It seems a trend lately to take midfielders and have them play
defender. IE., Brek Shea, Robbie Rodgers, and Brad Evans
when he is not playing center back, to name a few.
Am I the only one who thinks Brek Shea may be better on the
wing? Maybe it's a waste of sorts to have him at defender?
Couldn't Robbie Rodgers still play wing?
What do you guys think of this?

Over the past several years, the game has evolved that way. Wing defenders, particularly on the strong side, have become attacking players. To bring someone that far back into the attack you need people who are athletic and who can run their butts off. The guys you mention fit the bill.
The main problem is that these players also need to have the skills to defend.

Raymond Gaddis is another example too, gets into the attack
often and has the speed to get back to defend also. In the
home opener he had a good rapport with Wenger playing on
the wing so hopefully they will continue this (and some assists
for Gaddis would be a plus, my defenders need to start getting
some points)

I think Rogers could still play wing but that's not
what was needed last year when he switched.

I think Shea is different from Rogers. The latter is more of a wing
man (no pun intended)*, but Shea's best years came playing in
the left with freedom to cut to the middle in attack, instead of
sticking to the line. He is not a great passer on the run (not
having to stop and lose a step to put a cross on the run, the true
signature of great wingers) or particularly gifted in the dribble
unless he has plenty of room; but rather seeing and running into
spaces at the back of the defense, and really good pressing up
and cutting diagonals into the area. He needs room inside and a
good, fast left back to double him on the left. The problem is
that requires the midfield to be less crowded (easier to set with
only one defensive mid than with two, as most teams seem to
prefer these days).
He can adapt to left back (tall and good in the air - check;
athletic -check; has a left foot - check), but I definitively think
that he is more of a classic left mid (what in Spain we call a
interior mid) than a winger (extremo), like Rogers was. I am with
John in seeing it as a bit of a waste. Particularly as he
demonstrated that he can be totally dominant as a midfielder
when placed in the right system.
* Well, I admit it, maybe a tiny bit of pun intended.

Momentary Passion
It mattered not at all to Jackson Terry that he was the first and only member of his race to accomplish a feat in the 203-year history of Laurens County. His lust for money and its evil roots, along with too much of the spirits, led to his undesirable title. Since and before 1840, Jackson Terry was the first and only white man in the history of Laurens County, Georgia to be legally hung by his neck until his death.
Jackson Terry wandered from place to place in search of a way to make a living. He wound up in Virginia, where he met one Captain James Hannah. The captain, a robust man of 60 years of age with tolerably long snow white hair, hired Terry to drive his wagon to Macon, Georgia, where they planned to sell tobacco. Terry had lived in Macon before, so it seemed only natural to take the assignment as a way of getting back to familiar territory and making a good wage in the process.
Terry and Hannah agreed that in compensation for his services, Terry would receive the excess profits of more than fifteen cents per pound for tobacco which would get wet when the wagon crossed creeks and rivers along their path. In his spare time, Terry diligently worked on stripping the damaged leaves. At first, the salvaged tobacco brought a handsome profit of ten cents per pound for Jackson, who expected to be paid at the end of each day. Each night Terry requested his pay. And each night, the Captain refused his demands.
The two men stopped at Steele's Mill on the Pee Dee River in North Carolina, where they purchased a 10-gallon keg of whiskey. Along their way, Terry, at Captain Hannah's request, sold whiskey, which in Terry's words was, "contrary to the laws of the state." They stopped again in Camden, South Carolina, where they refilled the keg and resumed the dispensing of spiritous liquors to any thirsty traveler with money.
At one point in South Carolina, their scheme was nearly discovered by an overseer of a group of slaves. Terry distracted the overseer by telling him that the dog they had with them would bite if the man went near the wagon without him. The ruse worked. Captain Hannah had enough time to hide the keg and the men went on their way. Terry later self servingly explained, "After this, I was determined to sell no more spirits, and on my refusal to do so, Capt. Hannah became vexed." Terry related that Hannah had cursed him although he thought him to be a member of the Methodist Church. The driver continued, "Captain Hannah said he would as soon be at the Devil as to have one in his employment who would not obey his orders." Despite Terry's resolution to stop selling liquor, Capt. Hannah refilled the keg in Augusta.
The relationship between the two travelers began to unravel at their campsite in Louisville, Georgia. Terry started a fire and set out some meat and coffee to cook. Realizing the deluge of rain made it impossible to cook bread, Terry went into town to find a freshly cooked loaf. Upon his return, Jackson found that the Captain had eaten his supper and thrown out the leftovers before retiring for the night. Terry held his tongue. In fact, both men did, well into the next morning. When they began to talk, Terry reported that the Captain used very harsh language against him.
It was still raining the next night when the two-horse wagon pulled into a campsite near Robert Higdon's mill on Hunger and Hardship Creek, just north of the village of Dublin. Terry cooked supper and laid it out on a stool, along with a sufficient cup of whiskey. Instantly, Hannah forbade his driver's attempt to drink any coffee out of a small iron pot. After the Captain finished his meal, Terry took the coffee out of the pot and drank it.
As the next day dawned, Terry and Hannah talked of heading to Clinton in Jones County. "He wanted to go by a circuitous route, and I thought it was out of the way to go by the route he recommended," confessed Terry, who had only promised to go to Macon. Hannah ordered Terry to grease the axles of his wagon, which he did. The discussion became more heated. Hannah threatened to knock Terry in the head with a spike. Terry retorted, "Get me a switch large enough to whip me!" Tempers subsided. When Terry asked Hannah how he wanted a squirrel cooked for breakfast, there was no reply. The squirrel was thrown into the frying pan along with some other victuals. Hannah complained about the food, to which Terry responded, "If you get me some good food, I will cook it." Hannah complained the bread was too thick, so Terry cooked a thinner piece. Hannah asked for a dram of liquor with his coffee. Both men began to imbibe one drink after another.
Captain Hannah stood up, picked up a knife, and assaulted the five-foot-tall Terry, who reached for an axe and whacked the Captain across the neck, nearly severing his head. Jackson panicked. He called to the Captain by name. There was no answer. He ran down to the mill pond and filled his bucket with clean water. Terrified and regretting what he had just done, Terry ran back up the hill, started a lightwood fire and went over to his comrade to check if he was still alive. As he saw blood spuing from Hannah's neck, he realized he had killed his antagonist. Terry stated that he told Hannah that this was his fault and he should have left him alone. Terry rifled through Hannah's belongings, taking about a hundred dollars and some of his papers. He cut the rope tied to one horse and set out to Wilkinson County to the north. He stopped for the night at Mr. King's house before going to Macon.
As the day light illuminated the scene, Captain Hannah's bloody corpse was found. Incensed at the murder, local officials began to investigate. They came up with a description of the murder and word got out as fast as it could. There were no newspapers, phones, or telegraphs around. John M. Higdon and John Spicer offered a reward for the suspect's capture, a man by them as "Terrell." Investigators followed the old dog which had accompanied the men and the other horse, which broke his rope and followed Terry's horse. A few days later, Jackson Terry was arrested at the race track in Macon. Hannah's papers and cash were found on his person.
Jackson Terry was kept in the Laurens County jail until he was indicted by the Grand Jury. A trial was held on June 15, 1840. Judge Carleton Cole was sitting on the bench. Solicitor General William Wiggins called the case to trial. Representing the pauper Terry were Isham Saffold, Thomas C. Sullivan, Augustin Hansell and Peter Early Love, all very prominent attorneys. Hansell and Love, a native of Laurens, were both prominent jurists and statesmen in the latter half of the 20th Century.
After a brief trial, jury foreman Stephen B. Hester read the verdict of guilty. Three days later, Judge Cole ordered that Terry be hung by his neck until his death. On Friday, July 24, 1840 between the appointed hanging times of between ten and two, Jackson Terry walked up the gallows.
When asked, Jackson Terry confessed the story, his story, which you have just read. He concluded his repentance by saying, "I am doomed to die, and today I shall pay the great debt of nature, the only retribution I can offer for my crime - a crime which was committed under the influence of a momentary passion and for which I most seriously repent. And, may the Lord have mercy on my soul. Amen." The trap door dropped - another death on Tobacco Road.

Everyone's going MOOC-crazy these days. From frequent media coverage of online courses and platforms like Coursera, edX, Udacity, and Udemy to discussions about the complexities and business models of online education, the excitement around MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) has finally "bubbled" over.
The question is not just whether MOOCs are going to disrupt traditional education, but how. Is it just about lower costs and access? Is it really going to be a Napster-like moment with entrenched "Teamsters in tweed" worried about the erosion of their research, publishing, and teaching?
This is where we can leave the realm of hype and commentary to draw on our own years of research into disruption theory. Because the curious thing about the MOOC wave of disruption is that the market leaders — not just upstarts from the edges — are the ones pioneering it. And that rarely happens.

Agresividad, Regresión y comportamiento infantil.
Tristeza y depresión. Introversión.
Eliminación arbitraria de objetos deseables.
Se Impide a los individuos que completen un trabajo.
Se Induce en los sujetos sentimientos de fracaso y la desconfianza hacia sus propias capacidades.
Refreno desde el exterior a la expresión de los impulsos del individuo y la afirmación de su propia personalidad.
Se Fomenta las discrepancias entre los deseos y las posibilidades de satisfacerlos. Se Implanta un liderazgo insatisfactorio.

Steelers champ Franco Harris wins role in 'Aida'
September 10, 2013
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Franco Harris is going from Super Bowl champ to "Champion of Champions."
The Pittsburgh Opera says the Steelers' Hall of Famer will be featured in its season-opening production of "Aida."
The Tribune-Review of Pittsburgh (http://bit.ly/15O6W3C) reports the retired running back will be "Champion of Champions," a silent, ceremonial role found in the second act.
Performances begin Oct 12.
Harris won four Super Bowls with the Steelers. More recently, the former Penn State star has been an outspoken supporter of the late coach, Joe Paterno, who lost his job in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

Plymouth boys come up short in Senior Night dual with Wawasee
PLYMOUTH — When senior sprinter Sam Stevens' season ended with a pulled hamstring over the weekend, Plymouth boys track coach John Barron knew his team would be in for an uphill battle with Wawasee.
Add to that a number of personal bests by the Warriors at Wednesday's Northern Lakes Conference dual meet, and the Pilgrims couldn't quite get it done in a 75-57 Senior Night loss.
In the end, the Pilgrims fell a relay short — ending the night on a high note with a victory in the 4x400 but falling short of a top finish in the other two relays — while Kevin Carpenter's PR 11-foot mark upended the Pilgrims' hopes of a one-two finish in the pole vault, the home team was outgunned in the distance events as Adam Doll won both the 800 and the 1600 and the Warriors swept the top three spots in the two-mile, and the visitors went one-two in both jumping events.
"Coming into tonight, when Sam pulled his hamstring we had to jockey some things around to try and scratch and get as many points as we could," said Barron. "We knew it would be a struggle. We needed to win one more relay, and we couldn't get that done. We certainly tried… and those are 5-0 swings so it's really a 10-point swing in a meet."
"We had some momentum coming into this meet. We had our kids believing we could get the job done," he added. "I don't think it was a matter of not performing. Scott Lancaster, the Wawasee coach said he had several PRs by his kids tonight, so that kind of got us."
While Plymouth finished short of the team win on Senior Night, the Pilgrims did see a quartet of strong finishes from a pair of senior throwers and a pair of junior runners Wednesday.
Michigan football recruit Dan Samuelson and Adam Lacefield finished one-two in the weight events as Samuelson clinched first in both with a throw of 154-03 in the discus and a 51-05.25 mark in the shot put, while Lacefield followed close behind with a 48-05 distance in the shot and a best throw of 132-09 in the discus.
The duo have consistently swept the top two spots in their events throughout the season, swapping back and forth in order of finish. Barron said the friendly rivalry between the classmates — as well as the efforts of PHS throwing coach Gary Fribley — has pushed them to the top of the conference.
"I think competition breeds success. You can't be the best on our schedule if you're not the best on our team," said Barron. "Whether it's in practice or it's a meet, Dan will win the discus and then Adam will win the shot or vice versa. They have a great relationship; it's almost like a sibling rivalry. I think Adam enjoys the fact that he's beating a big-time Division I recruit, and he reminds him of that every time he beats him. They're just fun to be around."
While Samuelson and Lacefield were responsible for the lion's share of Plymouth's points in the field, junior sprinter Michael Hartman led the Pilgrims on the track.
Hartman went four-for-four in wins Wednesday, claiming top finishes in the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes with respective times of 11.63, 23.64 and 52.01 and his turn as anchor on Plymouth's winning 4x400 helped hold off Wawasee's Clayton Cook for the Pilgrim's lone relay win of the night.
Unusually big for a sprinter, Barron said Hartman's offseason work in the weight room is a big part of what has the junior's success.
"Michael Hartman, he's our top point-getter. He won everything tonight," said Barron. "That's kind of been a theme for him all year. He's only been beaten once by the Elkhart Memorial kid in the 400. He has a great attitude, he hates to lose, he's great for the younger kids. I think his strength training in the winter time really have helped his flexibility and his mental toughness."
While Hartman led Plymouth in the sprints, classmate Mason Reed bolstered the Pilgrims in the middle distance races.
Reed's only win of the night came in the 1600 relay, where he, Hartman, senior Clay Corsbie and freshman Jack Barron clocked a 3:40.6, but he finished second in three other events at Wednesday's dual meet, finishing second in the 800 behind Doll with a 2:07.66, second behind Hartman in the 400 with a 53.1 and combining with Barron, Austin Rose and senior Brandon Brashere for second place in the 3200 relay with a season-best time of 8:48.24, roughly 10 seconds better than the group's previous best.
"Mason has a lot of talent," said Barron. "A couple years ago we talked to him about going from football to cross country, and I don't do that very often, but I just saw his talent in running. He certainly has helped our cross country team. He has been right there in the 800 in all of our meets, he's scored points in first, second or third. Tonight we put him in four running events, and it was tough — he ran the open 400, the 800, the 4x4 and the 4x8. He's just a guy that we have to have get better as we get into the conference meet and the sectional. He certainly is the leader of that middle distance group."
Wednesday's meet was the second and final regular-season home meet for the Pilgrims, and the team took time out to honor its nine seniors — Cosbie, Samuelson, Lacefield, Rose, Stevens, Brashere, Zach Kleckner, Kameron Eisenhour and Ezra Ganshorn — prior to the start of competition.
Barron praised his upperclassmen in general, and in particular longstanding team members Rose, Samuelson, Lacefield, Cosbie and Stevens — whose track career was cut short by a pulled hamstring shortly after re-entering the Plymouth lineup following shoulder surgery in the offseason — after the meet.
"Our seniors have had a great attitude all year," said the Plymouth boss. "Dan and Adam have been first or second competing with each other in every meet; every night we can count on those points and it's just been huge. Austin Rose, I think about how hard he practices and how hard he gives everything he can to our program. It's unfortunate that Sam Stevens has been injured. I really feel bad for him because he's really been all in with track as much as he possibly can in his four years, and we'll miss his presence and his leadership. Corsbie has been a multiple event guy for us running the hurdles, pole vaulting.
"Over the years those guys as a group have really done a nice job."

The Royal College of Psychiatrists is selling a brand
new range of 'Get well soon' cards designed specifically for
people who are unwell with mental ill health. These cards have
been designed in collaboration with service users, carers,
psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.
Research shows that people who are unwell with mental
problems receive far fewer cards or messages of support than people
with physical health problems, but a College survey shows that 8
out 10 service users say that receiving a 'Get well' card
would improve their recovery.
Individual copies are free, but please send an A5 stamped (53p
postage) addressed envelope to:
Leaflets Department,
The Royal College of Psychiatrists,
21 Prescot Street,
London E1 8BB.
The cards have received celebrity backing from TV
personality, Trisha Goddard:
"When I was diagnosed
with breast cancer last year, I was inundated with 'Get Well Soon'
cards, all of which were really touching. If you're thinking
I only got those cards because I'm in the public eye, let me just
tell you this: when I lived in Australia, I was equally in the
public eye and yet when news leaked out that I was in a psychiatric
hospital following a breakdown – not a peep! No cards and
certainly no flowers.
If anything increases
feelings of isolation and unworthiness just when you're at your
lowest ebb, this does. Feeling 'invisible' because people avoid you
not knowing what to say rubs salt into a wound, which sometimes
takes a long time to heal. That's why I support this brilliant idea
from the College. It's a great way of reminding people that a
few kind words and a card can help you deal with the pain; whether
the hurt is in your heart or your head!"
Further endorsements of the cards by service
Proceeds from sales of the cards will help to continue producing
the College's award-winning mental
health information, particularly in paper form. Many
people, including the elderly or people from disadvantaged
backgrounds, don't have access to the internet and value our
printed materials. The College does not receive any government
funding towards the production of its materials.
The cards form part of the
College's current Fair Deal
campaign as they promote the concept that you can
recover from mental ill health and that service users rarely
receive cards, flowers, chocolates or grapes.

Adam and Eve recommends the Crystal High Intensity Bullet 2 for clitoral and vaginal stimulation.
The bullet vibrator is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based or silicone-based sex lubes. After using the vibrator, wash it carefully in warm, soapy water. Rinse your sex toy clean and let it dry before storing the vibrator with the rest of your sex toy collection.

Armando Uvalle said he had noticed a slender man standing a few yards behind him as Uvalle watched his six children playing near the water at North Avenue Beach.
The man held a briefcase and a bag, and he seemed to mutter to himself, said Uvalle, 30. He struck Uvalle as strange, but the Uvalles often went to the beach, and the dad always saw a few odd people in the crowd. That's why you have to keep a close eye on your kids, he said.
Uvalle's 2-year-old son, Isaiah, was tugging on Uvalle's shorts Saturday, and Uvalle was watching the boy's siblings play. His wife, parents and brother and sister-in-law were nearby as well.
But for at least a few seconds, the Uvalles' outing became a nightmare: an attempted kidnapping. In a swift turn of events, however, the attempted child abduction was thwarted by Uvalle.
The father and police said Isaiah was only a few inches from his father when the mumbling stranger, a 37-year-old convicted child molester named Tyrone Hill, scooped up the toddler and carried the boy down the beach at a fast walk.
Uvalle said he ran after Hill and immediately snatched Isaiah back.
"I didn't think about it, I just grabbed (Isaiah)," Uvalle said. "I told (the man): 'You're lucky I don't beat your ass.'"
Still carrying his son, Uvalle flagged down a police officer standing a few feet away writing a ticket. Hill was caught down the beach by other officers, who had been given his description.
"They did a good job," Uvalle said. "They got him fast."
On Sunday morning, Hill was ordered held without bond on charges of attempted aggravated kidnapping and unlawful restraint. His public defender said that Hill is schizophrenic, and Hill was to be placed in the Cook County Jail hospital.
Police confiscated a briefcase and a bag from Hill, but court records did not list their contents.
Meanwhile, the Uvalles, who stayed at the beach on Saturday well after Hill was taken away in a squad car, were home in Cicero and considering heading back to the city to watch the Fourth of July fireworks at Navy Pier.
"It's a lot (of children)," he said. "We always watch them close. Now we got to watch them closer."
Isaiah seemed none the worse for his ordeal Sunday afternoon as he played with his sisters and cousins on the family's porch. He was only taken for a few seconds, and even then, the boy didn't cry, his father said.
"When I grabbed him, he didn't want me to put him down anymore," Uvalle said. "He didn't want to be (on the ground) for a while."
During a news conference at the beach Saturday night, police Commander Leo Schmitz of the gang enforcement unit lauded the Uvalles for keeping a close eye on their children at the beach and for acting quickly to alert police.
"(The father) had to fight to get the child out of his hands," Schmitz said."I think the father, like most fathers, had as much strength as he needed at the time."
Hill was convicted of the aggravated criminal sexual assault of a 7-year-old in 2001 in a case charged in 1997, and in 2010 for failure to register as a sex offender, according to court records and prosecutors. At the time of the attack in the 1997 case, Hill was 16, according to sex-offender registry records.
The state Sex Offender Registry lists Hill as "non-compliant" for not providing accurate registration records. Current tenants at the address in the Marquette Park neighborhood that Hill listed in court records and the sex offender registry said Hill had not lived there since at least November.

Having drainage holes provides breathability, allows water to disperse quickly and helps these boots dry fast.

Browse these quartz countertop companies with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Peekskill.
Had a new kitchen sink and faucet installed which ended up needing some trimming of the hole in the countertop. The was done with no additional charge for the extra labor time from the quotes. Overall great experience.
I hired Stone-Tec to repair chips in my quartz kitchen countertop and to re-grout my shower floor. The kitchen counter top repair came out amazing- I cannot even see where the chips used to be. The shower re-grout was much more affordable then re-tiling the area. It now has a fresh clean look. Tony removed the old grout and put in new puddy colored grout (so dirt would not show). They are responsive, punctual and will work with you till your satisfaction.
Repair was near perfect for removal of several deep chips on our cheaply made quartz countertop. I would only suggest a more thorough clean up, as some clients might expect this, but for me it was not a big deal as I would (there was still a small amount of residual dusting on the floors resulting from the polishing process). After vetting several other providers, Angel's price was very good and his work was excellent. He also comes across as a very nice and honest guy. First 5 pictures are pre-repair, last two are post repair.
A bathroom and a kitchen. He did tile work in the bathroom and he installed kitchen cabinets and a countertop. The job location was in Brooklyn. East NY to be exact. The time he took to do the job was before his aloted estimated time. The service was great and everything was done with passion and excellence. I could tell he loves doing what he does. He arrived at the job half an hour before his actual time to work. He's a punctual guy. The quality of his work is amazing. Im happy I hired him. Im very satisfied, and I would recommend him to anybody who's interested in professionally done work.
We had a reclaimed wood countertop installed with some additional general contracting around the apartment. Gesnel did an outstanding job on our small project. Very professional, offered great advice and paid attention to detail. Would certainly recommend.
I cannot say enough great things about Geo's Marble and Granite Corp. I found Geo through thumbtack and he immediately responded to my inquiry, and visited that same day to take measurements and schedule install. He installed a gorgeous white quartz countertop for us within the week, and did an exceptional job with the waterfall addition over the side of our cabinets. Geo was extremely responsive to our questions, timely, professional, and personable. He was beyond a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him.
Badly scratched marble countertop was restored better than new! Beautiful, mirror polished finish. Great work, good price, Ken showed up right on time and finished when he predicted. Will gladly hire him again.
I hired Osman to install quartzite countertop in my kitchen. He did a great job right from the day he stopped by to give an estimate. He was very professional, punctual, patiently answered all questions and gave me the confidence that I am hiring the right person for the job. I am happy with the outcome of the work. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to a friend.
The first time that I used Jay-Quin contractors was about 15 years ago when they did cement work for me. They did my patio, driveway, steps and sidewalk. None of the cement work has ever cracked which is why I called them for my next job. They did the retiling of my downstairs bathroom. The work was flawless and I never needed to call them back for anything. The next job was in my kitchen. They installed a new kitchen countertop and installed the new appliances. They also painted the kitchen. The next job was to remove the bathtub in the master bathroom and to put in a shower. The work that they did was outstanding. They purchased tiles to match my bathroom tiles and installed a beautiful mosaic in the shower. You would never know there was a bathtub in the bathroom. They also removed paneling from the two smaller bathrooms and smoothed out the walls and painted the rooms. Friends who have seen the rooms cannot tell there was ever paneling in the two bedrooms. I also wanted a light and a ceiling fan in each room. That was also done. The most amazing thing about Jay-Quin is not only the magnificent work that they do, but they never leave dirt around to clean up. They vacuumed every day and cleaned up as much as they could. I would never consider using any other contractor for any work in my home. The workers are extremely nice. They work as fast as they can and their work is precise. This is an amazing company and I would never think of hiring anyone else to work in my home.
Hiram and his son Matt were outstanding. They truly cared about my wants. Hiram fixed a bad install of a marble countertop by a horrible installer to look the way I envisioned. My kitchen is now beautiful. They installed my backsplash perfectly. They have pride in their work and truly care about the customers satisfaction. They were always on time,courteous, professional and had very fair pricing. I highly recommend them you will not be disappointed!
My bathroom and kitchen was in such a condition, however Brooklyn Service Group did an excellent work on revitalize my bathroom and kitchen with granite countertops and marble floors with the help of preference. I was satisfied with the work performance and the proficient effort to complete the task in a professional manner.
I needed my granite countertop removed, and preserved to be reinstalled, a project which no one else wanted to take on. They did a great job and were very careful with it, so it did not break.
I had my countertop fixed, very happy with the results, definitely will call again.
Very nice people. Went there to choose a granite for my countertops. They were very helpful in helping me decide. The price was amazing and installation time was quick. Vey happy with A&A
I love my kitchen. it's even better than I thought it could be. The team at procraft worked with me and included me in the process. They have an attention to detail that matches my own. The project moved along as planned. there was a delay because the new countertop took 2 weeks to fabricate. That was handled by another provider that I am also happy with. After the delay we got back up and running. Problem solving always takes more time that you think it will or than you want it to, but I never felt that they rushed through a solution just to finish. I felt that the estimate was a fair price and that the changes we made and the price adjustments were appropriate. The team was also respectful of my living space and responsive to my suggestions and questions. Their services do not include the cost of the materials, tile, cabinets, lighting, appliances. I already have a few other projects in my head and I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have a major crush on Orly Taitz, the lawyer/dentist/crusader who has made it her life's mission to expose the fact that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the US and hence ineligible to be president. I have from time to time been chronicling her adventures.
Her campaign has taken her to courthouses around the country filing suits challenging Obama's right to be on ballots and demanding access to documents that she thinks will reveal the truth about hid foreign birth. Given that judges repeatedly have rejected her attempts and have often scolded and fined her, and that Obama has now been re-elected, you might think that she would be discouraged. But Orly never gives up! Each setback only makes her stronger.
In her latest adventure, we find our Orly suing Occidental College, which Obama first attended before transferring to Columbia University, to demand to see his college application documents. She, like Donald Trump, believes that in his college applications he said that he was born in Kenya. Although his family went to great pains at the time of his birth in 1961 to manufacture evidence that he was born in Hawaii and thus be eligible to run for president 47 years later, Obama himself was a dope who carelessly spilled the beans in his college applications.
Unfortunately for Taitz, the latest judge, like all the other judges before, threw out her case.
But Orly does not take defeat lightly. Nor does she hold back when it comes to rhetoric. She accused the university's lawyer of "Aiding and Abetting in the elections fraud in forgery and treason in allowing a foreign citizen to usurp the U.S. Presidency" and said of the judge "The judge did not give a damn about this country… Sadly he is not any different from all the other judges. I am yet to see one single judge who gives a damn about this nation. I feel like I am in Nazi Germany in the 1930s."
Oh Orly, Orly, don't ever change.

"Give me your love, on this Christmas Day.
Give me your thoughts when the chimes are ringing.
Send me the happier along the way,
Deep in my soul let your words be singing.
Give me your wishes, as bells sound clear,
Charming the air with their golden measure.
Give me your hopes for the unborn year,
Fill my heart with a secret treasure.
Give me the things that you long to say,
All of your tenderest dreams unfetter.
Give me your love, on this Christmas Day -
But, come across, please, when times get better."
- from Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker, edited by Stuart Y. Silverstein, New York, Scribner: 1996

Human Brain Through Multimodel Imaging
Spatial integration for identifying the source of electroencephalogram (EEG) data provides an important tool in neurology. The inverse solution provides a good method for determining the source of specific waveforms. Most methods for determining the dipole source rely on models that assume that the head and brain are perfect spheres. Although these methods provide tractable solutions computationally, they also present many inadequacies.
This research is a collaborative effort with the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center of McLean Hospital at Harvard Medical School. The specific aim of this project is to integrate precise neuroanatomincal data obtained from magnetic resonance imaging with functional information obtained from EEG. Studies to date have included the location of P300 waveforms and the source of sleep spindles and K complexes.
Dipole source estimation, providing a location, direction, and magnitude, is determined using the "inverse" solution method available with commercial software (Biologic). After EEG sensors are removed, fat soluable vitamin E capsules are affixed to the electrode site using collodion. These fiduciaries will be used to correlate the functional and structural data sets.
Figure 2: Example image showing P300 waveform dipole source
(right) Control. (left) After the induction of Ethanol.
Magnetic resonance data acquisition is performed on a GE Sigma 1.5 Tesla Whole Body Imager with head coil. Consecutive axial images were obtained with T1 and T2 weighting (using multiple-echo sequences on the latter) with the following settting: TR/TE/flip angle = 33ms/min=5ms/400; FOV = 22 cm, image resolution of 256X256 with an in-plane voxel dimension of 0.86 X 0.86 mm; slice thickness = 1.7 mm for a total of 124 slices; scan time = 9 min. Both MRI and EEG data sets are then transferred electronically to the Ohio Supercomputer Center via the Internet by using the file transfer protocol, ftp.
A common reference frame was developed using the voxel locations most representative of the nasion/inion and preauricular points, (FPZ,OZ, T3 and T4). An orthonormal reference frame based midway between the closest approach of FPZ/OZ and T3/T4 was constructed. The Y-axis (superior/inferior) of the reference frame is perpendicular to both FPZ/OZ and T3/T4, and the X and Z axes are approximately parallel to FPZ/OZ and T3/T4, respectively (see Figure 1). Finally, the required transformation was derived by taking the inverse of the transformation that converts the voxel reference frame to the dipole reference frame. All calculations and visualizations were performed on a Silicon Graphics INDIGO. The visualizations provide direct visualization of both the structural and functional information. In the P300 study, they suggest that the hippocampus is the most likely source of the P300 (see Figure 2). In the sleep study, they suggest that sleep spindles are generated from the thalmus, while K-complexes arise from much deeper nuclei, most likely the pons (see Figure 3).

Anthony Stokes allowed one run in six innings in a 6-2 victory over South Florida last week.
Bethune-Cookman's Anthony Stokes was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.
The junior left-hander improved to 2-1 on the season with a 6-2 victory over South Florida last week.
Stokes allowed one run (earned) on five hits in six innings with a strikeout and no walks. He actually raised his ERA to 1.04, which leads all starters in the MEAC.
Northwestern Ohio 7, ERAU 0: Northwestern Ohio (7-9) handed seventh-ranked Embry-Riddle (25-8) its first shutout of the season.
Ben Smith went 3 for 5 with two runs and an RBI and Cory Cook went 2 for 4 with two RBIs for the Racers.
No Eagle had more than one hit. Liam Goodall had a single and a stolen base.
The teams play at 6 tonight for the series finale.
B-CU wins title: Bethune-Cookman took home the team title by eight strokes Sunday at the rain-shortened Florida A&M Spring Invitational in Tallahassee.
The Wildcats beat runner-up Universite' Laval 290-298 in the abbreviated 18-hole event. Heavy rain Saturday shortened the 54-hole event.
This was B-CU's second tournament title of the season. The Wildcats won the Savannah State Tiger Fall Invitational in November.
Leon Fricker matched his low round of the season with a 69 to force a playoff with Savannah State's Travis Roe, who took the individual title on the first hole.
Other B-CU scores were Ryan Fricker (72), Alex Clapp (73), Emmanuel Petrich (76) and Matthew Knight (79).
The Wildcats are back in action Sunday at the Towson Invitational in Towson, Md.

1. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTdougb Oct 22, 2009 4:45 PM (in response to lordbah)
I would be concerned that its still RC1 and might be missing something. If you have the final bits available I would use those. I know the cable worked with XP, but if you have a spare trying it out would be interesting to. Maybe the cable is marginal and the inbox driver being a more simple driver than the one that ships from Intel just can't make it happen. If you can try those two things out that would be a great start.
2. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Oct 22, 2009 5:16 PM (in response to dougb)
I see that I left out any info about drivers. First thing I found on intel.com was PROWIN732.EXE. It said "No Intel adapters found", though Device Manager certainly knew it was an Intel adapter. I looked further and downloaded/unzipped AllNetworkAdapterDrivers_13_5, told Device Manager to update driver, pointed it at the PRO1000\WIN32 subfolder. That gave some advanced options in Device Manager but still would only connect at 10Mbps. Some further web reading made me think that maybe that PROWIN732 really was what I wanted, so I tried it again, and this time it worked. Device Manager now has several new tabs for this adapter, help text for settings, etc. Still only connects at 10Mbps though. The properties on PROWIN732.EXE say version 126.96.36.1994. Device Manager says driver version 184.108.40.206.
I'll see what I can do about getting a final version of Windows 7.
3. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Oct 26, 2009 10:53 PM (in response to lordbah)
I downloaded Release_14.7_Web_CD and ran the autorun to install it. But Device Manager still says the device driver is version 220.127.116.11 from 9/23/2008. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't it be version 14.7, dated 10/23/2009, according to the web site?
I have not yet installed the "real" Windows 7. Kinda hoping that in time there will be a path to it much lower cost than $120.
Found Intel Driver Update Utility. It thought I should have version 220.127.116.11 and after many OK clicks it ran PRO2K.EXE and then tried to run PRO2KXP.EXE but that failed. At the end of it all Device Manager still says I have 188.8.131.52 and my connection remains a paltry 10Mbps.
4. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTmark_h_@intel Oct 28, 2009 1:51 PM (in response to lordbah)
The driver that comes with Windows* 7 is the only driver for your adapter. Your adapter is on the list of adapters that only have "in box" support in Windows 7. That is why the CD and the other download did not update your driver version. That should not be a big deal since your issue is probably not related to the driver.
As to your speed problem, you might try updating your switch's firmware (if it has an update available.) You could also try forcing the same speed & duplex settings on both the switch and the adapter (if your switch can be configured.) If the diagnostics show a problem with the cable, I would borrow another cable and try it just to rule it out. Let us know whatever you find.

5. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Oct 31, 2009 8:34 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Unfortunately there is no updateable firmware for this switch. Not even any DIP switches. A different Cat6 cable and a different GS105 behave identically.
If the issue isn't related to the driver, what do you suppose it is? Is this particular adapter defective?
6. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTmark_h_@intel Nov 2, 2009 10:31 AM (in response to lordbah)
I doubt that the adapter is defective. As you pointed out in your original post, everything worked fine under Windows XP.
I just installed WIndows 7 (RTM, not RC1) on my desktop and connected my Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter to a Netgear Prosafe GS724AT switch. I get a 1.0 Gbps link. I am using all default settings on my adapter.
Do you have Link Speed & Duplex on the adapter set for Auto Negotiation? Usually, there is no change the speed & duplex options. Is there anything you changed on any of your network settings in Windows or in the adapter properties?
Maybe this problem will clear up after youu install the released version of Windows 7. That is what I would try at this point.
7. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Nov 2, 2009 3:51 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Same behavior with Link Speed set to Auto Negotiation, Advanced/Gigabit Master Slave Mode set to Auto Detect, Performance/Flow Control set to Rx/Tx Enabled.
If it helps, I have the same model adapter in a Linux box, and the driver "out of the box" connects to the switch at 10 Mbps. I have to recompile the e1000 driver with the CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=1. That's why on Windows 7 I have tried setting Gigabit Master Slave Mode to Force Master Mode, but it hasn't helped. On Linux I also add to the modprobe command "AutoNeg=0x28", which if I recall correctly tries to force a gigabit connection - tried to accomplish the same thing on Windows 7 by setting Link Speed to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex, but it still connects at 10 Mbps.
8. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTmark_h_@intel Nov 4, 2009 1:53 PM (in response to lordbah)
I think you are on to something here. If you had to compile your driver with CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=1 to get a 1 Gig negotiated link, then that tells me that the Ethernet controller in your switch is set to only work as a slave and some incompatibility between the switches Ethernet controller and the Intel Ethernet controller is not allowing a normal connection. In that case, I do not know any way to work around that for Windows 7.
Support for that setting requires Intel(R) PROSet and there is no Intel(R) PROSet for your adapter in Windows 7. In other words, you should not be seeing an option to configure the Gigabit Master Slave Mode in the Advanced Adapter Settings and configuring the Gigabit Master Slave Mode is probably having no effect.
Still, I wonder if we could get around this by adding a new string to the registry key for that adapter. I do not know if that would work, but you could always try.
Here are the steps to try. First a disclaimer.
CAUTION: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require that you reinstall your operating system.
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
- Run regedt32
- Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4DE36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. All the network adapters have numbered entries under that key.
- Search for your adapter name (use Control+F), Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter. You will find the name as the data for the DriverDesc string.
- Add a new string value to the numbered key. (Right click on the numbered folder and choose New String Value). NOTE: You do not need a new string value if you already have a string named MasterSlave. Instead, you can just change the data's value in step 6.
- Name the new string value MasterSlave
- Modify the new string value data. Set the value data to 1. (0 = Auto Detect; 1 = Force Master Mode; and 2 = Force Slave Mode)
- If forcing master mode, data set to 1 does not work; go ahead and try forcing slave mode, data set to 2.
Like I said. I do not know if this will allow you to connect at 1 Gbps or not, but maybe this will work. Please post your results back here.
9. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Nov 4, 2009 8:08 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Changed MasterSlave from 0 to 1, rebooted, 10 Mbps connection. Changed it to 2, rebooted, 10 Mbps connection. Set it back to 1 and took a shot in the dark - changed "*SpeedDuplex" to 6, trying to force a 1 Gbps connection - but no, still just 10 Mbps.
10. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTmark_h_@intel Nov 6, 2009 2:20 PM (in response to lordbah)
Considering what you had to do in Linux, this appears to be an incompatibility between your switch and that adapter. I cannot think of anything else for you to try other than a different Ethernet adapter or a different switch.
11. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Nov 6, 2009 6:56 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
... except that the same adapter/switch/cable do make a gigabit connection running Windows XP.
Thanks for your efforts.
12. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTlordbah Nov 16, 2009 10:07 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Is Build 7600 the RTM of Windows 7 Ultimate for x86? I can't see how to tell. Anyway still at 10 Mbps with it.
13. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTmark_h_@intel Nov 17, 2009 11:04 AM (in response to lordbah)
Thanks for updating the thread. No driver update is planned, but I will still escalate this issue to the appropriate sustaining team. I can't promise a new driver, but maybe we can come up with something that will help. I will post updates to this thread as I have them.
14. Re: Can't get 1000Mbps under Windows 7 RC1 with PRO/1000 GTMiDi Aug 23, 2010 2:25 AM (in response to lordbah)
Sorry to revive a dead thread. I am also having issues with the PRO/1000 GT card only doing 10 Mbps on Windows 7. My onboard runs just fine at 1 GB and Auto Negotiates almost instantly. While as when i plug the cord into my PRO/1000 GT 10 Mbps, and it takes about 30 seconds in order to negotiate. I've tried forcing it, and what not. Still nothing. I'm using a Netgear switch as well. (Netgear Prosafe gs105 to be exact) I cannot update the switch and would really hate it if i had to. (seeing as its an unmanaged switch, I can't touch it.)
Is there any enlightment on this issue yet? Also, they are still selling these cards, I don't understand why you are not providing drivers for them?
I should also add, It was working fine until I installed 7, and have been using onboard ever since, but it causes some latency issues, which is why i bought this card in the first place, and would love for it to work without a hitch again.

Laboratory experiments investigating the influence of fjord circulation on outlet glacier melting
Arctic Research Initiative
2009 Funded Project
Beginning in 1996, Greenland's outlet glaciers rapidly retreated and accelerated, increasing their discharge to the ocean and contributing more noticeably than in the past to sea-level rise. A similar trend has also been observed around the Antarctic ice sheets. The magnitude of the acceleration of these glaciers was unexpected to many glaciologists, whose numerical models of large ice sheets have variations in ice mass on millennial–timescales. Clearly, this highlights our lack of thorough understanding of the dynamics regulating the motion of glaciers. In particular, the boundary conditions regulating the interaction of glaciers with surrounding sediments, rock and water are poorly understood. As highlighted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007, today the largest uncertainty in predicting sea-level rise comes from the lack of a correct representation in climate models of the rapid changes observed in outlet glaciers.
Recently, a new mechanism has been identified as a possible candidate to explain the recent acceleration in glacial discharge into the ocean. Greenland's largest outlet glaciers terminate at tidewater in deep fjords and additional heat delivered by subsurface waters may be melting the submarine bases of these glaciers. The recent warming of the ocean around southeast and western Greenland and the recently observed warm waters in Greenland's fjords are the supporting evidence for this mechanism. This scenario highlights the possibility for the ocean to play a significant role in the recent increase of glacial discharge. Hence the need to better understand the interaction between the ocean and the ice. Several questions then arise: What is the influence of the fjord circulation on the ice-ocean interface melting rates? Can one circulation be more efficient than another in delivering the heat from the open ocean to the base of the outlet glaciers?
In order to answer these questions I propose to use a set of idealized laboratory experiments to investigate the efficiency of various fjord circulations in transporting heat to the outlet glaciers. Furthermore, I will investigate the influence of upstream surface meltwater coming out at the base of the glacier on the melting of the ice-ocean interface and the fjord circulation. The product of this study will be an improved understanding of the influence of: a) the fjord circulation on glacier's melting rates; and b) the upstream basal meltwater flow and distribution in the fjord.
If funded, this study will give me the unique opportunity to expand my research to a new and exciting field that is growing fast and addressing questions of great societal impact. The amount of glacial discharge has a direct impact on sea-level rise and the change in the amount of fresh water in the open ocean can cause drastic changes to the ocean circulation with consequent climate changes. This study will foster interdisciplinary collaboration since it is complementary to the recent work that Drs. Straneo (PO) and Das (G&G) are conducting in Greenland glaciers.
This collaboration will initiate an interdisciplinary group on "ocean-ice sheet interaction" expertise here at WHOI that will surely benefit the scientific community and WHOI in the foreseeable future. Finally, this study will allow me to become experienced enough to submit a larger study to NSF.

Later this month, the town of Hillsville will say goodbye to the second police chief in the past two years who was not in the mood to deal with extra drama associated with an already difficult position.
And we can't say we blame him or his predecessor one bit for getting out of that situation on their own terms.
Chief Greg Bolen turned in his resignation to the town on June 30, after hearing repeatedly that his job may or may not be threatened after the new town council took office July 1.
The Southwest Virginia Farmers Market has been a main focus of Carroll County for years.
This has obviously paid off, judging from the reaction it got from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials when they visited the Twin Counties earlier this month.
Nothing but good things were heard about the market on June 17, when the group took a tour of the main market and the cannery.
Recently, Fries Town Council was encouraged to revisit a master plan that it had previously developed for the town's revitalization… and we couldn't agree more.
In recent years, small towns have seen their share of economic downfall, and Fries is no exception. A place of history and an ideal spot for outdoor recreation, the area has a lot of promise. But over the years, the area's redevelopment seems to have, quite frankly, ground to a halt.
Deciding whether to rezone a piece of residential property for a new school in Galax was difficult already, and it is being further complicated by a question about perceived conflicts of interest.
Four of the seven members of the Galax Planning Commission have ties to the city's school system: one is a school board member, one is an administrator, one is a teacher and one is married to a teacher. The commission is considering the school board's request to rezone land for a new elementary/middle school.

Good story, like it being on the sci-fi, technology wise... Overal good family movie....
I don't know who these crazy people are that rated this movie and said it was no good it's one of the best I've ever seen. The acting was superb. The effects were superb. I would give it 100stars if I could And I would also say I need to get some new critics.
Fake looking buildings.
B film.
B actors.
Gerard is still an an A actor though. WHY I STRUGGLED to watch it to the end.
It was okay. The action took very long time to come. This one almost look like a continuation to London Has Fallen. The cast was okay.
Good movie. Unrealistic, but that's Hollywood.
totally rubbish,unworthy of the cellulose it`s developed on
Preachy, boring, and been done to death. Left early snuck into another show.
At first I was hesitant to see this movie based on all of the negative reviews but after reading the many positive reviews, I decided to give it a chance (on a Tuesday) and was quite happy I did. Yes, it has its flaws but most films do. I really enjoyed it.
Action packed Hollywood...it worked...
Wow...this movie really sucks. This thing stalls along like a Volkswagen diesel ...I couldn't finish it and got my money back. We hacked this thing to death. The best part of this movie is.....going to Tim Hortons after and talking about how bad it really was.

I don't understand the giddiness of people wanting Armageddon to arrive. I think almost everyone can agree that the suffering and murder of innocent people is something we want to avoid. But for Armageddon and the events afterward they will produce nothing but unimaginable suffering and bloodshed of millions. Men, women, and children's dead bodies will be piled up and rot in the sun as cemeteries won't be able to bury them fast enough. Survivors won't be able to mourn their dead friends and family since their bodies will be wrecked with pain that the unsealed scrolls will unleash upon everyone. And all of that just so a god can come back to Earth. If so he can keep as far away as possible, I love my friends and family too much.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
What is it with theists and "the end times" that gives them a raging hard-on?

Google Tries On IaaS for Size
Jun 29, 2012 11:38 AM PT
Google announced this week the launch of the Google Compute Engine, an Infrastructure as a Service product that lets users run Linux Virtual Machines (VMs) on Google's servers.
It promises to provide resources to businesses and other organizations that need intensive, short-term computing power to solve high-level problems, including those working in genome mapping, pharmaceutical research and engineering modeling.
"It's much more comprehensive than I expected," David Linthicum, CTO and founder of Blue Mountain Labs, told the E-Commerce Times. He noted that in addition to computing power it includes storage, networking and tooling, as well as the ability to launch Linux VMs on demand with one, two, four and eight virtual core VMs, using 3.75 GB of RAM per core.
"That's pretty powerful out of the gate," said Linthicum.
For businesses that have short-term intensive computing needs, Google Compute Engine might be useful.
"GCE is likely to be attractive to organizations needing short-term application of mass-scale compute-intensive workloads," Ben Kepes, an analyst at Diversity Analysis, told the E-Commerce Times.
"Google even spoke to this in their launch when they gave the case study of a genome- mapping application," he noted. "I doubt it will gain many customers from the other IaaS vendors -- other than those organizations whose workloads meet the scope of Google's current focus."
GCE vs. Competitors
Google will face stiff competition in this arena, particularly from Amazon Web Services and Rackspace, and it remains to be seen how well Google Compute Engine will hold its own.
"With its move into the application ecosystem arena, AWS is more and more becoming a threat to Google," said Kepes. "Google has also not enjoyed great adoption of its Platform as a Service products."
Google move into the IaaS fray has been anticipated.
"It's not surprising to see Google dipping its toe in the water," said Michael Sutton, VP of security research with Zscaler. "This has been expected for a while that it would compete with the likes of AWS and Rackspace."
Google's sheer immensity, however, just about ensures that the Google Compute Engine will be a powerful presence, despite the daunting competition.
"I think that it will be a force in the IaaS space, considering who Google is," noted Linthicum. "They have the resources and the understanding to drive an IaaS solution into an already-emerging market. The initial offering seems strong. However, it's certainly not as mature and feature-rich as AWS, and many of the features seem to be copies of AWS capabilities. Right now AWS dominates that IaaS market, and Google will have to run faster just to catch that market."
Evolution of a Cloud
If Google Compute Engine is to succeed, it will have to evolve and improve, matching the market's needs.
"Google is very late to the IaaS party," said Linthicum. "The market does not seem to like those that attempt to jump in front of the parade."
One of the concerns that will need to be addressed is security.
"It provides some rudimentary security mechanisms, much like the other IaaS players such as AWS and Rackspace," Linthicum acknowledged. "They will need to partner with some more sophisticated security companies to provide the enterprise-class security, such as identity-based security, that most of the Global 2000 will require -- as well as governments. Typically, security is enhanced later after the platform has gotten some traction. That seems to be the case here."
Still, Google is viewed as having a pretty good handle on security in general, and that will likely be the case with GCE security as well.
"Since it's as new as it is, no one has had a chance to kick the tires, so it's hard to have any comment [about security]," noted Sutton. "They will face the same challenges as any other IaaS provider. The one thing that is Google-specific is a positive. Google has a fairly strong track record in terms of security. They have a history of being quick to respond and address security concerns when they emerge."
It will also need to tailor its offerings to the demands of the marketplace for increasing amounts of computing power.
"I think that Google will focus more on the larger enterprises and the government than the SMB space and will tailor [its] features accordingly," said Linthicum. "Count on more compute power, additional operating system support, and enhanced management capabilities to be on the short list. Figure you'll see deeper integration with Google Apps and Google App Engine as well."
The way the Google Compute Engine continues to develop will no doubt will be key to its long-term success.
"GCE needs to evolve rapidly," said Kepes. "Google starts from behind the eight ball in terms of IaaS, and it needs to rapidly build a compelling offering and prove to users that it's in the space for the long haul. Potentially GCE is a step change for Google and the wider industries. Google just needs to do things right."

A Guy Named Carlos, A Lot of Crab, & A Cheesy Time
Musician great Carlos Santana opened a fifth locale of his Maria Maria restaurant late last year in Danville.
Serving "Nuevo Mexican" cuisine, it features dishes such as chicken and mole tortilla casserole ($15), grilled skirt steak with nopales salad $(19), and mixed wild mushroom fajitas ($15).
No telling how often you might spot Santana, himself, there. But he did put in an appearance earlier this week to meet and greet media.
Cheese aficionados will want to head to the Pasta Shop in the 4th Street Market Place in Berkeley, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m, Jan. 15.
Allison Hooper, author of "In a Cheesemaker's Kitchen," will be on hand to sign copies of her book, discuss the world of cheese, and offer tastes of her luscious creations.
Hooper, of Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery, will be joined by other artisan cheesemakers at this free event, including those from Bellwether Farms and Cowgirl Creamery, who also will be offering samples of their cheeses.
To coincide with this event, Cafe Rouge, next door to the Pasta Shop, will be offering special menu items made with Vermont Creamery cheeses.
The 11th annual "Crab & Wine Days" gets underway with a load of vino and crustaceans, Jan. 22-31, when the bucolic coastal county of Mendocino hosts a bevy of gourmet dinners, family-style cioppino feeds, and a crab cake cook-off.
Don't miss the Jan. 22 "Cioppino Dinner" for $35 per person at the Pentecost Hall in Fort Bragg. The family-style meal includes bowls of the hearty seafood stew, salad, dessert, wine, beer, coffee and homemade bread.
Also not to be skipped is the "Crab-Cake Cook-Off and Wine Tasting Competition," where the public will get a chance to sample the entries being judged. Tickets are $75 per person.
Proceeds from those two events benefit the Mendocino Coast Clinics, a non-profit community health center for those in need.
