TVLAX Mission StatementTualatin Valley Youth Lacrosse League (TVYLL) was formed by a group of Oregon Youth Lacrosse Clubs who saw a need to coordinate various club activities and policies for the common benefit of their respective members. Each Club servers a single High School attendance area as defined by the Beaverton School District (BSD). Member clubs collaborate with their respective high school lacrosse programs to the mutual benefit of kids, coaches, and parents.Each member club provides two representatives, as board members, to manage TVYLL. The member clubs are:Aloha Youth LacrosseBeaverton Beavers Youth LacrosseSouthridge Skyhawks Youth LacrosseSunset Youth LacrosseWestview Youth Lacrosse
The TVYLL programs are primarily instructional in nature. However there are options to compete on select teams as well.

Reading a good book is a lot like tasting a delicious recipe. The flavors and textures are so remarkable, so distinct, that one can hardly wait to share bites with others to hear their responses.
For the avid readers in Walla Walla's many book clubs, a desire to share the flavors and textures of books draws members together. But when it comes to the reasons why they value the experience, books are only half of the story.
Book club members enjoy the intellectual and social stimulation that a diverse group of people provides and the sense of camaraderie that develops as they meet.
Removed from the years of reading for school, it's easy and somewhat natural to become surrounded by people and information that are comfortable, that suit a person's particular philosophy and lifestyle. One doesn't have to be challenged.
But book club discussions can revive a spirit of exploration and appreciation of the unfamiliar - all from the comfort of a cozy chair with a cup of tea or a glass of wine in hand and a bite of dessert on the tongue.
"I look forward to the personal background comments that add a richness to a book or topic that I would never discover on my own," shares Linda Brown, member of a book club established through the American Association of University Women.
"There is a depth of connection during discussions that I don't find in many of my other activities. Reading is powerful, exhausting, challenging and fun! Sharing all of that is more so."
Alice MacDonald, also a member of the AAUW group, concurs.
"Being nudged to read something I might not have chosen but found delightful (or not) is a good reason to belong. Hearing about a book, an author, or a place I might not have known anything about is part of lifelong learning and I've gained something from attending even if I haven't read the book. Learning to be tolerant and accepting of other people's opinions is an important and ongoing life lesson, and we have certainly entertained many diverse feelings, thoughts and opinions in our meetings."
The AAUW book club has been meeting for 28 years, evolving and changing over time to include a second club that meets over lunch rather than evenings.
The group attracts a large cross-section of the community with diverse ages, professions and interests.
At the Walla Walla Country Club, an evening discussion over drinks led to the formation of a book group that has been meeting for two years. This group has paired some of its refreshments with specific books, such as kimchi and beef bulgogi for a discussion of "Honolulu" by Alan Brennert, aquavit for Steig Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and English biscuits for "One Day" by David Nicholls.
The group reads the selection chosen for entering first-year Whitman College students at the end of each summer to take advantage of the author visits to campus in the fall, such as Thomas Mullen's "The Last Town on Earth."
Member Sara Michelson shares, "Personally, I like the pressure of having to finish a book … it keeps me motivated to read on a daily basis and so does a good book!"
Most book clubs follow a similar format. Members take turns choosing books, leading discussion and sometimes hosting the group in their homes. Forgiveness is granted to those who haven't managed to get through the book and attendance is encouraged regardless.
Some discussion leaders strive to provide interesting background information on the book and author, then allow the discussion to flow from there. Some books are purchased new, while others are checked out from local libraries or gleaned from the used shelves of Earthlight Books and other bookstores.
After years of reading selections from her out-of-town sisters' book clubs, Jennifer Eskil started a local book club in 2004. Starting with a group of women she knew who liked to read, she expanded by introducing herself to women she saw with books in hand. In addition to monthly meetings, this group has an annual four-day "Ski and Read" trip to a family cabin that allows members time to enjoy both passions.
Recent favorite reads from this group include "Loving Frank" by Nancy Horan, "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese and "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.
The next generation of book club women are cutting their teeth in two mother-daughter book clubs in town, one made up of sixth-grade girls and one with fourth-graders.
Book choices for these groups are largely determined by the girls' interests, with a maternal eye for content that will be conducive to good discussion. In addition to having lots of fun, the girls gain experience with sharing their opinions in a small group - especially if they felt strongly about a book.
"I like that everyone, moms and daughters, can share what they liked and disliked about the book. I also think it's awesome that everyone gets a chance to choose a book to read as a group," says Stella Gryler, sixth-grader at Garrison Middle School.
Mothers and daughters remarked on the special bond that reading the same book creates.
"It's really fun when both mothers and daughters can read fun books together and get to know a different side of each other," says Katie Jo Harvey, a fourth-grader at Sharpstein Elementary School. Mothers enjoy the opportunity to hear their daughters interact with their peers and share their thoughts and feelings on different topics in a non-intrusive way.
More than any other benefit, book clubs give readers an excuse to ignore the dishes, the dust bunnies and the cares of the day and get lost in the pages of a book, in the name of being prepared for the next gathering.
And that makes any book lover's day.
Book Club Resources
The Walla Walla Public Library and other local libraries have book club starter kits for loan.
Online book reviews and finalist lists for the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Newbury Award (for children's literature) are good places to find good reads.
Ask your bookstore if they give a discount for book club orders. Book and Game offers a 10 percent discount.

Wooohooo! SUCCESS!
Installed your "pair of packages", and it worked.
Now appear to have a functioning lucisave.3fs file.
I think I'll make a remaster of Luci once all the tweaking is finished, and make a CD-R with it, and use it for online banking.
This'll be the 1st time I've done such a thing.
Aught I to re-master using the CD WITH or WITHOUT pmedia=ataflash included?
Since there wouldn't be any saving back to a CD-R anyway?
Cannot get the following packages to install...
Neither using PPM...
Nor the PET files held on a Flash Drive:
Nor can mounted PFS's [drives] be dismounted.
Nor will the luci shutdown using the "Menu->shutdown-Power-off computer".
Switched to using the CD-RW that hasn't had the pmedia=ataflash modification, and the above problems disappeared.
WINE and pwidgets now installed, and shutdown/reboot works OK.
Strange that the "Save..." icon is still on the desktop, although only the 1st of the 2 dialogs appears when I click it; not sure if it's functioning/saving.
Pwidgets won't display the rambar, or CPUgraph, only puppylinux, clock_analog, calendar.
No Xload display at bottom right.
Hmmm, looks like I've made a real mess of this.
Tried to remaster, but there is no display of the optical disk on the desktop.
May need to scrap the lucisave, and start afresh using the CD with no pmedia=ataflash.

Eyes-Only, Sylvander,
Thanks for your encouragement. The "lupu" pair of packages should also support 3-headed-dog and contain a significant set of changes to the shutdown script. Please try them on your 3HD systems (although not your main ones). If I am to work on shutdown issues, we need to start with the fixes made so far.
Initially, try the pair without the added pets in the "kit". Once you are satisfied that all is well, feel free to add the others to implement frisbee and the new network_tray.
Note that I have re-uploaded the "not_usr" package (part 2). To better accommodate 3HD, I updated the pinstall script to remove the USB3 driver (if installed in 3HD), which is compiled only for the 18.104.22.168 kernel. If anyone has xhci.ko compiled for kernel 188.8.131.52, please PM it to me so I can add it to the "not_usr" pet. The only link I see for the kernel source does not seem to work -- it times out -- so I cannot compile it myself.
"Lucid Pup was the best version ever! That's why I'm still using it on my computer to this day even if it's somewhat dated..."
Now that I have gotten this far, I am open to recommendations on the most important components to upgrade or add, to make Lucid Pup continue to be desirable. Keep in mind, though, that I do not have playdayz' skills at resolving issues with new items. So, we need to focus on components that are safe to add, or can easily be made so, and can be tested/verified by someone besides me. I plan to start with recent woof fixes to add to the ones I have already included.

Lupu-528.005 was my number-1 Puppy...
Until I bought a new PC in 2012...
And Lupu wouldn't boot on it.
So I moved on to Slacko-18.104.22.168...
And then discovered Precise-5.6.1, which is now my number-1.
But I decided to give "3-Headed-Dog" another try last night.
[luci-001.005.iso with pmedia=ataflash modification previously made and stored]
It looked like it was going to be all go, BUT...
Couldn't get it to make a lucisave file at shutdown/reboot.
Used simplepupsave [in a 2nd Puppy] to make an empty lucisave.3fs file in a folder beside the 2 SFS files that were previously working OK, but Luci didn't like that at bootup.
I'd previously tried using simplepupsave to make a lucisave within the running Luci, but that didn't work either.
Seems I cannot get it to "just work".

Still Rerwin, I'm
very, very
interested in your idea of a Lucid-5.28.6 if you're still willing to compile and roll/offer the .iso file. Not that I'm still using Lucid myself - although I very happily use the derivative 3HD - I'd appreciate having a copy of said .iso for my files. Plus, I'm sure you've come across as many people on this forum as I have who to this day are writing, "Lucid Pup was the best version ever! That's why I'm still using it on my computer to this day even if it's somewhat dated..." I'm sure
very much appreciate the upgrade as well, eh?
Food for thought at least?

Post subject: Upgrades for Lucid Pup, at last!
Fellow fans of Lucid Pup 5.2.8,
It has been my intent for a long time to provide an easy way to upgrade lupu to add various fixes made in woof. I also wanted to try the new frisbee-1.1 and network_tray-2.7 in lupu. I seem to have succeeded.
I created separate packages for the puppy-infrastucture changes for the standard "lupu" and the "lupuplus" versions of Lucid Pup. The lupu package has to be split into two sub-packages to keep them smaller than the 256K attachment size constraint -- One has the /usr directory, the other everything else. The lupu pair also applies to the three-headed-dog derivative, because it is essentially the standard lupu but with a later kernel. (Since lupuplus already contains many of the components in the "plus" package, its package meets the attachment size constraint.)
So, install the "lupu" package pair to update the non-plus (lupu) installations and the lupuplus package for lupuplus and lupupluslibre. The result is the same for both cases (except that a lupu installation will not have the wifi drivers previously included in the lupupluses).
Then, install some packages from the wary/precise library to add frisbee and the newest network_tray. For downloading convenience, I collected the 5 essential packages into a tarball "kit". Or you can download each of them by using these links:
To include the "examples" documentation for gtkdialog4, download it from
Although I have tried this upgrade on one of my lupu setups without issue, I recommend trying it on a nonessential puppy installation to satisfy yourself that it is solid, before upgrading your primary Lucid Pup installation. Once we have some experience with the updates, I plan to remaster a "18.104.22.168" ISO file, now that I have a mediafire.com account to host the large files.
Note that this frisbee implementation is incompatible with the "beta" Frisbee packages. It is best to install frisbee-1.1 only to installations that have not had the Frisbee beta installed. Next best is to uninstall any "beta" Frisbee before installing "1.1".
To remove some of the mystery about the fixes since lupuplus-528-005 (also included for "lupu"), here they are:
- mount - #120103 shinobar: need 'silent' option for ntfs-3g, avoid err msgs, permissions lost when copy.
- 99-notify - Provides network state change popups for frisbee of if activated for other network managers
- all-firmware/wl.tar.gz - improves loading of Broadcom wireless drivers
- wmexit, wmpoweroff, wmreboot - #120425 appears to prevent misbehavior in full installation.
- cups/backend/pdf-writer - #130126 correct detection of puppy linux distro.
- AppRun - #110505 support sudo for non-root user; #130104 add frisbee control interface; #130117 remove redundant CURREXEC test, per shinobar
- petget/pkg_chooser.sh - #120418 shinobar's internationalization fix
- petget/removepreview.sh - #120121 shinobar: allow space chars in the "files" list paths
- connectwizard - internationalized by rodin.s; #101206 pupdial_wizard_helper now called from pupdial; #111022 added hostname-set button; #111028 put hostname entry box directly in this wizard, internationalised; #111106 do not use $HOSTNAME, as hostname-set may have just been run; #120823 add frisbee interface; #120823 get correct pid in wait loop
- connectwizard_2nd - #100810 moved SNS to top choice, improved messages; #120201 rodin.s: internationalized; #121029 added interface to integrated frisbee.
- pmodemdiag - diagnostic logging improvement
pupdial, modemdisconnect, pgprs - communication added for new network_tray
- snapmergepuppy - correct handling of /dev/snd directory
- xorgwrapper.sh - avoid insignificant error message
- installpkg.sh - #130305 ensure tmp directory has all permissions after package expansion.
- variconlinks (used by fixmenus) - #130728 correct patterns for xpm/png files only, avoid directory
Added "delta" package to correct omissions in the "188.8.131.52" packages. Adds internationalization and dhcpcd-dropwait interfaces (so networking can work), as well as USB3 support during bootup, correction of the usb_modeswitch interface and corrections of kernel version tests to handle kernels 3.x in 4 scripts.

I looked into this and compiled gtkdialog-0.8.3 into a 900K+ executable! The version included in precise pup is less than 200K. Not knowing how to cut down the result, I tried simply using the precise/wary gtkdialog4 pet package in lucid pup. It seems to work just fine!
That package and the "examples" for it are here:
That led me to complete my effort to make frisbee and the new network_tray available to lucid pup 5.2.8 along with my accumulation of fixes taken from woof. See my next posting.

Thanks for this re-write Moose! I always had a "sneaking suspicion" that psync v-1.0 had some sort of errors in it as I never could get it to behave quite "right" on any of my computers no matter what. And I always had the right locale set ( America/New York or America/Eastern when no other choice ), the bios was always properly set... yet psync would consistently reset my clock either four hours fast or slow. A great idea but I had to quit using it as it became rather frustrating. Looking forward to trying your v.2.0!
Thanks for your dedication and work my Fellow Puppian Friend!

Post subject: massive changes to psync
Subject description: Basically, this is a complete rewrite that started as a bug fix
This pet is written to upgrade a system and also be cleanly removed when uninstalled. It remembers the files created by the older version and puts them back if you remove it.
I added the feature of having psync run by pschedule so that people who leave their systems running for long periods can have their clocks stay reasonable. It is no replacement for "ntpd" but good enough for a user work station.
I opted to make the GUI be forced on and report the problem if either the startup case or the pschedule case runs into trouble. For example if during startup, your network may not be working. If that is the case, it detects it and invites you to run the wizard. This way, the clock on you PC won't just be mysteriously wrong.
BTW: If the author of pschedule is reading this: I like it but I found a bug. When I get a little time again, I will document the problem in a "bug" comment for it.

I've just done a full install of Lucid 5.28 FAT (i.e. with LibreOffice) and it's working fine except for the spell checking in both AbiWord and Libre Office, which in each case seems to be fussy about what kind of document it operates on, so I've further installed Softmaker Free Office which works really well in Lucid. I've also added a couple of extra browsers such as Iron and SeaMonkey as I like to have the choice of a non-Mozilla based browser and I think SeaMonkey is lighter on resources than Firefox. Iron is based closely on Chromium except that its settings are modified for extra security.
All this on a twelve year old computer! We sometimes forget (or I do anyway, though I try not to) how lucky we are with Puppy.

The reason I make use of Lucid Puppy or Lupu 528-005
is that the way I set it up is beyond me to set up on other Puppies.
I don't even know how to set up nother Lupu that way. the knowledge is gone
I fail to know how to ask google or ask foru, I would ahve start all over
and ask and ask and ask for each detail. That did happen now yesterday
when FatDog reset my hardware clock two hours I had no memory of how to set it right again. Early dementia in my brain?
Some weeks ago I knew how to change FF19 to FF20 now I have no clue
on how to change from FF20 to FF21

As a staff announcer at NBC for 60 years, Don Pardo was a robust, velvety virtuoso of enunciation, whose baritone resonated like the aftertaste of a full-bodied fine wine. His trademark gig was performing the introductions at the beginning of each episode of Saturday Night Live, which he did for all but one season between the show's debut in October 1975 and its most recent season finale in May. Pardo, who died on Aug. 18 at age 96 in …

Eli Wallach is burned into our memories as the "Ugly" in Sergio Leone's 1966 spaghetti western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. As Tuco Ramírez, the malevolent but clownish bandit who tangles with a bounty hunter (Clint Eastwood) and a cold-blooded killer (Lee Van Cleef) over a cache of Confederate gold, Wallach gave a performance that was lauded as "inspired" by critic Roger Ebert, who wrote that "Wallach took this low-rent role seriously and made something evocative out of it." …

Let's just proclaim Tom Hanks America's Official Historian. The first TV program Hanks ever produced was the monumental miniseries From Earth to the Moon (1998). His G.I. dramas Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010) remain the definitive World War II miniseries. And now he's the executive producer of CNN's ambitious attempt to crystalize the most turbulent decade of the past half-century, the 10-part documentary series The Sixties. CNN has made a few episodes available to the press for …

Back in late 1950s and early 1960s, one of the coolest series on the tube was 77 Sunset Strip, a stylish variation on hard-boiled detective noir infused with wise-cracking hipster humor – sort of Raymond Chandler meets the Rat Pack, set in what TV historian Horace Newcomb describes as "a sun-drenched world of cocktails, cool jazz and convertibles." The show's star was Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who, as suave detective Stuart "Stu" Bailey, deftly tangled with tough guys, charmed beautiful dames and unraveled mysteries …

On April 22, the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments in a lawsuit that some think will determine the future of television – or, at the very least, whether you can watch local TV news and broadcast channels over the Internet, without having to buy a cable TV subscription. The case involves Aereo, a two-year-old New York-based start-up that offers a new way to watch TV. Aereo captures signals from broadcast TV stations on banks of antennas located close to the …

Without Sid Caesar, we might not have had Saturday Night Live. In the early days of TV, some comedians simply got on camera and performed the same slapstick routines that had been a hit for them on Vaudeville, while others tried to replicate the situation comedy of radio shows. But Caesar, who passed away on Feb. 12 at age 91 in Beverly Hills, Calif., pioneered a new way to make us laugh in the age of television. >> Sign up for the …

insulation smell in my house
i'm hoping someone can help. recently installed some roxul insulation in the rec room and applied a vapor barrier and drywall. since the installation, there is a persistent insulation/musty smell throughout the upstairs. no idea why it has not gone away...
i have forced air heating...thinking it's coming through the ducts? i don't know? any clues to help me? i'm at a loss after weeks now
thank you :)
Chinese drywall?
when you did this work did you create a lost of dust that may have settled in the ductwork?
the first thing i did was clean the ducts and disinfect after the work...the smell just seems to still emit...
I took a whiff of Roxul this morning and smelled nothing. Don't think it's that.
the drywall is a mold resistant variety...thanks to all for helping and comments :)

I continue to be amazed that there is very little public outrage at the breadth and depth of the NSA data aggregation on virtually all US citizens. I assume that´s because so far nobody feels personally threatened.That´s a huge mistake. This data aggregation is a very dangerous future threat to every single one of us. It´s only a matter of time before that threat becomes real. The degree to which any one of us can be intimidated, harassed, ruined financially, or otherwise damaged will be shocking...but too late, if action isn´t taken soon.Once people intent on having power over us learn how to use it, they will not be willing to give it up. We must demand that this policy be overturned and the aggregate database be destroyed before it is too late.

People have been told for a couple of years now to NOT put family or children´s pictures on Facebook. Yet I always hear the same whine, "but our family is scattered and it´s the only way we can keep in touch."OK fine. The then SHUT UP about losing your privacy. SHUT UP about your pictures or your children´s pictures being used for ads or that child molesters can find them.OH yes, there are programs where they can take a child´s picture and determine where they live, which house, and some can even pinpoint which bedroom they sleep in.But what the hang fire do you care? You ignore it all then complain when something bad happens.I´m sorry but I have NO empathy or sympathy for you...just SHUT UP.

"...a tragedy that became a national scandal. Graced by David McCullough's remarkable gift for writing richly textured, sympathetic social history, The Johnstown Flood is an absorbing, classic portrait of life in nineteenth-century America, of overweening confidence, of energy, and of tragedy. It also offers a powerful historical lesson for our century and all times: the danger of assuming that because people are in positions of responsibility they are necessarily behaving responsibly."

December will see the return of our much-loved festive extravaganza, Christmas with the Stars at the Royal Albert Hall.
Christmas with the Stars
Join us once again at the Royal Albert Hall for the much-loved Christmas with the Stars, taking place on Tuesday 9 December 2014.
Radio 2 'Listen to the Band' presenter Frank Renton will be hosting a celebrity packed evening of Christmas favourites. Accompanied by his very own Concert Brass, the British State Fanfare Trumpeters, Sydenham High School Choir and the grand organ from the Royal Albert Hall, this special evening is guaranteed to be full of fun, surprises and Christmas cheer.
Last year we had spectacular performances from an array of stars, including Caroline Quentin, Ian Kelsey, The Overtones, Waterloo Road's Heather Peace, Emmerdale's Natalie Anderson and Tom Lister, Eastenders' Neil McDermott as well as Phaldut Sharma, who performed a Christmas tap dance in our grand finale.
Join us this December to find out who's topping the bill at what's set to be another fantastic show. Tickets are on sale now from the Royal Albert Hall Box Office on 0207 589 8212.
If you'd like further information about this event in the meantime, please do get in touch with Rebecca on email@example.com.
Event detailsDate: Tuesday, 09 December 2014Time: Starts at 7:30 pmLocation:
The Royal Albert Hall,
Kensington Gore,
Sydenham High School Choir
We are delighted to have the vocal talents of the Sydenham High School Choir joining us once again for Christmas with the Stars.
Last year the 300 strong choir, our biggest yet, was made up of puils, staff, parents and friends of the school. As the School celebrated their 125th Anniversary, they chose to raise money for 3 charities, one of which being Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.
Through various activities they raised a truly incredible £10,000 which Head Teacher, Kathryn Pullen, along with school representatives Aysha Waheed and Paula Torren (pictured below) presented to Chief Executive, Cathy Gilman, on the night.
Their achievements over the past year have been truly inspirational and the money they raised made a vital contribution to our research into beating blood cancers.
We look forward to welcoming the Sydenham High School Choir once again this year.

The Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center and Cray Inc. signed a contract for a next-generation supercomputer to support scientific discovery at the DOE's Office of Science.
Using Intel's next-generation Intel Xeon Phi processor, the new Cray XC system will deliver 10 times the sustained computing capability of NERSC's Hopper system, a Cray XE6 supercomputer,
The new processor, — code-named "Knights Landing" — is a self-hosted, many-core processor with on-package high-bandwidth memory that delivers more than 3 teraFLOPS of double-precision peak performance per single socket node, says Cray. Delivery is scheduled for mid-2016.
To highlight its commitment to advancing research, NERSC names its supercomputers after noted scientists. The new system will be named "Cori" in honor of bio-chemist and Nobel Laureate Gerty Cori, the first American woman to receive a Nobel Prize in science.
NERSC Director Sudip Dosanjh said the new supercomputer "will provide a significant increase in capability for our users and will provide a platform for transitioning our very broad user community to energy-efficient, many-core architectures. It will also let users analyze large quantities of data being transferred to NERSC from DOE's experimental facilities."
Cori will have over 9300 Knights Landing compute nodes and provide over 400 gigabytes per second of I/O bandwidth and 28 petabytes of disk space. The contract also includes an option for a "Burst Buffer," a layer of NVRAM that would move data more quickly between processor and disk, allowing users to make the most efficient use of the system while saving energy. The Cray XC system features the Aries high-performance interconnect linking the processors, which also increases efficiency.
Cori will be installed directly into the new Computational Research and Theory facility currently being constructed on the main Berkeley Lab campus.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick announced a $3 million capital investment in the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC) project, a university-industry collaboration designed to create a new public cloud infrastructure to spur big data innovation.
Unlike existing proprietary public clouds, where all of the technology is controlled by a single entity, the goal of the MOC is to establish a marketplace where hardware capacity, software and services can be supplied, purchased and resold by many participants.
The MOC will provide a range of services, including infrastructure as a service, which offers on-demand access to virtual machines, as well as application development and big data platform services via the cloud.
MOC is hosted at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke.
The MOC project is a collaboration that draws from all five MGHPCC universities, including overall project leadership from Boston University, operational leadership from Harvard University, development from Northeastern University, community building from MIT and related research by faculty from the University of Massachusetts, Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard University and MIT.
Industry partners, including Cisco, EMC, SGI, Red Hat, Juniper, Canonical, Dell, Intel, Mellanox, Brocade, DataDirect Networks, Mathworks, Plexxi, Cambridge Computer Services, Enterprise DB and Riverbed are contributing engineering and operational talent, equipment, financial support and business guidance. The hardware platform for the Massachusetts Open Cloud will be housed at the MGHPCC.
Gov. Patrick also announced the 2014 Mass Big Data Report, which confirms the continued growth and competitiveness of the commonwealth's big data industry.
"Massachusetts' competitive edge lies in our exceptional academic institutions, cutting-edge private companies, highly-skilled workforce and above all our willingness to work together to address the increasing demand for big data solutions," said Governor Patrick.
Overall, the report finds that the global big data market is expected to top $48 billion by 2017, up from $11.6 billion in 2012. While hardware and services are expected to continue to account for the greatest share of revenue, the fastest growing sector is likely to be in big data-enabled applications.
For Massachusetts, big data applications in healthcare, life sciences and financial services appear highly promising, and local firms are seeking to fill as many as 3,000 big data-related jobs in the region over the next 12 months.

With the federal government expected to spend $13.95 trillion on healthcare-related operations and programs through 2024, increasing attention is being given to technology that can improve health care outcomes and cut costs.
To that end, IBM announced new investments in its US Federal Healthcare Practice, adding big data services for advanced clinical care from its IBM Watson Group and a new collaborations with IBM Research focused on data management.
"Government leaders recognize that there is a tremendous opportunity to combine new and existing data sources with advancements in technology to find innovative ways to build a sustainable and affordable healthcare system," said Anne Altman, General Manager, IBM US Federal.
The solutions from the Watson Group include:
IBM Watson Engagement Advisor to manage interactions and experiences with patients.
IBM Watson Discovery Advisor to identify insights into diseases and innovative therapies, and speed medical research.
IBM Watson Explorer designed to consolidate and visualize information and help users uncover and share data-driven insights more easily.
The data management program for healthcare, called IBM Advanced Care Insights, uses the company's analytics, predictive modeling and natural language processing to extract trends in unstructured data such as physician notes, lab results and other narrative content within electronic health record systems.
IBM also announced that it has added Keith Salzman, M.D., to the team as chief medical information officer for IBM Federal. Dr. Salzman, early pioneer in health IT for the Army, comes to IBM from CACI.

Pierce County, Wash., has consolidated 911 systems and emergency response centers across five local jurisdictions in order to streamline dispatch and rescue operations as well as standardize on the technology that supports them.
South Sound 911, the resulting "interlocal agency," consolidates multiple public safety answering points (PSAPs) for police, fire and emergency medical services across the state's second most populous county.
The interlocal agency, drawn from Pierce County, the city of Tacoma, the city of Lakewood, the city of Fife as well as West Pierce Fire and Rescue, will tie in 911 and dispatch for 16 law enforcement agencies and 22 fire departments.
South Sound 911 is the result of a collaboration between 911 centers and the local community. In November 2011, Pierce County residents voted for a 0.1% sales tax increase to support public safety. With the community's support, five 911 centers are consolidating, and an integrated radio system will be built.
"Interoperability, information sharing and standardization are some of the key capabilities we sought to support South Sound 911's mission and vision," said Andrew Neiditz, executive director of South Sound 911.
To deliver those services, the county recently acquired a set of technologies from Intergraph Corp., including a computer-aided dispatch system and a suite of mobile, mapping and analytics applications.
The company's I/CAD system replaces prior multiple disparate systems with a multisite, multijurisdictional, multidiscipline capability to public safety teams across the state, according to Neiditz.
The system integrates call management and dispatch with analytical, mapping and mobile applications. Intergraph EdgeFrontier integration software manages interfacing and integration between the public safety agencies.
In addition to I/CAD, Intergraph mobile technologies for laptops, tablets and smartphones will allow personnel in the field to exchange dispatch messages, view incident details and query databases.
The company's Mobile Responder, Mobile for Public Safety, I/Netviewer, I/NetDispatcher and I/Tracker provide Web and mobile dispatching capabilities, while its BI Direct and Incident Analyst features enable reporting and analytical applications, according to Intergraph.
"This technology will allow us to assign resources from any or all agencies to a single incident providing better protection for our first responders and safer communities," said Neiditz.

Agency IT managers wrestling to keep applications current with frequent browser and OS updates may see some relief in Internet Explorer 11. The browser's new "Enterprise Mode" feature aims to address compatibility issues.
An IE 11 browser running Enterprise Mode can automatically switch to emulate older Microsoft browser technologies, such as IE 8 technology, without requiring an action from an end user, if it's set up to work that way. As described by Microsoft, Enterprise Mode potentially could ameliorate upgrade problems associated with older IE technologies.
"Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11 may not fix all compatibility problems, but does work for many of the most common issues," Microsoft explained in a blog post. "Most importantly, this is an area of continued investment for Microsoft and is a significant step towards helping customers stay up-to-date with the latest version of Internet Explorer."
Enterprise Mode is also conceived as a way for Microsoft to break the dependencies that organizations may have for continuing to use IE 8. According to Microsoft, organizations "chose to standardize on Internet Explorer 8 to help ease the migration to Windows 7." IE 8 was the last version of Microsoft's browser that was supported on the now unsupported Windows XP OS.
In theory, with IE 11 Enterprise Mode, it's possible to have the performance and security benefits of using Microsoft's newer browser without having to remediate corporate Web apps based on older IE 8 technologies. Enterprise Mode specifically provides a "compatibility view" for IE 8-based sites and apps and it may also support older technologies, such as IE 7, according to Microsoft. It does so by "replicating the original Internet Explorer 8 user agent string" and mimicking IE 8's ActiveX responses. It also dispenses with "some vestiges of proprietary functionality" in IE 8, per Microsoft. Lastly, Enterprise Mode turns off some IE 11 features that don't work when emulating older IE browser technologies. For instance, an improved tab-switching capability in IE 11 doesn't work right with IE 8-based technologies.
IT pros get some controls over the use of Enterprise Mode. For instance, they can specify whether end users can use the Enterprise Mode feature or not. It's also possible to use Group Policy to designate which sites will run with Enterprise Mode turned on and which sites won't.

It happened on Christopher Street near Bedford Street Friday morning.
Police say that the victim, who works as a super, left his Dodge Ram running while he shoveled snow.
That's when a man in his 20s allegedly walked up, flashed a gun and then drove off in the victim's car.
The victim was not harmed.
Police are combing through surveillance video to identify the suspect.

I am allergic to milk and milk products, not just lactose intolerant, but allergic. As many times as I've tried, I just can't tolerate whey, casein, milk, cottage cheese, etc. (migraines, the runs, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, sinuses . . . )
I had been supplementing with non-GMO Soy Isolate Powder (Supro) from Vitamin World and tolerated it pretty well. I quit taking it after reading all the horror stories about it growing tits, making any of my future kids gay, causing global warming, etc., etc.
I can only eat so many chicken breasts, eggs and cans of tuna a day. Is Soy that bad for men that I should not drink 2-3 protein drinks of it a day? It's a whole hell of a lot harder to get enough protein without it.

Stylish alternative to the city centre mainstreamPosted Nov 17, 2014
Pros: Smart, clean, well equipped, comfortable. Modern feel with appealing and individual period charm.
Cons: Restaurant's closed on Saturday, but then again, I'm sure you'll be out on the town anyway.
Maybe not the obvious choice for a London weekend getaway as the City is pretty much closed, but then transport is so easy - if you are willing to trade a few minutes more on the tube for more style and comfort, this is for you.

Great Hotel, Great LocationPosted Nov 3, 2014
Pros: Quality
Excellent Hotel, staff are friendly, efficient and very helpful. Rooms are large, very clean with excellent amenities, especially the large bathroom with bath + separate shower. Breakfast is excellent. Great location, situated 5 minutes from Bank underground station.

Threadneedles, LondonPosted Oct 13, 2014
Pros: Proximity to tube station. Very quiet.
Stayed on a Friday night. All staff very helpful, polite and friendly. Very nice modern decoration in a historic building. Room was spotlessly clean. After an evening in the west end, we arrived back at the hotel at approx 10.35 p.m to be informed that last orders at the bar were being taken and the bar closed at 11.00 pm. Drinks were still available to guests beyond this if ordered via reception and could be served in the lounge area ( we were the only two people in the lounge) or to your room. Located a few hundred yards from Bank tube station which was very convenient as there was not a great deal to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. I would stay again and would recommend.

Wonderful, beautiful, superb hotelPosted Oct 7, 2014
Pros: everyting
Cons: n/a
Location: East London. Near the Gherkin and walking distane to the Tower of London. Good local shopping and amazing architecture nearby.
Absolutely fabulous. Welcomed with a glass of Proseco. Amazing room, clean, comfortable, modern. Fantastic location. Staff amazingly helpful. Can't rate it highly enough.

Very nice hotelPosted Sep 27, 2014
Pros: The service, the quality, and care taken with the comfort of the bedroom
Cons: We only had one night at the hotel, so had little time to assess for improvements
Location: The hotel is in the centre of the City and all restaurants and pubs in the area are closed from Friday afternoon till Monday. Close to St Paul's.
Very nice hotel. Bedroom was extremely comfortable, with good quality bed linen. Had difficulty working the coffee maker, but this was soon sorted by the very pleasant reception staff.
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom San Jose
Nice but expensivePosted Sep 23, 2014
Pros: Everything! No complaints except for the price.
Cons: Hmmm.
Location: Great location in inner city London.
The Threadneedle is a great hotel. The only complaint I could make would be the price. Spend the night when you want to be pampered and don't care about how much you are spending.

A great hotel for the last 2 nights of our 2 weekPosted Sep 19, 2014
Pros: It's beautiful! We loved the room, anfd the deep bathtub.
Location: We took the tube to areas nearby for shopping and touring.
The hotel is in the financial district. It was gorgeous, the room was very comfortable and had all of the amenities we needed. THere was a semi-loud gathering of business people in the alley below our window at the close of business each night, but it was not bothersome with the windows closed, and everyone dispersed early. There was a problem with the satellite, so we were unable to watch movies on the television. When I called the desk, they gave us a complimentary breakfast the next morning. The waffles with fruit are delicious! There is a nice deep bathtub that's great for sioaking after a long day.It's a bit out of the way, but the tube is nearby, and very easy to use. I would definitely recommend this hotel. We loved it!

First rate experiencePosted Aug 28, 2014 on Hotels.com
Great hotel, friendly helpful staff. Really enjoyable weekend break in lovely surroundings
for Familiesby Helene bfrom Halifax
Check inPosted Aug 19, 2014 on Hotels.com
We arrived for a 2pm to check-in at 2.20 to be advised our room was not ready and could we return in 40 to 45 minutes. We did this to find the room allocated was not as described and I was advised the hotel was full so no other room was available. We were eventually offered another room which we took . The room was better but the king sized bed consisted of a king size base with 2 single mattresses, not expected in a supposed 5* hotel. My initial impression of this hotel was not very good. I travelled with my 13 year old daughter and got the impression that the initial service received reflected on the fact that due to our appearance we obviously do not frequent this type of hotel on a regular basis. I would certainly hope that this is not the usual level of service provided on check-in. The hotel service did improve considerably during our stay and overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Hayden Panettiere was recently seen out and about with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, but the actress says the two are simply good friends.
"I swear I'm not dating him at all. Honestly. I'm a huge Jets fan and became very good friends with him and his buddies," Hayden told Us.
"I've always been that girl who has a lot of dude friends. I'm into sports so we have a lot in common, but no, definitely 100% not dating."
"There's genuinely, absolutely nothing going on."
Panettiere and Sanchez have shared a few laughs over the recent relationship rumors, the 21-year-old actress tells the gossip publication.
"Every person that I stand next to in this industry, I'm going to be linked to - that's just inevitably the way it goes," the Scream 4 star says.
