from StrategyPage:
Soldiers from the TNG (Transitional National Government) raided a pirate base in central Somalia and freed a South African couple who were kidnapped 18 months ago when their sailboat was seized off the Kenyan coast. Pirates have been trying to obtain a high ransom for the couple ever since.
The Mail (SA) has a photo of this couple, which is a SA white woman and her (younger looking) Italian boyfriend.
The article says they don't know if ransom was paid, but here in the Philippines, the Italians alway pay huge amounts of ransom and deny it. (The joke is that the MILF always kidnaps Italian priests because they like Pizza).
On the other hand, the MAIL article doesn't mention the TNG troops.
On the other hand, European and American reporters rarely notice when Africans are doing something like this...

In short: In this guide, geared to new users of Ubuntu, I will explain how to change the default applications.
Install, for example, VLC media player is, for me, one of the first things to do after installing Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus . Then it imposed VLC to make it the default application, as' doing every time I open a video it will start with my favorite media player.
A new Ubuntu user must be able to set all the applications you prefer to open files, this tutorial will explain 'how to proceed.
Change the default app in Ubuntu
The two methods that I will show you 'later are valid on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and, of course, on Ubuntu 16.04. You can follow one of two paths:
- system settings
- right click menu
1) System settings
Go to the Unity Dash and search your system settings ' System Settings ':
Once in System Settings , click on 'Details option':
After clicking on details, in the left panel, select the 'Default Applications'. You'll see the option to change the default app on the right panel.
As you can see there are only a few applications that can be changed here. You can change the default settings for the web browser, email client, for the calendar, for music, for video and photos. And other applications?
Do not worry, for the other applications you need to go to method two.
2) Right-Click Menu
If you've used Windows should be at the current option ' open with ' that allows you just to open a file with a program of your choice in the list of eligible candidates. There is also something very similar in Ubuntu.
Double click the file type for which you want to change the application that opens it by default and open " property " or " properties ":
Then go in the submenu 'Open with' to select the application to use by default:
Done! All in all the procedure is simple or not?
I hope that the procedure will be proved useful, if you have doubts or questions you can leave a comment in the box below!

I really liked this book because of the pictures, especially the one when Skippy is getting yelled at by his mom because of the pyramid he made out of kitty litter. It is really funny. My favorite part was when Skippy ran out from the closet and his sisters were chasing him with puppets. That was hilarious. This book reminds of when my brother and sister chase me around my house.
I really like the book because it makes me laugh a lot. So If you like to laugh a lot this is a great book for you!

Relocation to Tomahawk
My family and I are planning to relocate to the Tomahawk area this coming summer. I have been searching the internet for information on kids programs (swim lessons, gymnastics etc) and have not had much luck. Where else should I look? Thank You

Game Recap + Some People Need to STFU
How does Boozer plan to approach Game 5? "Just keep being aggressive," he said. "Have fun. Enjoy it out there. Continue to play good – and rebound the ball. Continue to take my shots and go from there."
There's that "continue" again.
He also said: "If we play well in the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, we'll be all right, but you know, obviously, for us we have to not get down by too many…if we can get the lead and hold onto it, then we'll have a good chance to win the game."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who was quoted by the Los Angeles Daily News as saying, "I would be very concerned, if I was living in the Mormon community and the Salt Lake community, at the quality of those signs that were out there. They were rather amoral and probably a bit raucous — on Mother's Day and on Sunday."
Phil, STFU.
Game 5:
So FB continues in his quest to make his defenders look like amazing All-Universe Defensive All-Star master geniuses.
17 TOs and 11 BAs for the series.
Even David Locke had to admit that FB played poorly tonight. (Do you know how huge that is? You do if you've heard him yelling at callers for even daring to think a negative thought about Boozer. Up until that moment, no one being paid by the Larry H. Miller Group would even acknowledge the possibility that there was a problem.) The Jazz fans that called into the post-game shows after the game didn't–COULDN'T–even complain about the officiating. They all knew what the reality is. Here are five choice calls:
Caller 2 – "Meaningless points, meaningless boards"
Caller 3 – "…Tell Boozer that yelling and screaming is not a tactic"
Caller 4 – "…you yell "BLOCK IT!" at Memo instead of actually leaving your feet yourself?!"
Caller 5 – "I don't know what else [Jerry] can do"
FB homers want to say that it's all about the way the opposing team is playing defense on him, doubling him and whatnot. Well, if that's the case, the Jazz and their fans are completely screwed for the rest of the duration of his contract because every team in the NBA will start doing the exact same thing and the Jazz will lose because clearly Boozer does not know what to do except shoot when it happens. And as the response to the fifth caller revealed, he ignores Jerry. I REFUSE to believe that when Boozer is doubled, the best shot possible (for the team offense) is his weakass turnaround fadeaway jumper.

Video: See How Frozen Pizza is Made
As most of us ramp up to one of the most epically involved cooking days of the year, pause for a moment and check out this episode of the Discovery Channel's "How It's Made" for a behind-the-scenes peek at a food on the other end of the spectrum—frozen pizza.
There's nothing particularly shocking here, but witnessing the sheer scale that these places produce on is kind of appallingly hypnotic. (The deluge of Shining-esque tomato sauce and the gray chunks falling from the "meat applicator" are mostly just appalling.)
Watch the Video
Frozen or fresh, pizza is obviously an awesomely easy, pre-Thanksgivukkah-madness meal option (in fact, so many people order pizza the night before Thanksgiving that Pizza Hut has dubbed the day "Red Roof Wednesday", touting it as the pizza world's Black Friday). Whatever you're celebrating this week, have a blast—and maybe save some room for pizza. See you after the holidays, Slice'rs!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Erica Jong's (Class of '63) epic Fear of Flying, a passionate and explicit tale that broke the boundaries of feminine fiction. Before Jong, women were apparently allowed to have sex, but not write about it. After Jong, with her detailed descriptions of sex and affairs and desires, there was no going back.
Fear of Flying hit the bestseller lists in 1973, and remained there throughout 1974 and 1975, eventually going on to sell more than 18 million copies. Part of what made the book so popular, no doubt, was the sex. Indeed, as Jong herself later recalled, "[I]t became the book teenagers read to learn about sex, the book women read to liberate themselves, the book men read to learn about women." (I know. It saved me from Dr. Spock Talks to Six- to Twelve-Year Olds, my only prior resource.) The bigger impact of Flying, though, came from the vigor with which Jong separated sex from romance, and marriage from the norm. Until Fear of Flying—or more precisely, until the shift in social attitudes that Jong captured so emphatically—women of a certain age were expected to fall in love, get married, and have babies, in that order. Afterward they were free—free to embrace excitement and to abandon what they were supposed to do in favor of what they desired.
Today, Flying, like most of us, bears the undeniable mark of its age. Its central affair would register these days as a humdrum hook-up; its explicitness pales before that of grocery-store bestsellers like the apparently infinite Shades of Grey. Yet there is still something about the book that I fear our current students miss—a sense of adventure, perhaps, or an embrace of risk that transcends sexuality. Demographically, college students in 2013 are having considerably more sex than were their counterparts in 1973. They are having sex earlier, with more partners, and with far less commitment than Jong's heroine could have imagined. What I sense they are missing, though, is romance—not just of the sexual sort, but the starting-out-in-life sort. The sort that makes young women board slow-moving trains and find whatever might await them.
Today, our students tend to travel along more precise tracks. Like students at elite colleges and universities everywhere, they come to us with well-honed resumes and years of college preparation. They have taken dance classes and clarinet lessons; launched nonprofits, organized science fairs, and studied endlessly for the SATs. Once they arrive on campus, they throw themselves into even bigger whirlwinds of activity. Clubs. Student government. Study groups. Many of them are double- or triple-majors. Some undertake multiple internships. Very few, it seems, have time to catch their breath—much less to embark upon adventures that don't lead to specific ends. Sometimes I am awestruck by their energy and ambition. But sometimes I am sad. Like when one extraordinary young woman nearly broke down in my office, worried that her commitment to an incredible off-campus activity might drag her grade-point average from an A- to a B+. Or when another confessed that the pressure of it all was pushing her to exhaustion. Some of this is natural, since college has always been a busy time of life. Some of it, no doubt, is being prodded by the still-sullen state of the economy. But some of it, too, I fear, is being driven by this generation's deep-seated resistance to anything that falls short of perfection.
This is the generation, after all, that grew up with attachment parenting and hours of educational television. They grew up playing elementary-school soccer on teams where everyone was captain and watching high-school music videos in which every girl with a gorgeous voice looked like a model as well. (Jong's generation, by contrast, had Janis Joplin and Mama Cass, incredible musicians who weren't exactly saddled with the simultaneous demands of Vogue.) They grew up with parents who were deeply involved in their day-to-day lives and deeply committed to their success. Much of this is fine, and certainly well intentioned. But it has also bequeathed upon this generation a fear of falling short, of disappointing others and their own well-laid plans: a fear of failing.
Recently, an article in the student newspaper at Bowdoin College described the extent to which even student hook-ups (essentially, anonymous couplings that ran the gamut from kissing to sex) were being driven by this fear. Or as one student commented "It's easier to send a text message than to have to put yourself out there and have an actual conversation…much easier than being rejected in person." It's odd. Because on the one hand, hook-ups are the logical conclusion to Jong's fantasy—the idea that women can use sexual encounters to address their own demands and desires. On the other hand, though, by taking away the complexities of romance, hook-ups can appear to protect young women without necessarily fulfilling them. They remove the adventure of love, the heady, terrifying prospect of falling hard and losing control. I wouldn't wish this fate on our students, of course, or fault them for managing their personal lives as carefully as their academic ones. But sometimes, I long to throw Jong back at them; to tell them to forget the internship for one summer, to forego the research project, and just get on a train to nowhere and see where it might go.

Burberry x United Visual Artists
For the February 2018 runway show, Burberry collaborated with United Visual Artists on a reimagining of its work 'Our Time', an installation on special loan from - and only ever shown before at - the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Australia, as well as a new piece for the February runway show finale, 'Spectrum'.''Our Time' explores our universal experience of time,' explains UVA founder Matt Clark. 'Time is something that we all understand conceptually but is very difficult to put into words.'
'UVA sets the modest task of creating a work that does the opposite – it slows everything down and hopefully creates space for contemplation.'
Based in a studio in Bermondsey, London, UVA has created a broad body of work encompassing wall-based artwork, sculpture, large-scale site-specific installation and live performance.Since it was founded in 2003, UVA has been commissioned worldwide for institutions such as the Barbican Curve gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, Serpentine Galleries, The Wellcome Trust, Manchester International Festival and YCAM Japan. Works have also been acquired by the collections of Fondation Cartier in France and MONA in Australia.
'Our Time', 2016As seen on the Burberry Runway February 2018United Visual ArtistsCollection of Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), Hobart, Australia
'The themes that I generally explore deal with the human experience in a technological age,' says Clark. 'I'm interested in manipulating the process of inference at a very fundamental level – to try to make the viewer question things that are perhaps otherwise taken for granted.'
'I have always had a desire to create work where the viewer suspends his or her disbelief and is taken somewhere else momentarily.'
'Spectrum', 2018Burberry X United Visual Artists
For the February 2018 runway show, UVA's work 'Our Time' has been 'reprogrammed' in response to the specific nature of the venue and concept of the show. Matt says of the collaboration, 'The themes Christopher was initially interested in resonated with my practice, so the process has been organic and rewarding.'Clark says he draws inspiration from a variety of places, including 'philosophy, the sciences, architectural spaces, music, dance and other arts. I like to see creativity as an ongoing process rather than a list of achievements. So as long as people still want to see UVA's work and I'm still excited about the possibilities, I'll keep exploring.'As for the secret to a successful collaboration, Clark believes the key is 'a healthy respect for each other's work and honest and open communication – then anything is possible!'

Using rsync to Backup Data
The rsync command will create an exact copy of your information in a new location based on what has changed. It takes a look a timestamps to determine what file have changed. This synchronization process is a reliable way to keep two directories exactly the same.
The Trailing Slash
It is important to understand the difference in use with or without the trailing slash.
rsync -av /home/office/ /bk
This example does not move the office directory folder only the contents.
rsync -av /home/office /bk
This example will result in the office directory located under the /bk = /bk/office.
Note the differences and choose the method you want to use for your backups.
If you want to make your transfer smaller then use the -z option to compress your transfer.
rsync -avz /home/office/ /bk
Archive Mode -a
This will ensure that all symbolic links, devices, attributes,permissions, ownerships,etc. are preservered and transferred. This is the same as rlptgoD
Verbose -v
This will provide you with information.
Get Stats on Transfer –stats
rsync -avz –stats /home/office/ /var/bk
Here is an example of the stats you will have available.

If you have a number of extensions you want to exclude, create a file and then tell rsync where the file is so that these extensions or patterns will not be transferred.
rsync -avz –exclude-from=/home/office/exclude –stats /home/office/ /bk
Here the file containing the patterns is listed by using –exclude-from= followed by a path to the file. As you can see the patterns in the file are not transferred.
home/office/exclude file contents, one pattern on each line.
rsync script
This script will sync the /home where user mail is kept to a directory on a separate drive. Once the file is synced then it will be backed up with a tar command in the example above.

Today's Westmorland Gazette stories had a number of splendid, potential cartoons hidden amongst them but the lead leapt out as having the most mileage.
Cumbria County Council and the NHS have conducted a Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire. It has revealed that nearly half of teenagers in the county have had alcohol bought for them by their parents. This is Not a Good Thing for teenagers but, clearly, Quite a Good Thing for cartoonists.
When tackling sensitive material like this, I have to be careful. A cartoon on a similar story about Alcopops, some years ago, so incensed the local skateboard community that I had to go into hiding. The newspaper had more letters about it than any other cartoon I've drawn. (I reproduce it below in the hope of generating a few more.)
A truly wise cartoonist would tiptoe carefully around this topic. However, good jokes are rarely the product of tact and tiptoeing, so ...
The sketches I submitted are below and you can see the final artwork on my website from Thursday.

Former IVGID trustees face Nevada ethics charges
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The Nevada Commission on Ethics will hold a hearing to determine if a pair of former district trustees violated state law by allegedly failing to disclose conflicts of interest and accepting improper gifts regarding votes they made 20 months ago in favor of discounted meals for a group of residents.
Findings from a two-commissioner investigation in April concluded that former Incline Village General Improvement District trustees Bea Epstein and Ted Fuller admitted to not disclosing their membership with The Incliners, a well-known group of residents 49 years of age or older that exists under the umbrella of IVGID's Senior Programs, according to a report filed last week by commission Executive Director Caren Cafferata-Jenkins.
Further, the duo's votes at the Sept. 14, 2011, IVGID board meeting to OK a contract with Crosby's Pub to provide the meals was a potential attempt to use their governmental position for their own financial interest, considering the deal allowed club members to avoid paying taxes for the food.
Fuller and Epstein deferred comment for this story to their attorney, Thomas P. Beko, with the Reno firm Erickson, Thorpe & Swainston. Phone messages for Beko were not returned.
According to Cafferata-Jenkins' report, the board voted 4-0 (with then-trustee Chuck Weinberger abstaining) to approve a purchase order not to exceed $40,000 with Crosby's for the service of nine to 10 meals between Oct. 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012, for The Incliners.
The vote allowed club members to avoid paying a 7.725 percent Washoe County sales tax on the monthly meals due to IVGID's status as a tax-exempt public entity. The way the deal worked, The Incliners issued a check at the discounted rate to IVGID, which then paid Crosby's.
The Incliners were able to save roughly $3,000 by not paying sales tax, according to the investigation, equating to about $20 annually per member.
"Whether warranted or not, IVGID's approval of the purchase order conferred a benefit to members of The Incliners," Cafferata-Jenkins wrote.
According to minutes from the Sept. 14, 2011, meeting, Fuller and Epstein did not indicate they were members of The Incliners prior to voting, but did so after being asked during public comment at the end of the meeting by Incline resident Aaron Katz, a former IVGID trustee candidate and frequent critic of the district's actions over the last several years.
Crystal Bay resident Frank Wright, also a former IVGID trustee candidate and frequent critic, filed three requests for opinion of the commission on Dec. 24, 2012, regarding the issue, with the ones against Fuller and Epstein eventually being lumped into a single case.
On Tuesday, Wright said Cafferata-Jenkins' decision could have far-reaching impacts, as he believes The Incliners is not an IVGID program, and thus taxpayer money was used to subsidize food for certain residents.
"It's implicated the entire board, (IVGID General Manager) Bill Horn and his staff and The Incliners in a major conspiracy to defraud Washoe County and the state of Nevada out of sales tax," he said. "It's a blatant misuse of our recreation fees — they're taking our money and letting (The Incliners) buy through IVGID's tax-exempt status. This investigation has uncovered illegal activity, criminal activity, and it's not going away. This is huge."
Cafferata-Jenkins' report was inconclusive as to whether The Incliners is an IVGID program. Until 2010, the group was registered as an independent Nevada nonprofit.
"The Incliners then appears to have dissolved its corporate status and became part of IVGID's … programs, but no record was found making that official," according to the report.
In an interview this week, Horn said The Incliners is considered an IVGID senior program, as is the Conversation Café and other clubs and groups.
According to the ethics report, the panel determined The Incliners — which operates its own bank account — is "neither an entity … separate from, nor a department within, IVGID."
In related news, a third complaint stemming from the Sept. 14, 2011, vote filed by Wright against Weinberger alleging ethics violations regarding his personal relationship with the Diamond Peak Ski Education Foundation and as a former Sierra Nevada College faculty member was thrown out this April.
A date for the hearing regarding Fuller and Epstein has yet to be scheduled.
Copies of Cafferata-Jenkins' report, as well as Wright's original requests for opinion, can be found here.

Hot Flashes on Tamoxifen
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed with LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ) and osteoporosis 3 yrs ago. I am taking Tamoxifen as a breast cancer preventative and am experiencing frequent hot flashes. I would like to know if there are any natural vitamin or herb supplements to control the hot flashes that do not interfere with the Tamoxifen or make the osteoporosis worse? From what I read, most natural herb supplements promote estrogen, and Tamoxifen blocks it, so the two together would seem inappropriate. Are there any other choices for me, that are relatively mild with few side effects? (My doctor suggested an anti-depressant which also treats hot flashes, but this is more than I need if I simply want to treat the hot flashes, and not depression.)
Thank you for your suggestions.
Nancy Zieber, RN, MSN, CRNP, Oncology/Hematology Nurse Practitioner, responds:
You are correct in thinking about the plant-derived estrogens found in herbs and supplements as having the potential to interfere with Tamoxifen. There is lack of clinical research in this area, but most oncologists prefer to avoid estrogens, including plant estrogens, when a woman is diagnosed with estrogen or progesterone receptor-positive breast cancer.
Options for treating hot flashes fall into 2 main categories - medication and non-medication. Medications include antidepressants, as your doctor mentioned, and other types of medications. The most studied group of medications is the antidepressants, specifically Effexor (Venlafaxine). Generally, they are started at a low dose (compared to when they are used as antidepressants). Other medications include clonidine (Catapres), Bellergal-S, and gabapentin (Neurontin).
Non-medical treatments include: keeping well hydrated with 8 glasses of water daily, wearing all-natural fiber clothes, dressing in layers, exercising on a regular basis (generally walking exercise is best), practicing relaxation exercises, and avoiding triggers such as warm rooms, spicy foods, caffeinated beverages and alcohol. There is even some research on hypnosis and acupuncture.
None of these treatments will interfere with the treatment of osteoporosis, and some may actually help, such as exercise and avoidance of caffeine. Unless you have a medical contraindication, be sure you are taking a supplement of calcium with vitamin D, and speak with your doctor or nurse practitioner about other medications known to treat osteoporosis.

BoC lowers inflation forecast, keeps key interest rate at 1%
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Wednesday, January 22, 2014 5:58AM EST
Last Updated Wednesday, January 22, 2014 4:37PM EST
The Bank of Canada is warning that inflation will remain below target until at least 2016, even though the economy is showing signs of improvement.
The central bank said Wednesday that it is keeping its key interest rate at one per cent, where it's remained since September 2010.
The bank said inflation is expected to stay "well below target" for some time, and likely won't return to the two per cent target for about two years.
"The data that has come in since our last report has shifted the needle a little into that zone of uncertainty," said Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz during a news conference on Wednesday. "We are more concerned about low inflation today than we were three months ago."
The bank blamed "widespread and persistent competition among retailers," along with "significant" slack in the economy.
Poloz said while low inflation, or disinflation, may seem like good news for Canadian consumers, it could have a negative impact on the broader economy.
"It does seem to be bigger than we expected and it does seem to be lasting longer than we expected," he said of the low inflation. "Our concern is if it stays long enough, it could get into expectations and that affects the behaviours in the rest of the economy."
Canada's inflation has been consistently below the ideal target of two per cent, further justifying the bank's reluctance to raise interest rates.
The bank expects the total inflation rate to remain at 0.9 per cent in the first half of 2014, down from its previous forecast of 1.2 per cent, but should "increase very gradually" and reach the bank's ideal target of two per cent in the last quarter of 2015.
Poloz said a two per cent inflation rate provides a comfortable economic "buffer."
"It's low enough that it doesn't really distort much in the economy," he said. "You have two per cent inflation and interest rates that are above this."
Poloz said at two per cent inflation, if a negative economic shock were to occur, policy makers have the ability to react and lower the interest rates if needed.
Canada's economic growth in the second half of 2013 was better than expected, and should pick up from 1.8 per cent in 2013 to 2.5 per cent in both 2014 and 2015, the bank said.
Stronger U.S. demand and the lower Canadian dollar should help exporters and manufacturers by increasing sales competitiveness south of the border, and in turn, boost business confidence and investment.
"The increase in U.S. demand is the most important thing, that's the cake," Poloz said. "And if the exchange rate is going down a little bit and gives us a bit of a marginal boost, there's your icing on the cake."
However, the low dollar will make purchases outside of Canada more expensive.
The Canadian dollar fell 0.95 of a cent to 90.19 cents U.S. on Wednesday afternoon.
Global growth, led by stronger momentum in the U.S., is expected to rise from 2.9 per cent in 2013 to 3.4 per cent in 2014 and 3.7 per cent in 2015.
The bank also noted that it expects a soft landing in Canada's housing market and a stabilization of household debt.
The bank said it will make its next interest rate announcement on March 5 and release its updated outlook for the economy and inflation, including risks to the projection, on April 16.

Physical Education (V-D-10)
Although physical activity is vital for lifelong health and learning, large numbers of American students are overweight and engage in little physical activity. Physical education programs can contribute to developing the habits needed for healthy learning. Physical activity improves muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance, as well as serves as a vehicle that helps children establish self-esteem and strive for achievable, personal goals.
The 2001 Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity recommended in its "Priorities for Action" that: "Individuals and groups across all settings must work in concert to ensure daily, quality physical education in all school grades."Still, only one state (Illinois) mandates daily physical education, and 29 percent of K-12 students nationwide do not attend physical education.
The Carol M. White Physical Education Program awards grants and contracts to initiate, expand and improve physical education programs for all kindergarten through 12th-grade students.
How It Works
Grants are awarded to school districts and community-based organizations to pay the federal share of costs of initiating, expanding and improving physical education programs for kindergarten through 12th-grade students. Grants may be used to provide equipment and support for students so that they may participate actively in physical education activities. Funds also may be used to provide support for staff and teacher training.
Key Requirements
Grantees must initiate, expand, or improve physical education programs in order to make progress toward state standards for physical education.
How Performance Is Measured
Grantees are required to submit an annual report to the U.S. Department of Education that describes the activities undertaken, and the progress that is made toward meeting state physical education standards.

Incumbent Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott will face off against challengers Lee Bushong and Christian Meister in the general election on Nov. 6.
Scott will represent the Republican party on the ballot, having crushed his sole party challenger - Tim Fisher - in the Aug. 14 primary election. Scott garnered about 74 percent of the votes, compared to Fisher's 26 percent.
The primary was closed to Lee County voters registered as Republican.
In the general election, Bushong is running with no party affiliation, while Meister hopes to unseat the two-term sheriff as a write-in candidate.
- Lee Bushong
Age: 38
Residence: Fort Myers
Occupation: Licensed state investigator
If elected, Lee Bushong will focus on three things in the first 100 days.
The first step is introducing a standardized pay structure for employees that provides for career progression. Though it appears the move would cost the LCSO more, he said it would save a little more than $1 million annually.
"We're looking at a reward system," Bushong said.
He would next streamline the actual components of the department to make them more efficient, saving an additional $3 million per year. This would mean more boots on the streets and fewer staffers and administrative personnel.
Bushong said his aim is to reduce the budget 3 percent to 5 percent.
The third prong is the use of specialized enforcement. He explained that law enforcement agencies tend to "throw bodies" at a problem to solve it.
"The problem I have with that is that does nothing," Bushong said.
He would instead focus on building trust within the community, using those relationships to gather meaningful information and intelligence. He also cited the need to repair relationships with other local law enforcement agencies.
Asked about being the right candidate, Bushong noted his background.
"I have a lot more relevant experience when it comes to actually practicing law enforcement," he said, adding that he has worked patrol, been a homicide detective, has held supervisory responsibilities and overseen investigations.
"Those experiences really broaden the way that we look at doing law enforcement - different perspectives in interacting with the community," Bushong said.
Transparency at the department is another priority for him.
"We want openness," he said. "We're providing a service to the community, and the community has a right to know."
- Christian Meister
Age: 44
Residence: Lehigh Acres
Occupation: Legal analyst and author
Christian Meister's platform is based on enforcing the laws of the U.S. Constitution, then enforcing any additional laws that conform to it. Municipals' ordinances and judges' orders that conflict with the Constitution will not be enforced.
He explained that as a member of the executive branch, it is the role of a sheriff to "check and balance" the legislative and judicial branches - lawmakers and judges - to prevent any abuses of power by government.
According to Meister, only about 100 sheriffs nationwide out of 3,000 use the U.S. Constitution as the foundation for enforcement.
"The Constitution already requires it," he said.
Asked about his priorities for the Lee County Sheriff's Office, he noted training deputies on the laws of the U.S. Constitution as one. Meister said he will also review citizen complaints for violations of Constitutional rights.
He explained that there is an imbalance in selective enforcements.
"There's certain crimes that are not being investigated," Meister said.
Improving the image of the agency's employees is another priority.
"I'm looking for more professionalism," he said, adding that some deputies are hired by the department, despite having a "high school mentality."
Meister would also work on improving the community's perception of the deputies, so that residents are not "too afraid to talk to an officer."
As for qualifications, he cited his management litigation in the U.S. District Court and Middle District of Florida. He authored two books on procedural law and served as a case manager for the Department of Children and Families.
"I will be a sheriff that will be there to protect them," Meister said.
- Mike Scott
Age: 49
Residence: North Fort Myers
Occupation: Lee County sheriff
Mike Scott explained that he has run a positive campaign, avoiding the use of negative ads, and he has no intention of changing his approach now.
"I always prepare the same, regardless of the opponent," he said, adding that his campaign will focus on his record as sheriff for eight years.
Scott cited the crime rate and the budget as benchmarks for a sheriff.
"You're talking about things that directly impact the community," he said.
The budget at the Lee County Sheriff's Office has been on a steady decline since he took office, and Lee County's crime rate has also been declining.
"So those two, I think, are really the primary issue," Scott said, adding that he feels "comfortable and confident" moving forward on his record.
"At the end of the day, the numbers speak a very loud message," he said.
For his educational background, Scott cited his master's degree in business administration and his completion of the FBI Academy. The academy gave him a chance to network with other leaders in law enforcement on a global scale.
"Less than 1 percent of the law enforcement officers in the world get to that," he said.
As for serving the past two terms, Scott explained that what happens at the sheriff's office - both successes and failures - tend to be very publicized.
"One crime is too many. I see those as failures, but I also recognize it's reality," he said. "We'd like to do even better."
Scott cited decisions on technology or deployment operations as examples.
"It might not be a failure, but something else might have worked better," he said.

CHITTENDEN — Racing in spring-like conditions on March 16, 17 and 18, six local athletes — all members of Ripton's Frost Mountain Nordic Ski Club — helped their Vermont team win the Eastern High School Championships against the rest of the New England states and New York.
Competing for Vermont were Bristol's Alia Johnson, Ripton's Britta Clark and Lydia Allen, Middlebury's Dominique Powers, and Cornwall's Mac Groves and Will Conlon.
MIDDLEBURY — The owners of Ferrisburgh-based Vermont Livestock (VL) are seeking permission to expand their operation with a new, 11,442-square-foot slaughterhouse and meat-processing facility in Middlebury's industrial park.
If endorsed by local, state and federal authorities, the new facility could be under construction by May and might be ready to handle animals by this October, according to Carl Cushing, owner/operator of VL.
LINCOLN — Fifth-grader Jesus Rosa-Ivey Jr. opened the hearts and minds of his fifth- and sixth-grade classmates at Lincoln Community School this year. He inspired his teachers to think beyond the boundaries of conventional education and consider new levels of intelligence.
He was also a student with severe cerebral palsy, who couldn't walk or speak.
When Rosa-Ivey entered the fifth grade at LCS last fall, his teacher Alice Leeds dedicated a unit of study in her fifth- and sixth-grade class to disability rights and awareness in the United States.
BRISTOL — An organization looking to start a clinic in Bristol and two other Vermont health care organizations that were not granted aid to create Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) last year might get an injection of funds from an unexpected donor — a health insurance company that violated state law.

I don't care if people think it's naco music. I love these güeys. I think they're hilarious. Their music and videos always put a smile on my face. I can't even count how many times I've listened to La Cumbia del Río. I dare you to listen and sit still. No dancing! No smiling!…Es imposible!
And the other day, I discovered their tribute to Michael Jackson – a rendition of Billie Jean. Qué padre! His accent makes this so super chido. Now I know what is lacking in my life – Music sung in English by people who don't speak English fluently. You think I'm joking but I'm serious. I really love it. Makes me secretly wish my husband's English hadn't gotten so good ;) Some women want smooth talking guys, but I think broken English is really cute. I'm loca, ya sé. Just goes to show, there's someone for everyone out there.

Pictures of David Bowie Doing Normal Stuff
[Editor's note: In celebration of the holidays, we're counting down the top 12 Flavorwire features of 2012. This post, at #2, was originally published January 8.] Happy Birthday, David Bowie! The ultra-flamboyant king of glam rock turns 65 today, if you can believe it. Though he's known for his avant-garde attitude, ever-changing persona and incredible style no matter what his incarnation of choice (can you think of anyone else who looks as good in a sharp suit as he does in glitter face paint? We can't either), he's also just a normal guy. Sure, we have to try really hard to think about Bowie without conjuring images of the boy from Mars crawling around on the stage, but believe it or not, he is actually a person who has to do his laundry and stuff. So to celebrate Bowie's 65th birthday and show that we love him no matter what he's doing, click through to check out our gallery of Bowie doing ordinary things — riding the subway, making coffee, checking his email. You'll see that even the great David Bowie is mortal, just like us. Except, wait, way better. Sigh.
He rides the subway. [via]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House officials expressed growing alarm on Thursday that Congress may not soon approve President Barack Obama's emergency request for $3.7 billion to tackle the child migration crisis on the southern border of the United States.
The stalemate over the request comes as Obama prepares on Friday to host the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, the countries that have been the source of much of the migrant surge that has strained border resources.
Congress is locked in a largely partisan fight over the money that Obama says is needed to provide humanitarian needs of the children and speed deportations for many after they get a hearing from immigration authorities.
Republicans want Congress to amend a 2008 anti-trafficking law to accelerate deportations, but Democrats are opposed out of concern the children would face the same conditions of crime and poverty when returned home. Senate Democrats have proposed cutting Obama's $3.7 billion request, while Republicans have said $1.5 billion is the most they would want to spend.
Congress is preparing to start a five-week break at the end of next week and there is no compromise in sight.
"The notion that Congress would go home for August recess without having addressed this question ... would be pretty extraordinary," a senior White House official told reporters.
While White House officials complain about Congress, they are making a case that the number of child migrants has begun to slow. Still, the surge of tens of thousands of children, many with their mothers, has turned into a political nightmare for Obama, who is considering a variety of steps.
One idea being weighed is a plan to screen thousands of youths in Honduras to see if they can qualify as refugees or on an emergency humanitarian basis without having to make the perilous journey to the United States.
The senior White House official said the plan was one of many under consideration but that it was "way premature" to say it was a serious proposal.
Obama's meeting with the Central American leaders gives him the opportunity to urge them to seek ways to stem the flow of people from their countries. Honduran President Juan Hernandez said on Thursday that U.S. lawmakers' inability to reach an agreement on immigration policy was at least partly to blame for the crisis.
Obama spoke by phone on Thursday with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and "discussed the possibility of regional programs that would pool resources to improve public security and increase economic opportunities in Central America," the White House said in a statement.
U.S. officials blame human smugglers for misinformation by telling parents their children will be given safe haven in the United States if they send them there.
A senior White House official said Obama would seek the leaders' help in countering that message with one that the children more than likely will be sent back home.
Part of the emergency funding request, about $300 million, would be allocated toward helping the countries create more favorable conditions at home so people are not tempted to leave.
But there has been little apparent progress in Congress toward a border funding bill that Democrats and Republicans could agree upon.
"It's time for the White House to get their act together. Do they want to change the '08 law and address the real underlying problem here or don't they," House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner told reporters.

"of the same parents or grandparents," c.1300, from Old French germain "closely related" (12c.), from Latin germanus "full, own (of brothers and sisters); one's own brother; genuine, real," related to germen (genitive germinis) "sprout, bud," dissimilated from PIE *gen(e)-men-, from root *gene- "to give birth, beget" (see genus). Your cousin-german (also first cousin) is the son or daughter of an uncle or aunt; your children and your first cousin's are second cousins to one another; to you, your first cousin's children are first cousin once removed.
Word Origin and History for ungerman (1 of 2)
"Teuton, member of the Germanic tribes," 1520s (plural Germayns attested from late 14c.), from Latin Germanus, first attested in writings of Julius Caesar, who used Germani to designate a group of tribes in northeastern Gaul, origin unknown, probably the name of an individual tribe. It is perhaps of Gaulish (Celtic) origin, perhaps originally meaning "noisy" (cf. Old Irish garim "to shout") or "neighbor" (cf. Old Irish gair "neighbor"). The earlier English word was Almain (early 14c.) or Dutch.
Þe empere passede from þe Grees to þe Frenschemen and to þe Germans, þat beeþ Almayns. [John of Trevisa, translation of Higdon's Polychronicon, 1387]
Their name for themselves was the root word of modern German Deutsch (see Dutch). Roman writers also used Teutoni as a German tribal name, and Latin writers after about 875 commonly refer to the German language as teutonicus. See also Alemanni and Teutonic. As an adjective, from 1550s. The German shepherd (dog) (1922) translates German deutscher Schäferhund. German Ocean as an old name for the North Sea translates Ptolemy. German measles attested by 1856.

Fox Takes Obama Out Of Context To Make Him A Climate Skeptic
Fox News' The Five aired an out-of-context clip from President Obama's press conference yesterday to claim that he was "giving up on climate change." In fact, the president affirmed his acceptance of the science on climate change moments later and said we have "an obligation to future generations to do something about it."
During President Obama's first White House press conference [1] after winning reelection, the New York Times' Mark Landler invoked the effects [2] of Hurricane Sandy in asking the president what he planned to do in a second term to tackle climate change. Obama responded that while "we can't attribute any particular weather event to climate change," we do know "the temperature around the globe is increasing" and "there have been an extraordinarily large number of severe weather events here in North America, but also around the globe."
The Five seized on Obama's statement [3] that no individual weather event can be blamed on climate change to suggest that he is "giving up on climate change" in a "big change from four years ago":
But if Fox had rolled the tape for an additional 30 seconds, they would have heard the president say "I am a firm believer that climate change is real, that it is impacted by human behavior and carbon emissions. And as a consequence, I think we've got an obligation to future generations to do something about it."
President Obama went on to describe how his administration has worked to combat climate change by strengthening [4] fuel economy standards [5] and investing [6] in clean energy. He concluded by saying "you can expect that you'll hear more from me in the coming months and years about how we can shape an agenda that garners bipartisan support and helps move this -- moves this agenda forward."
This is not the first time [7] this year that Fox misrepresented the president's comments on climate change.

Everything You Wanted To Know about Storage But Were Too Proud To Ask: iSCSI Pod
One of the most used technologies in Data Centers today is the storage protocol iSCSI. With the increasing speeds for Ethernet, the technology is more and more appealing because of its relative low cost to implement. However, like any other Storage Technology, there is more here than meets the eye.
In this webcast, we will be focusing entirely on iSCSI. We'll start by covering the basic elements that will make your life easier if you are considering using iSCSI in your architecture. In particular we will be talking about:
•iSCSI Definition
•iSCSI offload
•Host-based iSCSI
•TCP offload
Like nearly everything else in storage, there is more here than just a protocol. If you are interested in making the most of your iSCSI solution, this webcast is for you.
After the webcast, check out the Q&A blog http://sniaesfblog.org/?p=608

Kubernetes in the Cloud (Part 2)
Jul 17 2019
60 mins
Michelle Tidwell, Program Director, IBM; Tom Clark, Distinguished Engineer, IBM; Matt Levan, Storage Solutions Architect, IBM
As enterprises move to a hybrid multi-cloud world, they are faced with many challenges. Decisions surrounding what technologies to use is one, but they are also seeing a transformation in traditional IT roles. The storage admins are asked to be more cloud savvy while new roles of cloud admins are emerging to handle the complexities of deploying simple and efficient clouds. Meanwhile, both these roles are asked to ensure a self-service environment is architected so that application developers can get resources needed to develop cutting edge apps not in weeks, days or hours, but in minutes.
In part one of this three part series, we covered the high level aspects of Kubernetes. This presentation will discuss key capabilities IT vendors are creating based on open source technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to build self-service infrastructure to support hybrid multi-cloud deployments.We'll cover:
•Persistent storage and how to specify it
•Ensuring application portability between Private and Public Clouds
•Building a self-service infrastructure (Helm, Operators)
•Selecting Block, File, Object (Traditional Storage, SDS)

Real-world digital workloads often behave very differently from what might be expected. The equipment used in a computing system may function differently than anticipated. Unknown quirks in complicated software and operations running alongside the workload may be doing more or less than the user initially supposed. To truly understand what is happening, the right approach is to test and monitor the systems' behaviors as real code is executed. By using measured data designers, vendors and service personnel can pinpoint the actual limits and bottlenecks that a particular workload is experiencing. Join the SNIA Solid State Storage Special Interest Group to learn how to be a part of the real-world workload revolution

Swordfish School: Introduction to SNIA Swordfish™ Features and Profiles
Ready to ride the wave to what's next in storage management? As a part of an ongoing series of educational materials to help speed your SNIA Swordfish™ implementation in this Swordfish School webcast, Storage standards expert Richelle Ahlvers (Broadcom Inc.) will provide an introduction to the Features and Profiles concepts, describe how they work together, and talk about how to use both Features and Profiles when implementing Swordfish.
Features are used by implementations to advertise to clients what functionality they are able to support. Profiles are detailed descriptions that describe down to the individual property level what functionality is required for implementations to advertise Features. The Profiles are used for in-depth analysis during development, making it easy for clients to determine which Features to require for different configurations. They are also used to determine certification / conformance requirements.
About SNIA Swordfish™
Designed with IT administrators and DevOps engineers in mind to provide simplified and scalable storage management for data center environments, SNIA Swordfish™ is a standard that defines the management of data storage and services as an extension to the Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF) Redfish application programming interface specification. Unlike proprietary interfaces, Swordfish is open and easy-to-adopt with broad industry support.

Introduction to Incast, Head of Line Blocking, and Congestion Management
Jun 18 2019

Sathish Gnanasekaran, Broadcom; John Kim, Mellanox; J Metz, Cisco; Tim Lustig, Mellanox
For a long time, the architecture and best practices of storage networks have been relatively well-understood. Recently, however, advanced capabilities have been added to storage that could have broader impacts on networks than we think.
The three main storage network transports - Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and InfiniBand – all have mechanisms to handle increased traffic, but they are not all affected or implemented the same way. For instance, placing a protocol such as NVMe over Fabrics can mean very different things when looking at one networking method in comparison to another.
Unfortunately, many network administrators may not understand how different storage solutions place burdens upon their networks. As more storage traffic traverses the network, customers face the risk of congestion leading to higher-than-expected latencies and lower-than expected throughput. Watch this webinar to learn:
•Typical storage traffic patterns
•What is Incast, what is head of line blocking, what is congestion, what is a slow drain, and when do these become problems on a network?
•How Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand handle these effects
•The proper role of buffers in handling storage network traffic
•Potential new ways to handle increasing storage traffic loads on the network

New Landscape of Network Speeds
May 21 2019
66 mins
David Chalupsky, Intel; Craig Carlson, Marvell; Peter Onufryck, Microchip; John Kim, Mellanox
In the short period from 2014-2018, Ethernet equipment vendors have announced big increases in line speeds, shipping 25, 50, and 100 Gigabits-per -second (Gb/s) speeds and announcing 200/400 Gb/s. At the same time Fibre Channel vendors have launched 32GFC, 64GFC and 128GFC technology while InfiniBand has reached 200Gb/s (called HDR) speeds.
But who exactly is asking for these faster new networking speeds, and how will they use them? Are there servers, storage, and applications that can make good use of them? How are these new speeds achieved? Are new types of signaling, cables and transceivers required? How will changes in PCIe standards keep up? And do the faster speeds come with different distance limitations?
Watch this SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webcast to learn how these new speeds are achieved, where they are likely to be deployed for storage, and what infrastructure changes are needed to support them.

Everything You Wanted to Know...But Were Too Proud to Ask - The Memory Pod
May 16 2019
62 mins
Alan Bumgarner, Intel; Alex McDonald, NetApp; John Kim, Mellanox
Traditionally, much of the IT infrastructure that we've built over the years can be divided fairly simply into storage (the place we save our persistent data), network (how we get access to the storage and get at our data) and compute (memory and CPU that crunches on the data). In fact, so successful has this model been that a trip to any cloud services provider allows you to order (and be billed for) exactly these three components.
We build effective systems in a cost-optimal way by using appropriate quantities of expensive and fast memory (DRAM for instance) to cache our cheaper and slower storage. But currently fast memory has no persistence at all; it's only storage that provides the application the guarantee that storing, modifying or deleting data does exactly that.
Memory and storage differ in other ways. For example, we load from memory to registers on the CPU, perform operations there, and then store the results back to memory by using byte addresses. This load/store technology is different from storage, where we tend to move data back and fore between memory and storage in large blocks, by using an API (application programming interface).
New memory technologies are challenging these assumptions. They look like storage in that they're persistent, if a lot faster than traditional disks or even Flash based SSDs, but we address them in bytes, as we do memory like DRAM, if more slowly. Persistent memory (PM) lies between storage and memory in latency, bandwidth and cost, while providing memory semantics and storage persistence. In this webcast, SNIA experts will discuss:
•Traditional uses of storage and memory as a cache
•How can we build and use systems based on PM?
•What would a system with storage, persistent memory and DRAM look like?
•Do we need a new programming model to take advantage of PM?
•How we might take better advantage of this new technology

Matt Baldwin, NetApp and Former Founder StackPoint Cloud; Ingo Fuchs, NetApp; Mike Jochimsen, Kaminario
Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes promises simplified management of cloud workloads at scale, whether on-premises, hybrid, or in a public cloud infrastructure, allowing effortless movement of workloads from cloud to cloud. By some reckonings, it is being deployed at a rate several times faster than virtualization.
In this presentation, we'll introduce Kubernetes and present use cases that make clear where and why you would want to use it in your IT environment. We'll also focus on the enterprise requirements of orchestration and containerization, and specifically on the storage aspects and best practices.
•What is Kubernetes? Why would you want to use it?
•How does Kubernetes help in a multi-cloud/private cloud environment?
•How does Kubernetes orchestrate & manage storage? Can Kubernetes use Docker?
•How do we provide persistence and data protection?
•Example use cases

Transactional Models and their Storage Requirements
Apr 9 2019
58 mins
Alex McDonald, Vice-Chair SNIA Europe, and Office of the CTO, NetApp; Paul Talbut, SNIA Europe General Manager
We're all accustomed to transferring money from one bank account to another; a credit to the payer becomes a debit to the payee. But that model uses a specific set of sophisticated techniques to accomplish what appears to be a simple transaction. We're also aware of how today we can order goods online, or reserve an airline seat over the Internet. Or even simpler, we can update a photograph on Facebook. Can these applications use the same models, or are new techniques required?
One of the more important concepts in storage is the notion of transactions, which are used in databases, financials, and other mission critical workloads. However, in the age of cloud and distributed systems, we need to update our thinking about what constitutes a transaction. We need to understand how new theories and techniques allow us to undertake transactional work in the face of unreliable and physically dispersed systems. It's a topic full of interesting concepts (and lots of acronyms!). In this webcast, we'll provide a brief tour of traditional transactional systems and their use of storage, we'll explain new application techniques and transaction models, and we'll discuss what storage systems need to look like to support these new advances.
And yes, we'll explain all the acronyms and nomenclature too.
You will learn:
• A brief history of transactional systems from banking to Facebook
• How the Internet and distributed systems have changed and how we view transactions
• An explanation of the terminology, from ACID to CAP and beyond
• How applications, networks & particularly storage have changed to meet these demands

Why Composable Infrastructure?
Feb 13 2019
60 mins
Philip Kufeldt, Univ. of California, Santa Cruz; Mike Jochimsen, Kaminario; Alex McDonald, NetApp
Cloud data centers are by definition very dynamic. The need for infrastructure availability in the right place at the right time for the right use case is not as predictable, nor as static, as it has been in traditional data centers. These cloud data centers need to rapidly construct virtual pools of compute, network and storage based on the needs of particular customers or applications, then have those resources dynamically and automatically flex as needs change. To accomplish this, many in the industry espouse composable infrastructure capabilities, which rely on heterogeneous resources with specific capabilities which can be discovered, managed, and automatically provisioned and re-provisioned through data center orchestration tools. The primary benefit of composable infrastructure results in a smaller grained sets of resources that are independently scalable and can be brought together as required. In this webcast, SNIA experts will discuss:
•What prompted the development of composable infrastructure?
•What are the solutions?
•What is composable infrastructure?
•Enabling technologies (not just what's here, but what's needed…)
•Status of composable infrastructure standards/products
•What's on the horizon – 2 years? 5 Years

Networking Requirements for Hyperconvergence
Feb 5 2019
61 mins
Christine McMonigal, Intel; J Metz, Cisco; Alex McDonald, NetApp
"Why can't I add a 33rd node?"
One of the great advantages of Hyperconvergence infrastructures (also known as "HCI") is that, relatively speaking, they are extremely easy to set up and manage. In many ways, they're the "Happy Meals" of infrastructure, because you have compute and storage in the same box. All you need to do is add networking.
In practice, though, many consumers of HCI have found that the "add networking" part isn't quite as much of a no-brainer as they thought it would be. Because HCI hides a great deal of the "back end" communication, it's possible to severely underestimate the requirements necessary to run a seamless environment. At some point, "just add more nodes" becomes a more difficult proposition.
In this webinar, we're going to take a look behind the scenes, peek behind the GUI, so to speak. We'll be talking about what goes on back there, and shine the light behind the bezels to see:
•The impact of metadata on the network
•What happens as we add additional nodes
•How to right-size the network for growth
•Tricks of the trade from the networking perspective to make your HCI work better
•And more…
Now, not all HCI environments are created equal, so we'll say in advance that your mileage will necessarily vary. However, understanding some basic concepts of how storage networking impacts HCI performance may be particularly useful when planning your HCI environment, or contemplating whether or not it is appropriate for your situation in the first place.

File vs. Block vs. Object Storage
Feb 5 2019
66 mins
Alex McDonald, Vice-Chair SNIA Europe and NetApp
When it comes to storage, a byte is a byte is a byte, isn't it? One of the enduring truths about simplicity is that scale makes everything hard, and with that comes complexity. And when we're not processing the data, how do we store it and access it?
In this webcast, we will compare three types of data access: file, block and object storage, and the access methods that support them. Each has its own set of use cases, and advantages and disadvantages. Each provides simple to sophisticated management of the data, and each makes different demands on storage devices and programming technologies.
Perhaps you're comfortable with block and file, but are interested in investigating the more recent class of object storage and access. Perhaps you're happy with your understanding of objects, but would really like to understand files a bit better, and what advantages or disadvantages they have compared to each other. Or perhaps you want to understand how file, block and object are implemented on the underlying storage systems – and how one can be made to look like the other, depending on how the storage is accessed. Join us as we discuss and debate:
Storage devices
•How different types of storage drive different management & access solutions
•Where everything is in fixed-size chunks
•SCSI and SCSI-based protocols, and how FC and iSCSI fit in
•When everything is a stream of bytes
•NFS and SMB
•When everything is a blob
•HTTP, key value and RESTful interfaces
•When files, blocks and objects collide

Sagi Grimberg, Lightbits; J Metz, Cisco; Tom Reu, Chelsio
In the storage world, NVMe™ is arguably the hottest thing going right now. Go to any storage conference – either vendor- or vendor-neutral, and you'll see NVMe as the latest and greatest innovation. It stands to reason, then, that when you want to run NVMe over a network, you need to understand NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF).
TCP – the long-standing mainstay of networking – is the newest transport technology to be approved by the NVM Express organization. This can mean really good things for storage and storage networking – but what are the tradeoffs?
In this webinar, the lead author of the NVMe/TCP specification, Sagi Grimberg, and J Metz, member of the SNIA and NVMe Boards of Directors, will discuss:
•What is NVMe/TCP
•How NVMe/TCP works
•What are the trade-offs?
•What should network administrators know?
•What kind of expectations are realistic?
•What technologies can make NVMe/TCP work better?

There are many kinds of treatments for children with autism, such as applied behavioral analysis, educational interventions, and medication.
ABA is a type of behavior program. It can be used in school, in a therapy setting, and at home. There are a number of different kinds of ABA programs. One is called discrete trial training (DTT). This is a structured method of teaching. It involves breaking a lesson down into steps, providing prompts so that the child does the task, and having consequences for the child's performance. For example, if a task is done as instructed, then a reward is given.
Other types of ABA programs include pivotal response training (PRT). This approach focuses on what motivates the child to learn. If the child chooses to play with a certain toy, then that choice can be used to teach a skill. For example, learning colors. PRT also involves teaching the child in real ways. For example, you might teach a child how to tie a shoe. Then, the reward could be to play outside, instead of giving them candy.
Applied verbal behavior (VB) is another program. It involves helping the child gain verbal skills. The teacher breaks lessons down into small trials, gives prompts, and provides feedback to reinforce the desired behavior. The goal is to have the child use his or her verbal skills to communicate their needs.
In the school setting, there are other programs that may be used. The relationship-based developmental program is one example. This focuses on what developmental level the child is at, how the child is progressing emotionally, how the child responds to the environment, and what types of social relationships the child has.
A program called treatment and education of autistic and related communication-handicapped children (TEACCH) is also used in schools. In general, this involves a structured schedule. The schedule includes tasks that focus on certain skills. For example, verbal skills, social skills, and daily activities.
For children with communication difficulties, there are alternative communication systems that can be taught, such as:
In addition, there are other methods that may help children with autism in the educational setting:
Medication may be prescribed to help reduce some of the symptoms of autism, such as anxiety. Other medicines may be prescribed to treat serious behavior problems.
