In recent years, cloud computing has gone from buzzword to product-label used by virtually every IT vendor that does business with the federal government. And according to David Cearley, tech visionary and futurist at Gartner, that might not be a good thing.
"Can you think of a vendor who doesn't have something labeled 'cloud?'" Cearley asked an audience at the Federal Cloud Computing Summit on May 30.
"When cloud means everything, then cloud computing really loses its meaning," Cearley added, prefacing his 40-minute presentation. The presentation itself comprised a crash course in cloud computing for the fed-heavy audience, beginning with its definition and ending with what agencies need to think about if they want to employ it.
The definition of cloud computing
The basic definition, as provided by Gartner: "A style of computing in which scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service using Internet technologies," Cearley said.
Cloud services can be provided in numerous ways.
Private clouds and hosted private clouds are two of the most popular options federal agencies currently favor, in part because they address the most serious security concerns that some agencies – especially those dealing with sensitive information – routinely voice.
Public cloud services, often used by agencies to stand up public-facing websites, are growing more popular, especially within agencies that have adopted cloud technology and are "ready to add security layers in." Agencies currently spend less on public cloud computing solutions than they do on any other option.
However, studies by Gartner show that federal agencies are beginning to shift their strategies toward hybrid cloud solutions, which are essentially combinations of private and public cloud infrastructure. Cearley, referring to a recent Gartner study, said 70 percent of feds report they will pursue a hybrid cloud strategy in the near future.
"Hybrid cloud aspirations are sky-high, hybrid needs to be on your list of topics when you're thinking about cloud computing," Cearley said.
How to decide what's best for your agency
Cearley said one of the biggest mistakes feds make in looking to the cloud is assuming too much, so he outlined a process agencies can follow to ensure they end up with the right cloud option.
Cearley said cost is always a factor when moving to the cloud, but he recommended agencies develop mechanisms to determine cost over time. Cearley warned not to "just assume cloud is cheaper" because in some cases, it might not be, but moving to cloud-based services might still be the right decision if increased agility is taken into account.
Security, too, is an important determinant for whether an agency might take or leave a cloud solution, but Cearley said too often "when people raise security, it's usually about their job security."
"Sometimes, they will be absolutely right, but look at security as a challenge to be addressed and evaluate it, not as a reason to not do anything," Cearley said.
Lastly, if you're in an IT shop putting together a cloud-based plan for your agency, Cearley said it is best to keep it simple. "Put the framework in a model that non-IT people can understand," he said.
Cearley recommended a simple "benefits vs. challenges" model, which works great with data-driven figures to bolster the argument. It also doubles as a rubric for what kind of cloud model best suits an agency's particular need.
When the benefits and challenges are both high, a private cloud – best for sensitive information – probably applies best. When the benefits are high and the challenges are low, Cearley said, that's a great time to try public cloud solutions.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

What is the funniest episode or moment you've seen in the Pokemon episodes? Mines gotta be towards the end of Johto when Ash gets an egg and it hatches to be a Larvitar and it always cries. I also thought on the first episode when Ash stole Misty's bike taking Pikachu to the Poke Center and says, "Hang on Pikachu, were almost there" and then wipes out. That was so hilarious. So what's the funniest moment's you've seen?

The parents of a teen hit and killed by a car Monday on a Lakeland Road are calling for change.
Monday morning, when it was still dark, deputies said 17-year-old Kalen Kirk was walking to his bus stop, as he'd done many times before. Deputies said Kalen darted across Clubhouse Road, into the path of an oncoming car driven by the county's crossing guard supervisor.
A memorial, just feet away from where it happened, keeps growing with flowers, hats and even a handwritten note.
His family said they're overwhelmed by the love they've felt in the two days after Kalen died, especially because they are new to the area. Their mission is to fix this road so no one else's child gets killed.
That particular part of Clubhouse Road near Andros Boulevard has a 45-mile-per-hour speed limit, no crosswalks or lighting. Kalen's family fears what happened to their son could happen again.
"I need everyone here who has a voice," said his mother, Tiffany Criss, "I need you to be our voice. I need you to be Kalen's voice, because Kalen was not just our child. He is Lakeland's child."
Standing tall at 6'3", Kalen Kirk was known as a "gentle giant."
"Kalen was the sweetest guy you'd ever want to know," his father Tony Kirk said. "To know him is to love him and we all love him very much."
He attended George Jenkins High School for less than a year, but judging by the size of the crowd at his vigil Tuesday night, he was well-loved.
The gathering was more than a vigil for Kalen's family. It was a rally for change.
"Fight," Criss pleaded. "Do not let my son, our son, die in vain. This is his last request. Help all the other children who have to cross streets, do so safely."
The Polk County School District said it's working with the county, while reviewing the safety of bus stops along Clubhouse Road.
Bill Skelton with the county's Roads and Drainage Division said he's unaware of any complaints in that area. A traffic study will determine what, if anything, might be needed to improve safety in the area, like more lighting, signs or crosswalks.
"We are considering our options and they'll determine what the best thing is to decrease the likelihood of something like this happening again," Skelton said.
Kirk said, "Lighting, crosswalks, and crossing guards, something. Because one child is too much."
Laying flowers where Kalen took his last steps, his family held each other tight, promising their son they won't stop fighting.
"While I'm very hurt," Kirk said, "I know he is wearing a crown, he's wearing wings right now and he's looking down on us saying, 'wow. All this for me?'"
There will be a celebration of life for Kalen Thursday night at 7, at Free Life Chapel. His classmates also plan to wear blue and red on Friday as a tribute.
At this point, no charges have been filed. The Polk County Sheriff's Office said that's unlikely.

The Health Care Industry Cannot Continue to Ignore Medical Cannabis
Twenty-four U.S. states now have some form of medical marijuana legalization on the books. These states allow patients with a variety of physical conditions and/or health maladies to obtain, posses and often times cultivate cannabis lawfully as a treatment for such medical conditions. The number of states allowing medicinal cannabis is set to increase dramatically, as various additional state legislatures have bills and/or ballot measure pending on this topic.

Where The Jobs Are: "55 And Older"
A good jobs report? Sure, if one is 55 and over. In December the American jobs gerontocracy continued its relentless course, and as the two charts below summarize since Obama's first term, some 2.7 million jobs in the 16-55 year old category have been lost. The "offset": 4 million jobs for Americans between 55 and 69. For all those young people graduating from college (with $150,000 in student loans) who are unable to get a job, here is our advice: tell your parents, and grandparents, to retire already. Oh wait, they can't because Bernanke destroyed their savings. Oops - better luck next time.
Job "gains" for all Americans 54 and younger vs those 55 and older:
And the same broken down by segment:

Because the alternative wasn't itching to send them into Iran?!
Neocon many-valued logic and gnat-like attention span; a powerful combo.
We'll ALL be cannon fodder in the next war. Those bombs will be raining down right here in America.
Oh, we're special............that can't happen here. /s
Tell that to a frustrated 24-year-old Chinese soldier. Tell that to 'Pre-emptive' Putin.
Two choices old coots: (1) give the youngins a bite at the equity apple (ownership) and we'll keep paying into the failed system; or (2) take all our jobs and we'll leech off your peasant wages, occupy your basements, and refuse to show you how to work rudimentary electronic devices... until such time as you "retire".
Hey dipshit, I designed and built a great number of those electronic devices. Suffice it to say I know how they work a whole lot better than you do.
Seth: You know you can really get trapped in that web of beepers and Zenith televisions and Walkmens and Discmans and floppy discs and zip drives, laser discs, answering machines and Nintendo Power Glove...
Linda: Wow, you know so much about technology.
I noticed the burger flippers are getting older. Supersize me, Grandpa!
But but but that's impossible, all the Obamabots are telling me that the old folks are retiring!
They ARE retiring. You are still allowed to earn WalMart greeter wages and keep getting your full SS check. Especially true if you work PART TIME.
Does that clear things up?
About the time you read that and say "but, wait.... if that's true then it's even WORSE than what I thought....." THAT'S when you got the full horror of it.
Everyone seems to be missing the 'good' part of 'good jobs'.
You are not going to get this 'good job' when the 'stupid, lazy, boomer' retires. The 'boomer' was hired 25 or more years ago in an environment where it received pension, medical, dental, etc. benefits on top of a good wage. The corporations have been very good at eliminating these people / positions, but they haven't gotten rid of them all yet. THOSE people are the number showing up as this statistic.
When five of these retire one college grad will be hired at half of one of the retirees wage with no beni's because it is an independent contractor. It will work 80 hours a week doing the work of five people and either burn out or be fired because it cannot complete the work of five people on a week-to-week basis.
So I say we applaud the last of a dying breed as they ride off into the sunset. Their kind will not be seen again
maybe they (>55 yo's) arent lazy, obese, with fat thumbs, can see only three feet to an i-phone screen and cauliflower ears
Or maybe they're so in love with their servitude, they don't know any other way?
More likely are obese and need to keep some means of acquiring blood pressure meds.
Hooligan, We do not have any facial tats metal in our faces or gages in our ears. Have you ever noticed the ears of a gageless person? They look like withered assholes.
so many 25-55 folks went Galt .. living self sufficent lives..out of system. Nobody to loot their wages.
@Jason T
The underground economy is where it's at. If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he'd be bartering and/or accepting only cash.
right jason,we are living with in our means,debt free, but out of the system? no, we still get hit by property taxes,sales tax, health care cost, rising food and energy cost. the system will get you no matter what you do it's just a matter of how hard you get hit!
Which makes 'LIVIN IN THE BASEMENT'... in reality... a sensible choice... Fuck the 'stigma'... If they're so inclined, let all your phony jerk friends carry the load (while you keep stacking in the basement & bone up on horticulture & engineering)...
I plus'ed you. You're right, it's not easy. I exagerated to see response but seriously, I think smart folks have this desire for sure. I know I do. well, on the front of self sufficiency at least, I still want to contribute to society. Food and energy can totally be done however. Property tax is only concern, just don't live in expensive neighborhood.
Food and energy are my concentration of being self sufficient. Can put a huge dent in that part for sure. Have an electric powered car and have own solar panels to charge, there's your car power.
Home Economics needs a revolution.
you pay no property taxes or health care and you get food stamps and free power when you are out of work PLUS you get u/e benefits this is the chart that explains it all
you only need to work as hard as a shelf stacker to earn the equivalent of 69,000
If greedy CEOs/boards gave up 1-2 cents EPS per quarter and put the money back into all the training programs they ditched between 1985-2005, masses of young people would get work, buy homes, start to invest.
But the cocksuckers are too busy buying 4th and 5th homes.
Back in the 90s the semiconductor co I worked for made everyone take 40 hours of training per year. That stopped in 2001, as employees became a liability.
The youth have more training than ever and are more qualified than their predecessors. CEO's wouldn't even need to give up any EPS to get them into the workforce. The age preference simply needs to be ended. It is illegal. It is immoral. At least "grandpa" has a lifetime of savings and social security/medicare to fall back upon. The young people, nothing except for debt.
Hey, don't forget that this is what WAR is for...to take all those protesting, unemployed youth and put them on the front lines!
And then the old die and the young are dead because of the war... leaving you with... illegal immigrants!
A by-product of regulatory capture by the banking cartel, who want to be the only ones allowed to collect interest (money for nothing). Gee, allow mom and dad to actually generate a return by investing their savings and things might have actually turned around (ignoring the energy issue of course). Apparently, allowing anyone, other than the Fed, to collect interest is bad and society is quite comfortable with sacraficing it's children already. This should end well (for those properly positioned). Same as it ever was.
I don't understand this trend. You'd think employers would want the cheap (young and healthy) workers. What am I missing?
The older workers listen, are courteous, don't wear iPODs, know how to count and make change, and are capable of reading and writing.
Old folks are not texting all day and updating their Facebook page too. ;-)
I had to hire someone about 6 years ago. The young people never even showed up for the interview.
The older person who was hired was there everyday, you could trust them with the keys, they never let you down, etc.
F TV, F Hollywood and F Facebook.
What you're missing? Medicare or other paid health care.
If you are producing icrap, then yes, you want cheap workers. If you are trying to actually innovate or produce a product of high quality that must be dependable and not break down (like a nuclear reactor), you need intelligent, experienced workers. Could be a good or bad sign for the eCONomy. I still see some serious structural problems out there. Older workers tend to have a much better work ethic as well.
Have you tried to hire and keep a 'young' employee lately?
Most suck, are unreliable, expect to make 100K/year, and have a entitlement mentality.
The single young Moms are the best. They hardley ever show up. Kids sick - no one to look after them. Kid has a doctors appt. no one else to take them.
Not all of them but so many of them fall into this category.
As an employer I get a first hand look at how fucked we are as a country when I look at the younger generation (btw I work with Kids too - don't even get me started).
that is exactly what I have been hearing for years, a young person who is punctual, dresses appropriate for the workplace, and can communicate is gold and will get raises and additional hours and opportunites. So many cannot put together a simple resume.
I was tasked with training two new mechanics (A&P), went out to the plane and as I started setting up all the equipment and get everything going, they had found a spot on the floor in the hangar and spent all the time texting and would ignore everything I told them about what to do. Fortunately was able to get rid of one of them, the other somehow managed to stay on.
I cannot understand the mentality of my peers. As a 'young' employee out of grad school I logged over 100 hours of overtime - unpaid - during my first year at my current job. I figured all that work would safeguard my job during the inevitable firing cycles that happen.
Most people I know have never seen a 40-hour work week, and are living at home out of college, with vague speculations on 'grad school', and the accompanying delusions of grandeur that go with it.
I think the crisis comes from the realization that they will never have what their parents had - home ownership, car ownership, etc... It's a generation of renters. Riches to rags, basically.
(a) none of these jobs come with provided healthcare or any other perk;
(b) the perception of work ethic is that older persons have a better work ethic;
(c) while a young person dreams to achieve greater than these jobs, the old person has no choice, knowing full well that winter is coming and he has yet to squirrel away enough nuts;
(d) experience;
(e) pity; and
(f) supplemental income (young workers have debt/dependent children; older workers have assets/pensions/SS/independent children/etc.)...
among others...
re: (e) pity WTF?
• a belief or point of view that is accepted with unthinking conventional reverence
"What am I missing?"
They aren't paying for healthcare for these old folks (the 29-hour per-week McJob) so their age doesn't matter and minimum wage is minimum wage regardless of your age.
Maybe the young, healthy workers are making a lot more money slinging dope to you.
At least 55 year olds and up can read and write past a 6th grade level.
I took a part time job 3 months ago rather than sit home and read ZH all day like I was doing.
My mother is thinking about going back to work because her CDs bear so little interest that she can't afford not to. She's 84!
Thanks, Bernanke!
Jobs are over rated! Why work when everything can be free? Oh wait........... I'm a white male.

I especially enjoy running initiative campaigns. These campaigns have little relation to politics in any conventional sense. An initiative has no political party, no public record to defend or promote, no personality to charm or disgust the voters. And there are no brothers-in-law who need a job. An initiative is just waiting for you to define it and give it life.

If you have $1 million, you can get anything on the ballot.
—Robert Stern, Center for Governmental Studies
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Great Plains and western states, along with several eastern states, enacted legislation and amended their constitutions to permit citizens to have a greater voice in the creation of law and public policy. 1 Direct democracy, through initiatives and referenda, was seen by proponents as a way to "diminish the impact of corrupt influences on the legislature,

The nine members of the Committee are made aware of all the latest data on the economy and hear explanations of recent trends and analysis of relevant issues. The Committee is also told about business conditions around the UK from the Bank's Agents.

The population increase was influenced by external migration
According to the revised data of Statistics Estonia, 1,315,944 persons lived in Estonia on 1 January 2016 – 2,673 persons more than at the same time a year earlier. The population figure decreased by 1,336 persons due to negative natural increase, but increased by 2,410 as a result of positive net migration. The increase in the population figure was also influenced by changes in the calculation methodology, resulting in 1,599 persons being added to the population.

The Merritts live just west of the Newton county line in Lawrence County. When the tornado passed through Wentworth, it rolled across the Merritts' farm. It pulled on their century-old house, tugging the lath and plaster an eighth to a quarter of an inch off the studs. It knocked down a mile of fencing on the 660 acres and enough trees to make 300 logs.
The biggest hurt came when the old dairy barn across from the house was struck hard by the storm. A big five-pointed star on the roof had made it a landmark. The storm caved in the roof and the front gable. The two cattle inside were fine, protected largely by the two-foot thick walls.
The Merritts had the barn restored about five years ago and didn't think this time anything could help.
Southwest Contractors, a Mennonite construction company based east of Carthage, had done the earlier restoration and had other ideas.
"The barn was built in the typical way barns used to be built with a stick frame," said Sylvan Knepp, construction foreman for Southwest Construction. "We went with a truss style, which is engineered to hold more weight. That way we don't have to do as much framing."
Knepp and his crew of Craig Kramer and Jay Eicher took off the damaged sections, leaving the rear gable and stone walls with the thick oak beams in place. Barry Merritt attributed much of the building's strength to the oak, still bearing the original square nails. Merrritt said the original construction must have been done when the wood was green. Most nails would bend in an attempt to hammer them in now.
Knepp brought a skid steer, and one by one lifted 10 trusses in place.
"The biggest challenge was getting everything straightened up after everything was messed up so bad," Knepp said.
His crew put a level on the sections as they progressed. Knepp said they preferred to use four-foot centers with two-by-four pylons on top.
In a day, the crew put up the trusses then returned a second day to lay the metal roof on the ribbing of wood laid horizontally across the trusses. They planned to return this week to rebuild the front gable.
While the barn was is disrepair, another storm had blown through with 60-mile-per-hour winds. Merritt worried that the unsupported rear gable might give way, but it held, as always.
As barns goes, the Merritts' structure qualifies as medium sized. Merritt uses it mostly for young cows and for storing square hay bales. He lost three barns and two grain bins in the storm, but the sentimental value and strategic location of the historic barn made it the biggest loss.
With the shape of the barn coming back over the farm's skyline and carpenters arriving to put drywall in the house to stabilize the displaced lath walls, Barry Merritt's easy smile came back. The memory of May 22 could begin to fade away.

ORANGE CITY - The fifth-ranked Orange City Unity Christian team enhanced its reputation in first-round Class 2A Regional volleyball action here with a 3-0 win over Cherokee Washington High.
"They are a very good team," said Cherokee first-year head coach Julie Hummel, whoe team steadily improved as the year progressed, including winning three of four final Lakes Conference matches and placing second in the Storm Lake Invitatioal Tournament with a 4-1 record last Saturday.
"Their hard hitting and tough serving kept us off balance all night. There's a reason they're rated #5 in the State. I'm proud of the girls and the way they improved the entire season. They were very coachable and fun to work with on a daily basis."
Emily Cook led Cherokee's hitting attack with a 19-24 effort and three kills, followed by Megan Hummel 13-14 and four kills, Jackie Wilson 12-16 and four kills, Shaefer 11-12 and three kills, and Liz Dawson 4-7 and two kills.
Setter Jessica Cook totaled 54-55 sets and 10 assists, while Shaefer and Dawson each recorded one assist. Emily Cook and Jessica Cook each tallied two block assists.
"We will miss our seniors - Emily Cook, Jessica Cook, Liz Dawson, Danielle Hansen, and Sarah Ruehle - and we wish them the best of luck with whatever they decide to do," added coach Hummel.
"We have a great core coming back and the girls realize that we can win and I look forward to working with them in the off season to continue to work to get better both fundamentally and in knowledge of the game."

Knowing that Intel AMT exists in your environment has been possible for several years now. Knowing exactly what version of Intel AMT, current configuration, network settings of the management engine (i.e. FQDN, IP address, etc), whether or not certain interfaces or features are enabled, and even more – this is very desirable.
A few years ago, Will Ditto at HP wrote a handy utility – iAMT SCAN. A gap still existed. Where was the Intel generated, publicly available utility that works even on the latest generation of Intel AMT systems? In addition, a utility that worked even if the Intel AMT drivers were not loaded or Intel AMT had been disabled within the BIOS.
This is the summary of what SystemDiscovery allows with the introduction of the SCS_Discovery utility. SCS_Discovery is a standalone component of the new Intel SCS 7.x application. SystemDiscovery is the common command used by both utilities – SCS_Discovery and SCS 7.x. It can be used to locally detect and collect over 60 data points of Intel AMT 2.x or higher systems.
Gathering this information locally on the client via XML file or Microsoft Windows registry enables the information to be collected via a custom inventory solution to a central database. Having a central inventory of all Intel AMT systems provides a tremendous capability in making decisions to help realize the success of the technology.
To utilize this feature:
For a best case scenario in collecting all data regardless of the Intel AMT version, stopping the Intel AMT Local Management Service is recommended.
The above steps would be modified as follows:
The following image excerpts provide a visual preview:
Examples how this data could be used:

NetIQ has announced new appliances that help enable businesses and other organizations to simply and securely access the power of two mega trends -- cloud and social media.
Cloud Access 1.1 provides a single sign-on virtual appliance that provides access to cloud services without complex and risky controls. Users within the company can access the permissioned cloud services without having to keep track of numerous and often changing usernames and passwords.
The IT team retains control of which services users can access, while making any changes in authentication for each individual site transparent to the end user. Administrators can provision services for employees on an as-needed basis, while easily de-provisioning those services when the employee leaves the company, or no longer requires access to certain services because of a role change or some other reason.
Feature-rich connectors automatically provision users to popular cloud-based applications, such as Google Apps, Salesforce, Office365, and some 200 verified connectors to security assertion markup language (SAML)-enabled cloud applications. CloudAccess 1.1 also includes a Connector Toolkit that allows IT personnel and partners to extend these federation capabilities to any SAML-enabled third-party software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.
The issue of access ease and control still vexes web apps, never mind cloud and social platforms. It's clearly an issue that needs to be solved if users and enterprises alike are to adopt at the they pace they want.
"Prior to CloudAccess 1.1, existing approaches to managing user access to external resources was a difficult and manual process – made even more complex in light of the demands of today's dynamic organizations," said Kent Purdy, solution marketing manager at NetIQ. "CloudAccess 1.1 is not just delivering cloud single sign-on, but also simplifying IT's ability to successfully turn SaaS, cloud, mobility, and other disruptive trends into business-enabling opportunities."
Log data
Access logs also let IT administrators see how often cloud services are being used, which will allow them to determine whether various services are still cost-effective for the company. It also provides visibility into which employees accessed which services -- and for how long.
The second appliance solution is SocialAccess 1.0, which helps organizations -- retailers, commerce hubs, state and local governments -- rapidly engage with customers and constituents by allowing them to use their unique social identity and profile information from providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others.
CloudAccess 1.1 is simplifying IT's ability to successfully turn SaaS, cloud, mobility and other disruptive trends into business-enabling opportunities.
Until now, such access required individuals to create and maintain a unique username and password for each site, which is costly for the organization and inconvenient for the individual. SocialAccess 1.0 enables large-scale "bring your own identity" (BYOI) services that simplify how organizations interact with stakeholders and develop greater levels of customer intimacy, all while increasing brand loyalty and reducing IT costs.
Because it's an appliance, it makes it quick to deploy and easy to use for retailers, commerce hubs, state and local government and others seeking rapid engagement with stakeholders without the need to build, manage and maintain an identity store.
The impact of social media on corporate decision-making came into focus last week, when bourbon-maker Beam, Inc., announced plans to cut the alcohol content of its Marker's Mark brand by watering it down in order to meet growing demand. Within days, social media -- Facebook and Twitter -- were filled with furious protests over the move, leading Beam to reverse it's decision. The impact of social media is by no means a flash in the pan.
Demanding access
"Consumers are demanding convenient access to more services from more endpoints than ever and organizations need to be able to seize the opportunities that social identity, mobile computing, cloud and other trends naturally create," said Geoff Webb, director, Solution Strategy at NetIQ. "BYOI is a great example of the opportunity to build on existing processes, improve existing services and respond more rapidly to customers."
One early adopter of the SocialAccess appliance is the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT). The department serves a network of 120 agencies, board, and offices, as well as more than 8 million residents, 300,000 employees, and approximately 50 million visitors a year.
Consumers are demanding convenient access to more services from more endpoints than ever and organizations need to be able to seize the opportunities.
The department was looking for a way for people to log into NYC.gov and have a personalized experience. Using SocialAccess and social media sign-on, users were spared the need to create and maintain another online identity.
CloudAccess 1.1 is offered on a subscription basis or perpetual license. For more information, visit www.netiq.com/cloudaccess. SocialAccess 1.0 is licensed on a per user basis. For more information, visit www.netiq.com/socialaccess.

Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Buildi...

Free Albert! Haynesworth Begs Redskins to "Unleash Me!"
It's the interview of the century, or at least last night.
"All you gotta do is take off the daggone leash," Albert Haynesworth said on WFJK-FM's Kevin and Rock Show last night. "We're not little girls. Nothing wrong with being a girl or anything. But I'm a man... Unleash me and let me go... let me play football. Let me be great at it... no other defensive tackle can outplay me. I guarantee that."
Well, no defensive tackle can underplay Haynesworth, either, if Coach Tanahan keeps it up.
When the onfield product is as bad as the Skins', the team needs stuff like the Haynesworth soap opera to stay in the news and keep the focus off Xs and Os and personnel moves (like signing Haynesworth for $100 million to win the 2009 offseason championship) and anything you can blame on management for the current debacle.
But the full-out assault that Haynesworth is under, which smoked him out and forced him to call WJFK to rebut "the haters," has been bizarre and brutal, even for the Redskins. All the unnamed sources at Redskins Park accusing Haynesworth of being drunk on the job makes it seem like the only reason the team kept Haynesworth around was to sniff out some reason get some of that bonus money back.
Chris Russell, over at the Dan Snyder-owned WTEM, spent all of his hour-long show last night saying he wasn't going to slander Haynesworth.
But Russell also said Haynesworth "wasn't able to do a groin stretch" at practice last week because he'd been out drinking a night earlier. He added that a coaching staff can't accept players showing up "when you're hungover, maybe still drunk, maybe reeking of alcohol."
"Listen, it's not an unbased accusation, that he was hungover, whatever," Russell said. "I just have to be careful what I say."
The whole show reminded me about Sean Taylor, who also missed practice after a night of hard partying. Taylor didn't show up at all to workouts in October 2004 after being arrested for DWI while speeding around the Beltway coming home from Rod Gardner's birthday party at a nightclub called Home.
Taylor was videotaped by the police tripping up on the alphabet during the field sobriety test. He was asked to recite from E to O, but forgot J, M and N. Coach Joe Gibbs suspended Taylor for that week's game against Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers.
Taylor's locker is now on display in the Club Level of FedExField and used as a carrot to sell premium seats. Maybe Snyder can put Haynesworth's locker up there, too, when this latest saga is done.

Most of them went to Kel'Thuzad, but mid-Cata most of them quit the game. Their guild is still their and so is my alt; just to keep tabs with them once in a while. None of them have logged on since MoP though.

I've got a database with two table each of the tables has a column with the date. I use strftime to get the rows of a whole month or a whole year. These are the methods in the DatabaseHelper class:
public Cursor GetListOfYears() {
return myDb.rawQuery("SELECT DISTINCT strftime('%Y',date) AS _id
FROM table_week ORDER BY date", null);
public Cursor GetListOfMonths() {
return myDb.rawQuery("SELECT DISTINCT strftime('%m',date) AS _id,
strftime('%Y',date) AS year
FROM table_week ORDER BY date", null);
the thing is that the years method is working properly but the months one, looks to work fine for a while but when I save a new row to the table (table_week in this case) with the date from previous months or even previous years, it does weird things. I'll explain myself:
imagine there are 3 rows with dates from may, and 3 with dates from june... until there everything is working fine... now I save a new row with date in april, or february or december from last year... 1. it could work just fine 2. it could show the month in the list but when clicked can't access the rest of the information (not likely it happened a couple of times) 3. shows the correct month but the year is 0 and 4. shows wrong month but the year is correct (this usually happens when saving a date from 2011, shows 2011 but the month is always january...)
I can't figure this out, but I'm sure that the month is the problem because the list of years works fine... any help will be appreciated, thank you very much in advance

Wow - yummy! Goat cheese explosion! What a fun, fresh spring meal. I served with a salad and crusty bread and topped with parmesan cheese and a drizzle of balsamic. Will make again!
Wow this was really fantastic. I used grape tomatoes instead of cherry, and they were slightly tart and sweet. Definitely watch them in the oven, I needed to lower my oven temp since the tomatoes were starting to shrivel after only an hour of cooking. Overall, this makes for a nice light meal and I would definitely make it again!
This is fabulous! Wanted to put together dinner with things I had. This was very different with the goat cheese. Yummy!
Delicious! The garlic flavor infused the tomatoes and made this a special dish. My brothers, who dislike goat cheese, even said this was good! So its definitely a winner! Thanks!
