A familiar defendant was on trial Tuesday in Skamania County Superior Court.
Michael D. Collins, whose high-profile 2010 sentence for beating a cross-country skier was significantly reduced because of a legal error, appeared before a jury again — this time on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.
After deliberating an hour Tuesday, the jury found 36-year-old Collins guilty of the charge.
Sentencing is set for Thursday. The crime carries a sentencing range of between about 43 months, and 57 months in prison. A judge will decide whether the new punishment will be served in addition to Collins' current 14-year sentence or at the same time.
Adam Kick, who took office as Skamania County's prosecutor last year, said he filed the charge in October "because we thought it was necessary to protect the public. Mr. Collins is a very dangerous individual."
The previous prosecutor, Peter Banks, did not pursue the sex offender charge in 2010 because he believed court rules would prohibit him from trying it at the same time as the beating case, Kick said. That's because the charge has to do with Collins' sex offense history — information normally kept away from jurors because it could create a bias toward the defendant.
The new conviction relates to a February 2009 incident in which Collins and his son, Teven Collins, camped at Dougan Falls for six days, just before they attacked the skier. In 1992, Collins was convicted of second-degree child molestation and in 1999, he was convicted of second-degree assault with sexual motivation. Both convictions require him to register with the county sheriff as a sex offender, according to court documents.
On Feb. 9, 2009, Collins and his teen son accosted, robbed and brutally beat skier Kevin Tracey before fleeing in Tracey's car. After being featured on the TV show "America's Most Wanted," they were later arrested in Ensenada, Mexico.
The Court of Appeals in July tossed out Collins' original 25-year sentence because the court found prosecutors made a legal error in charging Collins with felony attempted murder, a nonexistent crime. Collins was resentenced in September on the other conviction, first-degree robbery.
In addition to the 14 years he received from a Skamania County judge, Collins received another two-year sentence in July 2010 for a separate failure to register as a sex offender charge.
He is serving his sentence at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton.

For any Candidates or Charterholders out there, with the work experience requirement, do internships count towards it, or just full time?
I want to update my profile on the Institute site, but don't know if I can put in a 3-month ER internship as counting towards the requirement.

The laughter was missing at the Metro League coaches meeting, where the late O'Dea basketball coach was remembered as a leader and role model.
Mike Bethea always looked forward to sitting next to Phil Lumpkin at the annual Metro League coaches meeting. Lumpkin, the O'Dea coach, always kept the meeting entertaining for Rainier Beach's head man.
"Phil had a humorous side to him," Bethea said. "We would sit here and he would say little things under his breath that would get me laughing."
But Tuesday night, when Bethea walked into the room at Seattle Prep, he knew that laughter would be missing.
For all the Metro coaches who knew Lumpkin, who died over the weekend after missing the previous week of school with a pneumonia, this year's meeting took on a somber tone.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
"A lot of my coaching philosophies, a lot of things that I put into my system are directly from Phil," Bethea said. "I admired him as a coach, and kind of looked up to him as a coach. What could you say about the guy? To be honest with you, it's going to be real tough playing them [the O'Dea Irish] without him sitting there."
Matt Ziegenfuss, an O'Dea assistant who coached with Lumpkin for six years, said, "He was one of a kind, just a great person, a great man. I was fortunate enough to get to know him off the court and he was just a great role model to me and a mentor. He's going to be missed."
Practices for the 2009 season begin on Nov. 16 and, while rule changes and policies were discussed, the meeting started and ended with talk of ways to pay tribute to Lumpkin.
"From a basketball standpoint it's a sad day, which states the obvious," Seattle Prep coach Mike Kelly said. "From a school that he once coached at and has been intimate rivals with for a number of years, it is also a sad day. We exchanged few words, but there was an awfully deep respect for the man as a young coach growing up in the Metro League. I thought his kids played as hard as anybody. They respected the game."
Lumpkin has been elected to the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and will be inducted in July.

New Flourishes: The Holly & The Ivy
The folks over at Flourishes have done it again! With every new release, I'm more and more amazed at the beauty of the artwork. Did you know Stamper's Dream carries Flourishes stamps now? Tonight's project uses a brand-new Flourishes set called The Holly & The Ivy. I stamped the main image from the set onto watercolor paper, and, get this, I watercolored! I used to watercolor all the time, but those were the B.C. days (before Copics). I took Jerri Jimenez's Tombow Marker class at CHA in January, and now currently, I'm taking Kim Teasdale's Watercoloring with Tombow Markers class via My Creative Classroom. Can those two ladies color or what?! I have to say, so far, I'm loving my Tombows, and I expect you'll be seeing a lot more watercoloring from me in the near future.
I'm giving you an early peek at Jen's Sketch For You To Try, too, which Jen will officially post on her blog tomorrow (Saturday) morning. If you're brave, you could start your own sketch card based on what you see here, but I'll warn you, there's a small bit of "interpretation" going on, so you might want to wait {grin}. Tomorrow (again, that's Saturday), be sure to have a look at the sketch team's creations: Amy Rohl, Kelly Lunceford, Leigh O'Brien, and Susan Liles. To play along, just link to your creation in a comment on Jen's SFYTT post and if you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: SFYTT.
Last, here's a look at the finished inside, where I included the greeting:
Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: The Holly & The Ivy (Flourishes)
Paper: Strathmore watercolor paper, Prismatics Blush Red (Dark) card stock, Graphic 45 dp, Stampin' Up Basic Black card stock

The cognitive characteristics of individuals with severe compulsive hoarding behaviors (SCH) are not well understood and existing studies have largely focused on individuals with SCH and concurrent anxiety disorders. The present study was conducted to evaluate the frequency with which SCH co-occurs with LLD and to compare the cognitive characteristics of individuals with late life depression and concurrent SCH (LLD + SCH) to that of LLD individuals without SCH (LLD).
Participants included 52 LLD individuals who received psychiatric and neuropsychological evaluations as part of a larger study. Cognitive performance on measures of memory, attention, language, information processing speed, and categorization/problem solving ability was evaluated for each participant using standard neuropsychological measures. Measures of depression and anxiety symptom severity were also obtained.
Seven (13%) of the 52 LLD participants reported significant SCH behaviors. The two groups (LLD + SCH; LLD) did not differ with respect to demographic characteristics or severity of depression or anxiety. Individuals with LLD + SCH demonstrated significantly poorer performance on two measures of categorization/problem solving ability relative to individuals with isolated LLD. Clinically significant impairments on measures of categorization ability, information processing speed, and verbal memory were more common for SCH + LLD than LLD participants.
Our preliminary results suggest that SCH behaviors in LLD are associated with specific aspects of executive dysfunction characterized by categorization deficits and to a lesser extent information processing speed and verbal memory deficits. Further study of cognitive functioning in older adults with LLD and SCH may clarify the underlying cognitive characteristics of the SCH syndrome. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Aerobic exercise may represent a useful intervention for drug abuse in predisposed individuals. Exercise increases plasticity in the brain that could be used to reverse learned drug associations. Previous studies have reported that exposing mice to a complex environment including running wheels after drug conditioning abolishes conditioned place preference (CPP) for cocaine, whereas running can enhance CPP when administered before conditioning. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that timing of exercise relative to conditioning has opposing effects on cocaine CPP. Male C57BL/6J mice experienced 30 days of running or sedentary treatments either before or after cocaine conditioning. Control animals always received saline and never cocaine, but otherwise underwent the same conditioning and exercise treatments. Animals were given bromodeoxyuridine injections at the onset of conditioning or exercise, and euthanized at the end of the study to quantify survival of new neurons in the hippocampus as a marker of plasticity. Wheel running accelerated extinction of CPP when running occurred entirely after drug conditioning, whereas running delayed extinction when administered before conditioning. A single conditioning day after running was sufficient to abolish the accelerated extinction observed when all conditioning preceded running. Running approximately doubled adult hippocampal neurogenesis, whereas cocaine had no effect. These results suggest that exercise-induced plasticity can facilitate learning that context is no longer associated with drug. However, if drug exposure occurs after exercise, running-induced plasticity may strengthen drug associations. The results provide insights into the interaction between exercise and drug conditioning that could have implications for drug abuse treatments.

Meet the Innkeepers ~ John and Mary Kendzierski
Our story is likely familiar to many in their own lives – throughout our years in the so-called "corporate world", we always looked forward to "getting away from it all" due to our busy and often hectic schedules. In 1997 we were introduced to Jackson, New Hampshire – a picturesque and quaint village that gave us the sense of walking back in time when we could imagine things were simpler. We instantly loved Jackson and the surrounding areas so we came back to visit as often as we could. Over the years we stayed at the various inns Jackson has to offer – each one unique and boasting different things whether beautiful landscapes and views, or top-notch service and amenities or excellent food – normally, all of those things! We left each time looking forward to our next visit – Jackson felt like home to us. The Inn at Ellis River was at the top of our list of favorites!
Gradually our dream of owning an inn, in Jackson began to form and take root. We have countless fond memories of hiking, waterfalls, shopping, fabulous food and relaxing stays at our favorite inns. Finally, after years of dreaming about it, we made it a reality and after a year being in this beautiful Inn and wonderful community, we are happy to be here and know that we have made the right decision. Our primary goal remains: to continue the previous owners' tradition of making our guests feel at home and comfortable.
Christine Baumann joined the Inn 9 years ago as assistant innkeeper and has been helping care for our guests ever since. She is a favorite among many. Tini Isa, together with Jean Belcher and Tuesdae Glanville keep the inn sparkling clean and help get our guests' mornings off to a delicious start at breakfast. Another important member of our innkeeping family is Christine's Miniature Dachshund, Emma. Born in February, 2014, she enjoys greeting guests, tummy rubs, walks, and treats, of course. She is rapidly learning how to assist the staff, even posting on Facebook!
. Creating a special place for our guests to enjoy remains everyone's greatest goal.

text: My wife was shopping for stocking stuffers at the local book store (Yes, we still have a bricks and mortar one) and brought home Grant Petersons book "Just Ride". I have to say that it was a short, easy and enjoyable read. As most of us know, some of Grants ideas are controversial. And, while I dont agree with all of them, it was still a fun read. I found myself putting the book down, jumping on my commuter bike and just cruising around the neighborhood - without making any changes to clothing, destination in mind or desire to keep track of mileage or how long I was out. That short 15 minutes was refreshing. Two hours later, I did the same thing. Yesterday, I did the same thing three times, and today Ive already done the same thing twice. So, his book reminded me of what I used to know: riding a bike doesnt have to be a sport, training, transportation, a test of fitness, or any of that. It can be a simple pleasure, much like taking a coffee break. I know many of you know this in the active sense that you ride without fuss and fanfare on a regular basis. For me, however, I've not ridden this way in years. Its turning into a nice way to bring a bit of respite into full and challenging days.

Britney Spears Is Not Rushing Into Another MarriageEmma Brady
Despite tabloid covers to the contrary, Britney Spears is not rushing into a marriage with her boyfriend Jason Trawick.
The couple who have been dating for a year recently made headlines when OK!declared that the popstar was planning a double wedding with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears. Spears and Trawick have spent the past week soaking up the sun in Hawaii and got tongues seriously wagging after Britney decided to tour a wedding chapel at Maui's Grand Wailea.
For now the two are just enjoying their time together and have no plans to tie the knot in the near future.
"They're really taking things day by day and really enjoying their time," an insider tells People magazine.
Trawick, who was previously her agent, has largely been credited for helping bounce back from her 2008 breakdown.

Plus Sundance Flicks 'Silent House,' 'Bengali Detective' & 'Circumstance' Find Homes
With Sundance on, it's sales time for studios and distributors, as everyone in town competes to pick up the next would-be indie phenomenon. In what's been a more lively market for acquisitions than in recent years (albeit with few "Happy, Texas"--style big money sales), pictures such as "Like Crazy," "Homework," "Marcie Martha May Marlene" and "The Ledge" have all found homes, along with documentaries "Life in a Day" and "Page One."
However, probably the biggest pick-up of the day comes for a film that isn't at Sundance, and hasn't even gone before cameras, as Vulture reports that Summit is in discussions to make an adaptation of the cult novel "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower." The project, based on the 1999 Steve Chbosky tome, a self-conscious "Catcher in the Rye" for the MTV generation, was originally announced last summer, with "Percy Jackson" and "The Three Musketeers" star Logan Lerman as the lead; Emma Watson as the girl he befriends, and John Malkovich's Mr. Mudd company, clearly hoping to repeat their success with "Juno," were going to produce the film, to be directed by Chbosky himself, independently.
Now, it seems that Summit is stepping in; while nothing's final, Vulture suggests that a formal announcement is coming from the studio in the next week, and that cameras will finally roll in June, which may put Watson out of the running for the Taylor Lautner vehicle "Incarceron," if she was ever a real contender. We assume that Summit will be financing the project entirely, rather than agreeing to make a negative pick-up, what with the film not shooting for another six months and all.
In other acquisition news, from Park City this time, Deadline has news of three new deals that have been made in the last 24 hours. Liddell Entertainment ("Biutiful," "I Love You Philip Morris") have acquired most world rights to the one-shot horror flick "Silent House," starring starlet-of-the-moment Elizabeth Olsen, for around $3 million, with a P&A commitment of around the same amount. Liddell is now working to find a distributor for the project, a remake of last year's Uruguayan film "La Casa Muda." Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company are said to be interested.
Meanwhile, Participant Media, who also joined with Magnolia to buy the rights to "Page One," has picked up the rights to the Iranian drama "Circumstance" for a six figure sum, and is also now in talks with distributors. The film, from debut director Maryam Keshavarz, involves an Iranian family trying to contain their daughter's sexual rebellion, and their son's 'dangerous obsession.' The film was shot in Lebanon, after she became concerned that her cast & crew might be put in danger by the film's subject matter.
Finally, Fox Searchlight, who's been busy at the festival, already also acquiring "Homework" and "Marcy May Martha Marlene," also bought the remake rights to Philip Cox's documentary "The Bengali Detective," which follows a Calcutta private investigator, Rajesh Ji, who mixes his investigations of the criminal underworld with a dream to dance on Indian TV. It sounds like it's got the potential to be a real crowd pleaser, but we hope it means that the original film, from Native Voice Films, will see the light as more than a DVD extra down the line.

Teen killed in Vermont crashApril 29,2013ENOSBURG — A standout high school basketball player in Vermont has died following a two-vehicle collision.
Police said 17-year-old Brandon Gleason of Enosburg was a front passenger in a Jeep when it collided with a pickup Friday night on Route 105 in Enosburg.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said Gleason later died at a St. Albans hospital. Gleason was a senior at Enosburg Falls High School and was the state's Mountain Division player of the year this past season.
Capt. Jay Sweeny of the sheriff's office told WPTZ-TV that the driver of the pickup, 53-year old Patrick Prue of Franklin, was charged with driving under the influence, but that it hasn't been determined who was at fault in the crash.

Burmii's painty tutorial by burmallooWatch
©2013-2016 burmalloo
heyyy This tutorial is really awesome, and stuff, but I was just wondering if you do the last step, the one where you make the final bold outline, on the same layer as the coloring, or do you draw that thick outline on a separate layer and then merge it?
thank you! okay, so for that last step, its usually on one layer, but if i cant get a color right because it blends with the others, i just make a new layer
This is so epic!!!
Helped me a lot too!!!

On Day 1 of the conference, my focus was the ISM Simulator workshop that I helped coordinate. Given that the workshop was:
a) taking place prior to any other Pulse activities,
b) located in the bowels of the MGM hotel, and
Taking my Pulse in Slots Vegas
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC email@example.com Tags:  simulator service tivoli management pulse ism 2 Comments 3,018 Visits
Last week, I attended my first IBM Pulse conference. I really enjoyed the sights and sounds of Vegas, and met many of my Tivoli colleagues for the first time. I also probably walked the equivalent of 15 miles over the five days within the mammoth MGM facility. But what I found most valuable over the five days were my interactions with our customers and business partners.
On Day 1 of the conference, my focus was the ISM Simulator workshop that I helped coordinate. Given that the workshop was:
a) taking place prior to any other Pulse activities,
b) located in the bowels of the MGM hotel, and
c) three hours in duration...
...I was a bit apprehensive that all the customers and business partners who had RSVP'd would actually show up. But when people started rolling in 30 minutes before the start time, I was confident that this workshop was going to be a success.
When we got started, we had 21 participants sitting around four tables, which is all but ideal for this role playing workshop. Like other simulator workshops that I have attended, it started out a bit chaotic, as participants tried to process the firehose of information that was being thrust upon them. By the end of the three hours, they had come full circle, and were effectively working together to the tune of a $5 million profit for their hypothetical shipping company.
As I chatted with some of them after the session, and listened in on some of their video testimonials, the words I heard most often were "eye-opening", "outstanding" and "insightful".
On Monday and Tuesday, I worked on the expo floor and showed off our cool new ISM Simulator video game. The game allowed users to experience various issues affecting service management and corporate profitability in a simulated organization. At the ped, I got great feedback from customers and partners, who, by virtue of playing the game, were able to get a better grasp of the sometimes abstract concepts of service management.
You can play the IBM Service Management Mission game here.
All in all, it was a great conference, and stay tuned for the video from the workshop!
Tivoli At IOD 2011
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  iod tivoli service-management ism 1,971 Visits
IOD 2011 is just around the corner, and it should be no surprise that I was psyched to learn that Washington correspondent and anchor for BBC News Katty Kay is hosting the conference.
Full disclosure: I drive a Mini Cooper, I watch Doctor Who and I follow Neil Gaiman on Twitter.
So, yeah. I was also excited to see that she's going to be on stage with great IBM speakers like Jeff Jonas, Robert LeBlanc, Mike Rhodin and Steve Mills.
As if that wasn't enough (and there are a bunch of other IBM speakers not listed), guest speakers Mike Lewis and Billy Beane will also be there. Mike Lewis wrote the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game and Billy Beane is the VP and General Manager of the Oakland Athletics (the subject of the book).
I know, right? It's a pretty great group of speakers.
Having attended IOD in the past, it's a great show that I know that customers and business partners are going to get a lot of value out of.
Tivoli will be at IOD, and we're looking to meet customers such as yourself who are attending the conference. Here's a list of where you can find us:
Expo Center
Technical Meetup
We have a website with more details and of course you can follow the conversation on Twitter #iod11 and watch the general sessions on the Livestream.
...and speaking of Las Vegas and IBM Conferences. The Pulse 2012 call for speakers deadline is fast approaching (November 7). See Jen's Pulse blog for the details on how you can submit a session proposal.
IBM SmartCloud Announcements
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  ism cloud ibmcloud service-management 3,302 Visits
You've probably noticed an increase in activity with the #ibmcloud hashtag on Twitter, and of course the changes to the IBM SmartCloud website.
Today, IBM has a number of exciting announcements around SmartCloud. It's such a big announcement that we might have to turn it into a national holiday (which wouldn't be cool for the one dude waiting by the mailboxes for his copy of Zookeeper on BluRay).
Why Cloud? Why Now?
When we listen to customers across industries, we hear them tell us about the bold moves they must make to stay ahead of their competition. They tell us about how they need to quickly and efficiently provide new and innovative services to their customers.
Speed to market. Efficiency. Reducing costs.
These are their watch words and they look at cloud computing as a technology that offers these advantages.
That said, there's also a requirement to ensure the same levels of governance they currently have set in place. They also want to ensure that they are reducing (not increasing) their level of risk. And, of course, it has to be done securely.
Can all of this be done with cloud computing?
I would not joke about delaying that dude's copy of Zookeeper if it wasn't.
In all seriousness, yes it can and IBM has been helping customers do this for a while now. We've been successful with a large number of customers already and these new announcements build upon our previous success and really enforce our message: "Rethink IT. Reinvent Business."
IBM offers clients the freedom of choice to find solutions that meet their business requirements ranging from a portfolio of cloud solutions targeted directly at the enterprise to a choice of delivery models (public, private and hybrid) as well as expertise and service management capabilities.
There are a number of announcements in this launch across every brand in IBM (all of which are on the website).
For this blog post, I'm going to focus on IBM SmartCloud Foundation.
IBM SmartCloud Foundation
There's a full press release on this, but basically the SmartCloud Foundation family of private cloud solutions help companies quickly design and deploy private cloud environments with a new level of control over cloud service delivery and management.
As organizations take the next step beyond virtualized data center and begin to expand their cloud environments, they are concerned with managing what has become known as "image sprawl."
The SmartCloud Foundation portfolio contains these offerings:
There's the main website for the launch and I would also point you to the Tivoli website pages forcused on Cloud Service Delivery And Management.
For more information around everything that is happening with IBM SmartCloud contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.
And be sure to follow @ibmcloud on Twitter and keep an eye on the #ibmcloud hashtag for more information, blogs, materials as we release them.
PS nothing against Zookeeper, but it got stuck in my brain after watching Six Days To Air: The Making of South Park.
The Magic Quadrant For Application Portfolio Management
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  analyst-report apm service-management magic-quadrant ism 3,591 Visits
Good news from the Application Portfolio Monitoring (APM) team.
The 2011 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) has been released, Gartner has identified IBM as a leader.
I think I speak for everyone at IBM when I say, "W00T!" (which is leet, for "awesome!")
Talking to customers, this is no surprise. The APM portfolio is a "fan favorite" among companies worldwide and IBM is delivering solutions built on innovative technologies that provide superior value for our customers and their business.
For folks familiar with our APM portfolio and for new readers (welcome), I recommend getting your hands on a copy of the Garnter Magic Quadrant for APM and see what they have to say.
Next, there a number of useful pages about IBM Tivoli monitoring solutions on ibm.com.
And, of course, contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website to talk about the Magic Quadrant and how the product portfolio can meet your business needs.
In the comments section below, please feel free to talk about the APM portfolio and how you are using the products in the portfolio.
The October Business Agility Launch: It Starts Here
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  analytics ism bizagility tbsm bsm business-agility service-management 2,646 Visits
I am going to tell you a story, and the truth is it's probably pretty familiar to you already.
Here goes: in today's competitive market, your services are what make your organization innovative. They are what set you apart from your competition.
They are what have taken your IT from being seen as a "cost center" to playing a role as one of the most crucial parts of your organization's success (or failure).
The services you provide are what make your organization innovative. Failure on the part of IT can mean failure for everyone.
(No pressure. Am I right?)
By definition, a competitive market is one that is in constant states of change. New customer demands. Competitive maneuvers. New service offerings. Industry or government regulations.
Speed is of the essence. But, of course there's the need to ensure that everything stays within the governance you've put in place, your security policies and of course you're trying to be as risk adverse as possible.
Doing all of this while navigating the complexity of your IT.
(Like I said. No pressure.)
This is the story you already are pretty familiar with. So now, let's talk about what we do about this.
Today, Tivoli along with Rational and WebSphere are a part of a larger IBM Software Group launch around Business Agility.
There are a number of announcements around Business Agility - about providing you with "business agility levers" that assist with combinations of technology capabilities that accelerate the path to agility with reduced cost and greater efficiency.
This is the start of a series of blogs where we'll be discussing a number of the business agility levers. Today, I'm going to talk about one; Predictive Business Service Management. My next blog will focus on Collaborative Development & Operations.
Predictive Business Service Management
With Business Service Management solutions from IBM, organizations are able to put services in the proper business context so that both IT and the business teams can accurately see the complex relationships their services and supporting technology infrastructure have with each other.
On Tuesday, IBM announced a new version of the Tivoli Business Service Manager solution. Key to this new version (Announcement 211-444) are role-based dashboards with easy self-service, drag & drop capabilities to customize a user's visibility into key service health indicators, KPIs, and business or IT detail required for their role or tackling a current issue.
That level of "Visibility" can be taken to a new level when organizations leverage Predictive Analytics.
Business service disruptions and outages cost organizations millions of dollars per year. Even with existing investments in infrastructure monitoring and performance management solutions, organizations are often unaware of an impending service issue…until it is too late.
Predictive Business Service Management identifies performance issues in an organization's IT and network infrastructure prior to these costly service disruptions or outages. With this type of early warning system, detection is done early enough that mitigating steps can be taken to stop the issue from ever negatively impacting critical application or business services. Put simply: it finds problems before the organization knows to look for them.
Also on Tuesday, IBM previewed a new solution for predictive business service management that will address predictive business service management (Announcement 211-468).
For more information around everything that is happening around the Business Agility launch contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.
Also, we're doing something a bit new with this announcement. The IBM Software Group Blog, Impact Blog, Rational Blog and this blog are all telling the story together. You'll be able to click across the different blogs and get more information about all aspects of this launch.
Update: there's a great website for the Business Agility launch, specific to Tivoli and service management on our website.

Video Series: Managing Heterogeneous And Hybrid Environments In The Cloud
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  integrated-service-manage... virtualization vca service-management get-cloud-ready hybrid video ism 3,285 Visits
Rod Atkins (my General Manager back when I worked in pSeries and now Senior Vice President, IBM Systems and Technology Group) has been using the term "tune to task" in place of "fit for purpose."
In her guest blog post on the Mainframe Zone, Mary Shacklett does an excellent job in explaining why words do matter.
What I took away from this is that, either way, it speaks to the need for Visibility, Control and Automation™ (VCA).
The realities of the business today are based on heterogenous environments that continue to transform and evolve and becoming increasingly complex as you start to build private clouds and then as you start to pull public cloud resources into your organization to then create a "hybrid" cloud environment.
Much like what we discussed in the security video, the fundamentals are still the same. This becomes a conversation multiple platforms. "Tuned to task." Requiring the same levels of VCA as you use to maintain the levels of governance and reduce risk and for your business before you embarked on this journey.
"Have it to you by lunch, boss!" I'm sure is not the answer that you give. Right?
Here's the thing: it's not all doom and gloom. By any means.
Bowman Hall and Barbara Korte are back to talk about some of the challenges our customers are facing managing heterogeneous and hybrid environments in the Cloud, and what IBM can do to assist.
They discuss a broad range of questions you might be thinking about (like managing multiple hypervisors) but more importantly they discuss the approach that only IBM has for providing VCA as the cornerstone for your service management practice.
As a marketing guy, I can tell you that we planned it so that VCA was the central theme for all of our videos (YouTube playlist).
Take time to watch the video (and the others in our playlist) and contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website to talk about VCA and what you're doing with cloud in your organization and get cloud ready!.

A few years ago, I worked on organizing an analyst summit for IBM where we announced the (then new) IBM Security Framework.*
Cut to today and the IBM Security Framework is still at the foundation of Smarter security solutions from IBM.
The IBM Security Framework. Visibility, Control and Automation.™
when we talk to customers about how to address their business pains, the fundamentals remain the same even though the technology continues to advance in new directions.
With Cloud and Virtualization in particular, the technology is certainly changing at a pretty fast clip.
Take a look at the fourth video in our series, "Cloud Enabling Your Data Center: Security and the Cloud" where Joe Anthony, IBM Director, Security, Risk & Compliance Product Management, talks about the IBM Security Framework and how it addresses the Cloud and business pains our customers are trying ot address.
The message and the focus of security and the Cloud is still very much rooted in the IBM Security Framework.
As a reminder, the entire video series can be seen using the YouTube Playlist (Get Cloud Ready).
For more information contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.

A few years ago, IBM began talking about Visibility, Control and Automation™ (VCA).
VCA is the cornerstone of Integrated Service Management. It's how we help clients achieve success.
VCA is not only critical for optimizing return on Virtualization and Cloud, it also applied to end-to-end business services.
To steal a phrase: it's about the service.
The third video in our series is "Cloud Enabling Your Data Center: The Importance of Integrated Service Management In The Cloud" and it is presented once again by Bowman Hall and Barbara Korte.
Bowman and Barbara do two things in this video: they give a great overview of Integrated Service Management and its concepts as well as talk to how that aligns with technologies such as Virtualization and Cloud.
Achieving world-class business services for your organization does not mean abandoning the tenants of your service management practice.
Visibility, Control and Automation™. In a cloud computing environment.
We call it Integrated Service Management.

Episode 2 of our Cloud video series (see previous blog post) is live.
One of the advantages of virtualization is the ability to "grow" the data center without having to constnatly add new hardware. That said, those virtualized servers need to be managed efficiently, or the benefits are quickly lost.

My bosses gave me a very simple task, "Solve the confusion surrounding some of the questions our customers have around cloud computing and service management."
I told them I'd have it done before lunch.
And if you believe that, you have way too much faith in my marketing abilities (hi, mom!).
In all seriousness, you have questions about cloud computing. Lots of questions.
Cloud is everywhere and there's a lot of information that our customers are having to sift and sort through.
Which is why back in May, I assembled a group of sales leads, marketing peers, development executives...literaly a "who's who" of cloud computing at IBM and asked them this:
What are the questions our customers have around cloud?
That started a series of conversations that led us to several core questions, and we got to work.
We enlisted some of our top people working on cloud and we asked them to get in front of a video camera and talk directly to you about these questions.
The result is a video series we call, "Cloud Enabling Your Data Center."
Today, we are releasing the first video: "Achieving Greater Efficiencies With Virtualization And Cloud Computing (Service Management Across The Entire Infrastructure)"
This video features two of our top sales executives; Bowman Hall and Barbara Korte. Barbara is a sales executive for Integrated Service Management and you might remember Bowman Hall from the Cloud demo during the Pulse General Session.
As I said, this is the first of the video series. Future videos will be released in the next few weeks.
We also have a short URL that goes to a landing page we've put togther with additional cloud materials and (most importantly) a full list of Pulse Comes To You and Impact Comes To You events that are happening in your area.
Even if you went to Pulse or Impact in Las Vegas this past year, these local events are great opportunities to deep-dive into a topic like cloud computing as well as meet your peers and local subject matter experts.
More to come and please feel free to comment below about your thoughts on Cloud.
And, as always - for more information contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.
PS also this week, we announced a new version of IBM Tivoli Service Automation Manager (Announcement Letter 211-256). The new release allows IT service providers to onboard multiple customers, deploy IT services very quickly across multiple platforms and hypervisors, maximize resource utilization and drive cloud operations effectiveness and efficiency by adding storage support and expanding on network integration. Learn more about the new features and the product on the product page.
The Mainframe Of The People

If I was a minstrel, I'd be writing a song about our most recent press release (yes, I still have Game of Thrones on my mind).
On Tuesday, IBM announced an exciting new offering in the mainframe portfolio.
New IBM zEnterprise Mainframe Server Advances Smarter Computing for Companies and Governments in Emerging Markets and Mid-size Clients around the World breaks it down as follows:
Many of the analysts have focused on the $75,000 entry price point. And that's cool.
There are customers who on Monday didn't think that they could afford a mainframe and are today putting it on their short list. What they will find is a platform that is highly reliable and will help them achieve the levels of innovation needed to drive their business.
Of course, I'm an Integrated Service Management guy and at the end of the day it's all about the service.
Which is why the good news is that we provide a Integrated Service Management capabilities and portfolio solutions for the mainframe.
Fill Bowen wrote up a good blog on the subject and we published a statement of direction* (Announcement Letter: 211-271) to support the announcement.
A solid portfolio of hardware and software that continues to get stronger. To quote Ana Gasteyer as Martha Stewart, "It's a good thing."
For more information contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website and feel free to leave comments below about your positive experiences with the mainframe.

Impact 2011 joins Pulse* in the rear view mirror as IBM continues to truck through 2011.
The next stop in the convoy is Innovate. June 5-9 in Orlando, FL.
What is Innovate? Well, one of my fellow marketing folks worked very hard on this description of Innovate, so I'm just going to paste it in the section below:
Translation: if you work with software, and especially if you work with Rational, this is your show!
The Integrated Service Management team will be there in full force, focusing on design and delivery.
Gina Poole, VP Marketing, IBM Rational is hosting the show and if I haven't convinced you already then maybe this will. Keynote speaker, two words: Felicia Day!
For those unfamiliar, take a moment to listen to her keynote at SXSW and you'll start to understand why she's one of the most innovative and successful creators working in the entertainment industry. (and, on a personal note. I got to meet her briefly at SXSW and she's one of the nicest people on the planet)
Registration is open. Put it in fifth gear and get to the Innovate page to register and we look forward to seeing you there.
And, of course, more news on where to find us at Innovate the closer we get to the conference. In the meantime, you can follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #ibminnovate.

Video: Integrated Service Management Simulator Workshop At Pulse

Last time we talked about the Integrated Service Management Simulator Workshop At Pulse, the review from Rich Ptak, the Virtual Simulator game and then we hinted at the video we shot during the session.
Well, here's the video!
As someone who does this every day, I'm sure that you'll agree it captures the "ordered chaos" that is your job and captures your struggle to achieve best practices with service management excellence at your company.
It's worth it to pass this video to some of your non-IT colleagues at your company so they can get a feel for what you're up against.
It might also be helpful to follow it up with lunch and listen to their reaction to the video and talk about how you can work together going forward.
Oh, and don't forget. We run these workshops at our customer sites all year. If you're looking to have one done, contact David Ojalvo directly for more information (daojalvo [at]us [dot] ibm [dot] com).
