It's been said that the only difference between a native Texan and an adopted Texan is who complains more about the crazy, long hot summers. For those of you who know neither, believe me when I tell you the natives complain a lot more. The adoptees relish it.
A lifelong Texan and passionate runner, my idea of good weather is not based on how hot and sunny it is outside. I prefer a temperature just shy of 50 degrees with plenty of cloud coverage, and even a little rain is welcome. As my skin sizzled under the 97 degree sky yesterday, I was thinking about IBM CloudBurst and wishing I could order up my own personal cloud . . . maybe someday IBM will invent that!
For now, I remain very impressed with the cloud that IBM does offer today. You will be too, if you attend the June 25 webcast, A Breakthrough in Service Delivery for Data Center Workloads hosted by Doug Brown, Chris O'Connor and Don Thomas.
In the mean time, here are some of the features and benefits you can expect when you introduce IBM CloudBurst in your enterprise with the dynamic infrastructure of IBM Service Management.

Last week, IBM announced an enhancement to our cloud portfolio that will deliver CloudBurst on POWER7-based hardware, as well as offering it as software that can run on currently installed IBM and non-IBM systems.
With CloudBurst, IBM is tying together the hardware, storage, networking, virtualization, and service management as an all-in-one package for enterprises to build a private cloud. This is significant because it removes the arduous manual processes that in-house IT departments often face when configuring and managing their cloud systems.
In the press release, IBM states that it estimates CloudBurst's automated configuring capabilities "can cut IT staff's labor in integrating systems, provisioning and managing storage up to 95 percent." That seems pretty impressive, when you consider that if I could cut 95% off of my work week, I'd be logged on for a total of two and a half hours.
At the heart of this new offering is the IBM Service Delivery Manager, a stand-alone integrated service management software bundle which automates the deployment, monitoring and management of a cloud solution on IBM or non-IBM hardware.
If you'd like to delve into the details behind these solutions, and understand how to decrease your costs and increase your efficiency with CloudBurst, you can contact your IBM sales rep and/or

Orlando Is The Happiest Place On Earth: IBM Edge And IBM Innovate
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  cloud devops service-management innovate apm jazz storage edge 1 Comment 6,513 Visits
Over 51 million tourists travel to Orlando, Florida every year, but only the cool ones go to attend IBM Edge and IBM Innovate.
As I type this, so many of our customers, partners and my colleagues are in the "brutal" 88°F* weather learning more about storage and software & system innovation.
IBM Storage
Since much of my focus is around product announcements, I wanted to point folks to the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center V5.1 announcement that happened yesterday (Announcement Letter 212-189).
For content coming from the conference, a number of the marketing team are on the ground at Edge and tweeting. Be sure to follow Maria, Martha and Branavan (and of course, @ibmstorage) as well as the hashtag #ibmedge.
IBM Innovate
The Rational team have a number of exciting new announcements around Jazz and they will be talking quite a bit about mobile, cloud, industry solutions and a few other things including DevOps.
For us service management folks, DevOps translates into tangible benefits we can bring back to the business; like fewer errors and faster time to resolving errors if they do occur.
Back at Pulse 2012, we announced, among other things, the Beta for IBM SmartCloud Continuous Delivery (see the blog post and press release).
Of course, at Innovate there's a lot more to talk about with DevOps. Including the announcement from last week of IBM SmartCloud Application Performance Management 7.5 (Announcement Letter 212-143).
Along with IBM SmartCloud Control Desk and IBM SmartCloud Provisioning Manager (among others), it's about developers and testers having access to the same tools, data and information that operations uses and leveraging them to fix problems before they occur. And if problems do occur, the linkages with tools like Rational Application Developer and Rational Performance Tester allow the developers and testers to quickly resolve these issues as everyone and everything is connected.
As stated before, fewer errors and faster time to resolving errors if they do occur. This translates into using time to be productive and being innovative. Innovation is what provides value back to the business.
There's a good press release from yesterday, "IBM Expands Collaborative Software Development Solutions to Cloud, Mobile Technologies" that highlights some of the integrations and new solutions (including Application Performance Management).
The conference is being livestreamed (with video available right on the IBM Innovate home page) and be sure to follow the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #ibminnovate and be sure to read the Invisible Thread blog for updates on what's happening on the floor.
IBM Announces Platinum Sponsorship of the New OpenStack Foundation
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  cloud openstack smartcloud open-standards 2 Comments 14,529 Visits
Our General Manager, Dr. Danny Sabbah, framed cloud computing perfectly in his keynote address at Pulse 2012.
When you think of the levels of innovation you are required to give to the business, cloud is the right technology to do it.
Since the Cloud lives on the Internet, which is built upon the "bricks" of open standards, it should not surprise you that there is a drive to an ubiquitous Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.
In October 2011, my neighbors to the South at Rackspace founded the OpenStack Foundation.
Today, IBM is announcing that we will be joining the OpenStack Foundation as Platinum-level sponsors along with AT&T, Canonical, HP, Nebula, Rackspace, Red Hat and SUSE.
The OpenStack Foundation has a great blog post that covers what's happening today and what the next steps will be.
The official press release is on MarketWatch and I'd also suggest reading IBM Vice President of Software Standards Angel Diaz's two very cool posts A Smarter Planet blog and Wired's Cloudline.
This is the start of a very exciting future for cloud computing and of course there will be more news coming from the OpenStack Foundation in the weeks to come at events like the OpenStack Design Summit & Conference in San Francisco on April 16-20 and IBM Impact in Las Vegas on April 29 - May 4.
OpenStack is on Twitter at @OpenStack and of course follow @IBMCloud and #ibmcloud for what's going on here.
To close out this post, I thought I'd embed the keynote mentioned above. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it since nobody explains the importance of cloud better than Danny.

Pulse 2011: Tuesday Wrap Up
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  cloud pulse2011 smarter-buildings pulse smarter-rail rtal ibmpulse 1 Comment 3,996 Visits
Today was a long, but fulfilling, day.
A bit different from yesterday, I spent the morning helping our customers register for industry round tables and then followed that up with showing customers the new Integrated Service Management Simulator Game in the Expo Center.
Tuesday, as you know, is when IBM makes product announcements and this Tuesday was no different.
Jamie Thomas talked about a number of announcements (including the ones below) in her portion of the general session (which can be found on the Livestream)
I would call your attention to the following two Announcement Letters that were released today:
This information is covered in the press release, "IBM Advances Cloud Computing with New Software" (which includes information on the beta for the advanced virtual deployment software.
The adoption of cloud and virtualization technologies by the market is increasing.
For these technologies to be meaningful to our customers, it is on us to ensure that we can provide the levels of Visibility, Control and Automation (TM) they require to match their Integrated Service Management best practice. (and that's just what we're doing)
Press Release Round Up
The press team put out some great articles that I'd also like to call your attention to:
Some great coverage of the successful client relationships we've built with our industry solutions. They are worth a read (especially the Cities one).
I'd also point you to the excellent blog post Christina wrote about Intelligent Metering Network Management
Speaking of Coverage
As a sequel to yesterday's general session visual note-taking adventure, I present to you my notes from day 2 (Flickr link:
What's Next For Noah?
Tomorrow, I'll be talking to Scott Laningham on the Livestream at 12:40pm PST about Integrated Service Management and then closing out the conference and staffing the Simulator Game in the Expo Center.
If you want, stop by and say hello. I'll show you the demo and can also talk to you about anything Integrated Service Management -related.
Or Simpsons trivia. I can do my pitch as Professor Frink if you like.
Either way :-P

No Cloud Pun, Just A Great CSP Cloud Solution
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  cloud csp2 cloud-computing csp 2,542 Visits
I spent the last few minutes trying to think of a clever title that had some sort of cloud pun in it...then realized that it's like booking an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
You don't need it. Cut to the headliner and go for it. So here goes:
If you are a communications service provider (CSP), you are going to want to check out the latest solution to come out of our Cloud Computing group.
IBM Enables Communications Service Providers To Capture New Cloud Services Market Opportunity (press release) talks about the new solution that helps our customers address public cloud services.
What I love about this solution, and I'm going to quote from the press release, "...quickly and cost-effectively enable hundreds or even thousands of new services and use an integrated cloud service management platform to create, deliver and manage those services."
This is another real-world (purchasable) example of the type of game-changing solutions that could not be solved without a comprehensive service management strategy like the one IBM has with Integrated Service Management.
There's more information about this particular release for the CSP solution on the press release and customers from all industries can visit the Cloud Computing website for more information on all of our cloud computing solutions.
If you want to sit down with someone to discuss this or other solutions, you can contact your IBM sales rep and/or Business Partner (Business Partner Locator Site) and have them sit down with you now to discuss Integrated Service Management and be sure to ask them about conducting a whiteboarding session.

In the interview, Judith talks about how customers are looking at both internal and external clouds as a way to optimize their use of IT technology from a real business perspective.
One of the initial areas customers are looking at implementing Cloud is test and development. Rather than investing in new servers and tools, it makes economic sense to use a Cloud infrastructure for pilots. Plus when you give developers temporary resources, you often don't get them back!

Q: What does IBM Watson know about Incident Management?
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  collaborative-lifecycle-m... linked-data oslc-series oslc tivoli watson cloud service-management jazz 5,482 Visits
A: Linked Data
The following article was written by Cameron Allen, Pierre Coyne and Beth Sarnie and is the second in our OSLC series.
In fact, if you were at Pulse 2012...you heard how IBM Watson will be used to help doctors diagnose medical conditions and improve patient care at WellPoint.
For those of you, like myself, that don't have a Watson-like recollection, here's a quick flashback detailing a millisecond in Watson's brain on a sample patient:
If you're in the business of IT, this may sound a lot like incident management. And as any level 1 support person can attest, diagnosing the root cause of an incident is much like diagnosing a patient's condition. You need information from multiple sources (e.g. service desk, license, CMDB, monitoring, and asset management systems), but more importantly, it has to be in context, up to date, and delivered in a timely basis to make an accurate diagnosis of the root cause.
The problem has always been that an incident manager, like a doctor, has to jump between tools, entering requests in each system for the right information...and that is time consuming. In some cases, information isn't readily available and must be requested from other sources, not under their direct control.
One of the ways Watson is able to be such a great diagnostician (and incident manager) is through "linked data," which allows it to seek out and find related information on the patient from multiple sources in a fraction of a second to facilitate faster, more accurate patient diagnosis.
Until now, an incident manager did not have this same luxury.
That's where Jazz for Service Management comes in. Jazz is IBM's realtime platform for integrating management across multivendor tools, and across service lifecycle processes and functions. Like Watson, Jazz for service management uses principles of linked data, along with community standards (including OSLC) to support Watson-like service management decisions, regardless of what vendor tools you have in place.
If you want to learn more about OSLC and linked data in the context of service management, join the IBM developerWorks Jazz for Service Management community for demonstrations, and to gain early access to beta software.
IBM InterConnect And SmartCloud Foundation
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  interconnect storage cloud service-management smartcloud 4,319 Visits
As the Western Hemisphere was slumbering, news from Singapore was lighting up Twitter as our senior executives took the stage at the IBM InterConnect conference to talk about some of the latest announcements from the IBM corporation on innovation and a Smarter Planet.
Much of the reporting has been done on Twitter (hashtag #IBMInterConnect) and these keynotes are available on the LiveStream including an amazing speech by Dr. Michio Kaku about the future of computers ("everywhere and nowhere").*
These are supplemented by interviews conducted by Todd "Turbo Todd" Watson, also on the LiveStream.
Since this event was focused on a Smarter Planet (the entire IBM portfolio), we covered a lot of ground. Big Data. Social. Mobility. And, of course, cloud.
For SmartCloud Foundation, the Tivoli organization has a number of exciting solutions that are designed to help you increase the levels of innovation you provide to your clients.
For this blog, I thought it'd be good to focus on three of the new solutions you might not have seen before that are going to help you in building out your private cloud.
IBM SmartCloud Cost Management is one of the key components in transforming IT from a "cost center" to an innovation center by providing levels of visibility, and transparency, to the IT costs associated with your cloud. Measure, analyze, report, and invoice the utilization and costs of physical, virtualized, and cloud computing resources, storage and network resources, applications, and other non-IT cost drivers.
IBM SmartCloud Patch Management combines the benefits of two solutions, IBM Endpoint Manager for Patch Management and IBM SmartCloud Provisioning, to provide an effective entry point that delivers lower costs and improves the visibility and control of physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Finally, the IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is a solution that you might have seen us talk about at Pulse 2012 and it's now an exciting addition to the portfolio. This solution helps IT storage managers migrate to an agile cloud-based storage environment and manage it effectively without having to replace existing storage systems. If you're looking to increase your storage efficiency in cloud, but don't have the checkbook to do a "rip and replace" of your entire infrastructure, you need to be looking at this solution.
There's more going on in Singapore over the next two days, and more discussion of SmartCloud Foundation and IBM Smarter Planet. Stay tuned to Twitter and the LiveStream and feel free to post comments below.
* I have to confess that this blog was delayed because I got sucked into watching the keynotes.
You Can't Spell 'Service Management' Without 'OSLC'
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  oslc-series oslc linked-data service-management jazz cloud tivoli collaborative-lifecycle-m... 5,562 Visits
The following article was written by Cameron Allen, Pierre Coyne and Beth Sarnie and is the second in our OSLC series.
In non-acronym speak, what I'm saying is that the future of service management has arrived in the form of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration.
Or, "OSLC."
But, what is OSLC and what does it have to do with you?
If you are a user of service management tools of any kind, or rely on information from tools to do your job, then you probably know that finding the right information is half the battle, and getting realtime access to that information when it is not under your direct control can feel next to impossible.
OSLC means you can now leverage the simplicity and ease of web links to both find and share information across your management tools (be they IBM, or any vendor tools).
Just as web pages can be linked on the Internet, data can be linked together from one application to another – creating an application ecosystem where applications don't care what vendor they're from. They look up who has the data in a directory, and jump right to it.
OSLC is not something new, and Tivoli is not the first to adopt it for integration. If you're an IBM Rational user, you may already be a believer. IBM Rational, its users, and an extensive ecosystem of partners have been using OSLC to successfully interconnect the application lifecycle for years.
In fact, Rational Jazz is the realization of OSLC community specifications and shared services in an open platform that anyone can use to interconnect the application lifecycle. Rational just delivered their 4th incarnation of the integrated product offering called Collaborative Lifecycle Management based on Jazz.
Tivoli is now leveraging these same principles to help break down silos of information across the end-to-end service lifecycle. That means expanding the notions behind Jazz from service design and development to now include service delivery and management. We call this Jazz for Service Management.
Take for example, problem management. In order to diagnose and resolve a given trouble ticket, the problem information must be gathered and aggregated from multiple sources. We may need information pertaining to the application topology, the health of a system within that topology, outages or events that may be affecting the application, the CPU utilization, the versions and configurations of the hardware and software that this application is dependent upon. I could go on...
The problem is that all of this information lives in different places. You can either call around to the various owners of that information, or you pay a business partner to learn the API of the tool in order to get to the data, or you can have a highly skilled, in-house resource write the integration. These options require extensive expertise in vendor-specific APIs and lots of maintenance to keep them current.
OSLC utilizes community defined specifications for sharing and linking data applied to specific service management scenarios so that in a critical outage scenario, all relevant information relating to that outage can be accessed in real time from any number of sources, displayed in the context of that problem, in a single integrated view, with related actions that can be taken.
The difference is simplicity. You might be able to do this this now with a lot of experts and time but OSLC delivers simplicity.
And, most importantly, because OSLC uses community specifications for service management scenarios, integrations can be built once and applied across multiple 'related' OSLC-enabled tools. "Write-once, Apply-many."
For more information, listen to this podcast on the Tivoli User Community. This podcast provides a deeper insight into the next generation of service management built using linked data.
Also, at Pulse 2012 (video link), developerWorks' Scott Laningham is joined by Don Cronin, program director, Tivoli Technical Strategy and Architecture; and Mike Kaczmarski, IBM Fellow and Tivoli Chief Integration Architect to discuss the Magic of linked data.

Why Is IT Agility Still So Darn Elusive?
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  linked-data cloud tivoli service-management oslc-series oslc 4,666 Visits
The following article was written with significant contributions from Cameron Allen, Pierre Coyne and Beth Sarnie
Question of the day: why is IT agility so darn elusive?
Give up?
Follow up question: after spending multiple millions in technology to improve service delivery, quality, and productivity, why do so many line of business executives perceive that IT is still not moving "fast enough?"
Silo'd information presents a big speedbump to agility. According to the 2012 IBM study of CEOs, high performing organizations are able to access data 108% more, draw insights from that data 110% more, and act on that data 86% more, than their underperforming peers.
Which brings us back to the specific problem: Information exists, but it is not shared. Information remains trapped in silo'd tools and departmental applications. It's not only not moving "fast enough," it's not moving at all.
If you agree with ITIL and related methodologies, agility is directly linked to your IT processes. So while we can improve process methodology and connections across roles and functions, and within specific technology siloes with tools, if the data and resources can not be freely shared across process-enabling tools, then its all for not.
Going one level deeper, what is the cause of this 'information black hole', where data enters tools, and is never seen again? Your reality is that you probably rely on a mix of multi-vendor tools. Those vendor tools rely on proprietary APIs for integration and trying to make tools with different APIs communicate requires the IT equivalent of a team of United Nations translators, where each is an expert in their applications main language (API). Once successful, the herculean effort can create a constant maintenance cost, and might not work well in the end - things will be lost in translation. That said, even single vendor tool suites are notoriously difficult to integrate.
So what can be done?
Stop for a moment and consider the best example that demonstrates simplicity of integration on a massive scale. It's the Internet. With the Internet, you can get information from millions of different web sites and all you need is a browser.
So for argument's sake, if tools are the equivalent of web sites, then all we need are links to connect two tools. We can take that one step further, borrowing principles from social networks like LinkedIn or IBM Connections, where we can search for one person, and see relationships to other people (making searching for data across tools much easier).
That in essence is OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration): A set of open, community agreed upon specifications for linking tools using web technology. (And before you ask, no. It's not a standard, because apparently standards alone have not done the job)
Data from any vendor tool is registered in a directory like a search engine, where other tools can find it, its relationship to other data, and access it via simple web link technology. Not similar to the Internet, but exactly like the Internet.
What that means is you can easily interconnect tools and processes. You can even replace tools with competitive tools - eliminating vendor lock in. It also means you can re-purpose one integration across a series of 'like' tools. "Write once, reuse-many" inherently applies here. All of this translates into simpler and faster access to information by people and tools, better analytics leading to better decisions, and better automation of workflow.
Now, IT will be seen as agile.
No longer elusive.

Implementing mandatory high-vis gear for cyclists as suggested by Wellington coroner Ian Smith will have a chilling impact on international cycle tourists visiting NZ, the Green Party said today.
The suggestion to make high-vis compulsory was yesterday rubbished by cycle tourism blogger Russell Roca on twitter yesterday. 'Dear NZ, a sure way to end all bike TOURISM is with mandatory hi-vis for cyclists.'
"International cycle tourists will not come to New Zealand to use our cycle trails if they are forced to wear high-vis," said Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter.
"Cycling is a healthy activity. Forcing people to wear fluorescent high-vis clothing sends the wrong message and will scare away valuable cycle tourism dollars.
"High-vis doesn't prevent fatalities, in the incident cited the person was wearing reflective strips and was using bike lights.
"Cities around the world which have high rates of cycling and safe cycling environments don't force people to wear high-vis.
"The best way to achieve a safe environment for people to cycle in is to normalise cycling as a mode of transport.
"We need to invest more in cycling infrastructure and better education for all road users about how to share the road.
"The National Government is spending over 100 times more on state highways than they are on walking and cycling. A small increase in investment in safer cycling infrastructure would result in a better outcome for all road users.
"Making it compulsory to use unsafe cycle lanes, like the one in Dunedin in which a cyclist was killed last year, is a recipe for disaster.

In Sunday's Lincoln Journal-Star
"In facing mobile QBs in their last five games, the Husker defense has allowed those QBs 1,795 total yards.
McGee (A&M) - 167 rushing, 267 total yards, no turnovers
Robinson(Okie St) - 267 total yards, 2 TDs, no turnovers
Daniel (Missery) 401 passing, 473 total, no turnovers
Brett Meyer - 281 passing, 309 total, 3 turnovers
Davis (Ball St) - 422 passing, 479 total, 1 turnover
I do like where our offense is going. If it wasn't for all the turnovers hard telling what kind of year we would have had.
Its stats like that and games like the oklahoma game that make me wonder if we'll ever see what exactly Brett Meyer is made of.
I think we've already seen what Bret Meyer is made of. He's reached his plateau. Still a decent QB, but not amazing like we all thought he could be.

And it doesn't matter, cause he can't bring us the only stat that matters.

And it's more a product of his starting every game for about 3 1/2 years than it is about being a really good QB.
Instead of bagging on Bret for underachieving, I am really starting to realize how lucky we were that he was greatly overachieving at an early age.

2012 mirrorless sales in Japan
Here is BCN's summary of mirrorless unit camera sales for the first 10 months of 2012. As of Oct 22 (the right hand side of the graph), market shares were: Olympus 28.6% (green), Sony 23.5% (blue), Panasonic 17.3% (brown), Nikon 12.8% (yellow), Canon 9.2% (red) and Pentax 8.6%. Since mid-year, Sony increased market share by approximately 10 percentage points, while Panasonic's share fell by approximately 15 percentage points. http://bcnranking.jp/news/1210/121029_24049.html
Mirrorless sales exceeded DSLR sales in for the first time in January, but their market share leveled off this year and is currently just below half of ILC unit sales.

It was easy to set it up in place of my old pump, I used a flexible steel braided hot water tank hose from Home Dee poe. It had 3/4 NPT on both ends and about 16" long for $10.00. So far holding up well under pressure and heat. The only thing is I am hearing a tapping sound when it runs that is there most of the time, but seems to stop for a few revs then start up again. I did not get the 2 yr warranty, but am definitely going back to get it this weekend. This is just in case the tapping turns into a knocking or worse. Overall I am happy with it for the money. I also wanted to add I used the old 1.5 HP motor originally on my compressor and it seems to turn it no problem. This is an A.O. Smith 1.5hp motor and may be under rated or maybe the pump does not really need 3hp to turn???

packaging could be improved
By Bill
from Garibaldi, Oregon
Mated this unit with a 5 HP motor and it works nicely. Changed oil after 1 hour as recommended although the oil looked clear and clean. Unit arrived with a few broken cooling fins on the head and the output manifold had been leveraged into the head creating a low point and subsequently a large air leak. After machining the head flat again everything worked as expected. All in all a nice unit but better packaging job would have been appreciated.
Good product - Terrible packaging - Good customer Service
By Ruhnar
from Leavenworth, WA
Compressor works great for air supply on our baler.Poorly packaged; no padding, rolls around in box and self destructs on its way here.It weighs about 47 lbs and comes LOOSE in a box. We have received 3 and they were all damaged. We repaired one and sent 2 back. The 4th one is on it's way now with a promise to package better.Customer service was quick to ship another but they do the same thing over and over and expect different results.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's a happy day for clients and staff displaced from a group home fire in Missoula last September.
The Tulip Lane home for developmentally disabled adults burned on Labor Day. The cause of the fire was a cigarette butt that an employee had left burning, thinking it was out.
No one was injured but it cost the insurance company $500,000 in damage.
On Monday afternoon, residents went back to a newly renovated house.
Jackie has been looking forward to this day for almost 8 months. She's home, really home.
"I like it," she said.
The Tulip Lane house in the Rattlesnake, looks a lot different than it did last Labor Day. Fire raced up an outside fence, eating up a great deal of the house, and staining the rest with smoke and soot. Now everything looks brand new.
"It's just beautiful inside," said Missoula Developmental Service Corporation human resources director Karen Harrison.
Movers hauled every treasured possession in carefully.
Most clients have been living in an alternative group home on the other side of town since the fire. Staff said that house was nice, but it was more crowded, and less convenient.
"It's the transition of losing their home," said MDSC's director of services, Vasa Parsons, "and trying to cope with the changes in their environment."
Since the fire, MDSC instituted a policy change. Nobody can smoke on breaks anymore. In fact, nobody can smoke at all.
"You are taking everybody's lives in your hands," said Harrison, "and it's a huge responsibility for everyone, and I think maybe that hit home for us. I hope it just makes us a better team."

May 25, 2016
Gainesville, FL - Jeff Driskel threw four touchdown passes -- three of them after turnovers -- and No. 3 Florida matched its win total from last season with a 44-11 drubbing of ninth-ranked South Carolina on Saturday.
The Gators avenged consecutive losses to the Gamecocks, including one two years ago that ended with Steve Spurrier and his players celebrating a division title in The Swamp.
Florida's latest whatever-it-takes win kept coach Will Muschamp's team undefeated and put it on the cusp of the Southeasten Conference's Eastern Division title. The Gators (7-0, 6-0 SEC) can clinch a spot in the SEC championship game by beating No. 13 Georgia next week in nearby Jacksonville.
Florida won this one with turnovers, stellar defense and more halftime adjustments -- the kind of successful tweaks that are making Muschamp and his staff seem like the right fit in Gainesville.
South Carolina (6-2, 4-2) lost its second straight.

Hi, friends!! I've missed you. For those few people who emailed me, thanks for checking on me. It's nice to know that someone reads :). May was such a busy month: Mother's Day, birthdays, the wrap up of a wonderful school year, a weekend roadtrip and time spent with family. I'm looking forward to regularly posting again though.
Before I share my random finds with you, can we just talk about cardigans for a moment? I could dedicate a whole post just to cardigans. I love them. They are a staple in my closet and I wear them year around. They are a classic in my opinion and look good with everything from jeans to a little black dress. I have a friend who always tells me, "Elizabeth, you don't have to always wear a cardigan." My argument is that J.Crew named theirs the Jackie for a reason.
Moving on……..

About This FirmCall The Right Lawyer. TM.
At The Spitz Law Firm, our attorneys focus on employment, business, professional malpractice, internet litigation and other civil litigation disputes. Recently, managing attorney, Brian Spitz has been recognized for the quality of work and the type of service that The Spitz Law Firm provides our civil litigation clients. Newsweek Magazine recognized Spitz as one of the Top 20 Leaders in Employment Law in the United States for 2012. The National Trial Lawyers Association selected Spitz to its list of Top 100 Trial Lawyers. Spitz is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a select group of few attorneys that have claimed victory at trial in an amount over one million dollars. But, the most important recognition of our legal work is that our law firm has grown based on the strength of referrals from clients, judges, and other attorneys that have seen our lawyers' work and want us to represent them and their family members. Our attorneys fight just as hard for secretaries, machinists, nurses, restaurant servers, contractors, and children. We will fight for you.
Unlike other attorneys or law firms who mislead you to get contracts signed, we provide an honest evaluation of your legal situation. Our attorneys will be honest with you. Our FREE and CONFIDENTIAL initial consultation is truly free. You will meet with an actual attorney, not a secretary or paralegal. The Spitz Law Firm also offers a variety of ways to better manage litigation costs, including lower rates for the same (or better) work quality than larger firms; flat fee agreements; and contingency fee agreements that mean that the client need not pay any fee for legal services unless the attorneys recover money and/or results. Because many people cannot able to afford the costs of litigation up front, we take more cases on a contingency fee basis than most firms.
The most important thing that is said about The Spitz Law Firm and its attorneys is this: our clients trust us, like our good results, and continue to refer their friends and family to us.

The Divorce Act is a federal law made by the Parliament of Canada, administered equally across all provinces and territories. Only the superior court of each province has jurisdiction to deal with a Petition for Divorce.
Sewn out of their parents' clothes, a "mapapu" stuffed animal can help children cope with their parents' separation or divorce through the familiar smell and feel of the fabric.
Going through a divorce is similar to the experience of a family death. Tragedy, sadness, bitterness, and anger ensues in different stages. The stakes are the highest when children are involved. Children are more precious and valuable than any material asset or stack of cash that could ever be fought over – but it's easy to forget what is in a child's best interest when parents focus on being self-righteous and getting what they feel is owed to them.
The Divorce School has just released another 11 new videos and podcasts for separated and divorced people who are seeking tips and information to help them deal with their divorce-related issues. Sessions are only available until June 30, so sign up today!
It's not recommended, but, if you do, you should know the rules that control what they can do for you.
There's a fine line that most people must navigate when they find themselves in the unfortunate position of going through a divorce. On one hand, there's no doubt that you should always protect yourself during the proceedings, even if events appear to be unfolding amicably. On the other side of the coin, being too aggressive can ignite a lengthy legal battle between you and your spouse, leading to a worse outcome for both parties.
Regardless of your family situation, when you're in the middle of finalizing divorce procedures, you may feel the urge to start seeing someone else in order to move on with your life. Despite the fact that this is a completely understandable and normal way of moving on from a difficult relationship, problems may arise if things have yet to be completed.
According to a 2014 survey in the U.S., the likelihood of you getting a divorce could depend on your employment status, education, and ethnicity.
While nobody plans for a marriage to fail, a prenuptial agreement is a good option for individuals who are looking to protect their assets in the event of a divorce. Here's what some people had to say about marriage and prenups, including arguments for and against having a prenup signed before walking down the aisle.
Here's a preview of the nine new podcasts and videos that have just been released at The Divorce School.

As a volunteer firefighter with Fire District 6 for the past three years, Lanny Kipp has responded to one small fire. So he said Wednesday's training, his second live-burn training exercise, was very beneficial.
"We've done this training in mock situations," Kipp said, glancing up as smoke billowed out of the top of a two-story Salmon Creek house. "But this helps you tie all the aspects that you've already learned together. It makes it all real."
Volunteers and career firefighters from the agency practiced their fire attack and ventilation techniques by conducting a controlled burn, taking turns setting fire to the house, then putting out the flames out.
The residence was one of two houses in the 900 block of Northeast 149th Street that are owned by Clark County Public Works. The structures will be demolished as part of the 10th Avenue improvement project, which will widen the road to include bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The project also includes building facilities to collect and treat stormwater. Crews will set fire to the second house during another training on April 9.
Law enforcement made use of the houses, as well. The regional SWAT team conducted tactical training in one of the houses earlier this month.
Kipp said that the biggest difference between mock training and live-burn training is the pace.
While on top of the house, ventilating the fire pressure from the roof, a firefighter said over the radio that the fire had started breaking out on another area of the roof. The new flames had the potential to trap the crew had it gone unnoticed.
"You have to be aware of your surroundings," he said. "That's why you have guys on each corner, in case something looks out of place."
Washington law requires fire departments to do live-burn training once every three years, but Clark County fire crews do them more frequently.
Because 90 percent of fire calls are medical in nature, fire trainings like these are important, said Capt. Ryan Reese.
"This is more like the high-risk calls that we don't respond to all the time," Reese said. "It's an educational burn. We're looking at fire behavior, different kinds of smoke, different types of ventilation. It's a great opportunity to share our knowledge."
With 14 years experience, Reese said that the trainings also keep him fresh by reminding him of the various tactics used to thwart the flames.
Also, he said, "There are new tactics being shared all over the nation. We'll try them and find out what works and what doesn't."

"Dear Damon,
Hi – i am a 41 year old self employed woman who has accumulated credit card debt up to $35k over the past 6 years. I am a homeowner with 15 years left on my mortgage – and i moved out of the home and rented it out, so i could rent something cheaper to help my the credit cards.
I am basically making ends meet and my business income has not increased, in fact this year it actually decreased so i now I am facing not being able to pay minimum pmts for the first time in my life. I have 700+ credit.
I have had to move twice in 2 years, due to the rental housing being unsafe at the prices I could afford, My housing costs have increased this year, so i have decreased my other costs as much as possible. I am now unable to cover minimum pmts as of this month. one credit card with citicards is $25k and going over the limit when they charge my next interest pmt on May 10.
I have been sick over my financial situation for the past 2 years as it seems to get worse and worse. Now my roommate is moving out, and my landlord wont let me get a new one, so thats $600 a month less I will have in income per month. I cannot describe the panic Ive been experiencing and I really dont know what to do. I would like to settle my credit cards, at least my large one. But I dont know if that is possible. Also i would have to liquidate my retirement to do so.
Do you have any advice? I do not talk to my friends about this because I am so embarrassed, and also because they are not that great with money either. Please let me know if you can lead me toward a solution.
Increasing my income is the only solution I can come up with but my own business does not yield enough and the jobs that are willing to hire me right now do not pay more that $45k, not enough to make my $1000 a month credit card payments. please help!
Hello Beth,
Looking at the information you are giving me, the first thing that comes to mind is that we need to at least look into the option of filing for bankruptcy. You mentioned you would like to settle your debts, but if you can potentially qualify for a chapter 7 while keeping your home, it likely won't make sense to wipe out a retirement savings that would probably be protected in bankruptcy.
One thing is clear and that is you cannot continue to afford these payments, especially now that your housing cost will be increasing an additional 600 and you were barely making ends meet prior to that. So something has to give and it is going to be the 1,000 dollar a month credit card payments. The question then becomes, are you going to attempt to settle or file bankruptcy. To answer that question, you should first meet with a local bankruptcy attorney and find out specifically what bankruptcy would look like for you. Based on that information you can determine if raiding the retirement account to try to settle the debts is a more attractive option.
Please contact a local BK attorney and let me know what you find out.

Celebrity Apprentice: "It Hurts Me to Say This, but Marilu, You're Fired!"
February 21, 2008 09:39 PM by Jennifer_Brown
Omarosa is positively bubbling over with excitement to be on the other side of the board room doors for a change, as we wrap up the elimination-that-never-was from last week. She reckons The Donald must "really, really" like her, since he sent her to the other team and away from Piers. Piers' take on the move: "Replacing Omarosa with Marilu is like replacing the devil with Nelson Mandela."
Everyone is giddy that The Donald had chosen to fire no one, and Piers celebrates by calling his friend at the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Piers has a brother who has just returned from war and so feels a personal connection with this particular charity. He tells his thrilled friend that he has $65,000 to donate, and then promises, "I'm going to try to win this thing and get you a load more."
But it's on with the game now, and The Donald (awesome baby blue tie) gathers the teams on a helipad to announce that he'll be flying them to Pennsylvania, to the QVC headquarters, for their next challenge. Each team will have to choose a project, then write, produce, and direct a 10-minute live sales pitch for the product. The team who generates the most sales wins.
Team Empresario chooses Stephen to be the project manager for this task. They will be selling a sweeper and choose down-to-earth Trace to do the selling, alongside a QVC host. Omarosa pushes Stephen to script Trace's pitch, but Stephen thinks it unnecessary, given that basically Trace could read the phone book and people would scramble to buy it (or at least I would — LOVE that guy's voice!). Stephen also makes sure the team meets with a creative director, who tells them about QVC's Easy Pay plan, allowing purchasers the opportunity to spread out the cost of the item over several weeks.
Over at Team Hydra, Marilu, who has worked for QVC before, seems a natural project manager for this task. The team chooses to sell a ladder and uses Marilu as their spokeswoman, alongside a QVC host. This team is carefully scripted and ready to hit the ground running (teammate Carol once worked for QVC for five years and so knows the ropes), seemingly with this task in the bag.
Donnie Jr. (yellow tie) drops in on the teams. He likes Empresario's choice in spokesman, but thinks the team isn't anywhere near as organized as Hydra. Yet…Marilu talks an awful lot, he thinks. Maybe…too much…?
The teams hit the set. Hydra puts Lennox in the booth, Piers in the control room, and Carol on the set directing. Marilu gives an exhaustingly energetic performance. The Donald (yellow tie that might or might not be the same yellow tie on Donnie Jr. earlier…which has me wondering if Donnie Jr. is wandering the corridors tieless right now…) and Ivanka watch from Trump Tower, commenting that Marilu has "great enthusiasm," but…er…talks…too much.
When Hydra hits the set, Trace is nervous. Omarosa is on the set with him, while Tito runs the control room and Stephen mans the booth. Trace's sales pitch is just like Trace — calm, engaging, endearing (I just want to put on something flannel and go chop wood with the guy). "He's got a nice way about him," The Donald comments, adding that Trace's laid-back stylecomes across as confidence.
After the challenge, the teams head to the board room, where The Donald (still in yellow tie, but now Donnie Jr. is in a hot pink tie, which furthers mysuspicion that the yellow tie really was thesame one Donnie Jr. was wearing earlier and makes me wonderwhat sort of tie crisis happened to make one have to borrow the other's tie…)starts asking questions. Piers is all about Marilu's energy, while Stephen is all about how nice it was working with Omarosa. Donnie Jr. and Ivanka read off the numbers; Team Empresario wins the challenge. Celebrating, they head back to the war room to watch the board room festivities while sipping champagne.
Alone in the board room, Piers (who is surprisingly subdued tonight) refuses to blame Marilu for Hydra's loss, citing that he loves a leader with passion. Piers makes a mistake by calling Lennox "Sleepy Boy," which The Donald takes offense to, thinking the name-calling is insulting. Piers insists that he meant no insult by it — Lennox just didn't participate much in the task because he was asleep through much of it. Piers also calls into question Carol's assertion that she's never heard of Easy Pay, even though she worked for QVC for 5 years, but Marilu's got Carol's back and lets her go from the board room, bringing back Piers and Lennox.
The Donald tells Marilu that he thinks she overdid her energy, and when she frantically tries to talk her way out of the spotlight he interrupts, "Stop talking so much! I think that's why you lost — you talk too much!"
For a brief moment, The Donald does take theheat off of Marilu to point out that Piers is sweating. "I don't want to be fired," Piers explains.
But Piers isn't in the hot seat forlong before The Donald turns his sights back on Marilu.
"It hurts me to say this, but Marilu,you're fired…now get the hell outa here," he says.
AfterMarilu leaves, he turns to Ivanka and says, "She's a very high quality woman."
In the taxi on the way out, Marilusays, "Mr. Trump is very sweet," and says she feels like she's part of the Trump family. Shecalls her experience on the show "a blast" and is proud of herselffor playing with energy and passion (Amen, Marilu!)

Scams for E-Filing TaxesPosted on August 1, 2011 by Administrator
Scams are everywhere. In hard times, they seem to be especially prevalent, and scams don't exclude taxes. First of all, email is one of the easiest ways to fall for a scam. The IRS released a recent disclaimer to avoid unsolicited emails about electronic federal tax payments.
These scam emails include references to the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The most recent email claims that tax payments made through this system have been rejected.
Then, the email has a link for those that believe they have not paid yet. There is a falsified transaction report in the link. Once it has been clicked on, a virus will be downloaded onto your computer.
This particular malware sends personal and financial information from the taxpayer's computer. The information is then used for identity theft. For these reasons, the IRS and the Financial Management Service (the Treasury bureau that owns EFTPS) does not send direct notices through email. They recommend not opening any links or attachments included with an unknown email. Also, do not reply to the sender that pretends to be from the IRS or EFTPS.
According to the IRS website, "EFTPS is a tax payment system that allows individuals and businesses to pay federal taxes electronically via the Internet or phone. It is committed to taxpayer privacy and uses industry-leading security practices and technology to protect taxpayer data."
Identity theft is a huge problem, but there are ways to combat it. There is an IRS strategy for fixing identity theft here. A key term to remember about scams is phishing. Phishing is anything that tricks a person into disclosing personal and financial information for identity through email.
Many people are afraid to use online e-file because of fear of loss of personal information. This is a legitimate consideration, but only if you go to websites that aren't secure and open emails from unknown sources. TaxSlayer knows the ins and outs of security when it comes to taxes. The system is updated constantly to ensure the safest e-filing of taxes in the industry. As long as you stick with the recommended sites for personal tax preparation, you'll be good to go.

I am adding several hundred calendar appointments by importing an ics file. This is the easiest way I have found because the dates do not occur/recur in a predictable pattern. I made a script to build the ics file from some user input, and zimbra imports the events and adds them to the calendar perfectly. The issue I have is that no invitation email is sent out to any of the participants listed in the ics file. Is this expected behavior? Do I need to email the ics file to the participants after I add the events to the calendar?
Maybe there is a better way to add several hundred random appointments.
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

About Me:
I am a first year Master's student in Health Systems. I come with a BS in Biomedical Engineering also from Georgia Tech.
My previous employment prior to entering graduate school was working as the Instructional Laboratory Coordinator for the BME department. I worked side-by-side with Dr. Essy Behravesh (instructor for BMED 3110 and 3610 courses) to design and prepare lab modules for undergraduate students in relation to Systems Physiology.
