The forecast for cloud computing in 2013? A veritable downpour of innovation: the first touch-based operating system. Greater emphasis on the "open cloud." Apple's new virtual server. VMWare's new "self-service" virtualization product. And that's just for starters.
For an IT environment defined by seemingly non-stop evolution, cloud computing will welcome a host of groundbreaking technologies in 2013, according to Infinitely Virtual CEO Adam Stern.
"In looking at innovations shaping the cloud hosting and computing environment for next year, I believe this will be the most exciting time in the history of the cloud model," Stern says. "Whether you're a medium-size business or an early stage startup, in 2013 you will be able to take advantage of new technology that gives you both greater control over your virtual environment, and also more flexibility."
Stern, founder and head of Infinitely Virtual -- a leading provider of virtual server cloud computing services – is available immediately to address these emerging trends:
- The Virtualization of Touch: Windows Server 2012, the first touch-based operating system capable of being hosted in the cloud, will alter the user experience. Stern can offer an early line on what that's likely to look like and what it will signify for small and mid-size businesses.
- The "Open Cloud" Concept: Open computing is coming to the cloud and figures to prompt a huge shift in the development of new apps. Notes Stern: "With openness comes questions of security and data and application interoperability, among other issues."
- Mac OS X: Says Stern: "For Apple-lovers moving to the cloud, this is an enormous technological advancement -- it will virtualize Apple's server operating system."
- Self-Service in the Cloud: In the coming year, the cloud will be less and less the sole domain of the IT intelligentsia, Stern suggests. Look for significant growth in the self-service approach, as users take BYOD to the next level and begin to deploy their own apps and manage their own security -- while maintaining cost-effectiveness and the 24x7 support inherent in cloud-hosted computing. Indicative of this trend: VMWare vShield 5.2, a new product that will enable users to manage their own security, no longer leaving firewall oversight in the hands of the hosting provider.
- The Cloud Goes Financial: For accounting professionals and others in financial services, it should be a watershed year. QuickBooks 2013 will be available in a cloud hosted environment, a boon to one of the fastest-growing sectors in cloud computing.
"We see 2013 shaping up as perhaps the most promising since the advent of cloud hosting," Stern says. "We anticipate that these and other innovations will make the cloud an even more robust, secure and affordable computing environment, and will foster even greater migration to virtualization, to the ultimate benefit of the businesses making the transition."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Product Description
Product Description
Filmmaker Julien Temple's celebration of the life and work of Joe Strummer, frontman of punk band The Clash from 1977 onwards. As a musical icon and political activist, Strummer was never shy about saying what was on his mind. The film contains previously unseen footage including studio sessions, archive and early childhood footage and interviews with devotees including Martin Scorsese, Bono, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mick Jones.
Directed and produced by Joe Strummer's long-time friend Julian Temple (director of 'The Filth and the Fury'), Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten explores the life of the iconic Clash frontman, from his birth in 1952 and rise to fame as one of music's most original voices, to his fatal heart attack in 2002.--This text refers to the DVD edition.

"The Future Is Unwritten" provides us with a glimpse into all that comprised Joe Strummer: Joe's rootless childhood with a distant father and troubled brother, Joe's embrace of the communal lifestyle that would follow him throughout his life, Joe's ascent into rock stardom beginning with the 101'ers and then The Clash, Joe's ultimate disillusionment with rock stardom, his wilderness years, followed by Joe's embrace of his entire legacy and the peace at which he arrived in his final years.
The film does not engage in hagiography, however. We see all that comprised Joe Strummer the man including his flaws. Joe admits as much in the multitude of observations from the man himself that are interspersed throughout the film.
In the end, Julien Temple's film captures the life of Joe Strummer with a mood and feeling evocative of one of Joe's beloved campfires, so much so that by the end you feel that you actually are there in some way. I walked away from this film with the reaffirmation of Joe's very accessible genius: through his music Joe wanted to touch humanity in some way while attempting to transcend humanity at the same time.
Joe remains very much missed. Julien Temple's film reminds us why.
Five stars.
Joe's friends speak honestly and affectionately about him and of course the music is brilliant. I had forgotten how big The Clash got in America which was of course ultimately their downfall as a band. The recording of the Shea Stadium gig which I have on CD (Live at Shea Stadium: 13 Oct 1982/Remastered) is awesome so it was sad to listen to the band talking about "going through the motions" by that stage. The fusion of rock, punk, reggae and anything else that took their fancy was awesome. Joe's post-Clash career with the Pogues and the Mescaleros is charted and his early and unexpected death is discussed by his friends with some emotion.
Julien Temple has yet again come up with an outstanding music documentary (see also The Filth And The Fury [DVD] [2000])of a politically committed rock musician who made a tremendous mark on the times he lived through and left behind a great body of music.
But I have to say Bono talking about integrity is hard to stomach, viz. his tax exile status and the war criminals he hangs out with. One star deducted for that.
Still very worth watching - music and cultural history - but finger on the fast forward!
Contributions by the absolute cream of 1970's/ 80's music and other legends such as Bob Gruen and Jim Jarmusch.
I was welling up at the firemans benefit bit- superb!
Will watch again soon.

Okay. Somewhere last fall someone posted a thread about old florists' vases and some which were marked. Today at a yard sale I located one marked "Hoosier Glass" and picked it up for $1. I'll take a photo tomorrow and post it. Just cannot locate the thread and don't know if this was what the poster was referring to or not. Sorry to be so vague, but that's what reading too many threads does to my mind!

QUESTION:How long do I cold stratify Rudbeckia maxima seeds that I wild harvested? Can I put them in the freezer instead of fridge? Do I need to make sure they are completely dry before cold strat?
There are 20 members of the Rudbeckia genus native to North America, of which 11 are native to Arkansas. However, this USDA Plant Profile Map shows that Rudbeckia maxima (Giant coneflower) is only native to 3 counties on the western edge of Arkansas, clear across the state from Cross County, so you may have harvested seeds from a very similar species or even from a hybrid. However, it really doesn't matter too much, they are closely related enough that if we can find propagation instructions they should be applicable to any of the Rudbeckia species.
Our webpage on R. maxima did not have propagation instructions on it, but the page on R. hirta, also native to Arkansas, had these instructions:
Propagation Material: Seeds
Description: Propagates very easily from seed sown in fall or spring. Spring-sown seed should be stratified. Rake seed into a loose topsoil or cover with ¼ to ½ inch of soil or mulch. If possible, supplement with water if fall or spring rains are infrequent and light. The seed requires several days of moisture and should germinate in one to two weeks.
Seed Collection: The nutlets turn charcoal-gray at maturity, usually 3-4 weeks after the bloom period. Seeds are mature at this time, but they are easier to collect after cones lose their tight compact stucture. Store dry in sealed, refrigerated containers.
Seed Treatment: Stratify for 3 months at 40 degrees.
Commercially Avail: yes
Maintenance: Black-eyed Susans are drought tolerant but respond well to an occasional watering. Additional irrigation in a dry year will improve the density of the stand and lengthen the flowering season. Do not mow until after the plants have formed mature seed cones, about three to four weeks after flowering. (Check by breaking a cone open and if the seeds are dark, they are mature.) The number of volunteer plants can be limited by removing the seed heads after the flowers are done."
Since this member of the Mr. Smarty Plants Team has no personal experience with cold stratification of seeds, we found these instructions from Wildones.org. Hopefully, you will find the method that works best for you.

British actor Gary Shail has been put on a restraining order after he admitted launching into a violent, drink-fuelled rampage.
Shail, who starred in the cult 1979 movie version of The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia, screamed abuse at his girlfriend and smashed a marble table worth $1,600 (£1,000) during the incident at her home in Southsea, England.
He also broke her phone and threatened to kill himself with a knife, according to a report published in British newspaper The Sun.
Shail, a recovering alcoholic who has also enjoyed roles in U.K. Tv shows Dempsey and Makepeace, The Bill, and Casualty, blamed a booze binge for his behaviour.
He admitted assault and criminal damage and was put under a restraining order and a supervision order.

first digital camera
Jul 1, 2005
I am looking for my first digital camera. I would like at least a 5MP and LCD that is about 2 inches. And one that takes both good indoor and outdoor shots. I tried the new Kodak V550 and outdoor pictures were excellent but many indoor shots were dark and hard to correct. My daughter had good luck with her old Canon and I thought I'd try that. Hers is no longer available. Any help would be most appreciated.

Chances are, if you're watching a movie featuring an American Indian, you're watching Russell Means. The actor-activist has been in films such as Last of the Mohicans, Natural Born Killers and Black Cloud, where he has played noble and fearsome characters. Dude's also fearsome when it comes to promoting awareness of Native American issues, something he'll be doing at today's American Indian Film Festival. A featured guest, Means will host a screening of Last of the Mohicans. Other films include the edgy documentary Gold, Greed and Genocide. Before and after the films, enjoy Native American dance performances, art and grub. Proceeds benefit the American Indian Genocide Museum.

Six years after cutting his musical teeth as a teen, tickling the ivories on the classic Lauryn Hill single "Everything Is Everything," John Stephens popped up everywhere in 2004, going by the bold name of John Legend. His ubiquity was unsurprising, since he was taken under the wing of Kanye West, the year's breakout success, who tabbed Legend "the future of hip-hop." It's an interesting label for a man whose elegant voice and schooled songwriting conjures up Bill Withers and Al Green, but sometimes the future intersects with the past in a manner transcending revival.
Legend drops his debut, GET LIFTED, into the center of the neo-soul universe, and it's a charming, earnest record. Sometimes he dives into a contemporary slow jam, as on "Let's Get Lifted;" other times he finds a groove the Delfonics would be proud of, as on the West-driven "Number One." On the gently gorgeous "Ordinary People, " however, it's just the man and his piano. Whether he's truly the future direction of any genre or not, Legend is an artist to watch, and GET LIFTED offers the first major taste of his talent.

i really hope that there is a 30GB only version, beacuse i bought my a 30GB iPod over the 60GB because it was thinner, so i dont want a case that is thicker than it needs to be.
Posted by K. Pilkington on October 10, 2006 at 4:37 PM (CDT)
i agree; I would really like a 30 GB specific case.
My problem is this only supports headphones with small plug (like the apple ones).
My Sony head phones with a right angle plug will not work
hopefully they will come out with an adapter.

Hey I'm about to buy an iPod video, but did some research first. I started out with Creatives ZEN-model, which had a 2,5" screen cantaining 265.000 colors. Now I checked out the NEW iPod 5G but it said that this new ipod only had 65.000 colors?
i mean….IS THAT TRUE? HAS APPLE REALLY NOT PUT MORE COLORS INTO THIS NEW RETOUCHED, 66% BRIGHTER, DEVICE THAN 65.000 COLORS??

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton throws cold water on Manning to AZ talk
Another day, and there's more talk about the possibility
of Peyton Manning wearing Arizona Cardinals' red in 2012.
However, Tuesday ESPN NFL insider John Clayton appeared on
ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike (mornings 5 to 9 a.m. on
Arizona Sports 620) and went "against the grain" and
doubted whether the Manning-Arizona marriage will ever
"I still don't think Bill Bidwill is going to pay two
years for two quarterbacks because he already paid last
year for Kevin Kolb," Clayton said.
Of course, the Cardinals traded cornerback Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie and a second round draft pick to
Philadelphia for Kolb, and then rewarded their new signal
caller with a 5-year, $63 million contract — of which $21
million is guaranteed.
Kolb is also due a $7 million roster bonus by St.
Patrick's Day.
In fact, Clayton didn't even include the Cardinals in the
list of suitors for Manning. "He already knows the
principals that will be involved," he said. "He knows
that Washington, Miami, maybe the New York Jets, possibly
Seattle — those will be the teams that are going to be
out there making the phone calls."
Clayton's thinking is in direct contrast with handicappers
who have installed Arizona as the favorite among possible new
destinations for Manning.
In other Manning to Arizona news, Cardinals' Pro Bowl
receiver Larry Fitzgerald refuted rumors of his alleged
dinner with the quarterback. Fitzgerald, while making a
promotional appearance at a Valley cell phone store, said
he hasn't spoken to Manning since the 2011 Pro Bowl in

ST PETERSBURG, Russia Greece will keep moving closer to default unless European Union policymakers stop sparring in public about its debt crisis, Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said on Friday.
"It is like open theatre," O'Neill told Reuters Insider television in an interview at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia.
Asked if he thought Greece would default, he said: "I think the risk of it is getting closer unless European policymakers are a bit more sensible."
He urged European policymakers no to "keep on publicly sparring with each other, like some game theory between the ECB, the French and the Germans."
He said the risk of Greece leaving the euro was probably some way off and that Greece did "not matter economically".
But he warned that contagion did matter and that if Italy and Spain were badly affected it would be a "big problem".
He said the euro was unlikely to remain above $1.40.
"I cannot really see how it can stay above 1.40," he said.

Down and out? Q4 tech results round-up
Apple, Google, Nokia, eBay, Sony and Microsoft all reported their Q4 results this week, but how did they fair and who looks like they are going to be struggling for the rest of 2009?
It seems even in a recession people want to buy Apples. Unlike many other tech companies struggling in the current climate, the company has again revealed record results. Apple posted record revenue of $10.17 billion and record net quarterly profits of $1.61 billion. In growth terms that means Apple sold 2,524,000 Macs during the quarter, a 9% growth over the year-ago quarter and sold 22,727,000 iPods - apparently a record - and 3% up from the same time last year while the quarterly iPhone sales come in at 4,363,000.
News: Apple reveals record results
Google showed that the advertising search giant is still mainly unaffected by the credit crunch with revenues up by 18% over the same quarter in 2007 and up 3% up on third quarter revenues in 2008. Net Income was down 68% to $382 million compared to $1.2 billion a year ago, but only because of a write-down related to ownership stakes in AOL and Clearwire. It's not just the USA bringing in the cash either, revenues from outside of the United States totalled $2.86 billion, representing 50% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 with revenues from the United Kingdom totalling $685 million.
News: Google revenue up, but profits down
Not a great one for Nokia with the company reporting dire financial results for the fourth quarter of 2008. Nokia's profits fell a massive 69% as the economic downturn slowed phone sales. Net profit was 576 million euros down from 1.84 billion euros in the same period in 2007. Sales fell 19.5% and Nokia's market share also took a 3% tumble to 37%.
News: Nokia profits plunge 69%
eBay's results weren't as bad as Nokia's but it still reported Q4 revenue fell 7% to $2.04 billion, apparently its first drop in sales in 10 years. The San Jose-based company's net income in the fourth quarter dropped 31% from the same time last year to $367 million while auction revenue fell 16%. December traffic to the auction site was 4% lower than at Christmas last year, says comScore. This is perhaps surprising considering that it may have been assumed credit crunched consumers would be hunting for bargains. However many commentators believe it has more to do with selling fees and feedback issues rather than the market on its own.
News: eBay results show profits down 31%
It's not yet time for Sony to release its Q4 sales, however that didn't stop the electronics giant releasing a revised results forecast for its fiscal year ending in March. Sony says it now expects sales to come in at 7.7 trillion yen (about £63 billion) around a 14% drop on its previous prediction while the company warns it will see a loss of around 150 billion yen - around £1.2 billion. On the gaming side of things, although Sony has cut its PSP sales predictions by a million, the PlayStation 3 target is the only one to be left unchanged at 10 million.
News: Sony dramatically lowers forecast
With Windows 7 already getting good reviews, it seems it's Vista that's causing Microsoft's sales woes. Microsoft has announced that it will slash 5000 staff from its workforce over the next 18 months as it revealed a sharp drop in profits. An 11% drop in its second quarter profit with 2008's Christmas period said to be the worst for a number of years meaning profits were down by $600 million. The layoffs are being reported as a first for Microsoft, since it was founded in 1975, apart from staff cuts made from reorganisations after company acquisitions.

The aim of the present study was to develop a functional oral health literacy (OHL) instrument for adults, including new measures of literacy skills (OHL Adults Questionnaire: OHL-AQ).
An item pool was provided, and an expert panel evaluated the items by assessing the content validity index and content validity ratio. The reliability analysis, including internal consistency and reproducibility, were examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). In addition a known-groups comparison was performed to assess how well the questionnaire discriminates between individuals who differ in education and brushing behavior.
A total of 97 participants were studied. The mean age of the participants was 36.3 (standard deviation [SD] = 12.8) years; 34% had more than 12 years' formal education. Overall, 39.2% of interviewees had inadequate, 16.5% had marginal, and 44.3% had adequate OHL. The internal consistency, as measured by Cronbach's alpha, was found to be 0.72, and the ICC was 0.84. Participants who brushed more frequently had significantly higher OHL scores (P = 0.03). The association between OHL scores and years of education was also significant (P < 0.001).
The OHL-AQ is a valid and reliable measure of functional OHL, with additional sections for evaluating listening and decision-making skills.

Vending machines normally cure the munchies with shelves laden with chips and chocolates, but one being trialled in West Auckland may well cause them.
New Zealand's first cannabis club, the Daktory, has been using the machine - which sells one gram bags of cannabis for $20 - at it's New Lynn headquarters to avoid any of their members being charged with dealing the Class C drug.
The hired vending machine is a standard dispenser but has been filled with cannabis rather than confectionery or toys.
The Daktory was opened in November 2008 and boasted a membership of several thousand before its founder Dakta Green was jailed for eight months for possessing, selling and for allowing the Delta Ave warehouse to be used for drug taking in June 2011.
The Solicitor-General later appealed the 61-year-old's sentence and it was more than doubled to 23 months.
Following Green's sentencing the Daktory announced it was closing its doors to the public and would be used as the headquarters for the National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (Norml).
But Norml president Julian Crawford confirmed the club was again open for business from Wednesday to Sunday.
He said the vending machine had been a hit with guests with ''a few hundred sales'' taking place on busy nights.
''It has been very popular, quite a few people come here.''
While conceding the machine had attracted some people simply interested in buying cannabis, Crawford hoped once inside the premises Norml could educate users on cannabis reform and sign them up to the cause.
''We want to grow the number of activists we've got, not just be like a tinnie house,'' Crawford said.
Norml's membership had dwindled in recent years.
Crawford said the vending machine was ''an example of how things could be'' if cannabis was legalised.
It seems the Daktory's new invention hasn't gone down well with everyone.
Crawford said a New Lynn police officer visited last week and informed him police would soon set-up a check point outside the clubrooms and speak with people coming and going from the premises.
''[The officer] said that there had been some directives higher up to take some action against the Daktory.''
Crawford was relaxed about the impending sting and ''respected they had a job to do''.
He has warned members not to leave the club with cannabis or to smell like they had consumed it as that would give police reason to search them.
''The presence of police is likely to drive people away but we don't see the club as a business so that doesn't matter... We'd prefer it was just the hardcore members here that support the legalise cannabis movement.''
A Waitemata police spokesperson said the club was being monitored as part of ''normal routine policing''.
''Like everything, we keep a close eye on things.''
Dakta Green, who changed his name from Ken Morgan in 2008, is expected to be released from jail in June and Crawford said he would return to the Daktory and cannabis activism.
