Except for light showers in the southeastern U.S., Monday will be dry in the primary U.S. and Canadian Prairies crop regions. Temperatures will be much warmer in the Midwest than in the past few weeks, and again very warm in the central and Southern Plains. This combination will allow for some row crop fieldwork, but will further stress wheat in the Southern Plains, which is already laboring under extensive dryness post-dormancy. » More DTN Weather Commentary

Healthy lifestyle changes can improve levels of an enzyme called telomerase that controls the cell aging process. Telomerase repairs and lengthens telomeres; Telomeres are a tail like structures, composed of complex of DNA- protein complexes, found at the end of chromosomes. As telomeres become shorter and structural integrity weaken our cells age and die more quickly according to Dr. Dean Ornish and his colleagues at the University of California. Shortening of telomere length has become a marker for premature death and such cancers as prostate, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer.
In this study Dean Ornish and his colleagues asked 30 men diagnosed with low risk prostate cancer to make significant lifestyle changes. The changes included a diet with only 10 percent of their calories coming from fat, low in refined sugar, rich whole grains and fruits and vegetables. Stress management, relaxation and breathing techniques were included. At the conclusion of the study telomerase increased by 29 percent and LDL cholesterol decreased.
"To our knowledge, we have reported the first study showing that comprehensive lifestyle changes are significantly associated with increase in cellular telomerase activity levels and telomere maintenance in immune system cells."
Dr. Ornish said in a recent news release" the implications of this study are not limited to men with prostate cancer; comprehensive lifestyle changes may cause improvement in telomerase and telomeres that may benefit the general population as well."

Each year, local singers of all ages gather together to participate in a community-wide sing-a-long event held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
The Turlock Irrigation Board of Directors will meet on Tuesday morning, as reviews of the 2014 budget continue forward.
Anthony Belew is an educator and athletic director at Turlock High School.
It's time once again to change those clocks, as daylight savings time ends on Sunday. At 2 a.m. Sunday, turn clocks backward one hour to 1 a.m.
The holiday season often stirs a sense of both gratefulness and generosity in communities across the country and Turlock is no exception. Year after year Turlock community members have donated time and efforts to provide for those less fortunate, and this year veteran and novel volunteers alike have abundant opportunities to give time and donations to various causes.
Turlock was abuzz with sweet and scary options for youth on Halloween, including a blood drive, trick-or-treating, and haunted houses. Students dressed in costumes ranging from charming to creepy at Pitman High School as they waited in line to donate blood at the Hispanic Youth Leadership Club's appropriately timed blood drive. Younger children found more playful fun at community sponsored events that ran from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
In the first ever Economic Trends Breakfast, the Turlock Chamber of Commerce joined together on Wednesday morning with business leaders and local officials to address the state of the regional economy and issues affecting local businesses.
A Turlock neighborhood was briefly evacuated Thursday night because of a gas leak.
The staff at Turlock Junior High School show their support for the Turlock Firefighters' pink t-shirt campaign to raise funds for Emanuel Cancer Center.
Name: Cher Morgan Timeless Beauty
The Stanislaus Economic Development and Workforce Alliance has named David L. White as the new CEO for the regional business development organization.
From Batman to Wonder Woman, each year children across the country don capes and masks to emulate their favorite superheroes on Halloween. This year children in the community won't have to limit their super powers to just one evening thanks to the MedicAlert Foundation in Turlock, which is hosting a Super Hero Kids Health and Safety Fair.
Some come for the fellowship. Others want to continue a long family tradition. A Pitman High School freshman was pulled into it by neighbors, and has stayed for the fun. No matter what the reason, every member of the Turlock Steppin Pards wants to share their passion for square dancing.
Food industry professionals have been faced with increased consumer concerns regarding the source and handling of food products in recent years. In particular, the poultry industry has been in the crosshairs of consumers who want comprehensive information on production details such as hens' home environment and diet. In an effort to create more transparent relationships with customers, local company, Gemperle Family Farms, has launched an informational and interactive website to educate consumers on eggs.
The Valley's most important regulation for wintertime air-pollution reduction begins its 11th season today.
The enactment of Proposition 2 earlier this year not only spurred the literal movement of chickens in enriched cages throughout the egg industry, but another movement entirely: owning backyard chickens.
More change is coming to the Turlock Certified Farmers' Market this season. Not only will the farmers' market move from Friday mornings to Saturday mornings this season, but it will also move location.
Vintage shops are far from rare in downtown Turlock and come April one more will be joining the scene: Farm House.
Since Caroline Monroe's two older sisters, Olivia Monroe and Meredith Monroe, were both named Distinguished Young Women in previous years, it only made sense that the youngest sister would follow in their footsteps.
Business owners often have to be discerning when choosing with whom they will do business and this method is true when working online as well.
For anyone unaware the federal government charges a penalty for not carrying health insurance, Emanuel Medical Center is offering a helping hand.
Bad news just keeps on coming for local growers, as the Turlock Irrigation District Board of Directors considers implementing an even lower than the historically-low 20 inch water allotment in 2014, once the postponed irrigation season finally starts.

The Sea Witch is a nationally recognized yacht from her annual travels along the American coastline between Cape Cod and the Caribbean. Based in Martha's Vineyard from mid-June to mid-September, The Sea Witch offers private 2, 4 and 8 hour, sunset, lunch or dinner cruises, weekend & week sailing charters. Daily charters are picked up in Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard.
Join us this summer and let us sail you away on a special customized weekend or weekly charter, with optional pick up in Falmouth Heights, Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard. Your sailing excursion could include Martha's Vineyard and its 5 beautiful ports, Nantucket, the Elizabeth Islands, Cutty Hunk & Hyannis/Chatham Cape Cod, depending on how much time you book aboard Sea Witch. Enjoy the picturesque views of the region's popular lighthouses, historical homes, wonderful beaches and the colorful clay cliffs. Explore quaint little towns, with a variety of unique gift shops, tasty restaurants and lively pubs!
In the winter months, we relocate to the Caribbean and offer private daily charters in St. Thomas or St. John, US Virgin Islands and weekly charters to US & the amazingly beautiful, more rustic British Virgin Islands (BVI's). We offer pick up in two locations: Red Hook Harbor, St Thomas or Tortola, British Virgin Islands. We recommend beginning your sailing adventure with the first stop in St. John to unwind from your flight. The next day we can sail to Tortola, British Virgin Islands to clear customs and begin our exploration of the many islands that make up the BVI's, including: Norman, Peter, Cooper Islands, Marina Cay, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke.
Experience the ultimate sailing adventure aboard the Sea Witch. Relax and experience the tranquil breezes that fill the sails as you glide through the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean, watching for whales, turtles or just the gorgeous views of these tropical hideaways. If you want a little more action, you can help us in hoisting the sails and navigating or just kick back, relax and soak in the Caribbean sun! Let us sail you to unique secluded destinations and romantic coves, with options for swimming, snorkeling, diving, fishing, kayaking or just basking in the sun during a glorious day.
Enjoy being pampered with gourmet meals with specialty drinks as well as our personal massage chair will help your back after a long day sailing!!

Captain John and Susan are wonderful but their passion and willingness to share the beauties of the Virgin Islands is the best part.
To see the islands aboard Sea Witch is beautiful and is the only way to do it. Sea Witch is a sailing charter and you will learn as you enjoy the adventure. The food was better than any restaurant and the accommodations were spacious and comfortable. First Class operation and adventure.
Communication was very important to insure that Sea Witch crew could understand your expectations and the more information you can share the better they can insure that you will be happy.
This is a sailing adventure and you are affected by weather but go with a free mind
Your safety is Captains John and Susan's first and foremost
Great little coves and islands and great food await your trip and you will enjoy especially if you are looking for a great way to see the islands
My wife and I enjoyed our trip so much and have many memories of beauty and laughter to last forever
We wanted a wonderful quite, fun, peaceful, scenic, slightly pampered get away week of sailing around the Virgin Islands. (We are seasoned travelers and wanted off the grid for a week- well not entirely- we did peak at iPhones a bit.) I had taken a similar sail in 2012 and really enjoyed the trip, so my expectations were high for Deborah and me. This was my 7th time to St John area. Cap'n John and Susan were most accomodating in every way. The boat is wonderful- very comfortable with plenty of privacy for the two of us. Sleeping with the hatch up and being awakened by gentle rain drops in the night was a special treat. Deborah and I even saw a shooting star at 2.00 am as we were sitting up top taking in the beautiful night sky. The boat was always tidy and well-maintained, but we felt right at home, not like stepping into a museum. We stayed in some incredible bays during the nights and experienced the fun of sailing in these waters. Cap'n John and Susan generously showed us some of the local venues for eating and socializing. Watching the super bowl on the beach with the friendly group was most memorable. Susan guided us on a few hikes and provided just the right of explanation of the history. They gave us the space we sought but also I felt like we were sailing with 2 new friends. Did I mention that the food was fabulous! I'm recommending the Sea Witch to my friends and next time (not soon enough) we go back to the Virgin Islands, for sure we are calling Cap'n John and Susan. I highly recommend the Sea Witch.
The Sea Witch is a nationally recognized yacht from her travels up and down the American coastline and from Cape Cod to the Caribbean. Sea Witch is based in Martha's Vineyard, MA in the summer until October and offers local hourly charters and weekend and week charters to Cape Cod, Nantucket, Block Island, and Cutty Hunk.
In the winter she relocates to the Caribbean (pick up in Red Hook Harbor, St Thomas VI or Tortola BVI) offering daily, weekend or week charters to the US and the British Virgin Islands.
Experience the ultimate sailing adventure aboard the Sea Witch. Relax and enjoy the tranquil breezes that fill the sails as you glide through the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean, watching for turtles or whales or just the gorgeous views of these tropical hideaways. If you would like a little more action be involved with hoisting the sails and navigation or just kick back and relax and soak in some Caribbean sun!! Let us sail you to unique secluded destinations and romantic coves with options for swimming, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, or just basking in the sun during a glorious day.
We recommend beginning your sailing adventure pick up in Red Hook Harbor St Thomas with the first stop in St John to unwind from your flight with a cold one! The next day after a gourmet breakfast and a snorkel tour we can sail to Tortola British Virgin Islands to clear customs and begin our explorations of the many rustic islands that make up the BVI's including Norman, Peter Island, Cooper Island, Salt & Ginger Islands, Virgin Gorda, Anegada & Jost Van Dyke..

Okay. So for painting. I've sanded everything with 2000 grit sandpaper.
Then I clean everything in the sink with soap and water.
I've placed everything in front of a space heater to evaporate.
Once dry, I will clean with acetone, let dry, then begin painting
Arbitrary enforcement of the law is the mark of tyranny. Citizens will always fight against it.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
First coat. Khaki. I taped the threads, and shoved paper towel into the barrel and gas tube to keep paint off. Light coats, no drips to worry about.
The dust cover, thread cover and safety lever are on their 3rd coats, started them last night.
Gave the rifle a good wipe down in denatured alcohol since I ran out of acetone.
The alcohol took a bunch of the original paint off, so I know it's working.
... I didn't prime. Well see how that works out. I forgot to get primer, and wallyworld is 40 miles from my house and I'm not going back...
Well, if the paint doesn't hold because if the lack if primer, I have an excuse to strip it and experiment with that snakeskin pattern I've been wanting to try....
Okay. Here's the dust cover.
1st coat of green
What I'm doing is using a torn up bath sponge from Walmart 1.99, then painting a blob onto a cardboard easel, then sponging up the paint and dabbing onto the khaki base.
Mosin, looks good! i was going to ask how you were getting that particular effect. the sponge asnwers that question. i am really liking how that looks and might have to try out this on one of mine. thanks for the updates.

Howley demands Wales smarten up their act
ESPN Staff
June 11, 2012
Caretaker coach Rob Howley believe his side need to play to the referee's strengths if they are to make a success of their current tour © Getty Images
Caretaker boss Rob Howley has demanded that his side are more "streetwise" when they attempt to get their tour back on track against the Brumbies on Tuesday night.
Howley watched an uncharacteristically error-prone Wales slip to a 17-19 defeat to Australia in their tour opener in Brisbane last Saturday and believes a similarly sloppy display could lead to another setback against their Super Rugby rivals in Canberra.
"We have to be more streetwise and adaptable. You have to play to the referee's strengths," said Howley. "We weren't streetwise enough in the contact area in the first Test and that is something we are looking at this week. The contact area is the most important area in the game because of turnovers at the tackle area.
"We weren't as efficient as we should have been in our support systems and we weren't as effective in removing the threats as we should have been. That's something we have to address."
The Brumbies have been a revelation in this year's battle for Super Rugby honours under the guidance of former Springboks coach Jake White and have twice beaten Wales. Howley is all too aware of the threat they pose having been on the wrong end of a 69-30 upset as Wales' scrum-half in their 1996 meeting.
"They had a pretty potent back line in 1996 and beat us with 60-odd points. This season they have been a surprise package in the Super 15," said Howley. "They kick a lot and go to the air a lot, so our back three will have to work hard. But this is an opportunity for these players to play in the national jersey and push their claims for Test places.
"On a lot of tours the midweek side becomes very important in terms of attitude and this group were out training a 9am the morning after the first Test. Some of the boys are backing up, but we are confident in our fitness and where we are with this team because they had a game against the Barbarians. Competition for places has been a big ingredient in our performances of late and we have a good blend of experience with youth in the side."
Melbourne Rebels skipper Gareth Delve will be among the replacements having replaced the injured Toby Faletau who is now heading home. However, Howley is confident that his other fitness doubts - wing George North (dead leg) and centre Scott Williams (facial injury) - will be fit for selection for the second Test in Melbourne.
"They are minor injuries. We are hoping George might train on Monday afternoon and Scott on Thursday after a rest day on Wednesday," said Howley.

DIGEST Protest that agency should have selected the protester. As the most highly qualified firm with which to negotiate an architect-engineer contract is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably evaluated the protester's and the awardee's qualifications consistent with the evaluation factors and applicable procurement rules. Protester was not the most highly qualified of the firms. Foundation argues that it was improper for the agency to credit GeoEnvironmental with the experience and qualifications of that firm's subcontractors and consultants. Broadly alleges that it should have been found technically superior to the awardee. This procurement of A-E services is being conducted pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Brooks Act.

Donald W. APPLEGATE
APPLEGATE Donald W. Donald W. Applegate, our beloved patriarch, Born Feb. 19, 1922, in Toledo Ohio, "walked to God" on Sunday evening, April 29, 2012. A caring father, stepfather, grandfather, and great-grandfather showed us all how to live gently, gracefully, with integrity, and keen humor. Donald was preceded in death by parents, father, H. Wallace Applegate; mother, Ruth Milmine Applegate; siblings and a nephew. He is survived by loving wife, Dorothy Dugan Applegate; son, John (Joyce) Applegate, Jackson, MS; daughters, Martha Applegate, Santa Fe, NM, Anne (Tim) O'Brien, Toledo, OH; stepchildren, Lonn (Deb) Dugan, Sylvania, OH, Cynthia Dugan, Toledo, OH, Sherrie (Robert) Larkin, Indianapolis, IN, Jeannie (Leonard) Sanders, Bangor, MI; niece, Molly (Van) Merkle Heiner; nephew, Christopher Merkle; 18 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. Donald graduated from Scott High School in 1940 and attended Miami University prior to being drafted by the US
as a private assigned to the 81st Infantry at Camp Rucker AL. He went on to Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, GA, graduating as Second Lieutenant assigned to Ft McCullen, AL as an instructor. In 1944 he was assigned to 75th Infantry, Camp Breckenridge, KY, as weapons platoon leader of Co K, 289th regiment. Combat training commenced in England (Wales). In the fall of 1944 Donald entered WWII by crossing the English Channel to Holland. He led a successful attack against Hitler (in the Battle of the Bulge). Battlefield promotions to the rank of Captain and then Company Commander followed. Shrapnel wounds led to a brief stay in a Paris Hospital before returning to his unit. Following the war, Don stayed on to manage the liberation of several concentration camps. Decorations include the Silver Star, Distinguished Service Cross,
Bronze Star
, and
Purple Heart
. After WWII, Donald completed college at the American Institute of Foreign Trade at the National University of Mexico. He studied International Relations and Foreign Trade, earning a Master's degree in business. A banking career followed in International Business with National City Bank of N.Y. He worked and lived 3 years in Santiago, Chile with first wife, Barbara (Fredericks) Applegate (deceased). Donald returned to the United States in 1954, and founded Lucas Products Corporation when he purchased a struggling small business in Toledo in 1956. Donald served as entrepreneur and president until he retired in 1990. The company became a successful manufacturing business with a global market serving several industries. In 1960 Donald became chairman of Citizens for John F. Kennedy, where he met Adelaide Stevenson and received a personal invitation to attend the Kennedy Inauguration in 1961. He remained devoted to civic responsibility and politics throughout his life. In 1980 he married Dorothy (Robinson) Dugan, becoming Stepfather to Dorothy's four children. The couple were married for 32 years, sharing a love of art, music, and bird-watching, even traveling the world to pursue rare sightings. Donald was also an avid reader and champion of environment issues, supporting of the Sierra Club and the Nature Conservancy. He belonged to Toledo Naturalists Association for many years and served as Treasurer. Other memberships and groups supported included The Ohio Historical Society, The American Legion, and The Toledo Club (Book Club, Wednesday Nooners). In the last decade, Donald travelled to revisit WWII Battlefields. Later, his war experiences were catalogued in his own voice in the Library of Congress. His story is included in the publication, "What a Time it Was" (Fisher, 2011). A Toledo Blade article, "Veteran's Day: Aging veterans retell tales of WWII courage," (11/11/2010) featured quotations and a photo. In early 2011 he was honored by U.S. President, Barack Obama and Ohio Congresswoman, Marcy Kaptur for his distinguished service. Donald spent his last days at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, surrounded by family and friends. As visitors shared fond memories, it became more apparent how broadly he was loved, admired, and respected. Visitation will be Friday, May 11, 2012, from 6-8 p.m. at Sylvania United Church of Christ where Donald was a member for more than 30 years. On Saturday, May 12, 2012, a Memorial Service will be held from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. at the church. A light lunch will be served from 12-1 p.m. before a funeral procession commences to the Historic Woodlawn Cemetery, 1502 West Central Ave. Toledo, OH 43606 for the interment with military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to Hospice of Northwest Ohio 30000 E. River Rd Perrysburg, OH 43551, Sylvania United Church of Christ 7240 Erie St. Sylvania, OH 43560, or Toledo Naturalist Association 19800 Sugar Creek Rd. Bowling Green, OH 43402. Arrangements made by Walker Funeral Home 419-841-2422. Condolences may be sent to the family at

Yeah, sure the energy transfer efficiency is 100% for every photon that participates in the reaction. But of all the photons falling on the leaf, hardly 2% of them participate in reactions. Some gets reflected, some gets absorbed without any reaction. Even solar cells have better energy conversion efficiency than plants. Really. As for quantum effects, almost all the photo reactions are quantum mechanics. They have to be. The film camera emulsion has greater percentage of photons participating in reaction than chlorophyll.
Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Laser cellulite treatment has proved to be a very effective way to reduce cellulite. It is a safe treatment for cellulite reduction and long lasting results are offered. It is a good way to eliminate the depressing deposits of "cottage cheese." Though there are various treatment options for dealing with Cellulite, Cellulaze has proven to be the best of all. This treatment has been introduced by Cynosure and has received approval from the FDA. There are many benefits that are associated with Cellulaze cellulite treatment.
Here is how the procedure is carried out.
The best results can be enjoyed by women who are not very overweight and have a moderate growth of cellulite.
In conclusion, we can say that Cellulaze treatment is definitely worth the money. However, a qualified plastic surgeon should be chosen for performing this procedure. He must have adequate experience in providing this procedure and must be able to answer all the concerns of the patients.

No real contraindication, but generally there are newer meds that are better. It depends on what it is taken for. It is an old, old antidepressant, it is used for sleep, for chronic pain, and rarely for depression. It does have a lot of side effects. One big issue is that it has some anticholinergic activity as a side effect. This may tend to cause more cognitive slowing in someone with dementia, so it might not be the best med. It can also cause constipation and urinary retention. Not so much of a problem in younger people, but it may be a problem in elderly whom are more sensative to meds.
Some elderly people have been on this med usually low dose for many years, for one reason or another. Sometimes it is hard to get off the med, it is not addicting, but people can get a lot or rebound effects after years of use, like insomnia if the med is abruptly stopped.
Amitriptyline appears it "may" be the best possible choice, for some. I agree variable reactions to the drug, and some of its specific side effects, might prove it is not a good choice for others, and you should discuss the risks carefully with your doctor.
However, the ability of Amitriptyline to function as both an antidepressant and a sleep aid becomes very useful when the disease has progressed to the stage that makes uninterrupted sleep difficult. Then, given it is useful in addressing mutiple problems, the fact it is an "old" drug is, for some, among its most useful features, given that means it is available from WalMart as a prescription that costs only $4 to fill.
The unique fact that, alone among the antidepressants, the molecule also functions as a direct mimic of Nerve Growth Factor, also suggests it may provide a direct benefit in combatting the course of progression of the disease, through a neuroprotective effect that may help limit neuron cell death.
See, for instance, the Wikipedia entry for the drug:
"Recently, amitriptyline has been demonstrated to act as an agonist of the TrkA and TrkB receptors. It promotes the heterodimerization of these proteins in the absence of NGF and has potent neurotrophic activity both in-vivo and in-vitro in mouse models."[19]

Sadly if you actually USE your connection almost all the time for streaming you will eat through the allotted bandwidth caps very quickly.
]Seems like that's the case...I've been talking with a Cox business rep about a home office (business) plan without caps, but the standard terms are downright abusive for a home user wanting to convert. I'm going to just continue with this account until cox eventually decides to put hard caps in place (seems inevitable at some point, unless the whole industry grows up)
I'm in the same boat and couldn't agree more. The terms and pricing are outrageous for what ends up being identical service.

Healthcare SaaS application developer PointClickCare has had to manage high growth while maintaining even higher quality of services delivery demands amid constant up-time requirements.
Whether it's monitoring medication management in a closed-loop integration with pharmacies, or managing weekly release schedules for their software, the change is constant at PointClickCare, based in Toronto.
To help maintain control and remain ever-ready for improvements, PointClickCare recently adopted a cloud-based IT service management (ITSM) solution. To learn the benefits and lessons learned in moving from an older approach, BriefingsDirect had an opportunity to sit down with Craig Schultz, Director of Hosting Operations at PointClickCare.
The discussion, conducted at the recent HP Discover 2013 Conference in Barcelona, is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: We know that healthcare is a very dynamic environment, and there is a lot going on in moving organizations to electronic health records (EHRs). How is this affecting your business?
Schultz: We're very busy, adding customers all of the time, trying to keep up with the demand for data, installing new customers, training customers, deploying new platforms on our end, infrastructure changes, and of course, rolling out Service Anywhere.
Gardner: And because your application is delivered through multi-tenancy, software as a service (SaaS) and cloud to all these healthcare organizations, software is more than a core competency. It practically defines your business.
Schultz: Exactly. As a SaaS provider, we need to always be up. Up-time is our biggest focus. The other part is release management. How do we keep updating our software, staying competitive, being agile along with our developers, and constantly improving ourselves?
Gardner: And you're no johnny-come-lately to the cloud. You've been doing SaaS for quite some time.
Schultz: Yes, for approximately 10 years. We were one of the original ones to kick it off in our market. From that, we've grown it, and now it's scalable. We're in multiple countries, and we're looking at how to continue to grow and keep the SaaS model and multi-tenancy as efficient as possible.
Mobile revolution
Gardner: Craig, how about the mobile revolution? How is that impacting your business? Does it matter whether they're using a tablet to access your services, other devices, or PCs? How is the device end of things affecting you?
Schultz: Good question. We're fully cross-browser. From a platform standpoint, it doesn't matter. We're actually releasing our Point of Care and related software on the Apple iPad and iPhone. We're looking at it as if they have a dedicated tablet that they could use in their environment or they have one of the PCs or related items.
Gardner: I have to assume, Craig, that this is a mission-critical application for these healthcare organizations. They're administrating medications, tracking billing, tracking what takes place through a process along a medical trajectory, all very much in real time, very mission-critical.
Schultz: Absolutely. This is a 24×7 service that's used all the time. As you say, with medication management we do a closed loop with the pharmacies for ordering. Obviously, safety is the biggest priority for our customers and for us. So on the SaaS service, we need to make sure that all the tools are current. We have our monitoring and our stats. Then, obviously, if there are any issues, incident management is one of the key areas.
Gardner: Tell me how you do operations and development. I believe that with software being so critical, when you do fast iterations for a multi-tenancy environment, DevOps is a priority, but with development and operations, there's no daylight between them.
We make sure that that's a defined process, scripted, and then tied into our tools.
Schultz: Exactly. Our development team runs by agile, as a lot of places do. At PointClickCare, we're looking at a weekly release schedules in general. That means constant change and constant releases. DevOps is a priority. We need to make sure that the QA people have their servers. Then, it goes to production, and there aren't any problems when we release it. We make sure that that's a defined process, scripted, and then tied into our tools.
Gardner: Given that you're the Director of Hosting Operations, what do you need in terms of other outside help to get this done? What were the challenges and requirements you had and then how did you fulfill them?
Schultz: What we wanted to solve at this point was to improve our processes, our definitions, and our policies on how we deploy our software and make sure that they're set on standards. We were looking at an ITSM tool that would bring that framework to us to help us mature and take us to that next level, as we look at how much change and growth we're going through.
Gardner: How long have you been using HP Service Anywhere?
Schultz: We have been using Service Anywhere for three months. At this time, we've rolled it out into the whole hosting operations team. We use it for tracking all of our change management, incident management, problem management, then related key performance indicators (KPIs).
Gardner: How did you do it before?
Case system
Schultz: We used a CASE system. It wasn't defined as a ticketing system, and it was very hard to track information. What made it harder was the lack of searchability within there to find that information. How do you do reporting? How do you really look at the statistics? So we launched this new tool, and that's taking care of all that.
Gardner: This sounds a bit like changing the wings on an airplane while still flying. Did you find the transition difficult? What was most difficult about it?
Schultz: The transition was made simpler by engaging HP Technology Services. We used them extensively for our training. We did the ITIL training ahead of time with our staff. We used HP services to come in and walk us through this. They're the experts on the tool.
Probably the biggest difficulty was, as you say, getting the resources to the people that were dedicated to this project while running full speed ahead. There was no delay.
Gardner: I know it's a little early in the roll out, but have there been any indicators of how it's functioning and any metrics of success or return-on-investment (ROI) types of inputs?
Schultz: Our biggest results right now is that 100 percent of changes are tracked in the system. They're following our change-management process. We can go through, review them, monitor them, look at the results of the changes, and actually get end-to-end process development.
We actually have that closed loop on change and incident management. We're now tracking all incidents that we weren't before. Because of the system, you can look for them after. So you can build any trajectory or problem management. When you look at the suite of change incidents and problems, we have that full loop in our operations.
The transition was made simpler by engaging HP services. We used them extensively for our training.
From a measurement standpoint, that has reduced the amount of time that it takes for us to actually implement a change. If we're asked to create a database, create new customers, whatever it might be, we can turn that around a lot faster because there aren't delays in the system.
Gardner: Any thoughts, once you get further into HP Service Anywhere, as to what you'll be integrating this into other activities, further back into the development phase, perhaps associated with code management? Where do you go next?
Schultz: Where we go next is around the new versions and new software. As we bring on the new versions of the software and Service Anywhere, we're going to implement the new tools. So when we look at the self-service portal, how do we roll that out to the users to be able to connect, create their own requests or, even better, solve their own problems. That will reduce a lot of the load runner IT team and lot of those tickets that we are getting from that.
Looking at some of the integration points, that's going to be how we automate our changes, our software, and our incidents in the future. That's going to all tie in the Service Anywhere. As well, we're looking at rolling it out across the company. That way, everybody uses a centralized tool. It has all the functionality that you need. Develop the KPIs, and run by the numbers and metrics.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Wonderful location. Coffee, tea and fruit available in the breakfast room all day long. I stayed for two nights and had a little work to do in my room. The table was fine for working, but without any all-over light in the room, only two spots above the table, I felt the lighting was insufficient. After my first night, I went out for some hours in the morning. Yet they only came at 2.30 p.m. to clean up the room. By then I was working, and I prefered not to be disturbed. Taking into consideration it's on such a central location it was fine regarding noise. In daytime some cars runs the street, but with a room on the 1st floor and on the streed-side, I slept without any problems.

Marc Wolfson was right in the thick of the panic on Sept. 11, 2001. At the time, he was a public affairs officer at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and his office at FEMA headquarters was across the Potomac from the smoldering Pentagon.
After the Pentagon had been hit, "I got up and looked out the window," he said. "I'd been at FEMA for a number of years, so I'd been through a number of disasters, including the Oklahoma City bombing. I looked out the window, and parked right across from FEMA headquarters with its blinkers on was a Ryder rental truck. It didn't turn out to be anything, but in the moment, it was a flashback to Oklahoma City."
Like everyone else in the D.C. area, Wolfson had awakened that morning to a beautiful, clear late-summer day. He first learned of the attacks when a colleague came into his office after the first plane hit the World Trade Center. Wolfson began watching the news coverage and saw the second plane hit.
"It was after the second plane hit the tower that things kicked into gear," he said. "As we started getting information in through the operations center, I started posting some basic updates to the FEMA website. You could just feel the tension in the room. It was a continual ramping up through the morning."
Wolfson had members of his team sit in on the operations center's meetings, which took place frequently throughout the day. After scrubbing sensitive information, Wolfson or one of his staff members posted the latest updates to the Web.
"I left the office about 8:00 that night," he said. "By that time, we had instituted a 24-hour schedule. We had some people who had gone home earlier in the day who came back in. We operated that way for at least three or four days. It may have been longer than that."
It was only after he emerged from the office and the hectic pace of the day that the enormity of the events started to become clear.
"When I left to go home, Washington was a ghost town," he said. "It was very eerie. It might as well have been the middle of the night. I got on the Metro, and there was nobody in the car. It was a very lonely ride."
The FEMA website got 2.3 million hits on Sept. 11 and 3.4 million on Sept. 12, he said. A typical day sees fewer than 1 million hits, but the site performed well under the increased demand, he added.
"FEMA was born after the Cold War," he said. "There was this mentality of having a robust network, having redundancy in communications. We were one of the first agencies to put up a website, to start using e-mail."
The attacks and their aftermath took a toll on Wolfson, however. He left FEMA in 2002 to take a position at the Health and Human Services Department and is now public affairs director at HHS' Office of Inspector General.
"I had been with FEMA through the '90s and worked through literally hundreds of disasters," he said. "I reached a point where I felt like I needed a change. I'd never been in a job as long as I'd been at FEMA."
He added that he appreciates the more predictable pace of his current job.
"I'm not on call on the weekends," he said. "When we're going to issue a report, I have plenty of lead time. There are no unknowns. I lived with unknowns for so many years [that] it's nice to have a position where everything is clear."
