The Digital Universe Is In A Fascinating State Of Fluid Growth, So Much So That What's True Today Could Easily Expand To Another Yottabyte Before The Next Generation Of Children Are All Grown Up.
The 7th EMC Digital Universe study presented this fluid growth in its MENA results in September (Global results were announced in May) and the singular, most important fact to emerge from this study was that the Digital Universe growth is exponential and that it cannot be stopped. In the MENA region alone, it will grow from 249 Exabytes in 2014, to 1835 Exabytes by 2020. You can't imagine how substantial? Let me put that into perspective, the Palm Jumeirah Island in Dubai has a coastal length of about 520 kilometres, today the data were are generating would fit into iPads covering almost 16 times the length of the Palm. By 2020 the data we generate will be enough to cover 220 times the length of Palm Jumeirah Island. This is not just a mathematical increase of over 600% but an insight into how human behaviour is changing the shape of the world and giving the Digital Universe a very human face.
What are the Areas of Growth in the MENA Region?
We've found that the main growth drivers can be split into three categories:
- Firstly we have the rising mobility and the BYOD culture in companies and businesses across major MENA cities
- Secondly we are seeing a massive growth in video surveillance within major consumer industries like hospitality, aviation, financial services, and oil and gas
- Thirdly, and this is one I'm personally looking forward to seeing realized is the rise of Smart City initiatives in the region along with increased online activity as well as mobile and social media
Some Compelling Statistics
While global results predict that by 2020 the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and Mexico will produce the majority data of about 60%, the surge of data in the MENA region will grow from the current 3.8% to 4.2% in 2020. What we know as the 'Internet of Things' will be the lead engine propelling the expansion of the Digital Universe, in the MENA region. One of the prominent highlights of the study showed that 70% of the digital universe is created by people like you and me but it is companies who are responsible for the security, privacy and compliance of 85% of the Digital Universe.
Managing Data
In the MENA region we have nearly 200 billion devices are Internet-ready and 14 billion devices are already online, representing 3.8% of global data! By 2020, it is expected that the number of devices communicating through the Internet will reach a massive 32 billion. With data far outpacing storage, current storage capacity holds just 33% of the digital universe and I see this problem getting bigger as we move forward. For example by 2020 storage will only be able to store less than 15% of the Digital Universe with a lot of potentially useful data being wasted and very little of it analysed. But while the vastness of the Digital Universe presents a problem for analysis, in truth, only high-value data is most beneficial
What Do These Statistics Really Mean?
The simple answer is all this is going to impact the way we live. The world lives by data today. The simplest example is when a baby is born the data generated on the first day of a baby's life is equivalent to 70 times the data in the Library of Congress.
Humanizing Data
Data is no longer just a bunch of statistics studied by data analysts in isolation, but a real snapshot of every life lived on the planet, through every tweet, update or photograph shared. Additionally the advocates of data transparency have brought about social and political change on mass scales across the world, through basic communication like Twitter and Facebook. Whether it is health services, education, politics or social change, this study proves that in the end, everyone is connected as a single unit by the data we share with each other. The creation of knowledge is no longer in the hands of institutions, but in each of us as we design our own Knowledge Universe, in a way that benefits us.
Business Opportunity
At an everyday business level, we can see that analyzingBig Data to extract value from the Digital Universe will help in significant ways such as:
- Creating new business models, with new revenue streams and quicker customer response systems
- Providing real-time information for critical services
- Monetizing new services and building new revenue streams for traditional businesses
- Allowing global and seamless visibility, for transparency and understanding of businesses, no matter how remote
- Improving efficient, intelligent operation and better sales and logistics decisions
- Improving the human experience
- Saving lives by enhancing all sorts of healthcare services
Meeting the Growth Challenge
As data growth is rapid, EMC recommends that organizations in the MENA region should take the following 3 steps:
- Have a central governance policy over the storage and use of data
- Deploy next generation software defined solutions for optimal data management, avoiding data deluge
- Redefine skills and expertise to upgrade the workforce
The Digital Universe study underlines the fact that Big Data is here to stay, and it is transforming everything, from the weather to a single human life in the remotest corner of the world. I believe that staying on top of expanding Digital Universe and all the useful data within it will reap huge benefits for individuals and organizations alike.

I can't even think of the last time or if I have ever been "tubing". I thought I would be essentially floating in a huge inter-tube, not the cadillac chair I was given, it was awesome! In Symco we got in right at the Symco Bridge across from Boondocks Bar, and floated the few miles to Fahser's bridge. It is quite a thing to figure out how your going to carry and on what tubes, because as in many activities, it is all about the drink and the nosh. Floating along the river, we stopped at a few sandy places along the way to keep up our strength with the occasional snack, and be able to visit with one another, and joke and talk smart. We were passed by a group of people who clearly were enjoying the river and the beautiful day as much as we were. The weather was perfect and so was the company, it was a great time. Thank you to Ann, Diana, Carrie, Gina, Kimberly and Stephanie for making it a great day and a lot of fun. So at the end of the journey is Fahser's bridge, which it seemed like a good idea to jump off the bridge so that is just what Ann and I did.
What a great day! There is so much to do and see right here in Waupaca County, don't miss it!

NOTE TIME CHANGE! NOW at 2:00
Who: librarian.net's rarin' librarian Jessamyn West
When: Monday March 21 2:00 (Vernal Equinox)
Where: Freedom Forum Conference Center, 3rd floor, Carroll Hall
What: Postcards from the Other Edge of the Digital Divide. Political Choices and the Information Poor
About the talk: While we read blogs, tag content and swap lifehacks, people in rural areas are still learning to type. Public libraries are making many more technological choices just to provide basic information and Internet resources nowadays, yet the paradigm for learning to work well with technology differs dramatically from learning to work well with books. Jessamyn West will be talking about being a tech-savvy librarian in a profession struggling into the 21st Century.
More about Jessamyn West: Jessamyn West is wrapping up her job as an outreach librarian at a rural public library in Vermont. She has worked in public, special and college libraries and done stints of on-the-fly reference at Burning Man, the WTO and the Democratic National Convention. She has maintained librarian.net, a weblog for radical librarians and other interested parties, since 1999. She is fascinated by the intersection of technology, the public sphere and politics.

Got a iPhone photo
No number to get her name. That's even more rebellious. Was she even registered or just showed up to kick ass?
then she worked the crowd each time on the stairs-to-log run up
The run up crowd loved her

If you're not a little soggy already, you must have heard by now about the deluge of rain that has been soaking New England for the past week, producing the some of the worst flooding the region has seen in 70 years. I just can't help wondering how things might be improved if green roofs played a more dominant role in conventional building practices. Instead of acres of non-porous asphalt, concrete and other materials funneling stormwaters straight into overburdened drainages, we might have thousands of green rooftop oases to drink up the downpour!
I am, of course, not alone in my fantasy. I found plenty of likeminded folks, from across design, policy, and building trades, in attendance at the Greening Rooftops for Sustainable Communities Conference, Awards and Trade Show here in Boston last week. Only in its fourth year the annual conference, which is organized by the non-profit industry association Green Roofs For Healthy Cities, is contributing hugely to the professionalization of the green roof industry and makes a clear and exciting example of just how rapidly the field is growing.
Here's a few highlights, observations, and links for those of you who were unable to attend:
I attended some great presentations on current design and public policy, yet unquesionably, the highlight of my conference experience was the Keynote Address given by John Todd, PhD. Dr. Todd is an internationally recognized biologist and visionary pioneer in the field of ecological design for waste treatement and water management. His "Eco Machines" are inspiring models for resource management and recycling economics. For instance he has created sewage treatment plants, using only natural ecologies, which not only generate clean water but also employ the nutrient value of the organic wastes to raise saleable plants and ornamental fish.
Based just on my observations at the Trade Show, I'd say modular green roofing systems could be the next big thing. We already know how prefab architecture can provide affordable, sustainable living, so it makes sense that pre fabricated modular green roofs could do the same. We profiled Green Grid on Inhabitat just last month and I saw several other companies offering similar modular products for both green roofs and living wall/vertical gardens. Including:
ELT Easy Green – Modular green roof and living walls, also featuring a database of funding resources for building your own green roof!
Green Roof Blocks
Secalflor (if you read German)
In spite of my usual suspicions concerning our present administration, I was pleased to learnthat at least one branch of our Federal Government is taking progressive steps toward a sustainable future. The General Services Administration (GSA), which runs the Public Building Service (the entity that constructs and maintains all government buildings), instituted a sustainable design program, under building standard "P100", in 2003 which requires all new and fully renovated federal buildings achieve LEED accreditation, preferably at the Silver level! The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's new building in Maryland (below) features a 146,000 sq ft green roof.
Several area universities have plans to go green as well. The Boston Architectural Center, Harvard Graduate School of Design, and architecture department at Massachusetts College of Art all have plans to install student designed/built green roofs on their properties. Both Harvard and MassArt are experimenting with new methods for ultra low cost installations. Harvard is seeding several test plots with hardy sedum cuttings expected to take root over a few years, while MassArt is looking at using recycled milk crates as an inexpensive modular unit in which to plant native species.

Back in June, a job posting by Electronic Arts indicated BioWare Montreal was looking to hire a multiplayer programmer for the Mass Effect franchise. Since then, fans have assumed a multiplayer mode would be included in Mass Effect 3. Not so fast, says BioWare.
"Now that BioWare has officially announced Mass Effect 3 with their press release yesterday, I'm going back to my age-old thread closer here: Mass Effect 3 is a single-player game." BioWare Forum moderator Pacifien wrote.
While the post would appear to be a confirmation that multiplayer will not be included in ME3, it's not explicitly stated. And even if it was, BioWare has thrown curveballs at fans in the past, most notably when the company denied it was making a PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect 2.
In early February, one gamer discovered a fragment of Mass Effect 2 source code that referenced the PlayStation 3, an item that immediately became "irrefutable evidence" for fans hoping for a PS3 version of the game. BioWare, however, was quick to respond:
"The Unreal Engine is cross platform, hence the PS3 code," BioWare's community coordinator Chris Priestly chimed in on the ME2 forum. "This was brought up back in Mass Effect 1 days as well. Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360. LOCKDOWN!"
We all know how that turned out.
Mass Effect 3 is being developed for a simultaneous holiday 2011 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs.
Sharkey says: EA is hellbent on getting online play into all of its games, so I'd be shocked if Mass Effect 3 didn't include a multiplayer mode, or at the very least, a co-op mode. And that job posting for a multiplayer programmer can't be swept under the rug. For the sake of argument, let's say there will be a multiplayer mode in Mass Effect 3. Is it something you'd want to play?

Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iPhone OS 3.0
Click Below to Read the Rest of This Article:
Announced on March 17th, then promised for worldwide release on June 17, Apple's iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade was officially released for public consumption earlier today. The third major release of the iPhone OS brings a number of features that many will likely feel have been too long in coming to the iPhone platform; however, this latest release succeeds in making the iPhone OS feel more grown up and ready to face a wider audience.
Downloading and Installing
As with all previous iPhone and iPod touch updates, the iPhone OS 3.0 is downloaded and installed via iTunes. Note that you must be running iTunes 8.2 to receive the update, which is a free and automatic download for all iPhone models. For iPod touch users, this is a more optional update that must be purchased from the iTunes Store for $10.
Other than the purchase requirement for iPod touch users, the download and installation process is relatively transparent. Simply use the "Check for Updates" option found on the iPhone Summary page in iTunes 8.2 and it should locate, download and install the 3.0 update automatically. In some cases, iTunes may already indicate that an update is available, in which case you will simply see an "Update" button instead of a "Check for Updates" button.
Note that the installation may or may not result in the wiping of your device's existing media, contacts, and other data; it should not happen, but can under certain conditions. In addition to the backups that iTunes normally keeps, an additional backup of your device will automatically be made prior to applying the update. This is simply as a precaution, as the update process does not normally remove any data from your device, but simply applies the update over the previous iPhone OS version. In the event that the device is completely wiped clean, using the backup and re-synchronizing your media will take some time, but fully restore your device to its prior contents.
iPhone vs iPod touch
With the iPhone OS 3.0 release, Apple has brought the iPhone and iPod touch back to feature parity in terms of software. In November, Apple added iPhone-only enhancements to the Maps application such as Google Street View and transit directions. iPhone 3.0 now brings these features to the iPod touch as well.
There are still obvious hardware differences between the iPhone and iPod touch of course, and iPhone 3.0 features will differ slightly on each platform due to these hardware differences, however the software-only features between the iPhone and iPod touch appear to have come back into line with the iPhone 3.0 release.
General and System-Wide Changes
The most significant changes in iPhone 3.0 are not specific to any one particular app, but rather focus on changes to the operating system and UI as a whole. Some of these are relatively minor, while others are very significant.
Home Screen
While many were expecting a significantly revamped home screen layout in iPhone 3.0 with better application organization, the changes to the home screen are minimal and almost entirely cosmetic in nature. The default home screen layout remains essentially the same other than a slight reorganization in the third and fourth rows to accommodate the new Voice Memos app, which can of course still be user-customized in the same way as before—users updating their devices will have their existing app layout preserved with the Voice Memos app appearing in the first open icon slot.
Other cosmetic changes to the home screen include the renaming of the Text app to "Messages," along with a new icon to reflect 3.0's new support for Multimedia Messaging (MMS); there's also an updated design for the Stocks icon with sharper peaks and no calendar months at the bottom of the icon. The iPod and Phone icons also receive minor cosmetic diagonal line background tweaks to bring their designs more in-line with the new Messages icon, for whatever reason.
The Home screen now also supports a total of eleven pages of apps, up from the previous nine-page limit. This brings the total number of apps that can be usably installed on the iPhone up to 180 versus the previous limit of 148.
A small magnifying glass now appears to the left of the white and gray page indicator dots above the dock, and swiping to the left of the first Home screen page will now take you to the Spotlight Search screen. Further, pressing the home button from the first home screen page of icons will also take you to the Spotlight Search screen, and pressing it again from there returns you back to the first page of icons.
Spotlight Search
iPhone 3.0 now includes the ability to search for content within certain apps on the iPhone, either from within the specific apps themselves or globally from the Spotlight Search screen found on the left-most home screen.
Prior versions of the iPhone OS provided a search bar within the Contacts app, and in iPhone 3.0 similar search bars have now also been added to the Mail, Calendar, Notes, and iPod applications. As with the Contact search, entering text into the search bar in these apps will search the content within that particular app. Most apps open with this search bar hidden - you will need to scroll up to see it, and some apps only show the search bar in certain views—List view in the Calendar app, for example.
The Mail app adds one additional interesting search-related feature. When you first enter text into the search bar, a list of buttons appears immediately below the search bar to allow you to further refine your search to certain mail-specific fields such as from, to and subject. Mail also provides the ability to extend your search beyond the messages stored on your device and onto your Mail server via IMAP.
It's worth noting that Apple promoted this as a feature of MobileMe, but the Mail search itself works with any IMAP-based e-mail account and not just MobileMe accounts. There is a downside, however: the search only includes message headers; a full-text search of message content is not performed, either locally on your device or on the server.
The Spotlight Search feature from the main Home screen simply allows you to perform a search through all of your searchable applications at once. Entering any text into the Spotlight Search screen will present a list of results across all of your searchable applications, organized by app and identified by each application's icon. Tapping on a result will open that specific application and bring you to the selected search result.
You can choose which search results are included in the main Spotlight Search and which order they are displayed in from your device's Settings, under General, Home, Search Results. Simply tap each category to enable or disable, or drag them up and down the list to reorder how they're presented to you in the Spotlight Search results.
Widescreen Mode and Landscape Keyboard Support
With iPhone OS 3.0, Apple has finally brought a long-requested feature to built-in apps in the form of landscape orientation viewing and the wider landscape keyboard. Among the built-in apps, the landscape keyboard was previously only available in the Safari browser. With iPhone OS 3.0, this has now been expanded to include the new Messages application, Mail, Notes and Contacts. Landscape viewing in any form remains conspicuously missing from the built-in Calendar application. It should also be noted that landscape viewing of Contacts is only available in the separate "Contacts" application—the contacts section in the Phone application remains in portrait view only.
iPhone 3.0 also adds a new widescreen view to the built-in Stocks application. Turning your device while viewing the Stocks app will present a detailed widescreen stock chart view, and you can switch between stock charts by swiping left and right in the same way as you would for Photos.
Note that as with previous iPhone versions, third-party apps must still be specifically designed for landscape viewing and keyboard support. There's nothing magical that the new iPhone OS does to automatically allow landscape viewing and keyboard for any other apps—Apple has simply chosen to update a few of their own core apps to provide a landscape orientation mode.
Editing Enhancements: Cut, Copy and Paste and More
For serious smartphone users, the ability to copy and paste text was quite possibly the single most glaring omission in the iPhone OS over the past two years. iPhone OS 3.0 finally brings this feature to the table, and implements it in a very polished manner.
First, as one would expect, the iPhone OS 3.0 cut/copy/paste features are not app-specific, but rather work system-wide across any application that supports text editing and entry fields. This means that there is no extra support required by third-party developers or applications to take advantage of this, and even apps that were released for iPhone OS 2.0 last summer can still benefit from the iPhone OS 3.0's new text editing capabilities, provided they're using standard text editing controls.
To start selecting text in any app, simply hold down your finger where you want your text selection to begin, in a manner similar to that used to move the insertion point in previous iPhone OS versions. A pop-up menu will appear with options to begin selecting text, select all displayed text, or paste in any content that is already on your clipboard.
After tapping select or select all, two blue dots will appear around your selection which you can then manipulate to highlight the text that you would like to cut or copy. The pop-up menu will also change to provide options to cut the selected text, copy the selected text, or paste the content of the clipboard over the selected text.
Note that you can also double-tap to select an entire word and can use the keyboard delete key or start typing to replace any selected text without cutting it to the clipboard.
The text selection and cut/copy/paste capabilities are not limited to plain text, either. The iPhone OS also handles selection of rich text and graphics from within applications such as Safari, which can be copied to the clipboard and then pasted into a rich-text field somewhere else, such as into a new message in the Mail or Messages applications.
Of course, the new selection features make it too easy to accidentally banish entire chunks of text from your screen, so iPhone 3.0 also has another new hidden text-editing trick up its sleeve: undo. Simply give your iPhone or iPod touch a shake while editing in any text field, and you'll be offered the opportunity to undo your changes, whether you've simply deleted a few characters or an entire paragraph.
Shaking the device a second time after an undo will offer a chance to undo the next-previous action, or redo the undone action. Several levels of undo/redo are supported.
In-Line Links
With the new copy and paste capabilities of iPhone OS 3.0, in-line links to information such as phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and URLs now gain additional options. While tapping on a link will behave the same as it did previously, you can now tap-and-hold on a linked item to bring up a pop-up menu of additional options for things you can do with that information. For example, tapping on a phone number or e-mail address will give you options to call the number, send a text message, or use it for a new or existing contact. Tapping on a URL will offer options to open the URL or copy it to the clipboard.

"There is a downside, however: the search only includes message headers; a full-text search of message content is not performed, either locally on your device or on the server. "
Other reviews (such as on Ars) have specifically shown that it did include emails with the results in the body (when choosing the "All" search in email.
So what's the deal; does it search message bodies or not? Just from the screenshots on the Ars review alone it seems clear it did, as it included search results where the search term was not in the headers.

Great guide! I found something I thought I would share: when trying to select 6 pictures or more on my iPod disabled the email button; this may be to keep the size down or something. However, you can always just select as many as you want and copy and paste them into a new email.
Posted by mikeman118 in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 3:20 PM (CDT)
#1: It definitely does not search full message content, either locally or on the server. This is easily tested just by pulling up an e-mail, picking an obscure word that wouldn't otherwise appear and then searching on that word.
Bear in mind that just because a word doesn't visibly appear in the search results listing doesn't mean that it may not form part of the header that isn't displayed. The message list doesn't necessarily display full subject lines, for instance.

Nice guide. Very clear.
I have not upgraded to 3.0 (maybe tomorrow if I have the time) but I have been noticing the sliding blue location dot in Maps for awhile now (when outside). If I open maps in the house, I get the location compass and five red dots spread out around the city. I assume because I cannot be pinpointed.
I was hoping for an audible click when tapping the stopwatch on. Alas. If that's all I will have to complain about, then Apple has done well.

When 3.0 was released to developers there were rumors that it would enable Bluetooth via the Nike+ chip in the 2nd gen iPod touch. This was to allow stereo Bluetooth headphones like the iPhone now supports. Is this actually the case?
Posted by Neil in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 5:11 PM (CDT)
#4: The blue location dot has been appearing in Maps on the iPhone since the 3G added GPS capabilities. However, prior to v3.0, it only appeared *after* GPS coordinates were obtained. With 3.0 it appears immediately on both the iPhone and iPod touch.
#5: Yes, as noted above in the section on Bluetooth Enhancements, the 2G iPod touch now gets full Bluetooth support that is basically on-par with the iPhone. The only difference between the iPhone and iPod touch 2G Bluetooth is support for hands-free headsets, since this is a phone-specific feature. Note that the original iPod touch does not contain any Bluetooth hardware.

Can't seem to copy a phone number in the Contacts without dialing it. Could go into Edit and grab it fine. Click and hold as described above doesn't seem to work in this context.

I don't know why the email search doesn't seem to work for you guys..
I just took a very specific text "XXPDK" from an email where it appeared towards the very bottom of the message.
Search found it in both the Mail app search under ALL, and the spotlight search on the home page.
Maybe your phone hasn't finished indexing yet…
Full Mail search DOES work
Posted by Brian in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 8:08 PM (CDT)
I just did a similar test and searching the body of emails does NOT appear to work. I'm on an original first-gen iPhone (two more days till I get my 3G-S).

I think I've already found a bug. For whatever reason, my playlists on my iPhone are not sorting correctly. Typically I sort all playlists by album; this is carried over to the iPhone. However, when I check my playlist on the iPhone, it's all out of order - I have no idea what criteria Apple is actually using. In iTunes for both the editable playlist and the playlist on the iPhone as seen by iTunes, the sort order is as expected. Looks like the testers didn't test thoroughly enough.
Plus, is anyone else getting the "Updating library" graphic on their iPhone when accessing the iPod app right after syncing?
Posted by Jay in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 9:15 PM (CDT)
Thanks for the info Jesse! Great read while waiting for the download of OS3.0 to finish. Definitely making me salivate all that much more!
Posted by Michel Savoie in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 9:30 PM (CDT)
So I installed 3.0 on my Ipod Touch 2G and everything went great. The only thing that I noticed that now holding down the home button to close Safari, or mail or music no longer works. I used to do this all the time to free up memory. I anyone else experiencing this. Is there some reason that this no longer works? It's not the end of the world. I'm just curious why Apple would turn this off.
Posted by Tyler Laird in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 11:20 PM (CDT)
Bacause holding down the Home key triggers Voice Control on the 3GS, so Apple removed this from the 3G and 2G.
Posted by Idomilliomos in Toronto on June 17, 2009 at 11:39 PM (CDT)
On the subject on full mail search, I'm guessing that Spotlight indexes at intervals and hence that is a disparity in findings.
Posted by Young in Toronto on June 18, 2009 at 12:10 AM (CDT)
The Mailsearch does Fulltext since the early betas - it just has to index first.
Anyone noticed the Messages.app bug:
Compose a new SMS, add another recipient = title changes to "group-SMS" (only if you have mms configured on your device) - quite costly to send an mms, compared to sending multiple SMS, where you have free quotas in most contracts.
Posted by Josh in Toronto on June 18, 2009 at 12:52 AM (CDT)
I am having the same two problems as Jay. The orders of songs in my smart playlists do not transfer—no matter how I sort them in iTunes, the order on my iPhone stays the same. Also, the "Updating Library…" message appears every time (for a couple minutes) every time I open the iPod app after syncing.
Posted by Mike in Toronto on June 18, 2009 at 2:11 AM (CDT)
@12: Hold down the power key until you get the "slide to power off" message. Then instead of sliding, hold down the Home key for 6 seconds. This will force quit the open app.
#13 I believe is correct as to why this has changed. Sure your old phone doesn't do voice control, but I'm sure Apple wants to keep the mechanism uniform across all devices with the new OS.
Posted by Dyvim in Toronto on June 18, 2009 at 10:04 AM (CDT)
@Tyler Laird
"The only thing that I noticed that now holding down the home button to close Safari, or mail or music no longer works…"
It's still working this function. Apple has just changed the buttons.
Now, you have to press 2 buttons instead of one.
Hold down the on/off power button till you see the slider,
Then hold down the square button(the only button under the screen till your application closed.
It's working very good for me.
hope it helps.

Any confirmation if Apple improved the audio quality w/ the 3.0 update? I swear playback of music via the iPod mode sounds clearer, warmer and far less brittle than in earlier device OS releases.

Gold traders are the most bullish in a month after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled record stimulus will continue until the economy improves.
Twelve analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect prices to rise next week, with nine bearish and eight neutral, the highest proportion of bulls since April 26. Prices rose 58% since 2008 as the Fed led central banks in debt purchases. Bullion is poised for its first weekly gain in three and trading and investment company Degussa Goldhandel GmbH said demand this month will be double the first-quarter average.
Investors sold 467 metric tons valued at about $21 billion from exchange-traded products this year as some lost faith in gold as a store of value amid an improving U.S. economy and rally in equities. Raising interest rates or curbing bond buying too soon would endanger the recovery, Bernanke said May 22. While prices entered a bear market last month and hedge funds are making the biggest ever bet against the metal, the slump is boosting purchases of jewelry and coins.
"Gold should still be in demand as an alternative currency," said Daniel Briesemann, a commodities analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. "The quantitative easing by central banks should lead to a depreciation in rates for major currencies and in the end should also lead to some inflation concerns, although this is not an issue at the moment. As long as institutional investors are selling gold ETP holdings, this will probably outweigh robust retail demand."
Gold Prices
The metal fell 17% to $1,387.11 an ounce in London this year after climbing the past 12 years. Gold is the third- worst performer in the Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities, after silver and corn. The S&P GSCI dropped 3.7% since the start of January and the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities rose 9.7%. Treasuries lost 0.6%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Bullion rose as much as 2.8% and then fell as much as 1.6% on May 22 after Bernanke expressed concern to Congress that federal budget cuts were blunting the recovery. He said the pace of bond purchases could be reduced in the next few meetings if the jobless rate keeps dropping. Many Fed officials said more progress in the labor market is needed before paring the $85 billion in monthly purchases, minutes of their last meeting showed the same day.

Me and some colleagues of mine recently all stumbled over the following error when analyzing .NET minidumps:
I opened a the minidump and typed !CLRStack. What I got was:
Failed to load data access DLL, 0x80004005
Verify that 1) you have a recent build of the debugger (6.2.14 or newer)
2) the file mscordacwks.dll that matches your version of mscorwks.dll is
in the version directory
3) or, if you are debugging a dump file, verify that the file
4) you are debugging on the same architecture as the dump file.
For example, an IA64 dump file must be debugged on an IA64
You can also run the debugger command .cordll to control the debugger's
load of mscordacwks.dll. .cordll -ve -u -l will do a verbose reload.
If that succeeds, the SOS command should work on retry.
If you are debugging a minidump, you need to make sure that your executable
path is pointing to mscorwks.dll as well.
OK, so I followed the step 1 through 4...
ad 1) I'm using version 126.96.36.199 for good reasons
ad 2) Don't know what that means...
ad 3) Why should a dll be in my symbol path?!?
ad 4) The architecture is x86_32 on both machines
So I tried .cordll -ve -u -l
0:000> .cordll -ve -u -l
CLRDLL: Unknown processor type in image C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll

The following sentence finally helped me:
If you are debugging a minidump, you need to make sure that your executable
path is pointing to mscorwks.dll as well.
So I executed:
0:000> lmv m mscorwks
start end module name

I should get you a beer too, Volker! But you'll have to visit San Francisco - Bruce

Sponge rock, also known by the name Perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes and for good reason. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture. Sponge rock is a volcanic glass that expands when heated and becomes very porous. Medium sponge rock, #3, is the perfect size for a wide range of mixes and is a component in our general purpose orchid potting mix. Small Sponge Rock and Large Sponge Rock are also available.
Sponge Rock - Medium: one of the many quality substrates offered by rePotme for orchids, bonsai and all fine
plants. We offer it as an individual potting medium, and also in our custom "make your own" Select-A-Blend Custom Bonsai Soil
If you would like to have us make you up a custom mix we will make it, pack it and ship it right to your
door. Select-A-Blend is unique because we let YOU create a custom potting mix with any combination of 12 quarts from
our giant menu of potting media. Try Select-A-Blend the next time you plant or repot. This unique custom mix
offering is one-of-a-kind and helps make planting and repotting simple and fun while offering you a myriad of
choices of the best possible fresh mediums! Available as an individual media, in a variety of size containers, or as
mix --- you decide, and rePotme will deliver it. What could be better?
"This fall I religiously followed your advice, creating an environment of shortened
days and lower temps in order to encourage blooming...I was successful. FINALLY!! Thank you, thank you!!
Both of my plants decided to bloom and they look beautiful. I wanted to share the good news and
my gratitude with you. Thanks again!"Laurie J.
"The potting medium you sent is gorgeous!! It's superior to the bark I've been
buying at Lowe's. I can't imagine what (my orchids) will do when I put them in your potting mix. It even
smells fresh!! Many, many thanks. I'll be ordering from you again."

The 5th annual Des Moines Rotary Blues & Brews Fest will be Saturday, Aug. 23
For the fifth year in a row – on Saturday, Aug. 23 – people from around Western Washington and beyond will be flocking to the shores of Puget Sound at the Des Moines Beach Park to savor tasty licks of mind-blowing blues played by some of the most renowned musicians of the region, all while sampling the suds of local micro-brew masters in a fundraiser aimed at arming children in the Highline School District with musical instruments.
The Annual Blues & Brews Fest returns to Des Moines Beach Park from Noon – 8 p.m. on Aug. 23. The event benefits the Highline Music4Life Program. All of the net proceeds are donated to charity thanks to the efforts of the Des Moines Rotary Club and community volunteers.
"This 21-and-over event, saw nearly 2,000 blues and beer lovers last year, and this year promises to draw an even bigger crowd," Blues and Brews Fest committee chair and Des Moines Rotarian Brian Snure said.
"The response to this annual fund raiser has been inspiring," he added. "A lazy summer day on the shores of Puget Sound, drinking good beer and listening to the blues seems like a pretty good way to support music education in our schools."
This year, Blues & Brews Fest attendees can enjoy 17 micro-brews, three ciders, wine and some mead. The blues, from some of the Northwest's finest musicians, will begin at 12:30 p.m. and keep rolling until 8 p.m.
Snure said, "On behalf of the Rotary Club of Des Moines Washington, I'd like to thank all of those who have supported this civic event in the past and invite those who have yet to attend Blues & Brews Fest to get your tickets now at www.BluesAndBrewsFest.org."
This year's line up includes:
The Wired Band
James King and the Southsiders
The Randy Oxford Band
Curtis Hammond Band
Tickets for this pet-free event can be purchased online for just $25 or at the door for $30. Every Blues & Brews Fest attendee will receive six tokens and a complimentary tasting glass with the purchase of a ticket. Additional tokens can be purchased to sample more beverages. Designated driver tickets will be available at the door for just $15. Parking is free in the Des Moines Marina and around Des Moines, and a complimentary shuttle will be making the rounds.
The prime benefactor for this annual fundraiser is the Highline Music4Life program. David Endicott, president/CEO of Music4Life, who said: "The value of providing musical instruments for students of low-income families in the Highline School District is critical during hard economic times. We find that many families cannot even afford to rent a musical instrument for their kids."
He added:
"The annual Des Moines Rotary Blues & Brews Festival is a primary way for us to raise funds in support of the Highline Schools program. It also happens to be an event that's a heck of a lot of fun to attend."
To purchase advanced tickets and more information, go to www.BluesAndBrewsFest.org.

A group of legislators unveiled a bill Wednesday that will make it clear that sheriffs and their deputies are prohibited from making arrests or conducting traffic stops.
A tense debate over the powers of the county sheriffs offices has led to action in Dover's Legislative Hall this week.
A group of legislators unveiled a bill Wednesday that will make it clear that sheriffs and their deputies are prohibited from making arrests or conducting traffic stops.
The issue arose last year after Sussex County Sheriff Jeffrey Christopher ordered his deputies to conduct traffic stops when witnessing violations, such as speeding and driving under the influence.
Over the last year, Christopher went back and forth with members of the Sussex County Council about the proper authorities of the state's three sheriffs, who are typically responsible for processing court papers and conducing foreclosure sales.
The altercations led Kent County Sheriff Norman Woods to seek clarification from the Attorney General's Office on the issue.
Last month, State Solicitor Lawrence Lewis wrote in a letter to Wood, and copied to Christopher and New Castle County Sheriff Trinidad Navarro, that after consideration of the state's Constitution, it was concluded that sheriffs and their deputies did lack the authority to make arrests.
"Having reached this conclusion, however, we must recognize that we are essentially interpreting the intent of the General Assembly as over the course of 30 to 40 years," Lewis wrote. "We think the wisest course for all concerned is to seek clarification from the General Assembly as to whether it wishes to grant the county sheriffs the power to arrest."
In response, Rep. Dan Short (R-Seaford) and Sen. Gary Simpson (R-Milford) announced their plans to introduce House Bill 290, which will clarify the law.
House Bill 290 is expected to be filed today and assigned to the House Administration Committee.
"A number of my colleagues and I think it is the right thing to do," Short said. "The Attorney General's Office has asked the legislature to bring clarity to this issue and I believe this bill will set the record straight, once and for all."
Sussex County President Michael Vincent said the council supports the legislation.
"This issue has always been about following the law," he said. "Unfortunately, it has become a distinction over the past year, and it has forced people, perhaps on both sides of the debate, to lose focus on their respective duties."
Christopher said he plans to oppose the legislation, however, during the committee hearing, tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday.
"If you don't want a sheriff in Delaware, then you need to change the Constitution," Christopher said. "These are legislators. We trust them. We elect them. Evidently they don't understand how the system works."

In the heat of last year's Democratic primary in Ohio, when the party's presidential nomination was in the balance, then-Sen. Barack Obama vilified US trade policy – as practiced by both the Bush and Clinton administrations. He opposed pending free-trade agreements with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea, and he advocated reopening and renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Fifteen months later, President Obama is whistling a different trade tune.
Having named Texan and NAFTA advocate Ron Kirk his US trade representative, Obama is pushing for passage in Congress of the Panama trade pact, perhaps this fall. He wants the same for the Colombia and South Korea accords.
And NAFTA? White House aides let it be known around the time of the president's April trip to Mexico that the regional trade agreement would not be renegotiated.
What happened? It's the difference between running for president and formulating policy as president, some trade-policy analysts say. Obama, in tackling a global economic downturn that had worsened as the campaign went on, is coming down on the side of those who see expanded trade as part of a ticket out of the recession.
"You just knew that as president, [Obama] would have to come around to a more centrist view," says David Orden, a trade-policy analyst with the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington. He laments that the rhetoric during the presidential campaign was "not constructive for the public's understanding of trade issues."
Others say that just as Obama has charted a pragmatic foreign-policy course, he'll take a similar path for trade policy.
"Given what we've seen so far, I'd expect the president to lay out a very pragmatic course for what the US should try to achieve through trade policy and negotiations," says Jeffrey Schott, a trade-policy expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. That means Obama would integrate already-negotiated trade pacts into a vision for America's economic recovery.
Besides that, Mr. Schott says, "He'll want the American people to understand how trade policy can be part of a strategy to promote economic development in poorer countries."
But these trade watchers also advise Americans to "stay tuned." The administration's trade policy is a work in progress, they say, and will emerge over the coming months through a number of venues:
•As US officials pursue discussions with Panama over how to make that agreement more palatable to Congress.
•With international trade partners on completing the Doha Round of global trade talks.
•Maybe even in global climate talks, where trade and agriculture are seen as key issues in achieving a new accord on limiting greenhouse gases.
•In a major presidential speech laying out "a new framework for trade policy," say administration officials.
"He's trying to strike a balance, something between the free-trade model we've followed until now and an alternative that would reflect new interests like the fair wages needed to create consumers or a new emphasis on local supply and demand," says Mary Tharin, a research fellow at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs in Washington (COHA). "But you have to say that, so far, he's been pretty silent."
Perhaps the "road map" to Obama's overall trade policy will emerge by the end of summer, when the president is expected to deliver his major speech on trade. Though no date or venue for the talk has been set, unofficial word is that it could be timed to complement the Group of 20 summit that the United States will host in Pittsburgh on Sept. 24 and 25.
In addition to sharing his vision of a comprehensive trade policy, Obama could use such a speech for a more practical purpose. A broad trade-policy address "may be needed to set the stage before any kind of congressional debate can take place," Schott says.
In other words, the administration doesn't want to say "no" to the countries the Bush administration negotiated trade pacts with, Schott says, "so they are going to have to find a way to get the Congress to say 'yes.' "
Already, some Democratic members of Congress are shouting their opposition to any new trade agreements. They're also unveiling what is likely to be their battle theme: that the negotiated free-trade agreements (FTAs) were already wrong for the Bush years and would be an even bigger mistake for an America with high unemployment and struggling workers.
After Mr. Kirk told Congress last month that he was working "furiously" to win approval of the Panama trade pact, Rep. Michael Michaud (D) of Maine said, "The Panama FTA takes us in the wrong direction at a time when our energies should be devoted to getting our economy moving forward again."
Representative Michaud, who is chairman of the House Trade Working Group, criticized the "recycling" of Bush-era accords and added, "We need to change our model."
If a Democratic president facing stiff opposition from his own party on trade issues sounds familiar, it's because President Clinton found himself in the same predicament over NAFTA in 1993. In fact, Obama seems to be following a Clinton example in pursuing approval of another administration's controversial trade accords, says Mr. Orden, who is also a professor of agricultural and trade policy at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
"Clinton came in and negotiated side agreements to NAFTA without reopening the whole accord, and now we see Obama doing something very similar," he says. Obama is opting to leave the Panama and other negotiated trade pacts untouched, while entering discussions with the governments in question to produce the kinds of concessions or additional points that might persuade Congress to go along, Orden says.
As for any effort to broadly redefine trade policy, Obama should beware of what happened to Mr. Clinton, Orden also says. "Clinton tried to bring the language of the environment and labor relations into world-trade proceedings, and he ended up frightening the developing countries and setting things back for some time," he says. In the same way, Obama could unwittingly build a "thorns nest" with a trade speech that rubs developing countries the wrong way, he adds.
It's not just the governments of developing countries that will be up in arms, Ms. Tharin of COHA says, if Obama follows through on "new directions" in trade.
"The World Bank and other international institutions, the big corporations and other elites see a strengthening of what we've already been doing as the way to get out of the economic downturn," she says.
"If he really does try to come up with a 'new framework,' " she adds, "I expect to see a battle."•

So I had this wonderful idea and plan to circumvent my grandmother and still get the family stories. My dad lives in Ohio, one uncle is in Alabama and the rest are in central Pennsylvania. I lucked out that 6 of the 7 siblings have email. I knew that some of them would share more than others and that was perfectly fine.
But would it work? I can't even begin to describe how amazed I am with the returns so far.
On Thursday, January 5, I sent out an email warning my relatives of my new, brilliant plan to get the family involved in my genealogy adventures. I received a few positive responses and started thinking that this just might work. If I could just put names with the stories, I would be happy.
On Friday, January 6, I sent my family the first mini story:
We had worn out furniture too. I remember when a priest dropped by for a visit, I tried to hide a broken spring and by standing one of my children in front of it. To my surprise, the priest picked up the little one and sat down on that chair. The spring always let you know it was there!
The responses started coming back. Not only did I learn who the priest was (my great grandmother worked as his housekeeper) and how my grandmother was embarrassed by that chair's broken spring and would often make the kids sit in it when they had company over, I also started getting stories about the kids visiting their grandmother when she moved to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania in order to continue working for the priest.
Those 3 lines became over a page of family memories.
The next week I sent out another story:
Once my family made a trip to Susquehanna. After getting 7 kids ready for the trip, I forgot to change my shoes. As we sat talking in the rectory, one of the kids asked, "Why are you wearing your dirty sneakers?"
The first week I only received memories from 2 of the 7 siblings. The following week I received 10 emails from 4 of the siblings. Story number 2 became a collection of stories about visiting Susquehanna (and how they never visited as a family since it took too long to get there). They even incorporated another of my grandmother's stories about leaving my uncle at home because they thought he was in the car with the rest of them.
Once again a few lines turned into a page of memories.
My aunts are sharing these stories with my grandparents and sending me their responses as well. As for my uncle who doesn't have email? My aunt called him to get the scoop on when he got a gash in his head at school so we could add his side to the stories.
Tomorrow I will share one of the stories that we created. Stay tuned.

Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Agatha Christie's most famous work is a breathtaking and faithful one, but with its own flare. The film added action and elements for shock value absent from the book, with some actually giving their desired effect while others felt unnecessary and hindered the flow. While Christie's novel ends abruptly, the film stretches it out to bring that extra bit of emotion to its conclusion which was one of the few additions that actually enhanced the already perfect reference material.
The main differences between the book and the film are its characters with a few changing to add diversity to the otherwise caucasian list of suspects. Penelope Cruz's Pilar Estravados replaces the novel's Swedish Greta Ohlsson with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo's Biniamino Marquez replacing the Italian Antonio Foscarelli. John Arbuthnot switches ethnicities to be played by Leslie Odom Jr. These changes make no difference at all, if anything, it strengthens it by addressing racism (and we get the iconic rosé quote from Daisy Ridley because of it). The powerhouse cast is so perfect and every one of them deliver exceptional performances.
The real triumph of the film lies with its exquisite cinematography capturing Istanbul's sprawling Byzantine architecture and the alpine wilderness of Western Europe, in addition to the camera work (namely the overhead and tracking shots) and production design which all deserve Oscar recognition.
Loved the cinematography! Fabulous movie. I had forgotten the whodunnit part and just loved it. Great acting. Great job.
I read the reviews before I went and wasn't expecting too much. But this is a great movie. Loved it. Beautiful scenery and a very accurate portrait of an Agatha Christie story. Well done. Would see it again.
Beautiful cinematography, great acting and, of course, Agatha Christie's engaging plot. A Perfect Poirot!
Would have made a better movie for TV. Dull acting, by big stars. Not much suspenders.
Very enjoyable and clever version of "Oriental Express". Well done!
Kenneth Branagh should have cast someone else as Poirot. Worst portrayal of Poirot ever. Was David Suchet not available? Or did he turn down this disastrous, over dramatic plot?
the mustache with side burns was overplay on a feature you wish to replicate-annoyed me during the entire movie except when I feel asleep during the monotone dialogue-the wit and charm of the original Poirot was missing-boo
Too centered on Poirot character and not enough on the rest of the characters. I found it rather slow, didn't fall asleep, but heard of others who did. Doesn't compare to the earlier version.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the role of certain gene variants on the onset and course of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis-a severe infection affecting the eye-in patients with AIDS. Symptoms include blurry vision, eye pain, photophobia, floaters, eye redness, and impaired vision. Left untreated, it can cause blindness. The study is done in collaboration with investigators of the Longitudinal Studies of the Ocular Complications of AIDS (LSOCA) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The purpose of the LSOCA study is to learn about how HIV and other infections associated with AIDS and their treatments affect people's eyes and sight.
Blood samples previously collected from patients participating in the LSOCA study will be analyzed for gene variants. These differences will then be correlated with the patients' clinical data to try to discover the role of gene differences among patients on the following: susceptibility to CMV and related problems; development and course of CMV; and response to HAART (highly active antiretroviral treatment), particularly in CMV onset and pathology.
The study will use blood samples and clinical information previously collected from patients during their participation in LSOCA. The materials will be identified with a numerical code linking the samples and clinical data. No additional procedures will be performed on patients for this study.
|Condition or disease
LSOCA is a prospective observational study of ocular complications in HIV-infected AIDS patients including those treated with highly active anti-retroviral treatment (HAART).
In the absence of HAART, there is a 30% risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV0 infection associated with AIDS.
Of these CMV patients, 75-85% will develop retinitis.
Test a number of human candidate gene polymorphisms in the LSOCA cohort samples to discover genetic influences on the susceptibility to CMV and associated pathologies.
Inspect the role of known AIDS restriction genes (ARGs) on the infection and pathogenesis of CMV.
Evaluate the role of the same host gene polymorphisms on the response to HAART, particularly in CMV onset and pathology.
Lymphocytes for DNA extraction and relevant clinical data from properly consented AIDS patients (maximum estimated at n= 2,000) will be provided to the LGD for genotyping and analysis. No available subjects will be excluded.
LSOCA has collected blood specimens and banked viably frozen lymphocytes from each study participant. Samples and clinical data are coded and linked.
Genes under study include the traditional described ARGs (O'Brien & Nelson, 2004); the CMV receptor gene, US28 (Pleskoff et al., 1997); HLA class I and II; KIR gene family and other genes involved in virus immune defenses.
Single nucleotide variants within coding regions, upstream and downstream regulatory regions, and ironic elements will be tested for genetic equilibrium distortion in patient populations at risk for CMV and displaying CMV pathology.
Following this study, the samples will be maintained in our repository and curated through our central Laboratory database. Loss or destruction of these samples will be recorded in our database and cannot impact the study participants in any way. We understand that studies subsequent to the completion of this protocol will require additional OHSR/IRB approval prior to commencement.

¿Cuáles son los beneficios de la virtualización de redes?
Are you weighing the pros and cons of network virtualization? If so, you'll likely find that the pros outweigh the cons by a considerable margin. Whether your concerns are finding qualified labor, keeping costs down, improving security, or delivering apps to your users or customers faster, network performance goes up while costs go down when you choose virtualization. Here are some of the benefits:
Less Time, Effort, and Money Spent on Hardware
|Hardware costs include the power it takes to operate, the labor it requires to monitor, maintain and repair, as well as replacement costs.
Hardware is one of the most expensive costs associated with running an IT department, just after the price of your IT workforce. Virtualization cuts out the need for lots of physical switches, routers, servers, etc. -- not only saving the costs of maintaining and replacing those items, but also eliminating the costs of powering those devices and paying for repairs. Virtualization improves productivity in IT by eliminating much of the work associated with upkeep and repair of all that physical equipment, and makes it easier for IT to focus on other aspects of running your business efficiently.
Less Demand for Lots of Different Technical Skills
Along with the hardware you eliminate through virtualization, you also eliminate the need to have workers trained across brands and models of all that hardware. Each time you invest in new switches, routers, and other equipment, you have to account for the time and expense of training IT workers to install, maintain, and repair that equipment. Virtualization takes care of this issue once and for all.
Speeding Up the Time to Application Delivery
Virtualization makes development, testing, and deployment of new apps a lot faster. With the power of automation tools, you can significantly reduce time to market, allowing you to increase revenue by rolling out apps quicker and roll out more of them in a given period of time.
Improved Security
Another benefit of automation is that network policies, policies governing compliance issues, and security policies can be automated, as well. This improves the security of a virtualized network. This is a huge benefit to anyone doing business online, but it is especially helpful in highly regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, insurance, etc.Improved Recovery Times Following a Hardware Failure or Disaster
|Virtualization makes disaster recovery far simpler and faster.
Outages caused by hardware failures or some sort of a disaster can be tremendously costly. A virtualized network helps get your systems and applications back up faster, and sometimes can prevent any outage from happening to begin with. Cloud services have an extraordinary record when it comes to providing solid uptime (the industry standard is five 9's, or 99,999 percent uptime). In fact, such an outage is so rare that it makes headline news when it does occur.
Are you ready to virtualize and embrace the next generation of network management? Visit NETSCOUT to get started today.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine galangal, garlic, Thai chilies, shallots, 1 cup cilantro leaves, coconut milk, chili sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse on high for 30 seconds or until mixture is a smooth puree. Place chicken in a bowl and pour marinade over chicken, turning the chicken several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe saute pan on medium high heat, add canola oil and sear chicken, skin side down. Let chicken cook, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned well. Place pan in oven for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, in the same saute pan, add chicken stock and Buddha Chicken Chili Sauce and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate any browned bits. Let mixture simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter and stir to incorporate.
While the sauce is simmering, French the chicken pieces: using a kitchen towel, hold the wing tip of the chicken and scrape the meat toward the breast until the bone is bare. Repeat the process with the drumstick and thigh portion and set aside.
To serve:
Using square plates, shingle slices of peeled sliced lime, top with some Choi Sum, place the chicken on top, and drizzle with more sweet Thai chili sauce, if desired.
In a medium non-reactive bowl, dissolve sugar in lime juice and mix well. Add chili sauce and mix to combine. Place the mixture into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth, about 15 seconds.;
In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Place ice cubes in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. When water is boiling, add choi sum and cook for 10 seconds. Remove from water and add to bowl with ice cubes to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, remove from bowl and place onto paper towel lined plate to drain excess water.
Just before serving, heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sweat for 15 seconds. Add choi sum, chili sauce, sugar, and lime juice, and continue to cook for 30 seconds. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
