Why Budaj and Koci? Why not? They're family.
PHILADELPHIA – So I was hanging out at my dear Aunt Lydia and Uncle Richard's house tonight, along with cousins Stephen, Lee and Elizabeth. My aunt and uncle have lived in the house I'm typing in now for at least the last 37 years, that I can recall, and it's one of those places you most fondly remember as a kid.
For me, it always seemed like Disneyland or something. There was a big TV that got channels that showed a lot of games, including an early version of HBO-style TV with a channel called Prism. To be able to watch 1974 Philadelphia Phillies games, in color, in their turf! It was always amazing to me. Don't forget: kids like me got to see maybe one game a week sometimes on TV – on Saturday afternoons – and that was often it. There were always good snacks in the cupboard and in the freezer. Always another fudgesicle in the freezer to have.
So it's been great to have a night with family you hardly ever get to see anymore. That, indeed, can be a perk of this job. And also a curse, because it takes you away too much from your immediate family.
In a roundabout – very very roundabout way – the concept of family and familiarity leads me into the Avalanche's two signings today: Peter Budaj and David Koci – back again.
Budaj, let's face it, has been Avalanche family for the last five years or so. He's familiar, he's competent enough at what he does, and so the Avs have chosen to spend more time with him, at least another year at a $1.25 million salary.
David Koci will be paid $575,000 to try and be not so warm and family-like to the opposition for another year. I know a lot of you are saying "KOCI??????? How did this happen again?"
And the answer is: because he's familiar by now, because he was OK at what he did and it's better to keep it in the family than go outside of it when you really have no idea what you might be getting.
Listen, I could go the other way, easily, on these signings. Boods, again? Really? I could go there.
Same with Coach.
But I'm going to just chalk it up to this being a case of keeping it in the family and that's it.
I'll have a big story on Lappy tomorrow in the paper. He thought he was family in Denver and wouldn't be going anywhere. But he learned again that business comes first in hockey. Family? Only in fairytales.
– Here's a column about the experience of being in the building last night for Game 3 in Philly.
– Here's the link to a podcast I did yesterday with the notorious Eklund, from hockeybuzz.com, along with another person from the site, Julie Robenhymer.
I probably will be excommunicated from the professional hockey writers association for consorting with Eklund, but he's a nice guy who has led a very interesting life and I admire the guy's pluck. No, the site doesn't always bat 1,000 on trade or other predictions coming true, but, hey, he's into the sport big-time, is an industrious, entrepreneurial sort and I like him personally. So there.

Billings Area
Important information regarding health care services for the Billings urban Indian population
Press Release – October 24, 2018
Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center opens to serve the Billings urban Indian population
The Billings Area Indian Health Service (IHS) provides Public Health, Environmental Health, Health care services and community-based disease prevention services to more than 70,000 American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people in Montana and Wyoming. These services are delivered through six IHS-operated Service Units, two tribally-operated health departments, and five Urban Indian health programs, administratively supported by a regional office located in downtown Billings, Montana. Our mission is to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of AI/AN to the highest level possible. We are committed to accomplishing this through strong partnerships with Montana and Wyoming Tribal Leadership and other health care partners serving the AI/AN population in these two States.
The Billings Area IHS continually strives for quality health care services through federally and tribally-administered Service Units and programs, which are accredited by the Joint Commission for our hospitals, Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care for our free-standing ambulatory facilities, or, as an alternative through certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for meeting Medicare Hospital Quality Standards, often referred to as Conditions of Participation. We focus on quality of care standards through the Governing Boards responsible for the operations of each of our health care facilities.
Tribal Governments have authorities available to them under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, to directly administer IHS health programs and services through tribally-established programs, taking over those programs and services administered by the IHS. The Billings Area IHS is fully committed to supporting Tribes when these authorities are activated, and strives to maintain strong ongoing relationships with Tribes.
The Billings Area IHS is committed to building strong partnerships with Tribal Governments, Tribal Communities, and Indian people residing in the Billings Area service delivery area; Montana and Wyoming. Often working through formal consultation processes coordinated by the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council and meetings with Tribal Councils and Tribal Leaders at the local level, the Billings Area is joining together to improve the health status of our patients and members of our Tribal Communities.
The committed and dedicated staff of the Billings Area strives daily to improve the quality of health care delivery, and to increase access to health care services. Supporting our staff efforts, the Billings Area Leadership strives to be accessible and responsive to those we serve, our Tribal Leaders, and collaborating health care partners.

Director, Billings Area IHS

Colorado QB Liufau comfortable with Jeromy Irwin protecting his blind side
BOULDER — Colorado's new starter at offensive left tackle did not play a down in 2013. But Buffs quarterback Sefo Liufau said he has trust that Jeromy Irwin, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound third-year sophomore, will do the job.
"I trust Jeromy a lot," Liufau said. "I got to know him over the spring and summer. He's a big guy. I trust him on my blind side."
Irwin hails from the Houston area and is the brother of CU starting tight end Sean Irwin. Recruited by then CU coach Jon Embree, Jeromy played in 10 games in 2012 as a true freshman and graded 75 percent on his blocks.
He redshirted in 2013 after suffering a stress fracture in his foot while doing some yard work during the summer.
Liufau said Irwin did not show any rust from sitting out last season. Colorado opens Friday night against Colorado State in the Rocky Mountain Showdown at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
"He looks like he's played a couple of years," Liufau said. "That's exciting to see. He's good in the run and the pass game. I have no worries with him over there."

Let me present my problem on this case:
Running this program in cmd, it simply prints out 10 numbers, each in new line. Their first digits are aligned.int number = 0;
for(int i=1; i<11; i++){
number = (int) (Math.random()* 100);
System.out.println(" " + number);
What am I trying to do is to align their last digits.
I couldn't find any advanced parameters in "System.out.println" to set.
Is there another "out-printing" method in java that I can use?
(keep in mind, that I have to run this program in cmd)
Any help would be very apriciated

Usually, you need to hit the horror section if you want a movie to scare your pants off, but that's not always the case.

Album reviews: John Mayer, Jimmy Buffett, Ty Segall, more
John Mayer, "Paradise Valley", Columbia, HHH
On last year's "Born and Raised," John Mayer dipped himself into California, circa early '70s, especially the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter scene. Following throat surgeries and recovery, its follow-up, co-produced by Detroit native Don Was, finds Mayer in a Montana state of mind -- both on the album cover but also in the wide-open, anything-goes attitude of these 11 tracks. There's a twangy ambiance throughout the set thanks to pedal steel master Paul Franklin's presence on a few of the songs, as well as an overall gentleness that makes the tunes sound like they're being sung around a campfire or on a front porch. The opening "Wildfire," with its hand-clapping good-time feel, is about as rowdy as "Paradise Valley" gets, although the 90-second mid-album reprise with Frank Ocean is considerably more subtle. He and Katy Perry essentially come clean about their relationship with their shoulder-shrugging duet "Who You Love," while "Paper Doll," Mayer's supposed retort to Taylor Swift's "Dear John," jabs lightly at its subject. A cover of the late J.J. Cale's "Call Me the Breeze" sounds more wheat field than Lynyrd Skynyrd's roadhouse take, and the closing "On the Way Home" is a folky soundtrack for last call. Mayer seems to be measuring the cost of his chosen craft these days -- "I got that dream but you got yourself a family," he tells a former lover in "Dear Marie" -- but he's also turned in some of his most peaceful music yet.
Jimmy Buffett, "Songs From St. Somewhere" (Mailboat) HH 1/2
Jimmy Buffett specializes in states of mind as much as songs -- evidence the enduring "Margaritaville" or new material such as "Somethin' 'Bout a Boat," "I Want to Go Back to Cartagena" and the Toby Keith-assisted "Too Drunk to Karaoke." The 16 tracks here are mostly a soundtrack to time spent wastin' away, although Buffett, who wrote or co-wrote 11 of the songs, remains a sophisticated songsmith with a taste for exceptional other writers such as Will Kimbrough, Jesse Winchester and Mark Knopfler, who also plays on two tracks including his own "Oldest Surfer on the Beach." "St. Somewhere" isn't quite as consistent as 2009's "Buffett Hotel," but it's a perfectly fine fix between boat drinks for any Parrothead worth his or her feathers.

All Five Spartan Starters Earn All-Big Ten Recognition
Jim Donatelli
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Fresh off its Big Ten Championship, the Michigan State women's basketball team was well represented on the postseason All-Big Ten teams. All five Spartan starters earned all-conference recognition, led by redshirt freshman Aerial Powers being named to the First Team.
Michigan State was the only team in the Big Ten with five players named to the All-Big Ten teams. The five recipients also ties for the most in program history with the 1995-96, 2002-03, 2004-05 and 2008-09 teams.
Joining Powers, senior Annalise Pickrel earned second team honors, while senior Klarissa Bell, junior Becca Mills and freshman Tori Jankoska were honorable mention selections. Bell was also on the All-Defensive Team and was the team's Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree.
Powers, who is the first Spartan freshman to be named to the first team, was also on the five-member All-Freshman Team.
In Suzy Merchant's seven seasons, Michigan State has a Big Ten-best 25 All-Big Ten selections.
Powers leads the team in points (13.8), rebounds (8.0) and steals (1.8), while also fourth in assists (2.4) and blocks (0.6) in only 26.2 minutes. She is top-10 in the Big Ten in rebounds and steals, while 10th in the conference, shooting 50.0% from the field.
Powers is having arguably the best season ever by a Spartan freshman. Among all-time MSU freshmen, she currently is third in points (401), sixth in rebounds (231), seventh in assists (70), sixth in blocks (18) and first in free throws made (95). Her 13.8 scoring average is currently the best and her 8.0 rebound mark is fifth. In addition, she has the most 20-point games (6) and the second-most double-doubles (8) among Spartan freshman.
Pickrel, who earned all-conference honors for the first time, is having a career year as a senior, averaging career highs in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. She leads the team in blocks (1.1), while ranking second in rebounds (7.1), and third in points (12.6) and assists (2.7). Pickrel is also second on the team and top-15 in the Big Ten with 1.7 3-pointers per game and a 36.9% 3-point field goal percentage.
Bell was voted on the All-Big Ten teams for the second-straight season, and becomes the seventh All-Defensive Team selection in program history and the first since 2010-11. Bell battled injuries for most of the season, to average 7.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals on the season. She is ninth in the league in assists, while also tying for sixth with a 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Defensively, Bell anchors the Spartan defense that led the Big Ten in conference games in points allowed, field goal percentage defense and 3-point field goal percentage defense.
Mills is also a first-time recipient of postseason conference recognition. She is fourth on the team with 9.9 points and third with 5.6 rebounds, while leading the team and ranking seventh in the conference in field goal percentage at 51.3%. Mills is also second with 21 blocks on the year.
Jankoska has made an immediate impact in her first season on the Spartan campus. She has started 13 games, including the last 10, and is second on the team with 12.7 points and 1.2 steals, while also adding 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Jankoska has been a weapon from behind the arc, leading the team with 2.1 3-pointers (ninth in the league) and a 37.4% 3-point field goal percentage (12th in the conference). Like Powers, Jankoska is also climbing up the Spartan freshman lists, currently ranking sixth in points (367), ninth in assists (66), second in 3-pointers (61) and third in 3-point field goal percentage (37.4%).
The Spartans ended the regular season on Sunday in a tie for Penn State at 13-3 for the Big Ten regular season title. Michigan State is 21-8 on the season and will face the winner of Michigan and Indiana on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.

Welcome to Let's Get Chalky!
What better way to announce your pregnancy then with an adorable sign for your child! This listing is for a DIGITAL file in jpeg format. PLEASE NOTE NOTHING IS PHYSICALLY SHIPPED TO YOU. The standard size of the board is 16x20, but the size can be customized so please specify your size.
The file may be printed on card stock or regular paper and then mounted onto foam board or placed in a frame. Most office supply stores will print the poster and mount it on foam board for you! Some places (like Costco) have a poster board printing option. Again, you will only be receiving a DIGITAL file from me.
HOW TO PURCHASE - When you checkout, please let me know all information that you would like included on your board in the note to seller box. Information to include:
Last name:
Due Date: (MONTH AND YEAR)
Email address for final file:
RECEIVING YOUR FILE - Since this listing is very straightforward, you will receive your final file with 24-48 hours. Nothing will be sent to a mailing address.
By purchasing this listing, you are agreeing that you have read and understood this listing info and all of my shop policies. Follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/letsgetchalky!
I accept payment through Direct Checkout and PayPal. Once payment has been received, I will start making your order (pending I have all of your details for the board). Once an order has been started, there are no cancellations.
All of my items are currently only available as printable or template files. This means that the buyer is purchasing a digital design to print themselves.
If you're considering a professional printer, I recommend Prints of Love. My shop has partnered with them to offer fast, high quality yet affordable printing. Plus free 2-3 day U.S. shipping and free envelopes! Check them out at: https://printsoflove.com/lets-get-chalky/
Again, NOTHING IS PHYSICALLY SHIPPED TO YOU from this shop. I ONLY SELL DIGITAL FILES.
Request a cancellation within: 1 hours of purchase
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Because the boards are custom made, there are no refunds. Once your personalized poster file has been made, I will send you a proof via Etsy. Please double check your proof prior to approving for final release of the file.
Your poster will be created based on the listing design you purchase, unless we had discussed a custom design for you in messages prior to purchase. Once I have sent the proof, revisions can be made to the poster. However if a different design is wanted all together, you will be asked to purchase the desired listing, and I am unable to provide a refund for the poster that you had previously purchased.
My turnaround time is 4 BUSINESS DAYS. I do not work on the weekends (unless there is a rush order) or on holidays. For example, if you order on a Monday, plan on having your proof (and final file) on that Friday. Sometimes you receive your file earlier but due to being a single business owner and mom of two, I give myself this amount of time.
Please note that my turnaround time begins once ALL information is received.
**BE CERTAIN** of the size that you order (you're able to print it, find a frame for it, etc). Once the proof has been started, you may be subject to an additional fee if you want a different size than ordered.
PLEASE double check the file before printing to avoid extra printing costs. Once printed, I am not responsible for errors since you have had the sample and the final product to look over. If you notice an error prior to printing, please let me know and I am happy to correct it. :)
Files are for personal use only. No commercial use allowed. If you attempt to sell, redistribute or pass off any of my designs as your own you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. All of my designs are copyrighted and owned by Lets Get Chalky, LLC.
No, this is not a REAL chalkboard, nor will anything be shipped to a mailing address. I make a design as a digital file and send to you as a JPEG file (picture file). You are required to print yourself.
When printing:
Download the attachment to your desktop. Please note that opening the file on a smart phone or tablet will cause the file to be reduced in size/quality. If forwarding the file to a store or another email address, please do so from your computer. The files I send you are of the highest quality, so if they are pixelated or blurry, you have compromised the file. Please print the size dimension that the file is stated to be. If you want a different size dimension file, you must let me know so I can resize the file for you. This may be an additional fee depending on the design you have chosen.
One, you can just get it printed at any printing and/or frame company. Just be sure to print 'matte', otherwise it will lose the 'chalkboard' look. It's best to have it printed on cardstock and go from there.
Two, you can go to Costco. They do a thicker poster board for certain sizes. There is a white border on the front which you cannot remove but also gives it a nice, framed look.
Three, you can go to Office Depot and have them print on card stock and mount on foam board. This looks best in my opinion for parties or photos shoots. Walgreens does this as well but it's their board print option.
Four, you can use the the following place online: https://printsoflove.com/lets-get-chalky/. I use them for all of my printing needs!
My turnaround time for birthday chalkboards is 4 BUSINESS DAYS. You should plan to order closest to the date needed but also allowing for enough time to print (I suggest ordering 7 days prior to when you need your file). Many places print same day but I would call first. I suggest for last minute orders you also purchase my rush shipping. This is located under "Rush Fees" (there are sections on my Etsy store which you can sort by). This will ensure your file will be delivered by the date needed.
Please note this turnaround time is ONLY for birthday chalkboards.
Yes. I do not ship your item and this is not a real chalkboard. However, all photos shown on my shop are pictures from customers who have printed the boards themselves. The process is very simple if you read through and follow my instructions. I'm also always available via email to discuss any questions or concerns you might have!
Pregnancy announcements: 1-2 business days (unless custom)
Invitations/thank you cards: 1-2 business days
School boards: 1-2 business days

Custom orders: depends, but usually 3-4 business days
Again, birthday chalkboards are 4 business days from date ordered.

t a busy intersection in the bustling city of Indianapolis, Indiana, stands the imposing four-story brick structure known as the Walker Building. Buff-colored terra cotta is used for decorative details, and each doorway is embellished with brightly colored African masks. Completed in 1927, this magnificent building marks the climax of the career of Madam C.J. Walker, one of America's most successful African-American businesswoman of the early 20th century. Much of the building served as the headquarters of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, a business which employed some 3,000 African-American women and men to manufacture and sell hair products and cosmetics. The Walker Building, planned by Madam Walker herself but constructed after her death, was designed to serve not only as the headquarters for her business, but as a social and cultural center for African Americans in Indianapolis. Today, it houses the Madam Walker Theatre Center and various commercial businesses.
A thousand miles to the west, in the small town of Kemmerer in western Wyoming, stands a small building that represents the early days of another successful career. This building housed the Golden Rule Store, a dry goods business that grew into the J. C. Penney Company, the first nationwide chain of department stores in the country. Built about 1897, the two-story stone building features a cast iron storefront decorated with rosettes and scrollwork and an elaborate metal cornice. When James Cash Penney moved his dry goods business here in 1904, the building also housed a saloon, offices, and apartments. In a 25-by-140 foot section of the first floor, Penney developed and refined the merchandising ideas that led to the growth of his successful chain of stores.
These two historic buildings--one large and imposing, the other modest--provide insight into the characters of two of America's most famous businesspeople. Both Walker and Penney overcame great odds, and both combined a desire to serve others with great financial success.

Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra formed a company called Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. for business in Colombia. From 2005, former President Bill Clinton arranges a series of meetings between Giustra and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, in which Clinton is frequently present. In 2007, Clinton even meets Uribe and Giustra at the Clintons' home in Chappaqua, New York. Also in 2007, Pacific Rubiales signs a $300 million deal to build a pipeline in central Colombia, gains control of Colombia's largest oilfield, and acquires the right to cut timber in a biologically diverse Colombian forest. Giustra will later insist that was purely coincidental, and he has traveled frequently with Bill Clinton without business deals. (Clinton has flown for free on Giustra's private jet at least 25 times.) But Bloomberg News will later note, "Giustra's globe-trotting adventures with Bill Clinton have coincided with lucrative business deals."
In 2007, Giustra and Bill Clinton cofound a Canadian offshoot of the Clinton Foundation called the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP). It will later be alleged that this is a "slush fund" allowing foreigners to donate money indirectly to the Clinton Foundation in the hopes of getting favorable treatment from the Clintons.
In 1991, the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued a secret intelligence report showing that Uribe "worked for the Medellin [drug] cartel" and is "a close personal friend of Pablo Escobar Gaviria," the notorious drug lord. Uribe continues to be linked to a variety of scandals and human rights abuses during his presidency.

Africa threatens walkout from climate talks
Thursday September 3 2009
ADDIS ABABA, Thursday - Africa's climate change negotiators led by Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi have threatened to withdraw from the upcoming global climate change talks.
The Ethiopian PM said Africa might have to walk out if the December climate negotiations in Copenhagen, Denmark, failed to agree with Africa's minimum position.
"If need be we are prepared to walk out of any negotiations that threaten to be another rape of our continent," he said.
Mr Zenawi told Africa ministers and European partners gathered in Addis Ababa to consolidate Africa's expectation and position for the next global climate negotiations.
According to Africa's common position paper, the continent wants huge financial support (estimated at US$300 billion) and technology transfer from the West for mitigation and adaptation activities to curb the impact of climate crisis on the continent.
Mr Zenawi, however, hinted that his delegation will not claim compensation but fight for global action to reduce the impact of climate change.
"We will never accept any global deal that does not limit global warming to the minimum unavoidable level, no matter what level of compensation and assistance is promised to us," he said.
"We will not be there to express its participation by merely warming the chairs or to make perfunctory speeches and statements," Mr Zenawi said.
The Ethiopian leader was elected by Africa Union to head the continent's delegation for the talks. The delegation includes Algeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa. African Union chief Jean Ping and AU current chairman Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi will also accompany the delegation to Copenhagen.
Key positions
Africa demands that developed countries should commit 0.5 per cent of their GDP for climate action in developing countries and commit to new and innovative sources of public and private sector finance, with the major source of funding coming from the public sector.
Mr Ping said the upcoming negotiation should ensure sustainable financial flow to mitigate and adapt the impacts of climate change.
"Existing financial mechanisms are inadequate, complex and fragmented and have constrained African countries from gaining access to these resources," Mr Ping said.
Africa needs to create an African climate change fund through collaboration amongst African institutions such as the African Union Commission, the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development Bank.
Mitigation and adaptation
To support climate change mitigation activities in developing nations Western nations were asked to set at least US$200 billion (0.5 per cent from their GDP) by 2020, Africa's new common position paper revealed.
According to the Common Position document, Africa is demanding measurable, reportable and verifiable emission reduction by developed nations.
Rich nations need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020 and at least 80 to 95 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050.
Africa also demanded from the West better climate change adaptation fund worth US$67 billion per year by 2020.
Developed countries should commit to the deployment, diffusion and transfer of technology to developing countries, based on principles of accessibility, affordability, appropriateness and adaptability.

Some facts about the two Afghan presidential hopefuls vying to replace Hamid Karzai in the runoff Saturday:
ABDULLAH ABDULLAH: Abdullah, a 53-year-old former foreign minister, was the runner-up in the 2009 disputed elections won by Karzai. He emerged as the front-runner this time after he garnered 45 percent of the votes in the first round of balloting on April 5. Abdullah, whose mother is ethnic Tajik and father is Pashtun, has an advantage in name recognition and political organization. He was a close aide to the late Ahmad Shah Masood, the Northern Alliance rebel commander famed for his resistance to Soviet occupation and the Taliban. Abdullah has a strong following among ethnic Tajiks in Afghanistan's north, but his perceived weak support among Pashtuns — Afghanistan's largest ethnic group at 42 percent — could keep him from winning a majority of votes. Three of the candidates who lost in the first round — Zalmai Rassoul, Abdul Rasoul Sayyaf and Gul Agha Sherzai — as well as a number of influential former vice presidential candidates have thrown their support to Abdullah in the runoff.
ASHRAF GHANI AHMADZAI: Ahmadzai, a 64-year-old Pashtun who once served as finance minister and worked at the World Bank, came in second with 31.6 percent of the votes in the initial balloting. An academic with a reputation as a somewhat temperamental technocrat, Ahmadzai received a Ph.D. in anthropology from Columbia University and taught at Johns Hopkins University during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. He gave up U.S. citizenship to run in the 2009 elections but won only 3 percent of that vote. This time, he has gained the support of four former presidential contenders — Qayyum Karzai, Qutbuddin Hilal, Hedayat Amin Arsala and Mohammad Doud Sultanzai — as well as other former vice presidential candidates.

America's debt problem: 3 letters
Re: "The United States of debt," Nov. 4 Perspective article.
I was both pleased and disappointed by this article on health care and Social Security. U.S. Comptroller David M. Walker is awake enough to see problems, but can't do enough to solve them. This is because Mr. Walker is not politically independent or non-partisan, he is just fiscally conservative. His solutions are that we cannot support our needs by paying what they will cost; we can only cut costs (and services). Raising taxes is a mortal sin. Read more…

Independent advice for solving today's backup challenges
Addressing Deduplication, Protecting VMs, Cloud Backup, Snapshots and CDP
Data protection is still Job #1 for storage managers who struggle to cope with ever-increasing storage capacities. Traditional backup—at least the backup we knew five years ago—is no match for the new demands and stresses on corporate data stores. But the leading backup application vendors, backup hardware vendors and a handful of startups have evolved their products over the years to meet these new challenges.
At Backup School 2012, Brien Posey, Independent analyst and noted contributor for SearchDataBackup.com and SearchStorage.com, offers invaluable insight into the most important new backup technologies and processes. Posey will describe the specific benefits of each "new" technology and provide the appropriate context for users to determine if and where any of these technologies can improve their backup operations.
Session Descriptions
Session One: Planning and Testing your Backups
In the first section of this seminar, we'll provide in-depth coverage of these backup technologies:
- Deduplication – Dedupe has revolutionized disk-based backup and can provide substantial cost and operational savings; we'll detail the alternatives and offer suggestions for "best-fit" implementations
- Virtual Server Data Protection – Virtualized servers have created new problems for storage managers, not the least of which is data protection; traditional backup app deployments may suffice at first, but they rarely scale sufficiently and often make for very awkward recoveries. Backup vendors have tailored their applications to VM environments, but not all backup applications are created equally. This session examines the most important things to look for in a backup application when you need to back up a virtual data center.
- Testing Your Backups – Conventional wisdom dictates testing your backups, but how should the testing process be carried out? We will discuss some low-cost methods for making sure that your backups will be sufficient should the unthinkable happen.
Session Two: A Fresh Look at Evolving Backup Technologies
The second part of the Backup for 2012 seminar will take a fresh look at several technologies that have been around for a while but are now playing a more prominent role in enterprise data protection:
- Cloud Backup – Originally seen as an SMB service, cloud backup is now viable for enterprises. This session will discuss the advantages of using cloud backups, as well as when you will be better off sticking with a more traditional backup method instead. You will also learn what cloud backup features to look for as well as some common pitfalls to watch out for.
- Snapshots – Snapshots have been used for many years to help protect data, but advances in snapshot technologies now make snapshotting a viable alternative to traditional backup methods. Learn how snapshots work, and how the backup vendors are incorporating snapshots in their wares.
- Continuous Data Protection (CDP) – Capturing and saving changes to data as they occur has been around for a while, but it saw little adoption largely because it represented an additional process to manage; today, however, CDP has been incorporated into backup applications and may even suffice on its own in demanding virtualized server environments. This session examines the benefits of CDP technology, but also discusses the crucial task of protecting your backups.
Attendance for this seminar is FREE for qualified IT professionals
But seating is limited to just 75 attendees in each city. To claim your complimentary seat, apply online with our short online application or call Delegate Recruitment Manager Mike Parisi at (617) 431-9718.

The Lingenfelder family has been making wine in the Pfalz region of Germany for 13 generations. We are very proud of this long winemaking tradition, and with every bottle of wine we produce, we strive to uphold this proud tradition. If you would like to learn more about the history, geography and philosophy that goes into every bottle of Lingenfelder Wine, you have come to the right place! We also love to meet and share wine with our friends from all over the world. In this section of our website you can find directions for your next visit to our winery as well as our e-mail address and contact information. If you have any questions or need additional information that isn't on our website, feel free to send us a message – we love to hear from our wine enthusiast friends from around the world. Lingenfelder Estate is located in the small community of Grosskarlbach in the in the north east of the sunny Pfalz, the warmest and driest region of Germany. The Pfalz wine region lies in the foothills east of the Haardt Mountains which offer protection from prevailing westerly weather and create the sunny conditions ideal for growing grapes. Together, the Pfalz and the mountains combine to form one of the great tourist areas of Germany complete with scenic drives, wonderful cycle and hiking paths, and a sophisticated hospitality industry. The Deutsche Weinstrasse (German Wine Route) is an 80 km (50 mile) scenic drive that runs from Bockenheim in the north to Schweigen-Rechterbach in the south – it is the oldest demarcated wine tour in the world, established in 1935, and links 40 villages on a north south line. This southwestern region of Germany, adjacent to France, enjoys 1800 hours of sunshine a year. With an almost Mediterranean climate it is no surprise that crops other than grapes also flourish including almonds, peaches, apricots, cherries, sweet chestnuts, walnuts, figs, tobacco and many vegetables including asparagus and chicory. Like so many things, the establishment of the wine culture in the Pfalz is owed to the Romans whose legions occupied the area in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Archaeological excavations support their early viticultural enterprise – an example is ruins of a Roman winery just to the south of Freinsheim. In the Middle Ages, monasteries served as custodian of the knowledge of wine and its appreciation. Fortifications were built, some say, for the protection of wines rather than property, and the practice of demanding wine as rent from the farmers on the extensive monastic lands helped sustain a wine industry. Accounting records of the Lorsch and Weissenburg monasteries provide definitive evidence of wine production in Grosskarlbach from as early as the year 763. The vineyards of Grosskarlbach and Freinsheim look back upon a long tradition, as does the Lingenfelder family. Our family tree records 13 generations of Lingenfelders, back to 1520, of winegrowers in the Pflaz. Our story is not one of nobility and grand estates but one of hard-working farmers who worked the land and made the wine. In our recent past, we have been increasing our vineyard ownership and in 1998 we purchased the estate house in Grosskarlbach. The estate currently rests in the hands of Rainer Karl Lingenfelder who took the reins from his father in 1990. Although our history is rich in tradition, today we gladly accept our responsibility for stewardship of our land to ensure that it remains vital for future generations. To this end, we tend our vineyards in an ecologically responsible manner. Our 15 hectares (35 acres) of prime vineyards are planted mostly with the grape varieties Riesling, Scheurebe and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). At Lingenfelder, we believe that great wines are created in the vineyard. This is the only way to create great wine. All our vineyard practices aim to create perfect fruit at harvest. We then practice gentle winemaking in the cellar, we intervene as little as possible and let nature take its course. To preserve the maximum complexity and fullness of flavour, we avoid clarifying or stabilizing agents. Our aim is to bottle the Pfalz sunshine and to create wines of distinction that reward repeated tasting, and, we hope, that contribute to your sense of well being. Read less

Previous experiments to predict the quality of sleep had to be done while the subject was asleep throughout the night. College of Medicine Professors Park Kwang Suk, Jeong Do Un, and Lee Yu Jin discovered a method in which the quality of sleep could be predicted by examining the subject for only five minutes before they fall asleep.
The research team hypothesized that the autonomic nervous system activity immediately before sleep closely correlates with sleep efficiency.
The autonomic nervous system is classified into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system governs activity in the body while the parasympathetic nervous system is related to rest. During sleep, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes more active, reducing the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels.
In contrast, if the sympathetic nervous system is active just before sleep, there is a high possibility that one will be unable to have a deep sleep. The team therefore concluded that sleep quality can be predicted by identifying the activity of the autonomic nervous system.
To test the hypothesis, 60 participants lay for five minutes on a bed with a paper-thin film-type piezoelectric sensor -- a device that measures changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain, and force by converting energy into electrical charge -- installed on the mattress. The team predicted the participants' quality of sleep by measuring their cardiorespiratory signals such as the heartbeat and respiration with the piezoelectric sensor. Cardiorespiratory signals indicate changes in the autonomic nervous system.
After the five-minute examination, the participants underwent traditional polysomnography, the current standard for sleep evaluation, in order to compare the results. Results showed only a 2% margin of error between the new, five-minute evaluation and the more cumbersome polysomnographic method.
Polysomnography simultaneously measures brainwave activity, blood oxygen levels, respiration, and heart rate, allowing for a comprehensive test for various sleep problems. The drawbacks however, are that many pieces of equipment have to be attached to the participant, who must be monitored for the course of an entire night's sleep.
The new method, by contrast, requires little in the way of equipment and only takes a short time. Furthermore, the participant does not need to be asleep for the experiment.
Professor Park said that this method will be widely used to measure not only the quality of sleep, but also one's general physical health. The experiment's findings were published in the online scientific journal, Chronobiology International.

The N.C. House voted today to override Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of legislation that sharply limits environmental rulemaking. The N.C. Senate had overridden the veto on July 13, so the measure is now law.
The bill was styled as a way to create jobs by limiting the proliferation of rules that its Republican backers say stifle business. It followed a series of regulatory-reform hearings held around the state this spring.
The law prohibits state environmental agencies, in most cases, from enacting rules that are stronger than federal standards. It orders agencies to ferret out "burdensome" regulations and conduct cost-benefit analyses of new rules, identifying alternatives for those with a fiscal impact of $500,000 or more a year.
Administrative law judges, not state agencies, will have final say on appeals of agency fines or orders. Judges have previously submitted only recommended decisions.
Environmental advocates predict the new restrictions will quickly come back to haunt the state. Among rules likely to be entangled, they say, are standards for the now-banned drilling practice of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for natural gas.
"Effective now," said Sam Pearsall of the Environmental Defense Fund, "it's going to be a mess."

Sierra Club's $50M windfall to boost NC wind power
Today's $50 million commitment by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign will be used in North Carolina to promote offshore wind, a spokeswoman says.
The Sierra campaign aims to "end the coal era" and usher in cleaner technology. The billionaire Bloomberg appeared for today's announcement outside a coal-fired power plant in Alexandria, Va.
In North Carolina, an unspecified increase in Sierra staffers will develop "new, innovative strategies to hasten deployment of offshore wind," said spokeswoman Jenna Garland.
Environmental advocates despise coal power for its pollution, vast releases of carbon dioxide and the damage caused by mountaintop-removal mining in the Appalachians. Sierra claims credit for derailing plans for more than 150 new coal plants, although it didn't stop Duke Energy from building two new plants in North Carolina and Indiana.
Duke and Progress Energy plan to shut down many of their older coal-fired plants in the Carolinas as environmental standards stiffen.
Bloomberg's money will expand Sierra's anti-coal campaign from 15 to 45 states and double the number of staff members assigned to 200 people.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, an industry group that includes neither Duke nor Progress, quickly pounced. ACCCE said the Sierra plan would raise electric rates and kill jobs.
"Rather than demonize an important national strategic resource, Mayor Bloomberg should be using his millions to push for a balanced energy policy that utilizes all our domestic sources of energy including coal," the group said.

Carolinas rank 10th, 11th for power plant pollution
North Carolina ranks 10th-highest and South Carolina 11th in a ranking of states with the most toxic air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants, the Natural Resources Defense Council said today.
The advocacy group based its rankings on the Environmental Protection Agency's 2009 Toxics Release Inventory, to which industries report their chemical releases to the air, water and land. Physicians for Social Responsibility shared in the report's release.
Power plants are the single largest industrial source of toxic air pollution in 28 states, including the Carolinas, NRDC said. N.C. utilities released 14.9 million pounds of toxic air emissions, 49 percent of the total for the state. South Carolina's emitted 11.4 million pounds, or 43 percent.
NRDC decried efforts in the U.S. House last week to delay proposed EPA limits on mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants. EPA estimates the new limits, proposed in March, would save up to 17,000 lives and prevent 120,000 asthma episodes a year by 2015.
Duke Energy plans to retire many of its smaller, older coal-fired units by 2015 to avoid the expense of installing new air pollution controls. Duke and Raleigh's Progress Energy say "scrubbers" installed at their larger N.C. plants to catch sulfur dioxide, which forms lung-damaging fine particles, also capture up to 90 percent of the mercury the plants release.
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida led the NRDC's "Toxic 20" list.

Fort Bragg to test fuel cells
Sprawling, camo-intensive Fort Bragg will become one of eight U.S. military installations to test fuel cells as backup power, the Department of Energy said today.
Home to more than 50,000 active-duty soldiers (and endangered species including the red-cockaded woodpecker), Bragg is earning a name for energy innovation. Solar photovoltaic panels and solar hot water systems have been added to construction and renovation projects. Micro-hydro power, geothermal heat pumps, biodiesel production and energy meters to fine-tune efficiency are planned.
DOE's fuel cell tests will see how the technology, which generates electricity by chemical reaction, works in the real world. Department-funded research with 3M, DuPont, BASF and other companies has cut costs up to 80 percent since 2002, the government says. Many of the innovations that came out of that research will be tested at the military bases.
Compared with diesel generators, the usual source of backup power, fuel cells use no petroleum, are quieter and need less maintenance. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory will collect data from the $6.6 million project for two years, passing its findings to fuel cell developers and potential commercial and government adopters.
Fort Hood in Texas, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base in Colorado, the Marine Corp's Air Ground Combat Center 29 Palms in California and the Ohio National Guard will also test the cells.

Progress outranks Duke in customer survey
Progress Energy topped its intended merger partner, Duke Energy, in J.D. Power and Associates' annual residential customer satisfaction survey released today.
Progress Carolinas ranked third-best among 13 large electric utilities in the South, the study found, while Duke Carolinas came in sixth. Both beat the average for the segment.
The results mark substantial happy-customer slippage for Duke, which led the list in 2010 and placed second in 2009. Progress finished fourth last year and so improved a bit.
Duke can't blame the results on this month's news of the 17 percent rate hike it's seeking for N.C. residential customers. The study was based on 98,000 online interviews conducted from July 2010 through this May.
Customer relations ranked low for both companies outside their Carolina bases. Progress Energy Florida finished dead last in rankings for the South, which was led by Oklahoma Gas and Electric. Duke's Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky operations ranked 10th-highest among 16 utilities in the Midwest.
J.D. Power's release didn't detail each utility's performance, but said customers generally are less satisfied with power quality, reliability and prices compared to last year. Gains in other areas, including customer communications and billing, helped offset the problem areas.
The California-based marketing information firm, also asked about attitudes on nuclear power. It found that 57 percent support building U.S. nuclear plants. Support is 70 percent among people who live within 50 miles of a nuclear plant.

Consumer advocates slam Duke's Indiana costs
Advocates for Indiana utility customers have given a thumbs-down on Duke Energy's request to recover more of the escalating costs of its Edwardsport coal-fired power plant.
The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor had been generally supportive of the project, which will use cleaner-burning gasification technology and is now nearing completion.
But that began to change last winter, with the fallout over conflict-of-interest allegations between Duke and Indiana utility regulators that ultimately cost the job of Jim Turner, one of Duke's top executives in Charlotte. Duke later withdrew a settlement with the consumer agency and other parties on the Edwardsport cost overruns.
With the issue back before the Indiana utilities commission, the Consumer Counselor's office now says Duke doesn't deserve the extra $530 million in reimbursement it's seeking for cost overruns. Cost estimates of $2.35 billion in 2008 have climbed to $2.88 billion.
"Duke has not demonstrated any budgetary constraints on this project," the office's Barbara Smith wrote in pre-filed testimony to the commission. "There appears to be a lack of responsibility or accountability on the part of those causing these multi-million dollar cost overruns. In addition, there has been no evidence presented to indicate that Duke management, or any other entity, has conducted any kind of timely prudency review regarding these cost overruns."
Smith wrote that Duke didn't fully spell out the project's scope, or finish design work, before starting work. The result, she said, was escalating costs borne by ratepayers and benefits going to Duke shareholders.
Duke has defended its management of the project. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will hold hearings on Edwardsport's costs in October.

UNCC rolls out regional-indicators site
UNC Charlotte's Urban Institute has unveiled a new website that tracks how the Charlotte region's doing on the economy, environment, education and other indicators.
The institute launched its Charlotte Regional Indicators Project in 2007. The new version allows its database to be updated with fresh material as soon as it's released from the source.
"It is our hope that the Indicators website will become a sort of 'community commons,' where the data and commentary found here will spark more serious conversations and dialogue across the region – in city council meetings, neighborhood gatherings, corporate and nonprofit board rooms, in classrooms, and around the family dinner table – as we all strive for that elusive shared vision of what the Charlotte region can be," institute director Jeff Michael wrote in announcing the site.
The site offers search options for 33 indicators grouped around 11 quality of life themes that give an overview of the 14-county region. It also allows searches of detailed local data and can generate graphics based on the data.
It's absorbing stuff: the site lets you watch the steady loss of open space in Mecklenburg County, check out the violent crime index in Lancaster County, S.C. or compare Charlotte's commute times with other cities. Visitors can sign up for data alerts via social media, but a caution: the site won't display properly in Windows Internet Explorer 6.

Tenable Products Provide Strategic Solutions
The significance of CVE-2014-0160, aka Heartbleed, an attack against the transport layer security protocol (TLS/DTLS) heartbeat extension, is well documented. What could use more discussion is what it really takes to find all vulnerable systems in today's networks.
- The vulnerability exists in the OpenSSL library, widely used by Linux operating systems, embedded systems and most applications implementing SSL encryption
- While you can patch the vulnerability in your operating system, the vulnerable library can be built into the application, as it is with OpenVPN and other applications which must also be patched
- The vulnerability can present itself in any service which implements SSL, allowing it to exist in services other than HTTPS (port 443), including email, instant messenger, and many other common (and uncommon) services and applications
- Once you've patched the vulnerability on all of the systems and services you've discovered, it can easily be re-introduced if someone installs a vulnerable application or embedded system that has not yet been patched (or an older version where the vulnerability exists).
Nessus® enables you to safely detect the Heartbleed vulnerability with a comprehensive set of remote and local checks.
Remote Checking Plugin 73412 (Nessus Plugins) – This plugin checks for the vulnerability and displays a sample of data that can be retrieved from the remote host. Tenable research teams have written this check to be thorough, accurate, and safe.
Using local patch checking, Nessus can log into the remote host and determine if the operating system patches have been applied:
|Credentialed OS checks:
|Oracle Linux
|Amazon Linux AMI
|and other platforms including Gentoo, Scientific Linux, Slackware
Nessus Enterprise Cloud
If you are concerned with your Internet facing systems, particularly your web sites or VPN connections, you may use the same Nessus Heartbleed detection policy wizard to create a schedule for scanning your systems from our remote, cloud-based vulnerability scanner, Nessus® Enterprise Cloud.
Nessus Enterprise Cloud can be used to check for the Heartbleed vulnerability using one or more of the following three settings:
- Quick – limited to searching for ports/services that are known to use OpenSSL;
- Normal – searches for the vulnerability on the Nessus default set of ports; or
- Thorough – performs a comprehensive sweep of all 65K ports and detects use of SSL.
Nessus Enterprise Cloud allows for unlimited scanning of unlimited IP addresses and will help you discover where SSL communications that rely on OpenSSL are entering into your network, and whether they are vulnerable to the heartbeat attack.
PVS – Passive Scanning
For those hard to reach places, Tenable's Passive Vulnerability Scanner™ (PVS™) can sniff the network and identify hosts vulnerable to the "Heartbleed" attack.
PVS is a powerful tool for finding Heartbleed and other vulnerabilities which may escape some traditional detection methods. By passively monitoring network traffic, PVS detects server and client vulnerabilities, applications, and connections.
As a data source for SecurityCenter Continuous View™, or as an individual subscription installation, PVS provides valuable insight into Heartbleed and other OpenSSL issues. Shown is a sample report displayed in the PVS web interface.
As with all Tenable detections, PVS provides not only the overview, but also the detailed information required to address and resolve discovered vulnerabilities.
SecurityCenter Continuous View
To thoroughly identify your exposure to Heartbleed, a complete view of your environment is required; Tenable's SecurityCenter Continuous View™ provides a complete and comprehensive view of your environment by combining active scanning, passive monitoring, and log analysis.
The SecurityCenter CV™ dashboard shown below provides an up-to-the-minute overview of Heartbleed-vulnerable systems and related information at a glance:

NEW YORK -- It's the end of an era for Coca-Cola lovers, as the last 6.5-ounce returnable, glass bottle rolls off the production line.
A small Coke bottler in Minnesota says it's stopping production of the bottles, which customers could return to get back a 20-cent deposit. The company in Winona, Minn., had been refilling the returnable bottles since 1932 but said it no longer makes business sense to continue doing so.
LeRoy Telstad, the bottler's vice president and general manager, says the last run for refilling the bottles was Tuesday.
The Coca-Cola Co, based in Atlanta, notes that its 8-ounce glass bottles are still widely available across the country. Those recyclable bottles are nearly identical to the smaller 6.5-ounce bottles. They have less glass but hold more cola.
The glass bottles that were refilled in Winona, Minn. had a very limited footprint, distributed in only four counties.
"They were made on an old line that would have to be completely replaced _ they kept them going as long as they could," said Susan Stribling, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman.
As one of the last makers of the refillable bottles, Telstad said people would travel from all over to pick them up. Customers paid a deposit on each bottle they bought and would get that deposit back when they returned the bottles.
The bottling company says it refilled about 250 cases, or 6,000 bottles, for the final run. The bottles will be sold online for $20 each and go toward the Lake Winona Pedestrian and Bicycle Path restoration project.
The Coca-Cola Co. made its trademarked contour glass bottle in 1916. That first bottle was 16.5 ounces. The company has produced a variety of sizes since then.

We celebrated the second phase of a multi-phase campus expansion project with the Grand Opening of our 600 Classroom Building Extension on August 22. The project expands the campus to 292,000 square feet.
Phase II
Phase II included construction of a three-story, 56,000-square-foot classroom building which extends from the 600 Building and adds 20 classrooms to campus while making room for future office and meeting space. In the future, the third floor will be finished for college offices and meeting space.
"Passing Through," a public art project for Phase II construction, includes life-sized stainless steel silhouettes of Tunxis students. The theme is of people engaged in a trek and is intended as a metaphor for the educational journey. Students with diverse stories and backgrounds modeled for the silhouettes. Their essays will become part of a website associated with the project.
The artwork, which will be installed in January 2014, is required by a Connecticut law that requires "not less than 1% of the cost of construction or substantial renovation of publicly accessible state buildings be allocated for the commission or purchase of artworks for that building."
Other Project Details and Miscellaneous Facts:
- In compliance with Connecticut statute for new state buildings, the 600 Classroom Building Extension is a certified LEED (Leadership, Energy, Environmental Design) green building. Among the features are a 4,500 gallon storage tank for rainwater harvesting to service restrooms, motion sensor lighting, building products made of recycled materials, and a building design that makes efficient use of natural light.
- December 6, 2011 marks the official start date of Phase II construction.
- The steel structure was topped off on August 3, 2012.
- The project was completed August 18, 2013.
- The construction schedule for state projects is based on the contract signing date. The contractor must start the project within days of the contract signing.
- The construction site is a restricted area where hard hats are required.

Did you know ?
In September 2011 the VisionFund International (VFI) Board approved the three year 'Clearer Vision' Five Year Strategy, known internally as the 'Big Push', to build a foundation for a unified global network of VisionFund Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), operating sustainably and delivering an impact to 3.5 million children annually. The focus was on developing MFIs in Africa and Asia in particular, and also Latin America, and adopting a more integrated approach with World Vision. Three years on, much progress has been made following this strategy, and in 2015 we are bringing a brighter future to 3.5 million children.
The VFI leadership team has now developed a follow-up strategy, comprising a five year strategy, Building Futures Together with a rolling three year plan.
This strategic plan is focused on delivering much greater scale of impact for children in rural areas by leveraging the huge potential advantages of having an MFI network within a development NGO (World Vision). This will build on the foundations developed through the Clearer Vision strategy built at MFI and VFI global centre level over the past three years.
