Robinson, Withey giving Kansas big post presence

(AP) ? Jeff Withey has had plenty of bloody noses. The big guy from Kansas has been whacked by flying elbows too many times to count. He's had bruises the size and color plums.

That's just what he's gotten courtesy of teammate Thomas Robinson.

The Jayhawks' inside tandem has pushed each other to get better all season, and all those rough-and-tumble practices are finally paying off. Robinson and Withey have Kansas in the Final Four, ready for Jared Sullinger and Ohio State on Saturday night.

"It's going to be a fun matchup. Throughout the year we've played against some really good big men," Robinson said Thursday. "It's definitely going to be a challenge."

Hardly bigger than the one they give each other in practice, though.

"At the beginning of the year, it was tough for me to get into the zone," Withey said, "but as we have been playing more I've been able to get more aggressive."

The rise of Robinson, and to some extent Withey, mimics the rise of Kansas this season.

Neither played significant minutes last year ? Robinson had trouble cracking the lineup, Withey was an afterthought. Neither showed up on major early season watch lists, and neither had the kind of imposing post presence they've established over the past five months.

Meanwhile, Kansas was picked as co-favorite in the Big 12 almost by default, though whispers had grown louder that perhaps this would be the year the Jayhawks finally slipped. They had lost a bevy of talent to the NBA. When a trio of recruits failed to qualify academically, it left a team that was supposedly short on talent even shorter of depth.

Bill Self even recalled a visit by former NBA coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Brown ? who, incidentally, won a title for the Jayhawks ? early in the year. Brown watched the team practice without Robinson and thought Kansas would be fortunate to win 15 games this season.

"I think he's amazed at how far this team has come," Self said.

The 6-foot-8 Robinson and 7-foot Withey are the biggest reasons why.

Robinson has evolved into the dominating post presence that Self hoped for when he chose the Jayhawks over overtures from Memphis a few years ago. In fact, Robinson has in many ways eclipsed the expectations of a coach who is rarely content shy of perfection.

"He only played 14 minutes a game (last season), but we still thought he could be an all-league-type guy," Self said. "He had to realize what he wanted. He saw basketball as a safe haven and an avenue to help his family more than anything else he could do."

Robinson's back story has become part of his very fabric: He lost both of his grandparents along with his mother during a devastating stretch late last season, leaving his younger sister as the only significant family member still in his life.

"Regardless of whether he plays well or not, I don't think anyone in our program ever questions how much admiration and respect we had for him," Self said. "If it was me, I would stay in bed and pull the covers over my head and hope time passed, and he's totally different.

"He had to attack life."

He's certainly attacked it on the court.

The first unanimous first-team All-American since Blake Griffin in 2009, Robinson already has set the single-season school record with 26 double-doubles. He's averaging nearly 18 points and 12 rebounds per game, and always seems to be at his best when the opponent demands it.

"I'm lucky I get to go against T-Rob every day in practice," said Withey, who has used every elbow he's taken from his bruising teammate to toughen up his own game.

It's not as though Withey was overlooked coming out of high school. The kid from California at one point committed to Rick Pitino and Louisville, which plays Kentucky in the other national semifinal Saturday night, before switching his allegiance to Arizona to be closer to home.

Wildcats coach Lute Olson soon retired, and Withey went looking yet again.

He settled on Kansas, even though he knew he'd be stuck behind a bunch of big men. He was willing to bide his time while Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins headed to the NBA, and has become one of the Jayhawks' most important pieces after rarely playing a season ago.

"Jeff is one of those kids that is kind of laid-back," Self said with a smile. "I don't think he realizes how important he is to us sometimes."

It's become evident in the NCAA tournament.

Withey nearly set the single-game record by swatting 10 shots against North Carolina State last weekend, and then came up with two critical blocks in the closing minutes to help Kansas slip by North Carolina and reach the Final Four for the first time since winning the 2008 title.

"This tournament is an awesome opportunity for a lot of people that didn't have a chance to show their skills during the regular season to have a chance," Withey said. "There are a lot of great guys playing and to be able to go against guys like that makes me more excited to play."

Love Is...Some Ground Up Hamburg

Ladies, I'm going to brag on my husband today. I believe he deserves it.


The other night, we had family taco night, which we hadn't done in a while. My hubby came home from a long day at work and went to directly making dinner while I watched our daughter play in the living room.


He cooked up the hamburger for our tacos into two separate dishes; one with the taco seasoning and one without just for me because he knows I don't like the spiciness of the seasoning. Then he diced up the tomatoes for me (even though he doesn't like them himself). And spread out all the fixings that my son and I like on the table.






We took turns eating so that one of us could feed our toddler and the other could enjoy dinner while it was still warm.


When dinner was finished, I mentioned I wanted to use the extra hamburger for my lunch the next day. He apologized that there wasn't a lot of meat left since he wasn't sure how much to leave out for me that wasn't seasoned. I was a little disappointed that there was just a little bit left, and I guess he could see that in my face (though I told him it was fine, I could make do with what we had).


He went out to the pharmacy to pick up some things that I needed and came home. Then I saw him in the kitchen again cooking and asked him what he was making, thinking that maybe he was making his lunch for work ahead of time.


He told me that he was cooking hamburger.


He had stopped by the grocery store on the way home and picked up some more so that I could have it for my lunch. And he took the time to cook it up for me and store it in the fridge to save me from having to do it.


When I put together my lunch the next day, I couldn't help but smile and be reminded of the sweet thing that he did for me. It was something simple, but that simple thing was done with so much love behind it.








I am one blessed woman to be married to a man who demonstrates love every day with simple actions.


Thank you honey for loving me like that.

Health & Fitness As a Network Marketing Home Business

Health & Fitness As a Network Marketing Home Business

Have you noticed that the healthy and energetic business owners are the ones who make the most money? ?There are many reasons for this but one reason (particular to network marketing) is that your potential associates look you over with a magnifying glass to see if you represent what they wish to attain. ?What good is it to be a successful entrepreneur if you do not have the energy and stamina to do the job? ?If you are overweight, unhealthy, uninspiring, it conveys a message to your prospective customer or business associate that your plan does not work.

Is There Too Much Competition?

Some people think the ?health and wealth? network marketing industry is saturated and no longer the right opportunity to invest in. ?If you feel that way, please do yourself a favor. ?Find a busy shopping mall or a restaurant and have a seat. ?Take out a notepad and make two columns, labeling one ?Overweight/Unhealthy? and the other ?Looks Fit.? ?Spend ten minutes observing the people around you putting?a mark in the appropriate column for each person you see, including children. ?Don?t leave out the elderly or anyone using a walker or wheelchair. ?After ten minutes, add up the slash marks and discover for yourself what percentage of people need better nutrition and exercise. ?If you do this, you will have the truth about the health, nutrition and fitness industry.

There may be plenty of products and services available but ask yourself this: ?If those products are in any way effective, why do we still have an obesity epidemic? ?Why are these people walking so slowly, looking so glum? ?Why are their faces tensed with pain or exhaustion? ?Possibly what is lacking is effectiveness.

Lack of Effectiveness Opens the Market

The apathy you see in the eyes of those who are obese comes from years of trying to lose weight and get fit only to find nothing worked. ?They do not want to resort to surgery or dangerous drugs. ?They have tried various diet plans and have spent a great deal of money and time trying to look and feel better. ?Most of them, if they were lucky enough to lose weight in the first place, gained it all back within a year.

If you already work in the weight loss or fitness industry, you know that you first have to get your client past their apathy and disbelief. ?They don?t trust that your product or plan works. ?Most will be happy to lose a few pounds and gain a bit of muscle.? There is no magic pill, no completely safe, risk-free surgery.

So why bother with this industry? ?Two reasons come to mind. ?This epidemic affects your neighbors, your family, and your friends. ?The percentage of overweight and obese individuals is climbing steadily and cardiovascular disease (heart and circulatory) ?succumb to the lack of an effective diet and exercise plan? ?Of course not.

The obstacles to getting fit and what you should look for in a Fitness Home Business are:

TIME and MONEY

  • The product should not cost more money than the consumer has already tried or is spending, or better yet ? save them money
  • The best nutrition or exercise plan should take up less than ten minutes a day, ?or better yet ? save them time

Most people surveyed do not have time to go to the gym or prepare special meals. ?Maximum time for exercise surveys at around 30 minutes twice a week though contrary answers show that most people do not actually exercise that much. ?Some fitness center members say their favorite class or fitness instructor is not available when they are. ?Others forgot to figure in travel time. ?While some people say a membership does get them to exercise, others prefer a home exercise machine but do not have the money to purchase the one they?d prefer. ?Almost all of the answers regarding what is stopping them from nutritious meals and regular exercise could be boiled down to ?time and money.?

PAIN and PLEASURE

  • The product should bring pleasure and be more desirable than what they have been doing
  • The product should in some way ease mental, emotional or physical pain

There have been many ?meal replacement? snacks and drinks on down through the decades. ?Two of the majority responses to ?Why did you stop using meal replacement snacks or drinks?? were: ??Tastes awful? or ?Had a negative digestive reaction.? ?And what stopped the exercise? ??It hurt too much and was too hard to do.? ?What good is a great diet and exercise plan if you cannot ?stomach? it? ?On the other hand, people who noticed a difference in their energy levels and overall feeling of well-being, persisted through any discomfort, indigestion or ?detoxification,? etc., to achieve the pleasurable results.

IDEALS and LIFESTYLE

  • The product should align with the variety of personal and nutrition beliefs of the consumer
  • The product should enhance the ideals of the consumer

People have formed or adopted strong opinions about diet and nutrition usually by the time they are 18 years old. ?Some people have food restrictions as part of their beliefs and ideas about their ideal appearance, how they should feel, even how long they should live. ?Nutrition industries are running into this more and more. ?Ask a customer service representative or a nutritionist. ?They will tell you about?people who have developed ?food allergies.? ?Imagined or otherwise, these opinions and conditions are not to be argued with. ?The consumer is certain that they cannot tolerate a certain food. ?If your product or service does not align with most people?s ideals and lifestyles, your consumer base will be limited. ?Witness the increased messages on the labels ? ?Vegan,? ?Kosher,? ?Non-GMO,? ?Organic.? ?People do care about these things.

The Proof Is In The Pudding

If you care about people?s health and are interested in personal fitness and/or as a home business, check the statistics and testimonials. ?Personally, I only work with successful companies that give great service and effective products. ?Buy only from companies with a good business rating and a money-back guarantee. ?Try it out for yourself first but give it a good go before you quit.

Here are the ones I?ve found that fit all the criteria above.

Major ISPs agree to FCC's code of conduct on botnets, DNS attacks

Image
The FCC's campaign to secure the internet gained new momentum last week, when a group of major ISPs signed on to a new code of conduct aimed at mitigating cybercrime. Adopted by the FCC's Communications, Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC), the new code targets three main security threats: botnets, DNS attacks and internet route hijacking. The Anti-Bot Code of Conduct invites ISPs to adopt sharper detection methods, and to notify and assist consumers whenever their computers are infected. The DNS code, meanwhile, offers a list of best practices by which ISPs can tighten security. Though it doesn't call for a full adoption of DNSSEC technology, the guidelines do represent a "first step" toward implementation, allowing web users to verify the authenticity of their online destinations. As for internet route attacks, the CSRIC calls for a similarly collective approach, asking ISPs to collaborate on new technologies within an industry-wide framework.

In a statement, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said that these practices "identify smart, practical, voluntary solutions that will materially improve the cyber security of commercial networks and bolster the broader endeavors of our federal partners." The industry apparently agrees, as heavyweights like AT&T, CenturyLink, Comcast, Cox, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, T-Mobile and Verizon have already signed on. For the FCC's full statement, check out the source link below.

Windows Server 8 ? Truly Live Storage Migration

Beta version of Windows 8 went to live on 29th February. Development team announced that it had reached over 1 million downloads within the first 24 hours. Considering this is a pre-release software, 1 million is an incredible start for Microsoft.

I believe lots of you are still experiencing new features.

Windows Server 8 is in front of us as a most current server operating system. Microsoft is positioning Windows Server 8 as the go-to platform for both public and private cloud scenarios. So most major changes for Windows Server 8 can be explored within Hyper-V 3.0.

In this blog post, I?ll cover about truly live storage migration that is one of the key features of Hyper-V 3.0.

Also I will publish a video version of this article in my next blog post.

Storage migration is one of the new features of Hyper-V 3.0. It helps you to transfer virtual machine VHD (VHDX) and configuration items to a new locations. While Hyper-V gets all bits to a new folder, Virtual Machine continues to run with all functionality.

You can accomplish this task using User Interface or PowerShell. Using PowerShell means we can try different various of actions. For example you can query all your virtual machines that meets specific criteria such as name, disk, CPU etc. and run storage migration for queried VMs.

Before dive in step-by-step, let me explain a little bit about Storage Migration background.

Storage migration is supported for both hard disk files, VHD and VHDX. As all you know VHDX is a new virtual hard drive format shipped with Hyper-V 3.0 and brings lots of new functionalities such as;

  • Supports disks much larger than 2TB (Current VHD restriction)
  • It can be mounted and ejected from Windows Explorer.
  • Larger Block sizes
  • Faster speed than VHD disks
  • Can be convertible to VHD and back to VHDX

Storage migration process creates a new virtual hard disk in the destination directory thereupon user initiates Live Storage Migration through UI or PowerShell.

Important part is during source virtual hard disk read and write operations, newly created operations mirrored to the new virtual hard disk. Reads are occurring from the source, writes are happening to both source and destination.

Then Hyper-V initiates copying virtual disks. If your storage array supports Offloaded Data Transfer, storage migration accelerate itself as taking advantage of ODX technology. Let me explain in more detail about ODX;

Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) introduces a tokenized operation to move data on the storage device. The source file and destination file can be on the same volume, two different volumes hosted by the same machine, a local volume and a remote volume through SMB2, or two volumes on two different machines through SMB2.

ODX in Windows Server 8 allows handing off operations to the storage system that can perform actions with higher performance.

image

?

Once disk copy process is complete, Hyper-V switch VM to run on destination virtual hard disk. In case of a failure on destination side, there is always fail back option to run back again on source directory. And finally deletes source VHDs.

Now lets take a look how to initiate Live Storage Migration.

First, open your Windows Server 8 Hyper-V Manager and navigate related virtual machine.

image

In my lab environment there is only one single Windows 8 Virtual Machine.

On the right action pane click Move.

image

Move Wizard will ask you to choose Move Type.

image

Choose between ?Live Migration? or ?Storage Migration?. As you know, Live migration moves virtual machine and its related items to another computer running Hyper-V.

In this case, we just want to simulate storage migration.

There are three different choices on Move Options page.

Move all of the virtual machine?s data to a single location: Choose this option to specify one single destination location for all VM items such as disk file, configuration, snapshot, smart paging.

Move the virtual machine?s data to a different locations: This option lets you to specify individual locations for each VM item.

Move only the virtual machine?s virtual hard disk: Moves only virtual hard disk file.

That?s a screenshot from ?Move the virtual machine?s data to a different locations? option. As you already notice you can move VM items individually.

And this is from ?Move only the virtual machine?s virtual hard disk:? option. Only choice is virtual machine disk file.

Lets move with option 1.

image

Specify destination location for the VM. Be aware about available disk space on destination folder. For demo purposes, I choose one of my local disks.

Preparing to move.

To show you that this is a true live storage migration, I started a ping command within Windows 8 Client (VM) that will run through migration process.

image

You can also track migration process within Hyper-V console.

image

If you locate destination folder through windows explorer, you will notice newly created snapshot and configuration files. Also virtual hard disk file bits are growing.

image

It?s almost finished.

And Hyper-V deletes source folder items. During migration process, Windows 8 Virtual Machine was fully reachable and live.

image

And that is the new Virtual Hard Disk location.

Thanks.
