A couple of days ago I posed this question: is Sun preparing to take on Cisco? The question generated some interesting responses in the comments to the article.
Reader Bill had this to say:
How on earth would Cisco respond if Sun started introducing products with better performance, at a fraction of the price, built on high volume open source adoption?
As I responded, that's the real $64,000 question, isn't it? That's the premise upon which this entire thing is built—that by using commodity hardware and open source components, Sun can produce high-quality, high-performing network equipment that they can sell for far less than Cisco.
Reader Ed, on the other hand, questioned the validity of this kind of move:
I would think that partnering with a Juniper or Foundry-type company and OEMing equipment from those companies would be a more prudent move than venturing on their own to create new network devices.
Normally, I would agree with Ed if we were talking about a company that was merely interested in entering a market in order to become a more complete supplier to their customers. That's not Sun's purpose. Sun's purpose is, I think, to fundamentally change the nature of the networking hardware market. How successful they'll be…well, that's another question.
My original article also prompted a response elsewhere on the Internet. Christofer Hoff thought my use of the work "distracted" in describing Cisco and Project "California" wasn't appropriate, and in one sense he's correct—"California" is absolutely a natural evolution of Cisco's products and technologies and it does make sense for them. As I pointed out to Hoff, though, being successful with this new solution (I can't call it a server!) will take focus, and while Cisco is focused on "California" Sun has their opportunity.
And it looks like they are definitely going to take that opportunity:
As I've said before, general purpose microprocessors and operating systems are now fast enough to eliminate the need for special purpose devices. That means you can build a router out of a server – notice you cannot build a server out of a router, try as hard as you like. The same applies to storage devices.
To demonstrate this point, we now build our entire line of storage systems from general purpose server parts, including Solaris and ZFS, our open source file system. This allows us to innovate in software, where others have to build custom silicon or add cost. We are planning a similar line of networking platforms, based around the silicon and software you can already find in our portfolio.
The emphasis on that last sentence is mine, just to emphasize the clarity of where Sun is headed. Clearly, it is their intention to leverage OpenSolaris, Crossbow, ZFS, Solaris Zones, etc., to compete directly against Cisco. And Cisco appears to be their primary target, judging from this sentence:
That means you can build a router out of a server – notice you cannot build a server out of a router, try as hard as you like.
To me, that looks like a direct jab at "California".
So, I guess the question of whether Sun is going to take on Cisco is settled. Hoff, get your popcorn!

It would appear that "the cloud" is getting thicker. Redundancy and parallel processing by having the cloud model of many lower cost devices that re-route or takeover on failures is finally coming to fruition. The days of "routers route" and "servers serve" is blurring at break neck speed. Finally.
I find it amazing that marketing convinces the masses that you have to have an appliance X that does Y when appliance X is clearly repurposed older technology with a nice looking cover. In many cases, I can buy at least 10 appliance X "innards" and build my own with Open Source or more affordable alternatives. I just have to do my diligence. Its not always a 1 to 1 feature set, but it will get me where I need to go 80% of the time. Sounds like Sun is painting that picture for us.
If the architecture is built so that failures are mitigated by having services picked up by many different capable devices that don't care if that service is a fileserver, a router, a whatever, you really have to ask yourself why the masses will keep buying the pretty box?
Sun's core assets have always been Solaris, processors, servers and the software that goes with it. Sun is not targeting Cisco directly per se – but what they call the entire "proprietary" IT world.
Just as their world was disrupted by open software newcomer Linux and commodity processors; they now seek to disrupt markets with their version of open source software and commodity hardware.
They aim to make routers, network devices, storage RAID arrays and controllers, etc. out of their OS and commodity hardware (processors, JBOD, SSD, etc.)
One general purpose OS platform that can be re-swizzled a million different ways.
Sun's challenge will not be their technology or innovation – they have that in spades. It will be reining in their broad focus and general business acumen (partnership management, solid fiscal management, sales, marketing, distribution, etc.)
Cisco may not have near the systems IP or portfolio as Sun, but what they do have is focus and business acumen…
Remeber, back in the days, that's exctly what people were doing – building routers and firewalls from commodity hardware, old servers, even workstations. Then Cisco came with an APPLIANCE and won the market. Same thing happened win NAS – NetApp won NAS marked introducing an APPLIANCE. So why enterprises will go 20 years back and start building routers and firewalls themselves from commodity hardware, instead of buying an APPLIANCE. The cost of the hardware is NOT the TCO as we kow, but just a portion of it (sometimes even smaller that support, maintenance, management, etc)?
I'm with Christofer Hoff on the point that Cisco is after Unified Data Center, where integration is the key.
Sun, on the other hand, is after students, hobbysts , enthusiasts innovators that have free access to open source OpenSolaris and can build something usefull out of it, so then Sun can sell them support and probably their hardware (as Sun can clain it is optimized for their software best of all). It reminds me RedHat model, but somewhat enhanced.
They absolutely plan on building an appliance. That is exactly what they did with storage.
Don't count out the "enthusiasts innovators" either. I am sure there will be a couple startups out there who take the technology and do interesting things with it that Sun didn't plan on doing…but that is good for Sun too. It creates disruption at the lower end of the market and it makes it easy to cherry pick good ideas down the road. What better way to enter a new market segment than to acquire some startup that uses all your technology?
Yes commodity hardware is good nowadays, but is it really ASIC good? While many server folks would probably be ready to accept commodity server hardware as sufficient, I have to believe networking folks won't cozy up to the idea as quickly. My guess would be that commodity hardware might get you through on some networks, but as networks evolve and demands increase will they be able to keep up? The current move is to 10gig. Juniper is already building their gear to support 100gig. Will Sun really be able to keep up at those speeds all in software?
I have to agree with Dmitry a little bit that it does seem like a time warp idea. Granted the clarification that it is vendor built and supported commodity gear and open source software, we are still talking about the same idea. I guess Microsoft is putting thin client mentality back into 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services though, so maybe we are just in that ripe time to reinvent old ideas. Like you said they may fly or flop. It's pretty hard to tell what is going to happen now with things like cloud computing ramping up and Microsoft redefining the corpnet and pushing things up the stack with IPv6, IPsec, and isolation.

I don't really know any, but I'm sure they don't actually follow a typical bodybuilding bulking diet do they?
How exactly do they reach such high levels of hypertrophy?
I mean obviously not all of them, but ive seen quite a few that look really, really jacked (i don't just mean lean, they have decent size too) yet they don't seem to go about it the typical bodybuilding route, but they are getting similar if not better results
If anyone knows someone or has been involved in gymnastics, what goes on in a typical day of these guys? How are their workouts etc.? Is it due to the high amount of stretching involved?

Recreate Your Fave TV or Movie Character's Beauty Look!
Rather than just fantasizing about sporting Bella Swan's perfect, pink pout or Blair Waldorf's sleek curls, we grilled Hollywood's hottest hairstylists and makeup artists about how to steal the looks!
By Kelli Acciardo
Katniss' Undone Braid in The Hunger Games
To get Jennifer's 'do in the film, try these steps from TRESemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu.
1. Prep hair with TRESemmé Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse to enhance texture. Then create waves by curling hair vertically with a one and one-fourth-inch iron.
3. Finger comb your hair with an anti-frizz cream and loosely pull hair to one side, in front of your shoulder.
4. Make two sections, then two smaller sections from the outside working in (the smaller your sections, the more intricate your fishtail braid will be. The two outside sections should be smaller, and the two middle sections bigger).
5. Pull a smaller strand over one of the larger sections, then under the other large section.
6. Repeat this step from the other side and continue the weaving pattern all the way down the length of your hair and fasten with an elastic. You can pull out a few strands to frame your face for a more relaxed look.
TIP: While braiding, remember that the tension in your hand plays a big part in how your finished braid will look. The tighter your grip, the more polished and neat it will look, whereas the looser your grip, the more undone and piece-y it will be.

A quick clarification about Boobquake
So what started as a joke and somewhat sarcastic reply to the ludicrous notion that women's immodesty causes earthquakes has now exploded. Seriously, internet, you scare and amaze me sometimes. The Facebook event already has almost 14,000 attendees (and 60,000 invited) in just over 24 hours. The wall is getting comments so quickly that I had to disable Facebook email notifications because my inbox was getting flooded. The twitter stream for #boobquake is updating so quickly that I can't keep up. To top that off, I just got interviewed by the largest newspaper in Canada and some radio station in Ireland wants to interview me.
Because I made a boob joke.
Since this is probably only going to get crazier in the next couple of days, I want to make a quick clarification. This post is going to be far shorter than it should be since I am a student and I'm trying to finish homework and such, but I wanted to at least acknowledge what people are saying.
I just want to apologize if this comes off as demeaning toward women. To be honest, it started as silly joke that I hurriedly fired off since I was about to miss the beginning of House. I never thought it would get the attention it did. If I would have known, I would have spent more time being careful about my wording.
That being said, I don't think the event is completely contrary to feminist ideals. I'm asking women to wear their most "immodest" outfit that they already would wear, but to coordinate it all on the same day for the sake of the experiment. Heck, just showing an ankle would be considered immodest by some people. I don't want to force people out of their comfort zones, because I believe women have the right to choose how they want to dress. Please don't pressure women to participate if they don't want to. If men ogle, that's the fault of the men, not me for dressing how I like. If I want to a show a little cleavage or joke about my boobs, that's my prerogative.
I also hate the ideal of "big boobs are always better!" The cleavage joke was just a result of me personally having cleavage, and that being my choice of immodesty. And I thought "boobquake" just sounded funny. Really, it's not supposed to be serious activism that is going to revolutionize women's rights, but just a bit of fun juvenile humor. I'm a firm believer that when someone says something so stupid and hateful, serious discourse isn't going to accomplish anything - sometimes light-hearted mockery is worthwhile.
Anyway, I'm not forcing anyone to agree with me. Maybe I am failing at Feminism 101, or maybe I'm just taking a different approach.
And to the scientists who are concerned with my methods - don't worry, I fully plan on doing some statistics after the event. I know many earthquakes happen on a daily basis, so we're looking to see if Boobquake significantly increases the number or severity of earthquakes. Or if an earthquake strikes West Lafayette, IN and only kills me, that may be good evidence of God's wrath as well (I'm not too concerned). And yes, I know I need a larger sample size to make this good science. Maybe I'll include Mardi gras in my calculations.

This is something that seems like we are in a dream, hearing about 34 billionaires pledging to donate half of their wealth to charities. This is so amazing and these billionaires are really going to help the economy. After Bill Gates and Warren Buffet vowed to donate, over thirty more billionaires agreed to join them. The announcement came this morning by The Giving Pledge organization that was started when Gates and Buffet persuaded others and discussed their consideration of sharing their wealth.

Bryan Eisenberg | January 17, 2003 | Comments
There are four personalities. Understanding them is mission critical. Whom does your copy speak to?
You'll never increase your conversion rate by pushing what you want to do, the way you want to do it. Lots of individuals out there don't think, act, or feel the same way you do.
Online efforts that don't make allowances for different ways in which people approach decision making leave lots of money on the table.
To succeed online, you must construct the type of environment that leads customers through buying the way they want to buy. Your copy, decision paths, and creative designs must snag your various visitors, pull them in, and get them to take action.
Task-oriented visitors land on your site with a single question in mind: What's in it for me? WIIFM is our abbreviation. Sound like your favorite radio station?
Visitors look to you to provide the answer to that question. It's a big one. Your answer depends on things such as your unique value proposition, the products or services you offer, and your ability to instill trust and confidence. Most of all, the answer should be reflected in the way your site "speaks" to the four dominant personality types.
Let's quickly review those personalities:
You get the idea. Different personality types ask different questions, require different information to feel comfortable reaching a decision, and even vary widely in the time it takes to make decisions.
Good salespeople say what the customer needs to hear, the way that customer needs to hear it to make a purchase decision. That salesperson also knows how to redirect a presentation quickly if it's not working. That's an essential component of "the sale."
Acknowledging personality types online is critical. You're conducting business in a self-service medium. No one's there to modify persuasion tactics if they fall on deaf ears. You'll only know you've missed the mark when you check your Web logs.
Online, your hyperlinks establish, maintain, and offer the alternatives to your "dialogue." How do they do that? Look at this snippet of copy:Our approach is personalized to meet your objectives. The bottom line is your results are guaranteed. Explore our methodology to discover how thousands of clients just like you have been delighted.
Different elements in this copy appeal to different personality types. Amiables latch on to "personalized to meet your objectives." Analyticals make a beeline for the "methodology" section. Expressives will be very interested in those "thousands of clients." Assertives are happiest if you cut to the chase with the "bottom line" and "guaranteed" results.
With this knowledge, you can develop a linking strategy. Keep it in the active window so visitors can follow the buying decision path that best suits them.
Craft copy incorporating specific words and phrases that create multiple personality scenarios (or navigation paths) to appeal to the different personality types. Each scenario follows a logical progression based on the steps of the sales and buying decision process. Along the way, there's always an opportunity to shift personality gears. As you develop the scenarios, remember to test, measure, and optimize.
Humans are amazingly complex creatures. Any classification simplifies that complexity. No one person is exclusively one personality type. Everyone's a delightful mix. One type may predominate, but others come into play. These are influenced by environmental factors, social factors, even ephemeral moods. Even if you know for a fact 72 percent of your visitors are Analyticals, that doesn't mean you can write only to the analytical profile!
Your Analytical might follow a primarily how-oriented path, then decide to feel completely comfortable taking action. He now requires who-oriented information.
Consider the nature of your products or services. Impulse buying appeals most to friendly, impulsive Amiables.
A site selling engineering equipment will attract more Analyticals than Expressives. Even if an Expressive engineer requires the product, her job requires she be concerned with a logical, orderly, precise, and features-attentive approach.
If you run an online dating service, no matter how Analytical or Assertive your visitor, he's likely to approach your site in an Expressive state of mind.
Your goal is to delight each visitor. The delighted customer is most likely to complete a purchase, refer your business to others, and return to buy again.
Don't forget to vote for your favorite marketing technology solutions!

Facebook launches local currency payments API, will officially end Facebook credits September 12
After announcing its intention to end Facebook Credits last March, Facebook has launched the local currency payments API today. Replacing Facebook Credits, the local currency payments API has been put in place to simplify purchase experience, improve payments flow and make it easier to price virtual goods globally.
Facebook has asked game developers to integrate into their current and future apps, giving a 90 day window to migrate to the API. After the 90 days, which falls on September 12, Facebook will only accept payments through the API and no longer accept Facebook Credits.
Facebook has also stated that it will also be depreciating Payer Promotions for Facebook Credits and will reintroduce to local currency in the next few months. It will also depreciate Facebook-sponsored support for TrialPay offers, but TrialPay will continue to support the promotions through a direct integration solution. Instead of using Facebook's currency payments API, integration support will be supported by direct integration. Only technical integration will be different, fees will not change and advertising rules will not change.
[EDITORS NOTE: Due to misunderstanding of the original blog post, we first reported that Facebook would be depreciating TrialPay. To correct this mistake, Facebook will not be eliminating offers, but will move from a Facebook API to a direct integration with TrialPay. Facebook has since updated their blog post to better communicate the migration.]
The new currency payments API will improve app performance by caching static prices with Facebook, but developers will also be able to price items dynamically. In early tests with select game developers, Facebook found new payments API provided for a faster and smoother overall users experience.

Follow-upMarch 1st, 2010
Always up on the latest research, Dr. Jaliman contacted me recently because she wanted to give me an update on the some of her latest favorite acne treatments to hit the market. We spoke for about 45 minutes and ended up covering more than just new treatments. It was an enlightening conversation. Below is a summary of what we talked about:
New Treatments
• Dapsone® – topical anti-inflammatory
Dapsone is a new anti-inflammatory acne treatment on the market. It is a clear topical gel which can be used alone or in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide. Most previous acne treatments have focused on killing bacteria or shedding skin cells. Dapsone, in concentrating on the inflammation component of acne, is a new tool at our disposal. Also, unlike with some retinoid treatments, acne does not worsen before it starts to improve on Dapsone. Dr. Jaliman said it usually takes about 12-14 weeks to see results, but that improvement was impressive when patients remained…well…patient. She said 80% of people "love it."
• Acanya® – topical 2.5% benzoyl peroxide plus 1.2% clindamycin
If you have been around Acne.org for long, you know that 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is the way to go. Higher percentages do not work any better and can irritate the skin. Acanya is a new 2.5% benzoyl peroxide which incorporates a topical antibiotic, clindamycin, as well.
• Evoclin® – Clindamycin foam (mix with shaving cream)
Dr. Jaliman encourages some of her male patients to mix some antibiotic Evoclin into their shaving cream.
• Atralin® – .05% tretinoin plus hyaluronic acid
If you've tried tretinoin (Retin-A®) you know it can be drying. Atralin attempts to mediate the dryness with the addition of hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturizing ingredient.
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Dr. Jaliman feels that polycystic ovaries are a more common cause of acne symptoms than we realize. Polycystic ovaries can cause menstrual irregularities, as well as hirsutism (excess hair growth). Dr. Jaliman says if you have a family history of endocrine (hormone) problems, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, that you may wish to look into this as a potential cause of your acne. She often prescribes Yaz® (drospirenone & ethinyl estradiol), an oral contraceptive, for such patients.
Cyst treatment
Dermatologists often treat cysts and nodules with cortisone injections. Dr. Jaliman also employs another, less invasive method. She sometimes prescribes a topical steroid with clindamycin.
Overproduction of skin cells leads to clogged pores, which leads to acne. So, theoretically, if we exfoliate the skin enough, there can be no acne. Dr. Jaliman is a big believer in the power of exfoliation, and recommends prescription strength salicylic pads which she has her patients wipe on the skin and then wash off. She also recommends glycolic acid once a week to some of her patients. She will use up to 20% glycolic acid, have her patient leave it on for one minute, and then wash it off. Dr. Jaliman mentioned that exfoliation is even more important in the summer months.
New scar treatments
Dr. Jaliman mentioned the Medlite 1064 YAG laser and injectable filler named Sculptra® as something potentially useful new tools. However, her bottom line remains the same. She reiterated that for scar treatment, what is important is to find a good dermatologist who is versed in the latest scar treatments. Do your homework and find an experienced, capable doctor.

Celtics, looking to forge chemistry, will hold training camp in Waltham
Paul Pierce wanted to go away for training camp, far, far away. He felt a training camp vacation would benefit his Celtics, who could use a bonding experience to gain some chemistry.
"When you got new guys and these types of personalities, I think it's good for all of us to get out, be at a dinner table — me, Shaq, Kevin [Garnett], Ray [Allen], Jermaine," he told the Boston Globe. "I think it would be good for that relationship, building that chemistry. We get away and go somewhere, that's something we'll definitely do."
Pierce continued, "I'm really getting tired of Newport. I want to go somewhere else."
Somewhere else… as in Waltham, where the Celtics normally hold practices? I'm pretty sure that wasn't what Pierce had in mind when he said he wanted to get away. I'm also pretty sure that Waltham, where most of the players have houses and some have families, isn't the best place to forge chemistry. And the Celtics, who signed an astonishing 11 players this offseason, need to build a bond.
"Chemistry is a delicate thing. I understand that, and I'm as cautious as anyone with it. I guarantee you, I'll be keeping my eye on it," Doc Rivers told NBA Fanhouse. "I don't know yet if we can make it work. It is going to be interesting, that's for sure."
Interesting, indeed. With Shaq, Delonte West and Von Wafer among the C's offseason additions, the locker room should have its own reality show. Seriously. I'd watch that 24/7.
But I'm not sure chemistry should be so trying. Shaq's ego could be problematic, but West knows his role and he plays it well. Personal issues aside, West has already proven himself to do whatever his coach asks of him. He's also, all unfounded rumors aside, a player who gets along with his teammates. The last few years, you could find Delonte cheesing for the fake photographs Lebron James snapped before games or joking around with teammates on the bench. Before that, he was a fan favorite in Boston, beloved for his endless energy and spunk. His depression is worrisome, to say the least, but when mentally healthy, Delonte has always been a player coaches and teammates enjoy. He was never a problem in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers had unrivaled chemistry as they joked and danced their way to 60+ wins each of the last two seasons.
Wafer has been a problem in the past, but he isn't in any position to be one this year. He's down to his last chance, and he must know it. If Wafer can't get along with Doc Rivers, a player's coach if there ever was one, then he's probably won't ever find his way back to the NBA. With that in mind, I'm sure Wafer will be on his best behavior. Either that or he's an even bigger headcase than anyone could imagine.
Besides Wafer, the one big spot where I see a potential chemistry meltdown is when Kendrick Perkins returns in February. Then, three guys who have always been starters need to split the minutes of two men. Seriously, what happens when Perk gets back? Does Shaq get the first DNP-CD of his career? Does Jermaine O'Neal? Does Perk? There won't be many minutes to split between the three centers, and somebody's bound to be the odd man out. How will everyone handle it? I have no idea, but I could see it becoming a problem.
Other than that, chemistry may not be as volatile as some might think. As Rivers noted, "If your goal is anything other than winning a championship, you're going to have a problem with chemistry." But with a team that prides itself on possessing the ultimate winner's mentality and additions that, for the most part, want to do nothing but win, maybe chemistry shouldn't be such a worry.
Rivers said, "I think we're getting [the new additions] at the right time. They're not coming to be stars. They are coming to be role players trying to help us win a championship."
As long as that sentiment remains true, the Celtics will be a force to be reckoned with. Even if they went against Pierce's wishes and will hold training camp in their own backyard.

This is the craziest off-season, and must ridiculous team I've ever seen.
Honestly, can you believe how much time we've spent this off-season talking about BENCH players. When before can you imagine having debates about guys who are 2nd, and potentially even 3rd players down on the depth chart. It's crazy. I've honestly never seen a deeper team in the NBA before. There are guys, TWELVE spots down on the depth chart who have shown flashes of starter level talent in the NBA (Wafer, West, Daniels.) When Perk's back, we'll have a THIRD string center who's a former All-Star. Third. String.
I'm not sure if there's such a thing as too much depth, but I guess that's a good problem to have, if there is.

Hi Mate, unfortunately yes, you need to set up boot camp on every machine locally. *sigh* Welcome to the world of Apple!
I am not sure this is the correct forum for this but here goes. I want o be able to dual boot a suite of Mac's with WIndows 7. I have managed to get this working on a MAcbook by using the Boot Camp assistant but i have not tried it on a complete suite. I am hoping someone can give me an idiots guide to doing this. I Know how to get it working on one stand alone Mac but what about a room full? DO you have to go through the same process on 30 Macs? Can you do just one and them find some clonign software to clone the HDD and use it on all the others?
Sorry for what may be basic questions but i have not much experience with this kind of thing with Mac's and OSX
Hi Mate, unfortunately yes, you need to set up boot camp on every machine locally. *sigh* Welcome to the world of Apple!
Might be some answers here...
Cloning a drive with a Bootcamp partition - Mac-Forums Discussions for Apple Products & Services
Sounds like a comination of WinClone and Carbon Copy Creator should do what you are after.
If you create a dual boot for the macs on one machine, you can then image the dual partitions using Clonezilla... Create a Clonezilla Live USB stick and it happily takes an image of the full HDD, all partitions included. Use it again to then copy the images to the other machines.
I'm assuming you're also aware of the Magic Triangle to inegrate the macs into AD for authentication?
We're using Deploy Studio to image our Mac/windows environment but we do have a Appleserver as well as Windows network then use scripts within the workflow to partition etc. There is a Deploy Studio PC that might do what you want.
i believe i managed to use carbon copy cloner to clone the xp setup on one mac to another but that was a few years ago and i cant remember how i did it but i seem to remember it diddnt save much time compared to running round with cds
I tried clonezilla and had a Kernel error as soon as the system rebooted would be intrested if you could show me exactly how you did it! We use a Mac Server and deploy studio to do this also but I was guessing from his post that he was just running a full windows network and didn't have a mac server?
The way I went about it is to firstly upgrade to OSX 10.6 or later (ideally OSX 10.9 Mavericks), run Bootcamp, install Windows 7 'as new', install all required applications then take a snapshot of it, but do not run Sysprep.
Repeat the process on a second Mac, run Bootcamp, install Windows 7 as new, then overwrite Win 7 partition with your cloned image.
The reason I couldn't image the whole lot (OSX and Win 7) all in one go, as there was user data on the OSX partition. As far as I know it should work, especially if you're using the exact same model of Mac throughout.
It is a long winded process, but I am sure Apple don't really want you to run Windows on a Mac. They've just given users the option seeing as modern Macs are essentially PCs with an Apple logo slapped on the front!
Edit: I forgot to say, the reason I needed to install Windows 7 as new each time, is because otherwise the option to boot to Windows or Mac (by pressing and holding the Option key), Windows didn't appear in the list. Clearly in the process of installing Windows 7, something must be written to either the Mac BIOS or Mac partition allowing users to select from one or the other.
The other nice feature of upgrading to Mavericks (if you're running OSX 10.6 for example), is it creates its own restore partition which is handy if you've no longer got the original restore discs as with earlier Macs.

The good news is, once you have updated the mac os to the latest versions and run bootcamp, once this has been completed, everything else is plain sailing
We use "Boot picker" it gives staff members and pupils the chance to choose which OS they want to use when turning the machine on.
Deploy Studio and WinClone ( Using DeployStudio and Winclone Pro to Image a Lab of Dual-Boot Macs )
Casper and WinClone ( Using JAMF Casper Suite and Winclone Pro to Image a Lab of Dual-Boot Macs )
Older guide for OS X 10.5 + and Win XP ( Dual boot cloning for Macs with Boot Camp | LikeableBias )
Then, we setup a Clonezilla Live USB stick as appose to using PXE/Network Boot, and took an image of the Mac using, as far as I can remember, the default settings in Clonezilla... We then booted to the USB stick from another Mac (fresh from the box), and this time used it to copy an image to the deivce, again, from what I remember using the default settings.
I've not got my Clonezilla Live stick on me today, but I'll boot to it tomorrow and check exactly what options were used.
Yeah it does sound as though he's not using a Mac Server now you mention it, so let's just pretend I never mentioned the Magic Triangle...
gtg93 (28th January 2014)
Do you have WDS? As you can create a deploy cd or usb stick and deploy a windows image to each mac if you create a partition on them.
I've got a link somewhere if you want it?

Cenk talks about the highest rated night time cable news shows among CNN and MSNBC. Kim Horcher talks about her family nickname.
thadpen says
I wonder what was the deal with Keith Olbermann. How did he crap on TYT when he was leaving? Hadn't heard about any of that.
asabrantes says
I have noticed by staying in hotels around the country that some basic cable packages in certain areas only carry Fox News. Other news channels are on a different service tiers that cost more money. Sometimes the basic tier is just Fox and CNN. This must have an effect on potential audience size and ratings.
poorandimmature says
Damn I think Jayar made the best point on Fox News' ratings.
OppressedWriter says
Also, I live in the south, and used to be a server, and every restaurant I worked at Fox News was always on by default. So, that certainly gives it an edge.
Brandi Ray says
That is definitely something I hadn't thought of. I live in NY, in between rural and city, I think it is a pretty healthy mix of political leanings. I see Fox News on in a lot of doctor's office waiting rooms and once in a while a diner or something. It had never really occurred to me that all those "playing to no one" tvs were also counted, hah.
reba says
I know people who always ask to have the channel changed when a public place has Fox News on. It usually works, I guess because they care what paying customers want. I always thought that was a good idea. I imagine that there are probably some places where that wouldn't work and I personally wouldn't even bother trying!
yakko82 says
Classic TYT intro thanks to Jayar or Jesus. Whoever picks the music!
Mark Register says
Jayar Jackson is the music man.
GeneralGhost says
Good post game, but i will say Fox News wins in ratings because of old white Americans, As the country starts to get younger and more colored Internet news sites are becoming more and more popular because mainstream news sites are tailored towards Older viewers. Young People like my self ( I am 26 years old) have given up on cable news and on TV news in general, because in large we have lost faith in corporate owned media. That's one of the main reasons i became a TYT fan because i know what Cenk and the others are speaking are their own honest opinions.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

From CofC Math Department's Stephane Lafortune:
Using keyboard with TeX Writer isn't something new, but this one looks better than Apple's!
From CofC Math Department's Stephane Lafortune:
Using keyboard with TeX Writer isn't something new, but this one looks better than Apple's!
An India App Store Review
I am a die-hard fan of LaTex and it was one of the things I missed on my iPad until I found this application on AppStore. I was extremely delighted to find this tool for iPad. I immediately bought it and started using it. Infact, my uncle who is a dentist and obsessed with Apple Inc. products finds this application very useful. Although, non-technical but he still bought this application and learned LaTex. He is using it for all his Patients prescriptions, bills, and receipts and even knows how to embed pictures in Tex documents.
Today, Duke Nukem 2 for iOS is available for download in iOS App Store. It's powered by AEMULA, an 80486 PC Emulator for ARM, and developed by Interceptor Entertainment team, which I am proud to be part of.
I wrote a bit about its development here but first things first GO GET IT !
I've received a lot of feedbacks on package installation. People don't like it at all. It's too much work. On the other hand, I don't like to bundle everything into the app and blow it into some hundreds-of-megabytes monster. Therefore in TeX Writer v1.5 we introduce an on-demand package downloader to make everyone happy. By default it's off. You will need to go to settings and turn "Auto download" on. If this feature is proven to be stable, then we'll try to turn it on by default in future.
Here is how it works: During compilation, if a package file is neither found in the bundled app folder nor in the texmf-local directory, TeX Writer will try to look it up in online repository (Internet connection is required). If a match is found, the package will be downloaded into texmf-local. And next time, it will just use the one in texmf-local without looking for online version any more. If you would like to redownload everything, just delete the texmf-local folder.
Another good news for CJK Chinese and Greek users: you don't need to download the zip files and install them manually. All the files and fonts will be downloaded on demand. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection. Both of them are large packages.
This is a very special writing app that I created mostly for myself. I am not even sure if there is another person sharing the same needs as mine. It is designed for you to completely focus on writing. By separating writing from editing, it helps you focus more on getting your ideas out. Using it is like sitting in front of a typewriter and watching words flow out of your finger tips.
Everything you put down on the page is permanent. All the typing is saved as a PDF file, including the positions, the font size, and the colors that the texts come out with. No matter where and when you are going to view these pages, they will be kept exactly same as the time you typed them.
Fixed cursor sits right above the keyboard, therefore your eyes will be close both to the text you're typing and the fingers, and that can help to reduce typing errors.
You can start typing on the page at any place by tapping on that location and use any margin you want by moving the page. It is very easy to type aligned texts.
An extension keybar includes frequently used keys like ' or ; that are difficult to access in iOS' default keyboard.
Write Only is good for writing the first version of any work, especially diary or journal. When you come back to your writings years later, the shapes of the text and the errors you made will help you remember the moments of the writing.

March 29: Midday Fix - Keep Your Home Illinois
Mary Kenney
Foreclosure Prevention Workshop
Saturday, March 31
9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Morton West High School
2400 Home Avenue
IFPN Homeowner Tips:
Don't ignore the problem. The further behind you become, the harder it will be to reinstate your loan because you'll have fewer options and the more likely that you will lose your house.
Act fast, even if you are not in foreclosure yet. If you are struggling to pay your mortgage, or had a reduction in income or expect an income reduction soon, find free relief now so you are not stretching, don't wait until you've exhausted all of your savings.
Visit the Illinois Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN) website to find free housing counselor -- www.keepyourhomeillinois.org or call the IFPN hotline at 1-855-KEEP-411 (1-855-533-7411). Foreclosure counseling more than doubles a homeowner's chance of receiving a loan modification and reduces the likelihood of re-default by 67%.
Attend a free, foreclosure prevention workshop like the IFPN Keep Your Home Illinois event in Berwyn March 31. On-site resources can help you whether you are in foreclosure or just struggling to pay your mortgage.
Open and respond to all mail from your lender. The first notices you receive will offer good information about foreclosure prevention options that can help you. Your failure to open the mail will not delay or stop the foreclosure process.
Know your mortgage rights. Find your loan documents and read them so you know what your lender may do if you can't make your payments.
Understand foreclosure prevention options. Valuable information can be found online.
Avoid so-called foreclosure prevention companies. Never pay a fee for foreclosure prevention help -- use that money to pay the mortgage instead and find a FREE qualified housing counselor by calling 1-855-KEEP-411.
Never sign a legal document without reading and understanding all the terms and getting professional advice from a housing counselor. If you sign a document appointing someone else to act on your behalf, you may be signing over the title to your property and becoming a renter in your own home!
Maintain a household budget. A budget helps you recognize problems before they arise, and you can then change your commitments and behavior to prevent them. A housing counselor can help you with this.

Jake says, "Yeah."
There are many variations on this story, and your teen may need help in different areas from Jake. But the approach described here — initiating a dialog, listening to what your teen has to say, and offering positive reinforcement and encouragement — can often get things moving in the right direction.
However, if you find that you and your teen continue to struggle in spite of your efforts, it might be helpful to talk to a counselor or to ask your teen's diabetes care provider for a referral to a mental health care professional. Sometimes a few sessions are all that it takes to get over a tough spot and start moving forward again. A counselor would also be able to evaluate your teen for depression if that is a concern.
The good news is that often, as teens turn 18 or 19 and move into the adult world, their attitude shifts, and they come back and say, "Could you go over that one more time? I'm now ready to hear it!"
So to all parents who are in the middle of it, have faith and hope that with perseverance, patience, love, and encouragement, your teen will do well.
For a listing of books and online resources to help your teens take charge of his diabetes and to reach out to other parents facing the same challenges, see "Resources for Parents and Teens."

Welcome to Bowman County, the heart of North Dakota's agriculture and oil industries!
Bowman County's economy relies heavily on its number one industry - agriculture. Farm and ranch operations are diversified, incorporating both crops and livestock production. Spring wheat is the most extensive crop planted, but many others include peas, hay, oats, barley, rye, corn and sunflowers.
Beef cattle and sheep are also an important part of the economic cycle of Bowman County. With the wide open spaces and ample prairies, the County is ideal for cattle production. The livestock industry dates back to the early 1890's and is still one of our most important occupations.
Bowman County's energy sector is its largest employer with abundant oil and natural gas exploration and production. After years of production, the county ranks as North Dakota's fifth largest oil producer and the state ranks as second largest in the nation.
Come to the place where endless opportunity and ideal quality of life meet!
Employment opportunities: click this box for more information. //// The Bowman County Courthouse will be closing at Noon on Wed, Dec 24 and will re-open Mon, Dec 29.
Several oil companies with producing wells in North Dakota have found themselves in a conundrum with this month's announcement of crude oil prices falling below $56 per barrel.
Calendar of all meetings including commission, local boards and those hosted by county departments.
At an elevation of 3,192 feet Rhame is the highest of all cities in ND and was named for Mitchell Davison Rhame, a district engineer for the railroad.
Scranton was founded in 1907 along the Milwaukee Rail and was named after Scranton, PA - like that city, it was located within a region of coal mining.

Real Name: Kristin Laura Kreuk
Was Born: December 30, 1982. Vancouver, BC
Bio: Kristin Kreuk had plans to study either psychology, environmental science, or forensic science at Simon Fraser University when a casting director for the CBC TV series Edgemont contacted her secondary school, looking for an exotic-looking girl to play the part of a Chinese Canadian, Laurel Yeung on the Vancouver-shot show.

Book Review - Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's Tale
Chasing Francis is about a pastor who has lost his faith. He travels to Italy to visit his uncle, a Franciscan priest, who suggests he study the teachings and life of Francis of Assisi.
The best part of this reading experience were the many lines that made me stop and underline them, put down the book, and think. Like this: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you're doing the impossible" (a quote from St. Francis). Or this: "The Bible isn't simply a book that tells us what to do; it's also a story that tells us who we are." And this series of thoughts as the pastor is trying to imagine what a church inspired by Francis might look like today:
"Beauty can break a heart and make it think about something more spiritual than the mindless routine we go through day after day to get by....In a fallen world, beauty is a form of protest, a way to push back against the darkness.... We're all broken people who've lost our dignity, in one way or another....What if we all, as a church, decided to make one of our distinctives being restorers of people's dignity?"
Kind of a beautiful idea, right?
I learned so much about Saint Francis in this book, but it was woven into the narrative with skill. An entertaining, inspiring, edifying read.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for this review.

We want to live our lives to the full, while keeping our planet healthy and beautiful so our children can do the same. Revolutionising the way we use and produce energy is not only necessary; it is the safest and easiest way to protect our way of life. It's time we chose a clean energy future.
Coal exported from Australia, when burnt, creates more greenhouse gas emissions than every other source of emissions in Australia combined. Right now, Australian mining companies are planning to double coal exports. This drives climate change even harder at a time when Australians are suffering its effects: extreme weather, bush fires, flooding and more. Greenpeace is working to halt the reckless expansion of coal exports by stopping new export terminals proposed for the Great Barrier Reef coast. Read more
Globally, the investment in the renewable energy industry is overtaking fossil fuels like coal. If the world fails to stop the last generation of coal power being, global climate change goals will not be reached. This is good news for people in China and India, where air pollution from coal power stations is killing thousands and sucking vital water sources dry. Greenpeace is speaking out in support of clean energy initiatives around the world by promoting a future that does not rely on fossil fuels for energy. Read more
Around the world, fossil fuel companies are encroaching further and deeper into our few remaining pristine environments to exploit resources. Who's going to stop them?
If there's one fact to remember which underlines the urgency in protecting the Arctic it's this: in 30 years we've lost 75 per cent of the Arctic sea ice.
UPDATE: When Prime Minister Gillard declared there would be no new dirty power stations built in Australia, could she have known what Energy Minister Minister Ferguson had planned for her?
Today we are astounded by the decision by Mr Ferguson...
After months of being on the verge of breaking up, the container ship, the Rena has finally split in two, and the stern has sunk. This draws to an uncertain close another chapter in the Rena saga.
Hundreds of protesters have amassed on the steps of Parliament House in Melbourne today, calling on the Victorian and Federal Governments to cancel a new dirty coal project in the Latrobe Valley.
There is a proposal on the table to create Australia's biggest ever coal mine smack bang on top of a nature refuge in Queensland. This coal mine marks a terrifying new push by the coal industry to dramatically increase Australia's coal exports,...

Dummerston officials assess bridge damage
Updated On: Apr 03 2013 08:37:20 AM EDT
Dummerston town officials assessed damages to the West Dummerston Covered bridge after sustaining damages earlier this week.
The iconic bridge built in 1872 was struck by a too- tall rental truck sunday. Trim boards on the east side of the structure were broken, as was a crossbeam overhead.
Officals say the damages were only superficial and the core of the structure is still solid.
A local contractor will assess the damage Wednesday and provide an estimate in time for the town's select board meeting.
Police have identified the driver who hit the bridge as William Miller, 23, of Dummerston.
He told authorities he failed to see the height limit posted at the bridge and is cited to appear in court May 7 to answer charges of leaving the scene of an accident.

Words With Friends: Zynga COO Says 'I Quit'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you're looking for someone to play Words With Friends with, former Zynga (ZNGA) chief operating officer John Schappert may accept the invite. Or given his abrupt resignation, he may not.
Schappert, an industry executive who came from Electronic Arts (EA), is resigning, effectively immediately, according to an 8-K filing the company made.
Schappert resigned from the board of directors, as well as from the COO post. He was a member of the mergers and acquisitions committee of the board.
The San Francisco, Calif.-based social gaming company recently went through a reorganization, as it tries to focus on revenue growth amidst its recent weak earnings guidance for the rest of 2012. Zynga cited "delays in launching new games, a faster decline in existing web games due in part to a more challenging environment on the Facebook web platform, and reduced expectations for Draw Something." It now sees earnings of 4 to 9 cents a share. Wall Street analysts were looking for earnings of 27 cents per share.Zynga's chief mobile officer David Ko and EVP of games Steve Chiang will report to CEO Mark Pincus. They had previously reported to Schappert. "The company noted that Mr. Schappert has made significant contributions to the games industry throughout his career and it appreciates all that he has done for the company. The company further noted that Mr. Schappert leaves as a friend of the company and it wishes him all the best," the filing said. Shares of Zynga fell 2.06% to close at $2.95 in Wednesday trading, and were down by 2% in after hours trading. Interested in more on Zynga? See TheStreet Ratings' report card for this stock.

A member of the Arkansas Business 40 Under 40 Class of 2011, Burris was planning to open two new clinics when he was honored two years ago but has shifted gears, selling the Central Arkansas Orthodontics Associates practices he owned with a partner and, in March, purchasing Arkansas Orthodontics.
Burris now owns Braces by Burris and Arkansas Orthodontics, with 10 clinics, five under each practice.
"It's that old Starbucks thing about staying small while getting big," Burris, 41, said.
Among his many sidelines, Burris is co-founder of Hixson-Burris Media, which delivers market-driven content to orthodontists and dentists and includes the Progressive Orthodontist Magazine. He is a clinical professor at Roseman University in Henderson, Nev., maintains a blog and conducts speaking engagements and presentations.
Perhaps the most rewarding of Burris' "extracurricular activities" is the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation, the nonprofit founded by Burris. Through participating orthodontists around the country, Smile for a Lifetime helps provide orthodontic care to those who may not have the means to afford it.
Burris said that last year Smile for a Lifetime, with 140 chapters in the United States and Canada, gave out more than 1,000 scholarships, the term Burris prefers.
Noting that the national average cost for braces is close to $6,500, Burris stressed the foundation is not doing charity work but rather selecting deserving children who are well-behaved and good students. "The coolest thing is the parents call you and say, 'Thank you for giving my kid something I couldn't,'" Burris said. "Who gets to do that?"
Burris, planning a reunion of the first Smile for a Lifetime chapter in August, said the reward is watching children who are afraid to even make eye contact at first suddenly become proud of their smiles.
As for the practices, the backbone of the operation, Burris said he is in the process of integrating the 10 clinics while allowing doctors their individuality. "Let's say we all have the same golf clubs but we play a little differently," Burris said.
