CONCORD, N.C. -- Eddie Gossage never pulls punches with his ad campaigns, so there was no reason to pull any when asking about his latest.
"So, how's your 'sex sells' ad campaign going?" the president of Texas Motor Speedway was asked during a recent trip to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Gossage paused for a brief moment, chuckled and responded, "Boy, you just break it down to the lowest common denominator."
He then proceeded to tell how while doodling ideas this past spring, he came up with his "No Limits" campaign, which cost a half-million dollars and kicked off with scantily clad girls -- otherwise known as the "Great American Sweethearts" -- and a Goo Goo Dolls concert at the House of Blues in Dallas.
He explained that he didn't have the resources to pay for separate campaigns that would reach the young and older demographics, so he considered what the common denominator was between a 20-year-old male who likes hot cars and a 55-year-old who likes hot cars.
A lightbulb came on.
"It's chicks," Gossage said. "That's just the truth."
I blew up a lot of things, but I never tried anything like that. Ultimately, what I found works the best is to sell the racing. But who am I to argue with Eddie?
"-- H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler
Gossage arguably is the best race promoter on the planet these days. He finds ways to get attention for his track in a market overwhelmed by the Dallas Cowboys and American League champion Texas Rangers almost 365 days a year.
Sometimes they're controversial. Who will forget his 2008 campaign promoting the strained relationship between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and stepmom Teresa with billboards that eventually were changed at the Earnhardts' request?
Or the April Fools' hoax earlier this year in which Gossage sent out a release saying Dallas disc jockey Terry Dorsey accepted an offer of $100,000 to legally change his name to TexasMotorSpeedway.com?
But nothing has put Gossage into the spotlight more than what he refers to as his "hot cars and hot chicks" campaign. It's marketing that many fellow track presidents are monitoring with ticket sales way off during extremely tough economic times but that few want to comment on.
Several declined to discuss the promotion at all. You can't blame them for being skeptical, because few campaigns at any track have made a major impact, and the cost of this one is way more than what many have on their budget.
There's also concern promoting "hot chicks," although that's been a part of the sport since the first pinup girl appeared in Victory Lane.
"I guess guys will try anything," said H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler, who was described as the P.T. Barnum of promoters during his days as president of Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he recreated famous war battles to attract fans. "I blew up a lot of things, but I never tried anything like that.
"Ultimately, what I found works the best is to sell the racing."
Ultimately, that has to be the solution. Texas has no better product to sell than Sunday's race, which features the closest battle in Chase history with four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson only 14 points up on Denny Hamlin and 38 ahead of Kevin Harvick with three races remaining.
But Gossage began this campaign way before anybody knew this wouldn't be another Johnson runaway. His need to think outside the box has made some in the business uncomfortable. Even Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman Bruton Smith was leery of this campaign at first, saying he thought $500,000 "was a lot of money."
"But who am I to argue with Eddie?" said Smith, who writes the checks for TMS. "He is the best."
Pushing the envelope?
Darrell Waltrip stopped by Gossage's temporary workstation at CMS to say hello only to be blindsided by the same abrupt question that Gossage was greeted by earlier.
"Sue Cothran name mean anything?" Gossage asked of the trophy queen at Nashville Speedway in the 1970s.
Waltrip smiled, almost to the point of blushing, and responded, "I knew her very well."
Then the jokes started, prompting the three-time Cup champion and analyst for Fox to add, "I won a lot of trophies."
Gossage's point? There are no new ideas.
"There's just versions of old ideas," he added.
Initial numbers for this idea were encouraging. After the Aug. 17 announcement, TMS saw a 200 percent jump in season-ticket sales compared to the first three weeks of 2009 sales. Gossage expects the final increase in 2011 season-ticket sales to be around 10 to 11 percent. That's good, but overall new sales haven't increased much.
The new "No Limits" products that include skulls, crosses and wings for a younger audience also have provided an economic boost, with 25 percent of the track's daily sales going toward that. Gossage doesn't hesitate to show off the edgy logo on the golf shirt he is wearing.
He's not wearing the edgy T-shirts that have more of an athletic cut.
"I can't wear them," Gossage said with a laugh.
Gossage also can't wear the skimpy outfits picked for Great American Sweethearts Stephanie, Brittany and Becky. The tight, high-riding shorts and midriff-bearing tops leave little to the imagination, thus leading to the "sex sells" premise.
"Absolutely, under no circumstances, would I do something that is trashy and in poor taste," Gossage said. "[The girls are] not going to go anywhere or do anything that is distasteful. They're going to wear more clothes than a college cheerleader.
"But who likes hot cars that doesn't like the girls?"
Gossage described this portion of the campaign with his wife next to him. She's not offended. Gossage said she jokingly suggested the girls should be driven around by a "big, good-looking guy" to attract women fans.
If it works, more power to Gossage. Tracks need to find ways to attract fans, particularly new ones, with ticket sales lagging to the point it's almost a crisis situation. History tells us in general marketing that sex indeed sells but, as most marketers will tell you, only when used in good taste.
Go too far, and it can have a negative impact. So far, that apparently hasn't been the case at TMS, where Gossage says he's gotten less than a dozen complaints, all of which he's personally addressed.
"It got into religious issues with some, and others just thought it was bad taste," Gossage said. "You can't make the spiritual argument to me. ... The prudish argument of this offended me if you're going to write me this bulls--- and then tell me the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are wholesome.
Investigative journalism
To complete research on this subject, an interview with one of the Great American Sweethearts seemed in order. The instructions were to call Becky at 11 p.m. CT.
Asked which one that was, the response: "the redhead."
You never hear Tony Stewart or Kyle Busch described by the color of their hair, but when in Rome.
Becky started by saying it's not her job to sell sex. She insisted "we're not there to just be pretty girls," that their job is to promote the track and make sure the fans are having fun.
"I'm not going to lie," Becky said. "When they first told me about it I was, 'Oh, what are we going to have to wear?' But we were all on the same page from the get-go. We weren't going to be like cheerleaders. We weren't going to be just sex symbols. This was going to be done with good taste."
Gossage doesn't hesitate to say this is the most successful promotion of his career. He also doesn't hesitate to justify the initial expense, reminding that a $900,000 track sponsor that was on the fence renewed its deal during the kickoff party and another sponsor looking to spend money at another track came on board.
He also said that NASCAR chairman Brian France, standing on stage with him and the girls at the House of Blues, turned and said, "Holy s---, everybody ought to do this."
To be fair, Texas isn't the only track to use hot chicks as part of its marketing. Girls dressed in bikinis are part of a Las Vegas Motor Speedway commercial that will run during the Texas race broadcast. Charlotte Motor Speedway brought girls wearing short dirndl outfits promoting an event at its track.
That's racing now, as it was in the 1960s and '70s, when it was said if you were a race fan and didn't know who Linda Vaughn was, it was time to turn in your card. Vaughn, for the record, was the original "Miss Hurst Golden Shifter," the self-proclaimed "First Lady of Drag Racing".
The girls are just the tip of Gossage's campaign. He will turn the Nationwide Series garage into a party zone Saturday night with a swimming pool the size of a football field for wakeboarding demonstrations. There'll be chain saw-toting girls carving wooden statues, bands, drivers on stage for fan Q-and-A sessions and trampolines on the garage roof for demonstrations.
The idea is to create an atmosphere that will make those in the stands want to buy the package that gets them inside, just as the idea with the girls is to get fans inside the track.
That is the challenge every track president faces.
"It's so difficult to tell what works, to quantify the success of an ad campaign or a particular TV spot or radio or newspaper ad or social networking," Las Vegas track president Chris Powell said. "I'm much more concerned with the state of the economy and that people are much less likely to travel today than the contents of an ad campaign."
Powell has the advantage of selling Las Vegas as a destination. Gossage and many other promoters don't have that option.
But what ultimately should bring fans back to the track is the competition, and a Chase like this one has to help.
Meanwhile, promoters believe they need to push the advertising limits just as crew chiefs push the car limits.
"In this case, I came up with the idea, and [the TMS staff] -- they fleshed it out," Gossage said.
Fleshed. Interesting way to put it.
"I'm telling you," Gossage said, "this is not a 'sex sells' campaign."

Instruction in Critical Listening
The ability of an experienced audio professional (e.g., a sound mixer) to detect minute deviations from accepted norms of audio quality is attained through a multitude of random listening experiences over many years. A programmed audio course of study has been devised which subjects the novice trainee to carefully ordered series of similar listening experiences. This course is intended to accelerate the learning process but never to deprecate the importance of actual listening experiences on the job. The close relationship between audio faults and audio technology is recognized by parallel instruction in audio concepts.

So, my family lives in a small bungalow house. We love eachother very much so.
There is my father, a vacuum salesman. His name is Steve. He is a very great man. He is about 44 years of age.
My mother, Linda, is a referral processor at Kaiser Permanente. She is 48. A very sweet woman. Everyone loves her.
My older half-sister Brandy is 22 years old. She is still in school, but we don't talk much. Last I heard she was training to become a lawyer.
My brothers name is Joe, a very different 16 year old. He is nice at times but can become very mean.
I also have another half-sister with the surname of Sefcik, who isn't at all related to the Ambrose family. She is a very caring 19 year old.
So this is our little Tulsa family, thanks for reading.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Jessica Breland finished off a plate of food and talked about continuing to chase one of her goals.
"Guess how much I weigh now?" she asked, smiling.
Unlike many people, the answer that Breland hopes for is that you might notice she has gained weight. After battling Hodgkin's lymphoma this summer, the 6-foot-3 post player for North Carolina was worried about how much she had lost.
Even before getting ill, Breland felt she needed to add some bulk to her 165-pound frame to help her handle the pounding inside better. But while she was undergoing chemotherapy, which typically left her exhausted and nauseated, Breland's weight fell as low as 140.
"Now I'm at 171.5 [pounds]," she said, adding with a laugh, "don't forget that .5 -- that's important. I'd never been over 165 before. So I'm happy, but I still want to get a little bigger. I'm shooting for 180. I want to get more muscle."
Breland had to redshirt in what was to be her senior season, and previously spoke in December with ESPN.com about dealing with cancer. Of course, February's Pink Zone -- which raises money for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund -- has great personal significance now for Breland.
"It overwhelms me at times," she said of seeing the devotion to cancer research. "I never really knew the true meaning of all this or felt it as much as I do now. For everybody who's going through treatments, seeing this is a support for them."
Expected to be one of the top forwards in the country this season, Breland has been very tough for the Tar Heels to replace. North Carolina has lost four games in a row and is in the odd position of being in the bottom six of the ACC with a 4-5 record. The Tar Heels face Virginia on Monday (ESPN2, 7 p.m. ET).
Especially with the Heels struggling, Breland has found watching from the bench even more difficult than she expected.
"I thought as the season went on, it would get easier -- but it hasn't at all," Breland said. "It seems like it gets harder. But I have great support from family and friends who encourage me to keep my head up and not rush it. They tell me to just sit back and learn all I can.
"I feel like I've learned more in these last few months than in the other 21 years of my life. I look at basketball from a different point of view."
Breland tries to pass on tips to her teammates and keep things as positive as possible in practice. She is able to work out to some degree with them, but can't do as much as she'd like.
"Our athletic trainer holds me back. She gives me this look like, 'You better not,'" Breland said. "I just want to get out there and do more. I lift weights four or five times a week. When they run, I try to run with them. I shoot, the basic stuff. I want to get into a little of the contact, but I'm not allowed. I can do everything except contact drills."
But as you could guess from her weight gain, Breland is feeling good these days. And she looks so good that she encounters people who haven't heard about her having cancer and ask her why she's not playing this season.
"And I just pause you don't always know how to answer," she said. "So then I tell them, and they feel bad, and I'm like, 'Don't worry; it's OK.' And then they say, 'You don't look like you had cancer! You're so healthy!'"
Still, Breland is closely monitored. Her next PET (positron emission tomography) scan is Tuesday.
"And I see a lung specialist every month," she said. "One of the medicines from the chemo damaged my lungs, and they have me on some different medicine now. The first time I went, my breathing test was down, but now I'm up to 90 percent.
"I can actually breathe out of my nose now, and I didn't used to be able to do that. My adenoids were huge, and they shrunk from the chemo. Overall, I probably feel better than I ever have."
So most of the time, she doesn't even think much about all she has been through.
"When I do, it's when I'm working out and I feel like I want to take a break," Breland said. "Like if I'm lifting weights, and I'm at my 10th rep and I have to get to 15 and think I can't do it. Then I remember what I've dealt with, and I just push through it."

Not long ago, CIOs faced an uphill battle trying to convince their organizations of the need for enterprise spam protection. Today you'd be hard-pressed to find even a small organization that hasn't implemented some sort of integrated spam/virus protection strategy.
Antivirus protection is crucial, but the growing list of very public data leaks and their often-expensive aftermath show that stopping external attacks isn't the last word in protecting valuable information. The need for more safeguards has spawned a new class of protection, dubbed data-loss prevention, or DLP.
Granted, only a small percentage of businesses have to worry about safeguarding millions of records containing credit card data. But every organization holds confidential data of some sort that must be protected--whether it's a spreadsheet with payroll data or the design for a top-secret weapon being built by a defense contractor. Therefore, all organizations have significant motivation to protect key digital assets.
End-To-End Awareness
However, if the need for safer data is clear, the definition of DLP isn't. What constitutes DLP? Any piece of backup software, disk encryption software, firewall, network access control appliance, virus scanner, security event and incident management appliance, network behavior analysis appliance--you name it--can be loosely defined as a product that facilitates DLP.
For the purposes of this Rolling Review, we will define enterprise DLP offerings as those that take a holistic, multitiered approach to stopping data loss, including the ability to apply policies and quarantine information as it rests on a PC (data in use), as it rests on network file systems (data at rest), and as it traverses the LAN or leaves the corporate boundary via some communication protocol (data in motion).
Locking down access to USB ports or preventing files from being printed or screen-captured isn't enough anymore; organizations require true content awareness across all channels of communication and across all systems.
In an environment where IT is expected to beef up security while users demand increasingly liberal usage policies, how are IT managers supposed to ensure data integrity? Clearly, most corporate IT departments are in no position to implement strict usage policies. Implementing DLP at the endpoint only is the most practical approach. Most organizations, however, live in a big house with many open windows, so an increasing number of organizations are turning to vendors that offer protection and awareness of data as it moves through the network as well.
Prices for DLP run the gamut, ranging from around $30 per seat for endpoint encryption products to six figures and beyond for end-to-end systems.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Don't forget the hat and belt, buddy!
Bobby Bowden has called a lot of people "buddy," and I'm one of them. What better way to avoid remembering names, especially the name of the guy who washed your underwear.
As a student at Florida State, I worked as an equipment manager for the football team, and among the many, ahem, glorious duties I had was laundry detail. Jockstraps, game uniforms, whatever. You name it, I washed it.
Now, getting to handle the Big Man's gear was not an assignment handed to you on your first day. In fact, I didn't get to that level until I was a junior. Like a rite of passage, I was finally taught The Lesson of Bowden's Laundry from my superiors.
Bowden liked one specific type of underwear, and when we checked his laundry, we washed it as soon as possible. No matter how much or how little there was in his bin.
I guess one of the perks that comes with almost unparalleled success is prompt (and impeccable) laundry service -- and the right to be a little particular.
But it wasn't just his underwear. There were, of course, the hat and the belt, which required the most attention when the equipment staff made its game-day preparations.
The belt was cause for double- and triple-checking the luggage before away games. Bowden always wore this crazy garnet belt that featured his initials and an assortment of arrowheads and feathers. It looked like something that could be made at a state fair but seemingly was an essential part of his wardrobe.
Thankfully, sometime in his 30-plus years at Florida State, someone was smart enough to create a duplicate, since the original was left behind during a late-season trip. I'm not sure whether I was more afraid of upsetting Bowden or receiving some horrible punishment like cleaning an industrial lint trap that made me have to consciously find, pack and check that belt off the list.
The hat was a different story. The equipment staff always traveled with a cache of hats in Bowden's size, and his was always a different color than the other coaches'. But when Bowden adopted the "Indiana Jones" hat . That threw a wrench into the works for an equipment staff that needed everything (and its backup) in its place.
I'm not sure whether many people know this, but Bowden would always autograph his hat and toss it into the crowd after every game. Seeing that the equipment staff had only one fedora, this would be a problem. And when Nike (Florida State's uniform sponsor) sent some jazzed-up versions of the hat our way, it became a must-have item after games, much like catching a drum stick at a concert.
Other people could tell better stories about working with or being coached by him, but my time at Florida State and my Bowden memories all seem to involve clothing.
I returned to Florida State for an ESPN assignment in 2006, two years after I graduated. I went to Coach Bowden's office to escort him to our interview. He didn't ask me anything about his laundry, but he did call me "buddy."

It's the night of the Easter Vigil. After the lighting of the new fire, the glow of candles in a darkened church is a vivid reminder that the light of Christ, shared in baptism, lights up our common life. The restoration of the baptism of adults to its primary place in the church's ensemble of rites for the Easter solemnity underscores the treasure we have, and share, in baptism. But baptism is in trouble in the United States. Not only is infant baptism declining throughout Catholic dioceses, but adult baptism has been diminishing too—and at a startling rate.
In 2000, the U.S. bishops published a scientific study (the only one to date) about how the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is faring. The news was encouraging. Seventy-five percent of U.S. Catholic parishes were using it. Most people who participated rated their experience "good." RCIA was also shown to have the best retention rate of any sacramental preparation process in the church today: 64 percent of Catholics who went through RCIA attended Mass weekly after initiation; 50 percent were active in parish ministries and committees.
The bishops affirmed that the RCIA "has the power to transform parishes when implemented as the rite is intended." No other rite of the postconciliar era has received such a strong evaluation, but the bishops'...

I suspect I may be under federal investigation. Is there a way to look up whether or not I am under investigation or have pending federal charges?
Federal Crime Lawyer
There is no way to know if you are being investigated. That information is kept confidential unless you are subpoenaed to testify in the grand jury and receive a "target letter" stating that you are a target of the investigation. If there are pending federal charges, you would either receive a summons to appear in court or you would be arrested.
If you believe there is a reason that you may be subject to federal charges, you should consult with an attorney. Your attorney may be able to intervene on your behalf before charges are brought to either prevent charges entirely or to achieve a more lenient outcome.
Federal Crime Lawyer
There is no database that you can access to confirm that you are under investigation by federal authorities, but the answer may be found with the assistance of counsel. Please call or email if you would like to discuss.
Joshua Sabert Lowther, Esq.
Personal Injury Lawyer
I agree with the other two attorneys. There is no way to know if you are under federal investigation. However, if you believe you are being investigated, or think you have committed a crime, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to assist you in case you get subpoenaed or arrested.

Introduction: the peer review crisis
Peer review is a fundamental and essential component of the scientific process, providing some quality control over what science is funded and published, and helping assure publication of articles in appropriate journals (Wagner 2006). Authors submit funding proposals and manuscripts reporting research findings, and these are evaluated by reviewers drawn from the community of their peers. Individual scientists participate in the process as both author and reviewer.
Increasing numbers of manuscripts submitted to an ever-growing number of journals are putting increasing demands on the peer review process (Riisgard et al. 2001, Hochberg et al. 2009, Holyoak 2009, McPeek et al. 2009). Receiving in one week five or more requests to review manuscripts is not uncommon. Editors speak of greater and greater difficulty soliciting sufficient numbers of quality reviews. Indeed, some leading journals require that editors nominate 10 potential reviewers, in order to stand a good chance of securing three reviews. Coupled with the limited direct incentives to review, the demand for reviews is beginning to outstrip supply (note, however, that there is little quantitative information about long-term trends). It is possible that the average quality of reviews will decline because reviewers have less time to spend per manuscript, if this is not already happening. The peer review system is under significant pressure due to this "tragedy of the reviewer commons" (Hochberg et al. 2009).
Funding agencies also have to obtain sufficient numbers of useful peer reviews, often in a relatively short time. Some have taken action that suggests they too are experiencing increasing difficulty soliciting peer reviews (e.g., the establishment of the Natural Environment Research Council, UK, Peer Review College). For the remainder of this article we focus on the peer review of manuscripts submitted for possible publication in scientific journals. Many of the points we make and solutions we suggest are, however, likely to be equally applicable to the review of funding applications.
Here we address the problem of obtaining sufficient quality and timely peer reviews. We outline the solutions so far proposed, propose and discuss in detail our new solution, and briefly explore how it could be implemented.

LOS GATOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/13/14 -- Pertino, a company reinventing networking for the cloud era, today announced the appointment of the heads of inside sales and product as its cloud networking service enters general availability worldwide. Pertino's Cloud Network Engine helps SMBs "unbox" their networks by replacing traditional VPN and network appliances with cloud-based services that can be deployed in a few clicks. Since launching public beta early last year, more than 5,000 customers have created free or paid Pertino cloud networks. To build on this momentum and early market leadership, Pertino hired two proven executives -- Bharath Rangarajan as vice president of product and Ritch Haselden as vice president of inside sales.
"Our Cloud Network Engine has evolved significantly during public beta. Today we have a business-ready cloud networking service that reaches across four continents, supports all modern computing platforms with Android in beta and iOS on the way, and we've introduced the first set of apps for our AppScape network services app store," said Craig Elliott, CEO and co-founder of Pertino. "Bharath and Ritch bring proven talents that will be instrumental to building on our early product leadership in SDN-powered cloud networking and revving-up sales."
Bharath Rangarajan comes to Pertino with more than 10 years of product leadership experience spanning SaaS, cloud, mobile, and data management technologies. Prior to joining Pertino, Rangarajan served as senior director of product management at Citrix Systems, where he was responsible for the product strategy, roadmap, and adoption of Citrix's enterprise mobility and end-user computing solution. He also held senior positions with WebEx (Cisco Systems), GemStone Systems (acquired by VMware in 2010), and Candle Corporation (acquired by IBM Corp in 2004).
Ritch Haselden brings more than 15 years of experience in building high-performance, transactional sales organizations for both B2C and B2B companies. Most recently, Haselden served as vice president of sales at ResponseLINK, a leader in consumer healthcare-related services. Previously, he was vice president of sales and general manager at Rainmaker Systems, a leader in IT contract management, and the co-founder and president of GolfNow, a provider of golf course marketing services that was acquired by NBC Sports.
Time for a New Way to Network
Today's SMBs are leading the way when it comes to workforce mobility, allowing personal devices at work, and shifting IT infrastructure to the cloud. Consequently, these trends are making the public Internet critical to their business productivity. Pertino makes it possible for SMBs to create a simple and secure cloud network over the Internet that delivers the enterprise-class capabilities needed to meet this challenge without the cost, complexity, and reliability issues of legacy hardware-based VPNs.
Pertino Cloud Network Engine
By combining the power and pervasiveness of the cloud with next generation network virtualization and software-defined networking technologies, Pertino's Cloud Network Engine provides an entirely new way to build and manage networks in the cloud. Pertino users enjoy full access to behind-the-firewall and cloud hosted files and applications from anywhere and any device, and everything works just like in the office. The recently announced AppScape app store for cloud network services allows customer to purchase and deploy security, visibility, and control services on their cloud network in just a few clicks and starting at just a few dollars per month.
"As a provider of specialized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions and consulting, our cloud-hosted GIS licensing server is the life-blood of our company," said Micah Williamson, a certified GIS professional at Cloudpoint Geographics. "Since our server is in the cloud, it only made sense to have our network in the cloud too. While technical, I'm not an IT pro. But Pertino made it easy for me to build a reliable, always-on cloud network in minutes that supports our customer engagements and our company's mobile work-style."
Pricing and Availability
Pertino's Cloud Network Engine is generally available and its presence continues to expand across top-tier cloud datacenters around the world. Customers can get started building their cloud network for free with the three device Personal plan, and upgrade at any time to a paid plan starting at $29/month.
About Pertino
Founded in 2011, Pertino has an inspired vision for reinventing networking for the cloud era, and in the process, being a catalyst for democratizing IT for small-to-medium businesses. Globalization, cloud-enabled IT, and growing demand for always-connected people, devices, and things is affecting businesses of all sizes -- making the "outside network" as critical as the inside one. However, traditional wide-area networks have not kept pace. Pertino's revolutionary Cloud Network Engine enables an IT person, regardless of skill level, to build a secure and reliable cloud network in minutes that connects people everywhere to IT resources anywhere. To achieve this breakthrough, Pertino has developed a software-driven cloud platform that combines the power and pervasiveness of the cloud with network virtualization and Software-defined Network (SDN) technology. The company is venture funded and headquartered in Los Gatos, Calif. For more information or to try Pertino free for yourself, please visit pertino.com.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course).

It would be interesting to see how much Exxon will be sued now that they have lost their case in New Hampshire over groundwater pollution with MTBE.
"In Europe, Achten (2002) during a study conducted in Germany, confirmed the presence of MTBE traces in numerous rivers, in water entering urban wastewater treatment plants but also after purification, substantiating the relative inability of the plants to cope with the MTBE pollution. Kolb and Puttman (2006) determined the MTBE concentrations in 83 finished drinking water samples from 50 cities in Germany.... In France, in 1999, the drinking water distribution had to be interrupted for several days in (Pas-de-Calais)....
--Petroleum Microbiology, concepts, environmental implications, industrial applications (2005)
This is just the first step. Exxon has a history of appealing these State judgements to federal courts for years, if not decades.
XOM will go UP on this news. It is mere peanuts compared to XOM's total revenue.

Tracy's Profile
Enjoying what nature provides:
Living in a playground of mountains, lakes, and rivers, I am forever backpacking, kayaking, camping...always on the lookout for natural materials to weave my baskets out of. I like to think that when I incorporate materials from my adventures into a basket, I am able to share that experience with the person who gets the basket. I like to include birch bark from trees I find fallen in the forest, dogwood and willow that I collect along the streams where the deer and elk have been nibbling on them, and interesting driftwood I find along the lake shores. Every now and then I am lucky enough to stumble upon an antler that a deer has shed.
I believe that by surrounding ourselves with the artwork nature provides connects us with our roots and brings a peace to our lives in a modern time.

John W Henry & Co's overall performance picked up last month with six out of eight programs producing positive returns for June.
JWH's biggest winner was its JWH Global Analytics program, which gained 10.13% for the month, while its Dollar program trailed the rest of the portfolio, down 0.9%.
The firm's long-term trend following programs held fast and locked in profits through "market-dislocating events" including terrorism incidents in the U.K. and the meltdown in the U.S. subprime market, penned Kenneth Webster, COO, in his monthly investor letter.
"JWH's systematic approach has profited over the past three months since the equity induced dislocation of financial markets that occurred towards the end of the first quarter, which we suggested might be a precursor for a major shift in market trends," wrote Webster. "While discretionary funds and shorter-term trend-followers may have been forced out of profitable positions due to instability in the market, our clients were rewarded due to our programs' longer-term focus."
However, the firm's solid performance could not offset losses in its total asset under management, which took a nosedive from a previously reported $1.2 billion in May to some $530 million in June because of investor redemptions.
A call made to Webster seeking comments was not returned by press time.

Reductress is the first and only satirical women's magazine, taking on the best and worst of women's media, marketing and consumer culture.
Movie nights are perfect for cuddling up together with some popcorn and a movie. And, let's face it: You're tired, you're comfy, and you haven't really attended to your personal grooming this week. So, here are a few ways to select a movie that'll send the "We're not having sex after this movie" message, loud and clear.
One tip: Holocaust film. Sex after genocide is like orange juice after brushing your teeth. Starving bodies and horrendous loss will have you both saying, "auf Wiedersehen" to any notion of lovemaking. IMPORTANT: Stay away from Sophie's Choice — there are some incredibly steamy scenes that might change his mind in spite of the boner-killing story arc.
Choose something that revolves around a large egg hatching. Whether it's a nature doc or a sci-fi horror, you're guaranteed a hefty amount of goo and fearful procreation, two things that both feature heavily in sex, but rarely incite it.
Anything with Ernest Borgnine. The man has the face of a Chinese New Year's dragon, except with tufts of century-old hair. His goofy grin, untended eyebrows, and ill yodel of a voice will ensure a platonic evening in which sex is the farthest thing from your minds.
Pick a movie that includes the line: "I just fucked my own Dad?!" No examples come immediately to mind, but trust me: mood-killer.
Just watch Red Asphalt. For a surefire sex-stopper, watch Red Asphalt, which is just footage of highway carnage used to scare young drivers into always buckling their seat belts. Sure, it may not exactly be the relaxing evening you had in mind, but you definitely won't be having sex or text while driving after watching this classic.
The Da Vinci Code. We still haven't unraveled the mystery as to why, but for some reason it works. Every. Time.
Follow these easy movie tips and you can eat that whole pint of ice cream and wear those sweatpants straight to bed!
