From conferences to symposiums, the sport management and physical education majors of Lees-McRae College have had an exciting and busy semester.
In October two Lees-McRae students were able to attend the 6th Annual Student Leadership Retreat in Weddington, North Carolina, hosted by the NCAAHPERD (North Carolina Alliance for Athletics, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance).
Lexi King, a sport management major and member of the women's lacrosse team, and Bradley Tanis, a physical education major and member of the men's track and field team, represented Lees-McRae at the conference alongside students from seventeen other colleges and universities.
This retreat allows each participating college to send two students free of charge. This includes lodging, meals, and a ropes course! The retreat stresses the importance of teamwork and networking with professionals and peers. Upon completion, the students are given free membership in NCAAHPERD.
Soon after the retreat, nineteen Lees-McRae students traveled to Winston-Salem for the NCAAHPERD Annual State Convention held on November 12.
The group consisted mainly of sport management or physical education majors, but was also joined by students considering either major. The convention provided excellent professional development sessions and many opportunities for networking. The convention also included many exhibitors with the latest sports and teaching equipment and graduate school representatives.
Rounding out a wonderful semester, senior sport management major Scott Jackson presented his senior research project at the 5th annual State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) held the University of North Carolina at Wilmington November 21. Jackson was in the company of students from sixteen other colleges and universities across the state.
Jackson's project focused on the lack of scientific research on the subject of bicycle fitting. The objective of his study was to determine the validity of bicycle fit recommendations from industry experts against the actual fits of twenty men and women collegiate cyclists on a nationally ranked collegiate cycling team (Lees-McRae, of course).
Jackson put each of the twenty participants through a series of tests, which involved filming the subject riding a bike, analysis of that data using Pro Trainer Software, and the use of anatomical landmarks as reference points for computer motion analysis.
The preliminary results of the study revealed a significant deviance from the industry standards. The results of this study are important for any cyclist, recreational or professional, because proper bike fit is essential to maximize efficiency and minimize injury.
The Sports Management and Physical Education majors of Lees-McRae College have had a wonderful semester of educational opportunities both inside the classroom and inside the conference room.

Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre
Kingston spent five years running the YouthAware TIE touring division of the New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco. The YouthAware program reaches approximately 25,000 students throughout Northern California each year with programs that address such controversial issues as homophobia, HIV infection, and substance abuse. She subsequently held the position of Director of Education at Hartford Stage.
Kingston currently reads script submissions for the Summer Play Festival in New York and Marin Theatre Company in California and teaches introduction to theater and play analysis at the University of Massachusetts.
This seminar class will explore a range of plays written for children (concentrating on 4th-7th grade). We will critically analyze plays and consider trends in writing. Included will be plays that have been adapted from other forms and works that are intended to open dialogue about social issues (Theatre-In-Education). In addition to reading plays we will research TYA companies around the world, go on a field trip to see a play for children and speak to playwrights and Artistic Directors of children's theatre companies about their work. Students will work alongside a group of child consultants (local 4th-6th graders). Emphasis will be placed on multicultural perspectives, social issues addressed within TYA and challenges/issues faced in the professional realm of TYA.
This course will explore the creation and ethics of documentary drama. Concentrating on contemporary American repertory, students will read and analyze the works of Peter Weiss, Anna Deavere Smith, Eve Ensler, Ping Chong and The Tectonic Theater Project amongst others. Students will also have the opportunity to research, edit and perform oral histories and historical documents, learning first hand the responsibilities of representing a "real" story on stage.
This course will explore the possibilities and purposes for writing about live performance. Students will read different styles of criticism and arguments about the critic's role in contemporary theatre. At the heart of the course is attendance at six live performances. Upon seeing the performances, students will be expected to write reviews and often have opportunities to speak to and interview the artists involved. Students should expect to be confronted with a wide variety of performance genres which will enable them to broaden their artistic vocabulary, sharpen their written voice and engage with the theatrical community within the five colleges and beyond.
This course will take a close look at plays written by American women over the last century, exploring works by playwrights such as Sophie Treadwell, Lillian Hellman, Gertrude Stein, Lorraine Hansberry, Ntozake Shange, Paula Vogel, Suzan-Lori Parks, and Naomi Wallace. Each week will be devoted to a different playwright aiming to deepen students' understanding of Twentieth Century theatre, to stretch boundaries of genre, feminism and form and to interrogate our notions of "women's writing" as well as of an "American". Students will both examine how the plays speak to the particular time and society in which they were written, and the creative potential of producing them today.
What is dramaturgy? In answering this question, students will learn how to analyze and research play texts for production, evaluate new scripts, write program notes and take a critical look at a variety of different models of post-performances dialogue. Practical dramaturgy is a collaborative art that allows us to locate the story we are telling on stage not just through the script, but through casting decisions, design components and communication with audiences. Students should have completed at least one (preferably more)college-level theatre class.

The Monthly GNU Column
This column looks into projects and current affairs in the world of free software. This month we focus on better security with Firestarter, a tool that helps you set up a firewall. We also look at a distributed computing project for animation or visualization.
Firewalls are more important now than ever, so a free tool that helps users manage their firewalls is always welcome. Firewalls A firewall operates at the network connection level, analyzing, monitoring, and controlling the traffic that enters or leaves a computer. On Linux with kernel 2.4 or later, this is the domain of iptables. Network traffic is represented by IP data packets, and the kernel specifies what should happen to specific types of packets. Firewalls of this type are known as packet filters.

Immigration reform must start with border enforcement
As a veteran border patrol officer, I can say without any reservations that our immigration system is completely dysfunctional. Immigrants permitted to come to the United States have a cumbersome and expensive time doing so. Those who aren't permitted to enter waltz across the border by the tens of thousands, and those not allowed to remain here elude deportations, even after committing serious crimes against our citizens.

Rubbish and recycling
From October 2016, your bins will move from being collected on a two-weekly to a three-weekly cycle.
This means your grey bins will be collected one week, your blue bins the next and your brown bins the following.
We will still empty your food and garden bins every week.
Your collection day will stay the same (e.g. if your bins are currently emptied on a Monday this will not change) with one rubbish or recycling bin emptied each week.

Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City are among Hawaii's most popular attractions, proving that there is so much more to the islands than pristine beaches, world-class surfing, and stunning wildlife (although aren't those reason enough for a visit?) The Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour is a great opportunity to get in touch with the history of the area while also learning about the tragic conflict that devastated the island of Oahu and changed the course of history forever through its impact on the events of World War II. This comprehensive tour is one of Oahu's most popular sightseeing experiences and should not be missed. The tour lasts between seven and eight hours, departing in the morning and returning in the early afternoon, so plan to spend the entire day with your tour guide, and perhaps opt to use the remainder of your afternoon reflecting upon the day's sights, and lounging on the beach in Waikiki, where the tour ends.
The Pearl Harbor Tour is fully narrated, and is a great option for first-time visitors to Honolulu to get oriented to the city and get a taste of many of the attractions you can explore later in more depth. Here's a look at the tour highlights:
Your tour guide will point out the history and intricacies of Oahu along this well-plotted route, ensuring your tour is both informative, entertaining, and showcases the beautiful scenery of the island. Your trip to the Pearl Harbor memorials will leave you with a somber understanding of the importance of December 7th, 1941 in the developments of World War II, and the impact that day had on millions of people worldwide. This is a first-rate tour and should be a "must" on any travelers' itinerary when visiting the beautiful state of Hawaii.

Comments about Smart Destinations Pearl Harbor Historical-City Tour:
This was truly a BUS tour as the only stop was the Arizona Memorial, but was pleased that our price included the tour of the Memorial. We had tried to get tickets for just the Memorial, but could not on our own, so was pleased this was included. But there were no other stops throughout the whole tour -- just driving.

This was an ACH (Automatic Clearing House) transaction, and my bank, RBS Citizens Bank, reports that this was neither a debit card nor a check, but solely an electronic transfer. Though the dollar value isn't great, this is scary because there's no "check & balance" system in place for ACH transactions.
For example, the last digit of every credit/debit card is a "check-sum" that is calculated from all of the preceding digits of your real card number. If a credit card number is entered (manually) wrong, there is a 9-out-of-10 chance that it will fail the check-sum test. However, there isn't any check-sum for ACH transactions. [continued below]....
Based on the number of reports regarding Trilegiant, it appears that they are either back in the business of ripping people off, or have dodged every complaint thus far and still up to their same tactics.
In my case, their fraudulent withdrawal drove my account negative, which forced an "Insufficient Funds Fee". I'm fighting it with the bank and have to wait several days for the result. Meanwhile, I can't pay my cable bill because HealthSaver's charge plus the overdraft fee doesn't leave enough in the account.
As stated by someone else, *fight this* with your bank, and don't accept any "Stop Payment" fees or such; the bank is not entitled to charge you for this as this is not a check you've written. You must complain, and then complain some more.

Chic ways to rock a glitter manicure
You might think that once you reach a certain age, some beauty trends are best left untested. This may be true in a few instances but it's definitely not the case when it comes to rocking a glitter manicure. No matter your style or your age, a shimmery mani is fun and pretty. Here are a few ways you can make sure yours is glamorous, according to Glamour Magazine's beauty blog.
1. Use sparkles sparingly. Whether it's just at the base of your nails or on the tips, a little glitter over a nude polish can go long way. Try Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers in Naked.
2. Apply gold glitter over taupe polish. Look for a glitter bottle that has both chunky and fine specks for an intriguing effect. It'll be like wearing a gorgeous gold ring!
3. Do a glitzy French manicure. Instead of white tips, use white glitter or another color that suits your mood. Don't forget to top it off with Lippmann Collection – On A Clear Day Top Coat to seal the sparkles and make it last.
See? Sparkly manicures can be chic and appropriate as long as you use muted colors and a subdued style.

Welcome to this special edition of the Paperless Airplane marking May – not only across the United States but here in Montgomery County -- as "Older Americans Month." The theme this year is "Older Americans: Connecting the Community," paying homage to the many ways in which seniors bring inspiration and continuity to the fabric of Montgomery County. We are a community of more than 170,000 residents aged 60 and above, myself included!
Later this month, I will officially proclaim May as Older Americans Month, and we have several special activities planned this month to commemorate and recognize our fellow residents.
I have long realized the value that older residents bring to their communities. That is why, in November 2008, I convened a Senior Summit, bringing together nearly 200 interested residents, County government staff and other professionals working with seniors. The Summit focused our efforts on planning for the future, when we'll see a dramatic increase in the number of seniors who call Montgomery County home. Several subcommittees have been working since then to bring attention to issues affecting seniors and their families.
Please read on to learn more about programs and services we offer to seniors and their families here in Montgomery County.

Solutions for Chapter 13
Torque-To-Yield bolts are used to clamp cylinder head. The Torque-To-Yield bolts when tightened tend to yield which increases the clamping force. They are deformed after tightening, so it cannot be used again.
The head bolt should be covered by a non-hardening sealer like thread tape seal before installing it in the coolant passage holes. It prevents the threads corrosion free.
So, technician A is wrong and technician B is correct.
Therefore, the correct option is- Technician B.

Great fit. Good feel.
Comments about Mens R-Gear Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Top:
This is the third shirt I've purchased and it is great. The fit is comfortable and great for cross training and running. The size runs true so there isn't a need to size up unless you prefer a larger or baggy fit.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens R-Gear Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Top:
I run in these shirts all the time. Very breathable and light weight, and cut very well for the body. Not too tight like a compression shirt, but performance cut to eliminate needless buffering in the elements and unnecessary weight. I am 5'9'' 150lb and do 80-100 mi/mth the small fits me perfectly. I returned a medium because it was too loose and too long. I will buy a few extra just to wear casually during the summer. They are that comfortable.
Comments about Mens R-Gear Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Top:
I've bought a number of these shirts over the years, mostly sleeveless. This is a new cut. The large is at least 3 inches longer than my RRS Sleeveless shirts (large also). Too long. It also feels odd on the shoulders as the new seams are placed differently.
Comments about Mens R-Gear Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Top:
Light, fits one size small, warm enough and cool enough, great colors

Exclusive: New Time Is A Thief Vid
The Irish rock outfit have given us their new video to share...
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 03 Dec 2012
'Good Night Blood Sucker' is the brand new single from Irish rockers Time Is A Thief. The new track, a fan favourite during the last few months of touring, was recorded with long-time producer and collaborator, Ciaran O Shea and does not feature on their debut album, We're Not Strangers, released in April of this year.
The track will be released as a digital download only, and will be available on iTunes from Friday, December 7.
Hot Press are exclusively hosting the video here now. Check it out below. It's got a kind of spooky Blair Witch Project vibe to it, not your usual seasonal offering. But then again we wouldn't expect anything less from the lads.
The band will round out 2012 with a few home town shows including support slot with The Minutes in the Pavillion, Cork on the 21st December.

Quantum-Riverbed bout ends with $11M handshake
Backup vendor Quantum and WAN optimization specialist Riverbed Technology dropped their respective data deduplication patent lawsuits against each other this week, with Riverbed agreeing to pay Quantum $11 million. Both sides dropped all claims and agreed not to file more data deduplication patent suits against the other.
The legal scuffle began in October when Quantum charged Riverbed with infringing on a dedupe patent granted to Rocksoft in 1999 and later acquired by Quantum through an acquisition. Riverbed countered in November with its own suit, charging that Quantum's dedupe products infringe on a Riverbed patent.
From here, the settlement looks like a draw. Quantum got paid, but didn't get Riverbed to stop using the technology in its WAN appliances as it tried to do in its suit. Such a judgment would have cost Riverbed at lot more than $11 million.
Unitrends unites backup, DR management
SMB backup and DR vendor Unitrends has released version 4.0 of its RapidRecovery management software for its Data Protection Unit disk-to-disk backup hardware. The new version completes a yearlong effort from Unitrends to bring together what were once separate GUIs for managing backup and offsite vaulting using the DPU devices.
A year ago, the company removed the command line interface, which CEO Duncan MacPherson described as "a late '90s level GUI that looked old and slow." At that time, Unitrends gave backup and configuration management interfaces a facelift. The current release pulls in offsite vaulting and data recovery. Other new features include the ability to create customized reports based on the GUI, test DR plans, recover single files from a secondary site, and support for new operating systems including Novell Netware. MacPherson said Windows 2008 will be supported by the end of the year.
Unitrends' goal is to package all data protection processes and hardware into one product. Combining operational backup and disaster recovery practices also seems to be an emerging trend. This is also being done through backup service providers whose backups by definition are offsite, and who are beginning to offer more affordable system state recovery of hosts using virtual servers. Stay tuned to the SearchDataBackup.com and SearchDisasterRecovery.com sites for more on this.
Let's manage data, not just storage
(Ed. Note: this guest blog comes from Siemens Medical Solutions storage administrator Jim Hood in response to the editorial in the July Storage magazine, Dedupe and virtualization don't solve the real problem).
I was happy to see that someone finally acknowledged the root of some of the evils in the storage business. Your editorial, "Dedupe and virtualization don't solve the real problem," spoke to the heart of the matter: "The math is easy: More servers mean more apps, and more apps mean more data." It cannot be spoken any clearer than that. I have been involved with storage all of my 27 years in IT from the early '80's until now spanning mainframe and open systems and have seen the amount of data expand exponentially. I wish my retirement fund had the same growth curve.
In our business, we continue to satisfy our hosted mainframe customers' needs with relatively small amounts of data (our bread-and-butter apps in zOS use customized VSAM [Virtual storage access method] files hardly over the "4-gig limit" to provide databases for hospital clinical applications) while similar applications on Windows stretches the imagination – mine at least. As someone who has lived through this transformation and now has to support the backup processes for our open system business, the amount of data we handle makes my head spin.
It isn't unusual for us to process 25 TB of backup data every day (because we use Tivoli Storage Manager, this consists of only new or changed files). We have accumulated over 2 PB of capacity in our backup inventory. I don't see it getting any less even though we have an active relationship with users, and encourage them to look at what they backup and how long they retain the backup data. The volume just keeps growing.
With all the technology at our disposal, the industry does not seem to want to address your basic math problem. I believe we live in an age where both technology and its pricing have brought us to a point where "creating data is cheap" — so cheap that there is no turning back. We seem to have lost the thought processes associated with data management: how many files, file size, other data spawned from these files, where does the data reside, what data should be backed up, etc.
I'm not sure, going forward, how to make it appear as though storage costs are kept relatively level while at the same time incurring new costs for hardware, software and people to manage this growth. In our environment we pass on expenses by using a chargeback system, but pressure from the user base (application development) to reduce their costs from one fiscal year to the next usually translates to lower chargeback pricing while the real problem — too much data — persists. We can try to dedupe and virtualize our way out of, this but somebody will have to pay for it.
To really address this problem will require, as you stated, "an awful lot of manual work," but it will be difficult for many organizations to cough up the resource costs to do so. Let's face it, that grunt work doesn't generate any new revenue through new products. So again, it becomes a storage management issue rather than a data management solution.
My view is this: Twenty years ago we had a modest home with a one-car garage (mainframe) to keep all our stuff in. In the last decade we decided we needed more stuff — newer stuff — and moved to a larger house with a two-, heck, three-car garage (Windows). The reality of the economy and housing market is reshaping the world of real estate. I'm not sure what kind of "housing crunch" will be necessary to have us take a different look at how we create data. Getting people to do that would be a good first step in the right direction.
Finally, on a more humorous note, I think one of the problems is in how we refer to amounts of data. One TB is no big deal, right? How do I sell my problem to those who write the checks when I speak in terms of one or two of something? "So, Jim, you say you can't manage your 2 PB easily!" or "What is so hard about managing your growth from 1 PB to 2 PB, come on, you only grew by one!" It is all about perception these days and by truncating real capacities, we diminish the true state of affairs. Sometimes I try to communicate the reality by simply changing the language: 2,000 TB makes a larger impact than 2 PB. Maybe we all need to begin speaking in larger quantities than single digits

Financial forecast calls for gloom
Until now, the storage industry has held up well this year in the face of any economic slowdowns – even those affecting the financial services sector.
But with the economy's problems taking center stage in the U.S. this week, financial analysts dusted off their crystal balls and saw a gloomy future for storage vendors.There were a slew of stock downgrades and even more earnings reduction forecasts for storage and the IT industry in general this week. And almost every one was attributed to the general economy rather than specific company problems. Whether Wall Street or Main Street gets the worst of the fallout, the consensus is less money will be left to spend on technology.
As RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Curlin put it in a research note this week:
" … our deceleration stance with respect to U.S. IT spending is evolving to a contraction stance. The credit markets continue to tighten and the flow of credit to consumers and corporations is contracting. The metrics we track to ascertain consumer and corporate buying power are also contracting. In concert, degrading employment and capital spending metrics do not bode well for IT spending over the next 12 months."
Curlin added his research shows "a neutral tone" regarding business this quarter, "but greater concern about the forward outlook. Naturally, this concern has risen after the collapse of Lehman and the various aftershocks in the financial system. Thus far, enterprise storage demand is steady, whereas we sense server demand has waned in recent weeks."
Curlin downgraded the stock ratings of QLogic, Xyratex, Voltaire, and VMware, and slashed 2009 earnings estimates and price targets of EMC, Brocade, NetApp, Seagate, CommVault, 3PAR, and Compellent. In each case, he cited global IT spending slowdowns.
In a note to his clients this week, Aaron Rakers of Wachovia reported that around 18 percent to 20 percent of enterprise storage revenue comes from the financial services industry. He estimates systems vendors EMC and Hitachi Data Systems and switch vendor Brocade generate around 20 percent of their revenue from financial services, with HBA vendor Emulex likely higher.
So it follows that serious trouble in the financial services industry threatens a good chunk of storage sales.
Also this week:
- Pacific Crest's Brent Bracelin cited a forecasted slowdown in data center-related spending while cutting stock ratings for Brocade, Double-Take, CommVault, and QLogic and cut price targets or estimates on EMC, NetApp, 3PAR, HP, Data Domain, Emulex, and Mellanox.
- Morgan Stanley lowered estimates on PC hardware stocks because of decreased global demand, and dropped stock price targets for EMC, IBM, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Cisco among others.
Ok, it wasn't all bad news. Caylon Securities upgraded data deduplication specialist Data Domain's stock based on solid results this quarter. It figures the one storage technology that's growing these days is one that's responsible for bringing about reduction.
Staples to rebrand Mozy online backup service, EMC drops Fortress name
Office supplies giant Staples is adding a rebranded version of EMC's Mozy online backup service to its Thrive online backup services, which already include a rebranded version of i365's EVault for servers. The first release of Staples' repackaging of Mozy will be targeted at laptop backup and desktop backup. Jim Lippie, president of Staples network services, says the Mozy Enterprise server edition will be added down the road.
In addition to office supplies and EVault, Staples also offers reactive online services for small business IT customers for breakfix and network support through a subsidiary called EZMobileTech. However, this is Staples' first fully managed IT service , and it will use EMC's Level 4 data center in New England (originally launched as Fortress) to store the data.
Staples was mum on exactly what customizations they've made to the Mozy platform. Mozy COO Mozy Vance Checketts also offered no specifics, but said customization options for data security and interface features are built in to the software for service provider partners like Staples so that modifications to the core product aren't needed.
In the meantime, Checketts said, EMC is dropping the Fortress name and will refer to the whole infrastructure as Mozy for now. "We're very carefully looking at what to call the next generation of technologies we're pulling together – stay tuned for a new name," he said.
My guess? VMware.
Last stand for NetApp's DataFort?
In his latest blog, NetApp chief marketing officer Jay Kidd waxes enthusiastic about Brocade's new encryption devices:
Brocade has new blindingly fast Fibre Channel switches and director blades that integrate almost 100 GB/s [actually 96 GB/s] of encrypting bandwidth.
Kidd is a former Brocade guy, and maybe he's happy for his old colleagues. But it's more likely that he sees the encryption switch and blade as a boon for his current company. He goes on to say: "NetApp will resell the Brocade products as our next generation FC DataFort."
DataFort is the encryption device platform that NetApp acquired when it bought Decru for $272 million in 2005. Brocade's devices support NetApp key management, and Brocade licensed its encryption technology to NetApp to ensure compatibility between its devices and the DataFort platform. That's why the headline on Kidd's blog reads: NetApp and Brocade's Encryption Partnership."
Kidd's blog doesn't discuss NetApp's plans for DataFort in his blog. Besides the FC version, DataFort supports iSCSI, NAS and legacy SCSI systems. After getting briefed by Brocade last week, I asked NetApp specifically about the future of DataFort. NetApp's senior director of data protection solutions Chris Cummings sent an email positioning the Brocade news as an expansion of the platform. "… over the past year, NetApp has also added the ability to deliver key management services combined with encryption delivered by existing components of the data center fabric, including application and tape providers, and now switch providers," he wrote.
Brocade reps and others in the industry expect NetApp to keep DataFort as a lower-end encryption device while selling Brocade's products for data center encryption. But it also sounds like NetApp sees Brocade rather than DataFort as its encryption platform for the future.
Seagate lets its services stand alone
Seagate is creating a new umbrella company for the services businesses the disk drive vendor has been accumulating over the last few years.
In 2006, Seagate acquired ActionFront Data Recovery Labs, which became Seagate Recovery Services. Last year Seagate added backup and recovery software and services vendor EVault, the Open File Manager product line from St. Bernard Software, and eDiscovery service provider MetaLincs. Those services have been known collectively as Seagate Services, but today were re-branded i365, a Seagate Company. (The "i" stands for information, 365 for every day availability.)
Mark Grace, general manager of i365, says the idea is to become a comprehensive group instead of a collection of acquisitions. "We're committing ourselves to this space," he says. "It showed good insight on the part of Seagate to chase this market."
As of now, there isn't much difference in i365 from Seagate Services besides the branding. The individual services and products will remain, Seagate will not break out i365's financials, and Grace has already been running the services group. But he says there will be some integration of products "where it makes sense" such as combining data protection with retention and archiving with data discovery.
As for immediate changes, the St. Bernard product line will become part of the EVault family, and Seagate Recovery Services becomes part of the Professional Services platform. The current i365 lineup consists of: i365 EVault Data Protection, i365 MetaLincs E-Discovery for review of electronic information for legal needs, i365 Retention Management for recovering, migrating, restoring, and managing data for e-discovery purposes, and i365 ProServe Professional Services for training, consulting and implementing products.
The move separates the services brand from the overall Seagate brand, which is tied to disk drives. "Seagate is a component manufacturing company. i365 is a product company," Grace says. " The go to market approach is totally different. We're going to bring a different reputation to this space."
Now i365 will compete as a service company with the likes of Iron Mountain and others looking to expanding into the SaaS space such as Symantec and CommVault. i365also competes with Seagate disk drive customers, mainly EMC, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard. But Seagate claims its services group grew 39 percent year over year for its fiscal year 2008 while other companies were still plotting a move into services.
Grace says i365 will brace for the expanded competition by rolling out new services and products – bare-metal restore is coming soon – and perhaps a few more acquisitions down the road. "We'll continue to grow organically and inorganically," he said.
Much ado about virtual desktop data storage
Last week at VMWorld, IBM announced the Virtual Storage Optimizer (VSO), ESX-based software that reduces virtual desktop storage by creating a "golden image" of the desktop's operating system and other static files, while saving the changes users might make to that image. It's a concept akin to NetApp's space-efficient snapshots, but because it's delivered in software at the ESX level, IBM said, it can be applied to any storage system.
The next day, at a keynote, VMware officials demonstrated a new concept they're rolling out in the next version of VMware Infrastructure called LinkedClones. LinkedClones create a "golden image" of virtual desktop files, as well as incremental changes;. The golden images, VMware demonstrated, can be updated with patches that automatically proliferate to all virtual machines based on the image to simplify rollouts and updates.
From the briefing I'd had with IBM the day before and this keynote demonstration, these products seemed similar. Since the VMware demo last Wednesday, I've been trying to assess what might be different about them. VMware officials I spoke with Wednesday and Thursday said they didn't know enough about IBM's product to comment on its differentiation and IBM spokespeople were unavailable. IBM's press release about VSO had stated that it was "based on an algorithm developed by IBM Research," but VMware said LinkedClones wasn't based on anything from IBM.
Today I spoke with VMware director of enterprise desktop Jerry Chen, who told IBM's VSO is based on the LinkedClones API. I asked about the algorithm developed by IBM. "There are things our partners can do to further optimize LinkedClone," Chen said. "For example, there are different settings for the number of LinkedClones each master virtual machine can copy."
Chen said he wasn't familiar enough with the IBM product to say what VSO adds on top of LinkedClones. Meanwhile, IBM has been coy on this one. Since last week, I've put in numerous requests for comment by phone and email, including a fresh round of requests today after speaking with Chen. So far, no comments have been forthcoming.
Further news and reading from VMWorld
A couple of additional storage announcements not captured in our VMWorld preview wrap:
EMC Corp. said EMC Control Center (ECC) 6.1 will now support reporting on thin-provisioned volumes within Symmetrix disk arrays. This was part of a package of update to various management software components in EMC's portfolio, which also included Infra service desk software and Application Discovery Manager (ADM). ECC will also support thin provisioned volumes when they become available for Clariion arrays.
Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) is now offering the Hitachi Storage Replication Adapter, a heterogeneous replication software plug-in certified with Site Recovery Manager. Xiotech Corp. also announced integration with SRM.
The latest release of DataCore SANmelody storage virtualization software has been certified with the newest release of VMware ESX Server 3.x. The certification covers base iSCSI connectivity as well as high-availability configurations.
GlassHouse Technologies consultants have joined up with Tek-Tools Software to offer a new managed service for virtualization environments. GlassHouse developed a management interface integrated with Tek-Tools' Profiler for VMware to provide a single pane view into the virtual environment.

Jeff Burke would come to work with alcohol in his coffee and continue drinking most of the day. He is also a pot smoker and will smoke and drink while working late into the night.
Jeff Burke is also racist. During my first week he stated in front of all of the employees that he doesn't do work for "sand people" at all and will only sometimes work for black people. He has a special file on the computer labeled "customers we do not work for". In this file he calls former customers every discriminatory and rude name possible to describe why he doesn't do work for them.
If you are working in the office, Jeff Burke changes what he wants you to do every day, making it impossible to do your job correctly. He expects you to read his mind on how he wants things. When you don't, he speaks to you in a condescending manner trying to make you feel stupid. He will also reprimand (borderline personality attack) you in this way in front of other people.
If you are a woman do not work for Jeff Burke. You will be treated horribly and fired.

Sunday Night Football kicks off with a special season-opening game on Thursday, Sept. 5. The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens travel to face the Denver Broncos at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Games on Sunday begin on Sept. 8 with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the New York Giants. That game, as well as all remaining Sunday night games, will be televised at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
A second Sunday Night Football game will be played on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 28. That match-up features Pittsburgh visiting Baltimore.
Overall, Sunday Night Football on NBC will include 18 regular-season NFL games.
2013 NFL Sunday Night Football Schedule
All games at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC
This is bs, the Lions never get isolated prime games on Thursday or Sunday night. They have 1 MNF game this year, and their home MNF game last year was played on a Saturday. I like Brady and all, but 3 games? Also 3 for the Giants/Green Bay? What garbage.
3 for Denver, Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Dallas. 2 for San Fran, Indy, Houston and Washington. There are 18 Sunday night games. That's plenty for every team to get one Sunday prime time game. So why can't we watch Detroit, KC, Miami, Tampa, NYJ, Jax, Carolina, SD, Oakland, AZ, Buffalo, Cleveland, StL, TN, Philly.
I would love to see Cincy in a Sunday or Monday night game every week. Otherwise, I really don't give a crap who's playing. Odds are the 2nd and 3rd time Dallas, NYG, GB, NE, Denver, Indy and Houston play, I'll find something else to do.
None of those teams that you mentioned are ever contenders! Maybe after this season the Bengals will get a game or two because they are winning. No offense, but who the hell wants to watch the Raiders? The Raiders remind me of the Wildcats before Goldie coached the team…Carolina? How many games did they win? The Florida three..Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville…Hmm, how many games did Jacksonville win this year? They just lost the only player they have to a drug suspension. Miami might get a Sunday Night appearance next season if they keep up their good play….Tampa Bay…..Went through another Qb, huh? You'll see KC get a Sunday game or two if they continue playing great ball like they are. Buffalo? aaaah, Buffalo, I don't think they won more than 8 games since Jim Kelly was QB. The New York Jets have been playing good football. If they keep it up they may get a Sunday game next year. AZ, ST. Louis, Philly… Come on! You have to be a contender or win to get love! Yeah, Dallas has only won one playoff game in 16 years and have been an average 8-8 for the last couple of years but they are still in contention for a playoff spot at the end of the year. Buffalo, St Louis, Miami, Cincy, The Jets, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Oakland , AZ, Cleveland, Tennesee and Philly have been losing football teams! People want to watch contenders…People want to watch the best the NFL has to offer…If you want to watch these teams get the NFL Network and watch the Thursday games….lol! The people want to watch Manning v Brady on Sunday Night after a hard week of work not Who the hell are the QB'S of half the teams you mentioned? They change every week….LOL! Hope this answers your question….. Cincy, Miami, and the Jets are playing good football. Carolina is coming on…If they keep it up the rest of the season one of these teams will get a spot…
Pleas pleas bring back Fath Hill
I to would like to Detroit Lions on Sunday nite and Monday nite football they have had the most explosive Ofense n NFL the past 2 Seasons.
Raiders will be on NBC Sunday night football soon

AbstractThis paper investigates the properties of central or core political blogs. They can be located as clusters of blogs whose members have many incoming links. Other blogs form clouds around them in the sense that they link the core blogs. A case study records Greek political blogs and their incoming links reported through their blogrolls. The adjacency matrix from the blogs' social network is analyzed and clusters are located. Three of them, those with the larger numbers of incoming links, may be considered to be central. Next, four measures of influence are used to test the influence of the central blogs. The findings suggest that there are many kinds of central blogs, influential and non-influential, and high influence does not always involve high hyperlinking.

Pokemon: title still unknown rough idea
View Single Post
December 26th, 2007 (6:04 PM).
I'm a lawn gnome...not a pixie
Join Date:
Dec 2007
So i've had this idea, I started a rp with it in the summer on gaia but it kind of died due to the people that joined being stupid. Anyways, I have this image of an ancient world of Pokemon before technology really took it's place.
There was a monarchy with a king and a queen and they had themselves a prince. blah blah. there were different raced throughout the land such as the gypsies seen as pokemon stealers and those are the only ones I really remember right now.
but, I have a gypsy character and I want to use her in it so I've got a plot here.
I'll make it short and then I want ideas etc.
The prince is old enough to go out on his own in disguise to travel through the land of _________. this will give him the chance to meet with his future subjects without them knowing it's him. Most young people do leave their homes around sixteen to see the world for their own eyes though the prince is a bit late as he is around eighteen. They don't have to go see a professor to get a pokemon either as most people own pokemon in the home to help with daily tasks.
Instead of pokeballs their are stones and magic is used to seal pokemon away in them. Different types of stones hold a stronger chance of keeping a pokemon sealed inside of them or have a special property like say, emerald healed the pokemon while it was sealed inside of it. Diamond would be the strongest holder of all the stones.
The gypsies are being killed off as the blame of stolen pokemon is shoved upon them when really, it's an underground organization that has been stealing the pokemon with an idea in mind, to take down the royal line to make way for a new type of government and world domination.
of course, the prince decides that he's going to take matters into his own hands and with the group he has assembled through meetings during his travels, he plans to go straight for the center of the problem and strike.
Among his group, my character is a gypsy though she is currently working for the evil group who still needs a name. She is working for them against her will, they would kill her and take her pokemon if she didn't go out and steal pokemon for them as part of their task force.
blah blah blah. xD the idea is still forming but I'm open to your input.
Add me! Party subject to change.
