Under the contract, General Dynamics Information Technology will provide engineering, procurement, assembly and factory testing services in Qatar. In addition, the company will participate in field activities associated with the construction of the Pearl GTL plant in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar, that include installation supervision, site acceptance testing, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up activities and technical assistance.
In July 2006, Qatar Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell plc announced the launch of the world-scale integrated Pearl GTL Project in Qatar. Upstream, Pearl GTL will produce, transport and process some 1.6 billion cubic feet of wellhead gas per day to produce 120,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and ethane. Downstream dry gas will be used as feedstock to produce 140,000 barrels per day of clean, high quality GTL fuels and products. Pearl GTL is not only the world's largest integrated GTL project, but also the largest energy project ever launched within the borders of Qatar.
"Gas-to-Liquids represents cutting-edge technology capable of converting natural gas into valuable clean products for use as fuels or chemical feedstock," said Ed Hudson, senior vice president of Global Information Services for General Dynamics Information Technology. "General Dynamics Information Technology is pleased to expand upon our previous success in the oil and gas marketplace with the Pearl GTL project."
This award builds upon General Dynamics Information Technology's experience in the oil and gas sector. The company has provided similar telecommunications, information technology and security systems integration services for oil and gas projects in Qatar, Oman, Algeria, Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Italy.
General Dynamics Information Technology provides information technology (IT), systems engineering and professional services to customers in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, federal civil, international and commercial sectors. With 16,000 professionals worldwide, the company manages large-scale, mission-critical IT programs delivering IT services and enterprise solutions.
General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs approximately 82,900 people worldwide and anticipates 2007 revenues of more than $27 billion.

Temple product Rod Streater is quite a catch for Raiders
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Rod Streater spent last December preparing with Temple for the New Mexico Bowl, what he believed would be the final football game of his career.
With only 19 catches as a senior, Streater understandably drew little notice from NFL scouts and was resigned to pursuing a career with his degree in communications and public relations.
Just a year later, Streater is proving he belongs in the NFL as he has become a trusted target for Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer and a key part of the Raiders' future.
"It's a crazy feeling," he said. "I thought football was over for me. I was just looking at getting a job. Then you come here and the game's on your hands. It's a lot of pressure and then it's not. It's what you prepare for. It's what you want to do as a kid growing up. It's a good feeling."
Streater is tied for sixth among all rookie wide receivers with 28 catches and has 429 yards receiving and three touchdowns. After hitting the proverbial rookie wall near Thanksgiving when he fell behind fellow rookie Juron Criner on the depth chart, Streater has gotten a second wind and put together his two most productive games the past two weeks.
"That's part of being a rookie," coach Dennis Allen said. "It's a little bit of a roller-coaster ride, and you have some ups and downs. Criner was getting a little bit more playing time and he (Streater) was getting a little bit less playing time, and then he got the opportunity and made a few plays. That's what it's all about. When you make plays you play a lot more."
Streater bounced back from a zero-catch performance in Cincinnati Nov. 25 to catch three balls for 96 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland the following week. Then on national television last Thursday night against Denver, Streater had four catches for a career-high 100 yards.
"I feel like I'm improving each week," he said. "No matter what it is I always want to get better. Next week I'll try to go better than 100. I just try to get better."
Streater acknowledged that succeeding in the NFL takes much more work than he was used to putting in during college. He credits his improved play on the field to more work off it that has helped him better recognize coverages.

HP decides to hold off on ARM-based Windows tablets for now
The tablets will be available with Windows RT running on ARM based processors and Windows 8 running on Intel's x86 chips. The lack of Windows RT models from HP off the bat reduces the number of such models available. As it is, Microsoft has limited the availability of Windows RT to ensure that a smaller number of high quality ARM based tablets will be available at launch. The cost of the license to use Microsoft Windows RT also will limit the number of ARM based tablets. Somsak says that the first HP Windows 8 tablets will be focused on the business market.

I bet HP is still recovering from the extreme failure of the HP WebOS tablet. They are nervous about those "finicky" SoCs. I just hope this isn't a bad decision for them.

You know Apple is taking over the world with their tabs and here it is these loser PC oems are upset and worried about MS's Surface. You know at least MS came up with a product that has quality written all over it, while the oems make cheap plastic stuff sold at high prices.

You definitely have a point in respect to the other OEMs. They most likely would have released some less attractive cheaper products. This is why what MS did was brilliant. It will hopefully force other OEMs to be inventive and produce some high quality devices. Because unlike Nokia and HTC all other OEMs have been thus far luke warm to jump on board the new Windows applications. Time will tell if MS made the right move and if the other OEMs will really embrace the new Windows aka Metro.

In the National Review, Byron York has an article called "Clinton Claimed Authority to Order No-Warrant Searches." In it, he cites then-Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick's July 14, 1994 testimony where she argues "the President has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes." (This afternoon, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) quoted her testimony on the Senate floor.)
Here is what York obscures: at the time of Gorelick's testimony, physical searches weren't covered under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It's not surprising that, in 1994, Gorelick argued that physical searches weren't covered by FISA. They weren't. With Clinton's backing, the law was amended in 1995 to include physical searches.
York claims that, after the law was amended, "the Clinton administration did not back down from its contention that the president had the authority to act when necessary." That's false. Neither Gorelick or the Clinton administration ever argued that president's inherent "authority" allowed him to ignore FISA. (We've posted the full text of Gorelick's testimony here).
The Clinton administration viewed FISA, a criminal statute, as the law. The Bush administration viewed it as a recommendations they could ignore. That's the difference.

As another busy football transfer window draws to a close, fans at both ends of the spectrum have had plentiful reminders of the huge spending required to succeed in the modern game.
What only very few people seem to be asking, though, is "what's in it for the owners?" After all, on-the-field success doesn't often produce a big enough profit to cover wages and other expenditure.
With the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all spending big again this year - and with those all important Financial Fair Play rules soon coming into effect - here are my views on each club's chances of making a profit in the near future.
Choose your team from the list below or click through the slide show to see the 'profit ratings' for each Premier League side in alphabetical order.
'Profit likelihood' ratings: 1-2=Extremely unlikely; 3-4=Unlikely; 5-6=Probably break-even; 7-8=Good chance of profit; 9-10=Certain profit

Joseph Stanton, Jr. (July 19, 1739 – 1807) was an American politician of the Anti-Federalist faction.
Stanton was born in Charlestown, Rhode Island in 1739. He served in the state legislature from 1768 to 1774.
During the American Revolutionary War, he was a colonel in the Rhode Island State Regiment (aka. Stanton's Regiment) from December 12, 1776 until his resignation on November 10, 1777. After the war, he served as a general in the Rhode Island Militia.
He was a delegate to the Rhode Island Constitutional Convention in 1790, which ratified the United States Constitution and enabled Rhode Island to be the last of the 13 colonies to join the Union.
He was elected by the Rhode Island General Assembly to serve as a U.S. Senator and served from June 7, 1790 to March 3, 1793. He was later elected to the United States House of Representatives, where he served from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1807.
Stanton died later in 1807 in his home town of Charlestown.

People will get the power to own and run local services including council housing and SureStart centres, under Labour's "mutual manifesto" plans to be outlined today.
A survey of 758 leaflets produced by the three main parties has shown that Gordon Brown was only featured on 12% of Labour posters, and notably has been excluded by Yvette Cooper, Tessa Jowell, and Sadiq Khan.
Former ministers and key aides have criticised Gordon Brown's time as prime minister, saying it was frustrating and decisions were not made quickly enough, in the Radio 4 series The Brown Years. Alan Johnson has admitted that at times "there were big problems over at Number 10" and the former head of the Number 10 Policy Unit has said "there was a year which was frankly awful".

Early last week Oliver Kay of the London Times broke what was claimed to be an exclusive story.
Kay claimed that Qatar was planning to launch a 24-team soccer tournament to be hosted by six cities in the Gulf States. The inaugural competition would be held in 2015 and then every two years after.
Participation in the "Dream Football League" (DFL) was to consist of sixteen "permanent" clubs with a further eight teams to be added through invitation. The permanent representatives would be the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona and these clubs would receive up to… to read more please click on the link.

Everything is quicker these days. And everyone wants to be the quickest. We don't have time to digest convoluted things like statements, paragraphs, chapters. We're looking for the gist. The headline. The byte.
If it fits within 140 characters, perfect. But just one tweet, please. Anymore and we've lost interest, to be honest. It's our own fault. We have kids and mortgages and our salaries have been cut. We're in negative equity. We've just done sixty hours this week with no overtime being paid. We've got to call around to the in-laws and are literally racing out the door right now. We've got about thirty seconds. Maybe forty. Hang on. The youngest has fallen over and cut her chin. We've literally got about 20 seconds now. So whatever you've got to tell us, tell us right now. Seriously.
Okay. There's been match-fixing. Lots of it. So much of it that there's been an investigation. Some Champions League games were fixed, one that was played in England, we think. World Cup qualifiers too. And it threatens the very fabric of the game.
Well, not really. That's the gist.
Wow. That sounds serious. Really serious. Champions League, World Cup. What have the football authorities said about this?
Well, eh, we're going to write to them and let them know that they should heed the, eh, warning. But did you not hear me? Match-fixing! In the Champions League!
Yes! So what games?
We can't tell you. But they were big ones. We think.
According to Europol, the deep-rooted character of football is stained by these recent developments. Professionals have cheated for money. They've dirtied the once-clear, pure waters of the beautiful game. But it's just another byte. Just another gist. It did its duty. It filled some space for a few minutes, got people talking for a while. The headlines were made. 'Match-fixing: Fabric of the game is threatened'. The tweet heard around the world.
Is match-fixing a huge problem for football? Of course. At a very basic level, once there's a genuine belief that it's happening somewhere, the doubt creeps in. Your club. Your favourite player. Your favourite manager.
But even still, what happens after that?
When Calciopoli broke, it brought down some of Europe's biggest clubs. Kind of. A year after the scandal was first uncovered, AC Milan, who were originally banned from competing in the 2007 Champions League because of their involvement in binfluencing referees, were crowned European winners in Athens.
Fiorentina, who were docked 15 points as punishment, finished the 2006/07 season in 6th and were playing in the Europa League just a few months later. Even Juventus, seen by their own as having been treated so appallingly, were back in the top-flight within a year. Another year later, they were back in the Champions League.
Two years ago, Sepp Blatter pounded his chest and proclaimed FIFA were introducing a 'zero tolerance' approach to match-fixing.
The big plan was to detect suspicious betting patterns early but there was a problem.
Where smaller bets were placed in a multitude of different betting shops, FIFA's software system couldn't join the dots. According to a recent Spiegel report, an ex-UEFA employee who had inside knowledge of how the system worked said it was 'essentially blind' if the bets weren't excessive and didn't stand out.
In other words, football's governing body had provided the byte, the headline, the gist. They did their part. Just not very well.
Just last month Sepp Blatter pounded his chest and proclaimed football should have a zero tolerance approach to racism. He's come a long way since telling CNN in November 2011 that there was no racism and that players should remember it's all just a game.
Where once a handshake was enough to build a bridge, deduction of points and relegation should be the norm. But instead of zero tolerance there is, well, tolerance. Both Hungary and Bulgaria were found guilty of racial abuse last month. Their punishment? To play their next home World Cup qualifiers behind closed doors.
Match-fixing will continue, as it always has. It will creep up on those lower-ranked players, managers, officials and administrators. It will make criminals vast sums of money and leave the weak and desperate take the fall, if there is any.
At times, it will permeate the upper echelons of the game and for a brief moment or two, there will be a flurry of activity as the story breaks. But as always, change will only come from those willing to change.
The wrong-doers will only be caught if those chasing them are interested.
And right now, football's leaders aren't interested.
They're just looking for the gist.
The headline.
The byte.

On Thursday morning David Beckham signed a contract to play for Paris Saint-Germain in France's Ligue 1.
Since the Qatar Investment Authority took over PSG in 2011 the aim has been to make the team a major force in world soccer and by signing Beckham they think he can help make the dream a reality.

Registered Retirement Income Fund - RRIF
Definition of 'Registered Retirement Income Fund - RRIF'A retirement fund similar to an annuity contract that pays out income to a beneficiary or a number of beneficiaries. To fund their retirement, RRSP holders often roll over their RRSPs into an RRIF. RRIF payouts are considered a part of the beneficiary's normal income and are taxed as such by the Canadian Revenue Agency in the year that the beneficiary receives payouts. The organization or company that holds the RRIF is known as the carrier of the plan. Carriers can be insurance companies, banks or any kind of licensed financial intermediary. The Government of Canada is not the carrier for RRIFs; it merely registers them for tax purposes. |
Investopedia explains 'Registered Retirement Income Fund - RRIF'The RRIF plan is designed to provide people with a constant income flow through retirement from the savings in their RRSPs. RRSPs must be rolled over by the time the contributor reaches age 69, but by converting an RRSP into an RRIF, people can keep their investments under a form of tax shelter, while still having the chance to allocate assets according to contributor specifications. |

I'm sure they are hard at work trying to develop a 10 inch tablet. I think the reason Google didn't release a 10 inch (or announce a 10 inch) tablet today is because they may be still trying to develop all of the features and specifications they want in such a tablet. I mean look at what they announced today, it wasn't just some ordinary 7 inch tablet. It was a 7 inch tablet that had some monstrous specifications while also showing off some pretty awesome features such as Google Now. It basically offers features that you wouldn't (and may not in the near future) find on any other tablet for the same price. I think Google is wanting to do that with their 10 inch device. They will want it to have the features and specifications that you won't find on the new iPad or Microsoft's Surface.

I'm just wondering what they are going to do when the second gen comes out. Google Nexus 7 2 doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
I'd be willing to bet that a wait and see approach will come after Nexus 7 sales calm down a bit. Obviously, they are going to follow whatever path Amazon takes to remain in direct competition. So if you see a 10" Fire, then you will see a Nexus 10. If not, then I would expect Google to build a direct iPad competitor. Not after seeing how little effect Asus had in direct competition with Apple.

The Norwich Sound and Vision team at Norwich Arts Centre(l to r) Rosie Arnold, Jenny Allison and Adrian Cooke. PHOTO BY SIMON FINLAY
Richard Wheeler
Thursday, March 14, 2013
For most people, if a handful of people turn up to your party it is a relief.
But for the Norwich organisers of an event promoting east of England musicians to the world, their guestlist contains 8,000 names for a venue capable of hosting 300 people.
South by Southwest (SXSW) is up and running in Austin, Texas, for its 26th year and plays host to hundreds of gigs, music industry officials, film representatives and more during its 10-day run.
And the team behind Norwich Sound and Vision (NSV) is hosting its second event at SXSW to promote talent from the region and their city-based music, film and multi-media conference.
They co-hosted their first party last night. Singer-songwriter Mary Epworth leads the eastern artists picked by NSV, which also includes Cave Painting, Syd Arthur and Fear of Men.
Adrian Cooke, NSV festival director, said: "What we do with the artists at SXSW is important but the main thing is we have a big NSV presence.
"We will also be looking for bands to book for October. It's the right time of the year. You see quite a few bands and there's a few you see once or twice and you are aware lot of people are talking about them and you think 'we need to get them' as they are just at the point where they about to do something interesting."
NSV returns for its fourth year from October 10 and 12. Early bird discounted tickets for the conference and gigs are on sale.
Miss Epworth said she is playing three shows at SXSW, including the eastern region event, and is also looking forward to meeting other people in the industry.
And with Mary describing herself as a "wildlife nerd", she says she will take time out after SXSW to indulge in her passion for wildlife, including keeping an eye out for hummingbirds.
She said: "I've been to Austin before as a tourist years ago but I've always wanted to play.
"I am really chuffed to go. We have an official showcase and two parties, of which one is for the eastern region.
"We are lucky to have three. It's worth going even if you have one.
"I used to listen to a lot of alt-country, country rock and 60s and 70s psychedelica, and there's an overlap with country music.
"There's definitely an influence - my album is half British countryside, half dreaming of the west coast of America. Austin isn't quite the west coast but it's a really lovely city."
Grants from Norfolk County Council, Norwich University of the Arts and Escalator Music have matched the cash put in by NSV for the SXSW event.

If you're considering pulling your horse's shoes and switching to hoof boots, know that there are several critical steps to take as you make the transition.
Before you invest in expensive hoof boots that may or may not be right for your horse, check out our tips, do your homework, and talk to your farrier and veterinarian. Then decide which, if any, boot is best for your horse.
Here, we'll give you tips on boot fit and how to get started. Plus, we'll provide live links to hoof-boot manufacturers and to further reading.
(For more information, see "Your Guide to Hoof Boots," The Trail Rider, July/August '12)
Size & Shape
If you've evaluated your horse with the help of your veterinarian and farrier, and have decided your horse is a good candidate for hoof boots, the next step is to select the right boot size and shape.
You may be so accustomed to your own horse that you aren't aware of how varied hoof shape can be.
Thoroughbred-type feet tend to be more round, while those of gaited breeds may be more oval. Trying to jam an oval hoof into a round boot sounds like an old cliché, and it's just as true: Find a boot shaped like your horse's foot.
Most hoof-boot makers will advise you to make tracings of your horse's feet soon after trimming. Custom-made boots will require this step. By tracing your horse's foot, you'll clearly see whether it's wider than it is long.
Keep in mind that your tracings will capture your horse's feet as they were shaped on that day. If you've recently removed your horse's shoes, his foot shape may change quite a bit in the months to come.
Plan to evaluate hoof-boot fit on a regular basis, or opt for boots with plenty of adjustment features.
Custom-made boots are sometimes required for hard-to-fit sizes. For instance, if you have a half-draft trail horse, you may be limited in your choices to find a boot big enough for him.
You might also have a hard time finding variety in boots for a small pack animal, such as a burro or Sicilian donkey. But with the number of boots on the market today, there's a boot for every equid!
Determine Fit
"Fit" and "size" aren't interchangeable terms when it comes to hoof boots. Determine the correct size for your horse in consultation with the manufacturer (or his/her representative) or a knowledgeable and patient tack-shop salesperson.
Spend time researching models, and have your hoof tracings on hand as you examine each one.
Find out in advance under what conditions the boots may be returned for a refund if they don't fit your horse. Custom boots are usually not returnable. Ask about warranties for materials.
Ideally, you should load your barefoot horse onto a trailer and drive to the tack shop or boot fitter, unless he or she can come to you. If the shop permits, and if your trailer and horse are spotlessly clean, you may be allowed to try a boot on your horse to see how it fits.
Don't be surprised if a boot fits your horse's front feet, but not his hind ones. Hind feet are generally more oval and may be a different size.
Likewise, if your horse has mismatched front hoof angles — a common condition — he may need two different boot
sizes. This can be problematic if the boots are only sold in pairs, but correct fit is imperative. Some horses wear boots from different manufacturers.
High-tech customized boots, such as the Swiss Horse Boot, are sold only after a professional fitting by authorized farriers or hoof trimmers who specialize in those boots. Most boots offer some adjustments for odd-shaped hoof walls, but the shape of the platform under the foot still must match your horse's hoof shape. Even with an ample hook-and-loop adjustment system in Cavallos, Deltas, and Old Mac's, a good fit must start with selecting the correct size.
Every few months, stand back and evaluate how your horse's hoof boots fit. Ask your farrier to check the boots and point out any developing problems.
Note that you may or may not be able to use the same pair of boots for multiple horses. Over time, some boots seem to have more "memory" than others, and take on altered shapes similar to the hooves they cover. Don't try to make an old boot fit a new horse; the likelihood of a good fit will decrease.
Likewise, don't share boots with friends and acquaintances, except perhaps in a dire emergency. The likelihood of getting the boots back in their original condition is slim.
Plus, boots are easily lost or stolen, and any mishaps that the borrower experiences while riding might be blamed on the borrowed boots.
Boot Up
You've bought the boots, now what? Here are some startup tips.

Last night, we were invited to a secret show at the Box "Experience The Turn" hosted by Jay-z. The small intimate venue (known for it's Burlesque Shoes) was filled with media, roc nation reps and the likes of Beyonce, Jay-z, Estelle, and Omarion…Ace of Spades was on the house and kept flowing all night so it was evident something magical was about to go down.
Jay eventually emerged on stage and announced that New Orleans MC Jay Electronica was officially signed to Roc Nation. "It's not really a surprise of this next wizard we are about to introduce. We've been watching this wizard do his thing, you guys have supported him in a major way and he goes by the name of Jay Electronica. He's an official Roc Nation Signee."

Safety first for big Worcester fireworks display near motorway
6:20pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in News By Elizabeth Sweetman, @lizsweetmanWN #worcsnews
THE organisers of this year's firework display at Worcester's Sixways stadium have reassured the public that safety has been paramount and they have paid close attention to the events leading up to last year's Taunton motorway pile-up which killed seven people.
And they have been supported by council experts who say they have no concerns about the event.
Taunton event organiser Geoffrey Counsell is facing seven counts of man-slaughter following the crash on the M5 on November 4 last year when seven people died and 51 were injured.
The crash, involving 34 vehicles, is believed to have happened as smoke from the nearby display at Taunton Rugby Club drifted across the foggy carriageway.
But although Sixways is close to junction 6 of the M5, the rugby club points out that there is no bonfire at its Classic Disney Fireworks show at 7.30pm on Saturday.
Warriors managing director Charlie Little said safety was of "paramount importance" to the club and said it was important to note that the Sixways event does not include a bonfire due to the stadium's close proximity to the M5 and A449.
"We have obviously taken note of the terrible tragedy that took place near Taunton Rugby Club last year," said Mr Little.
"We always use a professional specialist fireworks company to run the show. They follow all the relevant regulations and legislation and we are proud of our record of hosting one of the biggest and best fireworks displays in the region."
Simon Wilkes, business manager for Worcester-shire Regulatory Services, said: "The Highways Act 1980 forbids the discharge of fireworks within 50ft of the centre of a highway without lawful authority or excuse.
"Sixways stadium is located further than 50ft from the M5 motorway. The club at Sixways is licensed for a wide variety of activities, so no additional licences are required for this event.
"The club also hosts a safety advisory group, which includes officers from partners including the police, county council and Worcestershire Regul-atory Services.
"The partners work together with the club to ensure the smooth and safe running of events at the stadium and the firework display is no exception.
"Given that the event has gone off without significant incident for the past few years, there are no particular concerns for this one."
Counsell, aged 50, from Somerset, is due to appear at Bristol Magistrates Court next month.

Vox populi

Maybe the operators of the motorway signs could converse with the organisers of the Rugby Club and reduce the speed limit on the night of the firework display if necessary as they have for every single fog patch and queue on the motorway for the last 10 years?
Actually they probably won't need to as the queue for the current roadworks and accompanying average speed cameras will already have reduced the traffic speed to 25mph past junction six.

Back in July, when the skies were blue and people exposed the lower half of their arms, I journeyed over to Berlin to play the inaugural Midi Fight Club at the legendary Tresor. The event, thrown by the good folks over at DJ Tech Tools, was very enjoyable. So, I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments from this experience. (For an even more thorough account of this event, please see the post on DJ Tech Tools, which features hard hitting journalism and a variety of perspectives HERE.)
-My hotel was very cheeky. Every item in it had a cheeky expression. When I asked for coffee in the presence of a coffee machine, the bartender had a cheeky response for me.
-After I arrived, I jetted over (not literally, I took the train) to Fritz Radio with Ali/Hedgehog and his girlfriend Anne. On the way over, I learned how to say in German "I am the master" ("Ich bin der meister"). This phrase actually became one of the focuses of my interview at Fritz. In addition to discussing Meisters with the enthusiastic host, I spoke about my setup, the upcoming event at Tresor, and things I didn't understand because he sometimes spoke in German. I then dropped a little set, which you can see here:
-Upon returning to my hotel, I decided to venture out for some food before napping. In typical American style, I asked the concierge for directions to the nearest cheeseburger. I don't what it is, I don't eat fast food at home, but every time I go overseas, I crave Big Macs. In any case, I wandered the streets of Berlin searching for this burger, only to run into my good buddy Michael from Native Instruments eating at a Vietnamese place. Of all the gin joints in all the world . . . Patriotism aside, I joined him for a delightful beef noodle bowl.
-My slot for the party was 4am-6am, which I was told was primetime. Holy moly! Before heading over to the club, I grabbed a drink with my good buddy Terry from NI (NI is filled with good buddies, which is one of the reasons they are great to work with. That and the hope that one day they will make an actual tractor are what keep me coming back).
-When I got to the club, Strip Steve (Boys Noize Records) was rocking a banging set, all while smoking a cigarette. What a multi-tasker! The crowd was loving the build-ups and the hard-hitting, yet funky, techno sounds. I knew from watching his set that I had to come in upbeat and dance-y (i.e. save the dubstep!).
-My set was super fun! The crowd was very into it, and let me veer off into different directions. I opened with Drop The Lime's Sex Sax and moved into the Zombies for Money remix, while still chopping up the original a little bit. But don't just let me tell you about it! Here's some video from the event (I'm at 6:10) and the full audio of my set.
-During the set, I had a couple highlights in and of themselves. First, I tried early in my set to go into some dubstep and more bass bass bass kind of sounds, but the crowd wasn't quite having it, so I jumped back to electro. However, I managed to catch them by surprise towards the end of my set by dropping THIS into THIS, and then the dubstep was on!
Second, I had one of those great moments when you DJ where you play a song you love, everyone in the club loves it too, you feel totally connected to all the people, and you think "wow, this is what it's all about." For me, this moment came during Sub Focus' "Could This Be Real" right around HERE.
-After my set, I realized I had DJed the whole time with my fly unzipped! No wonder why I felt so free up there!
-Hedgehog got on the set after me and dropped a lot of heavy bangers that I was really feeling. I especially dug some tracks he played from Rubix, someone of whom I previously had no idea.
-After Hedgehog were Muller and Graf, who dropped a set close to my heart – monstrous dubstep bangers! My favorite moment was actually captured on video HERE. The boys dropped a giant tune and then Muller went totally ape shit. It's a beautiful thing to watch!
-At about this time, I looked at my watch and it said "Breakfast." So, I knew I had to get a quick bite to eat. I ducked out with with Hedgehog & Honestly Who, ate a tuna sandwich, discussed issues facing the modern DJ, and helped other random patrons of the eatery practice their English.
-When we returned to the club accompanied by a local crazy person, it was 9am. Surely the night was over. Nope! Restricted Sessions, a bunch of fine gentleman from the Netherlands whom I had met earlier in the night as they scrambled for a missing hotel room, were rocking. At 9am!!! The floor was still active and these fellas were having the times of their lives. I thoroughly enjoyed their set too, which is impressive because they don't really play my type of music. The sign of a good DJ – making you enjoy stuff you aren't really into!
-The night finally ended. It must have been 10 or 11am. I taxi-ed it back to the hotel, grabbed some cheeky breakfast, and then checked out on to my next location – a different, less cheeky, hotel down the road. Why? I was staying in town to make a video with my good buddies at Native Instruments. It turned out pretty well I think!

Letter to Bob: Configuring an Intel Linux System
Dear Bob:
I have finished configuring your Intel Linux system for you. I think you will be highly pleased with the resulting capabilities.
First, I split the disk space up into a small amount for Windows for Workgroups and WNT, with the rest of the space devoted to Linux. I did this so that you could do a triple-boot, booting either Windows for Workgroups, WNT or Linux. I know you like to experiment with those other operating systems, and when you have visitors from Redmond you like to at least pretend you run their operating systems from time to time, so having the triple-boot capability is handy. This also gives you access to their new 32-bit applications, as well as ensuring that their old 16-bit applications work without a hiccup.
I continued with a basic installation of Red Hat Linux (Red Hat, Inc., Durham, NC), installing the FVWM-95 window manager, which gives a Windows 95 "look and feel". This will also help with surprise visits from your Washington friends, but I added the "accelerated X" window server and the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) desktop from Xi Graphics, both of which are available from WorkGroup Solutions of Aurora, Colorado. By using these products you can run those really great 3D modeling programs on your Digital UNIX server, and display them on your Linux box using the optional OpenGL extensions. You also get exactly the same look and feel of your Digital UNIX desktop on your Linux system. I am sure this will make you more comfortable with Linux, since CDE is used in your existing environments.
From time to time I know you like to run breadboard simulation applications that run only on a Mac, just to keep your hand in electronic design. I have installed a Macintosh emulator called "Executor 2" from ARDI (Albuquerque, NM) on the Linux box, and tied that into CDE so you can easily launch it. Likewise for those dull moments, you can execute Wabi (available from Caldera, Inc.) and run solitaire there, as well as a whole bunch of other Windows 3.1 applications which you can launch directly off the W3.1 part of the disk, since Linux can mount MS-DOS file systems. And Bob, you will be amused to find out the "disk copy" function under W3.1 actually works faster with Wabi than it does running native on the hardware. In fact, a lot of the Windows programs running under Wabi seem to execute faster than they do in native mode. Perhaps that is only my perception (I do admit a bias), but it could also be that Wabi takes advantage of the buffer cache of Linux in its input/output operations, as well as the virtual address space and virtual memory protections of Linux.
Speaking of faster, I would not have done all of this work if I could not give you a better environment than you had before, and with the addition of two more tools, I believe I have accomplished that goal. Of course, I realized you still wanted to take advantage of the power and high availability of your 64-bit Digital UNIX system, with its huge address spaces, fail over capabilities and over 5,000 commercial applications available. On the other hand, I know you want to minimize the network traffic over the Internet and create a seamless environment in which you get the most compute power on your desk for the least amount of money. Therefore, I enlisted the aid of Empress Software, Inc. of Markham, Ontario, Canada and Platform Computing of Toronto, Canada. Empress has a distributed a relational database that runs on 1500 Unix platforms, and when it can take advantage of a 64-bit environment (as in the case of Digital UNIX), it does so. This is particularly important (as you know) when you are trying to process large unstructured binary objects. In addition, the Empress RDBMS can attach to an Oracle Parallel Server database and extract information, bringing it directly back to your Linux system. This allows you to intermix the SQL calls with some of the data coming from the Empress database and some coming from the Oracle database, but only the pertinent data coming back directly to your Linux system with the least possible impact on the network. Sure beats grepping those terabyte files over NFS, doesn't it?
Finally, the use of Platform Computing's Load Sharing Facility (LSF) has me really excited. You know Digital UNIX has clustering capability with really fast recovery from a variety of failures, but Platform Computing has developed software that allows you to have a cluster in a heterogeneous environment. Supported on almost every Unix platform (and even Bill's WNT), it allows you to execute from your Linux system a program on whatever system is best able to run that program, with the output of the application coming right back to your Linux system as if it was executing locally. So, for example, if you were executing GIMP or Emacs, you would probably be executing it on your desktop Linux system, but if you wished to execute PV-WAVE (which runs on both platforms), LSF might transparently run that on the Digital UNIX platform to take advantage of the Alpha's superior floating point capabilities. Or, if you wished to execute that specialized accounting package which only runs on Digital UNIX, by typing in the application's name, LSF realizes it works only on Digital UNIX and finds the least loaded Digital UNIX system (taking into account CPU, I/O, memory constraints, etc.) to run it on, and send the output back to your system. And the accountants will be happy to know LSF can also do that batch processing they have been asking for. LSF truly makes use of the network as an extension of your computer.
So Bob, I hope you enjoy the Linux system I have created for your desktop. Whether you choose CDE or Windows 95 as the "Look and Feel" of Linux, you will still be able to have access to these features, since all of these applications run both on Intel Linux and Digital UNIX, creating that seamless environment you keep demanding.
I will have a little time next week, so I will be happy to duplicate this environment for your Hi-Note Ultra II laptop.
Please say "Hello" to Mrs. Palmer for me, and thank her for the cookies.

Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
