Quality Awards II: The elite of enterprise arrays
Hitachi Data Systems consolidates its claim as the top-rated enterprise array by sweeping all five user-experience categories in the 2006 edition of our survey.
Hitachi Data Systems repeats as winner of the second edition of the Diogenes Labs-Storage magazine Quality Awards for enterprise arrays.
Nothing symbolizes the prestige of storage in a data center more than enterprise-class disk arrays. Discussions about enterprise arrays are always more emotional and intense than other storage product categories, and justifiably so. That emotion is driven by the reality that "Tier-1" enterprise storage holds the data that fuels the organization's most demanding applications. Mission-critical application failure can cost businesses millions of dollars in seconds. Although vendors talk in terms of "nines of service," in practice, IT organizations are upset if their enterprise arrays ever fail.
|Products in our survey
The following vendors and products were included in the 2006 Diogenes Labs-Storage magazine Quality Award survey for enterprise arrays:
Because system reliability is so important to IT consumers, Diogenes Labs and Storage magazine have again teamed up to determine which enterprise arrays (see "Products in our survey," at right) best deliver on their promise. These awards are determined by a detailed survey sent to Storage readers that quantifies users' experiences in five categories:
- Sales-force competence
- Product features
- Initial product quality
- Product reliability
- Technical support
The winner
Last year, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Corp. captured the first Diogenes Labs–Storage magazine Quality Award for enterprise arrays, winning four out of five categories. In the 2006 edition of the survey, HDS has consolidated its claim as the top-rated array by repeating as the winner, sweeping all five categories. Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. moved up from its third-place finish in 2005 to a solid second, placing second in every category. EMC Corp., which was fifth last year, moved up two notches to third, while IBM Corp. remained in fourth. The biggest surprise was Sun Microsystems Inc., which was a strong second in 2005 but fell to last place this year. We also included 3PAR Inc. in our survey this year, but it didn't garner enough responses to be statistically valid for the award.
Dean Register, an IT integrator at a Midwestern energy company, recently replaced the company's IBM TotalStorage ESS 800 with an HDS TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform (USP) 1100. "Administratively, it [the IBM array] was relatively easy to use," says Register, but "the box did not scale very well; you couldn't load it down." The new TagmaStore is a different story. "The Tagma is a genuine industrial-strength box that was built for speed," he says.
The TagmaStore USP system was too new to be included in our 2005 survey. Although TagmaStore was included in this year's survey, it accounted for only 41% of the HDS-related responses. In contrast, EMC's new DMX systems constituted 59% of its respondents. IBM also had a very low rate of new system responses, with just 29% related to the newest DS systems and the balance for various generations of "Shark" arrays.
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Scores drop
This year's scores are generally down overall from last year's. In 2005, HDS won with an aggregate score of 5.83, but fell to 5.76 this year. IBM declined to 5.05 (from 5.41), while Sun dropped below the 5.0 mark to 4.94 (from 5.52). HP and EMC, however, increased their aggregate scores to 5.54 and 5.27, respectively, from 5.47 and 5.19. Statements are scored on a 1.0-8.0 scale, with 4.5 as the mean.
Along with a number of readers, we were surprised with EMC's low scores on last year's survey given that it's the acknowledged market share leader. We hypothesized that EMC's user base is polarized, with some users truly liking EMC's high-end arrays and others less enthusiastic about them. As a result, we've added another layer of analysis called "top-two box" and "bottom-two box" analysis. Using this technique, we can see how many times a vendor was rated with the top-two and bottom-two responses. Conceptually, this analysis is the opposite of an average. Indeed, our hypothesis played out. EMC had a high rate of top-two scores (51%), second only to HDS (59%). However, these high scores were offset by bottom-two scores of 8% for EMC vs. 5% for HDS. HP had the lowest rate of bottom-two scores with just 4%. Sun had the highest number of bottom-two scores with 11%.
In 2006, we also extended our demographic analysis. We asked respondents to tell us how much capacity each of their systems had. From this information, we learned that more than half of IBM, Sun, HP and even HDS respondents have less than 100TB on those companies' systems. In contrast, more than half of EMC respondents had more than 100TB. Indeed, EMC had 39 respondents (28%) with more than 200TB; HDS had 16 respondents with more than 200TB vs. only single-digit respondents for HP, IBM and Sun. Seventeen percent of respondents had four arrays, but 3% reported having 17 arrays.
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Sales-force competence
In 2005, the only category HDS didn't win was sales-force competence. That changed this year, despite HDS' score in this category actually falling from 5.68 to 5.49 (see "Sales-force competence," at right). HDS' highest score in this category was in response to the statement "My sales rep is easy to negotiate with" (5.71). Sun, the previous category winner, had its score tumble more than a full point from 5.73 to 4.61.
Sales is often a sticking point among users, capable of making an otherwise good vendor relationship turn sour. Brown-Forman Corp., Louisville, KY, engaged a consulting firm to help with the purchase of an EMC Symmetrix DMX-3. "We negotiated not only the price of the DMX, but we negotiated per-terabyte pricing at certain tiers over a four-year period," says Steve Greenleaf, senior systems engineer at Brown-Forman. "We were pretty aggressive in our negotiations."
The biggest turnaround in the sales-force category was HP, which went from fifth place last year to second this year despite only a fractional scoring rise from 5.20 to 5.21. Nevertheless, HP was the only vendor to remain steady as all others declined in their ratings. EMC and IBM (with scores of 5.19 and 5.18, respectively) were grouped very closely to HP. EMC could have surpassed HP in this category, but its score was dragged down by a 4.70 for the statement "My sales rep keeps my interests foremost." Sun experienced rare negative ratings (4.47) to this same question, as well as for "My sales rep is easy to negotiate with" and "My sales rep is flexible." For Sun, this is a surprising slip in just one year. The ratings decline, we hypothesize, is a result of disruptions due to integrating significant acquisitions (e.g., StorageTek) and major corporate reorganizations.
The repercussions of a sale can resound long after the ink has dried on the contract. "It was a sales error that we're suffering right now," says Mark Gangola, manager of data center operations at New Century Mortgage Corp. in Irvine, CA, referring to the replication software his company bought with its EMC Symmetrix DMX1000. "Every time we've used it, it's broken something," says Gangola. They've temporarily pulled the plug on the $175,000 software package.
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Product features
To assess product features, we asked respondents about their experiences with software functionality such as snapshots, mirroring and management features. Once again, this category ran counter to the trend of overall lower scores. HDS won this category with a 5.94, the highest category score in this year's survey (see "Product features," at right). Whereas scores above 6.0 to individual statements in 2005 were good, they were more common than in the 2006 survey. HDS had four 6.0-plus scores in the product features section, including, "This product's snapshot features meet my needs" (6.07), "This product's mirroring meets my needs" (6.04), "This products remote replication meets my needs" (6.16) and "This product scales to meet my needs" (6.10).
We compared this category's scores for HDS, HP and Sun because all of these systems function identically; HP and Sun sell OEM versions of the HDS product. Although the scores were different, they did track together, albeit by an offset amount. That means that if the scores were placed on a graph, they would follow a similar track. Although one might expect them to be identical, it's likely that nonproduct factors (e.g., sales-force competence, technical support, professional services) impact a user's perception of the product's performance. These scores seem to support that hypothesis.
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Initial product quality
The initial product quality section of the survey assesses not only how easy the product was to install and configure, but also the degree to which respondents were satisfied with any professional services provided by the vendor. The services component of enterprise-array product delivery tends to be quite high. In 2005, we used the statement "This product does not require professional services"; however, we felt the statement unfairly prejudiced responses against "high-touch" products. Indeed, many users prefer the high-touch engagement model. For this year's survey, we substituted the statement "I am satisfied with the level of service for this product." EMC's score on this issue rose from 3.22 on last year's survey to 4.80. But users gave the company a low score of 4.12 for "This product requires little vendor intervention." Overall, EMC's score for the category rose from 4.46 to 4.83, but still landed it in last place for the category, just barely trailing Sun (4.84) and IBM (4.86) (see "Initial product quality," at right).
Brown-Forman's EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 worked without a major hitch from day one. "Once the hardware rolled in the door," says the firm's Greenleaf, "it was pretty much ready to use."
While the other three products in this category were rated below 5.0, HDS and HP broke away from the pack with solid 5.80 and 5.58 scores, respectively. No product scored above 6.0 to any statement in this section, but HDS came close with a 5.96 for "This product offers good value for the money." HP rated second on this statement with a 5.15, followed by IBM (4.84), EMC (4.75) and Sun (4.56). Last year, three of HDS' six scores in this category topped 6.0.
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Product reliability
Our product reliability section confirmed that all of the products in this category perform well in the data center. Every product scored above 5.0, led by HDS (5.92) down to IBM (5.04) (see "Product reliability," at right). Nevertheless, the overall ratings in this category fell on a year-over-year basis. In 2005, scores ranged from 6.16 (HDS) to 5.41 (Sun).
One area that captured our attention in nearly all of the product categories in previous awards is patch management. In most surveys, we've found this area to be among the lowest rated and a differentiator among vendors. This year, HP (6.04) bested HDS (5.97) for the statement "This product requires very few unplanned patches." However, HDS received higher marks (5.86) for "Patches can be applied non-disruptively" vs. HP's 5.76. The statement "This product meets my service-level requirements" received generally high scores, with HDS taking the top spot with a 5.97.
Despite his software woes, New Century Mortgage's Gangola is more than happy with his EMC array's reliability. "We've had phenomenal up time," says Gangola. "Overall, the fact that we're at four-nines-plus [means] the equipment has been pretty good."
|Ranking of enterprise arrays
Technical support
None of our surveys has revealed significant differentiators among vendors based on technical support. In 2006, HDS, HP and EMC all maintained scores above 5.30 (see "Technical support," at right). IBM and Sun, however, slid to 5.08 and 4.81, respectively. For the statement "Support personnel are knowledgeable," respondents awarded HDS a 5.61 and HP a 5.53. When we posed the statement "Vendor takes responsibility for the problem," scores ranged from a 5.68 for HDS down to a 4.72 for Sun.
"The fact that we don't have to worry about a disk going out or something happening helps us sleep at night," says Brown-Forman's Greenleaf about his experiences with EMC's technical support. But Tony Bergen, manager of server technologies for The North West Company Inc., a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based food and merchandise retailer, had a completely different experience with support for his IBM Shark. He says local IBM support staff "didn't seem to be the sharpest knives in the drawer."
Final analysis
Most IT users form an overall opinion about a product based on their varied experiences. To assess these opinions, we examined two different items. The first item, head-to-head analysis, compares the scores a user gave when evaluating two or more different systems. In 2005, IBM and Sun had the highest win rates, coming out on top in 100% of their head-to-head comparisons. But 2006 wasn't as favorable for these vendors, as they trailed the field with 32% win rates. HDS had the highest win rate (63%). In the head-to-head comparison in 2005, EMC was last, but jumped to second place in 2006 with a 53% win rate. HP placed third with a 33% win rate, just barely above that of IBM and Sun.
We also asked respondents to tell us if, all things considered, they'd buy the same system again. "We're familiar with the EMC technology and we didn't really have any compelling reason to move away from it into HDS or IBM," says Greenleaf. Apparently, other respondents shared this sentiment. In roughly two out of three cases or better, respondents indicated they would make the same decision again. Brand loyalty remains high in this category. HDS again led the group in this important indicator with 88.4% positive responses, followed by EMC (79.3%), HP (69.8%), Sun (68.8%) and IBM (62.2%) (see "Would you buy from this vendor again?," at right). Congratulations to HDS for retaining bragging rights for this important category for another year.
About the survey
The Diogenes Labs-Storage magazine Quality Awards are designed to identify and recognize products that have proven their quality and reliability in actual use. The results are derived from a survey of qualified Storage readers who assessed products in five main categories: sales-force competence, product features, initial product quality, product reliability and technical support. Our methodology incorporates statistically valid polling that eliminates market share as a factor. Our objective is to identify the most reliable product on the market regardless of vendor name, reputation or size. Products are rated on a 1.0-8.0 scale, where 8.0 is the most favorable score.
Survey respondents
In this year's enterprise array Quality Award, we tallied 638 valid system evaluations from 371 respondents. This response rate was 24% higher than last year, and yielded a 5% margin of error with a 95% confidence factor. We noted a statistically better distribution of finalists this year, with the number of responses ranging from 138 for EMC Corp. to 32 for Sun Microsystems Inc. The largest number of responses came from the healthcare industry, followed by IT services and financial services; last year, financial services was the largest group. As with all of our earlier surveys, the majority of respondents had operationally oriented titles, with only 6.8% being senior executives (chief information officer or chief technology officer). Respondents were asked to evaluate only those systems with which they had personal experience within the last year.

This transformation is as if the specified sequence of actions was performed exactly once, in the context of the spawned process (prior to execution of the new process image), in the order in which the actions were added to the object; additionally, when the new process image is executed, any file descriptor (from this new set) which has its .Dv FD_CLOEXEC flag set is closed (see .Fn posix_spawn ) . .Pp The .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen function adds an open action to the object referenced by .Fa file_actions that causes the file named by .Fa path to be opened (as if .Bd -literal -offset indent open(path, oflag, mode) .Ed .Pp had been called, and the returned file descriptor, if not .Fa fildes , had been changed to .Fa fildes ) when a new process is spawned using this file actions object. If .Fa fildes was already an open file descriptor, it is closed before the new file is opened. .Pp The string described by .Fa path is copied by the .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen function. .Pp The .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 function adds a dup2 action to the object referenced by .Fa file_actions that causes the file descriptor .Fa fildes to be duplicated as .Fa newfildes (as if .Bd -literal -offset indent dup2(fildes, newfildes) .Ed .Pp had been called) when a new process is spawned using this file actions object. .Pp The .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose function adds a close action to the object referenced by .Fa file_actions that causes the file descriptor .Fa fildes to be closed (as if .Bd -literal -offset indent close(fildes) .Ed .Pp had been called) when a new process is spawned using this file actions object. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, these functions return zero; otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS These functions fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EBADF The value specified by .Fa fildes or .Fa newfildes is negative. .It Bq Er EINVAL The value specified by .Fa file_actions is invalid. .It Bq Er ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to add to the spawn file actions object. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr close 2 , .Xr dup2 2 , .Xr open 2 , .Xr posix_spawn 3 , .Xr posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy 3 , .Xr posix_spawn_file_actions_init 3 , .Xr posix_spawnp 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen , .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 and .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose functions conform to .St -p1003.1-2001 . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen , .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 and .Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose functions first appeared in .Fx 8.0 and imported for .Nx 6.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Ed Schouten Aq Mt email@example.com

Versteeg returns to Blackhawks in trade from Panthersby Brian Hedger
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks had to send Kris Versteeg away not long after winning the 2010 Stanley Cup because of salary-cap concerns. Three years later, they're bringing him back.
The Blackhawks acquired Versteeg from the Florida Panthers on Thursday night in exchange for forward Jimmy Hayes and defenseman Dylan Olsen. They announced the trade minutes after a 5-4 shootout victory against the Phoenix Coyotes at United Center.
As part of the trade the Panthers are retaining half of Versteeg's salary, which according to Capgeek.com will come out to $2.2 million cap hit for Chicago.
"We're really excited," Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. "Looking at our team this year, we're off to a really good start. I think we've come out of the gates the way we wanted to, [but] we're always trying to improve. I think just the experience and versatility he brings to the table [are key], on top of the fact that he's a player our coaches know well and our players are familiar with. He has a lot of energy and competitiveness and he's got great skill level to complement our players, so we think it's a great fit."
Versteeg, 27, has two goals and seven points in 18 games this season with the Panthers. The Lethbridge, Alberta, native has 92 goals and 212 points in 349 regular-season games with Chicago, the Toronto Maple Leafs, Philadelphia Flyers and the Panthers. He had 44 goals and 101 points in 170 games with Chicago from 2007-10 and contributed six goals and 14 points in 22 games during the Blackhawks' championship run in 2010.
Bowman also thinks Versteeg can help on special teams; the Blackhawks are near the bottom of the NHL in penalty-killing. It's one of the few areas of concern thus far in an otherwise impressive start.
"Looking at our team, we felt like adding one more versatile forward to our group [was important]," Bowman said. "Kris, we obviously know him well from his years here and his ability to play a couple different spots for us. He's certainly capable of playing on the top line. He's been doing that the last couple years in Florida, but we have a lot of depth at forward, so we can use Kris in a couple different places."
The Blackhawks' top two lines have been very good of late, especially the top unit of Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. The third line, however, has a hole at right wing.
That's where former Blackhawks forward Viktor Stalberg played all of last season before joining the Nashville Predators as a free agent. Stalberg originally came to Chicago in a trade that sent Versteeg to the Maple Leafs following the Blackhawks' championship celebration three years ago.
"We've got a few young guys that are getting better as time goes on here, but bringing a player back who's been with us and understands what it takes, obviously, he's been through the grind of a playoff," Bowman said. "He understands the sacrifices you have to make as a player and I think he really has taken on a different role since he left here. He's been a top line guy in the couple places he's played. Here he has the ability to move around in our lineup. That flexibility gives the coaching staff a lot of options."
Chicago, which sent rookies Jeremy Morin and Alex Broadhurst to the minors after the game, also acquired minor-league forward Philippe Lefebrve from the Panthers. Lefebrve will report to the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL. Lefebrve, 22, has recorded two goals and six points in eight games this season with the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones.
Versteeg will be at practice Friday morning.
Hayes, 23, has six goals and 13 points in 43 NHL games with the Blackhawks, as well as 35 goals and 76 points in 120 American Hockey League games with the Rockford IceHogs. Olsen, 22, has appeared in 28 games with the Blackhawks, earning one assist. He has six goals and 30 points in 152 games with the IceHogs.
Hayes was a second-round pick (No. 60) by the Maple Leafs in 2008. Olsen was Chicago's first-round selection (No. 28) in the 2009 NHL Draft.
"We are pleased to welcome both Jimmy and Dylan to the Panthers," Florida GM Dale Tallon said in a statement. "Jimmy is a young, strong, hardworking, versatile forward who brings both size and skill to our team. Dylan, a former first-round draft pick, is a young, solid defenseman who adds further depth to our blue line. We thank Kris for his contributions to the Panthers, including helping us win 2011-12 Southeast Division Championship, and wish him the best of luck in his return to Chicago."

- September 2011: Vietnam Solar Serve was introduced to a Social Entrepreneurs Support Program (CSIP). Their aim was to identify and support social entrepreneurs at their early stages of development. Mr Bich, the director, felt to participate in this program along with 200 other entrepreneurs in Vietnam. There were three rounds. In each round participants dropped out and finally Mr. Bich had to stand in front of a panel. The result was made known on the first of September. Thet had chosen Mr. Bich as the best social entrepreneur 2011. It came along with 20,000 dollars worth as seed money to strengthen and to develop Solar Serve.
- July 2011: Vietnam Solar Serve has been recently contacted by a tourist agency in southern Vietnam. They are seriously thinking about establishing several solar villages. They asked us if we could help them with solar cooking portion of the project. Several years ago VSS provided a small village near Marble Mountains with many solar cookers. It attracted many people and several reports were written in the newspapers. Due to government development plans however, this village has been recently removed.

- July 2009: With assistance from donors and the help of many volunteers, Solar Serve completed construction of its new center in Danang last summer. The center was dedicated in June 2008 at a ceremony attended by over 120 people that included a solar meal prepared by Solar Serve staff and volunteers. The new center will be used for solar cooker construction and storage, training, and research. In cooperation with the Danang University, Solar Serve is working to make the village of Hoa Quy a solar cooking model for the region around Danang and beyond. An initial distribution of several dozen solar box cookers and 20 parabolic cookers has occurred, and, according to Solar Serve, "The locals love it. They are using the solar cookers by themselves and do not need our help anymore. Articles in national and local newspapers appeared and there was also a short local TV report." Solar Serve has also begun raising awareness in Quang Tri province, and has trained and provided solar cookers to over 40 families.

- June 2008: This year Solar Serve organized the International Environment Day in a small village near their center. Some officials from the Environment department were invited and the locals were happy to show and cook with their cookers. It took awhile before the sun broke through, but they were able to cook after 10 o'clock. It was very rewarding. A combination of box cookers and parabolic cookers seems to be very successful. The locals loved it, even after this day when they were approached by the media without any involvement from us. The cookers could stand the test. They are planning to provide more solar cookers in order to make this village a good model for using solar cookers.

- April 2008: Solar Serve has also been asked to make their parabolic cooker smaller for transport. They used the same mold of their present parabolic cooker (1.30m) and divided it in four parts. It took some time, but they came up with the cooker you see in the picture. They also made the stand foldable. The new four-part parabolic cooker is working well and weights only 23 kg. It fits in 100 x 80 x 20 cm carton boxes, which is good for transport. The deaf workers were very excited when they already got some orders from Canada and Holland.

- March 2008: In early 2007 the non-profit Solar Serve (SLS) organization was prematurely evicted from its solar cooker factory in Tamky. Though unfortunate, the incident created an opportunity to move the factory to Da Nang, which is more suitable for transport, materials acquisition, marketing, and access to labor. A search for a suitable building was unfruitful, and the financially difficult decision was made to purchase land for a new factory. In August, SLS acquired a 420-square-meter tract of land big enough for a factory and additional space for research and storage. It is located behind the Marble Mountains area, along the beach and the new road to Hoi An. SLS worked with an architect to design the building, which will house the factory on the first floor, and a show room and training rooms on the second floor. Construction of the building began in November, and by the end of December the foundation had been laid and the exterior walls framed. Work continues on the interior walls and fixtures.
- SLS has a small budget, and didn't have the funds necessary to purchase the land or pay construction costs. Though SLS doesn't solicit donations directly, it received financial support from a variety of sources: "Friends and unknown people, individuals like a handicapped person, a former drug addict, an embassy worker, a single mother, an older couple who gave their anniversary gift, leaders from an organization, a church, support of a fair and secondhand sale, a sponsor walk, dozens of companies, poor, rich and also children." SLS was overwhelmed with the generosity, and "felt like solar cookers bathing in beams of warmth and love. It was a miracle."

- July 2007: In partnership with Dutch organization Solar Cooker Workgroup Sliedrecht NL, Vietnam Solar Serve (SLS) has developed a new solar box cooker for use in Vietnam. The previous SLS solar box cooker is made from wood, which is increasing difficult to purchase in Vietnam. The new cooker is made from aluminum sheets that are shaped using two molds, one for the inner box and one for the outer box.

- November 2006: This year, the Solar Serve organization has been introducing solar cookers to the Raglai minority south of Phan Rang. Many Raglai cut and sell firewood for a living, and were a little hesitant to try solar cooking. They warmed to the idea over time. Solar Serve organized workshops, trained a person to conduct follow-up house visits, and ultimately provided 100 solar box cookers and 30 concentrator-type solar cookers to the community. One kind Vietnamese donor provided funds for 20 of the solar cookers. To celebrate International Environment Day, 70 Raglai solar cooked a feast of fish, beef, vegetables, rice, and curry for dozens of people, including some local authorities. Contact: Nguyen Tan Bich

- November 2005: The Vietnam Solar Serve organization reports overwhelming response to a nationally broadcast television documentary of their work promoting solar cookers around Da Nang, including many requests to bring solar cooking to southern areas of the country. As a result, Solar Serve conducted several workshops in Phan Rang, an area that is "like a desert. Hot, dry and sandy." Water contamination is rampant, according to Vietnam Solar Serve. "There is no clean water available but dirty river water has been pumped into an open drain system. Every day people are using this water for cooking, drinking and washing." High levels of illiteracy forced the Solar Serve staff to be creative in their workshops, in which participants ultimately assembled 100 solar box cookers and several parabolic cookers. A two-day celebration at the end of the workshops drew over 100 people, who feasted on solar-cooked fish, beef, curry, vegetables and rice.

- Other media coverage and requests for assistance followed on the heels of the television documentary. "The first article was in a major newspaper. People from all over the country started to call the paper. It was so overwhelming that they published a second article and asked the people to contact us directly if they had further questions. From that day we received many telephone calls and a stream of visitors. It was hard who to answer first, the call or the visitor. Almost 100 people wanted to buy a parabolic solar cooker and others wanted us to set up a project with the solar box cookers. Amazing!" To meet the rising demand for solar cookers in Vietnam, Solar Serve will form a new entity to make solar cookers available for sale. The proceeds from cooker sales will directly support the work of Solar Serve. Contact: Nguyen Tan Bich

The Secret Of Good Nutrition
You are well aware that superior nutrition is essential for optimal physical and mental health. Many health problems can often be largely due to poor nutrition.
Obviously nutrition is too important to neglect, but do you have the knowledge to provide adequately your nutrition needs, or those of your family? What's the secret?

Put away the speculation because we have a new No. 1 for the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft. And without little suspense, this thing came down to a two-team race and only one winner.
But before we celebrate this year's big winner (and sorry there's no Andrew Luck or even an RG3 for you), let's take a look at some of the other contenders who failed to even crack the bottom six.
And we'll start with the San Diego Chargers. This was really their last chance to crack the list because next season when Jon Gruden (hopefully) takes the reigns in San Diego, they will no longer be able to compete for the Alt Ranks.
Unlike the Jets, who made a huge push down the stretch. The Jets had the chance for greatness (who can forget the Butt Fumble?), but a disastrous stretch in the middle of the season with wins over the Cardinals and Jaguars (two highly loseable games), kept them out of the big race.
Ditto for the Arizona Cardinals, easily one of the top teams down the stretch. If not for a horrific 4-0 start to the 2012 season, the Cardinals could have made a real push for the top spot. But there's always next year, guys. And seriously, if the Cardinals don't follow my mantra of "Everybody to Arizona" then they are your current frontrunner for 2014.
But firing Ken Whisenhunt shows this team is poised to make a run for it next year.
And without further ado ...
The Browns finished in the sixth spot, thanks in no small part to Thad Lewis, who started in Week 17 against the Steelers. The Browns also benched Trent Richardson, too. Brilliant move. No need to risk the future in a somewhat meaningless game. The Browns move up the draft to get a better draft pick, and Richardson doesn't risk further injury. Don't look for the Browns to even sniff this list next year, they are on the rise.
You could argue the Lions were the hottest team down the stretch with eight consecutive losses, including an inspired performance against the Cardinals. Not many coaches could have wasted another great season of Matthew Stafford and the best single-season performance by a receiver from Calvin Johnson. The Lions were serious contenders, but again, fell just short. Can't wait to see which receiver they burn this pick on next year, because a upgrade to the secondary would just be silly.
Vince Young was nearly correct; this was close to being a dream team in the Alt Ranks. (See what I did there?) The Eagles' season ended in another disappointment and Coach Andy Reid was fired. A lot depends on who will be brought in, but a Ray Rhodes-type of hire and the Eagles could be a darkhorse in the Alt Ranks for 2014.
The Raiders post-Al Davis have look a lot like the Raiders during Al Davis, only worse. Kind of like the Blues Brothers 2000 with Jim Belushi. One thing which could hurt the Raiders in 2013 is Terrelle Pryor, who showed a lot of promise. If the Raiders want to be No. 1 in the 2014 NFL Draft, Matt Leinart is the only option.
The Jaguars had another great season in the Alt Ranks. One down spot for the Jags was the play of Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon, whose great play could have made the team a winner in 2013. But there are positive reports about the team making a bid for Tim Tebow, which would negate all the offensive prowess of Shorts, Blackmon and the hopeful return of Maurice Jones-Drew.
Congratulations to coach Romeo Crennel who took a team some (all right just me probably) thought could be a super contender and took them the complete opposite way to No. 1 ⦠the No. 1 pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. Congratulations coach, this was well earned.

Can sleeping with your pet make you sick?
Sleeping with your pet can make you sick.
Letting your dog or cat lick you can do the same thing, says a team of veterinarians at the University of California-Davis school of veterinary medicine.
But before you banish Fido or Fluffy to the laundry room at night, be aware that there are "howevers" involved in the report, which is being published in the February issue of the public health journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
More on that later.
But first consider the report, which was the subject of a story in a recent edition of HealthDay News.
It says that seemingly healthy pets can carry parasites, bacteria or viruses that cause mild to life-threatening illness in people.
Of the 250 zoonotic diseases – infections transmitted between animals and people – more than 100 are derived from domestic pets, says Dr. Bruno Chomel, report co-author.
Even though disease transmission is low in comparison to how many people sleep with their pets – more than half of all U.S. pet owners – Chomel says the risks are still there.
"Having a pet in the bed is not a good idea," he concludes.
Now for the licking part.
Healthday cited the case a 69-year-old man, whose dog slept under the covers with him and licked his hip replacement wound, and came down with meningitis.
Another incident: A 9-year-old boy got plague from sleeping with his flea-infested cat.
Other infections transmitted to people after sleeping with their cat or dog, kissing them or being licked by the pet include hookworm, ringworm, roundworm, cat scratch disease and drug-resistant staph infections, the report says.
But now for those "howevers," the first of which comes from Dr. Apryl Steele, a veterinarian at Tender Touch Animal Hospital in Denver.
"Diseases people can get from pets really are preventable," says Steele, who is the president-elect of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association.
"Take a pet to a veterinarian at least annually," she suggests. "If you have a healthy pet and are not immune-compromised, risk of disease transmission will be minimized."
Colorado residents are fortunate not to have to wrestle with flea infestations, Steele says. Fleas are a major disease carrier but the climate here is not hospitable to them.
Parasites that are sometimes present in Colorado include heartworms and hookworms, but those problem can be controlled with medication, she adds.
And licking? Steele answers bluntly: "Internal parasites are fecally/orally transmitted. Dogs do lick their butts."
Healthday interviewed Dr. Peter Rabinowitz of the Yale School of Medicine, who is co-author of the textbook "Human-Animal Medicine: Clinical Approaches to Zoonoses, Toxicants and Other Shared Health Risks."
Rabinowitz says owners can stay healthy by practicing good hygiene habits, which include washing hands with soap and hot water after handling pets, especially puppies, kittens or any aged cat or dog with diarrhea. Those "high-risk pets," he says, are more likely to harbor an infection that could be passed to people.
He also advises immediately washing areas licked by a pet.
Rabinowitz offers this final "however": While people need to be aware that it's possible to get sick from a pet, the health benefits of ownership far outweigh the risks. Research has shown that besides offering psychological support and friendship, pets help to lower blood pressure, increase physical activity, reduce stress and lift owners' spirits, among other things.
Or as Steele put it: "Just use common sense."
Animal tracks – Thr battle against puppy mills (and kitten factories) has taken another step in Fort Collins, according to a story in the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
Proponents of banning the sale of animals in that city's pet stores met their deadline Friday (Jan. 28) for filing petitions aimed at placing the proposal on the April municipal ballot.
If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, backers believe the proposal will strike a blow against large commercial breeders who raise animals in often inhumane circumstances to sell to pet stores. . . .
Adopt a Shelter Pet license plates are available starting this month at your local Division of Motor Vehicles office. Each time a Coloradan purchases a new Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate, $30 will go to the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund, and each annual renewal of the plate generates $23 for the Fund. This money will be used to provide grants for spay/neuter surgeries and medical care for animals in Colorado shelters and rescues where the need is the greatest. . . .
The Denver Municipal Animal Shelter is holding a special match-making event the day before Valentine's Day. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 13, the shelter will open for adoptions only, and offer reduced adoption fees ($85 for dogs, $50 for cats, $10 for small animals). Doors will open at 10:30 a.m., and adoptions will begin at 11 a.m. Information: www.denvergov.org/DenverAnimalShelter or (303) 698-0076.
A pit bull art show is being held Friday (Feb. 4) from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 738 Santa Fe Drive in Denver (located in the back of Smoke Art Glass). It will feature the work of local artists who oppose Denver's breed-specific legislatiom banning pitbulls in the city. Admission is free.

Getting cows off their feet and into well-designed stalls can improve hoof health by leaps and bounds.
Overcrowding is a killer, indicated Jack Rodenburg, CowSignals Master Trainer in Ontario. Cows should not have to wait to lie down or to eat!
Source: Hoard's Dairyman
Full article:
It has been called the most visible animal well-being problem in dairying today — lameness. It's costly, ugly and impairs longevity. If it was easy to fix, we wouldn't have a plethora of experts analyzing the problem and devising solutions. Everyone in the dairy industry should understand the seriousness and need for a full-court press effort to minimize it. That is why industry specialists were brought together at a Dairy Facility Design conference organized by the BC Dairy Hoof Health Group in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Jack Rodenburg: Overcrowding a killer
Cows should not have to wait to lie down or to eat!
Although the conference focused on housing, John Dick, a dairy veterinarian, and nutritionist Brian Janzen made it clear that nutritional contributors to lameness must also be addressed. Both indicated that SARA (subacute ruminal acidosis), resulting from high-energy diets or sorting, can cause laminitis.
Overcrowding a killer
If cows aren't lying down for the desired 12 hours per day, they are standing too much, putting strain on the suspension structures within the hoof. If they are standing on soft surfaces, presumably the strain is less, but unforgiving concrete floors are the norm in facilities.
There's another complication
Overcrowding is a killer, indicated dairy consultant Jack Rodenburg, CowSignals Master Trainer in Ontario. Cows should not have to wait to lie down or to eat! This suggests one stall per cow in each group and 30 inches of linear feedbunk space per cow. Bunk space becomes critically reduced in three- and four-row freestall designs, raising the wait time for feeding.
There's another complication. If cows are routinely waiting to eat, and the TMR permits sorting, the first cows to feed can often get more than their share of grain and the resulting effects of SARA. Designing your facility to allow one stall per cow and 30 inches of bunk space may seem costly at the outset, but it is likely to lower costs associated with elevated lameness and reduced longevity.
He further states that, as competition for feeding space hikes, more displacements occur, especially when only a rail is used along the feedbunk. Timid and younger cows are often the ones left waiting. Standing time should also be kept to a minimum for milking and special events like vet check.
Put thought into the design of your dairy facilities to ensure use of key elements,
such as footbaths, by cows and employees.
Concrete leads to wear
Hoof trimmer Hugh Smythe shared his views on the damaging effects of aggressively textured concrete floors which can cause excessive wear and/or injury. Following the same theme, ag engineer Harold House described the need for floors to have sufficient traction but not rough, broken, sharp or crowned surfaces.
higher lameness rates are associated with the use of automatic alley scrapers
House notes that cows prefer walking on rubber flooring, which can be very beneficial, when it has adequate texture and softness for good footing. Fasteners that may be used to anchor the rubber can cause injury to hooves, should they become exposed over time.
Concrete that started out with perfect texturing can be worn smooth with scraping, which causes slipping and makes cows more tentative as they move. Remedies include "retexturing," cutting grooves in a variety of patterns and covering with rubber. Barns that use sand bedding have the advantage of grit on the floor at all times.
Dan Weary of the University of British Columbia reported that several studies have revealed higher lameness rates are associated with the use of automatic alley scrapers. That seems counterintuitive since this equipment tends to clean alleys more frequently than manual methods, meaning there should be less manure accumulation.
One theory for this considers the added risk of poor hygiene (elevated pathogen exposure — digital dermatitis), which comes from the "manure tsunami" as the scraper builds more slurry farther down the alley. Another explanation could be the elevated risk of physical injury when cows are stepping on, over or around the scraper, especially when they are rushed or crowded and not comfortable avoiding it.
A third idea points to the slight layer of slurry which is almost always present on the floor due, in part, to the reduced floor slope typical in barns designed for scrapers. Perhaps running the scrapers more frequently could reduce the size of the tsunami, and running it when cows are out for milking could be of some benefit.
Special needs for dry cows
deep-bedded packs with good traction surfaces beneath
Dry cows were once treated like third-class citizens — they would get the leftovers of facilities and feed because they weren't milking. Much has evolved as we have gained better insight into the importance of good dry cow management as it impacts a successful calving and lactation. Modern building designs incorporate well-planned areas for dry, close-up and fresh cows.
Where freestalls are used, House indicates that 54-inch width is best to permit adequate comfort and to encourage maximum lying time. Overcrowding is again problematic when it reduces lying time and impedes maximizing dry matter intake.
The use of bedding packs for this group is more common, and both Rodenburg and House are fans of deep-bedded packs with good traction surfaces beneath. A minimum of 100 square feet per cow should be allotted. Rodenburg further recommends that cows be calved in clean, comfortable pens adjacent to the close-up group to minimize separation stress, which can also reduce intakes.
Hormones produced at calving time can cause a relaxing of ligaments and tendons in the foot, elevating the susceptibility to injury inside the hoof capsule, making ample lying time a critical factor through this period. Many new dairy facilities recognize the value of a transition group, with either a pack or well-bedded freestalls affording extra comfort and no competition. This will benefit fresh cow hoof health by maximizing lying time, while hormone levels return to normal.
Treatment areas should always be well-lit, safe, familiar, have good traction and be easy to access. This is especially true for hoof trimming chutes, which become vital in the "early recruitment, early treatment" strategy. They should be located in a convenient area off the parlor, using an auto sort gate to conveniently separate cows needing attention.
Rodenburg's ideas on proper footbaths
While most dairies have made efforts to use footbaths, far fewer have effective ones or use them diligently. Like most things in life, the outcome usually correlates to the effort put in. An old-style footbath used once in a while, and left dirty the rest of the time, just doesn't cut it.
Rodenburg shared ideas on proper footbaths, which must be at least 9 feet long to force each foot to dunk twice on the way through. The walls of the chute or alley must be solid and tapered down so there is no curb that could be used to escape the solution. Proper solutions and dilutions should be discussed with your advisers. New technology on the market makes the filling, dosing and cleaning function automatic, which is sure to boost the success rate.
The economics and optics of lameness are serious, and every producer should take advantage of the expertise available to assess their herd and to develop a comprehensive plan which will yield desirable results.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo? Note: Submitted comments must include specific references from the 2011 NEC.
Hint: Warm and Fuzzy
Find the Answer
Our three winners this month were: Jesse Gatewood, training director, IBEW, Corpus Christi, Texas; Alan Cardwell, P.E., electrical engineering consultant, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Eads, Tenn.; and David Engelhart, electrical plans examiner, building review and permitting, Growth Management Division, Collier County, Naples, Fla. They all correctly identified problems with this outdoor receptacle.
According to 314.15, "in damp or wet locations, boxes, conduit bodies and fittings shall be placed or equipped so as to prevent moisture from entering or accumulating within the box, conduit body, or fitting."
The conduit doesn't appear to be securely fastened as it should be according to 300.11(A) and 352.30(A). In addition, 314.23(B) requires "rigid" support of enclosure; although the enclosure is perhaps adequately fastened to the post, the "support" of the outlet box along with its raceway is not a "rigid" support.
The receptacle should be a GFCI type unit [210.8(A)(3) or 210.8(B)(4)]. It should also be securely fastened in place as per 406.5. Section 406.9(B)(1) requires 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles to have a weatherproof enclosure — whether or not the attachment plug cap is inserted. The receptacle should be identified as a "WR" (weather-resistant) type. Depending on the location of this installation, if an outlet box hood is used for weather protection, the enclosure supported from grade per 314.23(B) requires an "extra-duty" type listed hood.

Boxer Lewis slams headgear rule
Angry Australian welterweight Daniel Lewis has slammed the no-headgear rule, claiming it cost him a medal when he was deemed unfit to fight his Commonwealth Games quarter-final.
The 21-year-old from Sydney appeared a strong medal chance but he was ruled out on Wednesday because a nasty cut over his right eye had failed to heal sufficiently.
He blamed the Amateur International Boxing Association's controversial decision last year to do away with headguards in competition.
"For all these people debating about headgear for amateurs, bring the headgear back 100 per cent," said Lewis on Twitter.
"When you have to fight five times in a week this shit ruin's people's dreams.
"Got up at 6am this morning to lose weight.
"I made it and was ready to go to war only to be told by the doctor my journey is over.
"They won't let me fight with the cut. I had two fights, two comfortable wins with one TKO and a stupid elbow ruins it all.
"My mum and dad paid to fly to the other side of the world to watch me win gold.
"The past 10 weeks I've been away from everyone putting in the hard work, all for an elbow to ruin my dream."
Lewis had been due to fight India's Mandeep Jangra on Wednesday night when a win would have guaranteed him a medal.
But he was denied by the cut caused by an elbow in his second round win over Kehinde Ademuyiwa.
Shelley Watts was the standout fighter on a disappointing day for the Australian boxing team, powering into the women's lightweight quarter-finals by stopping Isabelle Ratna of Mauritius in the second round.
"I'm going to bring the gold medal back for every single one of you in Australia and I'm bringing it back for me, too," Watts declared before the ringside camera.
Watts is one of three Australian fighters now guaranteed a medal, which is a significant improvement on Delhi four years ago when the team finished empty-handed.
"There was a lot of talk about Boxing Australia's performance in Delhi and the whole team set a goal for themselves," she said.
"We wanted to bring some medals home for Australia because Australians have been so supportive of us."
Heavyweight hope Jai Opetaia's hopes of a first Australian Commonwealth Games heavyweight gold since 2006 ended with a points defeat to rugged Nigerian Efetobor Apochi.
Australian coach Don Abnett was at a loss to explain what happened to his fighter.
"He trained really well and has spent 10 weeks preparing for these Games," Abnett said.
"The other guy was a very physically strong opponent and I think that took a lot out of him towards the end of the fight."
Australia's Kristy Harris lost her women's flyweight fight.
Kaye Scott is also out after losing to Lauren Price of Wales in the women's middleweight division.

As a stay-at-home dad, you begin noticing things that you missed when you were busy climbing the corporate ladder and making your mark in the world.
For one thing, you begin to take the idea behind the euphemism "domestic engineering" a little more seriously. You understand it on a realistic level, managing your home with the precision of an engineer. One example is seeing your finances in a new way.
Instead of merely paying the bills reflexively, you begin to pay them reflectively. In other words, you reflect on how to make bills more affordable. When you think about it, you can save on expenses like car insurance, car fuel, utilities, and grocery bills.
Let's take a quick look at how you can pay less for the same quality of life:
1. How to Save on Car Insurance
You are most likely buying the insurance you do because you saw an advertisement. You took them at their word because it was more convenient than to do your own research.
However, you might be able to get an even better deal by shopping around.
If you plan to buy a new car, compare insurance costs on different types of vehicles before buying. And if you plan to stick with an older car, maybe it's time to reduce coverage.
After you've found a better insurance provider, you can save still further by paying higher deductibles to secure lower premiums. You might also be eligible for discounts because you've maintained a good credit history and driving record. Since you might be traveling less, you could look into getting a low mileage discount.
2. How to Save on Fuel when Driving
While you have no control over how much you pay at the pump other than driving around to find cheaper gas stations, you do have a lot of control when it comes to your driving habits. Here's the thing: by adopting specific driving habits you can save on how much fuel you need to use at the pump.
Here are three ways you can consume less gas when driving:
- · Slow down. If you drive at the posted driving speed, you'll not only save on speeding tickets, but you'll save on gas because the faster you drive, the greater the aerodynamic drag. If you drive at 62 mph rather than 75 mph your car will consume 15% less gas.
- · Prefer a more uniform speed. Drive at a steady speed, and use cruise control when traveling on long, open stretches. Constantly switching speeds consumes more gas.
- · Reduce how often you brake hard. If you're slowing down and cruising, you have more control of your car, which means that you can anticipate the flow of traffic, accelerate slower and brake more gently. This pattern of driving might increase your fuel economy as much as 20 percent.
3. How to Save on Utilities
You may live in a state that gives consumers a choice when it comes to electricity providers. If you do, take advantage of the deregulatory scheme and shop around.
Other things you can do are change the way your house consumes energy and your own habits when it comes to energy savings. You can insulate your attic, water heater, outlets and switches. You can apply weather stripping to regulate internal temperatures. And you can install a programmable thermostat and a low-flow shower head.
In terms of habits, you can use a bowl or sink to rinse your razor when shaving instead of running faucet water, turn off the lights when you leave the room, and pack the dishwasher before running it.
4. How to Save on Grocery Bills
You've probably noticed that the price of groceries has been creeping up since the financial crisis in 2007. It's not enough to make you want to picket your supermarket for more humane pricing, but you do pay more for less.
Here are some things you can do to slash your grocery bills:
- · Quit buying food whenever you run short. Instead make a plan, by preparing a weekly menu. Your kids will appreciate the predictability. This way, you will tend to run out of things at about the same time and you just need to shop once a week to replenish your fridge.
- · Cut back on things that you don't really need to buy. We're talking about snacks, treats, or new products that you want to try out.
- · Simplify your meal plan to three meals a day, or six small meals if you prefer. Don't buy a surplus of food for snacking.
- · Once you've developed a food plan, just repeat it. Naturally, a little variation is fine, but you want to focus on identifying the best foods and sticking to those selected choices instead of trying to come up with something original each week.
- · By developing a food plan, you'll get wise to the best places to buy, what generic products are as good as the leading brands, and what to stock up on.
Save More To Live Better
As consumers, we often equate cost with value. In many cases, this still holds true. But in others, you can get the same or even better value at a lower cost. By saving money on basic costs, you'll have more available for living better.

President Barack Obama was one of the officials who leaked that he was on the verge of naming Larry Summers to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair of the Federal Reserve, according to a column Monday by progressive columnist Robert Kuttner.
According to Kuttner, in a follow-up email, a reliable source told him the president mentioned Summers on background to a small group of the press.
The carefully orchestrated campaign went awry because of a massive backlash from Senate Democrats, Kuttner said.
At the daily press briefing Monday, White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest declined to comment on Obama's deliberations in picking a Fed chair.
Kuttner, who has long decried the influence of Robert Rubin on the Democratic Party, sees the former Treasury secretary as the puppet-master at the center of the race for Fed chairman.
In a blog on the Huffington Post, Kuttner said Rubin and his allies would never accept Yelllen as Fed chief because she is too independent and not friendly enough to Wall Street.
So with Summers' candidacy damaged, Rubin will look for another viable candidate.
"If Rubin, Summers and their allies run true to form, they will be frantically looking for a plausible woman candidate who is closer to Wall Street than Yellen," Kuttner said.
"It's increasingly clear that the game here is to block Yellen," Kuttner said.
