Rumour: Ubisoft announcing new additions to "two of its classic action series" - and they're not Assassin's Creed.
CVG Reaction:This one's from a very reliable, but very tight-lipped source. We'd place our chips on these duo coming from a pool of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Far Cry, Brothers In Arms or Prince Of Persia.
Far Cry 3 is already looking pretty likely, of course - so it's take your pick time from the rest... Wed definitely take a new Rainbow six in a new location, after Ubisoft brought us Vegas-based mayhem with its last two iterations in the franchise.
The French publisher's E3 conference is set for June 6. We'll be watching like hawks - and letting you know any new info as soon as we hear it...
Rumour: "Gigantic" Mass Effect online announcement coming.
CVG Reaction: According to the internets, a copy of Game Informer in April revealed that Mass Effect 3 would definitely not have multiplayer.
We've spoken to numerous industry sources who have somewhat put this in doubt, and are adamant that BioWare will have something "gigantic to announce when it comes to Mass Effect online". If it's not ME3 multiplayer, what could BioWare have up its sleeve?
We can be sure at least that the action RPG will have a giant presence at E3 2011, and that it will feature as a centrepiece of EA's conference. Could a non-single player announcement form a major part of the publisher's showcase on Monday, June 6? Tune in to find out...
Rumour: Digital Alan Wake title 'is not all Remedy has to present'.
CVG reaction: You didn't think an XBLA game was all everyone's No.1 Finland developer had been up to for the past year, did you? Remember that L.A Noire-beating tech the studio was so full of beans about earlier this year?
We anticipate we'll see more of it at E3. We've certainly been told that Remedy has something "triple-A" to show at the event, but Microsoft's not confirming nowt. Remedy boss Oskari Hakkinen might have said that the "next Wake instalment will not be Alan Wake 2", but that doesn't exactly tell us what may come after a digital release, does it?
Rumour: Sony has a new PS3 controller to show off.
CVG Reaction:Okay, we admit it - we're in pie in the sky territory here. But when we were told this earlier in the year by a UK trade source, he was deadly serious.
Our interest was piqued when Quantic Dream's David Cage told us in March: "I can clearly see how DualShock is the end of an era and we need to move to something else as an industry. I don't know if Kinect or Move are the ultimate answer. It's up to console manufacturers to bring [a new device]. But something will happen, hopefully soon."
It's a clear indication that some of Sony's biggest friends in the industry are ready for a new pad. Perhaps the 'break apart' controller rumoured in 2008 could become an unlikely reality? Or maybe Sony has something even more exciting up its sleeve. In under a week, all these agonising questions will finally find an answer...

Finland paves way for 4G rollout
Finnish carriers TeliaSonera, Elisa and DNA have all been allocated additional wireless spectrum, potentially allowing them to start building out 4G mobile networks immediately.
US carrier AT&T has announced plans to upgrade its 3G network with High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2, as it paves the way for a roll out of LTE in 2011.

In our exclusive series of interviews some of the top CTOs in the industry discuss the technical benefits of LTE, its flexibility in terms of available spectrum and which spectrum they need to make a success of the technology.
Brought to you by Ericsson.
Executive interview series: LTE
Erik Ekudden, VP, Head of Standardization and Industry Initiatives, Ericsson
WiMAX is holding its own, despite the economic downturn, although it will come under increasing pressure to prove itself over the next couple of years with the rise of HSPA and LTE.
Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo said Monday that it has successfully field tested LTE technology, claiming wireless transmissions in the range of 120Mbps in an urban environment.
WiMAX supporters can claim with some justification that telecom regulators, in some of the world's key markets, are dampening the technology's growth prospects in the near term through overlong periods of 'consultation'. India is an obvious example. Ongoing disputes between different government departments, blurred divisions of responsibility between the regulator (TRAI) and the Department of [...]

Speaking at the MWC event in Barcelona, Lynch added that further LTE trials will take place this summer using the 700MHz frequency band with commercial deployment slated for next year in '20 to 30 markets in the US'. Verizon [...]
Despite all the marketing noise that is sure to be generated by LTE supporters during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this week, Agilent – a test & measurement specialist – believes there is still some way to go before LTE is widely commercially available and delivering the much-touted speeds of 100Mbps and above.

Young Money's Mack Maine is catching some bad press heading into Labor Day weekend with reports claiming he will receive multiple charges for an alleged attack on a female this month.
According to reports, the incident took place aboard Young Money head Lil Wayne's tour bus.
Rapper Mack Maine WILL be charged with sexual battery and assault for allegedly groping a female and then punching her female friend on Lil Wayne's tour bus last week … officials tell TMZ. TMZ broke the story … Maine has been accused of inviting the alleged victims onto Wayne's tour bus following a concert in OKC last week. While on the bus, one woman claims Maine stuck his hand down her shirt and squeezed her breast without consent. (TMZ)
The reports also claim Mack would not allow the female to exit Weezy's bus.
The woman claims she slapped Maine and tried to get off the bus, along with her female friend … but Maine was so upset, he blocked the door and punched the friend in the face, breaking her jaw. The D.A. tells TMZ it's unclear WHEN they will file the charges against Maine, but officials say it's just of matter of time. We reached out to Mack to for comment — so far, no word back. (TMZ)
Shortly after the story went viral, Mack appeared to downplay it on his Twitter page.
"Don't believe the hype!!!!," Mack tweeted August 30. (Mack Maine's Twitter)

The Thread is DEAD - Long LIVE the Thread :
>1. "Timelessness" * * * Are you saying you would like to remove this common-law derived protection from the state? Hmmm...<
At least you understood the word to mean a motion to dismiss for lack of timely prosecution . I got clued on this from a Calif. DUI Lawyer and watched him do it . There may have been other circumstances I was unaware of . ( maybe the Judge and him swapped secret pedo ring signs and countersigns! Woooo ) I watched a couple of other Patriot "wackos" do it also on lesser matters. I have no idea if things have changed over 20 years . This is specific to my own experience in Calif. At the time . Things are different in different States .
A Cop that stops on a Traffic Matter has the discretion to to do three things, depending on circumstance and the attitudes involved . Let you go your way with with a warning, let you go on your own recognisances with a promise to appear by signing the ticket , or place you in custody "under arrest" .
DUI is a Priorable Criminal Offence and possible Felony, so you're headed for the can and can set there or obtain per-arraignment release via Bail or be released OR , depending .
In a Traffic matter, in any event, you've been "charged" by the Legal Capacity of an acting "3rd Level Civil Magistrate". ( witness that charges are never modified before appearance ) The Speedy Trial stuff kicks in .
( I used to enjoy the weekly "Court Report" in the local papers . Old Boys charged with Speeding, DUI, Wreckless Driving and sundry, having their charges reduced to Loud Muffler . Wonder how that worked exactly ? Hahaha )
I know a lot of States have no Speedy Trial limits on Infractions or Misdomeners, but Calif. did .
In Calif. it was 30 to 45 days, depending . The Cops set the initial appearance date to fit the Docket load and their individual court day schedule . The Burbank Cops were so efficient at revenue generation "Court" was backed up 60 days or more . It was so backed up even DWIs out on Bail were often set more than 45 days out . I expect this has changed since so may DUI's were in the cue special divisions have been set up to deal exclusively with the matters .
>2. what is the authority that the court clerk, bailiff, dog catcher have to have a "performance bond" as if they are workign on building project? It's bunk.<
Here you go trailing off again . I never said the dog etc. catcher needed a Bond . You're out of your depth here Prosecutor chicken . Need to pay better attention and bone up . You'll never pass this Bond lesson plan, let alone the whole Public Recording - Subscribed Official Oath and Bond curriculum .
We were concerned with specific Officials . It's under that Bond a Municipality, or other Government Subdivision is Indemnified, and recovers against the Office Holder for any damages awarded against the Municipality or Subdivision, for the individual Officers Mis or Malfeasance against a complaining Party . Public or Private .
Fidelity Law Association Journal, Vol. XII, October 2006
The Public Officials Bond—A Statutory Obligation Requiring "Faithful Performance," "Fidelity," and Flexibility
I. Introduction
This article discusses the various forms of and issues relating to public officials bonds. This relatively generic term relates to bonds that are issued by the public official and the surety jointly in favor of the governmental entity that the public official serves. These bonds are commonly required by statute and create a three-party relationship more common in the context of surety bonds. Also frequently discussed in the context of public officials are public employee dishonesty coverages and similar fidelity policies. These instruments typically include the traditional two-party relationship where the insurer issues a policy or bond agreeing with the insured to indemnify the insured for certain losses arising from the dishonesty or other enumerated conduct of its employees. The distinctions in terminology and coverages are important when considering and addressing the issues that arise upon the insured or assured public entity's loss arising from the conduct of a covered public official or employee.
II. Public Officials Bond—General A. STATUTORY FRAMEWORK
A public officials bond refers to an instrument "by which a public officer and a secondary obligor undertake to pay up to a fixed sum of money if the officer does not faithfully discharge the duties of his or her office."1 A statutory public officials bond is thus a public officials bond mandated by statute. Black's Law Dictionary defines "official bond" as "a bond given by a public officer, conditioned on the faithful performance of the duties of office."2 In the three-party surety structure, the public official is the principal, the bonding company is the surety (sometimes called the secondary obligor), and the government or, in many cases, the public being served by the official is the obligee. Statutory bond requirements are found within the individual state codes.3 They are typically interspersed throughout the code, although there is typically a "Public Officials" or "Public Office" chapter that has the general bond requirements and procedures as well as the authority for the issuance of such bonds. The requirements for the various individual officials, however, are found within the specific chapter relating to their office.4 As seen in Appendix A, there are a multitude of bonds that are either required or authorized under the various state statutes.5
In general, bonds for public officials that are required by statute
(hereinafter, "Official Bond[s]" or "Public Officials bond[s]") are
mandatory for all elected and most public officials. This can range from the governor to local school board members. Statutes may require an Official Bond for an individual public official or may allow a blanket bond for a group of officials, such as the members of the board of directors.6 Depending on the statutory language, an Official Bond may be a "faithful performance bond," "fidelity bond," "public employees blanket bond," or "public employee dishonesty policy." While "faithful performance" bonds are by far the most common Official Bonds, the others may also be statutorily required. Each of the types of bonds listed above, whether statutory or non-statutory, are discussed herein.
>3. Citizens grand juries have no power and aren't recognized. They may also be illegal and persons calling and organizing them could be behaving illegally in many ways. You may not like those laws, but that is something which should be obvious to you.<
Deemed "Illegal" ? So I understand . Expected knee jerk response to attacks, paper and physical, by misled Jury members .
Calling a Jury like Larry Klayman, Esq. I suppose . Former prosecutor with US Dept. of Justice ? Yep, he's one to watch out for no doubt .
So called Grand Juries have been neutered for a long time . Here's some ref. for a handle on the whole situation .
CREIGHTON LAW REVIEW, Vol. 33, No. 4 1999-2000, 821
Virginia Journal of Social Policy & The Law .
Despite its auspicious origins, the federal grand jury has become little more than a rubber stamp, indiscriminately authorizing prosecutorial decisions. At best, grand juries are passive entities whose existence burdens judicial efficiency and needlessly drains federal funds. At worst, grand juries' continued presence invidiously maintains the illusion of a community voice. This lulls corrective action and permits increased prosecutorial abuse.
The current status of state grand juries is more complex. Some states have maintained and even increased grand jury independence. Others have devolved into more passive institutions than their federal 68 counterparts. The dominant trend in both systems, however, demonstrates an historical transformation from juries that were once active and aggressive to weak and passive bodies that are utterly dependent upon prosecutors for guidance.
NOTICE to Citizens Jury Proponents : Your involvement will link you to some very unsavoury personalities and feared subject matters, know it or not . At least from the "Official" response point of view . Here's an fairly decent history concerning this and the Government's stance, not to scurrilous even, given the ADL source . Beware the claim of Posse Comitatus links.

>5. The UCC doesn't give you magical powers. * * * Or take a law school class - you can audit them at some law schools. It just flat doesn't do any of hte crap the sov cit types say it does.<
UCC magical powers ? Certainly don't disagree and I never even intimated it has any authority .
Except maybe where it ties into IRS goings on under FDCPA .
Three Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Resulted in Administrative Actions
U.S. Treasury Audit Reports . Reference Number: 2003-10-138
This report has cleared the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration disclosure review process and information determined to be restricted from public release has been redacted from this document.
This report presents the results of our Fiscal Year 2003 Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) review. The overall objective of this review was to obtain information on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) administrative and civil actions resulting from violations of the FDCPA. Section 1102(d)(1)(G) of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98) requires the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to include in one of its semiannual reports to the Congress information regarding any administrative or civil actions related to violations of the FDCPA. The semiannual report must provide a summary of such actions and include any judgments or awards granted.
In summary, our review of 44 cases coded as potential FDCPA violations identified 3 FDCPA violations that resulted in administrative actions and were closed during January 1 through December 31, 2002. However, there were no civil actions that resulted in the IRS paying monetary settlements to taxpayers because of an FDCPA violation.
Got my UCC introduction from Howard Freemen, then some research from the Johnathan Swift Society folks . Figured out quick it didn't apply as proffered . Specifically reference a code while expecting to defend against it's full provisions !? Go ahead and "Touch the Tar Baby", I'll see you on the news . Language is Language friends .
Law School class ? I occasionally wonder how my life would be different had I taken Mr. Ehrenfreund's offer . Terms : Full Scholarship to Para-Legal School, get Certified . Conditions : Fail, no fault no foul. Pass and Certificate, work for him at Defenders Inc., minimum wage three years . Maybe go on with help toward JD and BAR . Heck, I might have gone back to DC as Legislative Council or Aid to a HS / Collage running buddy that pulled a tour in the House . Who knows ?
Who cares actually ? I'd rather chat with the Loyolla Marymount Prof. of Constitutional Studies about Government in Trust, only to have him consider and agree to the Thesis assertions . Particularly agreeing Webster's 1828 could be Stipulated sole authority on the meaning and application of words in Constitutional matters . Being the Common Usage and Legal language of the document and all . Very satisfying .
Or corresponding with the Anglo-American Law Clerk at the Library of Congress . Lots of info can be obtained with a few pleasantly presented questions .
Better yet Process Service on Public Officials . The look of surprise is priceless . It was a particular kick to see the "Judges" scramble out of their office holes to avoid Ron Branson and I . Word travelled the halls of "Just Us" quickly that day . They really hate on the (Judicial Accountability Initiative Law>) J.A.I.L. 4 Judges "nuisance Patriot nonsense" .
>Finally, the system is very imperfect and most attorneys acknowledge that.<
Imperfect ? It's down right corrupted . How about the Los Angeles Family Court Lawyers Association ( think it was called ) Ran their little mutual admiration society under the city's Tax Exempt EIN . Presented themselves as officially recognised body by the applicable Regulations allowing such, after proper meetings and assignment . Come to find out only 3 of the dozen or more of these organisations using that EIN was actually voted upon and approved . Sounds like ID Theft and Racketeering to me . ( come on Member, cough up your Membership and Dues Tax write-offs . Judge Berobedson, we would like you to attend our next Dinner gathering and address us on the nuances of presenting in "Your Court". By the way, here's a little $10,000 Tax Exempt Honoraria for your time and trouble . Thanks Membership, ink-wink )
Enough on this already .
I "like" the common law ? That's a relative question . "Like" compared to what ? "Like" is a subjective emotional condition any way .
Common Law . It's what we have to work with if seeking any understanding or Equity in all this mess . It's the openly Claimed foundation of this Statutory morass . Statutes must be construed in harmony with existing Law, and it is / does when viewed through the "Common Law of Property" lens .

Parallels, the hosting and cloud services enablement leader, today announced that small and medium business (SMB) adoption of cloud services from its partners using Parallels Automation and the Application Packaging Standard (APS) grew by more than 80 percent in 2012. This growth was fueled by SMBs who are now using an average of four cloud applications each, along with more than 50 percent of the top 30 global telecommunications providers now using the Parallels cloud service delivery platform. This is in addition to the 9,000 service providers and more than 50,000 web designers and developers also using the company's software to serve millions of SMBs.
To continue enabling service providers to grow and increase their share of the SMB cloud market, which is expected to mushroom to $95B by 20151, Parallels is unveiling number of new products including a major update to the Application Packaging Standard. APS 2.0 now includes a pluggable single sign-on, service bus architecture, and customizable user interface enabling service providers to seamlessly offer differentiated bundles of cloud services with an easy purchase and activation experience. APS 2.0 will be integrated in Parallels Automation 5.5, which is expected to ship later this year, and will include more than 30 back-office improvements and new services such as support for Microsoft Lync 2013 Hosting Pack.
To help service providers manage their SMB customers' accelerating storage needs, Parallels announced Parallels Cloud Server and Parallels Cloud Storage. Parallels Cloud Storage turns existing unused disk space in servers into scalable, high-availability and high-performance distributed storage. It is now available as part of Parallels Cloud Server, which brings Parallels Virtuozzo Containers together with the company's world-class hypervisor technology into a single product.
In addition to these product announcements, Parallels also released usage data for its products. First, Parallels Plesk Panel 11 is the fastest adopted version in the company's history. Second, more than 100 Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have joined the APS ecosystem with new services in 2012. Finally, the Parallels service provider ecosystem has grown by more than 450 new partners over the past year. These updates combined with the new product announcements continue to make Parallels the catalyst for service providers to accelerate cloud adoption by SMBs.
"Parallels mission is to help service providers profit from the cloud. 2012 has been a breakthrough year for us in this regard," said Birger Steen, CEO of Parallels. "We have assisted service providers on all continents in crafting and executing cloud strategies, and we have enabled hundreds of new, useful cloud services for SMBs. We have continued extending our cloud service delivery platform: Parallels Cloud Storage dramatically reduces the cost of providing highly available storage. Parallels Automation 5.5 with APS 2.0 lets service providers deliver a seamless experience for SMBs buying multiple cloud services, with a library of more than 400 apps to choose from. We are more optimistic about our partners' success, as well as our own, than ever before."
"In working with hosters and service providers since the industry emerged in the late '90s, we have seen the acceleration of demand to create, deliver and manage bundled services for SMBs," said Serguei Beloussov, Chairman and Chief Architect of Parallels. "APS 2.0 is the game-changing technology that will make this happen across all Parallels products."
"SMBs are adopting cloud services at an accelerating rate, and they also have more choice than ever before in where to buy their cloud services," said Philbert Shih, Managing Director of Structure Research. "If service providers expect to stay relevant, they need to have access to actionable market research and analysis, the right enabling technologies, and a powerful partner ecosystem so they stay ahead of the competition. Parallels brings all of these requirements together in an integrated fashion specifically designed to help service providers succeed."
These announcements are being made in Las Vegas this week at Parallels Summit 2013. The event addresses all aspects of the company's service provider enablement solutions and business: Parallels service delivery software, expansion of the widest cloud services catalog, the broadest partner ecosystem, proprietary industry research and analysis, and a suite of go-to-market consulting and implementation services.
"During our evaluation process, it quickly became clear that Parallels was the only vendor that could offer us a proven off-the-shelf product and deploy it within a few months. In addition to the Parallels Automation platform, Parallels was able to provide us with the business consulting services we needed to configure it optimally for our offering and advise us on how to take it to market effectively in multiple countries. The fact that Parallels also has a very strong ecosystem of third-party partners, with applications that we can quickly and easily add to the platform over time, was also a key factor in our decision," said Rolf Magne Aasen, CTO at Telenor Business Internet Services." Throughout the entire process, Parallels has gone the extra mile to fulfill our requirements, and the team's 'can do attitude' enables rapid time to market across multiple geographies. We simply could not have met our demanding launch schedule without them, as well as develop such a complete offering for our next wave."
Next Generation of Cloud Service Delivery Software from Parallels
Parallels also announced new automation, virtualization and cloud storage products in addition to comprehensive enhancements to Parallels control panel products at Parallels Summit.
With Parallels software, service providers can manage infrastructure, automate provisioning and accurately bill for the widest range of cloud services for SMBs, while offering best-in-class control panels for self-service for the not only the provider but also for their resellers, IT administrators and end users. With a complete stack of cloud enablement software, Parallels can help service providers of any size offer SMBs the cloud services they need, ranging from shared hosting to hosted communications and collaboration to infrastructure-as-a-service to software-as-a-service. Products highlighted at the Summit included:
- Announcing APS 2.0: Parallels has significantly enhanced APS 2.0 to provide a secure, integrated and differentiated experience across all cloud services with service bus architecture, multi-factor authentication single sign-on, RESTful APIs, and HTML 5-based dynamic user interface.
"APS 2.0 takes the ability to integrate cloud services and create a seamless, unified experience for SMBs to the next level. It goes beyond software installation and defines a bus allowing independent cloud applications to interact," said Ruslan Fazlyev, CEO of Ecwid. "We are pleased to be in the early adopter program for APS 2.0."
- Announcing Parallels Automation 5.5: Parallels Automation 5.5 is expected to ship later this year and will have APS 2.0 built in and fully integrated. Navigation across billing and provisioning has been streamlined for an easy purchase and activation experience. The set of RESTful APIs has been expanded. New and updated core services include Linux and Windows Hosting, Microsoft Exchange 2013, Microsoft Lync 2013 and Cloud Infrastructure. This makes Parallels Automation the platform of choice for service providers and developers to innovate and differentiate.
"Parallels Automation combined with the APS standard, managed by KPN Software Online, form the underlying core technologies of KPN's Cloud Store," said KPN Omar Benameur." By eliminating the complexity of order delivery and payment processing, various KPN Business Units including KPN Wholesale, E-Plus and Base are able to aggressively recruit both service providers and ISVs to build out their own customized and diverse cloud marketplaces."
- Announcing Parallels Cloud Storage: Parallels Cloud Storage drastically reduces the cost of high-availability storage. Offered as a seamless upgrade for existing Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and Parallels Server customers, it will support third party virtualization technologies in 2013. Parallels Cloud Storage uses the existing unused disk space on server nodes to create a self-healing centralized storage pool for distributed, high-performance cloud storage.
"Parallels Cloud Server changes the game for VPS and cloud hosting," said David Collins, CTO of HostGator. "The way Parallels Cloud Storage utilizes unused disk space on the servers is the missing piece of the puzzle."
- Announcing Parallels Cloud Server: Parallels Cloud Server now makes it easy to offer all cloud infrastructure services customers want. It includes Parallels Virtuozzo Containers together with our world-class hypervisor technology and Parallels Cloud Storage, combing all of the pieces to enable best-in-class infrastructure services.
"We've been a global partner since 2005, offering a variety of virtualization solutions from Parallels in order to provide our customers with greater scalability," said Nathan Day, Chief Scientist for SoftLayer Technologies. "By extending our portfolio to include Parallels Cloud Server, we're enabling our customers to obtain high availability servers while reducing maintenance costs."
- Announcing Parallels Plesk Automation: Parallels Plesk Automation is a scalable, multi-server cloud automation solution enabling a seamless growth path for Parallels Plesk Panel customers to scale to thousands of servers and a wide range of services. It also provides the ability to centrally manage end customers.
"Never before has there been a company with a product line that can meet every cloud and hosting need from the small single domain on a virtual private server, to a provider that needs centralized management for many diverse servers, to the full customized automation platforms for the largest enterprise customer," said Stephen Evans, Director of Operations, APYL Inc. "With Parallels Plesk Automation, Parallels gives us the ability to grow and excel like never before."
- Parallels Presence Builder: With Parallels Presence Builder, service providers can attract new customers and differentiate their offerings. Parallels Presence Builder has hundreds of industry-specific site designs for SMB businesses along with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. In addition to integration with Parallels Plesk Panel, Parallels Plesk Automation and Parallels Automation, it now supports cPanel and provides full set of APIs to integrate with any in-house system.
"Parallels Presence Builder gives small business owners with no technology background at all the ability to quickly and easily create professional-looking websites," said Kathy Nelson, Chief Decision Maker at Ovaleye. One of Ovaleye's customers is a small business called Bellefleur, and the founder and owner, Jennifer Carroll, added, "With Parallels Presence Builder, you can build something yourself that looks good, feels good and gives your customers a good idea of who you are. You can customize it, brand it and get your point across without a big price tag."
- Parallels Plesk Panel: Parallels Plesk Panel 11 continues its march to being the fastest control panel adopted ever.
"Our partnership with Parallels, in particular with respect to the deployment of Parallels Plesk Panel and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, provides us with an efficient and cost-effective way to introduce new upstream services and grow our revenue opportunities," said Narayanan Ganeshan, Senior Manager, Cloud Operations, CtrlS. "It also allows us to offer our customers a value-added product that helps them to boost their profitability and operational efficiency."
New APS Certification Program for ISVs Supports Vast Expansion of Parallels Ecosystem
Over the past year, Parallels has expanded its ecosystem to include more than 450 new partnerships across the technology industry, including service providers such as Colt, Sprint and Telenor, leading resellers, and more than a hundred ISVs. The company's partner ecosystem is designed to allow service providers to offer and integrate the broadest and most flexible set of third party cloud services available in the market. New applications to the APS cloud catalog include: 5nine Cloud Backup, Monitoring and Firewall for Hyper-V, CakeMail, CertiVox SkyPin and PrivateSky, Cisco Webex, Gamasec, Identity Syncronizer, Luxcloud Hosted 365, Mailprotector Email Security & Management Suite, Mail2World, Microsoft Dynamics by Luxcloud, Minoto Video, Opero, Premier Global Services (PGi), Sonian. Enhanced applications in the APS cloud catalog include CloudFlare, Dell Quest, EMC Mozy, and Microsoft Lync 2010 SP2.
To provide users with the best possible user experience across this growing and diverse array of APS applications supporting Parallels products, the company is announcing a new Parallels APS certification program for ISVs. This program will also provide enhanced market opportunities for those ISVs who demonstrate via certification that their products have the highest possible quality of support for Parallels products. The certification program is a component of the newly launched Parallels Cloud Services Developer partner program. Details of the new programs will be available on the Parallels PartnerNet portal, which features news, forums, go-to-market tools and assets, training, and developer product licenses.
"With more than 80,000 business customers now relying on Mozy for cloud backup, we have become more focused than ever on selling Mozy through the channel – and our recently revamped Mozy Reseller Program and channel-friendly pricing and terms are a testament to this," said Simon Kingston, Director, Global Partners at Mozy. "Working with Parallels APS technology allows us to tap into the large and growing Parallels installed base of service providers. It's very easy for service providers to include Mozy in their offering."
"The combination of Parallels Automation and APS makes of the Hosted365 bundle the ultimate reseller opportunity," said Marco Houwen, CEO at LuxCloud. "No fewer than seven APS packages are used inside the Hosted365 bundle to give customers access to a complete set of applications, e-mail, website and Sharepoint."
"McAfee and its partners are working diligently to help SMBs be secure with simple-to-adopt cloud security solutions," said Craig Parrish, Vice President of SMB sales, McAfee. "Parallels Application Packaging Standard is compatible with McAfee cloud-based solutions including McAfee SaaS Email Protection, Email Archiving, Email Encryption, Web Protection and Endpoint, to simplify and automate cloud services enabling providers to leverage the cloud for profitability and security."
"Microsoft Lync APS integration with Parallels Automation is helping service providers accelerate time to revenue with faster deployments and scalable multi-tenant offer delivery," said Laura Howard, Sr. Director Lync Service Provider Engineering Team, Microsoft. "Service providers can now deliver rich Lync functionality, typically available to larger enterprises, to their SMB customers as a hosted service"

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Miandad turns down Pakistan batting coach offer
Submitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Sun, 04/10/2011 - 05:02
Karachi, April 10 : Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Director General Javed Miandad has declined the offer to take up the role of Pakistan's batting coach, limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi has said.
Afridi said that Miandad was asked to serve the national team as a batting coach, but he refused, Samaa TV reports.
Last week, Miandad had confirmed that PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt had contacted him to help the batsmen, but he had told Butt that he could not take official responsibilities as Pakistan's batting coach before the West Indies tour, starting from April 13.
"I have always made myself available to serve Pakistan cricket team in any way I could. I have told them that I would give tips to the players. But I can't take responsibilities as a batting coach before the West Indies series because there is no time left to do anything special," he was quoted, as telling PPI.
The veteran of 124 Tests and 237 one-dayers had also said that he does not feel right in intruding when a coach might already be working out his strategies with the team.
"Waqar (Younis) would be having his own plans and it doesn't look good to jump in meanwhile. So joining the team at such a time wouldn't do any good for the team," he said.
Miandad had also said that he was not an ardent supporter of the concept of having more than one coach, as it would confuse players.
"I think they (players) may find it difficult to connect with more than one person and it may lead to confusion," he had explained. (ANI)

SYDNEY--The Australian dollar's hefty month-long decline continued Thursday after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke hinted the central bank might start winding back economic stimulus in the coming months.
News of weaker Chinese manufacturing data for May also eroded support for the Australian dollar, sending it to fresh 11-month lows.
Late Thursday, the Aussie dollar was changing hands at US$0.9646, having traded as low as US$0.9626. The currency has fallen by more than 7% against the U.S. dollar since the start of May.
Rising expectations that the Fed is nudging toward some form of stimulus withdrawal, a cut in local interest rates to record lows, and signs that Australia's mining investment boom has peaked, have combined to weaken the currency.
Overnight Mr. Bernanke told lawmakers the Fed could start reducing its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program at one of its "next few meetings." The U.S. dollar has gained broadly since the comment.
In Asian trading, more unsettling news emerged on the Chinese economy, Australia's biggest trading partner.
HSBC's preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 49.6 in May, a seven-month low, compared to the final reading of 50.4 in April. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction in manufacturing activity.
"The latest Chinese economic data seems to suggest the pace of expansion has cooled even further in the last few months," said Craig James, chief economist at CommSec.
"The weaker flash reading on manufacturing suggests the pace of expansion has taken another leg lower in the June quarter," he added.
Downgrades on the Australian dollar's outlook continued to pour in, with expectations of weaker bulk commodity prices driving the calls.
Earlier Thursday, UBS downgraded its forecast for the currency saying it now expects the currency to end the year at US$0.9500 from an earlier target of US$1.0. UBS expects the currency to continue falling in 2014 to around US$0.9000.
AMP also announced a downward revision of the Australian dollar this week with Citigroup said to be in the process of rethinking its view.
In 2012, the Australian dollar ignored falls commodity prices as central banks lined up to buy the currency as part of their foreign reserve asset allocation. But market participants say that source of demand is now largely exhausted.
"The Australian dollar has weathered commodity price weakness before, but this time around portfolio inflows are too feeble to provide an effective counterbalance," said Scott Haslem, chief economist at UBS.
News that Ford Australia will exit car manufacturing in Australian in 2016 also weighed on the Australian dollar. The decision by Ford ends 90-years of production in Australia and will put 1,200 out of work.

Shop in July to find the best bargains in plants
July is the best month of the year to go shopping for plants.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
July is the best month of the year to go shopping for plants. Yes, folks, July. If you love a bargain (and who doesn't?) make a beeline right now to your friendly neighbourhood garden centre.
Why? Well, that hot new Summer Sky Coneflower you lusted after in spring is probably on sale now — at 40 per cent off. The same goes for native plants, ornamental grasses and other trendy perennials. Hanging baskets are drastically reduced too. Pick up a replacement for the one you were too lazy to water — usually for peanuts.
Bargains abound because the gardening business is more heavily dependent upon the weather than any other industry (except, perhaps, manufacturers of snowblowers). Once summer heat kicks in, everyone — growers, retail garden centres, even convenience stores flogging cellpacks of petunias — is eager to get rid of stuff that didn't move in spring.
Their loss is our gain. I've found some unbelievably cheap plant buys during July. Picking them out is also a leisurely exercise. There's plenty of time to ask questions and make an informed choice, because most garden centres are as deserted in July as downtown Toronto was during the SARS crisis.
However, while cruising among the racks, remember:
• Everything is likely to be dry as a bone — thanks to our hot summer and spending too long in plastic pots. So treat your purchases to a long drink the moment you get home.
• The best bet for small perennials is to put their pots in a kitty litter pan (unused by Fluffy, of course) and fill it halfway with water. Leave overnight. Watering from the bottom gets to plants' roots better than the top-down treatment from a watering can.
• For big, potted plants and shrubs, gently poke over the soil surface (likely hard and dry) with a hand tool to make it more receptive to water. Then train a hose on the container for several minutes.
• If plants have developed lots of long, leggy foliage — and most have — don't be afraid to chop it right back. Remove all flowers. (Don't worry, perennials will flower again — but probably not till next year.)
• In heatwaves, don't plant anything. Leave your bargains in the shade somewhere, still potted. Wait until the temperature cools down. Water well, but don't fertilize.
• Tempted by cheap plants on sale outside someone's house? Watch it. Most are fine, but check them over carefully. (I carted home a daylily once, then discovered too late that it was polluted with roots of goutweed.)
• Skip most veggie plants. It's too late to plant them now, because they won't mature before the frost.
Happy horticultural hunting.
