Wednesday practice report: Cobb, Nelson, Boykin absent
Green Bay - So much for the Green Bay Packers having all their receivers back and healthy.
Three days before they're set to play the San Francisco 49ers in a divisional playoff game at Candlestick Park, the Packers were without Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jarrett Boykin.
Nelson's injury has been a mystery since he went out briefly in the wild-card game against Minnesota, although there was some indication he might have been kicked in the calf. He swore after the game that it was not the knee or ankle he had hurt previously.
Cobb's absence comes a day after he practiced and might be flu related. The Packers have had a run of flu absences for several weeks and he might be the latest to have it.
Boykin (ankle) tried to practice on Tuesday, but it probably was too early given the way his ankle was bent in the season-finale against Minnesota at the Metrodome.
The Packers will release their first injury report of the week in about a half hour or so.
Also missing from practice was S Jerron McMillian and DL Jerel Worthy, who is out for the season with a knee injury.
The walk-through was held indoors, but it appeared the players were dressed for taking the team drills outside.
The offensive and defensive linemen were in pads, but the skill players were not.

[/quote] Thanks for taking a look for me... [/quote] no problem. i just did a google search on the subject and found a link under yahoo answer (yeah....i know) and there was a guy talking about it being the "2009 series" and that all the current bills being printed were part of the "2009 series" not necessarily meaning they were printed in 2009. i have no idea if there is any truth to that, just wanted to throw it out there. [/quote] There's a 2011 series as well, and they had a huge print run, hundreds of billions in bills of all denominations, but it has not been made available to the banks, and it has been over a year now. Very odd... [/quote] did they even bother printing? Or was this more 1's and 0's on a computer to further devalue our currency? [/quote] No, it was an actual print run at the treasury... But they aren't even taking as many worn and torn bills out of the system as they usually do. My fed friend said they official line is they are trying to save money by leaving bills in the system a little longer, but he also tells me banks are reporting running totally out of cash all over Texas, and I suspect the rest of the country as well. He said usually when banks begin reporting cash shortages, they release the newest print run...but they're not doing it for some reason... [/quote]
Original Message
Okay guys, I'm calling up old banker friends and contacts today, even some old contacts at the Dallas Federal Reserve to get to the bottom of this, but I warn you, if my suspisions are correct, this could be huge...One of the biggest financial stories of the year!!!
What I need is for everyone who reads this to check the Cash in your Wallet or where ever, and see if you have any money there that has a series date after 2009???
None of the Banks have extra cash on hand, they are virtually running hand to mouth. Old bills that should have been retired because of wear and tear are staying in the system. When you can get cash at your bank, it's all old bills. And I know they printed a huge run in 2011, but I can't find where it has been made available to the banks for distribution. We're talking about Hundreds of Billions in cash being held out of our financial system right now...
And the question is...Why???
Help Me Out GLP, Take a quick look at your bills and let me know what you find. The printing run date is near the bottom on the front of the bills...
UPDATE: After speaking with a friend of mine at the Dallas Fed I found out a few things. The Series 2009 is still being printed, even though they were slated to make Series Adjustments in 2011. These adjustments were canceled in favor of some new 3D Tech coming out on the new $100 dollar bills slated to be Series 2012 or 2013.
All of this said, there is still a severe shortage of cash available to banks, ATM's, and Business'. This despite increased printing in 2011 and extreme increases already this year, 2012. So, WHERE IS ALL THIS CASH THEY ARE PRINTING GOING? Because it's sure not making it to circulation in the U.S.A.
Also, why are they keeping our U.S. banks short on cash???
Please advise on any experiences you have where you had trouble withdrawing cash from your bank!!!

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Cyclestreets
A lot of fuss has been made recently about "Boris' Bikes" - the new public cycling scheme in London.
These schemes have been successful in countless cities all over the world, but as soon as it comes to London, the wheels start to fall off a bit.
We've had residents complaining about the docking stations: too many bikes, not enough bikes, they're too expensive, they're not safe and so on and so on.
We reckon it's a brilliant idea though and anything that gets people off the Tube and out into the fresh (well, sort of fresh) air is a good thing.
However, the map that Transport for London provides as guidance for cycle routes comes up a bit short, so we went looking for an alternative.
Enter www.cyclestreets.net, a UK-wide cycling route planner, complete with handy pictures and even video of the routes, so you know you're on the right track.
You punch in your start and end points and the site spits out route options based on the weight of traffic (which is tellingly rated in terms of "hostility") and also gives an idea of the gradient profile. So if you see a big hill halfway through your route, you can find a way round it.
The routes are exportable to GPS devices too, so you can take your routes with you when you get peddling.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.

Can't blame Coy for wanting to be a girl. Boy toys and clothes are so
boring. But then, I never had brothers and am mom to only daughters.
Did the parents try steering him (and unless they get rid of that pesky Y chromosome, "him" is what he is!) toward gender-neutral styles and activities? Boys and girls can both enjoy sports, arts and crafts, board and video games, adult modeling (playing kitchen or workshop, etc.), music performance, pet-raising, gardening, etc. Why do kids have to be pushed toward one stereotype or the other?

This reminded me of a similar case in Boston involving twins:
Jonas and Wyatt Maines were born identical twins, but from the start each had a distinct personality.
'Wyattneeds hair accessories, clothes, shoes . . . likes to wear bikinis, high heels, mini-skirts.'
Jonas was all boy. He loved Spiderman, action figures, pirates, and swords.
Wyatt favored pink tutus and beads. At 4, he insisted on a Barbie birthday cake and had a thing for mermaids. On Halloween, Jonas was Buzz Lightyear. Wyatt wanted to be a princess; his mother compromised on a prince costume.
When Wyatt was 4, he asked his mother: "When do I get to be a girl?''
His parents had no idea what was going on. They had barely heard the term "transgender.'' Baffled, they tried to deflect Wyatt's girlish impulses by buying him action figures like his brother's and steering him toward Cub Scouts, soccer, and baseball.

Sex is a biological attribute determined by genetics (X and Y chromosomes) and
anatomy. Gender is entirely a social construct determined by culture,
tradition, law, and so on. As such, gender is malleable and contextual.
Medical technology has made it possible to modify anatomy and make it less
biological and more cultural.
Kudos to this child's parents for supporting her in the face of prejudice.

Gender Identity Disorder diagnosis at age 6?!!!!! You must be kidding! I know a
little girl who refused to come unless she was called Jimmy. She insisted on
wearing only pants and cowboy boots. The family thought it was because her
brother, one and a half years younger was very sickly and therefore got all the
attention. It did not take too long before she outgrew it, but if I recall
correctly it persisted for a couple of years.
Our society is much too fast to diagnose a "disorder" without really looking to learn the true cause of behavior because it is just another excuse to medicate someone. Get them at an early age and you can medicate them for a lifetime! Unfortunately due to the very damaging effects of such medications that lifetime is cut much too short.

Patriarch of Myanmar remembered
Beatification a boost for Myanmar Church
ucanews.com reporter, Yangon
June 22, 2011
A group of 19 Myanmar delegates are in Italy to witness the beatification of Father Clement Visnara – 'the Patriarch of Myanmar' – in Milan's famous Duomo cathedral on Sunday. A native of Milan, Father Clement Vismara (1897-1988) served for 64 years as a missionary for PIME, Italy's Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions. He lived and worked among the untamed forests and remote, towering mountains of the Kengtung district, to the far east of the country. There he cared for orphans, lepers, opium addicts and widows, introduced new crops and agricultural techniques and made great strides in building the Church among non-Christians. A man of deep faith and a great writer, it was said that "he saw the extraordinary in the ordinary." The Myanmar group comprises two bishops, nine priests and seven laypeople from Kengtung diocese, along with a priest from Taungngu diocese. Father Stephen Ano, director of Karuna Kengtung Social Service, is one of them. "His unconditional love for the humblest of our society, especially the poor and abandoned children, was what inspired me most," says Father Ano. "Father Vismara was a model missionary who found the perfect balance between work and prayer." Another of the group is Father Clement Angelo, spiritual director of St. Joseph's Catholic Major Seminary in Yangon (Rangoon), who remembers Father Vismara well. "I was baptized by him and I've been inspired by him for 18 years," he says. "He worked so earnestly, setting up chapels and little schools and helping catechumens towards baptism." "By participating in this beatification, I can show my gratitude for what he has done for me over these 18 years and thank him for his good example and support." One person who talks of Father Vismara with especial reverence is Joseph Ta Ya Soe, a 21-year-old parishioner from Kengtung, who says he was miraculously healed through Father Vismara's intercession. "When I was 10, I fell out of a tree and was in a coma for days," he says. "The doctor told the Religious superior I had only a 50:50 chance of recovery and I would never be a normal person." "So the superior started to appeal to God for me. A picture of Father Vismara was placed on my chest and ceaseless prayers were offered. After three days, I recovered." The life of Father Vismara Born in 1897 in Agrate Brianza, Clement Vismara took part in the First World War as a trench soldier, emerging from battle with the rank of sergeant and three medals for valour. He became a priest and missionary of PIME in 1923 and left for Burma. After six months learning English in Taungngu, the last city with a British governor, he set off for Kengtung, an almost unexplored land still ruled by a local king. He remained there for the rest of his life and died on June 15, 1988. His resting place is in the town of Mongping, near the church and the grotto of Lourdes, which he built.

Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — A college student with two guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a backpack filled with explosives pulled a dorm fire alarm Monday in an apparent attempt to force other students out into the open so he could slaughter them, authorities said. But he instead put a bullet in his head as police closed in.
James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30, was found dead in his dorm room at the 51,000-student Orlando campus of the University of Central Florida. No one else was hurt.
"His timeline got off," university Police Chief Richard Beary said. "We think the rapid response of law enforcement may have changed his ability to think quickly on his feet."
Some 500 students were evacuated from the building in the middle of the night, unaware how narrowly they had escaped what could have been another Virginia Tech-style bloodbath.
"It could have been a very bad day here for everybody. All things considered, I think we were very blessed here," Beary said. "Anybody armed with this type of weapon and ammunition could have hurt a lot of people here, particularly in a crowded area as people were evacuating."
Police shed no light on a motive, but university spokesman Grant Heston said that before the episode, the school was in the process of removing Seevakumaran from the dormitory because he hadn't enrolled for the current semester. He had never been seen by university counselors and had no disciplinary problems with other students, Heston said.
Detectives found notes and other writings that indicated Seevakumaran had carefully planned an attack and "laid out a timeline of where he was going to be and what he was going to do," Beary said.
The episode began early Monday, just after midnight, when Seevakumaran pulled a gun on one of his roommates, who holed up in a bathroom and called police, Beary said. Around the same time, Seevakumaran pulled a fire alarm, apparently to get other students out in the open, the police chief said.
In his room, investigators found four makeshift explosive devices in a backpack, a .45-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber tactical rifle, and a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition, police said. Beary said it appears his weapon and ammunition purchases began in February.
Antonio Whitehead, 21, said he heard the fire alarm go off in the dorm and thought it was a routine event.
"All of a sudden, I felt the crowd move a little faster. And a police officer with a machine gun or something told everyone to start moving a lot faster," he said.
Seevakumaran had attended the university from 2010 through the fall semester as a business student. His roommates told detectives that he had shown antisocial behavior but had never shown any violent tendencies, Beary said.
According to Florida records, his only adult arrest in the state was in 2006 for driving with a suspended license.
Morning classes were canceled, but most campus operations resumed around noon.

The Republic of Adolanta is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mondius with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.708 billion Adolantans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adolantis City. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Adolantan economy, worth a remarkable 1,902 trillion Pingas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,683 Pingas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Students cut up leftover Pingas during Arts and Crafts, Adolanta is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adolanta's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.
Adolanta is ranked 10,886th in the world and 231st in The East Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 32.77 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.

Most Recent Government Activity:

Brand new Vimeo player is 50 per cent faster, uses HTML5 and adds new creator tools
Vimeo has gone back to the drawing board and redesigned its video player from scratch to create a future-proof platform. The result is a faster and more accessible Vimeo.
The new Vimeo player is an impressive 50 per cent faster than it was before, meaning quicker load and click-to-play times. It also uses HTML5 making it more accessible whether you're on a PC, tablet or smartphone. It will even respond dynamically to your platform as it resizes itself to fit your screen.
For professional users it's easier to sell as Vimeo On Demand content embedded off Vimeo.com can sell directly from the player. Creators can also add closed captioning and translated subtitles to videos. Voiceover compatibility and screen readers capabilities are also available to further increase accessibility.
Finally, the new Vimeo player has improved sharing with tools that allow users to email, embed and post to social networks all from one place.
The new Vimeo player is live today.

Mark Shuttleworth Interview, Part I: on Dapper, and Ubuntu in the Enterprise
Recently, Ubuntu founder and Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth spoke with The 451 Group at length about Dapper, Ubuntu, and the trends and development of the open source and free software movements as they relate to enterprise information technology. In this multi-part series, The 451 Group will present Shuttleworth's comments along with insight and commentary from 451 Group analysts who cover the worlds of open source and enterprise software. . These include Rachel Chalmers, Martin Schneider, Raven Zachary and me, Nick Selby.
Ubuntu 6.06, the Dapper Drake, is scheduled to launch officially on 1 June. We've been running it here at The 451 Group for some months (in fact, this report was produced on it - see Open Source software at The 451 Group). In addition to its obvious desktop enhancements, much work has been done by the Ubuntu development team to appeal to a market which until recently seemed to have been beyond Ubuntu's reach: the enterprise server.
When Shuttleworth originally suggested that the delay take place, the reasons given were to increase stability and reliability of Dapper, as well as devoting additional developer time to UI polish, to try to make Dapper stand out as a high-quality desktop operating system for large-scale deployment.

We address the issue of recovering and segmenting the apparent velocity field in sequences of images. As for motion estimation, we minimize an objective function involving two robust terms. The first one cautiously captures the optical flow constraint, while the second (a priori) term incorporates a discontinuity-preserving smoothness constraint. To cope with the nonconvex minimization problem thus defined, we design an efficient deterministic multigrid procedure. It converges fast toward estimates of good quality, while revealing the large discontinuity structures of flow fields. We then propose an extension of the model by attaching to it a flexible object-based segmentation device based on deformable closed curves (different families of curve equipped with different kinds of prior can be easily supported). Experimental results on synthetic and natural sequences are presented, including an analysis of sensitivity to parameter tuning

On article Tokina exhibits 70-200mm F4 FX and 12-28mm F4 DX lenses at CP+ (53 comments in total)
The 12-28 is quite interesting in deed; that extra 4 mm range might prove to be useful. Sort of a combination of the 11-16 & 16-28 (or really just a slight extension/upgrade of the 12-24, having f/4 instead of f/2.8).
The 70-200 is quite heavy, especially compared to the e.g. Nikkor 4/VR and even more so compared to the similar Canon 4/IS. Let's hope the Tokina is well built and that the price is right. Could be tight to squeeze it in between the other third party 2.8 and original lenses though.

No Man's Sky: Dutch-based company claims Hello Games used patented superformula to create game
Jul 20, 2016 | 27 Comments

Included in the collection is a battle-game music track from the four-part Pokémon Origins animated miniseries set to debut on Pokémon TV this Friday, Nov. 15, along with five tracks from the Red and Blue games.
Soundtracks from other games — FireRed and LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, Black and White, and Black 2 and White 2 — will release in 2014.

The Romney Logo: Romneyfresh Hotel Cola
Barack Obama's 2008 logo was the toast of the design world, but Mitt Romney's doesn't feel quite as fresh — despite its striking resemblance to the logo for Aquafresh toothpaste. Actually, it looks like pretty much every other corporate logo in America: Aquafresh, Pepsi, Ramada Hotels, and Carnival Cruise, among others. The Romney font is set to Trajan, which is the same font used for Lord of the Rings, Minority Report, Titanic, The Mummy and Star Wars Episode II.
- Hillary Clinton's campaign was reportedly hacked as part of what appears to be a broad cyber attack on Democrats.
- A federal court struck down North Carolina's voting restrictions, ruling they intentionally made it harder for black people to vote.
- Four people in Florida are likely the first to contract the Zika virus from mosquitos in the US, the state's governor says.

About Janet Fikar
Photographer Janet Fikar seeks to share captured images of the world around us through the medium of digital photography. She has been actively pursuing photography since 2007 and enjoys sharing her Fine Art Photography with others.
Janet's photography depicts her love of composition that draws the eye to the interplay of light, color and shadow. Other than nature photography, Janet has a wide interest of subjects which span from the majestic landscape to the micro details of a water drop.
For Janet, photography is her passion, her relaxation, her recreation and her reflection. Her camera helps her take the time to look around for color, light and shapes so that she can capture the everyday beauty of what might have otherwise been missed. She draws inspiration from the nature all around her and discovers the magic in familiar places seen with a fresh eye.
Janet's photography has been in galleries for group shows and contests. Her photographs have been published in magazines, eBooks, and book covers. Many of her photographs are sold in major discount stores and local souvenir shops as postcards representing the local region and the Emerald Coast.

[UPDATE: Carl DeMaio called late Monday to say he was "mortified" by the situation and that National Journal should have been credited as the original source of his report on congressional pensions. "I'm terribly sorry," he said.
DeMaio said his staff had produced the pensions report at his direction but he did not know the full extent to which its contents had been lifted from National Journal until Monday morning. Still, he took full responsibility. "I don't throw my staff under the bus," he said.
He said he still hoped to change the system of members of Congress receiving public pensions, citing past success at the local level when "we've been able to shame" unwilling politicians into such reforms.
The original story appears below.]
Republican congressional candidate Carl DeMaio is attacking his opponent for pension double-dipping but he appears to be plagiarizing National Journal to do it.
DeMaio has claimed to have authored a "report" finding that 102 members of Congress are drawing a government pension atop their congressional salaries. He leaked an advanced copy to The Wall Street Journal on Monday and is following up with an event in San Diego this morning to induct some lawmakers, most notably his opponent, Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., into a "Hall of Shame."
But his "report" looks like little more than a copied-and-pasted version of a National Journal database that accompanied a cover story last June on congressional double-dipping. National Journal reviewed the financial disclosure forms of every member of the House and Senate to create the database and reveal that nearly one in five members of Congress are collecting taxpayer-funded retirements atop their $174,000 salaries.
The data in DeMaio's version, which is touted as a "Report by Carl DeMaio" on its first page, matches the National Journal database, down to the text, colors, and abbreviations.
Among the few differences, DeMaio put a "$" and commas in the field detailing the amount of lawmakers' public pensions.
Also, Peters did not appear in the original National Journal database because he filed an extension on his financial disclosure form in 2013. He appears to have been inserted into DeMaio's copied list, which can be seen because the colors of lawmakers' entries vary with each person, with the exception of Peters.
"DeMaio Revealing 102 Members of Congress Get Paid Twice," his campaign advertised in a press release on Monday, previewing the event at his campaign office and linking to The Wall Street Journal piece.
DeMaio spokesman Dave McCulloch defended the report, arguing that DeMaio had been "targeting state and local politicians" for pensions since 2004.
"As Carl takes his pension-reform efforts national, the campaign expanded his list to include members of Congress, using publicly available data including Member Financial Interest Disclosures and the previous reporting done by National Journal," McCulloch said.
He claimed the campaign document is "the first report on Double Dipping covering the current Congress," though no new financial disclosures have been released since the National Journal database was published last June, except for lawmakers who filed extensions.
Meanwhile, Peters' office told The Wall Street Journal that the congressman donates his pension to local libraries.

"Trump will try to steal some of Hillary Clinton's thunder during the Democratic National Convention here this week with a slate of swing-state appearances that will test the appeal of his new running mate. ... Pence will join the GOP presidential nominee at stops in Virginia and North Carolina on Monday, Florida on Tuesday and Pennsylvania on Wednesday, according to a campaign schedule. Other GOP allies will hover around Philadelphia for counterprogramming during the Democratic gathering."
The Republicans you heard chanting "build that wall!" last week in Cleveland are in the minority, a new poll from Gallup finds. While 62 percent of Republicans favor building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, just 33 percent of Americans hold that view. Conversely, 84 percent of Americans, including 76 percent of Republicans, favor allowing those living in the U.S. without proper documentation to become citizens "if they meet certain requirements over a period of time."
According to a new CNN/ORC poll, Donald Trump emerged from the GOP convention "ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson (9%) and Jill Stein (3%) and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%. That latter finding represents a 6-point convention bounce for Trump, which are traditionally measured in two-way matchups." Meanwhile, a Morning Consult poll shows Trump leading by four points nationally. He had been down two points in the same poll a week ago.
As the Democratic National Convention gets underway today in Philadelphia, some prominent Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate are nowhere to be found. "At least four candidates in major races are opting out, including Russ Feingold, who is challengingSen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin; Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who is taking on Sen. John McCain in Arizona; Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander, who is running against Sen. Roy Blunt; and Catherine Cortez Masto, who is battling Rep. Joe Heck in Nevada for the seat vacated by retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid." The candidates have stated their decisions aren't motivated by a desire to avoid being tied to the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

I've been taken aback lately by the tacit assumption that cloud-like (IaaS and PaaS) services have to be provided by folks like Amazon, Terremark and others. It's as if these providers do some black magic that enterprises can't touch or replicate. However, history has taught the IT industry that what starts in the external domain eventually makes its way into the enterprise, and vice-versa.
I've been taken aback lately by the tacit assumption that cloud-like (IaaS and PaaS) services have to be provided by folks like Amazon, Terremark and others. It's as if these providers do some black magic that enterprises can't touch or replicate.
However, history's taught the IT industry that what starts in the external domain eventually makes its way into the enterprise, and vice-versa. Consider Google beginning with internet search, and later offering an enterprise search appliance. Then, there's the reverse: An application, say a CRM system, leaves the enterprise to be hosted externally as SaaS, such as SalesForce.com. But even in this case, the first example then recurs -- as SalesForce.com begins providing internal Salesforce.com appliances back to its large enterprise customers!
I am simply trying to challenge the belief that cloud-like architectures have to remain external to the enterprise. They don't. I believe it's inevitable that they will soon find their way into the enterprise, and become a revolutionary paradigm of how *internal* IT infrastructure is operated and managed.
With each IT management conversation I've had, the concept that I recently put forward is becoming clearer and more inevitable. That an "internal cloud" (call it a cloud architecture or utility computing) will penetrate enterprise datacenters.
Limitations of "external" cloud computing architectures
Already, a number of authorities have pretty clearly outlined the pros and cons of using external service providers as "cloud" providers. For reference, there is the excellent "10 reasons enterprises aren't ready to trust the cloud" by Stacey Higginbotham of GigaOM, as well as a piece by Mike Walker of MSDN regarding "Challenges of moving to the cloud". So it stands that innovation will work around these limitations, borrowing from the positive aspects of external service providers, omitting the negatives, and offering the result to IT Ops.
Is an "internal" cloud architecture possible and repeatable?
So here is my main thesis: that there are software IT management products available today (and more to come) that will operate *existing* infrastructure in a manner identical to the operation of IaaS and PaaS. Let me say that again -- you don't have to outsource to an "external" cloud provider as long as you already own legacy infrastructure that can be re-purposed for this new architecture.
This statement -- and associated enabling software technologies -- is beginning to spell the beginning of the final commoditization of compute hardware. (BTW, I find it amazing that some vendors continue to tout that their hardware is optimized for cloud computing. That is a real oxymoron)
As time passes, cloud-computing infrastructures (ok, Utility Computing architectures if you must) coupled with the trend toward architecture standardization, will continue to push the importance of specialized HW out of the picture. Hardware margins will continue to be squeezed. (BTW, you can read about the "cheap revolution" in Forbes, featuring our CEO Bill Coleman).
As the VINF blog also observed, regarding cloud-based architectures:
You can build your own cloud, and be choosy about what you give to others. Building your own cloud makes a lot of sense, it's not always cheap but its the kind of thing you can scale up (or down..) with a bit of up-front investment, in this article I'll look at some of the practical; and more infrastructure focused ways in which you can do so.
Even back in February, Mike Nygard observed reasons and benefits for this trend:
Your "cloud platform" is essentially an internal shared services system where you can actually and practically implement a "platform" team that operates and capacity plans for the cloud platform; they manage its availability and maintenance day-day and expansion/contraction.
Why should a company build its own cloud, instead of going to one of the providers?
We are seeing the beginning of an inflection point in the way IT is managed, brought on by (1) the interest (though not yet adoption) of cloud architectures, (2) the increasing willingness to accept shared IT assets (thanks to VMware and others), and (3) the budding availability of software that allows "cloud-like" operation of existing infrastructure, but in a whole new way.
On the positive side, an IT manager running a cloud can finally do real chargebacks to the business units that drive demand. Some do today, but on a larger-grained level... whole servers. With a private cloud, the IT manager could charge by the compute-hour, or by the megabit of bandwidth. He could charge for storage by the gigabyte, and with tiered rates for different availability/continuity guarantees. Even better, he could allow the business units to do the kind of self-service that I can do today with a credit card and The Planet. (OK, The Planet isn't a cloud provider, but I bet they're thinking about it. Plus, I like them.)
How might these "internal clouds" first be used?
Let's be real: there are precious few green-field opportunities where enterprises will simply decide to change their entire IT architecture and operations into this "internal cloud" -- i.e. implement a Utility Computing model out-of-the-gate. But there are some interesting starting points that are beginning to emerge:
- Creating a single-service utility: by this mean that an entire service tier (such as a web farm, application server farm, etc.) moves to being managed in a "cloud" infrastructure, where resources ebb-and-flow as needed by user demand.
- Power-managing servers: using utility computing IT management automation to control power states of machines that are temporarily idle, but NOT actually dynamically provisioning software onto servers. Firms are getting used to the idea of using policy-governed control to save on IT power consumption as they get comfortable with utility-computing principles. They can then selectively activate the dynamic provisioning features as they see fit.
- Using utility computing management/automation to govern virtualized environments: it's clear that once firms virtualize/consolidate, they later realize that there are more objects to manage (virtual sprawl) , rather than fewer; plus, they've created "virtual silos", distinct from the non-virtualized infrastructure they own. Firms will migrate toward an automated management approach to virtualization where -- on the fly -- applications are virtualized, hosts are created, apps are deployed/scaled, failed hosts are automatically re-created, etc. etc. Essentially a services cloud.
It is inevitable that the simplicity, economics, and scalability of externally-provided "clouds" will make their way into the enterprise. The question isn't if, but when.
|sajai krishnan 08/26/08 09:53:44 PM EDT
As for service providers - I think we will see service providers delivering the typical public service like S3, but could also provide "insourcing" services ... i.e. a service provider managing an dedicated internal cloud for Fortune100 data center in a colo model. I think AT&T's recent Synaptic Hosting is probably headed in that direction.
There are a few different ways to skin this cat in terms of implementation. The key is that the technology matures, and customers get familiar with the commodity scale-out economics, and easy management model that is at the core of this approach.

I really like your concept of an "internal cloud"! When my firm launched the web's first Database-as-a-Service offering in 1999, we had a sales option to create a special instance of our product for an enterprise that wanted the convenience of SaaS, but was concerned about privacy and security issues. Bringing in our service as an internal cloud solved these issues. Fast forward nearly 10 years, it is great to see this concept mentioned in this timely article.
We all know the latest numbers: Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from last year, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard.
