Pelosi, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, earned White House vituperation -- unusual for its intensity in even these partisan times -- after delivering what she said was a peace message last week from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"It was a nonstatement, nonsensical statement and didn't make any sense at all that she would suggest that those talks could go forward as long as the Syrians conducted themselves as a prime state sponsor of terror," Vice President Dick Cheney told radio host Rush Limbaugh. "I think it is, in fact, bad behavior on her part. I wish she hadn't done it."
The conservative Limbaugh chose not to challenge Cheney, but Pelosi (D-San Francisco), had not suggested "that talks could go forward as long as the Syrians conducted themselves as a prime state sponsor of terror."
Immediately after their meeting, Pelosi told reporters that she had conveyed to Assad that ending his support for terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah and no longer allowing insurgents to reach Iraq were necessary components in any resumption of relations.
In a statement, the bipartisan delegation of six House members that traveled to the Middle East wrote that Syria must "stop supporting terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and must end any interference in Lebanon's internal affairs. We emphasized to President Assad that peace with Israel is essential to a U.S.-Syria relationship. We conveyed to him Prime Minister's Olmert's overture for peace talks when Syria openly takes steps to stop supporting terrorism."
In fact, according to those present, the bulk of the meeting with Assad was taken up with the plight of Israeli soldiers missing in clashes with Hezbollah or from forays into Syria dating back to the 1960s.
Pelosi presented Assad with duplicate dog tags of three soldiers missing from last summer: two nabbed by Hezbollah in the July 12 cross-border raid that launched the second Lebanon war, and one captured by Hamas-affiliated gunmen in a June 25 cross-border raid.
Palestinian spokesmen said Saturday that a deal was close on the release of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the soldier captured by Hamas. It was unclear whether Pelosi's entreaties had anything to do with the deal.
Behind the heated rhetoric, however, there appeared to be a genuine breakdown in communication between Pelosi and Olmert. The question was who caused it.
Some Pelosi statements on Assad prompted an almost immediate "clarification" from Olmert's office.
"We were very pleased with the reassurances we received from the president that he was ready to resume the peace process," Pelosi had said. "He was ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel.
Also, the "meeting with the president enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks as well."
But in his meeting with Pelosi, Olmert's statement said, the prime minister "emphasized that although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, that country continues to be part of the axis of evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East. In order to conduct serious and genuine peace negotiations, Syria must cease its support of terror, cease its sponsoring of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, refrain from providing weapons to Hezbollah and bringing about the destabilizing of Lebanon, cease its support of terror in Iraq, and relinquish the strategic ties it is building with the extremist regime in Iran."
The clarification baffled the delegation, which included Rep. Tom Lantos (San Mateo), the Jewish chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles), its Government Reform Committee chairman and also Jewish; Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), an Arab American who is chairman of the House Resources Committee; Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a freshman who is the first Muslim American member of Congress; Rep. David Hobson (R-Ohio), a senior Republican; and Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), chairwoman of the House Rules Committee.
"The speaker conveyed precisely what the prime minister and the acting president asked," Lantos said. That included the traditional Israeli caveat about Syrian backing for terrorism.
Dalia Itzik, the Knesset speaker who is acting president, emphasized the plight of the captive soldiers.
Lantos suggested there was pressure from the White House.
"It's obvious the White House is desperate to find some phony criticism of the speaker's trip, even though it was a bipartisan trip," said Lantos, a Holocaust survivor who is considered the Democrat closest to the pro-Israel lobby. "I have nothing but contempt and disdain for the attempt to undermine this trip."
The White House had no comment on the allegations by Lantos that it pressured Olmert to offer a clarification.
In his interview with Limbaugh, Cheney gloated over Olmert's role.
"Prime Minister Olmert immediately made it clear that she was not authorized to make any such offer to Bashar Assad," he said. "Fortunately, I think the various parties involved recognize she doesn't speak for the United States in those circumstances, she doesn't represent the administration. The president is the one who conducts foreign policy, not the speaker of the House."
In fact, White House frustration might have to do with a foreign policy spinning out of its control.
After the White House berated Pelosi for even daring to visit Assad, it was revealed that congressional Republican delegations were in Damascus at about the same time, just as eager to relay the same message as the Pelosi team: Talking is better than not talking.
"Dialogue is not a sign of weakness," Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) told his hometown newspaper, the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal, after he returned home. "It's a sign of strength."

IRS: Chief Counsel Had No Early Knowledge of Targeting
By John D. McKinnon and Damian Paletta
The Internal Revenue Service sought to squelch the notion that its chief counsel, William Wilkins, might have learned early on of the agency's targeting of conservative groups for special scrutiny.
Similarly, former Treasury general counsel George Madison, to whom Mr. Wilkins reported when the activities occurred, told the Wall Street Journal in an interview Wednesday that he didn't learn about the matter while in office.

- Rubio and Cruz Dueled Over the VAT Tax. And the Winner Was...
The report delivered to Congress Tuesday by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration included a timeline entry saying that on Aug. 4, 2011, "Rulings and Agreements office personnel held a meeting with Chief Counsel so that everyone would have the latest information on the issue." The next entry, also for Aug. 4, shows that the counsel's office was being consulted on procedures to be used in reviews of groups' applications for tax exempt status.
The note led investigators to speculate that Mr. Wilkins – who is one of two political appointees at the agency – attended the meeting and might have then informed Treasury officials, creating a potential link to the Obama administration. Mr. Wilkins reports to the IRS commissioner but also reports to the Treasury general counsel—who was Mr. Madison in 2011–on tax policy matters.
But the IRS put out a statement Wednesday saying Mr. Wilkins "did not participate in any Aug. 4, 2011 meeting relating to tax-exempt applications," and "did not discuss [tax-exempt] applications with the Treasury general counsel."
The IRS said the Aug. 4, 2011 discussion of tax exempt social welfare groups "involved staff attorneys several layers below Wilkins."
The IRS noted that the chief counsel office has about 1,600 attorneys. It's common practice at the IRS to refer to any communication with a chief counsel's attorney as a contact with chief counsel.
Similarly, Mr. Madison said in an interview the issue never crossed his desk.
"The first time I'm hearing about this is from the press now, not the press then," said Mr. Madison, who served in the job from 2009 until 2012.
There are strict rules that bar Treasury and IRS officials from discussing applications of individual organizations.
Mr. Wilkins did not learn about specific conservative groups being singled out by name until earlier this year, the IRS said.
The inspector general report blamed agency managers for allowing IRS employees to devote inappropriate scrutiny to conservative groups' applications for tax exemption.

Can Cloud Computing Help Enterprises Weather the Economic Storm?
- May 2009
- 37 pages
- Datamonitor
The rapid pace of proliferation of the term "cloud computing" is nothing short of astonishing. However, many doubts remain regarding the exact scope and definition of the term or the long-term impact of the business model it denotes.
- Defines cloud computing, describes its model of operation and provides a classification of cloud computing services.
- Considers drivers and inhibitors of cloud computing adoption in the context of the current global recession.
- Outlines the emerging competitive landscape for cloud computing services and related technologies.
- Recommends the stance that enterprises, technology vendors and service providers should adopt regarding cloud computing.
Highlights of this title
In merely 18 months the neologism "cloud computing" has gone from obscurity to pervasiveness. Although elusive to define, the emerging paradigm is clearly capturing the imagination of the IT market. It is believed that the level of interest in the alternative models of IT consumption is driven by the ongoing commoditization of IT technology.
Datamonitor defines cloud computing as an IT consumption pattern that relies on abstracted resources delivered as utility services. Such approach to IT generation, delivery and deployment allows for a more efficient way to carry out IT tasks due to the inherent benefits of services over products.
While the current global recession will accelerate take-up of cloud computing, the nature of computing resources and a slew of migration challenges mean that the adoption will not be universal. Nevertheless, it remains clear to Datamonitor that the cloud computing model will play an increasingly important role in the future.
Key reasons to purchase this title
- Gain a clear, detailed and comprehensive understanding of the emerging cloud computing paradigm.
- Identify dominant market trends in order to evaluate opportunities created by the shift to cloud computing.
- Optimise your cloud computing strategy to capitalize on the short, medium and long-term opportunities cloud computing will create.
Introduction to Cloud Computing
The term cloud computing is quickly becoming ubiquitous
Cloud computing is a new pattern of IT consumption but it is proving elusive to define
Cloud computing overlaps with many adjacent categories, rendering the definition difficult
Cloud computing: an IT consumption pattern based on the delivery of commoditized resources as a service
IT commoditization has occurred through the history of computing
Cloud computing may resemble the mainframe era, but it is a fundamentally different phenomenon
Cloud computing marks the culmination of the commoditization process
Outsourcing, hosting and ASP services persist with the management of identifiable resources
Electricity provides the most powerful analogy with cloud computing
Both electricity and IT are enabling technologies that went from strategic to commodity assets
Unlike electricity, computing is a far more complex phenomenon and far less fungible resource
The cloud computing taxonomy
Software-Platform-Infrastructure (SPI) model offers the basic cloud computing classification
Further refinement of the SPI model should not rely on the proliferation of as a Service neologisms
Detailed taxonomy schemas focus on segmenting the infrastructure layer
The fabric/instance spectrum captures variations in the granularity of computing services provision
Do private clouds exist?
Ownership should not be the central tenet of cloud computing
Technologies enabling local or hybrid cloud infrastructures are readily available
Economies of scale dictates that the public/private gap will matter, but bridging the divide will be possible
Benefits of cloud computing
The benefits of cloud computing are the benefits of services over products
Cloud computing allows enterprises to focus on their core business processes
Cloud computing closes the gap between IT capacity and IT demand
Elasticity is not built into the cloud computing model but ease of provisioning mitigates this effect
Variable costs and usage-based models are the principal benefits of cloud computing pricing
Capex/opex accounting strategies do not describe the full range of cloud computing pricing models
Cloud computing is associated with a broad range of pricing models based on variable cost
Cloud computing could act as a deflationary force in the enterprise technology IT market
The combination of elasticity and utility pricing engenders IT new economics
Inhibitors to cloud computing adoption
Trust and migration to an unfamiliar model are the primary inhibitors to cloud computing
The substitution of products with external services renders the issue of trust extremely acute
The question of trust in cloud service providers also relates to the emotional issue of lock-in
Until legal implications are better understood trust issues will continue to be raised
Each cloud service model is associated with a specific set of trust challenges
Cloud service adoption and management challenges are currently potent inhibitors
Matching workloads with the optimal mode of IT delivery may be difficult
The business case for cloud computing is often compelling, but may be hard to formulate with precision
Enterprises procurement and spend management practices will have to evolve to accommodate the cloud
The migration of business processes to the cloud is not frictionless
Cloud services need to remain dynamic without disrupting existing enterprise IT architectures
Conclusion: benefits and inhibitors of the cloud computing model
Competitive Landscape
The roll-out of cloud infrastructures is an opportunity for commodity hardware vendors
Migration into the cloud will boost thin clients, netbooks and handhelds
Cloud infrastructure services
Online retailer Amazon.com has emerged as the early leader in infrastructure provision
GoGrid leads the wave of hosting providers offering instance-based cloud computing infrastructure
Others could offer cloud infrastructure services, but may prefer to compete in software or platform layers
Infrastructure management platforms have emerged as the critical part of the cloud infrastructure stack
Cloud platform competitive landscape is particularly vibrant
Proprietary development platforms backed by SaaS vendors are proving popular with ISVs and users
Platforms supporting generic development frameworks may lend more control to developers
A long tail of standalone platforms relies on intuitive proprietary development and execution environments
SaaS vendors now feature in virtually every segment of the enterprise application market
Datamonitor Opinion
Those that manage to harness the cloud computing model stand to benefit
Cloud computing is here to stay, albeit not as the sole model of IT consumption
The Global Recession will accelerate the adoption of cloud computing
An elastic model that relies on flexible, usage-based pricing will be particularly attractive in the downturn
Unchecked proliferation and inadequate management of cloud computing services can fuel the backlash
Successful vendors will capitalize on short-term opportunities and prepare for long-term implications
Vendors may not have to venture into cloud services, but strategic adjustments will be necessary

Tracking the Storm: Analysis
-- The Carolina Hurricanes came out flat in a Sunday matinee against the Phoenix Coyotes, and they never really recovered from there. The Coyotes took a 5-3 decision after a two-goal third period. Eric Staal, Riley Nash and Jeff Skinner found the back of the net for the Hurricanes, but it wasn't enough. "I'm not very happy at all. A few guys came ready to play and battle, but we had too many passengers tonight," head coach Kirk Muller said. "We had some of top guys that just didn't bring their 'A' game today."
-- Overshadowing the loss of two points is the loss of goaltender Anton Khudobin. He skated out to the far face-off dot to play the puck, slipping in the process. He had to be helped off the ice at the subsequent whistle after stopping 18 of 20 shots. "It didn't look good, obviously, the way he went off the ice," Muller said. Khudobin, who started his third game in net this afternoon, will be further evaluated with an MRI on Monday.
-- A turning point in the game, perhaps, was the missed opportunity of a five-on-three advantage for the Canes that lasted 1:56. A few chances aside, the man advantage didn't do much to create momentum. Phoenix scored shortly after. "We don't score on the five-on-three, and it just dropped the whole life of our team," Muller said.
-- That said, Skinner notched a power-play tally just about three minutes after Phoenix grabbed a 3-2 lead. That evened it up and set the table for the third period. "It was a matter of going out and having a good third, and we just didn't put the work into it today," Muller said.
-- With his second goal of the season, Skinner leads the team with seven points (2g, 5a) in six games. Nathan Gerbe recorded an assist on the goal, his second of the season, which extended his point streak to a career-high four games.
-- The third period was an interesting one, to say the least. Eight penalties were whistled in the final period, including a number of ticky-tacky stick infractions and embellishment calls. "It was a slow, choppy game. There wasn't a whole lot of flow and a lot of penalties. It was tough to get just a few shifts together to get some momentum going," Jordan Staal said. "It was just one of those games that we couldn't find our mojo."
-- Skinner on the game's flow: "It's choppy and there's no flow for them, either," he said. "We've got to be a little more desperate to get the win."
-- Whistles and choppy play aside, Muller simply wasn't impressed with his team's effort. "It's what it is. You've got to find a way to get it done. Every game brings different tests and challenges," he said. "I just didn't like our compete level and life today. It wasn't there like the other games. Whistles or not, you've got to create that intensity."
Recap (NHL.com)
RALEIGH, N.C. - Phoenix Coyotes forward Rob Klinkhammer's second goal of the game early in the third period broke open a tie game, and the Coyotes earned a 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon at PNC Arena.
The win marked the third in a row for Phoenix, which completed a five-game road trip. Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith stopped 31 shots for his third win of the season.
Hurricanes starting goalie Anton Khudobin left the game in the middle of the second period with a lower-body injury.
With the score tied 3-3 in the first minute of the third, Klinkhammer gathered the puck on the boards in his own end, raced up the right side and beat Ward to the short side, a goal that stood up as the game winner.
Shane Doan added a power-play goal, giving him a two-point game after being held off the score sheet in his previous five.
With the score tied 1-1 entering the second period, the Hurricanes took the lead on Riley Nash's tip of a Ryan Murphy shot from the point. The Coyotes answered when Klinkhammer whacked away at a loose puck in the crease until finally sliding it under Khudobin to tie the game at two.
Moments later, Khudobin left the game after taking an awkward spill. He came out to play a dump-in in the top of the left circle, but fell to his knees. After making his way back to the crease, he signaled the bench for help, needing assistance to skate off the ice on one leg. He stopped 18 of 20 Phoenix shots before being replaced by Cam Ward.
The Coyotes found themselves in a tough spot just two minutes later, needing to kill 1:56 of a Carolina two-man advantage. But Phoenix was up to the task, killing the penalty with key shot blocks.
Phoenix took a 3-2 lead at the 15:58 mark of the period when Lauri Korpikoski riffled a one-timer past Ward on a feed from Mike Ribeiro. The Hurricanes then drew even on the power play when Jeff Skinner roofed a shot from the right of the net to beat Smith.
Phoenix forward Mikel Boedker started the scoring at 4:59 of the first with a power-play goal. Derek Morris' blast was stopped by Khudobin, but Boedker backhanded the rebound for his second goal of the season. The Hurricanes tied the game 10 minutes later on Eric Staal's first of the year. A Coyotes' clearing attempt took a wild bounce off the glass and went to Staal in the slot, where he sent a backhand inside the far post.
The first period didn't have much flow, the result of each team being whistled for three minor penalties. The Coyotes carried play early in the period, out-shooting the Hurricanes 8-1 in the first 12 minutes. The Hurricanes found their stride late in the period, taking an 11-9 lead in shots.
The two teams combined for 18 minor penalties, 11 for the Coyotes and seven for the Hurricanes.
Hurricanes forward Tuomo Ruutu was activated for the game after missing the first five games of the season with a lower-body injury.

We've seen it all before, right? High-end designer joins forces with mid-priced mass merchandiser to bring us their version of high-meets-low fashion at affordable prices. Everyone from veteran designer Karl Lagerfeld to shoe maven Jimmy Choo to current design sensation Jason Wu has thrown their hat into the designer "collabo" ring. The results have been mixed. While H&M's early collaborations with both Karl Lagerfeld and Jimmy Choo were met with high fanfare and sold out collections; its recent efforts with both Marni and Maison Martin Margiela barely generated a significant buzz. Heck, for many who aren't among the fashion devoted , Margiela's name recognition is derived from a Kanye West rap. Even fashion darling Jason Wu isn't exempt from scrutiny. While his collection with Target was highly anticipated, the final collection left some underwhelmed in terms of appeal and quality.
Now high-end designer Duro Oluwu enters the fray as he debuts his limited edition collection for JCPenney. But he is up to the challenge? The answer is YES. The Nigerian born, London-based designer brings one of the most aesthetically pleasing collaboration collections I've seen in some time. With bold colors and lively prints, Oluwu's JCPenney collection stays true to the essence of his much-touted designer pieces. Oluwu for JCPenney is fun, wearable and affordable.
The price range for the collection is from $10 to $100 dollars and includes handbags, shoes, clothes accessories and home décor. The Duro Oluwu collection is in stores and online through May 2013.

What say you? What do you think about the Duro Oluwu for JCPenney collection?

2013 begins with decline in gross mortgage lending
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Finance
Buyers are 'tempted back' into the property market
Gross mortgage lending declined by nine percent in January, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders' latest estimates.
The CML has calculated that borrowing dropped to £10.4bn in January, down from December's gross lending figure of £11.4bn.
The figure also represented a three percent drop on January 2012's total of £10.7bn.
CML market and data analyst Caroline Purdey said: "Housing sentiment remains positive, despite ongoing economic pressures. A worsening in the outlook for inflation presents a greater headwind, but we still expect the funding for lending scheme to lift activity over coming months.
"House purchase activity was robust into the start of 2013, on the back of better mortgage availability and pricing, and we share the Bank of England's confidence that this will continue over the coming months."
Martin Bellinger, executive director of Essential Living, added: "It's further proof of the pressure on first time buyers that makes the case for building rental homes event greater. What consumers need is professionally managed rental and councils could forge long term income streams by finding innovative ways to bring land to the market. Our institutional backers are committed to long term ownership of homes and for policy makers keen to enhance public realm and improve amenities, this is a win-win."
Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said: "While the general mood regarding the housing market has been one of increased confidence as Funding for Lending pushes down borrowing rates, the fall in gross mortgage lending in January shows we are not out of the woods just yet. December was a strong month for lending volumes but they took a hit last month as the bad weather had an impact.
"However, the outlook is still positive, despite the persistence of wider economic pressures. The FLS is resulting in lower mortgage rates across the loan-to-value bands, giving us some of the cheapest mortgage rates ever seen. This is increasingly important because of the other issues in the economy and will be essential if housing purchase activity is to remain robust this year, as we expect it to.
"Buy-to-let continues its recovery with mortgage rates falling, particularly on fixed-rate deals. As many first-time buyers struggle to get on the housing ladder, they are forced to rent for longer, persuading investors that the buy-to-let market presents the potential of better returns than cash or equities.
"As the cost of borrowing falls across the market, with rates on higher LTVs looking increasingly attractive, first-time buyers are able to put down more modest deposits. This is helping boost their numbers, with 2012 seeing the largest number of first-time buyers in five years. The growth in their number is significant for the health of the housing market and will fuel further growth.
"Most importantly for a market that rests on confidence, optimism in the housing market continues, despite the blip in January figures. The mortgage market is still constrained when you compare it with what it was at the height of the housing boom but it is showing some signs of improvement."

Customer Engineering Conference 2005
By Scottdickson-Oracle on Feb 19, 2005
Sun's annual CEC conference is coming up next weekend. A couple thousand Sun engineers from around the world will get together in San Francisco for this event. This is the main event for Sun engineers from the field to share what we are doing, what we have learned, what works well, neat tricks of the trade, etc. Engineers who work in service, in sales, and in delivery all present at the CEC. A number of us will be blogging from the CEC about the papers we see, what we learn, etc. I'll try to give an account of all I see. I hope that Clive King and Jon Haslam are presenting on DTrace again. They were hands down the best talk I saw last year. These guys get nearly as excited about DTrace as Bryan does! I'll be presenting on \*BART, the Basic Audit Reporting Tool\*. BART allows you to detect changes in groups of files and filesystems over time. One obvious (and intended) use is to alert the administrator to any unintended changes to key files, whether malicious or not. So, watch this space for new reports coming from the conference.

The member magazine of the Institute of Industrial and Engineers
The process industries are those industries where the primary production processes are either continuous, or occur on a batch of materials that is indistinguishable. For example, a food processing company making sauce may make the sauce in a continuous, uninterrupted flow from receipt of ingredients through packaging. Or batches may be produced depending on the cook kettle sizes but immediately combined and re-routed. In either case, there is no concept of a unit of sauce while it is being processed. Examples of the process industries include food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, ceramics, base metals, coal, plastics, rubber, textiles, tobacco, wood and wood products, paper and paper products, etc.
For more on the role of industrial engineering in process industries, read "Making Cereal Not Cars," a primer on process industries. This article was published in the December 2008 issue of Industrial Engineer magazine and is available only to IISE members. If you are not a member, join IISE for access to this article as well as additional member-only benefits.
Applying industrial engineering tools in the process industries can vary greatly from applying these same tools in discrete parts manufacturing. The Process Industries Division is a forum for the exchange of ideas in theory and practice of industrial engineering techniques applied to process industries; facilitating greater interactions among industry and academic professionals by organizing.

Pete King, past president of the IISE Process Industries Division had his third book published in May 2015. The book is titled, Value Stream Mapping for the Process Industries, published by CRC Press.
Publishers summary of the book: "So far, lean initiatives in the process industry were handicapped by the fact that all good books on Value Stream Mapping refer to discrete manufacturing. Food, pharma and chemical processes are by their nature different and need an adapted approach. Building on Pete King's deep hands-on experience, this book provides the process industry with a state of the art toolkit to eliminate waste and reach breakthrough performance. Using a process operation as an example, it describes how to create the VSM, how to analyze it to find wastes and barriers to smooth flow, and how to use future state VSMs to define a roadmap for a complete lean transformation."
Pete's other books are The Product Wheel Handbook – Creating Balanced Flow in Multi-Product Process Operations and Lean for the Process Industries: Dealing with Complexity.
