Posted by James Staten on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on December 13, 2011
You've heard from us for a while that your cloud, whether public or private, should not be an island. Should this be true of your public cloud provider too?
A growing number of service providers are jumping into the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market not by building their own solution but by jumpstarting the effort with a cloud platform software provider like VMware, OnApp or CA. The benefits of this approach:
Posted by James Staten on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on October 25, 2011
You know there are developers in your company using public cloud platforms, but do you really know what they are doing? You suspect it's just test and development work, but are you sure? And if it is production workloads are they taking the steps necessary to protect the company? We have the answers to these questions and you may be surprised by how far they are going.
It's tough being an infrastructure & operations professional these days. According to our ForrSight surveys, for every cloud project you know about there could be 3 to 6 others you don't know about. Business unit leaders, marketing and sales professionals and Empowered developers are leading the charge. They aren't circumventing I&O as a sign of rebellion – they simply are trying to move quickly to drive revenue and increase productivity. While every I&O professional should be concerned about this pattern of shadow IT and its implications on the role of I&O in the future, the more immediate concern is about whether these shadow efforts are putting the company at risk.
The bottom line: Cloud use isn't just test and development. In fact, according to our ForrSight research there's more production use of IaaS cloud platforms than test and development and broader use is coming (see Figure 1 below). The prominent uses are for training, product demonstration and other marketing purposes. Our research also shows that test and development projects in the cloud are just as likely to go to production in the cloud as they are to come back to your data center.

On September 15th between 11am-12pm EDT Forrester held an interactive TweetJam on the future of cloud computing including Forrester analysts Jennifer Belissent, Mike Cansfield, Pascal Matzke, Stefan Ried, Peter O'Neill , myself and many other experts and interested participants. Using the hashtag #cloudjam (use this tag to search for the results in Twitter), we asked a variety of questions.
We had a great turnout, with more than 400 tweets (at last count) from over 40 unique Tweeter's. A high level overview of the key words and topics that were mentioned during the TweetJam is visualized in the attached graphic using the ManyEyes data visualization tool.
Below you will find a short summary of some key takeaways and quotes from the TweetJam:
1. What really is cloud computing? Let's get rid of 'cloud washing!'
Posted by Holger Kisker on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on September 6, 2010
Have questions about cloud computing and the top challenges and opportunities it presents to vendors and users? Then join us for an interactive Tweet Jam on Twitter about the future of cloud computing on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT (17:00 – 18:00 CEST) using the Twitter hashtag #cloudjam. Joining me (@hkisker) will be my analyst colleagues Mike Cansfield (@mikecansfield), Pascal Matzke (@pascalmatzke), Thomas Mendel (@drthomasmendel), and Stefan Ried (@stefanried). We'll share the results of our recent research on the long term future of cloud computing and discuss how it will change the way tech vendors engage with customers.
Looking through the current industry hype around the cloud, Forrester believes cloud computing is a sustainable, long-term IT paradigm. Underpinned by both technology and economic disruptions, we think the cloud will fundamentally change the way technology providers engage with business customers and individual users. However, many customers are suffering from "cloud confusion" as vendors' marketing stretches cloud across a wide variety of capabilities.
To help, we recently developed a new taxonomy of the cloud computing markets (see graphic) to give vendors and customers clear definitions and labels for cloud capabilities. With this segmentation in hand, cloud vendors and users can better discuss the challenges and benefits of cloud computing today and in the future.

I learned so much about grommets sown in versus doing it yourself, when these went up, the wwere stunning in the room, and make the space seem more elegant. My friends think we can afford silk curtains (ha)
The curtains look really good. I bought the silver and black ones.
the material was really thin and was more like a fancy shower curtain
Not heavy and look very nice on my slider door. Grommet make it easy to open and close of course so perfect for over the door.
Love these curtains. Purchased in blue and brown, matched perfectly.
Overall these look nice once ironed and hung. As I was ironing, I noticed a few places where the sewing of the stripes did not catch the material so it left holes along the stripes so I had to sew them, which you do not plan on having to do when you purchase something. A lot of the stitching was not straight either, but I'm not noticing that when they are hung. They are not a heavy material, but are fine for our dining room.
Very thin & cheap fabric. Align very well. I bought the grey & black one, the grey color closes to brown side but not blue side, like the picture.
Very nice looking curtains. You will have to press them to get the wrinkles out. They are thin so not sun blocking by any means but I had a shade on the window already so they worked out great.

5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- U.S. stocks are off to a bullish start today, after tech king Apple (AAPL) reported stronger-than expected results on Tuesday after the market close. Shares of Apple are responding positively, with the stock up over 50 points to $615, or around 9% in early trading.
Market players are now awaiting a Federal Reserve policy announcement and chairman Ben Bernanke's new conference, which will occur later today. Traders are eager to hear if Bernanke will make any hints at the possibility of more quantitative easing or if he will hint that the Fed could be done with its easy money policy.
Some traders believe that Bernanke will have a hard time convincing market participants that we need QE3 since Apple's numbers were so strong. That said, it's possible that Apple is simply taking market share from its competitors and the overall economy is nowhere near as strong. Only time will tell as we move deeper into earnings season and see how a broad base of companies perform from an earnings standpoint.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Poised to Spike Higher
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is trading up 84 points and the S&P 500 is moving higher by around 14 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was benefiting the most from Apple's monster quarter, with that index up a whopping 63 points. This renewed strength in equities today could be signaling that the market wants to move significantly higher, especially if Mr. Market likes what Bernanke has to say. If that is indeed the case, then we're going to see a number of stocks and specific sectors trigger big-time breakouts and move notably higher. Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been mastered by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. These pros know that once a stock starts to break out above past resistance levels, and hold above those breakout prices, then it can easily trend significantly higher. With that in mind, here's a look at five stocks that are setting up to break out and trade higher from current levels.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation |
OpenVMS Guide to System Security
4.4.4 Limiting Access to a DeviceAlthough a security administrator may want to provide access to a common file, such as the payroll file described in Section 4.4.2, the administrator would want to ensure that only a limited number of people could use the letter-quality printer designated for printing checks. Otherwise, any holder of the payroll identifier could access the check forms that are always loaded in the printer TTA8. Because the check printer in the current example is never used for logins and no queues are directed to it, the security administrator can add an ACL to the printer to ensure that only one user, McGrey, is allowed read and write access. At the same time, the administrator must block printer access for all other identifier holders. The following command sequence creates such an ACL:
While McGrey acquires read and write access, all other users are denied
access with the NONE keyword, explained in Section 4.4.3. Still, the
ACL on the printer TTA8 might not work exactly as intended until the
security administrator modifies the printer's protection code. See
Section 4.5.5 for details.
With an Identifier ACE, it is possible to provide conditional access by combining certain kinds of identifiers. A common situation is to use a UIC identifier with one of the environmental identifiers like batch or interactive. (For a complete list of environmental identifiers, see Section 22.214.171.124.) Thus, a user can access a protected object only when running in batch mode or interactively but never over a dialup line. For example, the next command grants user Fred both submit and manage access to a print queue, but only while he is running a batch job:
4.4.6 Ordering ACEs Within a ListAn ACL can contain one entry or many entries. With multiple ACEs, the order of the entries is critical because the system determines access based on the first matching ACE. The operating system searches an ACL sequentially and grants a user the access specified in the first matching ACE, thus ignoring all subsequent entries. See Section 4.3 for a description of the evaluation process. When writing ACLs, keep the following principles in mind:
The following ACL on the directory file PROJECT-ACCOUNTS.DIR demonstrates how to order entries in an ACL. It places ACEs giving access to critical users (Jones and Fred) at the top of the list and places general ACEs after them. The ACE denying access goes at the end.
The ACL on the project accounts directory allows read, write, and execute access to Jones all the time and to Fred while he is running a batch job. It gives read access to users holding the PAYROLL identifier. All users who are logging in from a modem are denied access unless they gain access through an earlier ACE. For example, Jones, Fred, or holders of the PAYROLL identifier might be dialing in, but, because their ACE precedes the DIALUP ACE, they would be granted access. The next example shows an ACL for the data file STAFFING.DAT. It demonstrates how you place the entry providing the greatest amount of file access at the top of an ACL.
In this ACL, any users holding the SECURITY identifier obtain maximum
access rights through the first ACE, and users holding the PERSONNEL
identifier have the next greatest access. User Jones is prohibited from
any access to the file unless Jones also happens to hold one of the
general identifiers. (This might be an oversight on the part of the
creator of the ACL.) If you want to be absolutely certain that user
Jones cannot gain access to the file, move the entry at the bottom of
the ACL to the top.
You can create a plan for controlling access to files within a directory or a directory structure, develop an appropriate ACL for the files, and then direct the operating system to automatically assign this ACL to new files. To do this, create an Identifier ACE with the Default attribute, and then add the ACE to the directory file cataloging the files you want to affect. Use the OPTIONS keyword to include the Default attribute. For example, if you want all new files in the directory [MALCOLM] to have an ACL entry that permits read and write access to users with the PERSONNEL identifier, you can add the following ACE to the file MALCOLM.DIR:
As a result of this ACE, any file created in the [MALCOLM] directory has the following ACL:
Notice that the Default attribute does not appear within a new file's ACL but only in the ACL of directory files. However, any subdirectory created in the MALCOLM directory automatically has the entry (IDENTIFIER=PERSONNEL,OPTIONS=DEFAULT,ACCESS=READ+WRITE) as part of its ACL. In this way, the ACE is propagated throughout the entire directory tree. The ACE is not applied retroactively to existing versions of files in MALCOLM.DIR. To attach an ACE to existing files, you can use the /DEFAULT qualifier, described in Section 4.5.7, or use the following command:
Any ACE with a Default attribute controls only the propagation of the ACE; it has no effect on access control. To control access to the directory as well as all its files, you have to insert two ACEs in the directory's ACL, as follows:
4.4.8 Displaying ACLsThe DCL command SHOW SECURITY displays an object's ACL. When working with objects other than files, you must supply a class name as well as the object name. For example, the following display shows the security attributes of a device called PPA0. It is owned by the operating system, and its protection code gives full access (read, write, physical, and logical) to users in the system and owner categories but no access to group and world users; its ACL gives control access to user Svensen.
There are many other ways of displaying ACLs. The access control list editor (ACL editor) is a useful tool for extensive work with ACLs; see the ACL editor documentation in the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. But any of the following DCL commands display ACLs:
Applications sometimes add a Hidden attribute to an ACE to indicate that the ACE should be changed only by the application that adds the ACE. Unless users have the SECURITY privilege, they cannot display a hidden ACE by using DCL commands. The ACL editor does display ACEs holding the Hidden attribute but only to show its relative position within the ACL; however, unauthorized users cannot edit the ACE.
Sometimes you see other kinds of ACEs, unrelated to access control, in
an ACL. For example, if the security administrator places a
security-auditing ACE on the LN03$PRINT queue, you will see an ACE at
the top of the list that has the format
(AUDIT=SECURITY,ACCESS=access-types). Such an ACE is part of
the security-auditing system and has no effect on access, so you can
ignore it.
Section 4.4.2 through Section 4.4.5 discuss how to add entries to an empty ACL with the DCL command SET SECURITY. To modify ACLs extensively, use the ACL editor; however, in many cases the SET SECURITY command is more appropriate. This section and those that follow describe how to use SET SECURITY to change an ACL. To add more entries to an ACL, you can use the /ACL qualifier with the SET SECURITY command and specify the new ACEs. For example, to give the writers access to the print queue LN03$PRINT, use the following command:
By default, the system places the new ACE at the top of the ACL, as you see in the following SHOW SECURITY display:
Because the default behavior for SET SECURITY is to place a new ACE at the top of an ACL, you need to use the /AFTER qualifier if you want to put the ACE in another position. For example, to position the TRADERS ACE in the queue's ACL after the WRITERS ACE:
The resulting display confirms the effectiveness of the /AFTER qualifier. The new ACE is put second in the list.
4.4.10 Deleting an ACLThe /DELETE qualifier on the SET SECURITY command erases an ACL. Depending on how the qualifier is used, you can delete all or part of an ACL. For example, the following command deletes a disk's ACL:
An ACE can be protected against inadvertent deletion if it holds the
Protected attribute. To eliminate a protected ACE, you
need to delete it explicitly or use the /DELETE=ALL qualifier on the
SET SECURITY/ACL command.
You can eliminate a subset of an ACL by listing the unwanted ACEs with the /ACL qualifier and including the /DELETE qualifier. For example, the following command deletes the ACEs giving holders of the TRADERS identifier and the NETWORK identifier write access to volume DBA0:
4.4.12 Replacing Part of an ACLTo replace one contiguous set of ACEs within an ACL with another set, specify the new ACEs with the /REPLACE qualifier and the ACEs to be deleted with the /ACL qualifier, as follows:
The TRADERS ACE specified by /ACL is deleted. Following the deletion, the ACEs specified by the /REPLACE qualifier (RESEARCH, STATE_DEPARTMENT, ENERGY_DEPARTMENT) are inserted at the location of the old ACE.
You can copy the security profile of one object to another by using the /LIKE qualifier to the SET SECURITY command. For example, you can save a complicated ACL on a nonpermanent object like a logical name table by copying it to a permanent object such as a file. Some administrators create a file to serve as a template in copy operations. This way, they can easily transfer an ACL from one object to another. For example, the following command copies the ACL from file ACL_TEMPLATE.TXT to the logical name table LNM$GROUP:
If you add the /COPY_ATTRIBUTE qualifier to the /LIKE qualifier, then you can copy one or two elements rather than the complete profile. Notice the ACL on the following directory, KITE_FLYING:
The following command copies the ACL from directory KITE_FLYING to the directory KITE_DESIGNS:
The SET SECURITY/LIKE command does not always duplicate the entire ACL of the source object. For example, the command does not copy any ACEs from the source ACL that have the Nopropagate attribute. The command also does not overwrite protected ACEs. It preserves protected ACEs on the target object and adds them to the ACL being copied. (For example, applications often use a special type of protected ACE to explain how to display file data correctly, and these ACEs have to be preserved.)
Refer to the ACL editor documentation in the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual for details
on the different attributes an ACE can have, and refer to the
OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual for a description of all ACE types.
A protection code controls the type of access allowed (or denied) to a
particular user or group of users. Access types
identify the capabilities required to perform an operation on a
protected object. The operating system can have multiple access
requirements to complete an operation (see Section 4.7.2). A user can
gain access to an object as soon as the operating system finds a
category within the protection code for which the user qualifies that
allows the access requested (provided an ACL does not deny access).
A protection code has the following format:
User categories include system (S), owner (O), group (G), and world (W). Each category can be abbreviated to its first character. Categories have the following definitions:
When specifying more than one user category, separate the categories with commas, and enclose the entire code in parentheses. You can specify user categories and access types in any order (although the system always displays them in the order system, owner, group, world). To deny all access to a user category, specify the user category without any access types. Omit the colon after the user category when you are denying access to a category of users. Omitting a category entirely means access to the category is unspecified. The current access allowed that category of user remains unchanged. If the protection code applies to an object being created (for example, with a COPY/PROTECTION command), the omitted category is assigned the default value. Access types are object-dependent and are described in Chapter 5. For files, the access types include read (R), write (W), execute (E), and delete (D). The access type is assigned to each user category and is separated from its user category by a colon (:), for example, SET SECURITY/PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W).

ENERGY STAR® Selects Wisconsin for Partner of the Year
Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes, part of Wisconsin's Focus on Energy program, received a 2003 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency at an ceremony on April 15th in Washington DC. The award recognizes Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes for its outstanding contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by promoting energy efficiency in new homes. Wisconsin joined the ENERGY STAR partnership in 2001. Since then, Wisconsin has certified more than 1,800 homes that exceed the ENERGY STAR guidelines. On average, these homes are 25% more efficient than similar homes built to Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code. This is good for the environment because each certified home keeps 4,500 pounds of greenhouses gases from entering into the atmosphere every year. The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) has used both grant and project funding from DOE's State Energy Program to support its residential energy programs, including Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes. Currently, DOA provides this funding to Wisconsin Focus on Energy to manage these programs. Focus on Energy is a non-profit public-private partnership offering energy information and services to energy utility customers throughout Wisconsin. For information about Focus on Energy services and programs, call 800.762.7077. For more details about the award, see Focus on Energy's April 25th press release. |

When building your robot's chassis or a gear box it is important to make a rigid frame. The image on the right shows a poorly built frame. Because there is not enough rigid cross support, the frame is skewed. This is especially bad for axles because the axles will rub against the side of the holes in the beam. |
This shows how to fix this problem. By using cross plates that are twice as wide, the box is made nice and square, and axles should spin freely. |

Family of Cyclist Killed in Baltimore Truck Accident Settles for $5 Million
A case stemming from a 2009 Baltimore accident between a tanker truck and a bicyclist has settled for $5 million, according to The Baltimore Sun. In August of 2009, a 67-year-old bicyclist was riding behind a tanker truck when the truck made a right turn. The bicyclist got caught in the truck's rear wheels and was killed. The family of the bicyclist sued the truck driver and his employer for $5 million for a wrongful death.
However, investigators found that the bicyclist was at-fault in the crash. An attorney for the family called the investigation ""one of the sloppiest investigations in a fatality that I personally have seen in years."
The truck driver did not stop at the scene of the accident, and no charges were filed against him. Investigators believe that the driver was not aware that the accident had even taken place. The truck driver was located when police discovered the truck at his employer's service yard and it matched a video of the truck from a nearby surveillance camera. DNA was lifted from the vehicle that matched the bicyclist's.

Slipper's trips a perplexing mess
PUBLISHED: 06 Jul 2012 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 06 Jul 2012 10:00:06PUBLISHED: 06 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 06 Jul 2012Pamela Williams
The proliferation of taxpayer-funded taxis and private limousines used by MP Peter Slipper has cast a long shadow over the Speaker since allegations surfaced from a former aide that Slipper improperly used Cabcharge dockets. The patterns of use in Slipper's taxi entitlements have brought a blizzard of publicity for a man with a long record of bulging travel claims.
Amid those records are at least 16 occasions when Slipper took expensive taxi rides to or from an airport – but where there is no Finance Department record of him taking a flight on the day. The records of Slipper's taxi and limousine use – paid by the Commonwealth for business use, and his separate flight records paid by the Commonwealth for business use –have been posted online by the department.
Slipper has already stood aside as Speaker pending the outcome of a court case in relation to allegations of sexual harassment via intimate text-messaging with a staffer, James Ashby, and that case has now enveloped others, including members of the Liberal National Party in Queensland who are alleged to have engaged in a plot of vengeance against Slipper – a party rat who defected last year. Ashby has deleted allegations of Cabcharge misuse from his claim – on the basis that as this is now under police investigation it could delay his civil case.
Presently enjoying a winter sojourn on parliamentary business in the Middle East, Slipper told The Australian Financial Review by email this week that as he was away overseas, he had no access to his records to confirm why hire cars firms and taxis had submitted claims for driving him on official business to and from airports on days when the department had no records of him flying. He said his use of travel has all been "within entitlement". Moreover, he said, it was possible some information such as dates had been wrongly recorded in travel logs released by the department. "But travel itself is within guidelines," he said.
Department records show, for example, Slipper took a taxi (under parliamentary entitlement) on October 4, 2009 – from airport to city – for $145. The next day, October 5, 2009, Slipper took a taxi – city to airport –for $125. Departmental records show no flights taken on either of these days by either Slipper or his family.
A year later, on October 4, 2010, Slipper travelled using his favourite limo service, Oakcorp Limousines, from his home in Buderim to Brisbane airport at a cost of $263.64. On the same day, October 4, 2010, Slipper also travelled a second time from his home in Buderim to Brisbane airport for $263.64. Despite travelling from home to the airport twice on the same day using a limousine only permitted under entitlements for parliamentary, electorate or official business, Slipper did not take any correlating business flight on the day, which would be shown in department records. The charges were paid to the limousine company by invoice or reimbursement – rather than charged through Slipper's electronic Cabcharge card which he generally used to pay Oakcorp Limousines for tens of thousands of dollars in trips in recent years.
Oakcorp Limousines prides itself on its vehicles. And while it would seem unlikely Slipper has been taking the Hummer (or the 13-passenger Super Stretch with starlight ceiling, laser lighting, fog machine and bar), even the humble four-passenger white Holden Statesman with "Real Black Leather Interior" features white lace-edged antimacassars to prevent the head coming into direct contact with the rear seat and white covers and white flowers on the rear dashboard – as depicted on the Oakcorp website.
On March 2, 2010, Slipper spent more than $600 in a limousine from his home to the airport and back. He took an Oakcorp Limousine from Buderim to Brisbane airport for $327.95. Also on March 2, 2010, he took an Oakcorp Limousine from Brisbane airport to Buderim for $322.91.
Departmental records on car travel show the limousines were paid for on a Cabcharge card. Departmental records for flights taken under MP's entitlement (for parliamentary, electorate or official business), show no flights taken by Slipper on the day.
Peter Slipper has not indicated whether he in fact was picking up or dropping off someone else on journeys to the airport where he did not take a flight.
On May 18, 2010, Oakcorp Limo again booked charges for driving Slipper from Buderim to Brisbane airport ($322.91) and back again from Brisbane airport to Buderim ($312.82). Department records of Slipper's travel entitlements show no flights taken by Slipper on the day.
On February 5, 2011, Lazmar Limousine (another limousine service favoured by the Speaker) billed the Commonwealth for a journey in Slipper's name from Brisbane city to Brisbane airport (a short trip), for the startling charge of $297.68.
Lazmar, according to the company website, offers drivers "dressed like chauffeurs", "door to door service" and the advantage of being able to use an airline inflight beverage service "without the worry of having to drive home".
On June 1, 2011, department records show a taxi claim paid by Slipper to an unidentified taxi company for a trip from an airport to Townsville for $83.86. There were no other taxi dockets from Townsville, for example, back to the airport, and no taxi dockets showing Slipper travelling around Townsville. There was just a single $83 trip.
Slipper was actually in Canberra on the day, a fact previously revealed in the media. But a spokesperson from the Department of Finance told the AFR last week the department had now identified this transaction as having the date wrongly interpreted. Slipper did take a flight from Brisbane to Townsville and back – but four months earlier, on February 12, 2011, a date that, at first blush, seems hard to confuse with June 1, 2011.
But there are no other departmental records of any taxis or hire cars claimed in Townsville in either 2011 or in 2010 including anything showing Slipper going from Townsville back to the airport.
It is a sign of the challenge for departmental officials in unravelling the avalanche of MPs' travel data – particularly in cases like Slipper's where he switches constantly between paying with his electronic Cabcharge card, manually-filled-out dockets or other reimbursement claims submitted by the hire car firm, (sometimes switching between all three payment methods with the same car firm).
Some of the mystery of why Slipper was taking limousines back and forth from airports may be addressed when he returns from overseas. Given that each of the limousine and taxi fares to and from airports investigated by the AFR were claimed by Slipper under his entitlements for parliamentary, electorate or official business, this might suggest that if no flight was taken, Slipper was instead conducting business, electorate or parliamentary work at airports. Slipper's electorate is more than 1½ hours north of Brisbane airport by car.
Other questions over his car travel have also deepened.
According to the department records, Slipper has frequently used a car company called Babylon Investment Group. Aside from the numerous use of Babylon in Melbourne for general trips city-to-city and city-to-suburbs, Slipper also took three trips to or from airports using Babylon – on days when there are no department records showing he took a flight.
The Department of Finance has itself now raised questions over the charges on Slipper's electronic Cabcharge made out to Babylon, with annotations on Freedom of Information logs of Slipper's travel records stating: "Supplier entries for Babylon Investment Group were extrapolated from original documents containing ABN information which now appears to be inaccurate in most instances."
The AFR queried the department as to whether the Australian Federal Police had been alerted to the inaccurate ABN numbers on Babylon Cabcharge documents signed by Slipper.
"The Department cannot comment on whether particular information has or has not been provided to the Australian Federal Police. The AFP would be aware of the information released publicly on the Department's FOI Disclosure log, including the above annotation," a spokesperson said.
The AFP has already launched a formal investigation into Slipper after speaking to a number of potential witnesses to evaluate the likelihood of a criminal offence.
Asked this week whether Federal Police were investigating the Babylon Investment Group Cabcharge claims, an AFP spokeswoman said that while the investigation into fraud claims about Slipper was ongoing it was not appropriate for the AFP to comment.
Asked whether Slipper himself was under investigation regarding the Babylon claims, the AFP repeated that it was inappropriate to comment as the question related to an on-going investigation.
Asked whether the AFP investigation was only into allegations brought by the aide James Ashby, or was in a wider context, the spokeswoman said the AFP was aware of the allegations made by Ashby and the investigation into fraud by Slipper was on-going.
The focus on Slipper's Cabcharge and taxi use – which has been the focus of media reports over several years, especially in circumstances where he sometimes has been obliged to repay some amounts – has been super-charged by the allegations brought forth by Ashby.
The new focus has also drawn attention to Slipper's use of entitlements through different prisms. The AFR revealed in April that inexplicably large numbers of taxi and limousine charges for cars used in different states and to widely differing destinations were often for identical charges – down to the last cent.
For example, 22 trips taken by Slipper between January 2010 and March 2011, all tallied $95.86. Sixteen trips taken between January 8, 2010 and March 10, 2011 in a range of cities, all came to $75.68. Seven trips between January 19 and July 27, 2010 all came to $126.14.
Asked about these perplexing numbers, a department spokesperson said the department had a rolling audit program to review entitlement claims and reinforced that each senator and member is asked to certify that their use of entitlement is for the purposes prescribed in legislation.
For Slipper, the ride has now become more bumpy than he might ever have imagined.

Winter will be on again this weekend at Whistler-Blackcomb — and with more than 60 centimetres forecast between Thursday and Sunday, (and quite likely close to a metre in more sheltered areas), it will likely be the best conditions of the season so far.
Here are a dozen do's and don't to get the most out of your big day.
• 1 DO wax your skis the night before. Fresh snow can get heavy to plough through. A waxed ski will run faster and make turning easier.
• 2 DO get onto the hill as early as possible. They don't call scouting for first tracks "dawn patrol" for nothing. Seriously consider paying for the First Tracks breakfast at Whistler's Roundhouse.
• 3 DO rent super-fat rockered cambered skis, if you don't have them. Skis with a slightly upturned tip (like K2's "Pettitor," which is named after famed Whistler madman Sean Pettit) will not dive into the snow.
• 4 DON'T forget to pack a decent pair of goggles. Scratched, cracked lenses will fog up in no time and some 'tints' are much better than others.
• 5 DO remember that safety is the most important consideration. If you haven't done any (or much) off piste skiing before, consider signing up for a lesson, especially if a) you really don't know much about skiing in deep snow and b) you enjoy watching the look on your friends' faces as your ski school group gets "lift line priority" over the thousands of folks waiting in line.
• 6 DO watch the light-board to see which lifts are open, and which ones are on standby. Be prepared to wait for alpine lifts like the Peak and Glacier Express to open, and be aware that if it's still storming that some of these lifts might not open at all during the day.
• 7 DON'T berate the lift attendants because the ski patrol hasn't opened up the alpine terrain, yet.
• 8 DON'T go anywhere near Whistler/Blackcomb's "slackcountry" area unless you are with someone who knows exactly where they are going and each person is equipped with an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel. Do NOT ski out of bounds alone, or even in-bounds in gladed areas. There will still be early-season hazards under the snow – after all, winter is only two weeks old.
• 9 DO your first turns on the most obvious runs, and then work your way into the glades or steeper terrain once.
• 10 DO anticipate becoming separated from your friends, because "there are no friends on a powder day." And while texting and cell phones work well on both mountains, have a plan for meeting for lunch and back at the car at the end of the day.
• 11 DON'T stress out about it. There will likely be a lot of people on the mountain, since powder days like this are what the locals wait for. Alternately, many Whistlerites dislike skiing on weekends, so the line-ups might not be that bad. Be polite and courteous to everyone you meet.
• 12 DON'T expect to get long, unskied runs like the kind you see in the MSP/Red Bull movies. Those are all filmed in the backcountry "using professional models and stuntmen," as they say in the movies.

Hi there! It's finally Friday!! Wahoo! I am so glad that this week is over! Although, I'm getting nervous about tomorrow! Did you hear we are supposed to get some snow? I'm hoping it's not a lot. They are saying that it might be a lot of wet snow which is going to weigh down branches on trees. In return, could cause the power to go out. I pray that doesn't happen! It was awful when we sat in the dark for the entire day after the hurricane. I'm trying to think positive. It's too early for me for snow. We have to get through Halloween first and then we can have snow! Do you like snow? What are you doing this weekend? Anything exciting planned for Halloween?
So yesterday after work, I went over to Melissa and my mom's house to pick up Melissa and Oliver. Oliver had a checkup appointment at the vet. He was pretty bad in the car because I think he was really nervous. The last time he went in the car he got tortured at the vet with his paw. So I think he thought the same thing was going to happen. We got there early and they took us super late. That resulted in Oliver pacing around the room, climbing up my legs, jumping on Melissa and I. He was so scared but we were trying to calm him down as best as we could.
The vet said Oliver's paw looks like it's healing. There is still a bump on his paw but the doctor is thinking that it's so irritated from his obsessive licking and biting that it should go down. He is going to continue to take medicine and wear his cone head so that he doesn't lick it again. We are supposed to monitor the bump and make sure it doesn't get bigger. If it does than they are going to have to do further testing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying for him. I think that he will be okay. He is such a strong pup! He was so happy on his car ride home! He was much more relaxed and was being a good boy. I think he must have felt so excited that he didn't get tortured this time.
I went home after the vet and started on dinner. We had rotisserie chicken leftover from the other night and I roasted vegetables and some potatoes. These are the potatoes that I used:
I said that I wasn't a fan yesterday but the taste is growing on me. I actually ended up liking it. I think it's because I made them extra crispy!
So a couple of weeks ago, I did a post about some of my September favorites. I now I wanted to talk about some additional things that I am loving as we head towards the end of October.
I have been in love with the Leaves scented candle from Bath & Body Works. The description refers to it as having autumn notes of golden nectar, juicy mandarin, and red delicious apple paired with toasted cinnamon stick, mulled cider spices and freshly harvested red berries.
I would have to say that I couldn't have made a better description of the candle if I tried to myself. Bath & Body Works was exactly right! The candle does smell like cinnamon and apples, and mulled cider! It's amazing. It fills up the entire house with such a comforting scent. I love it. I recommend it if you like scents like that in your house.
These are my favorite Hershey Kisses this time of year. They really do taste like pumpkin pie in the middle. I love them! They are the perfect snack! If you like pumpkin, definitely try them quick before they are gone! I found them at Target.
I am in love with OPI nail polish to begin with. However, my favorite color as of lately is most definitely Lincoln Park After Dark. I love wearing really dark colors in the fall/winter. This color is so dark that is almost looks black but it's definitely not black. I really like it.
As an afternoon snack at work, I've been liking Quaker Granola Bites in Peanut Butter. They are the perfect size snack and they are only 90 calories. They are super cute and they have the perfect peanut butter flavor. They give you that slight bite of crunch that you might be craving in the afternoon too. They are good to have on hand.
I really like Musselman's Lite Cinnamon Applesauce. They come in a pack of 6 of them and they make for a great snack. I've always been a fan of applesauce ever since I was little. I've always been drawn to the cinnamon flavor of applesauce. I just like it so much. I love the small snack packs because they don't even need to be refrigerated and it's great to eat on the go as long as you have a spoon!
My last favorite is Trader Joe's Cinnamon Schoolbook Cookies. First off, they are so cute because you can spell your name out or whatever you want to spell before you eat them. ;) They taste like cinnamon and they aren't too bad for you. I think they are a good snack choice.
So those are some things besides the ones I mentioned at the end of last month that I have been loving lately. Do you like anything that I mentioned? What is something that you have been loving this month?
I'm excited for tonight! Melissa and I are going out to dinner at Seasons 52! I cannot even remember the last time I went to one. I'm loving that they have their fall menu out now. All I know is that a glass of wine and a pumpkin pie mini dessert is calling my name! Please let this day go by quick! Have a Happy Friday!

MEDFORD, Ore. — School districts across the state will be getting more money to give students hands on training in science, engineering, and math. But Southern Oregon schools won't be seeing that additional money yet.
The Oregon Department of Education and Bureau of Labor and Industry gave out more than $8 million in grants to help fund career technical education courses in schools. Medford and Phoenix-Talent districts applied, along with the Southern Oregon Education Service District, but were not awarded the grants. More than 60 district applied for the grants and 24 were awarded.
Even without them, representative for the SOESD said the courses in local schools are thriving, and give hands-on education to help prepare students for technical careers.
"It is the opportunity for engage kids in something that is hands on and is relevant," said Steve Schiller with SOESD. "Many kids wonder, why am I learning math and science? What am I going to do with this?"
A spokesman for BOLI said they are attempting to get the grants into every district in the state, and said other districts will likely receive the grants during the next round of funding next year.

The San Luis Valley is one of the largest high desert valleys in the world, lying at an altitude of over 7,000 feet. It is approximately 125 miles long and over 65 miles wide. Surrounded by the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east and the San Juan mountains to the west, the valley is the size of Connecticut and is larger than some states and countries.The Rio Grande River begins as a small stream in the San Juan Mountains on the west side of the valley and was a major factor in the development of farming and ranching in the area.It was originally home to the Ute Indians, who were removed from the valley in 1895. Other Indian tribes such as the Jicarilla Apache, Pueblo, Kiowa and Comanche raided or hunted here in early recorded times.Many famous explorers penetrated the San Luis Valley between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, including the Spaniards Juan de Onate, Juan Maria Rivera, and Juan de Bautista Anza. They were followed later by Americans such as Zebulon Pike and John Fremont.A major trade route, The Old Spanish Trail, passed through the Valley.Hispanic pioneers from New Mexico founded settlements at San Luis and other sites in the southern end of the valley as early as the 1840s. The US Army established Fort Massachusetts, near the present location of Fort Garland, in 1852, to provide valley settlers with protection against hostile Indians.With the discovery of gold and silver in the San Juan mountains, a huge influx of miners and adventurers entered the area. By 1878 the railroad had reached Alamosa, which soon became destined to be the rail hub for the area. The narrow-guage line was later extended to Antonito , Colorado and on into New Mexico.New immigrants arrived to exploit the rich soil of the valley for agriculture and ranching. Thriving Mormon (LDS) communities were established at Manassa, Sanford, Romeo, and adjoining areas in the early 1870s. Dutch settlers developed productive farming communities at La Jara, Bowen and Waverly in the late nineteenth century. Japanese settlers were early immigrants to the area and contributed greatly to the agricultural productivity of the valley.Alamosa, founded in 1878, is located in the very center of the San Luis Valley and is home to Adams State College which was established in 1921.Nearby are the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, featuring 600 foot high sand dunes. Mount Blanca, one of North America's highest peaks at 14,364 feet, towers over the east edge of the valley overlooking the huge Zapata Ranch, where thousands of buffalo still roam. At its foot lies Fort Garland where the old rebuilt cavalry post, commanded at one time by Colonel Kit Carson , is located. In the mountains to the east and west are nationally known ski areas, hunting and fishing locations, and scenic mountain towns such as Creede and Crestone.

Schedules, deadlines, appointments, work to be done; you didn't have time to pause. You didn't even have the time to eat.
You were attacking your own mouth with the fork that had –you thought- some Greek salad on it. Then you asked: how can you stab your tongue so deep? This is surreal! It was not. I know this because it happened to me once.
You made a big hole. You, who once said that you were never making a piercing on you, not even for the sake of entertainment, made place for a dime in your tongue.
Tongues are incredible. They can regenerate as fast as any part of your body… unless the bacteria finds out about it. And, since tongues are so exposed to everything, they are a golden mine for bacteria.
What? You don't like antibiotics? Bad luck!
You knew it was going to hurt. Every time you attempted to eat, speak, laugh, drink… it hurt. You tried to speak, it hurt. You decided to shut your mouth, it hurt. More than a pain in the neck, it did, because you don't use your neck so often.
Time passes and one day you look at the mirror and you note an ugly scar in the middle of your tongue, but it's OK because it doesn't hurt anymore. You remember how uncomfortable you felt and you feel relief that you don't have to suffer that again, you feel gratitude.
You go back to your working desk and continue with what you were doing: you were evaluating how 2011 went for you. Right there, you remember my last week's post about draining your emotions before facing the task.
Nah! I don't need to do that new-age thing, you say, I am tough enough, mature enough to take some heat.
You go on, but suddenly you feel uneasy about that plan that just didn't work out fine, or that thing this person said about you when –she thought- you weren't listening.
Now you question yourself: will that uneasy feeling affect your evaluation?
Here's a trick to help you tell whether that emotion will alter your judgment or not. Does it feels like the scar on your tongue? Can you think about it and feel relief that you don't have to go through that experience again?
Or, you feel so uncomfortable that you have to immediately think of something else? If it feels so, you have to solve that before you try to evaluate your year; otherwise, you won't be able to get positive results. You will get biased by your own emotions.
Now, here's the important part: you don't have to leave your working table to solve that. You can solve it immediately applying one of the strongest and more powerful tools we humans have. You guessed it: forgiveness.
You see: you must realize that the conflict is not in reality but inside your own head. And hence, you are the only one who can fix it. You have to figure out who is the one that you have to forgive, and then forgive that person.
One useful tip: that person might be just you.
It is that simple! Which doesn't mean that it's easy, but you knew that, didn't you?

Botanic Garden raises rarities at the Heritage Farm
Posted July 25, 2014. Image by Amy Landers/ABQ BioPark
On the western slope of the Sacramento Mountains in south-central New Mexico near Alamogordo, a thistle-like plant grows along stream beds and in canyon soils. In the summer, its prickly leaves bear flowers with elegant white petals and bright yellow stamens. When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the Sacramento Mountain prickly poppy as Endangered in 1989, there were fewer than 1,300 plants left in the wild. Despite efforts to support the species, scientists say the number of wild plants has likely dropped since 1989.
Staff at the ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden are working with other local, state and federal partners to preserve this rare flower, raising the plant for seed harvest as part of its Ex Situ conservation program. You can see the Sacramento prickly poppy in bloom now at the Rio Grande Heritage Farm.

Since we went to bed early, we were up early and ready to get to Nassau in the Bahamas. We arrived into their port at about noon, but it was storming!
We waited for a while for it to pass and headed off the boat. I knew just where to begin this adventure:
It's definitely a tourist-y place swarming with a ridiculous number of people, but they have great drinks for a decent price (well, liquor drinks. Beer was ridiculous!). If you're adventurous enough, you'll end up going through the shot conga line a few times to score a few drink so it was worth it.
Side Note:
Do you recognize these people?
They're on TLC's show Little Couple & their entire family was on our cruise ship. I guess someone's brother got married and they were filming for the show. Needless to say our ship was crawling with cameras, producers and randomness the entire time.
Moving on…
After Senor Frogs we hopped on a water taxi to a beach near Atlantis–the big resort on Paradise Island in Nassau. The weather wasn't exactly perfect, but we were just happy to get in the water. It was H.O.T. I'm a Florida girl and this Bahamas humidity was suffocating.
Once we got to the beach, we hit up the nearest bar…clearly this was an interesting experience.
They hacked open a coconut right in front of us and poured us variations of rum punch. I'm not sure if there was actually any rum in them, but it was all for the experience. =)
I was desperate for conch on this mission. It's amazing and well, I was in the Bahamas and it's their specialty. I was wandering near the port trying to find some. One place was sold out (huh!?) and another person directed me to a fishing boat at the end of the pier for a conch salad. I'm like.. um… ok. Not shady at all.
We got all pretty for the Captain's Reception (Always go to these! Free drinks!)
