The social basis of learning and knowledge building (Vygotsky 1978) is a widely held construct in both the academic community and among education curriculum developers and software platform designers. The present frenzy of social media networking among young people is testimony that we hunger for an audience to observe our daily lives and mediate our decision making about issues large and small. Technology is the perfect partner for accelerating communication and has opened a 'third space' where important social and academic needs can be met. Social constructivism, as a theory, stipulates that learning is mediated by collaboration with peers, adults, and tools in all kinds of contexts. Bridging personal and formal knowledge is the substrate of cognitive development and academic mastery. In the culturally diverse world in which students now live and learn, e-mail and Internet resources give access to information, discussion, and debate. These interactions, in turn, lead to the personal social construction of meaning and provide motivation to remain a part of the learning community. At Grade Results, the pedagogical philosophy that overlays instructional methods includes a commitment to serving diverse student populations, and the importance of creating a learning environment in which each student is given the opportunity to excel.
Instructional Method
The key instructional practices and major program elements of our program are high quality, research-based, and designed to increase student academic achievement. Grade Results instruction is based on "The Adaptive Control of Thought - Rational", or ACTR, created by John R. Anderson (1993) and others at Carnegie Mellon University. The theory suggests that knowledge is gained through the understanding of simple principles. Once students have learned these simple principles, they can master complex tasks. Grade Results students begin by taking a criterion-referenced pretest, and then work through lessons on the subject areas they struggled with in the pretest. All Math and English Language Arts lessons and assessments are aligned with the
Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
and contain rigorous instructional expectations that lead to student success in college, career, and life. All other academic content area lessons are directly aligned to specific state standards. Grade Results assessments follow the each State's blueprint thus correlating with required State assessments leading to higher student achievement and predicted future success. The students have access to a live instructor for any concepts they cannot master on their own.The sessions contain the information or declarative knowledge that the student needs to learn. As students work through the lessons, they can draw upon their knowledge of past lessons to build their skills.
Our program is based on a unique diagnostic/prescriptive methodology that aligns with:
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and International Reading Association (IRA) standards, as well as to the findings of the National Reading Panel Our instructional curriculum also addresses the components of reading instruction identified by the National Reading Panel: phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, and fluency through guided oral reading, silent reading, vocabulary fortification, and comprehension.

Osogbo — The Ijaw people of Warri-North Local Government Area of Delta State have called on President Goodluck Jonathan to come to their aide and rescue them from what they described as marginalisation and discrimination.
In a statement by the Egbemas for Positive Change (EPC), the group alleged that since the creation of Warri-North Local Government Area in 1991, comprising of the Ijaws (Egbemas) and the Itsekiris with the headquarters at Koko, only the Itsekiris have been appointed into political offices.
In a statement signed by president of the Egbemas for Positive Change, Mr. Ebimene Fetimi,
secretary, Mr. Smart Yortor and Public Relations Officer, Mr. Major Atigbi, the group said, "The Itsekiris are the ones occupying all the positions. It is also on record that the Ijaws (Egbemas) are more than the Itsekiris in population, yet we are not represented."

Elderly Receive Less Life-Sustaining Treatment at End of Life
A study of nearly 10,000 adults hospitalized for life-threatening illnesses found that the elderly received less ventilator support, surgery and dialysis compared to younger patients (Article, p. 116).
Hospital Handwashing Rules Often Ignored
Workers in a Swiss teaching hospital complied with handwashing rules only 48 percent of the time, a study found (Brief Communications, p. 126). An editorial says that after 150 years of poor handwashing compliance, "it is time...to get serious about improving hand hygiene in hospitals." (Editorial, p. 153.)
Sedentary Lifestyle Increases Risk for Diabetes
A prospective study of 8,633 men found that those with low cardiorespiratory fitness had a higher risk for impaired fasting glucose and a 3.7 times increased risk for type 2 diabetes than men in a high-fitness group (Article, p. 89).
Group Proposes Ethical Principles To Be Shared by All Health Care Providers
An ad hoc group of international health care providers and management suggests ethical principles to guide delivery of health care (Medicine and Public Issues, p. 143). Although many professional associations have separate codes of ethics, the group feels modern health care needs a shared code to bring all players into a consistent moral framework. The group is asking for comment on the principles from health organizations of all kinds both in the U.S. and abroad.

The ship was luxurious, the educated guests were a pleasure to be with, the lecturers superb and accessible. Unless one experiences the Volga Dream with Smithsonian, he won't know the exquisite pleasure of listening to a lecture on Russian literature, while sitting in a fine lounge, watching the Russian countryside drift by.

Restriction limiting Grace Road ground to cricket to be lifted
Posted: March 31, 2014|
A legal restriction limiting how Leicestershire County Cricket Club can use its Grace Road ground is to be lifted.
A covenant imposed by Leicester City Council prevents the 10-acre site, in Aylestone, from being used for anything other than playing cricket.
However, the 50-year-old prohibition is set to be lifted, freeing up the club to make wider use of the ground in the hope of raising more cash.
City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: "The covenant on that ground prevents its use for anything other than cricket.
"It was established many decades ago to assure the ground was used for cricket and protect its status.
"Now, it gets in the way of the club flourishing.
"Removing it enables them to have the benefit of an unencumbered freehold and enables them to look at activities to help secure its future."
The lifting of the covenant chiefly allows the club to press ahead with its plans to build 14 apartments on the Milligan Road side of the ground, which will offer a steady rental income.
The lifting of the limitation could enable the club to sell the ground to developers in the future and relocate to a new site, though any building would need planning permission.
However, club chief executive Mike Siddal said they would not do that.
He said: "We want to remain at Grace Road. The covenant was put in place to keep us here and it would wrong of the club to say 'we're off' as soon as it is lifted.
"This is a good location and if we tried to replicate this elsewhere it would cost us between £15 million and £20 million.
"The only plan we have is for the apartments. That is in with the council and we expect a decision on that in April."
He said lifting the covenant would allow access to £1 million of England and Wales Cricket Board funding for the project.
The club chief executive said it was unlikely the Foxes would follow the lead of the city's football club in seeking to hold concerts to raise cash. He said: "We're in the middle of a residential area so we couldn't make any noise.
"We have to think about the potential damage to our pitch. We had it re-laid two years ago and it is still bedding in."

Missouri State Archives
Crack of the Pistol:
Dueling in 19th Century Missouri
Lesson Overview:
This lesson, developed by the Missouri State Archives for ninth through twelfth grade students, will instill student appreciation for original documents by introducing them to primary sources that teach about the role dueling played in the social and political dynamics of nineteenth century Missouri.
Students are provided images of an 1817 posting, an 1853 map of the dueling ground known as Bloody Island, and a challenge to a duel. Students will also view a set of documents relating to Abiel Leonard, an early Missouri lawyer convicted under a statute against dueling who later rose to prominence and served on the Supreme Court of Missouri. An accompanying copy of the Code Duello and narratives of political duels in Missouri will help students in their analysis of the relevant documents.
Instructional Procedures:
- Origins and Traditions of Dueling
- Glossary of Terms
- The Age of Political Duels
- A Brief Biography of Abiel Leonard
- Original Documents (may be viewed on-line or via PDF files)
- Original Document Worksheet
- Guided Discussion Questions
- Suggested Readings and Websites
- Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Social Studies
Frameworks and Social Studies Strands
Learning Goals:
- To engage students in an age-appropriate discussion of the tradition of dueling and the effect it might have had on the social and political dynamics of nineteenth century Missouri.
- To help students understand why some records are deemed to be of "permanent, historical value" to the state.
Learning Objectives:
After this unit, students will be able to:
- Define terms related to dueling.
- Trace the tradition of dueling in Missouri from territorial times to the antebellum period.
- List important political figures in Missouri who engaged in dueling.
- Develop a timeline of significant duels related to Missouri politics.
Lesson Plan:
Dueling Traditions:
Distribute copies of Origins and Traditions of Dueling and the Glossary of Terms. Either have the students read these quietly to themselves, or take turns reading aloud in groups. (You might also send this home the night before as homework).
Optional Vocabulary Activity: Ask students to mark glossary terms as they find the words in the text. (The first time a vocabulary word appears it will be italicized. Terms may appear multiple times.) Within their groups, students may divide up the vocabulary and write each word in a sentence. Once they have finished, go around the room and ask each group to share sentences. Lead a discussion of the relevancy of these words to the topic.
Give each group a copy of the Code Duello. Ask students to choose five "commandments" within the document that help illustrate the intent of the code or its function for insuring fairness and order. Ask groups to share choices and explain their selections. Have students underline examples within the code of the importance of etiquette and politeness in the nineteenth century (beg pardon, apology, etc.).
Distribute copies, project on an overhead, or have students view the 1817 Tharp Posting on a computer. Discuss the consequences of the Tharp posting as presented in the "Guided Discussion Questions." Ask students to imagine their name is on an offensive flyer that has been "posted" throughout the school, around town, or on the Internet. Have students journal reactions to the situation and possible resolutions or scenarios that might develop.
Political Duels
Read the introduction to The Age of Political Duels to the students and view a copy of the Bloody Island Map. The map image will be easier to navigate on a computer.
Provide students copies of A Brief Biography of Abiel Leonard to read.
Distribute copies of the original documents from the Abiel Leonard case (the 1822 Anti-dueling Statute, the Leonard sentence, and theAct for the relief of Abiel Leonard) or have students view them on a computer. The documents may be easier to see and navigate on the computer, if one is available for students.
Divide students into two teams and debate the final outcome of the Abiel Leonard case. Use the "Guided Discussion Questions," to facilitate the debate. Was this a fair verdict? Why or why not?
Have students take turns reading out loud the dueling narratives and history of Bloody Island contained in The Age of Political Duels. Refer to the Timeline of Missouri History to assist in understanding the political climate. Lead students in a discussion of dueling as a political tool using the"Guided Discussion Questions." Have students brainstorm ideas about modern methods for disagreeing with a political opponent, or resolving a conflict, or expressing differences in political views. Compare and contrast modern media availability with nineteenth century media.
Pass out copies and transcripts of the State of Missouri vs. Ira P. Nash original document or have students view them on a computer. The document may be easier to see and navigate on the computer, if one is available.
Explain to students that Nash was found guilty of a challenge to fight a duel and fined $100. Divide students into small groups and instruct groups to pretend they were on the jury. Groups need to find clues within the document that this was a challenge to duel, not an invitation to hunt. Instruct students to consider information gained from the Abiel Leonard case.
Bring groups together and share the clues that were found and how they indicate this was a challenge to duel. Discuss why Nash felt the need to disguise his challenge. (1822 Anti-dueling Statute)
In groups, ask students to complete their "Learning from Primary Sources: Original Document Worksheets," one for each original document. As this is a standard worksheet that can be adapted for usage with all original documents, some questions may be more relevant to the sources than others.
Bring all groups together in a discussion of what the documents can tell us about the practice of dueling in early Missouri, and what can be learned from these historical documents. Why are the documents important? Use the questions from the document worksheets to discuss the specific subject matter of each document. Refer to the "Histories" and the "Guided Discussion Questions," to delve into the possible impact of dueling on the social and political dynamics of nineteenth century Missouri.

it's been a long time since i've done sci-fi .. so it's more of a comeback for me..
i would certainly compare this one with the showstopper; in terms of detail, look and feel ..
done using photoshop cs3, it took almost two and a half months to complete, mainly because of work schedule;
technical -
lots and lots of layer blending, pen tool for the shapes, warping and distortion for reflections, smudging for clean up ( pesky color banding ) dodge and burn tool for few highlights and shadows..
but again, i used various shapes to get specific shadows and highlights..
photoshop loves to eat up memory, for which scratch disk is of major concern, i had to flatten the image three times to add details ..
also, since i use the mouse, creating each and every shape tested my patience to the core. But in the end, it was worth it ...
i hope i nailed the look and feel .. i love sci-fi
get the 4k version here :
the actual size is 7212 x 4167 ..
thank you all for your time
god bless!
.. < .. a life less ordinary .. > ..

I don't use the word "pretty" very often but this is just pretty. I Love the flares, atmosphere, design and rendering. I can see why you had to keep flattening the layers though, poor Photoshop didn't stand a chance. ;]

Welcome to Recipe Round-Up #1! I got an idea today while I was on Pinterest. By the way, is it bad that every one of my posts mentions Pinterest? I can't help it, I'm obsessed!
Well anywho, I realized that my "Food" board has around 347 pins as of today. I'm sure tomorrow it'll have more because I pin a lot of food. I began to feel sorry for all the pins way down at the bottom of my Food board because let's face it, who wants to scroll down and wait for Pinterest to "fetch pins" 10 times just to get to the bottom?? Not me!!
So I decided it would be a great idea to do a Recipe Round-Up and honor those pins every once in a while! In order to differentiate between Round-Ups, I'm going to have themes. I chose today's lemon theme as a goodbye to summer. One last hurrah!

Ok, turns out I'm not as stubborn as I thought and I'm easily persuaded to change plans and priorities. I didn't want to put the car on the right because I had a stronger and much much easier mounting system on the left side. After pondering the traffic topic I decided to get my head in the game and make it work. Here is what I came up with. What do you think? I also spaced out the lower mounts a little more as mentioned above. Thanks for the comments... please keep them coming.
Lower sub frame is 1.75" .120 wall and the upper 1.25" .120 tubing. Lower rear mount will be braced but didn't get to that today.
She is ready! Turns out I don't work fast enough for her. Frame is 1.75" .120 tubing. Track width should work out to around 44-45". Good??
This is the mount in question. It is behind the oil cooler and only uses that one oil cooler bolt. The bars in the first picture that tie the whole "upper" frame together are only there to give this mount longitudinal and vertical support. I believe it will be strong enough, but don't really know about the forces involved with moderate offroading of a sidecar. Please weigh in... especially if you are a sidecar builder!

I'm not contesting the choose of the art designs, i find them all great and i know that they are with more experience of me and i have to learn a lot yet.
I'll right away clutch your rss as I can not to find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you have any?
hay day hack
Ahaa, its fastidious discussion regarding this post at this place at this website, I have read all that, so at this time me also commenting at this place.
how to hack clash of clans
pretty nice shirt, by the way, i just bought a cheap and power phone from china, this china phones are all much cheap than samsung,sony, i think it's a good choice, here you go cheap phones
it's my impression or more t-shirt are showed now in the diablo3 shop?
They are still choosing designs?
Im right with arthemysLunae.
It is quite disappointing to see fews creations from the same guy in the 20st, it was more interesting to see other artists, sowe had more choice and variety in the design …and where is Andrezao design ? Can't understand…
In any case cheers to all.
Ha ha ha!!!! Fixed prizes for fixed members! Oh and a star!
I probably won't participate in another DBH contest just looking at some of the selections left a sour taste in my mouth. a couple of the top 20 are nothing more than a 15 minute 2 color stamp that lack skill and interest.
@ArthemysLunae they obviously don't have the artist's eye to appreciate European designs! @Andrezao you will always be first for us!
@ArthemysLunae i agree with you :)
I'm not contesting the choose of the art designs, i find them all great and i know that they are with more experience of me and i have to learn a lot yet.
But i don't agree with the decision of putting 2 design from the same artist when will be place of other 3 artists.
Only that.
@Akosiabet i agree but its not just about taste. its about common sense maybe.. 1st and 2nd are neither the 20..
Different tastes = ''i prefer Diablo 2''...'' no, i prefer the 1'' ''oh noes, the 3 is the best''
Common taste = ''Diablo 3 is great but we miss so much the atmosphere that was in the first game, more than 10 years waiting to that''
it comes down to this. Humans have different tastes.
Ok..i understand that i'm a new be here anche most of the winners have more experience than me and i agree that are all great works but…
It was necessary to put more than one work by artist in the top 20?
I see now the shirt winners from 6th to 20th and i find out that MrRock, Pikkenwyinman and Wolfinger have 2 designs in the top 20!
I think is wrong….maybe other three talented guys could be in the top20 instead of the same artist with two different design….
ok, i don't win and i know i have to make some more experience, i am still in the Academy of Fine Art here in Italy but i don't agree with this thing.
703 votes to nothing lol
@Pollen Thanks :)
Uff..i'm not even in the top20…......
@ArthemysLunae check 20 winners here
Congratulation to all!!
Now i wanna know when the others from 6th to 20th will be revealed.
And i said from the very first time that @TamplierPainter will be the first! He has so great skills and his work his awesome!
An obvious winner as @wotto had stated and predicted 2 months ago: @TamplierPainter – Nice of you to join the party. I am a big fan of your work. This art is epic and printable, with some half-toning from our separator this would make a very nice tee. I'd probably use 3 reds, 2 oranges, white, 3 browns and a yellow and a green to capture this. Congratulations to all!!!

Ever since SandForce introduced data reduction technology with the DuraWrite™ feature in 2009, some users have been confused about how it works and questioned whether it delivers the benefits we claim. Some even believe there are downsides to using DuraWrite with an SSD. In this blog, I will dispel those misconceptions.
Data reduction technology refresher
Four of my previous blogs cover the many advantages of using data reduction technology like DuraWrite:
In a nutshell, data reduction technology reduces the size of data written to the flash memory, but returns 100% of the original data when reading it back from the flash. This reduction in the required storage space helps accelerate reads and writes, extend the life of the flash and increase the dynamic over provisioning (OP).
What is incompressible data?
Data is incompressible when data reduction technology is unable to reduce the size of a dataset – in which case the technology offers no benefit for the user. File types that are altogether or mostly incompressible include MPEG, JPEG, ZIP and encrypted files. However, data reduction technology is applied to an entire SSD, so the free space resulting from the smaller, compressed files increases OP for all file types, even incompressible files.
The images below help illustrate this process. The image on the left represents a standard SSD 256GB SSD filled to about 80% capacity with a typical operating system, applications and user data. The remaining 20% of free space is automatically used by the SSD as dynamic OP. The image on the right shows how the same data stored on a data reduction-capable SSD can nearly double the available OP for the SSD because the operating system, applications and half of the user data can be reduced in this example.
Why is dynamic OP so important?
OP is the lifeblood of a flash memory-based SSD (nearly all of them available today). Without OP the SSD could not operate. Allocating more space for OP increases an SSD's performance and endurance, as well as reduces it power consumption. In the illustrations above, both SSDs are storing about 30% of user data as incompressible files like MPEG movies and JPG images. As I mentioned, data reduction technology can't compress those files, but the rest of the data can be reduced. The result is the SSD with data reduction delivers higher overall performance than the standard SSD even with incompressible data.
Misconception 1: Data reduction technology is a trick
There's no trickery with data reduction technology. The process is simple: It reduces the size of data differently depending on the content, increasing SSD speed and endurance.
Misconception 2: Users with movie, picture, and audio files will not benefit from data reduction
As illustrated above, as long as an operating system and other applications are stored on the SSD, there will be at least some increase in dynamic OP and performance despite the incompressible files.
Misconception 3: Testing with all incompressible data delivers worst-case performance
Given that a typical SSD stores an operating system, programs and other data files, an SSD test that writes only incompressible data to the device would underestimate the performance of the SSD in user deployments.
Data reduction technology delivers
Data reduction technology, like LSI® SandForce® DuraWrite, is often misunderstood to the point that users believe they would be better off without it. The truth is, with data reduction technology, nearly every user will see performance and endurance gains with their SSD regardless of how much incompressible data is stored.

Last week at LSI's annual Accelerating Innovation Summit (AIS) the company took the wraps off a vision that should lead its technical direction for the next few years.
The LSI keynote featured a video of three situations as they might evolve in the future:
I'll focus on just one of these to show how LSI expects the future to develop. In the bicycle accident scenario, a businessman falls to the ground while riding a bicycle in a foreign country. Security cameras that have been upgraded to understand what they see notify an emergency services agency which sends an ambulance to the scene. The paramedic performs a retinal scan on the victim, using it to retrieve his medical records, including his DNA sequence, from the web.
The businessman's wearable body monitoring system also communicates with the paramedic's instruments to share his vital signs. All of this information is used by cloud-based computers to determine a course of action which, in the video, requires an injection that has been custom-tuned to the victim's current situation, his medical history, and his genetic makeup.
That's a pretty tall order, and it will require several advances in the state of the art, but LSI is using this and other scenarios to work with its clients and translate this vision into the products of the future.
What are the key requirements to make this happen? Talwalkar told the audience that we need to create a society that is supported by preventive, predictive and assisted analytics to move in a direction where the general welfare is assisted by all that the Internet and advanced computing have to offer. Since data is growing at an exponential rate, he argued that this will require the instant retrieval of interlinked data objects at scale. Everything that is key to solving the task must be immediately available, and must be quickly analyzed to provide a solution to the problem at hand. The key will be the ability to process interlinked pieces of data that have not been previously structured to handle any particular situation.
To achieve this we will need larger-scale computing resources than are currently available, all closely interconnected, that all operate at very high speeds. LSI hopes to tap into these needs through its strengths in networking and communications chips for the communications, its HDD and server and storage connectivity array chips and boards for large-scale data, and its flash controller memory and PCIe SSD expertise for high performance.
LSI brought to AIS several of the customers and partners it is working with using to develop these technologies. Speakers from Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Toshiba, Ericsson and others showed how they are working with LSI's various technologies to improve the performance of their own systems. On the exhibition floor booths from LSI and many of its clients demonstrated new technologies that performed everything from high-speed stock market analysis to fast flash management.
It's pretty exciting to see a company that has a clear vision of its future and is committed to moving its entire ecosystem ahead to make that happen and help companies manage their business more effectively during what LSI calls the "Datacentric Era." LSI has certainly put a lot of effort into creating a vision and determining where its talents can be brought to bear to improve our lives in the future.

The lifeblood of any online retailer is the speed of its IT infrastructure. Shoppers aren't infinitely patient. Sluggish infrastructure performance can make shoppers wait precious seconds longer than they can stand, sending them fleeing to other sites for a faster purchase. Our federal government's halting rollout of the Health Insurance Marketplace website is a glaring example of what can happen when IT infrastructure isn't solid. A few bad user experiences that go viral can be damaging enough. Tens of thousands can be crippling.
In hyperscale datacenters, any number of problems including network issues, insufficient scaling and inconsistent management can undermine end users' experience. But one that hits home for me is the impact of slow storage on the performance of databases, where the data sits. With the database at the heart of all those online transactions, retailers can ill afford to have their tier of database servers operating at anything less than peak performance.
Slow storage undermines database performance
Typically, Web 2.0 and e-commerce companies run relational databases (RDBs) on these massive server-centric infrastructures. (Take a look at my blog last week to get a feel for the size of these hyperscale datacenter infrastructures). If you are running that many servers to support millions of users, you are likely using some kind of open-sourced RDB such as MySQL or other variations. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 likely retails around $30K per core but MSQL is free. But the performance of both, and most other relational databases, suffer immensely when transactions are retrieving data from storage (or disk). You can only throw so much RAM and CPU power at the performance problem … sooner rather than later you have to deal with slow storage.
Almost everyone in industry – Web 2.0, cloud, hyperscale and other providers of massive database infrastructures – is lining up to solve this problem the best way they can. How? By deploying flash as the sole storage for database servers and applications. But is low-latency flash enough? For sheer performance it beats rotational disk hands down. But … even flash storage has its limitations, most notably when you are trying to drive ultra-low latencies for write IOs. Most IO accesses by RDBs, which do the transactional processing, are a mix or read/writes to the storage. Specifically, the mix is 70%/30% reads/writes. These are also typically low q-depth accesses (less than 4). It is those writes that can really slow things down.
PCIe flash reduces write latencies
The good news is that the right PCIe flash technology in the mix can solve the slowdowns. Some interesting PCIe flash technologies designed to tackle this latency problem are on display at AIS this week. DRAM and in particular NVDRAM are being deployed as a tier in front of flash to really tackle those nasty write latencies.
Among other demos, we're showing how a Nytro™ 6000 series PCIe flash card helps solve the MySQL database performance issues. The typical response time for a small data read (this is what the database will see for a Database IO) from an HDD is 5ms. Flash-based devices such as the Nytro WarpDrive® card can complete the same read in less than 50μs on average during testing, an improvement of several orders-of-magnitude in response time. This response time translates to getting much higher transactions out of the same infrastructure – but with less space (flash is denser) and a lot less power (flash consumes a lot lower power than HDDs).
We're also showing the Nytro 7000 series PCIe flash cards. They reach even lower write latencies than the 6000 series and very low q-depths. The 7000 series cards also provide DRAM buffering while maintaining data-integrity even in the event of a power loss.
For online retailers and other businesses, higher database speeds mean more than just faster transactions. They can help keep those cash registers ringing.

Back in the 1990s, a new paradigm was forced into space exploration. NASA faced big cost cuts. But grand ambitions for missions to Mars were still on its mind. The problem was it couldn't dream and spend big. So the NASA mantra became "faster, better, cheaper." The idea was that the agency could slash costs while still carrying out a wide variety of programs and space missions. This led to some radical rethinks, and some fantastically successful programs that had very outside-the-box solutions. (Bouncing Mars landers anyone?)
That probably sounds familiar to any IT admin. And that spirit is alive at LSI's AIS – The Accelerating Innovation Summit, which is our annual congress of customers and industry pros, coming up Nov. 20-21 in San Jose. Like the people at Mission Control, they all want to make big things happen… without spending too much.
Take technology and line of business professionals. They need to speed up critical business applications. A lot. Or IT staff for enterprise and mobile networks, who must deliver more work to support the ever-growing number of users, devices and virtualized machines that depend on them. Or consider mega datacenter and cloud service providers, whose customers demand the highest levels of service, yet get that service for free. Or datacenter architects and managers, who need servers, storage and networks to run at ever-greater efficiency even as they grow capability exponentially.
(LSI has been working on many solutions to these problems, some of which I spoke about in this blog.)
It's all about moving data faster, better, and cheaper. If NASA could do it, we can too. In that vein, here's a look at some of the topics you can expect AIS to address around doing more work for fewer dollars:
And, I think you'll find some astounding products, demos, proof of concepts and future solutions in the showcase too – not just from LSI but from partners and fellow travelers in this industry. Hey – that's my favorite part. I can't wait to see people's reactions.
Since they rethought how to do business in 2002, NASA has embarked on nearly 60 Mars missions. Faster, better, cheaper. It can work here in IT too.

It may sound crazy, but hard disk drives (HDDs) do not have a delete command. Now we all know HDDs have a fixed capacity, so over time the older data must somehow get removed, right? Actually it is not removed, but overwritten. The operating system (OS) uses a reference table to track the locations (addresses) of all data on the HDD. This table tells the OS which spots on the HDD are used and which are free. When the OS or a user deletes a file from the system, the OS simply marks the corresponding spot in the table as free, making it available to store new data.
The HDD is told nothing about this change, and it does not need to know since it would not do anything with that information. When the OS is ready to store new data in that location, it just sends the data to the HDD and tells it to write to that spot, directly overwriting the prior data. It is simple and efficient, and no delete command is required.
Enter SSDs
However, with the advent of NAND flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) a new problem emerged. In my blog, Gassing up your SSD, I explain how NAND flash memory pages cannot be directly overwritten with new data, but must first be erased at the block level through a process called garbage collection (GC). I further describe how the SSD uses non-user space in the flash memory (over provisioning or OP) to improve performance and longevity of the SSD. In addition, any user space not consumed by the user becomes what we call dynamic over provisioning – dynamic because it changes as the amount of stored data changes.
When less data is stored by the user, the amount of dynamic OP increases, further improving performance and endurance. The problem I alluded to earlier is caused by the lack of a delete command. Without a delete command, every SSD will eventually fill up with data, both valid and invalid, eliminating any dynamic OP. The result would be the lowest possible performance at that factory OP level. So unlike HDDs, SSDs need to know what data is invalid in order to provide optimum performance and endurance.
Keeping your SSD TRIM
A number of years ago, the storage industry got together and developed a solution between the OS and the SSD by creating a new SATA command called TRIM. It is not a command that forces the SSD to immediately erase data like some people believe. Actually the TRIM command can be thought of as a message from the OS about what previously used addresses on the SSD are no longer holding valid data. The SSD takes those addresses and updates its own internal map of its flash memory to mark those locations as invalid. With this information, the SSD no longer moves that invalid data during the GC process, eliminating wasted time rewriting invalid data to new flash pages. It also reduces the number of write cycles on the flash, increasing the SSD's endurance. Another benefit of the TRIM command is that more space is available for dynamic OP.
Today, most current operating systems and SSDs support TRIM, and all SandForce Driven™ member SSDs have always supported TRIM. Note that most RAID environments do not support TRIM, although some RAID 0 configurations have claimed to support it. I have presented on this topic in detail previously. You can view the presentation in full here. In my next blog I will explain how there may be an alternate solution using SandForce Driven member SSDs.

My countryside: Alys Fowler
Idyllic days by Hampshire chalk streams as a child have given the gardening presenter a taste for English countryside wild swimming
'Life took place around the kitchen table in my childhood home. My parents had a large vegetable patch, so there was an abundance of food. I'd sit and shell what seemed like vast piles of beans and peas, while my mum made jam and chutney. She was always experimenting with flavours. Now I make my own preserves, stewing ripe berries with sugar, and crushing chillies with salt and vinegar to form homemade Tabasco. It's incredibly satisfying.
'One of my earliest memories of the countryside is paddling around in chalk streams near our home in Silchester in Hampshire. They bordered farmland and a wood, and I would spend hours there with our springer spaniel, while my siblings Rebecca and Jonny, who were a lot older than me, built tree houses. My parents never worried about my whereabouts because the dog knew when to head back for dinner, and I knew to follow her.
'That love of water is something I still have and I regularly go wild swimming. The River Stour in Stratford-upon-Avon is my favourite spot and it's just a short train journey from Birmingham, where I now live. Chucking yourself into cold water is thrilling, and I enjoy being outside of regimented public pools and surrounded by nature – you can look up at the sky and interact with the birds and insects.
'I live in a city, so my garden and allotment are a rural idyll of sorts that I can experience every day. They're such wonderful places to get lost in. I keep herbs and salads at home because they need the most attention, and vegetables including garlic and cabbages at the allotment. I'm very slapdash in my approach to growing and don't dig down, but build up, creating mounds of earth to plant into. This method aids water drainage and is cheaper than installing wooden beds. I'm also trialling using manure from a nearby stable to increase soil temperature and extend the sowing season – hopefully it will help to combat the unpredictable weather we've been having.
'Like most of us, I've had my fair share of horticultural disasters. I'll never forget the time my salad crop was decimated by a freak April hailstorm – I could only watch from a window as every lettuce leaf got flattened. Now I grow a diversity of plants so I have some alternatives to fall back on. Blight-free potatoes and perennials such as globe artichokes, which have an extensive root system, are reliable options.
'What I can't grow, I buy from independent shops and farmers' markets. Each mouthful we eat has an impact on the way in which British agriculture develops and the increase in the number of farms being run for supermarkets is something that worries me. I don't think everyone should grow their own necessarily, but being an informed and responsible consumer is important.
'I believe too many people use living in an urban area as an excuse to not follow a green lifestyle; there is a wealth of nature in our cities. In Birmingham, I probably have access to more parks and public spaces than I would if I lived in the countryside, surrounded by private farmland. I don't even need to leave the town to forage: not far from my doorstep I can pick almonds, Oregon grapes, Japanese quince and walnuts – ornamental species you'd struggle to find in rural areas. I gathered so many chestnuts one year that I had enough to grind into nut flour, which made delicious biscuits.
'We're fortunate to have such wonderful countryside to explore. I moved to the Midlands five years ago but am still discovering new places. I like to take a train from Birmingham to Stratford and stop off at the tiny rural stations on the way; I try a different one each time. I'll go for a walk, sometimes taking my husband and dog with me. Somehow, having to stick to a railway timetable to get home makes it all the more of an adventure.'

Kampala — MPs testifying before the disciplinary committee have blamed the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga and the Government Chief Whip, Kasule Lumumba, for the oil Bill debate chaos.
On Wednesday, MP Odo Tayebwa told the committee, chaired by Fox Odoi, that the debate degenerated into chaos after the Speaker failed to take control.
"I wish she could also be summoned to appear before this committee. She failed to control the House," Odo said, to the amusement of the members.
He said what happened did not warrant an investigation because it was normal.
"That was normal. Members just stood up and shouted 'No vote' while others shouted 'We vote'. Everyone was charged because of the topic that was being discussed. Most members stood up or shouted because they wanted to capture the eye of the Speaker," he said.
But committee members insisted that what happened was not normal because it violated the rules of procedure which demand that members should not clap, shout or speak when the Speaker is talking.
Odo later apologised for "the wrongs" he may have done. He was captured on video shoving a colleague and at one point standing while the Speaker was talking.
Florence Kintu, also appearing before the same committee, said members on the Government side stood up after Kasule Lumumba signalled them to do so.
"After the opposition stood, I saw the Government Chief Whip gesturing to us to stand up. That is when everyone stood up and started shouting 'we vote' and 'no vote'. I also stood but later sat," she said.
Kintu told the committee that some of the members have been undisciplined.
She pointed out the late Butaleja Woman MP Cerenah Nebanda, who she said at one point pulled the ear of the Prime Minister during the debate and added that others stole the Vice-President's file.
When the committee asked her to name some of the undisciplined members, she requested to testify in camera.

A hotline for reporting waste and misuse of government resources refers callers to obsolete phone numbers and has no protections for shielding callers from retaliation, the Orange County Grand Jury concluded Thursday in a report.
Changes to the Orange County Fraud Hotline could make it a valuable resource for employees to anonymously report misuse of county funds, the jury said. But there are several problems.
Among them: Procedures for handling calls exist only in draft form; most county employees are unaware of the hotline; most calls are redirected to other agencies; and there is no coordination among similar waste-and-abuse hotlines operated by the risk management office and the district attorney. Orange County's internal Web page also includes no information about the hotline, which is intended for use by employees and the public.
The hotline was established three months before the county declared bankruptcy in 1994. It was shut down temporarily after the bankruptcy and reactivated in May 1996.

A powerful, athletic-style interval workout that includes momentary "freezes" within the exercise sequences. These well-planned pauses boost the intensity by eliminating momentum as they also force true mental concentration (with an almost zen-like focus). The short cardio segments are mostly high-impact; they range from kicks and jumps to squat thrusts and power jacks. The high-rep, often multi-muscle toning sections feature a huge variety of challenging modifications (eg pushup variations: elbow-knee pushups, spider pushups, full rotation pushups and jump-squat pushups). Lalo's one-on-one voiceover cuing is calm and purposeful. Includes an on-screen timer. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells.

Convoy system will keep traffic moving
Posted: June 13, 2012|
RESURFACING work is under way on part of a major route near Boston.
Set to be carried out 24-hours a day and last until Monday June 25, the work starts approximately one mile south of Bicker Bar roundabout down to Hipper Lane.
Motorists will not be able to use Broad Lane and Mill Lane to get onto the A17 although local access remains for residents.
Principal engineer Arthur Pearson said: "These improvements are being carried out to help ensure the roads are in a safe condition for motorists to use. No road can last forever.
"We will have a convoy system in place with traffic lights to keep people on the move but do allow extra time for your journey or find an alternative route."

Break over for RHS swimmers with meets in Park County
Jan 4, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
Riverton High School coach Jay Dayton is glad the holiday season is over for his swimmers.
Dayton said it was difficult for the Wolverines to be focused during the break from school.
"The way that Christmas and New Year's Day came on a Tuesday, we didn't get in as much practice as I would have liked," Dayton said. "We had a good core group that showed up and went to Laramie."
RHS sent 10 swimmers to the Laramie Invitational on Friday, Dec. 28.
"We are starting to have kids come around," Dayton said. "They are starting to perform right now."
Laramie performance
The Laramie Invitational had seven teams in the field, most of them from the eastern side of the state.
"Just for them to get in a good competition over that long break really helped," Dayton said.
Riverton's Eli Horyza was third in the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 2:11.12, and teamamte Travis Fisher placed seventh in 2:24.15.
Chade Hanson was eighth in the 50-yard freestyle in 25.22.
Horyza came in third in the 100-yard freestyle (51.78) and Hanson seventh (56.10).
Fisher added a fifth in the 100-yard backstroke (1:03.61). Matsen crossed the finish line sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:12.15).
"Tyler had a real good swim meet," Dayton said.
Riverton's 400-yard freestyle relay team of Fisher, Horyza, Hanson and Baylor Beers was third in 3:41.60.
"We get a good start with Eli," Dayton said. "Travis and Baylor both hold on. Chade brings it home."
When Hanson dived into the pool, the Wolverines were in the middle of the pack. Laramie won the title in 3:31.50 and Gillette was second (3:37.03).
The Wolverines participated in a small meet Friday at Cody.
RHS swims Saturday at the Powell Invitational.
"Those are really good meets for our guys to compete as a team because we can go up against Cody, Worland and Powell," Dayton said.
"We can get in there and get some wins and have some good team finishes."

What is the importance of body fat distribution?
The distribution of body fat in part
may determine the negative impact of obesity on your health. Specifically, the relationship between your waist measurement and your hip
measurement, called your waist-to-hip ratio, might play a role in your risk for health problems. If your waist-to-hip ratio is

Career Opportunities in Agriculture
Agriculture today is an exciting field within which many career paths can be pursued. The diversity of agriculture as a sector of our market economy is astounding. Careers in the basic sciences, biotechnology, animal science, agronomy, horticulture, dairy, poultry, beef, hay production, animal management, sales and marketing, viticulture and enology, food services, equipment sales and service, production agriculture, environmental science, organic production of foodstuffs, plant and animal breeding, and all types of further processing of raw agricultural food and fiber products are just a few of the many possibilities. Within NTCC's 8-county service area (Camp, Cass, Franklin, Hopkins, Morris, Titus, Upshur, and Wood) total gross agriculture sales approach $500 million, with poultry and eggs, milk, and beef holding the top three spots. If one considers gross agriculture sales for the entire State of Texas, this figure swells to more than $16 billion. As a segment of our national economy, it has been estimated that agriculture accounts for 16% of the Gross National Product.
