The world's largest and most successful private cloud operations are revolutionizing their approach to demand management.
These organizations have recognized that while self-service portals are a component in the overall cloud architecture, these tools do not enable demand management. In fact, in many cases the portals and end-user interfaces don't actually capture anything to do with demand, but instead force the user to enter the capacity "supply" requirements that they think will meet their demands.
This is very different. Large enterprises have recognized the need to look beyond immediate requests to also model the "pipeline" of new demands that will be coming down the road. It is only by capturing new immediate requirements, an understanding of the pipeline and what is running in environments that organizations can possibly hope to accurately model demand and properly allocate compute, storage and network resources.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Andrew Hillier, Co-Founder & CTO of CiRBA, discussed these topics and cover important factors such as:
- Why self-service is not the same as demand management
- How to properly model inbound workload requirements
- Understanding spare capacity and hosting environment capabilities across compute, storage and network
- Why the fulfillment of cloud requests must factor in these capabilities and requirements
- How to provide LOB visibility and enable capacity reclamation

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data? In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, will look at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to...

The enterprise is being consumerized, and the consumer is being enterprised. Moore's Law does not matter anymore, the future belongs to business virtualization powered by invisible service architecture, powered by hyperscale and hyperconvergence, and facilitated by vertical streaming and horizontal scaling and consolidation. Both buyers and sellers want instant results, and from paperwork to paperless to mindless is the ultimate goal for any seamless transaction. The sweetest sweet spot in innovation is automation. The most painful pain point for any business is the mismatch between supplies a...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

(Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman told ESPN 1000 Thursday that point guard Derrick Rose is "right on schedule" in his progression rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered in last season's NBA playoffs."He's doing great, and he's right on schedule," Forman said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "He's attacked this rehab and has been very focused, and we're really pleased with where he is right now."But it's a process and it's a long process. It's still too early to pinpoint an exact time when he'll be back, but everything as of right now is right on schedule, and he's doing terrific. And when he's ready to step on the floor when he's at 100 percent he'll be back on the floor, and we're optimistic he'll be back at some point this year."Rose underwent surgery in May on his torn ACL, but the prognosis for his return ranged anywhere from eight to 12 months. He tore his ACL in the closing minutes of the Bulls' Game 1 playoff series win over the Philadelphia 76ers. In July, The Chicago Tribune reported that Rose could be out until March.

My First Dystopian Novel YKTTW Discussion
|My First Dystopian Novel
A genre of Young Adult fiction where teenage protaganists fight against their oppresive societyNeeds Examples Tropeworthy? Up For Grabs
As people come of age, we expect their understanding of morality to become more complex, moving from Black and White Morality to Grey and Grey Morality (or shades thereof). To achieve this end, many works of fiction aimed at YoungAdults thrust their Audience Surrogate into morally iffy situations. What better place to find morally iffy situations than a horrific Dystopia? Our hero fights to better their society, all while trying not to become monsters themselves. In fact, dystopias are especially apt for young adult fiction because they're often about characters reaching the post-conventional stage of morality, where they start thinking on their own, question what they think they know in the face of empirical evidence, and make their own value judgments, rather than relying on the "common wisdom" and "what everyone else does." The situation where a
- previously submissive and obedient Dystopia citizen
- discovers the cracks in the system
- sometimes they were hidden by design,
- other times only simple privilege blindness allowed the character to overlook them),
- discovers that the system is fallible and flawed
- grows disappointed with it,
- rebels and
- stumbles around while seeking to make their first genuine choices....
- succeeding against The Man and becoming free and independent
- and Lived Happily Ever After
- and go on to make the same bad stuff
- and went on to live as a marginal, powerless, ineffectual dreg of society
- failing and accepting one's true place in society
- and benefit from it immensely, at least by the standards of that society
- In City of Ember, Doon and Lina find out the dark secret of the titular city.
- In The Giver, Jonas fights against the Sameness.
- In The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta fight against the oppressive Capital.
- In the Shadow Children series, where the population is strictly limited to two children per family, third children fight against the government that wants to kill them.
- The Tripods is set on a future Earth that has been subjugated by the Masters - an alien species with different environmental needs, who suppress advanced technology and enslave the population by installing Mind Control hardware in all humans above a certain age, while most of the colony lives in domed cities. Naturally, the revolution relies on those who are able to escape before installation.
- In Unwind. Connor, Risa, and Lev are on the run from a society that sacrifices unwanted teenagers for their organs.
- The Left Behind series has a spin-off simply titled The Kids. It deals with a group of Christian teenagers dealing with the Tribulation and the Antichrist.

I don't know the difference between "the Final Cut" and the "Director's Cut" but this is one of the extended versions of "Blade Runner", one of the all-time sci-fi movie classics. Harrison Ford is the main star but Edward James Olmos plays a significant supporting role. So Olmos has had important roles in one of the most important sci-fi movies of the last 40 years and one of the most important sci-fi television series (BSG, of course).
The movie started 15 minutes ago. In case you miss it, I believe it's available on DVD. But if you're bank account is hurting along with the down economy these days, check it out on the Sci Fi Channel.

Featuring both a closed stand and table measuring 15 x 15 inches, the JWBS-14DX comes complete with a quick tension handle, which enables fast blade changes, and a 3/8-inch blade.
1-1/4 HP Motor and Poly V-Belt Drive for Powerful, Quiet Performance

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Aging Kosciuszko Bridge to Be Replaced
The aging Kosciuszko Bridge — which connects Brooklyn to Queens via the BQE — will be replaced to the tune of $460 million, the state announced this week.
The upgrade is part of a $1.2 billion program of accelerated road and bridge repair and is the single biggest project to come from the New York Works infrastructure program signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo last week.
Construction on the project is scheduled to begin by next April 1, and the new structure is expected to be ready by 2017. It is one of hundreds of structurally deficient bridges around the state.
New York Works is a so-called infrastructure bank that draws from pooled government and private funding designed to speed up spending on big infrastructure projects.
The program will also coordinate big capital construction projects of 45 agencies and authorities, including the MTA, Port Authority and dozens of others.
It will operate under a 15-member governing board, with 9 members appointed by the governor and six by thesState Legislature. The initial funding decisions were made before the board has been named.

Cardinals finish 4th at nationals
DES MOINES, Iowa – Three North Idaho College wrestlers finished in second place and another added a third-place finish as the Cardinals took fourth place at the NJCAA national tournament Saturday.
Harper College, a nonscholarship school in Illinois, won the national team title with 137 points. The Cardinals scored 99 to finish behind Iowa Central (116) and Labette CC of Kansas (105.5).
Celic Bell (184 pounds), Kamron Jackson (197) and Roger McCovey (285) all won their Saturday semifinals to advance to the finals for the Cardinals.
After defeating Arber Bebo from Harper 10-2, Bell lost to Deron Winn of Meramec (Mo.) CC 6-2 in the title match.
Jackson dropped a 14-6 major decision to Walker Clark of Labette after advancing to the title match at 197 with a narrow 4-3 decision against Northwest Wyoming's Mark Jones.
McCovey started the final day with a pin of Stanley Lattimore from Ellsworth (Iowa) CC in 2:27, but lost 5-0 to Landon Harris of Northwest Wyoming in his final match.
The Cardinals' Kyle McCrite rebounded from a loss in Friday's second round to win four consecutive matches and earn third place at 125.
In his final match, McCrite bested Eduardo Domingquez of national champion Harper 13-10.
Also medaling for the Cardinals was Jesse Nielsen, who took sixth place at 165. The freshman won four matches in the consolation bracket before dropping his last two matches.

If the federal government was serious about curbing illegal immigration, they would seriously enforce the laws that prohibit employers from hiring illegals. They would relentlessly prosecute fraudulent use of Social Security numbers. They would raid businesses (based on probable cause, or course) and deport illegals. They would beef up security ON the border, not set up a worthless checkpoint 50 miles inland where a goof with a video camera can refuse to answer questions and drive off without any investigation being done. Of what use is such a checkpoint, other than a "feel good" measure that makes it seem like the feds are doing their jobs while they abdicate their true responsibility to halt illegals?
Does anyone honestly believe that smugglers don't know where these checkpoints are and don't take steps to avoid them? Does anyone seriously think that stopping innocent motorists along the highway without suspicion is the best way to find illegals? Surely no one is this naive.
Funny how you disdain DUI checkpoints as an infringement of your rights, but don't mind these immigration checkpoints. I'd venture to say that, despite the high dollar cost of illegals (which is somewhat offset by the payroll and sales taxes they pay, despite their illegal status), I'd bet DUI kills more of our citizens each year than illegal immigrants. I guess the thousands of citizens being killed on the roads each year by DUI don't constitute an emergency, eh?
I see that you also posted that you would defend virtually any measure to defend against the "destruction of our culture." Our culture? Hmmm. Interesting comment.
The checkpoints might indeed be legal, despite being borderline useless. However, I maintain that unless there is a real, immediate emergency (not hyperventilation and hyperbole), stopping people without suspicion of a violation of a law or ordinance is wrong, period.

NY Medicaid Cuts Hit Home
Yolanda Phipps recently retired after 36 years working as a hospital lab technologist in the Bronx. But she still has a full-time job: taking care of her 93-year-old mother, Irene Serrano, who has advanced dementia, can barely move and can't feed herself or talk.
While Phipps tells the story of her mother — a proud factory worker who was the granddaughter of slaves and a fashion plate at First Sharon Baptist Church on Sundays — Serrano starts to choke a little and coughs.
Phipps pats her mother's chest. The coughing subsides.
"Sometimes the saliva doesn't go down her tube. She tries to cough it up, but she doesn't have the strength," Phipps said. "Sometimes the patting works, and sometimes we have a special tool to suction out the phlegm, and then she'll be ok."
Phipps' mother has had 24-hour care for the past five or six years. Even with the help, Phipps — who lives upstairs — is always on call, since home attendants have very limited certification and can't use suction or an asthma nebulizer or administer medications.
But after a recent visit from a social worker, Phipps received notice from the city, which runs the state- and federally funded program, saying that her mother does not require round-the-clock care, and could get by with an overnight aide who's allowed to sleep and do minimal monitoring from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Phipps will protest that decision at a hearing Monday with a state judge. She'll try to make the case that overnight sleep-in care isn't enough.
"You never know what's going to happen with her. At 2 o'clock in the morning, she may have an asthma attack," Phipps said. "She will make eye contact with you, and that's the only way you know what's going on. You always have to watch her, at all times."
New York's 'Generous' Medicaid Benefits Getting Cut
Almost 100,000 elderly and disabled New York City residents receive home care through Medicaid, but only a very small number receive care at the level Serrano does. Those ranks have declined by 25 percent in the last two years, from about 1,300 people to 1,000. City officials say the drop is due not to budgetary pressures but to state and federal orders to more stringently evaluate all cases.
The average Medicaid cost per long-term care patient is around $40,000 annually in New York, but for people like Serrano who get 24-hour care, the price is closer to $150,000 a year.
New York has developed a more generous Medicaid program than any other state. Close to 20 percent of national Medicaid spending on long-term care in 2009 occurred in New York. The state spent $9.7 billion on home health care and $7.6 billion on nursing homes, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
New York has been trying to rein in Medicaid spending for decades — especially since Andrew Cuomo became governor in 2011. Only about 6 percent of the state's five million Medicaid recipients receive long-term care, but services for them cost about one-fourth of the state's $53 billion tab in 2010.
Valerie Bogart, from Selfhelp Community Services, and other advocates have received many stories of people who have been getting downgraded home coverage.
"As a society, we're going to need to think about how we do long-term care," Bogart said. "For most people, care at home is less expensive than at a nursing home, but the fact is for this small group of outliers, care at home is more expensive."
She said certain conditions, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, will always be expensive to cover, until there's a cure.
"This is true throughout healthcare," Bogart said. "Every insurance company dreads getting the person who has a brain tumor or who needs a heart transplant. But this is what insurance is: you have a lot of people who are cheaper, and then you have the outliers who cost a lot."
Long-Term Care Needs Expected to Grow
And as the population ages, the problem is expected to get worse. There are currently about 5.4 million Americans with Alzheimer's Disease, and that's expected to double or triple by 2050, according to the Alzheimer's Association. The local affiliate estimates by then one out of five New Yorkers will either have the illness or be caring for someone who does.
In the meantime, Robert Doar, Commissioner of the city's Human Resources Administration, said his agency's job is to make the difficult decisions, with a limited amount of resources.
"We're talking about government assistance that over time can be very costly to people really in need," Doar said. "The challenge is to get people the amount of assistance consistent with what they need – and sometimes that may conflict with what they prefer or want."
Doar said personal care services are declining, not because of Cuomo's push to reduce Medicaid spending, but because of a federal fraud prosecution, in which the city admitted to being too lax in awarding and monitoring home care.
"I wouldn't say there are budget pressures," Doar said. "The city was in litigation with the federal government, and we've been determined to make sure we make those [home care] decisions consistent with the rules and regulations."
Doar wouldn't speak about Irene Serrano's case or any others. But he defended how nurses and social workers determine what's medically necessary for people. And he said in addition to clients being offered lower levels of care, they also could receive higher levels of care, too.
"You could have someone who needs to have medical attention frequently during the course of the night, and they night be better served in a hospital or nursing home situation," Doar said. "There are situations where care in the home by a home attendant is not sufficient to care for the person appropriately."
Long-term care advocates say the city calls nursing homes a "higher level of care" as a pretext to justify shifting its most expensive beneficiaries onto a less costly track to live out their days.
State Medicaid Director Jason Helgerson said New York does everything it can to fulfill the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 1999 Olmstead ruling, which says people have a right to live and receive treatment in the community, rather than institutions.
"It's our obligation to try to make sure people have access to home- and community-based care, when possible," Helgerson said.
But it's not an absolute right, and the Olmstead decision gives states an 'out': they can limit home-care services, based on financial resources. So, there's a nod toward Olmstead, but no all-encompassing guarantee the state will cover long-term, die-at-home services.
Keeping a Promise
Yolanda Phipps fears losing the coverage would mean either tethering her to her mother's bedside around-the-clock or ultimately putting her mother in an institution and taking her chances that she'd do better there than with a sleeping home attendant.
"Her words to me were, 'Please don't put me in a nursing home, please don't put me in a nursing home,'" Phipps said. "And I promised to her at that time, when she was aware, that I would never put her in a nursing home."
That's the argument Phipps will make next week before a state judge.
(Photo: Irene Serrano can't move without help, but her daughter and a home health aide dress her up to go to the doctor's office. Allison Wheeler for WNYC)
Even if she prevails, there could be other challenges ahead. An entirely new system is slated to arrive this summer, with Albany taking over long-term care from the city and entrusting it to private managed care companies.
Many of the details for this system are still being worked out. The state needs federal permission, and Washington has already pushed the roll-out back once.
Update: Shortly after this story ran, Yolanda Phipps met with a state judge and the city, to appeal her mother's proposed reduction in home health attendant coverage. This past weekend, Phipps learned that her mother can continue to receive around-the-clock home health aides. In a letter to Phipps, the city said the proposed reduction in services was a mistake, and should never have happened.

The federal government would need to spend $575 million over five years to create new structures and systems to oversee federal spending under the Digital Accountability and Transparency (DATA) Act of 2011 proposed by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office.
Under Issa's proposal, a new Federal Accountability and Spending Transparency Board would replace the board currently overseeing Recovery.gov, which reports on spending under the economic stimulus law of 2009.

Rep. Issa tries oversight on recovery board model
The new board would have the authority to establish data standards to track and report data on all federal spending, including contracts, grants and loans.
The CBO report of Sept. 16 estimates the cost of operating the new board and its staffing and activities at $250 million over five years.
In addition, the legislation authorizes creation of a single comprehensive database of federal spending on contracts, grants and loans to be displayed on a public website.
"Creating this website would involve combining and eliminating some current systems," the CBO report states. The board would also establish consistent definitions for data, reporting, and standards for agencies and recipients of funds.
The net cost of creating the comprehensive website, establishing data standards and streamlining existing systems would be $325 million over five years. That figure takes into account savings that would result from ending the authorities of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which oversees Recovery.gov, and savings from eliminating some federal information systems, the report states.
The sum also takes into account additional costs that would be incurred for computers, training, activities to standardize financial reporting, and communications between agencies and recipients about the reporting.

Samurai village
After getting up, we headed to Shibuya train station. Here there is a statue of a dog named Hachikō, who would meet his master at this station when he returned home each day. One day his master died and did not return but the faithful dog continued to go to the station to wait for his friend every day, for 9 more years, until he himself died. It was a very touching story which became a national inspiration, hence the statue.
We then headed towards a nearby park, getting a ...

Recent Brigantine reviews
"We've stayed here for a few years now and most recently rented the home for two full weeks. The location is ridiculous; you're two houses from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, bars, and grocery/convenient stores. The outdoor porches are perfect for listening to the ocean while lounging and relaxing morning, noon and night. The house is very clean and spacious, with plenty of living space and bedrooms and baths for all guests. We've stayed in Brig for a number of the years and this is the best house yet; one we will continue to rent as long as we can. It's the absolute perfect shore house rental."Guest: Michelle L. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 17, 2015View listing
"One of the most beautiful beach homes we have rented so far. This perfect beach house is even nicer than the pictures portray. Breathtaking views of the ocean from two decks, a perfect family vacation home that will satisfy all."Guest: rnmedic Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 19, 2015View listing
"We have an amazing week at the condo in Brigantine. The condo was spacious, clean and cozy. It featured all of the amenities we could need. The best part about our stay was the fact that the condo was only steps from the beach. We were able to walk within minutes and enjoy sunrise/sunset on the sand. The condo is a great find! We would love to stay again!"Guest: Nicole D. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 31, 2015View listing
"Outstanding Beach Vacation House. Less then 5 minute walk to Beautiful Brigantine Ocean Beach. Around the corner from Pirates Den with new owners & updated menu. Five minutes from Links at Brigantine Golf. Inexpensive and fast 15 minute cab ride to Borgata and 5 minutes to restaurants mid-island (suggest "Cellar 32"). Spacious house with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths can accommodate 6 - 8 very comfortably and up to ten. Strongly suggest purchasing "Cactus Juice" bug spray on Amazon for stay as bugs and particularly the green flies on the beach can be a nuisance."Guest: Mike K.

Procurement for the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy
All purchasing activities for the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) community are governed by the Illinois Laws Governing Procurement Code and the Procurement Rules of the Chief Procurement Officer
While there are many larger purchases that require the use of the Sealed Bid or Request for Proposal procedures, there are also many other orders for items which local vendors may be able to provide. Smaller dollar purchases may use some other competitive selection process. The type of purchase establishes the dollar threshold for an order requiring the use of the formal bidding process, as follows:
For Professional and artistic services: Less than $20,000.00
For purchases of Supplies & Services: Greater than $55,800.00
For construction-type work: Greater than $78,300.00
For Architect/Engineering/Land Surveying work: Less than $25,000.00
For Real property and Capital Improvement leases: Less than $100,000.00 (Must also be less than 10,000 sq. ft.)
Other exceptions granted to IMSA (contact Procurement)
IMSA current bids, as well as current awards, are advertised in the Illinois Higher Education Procurement Bulletin. This is a web-based Internet site available without charge to all potential bidders. Notices for upcoming Bids and Requests for Proposal appear in the Procurement Bulletin for a minimum of 14 days. IMSA has also recently began placing entire bids on this web site, available for direct downloading by vendors. The web site is available 24 hours a day and also carries bid notices for the other 12 Public University Purchasing Offices of Illinois Public Education.
The Procurement Services Department at IMSA is the only department that is authorized to prepare and issue purchase order obligations for the academy.
IMSA's purchasing system requires a formal written purchase authorization in order to initiate a business transaction between a vendor and IMSA. Without a written purchase order prepared by the Office of Business and Financial Services, or an order with a required contract document prepared by the Procurement Services, IMSA may not initiate payments on invoices submitted. IMSA may also not honor invoices dated prior to the issue date of the related purchase order.
Where a two-party signed agreement is required, no work on any such procurement should begin until all authorized parties to the contract have signed a formal written document.
If a vendor ships goods or provides services to IMSA without having a valid purchase order, IMSA is not obligated to pay the invoice - only a valid Purchase Order provides that obligation. This is true even if an IMSA employee requests of a potential vendor that items be shipped or services provided.
True emergency situations do occur from time to time that may require goods to be shipped or services performed before a purchase order can be issued. Should that occur, written authorization from the Office of Procurement Services will be required to authorize payment.
Questions or concerns about this policy may be addressed to the Procurement Services Manager.
Businesses interested in becoming vendors are urged to make contact with the office of Procurement Services. IMSA is always looking for qualified vendors who can provide quality goods and services required to operate the academy. An important first step for any business desiring significant work with the academy is to register as a vendor on the State of Illinois Higher Education Procurement Bulletin. See the information as follows at Doing Business with Universities
State of Illinois Business Enterprise Program (BEP)
IMSA is encouraged to purchase needed goods and services from businesses owned and controlled by Minorities, Females, and/or Persons with Disabilities in accordance with the Illinois Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act, effective August 28, 1994. Under the State of Illinois Business Enterprise Program (BEP), organizations once certified and approved, may have their Illinois sales transactions used in reporting progress toward meeting pre-established agency and academy goals. In return, businesses may receive added exposure for their products and services, as well as, the possibility for expanded opportunities statewide. IMSA is committed to creating an equitable and competitive business environment through encouraging campus departments to proactively consider qualified certified business owned by minorities, females and persons with disabilities for their contracting needs in accordance with the Minority and Female Business Enterprise Act (MAFBEA).
The Minority and Female Business Enterprise Program (MAFBE) is an academy initiative committed to vendor diversification by ensuring that businesses with ownership meeting the definitions "minority," "female," and "persons with disabilities," are included in the academy procurement process. Only Illinois Certified vendors are recognized by the academy's BEP program. Faculty, staff, and student organization representatives should search the State of Illinois BEP Vendor Database for vendors that have been certified by the State of Illinois under the Business Enterprise Program (BEP). Vendors who wish to have more information about certification should contact the Procurement Office at (630) 907-5036 or visit the Sell 2 Illinois Web Site.
Please contact Carla Carreno, Procurement Services Manager, at 630-907-5036. The address is 1500 Sullivan Road Aurora IL 60506, as given in the Bidder Application Form. The main office phone number is 630-907-5031, (FAX 630-907-5976) and hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Tokyo - Japan
Most major four-star and five-star hotels are located conveniently within walking distance of Tokyo's major commercial and business centers, as well as most other places of interest around the city, such as the Ginza, Akasaka-mitsuke, Shinagawa, Ebisu, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Roppongi. Some of these hotels are locally-owned, others belong to global hotel chains, but all provide the highest standards of international hotel service. Rooms are usually smaller than in other cities, since space is at a premium in Tokyo, but you can be sure your stay will be a very comfortable and pleasant one. Most of the staff speak English and provide service with that unique Japanese attention to detail.
Take in some serious 70s kitsch at the Hotel Alcyone, a reasonably priced and comfortable hotel that has preserved all of its gaudy décor from this era. Check out the nearby Kabuki-za theater for some interesting entertainment. For the traveler on a budget, one hotel that won't cost you much is the Tokyo Hotel Urashima, and since it's located right in the middle of the Ginza shopping oasis, you'll have plenty of places to spend the money you saved on your bill. Also close to many shops and restaurants is the Ginza Nikko Hotel, which is slightly more expensive but definitely doable if you're on a budget.
It's good to be based in this district if you have partying in mind; you'll find a ton of trouble in Roppongi. Hotel Okura ranks among the top ten hotels in the world. You certainly get the best here: a choice of deluxe rooms, a salon, spa, photo studio, and even a dentist, while the Roppongi Prince Hotel, with its iconic wishbone-shaped pool offers a quiet place to escape the hustle and bustle right in the heart of this fast-paced district. Another option, the Hotel Ibis, is a more reasonably-priced place to stay, and just as relaxing as its more upscale counterparts.
The modern and very plush Hotel New Otani has a rooftop rose garden and a museum that is free to all guests, but for those who don't quite have the budget for such luxuries, not to worry; budget hotels do exist in Tokyo. Try the Asia Center of Japan. Rooms come with a bath or without, and there is an in-house cafeteria dining hall that serves up cheap, tasty eats. Another less expensive option, the Toshi Center Hotel, is set up to accommodate business travelers, offering conference rooms and banquet halls, but the rooms are comfortable as well, and a few dining options available.
The world's busiest train station is located in this district, along with the various businesses that comprise Tokyo's major commercial center. The Hotel Kent is situated close to many bars, restaurants and large arcades, perfect if you're in the mood to stay out all night. The English-speaking staff at Star Hotel Tokyo give guests all the basics to ensure that their stay is easy and comfortable. Looking for accommodations that are as lavish as they are conveniently located? Then check-in to the Park Hyatt Tokyo or the Hilton Tokyo, both of which are sure to exceed your expectations for service and amenities.
Several large department stores selling everything from cosmetics and hosiery to electronics and video games can be found amongst the bright, neon lights of this district, and with the popular Sunshine City close by, why wouldn't you want to find a hotel in Ikebukuro? The moderately-priced Ark Hotel Tokyo provides guests with Western-style accommodations and a friendly, English-speaking staff, while Hotel Grand City is an even less-expensive option for those looking to be close to Sunshine City. The Kimi Ryokan has rooms with tatami mats, if you're looking for a stay with traditional atmosphere, but be sure to book in advance, as rooms at this inexpensive inn sellout quickly during peak tourist seasons.
This is also a popular spot among travelers looking to stay close to Roppongi and Shibuya. Named for the Yebisu brand ale created by the Japan Beer Brewery, today you can visit the Yebisu Garden Place, which houses a free museum dedicated to the history of the Brewery. Nearby, the Japanese-style rooms of the Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo offer a nice change from the ordinary, or try the beautiful, 30s-era Gajoen Kanko Hotel, which offers traditional, stylish rooms and top-notch service.
Moderately-priced hotels in this area include the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, which has a pool, karaoke bar and an in-hotel cinema, as well as its own Aqua Stadium, which has aquariums, dolphin shows and even a roller coaster. Quite an amount of amenities for the price! Budget travelers with a taste for an authentic Japanese ryokan experience can check-in to the conveniently-located Ryokan Sansuiso, while high-end afficianados should look to the Dai-ichi Hotel Tokyo Seafort, a friendly hotel that offers views of Tokyo Bay and a choice of three restaurants, all with large bay windows and lovely, modern decor.

The Sakura Hotel or the New Central Hotel are good for those looking for very inexpensive accommodations. Somewhat spartan, with shared bathrooms (bring your own towel) and cramped quarters, these lodgings makes up for their lack of amenities by often being as cheerful as they are cheap. Friendly and homey, their eclectic common rooms are the melting pot for countless travelers from around the world. The Hotel Juraku is another no-frills option.
