When love with unconfined wings
Hovers within my gates,
And my divine Althea brings
To whisper at the grates;
When I lie tangled in her hair,
And fettered to her eye,
The birds that wanton in the air
Know no such liberty.
When flowing cups run swiftly round
With no allaying Thames,
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames;
When thirsty grief in wine we steep,
When healths and draughts go free,
Fishes that tipple in the deep
Know no such liberty.
When, like committed linnets, I
With shriller throat shall sing
The sweetness, mercy, majesty,
And glories of my King;
When I shall voice aloud how good
He is, how great should be,
Enlarged winds that curl the flood
Know no such liberty.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.
O thou that swing'st upon the waving ear
Of some well-filled oaten beard,
Drunk ev'ry night with a delicious tear
Dropped thee from heav'n, where now th' art reared,
The joys of earth and air are thine entire,
That with thy feet and wings dost hop and fly;
And, when the poppy works, thou dost retire
To thy carved acorn-bed to lie.
Up with the day, the sun thou welcom'st then,
Sport'st in the gilt plats of his beams,
And all these merry days mak'st merry men,
Thyself, and melancholy streams.
But ah the sickle!—golden ears are cropped;
Ceres and Bacchus bid good-night;
Sharp frosty fingers all your flow'rs have topped,
And what schythes spared, winds shave off quite.
Poor verdant fool! and now green ice!—thy joys,
Large and as lasting as thy perch of grass,
Bid us lay in 'gainst winter rain, and poise
Their floods with an o'erflowing glass.
Thou best of men and friends! we will create
A genuine summer in each other's breast;
And spite of this cold time and frozen fate,
Thaw us a warm seat to our rest.
Our sacred hearths shall burn eternally
As vestal flames; the North-wind, he
Shall strike his frost-stretched wings, dissolve, and fly
This Etna in epitome.
Dropping December shall come weeping in,
Bewail th' usurping of his reign;
But when in show'rs of old Greek we begin,
Shall cry he hath his crown again!
Night as clear Hesper shall our tapers whip
From the light casements where we play,
And the dark hag from her black mantle strip,
And stick there everlasting day.
Thus richer than untempted kings are we,
That asking nothing, nothing need:
Though lord of all that seas embrace, yet he
That wants himself is poor indeed.
Our times are much degenerate from those
Which your sweet muse with your fair fortune chose,
And as complexions alter with the climes,
Our wits have drawn the infection of our times.
That candid age no other way could tell
To be ingenious, but by speaking well.
Who best could praise had then the greatest praise,
'Twas more esteemed to give than bear the bays:
Modest ambition studied only then
To honour not herself but worthy men.
These virtues now are banished out of town,
Our Civil Wars have lost the civic crown.
He highest builds, who with most art destroys,
And against others' fame his own employs.
I see the envious caterpillar sit
On the fair blossom of each growing wit.
The air's already tainted with the swarms
Of insects which against you rise in arms:
Word-peckers, paper-rats, book-scorpions,
Of wit corrupted, the unfashioned sons.
The barb?d censurers begin to look
Like the grim consistory on thy book;
And on each line cast a reforming eye,
Severer than the young presbytery.
Till when in vain they have thee all perused,
You shall, for being faultless, be accused.
Some reading your Lucasta will allege
You wronged in her the House's privelege.
Some that you under sequestration are,
And one the book prohibits, because Kent
Their first petition by the author sent.
But when the beauteous ladies came to know
That their dear Lovelace was endangered so:
Lovelace that thawed the most congeal?d breast --
He who loved best and them defended best,
Whose hand so rudely grasps the steely brand,
Whose hand most gently melts the lady's hand --
They all in mutiny though yet undressed
Sallied, and would in his defence contest.
And one, the loveliest that was yet e'er seen,
Thinking that I too of the rout had been,
Mine eyes invaded with a female spite,
(She knew what pain 'twould cause to lose that sight.)
`O no, mistake not,' I replied, `for I
In your defence, or in his cause, would die.'
But he, secure of glory and of time,
Above their envy, or mine aid, doth climb.
Him valiant'st men and fairest nymphs approve;
His book in them finds judgement, with you love.
Why should you swear I am forsworn,
Since thine I vowed to be?
Lady, it is already morn,
And 'twas last night I swore to thee
That fond impossibility.
Have I not loved thee much and long,
A tedious twelve hours' space?
I must all other beauties wrong,
And rob thee of a new embrace,
Could I still dote upon thy face.
Not but all joy in thy brown hair
By others may be found;—
But I must search the black and fair,
Like skilful mineralists that sound
For treasure in unploughed-up ground.
Then if, when I have loved my round,
Thou prov'st the pleasant she,
With spoils of meaner beauties crowned
I laden will return to thee,
Ev'n sated with variety.
Amarantha, sweet and fair,
Ah, braid no more that shining hair!
As my curious hand or eye
Hovering round thee, let it fly!
Let it fly as unconfined
As its calm ravisher the wind,
Who hath left his darling th' East,
To wanton o'er that spicy nest.
Every tress must be confessed
But neatly tangled at the best,
Like a clew of golden thread
Most excellently ravelled.
Do not then wind up that light
In ribbands, and o'ercloud in night,
Like the sun in 's early ray;
But shake your head and scatter day!
See, 'tis broke! Within this grove,
The bower and the walks of love,
Weary lie we down and rest,
And fan each other's panting breast.
Here we'll strip and cool our fire,
In cream below, in milk-baths higher,
And when all wells are drawn dry,
I'll drink a tear out of thine eye.
Which our very joys shall leave,
That sorrows thus we can deceive;
Or our very sorrows weep,
That joys so ripe, so little keep.
If to be absent were to be
Away from thee;
Or that when I am gone,
You or I were alone,—
Then, my Lucasta, might I crave
Pity from blust'ring wind or swallowing wave.
But I'll not sigh one blast or gale
To swell my sail,
Or pay a tear to 'suage
The foaming blue god's rage;
For whether he will let me pass
Or no, I'm still as happy as I was.
Though seas and land betwixt us both,
Our faith and troth,
Like separated souls,
All time and space controls:
Above the highest sphere we meet
Unseen, unknown, and greet as angels greet.
So then we do anticipate
Our after-fate,
And are alive i'th' skies,
If thus our lips and eyes
Can speak like spirits unconfined
In Heaven, their earthy bodies left behind.
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breasts, and quiet mind,
To war and arms I fly.
True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
Yet this inconstancy is such,
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not honour more.
Sweet serene sky-like flower,
Haste to adorn her bower;
From thy long cloudy bed
Shoot forth thy damask head!
New-startled blush of Flora,
The grief of pale Aurora,
Who will contest no more,
Haste, haste to strew her floor!
Vermilion ball that's given
From lip to lip in heaven,
Love's couch's coverlet,
Haste, haste to make her bed!
Dear offspring of pleased Venus
And jolly plump Silenus,
Haste, haste to deck the hair
Of the only sweetly fair!
See! rosy is her bower,
Her floor is all this flower;
Her bed a rosy nest
By a bed of roses pressed.
But early as she dresses,
Why fly you her bright tresses?
Ah! I have found, I fear,—
Because her cheeks are near.

IOC Sweetens '16, '18 Games Offering To Lure Nine Network Back To Table
The IOC "is turning its sights to the Australian market and will look to entice Nine Entertainment Co. back to the negotiating table after the network pulled out of the race this year," according to Darren Davidson of THE AUSTRALIAN. After failing to generate high enough bids at the start of the year, the IOC "repackaged the Australian rights and is offering one deal encompassing" the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in addition to the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games in South Korea. Nine "incurred a big loss on the London Olympics due to a persistently weak ad market." Nine is said "to be reluctant to the idea, but willing to listen." Ten "recently acquired the rights for the Sochi Games in Russia in February and is said to be interested." Kerry Stokes's Seven West Media "is considered the front-runner after being disappointed at losing London 2012 to Nine" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 8/2).
Olympic Notes: IAAF President Lamine Diack Critical Of Istanbul's Ability To Host Olympics
Int'l Association of Athletics Federations President Lamine Diack has "harshly criticized" the Istanbul 2020 Olympic bid. Diack: "They cannot present themselves as an Olympic host site if they are not capable of controlling their athletes." Istanbul is competing to host the 2020 Summer Games with Tokyo and Madrid, with the decision to be announced by the IOC in Buenos Aires on Sept. 7. More than 30 Turkish athletes "have been caught doping in the past year" (DPA, 7/31). ... Former Brazilian footballer Pele said that Madrid "meets the conditions of an Olympic city." Pele: "Madrid without a doubt has the conditions to host the Olympics, and this is good because I like the city a lot" (EFE, 7/31). ... A government source said that Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida plans to attend a session of the IOC in Buenos Aires on Sept. 7, at which the host of the 2020 Summer Games "will be selected, to support Tokyo's bid to stage the event." Other members of the Cabinet, including PM Shinzo Abe, "are expected to attend the session in a last-ditch effort to bring the quadrennial event to the Japanese capital" (GLOBAL TIMES, 7/31).

Super Bowl XLVII: The WAIT is on
Posted February 2, 2013
Updated February 3, 2013
There are two nightmares that every NFL football player has.
One is that your college team has informed you that you still have eligibility. They ask you to come back to play for one more game, but it never works out. Either you can't get your pads on or you can't remember your plays.
The second is getting to play in the Super Bowl, but in this recurring dream, almost without fail, you're running late. The players are running onto the field and your coaches are yelling at you to hurry up.
Both dreams have one common theme.
You work so hard day after day to prepare for a game, and for whatever reason, you're not prepared. How can something like that happen? Football players are meticulous creatures of habit. And their worst fear is not being ready, not being on time, not being prepared.
There's only one DAYdream that every NFL football player has on a consistent basis. And that is playing in a Super Bowl. On Sunday, the 49ers and the Ravens are going to get the opportunity to live out their dreams.
But before that happens, they have to endure the most frustrating time of their careers right now: THE WAIT.
That period of time from your pregame walk through on Saturday to Sunday at 6:30.
Every player in the NFL gets to buy two Super Bowl tickets, whether you're playing in the game or not. After my first season in 1998, I went down to Miami to see my parents, who had just moved down there from Smithfield.
The Super Bowl that year was being played at Joe Robbie Stadium between the Broncos and the Falcons. I gave my tickets to mom's boss. I had no intention of going to the game.
I called Ken Oxendine, the Falcons backup running back, to see if I could stop by his hotel to say hello. It was the day before the biggest game of his life, so I didn't know what to expect.
It was very unusual. He was sitting in his hotel room with his family and former coaches. They were all sitting there just staring at him. There was some light conversation, but it just seemed that nobody wanted to bother a guy that was going to play in the Super Bowl.
Ken said the clock seemed like it was standing still. He didn't want to take a nap and get stiff. He didn't want to walk around the hotel and get bothered by fans. He didn't know what he wanted to do other than get time to speed up.
He said, "People think that I've been preparing for this game for the last two weeks, so what are a few more hours. The reality is that I've been preparing for this game my WHOLE LIFE, and it can't get here fast enough."
Crazy, the one thing that every NFL player wants, the chance to play in a Super Bowl, is right there, and the WAIT is killing him.
I think the 49ers are going to beat the Ravens by 10 in Super Bowl XLVII. I think.
But there are two things I know. When the ball kicks off, both teams will be at their mental and physical peaks, ready to play.
And second, there will be one team who is going to have the opportunity to have all there DAYdreams come true!

How much do you think about your garbage? Beyond bagging it and tossing it, our guess is not so much.
At Dallas City Hall, people think long and hard about what we throw away. Where you might see some old drywall or the remnants of last night's dinner, they see dollar signs.
Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled Hefty trash bags yearning to breathe free. The city will turn it all into a revenue stream, roughly translated as methane gas that converts through the magic of environmental science into clean-burning natural gas.
It's a laudable effort. Turning garbage into a cash crop means revenue the city doesn't have to extract from taxpayers. Where Dallas unfortunately steps over the line is the heavy-handed way it intends to acquire more garbage. It's called "flow control," which, juvenile joking aside, effectively means enforcing ownership of all garbage produced in the city, yours included.
Today, if you own commercial property in Dallas, garbage is your responsibility. Unlike city-serviced single-family homes, you must hire a private company to dump your Dumpster.
If that trash goes somewhere other than the city's landfill, the city loses valuable raw material. To correct this, city garbage officials want to mandate that all commercial trash goes to the McCommas Bluff landfill in far southern Dallas. Roughly doubling trash tonnage at McCommas could mean another $18 million per year in revenue, they argue.
In addition to charging private haulers a licensing fee, Dallas also charges a "tipping fee" per ton of trash dumped at its landfill. The city says its fees are "market competitive," no doubt because it must compete with private landfills outside the city, including at least two owned by private waste haulers.
What might happen if Dallas no longer had to compete? As the sole legal wastebasket, the city could charge whatever it wanted to use its landfill. Waste haulers that chose to play by such monopolistic rules would pass the costs along to their customers.
Fewer would, of course, reducing competition for your garbage business. And the ones that did would pay more — and charge more. City government benefits through this pseudo-tax on waste haulers; customers like you foot the bill.
Waste haulers' 4-mpg trucks would have to rumble much farther, with an additional hundreds of trips per day — the city's estimate — through the already congested downtown freeway web to reach distant McCommas, unless they wanted to wait in longer lines at the Bachman transfer station in northwest Dallas. Not surprisingly, many southern Dallas leaders balk at the idea of mandating that more of northern Dallas' trash end up on their side of the river.
The irony is that the city can accomplish much of this without the unwarranted fist of flow control.
For one thing, it could charge waste haulers higher franchise fees to pick up Dallas' commercial trash. Bigger companies such as Waste Management and Republic, which own their out-of-town landfills, would be affected proportionately to the little guys. No trucks would be forced to make the long north-to-south drive to unload. Higher upfront revenue, probably no more trash at McCommas.
Or, Dallas could take the more business-friendly step of slashing its franchise and tipping fees, effectively undercutting other landfills. This would lead most haulers to see the city's better deal and choose to dump with the city. Lower upfront revenue, more trash/treasure at McCommas.
Haulers could then charge their customers less — at least the smart and competitive ones would. Even Waste Management and Republic would have to cut their rates, if only to hold market share.
If green revenue is the goal, either option beats anti-competitive flow control. Competition over regulation. What a concept.

Chile striker Suazo looking for move to Europe
Chile striker Humberto Suazo admits he would like to test himself in Europe in the New Year, having been linked with a move away from his native South America due to his phenomenal goal-scoring rate.
Since 2003, Suazo has scored just short of 200 goals - and that does not include his 17 for Chile. Sunderland, Everton, Hull City and Birmingham were all linked in the summer, but clubs from Spain, Italy and Germany are also said to be keeping close tabs on his situation.
Now with Mexican club Monterrey, Suazo is hoping he will soon seal a move to Europe ahead of next summer's World Cup finals.
"I have several proposals from European teams and I hope that one of them gets arranged," Suazo told Multimedios Deportes. "In my opinion this is the exact moment for moving to a European league.
"It's a nice opportunity for making a dream come true. I hope that when the Mexican league ends to have the chance of a move to Europe.
"I have gone through very good moments with my national team and with Monterrey but now is the time to make true a dream that I have since I started to play football."

I need to make a program that can accept a string input(I've already done this) and make all the letters lowercase. After this, the program needs to match up the string variable with other choices. I would try to make some kind of header file, but I don't really know how.
Example: Enter a string
Makes all letters lowercase
reads to see if it matches choices
if(string == "answer1")
else if(string == "answer2")
else if(string == "answer1")
gives out correct input
I had already set up a program to work like this, but it is extremely long.
if(x == "Answer")
else if(x == "answer")
This isn't really a serious issue. Although, if someone can give me a soulution, I will be greatly happy.

The 411 Wrestling Top 5 2.06.13: Week 206 – Top 5 Non-WWE or TNA Talents
Hello everyone and welcome to 411 Wrestling's Top 5 List. What we are going to is take a topic each week and all the writers here on 411 wrestling will have the ability to give us their Top 5 on said topic, plus up to three honorable mentions.
So, on to this week's topic…
TJ Hawke
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume El Generico has signed his contract by the time this gets published. Regardless, Generico is the best wrestler in the world, so he's number one on all the lists.
5. The Young Bucks – Yes, I am very blatantly cheating with this selection. It's my list though, so I don't care. In my opinion, The Young Bucks have been the best team in the world since 2009. Other teams have been greater for stretches since that time, but in terms of being consistently great, no team can match the Bucks. They should be one of the hardest pushed acts in all of the WWE.
4. Prince Devitt – Devitt has become the backbone of NJPW's Junior Heavyweight Division the last three years, and he has held the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships on multiple occasions. He's also won a Best of the Super Juniors Tournament. During this time, he has been one of the most reliable wrestlers in the world in terms of producing great matches when his promotion needs him to produce great matches. He is quite simply, one of the best wrestlers in the world, and I think he could be a star in any promotion that he was under contract to.
3. Akira Tozawa – Much like the next name on this list, Tozawa is somewhat of a late bloomer, as he did not come into his own until the second half of his American excursion in 2011. Since that time, he has delivered outstanding matches in Japan, America, and Europe. While his look would probably hold him back from being a big time star in the WWE, I think he's someone who would have success no matter where they were booked. He is that talented.
2. Kazuchika Okada – RAINMAKER!!! Need I say more? Ok, fine. After a run in TNA that could charitably be described as "forgettable," Okada returned to NJPW. Since his return, he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and became one of the best main eventers in the world. The man simply has great matches all the time now, and he is very clearly the future of NJPW, if the powers that be want him to be.
1. Shingo Takagi – Shingo Takagi has been one of the best wrestlers in the world for a few years now. While he's had some great matches in his home promotion of Dragon Gate, he's also traveled overseas and had absolutely unbelievable matches in ROH, PWG, DG:UK, and DGUSA. While he's not that tall, he has a fantastic build, and he could be a great monster heel in the WWE or TNA.
Francisco Ramirez
5. Kevin Steen – One reason why he isn't number one on my list, his look. Aside from that, there is no reason for this man to not be in TNA or WWE. He's incredible on the mic, he can wrestle his ass off, he's a tested and proven Indy main eventer, and great in a tag-team scenario. I restate it, his look is the only thing holding him back.
4. Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson – It baffles me how Tensai was picked up instead of Karl Anderson. Currently this man is a machine in Japan. Never making huge waves in the states, usually he was present in NWA cards, but in Japan it's a completely different story. Possibly this generations Stan Hansen, in the sense that he is an American, making a big name for himself in Japan, as opposed to the states. Perhaps best known as one half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions alongside Giant Bernard/Tensai, he's got a perfect look and technical abilities for either TNA or WWE. At the very least bring him to the WWE and have him reunite with Tensai and cut them loose on the tag division.
3. Alex Koslov – I was glad to hear he was in FCW as Peter Orlov, and I was disappointed when he was cut. Alex Koslov has earned his stripes in Mexico, he was over big time in CMLL, and was extremely popular in AAA, holding the AAA Cruiserweight Championship. He has been a part of the TNA World X-Cup, and in 2012 became one half of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag-Team Champions alongside Rocky Romero. The man is an international talent, a legit Russian, and one hell of a wrestler. What more is needed? Unfortunately for Koslov, if he was active during the cold war, he'd be over huge as a Russian villain.
2. Hijo del Fantasma – Just because Mistico was on top at the time, it didn't exactly make him the best choice for the WWE. Case in point, El Hijo del Fantasma, second-generation wrestler. Standing at 5″11, he already towers over the 5″7 Sin Cara, he has a good technical ground game, and he can also fly. The exclamation point, and one of the major reasons El Hijo del Fantasma may fit in the WWE is as simple as this, due to his studies in International Relations, he is a fluent English speaker. Something that arguably is a hindrance to anybody in the WWE, how different might Sin Cara be right now if he could cut a promo?
1. Mascara Dorada – The greatest high flyer I have ever seen! Seriously, I used the above video multiple times when I was writing the weekly Lucha column here. Each time I see it, I'm still astonished. Granted, Sin Cara himself is a great high flyer, yet he hasn't exactly fit in the WWE. Well, for me, it comes down to the X-Division, have Mascara Dorada go out and do his thing, and put that division on his back.
Steve "The Living Legend" Cook
5. Kevin Steen – Mr. Wrestling is obviously one of the best wrestlers outside of these two companies and I can see an argument for rating him higher. His character work in ROH this year has been as good as anything else going on in that company and he's had some solid matches, but he's not the in-ring worker he was a few years ago. Hopefully Steen can get in better shape and use his friendship with The Rock to move up in the world.
4. Adam Cole – This guy's been pretty solid everywhere he's gone and is currently the PWG Champion & ROH TV Champion. Cole's been on the radar of the big 2 for quite some time and people won't be surprised when he gets signed. His promos are up & down but he pretty much always delivers a good match and would fit right in with most of the smaller guys in WWE or TNA. The girls especially seem to like him, which helps.
3. Archibald Peck – Archie's decent enough in the ring, but what he excels at is playing a character. Whether he's Marchin' Archie, Mixed Martial Archie, the Mysterious & Handsome Stranger or the Barrister R.D. Evans, this man never fails to be entertaining. He'd do very well in either WWE or TNA and have a spot as a comedic character for years.
2. Sami Callihan – I don't expect this to last very long, as he's doing well in TNA's Gut Check voting thing and is on WWE's radar. I remember Callihan starting out in HWA as a fat kid that wasn't good for much other than getting harassed by his fellow heels. Now he's running around all over the indies and doing completely insane stuff. Doesn't get a lot of love around these parts because he's a CZW guy, but I think people will be surprised when he gets his shot in the big time.
1. Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson – Hell yes it's a homer pick. Those who have been reading my work for a long time know that I saw this man wrestling at the Richwood Flea Market several years ago and he was the main standout on the show. I thought Anderson had potential, but I can't say I thought he'd achieve what he has in Japan. He seems happy there, but I'd sure like to see him get a run in the U.S.
Larry Csonka
5. The Briscoe Brothers – DEM BOYS! I love the Briscoe Brothers, I love the whole presentation of them just being them, and that they aren't fake. I like their matches, and they are simply a fun tag team. They have done it al in ROH, and I would love to see them get a run elsewhere. WWE likely isn't going to be the place, because of "cosmetic issues," and they have admitted that. But in TNA, feuding with Daniels and Kazarian, that is a good time waiting to happen. DAY ONE. MURPHY REC CENTER. CAMPBELL'S CHUNKY BABY!
4. Kevin Steen – Kevin Steen is a guy that people like to mock, because "he doesn't have the look." Steen is a great promo, and can go in the ring with a wide variety of workers, but the one thing the even he admits has held him back is the look. If he decided to get motivated and get in shape, something he has admitted he has to do, Steen could deliver in WWE or TNA. I am not saying he is the next Punk or Daniel Bryan, but I do believe that the man would be a valuable part of either roster if he was motivated and had the chance.
3. Johnny Gargano – Johnny Gargano has been on WWE's radar, and for good reason. He was one of the very best PPV performers in 2012; he works well with a wide variety of opponents, and has continually grown as a performer, both as a wrestler and on the mic. He is the top guy for DGUSA-EVOLVE, holding their title for well over 400 days at this point, and has become a must see performer over the last few years.
(TIE) 1. Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi – These guys, these fucking guys are what New Japan has been abut for me. Okada and Tanahashi has been feuding and having the best matches for the company for some time now, and they are two performers who do not let me down. The shame of it all is that a lot of people will never know, either because they cannot watch NJPW, or because they have some notion that Japanese wrestling sucks because it isn't WWE. Whatever the case, these are two of the very best wrestlers on the planet right now, and they are also responsible for the resurgence of NJPW over the last two years. Tanahashi as the super face, Okada as the "Rainmaker," his nemesis.
5. X-Pac/Sean Waltman – Too me this is an easy answer. Waltman still has plenty to give and if he can lay off the booze and the drugs, he has a good mind for the business and much to give. His best use would be working with new guys coming up that that are a smaller teaching them the tricks on how to be a good, small man whether as a heel or face. This is a guy that managed to remold himself as a worker after suffering service neck injuries and becoming more over in the process. Like everyone I pick on this list, he would serve a specific purpose that has as much to do with position on the card, what he offers in terms of the promotion itself by filling a need and his ability to teach others around him.
4. Steve Corino – People may baulk at this but I think a short-term program with John Cena would make for decent entertainment. Start him off as this bitter old school type that is sick of the flash and pandering that John Cena peddles and the fact he appeals to kids. You could do half a dozen vignettes with Corino running down the WWE/Cena in such a way that he would likely piss everyone off. Have him just destroy a bunch of undercard guys all while jawing at Cena about being a pussy. A couple of key wins to earn his shot and you can get a couple of PPV's out of it. You don't need to keep him around for much more than 6 months because you would essentially be feeding him to Cena to help and in the process help freshen up the main event for a spell and give someone unique for Cena to work against.
3. The Colony – With the WWE focusing so heavily on children, I could not think of a better "act" that would appeal to kids. Sin Cara for all intents and purposes is dead in the water unless some form of miracle happens. Something like The Colony would be perfect for the undercard as they can work with pretty much anyone, have decent spot-filled matches, offer great merchandise opportunities and just be generally entertaining. They would have to know they would never be as a main event propositions and likely never rock the boat about their position on the card. I would pay money to watch Daniel Bryan lose his shit over wrestling The Ants and their shenanigans.
2. John Morrison/MVP/Shelton Benjamin – It makes sense to group all three of these guys into pick since they have been all interchangeable on the rumor mill recently. Word in the 'hood is that the WWE is looking to bring back mid-card talent to bolster their ranks and when you think of mid-card talent you think of these three. All are good in ring workers, all know about the "WWE Style", all have had an extended sabbatical from the WWE and are fresh and any one of the three does have the potential to break into the main event if they catch on. Personally MVP would be the pick of the litter since his style is more ground based, is the best talker amongst the three and had the most potential to develop as a worker after leaving the WWE ranks. In a perfect world all three would be a good fit for the WWE. Now only if Carlito could get motivated again.
1. Adam Pearce – Pearce may seem like a far out choice as my number one but his value extends beyond the ring. For starters he has the size that the WWE like in a performer and actually is a decent worker. Does have the potential to be a main eventer? Unlikely. He would be a solid mid-card guy that can work with just about anyone but the lack of something "special" would see him hover in that role. His real value would be backstage. HHH is slowly assembling his crew for when he takes over WWE and having a lieutenant like Pearce would not be the dumbest move. He's already had vast experience booking promotions and running ROH TV. Sure it's not the WWE but the general principles are the same. By brining in a guy that HHH can mould who has an old-school mentality that can book, be an agent and help run TV…that's gold right there.

Maryland special session: O'Malley, lawmakers to consider gambling expansion
Gov. Martin O'Malley is likely to call a special session to expand gambling next month.
O'Malley's is expected to announce Thursday that the session will begin on August 8.
House Speaker Michael Busch met with lawmakers Wednesday{ }to tell them to be prepared for a special session to expand gambling next month.
The{ }meeting lasted{ }for more than an hour.
Busch met on Tuesday with David Cordish, the owner of Maryland's largest casino, who does not want a casino to be allowed in Prince George's County, because he believes it will seriously hurt his business.
Gov. Martin O'Malley wants to hold a special session this summer to tackle the issues of allowing table games and a new casino site. O'Malley wants a consensus to be reached before calling the session.
The sixth casino has been a tough sell in the House, where delegates have expressed concern about lowering the state's 67 percent tax rate.

IN THE curtain-raiser to an action-packed English summer of international cricket, New Zealand stole the show by limiting England to a plodding 4-160 on the first day of the first Test at Lord's.
The stage was set for England to show its true colours, with the team back at full strength, at cricket's HQ, and desperate to rectify for a humbling series draw in New Zealand two months ago. Captain Alastair Cook won the toss, and elected to bat while there was a premature outbreak of summer.
But Cook's decision was also the preference of New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum, who wanted to bowl and guided his battery to an unrelenting stranglehold on England.
England needed 26 overs to reach 50, 50 overs to make 100, and 73 to see 150. It was far from riveting.
By stumps, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, who foiled the Kiwis with 179 and 68, respectively, in a warm-up game last weekend, were 25 and 3 not out.
England hadn't lost many wickets, but to score so slowly in 80 overs, 30 of which were maidens, was as damaging as being bowled out for 167 on the first day of the series in New Zealand. That made the overwhelmingly favoured English begin to doubt themselves, and fired up what was a shaky Black Caps side. That inspiration hasn't left them.
Applying constant pressure with disciplined bowling and tight, energetic fielding, New Zealand found swing as the day greyed over, lights came on after tea, and showers passed through. Rain ended play with 10 overs left.
Trent Boult picked up the wickets of Cook (32) and Jonathan Trott (39), and fellow seamers Tim Southee and Neil Wagner soon warmed up. At the other end, spinner Bruce Martin, the last man to make the 11 with New Zealand unchanged for a third straight Test, tied up England with unexpected savvy and turn.
Martin, ironically, made the first breakthrough, grabbing the only wicket of the first session. He frustrated Nick Compton into a wild swipe to point, where Southee made a diving, two-handed catch. Compton was out for 16 off 62 balls, none reaching the boundary.
Soon after, Martin should have had Jonathan Trott out before he'd scored, but the ball flew between his arms. Still, Cook lived on borrowed time after lunch, barely surviving Boult in a review before he made two more runs then nicked a third edge behind off Boult to trudge off for 32 off 92 balls at 2-67. It's the third time in four Tests he's fallen to the left-armer.
Trott and Ian Bell threatened to take the initiative from New Zealand, until their stand of 45 was undone three overs before tea. Boult was reintroduced by McCullum for his fourth stint and immediately struck. Trott, who averaged 56 in New Zealand, sent a thick edge to third slip, where Brownlie made a brilliant catch.
Bell, 31 off 133 balls, was the only wicket to fall after tea, again at the death. Just two overs before play ended, the tireless Wagner induced Bell to nibble outside off and the glance was pouched by BJ Watling. Bell and Root had also combined for 45.

Tinea versicolor
Tinea versicolor is a long-term (chronic) fungal infection of the skin.
Causes of Tinea versicolor
Tinea versicolor is fairly common. It is caused by a type of fungus called Pityrosporum ovale. This fungus is normally found on human skin. It only causes a problem in certain settings.
The condition is most common in adolescent boys and young adult men. It typically occurs in hot climates.
Tinea versicolor Symptoms
The main symptom is patches of discolored skin that:
- Have sharp borders (edges) and fine scales
- Are often dark reddish to tan in color
- Are found on the back, underarms, upper arms, chest, and neck
- Do not darken in the sun so may appear lighter than the surrounding healthy skin
African Americans may have a loss of skin color or an increase in skin color.
Other symptoms include:
- Increased sweating
- Itching
Tests and Exams
Your health care provider will examine a skin scraping under a microscope to look for the fungus.
Treatment of Tinea versicolor
The condition is treated with antifungal medicine that is either applied to the skin or taken by mouth.
Applying over-the-counter dandruff shampoo to the skin for 10 minutes each day in the shower is another treatment option.
Prognosis (Outlook)
Tinea versicolor is easy to treat. Changes in skin color may last for months. The condition may come back during warm weather.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of tinea versicolor.
Prevention of Tinea versicolor
Avoid excessive heat or sweating if you have had this condition in the past. You can also use anti-dandruff shampoo on your skin every month to help prevent the problem.

Aqueduct: Oft-injured Sean Avery retired
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Sean Avery, the gelding who returned from a bowed tendon to win a Grade 1 stakes at Saratoga, has been retired from racing, his connections said Wednesday.
Sean Avery, named after the former National Hockey League player, will reside at Old Friends, a Thoroughbred retirement facility, in Georgetown, Ky., according to John DeStefano, the racing manager for Black Swan Stable, which owns Sean Avery.
Sean Avery, a son of Cherokee Run, was trained for most of his career by Allen Iwinski though in 2009 he was conditioned by Mike Hushion.
In a career that began in 2008, Sean Avery, bred by Darley Stable and purchased at auction for $30,000, won 7 of 14 starts and earned $398,640. Before he made it to the races, Sean Avery needed a chip removed from an ankle. Following his career debut at Saratoga, in which he finished third, Sean Avery sustained a fractured knee and was off for 13 months.
Following the 2009 Fall Highweight, in which he finished sixth, Sean Avery was diagnosed with a bowed tendon in his right foreleg. Few horses come back from that type of injury to be stakes caliber, yet alone win a Grade 1.
But in 2011, Sean Avery won 4 of 5 starts, including the Longfellow Stakes at Monmouth Pak and the Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt at Saratoga by a nose over Trappe Shot.
Unfortunately, Sean Avery sustained a second bowed tendon and while he did return last fall to win an overnight stakes at Belmont Park, he developed a bleeding problem that compromised the rest of his career.
According to DeStefano, Sean Avery bled after running fifth in the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont last September and again in the Frank De Francis Memorial Dash at Laurel last October in which he finished eighth. He also bled after running last in an optional claimer Feb. 6 at Gulfstream Park.
In addition to bleeding, Sean Avery's tendon had some heat in it, according to DeStefano, and the decision was made to retire him.
DeStefano said that Sean Avery is currently at Lynne Boutte's farm in Ocala and will soon be vanned to Old Friends.
"It was a great ride," DeStefano said. "He gave us one of the most exciting moments Black Swan has ever had and gave Allen his first Grade 1 win."

Sevin Rosen Has Hit In Splunk
Partners over at Dallas-based venture capital investor Sevin Rosen Funds might just be breaking out the bubbly for lunch, after one of its portfolio firms--Splunk, debuted this morning in a huge debut on the Nasdaq. Splunk, whose other investors include August Capital,JK&B Capital, and Ignition Partners, priced last night at $17.00, well above its $11.00 to $13.00 estimated IPO range, and even farther above its earlier initial estimates of a range of $8.00 to $10.00 per share for its IPO. It was trading at over $32.00 a share in morning trading, rising as high as $34.75. Sevin Rosen owned 20.7 percent of Splunk before the IPO.

Research Interests
My overall research interest is linking risk, resilience and global health, including the integration of climate change into disaster research and health research. I have three main areas:
Peace and conflict: How and why disaster-related interventions (disaster diplomacy, including for climate-related hazards) and health-related interventions (health diplomacy, including pandemics) do and do not influence conflict and cooperation.
Island sustainability: Creating and maintaining safer and healthier communities on islands and in isolated areas, such as border, Arctic, and mountain communities.
Risk education: Increasing the effectiveness and impact of risk education, focusing on health and disaster risks, including climate change.
Post-disaster and cure-related investigations are an essential part of this research, but I prioritise continual disaster and health risk management in order to implement solutions before it is too late.
Teaching Interests
I co-ordinate the IRDR module GEOLGR05 "Risk and Disaster Reduction Research Tools". I also give lectures, seminars, and workshops around and outside of UCL on topics such as island sustainability, disaster diplomacy, vulnerability and resilience, disability and disaster, climate change, and interdisciplinary research for sustainability. Dissertations which I have supervised include local knowledge for climate change impacts on small islands, post-disaster response in the Philippines, ecosystem-based adaptation, child health and climate policy, and gender-based violence in post-earthquake Haiti.

Posted February 27, 2012
When you're a meteorologist, you're sure to get the occasional fun weather-related birthday, Christmas or other holiday gift, and this year my wife Sandy made sure there was no exception, after she stumbled upon a "weather stick" on the web while she was looking for something else. This was something new to me,and I got a big kick out of it, although I found later that it is apparently fairly well known across northeastern parts of the country, New England in particular.
The instructions simply have you mount the weather stick outdoors, and the stick will point up for fair weather, and down for foul! I found a nice spot to put it where we can see it through our kitchen sink window, and sure enough, it works! While it is really more of an indicator than a predictor, it's been fun to have around, so I thought I'd snap a couple of photos and post them here.
The first image above shows the stick on a cool day with sunshine and very dry air in place - the stick curves up to reflect this, but it is a very different appearance you'll see in the second photo, taken on a mild, humid and somewhat foggy day. The stick responds pretty strongly, pointing way down!
Of course, the "secret" of the stick is that it acts as a form of hygrometer or psychrometer, instruments that respond to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or to the relative humidity. Many objects or materials undergo some change of physical characteristic that occurs as water vapor molecules are absorbed (when the air is moist) or released (when the air is dry), and these changes can be taken advantage of to measure humidity. One well-known example is human hair - in addition to the hair-style issues that can be associated with humid days, the fact that hair lengthens and shortens in a repeatable manner as humidity changes has led to it being used as the basis of rather accurate scientific instruments, at least for a moderate range of humidity values not too close to the absolutely dry or saturated ends of the scale.
The weather stick seems to be based on this kind of behavior, and is made from wood that has cells and fibers that expand and contract as vapor is absorbed and released. Of course, there is one additional requirement, and that is for the response to humidity to be "differential," such that the wood along the top of the stick expands and contracts more for a given change in humidity than the wood along the bottom of the stick. That is the property of these balsam or birch sticks that causes them to bend instead of simply becoming a little longer or shorter when the humidity changes.
A similar principle of differential expansion is used in some thermometers that you may be familiar with. Something called a bi-metallic strip is used in many thermostats or in inexpensive wall mount thermometers. These instruments frequently employ a coiled metal strip that is actually made of two different metals bonded together. The metals are selected such that they have different thermal expansion coefficients, meaning that as temperature changes one side of the strip expands or contracts more than the other, which makes the spiral tighten or relax a bit. The coil can then be linked to an indicator needle and calibrated so that it shows what the current temperature is with reasonable accuracy, or in the case of a thermostat , the movement of the coil can cause heat or A/C to trip on and off at a desired temperature.
It's looking like the stick be my back yard will be pointing down today, back up tomorrow, down Wednesday and then back up on Thursday, so it'll get a nice workout for the week ahead!

At first I thought you were referring to a weather stick my late great-grandfather had on his porch. You hold the stick outside and make predictions(/indications) based on the stick's characteristics when you bring it indoors. It is raining if the stick is wet. It is hot if the stick is warm... etc , etc; and my favorite - if the stick comes back missing, then call the cops. Somebody stole your stick.
Yes, I'm from up north, and that's how "divining rods" work as well! What seems to be an old wives tale has actual science behind it. Glad you've been enjoying your gift!
my brother would love one of those!! neat!

Shop The Edit: 1. Marni embellished top // 2. ASOS beanie hat // 3. Topshop ripped skinny jeans // 4. Tibi silk tank top // 5. Jason Wu leather jacket // 6. Sekonda steel watch // 7. ASOS pointed toe heels
This week I fell in love with a £3,000 Jason Wu leather jacket. It will never be mine (unless I win the lottery – which would be a miracle in itself, seeing as I never buy lottery tickets), but it's made it's way onto my Spring 2013 wishlist anyway. It would be a shame to exclude something so beautiful… I'm also crushing over more realistic buys, like the ASOS pointed pumps and Topshop's skinny ripped jeans. Pair them with the £3,000 jacket and you've got a seriously hot high-low fashion mix! What's on your wishlist this week? Which of the above items are your favourite buys?

text: Hi all, The lid on my Hansa metal development tank is stuck and simply refuses to come off. I've tried to heat the lid in very hot water, hoping it would expand just that tiny bit that would have it slip off the tank, but had no luck. Cooling the lower part did not help either. I've also tried wrangling the two parts from each other by brute force. I also tried the opposite - trying to pull them apart with as little force as possible. Any suggestions what to do? Thanks!

Government officials hold positions of public trust, which is why they must be held accountable to the American people. Too often Washington bureaucrats act on behalf of special interests and not in the best interest of the nation. Public leaders, and the decisions they make, should invite the confidence and support of the people those public leaders serve.
Republicans will look closely at the record of Obama Administration political appointees to help ensure they reflect our national values and can garner the support of the American people. Republican oversight efforts will help ensure the decisions and activities of federal agencies are open to public scrutiny and support the country's best interests.

Dolby concert: Poetry in motion
I caught Thomas Dolby's show in St. Petersburg last night. Fantastic concert. It's been 15 years since Dolby toured the U.S., and even though this was his 12th night in a row of live shows, he was full of energy, fueled by an enthusiastic crowd at the State Theatre.
For 90 minutes, Dolby rebuilt his songs layer by layer, making sure to take time out between tunes to chat up the audience, telling the stories behind the music. In addition to his classic lineup of tunes like "I Live in a Suitcase" and "Windpower," Dolby added a new song, "Your Karma Hit My Dogma," a thumping contemporary piece based at least partially on his legal battle with Kevin Federline (who had used a portion of "She Blinded Me With Science" without permission in one of his rap songs.)
Not content to let him rest after his set, the crowd began chanting "Dolby! Dolby!" -- coaxing Thomas back for a few additional numbers, including a performance of "Airwaves" with headlining act B.T.
A concert worth waiting 15 years to see? You bet. Just don't wait that long again before you visit Florida again, Thomas!

Reviews of this property
The apartment is exactly as described. There are a couple of things to note that would have been helpful to us. There was only one bath sized towel, the rest were hand towel sized (according to United States standards). I learned from a Korean friend there that they use the hand towel size to shower with. The other thing is that it is normal to use mattress pads to sleep on instead of sheets. The directions to the place and information was very clear and Captain Ryan arranged for transportation to the airport at our request. He was prompt in answering emails. I would highly recommend this apartment and would rent it again next time we travel there.
We enjoyed our stay in Seoul and Captain Ryan's apartment. It was clean, family friendly and close to communications (two underground stations 10-15 minutes away). There were shops in the area and also many small restaurants with good prices. Captain Ryan answered our E-mails when we had questions. The only thing that could be aproved are the amount of towels and a welcoming letter with the password for the wi-fi and an explanation about the different kinds of sheets that are used in Korea (we were a bit confused by it at our arrival).
But in all we really recommend Mr Ryan's apartment.
/ the Ekberg family from Sweden
Captain Ryans Nest was perfect for my family of 5, the apartment itself was a home away from home, exceptionally clean, very spacious, the Wi Fi was excellent and the location was great, 10 minute walk to Yongsan station and from there you could visit all the major tourist attractions within 20 minutes, and the street food close to the apartments were a bonus. Captain Ryan Kim was exceptionally helpful and was always available when I needed to ask questions, without his help, we would have been lost sheeps in Seoul (he even organised a shuttle for us the morning we left Seoul). I highly recommend Captain Ryans Nest its just perfect especially if it is your first time visiting Seoul. I know for sure I will definately be back at Captain Ryans nest the next time I am in Seoul. Thank you for having us at your apartment Captain Ryan we had an exceptional time and your service is First Class, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you again.

The time has now come for him to re-introduce himself to some former team mates. The cauldron that awaits him at Anfield will have to wait for a good few months yet, but City's number seven will be one of the chief players looking to put Liverpool to the sword when they visit the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
When people say "ooh £50million for Raheem Sterling, that's an awful lot", they're wrong. Nobody is denying that on the scale of things £50million is a substantial amount of money, but to men who command oil empires around the world and probably employ butlers to roll them the finest tobacco in $100 notes, it's just about the square root of diddly squat.
There are sub-plots aplenty in the Premier League's upcoming season. Will Harry Kane repeat his incredible performance from last season? Will Chelsea be the first team to retain the title since Manchester United in 2009? Will Tim Sherwood's head fall off under the weight of his concentrated smugness? Putting those aside for a second, let's have a look at the youngsters.
The Premier League summer transfer window is now in full swing, with all 20 clubs having conducted at least some business. High profile moves like Raheem Sterling's record transfer to Manchester City may have dominated the headlines, but what about some of the deals that just seem to make incredible sense?
What exactly is his crime? Turning down a lucrative contract offer because he wasn't happy with his general situation at the club? Not being quite as guarded with his media comments as he should've been? He's 20 years old. Show me a 20-year-old who hasn't said something ill-advised when frustrated and I'll show you a liar.
At national level, if you are high up the greasy pole, you are always on duty, always making decisions, always at the beck and call of constituents, MPs, and especially the 24 hour media. Yet sometimes you know you are jaded and only operating at half speed. What you really need is a weeks' break - or longer.
While not a carbon copy of Mourinho's 4-1-2-1-2, Manchester United, West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers and Liverpool have all, at one point or another deployed a diamond midfield in the 2014/15 campaign. The 4-3-1-2 allows teams to maintain numbers in the middle of the park, but means managers can field a creator in between the midfield and attack.
In case you've been living under a rock for the last few days, a bit of background first. England played San Marino on Thursday night, a game that Sterling started before being taken off at half time. England then played Estonia on Sunday evening and Roy Hodgson let slip that the Liverpool youngster wouldn't be starting as he'd told the manager that he felt "tired".
Liverpool haven't been handed the easiest return with a group featuring last season's champions Real Madrid, Swiss Super League winners FC Basel and new boys Ludogorets. It's a group they can realistically get out of though and will hope the fear factor of their historic European standing will unnerve the latter of those two, especially for home matches.

This Emotional Life: Info for Partners
A client recently introduced me to the PBS series This Emotional Life, which she had watched and shared with her husband. She said he found it helpful in understanding more about her depression. As you know, I'm all about helping the well partners better understand what's happening with their ill partners, so I wanted to share.
The website for the series explains their work this way:
- In these difficult times, we are all struggling to live happier, more fulfilled lives. Happiness can seem elusive with today's common personal challenges, ranging from everyday stresses and difficulties at home, at work or at school, to more clinical conditions including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress or other conditions. It's often difficult to find the information and support we need. This Emotional Life examines 24 topics, offering videos, articles and blogs, and the opportunity to find local support.
The topics are all ones I've covered here, and more: depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders, PTSD, etc. There's also info about forgiveness (a hot topic in my office recently), connecting with others, creativity and flow, and resilience. The site has a wealth of information, including clips from the series, blogs, videos, articles, and other related information.
To watch the actual three-part series, you can order it online, or my client said she watched it on Netflix.
That's it for today…go check it out!

How Can I Stop My Student Loan Garnishment?
Posted March 6, 2014
WRAL Reader Question
Dear Steve,
I tried to get a lower payment option on my student loans several times. Each time they asked more than I could afford to pay. So, I just did not pay anything. I hid from the reality that this would catch up with me. I am now in garnishment. I did not receive anything because I have a postal worker who likes to play a game of today you get mail tomorrow you may not. (this has been addressed several times with the post office).
I can not afford the garnishment amount even though they think I can. I can not afford to pay a monthly amount to the collector on top of my garnishment for 10 months to get out of garnishment. What can I do to get this taken off? Also, I am a nurse and was told that there are programs to help people working for a non-profit agency. Please help me!
Click here to get my free my weekday email newsletter with the latest tips and advice on how to beat debt and do better financially. Subscribe now.
Dear Sarah,
Well the most critical item I needed to know is if this is a private or government backed student loan. For private student loans your options are limited at best but you can click here to learn what options are available.
But if this is a government student loan I would urge you to call your servicer or Department of Education. Hopefully the administrative wage garnishment is relatively new and you can still appeal the amount if it is too much for you. The servicer or DOE should explain to you how to do this.
It is true that some public service can lead to loan forgiveness of federal loans. The program you are looking for is probably the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Under that program, you have to make 120 full monthly payments and you should look at the program requirements now to make sure you can be eligible once you get your loan out of default.
If you want to become eligible for this federal loan program you'll need to get your loans out of default. One option would be to look into the federal Direct Loan program and consolidate them.
Again, without more information all I can hope is these are federal loans that would be eligible.

ScienceLogic Delivers Smart IT Software for Enterprise Private Cloud Management
Multi-tenancy, automation, and extensive out-of-the-box support for integrated cloud platforms supportaccelerated enterprise private cloud deployments
RESTON, Va. – December 12, 2012 – ScienceLogic™ Inc. today announced enhancements to the company's award-winning data center and cloud management platform to give enterprise IT managers real-time and multi-tenant insight, visibility, and control over private cloud environments. The ScienceLogic platform provides unified monitoring out-of-the-box for integrated stacks like FlexPod and VCE Vblock, and the underlying technologies – Cisco UCS, NetApp, EMC, VMware, Xen, Microsoft Hyper-Vetc – that are designed specifically to deploy private clouds.
"As more enterprises deploy private and hybrid cloud environments, they must deal with levels of complexity, scale, and speed unlike anything they have faced previously," said Antonio Piraino, CTO, ScienceLogic. "Enterprise clouds require a highly integrated approach to monitoring and management, across aheterogeneous set of vendors and technologies. Traditional IT management provides only point solutions that were never meant to work together – per vendor, per technology, per data silo. Our customers are able to leapfrog the time and investment needed to integrate these disparate solutions, launch private and hybrid cloud environments confidently, and get to market faster for true competitive advantage."
Enterprise IT teams who want to be successful at deploying and operating private clouds to launch IT services as rapidly as the business requires will increasingly model their operations against these types of leaders and become a "service provider" to the rest of their organizations. Architected from the ground up to handle dynamic and heterogeneous computing environments at scale, ScienceLogic Smart IT solutions are the platform of choice for leading global service providers, like Equinix, Fasthosts, and Dimension Data.
The ScienceLogic platform integrates the core IT infrastructure management functions needed to run today's complex, distributed computing infrastructures – including physical and virtual systems, performance, network, service, event and asset management capabilities, as well as multi-tenancy, run book automation and service desk – all in one product with one unified code base, user interface and centralized data repository. Key features of the newest version include:
- Dynamic visualization of Cisco UCS, EMC, NetApp, VMware, Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure components in real time and grouped logically according to customer, service, or function
- Automated correlation of infrastructure health and availability issues across the private or hybrid cloud technology stack to business and customer impact for business-aware alerts and notifications
- First vendor support of just launched Cisco UCS Central, for proactive monitoring of global and distributed Cisco UCS deployments at scale
- Extended support for FlexPod and Vblock stacks and component technologies
About ScienceLogic
The standard for centralized, "Smart IT" operations and dynamic cloud management across any mix of data center and cloud environments, ScienceLogic ena
