He doesn't seem to ever get a break in the Twitterverse. This time, Jimmy Kimmel has enlisted the help of Josh Groban to poke fun at the besieged Twitter celeb, by showing a commercial for Groban's new album, The Best Tweets of Kanye West. You shouldn't actually expect to see this album in stores any time soon, but the commercial is priceless.Groban croons out Kanye's tweets with gusto, performing at his best tweets like "Do you know where to find marble conference tables? I'm looking to have a conference… not until I get the table though," and "I make awesome decisions in bike stores."This isn't the first time Kanye's tweets have been used for a multimedia gag: a few months back, the wise words of West were reenacted by kids, and he scored "showing improvement" on the hit celebrity spelling report card last month.If you're looking for a laugh, check out Groban's "new album" commercial below: Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kLIXlu copy Adweek Adweek

Jake Arrieta's Control Issues Linger and Other Bullets
You probably noticed that we're missing an Enhanced Box Score for yesterday's game. That wasn't just weekend laziness or footballus interruptus. An untimely internet service issue, which was only just resolved this morning, cost me most of my internetting last evening. We're back online today, and hopefully there won't be anymore issues (right, Time Warner?).
- Outside of one bad inning yesterday, Jake Arrieta's day wasn't terrible. That bad inning, though, was enough to give the game to the Brewers, and Arrieta lived into the very things we discussed this week with respect to his control and command issues. Two walks and a 2-0 meatball to Logan Schafer did the bulk of the damage. His final line – 5 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 4 ER, 4 K – screams "unfortunate sequencing," which was actually true. But, when it comes to walks, sometimes you make your own bad luck.
- Chang-Yong Lim made his debut yesterday (shaky control), which gave the Cubs a new record for players used in a single season, with 54.
- A savvy BN'er was wondering in the comments the other day whether the Boise Hawks would be short some players when the team heads to Vancouver to continue the Northwest League Championship series. You may recall, in earlier trips to Canada this season, some Hawks players had to stay home, because they didn't yet have the various documentation necessary to travel abroad. Apparently that's still an issue, as the Hawks will play today without Yasiel Balaguert, Carlos Penalver, Jeffrey Baez, Juan Paniagua, and Carlos Martinez-Pumarino.
- Bruce Levine on motivating losing teams in September.
- Dioner Navarro will listen to the Cubs first when it comes to a 2014 contract, but as I've said before, his success this year could have him (justifiably) looking for a starting job next year.
- Dale Sveum says Darwin Barney deserves the Gold Glove at second base again this year.
- A closer look at Ryan Sweeney, who hopes to return to the Cubs next year as a starter.

Body found, matches description of missing autistic boy
Police continue to search for Michael Kingsbury.
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- After a two-day intense search for a 7-year-old boy with autism who disappeared from his backyard on Sunday, police say they have found a body which matches the description of the boy.
Michael Kingsbury was last seen on Sunday morning while playing in his family's backyard in the 1700 block of West Virginia Avenue, Northeast D.C.
Dozens of police had passed out flyers and patrolled the streets of D.C. Academy recruits had gone door to door to make sure no stone goes unturned. Police said they interviewed everyone.
Police do not suspect foul play so far. Neighbors have raised concerns about registered sex offenders in the area. A quick search found more than 20 offenders listed within a quarter mile of the home in the Trinidad neighborhood.
Michael is described as a black male, approximately 4'3" tall, approximately 60 pounds, dreadlocks, with a light complexion. He was last seen wearing a pull-up diaper and may be in need of medical attention. He may not respond to verbal cues.
The boy's mother, Katrina Kingsbury, had posted photos of Michael on her Facebook page, along with her contact information for anyone who has information about her son. Katrina Kingsbury also helped pass out flyers, saying, "I'm going out and looking for my baby... not staying put."
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, Youth Investigations Division at 202-576-6768 or 911.

Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)
For the years 2009 to 2012 inclusive, every Canadian resident individual (other than a trust) 18 years of age or older has been able to contribute $5,000 a year to a TFSA. For 2013 and 2014, the contribution limit was increased to $5,500 a year, and for 2015 and later years, the limit has been further increased to $10,000 a year. Subject to certain exceptions, a TFSA is generally permitted to hold the same types of investments as an RRSP.
Unlike RRSPs, you will not obtain a tax deduction for contributions to a TFSA. However, you will not include in your income for tax purposes any income, losses or gains from investments held within a TFSA, or amounts withdrawn from it. The amounts withdrawn from a TFSA will also not be included in determining your eligibility for income- tested benefits or credits, such as the medical or age credit (see topics 79 and 83) or OAS clawback (see topic 72). If you do not contribute to a TFSA in one year, the amount can be carried forward indefinitely to future years. Any amounts withdrawn from a TFSA can also be recontributed without impacting your contribution room. For example, if you contribute $5,000 in each of the years 2009 to 2012 inclusive, $5,500 in each of 2013 and 2014, $10,000 in 2015 and then withdraw $6,000 in 2016, you'll be able to contribute $17,000 to your TFSA in 2017 ($5,500 contribution room in each of 2016 and 2017 plus the $6,000 withdrawn in 2016). Interest on money borrowed to invest in a TFSA is not deductible.
If you can afford it, this plan can prove to be a worthwhile savings vehicle. A TFSA can also provide you with some interesting opportunities to manage your retirement income.
Tax tip: If your spouse cannot afford to contribute to a TFSA, you can contribute to your spouse's TFSA as well as your own without any negative tax consequences. This will allow you to reduce your family's total tax bill.
Tax tip: Although amounts withdrawn from your TFSA can be recontributed without impacting your contribution room, the recontribution should generally not be made until the year following your withdrawal from the account. If you recontribute the amount withdrawn in the same year, you could be subject to an overcontribution penalty.
Your tax adviser can assist you in determining what savings vehicle is the best option for you, given your particular circumstances.

Article 36: The impact of explosive weapons in Gaza
The ongoing violence in Israel and Gaza illustrates again the urgent need for the international community to set stronger standards regarding the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. The use of heavy explosive weapons in places where civilians are concentrated creates a predictable pattern of harm. Regardless of the political complexity, the overall legality of the military actions being undertaken, or the legality of specific attacks, this pattern of harm must be recognised as unacceptable as a starting point...

F Word
Schuyler doesn't always share much in the way of information about her days at school, at least not immediately. She takes time to process before letting little bits and pieces slip out, almost always in the context of other conversations. So it was that a week and a half passed before she told us, on the last day of spring break, that she didn't want her external speaker on her iPad to be too loud because she didn't want people to look at her "like a freak", and that this was a result of someone at her school (someone she even knew, from her middle school cheerleading squad) calling her a freak the week before.
Before I go further, I want to stop right here and clarify something. This isn't an outrage piece, or a sympathy piece, either. Schuyler is fifteen, and she goes to school in a district that isn't exactly diverse. It's not the Thurston Howell III enclave that it once was, but still. Being different here isn't a direct path to success. She's been subject to weird looks and snotty remarks, particularly when she's speaking with her natural voice, but she's always been pretty good about laughing it off. Her take-away line from her beloved Back to the Future movies has always been "What are you looking at, butthead?" She's not getting bullied or anything. She's just living in the same world as the rest of us, where every so often someone's a dick. It happens.
What was interesting was how she had quietly internalized the remark, with no tears or drama, and tried to adjust her own behavior accordingly. Her speaker is new, a replacement for the model that has sadly failed her consistently over the past six months or so. This new speaker is loud, much louder than the one it replaced, and her fears of getting the funky look weren't entirely unjustified. Not because, as she said, she might be a freak, but more along the lines of how you might look at someone if they walked up to the counter of your favorite taco joint and shouted their order through a bullhorn.
Schuyler understands the necessity of using her iPad and speaker to communicate. She is also aware, in ways that I can only imagine, that doing so makes her different from everyone around her, and to a fifteen year-old girl, different is rarely good. For Schuyler, I don't think it's being different that bothers her. She'll proudly tell anyone who asks what church she goes to, for example, that she is a theist, which means she believes in God but not religion. In this town, that's a bold statement. But the difference of disability still rankles her. She can hear a thousand times that being different isn't a bad thing, and I'm pretty sure she even believes it, up to a point. But only just to that point, somewhere shy of emotional truth.
"Freak" feels like an archaic term, one that has largely been taken back by those against whom it has traditionally been used. Schuyler herself gets that; one of her favorite songs is "Beautiful Freak" by Eels, a song with which she also self-identifies. It wasn't the word itself that got under her skin, I suspect. It was hearing herself described as different, in a way that wasn't meant to flatter. And it came from a classmate, a peer. To a fifteen year-old girl, those are the blows that land.
As parents, the best we can do is remind her over and over again that being different isn't a bad thing, that she doesn't need to hide her disability, and that people are much less comfortable with her when they're unable to understand her.
"Do you know what the opposite of different is?" I asked her. "The same. Everything the same. How does that sound to you?"
"It sounds boring," she said. "I don't want to be like everyone else."
Even though I know that's not entirely true, or even mostly true at this stage of her life, it still comforts me that the thought is lodged in her head, ready to bloom when the time is right.
You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others
And that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Some people think, you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others
But that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

The cover art of Tea Leaf Green's latest, In the Wake, features a hooded Grim Reaper-like character in the ocean, the horizon behind him. On the 13-track collection, the San Francisco band takes a noticeable step away from simple jam, pop, and rock and embraces elaborately crafted song structures. Case in point: the three-part "Space Hero" suite.
Why are these factoids relevant? Consider that the Grateful Dead's sixth studio album, 1973's Wake of the Flood, marked a similar shift in the evolution of a Bay Area band. For the Dead, it was a move from bluesy undertones to eccentric jazz, most noticeably perhaps, in the multi-part "Weather Report Suite." And on the cover of that San Francisco band's album? A hooded figure holding a sickle, with the ocean behind him.
But as obvious as the coincidences are now, the members of Tea Leaf Green didn't realize they had been inspired by the Dead's 1973 record until after their 2013 album was complete.
"We were shocked," Tea Leaf Green bassist Reed Mathis says. "The album was done before any of that occurred to us. Not only did we not plan that, we didn't even notice."
Mathis joined Tea Leaf Green in 2007, just after the departure of founding member Ben Chambers, and at a time when the band needed a jolt of energy and inspiration. Leaving behind his full-time gig with the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Mathis also walked away from a touring gig with Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann's group, 7 Walkers, in favor of focusing on Tea Leaf Green.
In 2011, the band added drummer Cochrane McMillan to the team in a mix that shadowed the Dead's dual-drummer approach. The addition of McMillan was beneficial in another way: He co-owns the Coyote Hearing recording studio in Oakland, Calif. That little perk allowed Tea Leaf Green to take a relaxed approach to recording In the Wake. Over the course of a year, and in between the band's tours, Mathis, McMillian, and company finished the record, which they released in May.
"When we weren't on the road, I was there every day. I slept at the studio," says Mathis. "When you hear about the great studios back in the day, they always talk about the vibe. Coyote has that, for sure."
While the members of Tea Leaf Green were recording In the Wake, they decided not to perform any of the songs live until they'd been recorded. Mathis says, "When you play a song live, you have to make decisions about practical things, like, 'How are we actually going to play this?' But when you don't do it live and you're in the studio, you can do anything. You're just using your imagination."
Mathis' jazz background has influenced Tea Leaf Green's live sound, as well. Over the last five years, he says he's watched "a good band with the talent to become a great band" become an outfit that challenges him nightly.
"I want real danger on stage," he says. "I come from an improvising world. When most people think about improvising, they think about soloing. That's not my concept.
"Soloing is improvising for beginners," Mathis adds. "Real group improvising has nothing to do with soloing, and it doesn't have to be a jam section of a song. You can do it anytime. I do it the whole time, and the rest of the band is starting to play that way, and that's how the Dead played. There weren't planned out parts. They were just going for it, and it worked because they trusted each other. That's how post-World War II jazz operated, and that's where I want to be."
This winter, Mathis is taking time off from Tea Leaf Green to tour with the Rhythm Devils, the side project of Dead drummer Mickey Hart. The Tea Leaf Trio, featuring Mathis, McMillan, and keyboardist/singer Trevor Garrod, will open. The condensed Trio just released Volume 1, a collection of cover songs (including the Dead's "Peggy-O" and "Mexicali Blues"), as a free download on the band's website to help promote the project and tour.
"I'm every bit as proud of that as In the Wake, because they're total opposites," Mathis says. "One thing we spent a year on, and one thing we spent a night on, and they're both awesome."
Much like the Dead, Tea Leaf Green manages to avoid mimicking anyone else's sound, including their jam band forbears. "Space Hero IV," for example, sounds more like a lost track from a Rush album than a song recorded during the Wake of the Flood sessions.
"The band is taking chances. We're taking more risks," Mathis says. "It's amazing what we've come up with in just five years. I hope it translates to the audience, because onstage, it's incredible what we're experiencing."

text: 80-V 10A Power Stage EVM - The LMG1205 half-bridge EVM board is a small, easy to use, power stage with an external PWM signal. The EVM is suitable for evaluating the performance of the LMG1205 driving a GaN half-bridge in many different DC-DC converter topologies. It can be used to estimate the performance of the half-bridge to measure efficiency. The module is capable of delivering a maximum of 10A of current. However, adequate thermal management (forced air, running at low frequency etc) should be followed to ensure that the maximum operating temperature specification for the on-board components is not exceeded. The EVM is not suitable for transient measurements as it's an open loop board.

p 2174, description of PDF: "initiated by the above characters" change to "initiated by one fo the four characters above".
In addition to these comments, I have communicated directly to the editor a number of typos/rewordings which are purely editorial in nature and can probably be fixed without the need of ballot comments.

I feel like I should start with hello middle of October? I have been SO slack with this blog recently, and I feel a little disheartened about it all. To put it simply life gets busy sometimes and I have other things to be doing besides creating content for this blog, and its sad for myself of course but I don't want to force content that doesn't interest me or you guys.
So here I am, with a fresh mind and deciding to create a September Wrap-Up post when November isn't too far away, well that's how the cookie crumbles!
What went on in September then? To be honest I can't remember a great deal haha. The beginning of the month I spent a lot of time with Sam and enjoying as much of time we had left of our summer holiday, and we did. I took Sam to see the Jersey Boys musical in London for an early birthday surprise, and just generally hanging out with each other before university looms for the both of us.
Regarding books? Well I can't comment that it was a good month, because I felt like I read literally nothing. I did manage a few though…
Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
Othello by William Shakespeare
As you can see, not a great deal of reading this month. However, there's quite a variety. A graphic novel, a screenplay, crime fiction, and a play by one of the greatest playwrights. So y'know in terms of diversity I think I won in September, and I did enjoy reading these a lot. Othello was a university read, and I actually didn't feel like it was force read. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, but writing this first essay of the year from one of its passages, I'm not so enthusiastic about.
Well, all I can say is that my love of books runs in the family and after spending time with my Gran I ended up going through her bookshelves and bringing some of these back with me- eeek!
My two university books I have purchased are Othello and Oroonoko.
The rest are all pretty much crime thriller's, and I know my Gran only reads books she really enjoys otherwise she gives up so I can already recommend these books to you all!
Othello by William Shakespeare
Time of Death by Mark Billingham
Dangerous Promises by Roberta Kray
The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan
The Ripper Secret by Jack Steel
October for me is the start of another academic year with the Open University, and I am SO looking forward to studying this year. Two new modules and lots of interesting topics to keep my mind occupied, and like always I can only hope my enthusiasm and motivation remains intact!
Sam's birthday was at the beginning of the month too so I took myself up their for a visit, and I think he had a good day so that's the main thing! I bought him a new hoodie from H&M, the new Jungle Book on DVD, chocolate digestive balls, popping candy, a Lush 'intergalactic' bath bomb, popcorn, and a few jokey presents from Tiger (worm in the apple, an ostrich eraser, and magic beans). You probably all think I'm bizarre but we're easily entertained!
So I guess my plans for this month are to get ahead start with my studies, read more, and not over do things. I've also started my Christmas shopping…I know Halloween hasn't even arrived yet but I liked to be prepared and get my creative head on for some fun presents.
I would also really love to do some knitting, but I need to buy yarn and well I'm the poorest of them all currently.
I'm going to enjoy the cooler days, and the autumnal feels of making hot chocolate, lighting my wood fire in the lounge and cuddling up with a good book. Autumn seriously is the best season!
What are you all up to in October? I hope its a great one for you all. xxxxxxxxx
(I felt pretty today so here's me being vain)

Stonebridge Golf and Country Club in Boca Raton has, this week, achieved a major accomplishment by landing the prestigious Mazda Classic tournament.
The Classic became one of the most successful tournaments of the LPGA tour during its six years at the Deer Creek Country Club. As the season opener, the Classic consistently drew the top names in women`s golf which drew the top crowds.
With all this success, why move the tournament? According to Craig Perna, president of the Classic Sports Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the tournament, there are two major reasons for moving to Stonebridge. First is the opportunity to complete the triangle of pro golf tournaments in Palm Beach County. Currently, there is a PGA tournament at Boca West and a Senior Pro tournament at Boca Grove Plantation. Moving the Mazda Classic to Stonebridge completes the golf triangle.
The second motivating factor, Perna notes, is the impressive company Stonebridge will keep in Palm Beach county.
Set in the heart of the hottest country club location in the tri-county area, Stonebridge joins Bocaire, Boca West, St. Andrews, Boca Pointe and Boca Grove Plantation in offering an elegant, high-class golfing lifestyle.
This concentration of superior country club communities cannot be matched anywhere.
And finally, Stonebridge offers golf professionals a course designed specifically for tournament play. The results offer better crowd control and smoother play.
But why Stonebridge? What does it offer golfers and their fans and families?
Dick Jerman, project manager for Stonebridge, says simply "start with 400 acres of prime land along with 20 sculptured lakes and mix in the skills of Karl Litten, one of the finest golf course architects in South Florida. Then blend with a delicious Urban Design Studio residential site plan featuring prominent water and fairway views. While this is simmering, stir in a dollop of class with an elegantly understated clubhouse designed by the award winning firm of Schwab & Twitty. Add 350 custom-designed single-family homes and 49 estate-style villas, set in an exclusive enclave, all designed and built by nine of South Florida`s most talented builders.``

LAGOS, Nigeria -- A former Nigerian presidential adviser accused of diverting $2.2 billion meant to buy weapons to fight Boko Haram is challenging the government's right to put him on trial.
Retired Col. Sambo Dasuki, who was national security adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, asked the High Court Friday to discharge all charges against him because the government flouted court orders to release him on bail.
He said the charges cannot be lawfully prosecuted by a government in brazen disobedience of the court's order.
Dasuki has been detained for nearly two months. President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed him for deaths and abductions of civilians because soldiers were not adequately equipped to fight the Islamic extremists. He said his government wouldn't allow Dasuki to jump bail.
The case has been adjourned until Feb. 4.

AceShowbiz - Joe Jonas has been linked to such beauties as Taylor Swift, Camilla Belle and Demi Lovato in the past years. During those years, he was mostly described as the bad guy by tabloid and press which picked up their breakups, but he himself didn't talk much about the relationships. Now, he's ready to tell his side of story.
In an interview with Details magazine where he graces the cover of its latest issue, Joe said he will address what he's been going through in his upcoming solo studio album. The pop singer who is currently dating Ashley Greene said, "I think all artists have a right to write about what happens to them. I have a right to write about things, too."
The middle of the Jonas Brothers further said, "[I will talk about] different love scenarios that I've been through, breakups, hurts. Me hurting somebody and feeling bad about it. I think there's a lot of scenarios where people might wanna hear my side of the story."
"I'm growing up, the fans are growing up. I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven't really been able to tell. When you're writing with three people, you wind up with a sound that might be - not average - but, you know, expected."
Of his vision about how he wants the album to sound like, Joe dished on, "I wanted to do something you could hear in a club or something you could dance to, something that's fun - something that's me." He eyes Kanye West, Drake and Nicki Minaj as his featured guests.
Talking about Jonas Brothers, he assured fans they don't break up, "We're just taking a break. I really have a hope for the fans that got older and went, 'You know what, I'm really not into the Jonas Brothers anymore,' that I'm able to catch their ear again with my project and they're able to go like, 'Hey, this is cool stuff, I'm happy listening to this, I'm not embarrassed listening to this'."


text: Affine flag manifolds are infinite dimensional versions of familiar objects such as Graßmann varieties. The book features lecture notes, survey articles, and research notes - based on workshops held in Berlin, Essen, and Madrid - explaining the significance of these and related objects (such as double affine Hecke algebras and affine Springer fibers) in representation theory (e.g., the theory of symmetric polynomials), arithmetic geometry (e.g., the fundamental lemma in the Langlands program), and algebraic geometry (e.g., affine flag manifolds as parameter spaces for principal bundles). Novel aspects of the theory of principal bundles on algebraic varieties are also studied in the book.

There have been many technology changes recently and many significant market shifts in the way information is consumed. As we get ready for 2013, a few buzz-words to research and things to think about:
WordPress, the standard in Content Management
WordPress has absolutely dominated the market in recent years. Not only does it have hundreds of thousands of developers and millions of users, it is the most search engine friendly platform with lots of social capabilities. Statistic: 25% of all new websites developed in 2011 were built on WordPress which is now responsible for 15% of the top 1M sites in the entire world (Check out this infographic by Yoast)
Mobile Trends
With over 13% of all Internet Traffic from Mobile devices and as much as 50% or more of Restaurant/Tourism traffic from Mobile Devices and Tablets it is clear that having a mobile friendly web presence is critical for doing business in 2013 some of the major factors include migrating away from Flash which is not supported on iOS devices and having a mobile friendly design. Visit this link https://www.servicemax.com/cp/work-order-dispatch-software for more information.
Converting from Flash to HTML5
Here is an article by Adobe, the owner of Flash technology, disclosing they are moving away from their own product: http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html The good news is, we can do almost everything even sexier in HTML5/jQuery as we could in Flash.
Responsive Design
This is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation (Learn more about Responsive Design: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/01/12/guidelines-for-responsive-web-design/ )
Social Sharing
Having social media integration on your website is now as crucial as having basic navigation. Although the practice of including social media links on your website is anything but new, designers have recently begun to devise more thoughtful ways of integrating social media into a website's design, giving these channels prominence instead of just relegating them to the footer. Even if you do not focus on social marketing you MUST make your content easy to share. By simply adding social sharing options for your visitors it will help increase your marketing reach and your SEO ranking (Here is a great article on the importance of Social Sharing as it impacts SEO: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/06/28/content-creators-benefit-from-new-seo/ )
Conversion Optimization
As a bonus, we recommend learning about CRO as soon the focus will shift from more visitors to your website to better converting the visitors you currently have! Here is a great article on Conversion Optimization.
Too much to absorb?
Dont panic! We are here for you and are ready to ensure that your refreshed website takes advantage of all the above best practices. Contact us today! Looking forward to taking the next step in a more optimized 2013!

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia`s Prime Minister said on Sunday that an agreement had been reached with separatists in Ukraine to give international police access to the site where a Malaysian plane was downed and enable investigators to determine why the aircraft crashed.
A statement issued by Najib Razak`s office said the agreement with separatist leader Aleksander Borodai would "provide protection for international crash investigators" to recover human remains and ascertain the cause of the crash.
"I hope that this agreement with Mr Borodai will ensure security on the ground so the international investigators can conduct their work," Najib said in the statement.

Maxta makes MxSP HCI software version perpetually free
Software-only hyper-converged startup Maxta today formally unveiled a free perpetual license option for its MxSP software, following a registration drive launched during VMworld 2016.
MxSP is hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) software designed to run on commonly used server hardware. Maxta said customers can download a free production license of its HCI software to implement a maximum three-node cluster with up to 24 TB of raw storage.
The "freemium" model gives enterprises a perpetual MxSP license that can be upgraded to a paid support contract with more storage. Customers choosing the no-cost download can get advice and self-help resources via on online community forum sponsored by Maxta.
Most hyper-converged vendors package their HCI software on branded appliances that consolidate computing resources, networking, storage and virtualization tools within a single piece of hardware. Maxta, on the other hand, licenses MxSP as a virtual storage appliance that pools storage on x86 servers. Maxta server resellers also prepackage MxSP on commodity storage servers as part of its MaxDeploy reference architecture.
MxSP is licensed on a per-server basis based on dual-socket or quad-socket servers. Maxta does not charge customers by processors, server class or by storage capacity. As is typical of hyper-converged vendors, Maxta deployments start at a minimum of three nodes. Maxta requires each server node to have at least one solid-state drive with 100 GB of available capacity, plus two 300-GB hard disk drives.
Maxta vice president of marketing Mitch Seigle said making the HCI software available as a free offering removes some barriers that discourage enterprises from hyper-converging resources.
"We are enabling them to stand up an HCI cluster using hardware they typically already have available in house, at no cost. They can evaluate and test it in their environment on their schedule, without the constraint of trial 'time bombs' or limited functionality," Seigle said.
As an example, Seigle said an enterprise could test an MxSP test cluster with the free version, and subsequently take it directly into production by upgrading to a paid support contract and unlimited storage. Each node added to the existing cluster requires a paid license for MxSP HCI software, which includes 12 months of Maxta support.
Giving customers a free perpetual HCI software license is an attempt by Maxta to boost brand recognition, particularly as a way to emphasize how its HDI differs from appliance-based products. Maxta did not disclose how many paying customers it has, but Seigle said "hundreds of users" have registered to download the free version since its launch Aug. 29.
Spectra BlackPearl line grows family, archive customer base
Spectra Logic is extending its BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway line upwards and downwards. The tape vendor has added an entry-level model and a much larger offering that more than triples the number of LTO drives the original product could manage.
Spectra BlackPearl appliances, originally introduced in 2013, offer a direct interface from any workflow into an active archive, providing access to nearline storage, tape and cloud. The new additions are the BlackPearl V Series and BlackPearl P Series.
The V Series can store 300 million objects and transfer data at up to 300 MBps sustained to disk or tape, while the P Series can store more than 1 billion objects, transfer up to 3 GBps sustained to disk or tape, and manage more than 20 LTO-7 tape drives.
Those new products join the previously available BlackPearl S Series, which can transfer data at up to 800 MBps to disk or tape.
The V Series could fit well in a small post-production house that works on a job-by-job basis, perhaps doing color correction, said Spectra CTO Matt Starr.
"They're not retrieving hundreds of terabytes per day," Starr said.
The P Series is for large organizations. A typical customer might have 20 or 30 Avid edit stations running every day and hit the archives more often. The P Series is up to four times faster than the original product.
The goal of Spectra BlackPearl was to open tape up to places where the medium was rarely used or usage has greatly expanded because of recent trends. Starr pointed to data from body cameras as an example – police departments may need that footage for a month if it is not required as evidence, but may need to retain it much longer if it is.
Starr doesn't anticipate adding a fourth unit, as he said the three types of Spectra BlackPearl appliances cover the market well.
The V Series starts at $12,000, plus a yearly maintenance fee. The P Series list price is between $80,000 and $90,000, depending on the configuration. The original S Series starts at $33,000.
IDC: Total worldwide storage systems revenue remained flat in Q2
Research firm IDC reports factory revenues for worldwide purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) experienced solid growth in the second quarter while enterprise storage systems revenue remained flat during that same period.
Factory revenues for worldwide purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) grew 11.5% year over year in second quarter to $871 million, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Purpose-Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) Tracker. Most of that growth came from open systems, which increased 12% to $788 million. The rest of the revenue came from backup systems for mainframes.
"After three consecutive quarters of year-over-year decline, mainframe systems revenue was up by 6.2 percent from a year ago," according to the PBBA tracker report. "Total worldwide PBBA capacity shipped for Q2 2016 reached one exabyte, an increase of 35.3 percent from Q2 2015."
EMC held on to its lead in the overall PBBA market, with $538 million and 62% revenue share. Veritas came in second at 13% with $116 million in revenues. IBM ranked third with $49 million (six percent) and HPE fourth with $32 million (four percent). Dell came in fifth with 3 percent market share and $25 million in revenues.
The overall picture was different for worldwide enterprise storage systems factory revenue as it posted zero year-over-year growth in the second quarter with about $9 billion in revenues, according to IDC's worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker. External storage systems still is the largest market but the $6 billion in sales represented flat year-over-year growth
However, total capacity shipments were up by about 13% year over year to 35 exabytes. Sales of server-based storage also were up at 10% during the quarter and accounted for almost $2.4 billion in revenue.
EMC and HPE came in at a statistical tie for the total worldwide enterprise storage systems market, accounting for 18% and 17.6% market share, respectively. (IDC considers anything less than a percentage point apart a statistical tie). EMC's revenue dropped 5.5 percent to $1.599 million, while HPE's business grew almost 9 percent and generated $ 1.556 million in revenue.
Dell came in third with 11% market share and increased its business by 14% year over year, generating 1 million in revenue, while IBM had 7 percent market share and lost 16 percent in year-over-year revenue, generating $600 million in overall storage revenue. NetApp came in fourth, showing a 3.2 percent decline in year-over-year in overall storage revenue growth with $595 million in revenues.
"As a single group, storage system sales by original design manufacturers, selling directly to hyperscale data center customers accounted for $9 percent of global spending during the quarter," the report stated.
EMC was the largest external enterprise storage system supplier, accounting for 28% of worldwide revenues. All of EMC's revenue came from external (networked) storage.
HPE and NetApp were tied for tmarket share. HPE had 10.6% share and $602 million in sales. NetApp captured 10. 5% of the worldwide market share and generated $6 million in sale.
IBM'S revenue declined about nine percent since last year and it stood fourth with $538 million, followed by Hitachi at $419 million and Dell at $395 million. Hitachi revenue grew 15% and Dell increased 10% year over year.
StorageCraft buys backup analytics from GillwareStorage
StorageCraft will use its new analytics technology to tell its customers to stop backing up certain data.
That's right, the data protection vendor wants its customers to back up less. And StorageCraft's acquisition of Gillware Online Backup from Gillware Data Services this week will help it do that.
StorageCraft's flagship ShadowProtect SPX software backs up virtual and physical Microsoft Windows and Linux servers. It also sells Cloud Services replication software, GranularRecovery software for Exchange, and management and monitoring software.
The key piece of Gillware Online Backup is Backup Analyzer. The application can look at all of a customer's files, suggest those that have not been backed up and which files may not need to be backed up.
StorageCraft CEO Matt Medeiros said Backup Analyzer technology will optimize ShadowProtect backups, and he expects the Gillware development team to expand its current technology.
"Knowing what you should back up can be difficult," Medeiros said. "Backup Analyzer helps customers determine high, medium and low priority for backups. Now we can help customers intelligently tier their data.
"The storage industry wants you to believe that all data is equal. It's not. Some companies are finding that 50 percent of their data is not even of value to the business anymore. Yet we back it up, buy more storage for it, and pay people to manage it."
Draper, Utah-based StorageCraft sells its software through managed service providers and VARs.
The Gillware Online Backup team consists of around 30 people, mainly engineers. The acquisition brings StorageCraft's total headcount to a bit over 350, Medeiros said. The Gillware team will stay in Madison, Wisconsin.
Gillware Data Services already resells StorageCraft software, and that partnership will continue.
StorageCraft did not disclose the sale price, but part of the $187 million equity investment that TA Associates made in StorageCraft in January will fund the deal. Medeiros joined StorageCraft from Dell SonicWall at the time of the TA Associates funding.
Zetta cloud storage now offers recovery in less than five minutes
Zetta unveiled the latest version of its disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) that promises data recovery in less than five minutes.
The company initially launched its DRaaS back in May 2015 to protect virtual and physical servers in the cloud. The Zetta cloud DRaaS service does not require a local appliance and allows managed service providers (MSPs) and companies to run a virtualized native network in the cloud.
Mike Grossman, Zetta's CEO, said the latest version includes upgrades that customers have asked for since the service was initally introduced. The latest version also includes failback, automated disaster recovery testing that encompasses both backup confirmation and "bootable" servers in the cloud, and active directory integration.
"We really feel like we have learned what customers need," said Grossman. "A lot of key pieces needed to be built. We've been focusing on all these things in the last year."
Also, Zetta cloud storage built in a preconfiguration capabitilty for network, VPN and firewall configuration at the time of onboarding to the cloud. Zetta does up-front configuration of the network, firewall, VPN connectivity. The offering is priced on a monthly, per-gigabyte storage cost and the amount of RAM used.
"We are a cloud company and there are complications in network configurations," said Grossman. "There are network configuration nuances that we have to deal with that application vendors do not. We found out that a lot of vendors don't complete the set. Now, we are dealing with it upfront.
Zetta's cloud DRaaS, which targets MSPs and enterprise businesses, can protect at least 100 physical or virtual servers. The DR as a service offering has built-in WAN optimization that moves up to 5 TB of data in 24 hours for backup and recovery. It's also optimized for data sets that are up to 500 TB.
Zetta cloud DRaaS supports multiple servers, applications, native networks and heterogeneous operating system platforms. It can boot physical and virtual systems in the cloud via a virtual private network or Remote Desktop Protocol connection. It can replicate native file systems and map a local drive in the cloud to recover individual files or entire server images.
Grossman said they target small-to-medium enterprises and partners and they offer a "no-data corruption" guarantee. The management portal allows for fast configuration and a software agent does efficient and resilient transport to and from the cloud. It offers standards-based, stateless architecture, along with the ability to manage multi-tenant storage.
Kaminario plans to add Clarity for K2 flash arraysKaminario
Kaminario is getting into cloud-based storage analytics with Clarity, which helps manage and monitor its K2 all-flash arrays.
Kaminario Clarity will be available to any K2 customer. Kaminario has a target of the first quarter of 2017 for delivering Clarity.
Kaminario Clarity features include a quality of service that lets customers set service levels for specific types of workloads. For instance, the K2 array could prioritize small reads and writes over large ones in a transactional database to match usage patterns.
Clarity will also include a new portal customers can use to see insights into K2 performance, as well as suggestions to improve performance and capacity.
Josh Epstein, Kaminario VP of global marketing, said a future step will be to automate the service levels for applications. Kaminario intends to add Clarity agents that will integrate into specific applications, such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases. The agents will provide more granular metrics for those applications.
"We're gathering statistics about the K2 and the storage ecosystem – databases, servers, networking – and providing analytics, trends and insights from across our installed base," he said. "The analytics tell customers how to configure and optimize their storage infrastructure."
Kaminario Clarity continues the trend of vendors providing tools that collect data from storage arrays, upload it to clouds and provide analytics reports from customers. Other cloud-based analytics include Nimble Storage Nimble InfoSight, PureStorage Pure1 Cloud Global Insight, EMC Unity CloudIQ, HPE StoreFront Remote, IBM Spectrum Control Storage Insights, and Tintri Analytics. These tools are gaining popularity with newer array models, specifically those incorporating flash.
New SNIA Swordfish spec targets hyperscale, cloud environments
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) released Swordfish, a new specification that could ease the management of storage equipment and data services in converged, hyper-converged, hyperscale and cloud environments.
The SNIA Storage Management Initiative's Swordfish 1.0 specification aims to simplify the provisioning, monitoring and management of block, file and object storage.
For instance, the Swordfish application programming interface (API) can associate different classes of service with storage gear of varying performance levels. An IT administrator would need only to specify the class of service to allocate storage to servers and virtual machines (VMs), rather than having to specify details on the most suitable storage array.
So far, the SNIA Swordfish specification offers extensive functionality only for block and file storage. Capabilities include the provisioning with class of service as well as replication and capacity and health metrics. Object storage support is on the Swordfish roadmap.
SNIA's Swordfish is an extension of the server-focused Redfish API protocol and schema released about a year ago by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). Swordfish uses the same RESTful interface over HTTPS, the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format and the Open Data Protocol (OData).
"One of the reasons SNIA's so interested in doing Swordfish as an extension of Redfish is that this is an industry play to wind up with a unified approach for server, storage and fabric management," said Don Deel, chair of SNIA's SMI governing board and NetApp's senior standard technology.
Swordfish can work across a variety of storage network fabrics including Fibre Channel, Ethernet, SAS and PCI Express (PCIe), according to Deel.
Swordfish will eventually replace SNIA's Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) and possibly overcome SMI-S limitations. Deel said SMI-S is an "equipment-oriented" standard that exposes what the storage gear can do. By contrast, Swordfish is a "customer-centric interface" that focuses on use cases for "what IT administrators need to do with storage in a data center on a day-to-day basis," Deel said.
"SMI-S has a ton of functionality but it does not scale well. That is a key for plugging and playing into all of these new models," said Richelle Ahlvers, chair of SNIA's SSM Technical Work Group and principal storage management architect at Broadcom.
Ahlvers said the tech industry has been shifting to REST-based interfaces. SNIA partners wanted to see standards updated with a more modern interface that could play in all environments, including the emerging hyperscale and cloud scenarios. They also wanted storage management APIs that are simpler to implement and consume and accessible via a standard browser, she said.
"SMI-S and other standards, even on the server side, have been very complicated. It's a high learning curve," Ahlvers said
SNIA's Scalable Storage Management (SSM) Technical Work Group formed last October to scope out the Swordfish project and drew up a charter in December. Broadcom, Dell, EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Inova, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, Nimble Storage, and VMware are among vendors that played key roles in developing Swordfish.
The SNIA Swordfish specification is publicly available for implementation. Ahlvers said anyone with a Redfish implementation could tack on Swordfish within a few months, but those starting from scratch would need to do more work. She expects to see products and early implementations start to show up in the middle of next year.
"The key here is really going to be the client drivers," said Ahlvers, noting the work of Intel, Microsoft and VMware. "Between those three, that's going to be helping to pull the vendors to add support for Swordfish."
SNIA Swordfish team members and industry experts are presenting details on the new specification at this week's Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara, California.
Nutanix IPO looks like a goStorage
Nutanix took the last step before completing its initial public offering today when it set the target price range for its offering.
Nutanix filed an S-1 registration form with the Securities and Exchange Commission detailing plans to sell 14 million shares of Class A stock for between $11 and $13 per share. The hyper-converged market leader seeks to raise $209 million through the IPO. A Nutanix IPO price of $13 would make the company worth $1.8 billion. That falls below its $2 billion valuation at the time of its last funding round in 2015.
Nutanix first filed to go public last December, but the Nutanix IPO was stalled by a slow IPO market. There has only been a handful of tech IPOs in 2016.
One of Nutanix's founders and its original CTO, Mohit Aron, said Nutanix executives and its investors likely were scared off by the poor IPO market. He said the current IPO market is less forgiving of a company still losing money despite strong revenue growth. Aron holds 10.7 million shares of shares of Nutanix common stock but no longer works for the vendor.
"Investors used to look at growth in past years," Aron said. "This year, investor sentiment has turned and they've started looking for investors have started looking for profitability. Maybe Nutanix thought it would show a reduction in losses — which they've been showing — so investors would be more lenient towards looking at them."
Aron said he expects Nutanix will do well in the long term. "Eventually, it's about a technology that is ground-breaking, solves a real problem and customers are adopting it," he said. "The technology makes sense. I see hyper-convergence getting adopted every day for primary and secondary storage. Markets go through temporary ups and downs. I think companies will do well when they have strong fundamentals."
Aron calls Nutanix's hyper-converged technology "my baby," although he left in 2013 to start secondary data hyper-converged vendor Cohesity.
Nutanix investors will need patience if they want to see profit. In an SEC filing last week, Nutanix declared "we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future."
The company has lost a total of $442 million during its history, including losses of $84 million, $126 million and $169 million in the last three fiscal years. Nutanix lost $50 million last quarter after losing $49 million the previous quarter.
Those losses came despite impressive revenue growth. Its revenue increased 84% year-over-year to $445 million during the last fiscal year, which ended July 31. For the quarter that ended July 31, it reported $140 million in revenue – a 22% increase over the same quarter last year – and has $255 million of revenue in the first two quarters of this calendar year. Most of Nutanix's expenses come from sales and marketing — $288 million of its $439 million in expenses last fiscal year and $88 million of its $133 million in the last quarter came from sales and marketing.
The Nutanix IPO filing indicated no plans to decrease that spending. Nutanix claimed: "We intend to grow our base of 3,768 end-customers, which we believe represents a small portion of our potential end-customer base, by increasing our investment in sales and marketing, leveraging our network of channel partners and furthering our international expansion. One area of specific focus will be on expanding our position within the Global 2000, where we currently have approximately 310 end-customers."
Aron said Nutanix needs to pursue a growth strategy if it is to hold off competitors such as Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Cisco. That includes research and development as well as sales and marketing. Nutanix is expanding its technology to become a platform of choice for companies looking to build internal enterprise clouds.
"I think we all know no company can just rest on its laurels and milk a technology for a while," Aron said. "Others catch up eventually. You have to keep innovating.
"I think if they want to become profitable, they can do it next year. If a company wants to, it can put a complete break on growth, but what's the point of profitability if you're not growing? So there's a healthy balance a company has to juggle."
Veritas: Dell EMC's no marriage made in heavenData protection, Veritas
LAS VEGAS — In the pre-Symantec days when Veritas was an independent storage software company, its executives frequently bashed their primary competitor EMC. That rhetoric cooled after Symantec bought Veritas, and the chief EMC bashers (including current Dell EMC CMO Jeremy Burton) left Symantec.
With Veritas Technologies on its own again, its executives have resumed public attacks on EMC along with its new owner Dell. Veritas Vision in Las Vegas this week was filled with snarky pokes at both principals in the newly formed Dell EMC.
During a keynote given by Veritas CMO Lynn Lucas at the first Veritas Vision user conference in more than a decade, the company flashed a question for customers to ponder: "What is worse than a lifetime of hardware with EMC? An eternity in Dell."
Veritas also took out an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, stating "There is a special place in Dell for hardware."
Mike Palmer, Veritas' senior vice president and general manager of solutions for data insight and orchestration, said during his keynote address Tuesday that companies like EMC's and Dell's historical agenda was to sell more hardware in a world that is becoming more focused on software defined storage. Even when EMC acquired the successful VMware virtualization company, it "kept you in a walled garden of the VMware ecosystem."
Palmer even compared EMC to convicted Los Angeles drug dealer Rick "Freeway" Ross.
"This is a guy that knew more about product lock-in than anyone. … He bought houses to store his cash," Palmer said. "Rick Ross went to jail. Today, he sells T-shirts. EMC went to Hell, I mean to Dell."
Palmer also took a swipe at Dell EMC's Data Domain deduplication storage hardware, saying that for customers it's like a 30-year-old kid living in the basement.
"He's never moving out," he said, while a bloated, man sitting on a sofa couch appeared on the screen.
In focusing on the Dell and EMC merger, Veritas tried to revive its own historical roots as a "no hardware agenda" that was its primary message before it was acquired by Symantec 10 years ago for $13.5 billion. On Aug. 2015 Symantec announced the sale of its Veritas information management business to The Carlyle Group. Veritas and Symantec achieved operational separation last Oct. 1, and the sale closed Jan. 30 when Veritas became a privately held company.
"Veritas is making the assumption that EMC separately or together with Dell cannot get away from their (hardware) past," said Arun Taneja, founder of the Taneja Group storage consulting firm. "Veritas recognizes that they were considered a has-been company. They have been missing in action (under the Symantec ownership). So they needed to do something that was in-your-face and edgy. It's their way of saying, 'I'm back and you are going to pay attention to me.'
"The way to do that was to poke fun at the 800-pound gorilla. It was a gutsy choice."
Taneja said Dell's and EMC's revenues still rely primarily on hardware. VMware, which gave EMC a beachhead in the virtualization software space, is also owned by Dell.
"Now with the merger, (Dell and EMC) have so many issues that this is the time for a pure software company, which is what Veritas has been from the beginning," Taneja said. "Now, if they can pull it off, they will be back in the game. If they can't, it will be a sad ending to the company."
IDrive cloud introduces 'private' property
Backup vendor IDrive has added the private cloud to its repertoire, allowing customers to keep backup data on premises as well as in the public cloud.
The IDrive Private Cloud appliance features 6 TB of on-premises backup with the ability to access and manage from anywhere. The product also includes 6 TB of IDrive cloud backup space. The IDrive Private Cloud software is the same as the vendor's public cloud software.
"The best part of the whole thing is it's the exact same IDrive Client as the public cloud," IDrive CEO Raghu Kulkarni said. "There's no learning curve [for current IDrive public cloud users]."
Kulkarni said IDrive users and partners often requested a private cloud option. Businesses also wanted to store data locally and be able to access it through the cloud.
The IDrive software backs up data from multiple computers locally to the IDrive server. Data is encrypted in transit and in storage, with AES 256-bit encryption and an optional private key. The software protects servers and individual files.
Backing up the data locally makes for faster restores than from a public cloud. Users can access data from anywhere online, according to the vendor. The product scales to hundreds of terabytes and can handle an unlimited number of users. Its dashboard can manage the backup of hundreds of users, and monitor reporting and data usage.
The client for the IDrive cloud can restore 10 previous versions of backed up files from an account. It also combines backups from multiple devices — PCs, Macs and mobile — into a single account.
The IDrive Private Cloud brings enterprise-level functionality to small businesses and some medium-sized companies, Kulkarni said.
IDrive claims 3 million users of its public cloud. Small businesses make up 30-40% of that figure, Kulkarni said.
Since the software is the same, any improvement IDrive cloud makes to its public option will be available almost immediately for the private product as well.
Pricing for IDrive Private Cloud starts at an introductory rate of $1,000 for the first year for the 6 TB appliance with 6 TB of cloud backup space. Regular pricing is $2,000 per year. More space is available upon request.

Traditionally, bridging loans have provided a solution in the broken residential chain. Bridging finance enables someone to purchase one property before they complete on the sale of another.
So when a buyer for the borrowers property pulls out, they could opt to take out a loan against an existing property (as long as it is not the borrower's home) to allow them to complete on the purchase of their new home.
Bridging can also be used where the property in question is unsuitable for mainstream mortgage purposes, where a mortgage offer may have been withdrawn, or where there is a time constraint such as buying at an auction.
In recent times, the credit crunch and subsequent recession has changed the financial landscape considerably. A dramatic fall in mortgage approvals and LTV ratios has meant even quality borrowers have experienced difficulties in securing finance.
As the mortgage market has stagnated, the role of bridging finance lenders has become increasingly important as a mechanism for getting deals done.
Specialist short term lenders can often be distinguished from their high street counterparts because they tend to be more flexible in their approach meaning they will look far more closely at a borrower's circumstances rather than simply applying computer generated credit scoring techniques. Each bridging loan is assessed on its own merits to determine whether it's a sensible course of action from the perspective of both the borrower and the lender. If the deal makes sense, bridging lenders will do their best to make the funds available as quickly as possible, often within days.

The state of Alabama recently took a step towards righting one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice ever perpetrated in this country, issuing posthumous pardons to three members of the "Scottsboro Boys," who were wrongly accused in 1931 of raping two white women on a train. Eight of the nine charged were swiftly convicted and sentenced to death by an all-white jury, with a mistrial being declared for the ninth, 13-year-old Roy Wright.
A lengthy legal battle ensured, and the case has been called one of the major precursors to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The defendants served varying prison sentences but all were eventually paroled, pardoned or freed. The last defendant died in 1989. The judicial rulings were varied and complicated, but activists have long pushed for all of them to be pardoned. Some of them were ineligible for pardons because their convictions had been overturned in ensuing years.
No matter the detailed legal maneuvering, Alabama's move was long overdue, and the fact that their lives were ruined will not change. Though it is a small measure, one Alabama judge commented, "It's largely … symbolic, but it's better late than never." It is also a reminder of all the racial injustices which were once so common not only in the South, but across the nation.
