Beer Week: Stubby's dinner with New Glarus founder, rare Hinterland brunch, Discount tasting extravaganza
Milwaukee Beer Week is approaching quickly — it's April 13 to 20 — but you'll want to be on top of several premier events that you could (should?) reserve seats for or buy tickets for now: a special five-course beer dinner with New Glarus Brewing Co. President Deborah Carey at Stubby's Gastrogrub, a one-time brunch at Hinterland, and the Discount Liquor Crafts & Drafts event, with over 200 beers available for tastings, some quite rare.

Kid Cudi shoots for the moon, but is slow to lift off
Kid Cudi was supposed to perform at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom Wednesday. Instead, the rapper's show was at U.S. Cellular Arena, because apparently, his stage show's production was so large it couldn't fit in the Rave's largest room.
We'd show you what it looked like — except, strangely, Cudi is prohibiting press photography on his current tour. But essentially, he gave his Milwaukee audience of a few thousand the moon. »Read Full Article(1)

Ziggler sells WWE by making opponents look good
For the novice wrestling fan, Dolph Ziggler is a small but athletic, bleached-blond World Wrestling Entertainment performer who has made tremendous strides in a sport that has traditionally been reserved for men with hulking physiques.
At 6 feet and 208 pounds, Ziggler is no slouch, but he's not going to overpower many of his opponents, either. However, what the man nicknamed the "Show Off" can do is flat-out wrestle. »Read Full Article(2)
Kane Place Record Club ramps up with debut album
Kane Place Record Club has amassed a sizable fan club in Milwaukee over the past two years, but for all the local gigs, the band didn't have any music to sell at shows.
That is, until late last month, when it packed Linneman's Riverwest Inn for a release party for its self-titled, full-length debut album, which also is available to stream, download and order from the Kane Place Bandcamp page. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'Ace in the Hole'
The Library of America recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories,' a two-volume boxed set of 186 stories arranged in chronological order.
In a post last week, I explained what's not in this collection and vented a little about that. Now, let's get on to the stories. I'm planning to read one or more a week and comment on them each Wednesday until I finish the collection or fall apart. »Read Full Blog Post
'Restaurant Impossible,' taping a show in Oak Creek, is looking for volunteers
The Food Network's "Restaurant Impossible" will tape an episode at Mike La Susa's Italian Restaurant in Oak Creek next week, and the show is looking for volunteers to help with the renovation of the restaurant.
The host, chef Robert Irvine, overhauls the menus and dining rooms of "America's most desperate restaurants," as the show puts it, in two days on a budget of $10,000 -- hence the need for volunteers. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
On Tap for Today: Symposium, sausages and soul
What are the issues facing men of color in Milwaukee? What do our community leaders have to say about these things? One of the things happening this Wednesday is a symposium at the Italian Community Center today promises to dig into these issues and also make a case for black male achievement in our city.
Speaking of learning, here is a class that you didn't take in college: Intro to Sausage Making. Dave Swanson the chef and owner of Braise Restaurant will run would-be wiener makers through the basics of grinding, stuffing and linking. The class is $55 and you'll want to call to see if there's still a spot. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Panama City Unmasked [PHOTO ESSAY]
Panama City is not like other cities in Central America. A unique mixture of modern skyscrapers and crumbling neighborhoods full of history.
I spent a couple months living in Panama City, giving me plenty of time to explore it's diverse streets. Central America's biggest metropolitan area is growing rapidly. It's often called "The Miami of the South". But many of the high-rise skyscrapers you see are actually empty or not yet finished.
The city center has moved a few times over the centuries after pirates like Henry Morgan destroyed it. In the past Panama City was also used as a Spanish base for gold exploration and the conquest of many countries, including Peru in South America.
In 1989 the United States invaded Panama, destroying parts of the city with bombing. The invasion's aim was to get rid of Panama's dictator General Manuel Noriega, who had worked for the CIA under President Bush for over 20 years as a paid informant (supporting foreign dictators seems to be a common theme for the United States).
In this photo essay I attempt to reveal the many different sides of Panama City. Enjoy! :)

Those are some really awesomes pics bro……i'm from india and hey why does everydone think of india as a country of shantyy towns and snake charmers???..think about it everyone….
martNovember 24, 2015
When I look at the amazing skyscrapers I find it hard to believe that they are paid for entirely by american junkies. I also see a very rich Jewish neighbourhood, other super-wealthy middle-easteners and notice that almost all the grocery stores thoughout the country are owned by Chinese and so on. Also, it seems that many of the skyscrapers sit empty.
Yes, I'm sure there's money laundering, but I bet it isn't all drugs. Anybody got an inside angle?
LautaroMay 19, 2016
Panama Papers! Lots of fachade companies from other illegal activities (like corruption), or legal ones, but to avoid paying taxes.
Darby of Green Travel AnticsJuly 30, 2015
Panama City is a crazy place! Some parts look kinda like Dubai, others look like a slum in India… Some streets are filled with expensive, refurbished mansions, but you turn a block and you're in the ghetto. The people were some of the friendliest that I met in Panama though… pretty unexpected for a big city!
Pissed WifeJuly 2, 2015
Es tan divertido como quieres publicar cosas bonitas pero nunca publicar las cosas verdaderas. Las mujeres en Panamá son putas y dormirán con los hombres estadounidenses de forma gratuita y o por dinero. Sé que es un hecho robaba Carmen Librada Bernal Cortes edad 27 lo hace para mi marido cada vez que vaya por ahí. ¿Por qué no decirle a ambos lados?
AuraMarch 26, 2014
You failed to show the various neighborhoods where most people live. You chose to only show shanty towns and poor people. By the way, every country has them. You said that you would show the real Panama; however, the photos are a poor representation of panama.
Cost of living is high, food is superb, people are warm, beaches are great, and it is HOT. For those of you who plan on visiting Panama, expect the very opposite of these pictures. You will be very surprised.
aruAAugust 28, 2014
mate chill it's not like you can do any better
RobertoJanuary 27, 2014
The Fish Market is my favorite. Beautiful colors and fantastic sea creatures and bored saleslady contrasts. Taking the standard canal tour next month. Will drop a few lines about that and maybe some notes from a Nicaraguan diary…
Matthew KarstenJanuary 28, 2014
The fish/lobsters there was all so fresh and delicious. I love how the local boats just pull right up and you can watch the whole process.
Marysia @ My Travel AffairsNovember 20, 2013
Great pictures, I was thinking about visiting Panama but wasn't too sure! But after those pictures I will definitely visit!
Matthew KarstenNovember 21, 2013
Panama is a very colorful & diverse country. Definitely check it out Marysia!
RaulOctober 29, 2013
I wonder how expensive Panama City is. I have been to Costa Rica many times and I know it is not cheap any more.
Matthew KarstenJanuary 28, 2014
It really depends what your limits are. I stayed at a decent hostel called http://www.mamallena.com/ for $13 a night. The colorful local buses are crazy cheep. It's possible to hang out there on a budget for a while.
AmandaOctober 12, 2013
I like the fish market photo best, because the composition is so elegant, yet most of us don't conventionally associate a fish market with elegance. Reminds me of Susan Sarandon in the movie Atlantic City. A good reminder to keep our eyes open and appreciate what's around us! Lovely photos, must be a great place.
Matthew KarstenJanuary 28, 2014
Glad you enjoyed that one Amanda. I think that's one thing photography has taught me, to keep my eyes open and really look for interesting moments that I might otherwise miss.
Maria BustananteOctober 12, 2013
I'm from Panama, it will NEVER be another "Miami" if anything simply because of its people. "The Diablo rojos" from the stand point of people having to use them daily weren't always a fun pleasant experience. Progress is many times unavoidable, things that don't stay the same can be better. Panama is and will always be a country of many contrasts and a few visits can't tell the tell of being born in that blessed land and capturing what Panama and being Panamian is, and I think that applies most countries one visits. By the way a lot of those buildings are occupied. Gracias.
Matthew KarstenOctober 12, 2013
I'm sure you have a completely different take on Panama growing up there Maria. It was just my observation after living in the city for a few months. I've also lived in Miami. Miami has plenty of great people too, and fun local Cuban & Haitian neighborhoods. But big-business & developers have taken it over, I just hope the same doesn't happen to Panama. Wouldn't want it to loose its charm.
I met Panamanians who were also sad to see the death of the Diablo Rojo buses. New buses are fine for those who want them, but I hope they don't completely wipe out the other ones.
SimonJuly 5, 2013
Beautiful photo essay. I particularly like the Old Casco Viejo Neighborhood and the last picture of the Squatter Buildings.
ClaudiaJune 20, 2013
I like the one of the diablo rojo best, hope they are still there when I go next year to Panamá.
Matthew KarstenJune 20, 2013
Me too Claudia! It would be a shame to get rid of such amazing works of art.
Ryan at Travel and GraphsMay 7, 2012
Best. Public Transport Bus. Ever.
Traveling TedMarch 22, 2012
I would not have expected Panama City to be this beautiful. Great shots.
AnjiMarch 21, 2012
I wasn't aware of the fact that Panama had such a huge gap between the rich and the poor. It kind of reminds me of a cleaner and less populated version of India. I found the lottery tickets extremely curous as well as the police car!
Matthew KarstenMarch 21, 2012
Yeah, it's pretty drastic. I didn't get many photos of the rich side either. There are bay areas filled with fancy yachts and restaurants, and then there are the squatters that live in the old city.
GlenSeptember 4, 2015
I appreciate the contrast, makes life interesting :-) I lived in Mexico City for 8 years and really enjoyed the diversity, of course with that came certain challenges. I would love to see some pics of the modern Panama to get a sense for what day-to-day life looks like if one were considering moving there …
Cheers & thanks for he essay,
MarkMarch 17, 2012
Nice pics, Matthew. thanks for sharing. Very colorful lobsters!
LanayaMarch 14, 2012
Very amazing shots indeed. You have very interesting pictures of Panama City.. From modern buildings to old ones! :)
Trish and ShawnMarch 12, 2012
I love the contrast of the city in the background with the older fishing vessels in the front. Nice job Matt, always love the photos. Now get out of that redneck bar in NH and start snapping. = )
Dean ForrestMarch 12, 2012
These are some of the most amazing photographs I've seen. I'm so tempted to visit Panama City.
Thanks for sharing.
debbieMarch 8, 2012
Emily D.March 8, 2012
Wow, it took me ages to load your post, but it was worth it! :) I love your colorful photos!
Matthew KarstenMarch 8, 2012
Thanks Emily! Yeah, I need to work on speeding my site up.
JuanMarch 7, 2012
Amazing photos. Love the one of the Diablo Rojo. I wrote a post about them recently. Having lived there for two years, what are your thoughts on the Diablos getting phased out?
Matthew KarstenMarch 8, 2012
Makes me sad. I always jumped on a Diablo Rojo before one of the newer buses. Panama City has so much character, I'd hate to see it turn into Miami.
Jade - OurOyster.comMarch 6, 2012
Great photos! I love the contrast between the modern high rises and the more delapitated buildings
Matthew KarstenMarch 8, 2012
Panama City is an eclectic place! :D
Bob RMarch 6, 2012
Nice shots. I really like the bottom two. Second from the bottom could be lots of places; have seen similar building in eastern Europe. Same uninspired utilitarian design. :)

As the hockey season is rapidly approaching, what better way is there to spend your weekend than with a bowl of popcorn and some cinema classics about our favorite sport?
This is not a list where you will see the Love Guru, Sudden Death or even the Cutting Edge (yuck). This is a "must see" list of movies with action, drama and laughs centering on the greatest sport in the world. Also, keep in mind this is a list and by no means are these movies ranked in any particular order.
Whether comedy, drama or documentary, these eight flicks (with their trailers included) will get you in the mood for a lot of hockey in the upcoming months.

Requirements for certification in Music Education
Students who want to teach music in elementary or secondary schools may prepare for teaching certification. This demanding curriculum requires completing a major in music, a major in educational studies, and several courses specifically designed for music education. Students who complete these requirements and who pass the State of Illinois certification tests are qualified for recommendation for certification.
Students interested in music education should contact both Professor Lane (Music) and the chair of the Educational Studies Department as early as possible. In order to complete the program in four years at Knox, students must begin in their first year. Specific requirements to prepare for certification in music education are as follows:

Chapter 4: Nagios Basics
Service checks are carried out regularly by Nagios, host checks only when needed. Although the check_interval parameter provides a way of forcing regular host checks, there is no real reason to do this. There is one reason not to do this, however: continual host checks have a considerable influence on the performance of Nagios.
If you nevertheless want to regularly check the reachability of a host, it is better to use a ping-based service check (see Section 6.2 from page 88). At the same time you will obtain further information such as the response times or possible packet losses, which provides indirect clues about the network load or possible network problems. A host check, on the other hand, also issues an OK even if many packets go missing and the network performance is catastrophic. What is involved here--as the name "host check" implies--is only reachability in principle and not the quality of the connection.
Nagios uses plugins for the host and service checks. They provide four different return values (cf. Table 6.1 on page 85): O (OK), 1 (WARNING), 2 (CRITICAL), and 3 (UNKNOWN).
The return value UNKNOWN means that the running of the plugin generally went wrong, perhaps because of wrong parameters. You can normally specify the situations in which the plugin issues a warning or a critical state when it is started.
Nagios determines the states of services and hosts from the return values of the plugin. The states for services are the same as the return values OK, WARNING, CRITICAL and UNKNOWN. For the hosts the picture is slightly different: the UP state describes a reachable host, DOWN means that the computer is down, and UNREACHABLE refers to the state of nonreachability, where Nagios cannot test whether the host is available or not, because a parent is down (see Section 4.1, page 72).
In addition to this, Nagios makes a distinction between two types of state: soft state and hard state. If a problem occurs for the first time (that is, if there was nothing wrong with the state of a service until now) then the program categorizes the new state initially as a soft state and repeats the test several times. It may be the case that the error state was just a one-off event that was eliminated a short while later. Only if the error continues to exist after multiple testing is it then categorized by Nagios as a hard state. Administrators are informed only of hard states, because messages involving short-term disruptions that disappear again immediately afterwards only add to an unnecessary flood of information.
In our example the chronological sequence of states of a service can be illustrated quite simply. A service with the following parameters is used for this purpose:
define service{
host_name proxy
service_description DNS
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval specifies at what interval Nagios should check the corresponding service as long as the state is OK or if a hard state exists--in this case, every five minutes. retry_check_interval defines the interval between two service checks during a soft state--one minute in the example. If a new error occurs, then Nagios will take a closer look at the service at shorter intervals.
max_check_attempts determines how often the service check is to be repeated after an error has first occurred. If max_check_attempts has been reached and if the error state continues, Nagios inspects the service again at the intervals specified in normal_check_interval.
Figure 4.4 represents the chronological progression in graphic form: the illustration begins with an OK state (which is always a hard state). Normally Nagios will repeat the service check at five-minute intervals. After ten minutes an error occurs; the state changes to CRITICAL, but this is initially a soft state. At this point in time, Nagios has not yet issued any message.
Now the system checks the service at intervals specified in retry_check_interval, here this is every minute. After a total of five checks (max_check_attempts) with the same result, the state changes from soft to hard. Only now does Nagios inform the relevant people. The tests are now repeated at the intervals specified in normal_check_interval.
In the next test the service is again available; thus its state changes from CRITICAL to OK. Since an OK state is always a hard state, this change is not subject to any tests by Nagios at shorter intervals.
The transition of the service to the OK state after an error in the hard state is referred to as a hard recovery. The system informs the administrators of this (if it is configured to do so) as well as of the change between various error-connected hard states (such as from WARNING to UNKNOWN). If the service recovers from an error soft state to the normal state (OK)--also called a soft recovery--the administrators will, however, not be notified.
Even if the messaging system leaves out soft states and switches back to soft states, it will still record such states in the Web interface and in the log files. In the Web front end, soft states can be identified by the fact that the value 2/5 is listed in the column Attempts, for example. This means that max_check_attempts expects five attempts, but only two have been carried out until now. With a hard state, max_check_attempts is listed twice at the corresponding position, which in the example is therefore 5/5.
More important for the administrator in the Web interface than the distinction of whether the state is still "soft" or already "hard", is the duration of the error state in the column Duration. From this a better judgment can be made of how large the overall problem may be.
For services that are not available because the host is down, the entry 1/5 in the column Attempts would appear, since Nagios does not repeat service checks until the entire host is reachable again. The failure of a computer can be more easily recognized by its color in the Web interface: the service overview in Figure 4.3 (page 66) marks the failed host in red; if the computer is reachable, the background remains gray.
Suggestion for the book
You might consider a quickstart guide in the book. Most people who purchase a book like this are interested in getting up and running, even in a minimal configuration, first... not memorizing a plethora of detail beforehand.
While manually going through the book, following step-by-step to configure nagios, the daemon complained because there were missing pieces such as defining 24x7 "somewhere" - that's not clearly explained. details like that which can throw a new reader off very easily.
Quote: Although the
Quote: Although the check_interval parameter provides a way of forcing regular host checks, there is no real reason to do this.
This is not true. Example: Mail Server serving up IMAP on port 143 goes DOWN due to having the power go out. When the machine gets turned back on the IMAP service is not turned on by default (or insert whatever scenario that would make the IMAP service non-functional now, iptables, hosts.deny, etc.). Nagios continues to check for port 143 listening on this server and NOT whether the machine responds or not. This machine will continue to show as DOWN as long as the service is non-responsive.
There are only two fixes that I have found for this. 1: Turn on aggressive_host_checking which will kill any machine with more than 1000 active service checks. 2. Use a host checking mechanism as a service. Preferably a quick one icmp packet check.
nice nagios tutorials
this is very easy installation and configuration for Nagios hope this will help more people installing nagios plugins and examples of how to use plugins

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Power-pop band Revolush conquers 'Stagefright'
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "All the world's a stage." But rocking a stage and acting on a stage are distinctly different experiences, said Tommy Hahn, 42, who performs with Skylight Music Theatre full-time and fronts the power-pop group Revolush in his spare time.
"There's quite the gang aspect to playing in a band vs. being in a musical," Hahn said. "In a musical, someone else sells tickets, you're in a group with 12 to 20 other people sometimes, and you have other people backing this up, like the orchestra and stage manager. In Revolush, it's basically four guys against everybody." »Read Full Article

THE 1992 ELECTIONS: STATES BY STATE; Northeast
Published: November 4, 1992
Gov. Bill Clinton took this state of disaffected voters, which had not supported a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1968.
President Bush apparently failed to win over the ranks of Reagan Democrats and moderate Republicans he needed to help him take the eight electoral votes in Connecticut.
Like much of the Northeast, the state lost hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the last decade. More recently, as the economy worsened, jobs in white-collar industries like banking and insurance also disappeared.
In the race for the Senate, two-term Senator Christopher J. Dodd, a Democrat, defeated a millionaire businessman, Brook Johnson.
Early on, Mr. Dodd seemed in danger of being washed away by the anti-incumbent tide, but he managed to leap far ahead of Mr. Johnson, a political novice, by campaigning constantly and mostly on one issue -- jobs.
Mr. Johnson ran as an outsider, labeling Mr. Dodd a big spender who voted to raise his own salary and catered to special-interest groups.
But Mr. Dodd countered that his experience saved the Seawolf submarine contract for Electric Boat, eastern Connecticut's largest employer, over the Administration's opposition.
PRESIDENT - 86% reporting Bush...506,261...36% Clinton...595,661...42% Perot...307,337...22% SENATE - 88% reporting Dodd (D)...792,063...61% Johnson (R)...506,871...39% DELAWARE...CLINTON
Mr. Clinton won Delaware and its three electoral votes, despite efforts by Mr. Bush to portray the Democrat's policies as dangerous to the state's chemical, banking and automobile industries.
Gov. Michael N. Castle, taking mandatory retirement after two terms in the statehouse, was well ahead of former Lieut. Gov. S. B. Woo, a Democrat, in the race for the state's sole House seat.
In the governor's race, Representative Tom Carper, a five-term Democrat, defeated B. Gary Scott, a retired real estate executive. PRESIDENT - 95% reporting Bush...96,466...36% Clinton...115,318...43% Perot...55,279...21% HOUSE - 94% reporting Castle (R)...142,738...57% Woo (D)...107,775...43% GOVERNOR - 94% reporting Carper (D)...165,256...65% Scott (R)...85,276...34% MAINE
With half of the precincts reporting, Mr. Clinton held an 11 percentage point lead over Mr. Bush in the state where the President and his family have long spent their summers. Mr. Perot was falling only one percentage point short of sending the President into a third-place finish in Maine, where four electoral votes were at stake.
Mr. Bush's support fell even in Kennebunkport, his family's summer home, as the weekly newspaper endorsed Mr. Clinton.
In a rematch of their 1990 contest Representative Olympia J. Snowe led Democrat Patrick K. McGowan,who was set back by the Green Party candidate, who won 8 percent of the vote.
Early returns also showed Thomas H. Andrews, a Democrat, crushing Linda Bean, a Republican and heiress to the L. L. Bean fortune. She spent over $1 million -- including $900,000 of her own money -- on the race. PRESIDENT - 50% reporting Bush...96,879...30% Clinton...131,440...41% Perot...93,218...29% MARYLAND...CLINTON
Mr. Clinton scored an easy victory in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a margin of more than 2 to 1. Expecting as much, President Bush put little energy into the state, which carries 10 electoral votes.
Mr. Perot finished a distant third.
Maryland voters affirmed a law guaranteeing abortion rights. The law, passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor last year, guaranteed the right even if the United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, which established abortion as a Constitutional right.
An anti-abortion group, the Vote Know Coalition, had collected enough signatures to keep the law from taking effect until it was put to a popular vote.
Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, a Democrat, won easily over Alan Keyes, a black Republican who had accused the party of racial bias, saying it had not funneled enough money to his campaign.
PRESIDENT - 81% reporting Bush...490,738...36% Clinton...678,925...50 Perot...195,907...14% SENATE - 88% reporting Mikulski (D)...1,018,838...71% Keyes (R)...413,348...29% MASSACHUSETTS...CLINTON
Mr. Clinton was not beloved by Massachusetts Democrats. He came in third in the Massachusetts Democratic primary, behind both a native son, Paul E. Tsongas, and Edmund G. Brown Jr., and he failed to win a single delegate. But this state is a Democratic stronghold, where only 14 percent of the voters consider themselves Republicans and 45 percent prize their independence.
Anti-Bush feeling was so strong that the state that had twice supported Ronald Reagan before voting for Michael S. Dukakis, another native son, gave Mr. Clinton its 12 electoral votes.
Reapportionment increased the political problems of two Congressional veterans. Representative Joseph D. Early, a nine-term Democrat who had written 140 overdrafts on his House bank account, had to cope with a district in which half the voters were new. He faced State Senator Peter Blute, a conservative Republican.

Every Person Will Have At Least 5 Terabytes Of Data In The Year 2020 0 commentsDec 13, 2012 11:15 PM
According to the research findings of universe study, in the coming eight years, data is likely to increase drastically, by how much to be exact? Estimates produce a ball park number of around forty zettabytes, when you do the math; it comes out at around 5,200 gigabytes of data for every man, woman, and child on this planet.
If you like most other intelligent beings on this planet have no idea how large forty zettabytes actually is? Then it's safe to say that you're no computer geek. Jokes aside, so let's get serious. 40 zettabytes when converted to gigabytes comes out to 40 trillion gigabytes of data, now those are some serious figures. To go further into details, this data will likely be 57 times larger than all the grains of sands on this globe. Experts predict that if such data is to grow at this level, data should be doubled every two years starting from the year 2020.
If you are thinking: "If I am alive in 2020, I probably still won't be using that much data anyways". Yes, you are right. The fact of the matter is that most of your data will be produced by machines as servers dynamically exchange information from each other.
According to experts, today only a tiny percentage of your data will be of any relevance; however, by 2020, 33% of your data will be relevant and will contain vital personal details about you.
What classifies as data?
As we are well aware that the cyber world is filled with data, so what is data? Data can be classified as your digital photographs, videos, your facebook pictures, YouTube videos, linked in profile, and even high-resolution HD-TV content broadcasted over a satellite and into your television screen. Moreover, your simple daily activities may involve some form of obtaining and exchanging data whether you know it or not. For example, conducting a simple transaction from your ATM machine involves the use of data.
Just with data alone, a lot can be predicted about a person. Doctors can detect whether one is at an increased risk of cancer by analyzing a patient's medical records; in criminal investigations, faces can be linked through face detection technology and that person can then tracked through their social media profile; an e-criminal can hack through your computer and steal your credit card and social security numbers. The point is that too much data can be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. The key lies in managing data by encrypting it and by managing personal data with data security software engineered to lock folders which contain critical personal information.
Signs leading to intensified data usage:
Think of it this way, for every terabyte that belongs to you, expect to own 14 times more by 2020. Most folks familiar with IT trends are well aware of this phenomenon. Servers around the world are expected to grow at least ten fold by 2020 as predicted by IT experts.

Brown wings are an honour bestowed to a good chap who has had anal sex with a female (human).
Brown wings have an 'expiry time' of twelve months and are revoked after that period unless you keep up your 'air-time'. This constitutes at least one trip up bourneville boulevard from the initial date that you joined the Brown Squadron. Failure to do so will see you grounded,and no airman wishes that upon himself. Sticking your finger up her bum does not qualify you as a holder of brown wings, you will only be ranked as air cadet for this particular feat.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Rain is falling and only a couple hundred diehard fans are willing to stand outside and watch the first day of New York Jets training camp Friday morning at SUNY Cortland.
New head coach Rex Ryan has the team in full pads. The stadium lights are on.
Running back Leon Washington, who's said to be close to a contract extension, is on the field. He didn't report to the college campus about a half hour south of Syracuse with the rest of his teammates.
The school's athletic complex features separate football and soccer fields with artificial surfaces. So the soggy conditions haven't hampered the morning session aside from slippery footballs.
Practice is supposed to wrap up at around 10:30 a.m. ET. I'll talk with some players and Ryan shortly thereafter. The afternoon practice is scheduled to begin at 4:10 p.m. Rain is in the forecast for most of the day.

On the 7th Day of Christmas… I'm going to show you how to make a cute Danish Nisse out of cedar logs. (See all 12 Christmas projects HERE)My mother-in-law is from Denmark and hubby and I were lucky enough to take the kids there to visit a few summers back. Here's a picture from our trip. That's hubby, his uncle, and cousin, and his cousin's family. Smart Jr has the brown hair and that's our little Lulu when she was two.
Over the years I've learned a little about Danish Christmas traditions and hubby and I were happy we to make my in-laws these cute Nisser for Christmas. My brother's in-laws got one too! What the heck is a Nisse, you ask? The Nisse (pronounced nissa) is a mythical creature of Scandinavian Folklore and differs from the American Santa Claus. Instead, "nisser" are elves or gnomes with long colorful hats. While the name "Nisse" probably derives from St. Nicholas, these old figures are believed to exist long before the birth of Christ. The Nisse associated specifically with Christmas is "Julenisse" (Yule Nisse), who looks pretty much like Santa Claus. The "Julenissen" bring presents to all the nice children on Christmas Eve. But they are not as shy as Santa Clause, and deliver the presents themselves, and don't come down the chimney in the middle of the night.
Here are a couple of sources for more info: Stavanger-Web, Wikipedia, My Danish KitchenThese two bigger Nisser hang out on our staircase platform and we have a small Nisse that sits near our kitchen window, but he's not as high maintenance as the Elf on Shelf. You can touch him and play with him. According to my MIL the regular Nisse (or Tomte in Sweden) stays with the family year-round and can be quite mischievous. He can be known to break things or turn milk sour. Huh, now I know how that stuff happens.It's a good idea to bribe the Julenisse, especially if you've been bad, by making his favorite Risengrød (rice porridge). Our family follows this tradition, as we begin every Christmas Eve meal by eating rice porridge at my in-laws. Even Lulu likes it! My MIL hides an almond in the porridge and whomever finds the almond in their bowl gets a prize. This year it was a fleece blanket for the winner and marzipan for the runners-up. Yum!
How to make wooden Nisser:
1) Cut logs to length (whatever length you choose) and then slice one end at a diagonal. I used cedar logs because I had them, but there's no reason you can't experiment with other wood species.2) Paint the top 1/4 red and the bottom 1/2 white.3) Add eyes. I just did a black dot of paint, but you could do googly eyes or something else. 4) Add a nose. I used flesh-colored pompoms for one set and white on the other, but a red nose would look cute too.5) Tie a pretty ribbon around them – my ribbon was recycled from my mom's Christmas gifts the year before.
You can do one Nisse by himself…
Or group them together for even more impact.
Happy New Year everyone! Our tree is coming down tomorrow. 🙂

text: I. Case Study - The IT Department at ABC College As part of the effort to upgrade the IT capabilities at ABC College, the institution initiated a program over five years ago to dramatically increase the size of the IT department while focusing efforts toward data management and improving administrative functions. As part of the upgrade, ABC Colleage hired a new vice president of information systems, Dan Gray, and gave him wide latitude in identifying problems and initiating projects that would result in improving the IT system campus wide. Dan also was given the final power to determine the development of new projects, which power to determine the development of new projects, which allowed him to filed requests form the various college departments, determine which needs were most pressing, and create a portfolio of prioritized projects. Within two years of his arrival at ABC, Dan was overseeing an IT department of 46 people, divided into four levels: (1) help desk support, (2) junior programmers, (3) senior programmers, and (4) project team leaders. There were only four project team leaders with majority of Dan�s staff working at either the entry-level help desk or as junior programmers. In the past three years, the performance of Dan�s department has been mixed. While it has been responsible for taking on a number of new projects, its track record for delivery is shaky; for example, well over half the new projects has run past their budgets and initial schedules, sometimes by over 100%. Worse, from the college president�s perspective, it does not appear that Dan has a clear sense of the status of the projects in his department. At board meetings, he routinely gives a rosy picture of his performance but seems incapable of answering simple questions about project delivery beyond vague declarations that �things are moving along just fine.� In the president�s view, Dan�s departmental track record is not warranting the additional funding he keeps requesting for new equipment and personnel. As an independent consultant, you have been called in to assess the performance of Dan�s department; in particular, the manner in which it runs and monitors the development of its project portfolio. Your initial assessment has confirmed much of the college president�s initial hunch: The ongoing status of projects in the IT department is not clearly understood. Everyone is working hard but no one can give you clear answers as to how the projects being developed are doing. After the fourth �Oh, fine� response you received from project leaders to your questions on the status of their projects, you realize that they are not being evasive; they simply do not know from day to day how projects are progressing. When you ask them how they determine project status, the general consensus seems to be that unless the project team leaders hear bad news, they assume everything is going fine. Further, it is pretty clear that even if they were to spend more time monitoring ongoing projects, they were to spend more time monitoring ongoing projects, they are not sure of the types of information they should be collecting that would help them develop better on-time project racking and control. Questions: 1. As a consultant monitoring this problem, what are your proposed solutions? To what degree has Dan�s management style contributed to the problems? 2. What are some of the types of project status information you could suggest they begin to collect to assess the status of their projects? 3. How would you blend �hard data� and �managerial or behavioral� information to create a comprehensive view of the status of ongoing projects at ABC College? II.

Busy, Smart and Strong: Eat better in March
I personally have always liked vegetables.
Probably because I grew up eating lots of them as a child because we lived in the country and my parents and everyone else around had a huge garden.
