In a recent post to the CCIF mailing list, Bob Marcus outlined the coming opportunties and challenges facing what he described as "Government Cloud Storefronts". In the post he described Vivek Kundra's (US Federal CIO) vision for the creation of a government Cloud Storefront. This Storefront (run by GSA) which will be launched Sept 9th and will make Cloud resources (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) available to agencies with in the US federal Government. (an $80+ Billion a year IT organization).
What's also interesting is the US isn't alone in the vision of centralized access points for procuring Cloud services and related applications. Several other governments including the United Kingdom G-Cloud app store and the Japanese Kasumigaseki Cloud are attempting to do the same with Japan spending upwards of 250 million dollars on their initiative.
Kundra, speaking at a recent conference at the National Defense University on cloud computing elaborated on his GovApp Store concept "Any agency can go online and agencies will be able to say 'I'm interested in buying a specific technology' and we will abstract all the complexities for agencies. They don't have to worry about Federal Information Security Management Act compliance. They don't have to worry about certification and accreditation. And they don't have to worry about how the services are being provisioned. Literally, you'll be able to go in as an agency… and provision those on a real-time basis and that is where the government really needs to move as we look at standardization. This will be the storefront that will be simple."
According to Marcus, "There are strong initial efficiency benefits (reduced procurement time and costs) gained by providing government projects with controlled access to multiple Cloud resources. However unless a set of best practices are followed, there could be negative long-range results such as lack of portability and interoperability across Cloud deployments."
Ed Meagher, former deputy CIO at the Interior and Veterans Affairs departments also sheds some light on the topic saying, "The challenge will be working in both worlds and making those two worlds work together. There's going to be lot of pressure on the [federal] CIO community to help this administration do the things it wants to do, like making government more efficient, more accessible to citizens and more transparent."
I could not agree more. But I also don't think the US Federal GovApp store requires standardization so much as transparency into the underliying processes that support the so called "running" of the app store.
Some thoughts that come to mind include, who exactly is building this app store, how will it be managed, what oversight will it have and how can we prevent abuse (halliburton style contracts anyone?) or even Apple's Iphone app store style "vendor lockout". These are much more important questions that need to be addressed first.
To help solve these issues on September 21, the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) will host an open free Session on "Best Practices for Cloud Storefronts" at its Virginia Plenary. The focus will be on recommended minimal standardizations (and compliance tests) for Cloud resources that are included in Storefront. Government IT leaders (e.g. GSA) will be invited to participate in the Session.
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.

In the process of making pancakes this image appeared in the china bowl. I thought it was funny so decided to share it with all my friends at RB in the hope it would cheer some up.
Try and think of 50 people it could be a portrait of.
Taken with Sony Cybershot 4.1. Had to have a few goes to get the lighting to allow max colour without too much shadow. Ended up putting the bowl on the floor in a patch of sunlight. All shots taken with flash were washouts.

Judge Sets Date to Rule on BP Plea Deal Over Spill
A federal judge says she will decide next month whether to accept a plea deal that calls for BP PLC to pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties for its role in a deadly 2010 rig explosion and the massive oil spill it triggered in the Gulf of Mexico.
To resolve a Justice Department probe, the London-based oil giant agreed last month to plead guilty to criminal charges involving the deaths of 11 workers and lying to Congress about how much oil spilled from its blown-out well.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance scheduled a Jan. 29 hearing where she will either accept or reject BP's plea agreement with the government.
BP can withdraw its plea agreement if she rejects the deal.

MLB to formally celebrate if Bonds passes Aaron
NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball will in some way formally celebrate Barry Bonds as the home run king should the San Francisco Giants slugger break Hank Aaron's all-time home run record.
"There will likely be ads, either national or local, and that will be determined in the days coming up," said Tim Brosnan, executive vice president of business for the league. "We are basically going to be consistent with the policy we've been following for the last 10 years against many of the milestones that have been achieved in baseball."
Brosnan made his comments on a panel at the Street & Smith's World Congress of Sports in New York City.
Bonds is only seven home runs away from moving into second place on the home run list. He currently stands at 708 home runs compared to Babe Ruth's 714.
Brosnan hinted that baseball likely would do little to commemorate Bonds' passing of Ruth.
"The big record is 755," Brosnan said. "That's where we bring in partners and create national marketing campaigns and celebrations."
A poll of 155 sports business executives at the conference revealed that 45 percent would have a "very muted congratulations of Bonds." Twenty nine percent would not have any celebration, while 26 percent said it would be appropriate to have a full celebration.
But how many companies would join in celebrating Bonds, who is the subject of a new book that alleges Bonds has used performance-enhancing drugs for years?
Pepsi, which is a league sponsor, plans on celebrating the achievement in a more muted way, according to Dawn Hudson, president and chief executive of Pepsi-Cola North America.
"As brand stewards we are going to be careful that what we are doing is right by youth and having the right symbols of what achievement is in this country," Hudson told the conference audience.
The Giants are expected to celebrate the 715th home run, and Bonds' marketing agent Jeff Bernstein told ESPN.com that there will be plenty of merchandise surrounding the moment.
Bernstein said plans are well under way for commemorative T-shirts, hats, coins and lapel pins. He also said that McFarlane Toys will be making a special boxed set featuring figurines of both Bonds and Ruth.
Topps, which is the only card company that has the rights to use Bonds, will make a card set featuring Bonds homeruns from Nos. 700 to 715.
Bernstein said Bonds will also sell limited edition commemorative items on his Web site.
Brosnan said that he believes that Major League Baseball will take some action into looking into Bonds' past, as has been rumored.
"Perhaps not along the lines of an investigation because law enforcement was, and still is, involved," Brosnan said. "Like everyone else, we have to be careful when that happens."
Brosnan did say that he believes that a fact-finding mission will make it easier for potential sponsors to join in a celebration should Bonds hit more than 47 home runs and break the long ball record.
Said Brosnan: "When we would have our discussions with our partners, we would present them with the facts when we ask them to consider the kind of commitment we are asking them to make."

Red-necked Grebe still at Paynes Siding, Delta County
Expand Messages
- I looked for and found Jason's grebe yesterday and today. Today there
seemed to be about a thousand more ducks on the water than
yesterday....Payne's Siding definitely has the most ducks on it of any
Delta County pond.
Also, I refound a White-throated Sparrow associating with Song Sparrows
that I first saw yesterday at the s. end of the lake.
I'm sure there have been more reports of this species this Fall than
ever before on the W. Slope. Does this make it an erruptive year?
Permission has not been granted to go through the gate at the s. end so
it would be better to scope from the road rather than cross through the
gate to access the dam.
I spent a few hours at Sweitzer today. The only bird of interest was a
merlin close to where I had a peregrine last week. I believe a prairie
falcon was also reported there recently and there is a kestrel that
hangs around the dam vicinity. I'd say this would be the place to go see
falcons in Delta County this Fall.
I walked the ditch road around the lake and cannot recommend it highly
enough. It's beautiful, it's birdy and at least the 3 times I have
walked there, it was devoid of human sounds...enjoy!
A train wait at the e. end of hwy 92 approaching Hotchkiss became more
pleasant as I scoped a Prairie Falcon on a nearby pole.
good birding,
andrea robinsong

From programmer Michael Birken comes a new way of drawing video game characters that is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but all the more incredible for it. Birken has designed an algorithm that can place single blocks of color in Tetris by strategically building and destroying lines at lightning speed. Precisely place enough blocks, and you've got a made to order line. Stack enough lines and the result is a pixellated picture of...well, anything you want, in principle, though Birken started off training the program to build images of classic 8-bit characters like Mario, Link, and Samus. As you might expect, the process that makes it happen is bafflingly complex, but the results -- as seen in this video -- are stunning.Read More

Please suggest plants for Mass....Northern grower
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few hardy plants that would do well in my bog I created yesterday?
I would also love to know of a place that sells them for a good price.
I would love to leave them outdoors all winter and grow them as perennials/
Sometime I get a winter that is a zone 6, then I could get one here and there as if I am in zone 5.
Thanks so much!
you'd actually be suprised what you can get to make it through the winter. I have an in ground bog. I got D. filliformis, intermedia, rotundifolia, Dionea, S. Judith Hindle, and S. Diana's Delight with heavy mulching. W/out (which was stupid of me) mulching I got some Oreophila hybrids, S. flava, and Scarlet Belle to pull through, with S. leuco, Dionea, and a flava/alata as casualties. This is an experiment in progress for me the past two winters here on Iowa (z5).

If I add dme to my beer do i need to boil it?? i see on you tube guys just adding hot water and mixing everything together adding yeast and they are done.
Personally, I boil it for at least a few minutes. I feel a bit safer from contamination/infection when things are boiled. Are you talking about for a starter or for beer? If it is for a starter, the nice thing about boiling it within the container (such as a flask) is that you can sanitize both the liquid and the container at the same time and just put some foil on top (no star-san needed!).
Assuming you are adding it to an already hopped partial boil - adding it right at the end of the boil is fine. Mix it well and let it sit for 10 minutes to sanitize - like dbsmith says better to be on the safe side.
Boiling it is fine, too....mix well and careful not to scorch.
I always try to err on the safe side. Boil for 20 min.

Henry Hank J. Lukes
, 93, died March 19th, 2015
Henry (Hank) John Lukes, longtime resident of Neillsville, WI passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2015 while residing in the Neillsville Care and Rehabilitation center.
Henry was born on September 14, 1922 to Anton and Johanna Lukes in New Lisbon, WI. He was raised in New Lisbon and attended New Lisbon High School where he made his mark in athletics. Henry was inducted into the New Lisbon Hall of Fame which he shared with his family one glorious evening in the fall of 2007 in New Lisbon, WI. He attended the LaCrosse State Teachers College until his enlistment in the United States Air Force in 1942 where he rose to the rank of Gunner-Technician Sergeant. He was deployed to Italy where he was a veteran of 48 missions as a waist gunner on a B-24 bomber. On mission 48, Henry and his crew were shot down over Yugoslavia when their bomber was crippled by enemy flak. He was separated from the rest of his crew and was taken in by a group of loyal Partisan supporters. The crew was reunited within 24 hours and then they all began the long journey back to Italy during which the crew was shuttled between barns, hay lofts, sheds and homes via ox-carts. The courageous Partisans shared all they had with the crew even though they knew that they would be shot if found helping any Americans. That was to be the last war mission flown by him as he and his crew were returned stateside after their harrowing adventure. Henry was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Four Oak Leaf Clusters, the Mediterranean Theater of War ribbon with three bronze stars along with a good conduct and American Theater of War ribbon. One of the Oak Leaf Clusters was awarded to him for shooting down a German Messerschmitt 109. According to Henry I didnt have much time to shoot, guess I was lucky to hit him. After the war, Henry returned home to finish his degree at LaCrosse and marry his high school sweetheart, Charlotte Gibson, on June 11, 1946. Henry and Charlotte moved around to LaCrosse and Janesville before settling down to raise their family of three in Neillsville. Henry began teaching Physical Education and Economics at Neillsville High School while pulling double duty as a coach of any type of athletics which were offered at that time. He made his mark in the basketball arena where numerous teams advanced deep into the playoffs only to fall short to the larger towns in the one class system. He often lamented that if they hadnt kept running into the Eau Claire teams, they would have made it to the big dance at the state tournaments. Henry spent his summers at Stout University picking up his Masters degree in Education. He left coaching to take on the role of Guidance Counselor and then finished his career as the principal of Neillsville High School until his retirement on June 15, 1984. Henry enjoyed all things athletic throughout his life. He spent many an hour at the golf course and even scored a hole in one during one of his rounds. It is unclear whether he fulfilled his obligation of buying everyone in the clubhouse a drink afterwards. He was very adept at shooting a basketball and won many a game of HORSE in the backyard with his deadly one handed set shot. He still had a nasty curve ball throughout his later years and could still snap one off even in his 70s. He found peace and quiet on the lake with his fishing pole (making numerous trips to Canada) and was known to knock down a pheasant or two. His deer hunting exploits were legendary in that for all the many years he went to deer camp he never bagged a buck or doe. There were rumors that he never shot his gun and some rumors that it never left its case, but the time spent with his hunting buddies was very precious to him. Charlotte always said he never had the heart to shoot a Bambi deer. Henry enjoyed playing cards with the boys on Monday nights after Rotary club and also Wednesday nights after golfing, although his coin bag never seemed to be overflowing with winnings. All were welcomed in Henry and Charlottes home and often were greeted with one of his brandy Old-Fashioneds and visitors never left their home with an empty stomach. Hank and Char were inseparable during their retirement years and were totally devoted to each other and their family. They rarely missed an athletic event that their grandchildren were involved in and they lived and breathed in the successes and joys that their grandkids achieved. Hank and Char spent twenty plus winter years down in Florida with their transplanted Neillsville friends with their home open to any who wished to visit.
Henry was preceded in death by the love of his life, Charlotte, who passed in December of 2013. Life was never quite the same for him after the loss of his partner. Henry was the last surviving sibling of a family of six. He is survived by daughter Anne (Gary) of Cannon Falls, MN; sons Thomas (Nancy) of Reedsburg, WI and Gary (Ruth) of Spring Valley, WI; nine grandchildren, Lori, Jennifer, Autumn, Anna, Lauren, Casie Leigh, Dayn, Dylan, Drew and five great grandchildren, Nicole, Grant, Gabe, Falon and Adalynn.
A Memorial Service will be conducted at the Gesche Funeral Home on Saturday, March 29.
Visitation will be from 9 AM 11:30 AM with service to follow at the funeral home.
Refreshments will follow at the Neillsville Country Club after a short graveside service. The family will conduct the service with music provided by Drew Lukes. Memorials can be made to an educational scholarship fund that will be set up by the family in honor of Henry and Charlotte at Neillsville High School.
Pall bearers/Honorary Pall bearers are Chuck Glassbrenner, John Tomesek, William Lukes, Greg Hepola, Craig Mara, Grant Mara, Dayn and Dylan and Drew Lukes, Dan Patey, Benny Urlaub, Joe Urban and Lowell Gesche.

Deveda Plummer
, 93, died March 15th, 2015
Deveda Irene Plummer, age 93, went home to our Heavenly Father on Sunday, March 15, 2015 at Pine Ridge Assisted Living, Colby, WI.
Deveda began life during a blizzard at 1:00am January 12, 1922, on the family farm in the Town of Lucas, Dunn County, WI, the only child of the late Henry and Leona (Styer) Galgusch. She married Byron Frank Barney Plummer July 26, 1941 in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Menomonie, WI. Barney and Deveda made their home in Menomonie until Barneys induction into the U.S. Army on January 7, 1943 during WWII. While her husband fought the war in Burma, Deveda did her part on the home front and worked at the Signal Battery war plant in Milwaukee making batteries for military 2-way radios. Barney and Deveda bought a farm at rural Granton, WI after Barney returned home after the war, raised a family, and shared their life together on the farm until Barneys passing on January 16, 1997.
Deveda loved spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed dancing, gardening, animals, the nature God created, and most of all horses her entire life still being in the saddle at age 89 despite her failing eyesight. She often spoke of her grandfather who was a trooper in the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry during the Civil War, his escapades, and wounds he received.
Devedas mind stayed sharp as a tack until the end and she possessed a quick wit, a good sense of humor, and an unshakable faith. Her failed eyesight in later years was a difficult condition to endure, but with strength of mind and faith in God, courageously endure she did. Deveda did her best to greet all who called upon her with a lighthearted smile and was loved by all.
Deveda leaves behind two children, Boyd (Sandee) Plummer, rural Owen, and Sandy (Ronald) Post, rural Marshfield, nine grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, six great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many friends.
She was preceded in death, but is now reunited with her parents, her husband Barney, son Charles Plummer, daughter Karey Kolbo, grandson Jimmie Fay, and two great- grandsons Derek Post, Sr. and Gabriel Prekezes.
Ride on cowgirl, happy trails. Bye, bye for now.

, 82, died March 8th, 2015
LAURENCE SUDA, age 82, of Greenwood, died on Sunday, March 8, 2015, at Sacred Heart Hospital, in Eau Claire, WI, surrounded by his loving family.

Visitation will be held at the church, on Friday from 9:30 am until time of service.
Laurence Suda was born on August 11, 1932, in the Town of Reseburg, rural Greenwood, to Vandy and Mary (Celesnik) Suda. He was raised in the Town of Reseburg where his family, along with Louie and Jenny Suda, co-owned and operated the Wildwood Cheese Factory until the time of sale. At that time, the family moved to a dairy farm in the Town of Reseburg. Laurence received his education at Reseburg State Graded School. He worked on the family farm until 1952, at which time he started his own farm. Laurence was united in marriage on June 21, 1955 to Gertrude R.

He loved his farm, cows, crops and must importantly, he loved his wife and his family. He enjoyed bowling, playing cards, woodworking, mowing his lawn (especially around his ponds). One of his greatest enjoyments was being able to go fishing. He would share his catches (smoked and pickled fish) with friends and neighbors. He loved gathering minnows from his ponds and making his own fishing lures, as they were his secret to catching so many fish, and using them in hopes of catching the big one. He enjoyed spending time at the house in Lake Holcombe with family and friends and sharing a toast of Leroux Blackberry Brandy with all. His love of fishing has been passed down to his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed growing his own garden and sharing the fruits of his labor with family. His grandchildren always put a smile on his face.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Gertrude, of Greenwood; 4 children: Douglas (Kim) Suda of Success, MO, Donnelle (Larry) Hodnett of Chippewa Falls, WI, Joel (Shari) Suda of Greenwood, WI, Glenn (Brandi) Suda of Flagstaff, AZ; 10 grandchildren: Jacob Bolden of Success, MO, Adam Suda of Success, MO, Aaron (Jessica) Hodnett and Heather Hodnett (Mark Olejnichak), both of Chippewa Falls, WI, Kaity Suda (Brettain Johnson) of Menomonie, WI, Cassie Suda (Mitchell Erickson) of Neillsville, WI, Derek Suda of Greenwood, WI, Taylor, Ethan and Ellie Suda of Flagstaff, AZ; 2 great-grandchildren; 2 brothers: Jim (Joanne) Suda and George (Bridget) Suda, both of Gurnee, IL; sister-in-law Elaine Suda of Zepher Hills, FL; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Ted; two sisters, Sylvia in infancy; Diane (Bob) Berndt; and one son, Loren, as well as many other relatives and friends.
The family requests, in lieu of flowers, memorials be directed to St. Marys Catholic Memorial Fund.

Zahana has recently hired Bary, a second gardener to work in the village of Fiadanana, the first project site where our participatory collaboration started in 2005. Bary is currently being trained by our original gardener in the second village (Fiarenana) and shows an equally amazing green thumb. Combined with great enthusiasm, Bary is planting and growing what he learned right away. We have the feeling we have some healthy growing competition going here and both gardeners are very active trying out new seeds and raising tree seedlings for their villages.
Bary decided to put his knowledge to good use revitalizing the school garden that fell dormant after the initial enthusiasm by the woman's group in 2006. He now actively involves the school children in the planting and tending of their garden. Learning to grow vegetables as part of their hands-on curriculum means the children are raising their future school food at the same time. The seventh communal faucet in Fiadanana was put all the way out in the schoolyard so children had access to clean, safe drinking water. A running faucet makes is possible to water the vegetable beds regularly in an environment that is quite dry and dusty, where water makes the difference between green or shriveled. They take great pride in watering their crops. The pictures speak for themselves. Please visit our website for additional pictures.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says restricted free agent running back Chris Ivory has signed his tender offer.
During his rookie season, when injuries to Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas led to an increase in his playing time, Ivory carried the ball 137 times for a team-leading 716 yards, and average of 5.2 yards per carry with five TD's.
Last season, he played in only six games with two starts, carrying 40 times for 217 yards and two touchdowns, including a 56-yard scoring run.
Ivory's one-year tender is worth about $2 million.

Upgrading from older DoubleWide
I have about an acre of land, with an older doublewide. I would like to purchase a new or at least newer home. What must I consider when looking? What would I do with the old home? What about my plumbing and all that? Do the homes have to be the same length/width?
Any advise would be helpful.
Two entirely different factors may control matters in replacing the existing home. One is technical, the other is regulatory. In my area, units made before July 1, 1976 may not be relocated. In other words, it must be left where it is or destroyed. Renovation is permitted. Technical problems are easily solved. Better educate yourself about the local regulations first. Local mobile home dealers probably can answer most of your initial questions.
We did exactly what you are pondering. I agree w/bus driver that the first things to check are the regs for your state and area. There could be set-back restrictions etc. The dealer from whom we purchased took away the older D/W we had, in fact it was one of the reasons we purchased from that dealer. They stuck it on their lot and sold it to someone else. In our case we did not have our old home on a foundation, so we had one built to match the new Home. In general whoever does the site work/foundation can deal with moving the plumbing as well. Just be VERY specific about what you want done, and make them stick to the contract. Shop around and get estimates.

At ProBikeKit USA, we pride ourselves on being experts in our field. We don't just want to bring you any old tire or inner tube, we want to make sure that you know you're getting the perfect one for your bike. With so many different choices: clincher tires, tubular tires, long-valve inner tubes, short-valve inner tubes and much more, it is important that you know all about the different variations before you buy.
Clincher tires are what you're likely to find on most rider's wheels these days, with an easy-access clincher feature allowing for hassle-free puncture repairs and quick changeover times, they're the convenient option for riders of all levels.
The tubular tire, on the other hand, is stitched or glued into the wheel to allow for a safe and secure attachment. This usually allows for a more streamlined, speedy tire. The downside here however, is that when a puncture strikes, it can be time-consuming and difficult to replace. The sort of cyclists who favour these however, are indoor track cyclists, as they aren't as at risk for punctures and they favour speed over anything else. So if you're a speed demon, and you'll put that above any other concerns, go for tubular.
At ProBikeKit USA, the brands we stock are Continental, Hutchinson, Schwalbe, Zipp, Michelin and many more. Shop tires and inner tubes on this page.
