UNC squares off against its second sizeable opponent in three games, Georgia Tech. This game is even more important in that the Yellow Jackets are currently sitting first in the ACC Coastal Division with a 2-0 record—one of which was a 38-14 conference win against dook. Even though it is early in the season, UNC fans need to take Georgia Tech very seriously. They're currently 1st in the nation in the "Points Against" category at 7.0 per game, 3rd in the nation in the "Points For" category at an average of 54.0 points per game, and 3rd in the nation in "Rushing Yards" at 356 yards per outing. UNC will need to focus on the following five keys to victory to beat a very strong Yellow Jacket squad...

Cobham SATCOM partner Tototheo has deployed a SAILOR 900 VSAT system in support of the Cyprus Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Larnaca and the large-scale multinational search and rescue (SAR) exercise 'NEMESIS 2015'. The exercise took place within the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Cyprus on 1st July. Air and naval search and rescue units as well as personnel from Cyprus, the State of Israel, Greece and the USA took part.
The objective of NEMESIS 2015 was to simulate the planning, preparation and execution of a multinational joint search and rescue exercise designed to prepare the teams for effective response in search and rescue missions and other humanitarian operations in the region.
The exercise involved a number of air and sea craft including: nine warships, an oil platform, an oil tanker, antipollution vessels, two Port & Marine Police ships, four helicopters and two airplanes. The scenario itself was divided in four phases and dealt with a serious accident in open sea, within an area where oil and gas rigs are operating along with their supporting vessels.
To enable the greatest learning from the exercise, a SAILOR 900 VSAT antenna system supplied by the team at Cobham SATCOM in conjunction with their partner Tototheo, was installed on the EDT Flying Enterprise offshore supply vessel. With the world's most advanced and reliable antenna of its class on board, the official camera crew were able to transfer live high definition video footage of the exercise to coordinators and stakeholders in the rescue coordination centre.
"With the help of the robust, reliable SAILOR 900 VSAT system from Cobham SATCOM combined with iDirect technology, we were always confident that we could enable great coverage of the exercise at the best possible quality, based on the 1 m antenna link budget," said Eugene Vardas, VSAT specialist at Tototheo Trading ltd. "We couldn't have achieved this without the reliability and precision of the SAILOR 900 VSAT system."

WHEN THE MARINES decided to buy a helicopter-airplane hybrid "tiltrotor" called the V-22 Osprey, they saw it as their dream machine. The tiltrotor was the aviation equivalent of finding the Northwest Passage: an aircraft able to take off, land, and hover with the agility of a helicopter yet fly as fast and as far as an airplane. Many predicted it would reshape civilian aviation. The Marines saw it as key to their very survival.
By 2000, the Osprey was nine years late and billions over budget, bedeviled by technological hurdles, business rivalries, and an epic political battle over whether to build it at all. Opponents called it one of the worst boondoggles in Pentagon history. The Marines were eager to put it into service anyway. Then two crashes killed twenty- three Marines. They still refused to abandon the Osprey, even after the Corps' own proud reputation was tarnished by a national scandal over accusations that a commander had ordered subordinates to lie about the aircraft's problems.
Based on in-depth research and hundreds of interviews, The Dream Machine recounts the Marines' quarter-century struggle to get the Osprey into combat. Whittle takes the reader from the halls of the Pentagon and Congress to the war zone of Iraq, from the engineer's drafting table to the cockpits of the civilian and Marine pilots who risked their lives flying the Osprey—and sometimes lost them. He reveals the methods, motives, and obsessions of those who designed, sold, bought, flew, and fought for the tiltrotor. These stories, including never before published eyewitness accounts of the crashes that made the Osprey notorious, not only chronicle an extraordinary chapter in Marine Corps history, but also provide a fascinating look at a machine that could still revolutionize air travel.

MySuites purchased this apartment in 2009
This is truly a perfect apartment in a perfect West Village location, a true New Yorker experience.
We include all the comforts and convenience of an apartment and also offer the luxury services of a boutique hotel, all in an stylish interior designed by MySuites.

The Salt Delux Suite was just what I was looking for, very much "the Village" style. Comfortable, large windows facing the street, quiet, well equipped, good wifi and on the first floor. Kristin and Martín very friendly and helpful with early check in and late check out. I will rent ir again on my next trip to NY.
I stayed in NYC for one month for business. I didn't want to stay in a hotel as I wanted to live and experience NY as a local. For that I choose to work with MySuites for my accommodation. The guys from MySuites were very helpful, they were very communicative, they gave me a good rate and a complementary car service from and to the JFK airport. The apartment was what I expected it to be: cozy, comfortable and clean. The photos on the MySuites website are realistic, so no surprises on that. It was located in Christopher Street, a fantastic neighborhood, West Village. It's a very dynamic and colorful neighborhood with lots of restaurants, bars, etc. The only thing I need to mention is that in Christopher street at night there are a lot of people gathering to have fun, so sometimes it can get noisy. But hey, this is NYC. I met with Leonardo, the man behind MySuites, he's an inspiring entrepreneur with a vision on hospitality. For Leonardo and all the people in his team: great job, you made my stay in NYC a success. I felt at home in the apartment. My next stay in NY will be again at MySuites.
We Just left a review for another suites managed by Mysuites, as our stay was split into 2 different apartments.
Both great apartments,but the Salt suite is truly perfect.
Fully renovate on a black and white color scheme. Pictures are exactly what you find, even the flowers!
As said in teh other review, MySuites provided a greta service, but what i recommend most about this apartment is teh Location: unbeatable.
There are no hotels or apartments of this style, even by far around Bleecker street.
very impressed.
I just spent a week at Mysuites.net in New York and I must say that staying in a stylish appartment really makes the 'big apple' experience complete. As I was in NYC for work purposes, having an inspirational and homely suite really makes work a lot more relaxed.
I travel for work frequently and I would recommend any style minded travelers to stay at Mysuites, it's definitely the only vacation/work rental in New York that is able to combine stylish suites apartments with the services of a boutique hotel.
I just spend a week at mysuites.net New York City and I must say that I wouldn't want to experience staying in New York any other way. Working in the cultural sector means I like inspiring spaces and locations. Staying in your own stylish appartment in NYC doesn't only make you feel at home it also makes combining work and fun a lot easier.
I travel from Amsterdam to New York frequently and I would reccomand any style minded travelers to stay at Mysuites, it's defenitely the only vacation rental in New York that combines stylish appartments with the services of a boutique hotel
There is no better way to experience NYC then from your own cozy appartment in the middle of the buzzing old town. The suite is comfortable and checking in was smooth, personal and easy. It is situatred close to the metro, with a starbucks on the corner. So got that latte, hopped in the metro and explored town like locals do.
Located in the heart of West Village, a stroll from Perry street in a landmark building, on one of the most beautiful trees lined streets.

Posted on 06/22/2014 7:59:20 AM PDT by don-o
BLUE BELL, Pa., July 26, 2012 Unisys (NYSE: UIS) announced today that it has been awarded the Enterprise Storage Acquisition task order from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide private cloud-based storage for the agencys information records.
This task order, awarded against GSAs Alliant Government-wide Acquisition Contract, has a one-year base period and nine one-year options and is potentially worth up to $139 million over 10 years, if all options are exercised. It includes pricing for each year based on the IRSs estimate of its storage requirements.
Under the task order, Unisys will initially acquire storage assets now owned and managed by IRS and will manage the more than 7.5 petabytes of storage space currently in multiple IRS data centers and facilities. Unisys will then plan, build, deploy and maintain a new IRS storage environment, transitioning those assets to a private cloud-based storage-as-a-service model in which the agency will pay for storage capacity as needed.
(Excerpt) Read more at unisys.com ...
Think of this... Suppose that there is a hostile work environment or racial bias lawsuit, and plaintiff asserts evidence was in specific emails from a specific time frame. How long would it take for a sharp lawyer in front of a judge to compel production of same or convincing and documented PROOF that it could not be produced?
I'm going to say "Twenty four hours or less."
The Obama Administration will Prove that Computers are Useless ,All Data Backup Is Totally Useless etc etc ,LOL
I see the date of this is 7/26/12. Did they only get the contract for a year?
Issa should grab these back up etc companies before Obama Admin Blows Them up
I'm not 100% sure this is the same IRS/Unisys contract.
Ted Davies talks longevity, Unisys' comeback
Ted Davies has spent nearly six years at the helm of Unisys Corp.s federal business, and in that time frame has become one of the longest serving leaders of a major federal business in the market.
WT: How is the shift to the cloud changing the market?
Davies: As a systems integrator, you used to think: Im going to take these four technologies, put them together and deliver them. Now, you might be taking different providers of different services and integrating them. Its a new role for the systems integrator.
The business model is different. In the past, youd accumulate your cost, add your fee, and there it is. Now agencies want to pay by the drink.
WT: Can you give me an example?
Davies: The IRS uses huge amounts of storage and they want to keep data in their own data center. But we won a contract in 2012 to provide storage to them on a consumption model.
With our partners, we buy storage equipment and put it on the floor at IRS. We manage the entire storage environment, but they only pay by the storage they consume. In the past, they were buying tons of boxes and sticking them on the floor whether they used them or not.
WT: But that means you are bearing the upfront costs?
Davies: Its an interesting model. It shifts [the agencies] capital expense dollars to operating expense dollars. They just write us a check each month for the storage they use.
For contractors, it affects your balance sheet, and it affects the way you bid and the way your cost of capital accumulates. Its a big shift, but we are figuring it out.
Weve learned a ton on the first couple of these weve done, and weve gotten better. We dont have it slam dunk down yet, but I think were ahead of some of our competitors.
The IRS calls this a 10-year partnership, and our leadership is fully engaged in delivering, and I think that is a competitive differentiator for us.
Option to renew on a yearly basis.
Cloud storage is not brand new. There is some evidence in the Sonasoft revelation that it has been used for a while. Unisys also got a piece of it.
How much more is there?
Where is the IRS vault? Don't they do redundant?
They could have hired Ed Snowden for a couple mil and a boxcar-load of flash drives...
As d Boehner & crew won't mind a bit. It's not as if they're out to defend conservatives' rights.
I can see why the IRS needs more money ,90% of the employees are hunting down and Destroying Data
many thanks for posting this!
all y'all, ping to this one also!
another company to subpeona....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Pick the big one. Some IRS employee from 2008 to 2012 was sending and receiving Child Pornography!
Think that would be recoverable?
Does the name Bernie Schwartz ring any bells?
Sorry, I just have the feeling that Issa's heart is not in this. Or perhaps he's a victim of the Peter Principle?
This is from 2007 from
Third, CDW has recently saved the IRS millions of dollars by eliminating its use of IBM tapes in favor of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. These devices, which are no bigger than a tissue box, store the equivalent of over 1,500 tapes, providing a fast, secure means of transporting data between mainframe centers and the CDW environment. By using NAS devices, CDW staff are now able to move, stage, process, and load data in less than one tenth the time it took when using tapes. Finally, CDW has been an important part of a renewed effort by the IRS to develop a modernized data architecture to support enterprise transaction, operational, and warehousing needs. CDW is managed by a small organization with a limited budget but is having a big impact on IRS enterprise decision making.
SO, in 2007 IRS was moving away from tape storage. Yet in 2014 they state (under oath) that they are reusing tape cartridges every six months.
The whole thing is a cover-up of who Lerner was sending emails to and what their response was to her.
And .. I'm guessing .. Valerie Jarrett's name is mixed in with some of those emails; or another of Obama's handlers.
Correct. The plant in Pueblo was Sperry, then Loral, then Unisys.
Loral was accused of transferring technology to China in 1996. The incident arose as a result of an investigation into the launch failure of Intelsat 708, a Space Systems/Loralbuilt satellite. In a 2002 agreement with the State Department and Department of Justice the company agreed to pay $20 million in fines to settle the matter and to improve its compliance procedures. In the agreement Loral officials neither admitted nor denied the government's charges, but Loral executives acknowledged "the nature and seriousness of the offenses alleged by the department in the draft charging letter, including the risk of harm to the security and foreign policy interests of the United States", and stated that they wished to make amends through the payment of restitution. Schwartz subsequently released a statement accepting "full responsibility for the matter" and portrayed the incident as an error by a single Loral employee.
I'll bet the IRS leaders are scared to death. Can you imagine the conversation?
We really don't want my name to appear anywhere in this investigation, do we? How are the kids these days...?
Someone found - recovered it- or no one would know about it !
If these people get away with this, I will conclude that rinos were part of the targeting of conservatives. We know from there own comments and actions in primaries and general elections, that rinos would rather democrats win than conservatives. Conservatives will not vote with rinos like democrats will.
We keep talking about a third party. If republicans continue to "let" democrats have their way, there is no reason to stay with them. Republicans never fight dirty like democrats do, (we want to be friends with the other side of the aisle) except against conservatives. We might have to start from scratch to take our country back, but staying with republicans is just knocking your head on the wall. We are only hurting ourselves. It's time to use common sense and stop believing the lies.
woah, many thanks for finding this!!
all y'all, ping to this most informative post!!!!
And .. Im guessing .. Valerie Jarretts name is mixed in with some of those emails; or another of Obamas handlers.
Or obama himself?

First went in 2009 and thought it was good, even bought a £1000 greenhouse whilst there. Went a couple of years later and it was really poor. Im now glad I didn't go this year, and I doubt I'll ever be going again until I hear its had a massive kick up the arse.

You'll be doing crop circles next LF!
Ha ha
Im also using it as a guide for my planned pond. I was planning one in the corner of the garden but I'm now liking the idea of having a circular one in the centre of the garden, about the same size as the circular lawn patch. I'll be removing the remainder of the grass and turning it all to planting.

Im still having fun changing how I mow the lawn, today I've left a circle of longer grass, a ring of shorter grass around it, and then mowed everywhere else even shorter, with a mowed path running through it. Should look better in a few days as it was still wet when I cut it....

Leadfardmer how have yiu got hydrangea flowering ? Mine just starting to grow
It never flowers very well to be honest Lily Pily, maybe because its in a planter. Its east facing and only gets sun in the mornings?

Thanks Busy-Lizzie, Ive still got to find a permanent home for those potted oak tree saplings. Maybe when they are too big/heavy to move I will get around to trying to move them!!

Ive been a bit more relaxed with my gardening this year, not being as tidy as I normally am. Ive purposely let the lawn grow in areas for wildlife, and generally just let things be themselves. Though I do need to weed the patio paving.
Heres a few photos, some plants are clearly going over, some yet to come...
Im pleased people have enjoyed their visits to GW Live. I first went around 2009 and enjoyed it, even bought an expensive greenhouse whilst there. I returned a couple of years later and thought it was a very poor show, hardly anything there and I haven't been back since. Seems like its returned to being a good show?
Just the two hanging bird feeders on my bird table, mostly with sunflower hearts. I refill them about once a week..

CHICAGO – The old man as macho action hero trend has finally calcified. If you haven't seen either of the two previous "Expendables" pictures – this is definitely not the place to start. Sylvester Stallone's creaky franchise hits rock bottom.

CHICAGO – Like most instances in Hollywood these days, one gun-filled, explosive, action-packed film is never enough; not when a sequel can be made that promises the same exciting sequences and macho heroes. That is why it is no surprise that Lionsgate has given the green light to a sequel for the 2010 film "The Expendables," titled "The Expendables 2," and two of the biggest action stars of all time will join the fun.
