| New Customer Wins Drive HP BladeSystem Growth
HP now offers the most comprehensive portfolio of any blade system vendor with more than 100,000 possible blade combinations in a single enclosure to match the needs of any customer.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama (BCBS/AL) is Alabama's largest healthcare provider and insurer, with more than 3 million customers and more than 4,000 employees. BCBS/AL needed more computing power to manage its current workload plus additional new contracts and services. The company was concerned that adding more physical servers to the 500 it already had would make data center management cumbersome and send power and cooling costs soaring.
BCBS/AL turned to HP to install 48 HP ProLiant BL460c and six HP ProLiant BL480 server blades in HP BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Cam'ron Found! K-Ci Gets Boo'd! Jay-Z Vs Dutch Rapper ...
On top of it all, K-Ci decides it's a good idea to take off his shirt. Somebody else told me he looked like he was “starving for a Nutriment or some type of supplement drink." Damn, homey, in '94 you was the man, homey – WTF happened to you!?
PRETTY UGLY RUMORS!
Also, I want to clear up a rumor about Pleasure (formerly of Pretty Ricky). A while back I got a rumor that he said something derogatory about T-Pain. In actuality, he didn't. I was off like a mug. I heard he has a thing with a certain female magazine publisher though. You know who did you know what with you know who…lets keep that between me and you, P.

In Age of High-Tech, Are Americans Losing Touch with DIY Skills?
Science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein once wrote: “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." That's a tall order. Although I can only do some of those things, I approve of the principle. Nowadays, though, we're specializing more. A popular Internet essay is titled: “I Can't Do One-Quarter of the Things My Father Can." Are hands-on skills—building things, fixing things, operating machines and so on—really in decline? I think so. SAT scores provide a record of academic performance, but there's no equivalent archive for tracking handiness.
'Indiana Jones' whips up Cannes premiere
If you're just dying to see "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" before its worldwide premiere, you may need to take a trip to the South of France. George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford's long-awaited return to the "Indiana Jones" franchise will have its world premiere on Sunday, May 18 at the Cannes Film Festival. If you don't want to play the money to fly to Cannes -- and, let's face it, you probably couldn't have gotten tickets anyway -- "Indy 4" will open around the world on May 22. While Variety is reporting that the "Indiana Jones" premiere is essentially a done-deal, the trade paper takes great pains to note that nothing will be official until Cannes organizers announce the full festival slate in August. Spielberg is still editing and scoring the film -- which would presumably screen in an out-of-competition capacity -- and has yet to show even a rough cut to anybody.
