Specification of Letters latent. Patented Oct, 19,- 1920,
Application filed February a, 1920. Seria1 N o. 856,-586.'-
To all whomz't may concern:
Be it known that 1, DAVID ANRANNELLS, at
a citizen of the United States, residin Logan, in the county of Hocking and tate of Ohio, have invented certain new and use- :tul Improvements in Medical Appliances, of
plane substantially at right angles to the This'head member is furwhich the following is a specification.
This invention relates to medical appliances, and has particular reference to an improved appliance designed for the specific purpose of administering healing medicines to affected tissues ororgans of and adjacent to the genital canal.
Theinvention consistsin the provision of a device of the aforesaid character wherein is embodied a flexible tube structure which terminates in a relatively enlarged circular head member, the latter being of such formation as to permit a fibrous body to be detachably connected therewith, and to provide said head member with radiating and longitudinal passages, .whereby upon the proper positioning of the appliance, medicine may be introduced intov the tube struc-' ture and thence caused to flow through the passages of the head member and into'intimate engagement with the fibrous body, i n
order. that the afiected parts may I'BCEIVB medicinal applications from said body without involving the necessity of comparatively frequent removals of the appliance from its operative position, as has: been. the. prior practice. T
Another object of the inventionresidesin forming the. appliance in suchmanner and from such materials as .to insure its comfortable and convenient use, and to permit the same to be readily and thoroughly cleaned for sanitation maintaining means.
For a further and more complete understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 isa top plan view of the medicinal appliance comprising the present invention,
Fig. 2 1s a side elevation thereof,
Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken through the head member and connected parts, and
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
As shown in the drawing, the appliance 1 comprising the subject matter of the present invention, in its preferred form, consists of suitable length are flexible rubber tube 2, which is adapted to have its outer or free end 3 suitablyattachedto' a convenientport1on of the usersclothing. The inner end of w thetubet'erminates ordinarily in ac'ircular,(60
integral, head-member 4, whichoccupies a axisof the tube. ther formed. .to-embody. an outer enlarged disk shaped portion 5 and asecond inner disk portion 6, the latter beingof less diame+ ter than the'portion5fso that the peripheral wall. ofthe portion 6 will lie within the con-1.
fines ofithe said, portion.5.' Further, the head memberisprovided with a longitudinal mam passageway. 7, which is located in .di-
' rect communication with the bore of the tube 2.. Radial passageways 8 extend from the.
axial passagewayfi and terminate at-fthe peripheralwallor portion 6. The outlets of these passageways 7. arethuszprotected by the protruding.circumferential edge of theportion 6/ Thisarrangem'entis believed to be one of the salient features of the invention in that it insures a free and unintere rupted flow of a fluid through the appliance, particularly when the latterzis operatively positioned. 4
Asshown in Figs-2 and 3, the head member is adapted, to have abodyflof fibrous material, for example, raw cotton; detachably positioned thereabout,land in such man-.
' necting the fibrous body'or tampon 9 to the head member; however, a simple and practical method is to. merely pass one or more flexible rubber bands 10 around the inner portion of the body 9 so as to press the latter into firm engagement with the tube 2 at a position immediately beneath this head member. This construction results in securely positioning the fibrous body so as to prevent accidental dislocation when in service and yet enable the same to be easily and quickly renewed at proper interval of use.
When the services of the appliance or tampon are necessary, the physician in.attendance will be employed to properly position the sameincontiguous relationshipwith the;
affected organs, and this may be accomplished in such manner as topermitthe tube 2 to extend to a position ofconvenient accessibility, and to be received in any, suitable manner within the concealed clothing of the P t en y h st me ta y f iie tu e," it 'is obvious that the medicine employed in the treatment, may be readily. inserted into the tube, by means of a medicine dropper or other analogous device, and permitted to flow through the tube and thence outwardly chrough the passageways 7- and 8 into con-. tact with the body 9 and the affected parts. 1 The main advantage of the appliance resides in the fact that the atient may ad minister therequired medicmes without the services of the physician. In prior. practice it has been customary in the treatment of female disorders 'torequire the patient to makeffrequent visits tow'the physician for thepurposesof permitting the tampons to be replenished with the required medicines,
this he- By the present invention, however cessityhas been eliminated by enabling the patient to apply the medicines in an unaided manner and with the certainty that the application has been properly effected. The
services of'the physician, therefore, need only be employed to remove or'adjust the appliance which may occur relatively infrequently. Further, it has been my experience that, by reason of the convenient and self controlled feature of the: appliance, better results are to be obtained than when a patient is required upon individual volition tomakeirreg'ular calls upon a physician, this being due to the continuous effective application of the necessary medicines. It willibelobserved'that the outlets of the passageways 7 and 8 are within the confines of thehead portion 5-, so that an uninterrupted flow of the medicine into the absorbing cotton may take placewhen the appliance is activel positioned. Itwill therefore be apparent t at the present inventionprovides an effective device for the self treatmentand continuous application of remedial agents in the treatment of the uterus and vagina and particularly such disorders as endometriti's, vaginitis, fissures, lacerations,
erosions and other analogous female complaints.

What is yoga?
The word itself derives from the sanskrit root 'yuj' - which means to 'join' or to 'yoke'. By definition - it's an ancient discipline of physical exercises and self–study uniting the body, the mind and the spirit.
But – what IS yoga?
It's about coming out of the thinking mind and releasing into the body. It's about making space within. It's about strengthening and lengthening. It's about trusting. It's about feeling. It's about connecting. It's about listening and really hearing. It's about finding comfort in discomfort. It's about letting go. It's about stillness and motion. It's about breathing – inhaling and exhaling. It's about community and individuality. It's about simplicity and complexity. It's about duality. It's about gratitude. It's about grace. It's about 'being' and 'living' and 'seeing'.
It's about truly..madly..deeply trusting the process of personal transformation and the art of becoming.
It encompasses everything and all.
Yoga is a discipline. It's a practice. It's an art.
The practice of yoga is about the journey inwards. Of the self. Through the self. To the self.
What is yoga?
It's the study of you.

The Herald's 'Text in the City'
May 18th 2006 11:20
An article published in The Sydney Morning Herald in 2003 entitled Text and the city reported SMS may be the perfect tool for romantic texting, but it means flirting is no longer free. Sending such messages as C4U ("crazy for you") or W2BAI ("want to be an item?") will cost the sender up to 25 cents a time - a boon for the carriers, which have become the modern-day Cupids. Virgin Mobile, which estimates 70 per cent of its customers are under 30, charges only 10 cents when both the sender and the recipient are Virgin subscribers. In a recent "love poll", Virgin found 90 per cent of its teenage users flirt by texting, 53 per cent use SMS to ask someone out, and 25 per cent thought SMS would help them "score". Virgin has even released a guide to textual flirting: "The Joy of Text", and hosts regular SMS "love-in" events. In April, the telco will start a dedicated mobile phone dating service in the UK, Flirt Alert, similar to Vodafone's Luv Shack. A more sinister side to the developments, though, is the presence of mobile phone "stalkers": being pestered by someone sending unwanted advances.

I studied visual arts at the University of Idaho and earned my BA from The Evergreen State College (TESC) with an emphasis in studio art. I currently reside in California's Monterey Bay area where I am continuously developing my identity, presence, and portfolio as an artist. For me, creating abstract forms is an intuitive and incantatory process, a form of calculated improvisation. I describe my work in this way because I truly believe that I am escorting new forms of visual content into existence, rather than attempting to represent natural forms or to mimic the natural world. With each unique composition, I aim to provide viewers with a sensory experience that is visually captivating and prompting of contemplative introspection. I maintain my portfolio regularly, uploading new compositions daily at:

well, that was pretty awful, no?
And here I thought we could kill the west coast losing streak, no such luck Steelers fans. No. Such. Luck.
Those of you who actually missed watching the game and are just looking at box scores might be wondering why we're all freaking out. Well, don't let the 21-18 score, nor the pretty equal time of possession, nor the fact that Ben threw 29 for 45 for 275, 1 TD and 2 INTs compared to Terrell Pryer's 10/19 for 88 yards and 2 INT's. It was ugly. Trust me. When the QB opens the first down with a 93 yard rush and breaks TWO of Bo Jackson's records sprinting into the end zone, you know it's just going to be a bad day.
And the first half didn't get much better.
Neither did the second half.
Even with a Troy Polamalu interception.
And even with a Cortez Allen interception.
The mistakes were many. No one is immune. Even Suisham missed two key field goals that could have tied or won the game. But we all know there's no coulda, woulda, shoulda in football. And you can't blame him when there were other mistakes made, we shouldn't even been in the position to settle for 3 without others mistakes happening first. Still, if you are a kicker, you have one job. Though I will reserve my anger for those missed opportunities, becausee Suisham kicked a game winner last week. It happens.
The good things, though not many, were a few key plays late in the game. Specifically Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders had a few key plays (also had a couple drops here and there) to keep the Steelers in the game, including a 2 point conversion by Sanders.
Up next week - the Pats. Based on how they have been playing I can absolutely see the Steelers winning. Hopefully they watch film and come prepared.
To me, that's what's missing - preparation. I just don't see the Steelers being as prepared as they should be week after week. Whether it's reading defenses or preparing for the offensive schemes coming at them, they just look surprised half the time. In fact, today you would have thought they had never seen a read-option offense before. They have and they've successfully defended it, yet today, it was not noticeable.
Do better Steelers.
I still love you, but do better.
According to @PatMuldowney Todd Haley's philosophy goes something like this:
what do you think Steeler Nation?
Agree or Disagree?

Bangalore: A married youth has put his girlfriend's sex video on social networking sites and YouTube after she refused his marriage proposal.
The girl featured in the video is Soumya (name changed) a former beauty queen from Dharwad, and has also won state-level table tennis competitions.
According to the sources, the girl while she was doing her post-graduation from Karnataka University, she came in contact with Ashwath, a married man. They became intimate and toured the state on several occasions together.
After completing her studies, Soumya moved to Karwar and cut off all ties with Ashwath. She also changed her mobile number, following which Ashwath tried to track her. Finally in February, he managed to find her new number, spoke to her, and proposed to marry her. But Soumya refused because he was already married.

Hillary Clinton's AIPAC speech ended with a rhetorical flourish, reaching back to David Ben-Gurion to list the Israeli leaders who made "difficult but clear-eyed choices to pursue peace" by giving up land. Her final paragraph was an exhortation to continue this "tradition":
[F]or the state to flourish, this generation of Israelis must also take up the tradition and do what seems too dangerous, too hard, and too risky. And of this they can be absolutely sure: the United States and the American people will stand with you. We will share the risks and we will shoulder the burdens, as we face the future together.
It is extraordinary for a nation to advise another to do what seems "too dangerous, too hard, and too risky" — in reliance upon a promise of the first nation to "stand with" it and "share the risks" from far away.
Sometimes what seems too dangerous, too hard, and too risky is in fact too dangerous, hard, and risky. And sometimes you cannot be absolutely sure the United States will stand with you — ask Poland, Georgia, and the Czech Republic.
Or ask Ariel Sharon (if you could) about the Gaza disengagement, in which Israel turned over half the putative Palestinian state in one of those difficult but clear-eyed choices to pursue peace. As Bret Stephens notes in his column, the disengagement was done in exchange for a letter, signed by the president of the United States, containing explicit assurances (described in the letter as the "steadfast commitment" of the United States) about the positions the U.S. would take on (a) defensible borders and (b) the major Israeli settlements necessary to defend them. The commitment given in exchange for Israel's dangerous, hard, and risky action proved inoperative (or "unenforceable," as Hillary might say). This is not a tradition that any nation would want to repeat.
As Benjamin Netanyahu noted last night in his AIPAC speech, the strategic position of Israel is now comparable to that of New Jersey facing thousands of rockets both from its north and south (and its back to the sea), with more demands to give up land for "peace." Hillary Clinton might have used her speech at least to endorse the two minimal conditions for the "peace process" that Netanyahu has put forth: Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state, and demilitarization of any Palestinian one. Instead she chose a meaningless rhetorical commitment — one that would be relied upon only by a nation without a tradition of learning from history.

Milwaukee Hopes Cheese Brine Is Cheap Road De-Icer
By editor
Originally published on Wed December 25, 2013 5:04 pm
Good morning, I'm David Greene. Wisconsin knows this well: When you make more than two billion pounds of cheese a year, it creates the salty byproduct - cheese brine. Normally you discard it, but folks in Milwaukee had an idea. Why not use that salty stuff to de-ice roads? Local officials are especially excited about provolone and mozzarella with their high salt content. The city hopes more cheese brine and less rock salt will be cheaper and better for the environment, even if it means holding our noses. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

I was sailing in the Gulf of Mexico on June 6, the night that the Cynthia Woods, a racing sailboat belonging to Texas A&M University at Galveston, lost its keel and capsized, sending five crew members into roiling waters and trapping safety officer Roger Stone beneath its overturned hull. It was the first day of the biennial Regata de Amigos, covering 610 nautical miles from Galveston to Veracruz, in which our family sailboat, the Rosalita, was a participant. I have steered her in open waters after dark on more than a dozen occasions, but nothing prepared me for the conditions we encountered that night. After leaving the protected waters of Galveston Bay in the early afternoon, we ventured into a maelstrom of swells, later reported to be six to eight feet high, which assaulted our bow in unpredictable corkscrew patterns. Each time the Rosalita crested a wave, she would free-fall to the trough below, and we would be soaked anew. Heeling hard to starboard in 20-knot winds, our seven-person crew—me; my husband, Jeff; our two sons, ages 23 and 18; and their three young friends—took turns at the helm while the others sat high on the port side in a futile effort to stabilize the boat.
Darkness robbed us of our only defense against nausea: the reassuring sight of the horizon. One of the boys will forever provide my visual definition of misery: pathetic and shivering, curled in a fetal position and tethered by a safety harness at midship, moving only to throw up or duck the relentless waves. Dawn broke, but the high winds and massive waves continued unabated. None of us had dared to eat or drink much since noon the day before. To continue the race was to risk dehydration or worse. Our ship's computer calculated that we would have to endure at least three more nights like the previous one to reach Veracruz.
"How long would it take us to get to Port Aransas?" I asked Jeff. "Twelve hours," he said. After preparing for months for this trip, we changed course and gave up the race. While the rest of the crew lashed the Rosalita to the dock at Port Aransas, I called the mother of one of the boys and somewhat apologetically broke the news that we had withdrawn.
"You made the right decision," she said. It struck me that her tone of voice was unusually serious. And then she added, "The Cynthia Woods capsized and her crew is missing." My stomach felt sick again.
The ocean sailing community in Texas is a close-knit crowd. I was familiar with the Cynthia Woods and with A&M's offshore sailing team. Jeff and I had gotten to know another of its safety officer, Steven Conway, a retired Coast Guard commander who is an administrator at the Galveston campus, and a couple of its student crew members when we participated in this race two years ago. On the return trip, we had tied up next to the Cynthia Woods during a stop at the Mexican coastal town of Tuxpan. Jeff and I shared our overstocked bounty of candy and snacks with the students; Conway offered us portions of a fish he had caught and cooked. Before that race, I had been nervous about participating, but we were blessed with mild breezes and friendly seas. It was a gentle, if unrealistic, introduction to offshore cruising.
We knew early in the week of the race that this year would be different. Jeff had watched the weather forecast with increasing apprehension, and when we crossed the Kemah Bridge en route to the Lakewood Yacht Club, whitecaps and snapping flags bore witness to the strong winds. The weather data did not appease our fears. A large high-pressure system over Florida had combined with a strong low just north of Texas to accelerate the Gulf's prevailing southeasterly winds. The computer forecast told us we would face 20-knot winds and towering waves. Our course to Veracruz required that we sail both directly into the waves and just off the wind, in what sailors aptly describe as "beating into the wind."
We decided to give it a shot. As Jeff and the boys made final adjustments at our dock, I made sandwiches and, in a gesture of misplaced optimism, set out a pot of chicken chili for a sunset dinner. It was not to be. The medicine I relied upon to combat seasickness—meclizine—wasn't working in these seas. I could not face the chicken chili, and I knew that going below deck for any purpose would likely make me violently ill. A quick visit to the head induced spinning vertigo. No one was hungry. Sometime before midnight, I retreated to the steamy front cabin to attempt sleep.

Her Tears
Her green eyeshade is moisture of tears shed
long ago when she was young and in love,
now she sat in the foyer of her hotel like a fat
spider, unmoving but seeing and hearing all.
Dressed in black and in half-light diamonds
glittered her eyes and in the engagement
I gave her thirty years ago, she was beautiful
but spurned me for her father´s hotel.
Didn't want to be here where love had died
and only pot plants thrived; I needed a room,
wrote my name in a ledger paid in advance,
went for a drink. The woman was silent.

Acqua Tonica from San Pellegrino
I've been in mourning for those cute little bottles of Sanbitter soda that no one seems to carry anymore. But I stumbled across a San Pellegrino Acqua Tonica at Stop & Shop of all places. Comes in a six pack of glass bottles. Price closer to Schweppes than the boutique four packs at the natural foods places. I liked it. Was lovely with Mt. Gay. Not sure how it would hold up with Tanquerey, as it was a gentle sort of tonic water. Has anyone else tried it? I don't see it on the company's website, but maybe I just didn't look that hard.

Video looks good although the price of these things just seems a bit ridiculous - it's only a keyboard!
Belkin officially launches its Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad, thinnest keyboard case available
Belkin has officially announced the availability of is Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad. What's so special about this case? Well Belkin claims that it is the thinnest keyboard case available for the iPad coming in at just 6.4mm. It has been manufactured from a revolutionary aluminium alloy and magnets and weighs in at just 17 ounces.
"We believe the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case will reinvent the iPad user experience," says Jamie Elgie, senior director of product management at Belkin. "It gives the iPad all of the functionality of a laptop, while maintaining the sleek appeal of a tablet."
Featuring Belkin's award-winning TruType keys, the Ultimate Keyboard Case provides a smooth, laptop-like typing experience to minimize errors and maintain typing speed. It also offers a fully protective back cover to keep your iPad safe from scratches, scuffs and everyday wear and tear when the keyboard is attached.
The Ultimate Keyboard Case has some really nice features like fold flat hinges that let you fold the keyboard flat and allow you to use the iPad as a tablet without the need to remove the keyboard. It also incorporates Belkin's SoundFlow design which it claims will dramatically enhance the sound from the iPad's speakers.
The Ultimate Keyboard Case can be pre-ordered from Belikin today with shipping estimated to be sometime in May. The Ultimate Keyboard case will be available to suit either the black iPad at a cost of $99.99 or the white iPad which will set you back a little more at $129.99. It is compatable with the iPad 2, iPad third generation and iPad 4th generation.

Belkin officially launches its Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad, thinnest keyboard case available
Kudos to Belkin on such a beautiful job. They have managed to make it look feasible when in tablet mode only to exposed to even looking gorgeous when closed. At ~$130 this looks to be well worth it. I hope they have plans to release one for the iPad mini. Rene, any updates or mentions for a iPad mini do you know of? (@digitalhomeboy)
Yea, I would definitely be interested if they made one for the mini. I think that Logitech has one that is similar to this but not quite as nice for the same price available for both the iPad and iPad mini.
From the looks of the product it is going to be a top notch keyboard. However the price is a bit staggering especially the $40 difference between the black and white. Nonetheless I am sure they will sell plenty of these. Who knows perhaps forking over the money is a good and stylish investment. O'm sure that is what Belkin is counting on.
I still have difficulties with keyboards for ipads: I you absolutely need this (taking into accont you'll have a second device to charge, the annoyance of having bluetooth sucking your battery etc...) you'd better go with a 11" Macbook Air. The price gap with a solid ipad plus a 100$ keyboard is insignificant regarding the benefits.
Heck you don't have a touchscreen, but if you're using a keyboard it's because you're mainly dealing with text, where a touchscreen won't help anyway...
Couldn't agree more, Dredd67. The iPad + keyboard essentially makes it bigger than the MBA11 - but you still have to give up all the "pro" features that OSX offers vs. iOS.
Surface? No thanks. The only decent one is the pro and for the price might as well stick to iPad with keyboard case or MBA.
The keyboards don't impact the battery much. I start my day here at the office at 7am. Its 4pm. Ive been streaming Pandora all day. I go to my ipad for omnifocus and enter stuff and Im still at 84%
Im just commenting on the battery drainage comment. In no way am I endorsing one over the other as far as the 11" mac book.
This keyboard looks great. The biggest issue I've encountered with ipad keyboards is the fact that they're not as big as my fingers are used to. My hands are always cramped. That's why I always go back to the apple Bluetooth keyboard. I did invest on the cruxskunk through kickstarter which I'm still eagerly awaiting. The crux claims to have full sized keys. Do you know if this Belkin keyboard has full size keys?
Logitech just announced a keyboard folio with a "Full Size" key board. Looks like the caps lock will require hitting the function key as it is the "a" key as well. That would be my first choice if it were as thin as this one announced by belkin
"Here's more ways to turn your iPad into a MacBook"... Why not just by a MacBook (Air 11?) in the first place?
Exactly, I was going to say the same. During the week, I need the keyboard, but on the weekends, I just use the ipad with a folio case or nothing. Its a nice option. Now of course if you "need" a macbook for what it can do that the ipad can not, well thats a different story.
First of all, holy price-tag Batman! Secondly, the iPad already has a wonderful keyboard that fixes your mess ups. And finally, no matter how thin and light, it's still adding unneeded weight and bulk to something that was designed to be minimalist. Just saying.
I've yet to use any on-screen keyboard that i'd describe as "wonderful" even that of my iPad. Sometimes its nice to have the option to type using an actual keyboard, especially if you have a ton of emails to deal with. And this is just my opinion but I often would rather fix my own mess-ups than have to go back and unfix the non-mess ups that iOS erroneously corrected for me.
Looks like I need a new keyboard :)
looks great and converts to a case nicely. i am pre-ordering
...30$ for white. REALLY?
33% increase in price for a color????
The price for a keyboard is a bit high to begin with. But a premium like that is unimaginable.
Nice video! This would definitely be something for consideration. They keep improving this case/keyboard.
Yay! I have a laptop again!
Bluetooth keyboards should stay with the Mac in my opinion. I've been typing on digital keyboards for so long now, that I type better with what comes in the OS rather than spending another $100 on another accessory that will be outdated in 6 months to a year anyways. It's almost worth $100 to just get used to the digital keyboards.
Wish they had made one for the mini like Logitech did.
That makes me want one. Just not sure I would need one like my 2 but maybe in future will get one with the next iPad I buy

"Germs are great and germs are fun and germs live inside everyone" – Dr. Jennifer Gardy
Last week Urban Times attended the Thinking Digital conference in Newcastle, UK.
One of the surprise highlights was a talk by Dr Jennifer Gardy of the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control who enlightened us with a hilarious and quirky expatiation on the current state of epidemiology. No joke, Dr Gardy let's out peals of joyous laughter when describing such cooties as Chlamydia, Anthraz and Xylella. Quite the surreal 20 minutes.
Each of the conference attendees was giving a little blank notebook, and while this attendee didn't even touch pen to paper, Dr Gardy turned hers into a hand-drawn educational masterpiece on the germs that she called the 'A to Z of Epidemiology', which I had the opportunity to glimpse over a beer in the closing pub session.
I was extremely pleased to see that Jennifer collaborated with two other speakers – animator and TV presenter extraordinaire Tom Scott (animating the video) and the wonderful musical talent Jessica Latshaw (rapping in the credits) – on the video below. Watch and be enchanted, or repulsed, by the A-Z in all its colourful animated glory. Children and adults alike remember to wash your hands!

A new breed of DevOps focused APM tools is moving performance management outside the domain of operations. With features to support analysts, architects, developers, testers and DevOps APM is at home in all phases of agile development.
Tag Archive for Dynatrace
APM as a Service from vendors like AppDynamics, New Relic, AppFirst, and AppEnsure is a viable option for most enterprises. While on premise solutions are not dead, legacy vendors who have not modernized their products for the new requirements at the application development, application deployment, and data center distribution are blind dinosaurs. They are dead – they just do not know the name of the asteroid that is going to kill them.

Comparing the Different Approaches to Application Performance Management for Virtualized and Cloud based Envionments
• • 0 Comments
If you are going to try to virtualize performance critical applications in 2012, you should arm yourself with a tool that can measure how those applications perform in the eyes of their end users – which is their end-to-end response time. The approach you take should be a function of the mix of applications you have to support – including whether they are purchased or custom developed and if custom developed with what language or framework.
While the legacy enterprise management vendors might like to think of themselves as the Borg (prepare to be assimilated – there is no escape), the new technical requirements and the new buying patterns in the virtualization market do not lend themselves to a repeat of history. Legacy management vendors are unlikely to be able to acquire themselves into this market because their core platforms and business models do not work with the customers who are running virtualized environments and buying management solutions. So to my good friend Andi Mann, I respectfully disagree.

Application Performance Management for Virtualized Applications – the VMware vFabric APM Update
• • 2 Comments
As business critical applications move into production virtualized environments, the need arises to ensure their performance from a response time perspective. Legacy Applications Performance Management tools are not well suited to make the jump from static physical systems, to dynamic virtual and cloud based systems. For these reasons enterprises need to consider new tools from vendors that have virtualization aware and cloud aware features in their APM solutions. Vendors like AppDynamics, BlueStripe, Confio, dynatrace, ExtraHop, New Relic, Quest, VMTurbo and VMware (vFabric AppInsight) are currently leading this race to redefine the market for APM solutions.
Business Agility ...
Looking at the Entire VMware Operations and Application Management Strategy
• • 0 Comments
VMware is clearly serious about extending its management reach into the application layer of the stack. New products like vFabric AppDirector, and vFabric APM make this into more than intention – they make VMware's participation in these markets a reality as well. The move to remake the APM industry has thus far been lead by creative startups like New Relic, AppDynamics, BlueStripe, dynaTrace and ExtraHop. Now VMware has joined this effort will add considerable mass and velocity to the effort. The message is clear – it is time to instrument all of your applications for response time and the legacy APM vendors do not have the products that are up to the task.
Less than 5% of the applications that matter to enterprises world wide are under management by an APM solution that can help ensure application response time, application availability and the integrity of the critical transactions within the application. This is because first generation APM solutions have been too expensive to purchase, too limited in their scope and too expensive to configure, maintain and own.
The news today is that Compuware has acquired dynaTrace. This is an extremely significant development as this is the first example of one of the "traditional" systems management vendors (IBM, HP, CA, BMC, Compuware, Quest), stepping up their game to acquire one of these new innovators that address these new use cases and requirements.
RUM (also called End User Experience Management) is becoming a critical feature of modern APM solutions. This is being driven by the emergence of rich client platforms like Ajax, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, and Microsoft Silverlight as well as the emergence of the iPad and Android based tablets as platforms for client side business applications. These applications development trends when combined with virtualization, IT as a Service and Cloud Computing will make RUM into a critical capability for being able to assess how the end user is doing irrespective of what is happening to the deployment model of the back end application.

An Issue of Connectivity
In his seminal work Souls of Black Folks, W.E.B. DuBois prophesied that the problem of the 20th Century would be the color line. While his argument has clearly been proven prescient and true, the issues that produced the problem of the color line during DuBois' lifetime have evolved—or morphed, if you will—into the issues that plague us today. Moreover, while our students are no longer segregated by means of race and/or color, we now find ourselves teaching in classrooms that are divided by access (or the lack thereof) to resources like adequate technology. Thus, if we're to be totally honest with ourselves as educators, we might appropriately surmise that the problem of the 21st century is connectivity.
In Connected: An Autoblography About Love, Death & Technology (2011), filmmaker and creator of the Webby Awards Tiffany Shlain contemplates the following premise: "When you tug at a single thing in the universe, you find it's attached to everything else" (John Muir). In our classroom, we refer to this interconnectedness through the Mayan lens of In Lak'ech Ala K'in—the Living Code of the Heart. Similar to the Indian concept of Namaste, In Lak'ech Ala K'in reveals that each of us is found in one another. Luis Valdez's poem "In Lak Ech," which we often recite (both in English and Spanish) at the beginning of class sessions, helps to explain the concept:
Tú eres mi otro yo You are my other me.
Si te hago daño a ti If I do harm to you,
Me hago daño a mí mismo I do harm to myself;
Sí te amo y respeto If I love and respect you,
Me amo y respeto yo I love and respect myself.
– From Luis Valdez's "Pensamiento Serpentino"
Shlain suggests that being connected in the 21st century is akin to being connected to the rest of the world via technology, our collective Central Nervous System. She further posits: "As learning professionals, we know the power of technology that links our learners, connecting them with content, instructors, and one another. But we also know the darker side of technology and the problems of an overpopulated planet facing food insecurity, war, and global warming."
When considering connectivity inside the classroom, it is important to begin by determining what it means to be a connected learner in the 21st century. Specifically, each of us (adults included) must ask ourselves the following questions:
- What are the benefits of connecting with others?
- What opportunity costs are associated with becoming/remaining connected?
- How do we successfully determine which communities to which we should connect/ belong?
For my students and me, the quest to answer each of these questions begins inside of our classroom. Beginning with the first weeks of school, I charge each of my students with trying to identify their life's purpose. I ask each of them: Why are you here, and what's wrong with society that only you can fix? Answering these questions requires them to reflect consistently, even on a daily basis. Inside the classroom, we partner tried and trusted methods like journals and Socratic Seminars with innovative methods like TED Talks and lectures from the OER Commons to assist us. Outside of the classroom, where our ongoing discussion continues, we've taken to social media. Our personal favorite is Twitter, and we use the hashtags #TIL (which stands for: Today I Learned) and #Room110 (to identify our classroom).
In preparing for this piece—and in the true spirit of In Lak'ech Ala K'in, I reached out to some of my former students asking them to provide their personal testimonies of our using of social media in our classroom and how it affected their perceptions of connectedness as 21st century learners. Masai Smith, who will be attending Atlanta's Morehouse College as a freshman this fall, had this to say:
"Using Twitter helped all classes grow together as one big family. While expressing our inner thoughts, we found out we had more in common than we realized. As time passed, we developed a great respect for one another. The family feeling the class had was essential to reaching the heights of knowledge we experienced.
When Mrs. Silveri announced that we had to tweet what we learned in class, I was very reluctant. It turned out to be one of the motivating forces that pushed me to further my education. She truly challenged us inside the classroom. The hunt for knowledge became so intense that students did not want to wait until class to share what they discovered. So instead, we would be on Twitter at 9 p.m. still discussing and analyzing the subject of class earlier that day. Using Twitter allowed all classes to interact with each other and Mrs. Silveri. She gave us feedback and motivated us to dig deeper for knowledge, and it always felt good to get a retweet from her.
By the end of the night, you've seen so many perspectives on one topic that you had an all-around knowledge base on the topic of discussion. Students would also reach out to different people we read about in class to express gratitude if they had a Twitter account. I can honestly say that we went above and beyond every standard in our class because we were not limited to classroom hours. Over time it showed us the actual power of social networking."
To garner additional perspectives, I also reached out to current and former colleagues who follow me (@mrssilveri) or my class on Twitter. What follows are two of the many responses I received:
"Ms. Silveri has discovered numerous ways to use Twitter to share resources and differentiate her lessons for the students she serves. For her students, they use this tool to build a new world of learning. Twitter in her room becomes a constant source of new ideas to explore. From tracking hashtags to facilitating discussions and instant feedback, Ms. Silveri has perfected ways to leverage the immense power of social media." -Trayce Striggles, current Associate Director of Nonprofit Development at Chick-fil-A and former high school social studies teacher
"Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants." – John W. Gardner
This educational quote epitomizes the teacher that Shekema is. I have personally seen the impact that Shekema makes in the lives of everyone she encounters from students to teachers alike. She utilizes Twitter in a way that I have never experienced before to engage, solicit critical conversations, and uplift her students. She challenges them to dig deeper intellectually concerning social issues and to always inspire and encourage one another. Shekema truly creates a family atmosphere in which is she often referred to as "Mama" by her students. Her teachings are deeply rooted in love, discipline blossomed from tenderness, and sincerity that shines brighter than the sun. The lasting imprint she leaves in the lives of every student she meets is unsurpassed. Twitter just happens to be one vehicle she uses to reach them. As a classroom teacher, I've become a better person, teacher, and friend just by meeting her." – Kristy Girardeau, elementary teacher and 2013 NCTE Early Educator of Color Award of Distinction recipient
At this juncture, I believe it's important to disclose that I teach AP English Literature at a Title I school, within a Title I district. This disclosure is significant for those who believe that the results mentioned here cannot be duplicated. My classroom is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environment, and my students are permitted to use cell phones and whatever else they may have in order to facilitate their own learning.
They are encouraged to tweet as they learn, allowing them to teach their followers as they go. In our classroom, we are both connected and interconnected. We are each other and are responsible for making sure that each of us gets the respect, compassion, honor, and love we deserve—an adequate education included. As such, disruptions, distractions, and lack of student engagement have never been an issue for us. Our collective classroom efficacy is just too important for any of us to compromise.
While the results we've experienced in our classroom are not necessarily replicable, I am encouraged by the possibilities of a world in which young people know who they are, why they're here, and how being connected with others facilitates their own personal growth. When students recognize the purpose of learning and understand the responsibility that comes along with that being educated, they are inspired to share their knowledge with the world around them. If indeed the problem of the 21st century is connectivity, social media must be one of the resources we use to solve it. Our students must be taught to harness and use that power so that they can create the future they desire. They are well able to change frame their own world. Let us fearlessly lead the way.

CHARLESTON — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford advanced Tuesday to a runoff in the Republican contest for an open congressional seat along the state's southern coast, a major step in his bid for a political comeback.
In early returns on Tuesday evening, it was unclear who Sanford would face in the April 2 GOP runoff. Fifteen other Republicans were running, including Teddy Turner, the son of media mogul Ted Turner.
The winner will face Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Bush, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert. She won the Democratic primary for the seat, handily defeating perennial candidate Ben Frasier.
The general election is May 7.
Tuesday was Sanford's first political race since disappearing while governor in 2009 and then returning to admit an affair with an Argentine woman. They are now engaged.
Sanford voted Tuesday and said it was "a treat and a blessing" to be back on the ballot.
Sanford was one of 16 Republicans running in a special GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District.
The seat became vacant last year when Republican Gov. Nikki Haley appointed then-U.S. Rep. Tim Scott to the state's empty U.S. Senate seat.
Wearing a gray Windbreaker, Sanford walked alone up the street and up a flight of stairs to the building with the polling place in Charleston's historic district. He represented the district in Congress before he was elected governor.
"Casting your vote wasn't that hard," he said, but then added "it's a very significant race for me in a lot of different ways."
Sanford said, after voting, that life can be a series of course corrections and that he hoped voters would give him a second chance.
"We all hope for a second chance. I believe in a God of second chances," Sanford said. "On a professional level, we have had a couple of months to talk about the issues. In that regard it has been a treat and a blessing."
Sanford, who spent months apologizing to groups around the state after he revealed his affair, said when he announced for his old congressional seat that the apology tour was over. Known for his frugality as both a congressman and governor, he has been spending the campaign talking about getting the nation's fiscal house in order. Sanford held the seat for three terms in the 1990s.
With Sanford's campaign war chest and name recognition, Tuesday's race was largely for second place. With so many candidates, an April 2 GOP runoff was virtually assured.
Minutes before Sanford voted, state Rep. Chip Limehouse cast his ballot at the same polling place. Limehouse, who has spent almost $500,000 on the race, said he was sure Sanford would make the runoff and hoped he would be in second place.
"Purely by name ID, the governor has an advantage going into today. I'm not sure that goes past today," he said.
Turner was optimistic after voting at an armory in nearby Mount Pleasant.
"This race has been exciting all along because we started at zero," said Turner, making his first run for political office. "We have made our way as high as you can go in this race because you're not going to pass Sanford in the primary."
For Colbert Busch, the race was the fulfillment of a dream she has had since a young child.
"What an incredible opportunity. God bless America that we can do this," she said earlier Tuesday, adding that if she won, she would have two weeks to concentrate on the campaign while the Republicans in the runoff battle each other. "That is a real advantage."
Turnout was low, as expected in a special primary.
