Diving straight in, the work opens with a brief note about how it provides a ready-made, populated location for gamemasters to use, or useful background for players whose characters are scumborn or belong to a scum faction... and just in case you are not sure what that means, it then launches into an introduction to the whole concept. Briefly, a scum swarm is a space-faring community with a very democratic - even anarchic - approach to everything: collective decision-making, concensus... and little regard for rules or reverence to what more settled societies may find important.
From such generalities, the narrative turns to a specific group, the Stars swarm. Born out of industrial unrest in turbulent times, the swarm began with workers in lunar orbital facilities taking control of the resources around them... just when the situation back at headquarters took a turn for the worse, and so nobody was in a position to object as the collective upgraded propulsion systems and took off, gathering many other refugees as they departed. Rather more ordered than some swarms, they now follow a set route around the system, trading as they go but still adhering to their original libertarian collectivist lifestyle.
Looking at the swarm's relations with others also provides ideas for how they may feature in your game. Provided you are not in a hurry, for example, hitching a ride can be an interesting way of relocating to a different habitat or planet. Some habitats send those they don't want around any more to the swarm in a form of exile. The swarm does the same in reverse, dropping off those unable to conform to their particular way of doing things. There are plenty of examples of specific collectives and individual ship crews for you to select one whose interaction with your characters should prove interesting. As for characters wanting to have background or history with the swarm, there's plenty for them as well. Most of what is here is what would be regarded as 'common knowledge' - or at least what you could acquire with minimal research - so there should be no difficulty allowing players access to this work.
Next comes descriptions of some of the actual vessels that comprise the physical swarm, sufficient for any interaction or character visits you may have in mind. This is followed by a selection of NPCs to populate the vessels, or act as representatives of the swarm wherever your characters meet them.
Finally, if what has come before hasn't already given you plenty of ideas, a selection of plot hooks is presented to help you interweave the Stars swarm into what is going on in your campaign.
Overall, this adds an extra, fascinating element to the already rich tapestry of life in this setting. If you are happy with a lot of adaptation, you could retool the swarm to provide a really unusual encounter for any other spacefaring game that you play.

Another excellent supplement for Eclipse Phase, though one of limited use if you're not running a gatecrashing game. That said, the exoplanets and story seeds included for them are interesting enough that you might just want to include it just so you can use them. There's also an assortment of new gear and morphs that are worthwhile no matter what type of story you're playing.

Eclipse Phase

The art is what initially caught my eye on this book. Both the cover and interior artwork are extremely evocative. The creative commons licensing is another big plus -- I really admire the trust that they're willing to place in their fans. A third perk is that Posthuman incorporates any errata into their PDFs very quickly, so there's no cross-referencing multiple documents when you play.
But those are just icing, really. The most important elements are the system and the setting. The game uses the short fiction, Lack, to draw the reader in, and then goes on to detail a very nuanced post-singularity future in which transhumanity is recovering from near-extinction at the hands of their own creations. While I found myself most drawn to the socioeconomic conflict at the heart of the Martian terraforming effort, there's a little something for everyone in the setting, from the corporatist Planetary Consortium to the autonomists and anarchists of the outer system.
Character creation can be complex if you're not using one of the sample characters, so be prepared for that to take a little time (and ideally, track down an Excel character sheet to help keep track of things), but the system runs very quickly in actual play. The game is flexible enough to handle virtually any type of character, with normal characters including humans, AIs, and animals raised to sapience who may have an assortment of biological or synthetic bodies (or exist as an infomorph, with no physical body at all.)
An interesting and evocative setting, a system that runs quickly in play, and a company that's extremely fan-friendly? I'm hooked.

Date Added: 11/13/2011 11:19:52
A great way to introduce people to Eclipse Phase, which is an extremely well done science fiction/transhuman RPG. Even if you've already got the core, the Quickstart includes an adventure scenario (Mind the WMD) with four sample characters, any of which are also suitable for use in other games or as NPCs. As a minor note, the Quickstart rules were put together before the latest errata (already incorporated into the Eclipse Phase corebook PDF or the third printing of the hardcover), and if being used as a player handout, the GM will have to update players on the changes to initiative and margin of success.

At 18 pages, The Stars Our Destination is slightly longer than either Bump in the Night or Continuity, though it comes in shorter than Ego Hunter or Glory, by way of comparison with other Posthuman products at the same price-point. It's a very enjoyable look at the history and personalities that make up a scum swarm, and as such is useful either to directly import into a game or to use as a template for other swarms. The included plot hooks work well for either visitors or residents of the fleet, so can be used by a variety of game groups, Firewall and otherwise. For my part, I'm looking forward to future releases of this nature as a means to flesh out other aspects of the setting that aren't getting full sourcebooks in the near future.

Very good overview of a scum fleet. The book was a bit short but is priced very well for it's length. I would have liked to see more artwork and/or a short story like those in the other E.P. books. That probably would have doubled the price but it would have been worth it. Overall, this book is a must have for fans of E.P.

Eclipse Phase: Gatecrashing Hack Pack

Date Added: 11/06/2011 18:16:50
Where do you go exploring in a solar system that is filled with people?
Gatecrashing, The second expansion book for the Eclipse Phase RPG, answers that question rather well.
With the introduction of detailed information on the Pandora Gates, which were mentioned in the core book, players can now explore planets in other solar systems by traveling through these gates.
While the weird and wonderful locations you can reach through the Pandora Gates are the focus of the book, just as interesting is the politics and intrigue surrounding the possession of and access to the Gates. The mysterious origins of the Pandora Gates and the potential profit to be had by those possessing them are ripe for a backstabbing and betrayal filled campaign.
The actual extrasolar missions themselves as describes are filled with hazards form these strange new planets, and this things that can be encountered there. and the potential for being stranded in these strange places breeds paranoia in bucket fulls.
If there is anything to not like about this book, it is perhaps that too much is borrowed from the Stargate franchise. At some points the descriptions of the Gates and their operating procedures could be a carbon copy of a Stargate description.
Perhaps a little more effort could have been put into distancing it from such a popular series with such a similar premise.
That said, when taken in context with the Eclipse Phase setting as a whole, it works very well.
Overall, an excellent product that any sci-fi RPG fan should pick up.

In relation to past Eclipse Phase products, I'd place it somewhere below Sunward and above Gatecrashing. In relation to any other RPG product, I'd place it in my cart to buy immediately. :) If you're looking at this review, you've presumably already read the core book and fallen in love with the setting. This book is more of the same in the best way possible, brilliantly researched "fluff" to bring colour and life to new corners of the setting, and a wee bit of new "crunch" to go along with it.

Ego Hunter thrusts players and GMs alike into the gritty ethical and philosophical dilemmas of Eclipse Phase, and this is where it really shines. From conflicting loyalties to crime in a post-national solar system to the legal status of digital (trans)humans. It's a great adventure for new players with some solid grasp on the world and atmosphere of Eclipse Phase.

This is a great product; I love the 'fluff' is much more of a way people thing and how things operate rather than most other fluff, it is quite a bit of information that players can incorporate and utilize in playing the game rather than just background information. It's well written interesting and useful

Eclipse Phase: Lack
Ben K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 08/26/2011 12:13:56
This product is excellent. It's just a quick short story, but a great introduction to the Eclipse Phase universe. Eclipse Phase material (with the exception of some presentation/graphic design elements) is Creative Commons licensed, so you could just remix this if you own the full manual, but I didn't mind paying 0.99 to someone else to have the ePub formatting work done for me.
This and the other ePubs are great introductions to the flavor that the Eclipse Phase universe has, and a good way to sell the campaign to players (or even game masters). Lack is an excellent presentation of one detail a lot of players will be skeptical of - that you can allow for a resurrection / respawn mechanic in a table top RPG and maintain realistic internal universe mechanics and a strong degree of scientific verisimilitude.
Highly recommended.

Eclipse Phase: Panopticon

[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 08/26/2011 10:19:57
Panopticon is a must-have Eclipse Phase supplement.
I feel that Posthuman Studios could have given it another once-over check for errors, though the errors present are simple typos rather than major errors. That said, if you won't be totally nit-picking with the typos and you'll actually read the whole book, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The art and writing, as always, is top notch (sans typos). The book offers in-depth analysis of social issues through a science-fiction proxy, though that's to be expected from Posthuman Studios, they really hit home with Panopticon. Add in a ton of new rules for all sorts of awesome (surveillance and uplifts, as well as habitat stuff), and everyone will be happy.
The nice little intro story kicks off the rest of the book nicely by providing a quick glimpse at some of the deeper discussion of concepts later on, and also is plain awesome (to use an academic term). Then in true Eclipse Phase manner, the book launches in to well over a hundred pages of setting and background, combined with little fiction or explanatory blurbs. While I like setting more than the average guy, I feel that even fans of mechanics that normally disdain setting exposition would enjoy the more cerebral standard set by Posthuman Studios.
The book wraps up with mechanics for everything discussed throughout the book, including lots of new morphs and gear/services. As always, the mechanics are solid, and Panopticon delivers on providing a solid science-fiction experience without feeling cheesy.
I'd recommend Panopticon for any fan of Eclipse Phase. The high standard of quality set by Posthuman Studios really shows in this product, even if there are some lapses in grammar and spelling that are aggravating.

Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SOUTH JORDAN — Hal Naylor knelt down and hammered a hole in the grass before he placed a flag next to the headstone.
"No matter how much you water this, you still got to force it in," he said.
The 78-year-old and his wife, LaRae, placed 322 flags donated by the American Legion on veterans' graves at the South Jordan cemetery Thursday and Friday. It's the continuation of a tradition that began about 90 years ago.
In the 1920s, World War I legionnaire Robert Thomas began placing flags near veterans' graves in the cemetery. In 1945, his son George Thomas took over, putting out flags every Memorial Day and Veterans Day for 62 years until his health made him unable to spend the hours it takes to complete the task.
Hal and LaRae Naylor took over in 2008.
"These guys deserve to be honored," LaRae said, holding a clipboard with names and gravesite locations in one hand, and a bag of flags in another.
At the entrance to the cemetery stands a memorial to veterans. Dedicated in 2002, the monument features a statue of two soldiers and maps showing major battles in every war from the Civil War to the Gulf War.
"Our lives are filled with symbolism," reads the plaque near the monument. "This monument, dedicated to those who served their country, is symbolic of sacrifice. May those who come here find peace, courage and hope."
The Naylors' home borders the cemetery, and every time they notice a new grave being dug, Hal speaks with South Jordan employees to find out if the deceased was a veteran. LaRae enters the names and gravesite location into a document on her computer.
"I'm not computer literate, I'm computer illiterate," she said. "But I can do this."
The Naylors walked up and down the rows of headstones looking for names.
"You'd think after four years we'd have it memorized," LaRae Naylor said.
The couple said they know some of the deceased in the cemetery. Hal Naylor stopped at the grave of Darrell Holt, who died in 2002. Holt served in World War II and was a prisoner of war in Germany who escaped, Hal said. He later served an LDS mission in Germany.
"It seems impossible," LaRae Naylor said about Holt escaping the prisoner of war camp.
Colby Hill, associate director of public works for South Jordan, said the community appreciates the time the Naylors take to put out the flags.
"We're very appreciative of the service and patriotism they provide without fail," he said. "It's something we appreciate and are honored to have him do."
Hill hopes the Naylors will be able to continue their service as long as they are able, but said when they are no longer able, South Jordan will work with the city's historical society to find other volunteers.
As Hal Naylor nails in another flag, three walkers passing through the cemetery shout out to him.
"We were just thinking this looks so beautiful with all these flags," one said.
"We could use some help," Hal responded.
None of the walkers seemed too interested. The Naylors didn't seemed fazed, though.
"We could be here forever," LaRae said.
With a long day ahead of them, the Naylors continued walking through the cemetery with LaRae marking names off her list to make sure every veteran is remembered. All 322 of them.
"We'll just do it as long as our health will let us," Hal Naylor said.

Editorial: A magnificent mall?
Considering all the negative news about the Northland Mall property over the last several months — the last few years, actually — it's hard not to be downright excited about this week's developments.
It's also easy to be a little cynical, too, but we'll aim to be as positive as possible, considering the blighted Oxford Street property can't get much worse than it is now.

What do you think could this be used as a primary fermenter. I was thinking of buying one of these and using it as my exclusive apfelwein fermenter. Rain Barrel 15 Gallon Plastic Nice Handle 2 Sealed Lids - eBay (item 220329558972 end time Jan-12-09 18:09:50 PST)
The listing says it used to contain either laundry soap or dishwashing soap. I would think with a good oxyclean or bleach soaking these shouldnt be a problem. would you use something like this?
Those are exactly what I use for fermenter. I get them for free from my local homebrew shop. Its what they store LME in. Great thing about those is I use one cap for a blowoff and another for a spigot. When fermentation is complete I just tip it on its side and open the spigot.
I have two of them I got from a HBS that used them for LME...

working on upgrading to electric if someone would liek to brew me some i would be more than happy to pay for all the ingredients and come help out. Let me know if your near Vincennes Indiana
So, how do you clean these? Just some hot water and PBW or Oxyclean and shake the heck out of it? I am thinking of maybe .. replacing a conical with some different fermenters and I really like the size and portablity of these.
Thanks for the link Edwort. I couldn't find these on their web page a few days ago. Just ordered 2. Freight was only $10.30. Any problems getting them clean through such a small whole?

Outdoor dog urine smell...
I sit dogs in my home near San Diego. The smell of dog urine in my small backyard has become a problem.
My yard is not landscaped. I tore everything out when I bought it, and haven't decided what to put back there. Right now it's just dirt. My neighbors tell me our yards are decomposed granite. It's dry, light beige-colored dirt. It's not clay or rich soil or anything like that.
We get very little rainfall here. When it does rain, or when I try to hose everything down (thinking it will cause the urine to soak in), the smell gets much, much worse (especially if it's a hot day).
I plan to put a fast growing sod in the yard and water it frequently. I know the dog urine will cause dead patches, but this stuff will come back. I'm hoping the sod might somehow help with the smell.
I've read that the smell comes from bacteria that digest the chemicals in urine and release gas that has an ammonia-like smell. I guess that's what I'm smelling. I presume that I could spray a bunch of watered-down bleach on the dirt, but, of course, that wouldn't be very eco friendly, cost effective, or good for the grass I intend to eventually plant.
Does anyone know what I can do to lessen or get rid of the urine smell? Do you think the sod will help? I'd really love any suggestions (and yes, I am seeking lessen the amount of peeing in the yard).
I've used lime, aka soil sweetener, to cut down the odors in dog runs but I'm not sure how well it will work on the type soil you have. http://www.gardenguides.com/99762-use-lime-rid-dog-urine-odors-soil.html
Your easiest solution may be to buy an enzyme used specifically in dog kennels. I've used the one below on concrete and inside the house and it works.
In addition to using one of the products mentioned, I think what will really help is to use an oscillating sprinkler daily in that area of the yard. It will slowly dilute the urine and allow it to migrate into the soil.

Standing in a brutal stapaddo is painful enough for Elise Graves. The Realtime Bondage crew has her feet secured to the floor in solid metal boots so she's not going anywhere. When her legs get tired she's going to want to sit down and the only seat available just happens to be a board of spikes.
She wants to cum from the vibration on her clit but there are so many things hurting her at the same time it's nearly impossible. The suction cups on her nipples are like a non-stop tugging pinch. The spikes under her ass are digging in hard enough to leave dents. The collar around her neck is barely allowing Elise to breathe. How is a young slut supposed to orgasm through all of that?
(click the images above to see a gallery with 16 larger photos from this episode)
The marks each of these treatments leave are amazing. Her nipples are distorted, her ass is on fire and she can't hold back the screams or the tears. At one point she had nicely done makeup. Now the mascara's smeared around her eyes. A few stickers tell Elise that she's been doing a good job in the most humiliating way possible. The savage caning that Elise takes next is enough to leave her weak in the knees. Again, she's left sobbing.
They want her staring into the camera for every stroke and that level of concentration means she has no way to block out the pain. Even if Matt has a hard time hitting her around the frame she's secured to, each time he lands a blow it gets a response.

Dreadful. Made an exception and let him drop his bags early before check-in time, making clear that I was busy and had work to do, had little time, and only accepted his same-day booking because he seemed to really need a place. Instead of saying hi, grabbing the keys and leaving, he made himself comfortable, launched into complaints about previous airbnb hosts, asked if we could do yoga together (what exactly do you think this is?), and, after I gave up and tried to work with him rattling on, actually unpacked his bags, got out his snapshots, and interrupted me at my desk to look at them, expecting a captive audience. Mind you--this was all when we was meant to be dropping off his bags before check-in. And *then* he returned before the agreed upon time. He blatantly disregarded my request for quiet and space during a busy period, which I had made very clear before he booked. He was shocked that I had boundaries and insisted they be respected. By the second night I was so uncomfortable with him in my home, I had to ask him to leave. This easily was my worst experience in my 5 years of hosting. Thank heavens for all the other kind, respectful guests out there.
Pablo was very hard to communicate with. After we arranged the time for him to pick up the key he didn't show up for about an hour, didn't answer his phone and just kept me waiting. As another host mentioned - he complained a lot and was very demanding. I wouldn't want him to be my guest again.
Pablo is a fantastic and respectful guest, not to mention a wonderful person to get to know! Well-traveled, clean, and mindful - I welcome him to stay next time he's in New York City! Thanks, Pablo!
Pablo complained about everything. He was rude, aggressive and irrationally confrontational. He had a disregard for time and shared space: with long and loud telephone conversations late at night, barged into my space at 7 pm, demanding that the lights be turned out, complaining of noise on the street. This is not a highly trafficked street.
I went out of my way to make him feel at home, cooking and inviting him to share food, talking about art and life. He complained of privacy when I reached out to offer my help when he seemed to need it. His stay at my place was by far the worst experience I've had.
Pablo was a great guest at Henry Street!
He is so courteous and clean and was a great experience all around
Wonderful guest ! Pablo est un homme très intéressant, un hôte charmant et très respectueux . C'est un plaisir de l'avoir à la maison. Je le recommande sans hésiter ! Il est bien entendu le bienvenu s'il revient ! Pablo, fue un placer conocerte :)
Pablo was a nice host, quite and clean. It was very pleasant to talk with him.
I recommend him as a guest.
Good guest, everything fine.
Pablo is very nice and polite. It was interesting to speak with him. I reccomand him as guest and hope he liked his stay in Venezia
Thank you Camila, I think your place is the best, and I also like very much speaking with you. Thank you for the tips about the Venetian food and where to find it. Gracias a tu Hermana por prestarme sus botas para el agua. Fue una verdadera experiencia veneciana, Your home is truly beautiful.
Pablo was a WONDERFUL guest.

Actifio, the copy data virtualization company, today announced a significant expansion of its product portfolio dramatically increasing the scope and scale of its enterprise class data virtualization platform. The new offering will extend the functionality of Actifio CDS, making a virtual instance of the company's Virtual Data Pipeline™ technology available wherever application data may reside, from the data center core to the public cloud.
The new product will be the first in a new family called "Actifio Sky™," and marks a milestone for the company as it moves beyond its integrated appliance-only roots. Company executives took the occasion to describe the company's full scope product vision – Actifio Anywhere – in more detail than has previously been revealed.
What Actifio Does
Today distributed enterprises are focused on improving resiliency, agility, and mobility toward cloud-based infrastructure, even as the sheer volume of data they need to manage is exploding. Actifio's copy data virtualization platform solves these problems, replacing a complex tangle of siloed storage and data management systems – all creating copies of the same production data – with a single solution that lets customers:
1. Capture data from production applications according to an SLA that can be defined in just a few clicks and changed anytime,
2. Manage the lifecycle of that data in the most efficient way through the creation of a single "golden master" that can be stored anywhere and updated incrementally forever, and
3. Use that data to spin up an unlimited number of virtual copies for any use, anytime, anywhere.
Actifio virtualizes data as other technologies have virtualized compute and networking, decoupling management of increasingly strategic enterprise data from increasingly commoditized enterprise infrastructure. IDC estimates the worldwide market for products and services in this space, which it refers to as copy data management, at $46 Billion in 2014.
To support mid and large enterprises, Actifio has to date delivered this capability through the certified configuration and deployment of an integrated appliance, called Actifio CDS. Actifio CDS supports a complete range of platforms (VMware, Windows, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, AS/400, Unix, Solaris…), applications (SQL, Oracle, Exchange, Sharepoint, SAP, DB2…), and use cases (backup, snapshot, BC/DR, dev & test, compliance, analytics…) across all vertical industries, in 32 countries with over an exabyte of application data under management.
Actifio Sky™
Actifio Sky is a new generation built on the foundation of the company's Virtual Data Pipeline™ technology, now protected by an expanding portfolio of 36 in process or approved patents. It extends the power of copy data virtualization from the data center to the edge of the enterprise, and into the cloud.
Actifio Sky offers a new level of deployment flexibility and range, enabling seamless data management wherever the enterprise data is located to improve data protection, governance, and analytics. Sky will be offered first for Remote / Branch Offices (ROBOs,) and a Cloud deployment option for businesses looking to shift enterprise workloads into the cloud. Together with Actifio's CDS data center appliance, Actifio Sky eliminates barriers to data mobility between the edge to the core, enabling transformational data management velocity and scale across the enterprise.
Built on VDP technology, Actifio Sky's capabilities now include:
- Easy Download and Deploy with a consumer-grade UI delivering an intuitive, point-and-click data management delivering faster time to productivity
- Application-centric, SLA-based management for powerful remote data protection and disaster recovery for applications
- Rapid recovery from remote site failure, centrally, or into the cloud
- The ability to vault data directly to public cloud storage services including Amazon™ Web Services
- Patented Dedup-Async Replication™ for network-optimized data replication and space efficiency through Direct-to-DeDup storage
"Actifio Sky gives our customers another powerful capability to capture, manage and use their data for multiple use-cases wherever it is stored - in remote offices or in the cloud - for recovery or application development scenarios," said Abdul Altamimi, EVP RestorePoint. "As a leading provider of data protection and disaster recovery solutions, we're equally excited by the positive response of our users to our Actifio-powered services, as well as Actifio's continued platform innovation. This solution from Actifio perfectly supports our customers' needs to address exponential data growth, increasingly complex regulatory requirements and an expanding network of remote and branch offices."
"Actifio Anywhere"
The company announced both deployment options of Actifio Sky in the context of a broader product vision than has previously been discussed.
"Actifio Sky is already giving our enterprise customers access to data sets they'd never been able to gather, analyze, and protect before, and simplifying the customer deployment model of our cloud service provider partners," said Actifio Founder & CEO Ash Ashutosh.
"Enabling Actifio's technology to run on a virtual appliance has been a key milestone in our platform vision right from the start. With the launch of this platform extension, we're demonstrating the depth and breadth of our underlying technology, and taking an important step toward letting an even broader range of customers across every geography, vertical, and market segment tap the power of Actifio's copy data virtualization model in whatever form makes the most sense for them… as a fully integrated appliance leveraging bundled, existing, or third-party storage; as a virtual appliance which can be deployed readily into the edge or the cloud; or as a cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS,) available on demand and accessible through any device. We call this vision 'Actifio Anywhere,' and it points to the exciting range of Actifio products and services customers will see us introduce to the market over the coming months and years."

Supporting Quotes - Customers:
- "As an industry leader in disaster recovery and business continuity, we strive to work with the most innovative companies, like Actifio – a pioneer in copy data virtualization, to bring exceptional service to our customers," commented Souvik Choudhury, vice president of Recovery Services product management at Sungard Availability Services. "Actifio provides our mutual customers with a way to free their data from underlying infrastructure with a compelling economic proposition. We look forward to introducing this new product to our portfolio, to help manage our customer's data wherever it resides - on premise or in the cloud."
- "At the core of our crowdsourcing innovation, virtual technology and operational efficiencies is data. The technology solutions that power our ability to access and present information to our call-center teams are mission critical to our business," said Martin Ingram, CIO Arise Virtual Solutions, "We are implementing Actifio Sky and are leveraging it together with our central Actifio CDS solution for better service levels at a lower cost than any other solution on the market today. This new innovation from Actifio further validates and extends our initial investment in copy data virtualization."
- "Our experience with Actifio Sky has truly been remarkable. We were able to deploy it in less than an hour and began replicating the protected data back to our datacenter soon after," said Randy Bagby, Sr. Systems Engineer, Triad Retail Media. "This gave us local access to remote data that we'd frankly never been able to quickly access before. Going forward it will enable us to improve our ability to not only protect but access this important data when and where we need it. The impact of that in our business will be significant."
Supporting Quotes - Analysts:
- "Copy data virtualization represents a fundamental shift in approach to business agility and resiliency as IT professionals begin to think in terms of data management rather than 'siloed' backup/recovery, application dev/test, business-continuity, analytics, disaster-recovery and archiving operations," said Dave Simpson, Senior Analyst at 451 Research. "Combining Actifio CDS's proven ability with Actifio Sky's rapid deployment at remote sites or in the cloud, users can now manage all their application data from a single platform, wherever application data may reside, transforming copy data from a liability into a strategic business advantage."
- "As the amount of data managed by organizations continues to grow, the cost and complexity of copy-centric activities like backup and disaster recovery continues to rise," said Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst at ESG. "Actifio has hit upon the obvious solution - helping companies make fewer copies of data and maintain fewer silos. Now with Sky, it has eliminated any remaining barriers to data mobility, minimizing cost and complexity while delivering data copying, protection and restoration even as companies shift enterprise workloads into the cloud."
- "Companies have to protect and manage their data as efficiently and effectively as possible in a new economy driven by requirements for 24/7 access. But in a quest to meet service-level objectives, generating multiple copies of primary data has become the norm for businesses, costing them roughly $46 billion in 2014 and consuming 65% of external storage systems capacity," said Laura DuBois, Vice President at IDC. "Getting that spending under control while also maintaining business agility will be imperative for companies, and Actifio strikes at the root of this problem with Actifio Sky, offering a single platform for businesses to manage copies of data efficiently, maintaining service levels while creating significant cost savings. Whether apps live on-premise, at remote sites or in the cloud, Actifio's customers now can easily capture, manage and use the data for multiple purposes while reducing cost and complexity."

Docker is an excellent platform for organizations interested in running microservices. It offers portability and consistency between development and production environments, quick provisioning times, and a simple way to isolate services.

Anyone going to Nationals?
Just wondering if any of you here are planning on attending AHS National Convention this July in Columbus, Ohio.? I have never attended one, and this is my big chance, seeing how it is just a little 3 hour drive to get to Columbus. My sister in law and I are already registered and have a hotel room reserved!! I anticipate a lot of fun and information. The tour gardens look just fabulous!! I think that is what I am most looking forward too. Something great to look forward to , as it is starting to snow here in Northeast Ohio. Wondering if I will meet any GW friends there???!!
Yes, I'll be there along with about 500 others who have registered so far. This is going to be one great convention. The Franklin Conservatory all by itself is worth the trip, and we will have half a day alloted to visit that alone.
Anyone who is thinking about this needs to go ahead and register as the hotel ballorom will only hold 600 and that is the cutoff point. If they are clsoe to 500 now, this convention will soon be sold out.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
05 Dec 2013 05:52 GMT | Politics, Africa, Morocco
Women's rights activists in Morocco have criticised the Islamist-led government for excluding them from drafting a proposed legislation to combat violence against women and for seeking to dilute the bill through changes.
The long-awaited bill is currently under study in Morocco.It comes after the adoption of a new constitution in 2011 that enshrines gender equality and urges the state to promote it.
A preliminary version of the bill, which is still in the drafting stage, threatens prison sentences of up to 25 years for perpetrators of violence against women.
In addition, the bill would take unprecedented steps towards criminalising sexual harassment, risking possible three-year prison terms for suspects.
"We have waited for years for this law and we are now very disappointed by its content," said Najat Errazi, who heads the Moroccan Association for Women's Rights, speaking at a meeting in Casablanca, to discuss the bill, according to AFP news agency.
Sara Soujar, another activist speaking at the meeting, argued that the bill fails to include provisions relating to single women.
"This category is totally absent... Reading the text, you get the impression that violence basically only affects married or divorced women, even though others may be more exposed," she said.
"Young women who work in factories or as housemaids, many of whom are minors, are no less exposed."
Government committee set up
In the face of these objections, the government has been forced to establish a committee, headed by Abdelilah Benkirane, the country's prime minister from the Islamist Party of Justice and Development, to review the draft law and demonstrate its willingness to cooperate.
Progress is being closely followed in Morocco, where many have had traumatic personal experiences of a kind that the proposed legislation is designed to deter.
Rights groups' concerns resonate with the findings of a study recently published by the state planning commission (HCP).
The research says around one in every two unmarried women in Morocco was subjected to physical and/or verbal sexual violence during the year that it was carried out.
According to the study, nearly nine percent of women in Morocco have been physically subjected to sexual violence at least once.
Sexual violence of a physical or psychological nature has affected some 25 percent of women overall, and a startling 40 percent among 18- to 24-year-olds.

In January, Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Marysville proposed legislation to make it possible for students to get a degree from the California State University system through closer coordination between high schools, community colleges, and CSU. He later proposed a companion bill for $20,000 degrees from the University of California system.

An Egged bus 370 (R).
(photo credit:REUTERS)
On July 6 1989, Palestinian terrorist Abed al-Hadi Ghaneim hijacked the No. 405 Egged bus traveling from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and ran it off the edge of a cliff, killing 16 people and injuring 17.On that day, Islamic Jihad operative Ghaneim boarded the crowded bus and seated himself near the driver. As the bus passed a gorge near the Telz-Stone community, Ghanheim wrenched the steering wheel from the driver's hands, shouting in Arabic.The prosecution later stated that Ghaneim, a resident of the Nusseirst refugee camp in Gaza, was crying out "Radwaan, Radwaan," the name of a friend of his who had been injured during the First Intifada.The terrorist waited until the bus picked up speed before swerving it off the road, bursting through the safety barrier and rolling 100 meters down the ravine, at which point many of the passengers were thrown from the bus. Most of those killed in the attack were still trapped in the bus when it burst into flames. "I saw a girl walking out of the bus, and I shouted to her to get away from it fast," Netanel Zubri - who was severely injured in the attack - recalled in an interview with Channel 2 News in 2009.Students from the nearby Telz-Stone Yeshiva heard the victims' screams and rushed to the scene to care for the wounded until paramedics arrived. One of the students, Yehuda Meshi Zahav, went on to found the ZAKA lifesaving, rescue and recovery voluntary organization.Army helicopters quickly arrived on the scene and evacuated the victims to hospital, including the terrorist, who survived.On October 30 of that year, the Jerusalem District Court sentenced Ghaneim to 16 life sentences, after he admitted to carrying out the attack. According to the prosecution, Ghaneim had been planning the attack since early May. Before sentencing, defense counsel Jonathan Kuttab argued that the attack was a tragic event, triggered by an injury suffered by the defendant's friend, who was paralyzed during the intifada. In addition to the life sentences, Judges Shalom Brenner, Shmuel Finkelman and Dalia Dorner sentenced him to 24 additional terms of 20 years in jail.However 22 years later, Ghaneim walked out of prison a free man, one of the 1,027 Palestinians released from Israeli prisons in return for former IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, who spent five-and-a-half years in Hamas-captivity in Gaza.While several relatives of terror victims protested the prisoner exchange, singer Ruhama Raz who lost her sister in the bus attack, supported the deal. "There is no price for our soldiers. I say this with great pain, tremendous pain, and perhaps there are families that are angry with me," Raz told Channel 2. Another victim of the attack Shimon Pehima backed Raz, saying that if the decision was up to him he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.Terrorists targeted bus line 405 on two separate occasions two months later, but both Israeli security officials and civilians helped thwart the attacks. Just two months later, on September 9, 1989, a 26-year-old man from Ramallah stabbed 405 driver Shlomo Assor in the stomach and chest, shouting "Allahu Akhbar." Assor struggled with the terrorist and succeeded in halting the bus. Passengers overpowered the attacker and held him until police arrived and arrested him. No passengers were hurt. Assor was injured but was treated in an Israeli hospital and survived. The attacker later confessed to police that he had murdered a Jewish man just a few days earlier.Later that month, on September 17, 1989, Egged inspectors apprehended a West Bank Palestinian seen circling the express bus to Jerusalem and acting suspiciously. He was carrying a large brown plastic bag in which police found a large commando knife wrapped in a shirt. A top Egged official told The Jerusalem Post at the time that new security measures on the line had been introduced since the September 9 attack.The No. 405 bus attack marked the most deadly attack of the intifada to that date. It has been dubbed as the first Palestinian suicide attack, despite the fact that Ghaneim survived. None of the passengers boarding the bus doubted they would arrive at their destination, nor did they panic when the Arab man got up out of his seat and walked toward the driver. That day marked the start of a new phenomenon, a new face of the intifada, and the creation of a new element of fear and anxiety in Israeli society. But with the subsequent wave of suicide attacks that followed, suspicion and safety concerns surrounding public transport and public spaces became an ingrained element of Israeli society.Material from Jerusalem Post archives was used in this report
