Gym memberships may take off in January with our best New Year intentions but how about committing to a resolution that is good for the soul and great for nature?
As a way of keeping fit the simple act of bird feeding might not have a lot going for it but in terms of well-being, it can bring pleasure and a greater appreciation of the wildlife on our doorsteps - not to mention helping the birds at a time when 'natural' food is scarce.
This scarcity can come at many times of the year, not just in winter. For example, during the breeding season when dry spells can harden the ground and make it near impossible for ground feeding birds to extract worms - leading to a protein deficiency in the diet when protein is needed for youngsters to develop healthily.
Simon King, associate director of bird food company Haith's, said that with natural habitats being gradually destroyed, the future of many birds rested on their ability to adjust from 'wild' to 'garden' birds.
When done correctly, the routine of feeding the birds can bring much enjoyment.
"Some days it's happy families - other days it's pistols at dawn and survival of the fittest, which in bird language often means survival of the biggest," Simon said.
"That said, I've seen one or two robins square up to much larger species when there are mealworms on the bird table.
"There's rarely a dull moment in a busy bird garden."
It can also complement other interests, such as photography as birds make great subjects - they're photogenic and display aerobatics with their feeding-station antics.
Haith's say that it does not matter how big or how small a bird garden is, it is possible to establish a great relationship with wildlife.
"What could be more enjoyable than helping more birds to fly this New Year?" said Simon. "Give me a charm of goldfinch raiding a bird feeder bursting with juicy sunflower hearts, and I'll leave the treadmill and Lycra running shorts to those who look better in motion than me. I'll keep fit by filling the feeders and watching the birds as they prepare for the breeding season - that's got to be better than Celebrity Big Brother any day of the week."
To encourage more people to take up the hobby of bird feeding, Haith's has introduced a specially priced 'Help to Fly' range of seeds, feeders and food - see www.haiths.com.

When it comes to labor-wage parity, nowhere has this topic been more debated than in the context of China and the US. Specifically, with US wages declining consistently for the past 3 years despite commodity price inflation spiking with a 2-3 month lag following every coordinated central bank printing episode (such as the one we are experiencing now), many have proffered their predictions as to when Chinese secular inflation would make wage pay equivalent on both sides of the Pacific, and stop the exporting of jobs from the US to China (a good discussion on the topic can be found in "With China Forecast To Reach Wage Parity With The US In Five Years, Is A New Manufacturing Golden Age Coming To The US?"). And while labor equivalency between China and the US likely still has a ways to go, we have now crossed a critical Rubicon, as Chinese and European wages, at least in one part of European Union, have caught up. Net result, as Spiegel reports, carmaker "Great Wall this week became the first Chinese automobile manufacturer to open an automobile assembly plant inside the European Union in the latest move suggesting the country's carmakers are seeking to establish a beachhead into the European market." Yes, that's right: it is now cheaper for China to make cars in the European Union: "It used to be that European carmakers opened plants to assemble their cars in China. Now the Chinese have turned the tables with the opening of their first factory in Bulgaria, an EU country with low labor costs and taxes. Increasingly, Chinese carmakers are setting their sights on the European and American automobile markets." The ramifications of this landmark development are massive for virtually every aspect of the economy: for domestic labor migration, for inflation, for the trade balance, and certainly for US workers.
From Spiegel:
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Tuesday attended the opening of Great Wall's new factory in the northern Bulgarian village of Bahovitsa. The plant is to be operated jointly by Great Wall and the Bulgarian firm Litex Motors.
For years, European carmakers like Volkswagen have established large joint ventures in order to gain footholds in the Chinese market, but now the tables appear to be turning.
"Stepping on the European market is our strategy," Great Wall CEO Wang Fengying said at the opening festivities.
Within three to five years, the company plans to produce an entire line of models in Bahovitsa to be sold in Europe, she said. Test assembly of the Voleex C10 and the Steed 5 pick-up truck, which sell for 16,000 to 25,000 leva (€8,200 to €12,800), began already in November.
In the midterm, Great Wall plans to assemble around 50,000 automobiles per year at the 500,000 square meter plant. The number of workers is expected to grow from the current total of 120 to 2,000. Initially, the company plans to sell its vehicles primarily in Bulgaria and neighboring Eastern European countries like Serbia and Macedonia, but it later plans to expand into other EU countries.
Great Wall is China's largest manufacturer of sports-utility vehicles and operates plants in around a dozen countries, including Russia, Indonesia, Egypt and Ukraine.
Yesterday Bulgaria, a poor EU member, but an EU member nonetheless...
Bulgaria, the EU's poorest country, is attractive as a labor market because it is an oasis of cheap wages and low taxes. Workers are considered well educated and the country is ideal as the site for a company like Great Wall to launch. Given that wages for factory workers have risen considerably in China in recent years, assembly sites abroad have become increasingly attractive for some manufacturers.
...today Greece
...And tomorrow all of Europe, and then America?
So the real question is if Chinese wages can no longer compete with those in a poor EU member, just how high are they? And how long before China, for so many years a happy mercantilist importer of Bernanke's monetary inflation courtesy of its currency peg, is no longer competitive with ever growing parts of the EU, and then America? Does this mean that China's cheap labor force has pleateaued and the labor migration of peasants moving from the periphery to the cities no longer provides cheap labor? This was the topic of an extended analysis by SocGen from early January (posted here), of which the salient chart is presented below. Today's news will certainly force everyone to have a second long, hard look at the chart in the top left as it means that the Chinese labor force may indeed have topped out.
Aside from demographics, the macroeconomic implications on foreign trade and capital flows are monumental: most immediately for the US, it puts today's Wal Mart miss in a very different perspective, as it means that China is no longer the source of cheap commoditized produce, which in turn means that the entire discount retail vertical may have entered the secular sunsetting phase. It also means that Chinese producer margins are about to turn negative, and China is about to replay all the same EPS boosting gimmicks that America has gone through in the past 3 years, only in China, where there is no safety net, no jobless insurance claims, no EUCs, and no extended benefits (not to mention anything else), a wave of terminations will lead to far more unpleasant consequences than a bunch of unemployed people sitting on their coaches playing Xbox and watching GOP presidential debates. Most importantly, it means that going forward China will have zero tolerance for Fed monetary expansion as any hot money will immediately set off an inflationary forest fire as China suddenly finds itself with absolutely no output gap slack (unlike America which allegedly has more than enough, even though it is really just a secular regression to the mean shift).
In short, the implications, both good and bad, are huge.
And while this may be merely the proverbial canary in the Bulgarian coalmine for now, it will soon be followed by a murder of crows and then a kettle of vultures. Because the Pandora's box has just been opened.

The Second Book of Chronicles gives us a summary of what happened in Israel
and Judea. The leaders and the people did not listen to the Lord and were
no longer interested in seeking the ways of God. We should never look on
this as some simple explanation of history. Instead, it is our own
history. We, all of us, get attracted to the goods of the present world.
It does not matter what it is that attracts, but whatever attraction it is,
it can take us away from God unless we are clear that God is always first.
For most of us, even now, God is not always first. Instead, we want to
make Him first but often choose other values. It is not as though we can
choose God just as if we could choose a nice pet. God is chosen by us in
the midst of choosing other things-and often we do not even consider His
presence when we are making choices-and thus God is not first.
This was surely part of the story of the Second Book of Chronicles. The
leaders and the people often were not actively choosing against God.
Instead, they were not choosing in and for God. And we do the same.
The Letter to the Ephesians and the Gospel of John today show to us a God
who is always with us and always seeking us. The Letter to the Ephesians
is so strong in stating that God loved us and loves us even when we were or
are in death because of our sins. Nothing is strong enough to destroy this
love that God has for us. Even serious sin never destroys Gods love for
us. What serious sin does in damage our capacity to respond to that love.
The Gospel of John reminds us that God has sent Jesus not to condemn the
world but the save it. We can put that even more personally: God is never
interested in condemning me but always interested in saving me.
Lent is a time for us to realize profoundly this love that God has for us.
Lent is a time to open our hearts and realize that God is seeking us. Not
matter how often we turn away from God or choose values or actions other
than God, God is always there loving us and inviting us to share His love.
If we realized the immensity of this love right now, we would surely die
because of love. Yet we are almost frightened to believe that God can love
us so much, especially when we realize how small our own love is.
Let us keep walking through this Lent, asking God to open our hearts,
hoping that we might in some way realize the immensity of God's love and
begin to respond to it more faithfully every day! Let us walk in the

Songs and Video Games
We have hockey on all the time during Round 1 of the NHL playoffs. If it's the same at your place, you know that you get to know the commercials really well this time of year. And they have one ad on repeat that is MAKING ME CRAZY.
It's some video game. A dude jumps off a building while remembering all the people he shot up in the war. And the song, the song they use - God it's f-cking infuriating - is Hurt. Like, the Johnny Cash version which, I mean, I can't even...
Do you ever sparingly listen to a piece of music? Not only because you don't want to spoil it but also because - as corny as this sounds - it takes you to a place that's too uncomfortable and raw? The way Johnny Cash sang the sh-t out of that song, when he sings "What have I become" and his voice catches, and you automatically associate it with the video, and how he lost June first and was gone soon after...
It's too much. And it should be. Too much.
Now it's a video game. Sometimes I wonder about how celebrity estates are managed. There's a lot of cash money in gaming.
And because timing is everything, they honoured Johnny Cash in Austin the other night for We Walk The Line: A Celebration Of The Music of Johnny Cash with performances by many acclaimed artists including Kris Kristofferson, Sheryl Crow, Matthew McConaughey (presenter), Willie Nelson, and ...
That amazing crazy bitch Lucinda Williams. I love her so much. And you know what she sang?
Lucinda Williams covered Hurt.

If you ride a bike or drive a car on the streets of Buffalo, you know that there are safety issues involving the conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.
All of that is beginning to change. You may have noticed in your own neighborhood that there is a lot of street construction going on.
After years of criticism focused on the complexity of maneuvering through the patchwork of zoning rules and regulations, the city is finally addressing its coding and zoning systems. Soon we will have a new, place-based land-use and zoning tool that supports livable neighborhoods and includes street redesigns. This promises to bring a better quality of life for residents, businesses and visitors.
The new tool is called the Buffalo Green Code. It is a land-use plan and a unified development ordinance that is described as "combining zoning, subdivision and public realm standards into a single document." In an interview with The Buffalo News, Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown said that "the Green Code is designed to help transform Buffalo into an economically competitive city by making our neighborhoods and districts more livable. This will benefit all of our citizens."
Brendan Mehaffy, executive director of the City of Buffalo's Office of Strategic Planning, has spearheaded the effort. "People are going to be seeing the results. We have been working hard, meeting with residents, businesses and others to make sure that we are all working in the same direction. We will have several more community work group meetings before we get to a final draft to send before the Common Council by the end of this year."
One of the most critical parts of the new ordinance is a concept called "Complete Streets." Complete Streets are rights of way designed to safely accommodate multiple forms of transportation, which in turn makes our neighborhoods more walkable and livable. This improves our quality of life. As streets are redeveloped, they adopt design and construction standards that meet new environmental needs and provide safe transportation lanes for all users, including motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Environmental standards include reducing street runoff into the sewer system and appropriate tree plantings.
Justin Booth, the founder of Go Bike Buffalo and the Buffalo Complete Streets Coalition - which was funded in part by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo - has been working with policy makers, private entities and civic leaders to create Complete Streets infrastructure in the city and region. Last summer, he brought together a Complete Streets Summit in Buffalo that attracted speakers and participants from across the United States. He has traveled with local policy makers to Complete Streets conferences around the county. His work has made a big difference.
Booth told us that Complete Streets are economic tools that can revitalize communities. "They are streets for everyone, not just cars. They promote healthier and greener forms of transportation and make it easier to drive less, which in turn leads to stronger communities."
Patrick J. Whalen, chief operating officer of the rapidly developing Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, also sees the many benefits that Complete Streets have for communities and the public and private sectors. Earlier this year, the medical campus created a Transportation Management Association comprised of medical campus member institutions, state transportation agencies and local advocacy groups, with the goal being to work together to help advance a more sustainable transportation system for the city and the campus.
"We strongly support the development of a multimodal transportation system within the region that allows employees the option to get to work in many ways - train, bus, biking, walking, as well as driving. Encouraging alternative modes of transportation reduces costs for employees and employers, is more environmentally friendly and encourages economic spin-off in surrounding neighborhoods," Whalen said. "Complete Streets are vital to our overall goal of creating a distinct, innovative, healthy community."
This is all good news for Buffalo.
Brown is demonstrating a big-time shift in the attitudes of government leaders and policy makers by investing in the Buffalo Green Code and Complete Streets strategies.
"It is our intention to continue to make Buffalo more livable for everyone on a 24/7 basis. We are and will remain a live, work and play community," Brown said. "By doing this, we will attract more business, and more people will want to live here."
He adds emphatically, "When people talk about great American cities, we want to be on that table. We think that these strategies will bring us there."
Buffalo Department of Public Works Commissioner Steven J. Stepniak has led an effort to implement Complete Streets on roads that have been repaved or rebuilt during the past several months. There has been tremendous activity across the city as portions of Niagara Street, Main, McKinley, South Park, Clinton, Ellicott, Washington, Elmwood and Linwood are being reworked and improved. "By Dec. 31 of this year," Stepniak said, "the city will have created 22 miles of bicycle lanes since 2006, with 11 done just this year. It is our intention to do 10 additional miles each year."
Bike and pedestrian safety issues have to be of paramount concern to everyone. As we build out Complete Streets, motorized versus pedestrian and bicycle conflicts will continue to be a part of the story. We can avoid the sometimes tragic consequences of sharing roadways if we understand and respect the legal obligations and personal responsibilities associated with using the roadways. Often, common sense will make a huge safety difference.
The state laws excerpted below do not represent legal advice or judicial determinations. They are here for informational purposes only.
. In New York State, bicycle riders and motorized vehicle operators have basically the same rights to most urban roadways and share the same responsibilities. Generally, a bicycle has as much right to be in a traffic lane as a motor vehicle. By law, bicyclists are required to be in the road. It is illegal for an adult to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Bicycle lanes should be respected by all.
. Bicyclists are required to ride with traffic instead of against it. They are required to follow and obey signs, signals, pavement markings and to use hand signals when turning.
. Operators of motor vehicles overtaking a bicycle from behind are required to "pass to the left of such bicycle at a safe distance until safely clear thereof."
. No bicycle passengers under a year old are allowed, and no passengers at all unless the bicycle is properly and legally equipped.
. Articles carried must be properly fastened and not obstruct the view of the bicycle operator.
. All bicycles in use between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise need to be equipped with special lamps and specific reflective materials.
. Bicycle operators under the age of 14 are required to wear protective headgear.
. Pedestrians have important rights and rights of way. They have the right of way at crosswalks with no signals, and always before a car can make a right- or left-hand turn. If their activity is not lawful, yield to pedestrians.
Skeptics say that traditionally, the framework of getting things done in Buffalo has been complicated by the maze of agencies, departments and governments involved. It has often been demonstrated that sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. This has resulted in duplicated services and lost opportunities.
Now the city, working with county, state and federal agencies, and groups like the Complete Streets Coalition and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus' Transportation Management Association, seems to be changing this. The Green Code is becoming a blueprint for how we can all work together.
"Cooperation at all levels of government is always a communications issue. Thankfully, we now have agencies at the federal, state, county and city level, and in the private sector, that are investing in Complete Streets," said Booth. "It seems like more and more we are on the same page."
Brown agrees. "Collaboration is better today than ever."
As our new street infrastructure rolls out, it is a good time for the citizens and residents of Buffalo to find ways to use and understand these new designs. Users of the streets need to find ways to respect and cooperate with each other if these things are to work. Safety and a sustainable future depend on all of us. Let's enjoy our new opportunities and continue to engage with the city in the development of the Green Code.

This is a true story I wrote in 2006……while it deals with my memories about the death of my great-grandmother, it is also a humorous story regarding a very old-time southern funeral, the Easter Bunny, and what can happen to your gum on a very, very warm Spring day……
I'm sure, dear reader, you are familiar with the definition of sticky as it refers to candy. Did you know that there is now a cyberspace definition for sticky? It has to do with how well your site attracts traffic. Sticky sites have high volumes of traffic, especially the returning kind.
Has your mind ever returned to a memory due to a sound you've heard, a smell, or even a particular holiday? I guess we could call those memories "sticky" because we keep returning to them.
Yesterday morning as I awoke I remembered that it was Easter Sunday. My mind instantly returned to a memory that is sticky in more ways than one. My father's family buried his grandmother on Easter Sunday. She was 102; I was 6. Every Easter I recall this day because Granny should be remembered, and I got myself into a sticky mess at her funeral.
Granny, as her family and community called her, was born immediately following the War of Northern Aggression (her point of view). In Sunday school yesterday a friend of mine remarked that as we grow older we tend to stop following fashion trends and settle for the decade where we are most comfortable. What an apt description of my great-grandmother. Picture the little old lady from the Tweety and Sylvester cartoons and you have my great-grandmother. She was outspoken and feisty. Granny usually ruled the roost. She wore wire spectacles, her hair in a braid or bun, long dresses and black lace-up shoes with a heel. Her "everyday" bonnet always hung on a rocker by the fireplace that to this day we still call Granny's rocker. My children who of course never met Granny even call this revered chair "Granny's" rocker. I have one of her bonnets in my classroom that I pull out when we talk about the settlement of the West.
By the time I came along Granny was well known in the community due to the large number of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren she had. Huge parties were given from her 90's as well as her 100th, 101st, and finally her 102nd birthday where large numbers of friends and family would descend upon my grandfather's small farmhouse. The local radio station, WCHK, broadcasted interviews with her and she would receive birthday greetings from the governor.
How my great-grandmother lived and how I live today is separated by a gulf of technology. She would find most of my life a huge waste of good energy and would most certainly let me know that in a very pointed way. I, on the other hand, would find the life she led extremely difficult. She spent most of her time ensuring her family had something to eat each day by growing it, harvesting it, or killing it-----sometimes with her bare hands.
Granny passed away at home quietly on Good Friday, 1968. They brought her home as was the custom for persons from that generation and placed the coffin in the front bedroom where she had died.
Knowing that there would be no room for us in my grandfather's house my father rented a pop-up camper for us to sleep in. The whole event was quite an adventure from my viewpoint. I did, however, worry about the Easter Bunny and how he would find me in that camper.
When we arrived at my grandfather's my father ushered my sister and I into the front bedroom to pay our respects. He was intent on us doing the right thing. The cannonball bed that Granny slept in had been dismantled and the coffin filled the room. The funeral home had placed two large floor lamps on either side of the casket. They cast a golden hue over the room. The flowers folks had sent, mainly carnations, emitted a sickly, sweet smell that I associate with death to this day.
Daddy stood behind my sister holding her in place as their respects were paid. Daddy's actions spoke volumes even in my young mind. He was teaching us how to handle ourselves even in the midst of his own grief. My sister looked as if she wanted to bolt from the room the minute Daddy removed his hands, and she did. Daddy immediately turned to me and scooped me up into his arms. He swung me up and over Granny's coffin. I can close my eyes right now and experience that light-headed feeling as I went up into the air. My excitement turned to curiosity mixed with fear as my legs dangled over my great-grandmother's body. I wondered if Daddy was going to drop me onto Granny's body. I looked down and examined Granny's serene form. She's sleeping----just sleeping I remember thinking.
The next morning I discovered the Easter Bunny did know where I was. My over flowing basket was lying next to me when I woke up. I began my breakfast with assorted marshmallow eggs (the kind with the white fluff inside) and the ears from my chocolate bunny.
I rode to the funeral with my Aunt Boofie------yes, I know…one of those horribly strange family nicknames that no one ever thinks to ask about its origin until everyone that knows is gone. The funeral would be a country affair with several preachers, lots of hymn singing, and no air conditioning. It might have been Spring but it was h-o-t----hot. I was dressed as any six year old young lady would have been at the time---lots of chiffon, lacy, scratchy petticoats and underwear and white anklet socks with layer upon layer of lace. My white patent Maryjanes squeaked when I rubbed them together, so I did it often just to annoy my elders.
As we traveled down the road Aunt Boofie handed everyone in the car a couple of sticks of Juicy Fruit gum. Under normal circumstances gum would have been an appropriate thing to do but not when one has been indulging in Easter eggs and chocolate all morning. The combination was simply bad chemistry in my mouth. The gum immediately turned into a slimy substance with bits of crystallized sugar from the colored covering of the candy eggs. The gum still hung together but it was incredibly sticky and gooey. I certainly didn't want it in my mouth so I simply did what any six year old would do….I took it out and held it. I reasoned that I would throw it away once I got to the church.
Upon arriving we waited forever out in the hot sun for everyone else to assemble. Then we had to wait on the pall bearers to form ranks and carry Granny into the church. By this time the gum had morphed itself into super glue. Not wanting my Mom to see it I pressed my hands together and intertwined my fingers together.
As we walked into the church everyone was commenting to Mom how cute I looked. One cousin remarked I sure did look sweet with my hands all folded like I was ready to commence prayer.
Once we were seated I attempted to get my hands apart. They wouldn't budge. I tried and tried through three songs and two of the preachers. The mourners began filing past the open casket before it closed for all time and Mom and I watched as everyone left their pews and filed around by the casket and back up the aisle to their seats. My grandfather lingered the longest hovering over the casket saying things I could not hear. I was so mesmerized I momentarily forgot my hands were cemented together. Pa's body shook with heavy sobs. It is definitely a pivotal moment in someone's life when you see a security figure, a larger than life figure, collapse into a heaving, sobbing mess. It dawned on me at that moment that my grandfather was crying over his mother. He had a mommie----just like me. I began to cry. Have you ever tried to wipe tears away when your hands are cemented together?
Pa eventually sat down and it was getting closer and closer to mine and Mom's time to go up. My thoughts turned back to my hands. I repeatedly tried to pry them apart, but they would only budge an inch or so. My thoughts were so intent on getting them apart that I forgot Mom was sitting right next to me. She glanced down to pinch me into stillness and saw my hands. Her gasp was so loud that the folks in front of us turned around. Mom was so embarrassed and flustered. She motioned for the rest of the pew to file out around us while we just sat. The longer that funeral went on the madder Mom got. She was so upset with me that she drug me to her car and took me straight back to my grandfather's without going to the burial leaving the rest of the family to wonder what was wrong.
The rest of my Easter Sunday was spent with my hands alternately submerged in ice water or held out to my mom. She rubbed and scrubbed my hands until they both were raw.
Needless to say my Aunt Boofy never gave me a piece of gum or candy again. However, my Aunt Rachel did give me a Kentucky Fried chicken leg one time, but that's another sticky memory entirely.

TAAC: Temporal Attribute-based Access Control for Multi-Authority Cloud Storage Systems
Kan Yang and Zhen Liu and Zhenfu Cao and Xiaohua Jia and Duncan S. Wong and Kui Ren
Data access control is an effective way to ensure the data security in the cloud. Due to data outsourcing and untrusted cloud servers, the data access control becomes a challenging issue in cloud storage systems. Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE), as a promising technique for access control of encrypted data, is very suitable for access control in cloud storage systems due to its high efficiency and expressiveness. However, the existing CP-ABE schemes cannot be directly applied to data access control for cloud storage systems because of the attribute revocation problem. In this paper, we consider the problem of attribute revocation in multi-authority cloud storage systems where the users' attributes come from different domains each of which is managed by a different authority. We propose TAAC (Temporal Attribute-based Access Control), an efficient data access control scheme for multi-authority cloud storage systems, where the authorities are independent from each other and no central authority is needed. TAAC can efficiently achieve temporal access control on attribute-level rather than on user-level. Moreover, different from the existing schemes with attribute revocation functionality, TAAC does not require re-encryption of any ciphertext when the attribute revocation happens, which means great improvement on the efficiency of attribute revocation. The analysis results show that TAAC is highly efficient, scalable, and flexible to applications in practice.

Shoppers, tourists and office goers can now catch some art in Times Square en route to their destinations — as can travelers across the country.
Art Everywhere U.S. flipped its switch Monday morning illuminating digital billboards displaying 58 classic and contemporary works of American art through the end of the month.
Although the nationwide project's launch was staged in the heart of Manhattan, its scope extends to all 50 states. Up to 50,000 digital and static displays on billboards on city streets, rural highways, bus shelters, subway platforms, dioramas in airports, videos in health clubs, trailers in movie theaters and more will make up the largest outdoor art show ever conceived.
Art Everywhere first came to life last year in the U.K., thanks to Richard Reed, who cooked up the idea on the way to work one morning. A former advertising executive who cofounded the smoothie company Innocent Drink, Reed was among the organizers milling around Times Square on Monday morning marveling at the American art, which spans 230 years. "It all started while I was walking to work on what was a fairly unattractive road. One day someone just placed a piece of art on a pubic wall. For 30 seconds, it really did put a smile on my face and it gave me such a lift," Reed said.
That chance encounter spawned Art Everywhere U.K., which recently launched its second edition. The entrepreneur made a point of saying that the project has no advertisers, no sponsorship and no message. Nor is the art-infused effort tied in any way to the $750 million, 15-year-old juice company that he built and first dreamt up with two Cambridge University friends as an antidote to their hangovers. "It is purely an unfiltered celebration of art," Reed said. "I've got no problem with advertising. I used to work in advertising but I think it's important to take a break from advertising.…It's not antiadvertising."
Nor is it meant to replace museums or art galleries. "Of course, there is no substitute to going to see the real and original work. I don't know if it is like this in the U.S. but in the U.K., less than 10 percent of the population go to art galleries," Reed said.
The 58 images of American art were culled with the help of executives in five major museums — the Art Institute of Chicago; the Dallas Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Those institutions then teamed up with the Outdoor Advertising Association of America and its members to present Art Everywhere U.S. with input from artists, estates, foundations and rights agencies. A pubic vote was set up on the Web site for Art Everywhere U.S, which now serves as an interactive art gallery where visitors can read about the selected works, the history of art in the U.S. and scout out locations of specific works around the U.S.
Looking skyward in Times Square Monday morning as an image of a Robert Mapplethorpe photo, Grant Wood's "American Gothic" and various other art flashed on the exterior of a nearby building, OAAA's president and chief executive officer Nancy Fletcher said "millions of dollars" worth of advertising space has been provided for the project. Noting that any Times Square billboard space can cost $30,000 for one day, "it's the most expensive space in the world," she said. Organizers are considering taking the concept to Australia next, according to Fletcher.
Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" topped the list, but other artists include Winslow Homer, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent and Childe Hassam. As part of the project's social media arm, select street-level displays, such as bus shelters and kiosks, feature Blippar interactive image recognition technology. Using the free Blippar app, passers-by can view the artwork through their mobile devices to unlock information including augmented reality experiences, audio guides and artist and museum content. In addition, an Instagram contest started Monday encouraging viewers to post selfies with Art Everywhere U.S. displays.
In New York for less than 24 hours, Reed was still marveling about the New York launch while lounging by the pool at Soho House Monday afternoon. "Of course, America has done it bigger and better than we have in Britain. I was told here you can travel coast to coast to see the art," Reed said. "But this is all about flooding our streets with art and making it easy for everyone to do."

Top Chef's Spike Mendelsohn Opening D.C. Pizzeria
By way of Grub Street's New York Diet feature, we learn that former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn plans on opening a pizzeria in Washington, D.C.:
After falafel I had a little bit of a siesta, and then dinner at Grimaldi's. I love my pizza. I'm opening a pizzeria in D.C. in the next three or four months. I just took over the building the other day. I'm researching pizza, so I'm trying to hit up all the spots. They do a great coal-fire pizza. I had pepperoni and green peppers on it and a pitcher of beer. I love watching the owner give everybody attitude in the restaurant; it's part of the ambience. I don't think I want to have coal fire. I want to have American-Napolean [sic] pizza. But not a true Napolean [sic] pizza; it needs to be Americanized a little bit. The true pizza from Napoli is really soggy in the middle, and you have to eat it with a knife and fork. I don't think it'll take well to the American palate. I mean, most pizzas in the States that are called Napolean pizzas are crispier. That was the night.
Mendelsohn also visited 99¢ Fresh Pizza and Lombardi's and had plans to visit Tonda, Una Pizza Napoletana, Kesté, San Marzano, Emporio, and Artichoke Basille's.

In the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina, radio and phone communication suffered, in part, when rechargeable batteries died and could not be recharged due to widespread power outages. A new backpack design may offer a way for first responders and disaster relief workers to generate their own electricity for communications devices, night vision goggles, water purifiers or other crucial, portable electronics.
All the person wearing the backpack has to do is walk — the backpack does the rest. The backpack captures energy from the up-and-down movements of its heavy contents and converts this energy to electricity.
The new research is published in the Sept. 9 issue of the journal Science published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society.
"I wrote the first draft of the Science paper during the relief effort following the 2004 tsunami. I was struck by continual reports of people not being able to communicate because satellite phone batteries went dead," said backpack inventor Larry Rome.
In light of the power outages that are burdening relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it's clear that disaster relief workers who can generate their own electricity would be more effective than relief workers without the ability to generate their own power, explained Rome, a biology professor from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.
The backpack looks a lot like the metal framed packs people use to carry their gear during long trips. The backpack captures energy from this movement with a series of gears connected to an electric generator.
"The idea behind the suspended-load backpack isn't complicated. It just took a person with the right background and a little creativity to put the pieces together," said Rome.
Electrifying hip movement
The side-to-side sway of a person's hips may be more familiar, but it's the up-and-down movement of the hips that can power a gadget that feeds on electricity.
When you walk, you put one foot down and then your body vaults over that leg, causing the hip to move up and down by about five centimeters.
If you are carrying a heavy backpack when you walk, it takes extra energy to vault the backpack over your leg. The new backpack harvests this energy by separating the movement of the backpack's heavy cargo from the movement of the frame.
The cargo compartment of the new backpack, which was filled to weigh between 20 and 38 kilograms (44 to 83 pounds) for a variety of trials, is suspended by springs and moves up and down with respect to the frame. It is this movement of the cargo compartment with respect to the frame that turns a gear connected to an electric generator that is mounted to the frame. Inside this generator, coils of wire within a magnetic field turn when you walk, leading to the production of electricity.
In one backpack "test drive," the backpack consistently harvested about 7 watts. For comparison, cell phones, global positioning system receivers, and LED headlamps each use less than one watt. So, it appears that walking with the backpack could allow the wearer to run multiple devices at the same time. The generated electricity could also be used to charge batteries.
An 80 pound backpack worn by a disaster relief worker or field scientist often includes 20 pounds of replacement batteries, so the new backpack could allow people to carry fewer replacement batteries.
Power walking for real
There are many creative, though not always efficient, ways to generate electricity on a small scale. For example, a spinning hamster wheel generates enough energy to power a cell phone.
A series of treadmill tests measuring how much human energy it takes to walk with the backpack revealed that the backpack can serve as an efficient source of electricity. It's true that you burn a few more calories when you walk with the backpack than a traditional backpack of the same weight. But, you are generating electricity at the same time, and the weight of the extra food that you must carry is far less than the weight of the batteries that would be required if you didn't have an electricity-harvesting backpack, making this source of energy a "good deal."
Leg vaulting
The backpack inventors are still in the process of figuring out why the new backpack lets you walk so efficiently. It appears that your leg muscles save energy during the transition between steps: when both feet are on the ground, your legs are bent and your leg muscles are working hard.
Also, each leg appears to supports a greater share of the weight of the pack than usual at the "top" of each step, when only one leg is on the ground. This leg is relatively straight. During this phase of each step, when the body is vaulting over the extended leg, adding extra weight doesn't make much of a difference.
It is these subtle differences that could make this backpack more comfortable to wear and better for your back, said Arthur Kuo, an engineer from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. Kuo wrote a background article that accompanies the new Science research.
"The backpack's suspension system might make it more comfortable to wear and the gain in comfort might be well worth it, even without the energy-harvesting capacity," he said.

Partnerships in Character Education (V-D-3)
The Partnerships in Character Education program provides grants to design and put into practice instruction about aspects of character such as citizenship, justice, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, and giving. Character education, especially when it is integral to a school's curriculum and culture and involves collaboration among school staff, parents, and key members of the community, can be effective in improving the school environment.
WHAT'S NEW--The No Child Left Behind Act
Focuses on What Works
- Requires use of research. Applicants must provide information that demonstrates that their program has clear objectives that are based on scientifically based research.
- Supports research. The U.S. Department of Education may use up to 5 percent of program funds for national activities--including research, development, dissemination, technical assistance, and evaluation, to gather information on effective character education practices and to share that information with grantees.
Reduces Bureaucracy and Increases Flexibility
- Eliminates restrictions on awards. Eligibility has been extended beyond state education agencies (SEAs), in partnership with districts or nonprofit groups or colleges, to also include districts, which may partner with other districts or nonprofit groups or colleges. Private school children and teachers are authorized to participate. Restrictions on the number of grants that can be made and the total amount of funding each grantee may receive have been lifted.
- Eliminates requirements for state clearinghouses. Although grantees are no longer required to develop their own clearinghouses, the U.S. Department of Education may establish a national clearinghouse to provide information on model programs and research findings related to character education.
How It Works
This discretionary grant program authorizes the U.S. Department of Education to award grants to districts, partnerships of states with districts, and partnerships of either districts or states with nonprofit organizations, including colleges. The Department may require grantees to provide matching funds,with a sliding scale based on poverty and the ability to obtain matching funding.
Key Requirements
States and other grantees must implement character education programs that have research-based objectives. In determining the elements of character to include in their programs, grantees may select any elements they deem appropriate, but must consider the views of parents and students in making their selection, and any curricula, materials, and other activities developed under the grant must be secular. Grantees also must link the program with education reform efforts and state content standards.
How It Achieves Quality
In addition to requiring that applicants base their programs on research, grantees must conduct comprehensive evaluations of their programs (due at the end of the second year of the grant and no later than one year after the conclusion of the grant period) that address the impact on all students, students with disabilities, teachers, administrators, parents, and others.
How Performance Is Measured
The law specifies that the following factors may be considered in evaluating the success of grantees' character education programs: discipline issues, student academic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities, parental and community involvement, faculty and administrative involvement, student and staff morale, and improvements in school climate.
Key Activities For The State Education Agencies
State education agency grantees must:
- Form partnerships with one or more school districts or nonprofit organizations, including colleges.
- Evaluate their programs annually and report their findings to the U.S. Department of Education.

Miley Cyrus Poses in Her Underwear on Instagram [PHOTO]
At this point, almost nothing Miley Cyrus does surprises us. (Case in point: She recently went on a topless selfie spree.) However, we were still caught a little off-guard when the singer shared an up-close-and-personal picture of herself in her underwear.
The snap is a close-up of Miley, showing only the space between her stomach and upper thighs. In the picture, captioned "thank you to da sweet smiler 4 deeezzzz #tmnt," the 'Adore You' singer is rocking a pair of bikini-cut underwear patterned with the faces of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The garment appears to be a gift from a fan, though it's not clear if they are honoring the upcoming live-action movie, Miley's possible love of the cartoon, or both.
Also featured in the Instagram photo is one of Miley's newest inkings, a crescent moon design she got with famed tattoo artist Bang Bang.
Check out Miley posing in her underwear in the photo below!

All to often I see system admin teams taking SQL Server offline in order to expand LUNs either in a virtual or within a physical environment. This is what I like to call "taking an outage for NO reason". There's no reason whatsoever to take any sort of outage when expanding a LUN either in a virtual or physical environment. Lets take a look at the process and see exactly what needs to be done to expand a LUN.
Related: 7 Best Practices for Running SQL Server on Hyper-V and SQL Server Storage in the Virtual World
My Environment
In order to show how this needs to be done, I'll be using an EMC VNX 5500, vSphere 5.0 and two Windows Server 2008 R2 guests which are in an Active/Passive SQL Server 2008 Cluster. This works the same no matter what storage you have, vSphere 3.5 and higher (I can't speak to the really old versions), or Hyper-V and Windows 2003 or higher, at the guest. If we are doing this on a physical box or a virtual machine, the process is exactly the same.
Storage Array Change
On the storage array, we simply expand the LUN. We don't need to tell the host or the guest (or the physical server if this isn't a VM) about this change yet. In fact, we don't need to touch any servers yet. Below is the dialog box presented by the EMC management software. As you can seem I'm simply expanding LUN 125 from 100 Gigs to 101 Gigs. Depending on your storage array vendor, the version of the software on the array, and how the LUN is configured this dialog may look identical, or totally different.
LUN Dialog
Once the LUN has expanded (this may take seconds or hours depending on how large the LUN is, the systems configuration,etc.) we can now expand the LUN on the server.
The Windows Server
Once we log onto the Windows server, we need to tell the server that there's more space to use. The easiest way to do this is via the command line tool diskpart.exe. It can be done via the Computer Management MMC snapin as well.
Using diskpart.exe, we can first list out the disks using the "list disk" command. We'll see all the disks which are presented to this machine and their current sizes. We then run "rescan" which does a SCSI rescan looking for changes. Running the "list disk" command again shows the change. Notice the size difference on disk 4.
Now we need to extend the file system so that Windows and SQL Server have access to the additional space. We do this by selecting the disk that we want to work with using the "sel disk" command (you can use "sel dis" for short as I've done). We then need to select the partition that we want to extend. We can first list the partitions on the disk using the command "list partition" (or "list part" for short). Then select the partition using "select partition" (or "sel part" for short).
Select Partition
Now we can extend the partition using the command "extend" command. When we list of out the partitions again we see that the partition has been extended.
No changes have been made to the Windows Cluster, or the SQL Server when doing this. Because I'm doing this in a Windows Cluster, the Windows Cluster will automatically tell the other machines that the disk has changed, and it'll rescan the SCSI bus when the cluster fails over. There's no need to go to the secondary machine and make any changes to it.
In Windows 2008 and above, this could have been done by simply doing a SCSI rescan in Computer Management then selecting the partition to be extended, right clicking on the partition and selecting extend.
Ready more from Denny Cherry on his blog, "Troubleshooting SQL Server Storage Problems."

Maybe Léo Apotheker wasn't so crazy after all. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO was fired 16 months ago after a mercifully brief reign for a multitude of sins, including what seemed like the worst idea of all: spinning off the company's PC division.
Times have changed, and the idea of divesting parts of the struggling company is back on the agenda, HP informed investors in an SEC filing earlier this month. The filing offered no details of which parts might or might not go overboard. But that hasn't stopped Wall Street, industry analysts, and academics from offering unpaid advice to current CEO Meg Whitman, who despite her huge salary, has one of the most thankless jobs in Silicon Valley.
[ Bill Snyder cuts to the heart of the issue in "HP's big problem isn't Autonomy: It's HP." | Get a digest of the key stories each day in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
What might a new HP look like? Break it in half, says Bill George, the former CEO of medical devices maker Medtronics and a professor at the Harvard School of Business. He envisions two HPs, one centered on the Personal Systems Group, which includes PCs and printers, and a company focused on enterprise systems, services, and software.
Other analysts believe HP should remain one redesigned, radically smaller company that focuses only on higher-margin businesses and the cloud. "There is no time to wait. There are issues in almost every division, meaning that the company needs radical surgery," says Trip Chowdhry, principal analyst of Global Equities Research.
Radical as these proposals may sound, they are essentially optimistic in the sense that they see a road to recovery. By contrast, UBS analyst Steve Milunovich says the company has so much debt (more than $18 billion, he estimates) that nothing major could happen before 2014.
Why a once-crazy notion is now seen as rational
Why was Apotheker pilloried in summer 2011 for floating the spin-off idea, while George's ideas now get prominent play on CNBC and the New York Times? In a word: disaster. "Things have gotten so bad at HP that something that was crazy in 2011 is worth discussing" today, says veteran IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell.
It would take far more than one post to discuss all of the missteps of the past few years, including a revolving door in the corner office (four CEOs in five years), the collapse of the company's mobile strategy, and the misguided, hugely expensive acquisition of Autonomy. But one statistic sums it all up: In early February 2011, HP was trading at just under $49 a share. Two years later, the stock is trading at around $15 a share, a decline of more than 65 percent -- which means tens of billions of dollars of value has been vaporized.
The reaming of HP's shareholders is bad enough, but even worse is the decimation of HP's workforce. Tens of thousands (I'm not exaggerating) of jobs have disappeared since Carly Fiorina bet -- and lost -- the farm buying Compaq Computer in 2002. What's more, the job losses are not going to stop. I hate to say it, but there is no credible scenario for recovery that does not include a further, radical reduction in the size of the workforce.
How to break HP in two to save it
Despite the losses, HP is still a huge company: "With 330,000 employees and $120 billion in revenue, HP has become too big to manage," wrote George.

In a letter addressed to "The Estate of George Johannesen," Manitoba Public Insurance wrote that the 59-year-old Canadian died sometime in October.
"I can't figure it out," Johannesen said of the letter in an interview with the Toronto Sun.
Johannesen's situation calls to mind what Mark Twain told a reporter sent to investigate his demise in 1897: "The report of my death was an exaggeration."
And while the letter might seem like a harmless, even amusing, mistake, it has not been without repercussions. For example, after declaring him dead, the insurance company's letter also informed Johannesen that his driver's license had been canceled.
"I don't understand how this could have happened," he told the Sun. "For me to be declared dead, someone would have to present a death certificate. For someone to get that, I guess I must have died sometime in October."
MPI said the mistake did not originate with them but refused to reveal the source of information to the Sun.MORE

An important fact about the Sinar Mas group: it is destroying carbon-rich rainforests and peatlands in Indonesia, including endangered wildlife habitat.If you take away one thing from this post - that's the most important.Today, the notorious forest destroyer tried to clear its name as it released an audit it commissioned to examine Greenpeace investigations of its oil palm plantations . Ironically, the audit confirms that Sinar Mas has been clearing forests and peatland, but rather than acknowledging this Sinar Mas is trying to hide the audit through a greenwash exercise. Here are a few examples of our claims, published in numerous reports, being confirmed by Sinar Mas's own audit:• Sinar Mas says 'it is not responsible for the destruction of orang-utan habitat'. What they don't say is that in seven out of the eleven concessions Sinar Mas's auditors visited, clearance took place prior to independent high conservation value (HCV) assessments. This is essential for identifying areas that are important for orang-utans and such clearance before these assessments violates Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) rules.• Sinar Mas says it 'operates responsibly and within the law', yet the auditors found that at eight out of the eleven concessions they visited, clearance had taken place without the necessary environmental permits. This is illegal under Indonesian law.• Sinar Mas says that Greenpeace claims about its clearing of peatland are 'exaggerated or wrong'. But, not only did the auditors find that Sinar Mas had cleared deep peat, they also found that peat clearance had taken place during 2010 – contravening Sinar Mas's own 'no peat development policy', which was put in place in November 2009. Clearing deep peat violates Indonesian law.
As well, Sinar Mas's auditors appear to have made some very basic errors in the way they have interpreted the claims they were paid to verify. In one example, the auditors claim that Greenpeace reports allege Sinar Mas 'destroyed primary forests'*. Greenpeace makes no such claims in these reports.
Instead of Sinar Mas acting on the audit's findings and halting their destructive practices, it is spinning the results in an attempt to make their brand look 'green'. This includes the fact that even as Sinar Mas was completing this audit, it was continuing to clear mapped forests and peatland in breach of its own company policy.The truth is that time and again the Sinar Mas group has demonstrated that it will say one thing while doing another. It will say that protecting the environment is important while it destroys orang-utan habitat and announces plans to expand its operations even further into Indonesia's carbon-rich rainforests and peatlands. The truth is that the Sinar Mas group is still selling rainforest destruction while portraying itself as a 'green' company.Here are some images that expose the reality behind the Sinar Mas group's myths:
What the audit released today really shows is that companies – like Cargill - need to follow in the footsteps of Kraft, Unilever and Nestle and stop buying from Sinar Mas while it continues wrecking critical forests and peatland habitats, and driving climate change. Additionally, the Indonesian Government must ensure that their promised moratorium includes a halt to all forest clearance, including within existing concessions, and ensures the immediate protection of all peatlands.
Help us continue exposing Sinar Mas's environmentally destructive practices. Share this post and the video Sinar Mas: Myths and Realities. Let's ensure that the image associated with the Sinar Mas group isn't the 'green-washed' version it is trying to sell - but one that shows how it is devastating Indonesia's last remaining forests and peatlands.
Tweet the truth about Sinar Mas Share the truth on Facebook
*In fact, we challenge Sinar Mas's frequent claims that their concession areas do not contain primary forests, because they try to present 'primary' forests as the only ones worth saving. This enables the company to draw attention away from the fact that they are destroying other important forests, which are often critical orang-utan habitat, and are vital to tackling climate change.

UBS to participate in Bank of America Merrill Lynch financials conference
John Cryan, Chief Financial Officer of UBS, will present today at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch financials conference in London. His presentation will include updates on the effects of the Basel III framework. Applying Basel III standards, UBS's June 30, 2010 risk-weighted assets are estimated to be in the range of CHF 400 billion, compared to CHF 205 billion under Basel II. Mitigating steps that UBS plans to take should significantly reduce its risk-weighted assets as calculated under Basel III. Subject to market and business developments and foreign currency fluctuations, UBS believes that its Basel III risk-weighted assets will likely be closer to CHF 300 billion prior to the initial implementation of the new standards. Based on previously announced profitability targets, UBS expects to satisfy the required core capital ratios through retained earnings by 2013.

Looking for disk in all the wrong places
If your shop is inundated by a steady stream of requests for more storage, you need to get control of your company's storage consumption. To understand the problem, you have to examine the overall request and provisioning process and recognize the roles that data management and protection policies play.
- James Damoulakis, GlassHouse Technologies
Looking for disk in all the wrong places
To understand storage consumption, you need to follow its trail from acquisition to actual use.
THE HIGH RATE of storage consumption and its associated costs continue to frustrate IT executives. The never-ending stream of approval requests for more storage invariably raises questions about where and how all of this storage is being consumed. This is typically the beginning of the quest to understand storage utilization or, more specifically, why utilization rates are so low and what can be done about it.
Source: GlassHouse Technologies
Analyzing utilization is a bit like reviewing the stats of a baseball game in the ninth inning--you have a slight chance of affecting the outcome of the game, but it's probably too late. Storage has already been allocated and any effort to reallocate or migrate it is likely to be rebuffed as too difficult or disruptive. Besides, while the actual utilization rate is important, it's just the tip of the iceberg. To better understand the problem of storage consumption, one must examine the overall request and provisioning process, and recognize the roles that data management and protection policies play.
Ask and ye shall receive
The request and provisioning process is a multistage effort, with approval, policy and fulfillment steps that often result in massive overallocation and poor utilization. How does this happen? Imperfect knowledge is one reason; we don't know how much storage we'll need, so we make an estimate and then pad that number for safety.
But why not ask for what's needed now and request more when and if it's needed? Typical purchase and allocation processes are simply not structured to support this. First, there's the challenge of acquisition. The funding vehicle for storage is often a new project, and funds may be available only at the time of the project launch. Another contributing factor is concern about the impact of making changes to a production environment, so the tendency is to add storage now to avoid future disruptions.
The shrinking storage array
Data protection policies and the provisioning process compound the problem. Local politicians complain about sending a dollar to Washington and getting back a quarter--the storage provisioning process seems to follow the same pattern.
Here's how a quantity of storage shrinks at each stage as it's configured and provisioned (Chart 1):
Let me explain:
PHYSICAL: This represents raw, unconfigured storage; it's the aggregate amount that someone signing off on a purchasing request sees. A small amount of capacity (the light-colored part of the column) is lost due to overhead--management volumes, hot spares, etc.
LOGICAL: This is available storage after applying data protection policies. Protection policies are RAID levels that reduce the available physical storage. The gap between physical and logical is predictable and driven solely by the organization's protection policies. The difference between RAID 10 and RAID 5, for example, can dramatically impact storage costs.
ALLOCATED: When service requests are made, logical storage is allocated. In most organizations, however, the logical storage pool is rarely 100% depleted because some capacity is set aside for unanticipated needs or emergencies. The size of this buffer is directly affected by the efficiency of the organization's purchasing process.
CLAIMED: Allocated storage must be claimed and used. In large organizations, some allocated volumes remain unclaimed. These "orphan" LUNs were handed off from the storage admin to a system admin, but never put into production. Another source of orphans is storage associated with a retired system or application that's never been reclaimed. This is a process problem and may represent a significant, low-impact opportunity to recover capacity. Ideally, the delta between allocated and claimed should be near zero.
ASSIGNED: Claimed storage is assigned to servers and presented to apps as volumes and file systems. The gap between claimed and assigned is another area for improvement.
WRITTEN: This is the assigned storage that contains data. The efficiency of written to assigned depends on the application and relates back to the accuracy of the initial storage request.
Defining utilization
An executive sees storage as a IT budget line item; a storage admin sees it as frames and LUNs allocated to systems; and a system admin sees storage as volumes and file systems. When we speak of utilization, whose perspective are we taking?
Each view must be considered. When a storage manager says he's targeting 70% utilization, which two levels are being compared? How does a system admin arrive at a utilization metric of 40%? When an executive complains that storage utilization is only 7%, what's his comparison based on? They're all looking at the same environment, but the storage manager is viewing logical vs. allocated storage, the system admin is seeing file-system utilization numbers (assigned vs. written), and the executive is comparing actual data written to physical storage purchased. All of their assessments may be accurate, and each perspective provides an important piece of the consumption puzzle.
It's all about efficiency
Rather than utilization per se, we should focus on storage efficiency; each transformation level represents an important component of an overall efficiency metric. Efficiency targets should be established at each level to ensure these goals are met. The goal is to minimize the light-colored parts of the bars on the chart wherever possible.
This chart highlights the primary responsibilities at each stage of storage allocation:
Source: GlassHouse Technologies
The capacity reduction resulting from data protection policies (physical to logical) is owned primarily by the storage architect, who must translate business data protection requirements into standard storage configurations that support those policies.
The storage admin is responsible for allocating storage based on user requests, while the system admin assigns and makes storage available to applications. Unclaimed storage is a handoff issue between storage and system admins, and each must bear some responsibility in the process. Finally, file-system and database utilization may be the shared responsibility of the application owner and the system admin depending on the environment. These responsibilities can vary greatly from one organization to another.
Other functional areas can play a significant role, too. For example, the speed of the purchasing group's acquisition process directly impacts the reserve of allocated storage maintained by a storage administrator, so purchasing should share some of the responsibility for meeting target levels. What are the appropriate target levels for each category? Unfortunately, the classic consultant's answer, "It depends," applies. However, this graph shows some sample targets:
Source: GlassHouse Technologies
Clearly the physical-to-logical gap is policy based, and will have different values depending on the storage tiering structure. The allocated-to-claimed ratio should be close to zero in most cases. The remaining areas depend on organizational variables and the time impact of things like the change management and purchasing processes.
Assigned vs. written represents traditional file-system utilization, which brings us back to where we started--the basis for the initial storage request. The more accurate the size estimates here, the lower the overall multiple.
Gathering and reporting the efficiency information is also a challenge. The data is typically dispersed throughout the organization and no single tool currently provides it all. Developing a mechanism for collecting these metrics will likely require a cross-functional effort. It may not be easy, but it's essential to tame the storage consumption monster.

Foreclosure Help:
Stung by the crash of the housing market, some struggling homeowners are using a little known but increasingly popular provision of the bankruptcy code to eliminate second mortgages and avoid foreclosure.
Statistics are hard to come by, but bankruptcy lawyers say the provision has been used effectively on hundreds, if not thousands, of cases in the Bay Area during the past two years.
"It's a big thing in our valley," said James "Ike" Shulman, a San Jose bankruptcy lawyer. "But it's not widely known."
Shulman, co-founder of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, said he has helped a number of clients who have filed for personal bankruptcy use the law to hold on to their houses -- including three last week.
Cathy Moran, a Mountain View bankruptcy lawyer, said one of her clients had a $132,000 second mortgage voided by the court.
"This is a really big-ticket issue that allows people to keep a home and conform the mortgage to something closer to real value," Moran said.
Bankruptcy laws prevent homeowners from eliminating the debt of a first mortgage if they plan to stay in their home. But second mortgages are treated differently. They can be declared unsecured debt when there is no equity to cover them, as is the case for millions of houses that are now worth far less than a few years ago.
When that happens in a personal bankruptcy proceeding, the second mortgage is put on hold and no payments are required while the homeowner completes a repayment plan for other debts -- which typically takes three to five years. At that point, the second mortgage is eliminated.
Many of these second mortgages were granted during the housing bubble, when home prices were going in one direction only -- up, up and up.
"A lot of these are loans that shouldn't have been made at all," said Henry Sommer, editor of Collier on Bankruptcy, a publication on bankruptcy law.
One of Shulman's clients, Veronica -- who asked that her full name not be used -- was struggling to keep the San Jose house she bought in 2005 for $612,000.
Her home's value has dropped to about $367,000 -- less than her first mortgage of $489,000 -- which allowed her to petition the bankruptcy court to set aside her $122,000 second mortgage. The court granted her motion.
She successfully completed her payment plan for other debts two months ago, and her second mortgage is now eliminated.
"It's wonderful," she said. "After almost six years, I am finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm so, so grateful."
Mortgage bankers don't like the practice.
It's "a troublesome phenomenon. It's one of those things that's just now developing and bubbling up," said Dustin Hobbs, spokesman for the California Mortgage Bankers Association. But there is little the mortgage industry can do, aside from seeking to change the law. That could be difficult given the current partisan lineup in Washington.
And there are no complaints from investors in first mortgages, like the pension and retirement funds represented by the Association of Mortgage Investors. "We think with the right controls, something like this to allow a responsible, distressed homeowner to reorganize their assets, liabilities and cash flows is a very pro-business proposition," said Chris Katopis, the association's executive director. "We disagree with what the mortgage bankers associations are saying on this."
The law has been like this for years, bankruptcy lawyers say. It's just never been used as much because in the past there was usually enough equity in a home to cover the second mortgage.
"We're having great results" using the rule, said Brette Evans, a San Jose bankruptcy lawyer. In one recent case, a small-business owner was able to hang on to her home by setting aside a $240,000 second mortgage, she said.
That put the borrower in "a safe zone" where she could work out a modification of her first mortgage, Evans said.
