So why do I believe OpenStack has the edge among private cloud infrastructure platforms? After all, there are a bunch of them. A partial list would include Abiquo, Cloud.com (recently acquired by Citrix), Eucalyptus, RedHat CloudForms, and of course VMware's vSphere, vShield 5, vCloud Director, and vCenter Operations. Even Microsoft's Hyper-V and System Center together provide a private cloud stack.
I'm not dismissing any of those private cloud solutions -- particularly Eucalyptus, whose broad customer base and Amazon-compatible APIs make it an attractive solution. I'm just saying that OpenStack, co-created by IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) provider Rackspace and NASA, seems to have the most momentum, with more than 80 vendors now backing it, including Canonical, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Intel, and Microsoft. Plus, OpenStack is available under Apache 2.0, the least restrictive open source license.
Both Eucalyptus and OpenStack serve as both storage and compute platforms and give you a choice of hypervisors as the underpinning of your private cloud. And just as the Amazon-compatible APIs of Eucalyptus enable you to move workloads easily between your private cloud and Amazon's public cloud, OpenStack workloads have similar interoperability with Rackspace's public cloud.
This hybrid aspect has great appeal. Being able to burst as needed from a private cloud to a public one means you no longer need to buy infrastructure for peak demand. Obviously, Rackspace's public cloud is much, much smaller than Amazon's -- but Rackspace and its partners are going all out to encourage a panoply of public cloud providers to adopt OpenStack, as well as enterprise customers. With all those big company backers, the race is on. Plus, OpenStack can be further productized: Citrix is building its Project Olympus cloud infrastructure product (a commercial release will be available by end of year) based on OpenStack.
Interestingly, virtualization leader VMware also understands the power of the public/private model. In a recent interview with VMware CEO Paul Maritz, he noted that the company is working with telcos around the world to provide VMware-based IaaS to customers.
The private cloud enables you to manage a big chunk of your data center as if it were one big machine. The mind-blowing question is: Which operating system should you choose to run it? Here we are in 2011, still moving inexorably back to the old mainframe model.

why sign the 5'11" amendola when you can sign the 6'5" david nelson?!?!
forget the big money at WR. sign david nelson and jerome simpson, both pretty big guys. one headcase, one team player - they equal out. both should be had for very minor contracts. and both fit freemans game.then draft a tj moe/connor vernon late and whola...NFL WR core. vjax, mike will, nelson, simpson, and moe/vernon-underwood-benn fighting for the final roster spots.
David Nelson is nothing special, IMO.
nelson and simpson are nothing special, but they are NFL adequate and they fit Freeman and Sullivans game. amendola averages under 9 yards a catch and doesnt find the EZ. nelson is just over 11 ypc and finds the EZ.

Motorcyclist dies in High Wycombe collision
Updated 5:56pm Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
A 45-YEAR-OLD motorcyclist was killed in a collision in High Wycombe this morning.
The rider, from High Wycombe, was declared dead at the scene after a collision involving his motorbike and a silver Vauxhall Vivaro van. The driver of the van was uninjured.
The accident happened at the junction of Bassetsbury Lane and London Road just after 10am this morning.
The road was closed in both directions for several hours to allow investigation work to be carried out, causing long delays through High Wycombe town centre.
Thames Valley Police have now launched an appeal for witnesses to the collision to come forward to help with their investigation.
Anyone with information should contact investigating officer PC Melanie Todd of the Roads Death Investigation Team on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

PLATTSBURGH — The Rural Law Center in Plattsburgh is aiding the expansion of a free legal appellate assistance program.
The Law Center has teamed up with the New York State Bar Association's Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction and the Legal Project in Albany in providing pro bono expertise and assistance for select appeals cases.
The original pilot program, lasting one year, was available to people who lost civil cases and lacked the financial means to appeal.
Cynthia Feathers, co-chair of the Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction, said the program flourished, so they decided to continue it indefinitely.
"The pilot was a big success in providing free appellate attorneys for family-law appeals, but we realize there are many other (cases) in which people have urgent needs at the appellate level."
According to a Bar Association press release, the pilot program originally covered family and matrimonial appeals, but the new program covers appeals for a wide array of topics within those sectors, including education, health, housing and public benefits.
"New Yorkers shouldn't be denied representation on appeal solely because they lack the means to pay," said Bar Association President Vincent Doyle III in the release. "The State Bar Association is proud to be a national leader in providing pro bono legal assistance for appellate cases."
Susan Patnode, executive director of the Rural Law Center, said she worked with Feathers for a number of years discussing such problems.
"(Feathers) and I used to talk about how expensive it was for people to have appeals done."
She said it's a financial burden for those who are of modest means but also for the attorneys handling the appeals case, especially those in a rural area.
"Doing an appeal, if you're a solo practitioner, is not a small thing. It takes a lot of time and a lot of resources ... I thought there was quite a need up here."

See Architecture Students Build Walls To Line Weston Hall Walkway
More than two dozen architecture students will learn this weekend how to build brick walls, not only with their imaginations but also with their hands, at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The second annual build and design competition is sponsored by the International Masonry Institute of New Jersey (IMI/NJ). The organization has donated the materials in addition to pouring more than a half dozen concrete foundations.
Student teams, all of them students enrolled in NJIT's New Jersey School of Architecture (NJSOA), will spend two days erecting sections of walls (many featuring right angles and windows) which team members designed with professors earlier in the semester.
Teaching young architects the practical aspects of working with masonry materials is the premise behind the competition. Materials will range from bricks to mortar. Their work will line the long, concrete promenade leading to Weston Hall, site of NJIT's architecture school.
The event, which continues through the weekend, officially ends Monday,
April 19, 2004, at 6 p.m. when a panel of judges will announce the winning teams in the second floor main gallery of Weston Hall. Monetary prizes will be awarded.

More than twice as many British Muslims have travelled to Syria and Iraq to wage jihad than have joined the British military over the past three years. The difference could be even greater after it was claimed last night that the number of Britons to have fought with Islamic State (Isis) and other extremist groups in the region was much higher than the 400 to 500 identified by police. One MP said that more than 1,500 British militants had joined the fight to create a caliphate, while a leading figure in the Muslim community put the figure at between 600 and 1,000. About 560 Muslims serve in the British army. The figures came as the hunt intensified for the British jihadist who beheaded the American journalist James Foley. In the fast-moving crisis: · A former French hostage said he believed that he knew the identity of the suspected killer, dubbed Jailer John. · It was revealed that Islamic State militants demanded $132 million (£80 million) in exchange for Foley. · US warplanes continued to bomb Islamic State positions in Iraq despite a warning that a second US hostage would die unless they stopped. · Concern grew in Britain of copycat killings inspired by the beheading. The stark difference in the number of British Muslims waging jihad and those joining the armed forces was attributed, in part, to a warped glamorisation of jihad on social media. Online brainwashing against the West by radicalised individuals w
A French journalist who was held hostage for seven months with James Foley spoke yesterday of the "macabre" games their captors played, including mock executions. Didier François, 53, a radio journalist for Europe 1, who was released in April with three other French hostages, said that their jailers particularly enjoyed tormenting Foley, because he was American. When they discovered from pictures on Foley's computer that his brother served with the US air force, the beatings became even worse. Mr François said that their Isis jailers "had a taste for the macabre" and had clearly decided to kill Foley. They had already practised mock executions several times, including one crucifixion against the wall. Mr François added: "We spent seven months in a very extreme situation together, including for one week we were handcuffed one to the other day and nig
Patients will soon be treated by less-qualified doctors' assistants in local surgeries and hospital emergency wards under government plans to relieve pressure on the NHS. Science graduates with two years' intensive training — compared with the seven years it takes to become a doctor — will qualify as a new class of medic known as "physician associates". They will carry out many of the same roles as junior doctors, including examining patients, ordering and interpreting tests, admitting and discharging to hospital and deciding on treatment. They cannot prescribe drugs but will prepare prescriptions for doctors to sign off. Ministers argue that the move will free doctors to focus on more complex care. However, medical and patient leaders fear that the scheme could be dangerous if the assistants are asked to do too much and warn that they must not becom

The Arizona Legislature has taken the first step needed to give Gov. Jan Brewer more than $6.8 million to allow the state's child welfare agency to hire 192 new workers right away.
The Senate Appropriations Committee approved the $6.8 million supplemental funding proposal Tuesday. It shifts $1.1 million in the current budget to the Department of Economic Security and gives the agency another $5.7 million.
Brewer asked for the money in addition to a $74 million request to remake Child Protective Services included in her proposal for the budget year beginning July 1.
Also approved was a $1.4 million request for the Independent Redistricting Commission. The committee also voted to appropriate $100,000 for lawyers fighting subpoenas issued to current and former lawmakers about their communications concerning 2010's Senate Bill 1070.

BY Todd Lancaster Times Herald
The Washington Times-Herald
---- — Julian Jerome Brown is a tough kid.
That is not an opinion - it's a statement of fact.
To the casual observer, Julian (or J.J. as he is know by just about everyone) looks like every other shaggy, blonde freshman playing JV soccer. He plays a little guitar, spends too much time on his phone and is always up for a little Xbox.
He has yet to score a goal or pick up an assist this season, and right now those are the only numbers he is concerned with. However, at the end of his seventh grade year, about 15 months ago, the most important number was 10, as in he had about a 10-minute window to have surgery on a skull fracture, brain injury and several other injuries sustained in a golf cart accident at West Boggs Campground - or the consequences would have been dire.
J.J. and several friends were on a street legal-style golf cart, when they lost control coming down a hill, causing the cart flip on its side and J.J to hit his head on the road.
Although he did not appear to in serious trouble at first, his mother Andrea Brown, an emergency room nurse at Daviess County Hospital, who was camping nearby, knew things were not right.
"When I arrived I saw he had bleeding out of his left ear and the left side of his face wasn't moving so I thought there might be some nerve damage — and it might be worse than just a skull fracture," she said.
"There was some debate on whether the helicopter should land at Boggs right then or take him to the hospital first. Actually, he never got into the hospital, as it (the helicopter) was waiting for him at the DCH landing pad and he was lifelined to Evansville."
J.J. had an epidermal hematoma, so they had to perform a craniotomy, which means surgeons had to cut away about a third of his skull. along with that, J.J. and family would still have to deal with paralysis in his face, hearing loss and having casts set on his arms.
"Every time they looked at an X-ray they found something else," said Allen Brown, J.J.'s father.
However, even facing the long road to recovery and an uncertain future, J.J. wanted to get back on the soccer field.
"I didn't think he would every play any sports. In fact, he still had both arms in casts when he asked the his doctor, 'When can I play again?'" said his mother.
That number was six months, and although he admitted that he would try to sneak out and play before he was fully cleared, no one was sure if he would be able to play again.
During that winter he played on an indoor team, before returning to travel soccer in the spring and high school this fall, where he joins his older brother Brooks, a senior, on the Hatchet team.
Brown said he is not nervous on the field about heading the ball or any other part of the game. He also said that his coaches and teammates don't treat him any differently. And he doesn't expect him too.
"I just do the same things I've always done," said Brown.
Hatchet coach Quintin Myers is quick to say how proud he is of J.J. and the tremendous strides he has made.
"You can't tell the difference between J.J. and anyone else out there," said Myers. "He goes just as hard, and has never asked for anything special."
"This is the most serious injury we have every had a player go through, and to come back the way he has is just amazing. No one would have blamed him, if he would have chosen to take the easy way out."
Myers said that when J.J. scores his first goal, it will probably be a special moment.
"It will probably be a little bit of an emotional moment for those on the inside - J.J., his family and friends, the coaches and teammates.
"We are blessed to have J.J. back, especially when you realize how close we were to losing him," added Myers.
And it is doubtful anyone will ever question his toughness on or off the field.

I will be the first to admit, I do not watch enough NCAA Football to have an informed opinion on my own. I read a lot.
I am a bit hung up on the Tannehill at #8.
Part of me does think Flynn was an intentional walk away, and that the Dolphins knew all along what they were going to do... but was is R. Tan?
We drafted Pat Devlin and threw him on the practice squad, a guy who ESPN thought enough of to feature on Sports Science and has as many YouTube videos out there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkPzmE0__7A (Highlights)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOBxUdi3glQ&feature=related (Sports Science)
Matt Moore got some stuff done last year. Devlin is in a prime spot to get a full off season of competition in. Garrard is a mentor.
I read a www.rotoworld.com mock today with Blackmon at #8 ... I would be fully in love with this decision. Take the best WR at 8, and then possibly trade a late round pick and our 2nd to move up for Weeden....not crazy.

The Meetupery is a community-operated workspace where people with common interests can meet, socialize or collaborate. While this type of venue or community is sometimes referred to as a "hackerspace", it's more likely that people might refer to it as more of a co-op or community center where members and the general public can gather for group activities, to receive social support, to learn and share or almost anything else imaginable.
As you can imagine, the Meetupery is member-driven. Decisions for the organization remain largely in the members' hands. It's like a social club for people who like to create things, share ideas, and collaborate. Our members are able to meet and discuss projects, explore technical endeavors, and communicate thoughts and work on projects individually or as a group.
The Meetupery acts as hub for the community by providing a safe environment that nurtures the creative process and personal growth. It exists to help support its members' projects – whatever they might be. Through collectivism and a democratic process our members gather new skills and expand their minds.

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) -- Two 19-year-old men have been arraigned on aggravated murder charges in the slaying of an 18-year-old southwest Ohio man whose body was dumped several counties away.
Maj. John Burke (BUR'-kee) with the Warren County sheriff's department says Timothy Mosley and Austin Myers were arraigned Thursday in municipal court in Lebanon. They're being held without bond.
Burke says they're accused of killing 18-year-old Justin Back and burglarizing the Waynesville home Back shared with his parents. Authorities believe Back was choked, stabbed and shot.
A court official said no attorneys were listed for Mosley and Myers.
Burke says Mosley, who's from Dayton, and Myers, who is homeless, allegedly took a safe and a gun from Back's home Tuesday. Burke says authorities found Back's body Wednesday in rural Preble County, north of Dayton.

TEGA CAY, S.C. Rebecca New came alive in the classroom.
She kept her students focused and knew her way around a computer.
She was a model teacher, one of her former professors said, and possessed a vigor educators dont typically find in newer teachers.
After earning her masters degree and landing a job at Gold Hill Elementary School, New found time to mentor a senior art education major at Winthrop University who was very good, very smart, very talented, but very quiet, said Laura Gardner, associate art professor at Winthrop.
We gave her the information, we gave her the support, Gardner said. We really had to hold her feet to the fire. Rebecca and I had to really work as a team on that.
That team was broken on Sunday when police say New fell off a Lake Wylie dock in Mecklenburg County and died after hitting a metal bar. She was 31.
Authorities said New was with friends on the dock at about 2:30 a.m. when she slipped. Police do not suspect foul play in her death but late Sunday said they were still investigating. Efforts to reach Charlotte-Mecklenburg police on Monday were unsuccessful.
On Monday, the Fort Mill School District remembered New as passionate, kind and a ray of light.
New taught art to students in kindergarten through fifth grade at Gold Hill for three years after a yearlong stint as an intern. In 2005, she graduated with a studio arts degree from Coastal Carolina University. She earned her masters degree from Winthrop in 2009.
She always smiled, said Fort Mill, S.C., schools spokeswoman Kelly McKinney. She was a wonderful person. She knew how to make a difference in a student or co-workers day a difference every, single day.
She was one of the most kindest and dedicated teachers, McKinney added. She was very much a leader and voluntarily taught an arts class after classes dismissed.
During Gold Hills annual spring showcase, New made sure each of her 850 students had a piece of artwork to display, McKinney said.
Within the last several years, News students participated in the Arts Council of York Countys banner project, whereby students are given materials to design banners that hang on the city of Tega Cays lampposts, said Melanie Cooper, arts council spokeswoman.
The best of the best are chosen to be turned in to the lamppost banners, Cooper said.
This year, four of News students designed banners that are now waving in the city, she said.
She was a ray of light you just wanted to be around her; she just gave off that aura, McKinney said.
At Winthrop, where New spent two years as a graduate student, she was known as a deep and reflective thinker, said Jonatha Vare, chair of curriculum and pedagogy at the universitys education department.
Vare acted as News adviser and called her a conscientious student who was intelligent and creative.
She came with a lot of experience, Gardner said.
New taught at a preschool before she started graduate studies in Rock Hill. Where other students might have trouble learning how to function in the classroom, New was a natural, Gardner said. For her, it was a piece of cake.
She was an exemplary teacher, said Seymour Simmons, a Winthrop art professor who taught New and observed her student-teaching at Gold Hill. She came alive in the classroom. She was mature. I think she overcame some challenges in her life; I dont know what they were but he said she came out the other side and was fantastic.
Gardner and Vare both said News road to her degree wasnt always smooth.
To her credit, she took a little time off from school, but she came back and she did it, Gardner said.
She earned her masters in teaching secondary and K-12 education and told Gardner that she wanted to mentor students who wanted to teach art.
Gardner and Simmons said they often took students to observe New as she taught her classes at Gold Hill.
In an arts classroom, teachers are always moving around, putting things away, washing hands, Gardner said. With little kids, you have to teach them how to move in a group.
New did all that, Gardner said, with grace.
This summer has been rough for schools in York County.
A week ago, Heather Dobbins, an English as a second language teacher at Rock Hills Richmond Drive Elementary School, drowned while water tubing on the Saluda River in Pickens County.
Last month, Maryanne Galway, a 17-year employee at the Fort Mill School District who had most recently worked as an attendance clerk at Orchard Park Elementary School, drowned off the coast of Sunset Beach. She and her husband became trapped by rip currents and struggled in the water. Another man who tried to rescue the Galways also died.
Gold Hill Elementary teachers return to work on Wednesday. Students will return to classes next week.
Fort Mill School Superintendent Chuck Epps said grief counselors will be available for students and teachers that may need that help.
Obviously, its a tragedy for the school district family, the community, he said.
The school district, McKinney said, is a close-knit family.
Gold Hills principal, Terry Brewer, on Monday notified parents and students about the incident. Students who want to make a card for New or her family can drop it off at the school district office, where it will be displayed and later given to her parents.
News parents and the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools have agreed to start a scholarship fund to help students pursuing an arts career, McKinney said.
Talks about the scholarship are still in early planning stages, she said.

The Nativity Story and Catholic Teaching

In blogs, discussion boards, and other fora, a range of criticisms and objections concerning

Other complaints are more problematic, resting on misrepresentations of the film or even of Catholic teaching.

The Nativity Story: St. Joseph Gets His Due

The Nativity Story
doesn't portray Joseph as a widower, it also doesn't depict Joseph and Mary's relationship as a typical first-century Jewish courtship. While the film doesn't take a stance one way or the other on the Catholic doctrine of Mary's perpetual virginity, it finds drama in the obstacles between Joseph and Mary, rather than turning their story, as some retellings have done, into a Hollywood romance.

Star Wars: An American Mythology

Constantine and Because of Winn-Dixie: Faith and Film in the Post-Passion Era
2005-02-18 05:10:52
might sound like the latest entry in Hollywood's string of violent costume dramas (
King Arthur
), but it's not actually about the Roman emperor who was the subject of such religious films as
Constantine and the Cross
. In this film, instead of a sign in the sky, the cross is a weapon in the ero's hands. Starring Keanu Reeves,
is a sort of a cross between
The Exorcist
with some
attitude thrown in, a violent R-rated action-thriller of the supernatural based on the DC/Vertigo comic book
, about a cynical demon-hunter antihero who's literally been to hell and back. Though he knows that what God expects is belief, self-sacrifice, and repentance, he is futilely trying to earn his way into God's good graces.

It's not just a buzzword, either. There's a special hand gesture that goes along with it. First you hold your hands up, palms outward, fingers spread apart. This where we are: no synergy. Then you clasp your hands into fists with the tips of the fingers of each hand inside the fist of the other hand, so that your hands make a sort of "S" shape. This is where we need to get to: synergy. Get it? (If you think this kind of thing doesn't really pass for deep thought in corporate convention halls and conference rooms, you don't know corporate America.)

That only means that Scrooge and Dickens represented a higher and more historic Christianity" ("Christmas Books").

The Passion of the Christ - Understanding the Catholic Meaning
2004-11-15 04:44:34
In its most extreme form, the charge of morbidity has been laid at the feet of the Christian faith itself. Christianity's harshest critics denounce it as "a religion of death." Clearly, at some point objections of this sort must be regarded as a case in point of what the scriptures call the "scandal" of the cross. It is the cross itself, the very suffering and dying of God made man, and the way Christians respond to this event in their faith and devotion, that is behind much (though again not all) of the religious and anti-religious controversy over the brutality of this particular film.
