A number of analysts are beginning to suggest 2013 will likely signal the awakening of a long night in the IT industry that started with the beginning of the third millennium with the Internet crash. And just as recovery was around the corner, the financial crisis of 2008 dried the IT well once more. Both crises can be characterized as crises of demand. Just past 2000, the Y2K pipeline ran dry. Some argue that the problem was overstated, whereas others argue that the problem was solved just in time. In either case this event triggered a significant pullback in IT spending.
Faced with an existential threat after Y2K, the IT industry did not sit still. The main outcome from these lean years has been a significant increase in efficiency where the role of IT in companies with most advanced practices shifted from being a cost center to an active participant in the execution of corporate business strategy. Capabilities evolved from no accountability on resource utilization to efficient use of capital to nimble participant in a broad range of organizations and initiatives. The second crisis reaffirmed the continuing need to do more in the face of shrinking budgets and very likely provided the impetus for the widespread adoption of cloud technology.
The state of the art today is epitomized by cloud computing under the service paradigm. From a historical perspective the current state of development for services is in its third iteration.
The early attempts came in various forms from different angles and as many vendors. The most prominent examples of this era came from application server and connectivity ISVs (independent software vendors) and from operating system vendors: Microsoft, IBM, TIBCO and various Unix vendors of that era. The main characteristic of this era that went roughly from 1995 to 2005 was single-vendor frameworks with vendors attempting to build ecosystems around their particular framework. This approach did not take off, partly because concerns in IT organizations about vendor lock-in and because the licensing costs for these solutions were quite high.
The second era was the era of SOA that lasted roughly from 2000 to 2010. The focus was to re-architect legacy IT applications from silo implementations to collections of service components working together. Most of the service components were internally sourced, resulting perhaps from the breaking former monoliths, and combined with a few non-core third party services. Vendors evolved their offerings so they would work well in this new environment. The technology transformation costs were still significant as well as the demand on practitioners' skills. Transformation projects required a serious corporate commitment in terms of deferrals to accommodate process reenginering, licensing fees and consulting costs. As a result, the benefits of SOA were available only to large companies. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) and individual consumers were left out of the equation.
Cloud technology drives the current incarnation for IT services following the crisis of 2008. Clouds notwithstanding, if we look at the physical infrastructure for data centers, it is not radically different from what it was five years ago, and there are plenty of data centers five years ago or older still in operation. However, the way these assets are organized and deployed is changing. Much in the same way credit or other people's money drives advanced economies, with the cloud other people's systems are driving the new IT economy.
Scaling a business often involves OPM (other people's money), through partnerships or issuing of stock through IPOs (initial public offerings). These relationships are carried out within a legal framework that took hundreds of years to develop.
In the real world, scaling a computing system follows a similar approach, in the form of resource outsourcing, such as using other people's systems or OPS. The use of OPS has a strong economic incentive: it does not make sense to spend millions of dollars in a large system for occasional use only.
Large scale projects, for instance a marketing campaign that requires significant amounts of computing power are peaky in the usage of infrastructure assets, usually start with small trial or development runs, with large runs far and few between. A large system that lies idle during development would be a waste of capital.
Infrastructure sharing across a pool of users increases the duty cycle of infrastructure assets through the sharing of these assets with multiple users. Cloud service providers define the sandbox whereby a number of corporate or individual users have access to this infrastructure. Cloud computing increases the efficiency of capital use through resource pooling delivered through a service model.
The first step in the infrastructure transformation came in the form of server consolidation and virtualization technology. After consolidation became a mainstream IT practice, the trend has been toward the support of more dynamic behaviors. IaaS allows the sharing of physical assets not just within the corporate walls, but across multiple corporate customers. A cloud service provider takes a data center, namely $200 million asset and rents individual servers or virtual machines running inside them by the hour, much in the same way a jet leasing companies takes a $200 million asset, namely an airliner and leases it to an air carrier which otherwise would not be able to come up with the upfront capital expense. The air carrier turns around and sells seats to individual passengers, which is essentially renting a seat for the duration of one flight.
In other words, the evolution we are observing in the delivery of IT services is no different than the evolution that took place in other, more mature industries. The processes that we are observing with cloud computing and associated service delivery model is no different than the evolution of the transportation industry, to give one example.
As we will see in the next few articles, the changes brought by the cloud are actually less about technology and more about the democratization of the technology: the quantum for delivery used to be so large that only the largest companies could afford IT. Over the past few years IT became accessible to small and medium businesses and even individual consumers and developers: businesses can purchase email accounts by the mailbox with a monthly fee, and deployment models allow individual consumers to sign up for email accounts at no out of pocket cost. We will look at the evolution of the service model from a corporate privilege to mass availability. From a practical, execution perspective, products like the Intel® Expressway Service Gateway and Intel® API Manager were developed to support the life cycle of cloud enabled applications, and I'll be pointing to aspects of these products to provide specific examples of the concepts discussed.
In the next article we'll discuss the "big guns" services represented by the SOA movement in the first decade of the millennium.

"The Street" is a serious investigation into states of disorder and confusion presented in the vernacular language of cartoon figures and naïve drawing. The composition is divided into three vertical sections, each depicting a different state of being: passive decay, violent aggression, and total disarray. At the right, a large trashcan is stuffed to overflowing with empty bottles, old strips of wood, a shoe, and other refuse. In the center is a barrage of disembodied limbs, hairy and paw-like, wielding trashcan lids as shields. These arms confront to the left a wave of skinny, interlocked legs whose movements seem thwarted by their own oversize shoes. Below, on the horizon line, which is the street itself, a pair of large spiders ominously sits poised for action.
Guston's work remained an intensely personal statement throughout its many transformations, often relying on his private iconography of images to convey ideas about the human condition and to express the artist's own fears and crises. As he wrote in 1974, his late paintings depict a "sort of Dante Inferno land." The unsettling color scheme of "The Street"—red, bright pink, and gunmetal gray—and its crude style of painting add to the sense of urgent turmoil and despair.

The Boot's 2014 Holiday Gift Guide
It's almost time to deck the halls and rock around the Christmas tree -- so why not get a head start on your shopping this year?
It's almost time to deck the halls and rock around the Christmas tree -- so why not get a head start on your shopping this year?
Jelly sandals, JNCO jeans, Doc Martens, slap bracelets and scrunchies -- those are just a few memorable trends of the 1990s. And while a lot of those fashion choices are best laid to rest, there are some country music hits from the decade that we never want to let go.
Ty Herndon and Billy Gilman made headlines in November 2014 by revealing they were gay within hours of each other ... but they weren't the first country artists to make such an announcement.
Dierks Bentley songs are some of the most daringly original tracks in the last 10-plus years of country music. Since his debut in 2003, the singer-songwriter has consistently defied radio trends to produce some of the most sonically interesting records in contemporary country music.
Country artists have never shied away from recording songs that tell the stories of the wars that the U.S. has been involved in. From Johnny Horton's 'Battle of New Orleans' to Trace Adkins' 'Arlington,' artists (and their fans) have embraced the idea of supporting our soldiers through music.
We all have plenty to be thankful for this coming Thanksgiving (Nov. 27).
The 2014 CMA Awards were spectacular -- truly a night to remember.
Jason Aldean once called Nashville "Hollywood with a touch of twang," and rocker Shawn Mullins deemed Los Angeles "kind of like Nashville with a tan," so it's only natural that the stars from each city would intermingle -- personally and professionally.
Is there anything more fun than scrolling through Instagram photos of your favorite country artists? It's constant entertainment, whether you check it first thing in the morning, or during an afternoon slump for a pick-me-up. You can peek into snippets of different stars' lives, seeing everything from Kacey Musgraves' colorful manicures to the celebrities Reba McEntire is hanging out with, plus ultra-cute pictures of Jake Owen's daughter.
Choosing who you follow on Twitter can cause a serious quandary. Each tweeter has to be worthy of your feed, providing you with good information or a good laugh, and it's hard to do with a maximum of 140 characters.

Fixed mortgage remain a bargain at the start of the spring-buying season: The average rate on the 30-year mortgage dipped last week, while the 15-year loan fell to a new record low.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the rate on the 30-year loan ticked down to 3.88 percent, from 3.90 percent the previous week. That's slightly above the 3.87 percent average rate hit three weeks ago, which was the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.
The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.13 percent, from 3.17 percent a week ago.
Rates on the 30-year loan have been below 4 percent for three months. That has made home-buying and refinancing more attractive for those who can qualify.

During a Bureau of Mediation Services overview, Rep. Carolyn Laine (DFL-Columbia Heights) announced her intent to introduce a bill that would reinstate the Office of Dispute Resolution.
Although the office dissolved after its funding was cut in 2003, its "demand didn't go away," she told other members of the House Labor, Workplace and Regulated Industries Committee.
If Laine is successful in having it reinstated, BMS Commissioner Josh Tilsen has agreed to oversee the office.
The bureau promotes constructive labor-management relations involving state employees, such as teachers and collective bargaining units. It also maintains a list of professional arbitrators, should disputes rise to litigation levels. Potential appropriations for the new office would fund grants for non-profit organizations that work in a similar way with the non-public sector.
One of these organizations, the Conflict Resolution Center, offered legislators the opportunity to take its four-day mediation training course. Laine voluntarily took the course.
"You see how magical it can be to go from anger to everything being resolved," Laine said. "They operate on a shoestring, yet what they do is so good."
Successfully mediating workplace contracts and grievances can save parties thousands of dollars associated with escalating issues to the arbitration level, which may include attorney fees and binding resolution, Tilsen said. More state employees could benefit from the mediation training and workshops offered by the bureau; however, some workers attach a stigma to the notion of being taught conflict resolution, he said.

New emissions standards would fuel shift from coal to natural gasApril 5, 2013 12:00 pm | News | Comments
Tougher EPA air-quality standards could spur an increased shift away from coal and toward natural gas for electricity generation, according to a new Duke University study. Complying with stricter regulations on sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, and mercury may make nearly two-thirds of the nation's coal-fired power plants as expensive to run as plants powered by natural gas. The regulations would make 65% of U.S. coal plants as expensive as natural gas, even if gas prices rise significantly.

New Fischer-Tropsch catalyst invented in AmsterdamMarch 5, 2013 9:38 am | News | Comments
The Fischer-Tropsch process is used for producing fuels from synthesis gas, which in turn is made from natural gas, biomass, or coal. Large reserves of shale or natural gas now changing the world energy market have raised interest in this technology, but prior reactors have been too bulky. Inspired by patents from the 1960s audio cassette recording industry, University of Amsterdam chemists have recently developed a new Fischer-Tropsch catalyst that is significantly cheaper and more scalable.
Purification on the cheapFebruary 5, 2013 7:42 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Increased natural gas production is seen as a crucial step away from the greenhouse gas emissions of coal plants and toward U.S. energy independence. But natural gas wells have problems: Large volumes of deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals, flow out along with the gas. That so-called "produced water" must be disposed of, or cleaned. Now, a process developed by engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology could solve the problem and produce clean water at relatively low cost.
Energy industry develops nontoxic fracking fluidsFebruary 3, 2013 12:23 pm | by KEVIN BEGOS - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments

Adidas reports 'irregularities' at Reebok unit in India
Sportswear giant Adidas has said that "commercial irregularities" at its Reebok unit in India could cost the firm up to 125m euros ($165m, £101m).
The firm told the BBC it is carrying out an internal investigation. "We will take further steps" when that process has been completed, a spokeswoman said.
Adidas said the irregularities resulted in a change of leadership at its India business in March this year.
Two top executives at the Adidas Group in India left the company in March.
At the time the executives left, the Times of India said it had learned that the departures were linked to "swirling allegations of financial discrepancies and losses" at Reebok in India.
While the company did not provide more information about the investigation into its Reebok business in India, it highlighted that there has been a management overhaul.
In the statement accompanying its first-quarter results, Adidas said: "Management assures its stakeholders that it has, and will continue to, vigorously pursue a course of action to protect the group's interests, which has already resulted in the appointment of a new local leadership team in India at the end of March."
"Under this new leadership team, management is further planning an accelerated restructuring of its business activities in India, including significant changes to its commercial business practices."
"This could lead to additional one-time charges in the remaining quarters of 2012 in an estimated amount of up to 70m euros."
At the same time, the firm said first-quarter net income increased.
The firm's profit was 289m euros in the quarter, up 38% from the previous year, and it also raised its annual sales target. It now expect sales to rise 10% this year.

INTERVIEW-India's HCC to revamp Lavasa finances, decide on IPO
* Lavasa to be restructured- Gulabchand
* HCC in talks with Abu Dhabi developer
* Bhutan interested in Lavasa model
By Henry Foy and Matthias Williams
MUMBAI, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Hindustan Construction Company, one of India's largest builders, will revamp the financial structure of its Lavasa arm and decide whether to revive plans for an IPO after the unit won environmental clearance last week to resume construction after a year's delay, its chairman said.
Lavasa, a $31 billion township in India's western hills, was ordered to stop construction 12 months ago due to government wrangling over green laws. The delay cost Hindustan Construction $400,000 a day and forced the firm to abandon plans for an initial public offering for the project.
"We must now restructure the whole financial structure of the project," Ajit Gulabchand told Reuters in an interview on Sunday on the sidelines of a World Economic Forum event in Mumbai.
"It's a one-year delay which has added extra costs, so we will have to look at that," he said.
India's environment ministry on Wednesday gave conditional clearance to the Lavasa project, ending a long-running dispute. That and other stalled projects in Asia's third largest-economy have spooked investors and hurt business confidence in the country.
"We will get things back on track, and then look at the long-term picture a little later ... we're focused on the next 90 days to get (construction) moving," said Gulabchand.
The Lavasa project was roughly one-third built when construction was ordered to be halted.
Gulabchand also said Hindustan Construction (HCC) is in talks with an unnamed construction firm in Abu Dhabi to form an association with Steiner, a Swiss developer it bought a controlling interest in last year.
Gulabchand is also in talks with Bhutan to bring the Lavasa township model to the reclusive Himalayan kingdom, he said.
"They want to exploit the green aspect," he said.
"They don't want to exploit their minerals, but tourism instead."
