It seems to me that the term 'unplugging' gets thrown around quite a bit these days. You go on vacation, and you tell your friends/family/co-workers that you plan on 'unplugging' while you're away… keeping the laptop at home, only checking your work email once a day, and leaving the TV turned off. Usually, regardless of how good our intentions are, this simply doesn't work out quite as we planned.
Starting tomorrow, I'm beginning an 'unplugging' experiment of my own, but its not because I'm going on vacation or need a break. For a handful of reasons, I've decided to get rid of cable. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV, it doesn't feel like a good use of my money, and I'd prefer it if I spent that time/money out and about pursuing other interests.
I admit, I'll probably invest in Netflix and get a cable that allows me to connect my laptop and television. However, I feel really positive about this step. It encourages me to get out of the house, and give me more funds with which to do so. I don't anticipate this being a seasonal choice — I'm challenging myself to live cable free for the foreseeable future.
Maybe you aren't ready to get rid of cable, step away from your smart phone for the day, or even limit the number of times you check your email per day. I challenge you to start with a step you think is achievable, and take the opportunity to get out there and explore. It can be hard to tell in Rochester, but I think spring is right around the corner and we should all take some time to enjoy it.

Biography All Music Guide
Group Members: Drew Emmitt, Jeff Sipe, Noam Pikelny
All Music Guide:
The self-described "polyethnic cajun slamgrass" group Leftover Salmon formed in Colorado in the early '90s as a merger of two area acts, the Left Hand String Band and the Salmonheads. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist/washboard player Vince Herman, banjoist Mark Vann, mandolinist/guitarist Drew Emmit, bassist Tye North and drummer Michael Wooten, the band's good-timey earned a grassroots following on the festival circuit and resulted in their 1993 self-released debut Bridges to Bert. Ask the Fish, a 1995 live effort recorded at Boulder, Colorado's Fox Theatre, helped Leftover Salmon earn a deal with the Hollywood label, which in 1997 released the group's major label bow Euphoria. The Nashville Sessions followed two years later. Upon issuing the Live album in spring 2002, Leftover Salmon experienced some restructuring within the band. North and Wooten were no longer part of Leftover Salmon. Greg Garrison stepped in to play bass, Jose Martinez was added on drums and newcomer Bill McKay joined on keyboards.

A Day of Infamy
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to Congress on December 8, 1941, his famous "Day of Infamy" speech, was a call to arms. One day after the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and other U.S. military bases across the Pacific Ocean, Roosevelt expressed outrage at Japan and confidence in the "inevitable triumph" of the United States. Roosevelt concluded by asking Congress to declare that a state of war existed between the United States and Japan.

Lenovo Introduces Four New Windows 8 Convertibles

IdeaTab Lynx
Lenovo unveiled its IdeaPad Yoga 11, IdeaPad Yoga 13, IdeaTab Lynx and ThinkPad Twist
Windows 8 will be here in a little over two weeks, and Lenovo is prepared to show off its new spread of devices that will run Microsoft's newest operating system.
Today, Lenovo unveiled its IdeaPad Yoga 11, IdeaPad Yoga 13, ThinkPad Twist and IdeaTab Lynx -- all
Windows 8-powered convertibles
. Lenovo is betting big that customers will want convertibles over traditional laptops or tablets, since convertibles combine the best of both worlds.
IdeaPad Yoga 11
The IdeaPad Yoga 11 is an 11.6-inch Windows RT device with a display that flips 360 degrees backwards, transforming the laptop into a tablet with a stand, if needed. Under the hood, the Yoga 11 is packing a NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of RAM, up to 64GB of storage, a 1366x768 display resolution, a 720p webcam, two USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, a card reader, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
You can pick up a Yoga 11 starting at $799. It's available in Silver Gray and Clementine Orange.
IdeaPad Yoga 13
The IdeaPad Yoga 13, like the Yoga 11, flips 360 backwards to turn the laptop into a tablet-like device. It also comes in Silver Gray and Clementine Orange, but most other specs are completely different. For starters, the Yoga 13 has a 13.3-inch display and runs Windows 8. It also has Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of solid-state storage, a 1600x900 resolution, a 720p webcam, USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a card reader, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Yoga 13's price will start at $1,099.
ThinkPad Twist
Twist does exactly what the name indicates -- the display flips down and twists to cover the keyboard, turning the laptop into a tablet. It has a 12.5-inch display, 1366x768 resolution, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, a 720p webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort, Mini HDMI port and three storage options: 320GB HDD, 500GB HDD or 128GB SDD.
The Twist starts at $849.
IdeaTab Lynx
The IdeaTab Lynx is basically a tablet with optional keyboard dock, turning the device into a laptop. The display is 11.6 inches and it features a Clover Trail-based Intel Atom Z2760 processor, 2GB of DDR2, 32GB/64GB storage options, 2 MP front-facing camera, a 1366x768 resolution, Micro USB 2.0 port, Micro HDMI port, microSD card slot, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
The starting price for the Lynx is $599 for the tablet alone, but adding the keyboard dock will cost an additional $149.

As the holidays approach, many families are considering buying a pet as a gift, whether for children, a spouse or a friend. While the holidays can be a wonderful time to welcome a furry friend into your life, the way in which you do it matters.
The pets peering out of pet store and animal shelter windows might convince you to take one home, but before you do, there are several things to consider. Here is what you should think about before you add an animal companion into your life this holiday season.
Can you really take care of it?
Some experts warn against pets as gifts altogether. The adorable faces of puppies and kittens can cause people to make irrational decisions, and they may not think about how much care they are actually capable of giving. Essentially, a pet should never be an impulse buy. You should consider temperament, including whether the pet is good with children, easy to train or has high energy levels before you add one to your family. You should also think about potential pet health issues and the amount of time and space it will take to make sure this pet lives a happy, healthy life.
By giving a pet to someone else, you are assuming that he or she will take care of it and give it all the love (as well as attention, exercise and veterinary care) it needs. The gift of a pet should be something that is planned with the recipient well in advance so everyone knows the responsibilities expected of them.
Where should you get it?
The other concern many pet experts have about holiday pets is where the animal is coming from. Puppies and kittens in pet stores seem adorable and you may even have the urge to "save" them from the conditions there. However, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) urges consumers not to buy pets from pet stores or websites because they are likely animals from "puppy mills," inhumane animal breeding operations that place priority on profit over animal welfare. In fact, the organization says you should not buy any pet supplies or gifts for your current feline or canine companions from a store that sells animals so as not to support any business that would then fund puppy mills.
If you do choose to buy a pet this holiday season, head to your local animal shelter. There are hundreds of lovable dogs and cats who need a home, and many times there are puppies and kittens available, too. These pets have adoption fees that are usually less expensive than pets from a breeder or store, and often already have their cat and dog vaccinations. Cat and dog spaying and neutering is also usually taken care of by the shelter so your pet is ready for his or her new home.
What if I can't care for a pet?
If you have considered the idea of getting a pet as a gift and have honestly determined you or your gift recipient will not be able to care for the animal, there are still ways you can incorporate the love and care of animals into your holiday season. You can make a donation to the ASPCA or another animal welfare organization in a loved one's name, or donate supplies to your local shelter.

A safer place to play for local children
The Webster City Community Schools PTO is asking for donations to go towards expanding safe surface playgrounds at Pleasant View Elementary and Sunset Elementary schools.
Safe surface playgrounds use recycled rubber tiles instead of gravel rocks or concrete underneath the existing playground equipment. The PTO is hoping fully fund the projects through donations from local businesses and community members. The total estimated cost for the playground at Pleasant View Elementary is $45,726 and the estimated cost for Sunset Elementary is $21,044. The PTO is asking for donations of $50, which cover a single square tile of the playground. Those donations are tax-deductible.
Mindy Mossman, Pleasant View Elementary School principal, said the safe surface playgrounds offer a much safer cushion for students.
"There's no comparison to dropping on a safe surface and falling onto rocks," Mossman said.
She became fully invested in the project when one of her students fell onto the gravel surface this year and rocks were embedded in her skull and had to be removed.
Chuck Bonjour, Sunset Elementary School principal, said that the current gravel surface ideally provides a cushion as well. However, that gravel surface gets packed down over time and becomes very much like concrete.
Mossman said the safe surface playground would not become muddy or soggy like current surfaces. She said that on some days, children are instructed to only play on the safe surface area already installed at the school or on the blacktop due to weather conditions. With the expanded safe surface playground, children would have much more room to play during recess on those days.
Currently, about half the of the playground at Pleasant View and a third of the playground at Sunset are safe surface. Those playgrounds are utilized by students during recess, but are also a community asset. Mossman said that in warmer seasons, the playgrounds are full during weekends. That dual-usage is why the PTO is so invested in making this project happen.
"Really, the community is taking it on because these are community parks," Mossman said.
Bonjour said, "You can't pass our equipment during the spring, summer and fall and not see people out there," Bonjour said.
The current playground equipment will continue to be used at the playgrounds. Bonjour said the playground equipment at Sunset will be consolidated onto the safe surface area, as the current playground is very spread out. The playground at Pleasant View will contain three separate areas of safe surface with cement in between those areas. Bonjour said the surfaces will be ADA accessible. He said he once had to help a grandparent out of the gravel on the playground after he got stuck there in his wheelchair.
The PTO is hoping to have the project funded and implemented this summer. For more information or if you wish to make a donation, contact Niki Kumm at 297-1130.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (134 votes).
In short: a long run easy way to get a sun tanIn full: I thoroughly enjoyed this race although it was easier this year without the climb up the valley!!!! Still took 2.30 hrs although my watch was about 7 minutes earlier because I stopped it at the steps. Thats the second year theres been a problem there , I dont understand why, everyone is still moving.So there should not be such a queue, but they race was great and the weather fantastic, even so I stopped at the 2nd to last water stop to say about the dreaded foot and mouth. It was a good run, a hot day and no point in my case killing my self to be 2hrs. Date of review: August 5, 2007
In short: Very well signposted and very good route (apart from the steps;))In full: Was my first trail run, so perhaps I am easy to impress but this was a pleasent race in beautiful surroundings. If I understand correctly not as tough as planned due to a route change due to foot-and-mouth concerns. Enough flat and downhill parts to make up for the walking up the hill.Date of review: August 5, 2007
In short: One of the more tiring half marathons I've done but well worth doing.In full: A great race. Pretty up and down and rough underfoot in places. Reminded me of the Stanstead Slog. Lovely countryside and marshalls did a great job. The extra drink stations put in I assume because of the heat were very welcome.Date of review: August 5, 2007
In short: It's a bit tough.....Date of review: June 22, 2007

Free Gift - 3D Red/Cyan Anaglyph Glasses
Undoubtedly, "jump-out-of -the-screen" stereoscopic 3D technology is a rising trend in entertainment. In order to let our users experience 3D display in a simple way, ASRock specially provides a set of 3D Red/Cyan anaglyph glasses in our package.
3D Video Systems and 3D Viewing
3D video systems are designed to duplicate this real-world experience by providing each eye a unique version of the video. The 3D image is created by displaying a separate image for each eye. Objects in a 3D video might appear to be in front of or behind the screen. To view 3D video, the display technology and the corresponding 3D glasses insure that the left eye sees only the video meant for the left eye, and so on for the right eye.
Anaglyphic 3D
Mention 3D video, many people are of course familiar with 3D glasses, one red and one blue, cyan or green lens. The red/blue system is mainly used for traditional television and computer 3-D effects, and was used in older 3-D movies.
These glasses use the anaglyphic method of displaying a 3D image.
Anaglyph images are created by using color filters to remove a portion of the visible color spectrum from the image meant for each eye. When viewed through the color filters in the 3D glasses, each eye only sees the image that contains the portion of the color spectrum not filtered out by the lens. The disadvantage of Anaglyphic 3D is obvious; the overall image quality suffers as a large portion of the color spectrum is filtered out of the image for each eye.
HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
This motherboard supports HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which is an interface standard for transferring uncompressed video data and delivering multi-channel audio through a single cable. Both video and audio data signals transferred through the HDMI™ interface are digital without being converted into analog, therefore it delivers the richest pictures and the most realistic sounds.

There are no products matching the selection.
Its goes without saying that all of our products will be suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians. But to us, where products come from and how they are made is equally important.
Globally, the clothing industry will be one of the most exploitative industries around, but all of our products can be brought without any fear of contributing to this unacceptable situation.
As consumers we all have choices where we spend our money and it seems to us imperative to avoid buying products that add to suffering and injustice.
The items in this section will either be:
Fair Trade products, covered by the British Association of Fair Trade Shops (www.bafts.org.uk )
OR made in countries with a democratic political system so that there is some protection against exploitative working practices (UK and the USA).
You will also find clothing from the exiled Tibetan community in India plus T-shirts we sell, with proceeds going back to Street Dog Care (www.streetdogcare.com to support their work helping street dogs in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal.
So, great Vegan products from a trusted source, that has always guided our product sourcing in the past and will continue to be so for as long as we are in existence.

For those people that brew many teas in one session, do you have trouble getting your taste buds to survive all of the teas? Do you do anything special in-between teas (or with individual teas) in order to preserve your ability to taste?
As you might imagine the reason I ask, I recently had an experience where we had set up a series of 4 teas to try. The third one absolutely destroyed our taste buds (or, at least, definitely mine) so that the fourth one was pretty much untasteable. (And as a test, I kept that fourth tea until the next day and tried it, and it tasted quite nice).
I haven't done this type of thing much, so I'm curious what other people have tried, or if anybody even has this type of problem!

The Curse's Blessing - Page 2
Then, though it had been sunny for weeks, the clouds rolled in on race morning, and the rain blew in sideways as temperatures plummeted. You'd think this was bad luck, but no. The course that would've been smooth and fast became muddy and technical, which worked to my advantage since it felt just like snowshoeing. Speedy is not how I typically run races, but I can slide through slippery terrain like a river otter.
I finished second and thought the storm was over when the sun reappeared at the finish. But going home, I drove straight into a blizzard near Salt Lake City. The windshield wiper broke climbing up Soldier Summit pass, the wiper fluid ran dry and, when I stopped to scrape the window off, the ice scraper broke. Picking it up I noticed a big oil puddle forming under the car. My brakes were smoking down the pass as I coasted to save the dry engine from seizing. My face froze driving with my head out the window to see, and the water dripping in shorted out the window, leaving it stuck wide open in the blizzard.
At the bottom of the mountain, in Price, the sun popped out again and I patched up the car. With bad luck abating and adrenaline soaring, the only thing to do was run. It felt as natural as a fight-or-flight response. I respond to stress by running.
Visible from the highway, a dirt trail headed west into the San Rafael Swell, and I ran till the trail vanished, then I ran some more. I was flying!
That's when I found an old mine. I looked in. Then I found another, and another, and another ... It was fun exploring abandoned mines until I walked into the one with the upside-down crosses hung from the ceiling, several scrawled with "666." A big wooden dynamite box lid hung there too with "HE IS HERE" in black letters upon it. Four pitch-black tunnels led away underground beyond the display. It was way more effective than a "No Trespassing" sign.
Hairs stood up on the back of my neck, and before I could catch the creepiness, I was 10 kilometers east.
Arriving home I opened the mail and discovered my renters had bailed while I was gone, leaving me $2000 in the hole. And when I went to the unit and found damages in every room, like broken windows, foot-sized holes in walls and doors and carpets ruined, I ran hard. Eighteen miles flew by, as I barely noticed I was running.
The next day I was sore but the stove quit working and was blinking "F3" like a tornado warning. That's when mom called to tell me dad had fallen and broken five ribs. I couldn't get there because of my car, but I ran another 18 good miles. Then the toilet overflowed and my plunger cracked. The kitchen faucet broke and wouldn't shut off at the same time the drain seal failed. The answering machine broke, the TV receiver quit, the garage door rolled off its track and my computer fried itself.
They say bad things come in threes. Maybe they're right. I made a list and counted 33 of them in three weeks. But for every thing that went sour, my runs got longer or faster. Over 300 miles in three weeks. I'm getting close to a PR, so I hope the bad luck continues.
Bernie is a wishful thinker.

BBC News have confirmed that Ricky Hatton is returning to boxing this year.
I guess theres no reason why he shouldn't give it one more go round. There is really nothing he can do at this point to tarnish his legacy short of getting KO'ed in the first, and crapping himself in the ring. Hatton is one of my favorite fighters, but he really only has one big quality win, and that came over an old inactive Tsyzu. Hatton owes it to himself to get out there, and win a few more before retiring.
Personally I'm hoping that they might set up a British superfight against Amir Khan. However I doubt Amir's people would let the fight happen. Its a shame that promising young fighters today are so protected. Unfortunately boxing today is all about guys with meaningless records, rather then guys who build a reputation through fighting the best fighters out there.
The more I think about it though the more I want to see that fight happen. Khan is fast, but much like Naseem Hamed he is coasting by mostly on his natural athleticism. I could see a fight between Khan, and Hatton being a classic, and if Hatton is looking to have one more great fight before get out of boxing forever what better way then by beating, or passing the torch to the next great British light welter. For Khan the up side would be that if he loses he will get a quick lesson about what it is going to take for him to rise to the level of an elite fighter. If he wins he will be without a doubt the Brit to beat at light welter.
Sadly though I have a feeling that instead we will be seeing Hatton end his career fighting guys like Junior Witter.
One last question just for fun. Do any of you guys think that Hatton is a HOF'er? Personally I don't know. He has the titles, and he was the number one ranked light welter in the world for like two and a half years, but on the flip side he has only won one big fight against a very washed up Tszu, well two big fights if you count a very washed up Jose Luis Castillo. He's been KO'ed against the only two prime elite fighters he faced, and unless something crazy happens I don't see him fighting at that level again.

- Part of Collection:
- Subjects:Classroom Management
Enforcing Classroom Rules Part 2: Surrendering the 1-Up
- Grades: 6–8, 9–12
This was written by an actual high school student:
"What is teenage life to me? That's a good question. If I said what teenage life is to me in one word, it would have to be "hard." No one really gets you and you don't even really get yourself. You're just starting to figure yourself out, who you are and why you are here." - Anonymous
This was written by an actual high school student:
"What is teenage life to me? That's a good question. If I said what teenage life is to me in one word, it would have to be "hard." No one really gets you and you don't even really get yourself. You're just starting to figure yourself out, who you are and why you are here." - Anonymous
By the time most students enter into middle school, there are two profound truths that they have learned whether they realize it or not.
The first is that the world that they live in is controlled and manipulated by adults. The second is that they have to conform to those parameters if they are to be considered successful. This is true in almost every facet of teenage life. If kids don't listen to their parents or teachers, they get reprimanded. If they don't run fast enough, they don't make the team. In sum, teenagers have learned that much of their lives hinge upon whether or not they can please adults.
For this reason, teenagers have created their own private world where adults just seem to "not get it." Even the best and the brightest, even the ones with whom we have the best relationships are not excluded from this "world-beneath." These are simply the ones who know how to "play the game." Teachers, I challenge you to have your students complete the following sentence. "The people who know me the best are ..." Almost all students, regardless of how they perform in class, will say "my friends."
I point this out because there are three things that us teachers need to understand.
1) In almost all high school classes the default collective student sentiment is "us against you." Trust and respect must be earned and will not be given in deference to the position of being a teacher. Even for those students who respect all teachers in class, believe me, it's a different story during lunch time.
2) Most high school students feel at least some sense of abandonment from adults because they've figured out that their value is measured by what they can do and not by who they are. For example, they know that the teachers are nicer to the kids who always raise their hands or who get good grades. They know that coaches cut the players who are not fast enough.
3) Even though teenagers don't trust adults, almost all teens want to have some sort of meaningful relationship with a grown-up. I don't quite understand this, but I've found this to be true. Moreover, it's been my experience that my toughest and most wounded kids were the ones who craved meaningful relationships the most.
So what does all of this have to do with enforcing classroom rules? The answer to this questions is that we have to learn how to surrender the "1-up" mentality when dealing with our kids. The "1-up" mentality refers to the learned disposition of teenagers, that adults are always 1-up on them. Adults, by default, have a status advantage over teenagers and both parties know it.
Please don't misunderstand me when I say that we should surrender the 1-up. I am in no way saying that we should relinquish classroom authority. Rather, I'm saying that we have to change the way we use our authority so that respect, and not intimidation, is our means of running our classes.
Here's an example of what I mean:
A rule is presented such as no cell phones are allowed out in class. A student asks, "why not?" The teacher who relishes his 1-up status says, "because I said so and those are just the rules," and moves on. The teacher who surrenders the 1-up understands that, "because I said so," will only serve to build a wall between her and her kids. Instead, she explains that using a cell phone in a class setting is rude and that if she were to text message in a staff meeting it would be frowned upon. The teacher then goes on to explain that she wants the best for her kids and for them to have every professional advantage possible.
In terms of establishing the rule, the outcome of both scenarios is the same. However, one teacher is strengthening relational bonds, while the other is strengthening a relational-blocking wall.
I could spend forever talking about this, but I think that it would be best if I quickly summed up some characteristics of teachers who know how to effectively surrender the 1-up.
- The teacher does not embarrass students.
- The teacher praises publicly, but reprimands privately (as much as possible).
- The teacher acknowledges his mistakes.
- The teacher maintains professionalism even when students are belligerent.
- The teacher explains the logic behind rules instead of simply expecting student to accept "because I said so."
- The teacher allows students to voice their concerns about rules (not right away, but later on so as not to disrupt the flow of the class).
- The teacher is an advocate for students at parent-teacher conferences.
- If the teacher publicly reprimands a student, the student is restored immediately after.
- The teacher calls home for positive reasons in addition to negative reasons.
- The teacher distinguishes between things that are intentional and unintentional.
Believe it or not, once kids realize that we're not "out to get them," they're much more open than you might expect. Teenagers crave positive role-models in their lives whether they know it or not. Unfortunately, society has taught them that the only way that they're going to get noticed (that is positively noticed) is if they conform to the world of the adults.
Somebody much wiser than me once said, "nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care." This is something that perhaps we all already knew, but needed to remind ourselves of.
Warmest regards,
Justin Lim
Rosemead High School
El Monte Union High School District
Students want to know that teachers care, and they are in a safe environment.
Justin This is an amazing entry...I am thinking of how many times I simply moved past a question without really considering how the student might have felt with my response! I especially liked the list of characteristics of teachers who follow the 1 up..we might do well do paste that list on our desks or calendars! You have a lucky group of kids in your classrooms!
[Edit: Response]
Hi Kathy!
Thanks for encouragement!
I definitely agree with your comment. I really have to make a conscious effort to make sure that I respond well to my students' comments.
I also like your idea about posting those teacher characteristics on a desk calendar!
Warm regards,

Reclaiming Property?
This is an arrest warrant for Moses Honnor, a slave from Virginia who escaped to Pennsylvania in August 1859. It is part of the court record documenting his owner's successful efforts to capture Honnor. Congress had strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act as part of the Compromise of 1850. The law made it easier for masters to reclaim their "property," strengthened the Federal Government's role in returning slaves, and reduced a slave's legal protection.

It's Tuesday again, and that means one thing.... IBM Announcements! On the heels of [last week's announcements], IBM announced some additional products of interest to storage administrators.
- IBM Information Archive
Back in 2008, IBM [unveiled the Information Archive]. This storage solution provides automated policy-based tiering between disk and tape, with non-erasable non-rewriteable enforcement to protect against unethical tampering of data. The initial release supported [both files and object storage], with support for different collections, each with its own set of policies for management. However, it only supported NFS initially for the file protocol. Today, IBM announces the addition of CIFS protocol support, which will be especially helpful in healthcare and life sciences, as much of the medical equipment is designed for CIFS protocol storage.
Also, Information Archive will now provide a full index and search feature capability to help with e-Discovery. Searches and retrievals can be done in the background without disrupting applications or the archiving operations.
To learn more, read the [announcement letter].
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments V6.2 extends capabilities that currently exist in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. TSM backup/archive clients run fine on guest operating systems, but now this new extension improves backup for VMware environments. TSM provides incremental block-level backups utilizing VMware's vStorage APIs for Data Protection and Changed Block Tracking features.
To minimize impact to the VMware host, TSM for VE make use of non-disruptive snapshots and offload the backup processing to a vStorage backup server. This supports file-level recovery, volume-level recovery, and full VM recovery. Of course, since it is based on TSM v6, you get advanced storage efficiency features such as compression and deduplication to minimize consumption of disk storage pools.
To learn more, see the [announcement letter].
- IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Virtual Servers V6.2.3
IBM Tivoli Monitor has been extended to support virtual servers, including VMware, Linux KVM, and Citrix XenServer. This can help with capacity planning, performance monitoring, and availability. Tivoli Monitor will help you understand the relationships between physical and virtual resources to help isolate problems to the correct resource, reducing the time it takes for debug issues between servers and storage. See the [announcement letter].
Next week is [IBM Pulse2011 Conference] in Las Vegas, February 27 to March 2. Sorry, I don't plan to be there this year. It is looking to be a great conference, with fellow inventor Dean Kamen as the keynote speaker. For a blast from the past, read my blog posts from Pulse2008 [Main Tent sessions] and [Breakout sessions].

Posted on 03/27/2010 12:25:57 PM PDT by La Enchiladita
Hollywood stars and celebrities are generally considered to be a liberal and Democratic-leaning community, but these celebrities are all declared Republicans according to the FEC, or known conservatives.

He wants the gov't out of his wallet.
...and probably his gun collection.
Eh about Clint. He's wishy washy. I think he's more of a quasi libertarian than a conservative.
I actually like Bush. In some ways, Im the George W. Bush of hip hop — nobody likes me, but Im still gonna run it for the next four years. Rapper 50 Cent
I love Shannen Doherty, she has such a bad rap for some stuff she did when she was younger, and alot of the bad press she got was because she was very outspoken in what she believed. I think most of the bad press would not have been covered if she had been a good little lib. Regardelss, vote for Shannen and Mark on Dancing With the Stars!
They left out Freddie Prinze Jr, and Mickey Rourke.
They asked people to e-mail them about celebs left out.
Drew carey is a republican?? That's shocking.
The list seems to be slowly Growing. It's nice to see.
As a Conservative Union Actor (no, I'm not on that list)it's nice to see I'm not ...ALONE!!!
But Arnold Schwarzenneger doesn't belong on it. He is the living embodiment of a RINO.
They have our beloved Governator listed as a conservative. How credible is this list?
I bet there are more out there. Many are probably afraid that if their political affiliations were known, their careers would be over. In Hollywood, it doesn't matter so much whether you are talented, but your politics do matter. A shame.
Amd of course, there are probably those who keep their leanings secret mainly because they think it's none of our business. At the very least, they don't talk out of their backsides like Tom Hanks.
One who should be added, maybe ... heheheheheh
The Ultra Liberal TIM ROBBINS is apparently a CLOSET Republican.
For the last 8 to 10 years, he has been Donating to Republican Campaigns, including that of MICHELE BACHMANN.
I guess Susan Sarandon found out.. that would explain their breakup last year.
He's been so for years..
He has morphed into a Kennedy..
You jest!
This list is put together by CBS and they still love AHHNOLD.
to CBS.. anyone to the right of Stalin is probably a Conservative.
Most of the list is known to be accurate.. although HOPPER voted for Fuhrer Obama (lured by the DARK SIDE)and of Course RINO AHHNOLD
It's nice to see Sarah Michelle Gellar on the list.
I come across wacko liberals all the time in my job.
So, when I met her, I naturally assumed she was one of them.
But, she was extremely nice, cordial and down-to-earth.
I should have known.
Ruh-oh. I'm not sure about that. I'm viewing an interview he did with Neil Cavuto and it seems Neil was more interested in nailing Clint as a RonPaul libertarian than Eastwood cared to commit to. He does make an observation about conservatives being "masochistic"— haha.
"This is EIB."
I think that was before JEJ became the voice of CNN.
I like that she named her daughter something normal, I think the name is "Grace" or "Emily" something sweet and pretty, not something weird like "Pilot Inspektor" or "Moxie Crimefighter".
I don't remember that, so he was another surprise to me.
Do they show the names somewhere? I can't recognize some of these people. Some are dead anyway. The Demonrats vote dead people all the time, but not our side.
I checked out Tim Robbins on newsmeat.com after the above post and sure enough, he donated to a few Republicans....wonder what the reason was?
you just made my point..Clint doesn't really commit to anything hence wishy washy about what he really believes. And i don't blame him as Hollywood is intolerant of anything that's not left of center.
**You jest!**
Michele Bachmann made that announcement.. and a little investicating (I believe bighollywood.com) shown quite a list of Republican Candidates.
And it WOULD explain the Robbins/Sarandon SPLIT..
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... he's the one that outed ME (as a "rightwinger").
thanks for the post.
JEJ did the EIB spot to get BACK at CNN. CNN did not Pay the residuals for Using his Voice.
You can take 1/3 of that list away, because they have said/done things the opposite of what would make someone a 'Republican'. And if the rubber ever had to meet the road, you can remove another 1/3 from that list, too.
The numbers of African-American and Latin entertainers in that list should tell us that we don't have to write them off to the Dems. All we need is an effective message.
I know, I know, "What would that message be, TwelveOfTwenty?" How about, when the GOP succeeds, everybody wins. When the economy turned around after the Carter years, it turned around for everybody. When the Cold War ended, it ended for everybody. When Welfare Reform finally passed, everybody benefited from it.
James Woods has been very conservative and has some great quotes.
Scratch a liberal and youll find a fascist ... Im not joking. You look at whats happening in this country now. Catharine MacKinnon thinks that we should now limit free speech, anything that offends a woman should now no longer be allowed - no reasonable man or woman in this country would subscribe to that, its just insanity. (1994)
But, you know, feminists have just destroyed the world as we, know it. I havent met a woman lately, and Im talking about women who work and have a high position, who doesnt agree with that. It has just destroyed relationships between men and women. Men and women are very wary of each other now. I listen to these feminists rave about, How dare they attack Bill Clinton for having a little consensual sex act, but went nuts because Clarence Thomas allegedly made a joke about a Coke can. And the other guy is humiliating his wife and getting oral sex while hes talking about Bosnia to a congressman. Hello? Barbara Boxer is, you know, the most worthless, hypocritical feminist loser on the face of the earth .... I just loathe with every fiber of my being, liars. My second ex-wife was a liar. And Nixon was a liar. And this Clinton is a liar. I have no respect for him no matter what in the world he ever does.
My nightmare in life, my absolute fundamental, overwhelming, egregious nightmare, is Bill Gates vision of the future, where there will be a video camera on every corner and every conversation will be recorded. Man, Id rather put a pitchfork in my eyes than live in a world like that.
It's a fun, Saturday kind of thing, ya know?
My pleasure.
Some of these are losertarians and as such lean to the right on some things but are wackadoo on most.
There's probably a lot of Republicans who are undeclared, and also because of the unofficial Republican mantra of "It's nobody's business how I vote". Also they are not stupid enough to make videos like Demi Moore declaring they are a president's servant. (And these people wonder how Hitler got started).
What I would love to know is the number of Hollywood types that are freaked out by how tyrannical this administration is becoming, and perhaps don't want their medical info fed to the IRS. They are probably hiding in that proverbial closet.
Have the government's pay czar control what the Hollywood industry can make and their liberal numbers will dwindle.
How long ago? Was it because he was a commie or in CYA mode, at your expense. Somebody on a set once tried cornering me re: Beelzeflubba and Monica. I simply answered that the President violated his own tobacco poicy. A lot of laughter ensued, and the leftist idiot shut up..
James Woods was also on "The Spew" and called Beelzeflubba a murderer. Baba Wawa started having a conniption and he said something like": "OK, maybe manslaughter!"
$500 to J.D. Hayworth? Damn. Guess people just see things differently as they grow older. I know I certainly do. Don't see why Robbins should be any exception.
"James Woods was also on The Spew and called Beelzeflubba a murderer. Baba Wawa started having a conniption and he said something like: OK, maybe manslaughter!"
I missed that one! Woods is really interesting. Has an Iq of like 160, went to MIT. I'd like to see him in politics.
Dr. Phil and James Earl Jones? No way. Didn't Dr. Phil stump for Obama?
Former Marine.
His personality seems to fit the liberal stereotype...at least the one I have constructed in my mind. It just goes to show ya, you can never tell.
I used to think jay leno was a republican. I was wrong about that one too.
I didn't see Gary Sinise on there!
Yeah I believe he did a stint in the Marines... hence the ugly glasses. =)
Sarandon's mother and everyone on her mother's side are Republicans..that's why she's the black sheep of the family during any kind of get-togethers. How do I know this? They are members of the Hollywood Republicans are we share stories even here in Hollywood..
And what a Voice That Is.
Tim Robbins???? he was wacko left no way he flipped.... it would be a Saul/Paul Road to Damascus flip
Didn't Robert Downey Jr. make a couple of comments about how being in prison changed the way he looked at things?...or am I dreaming that? Seems like it was in some of the pub for Iron Man.

Today at Ethika Politika, Elyse Buffenbarger weighs in on violence and voyeurism in The Hunger Games:
Flipping between reality television and footage of the war in Iraq, Susan Collins was inspired to pen The Hunger Games. The dystopian young adult trilogy has been a runaway success both of page and screen: book sales number in the tens of millions, and in 2012, the first film took in nearly $700 million worldwide. (The next film, Catching Fire, releases tomorrow.)
Initially, I resisted the books for fear they were too violent — but then, at the urging of friends, family, and coworkers (all of whom I believed to have respectable taste), I devoured them in a weekend, and my husband did the same. The Hunger Games are literary alchemy, a breathless amalgam of all the tropes I loved as a child: romance, survival, and the poster child for strong female protagonists, Katniss Everdeen. When the first film came out, my husband and I rushed to the multiplex.
Collins' trilogy provides, at turns, masterful commentary on class disparity and violent voyeurism: Katniss and her companions excoriate the citizens of the Capitol for their decadence and rabid consumption of the Games. (Their disdain was contagious: for weeks after reading the books, I found myself asking, "Would someone from the Capitol do this?" before doing or saying anything.)
But while watching the films, my husband and I felt uneasy. This discomfort ran deeper than the typical distaste any reader feels when watching a beloved book adapted for the screen. Watching children slaughter each other was very different than reading about it.
Her concerns immediately reminded me of St. Augustine's critique of cathartic entertainment in his Confessions: (more…)

One of the things I really appreciate working at Mozilla is the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with really talented people, such as Ian Lynam and Craig Mod.
Ian and Craig took the time and effort to put together a compelling look at typography on the web now that Firefox 3.5 supports @font-face.
Thank you to Craig and Ian for a wonderful exploration of what is possible now today with @font-face and what they hope will be possible for typography on the web in the near future. Open standards and modern browsers are proving to be more and more capable and it is important for designers to know what is now possible and for browser vendors and the W3C to get feedback on what designers want in the future.

Welcome one and all to TeaDay, please share what is in your cup today...alllll day. So, stop back often if you can. Another option is to reflect back on your TeaDay. While here, be nosy and check out what everyone else is sipping! This is more fun for me than even boasting about my Japanese brews!
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic...has either TeaChat and/or TeaDay caused you to try a tea that you were not planning on trying otherwise. Share some details with us...this should be interesting.
I am loking forward to hearing what is in your cups...and what tea we forced you to try!!!

Folley Ridge
DescriptionThe Folley Ridge Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is northwest of Croydon, Utah. This CWMU is in two distinct areas. The south area follows the Folley Ridge which ranges between 7000 feet in the south to 8300 feet in the north. The north border of the south area is around 8100 feet, to the east about 7200 feet, to the south 5400 feet and to the west 6800 feet. The north area is northeast of the south area. The north area highest point is Guilder Peak at around 8300 feet. To the north the area is 8100 feet, to the east 8000 feet, to the south also 8000 feet, and to the west 8300 feet like Guilder Peak. The most common elevation is 8200 feet but ranges from 5400 feet to 8400 feet with an elevation difference of 3000 feet. Fifty-two percent (52%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6100 feet and 7700 feet an elevation difference of 1600 feet.
Most of the Folley Ridge Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is covered by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). The next most common land cover type is Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). This Forest and Woodland is more prominent on the north section of the Unit. Another prominent land cover type particularly on the south section is Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41). Although in a minor role Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23) is present on both the north and south sections.
One of the Folley Ridge Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, MORGAN (425826), is about 9.8 km southwest from the southwest edge of the CWMU. MORGAN has one hundred five (105) years of records, 1903 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.80 inches, but it can be as high as 7.28 inches or as low as 0.46 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 18 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 11 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 7.3 inches but can be as high as 25.3 inches. FALL temperature at MORGAN averages 46.9 degrees F. but can be as high as 98.0 degrees F. or as low as -12.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 53 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 1 day above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Beliefs questioned
To the Journal editor:
Okay, let me get this straight. The voters of this state rejected the emergency manager concept in November and the Republicans in our legislature brought it back in December?
I think we've fallen down the rabbit hole here and there's some pretty scary, undemocratic creatures residing at the bottom.
(Gov.) Rick Snyder, do you and your associates believe in democracy at all?

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by AchyFeet wanted to try this product My husband bought me two types of compression socks for Christmas. This was the more expensive and more stylish of the two pairs. Putting it on was easy and did not require my husbands help; unlike the other one. The manager at the store sized my foot to both the socks so I am sure they are the right size for me. The compression on this one is a bit lacking but comfortable. I prefer more compression. The fit is off because the neck of the sock covers all the way to my knee bend; which makes me feel itchy. Both the 2 brand are very popular. But this pair was not for me. I plan to return this one and get another pair of the other. January 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by CNT LOVE these socks! They fit great, and I can feel the difference when I run in these compression socks. June 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by LL too small Don't order your regular size!!!! Away too small!!!!!! May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jc of Bend Great support This sock works very well for me as I am recovering from Achilles Tendon surgery. It keeps the swelling down and therefore keeps my pain down. I find I can be more active with this sock. Love all of the bright color selections. It is a bit of an effort to get this sock on and off July 31, 2013

Mississippi College's Clinton campus will soon be a little larger. MC has entered a contract to purchase the former Clinton Junior High School property fronting Clinton Parkway and College Street in the heart of downtown Clinton.
Purchased for a winning auction bid of $3,500,100, the 17.5-acre property will provide much-needed room for MC to physically expand. With virtually every square inch of the current campus occupied, the university was in pressing need of extra space. MC has hired Richard Dean, an architect and campus planner, to help explore options and determine how to best use the new space.
"Our programs and enrollment are growing and with the purchase of this property, MC has the opportunity to grow physically as well," says MC President Dr. Lee Royce. "This is a beautiful piece of property, and the location could not be better in terms of proximity to our campus. This is just the right piece of property and it became available at just the right time."
Satellite Campus Opens in Flowood
Classes at the Flowood Center, MC's satellite campus in Flowood, Mississippi, will begin August 23. The Flowood Center will host MC's Accelerated Degree Programs (ADP), replacing satellite campuses in Madison and Brandon. Located at 115 Laurel Park Cove adjacent to the Flowood Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center on Lakeland Drive, the Flowood Center features eight classrooms and will also offer live classes via video and audio. Geared toward working adults, the ADP classes allow students to earn degrees in business administration, accounting, marketing, public relations, and sociology. Courses are offered in eight-week sessions that meet two nights per week. Registration for classes beginning August 23 is August 19. For more information, contact Bebe Garrison at 601.925.7617 or email@example.com.

It's Possible: Great Work-at-Home Jobs, Great Parenting
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Does being a stay-at-home parent mean never having the job of your dreams?
Hardly. Thanks to improved technologies and employers' more relaxed attitudes about telecommuting, working at home in a rewarding career and being there for your kids is not only possible -- it's highly doable.
That's the opinion of Jeremy Anderson, director of client services at FlexJobs.com, an online job services provider. Anderson not only analyzes good jobs for a living, he also works at home while taking care of his kids.
"I'm often surprised by some of the jobs that come through that allow you to work from home or have part-time hours or other accommodating arrangements," Anderson says. "For example, a couple of times I've seen positions for neurosurgeons! One was more of a consulting job and the other actually did on-call operations but could work out of their home in between surgeries."
Anderson can attest to the time saved on commutes. Before working from home, Anderson faced a work commute of 45 minutes each way, which he notes is 7.5 hours per week and 375 hours per year. "That is a lot of time! It's liberating to ditch the commute," he says.
"Before I had my job, I thought it was a pipe dream to be able to find a professional job that had flexibility, let alone jobs you could do from home, but there are so many opportunities out there that I think many people don't realize," he says.
He listed some work-from-home job titles he thought would be surprising to many:
- CEO/executive director
- Tech adviser
- County transportation planner
- Director of global advertising
- Director of strategic accounts
- Grant writer and manager
- K-12 teacher
- Online fitness coach
- Project manager
- RN coach
- Senior trial attorney
Anderson had advice on how to find work-at-home jobs:
If there is a particular company you are interested in, check its website for openings. Flexible job options are becoming more common as companies save companies money on overhead, turnover -- and studies, including one conducted by Stanford show that people are more productive without office distractions.
For those currently working, propose a plan to your boss. Let them know how you will track your productivity and ask for a trial run.
If you are straight-up looking for a job that has flexibility, set up Google (GOOG) alerts for the position and type of flexibility in which you are interested; let others know that you are looking, because you never know who may know of an opportunity. Be active on LinkedIn (LNKD) and research companies who offer job flexibility . Of course I also recommend joining FlexJobs, with our staff researching jobs that offer flexibility as they come up and weeding out potential scams along the way to offer legitimate, scam-free professional-level flexible jobs. If FlexJobs isn't for you, just be careful in your search, as there are 60 scams to everyone legitimate job.

Dog Shooting in Rogue River A Mystery
Investigators say somebody fired a gun directly into the mouth of a 2-year-old mixed-breed dog that was found bloody and tied to the porch of a Southern Oregon animal clinic. A veterinarian says the dog's survival depends on the wire holding his jaw together. She says the wound is leaking, but the dog is eating watered-down food.
The Medford Mail Tribune reported Wednesday the dog was found Friday. It had no tags. A veterinary worker describes the dog as friendly.
Rogue River Police Chief Ken Lewis describes the shooting as "execution-style," with the gun muzzle stuck in the dog's mouth. He notes that people have a right to defend themselves if animals turn vicious and charge. He says it's a felony count if the shooting was without provocation.
