Public Release:  Cost of Arctic methane release could be 'size of global economy' warn experts

Economic modelling shows that the methane emissions caused by shrinking sea ice from just one area of the Arctic could come with a global price tag of 60 trillion dollars -- the size of the world economy in 2012

University of Cambridge

Researchers have warned of an "economic time-bomb" in the Arctic, following a ground-breaking analysis of the likely cost of methane emissions in the region.

Writing in a Comment piece in the journal, Nature, academics argue that a significant release of methane from thawing permafrost in the Arctic could have dire implications for the world's economy. The researchers, from Cambridge and Rotterdam, have for the first time calculated the potential economic impact of a scenario some scientists consider increasingly likely - that methane from the East Siberian Sea will be emitted as a result of the thaw.

This constitutes just a fraction of the vast reservoirs of methane in the Arctic, but scientists believe that the release of even a small proportion of these reserves could trigger possibly catastrophic climate change. According to the new assessment, the emission of methane below the East Siberian Sea alone would also have a mean global impact of 60 trillion dollars.

The ground-breaking Comment piece was co-authored by Gail Whiteman, from Erasmus University; Chris Hope, Reader in Policy Modelling at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge; and Peter Wadhams, Professor of Ocean physics at the University of Cambridge.

"The global impact of a warming Arctic is an economic time-bomb", Whiteman, who is Professor of sustainability, management and climate change at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), said.

Wadhams added: "The imminent disappearance of the summer sea ice in the Arctic will have enormous implications for both the acceleration of climate change, and the release of methane from off-shore waters which are now able to warm up in the summer. This massive methane boost will have major implications for global economies and societies."

Most discussion about the economic implications of a warming Arctic focuses on benefits to the region, with increased oil-and-gas drilling and the opening up of new shipping routes that could attract investments of hundreds of billions of dollars. However, the effects of melting permafrost on the climate and oceans will be felt globally, the authors argue.

Applying an updated version of the modelling method used in the UK government's 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, and currently used by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the authors calculate the global consequences of the release of 50 gigatonnes of methane over a decade from thawing permafrost beneath the East Siberian Sea.

"The methane release would bring forward the date at which the global mean temperature rise exceeds 2 degrees C by between 15 and 35 years," said Chris Hope. "In the absence of climate-change mitigation measures, the PAGE09 model calculates that it would increase mean global climate impacts by $60 trillion."

If other impacts such as ocean acidification are factored in, the cost would be much higher. Some 80% of these costs will be borne by developing countries, as they experience more extreme weather, flooding, droughts and poorer health, as Arctic warming affects climate.

The research also explored the impact of a number of later, longer-lasting or smaller pulses of methane, and the authors write that, in all these cases, the economic cost for physical changes to the Arctic is "steep".

The authors write that global economic institutions and world leaders should "kick-start investment in rigorous economic modelling" and consider the impacts of a changing Arctic landscape as far outweighing any "short-term gains from shipping and extraction".

They argue that economic discussions today are missing the big picture on Arctic change. "Arctic science is a strategic asset for human economies because the region drives critical effects in our biophysical, political and economic systems," write the academics. Neither the World Economic Forum nor the International Monetary Fund currently recognise the economic danger of Arctic change.

According to Whiteman, "Global leaders and the WEF and IMF need to pay much more attention to this invisible time-bomb. The mean impacts of just this one effect -- $60 trillion -- approaches the $70-trillion value of the world economy in 2012."

SEGA delays Yakuza of the End in Japan

Cites "various circumstances".

SEGA has delayed the Japanese launch of zombie Yakuza spin-off Of The End following last week's earthquake and tsunami.

The game, which was due out on 17th March, is now listed as TBA.

The move follows Sony's decision to delay the Japanese launch of racing game MotorStorm: Apocalypse.

SEGA said the Yakuza delay was the result of "various circumstances", Andriasang reports.

SEGA announced Of the End last September. It sees familiar franchise faces Kazuma, Goro, Ryuji and Shun ditch their mobster day jobs to protect the streets of Kamurocho from hordes of zombies.

No word yet on when Yakuza: Of The End will arrive on these shores or for which platforms. Yakuza 4 is out in the UK this Friday.

Reader Reviews

It's back. There's no stopping it.

Well chaps, you've excelled yourselves. We had a tremendous response last week, and even more reviews in time for this Thursday's edition. So, we've been forced to hold some of them over - apologies for that - but we shall endeavour to post them all in the fullness of time. We may well start upping the number that we include in each instalment, too!

Anyway, no doubt you are wondering about this week's prize! And given the winner, we've decided to make it a Cube game. Not a good one, obviously, but we're working on it. So, this week's winner will take home a copy of the, er, inspired WWE Crush Hour from THQ [this originally said Take-Two, but I was being distracted by F-Zero GX so it's an understandable error -Ed]. It's a US copy, but we're sure he'll have no trouble firing it up. We're also throwing in a "squidgy Cube toy" for his nipper. Aren't we the best?

Marlene Reaver heard the news and called nine friends who ride a Freedom Transit bus line with her once a week to breakfast or lunch in Gettysburg.

"I think people are starting to realize the service we have here," she said. "I'm just so thrilled that we're going to have it for summertime."

Transit officials announced Wednesday they would continue service on the Blue Line now that it is averaging more than three riders per hour. But now, they caution, that average must go up in the next six months to five riders per hour or the line will be cut.

The Blue Line was originally established in part to help seniors and the poor reach doctors offices in downtown Gettysburg. But officials considered cutting the bus line in August of last year because the number of riders was below expectations.

Reaver and other public transportation advocates began a campaign to save the Blue Line and soon after transit officials voted to continue the service for another six months. At the time of that decision, they announced the bus line must average three passengers per hour by April of this year or else the line will be cut.

Now, an average of 3.4 people are riding the Blue Line each hour, enough, according to transit officials to extend the service for another six months with a goal of reaching five passengers per hour by October.

"I wasn't confident that we would hit three passengers per hour and with that success I wouldn't underestimate the sort of grassroots movement to get to five," said Richard Farr, executive director for York Adams Transportation Authority. "The line's continued survival depends on hitting five passengers per hour."

Currently, the Blue Line travels through west Gettysburg and passes a pharmacy, physical-therapy practice, Gettysburg Hospital, and other healthcare facilities.

The Blue Line saw barely 4,000 riders in the past fiscal year. In comparison, the Lincoln Line, which primarily serves the tourist market, has seen about 18,000 riders. And the Gray Line, which serves Gettysburg College, carried 27,000 riders.

Transit officials are tasked with meeting an overall ridership goal of seven passengers per hour to continue the Freedom Transit program. Officials say few riders on the Blue Line has dragged down the overall ridership levels and threatened the whole project.

"I am very hopeful, especially with the price of gas, that people will recognize what a great service this is and keep riding," Reaver said.

Hannah Arendt: Key Concepts, Durham: Acumen Publishing, 2014

Publication Excerpt

Hannah Arendt (1906–75) is one of the most interesting thinkers of modern times, and her ideas have had profound influence across philosophy, political theory, law, history, international relations, sociology and literature. Presenting new and powerful ways to think about human freedom and responsibility, Arendt’s work has provoked intense debate and controversy. Hannah Arendt: Key Concepts explores the central ideas of Arendt’s thought, such as freedom, action, power, judgement, evil, forgiveness and the social. Bringing together an international team of contributors, the essays provide lucid accounts of Arendt’s fundamental themes and their ethical and political implications. The specific concepts Arendt deployed to make sense of the human condition, the phenomena of political violence, terror and totalitarianism, and the prospects of sustaining a shared public world are all examined.

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks debuts at No. 1 | EW.com

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks debuts at No. 1

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks debuts at No. 1. The 50 Cent colleague fights off new top 10 releases from Brandy, The Cure, and Dave Matthews Band

Lloyd Banks

(Lloyd Banks: Mark Mainz/Getty Images/NewsCom)

He got rich, he didn’t die tryin’, and now, 50 Cent is helping his friends get rich, too. Rapper Lloyd Banks has spun his fame from his appearance on 50’s ”Get Rich or Die Tryin”’ and his membership in 50 side combo G-Unit into a No. 1 debut on the Billboard album chart for his first solo release, ”The Hunger for More.” He sold 434,000 discs, according to SoundScan, and sent last week’s chart-topper, Jadakiss’ ”Kiss of Death,” tumbling to No. 4, on sales of 122,000, about half what it sold when it debuted last week. Meanwhile, Usher’s ”Confessions” held firm in second place for a fourth week (after spending nine weeks at No. 1), selling another 148,000 copies, virtually the same as last week.

Banks was one of five new entries in the top 10. Brandy’s ”Afrodisiac” debuted at No. 3 on sales of 131,000. Rapper Lil’ Wayne’s fourth album, ”Tha Carter,” entered the chart in fifth place and sold 116,000 copies. The Cure enjoyed the second highest chart position of their quarter-century career with their new self-titled album, which debuted at No. 7. And Dave Matthews Band’s live CD/DVD set ”The Gorge” debuted at No. 10.

Previous top 10 records still holding on included the Beastie Boys’ ”To the 5 Boroughs” (down three spots to No. 6), Gretchen Wilson’s ”Here for the Party” (sliding two slots to No. 8), and the ”Spider-Man 2” soundtrack, also slipping two notches to finish at No. 9.

New videos from Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood

9181__blige_lWhat do Mary J. Blige (left) and Carrie Underwood have in common?

Well, both ladies have new videos that feature them looking glam while chilling out in an apartment setting. In my mind, though, Blige’s is the vastly superior clip. For starters, she scores a casting coup, getting potential Oscar nominee Terrence Howard to play her love interest in ”Be Without You,” currently playing at Not sure whose idea it was to shoot the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul through a medicine cabinet, but I’m just happy Mary’s back with a single worthy of those powerful pipes, and a video that captures the highs and lows of an intense love affair. (And by the way, where can I get my hands on a cell phone like Blige’s? Nice!)

As for Underwood’s ”Jesus Take the Wheel,” playing over at Yahoo Music, it’s a half-baked concept video that doesn’t ask the singer to do much more than bend at the knees. Admittedly, the American Idol winner looks great, but what’s with the scenes showing that elderly man trying to feed his ailing wife, and the young married couple arguing over the mail? Even Underwood fans have to admit, they’re pretty random, no?

Which video do you like better? Holla back!

PRESIDENTIAL ROLE Daniel Day Lewis looks unrecognizable as Abraham Lincoln

PRESIDENTIAL ROLE Daniel Day Lewis looks unrecognizable as Abraham Lincoln (David James)

Genre: Drama; Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tommy Lee Jones; Director: Steven Spielberg; Release Date Limited: 11/09/2012; Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures

As the title character of Steven Spielberg’s solemnly transfixing Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis is tall and elegantly stooped, with thatchy gray-black hair, sunken cheeks, and a grin that tugs at the corners of his mouth whenever he tries to win someone over by telling them a good story (which is often). Day-Lewis looks so much like the photographs of Abraham Lincoln that you don’t have to squint, even a bit, to buy that it’s him. He nails Lincoln’s thousand-yard stare — a gaze directed at once inward (at the whir of his own mental machinery) and outward (at the cosmic hum of history). Day-Lewis’ performance has a beautiful gravitas, yet there’s nothing too severe about it. He gives Lincoln a surprisingly plainspoken, reedy high voice that retains the courtly cadences of the South. That voice — from everything we know, it’s quite accurate — makes Lincoln sound like Will Rogers as a professor of human nature. This Lincoln lives deep inside his own unruly-haired head, yet he loves the people around him, even the ignorant (and racist) common folk, who repay the favor by loving him back. And that’s where he draws his political force.

Lincoln, which Spielberg has directed from a lyrical, ingeniously structured screenplay by Tony Kushner, is one of the most authentic biographical dramas I’ve ever seen. But that doesn’t mean it’s a stiff-jointed history lesson. The movie is grand and immersive. It plugs us into the final months of Lincoln’s presidency with a purity that makes us feel transported as though by time machine. (Kushner is the husband of EW columnist Mark Harris.)

Most of the film unfolds in January 1865, shortly after Lincoln’s reelection, when he knows that the North is going to win the Civil War. The real battle for him now is the fight against slavery. Three commissioners from the Confederacy head up to Washington City, and Lincoln is confident that he could have their surrender within a week. But before that can happen, he is driven to pass the 13th Amendment, which would outlaw slavery. The Democrats hate the amendment, and even Lincoln’s liberal Republican comrades want him to delay the vote. Only Lincoln grasps the stakes: that once the Civil War is over, the amendment won’t pass — it will be blocked by the Southern states. Winning the war could prove a Pyrrhic victory. Only by threading the amendment through the eye of a legislative needle can he alter the course of history.

Lincoln features a great deal of incendiary speech-making on the floor of the House of Representatives, and Kushner’s script, which is based in part on the Doris Kearns Goodwin book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, has a lot of fun weaving insults of astonishing brazenness into oratory that lays bare the issues in all their gripping moral complexity. Spielberg, denying himself visual fireworks, frames the action with a kind of stately tension. He thrillingly demythologizes Lincoln by placing us inside Lincoln’s experience — shut up by himself (or with his querulous cabinet) in the drab meeting rooms of the White House, or in his bedroom with the ambitious, haunted Mary Todd Lincoln (Sally Field), who still blames Abe for the death of their son Willie. Field’s performance is shattering — in a few furious scenes, she redefines this First Lady as a woman whose supposed madness reflected a humane fervor as sterling as her husband’s.

As the congressional fight rages on, Lincoln orchestrates it all. He seduces, cajoles, begs, and tyrannizes. He offers patronage jobs — bribes — to the Democratic congressmen who support slavery. He courts but also tamps down the influence of Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), the abolitionist who’s so possessed by the cause that he might alienate any congressman on the fence. And through it all, Lincoln must delay the war’s end — without breaking the people’s faith. The Lincoln we see here is that rare movie creature, a heroic thinker. He has the serpentine intellect of a master lawyer, infused with a poet’s passion.

Lincoln brilliantly dramatizes the delicacy of politics, along with the raw brutality of it. All that’s pushing the amendment forward is Abe Lincoln’s will, his ability to do anything — even flirt with impeachable deceptions — to fulfill his vision of justice. And that’s why he spends the movie alone in spirit. When he bangs his hand on the table, roaring at his lobbyists to procure him the votes he needs because he’s ”clothed in immense power,” we’re seeing the birth of the presidency as we know it — a force that can shape the consciousness of the world. Lincoln is a stirring paradox, a dream of history as it might truly have happened. A

The Amazing Race recap: ' |

The Amazing Race recap: Stay in Nightclub School, Kids

Eight teams struggle to pour a perfect pyramid of cocktails or pretend to be DJs at a Malaysian nightclub

Amazing Race

The Amazing Race

Season 24, Ep. 4 | Aired Mar 16

Party Time! Excellent. All the racers deserve a pyramid of cocktails for surviving the most stressful party to ever take place in a Malaysian penthouse. Well, except Luke. Oh, what’s that? Luke just broke everyone else’s glasses? Okay then. NO DRINKS. The cruelest fate.

The Leg 4 party kicks off as one member from the eight remaining teams must jump on a bamboo trampoline – manned by a dozen or so also-bouncing, well-costumed Murut people of the Borneo region – and reach for a flag adjusted to their heights in the Leaps and Bounds RoadBlock.

Most racers achieve this with minimal/comical trouble, but a lack of “Cord”-ination keeps Cowboy Cord from succeeding until his whopping 47th try. It’s fine, though – they’re still so far ahead it doesn’t matter. Big Easy defies everyone’s expectations by not breaking the bamboo trampoline. It’d have been funny if he had and they’d try to mend it using some of the thousands of Harlem Globetrotters sweatbands these guys seem to have lying around (How adorable was that beaming kid who received one?!), but of course that would have been unfair. The point of a bamboo trampoline seems to be that it in no way resembles an actual trampoline. Obviously!

The bamboo non-trampoline absolutely destroys poor Jessica’s feet, while Rachel encounters the opposite problem; she keeps slipping on the bamboo because of her pantyhose. “Ladies at home, if you’re wearing pantyhose, don’t try to do jumps on trampolines!” Rachel warns the TV-viewing audience, most of whom gape back at her and say “Woman, why in HELL are you wearing pantyhose?” It’s beastly hot outside, plus, if no one is forcing you to wear pantyhose then why would you ever do that? But I guess it’s so her legs won’t look pasty on camera. So if it’s a question of not lookin’ good vs. discomfort/infections, then Rachel’s gotta go infections.

A particularly zealous hugger seems determined to never let Caroline go, but eventually all the teams grab their flags and make it over to the airport, where they’ll fly from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. We’ve got three flights: Flight 1 (Jet and Cord, Leo and Jamal, Dave and Connor) lands an hour and a half ahead of the others at 9:42 p.m., but Flight 3 (Caroline and Jennifer, Brendon and Rachel, Jessica and John) ends up barely edging out Flight 2 (Margie and Luke, Flight Time and Big Easy) due to a delay. Now that’s what I call The Amazing Race! Flight delays! They’ll getcha. It’s nice to have some chaos up in here for a change. [Cue thumping house music…..]

Apple Shows New Intel Notebooks, Software

By Daniel Drew Turner  |  Posted 2006-01-10 Print this article Print

At the Macworld Expo, CEO Steve Jobs emphasizes the speed of the first two Macintosh computer models to be based on Intel chips and demonstrates updated versions of iLife and iWork.

SAN FRANCISCO—Once again, Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs succeeded in confounding any one rumormongers prognostications. During his Tuesday keynote address opening the Macworld Expo conference here, he unveiled not one but two of the first-ever Macintosh computer models to be based on chips from Intel Corp. In addition, Jobs demonstrated updated—and Intel-ready—versions of Apples iLife and iWork software suites of creative and productivity applications, respectively. Midway through his speech, Jobs introduced Intel Corp. CEO and president Paul Otellini, who entered the stage through a curtain of smoke, clad in a "bunny suit," or clean suit used in the production of processors.
The two said the companies were "a little ahead of schedule" in their goal, announced last June, of producing Macs powered by Intel processors.
As proof, Jobs debuted a new iMac model based on Intels new dual-core Core Duo processor, formerly code-named Yonah. The new iMac became available Tuesday. Perhaps to minimize the perception of a sea change in the product line, or to reassure potential purchasers of these or the remaining Power PC-based models, Jobs stressed that the new iMac will retain the same design, the same features and the same pricing as the models introduced in October. Inside, however, the new iMacs will be all-new. The 17-inch model, which retails for $1,299, includes a 1.83GHz Core Duo processor with a 667MHz bus, 512MB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and an 8x SuperDrive, as well as Airport Extreme wireless connectivity and a 128MB ATI Radeon X1600 PCI Express graphics card. The 20-inch model, priced at $1,699, ups the processor spec to a 2.0GHz Core Duo and the hard drive to 250GB. Jobs said the new models were two to three times faster than the previous model, the PowerPC G5. He quoted SPECint (integer) and SPECfp (floating point) test ratings to support this statement. However, he said, in real-world usage, not all applications will see that corresponding speed gain. All of the days presentations were made on the new Intel-based iMacs, with no glitches. Jobs said the new iLife 06 and iWork 06 suites ship as UB (Universal Binaries); that is, with Intel-native and Power PC-native versions. In addition, Jobs introduced the MacBook Pro, a PowerBook replacement laptop. "Were done with Power," Jobs said, referring to both the name and the PowerPC processor. He said the company had struggled, and failed, to mitigate the heat issues of PowerPC G5 processors in notebooks. Jobs said that from now on, there will be a dual processor in every MacBook Pro, making the new model four to five times faster than the PowerBook G4. "Its the fastest Mac notebook ever," he said, "and the thinnest." The MacBook Pro, which will ship in February, will weigh 5.6 pounds and be only 1 inch thick. Read more here about the first Intel-based iMacs. The MacBook Pro will feature a 15.4-inch LCD display that, Jobs said, "is as bright as our Cinema Displays." The notebook will also include a built-in iSight video camera, an Apple Remote with Front Row, DVI (Digital Video Interactive) out, one FireWire 400 port, two USB 2.0 ports and an ExpressCard slot. The notebook will also feature Mag Safe, a new power adaptor connector held onto the case by magnets. If the cable is tugged, the adaptor will release safely, preventing the possible fall of the notebook. "Nobody thinks of the details as Apple does," said Bob ODonnell, vice president with IDC in San Mateo, Calif., adding that the notebooks price was at the high end. "Its a premium expression and an equally premium price—classic Apple in that regard." Next Page: Modem issues and updates to iLife and iWork.

Hitachi, Matsushita, Toshiba Partner on LCD Displays - 2

By Associated Press  |  Posted 2004-08-31 Print this article Print

Japan's Hitachi, Matsushita Electric and Toshiba struck a deal to jointly make displays for flat-screen televisions, starting as early as July 2006.

TOKYO—Japans Hitachi Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. and Toshiba Corp. struck a deal to jointly make displays for flat-screen televisions, starting as early as July 2006, the companies said Tuesday.

The companies plan to spend a total 110 billion yen ($1 billion) on a new plant for large liquid-crystal displays in eastern Chiba on the site of Hitachis LCD panel-assembling facility, they said in a statement. The three companies investment will comprise half the cost, while investments from suppliers are expected to cover the remainder.

Annual output will gradually increase until it reaches 2.5 million 32-inch LCD displays for TVs by September 2008, they said.

Competition among flat-screen TV makers has become heated in recent years, as a growing number of electronics companies and PC makers vie for a foothold in the global TV market. The rivalry coincides with the spread of digital TV broadcasts, which are clearer than traditional analog broadcasts.

Sharp Corp. leads Japanese electronics companies in LCD and plasma TVs. But entertainment giant Sony Corp., Hitachi and Toshiba have been spending to develop new TV technologies. Dell Inc. and Gateway Inc. of the United States also have entered the fray with their own thinner displays.

Hitachi, Matsushita Electric and Toshiba predict the global market—around 3 million flat-screen, LCD TVs last year—will expand five-fold by 2006.

Hitachi and Toshiba are based in Tokyo. Matsushita Electric, which makes the Panasonic and National brands, has its headquarters in the western city of Osaka.

At the close of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Tuesday, Hitachi fell 0.8 percent to 688 yen ($6.25), Matsushita Electric fell 0.1 percent to 1,471 yen ($13.37) and Toshiba fell 1.2 percent to 405 yen ($3.68).

Cisco, EMC, VMware Team Up on Networking, Cloud Training

By Jeffrey Burt  |  Posted 2012-04-04 Print this article Print

The longtime partners will offer educational solutions for everything from virtualization and unified networking to big data, cloud and data center infrastructure.

Cisco Systems is once again teaming up with EMC and VMware, this time to offer IT professionals technical training in a wide range of areas impacting the data center, from networking and cloud computing to storage and virtualization.

The joint educational effort, announced April 2, comes at a time when technology trends, including cloud computing, big data and converged infrastructures, are significantly changing the way enterprise IT professionals run their data centers. Cisco, EMC and VMware are looking to give IT administrators the needed training to address these trends, according to Jeanne Beliveau-Dunn, vice president and general manager of Learning@Cisco.

Today's data center is composed of heterogeneous technologies, with the cloud blurring the lines between technology silos, Beliveau-Dunn said in a statement. IT organizations must cultivate new cloud architecture skills, understand how to use big data and maintain deep domain expertise with a renewed understanding of virtualization and technology convergence. With this offering, Cisco and EMC are leading the way in transforming skills for the next generation of IT professionals."

Those new skills will grow in importance as big data, unified networking, cloud computing and converged infrastructures transform not only what systems and technologies are put into the data center, but also the expertise IT administrators need to install, deploy and manage these environments.

With their joint education programs, Cisco, EMC and VMware will offer training and certifications that officials said will give tech professionals the skills to build and run these evolving data centers and leverage the benefits that the current computing trends offer.

Our solutions will provide organizations, as well as the IT professional, a prescriptive and simple way to acquire the right skills at the right time, regardless of where they are in their journey to cloud computing, addressing big data or employing a data science strategy," Tom Clancy, vice president of EMC Education Services, said in a statement.

The companies will create what officials call learning paths that will enable IT managers to get the training they need for their particular environments. They include paths for systems administrators and data center network architects. Courses will touch on Cisco-based data centers, EMC cloud infrastructures and services, data science and big data analytics.

Cisco, EMC and VMwareof which EMC owns a majorityhave been strong partners for several years, most significantly in creating Ciscos Unified Computing System. The UCS is a converged data center solution that includes not only Cisco server and networking products, but also EMC storage and VMware virtualization technologies.

The UCS, launched in 2009, has been a fast-selling product for Cisco, with more than 11,000 customers worldwide after three years on the market.

The companies later in 2009 created VCE, a joint venture designed to build integrated hardware and software platforms called Vblocks that leverage technologies from all three vendors.

Lawmakers Back Permanent U.S. Involvement with ICANN

By Roy Mark  |  Posted 2009-08-05 Print this article Print

With an agreement between the U.S. and ICANN set to expire Sept. 30 and some ICANN members clamoring for independence from the U.S., Reps. Henry Waxman and Rick Boucher call for a permanent deal with the nonprofit organization responsible for managing the assignment of domain names and IP addresses.

Key House leaders Aug. 4 called on Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to create a permanent relationship between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers and the U.S. government. A Joint Project Agreement between ICANN and the U.S. government is scheduled to expire Sept. 30.

"Rather than replacing the JPA with additional JPAs or Memoranda of Understandings that expire every few years, we believe the time has come for a permanent instrument to which ICANN and the Department of Commerce are co-signatories," House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman, D.-Calif., and Communications Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher, D-Va., wrote to Locke. "This statement of commitments and principles would ensure that ICANN remains perpetually accountable to the public and to all of its global stakeholders."

Founded in 1998, ICANN is responsible for managing the assignment of domain names and IP addresses. ICANN leaders have claimed the California nonprofit is ready for its independence from the U.S. government. American lawmakers have been just as adamant that the United States retain an interest.

"There is broad consensus among [Committee] members that the substantive ties between ICANN and the Commerce Department should be continued," Waxman and Boucher wrote.

Locke said in May he is giving "serious attention to the critical responsibilities" of his agency's role with respect to ICANN. Locke was responding to a letter from Sens. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, that the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, part of the Commerce Department, find a "permanent accountability mechanism to replace the oversight that has historically been provided by the department."

FCC Offers Guide for Improving Mobile Security

By Nathan Eddy  |  Posted 2012-12-20 Print this article Print

The free online tool creates a 10-step smartphone action plan to help consumers protect their mobile devices.

With mobile security threats up more than 350 percent since 2010 and smartphones increasingly becoming the dominant mode of communication for consumers, the Federal Communications Commission released an online tool, the Smartphone Security Checker, to help consumers protect their mobile devices.

The free online tool creates a 10-step smartphone action plan to help consumers protect their mobile devices from smartphone-related cyber-security threats. To develop the tool, the FCC teamed up with smartphone security experts from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Cyber Security Alliance, the CTIA wireless association, Lookout, and other public and private sector partners on mobile security best practices.

The FCC noted that almost half of Americans now own a smartphone and close to 20 percent have been the victim of mobile cyber-crime. The guide enables consumers to create a customized 10-step security checklist tailored to their smartphone's operating system, including Apple iOS, Google Android, BlackBerry devices or Microsoft's Windows Phone handsets.

The guide includes information on how to set pins and passwords for a smartphone, download security apps that enable remote locating and data wiping, back up the data on a smartphone if the device is lost or stolen and wipe data on an old phone. Information on where to go to donate, resell or recycle a phone; how to safely use public WiFi networks; and what steps to take if a phone is stolen is also in the guide.

The FCC's announcement is the organization's latest effort to combat the growing threat to mobile security. In April 2012, the FCC launched the Protects Initiative to combat mobile device theft and trafficking. The initiative enables consumers to call their wireless provider to report their wireless devices stolen, which allows their provider to deactivate the device and prevent it from being used on other networks.

According to security specialist Kaspersky Labs, even though users store most of their data on personal computers, more and more people are transferring personal files to their smartphones and tablets, and these devices tend to be significantly less well-protected than PCs, putting that information at a greater risk of loss.

A survey of smartphone and tablet users sponsored earlier this year by Kaspersky and conducted by Harris Interactive found such devices are generally much more vulnerable to cyber-criminals than personal computers. Sixteen percent of tablet owners and 18 percent of mobile phone users have no protection at all for their data. In addition, more than a half of those surveyed use only basic safeguards such as passwords and PIN codes that offer no protection against infection or data interception.

"Given the frequency of usage of security suites and the growth of threats for mobile devices, we can conclude that the most sensitive data is frequently stored on devices with the worst protection," the report noted. "Free WiFi hotspots present a real danger to users of mobile devices: They are the most popular means of mobile Internet connection, despite almost nonexistent security."

Best burger joints in Carmel

One of the top servers at Teddy's Burger Joint
Andi Wilson, Teddy's Burger Joint

Want a good burger? There are plenty of places to grab an ever-so-famous Big Mac or a Whopper. But, what about the burger places that have recently begun popping up in the Carmel area? Too many to mention? Below is my listing of my top five Carmel favs (maybe you'll even agree with me):

Number 5: Stacked Pickle, located at 12545 Old Meridian Street in Carmel, is known for being "your neighborhood restaurant & bar." They are a great place when you want to get a bite to eat, have a few adult beverages (or non-adult beverages), and enjoy watching a game or two. I consider the Stacked Pickle to be kind of a "where everybody knows your name" kind of joint (thanks for the line cliche, Gary Portnoy). But, really, they offer great burgers at decent prices (and yes, with a pickle). They even offer fried pickles.
Pros: Family friendly, friendly wait staff, decent prices, daily deals, carryout
Food Fav: Fried pickles
Social: Website, Facebook, Twitter

Number 4: Carmel Burgers, located at 5790 East Main Street in Carmel. Why is this number four on my list? Because it's one of the best. It's one of my favorites. Putting them fourth doesn't take away anything this amazing restaurant has to offer. Carmel Burgers come with some of the freshest toppings this side of the Mississippi (I don't know if that's true, I just like spelling Mississippi in my head while typing it out). But, these burgers are phenomenal. If you haven't tried one, you are missing out. Do they sell only burgers, you ask? Glad you asked. No. They sell gyros. Gyros! I love gyros. And hot dogs? Yes, siree. They have been featured on local news stations and even offer catering. How nice. Burgers in my home and I don't even have lift a finger. Try them. You will be full and happy.
Pros: Family friendly, friendly staff, great prices, great location, free Wi-Fi, faxable menu
Food Fav: Bello burger
Social: Website, Facebook, Twitter

Number 3: Teddy's Burger Joint, located at 1235 Keystone Way in Carmel (Remember the old Carrabba's?). Ahh, good old number three. This is a place that believes in "burgers & happiness." My family and I tried this place out. It got a few bad reviews after opening, but we still wanted to find out what all the fuss was about. We found out. Teddy's Burger Joint had some computer issues after opening, causing all sorts of problems. I can forgive that. Hopefully you can, too. Well, they certainly didn't have it the night we went. one thing we noticed (and this was a Friday night) right away was that children were everywhere. I mean, everywhere. They were even over in what I thought was the bar area. So, we asked our server, Mackenzie (who is an amazing server by the way. She even let me put her picture up so you'll know who she is when you visit - seriously, she's in high school and trying to make money - ask for her). She said they let children anywhere in the front of the restaurant and can do so because they do not sell hard liquor, only beer. Remember this so you aren't surprised or disappointed when you visit. They only sell beer as an adult beverage, and much of it is local/craft beer. Nice! They have all sorts of non-alcoholic beverages. I was a little hesitant on the burger and ended up ordering the Teddy's Burger with cheese (ahh, how I love cheese). Price? Good. Burger? Better. Now, they do have something called The Maverick. The manager suggested that if you want to ever try The Maverick (and it looked like only one guy from Plainfield successfully finished this sandwich), that you should start out with eating an entire meatloaf, and then two, and then maybe three. If you can eat three meatloaf, then you may be able to eat The Maverick. Here's the deal on The Maverick:
The Maverick (straight from their website): The Maverick Challenge will leave you full with 8 lbs of Sandwich to eat in just 60 Minutes. The current record is 12 minutes and 48 seconds. Do you think you are man enough? Give us 24 hours in advance and schedule a showdown today! EAT THE BURGER IN LESS THAN 60 MIN. and IT IS FREE!
They even have a play area for the children. Before we left, we were able to enjoy some very cool live music. I loved the garage doors and the barn type atmosphere (felt more like home to me).
Pros: Very child friendly, supports the community, child play room, burger challenge, live music (Fridays and Saturdays), they cater
Food Fav: They have amazing fries
Social: Website, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, iTunes

Number 2: Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream, located at 210 West Main Street in Carmel, is an amazing place to stop and eat when riding, walking, skating, etc., along the Monon Trail. When someone asks, "Who wants a burger?" I immediately think of Bub's. Why? Because their burgers are "uh-mazing," and they come with waffle fries. Oh.m.gosh. But, who wants to go to a place that's been there forever, anyway? Just check their line coming out the door - just about anyone who enjoys a good burger. Plus, they have an ice cream parlor. Can I get an amen? Check this out. They have a big burger, too. The Big Ugly was even featured on Man vs. Food. I think he ate three of them? To date, they have sold over 42,000 Big Uglies. Wow! Each burger is made from "fresh, hand pattied ground beef." They also have a wonderful Bison Burger. This place, the atmosphere, the location - it's just good all around.
Pros: Family friendly, ice cream parlor, locally owned, you can work off your meal on the Monon
Food Fav: The Bison Burger with waffle fries
Social: Website, Facebook, Twitter, Urbanspoon

Number 1: Good Old Muldoon's, located at 111 West Main Street in Carmel. "But wait," you say. "They are an Irish Bar." They sure are. But, that doesn't stop them from having an amazing burger. They have a Bleu Cheese Burger (my personal fav). This place, which was rated Best Neighborhood Bar in Indy for the third year in a row, is a compilation of tons of different food (and yes, even fish and chips). But, it's the people, the location, the staff, the everything about the place - and not just the burgers, that makes it one of my most favorite places to visit. Yes, this is a place you want to visit when you truly love to feel like they never want you to leave. They do, though. Want you to leave. These people live on those tips! I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting Muldoon's each time we go. I almost get a happy feeling in my belly because I know I'm going into a good, enjoyable atmosphere. It's an Irish Restaurant and Bar. But, they aren't going to shy away from meals they know everyone else will enjoy. They have a multitude of items on their menu for anyone to enjoy. I just wish they all spoke Irish. Oh, how I love listening to an Irish accent.
Pros: Kids welcome when restaurant is open, good location, live music, craft beer
Food Fav: Bleu Cheese Burger
Social: Website, Facebook, Twitter

I don't expect you to agree with everything I put on here. That's why it's called a "review." My personal opinion. But, I tell you what, when you're hankering for a burger and are in the Carmel area, I highly recommend one of these five places. I know I'll be back to them soon. Hope to see you there.

My #5 - The Stacked Pickle
My #5 - The Stacked Pickle The Stacked Pickle

Try their amazing fried pickles! The Stacked Pickle pickles (now that’s a mouthful) and burgers are a great necessity, especially when you're craving something salty.

My #4 - Carmel Burgers
My #4 - Carmel Burgers Carmel Burgers

If there was ever a place where I knew I could enjoy a delicious burger, have a family friendly atmosphere, and be close to home, it is the Carmel Burgers Restaurant.

My #3 - Teddy's Burger Joint
My #3 - Teddy's Burger Joint Teddy's Burger Joint

My #3 - Teddy's Burger Joint

Teddy's Burger Joint has three locations, but I really only worry about the one in Carmel. They have a great atmosphere. I feel like I can kick my feet back, relax, and enjoy a tasty pile of red meat all at the same time.

My #2 - Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream
My #2 - Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream Bub's Burgers

My #2 - Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream

Holy burger, this place has good burgers. I love that I can jump off my bicycle and go in for a hot, delicious meal. The staff is always ready for a large crowd. And what's better than topping off my meal with some ice cream after?

My #1 - Muldoon's
My #1 - Muldoon's Muldoon's

I love, love, love, this place. Have I mentioned I love it? I love their large choice of different types of food. I love the fact they are an Irish establishment (part Irish myself). I love the wait staff. They are just amazing. Great service. Delicious food. I can't say enough.

Complicated Mess: Who Is The Real Me?

I am complicated, really complicated I must say. People around me must have feel that too, but no one ever tells me that. I look like the average girl next door : not pretty, not clever, not rich. In school, I am labelled as a nerd. But strangely, i dont mind that people think I am buried under books all the time, because I know very well I am a very different inside. I become this different person, which is my true self out of school. I like to read, but I only read to ease my mind. I hate studying as much as anyone else. I love music and I sing, dance, laugh. I am a huge fan of entertainment. In school, however, i am a stressed out, serious, boring tight-***! Sometimes, I feel i am multi-faceted too. I am like a chameleon. I am different when I am with different people. So who is the real me???

from my experience it's all down to being shy and not being able to express yourself around certain people:)

Oh You sound exactly like me :)

This IS the real you.

Pitifully, humans are social beings, so when being exposed to different social environments, you adjust yourself to them, without even noticing, unless you are completely stupid and are dumb all the time :)

Don't worry, that's normal.

yeah, i make myself confused...hahah

I think most people tend to be different depending on the people they happen to be with (at least to a degree). I don't think it is anything to worry about, unless you think you are being phony. I'm sure you're not :)

I am different when I am with different people too. I am currently trying to take a look at myself and figure out the same thing. For most things I break it down to being a Gemini. I'm also starting to believe that I'll never know the real me however, for a more postive out look, as long as we can learn to love ourselves that all that matters.

Why I've Come Here, I Don't Know...answers? Thoughts?

i came across this search of a public anonymous blog...hoping to find some answers or feedback because i dont really know what more to do anymore....

i'm not happy with my life, many people may think i have a great life, but those who know me...know how much im suffering and for some reason, i can't control my emotions today...

i am 21 years old and i feel like my childhood was taken away from me and that i've missed out on a lot, i never got to go to prom, sleep over at peoples houses, and just do normal things, instead we were more provided with materialistic things, but i would trade that anytime any day for some freedom. When i look back and try to think of memories or stories to talk about and positive things, i can't think of that many and it makes it difficult for me during my present day when meeting new people and making new friends and conversating .... dont get me wrong, i love talking and having fun, but only you know in your mind whats going on when you see everyone else....

i dont consider myself a happy person and its eating away at me now.... theres a lot more, so i guess each blog will reveal itself....

Not to poke fun at you but at least you have memories of your childhood. I have fragments and bits/peaces of memories from the past. Most of my childhood is gone with most of my memories of even high school. If it makes you feel better I never did any of those things and never had anyone to encourage me to go on. Here is a phase I remember but don't know who said it.

Remember the past

Live for the moment

Plan for the future

Also try and remember to life as it comes, keep a smile on your face, and look for a way to brighten someones day even if your day has been crummy. :)

i wish i only had fragments because it definitely isn't a great childhood ...what happened with you if you dont mind me asking? thanks for the advice, ill try... i wish it was as easy as said, lol

I have never had a good memory; so I struggle in school and even now in struggle at work. But I still try and do my best. Life is hard for me too but somehow I manage to get by.
Even if I feel down, I try and make everyone around me smile and I hope you smile. :)

Sensual Lips

She had the most sensual lips I ever saw and she knew it. They were plump, deep red and pouty. Everytime our eyes met, she would bite her bottom lip, lock her fingers together and shift her body so that she was completely facing me. After several hours of this taunting, I eventually got the courage up to go over to her. Before I could even open my mouth with a masterful line, she grabbed my face, gently brushed her lips against mine and whispered "I want to kiss you, may I?"

As my brain was buzzing, I could only muster up the nerve to nod my head once. She immediately placed her lips over mine and I felt the softness and warmth of hers. Suddenly, I felt the gentle pushing of her tongue into my mouth seeking out mine. When they met, my knees buckled and a tingling sensation took over my body. The kiss was long, soft and sensual. She tasted like peaches.

She ended the kiss with a gentle nip of her teeth on my lower lip. As I attempted to catch my breath, she leaned to my ear and  said "I would like to do that again, please".

Aw, that's so cute. I think it's adorable that she asked you each time if you were okay with kissing her. Just goes to show, sometimes being polite is very sexy.

Now that's a kiss.... --DW

Yes it was, yes it was! Thank you for the comment CoffeeFirst.

Wickedties, your picture has changed! I know I responded to your story some months ago, but I want you to know that I return to your story again and again. It sort of describes my ideal of what a kiss should be - something you can get lost in with the person you love, a long and deep kiss where neither one of you wants to let go! Is there anything better in the world?

Keyboardkats. That is lovely to hear, thank you! *smiles*

My boyfriend has the most amazing lips.. He gets compliments all the time! He has the most gorgeous smile! And it makes me jealous! I'm just glad to call it mine (: and I get those lips all over me.... Lmao

Oceaneyedkay. We'll I would say lucky you.... And I'm sure he enjoys putting them all over you as you enjoy receiving; yup, lucky you!

Mmmmmmm I Wish Every Kiss Was That Sensual !
Thanks For Sharing

You\'re welcome senecawind!

That is how every kiss should be.

I agree Lordgray.

God knows I've had a few like that. I remember the all.

But what happened? Did you ever see her again? Did you ever kiss her again? You can't just leave us all there in suspense...
I'm a straight guy, but I can really relate to this story. I sometimes think kissing is even better than sex. You can really enjoy the person you love, caressing her tongue, feeling her teeth, breathing in her breath, drinking in her saliva, all you can's never enough!

Yes, Keyboardkats, I dated her for just shy of a year. We spent many many MANY nights kissing and other things and while that part of my life is over, I do think of her often, very fondly!! And I do agree, kissing is incredibly sensual and alluring...there is something about the intensity of a good kiss that gets-all-those-juices flowing.

I love confident girls :P

yes, it is definitely attractive.

I love men, but no matter how soft and gentle they are, there is just something so sensual and erotic about the kiss of another woman. great story.

LG76.....thank you and I fully agree!!

Well written. Very well written. I love the kiss of another woman. Nothing softer or sweeter.

LovingPink....I would agree 100%. And if she is a passionate kisser, I could kiss for hours and still be incredibly satisfied as there is nothing like a warm passionate kiss to get the juices flowing!!

That was very erotic!

Curiousjohnny69......thank you!! *smiles*

wow...I want one ;)

*smiles* well they say if you really want something you should go after it......I dont think you'd regret it.

Loveisconfusing, thank you!

This was soo sexy.

yes she was very sexy......and the moment was incredible. it was one of those moments that you will always remember, fondly and with excitement.

ToDaRoof, you are welcome!!

hey you.....anytime, that is if you can get your arse to canada *smiles*

very good, can I watch :)

Iluvfunwomen, I agree!!!!

MisterBator, you are welcome!

Nothing, and I mean nothing, sexier than a women's lips. Plump, deep red and pouty. It drives me to madness.

Bemyvalentine, yes, it was yummy and thank you!

Yummy indeed!

You're so good.

ARPITAROY, sadly she is no longer around for any tasting.

i wana taste her lips

ILIKETOWATCH2, thank you for the compliment! I am very glad you liked it *smiles*

Aamoon, well, you could join the group for improving EP and that could be your first recommendation... have an EXCITED rating. *smiles and chuckles*

Yes it is and thank you!

I like your description of the kiss and actually the invitation she sent you by biting her bottom lip.I love to see two women kissing each other.Thats very hot.

Yes, it was Vix3n, a wonderfully delightful, breathtaking, memorable kiss!

WOW what a kiss...

Risenphoenix, I am sure you won't mind if I do not take your word for that? Something about that smile, says trouble! **smiles wickedly**

Beaverman, the first kiss is incredible....can be overwhelming and intoxicatiing. Nervousness, excitement, fear of the unknown can all lead to that perfect moment of pure pleasure. Heart beating fast and sensations running through your body, tingling really. There is nothing better.......well......other than what it can all lead to.

wicked...I'd never do that. I'm an honorable man. ***grins lecherously***

Risenphoenix, thank you, very sweet of you to say! But you best be careful, I might start to get the impression you are hitting on me!?! *chuckles*

Nice story. I'd love to share a kiss such as that with you. You are an awesome woman.

Doyoucare, a little late, sorry, I have changed my avatar a few times, so....was it the photo with the legs? the arched back? or the goth goddess? Hmmmmm, I wonder which one you liked???

ThisNYpixie, Thank you Sweetie. I do try to capture a moment as best I can.....and that was a moment!! *smiles*

um this has nothing to do with your story but holy hell thats a good pic

Thank you! It was a nice erotic moment that has left quite the impression on me!

Thank you, and yah, it was =)

awesome! :)

does a photo count?? LOL

Well, DD, that would indeed put a different twist on the story...... wouldn't it?

Maybe "she" was a cross dresser and belonged to the Hell’s Angles during normal working hours....DD

    Default Paternity Petition

    New York

    Okay, after I broke up with my ex-girlfriend she told me she was pregnant. She tells me it's mine and quite frankly, I believe her. My son was born this morning and she tells me that I cannot see him and won't give me any information about him. I only know he was born because she told my sister.

    This woman is CRAZY. I won't go into details. They're too numerous, but believe me she is. I fear for the health and welfare of my son and want to gain custody. Since the child was born in her apartment (she doesn't believe in Western medicine) and I was not there, an aknowledgement of paternity was not signed.

    I understand that I need to now file a Paternity Petition with the Family Court in NYC to have the child legally be considered mine. I would like a paternity test done just because before going to all the time and expense of gaining custody, I don't want her back up plan to be to get a DNA test and tell me it's not mine and I have no legal right.

    She would definitely go through the whole Family Court thing and then spring that at the last minute because if she still wins custody, she stands to get a pretty good chunk of change every month for child support (on the order of $3,000/month by NY guidelines). So she'll definitely not contest the paternity unless I end up winning custody, then she'll just fall back on a DNA test if there is a chance that it's not mine.

    How do I file a Petition of Paternity as a father and also request blood/DNA tests at the same time? Are these different Petitions that I need to file or can I request both in the same petition?

    If I just file a regular Paternity Petition as the Petitioner, then I'm aknowledging paternity in the petition itself. I'd like to request a blood/DNA test and if it is my son, then request to be named the legal father.

    I'm not trying to get out of child support or wiggle out of anything. I'd just like to be sure before going down this long and painful road. As soon as I have proof that it is mine, and LEGAL rights as the father, I'm immediately filing for sole custody. I have clear and convincing evidence that she's not fit to raise a child.

    Will it look bad if I request a paternity test and then claim that I want custody or will it look like I'm trying to get out of the responsibility of fatherhood merely by requesting a paternity test? I'm not, I just don't want her to have anything to fall back on if I win custody such as her then requesting a paternity test after losing custody and showing that I'm not the father. I would have gone through all that time, emotion and expense for nothing.

    Default Re: Paternity Petition

    Here's a very basic guide to paternity actions in New York. Forms are here. You should be able to request that the court order a DNA test, once you get before a judge or hearing officer. It is perfectly appropriate to want to confirm your paternity.
