An Open Letter to London on Her 6th Birthday
Dear London,
This has been quite a year. After the expected adjustment period at your new school, you have settled in well. You even made so many new friends this year that we invited over 30 kids to your birthday party tomorrow. You have a thirst for knowledge and have soaked up so much in Kindergarten. I'm often amazed at just how much you remember and retain at such a young age. You can read quite well now and are not only good with sight words but good with sounding out words you don't know. You also can not wait to start 1st grade, declaring so after I picked you up from Grammi's after the first weekend school had let out for summer.
You've also recently shown a keen interest in cooking and I am trying to let you in the kitchen with me as much as possible. This happens more on weekends when we're not trying to get a meal on the table as fast as possible because everyone is hungry. You love watching cooking shows. You started out watching my recordings of Pioneer Woman and we now record Chopped Junior too. I hope this interest continues and develops into you trying new foods - you still retain a picky pallet.
This year you joined your first organized club - 4H. You participated in two project groups - Baking & Wildlife and enjoyed both. I also learned by watching you that you are not afraid to ask questions in big groups. Your last meeting for the year was Wednesday. At it, the District 4H representatives came and presented on bullying which included a video. After the video they asked several questions. You weren't afraid to answer, raising your hand and waiting to be called on. You were one of about three kids answering in a group of about 30, spanning a range of Kindergarten through 8th grade. That is one thing I love about our new school - you have friends in almost every grade.
The school has also sparked a small interest of yours in Basketball and Cheerleading. Once summer swim lessons conclude, your dad and I plan to evaluate venues for gymnastics. And we'll definitely look at getting you signed up for youth basketball - that is in your blood.
We'll be ending the summer with a trip to Disneyland. You're quite excited about it as you know you are now tall enough for California Screamin' and you have an interest in trying Space Mountain and Tower of Terror again - now that you're not afraid of the dark.
You have a strong love for your animals - each and every one of them. You graciously take turns with Sydney as to who gets what dog each night, though lately you seem partial to Gibson. I think this is because Sydney tends to reject Gibson for Tulley. Even Kelsey Lou has warmed up to you and allows you to pet her when you approach her the proper way.
The bond between you & Sydney continues to grow. Of course, you two bicker and argue and know how to push each others buttons to the best of your abilities, but you also look out for her and continue to let her get her way much of the time. You're often considerate of her feelings and when the two of you are getting along well, it makes for a wonderful scene for your dad and me to see.
I love that you love your Christmas Elf, Snowie, so much that you write notes to him throughout the year. You were quite surprised to see that Santa had allowed him to come down and surprise you with a visit this morning. I'm glad you appreciate the magic of the Christmas season as much as I do, and don't focus just on your list of wants. All you wanted for your birthday this year was a pink tent and a Doc McStuffin's vet kit. We'll see if these wishes come true today and tomorrow.
Tomorrow is your birthday party. We purchased a giant, inflatable waterslide. I'll admit I'm happy only about 10-15 kids will actually be able to attend the party too. That way there won't be such a line for the slide and we got a two-slide Slip and Slide to add to the water play. I'm also looking forward to meeting more of your friends at school.
And oh how I wonder what this next year will bring. Keep it up baby girl - every day is a joy.

Hello Summer!
Today is London's last day of Kindergarten! Looking back, it feels like it has flown by. And I wish I was there with her. It's only a half day. It starts with Frog Jump competitions and ends with a school BBQ.
Looking back at the picture of her from the 1st day of Kindergarten, I can really see how much she, and our grape vines, have grown!
|1st Day of Kindergarten
|Last Day of Kindergarten
We're also glad that London made it to the last week of school. She missed all of last week due to a virus and pneumonia. She only started to act like normal self on Sunday! It's probably been a good thing that she only had half days these last 3 days.
London will be heading back to her old daycare next week. She is excited to see old friends and teachers and Sydney is excited London will be back at "her" school.
We have a few fun things planned for the summer, starting with London's birthday next week and ending with a trip to Disneyland. We've also set a few goals for London this summer.
1. Learn to wake up to an alarm clock instead of mom and become a self starter in the
2. Learn to tie shoe laces
3. Learn to ride a two-wheeler
We happened to go to Chuck E. Cheese last night to celebrate McKenzie's 3rd birthday and London really started to grasp the concept of games and tickets. She got very upset when she was out of tokens to play games, so we made a deal - when she learns to tie shoe laces we will go to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate.
Let the fun begin!

Spring around The Homestead
|My roses are blooming like crazy - and they are huge this year!
|Our wedding arch and the grapes
The garden is coming along great. Almost all of my spring and summer crops are planted. Unfortunately, my tomato and basil sprouts from the laundry room didn't survive the hardening process this year. We broke down and purchased 6 tomato plants at Costco and 6 more plants at a local nursery. We also purchased 6 basil plants from Costco.
My pepper seeds took forever to sprout and by the time they did, I had already purchased other plants. I managed to get 6 of 12 bell pepper seeds to sprout and I did plant those in the ground without hardening them. Only 3 survived and are still quite small. It's as if I need to plant tomato and pepper seeds in November to have the plants ready for garden planting! I may just stick to purchasing plants from the nursery from now on.
The chickens have been growing fast! And we're pretty sure we have at least 3 roosters. At least it's not 6 or 8. They've been moved into the coop outside for a few weeks now. This was after Cameron not only improved it so we don't have a repeat attack by a coyote and expanded it! The expansion will allow us to separate the Turkeys from the Chicken food when they get too big.
|The Turkey Expansion Area
We purchased two bronze Turkeys a couple of weeks ago. They are currently smaller than the chicken but were much older than the age we got a turkeys last year. We've brought them out to the coop a few times for some socialization with the chickens, but until they get all their feathers, they will spend their nights in the garage. We think we scored 2 Toms this year!
|Lloyd & Harry (or Henrietta if Harry turns out to be a girl)
Cameron is also working on building a coyote-proof pen just behind our main backyard area, too. That's because we're getting baby goats! These are Boer goats, which is the preferred breed for meat goats. These two little gals won't be dinner just yet, though. We plan to breed these two and raise their offspring for meat. Of course, we have plenty of people asking us if we will be making goat cheese. We're not quite ready for that kind of work and commitment, sorry.
|London's Goat - Sunny
|Sydney's Goat - Roxie
|The soon-to-be Goat Pen
|The Goat House - soon to be painted Red
|We'll see how the goats like being next to the dogs
London was feeding Sophie in the mornings, but that chore now belongs to Sydney. One morning Sydney burst into tears when we explained that feeding Sophie was London's chore. Sydney said she wanted a chore board, so guess what my weekend project is?! (Of course, things have been so busy, that has been a weekend project for a few weeks too).
Sorry for my absence - I'm behind in all areas of my life right now. Just trying to stay afloat is hard.

London's 1st 4-H Presentation
The weekend before Easter included a 4-H Baking Club meeting for London, and by default me (don't get me wrong, I love it. I attend the baking meetings and Cameron goes with her to the Wildlife meetings).
At this meeting, London needed to give a oral presentation on any subject she wanted. Oral presentations are part of the "curriculum" of 4-H, mainly designed to help kids learn to speak in front of large groups of people. Because London is at the primary level, she could have either done this presentation in front of a couple of the 4-H leaders, a small club group or in front of the entire 4-H Club organization at one of the general meetings. After watching a few presentations at the general meetings, I asked London if she wanted to do her presentation there or at a Baking club meeting. Of course, London opted for the smaller group.
I didn't give London the option of doing it in front of just club leaders, as I do want her to learn to be comfortable speaking in front of large groups. I still have a hard time with presenting. The last time I had to do one, I could feel my whole face go red and I almost fainted (tunnel vision started to set in, but luckily it was a short presentation.)
And it worked out well, as at this meeting the kids were making cupcakes so there would be some downtime where the presentation would be good filler.
Cameron and I both helped steer London in her presentation topic since she originally said she wanted to do it on the color pink. We bribed her into covering Baking Basics, by telling her she would get to make a blueberry coffee cake two times - what can I say the kid loves to bake.
The first time was the weekend before the meeting. London loved not only getting to bake but also getting to use the camera for the first time to take pictures for her presentation board. While we went through the steps, I quizzed London on different things that need to be done while baking, from washing hands before getting started to having adult supervision when using the oven. I then wrote these basic guidelines down into a presentation dialog, trying to use words I knew London knew or could sound out.
A few revisions were made before I wrote the presentation onto index cards. The night before the presentation, London made the coffee cake again, and cut out and glued the pictures for the board. She even copied over my writing for the title on the board. The cutest part was London kept wanting to practice reading her presentation out load, which really helped her. Such a good habit to get into.
When it came time for the actual presentation, London got nervous. Luckily, you only get support and encouragement in 4-H. Everyone encouraged her to do what ever made her comfortable - to the point that they would have let her read the cards from behind a chair. But London was able to read her presentation while sitting on a chair.
My goals for London in this presentation were to read her cards and do it in front of the group. She exceeded those expectations and I was so proud of her for doing it. Everyone loved the coffee cake too. Plus, it was a nice Thank you we could leave behind at the Firehouse, since the local firemen loaned us the use of their kitchen for the meeting.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get too many pictures or video of the presentation as London quickly wanted me sitting near to help during the presentation.
|This was one of the cupcakes London made at the meeting - she named them "Rainbow Amazing" with the help of one of the older girls

Happy Spring!
Things have been busy around the homestead lately. The weekend before Easter felt as if it was dedicated to birthday parties and 4-H, which included London's first ever formal presentation. But that's a post for another time.
This past weekend we celebrated Easter. This of course included our tradition of quiche Lorraine (minus the crust) for brunch, homemade pizza for lunch and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting made from scratch for dinner. Yes, I said dinner.
I tried a new thin-crust pizza dough recipe, swapping all-purpose flour for whole wheat. It turned out pretty good and allowed the flavors of the toppings to really shine through.
On Saturday, Sydney's best friend McKenzie came over for a play date. Toward the end of the day the 3 girls dyed hard boiled eggs, that we haven't done a thing with since. But they loved it - they only wished there had been more to dye. Dyeing eggs goes quite quickly in comparison to the time it takes to get set up, and to hard boil the eggs!
The Easter Bunny came that night and filled the girls' baskets with a ton of candy and left candy filled eggs throughout the yard for the girls to find the next morning. McKenzie and her parents, Matt & Lynde joined us for brunch and the egg hunt, too. With help from us adults, they had found all the eggs within a 1/2 hour or so.
Easter weekend also brought the arrival of London's spring break, and my parents! They came into town to help with childcare this week. They whisked London away Sunday evening for an in-town vacation. They usually stay at a hotel when visiting and this time, they made sure there was a bed for London too. On London's wish list of to dos? Go golfing (which really means putting practice), have lunch at Ikea, go to the park and see Zootopia at the movie theater.
Today, my parents will pick up Sydney to join in on the fun - just in time for Cameron and I to go see the San Francisco Giants take on their AAA team, the Sacramento Rivercats, in an exhibition game here at Raley Field. We bought a pack of season tickets just so we could go to this game. Cameron and I can't wait!
And Sydney can't wait to join her sister and grandparents. She had a bit of a hard time on Monday going to school. She wanted to stay home and she said she was missing her sister - mainly she wanted to go to the movie theater since London had mentioned it. Luckily, I was able to convince her that the idea of making popcorn at home and having a movie night at home with Mommy and Daddy that night would be just as fun. And she did have a blast mixing the popcorn and eating it for dinner.
Hope your Easter weekend was enjoyable too.

Indy and Mola Ram fight to the death, while a Thugee looks on...
Any thoughts?

You've done a brilliant job with Mola Ram, his headdress is very nice, and I like the idea of both a black and red cape, simple yet effective. I'm not so sure about the face though, may I suggest Cannonball Taylor's from Speed Racer instead? From what I can see, the Thuggee looks good, and the Satipo torso works well on Indy, that torso is very useful indeed.

Did you know they could only shoot the bridge scene once? (Where it snaps!)
The way you did the two capes to make it look like one was on the inside is
Well done! This makes me want to make a Mola Ram.

I love it very much. It simply reminded me of its movie scene. Furthermore, the broken bridge was done very well. Mola Ram's helmet looked exactly like the movie. How did you manage to do it?

Camberwell pool is always busy at lunchtimes but not too bad today and reasonably clean.
Rather busy between 1230-130 on a weekday
Good local gym. Not too busy at weekends. However, shame they don't have a sauna and jacuzzi etc... Would be nice!
I had this (usually very busy) 25m pool almost to myself at 2pm on Tuesday during half term week. Reasonably clean as London pools go. Men's changing area is modern, mostly open with a couple of cubicles, good showers.
Great local gym. can get a bit busy at peak times though, so best to avoid then. Good pool too.
Good that they have a women's only night on Tuesdays
I've only used the pool, but it's great, clean and fairly quite with wide lanes.
first time at this place and so far so good.
Let's see next time.
The pool was nice and warm and the showers were lovely and hot, makes swimming on a rainy cold evening in November much more bearable!
Clean, nice pool and the staff are helpful.

Children and adults with autism would benefit from two measures that passed out of the Illinois Senate with the support of Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park).
Senate Bill 345, which Harmon sponsored, acknowledges that autism is a whole-body disorder that affects more than simply a person's neurology and behavior. The legislation would empower physicians to approach their diagnoses more effectively and would prohibit health insurance companies from restricting covered treatments for patients who have autism.
Studies have shown that medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal and immunodeficiency problems, commonly occur in people on the autism spectrum. When properly diagnosed and treated, not only do these medical conditions improve, so, too, do the autism symptoms.
"It is not uncommon for medical providers to dismiss underlying medical symptoms simply as autism and miss the opportunity to adequately evaluate and treat patients," Harmon said. "Senate Bill 345 eliminates a bureaucratic barrier and encourages providers to be more thorough with their medical evaluations and recommendations for treatment."
The legislation creates the Autism and Co-Occurring Medical Conditions Awareness Act. It passed unanimously in the Senate and in the House. It now goes to Gov. Bruce Rauner to be signed into law.
Laura Cellini, a parent advocate from Springfield, supports the legislation. She noted that people with autism have a mortality rate that is 10 times that of their peers of the same age.
"Often this is due to their inability to receive accurate diagnoses and treatment for their underlying health issues," she said. "That is why this legislation is so critical to improving health outcomes for people with autism."
In addition, Harmon supported House Bill 4257, which would allow people on the autism spectrum to be issued state-issued wallet cards that identify them as autistic. The cards can be shown to police officers, firefighters and others during high-stress encounters in which the cardholder is unable to communicate effectively.
Individuals with developmental disabilities, autism and mental illness can have difficulty communicating with other people, especially during heightened situations, prompting law enforcement professionals and others to mistake them as simply being difficult or defiant. The wallet card would be a signal for authorities to de-escalate the situation.
The cards would be issued by the Illinois Secretary of State's office.
The legislation was sponsored by Senator Linda Holmes (D-Aurora) and Representative Stephanie Kifowit (D-Oswego). Harmon was a co-sponsor in the Senate.
"As we continue to learn about the causes and symptoms of autism – a disorder that affects thousands of Illinois families and individuals every day – it is critical that we do whatever we can to offer people the kinds of resources they need to thrive," Harmon said. "Ensuring they are not denied needed medical treatment and giving them the ability to communicate effectively when the stakes are high are just two ways we can help."
A measure prohibiting new state regulation of training for yoga teachers will head to Gov. Bruce Rauner's desk to be signed into law.
Senate Bill 2743, sponsored by Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) and Representative Daniel Burke (D-Chicago), garnered bipartisan support as a pro-business measure that curbs government regulation where it's unneeded.
"There's simply no reason for Illinois to regulate something that, for most people, is a personal pursuit, not a profession or a career," Harmon said. "It makes no sense from a business standpoint, from a government standpoint or from a practical standpoint."
Harmon's legislation exempts yoga instruction and yoga teacher training from state oversight as a trade, occupation, vocation or professional school.
Several yoga teacher training programs in Illinois were notified earlier this year by the Illinois Board of Higher Education that they were subject to state regulation as vocational schools and that they must obtain IBHE approval to operate in the state.
The measure passed unanimously in the Illinois House on Wednesday. It passed unanimously in the Senate in April.
Saying the state lacks adequate information about Illinois' recovering bobcat population, Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) has proposed a prohibition on trapping the animals and selling their pelts.
Senate Bill 2143, which passed out of a Senate committee on Thursday, does not repeal recently enacted state law that allows hunting of bobcats.
"If it was up to me, I would take bobcats off the list of animals that can be hunted in Illinois," Harmon said. "But under this legislation, folks still can hunt bobcats in an effort to manage the population in a responsible and humane way. They just can't trap them."
Currently, bobcat pelts have a market price of about $35 in Illinois. Harmon said he is concerned that Illinois is creating a market for the pelts of an animal that not long ago was a threatened species here.
Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation in July 2015 allowing licensed hunters to kill one bobcat per season. The practice had been banned in Illinois for about 40 years because the population had dwindled. Bobcats were removed from the state's threatened species list in 1999.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources estimates there are 3,000 bobcats in southern Illinois, 2,000 in western Illinois and 1,500 in other parts of the state. More precise figures and other data about the state's bobcat population are unknown, though. The animals are nocturnal and reclusive.
"We don't have the numbers, and we don't have all the facts. Let's slow down and not create a market for pelts of an animal whose population is still coming back," Harmon said.
"If we're going to kill animals, I would like for people to use all of the resources those animals provide. That's the responsible thing to do. But it troubles me that bobcat hunting rules are rushed and without the benefit of having all the facts.
"Let's not inadvertently create the incentives to hunt for sport only animals that were recently endangered and may still well be threatened."
Yoga instructors would continue to be free from state government regulation under legislation sponsored by Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park).
Senate Bill 2743 exempts yoga instruction and yoga teacher training from state regulation as a trade, occupation, vocation or profession.
"Over-regulation of yoga training disproportionately would impact small, women-owned businesses and advantage large chain fitness clubs," Harmon said. "That's not good for business in Illinois."
The Illinois Board of Higher Education has discretion in determining what types of programs and courses it considers to be occupational or vocational in nature. For example, IBHE regulates training for nurse aids, dental assistants, accountants and HVAC technicians, all of which clearly are vocations.
However, teaching yoga typically is a personal pursuit, not a profession or a career path, Harmon said, noting that the state does not regulate certain ballet, karate or pilates instruction.
Yet several yoga teacher training schools in Illinois recently were notified by IBHE that they are subject to state regulation for training programs and that they must obtain IBHE approval to operate in the state.
"Yoga has been practiced successfully for thousands of years without government regulation. I see no reason to intrude now," Harmon said.
SB2743 unanimously passed out of the Senate's Higher Education Committee and will head to the Senate floor for a full vote.

We're all familiar with convertible tablets—plug your slate into a keyboard dock, turn it into a bizarro laptop. Simple, straightforward, sensible. Well, that wasn't enough for Asus, which has now taken the convertible concept into a strange new direction.
Behold the new Transformer AiO, which was announced by the company yesterday. This system is an iMac-like all-in-one desktop PC with an 18.4", 1920x1080 IPS touch screen... and that touch screen just happens to double as a removable tablet.
The Transformer AiO is really two systems in one. The desktop portion runs Windows 8 and is powered by an Ivy Bridge Core processor (a choice of i3-3220, i5-3350P, and i7-3770 models are on offer), GeForce GT 730M 2GB discrete graphics, and up to 8GB of system memory. Asus also supplies 1-2TB of mechanical storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet, and even a slot-loading DVD burner.
The removable tablet, meanwhile, sports Android 4.1 running atop an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of dedicated RAM, and 32GB of solid-state storage. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are included, as are a card reader, a "G-Sensor," a mini USB 2.0 port, and a dedicated docking port.
It's an interesting combination to be sure, but I'm not certain I see the utility of a jumbo tablet without a keyboard dock. The Transformer AiO's removable slate weighs a hefty 5.3 lbs and measures 18.3" x 0.7" x 11.6", which is about as big as a full-sized laptop. I'd imagine it would get uncomfortable to hold after a short web surfing session on the couch. As Asus points out, though, the tablet can be propped up on a table using its integrated, Surface-like kickstand, and you can drive the other half of the machine from afar via Remote Desktop. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard, and you could...
Yeah, no. I still don't see it.
This discussion is now closed.

Visual Cloud Computing Methods Could Help First Responders in Disaster Scenarios
Algorithms developed by MU researchers could provide critical data for quick decisions
COLUMBIA, Mo. – In natural or man-made disasters, the ability to process massive amounts of visual electronic data quickly and efficiently could mean the difference between life and death for survivors. Visual data created by numerous security cameras, personal mobile devices and aerial video provide useful data for first responders and law enforcement. That data can be critical in terms of knowing where to send emergency personnel and resources, tracking suspects in man-made disasters, or detecting hazardous materials. Recently, a group of computer science researchers from the University of Missouri developed a visual cloud computing architecture that streamlines the process.
"In disaster scenarios, the amount of visual data generated can create a bottleneck in the network," said Prasad Calyam, assistant professor of computer science in the MU College of Engineering. "This abundance of visual data, especially high-resolution video streams, is difficult to process even under normal circumstances. In a disaster situation, the computing and networking resources needed to process it may be scarce and even not be available. We are working to develop the most efficient way to process data and study how to quickly present visual information to first responders and law enforcement."
The research team, including Kannappan Palaniappan and Ye Duan, associate professors in the Department of Computer Science, developed a framework for disaster incident data computation that links the system to mobile devices in a mobile cloud. Algorithms designed by the team help determine what information needs to be processed by the cloud and what information can be processed on local devices, such as laptops and smartphones. This spreads the processing over multiple devices and helps responders receive the information faster.
"Often, we see many of the same images from overlapping cameras," Palaniappan said. "Responders generally do not need to see two separate pictures but rather the distinctive parts. That mosaic stitching that we helped define happens in the periphery of the network to limit the amount of data that needs to be sent to the cloud. This is a natural way of compressing visual data without losing information. Clever algorithms help determine what types of visual processing to perform in the edge or fog of the network, and what data and computation should be done in the core cloud."
"Incident-supporting visual cloud computing utilizing software-defined networking" recently was published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology in a special issue on cloud computing for mobile devices. Guna Seetharaman of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory also contributed to the study. Funding for the project came from a combination of ongoing grants from the National Science Foundation, Air Force Research Laboratory and the U.S. National Academies Jefferson Science Fellowship.

FEMA Urges Businesses to Use FEMA Smartphone App to Prepare for Disasters
Free App Provides Potentially Lifesaving Information Designed to Help Businesses, Employees and Families Before, During, and After Disasters
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is urging residents across the nation to download and use the FEMA smartphone app. The app is designed to help businesses, employees, and their families prepare for a wide array of natural and man-made disasters, and can help affected Americans recover, should disaster strike.
According to a recent survey by Pew Research, 40 percent of Americans have used their smartphone to look up government services or information. Additionally, a majority of smartphone owners use their devices to keep up to date with breaking news, and to be informed about what is happening in their community.
Some key features of the app include:
- National Weather Service Alerts: The app enables users to receive weather alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations across the nation. This new feature allows users to receive alerts on severe weather happening anywhere they select in the country, even if the phone is not located in the area, making it easy to follow severe weather that may be threatening family and friends.
- Safety Tips: Tips on how to stay safe before, during, and after over 20 types of hazards, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.
- Preparation Checklist: Helps users put together emergency kits and develop family communication plans to determine how they will reunite with loved ones in the event of a disaster.
- Maps of Disaster Resources: Users can locate and receive driving directions to open shelters and disaster recovery centers.
- Apply for Assistance: The app provides easy access to apply for federal disaster assistance.
- Information in Spanish: The app defaults to Spanish-language content for smartphones that have Spanish set as their default language.
The latest version of the FEMA app is available for free in the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android devices. For more information visit https://www.fema.gov/mobile-app.

In the past, building business was associated with stability — creating an organization of lasting value that persisted even through a change of management or some market structure change. Running a business in the face of today's changes, however, alters the nature of business management.
Yahoo Wants to Sell Its 'Chicken Coop' Data Center Designs
Yahoo garnered a lot of attention in 2009, when it announced the unusual design of a data center it was building in Lockport, New York. Shaped like a chicken coop, the facility would rely primarily on outside air for cooling, use a flywheel-based energy storage system, and have an annualized PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) under 1.1, which was better than the average data center PUE Google was reporting at the time.
Now, the patents and patent applications describing the design of the Yahoo Computing Coop data center, also known as the Yahoo Chicken Coop, are for sale. The innovations are part of the trove of thousands of patents and applications the troubled internet giant is hoping to sell. Yahoo expects to make more than $1 billion from the sale, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous sources.
The trove of patents is only one of the assets Yahoo is selling as it continues to wrestle with shrinking revenue. It has been soliciting bids for many of its assets, including its core internet business, according to news reports, with Verizon Communications and AT&T reportedly being top contenders for its core assets.
Designing Business Continuity into Your Business Strategies
Smart risk analysis and planning then helps to avoid gaps and vulnerabilities. This may not be uppermost in the minds of start-ups or established companies.
Often, the priority is given to finding a concept or a position likely to please the market, and then to worry about continuity afterwards. Yet enterprises may find business continuity entering into their life cycles earlier and earlier.
One reason for business continuity to appear sooner instead of later is the predominance of IT in particular in many sectors of business.
Cyber risk management of third party suppliers and partners
Dr. Jim Kennedy explains why managing the cyber risks posed by suppliers and partners is the weak link in many information security plans and looks at how to improve in this area.
Computer, network, and information security is based on three pillars: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In my business as an information & cyber security, business continuity and disaster recovery consultant, I see every day how various sized and types of companies address and balance these three areas along with business needs. Some very well, some not so well, and some really poorly.
Given all the regulations and standards (HIPAA, SOX, NERC-CIP, FISMA, PIPEDA, ISO 27001/2, NIST 800-XXX and etc.) developed and published over the last five or ten years you would think that US businesses and government should be doing much better in securing their computing systems and network infrastructures. However, based on the seemingly never ending stream of cyber events prominent in the press and trade journals almost every day this does not seem to be the case.
The anatomy of a good crisis communications response
Dee Smith and Associates explores what good communications after an incident looks like, looking at some real-world examples and emphasising the important of being transparent during a crisis.
A crisis can be one of the most stressful and testing events that you will likely have to face during your career. And they can make or break individuals, companies or any such group that is unfortunate enough to be dealt one.
Every organization will experience a crisis of some sort during its existence. Crisis management and how a major incident is handled is one of the most crucial processes for an enterprise. A major incident, which is one with a significant negative business consequence, needs to be handled with a well-defined process which is not currently clearly defined in existing methodologies. If you have done crisis management training, then it's likely that you are well prepared and the steps for managing a crisis are documented in your business continuity plan. If not, at least consider the most important factor in any crisis: communication.
The Only Thing You Have to Fear ... Is No Documentation
Compliance is a profession that requires multi-tasking – another profound grasp of the obvious. But in the multi-tasking world, some principles and strategies are more important than others.
My colleague and compliance guru Tom Fox has coined the mantra: "document, document and then make sure you document." My contribution to this same mantra is along the same lines: "If you do not document, then in the eyes of DOJ and the SEC, it did not happen."
Putting aside these pithy mantras, it is important to take a moment and consider the real implications of compliance documentation. A good place to start is the Hitachi enforcement action from last year.

Apple acquires Curvus Pro X to power new Mac OS X Tiger applicationIn need of a modern graphing calculator application for its Mac OS X distributions, Apple stopped coding and went shopping overseas.
Apple Computer has purchased the rights to Arizona Software\'s Curvus Pro X, a powerful and user-friendly equation graphing application designed for Mac OS X, AppleInsider has confirmed.
According to tipsters, Apple bought the software from the Switzerland-based company late this summer and immediately began re-interfacing the application for inclusion in future releases of Mac OS X.
Screenshots: Graphing Calculator 1; Graphing Calculator 2; Graphing Calculator 3; Graphing Calculator 4
A message on Arizona\'s website confirms the sale of Curvus Pro X, but does not single out a buyer: \"On July 22, 2004 Curvus Pro X was bought by an international company and its distribution has been discontinued.\"
Since acquiring the software less than two months ago, Apple has adorned Curvus Pro X in its traditional brushed aluminum theme, and renamed it \"Graphing Calculator.\" Source close to Apple have noted that the company is already distributing the revised application in private seedings of its next-generation \"Tiger\" operating system.
Apple is expected to release Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger in the first half of 2005.

Sir Elton John speaks out on 'untrustworthy' politicians
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Pity Elton shows his own lack of judgement in people by being best buddies with that idiot homophobic junkie Eminem. If it weren't for that, I might actually take his viewpoint into consideration.
So speaks Elton. The man who spends £5,000 a week on flowers.
Yes but Elton spends his own money on flowers, not that of the tax payers of this country! We need people like him to speak out even if we don't like his "floral extravegances"
I for one don't want an apologist for homophobia like Elton John speaking on my behalf.
His association with Eminem is proof that Elton John's primary concern is Elton John regardless of what bigots he will crawl into the sack with.
Does Elton John even support equality for gay relationships? He was a major apologist for the sexual apartheid of civil partnerships.

Drill Snag-Free Holes Through Carpet
Sometimes the easiest way to connect your TV to the incoming cable is to drill through the floor. Is it the best way? Heck no! But can you imagine how much longer it would take to get your cable installed if installers actually fished the wire through the wall and terminated it in a clean-looking receptacle.tramadol online pharmacy
When drilling a hole through carpet it tends to fray and the fibers wrap around the drill bit. Instead of a clean hole, you're left with a tattered mess. Cable Prep, a company that specializes in tools for the Telcomm industry, manufactures the right tool for the job: the 4375 carpet cutter and drill guide.valium online no prescription
The 4375 leaves a small circular cut in the carpet with no messy or frayed edges. (The carpet plug can be recovered and replaced should you decide to remove the cable.) The drill guide also protects against the drill bit snagging loose carpet fibers when drilling through the floor. The guide can accept bits up to 7/16″ in diameter, and an included safety cap protects the cutter blade when not in use.buy xanax online cod
To start the hole, position the tip of the cutter in the desired location on the carpet. Apply pressure on the knurled handle while twisting in a clockwise direction. Tap gently with a hammer if needed. When you remove the tool, it retains the carpet plug. Insert the drill bit into the hole to remove the carpet plug and then reposition the tool in the carpeting hole and drill through the floor.buy ambien no rx
You won't find the 4375 carpet cutter and drill guide via your normal tool buying channels, but a few specialty tool places such as BT&E Utility Products sell the 4375 online for about $32. Replacement cutters cost $15.

Egypt: Ex-Mubarak era PM praises glorious uprising
Cairo: Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq paid tribute on Saturday to the "glorious revolution" that toppled Hosni Mubarak, a dramatic turn-around for the former regime official who fought his way into the runoff elections by appealing to public disenchantment with last year`s uprising.
Shafiq, the last prime minister to serve under Mubarak, vowed there would be no "recreation of the old regime" as he prepared to face off against Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in a runoff on June 16-17.
"I am fed up with being labeled `old regime,`" Shafiq told a news conference in his campaign headquarters. "This talk is no longer valid after seven million people voted for me." When pressed on the issue, he said: "All Egyptians are part of the old regime. Why do you keep saying the same thing over and over again?"
Shafiq and Morsi were the top vote-getters after a two-day election on Wednesday and Thursday which none of the 13 candidates could win outright. Now, both must appeal to the roughly 50 per cent of voters who cast ballots for someone else.
Shafiq appeared to use the news conference to try and cast off his image as an anti-revolution candidate who spoke disparagingly about the youth groups that engineered the anti-Mubarak uprising, reaching out to all segments of society in a bid to rally voters who favored his rivals during the first-round.
A former air force commander and a personal friend of Mubarak`s, Shafiq was booted out of office by a wave of street protests shortly after Mubarak stepped down on February 11, 2011.
The 15 months since Mubarak`s ouster have seen a surge in crime, a faltering economy and seemingly endless street protests, work stoppages and sit-ins. The disorder has fed disenchantment with the revolutionary groups, and may have played to Shafiq`s advanatge.
However, ex-officer Shafiq is also associated with Egypt`s military leadership. The generals who took over from Mubarak, say critics, have mismanaged the transitional period and failed to reform corrupt institutions or to provide security.

Lorne Michaels
- Birthday
- Nov 17, 1944
Producer Lorne Michaels is almost solely responsible for introducing a staggering number of current celebrities into the world spotlight through his immensely popular weekly sketch-comedy series, Saturday Night Live: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Phil Hartman, and… More Bio:
Producer Lorne Michaels is almost solely responsible for introducing a staggering number of current celebrities into the world spotlight through his immensely popular weekly sketch-comedy series, Saturday Night Live: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Phil Hartman, and Will Ferrell, just to name a few.
A native of Canada, Michaels earned an English degree from the University of Toronto and proceeded to leave the country for a stint as an automotive salesman in England. He returned to Canada in 1966 and became half of a popular comedy duo, with fellow writer/comedian Hart Pomerantz who performed on a CBC satire show. The duo's success led to the start of a new show entitled The Hart and Lorne Terrific Hour. In the late '60s, the pair headed south to the States and found themselves writing for The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show. While the show didn't last beyond six weeks, it did lead to assignments writing for such shows as Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. In 1975, Michaels was approached to create a pilot for a late Saturday night spot that had been airing reruns of The Tonight Show. He gathered some unknown writers and comedians together and Saturday Night Live began its first season. Michaels stayed with the show until 1980, left for five years, and returned in 1985 at the request of Brandon Tartikoff, then the NBC chief of programming, in order to save what had since become a failing show. Saturday Night Live has received over 60 Emmy nominations, has won more than a dozen of them, and Michaels has himself earned no less than eight of the awards, five of which were the result of Saturday Night Live.
In 1979, Michaels founded his production company, Broadway Video, through which he developed another sketch-comedy television series called The Kids in the Hall. First attaining success in Canada, the show launched the careers of David Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Scott Thompson, Mark McKinney, and Kevin McDonald, and later aired in the US where it gained a huge cult following. With 1992's Wayne's World, a big-screen adaptation of a popular SNL sketch, Michaels added box-office blockbuster film producer to his resumé. Over the ensuing years, he continued to work on feature film projects while remaining the head-honcho of Saturday Night Live. His films have been a mixture of hits (Tommy Boy) and bombs (The Ladies Man).
In 2006 Michaels scored yet another small screen hit as Executive Producer of 30 Rock, the Emmy-winning NBC sitcom starring SNL alumni Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan as the head writer and star, respectively, of a popular television sketch comedy show (as well as featuring frequent SNL host Alec Baldwin as their arrogant boss), with additional producing duties on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Portlandia (featuring active SNL cast member Fred Armisen) serving to keep the television veteran active during the work week.
