Save Up To 96% on ECM with an Open Source Stack
Alfresco releases whitepaper detailing total cost of ownership comparative analysis; provides clarity on the real costs of ECM
LONDON, UK. – 3rd December, 2008 – Alfresco Software today announced the release of a comparative analysis of ECM pricing. The Alfresco Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) whitepaper, based on publicly available pricing from a range of vendors, shows how it is possible to save, in the first year of implementation (based on a 1000 user configuration) up to 89 percent of the cost of SharePoint purchases and up to 96 percent of the cost of other ECM solutions by using Alfresco's open source ECM. The whitepaper aims to demystify some of the complexity around current proprietary ECM pricing and demonstrate how choosing and implementing an open source ECM solution can be a transparent and cost-effective process.
With IT budgets being squeezed, businesses are under pressure to deliver more with less resource. Alfresco's whitepaper shows how organizations can focus on lowering cost, increasing simplicity and ensuring greater choice by examining the real costs of implementing EMC/Documentum, OpenText, Microsoft SharePoint and Alfresco.
Alongside its open source partners such as Sun Microsystems and Red Hat, Alfresco champions a new way of budgeting for IT. In the past, projects have scaled on high-end, high-cost hardware and large software roll outs resulting in ECM purchases dictating the make-up of the rest of an organization's IT infrastructure. Today, open source software frees businesses from the shackles of proprietary lock-in, on both hardware and software, allowing them to define how the rest of the stack will look and integrate. Budgets previously devoured by high license fees are now freed up to reduce costs or make projects that were previously not financially viable possible.
"In the current economic climate CIO's and IT executives are looking to lower cost, with a minimal upfront investment that can be driven out of operating expense as opposed to capital expense, as well a simplicity for rapid deployment and immediate business value," said Dr. Ian Howells, CMO at Alfresco Software. "Open source is at the core of lowering cost, and TCO by reusing existing hardware, software and skills with no lock-in."
"Corporations are intent on commoditizing their IT infrastructure and lowering their cost of operations. Sun's MySQL database reduces the Total Cost of Ownership of database software by over 90 percent. After harvesting huge efficiencies from using open source software, companies are now targeting usage through the stack getting similar TCO reductions," said Jeff Wiss, Database Group, Sun Microsystems. "At no other time in recent history has the need for enterprises' to effectively manage their IT investment been so apparent. Open source technology stacks offer CIOs' choice and interoperability and CFO's dramatically lower costs."
"With capital costs continuing to grow, CIOs and IT executives are looking for more ways to get more return on their investment—and to use that savings to provide better service. It starts with using open source solutions to lower costs— taking advantage of technology and services that provide greater flexibility and choice. This allows organizations to balance the pressures of meeting service demands with limited resources," commented Jennifer Venable, senior partner development manager, Red Hat.

Marin Software Inc (MRIN) Hits New 52-week Low During February 11 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Marin Software Inc (MRIN) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $2.73, Marin Software Inc dropped to $2.66 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $2.72 a share for a loss of 2.51%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Marin Software Inc saw 35,807 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 37.08 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 86,006 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Marin Software Inc enters the new trading day with a market cap of 100.86 million, a 50-day SMA of $3.44 and a 200-day SMA of $4.52

Robbing the cradle
Bette Isacoff, a college student on a teaching intern assignment at a Connecticut high school, walked into the teachers' lounge one day and spotted a handsome graduating senior, a 17-year-old Jewish kid named Richard. A good Catholic girl, she was not about to date one of her students, but seven weeks later, they were engaged. That was 1968, when Jews and Catholics rarely married "outside." To say their courtship was ill-received by friends and family is an understatement. And so the fun began. Yet from this unlikely set of circumstances came a 43-year (and counting) marriage. How did they do it?

HO55 inspired me to put these pictures on. Normally I would have waited another week or so.
It's good I had some pictures in reserve, because we went out yesterday and got skunked.
Something is wrong when we can't find a band of 180 head of mustangs when there are only
four places they can find water.
These two mares are out of One Ear. One gave birth to a carmello colored baby. For some unknown reason it died
when it was about two month of age. The other mare has a pure black baby.

Democrat Martha Coakley has seen her edge over Republican Charlie Baker nearly erased in the last several weeks and is now virtually tied with Baker in a potential general-election matchup, according to a new Boston Globe poll.
Coakley leads Baker 39 percent to 36 percent in a hypothetical November contest. The 3-point edge is within the survey's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Four weeks ago, Coakley held a nine-point advantage over Baker. The gap between the two is now the narrowest it has been in the seven weeks since the Globe began polling.
The poll also examined a range of crime- and gun-related issues, and found that 62 percent of likely voters support US Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to seek the death penalty for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Twenty-nine percent said they oppose Holder's decision.
Democrats were almost evenly split on the question, with 48 percent supporting Holder's choice and 46 percent opposing it. Republicans, at 86 percent to 14 percent, and independents, at 70 percent to 26 percent, were more solidly in favor of the federal push for the death penalty for Tsarnaev.
Despite Massachusetts' strict gun laws, as well as its reputation as a liberal bastion, 30 percent of likely voters said they or one of their immediate family members own a gun. That is not much different from national rates of gun ownership. One national survey, for example, found that 34 percent of American households owned a gun in 2012.
The Globe poll found younger voters were just as likely as older voters to own a gun, although there was a split among voters depending on their level of education. Thirty-five percent of likely voters who did not have a college degree said they or one of their immediate family members own a gun, compared to 26 percent of college graduates.
Democrats, at 16 percent, were less likely than Republicans, at 37 percent, and independents, at 36 percent, to own a gun.
The live telephone survey of 605 likely, registered voters was conducted by SocialSphere, Inc. from July 7 to July 8, and from July 13 to July 15. The margin of error, while 4 percentage points for the survey overall, was 5.1 percentage points for a smaller sample of 362 voters likely to cast ballots in the Democratic primary on Sept. 9.
Nearly half of all respondents to the poll, or 47 percent, said they believe the state's gun laws, already considered among the toughest in the nation, should be stricter. Thirty-five percent said the laws should remain the same, while 15 percent said they should be less strict.
The findings suggest voters are generally supportive of the Legislature's recent effort to pass wide-ranging legislation that would further tighten firearm regulations in Massachusetts and give police discretion to deny a permit for a rifle or shotgun if an applicant is deemed unsuitable.
That bill was denounced last week by the National Rifle Association, which told its members the legislation "will directly and adversely affect your constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
Yet the poll found Massachusetts voters, perhaps not surprisingly, are not fond of the national group. Thirty-seven percent of likely voters said they had a favorable view of the NRA, while 53 percent said they had an unfavorable view.
That is the opposite of national surveys, which have indicated that most Americans have a positive view of the NRA. Last year, for example, a nationwide poll indicated that 57 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the NRA, compared to 36 percent who had an unfavorable view.
Asked about personal safety, the vast majority of Globe poll respondents said they feel safe in their homes and in their neighborhoods, although those with lower incomes were more likely to feel unsafe. Overall, 96 percent of respondents said they feel secure in their homes after dark, and 84 percent said they feel safe walking in their neighborhoods after dark.
The vast majority of Globe poll respondents said they feel safe in their homes and in their neighborhoods, although those with lower incomes were more likely to feel unsafe.
But among likely voters who earn less than $50,000 a year, the rate was lower, with 65 percent saying they feel safe walking in their neighborhoods at night. By comparison, 93 percent of those with annual incomes of more than $100,000 said they feel safe in their neighborhoods after dark.
One-third of all respondents said they have been victims of property crime, and 16 percent said they had been victims of violent crime. College-educated voters were more likely to report being victims of property crimes, while those without college degrees were more likely to be victims of violent crimes.
As it does every week, the poll tracked changes in the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. While the survey showed a possible general election contest between Baker and Coakley tightening, it indicated that Coakley continues to dominate the Democratic primary race.
With less than eight weeks until that election, the attorney general holds a 34-point lead, 50 percent to 16 percent, over her nearest rival, state Treasurer Steve Grossman, who has dropped 2 percentage points over the last two weeks. Former federal health care administrator Don Berwick was at 6 percent in the poll.
Coakley, despite coming in second to Grossman at the state Democratic convention in June, has remained above 50 percent in the poll every week for the last seven weeks. Grossman and Berwick, meanwhile, have not seen any significant shift in their standing. The findings indicate Grossman has been unable to translate his convention victory into broader support from likely Democratic primary voters. And Berwick, despite emphasizing his liberal credentials, has not generated widespread enthusiasm among the Democratic electorate.

Many people think that religion and science do not go together. Often, they compartmentalize each into completely separate places in their lives. Science, after all, is based upon observation and testing—unquestionable facts. Right? Religion, on the other hand, is based upon thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Science is material; religion is immaterial. Science gives answers; religion causes problems. Isn't this the basic attitude towards the two?
Ultimately, anything that is untestable is put into the realm of religion. We can observe the law of gravity. We can test the law of inertia. Of course, these would not be considered religious. We cannot, however, observe the Big Bang, nor can we test it. We have not witnessed a star form. We have not seen life emerge from non-life.
The theories of origins—creation and evolution—are not observable nor are they testable. Thus, they are religious. If you were to ask a Christian how God was created, he or she cannot tell you. It must be taken by faith. If you were to ask an atheist where the matter originated for the Big Bang, he or she cannot tell you. It must also be taken by faith. Either you believe "in the beginning God" or you believe "in the beginning dirt." Neither can be considered science; they both are religions.
For more on this topic, please watch "They're Both Religions," session one of my Beginnings DVD curriculum.

Tawny Owls (Strix aluco) are The Owls Most Often Heard Calling During the Night
Britain's most common owl, though more people know its toowhit, twowoo call than have ever seen one. Brown on the back, with a paler streaked underside, the tawny owl has dark eyes within a rusty facial disk. In flight it is dumpy with short broad wings and a short tail which helps it to manoeuvre through the trees when hunting in its woodland habitat.
Tawny owls are happy to live close to people in cities and towns, as well as in the countryside.
Length: 37-39cm; wingspan: 94-104cm
Status in UK
19,400 pairs, declining; GREEN listed; resident
Population Trends
Tawny owls were severely persecuted in the second half of the 19th century considerably reducing their population. In fact long-eared owls were considered more common in the north of England and barn owls in parts of the south at this time.
A recovery began in the 20th century with more enlightened attitudes to the species and numbers seem to have stabilised by the 1950s. Numbers then declined, possibly linked to persistent agricultural chemicals, but had recovered by the 1970s. However a steady decline appears to have started in the mid-1980s, which is still continuing. This is most marked in Scotland and south-west England.
Habitat and Distribution
The tawny owl is principally a woodland bird, but also occurs in farmland with plenty of trees and overgrown hedges. It is often found in urban parks and suburban gardens with mature trees.
It is recorded throughout England, Wales and Scotland but does not occur in Ireland or most of the islands surrounding the UK.
Tawny owls nest in holes in trees and buildings; but will sometimes use crows' nests and squirrel dreys. They will take to nestboxes, though less readily than the barn owl.
Tawny owls mainly feed on small mammals; in woodland bank vole, wood mouse, and shrews are most common, while in farmland field voles are more often caught. Invertebrates can also be a significant part of the diet, especially earthworms and beetles. Birds are also taken, especially in summer, when nestlings and fledglings are available. They usually hunt from a perch, dropping down on their prey.

Despite the lunacy that was the holidays, there has been a good bit of exploration of the solo content going on. While the raiding break has been kind of awkward, I've definitely been keeping busy. Alts? Two more are sitting at 90, one of which is a second shaman. Pet battles? Diggin' them. Working my way through old raids? You bet. Brawler's Guild? Just hit rank 8 and let me tell you, those bosses mean business!
Slowly but surely I've also been working on putting out video guides. I don't just mean "Hey, watch me tackle things while music is playing in the background!" sort of videos either. These guides actually have words that are verbally spoken by me. Let me tell you, moving from a text-based mindset into a speaking one is awkward at best for me. While I have a tendency to be verbose in text, I'm often easily tongue-tied and rather soft spoken. It's been an interesting project thus far, one that's certainly pushing my comfort zone.
So, it is with much excitement and dread that I present to you my Brawler's Guild guides. I say dread mainly because it's painfully apparently how much of a learning process this series will be for me format wise, and I say excitement because videos of this nature are something that I've been wanting to do for some time. I only have ranks 1 and 2 complete at the time of writing this post, but rank 3 should be out within the next day or two. I really cannot wait to be able to share ranks 7 and 8 with everyone!
Right, videos.
So what do you all think? Is this enough, or would you all prefer supplemental text guides that broke things down even more? I know these videos are fairly fast paced, and that was kind of the intent. I wanted short and sweet versus something that drones on, but I realize that it may not be quite enough for some. Toss me some feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it!
One top of all the Brawler's stuff, I'm hoping to get out guides on how to solo old raids fairly soon. Once those are published I'll be linking those on the What's Soloable By Enhancement post, but for best results watch either Twitter, Facebook, or even Youtube itself for announcements of when they're posted.
Anyways, off I go to tinker with more video footage and hopefully acquire my 'Brawler' title. Like I said earlier in this post, those rank 8 bosses mean business. So much fancy footwork involved and if you're a bit slow, BOOM. You're a splatter on the ground. Needless to say, I've died a lot so far to rank 8. So much fun! No sarcasm, because as frustrating as Brawler's Guild can become, it really is a friggen blast. I definitely encourage you all to go check it out at some point.

Both opened today and will be monitored over a couple days. Both are under Stelvin - go Christoffel!
Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett 2005 9%, AP 2 602 041 003 06
Joh. Jos. Christoffel Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2005 9%, AP 2 602 041 004 06
It's hard to see which I'd prefer of the two as both are changing much in glass. Sometimes the ET is more mineral; sometimes the ÜW is. Sometimes the ET shows more depth; sometimes the ÜW does.
It's easier to say that the ÜW seems more fruity and less acidic, while the ET shows more a Ruwerian sort of steely austerity. But both have great fruit and a balanced amount of sugar and are more overtly acidic than the other 2005s I've so far sampled (which is only good). Both are maybe again a tad heavy to be Kabinetts, leaning towards the Spätlese style.
The ÜW does show a rather different nose: I guess the unique smell is the "spiciness" alluded to in the name, but I would rather have said its an earthyness, a bit red toned (like baked bricks) and floral in nature. The ET isn't so unique in its aromas but is equally lovely and I do appreciate the steeliness of it.
I love both wines as the warm year hasn't hidden the minerality and acidity underneath all else. In my next case, I'd like quite a few more of both and any other Christoffels available! This style of Riesling is the one I love. I don't remember tasting Christoffels before these two bottles!!!

Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine
Primary tabs
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine helps protect against severe infections due to a group of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Infections can occur:
- In the blood
- In the lungs (pneumonia)
- Of the coverings of the brain (meningitis)
Alternative Names
Vaccine - pneumovax; Vaccine - PPSV23; Immunization - pneumovax
After you get this vaccine, your body's immune system learns to attack the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria if you come in contact with it. This makes you less likely to get sick from an infection due to this bacteria.
No vaccine is 100% effective. So, it is still possible to get an infection from Streptococcus pneumoniae, even after you have been vaccinated.
The vaccine is recommended for:
- Cigarette smokers age 19 to 64
- Everyone age 65 or older
- People age 2 or older with a high-risk of infection:
- Includes persons with heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, alcoholism, diabetes, cirrhosis, cochlear implants, and leaks of cerebrospinal fluid
- People with sickle cell disease
- People who have had their spleen removed or whose spleens are not working well
- People who live in nursing homes (extended-care facilities)
- People who live in any institution where there are other people with long-term health problems
- People with conditions that weaken the immune system, such as cancer, HIV, or an organ transplant
- People who receive long-term medicines that suppress the immune system, including steroids
- Certain groups of Alaskan natives and Native American populations 2 years through 5 years old or over age 50
You need at least one shot of the vaccine. One dose works for most people. You may need a second dose again 5 years later if:
- You had the first shot before age 65
- Your immune system is weakened
- You have chronic kidney failure or nephrotic syndrome
- You have sickle cell disease
- Your spleen has been removed
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is not used to protect against pneumococcal diseases in children under age 2. A different vaccine, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is routinely given to younger children to protect against disease due to Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Most people have no or only minor side effects from the pneumococcal vaccine. You may have some pain and redness at the place where you get the shot. Serious problems are rare and are mainly due to allergic reactions to a part of the vaccine.
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is an inactivated-bacteria vaccine. You cannot get an infection from receiving this vaccine.
Call your health care provider if moderate or serious side effects appear after the pneumococcal vaccine has been given. Also call if you have any questions or concerns about the vaccine.
Talk to your health care provider before receiving the pneumococcal vaccine if you have a fever or an illness that is more serious than a cold, or if there is a chance you might be pregnant.
Call your health care provider if you are not sure whether you or your child should get or delay the pneumococcal vaccine.

Wrestlers Ranked 20th in Latest D3 Pollby Brent Harris • January 26, 2011 Share:
Wabash moved up eight spots in the latest Brute/adidas National Wrestling Coaches Association Division III poll this week. The Little Giants, fresh off a second place finish at the Max Servies Duals, equalled their highest all-time ranking in the poll at 20th.
"We were ranked 20th my second season here," head coach Brian Anderson said. "That's been as high a spot as we have achieved. I think the ranking is a reflection of not only our effort Saturday against some extremely talented teams, but also of our results from the Budd Whitehill Duals. I think we showed the nation what Wabash wrestling can accomplish against some of the other teams ranked in the poll at that time. We knocked off some great teams out there and that gets you noticed.
"We have a great group of wrestlers this season and what they've accomplished is fabulous. We have the perfect opportunity this weekend to back up at the Wheaton Invitational because we will compete against wrestlers from some schools that are right there with us in the rankings. We could move up with a good performance or we could just as easily move down in the poll if we don't do what we need to this weekend."
The Little Giants are 11-4-1 in dual meets overall this season, including a mid-week win against Manchester last Wednesday and a 3-1 record at the Servies Duals. A 23-15 loss to Lincoln College, a NJCAA Division II program. Wabash will compete at the Pete Willson - Wheaton Invitational this Friday and Saturday, followed by the Midstates Wrestling Conference Tournament at Manchester College on February 12. Wabash will serve as the host of the 2011 NCAA DIII Midwest Wrestling Regional on Saturday, February 26.

Mayor Don Wesely today signed the Neighborhood Character Preservation Initiative, a zoning change designed to protect the residential characteristics of Lincoln's older established neighborhoods. The rules were approved by the City-County Planning Commission April 5 and by the Lincoln City Council May 1.
"The older neighborhoods of our city are special, and they deserve special treatment to help them maintain their unique qualities," Mayor Wesely said at a news conference at the Rogers House Bed and Breakfast in the Near South Neighborhood. "These rule changes will preserve these areas without hindering the continuing growth in our city."
The Initiative was supported by 20 neighborhood organizations, the city's Urban Development Department, the Historic Preservation Commission, the Preservation Association of Lincoln and the Real Estate Owners and Managers Association.
"The initiative enjoyed an extremely broad base of support," said Jon Carlson, President of the Near South Neighborhood Association. "It will allow us to maintain our vision of Lincoln as a growing community that continues to care about its citizens and the quality of life they enjoy."
The new rules apply only to new residential construction on land in the city limits as of December 31, 1949. They include three major components:

Inquiry to target expensive downloads
The Federal Government is planning an inquiry into why it costs more to download software and content in Australia than in many other countries.
Labor MP Ed Husic, a member of the committee that is likely to carry out the inquiry, says the details are still being finalised.
But he says the inquiry will examine whether taxes play a role in making downloads more expensive in Australia.
He says it is unreasonable for companies to blame Australia's isolation for higher costs.
"Certainly you can understand if companies have costs to bear in getting a product to Australia, you'd certainly appreciate that those costs will be passed through," he said.
"But if you're downloading software, and there are no bricks and mortar costs, people are just left scratching their heads."
Mr Husic says consumers are increasingly complaining that they are paying too much for internet products.
"The minute they jump onto the internet and check those prices they can see that they're really getting a bad deal," he said.
"Over the past year I've been trying to get answers out of IT companies.
"Now we're hoping that we can get those answers to why they price Australian consumers differently to those overseas."

CENTENNIAL, Colo.—Lawyers for the man charged in the Colorado theater shooting are objecting to the city of Aurora's request to lift a judge's gag order.
The city said last month that it has received several requests from emergency responders around the county for details on how city officials managed the July 20 attack. The city also has received requests from media, academics and individuals for items including recordings of 911 calls.
The city contends the gag order is moot after prosecutors presented details of their evidence against James Holmes at a preliminary hearing. Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and injuring dozens of others in the attack.
In their objection filed Tuesday, Holmes' attorneys cite their client's right to a fair trial.
There's no indication when a judge might rule on the issue.

Susan Rosenthal, Cedar Key Woman's Club President, presented a check to Janeice Smith and CKS Principal Darby Allen surrounded by the 5th grade students.
The donation will help offset the cost of the Cedar Key Safety Patrol's trip to Washington, D.C.
On March 26, the Cedar Key Woman's Club hosted a much attended installation dinner at the Steamer's Restaurant in Cedar Key. Out with the "old" and in with the "new," as they say and, the officers being installed will serve the ladies' club from March 31, 2014 until March 31, 2016. The previous officers were very hard to replace and the club has grown to 47 members in the past four years.

The Faraway Inn in Cedar Key is organizing its Third Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt.
As preparations are finalized for the 50th Annual Spring Arts Festival in Cedar Key on April 12 & 13, a new mural to commemorate the event is taking shape in downtown Cedar Key. Plans for the mural have been in the works for over a year, according to festival coordinator, Bev Ringenberg, but the first "real paint" went up on the wall last Friday morning.

The Rogue is meant as a daily commuter, not an off-road adventure vehicle. Its all-wheel-drive system is intended for snow and rain, not rocks and mud. A so-called crossover, it's based on an economy-car platform. The towing capacity is only 1,500 pounds. The four-cylinder engine works well with the continuously variable transmission to provide decent pickup and frugal fuel economy.
Behind the wheel, the Rogue offers carlike ride and handling. We think it's one of the better handling small SUVs, but it's not sporty. The ride allows for a lot of road feel and can become harsh on rough and irregular surfaces. Road imperfections and engine sounds intrude into the cabin.
The cabin is pleasant, with materials that would look good in higher-priced vehicles. The controls are easy to use and understand, but the Rogue lacks creature comforts and gadgets filtering down to other low-priced vehicles. There is no navigation system, for instance.
An SUV should provide cargo utility, and the Rogue is up to the task. The rear seats fold flat and, on the Rogue SL, so does the front passenger seat to permit longer items to be loaded. In back, Nissan offers a handy cargo organizer that can keep groceries from sliding around and provide storage for muddy clothes.
The Rogue was introduced as a 2008 model, and changes since then have been minimal. For 2010, Rogue S models are now available with what Nissan calls the 360 Degree Value Package, which includes 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, privacy glass, a rear spoiler, a chrome grille, and a rearview monitor integrated into an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Nissan claims the package price saves about $1,000 compared to buying these options separately.
With prices starting around $20,000, the Rogue is a worthy competitor vs. the Honda CR-V. Its carlike road manners, cargo utility and prudent fuel economy make it appealing.
The Nissan Rogue is offered in two trim levels, S and SL. Each offers front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All Rogue models have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower mated to a continuously variable transmission. The all-wheel-drive system is meant for on-road use, and it does not include low-range gearing.
Rogue S ($20,340) and comes with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, four-way manually adjustable front seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/CD stereo with four speakers and auxiliary input jack (but lacking MP3 capability), 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat, a single 12-volt power outlet, and 215/70R16 all-season tires on steel wheels. Rogue S is also available with all-wheel drive ($21,540).
The new 360 Degree Value Package ($1,040) adds 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, privacy glass, chrome grille, rear spoiler, and a rearview monitor integrated into an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Splash guards ($125) are the only other factory option for the S model.
Rogue SL with front-drive ($21,930) or all-wheel drive ($23,130) adds a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, trip computer, an additional 12-volt power outlet, vanity mirrors, privacy glass, roof rails and a few other amenities. Tires upgrade to 225/60R17 on aluminum wheels.
Buying the SL also expands the option list. Exclusive to the SL are the Leather Package ($1,950), which includes leather seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated front seats, six-way power driver's seat with power lumbar, driver's one-touch power window, HomeLink, heated outside mirrors and auto-dimming inside mirror; and the Premium Package ($1,930) with seven-speaker Bose premium audio and six-CD changer, MP3 capability, XM Satellite Radio, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume control, foldable rear cargo organizer, rear tonneau cover, fog lights, Bluetooth hands-free cell-phone link, Nissan Intelligent Key keyless ignition, and pre-wiring for a tow hitch. On all-wheel-drive SL's the Premium Package ($2,230) also adds xenon headlights with manual leveling. A power glass sunroof is available ($950) on either SL model. Dealer-installed accessories include floor mats ($185), a towing package ($450), and roof-rail crossbars ($100).
Safety features include dual front airbags, torso-protecting front side airbags, head-protecting side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors, front seat active head restraints, LATCH-style child seat anchors, tire-pressure monitor, ABS with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic stability control with traction control.
Walk Around
The Nissan Rogue appears to be aimed squarely at the Honda CR-V. The styling is swoopy, with rounded lines and a wedge shape from front to rear. Flared rear shoulders and an upswept window line give the Rogue a sporty feel.
Ornamentation is minimal. A black and chrome Nissan badge up front is flanked by a body-color grille. Only that badge and the headlights lend any contrast to the front end. There is even less character to the sides, even with the chrome door handles which have been added for 2010. Side mirrors are black on the Rogue S and body color on the Rogue SL; and the standard wheels on the S are stamped steel with plastic covers (which look like five-spoke alloys, from a distance).The 17-inch aluminum wheels that come with the SL add a touch of drama, with five bifurcated spokes that seem to actively cling to the rim. In contrast, the 16-inch units that dress up S models with the 360 Degree package are a more restrained and traditional five-spoke design. We're ambivalent about the chrome grille that comes with the package, which brightens the front end but fails to enhance its character.
We think the Rogue looks best from the rear, where the dark rear glass, eye-shaped taillights, rounded panels and license plate recess give it some definition. Unfortunately, the rear liftgate lacks a separate opening glass.
Among compact SUVs, the Rogue has a sleeker, car-based crossover look, like the CR-V, as opposed to the upright mini-SUVs like the Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty.
The Rogue is the longest vehicle in the class, though it doesn't look it. At 182.9 inches overall, it is even longer than the seven-passenger Toyota RAV4 and the seemingly large Jeep Liberty.
At first glance, the interior of the Nissan Rogue seems nice if somewhat plain. Closer inspection reveals quality materials impressive for the price. The dash, for instance, is molded in a soft-touch material that seems as if it might be right at home in an Infiniti. The door tops also have a nice soft-touch material. The remainder of the materials is price-appropriate plastic that fits together well.
The instrument panel features only two gauges, the tachometer and speedometer. There is also a round graphic readout that displays the fuel level and water temperature and, on Rogues so equipped, trip computer information.
The center stack features three easily used round climate-control knobs and Nissan's unique radio layout. It has substantially-sized buttons, but the presets are grouped in A, B and C folders, instead of AM and FM sets. It takes some getting used to but, with 18 total presets, most drivers will be able to program all of their favorite stations. An auxiliary input jack is provided for MP3 player connectivity.
Storage for small items up front is adequate. The center console has two integral cupholders and a small tray that will work for holding little odds and ends. If that's not enough, the console bin is very deep and is available with a removable tray to give it two levels of storage.
The driver's seat is comfortable and offers a good driving position, even though there aren't many seat adjustments. The tilt steering wheel helps, and there is enough head and leg room for all but the tallest drivers. There is good visibility to the front and the side mirrors are large, but over-the shoulder visibility is compromised by a smallish rear window and rear side windows that are pinched at the rear. The ride height makes getting into and out of the Rogue very easy.
The second row is usefully roomy, with head and leg room that can accommodate adults, even with the front seats moved far back. Three adults in the rear will be cramped, but they should be able to deal with short trips. Toe space under the front seats is plentiful.
Cargo space is good but not at the top of the class. The second-row seats are split 60/40, and they fold flat in an easy one-step motion to open up to the maximum 57.9 cubic feet of cargo space.
The SL model includes a folding front passenger seat, which folds almost flat to allow loading of longer items. The Premium Package offers a rear cargo organizer, with a recessed floor and removable nets to act as partitions, that helps prevent groceries from rolling around in the back.
While the low floor makes loading items easy, separate opening rear glass would make the cargo area even easier to access.
Driving Impressions
The Nissan Rogue is based on an economy car platform and those roots show through in more ways than one. While it is among the better handling compact SUVs, it's not sporty. It drives more like a car than an SUV, but it has more body lean in turns than most cars. The electric-assist steering requires only a light effort, but it feels natural and direct with good road feel. In fact, the Rogue transmits more road feel to the driver through the steering wheel than most compact SUVs.
The ride is generally comfortable, but it can become busy on bumpy pavement and sharp ruts can give passengers a jolt. Perhaps the Rogue's biggest drawback is interior noise. The noises from rough pavement, bumps and potholes, and the engine are somewhat as we'd expect in an economy car. The Rogue seems like it could use more body insulation, though we realize that would add weight.
Like the CR-V, the Rogue offers only a four-cylinder engine; it makes 170 horsepower and is one of the better four-cylinder powerplants available today. It has the low-end punch to provide good pickup from a stop. Midrange power is adequate, but the Rogue needs to get going a bit for passing maneuvers.
The continuously variable transmission works well with the engine, quickly switching to an appropriate ratio for the driving conditions. The only way to tell that it's not a standard automatic is to floor the accelerator and keep it there. The transmission reacts by picking the ratio to put the engine in its optimum rev range and keeping it there.
The Rogue goes fairly easy on gas. With front-wheel drive, it is EPA-rated at 22/27 mpg City/Highway; AWD models are slightly lower at 21/26 mpg.
While the powertrain works well, it's best suited for around-town duty. The available six-cylinder RAV4 from Toyota is considerably faster. The Rogue is not built for towing, with a maximum capacity of only 1,500 pounds (with the dealer-installed towing package).
The Nissan Rogue matches the Honda CR-V for carlike road manners and fuel economy, though it's not as quiet on the inside and doesn't ride as smoothly. The Rogue is priced a little lower than the CR-V. It should be a good choice for drivers looking for a daily commuter with lots of cargo space. Drivers who tow boats and go off-road will want to consider more rugged vehicles such as the Nissan Xterra or Jeep Liberty.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Kirk Bell filed this report on the Nissan Rogue from Baltimore.

The following IRC Rule changes were approved by Congress in October 2017:
• In Rule 21.5 the 'default' values for mainsail widths have been deleted as this was inconsistent with the Rule on headsails.
• The Dayboat Definition and Rule 24 have been deleted, as IRC cannot and should not judge OSR compliance.
• The final sentence of Rule 8.2.1 has been corrected to reflect the intention of the Rule on short-handed certificates.
• Rule 13.2 has been changed in accordance with IRC Notice 2017-01, relating to sail measurement batten length.
• Rule 17.1 now clarifies that cushions are only relevant to measurement condition if carried while racing.
• Rules 21.2.1 (Rig Factor) and 22.2.1 (Hull Factor) have been updated to reflect actual practice.
• Definitions have been added for the measurement of lifting foils, to reflect the increased use of these and development of how they are rated.
• Other changes are: deletion of the IRC Headsail Head Point definition as this is now identically defined in ERS; a correction to the Advertising Code reference in Rule 26.1; and confirmation that in Southern Hemisphere countries the new IRC Rule does not come into force until June 2018 (the exception is Rule 13.2 as Notice 2017-01 applied with immediate effect from May 2017).

How many times have we looked at a Katie Holmes outfit and asked what is that f-ckedupNESS that you are wearing? Thank you Lafayette. We have Little Sci Suri Cruise to blame. At least that's what Katie says.
It's a new interview with New York Magazine under the pretence of "fall fashion" but really, they probably just wanted to get up close and observe her freaky zombie life for themselves. This after all is the woman who gifted us with the phrase: He makes my life. She's good for this sh-t. And she claims that it's her daughter, the Little Sci, who chooses her clothing:
"I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, "I want this sleeve cut," and it's like, "Okay, we'll cut it." She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn't planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, "Okay, I trust you."
Am attaching the Met Gala photos below.
What else can Little Sci do? Can she fly? Um, soon. The way Katie talks she's already developing a new branch of quantum physics. Here's my favourite part of this interview:
"Whatever (Suri) wants to do, I know she's going to be amazing at it. I've already started my applause, and I will be applauding for the rest of my life."
Like, that's how you know when something is really good. It not only makes your life, it has you applauding for the rest of your life. She'll be applauding for the GMD for the rest of her life.
"...I mean, he's Tom Cruise! His body of work is incredible. Every movie he's done has done really well. I look back, and everything's a classic. I definitely come home and say to him, "So, imagine a scene … how would you play it?" And he's helpful and sweet and gracious. He's quite an incredible human being."
You see how it's the same? The GMD is the same. For him it's all magnificent, marvellous, fantastic, incredible, amazing, terrific ...
Life is superlatives. Xenu speaks in superlatives. It's gush or go home. Only in KatE's case, she does it with half her brain mass removed. I can feel the hypnosis even through the word on the page. Click here for the full article.

The proposal of a universal mind mapping file format coming from a mainstream developer rather than a consultant/writer is rather significant though.
I certainly understand the leading mind mapping software developer, may indeed perceive this proposal as a threat to their established and most deployed/exchanged mapping format. And; for the smaller developers; this would simply be perceived as an open door to the larger developers market place.
Let's not forget about the users; they are the most important part of the process that enables the further use, development and evolution of all respective software products. The users are privately asking for some kind of standardized XML format that can be read across product range.
Regardless of the perception of this proposal; an open mind and forward thinking philosophy may be best rested upon for this proposal. The plethora of software products relating to mind mapping as a base graphical function and capability has, even until this time, struggled to break into the mainstream.
At this time; Mindjet, CS Odessa, NovaMind, ThinkBuzan, Simtech, Matchware, MindGenius and Seavus are to mention but a few (apologies if you're not mentioned here) product developers that are, and remain to be relevant. Cloud developers such as Comapping and Mindmeister are without a doubt leading the cloud Mind mapping revolution.
So maybe; just maybe this proposal by Gregory Zhukov as a mainstream software developer; may spark positive debate and an outcome that gains more exposure for mind-visual mapping products period.
So here's Gregory's proposal, it is verbatim of an email invite that was posted to quite a few developers and thought leaders within the mapping arena. And; I look forward to reading Gregory's input and feedback, which shall be posted as a new and separate blog post; in order to create a clear and unambiguous reply.

I'm and that is very stupidly and then quickly argued ... that ... might get that that that was a bit of consolation prize for the US ... it's what what what are the loves of complaints about these ... endorsements ... that ... well I've The arguments on that Friday at the register today we bought one of the central arguments what Obama did make good on its promise for bipartisanship on Friday the government report ... so I had her client was a young ... writer wash impose one of the leading high by twenty something liberals ... alike and I cant that that does with these read all the history of credit or open to students which they'll make this argument ... that it's outrageous that that when Obama for this because what this really shows is that ... the five Republican congressional leadership such a strategy of obstruction to keep it ... the fact that they've won the Stubbington Gorge is one one two potent anticipating ... that Romney will win the vote to recall ... so if I didn't need to do it what's not Obama's fault that I've that ... the Republicans didn't cooperate is less interesting because one of the arguments that Romney is taking down the stretch ... is to play up this sort of ... bipartisan ... credentials saying I was the governor of a blue stained worked with a largely Democratic legislature ... and got things done aam sounds like a refining company might be making the argument ... for Romney without realizing ... target is if you vote against Obama because he's failed to deliver the bipartisanship her awarding the Republicans for bad behavior ... the problem with this argument is ... that the Republicans don't operated about you know it takes two to tango ... by the Obama ad strategy is well and the region strategy failed is is basically because the public was on site ... I he he he derived out onto the board failed to what you did or didn't have the political skills to show people on it while it is ... the wide end up being a Republican advantage to oppose the stimulus to oppose Obamacare ... and so forth why can't I get a ticket contrast this with the quantum ... on Bill Clinton when people remember that Bill Clinton I've worked with the Republican Congress but he really only work with them after nineteen ninety six before about ... you can ... get them where they confronted him but ... he won because he of the public on the site to tame them and then he was able to work with ... finally exams are heading into this final weekend ... before the election I think ... the Republicans in Romney ... I ... think they're a ... pretty good position all things considered ... I'm and I were to talk about Paul but ... he really depends on what part of the port you believe that we told you believe ... by the strong point for the Republicans Romney didn't have a big lead on the weather report on independents ... I am so ...

A nearly $3 million renovation of Clinch Park, the most celebrated and prominent of Traverse City's West Bay beach areas, is in its final stages.
The new park includes a new terraced lawn area with stone sitting walls, interactive playground equipment, new site furniture and lighting, a kayak launch, a rebuilt and relocated TART trail, a splash pad and interactive outdoor water exhibit, a new park bathhouse with public restrooms, eight changing rooms and a concessions stand.
The pedestrian tunnel connecting the park to downtown Traverse City has also been reconstructed. Clinch Park is the first project tackled from the City's 2010 Bayfront Plan, a series of recommended improvements along the shoreline.
One of the major elements in the park, the 79-year-old vacant building that once housed the Con Foster Museum, is being redeveloped by the Traverse City Film Festival as the Bijou By The Bay, a 150-seat movie theatre that will be open seven days a week for at least one matinee and one evening show. The new venue will allow for at least 20 additional screenings to this year's film festival, slated for July 30 to Aug. 4.

Teaching at TU Wien - Imparting Competence
The education offered by TU Wien is rewarded by high international and domestic recognition. The chances for graduates for getting an attractive employment are very prosperous. The high demand for graduates of the TU Wien from economy and industry, governmental as well as research institutions are manifest evidence for this.
By establishing TUcareer, the Career-Center, in 2004 TU Wien made it even more easy for graduates to start a career.
Modern studies with great flexibility
The content of the teaching courses are actualized continuously and adjusted to the requirements by industry and economy. The contents in technical and natural sciences are completed by an offer of courses covering personality development and so called "soft skills" (e.g. foreign languages, management know-how, etc.). Students of the TU Wien are very flexible because of their solid know-how in technical and natural science. They get a solid basic knowledge in combination with a specific knowledge which can be chosen by each student subject to their personal interests. Great emphasis is also put on the participation of students in current research projects.
Multiplex range of studies
Students of the TU Wien can choose between several fields of study. They are offered with one exeption (teacher training programme) as bachelor and master programmes. Bachelor programmes last for 6 semesters. Master programmes can be completed within further 3 or 4 semesters following a bachelor programme or equivalent postgraduate degree.
According to its status as a university, TU Wien offers postgraduate doctoral programmes as a follow up to all master programmes. Besides the already well established doctoral programmes of Technical (DSc Tech) sciences and Science (DSc) social and economic affairs (DSocEcSc) has been introduced in 2004 as a new doctoral programme.
More emphasis is at the moment and will in the future be put on at the following three important accents: internationalization of education, e-learning and continuing education. These tasks are fulfilled by the approved International Office, the Teaching Support Center and the Continuing Education Center.
A detailed information on the admission is provided under Admission Office

Beketov is lucky to be alive, although I'm sure there are days when he
doesn't think so. On November 13, 2008, the environmental reporter who
campaigned against a highway that would have destroyed a forest in Khimki, a
town outside
Today, Beketov is confined to a wheelchair. He can no longer
speak. He can no longer write. His mind appears intact, however, and he took
great joy when we visited him at his
Through our Journalist Assistance program, CPJ has been providing Beketov with financial support since the attack. But it became clear to us during our visit that he will need care for the rest of his life. We pledged to help Beketov find the care he needs. We are currently researching options for underwriting long-term help, but in the interim CPJ will provide financial assistance.
We are seeking donations to CPJ's Journalists Assistance Fund, which will be used not only to support Beketov, but dozens of journalists around the world who are victims of violence and repression.
Here are a few examples:
CPJ helped Kalundi Robert Sserumaga, a well-known Ugandan journalist and author, with his medical bills and general support after local authorities detained him for four days on charges of sedition. While in state custody, Sserumaga was beaten, threatened with death, and denied medical attention.
Syrgak Abdyldayev, a Kyrgyz reporter, was stabbed and beaten in March 2009 by an unidentified attacker. Abdyldayev, a political reporter and commentator with the independent newspaper Reporter-Bishkek, was hospitalized with 21 stab wounds, two broken arms, and crushed shoulders. CPJ sent funds for medical treatment and general support.
Tika Bista, a reporter for the Nepalese local daily Rajdhani, was critically injured in a knife attack in December 2009. CPJ sent funds for emergency medical treatment and also helped support her family during her recovery.
All contributions to CPJ's Journalist Assistance Fund will go directly to journalists in need. CPJ already covers the full cost of administering the Journalist Assistance program, including researching cases, delivering financial assistance, and providing non-financial support including help with resettlement.
What this means is that every dollar that you contribute--whether its $500, $100, or $10--will go directly to journalists in need. And the entire amount is tax deductible. Please make a donation now to support CPJ's vital work.
Your gift may be worth double. If this is your first donation to CPJ, or you give more now than you've given before, CPJ Chairman Paul Steiger will match your contribution up to $500.

Lately when i've been on the the internet an error message pops up saying that i have performed and illegal operation. When i click ok, my browser closes (IE ver.6). After a few messages i shut down my computer. The next day when i turned it on my desktop background was gone and there was a message in the background saying that my active desktop had been shutdown. So i reactivated it by clicking on a help link. My mom ran a virus scan without me knowing and AVG Virus Scan found a .BAT extension file that was located in
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\CONTENT.IE5\PZV5FHV4\FLASH1~1.ZIP:\FLASH-BR.BAT
I read up a little on BAT files extension a i learned that they represent a DOS batch file, a text file made up of a string of DOS commands that run in sequence when the batch file is executed. I'm not sure if this file has been opened but i think it might have done some damage to my PC.
Any advice? Plz respond.

Child Safety Seats
Read the original story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Dozens of families took part in a car seat safety check this morning at Cal Expo.
Anchor Melissa Crowley joined experts from the California Highway Patrol and the U.C. Davis Medical Center in a team effort to help parents and grandparents keep their kids safe while riding in the car.
The teams checked each car seat brought into the Cal Expo parking lot to make sure it wasn't damaged or hadn't been recalled.
The biggest problem experts found involved seats that were too loose, big, or straps that were too low.
New seats were exchanged for those that had been compromised and were no longer safe.

Performance Tools
These software tools—developed with the support of Internet2 members—enhance the deployment and usefulness of high-performance networks. Forged in the context of Internet2's systems approach to networking and a commitment to open standards, these open-source tools provide capabilities that help realize the potential of existing network infrastructure, and make implementing new enterprise-wide services easier and more effective.
For additional information about these tools, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Also make sure to visit the Performance Initiative page, and consider collaborating in the Performance Working Group.
The pS-Performance Toolkit is a downloadable, pre-configured collection of network performance tools, including NDT, BWCTL, OWAMP and perfSONAR tools and services.
Bandwidth Test Controller (BWCTL)
BWCTL is a command-line client application and a scheduling and policy daemon that wraps Iperf and Thrulay.
Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT)
NDT is a user-friendly client/server program that provides network configuration and performance testing to a user's desktop or laptop computer.
One-Way Ping (OWAMP)
OWAMP is a command-line client application and a policy daemon used to determine one-way latencies between hosts.
The main feature is a Web100-enhanced Linux kernel that facilitates the use of several network tools without the need to configure and compile this advanced component. This disk features several performance tools pre-installed and configured to a working state:
- BWCTL - Bandwidth Test Controller
- NDT - Network Diagnostic Tool
- OWAMP - One-way Ping
- pS-Performance Toolkit
BWCTL is a command line client application and a scheduling and policy daemon that wraps tools such as Iperf, thrulay, and nuttcp. Currently BWCTL wraps these tools by actually executing the respective command line program on the system. The bwctl client application works by invoking instances on the two test endpoint systems. BWCTL will work as a 3-party application. The client can arrange a test between two servers on two different systems. If the local system is intended to be one of the endpoints of the test a local instance is not required, BWCTL will detect that there is no local server and execute the required functionality directly. The daemon manages and schedules the resources of the host on which it runs.
The pS-Performance Toolkit contains the latest release candidate of BWCTL. The daemon is started by default with a wide open authentication and resource protection scheme. It is recommended that the deploying party review this to ensure it matches local security policies
The Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) is a client/server program that provides network configuration and performance testing to a user's desktop or laptop computer. The system is composed of a client program (command line or java applet) and a pair of server programs (a web server and a testing/analysis engine). Both command line and web-based clients communicate with a Web100-enhanced server to perform these diagnostic functions. Multi-level results allow novice and expert users to view and understand the test results.
The pS-Performance Toolkit contains the latest versions of NDT and of the NDT applet. All installation, including integration of the Web100-enabled linux kernel, is complete and operational as the disk comes online. Minor configuration is necessary, but is performed as a part of the general configuration steps described in Installation and Configuration.
OWAMP is a command line client application and a policy daemon used to determine one way latencies between hosts. It is an implementation of the OWAMP protocol as defined by http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4656.txt.
With roundtrip-based measurements, it is hard to isolate the direction in which congestion is experienced. One-way measurements solve this problem and make the direction of congestion immediately apparent. Since traffic can be asymmetric at many sites that are primarily producers or consumers of data, this allows for more informative measurements. One-way measurements allow the user to better isolate the effects of specific parts of a network on the treatment of traffic.
The pS-Performance Toolkit contains the latest version of OWAMP. The daemon is started by default with a wide open authentication and resource protection scheme. It is recommended that the deploying party review this to ensure it matches local security policies.
There are no fees associated with the set of performance tools described here.
pS-Performance Toolkit can be downloaded here.
Bandwidth Test Controller (BWCTL) can be downloaded here.
Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) can be downloaded here.
One-Way Ping (OWAMP) can be downloaded here.
