Hot Spots: Tap virtual servers, storage for all they're worth
To keep pace with changes in the server and storage domains, organizations need to ensure that the I/O path doesn't become a bottleneck. Automated patch panels, N_Port ID Virtualization, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and InfiniBand are just some of the technologies that might resolve this issue.
- Bob Laliberte, Enterprise Strategy Group
| I/O obstacles could throw a monkey wrench into virtual server environments, but there are alternatives to traditional methods.
To take full advantage of server virtualization benefits like app mobility and high-availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) capabilities, virtualized servers need networked storage. According to a recent ESG research report, "Server Virtualization: The Impact on Storage," 86% of respondents using server virtualization support their virtualized environments with networked storage, and the majority of those are Fibre Channel (FC) SANs. The result is a highly dynamic infrastructure in which every server device requires connectivity to every storage device to ensure flexibility and mobility. However, the I/O path is still being provisioned as it would be in a fixed, nonvirtualized environment. To keep pace with changes in the server and storage domains, organizations need to ensure that the I/O path is not a bottleneck.
One of the most obvious issues with this type of arrangement is the cost associated with deploying and maintaining an environment that, in a high-availability configuration, will sport two NIC cards and two HBAs per server, in addition to all of the cabling that goes with it.
Troubleshooting an environment with multiple connections becomes difficult because each path may be a point of failure. Some of the most difficult problems to track are related to cables. It's not uncommon for IT staff to spend days trying to troubleshoot a problem only to find that it can be traced to a cable with an extreme bend in it.
There's also the complexity inherent in provisioning new physical servers in enterprises with separate networking and storage groups, both of which need to coordinate to provision NIC and HBA cards. In some cases, this could take weeks.
Traditional HBAs can't see virtual machines, which creates potential security and management issues. From a security standpoint, all applications running on a physical server must be in the same zone. From a management standpoint, it's difficult to tie applications to the storage if you can't identify the virtual machines. Ultimately, you need a better solution for greater scale and flexibility, and improved functionality.
There are solutions that address these problems, but the extent to which they solve them varies. Let's take a look at some of the technologies looking to resolve these problems.
Automated patch panels. This option offers the ability to wire all connections into a single patch panel, which can then handle all reconfigurations. This solution has been available for many years and is very popular in lab configurations. (However, it doesn't address the need to see virtual machines.) For those environments with constantly changing physical environments, this would be very useful. Key suppliers in this market include Apcon and OnPath Technologies (formerly IntelliPath).
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV). NPIV recognizes multiple IDs from one physical HBA, essentially creating logical HBA ports. This technology was specifically designed to recognize virtual machines on a physical server. Many refer to it as virtual HBAs. The technology is focused mainly on FC, so while it doesn't reduce the number of cables, it does provide additional intelligence in virtualized servers and reduces some security and management burdens. Key suppliers of this technology are Emulex and QLogic.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Here's another technology looking to solve the I/O problem. Based on developing enhancements to existing Ethernet protocols like priority flow control, lossless Ethernet, congestion management and priority grouping, FCoE will reduce connectivity requirements. It does this by using a single converged network adapter to handle both IP and FC traffic through a single physical interface. It will support 10Gb throughput and current FC management solutions. This technology is still emerging and products (demonstrated at trade shows) aren't expected to be widely available until late 2008 or early 2009. There's a great deal of support for this technology from many of the industry's leading providers like Brocade, Cisco, Emulex, Network Appliance, Nuova and QLogic.
InfiniBand. This option provides high throughput and is currently available. Companies are taking advantage of this technology to enable I/O virtualization; essentially, a single card can have multiple virtual NICs or virtual HBAs. This type of solution eliminates the need for multiple cables, NICs and HBAs, and provides sufficient bandwidth to eliminate any I/O bottlenecks. One company pioneering virtual I/O with InfiniBand is Xsigo Systems. The company has solutions available today, and has also built an open solution that will enable it to convert to FCoE when it's available.
Implementing technology for the sake of technology doesn't make sense. Deploying new technology because it saves you time and money, and delivers higher levels of service, is worth investigating. The benefits of virtual I/O include:
Virtualizing the I/O path may be the best way to accommodate the dynamic nature of these environments. There's a variety of technologies available--with more on the horizon--that address some or all of the issues created by server virtualization. The first step is to become familiar with the various techniques and to decide what makes the most sense for you today and in the future.

Reporter Charlie Bullough looks at how a once reviled part of the beer market is on the up.
Not so long ago alcohol free beers were derided by drinkers. Go back a few years and the choice was thin and - some would say - so was the taste.
But now a new generation of hoppy and flavoursome alcohol free ales are on the market and demand is growing.
Brewing giant AB In Bev aims to make a fifth of its sales from low or no-alcohol beer by 2025. British brewers like Adnams have also seen a surge in sales of its alcohol free Ghost Ship. While a trip to your local supermarket also reveals a plethora of choice of 'low or no' alcohol beer.
Fergus Fitzgerald, head brewer at Adnams, thinks there are number of factors driving the boom.
He said: "Younger people are not drinking as much alcohol. They are more health conscious. Even people who do, drink less. The general view was if you were not drinking alcohol and were on a night out, the choices were pretty uninspiring and pretty sweet. If you were looking for a substitute for beer then the choice wasn't great and, historically, the flavour wasn't.
But now you can produce pretty good beers in 'low or no'."
Adnams launched its 0.5 per cent version of Ghost Ship earlier this year and demand has been high. Mr Fitzgerald said: "I get more emails about Ghost Ship alcohol free than about anything else. I think people are relieved to find an
alcohol free beer which tastes of beer."
He uses a process called "reverse osmosis" - a series of filters done at a cold temperature - which takes all the alcohol out and keeps the flavour in.
Award-winning travel and beer writer Adrian TierneyJones has also witnessed the alcohol free beer sector grow.
He said: "I think it is going to be an important part of the beer industry in the coming years. Younger people are drinking less and there is more of a sense of mindful drinking - people thinking 'I don't want to go out and get lathered'."
The journalist has written about the trend for drinks industry magazine Imbibe.com in which he quotes success stories like St Peter's Without, Big Drop's Sour and Nirvana Brewery's Cosmic Stout.
He said: "The alcohol free beers are definitely becoming more tasty, partly due to the technology."
The beer writer also pointed to developments overseas, adding: "German breweries are making some fabulous low alcohol beers.
They do sell them as isotonic drinks to have after sport."
Mr Tierney-Jones pointed to German footballers celebrating with an alcohol free beer after a title win and reports of German chancellor Angela Merkel supping such beers. He added: "It's quite a strong part of the market there and they are selling as isotonic drinks to replenish the body after exercise."
Low alcohol beer also has the backing from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).The beer organisation had a low alcohol beer its Great British Beer Festival 2018 for the first time in the event's 41-year history.
Braxzz's alcohol free porter went down a storm at the event in London in August and drew positive reviews from festivalgoers. CAMRA's communications
chief Tom Stainer said: "People were really surprised about the amounts of flavour you got in a low alcohol beer."
He thinks the burgeoning alcohol free beer market will to help create a wider choice for drinkers, adding: "I've seen an increase in pubs offering one or two low alcohol beer in bottles. It's all part of the great range of choice
consumers have in the beer market. The market has excellent beer and brewers have responded to consumers.
I think it's a good time to be enjoying good beer."

The Butterfly Effect: debris from missing Malaysia Airlines plane could have spread over hundreds of kilometres
It has been called the oceanic equivalent of the Butterfly Effect.
So chaotic are the currents in the southern Indian Ocean that two identical objects, dropped into the water just metres apart, can end up floating hundreds of kilometres away from each other in a matter of days.
It's a phenomenon Dr Erik van Sebille, an oceanographer at the University of NSW, knows all too well.
His research this past summer involved dropping buoys with global-positioning systems into a patch of the southern Indian Ocean just east of where the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now centred.
The rate at which those buoys drifted apart, after starting from virtually the same location, was extraordinary. Three months on, and Dr van Sebille said they were now more than 1000 kilometres apart.
He estimated that a piece of debris in this part of the ocean could drift 100 kilometres in a day.
''The idea of the Butterfly Effect is that, if a butterfly flaps its wings, then something really big happens somewhere else. This is kind of the oceanic equivalent of that,'' Dr van Sebille said, underlining the difficulties surrounding the search for MH370.
''Two pieces of debris that landed in the ocean 10 centimetres apart might now be hundreds of kilometres apart already.''
An interactive model of the Indian Ocean currents is available at adrift.org.au. To see the currents, click the cursor on a spot in the Indian Ocean.
France has become the latest nation to identify new satellite images which show "potential objects" in the Indian Ocean, after Australia and China had already released images that show possible debris from the Boeing 777.
All of the sightings are in an area south-west of Perth. The debris in the earlier Australian image was about 2500 kilometres south-west of Perth, and the Chinese sighting, captured two days later, was about 120 kilometres "south by west" of that. The French sighting is believed to be about 850 kilometres north of the current search area.
Dr van Sebille said that any potential sighting of debris in the southern Indian Ocean was significant because it was one of the most pristine environments, largely devoid of plastic and debris.
He said there was a known ''garbage patch'' in the Indian Ocean where debris tended to gather, similar to one also located in the Pacific Ocean. However the Indian Ocean patch was further north of the current search area, at about the latitude of Perth.
Over an extended period, debris in the Indian Ocean generally tended to move slowly north and east, he said.
''That's an advantage here [in the search for MH370] because it means that it is quite unlikely for debris that came from land, for instance from Australia, South Africa or from South America, to move southward towards Antarctica. The general tendency of it is to go northward,'' he said.
''Also, because there is hardly any shipping here, there's not much debris.''
Dr van Sebille said the Southern Ocean was really ''quite a special place'' because it was possible to keep moving east without hitting land.
''There is an opening between South America and Antarctica, the great passage, it just flows on and on and on, so it's this giant current that's actually the biggest current in the world,'' he said.
''It's swept by the winds and as it becomes strong it starts to break up in all kinds of vortices.
''It's just like if you walk here in the CBD and there's a strong wind, and then behind the big buildings you start seeing vortices. The same happens in the Southern Ocean. It's full of these vortices, we call them eddies. Their physics is essentially the same as hurricanes, they're kind of the ocean equivalent of hurricanes. They move around, they're ubiquitous, and they pose a real problem in this case because they make the flow highly unpredictable.''
Dr van Sebille said the unpredictability of ocean eddies was demonstrated in 1992, when a shipping container holding nearly 29,000 plastic bath toys, including rubber ducks, spilled from a cargo ship during a storm in the north Pacific Ocean.
Oceanographers began tracking the movements of the toys, which included red beavers, green frogs, blue turtles and yellow ducks.
Ten months after the incident, the first toys began to wash up along the Alaskan coast, and in the years since then they have been found washed up on the shores of Hawaii, America, South America, and Australia, while others have been found frozen in Arctic ice.

text: Morris United TOPSoccer Program Recap Tweet © The Morris United TOPSoccer Program (an outreach program for soccer) is a community-based training and team program for young players with special needs established in 2010 by the Stefanick children – Ryan, Kelly and Caitlin. Collaborating with NJ Youth Soccer this spring, the New York Red Bulls organization offered the instruction and guidance of their professional trainers to the practice sessions of the Morris United TOPSoccer Program. The program is currently directed by the youngest Stefanick, Ryan, who is a junior at Delbarton School. His twin sisters will be graduating from the University of Chicago in June. As soccer players, the three looked to share their love of the sport beyond their school and travel soccer teams. They wished to create a program to develop and advance children in the sport of soccer. Several players have progressed to play in their town soccer leagues. The program consists of soccer buddies (NJYS trained high school soccer players through USYS TOPSoccer guidelines) who, along with the assistance and counseling of the program's field marshal, David Donovan (head coach for Delbarton Soccer), happily welcomed the recent participation of New York Red Bulls professional trainers. This spring, the New York Red Bulls organization offered the instruction and guidance of their professional trainers to the practice sessions of the Morris United TOPSoccer Program. During these sessions, each participant is paired with a soccer buddy to learn about the game of soccer and to become a more active participant in the team sport. The Red Bulls trainers successfully integrated themselves into the TOPSoccer team and have been positively influential in broadening the scope of the soccer instruction, which has greatly benefitted the participants and soccer buddies. As stated by the co-founder and current director, Ryan Stefanick, "The program looks to teach and develop players in the sport and the involvement of the professional Red Bulls trainers has immensely increased the program's ability to deliver high quality training techniques and developmental tools to advance our soccer players. The joint effort of Morris United TOPSoccer and the Red Bulls organization is a rewarding experience that reinforces our primary goal of bettering the lives of others." Back to news

How long should my rapier be?
I have been asked to play a herald in a community theatre group's production of "The Three Musketeers" and have been asked to have, as part of my uniform, a rapier (toy of course), however when looking at rapiers in current ceremonial use (for instance the Swiss Guard) I cannot help but notice they all seem to different lengths in relation to the person's height, therefore would like to know "As a percentage of a person's height, how long should my rapier be?"

Mary Jane Hassan was my third-great-grandmother, born around 1843 in Ontario to an Irish father and Canadian-born mother. She married Joseph Myers around 1861, and they had 10 children:
Mary Jane Myers (b. 1862 – d. ????)
Joseph F. Myers (b. 1865 – d. ????)
John Robert Myers (b. 1867 – d. 1905)
James Myers (b. 1869 – d. 1922)
George Ignatius Myers (b. 1871 – d. ????)
Charles Myers (b. 1873 – d. ????)
Wilhelmine/Wilhelmina Myers (b. 1879 – d. ????)
Ellen Elisabeth Barbara Myers (b. 1880 – d. ????)
Annie M. Myers (b. 1883 – d. ????)
Rosa C. Myers (b. 1889 – d. ????)
By 1901, Mary Jane was widowed, and lived in Toronto with three of her daughters. Wilhelmine worked as a dry goods clerk, and Ellen and Annie were dressmakers. Mary Jane died in Ottawa in 1911,
The Myerses are hard to trace, because they have relatively common first names and records variously list them as Meyers, Meyer, Mayer, Mayers, Myer, and Moyer. I admit to neglecting research on this line because of it. (I go with the Myers variation, because both my great-grandmother, and her father used that spelling.)

What are your best tips for Black Friday shopping? (Please include a link if it's relevant.)
Bobbie SeacristSometimes you can get better deals after Black Friday. Last year my daughter wanted a lot of stuff from Hot Topic and black friday they were having a 50% off sale. The site was so jammed I couldn't even get on and I was upset because I thought I missed the biggest sale of the season. Two weeks later they had a buy one get one free sale and I scored huge, plus got it in time for Christmas. I also had Hot Topic points to spend. I am not saying it happens all the time but sometimes if you wait things get cheaper !
What's your family's favorite Thanksgiving treat? Please link to your recipe.
Bobbie SeacristI have a new favorite. First I must admit I am not a pumpkin fan. I just really don't like the taste and normally will not try recipes that have it. Then my Mom made Pumpkin Spice Mousse which is on the Jello box. Oh my! It was pumpkin heaven on a spoon. I have never tasted pumpkin quite like that and it was good. I already asked her to make it for Thanksgiving :)
What's your favorite recipe for feeding lunch to a holiday crowd? Please include a link to an image and recipe!
Bobbie SeacristMy Mom makes her company corn to go with sandwiches. In the summer time we always eat Potato Salad or Macaroni salad with sandwiches. However in the winter you are wanting something warm, so my Mom makes this dish called company corn. It is so good and a little rich. It serves about 8 people, so there is plenty to go around and it tastes great with Ham and Cheese on a kaiser roll. She also fixes it when we have dinners and everyone loves it!

But today is Mardi Gras Day! We had a very nice party Saturday night - about 18 adults and 6 kids. Good food, good conversation, and great company. Before CFS, our Mardi Gras parties were huge affairs, with 50-60 people! Ken and I agree it's actually more fun this way, with just some close friends (who all help). Instead of drinking until 2 am, everyone was gone by 10:30 pm! If you want to see what a real Mardi Gras parade is, you can check out this live webcam (though I think by this time of day, the major parades might be finished already - there were still some truck parades going by last time I checked!)
And, finally, though it's Tuesday already, here's a quick recap of the movies we saw last week:
- Ken and I watched The Road Friday night, based on the Cormac McCarthy book. One word: grim. It's a post-apocalyptic story of a father and son journeying cross country. This is a bleak world, with no plantlife, no animals, no sunlight, and no hope. It's well-done and the relationship between the boy and his dad was touching, but if you prefer uplifting movies, this is not for you.
- We watched Hulk with the kids and discovered there were two different movies about the Hulk released recently (the other is The Incredible Hulk). It was pretty good, though we've seen a glut of superhero movies lately. This one starred Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, and Nick Nolte. The acting and story were good, though I am partial to the TV show version starring Bill Bixby from the 70's. In fact, I just got the first season out of the library to show the kids!
- While sick last week, the boys watched a whole slew of movies on DVD and TV: Yes Man (they said it was funny), Ghostbusters 2, and Napoleon Dynamite (they laughed hysterically and repeated quotes from it all week!). Then Craig went back to school, and Jamie watched Hitman, Shaft (the new version with Samuel L. Jackson), and The Village (he pronounced it creepy but not scary and a little weird).
P.S. If you're interested in what we're reading this week, check out my Monday post on my book blog.)

Many MPs will get pensions topping $100,000 a year for life
OTTAWA — Many federal politicians who decide to retire at the next election are set to walk away with millions of dollars from the lucrative parliamentary pension plan.
With a cabinet shuffle expected soon, some federal cabinet ministers have announced they won't seek re-election and MPs from all parties are considering their political futures.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Diane Ablonczy, other original Reform MPs, longtime Liberal MP Ralph Goodale and New Democrats Pat Martin and Peter Stoffer are among the MPs who could take home at least a couple of million dollars over their lifetimes should they retire in October 2015 (the next expected election) and live until age 90, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
The total payouts could, however, be much smaller depending on the lifespan of individual MPs and when they actually retire. A number of MPs such as Toews, Goodale, Martin and Stoffer have not said they are retiring.
The spending watchdog, invited to do the math by Postmedia News, calculated the pension plan for members of Parliament and senators will pay many longtime MPs more than $100,000 a year for the rest of their lives. Indexed to inflation, the plan will pay millions of dollars each to MPs should they live until age 90 (the average life expectancy of MPs in the pension plan, according to the government's own actuary).
"We just don't believe that Canadians get good value for this pension plan," said Gregory Thomas, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
"Politics shouldn't be a vehicle for an individual to get rich and become a multimillionaire. Politicians shouldn't be working for peanuts, but I don't think most Canadians are aware of how lucrative these pension schemes have become."
Cabinet ministers are paid higher salaries and accrue larger annual pension benefits than backbench MPs, meaning their yearly and total payouts are generally larger.
The federal government recently adopted changes to the parliamentary pension plan — including tripling MP contributions and increasing retirement age — but these take effect after the next election.
Under the reforms adopted by the Conservative government, annual pension contributions for MPs will increase to nearly $39,000 by 2017 — from about $11,000 currently — bringing parliamentarians' contributions up to a 50-50 split between the government and the individual MP.
The significant hike in MP contributions will likely have some federal politicians reconsidering whether they want to seek re-election in 2015, having to give up a significantly larger portion of their paycheques after that.
Those parliamentarians who do call it quits will have a golden parachute on their way out the House of Commons doors.
Here's a list of some of the potential payouts to longer-serving MPs as well as cabinet ministers not seeking re-election, as calculated by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (assuming MPs don't run again in 2015 and live until age 90):
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews:
– elected in 2000; minister since 2006;
– if he leaves cabinet this month but remains MP until 2015, annual pension of approximately $90,000; total lifetime pension of about $3.2 million to age 90;
Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Diane Ablonczy:
– elected in 1993; minister/secretary of state since 2007;
– if she leaves cabinet this month but remains MP until 2015, annual pension of about $130,000 a year, total lifetime pension of about $4 million to age 90;
Liberal MP and former cabinet minister Ralph Goodale:
– elected 1974-79; 1993 to present (served in cabinet for the Chretien and Martin governments);
– annual pension of around $165,000 if he sits until 2015, total lifetime pension of more than $5 million until age 90;
Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis:
– elected in 1988;
– annual pension of approximately $119,000, total lifetime pension of more than $4.8 million until age 90;
New Democrat MP Pat Martin:
– elected 1997;
– annual pension of more than $93,000; total lifetime pension of about $3.8 million until age 90;
Bloc Quebecois MP Louis Plamondon:
– elected in 1984;
– annual pension of approximately $119,000; total lifetime pension of more than $2.5 million until age 90.
Taxpayers contributed approximately $29.4 million to the parliamentary pension plan during the 2011-12 fiscal year (most recent data available), while MPs and senators contributed only $4.7 million — meaning Canadians paid nearly $6.25 for every $1 paid by federal politicians.
But when you factor in the more than $90 million in interest and adjustments (eventually covered by taxpayers) attached to the MP pension accounts, Canadians are ultimately paying $25.50 into the parliamentary pension plan for every dollar contributed by the politicians, says the taxpayers federation.
The average annual pension in 2011-12 was $58,051 for former MPs and $66,218 for former senators.
After the next election, expected in 2015, MPs will have to wait until age 65 to collect their full pension, instead of the current age of 55. The recent reforms did not include changes to the eligibility rules that stipulate an MP qualifies for the pension plan after serving six years in office.
The government expects the changes to the parliamentary pension plan will save taxpayers $29 million over five years.
Also, the reforms substantially cut the additional pension plan for prime ministers who serve more than four years, in a move that will almost certainly cost Prime Minister Stephen Harper more than $1 million over the course of his lifetime.

Bullying Behaviors
Our school counselor conducts bullying classes throughout the year. The APS website has information on bullying for parents, kids, and school staff. The APS school district will be following the New Mexico Department of Education statue. For more information please visit the PED(Public Education Department) Website. Every student at Sombra can complete a bully slip if they feel they are being bullied.
Difference between Acting Mean, Conflict and Bullying
- Acting mean or grumpy – is about how a person feels on a particular day, not an everyday thing. Usually, it is not targeted at one person and there isn't an intention to hurt anyone. They may get hurt, but it is usually not the intention.
- Conflict - when one person has a disagreement with another person, over something they have done or said. (there is equal power/2 sided)
- Bullying - is unfair, one-sided. It happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose.
Equal power – friends
Happens occasionally
Not serious
Equal emotional reaction
Not seeking power or attention
Not trying to get something
Remorse-takes responsibility
Effort to solve the problem
Imbalance of power – not friends
Repeated negative actions
Serious –threat of physical, emotional or psychological harm/hurt
Strong emotional reaction on part of the target
Seeking power and control
Trying to gain material things or power
No remorse – blames others
No effort to solve the problem
Bullying Forms
Counseling Guidance Program
The counseling guidance program at Sombra de Monte consists of direct and indirect components. I work directly with students through classroom guidance lessons, small groups, and individual counseling sessions.
Classroom Guidance:
In alternating weeks with the library pull out schedule I am able to see each class for 1 hour (roughly 19 times a year). As your students' school counselor I follow the ASCA model and the national standards for school counseling. There are 3 major domains that the standards fall under; Academic, Personal/Social, and Career/College Readiness. Topics we will cover throughout the year are: college and career aspiration/exploration, goal setting, team building, diversity and teaching tolerance, conflict resolution, bullying behaviors, friendship skills, transition to middle school, identifying feelings, self regulation/anger management, self esteem builders, as well as interests & hobbies and how it relates to future careers.
The weeks that I do not have classroom guidance lessons I have small groups and individual counseling sessions.
Small Group:
Small groups are based on need (teacher referral & family referral) and are 2-8 students per group with similar concern/academic need within the same age range (example: 1st & 2nd graders topic lack of school motivation). Topics include but not limited to; families of divorce, life transitions, low self esteem, friendship, anger management, and academic goal setting
Individual Counseling:
I schedule individual sessions based on teacher and family referral. In the school environment individual sessions are brief in nature and are set up as an additional support for students for a short period of time (4-6 sessions). For more in-depth therapy or long term counseling outside resources are available.
A letter of intent goes home for small group and individual counseling sessions outlining my intent to see your student(s) individually or in a small group, as well as my limits and confidentially limits.
If you would like to talk with me about your student's needs please call or email me.
Health & Wellness Team
The Health & Wellness team consists of the school counselor, the principal, the school nurse, an NM Solutions therapist and the classroom teacher(s).
How it works:
Teachers make referrals to Health & Wellness throughout the year when they see a concern that could be but not limited to social/emotional, behavioral, medical/health related, attendance related, or a change in students appearance or academic performance.
The parents/guardians will be invited to attend this meeting and a letter will be sent home either with the child or mailed.
Our goal with the Health & Wellness team is to discuss any concerns that we are seeing at school, your concerns both at home and school as well as come up with recommendations or referrals to best help your student(s) and their academic success. Please do not hesitate to contact me in regards to this team.
Counseling Mission Statement
The Counseling Program will work hand in hand with staff, parents and community to ensure that every student is actively engaged in counseling guidance lessons and services that will enrich their lives in the areas of personal/social, academic and college/career readiness. Be committed to the uniqueness of every student and give them the tools they need to be successful in all their journeys in life. Help create an environment that knows no limit to the academic success of each student.

|The State Of Venture Capital: The Road To Recovery
|by Roman Kikta
|Fri, Oct 28, 2005, 12:43 am
By Roman Kikta, Managing Partner, Genesis Campus
(Editor's Note: The following article, written by Roman Kikta, is based on his presentation to 30 executives at the MTBC CEO Forum on April 29 at Ericsson. The CEO Forum Series, sponsored by Stanton Chase, is an invitation-only program specifically designed for the CEO or president of a technology company to provide them with the opportunity to meet with their peers for a roundtable discussion of ideas and issues. The theme of the 2005 CEO Forum Series is "Re-Building The Technology Economy In North Texas." Kikta is the managing partner of Genesis Campus, an early stage venture capital fund, and a past speaker at the 3rd Friday Technical Luncheon. )
The impact of venture capital on the U.S. economy is colossal -- it has been estimated that "venture capitalists have created nearly one-third of the total market value of all public companies in the United States" according to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). Venture-backed companies between 1970 and 2003 employed more than 10 million American workers and generated almost $2 trillion in revenue in 2003; this represents approximately 9.4 percent of total U.S. jobs and revenues.
More than $100 billion was invested in the tech-fueled bubble at its pinnacle in 2000. Since then, the venture capital industry has plunged back to Earth after the tech bubble burst to a more stabilized annual range of $15 billion to $20 billion. With an improving economy and a refocus on fundamentals for investment opportunities, VCs are at least for now on the road to recovery, while the aftermath of the tech party still lingers for some like a bad hangover.
Venture capital investors from Boston, through to the DFW Metroplex, to Silicon Valley invested a total of $20.9 billion into 2,876 deals in 2004 according to Thomson Venture Economics/ National Venture Capital Association. This marks a reversal from a three-year downward trend and was an increase from $18.9 billion invested (and 249 more deals than) in 2003. The increase in 2004 was largely attributable to late-stage investments jumping to $7.2 billion in 2004 compared to $4.9 billion in 2003. Additionally, the first quarter of 2005 marked the 12th consecutive quarter of venture investing in the $4 billion to $6 billion range. Furthermore we are seeing signs of competition among some of the top firms for deals.
Investments in the life sciences sector (biotechnology and medical devices industries, together) increased during 2004, totaling $5.6 billion in 578 companies, the largest dollars and deals in four years. The software industry hit a three-year high during 2004, attracting $5.1 billion. Software represented 24 percent of all venture capital dollars while pure telecommunications investing fell to $1.9 billion in 2004, the lowest figure in eight years. The networking industry fell slightly to $1.6 billion, a seven-year low. Semiconductor investing continued its steady, if modest, recovery rising to a three-year high of $1.6 billion in 2004. Most other major industry categories were comparable to prior year levels.
Of the top regions garnering the largest amounts of venture capital in 2004, more than half experienced an increase in investing over the prior year. Silicon Valley captured $7.1 billion, up 13 percent over the prior year. New England secured $3.1 billion, climbing 6.6 percent from 2003, while Texas has just over $1.09 billion invested, which was a slight decline from the $1.16 billion invested in 2003. According to Ernst & Young/VentureOne, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex had in 2004, a total of 30 deals for $320 million invested. Already in the first quarter 2005, $91 million has been invested in 10 companies.
The industry is witnessing the development of frenzied fundraising activity for venture capital commitments although the road ahead remains uncertain for many of these, especially those not in the top ranks in terms of investment track record. Since the beginning of this year, there have been more than 290 firms on the fundraising trail, as compared to 170 funds raising $17.6 billion in 2004.
"The successful raising of capital (from limited partners) is only a quarter of the journey for a VC firm … we still have to identify high-potential opportunities, invest and successfully exit," according to Michael J. Buckland, partner at Dallas-based Mobility Ventures. "Furthermore, technology today is global in nature and to remain relevant, venture capitalists must have a global perspective and presence, especially in Europe, China and India, augmented by solid domain expertise and operational experiences."
The venture community is retreating to the basics, toward a realism that centers on entrepreneurs building substantial and sustainable businesses which may take several years to develop prior to going public or being acquired, rather than two or three years, which was the expectation during the tech-boom. Investors now want a company to be well on its way to $100 million in annual revenue before it goes public.
While institutional investors have a keen interest in top performing firms, there is a limit to how much money can be put to work. Following the tech plunge, new quality deals dried up, forcing venture firms to return billions (release on capital commitment obligations) in un-invested capital. According to VentureOne, venture firms have an estimated $60+ billion in capital "overhang" that has not been invested. Today, the top tier firms are raising new funds of $250 million to $500 million, half the size of those raised during the tech frenzy, when billion-dollar funds were commonplace. Nevertheless, industry veterans contend that there are still too many venture dollars chasing too few worthwhile deals.
"Many of the Telecom Corridor's emerging companies now find their best customers in Asia and specifically in China, where U.S. technology products are in high demand," states Ed Cantwell, CEO of Richardson-based InnerWireless, a leader in building wireless systems, who has recently landed a major contract in China with a leading Beijing facility.
While the opportunities that are developing in Asia, notably China and India, are markedly different from the opportunities in the United States, they have not been places to find leading-edge opportunities in technologies. The tide is turning.
Wu-Fu Chen, a leading entrepreneur and venture capitalist and a founder of Genesis Campus, claims that "the free flow of ideas and capital have created entrepreneurial hot spots around the globe, specifically in Asia, challenging venture firms to follow or risk being left behind." Adhering to his own advice, Chen foresaw the globalization of venture opportunities four years ago and sponsored a new, independent venture fund and incubator called Acorn Campus-Shanghai to invest in China-grown opportunities.
As the venture-capital turnaround that took root in 2004 continues, VCs are valuing entrepreneurial skills, industry knowledge and operational experience first and foremost. While investing in "telecom" has become a dirty word in many a VC's vocabulary, some seem to forget that telecommunications are the backbone of a connected society having an effect across many industries.
Telecom makes possible the internet and with technologies and applications including wireless and broadband, has and continues to redefine how we live, work and play. It provides us with convenient any time, any place personalized connectivity. For example, today's ultra-fast access to your own office network, permanent video-links between different teleworkers, virtual teams, virtual offices and virtual organizations - at almost zero cost, using existing phone lines, computers, and wireless devices or instant access to thousands of Web TV stations, all offering video on demand, virtually any feature film can be downloaded and watched at the touch of a button.
The Telecom Corridor® area seems to be well positioned as a center of technological innovation. While it offers the single largest concentration of the world's leading high-tech and telecommunications companies, including Nortel, Texas Instruments, Samsung and Alcatel, it also has its share of seasoned entrepreneurs that are coupled with a highly skilled labor force in such areas as wireless, nanotechnology, energy, technology, and mobile applications including content, entertainment and security. Without question, the companies of the Telecom Corridor® area are contributing to the United States' edge in innovation and technology development.

So I got a request to make a lesson out of the Cheshire cat in chibi form. Here is what I came up with. This tutorial is going to show you "how to draw chibi Cheshire cat?", step by step. This weird cat is one of the most popular characters from Alice in Wonderland. Instead of making this kitty a mean looking, wide smiling feline, I thought I would shut his mouth, and turn him meek. The design was a bit tricky because at first I wasn't sure how I could turn the Cheshire Cat into chibi form. I was thinking about all the characteristics of the cat, and what I thought up, was to make the chibi version opposite to how he really is described in the book, and depicted in the movie. The overall results is pretty sweet, and I think that anyone who tries this tut will too have fun. Enjoy drawing chibi Cheshire Cat, and I will upload more stuff. Peace out!

NaNoWriMon Testing
Iiiiit's that time of year again! I made some major changes to my "NaNoWriMon" word widgets, and I was wondering whether anyone would be willing to make a couple of test ones to see if they're working okay? You will need an account on the official NaNo site and to have entered a novel for this year in order to do so. In particular, I'm interested in whether there are problems with defining pokémon forms or evolution chains, since that's what I was just working on... so pokémon with weird/complicated evolutions (ralts, eevee, etc.) are especially good to test with!

Re: NaNoWriMon Testing
Alrighty you've convinced me! I created a project, no idea what the project IS yet but haha I'll figure that out. Do I register like normal on your site? This is my "novel."
Also if you're testing the evolutions, does that mean you'll need a novel with x amount of words to fully test it?
Re: NaNoWriMon Testing
Awesome! And yeah, the idea is just to try using the tool like usual. Right now I'm just concerned with whether people have any problems with the creation process; since nobody can actually get any words right now, I can only do limited spoof tests of the actual evolution, and once November starts I can look at the actual database to make sure everything seems in order. It's a lot harder to figure out how people trigger errors on the actual page, a lot of the time.
In any case someone said last night that they keep getting errors when they try to make an eevee, which is something I tested SPECIFICALLY because it's so popular (arrgh), and some people have clearly managed to generate them since I updated the code. That's the kind of weird error I'm especially trying to ferret out!

Re: NaNoWriMon Testing
(or do you mean FURRET out okay I'll stop now)
Alrighty attempt #1: Female Eevee, nicknamed Vivian, set to random evolution. Preview seemed to just refresh the page? There was a little icon at the top of the page already with my Eevee, from the previous page where I put in my NaNo username and my desired Pokemon, and her nickname. Confirm created a little Eevee egg friend.
HTML code so I can get it later for NaNo forums

Attempt #2: Male Eevee, nicknamed Lunar, set to Umbreon evolution. I clicked back to the NaNoWriMon page through the main site menu, not hitting refresh or back or anything (maybe I should have tried that? possibly that could cause problems?). Preview seems to do what it's supposed to. Confirm created another little Eevee egg friend :D
Oops then I refreshed the page so now there are two little Lunar Eevee egg friends...

Attempt #3: I clicked back and changed "eevee" in the species to "ralts," nickname to Psyfairy and gender back to Female. Still has Umbreon selected as an evo. Hitting Preview seems to behave correctly, switching out the image and the evo choices. Picked Gardevoir as stage 2, "Do Not Evolve" as Mega stage.
! Clicking confirm reverted him to male. I remember seeing a lot of questions in the thread about their Pokemon showing up a different gender.

Re: NaNoWriMon Testing
Okay, so it sounds like the eevee worked fine... still not sure what that other person was having trouble with. Hopefully they reply to my post with more details. =/
And thanks for being so thorough with your testing!

I have two quick (and hopefully easy) questions for you. First, would the capital "I" in "I love you" be placed above a long vowel carrier or a short vowel carrier? It seems like it is a long vowel to me, but I have seen it above short vowel carriers. Second, in my research I have found that a period is represented by what looks like a semi colon (a _ on the keyboard). I have also seen in some transcribers that it is represented by what looks like a semi colon followed by a period ( a -= on the keyboard). Which one is more correct to end a sentence and what is the difference? Thanks,
mmm, I'm afraid they are not quick nor that easy ! haha
It's all a matter of perception and of vision. As I explain on page one, the mode I currently use is orthographical (mostly). So for me, a "i" is a "i", and I don't make a difference weither it sounds like in "I", "fit", etc. In this kind of modes, a long carrier represent an accent or a double vowel (in English mostly for "ee" and "oo"). I may someday start something phonetic, like in some of Tolkien's writtings, but in that case I wouldn't treat "I" with a long "i", because it doesn't sound like a long "i" : it sounds like a diphtong of "a+i". And that is how I would treat it, and in the most recent publication of the early use Tolkien made of the Tengwar, that is how he represents "I" (with "a-i"). I know some transcribers use the long carrier... but I don't really agree with that. Maybe Tolkien used it in some writings (I don't know about this), but he used many other options, and I prefer them.
For the dot... For English I use the tree dots you are talking about (-=), but for other languages I use other symbols, according to what language it is. In many sources I read, they separated what Tolkien used for different languages, and in other sources they mixed them all. That may be one of the reasons for the confusion. The only one for which everyone seems to agree is the comma represented by a middle dot. For Sindarin Mode of Beleriand, I use the one which looks like a colon. For Quenya, twice this one. For Sindarin mode of Beleriand, "=-=". And so on. But I'll be honest with you, I saw many things, and I think that the punctuations were not that important for Tolkien. In the title page of the LOTR you'll see a punctuation with a colon and a wave, that is described in many places as a dot representing the end of a paragraph. Interesting too. And in the most recent publication on the early use of the Tengwar, Tolkien often just removed all the punctuations, or represented them as in English, with regular ",", ".", ":", "?", etc.
Is my way to do it better than that of another transcriber ? Maybe not. But this is how I do it.

Really loving this entry foyer from {Country Girl Home}! I love the wall color! I lovveee the wainscotting - how high it is. That it's white, and simple. LOVE the line of pictures. I always assume a mirror has to go there, but I love the picture idea. Love the interior wreath - who says outside gets all the fun? I think the only thing that would make it absolutely perfect for me would be some dark wood floors. :)
And let's talk about this gorgeous table. White, and dark wood. Love the suitcases!!! I love the urns with the hydrangeas in them. Love it!! I want one.

Looking for logo that simultaneously presents credibility and professionalism, while exuding fun, originality and creativity. Logo should be eye-catching, captivating and contagious. Logo must also work for future t-shirt, stationery, calendars, marketing materials, etc.
Wehuhaha is not just the name of our website and company, but it is a rallying cry to reinvent our lives, with renewed purpose, freedom, joy, laughter and conscious connection to the world around us.

Our logo should reflect that. It should be custom, polished and cool, without trying too hard. Most of all, it should be inspiring. This logo should be just begging to be used on t-shirts, marketing materials, etc.
If you click the link below, you will see a photo of a quilt. While not great quality, you will get a sense of the all encompassing, mix match of colors, styles, patches, etc. It might be worth exploring the idea of filling a cool font with some textures like this....or some variation that's boldly vibrant, creative, alive, etc...or maybe even put an image next to the font. That said, we are open to anything and everything. Don't limit yourself to this alone.
cool,hip, custom, inspiring, colorful, vivd, unique. Don't be afraid to be original.

Looking to re-vamp my business image and I need a great logo that can tie everything together. I want it to have a bit of style but it should also hint at fun. (I want people to be laughing while they write me a humongous check!)
Mayhill Image or Mayhill Photography
Your Image is Everything
Desired Color Scheme:
Accepted File Formats:
psd, jpeg, and vector
I am looking to market to the high-end client that isn't afraid to spend money on photography. I do not want any camera related graphics and the color scheme is open as it is currently non-existent. On the artsy side is fine but it can't go overboard as a lot of my ideal clients are very literal and won't get it if you do too good of a job. I want to sell a sense of style and I want them to be fully caught up in the experience.
To summarize...artsy, sophisticated, and a touch of fun thrown in.
Hopefully, this helps.
Also, here is a link to my website and blog to give you an idea of wht is going on. Website is being updated as we speak.
I will try to comment on each submission so please do not delete and please remember, if you are not selected, you are still doing a hell-of-a-lot better job than i could ever dream of doing.
Thank you all for your time. Have fun and good luck.

The Four Treasures of Brush Painting: Bamboo with Karen LeGault
Workshop | January 28 | 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. | UC Botanical Garden
While there are many lessons in Asian Brush Painting there are four classics of flower painting in the tradition of Chinese Brush that carry a lot of weight, with valuable instruction in brushwork to represent various plant groups. Traditionally known as the 'Four Gentleman,' this series will take a closer look at these four floral classics: Plum Blossoms, Orchids, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
Representing the four seasons and classes of plants, in each of four lessons we will learn the brush strokes that go into that particular subject. These brush strokes can be applied to many other subjects, plant, animal or landscape. These four brush painting classes we are offering at the Botanical Garden are introductory and suitable for a beginner. Sign up for one or all four.
December 3 - Plum
January 28 - Bamboo
February 18 - Orchids
March 25 - Chrysanthemum

Observant and intuitive, I meet you where you are at and encourage you to evolve beyond a momentary limitation.

U.S. Military Plans to Destroy $1 Billion Worth of Ammunition
The Pentagon plans to trash $1.2 billion in small-arms ammunition and missiles that are probably usable, but it can't be sure, because military inventory records are such a mess.
That stockpile represents thousands upon thousands of untold rifle and handgun rounds and light anti-aircraft weapons, but they're spread across all four of the military's service branches—and when an individual branch no longer has use for some of its ammunition, it's almost impossible for a needy branch to get that gear, according to a GAO report cited in USA Today:
The services have inventory systems for ammunition that cannot share data directly despite working for decades to develop a single database. Only the Army uses the standard Pentagon format; "the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps operate with formats that are obsolete."
The services hold an annual conference to share information about surplus ammunition and swap bullets and other munitions as needed. Data about ammunition left over after the meeting disappears from the books, resulting in an unknown amount of good bullets headed to the scrap heap…
Some of the report's details sounded like bureaucratic jokes from deleted Brazil scenes:
A request for ammunition from the Marine Corps, for example, is e-mailed to the Army. The e-mail is printed out and manually retyped into the Army system because the services cannot share data directly. Not only is this time consuming, but it can introduce errors — by an incorrect keystroke, for example.
Meanwhile, the Army straight-up doesn't bother to tell anyone how many Stinger, Hellfire, and Javelin missiles it has available in its estimated $14 billion cache, so no other services know to ask for some if they need them.
On the bright side, if Uncle Sam really is destroying the ammo, domestic freedom fighters can rest safe in the knowledge that it's not being saved for martial law or the FEMA concentration camps.
