Srini (BCCI president N. Srinivasan) phoned me the other day. Told me his favourite baby, the IPL, will be expanded by one more team to be chosen from among 10 cities. Naturally, Ahmedabad led the list. Not for nothing am I the president of the Gujarat Cricket Association. I am crazy about sports but had to refuse the chairmanship of the Gujarat Baseball League sponsored by the super-rich motel-owning NRI Patels of Nadiad because the Yanks still don't allow me into their country. And baseball is their national game!
We are all ready to enter IPL, the money asked for is chicken feed. Our team and its sponsors are raring to go. I have named the team Naroda Patiya Jackals because for me, Naroda Patiya is punya bhoomi, as sacred as Sabarmati ashram. The local players list is ready and the captain is the great Babu Bajrangi, a hero to all of us, who can do many things, including playing cricket. Srini wondered how he could play cricket being lodged in jail. Arre Baba, don't you know how people in Delhi, Haryana, Amritsar and other places in jail for the same type of offences were always out on parole as and when they pleased and enjoying life. Woh, Jessica Lal wala, Manu Sharma, Punjab Akali stalwart and SGPC boss, some Bibi, jailed for murdering her daughter (our Bajrangibhai never did that). So Babu Bajrangi will be playing cricket, leading our team. We all know cricket in India is more important than our judicial system and some silly life imprisonment. Since Bajrangi is lodged in Sabarmati jail, we can easily prepare cricket pitches and organise adequate practice for him. And I am negotiating with Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar to coach them. Five crores each should do the trick. Our local boys will be Patels, many of them immortalised in Naroda Patiya heroics.
Now for team selection, the foreign professionals. I wanted Larwoodbhai, Jeff Thomsonbhai, Charlie Griffithbhai, they were men who could draw blood on the pitch. That excites me. What a pity Larwoodbhai is dead but the Naroda Jackals will get the other two as coaches. Srini was full of praise and admiration for my team. Arun Jaitley, president of Delhi Cricket Association, welcomed my initiative. My table is groaning under the weight of congratulatory messages from the Ambanis, Ratan Tata, Mittals, Jindals and every other top industrialist. They all want to be part of Naroda Patiya Jackals and I have to work this out. That said, my IPL entry has upset some people. (Someone told me that Teesta Setalvad has stopped eating after hearing the news. Good for her.) Our captain Babu Bajrangi is eager to get going and assures me he has not forgotten his skills in cutting, chopping, gouging and bashing (I mean the cricket ball).

The inhuman face of Narendra Modi cannot be camouflaged by any other ways. Whatever he talks about development, will be meaningless, if he sponsors riots. The 2002 communal conflagration was instigated by his people and his inaction simply helped the rioteers. Even in 2012 , such rioteers are being arrested and one was directly the member of his ministry. This is all shameful. Life is insecure in Gujarat both for the muslims and the hindus as well. Riot-sponsoring Chief Minister should not remain in power even for a single day. Now Modi is dreaming of being the Prime Minister of India which is a secular republic. This may be his dream, but it is a nightmare for Indian people.
5D, Ahmedabad wallah,
I am not going to bray with you since you support your alpha jackal.
Suffice it to say that all these politicians like MMS and Modi are anti-males. They are either wolves in sheeps clothes or, like Modi, a wolf in jackal clothes. The more you beware these creatures who are out to create friction between Indian MALES, the better for your mental health.
Reading this article I remembered ........Karishma & Govinda singing "tujko mirchi lagi to mai kya karo".......Mr Gangadhar ....time to grow up!

All these politicians/ jackals, are not just corrupt and communal, but also ferociously anti-male.
Beware of these b*#<>€**s All of them.
V Gangadhar is poor columnist that he has got only so far 5 replies incuding mine...Please improve and work upon selecting topics we are bored of reading articles on Modi and comments by Anwar, Saroja, MaleBlocked and Tee Pee...
"Those who Preach They Themself Dont Follow"
Modis communal 'victory', like the victory of corruption in India, is largely due to the failure of the judicial system. The land is 'lawless'.
If this jackal is the BEST alternative to the intellectually dishonest PM, I can bet you one thing :

For my bloggy friends~ If you repost, please leave a comment for me so that I know you did so and I will plug your blog with one of your own original posts later this week. Thank you!
You are awesome, Lois. Hope this story gets a lot of attention in your area.ReplyDelete
What a tragic story. There is definitely something wrong with our laws. Hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
Oh, I feel sick. I don't know what to say. They're releasing this man? How could this possibly happen?ReplyDelete
Oh Lois....I am in tears over here...how sad. What in the world is wrong with our society that they could say he wasn't guilty? Just tragic. Hard enough for the poor family to live with the whole thing, but then to have him let back out besides is more than you can bear.
Sorry to hear you are sick again too. I do know what you mean. I said that very thing to my hubby a few days ago. It just seems as if there is soo much sadness going on anymore. Or am I just more aware? Either way, the world needs Him soo much. I will pray for a quick and THOROUGH recovery for you, and Happy birthday to your son!
HUGS, Debbie
You are in my prayers, Lois. So much sadness and sickness, I pray things get better for you and for your friends.
Thank you for sharing Lauren's tragic story. If any of your readers share, I will plug their blogs on my own if they let me know.
To say I'm devastated is an understatement - what is wrong is turned on its head in this world!
I can only pray God would intervene.
Hope you too know His touch, Lois.
That is so sad..... How terrible. I am just at a loss for words...
I hope your throat gets to feeling better Lois, it is no fun being sick.
So sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well and for all of the sadness surrounding you at this time.
The article you shared is horrifying and so sad.
I don't even know what to say. I'm horrified that he has been found NOT GUILTY. What is happening in our world? I hope you feel better soon, Lois!
Our laws have to change! I thought of my granddaughters when reading your post. Tragic is all I can say and that this evil man may not get the punishment he deserves in this world, but he will the next.ReplyDelete

Oh.my.goodness! *sigh* Please, come quickly, Lord Jesus! I'll be in prayer for this family and their friends. So sorry...ReplyDelete
I hope you are feeling much better today and I will pray for that family. So sad. sandieReplyDelete
I hope you are feeling better soon, Lois. And thank you for repeating the post about that darling little girl. There is so much sin in this world. Our 'justice' system which protects the perpetrator and not the victim or victim's family is in need of drastic change. We will be praying for them - and for this ungodly nation which used to be called a 'Christian nation.'ReplyDelete
Of course he was crazy. No sane person would do that... It makes me sick that he'll be walking around free. Thank you for sharing this so we can share his photo in case he is not placed on a registry.ReplyDelete

Speculation that Britain's debt mountain is about to topple has been contradicted by the release of figures showing that credit card borrowing has fallen for the first time in 12 years.
British borrowers owe more than £1 trillion on mortgages, overdrafts, personal loans and other types of debt, and research company Datamonitor recently published a report that branded the British as the spendthrifts of Europe. We now each owe an average of £3,175, compared with £1,558 for other Europeans. But figures released by the Bank of England show that UK credit card customers paid off £311m more than they borrowed last month, the first time there has been a net fall in borrowing since May 1994.
Vicky Redwood, UK economist for analyst Capital Economics, says the fall in credit card borrowing could be the result of two factors. 'Banks are tightening their lending criteria so people can't borrow so easily, but at the same time demand for credit is weakening, possibly because of the rise in interest rates and the slowdown in the housing market.'
Sandra Quinn, spokeswoman for the Association of Payment and Clearing Services, says borrowing on credit cards has levelled off over the last 18 months; more people are paying off their credit card balances in full each month - 59 per cent now compared with 54 per cent in 2002-03; and more people are using debit rather than credit cards to make purchases. 'Three years ago, spending on debit compared to credit was split about 50:50. Now this has changed to 70:30. People are spending money that they have in their bank accounts, rather than money that they might have in the future,' she says.
Credit rating agencies, which collate information on people's credit usage and payment habits, say although more people are running into difficulty with monthly minimum payments on their credit cards, the increase is in proportion to the rise in credit borrowing. 'We're not seeing a lot more people falling off the edge,' says Neil Monroe of Equifax. 'If you compare the numbers to the growth in credit, it's not out of kilter.' He says a recent study showed that even though the British borrow more than their European counterparts, we have the second lowest default rate on repayments.
Lenders are gradually introducing new techniques to reduce bad debts and to lend more responsibly. Barclaycard, the UK's biggest credit card issuer, reduced the credit limits of 200,000 customers it believed were in danger of becoming over-indebted and declined one in every two applications for credit last year. It also launched a Flexi-Rate card, which reduces your interest the more you pay off your outstanding balance each month, to encourage cardholders to reduce their debt.
Frances Walker, of debt charity the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS), says many people get into difficulties with debt by paying back just the minimum amount each month. In the past lenders have only shared information about customers if they have missed payments or become bad debtors, and as long as they met the minimum demand, other card issuers continued to lend to them, pushing them further into debt.
But Equifax's Monroe says most of Britain's card issuers, including store card companies, are now sharing 'positive' information about credit card customers' borrowing, spending and repayment records, regardless of whether they are repaying the monthly minimum. This should enable lenders to judge whether applicants are in danger of overextending themselves.
Walker says: 'If a borrower is just paying the minimum for three or more credit cards for six months or more, we would like that to start ringing alarm bells.'
Are your loans out of control?
Just because our love aff air with the credit card seems to be fizzling out, there is no room for complacency - we still owe more than £1 trillion in secured and unsecured debt. So how do you know if your debts are reaching epic proportions - and what should you do about it?
The CCCS says you could soon face trouble if you are spending more than 20 per cent of your net monthly income on repayments for unsecured debt (personal loans, credit cards); using credit cards to pay for everyday essentials without paying off the card balance in full each month; and struggling to meet the monthly minimum repayments. If this sounds like you, try to pay off the loans or credit cards that charge the highest interest first. Consider applying for credit cards offering 0 per cent interest on balance transfers , but don't use the cleared cards to build up more debt.
If things get really tough, keep paying priority bills - the mortgage , loans secured against your home, your car if it is on hire purchase. Talk to your creditors about how much you can afford to pay. Approach a free debt charity such as the CCCS (0800 1381111) or National Debtline (0808 808 4000) for help.

Ok here's my working theory:
- Zod and all the Kandorians were bio-engineered as clones to have powers under a Red Sun.
- That's why they don't have powers under Earth's yellow sun.
- The solar tower will send a red beam into space, as shown in Lois Lane's vision. This beam will be aimed at the sun...
- The red sunlight will give Zod and the Kandorians superpowers, and strip Clark of his powers
Here's the problem though. If this is true, why did Alia have superpowers in Savior? Sure her powers were restored by the red sun in the future... but shouldn't the yellow sun in the present have stripped her of her powers? But she used heat vision and other powers too...
My guess here is that their powers are *activated* by a red sun, like how Clark's were activated by the yellow sun in Odyssey. Then after that, any sunlight will do the trick in terms of charging them up.
That said, that theory seems a bit too complicated to be true.
Any thoughts on all this?

Ms. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I come to the floor today to speak about cybersecurity legislation--legislation we hope will soon be before the Senate.
There is no question--no question at all--that this is a critical issue that should be addressed by this Congress, and I am certain that every Member of this body is concerned that our Nation may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks that could truly have very severe economic and security ramifications. We see stories about cyber-attacks daily--whether they are attacks on individuals, on companies, on government--and I believe it is time for us to take steps to protect ourselves against this emerging threat.
In the coming weeks, the Senate is expected to take up legislation to address this very real problem, and I am hopeful this effort will result in legislation we can all agree is worthy of sending to the President. But right now it appears we are on track to follow an all-or-nothing approach. The problem I see with the bill that is expected to come to the floor--featuring text that was recently released by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee--is that it has not gone through regular order and, I fear, amounts to regulatory overreach. If that is our only option here, it will ultimately prevent us from making progress on cybersecurity here in Congress, which I think would be an unfortunate outcome.
Because that outcome is unacceptable, I have introduced an alternative bill this morning, along with a number of ranking member colleagues. I know Senator Chambliss from Georgia was here on the floor earlier, and many of us spoke to it earlier in the day. We call our bill the Strengthening and Enhancing Cybersecurity by Using Research, Education, Information, and Technology Act of 2012. It has an acronym, of course. It is called SECURE IT for short. The bill follows a commonsense approach to address our ever-increasing cyber threats.
Our bill focuses on four different areas we believe can draw bipartisan
support and result in good public law. Those four areas are: information sharing, FISMA reform--which is intelligence-sharing reform--criminal penalties, as well as additional research.
What the SECURE IT bill does not do is equally important, because it does not simply add new layers of bureaucracy and regulation that will serve little purpose and achieve meager results. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee bill would arm the Department of Homeland Security with expansive new authorities to review all sectors of our economy and designate what is termed ``covered critical infrastructure'' for further regulation. What we hear out there from industry is that this amounts to regulation almost for regulation's sake. In the electricity industry's case, this is resulting in duplicative regulation that I am afraid will lead to a ``compliance first'' mentality. Companies will focus on meeting their new Federal requirements and passing a seemingly endless stream of audits, but these heavyhanded statistic requirements from yet one more Federal regulator will not necessarily address the very real threats we face. So again, the concern is we will have industry focused on how do we comply, how do we avoid a bad audit, instead of using their ingenuity and their resources to ensure we stay ahead of any future cyber-attack. We need to be more nimble. We have to have a more nimble approach to dealing with cyber-related threats that are constantly growing and constantly changing. The threat we see today is not necessarily the threat we might anticipate tomorrow, so we have to stay ahead of the game. This is important, and this is where our SECURE IT bill comes in. I think we have simply taken a more pragmatic approach by focusing on the areas where we know we can find some bipartisan support.
One area I think we can all agree on is that the Federal Government needs to form a partnership with the private sector. We share the same goals, that is clear. The goals are to keep our computer systems and our Nation safe from cyber intrusions. We need the private companies to be talking with each other and with the government about the cyber problems they face as well as the potential strategies and the solutions to combat them. To achieve this goal, our legislation encourages the voluntary sharing of much needed information by removing legal barriers to its use and its disclosure. At the same time, we are very careful to safeguard the privacy and prohibit information from being used for competitive advantage.
Our bill also provides necessary updates to the Federal Information Security Management Act. This is the FISMA I spoke to a minute ago. These FISMA reforms require real-time monitoring of Federal systems. It will modernize the way the government manages and mitigates its own cyber risks. And unlike other legislation on this subject, the cyber bill we have introduced today will update criminal statutes to account for cyber activities. Finally, we support advanced cybersecurity research by leveraging existing resources without necessarily spending new Federal dollars. That is very important for us.
This straightforward approach to cybersecurity, I think, can go a long way in tackling the problem. Clearly, our own government agencies here need to be communicating a little bit better with one another. An example of this is that the White House and Department of Homeland Security are staging an exercise next week. All Members have been invited to attend and go through this exercise. It is a mock scenario that will feature a cyber-attack on the Nation's grid. And while I absolutely think this is a useful exercise, and something that is well worthwhile, I do find it quite surprising--quite surprising--that DHS would set up a grid attack scenario and fail to include the grid's primary regulators. These would be the electric reliability organization--what we call NERC--and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC. These are the two regulatory agencies currently in place that provide for that cyber regulation. It is mandated within our grid that these agencies tend to just this issue. So it does make me question if DHS is even aware the electric industry is the only industry already subject to mandatory cyber standards, or that the NERC has the ability to issue time-sensitive alerts to electric utilities in the event of emergency situations. It is kind of hard for me to understand why DHS would proceed with a grid attack simulation and not include the existing governmental entities that already have these safeguards in place. It also begs the question as to whether Congress should provide DHS with such significant and expansive new authorities in the cyber arena.
Before I close, I wish to take a moment to talk about the process behind cybersecurity legislation. While my colleagues and I have highlighted the substantive and procedural problems that are associated with the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee bill, the majority, and even the press, have attempted to dismiss our arguments as nothing more than partisan stall tactics.
I stand before you to tell you that is simply not true. I want to take action on cyber. I know all of the ranking members who have joined together on this issue want to take action on cyber. We need to do it. I have been calling for action and for legislation since last Congress. We have been working on it in the Energy Committee and have moved out that cyber energy piece. But I do think it is important around this body that there is some meaning to the process; that process really does matter. That is how strong, bipartisan pieces of legislation are enacted. When we forego that process and refuse to do the hard work in the committee--and it is hard. But if we don't do that, we put ourselves on a path to failure with that legislation.
So when we have seven ranking members taking issue with how a bill has been put together, I think we had better pay attention. I think we need to look at whether our process is working.
The SECURE IT bill we introduced today is a strong starting point for us. Some may argue we need to go a little further. But additional layers of bureaucracy and regulations are not the answer at this time. Legislating in the four areas we have highlights--in the information sharing, the FISMA reform, criminal penalties, and research--these are necessary first steps that will make a tremendous amount of difference. If we need to do more in the future, we in Congress can certainly make that determination. But let's not take an all-or-nothing approach to cyber legislation and ultimately end up empty-handed.
I ask my colleagues to take a look at what we have presented today and consider supporting the SECURE IT Act so we can continue to ensure our citizens, our companies, and our country are protected.

The Weather Company Extends Access to WEATHERfx Platform
The Weather Company, an IBM Business, announced today it is expanding off-property access to its proprietary automated ad targeting platform, WEATHERfx, and further extending the capability beyond The Weather Channel and Weather Underground web and mobile properties.
As part of this WEATHERfx expansion, Weather has collaborated with The Trade Desk, a global self-service technology platform for buyers of advertising, and Vistar Media, the industry's first and only solution for programmatic out-of-home advertising.
Through The Trade Desk and Vistar Media, marketers will be able to leverage WEATHERfx targeting across a variety of programmatic campaigns. Both programmatic and digital OOH advertising are promising growth markets, with programmatic ad spending expected to grow at double-digit rates for the next several years, and digital placements forecasted to account for more than half of OOH ad spending by 2018.
WEATHERfx is an automated targeting platform that helps power more informed marketing decisions by leveraging weather's potential impact on emotion and delivering messaging designed to inform consumer action. Using weather-based triggers that identify conditions when weather is most likely to drive consumer behavior, the automated WEATHERfx platform eliminates media waste and activates a brand's media to run when the optimal mix of conditions occur.
"Collaborating with The Weather Channel to extend WEATHERfx data targeting to out-of-home was a natural fit," said Michael Provenzano, CEO & Co-Founder at Vistar Media. "Vistar's platform is uniquely built to respond to data sets involving location and time – like weather conditions – to help marketers connect with on-the-go consumers at the right place and right time with relevant messaging."
In addition to improving the relevancy of programmatic advertising campaigns via The Trade Desk and Vistar Media, WEATHERfx can also be used off-platform to help marketers better target messaging across social media, email marketing, and on marketers' owned and operated websites or mobile apps.
IBM 1Q 2013 Earnings
I was sitting here at JFK waitin' on a plane and IBM's 1Q 2013 earnings came across the wire, so here goes:
- Diluted EPS: GAAP: $2.70, up 3 percent; Operating (non-GAAP): $3.00, up 8 percent
- Net income: GAAP: $3.0 billion, down 1 percent; Operating (non-GAAP): $3.4 billion, up 3 percent
- Gross profit margin: GAAP: 45.6 percent, up 0.6 points; Operating (non-GAAP): 46.7 percent, up 1.0 points
- Revenue: $23.4 billion, down 5 percent, down 3 percent adjusting for currency
- Free cash flow of $1.7 billion, down $0.2 billion
- Software revenue flat, up 1 percent adjusting for currency; Pre-tax: income up 4 percent; margin up 1.2 points
- Services revenue down 4 percent, down 1 percent adjusting for currency; Pre-tax: income up 10 percent; margin up 2.0 points
- Services backlog of $141 billion, up 1 percent, up 5 percent adjusting for currency; Closed 22 deals of more than $100 million in the quarter
- Systems and Technology revenue down 17 percent, down 16 percent adjusting for currency
- Growth markets revenue down 1 percent, up 1 percent adjusting for currency
- Business analytics revenue up 7 percent; Smarter Planet revenue up more than 25 percent; Cloud revenue up more than 70 percent
- Reiterating full-year 2013 operating (non-GAAP) EPS expectation of at least $16.70.
IBM announced first-quarter 2013 diluted earnings of $2.70 per share, a year-to-year increase of 3 percent. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings were $3.00 per share, compared with operating diluted earnings of $2.78 per share in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 8 percent.
First-quarter net income was $3.0 billion, down 1 percent year-to-year. Operating (non-GAAP) net income was $3.4 billion compared with $3.3 billion in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 3 percent. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2013 of $23.4 billion were down 5 percent (down 3 percent, adjusting for currency) from the first quarter of 2012.
"In the first quarter, we grew operating net income, earnings per share and expanded operating margins but we did not achieve all of our goals in the period. Despite a solid start and good client demand we did not close a number of software and mainframe transactions that have moved into the second quarter. The services business performed as expected with strong profit growth and significant new business in the quarter," said Ginni Rometty, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"Looking ahead, in addition to closing those transactions, we expect to benefit from investments we are making in our growth initiatives and from the actions we are taking to improve under-performing parts of the business. We remain confident in this model of continuous transformation and in our ability to deliver our full-year 2013 operating earnings per share expectation of at least $16.70."
Pre-tax income decreased 6 percent to $3.6 billion. Pre-tax margin decreased 0.1 points to 15.4 percent. Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income decreased 1 percent to $4.1 billion and pre-tax margin was 17.4 percent, up 0.8 points.
IBM's tax rate was 15.9 percent, down 4.1 points year over year; operating (non-GAAP) tax rate was 17.3 percent, down 3.2 points compared to the year-ago period. The lower tax rate is primarily due to benefits recorded to reflect changes in tax laws enacted during the quarter, including the reinstatement of the U.S. Research and Development Tax Credit.
Net income margin increased 0.5 points to 13.0 percent. Total operating (non-GAAP) net income margin increased 1.2 points to 14.4 percent.
The weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding in the first-quarter 2013 was 1.12 billion compared with 1.17 billion shares in the same period of 2012. As of March 31, 2013, there were 1.11 billion basic common shares outstanding.
Debt, including Global Financing, totaled $33.4 billion, compared with $33.3 billion at year-end 2012. From a management segment view, Global Financing debt totaled $25.2 billion versus $24.5 billion at year-end 2012, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 7.2 to 1. Non-global financing debt totaled $8.2 billion, a decrease of $0.6 billion since year-end 2012, resulting in a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 34.3 percent from 36.1 percent.
IBM ended the first-quarter 2013 with $12.0 billion of cash on hand and generated free cash flow of $1.7 billion, excluding Global Financing receivables, down approximately $0.2 billion year over year. The company returned $3.5 billion to shareholders through $0.9 billion in dividends and $2.6 billion of gross share repurchases. The balance sheet remains strong, and the company is well positioned to support the business over the long term.
The Masters Leaderboard Is Live!
That's it, today's the day.
The first players have already teed off at the Masters in Augusta.
Yesterday, I discussed the virtual means by which you could experience playing at Augusta National.
Today I'm going to focus on the various means by which you can follow this year's action on and off the course.
First, and most importantly, the leaderboard.
On the Masters web site, for which IBM is the longtime technology sponsor, you can go to the virtual equivalent of the traditional Masters leaderboard.
You can also find the leaderboard on this year's revamped iPad app, which I'm quickly leaning on as my 19th hole for following all the action from Augusta.
This year it includes live video from a number of the holes, including Amen Corner, 15, 16, as well as two "featured groups," a Masters "in-depth" feature channel, and for those warm-ups, the driving range, and over the weekend a live simulcast of CBS' TV coverage.
You'll be able to access live radio, news features, and pictures from the grounds (including new 360 panoramic images that I suspect will be suitable for framing!).
As for TV coverage itself, that doesn't start in the U.S. until 3:00 PM EST ESPN. However, live video coverage begins on Amen Corner starting at 10:45 AM on the Website and via the mobile applications, so if you're hankering to get out to the action, that's going to be your fastest way in.
This year, IBM is leaning heavily on its SmartCloud technology to help drive quality and continuous operations, along with the flexibility and scalability required by the Masters.
As players peak on the course, we typically see a resultant workload increase in our technology systems.
This helped lead to have the need to provision a new Presentation Services "instance," for example, in less than 3 minutes using Tivoli Provisioning Manager, as it helps us get new virtual machine instances up and running quickly.
We are also able to move one workload to another on our POWER systems powering the Masters using our Live LPAR mobility in four minutes without service interruption.
Can you say pressure putt???
So as the tournament begins, who will I be keeping a close eye on?
Tiger, for sure. Phil. Brandt. Rory. Graeme. Garrigus. Schwartzel. Colsaerts. Poulter. Oosthuizen. Guan (the 14 year-old Chinese kid).
It's just an incredibly talented field, as, of course, it always is. Length and shot shaping are always helpful at Augusta, especially right to left, but as Zach Johnson proved several years ago, shorter hitters can score (and win) if they play the right angles.
As for me, I went back and played another virtual round at Augusta last night in my Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 and shot 2 under.
There's hope for me yet. That means I would currently be tied with Jim Furyk for second place in my Walter Mitty golf fantasy. But it's only Thursday…
Winning In Europe And Oklahoma
IBM announced a couple of nice wins these past few days.
One, a partnership agreement between IBM and Itella, a leading provider of business services in Europe and Russia.
It's a seven-year cloud computing agreement to help Itella streamline its business operations and improve its flexibility and time-to-market, and allowing them to focus on their core business and develop new services for their clients.
Itella provides postal, logistics and financial transaction process services in Northern and Central Europe, as well as Russia.
Specifically, IBM will build a private cloud to provide hosting as well as application management and development services to Itella. With the cloud, IBM will automate basic production of technology services as well as improve the quality and management of those services.
"Through this operating model renewal, we can adopt a flexible service delivery to increase automation and introduce best practices, utilizing IBM's world-class competence," said Jukka Rosenberg, Senior Vice President, Itella Mail Communications. "Through the partnership, we can make our operations more efficient and cut costs, without compromising our high-quality service."
And nearly halfway around the globe and just north of here, the great state of Oklahoma is partnering with IBM to save $15 million over the next five years and to help improve services to state residents there.
As governments institute structural changes in the way agencies measure performance and deliver services, data analytics and new delivery models can help lead the way for transformations that realize a measurable return on investment and improved quality of life.
By analyzing business processes and consolidating IT projects, IBM will help the state gain significant savings in software licensing and technology maintenance costs— resulting in an expected IT budget recovery of 30 percent.
"At a time when we all have to learn to do more with less money, IBM has been instrumental in identifying and prioritizing IT consolidation projects for the state of Oklahoma, at the same time allowing us to invest in new services for our residents," said Alex Pettit, chief information officer, state of Oklahoma.
"IBM brought not only its extensive public sector services experience to help create the initial business case for this project, but also worked with participating agencies to verify that the new technology environment would improve mainframe service and reduce costs."
IBM helped the state to understand the challenges of providing IT services to various agencies with diverse requirements for data management and federal reporting.
The new IT infrastructure established a model for IT compliance with federal guidelines on program data and processes, using an IBM System z mainframe. IBM also helped the state meet project funding requirements—bridging the financial gap between the initiation of the project and the cost savings.
The agreement helps ensure that the delivery of technology services is more effective and more consistent. In addition, the new infrastructure gives each agency more control over the quality, performance, and support of their technology environment.
Ultimately, the consolidation of five mainframe platforms also yielded significant savings in costs and lower lease costs. The recommended options projected an 18-30 month payback period that would save 25–30 percent of the state's combined annual IT budget.
IBM worked with the state on a detailed analysis of the IT infrastructure and opportunities to consolidate computing capacity, storage, network, backup and disaster recovery capabilities.
The plan included development of a target architecture, establishment of a high-level roadmap, and development of a services delivery schedule between the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES), responsible for operating the consolidated environments, and each state agency.

Big Moves In Big Data: IBM New Data Acceleration, Hadoop Capabilities
IBM made a significant announcement earlier today concerning new technologies designed to help companies and governments tackle Big Data by making it simpler, faster and more economical to analyze massive amounts of data. The new data acceleration innovation results in as much as 25 times faster reporting and analytics.
Today's announcement, which represents the work of hundreds of IBM developers and researchers in labs around the world, includes an industry-first innovation called "BLU Acceleration," which combines a number of techniques to dramatically improve analytical performance and simplify administration.
Also announced was the new IBM PureData System for Hadoop, designed to make it easier and faster to deploy Hadoop in the enterprise. Hadoop is the game-changing open-source software used to organize and analyze vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, such as posts to social media sites, digital pictures and videos, online transaction records, and cell phone location data.
The new system can reduce from weeks to minutes the ramp-up time organizations need to adopt enterprise-class Hadoop technology with powerful, easy-to-use analytic tools and visualization for both business analysts and data scientists.
In addition, it provides enhanced Big Data tools for monitoring, development and integration with many more enterprise systems.
IBM Big Data Innovations: More Accessible, Enterprise-ready
As organizations grapple with a flood of structured and unstructured data generated by computers, mobile devices, sensors and social networks, they're under unprecedented pressure to analyze much more data at faster speeds and at lower costs to help deepen customer relationships, prevent threat and fraud, and identify new revenue opportunities.
BLU Acceleration enables users to have much faster access to key information, leading to better decision-making. The software extends the capabilities of traditional in-memory systems — which allows data to be loaded into Random Access Memory instead of hard disks for faster performance — by providing in-memory performance even when data sets exceed the size of the memory.
During testing, some queries in a typical analytics workload were more than 1000 times faster when using the combined innovations of BLU Acceleration.
Innovations in BLU Acceleration include "data skipping," which allows the ability to skip over data that doesn't need to be analyzed, such as duplicate information; the ability to analyze data in parallel across different processors; and greater ability to analyze data transparently to the application, without the need to develop a separate layer of data modeling.
Another industry-first advance in BLU Acceleration is called "actionable compression," where data no longer has to be decompressed to be analyzed.
Not IBM's First Big Data Rodeo
The new offerings expand what is already the industry's deepest portfolio of Big Data technologies and solutions, spanning software, services, research and hardware. The IBM Big Data platform combines traditional data warehouse technologies with new Big Data techniques, such as Hadoop, stream computing, data exploration, analytics and enterprise integration, to create an integrated solution to address these critical needs.
IBM PureData System for Hadoop is the next step forward in IBM's overall strategy to deliver a family of systems with built-in expertise that leverages its decades of experience reducing the cost and complexity associated with information technology.
This new system integrates IBM InfoSphere BigInsights, which allows companies of all sizes to cost-effectively manage and analyze data and add administrative, workflow, provisioning and security features, along with best-in-class analytical capabilities from IBM Research.
Today's announcement also includes the following new versions of IBMs Big Data solutions:
- A new version of InfoSphere BigInsights, IBM's enterprise-ready Hadoop offering, which makes it simpler to develop applications using existing SQL skills, compliance security and high availability features vital for enterprise applications. BigInsights offers three entry points: free download, enterprise software and now an expert integrated system, IBM PureData System for Hadoop.
- A new version of InfoSphere Streams, unique "stream computing" software that enables massive amounts of data in motion to be analyzed in real-time, with performance improvements, and simplified application development and deployment.
- A new version of Informix including TimeSeries Acceleration for operational reporting and analytics on smart meter and sensor data.
Pricing and Availability
All offerings are available in Q2, except the PureData System for Hadoop, which will start shipping to customers in the second half 2013. Credit-qualified clients can take advantage of simple, flexible lease and loan packages with no up-front payments for the software and systems that deliver a new generation of data analytics.
IBM Global Financing offers attractive leasing programs with 90-day payment deferrals for the PureData System for Hadoop, as well as zero percent loans for the broader portfolio of IBM big data solutions.

Time for a new dr
He doesn't seem to hear what you say. His answer for everything is workout and pray. I've went to him for years and he has got worse. I hadn't changed drs cause its such a hassle to fill in a new dr on your medical history, but it's time cause I'm getting no help from him.

My worst choice in 2015
He didn't seem to actually listen to the details of my issues. It seemed like he'd made up his mind before he'd entered the room. More time and money was spent because he failed to address some obvious issues. However, his nurse is a lovely lady.

sad excuse for a doctor!
I saw Dr. Lueders for stomach pain and body weakness. He told me based on my medical history there was nothing wrong and it was all in my head just like lots of other people he's seen my age. He told me I needed to be in church and that would fix my problem. It turned out I have extreme vitamin d deficiency, an umbilical hernia, cysts on my ovary, and a sagging bladder that does require surgery! If he had done his job I possibly wouldn't have suffered another year thinking I was crazy. Thank god I got a second opinion!

You Must Do Your Own Follow Up
You Really need to be on top of things and remind him what's in your record. Sometimes I think Doctors expect you to know more doctor stuff than you do. That's their job. Be direct, to the point and be very clear. If you miss telling a symptom, its your fault. He will address your chief complaint and that's it. Your appt. Is for 10 min. Or 20 min.

1 FUND-RAISING A PRACTITIONER'S APPROACH. Krzysztof Pawłowsk owski Rector of WSB-NLU in Nowy Sącz S and WSB in Tarnów,, Poland Kiev, May 11, 2005 Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu National-Louis University
2 The information presented here is not a lecture on the theory of fund-raising but it reflects the experience of the practitioner who, for the last 15 years, has been building two institutions of higher her education: Wyższa Szkoła a Biznesu National-Louis University in Nowy SączS cz,, established in 1991 and Wyższa Szkoła a Biznesu in Tarnów,, established in 1996
3 Two different examples of creating schools of higher education The same founder, different approaches and results The Nowy SączS example: beginning in 1991, in 1 st year only 64 full- time students and $2000 founding capital, leasing a building from public administration. At present, 4000 students, 1 st place in rankings since 1996, more than PLN 50 million in investments The Tarnów example: beginning in 1996, in 1 st year approx. 300 part-time time students, purchase of the campus for a minimum price (PLN 250 thousand payable in instalments) At present, 1400 students, regional school, approx. PLN 5 million in investments
4 WSB-NLU, thanks to external assistance, has managed to build its brand and position within 5 years but it would not have survived the initial 5 years without fund-raising. WSB in Tarnów,, since the very beginning, has based its operations on its own funds.
5 WSB-NLU Case 2 stages of development: from 1991 to lack of balanced budget (too few students) Period of intensive begging balanced budget achieved from 1998 to operations based on own funds "No more begging!"
6 WSB-NLU Case Annual Revenue in PLN and Revenue Structure (in percent) Total revenue (in thousands USD) Tuition and registration fees % Training and conference activities% Donations and subsidies ,5 0, Sums from the Labour Fund International programs and grants* ,5 1.5 Other revenue 4,4 6.8 *Comprising only direct grants, excluding technical support 2004 profit including depreciation: PLN 3,367 million Profitability: approx. 14.5%
7 WSB-NLU Case Conclusions from the Long-term Budget WSB-NLU Case Conclusions from the Long-term Budget Subsidies and donations were essential only during the first three years; Money from the Labour Fund (for hiring the unemployed, recent graduates etc.) was important only during the first three years; Stable operations must be based on revenue from tuition fees; From the budgetary perspective, international assistance is only complementary; The table does not include the technical support from USA and Sweden since it is difficult to assess its direct impact on the budget.
8 WSB - NLU Case Out of PLN 50 million spent on investment, only: PLN 3.2 million came from the public/governmental funds; Approx. PLN 5 million came from the training activities; Approx. PLN 2.8 million came from subsidies and donations; PLN 9 million is still due (loan); And as much as PLN 30 million was generated by efficient management of funds from tuition.
9 WSB-NLU Case General Conclusions Fund-raising activities play an important but complementary role and financing the school's operations must be based on solid academic activities (degree programs and training seminars); Grants and technical support can have an essential role in building the school's recognition and brand;
10 My 'Golden' Rule of Managing the School 90% of the total revenue that comes from students (tuition, registration fees, training fees) must cover 100% of the School's running costs and all special profits and subsidies are earmarked for the development fund.
11 Types of Fund-raising Activities One-time donations and institutional subsidies received from foundations and corporations as charity; Grants for specific ventures received from institutions that support education (e.g., for construction of a building, for purchasing computer equipment); Grants for implementing specific projects, received from foundations and support institutions (for organising a conference, running a training seminar, conducting research); Grants from co-operating institutions for the so-called technical support (personnel and faculty training, lectures for students etc.); Extraordinary activities (e.g., receiving a building or a plot of land from municipal authorities).
12 Crucial Advice Do not use a doctrinal approach to fund-raising i.e., assuming that only cash is important. Other means are equally as good e.g. foreign aid in the form of the so-called technical assistance (providing curriculum for a whole program or one particular course, lectures of foreign professors, training of our faculty members); handing over a building or its loan free of charge; implementing a project (even if it only covers the project costs); help offered by volunteers; taking over a well-known brand or achieving a position e.g., that of a Polish-American university; non-material projects that have an impact on the institution s image; receiving money to fund students scholarships;
13 Principles of Effective Fund-raising I. Never rely on one source of external assistance. II. Try to find funds in many institutions. III. Remember that you must use the 1:200 rule. IV. Always seek funds for a specific goal (e.g., for 10 scholarships for students, for a purchase of 200 textbooks, for equipping a new laboratory). V. Remember that the most difficult task is to get huge funds from one place and that you can raise UAH 5 million by receiving donations of 250 thousand hryvnia from 20 institutions.
14 Characteristics of an Effective Fund-raiser remembers about donors, even the smaller ones; inspires trust and shows fascination with his/her project; is consistent but not insistent; is modest but neatly dressed; has a nature of a hunter who can spend a long time trying to hunt down the selected game.
15 Two Models of Fund-raising Conducted by the head of the organisation; Conducted by a specialised unit within the organisation. The first model is more effective but it is too time-consuming for the head of the organisation. The other model requires an introduction of a performancebased remuneration system.
16 At WSB-NLU only now (i.e., following Poland s s accession to the EU) a special unit is being created whose task will be to obtain money from the EU Funds (changing the ways of operations on the market).
17 Effectiveness of Activities (from WSB-NLU Perspective) 1. It was the easiest for us to obtain grants from American aid institutions (USIA, CIPE); however, political lobbying was required. 2. It was the most difficult for us to obtain funds from Polish corporations and aid institutions (good relations with their bosses were crucial). 3. We have learnt to prepare project applications and obtain money from the EU aid funds (Fiesta, Tempus, Leonardo da Vinci). These grants, however, are destined for specific projects and the funds obtained cannot be used to support our primary activities. 4. At present, we are gaining experience in submitting tenders and applications for the EU funds destined for training, research and investment (extreme bureaucracy)
18 How to Write a Good Project I. Read and familiarise yourself with the description of the programme, in II. III. IV. particular with its goals and priorities. Describe precisely (using clear language) the project s major goal. In the project, use the key words that appear in the programme description as often as possible. Examples of key words: European dimension; Sustainable results; Advocacy; Competitiveness; Multiplication effect. In the European project, emphasise an achievement of competitive advantage over American economy (education). In the American project, emphasise spreading the models of the competitive society and publicity. V. Do not be afraid to repeat the project s major goal and its advantage over other projects several times (even as many as ten times) in a five-page long project.
19 How to Write a Good Project VI. Show why your institution is the most suitable one for the project implementation. VII. Check several times if all the formal requirements have been met (an evaluator will be happy to reject even the most perfect project if he/she finds a formal fault). VIII. Do not apply for the total amount of the grant (it does not look credible). IX. Apply for 75% - 80%. Carefully plan the budget for particular separate activities (moving funds is often limited to 10% of the total budget figure). X. Analyse the projects that were rejected. It will help you win the future ones.
20 How to Write a Good Project XI. XII. Find an appropriate number of partners who will implement the project (usually for the EU project it is necessary to have 2 (rarely 1) partners from the EU). It is often worthwhile to invite also partners from your own country and thus show that the project implementation will contribute to the development of institutions other than your own. The project should bring long-term results (all granting institutions like it a lot) that extend beyond the period of the project duration. XIII. Prove that implementing even an individual project will contribute to the development of local community, region or industry. XIV. At first, try to prepare projects for the so-called easy programmes (e.g., Socrates- Erasmus) and gradually increase the complexity of the projects. XV. In the initial period of establishing international cooperation do not create a separate special organisational unit. It should be your (the president s) task. You yourself have to know the methods, procedures and secrets of applying and only later can you pass these on to your employees.

Thanks for the good work on this stuff. Very good! The only feedback I can give; I didn't see specifics on failure. I think in some instances this needs modified, such as in a known hostile/always changing environment. Possibly this doesn't belong here? scott Dibyendu Majumdar wrote: > Jean, > > Attached is an updated recovery.xml.

|[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-968) Duplicated IDs in _all_docs
|Sat, 27 Nov 2010 21:53:38 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-968?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12964457#action_12964457 ] Bob Dionne commented on COUCHDB-968: ------------------------------------ My first case also involved compaction. Here's a simpler case: 1. create db1 and db2 2. start continuous replication between them in both directions 3. add a doc to db1 4. update the same doc 1005 times (where 1000 is the max revs, it doesn't fail at 1001 as you would suspect) 5. compact db1 It will have 3 dups of doc1 in it. This is against trunk with the default config. #4 seems to be a good clue that it involves the rev limit, replication and compaction > Duplicated IDs in _all_docs > --------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-968 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-968 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 > Environment: Ubuntu 10.04. > Reporter: Sebastian Cohnen > > We have a database, which is causing serious trouble with compaction and replication (huge memory and cpu usage, often causing couchdb to crash b/c all system memory is exhausted). Yesterday we discovered that db/_all_docs is reporting duplicated IDs (see [1]). Until a few minutes ago we thought that there are only few duplicates but today I took a closer look and I found 10 IDs which sum up to a total of 922 duplicates. Some of them have only 1 duplicate, others have hundreds. > Some facts about the database in question: > * ~13k documents, with 3-5k revs each > * all duplicated documents are in conflict (with 1 up to 14 conflicts) > * compaction is run on a daily bases > * several thousands updates per hour > * multi-master setup with pull replication from each other > * delayed_commits=false on all nodes > * used couchdb versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.x (*) > Unfortunately the database's contents are confidential and I'm not allowed to publish it. > [1]: Part of http://localhost:5984/DBNAME/_all_docs > ... > {"id":"9997","key":"9997","value":{"rev":"6096-603c68c1fa90ac3f56cf53771337ac9f"}}, > {"id":"9999","key":"9999","value":{"rev":"6097-3c873ccf6875ff3c4e2c6fa264c6a180"}}, > {"id":"9999","key":"9999","value":{"rev":"6097-3c873ccf6875ff3c4e2c6fa264c6a180"}}, > ... > [*] > There were two (old) servers (1.0.0) in production (already having the replication and compaction issues). Then two servers (1.0.x) were added and replication was set up to bring them in sync with the old production servers since the two new servers were meant to replace the old ones (to update node.js application code among other things). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Name: Tiffany Maxwell
Lives: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Marital Status: Widowed
Occupation: Unemployed (recently fired)
Characteristics: aggressive, moody, sexual,
doesn't care about what others think, bitter,
emotionally unintelligent, dedicated
*stop at 1:55*
Tiffany Maxwell
Silver Linings Playbook
Tiffany Maxwell's emotional intelligence, borderline personality disorder, self concept, and stunt in Erikson's theory of development all contribute to her eccentric personality and cynical view of the world.
Emotional Intelligence
*sorry it is a tad long.
However, here it accurately depicts her inability to convey and understand others emotions
Problems with regulating emotions and thoughts
Impulsive and reckless behavior
Unstable relationships with other people.
Borderline Personality Disorder
*After this scene, Tiffany then bursts
into tears when Pat says Tommy is dead,
falls into Pats arms, then slaps him and walks away.
She essentially goes from sexual to sad to angry in a matter of seconds
Inflated self image
Her ideal self
Positive self esteem
Self Concept
the image that we have of ourselves
*pardon the foul language, but here
she clearly demonstrates how she values herself
and how others value her
Until Tiffany meets Pat, she seems stuck in the "school age" from ages 6-12 yrs. old that focuses on obtaining a sense of competence and humility-- the acceptance of the course of her life
Erikson's Theory of Development
*here she seems to be flailing about in life not taking any potential consequences into consideration
Tiffany's problems seem to be related to both long term and short term stressors
Besides borderline personality disorder, none of her issues seem to be related to brain function, but rather to her environment
Final Diagnosis
Over the movie she clearly grows as a person, she has the potential to grow even more in her and Pat's future life together
*you don't have to watch the whole thing, but it's the best part of the movie and shows the final product of what her and Pat had been working on for so long.

non uniform vector's component in BC
Hi there,
I know this topic is very famous and I heard also nice quote about it here :). And i am asking for help not because I am lazy. Believe me, i read all the posts about topic. It's just I don't know too much about C++ to manage the right stuff! I am sorry to ask again but since the new release openfoam 2.1.0 has the "polynomial" boundary condition could anyone help me doing what follows...?
I need to set a vector U=(a 0 0) with a=a_0*y^2+a_1*y as BC in the inlet of the "pitzdaily" case (everything is given in the function). Is there someone could give me the exact way to insert that in the 0/U file?
I really appreciate your help in advance!
ps: Later I will post the modified file for a future use!
Download and install the swak4foam library of Bernard Gschaider:
and look at the pulsedPitzDaily example. It show's exactly what you want.
Hi Eelc,
thank you very much! I am having a look at the files and I am waiting for the informatic staff will install them...but they seem to be what I need! I really appreciate, thank again!
Now we are debating on it...do you know if does it exist a case with a "real" 3D mesh for the Pitzdaily case? One with a real thicknees in the spanwise direction...
Anyway thank again you solved a very hard problem (I hope...) :)!
Regards and good luck!
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to assign spatial non uniform boundary condition at inlet, for example a parabolic velocity profile. Nevertheless, boundary conditions are steady in time.
I have found this page with your comments, do you think the swak4foam library is what I need?
And also if yes, is it possible to assign the velocity profile of any shape tabulated from a csv or any other kind of text file?
Thank you for your help.
