As more organizations transition to the cloud, new opportunities abound for IT service providers such as SHD (Solution d'Hébergement Durable), a subsidiary of CFI Group, located in the heart of the Rhône-Alpes region of France. Having noticed that hosting and cloud services accounted for 30 percent of their business in 2013, they decided to build a breakthrough data center that positioned their company as a major regional player in this space.
This required expansion of their support capabilities, specifically in relation to helping customer transitions to the cloud from start to finish. And with hard budget constraints, the CFI Group wanted an affordable solution that allowed them to scale up as needed to meet growth demands. They turned to Schneider Electric™ to build a "smart" data center based on a modular approach.
Modularity, efficiency, and high availability
Schneider Electric worked alongside SHD at every stage of the project, from design to final delivery, to build a new generation data center that reinvents the concept of modularity. "The modular concept, embodied by the bricks and air conditioning supply that will be added depending on the needs of future IT systems, is particularly suited to our business model and was the basis for the design of the data center," Sacha Rosenthal says, President of the CFI Group.
Eco-performance and high availability were equally important requirements. So the Schneider Electric solution included innovative technologies that enabled the SHD Data Center to:
"Schneider Electric modular solutions offer real value because they allow us to respond very precisely to the needs of our customers," said Jacques Perrochat, Solution Data Center Director France at Schneider Electric.

Illinois: Mentally ill and aged residents a bad mix?
Illinois: Mentally ill and aged residents a bad mix?
The state is considering improving safeguards but also sweeping reforms to prevent dangerous mentally ill patients from harming fellow residents in nursing homes.A Nursing Home Safety Task Force convened for the first time last month. State officials talked about creating a new class of facilities devoted to housing high-risk psychiatric patients, as well as community-based mental health alternatives.
The task force was established in response to a Chicago Tribune series about violence in nursing homes. It detailed how mentally ill criminals allegedly have assaulted, raped and even murdered elderly and disabled residents.The task force has set a deadline of Jan. 31 to report its recommendations to the governor. It also plans to conduct unannounced site visits to nursing homes and set up a Web site.

Another month has slipped away, which means it has to be time for the ever-popular monthly report: the post that saves you reading the rest of my nonsense.
More random fluctuation this month:
March 3: 222.8 pounds (15 stone 12.8 pounds, 101.1 kg) (I was away the first couple of days)
March 31: 217.3 pounds (15 stone 7.3 pounds, 98.6 kg)
That's a quite noticeable drop of 5.5 pounds (2.5kg), which beats last month's effort.
Generally being quite good, especially at lunchtime. Oh, and I'm drinking less wine, which might account for something or other…
Lots of walking while I was in Manchester, and four quite reasonable weekend walks.
This report brings the monthly total to 42, which is, of course, the perfect number.
I'm working on learning to play my guitar. More on that at some point…

International attention on the future developments of the Northern Sea Route is rapidly increasing. It was only June 2015, when "the Russian government released the Russia's Integrated Development Plan for the Northern Sea Route 2015-2030. The plan stressed the importance of providing safer and more reliable navigation on Northern Sear Route (NSR) for maritime export of Russian natural resource materials but also the strategic importance of NSR for Russian national security. The plan was also to increase international transit cargo transportation on NSR in partnership with Asian countries and in particular with China" (The Maritime-Executive). Since than, Russia has been working constantly to make this happen. Just few days ago the Russian reported that "Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has instructed the Transport Ministry to estimate traffic and improve the operation of Northern Sea Route administration."I've instructed the Transport Ministry to estimate freight volumes and improve Northern Sea Route Administration," he was quoted by TASS as saying at a meeting of the State Commission on Arctic Development. Rogozin recalled that he had previously issued instructions to consider ways of improving the administration's work, in particular, by more closely involving it in the development the route's economic potential"(www.arctic.ru). In December 2015, Russian authorities proposed China to participate in constructing railways to transport cargo to ports on the Arctic or Northern Sea Route" (Arctic Portal).
Yesterday it was the turn of the Japanese delegation, as reported by the Northern Sea Route Authority Office:
Northern Sea Route Information Office, 09.03.2016- On 9th of March NSR IO in Murmansk had a meeting with Dr. Natsuhiko Otsuka, Manager, R&D, Management Planning Department in North Japan Port Consultant, Dr. Shinichi Ishii, Senior consultant of Nomura Research Institute and representatives of Nomura Research Institute in Moscow branch – Andrei Rodionov, Director of Consulting Division, and Igor Nemtsov, Associate Consultant.
Under the discussion were future development and competitiveness of the NSR. The main topics concerned cargo base, NSR search and rescue system and necessary preconditions for building of ice class carriers to be used in transit traffic between Europe and Asia.
The parties agreed about further cooperation in joint research work in the future. After this visit, the delegation made way to Murmansk Fishery Port and then to Administration of Murmansk region.

Day 6 of Tim's Creative Chemistry explores Distress Markers and is more of an opportunity to play around with this fabulous product. I created two tags using my favourite techniques. All the products I have used are available from The Stamp Attic.
Papillon set using the Markers direct to the stamp and also watercolouring with them. I have also applied frayed burlap Distress Ink in the background and flicked with water. A Philosophy Tag attached with a Swivel Clasp has been added along with a pearl bauble and coordinated ribbon.
Alpha Cards
folded in half and stapled to the bottom of my tag, colouring with a
little Distress Ink to blend with the background of my tag.
Natures Discovery set uses the brushless watercolour technique with the Distress Markers.
Archival Ink and coloured with wild honey. I have also added some Lavish Trimmings coloured with Distress Stain wild honey.
Tattered Pinecone die from Sticky Back Canvas which I adhered to card stock before cutting; I love the added texture this gives. I've added a piece of washer from the Washer Border Strip die along with some cord tied in a bow. To complete I have added the sentiment from Tim's Mini Muse set.
Thanks for stopping by, I will be back with DAY 7 tags next week. Tracy x x

text: WASHINGTON --Was it a snub, or wasn't it? That's the question on the presidential campaign trail Tuesday after an awkward moment for Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at Monday night's State of the Union Address. Presidential campaigns are filled with millions of words - written, spoken, shouted, whispered, live on videotape. But sometimes a silent gesture can tell an equally compelling story, and it's usually subject to multiple interpretations, which is the case with that awkward moment that Clinton thinks may have been an unnecessary and inconsiderate snub. Clinton was about to sit down in a room at an out-of-the-way hotel in Washington, D.C. for satellite interviews with reporters from ten Super Tuesday states and a chat with one ABC7 reporter from Chicago. The message is positive and upbeat, except for one thing. When the trail of superficial schmoozing led to fellow senator Ted Kennedy, who endorsed Obama Monday, Clinton and Kennedy exchanged pleasantries, but Obama ignored her. "I reached my hand out in unity, and my hand is still reaching out," Clinton said. "Somebody asked me a question as Senator Clinton was reaching for me. And we have very cordial relations off the floor and on the floor. I waved at her as I was coming into the senate chamber," Obama said. Obama talked about the awkward moment as he headed for a visit to his grandfather's hometown in Kansas. But Kennedy's endorsement of Obama was a snub, and a painful one, for Clinton and her husband, Bill, who are long-time friends and colleagues of the Massachusetts senator. Kennedy's rhetoric was harsh as he talked about what's wrong with the Clinton brand of politics. "Barack Obama will turn the change on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion," Kennedy said Monday. "I allow others to be the pundits and commentators, but I have 35 years of producing positive change for Americans," said Clinton. At this point, Clinton is leading in the polls in most of the big states, of course, not in Illinois and not in a couple of southern states. Obama has launched a major ad war. He's got ads featuring Caroline Kennedy, campaigning with Ted Kennedy and those states do figure to tighten up. Ex-president Bill Clinton will be in Chicago Tuesday night for a fundraiser downtown, which is expected to pull in a couple hundred thousand dollars for his wife's campaign but he said he will have nothing to say to the media. He's been involved in so much controversy of late, it's likely he wants to avoid reporters because things have ended up looking badly for him and sometimes for Hilary Clinton.

Film & Discussion: I am Not Your Negro »
Wednesday, September 20
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. @ Bonnie AuditoriumThis event is free and open to the public. Join SURJ NRV for a viewing and discussion of "I am Not Your Negro," a 2016 film based on the work of author James Baldwin. "In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript. Now, in his incendiary new documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin's original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for."

Eco-ruin caused the fall of Bronze Age Argaric civilisationNovember 15th, 2007 - 5:49 pm ICT by admin
London, November 15 (ANI): A new study has suggests that the fall of the Bronze Age Argaric people in south-east Spain, Europe's driest area, was caused by the exhaustion of precious natural resources resulting from the early civilisation.
The researchers behind the study say that data provides evidence for cultural collapse in ancient times caused by humans meddling with the environment.
They have revealed that their findings are based on pollen preserved in a peat deposit located in the mountains of eastern Andalucia, Spain.
During the study, a sediment core from the Canada del Gitano basin high up in Andalucia's Sierra de Baza region was drilled.
The researchers say that studying the abundances of different pollen types and other indicators preserved in sedimentary deposits may help understand what kind of vegetation covered the area in ancient times.
By compiling a pollen sequence to see how vegetation changed over thousands of years, the researchers can obtain clues to how human settlement and climate affected ecosystems.
The Argaric culture, which emerged in south-eastern Spain 4,300 years ago, was one of the first in Western Europe to adopt bronze working. The ancient civilisation inhabited small, fortified towns.
However, according to the archaeological record, the culture mysteriously vanished about 3,600 years ago.
"Archaeologists are convinced that something happened in the ecological structure of the area just prior to the collapse of the Argaric culture. But we previously lacked a high-resolution record to support this," the BBC quoted Professor Jose Carrion of the University of Murcia as saying.
The study of the pollen sequence revealed significant amounts of charcoal about 4,200 years ago, just after the Argaric civilisation emerged. The authors say that this is a sign that Bronze Age people were setting fires to clear the forests for mining activities and grazing.
According to the study, the diverse forest ecosystem disappeared and was replaced by monotonous and fire-prone Mediterranean scrub about 3,900 years ago.
The researchers reckon that this ecological transformation might have taken place in little more than a decade. About 300 years after this transformation, the Argaric civilisation disappeared, they add.
Professor Carrion also acknowledges that climate played a part in bringing the Argaric civilisation to an end. He says that the conditions started to become progressively arid from about 5,500 years ago onwards, with forest cover and lake levels reducing significantly and plants adapting to dry conditions.
He, however, added: "The climatic influence began millennia prior to the appearance of the Argaric culture. It's not critical to the change in the landscape we see about 3,900-3,800 years ago. What appears to be critical is the evidence of burning, which in our opinion is man-made."
The findings were presented at the recent Climate and Humans conference in Murcia, Spain, and appear in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews. (ANI)

"I don't want to be tied with someone. I want to be set free with someone…" This is an ideology fast setting in among couples all over the world. Most of them have bucket list of places they need to travel alone or with their beloved. One such have-to-go place is Maldives, a place where God has secured the best of everything. Famous for its beaches, blue lagoons and extensive reefs, Maldives has become very popular among the couples and is considered as one of the dream honeymoon destinations. This exquisite island sets your spirit free and gives you the amazing combination to enjoy nature as well as to spend the most romantic moments of your life.
Maldives is one of the most stunning nation surrounded by Indian Ocean. It is a tropical nation and comprises of 26 ring-shaped atolls made up of more than 1,000 coral islands. The small picturesque islands with dense tropical vegetation including shrubs, flowering plants and tall coconut palms and surrounded by dazzlingly white beaches, sparkling lagoons exhibiting all shades of blue and green has acclaimed Maldives to be "The Paradise on Earth".
Being a tropical island, Maldives gives visitors a lot of option for water activities. Water sports such as diving, fishing, wakeboarding and windsurfing, snorkelling, scuba diving are the facilities which can be availed at most resorts. Morning fishing in Maldives is one of the most commonly experienced modes of sport. When the first rays of the tropical sunrise touch the sapphire waters of the Indian Ocean, the local Dhoni vessels set sail with fishing enthusiasts on board. Tourists enjoy the astounding marine vistas as they set off in the early hours of the morning. The Maldivian waters teem with fish and visitors can hope to catch unique specimens like barracuda, wahoo, rainbow fish, sailfish, swordfish, marlin and yellow fin tuna. The Bluetribe Moofushi diving centre is a famous one offering the best experience in terms of water sports activities, such as windsurfing, diving, snorkelling, kayaking, riding on catamarans/pedal boats, and many more activities. Moofushi is also known for the excursions where you can spot whale sharks, manta rays and a lot of fish from the shore.
When in Maldives, you should definitely opt for a one-day island tour to Fua Mulaku, Kudahuvadhoo, Mirihi Islands or Alimatha Island. Apart from soaking in the sapphire waters or sunbathing in the crystalline sands, you will find exotic tropical fruits and vegetables in the trips. You will come across unbelievably beautiful coral reefs of vivid colours found nowhere else. One such place is Banana Reef, which is the most sought out diving site in the Maldives. It is called Banana Reef because it has the shape of a banana that extends 300 meters from north to south. The major feature of the reef is its marine life, where you can find Napoleon Wrasse, Moray Eels and the rare Bannerfish. Manta Point is a diving area for the adventurous couples where you can enjoy seeing large numbers of manta rays being fed and cleaned by wrasses. You can swim with them and feed them plankton.
For the philosophical tourists, the Hukuru Miskiiy, also known as the Old Friday Mosque is a place to admire. It is the oldest mosque that can be found on the island. The interior of the mosque is superb, and its coral stone walls with carvings of different kinds of patterns and Arabic scripts is truly remarkable. It also houses tombs that have been erected for the memory of sultans, heroes and nobles. The calm and quiet place would be great for people to discover the Islamic culture the Maldivians follow. For the history admirers, the National Museum of Maldives gives a lot to explore. The building houses a lot of different kinds of historical artefacts that reflect the history of the country. The original museum was the old 3-story museum that is the only remaining part of the Maldivian Royal Palace. Another famous tourist attraction is the Male Fish Market where you can find almost any kind of fish. The market is very vibrant and colourful and is a great place to watch the life of Maldivian people up-close.
Maldivian nightlife tends to be on the calm side. Most of the resorts organise musical nights within the premises, near the ocean. It is an unforgettable experience listening to heavenly music and dancing away with your beloved beneath the stars, soaking in the beauty of ocean. Still, if you want to party the hard way, you can visit the chic Fifteen Below at W Retreat and Spa, the unique underwater Subsix nightclub at Per Aquum Niyama Resort or the Reethi Beach Resort, which enjoys a reputation of a socialites' magnet.
What good is a honeymoon without sharing tasty meals with your partner. Explore the Maldivian cuisine including skipjack tuna, little tunney, yellowfin tuna, frigate tuna, bigeye scad, wahoo and mahi-mahi. Coconuts are a major part of many dishes in Maldives and can be served in grated form, as milk or as coconut oil which is used to deep fry foods. Visitors should also make sure to eat in the cafes, known locally as hotau.
Honeymoon is the most special time of our life, and we definitely want to make each moment memorable. So while planning a honeymoon getaway, booking the appropriate hotel/resort is the most important task. Maldives provides plenty of beautiful resorts to choose from. These high-end resorts are dedicated for those couples who do not mind going slightly over-budget and choose to indulge only in the best.

Honeypots are a fake system residing in a companie's or organization's network, attracting attackers by emulating old and vulnerable software. If a Honeypot is accessed, all actions are logged and any submitted files are being stored on the host machine. The current Honeypot at CERN is deprecated and does not provide useful notifications. The task of this summer student project is to identify well maintained and up-to-date open source honeypots, test and configure them and finally deploy them to convincingly resemble a CERN host in order to collect information about potentially malicious activity inside the GPN.
This presentation guides listeners through all the stages of publication life cycle at CERN Document Server, from the ingestion using one of the various tools, through curation and processing, until the data is ready to be exported to other systems. It describes different tools that we are using to curate the incoming publications as well as to further improve the existing data on CDS. The second part of the talk goes through various challenges we have faced in the past and how we are going to overcome them in the new version of CDS.
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is producing 600 million collisions every second. Only 1 in a million collisions is interesting. It requires a fast programming language to analyze and filter this amount of data. Is Python such a language? No, it's not. Does it mean there is no place for Python in one of the largest scientific facilities in the world? Quite the contrary. The ease of use and a very low learning curve makes Python a perfect programming language for many physicists and other people without the computer science background. CERN does not only produce large amounts of data. The interesting bits of data have to be stored, analyzed, shared and published. Work of many scientists across various research facilities around the world has to be synchronized. This is the area where Python flourishes. And with CERN's pursuit to create and use open source software, many interesting projects were born. To facilitate the analysis of data, ROOT framework [https://root.cern.ch/] was created. It's a C++ framework focused on big data processing, statistical analysis, visualization and storage. It has been around for more than 20 years, but since nowadays more and more scientists have at least basic Python knowledge, the PyROOT project [https://root.cern.ch/pyroot] was born. PyROOT is a Python extension module that allows users to interact with ROOT from Python interpreter. It combines the ease of use of Python with the powerful capabilities of the ROOT framework. All the discoveries, small and big ones, results in thousands of publications that has to go through the whole publication workflow. For that purpose, a digital library framework called Invenio was created [http://invenio-software.org/]. It can be used to easily build your own fully customized digital library, institutional repository, multimedia archive, or research data repository on the web. Some examples of websites build with Invenio are: https://zenodo.org/, https://cds.cern.ch/ or https://analysispreservation.cern.ch/. Another of CERN's missions is to share the knowledge, and that can be done through various lectures, workshops and conferences. All those events can easily be organized with the help of Indico [http://indico-software.org/]. Indico comes also with a room booking module and can be easily integrated with various collaborative tools.
We present how a research data repository manager can build custom open data solutions to ingest, describe, preserve, and disseminate the open research environments, datasets and software using the Invenio digital library framework. We discuss a concrete use case example of the CERN Open Data and Zenodo services, describing technological challenges in preparing large sets of data for general public. We address the questions of efficient linking and sharing of large quantities of data without unnecessary duplication on the backend, the role of the file transfer protocols, as well as the means to visualise data to make it more accessible and interactive for general public. The technological challenges and discussed solutions can be applied to any research discipline outside the domain of particle physics.
CERN Document Server (CDS) is the CERN Institutional Repository, playing a key role in the storage, dissemination and archival for all research material published at CERN, as well as multimedia and some administrative documents. As the CERN's document hub, it joins together submission and publication workflows dedicated to the CERN experiments, but also to the video and photo teams, to the administrative groups, as well as outreach groups. In the past year, Invenio, the underlying software platform for CDS, has been undergoing major changes, transitioning from a digital library system to a digital library framework, and moving to a new software stack (Invenio is now built on top of the Flask web development framework, using Jinja2 template engine, SQLAlchemy ORM, JSONSchema data model, and Elasticsearch for information retrieval). In order to reflect these changes on CDS, we are launching a parallel service, CDSLabs, with the goal of offering our users a continuous view of the reshaping of CDS, as well as increasing the feedback from the community in the development phase, rather than after release.
LHCb has introduced a novel real-time detector alignment and calibration strategy for LHC Run 2. Data collected at the start of the fill will be processed in a few minutes and used to update the alignment, while the calibration constants will be evaluated for each run. This procedure will improve the quality of the online alignment. Critically, this new real-time alignment and calibration procedure allows identical constants to be used in the online and offline reconstruction, thus improving the correlation between triggered and offline selected events. This offers the opportunity to optimise the event selection in the trigger by applying stronger constraints. The required computing time constraints are met thanks to a new dedicated framework using the multi-core farm infrastructure for the trigger. The motivation for a real-time alignment and calibration of the LHCb detector is discussed from both the operational and physics performance points of view. Specific challenges of this novel configuration are discussed, as well as the working procedures of the framework and its performance.
The decay B → D*τν is sensitive to new couplings, like those generated by charged Higgses. A 3σ discrepancy between the measured rate and the SM prediction has been reported by Babar. The first measurement performed at a hadron collider is presented.
CERN Document Server, multimedia poster for CHEP2015 conference.
The poster presents the recent measurement of $\sin(2\beta)$ using $B^0$ decays to the $J/\!\psi K_\text{S}$ final state. The measurement is based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. To control penguin pollutions in the determination of $\sin(2\beta)$, $B_s^0$ decays to the same final state can be analysed. The results of the corresponding analysis are presented as well.
Indico was born as a European project. In 2004, CERN became the sole owner of the project and decided to further extend its capabilities, enabling CERN users to manage lectures and meetings as well. This allowed Indico to replace the 'CERN Agenda' application. In 2007, a Room Booking module was added, thus allowing CERN users to book their rooms on-line. Indico became, in 2009, CERN's hub for collaborative tools, empowering collaborations such as the LHC and its experiments with video conferencing and chatting capabilities. Since then, several other features have been developed, such as a full-fledged paper reviewing module for conferences and a powerful HTTP API.

What Are Pharmaceutical Sales After All?
When people talk about great career options, pharmaceutical sales career is placed in the top five. You must be wondering what these pharmaceutical sales are? After all, you need to know about the job before considering it as a career choice. Let me first define the pharmaceutical sales. It is the delivery of medicines developed with extensive research to the potential customers and this is carried out by the company's sales staff.
The pharmacy industry is based on the production
The pharmacy industry is based on the production and sales of new drugs. Extensive research leads to the development of new and improved medicines for different diseases. The next step is to bring these drugs to the market. It is important to note here that pharmaceutical firms do not deal directly with the consumer. Rather their customers are doctors, nurses, hospital authorities and store keepers. Now, let me tell you a very exciting thing about these pharmaceutical sales. These are the key activity for the firms and their success is largely dependent on the way they access their clients. For this reason, companies are very careful and considerate about their sales staff and try to pick the best people for this purpose. If you are looking forward to make a career in this industry, this is the best career choice. Pharmaceutical sales are carried out in a very detailed and programmed manner. The targeted area is divided into small territories that are assigned to the sales team members with a given target to achieve. They have to cover all or some of the physicians, hospital management authorities in their area and come up with a report on regular basis. This is a tough job isn't it? But, the incentives for this job are more attractive. You get a company car and many other facilities along with a competitive salary. The other best thing about these sales is that they occur in a very professional environment. The procedure is much different from the sales activities in other industries. Pharmaceutical sales are more about educating the clients i.e. physicians about the companies' products. In-depth information sharing and queries are a major part of these sales. The sales representative has to keep a record of the sales occurring in the area. To be honest, you do not need to know much about the pharmaceutical sales before you start your career. Only thing that matters is your personality and passion of the job. And rest will be learned at the job when you get started with it.

MANATEE -- Having Amazon locate its Ruskin warehouse just 10 miles from the port offers shipping opportunities for the port and economies of scale for any other big box retailers who want to build a nearby warehouse.
"It's a real opportunity for the port," said Rick McAllister, CEO of the Florida Retail Federation. "If I was them I'd be licking my chops."
Once big box retailers see the benefits of locating near a specific port -- and Amazon may be the lens through which they see those benefits -- then they begin analyzing those benefits for their own companies.
Port Manatee officials are encouraging that as they work to diversify business around the port, once known mainly as a hub for construction materials, produce and fertilizer.
In recent years the port, which is surrounded by 10,000 acres of vacant land, has been working to attract diverse businesses. They have brought in Air Products, an energy company, and Pasha Automotive, which has led to discussions with other automotive companies. They have already signed a deal with Tramontana which will bring the parts for its million-dollar cars through Port Manatee and then truck them to a factory nearby.
The port is perfectly situated geographically to pitch for a share of the shipping traffic generated by large commercial distribution centers, such as Amazon's new 1 million-square-foot facility planned for Ruskin, said Carlos Buqueras, the port's executive director.
"Amazon is the perfect poster child for others who say: 'Amazon did their homework, 10 miles from the port. Gee, it sounds like an opportunity for us to study what we can do here' for Walmart, Kmart, JCPenney, and others because they seem to go in herds, you know," said Buqueras.
Big box companies tend to cluster distribution centers in one area because they use the same shipping and trucking firms and have the same consumer base, Buqueras said.
Aaron Ellis, public affairs director for the American Association of Port Authorities, said Amazon is choosing its spot because it's at a great crossroads. It's near two ports, putting it "in the cat bird seat," Ellis said.
"Ports are always looking to reduce costs by increasing cargo volume," Ellis said. "When a port is able to get a big box retailer like Amazon as part of their mix, it's an opportunity to create economies of scale."
Having more retailers will mean that the port can attract more cargo ships and offer better shipping prices and faster delivery, making the port more attractive to other businesses, including other big box retailers.
"The port would be the attracter," McAllister said. "If the retailer decided to bring goods in through that port, that's a value. There has been a lot of work by port authorities to try to incentivize more retailers to come in through Florida ports rather than Savannah. When you do get a large retailer, the logistics work so that more retailers will be coming into that port."
Rick Blasgen, president and CEO of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, said Amazon chose its Ruskin location in part because of its access to two ports, Port Manatee, just 10 miles away, and the Port of Tampa.
He said Amazon was well aware of Port Manatee's expansion efforts, its proximity to railroads and the interstate before it decided on its location.
"Amazon is strategically placing their distribution centers around places where they can get to markets," Blasgen said, "When you think of a company like Amazon, they distribute things like wholesalers -- it's more than books and light bulbs -- and they have the scale to do it."
Because Amazon has a huge distribution arm, it is looking for a port that has the capacity to quickly load and unload cargo. If they can get the container off the ship, loaded quickly and to the warehouse, Blasgen said, that's going to be the port that gets the business.
Amazon is expected to create 1,000 jobs in the South Shore area of Ruskin near State Road 674 and Interstate 75, and invest up to $200 million in a massive state-of-the-art facility. Of the 1,000 jobs, 375 would be "higher-wage quality jobs," officials said, with average annual pay of $47,581. Amazon, based in Seattle, also recently confirmed plans for a second, similar warehouse, about an hour away at Lakeland in Polk County.
Carol Whitmore, the chairwoman of the Port Authority, said Port Manatee's proximity to I-75, a straight shot to Interstate 4, will give it an advantage over the Port of Tampa as it competes for Amazon's business.
Richard Sharpe, CEO of Competitive Insights, an Atlanta-based company that helps corporations find places perfect for handling freight, said companies are looking for more efficient ways to transport goods, while reducing their carbon footprint. That means companies are using West Coast ports less, as they ship goods to East Coast ports and truck them shorter distances or put them on trains headed to the Midwest.
"Intermodal traffic, moving by train is increasing tremendously," he said. "When you look at sustainability questions and the carbon footprint, rail becomes attractive."
McAllister said in Savannah there are about 15 million square feet of big box retailers near the port.
"They were not there 20 years ago," McAllister said. "That has made the port of Savannah the second largest on the East Coast."
That bodes well for Port Manatee.
"Amazon could have located in Jacksonville or Tampa," McAllister said. Being 10 miles from Port Manatee "has to make good sense for them logistically."

ASRock Rack 1U12LW-C2750 12-Bay Storage Server Review
Benchmarks - Multi-Client Test
The Intel NAS Performance Tool (NASPT) is an excellent way to determine NAS performance in a single user environment. Any review that only uses NASPT assumes that only a single computer will access the target NAS at one time. We took issue with this method of testing and spent over a year designing, building, programming, and finally validating the TweakTown Multi-Client Test.
The test uses Microsoft Office data recorded to traces and played back to the NAS from up to 120 client Windows 7 installations (clients). We record total throughput of all clients and average response time per client.
Over time, we'll populate the two multi-client charts with several NAS products from a span of categories. The products range from a dual Xeon server with two 10GbE to a two-bay NAS with a single gigabit Ethernet connection. The products will fall into their performance categories based on performance and not marketing material or opinion.
The 10GbE configuration delivers massive throughput with the 10 HDDs in RAID 5 and a single Seagate X210 SSD for cache in Windows Storage Server 2012 R2. The 8-core Avoton Atom processor has the processing power to let this configuration run at very high speeds.
The 1GbE configuration without a cache drive has a difficult time delivering the same throughput as the Linux based systems. We have four NAS in the lab now with Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 and all have the same issue in RAID 5 (single parity) compared to the Linux based systems.
The same is true in the latency results from the same test. Here, though, the ASRock 1GbE configuration actually manages to do a bit better than the Seagate 1U 8-drive configuration, but only from 64 clients to 120 clients. The 10GbE configuration delivers very low latency throughout the test, though.

ORLAND HILLS — Happy as they are that construction of Orland Hills' long-awaited senior/community center has begun, officials are not ready yet to heave a collective sigh of relief over the project.
"There were quite a few long, into-the-night discussions where we said, `Maybe this isn't a good idea right now,'" trustee Dave Diggs said, referring to setbacks that have plagued the undertaking. "I'm still a little apprehensive. It's not as far along as we want it to be."

POLL: Do You Shoot in RAW?
Article from Digital Photography School
Back in 2009 we asked dPS readers whether they shoot in RAW. Just over half of our readers indicated that they always did. Lets see if that result has changed with another poll:Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
This time around we've added a category for those of you who shoot in RAW and JPEG simultaneously as I know a number of our readers use that feature which is on many digital cameras today.

(Memphis) Dozens of Memphis police officers were off of the streets Wednesday and in the classroom.
They learned how to fight environmental crimes like illegal dumping and how to find the people doing it.
Take a drive around Memphis, and you will see the blight and other things making our city not so beautiful.
These crimes against the environment are not going unnoticed.
More than 60 officers sat sat in class Wednesday, learning how to spot these types of crimes and enforce the law against the litterbugs who commit them.
"The purpose of this class is to give the officers the basic knowledge to identify what the problem is, Memphis Police Department Spokesperson, Officer Milton Bonds, Jr. said. "Once they identify it, to either take action - whether it be criminal action - or if it's just to get the information to a criminal investigator with TDEC who in turn will work the case," he explained.
The department said they are doing the training so they can begin rebuilding the streets they patrol everyday.
The classes stem from work connected with Mayor A.C. Wharton's E Team.
The E Team is a group of people from the community and several government agencies who come together to discuss how to make neighborhoods a better place to live.
"Environmental crimes are complex in nature," Officer Bonds said.
So Memphis police are getting some help from the state.
"Illegal dumping, illegal landfills, some of the water pollutions we see from time to time, and some of the violations we see at the gas pump, Brooke Barrett with the Tennessee Department of Environment on Conservation (TDEC) said. "Those kinds of things."
TDEC is on the lookout for crimes like these everyday and say the training is time well spent for the city and the state.
"Ultimately, this class today should help to alleviate some of those issues. That's what we're hoping for," Barrett explained.
The police department tells me this is not the last of these trainings. Officers tell WREG their goal is to create a safer, cleaner Memphis.
Consequences for committing environmental crimes range from misdemeanors to felonies. Offenders have the potential to be slapped with heavy fines or find themselves behind bars.

Anushka Shenoy
Anushka was born and raised in Portland before moving to New York City to pursue a degree in Economics and Mathematics. She spent her junior year at the London School of Economics, but after graduation moved back to the best coast to work for Bain and Company, a management consulting firm, in San Francisco. After three years of corporate America she realized she wanted to be a doctor …. so she abruptly quit her job, took her first science classes in high school at Portland State University, and enrolled at OHSU two years (almost to the day!) later.
Anushka is particularly interested in medical leadership, psychiatry, and working with underserved populations, particularly children and young adults. In her extensive free time she loves taking advantage of the Northwest's natural beauty, from backpacking over the summer to exploring natural hot springs when the weather gets cold. She feels lucky to be back in Portland and at OHSU.

When I see watermelons I think of long hot summers on the patio and seed spitting competition with my brother. I love watermelon any time of year that I can get it. You may think this is weird, but I salt mine! It's how I was raised, I can't help it. My mom told me it brings out the flavor. I think she just liked salt, lol. Anyway, watermelon and summer are joined at the hip and here's a summery design you might like to try. Seriously if I can do it, anyone can!
Yesterday I bought a bottle of Essie nail polish in this juicy summer shade called Watermelon. I don't know how this one has escaped me but I fell in love with it right away. I just wanted to share a quick mani idea with you, and I can't take credit for it but I'll share with you who inspired me in a moment.
Seeing how this color can stand just lovely on it's own, I got to thinking how cute it would be to create some watermelon nail art. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it, I'm NO nail artist. That won't keep my from trying once in a blue! 😉 I punched In the words watermelon mani on YouTube, and came up with several choices for tutorials. The one I liked best on YouTube was presented by the lovely BiancaXOBeautyy. Thank you Bianca for sharing such a cute idea!
Polishes I used for this mani were, for the juicy red Essie Watermelon, for the green I used Zoya Josie with pale green stripes of Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Mint Sorbet, white of the rind I used Wet & Wild Megalast in Whipped Topping, and finally for the seeds, Wet & Wild Wild Shine in Black Creme. I topped the whole thing with Seche Vite. Did I do my right hand as well? I knew you were going to ask. No way! Lol It would have looked like my nails had been put in a blender 😉 On my right hand is all fruit, no seeds, no rind. 🙂

The Godolphin Barb by Laura Harrison McBride
Hot-Blooded Horse Conquers a Cold Climate - The Godolphin Barb's English Home
One has to take the good with the bad, as every rider knows. It was just so with one of the three Thoroughbred foundation stallions, the Godolphin Barb (or Arabian). Legend has it that the stallion once pulled a water cart through the streets of Paris before being shipped to England where, eventually, he hit his stride as a sire of champions in the middle of the eighteenth century.

Thank you very much. I was glad I got to read the citation earlier today because I had all my tears earlier, but I thought it was very beautifully written. Thank you. This award does mean a lot to me. Danny has received some awards this year, but this one touched me when I received the invitation and I read the story of Lovejoy. I was just particularly moved by his persistence in standing up for what he believed in, by his relentless fight for the rights of others and in the end his dying for his ideals.
My parents, my sister and Mariane are all very honored that you chose to recognize Danny for possessing qualities similar to Lovejoy and the qualities for which this award is given–intelligence, integrity, craftsmanship, character and courage. Danny had all those things though we have had some family discussions as to how Danny was courageous. Danny was very cautious. He refused to go into Afghanistan. He was very careful for his physical safety and that of his colleagues. He even initiated a check-in policy at The Wall Street Journal to ensure reporter safety.
"Danny was an ordinary guy with an ordinary sense of decency, but where he was extraordinary was in staying true to himself and his principles."
But he was very courageous in a different way. He did not let anyone or anything intimidate him into abandoning his truth or his search for truth. He was not intimidated when his eighth grade teacher held a swastika in his face. My parents were called and he told them about it in a matter of fact way, as if saying, "Upset? Why would I get upset if a teacher wants to make a fool of himself?" He was not intimidated by anti-American demonstrators burning the American flag. He told one of his colleagues, "I want to look in their eyes and see why they hate us so much." In the end he was not intimidated by his captors into lying about his Jewish identity. "I am Jewish. My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish," he said, firm in his truth, his truth that of a common humanity. Danny was an ordinary guy with an ordinary sense of decency, but where he was extraordinary was in staying true to himself and his principles.
The night after I read the story of Lovejoy and the description of the award I had a dream and in my dream Danny had a distinct walk. It was kind of like his normal walk, but exaggerated. The walk, the Danny Walk, in my dream embodied integrity, courage and all the qualities of the award. It had another quality, which maybe Lovejoy had. I don't know. It was in his name though, and it's joy. Danny had a lot of joy and humor so his walk embodied that too. The Danny Walk was a bouncy, confident, ordinary, yet courageous walk. And in my dream after he died there were many people walking the Danny Walk. The Danny Walk is what the Daniel Pearl Foundation is continuing through projects done in Danny style.
"We believe that Danny is a powerful symbol to inspire people all over the world to reduce cultural, ethnic and religious hatred and to move even beyond tolerance to the kind of acceptance, respect and even celebration that Danny had for people from every background. "
So, we are planning another global music day next year where people can unite again in the stand against intolerance. We're also sponsoring a youth writing contest on developing solutions to intolerance and we're planning a recording of a song that Danny wrote called "The World Is Not Such a Bad Place." When Danny went to visit a friend who was pregnant and overdue, he took his two band mates with him and he thought maybe the baby was scared to come out, scared of this world. So, on the spot he started signing, "Come out, come out. The world is not such a bad place." And then he proceeds to describe the beauties of the world. So, we're planning a recording of this song with stars from the Muslim countries and from Western countries to send a message for hope.
We believe that Danny is a powerful symbol to inspire people all over the world to reduce cultural, ethnic and religious hatred and to move even beyond tolerance to the kind of acceptance, respect and even celebration that Danny had for people from every background. Thank you on behalf of my parents, Ruth and Judea, and my sister, Michelle, and Danny's wife, Mariane, and his son, Adam. Thank you for this award, which symbolizes the qualities that Danny had in his life that have touched so many people in his death.

Pipeline stalls due to instruction decoding. (I will try to be less emotional than I am now) In my humble opinion we are writing to memory here. That is the place to stall. Instruction decoding is generally somewhat 10 times faster (if not 100). 2. did you measure the actual difference? 3. #126.96.36.199 says that decoded insts are used for small loops. Is the optimized sequence that large? more than 18 instructions? Well, I did not count, maybe, maybe.

Mediocre Fight of the Day: Detroit vs Poverty
Detroit installed the first mile of paved concrete road in 1909. It is the potato chip capital of the world based on consumption. Detroit is home to the world's only floating post office, the J.W. Westcott II which can be found on the Detroit River. It is also second in the nation in fishing rod sales and has the most registered bowlers of any city in the United States.
Here's a few more fun facts about Detroit: as of 2007, 33.8% of its residents were below the federal poverty level, highest among large U.S. cities. Not to worry though, the suburbs are among the wealthiest! Thank goodness for executive pay. Unemployment in Detroit is close to 30% and the city's population has shrunk from around 2m in 1950 to roughly half that today. There are over 100,000 vacant houses in the city and while the average home price in 2003 was $98K as of 2009 it was $13K.
On the plus side Detroit, you will get that statue of Robocop! Now if you could just get a real Robocop to round up all those executives and get them to move back downtown.
As always, if YOU have a mediocre fight you'd like to see contact us any way your little heart desires. Leave a comment here, tweet us @MediocreFight, find us on Facebook, shoot us an e-mail at The Mediocre Fight, or flee to the suburbs and leave your current home to crumble.

AROUND 100 jobs are to be axed at one of Taunton's largest employers, the County Gazette can reveal.
The UK Hydrographic Office is to cut the equivalent of 97 full-time staff as part of a shake-up to make "significant operational savings."
Staff will leave the Admiralty Way base – which houses approximately 1,100 employees – before the end of March after being offered voluntary redundancy.
A source said: "It makes sense for these people to take the voluntary redundancies as many of them are well paid, at the right age and will get a good pay off.
"Most of them will have paid off their mortgage and have built up money over the years so might not mind so much."
Following a consultation with trade unions, some staff who met the agreed criteria offered to give up their position under the Voluntary Early Release Scheme.
They will leave their posts by the end of the financial year.
Taunton Deane MP Jeremy Browne said the Hydrographic Office is "one of the most important and prestigious" employers in the area.
He added: "They obviously have to be efficiently managed but it is still alarming to learn about the planned redundancies.
"I will be visiting the Hydrographic Office again soon and I will be seeking assurances that they have a long-term commitment to remaining as a major employer in Taunton."
The Hydrographic Office said any job losses would be in line with the national Civil Service Compensation Scheme.
A spokesman said: "I can confirm that approximately 100 people, equating to 97 full time equivalent, will leave UKHO before the end of the financial year.
"UKHO needs to make significant operational savings in the next five years to offset changing market conditions.
"It is already achieving savings through increased cost consciousness, efficiencies from transformation and continuous improvement, however the scale of savings requires a reduction in headcount.
"Some of this reduction will be achieved through normal rates of retirement, reducing external recruitment and challenging the filling of vacancies by re-skilling people where possible."

I vividly remember the first time I heard Craig Finn wail out a line off of The Hold Steady's second album, Separation Sunday. I was in the back seat of a rental car, driving through the Arizona wilderness right after sunset with no cell phone service for miles. I'd had enough with family vacations--I don't know how I ended up there -- but this NPR feature was my first connection with the outside world. The Hold Steady are the first new escape I've had in years.
The release of Boys and Girls in America was something I've been anticipating, but I never would have guessed that it would get so much attention. The amount of buzz that's been surrounding this album -- since weeks before its release -- has been wild. As a follow up to the absolutely phenomenal Separation Sunday, this album doesn't disappoint. The new depth in the music is what serves as the surprise on an album from a band that could be mistaken for a Wednesday-night regular at some seedy dive.
The title comes straight out of Kerouac. Mineapolis native Finn was out to tackle the entire country this time around, and encapsulated it with piss, vinegar, and eloquence. The hang-outs may be different, but the parties and the lost loves are always the same. There are strong roots in Springsteen and arena rock, and appropriately so. I think this sound is something that the band's fans approve of. The lyrics, as in the two preceeding albums, are something you have to hear to believe. The massive nights are vivid as hell when you spin this album. For once, I can say I've been there-- Finn knows exactly what he's talking about.
I didn't set out to write this article about The Hold Steady, but their recent celebrity (including a whopping 9.4 on Pitchfork's unmerciful review scale) seemed like a good segue into the recognition of their unrelenting keyboard player. On to the feature.
Franz Nicolay just might be the hardest working man in music. The keyboardist, accordianist, and composer has been recieving so much (yet so little) exposure. His composition/chamber music collective, Anti-Social Music, started as a small project of friends who liked to make music and turned into something much more--a known name with original compositions performed live and released on CD. Nicolay's performance with the circus punk outfit The World/Inferno Friendship Society can't be described as anything less than frantic. Just listen to the opening notes of "Tattoos Fade;" Franz's fingers strike the keyboard's keys faster than your mind can even register--the next thing you know, he's moved on to his accordian.....and without missing a beat--back to the keyboard. He put in time with the gypsy punk band Guignol and he's recorded for countless others such as hardcore favorites Leftover Crack. With The Hold Steady touring extensively around the nation that it's come to love, it seems that Nicolay isn't planning on taking a break any time soon. Keep your eye on this mysterious moustachioed man. I think that we should be expecting (more) great things from him.

I copied the zipped files to a floppy and told Windows ME where to look for them when it tried to configure a FireWire 1394 Device. This worked with no errors. I have heard these drivers also work on Windows 2000, but didnt get to test on any other OS than ME.

Most of our machines are set up to run N or N + 1 builds in parallel (where N is the number of CPUs). We might be able to throttle one down now but eventually it'll get cranked up again otherwise we wouldn't get the kind of throughput we need. Se we might as well figure out what's causing it now. If you can't reproduce it maybe it's an installation problem again. Btw., another interesting thing to note is that the links to the same build logs on the result page are unavailable: http://people.apache.org/~sebor/stdcxx/results/ Andrew, any idea if that's relevant and what it might mean?

Thank you NTS Motorsports and Rheem Racing! It didn't take too long for Ron Hornaday Jr. to find a team in which to hang his helmet for a couple of races.
Last month Hornaday was running fourth in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series point's race but suddenly he found himself without a ride towards the end of the season when Turner Scott Motorsports shuttered his team. Hornaday lost his ride and a reported twenty or more people lost their jobs.
Now NTS Motorsports and Rheem Racing have worked out an agreement with the veteran driver for a two race deal this season. In my opinion it's great news for Hornaday and the series as a whole. The Four-Time Truck series Champion is always a force on the track and makes for exciting racing. As one fan told me after a race this season about why they are a Hornaday fan, "Somebody has to try and beat Kyle Busch in these trucks!"

- Ron Hornaday Jr. plans on racing again!
- Nationwide Insurance comes to Dale Earnhardt's rescue
The move is actually a return to NTS Motorsports for Hornaday as he drove for the team during a portion of the 2013 truck series season. Ed Raniszeski, managing director of Rheem Motorsports, said that the partnership with NTS was a good one and that Hornaday deserves it.
"At this late stage of the season, Rheem is fortunate to have found a quality organization like NTS Motorsports that was able to arrange for the caliber of race trucks and personnel that Ron Hornaday deserves and that gives him a solid chance to visit Victory Lane this season," Raniszeski said. "Everyone involved in this effort is looking forward to getting Ron back where he belongs."
Two Races
Hornaday will be driving the No. 9 truck for NTS. It's a different number but the paint scheme will be a familiar one for race fans. The truck will carry the classic red and black Rheem colors associated with the company in at least two races this season.
According to reports the races will start with the late September race weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That will be followed up with a race at Texas Motor Speedway on October 31. Even though it's only a two race deal the move gets Hornaday back on the track and according to the owner of NTS Motorsports that's an opportunity that could not be passed up.
"NTS Motorsports has had a long standing relationship with Ron Hornaday," Bob Newberry, owner of NTS Motorsports said. "Hornaday is a proven four-time champion and I'm glad we have the opportunity to work with him again."
Next year?
No plans have been announced for additional races or for the 2015 race season. Regardless, it's great to see a veteran like Hornaday back in a truck for even a few more races this year after the surprise closing of his team by Turner Scott Motorsports. The move apparently was caused by an ongoing dispute between the two owners of TSM.
The good news for Hornaday is that the NTS Motorsports Chevy trucks that he will be driving come with plenty of technical support from Richard Childress Racing. Hornaday is not stepping into a truck provided by a shell of a team. NTS should be able to put him into competitive rides.

The cardigan Welsh corgi is well-suited for life in San Diego. According to the experts at Dogtime.com, the breed is one of the top five best-suited for hot weather, along with the greyhound, Sussex spaniel, pharaoh hound and canaan dog.Continue Reading
Dogs not suited to San Diego's tropical climate include those with thick, double coats that shed minimally. Those with shorter noses, like bulldogs and pugs, are also prone to overheating, as they are unable to pant as deeply in an effort to cool off. Such heat-sensitive breeds should be kept inside during hot, humid days and exercised in the morning and evening when temperatures are cooler.Learn more about Dogs

As a photographer the safety of my clients is very important. After working with a broad range of people I found how some of their experiences have left them with a negative view of photographers, for this reason I have created a document of advice that I hope future clients can refer to before a shoot. Click here to see Model Advice Guide.
Lots of experienced models do their own make up and over time they understand what extra is required to get make up right for camera. Make up for photography is a specialised area so I work with local make up artists to help produce stunning images.
