MCI introduces its Managed Services
INDUSTRY| Aug. 18, 2012, 10:23 a.m.
MCI Consultants has announced its Managed Services capabilities that have emanated from its Networking and Communications department.
Managed services enables IT automation and facilitates a pro-active approach to improved operations and customer satisfaction. These services utilise technology that is lightweight and very efficient, resulting in an excellent value proposition for customers. Managed Services enables IT professionals to offer extended service capabilities with better service delivery.
The managed services provide capabilities that impact many aspects of an IT operation. These include the areas of:
- Audit and inventory, where for instance, any hardware, software or system changes are logged;
- Software deployment and updating, where for example, software is automatically updated as new versions are introduced and approved;
- Patch management, where networks are scanned for installed and missing security patches that ensures that all systems are protected including remote users on laptops and workstations;
- Agent procedures, where a pro-active service delivery capability is created that would result in increased productivity, consistent service levels, better utilisation of staff, expanded service capabilities and cost reductions;
- Monitoring, where proactive monitoring of servers, workstations, remote computers and the Windows Event log is undertaken;
- Help desk ticketing, where a comprehensive and integrated help desk and ticketing system, which helps easily track and resolve issues quickly is established; and,
- Reporting, where complete and integrated management reports can be scheduled for automatic distribution
"There are some significant benefits to be gained from exploiting managed services," commented Aliki Droussiotis, Director MCI Consultants. "For instance, they reduce IT costs; they minimise downtime; the remote support provided improves the response times to issues that may arise; and, no staff training is necessary."
"We are continually reviewing and extending all the products and services that we provide from MCI Consultants," concluded Droussiotis. "As part of these on-going activities we evaluate feedback from our client base, and when appropriate, try to incorporate these suggestions into our product and services portfolios."

New ONC Grant Funding Opportunities Help Advance Health IT in Communities and Workforce Training
ONC has released a funding opportunity announcement designed to strengthen the health IT workforce and build on work done by the 17 Beacon Communities to innovate health care delivery with the goal of building a learning health system, as outlined in the recently posted Shared Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap. These initiatives are part of the Department of Health and Human Services' efforts to achieve better care, smarter savings and healthier people.
HHS and ONC invest $28 Million in Health Information Exchange Grants
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell announced this morning an important Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) funding opportunity, which is part of a Department-wide effort to achieve the safe and secure exchange and use of electronic health information to improve health and transform care as outlined in the Shared Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap, Connecting Health and Care for the Nation: A Shared Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap Version 1.0.
Interoperability to help achieve better care, smarter spending, and healthier people
Today, we issued Connecting Health and Care for the Nation: A Shared Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap Version 1.0 ("Roadmap"). This Roadmap reflects nearly a year of collaborative effort with extensive input from the public and private sectors and is a call to action to see that we can unlock digital health information and see that it can be appropriately used when and where it matters most, to who matters most – the people of this nation. We articulate a vision and path forward that will require shared action between the public and private sector to create a health ecosystem that delivers better care, spends health care dollars more wisely, and results in healthier people.
The Digital Consumer: How Patient Generated Health Data and Health IT Can Help Improve Care
Data rests at the heart of health IT's capacity to help improve care quality and health outcomes: standards-based, interoperable electronic systems make it possible to access, share, use and re-use information that was once locked in paper charts kept by individual providers. As more and more consumers engage and adopt mobile health technologies to help them better track their daily health and wellbeing, it will be increasingly important to consider how those data can flow seamlessly from consumers to providers – and back – to help everyone achieve better health.
The Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances is on the rise
Over the past couple of years, EPCS – the electronic prescribing of controlled substances – has increased dramatically. This has potential benefits for both patients and health care system costs.

Bite my shiny metal ass - Bender Bending Rodríguez
I like MS and I like my WinPho but I just don't get the point of these digital assistants.
The voice recognition is ok 60% of the time which is impressive enough if you any sort of accent but it's still not much slower to make an appointment with your finger. Plus if Cortana makes a mistake it's almost certainly slower.
It doesn't integrate well with the Bluetooth in my car. Phone functions are fine and although Cortana can talk through the bluetooth system it can't listen. So if I get a text I have to yell like a madman to get it to read the text since my jacket is in the back seat. Replying is a non-starter.
The easter eggs are interesting for the first 10min
Fingers crossed for the Comeback-kid.
But an epic mission even if it doesn't.
Took the words out my mouth. Google's updates have slowly (well not so slowly with 5.0) turned a very good tablet into a PoS.
If Google can't get an update to work on their own hardware what will it do to other manufacturers.
GDS! Wearers of sharp suits and sharper haircuts, worshippers of yoof and yes men.
Denizens of planet Google.
Dismissers of security concerns and passers of bucks.
They came, they saw, they stated and bereft of irony they believed they conquered.
Oh GDS, hubris is thy name!
MS already sell "Signature Edition" hardware which is marketed as "Bloat free"
Some interesting things - the blue dot arrow thingy could address one of my big annoyances with text editing on touch devices.
Winph8 is a far better OS than desktop 8.1 which is a mess on top of good foundations. I think I'd need a spare phone to try this on before committing my main device to it.
I'd be quite annoyed if MS's drive for universal apps made for universally crap apps. Universal apps will need to be flexible so they have a best fit for whatever device they are on. It'll be no use if they come to the phone with desktop input style. That's just back to what makes the W8 interface crappy.
I wonder if they'd ever consider long life orbiters for planets? Some big relay sats that could last for 50yr or more so they don't need to put powerful transmitters on little probes all the time. Seems to work well on Mars.
I wonder if that's the road BB has now gone with the Passport - "F**k form, just make it function"?
I know quite a few people with them now that say it's ugly as sin but incredibly useful. And useful is more important.
I'm sure there is a decent market where people buy things because they are well made and work efficiently. Not because it's 0.2mm thinner than it's rival or 4g lighter or available in "sunset pink" or sponsored by feckin Bono.
I like my Lumia. I also like my hammer and my pliers when they are required.
I'll get concerned if MS get me to have romantic attachments to my phone or any other inanimate object. Make your phone indispensable, that'll do.
Executives don't half talk some shite.
We'll my Lumia 920 has been without issue on the developer preview for over a year but my Nexus 7 has been progressively bricked by Google's updates.
I don't think any company is innocent of this sort of poor practice.
Lol yeah I'm going to air my dirty laundry on a service owned by a data mining giant that makes it's living through advertising and selling data.
Being able to have frank discussions about security and incidents with peers can be invaluable but it goes without saying you need to trust everyone there and respect the Chatham House rule.
Is FB going to do that?
The Data Protection Act makes using cloud based thingies like Chromebooks that bit trickier than sticking with windows.
I also flew in Chipmonks and winch launched gliders as a Cadet in the early 90s. Lots of fun. We all loved the gliders the best but it would be rather nice to fly in a Tiger Moth.
I've checked and even the cat refuses to comment
Same here. Execs have tried iPads and finally admitted that they were a solution looking for a problem. Switched to Dell Venue 11s provided a dock and the battery pack keyboard. They now get a reasonable desktop performance with the option of a SFF laptop with 17hr battery life or a tablet with 8hrs.
Very few complaints and no demands to go back to iPads.
Upload all your stuff to Dropbox or the Google Cloud? That'll be GDS then.
It's ok though everything is OFFICIAL
US only apparently, won't work with a UK Amazon account. I'm sure there are probably bodges around it but I'm not overly happy with the performance from the 2012 Nexus any more. Droid 5.02 is better than 5.0 but still pretty sluggish compared to 4.4 and that's after dumping the cache.
Tried a cheap HP Stream 7 direct from MS. It's going back. Ok for some things but the quality of it was just a bit poor where it mattered to me. Unshielded headphone socket full of static, poor screen with bleeding light from the edges and not enough grunt to stream video although strangely the processor wasn't stressed, not sure where the bottleneck was. Also Win8.1 is far poorer on a tablet than a phone. I like it on my Lumia but it was a schizophrenic mess on the tablet. A fast mess but a mess none the less.
Pluses were that it booted in about 10sec Vs my 2012 Nexus 7 that now takes about 5min thanks to Google's 'updates'. The OS was snappy and never lagged. Full Windows meant that Amazon's stubbornness to release a UK Prime app didn't matter although the tablet couldn't handle Silverlight playback even at low quality.
Surface3 getting a lot of interest from exec types. I guess the novelty factor for ipads has worn off and the need something new to wave around.
Got a cheap Win8.1 tab the other day, having defended Win8 a few times over the years I've now had to use it in anger and although it is very snappy on low power equipment the user experience is a f**king dogs dinner and that's from someone that really quite likes WinPho8.1
They'll have panicked at the though of proper pen testing actually costing money and or the worrying prospect it might find something which would then need to be fixed.
Far better to get the developer to run an out of date, unlicensed copy of Nessus at it for 10min.
Small organisation therefore - If it plugs in and doesn't make food it's an IT thing.
Yup my job too, but I'm the security guy and don't even work in IT yet the MCSE qualified employees still look to me when they can't figure out why something isn't working.
All I do is Google the problem yet that seems beyond them.
You need to keep buying. But looking on Ebay you can pick up an annual O365 code for £10 or less.
These little tablets are quite zippy but I'm not sure how they would do for any serious multitasking. You can pick up an outlet Dell Venue 11 tablet with an i5 intel processor and 4Gb Ram for £300 or a bit less for an i3. You're into genuine laptop rivals there and they should be able to handle just about anything short of gaming.
They have bit of a bad rep if you look up the reviews but a BIOS update deals with most of those issues. We have a large number of these at work and they work well and are popular with the users. Probably double the weight of the Linx tablet if that's an issue.
I know a few people with these now, mainly the 10" version. For the most part they are happy with the devices using them as low powered laptops. The OS install and only 32Gb of on board storage doesn't give much remaining space so an SDCard is really a necessity.
Most people comment that the screen isn't glorious and the build quality isn't wonderful and the location of the physical buttons is a bit odd but overall more than decent for the price point.
Linx have a cash back offer of £30 on the 7/8 and £50 on the 10". It's not straightforward and depends on you buying from the right shop and trading in a decent 7" tablet. they won't accept any junk Ebay tablet. So it's debatable whether you would want to give up a decent tablet for £50.
Staples also did these at a give away price before Xmas. I missed out on a £89 10" which would have been a bargain.
Like all platforms it works best when you stay within the ecosystem. So Outlook works well with Outlook.com, One drive works well with Windows. When you cross ecosystems that's when things tend to get tricky but I guess they are all built to do that.
The versions of windows that people get as close to loving as I think is going to happen were the OSs that just worked, quietly got on with their job and let people do things on the computer that they wanted. I'm thinking Win 2000, XP and 7.
If they get back to that then Win10 will be popular.
Win8 wasn't bad, it was just touch focussed and therefore shit without touch. It was fast and secure, it they'd sorted the interface it would have done fine.
Yes. The only things that really keep me using FF are no-script and ad-block (and laziness). If I found another browser with those features I'd switch.
IE is too open, and Chrome, well "all your base are..." etc
Fixed some things borked video playback on some sites
Hear Hear!
and a posthumous pint to the Prof.
It would be wonderful if one of the orbiters could send a signal to give the thing a nudge or get some data from a low gain antenna (or summit like that) but that's more Hollywood than science probably.
Shiny thing make it all better - unless it's Dave Cameron's face.
But he's not the only one, I was a Information Security conference where a Scottish politician said within her keynote "Security, well it just gets in the way doesn't it?".
The PITA with Amazon is they they don't offer their service on any other mobile platform other than their own Kindles. Cheap full Windows tablets will help there or you have to jump ship to Netflix. I still like getting physical disks through the Lovefim part of Amazon so I've stuck with them so far. The lack of Android and other support is grating though.
You can get a 7" tablet with full windows 8.1 Bing for £59 here now. And that includes a £60 Office 365 licence and 20% vat. Unsurprisingly they're selling rather quickly.
I wonder if Ms will continue to give away cheap windows to get their OS adopted again?
Last update certainly screwed Silverlight DRM. Amazon streaming offline unless you roll back.
1st line support here is basically filled with non-techies now so there is no triage of the stupid calls no ability to fix silly little thing and no ability to translate the problem into something meaningful for the workers with knowledge.
That seems to be the trend now since no-one is ever laid off they just go on redeployment and end up on the helldesk.
Desktop techies aren't much better tbh. "Check it works before you leave" seems to be a bit of an alien concept
I have a mate that used to do IT on superyachts. He had many similar stories.
I used to be the "IT guy" in a school where basically if it plugs in the wall and doesn't make food it's a computer problem.
I've had teacher yelling at me down the phone to make their printer work because it was
"urgent" (everything with teachers is urgent) and unacceptable that it wasn't working - printer was out of paper.
Internet access had been off all day - she'd unplugged the modem to plug in a phone (it was a while ago) and forgot to switch them back.
Recording "PC" wouldn't start up for an experiment - It was a 25yr old BBC Micro that had finally died.
I'm sure there were many others but it becomes the norm after a while and your brain screens it out as noise.
That's the story with most warmed over 'ordinary' cars. They're big and heavy so despite the big hp figures there really isn't much nimbleness or urge about them. They make 100mph feel like 50.
Sticking on fat low profiles and rock hard suspension might make the car look nice but it can make them a miserable place to be on the crap roads we have now.
The ads make out you'll be driving a Caterham when the reality is closer to a Iveco.
But then most drivers only like the fantasy of driving properly, they don't really want a car that might bite them if they get it wrong.
It's Ugg's shopping list as dictated by Mrs Ugg, "get more mussels, a pointy stick, fire and chocolate"
When I was at uni there were many urban legends of cadavers being taken on pub crawls by medical students. More realistically were the stores of minor body parts like toes being dropped into people pints and fat being picked out the bodies and flicked at each other in dissection labs.
Because Baroness Whats-her-pus and any other involved minister are determined that THEIR project will be finished so they don't get hung out to dry with another incomplete project story in the press.
you can add the same mentality to numerous other projects that make little sense but have a minister driving them forward whatever the cost or objection, G-Cloud, HS2, Millennium Dome, education changes, NHS IT,....
Same things happen in the US and probably every other country
I don't need a £200 meter to tell me to try to use less energy. The massive bill every quarter (or month) tells me that.
MS is starting to get some significant interest in the cheap tablet market too. Lots of cheap devices coming out with the free Win8.1 OS on them and in general they seem to be better received than cheap android tablets.
Windows phones also getting looked at seriously within the public sector because they can be tied into and managed by existing infrastructure.
MS also starting to flex some muscles on the privacy field with the challenged to the US courts over access to overseas data. No one trusts Google any more and no one ever trusted Apple MS seeing an opening there by playing nice.
I can't imaging MS ever challenging Apple for the £$£ high end shiny phone market but I think they're going to do ok from businesses, government and people that like things that just work.
People that work are also looking at Blackberry again as well.
It's not for me but as a person that likes watches IMHO the Pebble is one of the better looking devices as well especially in the steel model.
Now if they could hook up a microgenerator from a spinning weight a bit like a mechanical automatic then they might be onto something.
I has originally thought that this would be much like the original Kindles - decent hardware discounted because it's effectively an extension of the Amazon store.
But it's not. Why would I want to pay through the nose to be effectively locked into the Amazon ecosystem?
+1 on this story.
Buggy, slow random crashes. Oddly able to jump through the login sometimes without entering the code. Firefox pretty fvcked up.
Battery taking ages to charge. Bring back 4.2
I dunno but it's not not unlikely. Nice ASCII btw.
There was also some little cold gas thruster to try to keep it on the rock but it was known to have failed before it even detached. Then unfortunately the harpoons failed too. the gravity is so weak that it bounced about 1km up and it took a couple of hours to come back down again and in that time the comet turned about 1km under it.
Interesting that they are now in the almost 'F**k and try" stage where anything goes as long as there is power left. Plus there is an outside bet it could wake up in the future as it gets closer to the sun.
A shame it didn't work perfectly but an awesome bit of work none the less.
I wonder if it will be a new playbook?
I know a few proper security people and they still use a BB phone a playbook combo.
Well it sounds like they'll be able to do some work then take a chance either on drilling, harpooning, harpooning and drilling or bouncing.
Still it's on a fricking comet. Pints have been earned.
Blackberry's niche was hardcore government and big business security. BB products had (have?) security baked in from the hardware up and they were receptive to the suggestions of Government agencies such as GCHQ and NIST.
For that reason for a long time Blackberry products were the only ones signed off for use within high assurance organisations.
But BB sat on it's hands for so long that Government users began to hate their BB and crave the fondling delights of iOS. BB then decided to make a jump for the wider public and try to sell to the yoof market that worked for while until they got bored of the BB offerings too. So they ended up pissing off their old market and losing their grasp on the new.
Meanwhile other companies started to sniff the pork from Government and began to make their products more enterprise orientated except Apple who allegedly told the security services to take a hike 'coz we're Apple'.
It seems now that BB has realised that they've made an arse of their dalliance into the feral over supplied public mobile market and they're starting to court their old customers again.
I suspect if they can get it right then they may pick up some of their old customers that still like physical keyboards and proper security. However new boys like Samsung are getting signed off for high assurance work as well so the future is less than certain. Plus executives are as prone to the whims of fashion as anyone else, BB ain't fashionable so the Passport better be a phenomenally useful tool or it'll just get ignored.
Myself a few years ago I'd have bet a small amount on MS buying up BB's security patents when they went bust. I still think that might happen yet. If the Chinese buy BB expect the Government accreditation to be dropped like a red hot turd.

Visiting professorships take on new uses in changing markettags: historical profession, Chronicle of Higher Ed., visiting professorships, academia
Stan Nadel sat with fellow historians around a lunch table as they introduced themselves one by one. His peers were greeted with warm nods and smiles, but when he stated his name, Mr. Nadel was met with surprise. The man across from him clapped his hand over his mouth.
"What the hell?" Mr. Nadel says he thought, recalling that moment. It was 1997, and he was attending a history conference in Oklahoma.
The lunch mate had graduated from a Ph.D. program at the University of Hawaii, a place Mr. Nadel had never visited. Perhaps the young man was familiar with Mr. Nadel's publications, he thought. Maybe he was a former colleague or a student.
It turned out, Mr. Nadel said, that the man had no connection to him at all. The stranger had recently accepted a one-year teaching appointment off the tenure track, which had prompted a colleague to warn him of Mr. Nadel's experience....

Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the landmark Supreme Court case that declared Virginia's law against interracial marriage unconstitutional.
Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving had to leave their home state to marry. They exchanged vows in Washington, D.C., in June 1958, where there was no prohibition against interracial marriage. Shortly after returning to Virginia, the couple was arrested in their home and charged with "unlawful cohabitation."
The court suspended sentence on the condition that the two leave the state and not return together for 25 years. In 1963, the Lovings filed a motion to vacate the judgment and set aside the sentence. Almost a year later, the court still hadn't ruled on the motion, and the couple filed a class action suit in federal court. The case eventually made its way to Virginia's highest court, which upheld the state's law against miscegenation and affirmed the convictions.
On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute unconstitutional. As marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman, there was no "legitimate overriding purpose" to outlaw marriage between a white man and a black woman other than blatant racial discrimination. Racial classifications are suspect. For courts to uphold such classifications, states must demonstrate a "permissible state objective, independent of the racial discrimination which it was the object of the Fourteenth Amendment to eliminate."
The court also found that Virginia's anti-miscegenation law violated the Due Process Clause: "To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes…is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law."
Ironically, Democrats created laws prohibiting interracial marriage. After the Civil War, states enacted laws called Black Codes in response to the emancipation of slaves, which restricted the rights of newly freed slaves to own or rent farmland, vote, sit on juries, testify against white men, sue, enter into contracts, and intermarry with whites. Republicans opposed the laws and wanted to pass the Civil Rights Bill, but Democratic president Andrew Johnson refused. The rest is well documented history.
Homosexuals have cited Loving v. Virginia and the modern civil rights movement to argue for marriage between two men. Aside from the moral outrage this should generate in the black community but doesn't, marriage between a man and woman of different races and marriage between people of the same sex aren't comparable at all.

Wireless autopilot controls: Madman for Raymarine, Si-Tex SRS-100 for any brand?
Posted by Panbo // March 25, 2015 // COMMENT (1 Comment)
Written by Ben Ellison on Mar 25, 2015 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
Some people think it's crazy to run an autopilot with a smartphone, so maybe it's fitting that a company called Madman Marine is the first to make this possible with Raymarine pilots. But then again Madman's AP-WRC3iF comes with two fobs that run on a separate wireless frequency and that can also make course changes, initiate autotacks and change pilot modes. And it only costs about $235 U.S. plus shipping from Australia (with the fob-only model at about $190)…
What Madman has done is to figure out the autopilot commands in regular SeaTalk so that the installation only requires 12v power and a three wire ST connection to a (hopefully) spare ST terminal block on an older Ray course computer like the STx000 or SPX series.…Read More

Councillors not doing much, say industrialists
Peenya Industrial Estate, touted as being the largest in south Asia, is a picture of neglect with bad roads, heaps of garbage, poor underground drainage system, a polluted lake and groundwater, besides being poorly lit and crippled by irregular power and water supply.
Y.G. Nagaraj, co-chairperson of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike's (BBMP) panel of the Peenya Industries Association (PIA), describing the industrial area as backward and lacking in civic infrastructure, said: "Garbage lies in heaps on the roads; the drains are clogged and sewage flows on the roads. Not just that, sewage is also getting mixed with the drinking water."
He also said that the area's sole water body — the Shivapura lake — is also uncared for. The local authorities have done nothing to prevent encroachment or letting in of sewage into it. "The area around the lake stinks and it is unbearable when it rains," Mr. Nagaraj said.
Indifferent councillors
"The local representatives (councillors) are not interested in the area. It is vast and comes under the jurisdiction of four councillors. None of them are interested in improving infrastructure here as they don't get many votes from an industrial area," he alleged.
Senior BBMP officials told The Hindu the industrial area comes under two zones — Dasarahalli and Rajarajeshwarinagar, besides three different Assembly constituencies (Dasarahalli, Rajarajeshwarinagar and Yeshwantpur). This being the case, the officials pass the buck and blame those from another zone.
An official from the Rajarajeshwarinagar zone admitted that it is the councillors who decide the works to be taken up. "It is their discretion. We just have to take up the works they choose."
Better off then
An official from the Dasarahalli zone claimed there was some infrastructure development during the Administrator's period, when the BBMP council was still not in place. "In two years, Rs. 60 crore was spent on roads and other civic infrastructure, even though the revenue from the area is just around Rs. 13 crore to Rs. 14 crore," he said. He admitted that after the councillors were elected, not much work has been taken up.

In response to federal efforts to ensure consumer protection and energy independence, the 1980 Residential Conservation Services (RCS) statute created the framework for residential in-home energy efficiency services around which Massachusetts' nation-leading programs are built. Currently, via proposed regulatory updates that are explained in more detail below, the DOER is encouraging a broader consumer reach and better consumer protections through RCS.
DOER has opened the public comment period for proposed updates to regulations governing the Residential Conservation Services (RCS) program (i.e., the residential home assessment program pursuant to the RCS statute, M.G.L. c.164 App.§§2-1 to 2-10. Note that in the 2013-2015 Energy Efficiency Investment Plan, the Mass Save® "Home Energy Services" and "Multi-family Retrofit" initiatives are regulated by the RCS statute and regulations). The public comment period, originally scheduled to end on Friday, February 6th, has been extended to Tuesday, March 31st at 5 p.m. The proposed updates to the RCS regulation (225 CMR 4.00) are designed to update and streamline the regulation, better integrate efficiency and renewable energy opportunities, and provide more consistent, comprehensive services to Massachusetts residents regardless of the fuel being used to heat a building or the number of units in a building. Furthermore, the proposed regulations seek to ensure that insulation contractors provide quality work to customers and have a transparent path into and out of the RCS program. Additionally, the RCS statute (M.G.L. ch. 164 App. §2-1 through §2-10) requires that the DOER create a State Plan to further implement the RCS program. Currently, the State Plan is set forth in the form of a Guideline that clarifies the RCS regulation. The DOER intends to update this Guideline through a future public stakeholder process. DOER encourages stakeholders to consider the State Plan in their review and development of comments regarding the proposed RCS regulation. More information about the process to update the Guideline will be provided here as it becomes available.
Written comments on the proposed regulation may be submitted via mail to Alissa Whiteman, Department of Energy Resources, 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 1020, Boston, MA 02114, or electronically to email@example.com with subject line "RCS Regulations Comments." Written comments must be submitted by 5 p.m. on March 31, 2015.
Previous public forums on proposed RCS updates include:
- Public hearing on proposed regulation on January 26, 2015
- Public meetings in summer 2014: DOER presented a high level overview of the proposed updates and invited stakeholders to submit written comments. See below for a link to the DOER presentation and stakeholder comments.

Forgotten AtrocitiesForgotten Atrocities12 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Our papa was off
To fight for Stalin,
Protecting the motherland
From the scourge of Berlin.
He fought for our family
Grandpa, Mama, Tanya, and I,
So that one day these bad men
Might just say good-bye.
And Mama prayed every night
Hoping for papa's return,
But as she tucked us in to our beds
I could see the tears of concern.
In the mornings grandpa would say
"Little Sasha stand tall and be proud,
Because the righteous will win
And all our enemies be bowed."
But a long while did pass
Before the good news finally came
"The Germans in retreat,"
And all fronts looked the same.
In only a few more days
Our town would be free.
The might of my country
Would uproot the nazi.
So it was a total surprise
When the gunmen came to our doors.
They marched the whole town to the bridge
And separated us by twos and by fours.
I held close to my grandpa
As they bound us together,
His ankle to mine
In that dreary winter weather.
This process continued
Until the whole town was done,
Mothers to daughters

Washed out

Her pain slowly
Seeped into her brain
Causing delirium
She sank
Far from
This world
Crazy and old
Giving her body
To live
He came back
Anger and rage
Consuming his soul
His pain
Formed to hate
And vengeance untold
He killed
She crazed
Soon finding each other
A slash of a blade
And it was over
Her pain silenced
Finding her
A grotesque heap
In his revenge
His beloved
So long lost
Now dead by him
Blinded by pain
He died
In his crime
Murder beget murder
Until only one remained
Their sad child
Daughter stolen
Not knowing her parents
Until all was lost

Somebody has to have the answer,

Does how you treated me make you feel strong?
you hurt me so bad don't you see?
all i ever wanted was somewhere to belong,

Did you never think maybe that the things you were doing were wrong?
you changed, you took over and were trapping me,

Collette had something of a sweet tooth, and the nice man who worked weekends always went out of his way to sneak her in something. The man that worked there weekends was the best.

Sir Cricket's PortraitSir Cricket's Portrait6 years ago in Children and Teen More Like This
On a very rainy day, in a very rainy city... Sir Cricket von Marionette decided to have his portrait taken. You see, Sir Cricket had a ladyfriend whom he bestowed the utmost admiration upon. One could even say he prized her esteemed company beyond all other crickets in that drizzly town. Perhaps even in the entire land, though Sir Cricket von Marionette was not one to go galavanting too far beyond the streets of his beloved home.
At any rate... this ladyfriend, Penelope Chirpington, had mentioned in passing that she would quite like to look upon the personage - or rather, the buggage - of Sir Cricket when time and circumstances were not favorable to their being together. In other words, she longed for a certain portrait, to keep on a certain table, which sat in a certain room that served as a place to pass the time, when not in a certain charming man-bug's company.

Whyd you shift "the" a bit to the left?
Sounds like you had an unsupported graphics card.
A lot of these programs have a "supported configs" list. Very often they will involve workstation graphics cards, which have a different set of drivers which the software is targetted at. That would explain why theyre giving you a hard time: you're not meeting their minimum supported configuration, and then complaining that they arent supporting it.
Forgive me for not mentioning all the other details, like the brand of my motherboard, my graphics card (which FYI was supported, it was a professional Nvidia Quadro card and very much supported, with the proper drivers even.) We even ran it in software mode, same errors. Do you honestly thing I would be stupid enough not to try SOFTWARE RENDERING instead of Direct3D or OpenGL to test for the bugs we had for 6 months?)

I ordered three of these marvelous chairs in two shipments. All arrived with at least one piece of the wood broken, in two cases it was substantial damage requiring replacement parts, which Overstock immediately sent. In the final case, I was able to glue the wood back together. So the the problems are fixed, just note that the shipping boxes are very under padded. Sad, really. Another shortcoming to note is that the predrilled holes do not in any way come close to lining up along the shoulder brace on the chair. One brace had three sets of holes drilled in it. One had none, and others were sort of randomly placed. I'm a hobbiest woodworker, so was able to cleanly patch and redrill, but just know to expect impressionistic tiny holes in random locations. Finally, the screws they include require a #20 star tip driver to install, and there are a lot of screws which need to go into difficult locations, making using a drill-driver hard to use. So why did I rate this so highly? Because the chair is a great design, very heavy duty, well proportioned, and made using very nice wood. It's a good value and results in a beautiful chair.
Love these adirondacks! They took a little time to assemble (but not too much!) They are sturdy and well-built. And so comfortable as we sit in the sun this spring! Delivery was fast and no damage to goods.
Unless you have an endless supply of patience and tools, this chair was a pain to assemble. The arms are difficult to attach from the bottom, we ended up screwing them from the top to secure, which detracts from the smooth surface. We used plugs to cover the sunken screws. The seat is comfortable to sit in but like most adirondack chairs, difficult to get out of. Not a chair for an elderly person. I have had the chair for 3 years, leave it outside all winter and it is holding up o.k. Not as good as my old redwood chairs but it's to be expected with cedar. The arms continue to loosen because it's the most natural way to pick up the chair by the arms to move. The legs are also in need of tightening/gluing. We will take apart and glue the joints before using again. If you purchase, highly recommend using stainless steel screws, wood glue and lots of time for assembly. These are weighty chairs and do not blow over easily, which is a bonus come spring winds. Wouldn't purchase again but they took too much effort to return.
Great chairs, i've been eyeing them for over a year and glad i finally decide to purchase them, not dissapointed at all.
After getting through the process of putting it together, not fun, we had us some very comfortable outdoor chairs that are very sturdy
Chairs look and sit awesome....assembly is easy but directions can be iffy.....just set them up with out screws/bolts...to make sure you have pieces facing correctly-----then start true assembly
Great chair, good design and easy to put together, ordered 4, (first one took 30 minutes and last one took 7 minutes). This is a really good looking Adirondack chair for the money. Fits a big body (6' 4" 275lbs).
Love the look and how comfortable these chairs are to sit in. A perfect addition to our backyard. We would definitely recommend them.
I'm writing a review to help future buyers. The chairs are decent quality wood, come in 8 pieces, and are very comfy. But our shipment was missing the instruction manual, the hardware was loose in the box, several nuts and washers were missing, the pre-drilled holes were in the wrong location on the arm-rest (as others have noted) and the bolt holes were not pre-drilled at all. We are not typically handy folks, but in this case, my husband got to 'earn' his father's day gift. We sorted out how it went together (not complicated), realized the pre-drilled holes were wrong (took a lil more work), bought the missing hardware, drilled the missing holes.... and the chairs are wonderful! Think of this more as a starter wood-worker hobbiest chair kit. and if you still think the price is a good deal (it's not too bad), then purchase. Enjoy!

wedding shoes
Hi, We are having a riverboat wedding in Sept., Can someone suggest what shoes I should wear. I was thinking a flat white sandal with maybe some rhinestones...not sure. Do I need to wear white shoes? The dress is long and cotton , with spaggeti straps. I would like to post a picture but don't see that option.
Thanks, I didn't think about that...The dress is a hawaiian beach dress...B/F's shirt is made from the same fabric. You are so right about the no frills. Most of the heels I've looked at are satin and I didn't think that would look good either. It should be easy to find a plain white sandal..thanks again!
This might help!
Here is a link that might be useful: white sandals
I think you should wear flats or wedge. I don't wear heels in weddings because I'm not comfortable in walking. I always wanted to seat because my toes and feet are swollen. I promise myself not to wear heels again and now I'm in love with flats and wedges. It is very comfortable to use and you can wear it in any occasion.

Orchid Tree
Hi Guys:
In or around August, I planted a young orchid tree about six feet tall. It went through a little heat stress during the August-September heat, but flourished once the weather cooled down. About two weeks ago, in Tucson, it got to about 24 degrees for three nights in a row, mid-50's during the day, and then warmed back up. I did not cover the tree like I probably should have. The young tree has lost all its leaves. As you can see, the stem is fine but the branches have turned a red-ish color. I know localized discoloration of hard wood tends to mean localized death. I called the nursery, and he said since the tree doesn't have leaves it cannot feed itself. He told me to mix cane sugar with warm water and soak it deep into the roots. I just did that. He told me to begin fertilizing in about a month. He said even if the branches did die, it will grow new ones, possibly on a split trunk, and become a fuller plant.
Based on the picture, where you can see the red discoloration, does anyone have any suggestions? How/when should I prune the dead branches. Do the branches appear dead to you? (I scratched the trunk with my nails and its green, the branches are brittle though.)

Colfax was the scene far more powerful and deadly tornado which took place on June 4, 1958. Twelve persons were killed and half the town destroyed, causing $2 million in damage.

Acting on aspirations: Branden Roth pursues dream of being a professional performer
WORTHINGTON -- He made his acting debut as the "Great Brandini" during the local Youth Council Talent Show, but Branden Roth, the son of Darwin and Lindia Roth of Worthington, had been entertaining friends and family for many years before that momentous event.
"I've always been up in front at church, singing," he reflected, "and I was in dance, too, when I was little."

even more beautiful in person
love love love these lamps. I knew I loved them when I ordered these lamps but I thought they maybe the type of lights not for everyone. I cant believe how many people compliment on them when they come into my house. Even my sister in law loves themRead More
Loved it!!!
I love love love this lamp. It is so pretty. It is a little bigger than I thought it would be and it was a bit pricey but overall this is a great product.Read More
Beautiful! Good light. The crystals take a little tone to put on but simple to doRead More
Darker than appears in the picture.
We bought this table lamp to put it in the living room. The lamp is beautiful but it is darker than you see it in the picture. This is the only reason I rated four stars this product. Good quality and worth the money spent.Read More
Looks exactly as pictured- nice glamorous lamps
Nice lamps! Assembly was easy. The color of the base is dark metal exactly as puctured. The shade is a true white.Read More
I am very pleased with this lamp. It is beautiful. It is a dark shiny chrome and the crystals are stunning. The shade is a soft white color. It arrived quickly and works perfectly. It was an expensive lamp for me, but worth the price. My only complaint is that it could have been packaged better for shipping. I had minimal damage to the metal posts on the shade. I was able to bend it back into place, but it could have potentially been much worse. I would recommend that overstock package delicate items with more care. Otherwise, I am happy with this lamp, and would recommend it.Read More
I'm in love!
If you are looking for a beautiful lamp with crystals there is no other choice. I love them! I placed them above my nightstands and they just pull everything together so well.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello, melflan. This is not a 3-2ay bulb, it takes one - 40 watt Medium Base bulbs. Thank you for your inquiry,
yes it is
Can I use higher than a 40 watt bulb? Seems very dim for a reading lamp.
Hello mrsmom777, we can only recommend the 40 watt bulb. It is more of accent lighting than a reading lamp.
Is the lampshade white?
Yes, it is white.
Is the lampshade removable, so as to use a different shade than the one provided?
Yes, the lampshade is removable.
Shopping Guides
Tips on Buying Lamp Shades
It's easy to spruce up old lighting fixtures with the right lamp shades for your home. Whether you need to refresh your table lamps or make reading lamps more inviting, you'll probably need a bit of information before you buy lamp shades that will work with your lamps and your decor. Read on for tips on buying lamp shades.
How to Buy a Lampshade
Lamps are more than just functional pieces; they also contribute to the decor of a room. Their sizes vary, from table lamps to floor lamps, and a large variety of styles are available to suit any home decor. Lampshades are usually the focal point of lamps. They complement the base of the lamp, and they also hide the bulb and diffuse the light. To achieve the best effect with a lampshade, simplicity is the key. Ornate floor and table lamps are best complemented by simple lampshades, while a simple table or floor lamp can support a more decorative lampshade.
Best Table Lamp for Your Bedroom
It's easy to brighten up your bedroom with a fresh new table lamp. Whether you want elegant bedside table lamps you can read by at night or traditional table lamps that add a classic feel to your room, the following suggestions will help you buy table lamps that fit your style and add the right amount of light to your space. Read on to find the best table lamp for your bedroom.
Best Lamp for Your Child's Room
Eliminate shadows and dark shapes when you buy a lamp to brighten up your son or daughter's bedroom. Whether you want a whimsical wood lamp for a daughter who enjoys reading books or colorful table lamps for your son's nightstand, you're sure to find kids' lamps that your children will love. Read on for tips on buying the best lamp for your child's room.
Decorating with Lamps
Overhead lighting may fill the room with light, but it's the low table lamps that offer the most flattering lighting. The style of lamps you choose will also change the feel of the whole room. If you're redecorating, be sure to consider what different lamps can do for the mood.
Best Lamp Shades for Your Table Lamps
Even the simplest lamps can look bolder and brighter with the right lamp shades. Whether you want to add a bit more light to your living room with sheer fabric lamp shades or create an old-fashioned bedroom with vintage lamp shades, the following suggestions will help you find the table lamps with shades that suit your style. Read on for tips on finding the best lamp shades for your table lamps.
How to Measure Lampshades
While deciding to redecorate a room, the idea may start small -- a fresh coat of paint, an accent chair to warm up a bare corner or new pictures to hang on the wall. Somewhere along the line, you notice that you need new lamp shades. Or maybe you find the perfect table lamps but aren't too crazy about the shades. It is quite easy to just change out lamp shades. Before running off on a quest to find the perfect new shades for your table lamps and floor lamps, ensure that they will fit by measuring your current lamp shades.
How to Buy a Desk Lamp
Brighten up your office, homework area or craft table with a quality desk lamp. Whether you want a bright LED desk lamp for working on math late at night or a contemporary desk lamp that lets you see colors clearly while you paint, the right table lamps can make work easier and add to your decor, too. Read on for tips on buying a desk lamp.
Best Lamps for Your Family Room
Make your family room a fun, relaxing area with the right lamps to complement your home decor.

Read on for tips on finding the best lamps for your family room.
End Table Buying Guide
In the world of living room furniture, the sofa and coffee table might be the stars, but your end tables are important parts of the supporting cast. Without end tables, where would you put your lamps? Where would you set your drink? Where would you pile up the last week's worth of newspapers? End tables, also known as console tables, come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you are looking for a traditional end table, round end table or basically any variety, this end table buying guide will show you how to buy end tables that will be just right for your home.
Tips on Buying Tiffany Lamps
Easily recognizable with their colored glass shades and heavy iron stands, Tiffany lamps were first created in 1895 as part of the Art Nouveau movement. They bring the beauty of a stained glass window into your home, whether you choose small table lamps or hanging pendant fixtures. For the look of an authentic Tiffany lamp without the high price tag, shop for Tiffany-style light fixtures. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect one for your home.
How to Decorate Your Dining Room with Round Area Rugs
Add color and warmth to your dining room by laying area rugs atop hardwood or tiled floors. Round area rugs are a perfect fit for dining rooms with circular tables. Whether it's the main dining table, a decorative accessory table or simply a floor lamp with a spherical lamp shade, round area rugs are the perfect accent piece. They can also be used to freshen the look of worn or stained carpet in a well-used dining room.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
FAQs about Accent Tables
It's a common misconception that you need a lamp or a piece of art to complete a room. While those are both good choices, the same function can be filled with an elegant end table. Convenient, functional and at least semi-portable, living room accent tables are quickly becoming the accessory of choice in all types of homes. The right accent table can complement any style and provide an added storage area in even the smallest of spaces. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about accent tables.
Nightstand Buying Guide
To create a balanced atmosphere in your bedroom, finding the right nightstand is essential. A nightstand is an end table for the bedroom. In almost every case, it stands beside your bed as a useful space for storing and displaying the things any good end table might: a table lamp, an alarm clock, a book or magazine, a pair of glasses, a small plant, a drinking glass, a framed picture. All night stands are built with your basic bedside requirements in mind, but there are important distinctions in nightstand utility and style. Luckily, this nightstand buying guide gives you all the information you need to determine how to buy a nightstand that brings you closer to the bedroom of your dreams.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Best Floor Lamp for the Bedroom

Whether you want to add a stunning torchiere floor lamp to an empty corner or read in bed more easily with a swing-arm floor lamp, you're sure to find the right lighting with the following suggestions. Read on to find the best floor lamp for your bedroom.

Tips on Buying Drinking Glasses

Whether you want plastic drinking glasses kids can easily sip from or elegant crystal glasses to set the tone for a formal party, you're sure to find the right glasses and tumblers with the following suggestions. Read on for tips on buying drinking glasses.
How to Choose Lamps for a Bedroom
Choosing the proper lamps for your bedroom is not only a matter of taste, but it is also a practical matter. Even though sleep is the main activity in bedrooms, most people prefer that their bedroom have more than one lamp, especially if the room does not have overhead lighting fixtures. The trick when choosing bedroom lamps is to find the proper balance between style and function.

Out of the millions who bought the lottery, only one lucky buyer gets to win the $590.5 million jackpot, CNN reports. Powerball jackpot winning numbers were 22, 10, 13, 14, 52 and the Powerball number is 11. This is the highest among the Powerball lottery ticket winners in history.
The winner has yet to claim his or her jackpot as of the moment.
According to Kelly Cripe, spokeswoman for the Texas Lottery, "if there had been no winner in Saturday's Powerball, the jackpot would have shot up to $925 million for Wednesday's drawing."
Florida follows a strict regulation as to the claiming of the jackpot. The winner has only up until the 180th day after the drawing to claim his or her prize at a state lottery or from a lottery district office. Whichever Powerball retailer across the state can authenticate the winning ticket.
Powerball is being played across 43 states in the U.S., the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands at $2 per ticket.
Deputy Secretary of the Florida Lottery David Bishop confirms that the winning ticket was sold at the Publix supermarket in Zephyrillis, Florida. The said jackpot already exceeds the $587.6 million jackpot won in November and was divided between two winners from Arizona and Missouri.
As much as the recent ticket has won in Florida, buyers do not stop from buying their tickets from Trex Mart in Dearborn, Missouri, where one of the $587.6 million ticket was won.
According to accounts, the largest lottery jackpot across the U.S. was $656 million in Mega millions game in March 2012. The winning prize was divided among three winning tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland as compared to the Powerball's jackpot with only one winner.
According to statistics, a chance of winning the lottery ticket is 1 in 175.2 million but this odd does not stop Americans from betting on their numbers.
Analysts say that people are drawn to lottery because they only pay a small price but they have the chance of winning millions worth of prizes. The buyers' behaviour shows that they see betting at the lottery as a small investment with the biggest possible revenue.
CNN asks other regular lottery buyers how they feel about winning the lottery.
Butch Gonzalez sounds a bit dismayed for not buying his or her ticket at the Publix in Zephyrhills for this particular draw. He shares that "I buy mine here all the time. Yesterday, I was in Naples. I bought it in Naples. That's just my luck. I just hope whoever won really needs the money and I hope they do right by it."
CNN said that that people stand a better chance of walking onto the golf course and hitting two consecutive holes in one than winning the jackpot.
But despite this odd of winning the lottery, there are approximately 100 people buying lottery tickets in an hour.
People are more than willing to take their chances on the lottery more than any game played across the U.S.
Jim Mansell, a regular lottery player in Missouri, shares that he only buys one ticket each time. "I figure if the good Lord intends you to win, you only need one ticket. But I don't know if the good Lord believes in gambling or not..."

The Anglican Church, or Church of England, is governed by the Queen of England who oversees two archbishops, who in turn oversee the 108 bishops and their various dioceses around the world. These dioceses are subdivided into parishes, which are led by priests.Know More
The two archbishops of the Church of England are the archbishop of Canterbury and the archbishop of York. These two priests, along with 24 other high-ranking bishops, also have an important role in the English government through their involvement with Parliament. Each diocese also has an archdeacon, who is actually a priest placed in charge of the more social matters of the diocese.
Parishes are led by vicars or rectors, who are high-ranking priests within the religion. Those individuals may also have a curate, who is someone training to become a priest. In 1999, an archbishops' council was established to help the church govern itself. There are 19 members and seven directors of the archbishops council. There is also a general synod comprised of elected members of each diocese that meets twice each year in either London or New York. Members of the general synod are not required to be members of the clergy in order to be elected.Learn more in Christianity
