ALSO CALLED: Business Enterprises, Enterprise Businesses
DEFINITION: In the computer industry, an enterprise is an organization that uses computers. A word was needed that would encompass corporations, small businesses, non-profit institutions, government bodies, and possibly other kinds of organizations. The term enterprise seemed to do the job. In practice, the term is applied much more often to larger organizations than smaller ones.

Vitor Belfort Blames The UFC For His UFC 173 Withdrawal, Says He Never Gave Up His Slot

With the news that Nevada has banned all athletes from using TRT, Vitor Belfort, was removed from his UFC 173 title shot against Chris Weidman.

Vitor, took to his social media shortly after to assure fans that he didn’t pull out of the fight, the UFC made him:

Here’s his statement:

“I never give up the fight at UFC 173 and never said that. … The UFC decided to put another opponent in my place because I didn’t have time to fit the new rules of the NSAC. According to the UFC, I will face the winner of Weidman vs Lyoto within the new regulations of all the athletic commissions.

I’m sorry that this happened, and I appreciate the strength and understanding of all fans, sponsors, UFC and athletic commissions”

Seventh Rule Recordings has announced the signing of Chicago's PLAGUE BRINGER.

PLAGUE BRINGER is a duo from Chicago whose music is "an assault of programmed bulldozer blast beats, de-tuned stabbing guitars and savage animalistic vocals, yielding a relentless blend of spastic electronic carnage," according to a press release.

PLAGUE BRINGER was formed in December 2002 by Greg Ratajczak, an accomplished sound engineer and guitar player who has played in and or worked with numerous indie rock bands in recent years, most notably with MODEST MOUSE on their Epic Records debut, "The Moon and Antarctica". Greg initially sought out long-time friend and gifted writer Josh Rosenthal to contribute lyrically. Josh eventually became the killer lead vocals and the duo has been bringing the plague ever since.

PLAGUE BRINGER has played countless shows in the Midwest with the likes of PSYOPUS, MISERY INDEX, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, INTERNAL BLEEDING, THE END, MUTILATED, PUTRID PILE, HEWHOCORRUPTS, INDIAN and THE LOCUST , and toured with BODIES IN THE GEARS OF THE APPARATUS in August of 2004, and with HARLOTS in the winter of 2005.

In the summer of 2005, the band completed work on their self-produced debut full-length album, "As the Ghosts Collect the Corpses Rest", which was mastered by Scott Hull (PIG DESTROYER, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED). Seventh Rule Recordings is planning a May/June release date for the record.

Business: You must upgrade to NBN

Businesses have been warned landline phone and internet telecommunications services will stop if they don't make the switch to the national broadband network (NBN) before the deadline.

Some areas in western Sydney have a deadline of January.

A spokesman for the NBN said checking the roll-out date for your area was easy.

"Just go to and type in your business address and you will quickly see whether work has begun as well as deadlines for your particular area," he said.

"All the information you will need to keep abreast of what is happening can be found on the site."

The national broadband network is an upgrade to Australia's existing telecommunications network.

It provides access to fast, affordable and reliable landline phone and internet services.

It will replace all existing landline phone, ADSL internet and Telstra cable internet services.

Landline phone, broadband internet including ADSL and Telstra cable, fax machines, medical alarms and emergency call systems, as well as monitored security alarm systems, and monitored fire alarm systems all have to be connected.

The NBN website has a list of service providers.

Details: 1800 687 626.

■ Devices such as eftpos alarms, machines and fax machines can work over the NBN as long as the right kind of phone service is ordered.

There are three easy steps to move to your device to the NBN.

1) Call your device provider and ask about any wiring or service changes required and what you need to do to test it once the NBN is installed.

2) Call your preferred company or internet service provider and tell them your device requirements.

3) Test each device to confirm that it's working once the NBN is installed. If it isn't working contact your device and service provider immediately.

The Senator

Posted by Natalia Manzocco / Reviewed on April 29, 2014 / review policy

the senator torontoThe Senator has a long and storied history in the city's downtown core. The self-proclaimed "oldest restaurant in Toronto," founded in 1929 and open in its current iteration since 1948, is tucked unassumingly into a neighbourhood of hulking edifices like the Ed Mirvish Theatre and the Citytv building.

Inside, the building's history shows; it's like a diner from a hardboiled detective novel (save for a few anachronisms, like a fancy red Coke fridge). Maroon-stained wood booths, few of them larger than a four-top, create a grid that criss-crosses the restaurant. On the walls, the building's past life as a jazz club is immortalized in the form of colour-saturated portraits of musicians.

the senator torontoAfter decades of steadily dishing out diner favourites, the Senator has recently made an effort to reinvent itself with the addition of a new dinner menu and a weekend cocktail event (during which the diner rebrands itself as 'Bar Senator'). It's an astute enough plan; though the diner's Dundas and Victoria location is super-central, just a stone's throw away from Ryerson and the Eaton Centre, it isn't known as a destination for younger diners or the evening crowd.

When I stopped in for a late lunch, the choices were limited to to the classic lunch menu, which sticks to standard greasy-spoon fare and a few retro picks like crab cakes, wedge salads and liver and onions.

the senator torontoOn the (very, very enthusiastic) recommendation of our waitress, I opted for the burger. The 6 oz. Cumbrae's patty ($6.95) comes with your standard tomato, onion and lettuce, with the added bonus of sauteed onions and corn relish; I topped mine off with some Swiss and mushrooms. It was the epitome of a killer diner burger - moist and falling-apart, with a little extra richness from the egg bun and the sweet, mega-caramelized onions.

The sides, however, didn't quite stand up. The side salad I ordered showed up as a side of fries; the waitress immediately recognized the error, and brought greens on top of the shoestrings. As it turns out, neither was a winning choice. The fries were overcooked and got unpleasantly crunchy as they cooled, while the salad dressing could have used a healthy dose of vinegar and salt.

the senator torontoOther entrees were similarly uneven. The club sandwich, according to my dining companion, was "actually just a huge chicken breast" - an unpleasant enough experience that not even the challah toast could do much to help.

the senator torontoCrab cakes (made of "mixed seafood") were fluffy, with a crunchy, golden-brown crust on the outside, and contained enough crabmeat to merit the name. The fish and chips ($12.95), meanwhile, featured two healthily-sized pieces of battered cod atop a bed of fries that were far less scorched than my own. The verdict: Solid, but not about to swipe the title of the city's best fish and chips anytime soon (that would be these).

Save for a refreshing, more-tart-than-sweet lemonade, I skipped the drinks. But the draft list is surprisingly sophisticated for such an old-school spot, with Beau's Lug-Tread and Amsterdam Downtown Brown for $6.50 a pint (with a guest appearance by KLB Raspberry Wheat). The new cocktail menu, too, is worth an eyeball, with a rosemary-cinnamon-espresso flagship drink and new takes on period-appropriate standbys like the Derby and Old Fashioned.

Ultimately, though, the attempts to draw a younger crowd may fall flat if the Senator loses touch with what makes a diner legendary: Reliable execution of comforting, classic dishes, year in and year out. (Don't ever change that burger, though. It's a winner.)

By golly, a real honest to goodness diner that takes me back to when I was a kid. This place looks great! Save a seat for me, you wonderful people, 'cause that burger platter is calling out my name. They even serve lemonade!
Confused / April 29, 2014 at 03:03 pm
Maybe, just maybe, if your intention is to review a restaurant's new dinner and cocktail menu, you should actually eat dinner there and order a cocktail. Can't believe you got paid for this useless review. Then again, this is, where informed food critique goes to die.
Steven / April 29, 2014 at 03:12 pm
Lemonade too? (tear rolling down my cheek)
I'm visiting the Senator... within 24 hours.
Randy / April 29, 2014 at 04:48 pm
Been there a bunch of times and its great! A true hidden gem behind Dundas square
A fan / April 29, 2014 at 05:14 pm
I actually really love this diner. It's one of a handful in Toronto that I truly enjoy and go out of my way to eat at (rather than just end up at because it's near or open).

The food is top notch and the service is friendly. Wish they had longer hours, but times are tough I guess.
Also a fan / April 29, 2014 at 05:52 pm
Love this diner too! After the New York Times article we went for dinner and had the short ribs, which were incredible! Thanks for the burger suggestion... I'll be trying that next.
PJ / April 29, 2014 at 08:55 pm
This place is ok - the food is inoffensive, but it is not better or worse than a place like Frans. Location is good, but the interior is tired. Its more hidden than hidden gem though.
Stacey / April 30, 2014 at 12:19 am
No Way! AGREED Hidden Gem!
Saer / April 30, 2014 at 10:09 am
Oldest restaurant in Toronto? What about the plenty of much older hotels around that have been serving food in their restaurants/bars? The Black Bull Tavern opened in 1833, The Wheat Sheaf in 1849 and lots of others like the King Edward, Royal York, Hotel Victoria etc...etc.. Maybe the claim should be oldest diner?
Sarah / April 30, 2014 at 12:00 pm
I love going here for breakfast. Challah toast, over easy eggs with home fries and baked beans. Delicious.
Whaaaa / April 30, 2014 at 01:25 pm
Did you just compare this place to Frans!?!? Go have a Cumbraes burger here and then go have a frozen patty on wonderbread at Frans. Please don't make statements that are utterly ridiculous. +1 for hidden gem.
Another fan replying to a comment from PJ / April 30, 2014 at 08:56 pm
Saying "its more hidden than hidden gem" is like calling The Beaches "The Beach". It doesn't sound right, and moreover it's wrong.

The Senator isn't gourmet, but it does comfort food really really well -- just want you want from a diner. There are only a few restaurants in Toronto that I would call an institution. The Senator is one of them.

a source replying to a comment from A fan / May 1, 2014 at 01:49 pm
Hey a fan (the first). we just extended our hours so that lunch is served all night and on thursday, friday and saturday we're open til 12 serving food until late. We also have a cocktail program we just started as well, so come check us out!

Mention this for a promo card.

Cheers guys!
Yet another fan replying to a comment from a source / May 1, 2014 at 08:50 pm
You guys are the best! Long live The Senator!!

If you go for dinner, don't leave without trying the sticky toffee pudding. It's divine. Make sure you get a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. You're welcome.

Bon Appétit Management Company Partners with Fed Up Film, Encourages Guests to Go Sugar-Free for 10 Days

  Bon Appétit Management Company Partners with Fed Up Film, Encourages Guests
  to Go Sugar-Free for 10 Days

   From-scratch pioneer to host Fed Up Challenge at select corporate cafés

Business Wire

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- May 7, 2014

Life in America is sweet — in fact too sweet, according to a powerful new film
that opens across the U.S. on Friday, May 9.

Fed Up combines the moving stories of four children whose families are
struggling to lower their weight to a healthy balance and hard-hitting
interviews with well-known nutrition and public-policy experts. It exposes
some of the misconceptions — encouraged by the packaged-food industry —
Americans have about food and weight loss that have resulted in the greatest
public-health crisis of our time. (Watch the trailer.)

Bon Appétit Management Company CEO Fedele Bauccio joined the Fed Up Advisory
Board at the invitation of executive producer Katie Couric (who narrates the
film) and producer Laurie David (An Inconvenient Truth). Bon Appétit has
partnered with several of its corporate clients to support the Fed Up
Challenge in its cafés, inviting its guests to commit to cutting out all sugar
for 10 days.

“Fed Up shows how added sweeteners have become a terrible problem for us as a
nation,” says Fedele. “At Bon Appétit, we’ve always cooked everything from
scratch. Our chefs rely on top-quality ingredients, herbs, and spices — not
sugar — for flavor. But we care about our guests’ well-being when they leave
our cafés, too. We know that they are concerned about their health and that of
their families.”

The packaged foods such as granola bars and spaghetti sauce that American
families rely on are high not only in sugars, as the film makes disturbingly
clear, but also in sodium, another unhealthy ingredient. (Last October, Bon
Appétit teamed up with the Center for Science in the Public Interest on a
companywide sodium reduction campaign for Food Day.)

For the week starting Monday, May 12, employees dining at the corporate cafés
for SAP (in Palo Alto, CA), Adobe (San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and Lehi,
UT), Medtronic (Minneapolis), SAS (Cary, NC), and several others can opt for
special Fed Up Challenge breakfast and lunch menu items from their Bon Appétit
chefs, indicated by a red Unsweetened sticker. The Bon Appétit teams will also
go the extra mile to source unsweetened versions of items that often contain
hidden sugars, such as yogurt, sandwich bread, tortillas, and condiments.

The Fed Up Challenge information tables will provide materials on continuing
the Challenge away from work, resources on the many other names sugar hides
under in packaged foods, and the surprising amount of sugar found in common
beverages including fruit juices. Unsweetened “spa waters” and house-brewed
iced teas will provide zero-sugar thirst quenching, while Bon Appétit Hydrate
the Healthy Way posters placed at soda dispensers will remind guests that soda
contains considerable amounts of sugar.

The Bon Appétit teams and its clients have “sweetened the deal” for taking the
Challenge by offering drawings for tickets to see the movie when it opens at
local theaters. At SAP, the corporate Fit Club has donated three FitBit
wellness trackers for those who opt for Challenge menu items all week, and at
Medtronic, the campus Wellness Center will donate three free memberships.

“Bon Appétit has long been a leader in offering healthy, sustainably sourced
food for Americans at work and at school,” says Fed Up producer Laurie David.
“It’s an honor to have their support in helping people learn to feed
themselves in a similar way at home.”

In October, Bon Appétit will roll out a sugar-free education campaign
companywide at hundreds of locations in 32 states for Food Day 2014.

The Case of the Missing $1 Million Norman Rockwell Painting

Norman Rockwell painting, Sport, that was discovered missing from a Queens storage facility, according to the New York Police Department

Norman Rockwell painting, Sport, that was discovered missing from a Queens storage facility, according to the New York Police Department

Somebody may have stolen a Norman Rockwell painting worth more than $1 million from a warehouse in Queens, N.Y.?

“Stolen” may be premature, but the painting in question—Sport, which was once featured on the cover of a Saturday Evening Post in 1939—has definitely disappeared. In mid-September, it what discovered missing from the Welpak Art Moving & Storage facility in Queens, which stores art for numerous museums, galleries, and private collectors, according to its website. Mark Fishstein, the New York Police Department’s “art cop”—he’s the NYPD’s only detective devoted to stolen art, a position he’s held for more than 11 years—can’t reveal who owns the painting, what it was doing in storage, or any leads or theories he has on where it might be today.

But if the police are involved, that means it was probably stolen, right?

According to Julian Radcliffe, chairman of the Art Loss Register, a London company that claims it has “the world’s largest database of stolen art,” says that sometimes art just goes missing. “We’ve had a lot of interesting cases where art has just been lost in warehouses or gets sent to the wrong address,” he says. “Sometimes warehouses are sold, and the new owner cleans them out and finds the missing art. It happens all the time.”

A recent discovery happened in 2011, at a British warehouse, where 400 drawings, sketches, and notebooks by the 20th-century Dutch expressionist Karel Appel were discovered in a box. The collection had been missing since 2002, while in transit to the Karel Appel Foundation in Amsterdam, and presumed stolen. But the art work, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, had been put on the wrong truck.

Let’s say hypothetically this Norman Rockwell painting was stolen. How much could the thieves get for it?

Rockwell’s Sport was last sold at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City on May 22. The winning bid was $1,085,000. So it’s worth at least a million, and probably more, because Sotheby’s is planning a major auction of Rockwell paintings on Dec. 4, including some of his most iconic and recognized work.

Sotheby’s estimates that the collection could fetch more than $24 million, and some paintings, particularly Saying Grace, could break auction records for a single Normal Rockwell work. Breaking Home Ties sold at Sotheby’s in 2006 for $15.4 million, the highest price ever paid for an original Rockwell, but there are predictions that Saying Grace could bring in close to $20 million.

And that’s going to affect the worth of other Rockwell paintings?

Absolutely, says Judy Goffman Cutler, an art dealer and gallery owner who founded the American Illustrators Gallery in New York City and the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, R.I. “Sport may be appraised at a million today, but it’ll be worth a lot more after the Sotheby’s auction,” she says. Regardless, Cutler says the painting is unsellable. “I don’t know what they’re going to do with it,” she says. “My guess is, it was taken by someone who has to have a Rockwell in their collection, or they don’t know what they have, they’re unaware that it’s an original. But they’ll never be able to sell it. You can’t sell a hot painting.”

Wait, there isn’t a black market for stolen art? Don’t be ridiculous—haven’t you seen The Thomas Crown Affair?

The harsh truth is that there is no black market for stolen art, according Detective Fishstein. “I’ve never come across an underground collector who buys stolen art for his underground collection,” he says. “I think that’s Hollywood stuff.” Fishstein can’t imagine somebody buying a famous painting and not being able to brag about it. “Art collectors are exhibitionists,” he says. “They want to show off their art collection. If you have to hide it in the basement, what’s the point?”

Will they ever be able to track down Sport?

“It can take anywhere from days to never,” says Fishstein. At least one Rockwell painting has been missing for more than three decades. Rockwell’s Boy Asleep With Hoe, valued at around $600,000, was stolen from a home in Cherry Hill, N.J., in 1976, and it has yet to be found, despite an ongoing investigation by the FBI’s Art Theft team.

Do Rockwell paintings get stolen a lot?

The Art Loss Register currently has more than 40 stolen Rockwells in its database, but Radcliffe adds, “we also have over 1,000 missing Picassos. You have to keep it in perspective.” Keeping track of stolen art is no easy task. Sometimes a painting will be classified as stolen even though it’s not. That’s how Steven Spielberg ended up with what he thought was a stolen Norman Rockwell painting.

Steven Spielberg, as in E.T.-and-Jaws Steven Spielberg?

Correct. In 1989, he bought Russian Schoolroom from Cutler for a reported $200,000. (Cutler sold Spielberg most of his Rockwell collection, she says.) But in 2007, his assistant noticed that the painting was listed as a stolen artwork on an FBI website. Spielberg called the authorities, and then things got messy.

The painting’s original owner, the late Jack Solomon, sued both Spielberg and the FBI, claiming that Russian Schoolroom was his stolen property even though it wasn’t. Eventually Cutler took the heat, giving the director another Rockwell in exchange for the alleged stolen painting, just to untangle him from the legal fight. After a protracted court battle, Cutler was exonerated in 2011, and Russian Schoolroom remains in her possession.

So Steven Spielberg collects Norman Rockwell paintings?

Yes, and so does his friend, the director George Lucas. The two auteurs shared their collections for a 2010 Smithsonian exhibit. Ross Perot is also a Rockwell collector, as is Wal-Mart (WMT) heiress Alice Walton. And interest in the artist is on the rise, thanks to the upcoming Sotheby’s auction. “I’ve gotten more calls than ever about Rockwell,” says Cutler. “Everybody wants to buys one of his paintings now.” Have the possible theft in Queens and the Spielberg incident made her more paranoid? “Oh god yes,” she laughs. “I told security [at her galleries], ‘You better keep an eye on every Rockwell. I’m not going through this again.’”

N.Y. Gasoline Strengthens as Hess Reports Minor Issue at Plant

May 7 (Bloomberg) -- New York gasoline strengthened as Hess Corp. reported a “minor compressor issue” at its Port Reading refinery in New Jersey.

The fluid catalytic cracker at the plant remains in operation and no other units were affected, the company said in a statement.

The discount for regular gasoline in New York Harbor narrowed 1.13 cents to 8.5 cents a gallon versus futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 2:06 p.m., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Prompt delivery rose 1.17 cents to $2.8913 a gallon.

PBF Energy Inc.’s Delaware City, Delaware, refinery is conducting maintenance on one of the plant’s two flare gas recovery compressors.

The work started today and is expected to be completed by May 11, according to a message left on a community hotline.

Regular gasoline in the Gulf Coast strengthened 0.13 cent to a discount of 19 cents a gallon versus futures.

Mantega Refuses to Commit to Tightening Amid Downgrade Alert

Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega failed to commit to tightening fiscal policy when presenting the 2014 budget, overlooking a warning by Standard & Poor’s that deteriorating government accounts may result in a downgrade.

Mantega said it was too early to define the government’s primary surplus goal, a gauge for the level of spending. The minister said he could cut as much as 58 billion reais ($25 billion) from the primary budget surplus target, which excludes interest payments and could fluctuate from 2.1 percent of gross domestic product to 3.2 percent for 2014. The government may reduce the target if states and cities failed to meet their share, he said.

“We will come up with the best possible fiscal result,” Mantega said when asked by reporters whether he could ensure primary surplus of at least 2.1 percent of GDP. “We are committed with the best possible primary.”

Standard & Poor’s put Brazil’s BBB credit rating on negative outlook in June, saying the move was triggered by a third year of “modest” economic growth, “weaker” fiscal policy and a deterioration in the government’s credibility.

President Dilma Rousseff’s government has reduced taxes, granted off-budget loans to state banks to boost lending, and increased public works in a bid to buoy a slowing economy. GDP expanded 0.55 percent in the first quarter from the end of 2012, down from 0.64 percent growth in the fourth quarter.

Tapped Dividends

Last year, the government tapped dividends of state companies and its sovereign wealth fund and discounted some investments from its fiscal goal to meet its target. Mantega was called to appear before Congress to explain the use of so-called creative accounting.

Brazil’s government estimates it will spend 1.04 trillion reais next year and collect 1.32 trillion reais in revenue, according to the budget bill sent to Congress today that takes into account a primary surplus of 3.2 percent of GDP. The data doesn’t include interest payments or earnings.

That compares to spending of 928 billion reais this year on revenue of 1.19 trillion reais, according to the 2013 budget approved by lawmakers. The 12 percent increase in spending forecast for next year is almost twice the pace of annual inflation, which was 6.27 percent in July.

Mantega’s 2014 budget forecast displays the same lack of transparency as the past, showing the government is not responding to the threat of a sovereign ratings downgrade, according to Mansueto Almeida, an economist at the government institute for applied economics, IPEA.

‘Same Measures’

“The government’s maintaining the exact same measures, and not reacting at all,” Almeida said by phone from Brasilia. “Absolutely nothing changed. I’d prefer a clear, credible goal rather than giving 3.2 percent and saying they could discount.”

The central bank in the minutes to its July meeting said government spending was expansionary.

Policy makers are implementing the biggest interest rate increase among major economies tracked by Bloomberg in a bid to slow inflation that twice this year has breached the 2.5 percent to 6.5 percent target range. Policy makers lifted borrowing costs by 50 basis points to 9 percent yesterday.

The real, which has declined 10.6 percent in the past three months, weakened 0.6 percent today to 2.3595 per U.S. dollar.

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. Announces DDR4 Industrial Grade Modules

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of its DDR4 industrial grade modules. As with all of SMART's products, quality is paramount and SMART applies its unique and stringent testing processes to insure each of its DDR4 industrial grade modules, operating at DDR4-2133 1.2V, can reliably operate at industrial grade temperatures (-40 degrees C to +85 degrees C). Customized test programs, test flows and specialized equipment are used to eliminate weak bits and DRAMs likely to fail under temperature stress. SMART's industrial grade modules are 100% system tested at high speeds starting with a cold boot at -40 degrees C and ramping to +85 degrees C ambient operation. Testing durations vary depending on the density of the module. High utilization custom testing software insures that all cells in the DRAMs are fully stressed through the complete temperature cycle. SMART's DDR4 industrial grade modules can be used with confidence in a wide variety of stringent applications including: Base stations and telecom equipment exposed to the elements; Single board computers used in industrial, defense, aerospace, kiosk, and digital signage applications; and Densely configured computing applications with limited airflow. SMART supports a variety of DDR4 industrial grade module types including SO-DIMMs up to 16GB, unbuffered and registered DIMMs up to 16GB and 32GB respectively, and Mini-DIMMs up to 16GB.

Smart Modular Technologies Announces Expansion of its NVDIMM Product Line with its New 8GB and 16GB DDR4 NVDIMMs

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. announced the expansion of its NVDIMM product line with its new 8GB and 16GB DDR4 NVDIMMs available in a single rank, four bit configuration. SMART's full lineup of DDR4 NVDIMMs now include two configurations; a single rank eight bit configuration in 4GB and 8GB densities, and the new 8GB and 16GB options. The new NVDIMMs are targeted for server and storage applications to improve performance. NVDIMMs transform main DRAM memory into persistent memory resulting in higher performing servers by allowing big data, transaction logs, and other latency and performance-sensitive data to be accessed at DRAM speeds without the risk of data loss. Rather than reading and writing big data or transaction logs to traditional storage media such as SATA SSDs, PCIe NVMe SSDs, or HDDs, they can be written to and read from main memory without the risk of data being lost due to any sudden power loss (SPL) event. Server performance in terms of lower latency, higher IOPS, and greater endurance all increase dramatically with the use of SMART's NVDIMMs. SMART now supports a complete lineup of DDR4-2133 NVDIMMs ranging from 4GB to 16GB configured as 1-rank x8 and 1-rank x4. SMART's DDR4 NVDIMMs are targeted to support a wide range of industry standard and OEM server and storage platforms from Intel(r), Supermicro(r), Lenovo(r), HP(r) and others. NVDIMM industry adoption is being driven by JEDEC standardization and the growth of In-Memory Computing (IMC) where entire databases need to be loaded in main memory for real-time analytics. SMART is further entrenched in supporting DDR4 NVDIMM standardization with its work in coordination with JEDEC. Working closely with its customers over many years, SMART has developed and incorporated into its DDR4 NVDIMMs, SafeStor(TM) technology, a feature-rich, mature command and control register interface. SMART's DDR4 NVDIMMs also have an integrated DRAM and flash controller with end-to-end data integrity protection including internal CRC-32 and parity protection for FPGA SRAM. Backup power can be provided by the host system through a JEDEC-standard 12V power rail or by a tethered Backup Power Module (BMP). SMART provides several intelligent tethered BMP options including a 2.5" SSD form factor supercap module and several other hybrid solutions that are currently developed or in development.

Q Software Global Announces Release of Security Manager Pro for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.x

Q Software Global has announced the release of Security Manager Pro. Designed for companies who need to reduce the workload and complexity of implementing security and managing frequent changes whilst ensuring that security is robust and sustainable, Security Manager Pro reduces the effort required by up to 80%. It also includes proactive Segregation of Duties management to allow users to identify and remediate Segregation of Duties conflicts before they are unwittingly built into live security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access going undetected and cutting the workload needed to achieve compliance. Security Manager Pro replaces Q Software's E1 Config product for users of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.x. Security Manager Pro features include: all Security Manager Pro programs and tables are held within the JD Edwards environment, so access can be restricted to authorized users and all changes are auditable. A brand new user interface makes it very easy to view and manage Task Views, Security and Profiles from a single console. PreBuild security allows users to validate security and run automated checks to identify and remediate segregation of duties conflicts and sequence manager issues before building live security. Sub-roles; security for common processes can be defined as sub-roles and added to as many roles as required. If the process needs to be changed, users only need update the Sub-role rather than all the affected individual roles. Users can import existing security from their current JD Edwards security table then submit it to proactive segregation of duties checking. Users can import existing role/task information from spreadsheets, with integrity checking prior to import.

More Sitting, Less Doing

More Sitting, Less Doing

Where do people spend the most time sitting around? While physical activities—such as exercising, hiking, biking, swimming, and other sports—are popular in some states, sedentary pastimes are preferred in others. ranked the country's laziest states based on five years (2004-08) of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics American Time Use Survey, which averages the time spent each day on various activities across the population ages 15 and older, including people who did not do the activity at all. We evaluated the amount of leisure time spent on physically inactive pursuits, such as sleeping, watching television, relaxing, thinking, socializing, playing board games, and surfing the Internet (the U.S. average is 12 hours, 58 minutes). We considered these metrics against factors such as time spent exercising and playing sports in each state (the national average is 17 minutes), time spent working, and the state's median age. The final ranking only includes states where residents spend more free time doing sedentary activities than the U.S. average.

States in the South and on the East Coast are heavily represented on the list, with the country's three laziest states being Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Climate and age play a factor in slowing down the pace of life, as does the local lifestyle. Meanwhile, residents of North Dakota and Hawaii reported the least amount of inactive leisure time. As a reference point, we have also noted each state's obesity rate, although obesity was not used to determine this ranking.

Rock On! Christie's and Sotheby's Notch Record Spring Jewelry Sales, Including $15.7 Million "Clark Pink"

This vivid yellow diamond ring sold for $1,874,500 at Sotheby's on April 18th
(Courtesy Sotheby's)

The auction houses probably have a little swagger in their step today, as both Christie's and Sotheby's are coming down from record-setting jewelry sales over the past two days.

Yesterday, Sotheby's brought in a record $43.2 million — nearly a third above the $31.1 million high estimate. The sale was 88 percent sold by lot and 95 percent sold by value, and was the highest total that Sotheby's has ever achieved during a spring jewelry auction — nearly $4 million more than last year's $39.4 million sale. In total, seven pieces fetched more than $1 million. The top lot was a marquise-shaped fancy blue diamond ring, which sold for eight times its $300,000 low estimate, bringing in $2.4 million for the auction house. The 3.54-carat ring was designed by Tiffany & Co. circa 1900.

The day before in Rockefeller Center, the Christie's sale brought in $70.7 million and was 95 percent sold by lot and 97 percent by value. At that sale, the "Clark Pink" diamond — a 9-carat , cushion-cut pink diamond ring designed by Dreicer & Co., once owned by copper heiress Huguette M. Clark, and locked in a safety deposit box for decades — soared over its $6-8 million estimate to hammer down at $15.8 million, a record for a pink diamond sold in the U.S. In total, the Clark collection brought in $20.8 million, more than twice the $9 million estimate.

At both sales, the top lot went to Brett Stettner of Stettner Investment Diamonds, who is a private dealer and runs a diamond investment fund. Other buyers include a mix of trade professionals (U.S., Asian, and "International"), some private Asian collectors, and a handful of bidders listed anonymously.

The New York jewelry extravaganza continues today at Phillips de Pury, where the gem sale begins at 4pm.

My Occupation IT Consultant, Photographer
My Bio Artist's Statement:
Photography can be many things. To some it is a form of expression, to others a means of documentation. I use photography as a means to communicate to others my interpretation of the world around me.

A picture should provoke a feeling. With each photograph I make, my final goal is to create an image that conveys what I sensed and felt and what made me want to press the shutter release to capture that fleeting moment in time or place.

Shooting the picture is often only the start of the creative process. Although I generally do not add or remove anything significant from my pictures, I use many digital imaging techniques to enrich and enhance the final image to mirror my personal impressions and feelings towards the subject.

Seeing and being aware of your surroundings serves as the foundation of my photography. All you have to do is look and I’m always looking.

Born 1943 in Finland. Moved to Israel in 1962. Lives in Switzerland and Israel since 1987.
