COBOL-IT joins the Bull LiberTP ecosystem reducing costs for legacy transaction systems running on UNIX
COBOL-IT and Bull announce the availability of the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite Enterprise Edition with the Bull LiberTP transactional environment.
The COBOL-IT Compiler Suite is a complete environment consisting of a development environment and a COBOL compiler. With the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite, the costs associated with developing and maintaining transactional COBOL applications are greatly reduced.
Bull LiberTP allows enterprises to reduce the costs and risks associated with moving transactional applications from proprietary environment such as Oracle Tuxedo to more open and cost-effective environments. Savings achieved in the move to Open environments can be applied to new development projects aimed at the modernization of the applications.
With the integration of the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite, LiberTP brings customers a high performance COBOL compiler that they can use to modernize their legacy system. At the same time, COBOL-IT provides enterprises with a considerably lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for their legacy application.
Building on its long-standing expertise, Bull has developed LiberTP, a transactional system that provides high levels of performance and security. The LiberTP solution ensures that enterprises will be able to extend the lives of their strategic, mission-critical applications, while taking advantage of new technologies.
Legacy applications can continue to benefit from the dependability of transactional environments, while leveraging technologies such as virtualized environments, mobile terminals, SOA architectures and Cloud Computing.
"With the integration of the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite, LiberTP adds to its transactional environment an enterprise-class Open Source compiler. Enterprises benefit from greater solutions to leverage the modernization of their application infrastructure, and to drastically reduce the recurring costs." said S�bastien Brachet, Sales Director of Bull LiberTP.
"What sets COBOL-IT Compiler Suite apart from other Open Source solutions from the COBOL world is its highly professional and structured organization, focused around solutions that have been fully validated and certified by the biggest players in the market," added St�phane Croce, CEO of COBOL-IT."The Enterprise version of COBOL-IT is perfectly suited to Bull's LiberTP solution as it combines low cost, performance, robustness and interoperability to deliver the best combination of features with the only truly professional Open Source compiler on the market."
The COBOL-IT Compiler Suite is available with the Bull LiberTP environment starting in October, 2012.
COBOL-IT is the first company offering a professional Open Source COBOL compiler dedicated to large companies and a wide range of associated services. The Company, based in Paris, also has offices in Brussels, Rome, London and San Diego. COBOL-IT is represented abroad by a network of distributors and technical hubs in Europe, the United States & Canada, and Latin America.

To forgive is to break down the walls of hostility that separate us, and to bring each other out of the anguish of loneliness, fear, and chaos into communion and oneness. This communion is born from mutual trust and acceptance, and the freedom to be ourselves in our uniqueness and beauty, the freedom to exercise our gifts. We are no longer contained and held back by fear, prejudices, or the need to prove ourselves.
Jean Vanier, Becoming Human


text: Edelbrock Pro Nostalgia John Gifford, of Naples, Florida, had the rare opportunity of being a one man show in Edelbrock Pro Nostalgia competition at No Problem Raceway Park. The only racer to make the long haul to Louisiana, Gifford did the class proud as he ran his pristine "Elias & Gifford" SS/AA '68 Barracuda hard and put on a great show for the fans jamming the stands, complete with photogenic wheels-up launches. He laid down a pass of 9.216 to officially qualify the car, and then later staged a one-car final, running out the back door at 9.256, 144.57 to earn his trophy. Nitrous Express Nostalgia Pro Street In Louisiana, the popularity of Nitrous Express Nostalgia Pro Street was boosted even more as fans were treated to the sight of some serious race machinery making a surprise eight-mile cruise over the road course at No problem Raceway Park. In keeping with the original Pro Street concept, class rules allow for random cruises to be staged in order to prove the "streetability" of the cars. Other than a few minor problems, all cars completed the run, and got down to the business of slugging it out for the title. Among several new and updated cars in the Nostalgia Pro Street pits was the sleek orange 2002 Camaro of White Lake, Michigan's Rob Golobo, which had one of the most successful competitive debuts in NMCA history. The recently completed car showed no signs of the "new car blues" that so often plague others of its type. After a couple of cautious shakedown passes down the quarter-mile, Golobo proceeded to dominate qualifying, finishing at the top of the list by virtue of a pass of 7.563, 166.10. In the first round of eliminations on Sunday, it was Golobo facing off against the '79 Camaro of Louisiana's own Mike Hill, of Prairieville. In spite of being left at the line, .113 to .017, Golobo took the win light with a mark of 7.793, 151.78 to Hill's off-pace 11.268, 101.46. Another of the regulars back on the tour for the first time in 2003 was Canadian Ellen Pavao, who made the long trip from Toronto with her distinctive pink trimmed '67 Camaro. After a marathon rewiring session in the pits on Saturday night, Pavao, who qualified No. 5 with an 8.305, 170.45, lined up against the '69 Ford Torino of No. 2 qualifier Mike Foulk, of Plainfield, Illinois. Foulk grabbed a .033 to .147 advantage off the line, and went on to win, 7.774, 173.07 to 7.972, 176.93. The third pair featured the mean green '66 Chevelle of Bruce Polous, of Palatine, Illinois and another Louisiana car, this one the '78 Camaro of Baton Rouge racer David Beeson. Polous got a free pass to the semifinals when Beeson lit the dreaded red bulb. In the next round, Golobo got the bye into the final while Polous did his best to survive the round despite an obviously ailing powerplant. Foulk didn't cut him a bit of slack, however, and nailed a brilliant .008 light to take the victory, 7.751,173.32 to 8.738, 126.44. Unfortunately, Foulk's magic touch at the tree abandoned him in the final, as his -.002 foul made Golobo's big weekend complete. He put an exclamation point on the experience by running through at 7.586, 193.84. Ramchargers Super Street In the highly competitive and entertaining Ramchargers Super Street class, five top drivers put on a great show for the southern fans. In the preliminary sessions, Brooksville, Indiana's Doug Smith paced his '96 Olds Achieva to the top qualifying spot on the strength of a 7.568, 188.54 blast. Just behind him was street legal legend Nick Scavo, of Elk Grove, Illinois, who ran his immaculate turbocharged '69 Camaro to a mark of 7.627, 187.68. During Sunday's elimination rounds, Scavo faced off against the '97 Dodge Avenger of Indianapolis-based Bill May in one of the best matches of the day. Leaving the line together, Scavo prevailed at the end of the track, 8.505, 182.33 to 8.808, 175.50 to move on. With Doug Smith earning the bye, thanks to his top qualifier status, Jimmy Blackmon, of Rockmart, Georgia, rolled his '92 Trans Am to the line to duel with the '93 Pontiac piloted by Ed Grisez of Oberlin, Ohio. Blackmon overcame a slight holeshot applied by Grisez and motored past for the win, 7.840, 183.94 to 8.585, 149.31. In the semifinals, it was Scavo with the single while Blackmon took out a red-lighting Smith to set up an exciting final round shootout. At the green, Blackmon was .030 quicker off the line, and he held off a rapidly closing Scavo to cross the stripe first and claim the title, 7.907, 182.90 to 8.000, 175.98. Drive Train Specialist Super Modified The Drive Train Specialist Super Modified trophy was another hard-won piece of hardware at No Problem Raceway Park, with an international group of drivers contending for top honors. Leading the qualifying sessions on Saturday was well-traveled Canadian competitor Emidio Catalano and his dedicated crew. Catalano's high-powered '68 Camaro was the quickest in the preliminaries, posting a best of 7.785, 178.73 to lead the rest of the pack into Sunday's money rounds. Thanks to his qualifying performance, he earned the bye into the second round. Among those having to fight their way into the semifinals, defending champion Jim Huber, of St. Leon, Indiana, put his 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup up against the '79 Trans Am of Washington, Illinois-based Keith McCoy. McCoy cut an unearthly .001 light, but Huber had more than enough power under the hood, and his 7.851, 174.98 easily handled McCoy's 8.442, 156.61. In an all-Illinois, all-Camaro match-up, Johnny Baio staged his '69 model up against the '68 of Jim Roggling, and moved on when Roggling left too early. In the second round, it was Baio with the complimentary ticket to the final, leaving Huber and Catalano to go toe-to-toe for the chance to meet him at the big dance. Both obviously wanted to be there in the worst way, based on the great side-by-side battle they waged. At the stripe, Huber's 7.808, 176.12 just outpaced Catalano's game 7.967, 178.00 effort. In the final, Baio redlit his chances away with a -.335 foul, only to have Huber get out of shape and lift for a coasting 16.698, 71.50 victory. Corteco Limited Street Lebanon, Ohio's Phil Hines was on his game in Belle Rose, qualifying for Corteco Limited Street in the No. 1 spot again, just as he did at every NMCA race held in the U.S. in 2002. Hines' '86 Mustang accomplished the feat this time around on the strength of a solid 8.249, 166.54 pass. On Sunday, Hines, who gained a bye into the semifinals, watched as a tough group of competitors went into the first round of what would turn out to be a "foul-fest" before the day was over. Bartlett, Illinois-based Bob Curran slashed the tree to the tune of .009 behind the wheel of his '96 Corvette, taking out the '84 Camaro of Melbourne, Florida's Frank Mewshaw, 8.983, 151.12 to 9.171, 166.03, in what would be the only clean race of the round. Tony Orts, of Oswego, Illinois, advanced when Mandeville, Louisiana's Gary Turner's '72 Olds tripped the beam too early. In the third pairing, Todd Mayer, of Pasadena, Texas, got the freebie when opponent Cuy Richardson edged his '86 Mustang too close to the ragged edge and also fouled out. In the semis, Mayer returned his gift from the previous round when his '92 Camaro went red, followed by Curran's "Vette which did the same. In the final, it was Orts in his '68 Firebird against the Mustang of Hines, and with no red lights in sight, Hines strapped a stiff .047 to .096 holeshot on Orts, and run it through for the victory, 8.315, 166.01 to 10.468, 97.42. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

Sales, Customer Service, and Marketing Top Technology Investment Priority List
Posted by William Band on April 29, 2013
A few weeks ago, I shared results from Forrester's Forrsights Software Survey Q4 2012, spotlighting the fact that strengthening customer relationships and driving revenue growth are the top prioritiesof senior business leaders today. This is playing out in the technology market where the leaders of key customer-facing functions have become driving forces behind technology spending.
In our survey of 2200 software decision-makers, the number one ranked department for investment was Sales (42%). Customer service was tied for the second most important priority (36%), followed by Field Service (27%), and Marketing (25%).
Investment priorities for mobile technologies show a similar pattern. The Sales department tops the list in priority 48%. The next most important priority departments for mobile investment are Field Service (42%), Customer Service (34%), and Marketing (34%).
I will be discussing these trends, and others at, our upcoming Enterprise Architecture Forum: ArchitectingBusiness Outcomesin Washington DC, May 6- 7. We will host subsequent Forum for Enterprise Architecture Professionals in London, June 10- 11. See you there.
Thin line.
I think there is a thin line between customer service, sales, and marketing. But it all starts with good customer service. If you provide good customer service, you are most likely to make loyal customers who will net-promote your brand to their friends and family. This to me, sounds like sales and marketing already.

The dems are about to get their cages rattled real good over Benghazi because a cover up can be traced to the White House.And Trey Gowdy is just the person to lead the charge.Its probably lights out for Hilary at this point though you would never guess that from all the pretense on the left that all is well.

I have only one reservation re Trey Gowdy leading the investigation; it makes him unavailable to lead the IRS investigation when it finally happens.

The Republicans should yield 100% of their time to Trey Gowdy for the questioning. That would cause some serious anal puckering from the Democrats. Don´t send in a crew of politicians to do a prosecutor´s job.

Is this one of the reasons Boehner has refused up until now to call for a Select Committee. Some RINOS along with Dems/Libs have dirty fingernails, too! The sending of arms to jidhadist rebels in Syria."John McCain even answered a reporter about his feelings of those who were fighting for the Opposition. He called them his heroes. And let´s not forget that McCain was very present in Libya. He visited there in the Spring of 2011. As a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain had access to privileged and confidential intelligence information. The information that the rebels were terrorists was cast aside. Obama was required to share this intelligence with what is known as the "Gang of Eight" which includes McCain, Feinstein, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi and Reid. They knew about Zero Footprint.´In addition to those in the WH getting jittery, there will be others as well AND this should come out to the public.

Imagine if President Palin had been in the White House that night. Do you think anyone would have been told to ´stand down´? Do you think heads wouldn´t have rolled if our assets were not positioned and ready.Never mind. If there had been a President Palin, Benghazi would not have occurred, because Al Qaeda would actually have been on the run!

This book is a radical exploration of the mystical teachings in the Gospel of John. It helps the reader to experience these spiritual truths for themselves, and go beyond the everyday mind which is dominated by the ego and realize their eternal Being, which Johns Gospel calls Logos. By approaching the teachings in a meditative state, the symbolism contained within the Greek text opens out and comes alive in the present moment. The Gospel is not a historical document; it speaks directly to each person now and the states of consciousness represented in the stories are accessible now. The book contains guided meditations to help bring this to life for the reader. This awakening concerns our relationship with the whole of life. Spiritual consciousness means that we are aware of the sacredness of our connections to each other as fellow human beings, and to the creatures of the natural world. Christ and the Logos contain both masculine and feminine in balance; at this critical time, our well-being and that of our fellow creatures is dependent on this realization.
More books by Stephen Pope
This is a serious text on a serious subject and as such it is not light reading but you don't have to be a Kabbalist to appreciate this really fascinating and enlightening book. Nor do you need to be particularly religious. All you really need is to want to understand more about the truth of existence. So often when I've looked at the Bible and struggled to put meaning to the stories, I've wished I had a teacher who could help me, using language I was familiar with. This book does just that and more. It goes far beyond explanations, allowing you, through the guided meditations to actually experience the teachings of the Gospel of John in a direct and personal way. It does this within the framework of the Kabbalah and The Tree of Life, showing you in an accessible way, how the two are intertwined. It truly brought the teachings to life for me and that is far more than I had hoped for when I began reading. There is so much information in this for anyone wanting answers and the stories, when explained, contain so much wisdom. It really is teaching at its very best.

These Passion Beach poems are examples of Beach poems about Passion. These are the best examples of Passion Beach poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
While you sleep I tell you all of the things I keep inside throughout day.
Now that you can hear but not listen I find them much easier to say.
My hopes, my dreams, my fears, and everything in between
Your subconscious hears so keen, or so it seems.
My tongue is soft; I speak so sweetly
Knowing your reaction will never greet me.
Tonight will be different in what I want you to know.
It has everything to do with what I can't help but show.
I hold no claim to any religion but you've given me a place for my faith.
Somewhere it will never stale or lose its lavish taste.
You've shown me something I can see, touch, and feel,
And so before it I choose to kneel.
I know I don't say it but I miss you every day.
Sitting, thinking of the perfect words to be my choice,
Yet when you call I can't find any of the right words to say.
I'm just happy to finally hear your voice.
Even just a moment is enough to sooth my heavy heart;
Fearing the ends of conversations knowing we'll have to part.
I'll never be too far from you, always within arm's reach,
And in your days of darkness I'll be the light that you will seek.
I'll never let you leave too far from me, I'll stay close behind you in this world;
Secretly protecting what is mine, you will always be my girl.
I only want the best for you so the best of me I will employ.
Faithfully yours, I will always be your boy.
I close my eyes and kiss your soft sweet lips
And see the very best of you in loving bliss.
I see past the physical which makes you attractive
And focus on the things I can't see in which I'm attracted.
Your thoughts I'd love to hear them all.
Of the things you speak disinterest never makes its call.
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give, to love unconditionally.
Yes our day will come, I know someday we'll be as one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give… to love unconditionally.
A beach captivating deprived eyes,
Fascination, grandiose haven in July,
Keeping lovely mountains nearby,
Of Pacific, quixotic, refulgent sunset/sunrise.
Tarry! Unwind! Vast waves eXtrudes Yuletide-like Zephyr.
Written: Aug. 16, 2012
This is a beautiful beach in Tamurong, Candon, I.S. It is located near my place or compound just a walking distance from my house. Its name was officially given by the people living in that area who are mostly relatives. The word "namagyan" means "relatives." Many visitors are going to this place and enjoy the nature, their moments and most especially the whole day of Sabado De Gloria (Black Saturday) and ecumenical services are held on this beautiful beach on the dawn/sunrise of Easter Sunday! It's a very fantastic place to visit! Come and see!
Some tomorrow soon, I shall walk again,
though not as I walked in days past.
To reach that doorway - my foremost campaign
and thus I'll keep walking my last.
Therapy is pain; it's a stormy fight
taking great effort in this cast.
The doctor reports my future looks bright,
I'll walk again, my grit steadfast.
The memory of the accident still clear.
Walking alone I had just passed
the corner turn that leads back from the pier.
dune buggies race the storm too fast
in sand too deep, too wet for certainty
lightning and collision contrast
In time, I'll grasp life as an amputee.
I'll walk alone, my grit steadfast.
New normal I tackle with amnesty,
I cannot cast blame nor lambast.
For such is pathetic activity
generating storms far more vast
than one which caused my disability.
My good broken leg is the mast
where my banner flies with tenacity.
I'll walk at peace, my grit steadfast.
The Beach of Promises
Fingers entwined, barely touching,
turquoise waters teasing your dancing toes,
strolling along that serene deserted beach,
our promised dreams within aching reach.
Hands clasped, holding on,
sea-breezes tickling the nape of your neck,
walking together, alone, vowing to never breach,
the dreams dreamed on that faraway velvet beach.
Hands in my pockets, alone,
traces of you linger, teasing,
lost in my scribbles, your memory fading out of reach,
my thoughts ablaze, now and then,
catching a whiff of your fragrance,
wafting through alleyways of nostalgia,
your hand in mine on our pristine beach.
Wave a sea softened
and a pain and a tenderness
throw dreams in fascination
of the blue.
And let shave the waves of
Your eternity , oh, weigh
above me,
oh,weigh a coast of years.
Carry far in azure, spiral
with bulging little abdomens,
flutter with mahagony pinions
and already in vain expect you
to stop the scales harbours
with hot flames for You are
Far away, far away ,far away,
stretched string,
heart and frank await the
hymn of June.
All sea sisters are dressed in
mother-of-pearl garment
embroidered of kiss of
In the morning hunts them
fishermen and revive with
breath of their man's hands.
In the evening girls wash
their black tunics,
in their blue hearts,
their feet white ,who cadge
heavy chains.
The night is squeezed enigma
and ugly,
predatory like a bat pecking
of scarlet fig.
Sea sisters, sea sisters,
remember His steps
which go through you noiselessly,
and ou swing like
bloody wine-
hold in His fingers Herod,
Pilate washes his hands,
in Yours heirs
and they bristled like winter
icicles bristles of innoncent blood .
There at Golgotha
hearing terrible cry,
blood gushes like
wounded river disappear
like Easter roses,
in weeds of flushed
preditory crowd,
to open way of
Who is He?
Do you heard
His name ?
He is Messiah,
God's anoited
Jesus Christ.
Like little sheeps,
clouds of candy floss,
they welcome festivaly.
Barefooted are feet
of lovely swarthy steps
of the sun, came to bow,
before You , Creator.
The sea throws his
magnificent silver flesh,
blue like heavently lace,
to swallow all stars
only Bethlehem's
stays inextinguishable,
pretty like uncreated
like an apple of not
born girl.

Form: rhyming couplets
Sandy tracks, still and dormant, lie await for us,
Virgin sands of Malvan beach, its breeze my body salty caress.
Through the grooves of coconut palms swaying tall,
We trudge to the sandy shores backpack and all.
Green thatched leaves. Crowns of glory, shade it extorts,
Swinging hammock to nest me in my denim blues shorts.
A strong breeze blows saline pelagic scented odor across,
Blue waves melt to foam, kiss shores, hued shells emboss.
Lonely eagle soar virgin blue skies,
More of the brood join in and glide past fishing boats floating by.
A murder of crows feast on our eaten table,
As in the warm waters we dip, the crows our food they garble.
The waves sound gushing rhapsody repeat,
Us jovious beach bums in water enjoy the sunny heat.
Dry fishing boats on logs they are on the sands to park,
Lie along akin, like silent serpents, waiting for dusk to embark.
Sea gulls they glide over silver wavy waters,
Food seeking dives perform, for them that's what matters.
A pack of dogs they frolic with glee,
As the fisher folk heave coir ropes dogs from there flee.
Golden sunlight darts out of stagnant clouds formless,
Group of lads, beach volley ball they play tireless
As I sit ten meters away from wet sandy shores,
Melody erupts as waves repeat encore.
I wake on the sand
Right near the beach
You have yet to awake
Far out of reach
And Daybreak has arrived
A beauty unlike any other
Comparable only to us, girl
And how we love each other
So I gaze up alone
Marveling up at the sky
The warmth of the sun
Drying my eyes
I'm reflecting on us
Oh how each other we trust
I'm just so happy we're together
And I think to myself,
Just as this sun, we'll last forever
Then returning to be with you
I lay again now
Place my hand gently
On your warm tender shoulder
While I think of our lives today, love
And how they'll be when we're older...
I know there'd be no other way
So "I Love You" I make sure I say
To you, each and everyday
I glimpse the tidal waves, rise high,
Sweaty brows drip, a dry.
surf boarders and dipper are so many,
dolphin rides touts coerce you for just a few penny.
red vested lifeguards always on their toes,
A breath of relief, the tippling tourists, their number grows.
ripples, sounds a melody repeat,
artisan, tests his percussion cask to a beat.
A robe draped lass, captures her lover,
sun, its rays darkens the picture ,above it hover.
Reshoots she, from another angle,
smiling lover's flushed face she manages to wrangle.
hi-tide shack perched a high,
view is great and the breeze zips by.
distant travelers they bathe in the sun,
Some on the sand , others swelter drip their as they run.
Balding head darts, reflects its gleam,
the scorching sun and the skin cream.
The peddling tribal woman with an orange drape,
family cuddling a little one, the sun to escape.
young woman, alone she walks,
stray young man I think he stalks.
tattoo on his arm seem so strong,
They are lovers, I know I am wrong.
The flower powered oldie, walks with his guitar strung back,
A bag in his hand &stuff he puts aside on the beach rack.
a hulk walks by, in nickered blacks,
To the percussion maker's shack can see his sandy tracks.
bikini clad lady, dart towards a fella,
blueness of her robe shades her name tattooed, Isabella.
chat they seem to have and away he's gone,
kicks some sand and wades back to her beach chair all alone.
Past noon and ebbing are the tides,
dippers galore and can see them lying in the watery sides.
eagle sweeps and glides a close,
chasing birds are but a murder of black crows.
tall blond man ducks in the water he ambles,
With a bulging tummy ,it rumbles.
thatched roof stays the sunlight on me,
blue clothed ceiling textures the sky and the sea.
dark Indian lass, aglow on her face,
heat rays redden her skin ablaze.
Hurriedly she moves to the thatched shack.
Her lover here rubs lotion on to her back.
Cattle herds , see them stroll the sandy water,
An English couple walks away from the boat with their daughter.
Beneath the beach umbrella a man cleans his shades,
The strong breeze its trapped around him under the glades.
An hour has gone by and my throat is all dry,
Sparkling water I gulp down the bottle with the blink of an eye.
Content is my heart for this passionate poem I create,
Good or bad , you can choose to debate.
My Wishes are Simple
My wishes are simple,
my desires few,
to gaze upon an ocean,
and marvel at a solitary drop of dew.
My wishes are simple,
my dreams not too grand,
to feel the waves teasing my tired feet,
with no footprints left in the cool, wet sand.
My wishes are simple,
my thoughts serenely gentle, calm,
my heart resting beneath a swaying palm,
healing my being, caressed by nature's soothing balm.
Fall in love with the Philippines...
Pearl of the orient seas..
Known with its lustrous green forests..
Famous of it's soft to white beaches..
Fall in love with the Philippines..
Hospitable and respectable persons..
Lots olf activities to choose from..
Mountain climbing, camping, diving, surfing..
Choose, try and actively explore...
Fall in love with the Philippines..
Seemingly poor yet so rich in history..
All around you will see white to bronze colored Pinoys..
Nurtured by values and of traditions...
Fall in love with the Philippines..

The wait for a new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that began on Monday morning seems to only have lasted until Wednesday night.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported on Twitter that the Buccaneers are hiring former Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith to the same position, pending the final details of a contract.
The Bucs are hiring Lovie Smith to be their new head coach, two sides are finalizing the contract tonight
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 2, 2014
Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times also confirmed the news locally:
Confirmed to the Tampa Bay Times. Bucs finalizing a contract with Lovie Smith to become their next head coach. First reported by @JayGlazer
— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 2, 2014
Smith is certainly a fan favorite in Tampa Bay, as his ties to the team during the Tony Dungy era bring back memories of a competitive team every season. Lovie Smith continued the tradition of being competitive during his time in St. Louis with the Rams, and also in Chicago, where he was fired despite a winning record of 81-63 over his time at Soldier Field.
Smith also led the Bears to a Super Bowl in only his third season in charge, something the Glazers will hope he can duplicate in Tampa Bay.
Smith figures to bring former Cal coach Jeff Tedford on as offensive coordinator, along with former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier as a defensive coordinator. Rod Marinelli also figures to be a part of the staff.
Smith brings a wealth of NFL experience and an expertise on defense, although it remains to be seen how he'll choose to run a defense set up for Greg Schiano's aggressive style.
Do you think the Buccaneers made the right call in hiring Lovie Smith? Do you believe he is the right coach to turn the Buccaneers into contenders?
Leave a comment below and let us know.

HULK SMASH!!!The Incredible Hulk is a 1996-97 animated series based on the comic book series of the same name. It's the second Hulk animated series, following one in the 1980s. Compared to most Hulk adaptations, it is considered Darker and Edgier for an animated series for kids (and overall Marvel universe animated continuity that it belongs to). The series stars Neal Mc Donough as Bruce Banner and features Lou Ferrigno, the Hulk actor from The Incredible Hulk live action series, as a speaking role.
The show provides the examples of:

The rising interest in vehicles powered by electricity — either part-time, as in hybrids like the Toyota Prius, or in battery-only cars like the Tesla Roadster — has increased the pressure to develop more efficient devices to store the power. Progress has been steady, but huge breakthroughs have not emerged from the research labs.
The baby-step pace is prompting automakers to move cautiously with their production plans. Toyota, which had been expected to use lithium-ion batteries in the next-generation Prius, announced that the car, which goes on sale next spring, will stick with proven nickel-metal hydride chemistry.
Toyota's engineers were not ready to adopt the compact high-energy, lithium-ion batteries in a mass-production vehicle, opting to run them in test fleets first. Though the company is optimistic about the potential of lithium batteries, challenges in their durability and operating temperature ranges remain.
While General Motors, Mitsubishi and Nissan have announced plans to employ such batteries in the future, and each has a battery manufacturer as a partner, Honda has set off in a different direction. Last March, Honda's president, Takeo Fukui, told Automotive News that "lithium-ion batteries are still not usable from our perspective." Read more…

BOSTON (CBS) – On any given day, there are hundreds of kids in the hospital battling some disease. One boy is looking to make a difference.
Nine-year-old Zachary Manuel from Georgetown isn't even sick but he wanted to help those kids.
He saw an ad for some play pillows, and he thought those would brighten the day for a kid in the hospital.
He then asked his parents if he could use his savings account money to buy some.
His idea grew into a free throw fundraiser and a bake sale. There, he raised in excess of $3,000.
On Friday, his dad will deliver 171 of those pillows to Children's Hospital in Boston.

Intel joins troll-blocking club
Intel is diving into a patent pool in hopes of avoiding future troll attacks. The chip maker has signed on with RPX, a patent aggregation startup whose members pay steep annual fees to help shield themselves from royalty demands and litigation costs of patent trolls. Palm and four small software security firms also signed on to …
So the non creating company buys up patents from other non creating companies...
This is to stop non creating companies charging licence fees to those who do make stuff...
Then they charge fees so that they don't have to pay fees to other companies, I'm reading this right yes?
re: erm..
You beat me to it (by several hours).
"I, the supertroll(tm) shall protect you all from these dirty trolls!"
Members pay annual fees ranging from $35,000 to $4.9m,
"Ok, buddy, it's simple, you want to use this patent, you pay us for protection and you don't get sued. Capice...?
So either get screwed by a Troll, or get screwed by a different Troll.
(Shrug) At least we have a choice now.
"Nice Army base you've got 'ere, Colonel...
...shame if anything were to 'appen to it...
...we can guarantee that not a single armored division will get done over for five hundred quid!"
" Intellectual Ventures"
"Intellectual Vultures" maybe more appropriate?
But then I suppose no side in this, including the, possibly patent infringing, manufacturers, look good. In fact at first glance it seems that the only person to lose in this deal is the inventor of the patent itself.
Ermm .... II
What happens when a non-member breaches one of the patents ?
This seems like an attempt to monopolize a shoddy business practise rather than preventing it.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
"The firm acquires patents and provides the rights to its clients.". For money.
So it's a patent troll with a slightly different business model then? Presumably anyone not stumping up the protection moolah will be pushed to tell the difference between RPX and an old skool patent troll though.
Patent Troll is Patented.
Am I the only one who thinks this is really a private club for patent trolls?
Erm 3
What happens if the troll doesn't want to sell up?

Don't miss out on today's Washington Nationals news. Check out our District Daily.
LaRoche, Rendon need help in All-Star voting
Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper hasn't played a game since April 25 because of a left thumb injury, but he is still getting respect from fans, who would like to see him in the All-Star Game in Minnesota in July. As of Monday evening, Harper had received 435,075 votes, which is 14th among NL outfielders.
First baseman Adam LaRoche and third baseman Anthony Rendon deserve votes. LaRoche is arguably the Nationals' best hitter, leading the team in batting average (.306) and on-base percentage (.412). He's also one of the best defensive first basemen in the game.
Entering his first full season in the big leagues, Rendon is among the team leaders in home runs, RBIs and runs scored. Read full article here.
Zimmermann tabbed as NL Player of Week
Arguably the most dominant performance by a starting pitcher in Nationals history has earned Jordan Zimmermann the honor of National League Player of the Week.
The right-hander's week was highlighted by a spectacular outing on Sunday against the Padres, as Zimmermann took a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with a two-hit shutout that featured 12 strikeouts and zero walks. According to Bill James' game score, a metric used to measure pitching performances, Zimmermann's score of 95 ranked as the best in Nationals history (2005-present).
Zimmermann became the second starter in Nationals history to strike out at least 12 without walking a batter in a complete game (John Patterson on Aug. 4, 2005), and he threw 83 of his 114 pitches for strikes. Zimmermann, Patterson and Stephen Strasburg are the only three pitchers in franchise history to strike out 12 or more batters in a game. Read full article here.
Washington mayor tosses first pitch for Grays game
WASHINGTON, DC — Washington, D.C., Mayor Vincent C. Gray threw out the first pitch before the D.C. Grays and the Baltimore Redbirds squared off in Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League action Monday night at the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy.
The Academy, which cost $18 million to build, includes three playing fields — Little League baseball, full-size baseball and softball — indoor batting cages, seven classrooms, a teaching kitchen and community event space. It officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 29 before the Nationals took batting practice.
The facility is located on a nine-acre plot in Fort Dupont Park and provides after-school and summer programs for boys and girls in the city's 7th and 8th Wards, which are collectively home to some of the nation's worst child poverty, unemployment and high school graduation rates.

Sarbanes-Oxley made IPOs difficult, but Wall Street has risen to the occasion by creating "secondary markets": just like a normal stock market, but trading pre-IPO shares held by private investors and early employees. BusinessWeek reports:
The dynamics of wealth creation in Silicon Valley have fundamentally changed. Transforming private-company stock into cash and generating potentially massive wealth—even if you briefly worked at a startup that currently makes little money—is a click away on such sites as SecondMarket and its West Coast rival SharesPost, as well as via an organized network of buyers and sellers that has sprouted up almost overnight. Whether this new liquidity is healthy for startups, good for Silicon Valley, and beneficial for the U.S. economy overall are other questions.
So we have an unregulated market trading securities that are definitionally hard to value. Twitter's 2010 revenue was estimated around [$45M][2]; they're still funded chiefly by VC money.
Accredited investors—-those worth more than $1 million and with incomes north of $200,000 a year-—have recently bid on blocks of shares in Twitter at [an implied valuation of] more than $7.3 billion.
I'm sure many of you were worried, as I was, that early-stage Silicon Valley executives and engineers could no longer become millionaires by shoveling other people's money into a big firepit as fast as possible. Good news, everyone!
…my little-birdie-informed understanding is that
consolidated.dbacts as a cache for location data, and that historical data should be getting culled but isn't, either due to a bug or, more likely, an oversight. I.e. someone wrote the code to cache location data but never wrote code to cull non-recent entries from the cache, so that a database that's meant to serve as a cache of your recent location data is instead a persistent log of your location history.
This sounds pretty likely. I've examined this file from my own iPhone and noticed a couple things which seem a little underreported to me. First, it looks a lot like what's being collected isn't your location—it's records of when and where cell towers were "seen" by the iPhone. A comment to my post yesterday pointed out that even if the database file doesn't contain device-specific data, it could still identify you ("the owner of the phone lives where the phone spends most of its nights"). I agreed then, but now I don't think the
CellLocation table—which is the one everyone's squawking about—actually can tell you that. It can, though, put you in the right neighborhood. (As Andy Ihnatko put it, "While the logfile can't tell someone that you were at a specific house, it can obviously tell your boss that you went to the Cape on the day you called in sick.")
Second, while this has been mentioned in passing, it's worth noting that this isn't the only table in
consolidated.db. It's also recording every WiFi network that you see by timestamp, latitude, longitude, and MAC address—although this log, at least on my phone, seems to have much less historical information in it. There's also a "compass calibration" table and a fair number of other tables that, at least in my database, are entirely empty. All of the cell location tables are repeated with
Cdma prefixes, which is interesting if you want to fuel rumors about dual mode iPhones.
And, as it turns out, the database does contain device-specific data: the
TableInfo table contains your iPhone's serial number.
So the big Apple news going around right now is about the "recent" discovery of
consolidated.db, a database stored on the phone that seems to track the phone's location over time. From Christopher Vance:
Every time iAds or an app that uses Location Services pings the GPS service, a new record is created in either the CellLocation or WiFiLocation table respective of what type of network was being used. There's also a Timestamp column in each table for each record. In a recent test, I found over 8000 records of stored GPS data. By default, Location Services for all apps is enabled. Also, being enrolled in the iAds program is enabled by default. In fact, the only way to cancel your enrollment from the iAds program is to go to Apple's website.
I put "recent" in quotes because Vance's article is from September 2010. This has been a subject of discussion in digital forensic circles for a while.
Some people have rushed to condemn this as another sign of Draconian Apple Policy™—I find it wryly amusing that this was retweeted by a local Android-using friend who refers to iPhone uses as "fanboys" even while his Twitter avatar icon is based on the Android robot. And around the web, the typical suspects like ReadWriteWeb are doing the headless chicken dance.
Others have rolled their eyes. What's being recorded is what we were told was going to be sent to Apple anonymously in the iOS Terms of Service—the database records have nothing personally identifiable. If I handed you a dozen
consolidated.db files, you'd be able to plot the movements of the phones associated with each file, but you couldn't connect those files back to the phone.
Even so, the file doesn't seem programmatically necessary. Applications receive the location data that will be recorded in the most recent
consolidated.db update as an event once, when the location changes. There's no API call for "oops, I wasn't paying attention, give me the last 20 updates again, please." It's possible that for behind-the-scenes reasons the location event queue needs longer persistence, but it doesn't need to stick around when there are no applications running that are subscribing to it. And even in the most generous interpretation, there's no reason for the file to stick around between phone restarts.
What's grating about this reporting is, as usual, the emphasis being placed on the fact that it's an Apple product. The headlines are all variants of "Apple is recording your every move!" In fact, there's no indication that Apple has any way to access this data at all—the only way to get it is to have access to your iPhone or to your iPhone backups, and to know whose iPhone the file belongs to.
The forest that's being missed for the Apple trees here? Go back to the observation I made about where this has been discussed: digital forensic circles. I don't want to claim that
consolidated.db exists to aid forensics investigations, but it's digital manna from heaven for law enforcement (and hackers). Yet any phone you use stores information locally—and if it's a smartphone, that can be a lot of information, from your calendar to your browsing history. Call me a bleeding heart if you will, but the amount of "digital fingerprints" we leave has increased exponentially over the last two decades, and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. Search and seizure tools are keeping up with technology—but laws and regulations intended to keep searches and seizures reasonable are lagging far behind.
Oh, and incidentally? Android geolocation using GSM network:
We introduce a new forensic technique that allows to collect users' past locations on most current Android phones, within a few seconds. It becomes possible to tell where the user was at a given time, or where a phone call took place over the last few hours or days.
You're welcome.
The web has a bunch of stories about Cisco killing Flip, but something that's mentioned in passing in most of the stories, here from Cisco's press release:
As part of the company's comprehensive plan to align its operations, Cisco will […] integrate Cisco umi into the company's Business TelePresence product line and operate through an enterprise and service provider go-to-market model, consistent with existing business TelePresence efforts.
I've got to wonder what this actually means. The "ūmi" service, as Cisco styles it, is basically televideo conferencing for the living room, pitched at families. Think of, say, Apple's FaceTime, except you can't talk to mobile devices, you can only talk to other people who've ponied up $400 for Umi boxes and are paying $99 a year for the service. Puzzlingly, people haven't been beating down the doors for this service.
The curious thing about the realignment memo isn't that it mentions Umi, it's that it doesn't mention killing Umi, a product which PC Mag described charitably as "probably the grossest miscalculation in Cisco's history." (The charitable part was the "probably.") What does it mean to integrate it into "existing business TelePresence efforts?" Sure, we all know that if there's one thing that the videoconferencing market has been crying out for, it's expensive equipment with cutesy names, but even so.
In 2005, LiveJournal was bought by Six Apart, the Movable Type guys, as near as I can tell so they could pilfer through its ideas and try to launch a better version called Vox. LJ itself was then sold to SUP in 2008, a Russian media company—it turns out LJ was big in Russia and getting bigger. I wrote an article back then on my own LiveJournal in which I estimated that 30% of the extant LiveJournals were Russian.
LJ is an interesting beast—in some ways it almost seems like an illustration of the dangers of being too early to market. It was never taken seriously as a hosted blogging platform by the digiterati, being dismissed as a place for angsty teens. It is a place for angsty teens, but it's also been a place for a lot of SF/fantasy types—I've been amazed at how many professional authors journal there—and if we're honest, we have to admit it was doing "social networking" years before that became a buzzword. The LJ "friends list" is the first place many of us saw the social graph that defines Facebook and Twitter. And at least for me, it was that mechanism that kept me from moving to other blogging platforms for a long time; the attempts to replicate that with "trackbacks" and "pingbacks" never worked well (although Disqus may have finally cracked that nut), and up until Tumblr, none of the other hosted blogging platforms put much effort into the whole "follow/like" dynamic. (Other than Vox, of course, which despite being pretty successful on a technical level never got any traction.)
But LJ has kept growing in Russia; despite a fellow nitpicking with my numbers back in 2008—my fault, perhaps, for not explaining that the 30% figure I'd gotten came from SUP's press releases, not from the stats page he'd found that contradicted it—the Financial Times reports that over 50% of LJ's users are from Russian-speaking countries.
I bring this all up because LJ users have noticed LiveJournal misbehaving over the last week—apparently, that's because it was subject to a denial of service attack aimed at Russian bloggers which, since LJ's servers are still located in the US, took it out for everyone. Prominent LJ bloggers include president Dmitry Medvedev himself, along with several prominent Kremlin critics. This has led—as the FT article reported—to the curious spectacle of Medvedev calling for an investigation of the attacks on LJ. Even so, it's hard not to notice that the other sites that were targeted were anti-Kremlin.
There are a few things that fascinated me about this. One of them is just how important LJ is to online political discussion in Russia and other former Soviet states; there's no one site in the West that I can think of that's analogous. Nobody is going to target Twitter or Facebook in an effort to suppress what passes for political commentary there.
Another is SUP's deliberate choice to leave the servers in the United States so they're under our data protection laws. A lot of pundits here of both the professional and armchair variety toss around phrases like surveillance state and government takeover in a way which seems very cavalier to me. Russians understand what those really mean. For the most part, we don't.
