Prior to Y2K, during our spare time as gun magazine editors, two colleagues and I idly argued over what would constitute the ideal "Omega Man" gun, referring to the Boris Sagal-directed, post-apocalyptic science fiction movie The Omega Man, starring our beloved Charlton Heston.
I have obviously dated myself by referencing such an old movie. Today, the Omega Man gun would be described as the firearm for the Zombie Apocalypse.
The idea of the Omega Man gun was simple enough: What would be the one firearm to have in the event of a total social breakdown? Don't think of anything as common as an earthquake, hurricane, financial collapse or NFL lock-out. No, we're talking about a major event here, like a super volcano, nuclear holocaust or viral epidemic—a game-changer. What would be the best firearm to have in that (hopefully) unlikely event?
Sure, there are guilty pleasure movies like Zombieland, but there are also highbrow meditations on the subject, such as Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning novel "The Road." And, if you indulged in either, you probably gave some thought to the kind of gun you'd like to have in that situation. Why? In most books and movies of the sort, the protagonist's problems could likely be remedied with the right gun. Have you ever noticed that a "psycho killer" movie never has an NRA member among the pool of potential victims?
At the time, not only could we not settle on a gun; we couldn't even agree on a caliber. One selected the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO, as he was former military, while the other editor, an armchair military historian, opted for the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO. I went with the historian.
However, all these years later, I think I just may have stumbled on the exact right firearm for the Omega Man/Zombie Apocalypse scenario.
It is the ArmaLite AR-10 Carbine, specifically the 10A4CBNF 1913, accessorized with a Grip Pod and an ELCAN SpecterDR 1.5-6x scope. Here's why.
Reputedly, the 5.56 wasn't designed to kill, but to wound. In the conventional wars anticipated at the time of the round's adoption, killing an enemy combatant was considered inferior to wounding him. Killing him put him out of the fight, but wounding him put him out along with the one or two comrades who had to help him from the battlefield.
Furthermore, studies determined that small unit firefights were most often won by sheer firepower. Putting a lot of lead in the air caused the opposition to "melt away." Thus, producing a withering hail of bullets could be more important than the efficacy of the individual rounds, and it is easier to carry and fire a lot of 5.56 mm than it is 7.62 mm cartridges.
The problem, though, is none of that applies in the Omega Man scenario. Your opponent may not have comrades to carry him off the battlefield. They'll be no Evac choppers, no ambulances, no aid stations or hospitals. How can you place a strain on resources that don't exist? It would likely be every man for himself, so you don't want to wound. You want to put your opponent down to stay.
Firepower? Do you really mean to waste ammunition when cartridges are now arguably the most valuable commodity in the world? Each bullet would be so precious that the idea of suppressive fire would be inconceivable. The sniper credo of "one shot, one kill" would be espoused by every survivor lucky enough to be armed.
And what about range? While the 5.56 can be accurate out to 600 yards, it usually requires specialized ammunition at that range and, even then, its terminal effect is questionable. Regular military ball will be hard enough to find in our scenario; forget about specialized rounds. However, 7.62 is good at close range and can more easily make longer shots, and do so with better terminal ballistics.
And since you'd be abandoning the city for safety and to locate food-supermarkets will have been among the first things looted-a rifle wouldn't be only a combat tool. You'd probably have to hunt, too, and the 7.62 is a better caliber for deer, antelope, elk, etc.
You could find yourself anywhere from the mountains to the plains, from forests to deserts, targeting everything from opossums to armored vehicles, so you'd need a versatile round. Given those criteria, the 7.62 would be the way to go.
Additionally, in the interim since Y2K, the AR has ventured into the hunting fields with much success, such that virtually every major manufacturer is offering AR platforms in big-game calibers, often painted in camo colors.

Time is running out for the Orioles, who lost to the New York Yankees 6-5 on Thursday night.
Brendan Ryan scored the tiebreaking run in the ninth on a wild pitch by Jim Johnson.
Baltimore is 4-4 on their current homestand and are now 1 1/2 games behind the Yanks in the AL Wild Card race.
The Tampa Bay Rays won to move 2 1/2 games ahead of the O's.
"This is where everybody steps up their game – or we go home," said Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts. "That is kind of the bottom line."
After beating New York in the first game of the four-game series on Monday, Baltimore needed to win just one of the next three contests to take the season series for the first time since 1997.
Instead, the Yankees escaped with a 10-9 edge this year.

EPIRB - Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon.
The ACR 2844 Category II GlobalFix PRO 406 GPS Epirb is a must have safety device for anyone boating, cruising or fishing in a large lake or off the coast. The primary job for an EPIRB is to send a distress signal to the SARSAT (Search And Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking) satellite system. The ACR 2844 Global Fix Pro 406 is a category II manual release EPIRB. A manual release EPIRB is perfect for a ditch bag or mounting in an out-of-the-way place like in a console or under a hard top. Manual EPIRBs are designed to be activated by the user by flipping a switch located on the top of the unit. Category II EPIRBs can also activate if they are removed from the included bracket and submerged in water.
The bonus with the Pro 406 is the built in GPS sensor. When the EPRIB is activated and the distress signal sent, your LAT/LON position will transmit with the distress call creating a much smaller search area down to .05NM radius as compared to 2.3NM radius with a conventional EPIRB. The GPS encoded signal will also be picked up by higher level satellites within 15 minutes of sending. Similar units without GPS can take up to one hour, which can be a lifetime of waiting. The Pro 406 can also interface with an External GPS via NMEA 0183 to provide location prior to activation which ensures Lat/Lon transmission immediately.
Strobe Light and Transmit Time
The built-in bright LED strobe light consumes less energy than a traditional strobe without sacraficing intensity and most importantly, the Pro 406 EPIRB will transmit for a minimum of 48 hours at -20C degrees.

Diebold decides not to build new headquarters
Permanent link
NORTH CANTON, Ohio (10/26/12)--Diebold Inc. is suspending indefinitely its plans to construct a new global headquarters facility, the company announced.
Diebold will focus its resources and strategic direction on generating long-term, sustainable growth, using its assets to capitalize on acquisitions and invest in technologies and services that will help grow the business, the company said.
Diebold is a CUNA Strategic Services provider.
The company has no plans to pursue new construction options for its global headquarters facility, either in Ohio or elsewhere, and is committed to remaining in its current location in Green, Ohio. Diebold will decline the various state and local financial incentives it was previously offered, and allow those assets to be redirected to other programs that will benefit its state and region.
On April 12, 2011, Diebold had announced its plans to construct a new, consolidated corporate campus to expand its global headquarters in the Akron/Canton region. In January, the company announced that it chose a 55-acre site in Green as its preferred site.
"As we've been analyzing our near- and long-term growth priorities, it has become clear that investing more than $100 million in a headquarters facility is not economically feasible given the other priorities for the business at this time," said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president/CEO. "We have tremendous opportunities for growth, both through acquisition and organic means. Therefore, we must ensure that we maintain adequate capital flexibility to take advantage of these prospects that will position us for long-term growth."
The recently announced acquisitions of logical security and services businesses in Brazil and Turkey and the need to spend on information technology and services infrastructure, software and global shared services, represent the kinds of investments Diebold is making to grow, the company said.
During the next several years, Diebold will update and enhance the company's existing headquarters in Green and other facilities in the area to create a more sustainable, satisfying work environment for its associates, the company said.

CU Business Group reaches 400-CU milestone
Permanent link
PORTLAND, Ore. (10/26/12)--CU Business Group (CUBG), a business services credit union services organization based in Portland, Ore., has signed on 28 new credit unions in this year, and now services more than 400 credit union clients in 44 states.
Click for larger view
CUBG's new credit unions range in size from $18 million to $50 billion in assets. The company averages three new credit union sign-ons per month, it said.
"Our organization is set up to help credit unions of any size with their business services needs," said Larry Middleman, CUBG president/CEO. "That can mean anything from helping them get their program off the ground to performing a third party review of their entire portfolio, and everything in between."
CUBG recently started offering many services a la carte rather than as part of a product package.
"One credit union may need help with every step of underwriting, loan docs and servicing, while another may simply need to use us as a backroom processor to get the financial spreads done," Middleman said. "Likewise on the deposit side, a credit union may need our whole package of treasury management services--including systems, policies, and procedures; another may simply be looking for a sample policy template. Either way, we can help."
In an average month, CUBG's underwriters review $50 million in member business loans (MBL) and $25 million in participation loans for credit unions. The CUSO also performs 60 annual reviews and prepares an average of 120 sets of loan documents each month.
CUBG continues to see increased interest in Small Business Administration lending and participations, and the need for independent third party reviews of MBL programs and portfolios.
The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and credit unions are urging Congress to increase credit unions' MBL cap to 27.5% of assets from 12.25% so that more loans could be made to small businesses, which are considered a key to improving the economy. CUNA and credit unions say that increasing credit unions' MBL cap would open up more opportunity to offer MBLs, inject $13 billion in business loans into the economy and create as many as 140,000 new jobs, with no cost to taxpayers.

Perfectly strange
I was in a staff meeting at 4 p.m. when word came that Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox had thrown a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays (in fact, ex-Red Wings shortstop Jason Bartlett grounded to short for the final out). The news was met with a "cool" sort of attitude, but no one rushed out to see highlights or spread the word.
It's not like this is a common thing, either. It's the 18th perfect game in major-league history (out of nearly 400,000 games), and the first since Randy Johnson in 2004 and first in the American League since David Cone in 1999.
I think it's the age we live in. We can see it anytime we want: online, on the 24/7 sports channels like ESPN, or even youtube. The novelty, sadly, has worn off.
Buehrle narrowly missed being the first pitcher in history with two perfectos. In 2007, he walked Sammy Sosa and then picked Sosa off first two pitches later. He wound up with a no-hotter.
By the way, Barack Obama called from the presidential limousine today to offer congratulations. As you're all aware by now, Obama is a huge White Sox fan.
I'M PERPLEXED BY Dustin Martin. In the preseason, I looked at his career numbers and talked to a few people "in the know" and decided that this guy was going to have one heck of a year in Rochester.
And for one game I was right: Martin homered in the season opener in Syracuse. He hasn't homered since.
Today, he went 1-for-6. He struck out twice, ending the game with a bases-loaded whiff in the 12th inning as Pawtucket outlasted Rochester 5-3.
His average is down to .246. He's playing mostly every day, in large part because there aren't a lot of other options. But I worry what a season like this will do to his psyche.
In the old days, say 1970 or so, there is no way a corner outfielder hitting .246 with 1 home run and 33 RBI would still be in the lineup in late July. But with the dilution of baseball (30 teams now instead of 12), the leash is longer.
Martin is a nice guy, and I may be proven wrong (or right) in the future.
He's still a .286 career hitter, but he was .295 when the season began.
IT'S SAD TO SEE THE DECLINE of two skills in many players today: Throwing and bunting. The reason? They don't practice it like the old-timers. Sacrifice flies today would have been throwouts in the old days. Which is why it was great to see old-school Tommy Watkins throw a bullet to Jose Morales and nail Travis Denker at home plate in the 11th inning on Thursday.
KEITH OLBERMANN WAS AT Frontier Field today – first in the press box, then in the stands, then the press box (with his nephew, who lives in Rochester) and then presumably the stands. I didn't meet him, but he seemed cheerful enough and quite pleasant with his nephew.
STAN CLIBURN LOOKED LIKE a genius today when he pitch-hit Matt Macri for Jason Pridie. But there was a method to Stan's madness. PawSox lefty Javier Lopez is a side-armer, and those types are murder on lefties like Pridie. Macri crunched a 3-2 pitch over the scoreboard in left field to tie the game and send us press box types into hell – a 4-hour, 10-minute marathon.
WHY I FEEL OLD: I covered a rising star with the Red Wings in 1991, my first year on the beat. His name was Mike Mussina, and last week he pitched in the Yankees Old-Timers Game! Yikes. Where DOES the time go?
I'M GOING TO FENWAY PARK on Friday with my wife, brother and sister-in-law. I've become a huge fan over the years, and my brother Doug joined the club about five years ago. He doesn't really follow sports, but he can recite batting averages and pitching lines. He has never been to Fenway, so this will be a lot of fun. I've only been there three times – in 1992, 2004 and 2006. Love it, love it, love it.

Elle Macpherson is a modern, award-winning fashion icon; supermodel, entrepreneur, businesswoman, philanthropist, actress and proud mum. She began modelling at 16 after losing a bet. A girlfriend, and model, waged $20 her agency would take Elle on. They did, Elle paid up, and it will forever remain money well lost!
At 18, Elle was modelling in New York and saving to attend university. Her two week sojourn in the Big Apple turned into 4 years, and led to a 30-year career in editorial and commercial work, doing runway shows and gracing thousands of magazine covers.
One of the most coveted covers of all, the Sports Illustrated annual Swimsuit Issue features Elle a record 6-times, more than any other model before or since. SI was the only American publication to feature a model's name on the front cover, and it gave rise to the era of the supermodel, with Elle riding the crest of that wave that extended well beyond fashion. In 1989 Elle was the subject of a cover story in Time magazine.
Throughout the 90s Elle demonstrated her designer instincts and business acumen, launching Elle Macpherson Intimates (1990), calendars (1992), her own company (Elle Macpherson Inc, 1994), and investing in Fashion Cafe (1995). In 2007 BBC2's Money Programme aired an episode entitled "Elle Macpherson: Super Business Model".
During this time she also appeared in films such as Batman (1997) with George Clooney, a recurring role on hit TV sitcom Friends (1999), and hosted Britain's Next Top Model (2010). Her most precious role however, is being a mother to sons Flynn and Andrea, born in 1998 and 2003 respectively.
A campaigner for Breast Cancer Awareness since 1996, Elle has also been an ambassador for children's charity Smile since 2007 and has raised HIV awareness in Africa.
In recognition of her contribution to fashion, Elle's accolades include:
- Figleaves Entrepreneur of the Year, 2005
- Glamour Magazine Style Icon Award, 2006
- Elle Magazine International Style Icon Award (Spain), 2006
- Marie Claire Prix de la Mode 20 years in Business, 2007
- Everywoman Outstanding Designer Award, 2007
- Femmys Lingerie Designer of the Year (USA), 2008
- World Career Award (Austria), 2009

The best rock movie after A Hard Day's Night, Don't Look Back is a documentary of Bob Dylan's tumultuous 1965 tour of Britain. The 1967 film, being shown on this day by Cinemax to celebrate Dylan's 50th birthday, can now be seen in a new context: as an inspiration for Madonna's similarly frank Truth or Dare. Young people who saw the sunken, querulous Dylan mumble incoherently at the most recent Grammys show may not believe it, but there was a time the mid- to late '60s when Dylan was the Madonna of his day: ferociously intelligent, witheringly sarcastic, intent on exposing the sham of pop stardom.
Director D.A. Pennebaker captured all this in Don't Look Back. Shot in grainy black and white, the movie follows Dylan's arrival in London, his press interviews, his backstage chats with celebrities from Joan Baez to the Animals' Alan Price (who enjoys a gin and tonic by drinking from a quart of gin in his right hand and a quart of tonic in his left). There's also a fair amount of concert footage of Dylan, alone onstage with his guitar and harmonica, rasping out songs such as ''The Times They Are A-Changin''' and ''It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.''
But that's not what people remember about this film. What they remember are the scenes of a bemused Dylan reading British newspapers informing him that his new chief competitor is Donovan (''Who is this Donovan?'' he mutters), and of a belligerent Dylan jousting with a Time magazine reporter. ''Do you care about what you sing?'' Dylan is asked. ''How can you ask me that?'' the singer brays. ''Do you ask the Beatles that?'' What a brat. There's also a great, squirmy scene in which Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, finagles huge fees from a British music-hall owner on the strength of his gloriously vulgar, all-American aggressiveness.
Midway through, the film drags a little one too many snide put-downs from the star, one too many scenes suffocated with smug hangers-on. Pennebaker has said that ''Dylan is sort of acting throughout the film,'' but that's okay: His intense self-consciousness resulted in a movie that probably gets closer to the complicated truth of rock stardom than anything before or since.

Vehicular homicide count added to charges in JP motorcycle accident
Updated On: Apr 14 2013 06:48:12 PM CDT
JPSO says a motorcyclist died following a crash Saturday afternoon with an intoxicated driver who was in the country unlawfully.
Fatality Investigator Jeff Navo responded to the accident at 4th Street and Ames Blvd. in Marrero at about 1 p.m.
Police say a truck driven by Mario Martinez, 29, turned into the path of Lawrence Nasser on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Nasser was transported to University Hospital where he was initially listed in critical condition.
Martinez, who has been living in Westwego, was booked with one count each of DWI, first-degree vehicular negligent injury, failure to yield, no driver's license and operating a vehicle without lawful presence in the United States.
Police say Nasser died Sunday afternoon from the injuries sustained in the accident. Subsequently, Martinez will be rebooked with one count of vehicular homicide, officials said.

Function and esthetics
By Julie A S. from Vacaville, CA on Jan 31, 2009
The blend of function and esthetics is amazing. The lamp is beautiful and extremely functional at the same time. The fact that it is does not generate much heat and uses very little energy is a real plus. It looks great in our modern/traditional livingroom setting.

If you are looking for quality, value, aesthetics and eco friendly, the Brazo has it all!
By Marti from Chevy Chase, MD on Feb 12, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
Like the other commenters, I had my eye on other beautiful floor lamps. This one caught my eye for its simplicity, then I learned about its characteristics and construction and I coughed up the big bucks. Glad I did. Folks, this is the floor lamp to get if you hate floor lamp shopping. It will last forever, don't worry about changing the 50,000 hours light bulb. The light is soft, adjustable, and perfect for reading and works in any decor.

« New Music: K'naan f/ Nelly Furtado – 'Is Anybody Out There?'
Video: Cali Swag District – 'Burn Out (Drive Fast)' »
SWV to Release First Album in 15 Years
The ladies of SWV are making a comeback. The '90s R&B trio, known as Sisters With Voices, will release their first studio album in nearly 15 years this spring.
I Missed Us, the follow-up to 1997's Release Some Tension, is due April 17 via eOne Music/Mass Appeal Entertainment.
The first single, "Co-Sign" produced by Lamb (Beyoncé, Monica), is picking up spins at radio, while members Taj, Lelee, and Coko have been in the studio with Bryan-Michael Cox and Jazze Pha finishing the album.
"It's a great feeling to be back recording together again!" said the ladies in a statement. "Something special always happens when we come together."
SWV released its debut album It's About Time in 1992. The album went multi-platinum and spawned R&B classics such as "I'm So Into You," "Right Here," "Downtown," "Weak," and "You're Always on My Mind."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google's (GOOG) Android will grab market share, 4G networks will be rolled out more slowly than expected and social media will become as important as email.
Those are three of 15 technology trends that will unfold over the next three years, according to J. Gold Associates, the research firm I founded. Here they are, with a summary for each.
Trend 1: Within two to three years, 25% to 35% of business users will employ a smartphone exclusively and abandon fixed-line phones. That device will be enabled with many of the same productivity-enhancing features of current fixed-line desktop phones, requiring companies to extend existing PBX/business phone functionality to a wide range of mobile devices.
Trend 2: Corporate security and governance will struggle to keep up with the proliferation of mobile-device use and diversity as IT loosens its control. This will result in high-profile data loss/exposures forcing many companies to re-evaluate their evolving "open" mobile-device strategy. We expect it will be 2013 to 2014 before the "more open/more closed" pendulum is stabilized and, therefore, significant short-term exposure will continue to be the norm in many organizations.Trend 3: The cost of business smartphone acquisition will continue to fall, with the average cost well under $200. But the accelerating cost of 3G/4G data plans will more than make up for the lower acquisition cost and increase the overall mobile cost per user. By 2013, we expect the average business to evaluate devices not solely on features/functions, but also on total cost of ownership, much it currently evaluates other IT assets (e.g., PCs, servers, SW). Trend 4: Mobile-cost containment will be a major issue as more data-ready devices come on board and companies look to make the most efficient use of tiered data plans. Advantage will go to devices that can prove data efficiency and, by 2013, we expect efficiency ratings to be a key determining factor of corporate purchases (much like security and manageability are currently). Device vendors and carriers will adopt standard efficiency-based benchmarks to rate devices and compete on a comparative basis stressing total cost of ownership. Trend 5: Google's (GOOG) Android OS delivered by many vendors (e.g., Motorola (MOT), HTC, Samsung, LG) will become a significant portion of the smartphone installed base, but won't become dominant. It will capture a larger overall share than Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, RIM's (RIMM) BlackBerry or Nokia (NOK). However, despite its popularity, Android will remain significantly less secure and manageable than its competitors, and require either specialized business-hardened versions from device vendors (e.g., Motorola, HTC) or SW add-ons (e.g., Sybase, McAfee, MobileIron, Zenprise) through at least 2013.

When I was in school, we called them "chucks." But they're the original All Stars sneaker from Converse. All the scenesters and emo kids rocked them everywhere from class to prom, in every color imaginable. They had an irresistible iconic quality to them, and the price was right. Their appeal wasn't just to my little subculture, though. Sharp dressing kids could be seen in chucks kept in their most pristine form, while we made every effort to dirty ours up. Now they're seeing a revival (did they ever really leave?) as the classic shoe of the next generation. And guess what — they're just like you remember them.
The shoes were originally created in 1917 to capitalize on the sudden popularity of basketball. The high-top sneakers were an instant hit. Chuck Taylor, a basketball player on Converse's "All Stars" team increased their popularity and helped to refine the design of the shoe. "Chucks" even found their way into the Olympics and were also issued by the military for soldiers in training during World War II [via]. The sneakers have been around the block, and now they're adding that vintage charm to high fashion, too.
Which is more classic: black or white? The white, with red and blue accents, is becoming the understated staple for a crisp spring ensemble. Tip for those of you wanting to keep them looking spankin' new: Try Oxy-clean. That way you don't yellow them or cause unnecessary wear with chlorine bleach.
Black has always been the M.O. of a more rebellious gal, but wearing them can be just enough to give a cute outfit an edge.
High-tops are perfect for adding a little bit of school-boy appeal to your look.
Pastel colors are a hit for spring, but can transcend seasons if you choose to make them the bright focal point of a more understated outfit.
I might have to spring for a new pair — mine are a little worn out, don't you think? Le sigh... so hard to part with them. I've had them for 10 years! You can shop all the styles or create your own at their website.
Check out the gallery for more ways to wear your chucks!
Do you have fond memories of Converse All Stars? Are you thinking about rocking them now?

3 things retribution paladins should borrow from windwalkers
Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy, protection and retribution paladins. Seasoned ret paladin Dan Desmond is here to answer your questions and provide you with your biweekly dose of retribution medicine. Contact him at email@example.com with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!
After about a dozen or so failed attempts, I am finally leveling a monk. I'm not sure I could even tell you why I failed to push myself past level 20, but almost every jade-colored Grid square I had started would eventually meet the business end of the word "Delete" before learning how to ride a bike.
Now I am jabbing and kicking my way into Outland and, somewhat shamefully, am having a complete blast. I almost feel bad that my weekly playtime on the monk is exceeding that of my paladin by a significant margin, though after reading through the forums and seeing many posters make comparisons between ret paladins and windwalker monks, I don't feel quite as bad.
Indeed, in many ways my monk reminds me of my paladin -- a melee class using a secondary resource reminiscent of combo points and maintaining a damage-increasing buff feels right at home. Still, though, there are a number of major differences between the specs, enough to make me a little jealous of what monks have that paladins don't.

A comparison has been made of the laser processing of Ti-6Al-4V (IMI-318) alloy by (a) nitriding under a dilute atmosphere, (b) preplaced 6 µm SiC powder and (c) a combination of (a) and (b). At least six laser tracks were overlapped. Microhardness maps allowed details of the variation in hardness with both melt depth and track number to be determined. The microstructure was characterised and related to the processing parameters, melt track dimensions, hardness and roughness data. It was found that the preheat generated due to the overlapping, influenced the individual track dimensions, microstructure and properties, which were also affected by the laser energy density and the nitrogen concentration in the nitriding atmosphere used in processing. Process (b) was shown to produce the smoothest surfaces, with Ra values <2μm, whilst (c) gave the highest Ra, value, 8.6 μm. These results are considered together with a wide range of data in the literature on laser processed Ti-6Al-4V.

HP Steps Up SDN Strategy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - HP (HPQ) rolled out its Software-Defined Network (SDN) strategy on Tuesday, unveiling new software and applications to tap into the emerging tech trend.
SDN refers to a set of techniques for managing network traffic flows through software and HP is confident that its offerings will resonate with enterprises and public sector customers.
"This is a big announcement for HP, this is a big announcement for the industry," said Bethany Mayer, the general manager of HP's Networking division, during a launch event in midtown Manhattan. HP is the first company to offer SDN technology encompassing network infrastructure, control software and applications, she added.
On the infrastructure side, HP announced that OpenFlow, a networking protocol that lets companies automate how they set up their hardware, is now available on 25 of the company's switches.The Palo Alto, Calif.-based firm also unveiled its SDN Controller software, which lets users control their broader network infrastructures. For applications, HP launched its Sentinel Security software which automates access control and provides intrusion prevention security across networks. The company also unveiled its Virtual Cloud Networks software, which lets cloud providers deliver automated cloud services to enterprises. While OpenFlow support is now available as software upgrade on HP's networking switches, other parts of the company's strategy will be implemented over the coming months. The SDN Controller, for example, will be available worldwide by the second half of 2013, as will the Virtual Cloud Networks application. The Sentinel Security application is already available to select early access customers. A host of tech heavyweights, including HP's arch-rival Cisco (CSCO) and bellwether IBM (IBM), are adding flesh to the bones of their SDN strategies. In June, for example, Cisco announced proof-of-concept controller software and also a proof-of-concept OpenFlow agent running on its Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches. IBM is partnering with NEC on OpenFlow-based switch technology. HP is keen to drive fresh revenue in its networking business, particularly after its one-time partner, Cisco, stepped on the company's toes by moving into the server space. During its recent fiscal third-quarter, HP Networking revenue climbed 10% year-over-year. The no.1 PC maker, however, is currently in the throes of a major corporate restructuring, recently extending extending job cuts as CEO Meg Whitman attempts to get the company back on track. Shares of the Dow component, which have tumbled 33.5% this year, closed down 0.46% at $17.13 on Tuesday. -- Written by James Rogers in New York.

2013 and earlier-Mercedes-Benz C-Class Lease Questions
so I finally made the deal for the 2011 C300 Sport with a different dealer who did not markup the lease acq fee. The MSRP was $39,055. They said the USAA price(invoice+$500) is $37382, which is actually $1K over invoice. When I questioned it, they said that the invoice includes a "required" $500 advertising fee. Is this really true or am I being taken?
Anyways, after the $1500 USAA cash back incentive to bring down the cap cost. The 27mo lease with 0.00116 MF and 68% residual came to about $417/month with taxes+fees upfront. Waiting for the car to be transported from port.
Hey ateixeira. Mercedes' current advertised lease on the 2011 C300 Sedan Sport isn't quite $300 per month. It's actually $339 per month for 27 months with $2,245 down. One might be able to do better than that by negotiating a lower selling price, but still not all the way down to $300.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi tax_atty. The lease programs for the 4Matic is slightly different than it is for the RWD model.
Mercedes-Benz Financial's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2011 C300 4Matic with 7,500 miles per year are .00114 and 72%, respectively.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are .00114 and 56%.

Hi orizaba. The lease programs for the C300 and the C350 are similar, but not exactly the same.
Mercedes-Benz Financial's November buy rate lease money factor and residual for a 36 month lease of a 2011 C350 with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 56%, respectively.

Premium Package 1
Multi Media
Heated Seats
Price: 39500
15K Miles per year for 27 months
Purchase Price Option at 29791

oncdoc Posts: 1Hey guys, this is my first post.
Looked at a 2011 C300 with prem 1, Nav + 4, wood trim, metallic paint, auto, MSRP 40,680. I wanted 0 down, 36months 15k miles.
Dealer has offered 550/month incl tax, etc, 36months for 12k miles. Is this a good deal? I wanted 15k miles for under 500 incl tax.
I didnt get into the specifics about residual value and money factor.
rkeim1 Posts: 1Hey guys, this is my first time posting on this site.
Looking at a 2011 C300 4matic sport sedan in NJ. 27 month lease with 12,000 miles. I am looking to put no money down, and only put down the 1st month and typically signing allotment. The additional items I put into the vehicle are:
- 4matic AWD
- Premium 1 package
- Multimedia package
- Panoramic Roof
- Rear Spoiler
- Heated Seats
- Iridium Silver Paint
Total MSRP was approximately $45,820.
I dealer originally offered it for $1700 at siging (including first month) and $589 a month. Went back and forth and checked out other dealerships and am now at $1500 at signing and $550 a month. Is this a good deal? I put alot of extras into the car, so I'm not sure if I can get much lower. What do you think>?
dowmcr Posts: 1I am not sure what your tax rate is in NJ. However if you use the lease tool on this site in concert with Edmunds TMV for this car and the current money factor/residual, you might be able to get another $5-10 off per month.
It is a very helpful tool if used in concert with all of the other great info in this forum.
Good luck
bjoney Posts: 1Deal I received:
2011 C300 - White, Nav +4, Burl Walnut Wood Trim and a few other extras but not P1.
- $1,845 at signing (incl $1095 lease aquisition and $750 for something else??)
- $0 cap reduction
- 15,000 miles/yr.
- includes All scheduled maintanence like oil changes, belts, lubes @ 10k, 20k and 30k miles
- $468/mo
Negotiated Price $35,960
Not sure if this is a good deal but it was a battle.
demreme Posts: 1Just got back from the MB dealer...
Looking at:
2011 C300 Sport
Price: 36680
Money Factor: 0.00216
Residual: 57%
12,000 Miles
39 months
$2000 Cash Due at signing
Monthly payment: $534
I've been reviewing the forum posts and the money factor seems high...I found the following numbers from last month:
36-month | 15k miles | residual 57% | .00116 base money factor
Does anyone have this month's money factor?
Thank you.
Hi vrits. Mercedes-Benz Financial's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2011 C300 with 12,000 miles per year are 00116 and 70%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

david55555 Posts: 2Hi everyone,
This is not intended to be advertising or spam, as I'm not making any profit from doing this.
There is a, very reliable, leasing broker in my area in NYC that has a special on the C300 (2011 MY). 27 months pre-paid lease, $250+tax per month + bank and DMV. 7,500 miles a year.
Message me if interested.
lawman6 Posts: 1All, here is the deal I closed last friday: 2011c300, 4matic, P1, Multi, Leather, heated seats, Capri, pp maint, 10K miles, 27 months, 4,136 due at signing (cap cost red 2,096, acq fee 895, lic fee 350, prep fee 395, tire mgmt fee (???) 7.50, 1st payment 392). Monthly payment is 392.65. I did my homework and shopped 4 dealers. No one could beat it. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
mercfan2011 Posts: 1I leased a mercedes c300 2011 (msrp of$ 39500) for 27 months and 12000 miles per year. My monthly payment is$ 350 per month. Maintenance oil changes and all is included in price. How good of a deal did I get? $3300 was due at signing but I did not have to pay it bc I traded in my car.
tbtmedia Posts: 21I am turning in my C 300 Sport for a C 300 Luxury edition. As I had endless problems w/ the tires on the Sport and did not have the tire insurance, I was wondering if anyone who has the Luxury has had problems w/ the tires? Apparently the tire insurance is approx $37/month...$1,000 over 27 months. I don't want to spend the extra money on the lease if there tends not to be a problem w/ the tires on the Luxury model. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sycamore, IL -- Illinois State Police and the DeKalb County State's Attorney's Office announced a Grand Jury indictment against Jack Daniel McCullough, (aka John Tessier). McCullough/Tessier was officially charged in DeKalb County with one count of child sexual assault, and four counts of indecent liberties with a child.
The victim told Illinois State Police investigators that she was raped by Jack McCullough when she was 14 years of age in Sycamore, Illinois.
"Sadly, we have another victim, and for the families of all victims, the pain never goes away," said ISP Director Hiram Grau. "The ISP Special Agents who have been tirelessly working this case will continue to be unrelenting in their efforts to find justice, closure, and peace for the Sycamore community," Grau added.
Based on the new information received during the investigation, the DeKalb County State's Attorney, Clay Campbell, has decided to officially charge McCullough/Tessier with these charges. A Grand Jury was convened and indicted McCullough on all five counts.
McCullough was charged in July with the murder, kidnapping and abduction of an infant, and he remains in custody at the DeKalb County jail on a $3M bond.
A court date for McCullough's bond hearing is pending.

Everywhere I look it seems that organizations are asking for your help as a volunteer.
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 7:43pm
DS' soccer team is pretty much managed by the coaches, that's not without saying that us parents whose kids play don't help but when we offer up snacks, to carpool, etc. that's totally voluntary and not some forced on to you requirement... My kid is only nine but calling volunteering a requiremnet would be a total turn off to me even if it was older ball.
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 7:29pm
At my son's current school there is this annual formal dinner/fundraiser that is one of the biggest parties in oour town. Think the Junior League dinner in "The Help." The ProVos run that. To be fair, it raises an enormous amount of money for the school. The rest of us do all the other jobs in the school.
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 3:34pm
Note to Melissa: Stay away! I'm only partially joking. Your 8th grade party planners sound just like the ones in the school my son was in last year. I volunteered for a few things, but the professional volunteers made it pretty clear that they had things well under control. Fine with me! If it's that important to someone else, she can have the job.
There was one mom in particular who:

Girls scouts was one of those programs I never wanted a part of and I'm thankful my daughters were never interested in it too. I have a friend who is heavily involved, she is the leader of several groups and I admire her energy. But I've become the ear of many of her rants about it which usually boil down to who is more involved and judgement calls about those who aren't and I have to say that seals my own lack of interest about the whole thing!I don't like complainers either but I do think having the force to change things you don't like can be a good thing, there isn't a lot of involvement in extras at our school and there are things I wish would change there but instead of rocking the whole boat I've found it easier to just help in little ways, Lol.
I can't understand why the judgment call rants reflected on the organization instead of the one person doing it, your friend.
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 1:29pm
I'm hesitant to get involved with the 8th grade party because I've heard that the moms from the other middle school (we have two) tend to take it over, become pretty cliquey, and aren't that receptive to our help. Although that's not type of group I like to work with, I still feel like I should show up just to find out more about the party. I also would like to find out for myself how the group interacts with each other. So far the meetings have conflicted with other meetings I've had, but there is one this week I'm thinking about attending. With baseball season right around the corner and the annual PTO night coming up, I don't have a lot of time right now to give them.
|Sun, 01-22-2012 - 6:06pm
I've never really experienced my own image of a "professional volunteer" first hand. I have experienced some people who are rather controlling about what the way they think things should be and aren't real open to new ideas. I don't enjoy that.

What are my employer's obligations if I am laid off?
This is a complicated issue. Please contact your Human Resources/Immigration Department or the lawyer to address this issue should it arise. Generally, an individual in H-1B status who terminates employment must leave the U.S., have a change of employer H-1B petition filed on his/her behalf, or, if qualified, file a change of status application.
An H-1B employer is liable for the reasonable costs of return transportation to your last place of foreign residence if the employer dismisses you from employment before the end of the period of your authorized H-1B status. However, your employer is not liable for return transportation costs for your family members. If you voluntarily terminate your employment prior to the expiration of the validity of the H-1B petition, this means that you have not been dismissed and your employer is not liable for the cost of return transportation. If you believe that your employer has not complied with this requirement, you may advise the USCIS Service Center that adjudicated your H-1B petition in writing. The complaint will be retained in the USCIS file relating to the petition.

"How do I learn more about wine?"
Often I get asked that question.
Wine can be very daunting because there is a lot of snobbery associated with it and because there is so much to know about: varietals (that's the names of the grapes), countries, regions, climates, clones, flavor profiles, tastes (sweet, bitter, acidic), and on and on.
Start with the basics and then, if you want to know more, keep going. If you really are interested, there are three simple things you can do:
• Read. Several books will give you a foundation, but in my opinion "Windows on the World Complete Wine Course," by Kevin Zraly, is the best intro.
Just this past week, one of my employees asked about learning more about wine. My wife recommended the "Windows on the World" book. Three hours later, the employee sent a text saying that she had purchased the book after her shift and couldn't put it down. It's a very easy read. The paragraphs are broken up, and there are interesting facts in the margins, so if you are someone who gets bored or distracted easily while reading (like I do) I highly recommend it.
• Talk. Most people love to discuss pop culture, movies, wine and spirits.
I was fortunate enough to have a manager who was well-versed in wine when I worked at Lon's at the Hermosa. A group of servers and bartenders would get together with him once a week after work and drink and talk about wine. We graduated to bringing bottles in paper bags, trying to trick one another, which we still do sometimes today. We're still friends and, in fact, work together at BLD!
If your friends don't know much about wine, start by talking to your local bartender. Most of the bartenders at restaurants with good wine lists are educated on wine and love to talk. Strike up a conversation about what they like to drink and why. Find out what they did to learn more about wine.
• Drink. Purchase different entry-level wines under $10. Let's face it — $2.50 a glass in the comfort of your own home can't be bad.
I'll let you in on a little secret: I didn't always like wine. It has been an acquired taste. The first wine I liked was Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, and I drank it because my girlfriend liked it. Gradually, I tried more and more wine, and now there isn't much wine I won't drink. If you want to learn more about wine, then you probably already have a taste for it. Expand upon that by picking up more bottles of what you like.
Let's not forget, wine is simply fruit that has been fermented.
