Today we will be talking about VCE's cloud infrastructure product, the Vblock. Gartner's recent study that through next year 60% of enterprises will embrace some form of cloud adoption, has enlightened the competitive cloud vendor market. But at the same time, does the cloud industry need to be driven by vendor competition or vendor collaboration? Archie Hendryx of VCE Technology Solutions discusses this very matter.
EM360°: Could you tell us about VCE and why cloud has played a big part in your company's solutions?
Archie: VCE is a unique start up company formed via joint investments from EMC, Cisco, VMware and Intel that has been operating for just over three years. Its focus is solely on building the world's most advanced converged infrastructure, the Vblock. The Vblock is a pretested, prevalidated and preconfigured and more importantly pre-integrated infrastructure solution of storage, compute, networking and hypervisor; so in other words it ships out as a single SKU and product to the customer.
Personally I like to equate VCE as a revolutionary that has changed the way we view infrastructure as it's manufacturing and selling infrastructure as a product much in the way like you buy a car such as an Audi. When you buy an Audi you may have different components from different vendors that make up that car but what the end user is purchasing is a single product. Similarly with the Vblock while we may use different components from our investors Cisco, EMC, VMware and Intel the end user is acquiring a product. Because it's a standardized product, the Vblock models are exactly the same regardless of geographical location, which completely radicalizes and simplifies the customer experience of infrastructure and consequently mitigates the typical risk associated with it.
As for how the cloud has played a big part in VCE's success, one of the major criticisms of private clouds is that the end user still has to build, manage and maintain the infrastructure to the extent that they are continuing the 'keeping the lights on' approach of IT. Ultimately this lacks the economic benefit that makes cloud computing such an intriguing concept. Hence what we and our customers quickly realized is that a private cloud's success ultimately depends on the stability, reliability, scalability and performance of its infrastructure. By going the Vblock route our customers immediately attain that stability, reliability, scalability and performance and consequently accelerate their private cloud initiatives. For example with support issues, VCE alone are the owner of the ticket because the Vblock is their product. Once the Vblock has been shipped out problems that might potentially be faced by a customer in Glasgow can easily be tested on a like-for-like standard Vblock in our labs. This rapidly resolves performance issues or trouble tickets.
The other distinctive feature of the Vblock is its accelerated deployment. We ship to the customer a ready assembled logically configured product and solution in only 30-45 working days, from procurement to production. This has an immediate effect in terms of the reduction in cost of ownership, especially when the businesses demand that instant platform for their new projects.
EM360°: Your latest cloud infrastructure solution sees your components from the Vblock, integrating with VMware's new cloud solutions system. Can you tell me why industry collaboration is seen to be prominent in today's market?
Archie: What I think has driven this is a change in mindset of customers which has been initiated by the concept of cloud computing. Customers are reassessing the way they procure IT and they want a simplified and accelerated experience that doesn't require having to go to multiple vendors and solutions. I think vendors that are still only focused on storage or servers and have not looked at expanding their offerings via alliances or acquisitions are either going to fold or be swallowed up by the big fishes as they look to add to their portfolios. This is one of the reasons why the latest announcement from VMware and their vCloud suite is so exciting and of course VCE's support and integration for it.
If VCE and the Vblock are responsible for accelerating your journey to the private cloud you could say that adding this vCloud suite would pretty much give it a major turbo boost.
EM360°: Are copyright factors, or other vendors sussing out each other's strengths and weaknesses, a problem when you encounter a project like this?
Archie: That's a really interesting question and certainly I have experienced that in previous roles, especially when I was with initiatives such as Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) when they had SMI-S compliancy. We were always promised that SMI-S compliancy would allow us to have the utopia of a single pane of glass for heterogeneous storage arrays, regardless of whether the storage array was from HDS, HP or EMC. Sadly this was never the case. As none of the vendors opened up fully and you only ended up with around 60% functionality, which ultimately meant that you went back to the native tools and multiple management panes of glass that you had anyway. You could not really blame the vendors as it would be naive to think that one vendor would allow its competitor to dissect their micro-code. This mindset is not going to change. So that is why you will see vendors deciding to procure their own server companies or storage vendors to provide this end-to-end stack.
At VCE we are in a very unique position where our investors are not competing with each other, and for us they are ultimately the component providers to our product. We don't necessarily support or include all of our investors' products or portfolios as components, only those we feel really best integrate with our single end user product. Once we have our specific components defined from our investors based on our standards we then pre-integrate and manufacture our product as a comprehensive solution. While our competitors and even our investors have such a large portfolio of products and offerings, VCE only do Vblocks and hence only focus on improving and optimizing Vblocks, enabling us to do things which others in the industry have only dreamed of, and this will be announced very soon.
EM360°: Today's enterprise market is obviously rather confused and what some other analysts are also thinking. I don't think some companies know what they want for their departments, whether to embrace public, open, private or a bit of both - hybrid functions. A lot of vendors are doing their own spin on cloud, particularly the niche players. Is the industry doing enough to simplify the product offering?
Archie: In a nutshell no. There is still a lot of confusion out there and smoke screen marketing from various vendors and this hasn't helped the end user decide or make the distinction between the various offerings and what is best for them. What we have found most recently with a lot of our enterprise clients is that they initially look at us as part of a storage server or datacenter refresh. While they may have some cloud initiatives, they really have little or no idea on how to achieve them, certainly in terms of the traditional model of IT procurement and deployment.
Once they understand the concept of the Vblock and how VCE can provide them a productized, risk free infrastructure we immediately see them come to the realisation of how this could be aligned to a Private Cloud model that in turn could develop to a Hybrid cloud. Once the customer realizes how agile and quick the deployment of their infrastructure could be with a Vblock , we nearly always find them talking and feeling freer to think higher up the stack with strategic discussions and plans on how they can deploy a management and orchestration solution and service portal. Ultimately if you want people to really understand the Cloud and what's best for them you've got to show them how you take away the risk from their traditional IT and infrastructure challenges.
EM360°: Have we seen innovation thrive in the cloud infrastructure management market, and what kinds of developments and developments have really caught your eye today?
Archie: There are a lot great products and suites out there. Every day we are seeing improvements in the look and the feel of such products as they come closer to providing that public cloud experience to the private cloud. I think the challenge of all of these solutions up to now is that they have to be integrating with all of the components of the infrastructure as separate entities, especially when it comes to designing and deploying orchestration. Without trying to reveal too much what VCE will be bringing out, I can certainly say that it will completely revolutionize and simplify this, where the product will now be managed, monitored and orchestrated as exactly that, a single Vblock product. When this development comes it will really excite many and completely transform the private cloud infrastructure model going forward.
EM360°: Are there any final thoughts you would like to leave our readers with as to how the cloud infrastructure market will play out in the future, what kind of systems we could be using and how enterprises should look to plan ahead?
Archie: The industry is at an inflection point. The approach to IT is changing and is affecting the way customers and vendors approach and procure infrastructure, specifically with regards to the mission critical applications that they ultimately depend on. This is going to lead to more converged infrastructure offerings that are eventually going to pretty much get to the point where VCE are, which is a standardized product offering, or as we like to call it an x86 mainframe. One CTO of a customer recently said to me that if I do not look at purchasing the components of the power and cooling of my datacenter, why should I do that with my infrastructure? That kind of summed it up for me because there is going to come a time when people will look back at the way open systems IT was purchased and deployed as ludicrous as someone today buying all of the components of a laptop, putting it all together, somehow expecting it to work perfectly and then be supported seamlessly by all of the vendors of the components.
To take that laptop analogy further what we will eventually see with infrastructure viewed and built as a product, is a new way to manage, monitor and update it as a product. For example when you update your laptop you are automatically notified of the patches and it's a single click of the button for the single product. You don't receive an update for your keyboard, followed by an update for your screen only for a week later to be sent another update for your CD-ROM. Concurrently when it comes to support you don't log a call with the manufacturer of the CD-ROM component of your laptop you go directly to the manufacturer of the product. Imagine that same experience with your Cloud infrastructure where it alerts you of a single seamless update for the whole product? Where it has a true single management pane and presents itself to the end user as a single entity? Imagine how that would simplify the configuration, orchestration and management of the Private Cloud. That's where the future lies and to be honest it might not be that far away.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Your website is the digital front line that introduces your brand and your business to the world. Current members visit your site to get the latest information and current promotions as well as online banking. Non-members use your website as a platform to window shop while they are on the search for their financial home. What you display or don't display on your website, can leave a lasting impression.
Listed below are some essential features that every credit union website should have:
In 2016, a website that is not responsive (i.e. is able to be viewed and used with ease on any device) will suffer in search results and page ranking with Google and other search engines. With a fixed and unresponsive site, you are losing users as they will be more likely to leave your site in frustration.
A responsive website means that you are able to extend your reach to all users, regardless of the device they choose to view your website with.
In addition to a responsive site, your site's navigation should be straight-forward and clean. You want to be sure that your website's navigation is focused so that people can find what they are looking for fast and easy.
Is your website mobile responsive with intuitive navigation?

Despite that we are in a digital age, people still want to deal with people directly.
Make sure that your contact information: physical address (and mailing address if applicable), phone number and email addresses are easy to find. Generally speaking, people will use your website to get some basic information and then will contact you when they are ready for more. Making these essential contact avenues readily available will give your users the impression that you are accessible and that you want their business.
While it might seem like a good idea to put banners and other ad graphics in every pixel of whitespace on your website, this method also leads to user confusion.
Your visitors aren't sure where to focus their attention, so they are focused on everything, which means they aren't taking in the important calls to action and time-sensitive promotions.
By giving your website specific promotional spaces while using focused marketing with your content and graphics, you can lead your visitors exactly where you want them to go!
Got a great spring promotion that you think is too good to pass up? Make that a featured promotion on your website's dedicated promotional spaces.
The Membership Application Process (MAP) should be a fairly streamlined and easy process to walk through on your website. Ease of use and focused steps for your users to take to sign up means a higher conversion rate and more members!

We've already established that well-written content on your website is the key to SEO success but sometimes it takes more than that to draw your audience in and entice them to stay. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. On your website this is especially true because that picture could turn a casual lurker into a lifelong member.
Adding images to your website is essential because it helps you communicate to your audience more effectively. Some people are very visual and so when they get hit with a wall of words, it can be overwhelming. That is why the use of imagery is one of the most powerful tools used in marketing today.
However, while images are powerful and essential, they can't be effective if they aren't displayed correctly on your website. Listed below are the top 5 image formatting mistakes to avoid:
Uploading images that are not optimized for the web can be an issue that slows down your website and increases load time. This happens because the file size of the image used is simply too large.
Helpful Tip: If you have an image editing tool such as Photoshop, you will be able to optimize your images for the web easily.
If you upload an image to your website and it looks blurry, then that can mean one of two things:
Helpful Tip: For the sake of image quality, it is much better to reduce the size of a large image and place it on your website than to take a smaller image and increase it in size.
You found the perfect image for your website but it is portrait and you need a landscape image. So, you decide to re-size the image so that it is wider instead of taller. When you upload it on your site, you notice that it looks odd.
Helpful Tip: Before you look for an image for your website, be sure to decide whether you want it to be in portrait format or landscape format. If you find a very large image you can sometimes crop it to the desired format (depending on the image), but I have found that it is easier to know which format you need before you find the image, that way you don't have to deal with that hassle later on.
SEO Tip for Images: Don't forget to give your images alt tags with descriptions when you upload them. Not only does this make your images more accessible for handicap users, it also adds to your website search engine optimization and helps your site rank higher in searches!

Skip to comments.DITCH MITCH DAY!!!
Posted on 05/20/2014 6:33:21 AM PDT by SomeCallMeTim
TODAY IS PRIMARY DAY in Kentucky!!! GET OUT AND VOTE!!
A new poll out yesterday had Mitch at 48%,, Bevin at 34%, with 18% UNDECIDED!
It's POSSIBLE, IMO... that Mitch will be held under 50%. That alone would be an earthquake in the Party.
So... ALL of you registered Republicans (You have to be, to vote) Get OUT THERE, and do your DUTY!!!!
Skink? Please hit the Kentucky Ping list!
and VOTE TO GET OUT !!
Are there runoffs in Kentucky? With only two major candidates I don't see how one would happen even if there was.
If Bevin loses, I would love to see him get over 40%!
There are, actually, FOUR candidates on the Republican Primary ballot. I don't know who the othe two are... but, I hope they have VERY large families! :-)
Maybe the conservatives will vote and the rest stay home...turnout here in PA where I am voting today is very light...I guess around 15 percent based on what I saw this morning when I voted.
Well that's good. So if people are pissed at Mitch but don't like Bevin either because of Mitch's smear campaign, they can still vent.
What has he done,
This Son-of-a-Mitch,
To protect We, the People
From Reid and Obama?
Does Kentucky want
SIX more years of McConnell
Bi-Partisan Horse Puckey?
I think we had this discussion, in Texas. I'm not at all interested in any symbolic loss with >X%. A loss, is a loss... and McConnell and company won't care. If he wins by 0.1%? He'll treat it like mandate and go on as if NOTHING happened.
Today, we need to hold him to 49.99%... and, in July? We need > 50%.
That's ALL that matters.
MM is the easy favorite today.
The TP's best shot is in MS.
Bevin at least has name recognition, support from Senate Conservatives Fund and has caught the attention of national talk hosts.
Praying Midge gets under 50%.
"If he wins by 0.1%? He'll treat it like mandate and go on as if NOTHING happened."
Oh, you're absolutely right. A win is a win. But a high percentage for Bevin would make Thad Cochran very nervous, and Pat Roberts, and Lamar Alexander. As well as all the worthless moderates with piss poor voting records who are up for reelection in 2016.
There's always another election. And good showings means more money for challengers. The Establishment wants the Tea Party crushed and their funding sources eliminated.
We are a hardy, free-born race,
Each man to fear a stranger;
Whateer the game, we join in chase,
Despising toil and danger.
And if a daring foe annoys,
Whateer his strength and forces,
Well show him that Kentucky boys
Are alligator horses.
Oh Kentucky, The Voters of Kentucky!
We are already seeing anti-Grimes tv ads, sponsored by Mitch.
I think, either Bevin or McConnell will beat Grimes in November. She's a milk-toast loser. But, I agree that Bevin would have an easier time of it.
Grimes will beat him in November. It will be a disaster for the GOPe, but WE will be blamed for DARING to challenge him
I don't think we had 18% undecided, either. That's a big plus for Bevin.
This could be a GREAT day for the Tea Party!!
SHOULD be the favorite... but, you never know till the voting's done.
I swear... around where I live? I have not seen ONE SIGN, or bumper sticker for McConnell. Not a single one.
Meanwhile, there are several very large Bevin signs posted at key locations... and, just in the past two weeks, I've seen a dozen or more Bevin bumper stickers.
Of course, mines been on my car for 6 weeks or so... Mostly, parked at the Louisville airport, near the 3rd floor elevators. :-)
I'll be phone banking this afternoon.
Seriously! After 30 years? WHO is undecided about Mitch??
My wife and I will be out voting for Matt this afternoon. This will be our first time voting in KY as we recently moved to the state.
Let's hold Mitch under 50%... or better yet get Bevin over 50%. =P
Especially on polling day!
I agree, 90% of signs that I've seen are for Bevin...but I think that's because MM is so entrenched and Bevin needs to get name recognition.
MM is playing really dirty too, claiming that Bevin lied on his resume (linked in profile) among other stuff..if you didn't do your own research you would think Bevin was a scumbag from the way that MM portrays him in radio and TV ads.
There are a lot of uneducated college graduates and young people out there... I guess at least 18% of the people are uneducated.
if Mitch doesn't get 50% of the vote Bevin will get 2 more months to make his case... If a run off is required, it will be held in July.
I doubt the other 3 GOP candidates will garner enough votes among the 3 of them to force a run-off. It would be great if they did.
If only conservatives could muster the same enthusiasm for defeating DEMOCRATS, as they do defeating fellow Republicans. Talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
This attitude and action gave the Dems the Senate in the first place... choosing candidates unelectable in the general election, giving the Dems an easy win.
I just did a Google Search and it says there are 5 Candidates in the KY GOP Primary today; Bevin, The Bitch and 3 others. one could have dropped out and there might just be four, but, Google says FIVE.
You should keep up with the news:
Kentucky Senate candidate Matt Bevin caught backing cockfighting
It was a dumb thing — I don't hold this per se against him, but if he is this naïve, if he were to win in the primary, the Dems would eat him alive and Mitch's seat would be easily captured by the Dem. Great conservative accomplishment. (/sarc)
Whoever said something like "Those who won't learn from history, are condemned to repeat it"
Sen. Richard Lugar defeated by tea party challenger
Conservative rival Richard Mourdock easily wins Indianas Republican Senate primary over the 35-year incumbent. He will face Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in the general election.
Followed by:
Joe Donnelly upsets Richard Mourdock in Indiana
Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly pulled off a stunning upset over Republican Richard Mourdock in the Indiana Senate race a battle that the GOP thought was a sure win until the final days of the campaign.
Dang.... 15% that early in the morning??? If so, it's gonna be a heavy turnout in PA today.
But, Matt Bevin has made some serious gaffes..... Why are most of our candidates always so freakin' stupid?
The "Devil we know" is what y'all have,
Predictable and rotten to the core.
Why to choose to reward
The crook in the horde
When a new horse
Is chomping at the bit?
If Bitch gets under 50 percent, I'm guessing he'll push blanket amnesty in the Senate in revenge.
Do you not just want to put your hands on that snarky little brat Dewhurst runs in his attack ads against Patrick?
Why, yes, we know how trustworthy MSNBS is. *wink-wink*
Mourdock and Akin could have won their races if they had just said, "of course abortion should be legal in the cases of rape and incest," instead of rambling on with warped views of female biology or paeans to considering children of rape as blessings from God.*
*All children are a blessing, of course, but that doesn't win the dingbat vote.
So if people are pissed at Mitch but dont like Bevin either because of Mitchs smear campaign, they can still vent.
But, Matt Bevin has made some serious gaffes..... Why are most of our candidates always so freakin stupid?
LOL....geez, like Midge hasn't? I'll take Matt's gaffes over Midge's backstabbing RINO ways.
I knew about the Cock Fighting thing so keep your condescending remarks to yourself. What I was getting at was, where did Carl Cameron ever get it that Matt Bevin endorses "DOG FIGHTING"?
I dont think we had 18% undecided, either. Thats a big plus for Bevin.
Exactly! Rule of Thumb: 80 percent of Undecideds usually go for the challenger. If a person is undecided on whether or not to vote for a 30 year incumbent, it is highly unlikely that the the incumbent will get that vote.
I posted this yesterday, but it applies to today too.
I just made a trip from my place to Somerset in Kentucky. About a hundred miles round trip or so. Two different ways were taken, all of them on the back roads.
I saw numerous Bevin yard signs and amazingly not one, NOT ONE, McConnell yard sign.
On the other hand I and my friends and neighbors have been receiving I support Mitch robo-calls unceasingly for the last five days. Personally I let the answering machine get them and if the Robo-calls starts blasting away, I answer and hang-up immediately.
One of my wifes friends received 21 call this weekend and called the local McConnell office to complain and tell them to stop the Harassment!
So my own entirely unofficial position is that McConnell is really running scared. He is spending his campaign cash like it was government money in direct, personal campaigning with directed mail flyers and these G.D. irritating phone calls. And I hope he loses and loses big! For five years and six months he ignores his home state every term he has been in the Senate and only pays attention when its campaign season.
Its time to give McConnell a long-over due retirement.
Now today, when I went to vote, which for me is almost a thirty minute drive across the county, I saw Zip, zero, nada Mitch McConnell signs. On the other hand I saw numerous Bevin Signs and two Ditch Mitch signs.
Voting was steady here in my rural county. Someone showing up every five minutes or so and my local poll workers knew my by sight, I still showed my drivers licence as well as my voters card. Five minutes later after filling out the PAPER ballot and scanning, found me on my way back home to the farm and work here.
As much as I hate to say it, Louisville and Lexington will decide the vote as usual. The cities just plain outnumber those of us out here in the Rural counties.
Which part of that statement do you disagree with?
Personally, I 100% agree with Matt. If the people of Kentucky, or Louisiana want to fight dogs or roosters, it should be up to THEM to decide... NOT the Federal government.
Mitch is the most mammoth caver to ever stumble around the Senate.
I just voted, and yes.. there were FIVE candidates on the ballot.
I saw more than 100 Bevin signs on my way. Zero McConnell. Turnout seemed fairly good, for a primary. At 1 pm, I was in a line of 5-6 people to get a ballot.
I did my part, I voted today after spending several hours at the phone center making call for him.
How were you received in general?
My wife and I have voted! +2 for Matt.
The reality I see coming is 15 percent for the whole day since only 25 had voted by my time around 9 this morning at a place with 1600 registered voters. At 7am opening time for the presidential one in 2012 I was 50th in the line.
Unfortunately, there are no run offs in Kentucky elections. And it's a sad day for Kentucky when the Senate Minority Traitor wins with the percentage he is tonight. Let's just hope he grows some balls (or borrows his wife's) and gives half as much of a fight to Harry Reid as he does to the Tea Party.

Schubert : Winterreise — Middle Temple Hall, London
Julius Drake's Temple song series is almost a cult secret -not known to the mass market but highly regarded among those who know, much like the Lieder genre itself.
The Princeton Festival presents one opera annually, amidst other events. Its offerings usually alternate annually between 20th century and earlier operas. This year the Festival presented Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, now a classic work, in a very effective and moving production.
If you like your Ariadne on Naxos productions as playful as a box of puppies, then Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is the address for you.
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis took forty years before attempting Verdi's Macbeth but judging by the excellence of the current production, it was well worth the wait.
On June 16, 2016, Los Angeles Opera with Beth Morrison Projects presented the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang's Anatomy Theater at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT).
In its compact forty-year history, the ambitious Opera Theatre of Saint Louis has just triumphantly presented its twenty-fifth world premiere with Shalimar the Clown.
The sharp angles and oddly tilting perspectives of Charles Edwards' set for David Alden's production of Jenůfa at ENO suggest a community resting precariously on the security and certainty of its customs, soon to slide from this precipice into social and moral anarchy.
Last week an audience of 50 assembled in the kitchen of a luxurious West Village townhouse for a performance of Marriage of Figaro.
In a recent article in BBC Music Magazine tenor James Gilchrist reflected on the reason why early-nineteenth-century England produced no corpus of art song to match the German lieder of Schumann, Schubert and others, despite the great flowering of English Romantic poetry during this period.
With the New York Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas, the New York City Opera Steps Out of the Shadows of the Past
Opportunities to see Idomeneo are not so frequent as they might be, certainly not so frequent as they should be.
Not merely Don Carlo, but the five-act Don Carlo in the 1886 Modena version! The welcomed esotericism of San Francisco Opera's extraordinary spring season.
The early summer San Francisco Opera season has the feel of a classy festival. There is an introduction of Spanish director Calixto Bieito to American audiences, a five-act Don Carlo and two awaited, inevitable role debuts, Karita Mattila as Kostelnička and Malin Bystrom as Janacek's Jenůfa.
Now that the curtain has long fallen on the third and last performance of the Ring cycle at the Washington National Opera (WNO), it is safe to say that the long-anticipated production has been an unqualified success for the company, director Francesca Zambello, and conductor Philippe Auguin.
Most of the attention during this revival of Daniele Abbado's 2013 production of Nabucco has been directed at Plácido Domingo's reprise of the title role, with the critical reception somewhat mixed.
My first Tristan, indeed my first Wagner, in the theatre was ENO's previous staging of the work, twenty years ago, in 1996. The experience, as it should, as it must, although this is alas far from a given, quite overwhelmed me.
Four years ago, almost to the day (13th to 12th), I saw Melly Still's production of The Cunning Little Vixen during its first Glyndebourne run. I found myself surprised how much more warmly I responded to it this time.
This recital celebrated both the work of the Park Lane Group, which has been supporting the careers of outstanding young artists for 60 years, and the 90th birthday of Joseph Horovitz, who was born in Vienna in 1926 and emigrated to England aged 12.
Headed by General Director Luana DeVol, a world-renowned dramatic soprano, Opera Las Vegas is a relatively new company that presents opera with first-rate casts at the University of Las Vegas's Judy Bayley Theater. In 2014 they presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville and in 2015, Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This year they offered a blazing rendition of Georges Bizet's Carmen.
Ever since a friend was reported as having said he would like something in return for modern-dress Shakespeare (how quaint that term seems now, as if anyone would bat an eyelid!), namely an Elizabethan-dress staging of Look Back in Anger, I have been curious about the possibilities of 'down-dating', as I suppose we might call it. Rarely, if ever, do we see it, though.
Leading a very muscular Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor Markus Stenz brilliantly delivered Alban Berg's Wozzeck with a superb Florian Boesch in the lead and a mesmerising Asmik Grigorian as Marie his wife.
Julius Drake's Temple song series is almost a cult secret -not known to the mass market but highly regarded among those who know, much like the Lieder genre itself.
This concert took place in Middle Temple Hall, deep in the warren that is London's Inns of Court. The Knights Templar built the first buildings, and Sir Francis Drake was a regular in Elizabethan times. Sitting in this magnificently panelled hall, you're surrounded by history. It's an experience that gives Julius Drake's series, now in its fourth year, a unique ambience.
The surroundings threw the stark desolation of Winterreise into sharp contrast. Christoph Prégardien has sung some chillingly prescient Winterreises. His light, clear tenor works well because it enhances the vulnerability of the protagonist better than an opulent lower timbre with lusher resonance. This was perhaps not one of Prégardien's finest performances, but the occasional rough edges and infelicities of phrasing were not necessarily a fault. Indeed, they added a certain immediacy : too polished a performance can dull the harshness of the situation.
Yet Winterreise is not just about the protagonist. The protagonist operates in a specific, clearly delineated landscape. Schubert recognizes the importance of Wilhelm Müller's recurrent nature imagery. The piano part is extraordinarily descriptive. We hear the frozen raindrops, the trudge of the footsteps on hard ground. Deep snow muffles sound. The protagonist is alone in the stillness. Julius Drake's playing was lucid, each image precisely evoked. Particularly impressive was the way he created the strange sounds of distorted music, a theme not often appreciated in performances less cognizant of the piano's role.
In the last song, the protagonist encounters an intinerant beggar who plays a hurdy gurdy as he wanders from village to village. No one listens, he's chased by dogs, yet still he plays. The piano is a far more sophisticated instrument than the Leiermann's primitive machine, but perhaps Schubert is telling us about the power of music. It's almost an act of faith. Drake recognizes how early the hurdy gurdy makes its presence felt. There it is, in Mut, in the jerky, folk like phrases. Its maddened refrain heralds the appearance of the beggar, whoever he may be, wherever he may lead.

Study: Cutting Emissions Could Pay for Itself
Money saved on health care spending related to carbon emissions could be 10 times what it would cost for policy implementation, according to research conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and published in Nature Climate Change.
Researchers compared health care and other costs related to carbon emission-related illness to the costs of implementing three climate policies: a clean-energy standard, a transportation policy and a cap-and-trade program. The three were designed to resemble proposed US climate policies.
- A cap-and-trade program would cost an estimated $14 billion, with health care savings calculated to be more than 10 times that amount.
- A transportation policy with rigid fuel-economy requirements would cost more than $1 trillion in 2006 dollars, with health benefits recouping only a quarter of the costs.
- A clean energy standard would cost an estimated $208 billion, and estimated health cost savings would be about $247 billion.
Researchers noted that while cutting carbon dioxide from current levels would result in savings from better air quality, pollution-related benefits decline as carbon policies become more stringent. After a certain point, most of the health benefits have already been reaped, and additional emissions reductions won't translate into greater improvements.
The study is the most detailed assessment to date of the interwoven effects of climate policy on the economy, air pollution and the cost of health problems related to air pollution. The MIT group paid close attention to how changes in emissions caused by policy translate into improvements in local and regional air quality, using comprehensive models of both the economy and the atmosphere.
Although some US companies have been actively working to reduce their carbon emissions, some have expressed concern that current governmental demands to reduce emissions are too stringent.

iPhone 5 to sport metal back, sub 4-inch screen
The iPhone 5 will sport a metal back and a screen less than four inches in size, according to a new report. Citing sources from panel suppliers, DigiTimes reports that despite recent rumors of the handset featuring a 4.2-inch panel, it will instead feature a screen that's either the same 3.5-inches as the current model or 3.7-inches, with a thinner bezel to make the screen look larger. The report also claims that the rear of the phone will be changed to metal from the iPhone 4's current glass design, although no specifics were offered as to what type of metal might be used. [via BGR]

Based on all these "reports," the iPhone 5 will be either be an iPhone "4S" or a totally new design; get released in January, June, September, October, or next year; look like an iPhone 4, a miniature iPad 2, or something completely new; either include or exclude NFC technology; either include radios for all networks or continue to be released as separate GSM and CDMA models; either run on Sprint or not; and now, feature either the same screen or a much larger one.
Glad we cleared that up. Thanks.

PS: My comment above is not a knock against iLounge, they're just doing their job and reporting the news as it comes in.
I just have to wonder about the extraordinarily self-contradicting nature of all these reports of the iPhone 5.
Posted by Farnsworth on August 29, 2011 at 11:50 AM (CDT)
Too funny. I agree, iLounge has done a good job with all of these "reports" and "leaked" parts and cases.

Man I wish they'd make the next iPhone with a 4.3" screen. That is the only thing I don't like about the iPhone 4, the small screen.
Posted by Gabe on August 29, 2011 at 2:19 PM (CDT)
The current size is spot-on IMO. Big phones look ridiculous, don't fit as well in your front pocket, and use more power for a larger display.
Posted by rockmyplimsoul on August 29, 2011 at 3:37 PM (CDT)
Agreed, I like the current screen size. If I want a bigger screen I'll use my iPad.
Posted by DP on August 30, 2011 at 4:22 PM (CDT)
I fully admit that I've been spoiled by my HTC EVO…when I go to Sprint's iPhone (pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease…) I'll probably suffer screen shock for a short time…but I'm sure I'll recover quickly. ^_^
Posted by Daniel S. on August 31, 2011 at 10:47 AM (CDT)
I sold my iPhone 4 months ago to get an iPad and went on to purchase a Motorola Atrix 4G to replace it. The new iPhone must be capable of receiving better than 3G speeds on whatever carrier it is released and have at least a 4-inch screen in order for me to go back to iOS.
Posted by Luis on August 31, 2011 at 2:59 PM (CDT)
I love my iPhone 4's screen, but a larger screen would be nice. On the other hand, iOS isn't the same as Android, and I am not sure we would benefit from a larger screen. A larger screen would mostly be for marketing purposes. Of course, with notification center, we could fit more on the screen. Still, its not crucial to have a large screen, like on Android.
Posted by Drew on August 31, 2011 at 3:12 PM (CDT)
Am I the only one that has trouble typing on the current IPhone? I was hoping that v5 would have a larger screen so the scale of the keys would be that much larger.
Posted by WO on September 1, 2011 at 5:35 PM (CDT)
Yeah, same here. Typing on my iPhone 4 isn't as comfortable anymore, a 4' screen is perfect for the iPhone 5. Anything in between won't be as good, I hope that Apple doesn't screw it up.
Posted by Prizzy on September 2, 2011 at 2:15 AM (CDT)
I don't mind the screen size on my 4. If the display is different on the 5 it would be worth it to me for the up grade. the 4S did not impress me, even with siri which doesn't work well in a busy network area no matter which carrier you have. But if you are looking for a larger screen, remember bigger generally means bulkier and so well… maybe we should just have phone conversations on our ipads.

Michael Landsberry, the 45-year-old middle school math teacher and Afghan War veteran who was killed trying to talk down a student shooter at a Nevada Middle School, is being remembered as a hero.
Witnesses at Sparks Middle School in the Reno suburb at the time of Monday's shooting described how Landsberry approached the armed 13-year-old boy and tried to get him to surrender a semi-automatic pistol he had used to shoot two fellow students. The boy then turned the weapon on Landsberry, fatally shooting him, before using the pistol to take his own life.
"In my estimation he is a hero," Reno's Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson said at a news conference on Monday.
Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez, said: "We have a lot of heroes today, including our children … and our fallen hero, an amazing teacher."
A Facebook page in honor of the fallen teacher "Rest Easy Mr. Landsberry" had more than 12,000 "likes." Other photos of Landsberry can be seen here.
"It's very unfortunate that (the life of) someone like that, who protected our country over there and came back alive … had to be taken at his work, at a school," Sparks Mayor Geno Martini said, according to CNN.
Landsberry, a former U.S. Marine who later served in Afghanistan with the Nevada Air National Guard and held the rank of senior master sergeant, wrote on his classroom webpage that "One of my goals is to earn your respect while you earn mine. I believe that with mutual respect that the classroom environment will run smoothly."
Chanda Landsberry said her brother-in-law loved teaching.
"He loved his school kids. He loved the Guard," she said. "It defined him."
She said he leaves behind wife Sharon and two step-daughters.
Authorities tell ABCNews that one of the wounded boys had been through surgery and the second is said to be "doing well."
