Jean Staten Healy: IBM's Worldwide Linux Strategy
In October of 2000, IBM CEO Louis Gerstner announced that the company would investing $1 billion in Linux development. This announcement came off the heels of two substantial developments in the industry. Google, unknown at the time, appeared with Linux servers in 1998, and Dell announced they would begin pre-installing Linux on select servers in 1999. A few years later in 2004, Big Blue made a formal declaration of sorts in a series of television commercials that culminated with a commercial that aired during Super Bowl XXXVIII, announcing their commitment to a partnership with the Linux community. While intended as a signal to their competitors and the market at large, the message had an unexpected effect on an unexpected audience. It was a celebration heard round the world. The underground community that was beginning to evolve around the Linux operating system had received a shot of notoriety in the arm. The global community of corporate giants had just validated the movement with this one very public endorsement. Then, just as quickly as it had happened, there was silence.
I shared this nostalgic moment with Jean Healy, Director of IBM Worldwide Linux Strategy during an interview I was granted while attending LinuxCon in Boston. Over the course of an hour, both Jean and Sean Tetpon (Global Communication Manager, IBM) discussed where IBM has been, and what they have been up to. As it turns out, they've been pretty busy.
On the global front, IBM has positioned themselves as one of the largest international tech companies to fund developments in emerging economies. In 2006, IBM announced their decision to devote an additional $6 billion dollars to their operations in India, on top of the nearly $3 billion they already invested in the years just prior to that. In 2008, IBM announced the establishment of its Banking Center of Excellence in Vietnam. The project laid the groundwork for financial institutions to develop a core banking service using open source technology.
Partnerships with both Red Hat and Novell, both of which have designed their own Linux platforms for IBM's server product line, have enabled IBM to lead an aggressive open source campaign resulting in large scale implementations for Bank of Russia, Boston University, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the University of Arkansas, Deutsche Rentenversicherung Baden-Wurttemberg, and a multitude of other venues.
I asked Jean how recent announcements from other technology giants like Google, who are mandating a migration from Microsoft, would affect IBM's decisions as to their technology choices in-house. Their strategy is reasonably simple. When you look at a company the size of IBM, you have to look at your technology needs from a common sense perspective. There are aspects of their operations that will benefit from migrating to open source. To demonstrate this, she outlined the operations of their call centers, which now largely operate on Linux. IBM recently announced that they would begin using the open source browser Firefox (Mozilla), as their default browser across the board. The development test cloud is entirely comprised of Linux. Still, it comes down to having the right tool for the right job. There are still areas of their business structure that benefit from the use of other operating systems.
When asked about the future of IBM, the message was very clear: mobile computing. With mobile devices now outselling personal computers, and the widespread emergence of Linux-powered devices, mobile computing has become a priority to IBM. Technological advancements are allowing corporate America to take their offices with them. Medical science has evolved from machines that would fill entire rooms in times past, to hand-held devices reminiscent of a "Star-Trek" like era. Breakthroughs in advanced warfare technology are placing command of the battlefields in the hands of the soldiers that occupy it.
It all comes down to availability, Jean explains. Emerging economies are experiencing exponential growth thanks in part to open source technology, which levels the playing field of high-tech expenses. Schools in remote countries benefit not only from the operating systems produced by open source companies, but also from the devices designed to run them and remain affordable. The high availability of open source technology to the remote parts of the world extends a technological olive branch. Linux can't bring rain to the desert, but it's providing a way to gain from the benefits of technological breakthroughs experienced in more developed parts of the world.

Vested interest!
Vested interest! thats what it is.
I wish IBM optimize its own software product, IBM software are resource hungry wants I guess IBM does not optimize cause it want to sell its hardware.
"...$1 billion in Linux
"...$1 billion in Linux development". Wow, thats a lot of money and it shows that IBM knows the advantages of an open source operating system with a world wide community.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

It has been a long time since we up-dated our great customers and friends on the developments we have been working on for 2 and a half years. We have our inner Magnesium Oxide coating back on the inside of the bulbs as promised. We are still the only company in the world to put this effort into production. Our big announcement is that we should have every past order finished and sent in the next 2-3 weeks (this is because of our new customer service manager, Cara, who has been a RUV customer and rescuer for 10 years). All orders after that should have next day shipping. What made this possible is a new company that has people involved that have the same vision that ReptileUV has struggled to and maintained to keep; creating nothing less than the world's best reptile lighting. Mega-Ray Pet Care Lighting LLC will be able to make this wonderful bulb available to the world through many different distributors. As all of our old friends know, we have always put the animals before profit. "We don't care what sells well, only what does well for your animals," and with this adventure, any verified wholesale distributor, pet store, museum, aquarium, zoo, breeder, or any verified rehab center will be able to order the Mega-Ray™ through Mega-Ray Pet Care Lighting. Please have any one that is in this field contact Mega-Ray Pet Care Lighting LLC to be a distributor. Will this mean more competition for ReptileUV? Yes it will. But how many more animals will be serviced and cared for by this venture? This was only possible in my dreams over the past 10 years. The only involvement I personally have with this new company is that I am in total control of research and development so that the Mega-Ray™ name would never be a sell-out. Please beware of any counterfeit Mega-Rays! Contact us if you are in doubt of any bulb that carries this name. I want to personally thank all of our loyal friends. I want to apologize to any one that did not get serviced like they should have during the "impossible times" from which only my determination (or insanity) survived. We will still care for anyone that felt they were mishandled. Thank you to all of our friends that care so much about the creatures in our keep and in our hearts!

"Reptile Lighting is a process not a bulb."
Several years ago we developed the worlds best ultraviolet (UVB and UVA) reptile bulbs in the industry in a variety of different wattages and UV-producing levels. (I developed the very first Mega-Ray® in my shop while working on ultraviolet curing lamps.) These lamps have proven to be exceptional for developing 25-OH vitamin D3 for optimal health and for the treatment of metabolic bone disease (MBD). The educated herpetologist, hobbyist, and independent researchers have made this bulb the leading source of UV for reptile health internationally. But ultraviolet is just part of reptile lighting. Over the years we have expressed the importance of proper lighting on many different forums and discussion groups. I have spent thousands of hours on the phone and e-mail giving personal consultations on this subject and recently I was invited to give a discourse on the new Mega-Ray® ultraviolet technology at the 2006 Herpetological Taxon Advisory Group (HerpTAG) meeting in Ohio with the country's leading reptile zoo curators and herpetologists. Dr Henry Brames wrapped up the theme of the importance of lighting and health in the above quote
from his article
Realizing that this "process" can be complicated, we are in the process of adding a full line of products that will help the average keeper, as well as the professional zoologist/herpetologist, to reach their goals in duplicating the reptile's natural habitat (as regards lighting and heating) as closely as possible in captivity.
The importance of bright light (lux) and a good lighting spectrum (full spectrum
, high visual color rendition index, VCRI) for the animal's overall health is becoming more widely understood.
Naturally, large outside habitats are the best solution if you location allows. This is seldom a possibility for most keepers. We have personally let the sun do our work for us, supplying the bright natural spectrum of visible light through large windows. We only concern ourselves with the need for indoor UVR (since it won't come through windows) and heat.
The use of bright, large windows is not always possible, either, for many keepers. So ReptileUV has worked very hard studying the ability of different types of light bulb to duplicate the sun's spectrum (CRI) and intensity (lux). Looking at the spectrograms and lux readings, we have gathered a diverse collection of bulbs to help you produce exceptional lighting for your various species of reptiles.
All of our lighting products have the approximate CRI
(color rendering index), lux (light intensity) and (if they are UV
lamps) the amount of UVB
and UVA
(microwatts per square centimeter) they produce included in their description.
As we grow, we hope to add new product lines including lighting fixtures, electronic thermostats, light meters, halogen bulbs, metal halide bulbs, 5000K fluorescent tubes and compacts, adjustable fixture stands, UV fluorescent tubes, and reflectors. We never stop working on the new possibilities for the future Mega-Ray® designs.
If you consider yourself the exceptional keeper or just want to be, ReptileUV is the place to be. Let us share our 40 years of reptile keeping, rehabilitation, and research with you. As our site grows we will be posting the latest information concerning lighting and your animal's health.
Besides the addition of many new products we will enlarge this site to have a collection of information articles and facts that will help you understand how to create a mini ecosystem. We will answer questions such as "how hot will your bulb get?" "How much UV does my reptile require?" "Why can't I just use ordinary commercial mercury vapor bulbs from the store"? - and a host of questions our customers have asked us.
We will help expose false advertising, correct the fallacies about mercury vapor bulbs posted on various websites, debunk poorly written studies, and report new vitamin D3 studies.
Our customers keep a wide range of lizards, tortoises, turtles.. and avian species too. We plan to build a gallery and database on the many ways in which Mega-Ray® lamps are used in the most successful reptile husbandry.

A competitive angle of view, offered.
You all, anyone of you, can take it or leave it, and that is called an offer, which is demonstrably opposite a DICTATE.
When dealing with criminals who torture, enslave, rape, children, teenagers, any innocent victims will do for these criminals, when dealing with these serial killing, mass murdering, criminals with their badges that they create and pin on their Union Uniforms, when dealing with those criminals, they will only listen to words that they understand.
Criminals invent DICTATES.
Criminals understand the language of DICTATES.
If you don't, if I don't, if anyone loving Liberty does not, want, to speak the criminal language of DICTATES, then there are only a few alternatives left when dealing with criminals with badges.
Blind obedience is one process available to anyone who happens to be targeted by criminals with badges.
Yes sir, how high sir, lick your boots sir, my teeth, my lips, and my blood has soiled your boots sir, so yes, yes sir, I will lick your boots.
Here have my daughter, she is ripe, if it pleases you sir.
Here have my wife too, she may not like it much, but here, have her too.
Don't even pretend to not know about this crap.
Major source of profitable child sex slavery, kidnapping, torture, murder:
The pedophiles are running amok at the National (False Federal) level, and everyone with half a brain knows this fact.
Major source of profitable enforced drug addiction:
There is a whole Country, known as Afghanistan, whereby those False Federal "Leaders of the Free World" use it, the whole Country, to supply the Drugs they then PUSH onto Americans, they do so for POWER, for PROFIT, and for fun, and they are the people, the criminals, you keep sending Federal Reserve Notes to keep them happy, and keep them out of your homes, for now.
Major source of collective punishment, fraud and extortion, copied from the False Federal example, and now working against honest productive people in each State, County, and city across America:
The routine is predictable. The liars lie, and the victims believe the lie, and the power flows from the victims, who grow weaker, and the power flows to the criminals who grow stronger.
The example that almost blew off the curtain of lies, shown on almost every television, as a Reality Television Show, for all the ignorant masses to view, to then process the information shown, and to then either OBEY, without question, or to realize, in fact, that the criminals have, in fact, taken over, without any doubt left of any kind, reasonable or not, the criminals have, in fact, taken over, and they show everyone exactly what happens to those who disobey.
Having the POWER to invent, produce, and maintain competitive offerings of information, on Youtube, or on any other inventive, adaptive, creative, broadcast channel, of any kind, offers a way around the DICTATORIAL channels of MONOPOLISTIC information, so more and more people, in more and more places, are now less ignorant concerning many alternative versions of information, where once most everyone was under the SPELL of the ONE source of Disinformation, or False Advertizements.
It is our time, this time.
So...my name is Joe Kelley, I approve of this message, and I wholeheartedly approve of the message offered by that brave soul named Adam Kokesh.
I acted out a similar show of very limited, very individual, very inventive, very adaptive, spur of the moment, with little time for planning a safe path, small case bravado during my Campaign as a Candidate for National (not federal, the federal label is false) Congress, as a representative of the 40th District in California.
At the time I volunteered myself to attend an NRA meeting. I was running against both Republicans, the gun grabbing, assault weapons banning, incumbent, and the gun grabbing, assault weapons banning high paid liar, or idiot, being praised, and financed, by these members of this NRA lie. I was at the time a paying member of the NRA, but no longer am I investing in those lies. I said, from the audience, after someone acknowledged my hand waving, standing up, speaking, I said that no piece of paper can take away my power to defend myself.
There was no response. The group returned to investments in lies.
So those here who discredit inventive, competitive, adaptive, solutions like the solutions offered by Adam Kokesh, having some reasoning, in their own minds for such criticism, are challenged by that example, and challenged by my own example, to come up with something better.
End the FED
End the IRS
Bring the Troops Home (Start in the mirror)
Do so by July 4th, 2014, start now, finish early.
The obvious message offered by me, or Adam Kokesh, or anyone else who offers the obvious message, is a message that can be seen in the following link:
The criminals do not offer, the criminals DICTATE ORDERS, there is no opportunity to agree, or disagree, with the criminal version of UNION. You are a victim because the criminal joins you into the criminal UNION, and you had better pay when told to pay, because you will pay, one way, or another.
The criminals don't mince words all the time, sometimes the criminals let you know, in no uncertain terms, what you must do, or die.
Die slowly, by being worked to death, or die faster, in a cell, where your power to defend yourself is gone, where your power to defend anyone you may love is gone, since you were too powerless to see the criminal UNION for what it is.
Die alone.
Join an effective effort to defend against criminals with or without badges.
That is what is shown in that FLAG.
That is the defensive, voluntary, join or die, because the criminals have taken over, and the criminals will kill you, because that is what criminals do, the criminals will enslave you, the criminals will kill you, so join the voluntary effort to defend against the criminals, or be alone, all alone, a single individual against all those criminals with all those lies, those false badges, those false licenses, that false authority, all that Web of Deceit, one person, one individual, all alone, having only individual power to volunteer to fight against the criminals who took over.
All the defenders, all of them, always alone, separated, divided, cut into pieces, all unable, powerless, alone, against the Involuntary Union of Union Criminals with False Badges and False Authority.
It worked when that FLAG was the FLAG used by the Volunteers.
It worked as a Democratic Federated Republic, or Free Market Government Super Market, when it worked between 1776 and 1788, before the Criminals took over with their False Federal Involuntary Union.
If it did work then, in Liberty, why can't it work now, in Liberty?
There was nothing wrong with Voluntary Association then, so there is nothing wrong with Voluntary Association now.
The problem is such that the victims are led to believe that the only way to gain Liberty is by paying all that is asked for payments paid to those who invent, produce, and maintain INVOLUNTARY UNION.
If you are not joined voluntarily in defense against the horrors purchased on the backs of the ignorant and the apathetic masses of workers, then you are one of the ignorant and apathetic masses of workers, or you are one of the criminals.
If you are one of the criminals then your Federal Reserve Notes that you have are then sent to the Internal Revenue Service, in your Interest, because it is YOUR National Interest, to POLICE the world, so as to get your slice of the booty.
If you are one of the victims then you pay those Federal Reserve Notes to the Internal Revenue Service to keep those criminals busy torturing other people, not you, and that is called Extortion.
If you have a better idea than a Democratic Federated Government, a working Free Market Government Supper Market, then speak up, share your knowledge, please.
If your idea is just another example of an Involuntary Association, such as the ObamiNation created in 1788, then you are in a word stupid. You may be just ignorant. You may be believing in the lie. You may be just another criminal who DICTATES INVOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION upon your targeted victims.
Individuals think individual thoughts, individuals act out individual actions, and the math of adding all those individual thoughts and actions add up to a POWER that can be known by the individuals. The "collective" is not a thing, not something that can be held to account, and not something that can be blamed, no more than a gun can be blamed for willful murder, no more than any criminal claiming the false claim that the government, or society, made me do it.
The collective sum total of actions are not the individual actions.
Each individual adds to the total sum, but the individual having a will is the source of that individual POWER, and therefore the only ability to respond, as in responsibility, and therefore the only account that matters, as in accountability is individual, and fit to the individual matter at hand.
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Have a nice Independence Day, every day, please.

Thank you Joe!
Joe this is very well written. You should post it as it's own thread in DP Originals.
I have listened to Eddie Craig for quite some time. Thanks for posting his summary as well as the other links you posted. I've downloaded it to my ipod for multiple listening.

Thank you.
I am working on something I call Liberty Day Challenge.
I will cut and paste that earlier arrangement of words into the latest version.
Here are past versions of Liberty Day Challenge:
My willful plan is to start a 2014 version.
Notice in the Adam Kokesh video there is a statement made by Adam as such:
"See you next Independence Day."
Notice also the comment:
"We will not allow our government to destroy our humanity."
Like this:
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth - and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beasts."
When each and every individual Federal Reserve Note user, and Internal Revenue Service user, knows, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the criminals have taken over, that the False Federal Employees are money launderers, counterfeiters, frauds, robbers, extortionists, rapists, child sex traffickers, torturers, serial killers, and mass murderers, and We The People, each one of us, still uses that Fraud Money, and We The People still pay those "Tax Liabilities," then we are, each one of us, at that time, ourselves, willful criminals. At that time we are investing in saving our own asses one more days worth, while we hold all those innocent children being tortured, being murdered, to be tortured, experimented on, and murdered in the future, as OUR HUMAN SHIELDS.
We are then beasts.
When is the point of no return crossed?
Not idle words.
Not a vain attempt to gain popularity.
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth - and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beasts."
Real people, really doing something, something resembling due process, something resembling Liberty, something effective at defending the innocent from the guilty.
End the FED (make their issue of money irrelevant through competitive effort in Liberty)
End the IRS (without any demand for Federal Reserve Notes the IRS is powerless unless the criminals rewrite this system of extortion to base it on some other form of money other than Federal Reserve Notes which is the current based currency demanded as payments by these Federal Employees who are criminals)
Bring the Troops Home (One of them is already home, his name is Adam Kokesh, home from Iraq, and busy working in Liberty in an exemplary way, an individual way, and an effective way at defending the innocent from the criminals, so look in the mirror before discrediting one of the Troops who have come Home to Liberty)
Do these simple, easy to understand, things, by a certain targeted date, such as July 4th, 2014, start now, finish early.
If many copies of the Network idea beginning in that earlier link are currently working all across this country, the idea of competition in Legal Money will be realized soon enough, it is inevitable.
People become concerned about their own personal loss of power at the hands of potential criminals.
Not at all a wild conspiracy theory fantasy of utopia.
Then, after people become concerned about their own personal loss of power at the hands of potential criminals they realize that the Dispatchers at 911, Central Command, are often, and then more often, the criminals calling for reinforcements upon you, when you are stopped by "The Police" and where "The Police" are aiming to get money from you.
Not a big leap of faith.
Simple observations of facts, where people finally realize that the criminals have taken over, and then these people who are concerned about their loss of power are people who invent a process by which defense of Liberty is effectively realized in time and place.
Man, or woman, in a car, or in court, calls for help.
You can't call 911 when the attackers are the false authorities.
Who do you call?
Ghost busters?

I think he did what he claims, but not yesterday
I've been to DC on the 4th 27 times and I've NEVER seen it so quiet. Even if he was out there at the crack of dawn, on the 4th of July, DC is hopping. I think he did it another day and saved the tape until yesterday.
I'm surprised he didn't go smoke weed at the smoke-in and claim he was really doing something new and unique.
In fact, want to see thousands of people breaking the law in DC on the 4th?? Google dc smoke-in july 4th" It's been going on since AK was a twinkle in his daddy's eye.

Are you saying that he worked against it? Are you saying that this will not inspire people but will lead them to only fight from their keyboards?
Are you saying that Adam is just a self serving punk making money off of keyboard patriots?

"Our mission is to serve every kid."Reaction from interest groups to Thursday's vote was swift.The Human Rights Campaign said the BSA took a "historic step forward.""Unfortunately, the new policy does not go far enough, leaving adult Eagle Scouts, scout leaders, and parents behind," the group said.Scouts for Equality and GLAAD lauded the BSA's "commitment to creating a more inclusive organization."Jennifer Tyrrell, an Ohio mother who was ousted as a den leader in April 2012 because she's lesbian, called Thursday's vote "incredible."Opinion: Boy Scouts' decision makes no sense"They've never been raised to discriminate against anyone regardless of sex or color or anything, so they can't understand why people care so much," she said of her children. "... Definitely, one day, I hope they look back and think that we're part of something amazing."Tyrrell, in an interview with CNN affiliate KTVT, said that the vote energized her for her next push -- to change Boy Scout policy so that gays and lesbian adults, like herself, can serve as leaders."When we used to exclude women from things, when we used to exclude black people from things, and that never has ever worked, but we continue to do it," she said. "I'm going to be around to make sure that that's not the case. We're definitely not going to go away."Conservative groups and some religious organizations argued against making any change in the membership policy, saying it would dilute the Boy Scout message of morality and potentially destroy the organization.John Stemberger, founder of OnMyHonor.net, which opposed the resolution, called the vote a "sad day for Scouting."Stemberger claimed that Boy Scout officials didn't foster a "robust discussion," didn't provide "honest information" and "hid information from the delegates."He claimed that scouting groups now have two options: to "segregate" gay scouts from heterosexual ones by putting them in separate tents, or "put homosexual boys with other boys and put them at risk.""We wouldn't put boys and girls sleeping together. Why? Because they're attracted to each other," Stemberger told reporters.The conservative Family Research Council tweeted: "Sadly, the @boyscouts' legacy of producing great leaders has become yet another casualty of moral compromise."BSA conducted a survey on the issueThe vote followed months of intense debate among interest groups and within the ranks of Scouting itself.In February, the Boy Scouts' national executive board postponed a vote on the issue and ordered a survey of its members.That survey showed an organization divided by age and, in some cases, by region."While a majority of adults in the Scouting community support the BSA's current policy of excluding open and avowed homosexuals, young parents and teens tend to oppose the policy," the survey said.Survey: Should gay and straight Boy Scouts share a tent?A BSA spokesman at the time called the issue "among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today.""The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue," the group said after Thursday's decision.Chief Scout Executive Wayne Brock said, "Our goal through all of this was to put kids first ... It allows us to serve youth who want to be part of scouting."A long time grappling with a polarizing issueThe BSA for years has been at the center of the debate over gay rights.A recent Washington Post-ABC News Poll showed that 63% of Americans said they would support allowing gay youths to join the Boy Scouts. The vote comes more than a decade after the Supreme Court ruled that the organization has the right to keep out gays but also at a time of declining participation in the organization.Membership in Boy Scouts has declined nearly 20% since 1999. About 2.7 million young people now participate nationwide.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, after the vote, said it will continue to work with the BSA."Sexual orientation has not previously been -- and is not now -- a disqualifying factor for boys who want to join Latter-day Saint Scout troops," it said in a statement. It was too early to tell what impact the decision might have on scout troops, and whether some families may join other organizations.The impending vote did spur action by a new organization called Faith Based Boys. Thomas Dillingham, an official from that group, said applications will be accepted starting in August for youth members and group leaders."Christian churches and organizations will use this program to continue serving God by training young men to have good character through service to their communities," Dillingham said Thursday. "The profound need for a nationwide program like this has now been realized and the relevance of such a program will only become more important as time goes on."Tico Perez, the BSA's national commissioner, said there have been ongoing talks with churches and others opposed to the inclusion of gay scouts.That said, he echoed other Boy Scout officials in saying they believe that Thursday's vote ultimately helps advance the cause."We're accepting youth," Perez said, "and we're excited about where we are."More from usTwo Ferguson police officers resign over racist emailsNASA: Mars may have had an ocean comparable to Earth's AtlanticU.S. keeps close eye on Iran's role in IraqPowered by Livefyre

Trenton, New Jersey- Leadership is a key word when talking about Joe Panik.
And that aspect of him as a player garners quite a comparison.
"A lot of of us in the organization said he reminded us of Buster Posey," said Richmond Flying Squirrels hitting coach Ken Joyce. "In the sense that he has that same demeanor. He has that attitude in the way he goes about his business. He's professional, came from a decent family, and a good school at St. John's."
All of that is integral in helping the infielder, who is starting the season with a lot on his plate. Expectations (#4 ranked prospect in the Giants system by Baseball America) and a switch in position from shortstop to second base.
But none of that appears distracting to Panik.
"I've learned, especially with college and the [MLB] Draft, to ignore it and not pay attention," said Panik, 22. "Because a lot of the stuff they say is either too good, or some of the bad stuff is too bad. So I've learned to say, 'You know what?' Just ignore it. Concentrate on the game you've played ever since you were a little kid.
The Eastern League is always a big test for any player, as is any Double-A league. There's less errors to take advantage of. The challenges multiply. Panik is more humbled by that, than feeling over-matched
"Yeah, pitchers are a lot more consistent, that's for sure. They don't make too many mistakes. So you have to capitalize on it," Panik said.
In a game against the Trenton Thunder on April 11th, he showed impressive composure at the plate. Batting second (behind shortstop Ehire Adrianza), Panik worked hitter's counts consistently and made good contact with each plate appearance. It was in the 9th that he really turned on the lights. He took advantage of a struggling Thunder bullpen, hitting a two-out triple to right-center. His line-drive approach was good, but not enough to get the ball out of the infield. He never took a bad swing at pitches he couldn't handle.
That approach might be attributable to his mentality, as much as his natural ability.
"I'll tell you what, he's a very mature player. Very close to being polished when he came out of St. John's [1st round, 2011]," said Joyce. "I [worked] with him in the Arizona Fall League two years ago and he had just got done playing short-season. He was on a team with Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Brandon Crawford, and Wil Middlebrooks. And here's a kid who just started professional baseball, and was actually getting their attention. He hit .300 in that league just coming out of college. He's a guy that can swing the bat, uses the whole field, knows what his limits are, and has a good work ethic."
His ability to be selective was on display in that game, but Panik sees room for improvement.
"[I need to] become more consistent with pitch selection. When I try to do too much with a pitch, that's when I get into trouble. It's just patience."
The decision to move Panik from the middle of the infield to second was a period of adjustment, but one he embraced entering Spring Training.
"I played shortstop my whole life. And so playing second base was the main thing I worked on. Spring Training I was getting used to the turns. It was just about getting comfortable and taking a lot of ground balls. I definitely feel almost natural now."
In 2012, he hit .297, with 76 RBI and 58 walks in the California League. He was third in the league in hits with 159. Post-All Star break, he hit .324, and .337 with runners in scoring position.
So far this year he's hitting .235, with 4 RBI and 3 walks.
"I was pretty excited to come to the Eastern League, making the jump from High-A to Double-A. I was looking forward to it. So far I've gotten off to a good start and I've really gotten comfortable with the competition. Going forward, I'm very confident."
As a leader, he takes a performance-approach to the role. He knows who he is, even now.
"I like to be a leader through my actions on the field. I'm not one of those guys and get in someone's face. I pride myself on doing things the right way."

Texas Tech Names New Masked Rider Horse
Fearless Champion succeeds Midnight Matador as mascot's steed.
Written by Leslie Cranford
Fearless Champion made his debut at 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
When Texas Tech University completed the purchase of Hollywood at Dusk or "Woody" from a ranch in Tulia in mid-January, the quest was on for the perfect mascot moniker. A naming contest was launched and the winner was chosen in early March.
The wait for the unveiling of the horse's mascot name ended today (April 19) with the announcement of "Fearless Champion" as the winning stage name for new-Masked Rider Corey Waggoner's new horse. The name was announced at the annual Transfer of Reins ceremony held at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.
Fearless Champion is a black, 8-year-old Quarter Horse gelding, approximately 15 hands tall and about 1,100 pounds. He was the horse ridden by Masked Rider Ashley Wenzel at the Meineke Car Care Bowl Dec. 28.
The winner of the naming contest is Dr. Corey J. Haggard, an anesthesiologist who graduated from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in1989. Although 23 people submitted the same name, Haggard's was the earliest time-stamped email, per contest rules. For his winning submission, Haggard received Texas Tech football 2013 season tickets.
The contest netted 1,364 emails submitted, with more than 2,500 name suggestions. The chosen name was voted on and approved by the Masked Rider Committee on March 5.

Christ is forever passing by for each of us. He is always available to those who are sincerely looking for him. But he never intrudes into our lives. People who love do not act like that. He says to us what he says to John and Andrew:- "Come and see". If we accept his invitation we can be sure he will reveal to us the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.2nd Sunday of the Year

You would think that congress would take this as a sign that America doesn't want to take Obama's "medicine" or is it "Kool-Aid".

Amid a boisterous debate on health care reform, people flooded members of Congress on Thursday with so many e-mails that they overloaded the House's primary Web site.
Technical support issued a warning to congressional staff that the site — http://www.house.gov — may be slow or unresponsive because of the large volume of e-mail being sent to members.
Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the House's chief administrative officer, which maintains the Web site, said traffic data was not available and could not be released without the lawmakers' consent.
But anecdotally, he said, the spike in e-mail volume was widely believed to be a result of the health care debate.
"It is clearly health care reform," Ventura said. "There's no doubt about it."
Lawmakers are in their home districts this month for the August recess, where a populist backlash has emerged in some quarters against President Barack Obama's plan to reform the nation's health care system.
Democrats are trying desperately to regain control of the debate, with the White House posting a new Web site designed to dispel what it called "the misinformation and baseless smears that are cropping up daily." House Democratic aides have set up a health care war room out of Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office. It is designed to help lawmakers answer questions about the legislation.
Ventura said the last time he saw such a significant slow-down in the system was in January, shortly before the House passed an $819 billion bill to stimulate the economy.
Ventura said new technology called "load balancing" is in place to try to handle spikes in volume. So far, the House Web site remains available to the public.
In particular, people are heavily using a link on the site called "Write Your Representative," which helps a voter track down their representative by plugging in their zip code.
On the Web:
You would think that congress would take this as a sign that America doesn't want to take Obama's "medicine" or is it "Kool-Aid".
Ventura said new technology called "load balancing" is in place to try to handle spikes in volume.
Load balancing isn't new, but with the credentials of the United States CIO and CTO being in question, is it any wonder they are confused?
Perhaps Ventura should be added to the list to be checked out. I tell my clients there are so many fakers out there, when you call or contract for computer support it's literally 50/50 whether the person you get actually knows what they are doing.

Talk Is Cheap: How Insurance Changed The Face Of Psychiatry
"Why don't you lie on the couch and tell me what's going on?"
If you think this is how an appointment with a psychiatrist might begin, think again. These days only 10 percent of the nation's 50,000 psychiatrists actually talk to patients in the way Sigmund Freud popularized therapy according to the American Psychiatric Association. Psychiatrists who practice both psychotherapy (talk sessions) and psychopharmacology (prescribing medication) are a dying breed.
Instead, the norm that's dictated by insurance reimbursement payments is that psychiatrists stick to 15-minute medication checks -- insurers pay more for those. A psychiatrist may see 25 to 30 patients per day and simply ask if everything is going well while they write a refill.
Meanwhile, a patient's therapy, if they're lucky enough to have therapy, is handled by a psychologist or licensed clinical social worker, often not even within the same practice as the psychiatrist, making coordinated care difficult. Today's psychiatrists know little about their patient's personal lives, a stark contrast from the lay-on-the-couch-era decades before.
"The real change came about roughly between 10 and 15 years ago with the Prozac revolution. We had more antidepressants and more meds that supposedly were more effective," says Dr. David Reiss, a San Diego-based psychiatrist. While plenty of patients do so well on meds that they don't need therapy, studies show the majority of patients do best with both medication and talk therapy. But psychiatrists are trapped in a system of insurance incentives that discourages such integrated care. Talk simply doesn't pay as much. "Which makes it impossible to keep track of patients as 'people' as opposed to a collection of symptomatology to be medicated," says Reiss.Going where the money is
If psychiatrists wanted to pay the bills, they had to move with the times. "The psychiatry field has experienced an explosion in the use of prescription meds. Ironically, and according to an MD in my state, doctors can't afford to go into psychiatry because of insurance reimbursement. He claimed it is the lowest paying field for doctors and, with the cost of additional medical school for specialization, it isn't worth it," says Pandora MacLean-Hoover, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Newburyport, Mass.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Case | HBS Case Collection | January 2014 (Revised May 2014) Tech Mahindra and the Acquisition of Satyam Computers (A) Srikant M. Datar, Anjali Raina and Namrata Arora Set in 2008, the case details Tech Mahindra, an information technology (IT) company within the Mahindra Group, an Indian multi-industry company with a diverse stable of businesses including automotives, farm equipment, and financial services, and its decision to acquire controlling stake in Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (Satyam), a troubled Indian IT company managed since January 2009 by a six-member government-appointed caretaker board. Anand Mahindra, Chairman and Managing Director of the Mahindra Group, saw the acquisition of Satyam as a strategic opportunity to move to the next level of growth. The acquisition would allow the Group to diversify across verticals, customers, and geographies, market a wide range of services to Satyam's strong customer base, and capitalize on common support systems in order to reduce operating costs and secure operational synergies. His brief to Vineet Nayyar—the vice chairman and managing director of Tech Mahindra and the vice chairman of Satyam—and C.P Gurnani—the CEO of Mahindra Satyam—was based on a set of clear principles: rectify the issues related to corporate governance; ensure an environment of trust where ethical conduct was valued; manage reputation risks by meeting customers and demonstrating the Mahindra Group's commitment; and restore faith within customers through newfound business models of delivery and engagements. As Nayyar reflected on Anand Mahindra's words, he wondered what series of business decisions he would have to make in order to retain the good elements, throw out the bad pieces, regain trust, and trigger change within the newly anointed Mahindra Satyam.

The Sony Xperia Z1 is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, featuring a 20 MP camera and a Full HD display, next to a Snapdragon 800 processor and 2 GB of memory. Sony's flaghsip handset arrived earlier this month, but rumors of what seems to be its successor are already surfacing.
The Sony Xperia Z2 codenamed Avatar is still only a rumor and no images of this smartphone are available now, but its specs have been leaked already. These are supposed to be its features:
- Processor: octa-core Snapdragon 1200
- Display: 4K resolution, 5.4-inch IGZO+ touchscreen with 500 ppi
- Memory/Storage: 3 or 4 GB RAM; at least 64 GB ROM
- Camera: 26 MP featuring extreme low light sensors or the same 20 MP camera used in the Z1
- Operating system: Android 4.4 KitKat
One strong competitor for the Sony Xperia Z2 may be Samsung's Galaxy S5, already the topic of a few rumors. Both devices are expected to debut at CES 2014, but none of them has been officially confirmed yet.

These are miscellaneous items that are not quite ready for their own blog post. These can be things I'm working on, kitchen mishaps, new acquisitions, funny things, etc. These may or may not be coming to a blog post soon :-)
Being that it's National Pound Cake Day & the hubs and I both love pound cake … I just had to make one.
There are so many classic pound cake recipes out there but I wanted to find a new one that I had never made before so I settled on the Million Dollar Pound Cake from Southern Living magazine.
Although, this recipe did not turn out the way I would have wanted, it tastes really good. The issues with this particular cake are probably my own fault, anyway. Because it's only the hubs and me, I didn't want to make the entire recipe so I halved it. Then, I didn't quite bake it long enough (as you can see from the pic above). Also, I got busy with another task and forgot to turn it out from the pan after 15 minutes, as the recipe requested. When I did remove it from the pan, it crumbled a lot. In fact, the entire top came completely off.
No worries, though. All I had to do was cut off the offending top portion and all is well in pound cake land. Hubby had his with fresh strawberries and whipped cream while I had mine as is.
Happy Monday!
I would love to hear what's been going on in your kitchen.

Applications are the primary part of attraction in smartphones today. Greater part of the Facebook users devote most of their time in making use of Facebook programs. In fact, smartphones isn't going to sound interesting devoid of such appealing applications.

But according to the newest stats by the independent application measuring support - AppData, Android centered Facebook software has eventually overtaken iPhone Facebook software in its everyday people. In accordance to AppData analytical studies, the Android app had 58.3 million day-to-day consumers on 17th December, 2011 even though on the very same day iPhone's app everyday consumers was recorded as 57.four million.
In common, Android is regarded as the most used working process amongst all other accessible cellular OS. It is achievable that due to the fact of the most recent update produced in the Android facebook software, customers are utilizing it a lot more. This update has been cool ipad apps built only just before 11 times with more quickly characteristics, and simple navigation. It is generally thought that customers are additional prepared to use the application when the person experience is more rapidly and interface is less difficult of the app. Also, on 15th December, 2011 Facebook also launched the new update feature valuable to assistance the new element of Facebook - "Timeline". But this feature was not up to date until 18th December, 2011 on an iPhone app.
The war in between Android and iOS platform is heating up currently with the kick off of new attributes and updates.

French kiss
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013) |
In English informal speech, French kiss, also known as a deep kiss, refers to an amorous kiss in which the participants' tongues extend to touch the other participant's lips or tongue. The implication is of a slow, passionate kiss which is considered intimate, romantic, erotic or sexual. Slang synonyms include "swapping spit" and "tonsil hockey".[1]
A "kiss with the tongue" stimulates the partner's lips, tongue and mouth, which are sensitive to the touch. The practice is usually considered a source of pleasure. The oral zone is one of the principal erogenous zones of the body.
Anthropologists are divided into two schools on the origins of kissing, one believing that it is instinctual and intuitive and the other that it evolved from what is known as kiss feeding, a process used by mothers to feed their infants by passing chewed food to their babies' mouths.[2][3]
A French kiss is so-called because at the beginning of the 20th century, the French had a reputation for more adventurous and passionate sex practices. In France, it is referred to as un baiser amoureux ("a lover's kiss") or un baiser avec la langue ("a kiss with the tongue"), even if in past times it was also known as baiser florentin ("Florentine kiss"). The Petit Robert 2014 French dictionary, released on May 30, 2013, added the French verb "se galocher" — slang for kissing with tongues — making it the first time a single word described the practice (except in Quebec, where the verb "frencher" describes the act).
Disease risks[edit]
A light kiss or dry kiss in which mouths are closed and saliva is not exchanged carries basically no risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).[4] Of course, if the other person is sick, such as with the flu or infectious mononucleosis, there is some risk of transmitting those infections. In addition, dry kissing someone with major open sores or cuts on the mouth could potentially transmit herpes or scabies, but this risk is minimal unless the person has oozing, pus-filled lips.[1]
In contrast, French kissing carries moderate risk of herpes simplex virus 2,[1] gonorrhea, hepatitis B, HPV, and syphilis if the other person is infected.[4] As a result, it's recommended to know a partner's sexual history and/or test for STIs before French kissing.[1]

Transfer Email From AOL Mail To Thunderbird 3
Thunderbird is a powerful and free email client. We recommend Thunderbird as part of our Easy-Email solution. If you want to transfer your email to Thunderbird from AOL you can then choose to synchronize it on multiple computers. For more information on the first step - transferring your email - see the home page: transfer email.
This guide is specifically for transferring email from AOL Mail to Thunderbird 3. We have done the hard work and set it out clearly with screenshots for every step so you can get through the process as quickly as possible. Click on the book cover to see a sample page.
From AOL Mail |
To Thunderbird 3 |
You will need the following:
A good internet connection or patience if you have a lot of emails!
The new email client needs to be installed
How long does it take?
This largely depends on three factors:
The number of emails
The size of your attachments
Your internet connection speed
A note on tranferring contacts
Transferring contacts can be a challenge.
Names and email addresses are pretty straight forward.
The work involved in transferring other fields from one type of address book to another varies a lot. Examples of other field types are home and business addresses, telephone numbers and the like. Most email clients provide some sort of mapping tool to map fields from an import file to the natively used format.
As a rule of thumb: the more exotic fields you have used the more work will be involved in mapping to your new address book.
