Before beginning, you may want to use the MD5 sum provided at the VM download page to verify your download. On Mac OS X and *nix systems, you can use the command
md5 learning_puppet_vm.zip and compare the output to the text contents of the
learning_puppet_vm.zip.md5 file provided on the download page. On Windows systems, you will need to download and use a tool such as the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier.
Get an up-to-date version of your virtualization software. We suggest using either VirtualBox or a VMware application appropriate for your platform. VirtualBox is free and available for Linux, OS X, and Windows. VMware has several desktop virtualization applications, including VMWare Fusion for Mac and VMware Workstation for Windows.
The Learning VM's Open Virtualization Archive format must be imported rather than opened directly. Launch your virtualization software and find an option for Import or Import Appliance. (This will usually be in a File menu. If you cannot locate an Import option, please refer to your virtualization software's documentation.)
Before starting the VM for the first time, you will need to adjust its settings. We recommend allocating 4GB of memory for the best performance. If you don't have enough memory on your host machine, you may leave the allocation at 3GB or lower it to 2GB, though you may encounter stability and performance issues. Set the Network Adapter to Bridged. Use an Autodetect setting if available, or accept the default Network Adapter name. (If you started the VM before making these changes, you may need to restart the VM before the settings will be applied correctly.) If you are unable to use a bridged network, we suggest using the port-forwarding instructions provided in the troubleshooting guide.
Start the VM. When it is started, make a note of the IP address and password displayed on the splash page. Rather than logging in directly, we highly recommend using SSH. On OS X, you can use the default Terminal application or a third-party application like iTerm. For Windows, we suggest the free SSH client PuTTY. Connect to the Learning VM with the login
root and password you noted from the splash page. (e.g.
ssh root@<IPADDRESS>) Be aware that it might take several minutes for the services in the PE stack to fully start after the VM boots. Once you're connected to the VM, we suggest updating the clock with
ntpdate pool.ntp.org.
You can access this Quest Guide via a webserver running on the Learning VM itself. Open a web broswer on your host and enter the Learning VM's IP address in the address bar. (Be sure to use
http://<ADDRESS> for the Quest Guide, as
https://<ADDRESS> will take you to the PE console.
For issues with Puppet Enterprise that are not specific to the Learning VM, see the Puppet Enterprise Known Issues page.
The Learning VM version 2.29 has an error in the instructions for this quest. The cowsay package declaration should include
provider => 'gem', rather than
ensure => 'gem'.
If you continue to get puppet run failures related to the gem, you can install the cached version manually:
gem install /var/cache/rubygems/gems/cowsay-0.2.0.gem
The quest tool uses a series of Serverspec tests for each quest to track task progress. Certain tasks simply check your bash history for an entered command. In some cases, the
/root/.bash_history won't be properly initialized, causing these tests to fail. Exiting the VM and logging in again will fix this issue.
It is also possible that we have written the test for a task in a way that is too restrictive and doesn't correctly capture a valid syntactical variation in your Puppet code or another relevant file. You can check the specific matchers by looking at a quest's spec file in the
The Learning VM's Quest Guide is accessible at
http://<VM's IP Address>. Note that this is
http and not
https which is reserved for the PE console. The PE console will prompt you for a password, while no password is required for the Quest Guide. (The Quest Guide includes a password for the PE console in the Power of Puppet quest: admin/puppetlabs)
The password to log in to the VM is generated randomly and will be displayed on the splash page displayed on the terminal of your virtualization software when you start the VM.
If you are already logged in via your virtualization software's terminal, you can use the following command to view the password:
cat /var/local/password.
Possibly, but we don't currently have the resources to test or support the Learning VM on these platforms.
It may take some time after the VM is started before all the Puppet services are fully started. If you recently started or restarted the VM, please wait a few minutes and try to access the console or trigger your puppet run again.
Also, because the Learning VM's puppet services are configured to run in an environment with restricted resources, they are more prone to crashes than a default installation with dedicated resources.
You can check the status of puppet services with the following command:
systemctl --all | grep pe-
If you notice any stopped puppet-related services (e.g. pe-puppetdb), double check that you have sufficient memory allocated to the VM and available on your host before you try starting them (e.g.
service pe-puppetdb start).
If you get an error along the lines of
Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function union... it is likely because the
puppetlabs-stdlib module has not been installed. This module is a dependency for many modules, and provides a set of common functions. If you are running the Learning VM offline, you cannot rely on the Puppet Forge's dependency resolution. We have this module and all other modules required for the Learning VM cached, with instructions to install them in the Power of Puppet quest. If that installation fails, you may try adding the
--force flag after the
--ignore-dependencies flag.
First, ensure that you have an up-to-date version of your virtualization software installed. Note that the "check for updates" feature of VirtualBox may not always work as expected, so check the website for the most recent version.
If your network connection has changed since you loaded the VM, it's possible that your IP address is different from that displayed on the Learning VM splash screen. Log in to the VM via the virtualization directly (rather than SSH) and use the
facter ipaddress command the check the current address.
Some network configurations may still prevent you from accessing the Learning VM. If this is the case, you can still access the Learning VM by configuring port forwarding.
Change your VM's network adapter to NAT, and configure port forwarding as follows:
Name - Protocol - HostIP - HostPort - GuestIP - GuestPort
Once you have set up port forwarding, you can use those ports to access the VM via ssh (
ssh -p 2222 root@localhost) and access the Quest Guide and PE console by entering
http://localhost:8080 and
https://localhost:8443 in your browser address bar.
The Learning VM uses a tool called tmux to allow us to display the quest status. You can scroll in tmux by first hitting control-b, then [ (left bracket). You will then be able to use the arrow keys to scroll. Press q to exit scrolling.
Reduce the VM's processors to 1 and disable the "I/O APIC" option in the system section of the settings menu.

65 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
i got it about 3 years ago, before this i had 4 blenders that last about 2 months each, works great! last long! great product!
I love this blender/food processor. The blender is amazing and even has a self cleaning mode. The food processor shredded carrots so that everyone thought I had done it by hand. You can't ask for a better value for your money.
The metal blade assembly and glass jar plus pwerful motor make a very quiet blender capable of power work.
I have had mine for about 4 weeks and I have really enjoyed it I make my health smoothies every morning and it does a great job the food processer is also great you will really like this product It's been great.
I have this almost 4 years. I use it hard. It handles frozen fruit and ice with ease. There are no chunks of anything left. I like the fact that the jar is glass. It comes with a food processor that I've also used to grind coffee beans. It's dishwasher safe. It is loud, but works well. Nothing gets stuck under the blade. It also looks good on the counter.
My Dad bought this for me as a gift but I hadn't used it because I had a good blender. One day I needed a food processor so I finally opened and used it and I'm so glad I did. I use it constantly now. I love the size and shape of the glass blender container. The food processor is so easy to use and clean and works very well for my needs. I wish it was glass as well though. I love this tool and it's a reasonable price.
The blender is fine, but the food processor has not been designed well. The food processor's lid and blade mate with each other, but the connection is either too loose, or it gets clogged up after chopping a few onions. Also, once you are done chopping and try to pour out the onions, the blade falls out along with the food. You end up wasting more time reassembling the food processor, than on chopping food.
The blender is OK, but not powerful enough to make a smooth paste out of fresh spinach. You need to add plenty of water to get it started even.
I like this product. I bought 5 years ago. Works Well and it is what I need.
This blender came with a food processor add-on, and is just as great as the blender. The blender itself is glass, but the add-on is plastic. I would recommend getting the "to-go" cup add on as well, it's a great value and adds to this set perfectly.
I purchased this product assuming I could grind chutney's well but was disappointed. Does not grind finely for chutney and moreover requires large amount of ingredients in the jar to arrive at fairly grinding consistency. The food processor does not meet my expectations. Would have been good if the food processor jar was glass.
Looks great, look the color. however does not do its job to its full potential. things get stuck under the blade. Does not crush ice. Wouldn't buy this again
The blender's grinding function is terrible. It also cannot puree well. Ultimately it started putting out fumes after 5-10 minutes of blending use.
Mine shipped without the Threaded Bottom Disk...too much of a hassle to pack it up and send it back so I just bought one. I don't understand how the Food Processor Accessory Feed Tube Cover post, Feed Tube, Food pusher and slicer/shredder blade are included with "select models only". Why buy the blender with the food processor included when you don't even get the whole food processor?
We love to make smoothies and with our old blender ( a 30-year-old Oster ) it left small ice chunks before giving out completely. This new one makes smoothies VERY smooth. I can only hope that it lasts half as long as my old one.
This is the first blender I have owned in over 10 years. The last blender I had was one of those $10 jobs and I decided I wanted a smoothie one day and as soon as I tried to crush the ice it imploded and the (plastic) pitcher broke. That is the one reason I purchased this blender is because it has a glass pitcher. I have zero complaints about this blender. It grinds ice like it's nothing and it's super easy to clean (most times I just rinse out the pitcher after every use and then let it air dry). I wish my local Walmart had more Oster products other than blenders.
I returned this product due to hard buttons and one of the button was not working. One of my friend has the same mixer and it works fine. But I had bad luck I think.
I have been using the blender daily since I got it. It works pretty well. Actually, very well. I like to make green smoothies, with spinach or other greens in it. It doesn't blend the greens as much as I would like it to, but overall the blender works great on all of my fruits and other things. I have yet to use the food processor part, but i'm hoping its good!!!
It's near impossible to find anything at Wal-Mart these days that ISN"T made in China. However, this little guy is one of them. It blasts through just about anything I throw at it. Solid metal fitting and a glass carafe are the best features about it.
My Walmart discontinued this item in the store, but lucky for me when I finally decided to buy this appliance I found it on-line. I chose this because it has both a blender and food chopper.
Haven't had this that long, but am very happy with unit.
The food processor part is a 3 cup bpa free plastic with an s blade. The blender jar is glass. My store only had one left in stock. Nice to get two products for the price.

I. The next thing ordered to be made for the furnishing of God's palace was a rich stately candlestick, all of pure gold, not hollow, but solid. The particular directions here given concerning it show, 1. That it was very magnificent, and a great ornament to the place; it had many branches drawn from the main shaft, which had not only their bowls (to put the oil and the kindled wick in) for necessity, but knops and flowers for ornament. 2. That it was very convenient, and admirably contrived both to scatter the light and to keep the tabernacle clean from smoke and snuffs. 3. That it was very significant. The tabernacle had no windows by which to let in the light of the day, all its light was candle-light, which intimates the comparative darkness of that dispensation, while the Sun or righteousness had not as yet risen, nor had the day-star from on high yet visited his church. Yet God left not himself without witness, nor them without instruction; the commandment was a lamp, and the law a light, and the prophets were branches from that lamp, which gave light in their several ages to the Old-Testament church. The church is still dark, as the tabernacle was, in comparison with what it will be in heaven; but the word of God is the candlestick, a light shining in a dark place (2 Pet. 1:19), and a dark place indeed the world would be without it. The Spirit of God, in his various gifts and graces, is compared to the seven lamps which burn before the throne, Rev. 4:5. The churches are golden candlesticks, the lights of the world, holding forth the word of life as the candlestick does the light, Phil. 2:15, 16. Ministers are to light the lamps, and snuff them (Exod. 25:37), by opening the scriptures. The treasure of this light is now put into earthen vessels, 2 Cor. 4:6, 7. The branches of the candlestick spread every way, to denote the diffusing of the light of the gospel into all parts by the Christian ministry, Matt. 5:14, 15. There is a diversity of gifts, but the same Spirit gives to each to profit withal.
II. There is in the midst of these instructions an express caution given to Moses, to take heed of varying from his model: Make them after the pattern shown thee, Exod. 25:40. Nothing was left to his own invention, or the fancy of the workmen, or the people's humour; but the will of God must be religiously observed in every particular. Thus, 1. All God's providences are exactly according to his counsels, and the copy never varies from the original. Infinite Wisdom never changes its measures; whatever is purposed shall undoubtedly be performed. 2. All his ordinances must be administered according to his institutions. Christ's instruction to his disciples (Matt. 28:20) is similar to this: Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.

Hi, This has been asked for before, not just by me. I'll ask again :-) We have 3 possible types of MetaData files in JDO2. "jdo" (which has jdo.dtd for validation) "orm" (which has orm.dtd for validation) "jdoquery" (which has nothing for validation) There is currently a TCK test that uses jdoquery and it has elements <jdo> and is marked as being validated by jdo.dtd. This means that the user could add all sorts of "jdo" information to this file and validation will not object to it. We need a "jdoquery.dtd" and all jdoquery files should be validated by it. Attached is jdoquery.dtd -- Andy

ABSTRACT Observation of surgical personnel in four specialties (cardiothoracic, general, gynecologic, and orthopedic) in the operating room was performed prior to implementation of an educational intervention designed to improve compliance with Universal Precautions and at 1‐ and 2‐years post‐intervention. Use of protective eyewear and double gloving increased following the intervention, whereas the incidence of documented blood and body fluid exposures decreased.

|Brakes (was: [control flow] changes and new sample)
|Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:48:35 GMT
Hello, As I was pointed by a friend to the previous thread, I noticed a proposal to prototype Brakes, which I have been working on a time ago. This is not a commercial message, but a status report of the technology. Brakes consists of two parts: - A bytecode transformer adds bytecode after every method start, and before every method call. The bytecode before each method call makes sure the control flow of the executing thread gets saved. The bytecode at the start of each method checks the state of the thread, and acts upon that (normal/saving/restoring) - A small experimental framework which serves as a starting point for a thread, a place in which the control flow gets saved, and the point from which the control flow gets restored. The research on brakes is being discontinued, partly because too few people worked on it, partly because we (I) didn't had the nerve to get this project into a more serious prototype stage. The code however exists, and is usuable to certain extent. The biggest problem is the bytecode transformer. This is a huge piece of work by Bert Robben, a member of our research group who left four years ago. We suspect he is the only one with full understanding about the transformer. A positive thing is that the transformer is based on BCEL (the bytecode engineering library) by Markus Dahm. (During that time named JavaClass). BCEL is still under development, now under the wings of Jakarta http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel/ I am pretty sure that much of the 'difficult' functionality in the transformer is now handled within the BCEL. So a rewrite of the transformer /should/ be feasible. The framework part is of course something that should be redesigned to fit on Cocoon. The past weeks, I have been looking again at BCEL, and have been gathering ideas about how to redesign the bytecode transformer. When you are serious about using Brakes in Cocoon, I am of course willing to devote a great deal of time in helping with the transformer and the framework's integration in Cocoon. About licensing: because Brakes was abandoned so early, it is covered under the same proprietary license as it's parent project, Correlate http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~distrinet/projects/CORRELATE/ However, (again when you are serious about using brakes into Cocoon) it will be possible to decouple Brakes from Correlate and embed the subproject (Brakes) into Cocoon, or at least release it seperately under the APL. Oh, I am new to this list, so forgive me if I broke some rules. Anyhow, let's hear what you think -- Tim Coninx -*- KULeuven Department of Computer Science http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/cwis/research/distrinet/public/index.php gpgkey @ http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~tim/ ICMP: The protocol that goes PING! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, email: email@example.com

How I (and you?) am hurting the PC industry
Starting in 1977 I bought a new personal computer every three years. This changed after 2010 when I was 33 years and eleven computers into the trend. That's when I bought my current machine, a mid-2010 13-inch MacBook Pro. Five years later I have no immediate plans to replace the MacBook Pro and I think that goes a long way to explain why the PC industry is having sales problems.
My rationale for changing computers over the years came down to Moore's Law. I theorized that if computer performance was going to double every 18 months, I couldn't afford to be more than one generation behind the state-of-the-art if I wanted to be taken seriously writing about this stuff. That meant buying a new PC every three years. And since you and I have a lot in common and there are millions of people like us, the PC industry thrived.
Who is your IT outsourcing firm working for?
While the US Government has been remarkably opaque about the recently discovered security breach at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), we know that personal information on at least 21.5 million present, former, and prospective federal employees was lost. The Feds claim Chinese hackers are at the bottom of it, which is disputed by the Chinese government. This, to me, raises a number of questions, especially about the possible role of IT outsourcing firms and implications for organizations beyond OPM. Does IT outsourcing make your data more vulnerable? Yes, I believe it does.
It's easy to blame the Office of Personnel Management for its own troubles. Oversight was lax. The agency failed a security audit and didn't seem to do much in response. When shit hit the fan and it became clear that the identity of almost every living person associated in any way with Federal employment had been compromised, the agency lamely offered 18 months of identity theft screening but then didn't have the money to pay for it. Pathetic. Both the Obama Administration and Congress are to blame, the former for mismanagement and the latter for "starving the beast" by limiting the OPM budget, pushing the agency toward cost-saving decisions that at least to some extent led to the current crisis.
IBM is so screwed
I've been working on a big column or two about the Office of Personnel Management hack while at the same time helping my boys with their Kickstarter campaign to be announced in another 10 days, but then IBM had to go yesterday and announce earnings and I just couldn't help myself. I had to put that announcement in the context you'll see in the headline above. IBM is so screwed.
Below you'll see the news spelled-out in red annotations right on IBM's own slides. The details are mainly there but before you read them I want to make three points.
Remember when technology was exciting?
Al Mandel used to say "the step after ubiquity is invisibility" and man was he right about that. Above you'll see a chart from the Google Computers and Electronics Index, which shows the ranking of queries using words like "Windows, Apple, HP, Xbox, iPad" -- you get the picture. The actual terms have changed a bit since the index started in 2004 as products and companies have come and gone, but my point here is the general decline.
Just as Al predicted, as technology has become more vital to our lives we've paradoxically become less interested, or at least do less reaching out. Maybe this is because technologies become easier to use over time or we have more local knowledge (our kids and co-workers helping us do things we might have had to search on before).
The US computer industry is dying and I'll tell you exactly who is killing it and why
This is my promised third column in a series about the effect of H-1B visa abuse on US technology workers and ultimately on the US economy. This time I want to take a very high-level view of the problem that may not even mention words like "H-1B" or even "immigration", replacing them with stronger Anglo-Saxon terms like "greed" and "indifference".
The truth is that much (but not all) of the American technology industry is being led by what my late mother would have called "assholes". And those assholes are needlessly destroying the very industry that made them rich. It started in the 1970s when a couple of obscure academics created a creaky logical structure for turning corporate executives from managers to rock stars, all in the name of "maximizing shareholder value".
The H-1B visa program is a scam
This is the second of three columns relating to the recent story of Disney replacing 250 IT workers with foreign workers holding H-1B visas. Over the years I have written many columns about outsourcing (here) and the H-1B visa program in particular (here). Not wanting to just cover again that old material, this column looks at an important misconception that underlies the whole H-1B problem, then gives the unique view of a longtime reader of this column who has H-1B program experience.
First the misconception as laid out in a blog post shared with me by a reader. This blogger maintains that we wouldn't be so bound to H-1Bs if we had better technical training programs in our schools. This is a popular theme with every recent Presidential administration and, while not explicitly incorrect, it isn't implicitly correct, either. Schools can always be better but better schools aren't necessarily limiting U.S. technical employment.
Disney's IT troubles go beyond H-1Bs
Disney has been in the news recently for firing its Orlando-based IT staff, replacing them with H-1B workers primarily from India, and making severance payments to those displaced workers dependent on the outgoing workers training their foreign replacements. I regret not jumping on this story earlier because I heard about it back in March, but an IT friend in Orlando (not from Disney) said it was old news so I didn't follow-up. Well now I am following with what will eventually be three columns not just about this particular event but what it says about the US computer industry, which is not good.
First we need some context for this Disney event -- context that has not been provided in any of the accounts I have read so far. What we're observing is a multi-step process.
Autodesk's John Walker explained HP and IBM in 1991
One reader of this column in particular has been urging me to abandon for a moment my obsession with IBM and look, instead, at his employer -- Hewlett Packard. HP, he tells me, suffers from all the same problems as IBM while lacking IBM's depth and resources. And he's correct: HP is a shadow of its former self and probably doomed if it continues to follow its current course. I've explained some of this before in an earlier column, and another, and another you might want to re-read. More of HP's problems are covered in a very fine presentation you can read here. Were I to follow a familiar path at this point I'd be laying out a long list of HP mistakes. And while I may well do exactly that later in the week, right here and now I am inspired to do what they call in the movies "cutting to the chase", which in this case means pushing through bad tactics to find a good strategy. I want to lay out in a structural sense what's really happening at both HP and IBM (and at a lot of other companies, too) so we can understand how to fix them, if indeed they can be fixed at all.
So I'll turn to the works of Autodesk founder John Walker, specifically his Final Days of Autodesk memo, also called Information Letter 14, written in 1991. You can find this 30-page memo and a whole lot more at Walker's web site. He has for most of this century lived in Switzerland where the server resides in a fortress today. We may even hear from Walker, himself, if word gets back that I've too brazenly stolen his ideas. Having never met the man, I'd like that.
Apple TV's 4K Future
On June 8th at the Apple World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), CEO Tim Cook will reportedly introduce a new and improved Apple TV. For those who live under rocks this doesn't mean a television made by Apple but rather a new version of the Apple TV set top box that 25 million people have bought to download and stream video from the Internet. But this new Apple TV -- the first Apple TV hardware update in three years -- will not, we're told, support 3840-by-2160 UHD (popularly called 4K) video and will be limited to plain old 1920-by-1080 HD. Can this be true? Well, yes and no. The new Apple TV will be 4K capable, but not 4K enabled. This distinction is critical to understanding what's really happening with Apple and television.
First we need to understand Apple's big number problem. This is a problem faced by many segment-leading companies as they become enormous and rich. The bigger these companies get the harder it is to find new business categories worth entering. Most companies, as they enter new market segments with new products, hope those products come to represent at least five percent of their company's gross revenue over time. The iPhone, for example, now drives more than 60 percent of Apple's revenue. Well the Apple TV has been around now for a decade and has yet to approach that five percent threshold, which is why they've referred to the Apple TV since its beginning as a hobby.
Sadie's Apple Watch arrived two weeks early
This is Sadie the Dog wearing her new Apple Watch. The watch actually belongs to my young and lovely wife, Mary Alyce, but she was unwilling to be photographed this morning while Sadie will pose anytime, anywhere. This is the Sport model of the Apple Watch in space gray with a black band. What makes this picture interesting is the watch was delivered last Friday two weeks early.
I ordered the watch on the first day Apple was taking orders but didn't do so in the middle of the night so I missed the first batch of watches that were delivered in April. It was promised for delivery June first. Since then there have been stories about faulty sensors and other suggestions that watch deliveries might be later than expected -- stories that I'd say are belied by this early delivery.
The Kickstarter paradox
Among the great business innovations of the Internet era are Kickstarter and the many similar crowdfunding sites like IndieGoGo. You know how these work: someone wants to introduce a new gizmo or make a film but can only do so if you and I pay in advance with our only rewards being a possible discount on the gizmo or DVD. Oh, and a t-shirt. Never before was there a way to get people -- sometimes thousands of people -- to pay for stuff not only before it was built but often before the inventors even knew how to build it. From the Pebble smart watch to Veronica Mars, crowdfunding success stories are legion and crowdfunding failures quickly forgotten. I've been thinking a lot about crowdfunding because my boys are talking about doing a campaign this summer and I have even considered doing one myself. But it's hardly a no-brainer, because a failed campaign can ruin your day and damage your career.
From the outside looking-in a typical Kickstarter or IndieGoGo campaign is based on the creator (in this case someone like me, not God) having a good idea but no money. If the campaign is successful this creator not only gets money to do his or her project, they get validation that there's actually a market -- that it's a business worth doing. About 80 percent of crowdfunding campaigns come about this way.
Your PBX has been hacked!
This past week a very large corporation on the east coast was hacked in what seems to naive old me to be a new way -- through its corporate phone system. Then one night during the same week I got a call from my bank saying my account had been compromised and to press #4 to talk to its security department. My account was fine: it was a telephone-based phishing expedition. Our phone network has been compromised, folks, and nobody with a phone is safe.
Edward Snowden was right we're not secure, though this time I don't think the National Security Agency is involved.
AWS shows cloud is NOT a high-margin business
Last week Amazon.com was the first of the large cloud service companies other than Rackspace to finally break out revenue and expenses for its cloud operation. The market was cheered by news that Amazon Web Services (AWS) last quarter made an operating profit of $265 million with an operating profit margin of 19.6 percent. AWS, which many thought was running at break-even or possibly at a loss, turns out to be for Amazon a $5 billion business generating a third of the company's total profits. That's good, right? Not if it establishes a benchmark for typical-to-good cloud service provider performance. In fact it suggests that some companies -- IBM especially -- are going to have a very difficult time finding success in the cloud.
First let's look at the Amazon numbers and define a couple terms. The company announced total AWS sales, operating profit, and operating profit margins for the last four quarters. Sales are, well, sales, while operating profit is supposed to be sales minus all expenses except interest and taxes (called EBIT -- Earnings Before Interest and Taxes). Amazon does pay interest on debt, though it pays very little in taxes. Since tax rates, especially, vary a lot from country to country, EBIT is used to help normalize operating results for comparing one multinational business with another.
Where the money is… or was
Yesterday was Tax Day in the United States, when we file our federal income tax returns. This has been an odd tax season in America for reasons that aren't at all clear, but I am developing a theory that cybersecurity failures may shortly bring certain aspects of the U.S. economy to its knees.
I have been writing about data security and hacking and malware and identity theft since the late 1990s. It is a raft of problems that taken together amount to tens of billions of dollars each year in lost funds, defensive IT spending, and law enforcement expenditures. Now with a 2014 U.S. Gross Domestic Product of $17.42 trillion, a few tens of billions are an annoyance at most. Say the total hit is $50 billion per year, well that's just under three tenths of one percent. If the hit is $100 billion that's still under one percent. These kinds of numbers are why we tolerate such crimes.
The Net Neutrality mystery
My friend Andy Regitsky, whom I have known for more than 30 years, follows the FCC, blogs about them, and teaches courses on -- among other things -- how to read and understand their confusing orders. Andy knows more about the FCC than most of the people who work there and Andy says the new Net Neutrality order will probably not stand. I wonder if it was even meant to?
You can read Andy's post here. He doesn't specifically disagree with my analysis from a few days ago, but goes further to show some very specific legal and procedural problems with the order that could lead to it being killed in court or made moot by new legislation. It's compelling: Andy is probably right.

|Turnover tale: Celtics drop Game 1 to Knicks
|04.20.13 at 5:32 pm ET
NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony was just too much.
Anthony scored a game-high 36 points while J.R. Smith added 15 as the Knicks beat the Celtics, 85-78, Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series.
Jeff Green started out hot but scored just six points in the second half and finished with 26 while Paul Pierce added 20 for the Celtics, who committed 21 turnovers in falling down 1-0 in the series.
The Celtics scored just 25 points in the second half, including just eight in the fourth quarter. They had three more turnovers (10) in the second half than field goals (7).
After the Celtics scored the first four points of the game, the Knicks went on a 12-2 run as Anthony started off on fire. He hit a pair of threes and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field, scoring 10 points in the opening four minutes of the game. But the Celtics responded and quieted the crowd for the rest of the quarter, taking a 29-26 lead after one as Green drilled a three at the buzzer.
The Celtics turned up the defensive pressure on Anthony and the Knicks in the second quarter as Anthony missed nine of his next 11 shots from the floor. Coach Doc Rivers, meanwhile, took Green off Anthony defensively, allowing him to get into an offensive rhythm. The result was immediately felt. He scored 12 of his 20 first-half points in the second quarter as the Celtics took a 53-49 halftime lead. Green was on fire in the first half, going 7-of-10 from the field. Avery Bradley (11) and Paul Pierce (10, six assists) were the only other in double figures in the first 24 minutes.
The Knicks scored the first five points of the third quarter to regain the lead but the Celtics used an 11-1 run late in the third quarter to built their biggest lead, 70-63, capped off when Pierce hit a long pull-up three.
Kevin Garnett's turnaround over Kenyon Martin with just over eight minutes left tied the game, 72-72. Anthony responded on the next possession to give the Knicks the lead again.
Anthony hit a jumper over Green to put the Knicks up four, 76-72, before Pierce responded with a tough jumper with 6:03 left. But then, in a pivotal moment of the game, J.R. Smith drove to the basket and converted a layup with 5:44 left and drew the fifth foul on Kevin Garnett.
Pierce hit a jumper with 4:34 to close Boston within three, 79-76. But on consecutive possessions the Knicks missed open looks at threes and the Celtics were unable to execute offensively. Anthony's layup with 2:31 left put New York up, 81-76.
Smith had a key steal of an Bradley pass to Pierce with just under four minutes left but Raymond Felton missed a wide-open three. Pierce missed a three that would have tied the game with just over three minutes left. Anthony hit a long two-point jumper over Green with 1:21 left to give the Knicks an 83-76 lead.
Game 2 is Tuesday night back at Madison Square Garden at 8 p.m. before the series shifts back to Boston next Friday. For complete coverage from Madison Square Garden, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Doc Rivers: Kevin Garnett has 'no limitations' while the bench is a great unknown
|04.20.13 at 4:46 pm ET
NEW YORK — Doc Rivers is fully confident that Kevin Garnett is at full strength as the playoffs begin in New York.
"Kevin is great," Rivers reassured everyone when asked about the physical well being of his 36-year-old big man. "No limitations. Kevin is fine."
What the playoffs also mean is the no more five-minute in-out rotations for Garnett and no more worries about playing him 25-30 minutes a game.
"That's nice," Rivers said of the change. "The five-minute rotation thing with Kevin, you do it because you have to get through the season but it's horrendous. Teams were game-planning against it. It got to a silly point at times. Kevin would come out and teams would bring in their big back in and we knew we couldn't bring him back in. That's gone now. It's basketball. We still want to limit his minutes, 40 [laughs] or 35 but not this set rotation of minutes for him. And that makes it so much more difficult to game plan against our second unit.
"Rotations are easy when you can play the better player more minutes. That's not hard. It's when everybody is even and you're trying to figure out who to play. I'll have no problem playing Kevin more minutes. I think that's easy. And honestly, I'll have no problem playing someone else less if Kevin can play more so that's not a problem at all."
What remains to be seen is how the bench adjusts over the course of a seven-game series. Jordan Crawford and Jason Terry were the first of the bench Saturday and then Courtney Lee was on the floor as the second quarter began, playing with Terry and Crawford, as Rivers went with a very small lineup.
"I don't know, honestly," Rivers said when asked what he's expecting from his role players in crunch time. "We clearly want to shorten our bench but I think in this case, because we have so many guys who are almost equal, it's going be short but it's going to be different guys [coming off bench in rotation].
"You just prepare them in what you have to do as a team. They're going to hear advice from the rest of the guys, Kevin, Paul, JET and at the end of the day, they probably throw most of it out and you go out and play in the game. After Game 1, I'm sure some of the guys are going to find something out and as a coach, I'm just hoping what they find out is really good. But even if they find out something really bad, you hope they can learn from it and move on from it. I try not to overdo it. There's guys who I don't know how they'll be in this atmosphere and I'll find that out, too."
Is there a concern some might be overwhelmed?
"You can never sense that," Rivers said. "You have to wait until the game is played. Guys have horrendous week of practice and you're on them all week to learn sets and then they get into games and all of sudden it clicks and I've seen just the exact opposite. You just don't know."
|Doc Rivers: 'Emotionally, it could go either way'
|04.20.13 at 2:47 pm ET
NEW YORK — Doc Rivers admitted before Game 1 Saturday that his team didn't have the best of practices on Friday at Columbia University, on the eve of the team's first postseason game this year.
He also was very understanding of the players wanting to follow the events going on 200 miles away in Boston.
"[Friday] was a strange day," Rivers said. "You're going to practice and you hear guys on the phone and literally everyone is calling home, yelling or you could hear them saying, 'Stay in the house!' And we're going to practice and I even told our staff, we're going to make a lot of mistakes in practice today. There's no way their focus is where it should be. And you felt that going into practice. And, honestly, we were right, practice played out that way.
"So I don't know. Thank gosh it's over, in that regards. It was good to see everybody in the city happy, hugging and rejoicing. And I'm sure our players had a chance to exhale, because their families are still back there. [Rajon Rondo] was supposed to join us yesterday, and he couldn't even get out. He was locked in and had to stay in himself. What does that do for us today, I have no idea? I think, emotionally, it could go either way."
Rivers and his staff are ready to handle the situation, good or bad, during the course of the game.
"Hopefully we can figure out a way, if it's not going the right way, to gather them right and get it back," Rivers said. "Thank gosh it's a four-quarter game because I'm always worried about any team, even if it wasn't for this, being too emotionally high at the beginning of a game. Because you still have to finish the game. We'll see."
Speaking of Rondo, after being locked down on Friday, the injured point guard made his way down to the Big Apple on Saturday and is with the team for the start of the playoffs. Rivers definitely likes him around the team.
"I want him around," Rivers said. "He's a good mind. He's a great, great mind. And he knows the game. He's a smart kid. People have no idea his IQ, they really don't. It's funny right now, even after our shootaround, he's into it."
With Pablo Prigioni [sprained ankle] is out for the Knicks, Chris Copeland moves into the staring lineup. The Knicks will go with a starting backcourt of Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert, to go along with Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.
|Doc Rivers: 'You're angry when you think about it because you love your city'
|04.16.13 at 12:08 pm ET
WALTHAM — Instead of playing a game Tuesday night, the Celtics held practice and reacted to Monday's Boston Marathon tragedy.
Among those most affected was Jeff Green. The Celtics player, like his coach, live in Boston and very close to the epicenter of Monday's two explosions on Boylston Street near the finish line.
Green said before Tuesday's practice that he understood completely the NBA's decision to cancel Tuesday's home game against the Pacers at the Garden.
"Everybody has got to be safe," Green said. "I think it was right to cancel the game out of respect for the families affected."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers also lives in the Back Bay. He was headed into Boston after Monday's practice in Waltham to watch the Marathon. He said
"I always go down after practice and watch [the Boston Marathon]. I was on my way," Rivers said. "I had gotten out of the [Prudential] tunnel when the bomb exploded.
"I thought the spirit of Boston was incredible last night. If you're part of the city, this country, it's going to be on your mind. This city has an amazing amount spirit. You're angry, too, when you think about it because you love your city. That bothers you."
The game against the Pacers was canceled and will not be rescheduled. The Celtics will finish their 81-game schedule on Wednesday night in Toronto and then open the first round of the playoffs this weekend in New York's Madison Square Garden against the Knicks.
|NBA cancels Celtics-Pacers Tuesday night at the Garden, will not be re-scheduled
|04.15.13 at 8:46 pm ET
The Celtics are the latest Boston team to announce they are canceling an event due to the Boston Marathon tragedy Monday afternoon.
The NBA issued the following release Monday night:
The National Basketball Association game scheduled for Tuesday, April 16 between the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics at TD Garden has been canceled. The game will not be rescheduled.
The NBA expresses its sympathy to all those affected by the tragedy in Boston earlier today.
This means that the Celtics will play an 81-game schedule and their season will conclude Wednesday night in Toronto against the Raptors before they open the playoffs this weekend in New York at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks.
|Three for all: Hot Heat beat short-handed Celtics, Jeff Green bruises left elbow
|04.12.13 at 9:54 pm ET
Miami shot 12-for-23 from 3-point range, led by three each from Ray Allen, Norris Cole, Mario Chalmers and Rashard Lewis, as the Heat beat the short-handed Celtics, 109-101, Friday night at American Airlines Arena.
The Celtics, who rested Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, suffered a scare in the fourth quarter when Jeff Green injured his left elbow bracing his fall after a dunk. He was diagnosed with a bruised left elbow and did not return.
"I don't think it's that bad, I honestly don't," Doc Rivers said after the game. "We'll know more [Saturday]. He has an ice pack on it."
Before the injury, Green led the Celtics with 25 points and eight rebounds. Jordan Crawford chipped in with 20 points for the Celtics, who fell to 40-39.
With Milwaukee losing in Atlanta, Boston needs one more win to clinch seventh, and will be assured of not finishing eighth and will avoid the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. But now, the Celtics will have practically no chance of catching the Hawks for sixth, as the Celtics trail Atlanta by three games in the loss column with three games remaining. Boston won the season series with the Hawks, 3-1.
Without Pierce and Garnett, Rivers went with a small starting lineup featuring Avery Bradley, Jordan Crawford, Courtney Lee, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass.
The Heat, on the other hand, played with their full compliment of starters, including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, resting only Shane Battier and Udonis Haslem.
And behind the aggressive play of Green, the Celtics shot out to a red-hot start. Green was 4-for-5 from the field, with three drives to the basket for layups. He finished the first quarter with eight points and six rebounds as the Celtics led 25-13. Boston shot 50 percent and led 27-17 after 12 minutes.
But the second quarter was a defensive disaster for Boston as Miami's bench took over. The Heat shot an amazing 16-of-19 from the field, led by a bench powered by the 3-point shooting of Ray Allen. With Boston leading 34-23, Allen converted a layup with 9:23 left in the second. The layup was the first of eight straight points for Allen, who hit back-to-back threes to spark an 11-0 run that tied the game. Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc Rivers: 'Obviously, we want to play Miami' just not early in playoffs
|04.11.13 at 12:15 am ET
Five days earlier, after a loss to the Cavaliers at TD Garden, Doc Rivers said, "Of course we would… I'm not that dumb" when asked if the Celtics would like to avoid the defending champs who have raced through the NBA this season, on the way to the league's best mark.
But after Wednesday's loss to the Nets, he made a clarifying statement when informed that Milwaukee lost, reducing Boston's magic number to 1 for clinching seventh-seed and not finishing eighth, which would result in a first-round meeting with Miami.
'That's good," Rivers said. "Obviously, we want to play Miami. We do. We just would not like to play them early. I mean, we would love to avoid Miami in the first round and then play them; that would mean we're doing very well. So, we clearly want to play Miami. We just want to delay it a little bit if we can.'
Now that it appears all but certain the Celtics (40-38) will finish in seventh place in the Eastern conference, they will likely draw the Knicks in the first round. The Celtics playoff spot was all but locked in at seventh Wednesday night when they lost to the Brooklyn Nets at home but the Milwaukee Bucks (37-41) also lost on the road in Orlando. The Bucks and Celtics each have four games remaining.
Atlanta (44-36) moved two games ahead of Boston in the loss column for sixth place with a win in Philadelphia.

Pre-accession assistance for the Western Balkans, Iceland and Turkey, 6-7 December 2010
The European Commission, in cooperation with the World Bank, is hosting a conference in Brussels on 6-7 December 2010 to discuss how the Instrument for pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) can be improved to have the most positive impact on the progress of the Western Balkans, Turkey and Iceland towards the European Union. "IPA offers you an excellent training ground for the management of the future, and much larger, funds that you will receive once you join the EU. [...] We need you to join the EU in full confidence of your capacity to shape not only the fate of your country, but also the future of the EU", stated Commissioner Füle on 6 December addressing the participants of the conference.
The conference will also outline the post crisis difficulties faced by candidate countries and potential candidates and explore how deeper partnerships between the EU, the European financial institutions and the World Bank can help them meet these challenges.

Lewis Hamilton has praised the impact of father Anthony in helping him become Formula One world champion.
Anthony has been the one constant in Lewis' life since he started out on the road to title glory at the age of eight in karting.
Supporting what began as a hobby, despite financial hardship, Anthony played not only the fatherly role, but was also an advisor and mentor, even a mechanic as he also repaired the karts.
As Lewis then worked his way through the various categories and ultimately into F1 with McLaren, Anthony has remained by his side, and now also serves as his manager.
When asked as to what his dad had meant to him over the years en route to becoming champion, it was not an easy question for him to answer as Anthony was stood just a few feet away.
With emotion in his voice, he initially replied: "He's been an inspiration, positive in many ways."
After a pause, Hamilton then broke the ice as he joked: "But he's a dad, a pain in the arse sometimes as well!"
