Happy 4th of July! I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend (if you happen to live in the U.S.)
Today we take a look at the first half of 2011 to see which Cloud players are gaining mind share. In addition to the "Top 110 Cloud Enablers Gaining Mind Share," I have included "The Leaderboard", 120 Up and Coming Cloud Innovators, Movers and Shakers.

Tombstone cookies
Updated On: Dec 16 2010 10:33:01 AM PST
These ghoulish goodies make great party tray decorations. For a fun presentation, stick them in a "graveyard" of chocolate frosting or pudding and invite the kids to scoop to their hearts' content.
2 ½ c. all-purpose flour
1 c. powdered sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 large egg, beaten
1 ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
Mix flour and sugar together well. Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Divide dough into two sections and wrap well in plastic wrap or put in zipper-lock plastic bag. Refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.
Put the kids to work making cookie cutters out of cardboard, or find the cutters at your local party store.
When the dough is chilled, roll each section to about 1/8-inch thickness and let the kids go to work with their cookie cutters. Older kids can even use plastic knives or pastry cutters to cut their shapes from the dough. If desired, use cookie stamps to put things like "RIP" on the tombstones. (You can make a cookie stamp out of a potato. Just cut in the desired stamp design.)
Bake on parchment-lined cookie sheets at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Cool on racks.

Toronto Police Services Board ends free background checks for city hires
The board says the $50-plus fees will be put toward speeding up checks on "vulnerable sector" employees, which currently take 6-8 weeks.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Toronto could be on the hook for more than $90,000 a year after the police board ended a longtime agreement to provide the city with free "vulnerable sector" screenings for new hires.
About 1,500 to 1,800 people hired by the city are required to get the in-depth background checks annually, and the force has been waiving the now $50-plus processing fee since 1999.
The board made the decision Thursday in the wake of intense criticism over how long it was taking the force to complete vulnerable-sector screenings , which are conducted for school boards, agencies, the city, other police forces and anyone else who is hiring employees that work with children, youth or vulnerable adults.
"What we're saying is, up until now, people who are applying for jobs and volunteer positions with the city or city agencies did not have to pay the fee that everybody else has to pay," said Toronto Police Services Board chair Alok Mukherjee. "As of now, they won't be treated any differently."
The board tried to pass a similar motion a couple of years ago, but Mukherjee says members backed down after a city manager said it would cost the city a significant sum.
"They were not prepared to take on any more cost at that time," Mukherjee said, so the board agreed to temporarily continue the exemption.
In January this year, the force had a backlog of 16,947 screenings. That number is now about 11,000, Deputy Police Chief Mark Saunders told the board Thursday. The service receives about 200 new applications each day.
Board members passed a motion to start charging the city in June, and required "that those funds be used to bolster the timeliness of conducting background checks." Mukherjee says he doesn't know how much it will save the service.
All screenings are done through the force's Police Reference Check Program , which has 21 civilian employees.
The city requires the checks for new hires who work in contact with children or vulnerable adults in departments such as parks and recreation services or long-term-care homes.
Up until 2012, some city employees could start jobs before the background checks were complete.
But that changed after it was discovered that Christopher Husbands, who was charged that year in the Eaton Centre shooting incident, had been working at the after-school recreation program at Stan Wadlow Clubhouse while out on bail and under house arrest awaiting trial for a sex-assault charge.
Now, the city makes a conditional offer of employment and waits until the reference check is complete, which takes, on average, six to eight weeks, says Brad Salavich, a senior policy consultant who works in the city's human resources division.
Returning city employees who have been screened previously aren't required to go through the process again.
The board also passed a motion asking Police Chief Bill Blair to investigate whether the force should create a two-tiered system, offering faster screenings for a higher fee.

Curley's family knew the truth - their son wasn't a P cook but an inventor who died, aged 25, when a pneumatic long-line launcher he was building exploded in March, 2011.
But the police wouldn't have a bar of it.
When Geoff Curley heard of his son's death, he flew back from Thailand where he worked in construction.
Detective Senior Sergeant Al Symonds told him the incident had been caused by his son manufacturing methamphetamine and that, legally, the police were able to make an example to deter others from doing the same thing.
"He was frothing at the mouth . . . he wasn't interested in the truth," Geoff Curley said.
"I asked what proof he had and he said 'listen mate, I've been doing this for 30 years I know what a P-lab is'."
Police released a statement to media a few days later linking Clint Curley to the offending.
"It is evident that Mr Curley was in the process of manufacturing an illicit drug when a chemical process went wrong resulting in the explosion that killed him," Symonds said. After Curley died, his mate, Keith Gallagher, who owned a one-bedroom unit and a shed in rural Glenbrook, was charged with permitting his premises to be used for drug offending.
The trial started last week, but on Friday defence lawyer Shane Cassidy brought an application before the judge to dismiss the charge and it took only minutes for the case to be thrown out and the jury discharged.
Key evidence came from a doctor who said the chemicals found at the scene were consistent with the device that Curley's boss, Rex Page, said he was constructing.
Page told the jury they had spoken about him building a compression chamber out of schedule 10 steel pipe as part of a long-line launcher.
Page advised him to use schedule 80, which was stronger. Curley went with schedule 10 and the pressure vessel that blew up.
The dismissed charges effectively cleared Curley of wrongdoing and confirmed what his family said since the day he died.
Curley had played age-group rugby for Counties Manukau, was an undefeated Thai boxer and had been the school cross-country champion.
"He hated drugs," his dad said. "He was always trying to invent something or improve something."
Before his death, Clint Curley, who worked long hours as an engineer, had built a two-bedroom extension on his parents' Waiuku home where he was going to live with his fiancée, whom he planned to marry at the end of the year.
The tight-knit family were "like the Brady Bunch" but, Geoff Curley said, since the tragedy and the allegations against his son, his marriage had broken up while his daughter Skye and son Jay were profoundly affected.
"If I look up my brother's name it comes up with 'P lab explosion'," Skye Curley said.
"On top of us grieving we had all that put on us as well - cops treated him like a piece of shit."
She said her brother loved life and even if police apologised, she would struggle to forgive them.
The Sunday Star-Times contacted police but they indicated Symonds was on leave and no further comment was forthcoming.
Geoff Curley said a formal apology would be a start but he would still take the case to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
"I interviewed more people than the police did. I've got a bigger file on this than them."
Regardless, Geoff Curley said it was not about any sort of revenge, more making sure his son was remembered for who he really was.
"He was the nicest guy you'd ever meet, always doing something for someone else," he said.
What is a long-line launcher? It is a pneumatic cannon capable of firing things long distances and has been developed from more rudimentary devices like the potato cannon. The chemical process which takes place can fire a length of line hundreds of feet and has been used in naval rescues and tactical military operations. Larger versions have been popular with engineers and inventors in the US who test their skills in firing pumpkins great distances.

The reason the internet is so awesome is because there is a sense of freedom here that we cannot really experience in the real world. I mean sure, the internet it just a crap-load of computers put together, but by being able to surf to all these various computers with their different information, it feels like traveling from one galaxy to the next in one big electronic universe.

Gaming just got a bit weirder. Foc.us Labs, a US-based manufacturer, created a headset, which fires electricity into the brain's frontal lobe that supposedly improves focus while you're playing. The four electrodes deploy so-called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), which, according to the report is similar to a technique used in treating depression (that's just fucking great).
The method is meant to "make your synapses fire faster" and "overclock your brain." Current is applied through an iPhone app that allows the user to control the strength and duration of each session.
Foc.us did state that this is not a medical device and it's not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration. On the other hand, they stress that the device meets regulated safety standards. Although, epilepsy sufferers and people under 18, are advised not to use the device.
I must admit that I can see how the manufacturer wanted to enhance the gameplay experience with this device, but I'll also admit that from some angles it looks a bit like a Nazi information extractor.

Got the AEM Brute Force intake for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7L Hemi. Was impressed to see how much time was taken in the design of the product to make it appear factory and it really went together well! Also to my surprise it came with a throttle body spacer. I would have loved to have given it a 5 star quality rating but mine came with a quarter sized dent in the body of the tube and the end where the filter goes was crushed in about an inch. Looks like they packaged it that way too.

Well made kit, and installation was a snap. I'm very picky about how band clamps are facing and minor details and this took about 30-40 minutes to install, not including looking for the screw driver I had a second ago. My only concerns as I have now seen this on 2 vehicles is a severe loss in low end and a painfully long down shift acquired on hard acceleration. I am not sure if I need a tuner or what but that kind of bothers me. I can't speak for gas mileage as all I have done is city driving.

Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN) today announced that its indoor and outdoor enterprise 802.11ac Wi-Fi access points (APs) are the first in the industry to be qualified under the Microsoft Lync Server Wi-Fi qualification program. The qualification program ensures that products conform to Microsoft's stringent guidelines for end-user voice and video quality. With this qualification, enterprises of all sizes can now leverage the speed and reliability of Aruba gigabit Wi-Fi to ensure predictable unified communications experiences.
The significant growth of #GenMobile employees using Lync-enabled smartphones, laptops and tablets has placed increased strain on enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructures, boosting demand for a Lync-qualified 802.11ac solution. With its patented ClientMatch™ technology, which intelligently steers mobile devices to the ideal AP, and AppRF technology, which prioritizes and improves the reliability of Lync traffic, Aruba's AP-200, AP-210, AP-220, and AP-275 Series of 802.11ac APs are ideal for enterprises seeking cost-effective, reliable and high-performance wireless solutions on which to run Lync unified communications.
"The mass adoption of Lync-enabled devices has dramatically raised the capacity and throughput demands on Wi-Fi networks," said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst for ZK Research. "The high performance of 802.11ac Wi-Fi is the ideal answer, and the accelerating unit shipments of 802.11ac devices and infrastructure highlights widespread market adoption. By Lync-qualifying all its indoor and outdoor 802.11ac products – from the entry level AP-200 series to the industrial-grade AP-270 series – Aruba is supporting Lync across the spectrum, from small branches running Office 365 to the largest host or on-premise Lync 2013 server based solutions. That's a game changer for Microsoft and for enterprises that have wanted to roll out Lync enterprise-wide but were concerned about the cost of infrastructure upgrades."
Aruba offers wireless solutions for Lync on-premises, hosted, and Office 365 applications. With technologies like AppRF, Aruba can automatically differentiate Lync voice, video, and desktop sharing from other application streams and prioritize Lync traffic to deliver a better overall user experience. The high performance of Lync over Aruba Wi-Fi – particularly with the added bandwidth of 802.11ac – is enabling enterprises worldwide to discard wired IP phones in favor of mobile Lync clients.
"With 802.11ac, we're finding that enterprises are even more confident about 'cutting the cord' and using Lync for all their users' unified communications needs – particularly for those making voice and video calls on their mobile devices," said Eric King, Director of Lync Partner Management. "Aruba has always been committed to ensuring the best possible Lync over Wi-Fi experience and their 802.11ac APs are no exception. Marrying Aruba 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Lync gives enterprises a reliable, high-performing UC experience."
"The all wireless workplace is fast becoming a reality," said Michael R. Tennefoss, Vice President Strategic Partnerships for Aruba Networks. "Reliably delivering Lync services over Wi-Fi gives enterprises the option to cut the last cord and pocket the savings that come from eliminating wired desk phones. Using the Lync-qualified 802.11ac wireless solution in conjunction with tightly integrated Lync server SDN API gives enterprises a robust, cost-effective platform for extending unified communications to mobile users and devices throughout the enterprise."

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

I feel great! I have been doing the Rock Hard Body Series from Exercise TV. Although I do not follow the plan directly, due to dancing, I use the plan three days a week. Sundays - Marco Reed Rock Hard Body, Tuesdays - Steve Maresca Rock Hard Body Extreme and Thursdays 6 Round Slimdown with Stephanie. On Monday I use one of Aziza's, Rania Renee's or Michelle Joyce's dvd's. On Wednesday I teach a belly dance class as well as Thursdays. On the weekends I usually dance 3 fifteen minutes sets at the restaurant. I have seen a different in the strength of my body adding the Exercise TV program and will continue the different workout plans each month AND THEY ARE NOT EXPENSIVE! I thought I would share this with some of you who might need an extra something for fitness. Plus the workouts are 45 minutes so mom's like me can find the spare time!

New Orleans Pelicans Rumors: Can Chris Copeland Be Swayed Away From New York Knicks?
Just this past season, the New York Knicks got some unexpected boosts from a pair of "veteran" rookies in Pablo Prigioni and Chris Copeland.
The latter of the two came to the Knicks after some strong play overseas in Belgium and although it took Copeland some time to adjust to the NBA game, he came around in a big way, especially during New York's advancement to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Now, Copeland is 29 years old and a restricted free agent, but under the new CBA guidelines, the Knicks can only match a deal worth up to $3.1 million. That opens the door for other teams who feel that he is worth more.
The New Orleans Pelicans are among them.
According to Marc Berman of the NY Post, the Pelicans are expected to make a play at Copeland, although it remains to be seen just how much they are willing to give him. New Orleans is under the cap, so they will have the flexibility, unlike the Knicks. New York has already said that they would like to keep Copeland, but their hands might be tied financially if higher offers roll in from other teams, like the Pelicans for example.
Copeland reportedly wants a contract in the four year, $16 million range, similar to what his teammate Steve Novak currently has. If that's the case, he's all but done in New York if another team is willing to offer that up.

My Sims, EA's designed-for-Japan take on their amazingly popular franchise, is coming to the US, and bringing its strangely Servbot-esque characters along! We actually weren't sure we'd see this one, since it was made expressly for Japanese audiences.
They've set up a web page for the localized release, with an English trailer and screenshots. Strangely, the website doesn't seem to distinguish between the Wii and DS versions at all, and between the simple art style and EA's too-perfect screenshots, we can't tell which one we're looking at, if not both. Therefore, we decree that the game either looks fantastic on DS or not that great on Wii!
We're ... kind of looking forward to The Sims again! What a nostalgic feeling. We'll try to remember this feeling in a couple of months when we're rolling our eyes at My Sims Pets Go to College Expansion 2: New Dorm Furniture for Rock Stars!!!
