CARMI, Ill. (AP) -- White County officials have rescued a woman who spent more than a day trapped in mud near the Little Wabash River.
The White County Sheriff's Department said Monday it found 39-year-old Amy Chitwood of Carmi stuck near the river after responding to a call from a fisherman. He contacted police Sunday about what he thought was a dead body on the river bank.
Responders found Chitwood thigh-deep in mud. She had injured her hip and couldn't free herself, but she was conscious and alert.
EMT Adam Allen tells WSIL-TV it took crews about half an hour to free her.
Chitwood was treated at an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Bonham -- They have a saying at Morning Star Academy to explain the phenomenal growth of this non-denominational Christian school: "God has to be a part of this."
Morning Star Academy has been one of the true success stories in Fannin County this year and the story is about to get even better; as its first year wraps up, Morning Star Academy is currently expanding to include programs for infants aged six weeks all the way through 6th grade.
"We started the year with 30 kids," says MSA Director Brandy Burns. "Now we are up to 90 kids and exploding."
Initial plans called for Morning Star Academy to enroll children six weeks old through first grade in the 2013-2014 school year and then add one additional grade level each school year.
"We quickly realized that plan would limit families," Ms. Burns states, "so we are currently enrolling students through sixth grade. We would love to continue growing with our kids, but much of this depends on continued growth."
The community quickly embraced Morning Star Academy, as evidenced by a benefit golf tournament that raised $13,000 and another benefit at Easter that brought in $7,000. Since the facility opened debt-free, all the money raised at these two events goes for scholarships. The next fundraiser will be a rummage sale June 7 from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
"The tuition is reasonable, but so much of that is available through scholarships," explains Burns.
The latest construction work at Morning Star Academy will result in a gymnasium, an art room, a music room, a science lab and an extra classroom.
The summer program will prove to be popular with area youth, as Discovery Camp offers a mix of fun and academics.
The summer curriculum could include culinary class, fashion design and engineering if there is enough demand. Two splash days and a field trip each week are included. A new P.E. coach will be hired this summer to set up basketball, soccer and jogging programs.
Morning Star Academy is conveniently located approximately 25 minutes from the Sherman-Denison area and 30 minutes from Durant. There isn't an educational facility in Texoma that compares to this state-of-the-art school that will now provide a unique learning experience for children six weeks old through sixth grade.
Burns says that this wasn't only a very successful first year at Morning Star Academy; it was also a lot of fun for the staff and the students.
"We enjoy what we do," remarks Burns, "and the kids pick up on that."

Ramona's White playing through
Bulldogs' outside hitter has undiagnosed condition that limits court time
"Billy is a thin beast," Klauda said. "He's got major ups and long arms. … The majority of the time Billy's going to find a way to put the ball away. He's been our big difference-maker."
But there are days when the debilitating symptoms send White off the floor. Against losses to Palomar League rivals Torrey Pines and Rancho Bernardo, White wasn't feeling well.
"He was struggling (against the Falcons)," Klauda said. "He didn't want to come out. He kept fighting through and still played a pretty darn good game. When we played Rancho Bernardo, it was pretty bad. He was in and out of the lineup."
If the Bulldogs have White in the lineup, Klauda likes their chances this season and heading into today's Scripps Ranch Tournament.
"If we play to our potential," said Klauda, "there's no reason we can't be right there with the other teams in the finals and playing for a championship."

Hey! Sorry to bother you guys but I got a question to be answered by you. I have seen many zedgers posting in old threads that are not being answered since years or where the problem asked is already solved. Some of the zedgers keep posting in their own guestbook just to have an increment in their number of posts. I just want to know does the number of GB posts and Forum posts really matters here on zedge?? or they are just "numbers".
Thanks in advance.

Malcolm Gladwell
- Malcolm has been a staff writer with The New Yorker magazine since 1996. From 1987 to 1996, he was a reporter with the Washington Post, where he covered business, science, and then served as the newspaper's New York City bureau chief. He graduated from the University of Toronto, Trinity College, with a degree in history. He was born in England, grew up in rural Ontario, and now lives in New York City.

Denialism – Irrational Thinking is Common – Michael SpecterMonday, January 25th, 2010
Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives by Michael Specter deals with how large sections of our society are in denial about things that science supports. Included are topics like child immunizations, genetic engineering of our food supply, alternative medicine, and race-based medication. The following quote should give you some idea of what to expect:
"Denialism is not green or religious or anti-intellectual, nor is it confined to utopian dreamers, agrarians, or hippies. It is not right- or left-wing; it is a fear expressed as frequently and with as much fervor by Oxford dons as by bus drivers."
Although the book is science centered, you don't have to be a scientist to follow it.

Discipline Survival Guide – Get One For Your SchoolThursday, August 25th, 2011
In the Discipline Survival Guide for the Secondary Teacher, 2nd Ed, (©2011, Jossey-Bass: San Francisco, CA) Julia Thompson takes on what may be the most unpleasant part of the profession and a top reason why teachers leave. She draws on up-to-date research and theory that can help students become more self-disciplined, goal-oriented, and successful learners as teachers enhance leadership skills. She focuses on student motivation, classroom management, relationships, instructional techniques, safety, and high expectations. This 350 page effort is easy to read and can be used as a desktop reference. My summary contains key ideas, but there is a lot more I left out. Every student teacher, beginning teacher, and veteran teacher with discipline problems should have this at their side. Lots of advice for parents too. As a former secondary teacher and elementary principal, I can assure you most of this applies to students of all ages.

His goal is to help teachers learn how to care for all students by listening with all their hearts to the voices of students. Click the icon at the bottom of any page to purchase this fine book.

Driven by Data: A Practical Guide to Improve Instruction by Paul Bambrick-SantoyoThursday, August 21st, 2014
Driven by Data: A Practical Guide to Improve Instruction by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo offers a step by step approach to preparing your students for high-stakes tests while students work to master standards. While you may be hoping for the current testing madness to end, Paul offers a practical way for your school to out perform other schools with similar demographics while the current tests are still with us. Part two includes specific workshop activities for data leaders.
Paul Bambrick-Santoyo
- Paul is managing director of Uncommon Schools, leading six schools in the North Star Academy network that have achieved some of the highest results in the country. He has trained over 2,000 school leaders nationwide, and is the Data-Driven Instruction faculty member for New Leaders for New Schools, an urban school leadership training program.
Physicals or Autopsies?
- Paul likens the analysis of end-of-year and high-stakes state testing to an autopsy where the purpose is to find out why the patient died. He prefers that educators spend their time looking at the results of interim tests and use them to inform instruction. This is similar to how a physician would use the results of a physical to determine treatment and recommend lifestyle changes. Paul also warns that data-driven instruction is not an elaborate stratagem for promoting "test prep." While he sees many faults in the NCLB testing culture, he is happy to see educators focusing more on accountability for student achievement, and interim assessments hold them accountable throughout the year.
Excellent Interim Assessments
- In order to be effective, interim assessments must be of high quality, which is seldom what you get when individual teachers slap something together at the end of a unit. The tests need to be in place prior to the start of the school year and be available to the teachers. Every teacher at the same grade level or subject should be using the same tests at the same time. This allows teachers to analyze the results together. Paul recommends assessments every six to eight weeks. Too seldom allows weaknesses to go unrecognized. Too often and teachers may not have time for satisfactory analysis. It is also important that teachers be involved in test creation or selection. Paul is ok with purchased tests as long a teachers get to see them. Some vendors don't allow this in order to maintain test validity.
- The tests are not seen as an end, but as a beginning. This is because they let the teachers know what needs to be taught and the desired level of rigor. When they are given, the results need to be available soon. (Doug: When I taught I always graded assessments the day they were given, and the students got the results as part of the next class. With some kinds of computerized testing, students can see their results immediately.)
Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life by William DeresiewiczFriday, December 19th, 2014
Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life by William Deresiewicz uses abundant qualitative research along with his own experience to paint a picture of a dysfunctional system and offer suggestions for how to fix it. There is serious advice for students and parents so they can avoid the traps the system offers. The system does a disservice to elite students who are almost uniformly wealthy as it screens out children from lower classes. While the rich have always had educational advantages, the disparity is worse than ever. Click the icon at the bottom of any page to purchase this thought provoking book for yourself and any policy makers, parents, and students you know.
William Deresiewicz
- William was a professor at Yale until 2008. He is the author of the landmark essays The Disadvantages of an Elite Education, and Solitude and Leadership, and the book A Jane Austin Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter. He is a frequent speaker on campuses around the country, a contributing writer for The Nation, and a contributing editor for The New Republic and The American Scholar.
- William believes that our elite universities have produced students who are smart, talented, and driven, but also anxious, timid, and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose. They are trapped in a bubble of privilege, heading meekly in the same direction, great at what they do, but with no idea why they are doing it. His real critique in the book is aimed at the adults who've made them who they are. He also aims to help students rescue themselves from the system. Even though it's aimed a college students, there are good lessons here for high school students, their parents, and educators everywhere.
1. The Students
- The students in this book appear to be the winners of the race that adults have made of childhood. While they appear healthy, beneath the surface we often find toxic levels of fear, anxiety, and depression. Surveys indicate that emotional well-being has fallen to its lowest level in the 25-year history of the study with half reporting feelings of hopelessness, and a third saying that depression has made it difficult to function. There is also an increase in the use of antidepressants, antianxietals, and stimulants like Adderall.
- Starting in grade school they are constantly jumping through hoops that include school work, athletics, music, and other activities that leaves them no time and no tools to figure out what they want out of life. Once they get into a selective school, they often have no idea why they are there. They have learned how to be a student, but not how to use their minds. Most are good at coloring inside the lines with little or no passion about ideas. There life is all about the accumulation of gold starts, and they can't imagine doing something that can't be put on a resume. Rather than learning as much as possible, they seek to do as little as possible as long as they get A's. Most students dress, look, and act the same so what passes for diversity looks more like 32 flavors of vanilla. The selection process produces students who have only experienced success, but this hides the fact they live with a constant fear of failure. They are risk adverse and are increasingly seeking fewer and fewer different majors.

Nokia readies two new CDMA phones
Nokia 3608 is a very simple clamshell, with 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD slot, two color displays and music controls when closed. It is very similar to the 3606 but lacks the AWS band.
Nokia 8208 on the other hand, is an interesting multimedia device. It is dual-slider, similar to the Nokia N95: on the one side it has numeric keypad and on the other, music controls. It features a 2.2-inch QVGA display with up to 16 million colors and 3-megapixel camera. The 150MB of built-in memory is expandable via microSD card, and a music player and FM radio are present as well, the battery is claimed for 20 hours of continuous play and a 3.5mm jack is present.
Nokia 3608 is said to use Series 40-like UI and the 8208/8208c has "Series 40 spec" user interface. We guess none of them uses real Series 40.

Ms. Edwards is my hero. If only other people would look up to her and put the personal gain aside for the greater good. People with cameras are ofter hidden behind their objectives as if they don't belong to this world but are merely observers. That's why this story brought me hope that things can change.

Looking forward to seeing my HDDs show up.
I started out last year running a 3 node cluster with some Mac Minis and my Synology. It's time to step up my game with my C6100 and some VSAN action. More to come over the next couple weeks as I build it out.
In Part 2 of the E-Learning video, we review how to create a blueprint from a template in vCloud Automation Center and entitle the end user. In order to automate the provisioning of the a virtual machine, we will create and configure the blueprint, publish the blueprint and add it to the service catalog and then entitle the catalog item to the appropriate user. After the machine is entitle and published to the catalogue, we will review the end user experience to provision the workload.
I recently worked with Ash D'Costa from Mainland Information Systems to produce two E-Learning videos covering the concepts in the Hands on Lab Use Case that we developed for VMworld 2014. The Hands On Lab is SDC-1406 - vCloud Suite 101 - The first steps in the journey to a Software Defined Enterprise.
In the first video, we covered the Capacity modelling using vCenter Operations Manager's 'What - If Scenarios' to validate if the Cluster that we will eventually use will have enough capacity to provision future workloads using vCloud Automation Center.
After getting ESXi installed on the Mac Minis and the vSphere vCenter Appliance deployed, my next step was to integrate my labs Active Directory with Single Sign On. Based on the documentation provided on the vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center, the AD integration was a pretty simple procedure and relies on a handful of fundamental components to complete.
- Domain Membership
- SSO Service Account
- Identity Source
- Groups and Permissions
Domain Membership:
The vSphere vCenter Server must be added to the Active Directory domain if vSphere SSO Active Directory integration is going to configured. If your vCenter is a Windows Server, it is a pretty standardized practice and a generally accepted prerequisite.
My lab is using the vCenter Server Appliance, so joining the domain is pretty simple.
- Connect to the vCenter Server Appliance Administration page located at https://[VCENTER_SERVER]:5480/ and login as root.
- Navigate to the Authentication tab under the vCenter Server configuration
- Fill out the domain name with the proper credentials with the proper permissions that will allow the computer account for the VCSA to be created in AD
- Save Settings but don't reboot the Appliance until the Identity Source has been set and the proper roles and permissions are configured.
SSO Service Account:
One of the requirements (if you are not using a machine account) for vSphere SSO Active Directory integration is to have a Service Principal Name (SPN) in Active Directory. To set the SPN, connect to the Domain Controller and create the Service Account for this purpose:
The SSO Service Account should be a dedicated account with the proper password expiry settings attributed to it.
Once the Service Account is created, open a command prompt as administrator on the Domain Controller and run the following command as depicted below:
setspn -S sts/[DOMAIN] [SERVICEACCOUNTNAME]
Ensure that the last line of the command returns with 'Updated object' before moving on to the next step.
Identity Source:
Identity sources allow you to attach one or more domains to vCenter Single Sign-On. A domain is a repository for users and groups that the vCenter Single Sign-On server can use for user authentication.
To set the identity source, ensure that the domain membership and SSOServiceAccount SPN settings are completed, then:
Login to the Web Client (https://[VCENTER}:9443/vsphere-client/) and connect to the vCenter Server using the email@example.com account. The password for the account from freshly deployed VCSA will be 'vmware'. Do not use & not "admin@system-domain" like you did in vCenter 5.1 SSO.
Navigate to Home > Administration > Single Sign-On > Configuration page
Use the + sign to add your domain as a new identity source. Select 'Active Directory (integrated Windows Authentication)' and complete the following fields as depicted below:
Domain name, Service Principle Name (SPN), User Principle Name (UPN) and the password that you set with your created the account in Users and Computers.
If all the fields are no longer outlined in red, you have completed the them successfully and can select OK. If the settings are correct the progress bar should complete in about 30-60 seconds and there will be an additional Identity Source listed in your configuration.
Once the Active Directory domain is added as an identity source for authentication, the proper group memberships and permissions must be setup in order to see the existing vCenter inventory components.
Groups and Permissions
Staying logged in with the email@example.com account; navigate to the 'Users and Groups' configuration section on the left hand side, select the Groups Tab in the middle and highlight the Administrators Group as in the picture below. Near the bottom of the page click the 'Add Member' button.
When the 'Add Principals' wizard pops up:
- User the domain drop-down list to select the Active Directory Domain.
- Select and highlight the Group or User account that will be used to access and administer the vCenter Server. I would recommend using a group membership.
- Use the Add button to populate the Users: or Groups: field below
- Select OK to make the changes.
Now that the Groups (or Users) are added into the correct group memberships (that correspond to the correct roles), the permissions to the vCenter must be applied.
Navigate to Home > vCenter > vCenters and highlight the VCSA instance name on the right hand side of the screen. Select the Manage tab > then select the Permissions tab and use the + [Add permission] button to add the same User or Group in the above example.
Using the Select Users/Groups wizard:
- User the domain drop-down list to select the Active Directory Domain.
- Select and highlight the Group or User account that will require permissions to administer the vCenter Server.
- Use the Add button to populate the Users: or Groups: field below
- Select OK to make the changes.
After about 30 seconds, the additional line(s) will show up with having the proper permissions to the vCenter inventory and components. This is the same functionality as setting roles and permissions in the traditional C# client.
Before testing out the access and permissions, remember to reboot the vCenter Server Appliance and allow the domain membership changes to take place.
After the appliance comes back up and the Web Services have started again, login to the Web Client interface and validate that the authentication and permissions are correct and functional.
An easy way to tell is the inventory and permissions are correct is to validate on the vCenter Home whether the existing vCenters, Hosts and VMs are showing up on the left hand side within the inventory as in the example below.
If you are running Windows, make sure to download and install the Client Integration Plug-in to enable the ability to use your currently logged in Active Directory credentials.
Next up: Storage and Networking design...
Installing vSphere on my new Mac Minis was my first jump into running vSphere on Apple hardware. After doing my homework and some google-fu was able to stand up the 3 hosts in a little under an hour. Below is what I needed to get completed to be successful.
Although there are a couple different ways of getting vSphere installed on the hosts I elected to go with using a USB Boot Image to install onto the 8 Gb Cruzer Fit Usb Flash Drives using William Lam's custom ISO.
After getting the hosts up and running and allowing the memory to burn in, I had to ensure that the Thunderbolt drivers where installed so that I could start creating my portgroups and vDS configs.
I grabbed a copy of William Lam's vghetto vib (vghetto-apple-thunderbolder-ethernet.vib) and uploaded it to the local datastore of each of the freshly built hosts. After enabling remote admin in the security profiles, I connected to each host and ran the following command:
esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/[DATASTORE]/vghetto-apple-thunderbolder-ethernet.vib -f
After each of the operations completed successfully, I rebooted the host and verified that the pNIC was showing in the Web Client under Host > Manage > Networking > Physical Adapters (below)
Once my Synology SAN arrives in the next week, I can get started on some more of the fun stuff (vDS and Storage configuration).
Next up: vSphere 5.5 SSO Integration with Active Directory
I have finally started on my home lab build. It was time to bite the bullet even though I have some great internal resources to VMware including the same infrastructure that our VMworld HOL runs on (OneCloud). This lab build will allow me to get back into the weeds with technical details and help me specialize on Cloud Management tools. The end state will be a full end-to-end integrated demo of the vCloud Suite 5.5; including vCenter Operations, Log Insight, vCO, vCloud Director, vCloud Automation Center & Application Director with a little Horizon Suite for flavor.
After seeing (and not hearing) Mark's lab in his office, it was clear that I needed a whisper quiet setup. After hearing a lot about the Mac Mini ESXi build in the wild from guys like William Lam and Dave Savercool, I decided to follow suit with my own twist. Special thanks to Rad for suggesting going with the following:
The list:
- 3x Refurbished Mac mini 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (2012)
- 3x Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
- 3x Patriot Memory Mac Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Memory
- 3x Cruzer Fit USB Flash Drive (8 GB)
- Synology DS1512+ Diskless System High Performance NAS
- 3x Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Drives
- 1x Cisco SG200-26
Next up: Detailed Solution Design, assembly, and vSphere 5.5 installs. To be continued.
VMware vCloud Connector received an update today with it's 2.5 release. This update comes shortly after the introduction of VMware's Hybird Cloud Service (vHCS).vCloud Connector Core is available to all current vSphere and vCloud Director customers as a free download. To get support for the Core edition of vCloud Connector, you must have an active support contract for vSphere or vCloud Director.
vCloud Connector Advanced includes the Data center Extension and Content Sync features, is available as a part of the vCloud Suites and the VMware vCloud Hybrid Service.
One of the new features in vCloud Connector 2.5 includes the ability to perform bulk offline workload migration to VMware vHCS. Offline Data Transfer (ODT) can be requested as a service from MyVMware with VMware provided NAS with up to 12TB of space per device.
There has also been improvements with in transfer performance using path optimization and the UDT protocol. The previous version the transfer from the vCC Nodes used a sequential method that exported the VM to source node as VMDK & OVF, then transferred the VMDK & OVF to destination node and finally imported the VMDK & OVF from destination node into the destination Cloud. Using Path Optimization the export / transfer / import process all run in parallel to fully utilize the full bandwidth of the connection.
vCloud Connector Advanced Edition includes the ability to extend your data-center in to a public cloud by creating a Layer 2 extension over a SSL VPN tunnel. Data Center Extension (DCE) give you the ability to move workloads from the data center to the secondary data-center or public cloud while
retaining its network settings, including MAC & IP addresses. Avoiding these networking changes for applications and servers within your infrastructure speeds up the ability to migrate workloads in (and out) of a publicly provided service or secondary data-center. Keep in mind that this is transfer that requires the workload(s) to be powered off during the migration.
The content synching ability allows you to publish a vCloud catalog or vSphere folder and then
subscribe to it from one or multiple vSphere folders or vCloud catalogs. When changes are made to the folder or catalog on either end, the changes are synchronized to it's partner. This functionality enables the you to provision new workloads to either data-center depending on your preference or the requirements of the application without worrying about if a template or catalog item is up to date or the latest version.
The vCloud Connector FAQ provides answers to many common questions around this release.
VMware has released an update to it's widely adopted management stack. vCenter Operations Manager Suite 5.7.1 includes some long awaiting updates and a new product into the family that ties in another layer of integrated management for the entire landscape of existing infrastructure. Here are some of the highlights of new features and functionality of the complete solution.
VMware vCenter Log Insight:
Releasing in to an open beta as of today, vCenter Log Insight opens up the door for quicker troubleshooting with integration into vCenter Operations Manager as a core product. From the vCenter Operations dashboards, there is In-context application launch capabilities which are pluggable for suite & third-party products. This give an administrator the ability to view log analytics events notifications with relevant resource context. In turn this significantly reduces the time to resolve issues and get back to work.
For more about vCenter Log Insight, see my featured post here.
vCenter Operations Manager as a core product has also introduced some new features in addition to the new member of the family above. There new dashboards targeted at troubleshooting, specific virtual machines, hosts & clusters as well as newer heatmaps & alerts views.
One of the new dashboards include pre-built dashboards for vSphere utilization and performance indicators based on VMware best practices including the 10 most requested dashboards from customers and field that shows KPIs for a vSphere environment.
Troubleshooting dashboard example:
There are also new canned dashboards from a VM perspective showing key metrics including a Top 25 lists to identify the top VM resource consumers at-a-glanc.
Virtual Machine specific / Host and Cluster example:
Updated heatmaps display metrics for CPU, Disk, Memory & Network for easy comparison.
Heatmap example:
Fresher looking alerts dashboard provides additional troubleshooting information at a glance including operation centric alert views - Datacenter workload, Relationshi based view and Filtering capability.
Alert example:
Another key update to the vCenter Operations Manager core functionality is added reporting abilities. These reports give administrators and operations groups the ability to provide easy to understand reporting to the application owners and lines of business within the organization. You can easily assess performance impact to clusters/datastores from increased VMs/demand over last week as well as identify which clusters, datastores, VMs had performance problems last week.
Balance profiles are also something of specific interest to me and a welcomed new feature that enable the delivery of scalable functionality and metrics without compromise to vCenter Operations functionality. The Balanced profile will be default profile for fresh vCenter Operations install. For upgrades, the previously selected profile will be not be change.
For more information about the updated vCenter Operations Suite head to the product page on vmware's website.
VMware has released it latest application included in the latest update to the vCenter Operations Suite; VMware vCenter Log Insight. Below is the breakdown and high level points that you should know about this new product and how it rolls into the Management Suite of products.
Approach to Log Management: Leverage existing suite:
Extending on the patented analytics engine from vCenter Operations and using it to get dynamic thresholds and analysis from any log files within your infrastructure. Log Insight extends analytics to logs, giving real-time actionable operational intelligence
Ensure that it is easy to use and accessible:
Today, existing solutions are either highly specialized, or too expensive. Log Insight has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface; and a predictable pricing model with unlimited amount of log data, making it accessible to all.
Integration into the vSphere Infrastructure:
Log Insight comes with built-in knowledge and native support for vSphere. Integration with vCenter Operations maximizes ROI and value, providing a complete cloud operations management solution
When would Log Insight come in handy for Operations or Administrators in a Virtual Infrastructure Environment?
Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis:
- I observed a problem (e.g. slowness), try to troubleshoot the problem and identify the part of the stack that is responsible (e.g. network delay vs storage)
- Follow the trail from vCenter Operations to logs to get to root cause to an observed problem
Monitoring Using Logs:
- Monitor metrics and events (performance & change) that are visible only in logs
- Collect all the data in one place without the need for custom parsing, transformation of data.
One of the greatest things I found about the Log Insight is the direct integration in vSphere Web Client and vCenter Operation Manager to keep in tune with the tight integration in the Cloud Management Suite of tools.
With the vSphere Content Pack you can collect and visualize all of the data from your vSphere vCenter and ESXi hosts:
vSphere content pack has been created based on PSO and GSS knowledgebase to
provide the most authoritative knowledge about vSphere log management,
troubleshooting and monitoring. You get pre-configured dashboards on best practices the VMware experts and the community.
Included in the Advance and Enterprise version of vCenter Operations Manager you can now natively open Log Insight from the Operation Manager Dashboard:
If you want to try it out, as of today (June 11th) there is an open beta. Head on over, check it out and see how it stacks up to competitors like Splunk, Solarwinds and SumoLogic.

Criticism of senators role in agriculture provision illustrates concerns about Congress
WASHINGTON — Late last month, the U.S. Senate was once again under deadline pressure. The eleventh hour was approaching and Congress had to pass a stopgap budget bill to avert a federal government shutdown looming at the end of March.
The bill passed the Senate after a flurry of last-minute amendments on March 20. The House of Representatives approved it the next day. Buried in the 587-page package, a rider nicknamed the "farmer assurance provision" drew little notice.

Activity-based hospital funding healthy way to go
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
By Stephen Duckett
Published by , Wednesday 5 March 2014
Six Australian public hospitals do more than 200 hip replacements a year. In one, the cost of a hip replacement is $9700 a patient. In another it is $23,400, nearly 2 ½ times higher.
Similarly, the cost of a common treatment for gallstones – laparoscopic cholecystectomy – ranges from $4100 to $7900 a patient, depending on the hospital.
Grattan Institute's new report, Controlling costly care: a billion-dollar hospital opportunity, reveals substantial differences in costs among Australia's public hospitals. Much of this cost can be avoided. If it is, nearly $1 billion will be freed up to address other needs every year.
When state finances are tight, such large differences cry out for attention. There is also a moral imperative: it is unethical to ration services or shift costs to consumers when there is inefficiency in the system that, with better management, could be reduced and the savings used to address unmet needs or future cost pressures.
The opportunity to free up this money comes because all states and territories are implementing activity-based funding for their public hospitals. Under this system, hospitals are funded on the basis of what they do – their activity – not in block grants or on the basis of previous funding arrangements, as used to be the case.
The costs of patients vary for a host of legitimate reasons, even after taking their illnesses into account. Some people may respond better to treatment; social factors such as homelessness also may affect treatment plans. The idea with activity-based funding is that these types of variation among patients will even out, with some costing more than average and some less.
Among hospitals, you'd also expect some variation. But the difference among Australian hospitals is far greater than is reasonable. Activity-based funding changes the incentives for public hospitals as the payment they get from state governments and the commonwealth is based on the average costs of similar patients nationally for commonwealth payments and in their state for state funding.
The big weakness of this approach is that it implicitly legitimises the existing distribution of costs. That is, the average takes into account the costs of all public hospitals, irrespective of whether they are delivering care in an efficient manner.
Grattan Institute's report recommends that states take out avoidable costs before setting the prices they pay hospitals. Avoidable costs are those that are substantially above the costs in the benchmark hospital in each state.
The policy shift isn't a simple matter of setting new prices. Other changes are also required.
Hospital managements need to be given information about their relative performance so they can identify savings opportunities. They need to be able to identify whether their cost problem is in cardiology or orthopedic surgery, whether it's about supplies or staffing. Different hospitals will have different problems that require different solutions. But hospital managements need to be given a strong incentive to fix their problem.
States also need to tighten up on their governance: reduce bail-outs to poorly performing hospitals and improve their ability to intervene when there are early indicators of things going wrong.
Hospital spending is the fastest growing area of government spending. Costs are projected to continue to grow as we introduce new technologies and respond to the impact of population growth and ageing.
We must keep healthcare affordable and the health budget in control. Rooting out inefficiencies in public hospital systems is a good place to start.

There's an additional $5.5 million, or 37 cents per share in long term investments. In total, each share of Richardson, currently trading at $11.30, represents $10.02 in cash and investments. Richardson also pays a 6 cents quarterly dividend, which equates to a 2.1% yield.

Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Even though Chevy denies buyers a Z71 version of the Silverado 2500HD, it wants you to know how cool it could be. Say hello to "Big Red," powered by a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel backed by a six-speed Allison transmission, it combines a number of GM performance accessories with Rancho shocks and an "Earnhardt Red" paint scheme similar to that found on last year's NASCAR-legend inspired offering.

Man, I'm fed up too, with ranchers on stolen Mexican land, land stolen to make room for more slave plantations, on land where Indians were massacred.
Those damn Mexican peasants, thrown off their own Mexican land by the two corporate parties' NAFTA, which destroyed the Mexican farming sector, who don't pay 1000 times their hourly salary and fill out forms to be denied legal entry or to be shown work on land in California that was stolen from them, where they can work for less than minimum wage, live in clapboard shacks, be deported for trying to unionize or killed by pesticides sprayed on them as they work the fields.
Those beaners, what will they want next!

"Fusion, Delusion and a Thirst for Blood: Bram Stoker and the Psychology of Vampires" has Kelly trying to explain the origin of the vampire myth, including why it's hung around so long, and if people who think they are vampires are really just mentally ill. Sounds very iiiiiiinteresting.

Oct. 24, 7 p.m., Free, Quinnipiac University School of Law Center, Grand Courtroom, 275 Mount Carmel Ave., Hamden, (203) 582-8652, quinnipiac.edu.
