Hardware as a Service (Haas) may not be a term you're familiar with, but as an MSP it's worth considering if it's something you could offer your clients.
To gain an understand of HaaS, it's useful to consider the Software as a Service (SaaS) equivalent; A few years ago, the vast majority of companies paid for all of their software on a "up-front" basis – i.e. 100 copies / licenses of a software product at $x each.
Nowadays, a lot of software is instead purchased on the SaaS model. Instead of buying software outright, businesses instead pay a monthly subscription for use of the software.
Usually this allows them to use the most up to date version of the product.
This SaaS model spreads to all kinds of software, from fully Web-based CRM systems to locally installed Office products for those using Microsoft's Office 365. In recent years, even Adobe's comprehensive Creative Suite software is available on a SaaS subscription model, known as Creative Cloud.
With all this in mind, it's no surprise that Hardware as a Service is now becoming a trend too. Companies are becoming used to paying monthly for more and more of their IT provision – so why not extend this to hardware?
You're probably thinking that this model is effectively hardware leasing, and it would be a fair comparison. But offering HaaS as an MSP involves slightly more. Typically, if you offer HaaS, you will supply the physical equipment, and be responsible for its monitoring and maintenance. You then roll in supplementary services such as online backup and security protection and come up with a monthly fee.
If providing HaaS is something you think would appeal to your clients, you should consider the two main ways you can do so:
Sourcing and providing equipment privately
There's nothing to say you cannot provide HaaS independently. You could purchase the equipment, install, configure and maintain it, and establish a profitable monthly service fee for doing so.
This approach has a distinct disadvantage, however, in that you will need a vast amount of capital to cover the up-front purchase of client kit. Few MSPs will have the budget to kit out entire client offices, even if after two or three years they are able to recoup far more than the initial outlay. This approach also carries risk if clients are unable to pay at some point in the future.
On the other hand, after making a profit on equipment, you still own it, and can potentially make more money selling it later.
Work with larger companies
By working with manufacturers and larger firms, you can still offer HaaS, but arrange your services so that you don't need to finance the physical hardware up front. This minimizes your risk, but does potentially limit your profits.
The Future of HaaS
Hardware as a Service is still in relative infancy. While it's unlikely that it will ever become as mainstream as its software equivalent, it's an area that could stand you out from competition. An entire IT infrastructure for $xxx per month is a proposition that's easy for potential customers to understand. Find a way to finance it and profit from it, and you could be onto a winner.

Having settled in we were advised to grab some lunch from the local sandwich shop, the Good Luck Sandwich. All the staff at the hostel swear by it and it possibly was the nicest sandwich I've had since I've been here! Re-fueled we cracked out the map and decided to take a walk to Fisherman's Wharf, the tourist area of the waterfront, filled with bars, restaurants and tacky souvenir shops galore, not forgetting the famous Pier 39 Sea Lions.
The next day we had tickets for a visit to Alcatraz, the former US prison on an island in the middle of San Fransisco Bay. Tickets sell out quickly, even at quieter times of the year and we'd had to pick up ours the day before, although the staff at the hostel said that in the middle of summer they sell out a week in advance! The fog had come down pretty heavily that morning and by the time we reached the ferry you could barely see the island from the mainland which made it pretty eerie making our way across the bay. By the time we reached Alcatraz the temperature had dropped and no sunshine was making its way through the clouds, making what is without doubt was always a desolate spot even on a sunny day, even more miserable.
Making our way up the hill we found our way to the main building, which houses the cell blocks, dining hall, offices etc. The National Park Service were putting on a talk about the Bird Man of Alcatraz and we decided to listen to that before we started the audio tour around the building. It was quite interesting, apparently Robert Stroud the 'Bird Man' was a real nasty peice of work (unsurprising really for a double murderer), nothing at all like the way he was portrayed by Burt Lancaster in the film.
Having spent a few hours looking around the island we caught the ferry back to the mainland, hoping that the fog had drifted offshore a bit and that it was warmer back in San Fran, unfortunately we were wrong. Walking back to the hostel you could actually look up and see fog drifting past at building height! San Fransisco has a unique climate compared to the rest of California and it's not unusual for it to be a lot cooler there than just a few miles outside of the city, but that took even me by surprise.
Day three dawned and the plan was to head up to Golden Gate Park and check out the California Academy of Sciences, which combines a natural history museum, acquarium and even it's own rainforest. Unfortunately by the time we found our way to the museum through the park it was 1 o'clock and they had a sign up outside to say that on that day they would be closing at 3pm! We'd be told that you really need to spend a whole day there so the prospect of paying $25 for two hours was pretty unappealing. Instead we decided to check out what else there was to see in the park, which takes up 1017 acres, making it 20% bigger than Central Park in New York (by the way, in case you were wondering I did get that info from Wikipedia, I can't claim to know if off the top of my head!), pretty big.
On Saturday a group of us from the hostel took the metro up to Mission Delores Park to experience a real San Fran Saturday and hang out with the locals. Mission Delores was the original site of the Catholic Mission established in what later became San Fransisco (no Wiki there). The orginal Mission building is still there and a Latin American community has grown up around it and the park just in front. On most Saturdays the locals come and hang out in the park, making the most of the sunshine, playing music, picnicing etc. This Saturday happened to be a particularly sunny one so a large number of people had come out to sunbathe and the line for the local ice cream shop was around the corner.
San Fransisco being the home of more than a few hippies there were a few other intersting sites (and smells) in the park, including the 'Really Really Free Market'. This was basically a jumble sale but without the sale element...they just give the stuff away! I had a quick look out of curiosity and some of the items available included old shoes, half used bottles of clothes detergent, hats and plastic pots...a fine collection! There was also a free bbq, open to anyone who wanted a bite to eat, at absolutely no cost.
Saturday night arrived and a few of us from the hostel fancied a night out. A bit of googling later and we found a club up the road which was having a end of summer beach party. This involved covering the whole club floor with sand, various bits of fishing net and plastic fish. Quite an experience!
On Monday Helen and I and two others from the hostel, an Australian couple, decided to hire a car and take a drive down Pacific Highway 1 to Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small coastel town known for being expremely picturesque. On the way there we stopped off at town other places, Santa Cruz and Monterey
Day 7 - Myself and the Aussies took the train out to the University of California - Berkeley campus for a look around. Berkeley is one of the famous Ivy League universities, similar to our Oxford and Cambridge. The campus is beautiful, lots of impossing while marble buildings surrounded by lawns and woodland, it must be a stunning place to study, and the town of Berkeley itself seemed pretty nice, with lots of coffee shops and little places to eat.
For our last day in San Fransisco we took a walk up to Lombard Street, famous for being the crookidest street in the city.
.From the top of Lombard Street we hopped onto one one San Fransisco's famous cable cars heading down to Union Square, the shopping district of the city. We stopped off for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, a restaurant known for...well...cheesecake, but also it's generally huge portions. The fact that with each menu they give you a seperate booklet full of calorie counts for each menu item should give it away and I'm pretty sure I consummed my daily recommended calorie intact in one meal! The craziest thing I saw there was the carrot cake, which must have been at least six inchs high, and sliced up generously, I wish I'd taken a picture of it. Ridicously full we waddled around the shops for a while before heading back to the hostel to prepare for our overnight bus to San Diego,

"Of course, there's still a nuclear site with three damaged reactors."
Five Years Later, Cutting Through the Fukushima Myths by Andrew Karam [Popular Mechanics] Radiation expert Andrew Karam, who covered the disaster for Popular Mechanics in 2011 and later traveled to study the site, explains everything you need to know about Fukushima's legacy and danger five years later. [more inside]
Ever wonder what happened to Fukushima Storage Unit #4?
Ever wonder what happened to Fukushima Storage Unit #4? You remember, the one filled with 1,500 wet stored and combustible fuel rods that threaten a total of ~134 million curies of radioactive cesium137 and, at least as of last April, seemed to be in maybe not such great shape? (PREVIOUSLY) This August, TEPCO released a comprehensive and easily understandable report on the condition of the structure as well as measures being done to both reinforce it against likely earthquakes and ultimately remove the fuel rods, which are still hot enough to require wet storage elsewhere (PDF). On the other hand, Kohei Murata, the former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland who had the attention of the world during the crisis, remains both unimpressed and eschatological.
Floods, aftershocks, and fallout.
The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom. Japan, still feeling the aftershocks of the earthquake, the tsunami, the Fukushima exclusion zone... An opportunity for everyone to reflect on the disaster, share stories, and contemplate the impact of a year ago and what it means today.
Fighter at Point Zero
"In the wake of the March 11 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, former Shooto heavyweight champion Enson Inoue has been on a one-man charity mission, repeatedly traveling to northeast Japan to directly help those in need." A 9-Day Diary of the Trip and an interview about his experience covertly visiting the derelict Fukushima Reactor to feed stray animals and witness the gravity of the disaster zone.
Yakuza To The Rescue
Even Japan's infamous mafia groups are helping out with the relief efforts and showing a strain of civic duty. "The Kanagawa Block of the Inagawa-kai, has sent 70 trucks to the Ibaraki and Fukushima areas to drop off supplies in areas with high radiations levels. They didn't keep track of how many tons of supplies they moved. The Inagawa-kai as a whole has moved over 100 tons of supplies to the Tohoku region. They have been going into radiated areas without any protection or potassium iodide."
8.0 Earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan
8.0 Earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan. Holy crap. The Kobe quake in 1994 was a 6.9 - am I right to think that an 8.0 is about ten times worse than that one? Any mefites in Japan who can give us more information?

A group of girl guides from a fire-ravaged part of Australia posed with Prince William and wife Kate for photos on Thursday, shouting out "Princess!" instead of "Cheese!" as the shutters clicked.
The girls, who live in Winmalee in the Blue Mountains, an area devastated by bushfires last year, smiled and cheered as Kate, 32, and William, 31, joined them for an impromptu photo call outside their hut.
The lighthearted moment followed a traditional tree planting (actually shoveling the last spadefuls of soil onto a summer red Eucalyptus tree), and then the girls serenaded the couple with "Bravo!"
The royal couple were visiting the town, an hour and a half's drive from Sydney, to show their support for the families who had lost their homes and the emergency services personnel who had worked in searing heat to help them.
"They're amazing people, bringing joy to a lot of people," one parent, Sandi Cornthwaite, told PEOPLE.
Putting the girls at ease, William asked which of them enjoyed school. "A lot of the littler ones put their hands up. A lot of the seniors didn't put their hands up," said Brianna Sten, 13. "Will said: 'That's all right. I didn't really like school either.' "
"I said, 'Me too.' And then he high-fived me."
As has become customary, William and Kate – who was wearing a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress and her favorite navy wedges – received still more gifts for Prince George. One of the girls asked William asked if they had picked a name yet for the cuddly wombat given to baby George by Australia's governor-general on Wednesday.
When he said they hadn't, Nicola Cook, 13, told William, " 'You could call it Nicola.' He then said, 'We don't know if he's boy or a girl! So I said, 'If it's a boy, call it Nick!' "
In the town of Winmalee, 195 homes were destroyed last year in the space of a few hours. There, William and Kate spoke to Eartha and Peter Odell and their children Mia, 9, and Ty, 6, who lost their home at a time when their daughter was waiting for an operation for a life-threatening brain condition.
"It's a very private thing, our land. It's very hard having everyone looking at it," Eartha, 47, told reporters. "But for them to come all this way to say hello and 'I'm sorry this happened to you' – it means an awful lot. It did not seem like duty to them. It seemed like a pleasure."

Lawn equipment robbed
Summerville Police Department was called once again to a school for a report of burglarized storage sheds.
All of the sheds on the Flowertown Elementary School property were broken into and a power washer and a 2 Cycle Mantis Tiller were stolen. Five locks were damaged. The officer also observed the chain link security fence had been cut and equipment from the burglary, such as a pair of bolt cutters and limb cutters, were found outside along the school cafeteria.
Police also reported four sheds at Newington Elementary School were burglarized during the same time frame. The total value of the stolen items was approximately $1,000, with $50 worth of damage.
Take the money and run
Sibling rivalry turned violent March 17 when a Summerville teen was arrested for physically assaulting his sister.
According to the 21-year-old victim, she had just received her income tax refund when her brother asked for her money.
She said he verbally threatened her and later choked her and sat on her until she couldnt breathe.
Officers observed defensive wounds on the victim.
After officers chased the brother through the neighborhood he was arrested for assault and battery in the second degree.
Children tell all
A Cane Bay Middle School student was allegedly beaten by his father, the victims mother reported on March 17.
The victims mother contacted the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office to say her son claimed his father had allegedly hit him in the head with a shower curtain rod and taken his bed sheets from him.
The victims sister, a Cane Bay Elementary School student, had a similar testimony, saying the father beat the victim with a curtain rod, causing the victim to vomit violently.
The sister said she surrendered her bedding to her father willingly. The mother and father have joint custody of the children, she said.
A Berkeley County officer took the case over and referred the family to a Berkeley County Department of Social Services agent. DCSO collected a voluntary statement from the father.
Parking space squabble
A fight over a parking space ensued in the Walmart parking lot March 5, and Summerville Police were called to the scene. According to the complainant, 27 of North Charleston, she was removing her children from her vehicle in the Walmart parking lot when a car started honking at her and the driver yelled at her.
She said the 61-year-old suspect was threatening her and called the police.
According to the suspect, he told the complainant that he was not the person honking at her. She then threw a piece of gum at him, which the officer observed in the car.
The suspect completed a voluntary statement at Summerville Police Department.
The Walmart security video shows the suspect pulling his car next to the complainant, the complainant bending down and looking in the suspects car, the suspect beginning to follow the complainant toward the store, then turning around and return to his vehicle. Both parties advised they did not want to press charges.
Anything for candy
On March 13 a man was reported to Dorchester County Sheriffs Office for enticing a student from school campus.
According to Reeves Elementary School records, the 21-year-old brother of a student signed his younger sister out of school, claiming she needed to go home and take a shower because shed slept over at a friends house the night before.
The brother checked the victim out at 7:45 a.m. and returned her to Reeves at 8:37 a.m.
The victim informed her teacher the real reason she left school was to urinate in a cup for her brother, who told her he smoked cigarettes and needed to pass a urine test at his place of employment.
He said he would give the victim free candy. The student said she agreed and gave the sample in prescription pill bottles.
DCSO spoke with the place of employment and they confirmed the suspect was absent from work at the time the incident took place.

Featured Golf News
Golf Development Coming to Washington Coast
In late May, the company behind a golf and residential community on Washingtons Pacific coast selected KemperSports to manage the development.
Lanco, LLC, the developer of Westport by the Sea, hired KemperSports to run the lodging and food and beverage facilities within the Westport, Wash., project, which is located less than three hours from both Seattle and Portland. The Northbrook, Ill.-based management company will also assist with the development of a proposed Rick Robbins-designed golf course, as well as a resort with a hotel and convention center.
Situated beside a beach, bay and marina, the development currently has nearly 200 condominium units. KemperSports will operate the units, which are in a rental program, in addition to three restaurants, two hotels and several planned golf courses.
"This development is surrounded by potential, and we are excited that KemperSports shares our vision to make the community of Westport a world-class resort destination," said developer Chuck Maples. We have a solid foundation on which to build.
According to Maples, future plans include the construction of as many as four golf courses, more luxury condominiums and commercial retail space. Westport, a long-time fishing village on the southwest Washington coast, offers recreational activities like surfing, deep-sea fishing and whale watching.
Westport comprises the capabilities and natural elements to be the next great oceanside destination resort community in the Pacific Northwest, added Steve Skinner, president of KemperSports. We are thrilled to be involved and to work with Chuck Maples and his team to build on the momentum and buzz that have already been generated by this development.

Mr. Lew should fit right in.
Considering John O Brennan is nominated to head the CIA, Chuck Hagel is nominated to head the Department of Defense and John Kerry is nominated to be the next Secretary of State. It may seem odd to align the Treasury Secretary pick with them. Odd that is, until you remember:
Prior to his position as President Obama's Chief of Staff, and prior to him being Obama's Budget Director (comical considering Obama has never had a budget) Jack Lew served as State Department Director under Hillary Clinton. It was Lew's influence that shaped and positioned the failed Obama foreign policy toward the Middle East. Specifically toward Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya during their upheavel, the Arab Spring. How has that worked out for our interests ?
President Obama has presented his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, as his nominee for Treasury Secretary. Make no mistake, this is not a decision made with the economic…

Looking to Buy Ham Online? This gourmet ham is slowly cooked and is best served at room temperature. The boneless ham has been trimmed by having the butt and shank portions of it removed from the ham prior to cooking so only the choice center remains.
After the ham is cooked, the center bone is removed. (We leave the bone in during cooking because we think it adds to the flavor.) It's perfect for buffets and sandwiches, or slice thicker for a dinner serving.
Ham is cured with salt, brown sugar, and pepper. It is aged 7 to 9 months.

Episcopal School of Dallas Students Honor Famous Bard During 32nd Annual Shakespeare Week
Every winter, the Upper School students of the Episcopal School of Dallas showcase their artistic writing, acting, and film editing skills in honor of Shakespeare Week. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the event during which English classes foster discussions about the famous Bard of Avon's themes and character development, as well as writing style, while film students busy themselves with creating modern-day versions of Much Ado About Nothing.
"Shakespeare week offers students the opportunity to work collaboratively or independently to showcase their creativity as they confront the question of Shakespeare's relevance in contemporary society," Jennifer Meyers, Chair of ESD's English Department, said. "The clear message we see from the meaningful projects ESD students generate is just how Shakespeare lends to the timeless themes of love, loyalty, revenge, jealousy, betrayal,redemption, and particularly self-reflection as these are the issues our students themselves encounter."
This year's film contest features more than a dozen works from student actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, producers, and editors. The winning film, announced in chapel on Thursday, March 6 was The Wolf of Messina by Eric Stern '14.
Other notable films included:
- 2nd Place: Much Ado About Something: A Real Life Story by Kelly Eichenholz '14and Elise Waller '14
- 3rd Place: Hoodwink, A Music Mash-Up by Katherine Hunsaker '14 and Sidney Sikes '14
- Honorable Mention: Shakespearean Hustle by Cal Etcheverry '17
"Shakespeare Week is so much fun for the students because he hits right on the issues in relationships," Suzette Carona, ESD's Film Studies tracher, said. "Those problems have not changed over the years. The kids love bringing him to life in film, art, music, and drama."
Shakespeare Week started in 1982 when a group of English teachers gathered the ESD community together for a public reading of Macbeth. Since then, the celebration has evolved to include artistic renderings, dramatic and humorous soliloquies, social media websites, and baking demonstrations from the Shakespearian era. Every year, the Upper School students collectively study one play, so the curriculum is always rotating and evolving.
"The culmination of ESD's annual Shakespeare Week features the entire Upper School student body finding ways to creatively respond to Much Ado About Nothing," Christine Nicolette-Gonzalez, ESD Upper School English teacher, said. "From film, to song, dance and visual performance, and written art, each student is given the opportunity to share his/her unique creative voice."

Summer's almost over, which means the season's guiltiest TV pleasure is coming to an end, too.
After the most entertaining season yet, America's Got Talent will name a winner on Wednesday. But which of the final six deserves to take home $1 million and get a show in Las Vegas? Will it be one of the singers, a comedian, a magician or the performer who defies description, Kenichi Ebina?
Vote for your favorite act below.
Cami Bradley
There's something about this 25-year-old's voice that pulls you in as she takes on classic songs and makes them her own.
Collins Key
The judges told this 16-year-old that he's the future face of magic, and they're right about the way he combines his tricks with social media.
Taylor Williamson
They're something so awkwardly endearing about this 26-year-old comedian that we bet TV producers are clamouring to craft a sitcom around his quirky personality.
It's hard to believe that this opera trio met on the internet and had never performed together in front of an audience before they auditioned for America's Got Talent.
Jimmy Rose
The country singer, 32, is a marine veteran and coal miner whose own song, "Coal Keeps the Lights On," blew away the judges and won hearts across the country.
Kenichi Ebina
There's nobody like this Japanese performer, who combines freestyle dance moves with martial arts and video montages that he creates himself, so it's no wonder judge Howie Mandel thinks the 38-year-old should win the competition.

The Poodle's non-shedding coat and penetrating intelligence are the usual motivations behind such experimentation, where potential pet owners are looking for a highly intelligent, nonshedding version of a breed for health, aesthetic, or hygenic reasons. While some of the crosses have been accidental, most of the very successful crosses are deliberate and industries unto themselves. A breed cross is not a recognized breed, although some breeders promote them as such; this is because certain of the crosses have fairly consistent appearance, personality, and size, and are easily identifiable (as for example the schnoodle). Other crosses are less predictable, resulting in wildly variant appearances and personalities (as for example occurs in the so-called Yorkie-poo, the yorkshire terrier cross). Often touted are the alleged non-shedding properties of certain crosses. While often true, this is not always the case, and any cross involving a shedding breed may result in offspring that shed. What is almost always true is that the offspring of two entirely different breed dogs is very unlikely to have genetically-linked diseases perpetuated by the inbreeding of pure breeds. Assuming the parents are properly matched for size and build, first generation hybrid dogs are likely to be very healthy and vigorous throughout their lives having a much lower chance of developing genetic diseases or disorders based upon skeletal geometries.

THE TIDE WAS going out in Paulsboro, and from Gary Stevenson's kitchen table a few geese could be seen hugging the bank of Mantua Creek, just beyond the inky eddies swirling out toward the Delaware River.
Stevenson's spacious, new home about 20 yards from the creek, on land his family has owned for generations, might provide the best view in town. And when a distant rumble grows closer, when vibrations rise through your shoes and a hulking form appears just beyond the back deck, the scene viewed from the kitchen becomes a perfect picture of life in Paulsboro.
"I guess I don't even really notice it anymore," Stevenson, 53, said on a chilly March morning as a 200-ton locomotive engine rolled past the house. "We're so used to it."

Carol Ney, the former Harahan police officer who admitted falsifying her time sheets to collect $20,515 extra pay, has been sentenced in federal court to two years of probation.
Ney, 64, faced as long as 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, but she has fully paid back the city of Harahan, the U.S. attorney's office said.
She was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman, whom President Reagan appointed to the bench.
Ney pleaded guilty in April after an FBI investigation sparked by Harahan's new police chief, Mac Dickinson. Dickinson, who took office Jan. 1, learned that Ney was taking advantage of a federal grant meant cover the costs her overtime pay while she assisted crime victims.
She pleaded guilty to padding her paychecks by falsifying time sheets between 2008 and 2010 under then-Police Chief Peter Dale. Dale has said didn't "fool with the grants."
Dickinson suspended Ney during his first week in office and fired her Jan 28.

Hasheem Thabeet in a Q&A: "Everybody has different perspectives of the situation. I really don't dwell on my past. This is a different situation. I've got to come in, establish my position and work hard. That's the only thing I can control. I can't control my past. I've just got to enjoy what I face right now."
Ben Golliver of CBSSports.com on Team USA's game: "Was this the beginning of a global revenge tour for the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar? Durant simply couldn't miss on Thursday night, dropping in five of his six 3-point attempts, making the international 3-point line look like an effortless mid-range jumper time and again. Remember, Durant's Thunder lost in the NBA Finals only weeks before USA camp opened, so the loss is obviously still lingering. He simply looked like a man on a mission from the moment he stepped onto the court, shooting without a second thought and making a number of nifty moves to send the Dominican defenders reeling. While starting designation really doesn't mean all that much in this setting, Durant really should be starting."
Watch Russell Westbrook doink a dunk from last night.
Darnell Mayberry on Latavious Williams: "Taking the overseas route is the more lucrative option, and the one Williams on Thursday said he prefers over another stint in the D-League — where he could continue his development under close supervision while awaiting a potential call-up by the Thunder next season. But as the Thunder's 15-man roster gets more difficult to crack, Williams has found it more difficult to not be frustrated. It's been so tough for Williams to not be in the NBA that he said reporting to camp and getting cut doesn't sound like such a bad idea."
Michael Lee of the Washington Post: "Kevin Durant, a small forward in the NBA, came off the bench to play center and scored a game-high 24 points after connecting on his first five attempts from beyond the international three-point line. Andre Iguodala, a wing player who can defend at least three positions, chipped in 18 points – including four-three-pointers – and two steals and was given player of the game honors afterward."
Sekou Smith of NBA.com: "The size disadvantages the U.S. will face can be offset with a deep team filled with flashes, in addition to Durant coming off the bench they also had Westbrook, Williams (in the first half) and Harden playing off the bench. That sort of depth allows a team to play a riskier style and gamble on defense in ways that usually aren't done. And that's just the way Krzyzewski prefers it to be."
Chad Ford of ESPN.com gives the Thunder a "B" for their offseason: "Because of the impending salary hit, the Thunder kept their spending down. They made a great pickup in the draft with Perry Jones, who slid from a potential lottery pick down into the late first round because of questions about his left knee and his motor. He's looked very solid in the summer league, and with Durant as his mentor, he could be the star of the draft. Thabeet has been a bust, but he's young, blocks shots and is on a cheap two-year deal. Thompson was one of my undrafted sleepers. He can really shoot the basketball and has good size and athletic ability at the 3. He's a nice, cheap pick-up."
J.A. Adande on Team USA: "Durant will wind up as the MVP of this squad — even if he continues to come off the bench — because of his shooting ability. When the Dominican zone defense had U.S. shooters clanking jump shots, Durant checked in and drained his first five 3-point shots."
Kevin Arnovitz: "As if the game of basketball isn't easy enough for Kevin Durant, Team USA's 113-59 win over the Dominican Republic in a friendly exhibition was like a playpen for the NBA scoring leader. As the first American off the bench, Durant scored 24 points on 9-for-11 shooting from the field, and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was simply the perfect version of himself — all arms, legs and marksmanship. Want to bring a smile to Durant's face? Just ask him about those extra 19 inches that turn a long NBA 2-pointer into a FIBA 3-pointer."

Salisbury made his Test debut in 1992 and took five wickets in England's two-wicket defeat by Pakistan at Lord's but, like former Surrey team-mate Mark Ramprakash, he struggled to reproduce his county form at international level. First picked at the age of 22, Salisbury was in and out of the England team until 2000, when he suffered a personally disappointing tour of Pakistan. His line suffered on the international stage as nerves took the better of him. Salisbury moved to Surrey from Sussex in 1997 and the partnership he formed with Saqlain Mushtaq proved very beneficial to the South L...

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
Style Me Up! is a fashion brand for tween girls founded on the notion of "do it yourself". With the brand's craft kits, designer sketchbooks, creative cosmetics, and more, kids can express themselves with style.
With the Magnifying Jeweller Station, kids use rhinestones to decorate pendants. The kit comes with a magnifying station, a gem pen with two refill tips, seven pendants, a wheel of rhinestones in seven colors, four ribbons, four metal chains, jewelry glue, and instructions.
Choose a pendant and place it on the jewel adaptor pin on the magnifying station. Spread your gems in the gem tray and shake it a little so that the gems fall into place, colored side up. You can adjust the magnifying glass position as well as the position of the pendant as you work. Put a little drop of glue in the holes of the pendant. Pick up a gem by touching it with the gem pen and place the gem in the glue. Once the pendant is finished, remove it and the jewel adaptor pin from the magnifying station and place it in one of the drawer slots to dry for at least one day. Once dry, you can attach a pendant hook onto your pendant and string either ribbon or a chain through the hook to wear your pendant.
The Style Me Up! Magnifying Jeweller Station is an easy and fun activity for kids who like to make and wear their own jewelry. This kit lets kids express themselves through hands-on creativity, while adding a personal touch to their creations.
The Magnifying Jeweller Station is for ages 8 and up.
It will most appeal to kids who love to do crafts and have the patience and fine motor skills to work with the small gems.
Pendant refill packs are available and sold separately.
The magnifying glass is supposed to help you see better as you work, but we found it difficult to see through the magnifying glass and preferred not to use it.
It's a little difficult to remove the pendant and place it into one of the drawer slots without messing up the gems. Be careful when you pop the jewel adaptor pin out of the magnifying station. You might want to use tongs to hold and lower the pendant into the drawer.

Nonito Donaire Jr. has had his own struggles with boxing's Cold War that is preventing many of the biggest fights in the sport from coming to fruition. Earlier this decade, both Donaire Jr. and the then-unbeaten Abner Mares had talked up a fight that would've pitted the two fastest-rising fighters below the featherweight division.
Instead of the fight happening, Donaire lost to Guillermo Rigondeaux in early 2013 while Mares was shockingly knocked out in one round by Jhonny Gonzalez, erasing any talk or interest in the fight.
"I think there should be some kind of law that doesn't interfere with fighters fighting each other," muses Donaire Jr. (32-2, 21 knockouts), who is training in the Philippines for his May 31 showdown with WBA featherweight titleholder Simpiwe Vetyeka in Macau. "The thing about it is, it really comes down to Top Rank and the networks, because fighters will always fight."
Prior to a recent workout in Manila, the conversation switched to the sport's most infamous victim of inter-promotional politics – the failed Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. pairing.
When asked whether he thought the fight could still be salvaged, Donaire was blunt. "No, not happening. Maybe in a year or two when both…" said Donaire as he changed thought tracks. "It's really hard at this time because of promotional networks, fighters desiring more percentages, this and that. It's chaos."
Still, the 31-year-old native of Bohol, Philippines who now calls San Leandro, Calif. home was laudatory of Pacquiao's most recent performance – a unanimous verdict over Timothy Bradley to win the WBO welterweight title last month.
"He did well to execute and be victorious," said Donaire. "Of course I do see that he is not as fast or as strong, he's a bit cautious but he won convincingly and he did well in hurting Bradley and winning the fight. I think that if he devoted himself to boxing that his speed and power and everything else will come back."
Donaire credited Pacquiao, 35, of General Santos City with raising the profile of boxing in Asia, enabling Asian cities like Macau, where Donaire will fight next, to grow into boxing hotbeds.
"He's an amazing fighter," said Donaire. "One thing that I'm always thankful for is that he has opened the doors for a lot of Filipino fighters and Asian fighters. China they're coming up with great fighters. One thing about China is, they create fighters and as the time passes they'll create something better. That's something to look forward to as Chinese champions will rise in the future and more fights will be held in Asia. I'm willing to be a part of that."
Pacquiao has no opponent for his next fight, which is scheduled for later this year. Should Juan Manuel Marquez – who knocked Pacquiao out in six rounds in 2012 – get past Mike Alvarado later this month, a fifth clash with Pacquiao could be in store. Donaire feels Pacquiao has a strong shot of turning the tables should they meet again.
"I think so because Marquez was almost going down in that fight. That's the thing that people forget and the only thing that people remember is that Marquez took him down. But before that Marquez was almost done," said Donaire.

3hr Virtual Seminar on Designing Medical Device Software to Prevent Product Recalls
This training will outline practical steps to design medical device software that does not compromise on performance reliability and patient safety, thereby preventing product recalls.
Product ID: 701954
Why Should You Attend:
Many medical devices are controlled by software that governs key aspects of the user interface, and performs key safety functions. Users often do not realize the extent to which software determines many of the key functional and performance characteristics of the system until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, in some cases, the software does "go wrong" and compromises performance reliability and patient safety. Because software is inevitably complex, abstract, and intangible, design errors can be difficult to detect. The occurrence of a software error should be a highly unusual event.
The trend of recalls of products containing software is up. Historically, software safety has been focused on the software development process and system-level testing.. Having skilled engineers and a rigorous software development process, as required by the FDA is important to help to minimize errors. However, assessing the software development process provides only a partial reliability of the software, and system-level testing that would comprehensively test the software is currently beyond the state of the art except for a very simple system. How we design the software reliability and safety is critical in preventing recalls.
Attend this training to learn proven techniques for designing reliable and safe medical device software that can prevent product recalls.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- FDA Quality System Requirements.
- Principles of software reliability.
- Principles of software safety.
- Software requirements analysis methods.
- Software Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
- Software Hazard Analysis.
- Software structure for reliability and safety.
- Software architecture for reliability and safety.
- Manual code reviews.
- Software verification.
- Software validation.
- Exhaustive system testing.
- Risk analysis.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all Medical Device companies/ manufacturing sites. Those that would benefit most would be:
- Software R&D
- Software Engineers, System Engineers
- Software Project Managers
- Hardware Development
- Product Management, Product development
- Safety
- Regulatory
- Purchasing & Production
- Quality Assurance Managers
- Suppliers and Software Vendors
Personnel in the hospital and healthcare industry would also benefit from this training.
A respected and sought out expert on medical device and hospital care safety, author Dev Raheja draws on his 25 years of experience as a risk management and quality assurance consultant to provide medical device stakeholders with a systematic way to learn the science of safety and reliability. He uses evidence-based safety theories and tools taken from the aerospace, nuclear, medical, and chemical industries to identify the combination of root causes that result in an adverse event. He applies analytical tools that can effectively measure efficiency, establish evidence between Lean strategies and patient satisfaction.
His focus is on using various types of innovations to encourage a culture conducive to high return on investment. He is the author of the books Assurance Technologies principles and Practices, and Safer Hospital Care. He has served as Associate Professor for the PhD degree in Reliability Engineering at University of Maryland during 1994-99.

As one of the world's professional rock-climbing elite, Tommy Caldwell is used to facing danger in some of the planet's most forbidding places. But one thing he had never encountered, until just after dawn last Aug. 12, was the roar of gunfire as it echoed off the sheer granite wall to which he was clinging 1,000 feet above the ground in the central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan. "We were sitting ducks up there," Caldwell, 22, part of a four-member American climbing expedition, recalls thinking calmly, "so we had no choice but to go down and see what was up."
What Caldwell and his climbing colleagues found on the ground was enough to make the high-altitude risks of their sport seem relatively benign by comparison. Waiting below on the valley floor were four heavily armed members of an Islamic extremist militia who spoke no English but made it clear that Caldwell and the other Americans—Beth Rodden, 20, Jason Smith, 22, and John Dickey, 25—were being held captive. It was the beginning of an ordeal that would last six harrowing days and nights, ending only when the young climbers boldly turned on their guard, pushing him to his death from a high mountain ledge. "It's so hard to think about that now," admits Beth Rodden, now safe at home in Davis, Calif., of the group's drastic decision to take a life, "but we were afraid we wouldn't survive."
Yet if any group should know how to survive, it would be these four adventurers, experts in a style of mountaineering known as free climbing, in which minimal use is made of equipment. "Survival is something you train for," says Caldwell's father, Mike, 50, an elementary school teacher in Loveland, Colo., who introduced his son to climbing at the age of 3. Among them, the four climbers had made successful ascents in China, Europe, Africa and the Arctic and had known each other from years of competitive climbing on the same circuit. Together, Rodden, the daughter of a college administrator and an elementary school vice principal, and Caldwell, her boyfriend, had become the first to free-climb the Yosemite Valley's El Capitan using the daunting route known as Lurking Fear earlier this summer.
In hindsight that grueling 3½-week climb served as a mere warm-up for the ambitious six-week expedition to Kyrgyzstan, a rugged republic once part of the former Soviet Union. Their trip, financed in part by the North Face clothing and outdoor equipment company, was joined by Jason Smith, a designer for North Face, and John Dickey, a photographer hired by the California-based company to document the climbers' exploits. The team arrived in Kyrgyzstan's Kara-Su Valley by helicopter on July 27. There, between taking joy rides on yaks and teaching valley residents how to throw a Frisbee, they spent several days planning new routes up the basin's 2,000-ft. granite walls.
Two weeks later, on Aug. 12, the group had completed a day of tough climbing and were sleeping on portaledges—lightweight cots suspended from the rock face—when the shots fired from below suddenly woke them at 6:15 a.m. Dickey, the oldest climber, rappelled down the rock face in 30 minutes and discovered that the guerrillas, anti-government Islamic extremists from the neighboring state of Uzbekistan, who have been active in several countries in the region, had already ransacked the climbers' base camp and helped themselves to their shoes, jackets and food. Convinced that the rebels meant business, Dickey radioed his friends on the mountain to hurry down to the valley.
At first the climbers were concerned that the rebels might sexually assault Rodden, the only woman in their group, but the deeply religious guerrillas kept a respectful distance. "They didn't beat us," says Smith, a Utah native who now lives in San Francisco. Yet their treatment of a Kyrgyz soldier whom the rebels had also taken captive was savage. Just five hours into the hostage ordeal the rebels led the man behind a large boulder and shot him as the Americans lay nearby. Then, during a subsequent gunfight between the guerrillas and Kyrgyz troops, the climbers were forced to take shelter behind the boulder, where one of them, Jason Smith, had to sit on the dead man's body to avoid being caught in the crossfire. "They just seemed really cold-blooded about that," says Rodden, a tiny woman who lost 15 lbs. during the ordeal.
Two of the rebels disappeared without explanation one evening, leaving just their commander and a 20-year-old guard named Usuph. Together the pair ordered the Americans to hide under piles of brush during the day and marched them over harsh terrain toward the Uzbekistan border during the frigid nights. Until the rebels raided a hut on day four and returned with yogurt balls and a 20-lb. slab of yak butter, the entire group subsisted on six energy bars, which Rodden happened to have stashed in her jacket on the day she was captured, and drank muddy water from puddles. The climbers never gave up hope of a rescue, but as the days passed, the men in particular began to see escape as their only option. Says Smith: "I figured we had to do this ourselves."
Finally, at midnight on Aug. 18, after the commander had set off in search of fresh batteries for his radio, leaving just Usuph to mind the four captives, the Americans took action. What exactly happened is a matter that all four insist is still too painful to discuss, except to say that they pushed Usuph off a cliff. (Kyrgyz officials won't confirm whether a body was recovered, but Mycaev Aibek, a press aide to the country's president, believes the climbers' account is true.) Rodden will only add that the killing might have had disastrous consequences. "When we did that," she says, "I thought, 'Wow, we shouldn't have. If they find us now, they won't be merciful.' "
On that point, all of the climbers were in full agreement. Having scouted the region prior to climbing, the four promptly set off running in the direction of a Kyrgyz military outpost some 18 miles to the north. They arrived there four hours later, after narrowly dodging bullets fired by another group of rebels at close range. "We were really flying on the wings of angels," says Rodden. Finally, their ordeal was over; soldiers at the base provided warm clothes and food—"They were just awesome," says Rodden—and the following day the Americans were personally greeted by Kyrgyzstan's president, Askar Akayev, who flew them to the capital city of Bishkek aboard the Kyrgyz equivalent of Air Force One, a Yak-40 jet.
Today, none of the former captives holds anyone to blame for their ordeal, which they call an example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. "I don't think you can predict this kind of thing," says Jason Smith. Indeed, the attention focused on the climbers may well lead to corporate sponsorships that will make even more exotic expeditions a possibility. In which case, says Smith, they will all do well to remember the key to their survival. "When you go up on a rock with other people, you put your life in someone's hands," he says. "We had our lives in each other's hands."

This isn't a fun process. Basically, you have to completely exhaust yourself: you need to miss a night's (day's) sleep outright. Don't go to bed, stay up. You'll suffer fatigue but you need to stick it out. Do something to elevate your circulation (say, go for a vigorous walk) when you feel the most tired: this is probably/normally around 4 or 5 AM in my experience, and is usually accompanied by being coldness in the shoulders (for me).
You'll need to stay up until about 10 or so hours before you would need to get up for work; you'll need about 3 REM cycles, so figure out however long that'll be.
