Blackwood special constable praised for special efforts
4:50pm Friday 14th September 2012 in News
A DEDICATED special constable has volunteered for close to 500 hours patrolling his streets this year.
Dewi Roberts, 23, who works in Blackwood, has been a 'special' with Gwent Police since September 2010 and has given up 489 hours in the last year.
Special constables are expected to work 16 hours a month but Mr Roberts aims to do two eight-hour shifts a week.
Blackwood neighbourhood inspector Mark Smith congratulated his special constable team, who have clocked up more than 3,320 volunteer hours between them, and Mr Roberts was given special thanks along with special constabulary inspector Christine Smith and special constable Vicki Morris for volunteering significant amounts of time during the year and for their contribution to local policing.
MrRoberts, who works in Asda as his day job, said: "It's brilliant being a special constable. It's the best thing I've ever done.
"I would jump at the chance if a fulltime paid position came up.
"It's been a great confidence boost.
The first shift felt really scary but nowI happily go out onmyown and the regulars are great and always back me up and support me if I need it."
Inspector Smith said: "The Blackwood special constables, and Dewi in particular, are highly motivated and have been involved in a number of multi-agency operations.
"They make a real difference to the area, and in particular their commitment to policing the High Street road closure each Thursday evening."
Recruitment of special constables in Gwent begins again at the end of September, visit www.gwent.police.uk for more information.

Nothing fancy here, but there is nothing wrong with a simple beer done right, and thats the case with this Vienna Lager. Pours a really nice clear amber color and nice white head. Not much retention on the head, but just enough to leave a good lace.
Smell is of an inviting malt character, sweet with hints of caramel. German hops provide a nice counterpoint to the malt, providing a slightly floral/spicey hint.
Taste is well balanced in this one. Toasted malt character, but also a nice crisp from the hop bitterness. Slightly sweet, but not overly so. Also a little earthy spice from the hops at the finish.
Mouthfeel is of a rather light body but very crisp. Overall an enjoyable refreshing brew; very easy to enjoy several of these at once.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The bottle has no freshness date or abv% listed. This bottle was part of the 2009 Saranac Winter 12 pack.
Appearance: The body has a garnet color with good clarity. On top sits a thin half inch thick head which is beige in color and fades quickly. Lacing is very minimal and slick leaving a mostly clean glass behind.
Smell: It is light overall in the nose with some malty sweetness and hints of leafy, almost herbal/metallic hops.
Taste/Palate: There is a rich bready sweetness up front with some light roasted grain notes as well. This maltiness meats some hop flavor in the middle it and adds a nice moderate balance of hop spice and bitterness with just a very slight metallic edge. It seems to finish quickly and fairly clean. It is dryer than it started but there is still a thin residual sweetness mixed with thin hop bitterness. The body is light to medium with average carbonation.
Notes: For the style it seems just a little on the light side but everything is in good balance for the style. Once again Saranac has brewed another decent easy drinking beer.

Appearance: amber in color, 1/4 inch head, moderate carbonation, clear
Smell: caramel and toasted malt
Taste: big caramel toasted malt taste with a slight bitter hop backbone
Mouthfeel: medium/high carbonation, medium/light bodied, slightly sweet
Drinkability: This is an above average attempt at the style that is easy to session. I could have six of these while watching a game, but it is not anything I would get too excited about. Still a very solid effort.

12 Beers of Xmas 2009, this one pours a deep caramel ruby color crystal clear visuals. Light beige head forms thick and dwindles slowly. Aroma has some slight caramel malt sweetness with herbal German hops in the background. Flavor has a nice rounded caramel sweetness with slight roasted nut edges. Clean mildly hopped finish with a mineral edge. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied for a lager carbonation is decent just not as soft as it should be. Overall tasty Vienna style not the best but a solid approachable beer for any of the in laws during the holidays.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass
A-Clear copper with a thin whisp of an eggshell head
S-Bready malts predominate
T-Sweet malts, bread, caramel, toffee with very little hop presence. This is pretty refreshing, but not particularly wintery.
M-Decent mouthfeel, if slighly overcarbonated.
D-Pretty drinkable, if slightly unremarkable brew.

Saranac- Winter Lager
A- Clear amber/ copper brown with a thick head. Ringed lacing but quick head dissapation.
S- Malty, brown sugar, caramel, and spicy.
T- Thick and sugary sweet malt, brown sugar, caramel, light touch of molasses, and light woodsy spiciness.
M- Malt is dominant with a syrupy sugary sweetness. Light dry earthy finish.
Overall- My 1st from this years Winter variety pack and a decent offering. A good 1 to start off the night with.

pours an amber-red that laces very nicely and delicately in my DFH pint...bready smells rise out with a hint of muscadine? interesting. maybe it's the spices. this tastes (from memory...) similar to the sam adams winter brew. this seems less thick and luscious in mouthfeel, but really has a nicely balanced flavor profile of malts, spices, and some subdued hops keeping the sweetness at bay. a good session winter brew i'd find easy to drink on cool, early spring days.
another swallow as it warms it and it only gets better, more rich, more sourdoughy...
another one of Saranac's standouts.

Pours an effervescent copper/orange with 1 finger of tan head. Average head retention & lacing
S: Breadyness & a touch of toasty malt
T: Toasted malt, herbal hops, dryness up front. Dryness, a bit of metallic hops & some toasty malt as this warms. Finishes chalky with a slight apricot fruittyness, & a whisper of booze, barely pulled a 3.0
MF: Thinnish with a bit too much carbonation
Drinks okay, but a bit weak & uninteresting, maybe one of the most disappointing Saranac beers I've had

Pours a crystal clear amber color with a tight egg-shell colored head that settles into a light ring. The aroma is of a light caramel malt, a bit bready with hints of copper. The taste is of caramel malt, a little doughy, light spice, and a touch of grassy hops. All of the flavors are rather light. The feel is light but not watery, plenty of carbonation, well balanced; finishes with an ever so slight bitter hop. This is a darn refreshing beer. Very clean flavors and very crisp. No off-putting flavors. Not the most flavorful brew but its very drinkable. Great to session.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle (2009 batch) marked 2649-0834. Sampled on Nov 11, 2009. The pour is a darker amber color with a lot of bubbly carbonation flowing upward to a thin off-white head. The lacing is limited. In the aroma I note some muted malts and hops with something a bit fruity and grassy. The mouthfeel is thin. The taste has a bit more to offer than the aroma with a hint of caramel bitterness with a slightly bolder hoppy finish. But overall it is quite average, although easy to drink, but with the character of a cheaper winter lager for a slightly larger dollar.

1 of the 12 Beers of Winter; from a 12 oz bottle.
A: The lager is a dark amber color, a syrupy caramel that fits nicely as a Vienna lager. A finger of head, white, didn't lace.
S: The nose has a clean bready flavor that lacks the traditional aroma of many Saranac ales. Earthy hops finish off the nose.
T: Clean and grainy, this is the second Saranac lager that has really hit the spot. A vine-fruit sweetness assists the malt profile. As in the nose, hops are subtle, balancing rathering than bittering.
M: The mouthfeel is grainy sweet, lighter bread flavors and a kiss of hops.
D: The fuller malts add a great deal to the body, strengthening it up significantly. Another good lagerbier from Saranac.

Poured a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A. Chestnut brown body with about one finger of off-white bubbly head that drops after a few moments. Light amount of carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass.
S. Roasted malts and lager yeast aromas dominate this one.
T. Sweet roasted malts and earthy bready texture.
M. Light and creamy with a sweet aftertaste.
D. I wouldn't mind picking this up every once in a while.

The fourth in the lineup for the day for me. Not really sure what to make of this one at first, but I will admit it did grow on me after a while. Served cold and poured into a pint glass, this one was consumed on 2/21/2010.
The pour was nice, garnet in color and clear without much in the way of haze or cloudiness at all. Really nice and light head of white that sat on top for all but a few moments before settling down with some nice side lacing and a rich, even layering. Aroma of caramel, smoked nuts, hints of toffee and sweet brown sugar came off a little much for me at first, but again it tended to start to grow on me after a while. Nice smooth, coating feel here really seemed to do the trick for me though as it rounded its way through the palate. Caramel and nuts were the big the players here. Rich brown sugar and caramel all seem to come together nicely, evenly and smoothly. Light abv and a nice carbonation all lended themselves to being able to pull it all together quite nicely.
Overall a nice little lager, nothing really earth shattering, but nice and clean.

I poured into a pint glass to a couple inches of head. It is amber in color and clear. It smells of sweet toffee. The taste is pretty much the same. This is a pretty simple beer. It goes down easy because there is not much to it. A little too sweet for me, but otherwise clean and drinkable.

Poured from a bottle into a Sierra Nevada pint glass. Rich, semi-opaque brown beer with a small, but long lasting tan head. Lots of lacing left behind.
Aroma of caramel and other sweet malts. The sweet malt flavors are right up front. Not much bitter or hop flavor, but they're not necessary here. The mouth feel is substantial and not watery at all. This is a really good lager. I could drink several of these tasty beers with no problem.

Poured a medium amber hue with a one and a half finger frothy white head. There was very good retention and good lacing.
The smell featured a light caramel sweetness, some roasted malts and a strange mintiness.
The taste consisted of a slight artificial sweetness, some toasted malt and a bit of caramel.
The mouthfeel seemed to lack the body of better examples.
Overall a decent lager. The strange sweetness adversely affected the experience for me.

12 ounce bottle poured into a Unibroue tulip. Off-white head lasts for a just a short period and than disappears, leaving mild lacing. Aroma is hoppy and spicy with a malt base. Taste is slightly sweet and nicely hopped. Body may be a bit thin, but overall a pretty decent winter brew.

Fosamax Linked to Easily Breaking Bones
Byron's Comments:
A really sad situation considering millions of women will be affected.
Study Title:Atypical Fractures of the Femoral Diaphysis in Postmenopausal Women Taking Alendronate
Study Abstract:
The long-term safety of bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis has been questioned. Two case series have suggested a link between prolonged bisphosphonate therapy and atypical fractures. In one series, a small number of patients sustained low-energy nonvertebral fractures while receiving long-term alendronate therapy; three were fractures of the femoral shaft.1 Bone biopsies in these patients showed evidence of severely suppressed bone turnover and fracture healing that was delayed or absent. In the other series, low-energy subtrochanteric fractures were found in nine women who had been receiving long-term alendronate therapy.2 Theoretically, bisphosphonates suppress bone turnover and thus might be associated with accumulated microdamage in bone. To our knowledge, no study has demonstrated microdamage accumulation in patients treated with bisphosphonates, and data from studies in animals remain difficult to interpret because supranormal doses of bisphosphonates are used. Nevertheless, the possibility that bisphosphonates alter bone strength with prolonged use appears to exist.
We identified 15 postmenopausal women who had been receiving alendronate for a mean (±SD) of 5.4±2.7 years and who presented with atypical low-energy fractures, defined as fractures occurring in a fall from a standing height or less. All patients sustained subtrochanteric or proximal diaphyseal fractures. Bisphosphonate use was observed in 37% of all patients presenting with low-energy subtrochanteric or diaphyseal fractures. Fractures of the subtrochanteric or diaphyseal regions are relatively rare in postmenopausal women, representing 6% of all osteoporotic hip fractures in our patient population (unpublished data).

Industrial group hunts for yet more specialised engineering opportunitiesBack
Engineering|Johannesburg|Africa|APE Pumps|Eskom|Industrial|Petrochemicals|Projects|PSV|PSV Holdings|Pumps|Shell|Africa|South Africa|Capital Equipment|Equipment|Industrial Engineering Group|Manufacturing|Petrochemicals|Power Generation|Power-generation|Abie Da Silva|Power
© Reuse this Specialised industrial engineering group PSV Holdings will be consolidating its manufacturing and corporate footprint around the premises of newly-aquired APE Pumps, in Germiston, but remains on the prowl for yet more engineering acquisiitons.
He added that the company is spending about R8-million on new capital equipment and R1-million on the refurbishment of the facility.
"An approved capital investment programme will, firstly, allow PSV Services to eliminate the outsourcing of machining of material and, secondly, the additional equipment will expedite turn around and delivery times for APE Pumps," said Da Silva.
On other potential strategic acquisitions, he added that the company had sent out a cautionary notice for a specialised engineering business.
"The deal will be finalised in the next two months and we will be in a position to elaborate more."
PSV starts its new financial year on a confirmed order book of R110-million as of end of February.
All current contracts are progressing well and amounts to R250-million, include a five-year pump maintenance and spare supply contract, a three-year petrochemicals service contract and a three-year petrochemicals spares supply deal.
As a result of the massive fuel price increases in South Africa and the fact that many older pumps are not able to cater for a fuel price greater than four digits a litre, it is expected that PSV's Petrologic subsidiary will receive orders for the updating of these old fuel pumps.
PSV has successfully benefited from the cross selling of services to large international clients. The company was recently awarded a contract to manufacture swirl tube separator assemblies under licence for Shell Global Solutions International, becoming only the second company in the world to manufacture these swirl tube assemblies.
The company will continue to exploit opportunities arising from the upsurge in infrastructural and power generation spend in South Africa.
"We remain close to Eskom and are especially excited about their update and extension programmes, some of which we are already tendering for. We are encouraged by opportunities in the market place, which our group will be able to capitalise on," concluded Da Silva.

Health and social care in east Cheshire rated 'average' by patients
12:00pm Sunday 4th May 2014 in News
HEALTH and social care across East Cheshire is viewed as 'average' by residents and members of voluntary and community groups.
The view emerged from a stakeholder event staged by the NHS Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as part of its Caring Together programme, which aims to deliver a new system of health and social care.
Caring Together is giving the community the chance to have its say about any changes, and its first stakeholder event brought together 62 residents, frontline health and social care staff and members of voluntary or community groups.
A CCG spokesman said those taking part gave an average rating of six for the quality of health and social care, confirming that services, while of adequate quality, have definite scope for improvement.
Those attending felt a "one size fits all" approach to accessing services was not working, with the consensus being that there should be greater flexibility, enabling patients to access a wider range of services without always having to go through a GP.

Holder Doubles Down On Terror Suspects In Civilian Courts; McConnell: "Send Them To Guantanamo Where They Belong"
House and Senate will reconvene on Monday. On Tuesday the Senate will take up a district judge nominee for Oregon, followed by the nomination of CIA Director Leon Panetta to be Secretary of Defense.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has filed cloture on S. 782, the bill reauthorizing the Economic Development Act, and a cloture vote is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday, the Senate voted 73-27 to agree to the Feinstein-Coburn amendment to S. 782, which would repeal an ethanol tax credit. Following that vote, the Senate rejected an amendment from Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to prohibit federal funds for ethanol blender pumps and ethanol storage facilities by a vote of 41-59.
Last night, Politico wrote, "Attorney General Eric Holder is finding his voice again, staking out traditionally liberal positions in public and behind closed doors despite a series of highly publicized setbacks, most notably the White House's rejection of his plan to try September 11 suspects in civilian courts."
And sure enough, despite that setback, the AP reports, "Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday defended the prosecution of terrorism suspects in civilian court after the top-ranking Senate Republican urged him to send two Iraqis to Guantanamo Bay rather than try them in Kentucky." According to the AP story, "Holder insisted in his speech that civilian courts are 'our most effective terror-fighting weapon.'"
Does the Attorney General really believe our civilian courts are a more "effective terror-fighting weapon" than our military, our intelligence services, and law enforcement across the United States?
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell disagrees vehemently with Holder's position. The AP writes, "McConnell issued a statement in response to Holder's speech that said foreign terrorists belong at the secure detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. 'There is wide, bipartisan opposition to giving the rights of U.S. citizens to men who tried to kill our troops on the battlefield,' McConnell said. 'Unfortunately, this administration has been working since its first week in office to do just that, regardless of the opposition in those communities or their elected leaders in Congress.'"
As The New York Times reported, "Speaking on Fox News, Mr. McConnell denounced the Justice Department's decision to prosecute two Iraqi men who were charged with terrorism last week in Kentucky. He said the men should be sent to the military prison at Guantánamo to face charges, even though they were arrested on domestic soil. 'A few years ago, we set up military commissions for the specific purpose of trying foreign terrorists,' Mr. McConnell said. 'The perfect place for these terrorists is at Guantánamo, to be interrogated. And, if subsequently a trial is deemed appropriate for these foreign terrorists, there are courtrooms down there for the military commission trials. There is really no reason to be mainstreaming these foreign terrorists into a regular U.S. court.'"
The AP noted that "members of Congress have successfully fought Holder over the prosecution of five other terrorism suspects planned for New York City, including alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The Obama administration bowed to the political pressure and backed off the plan, saying it would instead prosecute them before a military commission."
But now Holder is apparently doubling down on trying foreign terror suspects in our civilian court system, despite bipartisan opposition to this bad idea.
As Leader McConnell previously said, "These men don't belong in a courtroom in Kentucky. They belong at the secure detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, far away from U.S. civilians. Sending them to Gitmo is the only way to ensure that they will not enjoy all the rights and privileges of U.S. citizens. Sending them to Gitmo is the only way we can be certain there won't be retaliatory attacks in Kentucky. Sending them to Gitmo is the only way we can prevent Kentuckians from having to cover the cost and having to deal with the disturbances and disruptions that would come with a civilian trial. And sending them to Gitmo is the best way to ensure that they get what they deserve. . . . Send them to Guantanamo where they belong. Get these terrorists out of the civilian system — and out of our backyards."

It is hard to imagine that anything good can possibly come from having to grieve the loss of someone you love, but I am learning from my own experience that in fact much good is resulting through it. My father died this past October very unexpectedly. Several years ago, as my parents grew older, I began to consider the ugly fact that their time here on earth was growing more limited. Those thoughts often provoked fear and uncertainty about what it would be like to lose either one of them.
I found it interesting a few weeks after my father's death to realize that I could endure it. The anticipation was in an odd way worse than the actual reality. I could not imagine what it would be like to lose a parent. Now I know. I am surviving it, and this in a strange way was a comforting relief for me. A good one too!
I am challenged in my life with control issues. In my defense, I will say that I come by it naturally. I grew up in a family system where controlling behaviors were displayed by the adults around me. These behaviors had to be dealt with and often created emotional pain and distress. Over time, it influenced my own behavior. I've hated confronting my own issues with control—the "want" of it, the "hanging on to it" of it, the "not letting it go" of it. I, of course, never wanted to end up acting this way either. So, working on these areas has been part of my own life journey.
I've been rather amazed how through my grief work and letting go of my father's life, I seem to be gaining a stronger sense of allowing what is to be as it is. I never would have imagined this valuable lesson possible when I received the phone call about my dad. In that moment after the call I said out loud: I never wanted this to happen but I guess I don't have a choice. That very moment was the beginning of my journey of how to live life without clinging to the false idea that I somehow can have or need control. Death is the ultimate end. There is no coming back. I can't change that fact. Facing this is freeing me. Who would have thought so much good could shine through grief—certainly not me!
What good is coming through your grief work?

BOSTON (Reuters) – A friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is confident he will beat charges he hampered the investigation into the blasts, one of his attorneys said on Monday citing a "lack of evidence" in the case.
Attorney Matthew Myers said his client, Azamat Tazhayakov, had rejected a deal with prosecutors for a reduced sentence and believes the government's case is "beatable."
"He knows he isn't guilty. He's confident," Myers told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Boston. "I think everybody will be shocked, even just the average juror in Boston will be shocked at the lack of evidence in this case."
Tazhayakov, 20, is one of three of Tsarnaev's college friends accused of hampering the investigation by removing a laptop and backpack containing empty fireworks casings from Tsarnaev's dormitory room at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth three days after the attack.
Three people were killed and 264 injured in the bombing at the finish line of the historic race April 15, 2013.
Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, a Kazakh exchange student, were charged with obstruction of justice and could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The third friend, Robel Phillipos of Cambridge, Massachusetts, faces up to 16 years if convicted of the less serious charge of lying to investigators.
A fourth man, 23-year-old Kyrgyzstan national Khairullozhon Matanov, has separately been accused of lying to investigators and was denied bail on Monday at another hearing.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov were first questioned by investigators four days after the bombing, when heavily armed law enforcement agents arrived at their New Bedford, Massachusetts, apartment. The next day, they were arrested on charges of violating the terms of their student visas.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock said jury selection in Tazhayakov's case would begin on June 30 from a pool of hundreds of potential jurors. He said he expected the trial to begin on July 7.
Defense attorneys contend that statements Tazhayakov made under interrogation were involuntary. Woodlock warned that if he found at trial that the suspect's statements had been involuntary, he would declare a mistrial.
At the Matanov hearing on Monday, Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler denied bail, saying Matanov was a flight risk. Matanov, a taxi driver who emigrated to the United States in 2010, has been accused of destroying records and making false statements to investigators. He has pleaded not guilty.
Tsarnaev, who also is accused of killing a university police officer in a shootout three days after the bombings, is awaiting trial in a prison west of Boston. He faces the possibility of execution if convicted.

Allows you to disable Dashboard access for users of a specific role or capability. Disallowed users are redirected to a chosen URL.
Simple and wonderful! It's just what I needed.
Works like a charm!
I'm using woocommerce for an e-commerce site, and even though customers won't see much if they get to the dashboard, it's still not something I want them to see. So luckily I found this plugin, and although it may not have tons of options, it has all the options I needed. It works perfectly and it's easy to set up!
Limited options but simple and effective.
Simple and effective...though you do need to understand what roles folks have if you want to deny anyone other than an admin...I used edit posts as I wanted to keep only subscribers out.
This is a god-send. With the plethora of people out there doing alterations to function.php documents etc., and a load of other unnecessary steps to jack up your site, here is a simple yet most effective solution to a very sought after issue. Thanks for a solid solution :)
Well-thought out, unlike a lot of code snippets floating around. Handles AJAX issues, for instance.
Bonus points for posting on Github (I forked for a multisite setup).
This plugin is just what I was looking for - the ability to STOP my users from accessing wp-admin unless it's me or the other admins of my site.
The ability to redirect users was also a requirement that has been fulfilled nicely.
What would make this even greater is if it could work with the "members" plugin where you can create your own roles and have those roles plugged in here as well.
elseif ( ! preg_match( '|^\S+://\S+\.\S+.+$|', $options['redirect_url'] ) )
That is far from sufficient as a URL regex. Consider, for example, the URL
http://localhost/~squelch which is perfectly valid. As a developer I need to test things before they go live.
It's a shame as this looks like it could be a good solution. If/when this gets fixed I'll be more than happy to revise my rating.
Thank you. simple and easy to install and use. does exactly as described.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to stressors in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with alterations in regional brain structure and function in preterm infants, according to a study published online Oct. 4 in the Annals of Neurology.
Gillian C. Smith, from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and colleagues investigated the impact of exposure to stressors in the NICU on the brain structure and functional outcomes of preterm infants born at less than 30 weeks of gestation. Neonatal Infant Stressor Scale scores derived from recordings of procedures and cares by trained nurses were used to measure exposure to stressors. Cerebral structure and function were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (brain metrics, diffusion, and functional magnetic resonance imaging), and neurobehavioral examinations at term-equivalent postmenstrual age. These relationships were analyzed using simple and partial correlations after correcting for confounders, including immaturity and severity of illness.
The investigators found that the amount of exposure to stressors varied significantly between infants and over the course of a single infant's admission. Exposure to a higher number of stressors correlated with decreased brain width in the frontal and parietal regions, altered functional connectivity and diffusion measures within the temporal lobes, and altered motor behavior on neurobehavioral examination.
"Our data suggest an important vulnerability of the preterm brain to stressful exposures, independent of measures of severity of illness, that is highly worthy of research focus," the authors write.

Lenovo EMC px2-300d NVR with Milestone Arcus Review
The Lenovo EMC px2-300d NVR with Milestone Arcus is a small purpose-built 2-bay NAS designed for video surveillance needs of small businesses. It is the new, updated version of the Iomega PX2-300d, which is also now under the Lenovo EMC brand name. Many business owners and companies need video surveillance to monitor their assets and it is predicted that this market will generate over $25 billion worldwide by 2016. With those figures in mind and as analog surveillance is well on its way out, Lenovo EMC has designed some of its popular NAS appliances with video surveillance software from Milestone, the market leader, to help IT resellers get a footing in this market. The Lenovo EMC px2-300d NVR is the first network video recorder (NVR) to use Milestone Arcus, a video management software package that makes the whole process as efficient and simple as possible.Read more

Synology RackStation RS10613xs+ Review
The RackStation RS10613xs+ offers the greatest maximum capacity and performance in Synology's network storage portfolio with the ability to manage total raw capacity as high as 424TB and maximum throughput specified at 2,000MB/s with 400,000 IOPS when both SSD caching and optional dual aggregated 10GbE interfaces are enabled. Running its DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, Synology is marketing the device as a convergence of NAS and SAN capabilities. As with the RackStation RS3412xs we benchmarked at the beginning of the year, Synology's approach with the RS10613xs+ is to unify file-level NAS storage with block-level SAN functions while providing hooks and integrations for a wide spectrum of common enterprise and SMB applications.Read more

Micron P420m Enterprise PCIe SSD Review
The Micron P420m is an enterprise application accelerator that ranges up to 1.4TB in total capacity that leverages the PCIe interface and is uniquely offered in both a half-height, half-length (HHHL) and 2.5" form factors. Micron has opted for 25nm MLC NAND for the P420m to meet not only mainstream market requirements for performance and reliability, but also to provide a more cost-effective and higher capacity offering than their P320h which is paired with SLC NAND. The other core difference between the P420m and the P320h is that Micron has added capacitors to protect in-flight data in the event of an unplanned loss of power. The additional data protection feature keeps the card powered long enough to flush all writes to the NAND, giving enterprises one more layer of data protection. The HHHL card interfaces via PCIe Gen2 x8 to achieve sequential read performance up to 3.3GB/s with writes up to 630MB/s and random reads up to 750,000 IOPS and 95,000 IOPS for write activity. The 2.5" interfaces over PCIe Gen2 x4 for up to 1.8GB/s and 430,000 IOPS, respectively.Read more

The drive offers a 6Gb/s SATA interface, capacities from 100GB to 960GB, and utilizes 19nm MLC NAND with specialized features designed to offer high endurance. The CloudSpeed 1000 from Smart comes in two variations, the 1000 and 1000E, to meet the varying needs of organizations that require either maximum capacity or greater levels of endurance. The CloudSpeed 1000 ships in capacities of 120GB, 240GB, 480GB and 960GB, while the CloudSpeed 1000E arrives in 100GB, 200GB, 400GB and 800GB models. That extra over-provisioning on the 1000E model yields 7,680TBW, with the 1000 at 3,070TBW.Read more

Huawei Tecal ES3000 Application Accelerator Review
The Huawei Tecal ES3000 is a family of full-height half-length enterprise application accelerators that leverage MLC NAND in capacities up to 2.4TB and PCIe interface (2.0 x8). On the surface the Huawei cards sound similar to many other products on the market, but a deeper look reveals a unique triple controller design that joins two PCBs together to form an impressive offering. On the top end of the performance scale this means 3.2GB/s max read bandwidth and 2.8GB/s write. From a latency angle, all thee capacities can drive 49µs and write latency of 8µs. The cards have a number of additional features as well including enhanced error checking, power fail protection and mechanisms to drive enhanced endurance over the course of their life.Read more
