StackIQ offers a comprehensive software suite that automates the deployment, provisioning, and management of Big Infrastructure. With StackIQ's software, you can spin up fully configured big data clusters, quickly and consistently — from bare-metal up to the applications layer — and manage them efficiently. Our software's modular architecture allows customers to integrate nearly any application with the StackIQ software stack.
Two of the founders of StackIQ will also present at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley.
Mason Katz / Co-Founder, CTO
Mason Katz is the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of StackIQ. Prior to joining StackIQ, he co-founded the open-source Rocks Clusters Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) located on the campus of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). He has 20 years of experience in distributed and networked systems. His first job was as an 8-bit embedded software engineer, where he integrated first generation GPS units into a national grid of weather
sensors. It was here that he discovered his passion for creating highly automated, maintainable, and supportable systems. He then took his embedded experience into the OS kernel arena and spent several years developing research-oriented network protocol stacks (x-kernel and IPSec) for Linux. For the last half of his career his primary focus has been on the design of software to manage commodity Linux clusters. As a co-founder of the Rocks Cluster Group, he helped position Rocks as the de facto standard in Linux cluster management.
Greg Bruno / Ph.D., Co-Founder, VP of Engineering
Greg Bruno is the Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of StackIQ. Prior to joining StackIQ, he co-founded the open-source Rocks Cluster Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) located on the campus of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCSD where he researched parallel file systems. Prior to the Rocks Cluster Group, he worked for 10 years at Teradata Systems where he developed cluster management software for the systems that supported the world's largest databases. He spent the last 10 years helping to architect, design and implement the Rocks Cluster Distribution, an open-source software stack that enables domain-specific users to build and manage their own clusters.

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole. The goal of DevOps is to connect all aspects of app...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

Breyer Premiere Club 2013 First Release. Carrick. Members had an option to receive the model in glossy instead of matte if their membership was renewed by a certain time at the start of the year. I chose glossy. As I would rather put my $ towards other model purchases, I'm offering my glossy copy as a pre-sale. Please buy with confidence. I sold my other premiere models as pre-sales and had very happy customers. I am a live shower and I'm very thorough in my inspection of models, so when he arrives, I will inspect him first for flaws before I send him on, priority mail and insured. I was told that this was likely to ship in late April through mid-May.
Thanks for looking and please check out my other items.

On my server (climexp.knmi.nl, RHEL, I am not sure which version) I had to install nco myself from source, which went reasonably smoothly (thanks). There I get
[bvlclim] [20:54] ~$ where ncks
[bvlclim] [20:56] ~$ ncks --version
NCO netCDF Operators version "4.0.8" last modified 2011/04/26 built Jan 5 2012 on bvlclim.knmi.nl by oldenbor
ncks version 4.0.8
[bvlclim] [20:55] ~$ ncks -v tas http://ensembles.ecmwf.int/thredds/dodsC/ensembles/stream1/atmospheric/monthly /tmp/aap.nc
nco_err_exit(): ERROR Short NCO-generated message (usually name of function that triggered error): nco_get_vara()
nco_err_exit(): ERROR Error code is -70. Translation into English with nc_strerror(-70) is "NetCDF: DAP server error"
nco_err_exit(): ERROR NCO will now exit with system call exit(EXIT_FAILURE)
nco was built against netcdf-4.1.3 with built-in opendap support:
[bvlclim] [20:56] ~$ nc-config --version
netCDF 4.1.3
[bvlclim] [20:56] ~$ nc-config --has-dap
The same opendap server responds normally to
[bvlclim] [21:09] ~$ ncdump -h http://ensembles.ecmwf.int/thredds/dodsC/ensembles/stream1/atmospheric/monthly
netcdf monthly {
ensemble = 62 ;
latitude = 71 ;
leadtime = 231 ;
My problem is that the climexp.knmi.nl web site uses ncks to get at external data, so this functionality is broken as long as I do not know how to fix this. Do you have any ideas?
Charlie Zender
Unfortunately, I get the same results as you when using the latest NCO's ncks and netCDF's ncdump.
However, I looked a bit further and this seems be a DAP server problem, i.e., something is amiss with ECMWF DAP server.
I say this because ncdump -h works as you showed, but ncdump -v tas fails just like ncks.
Moreover, ncks -m works just like ncdump -h.
Furthermore, if you use ncks to print the data to screen, rather than a netCDF file, as follows
ncks -D 3 -v tas http://ensembles.ecmwf.int/thredds/dodsC/ensembles/stream1/atmospheric/monthly
you will see that the DAP server starts to provide data before the error occurs.
So my theory is that something in the DAP library that NCO links to, or something in the DAP server at ECMWF, has
changed in a way that breaks this command that should work. I am going to submit this as a bug report to Unidata.
They will hopefully let me know if this is an issue on the NCO end, the client DAP library, or the server DAP.
When I know more, I will post a follow-up.
Charlie Zender
I think it is more likely a problem in the netcdf4 library than at ECMWF, as
1) I get similar problems with another opendap server that used to work:

Did Whitney Houston's Death Scare The Situation Straight? Mike Sorrentino Admits To Prescription Medication Abuse, But What Else?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Amanda Remling | March 23, 2012 1:00 AM EST
Whitney Houston is the latest celebrity whose problems with prescription pills ended in an untimely demise. On Tuesday, reps for Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino quickly refuted claims that the reality star had checked into rehab, but last night the Situation took to his Facebook page to "set the record straight."
After posting on his Facebook wall, "Don't believe everything you read or hear," Sorrentino wrote this: "I want to set the record straight. I have voluntarily taken the steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion. I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule. I appreciate my fans support and love. "
Posted 15 hours ago, the Situation already has 2,286 fans "liking" his post, with another 514 taking the time to comment. "There's no situation that the Situation can't handle," one fan writes. Another fan commented, "Take care Mike. It was obvious when you were not acting yourself this season."
While many seem to be supportive, a couple people seem to be calling Mike out on a bigger issue than prescription pills -- cocaine. "Bullsh-t. We all know you were doing cocaine," one individual wrote on Sorrentino's wall post, while another person posted, "Since when is coke a prescription?"
Incriminating screen shots from a February 2011 episode of "Jersey Shore" shows the Situation and Ronnie's ex-girlfriend doing something a little odd with their nose's while at a club.
While Sorrentino is only acknowledging his problem with prescription pills, he has not touched on the cocaine rumors or photos that have been circulating for over a year. TMZ is reporting that Sorrentino has more than a prescription drug problem. The gossip site has also learned that he has a situation with alcohol which he is working on treated at the Cirque Lodge in Utah. TMZ's source is stating that Sorrentino is "very open" about his alcohol use with the other patients at the detox center, telling others that his club appearances drove him to his alcohol problem.
Was Whitney Houston a wake up call for the Situation? While he has not admitted to what drove him to get help, Houston's February death could have triggered his entry into rehab. It was concluded that the late singer died of a combination of "Xanax and other powerful prescription drugs with alcohol." Heath Ledger (2008), Anna Nicole Smith (2007), Elvis Presley (1977) and Marilyn Monroe (1962) all met a similar fate due to a lethal combination of prescription drugs.
Although the entire cast of "Jersey Shore" has been confirmed for the sixth season, it's uncertain if the the Situation or the show will move forward with the current "situation." Would he be in a safe situation on the show if he is indeed battling alcohol problems alongside prescription pills? And will MTV just be enabling his potentially fatal problems if he returns to season six? If "Jersey Shore" does falls through, Sorrentino can fall back on fellow reality show, "Celebrity Rehab."

Am I beautiful?
Long dark hair, pale skin, green eyes
Striking I've often heard, doll like and innocent, the face of an angel
You should model they say, you should be in pictures and your name in lights
I wonder what do they see, why do they say such things
I see the flaws, the blemish on my cheek, or the frizz of my hair on a humid day, the scars on my legs which I try to cover to no avail
I try everyday, makeup perfect, hair down and straight, I cannot face the world if I'm not giving it my best
I feel ashamed, what do they see? how can they say those things?
Are they sincere with their words of praise, Am I beautiful?

Third New "Man of Steel" Poster Arrives Online
Posted: May 12th, 2013 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Just this weekend, Warner Bros has unveiled two posters for its upcoming Superman movie, "Man of Steel." And now, the studio has released a third poster, showing the title character flying. Check it out below.
In the film, a young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.
The new movie is directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300) and produced by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight). It's set to hit theaters on June 14th.

The posters do nothing for me. Nothing. Nothing to get me excited. We already know Superman flies fast, so why the blurred, lens-flared images of him flying up and away?
Over-produced and under-imagined.
on May 12th, 2013 at 11:18:37 PM
It's just a poster! Theses days its about as important as the album cover artwork for a music CD.
on May 12th, 2013 at 11:21:31 PM
How about a poster displaying one of Superman's myriad of other super powers, like his heat vision, or his invulnerability, or his freeze breath, or his ability to manipulate his own personal electromagnetic shield, etc.
on May 12th, 2013 at 11:46:50 PM
"It's just a poster! Theses days its about as important as the album cover artwork for a music CD."
Then why bother making one then, much less three of four plus the various banners? Because Photoshop has it's own Californian union now?

Well, guess it'll be a massive failure then. Some knob on an internet forum doesn't like the poster, might as well pack it in

Haven't you noticed. Snyder has a thing for Abrams. In fact he seems to kind of rip of a combination of Bay and Abrams. Slow motion mayhem like Bay and overuse of lighting like Abrams. Still Abrams at least finds emotional elements so that is in his defense.
on May 13th, 2013 at 2:12:58 AM
@Sleuth: yeah, but with Nolan on board, I thought we'd see a little less visual mindlessness and a little more story development. Granted, none of us have seen Man of Steel, but so far, not seeing a whole lot of Nolan's muc-reputed story complexity, and all of these posters scream banality.
Do agree though about Bay, but then I was just thinking the other day that Michael Bay is probably one of the worst things to have happened to summer blockbusters (Bayification), imo, and we're a long, long way from the days when Return of the Jedi and Indiana ruled the box office.
Just recall Armageddon destroyed Deep Impact that year, even though the latter is a far more thoughtful and engaging film.
on May 13th, 2013 at 3:48:24 AM
True. At the same time Superman in general is meant to be simpler in its message. Superman was the beginning of a source of pure good heroism. No psychological complexity although they are trying with the idea of Superman being an outsider and his isolation from society. Still...don't expect a nutty, head-scratching work. Superman as a character simplified between good and evil...black and white.
So that is the way I see it but you never know what will happen. I don't remember the trailer for "Batman Begins" being super complex either. Plus they are reintroducing the character so they have to very light the first time around so as to not scare anyone away with an overdose of thought. Unfortunately that is how it has to go. I mean seriously did you notice the huge intelligence boost between "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight"?! So let them have a decent story, kick ass effects, hopefully good acting, and a visual impacting movie this time around.
Like you said though. No one has seen the movie. It could be the most emotionally and intellectually deep piece ever but trailers trim it all down. Goyer, the writer, is going big for this film. The big ideas may not have been able to fit in the trailer without subtracting the hype from it. So let's wait and see shall we? All our questions will be answered in a month.
on May 13th, 2013 at 3:59:41 AM
@Sleuth: Well, fair enough but to entirely candid, I really don't care about Man of Steel. Have no plans whatsoever to see it. Maybe it'll be great, maybe it'll be not so great, but for me, whichever is irrelevant. Man of Steel just isn't for me; it's for kids.
on May 13th, 2013 at 11:01:04 AM
Whenever I see pathetic, racist, homophobes like minkowski posting on every article on these sites they say they hate, all I picture is some 300 pound 35 year old hovering over his laptop in a dark basement while he waits for his breakfast nachos to finish cooking in the microwave. How did I do? Pretty accurate?

From oil rig to luxury eco-resort
Think "oil rig" and what comes to mind? Deafening noise, pounding seas, people covered in black muck and ugly metal structures? Perhaps even explosions and Red Adair, but it's unlikely "luxury resort" popped into your head. However, thousands of decommissioned platforms in the Gulf of Mexico could in future be given a new lease of life as exclusive, self-sufficient eco-resorts that make use of renewable energy and cater for those looking for a new and unique holiday experience. The idea is catching on, with Morris Architects' program to turn a disused rig into a high-end resort experience winning it the firm a $10,000 Grand Prize in the Radical Innovation in Hospitality awards.

Donald Pettit was on Space Shuttle mission STS-126 when he decided enough was enough and came up with the idea of an "On-Orbit Coffee Cup" designed to hold liquid in zero gravity situations.

Shenzhen's solar-and-wind-powered skyscraper
Traditional architecture has been swept away and replaced by skyscrapers in China's bid to modernize its cities and house its huge population and thriving business interests. Shenzhen in southern China's Guangdong province has grown from a fishing village in the 1970s to a vibrant economic and financial centre - one of China's most successful special economic zones. Now its skyline will be graced with a 49-storey solar-and-wind-powered tower designed by Austrian architecture firm Coop Himmelblau. The second skin of the building will be lined with photovoltaic cells and feature mechanisms to provide natural ventilation, reduce wind pressure, shade the interior from sun and display multimedia banners.

IBM Innov8 v.2: serious gaming helps tomorrow's business leaders
Pilots, the military and emergency services have been using simulations for years to teach skills in a risk-free environment where otherwise lives might be lost. Video gaming isn't new either - the CEOs of many of today's big names such as Yahoo and Google grew up on a diet of avatars and role-playing. But it's only recently that business simulators and advanced video gaming have merged to form 'serious games' like IBM's Innov8. IBM has announced v.2, a new version that helps students and professionals hone their business and technology skills in a compelling, familiar video game format. Read More
Febot uses wind power to recharge batteries
We're always on the lookout for new, 'greener' ways of saving or renewing energy. South Korean designers Ji-yun Kim, Soon-young Yang and Hwan-ju Jeon have developed the Febot, a small, easily-assembled portable battery charger concept that harnesses the power of the wind rather than using electricity. Place a rechargeable battery inside the Febot and stick it on the outside of a window or wall, or any other outdoor surface, using the suction cap at the base of the unit. Read More

Smart Lite CFL replaces the bulbs not the ballast
Compact fluorescent lights (CFL) are a smaller version of their long established big brothers which, despite some drawbacks such as a small amount of mercury content, have gained serious ground in recent years as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional incandescent globes. CFLs reduce carbon emissions because they convert electricity into light more efficiently and also last up to ten times longer, but the globe still reaches its used by date long before the base (ballast) section that connects it to the power socket. 3E Technologies has identified this as another wasteful aspect of the process that could be eliminated and its solution is the Smart Lite - a two-piece CFL which allows the bulb to be removed from the ballast and replaced with a simple 'insert and twist' operation.

Award-Winning Cloud-Based Power and Energy Management Platform to be a Highlight of CE Week 2013
PETALUMA, Calif. — June 24, 2013 — BlueBOLT(R) today announced that the company will be showcasing its cloud-based power and energy management platform at CE Week 2013. Designed to facilitate the control of household power and energy usage, the company's hardware and software technology provides an intuitive plug-and-play Web interface where users can control AC outlets to easily schedule, monitor, and manage their energy consumption. The solution will be on display for the duration of CE Week, with live demonstrations taking place directly from BlueBOLT's booth 14.
"BlueBOLT has been designed to be the simplest Web-based power management solution available," said John Benz, director of power and accessories, Core Brands(R). "Homeowners simply connect their BlueBOLT gateway to the Internet and then wirelessly pair and control up to fifteen MD2-ZB SmartPlugs per gateway through our Web interface. There is no complicated network setup, static IP addresses, port forwarding, or technical knowledge required. We're making remote energy monitoring more end-user accessible, creating more sustainable, affordable, and energy-efficient households for consumers."
For flexible anytime, anywhere power and energy management, BlueBOLT's BB-ZB1 gateway and the wireless MD2-ZB SmartPlug provide energy monitoring, individual outlet control, scheduled conservation, and surge protection in a compact form that plugs directly into any standard 120V, 15A outlet.
To help eliminate wasted power, lower utility bills, and reduce environmental footprints, BlueBOLT technology can be applied to a variety of household operations. These include performing "hard reboots" of electronic devices from anywhere in the world; programming individual components for automatic power-offs at certain times of the day; parental control capabilities for TVs and console gaming sessions; and providing power consumption statistics to better understand energy usage and costs.
For a complete overview of BlueBOLT's consumer benefits, the company will be holding a press conference at CE Week on June 27 from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in the Met Suite on the 2nd floor of the Metropolitan Pavilion. Topics will include how to incorporate greener lifestyles via smart energy usage to reduce power consumption and lower utility bills. The event will also provide a walkthrough of BlueBOLT's powerful energy management and control tools for households.

Fund managers Edwin Miska and Clark Wagner prospered over the past year by sticking to their mandate: avoid risk. Their First Investors Total Return Fund, a balanced vehicle for which Miska picks stocks and Wagner bonds, gained 7.87% in the 12 months through March 8, versus the Standard & Poor's 500's return of 3.25%. But the value-oriented, income-seeking managers aren't satisfied; they've begun to tweak their strategy of late, adding lesser-known stocks and lower-rated bonds. The aim, says Miska, is "to try to stay one step ahead" of the market.
Of course, risk is a relative term. Designed for retail investors with accounts smaller than $10,000 who don't have cash to spread across multiple funds, $475 million-in-assets First Investors Total Return (ticker: FITRX) isn't about to go all in on emerging-markets stocks or wager on Greek bonds. It provides an all-in-one strategy that invests about 55% to 60% of its assets in equities and 40% to 45% in fixed income, usually keeping less than 5% in cash. The fund, with an expense ratio of 1.33%, helped boost its parent, First Investors Management, to the No. 4 position in Barron's Best Fund Family ranking ("Worth the Risk," Feb. 6). First Investors oversees $7.7 billion in mutual funds and variable-annuity subaccounts.
Wagner (left) and Miska are betting on global transport stocks and have edged into slightly lower-quality bonds? Roger Hagadone for Barron's
Miska, a 49-year-old graduate of Boston University and former equity portfolio manager at Evergreen Funds, has managed the stock portion of Total Return since he came to First Investors as director of equities in 2002. His portion is a clone of the First Investors Growth & Income Fund (FGINX), which he runs with a 12-member investment team. Seeking "growth at a reasonable price," he takes calculated risks on high-quality companies like International Business Machines IBM -0.08036597428288823% International Business Machines Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD161.63 -0.13 -0.08036597428288823% /Date(1417028009479-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1904796 P/E Ratio 13.220760425183974 Market Cap 197865186741.902 Dividend Yield 2.7212584088431004% Rev. per Employee 229711 More quote details and news » (IBM) and Johnson & Johnson JNJ 0.3280224929709466% Johnson & Johnson U.S.: NYSE USD107.05 0.35 0.3280224929709466% /Date(1417028017994-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2511414 P/E Ratio 17.44299674267101 Market Cap 298665039919.708 Dividend Yield 2.6143790849673203% Rev. per Employee 579407 More quote details and news » (JNJ). Such huge, sound outfits should be able to ride out the volatility caused by events in Europe or elsewhere. Cash, dividends or special payouts, and private-market valuations are all important considerations in Miska's selections.
Wagner, 53, has a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University and is a former General Electric municipal-bond portfolio manager. He works with a team of seven to choose bonds, and, like Miska, is looking for high quality. The investment-grade bonds in the portfolio are intended to act as a hedge against the volatility of the fund's stocks, he notes. As the firm's director of fixed income, Wagner is also responsible for the fund's macroeconomic analysis.
Notwithstanding last week's bumpiness for stock prices, Miska and Wagner are convinced that the U.S. economy is on the rise. Even though they acknowledge the uncertainty caused by a coming presidential election and other issues, they believe the worst-case scenarios for Europe's sovereign-debt crisis already are reflected in securities prices.
While they think 2012 will look a lot like 2011, they argue that it will differ in important respects, which is why they've been making measured changes. For instance, stocks will be more important to the fund's returns this year than last. Most of 2011's gain came from bonds. The Fed's easy-money policies will lure more investors out of cash and into stocks, Miska believes. The expectation of growing global trade has pushed him toward sectors like shipping-container leasing.
At the same time, Wagner is adding lower-rated—but still investment-grade—corporate bonds with higher yields. He is moving down the ratings spectrum from single A, which was the fund's average bond rating in February, to BBB, which is just a hair's breadth away from the highest non-investment-grade of BB. In January, Wagner sold municipal bonds, which then made up 2% of the portfolio, to take advantage of a seasonal spike in muni prices. He used the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasuries.

As part of his bet on global trade, Miska likes TAL International TAL -0.10952902519167579% TAL International Group Inc.

It buys new steel containers in China for about $2,500 each and leases them to shippers for about $1 a day over 12 years, taking in $4,380 over the life of each. Then TAL sells them for scrap, where they currently fetch about $1,000. That's a return of $2,880—or more than 100%—on a $2,500 investment, albeit over a long stretch. The stock is up 43% since Nov. 25.
Miska has a private-market value for TAL, based on the scrap value of its containers, of about $1 billion. That could make it a target for larger rivals like Textainer TGh -0.6457046603032004% Textainer Group Holdings Ltd.

Miska has scored with a number of takeovers of his holdings, including Goodrich (GR) and Temple-Inland (TIN).
Miska also likes companies that generate a lot of cash and distribute it to their shareholders in dividends, like LyondellBasell lyb -1.9194704908990623% LyondellBasell Industries N.V. Cl A U.S.: NYSE USD88.91 -1.74 -1.9194704908990623% /Date(1417028021789-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2096606 P/E Ratio 10.387987903837846 Market Cap 45385554897.5647 Dividend Yield 3.147128245476003% Rev. per Employee 3492930 More quote details and news » (LYB), a Dutch petrochemicals company that emerged from bankruptcy protection in 2010. Last year, Lyondell paid $5.05 in dividends, including a $4.50 special payout. Miska expects the shares, up 42% since he bought them, to provide a total return of about 15% this year—half of that from dividends.
Wagner acquired a couple of BBB-rated bond positions last year. One is from Brazilian oil giant Petrobras pze -0.15527950310559005% Petrobras Argentina S.A.

"We expect bonds to be upgraded as a result," says Wagner.
Still, the stocks will have to drive performance this year, say Miska and Wagner. Corporate bonds should offer returns of about 4% to 5%, according to the fixed-income manager. The average earnings of the stocks in the Total Return portfolio are projected to grow at about twice the rate of the S&P's 8% earnings gain. Yet Miska's stocks are trading at a lower price-earnings ratio. That sounds more like a well-positioned portfolio than a big risk.

11 Firsts: Major Milestones After The Repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell'
BY Michelle Garcia
September 18 2012 4:00 AM ET
One of the biggest victories of the gay rights movement was repealing "don't ask, don't tell," which officially banned LGBT members of the military from serving openly. While there are still issues for personnel with same-sex partners (like housing or health insurance benefits) or transgender troops who still cannot serve openly, there still have been many causes for celebration.
August 2011: The First LGBT Magazine
Timed with the official repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," military officials approved distribution of OutServe, a magazine for LGBT service members and their families, on military bases.

Stay out of it, Sid
Re: The answer is so simple it almost defies belief, Jan. 10.
Union members across the country are getting laid off and these people are hurting and they are, or at least were, dues-paying union members. Union members need our unions to focus on their job security, contract language/negotiations, representations, decent wages and safe working conditions in these times. Their dues enable us to do what we do -- so perhaps we should concentrate on them instead of what is happening in a conflict that we could never even begin to understand.
I am the president of a fairly large CUPE local and I am opposed to CUPE Ontario's president, Sid Ryan, taking any position regarding Israel.
As a unionist I believe, along with a large percentage of rank-and-file members, that we have to take care of our own members' needs before sticking our noses into other countries' disputes, be it Israel or any other country. We (the union) have a very diverse membership as we represent members from most all-religious and ethnic backgrounds and we should not be forming opinions on any group, country, religion or conflict.Terry Egan
President, CUPE Local 110

Oak Parkers need to 'Adopt a Viaduct'
By Ken Trainor
As public offenses go, littering is relatively minor. But it's still offensive and it's constantly in your field of vision, an undercurrent of chaos, unsettling to walk past — or in some cases, wade through.
Oak Park Avenue is one example. On either side of the Metra tracks and especially under the overpass, the evidence is glaring — back at us. We're living in an environment and in a town where a lot of people drop things. Throw in all the little black circles on the sidewalks from the remarkable amount of gum unceremoniously spit out, add the weediness of walkways come August and September, and you've got a … condition.
It affects your feeling about the village. It reflects badly on all of us.
It makes us look bad.
What to do about it?
Well, the village loves signs. Maybe we need an anti-littering campaign. They also love trash receptacles, but the ones on Oak Park Avenue are old and designed so the wind can sweep through the two-sided opening, sending litter back onto streets and sidewalks. Of course, there are also the free editions of RedEye, read at bus stops, then left on the benches to be blown, page by page down the street.
But as the conservatives keep telling us, you can't expect government to solve all our problems, so we probably need volunteers to address the littering issue. We may need an "Adopt a Viaduct" program, similar to those stretches of interstate highway "adopted" by Scout troops, church groups, and sundry other civic-minded organizations.
We've got myriad churches here, a plethora of Scout troops and plenty of schools, which are always trying to instill service values. We've got enough Montessori kids alone to do the job. This would be a good project for any of them. Maybe the village could spring for "grabber" tools because some of this litter looks rather … unseemly. In other words, we don't know where it's been. Gloves should also be required.
It's minor in the overall scope of village challenges, but it's also very visible. We need to spruce things up. A lot of tourists get off the Green Line at Oak Park Avenue and wander around trying to find their way to the Hemingway and Wright sites. What are they thinking about us when they see all this litter? Heck, maybe they're doing some of the littering themselves. Regardless, somebody's got to pick the stuff up, and the stuff we photographed, especially under the train tracks, has been there a while. That includes dried-up leaves, which may be there from last winter for all we know.
It's probably the same under the other overpasses in town.
We need community-minded people to Adopt a Viaduct or Adopt a Block. The village can put up a sign so your group gets credit.
It takes a village, right?

Here's an idea:

How about able-bodied people on welfare or food stamps having this daily assignment? Think of the positive message this would send their family and children? I've witnessed too many using the Link card who would benefit from getting some exercise, too. C'mon, "it takes a village" and they can join the "Scout troops, church groups, and sundry other civic-minded organizations" in this endeavor!
Cleanup crews needed
Posted: October 1st, 2013 8:00 AM
I frequently see dead rodents & birds while running, too. I know the village has alley cleanup kits for residents and it's true we should do more voluntary trash pickup. But the village needs to do its part, too. A weekly litter crew on the major streets and maybe hitting each block once a month is a pretty reasonable expectation.
I thought I paid for someone to take care of that?
Posted: September 25th, 2013 12:07 PM
How about we just get the public works department to pick it up daily. Isn't it their job?

Pirates Tie Rams 1-1 in Season Opener in Rhode Island
Sophomore goalkeeper Julian Spindler, who handled 11 Rhode Island corner kicks and made four saves, kept the Pirates in the match, until he surrendered a goal at the 38 minute mark.
This only blemish on young Spindler's day came when Mike Casey took a Mike Sykes pass and beat him from the top of the box.
But, it was the two NJ seniors who were able to team up in the 77th minute for the game tying goal. Victor Manosalvas from Clifton was able to hit Kai Greene from South Orange, who was then able to drill it home from 8 yards out for the tying goal.
Not much happened in the two overtime periods, and despite being out-shot 23 to 11, the Pirates left Rhode Island with a hard fought 1-1 tie.
SHU returns home on Sunday, August 31st, for a 1:00 kick off at Owen T. Carroll Stadium for their home opener against UMass-Lowell.
