Del Monte Foods is growing with cloud
Del Monte Foods, Inc. transforms its IT infrastructure and transitions to public cloud.
Del Monte Foods, Inc. transforms its IT infrastructure and transitions to public cloud.
Del Monte, one of the top two businesses in a highly-competitive packaged foods market, saw growth in their category slowing.
To stand out in a tightening market, keep pace with evolving customer expectations and prepare for the next phase of growth, Del Monte started the journey into the future by transforming IT infrastructure and transitioning to the public cloud.
"We can now deploy resources to work on the most important things, which are developing new products for our customers."
– CHAD ANDERSON, CIO – Del Monte Foods
With our help, Del Monte moved 200 servers—including 50 complex SAP workloads—to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in less than four months.
From increased operational agility to streamlined business processes, Del Monte now enjoys the benefits of operating in the public cloud. The ongoing standardization and automation of IT support services has reduced infrastructure-provisioning time, enabling Del Monte to resolve IT issues in hours instead of weeks or months, and company leaders have more visibility into IT operations and spend than before.
"Our vision was to make technology operations as efficient and scalable as possible."
– CHAD ANDERSON, CIO – Del Monte Foods
Complex workloads
In less than four months
While this transformation has had immediate operational benefits, it's the long-term opportunities that are exciting for Del Monte.
Del Monte now has the flexibility to scale up its IT operations and can meet changes to demand across its yearly business cycle.
They've also pivoted from making significant capital investments to servicing ongoing operating expenditures, which has resulted in capital savings that can be reallocated in the company's growth strategy.
All of these advantages are making Del Monte future-ready and laying the foundation for a new era of modern growth and IT innovation.
"We can support our end users in a faster more live context, which allows us to be more innovative in our food industry."
– PJ BALSLEY, IT Director – Del Monte Foods

Apple's iCloud disparaged over Core Data sync problemsApple's ambitious plan to make iCloud the new digital hub for Mac and iOS users' documents, data and media files has run into complaints from developers who reportedly don't believe Apple will address their issues related to database sync. There's hope for thinking things will improve, however.
Frustrated with the limited options Apple provides for handling their issues, several app developers have taken their complaints public via blog entries, primarily focused on problems related to Core Data database sync with iCloud.
Their complaints have been picked up by journalists who often conflate these specific, limited database sync issues with Apple's entire spectrum of online services, resulting in headlines that pronounce the entire iCloud umbrella as being "broken," with no hope in sight, while castigating Apple for advertising iCloud as "automatic and effortless."
Apple's tightlipped secrecy makes it harder to reliably forecast how soon the company will precipitate fixes for specific issues, complicating developers' plans even as their own customers rain down complaints and poor reviews for either a lack of support for iCloud, or alternatively, syncing issues within an app after the developer adds support for iCloud.
"I would love for Apple to tell us they fixed everything with iCloud in iOS 7 and we can finally use it without issue two years later, but Im not getting my hopes up," one unnamed iOS developer reportedly told the Verge for an article headlined "Why doesn't iCloud 'just work'?"
The wide span of Apple's iCloud services
Further complicating things is the reality that "iCloud" is an extremely broad marketing term Apple nebulously uses to cover nearly all of its online services.
In general terms, "the cloud" refers to the Internet, often specifically to network based services, but more recently to simple "cloud storage" of files as well. Anything happening "in iCloud" is simply being done on Apple's servers, which includes Mail, Contacts and Calendar services. Developers aren't taking issue with any of these services, which despite some sporadic interruptions, have not generated unusual volumes of complaint from users.
Apple's various digital download and shopping services, including its industry leading media content in iTunes, iBooks and iOS and Mac App Store software are also roped together under the "iCloud" umbrella. This isn't the iCloud that developers are complaining about either.
The company also offers a unique app-based file storage service that saves documents "in the Cloud" for access from any one of a user's various Macs or iOS devices, and in some cases, from the web. Photo Stream, Find My iPhone, Back to My Mac, and various other data sync services (such as Safari bookmarks and Reading List) are also features associated with iCloud.
None of these features are directly related to the iCloud problems that developers are reporting, resulting in confusion for many of the 250 million users who don't see Apple's useful and generally reliable (but certainly not flawless) iCloud as being "broken."
The dark, silver lining of Apple's iCloud
The primary iCloud problems for third party app developers relate to issues with reliably syncing databases between their own apps and the cloud (and keeping them in sync across devices). This is handled by Core Data, an Apple framework designed to simplify the management and storage of data within an app for developers, allowing them to focus on the unique aspects of their software titles. Core Data itself is highly regarded among most developers.
Apple introduced Core Data back in 2005's Mac OS X Tiger, and made it available to App Store developers in iOS 3.0. Core Data enables developers to work with a user's data as objects, handing much of the complexity of data storage and retrieval for them. The Core Data framework provides options of how to store that data suited for different tasks: either as a simple XML text file or in binary data (both examples of a standard file), or within a SQLite database (a specialized file that contains organized data that is accessed and modified via specialized transactions).
When Apple introduced iCloud, it integrated a new "Documents & Data" feature of the service with the Core Data framework, to enable apps to leverage the familiar framework to save and retrieve an app's data via iCloud. For document-based data files or simple "key value pairs" (such as preference settings), iCloud seems to work pretty well.
"The core idea behind iCloud," Apple's developer documentation explains, "is to eliminate explicit synchronization between devices. A user never needs to think about syncing and your app never interacts directly with iCloud servers. When you adopt iCloud storage APIs as described in this document, changes appear automatically on all the devices attached to an iCloud account. Your users get safe, consistent, and transparent access to their personal content everywhere."
Actually implementing iCloud support in an app isn't trivial; Apple itself spent about a year adding iCloud support to various apps built into Mac OS X Mountain Lion, and it took some additional time to get iCloud-based files working between the iOS and Mac versions of its iWork apps (depicted below).
The more ambitious effort of syncing incremental changes made to an SQLite database with iCloud is even more complex. Several developers have reported considerable frustration in getting this to work at all, and their efforts are complicated by the unforeseen actions of users, who may, for example, log out of iCloud on their device and log in as a new user, throwing additional complexity into the situation.
While Apple has implemented document-based iCloud sync in its own apps, neither it nor its FileMaker subsidiary appear to be making any significant use of SQLite databases synced with iCloud. And if Apple isn't yet using it, you can bet that it isn't polished for third party developers either.
A catch-22 for innovation
The Mac and iOS platforms depend upon the architecture of Core Data (and its integration with iCloud) to present a number of innovative features. Everything from AutoSave to Versions (below) to Time Machine leverages the novel concept of incrementally saving users' work so that it can be rolled back, archived, and even synced between devices in real time. Apple has been rolling out and progressively enhancing these features (and their underlying frameworks) over the past several years.
During that time, Apple's critics have both complained about how unimpressed they are with every new bit of hardware Apple and software update the company has released, while also complaining about any changes and growing pains that have occured as a result of Apple's often aggressive plans to roll out new features.
The alternative solutions to Apple's iCloud dilemma (and more broadly, everything about OS X and iOS) would be to either greatly scale back innovation on all fronts (allowing competitors to catch up and critics to amplify their complaints that Apple 'isn't innovating enough'); to put "beta" warnings on new software features the way Google does to avoid harsh criticism of new software and features (as Apple did with Siri, although this didn't have any real effect); or to assemble larger teams to work on various projects (complicating development and increasing the staffing and operational issues the company already struggles under given its crowded campus and the difficulty of hiring qualified, experienced developers).

Kyle Koele: An Auggie with true grit
Kyle Koele '13 knows how to move – fast.
During a typical day on the Augsburg campus, this fourth-year physics student from Prescott, Wis., races from an early morning shift with the College's Facilities crew to a class in Science Hall—then on to a band rehearsal, a homework meeting, a workout session in the fitness center—and, finally, a keystone course.
Studying at Augsburg has been an opportunity for Koele to take on distinct challenges related to his education, his athleticism, and his goals for the future.
"I don't like to miss out on anything," Koele said of his demanding schedule. "I go from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and it's wearing down on me. I like being active but sometimes it catches up with me, and I have to reevaluate."
Often times when Koele "reevaluates," he simply redirects to a new forward course or an additional opportunity. He's just not the type of guy who can take a step backward.
A muddy student
Working an on-campus job, earning above-average grades, and leading Augsburg's club lacrosse team requires hard work, and Koele uses his uncommon endurance for these tasks and another particularly tough endeavor.
This year, while balancing his commitments as an engaged college student, Koele trained for—and participated in—Tough Mudder events.
The Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, Warrior Dash, Rugged Maniac, and Muddy Buddy are all "part of a new genre of athletic event—obstacle mud runs—that has exploded across the country," according to the Los Angeles Times. An estimated 1 million people took part in these "down-and-dirty races," in the United States last year and for many individuals completing a mud run is badge of honor.
Koele signed up for the Twin Cities Tough Mudder, an event he described as an "11.5-mile, 26-obstacle course created by British Special Forces to test all-around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.
"I ran the difficult course in just 2 hours, 31 minutes," Koele said. "It turns out I finished in the top 5 percent, and I was invited to participate in the World's Toughest Mudder Challenge."
Challenge accepted
Koele planned to spend summer 2012 conducting faculty-led, on-campus research through an Office of Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity (URGO) program. After Koele qualified for the World's Toughest Mudder—the culminating event of each year's mud run calendar—he amended his daily schedule to include long-distance jogs, playground workouts, and fitness regimens fit for a body-building movie star in addition to analyzing the earth's ionosphere using satellite data gathered with a research-grade GPS receiver.
Conducting research was a way for Koele to use concepts from his degree program in an applied lab setting and to work in a field he enjoys.
"In high school, I took physics in my senior year and I fell in love with it," Koele said. "Some people don't get math, but I can analyze a problem and figure it out before I write it down. I can see it in my head."
Koele said when he gets stuck on a physics assignment or experiment, he approaches it in much the same way that he would an obstacle in a Tough Mudder race.
"I think of a way to deal with the problem and start attacking it," he explained. "If I hit a dead end, I back up and look for a new route."
Koele completed his URGO project with David Murr, associate professor of physics. Koele developed computer code in MAT LAB, an engineering software tool, to analyze and visualize large amounts of data. Koele was selected for this project and named a Sundquist Scholar by faculty in Augsburg's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who recognized his strong academics and high abilities in a lab setting.
"Kyle was working with what I call 'big data,'" Murr said. "He sifted through 3 gigabytes of information per day, and developed the skills needed to accurately analyze that data. He's one of those well-rounded, team-oriented guys who is mature, humble, and has a great sense of humor. He's the guy that will be the glue that holds a team together."
Finding fellowship
During November, Koele completed the World's Toughest Mudder, lapping a 10-mile course five times in 24 hours and placing in the top 100 of more than 1,000 participants. He encountered 32 obstacles that included a tire drag, water tunnels, and electric shock. These physical and mental challenges were made bearable, in part, by the sense of collaboration and fellowship between himself and the other Mudders.
Teamwork comes naturally to Koele, who has helped to double the size the Augsburg club lacrosse team during his tenure as president and who said his favorite part of playing saxophone in the Augsburg Concert and Jazz bands is when rehearsals or ensemble trips nurture an environment of "people coming together and doing what they love, working toward a goal."
Robert Stacke, chair of music, works with student musicians who run the gamut from those who will perform and work in the industry for their careers to those who played in high school and want to continue performing through their college years. Koele, a member of the latter group of musicians, earned a scholarship to play at Augsburg. In addition to being a skilled player, Stacke said Koele's hard work ethic and team-minded personality add a great deal to the band.
"Kyle brings stability, reliability, and standards" to the ensembles, Stacke said. "His motivation and goal-oriented personality means he has a drive to keep on going through the hard stuff, and it is an inspiration to watch. Kyle is unique and brings much to our groups."
After graduating from Augsburg, Koele hopes to use his physics education in a career where he can develop space technology by building new satellites or rovers. Koele said he needs a vocation where he can experiment and do hands-on projects each day.
It's unlikely that he could sit behind a desk for long.

Sony KP-65XBR10W 65-inch HDTV Monitor
Sony's XBR series TVs have a devoted following, but some of the sets in the line tend to be priced higher than models with similar features from other set-makers. So if you're an XBR fan who is in the market for an HDTV with a really big screen, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the price of Sony's new 65-inch rear-projection HDTV monitor. At $5,500, the KP-65XBR10W is priced competitively with other king-size widescreen HDTVs.
One way Sony keeps the price down is by using 7-inch cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) to beam images at its 16:9 aspect ratio screen. A few other sets this size, including models from Philips and Zenith, use 9-inch CRTs, which are capable of delivering more detailed high-definition images than 7-inch tubes. But those sets cost nearly twice as much as the Sony. In any case, to watch HDTV on the 65XBR10W, you'll have to connect an outboard HDTV tuner. (Sony offers the SAT-HD100 for $799.)
Despite its competitive price, the Sony set still has plenty of interesting features, including a sophisticated picture-in-picture (PIP) function that lets you manually scale the size of PIP windows using the remote's joystick, and Sony's Flash Focus system, which automatically converges the three CRTs (more on this later). The set displays 1080i-format HDTV and 480p standard-definition signals at their native resolution and upconverts standard (480i) NTSC signals to a 960i display format.
In the styling department, Sony has come up with a very cool look for the set. Its screen is framed by a thin, metallic border, and the sides taper inward gently. The overall effect is to make the set, which is still pretty monstrous, seem lighter and slimmer than it is. When you look at it head-on with the lights turned down, you might be fooled into thinking that it's a flat-panel plasma display.

Who loves strawberries? Me!!!!! I do! I also love custard. Put those two together and you get a wonderful dessert called a Strawberry Clafoutis.
Clafoutis is French dessert typically made of fruit, especially cherries, and topped with a batter that resembles flan. In the past, when you make this dessert and use something other than black cherries, you would call it a Flaugnarde. However, it seems that there is a movement to change out the cherries for other fruits yet still call it a Clafoutis.
To me, what's more important is how it tastes. I love the creamy firm filling that tastes of warm vanilla. Coupled with sweet fresh strawberries, this dessert is a wonderful treat that makes my mouth happy!
I watched the Great British Bake Off (my favorite show) as I tested this dish. It felt appropriate. That show inspires me so much. This dessert is an example of something that is out of my normal repertoire yet feels like a treat that is special and unique. The bakes that are prepared on the show are always so creative and distinctive. This recipe is simple to put together but the flavor and texture feels complex and rich.
I hope you all are having a great week and trying new foods.

You know that woman who, when she's on the road and away from her beloved pooch, experiences dog withdrawal and is therefore compelled to chase down and interact with every canine she sees?
That woman is me.
I can't help it. I've always been this way. I love kids, too — in fact, I adore them — but with dogs, I'm like a heat-seeking missile. Once a dog is in my sights, I must meet him (or her), and the same questions streak through my mind: What's his name? Is he a mutt or an exotic purebred? How does he do that crazy thing with his ears? Is he friendly? Will his owner let me pet him?
Then I walk briskly in the direction of my quarry, being careful not to startle either party. I offer a warm smile and an upbeat hello, followed by some words of dog appreciation in the local language. Once I've exhausted whatever foreign vocabulary I may have at my disposal, pantomiming follows. (I've found that gesticulation can be surprisingly effective when language presents a barrier, and wonderful conversations have unfolded this way.) Eventually, as our chat winds down, I'll snap a photo or two to commemorate our time together.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
What I love about this pursuit, which I've affectionately dubbed "Dog Stalking," is that every interaction leaves me with a bit more knowledge … not only about the pooch I've just met, but also about his human, and his home country, and that nation's culture.
Dog love is, indeed, universal, and over the years, I've met countless dogs and their humans from around the world. My heart stirs when I come upon a pair whose connection is so strong, it's palpable.
In Europe, it tickles to me to see how dogs so seamlessly take part in every aspect of their humans' lives. You see them minding boutiques, dining out at restaurants and proudly strolling historic boulevards.
I snap thousands of pictures when I'm on the road. In pixels and megabytes, these photos illustrate some of the most unforgettable moments from my time away, ensuring that I'll never forget the characters, both canine and human, whom I've met.
Yet for me, the journey doesn't come full circle until I'm back in my native land and being greeted by my own furry kid, Theodore. He comes dashing to the door, full body wag in high gear, with his inimitable smile, sparkling eyes and a reminder that dogs make everything better. With him, finally, I am home.

NHL, NHLPA finish three days of CBA negotiationsby Dan Rosen
NEW YORK -- After three straight days of negotiations toward establishing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, both sides are taking a step back from the negotiations.
According to National Hockey League Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly, the League and the National Hockey League Players' Association each have internal work to do.
There are no further meetings currently scheduled.
"It's not like we're breaking off negotiations, it's that we need a little more time to do some work," Daly said after a five-hour negotiating session Sunday at the League office. "[The Union has] got some work to do, too."
The meeting Sunday continued negotiations on various health and player-safety issues, including drug testing and medical care, that the sides had briefly discussed during a session Friday. The League and the Union also had a lengthy discussion about various CBA legal issues, Daly said.
The interpretation of hockey-related revenue definitions, which was the focus of the session Saturday, was not discussed Sunday.
"We covered a number of areas with the Players' Association [Saturday] and they covered a number of areas with us," Daly said. "We talked about reconvening to talk about HRR when they were prepared to respond to the issues we raised [Saturday]."
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr were not present in the negotiations Sunday. Commissioner Bettman and Fehr held one-on-one discussions on both Friday and Saturday. There was no such discussion Sunday, Daly said.
"I think that may show or demonstrate more than anything else the nature of the issues we're talking about," Daly said. "We're really talking about micro issues, issues that we deal with on a day-to-day basis that don't necessarily rise to the Commissioner's level or the executive director's level. They will be at the table when we're talking about the issues that are really going to get this deal done or not."
Daly continued to refer to the issues discussed during the past 72 hours as important to getting a deal done, but not as essential as coming to an agreement on the critical economic and systematic issues that divide the two sides.
"What we're doing now and what we've done for the last two days, I don't think any of that is going to get a deal done but they are all necessarily elements of the deal," Daly said. "Again, I hate to keep saying it because I'm going to sound like a broken record, but we need some movement on the economic issues [from the Union]. We need some movement on the system issues. We need them to be scheduled as a subject of a meeting. Right now, the Union is not prepared to do that."
NHLPA Special Counsel Steve Fehr would not comment when he was asked if the Union is internally discussing the idea of bringing a new economic proposal to the bargaining table.
"We discuss all sorts of things internally and unless and until Don or the players choose to make the internal discussions public, I'll keep them private," Steve Fehr said.
Daly said the League has no choice but to start thinking about cancelling early regular-season games.
"Obviously as the calendar ticks along and we get into October we're obviously going to have to start making those decisions," Daly said.
The NHL has already canceled the preseason schedule. Opening night for the 2012-13 regular season is Oct. 11.
Steve Fehr added that progress was made on the issues that were discussed Sunday, calling it a productive day.
"I would say that it's good we're talking," Steve Fehr said, referring to the past three days of meetings. "It is true that we could have done this last week or the week before or the week before that, but it's a lot better than doing it three weeks from now. So, I think it's some progress and hopefully it will continue."
The sides will remain in contact and decide when to meet again after holding internal discussions.
"We covered a lot of things over the last three days and we each have a lot of homework projects to do and things to get together, drafts we owe each other on certain things," Daly said. "We think [Monday] is best served by using it for that purpose."

Chatwood, Chacin making progress
DENVER -- Tyler Chatwood and Jhoulys Chacin, two pitchers projected to join the Rockies' starting rotation, are making progress in their injury-rehabilitation assignments and appear to be on track to return in the coming weeks.
Chatwood (8-5, 3.15 ERA in 2013) went through pitcher's fielding practice on Sunday, and is scheduled to start for the Triple-A Sky Sox in Round Rock, Texas, on Tuesday. Chatwood suffered a left hamstring strain in the final week of Spring Training and is eligible to return from the disabled list on April 13 in San Francisco. Starting on Tuesday will put him on schedule to pitch that day. Based on the rotation's current lineup, that would be Jordan Lyles' (1-0, 7.20) turn.
"He'll make his rehab start, and we'll go from there," manager Walt Weiss said of Chatwood. "If all goes well, he'll be back in the rotation after that."
Chacin (14-10, 3.47), who had been a candidate to start Opening Day until suffering a right shoulder strain that put him on the disabled list retroactive to March 21, is also making progress and could be activated late in April or early in May.
Chacin has pitched in two live-batting-practice sessions and is scheduled for a simulated game on Monday or Tuesday. He'll pitch roughly three innings and 45 pitches in the simulated game. The next step for him will be to pitch in extended spring training in advance of a Minor League rehab start.

They were really good, they had to come back to do it in two parts but it was agreeable. He was really nice and came out to give a few quotes before doing the work which he did not have to.
Masood and his team have done a good job with our ducted system. Very accommodating and very patient with all my enquiries. The guys turned up on time and work efficiently. I would definitely recommend to others.
Masood is fantastic. Very honest , upfront and great experience overall . Quotes were reasonable. Great work overall.
We were happy with everything, they were very positive and very clean.
Highly recommended great work done by there staff and very good customer service
Thank you Massod for your wonderful service. From start to finish, you and your team delivered what you promised on time and with great care. We would recommend you and your team without hesitation. Much gratitude to all of you. Frank and Rita Micallef
They were professional, prompt and delivered the product as specified.
We chose Masood over another cheaper quote as he made time for us on 2 different days to explain about the Daikin ducted airconditioning. The installation was perfectly done no mess anywhere it was done very professionally. I highly recommed Masood and his team!
Masood, Manzoor and the team were fabulous – from the time the quote was accepted to installation was less than a week. The team of 4 got onto the job and i hardly heard from them, they were neat and tidy beyond expectations, other than the cool air you wouldn't have noticed anything happened. They had to put in two new vents and replace the air return and there wasn't dust anywhere. When we need to replace our second unit I will definitely contact Masood.
The contractor was very efficient. Their recommendation for unit size was well received. The workers were very well qualified and completed their tasks without prompting. The unit works better than my expectations My home was clean upon their completion and rubbish removed promptly.

For the sake of the republic that we're all living in, For the fate of the public and our future's kin, For our place in politics in the global zen, I, this Republican't win. So stop me.

Can anyone figure out the emotional ride of a baseball season?
Gloom took over last Thursday after the struggling Astros swept four from the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Three days later glee replaced gloom following a three-game sweep in San Diego of the Padres, who had the best record in the NL, the lowest team ERA and the fewest errors. The Phillies have now swept a series at Petco Park in 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2010.
Brilliant starting pitching by Roy-O, Joe and Cole told the weekend story. Combined, they allowed two runs on 15 hits in 22 innings while walking one and striking out 15. For Cole, it was his first win since July 11. Figure that one out.
The Padres committed four errors yesterday, one more than the total number of runs they scored over three games. Their three runs came on a solo homer, balk and RBI single by Saturday's starting pitcher.
With a lefty on the mound yesterday and Howard struggling, Sweeney played first and hit his first NL home run. Watching on TV, he seemed as excited as a kid opening a birthday present.
Southern California trip continues tonight in Los Angeles against the Dodgers–night, night, day. Phillies rode busses from San Diego north to LA after yesterday's game.

Milestone Blog
Well, folks, today's blog is the 900th from my keyboard. First one was March 20, 2006. It was initially called "The Baron's Corner." MLB.com's Mark Newman, the blog professor, suggested the name be changed to Phillies Insider. I didn't argue because Mark knew better.
Looked up the word blog in my trusty, dusty Webster's dictionary that I wore out (I'm exaggerating) in college. The words blog, internet and computer didn't even exist in the 1957 edition. So, checked out Webster's website for a description of a blog:
"Full name: weblog a journal written on-line and accessible to users of the internet."
Paul Bodi was the MLB.com eastern regional editor when I begin writing the blog. "What should I write," I begged. "Whatever you want." Hey, I figured I could handle that.
Some of the stuff has been brilliant; some has been bad. I've tried to give you a different look at the Phillies, something you wouldn't read elsewhere. That is the goal.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully, you didn't fall asleep too often.

FORT WALTON BEACH � In general, the Okaloosa County School District�s finances appear to be in good shape, according to a recently completed audit.
The Florida Auditor General�s Office identified a few issues with the district�s procedures and practices during its financial, operation and federal single audit, but overall found the �district�s basic financial statements were presented fairly, in all respects, in accordance with the prescribed financial reporting standards.�
�They�re always going to have some findings,� said Rita Scallan, the district�s chief financial officer. � � But it�s a good audit. It shows that we are doing things as we should be.�
Read the full audit report.
The school district is audited annually, but every three years the Auditor General's Office conducts its own audit, she said.
Fourteen issues were uncovered when finances and procedures from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 were reviewed.
The most significant finding was a series of reporting errors for construction-related projects, but safeguards have since been put in place to correct it and ensure it doesn�t happen again, Scallan said.
�There was no impact to the bottom line of the financial statement,� Scallan said. �It was a matter of when the liability should have been reported.�
The district was also citied for not having a procedure for reporting fraud and not providing �evidence that ad valorem tax levy proceeds were used for authorized purposes,� the report stated.
The district is working to amend those problems as well as the other 11 issues identified, according to a response to the audit submitted by Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson.
One other issue identified in the audit was the district�s reliance on state funding for the bulk of its budget.
�The School Board of Okaloosa County remains in stable financial condition but continues to face uncertain economic times,� the report stated. �The district�s current operations depend on state revenue sources � The primary source of state revenue is sales tax, which has demonstrated to be an unstable and unreliable revenue stream.�
Discussions in the state House and Senate indicate they plan to increase K-12 funding by more than $1 billion in the upcoming budget year because of positive signs in the economy, but it�s unclear exactly how the money will be dispersed.
Right now, Gov. Rick Scott has proposed increasing per-student funding by more than $400, but the House has a budget increasing it by $395 and the Senate has one boosting it by only $372.
The difference between the House�s proposal and the Senate�s could diminish the district�s bottom line by about $750,000, Scallan said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

~When you speak, I hear silence. Every word a defiance~
Cpu looks solid, yes I would start from borderlands to see how it fares especially on zergs. EB especially SM can be pretty taxing especially when 3 factions are fighting for the castle.
Hey. I have been wandering if my lap top could run this for a while. Im not looking to run it on ultra and i dont really care if i have to run it on low. I just want to no if i will have good FPS. I will not be playing WvW at all. Im planing on mainly PVE and mabey a little PVP. Here are the specs.
CPU- AMD Athlon(tm) II P340 Dual-Core Processor
2.2 GHz
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
Video Card- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
Any responses would be great. Thanks.
I'm wondering, has anyone tested GW2 on E8400? Planning to play at 1920 / 1080 with max settings (except shadows, shaders, supersampling).
4gb ram OC
radeon 5850 extreme OC
Anyone played it with similar rig? Im especially interested in C2D 8xxx series as this game is cpu demanding. Would i be able to hold 30fps in arena pvp?
Ok. My spec is :
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 2.33 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series
I can run the game on 20-30 fps in PVE, but when i get in wvw(fights with more than 5-10 ppl) or dragon fights my fps drops below 5. Where is the problem?
Can it work with low settings on my Laptop?:
Windows Vista
AMD Athlon Dual core ql-60 1.9 ghz
4gb RAM
Ati radeon hd 3200
and what is lowest possible display resolution in this game? 800x600 ?

Hello i know my computer can run it but would will i be able to make it at high settings ??
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 975 Extreme Edition @ 3.33GHz
Asus GTX 570
12gb ram
Edit : More details about my rig is at my signature

I'd say yes.
For me the performance is 10 times better compared to release. I'm running it on max with an intel 2500k not clocked, 8 gb ram, SSD and a 560'GTX. Nothing is oc'd and I max it out (27" screen too).
This is more of a personal performance issue. I cannot manage to see boss animations which one shot me. The biggest issues are at Dwayna for example, when there are many people there are just so many spelleffects which cause me tomsee the boss as one big ball of light, every now and then I see the boss through it but I just can't avoid it's attacks because of this.
Is there any way to tune this down to make sure you can see stuff like this properly?
Hi guys,
My systems specs are:
i7 2600k
AMD HD 7970 with 13.4 Catalyst Drivers(latest)
Samsung HDD 7200 RPM – 1TB
Windows 7 – Updated to the newest build
But I get 20 FPS even on the lowest settings…. I run at 2560 × 1600 resolution but lowering that to 1600 × 1200 didn't change anything, I still got 20 FPS on the lowest settings. Any help please?
Hi! I recently bought a computer and am wondering if I can run this game, and if so, how high the settings can I run it on?
The specs are:
Operating System: Windows 8 64 bit
CPU Processer: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs),~ 3.4GHz
Direct X: 11
GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 660
Thanks for the help!
Last edited by DoctorDoomkin; 2013-08-27 at 11:55 PM. Reason: Forgot CPU processor
I'm immensely confused and frustrated.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 860, 2.80 GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8 GHz
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 5800, 1 GB, 875 MHz
By all accounts I can find (or understand), I should be able to run this game just fine.
But with low settings, I get 20 FPS maximum.
I've updated to the latest drivers and messed with all the settings ANet recommends. Anyone have any further suggestions?
- - - Updated - - -
I should also make something else clear: I'm running on a PC I built on my own. Everything definitely does work, but are there any common mistakes I could have made during assembly that could cause this kind of behavior?
That's a pretty low amount of RAM. I'd get some more RAM like 6-8 gigs. Also update your Graphics card.
Those having performance issues with AMD cards (e.g. super-low FPS at any settings), you need to experiment with different driver versions, and make sure you do "clean" installs of the drivers (i.e. fully remove previous drivers and then install the new ones).
My fps totally depends on the number of players in the area, but in open zones I get around ~95-130fps @ 1920x1080. All settings fully maxed (except Shadows which is on High), using Supersample textures. Specs are i5 2500K @ 4.7ghz, 8GB RAM, GTX780 @ 1215/7000mhz. The game makes full use of the GPU, pushing it to 99% load...which is awesome.
But GW2 has strangely long loading times considering I've put it on a Samsung 830 SSD, most other games fly. For example just switching between Heart Of The Mists and Lion's Arch puts me through full-duration loading screens even though I just came back from the previous area (a lot of it should already be on RAM). Weird.

I have been playing for a while now but in WvW its like watching a power point presentation... is the reason why I can only run the game on lowest settings because of my computer or could it be something else?
It's your computer. That's an absolutely ancient dual-core CPU (actually getting rare these days) and HD5570 could barely be called a graphics card, I think the latest onboard solutions are actually better lol.
Not meaning any offense of course, just saying it how it is
There isn't much you can do besides a 100% full upgrade to your entire rig.

Does anyone know if GW2 would be playable in WvW using integrated graphics on minimum settings?
I'm getting a new rig soon with an i7-4770k (HD 4600 integrated graphics.) I'm waiting on AMD to release their new r9 290 gpu's with non-reference coolers, and was wondering if i could get by for the moment just using integrated graphics that comes with the CPU.

Business meetings may involve just a few individuals, or at times, many people. Not everybody is born with the talent to address so many people, especially when the object is to promote an idea or product or explain some financial statement. It may involve the takeover of a business, starting of new business, or negotiations of a deal. It may be called to obtain the approval of shareholders to sell assets of the company, or raise share capital. It may be necessary to consult experts or partners on any business matter, or plan how to deploy surplus monies on hand.
Even briefing meetings and brainstorming meetings for coming out of any crisis can be classified as business meetings. Periodical review of productivity, marketing, and financial liabilities, etc., are all part and parcel of business meetings, as are pitch sessions. Likewise, meetings where personnel requirements, and other issues related to personnel are discussed also qualify as business meetings. In addition to these, there might be creditors, and debtors meetings.
Based on the type of business that is to be conducted, meetings may be classified as conferences, seminars, board meetings, annual general meetings, extraordinary general meetings, creditors, meetings, debtors meeting and sales meetings.
Any business meeting should be conducted with a predefined agenda. This is absolutely essential otherwise the matters that are discussed at the meeting may end up completely overshadowing the important matters that need to be resolved immediately. The agenda may be accompanied by some documents providing details and explanations on various items in the agenda. This enables the recipients to mull over the contents, and come up with their input on the matter.
A reasonable notice needs to be given so that no stakeholder feels excluded from the meeting. The time and venue of the meeting too needs to be clearly defined in such notice.
There are legal provisions for calling shareholders meetings, and board meetings. When the meeting involves just a few individuals, like a board meeting, then such notice may be given verbally. But it is always advisable to have documentary evidence, or an email to prove that the meeting was called, and reasonable notice was given.
Since one discussion can lead to another and the meetings can end up nowhere, it is always better to conclude matters that can be resolved quickly first, and keep complex matters that require extensive discussions for later part of the meeting. For ensuring this, there has to be somebody who conducts the meeting, and opens each item for discussion and resolution. It is the responsibility of this person to ensure that the matters discussed do not deviate from what is stated in the notice or agenda. The person leading the meeting needs to ensure that any new matters if made are duly noted so that another meeting may be called, and opinions of all concerned on the matter can be obtained.
Another problem with large gathering is that people tend to repeat the same questions or the same opinions. The person conducting the meeting needs to ensure that this is minimized, as everybody's time is valuable. Using a timer helps.

NOTE: Individuals who have held a PhD or MD degree for more than 5 years at the time of application are not eligible for an LSRF fellowship.
The application contains three tabs, Applicant Info, Research Proposal and Letters of Reference and Support. Instructions for filling out the application are provided below and next to the appropriate fields in the application. Read these instructions carefully before filling out the application.
Verify that all email addresses listed (yours, your supervisor, your references) are correct and current. Proofread all typing after inserting these into the application. If the email address is not correct your supervisor and referees will not receive the email from LSRF with the instructions and link to upload their letters. AN INCORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS IS THE NUMBER ONE MISTAKE THAT APPLICANTS MAKE.
Supervisor and all Referee's names must be listed by the applicant before the deadline. These names and addresses cannot be listed after October 1.
List all Supervisor and Referee's names and email addresses; do not list his/her assistant's email address. LSRF must have all the recommender's information on file. Do not list more than one supervisor/referee in each slot. (Joint supervisors may be discussed in the single supervisor letter.)
If you encounter a problem in uploading your files into the application try switching the web browser you are using. If that doesn't help it may be that your file is too large.
U.S. citizens are eligible to work in any geographic location while holding an LSRF fellowship. Non-U.S. citizens must work in a U.S. laboratory to be eligible for an LSRF fellowship.
A laboratory may have only one LSRF fellow at a time. Multiple applicants may apply from the same laboratory however, if multiple applicants from the same laboratory are selected as finalists only one fellowship may be awarded. You may apply if there is already an LSRF fellow in the proposed laboratory and the existing fellow is in their final year of funding. In this case if you are awarded, your fellowship would begin as the current fellow's funding ends and there is no conflict.
Individuals who have held a PhD or MD degree for more than 5 years at the time of application are not eligible for an LSRF fellowship.
Individuals intending to remain in their thesis labs to complete their proposed LSRF postdoctoral research project are not eligible for an LSRF fellowship. You must complete your LSRF research project in a different lab. Working as a postdoc in your thesis lab for a brief period before moving to your new postdoc lab is acceptable.
LSRF does not require letters from your institution's grants office at the time of application. The only requirement is that you list his/her name and email address. If and when an applicant is chosen for a fellowship, both you and the institution will be contacted. We recommend that you provide a copy of your completed application along with these instructions to your sponsored programs office so they are aware of your application.
LSRF does not require college transcripts, animal certification documents or any type of visa documents.
LSRF does not require signatures at the time of application.
LSRF must be notified if you accept another fellowship at any time during the application and review process (October 1 through July 31). An email to Susan DiRenzo will suffice.
LSRF cannot supply you with a sample proposal, nor can it supply you with a critique of your submission.
LSRF receives more than 1000 applications per year and awards 15-25 fellowships per year. The number of fellowships awarded depends entirely on our fundraising efforts that year. The LSRF does not have an endowment. We were able to fund 24 of 55 finalists in 2017 and 27 of 55 finalists in 2018.
Timeline for Application Submission, Evaluation and Funding
September 4: Website opens for applications

Netgear N600 DGND3700 [mac] full review
The DGND3700 is a rather plain-looking router, but its appearance doesn't do justice to the hardware in contains. As well as all the usual aspects of premium wireless routers, such as supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks, the ability to work with both cable and DSL internet connections, Gigabit Ethernet and two USB ports at the back, it provides plenty of ways to use all the technology it offers.
For example, it has a built-in DLNA server, allowing streaming of music or video from attached USB storage to any other device that supports it, including certain televisions. You can choose to share files as a local network share, or over the internet via FTP or secure HTTP. This works perfectly well, but due to the limited scope for editing security settings in the built-in software, we'd prefer an FTP or Web server running on a dedicated computer when sharing files online.
Netgear has used the same frame-based design for its on-board software interface for years, and it looks more suited to a budget router than one that costs this much. Nevertheless there are lots of options to configure the network, with the usual port forwarding, QOS settings and firewall, and the addition of content filtering. This isn't as advanced as the whitelists DrayTek uses on its Vigor routers, but you can still block specific domains and keywords for some computers, while allowing them for others
The DGND3700 is quite expensive, considering some of these extras are already present in cheaper models. However its performance is what sets it apart, beaten only by the more expensive Fritz!box and DrayTek Vigor. At short range, our file transferred across at 75Mbps while at long range it achieved 30Mbps.
This added performance just about makes it worth the asking price, although given the choice, we'd prefer to pay less and forgo a few of the router's features.

What's new on the Student Reports
The updated I-CANyons Student Reports will give parents of elementary school students a progress report for Term 1 and Term 2, and an End-of-Year Summary issued after Term 3 to reflect students' mastery of standards.
Term 1 and Term 2: How Your Student Is Progressing
The three indicators in Term 1 and Term 2 to report an elementary school student's understanding and progress toward mastery of the content are as follows:
- 3: On Track at this Time - Student is on track to master this standard by the end of the school year.
- 2: Progressing - Student is making progress toward meeting the standard at this time; sometimes demonstrating skills needed to meet standards, at other times showing a lack of understanding or ability to apply the concept or skills.
- 1: Insufficient Progress - Student is showing risk of not mastering the standard by the end of the year and is receiving intervention support.
Term 3: How Your Student Did
An End-of-Year Summary is provided following the close of Term 3 at the end of the school year. It will contain three indicators that reflect mastery of the standards:
- 3M: Mastered – Student has mastered this standard.
- 2NYM: Not Yet Mastered – Student has mastered some but not all of the skills necessary to consistently apply this standard to future learning.
- 1NYM: Not Yet Mastered – Student will require on-going intervention to master this standard.
Why Replace Traditional Report Cards?
In the past, student grades have included subjective factors like attendance, effort, and attitude. In the I-Canyons Student Reports, student mastery and work habits are reported separately in order to give a more accurate report of student progress. The updated I-Canyons Student Reports reflect a student's current understanding of the content, as well as a student's progress toward understanding the content.
Unlike letter grades, the I-CANyons Student Reports do not average lower scores that may have been earned in the beginning of the semester. This format is designed to give parents a clear understanding of what students have learned as a result of their experience in school. It also gives parents and teachers the tools they need to identify precisely where each individual child needs help.
I-CANyons History
The I-Canyons Student Reports show student progress toward mastery of learning standards. They were crafted by Canyons District educators over two years' time and used in 92 classrooms in six CSD schools in 2012-2013 before their debut in the 2013-2014 school year.
The reports, updated for 2014-2015, will give parents specific information about their child's understanding of the content, now in a more informative, user-friendly format. They also give teachers and parents tools to help students succeed.
The I-Canyons Student Reports contain separate reports of the following:
- A child's mastery of academic standards in language arts and math;
- A child's learning skills that support academic success; and
- A child's growth over time on grade-level benchmarks in language arts and math.
Grading for Learning
Parents - Why and What
Parents - Why and What full
O'Connor, otherwise known as "The Grade Doctor," offered a free workshop titled "Changing Assessment and Grading: What and Why?" for parents, patrons and guardians of children in Canyons schools in summer 2014. O'Connor also conducted separate workshops with Canyons District principals and administrators during his visit to the District. A video of O'Connor's presentation can be found at iTunes U.

This tip helps group lines with the same pattern at the current cursor column, assuming that the lines have already been sorted so that lines with the same pattern occur consecutively. Applying this tip will insert a blank line after each group of matching lines.
The following code defines a function and a mapping to call the function:
" Press y to yank the wanted text, before calling function. nnoremap <F9> :call GroupMatchingLines()<CR> function! GroupMatchingLines() let pattern = strpart(getline('.'), col('.') - 1, strlen(@@)) if !empty(pattern) let pattern = escape(pattern, '\.*$^~[') let col_cursor = col('.') let pattern = '\%'.col_cursor.'c'.'\('.pattern.'\)\@!' let [rowm,colm] = searchpos(pattern,'W') if rowm > 0 .-1put ='' exe 'normal! j'.col_cursor.'|' return endif endif echo 'String not found' endfunction
Assume you have sorted some lines using the four characters under the "xxxx" as the sort key (the "xxxx" line is not part of the data):
..........xxxx.......... 00003710001*019062728001 00004010001*019172721001 00001720001*010094721001 00004019001*021072721008 01002710001*020092721001 00004710001*031022121061 00204312001*030092721001 00004710001*031072721001
Visually select the string
1*01 in the first line, under "xxxx", then press
y to copy the text. Now you can press F9 to group lines that match at the same column position. Each time you press F9, a blank line is inserted before the next line that does not match the current pattern. The following shows the text after pressing F9 twice:
00003710001*019062728001 00004010001*019172721001 00001720001*010094721001 00004019001*021072721008 01002710001*020092721001 00004710001*031022121061 00204312001*030092721001 00004710001*031072721001
The function assumes that the unnamed register (
@@ or
@") holds a copy of the text that you want matched. Only the length of the text is used. Each time that the function is called, it builds a search pattern using the current position of the cursor and the length of the text in the unnamed register. Special characters (
\.*$^~[) are escaped, and so can be used in the pattern. In the above example, the text is "
1*01". The search pattern created is
\%11c\(1\*01\)\@! which consists of:
\%11cmatch at byte 11
\(1\*01\)grouped and escaped pattern
\@!match if the preceding does not match

Scientific studies by Switzerland's of Pharmacology and Toxicology conducted in 2001 prove chemical sunscreens have detrimental consequences. Chemical compounds in sunscreens can accumulate in body fats and in mother's breast milk. These chemicals mimic estrogen and can cause hormonal changes within the body such as increasing the size of the uterus.
Additionally, synthetic sunscreens are not immediately effective, requiring a 20-30 minute delay after application before it becomes effective.
A 100% natural mineral sunblock: Titanium Dioxide in cream form is a preferred delivery method. . This is absolutely safe, even for children, and protects immediately against UV A, B & C rays. It does not alter the healthy functioning of internal organs and reproductive hormones.
Synthetic sunscreen chemicals to avoid:
- 4-Methyl-Benzylidencamphor (4-MBC)
- Oxybenzone Benzophenone-3
- Octyl-methoyl-cinnamates (OMC)
- Octyl-Dimethyl-Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid (OD-PABA)
