Microsoft Session at Cloud Expo in New York
In the boxing ring of Enterprise IT, one of the heavyweights has now joined the fight. Because this was the week that Microsoft, with just six weeks to go before the 5th Cloud Expo, of which Microsoft is a Gold sponsor and one of the biggest exhibitors (out of over 70 leading Cloud companies exhibiting), came out of the corner swinging.
Specifically Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, gave a speech on Thursday to computer science students at the University of Washington. He discussed what's ahead for computing, with a focus on how cloud computing will change the way people and businesses use technology.
"Twenty million businesses and over a billion people use Microsoft cloud services," Ballmer noted.
One of his slides in Seattle was headed:
"The cloud fuels Microsoft, and Microsoft fuels the cloud"

The most telling quote of all perhaps came towards the very end of his address. "This is the time," Ballmer said. "It's the opportunity and the cloud forms the basis between the microprocessor and the Internet, we did give the gifts that never stopped giving. And they're giving us the cloud today, and as I like to say at Microsoft, for the cloud we're all in."
Right after giving his speech, Ballmer sent an internal email to all Microsoft employees, the full text of which is worth reading since it gives chapter and verse on why Microsoft believes cloud computing to be one of the biggest opportunities in decades for the tech industry and for Microsoft. Here it is:
To: All Microsoft employees
From: Steve Ballmer
Today, I spoke to a group of students and faculty at the University of Washington to discuss how cloud computing will change the way people and businesses use technology.
My goal was to challenge people to look at the cloud more broadly and understand the multidimensional nature of the cloud transformation happening today. Other companies have defined the cloud in a narrow, one-dimensional way. Although these companies provide some interesting components, Microsoft is uniquely delivering on a wide range of cloud capabilities that bring increasingly more value to our customers.
In my speech, I outlined the five dimensions that define the way people use and realize value in the cloud:
* The cloud creates opportunities and responsibilities
* The cloud learns and helps you learn, decide and take action
* The cloud enhances your social and professional interactions
* The cloud wants smarter devices
* The cloud drives server advances that drive the cloud
This view fuels our investments across the entire company, from datacenters to cloud platform technologies to cloud-based development tools and applications. Today, nearly every one of our products has, or is developing, features or services that support the cloud. As I said today, when it comes to the cloud, we are all in. We are all in across every product line we have and across every dimension of the cloud.
Of course, this is not news to any of you. We have been making huge investments in the cloud for the past decade. Nearly five years ago, Ray's "Services Disruption" memo provided the outline for what we needed to do as a company, and with the delivery of Windows Azure at the recent PDC, we have made huge strides in making this vision real.
To keep our momentum, it is critical that every Microsoft employee works to deliver the full benefits of the cloud to our customers.
As a part of this, I request that you do the following:
* Watch the speech on demand here
* Learn more about our cloud offerings and how they relate to our overarching software plus services strategy here (unavailable outside Microsoft network)
* Review your commitments to ensure you are landing our vision with customers and partners.
Of course, there is more work to do. We have strong competitors. We need to be (and are) willing to change our business models to take advantage of the cloud. We must move at "cloud speed," especially in our consumer offerings. And we need to be crystal clear about the value we provide to all our customers.
To drive our message home even further, today you will see an ad campaign in the U.S. focused on our commercial and government businesses, a new website with consolidated content and case studies, and ongoing emphasis on the cloud from me and other members of the SLT in our upcoming speeches and presentations.
We have an enormous opportunity in front of us. We have great products and services in the market today and a range of new ones on their way.
All of our products make the cloud better, and the cloud makes our products better.
Anyone who wants to see how exactly all this is being translated into reality by Microsoft should make sure to attend 5th Cloud Expo at The Jacob Javits Convention Center next month (April 19-21, 2010). Microsoft's Azure services will have a prominent presence on the 3-day show floor, with a massive 25-foot by 25-foot booth that will leave no one in any doubt about Steve Ballmer's words: Microsoft truly is "all in" for the Cloud.
To borrow Ballmer's phrase, the event has grown at "Cloud speed" since we first produced it, in the heart of Silicon Valley, in 2008. It is currently trending to be The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World.

The Ochsen in Moessingen: Nice Simple Family Appartment at a good price
We travel as a group of 5 so finding nicely priced places to stay can sometimes be difficult.
The Ochsen has a nice older appartment that half the price of the places we checked on in the main village near the castle. It does not include breakfest, but there is a coffee/bakery quick-stop just 15 yards up the street. The grocery store in the village also opened early each day.
In April of 2005 (off season) we paid 110 euro per night for 5 people.
The people are nice & if you have the time, the owner also is a flier and can arrange for a bird's eye tour of the countryside.

A federal court denied a motion for summary judgment to nullify the conflict minerals reporting provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that was sought by three business groups that argued the Securities and Exchange Commission's actions in adopting the rule were arbitrary and capricious and a violation of their First Amendment free-speech guarantees.

For decades, governments and companies have focused on tariffs as the biggest obstacle to global trade, but a Bain & Company partner and a World Bank director argue that supply-chain barriers are the main obstacles to improving trade flows.
Royal Caribbean Cruises is turning to CFO Brian Rice to cut costs from its supply chain as the cruise industry battles a poor operating environment — even though by his own admission the 20-plus-year company vet has no expertise in that part of its business.
The costs associated with the suspension of business activities due to Hurricane Sandy could rise significantly in the coming weeks, Fitch Ratings says, and that will come on top of initial insured losses that are already estimated to be around $5 to $10 billion. In a note on Tuesday, the ratings firm said it will take weeks to determine coverage for business interruption losses, particularly since coverage typically only begins after a waiting period of 72 hours or so and business interruption claims often take weeks for companies to estimate.

Companies are scrambling to get a better understanding of their supply chains following the issuance of a new conflict minerals rule by U.S. regulators last week.
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a final rule requiring companies to disclose whether their products have been manufactured with minerals blamed for fueling violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its surrounding region. The rule was mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act and applies to four minerals — tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten.

A shortage of hard drives caused by floods in Thailand should alleviate by the third quarter, which will allow the supply chains of many technology companies to replenish, according to Intel CFO Stacy Smith.
Smith said the chip maker's fourth quarter was "impacted significantly" by the hard drive shortages. Computer makers scaled back the number of units they produced, which reduced the need for computer processors.

Not ready for prime time. Natural disasters last year showed just how fragile supply chains have become, but many of the same weak links remain, says CFOJ's Max Murphy in today's Marketplace section. That's partly because of the high costs of boosting inventory — even slightly. "I don't see any of us moving away from very disciplined supply-chain management," Ford CFO Lewis Booth tells us. But, he adds, "There will be targeted changes."
Unnatural disasters. Sean Cumbie, vice president in charge of global supply-chain management at Qiagen, worries about the risks from doing business — even unwittingly — with countries such as Iran, which face heavy U.S. sanctions. Companies have to "be prepared should any…suppliers get caught up in sanction issues which might impact our end-to-end supply chain flow."

After a decade of streamlining their supply chains to make them less costly, the natural disasters and political upheavals that marked 2011 showed many multinational companies just how vulnerable those links have become. But this new awareness hasn't necessarily led to action. That's partly because boosting inventory even slightly to provide a cushion against supply disruptions can cost big companies millions of dollars, taking a noticeable bite out of the bottom line.

Exellent location close to lots of really good eateries,close to the Metro system,first rate facilities,(bring your swim suit). - Stuart
The hotel and the rooms are modern with the proper basic equipment you
would expect in a hotel. The windows are sound proof. The location is
convenient if you have a car and are travelling to Brussels for 1 or two
days only. There is possibility for private parking at the hotel for 10€
per night, or on the street in "Clos du Lynx" behind the hotel
for free, if you are lucky to find a place. - Anonymous
i had found an special offer, i guess is just because the hotel needs a minimal occupation to cover, so.. Anyway, it's a very nice luxury stile hotel, the breakfast buffet was just lovable and has all the facilities of a 5*L hotel. Ubication couldnt be better, is in the heart of brussels. - Anonymous
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The design of the hotel was modern and arty. It was quite well located, only 10 minutes walk from the museum area/ Palais Real. The rooms were clean and comfortable- Breakfast was nice; there were plenty of cereals, bread, croissants and meat/cheese. There were not many facilities, but there were computers to use free of charge. - Anonymous
breakfast was included in the price when we booked this hotel which was of very good quality plenty to choose from,also the hotels location was perfect for us as it is as close to the centre of brussels as you can get,all the main attractions at very close walking distance,and close to transport connections, - Michael
I arrived early morning after a flight from New York and was courteously greeted by a staff member who invited me to relax in their lobby and have a cup of coffee while they attended to having a room ready as soon as possible despite the fact it was well prior to their official check-in time. After having travelled for nearly a month it was both a delight and a blessing to find a place which treated one as a human being and not merely an object from whom to extract the most money for the least - Anonymous
Location, everything perfect! - Anonymous
Staff were very friendly. Room was neat and tidy and maid service was first class with great attention to detail. Breakfast was superb with a fantastic choice and very helpful staff. Location was excellent. Would stay again. - Anonymous
It was a wonderful hotel. The room was huge with a huge bed as well and with an excellent view of the city. Very clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is great, only a small walk to the main city square. Lot of restaurants around the hotel. - Abhishek
It's a great location and the room we had was really spacious and had a lovely feel to it. Nice decor, spotlessly clean, opening windows and very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it. - Anonymous
Although we were booked into a room on the 7th floor (and not 1st or 2nd as I requested) the receptionist was happy to change us immediately, and we had a very comfortable and spacious room on the 3rd floor, which was fine. It was very quiet too. The breakfast was fantastic ! And restaurant was excellent too, and staff very friendly and helpful. NB We chose this hotel because we have had previous excellent experience with NH hotels in Spain. - Anonymous

Burning Question: Bonus Beans?
If you had an extra $100 laying around, how would you spend it to spruce up your house? Would you grab some gallons of paint and give a few rooms a totally new look? Would you splurge for some special accessory that you've had your eye on (like a fancy wall mirror or glass based lamp?). Would you snatch up a Craigslist table to transform with a bit of elbow grease? Would you put it towards some larger home-related purchase that you've been saving for?
We're itching to hear where that loot would end up.

Definitely towards our master bedroom. It only needs a few more items to be complete so that's where my $100 would go.
I am so disgusted with my whole house…. maybe a few little accessories would help.. I wish I could start all over!!!
I voted for transformative and substantial because I'd like to use the $100 to buy materials to build my boys new beds and nightstands. So much cheaper than buying them for $900 a piece!!
We're saving for a house – so I'd put it in our house fund for sure! :)
I would splurge on flowers for my outdoor planters and a few plants for landscaping.
If we had an extra $100, I would buy a decorative object because my husband and I don't really get too many chances to buy them. We're a year into our house and we're still stocking up on paints, tools, etc., so to buy a home decor item is considered a treat since it doesn't fall on the "need" list. We'll get there tho, just takes time and patience!
I would put it toward the addition that we've been saving up for! We live in a small 1950's brick ranch (similar to yours, but smaller!), but it is only 1050 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms. We are saving all of our dollars up for a master bedroom/bathroom addition…which will open up lots more available space for a family – hopefully in the near future :)
I'm desperately in need of clothing storage in my tiny bedroom. It only has a small closet I don't have a dresser in there yet. Last fall when I firt moved in my house, the neighbor was throwing away a decent sized dresser with an ugly mirror. I took the mirror of and the dresser is currently waiting for me to make a new life of of it (I'm still debating on if I should paint or stain it. Any suggestions?)
Sorry for all the typos there :P
Towards something substantial – a larger piece of furniture (or project). I'd actually like to get a bigger bed for us!
I have a mini sink hole that showed up in my driveway last week. I would put the money towards redoing the driveway. I know it would not pay for it all but it would help!
I would put it towards buying a house! I'm saving every penny I can these days so I dont have to rent anymore! :)
It would definitely go towards some paint. We are moving in a couple of months and I've already picked out the colours, but the cost to pretty much paint a whole new house adds up!
Paint! It's so expensive but makes a big impact.
We are in desperate need of a new couch, I really want to throw ours off the balcony.
I'd love something modular, and the 100$ would go in my 'new couch' fund.
I voted for trans formative… we've only been in our house since November and are still working on making it 'ours'!
I voted for something "green". I guess part of it is that if ever I'm "gifted" something, I always try to put it towards something really beneficial. I've already got the composting bin (which I used up every last piece of for our new veggie garden), so I'd love to invest in some high-quality "green cleaners" and usually those are more expensive than the regulars (so weird, but what're ya gonna do?!).
Great question! I always wonder what I'd do if I won the lottery (travel the world for a year), but if you just suddenly had $100 extra in your bank account, you have to be more creative ;-).
Hah! When I read the title in Google Reader I thought you had just found out you were having twins!
I voted "functional", thought it would also qualify as "green": I'd replace some of our lightbulbs with compact fluorescent – and good ones. I'm sick of the weak light coming from the Ikea ones in our bedside lamps.
When I read your title 'Bonus Beans', I thought you were about to tell us you were having twins. LOL.
I'd take my extra beans and invest in something substantial, like a new rug !
I would definitely buy something decorative like a cool lamp or an awesome rug!
I would put it towards new faucets. We've already replaced one bathroom faucet, but we need to tackle two of 'em in the master bath plus the kitchen. Oh, and new satin nickel door knobs for the whole house (buh-bye brass!). Wait…all of that is definitely more than $100!
Towards decorative. We desperately need to get our whole house done and are slowly getting there.
I'd buy curtains for our MBR…really the only room left in our house that is unfinished. It's been years, but I've wanted to work on other spaces first.
I would most likely run to my closest IKEA and buy wall shelves or frames or a mirror. $100 at IKEA can go a long way!
I have my eye on some new throw pillows for the couch,but then, I pretty much always do!

When crises emerge, critics charge that Obama should act more quickly and more aggressively, or they argue that no US interests are involved and the US should decline any intervention.

Speaking to an interviewer recently, Maggie Smith, President of the electrical remodel service firm explained, "If you want to be assured that your electrical remodeling work is done accurately and efficiently, it is best to pick the team that has been operating in the local area for nearly forty years. We call ourselves the "A Team". No job is too big or too small. We work in schools, businesses and homes."
She continues, "There is a combination of tasks that are typical of electrical work. We install new systems. We repair existing systems and we add to systems when they need to be upgraded. Remodeling may be adding a residential room, or installing a new piece of equipment in an industrial setting. We might change out lighting systems in schools, homes or factories. When the best quality products are utilized and the highest level of expertise is brought into the project, there are positive results."
The A Team recognizes that down time cost money when it happens in a manufacturing setting. This means that money is lost. Health and safety issues are involved when repairs are lengthy. The team will help with the planning and scheduling for larger remodeling projects so that disruption is minimal.

Throw an Enchanted Forest Halloween Party
Like pumpkins, ghosts and witches, candy corn just screams Halloween. Sure it satisfies your sweet tooth, but the tasty confection's visual appeal also makes a great decoration for the holiday. (And with over 35 million pounds of candy corn manufactured each year, there's plenty of it to go around!) The seven decorating ideas below—from stringing the candy into garlands to using it to decorate tabletops––are proof that sometimes playing with your food is more fun than eating it!

Hand print?
Does anyone know where I can find a kit to make babies hand or foot print?
For my son's first birthday we wanted to do the same thing and had trouble finding such a kit. We ended up buying a set of finger paints and used some butcher paper. I then picked him up and used him like a giant human stamp. We'd had a big piece of paper for a tablecloth at his birthday party to decorate, and after he got the hang of being "stamped", we made a couple of tries on smaller peices of paper to scrapbook. It looked best after the paints had been swirled together some. And we both had a lot of fun with it.
Crayola makes a great substance called Model Magic. It's like play-dough but very light, and dries flexible. I've used it over the years to do my kids handprints and it's much easier than plaster.
You can buy it at teacher supply stores. Sometime Kmart or Target has it, but in little packages for a lot more $$ than the teacher's store.

Interview Question
Interview Answer
3 Answers
***Probably asked based on my prior research experience***
I kinda fudged this one. I said that I'd compute the covariance of the two datasets. My interviewer took the answer but didn't show whether or not he liked that answer.
Covariance and correlation coefficient are based on Gaussian assumption, Spearman's rank correlation maybe a better choice if they are totally different types of data. A scatterplot before calculating these statistics is recommended.
if two are both quantitative variables, use correlation. if both are categorical, use two way table. if one is quantitative and the other is categorical, then convert the quantitative one to a categorical one then make a two way table.

Newsboys - God's Not Dead (Official Music Video)
Could a marinar sit idle if he heard the drawing cry. Could a doctor sit in comfort and let his patients die. Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand. Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED? - Leonard Ravenhill 1907-1994. I never herd of Leonard Ravenhill while he was alive but even so he has been a great encouragement and I'm sure his heavenly reward is still increasing with the impact his books and recorded sermons are still having on people. God bless. There are difficult times just ahead and we will all need to cling to Jesus. God is preparing and refining His people and His holy Spirit has been promised to be poured out on all flesh (Joel). In Ezekiel we read that God wants to take out heart of stone and put in us a heart of flesh. A heart of stone will not experience the outpouring, only a heart of flesh or an alive (Spiritually) heart. God blesses the soil that drinks in the rain that often falls upon it. In scripture the heart is often described as soil like in the parable of the Sower. Rain is often a reference to the Holy Spirit. Now here is that scripture again if you missed it. Hebrews 6:7 God blesses the soil that drinks in the rain that often falls upon it. Don't go to broken down sis-terns that can hold no water. Go to Jesus Christ and drink in His Holy Spirit. There you will find the fountain of. living water. The water is free and the well is deep. How can we return that which we never could earn.
Before the Lord takes His church out of the world He is going to take the world out of the church. The church (body of Christ or believers) should be in the world like a ship should be on the ocean. But you shouldn't have the ocean in the ship just like you shouldn't have the world in the church. The devils main objective at the moment and it has been this way for some time and that's to blur the line between the church and the world. We see entertainment, worldly music styles and watered down preaching that fails to address sin and call men (and women) to repent so they don't perish. A lot of preaching is made as painless as possible and it is lulling people to sleep so they get to hell quicker. Most preachers are not at all like the Lion of Juda. They are like tady cat's that have had there claws neatly trimmed at bible college so they can paw over the congregation without ever causing them to be convicted of there sin. There are a million roads into hell and no exits. I'm not sure of the exact figure but there must be at least 300,000 people dyeing each day and going of to spend an eternity in hell. And do we as Christians have a longing and urgency to reach out to the lost and make the most of every opportunity to try and rescue the perishing.
Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven doesn't come in a way in which to be seen. The kingdom of heaven is within you. Christ can be in you and you can be in Christ. In Acts it says that His Holy Spirit is His gift to those who obey Him. The word also says the the Holy Spirit is God's mark of ownership of us. Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and obey Him and that those who love Him will obey His commandments. When we obey Him he will reveal Himself to us and this is how we get to know Him. The word also says that knowing God is eternal life. Jesus came that we might know Him. Deny yourself take up your cross and follow the Lord (Mark 8:34-) 1 John says if you love the world or anything that belongs to the world the love of the Father is not in you. By the Spirits power we can forsake the world, the flesh and the devil. Not tearfully but cheerfully. Anything we love put before God is and idol and God detests idols. Is the world crucified to us tonight or does it fascinate us?
If your god's dead, try mine!
God is alive he is with me all the time I am bless for that.
this song is awsome and god not dead he is ALIVE.
Wish I could find their PowerPoint presentation. It was really good.
IF GOD WERE DEAD THERE WOULDn't BE AN ISRAEL.....AND YOU WOULDn't BE HERE TO READ WHAT I JUST WROTE! AWESOME SONG GUYS!
GOD IS NOT DEAD! He is living on the inside in each and everyone of us, everyday, ever way.... ROARING LIKE A LION!
He sure has been good to me every day of my life! :-D I know He is alive and He loves me! ~ and YOU! :-)
I can hear him roar can you?
The Newsboys are better than ever!
great song

Linux Distribution Popularity Trends Plotted 209
from the year-of-linux-on-the-toaster dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not a very accurate measurement IMHO, although its just "popularity" after all:
From TFA:
Bear in mind that the graphs do not represent distribution sales, downloads, or installed base; rather, the data is based entirely on the number of Google searches containing each distribution's name per unit time as reported by Google's search insights tool.
So, in what sense does it bode well for Linux?
I don't think it does bode well for Linux. If you look at statcounter's [statcounter.com] usage stats, while Linux has finally made it above the "other" category, growth has essentially stalled. Worldwide, linux has gone from about 0.7% in 2009 to 0.8% in 2010. That's going in the right direction, it's still not terribly encouraging, at that rate Linux will never become a mainstream OS.
