Bomgar, the leader in enterprise remote support solutions, today announced that the Green Clinic is using its solution to provide secure, remote support to employees and medical devices within the geographically dispersed healthcare clinic. Located in Ruston, Louisiana, the Green Clinic was established in 1948 and has since developed into a multi-specialty group practice with approximately 50 physicians providing patient care that spans 25 different specialties. In addition, the clinic operates six satellite facilities, two in Ruston and four in the surrounding 80 mile rural area.
Prior to using Bomgar, the Green Clinic's IT department used LogMeIn Rescue and LogMeIn Central to provide remote support to users, but the tools couldn't meet all of their requirements. In addition to supporting desktop and laptop computers, clinic personnel began relying more heavily on smartphones and tablets to perform their work, and the IT department needed a remote support solution that could support those devices as well.
"Because we're a medical clinic, we can't put support issues on the back burner," said Jason Thomas, IT director and chief information officer for the Green Clinic. "Before Bomgar, when we got a call from one of our remote locations, we often had to send out a support rep to make sure the problem didn't disrupt their work. It was a time-consuming and expensive workflow."
With approximately 450 employees and 700 devices to support, Thomas and his team get a wide variety of support requests. About three and a half years ago, the clinic's IT department deployed a full electronic records management system for its facilities. "We chose a Dell KACE appliance for IT system management as part of that records management solution," said Thomas. "Dell KACE was running a promotion at the time to demo Bomgar. Once we tried it, we knew it was the remote support tool for us. It gave us everything we had with the previous tools and a whole lot more."
Security is another reason the clinic switched to Bomgar. "We have to be HIPAA compliant, so security underlies every single thing we do. We can't afford to have patient information lost or leaked. Our Bomgar B200 appliance is hosted within our firewall, not out in the cloud like the remote support tools we used previously. It also integrates with Active Directory for password authentication," said Thomas. Additionally, Thomas appreciates that Bomgar's Embassy feature enables him to securely control and monitor vendor access to the clinic's network. Using Embassy, Thomas can define privileges for each vendor that needs access to the Green Clinic's network, limiting the systems they can access. Bomgar logs every action a vendor takes while on the network for added security.
Overall, Thomas believes Bomgar plays an integral role in supporting the mission of the Green Clinic. "Our product is not selling things to people. Our product is the care we provide to patients," said Thomas. "If a nurse is tied up at her desk trying to get the system to work, she is not seeing a patient. The doctor then falls behind and we've got people sitting in the waiting rooms longer than necessary. So it all comes down to getting our staff back to providing healthcare as soon as possible. Bomgar is essential to accomplishing that goal."

By Yeshim Deniz The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Howard Risher is a private consultant who specializes in pay and performance.
The April 4 FCW.com article "How to link employee performance to organizational goals," by Michael Hardy, discusses an important performance management strategy in summarizing points made by a speaker at the recent FOSE Conference.
The idea, referred to as cascading goals, has been illustrated in textbooks on management for more than 30 years. The idea is simple. It starts with executives who define their performance goals in the context of the organization's goals. Then people at each succeeding level in the hierarchy define their goals to link to the goals at the level above.
Studies have shown that people are more engaged and motivated when they can see how their efforts contribute to achieving the goals of the organization. That understanding is referred to as line of sight. It's a very powerful idea at organizations where performance is managed by tracking progress in achieving goals.
In the private sector, the approach is virtually universal for executives, managers and professionals. Many companies have monthly meetings to discuss progress and address performance problems. But what was not discussed in the FCW.com article is the problem government agencies have with goal setting.
In the past year, I looked on the Office of Personnel Management website for examples of Senior Executive Service goals and found that even OPM has trouble distinguishing between activities, outputs and outcomes — and, of course, the examples were supposedly relevant to executive positions. Based on my limited exposure to government job descriptions, it seems there is an almost obsessive focus on activities.
It's well established that people with high, specific and self-accepted goals will perform better than employees who have no goals or "do your best" goals. Goals provide a focus to one's efforts, and people respond to the challenge.
There's also a connection to the recent focus on employee engagement. Gallup's research shows that employees who understand what is expected of them are more likely to be emotionally engaged in their work. Simply performing the same activities day after day is not going to trigger a sense of engagement.
In the business world, the achievement of goals is commonly linked to financial rewards via a formula. That linkage is important. Bonuses are subjective and determined after the performance period, but incentives are explicitly linked to measurable performance. The payout for precisely achieving a goal — known as a guideline award — is expressed as a percentage of salary (say, 20 percent). Actual awards are reduced for performance that falls below the goal or planned level and increased when performance exceeds the goal. It is the potential swing in the payout — possibly from 10 percent to 30 percent of salary — that provides the incentive.
The understood but typically unstated reason for placing so much emphasis on goal setting and potential incentive payouts is that it is way to hold employees accountable but also give them the freedom to tackle work-related problems. They control how much they earn.
All of that works well in the private sector. I have managed such programs at two large corporations and know it's virtually routine.
There is no reason to think it would not work just as well in government. The key is setting credible, meaningful goals for the organization. SMART — specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound — goals are essential if executives, managers and professionals are expected to align their goals accordingly.

My first reaction to the percentage formula was "You've got to be kidding". After calming down, I present the following:My salary has been frozen for two years, and congress is thinking about extending the freeze another three. This is partly due to budget problems, and the conclusion that feds are overpaid. If we went to a goal linked to salary model at the GS level, I can see the reward percentage being reduced due to budget problems. So my compensation could be reduced even if I have reached my goals. This doesn't sound like a very good deal to me.
A 10 to 30 percent award is motivating. The typical 1 to 3 percent performance awards in government, not so much. Last year, because of limits imposed by upper management, our agency couldn't even pay many of the awards that supervisors initiated. If it's money that motivates, then there needs to be some available for awards. And I can just hear the uproar in the news rags over "excessive" awards.

The Real America
Is vastly different that what you read about in the American press or on Facebook or Twitter. Well, in most of the press, that is. There are still a few real reporters out there. Like Salena Zito:
: Since boarding a jetliner on Christmas night last year, this reporter has logged more than 8,600 miles in 21 states and has interviewed more than 1,200 people registered as or identifying with Democrats, all in an attempt to tell the stories of their pocketbooks, their families and their America.
Reality is like gravity: It can pull you down in an instant. From a distance, pundits and reporters hail President Barack Obama's accomplishments and the ideology of his first term. Yet many voters who supported him in 2008 now face strikingly different realities.
Kelly Foote, a waitress at the Moonlight Diner, a classic old-time eatery on Tower Road in Denver, said she had a home, a car and a savings account in 2008 but "lost everything. Every bad economic condition … converged at the same time, and by 2010 I had lost it all."
The 40-year-old said business dropped by more than half "and I just couldn't keep up. I tried juggling but, in the end, I had to surrender everything."
Foote has not given up "on the possibility of what I can achieve" but won't vote for Obama.
I like Zito's reporting. She is actually reporting what her interviewees are saying, not spinning. I've mentioned before how I am being surprised – rather often – at how many people are paying attention. Little wisecracks that indicate that they are not buying the media spin. Small comments that indicate Obama has a lot more problems than the press lets on.
People are looking around and seeing what Obamanomics is doing to them. I don't think they like it as much as the press says they do. More than 90% of people are refusing to participate in polls or simply not picking up the phone when pollsters call.
I'm betting that the 91% have a different story than the one being dictated by Obama's media arm. I agree with Zito, the Real America is different than the fictional one the media lives in.

This review is from: Andrįs Schiff - Solo Piano Music (MP3 Download)
András Schiff is excellent as ever. The recording contains a huge amount of music. If it were only the Haydn sonatas it would be well stocked but with the Schumann and Smetana as well it really is terrific value for money as well. Highly recommended.

Never before seen Red Bull Stratos pics from ATA
- Dan Mayfield
- Reporter- Albuquerque Business First
- Email | Twitter | Reporter RSS Feed
Applied Technology Associates aerospace arm, ATA Aerospace, was an integral part of launching daredevil Felix Baumgartner into the stratosphere for his record-breaking fee-fall jump earlier this month.
An ATA crew from New Mexico worked to help inflate, and launch, the helium-filled balloon that carried Baumgartner. ATA released never-before-seen photos of the crew on the ground, the capsule, and Baumgartner just before the launch.
Tracy Gerber of ATA Aerospace was the flight director, managing nearly 100 people from an international crew that made the launch a success. Since the early 1990s, ATA Aerospace has been involved with various high-altitude balloon products for the Air Force Research Lab at Kirtland Air Force Base.
ATA Aerospace provided the launch preparation and support, as well as recovery, of the Stratos capsule. AFRL from Kirtland Air Force Base provided the equipment. ATA was founded in Albuquerque in 1975, ATA Aerospace was created in 2006 as a joint venture between Applied Technology Associates and ASRC Aerospace.
ATA Aerospace, a joint venture with ASRC Aerospace, provided several never-before seen photos of the balloon, and the launch.

SportMayweather begins Vegas sentence Welterweight begins three-month jail sentence for domestic violence that had been delayed for Miguel Cotto bout. 02 Jun 2012 09:44 GMT | Sport, Boxing Although Mayweather was sentenced last December, the judge deferred the jail term to allow him to fight Miguel Cotto on May 5, a decision that prosecutors opposed [Reuters]Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. was booked into a Las Vegas jail on Friday to serve a 90-day sentence for domestic violence against an ex-girlfriend, a term that was previously postponed so the welterweight fighter could compete in a bout.Mayweather, a flamboyant athlete regarded as the best defensive boxer of his generation, was issued standard dark blue prison garb and slippers and will be kept apart from the jail's general population of more than 3,000 other inmates, Las Vegas police said.The unbeaten Mayweather had the start of his jail term delayed in January so he could fight in a May 5 super welterweight bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where he came through 12 bruising rounds to prevail over Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto.After that contest, improving his professional record to 43-0, Mayweather discussed a possible fight with Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, his rival for the mythical title of the world's best pound-for-pound fighter.Fans have been clamouring for a Mayweather-Pacquiao matchup despite such stumbling blocks as Mayweather's insistence that Pacquiao agree to blood testing and disagreement over how the revenue from the fight should be divided.Guilty pleaMayweather's jail sentence stems from a guilty plea in December to a charge of felony battery and pleas of no contest to two counts of harassment linked to a 2010 attack on his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, and verbal threats against two of his children with her.Mayweather was sentenced to six months for that outburst, but half the jail term was suspended.The decision to delay his serving of the sentence, which was opposed by prosecutors, had been expected to benefit hotels and other businesses in Las Vegas. A major prize fight can generate $10 million to $15 million in non-gambling revenue.During his time in the Clark County Detention Centre, Mayweather will be confined to a cell consisting of a bed, toilet, sink and small desk, with a window to allow direct sunlight into the room, police said in a statement.He will be allowed two books or magazines in his cell, and up to five religious books, and will be fed three meals a day, starting with breakfast at 4 a.m.As a protective custody inmate, Mayweather will be kept in his cell while other inmates are on free-time, and will come out for free time for an hour a day while other inmates are on lockdown. During that time, he will have access to a recreation room, police said.Source: Reuters

UVU softball: Kylee Brinkerhoff wins PCSC player of the week
PORTLAND — After a consistent string of solid performances through a tough stretch of games at the Easton Desert Classic in Las Vegas last weekend, Utah Valley University leftfielder Kylee Brinkerhoff has been named the Pacific Coast Softball Conference's Player of the Week. The award was announced Tuesday by the league office.
A senior out of Spanish Fork, Utah, Brinkerhoff went 8-for-18 as the Wolverines squared off with three ranked opponents in last weekend's action.
Brinkerhoff went a combined 4-for-9 with two RBIs in UVU's three games against No. 7 Oregon, No. 9 California and No. 20 Hawai'i. She opened the weekend with a 2-for-3 performance, including a triple, against the Ducks helping up her season batting average to .343.
In the Wolverines' 4-1 over San Jose State, Brinkerhoff had a home run and a double — the first of her two, multi-hit games during the invitational.
With a hit in all five contests over the weekend, Brinkerhoff is now riding a six-game hitting streak.
Claiming the PCSC's Pitcher of the Week honor was Lujane Mussadi of St. Mary's. The freshman tossed a complete-game shutout to help the Gaels to a 2-0 win over Sacramento State.
Other notable performances from around the league include: Sara Lira, a sophomore infielder from St. Mary's who hit two homers over the weekend; Katie Manuma, BYU's junior first baseman who posted six RBIs; and Danielle Mavridis, who batted .375 with a home run and five RBIs for San Diego.
The UVU softball team is off until March 5 when it hosts Utah in the home opener at Wolverine Field.

Iran Caught Photoshopping Claimed Drone Invention
The Iranian military recently announced that its "scientists" had created a drone program that successfully built the first Iranian drone capable of vertical takeoff and landings. The Mullahs also released a photo to prove to the world that they had done so. But the photo of the "Iranian drone" came as a surprise to the folks at the Japanese university where the photo and the drone really came from.
For whatever reason newswire service Reuters reported the Iranian's claims on November 4. "Iran has built an advanced drone that can take off vertically and without a runway," the wire service reported.
The Mullahs called their drone the Koker-1.
To accompany reports of their wondrous new drone program, the Iranians included a photo of their drone showing the craft floating just above the latticework at the top of some nondescript building.
It turns out, though, that this photo was stolen from a Japanese university. Aircraft enthusiast and blogger Gary Mortimer noticed that the photo the Iranians sent out as proof of the Koker-1 bore a suspicions similarity to a photo of a tilt-rotor UAV built by Japan's Chiba University in 2008.
The only difference between the photo the Iranians tried to palm off on the world as the Koker-1 and the photo of the UAV from Chiba University is that the Iranians photoshopped out the wind blade devices that sat on top of the building in the Chiba U. shot.
So, it's more like the Kroaker-1.
The Atlantic listed a few of the other outrageous claims recently made by the Iranians.
This isn't the first time Iran has been caught manipulating reality: Just last month their state news agency was caught passing off a scene from the disaster-thriller The Day After Tomorrow as a real scene of Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, and in 2008 the Iranian government released some doctored photos of a successful rocket launch. According to the Mehr news agency, the drone — whatever it does, or whether it even looks like the thing above — is scheduled to be unveiled for real in the coming weeks when, presumably, Iran upgrades to CS6.
The sad thing isn't that the nuts in Iran continue to make such laughable claims all the time, but that the western media reports their claims straight as if they are all true. It takes bloggers to reveal the truth the to world because the Old Media establishment won't do it.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: Zombie Flesh Eaters [1980] [DVD] (DVD)
"Zombie flesheaters" was one of several films by Italian director Lucio Fulci to be banned as a "video nasty" during the 1980s.
The film stars Ian McCulloch (from the mid-70s cult TV series "Survivors") and Tisa Farrow (Mia's less talented sister) and begins as an apparently deserted boat is spotted drifting through Hudson Bay. A harbour patrol boat draws up alongside and two cops climb aboard to investigate. One makes the mistake of going down into the cabin to look around, and very soon the score is already Zombies 1 Humans 0.... The boat belongs to a famous scientist who set sail for the Antilles three months earlier but has since disappeared. His daughter Ann (Farrow) and journalist Peter West (McCulloch) decide to go and look for him, after reading a letter he sent from the island of Matul, in which he talks about contracting a mysterious disease. They fly to the Caribbean, hire a boat and are soon on their way to Matul, where they meet Dr David Menard who has been carrying out experiments on the disease, not believing local superstitions that it's caused by voodoo. Although the visitors are sceptical when he claims that it turns its victims into the "undead", before long we see compelling evidence that he might be correct.... Most classic gore movies have a particular moment that everybody remembers and in this case it's the notorious "eye-gouging" scene, but there's plenty more excellent gore on offer, as well as an amusing interlude involving a shark (possibly included because the movie was being made while the whole world was still in the grip of "Jaws" fever) and a very corny ending. The acting and dialogue aren't great by normal standards but well above average for a film of this type, and although the pace of the film is initially a little too slow, once our main protagonists arrive on the island it picks up very quickly. And considering the low budget Fulci had at his disposal the special effects are pretty good too. A lot of people find the soundtrack music annoying and it's certainly a little too loud at times. Featuring extensive use of the noise-generating capabilities of some primitive analog synth, the film's more dramatic moments tend to be accompanied by a crescendo of electronic belching noises, and there's also a rather tedious refrain which you have to endure over and over again. On the plus side, there's plenty of "voodoo" drumming which, when used in combination with the aforementioned synth sometimes manages to sound like primordial techno.... "Zombie flesheaters" is as good as it gets from Fulci, and IMHO is the only serious rival to George Romero's "Dawn of the dead" for the title of best zombie flick of all time. If you enjoy this film I'd also recommend Fulci's "The beyond" and "House by the cemetery". CENSORSHIP WARNING: most versions available in the UK still contain cuts. Uncut version: ZOMBIE FLESHEATERS..Strong Uncut Version..Lucio Fulci.. |

We're a French and Australian couple. Remi works in I.T and Marlina works in Fashion.
We have both travelled regularly and extensively so know the ins and outs of planes, trains, and automobiles. We know the importance of feeling like you have a home away from home when you travel and are only a phone call away when needed. Marlina has lived in Melbourne for over 20 years and Remi for the last 8. We'll be happy to share our knowledge of drinking, dining, shopping, and suggestions for things to do around Melbourne, St Kilda, Collingwood/Fitzroy as well as day trips.
Marlina & Remi has completed online and offline ID verification.
What an incredible apartment! We had a fantastic stay and the only regret was that it was so short. The space was bright and airy, the beds and lounge were very comfortable, and the outdoor balcony felt like a private retreat. And it couldn't be better located for St Kilda exploration. Marlina and Remi were such great hosts they even came to me to drop off the keys!
Marlina sent us an email with everything we needed to know about the apartment and the area...very helpful. Well appointed though a DVD player is surely a necessity? Not as noisy as you'd expect at the corner of Acland and Barkly but this is a filthy part of Melbourne...graffiti, broken bottles, rubbish wherever you look is disappointing in such a tourist destination. We expected the apartment to be cleaner seeing as we are paying a $75 premium. Maybe we're just clean freaks? Beds were very comfy, kitchen has absolutely everything you'd need and surprisingly always found a parking spot nearby on the street, though only 1 hour at a time. We had a great stay. Recommended.
Marlina is a polite, kind person. Her house is great, we love it so much. Great location with good price. If you're gonna stay in st kilda, it's the place u should choose.
What a fantastic little apartment! Very clean and walking distance to fantastic cafes and bars. Marlina was always prompt in getting back to me , lovely to deal with. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou
The apartment was very cosy and welcoming! Marlina is a fantastic host and I had no issues throughout our stay whatsoever. Our weekend was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay in such a homey place.
Great place, excellent location- highly recommendable. Picking up the key was easy and overall the apartment was very clean and has got everything anyone could need
Great place & great location. Love staying here, Marlina & Remi are great hosts- thanks again! :)
Marlina and Remi provide a lovely wee flat very central to everything that side of the city - close to public transport as well as Fitzroy and Melbourne City. Great inner city feel. Very helpful hosts, beautiful apartment, everything you need. We had a great, relaxing stay. Thanks guys.
Marlina and Remi provided a very homely environment in a quieter part of the neighbourhood. Excellent facilities in all rooms and very detailed explanation on not only the house, but also the locality. The place is immaculate and suited my needs perfectly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in this area.
We had a great stay at this apartment Marlina was a pleasure to deal with and made our first experience with Airbnb a delight! The apartment is in a brilliant location close to so many great restaurants, bars and the beach. The apartment is very clean and we had everything we needed and enjoyed the large balcony in the hot weather. We easily found free parking close by and it's a short walk to everything you need. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and would happily stay here again.
Marlene and Remi were guests in my house in Ubud Bali for 3 nights. Unfortunately I was not there to meet them, however my Balinese Assistant conveyed to me that they were 'Very nice and Really friendly' Communication about the booking was fast and easy. Cant recommend this lovely couple enough......:)
I have known Marlene my whole life. We grew up together in Australia. Our days were full of fun and excitement as we always had something to do and if there was nothing Marlene always had some great ideas. She is a fun, loving and outgoing person that you could have endless conversations with weather you are her friend, colleague, family member or a person that she has just met. Marlene and Remi will always make sure that you are okay and that you have everything that you need to have a blast while you are with them. They are a brilliant couple to spend time with, they will always have you laughing the night away with all of there stories of past time experiences and trips that they have been on. Let's just say there is never a dull moment while you are in their presence. I would have the pleasure in recommending them to anyone who wants to just have fun while on vacation they can definitely help you out with all the fun events that are happening in Melbourne.
I have known Marlene for over 10 years from when I first met her in Tokyo, she's always funny and has me in stitches of laughter. She is always up to do something weather its catch a flick, going to an art exhibition or just grabbing a pizza. She lives close to all amenities and public transportation and every time I have stayed with her she has been the such a good host making me feel welcome. I highly recommend her place and her, So if you are looking for a clean quiet place that is close to public transportation with two hosts that has extensive knowledge about food and places to go in and around Melbourne I recommend both Marlene and Remi
I have stayed with Marlene during my stay in Australia 2 years ago. I had the most amazing time, Marlene is a great cook, she makes the most amazing bread and peanut butter! Marlene and Remi were very friendly and helpful. They know all the best spots in town! I will be more than glad to host them when they come to visit me in Montreal.
I've known Marlene for years and we used to live together. We had endless cackles over many pantry dinners. We also traveled together and she is a great companion - always easy going and funny to be around with. I know Remi through Marlene and he is super friendly and always has lots of stories. They are fun, reliable and smart. I love going to their apartment! It has an awesome patio! I totally recommend M & R and their cute apartment if you want to visit Melbourne.
I've known Marlene for over ten years and she is one of my closest friends. She is kind, funny, loyal, reliable and always knows where the fun places are. Her apartment is clean and modern. This is the place to be! It's close to the beach, shopping, dining, night life and public transport...plus, Marlene and Remi are great hosts!

P&G to tap overseas markets to triple innovation rate
- James Ritchie
- Staff Reporter- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Procter & Gamble Co. is hoping for a Tide Pods repeat – several times over.
The downtown Cincinnati-based company's goal is to launch as many as three times the number of "change innovations" over the next five years as it did in the last five, said Jon Moeller, P&G's chief financial officer. Such developments are twists on existing brands.
"Many of these are major breakthroughs that have the potential to redefine their respective categories," he said.
Tide Pods, a single-dose laundry product, has been a success story for P&G (NYSE: PG). The pods are on track to hit $500 million in U.S. sales in fiscal 2013.
In April, P&G plans to introduce the product in Europe, where it will be sold under the Ariel brand. And Moeller said the consumer-goods giant, whose other brands include Gillette razors and Pampers diapers, is moving quickly to get other innovations onto international markets.
P&G brought its 3D White teeth-whitening products to 10 new markets, including Brazil and Mexico, nine months ago. In the quarter that ended Dec. 31, the company's Brazil oral-care shipments were up by more than 50 percent, Moeller said.
ZzzQuil, an over-the-counter sleep aid, started selling in Canada in January. Later this quarter, P&G's Pantene Expert Collection hair-product line will launch in Latin America, and its Illumina color by Wella Professional hair-coloring products will hit Latin America, Australia and New Zealand.
