President Obama is condemning an attack on Turkish soldiers by a Kurdish rebel group, an act that has now prompted a Turkish incursion into northern Iraq to pursue rebel sanctuaries.
"The United States will continue our strong cooperation with the Turkish government as it works to defeat the terrorist threat from the PKK," Obama said in a statement, using the local acronym for the Kurdistan Workers Party.
As the White House issued the statement, the Associated Press reports that "Turkish soldiers, air force bombers and helicopter gunships launched an incursion into northern Iraq on Wednesday, hours after Kurdish rebels killed 24 soldiers and wounded 18 in attacks along the border."
"Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan canceled a visit to Kazakhstan and held a nationally televised news conference to announce that Turkey had launched the 'hot pursuit' operation, wording that officials often use to describe cross-border offensives in northern Iraq," the AP reported.
The AP provides background on the long-running battle between the Kurds and the Turks:
The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984 as Kurdish politicians push for greater cultural and political rights for Kurds, who make up around 20 percent of Turkey's 74 million people. The Kurdish demands include the right to education in the mother tongue, but the Turkish government fears could deepen the country's ethnic divide.
The government has taken steps toward wider Kurdish-language education by allowing Kurdish-language institutes and private Kurdish courses as well as Kurdish television broadcasts. But it won't permit lower-level education in Kurdish.
The European Union, which Turkey is striving to join, has pushed the Turkish government to grant more rights to the Kurds. But EU countries also have urged Kurdish lawmakers to distance themselves from the PKK, which is considered a terrorist group by the United States and the EU.
President Obama's statement in full:
The United States strongly condemns this morning's outrageous terrorist attack against Turkey, one of our closest and strongest allies. On behalf of the American people, I offer my condolences to the families of the victims and to all of the Turkish people.
The United States will continue our strong cooperation with the Turkish government as it works to defeat the terrorist threat from the PKK and to bring peace, stability and prosperity to all the people of southeast Turkey. The people of Turkey, like people everywhere, deserve to live in peace, security and dignity. As they pursue the future they deserve, they will continue to have a friend and ally in the United States.

Don't let his worried, wrinkled little face fool you: The Pug is laughing inside. He's laughing at you and with you -- and he's also trying to make you laugh. These dogs live for fun, which is the secret to their enduring popularity. Bred as companions for Chinese nobility, today they're fulfilling their ancient function as beloved house pets. To their many admirers there is simply nothing like a Pug.
Embraced since 2009
Embraced since 2010
These are undeniably lovable dogs, bred for centuries for their wonderful dispositions. He's never happier than when spending time with his human family, often following them from room to room. He is welcome wherever he goes, with a handsome, smooth coated frame in shades of tan, gray, and black and with a black mask accenting his sweetly wrinkled face.
Pugs are usually good with other dogs, cats and children. Bigger and hardier than many small dog breeds, they can even withstand a bit more in the way of rough play, as long as it's supervised and doesn't get out of hand. Because of their relatively large size and easy-going temperament, they're wonderful with children and perfect for an on-the-go family, as long as you realize they're not designed to be a jogging companion or a beach bunny.
Compact and well-muscled with an endearing little ring of tail, a pug should ideally weigh no more than 20 pounds. Many pugs weigh more, owing to their skill at begging for their owners' meals. This trait too often leads to obesity, which can add to the already significant health burden these solid little dogs are born with.
Lively, love-bug dispositions aside, the Pug has been bred to be much less healthy by the show-breeder's focus on features such as a smaller size, flatter face and an overabundance of wrinkles. Heat-intolerance comes with the territory: Even temperatures as low as 80 degrees can be dangerous to these breathing-challenged dogs, which means a Pug must live indoors and have air-conditioning available in all but the mildest summers. This is not a breed that can live outdoors.
If you're careful to mind his special needs, the Pug is an easy-care pet. Their short coats shed, but their grooming needs are modest. They don't need a great deal of exercise -- nor can they tolerate it – but it's important to keep them lean, fit and mentally challenged, especially when they're young. Because of their great love for their people, care should be taken to accustom your Pug to being alone so he doesn't develop excessive anxiety when by himself.
Like many small dogs, Pugs can have the hip deformity known as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, which reduces the blood supply to the head of the rear leg bone causing it to shrink. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association in 2002, Pugs are 65.6 times more likely to be at risk for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease compared to all other dogs. The first sign of the disease, limping, usually appears when the puppy is 4 to 6 months old. It can be treated with surgery to remove the head of the leg bone, after which the puppy will have a relatively normal life other than an increased likelihood of arthritis.
Pug kneecaps often easily slip out of place, a condition known as luxating patellas, which may require surgery to correct. Also, they frequently have serious dental problems because their teeth are crowded into their flattened face.
Pugs have a high incidence of a liver defect known as "portosystemic shunt," which can only be treated with expensive surgery. According to a study published in JAVMA in 2003, with a 1.3% prevalence rate, Pugs are 26.2 times more likely than all other breeds to be at risk for portosystemic shunts.
Pugs can also suffer from a number of neurological problems including
epilepsy, but the most frightening of all diseases that can strike the
breed is the one known as "Pug Dog Encephalitis," or PDE. This is an
inflammation of the brain that causes seizures and death. There is no
cure and no way to prevent this condition. The Pug Dog Club of America
is aggressively supporting research into the cause of PDE, and it's
currently believed to be a genetic disease.
There are no genetic screening tests available at this time for
hemivertebrae or PDE, but a good breeder will tell all prospective
puppy buyers about any affected dogs in your puppy's ancestry.
Many small dogs have trouble with their airways, but this problem is much worse in the flat-faced – or shall we say "Pug-nosed? -- Pug. Breathing difficulties are extremely common, especially in hot and humid climes, and most pugs snuffle, snort and sneeze constantly. They also snore. Pugs with severe breathing problems will need corrective surgery.
His flat face also means the Pug has many different kinds of eye problems, so regular veterinary eye exams and staying alert for signs of vision problems or scratched corneas is simply part of good Pug ownership. So is constant attention to keeping his wrinkles and folds clean, as Pugs tend to get a lot of skin, ear and nose infections caused by bacteria and yeast growing in the folds. Their tendency to allergies makes this problem worse.
Their flat faces cause more than skin, eye and ear problems, unfortunately. They are also associated with a condition known as hemivertebrae, where the vertebrae – the bones of the spine – are deformed. Affected dogs start showing signs at around 4 to 6 months of age, with limping, staggering and a lack of coordination. Some puppies become paralyzed. Surgery can be helpful, but each case is unique and requires expert evaluation by an orthopedic specialist.
Pet insurance for Pugs costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Pugs are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Pugs are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Pug is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

Here's the deal with quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah"), since so many people seem to think it's totally different than a grain. If it looks like a grain and acts like a grain (not to mention tastes like a grain), it's a grain. And quinoa contains some anti-nutrients that other grains contain, such as phytic acid, lectins, and saponins.
Read those links for more info on all of those anti-nutrients, but basically phytic acid binds to minerals in your gut and carries them out unabsorbed, and lectins and saponins contribute to gut permeability, or leaky gut. And like other grains, even if quinoa is properly prepared, meaning it's soaked and cooked for an adequate amount of time, some of those substances will still remain.
Now for some people quinoa is fine, just like some people with guts of steel really can deal with rice or other grains. But for others with more compromised guts and therefore sensitive immune systems, quinoa may not be ok. They may have digestive symptoms or skin irritation or asthma or fatigue after eating it, just like they would with other grains.
Also, quinoa isn't exactly God's gift to high protein foods, as some people would like to think. Some even eat a cup of quinoa as their "protein" portion on their plate, and that's just erroneous. A cup of cooked quinoa contains 8 grams of protein. A cup of white rice contains just under 5 grams. Three ounces of lean beef contains about 25 grams of protein…
I don't think quinoa is inherently bad. I just think that after a lifetime of eating improperly prepared, highly glutenous refined grains, pasteurized dairy, toxic seed oils and tons of sugar, a lot of people have compromised guts and immune systems and they can't handle these foods like native people who've never eaten those kinds of Westernized foods. That's all.

I'm not going to be mad at anyone for eating it if they like it, can handle it, and want it. But don't try to act like it's an awesome food – There are better alternatives for any of the benefits anyone claims to get from Quinoa.
Thank you for this! Now, how about a post regarding chia seeds? They seem to be all over the news lately and I am wondering if they fall in the same category as quinoa.
In the grand scheme of things, I believe eating some quinoa here and there is not bad for you. Nuts and seeds, which are touted on the Paleo diet as a good fat and snack can be higher in phytic acids than quinoa.
With any diet where on consumes foods with phytic acid (which are many), making sure one is getting their fat soluble vitamin intake of A, K and vitamin D is key.
Agree with Graham. There are people who can tolerate many types of food and those who will eat these foods regardless. If you want to eat them that's fine but many of these gain-lite foods aren't really part of the picture if you are aiming for optimum health.
I used to eat quinoa all the time – it was my favorite grain. After going paleo for 3 months, I decided to try to fold it back in. I ate about one cup of quinoa with a dinner that was otherwise paleo, and ended up with the equivalent of a horrible hangover for the better part of the next day, including vomiting from the headache pain. Makes me think back to all those migraines and general headaches I used to deal with and that my "good for you" foods may have actually been contributing to my pain. I have tested white rice too, and can deal with it with much fewer consequences. But quite frankly, I've come to the conclusion – why bother?
Quinoa isn't a grain (it's gluten-free), it is technically a seed and related to spinach and beets (though I agree with the anti-nutrients). Please don't generalize for the sake of a witty sentence. While most that look and quack like a duck are in fact ducks, some just mimic …
Completely erroneous way to approach this topic. "beef contains 25 grams of protein…" i wont even go into that fallacy . Paleo people are a new breed
There is certainly a lot to know about this topic. I love all the points you
So if no.nuts/seeds what can we snack.on? I was rather surprised that one paleo site suggested 1/4 cup of almonds – that's a heck.of a lot, can barely fit.them.in.my palm. I did it this afternoon and have bloated as if I'd eaten rice! And have stomach ache! Am.trying lemon muffins now made with coconut flour – quite yum, very lemony.and only small so thats a good thing! Substuted honey with coconut nectar as less carbs/sugars. Expensive though as 1/4 cup used for 8 little muffins but its satisfying my sweet craving.
I've read your posts on "no legumes" and understand it, but I saw that "unless these are pressure cooked", I love beans and I pressure cook mine, would it be ok to eat them say once a week? I'm not looking to lose weight but reduce inflammation.
You did everything but answer the question! Paleo or no ? Confused !

AppDomain.CreateInstanceFrom Method (String, String, Object[])
Creates a new instance of the specified type defined in the specified assembly file.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public ObjectHandle CreateInstanceFrom( string assemblyFile, string typeName, Object[] activationAttributes )
- assemblyFile
- Type: System.String
The name, including the path, of a file that contains an assembly that defines the requested type. The assembly is loaded using the LoadFrom method.
- typeName
- Type: System.String
The fully qualified name of the requested type, including the namespace but not the assembly, as returned by the Type.FullName property.
- activationAttributes
- Type: System.Object[]
An array of one or more attributes that can participate in activation. Typically, an array that contains a single UrlAttribute object. The UrlAttribute specifies the URL that is required to activate a remote object.
Return ValueType: System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjectHandle
An object that is a wrapper for the new instance, or null if typeName is not found. The return value needs to be unwrapped to access the real object.
Implements_AppDomain.CreateInstanceFrom(String, String, Object[])
assemblyFile is null.
assemblyFile was not found.
typeName was not found in assemblyFile.
The caller does not have sufficient permission to call this constructor.
No matching public constructor was found.
The caller cannot provide activation attributes for an object that does not inherit from MarshalByRefObject.
The operation is attempted on an unloaded application domain.
assemblyFile is not a valid assembly.
Version 2.0 or later of the common language runtime is currently loaded and assemblyFile was compiled with a later version.
An assembly or module was loaded twice with two different evidences.
This instance is null.
The default constructor for typeName is invoked.
The activationAttributes parameter is related to client-activated objects; see Client Activation.
For more information, see the Activator.CreateInstanceFrom method.
When the CreateInstanceFrom method is used to create an instance in a target application domain, other than the application domain from which the call is made, the assembly is loaded in the target application domain. However, if the instance is unwrapped in the calling application domain, using the unwrapped instance in certain ways can cause the assembly to be loaded into the calling application domain. For example, after the instance is unwrapped, its type information might be requested, in order to call its methods late-bound. When the assembly is loaded into the calling application domain, exceptions can occur.
If another version of the same assembly was previously loaded into the calling application domain, or if the load path of the calling application domain is different from that of the target application domain, exceptions such as MissingMethodException can occur.
If the calling application domain makes early-bound calls to the instance type, InvalidCastException can be thrown when an attempt is made to cast the instance.
- FileIOPermissionAccess
for the ability to access the location of the assembly. Associated enumeration: FileIOPermissionAccess.PathDiscovery
- FileIOPermissionAccess
for the ability to read the file containing the assembly manifest. Associated enumeration: FileIOPermissionAccess.Read
- WebPermission

Michelin Primacy RFT is flat, where to go?
Yesterday my TPMS advised that I had loww pressure on my front right tire, I checked and the tire had no air at all, so I drove home, aproximately 65 miles.
I can no see a nail, bump or puncture on the tire, but I need to take in for repair/replacement, where is the best place to go, BMW dealer or tire dealer?
The replacement costs $500 from Tirerack, I am afraid the dealer will want a lot more, and no, I do not have Tire Insurance
Maybe your dealer would give you the BMW CCA discount?
How many miles and months on your Michelin tire?
Get out the DVD that came in your owners manual pouch and read the Michelin tire warranty.
This happened to one of my Goodyears at 8,000 miles (picked up a screw in the tread) and a Goodyear store repaired it under warranty at no charge.
I don't believe Michelin has any road hazard coverage, but they have been known to "help out". I would contact them, explain the situation and, ask them for a local dealer. Michelin: 1-866-866-6605 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (M-F) (Eastern Time).
Hope that can work out for you.
Perhaps you should consider carrying a small compressor with you for next time. My TPMS light goes on when the tire is down 4 psi. I was up in the mountains last week in the middle of nowhere and my TPMS light came on - I was glad I had my compressor. You could use one to inflate the flat and drive it watching the TPMS and stop and refill as necessary so you don't have to buy a new tire next time. This is what I have and it is super quiet and powerful:

IRVINE, Calif. --- Coming off a loss in which the 'Eaters gave up an early lead, UCI men's tennis avenged losing the doubles point this time to earn its third win of the season Thursday afternoon at Anteater Tennis Stadium.
The visiting Bulldogs of Gonzaga staged a minor comeback in doubles. Tyler Pham and Jacob Jung scored a win in doubles, but Gonzaga's Nos. 1 and 3 each rebounded to win and earn the doubles point for Gonzaga.
UCI (3-12, 0-1) started off singles well with wins in five of the six first sets. Pham and Jung followed suit from doubles to take their singles matches in straight sets and give UCI the brief 2-1 lead.
Ryan Cheung was unable to hold his first-set advantage falling in three sets tying the match back up at 2-2.
The remaining matches all went into a third set with Caryl Hernandez breaking the tie with a come-from-behind victory, his first as an Anteater.
After Gonzaga tied it back up, Jonathan Hammel stepped up to put them away which included a marvelous forehand, cross-court slice to propel him for the clinching point.
UCI ends its four-match losing streak to go to 3-12 overall and 3-2 at home this season. UCI will next tackle a tough doubleheader on Saturday as two ranked opponents invade Anteater Tennis Stadium. No. 45 George Washington starts it off at 9:00 a.m. with the 35th-ranked MTSU Blue Raiders stepping in at 1:30 p.m.

ROCKVILLE, Md. An advisory panel of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention has recommended standardizing prescription labeling so patients can more easily understand the instructions, USP said.
USP, a nonprofit organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality and purity of medicines in the United States, cited Institute of Medicine statistics indicating that limited health literacy affects 90 million adults, thus reducing their ability to benefit from the healthcare system.
"Patients have the right to understand health information that is necessary to safely care for themselves and their families," USP Health Literacy Prescription Container Labeling Advisory Panel co-chairwoman Joanne Schwartzberg said. "Confusing medication labels is one area that can be improved considerably. As most of us who have ever received a prescription drug know, the contact and appearance of medication labels can vary widely."
Recommendations included simplifying language on labels by eliminating unfamiliar terms and unclear medical jargon, using explicit language to describe dosing and interval instructions and improving readability by using clearer fonts.

5 Online Safety Resolutions for the New Year
Jan 1, 2013 9:00am
Happy New Year!
One of our goals at the National Cyber Security Alliance is to empower people with tools and resources to stay safer online. So we've created a list of five, easy New Year's resolutions so that everyone can have a safe and secure 2013.
And we promise, these won't be nearly as hard as losing those extra pounds!
Resolution #1: Keep a Clean Machine
This resolution rings especially true for anyone who got a new computer, tablet, smartphone or gaming device this holiday season!
All Internet-connected devices need protection from malware. Having the latest software, web browser, operating system and anti-virus protection are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
An easy way to remember to do this is by enabling automatic updates. Many software programs will automatically connect and update to defend against known risks. Turn on automatic updates if that's an available option.

Does this scenario sound familiar? You're in a coffee shop, hotel, or maybe an airport. You see there's free Wifi available, so you connect on your phone or computer. You check email, maybe log onto a social network. It may be convenient, but you're leaving yourself vulnerable to hackers and at risk of identity theft.
Instead, make a resolution to get savvy about Wifi hotspots. If you're on an unsecured network, limit the type of business you do (in other words, don't do anything that requires logging in with a username and password or entering personal information). It's also a good idea to adjust the security settings to limit who can access your device.

We know this applies to expired food in your fridge, but it's a good cyber hygiene tip, too.
Links in email, tweets, social media posts, and online advertising are often the way cybercriminals compromise your computer. If it looks suspicious, even if you know the source, it's best to delete it, mark as junk mail or just ignore it.

Resolution #4: Own Your Online Presence
Did you know you don't have to rely on default settings on social networking websites?
This New Year, make sure you set privacy and security settings on websites to your comfort level for information sharing. If you've done this in the past, double check your settings to make sure they're still right for you. There may also be new options available.
Remember, it's okay to limit how and with whom you share information.
(Image courtesy of Shutterstock)
When banking and shopping, check to be sure the website is security enabled. Look for web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://", which means the site takes extra measures to help secure your information. "Http://" is not secure.
If you're shopping from a mobile device, remember that a 3G/4G connection is safer than shopping over an unsecured Wifi connection. (But you already knew that from Resolution #2, right?)

A Minute With: Julianne Hough talking "Burlesque"
By Zorianna Kit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Julianne Hough is best known for her fancy footwork on hit reality television series "Dancing With the Stars." She's won twice, with speed skater Apolo Ohno and with race-car driver Helio Castroneves.
Now the 22-year-old has set her sights on acting, and this week, she made her feature film debut in the musical "Burlesque." She plays Georgia, a dancer at a club who befriends the newest member of the group, played by Christina Aguilera.
Hough spoke to Reuters about working with her famous co-stars, Aguilera and Cher, her future film projects and recording her second country album.
Q: Your first feature film, and you're working with Cher, Christina Aguilera and Stanley Tucci. Was it intimidating?
A: "It was intimidating, but to have them be such genuine, sincere and amazing human beings made the intimidation go away. Yes, I was nervous at first, but it switched over to friendship really quickly."
Q: What moments in the film stand out in your memory?
A: "My scene with Cher in the bathroom. The things she said to me were like, wow. Afterwards I ran and wrote about it in my journal. I also got to go to Christina's house and sing in her studio, which is so cool because I grew up idolizing her."
Q: You have red hair in 'Burlesque,' but you're naturally blonde. Why the switch? Continued...

This report examines public policy effects on historic neighborhood school expansion, renovation, and replacement needs. It addresses four basic questions:
Children are becoming fatter which has serious implications for their health. One reason is their decreasing levels of physical activity. This is related to their lifestyles and reductions in the amount of walking. This note illustrates these effects and draws conclusions about children's physical activity and car use.
This Power Point presentation covers the following topics and more:
The walking bus is the latest safe, fun and healthy way to travel to and from school. Each walking bus had an adult 'driver' at the front and and an adult 'conductor' bringing up the rear. The children walk to school in a group along a set route picking up additional 'passengers' at specific 'bus-stops' along the way.
This guide for schools on travel plans takes account of our integrated transport policy to reduce car dependency, particularly for short journeys. It also builds upon the many good practices already in place in schools up and down the country. Safer Routes to School is the centerpiece of the Government's transport proposals for schools and the key to turning the practical steps in this guidance into action on the ground.
The SHAPE (Safe Healthy Active People Everywhere) Resource Manual to support the Active and Safe Routes to School program in Alberta is designed to provide information, resources and ideas for school communities to encourage their students to walk or bike to school.
The materials in this guide will enable you to establish a successful and ongoing Safe Routes to School Program at your school-and to ultimately enhance the safety and health of your community for years to come.
This website is full of information on the California Walk to School Program. The site discussed the current program and encourages other schools and communities to join in. The homepage promotes International Walk to School month and discusses different ways to participate.
One page on the website is dedicated to improving drop-off and pick-up zones at schools. The most recent factsheet, "Improving Drop-Off And Pick-Up Zones," is available for download free of charge.
The Michigan Surgeon General's Healthy School Environment Recognition Program is designed to recognize and applaud schools that are making significant improvements in their environment related to healthy eating, physical activity, and tobacco-free lifestyles. Michigan's Governor and Surgeon General want to motivate and empower Michigan schools to "step up" and create healthy school environments.

AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Richmond men's basketball team had a seven point lead with six minutes to play, but UMass came back to defeat the Spiders 70-65 Sunday afternoon at the Mullins Center.
In a curious sequence that cut the seven-point lead to two points in 21 seconds, UMass guard Chaz Williams made a three-pointer with 5:26 on the game clock and 25 seconds on the shot clock. The shot clock was not reset after the made basket and the Spiders realized this about 18 seconds into the possession (with 7 seconds on the shot clock).
Thinking Richmond still had plenty of time to shoot, Kendall Anthony was 30 feet from the basket and had to rush to the basket with the UMass student section counting the shot clock down. Anthony was called for a reach-in foul on the rebound that would put UMass on the foul line for 1-and-1.
Despite getting pleas from head coach Chris Mooney with 7 seconds left on the shot clock, the officials let the play continue and allowed everything to stand after looking at the monitor. UMass made the two free throws to cut the lead to two, and after a Spider missed jumper, the Minutemen tied the game on the next possession.
Richmond did not lead again in falling to 13-8 and 3-3 in the Atlantic 10. UMass improve3 to 13-5 on the year and to 3-2 in league action.
Off the bench, sophomore Wayne Sparrow tied his season-high with 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the floor. Junior Cedrick Lindsay added 12 points for the Spiders while senior Greg Robbins chipped in 10 to go with six assists and four rebounds.
Richmond returns to action on Wednesday when the team heads to Philadelphia to face the Temple Owls. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

NEIL YOUNG was delighted to see his team move within two points of top spot in the Conference North league table.
Young, celebrating his 38th birthday and his 100th league game at the helm, watched the Blues grab a 1-0 victory at Gloucester City courtesy of a Nathan Jarman goal.
"There was a lot of soul searching after our 2-0 defeat on Wednesday night at Worksop in the FA Trophy," Young admitted.
"But I told the players in training on Saturday that our season starts from here and I was so pleased to see them respond.
"I thought we could have been 2-0 or 3-0 up in the first half because their goalkeeper made some good saves. We hit the woodwork and we cut them open, and we looked absolutely tremendous.
"We got the ball down and played and Antoni Sarcevic was allowed to play a lot higher up the pitch.
"Craig Curran played well and Nathan Jarman worked well down the middle and took his goal well. I just thought our general play was so good."

A new study from Symantec shows cloud computing has completed the rite of passage toward technological adulthood: The majority of potential customers say they're disappointed in cloud computing, but have not dropped plans to adopt it.
The cycle of hype from overinflated expectations to the cold bath of reality is so predictable and, in many cases, so dramatic, Gartner has made a whole business out of diagramming the rise, fall and rise of a statistically average, generically successful technology and sticking technology buzzwords in various places along it.
Cloud computing, as Symantec's survey of 5,300 companiesand Gartner's infographic both show, have crossed over the Peak of Inflated Expectations and is heading down into the Trough of Disillusionment.
That's actually a good thing for cloud computing, which caused a good portion of the potential customer base in IT to confuse the two realities any technology presents.
The happy, shiny one that shows up in airline magazines, shows how much easier it will make everything for business units and end users, on whose desks would appear a big, red button they have only to push to accomplish a hundred times more than they could by lifting bales or toting barges (figuratively) all day.
The reality for IT was always that someone had to go find a big, red button that could do users' jobs for them without getting them laid off.
Figuring out what technology that button should control, how it would work, how it would connect all the other parts of the corporation together in ways that were only possible before by having an actual person do the work (let alone figure out what that person did all day, how, and how much of it actually needed to be done), has been the challenge of the Preventers of Information Services pretty much forever.
Cloud computing made everyone think it would suddenly be possible to buy a big, empty box they could open inside the data center to make all the complications of information technology go magically away.
Most of the hype was because some of the real benefit of cloud rinses IT with the same holy water as it does end users. But not all of it, and not without a lot of work.
Plugging in to Gmail or Salesforce.com or any other external application built, maintained, tuned, secured and guaranteed by someone else is easy.
Plugging in to complex, expensive data centers someone else builds and maintains should also be easy, unless you want it to do what you want it to do, rather than just sit there, blinking its lights, spinning its disks and waiting to be told what to do.
Choosing, installing, customizing, securing and connecting data to applications you would like to sit in a cloud maintained by Microsoft or Amazon or Rackspace is a lot less work than it would be in your own data center with software you have to write yourself.
It still takes a lot of work.
Guess what? Technology isn't magic; it's mechanics
If you want to rent a whole data center instead of just space for a few of your own apps and servers, it takes just as much work to design, configure and implement as it would if you were doing it in your own data center. It may be cheaper and easier in the long run because you're not spending nearly as much capital to buy the hardware, hire the data-center crew to maintain it or even commit long-term to much of the cost.
It will certainly be a lot less work than building your own data center, and may work better, more efficiently and with better performance than you can manage.
It will not stay up 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, forever.
It will not run without losing a bit of data, exposing you to a shred of risk of data breaches coming from either inside the organization or outside, or requiring that your technology staff spend a lot of time tuning the networks, hardware, securing the data, writing custom interfaces, queries and functions for end users.
The cloud will not eliminate the headaches or work IT has always done to make boxes filled with semiconductors do things that seem important to people who don't even know where the servers live.
If you design it correctly, if you implement it well, if you train your staff to manage the resources that go into your system, cloud computing can make IT far more powerful without necessarily having to build or buy a lot of extra power.
It can let you push computing power at apps that suddenly become memory hogs, see where the heavy users of data or applications really are and move both to locations physically closer to them – slashing lag time without changing a thing about how the apps or data work.
Disappointment caused by contradictory expectations
Symantec's survey shows three quarters of organizations are talking about moving to cloud computing in some form, though only 20 percent have finished even their initial cloud projects.
Eighty eight percent of those surveyed said they expected cloud would make them more agile.
Only 47 percent found that to be true.
Disappointing, unless you realize cloud is a large-scale technology that only works as efficiently as it's supposed to when it's spread out across a large area.
It's a matter of scale.
More than three-quarters of Symantec's respondents said their staff doesn't have the experience to complete a cloud project.
No kidding. And only 20 percent of you had finished one so far?
This is surprising?
Eighty seven percent of respondents said moving to the cloud will either improve their security or leave it the same, but it was also the point on which respondents felt most insecure.
New technology; new problems. No surprise that the security issues aren't fixed yet, but the basic technologies underlying cloud computing are not brand new.
Wide-area networking, virtualized servers, networking, remote-access, shared-resource applications are all common and well understood with IT world.
How to do them securely within a specific cloud environment is not.
Cloud itself comes up short in some ways; it's too young to have developed the kinds of safeguards required for many companies.
But it's not a complete beginner. Private clouds are easier because you can control access, but that's why most large organizations are using external clouds only for non-critical applications.
They know they have to work out the security issues before the use the new resources.
Disappointment due to inflated expectations of IT
An astonishing number of high-level IT people seem insecure about how far they've advanced in cloud computing because there's so much hype about it, they just assume everyone else is farther ahead than they are, according to Sean Hackett, Research Director at The 451 Group.
Talking to senior-level IT people at large organizations it's clear most companies are still wrestling with how to build their internal virtual-server and virtualized-application infrastructures most efficiently.
Once they finish that, then they plan to spend serious time working on cloud, he said.
Virtualizing servers changes the structure of all the applications and servers in IT, because none of them can count on the others being where they're supposed to be. Virtualization means mobility, not dependence on the location of hardware.
All the apps, networks, access lists, security, directories and database managers IT has ever built depend on physical location. Virtualization wipes that out and forces IT to figure out how to most efficiently arrange both the virtual servers and the traffic they draw.
Cloud will make that worse, and better. Eventually.
Disappointment that cloud is not a miracle
Every new technology is hyped as a miracle, but cloud computing managed to fog the eyes of even cynical, experienced IT people because its whole purpose is to behave as if it is a miracle.
Resources appear magically wherever they're needed, data travels to find the questions it needs to answer, servers pitch in with whatever work needs doing.
Done right, theoretically, that's all possible.
However miraculous that seems, cloud is not a big red button on IT's desk.
IT never gets to have the button on its desk.
IT gives other people the button.
IT is the button.
Cloud looks like a button, even to IT, but it will only work if everyone, including the one who gets to keep the button, builds all the machines that do the work the button is supposed to do.
That means automating a lot of what IT people do haphazardly, while putting out fires and answering endless questions from business units.
IT has no idea what-all it would have to automate to make that red button work.
That's why IT people are disappointed in cloud.
First they have to figure out what they do, then figure out how to automate it, then build all the systems to handle the automation, then make sure they're all secure, reliable and cost efficient.
By the time everything is in place to make it work, they're all going to be too tired to push the button.

Huffington Post Promotes Holocaust Denier Website
The Huffington Post published its second article about a "Saturday Night Live" sketch about Chuck Hagel's Senate hearings to determine whether he would be Secretary of Defense. At the bottom of every Huffington Post article, there is a section titled "Around the Web," which is essentially a collection of articles from different news sources covering the same news story, news sources that are usually sites like the New York Times, Salon, and the Washington Post.
So what news sources were determined to be so relevant to this sketch article that they were added to the "Around the Web" section?
Observe the third and fourth links from the top of the list of links. They are to David Irving's website. David Irving, in case you are not aware, is a notorious Holocaust denier, anti-Semite, and racist.
This is not the only time the Huffington Post has done this. In October of 2011, an article's "around the web" section contained some links to Stormfront, the neo-Nazi website, and in November of 2011, it linked to the Institute for Historical Review.
Why is the Huffington Post promoting the official websites of racists, neo-Nazis and Jew haters? Is this what a mainstream Internet newspaper does?

How disgusting. It's not a coincidence either that Huffington Post hired a Palestinian descendent born in USA who is a rabid antiZionist to host/produce HuffPost Live... Ahmed Shihab Eldin, & Mehdi Hasan, the political director of the Huffington Post UK, Hamas apologist. Recall Eldin as you have astutely mentioned retweets antisemites tweets and believes in one state solution. And how can we forget the likes of Sharmine Narwani, 'dignity rockets" and Ahmed Moor, who use to blog on H.P. When it comes to comment section, it's remarkable how many anti Semitic comments happen to get by the moderators. Some reason no other ethnic or religious group have such hate comments directed at them, get by the moderators. I guess it's a blind spot the moderators just can't overcome. H.P. is as objective as Stormfront. No real surprise.ReplyDelete

Despicable. The Huffington Post is despicable.ReplyDelete
In spite of links to these sources, interesting that they don't include any of those sources
at the bottom of their front page, under Links: News Sources.
"BDS" should be against HP. There should be an all out campaign to boycott the bigotry, racism and hatred that is the Huffington Post.
Not only that, but three links to Mondoweiss too.ReplyDelete
Hey guys we've started to employ a slight comment policy. We used to have completely open comments but then people abused it. So our comment policy is such: No obvious trolling or spamming. And be warned: unlike the Huffington Post we actually enforce our comment policy.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – After their combined efforts helped the seventh-ranked Merrimack College field hockey team punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament Semifinals with a 4-3, overtime victory against Stonehill on Saturday afternoon, the trio of sophomore Christine Zubkus (Dover, N.H.), classmate Madison Davis (San Jose, Calif.) and freshman Nicole Bradley (Essex, Mass.) each were named the Northeast-10 Conference Player, Goalkeeper and Rookie of the Week, respectively, on Tuesday afternoon.
Each helped contribute in a significant way during the Warriors' thrilling overtime win over the fifth-ranked Skyhawks, with Zubkus tallying the game-winning goal, Bradley accounting for the game-tying marker late in regulation, and Davis backstopping the Navy and Gold to the win.
Trailing by a goal with under eight minutes to play, Bradley, who has caught fire over the last five games with 12 points in that span (after recording just one in her previous 14), registered the most important goal of her young career at the 62:43 minute mark of the contest, taking a feed from senior Candace Waldie (North Andover, Mass.) and scoring on a scramble in front of the cage to tie the match at 3-3 with just under eight minutes to go.
Those heroics would send the contest to overtime, where Zubkus would emerge as the hero just more than eight minutes into the sudden-victory session. On a penalty corner, Zubkus took a pass from senior Jessica Otis (Pittsford, N.Y.) and buried it to send the Warriors into the National Semifinals for the third year in a row.
Meanwhile, between the posts, Davis was rock solid and limited one of the nation's most potent offenses to three goals – including one on a penalty stroke – while facing nine shot shots on target. The San Jose, Calif., native improved to 13-3 on the year while moving her goals-against average to 1.46 and save percentage to .742.
The Warriors will next face third-ranked and unbeaten LIU Post in the NCAA Semifinals this Friday, Nov. 23, at the U.S.A. Field Hockey Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va. First whistle is set for 12:30 p.m., as Merrimack aims to advance to its first-ever NCAA Championship game with a win.

This is a great site, I just received my conceal carry permit recently and am really interested in becoming an advocate for the benefits that gun and arms ownership has in a community. I am an owner in a company that produces paintball markers and grenade launchers for the paintball market. I am currently working on some other weapons to be used for home defense but on a less lethal scale.
I am a family man with a beautiful wife and three girls, 15, 13 and 9. Thus the need for a weapon to keep the boys away Anyway I look forward to being part of this community.

6955-20 12-Inch Sliding Dual-Bevel Miter Saw Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. 800/729-3878 milwaukeetool.com Street price: $690
At 65 pounds, the Milwaukee 6955-20 is a big miter saw — but big material calls for a big saw. Like most saws in its class, moving it requires two hands.
Though the 6955-20 is weighty, it's not unwieldy. In fact, it's surprising how smoothly the saw operates. Its head rolls like a dream on slide rails, and its soft start reduces the initial jolt of the 15-amp motor.
The saw has a couple of features to help with precision. A 1/10-degree miter-angle fine adjustment makes it easy to change a miter angle just slightly and then accurately repeat it. And although it's a simple idea, my favorite feature might be the two lights, one mounted on each side of the blade. I've always thought carpenters deserved to see their cut lines, especially when existing light is bad.
When it comes to actually cutting through wood, this saw is a winner. Right out of the box, the 90-degree crosscut needed no adjustment. It has all the usual detent settings and can easily crosscut 2x12s and 1-by up to 14 inches and can miter a 2x10. The 12-inch blade will cut nearly 5 inches deep across most of the crosscutting range of the saw.
Because the motor is placed above and behind the blade, the saw can cut full 2-inch stock 6 1/2 inches tall. I'm not sure when a deck builder would need this capacity, though, unless for an occasional inside job working with big base molding.
The saw's bevel adjustment is in the rear, which at first seemed like it might be less convenient than having it in the front, as some competing saws do. However, the large, flat lever handle was easy to engage and disengage, and the rear bevel adjustment proved to be no inconvenience at all. The beefy 3/8-inch-thick steel depth stop is reassuring for a saw this size and flips out of the way for intermittent use. Its thumbscrew adjustment feels secure and comfortable.
Worth noting is dust collection that actually collects sawdust — not everything but most of it — which is a big improvement over saws I've used in the past.
I don't have much to nitpick about. The blade guard whacked my thumb a few times as I lowered the blade until I learned to keep out of its way. And the manufacturer-supplied, 60-tooth, ATB blade was nothing to brag about, though it was fine for framing material. But all in all, the Milwaukee 6955-20 is a great new saw.

Clamp Holds Hangers While You Nail
by Mike Guertin
HangerPal Joist Hanger Tool HangerPal 207/460-4588 hangerpal.com Street Cost: $5.95 plus shipping
Some of the most useful tools I carry in my tool bags are the simplest: a hammer, a mini pry bar, a knife, a pencil, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver — and now a HangerPal.
A HangerPal is a U-shaped piece of spring steel that clamps metal hangers to joists in a flash. For years, I held hangers with one hand and shot in nails from a metal-connector gun in the other. With every trigger pull I wondered when my luck would run out and I'd get a misfire in a finger. Sure, I could drive in the hanger tangs for a temporary hold, but the opposite side always seemed to pop off when I fired in a nail.
The HangerPal eliminates that safety problem and speeds production. The ends of the U are flared and slip right up from the bottom of a hanger that's positioned around a joist end. A stiff push with your hand seats the HangerPal, clamping the joist hanger in place whether you're driving nails pneumatically or by hand.
The slender spring-steel rod snuggles right up against the flanges, so it doesn't obstruct any of the nail holes. It takes three seconds to position and clamp the joist hanger with the HangerPal and one second to remove it.
You could make do with just one HangerPal, but I find working with three or four lets me clamp on a series of hangers within reach of my gun and nail them all off. Then I set up on the next group of joists.
My only gripe is the color — black. Drop your HangerPal in deep grass and you'll be hunting for a while. I got wise after losing one the first day out and painted the remaining three bright orange.

Lightweight Titanium Utility Bars
TiBar 12 and TiBar 16 Stiletto Tools 800/987-1849 stilettotools.com Street cost: TiBar12, $170; TiBar 16, $250
Yeah, they're expensive. But you know what? They're lightweight — and I suspect I'm not alone in having reached an age when strapping on my toolbelt means that by the end of the day my legs hurt and my back aches. Shaving ounces is a mission.
My regular old steel cat's paw weighs a pound, and my flat bar weighs 1 1/4 pounds. The TiBar 12, at 15 ounces, weighs in only slightly lighter, and the TiBar 16 — at 2 pounds — weighs more; however, the TiBar is more versatile than either of my steel bars and can do the job of both.
A TiBar pulls nails the same way a cat's paw does: You drive the sharp end of the bar into the wood under the nail head. Also, it has a second puller that works like a flat bar for nails whose heads are proud of the wood. And finally, a set of parallel jaws fits around 2-by stock, providing a grip to lever twisted joists straight.
Both TiBar models have a hammer head as well; the one on the TiBar 16 has a replaceable steel face. I'm a bit dubious of the hammer head, but then again, why not? I'm sure that my tendency to use the tool in hand for the task at hand means it will see some service.
Clearly, given my mission to lighten the load in my toolbelt, I'm not going to carry both of these tools around. For building decks, though, tossing my cat's paw and my flat bar in favor of a TiBar 12 seems a no-brainer. It's lighter than its big brother and perfectly suited to deck framing. And it takes a smaller bite out of my wallet, the one place I don't mind some extra weight. — Andy Engel

Call me crazy, but I just put in WallMart Super Tech 5w-30 synthetic in my 94 325i with 63,000 on the clock. just bought it when it had 61,000 and don't know what oil was used but seems it was always serviced at a BMW dealer. Have used Super tech oils for some time, in hard driven snowmobiles and a WRX Suberu etc. with very good results. These oils meet the highest BIA (for 2 cycle oils) and API SF rating etc. SINCE BMW now says 5w-30 is good, why not ? Actually Super Tech is from Penzoil, maybe not a Mobil one , but not an off brand either. The Subie engine with turbo and 230 hp is certainly higher stressed than the BMW naturally asperated 6 so I can't believe there will be a problem. If so will let you know, if not will spend the substaintial savings on other fun goodies !

The Chicago Cubs signed Japanese cloesr Kyuji Fujikawa to a two-year deal on Saturday. The 32-year old Fujikawa, who had been seemingly destined to sign with the Angels, will make $9.5 million over the two years of the deal and has a vesting option for 2015 based on games finished that could turn into a club option if the option doesn't vest. Fujikawa will be serving as the Cubs closer in 2013, seemingly keeping Carlos Marmol on the trade block after he was dangled earlier this offseason in a possible deal to the Angels in exchange for Dan Haren. Fujikawa spent 2012 with the Hanshin Tigers of the NPB, and had a 1.32 ERA in 47 2/3 innings for Hanshin, striking out 58 and walking 15. Over Fujikawa's last seven seasons in Japan, he's never struck out less than a batter per inning, and his highest ERA in a single season has been 2.01, back in 2010. However, 2012 was the first time during his career that Fujikawa has had a strikeout to walk ratio of less than 4.00 (3.87 last season). Over at NPB Tracker, they think Fujikawa would start off as a middle reliever in America, though it's clear the Cubs don't have that same mindset. His fastball in 2012 typically sat at around 91 mph, while he also threw a splitter and a curveball to varying success. Fujikawa isn't the same pitcher that he was four years ago when he initially wanted to be posted and jump to America, but he can still be a solid relief arm for the Cubs, especially the cost of essentially one win per season.

Horsepower Direct - Garrett - ATP Turbo Upgraded Intercooler Kit for 2013 Focus ST - ST250
Intercoolers are now shipping !!! Downpipes shipping very soon !!!!
These parts work well with the Cobb Tuner.
The overall numbers look strong, but full boost doesn't arrive until almost 4600rpms? That seems REALLY delayed. The motor would be fine for drag racing or racing where you're staying above ~4500rpms, but around town, it's going to feel really docile and nuetered.
Is it possible this dyno showing someone punching the gas at around 4,000rpms rather than 2000rpms? I find the turbo powerband really strange, even for a GT28. 2.0L and 2.5L WRXs running GT28s seem to see full boost by around 3500rpms.

0-60 in 3.9 seconds
I can't decide whether I like this or not, But performance wise, it is a bad boy. http://www.completehydraulic.com/trex_product.htm
That is pretty cool. Just wouldn't look good with me in it.
Looks like a RC car. Must weigh like 5 lbs.
900 lbs and 152 horsepower!
Sometimes,I don't know what I'd do without you guys ...I was watching MTV 2 the other day waiting for Slash to come on and there was this Rap video.Whoever the hell that the artist was,his video was full of those little bumble bees.Pretty neat little vehicle.All they did was do 360's in them,burning the rear tire down to nothing.By the way..I'm a Rock N' Roll guy..Not a Rapper lol ..Just thought that I'd mention that .
Jacob Middleton
Think your date would get into that car if you pull around the corner in it??
Well..Personally..I think that I'll stick with my little Escort,traveling 0-60 in about 20 seconds and actually having more protection surrounding my body ...Oh what fun lol :drool .
Jacob Middleton
BTW has anyone heard any of the new Reload songs. Sounds like that will be a cool combination (w/Weiland) Just curious!!
They've done songs for 2 movies;"The Italian Job" and "The Hulk".They did a cover of Pink Floyd's "Money" for "The Italian Job" and Weiland wrote a song,"Set Me Free" for "The Hulk".I'm not a big fan of Weiland,but I was a huge *** fan of GN'R.I'd love to see the old Ex-Gunners get back together like they are .I try to keep up with these things .Slash is the man.Anyway,their new name is Velvet Revolver.
Check out www.snakepit.org
Then,scroll down and click on the "News" section.They update it every other day and they post everything about the band.It's Slash's Fan Site.
Jacob Middleton
VElVET REVOLVER!!?? Youre kidding right!?? Might as well be called Fairy Twinkle Dust!!! What a crappy name. Aaaww man, that sucks,Velvet revolver. Stupid, stupid,stupid. Reload was a much better name!! Hope the new tunes arent as "fluff" as the name.
Yes i was also a huge fan of GNR. I even supported them after my city turned on them because of the riot at Riverport!! I still have the UYI1 cd cover that has "F### You St. Louis" written in the credits/acknowledgements. Say what you will, Now thats style!!
Ive never seen Slash perform live, hope they stop by.
I think the new tunes are going to be great.I don't really care for the name either,but anyway.I love the Gunner's and I might even become to like Scott,it's just that I was never a fan of STP.Oh yeah,about Slash performing live,I have the UYI 1 & UYI 2,live in Tokyo,Japan..It's 2 great hours filled with Axl's "Daisy-Duke" Spandex Shorts,Slash's Cool Licks,and Matt's Hard Hitts.That's the way I like to put it .Anyway,those guys are cool.You know the line-up right?
It's like this for anyone who doesn't know:
Scott Weiland:Vocals
Slash:Lead Guitar
Dave Kushner:Rhythm Guitar
Duff McKagen:Bass Guitar
Matt Sorumercussion
Jacob Middleton
Yeah i used to have those 2 videos.(house fire) Used tro drive my friends crazy with"em...over and over. One of the things i still remember is seeing ol' Bill Bailey (AXL) passing out roses to the japenese crowd. Thats historic!
That's the truth.Axl was cool,he just had too much of an additude.Those guys were good and the remaining ones still are.Did you see the NEW GN'R that Axl threw together last year at the MTV Music Awards?
Jacob Middleton
Yeah, outta shape running around outta breath trying to sing. What the hell is up with the guitarist w/ the chicken bucket on his head, is that supposed to be funny?? Kinda pathetic on AXL's behalf, if he woulda only knew where he would be ten years down the road. The "chicken" guitarist is really good, just not with Slashs riffs, but can you blame him?? The MTV MAs backed that alot of those cool ***** melodies came from AXLs input in the band.
AXL needs to get back on "Horse" and booze along with the other exmembers of GNR so they can get along again. WHATTA WASTE!!!
Well,there's this link on Slash's site and it's a radio interview with him and a DJ..Before Velvet Revolver started,and Axl showed up on MTV,Slash said that it would only take a phone call for him to go back to Axl and play..But now,he said on the interview that it was COMPLETELY OVER..There's no chance of him or any of the other members going back.Slash said that he should've started a solo project instead of ruining the GN'R Brand,but that's his business since he owns the rights..<-----That's a good point..Mr.KFC Bucket is called Buckethead.He wears that mask and the bucket because he's scared of girls seeing his face.That's what he said to MTV in an interview..I said,Come On..You mean this guy is suppose to replace the one and only SLASH!?!GIVE ME A BREAK .

I know my laptop will do the conversion now so I only need the correct plug shape. I don't want to blow my nook into a zillion pieces if I need a converter and don't have one.
I use the HD+ in the UK with just the plug adapter. It works just fine here.
