Can I Continue to Contribute to My IRA When I Convert to a Roth IRA?
Original post by Craig Woodman of Demand Media
The Roth IRA is a retirement savings plan that allows you to save money and allow the returns on that savings to grow tax-free. Taxpayers who have money held in a traditional IRA also have the option to convert to a Roth. If you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, the amount converted does not count as part of your yearly contribution. You may contribute up to your allowable limit to a Roth even when converting.
Reasons to Convert
In 2010, the IRS eliminated the $100,000 annual adjusted gross income cap for people converting a traditional IRA to a Roth, allowing any taxpayer with a traditional IRA to convert. By converting your deductible traditional IRA to a Roth, you lock in the tax savings for the future, as all of the funds in the account, including the earnings, may be withdrawn tax-free at retirement. If the funds are left in a traditional IRA, the gains will all be taxable when withdrawn at retirement.
Current Tax Liability
If you convert your deductible traditional IRA to a Roth, you will need to pay the taxes on the money that you convert. This money will be taxed at your normal rate for income. Depending on the size of the rolled over account, the tax liability could be significant. The increase in your taxable income could also significantly increase your tax bracket for the year. Consider paying the taxes on the conversion with funds held outside of the IRA. If you use retirement funds to pay the taxes, you could owe a 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal on that money.
Partial Conversion
If you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you have the option to convert a only a portion of the IRA, or you may convert the entire balance. The partial conversion may make sense if you cannot meet the tax liability resulting from converting the entire balance. Also, you may choose to keep some of your retirement funds in a pre-tax account to allow you to better control your taxable and tax-free income during your retirement years, to manage your tax liability more effectively.
Non-Deductible IRA Rollover
Non-deductible IRA contributions can be converted without incurring any tax liability. This is because the contributions were already taxed, and will not be taxed again. You will need to pay taxes on the gains earned from the non-deductible contributions that are converted to a Roth IRA.

In fact, the last several days have felt like this, with regards big decisions about various administrative roles I've been asked to consider taking on. It never seems to end, and I am terrible at saying no to as many things as I should. And I have a bad habit of doing things to the best of my ability and hence I get a reputation as the guy to ask to do a task since I did a good job last time, and so it gets me sucked in deeper into the administrative quagmire, and so on and so forth.
Rather like the "entrapment events" that happened in the La Brea Tar Pits so long ago (have a read of what I wrote about those on a field trip to the Page Museum a while back). I was wandering around the LACMA and Tar Pits grounds yesterday evening after a shoot for a show (a fun thing coming that I'll let you know about shortly) and made a phone call to say, after ten days of thinking about it, "Yes" to an administrative thing (I'll tell you more in due course – this one I like: I've got to say no to other things to compensate), and shortly thereafter came upon this well known reconstruction in the evening light.
I felt a kinship with the big creature in his/her predicament rather keenly.

College Hockey:McKee, Cornell PK Shut Down Northeastern
Big Red To Face Minnesota-Duluth In Florida Classic Championship
ESTERO, Fla. — Junior goaltender David McKee and the Cornell penalty kill teamed up to blank Northeastern 3-0 in the first semifinal of the Florida College Classic on Tuesday afternoon at Germain Arena. McKee made 13 stops as the Big Red successfully killed off nine power plays.
The win runs the Big Red's (9-3-1) unbeaten streak to six games, the second-longest active streak in the country. The shutout is McKee's first of the year and the 16th of his career, extending his ECACHL record.
The first period was played almost exclusively in the Northeastern zone, but the Big Red could not capitalize until the 11:31 mark. A hooking call assessed to the Huskies at 10:00 put Cornell on the power play for the second of three times in the period, and senior captain Matt Moulson converted for his seventh extra-man score of the season, tying him for fifth in the nation.
Moulson took a pass from sophomore forward Raymond Sawada at the top of the right circle and held it before ripping a slap shot that beat Northeastern junior goaltender Adam Geragosian low to the stick side. Sophomore forward Topher Scott also assisted. The goal extended Moulson's points streak to 10 straight games, a career high.
The Big Red struck again a little more than six minutes later. Freshman defenseman Taylor Davenport dug a puck off the right boards at the Cornell blue line and bounced it off the boards through the neutral zone. Senior forward Cam Abbott ran it down at the right dot and passed across the slot to classmate Daniel Pegoraro. Pegoraro had been trailing the play and was there to backhand the puck home for his second goal of the year.
The Huskies (1-10-4) managed just one shot in the first 20 minutes to the Big Red's four, but that changed in the second. Northeastern held a 9-7 advantage in shots on goal in the second period, thanks in large part to six Cornell penalties.
The Big Red added another goal to its lead in the fourth minute of the second period, when freshman Michael Kennedy won a faceoff in the right circle. The puck went directly to sophomore defenseman Doug Krantz, who unloaded a slapshot from the right point that set the final score at 3-0.
Midway through the second period, Cornell was forced to kill off 1:22 of a 5-on-3 Northeastern advantage. After doing so, the Big Red came within one second of killing the second penalty, but a third was called, leading to another second of 5-on-3 and 1:59 of 5-on-4 hockey. During that stretch, McKee made a number of nice sliding pad saves, as Northeastern tried unsuccessfully to work the puck around and score from the back side.
The Huskies had two outstanding chances to break up the shutout in the final period. At the 6:26 mark, sophomore forward Jimmy Russo got behind the Cornell defense and had a 1-on-0 breakaway against McKee. His shot hit the crossbar and caromed harmlessly away.
Six minutes later, Northeastern had a 2-on-2 transition situation. Krantz broke his stick on a shot attempt from the Huskies' blue line, and junior Bryan Esner took the puck and charged the Cornell net through the left circle. Krantz could not poke the puck away, but McKee was there to make the stop.
Wednesday at 7:35 p.m., Cornell faces Minnesota-Duluth, which beat Maine 4-1 in Tuesday's second semifinal, in the Florida Classic championship. Northeastern will face Maine in the consolation.
Cornell will be aiming to capture its second Ned Harkness Cup, which is awarded annually to the winner of the Florida College Classic. The cup, named for the legendary coach who piloted both of Cornell's NCAA championship teams, was last claimed by the Big Red in 2003.

In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity. – CS Lewis
I loved the feedback from Kindred-Spirit Friendships earlier this week. It got me thinking however, that while we should be nourishing those precious relationships, it's important to not only acknowledge but encourage our other friendships.
I believe that each person in my life is there for a reason. Whether they are a friend for a season, or a lifetime – I am able to take something from that. A few months with someone may equal to a lifetime of moments, if you are open. I've been blessed enough to experience such a thing with an amazing woman recently, who now lives half way across the world. In each of my friendships, I am given gifts. For different reasons, each of these women are able to bring something out in me that I treasure, and together we have unique and wonderful memories.
Just as seedlings need water to grow, so do the relationships in our lives. I hope you'll take the time to treasure each of your friends. Know that they are in your life to serve a purpose, though that purpose may simply be for you to bless them.
What amazing thing has a friend done for you lately? Do you tell him or her enough how much you treasure them? Happy weekend all, can't wait to read your thoughts – OH and look out next week for a fun new download, Ciao!

This week was only the first-round of "America's Got Talent" semifinals, but already the singers in the competition are clearly paving a path to the top. Acrobatic performers, jump-rope wildcards, and even a favorite comedian all had varying degrees of falling from grace, but a show-stopping performance from Emily West to close the first evening of performances put her on a pinnacle that will be hard to topple, and a bevy of beautiful voices are right over her shoulder.
Emily has had a long journey back to the stage, having lost her record contract some 15 years back, and now seasoned by the hard realities of life and the music business, she has renewed determination not to let this season slip away. Howard Stern has called her the best singer that he has seen in his three years on the judges' panel, and her classic, movie goddess look and dazzling red for her unique twist on Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" surely solidified status, if not the front-runner, position for her. Other strong performances from 12-year-old, Mara Justine, who chose Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" as her way to break out front again, and heartthrob Miguel Dakota taking on "Seven Nation Army" like a rock 'n roll warrior all joined for a sizzling night of music. The Sons of Serendip create magic that moves beyond their synchronized harmonies, displaying masterful musicianship, and their wizardry with "Don't You Worry Child" was nothing short of wonder. Soldier Paul Ieti couldn't quite muster the confidence or the correct notes in his Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" in spite of the respect for his service.
West is not the only lady with a past to overcome. Kelly Glover was cut from the competition in 2009, and she squeaked by last week's eliminations, so staying on stage is precious to her. Quintavious Johnson has a voice to fill an auditorium, too, and get Jennifer Holiday's respect, too, so Mara Justine has tough competition as well. Howie Mandel told Miguel Dakota he had the special something to take the million-dollar prize for the second time last night, and judging by audience screams, that may be a lock.
Only the votes can decide now who can take the title, but a singer has a landslide of a chance. Blacklight dancing performances and animations have dominated the last few years. Now, "America's Got Talent" is embracing the pure power of the human voice again.

A Sneak Peak at the Summer 2012 Issue of Midwest Meetings Magazine...
Another Perspective
What you can learn by working both sides of the fence
I had no idea that my 23 years of event production and marketing experience would at some point transition to managing concert tours…or that being vice president of a music group would make me much more valuable as an event planner and business strategist.
One of the advantages to operating in both capacities has been learning to look at an event from two different but complementary angles. When an inevitable challenge arises, I now find myself considering potential solutions with an expanded base of knowledge. If you haven't had the opportunity to see things from the opposite side of the fence, I strongly suggest shadowing a speaker or entertainer for some perspective. Read More:
Multilingual Events
Do you know how to work with interpreters?
by Elizabeth Colón
With the advance of international trade and the internet as essential business tools, many companies have gone global in a short period of time. Although English is the most common language in the business world, it's still much more productive to bridge language gaps between English speakers and those who prefer to speak in a native language.
This is especially true in the world of conferences and meeting planning. The main purpose of meetings and conferences is communication. Whether that is communication about a topic, a company, or for networking purposes, being able to convey and understand the key messages is of utmost importance. Additionally, multilingual meetings provide the opportunity to build rapport, promote two-way conversation, and gain valuable feedback from an audience. As a planner, your role should be to facilitate multilingual features in the planning stages. Here are a few aspects you should know about. Read More:
Planner Decisions Impact Lives in Local Communities

Career Search
The days of circling want ads in the newspaper are over.
Today's savvy job seekers need to maximize the tools available when looking for their next employer. Whether you're unemployed or just looking for new opportunities there are several things you can do to find the right company or organization.
The old adage, "It's not what you know, it's who you know!" still rings true today.
The best place to start is through your personal network. Make a list of everyone that might be of help to you. Even if someone is in a different industry or department, don't discount them, they may know about a position or company that you haven't thought of. After you come up with your list of contacts, put together your elevator pitch. Read More:
Why Team Building Helps to Breed Success
We've all heard it before….the sum is greater than its parts.
Business organizations with well-run teams have many benefits including lower turnover and higher profits. So why are some teams more productive and successful than others? And, how can organizations work to foster a synergy where employees are empowered and motivated to perform at their best?
Karin Eastham, author of "Cook the Part" and presenter of Cook Up Some Teamwork: Five Lessons from the Kitchen, says hosting ongoing team building initiatives is key to success of organizations.
"In any business, you want team members to look out for each other, to fill the gap in each other's weaknesses and to appreciate the skills and talents of team members."

A Case study on continuing the community after the conference...
Does online learning really work? What happens after the session is over? Is it possible to retain and attract new members by providing top-notch education, networking, and ongoing support? In a simple answer, yes, and if you'd like to learn how to do so, we turn to a case study about continuing the community after the conference is over – a real life example and model to observe and possibly duplicate for your corporation or association.
As the recession kicked into high gear in 2009, business leaders started pulling marketing dollars from organizing and attending industry events. The economic pendulum seems to have swung to the positive side, and now tradeshows and virtual events have bounced back. What has changed in the past three years is that these events are no longer two- to three-day, stationary meeting places—they are now ongoing communities for organizers to network with their customers.

Feeling nostalgic? How about a round of Guess Who? If you're like us, you always wanted to pick Anita or Maria as your "who" of choice, but couldn't because everyone's first question is, "Is it a man or a woman?" Picking a woman meant eliminating all but five options and giving your opponent the upper hand. (Seriously, what the heck is up with the ridiculously uneven distribution of genders, Hasbro?)

Care and Handling of CDs and DVDs: A Guide for Librarians and Archivists
This article was written by Fred R. Byers, a member of the technical staff in the Convergent Information Systems Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and copublished by the Council on Library and Information Resources and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
It is non-technical but can be considered as definitive directions for long term storage of optical media such as CDs and DVDs, suitable for use by the general public as well as archivists.
GIMP Video Tutorials
GIMP is a capable open source image editing application. This link connects to the gimpusers.com web site, which describes itself as the "GIMP Portal," and is located in Germany or Austria.

Also, check the requirements for viewing the videos—they may require available but unfamiliar software.
There are also tutorials (but not video tutorials) available from the GIMP web site.
Good-Tutorials claims to be "...the largest source of tutorials on the web today." The web site collects tutorials—more precisely, links to tutorials—contributed by individuals, who may be amateurs or professionals. It started as a Photoshop® only web site, but now additional categories, such as CSS, Flash®, Illustrator®, Photography and other topics are offered. Not all tutorials are videos.
Google Earth Blog Video Tutorials for SketchUp to Google Earth
It is probably safe to say that most internet users have at least heard of Google Earth (which Google now describes as "The world's geographic information at your fingertips"), even if they haven't used it. That cannot be said of Google SketchUp, which is a free 3D modeling software application. The two applications can be used in combination. How? Check out the video tutorial, available from this Google Earth Blog link. You will definitely need a broadband internet connection for this tutorial, along with QuickTime.
And. by the way, there is a link to a video tutorial on Google Earth on the Google Earth homepage.
In Pictures: Computer Tutorials Based on Pictures
The premise (and promise) of this web site is: "Learn with pictures, not words." The turorials are sequences of screen captures (or perhaps presentation slides). According to the web site, "In Pictures tutorials began as part of a research study . . . conducted for the U.S. Department of Education." There are tutorials for the 2003 and 2007 versions of Microsoft Access®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Publisher® and Word®. Among others, there are tutorials for the OpenOffice 2x versions of Base, Calc, Impress and Writer.
Jimmy Ruska's Free Video Tutorials
This web site offers over a hundred videos on a wide range of topics.
This web site is included here because it is a good resource for training videos. However, none of the videos are free. If you buy the Online option (instead of the CD option), you will need a broadband internet connection and the latest version of QuickTime.

William Jefferson Clinton Memorial Library
We'd like to welcome you to the
Clinton Library -- dedicated to preserving the true
legacy of the 42nd President of the United States.
Why Bill Clinton was BAD for America
Clinton's idea of "Crossing the bridge into the 21st Century" did NOT take America in the direction most freedom loving Americans wanted to go. Instead, his bridge into the 21st Century lead America further into moral decacdence and a more entrenched Socialist State.
Bill Clinton's Foundational Philosophy for the Socialist State
At his acceptance speech, President Clinton singled out
Dr. Carroll Quigley as being one whom helped to form his political outlook.
Quigley wrote approvingly of the power, influence and
activities of what he called "the network" that tries to rule the Western
world. The "network" always prefers Big Government, big federal spending,
and the stability of a planned society rather than the uncertainties of the
free market.
The economic comrade of Clinton's who served as an economics
official in the commerce Department, helped form his economic strategy is Derek
Shearer, longtime associate fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies,
"which is committed to
socialism in America and sides with the Soviet Union on almost every important
foreign policy issue," according to a 1988 article in Policy Review.
Bill Clinton's vision didn't put people first, it put government first.
Beyond all the rhetoric and ballyhoo of the Clinton administration, many American people recognized the characteristic signature of the liberal agenda, including its fascination with bloated bureaucracy, exploitation of the taxpayer for the sake of bigger and bigger government, and all the other socialized programs connected with issues such as education, health Care and the environment
Though his policies claimed to be for "the best of
the country," their ends aim at the destruction of national patriotism and
personal independence.
Bill Clinton was not alone in this move toward Socialism. The United States Congress and Democratic Party is infested with many Socialists. And, they no longer hide their affiliations. There are at least 58 members of Congress -- 57 Democrats and one independent -- who have signed onto the agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America. The group in the House of Representatives calls itself the Progressive Caucus. [Socialists in Congress, Jane Chastain, WorldNetDaily, Nov. 30, 1998]
Clinton's Goal for the 21st. Century
Bill Clinton's real goal was the
creation of a new
government-industrial complex similar to the corporate state established
in Italy in the 1930s. In Bill Clinton's America,
Washington would dictate the
details of daily economic life in an unprecedented way. His policies
abounded in government interventions into the private sector, each with untold
impact on the ability of American business to expand and create new jobs for
American workers.
Socialism is government ownership and/or control over the basic means of production and distribution of services and goods.
This means the government controls everything, including you. Socialism, like Communism, is a consolidate and control the wealth program; not a share-the-wealth program as many would have you believe.
Bill Clinton introduced the Socialist State that Barack Obama
later codified in America.
The Clinton presidency clearly presented a clear and present danger to the traditional American way of life that has been grounded in Judeo-Christian principles. But a much greater danger is on the horizon. This danger is the socialistic serpentine worldwide government that the Scriptures say will emerge in the end times (Rev. 13:7-8). This world empire, based in a reunified Europe, will abrogate the sovereignty of every other nation on the face of the earth. Its government will be run by godless, amoral Humanists who will worship the creation rather than the Creator (Romans. 1:25).
The average American Citizen isn't going to give up his
Constitution for some World Government too easily. We and our ancestors have
fought too long and shed too much blood for it to give up easily.
"We can't be so fixated on our
desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..."

Sentiment: Strong Sell
Didn't Volkswagen close the Westmoreland plant back in the 90's? So they have one new plant in TN. Kia has a grand total of one plant in GA. Compare that to GM plants in TN, KY, KS, MO, IN, NY, TX, OH, 2 in MI, plus other stamping and powertrain plants.

Minutemen Select Steve Lappas as Head Basketball Coach
March 26, 2001
Transcript from the Lappas press conference
Amherst, Mass. -- University of Massachusetts Athletic Director Bob Marcum announced today that Steve Lappas has been hired as the 19th head coach in the 92-year history of the Massachusetts men's basketball program.
Lappas comes to UMass after nine highly-successful seasons at Villanova University, where he guided the Wildcats to a 174-110 (.613) record. The 47-year-old Lappas owns a 230-172 (.572) mark in 13 seasons as a Division I head coach, including a four-year stint at Manhattan College.
In nine seasons as head coach at Villanova, Lappas took the Wildcats to postseason play seven times (four NCAAs, three NITs), including each of the past three seasons. His 2000-01 team finished 18-13 overall, 8-8 in the Big East (third-place tie in the East division) and played in the NIT.
Lappas-coached `Nova teams averaged 19.3 wins per season (20.8 wins over his last eight seasons), and reached the 20-win mark six times. In addition, his squads won at least 10 Big East games five times and posted a .500 or better league record seven times during his tenure. He is one of only four coaches in Villanova history to win at least 150 games, and his 97 career Big East victories (includes nine conference tournament wins) rank sixth all-time in league history (third among active league coaches behind Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Connecticut's Jim Calhoun). Since 1993, no Big East team has put together more 20-win seasons than the Wildcats (six).
Five Wildcat players were drafted by the NBA during Lappas' stint as head coach, including lottery picks Kerry Kittles (eighth selection by the New Jersey Nets in 1996) and Tim Thomas (seventh pick by the New Jersey Nets in 1997). In his 13 seasons all-told at Villanova, he coached nine NBA players.
Lappas went to Villanova as an assistant coach in 1984 and in his first season was a member of Coach Rollie Massimino's staff that led the Wildcats to their only NCAA championship in 1985. In his four seasons as an assistant at `Nova, the Wildcats posted an 87-53 (.621) record and twice advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
In 1988, Lappas left Villanova to become head coach at Manhattan College, where he directed a remarkable turnaround of the Jaspers' hoop fortunes. The New York, N.Y., native improved his victory total every season at Manhattan, from seven wins in his first campaign to 11 in year two, 13 in his third year and 25 in his fourth and final season (1991-92). He earned Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors in his last campaign, as he led the Jaspers to the MAAC regular-season title and the third round of the NIT.
In the eight seasons prior to Lappas' arrival at Manhattan, the school had won just 75 games from 1980 through 1988. In addition to reaping league Coach of the Year honors in 1992, he also earned National Association of Basketball Writers District II Coach of the Year recognition and was selected as the New York Metropolitan Coach of the Year.
From Manhattan, Lappas returned to Villanova as head coach, and after a year of rebuilding in 1993, his 1994 squad finished 20-12, posting the school's first 20-win season since 1988, and captured the school's first National Invitation Tournament title. The Wildcats won 14 of their final 17 games, and Lappas was recognized as the Coach of the Year in the East region by Basketball Times and Big East Briefs for his efforts, and received a Special Recognition Award from the Philadelphia Big Five.
In 1995, Lappas' third season on the Main Line, Villanova finished 25-8 overall and set a school record for Big East victories (14). The Wildcats won the school's first-ever Big East Conference Tournament title (beating UConn in the title game) and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four seasons. He was presented with the Harry Litwack Award as the Eastern Coach of the Year by the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association, earned Big Five Coach of the Year and was a finalist for AP and Naismith College national Coach of the Year honors.
The next year (1996), Villanova won a school-record 26 games (against only seven losses) and again played in the NCAA Tournament. Along the way, Villanova also reached its highest ranking ever in the Associated Press poll, checking in at No. 2 in December. Kittles became Villanova's first player to earn Big East Most Outstanding Player honors.
Year five (1997) of the Lappas' era saw the Wildcats claim the school's first Big East regular-season title since 1983, as Villanova went 24-10 overall and 12-6 in the league. Thomas became the first Wildcat in school history to earn National Freshman-of-the-Year honors, as the school earned its third-straight NCAA Tournament bid. It marked only the third time in Villanova history that the school reached the NCAA Tournament in three consecutive seasons.
With the departure of four starters, three of whom went on to play in the NBA, Lappas' sixth VU team finished 12-17 overall in 1998. But, his 1999 squad bounced back to finish 21-11 overall and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time under his direction.
In 1999-2000, the Wildcats won 20 games for the sixth time in seven seasons, but were denied an NCAA Tournament berth and were forced to settle for an NIT bid. Lappas posted a pair of career milestones during the season, as he earned his 200th victory as a college head coach on Jan. 12, 2000, when Villanova downed La Salle (80-72). A few weeks later, Lappas picked up his 150th win as the head coach at VU when the Wildcats beat crosstown rival St. Joseph's, 68-61.
A 1977 graduate of City College of New York (bachelor's degree in education), Lappas began his coaching career as a volunteer coach at York College for one season, followed by a one-year stint as an assistant coach at Fort Lee High School. He then took over the reigns of the Bronx' Harry S. Truman High School program in 1979, where he coached until 1984 when he joined the Villanova staff. Lappas compiled a 91-32 record at Truman, including a 27-3 record in 1983-84 when his squad captured the New York State Class A title. He was a two-time New York Daily News Coach-of-the-Year.
A three-year letterwinner in basketball at CCNY and team captain as a junior, Steve and his wife Harriet are the parents of two children, Kristen (13) and Peter (10). Steve and Harriet have been active in the Philadelphia area, working with the Coaches vs. Cancer team and Special Olympics.
In addition to Lappas' personal involvement in the Philadelphia community, his team was active in the community, too. The Wildcats have made visits to Children's Hospital, participated in a campus beautification service project at Olney High School and been a part of the school's pen pal program with area middle schools.
Lappas replaces James "Bruiser" Flint, who was UMass' coach for the past five seasons and finished his career with an 86-72 record.

Using the MilaX Live CD for Failsafe Booting on SPARC Machines
By BigAdmin team on Dec 28, 2009
This BigAdmin community tech tip describes how to convert the MilaX Live CD to a failsafe image for a Solaris installation on SPARC machines.
This BigAdmin community tech tip describes how to convert the MilaX Live CD to a failsafe image for a Solaris installation on SPARC machines.
MilaX, a small Live CD distribution that runs completely off a CD, can be a good tool for troubleshooting a non-booting Solaris installation. In this tech tip, Bernd Schemmer of the BigAdmin community describes how to convert the MilaX Live CD to a WANBOOT image, so it can be used on a WANBOOT server for troubleshooting machines that run the Solaris OS on SPARC platforms.
This BigAdmin article shows how to add support for booting from SATA DVDs by installing Kernel Update patch 137137-09 to the SPARC miniroot image for the Solaris 10 5/08 or 8/07 release on SPARC platforms.
Find out which software is pre-installed and which is supported on Sun's SPARC platforms and servers by visiting BigAdmin's new Software Stacks hub. For more details, see the BigAdmin blog entry, Stacks and Stacks of Software Stacks.
A Sun tech tip shows a way to monitor performance counters for the UltraSPARC T2 Plus External Coherency Hub using the
busstat command. This External Coherency Hub architecture (also referred to as "Zambezi") is found on Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Servers.
This new release offers full support for the latest SPARC and x86 systems. The OS is free and easy to install on 1000+ systems from leading vendors, and it incorporates open networking. The updated FAQs on the OpenSolaris site point to the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) on BigAdmin.
And check out the OpenSolaris Info Center: Lots of good links, including the OpenSolaris 2009.06 resources wiki, as well as info for users, system administrators, and developers.
In this tech tip, a Sun engineer describes how to enable host watchdog monitoring on Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers. This feature is also called Alive Check/Monitoring, and it allows the eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) software on the system controller to detect problems and recover when a domain hangs in the Solaris OS.
Sun provides a Firmware Flash Utility for updating the expander firmware on SPARC and X64 based platforms. This unbundled product requires the Solaris 10 10/08 OS or later. Here are installation instructions from a Sun engineer on the BigAdmin wiki.
This community-submitted tech tip on the BigAdmin wiki describes a method for temporarily changing the output of the
uname command in the Solaris OS for SPARC or x86 platforms. The author, Bernd Schemmer, uses the sloggi kernel module written by Konrad Rieck.
This new article from a Sun engineer describes how to install the latest Kernel Update patch, or any patch, on a SPARC or x86 miniroot image for the JumpStart installation program.
This SunSolve article describes the process for using Solaris Live Upgrade to upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 05/08 or later releases.
The Solaris 10 05/08 release media (and subsequent updates) were compressed using a different compression utility than previous Solaris 10 releases, which all used bzip2 compression. As a result of this, in order to upgrade to Solaris 05/08 (or later releases) using Solaris Live Upgrade, the live system (on which
luupgrade is running), must have p7zip installed. p7zip was backported to the Solaris 9 OS in patch format, but for Solaris 8 there is no similar patch available. (For more info on patching, see the BigAdmin Patching hub.)
Build 106 introduces support for SPARC systems in the development package repository. Please recognize that this is a development build and is for testing purposes, not production environments. OpenSolaris discussions give more download and installation details (note: This URL has been changed).
Read about the console operations for a traditional system console device in a domain, referred to as "host console". This article looks at input and output devices for chip multithreading (CMT) SPARC platforms. Host console use cases are given for OpenBoot Firmware and for the Solaris Operating System.
This community-submitted article was written by members of the OpenSolaris community. The authors show how to upgrade from the Solaris 10 5/08 release to Solaris 10 10/08 (for SPARC platforms) using Solaris Live Upgrade. They also explain how to manually create a ZFS root pool, copy the UFS root file system into the ZFS root pool, and activate ZFS mirroring.
This Sun BluePrints article covers basic and advanced configuration concepts and goes through several sample configurations for Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000, M5000, M8000, and M9000 servers.
p.s. Happy New Year's Eve!

Clubs: Ruch Chorzów, KSP Polonia Warszawa, Hannover 96
• Joined Ruch's youth department at 16 and made rapid progress, reaching the first team at 18 and making his Ekstraklasa debut on 10 August 2008 as a late substitute against Górnik Zabrze.
• Scored the first of his two 2008/09 Ekstraklasa goals on 12 September against MKS Cracovia Kraków; ended that season playing in the Polish Cup final, which Ruch lost 1-0 to KKS Lech Poznań.
• Scored ten league goals in 2009/10 to finish fourth in the Ekstraklasa hit parade (Robert Lewandowski, of Lech, was top with 18).
• Made his international debut at the end of that season, making substitute appearances in friendlies against Finland, Serbia and Spain; subsequently transferred to Polonia Warszawa for €1m – the largest fee paid by one Polish club to another.
• Struck nine goals for Polonia in 2010/11 but left after just one campaign for Hannover, where he was used predominantly as a substitute, the season's highlight being goals in successive UEFA Europa League fixtures against FC Vorskla Poltava and Club Brugge KV; his only Bundesliga strike came on 11 February 2012 against 1. FSV Mainz 05.
• Made the Poland squad for UEFA EURO 2012 on home soil but failed to make an appearance, but enjoyed an improved season with Hannover in 2012/13, striking five times in 25 Bundesliga outings as well as three in the UEFA Europa League, including qualifying, as the side made it to the round of 32.

Brazilian Airline Backed by Peterson Partners Pulls IPO
Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras has not been cleared for takeoff.
The Brazilian airline launched by Jet Blue Founder David Neeleman, and backed in part by Peterson Partners, has pulled plans for an initial public offering, Luciana Magalhaes writes over at MoneyBeat.
Peterson Partners, a small-cap firm based in Salt Lake City, backed Azul in 2008, the same year it backed commercial aircraft leasing company Jetscape.
Private equity firms have had a storied, sometimes turbulent history with airlines and ancillary businesses. Continental Airlines was one of the deals that made TPG a legend in the PE industry, but the success has often proven difficult for firms to replicate. Some firms, however, have still managed to make it work.
Azul's IPO may not have made it off the runway, but Peterson scored a successful exit late last year when portfolio company Vivint was sold for $2 billion to Blackstone Group. A few months later the firm, which makes investments of $2 million and $15 million per deal, was able to hold a final close on its eighth fund with $140 million.
