STERLING — Community revitalization and vibrancy was the focus for community leaders meeting Thursday at the CSU Engagement Center.
The Logan County Chamber of Commerce and Logan County Economic Development Corporation are spearheading an assertive effort to identify priorities and implement actions to strengthen community vibrancy. This initial meeting included representatives from the city of Sterling, Colorado Department of Transportation, Logan County, Logan County Chamber of Commerce, Logan County Economic Development Corporation, Northeastern Junior College, Small Business Development Center, Sterling Urban Renewal Authority, downtown Sterling business owners, and historic preservation enthusiasts.
In recent years, numerous studies and reports have been done on what can be done to improve the local community, ranging from updating the Master Plan to studies of Sterling's downtown district and highway gateways. The discussion was based on these reports, design concepts and recommendations derived from the work performed by Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Colorado State University and Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Colorado Downtown Inc., and the McCool Master Plan for the city of Sterling. The common thread of this work and Thursday's discussion centered on improving the quality of life, historic preservation, restoration and beautification of buildings and property, downtown building improvements, upgrading infrastructure, and funding and incentives.
The Chamber and the LCEDC believe that the visions identified in the reports can be achieved through organizational cooperation of the key entities involved in today's meeting. A review of successful models in other communities is guiding the local leadership team. In the next 30 days, specific roles and responsibilities will be determined. This umbrella structure will coordinate the efforts of the indivual organizations and action committees. The group concurred that by working together and coordinating activities and goals around a common vision, the mission of community revitalization will be achieved.
Regular news releases and information on the progress of the efforts and achievements will be publicized.

Judge Diane Malenfant (now, there's a name with an interesting derivation, like some eight year old did something really bad 1200 years ago) must have had a bad case of a déjà vu (wow, two French references in the first sentence) today as she surveyed her final seven at the second day of the Eastern Dog Club show in Boston MA. Five of the seven were In Peter Green's final the day before. Once again the Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeens, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche finished ahead of the Harrier, CH Downhome Family Tradition. Once again the Pointer, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry, and the Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe's Hidalgo At Goodspice, were joined by the Boxer, CH Dramatic Story Of Sherry Shoot JP, and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, CH Pinecrest Rock The Boat.
Joining the party for the second time this weekend was the Bearded Collie, CH Brigadoon`s Firecracker. Only the Non-Sporting Group winner, the Minature Poodle, CH Surrey Sweet Spice, was a newcomer. And once again, the Pointer, Holly, sang another chorus of "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" challenging number one dog, Giant Schnauzer, CH Galilee's Pure Of Spirit, to come up with another BIS to hold onto the top ranking. We knew they loved tradition in Boston, but we weren't expecting anyone would win four in a row.
And speaking of lightning striking twice, our source in Biloxi tells us that the Chinese Shar Pei, CH Elite's By Design, took her second BIS of the weekend, quite a feat at just 16 months old. All of this is leading us up to the big event, the Eukanuba National Championship. How about a poll? Who are you rooting for? Who do you think will win?

Bono, Bon Jovi, Gene Simmons + More Nominated For 'Big Daddy' Awards
Thirty two categories worth of Big Daddy Awards nominees were announced this week, for the virtual awards show that serves as a fundraiser and public service announcement for prostate awareness. Gene Simmons, Bono and Jon Bon Jovi are just a few of the rockers nominated for awards like the "Do Gooder Big Daddy" and the "All Time Reality TV Big Daddy."
Ozzy Osbourne joins the Kiss lead singer in the latter category. Steven Tyler joins Bon Jovi in the "Rock On Big Daddy" category. Men from every genre of music, sport and form of entertainment are nominated in this fan-supported award show (download the full list of nominees here). You can vote at BigDaddyAwards.com through June 17.
No donation is needed to vote, although numerous celebs are encouraging fans to help the On the Line Foundation in honor of a father or a loved one. "It's great to be a macho man and a tough guy," Arnold Palmer a golfer and "On the Line — Prostate Cancer Survivor Big Daddy" nominee said. "But it's even greater to get some good advice and do something about it (prostate cancer)."
The results will be announced on June 18, the day after Father's Day. "Bringing a touch of entertainment and humor together during a time that celebrates dads is really rewarding," Michael Burg, cancer survivor and show creator said in a press release. "Our ultimate goal is to rally the public to help find a cure for a disease that strikes one out of every six men."

|I think Frida would approve of raw chia pudding
What is my personality? Curious, loud and opinionated. Drawn to colorful people, places, clothes and flavors. That said, although the quiet flavor of basic chia pudding pleased me, my personality itched to impart the base with "louder" flavors, like chocolate and cinnamon. And so, another recipe was born. Take it where you will...
Mexican-Chocolate Raw Chia Pudding
- 1 T agave nectar, or to taste
- 1 T raw cacao powder [or cocoa, if you're not aiming for 100% raw]
- 1 cup raw almond milk [any nut milk will do]
- Seeds from 1 vanilla bean [or 1 tsp vanilla extract, if you're not aiming for 100% raw]
- 2 T chia seeds, white or black
- Pinch salt
- Coconut meat slice, cacao powder or fresh fruit [eg, raspberries or thin orange slices] for garnish
Whisk agave nectar and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl.
Whisk in almond milk and vanilla, then add the chia seeds. Whisk until blended and the seeds are separated.
Taste. Adjust seasonings and sweetness. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Spoon into bowls and top with your garnish of choice

Check out this installation. See any issues with the flue? This is in my neices house in jersey and its locking out on pressure switch stuck open.
I had a Goodman do that the other day, I could hear the switch pull in but the contacts were not making, I checked all the obvious stuff just to make sure, then put it a new switch. Works fine now.
You should tell your Neice to turn the gas off with the cut off and immediately find a different contractor to take a look at the flue and correct it.

This is a condo with a bunch of units done exactly the same way. Why is it that his trade is so full of incompetent contractors playing with peoples safety? Look at the wall of shame and see how much is really out there. Maybe I can find out who the contractor is that did the work and threaten to sue them for not following any decent codes or safety regulations. You would think the gas company might have wanted to inspect the work before they energized the gas line.

Galveston is going to get raped. The real problem with this one is the storm surge, which at high tide, is going to sodomize Galveston. It is headed for us, but it's not a Category 3-4 storm, so it should be like a really intense thunderstorm. Where I am, the real fear is of secondary tornadoes forming. We are boarding windows, and I have a "little friend" in case of rioting, but we've never had that here. Galveston might have it; like NOLA, it has a high percentage of criminals, although they're more poor whites and Hispanics than African-Americans at this point. Freeways are locked up in parts with people fleeing the south of the city. Here's a good source of info: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml#IKE See the carnage live!

Western Digital debuts HD TV add-on
Posted in Personal Tech, 3rd November 2008 11:54 GMT
Western Digital has introduced a gadget that'll turn an external hard drive into an HD-capable media player.
Western Digital's WD TV HD: sits between your telly and your hard drive
Dubbed WD TV HD pulls content off a USB-connected hard drive such as WD's new My Passport external drive and presents it on an HDMI-connected HD TV. The WD TV HD has two USB ports for two drives.
Remote control and drive stand included
The small box supports resolutions of up to 1080p and essentially includes the circuitry and connectors drive makers like Iomega and LaCie build into their media-oriented drives.
The 12.3 x 9.8 x 4cm unit also has a composite-video interface and comes with a composite cable, an AC adaptor and media conversion software. A My Passport HDD stand's thrown in and there's also a remote control too.
The WD TV HD goes on sale today for £79.

highest is a program that efficiently finds the n highest (or lowest) numbers in a list of numbers on stdin. The traditional way of computing this using GNU sort should have a running time of O(n log n), where n is the number of numbers to check. Highest should have a running time of O(n log m), where m is the number of numbers you want to keep. A graph comparing the performance of highest to that of GNU sort is provided.
gprog is a basic GUI pipe meter that shows the percentage complete as data moves through a Unix pipe. It is very fast because it uses a dual process design with a cache oblivious algorithm for self-tuning. Also, the presentation is largely decoupled from the transfer, so that the GUI won't slow down the transfer.
Backshift is a deduplicating (variable-sized, content-based blocks), compressing (xz or bz2) backup program. Full saves and incrementals are pretty indistinct other than the amount of data transmitted, somewhat like with "rsync --link-dest" but without the huge number of hardlinks. It also de-duplicates large file content at a granularity of about 2 megabytes on average; there tends to be a unique copy of each file with size less than around 2 megabytes on average.

Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor 345
Neil Halelamien writes "The competition for the prime contract to build the Crew Exploration Vehicle, the successor to the Space Shuttle, is ramping up. Currently, 11 different companies are creating preliminary designs for systems and vehicles which could be useful in implementing NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. By the end of the year, NASA will select two teams to independently develop and build a CEV design. The two teams will launch competing unmanned prototypes in 2008, at which point NASA will award a final winning contract. Aerospace giants Boeing and Northrop Grumman have formed one team. Another "all-star" team, announced a couple of days ago, is headed by Lockheed Martin. A third team in the running is underdog t/Space, a company with a free enterprise approach to space exploration, which includes notable figures from the commercial spaceflight arena, such as Burt Rutan and Gary Hudson. There is concern that a NASA budget boost to help pay for the exploration program could draw some opposition, as most other government programs are anticipating budget cuts."

The 10 Greatest Things About Living Alone!
Posted by Georgie on July 9, 2013
1.You can tell your food out loud how wonderful and delicious it is. Most of your meals have higher self-esteem than you by the time you are done with them.
2.You can sing anything, anytime you like. And NOT just in the shower. Yesterday it was International Beyonce Day in your apartment.
3. You don't have to compromise on what to watch. Cue 6 hours of Law and Order SVU.
4.No one to judge you on how much you eat. Or drink.
5. No one to come home from the gym and make you feel like a lazy asshole. You actually go yourself sometimes, but after 10 minutes on the treadmill you're all like…
6. You can bring any sexy person you'd like home with you, without judgement or interruption from anyone else. Who are you kidding, you're not bringing anyone back to this sardine can anytime soon.
7. You can dance if you want to, you can leave your cares behind. Which is what you do, every single night.
8. You can play dress up and have conversations with yourself in the mirror. Kind of like that serial killer guy in Silence of the Lambs.
9. You can play the same song on repeat for hours without anyone getting annoyed. You know, like a serial killer.
10. You can go out at midnight and drive around and around, contemplating the meaning of life, crying, etc., because no one is expecting you home and thus no one is wondering where you are. You're basically a serial killer who doesn't actually want to kill anybody, but has all the fun qualities of being an outcast of society.
11. You should get a boyfriend. Or a cat. Or at least a nice houseplant you can give a fun name to, like Stuart.
Meet Stuart.

Text-based contact management software.
Rolo keeps track of your contacts and display them to you with a text-based menu. Rolo strives to be a well-constructed tool for complimenting text-based email programs-such as mutt. It utilizes the vCard version 3.0 format for storing its contacts and it interfaces with the end-user through a NCurses front-end.
Rolo is written in ANSI C and uses Automake and Autoconf to manage its build system. Rolo makes uses of the NCurses library and the menu library that compliments NCurses. It has been developed and tested thoroughly on FreeBSD, but the code was designed to be as non-platform specific as possible.
A vCard library, libvc, was written specifically for rolo using Flex and Bison. The library handles scanning a vCard file, parsing the vCard file into a data storage structure, manipulating the data storage structure, and writing back to file.
A utility to allow mutt users to search through rolo's contacts has been created called mutt_vc_query. It is meant to be used by mutt's query_command. See the section, below, titled Using Mutt With Rolo for more information.
The main index screen of rolo:
The mutt_vc_query utility being used in mutt:
[News archive]
A mutt query_command utility is included with the rolo package. This utility will allow queries to the data file (defaults to ~/.rolo/contacts.vcf) from mutt using mutt's query_command (see muttrc(5) for more info). In order to get this to work, you must add the following line to your ~/.muttrc file after installing the rolo package:
set query_command="mutt_vc_query '%s'"
And you will then be able to query email addresses from the data file when you use the `Q' command in mutt.
The latest release of libvc is: 003
The latest release of mutt_vc_query is: 002
The latest release of rolo is: 011

Hunting heritage histories: Gold Coast heritage sites explored.
- Print page

This is part of a series that explores the places and structures that make up the the Gold Coast Heritage Register.
Head to the main page to find out more and discover other heritage listings profiled in the series.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
It would be hard to find a Gold Coast local (or tourist that's been here) who hasn't been to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and seen the famous rainbow lorikeet feeding sessions.
But the park also has a long and rich history.
The wildlife park demonstrates the evolution of nature based tourism on the Gold Coast and is also the coast's earliest surviving tourist attraction.
As well as being sentimentally important to the region, certain structures on the property are also of heritage significance.
It also has aesthetic significance due to its open green spaces and views.
But it hasn't always been the 'Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary' - it was established by local man Alex Griffiths in 1947 as the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary
"Alex had a vision about having this bird sanctuary," says Queensland National Trust President, Stephen Sheaffe.
"Even though he didn't start out to establish a bird sanctuary... he fed the birds to stop them eating his flowers! - that's what started it and it just continued on."
In due course Alex purchased more and more land and what started as a place for bird feeding displays grew into a huge wildlife sanctuary.
However in the 1970s the park grew too big for Alex to handle financially and he handed it over to the National Trust who still manage it today.
"He had a vision to see it continued, he approached the National Trust and said 'will you continue to operate this sanctuary for me' and we agreed," says Stephen.
However Alex did continue to live on site and stayed involved in the sanctuary until his death in 1998.

Why Sarah Ferguson won't be easily forgotten as ABC's 7.30 presenter
Is there a more closely monitored maternity leave in this country than that of Leigh Sales? The host of the ABC's current affairs flagship 7.30 finished up in February of this year, prior to the birth of her second child, and her place was taken by award-winning Four Corners reporter Sarah Ferguson, who has proven to be a capable host and, crucially, a formidable interviewer.
Sales is by no means a pushover, but surely some of Ferguson's bruised subjects are counting down the days until her predecessor's six months away ends? If Education Minister Christopher Pyne, who made the mistake of trying to mock Ferguson during a recent post-federal budget discussion and was met with short shrift, had any sense he'd be around at Sales' home, offering to hang out laundry, change nappies, or anything else that might facilitate her early return.
Ferguson is strictly business; even her welcomes are pared-down and delivered at a decent clip. Born and raised in Britain, but a resident here for more than two decades, she has a hybrid accent that does wonderful things with certain words – every MH370 link she does should by law use "radar" at least once – but she also literally gets more into a 10-minute slot than her contemporaries.
Ferguson is not ferocious or pushy or bossy – or any other coded phrase a forthright woman in the public eye often attracts – she's in fact unyielding, determined and precise. She doesn't appear ready to concede ground in the interest of moving on, which matters in the context of 7.30, a crucial platform in Australia public discussion, because successive generations of politicians believe (or have been taught) that blind persistence will win them the day, or at least avoid defeat.
Letting a politician speak, as they like to self-righteously demand when pressed, doesn't actually make for better answers, just for longer, repetitive ones. So if Ferguson interrupts a response, as she did several times last week with Minister of Immigration and Border Protection Scott Morrison, then the standby narrative is reset and there's more chance for a fresh attempt at a knowledgeable question begetting a genuine answer (okay, only a miniscule chance when it comes to Morrison, an otherworldly disseminator of spin).
Unlike 7.30's former political editor Chris Uhlmann, Ferguson isn't a point scorer, bogged down in trying to get a tiny victory, but there is no denying her persistence. The 12 minutes Treasurer Joe Hockey spent with Ferguson upon the budget's release was full of taut exchanges where semantics wasn't an escape hatch. "I don't need to teach you, Treasurer, what a tax is," Ferguson noted at one point, having already taught him several other things.
Ultimately it was a robust, enquiring exchange. Joe Hockey survived, and in some instances thrived during the interview, and it's perfectly okay for those in a position of power to be challenged in such a clear manner. If they're willing to meet Ferguson head on, i.e. not trying the now discredited Christopher Pyne manoeuvre, then there is hope for them.
The inexperienced, however, should probably steer clear. A week ago Ferguson dissected Dio Wang, the Palmer United Party's senator-elect from Western Australia, whose business relationship with his leader predated his political conversion. Her questions fell into place one after the other, revealing a dangerous logic Wang didn't understand until he was making it worryingly clear on national television.
At one point, during a discussion of allegations that business funds had been sidelined into political campaigning, Wang attempted to suggest some invoices had been mislabeled, before a John Clarke and Bryan Dawe-worthy piece of dialogue where Wang managed to say he wasn't sure about the veracity of the allegation, and then that he was sure they were wrong. "You just said you were unsure about the allegations," Ferguson calmly said, shortly before putting Wang out of his misery by concluding the live cross.
It appears unlikely Ferguson would be influenced by circumstances, but perhaps there's something to be said for going into such a prominent post with a pre-determined length of incumbency. Sarah Ferguson might only be fronting 7.30 for six months, but she won't be quickly forgotten afterwards.
Craig Mathieson has been the film critic for The Sunday Age since March 2012, having previously held the same position for Rolling Stone and The Bulletin. The former magazine editor writes widely on film, music and television, and is still able to quote sizeable chunks of the dialogue from Michael Mann's Heat.

Flying the airplane electric presented aerospace engineer a 'green' challenge
Four years ago, Jack Langelaan scaled up his research to take on a different challenge. In 2011, Langelaan led an international team that won the Green Flight Challenge, a NASA program intended to spur private development of fuel-efficient small airplanes. "We were not the first to fly an electric-powered airplane," he says. "But we were the first to demonstrate that electric-powered flight can be practical."

Thought Leaders Gather for Public Conference on Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship in the Legal Profession
Legal professionals, students, entrepreneurs, scholars, and technology experts from around the globe will gather in London, England, on Friday, June 14, 2013, to examine the future of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship in legal services industry. The free public event, titled ReInvent Law London, features highly engaging talks from thought leaders in law, technology, and business, with the aim of presenting new goals and paths to approaching the legal systems of today's global marketplace.
"The conference is about cultivating new ideas in law, technology, design, and delivery to innovate the legal services industry," said Michigan State University College of Law Professor Renee Newman Knake, co-coordinator of ReInvent Law London 2013 and co-director of the ReInvent Law Laboratory at Michigan State Law. "Lawyers are regulated to the point where it stifles innovation. ReInvent Law is about imagining possibilities and gathering the game changers who will build the future of the industry."
"The event is in large part a 'user-generated' conference," said MSU Law Professor Daniel Martin Katz, co-coordinator of the event and co-director of the ReInvent Law Laboratory. "Potential speakers submit presentation proposals, and hundreds of people vote online to select the finalists who will speak at the event. Topics range from using technology in entrepreneurial ways to exploring virtual law practice, artificial intelligence, and more."
Invited presenters include Craig Holt, chief executive at Quality Solicitors; Chris Kenny, chief executive at the Legal Services Board; and Richard Susskind, independent adviser to major professional firms and national governments, and author of Tomorrow's Lawyers and The End of Lawyers? Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services.
The event also will feature student speakers from Michigan State Law's 21st Century Law Practice Summer Program in London and the 10 finalists selected through online public voting. A full list of speakers and presentation synopses can be found at www.reinventlawlondon.com.
ReInvent Law London will be held from 12:30 to 6 p.m. at the CBI Conference Center at the Centre Point Tower. The event is free, but seating is limited. A reception will follow the conclusion of presentations.
Anyone interested in the future of law, technology, or entrepreneurship should attend—lawyers, academics, students, technology specialists, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, telecommunication experts, journalists, bloggers, and more. Media and scholars have raved about past ReInvent Law events held in Toronto, Dubai, Silicon Valley, and London. A sample of past presentations can be viewed at www.reinventlawchannel.com. Register at www.reinventlawlondon.com.
Another ReInvent Law event is scheduled for New York City in November 2013.

I'm in a basic web design class. I am creating a site for a project, and essentially what I want to do is this:
I want to make it so when I click on an image of a picture frame, a box appears with HTML content. By "appears", I mean that the picture frame image expands as if one was pulling the frame towards them to read the detailed information. The expanded image would be in front of the home page.
Problem: I am pretty good with HMTL and CSS but we haven't started with Javascript yet.
I really want to make this work, so if anybody knows how to make it work, please reply.
My professor won't help me, but says I'll automatically get an A in the class if I can make it happen.
Take a look at prettyPhoto. I've used it in the past and it is very easy to implement. If you are good with HTML, you shouldn't have a problem implementing it.
Hope that helps!

Story highlights
- François Hollande's Socialist government announced a €20bn tax break for companies
- Responding to months of pressure from business for urgent action to help compete
François Hollande's Socialist government finally responded on Tuesday to months of pressure from business for urgent action to address France's sliding industrial competitiveness by announcing a €20bn tax break for companies.
The measure fell short of the €30bn "competitiveness shock" recommended by Louis Gallois, former head of aerospace group EADS, in his government-commissioned report on the issue published on Monday.
But the scale of the tax credit -- the main feature among 35 measures set out by prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault -- to a large extent belied speculation that the Gallois report would be "buried" by a government under pressure from the left not to give in to special pleading by the business community for a reduction in France's high labour costs.
The pressure of fast-rising unemployment, running at 10 per cent of the workforce, and the threat of recession next year appeared to overcome government reticence.
Pierre Moscovici, finance minister, said the measures would lead to the creation of 300,000 jobs over five years and would add half a percentage point to annual growth over the same period. "It is a moment of truth," he said. "It is a step no French government has taken before."
Laurence Parisot, the head of the Medef employers' federation which has led the campaign for a big cut in labour costs, said the proposals were "good and significant". She said Medef wanted the government to go further, with labour costs needing to fall by €70bn to match Germany. But she told the Financial Times: "For the first time the French government has admitted clearly and unambiguously that there is a problem of cost competitiveness. This is truly an important moment for our economy."
However, the government avoided a direct reduction in the heavy social welfare charges levied on employers and employees that Mr Gallois said should be slashed. It postponed any reform of the financing of the convoluted welfare system until next year.
The measures "do not go to the heart of the problem, as they fail to tackle the high level of social security contributions that represent the bulk of the French tax wedge on labour," said Tullia Bucco, economist at Unicredit.
Instead, Mr Ayrault plumped for handing businesses a €10bn tax credit in 2013 with a further €5bn in each of the following two years, adding up to a permanent €20bn tax break -- the equivalent of 1 per cent of gross domestic product -- from then on.
The tax credit, set against employment and available to loss-making as well as profit-making companies, will apply to all businesses, not just to exporters. The benefits must be used to boost investment and employment, not to fund dividends or share buybacks.
Mr Ayrault said the tax credits amounted to a 6 per cent cut in labour costs, among the highest in Europe and blamed by employers for undermining their ability to compete internationally, especially with their German rivals.
They will be partly financed by €10bn in additional public spending cuts over 2014-2015, yet to be specified, on top of savings already planned from next year. The government has been under strong pressure, including by the International Monetary Fund this week, to make deeper cuts in public spending, which accounts for 56 per cent of GDP.
The remainder of the cost will be covered by an increase in value added tax and environmental taxes. The base rate of VAT will rise to 20 per cent from 19.6 per cent, with a further rise in a reduced rate, mainly for restaurants, to 10 per cent from 7 per cent at present. VAT on food and other essentials will be reduced to 5 per cent from 5.5 per cent.
This was something of an embarrassing reversal by President Hollande who had earlier ditched a plan bequeathed by his centre-right predecessor for an across-the-board increase in VAT of 1.6 percentage points in return for reductions in employer social charges.
But Mr Ayrault said the measures were a "major and decisive" step towards a "new French model" to make the economy "more competitive" and able to deliver "more solidarity". The strategy was to move French industry up the value chain to higher quality products, as Germany had achieved.
Mr Gallois said the proposals, which include many of his recommendations on boosting investment, innovation, skills and the strength of small and medium-sized businesses, showed that the government had "understood the measure of the problem".
It remained unclear, however, how far the government was prepared to go in pursuing deeper structural reforms in areas such as the rigid labour market, as demanded by business leaders and international institutions such as the IMF.
It warned on Monday that France risked further loss of its competitive edge if it did not keep pace with labour and service market reforms now under way in Italy and Spain.
Labour market reforms are subject to talks between employers and trade unions due to carry on until the year's end; the 35 government proposals included new pledges on cuts in public spending and reforms in areas such as transport, housing, the service sector and the public sector. But there was little detail.

I am planning an archery elk hunt several years from now. I don't think I will have enough points for a prime limited draw area, so I am considering a general tag area. How are area's 67 and 84 during the early archery season? I am more interested in opportunity vs. trophy potential. I am open to other general areas, these are just two that look good based on MRS info.

And he and Tanny have done nothing but cry about losing Brad Smith. Why didn't they keep him for the $15MM over 4 years. If the wildcat is so important to them and if Brad was such a STs ace that seems like a good deal. With all of the money they have wasted on JAGs, guys like Eric Smith making $3MM, Smith would have been a steal.
2. Turns out getting rid of Smith was the right move. Buffalo overpaid him and he has done nothing for them.
2. True for Buffalo it is a waste. But for us, if you listen to Rex and Tanny, it would have been a steal. They have done nothing but talk about how much they miss him and what he meant to the team. And in trying to replace him, they brought in Tebow, which put the final nail in Sanchez' coffin and basically put the perceptions of the Jets being a circus on steroids.
Last edited by DDNYjets; 01-31-2013 at 02:15 PM.
I also partially blame Tebow for this. He could have pushed for Jacksonville and instead he came here. He partially dug his own grave by coming here.
I think Tebow wished he went to Jacksonville but I do not feel sorry for him. You are right, he got what he wanted. But so did the Jets.
Just another reason why I wanted to just press the reset button on the whole thing. I think Tanny, Rex and Woody all had a say in Tebow coming here and if they truly didn't realize what they were getting into with Tebow then they have no right to be running an NFL team. But you can't fire the owner.
I love these time warp stories because they're based on pure hypotheticals with complete disregard of the multitude of variables that determine an outcome.
As already mentioned, Harbaugh had not even had success at Stanford yet in 2009. Further, he was not bringing with him the Niners front office so he wouldn't be dealing with the same players and same picks. There is no way to say that Harbaugh with the Jets today would be the same as he is with the Niners if he had been hired 2 years early.
Rex is a defensive coach
Harbaugh is a qb coach.
Harbuagh would have done a much better job developing Sanchez than Schitty and Soprano but the trade-off would have been we would not have had an elite defense from 2009-2011. Harbaugh ahd the benefit of falling in on a great D in San Francisco that was loaded with talent.
That's one example out of too many to count incompetent decisions this organization is known for. Why draft Marino, we can get O'Brien. etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc............
Ask Vin why I don't like Jim Harbaugh.
I don't like playing the coulda, shoulda, woulda game, but for this instance I'll play.
Assuming Harbaugh had been hired here, would things be any different than they are now? I don't think so.
You still had Mike Tannenbaum pulling the strings and having final say. That means we likely would have FIRED a great HC like Jim Harbaugh just because we had no idea that our GM was what was killing the team.

Prostitution and Pornography examines debates about the sex industry and the adequacy of the liberal response to critiques of the sex industry. The anthology focuses particularly on the very different ways prostitution and pornography are treated. Unlike other books that deal with the sex industry, this volume brings together academics and industry veterans and survivors to discuss the ways prostitution, pornography, and other forms of commercial sex are treated, and to ask questions about the role that ideas about the self, personal identity, and freedom play in our attitudes about the sex industry.

A pair of Wind Watch Golf & Country Club Members experienced a truly magic moment at the Club's Valentine's Day dinner this weekend.
The couple, who got married at the Club in 2012, arrived at Wind Watch's Valentine's Dinner ready to share big news: they're expecting their first child! And that's not the end of it: the couple had just come from the doctor and brought with them a sealed envelope that would reveal the gender of their baby – they wanted to be surprised with the good news at their Club, the special place where they wed two years earlier.
The Wind Watch team sprang into action, quickly crafting a wonderful memory the couple would never forget. The team decorated a dessert plate with the corresponding blue or pink icing color to reveal whether the couple was expecting a baby boy or girl, and had a team member in place to capture the big reveal on camera. The team brought the dessert plate out of the kitchen and to the waiting couple's table and….
The icing was pink! The couple is having a baby girl!
Now that's what we call a magic moment. Way to go Wind Watch Golf & Country Club team, and congratulations to the happy couple on their growing family!

From Catsparella via Catster...
In 2001, with the help of Best Friends Catnippers and FixNation Disney began instituting a Trap, Neuter, Return policy to help manage the feral population in the park. The cats are caught and fixed before being released back onto the grounds, and kittens are all promptly adopted out. Cats that remain in the park receive food at five discrete feeding locations, as well as shelter, and in return they work as part of the nightly maintenance crew, keeping the non-Mickey mice in check.
Since the cats are feral, they shy away from human contact which is why they mostly remain hidden during operating hours.
Some of the cats even have their own favorite areas, such as the one above who was spotted outside at Hungry Bear Restaurant, and another named Lucifer who reportedly spends his time between the Haunted Mansion and Town Square.

Look for a familiar face among the brides-to-be on Friday's 9 p.m. episode of TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress."
Kristin O'Lear-Collins, who lived in Macomb Township and attended Dakota High School, will be shown choosing her "simple, quiet dress" that she wore at her Aug. 11, 2012, wedding.
O'Lear-Collins actually first married United States Marine Corps Sgt. Sean Collins on Nov. 23, 2010, when they believed he was being sent overseas.
It was also when she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
O'Lear-Collins, 24, was given two years to live.
"We weren't ever sure we'd have that day," she said of their formal second wedding. It took place at St. Isidore Catholic Church in Macomb Township with a reception at Lakeland Manor in St. Clair Shores.
In 2010, when O'Lear-Collins returned stateside from studying in Germany for six months, "I hadn't been feeling well." For a while, she attributed the weight gain and breathing problems to the adjustment of returning home after living abroad. She was given various medical diagnoses ranging from a pulled diaphragm muscle to a viral infection, but her condition wasn't improving. It wasn't until an emergency room visit that fluid found in her lungs revealed cancer cells. "My right lung was completely collapsed," she said.
"There were a couple of days I stayed inside and cried," said O'Lear-Collins, the daughter of Edward and Jeanne O'Lear of Macomb Township. "They said two years and I'd be lucky if I lived longer."
She's a runner, not a smoker, and was told the cancer was part of a genetic mutation — "something I was born with."
Providing support through it all was Collins, 26, the son of Michael and Pamela Collins of Macomb Township. O'Lear-Collins met her future husband in the Dakota High School marching band. They are living in Florida now where he is assigned with the Marine Corps.
Tonight they'll gather with a few friends there to watch the "Say Yes to the Dress" episode in which she chooses her wedding gown.
It was while she was engaged "and I hadn't done anything about the wedding" that her mother "suggested I apply to 'Say Yes to the Dress.' " (On the show, brides from all over visit Kleinfeld's salon in New York to pick the gown they'll wear on their wedding day.)
"They called me about a week later and I went through a couple of interviews," said O'Lear-Collins. In 2011 she had her first filming experience and "I fell in love with a princess-style dress, with a sweetheart neckline. I knew that was the dress."
Her family agreed.
Viewers can watch how she came to pick her dress on tonight's show - "I didn't realize there were so many options."
O'Lear-Collins plans to leave her job in Florida soon "so I have more time to search for a job in my field of study — International Relations and German." Her illness did some vocal cord damage, but her hair has grown back and she's running again. She stopped chemotherapy in January and "I've been clear."
"Say Yes to the Dress" airs 9 p.m. Friday on TLC network.

Check out a HD video comparison between Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3.
Does this really matter to compare these two games? What is the point?
Even if you take away that they look very similar; they have many different aspects of each other - story, characters, weapons, levels and more.
So again I ask, why does this really matter?
Different story? Yeah, probably the only thing that really different.
honeslty it dosent look that good bf4 that is. Maybe its lack of art direstion or atmosphere killzone got down in spades.Maybe bf4 is just about 100 percent destruction nice but i cant wait to see how games without destruction will look.

Nurses provide skilled health care to patients in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted care homes, schools, day care centers, public health agencies or urgent care centers. Nurses must have a diversity of skills that include not only health care but health care management, counselor, advocate for the patient and at times, equipment technician.
A career in nursing starts with the desire to help people. A nursing candidate must have a caring nature, the ability to work under pressure, excellent problem solving skills and the physical endurance required to run at full tilt most of the time caring for patients or providing health information.
Most nursing positions require a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from an accredited school along with state licensing through a comprehensive exam, usually taken sometime after graduation.
Once educated and licensed the sky is the limit for a nurse with drive and ambition. Nurses can expect to find employment in traditional patient care in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted care facilities, school nurse, or urgent care centers.
However, the world of nursing goes beyond the walls of a hospital or doctors office. Nursing opportunities can be found in a variety of places and here are a few of the many.
Nurses may find employment with their local Board of Health and work to educate the public on health care issues that minimize health risks and promote a healthy life style with proper nutrition and exercise. They often focus on a particular segment of the population such as children or the elderly.
Complimentary Health Care Nursing is a growing field also called "alternative" health care. This is an alternative to traditional western medicines known as allopathic medicine. These alternative health care measures may include chiropractic massage, acupuncture, herbalism, nutrition and reflexology as a way of treating illness and disease. Many nurses practice these alternatives themselves or work in clinics with such practitioners. This type of health care is believed to be an up and coming field of nursing.
There are well over a million people incarcerated in prisons today and like all other parts of the population require medical care from time to time. It takes a special kind of person to become a nurse in a prison and work with those unfortunate to be in prison. Due to the population and the element involved it is not a traditional medical setting. Before considering taking on a nursing job in a prison setting, it is recommended to have a few years experience.
Perhaps your calling in the nursing field is to teach. You have gained valuable experience in the nursing field and want to pass that knowledge along to an up and coming crew of aspiring nurses. Usually a master's degree is required to teach. Teaching is an ideal way to combine your love of the profession and the satisfaction of helping to improve the profession. Lack of qualified nursing instructors is one of the reasons there is a shortage of nurses today. It is also another reason why nursing programs have waiting lists – there just aren't enough good teachers to go around. If you aspire to influence the profession of nursing, teaching could be for you.
An Occupational Health Care Nurse can usually be found in a factory or similar setting that employs a large number of people. Having a nurse on staff for a large population is more cost effective than sending an employee to a clinic or emergency room for non life threatening injuries or illness. An additional duty for these nurses might be to outline health and safety programs, wellness programs and holding seminars to promote work safety.
Alcohol and drug addiction are such wide spread problems in today s society a segment of medical care can be dedicated just to that field. A Substance abuse nurse works with individuals who are caught in the nightmare of substance abuse. Nurses may work in a detox clinic, a rehab clinic or counseling. A nurse who chooses this field of nursing is absolutely dedicated to helping folks escape the web of substance abuse and putting their life on the road to recovery and becoming a productive citizen. It can be very rewarding to see a success story unfold before your very eyes but equally as frustrating when that story relapses back to destructive ways.
Perhaps your niche is managing people. You have good management skills and enjoy working in the administrative part of nursing as an Administrative Nurse. Hospitals, as well as other care facilities, nurse staffing companies and health care providers often will employ a nursing administrator to coordinate and manage the nursing staff. A prerequisite for this job is clinical nursing experience, perhaps a master's degree and good management skills.
The world can always use more Visiting Nurse's and perhaps that is where you're calling lies. Visiting Nurses do just that; provide visitations to patients that require help with everyday tasks or patients that need short term help due to surgery or illness. Often the presence of a visiting nurse will enable the patient to stay in their own home rather than a hospital or other care facility.
There is a wide variety of nursing opportunities for those who want to work outside of a hospital setting. If you take just a moment to look around, you will find something that a little out of the ordinary that suits your character.

SCUBA diving fatality on "Kamloops"
Houghton, MI – On Saturday, July 13, a recreational SCUBA diver exploring the "Kamloops" shipwreck at Isle Royale National Park was fatally injured in a diving accident.
Lloyd W. Krohn, 55, of Wyoming, Minnesota, was diving in a party of three on a charter SCUBA trip to the park operated by Isle Royale Charters, Inc. At approximately 11:00 am EDT, soon after descending to their target depth, his two partners noticed that Krohn was experiencing an unknown difficulty.
They attempted to assist him but were forced to send him to the surface alone after he became unconscious. He was spotted by the boat crew and was brought aboard unresponsive and not breathing.
The victim was declared deceased on scene by ranger-EMT's. Rangers are currently working with the Keweenaw County Medical Examiner to determine a cause of death and to investigate the circumstances of the accident.
Park Superintendent Phyllis Green has temporarily closed the "Kamloops" to diving.
The "Kamloops" is considered an expert dive due to the depths involved; most of the wreck lies below 200 feet. It is located approximately 300 feet from the north shore of Isle Royale near Todd Harbor.
The ship, a 250 foot Canadian package freighter, wrecked in a severe storm in December, 1927. The location of the shipwreck was unknown until sport divers located the wreck in 1977.

Using Cameras and Firewire Drives
The libraries current camera and Firewire hard drives both connect to our Macs with a Firewire cable. Firewire cable can fry Firewire ports when hot-plugged (ie. plugging the cable in while the power is on.) In order to protect both the computer ports, the cables, and the devices, Firewires should be plugged in using the following methodology.

Yeah, Tuesday was a perfect day for a parade in downtown Houston.
And boy was I wrong about the City of Houston hosting one on this day.
Look, I'm not a Texans fan. I like a lot of the players, the coaches, the front office and the owner, so yeah it would be nice to see many of them enjoy a Super Bowl celebration. But I wasn't crushed that they lost at New England in the playoffs.
Don't get me wrong, I was upset. I was upset that they didn't finish with the best record in the AFC and I was upset that they had to play the Patriots in Foxboro.
I picked them to win it all, so of course I was upset. They made me look bad by crawling to the finish line of the NFL season.
But as one of my mentors taught me, it's not my fault when a team doesn't live up to its potential. Yeah, I'm still saying the Texans could have won the Super Bowl. Heck, not just could have won it, but should have won it.
They rolled the team that won the Super Bowl and partied like mad at a parade today by a score of 43-13, so of course the Texans were capable of beating the best in the NFL.
You know I'm right. Don't hate.
There are many reasons they didn't win it all. We've gone over all them too many times.
Were I the owner of the team my Texans would have won the Super Bowl. Yeah, I said it.
You would have been partying like crazy yesterday, and I would have been trying to convince the Chronicle sports editor that the best parade column would be from Three B's Grill in Kingwood, where The Omniscient King would have walked to the celebration where everyone would be treated to the "King Solomon" steak off the menu.
But the Texans messed that up.
Here are five things the Texans need to do to ensure a Super Bowl parade in the Bayou City a year from now.
1. When The King speaks, listen. You didn't get Peyton Manning like I told you too last offseason. How'd that work out for you? It cost me a parade party, damn it. You went against me and didn't keep DeMeco Ryans because you were too cheap and you figured you were OK with inside linebackers and team leaders. How'd that work out for you? You didn't keep Eric Winston because you thought you had enough team leaders and wanted to save a few bucks and figured you could get average play at right tackle for less money. How'd that work out for you? So, I repeat, you're close to being a Super Bowl team, so when The King speaks, listen.
2. Turn Matt Schaub loose. Hell no, Matt isn't an elite quarterback, no one except his agent has ever argued that, but he is much better than he showed down the stretch. If you don't trust him to audible, to take care of the ball on third-and-long and not to turn it over in the red zone, then why in the world did you give him a contract with a $29 million guarantee? I'm tired of hearing him say he didn't attack a defense in the red zone because the coverage it showed was the right one for the play that was called. Then check into a better one. Jeez. Rookie quarterbacks have more freedom at the line of scrimmage than Schaub. If Gary Kubiak wants to play quarterback and be the head coach, then he needs to put on the pads and tryout for the team. But if Schaub is the guy, and he is, then let him do his job.
3. Rework enough contracts to make it work, then spend well over the salary cap to sign a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver. It would be nice if one of the young wideouts stepped into that role, but unless one of them finds some magic cleats hanging on an electrical wire this offseason, that won't happen. And Kevin Walter simply isn't capable of getting the job done. I don't care how great your No. 1 receiver is, but when there is a 71 catch difference between the number of balls your top receiver caught and your second-best receiver caught, obviously your second-best receiver isn't very good. Go get a good one. Average would be better than what you've had at that position the last couple of years.
4. Draft the best player on the board, regardless of position. There are enough holes on the team that a late first-round draft pick could be an immediate contributor almost anywhere except running back, so don't get cute and over think it, let your scouting define the best player and take him.
5. Get a real backup quarterback. One that you believe is capable of taking the team to the Super Bowl when Schaub gets hurt. I know, I should have written "should Schaub get hurt," but the percentages say he will miss some games next year so be prepared for it. I'll tell you who some of those quarterbacks are a little later. It's too early for all that now. Just know that you need to get one. Your players know and you know that T.J. Yates isn't that guy. As likable as he is, there is a significant drop-off from Schaub to Yates. As is the case with your wide receivers, you need to close the gap between your No. 1 and No. 2 quarterback … just in case. I'm not worried about Schaub's feelings and you shouldn't be either. If having a better backup will bother him, then get him to the team psychologist.
Bonus: This isn't exactly outside-the box thought, but getting new special teams ideas is an important step too. And the next time a unit is underperforming to such a level, the Texans should consider making an in-season coaching change.

could you please install CSWgawk? I had a quick look at the Blastwave repo and found it there with this name.
I hope that's working.
Don't get me wrong, but IMHO I avoid blastwave when

to be installed, and that is not my intention.
I got gawk compiled from source right out of the box.
So I have one little installation instead of hundred
packages which I don't need (but blastwave)
The compilation now worked. It is to say that I have
applied the patch in "kernel/OS/SunOS/udi.c" before,
using "sys/usb/usbai.h" instead of "sys/usb/usba.h".
1. Install SUNWaudh package

# pkg install SUNWusbu
3. Download, compile and install gawk

4. Now ready to compile and package oss!

Just how badly St. Petersburg's Williams Park needs attention is clear from the arrest reports. A police sweep of the park last week resulted in 19 drug arrests for the sale and possession of cocaine, crack cocaine, methadone, morphine, hydromorphone, suboxone, heroin, oxycodone and marijuana. Supporters of reclaiming the park for law-abiding residents like open-air markets, but these are not the wares they have in mind.
The arrests followed a St. Petersburg Police Department undercover operation in which officers bought a literal illicit pharmacy of drugs. "They (the homeless) shouldn't feel comfortable breaking the law in a city park," Assistant Police Chief Dave DeKay said. But that is the problem. Some of the homeless descending on Williams Park are all too comfortable spending their days loitering, panhandling, drinking, fighting and dealing drugs. In the short run, the park cannot be reclaimed until the illegal activity is rooted out.
In the long term, though, regular police sweeps are not the answer to improving Williams Park. It is going to take a more comprehensive effort to address the issues facing the homeless to get them on their feet and out of the park without violating their constitutional rights. It is going to take moving the bus shelters adjacent to the park so it isn't walled off. And greater mental health and job counseling services should be a priority.
Pinellas County and St. Petersburg have made progress on homeless issues, including opening Safe Harbor. Williams Park reinforces how much more work there is to be done.

The latest upgrade of a Kroger supermarket in Memphis to be announced by the grocery giant's Delta Division will be the Whitehaven store at 1212 E. Shelby Drive.
The Kroger Delta Division is announcing a renovation of the Whitehaven store, 1212 E. Shelby Drive. It's the latest upgrade for Kroger stores in the Memphis area.
(Daily News File Photo: Lance Murphey)
The long-time fixture in the Whitehaven business community is the latest site of a renovation roll out by the Delta Division.
The division announced last year it intends to spend $50 million this year and another $50 million over the next three to five years to upgrade, renovate and even replace some stores in the Memphis area.
Delta Division, which operates 115 grocery stores and 70 fuel centers in five states, recently opened its renovated store at Poplar Avenue and Highland Street in the Poplar Plaza shopping center.
A first quarter 2014 renovation of the Kroger at Poplar Avenue and Cleveland Street in Crosstown will include a new pharmacy as part of $2 million in improvements.
The Union Avenue Kroger in Midtown will be rebuilt as a new store on an expanded parcel of real estate that has long been the site of a supermarket in the area from Seessel's to Schnucks and now Kroger.
Delta Division president Tim Brown and Memphis City Council member Harold Collins will be at the Whitehaven store for the Thursday, May 23, announcement.
Brown told members of the Memphis Rotary Club Tuesday that the Delta Division recently broke ground on a new Southaven store just across the state line.
"Recently we decided we need to break out of the pack," Brown told the group of 80 meeting at the University Club. "We have a huge plan to really revitalize our stores in Memphis."
Collins is emphasizing the renovation as Whitehaven's Main Street – Elvis Presley Boulevard – is getting a multi-year facelift of its own starting at Elvis Presley and Brooks Road and going south to Shelby Drive.
With the renovation have come other signs of new commercial growth including a satellite campus of Southwest Tennessee Community College and a new Holiday Inn.

Kennedy Grateful for Shot at Top-6by Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh Penguins
One of the most intriguing storylines heading into Penguins training camp is who will play with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal.
Chris Kunitz, who played last season with Malkin and Neal, will be reunited on a line with Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis, thus leaving an opening on Malkin and Neal's right wing.

"There will be some wiggle room with the other player in the top six," head coach Dan Bylsma said. "I can see several players fitting into that line with Malkin and Neal depending on the situation, the game, whether we're up in a game or not. But that's really the initial thoughts and that's what you'll see when we start Day 1."
One possibility would be forward Tyler Kennedy, who is a right wing and has filled a top-6 role over the past two seasons due to various injuries. And Kennedy would love an opportunity to skate with the talents of Malkin and Neal.
"It would be a great opportunity. It seems like they're going to give me a chance," he said after Tuesday's informal practice. "I want to do the best I can."
Kennedy enjoyed a career year in 2010-11 while filling in on the top two lines, posting career highs across the board with 21 goals, 24 assists, 45 points and seven power-play goals.
"I'm going to come in and compete how I would even if there wasn't a spot there," he added. "Wherever I play I'm happy. I'm just glad to be back playing hockey."
Kennedy took advantage of the work stoppage to spend time with his family.
"I had a really good summer. It was pretty long, but it was good," he said. "I had some quality time with my family and got to do some things I've never done in the fall. It was good. I'm glad to be back. I'm glad to get back on the ice with the guys."
Kennedy, who has been training in Pittsburgh and his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, also used the extra time off to heal and improve his strength and conditioning.
"You have to take the positives. There was time to rest the body," Kennedy said. "I feel pretty good. A good training camp and I'll be ready to rock."

Apple ramps up share of US retail PC sales takings
Kerching! - for the moment
Apple accounted for just under half - 48 per cent - of all the money spent on desktop computers in US retailers during October 2009, market watcher NPD has revealed.
That figure is a gain on the 33 per cent of revenue Apple took in October 2008.
It's not all good news for the company: revenues from Apple laptops dropped from 38 per cent to 34 per cent, year on year, according to NPD numbers quoted by Betanews. Windows 7's launch undoubtedly fuelled new laptop purchases.
The desktop market isn't as big as the mobile one and it's getting smaller all the time, so the success in the laptop arena is more important to Apple than winning in the desktop space. But NPD's numbers do highlight the manufacturer's ability to get punters to pay for relatively pricey computers, indicating the Apple's pricing strategy is a success.
NPD's figures for average US desktop selling prices put Windows machines at $491 and Apple's on $1338 - more than two-and-a-half times as much. Both have fallen since October 2008, when they were $556 and $1581, respectively.
For notebooks, the figures are $519 (Windows) and $1410 (Apple), down from $659 and $1575 a year ago.
Now, this doesn't mean Apple's machines are more expensive than PC makers' offerings - this is an average price across the broad range of price points that vendors target. Apple is one vendor making two desktops. There are many, many more PC vendors, with much more kit aimed at the low end, a segment of the market Apple doesn't operate in, and that inevitably skews the average well out of the Mac maker's favour.
Crucially, NPD's numbers show that, despite the availability of much cheaper PCs and the recession, US punters clearly perceive a benefit to paying a high price for a desktop machine and to handing over the money to Apple rather than HP, Dell or any other others. Yes, PC vendors took 52 per cent of desktop sales revenue, but they had to share it out amongst themselves. Apple gets to keep all of its 48 per cent.
Revenue share is one thing, unit share quite another, and shipment figures from any market research company you care to name shows Apple's rivals shifting way more boxes than it does, many of them into big business which Apple will always struggle to sell to. But Apple has the ability to turn lower unit sales into higher dollar value.
That's one reason why Apple shares are trading for four times the price of HP stock. There are more HP shares out there, of course, so let's look at the market capitalisation: $118.7bn for HP, $183.9bn for Apple
Betanews notes that NPD senior analyst Stephen Baker believes Apple's desktop revenue share gain is unsustainable, and it's not hard to see Apple's revenue share falling back to the 33 per cent it took on October 2008.
But a third of sales dollars going to one company is an achievement in itself. Say what you like about Jobs and Co., and their product, you can't deny they know how to sell computers to consumers. And they're doing so very nicely, thank you. ®

The SQL MERGE statement was introduced in SQL Server 2008 and allows you to modify data in a target table based on data in a source table in one easy statement, replacing lots of messy code. I use it frequently when building a data warehouse.
In short, the statement joins the target to the source by using a column common to both tables, such as a primary key. You can then insert, modify, or delete data from the target table—all in one statement—according to how the rows match up as a result of the join.
I highly recommend becoming familiar with the MERGE statement as you will find yourself using it frequently.
Here is an example use of the MERGE statement:
MERGE [MD-Cache].[GRD].[TblContinent] AS target USING (SELECT SlbMasterData_PK, Name, SourceID, ContinentCode, GRDStatus, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate FROM [MDS2012].[mdm].[vGRD_TblContinent]) AS source (SlbMasterData_PK, Name, SourceID, ContinentCode, GRDStatus, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate) ON (target.SlbMasterData_PK = source.SlbMasterData_PK) --record is in source as well as target, only update in target if a field has changed or status in target is "DEPRECATED" WHEN MATCHED AND (target.Name <> source.Name OR target.SourceID <> source.SourceID OR target.Code <> source.ContinentCode OR target.GRDStatus <> source.GRDStatus OR target.ModifiedBy <> source.ModifiedBy OR target.ModifiedDate <> source.ModifiedDate OR target.MasterDataStatus_FK = 'DEPRECATED') THEN UPDATE SET target.Name = source.Name, target.SourceID = source.SourceID, target.Code = source.ContinentCode, target.GRDStatus = source.GRDStatus, target.ModifiedBy = source.ModifiedBy, target.ModifiedDate = source.ModifiedDate, target.MasterDataStatus_FK='ACTIVE' --record is in source but not target, so insert into target WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN INSERT (Name, SourceID, Code, SlbMasterData_PK, MasterDataStatus_FK, GRDStatus, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate) VALUES (source.Name, source.SourceID, source.ContinentCode, source.SlbMasterData_PK, 'ACTIVE', 'APPROVED', 'Org-by', getdate()) --record has been deleted from source...don't delete it in target but rather mark the status in target as "DEPRECATED" (if it is not already) WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE AND (target.MasterDataStatus_FK <> 'DEPRECATED') THEN UPDATE set target.MasterDataStatus_FK = 'DEPRECATED' --display results of MERGE OUTPUT $action, Deleted.SlbMasterData_PK, Inserted.SlbMasterData_PK, Deleted.SourceID, Inserted.SourceID, Deleted.Code, Inserted.Code, Deleted.GRDStatus, Inserted.GRDStatus, Deleted.MasterDataStatus_FK, Inserted.MasterDataStatus_FK, Deleted.ModifiedDate, Inserted.ModifiedDate, Deleted.ModifiedBy, Inserted.ModifiedBy; ;

This is a red/black Scott Scale frame from 2008. One of the lightest MTB frames you can buy! This is a Medium frame and weighs approximately 1 kg.
This is made from the Scott HMF fibre, has an integrated headset (I will supply a Hope headset, Hope seatclamp, Woodman carbon fibre post and XTR E-Type mech for extra if required), and is super quick. I have happily raced on this for two yerars, but am now selling in order to fund a new ti 650b bike - £250.
Got a 2008 Rockshox REBA World Cup for sale. These are the ones that have a carbon crown and carbon steerer tube. Very very light! I have recently serviced these and replaced seals and foam rings. They are in excellent condition with just some slight discolouration of the lower legs.
An absolute bargain considering these cost £600 brand new. I will include a Poplock remote lockout with these as well and post for £25 in the UK - £200.

Telemark Has a New Owner
- Written by Bob Gabrielson
- Published in News
(10/16/13) One of Wisconsin's most famous -- and troubled -- ski resorts has a new owner. The Telemark Lodge near Cable was bought by Newco L-L-C of Colorado during a sheriff's auction yesterday in Bayfield County.
The firm paid 926-thousand dollars. Telemark went into bankruptcy, and was abandoned by its former owners last month. It's the third time in 29 years that the property has been through the foreclosure process. The lodge itself has been closed since March. It was not immediately known what Newco had in mind for Telemark -- or if they'll get it ready for the upcoming ski season. Telemark was among the first alpine ski areas in the U-S. Emeril Lagasse was the executive chef there for four years in the late 1970's. These days, Telemark is best known as part of the route for the American Birkebeiner (birk-by-ner) cross country ski race.

/path/ is the root folder of the DVD, not the VIDEO_TS folder.
This will print out the third column of every line in FILE. Useful for many files in /proc or *csv data. Show Sample Output
Often, the very next command after the cd command is 'ls', so why not combine them?. Tested on a Red Hat derivative and Mac OS X Leopard Update: changed ${1:-$HOME} to "${@:-$HOME}" to accomodate directories with spaces in the names
Useful if you want get all the md5sum of files but you want exclude some directories. If your list of files is short you can make in one command as follow:
find . -type d \( -name DIR1 -o -name DIR2 \) -prune -o -type f -exec md5sum {} \;
Alternatively you can specify a different command to be executed on the resulting files.
Report fstat(2) and fcntl(2) information for all open files in each process.
This example summarize size of all pdf files in /tmp directory and its subdirectories (in bytes).
Replace "/tmp" with directory path of your choice and "\*pdf" or even "-iname \*pdf" with your own pattern to match specific type of files. You can replace also parameter for du to count kilo or megabytes, but because of du rounding the sum will not be correct (especially with lot of small files and megabytes counting).
In some cases you could probably use sth like this:
du -cb `find /tmp -type f -iname \*pdf`|tail -n 1
But be aware that this second command CANNOT count files with spaces in their names and it will cheat you, if there are some files matching the pattern that you don't have rights to read. The first oneliner is resistant to such problems (it will not count sizes of files which you cant read but will give you correct sum of rest of them).
Show Sample Output
grep 'HOME.*' data.txt | awk '{print $2}' | awk '{FS="/"}{print $NF}' OR awk '/HOME/ {print $2}' data.txt | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}' In this example, we are having a text file that is having several entries like: --- c1 c2 c3 c4 this is some data HOME /dir1/dir2/.../dirN/somefile1.xml HOME /dir1/dir2/somefile2.xml some more data --- for lines starting with HOME, we are extracting the second field that is a 'file path with file name', and from that we need to get the filename only and ignore the slash delimited path. The output would be: somefile1.xml somefile2.xml (In case you give a -ive - pls give the reasons as well and enlighten the souls :-) )
You need to install imagemagick. On Debian type: # apt-get install imagemagick
exclude-dir option requires grep 2.5.3
The ssh command alone will execute the sudo command remotely, but the password will be visible in the terminal as you type it. The two stty commands disable the terminal from echoing the password back to you, which makes the remote sudo act as it does locally.
I use this to generate a playlist with all the podcasts I listen to. Ordered from most recent to older. Show Sample Output
The pipe to head removes the listing of . as the largest directory.
Useful for cron jobs -- all output will be logged but only errors will cause email to be sent. NB the order of "2>&1" and ">> logfile" is important, it doesn't work if you reverse them (everything goes to the logfile, nothing left for tee).
You can use this command to delete CVS/svn folders on given project.
