SPARK - Where empowerment begins at 15 years
A global company must reflect the diversity of the world it serves. Our employees represent the widest possible variety of nationalities, cultures, gender identities, employment histories, and levels of physical ability. We recruit employees from global talent pools and provide paths for professional growth to all members of society.
Within such a diverse company, people bring to the workplace contrasting opinions and worldviews. As these people interact, they develop new ideas, methods and perspectives. Infosys recognizes and promotes this power of diversity to drive innovation.
Infosys actively fosters inclusivity across business units and company offices. We encourage employees to focus on their commonalities and de-emphasize differences. Inclusivity ultimately makes for more informed and sensitive teams that can serve customers better.
Infosys was the first Indian IT company to establish an office for diversity and inclusivity. Our workforce comprises people from 89 nationalities working from 32 countries, with 34.7% women on board and a multi-generational representation. Talent diversity is the key to propel our business growth engines and sustain momentum.
We work towards increasing employee motivation, their ability to collaborate and innovate with internal as well as external stakeholders and to have a positive business impact on our business success through various diversity and inclusivity programs.
Some of our flagship programs in 2011-12 are:
Highlights and educates employees about the values and cultural ethos. The program employs innovative approaches and communication campaigns channeled through live events, our intranet, our corporate TV channel, mailers and posters.
Family Matters promotes work-life balance among young parents. It also offers family enrichment programs and workshops, networking opportunities to employees for support and information sharing.
Infosys Gay Lesbian employees and You (IGLU) creates a safe and respectful work environment for employees from the LGBT community. Awareness programs and exclusive events are held to create awareness and foster inclusion.
Infyability creates a sensitive and inclusive workplace for differently-abled employees. Regular accessibility audits are conducted to ensure that our infrastructure is accessible to differently-abled employees. The World Disability Day is celebrated on all our campuses and policies are enhanced/ changed keeping in mind the special needs of differently-abled employees.
The Infosys Women's Inclusivity Network (IWIN), works towards creating a gender-sensitive and inclusive work environment for women employees and develop them for managerial and leadership roles. IWIN partners with gender networks and forums across the globe to benchmark.
Volunteers trained in barefoot counseling listen, empathize, support and counsel fellow employees and help them cope with life's challenges, mostly personal in nature. This initiative is a first-of-its-kind in India and is active on our seven campuses and had positive outcomes for over 638 employees.
"Firstly, we de-emphasize the differences. In the process of embracing diversity, we ensure that the unique advantages of every minority become a part of the Infosys core values..." N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor, Infosys. Download

Billboard seeking kidney nets chain of giving
Stephanie Henderson, right, talks with her surgeon Dr. Allan Roza, and Cami Meunier, RN, during a follow-up visit related to her kidney transplant at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In an effort to save lives and health care costs, computers at the National Kidney Registry's offices in Babylon, N.Y., Ramsey, N.J., and Chicago connect dozens of hospitals around the country representing hundreds of patients, like Henderson. (Kristyna Wentz-Graff/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MCT) |
Terry Dvorak heard about the billboard on U.S. 41 - "Young Mother Needs Live Kidney Donor. Is It You?"
Two words resonated: "young mother." She had that in common with the patient seeking the kidney, Stephanie Henderson, an information technology worker from Kimberly, Wis.
Dvorak kept thinking: This woman needs to be there for her kid. Dvorak, a mother herself, would help this woman she'd never met.

All my changes ..." See moreare based on a 13x9 casserole dish for amount. I have a big family and like leftovers. Anyway, we used 12oz egg noodles instead of elbow. We also doubled the amount of cheese. I sauteed onions, mushroom and the yellow pepper in some butter, salt and pepper. I cut back the amount of sausage and only did 5 sausages (cut up) in the casserole. It seemed like to much sausage to double it. With the extra veggies and cheese it came out great. "

"I tweaked this a bit to make it a little healthier, a little more flavorful and stretch it a little farther. I decided to make this a "supreme" pizza bake, so after I sauteed the italian sausage (and ..." See moreI used a full roll of mild italian sausage), I threw in sliced fresh mushrooms, chopped sweet onion, fresh minced garlic, sliced olives, drained petite diced tomatoes and I upped the amount of sliced bell peppers. I made my own pizza sauce out of canned organic tomato sauce and my own blend of pizza seasonings along with a good slug of red wine and a good amount of fresh grated parmesan. The pepperoni I used were the new Hormel Mini Pepperoni, which thrilled my two boys (though, to be honest, for some reason this particular pepperoni was quite salty, so I will not be using it again). We also doubled the cheese on top as this did turn into a double recipe, with the added veggies. Out of a large 9x13 pan, only a small amount remains. My husband ate two large portions all on his own. I'll make this again, with my additions."

Learning how to mulch flowers is really a little various then learning how you can mulch leaves, which is why we are going to help you get a much better knowing of how to do it yourself.

Mulch is used to maintain warmth in the ground as well as moisture so using mulch inside your flower gardens actually protects them.
There are various mulching materials which you can use to obtain mulch for your flowers such as wood chips, grass clippings, shredded bark, cocoa bean hulls, pine needles, and numerous much more options. Usually mulch is produced out from the yard waste materials around your yard but should you do not have any then you are able to actually buy mulch at your nearby gardening shop at a cost.
With regards to laying down your mulch you'll want to wait until your ground has dethawed from the winter months, so do it following your nearby areas final frost. The soil needs to become warm for you to have the opportunity to develop a beautiful back garden and if you location mulch before the ground warms up you will delay the process by quite a bit.
Knowing how you can mulch flowers might take a bit of time, particularly if you are new towards the whole gardening process. It isn't as well hard of a task and if you purchase mulch out of your nearby gardening center there is guaranteed to be guidelines correct on the packaging, making the procedure so much simpler.
One mistake numerous individuals make is the kind of mulching that they're doing. Don't find your self placing your spring mulch down for the winter months and placing your autumn mulch down for the spring as they could truly mess points up. The mulch you use in the spring helps hold in moisture and prevent the growth of weeds, but the mulch you use in autumn assists maintain the ground a small warmer and protect the roots from any damaging.
As you can see there might be a lot to discover with regards to discovering how you can mulch flowers. With the correct instructions and help you could be on your way to mulching your back garden correctly and helping your garden grow much more. Just make certain to use the right mulch for the correct season and you will be doing a great job and helping your garden grow even much better.
Create Your Own Mulch
Utilizing a Mulch in your garden can help improve the high quality of one's soil in numerous different ways. By shredding, chipping or breaking down the existing plants, flowers and trees you want to dispose of, you are able to produce a great base item that you can apply to your flower beds, pots or plants which will supply them with nutrients and act as an excellent barrier against the elements.
Any plants and flowers in your back garden could be reused as mulch. By using a device like a leaf shredder or wood chipper you can break down your back garden waste and then shop it to become used as mulch or compost. Also, the truth that the plants you're using are from your back garden will ensure that the right kind of nutrients are being supplied towards the plants.
To start producing your mulch, follow this simple 5 step guide:
First: Break lower, shred or chip all of one's garden waste. Attempt to break it lower as little as possible.
Second: Shop the shredded waste materials in a compost bin or garden waste sack.
Third: Add a generous quantity of water (rain water if feasible) towards the waste and leave it to soak for a few week, turning it frequently.
Fourth: The mulch ought to only be applied in the winter months and is greatest applied onto wet or damp soil in layers of around five centimeters.
Fifth: When the mulch has begun to turn brown and form into a congealed mass, spread it out onto your soil around the plants. You can spread right up towards the stalk or roots of the plants.
Making and using Mulch is a real no-brainer for numerous gardeners. It's a lot better to re-use your back garden waste rather than dispose of it at the local refuse tip or garden waste scheme. For those who have a very rich soil, you could even sell the mulch to fellow gardeners to utilize on theirs. It works wonders!
The hardest component of producing mulch is whenever you have to break down the plants into smaller pieces. To complete this, we suggest buying a used chipper shredder which will make the procedure a total breeze.

'Discussing the UK supply side challenge' with Evan Davis, 9 April 2013
The Economics Society hosted a talk by Evan Davis, the BBC Economist, Journalist and Presenter of 'Dragons Den' and 'The Bottom Line' in the Jubilee lecture theatre on Tuesday 9 April.
During the talk, titled 'Discussing the UK supply side challenge', Evan spoke about the challenges facing industry, investors and entrepreneurs in the UK and the need to focus attention on the supply side. Batting aside questions about Dragon's Den, he reviewed the UK's industrial performance, from the 1980s and Margaret Thatcher's legacy to the changing role of China, and asked students to think about policies for boosting growth. The discussion that followed was typically wide-ranging, from HS2 and other infrastructure investment, internationalisation of UK education and regional income disparities. Drinks followed during which Evan was inundated with questions from students - we hope he made the last train back to London!
An audio recording from the talk is available below.

I couldn't find this anywhere, has anyone noticed whether bb10 has a swipe down from the top like the playbook to access all the device settings?

It operates in a similar way. A swipe down from the top (whilst in an app) brings up the app options/settings. A swipe down whilst on the active frames or app grid screen brings down a tray containing quick settings for things like wifi, bluetooth, silent mode etc. It also contains an icon that will take you to the full device settings.

In the instance you specified it would simply be a swipe up (to minimise the app), a swipe down (to bring down the quick settings tray) then a tap (to go back into your app). Much quicker than it would be currently. But from my understanding all relevant app specific options/quick settings will be shown when you perform a swipe down from the top (whilst in an app). So it may work as you'd want - it's just down to the developer.

Jim Belcher, Francis Chan, N.T. Wright, and Others Leave the Pastorate to Write and Speak
Jim Belcher announced on Sunday May 2 that he has decided to leave the church he planted, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, California, to write his next book. Earlier this year, Leadership Journal named Belcher's first book, Deep Church, "the best of the best" for a "Leader's Outer Life." It also won a Christianity Today book award in the church/pastoral leadership category.
Belcher's announcement follows days after that of Francis Chan, who has also decided to resign from the California congregation he planted, Simi Valley's Cornerstone Church. Chan continues to have two books in the top 12 of the ECPA bestseller list and two in the top 9 of the CBA chart. (Christianity Today profiled Chan in October.) He will fulfill some speaking commitments over the next few months, but expects by the end of the year to be doing some kind of urban ministry.
These announcements come on the heels of the announcement by pastor and author John Piper that he is taking a leave of absence for nine months from both writing and his church responsibilities. And N. T. Wright announced on April 27th he is leaving his position as Bishop of Durham to become a professor at St Andrews in Scotland.
Likewise, Peter Rollins left the church community he founded, Northern Ireland's ikon, in October 2009 to move to the United States after his 2006 book How (Not) To Speak of God and subsequent volumes became popular in the U.S.
In January 2006, Brian McLaren left the church he had planted, Cedar Ridge Community Church, to pursue his writing and speaking ministry.
What's going on? Is the local church becoming the "farm team" for full-time conference and book ministry? Normal pastoral transition, pastoral stress, the personality of church planters, and American culture all probably play a role in these type of transitions.
First, pastoral transition is quite normal. According to the 2006-2007 National Congregations Study led by Duke sociologist Mark Chaves, 50 percent of congregations have had a new senior clergy person in the last seven years.
Second, pastoring certainly can be a demanding vocation. But is it a particularly stressful vocation? Sometimes. "The data suggest that the problems are not as widespread or bleak as some reports maintain," Duke Divinity School professor Jackson W. Carroll wrote in God's Potters. "Even so, they should not be ignored, because they can have a significant negative impact on clergy, their congregations, and their families." Pastors may have extremely stressful circumstances but on the whole, they have found the life of the pastor very satisfying.
Third, people who are good at church planting tend to have creative and communication gifts that also make them good writers. Ed Stetzer and Warren Bird write in the 2007 State of Church Planting in the United States, "Aggressive and highly effective church planters tend to be entrepreneurial and find creative means of funding the plant other than with direct assistance from denominational or church-planting agencies." It is not surprising that the entrepreneurial and creative energies of church planters will sometimes lead them to write books describing what they have learned along the way.
Belcher, Chan, Rollins, McLaren, and others were all church planters. So was Eugene Peterson, who left the church he planted after 29 years to become a professor at Regent College in 1991. (Piper's church has been in existence since the 19th century, but he led it to major growth.)
Fourth, American culture expects authors to travel and promote their books through speaking engagements. Outside speaking engagements and further writing often take pastors away from the church they founded. Some pastors, such as Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, Max Lucado, Tim Keller, and Rob Bell, have made arrangements to stay at the churches they founded with other pastors taking on a significant portion of the preaching.

I also find it odd that John Piper is included in this article. His situation is entirely different than all the others. He is taking an extended sabbatical FROM all those things that the others mentioned here are leaving their churches to go and pursue.

Hey Friends, I just posted a response on Scot McKnight's Jesus Creed about this article. It is comment #18. I hope it helps shed some light on our reasons and motivations for stepping out of Redeemer at this time. We love Redeemer and her people and will miss them and the church dearly. As a teaching elder in the PCA I will remain under their care and authority for the years to come. http://blog.beliefnet.com/jesuscreed/2010/05/is-the-local-church-the-fa rm-t.html Shalom, Jim Belcher

A decapitated head stays alive for up to 30 seconds!
People have long debated the question of whether a human head remains alive after it is decapitated from the body, and research tends to point toward the fact that it does. Throughout history there have been many reports of movements after decapitation, or even words attempting to be spoken.
Anne Boleyn is said to have continued to pray after a sword took her head off. French philosopher and scientist Antoine Lavoisier was to be beheaded during the French Revolution, yet was curious as to whether a person is still conscious after their head is severed.
He asked his friends to look at his eyes and observe how long he could blink. He is reported to have exceeded 15 seconds before his eyes finally became still. So if there are all of these reports, why is this new information? The question has always been debated whether eyes continue to move simply out of reflex or whether a person is actually still conscious.
Scientists have recently discovered that since a healthy brain will function until it dies from a lack of oxygen, a brain could technically function until blood ceases to stop flowing completely, which would be several seconds after the brain is disconnected from the heart!

This Man Thinks He Has A Better Bottom Than Beyoncé. Pardon?
We know that former Oasis front man Liam Gallagher is prone to hyperbole and histrionics, but this takes the biscuit. In a recent interview the singer proclaims that his posterior is better than Beyoncé's. Yes, you read that right. Better. Than. Bey's. No way, we say, though we think Gallagher has his tongue-firmly-in-his-cheek about this point, it is an amusing thought to ponder. Watch the video to see…Read more

Six ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Somers in honor of Master Commandant Richard Somers who was killed at Tripoli in action against the Barbary pirates.
The second USS Somers was a brig in the United States Navy during the Mexican-American War, infamous for being the only U.S. Navy ship to undergo a mutiny which led to executions.
USS Somers (DD-301), a Clemson-class destroyer, engaged in peacetime operations with the Pacific Fleet from 1920 until she was scrapped under the London Naval Treaty in 1930. She was the fourth ship of the United States Navy named for Richard Somers.
The fifth USS Somers (DD-381) was the lead ship of the Somers-class destroyers. She was namd for Richard Somers.
The sixth USS Somers (DDG-34, ex-DD-947) was a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer when her keel was laid down at the Bath Iron Works on 4 March 1958, she was launched on 30 May, and commissioned on 3 April 1959.
USS Somers was a schooner, formerly the Catherine, purchased by the United States Navy in 1812. She was purchased for $5500.00 from Jacob Townsend, a pioneer and one of the first settlers of Lewiston, NY and purveyor of goods on the Great Lakes . She fought in the War of 1812 under the command of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry on Lake Erie and Lake Huron, and took part in the capture of the British Squadron on 10 September 1813.

scanning ticket stubs
May 12, 2007, 04:38:45 PM »
I have a bunch of concert ticket stubs I would like to scan & archive, (using an Epson perfection 4490 photo flat bed scanner) to print off an inkjet or laser printer & view on a computer & TV screen. What resolution dpi do you recommend for my purposes? Format? TIFF or JPG?
in the scan preview screen, there is a dotted boundry box that one pulls around with the mouse, should I scan just the area of the ticket stub, or scan with stub to the size of an 8 & 1/2" letter paper size?
before I scan there is the file save settings box, where one names the scan: file name (Prefix + 3-digit number) & start number 001, etc. What should I use for the (Prefix + 3-digit number) name? What compression level should I use for: TIFFS & or JPGS? & what type of encoding?
I also noticed in the Epson scan & in photo editors that one of the options when I save an image as a TIFF; it gives me the choice of Mac or PC byte order, which of these should I choose & will it be compatible with the other I don't choose? in the past I saved one in each, but this gets a little tedious when I have a alot of images.

I have a large collections of various ticket stubs. Many of them have been used as art in scrap books which have been shared with friends. I scann all of these at 600 dpi. More recently I have scanned them at lower resolution since I have now gone electronic and do not print those are scanned at 72.
If you are going to scan a large number of tickets. Put a large number of them on the flatbed scanner and scan. Photoshop has an automation of crop and strightn that will crop the images and create separate files. Works great. I then save them with names that make sense to me and save them in folders with other images from the same event.
I save all thing like this as jpegs as they are the easiest to work with in programs like word, powerpoint and slideshows.
Peter asks people to sign their names with their posts and I think it is a nice thing to do.

I have Photoshop CS3 and I have not looked at Elements in a while. In PSCS2 and CS3 you find the function by File-->Automate-->crop and rotate. I am not sure if it is in Elements 2.0 (Elements is currently 5.0). I have a couple of friends that have Elements and I will check with them.

I don't think Elements 2.0 has that crop function. Instead, what you'd have to do is to open the image and crop out one of the tickets. Then do a SAVE AS and give it a meaningful name. Now go to your History Pallete and step back to before you cropped. This will bring back the original scan of all the tickets. Now crop another, do a SAVE AS, and so on.

Thank for the tip, I noticed when I scan into photoshop elements ( my epson scans into it through import) & save my files, & then look them up in windows fax & picture viewer, for color space, it reads; uncalibrated color, does this matter if the scans are uncalibrated color? how do I get a color space & which one should I use? sRGB or Adobe RGB?

you'll need to refer to the documentation that came with your scanner regarding which color spaces your scanner uses. Adobe RGB has a wider color gamut than sRGB. sRBG is more universal. For ticket stubs, I don't see that it really matters.
I would suggest that you get a book on color management and color spaces. That would go a long way toward answering many of the questions you have. Look for books by Dan Margulis, Tim Grey, Martin Evening and others.
Also, I don't know if Windows fax & picture viewer is the best app. to look at file data (like EXIF data or IPTC). Doesn't Elements have the File Info box (File>File Info)?

I have tried adjusting color spaces with my scanner, & when I added Adobe RGB space in windows & configured it in the epson configuration, it only kept the space for one scan, I would go back & try to change it to sRGB for something else, & the options box would be greyed out, so I could not choose a color space again. I am on a computer with multiple screen names, had done this on my screen name. went to another creen name & the same thing happened. I tried e-mailing epson support about this & in the end they could not help me. I am running windows XP home edition, service pack 2 with 3 screen names/user accounts. I have tried downloading newest drivers & updates from epson to no avail.

Google is reported to have spent millions of dollars on its Street View project. Roy Ragsdale, a student at West Point, has done a pretty nice job of putting together a portable panorama camera setup that includes GPS and Google Earth file output for under $300, using exclusively open source tools.
Anyone who has ever tried to combine open source software with off-the-shelf hardware knows that a lot of challenges can arise. Does my version of Linux have drivers for this USB camera chipset? Can I use the video camera with software that expects still images? Can my Linux box talk to this GPS receiver? Roy has done the heavy lifting by determining a valid combination of hardware and software to achieve a successful panorama. I find it kind of ironic that Roy envisioned this sort of first-person perspective device to be used in combat, while I see it being ideal to be used in protests. In either case, it fits the purpose of his class, which is called "disruptive technologies."
This list shows not only the software that was used to capture the images from the webcams, but also the data flow from beginning to end. Roy needed to make some changes to luvcview to pull still images while in video mode. He also had a Python script that was collecting the images from each camera and writing them to a file. It would be nice to see his code.
Despite Roy not making his Python script and patches available, he did a great job of describing his setup. I expect to see a lot more DIY open source panorama setups in the near future, as Mr. Ragsdale tries to shrink his design down to the point where it can be worn in a headband.
[via IEEE Spectrum]
This is amazing work for an undergraduate student, especially when you consider all the stuff that West Point cadets must do outside of the classroom.
By now this kid is probably an Army officer. I hope they can find a way to take full advantage of his talents.
I can't think of any reason why he would not make his python scripts available - especially when you see how much he seemed to have embraced open source apps. If he sees this comment he might consider hanging his scripts on a publically accessible website.
Great tool for real estate agents creating virtual tours of their communities. Current virtual tours can be found at www.virtualhomes.com
Wow this is pretty amazing! I am sure the kid is going very well for himself. I am a Realtor and this would really come in handy. Virtual tours and of course the Google street view have become really popular with consumers who are trying to decide on a town and a neighborhood. I know when I am selling Franklin MA Real Estate having something like this to distinguish my marketing efforts would be fantastic! Even better would be having a download onto my website at www.sellmyhomeinmetrowestma.com
This has got my brain spinning right now with possibilities. I've been looking for something to do to separate my web site from the competition at
I dont get this, and Im sorry for that but what use is this except to record as you drive from place to place. Which you can do with a simple cam and the time to actually record it.
usually people dont come right out and say this about the things they see, so Im the dumb one here I guess. But I am reallyat a loss for any use beyond Real Estate. However I can think of a few things RE marketers can do with it. It would very much make a virtual tour that much better. Or is that the only use?

I re-assembled the other day. Will be giving it the soak test tonight or tomorrow, and then getting it back in the water and scratching it up shortly.
I decided not to clear coat it, as I'd like to simply spray over any of the zillions of scratches I inflict on this thing - and I was only able to find clear coat in flat or gloss.... its currently finished in Satin.
So we'll see. Who knows.
These are so easy to put back together now, having done this so many times. Its always arresting how smooth the trigger rod becomes after I hit it with a little 600 gr Wet Dry paper and a little silicone spray.... so smoooooooov to shift!
I do know it looks better, it will fight corrosion better and this is about the last thing I've had to do to a scooter short of winding my own motor - as I've done about everything else there is to do to a scooter: from pounding out the stanchions, shift rod and replacing the cowling after running it over with my truck, to replacing motor and bearings after a couple of floods, shaft seals, installing, shaping, diving and evaluating every propeller available, re-soldered electronics, re-installed melted fuse holders, field repairs of every piece of the back end, re-programmed electronics and so so much more.
I know my way around X-scooters much better than I do my regulators, my washer and dryer or my truck.
Thanks everyone for the great tips and tricks along the way. I love this place.
Here's the finished product.

Sarasota Opera tenor to sing National Anthem at Orioles/Rays opener
Date: February 24, 2010
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
From the time he was a child, Joshua Kohl dreamed of becoming a baseball player. But, despite his big dream, Kohl took to opera singing instead.
On March 3, Kohl will get the opportunity to combine his two talents when he sings the national anthem at the Baltimore Orioles' first spring training game of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays at Ed Smith Stadium, in Sarasota.
Kohl, a tenor, is currently singing the pricipal role of Tamino in Sarasota Opera's production of "The Magic Flute." The Chicago White Sox fan played ball throughout his youth and for his high school varsity team.
"I love baseball," Kohl said in a prepared statement. "I used to collect baseball cards with my father. When I was a kid, I used to say, 'I want to be a baseball player when I grow up.'"
Kohl was so into the sport that during his senior year, he made the decision to forego the high school musical just to play on the team. He figured he'd be singing for the rest of his life, but this would be his last chance to play baseball.
Baseball and opera are a family affair in the Kohl household. His wife, Sarah Asmar, a soprano, Boston Red Sox fan and studio artist at Sarasota Opera this season, has sung the National Anthem at Fenway Park.
The game is set for 1:05 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, at Ed Smith Stadium, in Sarasota.

Having watched a video of some spuds struggling to find a highlight to their 'best ever team' season, I started to ponder which were the highlights of my Arsenal season. As I went back through the games, I realised that, even though this was a big dipper of a ride, with lurching troughs and exultant peaks, there were so many truly memorable moments this season I could have chosen.
5-3 at the Bridge
A game with so many highlights, but the king of the chavs munching turf for our 4th goal sticks out for me. This clip doesn't show the goal perfectly but I love Cashley in the foreground and the Gooner faithful in the background.

Penguin's Progress: Hacking an Industry
In September, I suggested that the real Linux "threat"—the true course of World Domination—was not an epic battle between Linux and Windows, but the quiet transformation of the whole software industry from one known mostly for its vendors to one known mostly for its builders.
Since then, usage for the verb build and the noun builder has shot up. True, web work has always had its construction and real estate metaphors: we build or develop a site with an address or a location. But, to borrow another real estate metaphor, the ground is beginning to swell. In fact, it feels like there might be a volcano under there.
One harbinger is Borland (known less well these days as Inprise, or Borland/Inprise, or something like that). The company already had Builder-branded tools (J Builder, C++ Builder) when it detected the obvious fact that the server side of the Web was being built by a huge and growing number of Linux hackers. So the Borland folks thought they'd do a little research. "Would Linux developers like some Borland tools for Linux?", they asked on a half-dozen popular Linux-related web sites. The answer was a word balloon big enough to fill the sky. Twenty-four thousand programmers spoke with one voice, "Yes!" Significantly, most of those speaking called Windows their current development platform. (Read more about it in this month's "upFRONT" section.)
Even CNET's Builder.com site and Builder.com.live! trade show, for all their Windows defaults (they still ghetto Linux discussions into a "Project Heresy" section) can't ignore developments that are manifest in their own discussion groups: there are more than a thousand posts, talking about the two most recent Red Hat versions.
The real magma in this volcano is demand. Inprise/Borland CEO Dale Fuller says:
The whole business world is moving to the Net. The new skyline of business is being built on the Web. And constructing it will take an enormous amount of work. Lots of builders will need lots of tools and construction materials, not to mention architectural blueprints. That's our business, and we think it's a good one to be in.
Look at the numbers. According to International Data Corp., businesses bought $80.4 billion US worth of goods and services over the Web in 1999, and consumers spent another $31 billion US. IDC expects those numbers to reach $1.1 trillion US and $177.7 billion US by 2003—increases of 1,418% and 574%, respectively. That's in cash money—for real stuff. Remember how the big revenue model for the Web was going to be advertising? Well, that will explode too, but to "just" $33 billion US in 2003, IDC says.
Now think about the infrastructure involved here. Huge doesn't cover it. Those numbers are just for e-commerce. What's it going to take to build out the infrastructure behind all that? We know it'll take two things for sure: Linux and Apache—two well-proven building materials. Of course, Windows 2000 will also be involved. There are just too many people already constructing this new skyline with Microsoft tools and building materials. The difference is that the builders themselves help improve Linux, Apache and other open-source products. They can't do the same for Microsoft.
One developer put it to me this way:
When I'm building a skyscraper, I want to know there's rebar in the concrete. With Linux, I know. With Microsoft, I don't. In fact, NT's memory leaks prove to me there isn't rebar in there. Since I have to work with NT for political reasons, I just cope with it. But I know if we could see the source, we could probably fix the problem pretty fast.
It's a subtle thing, but I feel the center of gravity in the software industry starting to shift from platforms and applications to tools and building materials. Or, as Eric Raymond likes to put it, from sale value to use value. The irony is, use value helps make a bigger overall industry.
So the next question is: If the software industry is going to turn into another construction industry, what becomes of Microsoft? To help find that answer, let's ask: who is the Microsoft of the construction industry?
Is it Home Depot? With more than $8 billion US in 1999 sales, Home Depot is the "big box" store for the do-it-yourself business, and a "category killer" for hardware stores. But technically, it's a retail business.
The biggest home builder in the U.S. is Centex, with more than $5 billion US in 1998 sales. Behind Centex are Pulte and Kauffman & Broad, both in the $2.5 billion US range. But none of those companies are household names. Equally unfamiliar is Japan's Shimizu, which outweighs all three American leaders. Even less memorable (and pronounceable) is ABB Asea Brown Boveri of Switzerland, which had nearly $31 billion US in 1998 sales. That's not only bigger than all those other construction companies, but far ahead of Microsoft, which had less than $20 billion US in the same year.
The big difference, of course, is that Microsoft's earnings—its profits—approached $8 billion US, while ABB Asea Brown Boveri barely passed $1.3 billion US. At almost 97%, Microsoft's gross profit margin was well ahead of the industry average of 82%, and more than double the average for the eight thousand members of the New York Stock Exchange. Its net profit margin (39.4%) also more than doubled its own industry (15.8%) and was more than seven times larger than the average for all of Wall Street (5.8%).
As I write this, Microsoft has a market value of around half a trillion dollars. Compare that to General Motors, which is number one on the Fortune 500 in 1998 sales of more than $161 billion US, but which earned less than $3 billion US in the same year and currently has a market value of less than $50 billion US. Microsoft is simply the largest, most profitable and most durable member of the world's most profitable major industry.
Let's put this in perspective. The total worldwide packaged software market—Microsoft's category—was $135 billion US in 1998, and growing at a 13.6% rate. But the worldwide outsourcing services market was nearly as big: $100 billion US in 1998 and growing at about the same rate. The computer services industry was $90 billion US in 1997. And we're not even touching a raft of other hefty categories: enterprise resource planning, security, database management, transaction systems and so on.
Meanwhile, the construction industry in the U.S. alone is $619 billion US. Yet the leading builder, Centex, accounts for less than 1% of the whole industry. That's because most of the industry is local. "Compared to the globalization driving much of the construction industry, the localized nature of home building seems almost quaint. Small local contractors still account for four-fifths of all domestic residential construction", writes Hoovers (http://www.hoovers.com/). And that's just counting the current job-holders. The do-it-yourself business is also huge, as the success of Home Depot shows.
And that brings us back to what's really going on.
Linux and other open-source products—along with constantly improving commercial tools from the likes of Borland/Inprise—are equipping software architects, developers and solution builders to take over the whole software business. If it follows the lead of the construction business, the result will be a much bigger pie for everybody to split, including Microsoft.
I think we'll see the software industry start to explode on the same curve, and on the same scale as the last "free" development everybody but the hackers ignored—the Internet.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Comment posted Campbeltown rumours about Wind Towers declared unfounded by John Sinclair.
watched the clip, still pro wind power, you are highlighting a very valid point about subsidies and I too get annoyed about those figures and alarmed that the pro wind power can not be more transparent about true costs. On a bigger scale, if we did not spend money on WMD and wage illegal wars, we could use all that resource and technology to give us all a better lifestyle, even sort out our roads and ferries in Argyll.
John Sinclair also commented
- I do agree with wind power has a place in our energy production, and manufacturing the plant in Scotland is worthwhile employment.
BUT just because I am pro wind power, I still listen to the other people views, and accept both sides are giving out misleading information to undermine the other side. Now what's worthwhile employment, not everyone can be employed full time in the manufacturing of windmills, so what are other types of worthwhile employment. Is it better to have one big employer or many small employment opportunities. Should we optimise the resources or maximise the output. Too often an argument is over single issues, should we not be looking at the whole picture. - I may not agree with your view on wind power, it does have a roll to play in power generation.
Totally agree with "let's focus on worthwhile employment", I am sure there will be a debate about what "worthwhile employment" is, but it would be a step forward for sustainable living, whats sustainable living. - The logistic of moving commodities is a a very important issue, the lack of investment for the maintenance of the roads is an issue along with the size of commercial vehicles using them. S.White was just highlighting this in his/her way. We all need an income to support our selves, Scotland has a vast potential, harness that and we could all have a good lifestyle.

It is a very serious acusation to accuse people of behaving like the Nazis. My mother lived through WWII and many of the boys she grew up with at her school left to fight the Nazis and many didn't come back. Recently I spent an evening with her tracing all their graves, so I do not think what she said was done lightly but with a heavy heart. I also stated that the Palestinians are treated badly by other Arabs, this was witness by someone who I have known all my life. The way in which the Palestinians are being treated is wrong, no spin or lies can change the truth, open your eyes.

The never-ending quest for perfect intake air flow…
This bike, which I called "Devil May Care", was a fun one for me. I played it very safe with the overall shapes, which was hard for me to do coming straight off the "Rusty Buzzard" build. Ironically, this was one of my favorites. This bike had a few noteworthy developments, function wise: One was the general complexity of the front end, which I had never attempted to build before. I naturally made it extremely strong and overbuilt, complete with all billet stainless rocker assemblies with needle bearings in 6 places!
The other was a double action clutch. I hate automatic clutches or transmissions of any kind on a motorcycle. However, I hadn't yet spent a lot of time riding jockey shift and (since I didn't run a front brake), I wanted a "crutch" of some kind to help me. Obviously, my fear was missing neutral on an uphill stop, not be able to take my foot off the clutch, and have my brake foot on the ground, therefore rolling backwards down the hill.
I made the rear brake work conventionally, but the clutch could be over-pushed and also engage the rear brake, via a crossover tube and a second "plunger".
My new riding procedure was: slow down with right foot, while using clutch casually on the left. Upon slow speeds, forget the right side- just over- push the clutch pedal hitting the rear brake. That way my right foot could be on the ground, and my left foot doing both clutch and brake together. Upon pulling ahead, I just let off the clutch and I pulled away- never needing my right foot to help hold me as I ascended. I could have used the left hand assembly by itself and not used a right brake pedal at all- except for the need to brake over the clutch during normal riding. get it?
The bike turned out to be very easy to ride; I would say even easier than a stock Harley. It also ran great and had an amazing Pradke paint job.
Mark your calendars, April 20th – may 11th 2012 New Haven. I will be showing my work at Reynolds Fine Art at 96 Orange Street New Haven, CT.
Opening Friday night the 20th from 5-8 pm. Car/ Bike show Saturday the 21st from 12- 8 pm.The show also includes the work of legendary vehicle photographer Bruno Ratensperger, as well as an entire garage full of exotic and antique cars (the subjects of Brunos photography). Now here is the cool part- the entire street will be closed to public vehicle traffic on the 21st. There will be exceptions though, If you have an antique/ exotic/ chopped car and or motorcycle, you may be allowed on the closed street to park near the gallery. However, who gets to park in front of the gallery is entirely up to Myself, Bruno, and the staff of Renolds Fine Art. I don't want any disappointment when we politely ask you to park your pro-street-airbrush-barge in the next lot over. Same goes for deafening boss-hosses, giant trikes, import cars with fart pipes, etc. There will be some food, but I don't have all the details yet. We are shooting for a scene somewhat like the Brooklyn Invitational, to give you some idea…. I am exited because New Haven hasn't had any bike/car related events in a long time- hopefully this will be a success and become annual! I will post reminders as it gets closer, as well as any new info. Please come show support! -L
I made this for a customer who had a knuckle with longer than stock cylinders. This obviously made the intake spigots farther apart. Here's how you fix it..

Bad "Dream Act", back again
You can't keep a bad idea down, at least not in Washington. The whole amnesty thing is like some creature from a bad horror movie that you just can't kill. To make things worse, this time they're trying to tie it on as a amendment to the Defense authorization bill. Amazing. (well, not really). Check this out:
A policy analyst at a prominent conservative think tank says amnesty legislation being offered by Senate Democrats in the form of an amendment to the Defense bill -- may be dubbed the "Dream Act," but in reality it is a "nightmare."The measure sponsored by Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) would provide amnesty to any illegal alien who claims to have entered the U.S. before the age of 16. It would also award illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded in-state tuition at American colleges and universities. ...
Under this proposed amendment, there would be no age limit. ...someone who is 65 years of age could claim that they were brought to the U.S. while they were less than 16 years of age. ...
...the "usual suspects" are behind this so-called "Dream Act", the Council of La Raza and other such pro-amnesty groups.
From NumbersUSA:
The floor vote on the amendment containing the DREAM Act amnesty - new number: SA 2919 - may occur tomorrow. It will take 41 NO votes to kill this amnesty. Currently, only 20 Senators are telling their constituents that they will vote NO on the amnesty.
But it's up to us to try and KEEP this thing dead. Call your Senators and let them know how you feel. The Senate Switchboard number is 202-224-3121. Call now!

With the constant barrage of Humble Bundle-like deals, I've developed a bad habit of buying discounted indie games and only playing them for an hour or two -- if at all. Although I feel guilty when that happens with pricey AAA releases, my conscience is usually clear when it comes to indie packs. Sure, they're absurdly cheap and the money generally goes toward a good cause anyway, but the real reason is because many of them have spectacular soundtracks that are worth several times the asking price of only a buck or two per game.
Indie games have been a great way for me to discover new music, particularly instrumentals, which is what I prefer listening to while working. It's hard to name one soundtrack as my favorite, but I've really enjoyed the music from Capsized, Sol Survivor, VVVVVV, Super Meat Boy, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, The Binding of Isaac, FTL: Faster Than Light, Hotline Miami and many others, including big budget games such as the Splinter Cell, Hitman, Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect series. What are your favorite game soundtracks -- indie or otherwise?
Evil Genius http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFWK3IuwXnU
Elder Scrolls
and fallout 3 great gnr music even better with the extended mod
Ragnarok Online. Amazing + extremely nostalgic.
Elder scrolls, specifically oblivion and the super meat boy sound track. It gets real when the rapture dark world music comes on.
killing floor has an awesome gaming sound track, but not good enough to listen to in my spare time.
EDIT: and how could I have forgotten Diablo 1 tristram music..
Civilization 5 has beautiful ambient music.
I love all of the Final Fantasy series soundtracks. I think I own them all too ._.
Just a few:
Baldur's Gate 1&2
Max Payne 2
Halo 1&2
Deus Ex HR
Black Mesa
And ? C&C Tiberian Sun
So many great soundtracks out there.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Deus Ex 1's soundtrack, my favourite for sure.
Also Black Mesa, Frozen Synapse, Samarost 2 and Faster than Light have epic indie soundtracks.
Okami Soundtrack - Reset (Thank you)
Pretty amazing and beautiful.
Final fantasy
Final Fantasy VIII.
It's just simply the best soundtrack I've ever heard for a game.
There are several for me but I want to give a particular shout out to 'KIng's Bounty: The Legend'. The music was epic and perfect for every particular area you traveled in. It really felt like I was actually there.
Film composer Brian Tyler (http://briantyler.com/Site/Home.html) has some plenty of awesome soundtrack in video games such as Need for Speed The Run, Modern Warfare 3, and Far Cry 3. So whatever he compose is going to be my favorite. I'm a fan of indie-rock.
If most games lived up to their soundtracks I'd be a happy man - so many great ones, a lot of which were MIDI/MOD types (Ultima 3, Star Control II, Blood, XCOM, etc.) More recently I've liked Burnout II, Left 4 Dead and a few others. Anything by Jeremy Soule or Jesper Kyd is typically outstanding. TES: Oblivion might rate as my favorite..it just doesn't get old, which is kind of astounding. I also liked much of WoW's music.
Rainbow 6: Rouge Spear about 12 years ago. Was playing on a Pent II 400 mhz with 512mb of ram, 16mb video card lol. Seems like forever ago. Was good music. I forget the composer.
Those final fantasy in original playstation console, gta vice city, nfs shift 2, gran turismo and metal gear series.
Zelda, although just about any collection of Zelda songs is good.
Defense Grid: The Awakening has some great music in it. In fact, I have several cuts from that game on my workout mp3 player.
Oblviion is my all time favorite and the donkey kong country games are pretty good. Portal 2 has some good things thrown in there as far as a remember. Halo1- 3 has some nice pieces, everything after that in halo is just meh and generic.
New farcry3 soundtrack is very enjoyable.
Mafia II. Driving around the city in a 1950s Corvette (called a "Frigate" in the game) while listening to old rock & roll songs by Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. Great slice of post-World War II American life.
For me it would be Uncharted 1 & 2 and NFS Most Wanted.
For console its SSX: Tricky or FF7
For PC its Settlers 3 or Diablo
The ethereal soundtrack from Homeworld.
Deus Ex 1 wins by far, I love the music in it.
At second place comes the music to Settlers II (Yea, released in 1996, I still play it sometimes in Dosbox)
I also really like the music in World of Warcraft, I don't play it any longer but I do have the music on my playlist and it brings a smile to my face when I play it
Halo 1 and 2; Suicide Mission from ME2

It might be 15 years in the making, but Alemany will not only return to the Div. III girls basketball state final, the Warriors will get a rematch with Sacred Heart Cathedral of San Francisco at 2 p.m. today at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento.
Alemany (31-5), which lost 67-54 to the Fightin' Irish in the championship game in 1998, is seeking its first state title and looking to follow the Warriors boys team, which captured a Div. III state crown last season by defeating Sacred Heart Cathedral 71-67.
"We've got a great opportunity and we're excited about it. This has been their biggest motivation all season because they want to finish it off," Alemany coach Bryan Camacho said. "As long as we stay focused and remain humble and stick to the game plan, we have the chance to do something special."
Camacho is looking to become the area's first girls basketball coach to not only win two state championships, but to do so with different programs.
Harvard-Westlake boys coach Greg Hilliard and former Campbell Hall boys coach Terry Kelly are the only other local individuals to capture multiple state basketball titles.
Bellarmine-Jefferson became the area's first girls basketball team to win a state title in 2009 when Camacho led the Guards to a 55-47 victory over Pinewood of Los Altos Hills. Alemany is trying to join Harvard-Westlake as the only area schools to win state championships in boys and girls basketball.
Sierra Canyon (26-9) will try
"I know they're well-coached and they're disciplined and obviously they're playing well at the right time," Trailblazers first-year coach Alicia Komaki said. "We had such an emotional game against Horizon (in the regional final), so it was important for us to refocus and realize that we still had more work to do. But the best part about that is that we've had one more week to be around each other and one more game to play together because they didn't want it to end yet."
Komaki is looking to secure her third consecutive state championship after being an associate head coach at Mater Dei the past two seasons when the Monarchs captured back-to-back Div. I titles.
Sierra Canyon is looking to win the school's second state title in any sport following a Div. IV football bowl championship in 2011.
Pinewood (23-8), whose only loss in a state championship came against Bell-Jeff four years ago, joins Sacred Heart Cathedral (25-6) in making its seventh finals appearance.
Youth will be served
Sierra Canyon and Pinewood have both relied heavily on underclassmen in order for the Div. V showdown to materialize.
The Trailblazers boast a strong sophomore class with Kennedy Burke, Gabi Nevill and Cheyanne Wallace to go along with junior Zoe Goss and freshman Shivon Ganther, supported by the veteran presence of senior Jorden Sneed.
Pinewood's lone senior is Angelina Mapa, with junior Leeana Bade and sophomore Marissa Hing combining for 35 points in the Panthers' 48-36 victory against Eastside College Prep of Palo Alto in the regional final.
Alemany has benefited from the senior leadership of Clarissa Larios and Leslie Lopez-Wood, but has also received significant contributions during its 14-game winning streak from juniors Hannah Johnson and Adaora Obi, sophomores Alayah Byers and Breanna Calhoun, and freshman Genessa Bedoya.
Sacred Heart Cathedral, making its first finals appearance since winning three consecutive state titles from 2006-08, is led by sophomore forward Ashanti Coleman, along with juniors Kairee Howard and GeAnna Summers-Luaulu. Seniors Briannah Smith and Jerrieza Enriquez anchoring the Fightin' Irish backcourt for first- year coach LyRyan Russell.
