ATLANTA, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry, and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announce they are extending their relationship, with a new hardware and software agreement. The new agreement continues Travelport's ongoing program and investment in technology and includes upgrades to existing systems architecture and software infrastructure.
Through its newly extended relationship, Travelport will continue the transformation of its industry-leading technology platform to vastly increase the amount of information and transactions it processes, while delivering the most efficient next generation travel transaction processing system.
Commenting on developments, Gordon Wilson, President and CEO, Travelport, said: "This agreement extends a 35-year business relationship between Travelport and IBM. Using the latest IBM hardware, software and middleware allows us to support the more sophisticated functionality required by our customers and the continued growth of Travelport's business."
Specifically, Travelport is implementing a cluster of eight new IBM zEnterprise mainframes, a system designed to secure and manage critical information. zEnterprise will primarily be used to run Travelport's new IBM z/TPF transaction processing system, which enables extremely high transaction volumes and supports Services Oriented architecture (SOA) services that delivers travel reservation functions through multiple channels including mobile devices, kiosks, and the web. These improvements will benefit customers in all segments of the travel industry, while delivering the most efficient next generation travel transaction processing system.
The company's zEnterprise cluster will be integrated with IBM System x and Power System servers in a hybrid architecture. In addition, Travelport will run an IBM PureFlex system to provide the backbone of a system for its mission critical databases and applications. The elasticity of the system will allow it to quickly scale to meet fluctuating client demands during high-travel periods. Travelport will also use an integrated platform of IBM software including Websphere, Rational and Tivoli as well as IBM Smarter Storage solutions.
"While these transactions are invisible to most consumers, speed, reliability and flexibility are of the utmost importance in the travel industry," said Marty Salfen, General Manager, Travel & Transportation, IBM. "This agreement further demonstrates our mutual focus on supporting one of the most critical aspects of the travel industry as Travelport continues to introduce new services, while maintaining the travel industry's most resilient technology platform."

Container technology is sending shock waves through the world of cloud computing. Heralded as the 'next big thing,' containers provide software owners a consistent way to package their software and dependencies while infrastructure operators benefit from a standard way to deploy and run them. Containers present new challenges for tracking usage due to their dynamic nature. They can also be deployed to bare metal, virtual machines and various cloud platforms. How do software owners track the usag...

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

You often hear the two titles of "DevOps" and "Immutable Infrastructure" used independently. In his session at DevOps Summit, John Willis, Technical Evangelist for Docker, covered the union between the two topics and why this is important. He provided an overview of Immutable Infrastructure then showed how an Immutable Continuous Delivery pipeline can be applied as a best practice for "DevOps." He ended the session with some interesting case study examples.

Take the Long View with Digital Transformation By @IoT2040 | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #Microservices #InternetOfThings
Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

Modern DevOps Tool Kit By @Logentries and @NewRelic | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Containers #Microservices
Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever. But is interoperability something we simply start doing, or does it require a reexamination of our processes? And can we really improve our processes without first making interoperability a requirement for how we choose our tools?

The Internet of Things. Cloud. Big Data. Real-Time Analytics. To those who do not quite understand what these phrases mean (and let's be honest, that's likely to be a large portion of the world), words like "IoT" and "Big Data" are just buzzwords. The truth is, the Internet of Things encompasses much more than jargon and predictions of connected devices. According to Parker Trewin, Senior Director of Content and Communications of Aria Systems, "IoT is big news because it ups the ante: Reach out ...

Is Fairtrade coffee fair?
via WikiCommons
Choosing a cup of Fairtrade coffee may not be helping the poor in Ethiopia and Uganda, according to a new study.
After four years of field work in coffee, tea and flower industries, development economists from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London found that people working in ordinary agricultural conditions had a higher standard of living than workers who received Fairtrade subsidies.
Researchers gathered 1,700 surveys and conducted 100 interviews, and found that women's wages, in particular, were especially low among Fairtrade producers, and the SOAS research questions whether Fairtrade has had a positive impact.
Fairtrade works on the idea that workers who produce commodities with a lot of price volatility should be protected by imposing a minimum price, and that price adjusts when the market rises above a certain point. Workers are also paid 5-10 percent or "development and technical assistance," according to the Economist.
The Fairtrade Foundation points out that other recent research conducted by independent sources has documented Fairtrade's improvements to working conditions in places like Kenya, where workers have been granted sick leave, better contract terms and overtime pay. They also document improved standards of living like better housing, education and health conditions.
One reason for the findings may be that the research compares small-scale Fairtrade farmers with big plantations. "Its conclusions appear to be based on unfair and distorted comparisons between farms and organizations of dramatically different size, nature, and means," the Fairtrade Foundation said in a statement.
In "like-for-like" comparisons, Fairtrade farmers have been shown to have better conditions, the statement says, such as free meals, overtime pay and loan and wage advances.
"While we were given an opportunity to comment at an earlier stage in their report writing process, we are disappointed to see that the final report has not properly taken account of the many issues we raised," the statement says.

If you are seeing helicopters flying low over the Cranbrook in the next couple of weeks, do not be alarmed.
The City of Cranbrook has advised e-KNOW that Talon Helicopters, of Richmond, will be conducting low level flights over the city and a number of other municipalities in the province beginning June 15 through to June 30.

Framers who cart off materials may have valid explanation
Framers who cart off materials may have valid explanation
Barry Stone
Inman News
DEAR BARRY: I'm not sure if this is a question for you, but here goes. My son is having a house built. Yesterday, while approaching the location of the lot, I observed the house framers loading good pieces of plywood in their truck. Since this was at the end of the workday, I assume that they were taking the wood for their personal use. Is it legal for them to do this? Or should I report this action to the builder? --Joel
DEAR JOEL: There are other possible explanations for the framers having removed materials from the property. For example, the plywood they were loading may have been surplus that the builder intended to use on another project.
On the other hand, if your son purchased the plywood himself, then removal from the building site would be suspect. The only way to know for sure is to consult the builder and your son. Hopefully, everything is above board.
DEAR BARRY: I am a property manager with a client who has a maintenance contract with a termite company. They noted dry rot two years in a row, but the reports go to the owner, and she never asked us to get estimates for repairs. We do an annual inspection of pipes, smoke detectors, air filters, etc. We did not see the dry rot during our inspections. Now she is trying to hold us responsible for thousands of dollars in damage. What do you think? --Janet
DEAR JANET: If your client was receiving copies of the termite company's reports, she should have considered the information that was provided to her. If she chose to ignore that information, how can she now hold you responsible for the costly consequences of that choice, especially since she did not make those reports available to you?
In short, she has just pulled her head out of the ground and is holding you responsible for the proverbial sand that is in her ears and nostrils. The cost of ignoring a developing dry rot problem is something she should accept as a learning experience.
DEAR BARRY: We bought our home about 10 months ago. When the rainy season started, we noticed leaking under the patio door. Do you think we can get the sellers to fix it now? --Kal
DEAR KAL: In most cases, sellers don't want to hear about problems after the close of escrow. After 10 months, they probably regard their previous home and its various issues as forgotten history. You can make your request, but don't be too surprised if they refuse.
A typical seller response would be, "It never leaked when we owned the house." And unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, there may be no way to disprove that denial.
One thing to keep in mind is that homeownership involves a never-ending sequence of maintenance issues. Homeownership, in other words, is a hobby. Hopefully, this repair will not be an expensive one.

Ultra X4 850 Watt Full Modular Power Supply - Test ResultsThe Ultra X4 850 Watt PSU is 80 Plus rated, fully modular and has short circuit protection. Let's see if we can provide some insights to its value.
Test Results
Our load tests leverage a couple of FAST ATE active load testers and a variety of other equipment such as a hotbox, oscilloscope, power conditioner, temperature probe and a power consumption meter. You can read more about our standard testing approach here.
The tests being performed are based around six conceivable setups that are out there:-
- Test 1 is based around a "standard gaming system that would place a load of about 20%.
- Test 2 is delving into an entry-level sli setup, pulling about 50%.
- Test 3 starts going into an enthusiast's sli or crossfire setup, drawing a 65% load.
- Test 4 is for an SLi/Crossfire setup with high-end cards incl. 3-way arrangements pulling 100%.
- Test 5 takes the configuration for test four, but adds over clocking.
- Test 6 utilizes the maximum capacity of the testing equipment or the PSU; whichever is higher.
The test equipment pulls a max of 1000 Watts during these tests.
From my tests, this particular unit did achieve the efficiency being advertised. Unlike its larger, more powerful sibling, it evenly meets and in some cases nearly surpasses the Silver certification. Although it's important to keep in mind that different systems will yield different results, it's impressive to know that our unit had the efficiency to back the certification.

Westminster basketball: Griffins continue to roll with 75-40 win over LCSC
SALT LAKE CITY – The fifth-ranked Westminster College women's basketball team continued their dominance in Frontier Conference play with a 75-40 win over Lewis-Clark State on Saturday night in the Behnken Field House.
Westminster has now won 13 straight games and is 21-2 on the season. The Griffins are undefeated in league play with a 10-0 record and maintain a one-game lead in the conference race. Lewis-Clark State dropped to 6-18 and 3-7 in the league with the loss.
The Griffins scored the first seven points of the game and never trailed in the contest. The lead sat at 18-12 with 7:42 remaining in the first half when Westminster went on an 11-0 run that featured nine points from Nicole Yazzie. The Griffins closed the half with the final six points and led 40-20 at intermission by shooting 46.5 percent from the floor.
The second half opened with a 9-2 run to cap a 15-2 span over the two halves. LCSC only managed on instance of back-to-back baskets in the second half as the Griffins cruised to the win. This is the 11th time in the previous 12 games that the Griffins have held an opponent to less than 50 points.
Westminster finished at 44.8 percent from the floor with seven treys. The Griffins made 16-of-18 from the foul line (88.9 percent) and had a 26-10 advantage in points in the paint. They grabbed 39 rebounds to just 26 from LCSC and turned 16 offensive rebounds into 23 second chance points. Westminster limited the Warriors to 31.8 percent shooting and scored 23 points from 23 forced turnovers.
Yazzie led all scorers with 21 points for the second time this season that she reached the 20-point plateau. The senior shot 8-of-12 from the floor and made three of her five attempts from beyond the arc. She also had four assists and three rebounds. Cydney Tibbitts filled the stat sheet as she narrowly missed a triple-double. Tibbitts scored eight points with 12 rebounds, eight steals and five assists. The eight steals are tied for second-most in a game in school history.
Tia Pappas added 16 points to spark a 27-7 edge for the Griffins in bench scoring. She was 11-of-12 at the foul line and had five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Allie Eastman recorded 10 points, three assists and three steals.
Tanis Fuller led LCSC with nine points and eight rebounds while adding two assists and one blocked shot. Annie Kane and Ornela Bacchini scored eight points apiece.
Westminster will now take to the road for three weeks. The Griffins begin the trip on Feb. 9 when they travel to Dillon, Mont., to face Montana Western at 5:30 p.m.

What's Right About Obamacare?
Amid the political bombast, it's easy to forget why we needed health-care reform in the first place.
Amid the political bombast, it's easy to forget why we needed health-care reform in the first place.
Conception. Pregnancy. Abortion. Abortifacient.
Those words today are in a rhetorical swamp where contesting religious, medical, and political views muddy understanding. And soon the U.S. Supreme Court will wade in.
On March 25, it will hear challenges to the Affordable Care Act's provision that employers must provide insurance coverage with no co-pays for contraception.
Every time he goes to the doctor's office, Daniel Eddinger takes a leap of faith.
Eddinger, a 28-year-old father of two from Lexington, N.C., doesn't have health insurance.
But he's not worried about the cost of getting sick.
Instead of insurance, he says, he relies on God — and the help of other believers — to pay his medical bills.
This morning at breakfast, I was reading an article in the newspaper about how the Affordable Care Act is negatively affecting some individuals — especially those who buy their own insurance, rather than receiving it through an employer. The article was interesting, but what struck me the most was the way the problem was framed. Rather than approaching the story from a public policy angle, the article mainly focused on the reaction of consumers of health-care goods and services. The crux of the article was whether some individuals should be required to buy a product they might not want or need so that other individuals could have affordable access to health-care products they need desperately but might not be able to afford under the old regime.
The dilemma was presented as a story of tension between healthier consumers and less healthy consumers fighting to get the best deal for their health-care dollars. But could there be another way of thinking about health care, and about our society as a whole? Is there a framework that would allow us to consider these questions in a way that assumed connection, caring, and community between individuals, rather than the zero-sum competition of the market?
Yes, President Obama said that if we like our health insurance, we can keep it.
Yes, that turned out to be false for a few million people.
Yes, the president chose his words poorly. Whether or not health reform became the law of the land, there's no way any president could have known if we'd be able to keep our health insurance from one year to the next.
The theatrics around the Affordable Care Act seem only to be matched by the public's ignorance about what it actually is. Case in point: when late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel sent a reporter out on the street to ask people their opinions, they felt markedly better about the nuts and bolts of the Affordable Care Act than they did about Obamacare.
Never mind they're the same thing (sigh).
It seems that a handful of lawmakers have seen to it that our ignorance is sown into full-blown fear, obfuscating the fact that the shutdown – which was largely a fight over the ACA – cost our economy about $25 billion. For those who have been following even on a cursory level, the arguments against the ACA are becoming quite familiar:
· The individual mandate infringes on my freedom not to have insurance.
On this last point, we can only hope the critics are right, particularly since a single-payer health care system is the only model that has offered hard evidence of both covering everyone and reducing total costs. But since we're not there yet, let's consider what we do have with this new law.
It was a strange, but telling, spectacle when those who billed the government millions for working on its Affordable Health Care registration system denied any accountability for the portal's astounding failure.
"The other guy did it," as they say in court. The client kept changing specs, no one did any whole-system testing, other vendors are to blame — blah, blah, blah.
Whatever shred of truth lay in their blame-shifting ran up against another wall of non-accountability. The Republicans did it with their insane sequestration, said Democrats. The Democrats did it, said the GOP. Health and Human Services did it. The Oval Office did it.
In the end, of course, no one will accept accountability, for we live in an age when the "buck" never stops on one's own desk, if it stops at all.
Time was when a determined minority vowed to change the nation's collective mind about racial integration and the Vietnam War.
I was in that minority. We considered our cause just. We called our tactics "civil disobedience," "grass-roots organizing," "protest," "civil rights," "saving America."
It's a bit disingenuous now for us to lambaste a conservative minority for wanting the same leverage and for using the same tactics. "Civil disobedience" can't be relabeled "obstructionism" just because the other side is using it.
This morning a Canadian woman wrote such an interesting comment on an old post of mine, "Rationing is not a four-letter word," that I want to share it with you. I don't know the author, her full name (though she tells me her first name is LaVonne, so she's obviously a great person), or her contact information, so I can't give her full credit. But thanks, LaVonne-in-Canada: I learned a lot from you.
Here's what she wrote about how Canadian health care works for her. I've added a few comments in italics, in case you want to compare the situation of LaVonne-in-Canada with that of LaVonne-in-the-United-States.
As people of faith, we sometimes don't take time to prepare ourselves for what is ahead. With so many things vying for our time and attention, it is difficult to educate ourselves about all facets of critical matters. Even in our relationship with God, we gloss over important details that will guide us into a closer walk and become content with a distant half-hearted relationship. However, a casual walk with God is not one we should settle for. By delving into God's Word, we are able to draw upon God's wisdom for guidance and find a deeper relationship with God as we travel through this journey of life.
In a similar fashion, we cannot settle for casual knowledge of the Affordable Care Act, which is now upon us and "gives Americans unprecedented information about the health plan choices in their own communities." The Kaiser Family Foundation reports in a recent poll that 51 percent of all Americans are still unsure about how the ACA will affect them. 42 percent of Americans thought that Congress had overturned the act or that the Supreme Court had ruled it unconstitutional. And, many Americans worry that they will have to shell out more money due to the new health reform law. This uneasiness and misinformation certainly warrants a closer look as we journey through the multiple avenues of the Affordable Care Act.

Keppel FELS complete two rigs early for Transocean and Asia Offshore Drilling, earning a combined US$1.5-milliion bonus.
Over two consecutive days Keppel FELS held naming ceremonies for twin jackup rigs built for Transocean, and another jackup rig built for Asia Offshore Drilling (AOD), which is majority owned and managed by Seadrill Limited.
Transocean named twin Super B Class Bigfoot jackup rigs, Transocean Siam Driller and the yet to be completed Transocean Andaman, at a ceremony in Keppel FELS in the presence of Guest of Honour, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Customised to meet Transocean's requirements, the two rigs are contracted to Chevron for work in offshore Thailand. Transocean Siam Driller was handed to Transocean 22 days ahead of schedule at the end of January 2013, while Transocean Andaman's shipyard construction is expected to be completed in March 2013.
AOD, named its KFELS B Class jackup rig, AOD I.
