People signaled strong interest in VoIP,
virtualization, and WAN optimization technologies, according to a study
released by Network Instruments and NetQoS. The survey of 117 network engineers
and IT executives found:
- When asked which emerging technologies present the greatest monitoring challenges, most respondents (38 percent) identified virtualization, while 24 percent were concerned with Unified Communications, followed by MPLS (14 percent).
- More than 50 percent of respondents indicated that their organizations have deployed some virtualization technologies. This will increase to 79 percent within 12 months and 82 percent in two years. More than 41 percent of organizations do not currently run virtualization, and nine percent were not sure what percentage of their organization's applications, if any, run on virtual machines.
- VoIP adoption remains strong with 67 percent of organizations having implemented the technology on their network. Most respondents have implemented Cisco VoIP solutions, followed by Avaya and Microsoft. Looking to future VoIP rollouts, seven percent of organizations expect to implement within 12 months, and an additional three percent will wait more than a year.
- 42 percent have implemented or plan to implement a WAN optimization technology within 12 months, while 44 percent had no plans to implement.
- When asked about topologies, 69 percent were interested in monitoring LAN, 60 percent in WAN, 56 percent in wireless, 48 percent in gigabit, and 23 percent in 10 Gigabit.
"Many of the people we're speaking
with today are talking about network-wide rollouts of new applications like
VoIP and unified communications," said Charles Thompson, manager of systems
engineering for Network Instruments. "Many IT staffs find it challenging
to assess how these applications will impact the performance of other
business-critical applications. Without visibility into application traffic and
performance, it's impossible to set appropriate performance benchmarks and detect
problems before their impacts are felt by the user."

The USCG Plans to Widen its use of the subsea surveillance technology. The question is: is the investment warranted?
The U.S. Coast Guard is planning to widely use sonar to support its maritime security and marine environmental protection missions. The agency currently has limited capability to detect objects below the water's surface and relies on others (such as the U.S. Navy or the commercial sector) when such detection is needed.
Sonar is an acronym for Sound Navigation and Ranging. The principle is similar to radar, used in the atmosphere. While radar uses radio waves, sonar relies on sound waves, which propagate much better than radio waves do in water. There are two major types of sonar – passive and active. Passive sonar only listens, detecting sounds made by vessels, persons, fish and other things in the water, or the water itself (e.g., waves). Active sonar transmits a sound signal that then is reflected off an object within range and returns to the transducer. Measuring the time difference between transmission and reception provides an indication of the range of the target. Measuring the angle of the received signal provides an indication of the direction of the target.
Sonar transmissions are made in a variety of frequencies, depending upon the intended purpose. Low frequency transmissions have the advantage of very long range. On the other hand, these sonar transmissions can only detect very large objects and with minimal accuracy relative to range or bearing. Mid-frequency transmissions have a range measured in miles and are able to detect objects such as submarines and large whales with good accuracy relative to range and bearing. This is the type of sonar utilized almost exclusively by the military, having virtually no commercial application. High frequency and ultra-high frequency sonar transmissions have a short range, but are able to detect small objects. This type of sonar is utilized commercially and is the type under consideration by the Coast Guard.
Sonar in the form of echo-sounders has been utilized for years by ships to determine the depth of water under the keel. A signal is transmitted straight down. The signal reflects back when it hits the seabed. The time difference provides the operator with an accurate measure of the depth. More sensitive versions are in use as fish finders. These devices differentiate between the strong signal generated by reflections off the seabed and weaker signals generated by reflections off objects in the water column. Sophisticated versions provide more detailed information, allowing determination of the size of the fish school, etc. Sonar transmitters can even be attached to trawl nets, allowing for better placement of the nets relative to the target species. Stronger and more sophisticated sonar can be used to penetrate the upper layer of the seafloor, allowing determination of characteristics such as bottom type (i.e., mud, sand, gravel) and depth to hard strata. This information can prove valuable for determination of anchorage grounds and for laying of submarine cables and pipelines.
Sonar is used commercially to examine hulls, pilings and underwater structures such as offshore platforms. This type of sonar is sometimes handheld by a diver or mounted on the end of a pole. Increasingly, it is mounted on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or on unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). ROVs have greater capabilities regarding power and data transmission, since they are tethered to a shore location or to a manned vessel. UUVs have less power and data transmission capabilities, but can get into tighter spaces and have longer potential range.
Diver detection sonar is used for detection of divers and submerged swimmer delivery systems, such as those used in several of the James Bond movies. This sonar provides detection, classification and tracking information on human underwater incursions that could endanger lives or property. It is being employed around some marine facilities worldwide, but not yet to a great extent. Limpet mine imaging sonar is used for detection of small underwater objects. Originally used for detection of limpet mines potentially attached to the hulls of ships, it can now be used to detect caches of drugs and other contraband. This type of sonar may also be used to detect hull damage and underwater structural damage.
The Coast Guard proposes to utilize commercially-available sonar equipment to broaden its capability to locate, image and classify submerged and underwater targets of interest (TOIs). This would include such things as terrorist attacks and environmental threats (i.e., pipeline leaks). This usage is aimed at protecting human safety, preventing property damage, and protecting the marine environment.
Use of the sonar by the Coast Guard is envisioned as of short duration and within a limited geographic area. For example, it might be used to protect a high-level dignitary during a visit to a waterfront facility. Alternatively, it could be used to examine an offshore facility from which oil is emanating to determine the location and extent of damage or other cause of the discharge so that it can be promptly remedied.
At least for now, the Coast Guard intends to utilize commercially-available sonar with frequencies above 50 kHz. As a result the capabilities, limitations and potential adverse effects of equipment are reasonably well-known. This, combined with the short duration and limited geographic scope of the sonar use, will serve to minimize any environmental impact. Further, the Coast Guard proposes to consult with other agencies, such as the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) prior to each planned use in all but emergency situations to determine whether there are particular environmental concerns that should be considered, such as endangered species in the vicinity. The Coast Guard also plans to utilize observers to monitor usage and identify any unexpected risks, such as boaters or swimmers approaching the area.
The sonar systems under consideration by the Coast Guard operate within the hearing range of toothed whales (150-180 kHz) and pinnipeds (75 Hz – 75 kHz). Some clupeid fish (i.e., herring, shad, sardine, menhaden) may also react to these sonar transmissions. Minor adverse impacts could also occur in the unlikely situation if a ROV or UUV were to touch down on seagrass, coral or sediment. The use of low-power HF and UHF sonar (as opposed to high-power MF military sonar) minimizes adverse environmental impact by reducing the area ensonified by the equipment.
The purpose of the Coast Guard proposal is to broaden the agency's capability to locate and classify underwater threats and other targets of interest and to more safely and effectively accomplish the Coast Guard missions. Targets of interest could include combat swimmers or divers; explosives or other offensive devices that could be delivered to underwater hulls, piers or other shore structures; and objects that have become submerged as a result of natural or man-made disaster and have the potential to interrupt maritime transportation, trade, commerce, recreational boating or other maritime activities. The use of HF (50-999 kHz) and UHF (1,000 kHz and higher) active sonar technology would provide operational commanders with enhanced ability to support maritime security, marine safety, and maritime stewardship with minimal impact on the environment. The likelihood of a terrorist attack by divers in U.S. waters is extremely low. More likely are suspicious incidents that require prompt investigation and response, similar to the various private pilots that negligently stray into restricted airspace around the White House. It is expected that the Coast Guard will more frequently use sonar to investigate suspected contraband stashes affixed to the underwater hull of incoming vessels, marine casualties, hazards to navigation, and environmental threats. Used properly, sonar can provide the Coast Guard with important new capabilities.

JACKSON, Mich., Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With income tax preparation season in full swing, Consumers Energy is helping raise awareness among income qualified Michigan residents that help with heating bills may be available through a Michigan Home Heating Credit and federal Earned Income Credit.
The Home Heating Credit can be used for all types of primary heating fuel, including natural gas, propane and purchased firewood. Renters may also qualify for the credit. Even if households do not make enough money to file income taxes, they can still apply for a Home Heating Credit. Applicants are encouraged to file early for this credit to obtain refunds sooner, though the filing deadline is September 30, 2014.
Last year, more than 366,700 Michigan residents received a combined total of $45.4 million in aid through the Home Heating Credit program, which is funded by the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Last year's average credit for Consumers Energy customers was $137. Even so, each year a significant share of home heating credits go unclaimed by income-eligible households.
"Tax season is an ideal time to file the Home Heating Credit since free preparation assistance is available throughout much of the state," said Whitney Skeans, Consumers Energy's customer assistance coordinator. "We want to make sure our customers know of these additional ways to receive help with heating bills, and encourage them to find the nearest free tax site by dialing 2-1-1, a free service spearheaded by the United Way."
Home Heating Credit forms (MI-1040CR-7) are available at the following locations: via the website www.michigan.gov/taxes, at most public libraries, Secretary of State branch offices, Department of Human Services branch offices, or linked from Consumers Energy's Assistance section on its website: www.consumersenergy.com/assistance. By calling Consumers Energy toll-free at (800) 477-5050, customer service representatives can conveniently provide last year's total heat cost, which is required to complete the form. This information can also be found on December, January, and February Consumers Energy billing statements.
The federal Earned Income Credit is another refundable federal income tax credit available to qualifying low-income taxpayers. It must be filed during tax season. For income guidelines, contact your employer, call the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-3676, or visit www.irs.gov.
The Michigan Department of Treasury can answer questions about both forms; information is available by calling (517) 636-4486.
The state of Michigan is promoting an umbrella of energy assistance programs and public awareness-raising initiatives throughout February, designated by Governor Snyder as Keep Michigan Warm Month. Visit the Michigan Public Service Commission's Be WinterWise campaign website to learn more at http://www.michigan.gov/winterwise.
In addition, Consumers Energy has launched the Severe Weather Assistance Team to help customers with payment assistance, and the company is sharing ways to save energy as part of its Beat the Freeze campaign. Also, there's still time for income-qualified residents to sign up for the CARE program and get bill relief. For details, call (800) 477-5050 or visit www.consumersenergy.com/assistance.
Consumers Energy, the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy, provides natural gas and electricity to 6.5 million of the state's nearly 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.

Government to impose new obligations on job seekers
Jari Lindström (PS), the Minister of Employment and Justice, has shed further light on the measures drawn up by the Government to remove inactivity traps and encourage job seeking.
He revealed in a news conference yesterday that the measures would oblige job seekers to accept a wider variety of full-time job offers – even ones that do not match their occupational skills and experiences and ones that provide a wage lower than unemployment benefits.
Berner's proposal on taxi licences shot down by Finns Party
Timo Soini (PS), the Minister for Foreign Affairs, reveals on his blog that the proposal unveiled yesterday by Anne Berner (Centre), the Minister of Transport and Communications, to de-regulate the taxi industry does not enjoy the unanimous support of the Government.
"The Finns Party opposes the de-regulation of taxi licences. We will not allow [the industry to be turned into] a Wild West," he writes.
Class differences have widened in Finland, views researcher
Erkka Railo, a senior research fellow at the Centre for Parliamentary Studies of the University of Turku, estimates that the rifts that have arisen within the National Coalition and the Social Democrats are indications of exacerbating class differences in Finland.
"The reasons for the rebellions within the National Coalition and the Social Democrats are the same: class differences have exacerbated in the Finnish society," he writes in a blog published in Turkulainen.
Voluntary returns are more effective than forced ones, says Soini
Timo Soini (PS), the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has voiced his concerns about the growing number of undocumented migrants in Finland and Europe.
"It's perfectly clear that tens if not hundreds of thousands of people whose identity and whereabouts is unknown are lost in Europe. It's a real threat that those who aren't granted asylum stay on as undocumented [migrants]," he stated while attending an event held by the Finnish Association of Political Journalists on Thursday.
Stubb: Finland has been firmly part of West for some time
Alexander Stubb (NCP), the Minister of Finance, has shared his thoughts on why Finland has had to constantly re-assure the rest of the world that it is part of the West.
Stubb argued on his blog while attending the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group in Washington DC, the United States, that although Finland has a functional and practical relationship with Russia, its position as part of the West should not be called into question.
Finland reports lowest fertility rate since famine years
The total fertility rate in Finland has dropped to its lowest level since 1868.
Statistics Finland reported on Thursday that last year the number of births dropped by 1,760 year-on-year – almost twice as much as one year earlier – to 55,472, close to the levels recorded during the famine of 1866–1868.
Soini won't run in next presidential elections
Timo Soini, the long-term chairperson of the Finns Party, says he will not run in the presidential elections of 2018.
Soini squelched what would have been an inevitable speculation about his possible candidacy while attending an event of the Finnish Association of Political Journalists in Helsinki on Thursday. "I will not," he responded to a question about whether or not he is willing to hit the campaign trail once the campaign period kicks off in 2017.
Pardia withdraws from talks to found a new central organisation
The Federation of Salaried Employees (Pardia) has declared its decision to withdraw from the preliminary discussions over the establishment of a new central organisation following a meeting of its executive board on Tuesday.
"Pardia will not continue the possible further deliberations over the establishment of a new central organisation," it states in a press release.
NCP's Satonen to donate his raise to charity
Arto Satonen, the chairperson of the National Coalition Parliamentary Group, has announced his decision to donate his salary raise to charity.
The Remuneration Committee of the Parliament stated earlier this week that it has decided to increase the salaries of Members of the Parliament by 0.43 per cent effective on 1 February, 2016, prompting a flurry of outraged comments on social media due to the austerity measures introduced in other sectors of the society.
Niinistö dismisses criticism of border agreement with Russia
President Sauli Niinistö has dismissed the criticism levelled against the agreement reached by Finland and Russia to reduce cross-border traffic into Eastern Lapland.
"There were enormous concerns – even overstated ones, also in the media – that the people who are crossing the border to Finland to apply for asylum, that there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of them in Russia," he stated during his visit to Ivalo, Eastern Lapland.
20–22-year-olds suspected after customs officials intercept drugs worth €300,000
A group of young people from Espoo are set to face a slew of criminal charges for their involvement in a drug trafficking ring exposed by the Finnish Customs and Western Uusimaa Police Department.
The investigators have seized a batch of alprazolam, a benzodiazepine anti-anxiety agent, worth approximately 280,000 euros and designer drugs worth approximately 25,000 euros during the course of the now-completed pre-trial investigation.

A former Bowling Green football player who claimed he suffered permanent brain damage has settled a lawsuit with the university.
According to the Toledo Blade, Cody Silk will receive a $712,500 settlement in the agreement reached between himself and BGSU. As part of the agreement, the university did not admit fault and the former offensive lineman agreed that he would not pursue any further damage claims.
Silk had filed his suit in 2013, claiming "that BGSU coaches and medical staff failed to withhold him from practices after he suffered repeated concussions." Silk claimed that he had suffered two concussions in 2010, but was cleared by the football program's medical staff to return to full-contact status in practice; shortly thereafter, he suffered a third concussion.
The lineman subsequently parted ways with the team, lost his scholarship and dropped out of school.
The settlement came after Silk's attorneys had asked the Ohio Court of Claims to reconsider their initial rejection. From the Columbus Dispatch:
The court initially rejected Silk's claims, finding Silk signed a release of liability to play football in which he assumed the risk of possible injury. He refiled the claim last year. A state attorney claimed Silk was exaggerating and overreporting his symptoms, but the settlement will keep the case from going to trial.
In their motion for reconsideration, Silks' representation contended, the Blade wrote, "the release [of liability] didn't cover 'wanton and willful misconduct,' which he alleged BGSU's conduct was."

Vatican denies Vatican bank prelate linked with 'gay lobby'
Post your comment

The whole concept of a Vatican Bank would have set Jesus overturning tables. Compared to that base heresy right at the heart of the Catholic Church whatever Sig. Ricca gets up to shouldn't be anything the Pope needs to worry about.
They do seem to be obssessed with the so-called gay lobby- it's like 'Reds-under-the-bed'!
Actually we know it is true. Unfortunately the whole clerical life has acted like a huge magnet for many gay male Catholics, albeit at a huge cost fore many. There are some that are well adjusted although I suspect do organise themselves into a network. There are also many that are self loathing, full of hate, and leading destructive dishonest lives.
It is all their own fault though – they created the mess by the way they terrorise boys and young men with their warped view on sex and sexuality.
You might say that the chickens have come home to roost.
But who could he appoint who is not at the centre of some scandal or other? I wonder.
I can't believe these evil bastards have the audacity to say or do anything against LGBT equality when not only is their reputation in tatters, not only have they lost any kind of credibility because of child abuse scandal, but gay clergy?!? In the VATICAN?! You can't have openly gay people running around the Vatican and still say you're anti-gay. Sorry but the world just doesn't work like that,
They don't have a leg to stand on so why do people still listen to them?!
In general people don't listen to them. We probably give them more attention than the average Catholic does.
That "not credible' made me guffaw. This from a mega-wealthy and powerful institution built entirely on a bunch of 'not credible' fairy stories.
They are destroying themselves with hate. Good.
Of course, it never occurs to them that among religious people, Catholics support equal marriage than all others combined.
Let's not forget the Vatican's connection with Roberto Calvi, Banco, the general manager of Banco Ambrosiano which was based in Milan with offices in London. The Vatican Bank was Banco Ambrosiano's main shareholder, and the death of Pope John Paul I in 1978 is rumoured to be linked to the Ambrosiano scandal, giving one of the subplots of The Godfather Part III. Vatican Bank was also accused of funneling covert United States funds to Solidarity and the Contras through Banco Ambrosiano. Lastly, Calvi ended up hanging from a rope from Blackfriar's bridge in 1982. Nobody can convince me the Vatican wasn't involved in that.
The Vatican was and always will be one of the most vile and corrupt organisations on the planet.

A Real Page-Turner
"As I reviewed all of the documents for this hearing today, I felt like I was looking at a proposal for a made-for-TV movie," Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette said last Thursday as the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee convened. And this hearing wasn't even about the still-to-break scandal of disgraced Florida Representative Mark Foley (pictured), but all the skullduggery at Hewlett-Packard.
If the HP scandal is a made-for-TV movie, then what's the Foley debacle? "Maybe Nightmare on Elm Street -- for the Republicans," offers DeGette aide Chris Arend.
DeGette released a more sobering statement on Foley yesterday. But we wish she'd stick with her TV theme. The philandering Floridian who blames his prediliction for young, male pages on booze would make a great addition to the cast of 7th Heaven, which is trying to spice things up now that the show about a minister's family has been saved on the CW.
Just imagine what a page-turner it would be as Foley takes up with those twin boys! "Well, strip down and relax..." -- Patricia Calhoun

How containers will shape the Drupal ecosystemSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 1st of May 2015 10:43:28 AM Filed under
I recently had the opportunity to interview David Strauss about how Pantheon uses containers to isolate many Drupal applications from development to production environments. His upcoming DrupalCon talk, PHP Containers at Scale: 5K Containers per Server, will give us an idea of the techniques for defining and configuring containers to get the most out of our infrastructure resources.
Having recently dove into the container realm myself, I wanted to learn from the experts about the challenges of managing containers in a production environment. Running millions of production containers related to Drupal, David is certainly an expert resource to ask about this subject. I look forward to learning more details at DrupalCon!
Building better pages in Drupal with ParagraphsSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 30th of April 2015 11:32:20 AM Filed under
When you're publishing anything online, the way you lay out your content can be as important as the content itself. A good layout can help readers better interact and consume that content.
Users of content management systems like Drupal have a number of options that allow them to create very attractive, very usable layouts. That's one factor that drew Murray Woodman to Drupal. He co-founded Morpht, a Drupal-based web development shop in Sydney, Australia. He found that Drupal 6 provided a level of freedom and productivity, and hasn't looked back.
One Drupal module for laying out pages that Woodman is keen on is Paragraphs. I caught up with Woodman ahead of his talk at DrupalCon 2015, and he kindly shared his insights into the Paragraphs module.
govCMS to release its own Drupal distributionSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 16th of April 2015 08:36:37 PM Filed under
The government's govCMS project will make its own Drupal distribution publicly available for download, it announced today.
The distribution will be a fork of the aGov distribution, which was developed by local development shop PreviousNext and is the building block for govCMS sites.
aGov was released in 2013 after a beta period involving a number of federal and state government agencies. High profile end users include the NSW government's 'one stop shop' for services, Service NSW.
Drupageddon: SQL Injection, Database Abstraction and Hundreds of Thousands of Web SitesSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 15th of April 2015 07:21:13 PM Filed under
On October 29, 2014, the Drupal Security Team released advisory identifier DRUPAL-PSA-2014-003. This advisory informed administrators of Drupal-based Web sites that all Drupal-based Web sites utilizing vulnerable versions of Drupal should be considered compromised if they were not patched/upgraded before 2300 UTC on October 15, 2014 (seven hours following the initial announcement of the vulnerability in SA-CORE-2014-005).
In the case of the Drupageddon vulnerability, the database abstraction layer provided by Drupal included a function called expandArguments that was used in order to expand arrays that provide arguments to SQL queries utilized in supporting the Drupal installation. Due to the way this function was written, supplying an array with keys (rather than an array with no keys) as input to the function could be used in order to perform an SQL injection attack.
Git Success Stories and Tips from Drupal Core Committer Angie ByronSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 9th of April 2015 03:52:06 PM Filed under

"Git (was) the smartest/safest choice for our community, and a choice that definitely paid off," said Byron, who is also the director of community development at Acquia.
Higher ed finds increasing value in open source CMS optionsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 2nd of April 2015 03:12:35 PM Filed under
"The university has since launched somewhere between 350 and 400 websites, all built on Drupal 7," writes Schaffhauser "While the CMS is centrally managed to keep the system updated, it grants individual colleges, programs and departments the flexibility to put up their own images, update text as they want, add and move site objects (themes, content types and Drupal "modules") and "essentially have a custom look with a managed system," [director of university Web services, Mark] Albert explained to Campus Technology.
The Changing Cost of Open SourceSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 26th of March 2015 10:00:50 PM Filed under
At one time higher ed wanted community-built software because of the $0 price tag; now many universities are paying somebody else to keep open source projects moving forward.
4 tips for how to migrate to DrupalSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 20th of February 2015 12:49:31 PM Filed under
Well, to jump from your current CMS (or lack thereof) and make the transition to Drupal, you want to know much it costs and exacting what that migration entails. First, there are several factors that have to be taken into an account before any Drupal development company can give you a quote. But, while there isn't an exact price range for migrating to Drupal, you can do some in-house work to keep your migration costs down and prepare your team for the migration, keeping headaches down too.

Australian government Drupal-based CMS goes liveSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Tuesday 11th of November 2014 09:46:44 AM Filed under
GovCMS, the Australian government's new cloud-based web content management system, has gone live on Australia.gov.au, the federal government's chief technology officer, John Sheridan, said at a media briefing in Sydney on Tuesday. The site receives more than 2 million visitors each month, and is the first site to migrate to the platform.
The Department of Finance has developed govCMS, an Australian government-specific distribution of the Drupal open-source content management platform, in conjunction with Acquia — a company founded by Drupal's creator, Dries Buytaert, to provide commercial-grade support for the platform.

European Unified Patent Court goes Open Source
Using Private Cloud and Drupal as a starting point together with small expert partners and agile management the new platform for the European UPC has been shaped to the exact requirements and quickly adapted while more needs surfaced. The only ready to use Open Source tool used has been Zarafa Collaboration Platform which integrated with the Case Management System will provide secure email, instant messaging, file sharing and video conferencing to the platform's users. The result is that, thanks to Open Source based platform and by working with SMEs, the UK IPO team has been able to deliver to the Unified Patent Court team the project earlier than planned and under budget.
