Miami Heat are more than just one superstar away
Apr 21, 2010, 8:57 AM EDT
Dwyane Wade has said he knows what this team needs: another superstar to come there to play, and he is going to help recruit that player this summer. It's going to take more than that to make this team good, something exposed by Tuesday night's blowout loss to a Kevin Garnettless Celtics squad. Wade had…
NBA Playoffs: Atlanta bigs feast on Bogutless, answerless Bucks
Apr 21, 2010, 12:41 AM EDT
Without Andrew Bogut, the Hawks front line was supposed to dominate the series, but that was not really the story in game one. It was in game two. The Bucks had no answer for the combination of Al Horford and Josh Smith — together the pair scored 41 points on 70.8 percent shooting and pulled…
NBA Playoffs: Defending Brandon Jennings (it's not as hard as you think)
Apr 20, 2010, 4:56 PM EDT
Saturday was the playoff debut of the Brandon Jennings show. Sure, the Hawks won game one against the Bucks, pretty handily actually. But what you were talking about later, the only thing that kept Milwaukee even in it (and led them on a run to make it a little interesting) was Jennings. He had 34…
Marcus Camby signs deal with Portland. What now, Knicks?
Apr 20, 2010, 3:20 PM EDT
UPDATE 3:20 PM: It's official, Camby will remain a Blazer. Jason Quick has confirmed it both with Camby's agent and GM Kevin Pritchard. That little squeal of joy you just heard came from Henry Abbott. 1:27 pm: Apparently Marcus Camby likes the eco-friendly life in Portland. That or he likes playing on an up-and-coming team…
David Lee: The Knicks have taken years off my life
Apr 20, 2010, 2:58 PM EDT
David Lee has nothing to lose. Sure, he'd like to stay in New York, but after the season he just had there is going to be demand for his services. He's going to have options. And because he has nothing to lose, he was pretty honest about the summer the Knicks face in an interview…

And here are your top 5 vote getters: Dwight Howard Orlando 110 first, total 576 Josh Smith Atlanta 3 first, total 136 Gerald Wallace Charlotte 1 first, total 113 LeBron James Cleveland 4 first, total 61 Rajon Rondo Boston 1 first, total 55 12:39 pm: The only interesting part of…
Hornets to look for new coach, Jeff Bower to return to GM role
Apr 20, 2010, 2:18 PM EDT
Jeff Bower has had his taste of poetic justice, and now is returning to his traditional role. The Hornets General Manager will give up his coaching duties and return to the front office as GM, according to ESPN's Marc Stein. He will lead the search for the next Hornets coach (which we assume must be…
NBA Playoffs: Big Baby to start, no need for 'Sheed
Apr 20, 2010, 2:01 PM EDT
With Kevin Garnett taking a league-requested night off, the question became who starts at the four tonight for Boston: Big Baby or Sheed. Glen Davis, according to Kendrick Perkins and the Boston Herald. Rasheed Wallace will keep coming off the bench, which yesterday he said would be good with him. The question becomes what happens…
We get it: Joakim Noah doesn't like Cleveland
Apr 20, 2010, 12:39 PM EDT
The best part of the interview is when Noah rips Cleveland again, you can hear the Chicago-based writers start to laugh, but then realize the locals don't find it so funny. For the record, it is funny. Sorry Cleveland.
All NBA worst defensive team
Apr 20, 2010, 11:20 AM EDT
The story of these playoffs has been defense — Dwight Howard with nine blocks, Ron Artest on Kevin Durant, the Hawks shutting down what is left of the Bucks. Teams get to the playoffs because of their defense. But who are the worst defenders in the NBA? Who costs their teams games due a vexing…
NBA Playoffs: Charlotte will keep attacking the rim, Dwight Howard will keep blocking them
Apr 20, 2010, 9:57 AM EDT
Dwight Howard was swatting shots in game one like King Kong on top of the Empire State building swatting planes. In game one he had nine blocks, eight of those in the first half. He owned the paint. But Charlotte's Gerald Wallace said that didn't intimidate them — the Bobcats are still going to attack…
Quote of the day, where a new food craze comes to Milwaukee
Apr 20, 2010, 9:26 AM EDT
"Viper. I like Boa constrictor, too. But viper is the best meat I've ever had. It tastes like fish and chicken combined. It's very good." –Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, the Cameroonian Prince who offered up something different when asked what his favorite meat was. (Via Gery Woelfel of the Milwaukee Journal Times.
John Salmons may test the open waters of free agency
Apr 20, 2010, 9:19 AM EDT
Yesterday we talked about the Milwaukee Bucks wanting to lock up John Salmons and trying to negotiate an extension for him. Of course they want to extend him, the Bucks have been a much-improved team since Salmons filled the shoes of the injured Michael Redd. They have been better than when Redd was playing, their…
NBA Playoffs: LeBron James flat out abuses James Johnson
Apr 20, 2010, 8:49 AM EDT
After the game, LeBron James said this was one of this best dunks ever. That puts it high on an very impressive list. Watch this — notice how badly James Johnson gets beat off the dribble by LeBron, To Johnson's credit, he didn't quit on the play, but that really just led to more embarrassment.
NBA Playoffs: The Chicago Bulls played their best, and it was still not enough
Apr 20, 2010, 8:43 AM EDT
A harsh reality landed upon the Chicago Bulls Monday night — The Bulls played their best; their best was not good enough. They made the right decisions, they scrapped and fought inside, they played with passion. And they lost. The final score was 112-102, and that 10-point margin is how much the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled…

Bill Walton admitted in an interview with the San Diego Tribune that his back pain actually got so bad…
Duke's Kyle Singler to stay in school for senior year

NBA Playoffs: Ron Artest was too strong, too smart for Durant, Thunder
Apr 19, 2010, 5:48 PM EDT
In a year, maybe two, teams are not going to be able to do this to Oklahoma City and Kevin Durant. Then he will be stronger; the team will be more experienced. But right now they can, and Ron Artest and the Lakers did. Los Angeles simply out-muscled, out-hustled and out-thought the best player Oklahoma…
Toronto Raptors off-season plans: Keep Chris Bosh
Apr 19, 2010, 3:39 PM EDT
Before the season started, the talk in Toronto was a team that could reach 50 wins. Forget just making the playoffs, it was about hosting a round, advancing to the second round. It was about starting to look and act like a threat in the East. Frustrated, disappointed and heartbreaking was the talk at Bryan…
Marcus Camby in talks to stay in Portland
Apr 19, 2010, 3:06 PM EDT
If you watched last night when the Trail Blazers upset the Suns, then you know how important Marcus Camby is to Portland. He limited what Amare Stoudemire could do (he still got 18 and 8, because nobody shuts him down, but he wasn't efficient at it). STAT's game is about being aggressive and drawing fouls…
Michael Jordan was the master of intimidation
Apr 19, 2010, 1:49 PM EDT
You'd like to think that by the time a guy became a professional basketball player, by the time he'd reached the pinnacle of the NBA, nothing with the game would really intimidate him. You'd like to think that, but you'd be wrong. There is always an alpha dog. Always an intimidator. Kevin Garnett still tries…
Mark Jackson still hoping for a coaching gig
Apr 19, 2010, 1:32 PM EDT
It can happen. It really can. You can jump from the broadcast booth into the head coach's chair and make it work. Pat Riley did it when Jerry Buss tapped him in Los Angeles. Doc Rivers did it, although he looked pretty bad as a coach for a while, until Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen…
NBA Playoffs: Stephen Jackson says he will play for Charlotte Wednesday
Apr 19, 2010, 12:56 PM EDT
UPDATE 12:55 PM: The Bobcats have announced that the MRI revealed no structural damage to Jackson's knee. Just a bone bruise. He is now listed as day-to-day. So Jackson was right, he probably is going to go Wednesday. 8: 56 am: Charlotte does not have a lot of great offensive options, which proved to be…
Trail Blazers make one NBA arena green
Apr 19, 2010, 12:30 PM EDT
If you're going to make the NBA more environmentally friendly, you start with the games. Not so much on the court, but the festival and arenas around them. Those arenas are filled with discarded plastic beer cups, foil hot dog wrappers, mountains of trash. Massive amounts of energy are used to light and air condition…
NBA gate revenue down only slightly
Apr 19, 2010, 11:57 AM EDT
This news should be almost expected, coming on the heels of David Stern saying that next year's salary cap would be higher than expected — you all kept going to games. According to the Sports Business Journal, attendance at games this year was off only slightly. The NBA closes its 2009-10 regular season with more…

Cloud Computing on Ulitzer
Setting aside the shameless cloud-washing that's going on from some vendors, there are a lot of cloud service providers (CSPs – providers of cloud) today. Many of those listed in SYS-CON's Top 150 report are CSPs, while others are providing extensions, tools or services for clouds. Everybody's a cloud provider these days – and as Larry Ellison recently said "All boats are cloud boats."
Every telco, every hoster, every data center outsourcer, most systems providers and many, many startups are becoming CSPs. After all, there have been thousands of hosting providers over the past several years competing for your business. A few were huge, several were large, and most were small but often profitable. I'm convinced this time it might be different — the cloud provider market will be increasingly consolidated with fewer opportunities for new entrants or profit from the tier 2 or 3 CSPs. The APIs, data center economics and proprietary platforms will make cloud a much more consolidated market.
The chart below depicts the scenario that I see taking place over the next few years, where the number of new entrants and the hyper-efficiencies gained by the biggest (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) result in razor thin margins that can't be met by most of the players going forward. The pricing curve will drive adoption, solidifying the economies of scale by these mega CSPs.
One of the ways that the biggest guys will get scale is through completely proprietary cloud stacks that have a marginal cost of $0 to deploy new customers. Contrast that with the vendor stacks from VMware, 3tera, Enomaly, and VMOps. If you have to pay money to others based on the number of servers you have, the number of VMs or other components, it puts you at a disadvantage. You can still win, but your profits will be lower and it will be harder to find the capital to invest to stay competitive.
There are the open source alternatives such as Nebula and OpenNebula, and the VMware-free version of Eucalyptus. Some will go this route, innovate around the core, and survive. Others will rely on the vendors or community to keep them competitive and some may not be happy with the results.
This goes back to the excellent recent post by James Urquhart on differentiation. There are many ways that CSPs can differentiate their offerings, but price is probably not one of them (unless you're in the mega category). That said, your premium needs to be reasonable – selling cloud VMs at 5x the price of Amazon is not sustainable in the long run. Relationships, custom services, security, applications, and other content that's harder to commoditize needs to be part of your strategy.
I predict that there will be many new CSPs over the next 18 months, but even before the new entrants stop coming many companies will exit the cloud business. Some exits will be via consolidation/merger, but many will just pull out of unprofitable businesses in the face of blistering competition. My take is that the great shakeout will be in full force in the 2012 time frame, with a bottom reached over the following 5-10 years.
So, will you be a survivor, or will you be cloudkill?

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

Jacket: Forever 21 | Striped top: Forever 21 | Scarf: Forever 21 | Jogger pants: Old Navy | Flats: Target | iPhone Case: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Why, yes, I have indeed worn these pants multiple times in the past few weeks. But when pants are so comfy and so chic at the same time, you really can't resist the temptation to wear them as often as possible. I wore these pants earlier this week in a 9-5-appropriate way, so I wanted to wear them in a way that's ideal for a casual weekend. With stripes, quilted leather, buffalo plaid and a good book, I am more than ready to take on the weekend!
Top: Forever 21 | Shorts: Old Navy | Wedges: Relativity (old) | Necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Bag: Vintage Coach | Rings: Forever 21
After a very fun week in Ohio and a fun but packed weekend in Chicago, I'm back at it in Omaha. My college friend Keri is getting hitched in July, and we celebrated the bachelorette party a bit early and had a personal cooking lesson with a professional chef. So. Good. I'm a Top Chef, MasterChef, Hell's Kitchen, all around Food Network freak, and now I want a chef to teach me to stop by my apartment every week to teach me a new dish. Liz and I got back in around 1:00 on Monday morning, and sleep was the very first thing on my mind. Thanks for sticking with me through my unplanned break!
Most people shy away from black in the summer, but I find I reach for it year-round. The trick is making it season-appropriate, and these shorts from Old Navy do the trick (last seen here). I wore them multiple times during my trip, and they're just as versatile with a silky tank as they are with a printed sweatshirt.
Chambray blouse: Banana Republic | Skirt: Kohls | Wedges: Banana Republic | Bag: Brahmin (c/o Vogue) | Necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Lips: MAC's Be Nice
Happy Tuesday! How was your long weekend? Besides relaxing, doing some apartment cleaning, grilling and shopping, Liz, Jeni and I saw Wicked on Sunday! I'd never seen the musical before, and after seeing in the winter of 2013 that Wicked was coming to Omaha in May of 2014, I'd begun counting down the months and eventually days until the show. Needless to say, it was fantastic, and if you've never seen it, you must!
I've made it my mission to wear more of my skirts and dresses this summer. The thought of pairing them with tights this past fall/winter season wasn't exactly appealing, but now that warm weather is here to stay, I'm pulling out all the stops and making sure my more feminine pieces get put on heavy rotation.
Dress: Forever 21 (last year) | Jacket: Gap | Hat: Marshalls | Sandals: TJ Maxx | Bag: Michael Michael Kors | Necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Now that warm weather is here to stay (or so it seems), my dresses are going to be making frequent appearances. For some reason this winter, I was not in the mood for anything involving tights, so that meant jeans it was for most of the cold weather.
I just love this simple outfit: a flowy dress, a denim jacket, my favorite Panama hat and a pop of orange. Happy Thursday, and thanks for stopping by!
Jacket: MNG by Mango (similar) | Sweater: Gap (similar and on sale!) | Denim: Elle (similar) | Flats: Vince Camuto via TJ Maxx (super similar) | Bag: Brahmin (c/o Vogue) | Necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar)
As I've mentioned before once warmer weather hit us here in Omaha, I find spring to be the hardest transition as far as outfits go. You never know if it's going to be chilly outside but too warm inside, etc. I've found that during these transitional months, it's best to work with light layers and make small updates to keep your outfit spring-friendly.
For instance, boyfriend jeans are perfect for this time of year. Had I worn a similar outfit in the dead of winter, I would have paired this jacket with a cashmere sweater, skinny jeans, and knee-high boots. But with a few small updates, like flats instead of boots and cotton instead of cashmere, my outfit becomes oh-so-springlike and works indoors and out.
Happy, happy weekend! What are your plans? The weather is supposed to cool down for us, unfortunately, so I'm hoping for a movie marathon and possibly a game night.

T-Mobile HTC One Release Date Announced, Sells April 24th for $99
T-Mobile just revealed that they'll start selling the HTC One on April 24th. We already knew that T-Mobile had plans to sell the handset, and aside from the iPhone 5 and the Samsung S4, it most certainly is one of the carrier flagship phones.
Interested parties can grab the HTC One for $99, though you'll be expected to pay off the difference, as in the full retail price, by making $20 a month payments for the next two years. But with that you won't be attached a traditional cellular contract.
Of note, the HTC One goes on sale on Sprint and AT&T on April 19th.

California data breach report underscores need for encryption in healthcare
Seventy percent of breaches involving the California healthcare industry were due to unencrypted data on lost or stolen hardware or portable media, a problem that strong encryption would fix, according to the latest data breach report from the state's attorney general.
CIOs should be more than just 'the head geek'
Success as a healthcare CIO boils down to having the right people on your team, Randy Davis, chief information officer and vice president of support services at CGH Medical Center in Sterling, Illinois, said in an interview at Becker's Health IT and CIO Review.
Peer-to-peer HIE successful for Southeastern Minnesota Beacon Community
The Southeastern Minnesota Beacon Community demonstrated that it's possible to bring together hospitals, physicians, public health workers and school nurses for data sharing and targeted population health initiatives, according to a paper at eGEMS (Generating Evidence & Methods to improve patient outcomes).
Beacon Community programs face barriers to success, report says
An evaluation of four Beacon Community projects found some common issues and barriers, according to a paper at eGEMs (Generating Evidence & Methods to improve patient outcomes. The paper looked at commonalities among the projects, including structure, people, technology, tasks, and sustainability.
Predictive analytics in healthcare pose unique challenges
Looking to take a page from Amazon, Netflix and Google, investors have poured $1.9 billion into companies pursing predictive analytics in healthcare, though predicting the best course of treatment is significantly different than recommending a book or movie, according to a new Rock Health report.
HIE, user input help improve public health reporting
A project to rethink the paper-based process in which clinical providers do reporting for public health surveillance helped ensure that IT development was driven by users' workflow needs.
VA's CIO: Bolstering faith in online security vital
Stephen Warren, chief information officer of the Department of Veterans Affairs, says one of his biggest worries is that the proliferation of breaches will undermine the public's trust in e-commerce.
Outlining the core components of a learning health system
Despite widespread support for a learning health system (LHS)--one in which the care of each patient leads to improvement for everyone--creating such a system on the national level remains a challenge. At a National Science Foundation workshop, participants tried to pin down exactly what creating such a system entails.
Courts toss two California hospital breach lawsuits
Though data breaches tend to be costly for healthcare providers--the cost of the Community Health Systems breach, for instance, has been estimated to be as much as $150 million--patients who sue don't necessarily win, as two California Hospital cases bear out.
4 goals of the federal Health IT Safety Center
Goals for the new federal health Information technology safety center, an idea initially proposed by the Institute of Medicine in a report published in November 2011, are outlined in a new article published this week the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.

DMX Gets Kicked In The Back In X.Org Server 1.16
Published on 13 January 2014 08:13 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
Distributed Multihead X will no longer be built by default on future versions of the X.Org Server.
Distributed Multihead X is a mainline X.Org Server feature to act as a proxy X11 server to multiple X server back-ends. When going in-step with Xinerama, the multiple X Server back-ends can then be merged into one large virtual screen. While DMX/Xdmx may be interesting on a technical level, it's not used often these days by Linux users and GLX proxy isn't too sufficient for running OpenGL applications in this manner. Other details on DMX can be found from the
defunct project site
While Distributed Multihead X has been a mainline X.Org Server feature, it's being disabled by default for the
X.Org Server 1.16
release. With
the 1.16 merge window open
, Keith Packard made the change of keeping the support present in the code-base but disabling it from being built by default.
Keith wrote in
his commit
, "It's clearly un-loved, having piles and piles of warnings. If someone wants to fix it up to compile without warnings, we can re-enable it." Keith Packard was recently on an expedition for
eliminating X.Org's compiler warnings

I feel really confident now to think 'how to farm,' to think 'whole systems,' and to think like 'food systems,' and even more than that, how to approach life in general. My perspective has been very enriched and totally changed.Ian, UFS Graduate 2013
I've loved how we've functioned as a group, it's been really inspirational. We've been aware of, and adapted to each others needs. I think that's an important skill for farming, too, figuring out the direction, and then adapting because it's never going to be what we think.Matt, UFS Graduate 2013

Despite the team's recent struggles on the ice, the Columbus Blue Jackets deny the mood in the dressing room is growing sour. Sources tell Sportsnet veteran defenceman Luke Richardson gave up his captaincy Saturday after being a healthy scratch in the team's 5-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche Friday night. However, Columbus president and general manager, Doug Maclean refutes any claim this is a result of a tattered dressing room.read on

A gas stove is a cooking device which uses natural gas, propane, butane, Liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas as a fuel source. Since the gas pipe network was slow to develop, the success of the gas stove on a commercial level took some time to happen. Gas stoves were invented as early as the 1820's as isolated experiments but it was not until the 1880's that manufactured stoves...

2013 Final Four Primer
Mar 31, 2013, 11:28 PM EDT
The last two participants in the Final Four punched their tickets on Saturday night, as Louisville knocked off Duke and Michigan ran over Florida, completing one of the most anticlimactic Elite 8s in the history of the Elite 8.
And that means it's now official: No. 1 Louisville will be taking on No. 9 Wichita State on Saturday night at 6:09 p.m. ET in the Georgia Dome, with No. 4 Michigan taking on No. 4 Syracuse 40 minutes after the first game ends.
We're going to have oh-so-much content rolling out over the next couple of days, but in order to get you prepped for the most anticipated three games of the college basketball season, here are seven thoughts to get the juices flowing:
1) Louisville has to be considered the favorite to win it all: Let's start with the obvious: they were the favorite entering the tournament, and there is no one else left in the tournament seeded higher than fourth in their region. It's simple math, really. Louisville was the best team in the country three weeks ago, and nothing about the way that they have played since Selection Sunday has done anything to convince us otherwise. Russ Smith has played like an all-american, Peyton Siva is showing everyone the value of having a veteran point guard as absurdly talented as he is, and Rick Pitino's put them into a system where they can thrive.
2) But don't be silly and count out Wichita State just yet: The Shockers beat Gonzaga, putting together one of the most impressive finishing kicks we've seen this season. They knocked off Ohio State, leading by as much as 20. Pitt and La Salle? They didn't stand a chance. In fact, the Shockers have led by as much as 13 points in every game this tournament. They're pretty good.
3) Michigan matches up pretty well with Syracuse: You need shooters to beat the Syracuse zone, and Michigan has that. You need length on the perimeter to be able to make that pass into the high post, and Michigan has that. You need someone to put at the high post that can be a threat to score, and Michigan has that. They also have Trey Burke, the best player in the country this season. Here's the biggest question: who is Trey Burke going to guard? Can he stop Michael Carter-Williams or Brandon Triche if they want to get to the rim against him?
4) But that Syracuse zone is deadly: They've allowed just 0.72 PPP in four tournament games. By comparison, Stephen F. Austin led the country by allowing 0.843 PPP this season. Good luck, Michigan.
5) Don't let me catch you calling the Big Ten overrated: It's silly to base the success of a team or a conference on how well they perform in the NCAA tournament. Always has been and always will be. The NCAA tournament is all about matchups. That's what happens when you're dealing with a one-and-done knockout event. That's what a team like Wichita State — or Butler or VCU or George Mason — is able to make a run to the Final Four. Do you think that the Shockers would beat Gonzaga in a five-game series? Do you really think that Florida Gulf Coast is one of the 16 best teams in the country?
To pull off an upset in the tournament, you need the right matchup, the right game-plan, flawless execution and a night where the opponent doesn't play all that well. That Indiana and Syracuse, for example. The Orange had the length to bother Indiana's guard, Cody Zeller picked the wrong night to struggle and Jordan Hulls was playing with a separated shoulder. Does that mean Syracuse is a better team? Or had a better season?
No. It means they had a better night.
And it certainly doesn't mean that the Big East was a better conference that the Big Ten.
Because after all, the fifth-place Big Ten team is in the Final Four. Think about that.
6) Success in February isn't a prerequisite to success in March: Wichita State started the season 15-1. They went 5-5 in their last 10 regular season games and lost to Creighton in the MVC title game. Syracuse was 18-1 before finishing the regular season 5-7. Michigan was 20-1 and was ranked No. 1 in the country at one point before going 5-5 in their last 10 and losing in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. All three of those teams managed to turn it around and make the Final Four. So much for momentum.
7) Another reason the demise of the Big East is sad?: This is the fourth straight year that the Big East tournament champion has made the Final Four. Louisville did it last year, UConn won the title in 2011 and West Virginia upset Kentucky to make the Final Four in 2010. In 2007, Georgetown made the Final Four as well.

Microsoft and Samsung uncloak slimmer Surface
Nope, I use a 40" samsung TV as my primary monitor, it's sat on my desk right in front of me and looks lovely. I can barely make out the pixels.
I have a 24" monitor too, which is quietly gathering dust in the box room... I really don't have space for a dual monitor set up, but if I did I'd probably drag in my old 32" TV instead. I used that for years and although it's only 720p what forced the upgrade wasn't the visibility of the pixels, just that the low resolution was annoying.
