FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today shared an analysis of nearly a dozen global DDoS attacks that indicates cyber attackers are using DDoS attacks in an attempt to influence market values and interfere with exchange platforms. The Prolexic Security and Engineering Team (PLXsert) details the findings in a white paper, DDoS Attacks Against Global Markets, which was published today and can be downloaded at prolexic.com/ddos-markets.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140204/FL57636LOGO )
"Typically, DDoS attacks are launched to fuel public discourse, or for revenge, extortion and blackmail – but that is changing," said Stuart Scholly, president of Prolexic. "During the past few years in particular, DDoS attack campaigns have posed a significant threat to the financial services industry, as well as other publicly traded businesses and trading platforms. As part of our DDoS attack forensics, we have uncovered a disturbing trend: Many of these malicious attacks appear to be intent on lowering the target's stock price or currency values, or even temporarily preventing trades from taking place."
The public image of a global business or financial service is closely associated with its cyber presence. Taking a publicly traded firm or exchange platform offline – and spreading rumors that raise questions about its ability to conduct business online – can create false or misleading appearances. This is a hallmark of market manipulation. Overall, PLXsert found a direct relationship between DDoS cyber-attacks and a temporary change in the valuation of a company.
"A few specific cyber-terrorist groups are responsible for most of these attacks. So far they have not been successful in bringing down an entire major marketplace," explained Scholly. "But DDoS attacks keep getting bigger, stronger, longer and more sophisticated, so we cannot be complacent. What's more, the risk goes beyond the actual outage – social media chatter and media coverage can amplify the perceived effect, disruption and damage caused by a cyber-attack campaign."
The white paper reviews nearly a dozen DDoS attacks and the resulting market movements and provides insight into the malicious actor groups responsible for most of the attacks. The white paper is available to the public at prolexic.com/ddos-markets.

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...

Farrow: Central African Republic is failed state
GENEVA (AP) - UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow says the Central African Republic is a failed state on the verge of genocide, and she is calling for an expanded U.N.-authorized peacekeeping force.
The actress and activist, who has just returned from a weeklong trip to the country, on Thursday described the government as "useless."
"The seeds are present for a genocide," she said, echoing the assessment of U.N. officials.
"It's an abandoned population, because the world has looked away," she told reporters at the United Nations' European headquarters in Geneva.
Farrow showed pictures she took of children's drawings of gunmen shooting people, reflecting the country's lawlessness.
U.N. officials say the nation, one of the world's poorest with a long history of chaos and coups, has been collapsing since rebel groups joined forces to overthrow the president in March and put their leader in charge.
Human rights groups have accused rebel forces of committing scores of atrocities, widespread looting and conscription of child soldiers.
Farrow said a larger U.N.-authorized force with a stronger mandate is needed.
Last month, the U.N. Security Council unanimously backed a new African Union peacekeeping force, which was established in the country in July and has about 1,900 of its authorized 3,600 troops.
"When you see a failed state in that region it's a calling card to extremist groups," Farrow said.
Farrow previously visited the country representing the U.N. children's agency in 2007 and 2008.

Thanks Jeff. BTW you might also be interested in the podcast episode I did with Prof Geoff Scott of the Uni of Western Sydney. He has done years of research into graduate capabilities (aka values or attributes) It is fascinating stuff in the context of Technology Enhanced Learning and Teaching. This is what the respective industries in the market place want in graduates. Duh! Look at the list and ask yourself are they being developed instudents from HE or in education in general ... this is why mapping is so important. Are we equipping graduates to excel and make a difference .... hmmm! Have a look and listen to http://tinyurl.com/alsltblog. "If you exercise these capabilities ... you will be employed!" This sort of stuff makes the CAMERA method worth developing don't you think? regards Allan

Healthcare Australia agency nurse Jo Neophyton
Jo Neophyton has found her niche as a teacher in aged care.
After working as a nurse in paediatrics, radiology, a high dependency gastro intestinal unit, neurosurgery, day surgery, occupational health and safety, and plastic surgery and rehabilitation, the 44-year-old is now working as an aged care facilitator.
Jo divides her time between healthcare recruitment solutions provider Healthcare Australia's training organisation, NursEd, where she works as a trainer in manual handling and basic life support as well as being a clinical facilitator in aged care, and also as a trainer and facilitator in aged care at Sydney's Northern Beaches Community College.
"Initially there's resistance to wanting to work in aged care. Their eyes are set on maternity or that sharp end of nursing – A&E or ICU.
"They really end up liking aged care and they see how important it is that there are good nurses that are placed in aged care."
Jo's family is engrained in the healthcare sector. Jo's mother was a nurse and her father was a surgeon, while Jo's brother is a psychologist and she has several cousins who are doctors.
While Jo's family is proud she became a nurse, her father wanted her to become a teacher.
Now Jo has the best of both worlds.
Jo hopes to soon embark on post graduate study through the Royal College of Nursing with the aim of becoming a university lecturer, specialising in aged care.
"I love it. I would like to be talking to all the future RNs about what a great job it is and that they should look at aged care," she said.
"You can learn all of your basic nursing skills through aged care.
"It's all about connecting with the person you are working with and working as part of a team to make sure someone is going to have a really nice day.
"You can be social with your resident in the aged care setting; you can be involved in whatever they are doing. It's not all vital signs and physical nursing.
"It's being involved with them on an emotional level, as well as the physical and chronic conditions.
"It's an all-round good job that takes every factor into consideration and caring for somebody."

Quick Rick Perry....find a way to milk this and make yourself look tough.

Here in NC if a family moves from one county to another but still wants their child to attend the school they have been attending, even if it´s just over the county line, and the parents elect to drive their kids to school, they would have to pay tuition. Why are we not implementing these policies with illegals? Why should the taxpayers absorb all the costs of housing, feeding, medical and schooling illegal immigrants´ children?

No more pandering to Spanish Speakers.Children learn another language quickly by immersion - do it.Pandering to Spanish speakers only ghettoizes them.Mother grew up in poor neighborhood with some five languages in a class of 40.Teacher- a professional not some union thug- taught them proper English.Many went on to become teachers, lawyers , doctors, military officers and successful business people.They would not have succeeded in America if they had been taught in their native languages but kept in ghetto enclaves.UAC should be deported immediately.If their family is here - reunite and deport them all.

The Legislature in Texas meets every two years for six months, unless called into special session by the Governor.The money to fund schools is set in this biennial meeting. Nobody could have prepared for this onslaught of people believing that they would get "permisos" to stay here.So many young, unskilled and uneducated people are going to wreck this country. The majority of them already men and boys in their late teens, won´t be able to be educated in the schools for very long.This lawless liar-in-cheif is doing what he can to destabilize this country because it has been "unfair", and Texas has been a particular target because we succeed just fine without over-reaching federal government meddling.The schools in Texas with large numbers of hispanic students are generally struggling, and this influx of MORE people is going to make it even harder to adequately educate the kids.The teachers have to find a way to do this because that is their charge. I see a huge increase in retirees after this year.

When Skates on the Bay says its seating is on the water, it really means it. The restaurant juts out from the shore and extends on stilts into the bay, its floor-to-ceiling windows framing a landscape of sun, sea, and sailboats gracefully toward the marina or away from sea monsters' mouths.
Naturally, Skates' chefs specialize in local seafood. Alongside classics such as fresh oysters on the half shell and chowder made with Pacific Northwest clams, the chefs get creative. Here, for instance, nigiri might mean Applewood-perfumed scallops with smoked sea salt, or flame-charred halibut with shredded daikon. The menu also includes land-based options, such as char-grilled pork chops stuffed with Bing cherries and wild mushroom and grilled filet medallions oscar style, served with asparagus and crab with b?arnaise sauce
Teppanyaki chefs twirl their knives and ignite towers of flame while cooking meals tableside inside Hana Japan Steak & Seafood. They slice new york steaks, chicken, and salmon and toss scallops onto the grill alongside chopped veggies and mounds of rice, all without ruffling their tomato-red toques. Each hibachi dinner comes with a shrimp appetizer, a bowl of soup, and a salad with organic Hana dressing imported from Japan.
The walls at Currylicious exude the same orange and yellow hues as saffron and turmeric, which flavor its traditional Indian dishes. Appetizers include hearty veggie samosas and the kachumar salad, an intermingling of fresh garden veggies, herbs, and lime juice. Entrees such as chicken shahi korma and lamb karahi cool down spice with infusions of yogurt sauce and side helpings of naan. During pleasant weather, diners can sit outside, where they take in Oakland's scenic landscape, or season their meals with crushed sunshine.

When Don Disraeli and his wife, Randee, turned their attention to seafood retail in 1983, they considered more than their love of tasty fish. Drawing upon his PhD in Biology and her stint as a Scripps Institute of Oceanography researcher, the duo worked to ensure that each aspect of their business would be environmentally sustainable. Those standards are still upheld today, as Kanaloa Seafood remains one of the only North American and European seafood companies environmentally certified by the International Organization of Standardization.
Environmentally responsible fisheries supply the Disraelis with sushi-grade fish, which cutters clean and slice behind large viewing windows at Kanaloa Seafood's Santa Barbara and Napa storefronts. The succulent cuts are then sustainably packaged inside recyclable corrugated boxes. Every Monday to Friday, guests can procure fish ranging from wild-caught black cod to Hawaiian ahi tuna. Patrons who are unsure of what to pick from the vast assortment will be greeted by a knowledgable staff member who will assist in picking out an ideal choice. Kanaloa Seafood also distributes a variety of marinades, rubs, oils, and sauces, as well as prepared dishes from the staff chef.
Sample Menu
History: Legend has it that when the eatery originally opened, as The Oakdale Bar and Clam House, the structure stood completely on the water—until the earthquake in 1906 filled the Bay. Since then, the restaurant's gone through many changes, yet still stands on the same ground, making it SF's oldest restaurant still operating in its original location. When the current owners took over, they renovated the interior, yet kept the menu's most-loved dishes, such as the cioppino and the cup of hot clam broth that greets each diner upon arrival.
While You're Waiting
Inside Tip: Try the clam chowder; it's made with a recipe from The Oakdale Bar and Clam, dating back to the late 1800s.
While You're in the Neighborhood
Before: Find some new place settings at the Heritage House Tableware show room (2190 Palou Avenue), where more than 1,900 patterns are on display.
After: See what's in season at the Bayshore Farmers Market (300 Bayshore Boulevard).

In order to commemorate Veterans Day, Nissan paid special tribute to the United States Armed Forces by collaborating with the Wounded Warrior Project on a short film. Here at Mitchell Nissan, we're glad to be associated with an automaker that cares about giving back.
Available digitally on Hulu, Xbox Live, and the Nissan YouTube Channel, the film—titled Nissan Project Titan—focuses on two veterans, David Guzman and Kevin McMahon, travelling through the Alaskan wilderness. Outfitted with a customized Nissan Titan truck, the veterans were able to venture into the rugged wilderness on the ultimate adventure.
Just a few mins until #ProjectTitan on History2 Channel! Tune in & watch 2 vets tackle the ultimate Alaskan adventure pic.twitter.com/GstLgp6UJB
— Nissan (@NissanUSA) November 12, 2014
"When David Guzman and Kevin McMahon set out on this adventure, it was our goal to capture the excitement in a way that would truly represent the enthusiastic spirit of these American heroes alongside one of the toughest trucks on the planet," said Fred Diaz, Senior VP of Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations.
Although Guzman and McMahon encountered harsh weather conditions and difficult terrain, their training—paired with the specially equipped Titan's capability—was enough to push through several obstacles. For more information about the project, visit the Project Titan news page.

FamilyConnect: A Parent's Voice
FamilyConnect 2014 Holiday Guide Now AvailablePosted on 11/18/2014 at 4:18 PM
by Scott Truax
It is that time of year again that brings both joy and boundless levels of stress. We have put together a Holiday Guide for Parents of Children Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired that will help you get through the season.
Trying to find that perfect gift for your child who is blind? On the Holiday Guide we have collected several articles with tips and specific toy ideas. For that teen or adult you should browse the holiday issue of AFB's AccessWorld® for gifts with a technological twist. We also have links to a variety of agencies that have special gifts for people who are blind such as braille cards, jewelry, and more.
Don't let your child be a couch potato but use these ideas on sharing the holidays with your child who is visually impaired. We have just posted this article in our tips for parents on making cookies together, which is a great holiday time activity. On the other hand, a good audio described video is a nice way to spend a winter day. The American Council of the Blind maintains this list of audio described videos.
My hope is we strive for a blend of fun activities, active engagement, and creative down time as a family together.
Technology for Children with Visual ImpairmentPosted on 11/7/2014 at 3:22 PM
by Scott Truax
By Felicity Dryer
Today we are posting a blog written by Felicity Dryer who is sharing her thoughts on technology.
Every parent, particularly those raising a special needs child, wants not just the best, but the very best for their child. With special needs technology advancing at such a rapid pace, the possibility of reaching and applying such progress may very well be possible.
What's Out There?
Assistive technology (AT) now offers a long list of applications that have changed the lives of children and their families forever. These advancements include braille printers, voice activated devices, audio books, and other talking technology as well as large print texts, screen readers and magnifiers (easy zoom in/zoom out tech).
Refer to your child's educational facility for their access to AT. If budget is a challenge, get involved in a fundraising program as well as raise awareness for technology on the horizon.
You Have a Say
Much legislation has been passed regarding special needs access to various tools and helpful additions. The Assistive Technology Act (ATA) is one which is intended to ensure that people with disabilities have access to assistive technology devices and services.
Contact your local government office to see what your state offers regarding your child's visually impairment. You may be surprised at the help you get from your civil servants.
It's Getting Better
Manufacturing products for a variety of physical and mental challenges often falls into the hands of free enterprise making supply and demand the ruling factor. Therefore, it may be difficult to find certain AT for visually challenged children.
Working with educators; resource platforms (organizations, social media and web/consumer sites); and word-of-mouth, you can get the latest in AT.
Hopefully as more demand continues, it brings future AT to visually impaired and blind children. Some of these even go beyond basic, practical applications such as those mentioned above and incorporate amazing tactile innovations along with some fun thrown too.
The invention of the 3D Printer has opened a whole new world for so many industries including medical, textile and yes, special needs. According to a report by Science Daily, "Using the technology, not only braille books, but also braille picture books and teaching materials can be made with greater flexibility in color, height and size."
These braille picture books offer more interesting reading as they can now include 3D models of topography, miniature furniture, fruit, and anything else to bring tactile reading to a whole new level. In addition to adding this technology to reading, it can also be used to create all sorts of crafts and models for parent/child quality time.
Audio Communication Boards
One struggle for the visually impaired is being able to participate in community boards. Whether social media or other platforms like craigslist, being able to participate can help these children increase self-esteem, dignity and a sense of belonging.
A screen reader app and braille keyboard can help join these sites. Plus, don't be afraid to search for a (or start your own) Audio-Skype Community Board.
For Kicks
Entertainment for visually impaired kids should be parallel with their peers. This is special needs tech which, with the use of an audio response device like VoiceOver, exercises imagination, thought formation, problem solving and more.
Some of these cost a few bucks while others are free. These games include:
- Interactive Story Apps—These are stories where a child can become leader of their clan and even crowned King. Some titles are: King Dragon Pass and Frotz
- Silly Fun—These games take away all seriousness as players run from crazy acorns in Stem Stumper or test their gesture reflexes with Zany Touch
- Classics—Voice activated chess or cards are easily found complete with tutorials and thousands of variations
- Brain Stimulators—There's even trivia, puzzles, word games and electronic casino. Look for titles like: De Steno Games, 7 Little Words and Moxie
- It Goes On—There are many other apps covering sports, music, podcasts, and more
Special needs tech keeps morphing from one benefit to the next. Stay on top of what your visually impaired child may be able to excel with. Just seeing the awe written all over their face is worth every effort.
The Disconnect and a New Phrase, "Not Collaborative"Posted on 11/4/2014 at 5:06 PM
by Susan Harper
There is such an amazing lack of information or disconnect in the general public regarding vision issues and education. I am always amazed, but I guess I shouldn't be. I find myself educating. Most of the time it is lack of understanding, rather than malice that drives the misunderstanding.
It has been a rather interesting beginning to our new homeschool year. For the first time in 3 years (we are beginning our 4th homeschool year with our visually impaired son), we took a month off in the summer with no services. I took 2 and 1/2 months off from teaching. The break was so needed by me.
We are very fortunate to have the providers we have. Even though they have not worked with a blind child before, they are more than willing to learn. We share information and articles along with suggestions. Because we are not bound by an IEP, we can adjust as the situation warrants easily and timely, usually.
The TVI and I decided last year we needed some input regarding Vinnie's expressive language issues. We have a great speech therapist, but she didn't have any suggestions. The TVI suggested another speech therapist who has some expertise working with children who are visually impaired with atypically developing speech. The TVI related she'd had good success with this therapist. But there was a glitch. She doesn't accept Maine Care (Maine's version of Medicaid.) Okay, so where do I find funding?
I read a lot of newsletters and other publications that come my way to keep up on what's new and interesting related to my children's needs. So I read in a Maine newsletter about some funding available when insurances doesn't cover, to provide for an unmet need. Well, I was sure that this was the case with our need to consult a specialist.
Of course, I went right to work and obtained an application. I asked if I needed a case manager, because the application had to be signed by a case manager. I was assured that I could sign the application. I was told to send a cover letter outlining my request and an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and/or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP), with reference related to the need. Since we homeschool, the person getting the application related that the IFSP for section 28 (a program to provide a 1:1 for children with developmental/behavioral needs) services would do. That, it turned out, was the easy part.
Then there were questions about the IFSP for section 28. Where was the Axis I and Axis II diagnosis? I was told my son wasn't entitled to the section 28 services. My head hurt at this point and you can guess my frustration was pretty high. Finally, the application person went to the director of the section 28 program and it was explained. Again, the "disconnect" and lack of knowledge about visual impairment and blindness issues.
The request for funding was followed by a series of phone calls asking for more information regarding why I need this specialized service for my son. I answered and followed up with the additional information. The person I was working with had no knowledge about services for a child who was visually impaired, evaluations, nor was there a clear understanding regarding special education regulations. Finally, I asked for a written list of information in writing regarding what was lacking in my application. At this point I was told that if I had a case manager (I worked for 7 years as a case manager, but things do change), that person would know about these things I was asking. Anyway, after again following up I believed we (because by this time, my TVI had also written a supporting letter as well as the speech consultant with specifics about what, how, when, where, and how much the service would cost) had submitted everything. We were led to believe that the funding would be approved. That was August and September. The "disconnect" in understanding the needs and what was really required continued.
At the end of September, the request was denied because the IFSP had expired 3 days before. I could have gone back and gotten it renewed, but it is coming into flu season and the boys can't go to the program because of communicable stuff and it started early this year. We have a doctor's letter so the section 28 spot stay open. I decided not to go through all the hassle, because I was sure there would be yet another request. We were not communicating well at all and continued with our "disconnect." Actually when all was finished, I got an email saying I was "not collaborative." I'm thinking she meant I wasn't very cooperative and there is no appeal process. "HUH!"
I did follow up and request a sample of what would be acceptable with regard to an IEP or IFSP. I was told that the service would have to be written into the plan, stating the need. Our group talked. There is no way that anyone is going to put something like that in an IEP or IFSP because they then become responsible. Again that "disconnect."
So we've all learned something as well as a new term, "Not Collaborative." Yes, I'm smiling. It makes a good story. It also reminds me again, why we homeschool.
"And now for the rest of the story," as Paul Harvey used to say. I went back to the state of adoption and asked if they could help. I talked with a really nice lady who also had twins who were premature. She said if I sent her the material, she'd run it by the review committee that week. I put my husband to work scanning and off it went. I got an email 2 days later with my funding request approved. If we find this helpful and need additional services, we can reapply. A happy ending after the "disconnect" and my "lack of collaboration." Best of, all Vinnie is going to get the service/consult we need to move forward.

Pathways to Independence for Teens Who Are Visually ImpairedPosted on 10/31/2014 at 4:20 PM
by Scott Truax
As a celebration of October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we have launched a series of articles written for parents about issues in employment and career awareness. In the Transition to Independence section for each age group on the FamilyConnect site, the new articles explain how families can and do contribute to the work to prepare children for employment as adults.
As a final salute to NDEAM, we bring you the selections for teens who are blind or have low vision. In the previous age groups we discussed the everyday things that build skills and awareness of careers and employment. Teenagers are at the point where they can fully participate with the information and coursework made available to them through AFB's CareerConnect® web program. Families need to be aware of the activities that their children should be taking part in so they will be prepared to transition from public school into college or work.
Please follow the links here to explore the activities for teens and their families.

- Preparing for College with Visual Impairment
- Job Exploration for Adolescents who are Blind

But I Haven't Been to HollandPosted on 10/21/2014 at 5:12 PM
by Scott Truax
I would like to introduce Stacey Dodd as a parent who has submitted the following blog. You may follow her on her blog Minding Thomas.
I had never heard of the well-known essay 'Welcome to Holland' until it was mentioned to me via a former work colleague upon finding out how my boy was doing. It was suggested for me to read and I honestly didn't bother with it. I ended up coming across the essay through a national support network's booklet, 'Stories to tell.' I read it and I could relate to it for sure. I wondered about that last sentence and how we come to a certain point along this journey where we realize that we have to make a decision as to whether or not we want to stop mourning the loss of the dreams we had or hold onto it. I think that this is all very well to say but it's not that easy is it?
It never really leaves you. The feeling of loss. The eternal grief. The worry you feel when you fear to nod off to sleep at night. Will my boy have a seizure while I sleep? Will I hear him on the monitor? Will he walk? Talk? No one can answer this, not even an MRI or a neurologist. Just wait and see they say. Those words cut deep. Deep where the pain of loss and grief reside. Those words are so easy for them to say. They have to say it because what else can they really say? This is probably why I can't let go. Because I'm waiting to see? Wait and see what exactly? What my son can or can't do? I think there comes a point where you do accept that you have no idea what the future is anymore but it doesn't ever mean it's okay. It just means, for now, I'll get through today, and the next day, heck or maybe the next hour. Never week by week.
Yes, you go through ups and downs, but more often so when you are a special needs parent. You become numb with grief having been through the stages of grief over and over. You may spend more time at certain stages of grief, and that I believe depends on you as an individual. We all cope in our own ways. If someone asked me how I've coped, I would just say, I got on with it. We do this simply because we have to. We have no other choice. We have to keep pushing on for the sake of our son. We need to be strong for him. I have to be strong for him. He depends on me. I have to keep it together while I can. I can cry later. Sometimes, with all the medical visits, hopsital stays, new treatments or diagnoses you become like a deer in the headlights. Stunned with disbelief or something like that. Some days, you're wired enough to be on the ready with a trillion questions and energy to research every side effect of a new drug. You give up trying to remember names of nurses, simply because there are so many that you end up meeting. It's overwhelming. I could go on and on.
So, yes, as the essay says, you end up somewhere unexpected. You did not plan to be there. You have nowhere to turn, maybe to find the exit, a way out. Maybe press 'rewind'. No. You have no choice. You stay where you're put and you get on with it the best way you know how which is pretty much anyway you like. It is a lonely place, especially in the beginning when you really need the guidance. Somehow, you find your way about. You do meet some lovely people who help you along your way. You become an ace with the language of special needs. Eventually you find a way to forget what the future was supposed to look like once upon a time and you focus on the 'cans'. What can I do to help my son? Where can I seek help or guidance? How can I get through a difficult day? What can I do to help others? How can I meet others? What can my son do that I can celebrate? What can I do to make a difference?
Can you do the can can?

CenturyLink Installing Bloom Fuel Cells
A CenturyLink data center in California will be powered by fuel cells capable of generating 500 kW. The Bloom Energy fuel cells located onsite will operate independently of the power grid.
The fuel cells are expected to produce nearly 4.4 million kWh of annual electricity, helping power cloud, managed hosting and colocation services housed within the data center, located in Irvine, Calif., and operated by CenturyLink company Savvis.
The Bloom Energy Servers use fuel cells to generate electricity through a clean electrochemical process using air and natural gas. The company has found a market in telecommunications, where uninterrupted power supplies are demanded.
Bloom Energy has experienced a growing demand for its Mission Critical solution, which will be installed at the Savvis California location. It expects to be profitable this year. This configuration enables CenturyLink to receive primary power for its critical loads from Bloom Energy Servers, protecting those loads from electrical outages without the need for backup UPS and generator systems. The Bloom system will be fully operational in early to mid-2014.
Bloom Energy provides solid oxide fuel cell technology generating onsite power from multiple fuel sources.
CenturyLink, the third-largest telecommunications company in the US, provides data, voice and managed services in local, national and select international markets through its fiber optic network and multiple data centers. The company said the fuel cells allow it to pursue its technology evolution without sacrificing its sustainability commitment.
One comment on "CenturyLink Installing Bloom Fuel Cells"
I am interested in a Bloom Box for my home and to be off grid.
Please advise as to availability.

1140cc, 88bhp, 125mph, Insurance group
There's no arguing that Honda has succeeded in producing what it set out to do. The CB11 is a beautiful recreation of an aircooled inline four; it's easy to handle and novice friendly and it has fantastic detailing inspired by bikes of old. It's a beautiful ornament and I can see many style or classic-conscious buyers who maybe want something ...
798cc, 125bhp, 148mph, Insurance group 16
MV has now positioned the Brutale 675 as the entry-level bike in the range with the bigger, four-cylinder 1090R and 1090RRs capping the range. The Brutale 800 now occupies a gap in the middle. This is not a bike for novices; the power-to-weight ratio makes for some seriously impressive performance. The engine is a dominant part of the package and ...
1197cc, 130bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 13
Powered by a brand new, Aprilia-built 1197cc V-twin engine and fitted with ATC (Aprilia Traction Control), variable throttle maps and ABS, the Dorsoduro 1200 challenges big supertmotos like the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 Evo and KTM 990 SMR head-on. It's more grown-up than its rivals and doesn't have the instant 'wow-factor' like a supermoto should. It's on the heavy side and ...
1078cc, 154bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 17
Don't think that this is just 'another' Brutale: the new 1078RR is very, very different. The Italian firm has been known to release a bewildering number of Brutale variants since the first 750 was released in 2003. As well as that original 750 and the later 910, there have been 'S' and 'R' versions and commemorative bikes, like the ones ...

Ever suffer an injury from something cool, like a ninja throwing star, chainsaw, or butcher knife?

I love the new hair. she looks great!
4 years
This girl has been blessed with gorgeous features. But I just noticed that her cuteness factor comes from her head being a little on the small side. Dunno whether that's good or bad :-) She is thin, so the small head works, but if she puts on any weight she'll be in trouble. Anyway, she's beautiful and she really really made it... so I guess she'll be able to stay just as beautiful, cute, thin, etc.etc.etc. forever

Kristen is always beautiful - but I prefer her auburn hair over this strawberry blonde. Maybe if they soften the dark eye makeup it would help. But she looks fabulous, as always.

Long Lankin
A collection of short stories from the early years of Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville's career, Long Lankin explores the passionate emotions—fear, jealousy, desire—that course beneath the surface of everyday life. From a couple at risk of being torn apart by the allure of wealth to an old man's descent into nature, the tales in this collection showcase the talents that launched Banville onto the literary scene. Offering a unique insight into the mind of "one of the great living masters of English-language prose" (Los Angeles Times), these nine haunting sketches stand alone as canny observations on the turbulence of the human condition.

No, the joke is that the whole newspaper (including the headline at the top) is from a song, a song about irony, with arguably the worst lineup of "ironic" situations ever created. The artist even said they were mostly bad examples of irony because that in itself was ironic, but most people agree that's ******** .
