KRQE News 13
By Kim Vallez and Kayla Root
July 1, 2016
"You are so use to being told what to do, where to be at all times, then thrown into civilian world where you have to compete again with everyone, not given answers everything a gray area, very difficult for me." Trevor HilemanALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A New Mexico veteran is getting some big help getting back on his feet.
On Thursday, Army veteran Trevor Hileman was handed the keys to a new home, thanks to Bank of America and the Military Warriors Support Foundation.
The program from Bank of America and the Military Warriors Foundation fixes up foreclosed homes and gives them to veterans.
A path of flags lead the way for Hileman to his new mortgage free home on Thursday. Inside the home, there were pictures on the wall of Sergeant Hileman during his time in the Army. He served one tour of duty in Afghanistan.
But transitioning to civilian life has been tough.

Kicking and Punting are very intricate skills and require incredible attention to detail! Many relate kicking motions to the golf swing and there are very close similarities. However, kicking and punting involve full body movements which make these skills even more difficult to master than even golf! So, we've come up with a very unique analogy to relate a different sport most comparable to the way we believe kicking and punting really are! Learn how we use the mechanics of "Horse Polo" to teach proper kicking and punting fundamentals!
Having experienced playing at the highest level of football for 9 years and being chosen to play in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, I know first hand what it takes to be an All Pro Kicker in the NFL! I have learned the proper fundamentals from my long time mentor, and senior ProForm Kicking Academy Coach, Jim Gaetano. Coach Gaetano and I have also helped develop NFL athletes like kicker Nick Novak of the San Diego Chargers and All Pro Punter Brian Moorman of the Buffalo Bills, as well as a number of AFL and Division 1 college level kickers and punters!
Here at ProForm Kicking, we are extremely detailed in our technique philosophies and we are very prideful in the success we've had, not only with our personal achievements, but our coaching as well! We take on a much different approach to the "common sense" type of kicking as we focus on a process which allows the athlete to take advantage of 100% of their body kicking the ball, which ultimately leads to more power and consistency using a much more "smooth" technique! There are hundreds of kicking and punting instructional videos on the market today, developed by a variety of athletes who have played at various levels of football. Because of the level of personal kicking and coaching success, and our different philosophies, ProForm Kicking Academy offers a variety of video clips that are unlike any others out there! Learn the most productive and efficient way to kick and punt, with "Pro" Form Kicking!

Mike Hollis Owner/Coach at ProForm Kicking Academy Follow
9 Year NFL Veteran Kicker and All-Pro. Coach Mike Hollis began his kicking career back in 1985 serving as the kicker on his junior high school football team and continuing throughout high school, college and eventually the NFL. After high school, Coach Hollis chose to play at the community college level and eventually walked on at the University of Idaho (Division 1-AA). He began his professional career in 1994 with the San Diego Chargers (pre-season only) and retired in 2003, spending 7 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 year with the Buffalo Bills, and 1 year with the New York Giants. During that time Coach Hollis:
Mike presently holds some very impressive rankings in NFL history. He is in the top 5 of highest percentages in field goals over 50 yards (13/19, 68.4%); top 10 in accuracy over 40+ yard field goals (63/92, 68.5%); top 5 in field goal accuracy in the playoffs (16/18, 88.8%); and top 20 in overall field goal accuracy (80.0%). Throughout his career, Mike has been in the presence of many legendary kickers and punters. He has learned from these individuals and even worked with a number of them as well. Bryan Barker (Punter, Pro Bowl '98, 16 years, retired), Chris Hanson (Punter, Pro Bowl '02, 11 years, retired), Brian Moorman (Punter, 2 time Pro Bowler '06, '07, 14 years, active), Jeff Feagles (Punter, Pro Bowl '09, 22 years retired), Todd Peterson (Kicker, 12 years, retired), John Carney (Kicker, Pro Bowl '95 & '09, 21 years, retired), Darren Bennett (Punter, 2 time Pro Bowler '96 & '00, 11 years, retired), Joe Zelenka (Snapper, 11 years, retired), and David Binn (Snapper, San Diego, 17 years, retired), are just a few of the very successful specialists that Mike has worked with. Mike has created the reputation among many NFL kickers and coaches as having one of the most efficient and smooth kicking forms during his career.

At this moment, multiple sclerosis cannot be cured. Sure, various treatments show promise for slowing the progression of this chronic neurological condition. Various experts claim some medications can minimize the frequency of MS exacerbations, flare-ups, and relapses (which may or may not all be the same thing, depending upon whom you ask).
But a total remedy, which stops MS in its tracks, is not yet available. Also, no current solution seems to be able to reverse existing damage from this disease. Brain and spinal lesions are likely to linger, at least until someone comes up with a way to treat them.
No one even seems to be able to pinpoint exactly what causes MS. Theories abound – from childhood illnesses to head injuries to circulatory system issues to rogue viruses to autoimmune problems to genetics to diet and nutrition to all sorts of other possibilities.
Still, science marches on.
That's where the zooming comes in.
Medical research is showing tremendous promise for answering multiple sclerosis and other yet-incurable diseases. Do we dare hope the MS MonSter may be crushed during our lifetimes? Maybe someday, multiple sclerosis will be ancient history.

Chiari Malformation & EDS
This article is written for both patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), healthcare professionals, and the general public. It describes the nature of type 1 Chiari malformation, the symptoms that can be associated with it, what we currently understand about the association with EDS, how it is identified, and the treatment options. This article does not discuss cranio-cervical or cervical instability.
What is a Chiari malformation?
In some people the lower part of the brain can sit much lower than normal so that it is below the entrance to the skull. This is called a Chiari malformation (CM). It may cause no problem at all, however in this position it can put pressure on the lowest part of the brain and the top of the spinal cord and cause symptoms.
There are 3 types of CM. Type 1 CM is the most common and the least serious form of the condition. In type 1 CM the lowest part of the back of the brain called the cerebellar tonsils is found to lie at the top of the spinal canal rather than the normal position inside the base of the skull. There may also be tethering of the spinal cord. Here the cord has become abnormally attached within the spine and is less free to move with movement of the spine. There occasionally may also be a syrinx – a fluid filled cavity in the spinal cord or brain stem.
Type 2 and 3 CM are less common. They are more serious. They are associated with a condition called spina bifida, a birth defect of spine development, and a condition called hydrocephalus that describes a build-up of fluid in the brain.
This article focuses on type 1 CM. To read more about CM in general take a look at the NHS page by clicking HERE, or the National Institutes of Health page HERE.
What are the symptoms?
Many people with a type 1 CM will not have any symptoms, or do not develop symptoms until later in life.
The symptoms include:
- headaches, usually at the back of the head – these are brought on, or made worse by, exercise, straining, laughing or bending over
- neck pain
- dizziness and balance problems
- numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
- blurred vision and involuntary movement of the eyes (nystagmus)
- swallowing problems
- hearing loss and ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- feeling sick and vomiting
The difficulty with many of theses symptoms is that they might also come from a combination other musculoskeletal problems, migraine, cardiovascular autonomic problems (e.g. POTS and hypotension (read more)), and gastric problems (read more). A detailed assessment by a doctor is required to determine how all the symptoms might fit together.
How common is Type 1 CM in the General Population?
The National Institute for Neurological Disorders and National Institutes of Health state that type 1 CM is said to occur in about 1 in 1000 people. However they recognize that the overall frequency is difficult to know given that CM is often asymptomatic and found incidentally in people having CT or MRI scans for another reason.
Is Type 1 CM more common in neck pain suffers than in the General Population?
We do not know the answer to this question.
In 2010 Freeman and colleagues published a paper describing the study of 1200 individuals with neck pain (Reference 1). Half of them were people with neck pain symptoms but with no recent history of trauma; the other half was made up of people with neck symptoms caused by vehicle-related accidents (whiplash). Everyone had an MRI. The researchers found that in the first group (the non-trauma control group) around 5% of people had a type 1 CM. In the second group (the symptomatic trauma group) the researchers found that around 10-20% had a type 1 CM. This study suggests that around 1 in 10 people with neck pain might be shown to have a CM, though how this affects their symptoms and recovery is not clear.
So, is CM more common in neck pain suffers than non-neck pain suffers?
To try and find the answer to this question one would have to scan a large general population that included people with and without neck pain to see if there was any difference between them.
Is CM more common in people with EDS than in the general population?
Again, we do not know the answer to this question. To attempt to answer this question one would have to study a large number of patients with EDS and compare them with a population that did not have EDS.
However, there is some evidence to suggest that the cause of a CM in EDS may be different. There is one published large study that has looked at the association between type 1 CM and EDS. This was undertaken by Milhorat and colleagues at The Chiari Institute, New York, USA (Reference 2). They looked at 2813 patients with a known diagnosis of type 1 CM. They found that 357 (12-13%) had features of EDS.
The researching team noted that the mechanisms that may cause EDS to become symptomatic in the presence of CM could be:
i. Sliding of tissues down from their normal resting position when in the upright position, and or
ii.. Hypermobility at in the vertebral bones at the very top of the neck, leading to changes in the position / angle of these bones when upright.
This is a helpful insight in to the type of imaging that should be considered when assessing EDS patients (see below).
Is spinal cord tethering linked to EDS and CM?
In a separate study by Milhorat's team an association was found between tethering of the spinal cord and type 1 CM (Reference 3). Tethering arose in 14% of 408 patients studied. However, it is important to note that they did not look at how often this specifically occurred in EDS cases. Also, the anatomical findings that they note as being particularly common to the tethered cord in type 1 CM were not the same as the findings recorded in their study looking at EDS patients. It should be considered for now that it is not known whether there is an association between EDS and spinal cord tethering in type 1 CM.
How is CM diagnosed?
This requires Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and the first part of the spinal cord. It is stated that this should be in the 'upright position', however there is no absolute evidence for this, although there is logic in this for EDS patients based on observing the effect of gravity on lax tissues as per the observations made in Milhorat's study (Reference 2).
It should be noted however that upright MRI facilities are difficult to access at present in the UK as there are very few machines. Also, it cannot be assumed that funding would automatically be made available through the NHS. It is very likely doctors would need to seek approval for funding from local Commissioners (read more).
In Freeman's study (Reference 1) half of each group had normal recumbent (laying) MRI and half had upright MRI. In the non-trauma group the frequency (prevalence) of CM was the same regardless of the type of scan. In the trauma group, upright MRI picked up twice as many cases compared to recumbent MRI but one must note that approximately 80-90% of all people in the study had no abnormality at all on MRI.
A pragmatic approach would seem to be that where there is a clinical concern, and after detailed clinical assessment, a recumbent MRI should be performed first. If a CM is not found by this method then an upright MRI should be considered. If surgery was being considered further tests to look at stability of the neck are likely to also be required.
How is a CM treated?
A type 1 CM is usually managed with medication to try and relieve the various symptoms.
In general if surgery is performed then a decompression procedure is undertaken. Here the surgeon makes an incision at the back of the head and removes a small piece of bone from the base of the skull. This will widen the space in the opening to the skull. A small piece of bone from the top of the spine is also removed. The aim is to increase the space around the spinal cord and relieve the pressure of the brain pressing on the cord.
However, one must think very carefully about this in EDS, not just because of the potential increased risk of bleeding, poor wound healing, and scarring. If laxity of the brain supporting tissues is leading to the brain pressing down on the cord then there is a theoretical and unknown risk that these lax tissues will simply drop further in to the enlarged space made by the surgery. Also, if there is instability of the upper neck then this should probably be surgically treated. These are very complex issues for which require expert neurosurgical advice.
As with all types of surgery there are potential complications, and surgery may result in no improvement or worsening of symptoms. In the type of surgery undertaken for CM these risks include:
- stroke or bleeding
- paralysis of the limbs
- meningitis or other infection
- impaired speech
- memory loss or problems with thinking
- swallowing impairment
- balance problems
- fits or seizures, and
- a risk to life
The 'bottom line' is:
i. There is a probable association between Chiari Malformation and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
ii. There is no known association between Chiari Malformation and hypermobility per se.
iii. Some individuals with a Chiari malformation may also have a syrinx.
iv. There is no known direct association between syrinx and either hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Like so many aspects of Medicine this area is complex. A detailed medical assessment is required before determining whether MRI tests might help in making a diagnosis.
Non-surgical treatments including medicines to manage symptoms and physical therapies to strengthen and stabilize the neck should be tried first.
Surgery can be effective but it is difficult to determine whether it is appropriate in many cases, and there are significant risks. This should always be thought through carefully with expert advice

has been for me a very big experience. Having one of the main exhibitions with my now good friend, Maurice Gunning, in what has over the 3 short years has been one of the key venues, has been a fantastic experience.
Very early on we decided to make it a very sophisticated and polished show, with very high standards of presentation applied and no expense spared in the production.
For my part I must thank all who supported the fundit campaign and indeed the Immigration Museum Melbourne, both helped my component to the max!
Both myself and Maurice gave talks and interviews in the space. I gave an interview to worldirish, documentary maker Donald Taylor Black and presented the work to the public, funders and varied groups on art tours of the city.
During the show 1000 cards bearing comments of sitters were taken from the venue by eager viewers wishing to delve more into the lore created by the leaving dublin process.
It was my wish that they should see this piece first and that has been the case in 16 different cities, towns, and counties from Japan to Brazil and all points in between.
Noreen Bowden and Orla Fitzpatrick were also instrumental in launching this piece internationally.
To conclude this post I must also pay tribute to all who facilitated the work night after night shoot after shoot, they are indeed named post after post and to all I am indebted.

I am joined by Bleacher Report's Justis Mosqueda to continue breaking down the top pass-rushers in the 2015 NFL Draft. Justis explains his "Force Players" metric which takes measurables and times from the Scouting Combine and fairly accurately determines which college edge-rushers are likely to succeed at the next level. Ten prospects in 2015 were able to perform at a high enough level to be named Force Players and we discuss several of them. We talk about whether a Combine drill besides the 40-yard dash needs to be considered more when it comes to edge-rushers. We discuss whether Alvin "Bud" Dupree is right up the Falcons' alley in terms of his potential at the next level and whether or not he can develop that "drive-by mode" as a pass-rusher. Owa Odighizuwa's hip issues, Randy Gregory's off-field concerns, snap jumpers and which past Force Players and non-Force Players were outliers in terms of their NFL success (or lack thereof) are also discussed in this week's episode.
Duration: 1 hour, 1 minute
Justis writes for Bleacher Report and Football Savages. You can find him on twitter at both @JuMosq and @forceplayers. Check out his break down of "Force Players" (formerly "Math Rushers") through 2013 to see which players have historically made the cut.

Mumbai, Jun 5 (PTI) Sunny Leone has been a part of reality TV shows like "Bigg Boss" and "Splitsvilla" and the actress says they are not scripted. The "Mastizaade" actress says some of the headline- grabbing moments on reality shows are as much a shock for the people on the set as they are for the audience. "I love reality television. I know a lot of people think it is all scripted, it is not. Some of the most outrageous moments, we have no idea that they are going to happen," Sunny told PTI in an interview. "We dont know the choices people are going to make. The choices end up shaping a lot of what the show turns out," she said. Sunny is returning as the host for the upcoming ninth season of "MTV Splitsvilla". The show will have 15 boys, as warriors, trying to woo six girls who will be princesses. The theme of the show this time is "where women rule". "I thought the concept was really great. I am a pro women anyway. It has been interesting to see how the boys on the show responded to these powers. We also did have moments where we thought the young ladies were taking advantage of their powers," she said. This is Sunnys third season as the host of the series. The "Ragini MMS 2" star recalls that during her debut on the show she was a bundle of nerves. "The first year I was really nervous, I didnt understand how it works. I enjoyed following the show but getting used to certain things, like the way you say a few things in Hindi, that part was a little unnerving." The season nine will premiere on June 11. The show, based on American dating reality series "Flavor of Love", will also feature actor Rannvijay Singh as Sunnys co-host. PTI JUR KRK SHD

Pilot Jeff Bennett has rescued more than 5,000 animals in his Cessna 172 and Cirrus SR22; Steve Danz has flown more than 1,000 missions for Angel Flight West; and Lt. Col. Dick Stoops has flown a free flying ambulance service in isolated regions around the world for Remote Area Medical. These volunteer pilots were honored at the fourth annual Endeavor Awards at the California Science Center in Los Angeles May 6.
More than 450 volunteer pilots, celebrities, and aviation luminaries attended the gala event, held under the massive space shuttle Endeavour, which is suspended from the ceiling of the science center. The Endeavor Awards is a red-carpet event in the tradition of Hollywood openings and award ceremonies and is the brainchild of television and movie producer Mark Wolper of the Wolper Organization, Warner Brothers. Wolper is a pilot and flies missions for Angel Flight West. He sought a way to honor the volunteer pilots who dedicate their time and aircraft to charitable flying and to help raise funds for the operations of volunteer pilot organizations.
Each year the organization honors three pilots and presents an inspiration award. The 2017 Inspiration Award was presented to Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger, the US Airways pilot responsible for the successful emergency ditching of Flight 1549 known as the "Miracle on the Hudson."
A live auction that included items such as a helicopter ride with stunt pilot Chuck Aaron and use of a Gulfstream IV for 12 people raised enough money to fund 2,200 donated flights.

(UNDATED) - If you are going to be doing some backyard digging and planting in this gorgeous spring weather, there are some things you need to keep in mind before you start.
Chuck Muller is the Public Relations director for Indiana 8-1-1. He says it's very important to call 8-1-1 two days before you plan on doing any yard work that involves digging at any depth. That's because some underground facilities are buried just inches below the surface.
So, a quick call to 8-1-1 can save you money in the long run.
Besides, for example, if you don't call first and cut a gas line, you could be fined up to $10,000, so take advantage of 8-1-1.
Muller says it's a free service that is available to the public 24/7. All you have to do, he says, is dial them up, tell them what you're planning on doing, and 8-1-1 members will come out to your home and put various colored flags around to mark the approximate location of any underground facilities.
Muller says that includes everyone from planting a tree or garden to putting in a new mailbox.

This morning we announced the general availability of System Center 2012 SP1. You can read more about the release on the System Center blog:
Here are some general changes in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) in the System Center 2012 SP1 release that you might need to consider:
- The VMM Self-Service Portal is no longer supported in System Center 2012 SP1. Instead, we recommend that you use System Center 2012 SP1 – App Controller as the self-service portal solution. For more information about App Controller, see App Controller.
- Self-service users can now use the VMM console instead of the VMM Self-Service Portal to perform tasks such as deploying virtual machines and services.
- High availability with N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) is no longer supported. VMM is compatible with virtual (synthetic) fiber channels that are configured for virtual machines in Hyper-V.
The following tables summarize VMM enhancements and other changes in the System Center 2012 SP1 release.
Deploying VMM
There are enhancements to the matrix of supported versions of operating systems and other required software. For a complete list of supported and required configurations, see System Requirements for System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager.
System Center 2012 SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager now manages Windows Server 2012 which delivers numerous enhancements to the Microsoft Hyper-V features, as follows:
- Large virtual machines
- Clusters that can support a larger numbers of nodes
- Storage management through SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative – Specification)
See the Supported Storage Arrays section in Configuring Storage Overview.
Ability to manage vSphere 5.1 and Citrix XenServer 6.0. For more information about Citrix, see Managing Citrix XenServer Overview. For more information about vSphere see How to Add VMware ESX Hosts to VMM and How to Configure Network Settings on a VMware ESX Host.
Configuring Fabric Resources in VMM – Networks
There is a new model for virtual machine networking, including network virtualization and virtual local area networks (VLANs) for network isolation.
How to Create a VM Network in System Center 2012 SP1
You can now manage the Hyper-V extensible switch, including deployment and configuration of virtual switch extensions using a new logical switch concept.
How to Add a Virtual Switch Extension Manager in System Center 2012 SP1
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM provides network virtualization that includes support for using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign customer addresses using Network Virtualization with Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) to virtualize the IP address of a virtual machine.
Software-defined networking is new with support for Hyper-V network virtualization and switch extension management. This allows a constant network configuration in the datacenter.
Configuring VM Networks and Gateways in System Center 2012 SP1
Configuring Ports and Switches for VM Networks in System Center 2012 SP1
How to Add a Virtual Switch Extension Manager in System Center 2012 SP1
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM introduces the concept of a logical switch that allows you to manage individual switch instances across multiple Hyper-V hosts as a single entity.
How to Create a Logical Switch in System Center 2012 SP1
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM provides the ability to deploy and manage third-party switch extensions, such as Cisco 1KV and InMon. For organizations that have investments in these third-party products, these can be integrated into VMM.
How to Create a Logical Switch in System Center 2012 SP1
Configuring Fabric Resources in VMM – Storage
SC 2012 SP – VMM now supports file shares that leverage the new 3.0 version of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol that is introduced in Windows Server 2012. VMM in this release includes support for designating network file shares on Windows Server 2012 computers as the storage location for virtual machine files, such as configuration, virtual hard disk (.vhd/.vhdx) files and checkpoints.
SMB 3.0 file shares provide the following benefits when they are used with VMM in this release:
- Hyper-V over SMB supports file servers and storage with improved efficiency compared to traditional storage area networks (SANs).
- If you use SMB 3.0 file shares as the storage locations for virtual machine files, you can "live migrate" virtual machines that are running between two standalone Hyper-V hosts or between two stand-alone Hyper-V host clusters. Because the storage location is a shared location that is available from the source and destination hosts, only the virtual machine state must transfer between hosts.
You can create SMB 3.0 file shares on standalone Windows Server 2012 file servers and on clustered Windows Server 2012 file servers. If you use a standalone file server, you can designate an SMB 3.0 file share as the virtual machine storage location on a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host cluster. However, this is not a highly available solution.
For more information about SMB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012, see Server Message Block Overview.
For more information about how to create a highly available SMB 3.0 file share, see Scale-Out File Server for Application Data Overview, and steps 1 and 2 of the Deploy Scale-Out File Server scenario that is linked to from that topic.
The new Windows Standards-Based Storage Management service replaces the Microsoft Storage Management Service in System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager. The new service uses the Windows Storage Management application programming interface (API), a WMI-based programming interface that is included in Windows Server 2012. This new API enables you to discover storage by using multiple provider types.
The Windows Storage Management API supersedes the Virtual Disk Service (VDS) interface. Therefore, if you are using a storage array that uses only the VDS hardware provider (and not SMI-S), storage area network (SAN) transfer capabilities will no longer be available. A SAN transfer enables you to migrate a virtual machine from one location to another when the virtual hard disk is located on a storage array. The logical unit number (LUN) that contains the virtual machine is remapped from the source computer to the destination computer instead of transferring the files over the network.
In this release, VMM supports the following types of storage providers and arrays:
- SMI-S CIM–XML, which existed in System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager. For more information about the supported storage arrays, see the Supported Storage Arrays section of Configuring Storage Overview.
- Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
Supported array: Dell EqualLogic PS Series using iSCSI.
Now with SP1 there is support for auto (dynamic) iSCSI target systems, such as the Dell EqualLogic PS Series. System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager supports only static iSCSI target systems.
Thin provisioning of logical units through VMM is now possible. Your storage array must support thin provisioning and thin provisioning must be enabled for a storage pool by your storage administrator.
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM supports integration with third-party SANs and file-based storage on a Windows Server 2012 file server.
Configuring Fabric Resources in VMM – Hyper-V
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM now supports using a virtual hard disk that is in the .vhdx format as the base operating system image.
Also new is operating system deployment that utilizes deep discovery and Consistent Device Naming (CDN). CDN allows VMM to predictably assign network interface controllers (NICs) to the correct networks and teams.
During the discovery process, you can run deep discovery to see more detailed information about the physical computer hardware before you deploy the operating system. In this release, deep discovery functionality is only partially enabled. You can view the physical network adapter information, information about the CPU, and the amount of memory. You can configure network options such as logical switches, and you can change the settings for the network adapter that VMM automatically designates as the management network adapter.
How to Discover Physical Computers and Deploy as Hyper-V Hosts in VMM
How to Create a Host Profile in VMM
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM also provides support for
- physical network adapter configuration as follows:
- IP configuration
- Logical switch creation
- NIC Teaming
- Support for host vNIC configuration.
- Support for startup disk selection as part of operating system deployment.
- Enhanced default auto disk selection logic as part of operating system deployment.
Virtual Machines and Services
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM provides support for deployment of services to virtual machines in a domain or workgroup that does not have a trust relationship with the domain of the VMM management server.
Preparing to Create Services in VMM
In Hyper-V only, support is provided for the deployment of services to virtual machines that are not connected, where the service instance does not have network connectivity to the VMM management server, to a VMM library server, or to both.
Preparing to Create Services in VMM
Now in SC 2012 SP1 – VMM when you are deploying a virtual machine as part of a service and creating a SQL Server profile, there is added support for SQL Server 2012 as an instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
How to Create a SQL Server Profile in a Service Deployment
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM provides the following enhancements to application profiles:
- For the deployment of application packages, added support for updated versions of the following applications:
- Web Deploy 3.0
- Data-tier Application Framework (DAC Fx) 3.0
- Server App-V SP1
- Support for application profiles that run multiple scripts before and after installing an application on a virtual machine, and if a script fails, the capability to rerun if specified to do so in the profile.
- Support for deploying MSDeploy packages to existing Internet Information Services (IIS) servers, whether they are virtual or physical, managed by VMM or not (Web Application Host).
How to Create an Application Profile in a Service Deployment
You can now add Windows Server 2012 roles and features when creating and deploying services, such as the Windows Server Update Services role.
There is now support for IIS application hosts, which allow you to deploy websites into pre-existing IIS web farms.
How to Apply Updates to a Deployed Service in VMM
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM adds support for the new version of the virtual hard disk format that is introduced in Windows Server 2012. This new format is referred to as VHDX. Compared to the older VHD format, VHDX has a much larger storage capacity of up to 64 TB. The VHDX format also provides data corruption protection during power failures. Additionally, it offers improved alignment of the virtual hard disk format to perform well on large-sector physical disks.
Support for VHDX includes the following:
- You can convert a virtual hard disk for a virtual machine that is deployed to a Windows Server 2012-based host from the .vhd to .vhdx virtual hard disk format. The conversion includes any associated checkpoints.
- If you create a new virtual machine with a blank virtual hard disk, VMM determines whether the format should be .vhd or .vhdx, depending on the operating system of the host that is selected during placement. If it is a Windows Server 2012–based host, VMM uses the .vhdx format. If it is a Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1–based host, VMM uses the .vhd format.
- If you provision a physical computer as a Hyper-V host, you can specify a .vhdx file as the image for the base operating system.
- You can use VMM to "rapidly provision" any virtual machines that use VHDX-based virtual hard disks from SAN-copy capable templates.
- A VMM library server that runs Windows Server 2012 automatically indexes .vhdx files.
- In addition to the small and large blank .vhd files that were available in previous versions of VMM, the VMM library in System Center 2012 SP1 also contains both a small (16 gigabytes (GB)) and a large (60 GB) blank .vhdx files.
For more information about the benefits of the VHDX format in Windows Server 2012, see Hyper-V Virtual Hard Disk Format Overview.
Rapid Provisioning of Virtual Machines Using SAN Copy Overview
You can now provision a physical computer as a Hyper-V host. When you provision a physical computer as a Hyper-V host, you can use a Windows Server 2012-based virtual hard disk that is in the .vhdx or .vhd format as the base operating system image.
For background information about adding a physical computer as a Hyper-V host, see Adding Physical Computers as Hyper-V Hosts Overview.
Linux-based virtual machines are now fully supported with the following:
- Added settings for Linux-specific operating system specialization when you are creating a Linux-based virtual machine template. Important: These settings are supported only when the Linux virtual machine is deployed on Hyper-V.
- Ability to include a Linux virtual machine template in a service template that deploys a multi-tier application or service.
- Updated Windows PowerShell cmdlets to support this new functionality.
How to Create a Virtual Machine Template
Requirements for Linux-Based Virtual Machines
You can now configure availability options for virtual machines on Hyper-V host clusters by using the VMM console, without having to open Failover Cluster Manager.
Configuring Availability Options for Virtual Machines in System Center 2012 SP1 Overview
Live Migration
SC 2012 SP – VMM supports live migration outside a cluster. This is in addition to supporting live migration within a cluster. Live migration outside a cluster allows you to perform live migration between two standalone computers that are not cluster nodes.
For more information about live migration in Windows Server 2012, see the following topics:
- Virtual Machine Live Migration Overview
- Virtual Machine Storage Migration Overview
- Migrating virtual machines and storage in System Center SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager
Live migration between nodes in two different clusters is also now supported. You can migrate between nodes within a cluster, or between nodes in different clusters.
Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview
How to configure live virtual machine and storage migration in System Center SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager
Storage migration, which allows for the migration of virtual machine storage is now supported. You can migrate storage in order to update the physical storage available in Hyper-V, or to mitigate bottlenecks in storage performance. Storage can be added to either a standalone computer or a Hyper-V cluster. Then, virtual machines can be moved to the new storage while they continue to run.
Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview
How to configure live virtual machine and storage migration in System Center SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager
SC 2012 SP1 – VMM also supports live VSM. By using live virtual system migration (VSM) you can migrate both virtual machines and storage in a single action.
Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview
How to configure live virtual machine and storage migration in System Center SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager
You can perform multiple concurrent live migrations of virtual machines and storage. The allowable number of concurrent live migrations can be configured manually. Attempted concurrent live migrations in excess of the limit will be queued.
Migrating Virtual Machines and Storage Overview
How to configure live virtual machine and storage migration in System Center SP1 – Virtual Machine Manager
VMM Console
Integration of third-party user interface (UI) add-ins for the VMM console can now extend the functionality of the console. For example, you can create console add-ins that will allow you to do the following:
- Add ribbon entries in the VMM console to launch web browsers and Windows applications directly from the ribbon.
- Enable new actions or additional configuration for VMM objects by writing an application that uses context that is passed regarding the selected VMM objects.
- Embed custom Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) UI or web portals directly into the VMM console's main views to provide a more fully integrated experience.
Virtual Machine Manager Add-in SDK in the TechNet Wiki.
There are several significant performance enhancements to the VMM console. Load times are decreased and the performance of sorting and filtering views is significantly improved. For viewing job history, jobs are now loaded incrementally and the views have a richer set of data-filtering options, reducing the effect of large sets of jobs on console performance.
Overview pages in the VMM console now display various reports about usage and capacity metrics for services, tenants and clouds.
Additional Improvements
Performance and scalability:
- Increased the scale of a VMM management server to be able to manage 600 hosts and 12,000 virtual machines.
- Support for a 64 node cluster.
- Performance enhancement to the VMM console.
Integration with Operation Manager as follows:
- Ability to use Operations Manager to view information related to application hosts, load balancers, and user roles while also being able to monitor virtual machines, services, host systems, network adapters, and other elements of the fabric.
- Receive notifications from Operations Manager if the load on a cloud has exceeded a chosen threshold of fabric capacity. Concurrently review other clouds for available excess capacity that can be reallocated to meet the demand.
- Generate reports that track the resource usage of each configured service or service user, to aid in capacity planning.
Configuring Operations Manager Integration with VMM
In App Controller in System Center 2012 Service Pack 1, the following new features are available:
- Upload a virtual hard disk or image to Windows Azure from a VMM library or network share
- Add a virtual machine to a deployed service in Windows Azure
- Start, stop, and connect to virtual machines in Windows Azure
- Copy a virtual machine from VMM to Windows Azure
- Deploy a virtual machine in Windows Azure to create a cloud service
- Add a Service Provider Framework (SPF) hosting provider connection

Armenian Election Controversy: A Local View
By Frank Lavoie, 3/6/2008 10:07:34 AM
For those who gripe about elections in the United States, all one has to do is look around the world and see how truly lucky we are. One recent example is the presidential election in Armenia held February 19. Armenia is a newly independent democracy located in a precarious situation surrounded by enemies in the Southern Caucasus.
The sitting president Robert Kocharian anointed his Prime Minister Serzh Sarkissian to succeed him. The election was to be purely a show. The administration was seen as highly corrupt and it was thought that the common falsification of election results would continue. The opposition candidate was actually Armenia's first president after independence from 1991 to 1998, Levon Ter-Petrossian.
When the first round election ended with an outright victory for Sarkissian with 53% of the vote, the opposition immediately claimed falsification and started protests. After ten days of peaceful protests the police moved in, leading to pitched battles in the streets, machine gun fire ringing out, numerous deaths and injuries and the army, complete with tanks and armored personnel carriers, occupying the capital Yerevan. What made the situation ironic was that Ter-Petrossian's re-election in 1996 was marred by vote fraud, protests and clashes leading to martial law, though not on a scale like what happened March 1.
It is impossible to find out what has actually transpired in Armenia since the crackdown began because Kocharian has created a complete news black out by suspending all freedom of the press and blocking outside news media.
However, the issue that started the conflict has been overlooked: the fraudulent election. I believe that the election was indeed faked. I base this on my first hand account of being an election observer for Kocharian's first election back in 1998, when he was Prime Minister and the government candidate. I am sure things have not changed much since then, except that each year the election fraud is covered up better.
I became an observer through the United States embassy in Yerevan and came under the umbrella of the OSCE observer mission. During the first round of elections I monitored election precincts in the Ararat region (at the time one of the most corrupt regions) and in the second round I was in Yerevan at a regional vote collection center.
Being out in the village precincts during the first round was quite amazing. We were able to spend only about half an hour at each location. Of all the voting places we visited only one seemed to have no problems and it was not even on our list of precincts to visit due to its small size. The rest all had problems of various degrees.
One common theme to our precinct visits was that the issues were always "resolved" instantly. We were like gods that got things fixed, even though we were only observers that could ask questions, lots of them if necessary. The problem, of course, was that as soon as we left things went right back to normal.
There was one polling place with campaign posters on the front door. When the precinct president was confronted he assured me that it was untrue, despite the fact I saw it with my own eyes. He then walked me back outside to prove it: the posters were gone!
Several locations had open voting, where voters were showing their marked ballots in public. Several others had people registering to vote outside their registered locations. Numerous instances of passport photos not being checked were witnessed. Particularly troubling were police officers inside the polling stations, a situation specifically prohibited due to earlier instances of intimidation.
I would always pay a visit to the police at every location, ask how they were doing and if necessary "escort" them to where they belonged. More often than not they were back where they didn't belong by the time we drove off.
At one location voters not on the list but obviously living in the precinct were denied their right to be given a provisional ballot. Only by our timely arrival and insistence on watching the problem be resolved did they get to vote.
Another location had a broken ballot box seal: a voter had fallen on it by accident, nothing funny was going on, of course.
At 8pm the precincts were locked and the vote counting took place. We were in a small village, it was dark, lots of men in dark clothes were standing about and strange music was playing over the loudspeakers. A truly scary feeling, though we knew we were safe. Nonetheless, we had our driver park the car near the door. Without fail, a common theme in Armenian vote counting occurred: the lights went out! I immediately jumped on top of the ballot box, calling out to my partner to make sure we stayed in communication. The lights came on and we continued the count. Upon finishing the count the ballots were packed into a car for the ride to the district collection point. We followed in our car and it was quite obvious they tried to lose us during the trip.
The highlight of the election for me was the second round two weeks later at the regional vote collection center in the Nor Nork region of Yerevan. This is where the actual results protocols are turned in after the counting at the precincts. It was well past midnight before the first results started to arrive. The results protocols were turned in and the ballots stacked to the side. The action started when the opposition observer stated that one of the protocols did not match the results that were announced at the actual precinct. The committee president simply stated that he would investigate and then ordered a break.
An hour later in the hallway I overheard a newcomer announce, "I brought the correct protocols." The only reason I was allowed to hear this is that everyone assumes that a foreigner cannot speak Armenian. In my case, they were mistaken!
As the meeting resumed the committee President announced that the "correct" results had arrived and simply placed the first protocol in his desk. Case closed! Not quite. I asked to see the first, fake, protocol. The president tore it up into the trash and said the matter was over. When I again insisted on seeing it, he blew up in anger and illegally shut down the vote count.
Everyone left the room except for him, his vice-president, me and my fellow observer. After a half hour standoff the vice-president left and brought an elderly cleaning woman who proceeded to dump the trash can and leave. What an opportunity.
I followed the woman out to the hall, took possession of the trash, sorted out the coffee grinds and was able to match together a faked protocol.
That is how I found the greatest physical example of voting fraud in the 1998 Armenian Presidential Election. How much was not discovered is the real enigma. And for 2008 the question remains: how much have the Armenian authorities changed in their holding of "free and fair" elections?

Troubling news from the Caucasus
Mar 6th 2008 | MOSCOW
From The Economist print edition
Bloodshed in Armenia worries both Russia and the West
THE day after Dmitry Medvedev's presidential victory, Moscow's leading papers turned their attention away from the long-predicted result to the unexpected bloodshed in Armenia. At least eight people were killed in clashes between security forces and opposition supporters protesting against alleged fraud in the country's presidential elections. "An election won with some blood", ran the headline in Kommersant, a leading business daily.
Small, complicated and with names that are hard to spell, Armenia has long been out of the mainstream of world news. Yet what happens in this country has implications not only for the whole of the Caucasus, a region vital for Europe's energy security, but also for Russia. The story of rigged elections, corrupt officials and dead protesters is particularly unnerving for Russia, a country that prides itself on its stability.
On February 19th Armenia held presidential elections. The incumbent prime minister, Serzh Sarkisian, assisted by a biased media and occasional stuffing of the ballot boxes, won 53% of the vote. If the election had been conducted fairly, there is a good chance he would have faced a second round and a possible defeat. But Mr Sarkisian had the backing of Robert Kocharian, the current president, which swung the result. (Mr Kocharian, it is said, fancies the job of prime minister—not unlike his Russian counterpart.)
International observers did not cover themselves in glory. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe pointed out many shortcomings, yet said in an initial statement that the ballot was "mostly in line with the country's international commitments".
The opposition, led by Levon Ter-Petrosian, an academic and Armenia's first president, demanded a re-run of the election. His supporters took to the streets. Mr Ter-Petrosian is no democratic angel. In 1996 he is widely believed to have rigged the presidential election in his favour. Still, those who voted for him this time did so largely in protest against the local mafia, corruption and unemployment now associated with Mr Kocharian.
For 11 days the government put up with the peaceful protest. But on March 1st, the police moved in on the pretext that protesters were carrying firearms, which some observers say were planted. Mr Ter-Petrosian was placed under de facto house arrest and the crowd was dispersed. Predictably it regrouped and gathered in front of the French embassy in Yerevan. Mr Kocharian sent in the army, and the area was soon lit up with tracer fire.
Eight people were killed, cars were torched and shops were looted. Many protesters were armed with stones and metal poles. But the responsibility ultimately lies with the government which allowed the situation to deteriorate into chaos. The state of emergency now imposed by Mr Kocharian for 20 days, including a media blackout and the arrest of opposition figures, may temporarily suppress the protests, but it is unlikely to resolve the underlying problems.
These include corruption, low living standards and an economic blockade by Azerbaijan and Turkey because of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian-populated enclave inside Azerbaijan that was conquered by Armenia in 1994. This conflict has long been frozen. But three days after the violence in Yerevan, Armenian and Azerbaijani forces were involved in their worst firefight in a decade. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan accuse each other of starting the skirmish, which caused a disputed number of deaths on both sides.
Claiming that Kosovo's declaration of independence last month has emboldened Armenian separatists, Azerbaijan's president, Ilham Aliev, has given warning that he is buying weapons to retake Nagorno-Karabakh by force, if necessary. A renewed war could destabilise the region and jeopardise a strategic oil pipeline to Turkey that runs only 15 kilometres (ten miles) from the ceasefire line.
Nagorno-Karabakh remains an open sore. Mr Ter-Petrosian's downfall in 1998 was mainly caused by his hints of a more flexible approach to a peace settlement with Azerbaijan. Both Mr Kocharian and Mr Sarkisian are from Nagorno-Karabakh and fought in the war, but they have done little to move towards peace. In a recent commentary in the Washington Post, Mr Ter-Petrosian dismissed the notion that only hardliners from Nagorno-Karabakh can solve the conflict. Indeed, he argues that Mr Sarkisian, whose presidency is now marred by bloodshed and incompetence, will be even less able to govern.
Russia and the West have an interest in Armenia's stability, and they need to work to maintain it. This could be Mr Medvedev's first foreign test as president.

I found a bunch of butternut boards at one of my trips to a local sawmill. Since it's rather light weight compared to cherry or walnut, and not as durable, I hadn't found a use for it until I came on this design. Butternut is often called the "blonde walnut" as the grain patterns are very similar. I stained this chest with Minwax red mahogany and finished with Minwax poly. Carcass is dovetailed with a Leigh jig, though I have to admit, I put the pins and tails on the wrong sides (only from an aesthetic point of view).

Very nice blanket chest. The stained butternut looks wonderful. Do the drawers along the bottom or are they just decorative?

I don't see how you put the pins and tails on the wrong side.
Nice, work, I just did a similar chest out of cedar for my son. But with hand cut dovetails.

Drawers at the bottom are real and work.
The only reason I thought the dovetails might be on the wrong sides is because the view from the front you see the pins rather than the tails, which might be more attractive. From a functional standpoint, you are correct about the load (as if such a load would occur).

Very beautiful chest. I like the inclusion of the drawers. Which router bit or molding plane did you use for the edge profiles on the lid and skirt?

I used a shaper for all the moldings. The top has a round over on top and a cove underneath with a separate cove molding applied so that it overlaps the case.

If your family has a history of food allergies or lactose intolerance, you might want to put your children on a dairy free diet to avoid symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, vomiting and fussiness. Even if such history is not apparent in your family, you might still want your children to go dairy free due to the link between dairy and prostate cancer, breast cancer, obesity, diabetes and certain cardiovascular diseases.
Foods to Avoid
Besides avoiding the obvious milk--including condensed, evaporated, powdered, dry, whole, low-fat and skim--butter, cream, cheese, yogurt, curd, custard, butter fat, sour cream, pudding and ice cream, you must get into the habit of checking food labels when you buy manufactured goods. Watch out for the hidden dairy ingredients such as whey, lactose, casein and caseinates.
Avoid bakery goods including cakes, breads, cookies and pastries, all of which almost always contain butter and milk as ingredients.
Other foods that usually contain milk protein are luncheon meat, chocolate, high-protein flour and flavorings.
Also avoid deli meats because they are often contaminated with cheese when prepared.
When eating out, always ask about the ingredients. Avoid cream-based sauce and soup. Ask about the coatings used for fried foods and whether milk is used for scrambled eggs and pancakes.
Avoid condiments such as blue cheese and ranch dressings.
Many medications contain lactose. Look at the ingredient labels or ask your doctor.
Foods to Substitute
Milk substitutes are usually based on soy, such as soy milk and tofu. Coconut cream is another alternative. You can use vegetable shortenings in place of butter. Vegan cheese can replace cheese. Other soy-based or rice-based frozen desserts, sorbets, puddings and ice pops are easily found in the market.
There are soy hot dogs and soy sausages available. Read the food label before purchasing, since some of them may contain casein as an ingredient to boost up the protein content.
When you eliminate dairy products from a diet, you are taking away much dietary calcium. Make sure your children meet their calcium needs with non-dairy foods that are high in calcium. They include dark green veggies, beans, nuts, seafood and shellfish, and calcium-fortified orange juice, rice milk, soy milk and tofu.
Look for foods with Kosher labeling, which are marked Parve or Pareve and are certified dairy free.
If you are concerned about the calcium intake of your children, talk with your doctor about calcium supplementation.
Be aware that vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption and is produced by the body under sunlight exposure. Therefore, increasing your children's sun exposure can enhance calcium absorption.

Happy 3 day weekend Lovelies! Are you guys doing anything fun this weekend? Or just chilling out enjoying the quiet? I think my husband and I will be doing the later ;) But we also may go paddle boarding down on Lady Bird Lake...or even Lake Travis, I'm not sure, but I'm excited either way!
Today I have some STUNNING polishes to share with you from the Fall/Winter Collection by LVX. This Collection consists of 6 cream polishes (1 with some beautiful shimmer)...and I literally can't wait to show you, so let's just get into it already! :D
(Warning: This is a very picture heavy post, so Enjoy!)
**These polishes were sent to me for review. Please see my Disclosure Policy listed in the tabs above.**
Up first we have Vanille, which is a beautiful buttery, cream color. The opacity was really great with this polish, it only needed 2 coats for full opacity.
I also wanted to switch it up a little and show you some stamping with only the colors in this Collection, so here I stamped Santal over Vanille with a plaid stamp from Born Pretty Store.
I love every polish in this Collection, but I have to say that Santal is my absolute favorite! The shimmer is so subtle, yet so mesmerizing and the shade of this beautiful mauve color is just fantastic! Full opacity with 2 coats.
Here I stamped Mink over the top using another stamp from Born Pretty Store.
Mink is literally the darkest a brown can get...which I like and I kind of don't like at the same time. The reason I don't like it is because in the bottle (and the 1st coat) the brown color is a noticeable, beautiful brown, but I think after the 2nd coat it looks more like a black polish...so if I could change anything about any of these polishes, it would only be this polish, by making it just a tad bit lighter so that it is noticeably different than a black polish.
Over Mink I stamped with Santal again, because that color really just pops over the dark brown.
How gorgeous is this shade of green!? This is Oasis, a rich, deep forest green. I am quite in love with this polish too ;) The application was extremely smooth and was fully opaque with 2 coats.
I stamped over Oasis using Vanille and another stamp from Born Pretty Store.
Brique is a totally fascinating shade of red to me. In the bottle it first looks like a more burgundy or maroon red (even on my toes it looks like a maroon red!), but the second I put it on my fingernails it looked more like a coral/red. Even though I used the exact same color on my toes, and did not apply it any different...they look like 2 completely separate polishes.
I stamped again with a stamp from Born Pretty Store using Mink over Brique.
And last up in the Collection is Ashe, a beautiful deep grey. The application mirrored all of the other polishes, it was smooth and completely opaque with 2 coats.
And just to make it really pop I added Brique over the top with a Born Pretty Store stamp and then added a matte topcoat.
So there it is! I hope you were able to make it all the way through this post :) I absolutely love this Collection! Especially since I'm really getting in the mood for Fall already ;) The application of LVX polishes never seems to change, which is wonderful because the application of all of their polishes is so smooth and lucious. Each of these polishes has amazing opacity! Which you can tell with the stamps :)
Get these polishes for yourself at https://shoplvx.com/shop-products/ and have a Wonderful Holiday weekend!

50 Books Every Kid Should Read: From "Green Eggs and Ham" to "The Hunger Games," see our picks for a library to spark a lifelong love of reading
Great list, but again with the "should." How about just 50 great books kids will love?
Pew has broken down results in various ways with revealing results. Those who say that job help is an important service of the library includes:
- Over 50 percent of Blacks and Hispanics, compared with about 20 percent of Whites and Asian Americans.
- Between 30 and 34 percent across all age groups, except those over 65 (20 percent).
Some 43 percent among lower income and less educated Americans.
- And among those who identify themselves as looking for work, "47 percent of job seekers say help finding or applying for a job is 'very important' to them"
I need no more evidence to be a lifetime supporter of public libraries.
Dec. 1 will feature the return of "Cider Monday," which was celebrated last year at various independent businesses, including bookstores.
