Dells Data Center Solutions group turns Four!
Dell’s Data Center Solutions group (DCS) is no longer a toddler. Over the weekend we turned four!
Four years ago on March 27, 2007 Dell announced the formation of the Data Center Solutions group, a special crack team designed to service the needs of hyperscale customers. On that day eWeek announced the event in their article Dell Takes On Data Centers with New Services Unit and within the first week Forrest Norrod, founding DCS GM and currently the GM of Dell’s server platform division, spelled out to the world our goals and mission (in re-watching the video its amazing to see how true to that mission we have been):
(Please visit the site to view this media)
The DCS Story
If you’re not familiar with the DCS story, here is how it all began. Four years ago Dell’s Data Center Solutions team was formed to directly address a new segment that begin developing in the marketplace, the “hyperscale” segment. This segment was characterized by customers who were deploying 1,000s if not 10,000s of servers at a time.
These customers saw their data center as their factory and technology as a competitive weapon. Along with the huge scale they were deploying at, they had a unique architecture and approach specifically, resiliency and availability were built into the software rather than the hardware. As a result they were looking for system designs that focused less on redundancy and availability and more on TCO, density and energy efficiency. DCS was formed to address these needs.
Working directly with a small group of customers
From the very beginning DCS took the Dell direct customer model and drove it even closer to the customer. DCS architects and engineers sit down with the customer and before talking about system specs they learn about the customer’s environment, what problem they are looking to solve and what type of application(s) they will be running. From there the DCS team designs and creates a system to match the customer’s needs.
In addition to major internet players, DCS’s customers include financial services organizations, national government agencies, institutional universities, laboratory environments and energy producers. Given the extreme high-touch nature of this segment, the DCS group handles only 20-30 customers worldwide but these customers such as Facebook, Lawrence Livermore National Labs and Microsoft Azure are buying at such volumes that the system numbers are ginormous.
Expanding to the “next 1000”
Ironically because it was so high-touch, Dell’s scale out business didn’t scale beyond our group of 20-30 custom customers. This meant considerable pent up demand from organizations one tier below. After thinking about it for a while we came up with a different model to address their needs. Leveraging the knowledge and experience we had gained working with the largest hyperscale players, a year ago we launched a portfolio of specialized products and solutions to address “the next 1000.”
The foundation for this portfolio is a line of specialized PowerEdge C systems derived from the custom systems we have been designing for the “biggest of the big.” Along with these systems we have launched a set of complete solutions that we have put together with the help of a set of key partners:
Dell Cloud Solution for Web Applications: A turnkey platform-as-a-service offering targeted at IT service providers, hosting companies and telcos. This private cloud offering combines Dell’s specialized cloud servers with fully integrated software from Joyent.
Dell Cloud Solution for Data Analytics: A combination of Dell’s PowerEdge C servers with Aster Data’s nCluster, a massively parallel processing database with an integrated analytics engine.
Dell | Canonical Enterprise Cloud, Standard Edition: A “cloud-in-a-box” that allows the setting up of an affordable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas)-style private clouds in computer labs or data centers.
OpenStack: We are working with Rackspace to deliver an OpenStack solution later this year. OpenStack is the open source cloud platform built on top of code donated by Rackspace and NASA and is now being further developed by the community.
These first four years have been a wild ride. Here’s hoping the next four will be just as crazy!

Author Night at the Library with Robert Bluth
Robert Bluth, author of Muni Court: A View from the Other Side of the Bench, will speak on Monday, March 21, from 7 ? 8 p.m., at the Ashland Branch Library, 410 Siskiyou Boulevard.
For almost two decades, Robert Bluth has practiced general business law, litigation, and corporate law, and for over 16 years, served as a municipal court judge for two small, rural towns in Jackson County. People summoned into municipal court are ordinary citizens who usually appear without the benefit of an attorney and provide their own defense. A few do very well in their own defense, while most simply want to get the matter behind them. And some provide a fascinating display of human ingenuity, ineptness, self-rationalization, and much unintended humor. Muni Court shares a few of Mr. Bluth's experiences as a municipal court judge.

Freedom and Anonymity: Keeping the Internet Open
It’s starting to get weird out there. When WikiLeaks released classified U.S. government documents in December, it sparked several rounds of online conflict. WikiLeaks became the target of denial-of-service attacks and lost the support of its hosting and payment providers, which inspired sympathizers to counterattack, briefly bringing down the sites of MasterCard and a few other companies. Sites related to the hackers were then attacked, and mirror sites sprang up claiming to host copies of the WikiLeaks documents--although some were said to carry viruses ready to take over the machines of those who downloaded the copies, for who knows what end. Months before, an FBI official said disruption of the Internet was the greatest active risk to the U.S. “other than a weapon of mass destruction or a bomb in one of our major cities.”Attacks on Internet sites and infrastructure, and the compromise of secure information, pose a particularly tricky problem because it is usually impossible to trace an attack back to its instigator. This “attribution problem” is so troublesome that some law-enforcement experts have called for a wholesale reworking of Internet architecture and protocols, such that every packet of data is engraved with the identity of its source. The idea is to make punishment, and therefore deterrence, possible. Unfortunately, such a reworking would also threaten what makes the Internet special, both technologically and socially. [More]

Ouattara forces in Ivorian gains
Pro-Ouattara forces have taken control of some parts of the main city, Abidjan Forces loyal to Ivory Coast's UN-backed president-elect Alassane Ouattara have attacked the major town of Daloa as they gain ground on two fronts from the army. They are making progress against forces loyal to Laurent Gbagbo in both the east and the west. If it fell, Daloa would open the way to Ivory Coast's cocoa region. Mr Gbagbo refuses to stand down even though the UN says he lost last year's election. The UN estimates one million people have already fled the violence. On Monday, pro-Ouattara fighters, known as the New Forces, attacked Duekoue, near Daloa, and Bondoukou in the east. They have controlled the north of the country since a 2002 civil war. Pro-Gbagbo troops have lost every battle with the New Forces since last November's election, says the BBC's John James in the central town of Bouake. He says they are also now struggling to contain a guerrilla force, known as the Invisible Commandos, who have taken control of the northern part of the main city, Abidjan. At least 462 people have been killed since December, according to the UN, which has a 9,000-strong peacekeeping force in the country. The UN has accused pro-Gbagbo forces of firing shells at pro-Ouattara areas of Abidjan, causing widespread civilian casualties. Pro-Ouattara forces in Abidjan have also been accused of killing supporters of Mr Gbagbo. France last week circulated a draft resolution at the UN calling for sanctions against Mr Gbagbo and his allies. The European Union has already taken similar measures, leading banks to shut down and badly hitting the cocoa trade, which is one of Mr Gbagbo's main sources of revenue.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

The power of the Golden Popcorn is once again yours! Starting today, we're asking you to cast your votes and select the nominees for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards in 13 categories ranging from the familiar (Best Movie, Best Kiss) to the brand-new (Best Line from a Movie).
Can "Eclipse" reprise the success of "Twilight" (seven nods) and "New Moon" (five nods) before it? Will Biggest Badass star go to Robert Downey Jr.'s sardonic, super-suited hero in "Iron Man 2," to Angelina Jolie for her acrobatic brawling in "Salt," or someone else entirely? Which star's unforgettable line — Liam Neeson's plea to release the Kraken? Justin Timberlake's insistence that only a billion dollars is truly cool? — will be the first to take home this award? For a third-straight year, it's up to you!
Here's how it'll work: Starting Tuesday (March 22) and running through April 5, you can log onto MovieAwards.MTV.com to nominate your favorite movies, stars and crazy cinematic moments. Once the final nominees are announced, head back to the site to vote for the winners from May 3 through June 4. Voting for Best Movie, however, will remain open throughout the live ceremony on June 5 — meaning you'll have a chance to affect the night's biggest prize until the very last minute.
"MTV's viewers are die-hard film buffs, and we love to see how they wield that dedication when voting for the MTV Movie Awards," said Stephen Friedman, general manager of MTV. "This year's show will once again reward movie buffs with previews of the year's most anticipated movies and one-of-a-kind moments that become pop-culture history."
The 20th Annual MTV Movie Awards will air live on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Israeli strike kills two in Gaza
An Israeli air strike has killed two militants in the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli and Palestinian officials say. The Israeli military said its strike targeted militants attempting to fire rockets into Israel. Palestinians said that both victims were members of the Islamic Jihad group. Another militant was injured. The air strike comes a day after militant groups in Hamas-run Gaza said they would halt rocket attacks on Israel if the Israelis reciprocated. In a separate development, Israel says its new anti-rocket defence system is due to become operational later on Sunday. It says the system, known as Iron Dome, will begin working near the southern Israeli city of Beersheba. Palestinian officials said the Israel strike targeted a car in the Jabaliya refugee camp on Sunday morning. Islamic Jihad said the two men killed were the group's members. This was later confirmed by the health ministry in Gaza. The Israeli military said that its strike targeted a group that was about to launch a rocket attack. The past week has seen an escalation of attacks on Gaza The air raid comes a day after militant groups in Gaza say they would agree to a ceasefire if Israel stopped attacks on the Palestinian territory. The move was announced by Hamas, following its talks with other militant groups. In a statement released after the meeting, Hamas said the insurgents were "committed to calm as long as the occupation (Israel) commits to it". It was not immediately clear whether if Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza would now renege on their pledge. But Sunday's air strike is a blow to those calling for calm after the recent escalation in violence, the BBC's Jon Donnison in Gaza reports. In the past week at least 10 Palestinians, including several civilians and children, have been killed by Israeli attacks. In the same period, militants in Gaza have fired more than 80 rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel. In the past Hamas has not been able to rein in all militant groups in Gaza, our correspondent He adds that Israel's military power is vastly superior to the Palestinian militants, and if there were another major conflict - similar to Israel's major offensive more than two years ago - Gaza would again come off worse. More than 1,300 Palestinians died in the war two years ago. Thirteen Israelis were killed.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

Shipping issues
So I ordered a 42" Plasma TV at a great price on 3/1. When I fished ordering it said the estimated delivery date would be today 3/5. Obviously I was thrilled with the speed but not convinced. The order shows even still that the tracking and carrier data are unavailable. This made me nervous but I read on the dell site that it could take 3 days for the tracking # to be updated and if I haven't received an Email saying it was delayed I should be fine. So what the heck I'll take today off work so I don't miss it. By 2pm I'm getting worried so I call customer service. They couldn't even tell me what carrier had it. She told me she would report it and I could expect a response in 48 hours. "So it is for sure not coming today right?" I said. "Well the delivery date is the 5th so it should." At that point I knew she had pretty much the exact info I have and either didn't have the ability or desire to help me further. It is now after 5pm and I am wishing I had stuck with my instinct to assume it wouldn't actually get here when they indicated. Even if by some miracle it actually shows up today I'm not terribly impressed all the way around.mobile phone

Tiesto Debuts Unfinished Kanye West Remix At Ultra Music Festival
DJ says he and Kanye are still tweaking 'Lost in This World' remix.By Akshay Bhansali

MIAMI — When MTV News caught up with house music producer Dirty South Saturday afternoon (March 26) as part of our coverage of Miami Music Week, he was still beaming from a blessing he received the night before. Tijs Verwest, known to millions of fans around the world by his stage name Tiësto, dropped Dirty South's new remix of Diddy Dirty Money's "Coming Home," a mix commissioned by Diddy himself, for fans at Miami's annual Ultra Music Festival last night at Bicentennial Park. With a sold-out crowd of 50,000 electronic dance music fans in attendance, the display had quite an audience.
"I've seen a video clip of Tiësto's performance from last night. It was sick! rejoiced Dirty South.
That the veteran dance music icon played remixes and songs featuring recent partnerships with younger producers and vocalists over the course of his headlining set at UMF should come as no surprise. Tiësto, as of late, has been reborn. Once a strictly trance-music icon, the Dutch producer's current sound is very much of today — a big-room trance/house blend that's opened him up to an even larger fanbase.
Very early in his set at the main stage, Tiësto brought the crowd to a roar when he broke out his hit song with rising star and countryman Hardwell, "Zero 76," which was named after their shared area code of birth in Holland. Hands, accessorized neon lights and beach balls bounced across the horizon from beginning till the end of the song, which since dropping in February still remains perched high on the Beatport.com top 100 songs.
After the rousing Dirty South-Diddy Dirty Money remix, the crowd went nuts at the onset of Tiësto Kaleidoscope fan favorite "Escape Me," and on the ground, it sounded as if all 50,000 voices at Bicentennial Park were chanting the CC Sheffield chorus.
Of course, fans were completely floored when Tiësto launched into one of his latest remixes — an as yet unfinished mix of rapper Kanye West's "Lost in This World." At first it seemed it may have taken the audience a second to take stock of what they were actually hearing — West's soulful lamenting lyrics over dark, hard-hitting synths and Tiësto drums. The pause was brief, as hands were in the air in a matter of moments. Tiësto revealed that the song is not yet finished, as he and West are collaborating on song tweaks.
Also of note, fans were treated to Tiësto and Mark Knights' "Beautiful World," featuring the vocals of Dino, which as of this week is the #1 song on the Beatport.com chart.
We will have much more from Tiësto, including more about his song with Kanye West, and interviews from the biggest stars in dance music coming up next week.
What do you think of Kanye West and Tiësto teaming up together? What do you think the finished product will sound like? Let us know in the comments below!

Mexican journalists are frequently attacked Many of Mexico's leading media organisations have agreed common guidelines on how to cover drug-related violence. Newspapers and broadcasters agreed not to glorify drug traffickers or publish cartel propaganda. They also promised joint action to protect journalists, at least 20 of whom have been killed since 2006. The accord defends the media's right to criticise Mexican government policy and actions in the drugs conflict. More than 40 media groups, which between them own over 700 television networks, radio stations and newspapers, signed the agreement at a ceremony in Mexico City. Among them were the top broadcasters, Televisa and TV Azteca. "The power of organised crime to corrupt and intimidate has become a threat to the institutions and practices that sustain our democracy," a joint statement said. "Today, freedom of expression is at risk". The 10-point voluntary agreement says the media should "condemn and reject" organised criminal violence, and cover it in a measured way, putting it in the context of violence elsewhere. It says the media must not allow itself be used to transmit propaganda for the drug cartels, or make their leaders look like "victims or heroes". The accord also notes that Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, with more than 20 murdered since 2006. It says media organisations should do more to protect their staff from violence, and respond in a coordinated way when any individual journalist or media outlet is threatened, intimidated or attacked. In other points, it says news organisations should:protect the rights of victims and children involved in the violence and never release information that puts them at risk.treat people arrested as suspects rather than presume they are guilty.not publish or broadcast information that endangers police and military operations.report any violations of human rights by government security forces.encourage Mexican citizens to report crime and help reduce violence without putting themselves at risk.President Felipe Calderon has in the past accused the media of exaggerating the scale of drug-related violence in Mexico. He has also criticised them for publishing statements and threats from the cartels which are left next to the bodies of people they have killed. More than 35,000 Mexicans have died in drug-related violence since President Calderon began to deploy the army against the drug cartels after he took office in December 2006.

BBC closes its Caribbean Service
The University of the West Indies is to get copies of the Service's radio and online archives Related Stories The BBC Caribbean Service is making its final broadcasts, ending seven decades of programming for the region. The service is being shut as part of budget cuts announced by the BBC World Service in January. BBC managers say they have had to make tough choices because of a 16% cut in UK government funding. But one critic called it a short-sighted decision, showing the BBC did not understand the complexities of the region. The Macedonian, Albanian, Serbian and Portuguese for Africa services have also been closed in a bid to to save $75m (£46m) a year. Seven other language services have moved away from radio to focus on online, mobile and television content. These include Spanish for Latin America which last month ended its remaining radio broadcasts, on short-wave and intended mainly for Cuba. This week, members of the Caribbean Service team have each presented a final programme, including material from the BBC archives. Copies of the sound and text content of the service's radio and online output are being donated to the University of the West Indies, which will have a team working at the BBC's Bush House base to catalogue the material. E-mails to the Caribbean Service overwhelmingly voiced sadness at its closure. "It filled a great need for the Caribbean audience to have a view of the world not provided by local radio stations," wrote Jacqueline Sharpe in Trinidad and Tobago. Regional media commentators have said the demise of the BBC Caribbean Service should spur renewed efforts to create a pan-Caribbean news network. Trevor McDonald was one of the journalists nurtured by the service "Since the announcement, we have come to truly know the important role we have been playing across the Caribbean. We're going out on a high - what more can any broadcaster ask for?" said Caribbean Service head Debbie Ransome. The origin of the Caribbean Service was Calling the West Indies, a programme that began in 1939, featuring West Indian troops on active service during World War II reading letters to their families. From 1943 to 1958, it became Caribbean Voices, highlighting West Indian writers, including VS Naipaul, George Lamming, Andrew Salkey and Samuel Selvon. In 1949, We See Britain was introduced as part of the programming for the Caribbean under the management of cricketer-turned-producer Ken Ablack. Over the next three decades, the Caribbean Service nurtured producers and presenters, including Trevor McDonald who became one of the best-known newsreaders on British television. The service closed in the mid-1970s, but in 1988 it reopened as a news and current affairs department. David Jessop, director of the London-based Caribbean Council, has described the closure as another marker of Britain's "less than joined-up approach to the region". In an article at the time of the announcement in January, he said: "The sole vehicle offering the region the chance to hear on a daily basis about events from a broader perspective and sometimes hold politicians to account, will be no more and leading figures in public life will find it virtually impossible to present their views to a region-wide radio audience." Announcing the cuts, BBC Global News director Peter Horrocks said the closures were "not a reflection on the performance of individual services or programmes". "They are all extremely important to their audiences and to the BBC," he said. "It is simply that there is a need to make savings due to the scale of the cuts to the BBC World Service's grant-in-aid funding from the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and we need to focus our efforts in the languages where there is the greatest need and where we have the strongest impact." BBC World Have Your Say is broadcasting a special programme from the Caribbean on 25 March at 1800 GMT to mark the last day of the BBC Caribbean Service, with reporters in Jamaica, Trinidad and Antigua.

Amman clashes leave one man dead
Many people are reported to have been injured in Friday's clashes Related Stories A man has died after Jordanian security forces used batons and sprayed water to disperse a clash between pro-monarchy and pro-reform demonstrators in Amman. Amer Khairy Saad told Reuters that his father, Khairy, had died in hospital. He said police had beaten him as they were trying to disperse the opposing crowds who had gathered near the interior ministry in the capital. Medics at Prince Hamzeh hospital confirmed his death to AFP news agency, without specifying the cause. Many people are reported to have been injured in Friday's clashes.The pro-reform protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit, reforms to parliament and for corrupt officials to stand trial. King Abdullah appointed Mr Bakhit last month after large street protests. Jordan's opposition has demanded electoral reforms that would see the prime minister directly elected and more powers granted to parliament. In a letter published in Jordanian newspapers on Wednesday, King Abdullah urged Mr Bakhit to push through parliament reforms the monarch proposed in February after the last prime minister was sacked. At the time, Jordanians had taken to the streets in largely peaceful protests calling for political reforms and action over high unemployment and rising prices. Mr Bakhit is a retired army major-general who previously served as Jordan's prime minister from 2005 until his resignation in 2007. Jordan is just one of the countries in the region where protests have been held to demand political changes after the presidents of Tunisia and Egypt were toppled in January and February.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

Hero's welcome?
Russia's spies were whisked away from a Moscow airport In the bad old days, homecoming spies could expect heroes' welcomes in Moscow, their faces on commemorative postage stamps and lifelong adulation. But that, of course, was when they were fighting evil empires, rather than living the suburban American dream. Today's returning spies seem to have done little hard work - or at least little work for the Russian state. The glamorous Anna Chapman, for example, appears to have spent more time flogging private planes to Russian oligarchs. But they have all been offered a Moscow flat and a $2,000 (£1,327) state pension - the sort of riches plenty of Muscovites can still only dream of.The Russian press are treating the entire episode with a mixture of humour and disdain. Our Man in Havana, James Wormold, passed off mundane details as secrets One commenter observed: "It reminds me of Graham Greene's Our Man in Havana where the spy convinces his Centre that a diagram of a vacuum cleaner is the blueprint for a new secret weapon." The radio station Ekho Moskvy has announced a cartoon contest on the topic of the returning spies. But there are plenty of Russians who say the spies "just weren't up to the job". With the exception of the redheaded Anna Chapman, who will doubtless soon be offered a talk show and a column on a British tabloid, they do look like a dull lot compared to their Soviet forerunners - who were very good indeed at their jobs. EAST-WEST PRISONER SWAPS1962: KGB Colonel Rudolf Abel freed by US in exchange for Gary Powers, pilot of a U-2 spy plane shot down over the USSR in 19601964: Gordon Lonsdale, real name Konon Molody, member of the Portland spy ring, is returned to the USSR1969: UK frees Soviet agents Peter and Helen Kroger for Gerald Brooke, jailed for spying in USSR1981: Guenter Guillaume, agent for East Germany's Stasi, exchanged for Western agents1986: Soviet dissident Anatoly Sharansky and three Western agents swapped for KGB husband-and-wife spies Karl and Hana Koecher and two other agentsUS and Russia in airport spy swap Who is on the 'spy-swap' list? The old Soviet-era spies tended to be a cheerful lot, full of joie de vivre - it is perhaps their capacity for jollity that made them successful. Mikhail Lyubimov, who spied in London in the 1980s, once told me that former spies should form an international association aimed at promoting international understanding. "With our experience, we are by far the best equipped to work towards bettering understandings between nations," he said, only semi-seriously. A former colleague, who was kicked out of Japan for spying, went on to have a successful career writing books that opened Japanese culture to Russian readers.Nevertheless, it cannot be easy to come home after years of exile. Russia has changed a lot in the last 10 years: the rouble rate is confusing, cars are different, the metro works in a different way, attitudes have changed. Soviet spy Gordon Lonsdale, otherwise known as Konon Molody And let us not forget that these spies have, between them, eight children who were born in the US. Since their parents were pretending not to be Russian, they probably do not even speak a word of the language. Although they will be allowed to settle in Russia, will they want to? Even in Soviet days, some found it difficult to cope with life after a spy swap. The Koechers, who returned to Czechoslovakia following a swap in the 1980s, never properly re-integrated, nor did the Russian spies the Krogers/Cohens, who were flown to Moscow in 1969. Despite being awarded a dacha and numerous state honours, they never recovered emotionally and lived isolated lives, refusing even to learn Russian. Gordon Lonsdale/Konon Molody, swapped during the Cold War, suffered from depression after his return to the Soviet Union and died mysteriously during a mushroom-picking expedition. The manner of this latest swap had all the fun of the Cold War - you could almost hear the opening strains of the Third Man, watching the aeroplane ballet on the Vienna tarmac. But although the spies will not be paupers, their lives may not be easy.

'American Idol' Report Card: Jacob Lusk Dominates Motown Night
While the gospel belter wows the judges, Casey Abrams' take on another Marvin Gaye classic fails to impress.By Eric Ditzian
Jacob Lusk
Photo: FOX
Last week, we awarded a handful of gold stars to "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler for commentary filled with wacky maxims and wackier metaphors (seven days on, we still don't know what he meant by "ethnic what-it-is-ness"). This week, we're forced to dole out a demerit to Jennifer Lopez, because four weeks into the voting portion of the show, the new judge still hasn't learned that — in class as in reality competitions — you need to wait your turn to talk. Over and over on Wednesday night, J. Lo interrupted her fellow judges, talking over Randy Jackson and butting in as Tyler, once again, dipped the English language in LSD.
Listen, Jennifer — it's a long season and we dig your passion, but we're hoping for more from you as the "Idol" season pushes forward. That's exactly how we'd been feeling, in fact, about a bunch of promising contestants who'd disappointed us in recent weeks.
Thankfully, a bunch of them — Jacob Lusk in particular — roared back on Wednesday's show. Here's how everyone ended up on this week's "American Idol" report card.
Excellent
Jacob Lusk: In our "Idol" preview on Wednesday, we counseled Jacob to make restraint his key creative directive. Jimmy Iovine echoed that same advice, and the 23-year-old singer took it — and proceeded to deliver his finest performance of the season. While his rendition of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "You're All I Need to Get By" was not quite up to the level of Kelly Clarkson's so many years ago, it was still far and away the evening's best. The kid has got serious vocal range and each word drips with emotion. Add in that sequence of hugs from his grandma and a dozen lucky ladies, and it's no wonder Jacob dominated Motown night.
Good
Scotty McCreery: At times during his cover of Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life," Scotty tried to loosen up, tried to push his vocals outside his country comfort zone. But the truth is, the times he strayed from his twangy baritone were the times it became clear that he doesn't have the most powerful voice. Scotty really is at his best when he sticks with exactly what he knows. Let's stop fighting it. He is who he is, and is pretty darn good at it.
Pia Toscano: By now we have to admit that a slightly uptempo Whitney Houston tune is as fast-paced a performance as Pia will ever be comfortable giving. Wednesday's rendition of Stevie Wonder's "All in Love Is Fair" was big and beautiful and, yes, another ballad — and the judges admonished her for it. Next week she just might pick up the pace; we'll have to see if she's at ease doing it.
Paul McDonald: Paul's wisest move was to strap on that guitar, keeping him anchored in place rather than thrashing about like a sailboat in a tsunami. For the first time in weeks, we were finally able to concentrate on those unique vocals of his, which sound like he smoked a carton of Marlboro Reds, then guzzled a bucketful of locally grown honey. In short, Paul is back!
Satisfactory
Lauren Alaina: She started off excellently, with a sparse intro on the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On." The rest of the performance did not live up to that beginning, if only because the tempo and the backup singers didn't give her a chance to shine. Oh, and when this 16-year-old tries to play the seductress, it's just uncomfortable. Swagger's one thing; a teenager pretending to be a "Coyote Ugly"
waitress is another.
Stefano Langone: After wowing viewers last week, Stefano badly stumbled with Lionel Richie's "Hello." That's not because he's missing an emotional connection to his songs any more than anyone on the show save for Jacob (though the judges certainly have embraced that talking point). The problem was that Stefano's vocals simply weren't up to the challenge. That doesn't happen often. We hope it doesn't happen again.
Haley Reinhart: The judges did their best to heap on the praise after Haley regained her bluesy form during a cover of the Miracles' "You've Really Got a Hold on Me." It was the best she's sounded in weeks. Alas, too little, too late. With the modest goal of simply avoiding the bottom three, she assured herself not only a trip to that sad group but quite possibly a one-way ticket back to Wheeling, Illinois.
Naima Adedapo: We love her unpredictability, and yet it might be her undoing. You never know what you're going to get with Naima, which is another way of saying she hasn't made any headway in the old "Idol" law about making clear what kind of artist you are. Her vocals during Martha and the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street" were on-point, and we dig the risks she continues to take. But being such an erratic performer makes it difficult to attract a fanbase that will vote for Naima week after week. Once again, she's in trouble.
James Durbin: James lands in satisfactory territory because after a strong start, the performance utterly collapsed in a barrage of pitchy notes and enough-already squeals. He remains a fan favorite. What we haven't seen from him thus far is consistency from week to week.
Unsatisfactory
Casey Abrams: It wasn't that Casey's performance, when compared to those of the rest of his "Idol" compatriots, was that unsatisfactory. It was that, when contrasted against his earlier songs, his take on Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" was borderline unacceptable. We're starting to worry that, like Andrew Garcia before him, Abrams is a one-trick pony — all growls and too little greatness. Producer Kuk Harrell did give him some excellent advice about not overdoing those soulful groans, but reining them in only served to highlight his by-now-predictable artistry and that maniacal stare. Creepy!
Thia Megia: Thia, Thia, Thia — what are we going to do with you? Well, we have a feeling what voters are going to do or, we should say, not do with you. Kudos for at least going uptempo during a cover of Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave," after so many sonorous ballads. Yet while the tempo was a risk, her vocals stayed in a very safe territory. In the harshest backhanded compliment of the season, Iovine said he was "pleasantly shocked" at Thia's performance.
No one should be surprised, though, if Thia ends up in the bottom three on Thursday.

Robert Pattinson Will Be 'A Really Serious Actor,' Uma Thurman Says
But she can't confirm or deny reports about his nudity in their movie 'Bel Ami': 'I didn't see his bum once!'By Kara Warner

Throughout the course of his first few years in the business, Robert Pattinson has had a great run with quality leading ladies. During MTV News' recent live interview with the star, he joked that he has a special place in his heart for working with "hot girls."
When MTV News caught up with one of the "hot" women in question, Uma Thurman, she laughed off the compliment and turned the praise back toward her co-star and his impressive work in their upcoming period drama, "Bel Ami."
"Robert Pattinson is, I think, going to be a really serious actor," Thurman said while promoting her new movie "Ceremony." "I think he's incredibly concrete in his presence on the set and obviously is very handsome. [He] is a very nice person and he's sensitive. He's present. ... He's a really good actor."
Thurman went on to say that while a lot of attention is focused on his attractiveness, he was very professional during filming and held his own with all the women who appear in "Bel Ami."
"Yes, he's extremely dashing, like an old-world movie star," Thurman admitted. "[But] he's got a lot of weight to him. I don't think he was knocked down by all the women they threw at him [during the filming of 'Bel Ami'], which I think is probably lucky for him."
Speaking to Pattinson's comments that we might see a lot of his bum in "Bel Ami," Thurman revealed she was not privy to any RPattz nakedness.
"I didn't see his bum once!" she said, laughing. "So I can't tell you about it. I don't know what happened to him with other characters, I have no idea, to tell you the truth," she said, adding that just because she didn't see it, doesn't mean it won't be in the film. "I haven't seen the film cut together, so there may or may not be Robert's bum."

Speaking to Pattinson's comments that we might see a lot of his bum in "Bel Ami," Thurman revealed she was not privy to any RPattz nakedness.
"I didn't see his bum once!" she said, laughing. "So I can't tell you about it. I don't know what happened to him with other characters, I have no idea, to tell you the truth," she said, adding that just because she didn't see it, doesn't mean it won't be in the film. "I haven't seen the film cut together, so there may or may not be Robert's bum."

'Water For Elephants' Clip: Robert Pattinson Plans His Getaway
In MTV-premiered sneak peek, RPattz asks Reese Witherspoon to run away with him.By Eric Ditzian

What would you do if Robert Pattinson asked you to run away with him?
That's the question Reese Witherspoon is compelled to answer in a brand-new exclusive clip from "Water for Elephants" that we debuted during "MTV First: Robert Pattinson," a 30-minute live chat with the actor on Friday (March 18).
The clip comes at a point in the movie when Jacob (Pattinson) and Marlena (Witherspoon) are considering fleeing the circus in which they both work. The pair have fallen for each other, though Marlena is married to an unstable animal trainer named August (Christoph Waltz). His life at risk, Jacob is planning to jump from the circus' train.
"If we don't get too far, there's a hotel in Salem," Marlena tells him. "But don't stay longer than the night."
"Just come with me," he says to her considerable vexation. "You think there's nothing out there for you, but there is. You just can't see it."
"Jacob, you don't understand. I can't. He'll find me," she tells him, referring to her husband.
"Marlena, there's a better kind of life that's meant for you," he answers. "Whether that life is with me or not, whether you love me or not, it doesn't matter. But it's got to be now."
Jacob then reaches out for her hand, offering up a smoldering look that would make Edward Cullen proud. After a few seconds of hesitation, Marlena takes his hand in hers. Wouldn't you?
What happens after that? You'll just have to find out when the movie hits theaters April 22.

Dell TechCenter at the Microsoft Management Summit 2011 - Day 2
Viva Las Vegas! I'm in Sin City for the next few days, not to party like a rock star (that can't be accomplished during our 30 minute breaks), but to cover the important happenings at Microsoft Management Summit 2011.
Day 2 of MMS in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center started off with a bang, as thousands of MMS 2011 attendees packed into a massive conference hall to hear Microsoft corporate VP, Brad Anderson, deliver the keynote address. In his speech, he talked about all things Cloud.
To highlight the efficiencies that can be gained using Microsoft Cloud technologies, Anderson held up Target stores as an example. Target is in the process of transitioning to Dell R710 machines running Hyper-V with Dell MD1000s as storage on the back end in their stores. So far, the migration process has been rolled out in approximately 350 stores and has allowed Target to go from 7 servers to only 2 per store. By 2012, Target will have completed the transformation of their IT infrastructure and will have retired over 8000 physical servers as a result of their efforts.
The speech also focused on Microsoft Systems Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 (SCVMM) beta, which was released today and is available for download here. Code named "Concero", SCVMM is aimed squarely at the cloud, as the management tool allows IT admins to easily and quickly create, manage, and monitor private clouds.
Want more details? For a curated and crowd sourced Twitter stream of the tweets from Brad Anderson's MMS 2011 keynote, follow this link.
Our Dell collegues who work on Dell Systems Management Products led a breakout session today entitled The Cloud Effect on Systems Management – Solutions for the Datacenter Infrastructure. The presenters, Enrico Bracalente, Jay Perusse and Tushar Oza, discussed how the Dell OpenManage suite of products reduce complexity and help achieve efficiencies in the datacenter.
They also discussed how Dell and Microsoft are better together. For example, with the help of the Dell Lifecycle Controller and Dell SCCM Deployment Packs, users of Microsoft Systems can easily bare metal deploy to Dell Servers. Also, the Dell Server PRO Management Pack allows SCVMM users to monitor Dell hardware events and it generates PRO tips for these events, which are recommended actions for the given situation.
The Dell team also highlighted the Advanced Integration Manager and VIS Self Service Creator tools, which allow users to easily group, migrate and provision both physical virtual machines in the datacenter. Using the Dell Systems Management tools mentioned in the presentation, Dell users have complete control of their datacenter's hardware, server management and orchestration layers.
Also, we had many visitors to the Dell Booth today commenting on the cool new look of the new Dell E-series laptops, which ship with 2nd Generation Intel Sandy Bridge processors and support the USB 3.0 standard. We have a Dell E6320 in the booth, so swing by to check it out.
Additionally, if you haven't seen the 3D Dell M1000e Blade demo we have in the booth, you should! In the following video, Dell Blades product manager, Chris Christian, gives us a quick summary of this cool interactive, touchscreen tour of Dell blades.

'American Idol' Motown Preview: Will Casey Abrams Bounce Back?
Naima Adedapo and Haley Reinhart hope to avoid a return trip to the bottom three this week.By Eric Ditzian

There was a time when a Motown-themed evening was an "American Idol" institution. Kelly Clarkson delivered such a dizzying take on Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "You're All I Need to Get By" in season one that a bewildered Simon Cowell tried on a Southern accent and told her, "As they say in Texas, y'all did a great job!" Ruben Studdard soared with the Four Tops the next year, and then Fantasia, also trying on a Gaye tune, wowed the judges on her way to the title.
Future seasons would ditch Motown as a whole for specific artists like Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, but there remains a vast trove of "Idol" history for singers to mine as both cautionary tales and I-hope-I-can-sound-so-damn-good aspirations. And as the Motown theme returns Wednesday night (March 23) for the first time since season eight, contestants would be wise to consult those reality-show history books before taking the stage.
Folks who aren't exactly R&B- and soul-inclined, like James Durbin, should note that there are ample risks when it comes to reinventing these classic songs. Just ask Scott MacIntyre, whose honky-tonk rendition of the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" had Cowell referencing the song's lyrics: "How much more can I take?" Other, more thematically conversant season 10 crooners — Jacob Lusk, we're looking in your direction — might find salvation in Motown.
Or not. Anything can happen when the show goes live. Here's what we'll be looking for from each singer.
Casey Abrams
We're not sure if we should blame a hospital visit or simply a misguided arrangement, but Abrams' middle-school-garage-band take on Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a rare misfire for the guy. We hope he's healthy, ditches heavy instrumentation and concentrates on busting out those soulful growls of his. Though we've criticized him in the past for predictable performances — low-key intros, wild-eyed conclusions — this week we want Abrams to stay within his comfort zone. Bring on those wacky body contortions and that groovy groaning, bro!
Haley Reinhart
With two straight appearances in the bottom three, Haley's lucky to have survived this far; she'll have to pull off a stunner this week to avoid a trip back to that ignominious territory. But she might be in luck because Motown week will give Haley a chance to embrace her bluesy DNA. It remains to be seen, however, if she'll embrace that strength or continue her weekly trend of trying on — and then quickly discarding — different artistic identities.
Jacob Lusk
Restraint should be Jacob's mantra this week, one he repeats over and over before taking the stage. The last few weeks, it's seemed like he's been trying to disgorge an epic, cancel-the-show-because-this-kid's-a-winner performance, and the result has been frightening to watch and difficult to hear. Whatever he goes with — perhaps taking a page from Studdard with some Stevie Wonder or Four Tops — Jacob has got to rein himself and sing with the passion (not the agony) that first made him a contestant to watch.
James Durbin
Durbin need not worry that Motown tunes won't be kind to his vocal abilities. Adam Lambert switched up the Miracles' "Tracks of My Tears" in 2009 and even had Smokey Robinson applauding. The 22-year-old just needs to realize he's not at his best when rockin' hard and that ramping down his manic energy — not to mention his squealing — is his best recipe for "Idol" success.
Lauren Alaina
Props to Lauren for bouncing back from her first down week with a savvy cover of Melissa Etheridge's "I'm the Only One." One of her biggest assets — above and beyond a killer instrument and the worshipful attention of "Idol" producers — is an ability to pick the right tune. So we're not concerned about Lauren's song choice. What we'll be keeping an ear out for is how successfully she melds her pop-country-rock stylings with Motown music.
Naima Adedapo
Before she began to second-guess herself — Rihanna one week, Tina Turner the next — we would have imagined Motown week to be an opportunity for Naima to shine. Now we fear she's too artistically confused to go with her creative gut. So instead of giving us something slow and jazzy and unique, we fear Naima might try to reach for something — the Supremes, perhaps — that she doesn't have the chops to pull off.
Paul McDonald
Paul zoomed to the upper echelon of the competition in the show's top 24 phase, but after two lackluster performances, we're wondering if he actually belongs even in the top half of the remaining 11 singers. We hope Paul shows us our second-guessing is unfounded this week. Anything by Marvin Gaye could be the perfect vehicle to do just that.
Pia Toscano
Pia finally inched, however reluctantly, away from ballad territory last week with a little vigorous Whitney Houston action. Now we'd like to see her bust out fully. And that doesn't mean she has to sacrifice showing off her powerful vocals. The Supremes would be an excellent choice for her, unlike Naima — something familiar and upbeat, like "You Can't Hurry Love."
Scotty McCreery
Motown night presents Scotty with his most interesting challenge to date. Will he impose a mainstream country vibe on a Marvin Gaye tune? Will he take this opportunity to show us another side — or at least the hint of one? How amazing would it be to hear him present a deeply soulful yet still country-strong take on the Miracles or the Temptations?
Stefano Langone
With Paul stumbling and Casey coming off a subpar performance, Stefano has a chance to capitalize on his best-in-class showing last week and show he's a true contender. This smooth-voiced 22-year-old stumbled earlier in the season with Stevie Wonder, but we're inclined to blame the cheesy arrangement more than anything else. He actually managed to channel Stevie's voice quite well. But he's been there, done that — so Stevie is off limits. No matter the cover he chooses, Stefano's goal should be to avoid a hammy, distracting arrangement and let those vocals ring.
Thia Megia
The 16-year-old Disney princess has got nowhere to go but up after last week. We'd tell her to avoid a ballad. We'd ask her kindly to start acting her age, rather than like a crusty lounge act, but even when she picked a Disney tune, it sounded like something from an era before the existence of music television. So, in the end, we'll just say this: Go out there and have fun, because this might be the last week you get the chance.

India cable 'authentic' - Assange
Mr Assange says the cables are authentic Related Stories Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said the Indian PM is wrong to have doubted the veracity of a cable which has caused an uproar in India. The diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks suggested that India's ruling Congress party bribed MPs to survive a crucial vote of confidence in 2008. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has denied the allegation and doubted the the veracity of such cables. The leak has put pressure on Mr Singh after a string of corruption scandals. The vote took place after the government's left-wing allies withdrew their support over a controversial nuclear deal with the United States. But the Congress party narrowly survived the vote despite substantial opposition. The leaked cable, reported in The Hindu newspaper, caused uproar in the Indian parliament with the main opposition parties calling on the prime minister to resign. Mr Singh responded that no member of his Congress party or government bribed MPs ahead the vote and cast doubt on the veracity of the cable."It is unfortunate that speculative, unverified and unverifiable communication can be given dignity by the opposition to revive old charges that have been soundly rejected," Mr Singh said. Responding to the criticism, Mr Assange told NDTV news channel that Mr Singh's statements "seem like a deliberate attempt to mislead the public by suggesting that governments around the world do not accept the material and it is not verified". "There is no doubt that these are bona fide reports sent by an American ambassador back to Washington, and these should be seen in that context," Mr Assange said. "That does not mean every fact in them is correct. You have to look at their sources and how they gave this information." If the government had lost the vote, India could have faced early elections. A defeat would have also put the nuclear deal in doubt.

Liv Tyler 'Proud' Of Steven Tyler's 'Idol' Gig After 'A Rough Few Years'
'He's enjoying himself so much,' judge's daughter tells MTV News.By Kara Warner

One of the unexpected pleasures and surprises during this new season of "American Idol" has undoubtedly been the addition of judge Steven Tyler. Whether waiting for his next endearing words of encouragement or recapping his numerous outlandish and creative expletives, America is having as much fun watching Tyler as he seems to be having himself.
And aside from Tyler's newfound fans, via "Idol," no one is more thrilled for his resurgence in popularity than his daughter Liv. When MTV News caught up with her while promoting her new film "Super" recently, we asked for her thoughts on her dad's new gig.
"I haven't been watching every single [episode], which I feel really bad about, but I've been watching a lot and I love it," Tyler revealed. "I feel really proud of him and happy for him. He's had a rough few years, a couple of years in particular, and I'm really happy for him that he's enjoying himself so much," she said."
Liv went on to say that she always knew how much fun he was, but she is glad everyone else is getting to see the other side to his rock-star persona too.

One of the unexpected pleasures and surprises during this new season of "American Idol" has undoubtedly been the addition of judge Steven Tyler. Whether waiting for his next endearing words of encouragement or recapping his numerous outlandish and creative expletives, America is having as much fun watching Tyler as he seems to be having himself.
And aside from Tyler's newfound fans, via "Idol," no one is more thrilled for his resurgence in popularity than his daughter Liv. When MTV News caught up with her while promoting her new film "Super" recently, we asked for her thoughts on her dad's new gig.
"I haven't been watching every single [episode], which I feel really bad about, but I've been watching a lot and I love it," Tyler revealed. "I feel really proud of him and happy for him. He's had a rough few years, a couple of years in particular, and I'm really happy for him that he's enjoying himself so much," she said."
Liv went on to say that she always knew how much fun he was, but she is glad everyone else is getting to see the other side to his rock-star persona too.
"He's so happy and naturally good at what he's doing, it's really nice," she said. "It's so funny for me, everybody keeps coming up to me going, 'Your dad, he's so sweet and he's so funny!' And of course it's the man that I've known my whole life, who tells all those kinds of jokes and has that big heart," Tyler said with a smile. "I'm really happy for him."

Ready for war
Bouake residents just want to get on with their lives As the Ivory Coast deadlock continues between Alassane Ouattara, the man widely recognised as the winner of last year's elections and his rival, Laurent Gbagbo, who nevertheless remains in power, the BBC's Mark Doyle reports from the northern town of Bouake - capital of the area under Mr Ouattara's control. Bouake is a mixture of dynamism and frustration. There is dynamism because this agricultural centre is surrounded by plantations of bountiful mango and cashew trees, cotton fields and rice paddies. The central market has stalls piled high with vegetables, fish and consumer goods. Daily life goes on. But there is also frustration and anger about the situation in the country's main city, Abidjan, where northerners and other suspected supporters of Alassane Ouattara are being oppressed or killed. Laurent Gbagbo has encouraged strident nationalism in the south. Ivory Coast: Battle for power 435 killed since disputed election500,000 forced from their homes9,000 UN peacekeepers to monitor 2003 ceasefireElection intended to reunite countryWorld's largest cocoa producerPreviously seen as haven of peace and prosperity in West AfricaAlassane Ouattara recognised as president-electInternational sanctions imposed to force Laurent Gbagbo to go This has been interpreted by some of his followers as a licence to attack and rob northern Ivorians. The several million migrant workers in Ivory Coast, from neighbouring countries to the north such as Burkina Faso and Mali, are tarred with the same brush and are often the victims of xenophobia. There is impatience here with the fact that Mr Gbagbo's refusal to leave office has led to the re-emergence of the front line that splits the country between north and south. Soldiers loyal to Mr Ouattara here say they are ready to march on Abidjan. "We're waiting for the order from Mr Ouattara to oust Laurent Gbagbo," said Major Daouda Doumbia who goes by the nom de guerre "Big". "When we have that order, we are confident we can execute it," he said.For now there are military clashes in the far west of the country, near the Liberian border, and there is daily violence in Abidjan. But there hasn't yet been a return to all-out war across Ivory Coast. Some northern officers say privately that this won't be necessary. "It's not going to be classic warfare with front lines and trenches," one very senior army officer in Bouake told me on condition of anonymity. "That's not the tactic. We will take strategic locations in Abidjan and we already have our men in place there." “When we drive south and reach the checkpoints controlled by Laurent Gbagbo's troops, they hassle us for money”Kone Moussa Taxi driver Another senior officer here, who also requested anonymity, received a phone call while I was sitting next to him. The call was from Abidjan, the officer said. It was news about the attack last week by forces loyal to Mr Gbagbo on the largely pro-Ouatarra suburb of Abobo. Then the officer made a second call: "I'm going to ring my boys," he said. When he put the phone down on the second call, he claimed there would be "a reply" to the Abobo attack that night - in other words, that there would be a counter-attack. I don't know if the "counter-attack" happened, or, indeed how much of these officers' comments were bluff. But they seemed to me to be telling the truth as they saw it. It has certainly been widely reported that parts of Abidjan are controlled by anti-Gbagbo militiamen who call themselves Invisible Commandos. These Invisible Commandos could be armed self-defence groups or they could be part of a wider, organised attempt at attacking Mr Gbagbo. Most likely they are a mixture of both. Their reported presence in Abidjan has been part of the justification Mr Gbagbo's supporters express for attacking pro-Ouatarra neighbourhoods in Abidjan. But if the soldiers here are frustrated, so are small businesspeople. "We're free to drive anywhere in the northern zone," said taxi driver Kone Moussa. "But when we drive south and reach the checkpoints controlled by Laurent Gbagbo's troops, they hassle us for money." In truth, some of the soldiers who support Mr Ouattara demand money too. Major Daouda "Big" Doumbia is confident of victory I drove to Bouake via Burkina Faso. On the Ivorian side I was stopped at a dozen pro-Ouattara military checkpoints. At every single one I was asked for "a coffee for the cold nights", or "a little help". In the strange world of roadblock etiquette, this was code for demanding money. Of course, northern Ivorians and citizens of neighbouring countries who travel through pro-Gbagbo checkpoints have a much harder time than I did. "You can make it from Bouake to Abidjan," said a minibus station manager here who is known by his nickname, Muti. "But it's hard. You have to pay dearly when you get to Tiebissou,"- the first town on the drive south towards Abidjan which is controlled by soldiers loyal to Mr Gbagbo. "If you have an Ivorian ID card, you might pay 10,000 CFA ($20; £12) to get through", Muti said: "But if you come from Mali or Burkina they demand 20,000 or 30,000 CFA."“There was no significant rigging in the north, I am certain of that”UN election official The north of Ivory Coast voted overwhelmingly for Mr Ouattara during last November's United Nations-organised polls. Parts of the electorate in the south and centre also voted for him. Mr Gbagbo says there was vote rigging in the north and had the Constitutional Council - appointed by him earlier - annul some ballots and declare him the winner. However UN officials in the north, who monitored the voting closely, are adamant that the rigging accusation is not true. "There was no significant rigging in the north, I am certain of that. Alassane Ouattara won the election," said one UN official here. The official is well-placed to know what he is talking about but cannot be named because he is not supposed to speak "on the record" to the press. The mixture of dynamism and frustration in Bouake can be summed up by the difference in atmosphere between two places here, the Central Market and the Railway Hotel. At the Central Market, men and women are rushing about buying and selling. And hundreds of people are buzzing about on cheap Chinese motorbikes trying to make a living. By contrast the Railway Hotel is a place of frustration. The hotel has become one of the unofficial centres of the Ouattara government, which according to most of the world apart from Mr Gbagbo and his close associates is, in fact, the national Ivorian government. But like many government hotels, the Railway Hotel has an air of torpor about it. Ministers go back and forth in the lobby after holding meetings. But they know that they won't have any real power unless and until Mr Gbagbo goes.

UK army chief: Gaddafi not target
MPs are to debate the UK's involvement in military action in Libya later on Monday Defence Secretary Liam Fox has said making Col Gaddafi a target during raids by allied forces could "potentially be a possibility". The UN resolution allows "all necessary measures" to protect Libyan civilians, while ruling out a foreign occupation. Dr Fox told BBC Radio 5 live targeting Col Gaddafi himself was possible, if civilian deaths could be avoided. But US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said he thought targeting Col Gaddafi was "unwise". Dr Fox was asked whether Col Gaddafi was a legitimate target during an interview on BBC Radio 5 live's Pienaar's Politics show. He replied: "Well, that would potentially be a possibility but you mention immediately one of the problems we would have, which is that you would have to take into account any civilian casualties that might result from that. "And at all times we are very careful to avoid that for its humanitarian reasons, but also for the propaganda reasons that it would provide for the regime itself, I'm not at all surprised that they're talking about civilian casualties, I would be very surprised if they weren't." Asked for a response to the comments, Mr Gates said expanding the goal of protecting civilians could divide what he described as a "very diverse coalition". "The one thing that there is common agreement on are the terms set forth in the Security Council resolution. "If we start adding additional objectives then I think we create a problem in that respect. "I also think it is unwise to set as specific goals things that you may or may not be able to achieve," he said. The UK Foreign Office responded: "For the no-fly zone to be enforced safely, it is necessary to carry out carefully targeted operations against Libyan air defence capabilities. "All missions are meticulously planned to ensure every care is taken to avoid civilian casualties. We will continue to work with our Arab partners to enforce the resolution for the good of the Libyan people." MPs are to debate the UK's involvement in military action in Libya later, culminating in a vote in the Commons. The debate - in which Mr Cameron will update MPs on the state of military operations - is expected to begin at about 1530 GMT and continue into the evening. UK forces have taken part in a second night of missile strikes against Libya. Tomahawk missiles were launched from a British submarine in the Mediterranean, but RAF Tornado bombers aborted their mission because civilians were in the area of their target. The UK is part of an international coalition, including the US and France, trying to protect civilians from attacks by Col Gaddafi's forces.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

Matthew McConaughey Harnesses His Salesman Roots In 'Lincoln Lawyer'
'Always have a joker up your sleeve,' actor tells MTV News of the trick to law and sales.By Kara Warner

In "The Lincoln Lawyer," Matthew McConaughey plays unconventional defense attorney Mick Haller, a man who goes to great — and sometimes questionable — lengths to prove a client's innocence. He also conducts most of his business from the backseat of his Lincoln, bringing new life to the phrase "wheelin' and dealin'."
When MTV News caught up with McConaughey during the press day for the film, we learned some fun facts about the actor's past. First, he loves lawyers and debate and wanted to be a lawyer until his junior year in college (when he switched his major to film production). Second, McConaughey revealed that he didn't have to stretch too far to harness the wheelin' and dealin' aspects of his character.
"I come from a long line of salesmen," McConaughey said. "My father and my older brother are pipe salesmen. That's wheelin' and dealin'. I've always appreciated good salesmen. There's an art to selling. You play a different part with different clients. You don't talk to the head of the biker gang the same way you talk to the rich father in Beverly Hills or the rich mother in Beverly Hills who wants her son off and has a million dollars to put up for it; you talk to those people differently."
McConaughey went on to say that salesmen wear different hats as part of the hustle involved in the business.
"You don't show all your cards. Always have a joker up your sleeve," he said, flashing that famous sly smile.
We then asked if that bit of advice is part of his philosophy about life as well.
"[It's] pretty good to have a joker up your sleeve, it helps," he said. "You might not need it, but there are times where you go, 'Oh, there it is. Cool.' "

Social media for science: Geological perspective
Last week, I spent a pleasant hour over lunch talking to my 60-year-old aunt and her 80-something husband about "this Twitter thing" and how one defines a blog. They had heard that social media had played a role in the protests in Egypt and wanted to learn more. Good students, they nodded and asked questions as I showed them the screens and tools on my computer in a restaurant chosen mostly because it had wi-fi.The nice thing about working with them is that there was no skepticism, just open interest. Contrast that to discussions I have had about social media with many professionals, whose attitude toward social media fall mainly into one of three categories: (1) skeptics and naysayers; (2) those who simply can't understand it and don't want to (or are afraid to) take the time to learn about it and/or invest in it; and (3) those with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
