Over the last four years Archimedius has tracked the evolution of VMware from server virtualization leader to private cloud leader and the rise of Amazon as a public cloud leader. Earlier in December I predicted the rise of the hybrid cloud in 2012, and later discussed the implications in greater detail in Top Five Cloud Predictions. In short, I think that hybrid cloud promises to transform the way that enterprises and service providers deliver IT services, and the way that vendors develop and bring to market their products and services.
Over the next five years we will watch IT move from a feudalistic, hardware-bound model to a service and software-driven model, thanks in large part to the transformation of public and private clouds into hybrid clouds. That will shift enterprise investment into cloud computing and shift tech market valuations from the stable and hardware-enabled to the nimble, service and software-driven. Trillions in market capitalizations are at stake, based on the timing and breadth of this transformation.
VMware as a Tech Leader
One could certainly make the case that this recent transformation started with VMware and the advent of server virtualization, unless you want to go further back to the days when IBM introduced time sharing on mainframes. In late 2010 I speculated that VMware could be the Next Microsoft (or Netscape).
Yet 2013 promises to be a watershed year for several tech companies, from VMware, Cisco, Juniper, and Amazon to a wide range of service providers who have been traditionally viewed as niche or segment specialists. Let's start with VMware, who perhaps fueled the march toward software and service-defined IT.
VMware has been architecting itself deeper into the enterprise data center thanks to its powerful server virtualization technology and a series of smart partnerships, acquisitions and internal development strategies that have been paying off consistently since its 2007 IPO. Early last year VMware acquired SDN(software-defined networking) startup Nicira for more than $1 Billion. The rationale apparently offered by VMware execs to a respected analyst I dined with in November 2012: "engineering expertise."
VMware, Networking and the Cloud
I wrote about the emerging importance of networks with cloud computing in November 2008; see, for example The Beginning of the End of Static Infrastructure. That is why I think "engineering expertise" could be a carefully crafted understatement.
Let me offer an alternative answer: I think the team at VMware understands the role that networking and services will play in the evolution of virtualization in the data center and ultimately the hybrid cloud; it may be well on its way to extend from the private cloud into the hybrid cloud just as it extended from DevTest into production data centers in recent years. Part of this challenge is the economics and constraints of hardware-bound networking (in a software-defined cloud), the other are the core services required for apps to run across multiple environments (hybrid clouds).
With Nicira VMware gets an important part of the networking functionality needed to further enhance the ROI of virtualization in the data center, based on decoupling network functionality from dedicated (and often expensive) hardware. As mentioned before, VMware could do to networks what it did to once expensive and custom ASIC-centric server hardware.
Validating the threat and opportunity posed by software-defined data centers and networks, Cisco announced "spin-in" Insieme Networks last year and Juniper recently announced its acquisition of Contrail Systems. Both are important first steps to an equivalent of VMware's broad software-defined data center initiative, but they are still missing key components that VMware already has on board. You can read more about the software-defined threat and opportunity at Cisco's Golden Age or Fleece. HP made an OpenFlow Announcement early in 2012, but it is clearly grappling with "bigger picture" issues.
Higher up the OSI stack are critical capabilities related to hybrid cloud apps, services and storage technologies that promise to be hot in coming years. See the buzz, for example, around the December 2012 launch of (my employer) CloudVelocity. In the data center and shortly in the cloud, SDN could commoditize network hardware and make clouds more cost-efficient and easier to manage. Along with SDN come new solutions in 2013 that allow apps and services to be deployed across clouds (optimized across data centers) similarly to how VMware optimized apps and operating systems across server hardware. Payoffs also include devtest in the cloud (or cloud cloning) and cloud failover.
Amazon and the Public Cloud
As VMware advanced from its virtualization technology roots into the private cloud, Amazon, led by the brilliant Dr. Werner Vogels, has leveraged its operating strengths as an online retailer to become the undisputed leader in the public cloud. Recently it has added more features and functionality around enterprise workloads, positioning itself for broader enterprise appeal. Perhaps Amazon's only weakness at this point is its very public obsession with public cloud, to the detriment of its potential leadership in hybrid could development.
2013: The Year of the Hybrid Cloud
The pace and breadth of hybrid cloud adoption could have a significant impact on the fortunes of Amazon and VMware as well as a host of other technology companies, as discussed in Hybrid is a Whole New Cloud. Service providers who understand the cloud could outgrow and "outmargin" those who are trapped in colocation offerings locked into traditional, hardware-bound approaches to IT.
Hybrid cloud promises to drive the adoption of new architectures, new solutions and new capabilities in 2013 as venture-backed companies and even larger tech players introduce new cloud migration, cloning and failover solutions for multi-tiers apps. These solutions could reduce the barriers to cloud adoption by allowing apps to run across multiple environments, limiting their exposure to regional outages and even natural disasters. With that you get the notion of a boundless data center no longer confined by specialized hardware and bricks and mortar, optimized almost continuously. See a recent tech trade press prediction: 2013 The Year of the Hybrid Cloud.
The hybrid cloud offers VMware a strategic opportunity to flank Amazon's public cloud leadership by enabling enterprises to adopt lower risk and lower cost hybrid cloud operating models; ways of operating that would give them greater control over their applications across multiple cloud providers. In the case of a cloud service provider outage an enterprise could light up their apps and services in a new zone or with another provider; they are not dependent upon a single cloud provider's ability to deliver very high uptime.
Enterprises would be well advised to work with multiple cloud service providers and/or regions within a single provider as extensions of their data centers. A core promise of the hybrid cloud idea is to get away from a single point of cloud failure, which today is challenging.
While Amazon trumpets the public cloud (and reliance upon Amazon's great pricing and expertise), VMware offers a virtualization-standardized private cloud vision with dependence upon its platform. The question becomes: who steps up first to deliver on the hybrid cloud promise?
In 2012 Amazon also made some strategic hybrid cloud moves. But as of December 2012 they have remained steadfast in the future of the public cloud. 2013 promises to be a watershed year for both VMware and Amazon.
In addition to Amazon and VMware a host of other companies emerge as either service providers or critical solution providers. I mentioned several potential leaders in Hybrid Cloud is a Whole New Cloud.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Knowledge and Practices of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Regarding Cytomegalovirus Infection During Pregnancy --- United States, 2007
In the United States, congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurs in approximately 1 in 150 live births (1), leading to permanent disabilities (e.g., hearing loss, vision loss, and cognitive impairment) in approximately 1 in 750 live-born children (2). A common mode of CMV transmission to a pregnant woman is through close contact with infected bodily fluids such as urine or saliva, especially from young children (3). Because no vaccine is available and treatment options are limited, renewed attention has been given to prevention of CMV infections among pregnant women through traditional infection-control practices, such as good hand hygiene (3). These practices have been encouraged by organizations such as CDC and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) (4), which recommend that obstetricians and gynecologists (OB/GYNs) counsel women on careful handling of potentially CMV-infected articles, such as diapers, and thorough hand washing after close contact with young children (Box). Despite this increased emphasis on avoiding infection during pregnancy, few women are aware of CMV infection and how it can be prevented (5). During March--May 2007, ACOG surveyed a national sample of OB/GYNs to assess their knowledge and practices regarding CMV infection prevention. This report describes the results of that survey, which indicated that fewer than half (44%) of OB/GYNs surveyed reported counseling their patients about preventing CMV infection. These results emphasize the need for additional training of OB/GYNs regarding CMV infection prevention and for a better understanding of the reasons that physician knowledge regarding CMV transmission might not result in patient counseling.
In March 2007, ACOG mailed surveys to members of the ACOG Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network (CARN), a group of practicing OB/GYNs who were identified via a stratified sampling scheme as representative of ACOG relative to geographic location, age, and sex and who are invited to participate in periodic ACOG surveys.* Two additional mailings (in April and May) were sent to physicians in this group who did not respond. Respondents were excluded if they indicated that they did not treat obstetric patients (n = 85) or practiced outside the United States (n = 6). Physicians were asked about their knowledge and practices related to prevention of several infections, including CMV, during pregnancy.
Of the 606 eligible CARN members, surveys were received from 305 (response rate: 50%). The respondents were statistically different (p<0.05) from the overall group of ACOG members relative to mean age and geographic district (Table 1). Although 90% of OB/GYNs reported knowing that washing hands reduces the risk for CMV infection during pregnancy, a smaller proportion were aware that not sharing utensils (57%) and avoiding children's saliva (55%) reduces infection risk (Table 2). Sixty percent of OB/GYNs reported that they routinely recommended hand washing to pregnant women; approximately one third reported routinely recommending that pregnant women not share utensils and avoid child saliva (31% and 30%, respectively). Fewer than half (44%) of OB/GYNs reported having counseled their patients about prevention of CMV infection.§
Approximately one fourth (27%) of OB/GYNs reported having diagnosed CMV infection in a pregnant woman since 2003 (Table 2). Among the 86% of OB/GYNs who reported ever testing for CMV during pregnancy, most provided CMV testing only if their patients requested a test or because a fetal anomaly was identified, consistent with ACOG recommendations (4) and CDC recommendations that CMV testing during pregnancy be performed under certain circumstances, which include the development of a mononucleosis-like illness during pregnancy.¶

DS Ross, PhD, SA Rasmussen, MD, National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities; JL Jones, MD, National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases; MJ Cannon, PhD, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, CDC.
Editorial Note:
Congenital CMV infection is a major source of childhood disability, including hearing loss, vision loss, and cognitive impairment (2). The estimated 5,000--8,000 children per year who develop disabilities associated with CMV infection is similar to or higher than the number estimated to be affected by better-known conditions, including Down syndrome and neural tube defects (2,3). Women who experience their first (i.e., primary) infection during pregnancy are at highest risk for transmitting CMV to their fetuses, with approximately 33% of fetuses becoming infected. However, women who have experienced an infection before pregnancy and then have a recurrent infection (i.e., a viral reactivation or reinfection with a different strain) during pregnancy also can transmit CMV to their fetuses, with approximately 1% of fetuses becoming infected (1). Most infections among pregnant women are believed to occur through contact with the urine or saliva of infected children or through sexual activity (6).
Numerous potential interventions exist for preventing congenital CMV infections or disease. Several vaccines are being developed, although progress has been slow (3). The effectiveness of certain interventions is controversial, including antiviral treatment or passive immunization using hyperimmune globulin for pregnant women with primary CMV infection (7) and antiviral treatment for newborns with congenital infection (8). Other types of interventions, such as newborn screening and follow-up to identify developmental disabilities and improve language or educational development, target secondary outcomes.
Good hand hygiene is a simple intervention that has the potential to decrease risk for CMV infection during pregnancy (3,4). CMV frequently is found in the urine and saliva of preschool-age children (typically 5%--25% of young children, although the percentage can be higher in day care centers) (3) and has been found on the hands of child-care providers. Furthermore, hand washing has been shown to prevent infection with various pathogens. Thus, although no definitive studies have documented that particular interventions reduce transmission, evidence suggests that avoiding exposure to urine and saliva, especially through good hand hygiene, reduces risk for CMV infection during pregnancy (3). Although such behavioral changes can be difficult to initiate and maintain, evidence indicates that pregnant women will make certain behavior changes that will protect their fetuses (3). Such measures are simple and likely to be cost effective; good hand hygiene is inexpensive, and the cost savings from preventing even one case of congenital CMV disease is high (9).
CMV can be transmitted through sexual contact, which is important for women to know. Because of the numerous programs and resources already in place to promote healthy and safe sexual practices for infections other than CMV (e.g., existing HIV/AIDS programs), this survey of OB/GYNs focused on prevention messages that might not be as widely promoted during pregnancy, such as good hand hygiene.
Whether OB/GYNs should routinely test pregnant women for CMV is a complicated matter. An initial negative maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) test, which indicates that the woman has never been infected with CMV, might indicate a higher risk for fetal infection if the mother subsequently becomes infected during pregnancy and thus might be a useful motivational tool to encourage the mother to practice good hygiene. A positive maternal IgG test might indicate lower risk for fetal infection; nevertheless, good hand hygiene still should be advised to prevent possible maternal CMV reinfection. Additional CMV assays (e.g., immunoglobulin M) are difficult to interpret, often not commercially available in the United States (e.g., IgG avidity), or invasive (e.g., polymerase chain reaction testing of amniotic fluid). Furthermore, testing algorithms that use these assays are only moderately effective at predicting maternal infection, fetal infection, and fetal damage (10). For these reasons, and because no proven treatment exists, routine CMV testing during pregnancy is not recommended; testing is recommended only when a fetal anomaly is detected, a pregnant woman experiences a mononucleosis-like illness, or a pregnant woman requests the test.**
The findings in this report are subject to at least two limitations. First, data were self-reported by OB/GYNs and might have been subject to social-desirability bias, which might have resulted in overreporting and an overestimation of knowledge and practices relating to CMV infection. Second, only ACOG CARN members were surveyed, and the response rate among CARN members was only 50%. Both the OB/GYNs who agree to be in CARN and those who choose to respond to the survey might be more interested in prevention counseling and as a result more likely to provide such counseling; therefore, the results might not be representative of all practicing OB/GYNs and might have resulted in an overestimation of the prevalence of counseling for CMV infection prevention.
Based on the survey, fewer than half of OB/GYNs reported counseling their patients regarding CMV-infection prevention. In addition, responses indicated that many OB/GYNs did not have a comprehensive understanding of modes of CMV transmission and possible prevention measures. These results emphasize the need for additional training of OB/GYNs regarding CMV infection prevention and better understanding of the reasons that physician knowledge about CMV transmission does not necessarily result in patient counseling. Additional surveys of OB/GYNs should attempt to identify factors associated with providing CMV counseling, solicit more detailed information about CMV knowledge and counseling practices, and assess perceptions related to frequency of infection, role of testing, and efficacy of good hand hygiene and prevention counseling.

* After reading the last chapter of {{xxxHolic}}, something hit me in relation to the symbols Yuko and Watanuki used to represent themselves, a butterfly and bird respectively. Back in the volume two, when Yuko had folded a butterfly to track someone, she mentioned that it could also become a bird if it had to travel farther. Meanwhile, in the completely different Creator/{{Clamp}} series Manga/{{Chobits}} from years back, Zima ends that series mentioning that children were meant to surpass their parents. Watanuki isn't meant to just be a cheap replacement- He may not be Yuuko's son, but he's her successor through and through, and one day he'll be more powerful than she ever was. Also, Clamp is ''really'' big on keeping track of their multiverse's rules. Tropers/{{Zashiki-Warashi}}
** Something hit me as I was reading this; Tanpopo. The little bird that Watanuki hatched and gave to Himawari.[[{{Shipping}} Regardless of your ship]] Watanuki gave something of ''himself'', (i.e. his symbol) to her in the hopes of making her happy.
** When the series gained the tagline "Rou" (meaning "cage") it was obvious that it referred to how the shop had become a cage that Watanuki was trapped in... but then he ''really'' became "the bird in a cage" when he decided the bird would be his symbol.
!!! Fridge Horror
* Yuuko has probably seen Watanuki die [[spoiler: hundreds of times because of the stable time loop in TsubasaReservoirChronicle]]

Bye weeks blow. Here are some videos that may help you get through the last few days!
I had some interesting stuff to put here about constraint plays and Mike Morgan's awesome fourth down stuff, but Danny is a huge jerk and decided not to wait a week to talk about the game so I'm a bit out of ideas. So I guess I'll just sum up the stuff about constraint plays by saying that Bevell seems to have really seems to have really hit his stride. I'm not sure if Carroll has allowed him to open the play calling up a bit, if Wilson's improvement has made him look better, the penalties getting cleaned up has improved effectiveness, or if it's a little bit of all of that but I'm really coming around on him. Even if that option in the Green Bay game was the worst play call I've ever seen.
Programming note: Judging by the number of views on the special teams videos none of you will be too sad to see that I've stopped doing them.

St Eugene's Cathedral information
Lonely Planet review
The Roman Catholic St Eugene's Cathedral was begun in 1851 as a response to the end of the Great Famine, and dedicated to St Eugene in 1873 by Bishop Kelly; the handsome east window (1891) is a memorial to the bishop. The bells of St Eugene's still ring every night at 9pm as a reminder of the Penal Laws (in force from 1691 until the early 19th century) which forbade Catholics from attending mass and subjected them to a 9pm curfew.

This recipe is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. I was looking for a lighter muffin recipe to try and stumbled across this one online. The zucchini keeps the muffins extremely moist without having to add a whole lot of oil. The cranberries pop in the oven and add a sour, gooeyness that I just love. If fresh cranberries aren't in season, the frozen ones work just fine.

Gravity: Visually Stunning, Prize Winning Film
For an entertaining 90-minute break from Earth, check out the movie Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. "Houston" down below is the voice of Ed Harris. Space is depicted as a very dangerous place -- a New York Times reviewer called this film a "Jack London tale in orbit."
Last night the film won seven (7!) Academy Awards, including best director, best cinematography, and best visual effects.
In the film, Sandra Bullock plays Ryan Stone, a star scientist and mother who has lost her young daughter. George Clooney is a seasoned astronaut. Following an accident, the two are stranded in space, facing daunting challenges such as trying to avoid a lethal storm of debris.
Alfonso Cuaron wrote the script with his son Jonás. Cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki is beyond fabulous. State-of- the- art special effects, both analog and digital, made me feel like I was, yes, floating in space.
Rating is PG 13. Currently at AADL there are 680 requests on 40 copies of the DVD and 437 requests on 30 copies of the Blu-ray. Place your order now!

Address Resolution Protocol
updated Apr 27, 2008 6:00 pm | 3,757 views
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network protocol operating at Layer 2 of the OSI model that is used to dynamically map between Internet Protocol (IP) address and IEEE MAC (Media Access Control) address which is the physical machine address that is recognized in the local network.
LAN Addressing
The ARP cache is a table that is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. When an incoming packet destined for a host machine on a particular local area network arrives at an internet gateway, the ARP program locates a physical host or MAC address that matches the IP address in the ARP cache. If the corresponding IP address is not located in the ARP cache, then a special request packette is broadcasted by ARP to all the machines on the LAN to determine with which the IP address it is associated.
The initial design and implementation of the ARP is published in RFC 826, a document written in 1982, before more the 10Mbit Ethernet became the industry standard. With the newer 100Mbit Ethernet becoming more prevalent, this may no longer be as much of an issue.
The ARP is generally implemented in the device drivers of network operating systems and commonly on the Ethernet networks. The ARP has also been implemented for ATM, Token Ring and some other physical networks. See also, IEEE 802 Standards for LANs and MANs, referenced below for implementations standards.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — The warped lifestyle of the comically dark Gomez and Morticia Addams clan is summed up in one line in the musical about the family now playing in Indianapolis.
Morticia, dressed in a slinky black Goth dress, talks to her daughter who has just announced she is dating a boy from a traditional American family. Morticia responds, "Normal is an illusion."
The quote, a creation of Charles Addams, the cartoonist creator of the Addams Family saga, continues, "What is normal for a spider is chaos for the fly."
That's the deepest, and most revealing, message in "The Addams Family," a fast-paced and romantic romp playing this weekend at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis. The production, based around one night with the macabre household, gives audiences everything it expects in characters and has a few surprises up its long, black sleeve.
The ancestry of all this goes back to the 1930s when Charles Addams drew his first cartoon about a family living in a mansion with Frankenstein-ish butler Lurch, prank-filled kids Wednesday and Pugsley, and led by the eccentric married couple, Gomez and Morticia.
In 1964, the campy TV show based on the ghoulish family debuted with John Astin as Gomez and Carolyn Jones as Morticia. In 2010, an original Broadway musical opened with Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia — stars whose fame and side glances likely carried the show across its rare dry moments.
Pacing here is quick as the plot is razor thin. Twentyish Wednesday wants to marry white-bread Lucas Beineke. The future in-laws are to meet for the first time in the Addams' house. And it works nicely, if not with some ridiculous segments, from there.
Granted, it's no humor-infused statement on racism a la "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" or a gender-bending romp as in "La Cage aux Folles"( with which it has many similarities). But like so many boy-family-meets-girl-family tales, love and relationships win over the appearance of proper tradition. Normal is indeed an illusion.
A rich performance is turned in by the brassy Jennifer Fogarty as Wednesday; she balances a quirky romance with a deadpan Goth twist. Jesse Sharp as Gomez is a fitting find; he captures with his undying (or dying) love for Morticia.
Top scenes include a tango featuring Sharp, KeLeen Snowgren as Morticia and ghostly ancestors. The second act also includes a clever solo by Shaun Rice as Uncle Fester floating in air while singing a love song to a balloon moon.
As we remember from the TV show's theme song, this offbeat family is ooky and spooky. Likewise, "The Addams Family" musical is campy, kooky and fun.
"The Addams Family," a musical When: 7:30 p.m. today, May 15; 8 p.m. Friday, May 16; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, May 17; 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 18. Where: Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University, 46012 Sunset Avenue, Indianapolis Tickets: Through cloweshall.org or ticketmaster.com. Information at (317) 940-6444.

National Press Club to Host "NEWSMAKER" Media Briefing with Virgil Goode, 2012 Constitution Party Candidate For President
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by the National Press Club:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080917/NPCLOGO)
DATE: Friday, Oct. 12
TIME: 2 p.m.
WHERE: Zenger Room of the National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, Washington, DC
Former Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode is the Constitution Party candidate for president, and political analysts say his candidacy could swing the battleground state of Virginia in a close contest there between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
Goode's running mate is Jim Clymer of Pennsylvania, who ran for the U.S. Senate on the Constitution Party ticket in 2004 and who served as national chairman of the Constitution Party National Committee for more than a decade.
Goode is on the ballot in more than half the states and is on the write-in ballot in another 10 to 15 states. Goode says he believes in balancing the budget sooner than in 10 years. He says there is a need to protect jobs for U.S. citizens by stopping so many foreign green card holders from entering the United States. He has been an advocate for term limits for the U.S. House and Senate. He has refused federal matching funds and is not accepting political action committee donations -- only individual donations of $200 or less.

By Raghavendra Upadhyaya
MUMBAI--Indian shares were flat early Monday, as bargain buying in Housing Development Finance Corp. and Reliance Industries offset losses in engineering company Larsen & Toubro.
The World Bank suspended Larsen from bidding for contracts until September after investigators found that the firm had failed to prevent one of its employees from falsifying documents to help secure a contract to supply ultrasound scanners in India's southern Tamil Nadu state in 2008.
At 0505 GMT, the Bombay Stock Exchange's S&P BSE Sensex was down 0.1% to 19663.32 points, while the National Stock Exchange's 50-share Nifty index was 0.1% lower at 5940.70 points.
"After the sharp 4% rise in the benchmark last week, the stocks are likely to consolidate at current levels," said Vivek Mahajan, head of research at Aditya Birla Money.
The S&P BSE Sensex's rise last week was the highest gain since the week ended November 30.
Mr. Mahajan said that investors are likely to take cues from local data this week and the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy next week. The central bank meets on March 19, before which the government will announce January industrial production data on Tuesday and inflation data for February on Thursday.
Mortgage firm Housing Development Finance Corp. was up 1.1% at 821.80 rupees ($15.12), while Reliance Industries was 0.4% higher at 854.55 rupees.
Both stocks were up on bargain buying, with Housing Development Finance Corp. below its 52-week high of 882.00 rupees hit on December 11 and Reliance Industries below its 52-week high of 954.80 struck on January 21.
Larsen & Toubro was down 0.9% at 1,482.70 rupees but off its intraday low of 1,455.25 rupees.
Dealers said that though the World Bank development is negative, bargain buying at lower levels should emerge due to the fact that the company will benefit from signs of improvement in global economic growth.

VIDEO: John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John Sing 'I Think You Might Like It' from New Holiday Album
'Grease' co-stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John recently released their new holiday album 'This Christmas'. Click below to watch the music video for the duet "I Think You Might Like It"!
The duo have combined their iconic voices for This Christmas, available now from Universal Music Enterprises. A true labor of love made specifically for "the giving season," Travolta and Newton-John will donate the artist proceeds from the album equally to their respective charities, the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Produced by veteran keyboardist/arranger/orchestrator Randy Waldman, This Christmas is the audio equivalent of those classic network TV specials hosted from the stars' homes, an intimate, warm set of traditional holiday songs from an all-star lineup that includes Barbra Streisand ("I'll Be Home for Christmas"), Tony Bennett and the Count Basie Orchestra ("Winter Wonderland"), James Taylor ("Deck the Halls"), Chick Corea ("This Christmas"), Kenny G ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"), Cliff Richard ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas") and the original "I Think You Might Like It" by writer/producer John Farrar.
The idea for the collection came from Travolta after receiving a Christmastime text from his old friend Olivia noting that their 1978 smash, "You're the One That I Want," had just become the best-selling duet in pop music history.

Shops and activity around the hotel.
Hotel RESTAURANT very EXPENSIVE FOR QUALITY SO SO .
the room was nice, a loft. the pool was nice also. food was good, staff is very friendly and helpful. I felt relaxed at this hotel.
the air traffic noise is there but not to serious.
English no problem. friendly and helpful staff. Easy for stay over or early flight. Very good value for money.
Good location for airport with free shuttle services outside pool and pool side area excellent. Beer garden is a really nice idea Room comfortable Staff generally helpful
Shuttle services infrequent at middle of day Limited hours for poolside bar. Staff in beer garden not up to standard of other staff. free Wifi only in downstairs libby area - these days wired internet in rooms isn't compatible with appliances and is charged.
Rooms Staff Food Information Poor wifi
Beer garden and the food was good
The check out takes too long.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Good wifi signal in room. The employees at the reception desk spoke English very well (apart from one woman who spoke none) and I was surprised to find that even the bellboys and housekeepers spoke enough English to communicate basic needs.
The additional costs for the breakfast and business center seemed quite high for China.
Excellent everything. :)
Staff were extremely helpful and had excellent English. Breakfast choices were lovely, and the dining room extends to a very pleasant outdoor eating area. Bed very comfortable, didn't hear any planes, and a great gift shop.
Comfortable stay in relaxing environment. Wonderful outdoor pool. Food in beer garden not bad and for reasonable price.
Leaking shower all over bathroom floor.
Staff was professional and friendly. Room was clean and spacious. Handy free airport shuttle (daytime).
Although the room was clean and spacious it was a bit dark and shabby too. It needs redecorating. I use Beijing airport often but I don't think I'll stay in this hotel again. The swimming pool closes at 10 pm. Free airport shuttle bus but not early in the morning (5am)
Overnighted here between flights. Definitely recommend it. I was surprised at the quality for a location this close to the airport given the price I had paid. Reliable free shuttle to airport every 30 minutes—about a 10 minute drive. Located at exit door #5 in terminal 3. Be sure to cross the road to where the van parks. Room was very elegant with polished wood and marble floors. Bed was western style—that is, not rock-hard like so many Chinese hotels! Local Chinese neighborhood just outside the gates which is fun to walk through and provides other eating options.If you plan on eating breakfast at the hotel (I didn't since I knew I would get it on the plane), you might want to include this in the room rate, especially if there are two of you, since I thought their separate price was a little high for China.
Only wired Internet in the room at extra cost. Wifi only in public areas
There are many eatery shops around the hotel. FOC transportation to and fro airport is excellent and also the daily morning shuttle bus to city is good as well.. Room is clean and spacial. Good value for the money.
The location is far from city, prepare to spend more time on traveling to city. From city back to hotel, go to Yonghe Gong subway station, beside the high way bridge, buy the airport shuttle bus ticket (RMB 18) at the emporium counter. Bus service run every 30 mins.
Was able to get room at 2 a.m. despite of very late arrival my reservation was not canceled. Very close to the airport.
Very slow internet connection, not really friendly stuff. It's ok to stay there for a short time period only. No shuttle bus after 12 a.m. other hotels have it. I stayed at Hilton Capital 2 weeks ago and they had shuttle bus even during night time.
The location and the restaurants inside the hotel. Moreover a very good shuttle bus service, taking the guests to the Airport in quick and efficient way
The double rooms with double doors (room 49 and 50) and one key, which forced me to enter from room 49 and quickly put the magnetic key close to the other door, in order to have power in the bed room. Very strange system, never seen before
Spa opens at 10 AM too late
Smelly room, old mattress . expensive restaurants. near sounding location but tricky to find even for cabbies.
OK for short stay when taking a connecting flight. Decent airport shuttle.
Shuttle bus from airport to hotel not by request. It is scheduled one per hour.
The price of the food is very high. Cheaper at the airport
Location. It was in the middle of nowhere. No chances to walk to other stores or restaurants. There was only 1 power outlet (bar) to recharge my electronic devices and I figured out that it only worked if one on the lights was turned on. I had to leave that light on the whole night.
Very poor airport shuttle service
The location allowed exploration of local streets. The staff who were not at the front desk (lifeguard, shop ladies, bottle painter) were extremely friendly and helpful.
The swimming pool was barely clean and uninviting compared to the pictures. The practice of taking money off a credit card at arrival seems very outdated and is concerning when the staff have minimal English to try and explain.
Proximity to Airport
Shuttle bus
Location is good and close to airport. tianzhu village a quiet and easy going part of Beijing. okay it might be rather distant from downtown Beijing, but airport express brings you there fast. Hotel has a shuttle service, this is a convenient way of getting from and to hotel, taxi's are also good option, 5 to 10 minute drive.
shuttle bus driver pretty frigid, did not step out of the van, i helped an older man to load his Luggage in the shuttle bus. This needs improvement.

Qualifying for the FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway begins Friday at approximately 3:10 p.m. ET. Each driver will run two laps, and proceedings will be broadcast by SPEED beginning at 3 p.m.
Jimmie Johnson won this race last year, and he'll be trying to put himself in a position to go back-to-back, as well as extend his current lead in the Sprint Cup points standings. He is one of four drivers to have won at least two races this season, and he has won this event three times in his career.
Kevin Harvick, who won the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend, hopes to carry that momentum into this weekend and further solidify his place in the top 10 of the points standings. Martin Truex Jr. is also back at the site of his only Sprint Cup Series victory -- he won at Dover back in 2007.
The race is scheduled to begin Sunday at approximately 1:15 p.m. and will be televised by Fox.

Firing a warning shot could be made legal as a self-defense tactic, as legislators consider a bill in Tallahassee.
The 'warning shot' bill has been approved by its final Senate committee and will be heard on the Senate floor.
The bill sponsored by Sen. Greg Evers, R-Pensacola, has garnered attention due to the Marissa Alexander case in Jacksonville. Alexander is currently imprisoned after being sentenced to 20 years for firing a gun near her estranged husband during an altercation.
The new bill addresses "10-20-life" in self-defense cases. Passed in 1999, the 10-20-life law requires lengthy sentences for specific felony firearm convictions. An NRA lobbyist said 10-20-life was not intended to be used in self-defense cases.
"If you think you can take a warning shot to prevent a crime, but you've gone a little bit over the edge to far, or it was a misdemeanor or wasn't an aggravated felony, all of a sudden you're facing a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence," said Jon Gutmacher, author of Florida Firearms Law, Use and Ownership.
The legislation is being taken up under the "Threatened Use of Force" bill. Gutmacher said the legislation needs improvement.
"That's the one that is most controversial and needs the most work."
While Gutmacher doubts the warning shot legislation will stay in the bill, there is another aspect which he expects to pass.
"The most important part is to get rid of the mandatory minimum and aggravated assault, and that's something everybody agrees on," he said.
Right now, if you point a gun at someone in Florida without even firing a shot, it's considered aggravated assault, with a penalty of three years in prison.
"It can even be, 'If you don't get away from me, I'm gonna pull my gun and shoot you.' I don't even have to point my gun for an aggravated assault," Gutmacher said. "I've seen it in two cases where a judge apologizes to the defendant and says, 'You don't deserve this, but I don't have any choice.'"
Alexander awaits a new trial after she won her appeal. The sentencing judge felt forced to abide by 10-20-life.
Opponents of the proposed changes worry they will encourage more people to fire shots.
Gutmacher said he is making recommendations to the NRA president about language in the bill.
