Have pages always centred
Use a clean and straightforward animated menu bar on the left hand side. It should be permanently accessible.
The menu bar should appear on all pages, making it easy to navigate the site.
The home page should be centred horizontally and vertically in the browser window.
The background should use scaled tones as on the current jetfly site, but with no logos or photos (no clouds)
For the home page, the client likes the heading 'Your private Air travel System' as in contest #17
The top menu bar should not be too high and the typeface not too large.
The logo should be in the top left of the window, aligned with the top menu bar, such that it does not appear to be above the base line of the menu..

Rush guitar god Alex Lifeson turns 60 on August 27. A founding member of Rush, he's dazzled over numerous albums, adapted his guitar style, and has seen Rush go from one of the most "uncool" bands on the planet to… actually, quite a cool band really.
Rush do their own thing, whether you love them or hate them. What's never been in doubt is the trio's musicianship. Geddy Lee (bass/vocals) and Neil Peart (drums/lyrics) are regularly voted "best ever" rock players in their field, and understandably so.
But does Alex Lifeson get the props he deserves? Maybe not so much. So as it's his birthday, here's a salute to Alex Lifeson of Rush.
Alex Lifeson's Gibson Guitars – ES series
Lifeson was lucky enough for his first "proper" electric guitar to be a Gibson ES-335. "I was into people like [Jefferson Airplane's] Jorma Kaukonan, and Alvin Lee," he told Premier Guitar. "And that guitar was always a beautiful guitar. I've always really liked that whole '60s San Francisco music scene, and that guitar was probably the prevalent guitar at that time. So to me it seemed like a natural place to go. And I just grew with the instrument."
In the '80s and '90s, Lifeson dabbled with other makes, but now he's back on Gibsons. Rush fans audibly cheer louder when Lifeson straps on his white Gibson ES-355.
"I got that [white ES-355] in 1976, so I've had that guitar for quite some time, and I used it almost exclusively from that period up until around the late '70s. And I guess maybe that it's so connected to me? That white 355, you really don't see them around. I can't think of anybody else that uses that particular model. "
Lifeson's original '70s ES-355 had a "small" neck, but 2011's "Inspired By" Gibson ES-355 had a thicker one, "almost like a Les Paul." Lifeson says." This was a model that was probably more in the background of their [Gibson's] catalog. So it was nice to bring that to the forefront, because it really is such a beautiful instrument. It just sounds great."
Lifeson also became known in the '70s for his use of a double-neck Gibson ES-1275, just like Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. "I loved everything about Jimmy Page," he admits. "The way he looked, the way he played, everything. And certainly his use of the double-neck got a lot of exposure; you probably saw more pictures of Led Zeppelin with him playing that than probably anything else."
Alex Lifeson's Gibson Guitars – Les Pauls
Lifeson used Les Pauls early on in Rush's career, and recently returned to the Gibson Les Paul family with his signature Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess. "I've always been drawn to the Gibson sound," says Lifeson. Here's a great video from Musician's Friend where Alex talks about his Les Paul Axcess. The additions of a piezo pickup and a Floyd-Rose vibrato were key for Alex, as were the push/pull pots.
Lifeson has also used a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion quite a lot. "A hollowbody, it looked like an oversized Les Paul, and it had a nice balance to it when you played it. So it had all the things that I looked for in a guitar, and it's still one of my favorite guitars to play to this day. I think all of "Tom Sawyer" is on that guitar."
A Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion model is no stranger to rock guitar –Rik Emmett used one as his main guitar on Triumph's Allied Forces album.
Alex Lifeson's Guitar Style
Lifeson is one of rock's premier players who are instantly recognizable and unique. His many fans even talk about "the Alex chord." It can vary depending on which fan you ask, but it's usually a moveable sus2 or sus4, often with open higher (B and E) strings. F#7sus4 is a favorite "Alex chord." It features a lot in "Hemispheres" and "Xanadu." Suspended powerchords also feature large in "Tom Sawyer." Lifeson's chords and his counterpoint to Geddy Lee's bass are key to Rush's sound.
Harmonics are also a Lifeson staple: listen to "Hemispheres" or the intro to "Red Barchetta" (which also features plenty of suspended chords.)
Hammer-on/pull-off riffs are also key – listen to "The Spirit of Radio" and "YYZ."
On his soloing ethos, Lifeson told Guitarist, "I try to look at it in context with the whole song, how does the solo relate to the song rather than to the previous passage, although you do have to make that latter connection it must marry comfortably. For me, when I get into soloing, I look more at the solo as the statement of the song. I try to draw from that some kind of emotional foundation, so it grabs you and ties you into what else is going on, rather than being a showcase for dexterity."
Three Solos to Listen To?
Lifeson told MusicRadar.com his favorite three Rush solos are:
1. "Limelight" (1981)
"I love the elasticity of the solo. It's a very emotional piece of music for me to play. The song is about loneliness and isolation, and I think the solo reflects that… Each time I'm about to play it, I take a deep breath and I exhale on that first note. I guess that sounds corny, but for me, it releases something."
"It's the opposite of "Limelight" - it's got a hip, kind of slinky attitude, a little goofy humor… I never have a plot in mind when I'm recording solos; I always just kind of wing them. The "Kid Gloves" solo guided me. It's like it knew what it wanted to be and I just had to allow myself to follow."
3. "Freewill" (1980)
"It's a really hard solo to play. I think I feel a certain amount of pride in that fact alone. Every time I play it, I'm amazed I got through it. It's so frenetic and exciting. The rhythm section too - Geddy and Neil are all over the place. It's probably one of the most ambitious pieces of music Rush has ever done. In a sense, everybody's soloing at the same time."

1. His birth name is Aleksandar Živojinović. His parents were from Serbia. "Živojinović" means "son of life" in Serbian.
2. He was the first member of Rush to release a full studio album outside of the band, 1996's Victor.
3. Lifeson made his film debut as himself under his birth name in the 1972 Canadian documentary film Come on Children.

Orchard Nails opened in Corona, Calif., when the economy was at its worst, but co-owner Thomas Irwin says this meant the salon had "nowhere to go but up."
Seeing a lack of affordable, but higher-end salons in their city of Corona in Southern California, business owners Thomas Irwin and Alex Hanshaw opened Orchard Nails in October 2007. With no previous knowledge of the beauty industry, the two have learned about services, brands, and customer service, and worked through cultural differences to survive. Voted Best Nail Salon in the Inland Empire by MyFoxLA's HotList, Orchard Nails is thriving while neighboring salons slash prices and offer discounts, says Irwin.
Thomas Irwin and Alex Hanshaw own a dry cleaning business, and when an opportunity to open another business across the street arose, they chose to focus on nails.
According to Irwin, inspiration came from a neighboring discount salon that was always busy. With Orchard Nails, however, they wanted to raise the bar in cleanliness, atmosphere, and customer service. "We ended up creating a neat spa environment that a lot of people were hungry for," Irwin says.
Hanshaw's design for the salon is framed around pressed-glass bamboo sheets and earthy colors with splashes of orange. To create privacy for clients, the salon is separated into three sections divided by bamboo partitions: the reception area, a service room that houses four spa chairs and three manicure stations, and a second room that has five spa chairs, two manicure stations, and a drying station.
A state-of-the-art ventilation system neutralizes the smell of acrylics and the salon offers a "Squeaky Clean Promise" that all instruments used are autoclaved.
Orchard Nails offers rechargeable gift cards that have been a huge hit. According to Irwin, "If there's a Mother's Day, or Valentine's Day, or Christmas gift to be purchased, this is the place to come."
"Addicted to Orchard Nails" rewards cards are also available for loyal clients, offering a 4% credit for every service that can go toward future services or gift cards.
While the salon is now flourishing, Irwin says they had a lot to learn about the nail industry, from figuring out the big brands to creating the salon's service menu, which started out small and has since expanded.
Services range from the basic spa-style manicure and pedicure, which uses a generic label product, to more comprehensive packages such as the Orchard signature manicure and pedicure. "Our menu has expanded over the last two years because I've learned about CND and OPI, and we're trying to change over everything to better quality pedicure and manicure systems," Irwin says.
Irwin thinks demand for acrylics probably won't go away, even though the introduction of OPI's Axxium soak-off gels into the salon has clients calling in from up to 35 miles away. In addition, Orchard began using CND's Shellac in early May.
One of the challenges they still face is keeping on schedule. Irwin emphasizes that salon policy is never to rush nail techs working with clients. Clients deciding to upgrade their service last-minute to one that takes longer also results in time crunches.
Another challenge was finding the right nail technicians for the salon. "Because the industry is dominated by a different culture, the relationship between me and my employees was definitely a challenge. It's not anymore, but it was at the beginning," he says.

Folau can be 'next big thing'
FORMER Greater Western Sydney recruit turned Waratah Israel Folau has the potential to follow in Sonny Bill Williams' footsteps and be ''a real star'' at Super Rugby and Test level, says World Cup-winning All Black Richard Kahui.
Kahui, who played alongside Williams in the Chiefs' midfield during last year's Super Rugby tournament, was in no doubt Folau had the tools to emulate the Sydney Roosters-bound centre. ''You saw Sonny and the strides he made in Super Rugby and I think Israel Folau can be the same and be the next big thing,'' he said.
''Obviously, he [Folau] was a phenomenal [rugby] league player and then made the transition to AFL, so there will be a lot of things he would have picked up playing AFL - work rate, his kicking game, things like that.
''I think he could potentially be a real star in Super Rugby and international rugby.''
Kahui, who plays at outside-centre for the Chiefs but was one of the World Cup's outstanding wingers, said Folau could play in several positions but felt his immediate future was at outside-centre or wing.

Tesla Looking at California as Site for Battery Factory
State Lawmakers Propose Tax Breaks, Regulation Changes That May Speed Construction, Lower Costs
Tesla Motors Inc. is taking a closer look at California to build a giant electric-car battery factory after state lawmakers proposed new tax breaks and regulatory changes that could speed its construction and lower costs.
California is already the auto maker's corporate headquarters and where it builds its $71,000 and up electric cars. But the company in February had omitted the state from a list of potential sites for a new plant, which would build advanced batteries for its electric vehicles....

Toops' Scoops: Cool Delights at a Hot 2011 IFT
New food and beverage product prototypes keep us coming back for more.
My favorite part of attending IFT is tasting and writing about the prototype food and beverages that supplier companies develop to showcase their ingredients; the worse part is not having the time to taste them all.
Suppliers outdo themselves every year to come up with innovative and healthy product ideas that fit into consumer trends. Many of these are so delicious or well thought-out they belong on retail shelves. This year was no different.
We salute them and apologize to those we missed because we were time-impaired.
Chef John Csukor developed extruded gluten-free and vegan Almond Cereal Stix for the Almond Board of California (www.almondboard.com). It's an inspired breakfast creation packed with flavor and crunch. Incorporated three different almond forms – whole almonds, almond flour and almond milk -- it is designed to stay crackly-crisp in a bowl of milk or mixed with yogurt and sweet dried berries. All it needs is a retail box.
I loved Archer Daniels Midland Co.'s www.adm.com Orange Mango Protein Cooler made with Clarisoy 100, the world's first vegetable-based protein that offers clarity and complete protein nutrition for low pH beverage systems (in applications with a pH below 4.0, it is 100 percent soluble). The cooler contains 6g of protein, 0g of fat and 50 percent real juice from white grape, orange and mango. ADM's cocoa and chocolate brand deZaan was celebrating 100 years, so to commemorate the occasion, ADM shared some rich, indulgent chocolate truffles – Dark, White and Milk -- made with pure deZaan Belgian chocolate.
Blueberries are the perfect ingredients in New Orleans because they are both big and easy. U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council's (www.blueberry.org) 2Bite-Bar for on-the-go attendees really hit the spot. Chock full of blueberries, these bite-sized bars kept moist, had mouth-watering flavor and provided real fruit benefits and product authenticity – attributes consumers love. Blueberries, available year-round in many forms (whole, fresh or dried; as puree, concentrate or juice; and freeze dried or osmotically preserved) can brighten gluten-free formulations, harmonize with ancient grains, work well in products ranging from sweet to savory, and help fortify products with antioxidants
Cargill (www.cargill.com) had a great Sausage Pizza, made with reduced-sodium marinara sauce, pizza crust, sausage crumbles and mozzarella cheese, one of my favorite tastings. It featured Cargill's FlakeSelect sodium reduction system, resulting in great-taste with 35 percent less sodium than traditional pizza and the benefits of MaizeWise whole grain corn flour. Zeroing in on a cool drink, I imbibed Zero Calorie Lemon-Lime Soda, which has great mouthfeel and tasted like it had mega calories.
Corn Products International and National Starch Food Innovation (www.foodinnovation.com) combined their expertise and served up some great prototypes. My favorites were Greek-style Yogurt made without costly straining, but with the extra thick texture thanks to new Novation Indulge 3340 (which also results in a clean label). I'm Greek, so I'm pretty fussy about yogurt texture, and this was terrific. I also enjoyed the gluten-fee Cranberry Almond Breakfast Bar with Expandex modified starch (for optimal texture and appearance) and fortified with Aquamin calcified mineral source for bone health and overall wellness.
D.D. Williamson (www.ddwilliamson.com) offers a wide array of natural colorings, along with its popular caramel color. In order to help improve the allure of beverages through visual appeal, it featured yummy Caramel-berry and Choco-berry juice drinks to showcase its newest products, acid-proof Class One caramel color, acid-proof caramelized sugar flavor and certified organic annatto extracts.
McIlhenny Co.'s Tabasco (www.tabascoingredients.com) brand livened up its regional Creole and Cajun favorites with some hot new, tasty ideas which knocked our socks off, including Tchoupitoulas Mac & Cheese with crawfish and andouille sausage, Fire & Iced Tabasco Coffee topped with whipped cream, and King Cake spiked with Tabasco.
Virginia Dare's (www.virginiadare.com) Garden of Flavors included a taste bonanza of beverages that showcased the company's vanilla, various masking flavors, assorted tea varietals and floral flavors such as lavender, elderberry and honeysuckle. My favorite was Tangerine Lemon Lavender Rooibos. And one of the most creative concepts there was a Veggie and Fruit Ice Pop, 40 percent fruit and 60 percent veggies – stealth health at its tastiest.
A delicious, silky textured, peach-flavored High Protein Yogurt Smoothie from Fonterra Ingredients (www.fonterra.com) really hit the spot. Designed to enable manufacturers to double or triple the protein content of yogurt without compromising the product's sensory experience, it contained 26g of ElevateProtein 515 Whey Protein Concentrate. It has a great satiety factor, and a shelf-stable version would be an ideal option for aging baby boomers.
Strawberry Sunrise Waffle, a nutritious, protein- and calcium-packed, yogurt-infused waffle topped with strawberry yogurt sauce, is a great idea for breakfast from the U.S. Dairy Export Council (www.InnovateWithDairy.com). It contains 60 percent of the daily value of protein and calcium per half a waffle. Or if you are in a hurry, how about a Cucumber Lemon Yogurt Drink, containing probiotics and dairy proteins. An excellent source of calcium, it has 40 percent of the daily value per serving. Milk permeate (dairy products solids) replaced salt without sacrificing saltiness.

VANCOUVER — In order to be focused on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk said he was operating in the complete radio silence after the Bruins won Game 6 Monday night.
Boychuk had been involved in an unfortunate collision with Vancouver defenseman Mason Raymond early in Boston's season-saving Game 6 victory and many were demonizing him for the play that resulted in Raymond suffering a vertebrae compression.
Despite his concern for Raymond's health and the boos raining down on him at Rogers Arena last night, Boychuk was able to focus and form a solid second pair of defensemen with Andrew Ference in the Bruins' Cup-clinching 4-0 win. He was a plus-2 with two hits.
"I didn't look at the paper, I didn't do nothing," said Boychuk after the victory. "I'm just happy he's going to be OK, he's able to walk. That's the absolute last thing I'd ever want anybody in the whole world … to hurt him like that."
Raymond showed up to cheer on his Canucks teammates and was shown on the Jumbotron wearing a back brace. Boychuk, meanwhile, battled through his own adversity this postseason. At one point he was on the ice for seven consecutive goals against — a fact he really does care to talk about.
"It was just bad luck. And now I'm a champion," said Boychuk, who in 25 postseason games finished with 3-6-9 totals and an impressive plus-12 rating. "You can say all you want about those seven goals. Nobody's going to remember it. They're going to remember us hoisting the Cup."
An avid Red Sox fan, Boychuk's hoping his new-found status as a champion will earn him a VIP invite to Fenway Park this summer.
"I hope so. I can't wait to sit on The Monster again," he said.
After helping the Bruins win the Cup, Boychuk can probably pick any seat he wants in New England.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) – The Australian government said Tuesday it will spend 64 million Australian dollars ($60 million) on measures to counter violent extremism and radicalization as Islamic State continues to recruit foreign fighters to its ranks in Iraq and Syria.
The measures include strengthened community engagement programs aimed at preventing young Australians from becoming involved with extremist groups and new multi-agency investigation teams to disrupt foreign fighters and their supporters.
The Australian government is giving high priority to reducing the domestic terrorism threat created by homegrown extremists who travel to Syria and Iraq to fight.
Australia and the United State will raise at the United Nations General Assembly in September the need for governments to cooperate against the common threat.
"This is the highest national security risk that we face and we will not rest until we are sure that the Australian people are safe and secure from it," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Parliament.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said at least 60 Australians were fighting for Islamic State overseas, and another 100 were working or fund-raising within Australia to support the al-Qaida offshoot group and other terror groups.
Islamic leaders have complained that Australia's Muslim minority is being unfairly targeted by draconian counterterrorism measures, such as a proposed new onus on Australians traveling to terrorism hotbeds to prove that they had legitimate reasons for going there.
But Abbott said Muslims were not being targeted.
"I want to make it absolutely crystal clear that the enemy here is terrorism, it's not any particular faith, it's not any particular community," Abbott told Parliament.
A poll published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday found that 77 percent of respondents supported laws that would require travelers to prove that they had no contact with terrorist groups while overseas. Another 18 percent opposed the move and 5 percent were undecided.
The poll by Sydney-based market researcher Newspoll was based on a random, nationwide telephone survey of 1,207 voters last weekend. It has 3 percentage point margin of error.

This is now a major problem as many devices such as keyboards and monitors now feature built-in USB hubs, which provide additional downstream USB ports. However, bandwidth is still limited by the single upstream connection to the computer.
This may not be a critical issue for rarely used devices, but it is a major concern for those who depend on USB connections for headsets, webcams, and data transfers. Many new motherboards now come with USB 3.0 ports, but limited PCIe bandwidth on the motherboards mean that there are usually only a few SuperSpeed ports, leaving early adopters in the cold.
VIA Technologies has unveiled its VL810 SuperSpeed Hub Controller, the industry's first integrated single chip USB 3.0 hub that support one upstream and four downstream ports. It is built on a 80nm process, which is not unexpected considering many USB 2.0 hubs are built on a 180 or 130 nm process. Expect the new chip to be used in next generation computer monitors and keyboards.
"The growing emphasis on high-definition multimedia content is placing increasing demands on current data transfer technologies," said Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing for VIA Technologies. "SuperSpeed USB not only makes transferring HD video files, high pixel count digital photos, and backing up hard drives quick and easy, but VIA's new hub controller allows consumers to get the most out of the technology by expanding the capacity of PC systems."

"Innovation in Action" at Emmanuel College
In an ever-changing world, Emmanuel College provides an innovative academic environment that sustains the pace.
Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls: A Family Story from Southie and Easter Rising: A Memoir of Roots and Rebellion, discussed "Finding Peace and Justice in Southie," at the annual Catherine McLaughlin Hakim Lecture on Tuesday, October 16th in the Janet M. Daley Library Lecture Hall.
Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls: A Family Story from Southie and Easter Rising: A Memoir of Roots and Rebellion, discussed "Finding Peace and Justice in Southie," at the annual Catherine McLaughlin Hakim Lecture on October 16th in the Janet M. Daley Library Lecture Hall.
MacDonald grew up in South Boston's Old Colony housing project. After losing four siblings and seeing his generation decimated by poverty, crime and addiction in the years following Boston's busing riots, he became a leading Boston activist, helping to launch many antiviolence initiatives, including gun-buyback programs.
During the lecture, MacDonald read selections from both of his books, including an excerpt from Easter Rising that he considered a turning point in his life and his battle with post-traumatic stress, a session with an empathic therapist in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. He also offered insight into the aftermath of writing All Souls and the mixed feelings the exposition created in his hometown. Some were angry, some were proud, but mostly, people wanted to know, "How did you get out?" MacDonald explained. The question was the driving force for writing Easter Rising. While the beginning of the book focuses on how he separated himself from everything that he came from, the second half of the story is about returning to "Southie," and why "getting out" wasn't his ultimate goal.
"It wasn't the end of 'Good Will Hunting' where he gets in a car and drives to California and that's the end of Southie," MacDonald said. "This stuff doesn't go away, no matter how far you run. So for me, it wasn't so much about getting out, it was about stepping outside of the chaos and then being able to return home to embrace every single thing that I come from, and to use it to transform myself and any community that I'm living in. To do community work, to do social change work, using all those experiences I have had.
"It's about the ability to work with some of the best qualities to change some of the worst qualities of the place that you come from. It isn't just about Southie, it's about any community that I find myself in, whether I am living there or working there or speaking there."
MacDonald won the American Book Award in 2000, and has written numerous essays for the Boston Globe Op-Ed Page and has completed the screenplay of All Souls for director Ron Shelton. He is currently Author-in-Residence at Northeastern University and lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. He continues to work for social change nationally, collaborating with survivor families and young people.
The Catherine McLaughlin Hakim Lecture Series is an annual lecture series established by Dr. Raymond Hakim in honor of his late wife, Catherine McLaughlin Hakim '70. A sociology major at Emmanuel, Catherine studied under longtime sociology professor Sister Marie Augusta Neal, SND, who left an especially indelible mark on her student experience. The lecture series commemorates Catherine's life, her fondness for Emmanuel, and the relationships she formed at the College and continued to maintain throughout her life. The Catherine McLaughlin Hakim Lecture Series is sponsored by the Department of Sociology. Lectures focus on issues of sociology, social justice and public policy on the local, national and international levels.
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what's possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.

Occupation Operations supervisor
The portfolio
Includes mutual funds and shares in Apple Inc., Facebook Inc. and McDonald's Corp.
The investor
Besides managing his own investments, David Zanoni publishes stock analyses online.
TipRanks.com puts his picks in the top 1 per cent of the 7,600 analysts or bloggers it follows.
How he invests
Mr. Zanoni is using dollar-cost averaging (deposits made at regular intervals) to build positions in low-cost mutual funds for his retirement fund. This is the approach used in many pension plans. It spares him the emotional ups and downs of trying to time the buying and selling of stocks.
His non-core portfolio is another matter. It's not as essential to his retirement, so he is comfortable with picking individual stocks in that account.
He made a bullish recommendation on auto-parts manufacturer Magna International Inc. in a seekingalpha.com article published on Jan. 3, but hasn't yet bought shares. Its stock is up about 7 per cent since, thanks in part to a 15-per-cent dividend hike announced in late February.
Magna should benefit from an upward trend in vehicle sales, fuelled by lower gas prices and job growth in the United States.
Also, the average age of automobiles in the U.S. is historically high at more than 11 years - so a lot of autos need to be replaced.
At the beginning of 2015, Magna stock was trading below 11 times analysts' estimates for next year's earnings. The comparable figure for S&P 500 companies was 17.
Magna is buying back $20-million in shares, Mr. Zanoni adds.
And there appears to be room for more increases in its dividend (now yielding 1.3 per cent) since the dividend-payout ratio is below 25 per cent.
Best move
Starting to invest in his 20s (he is now in his 40s) and reaping the benefits of compounding over the long term.
Worst move
When just starting to invest, he bought a stock on a co-worker's tip. It went to zero and left him resolved to do his own research before investing in a company.
Mr. Zanoni recommends dollarcost averaging "to grow wealth over the long term" in retirement plans. He adds: "Buy individual stocks to make things more interesting, but understand what you are investing in."

GeneBallantyne on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
Looking for the parents and grandparents of John Ballantyne (1784-1846)
My g3-grandfather, John Ballantyne, and his wife, Janet Matilda Turnbull Ballantyne (1786-1870), came from Roxburghshire, Scotland, to Illinois/Texas in 1841, as part of the Mormon migration. We believe that John's parents were Thomas and Janet Inglis Ballantyne, but we have no real information about them, and know nothing of their progenitors.
Looking for the parents of Peter Gunsolley
Peter Gunsolley and wife Abigail Faunce, are my great-great-grandparents. Peter came from Geauga County, Ohio, to Illinois/Iowa as part of the Mormon migration in about 1836. His last name may come from Consaulis, Gonsaulis, Consaulis-Duk, or Gonsaulis-Duk. Peter may have been from the upstate Dutch counties of New York. The family name may have originally been Gonzalez and have been started in the Netherlands by people (Jews?) expelled from inquisition-dominated Spain.
Looking for Lydia Rice Barton
I believe that Lydia Rice Barton may be the granddaughter of Nathan Barton (1734-1795) and Lydia Rice (1744-1814). Lydia Rice is the daughter of John Rice (1704-?) and Anna Sanderson (?-?). Nathan Barton is the son of Joshua Barton (1697-1793) and wife Anne (?). Locations in all cases appear to be Massachusetts.
Jennet Turnbull and her father Andrew Turnbull in Scotland
My G(3)grandmother Jennet (Turnbull) Ballantyne came to the U.S. from Scotland with my G(3)grandfather and her husband, John Ballantyne, in the mid-1800's. Jennet's father, who didn't leave Scotland, was married to Helen Douglas. That is all of the information that I have about them. I'm looking for more.
Looking for Thomas Ballantyne in Scotland in mid-1800's
My G(4)grandfather was Thomas Ballantyne from near Roxburgh, Scotland, and he was married to Janet Inglis. They were each born around 1800. My G(3)grandfather, John, and much of his family left to come to the U.S. as part of the Mormon migration. I haven't been able to find any significant information about what happened to Thomas and the rest of his family.
Ballantyne's associated with the Latter Day Saint (Mormon) Church
My branch of the Ballantyne family came to the U.S. as part of the Mormon movement just before the Civil War. My Great(3)grandfather John Ballantyne came with his family from Roxburgh, Scotland, to become a member of Joseph Smith's new church. After Joseph was killed, my grandfather and at least part of the family went with Lyman Wight to Texas to establish the church there. That effort failed after several years and, upon Lyman Wight's, death some of the Ballantynes returned to the North, settling in Iowa and Missouri. John's son James was my Great(2)grandfather and he settled near Moorhead, Iowa, in Western Iowa. His son, John Oriondamus Ballantyne, settled there also. He was father to my grandfather, Fred N. Ballantyne.
My family Gunsolley connection
My paternal grandmother was Sylvia Hawley, daughter of Isaac Zimri Hawley and Jerusha Gunsolley. Sylvia married Fred N. Ballantyne, my grandfather. I don't have the dates and places yet so I will add those later. Jerry (sp?) Gunsolley was, I believe, Jerusha's brother. He was a professor at Graceland College (now Graceland University) in Lamoni, Iowa, and one of the buildings on campus is named after him.

The death of an ailing woman who was refused an abortion in an Irish hospital has inflamed longstanding concern about Ireland's tight restrictions on when women can terminate a pregnancy.
Praveen Halappanavar told the Irish Times that his wife, Savita, was suffering intense pain and had been told her baby would not survive. Upset but resigned to losing her child, she was denied an abortion despite repeated pleas with their Galway hospital as she suffered shakes and vomiting, Halappanavar told the newspaper.
"The consultant said it was the law, that this is a Catholic country. Savita said, 'I am neither Irish nor Catholic,' but they said there was nothing they could do," Halappanavar told the newspaper from India.
As long as the fetus still had a heartbeat, the husband said they were told, an abortion was illegal. Days later, the heartbeat stopped and the remains were removed, but Halappanavar grew sicker, eventually dying of blood poisoning, her husband told the Irish Times.

- I will fill out this list when I feel the need to write down what I don't want
- The new design should not be called v2. It will be v3.


text: In a surprise move, a starting pitcher for the Tribe hit the DL today...but his name wasn't Carsten. Jake Westbrook was placed on the 15-day DL with a rib cage strain - this just after going all 9 innings of Saturday's game in Minnesota without a hint of any kind of injury. In his place, the Indians promoted The Ben Francisco Treat - but it's not too likely they'll be asking him to throw every 5th day, so follow the logic on this announcement and what it likely portends. With Westbrook's injury, Lee and Byrd obviously move up in the rotation and can pitch with their regular rest this week thanks to Monday's off day. So the pitching schedule will look like this: Tonight - Sabathia Wednesday - Carmona Thursday - Lee Friday - Byrd Saturday's game against the Yankees (nationally televised, no less) is where the Indians will need a replacement starter for the rotation. As mentioned here previously, Aaron Laffey (who pitched last Saturday's game for the Herd, the same day that Westbrook pitched against the Twins) has proven by his performance in Buffalo that he should be ready to step into the spot vacated by a starter (surprisingly Jake, not C.C.) due to injury. Until Saturday, though, the Indians have time to determine what player is not long for the 25-man roster, being effectively replaced by The Frisco Kid today. In effect, instead of promoting Laffey today, the Indians get themselves another position player and (unless Francisco is sent down on Saturday, which I can't even get my sometimes-circular logic to buy) have about four days to jettison a player on the 25-man roster, either via trade or being designated for assignment. The two most logical candidates would be Jason Michaels (which was addressed here) and Andy Marte, who the team has shown no interest in playing to this point. If it is indeed Michaels, then I suppose being late to the party is better than never arriving at all. However, if it is Marte, then the Indians' brass better have some hard data and reasoning as to why Marte was never given more than the 57 at-bat tryout that he went through a year ago before deeming him unworthy of sticking in an organization without many other viable 3B alternatives for this year, and certainly next year after being so universally highly thought of when being traded from Atlanta to Boston, then to Cleveland - all for MLB talent. Is placing your second best pitcher (thus far this year) on the DL the preferred method of shaking up the roster? Absolutely not, but if the injury brought all of the simmering ineffectiveness to the surface in terms of the team having to make a move, in addition to having the luxury of buying a couple of days to figure out who just drew the short straw, consider the first domino felled. For now, we'll hope that Westbrook's injury doesn't have the same effect that the oblique strains had on his 2007 season (or that of C.P. Lee last year) and wait, with baited breath, to see how (or is it if?) Francisco is ingratiated into the lineup as well as waiting for the news of which position player is on their way off of the 25-man prior to Laffey's start Saturday against the Bronx Bombers.

At this point, we're roughly 100 hours out from the official unveiling of the HTC Ville (HTC One S), but that doesn't mean there's nothing new to report. It turns out someone has been playing around with HTC's new handset and decided to see what it was capable of by running the NenaMark2 benchmark.
Previous to today's numbers, the highest scoring HTC device on the NenaMark2 has been the myTouch 4G Slide, which averaged a mediocre 46.44 with its dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S3 chip. So how did the HTC Ville fair with the new 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip? The three-score average for the Ville is listed at 57.4 with a high score of 60.6, capturing the second spot on the NenaMark2 global rank chart. The only device with a higher average score of 60.1 is an Android Reference Design handset equipped with a Vivante GC4000 GPU.
We've already gone over the benefits of Qualcomm's new Snapdragon S4 chips, but it's still nice to see real benchmark numbers from production handsets that back up Qualcomm's claim of the improved processing capabilities in the new 28nm SoC architecture.
The guys over at AnandTech have put Qualcomm's Mobile Development Platform with its MSM8960 chip (same chip that powers the HTC Ville) through a few more benchmarks and have done a great job of comparing it to the performance of NVIDIA's Tegra 3. Their final conclusion is that the dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 chip holds a performance advantage over the quad-core Tegra 3 when it comes to everyday tasks, while both platforms are competitive in GPU benchmarks.
Qualcomm's strengths are clearly single/lightly threaded CPU performance as Krait is able to offer some significant steps forward in that department. Tegra 3 can hold onto an advantage in heavily threaded apps, but I'm not entirely convinced that in phones we'll see a lot of that.Anand Lal Shimpi AnandTech
Many of you are patiently waiting to see what HTC, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, Motorola and LG will be unveiling at Mobile World Congress. What we really want to know is what chip you really want in your next Android phone. Is the reduced power consumption and increased CPU performance of Qualcomm's new chip architecture a better option than the crazy graphical performance the Tegra 3 chip is capable of with its quad-core processor?

Armour Thyroid Savings Tips
Fill a 90-Day Supply to Save
You may find that filling a 90-day supply will reduce your total cost for this prescription. As an added bonus, you'll make fewer trips to the pharmacy, saving you time and money.
If you have insurance or Medicare, you may find that you receive lower prices if you fill your prescriptions through your plan's mail order pharmacy. Many insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) are now offering similar rates at a select group of "preferred" retail pharmacies. Some plans may require that you fill through a mail order pharmacy for fills of more than a 30-day supply.
To switch to 90-day fills, note that you'll need a new prescription from your doctor; a 30-day quantity prescription will not allow 90-day fills.
Patient Assistance Program
Many programs are available from federal and state governments, non-profits, manufacturers, and other organizations to help you get the drugs you need at a reduced cost. Eligibility is often based on income, insurance or Medicare status, and other factors. You'll need to apply through each program, either online, over the phone, or with your doctor's help. The following program is offered by the manufacturer of this drug.
|Program Name:
|Allergan U.S. Patient Assistance Program
|Phone Number:
|How do I apply?
|Ask your doctor to help you submit an application. You can find the form on the program website, or request one by calling 1-800-851-0758.
|What are the benefits?
|You can enroll for 12 months at a time, and your medication will be shipped to your doctor or pharmacy every 90 days at no charge if you are approved.
|What are the restrictions?
|You will need a valid prescription, proof of gross monthly househould income, and a copy of your LIS denial letter (Medicare Part D only). Please contact the program for more information about income eligibility requirements.
|Keep in mind
Lower Cost Alternative
There may be other prescriptions in the same class (that work in the same way) that could treat your condition just as well at a much lower cost.
If you're taking an expensive brand-name-only drug, it may be worth asking your doctor if there are any other less expensive, generic, or over-the-counter options that might work for you.

Giordano, Flames edge Coyotes in OT
Calgary, AB – Mark Giordano scored the winner with 23.1 seconds to play in overtime to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday.
With time winding down, Mikael Backlund brought the puck in down the left wing and fired a pass over to his right for Curtis Glencross, who one-touched the puck back to Giordano and his wrister beat Mike Smith for the win.
Lee Stempniak and Jiri Hudler each scored, while Joey MacDonald made 29 saves for the Flames, who have won two of their last three.
Keith Yandle and Antoine Vermette scored and Smith stopped 22 shots for the Coyotes, who have lost two of their last three.
With 43 points, the Coyotes are tied with Dallas and Columbus as all three clubs sit two points back of Detroit, which lost in a shootout to Chicago on Friday, for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"A tight game, we needed one of those posts to go in for us tonight and it didn't happen," said Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett.
Phoenix struck just 1:29 into the game when Chris Conner threw the puck out front from behind the net and Vermette's first shot was stopped, but he backhanded in his own rebound.
The Flames tied the game with 55.2 to play after Backlund fired the puck to the front of the net from the right boards and Hudler got his skate on it for his eighth of the year. The goal was reviewed to see if Hudler kicked it in, but the goal stood.
Calgary took a 2-1 lead with 1:08 to play in the second on the power play as T.J. Brodie's slap shot squirted behind Smith and Stempniak slammed it in for his eighth of the season.
"What else can we say about Brodie," said Calgary head coach Bob Hartley. "This guy's logging some big minutes, on our power-play goal he made a great play, and he's definitely improving."
Phoenix, though, tied the game with 5:04 left in regulation as strong work in the Calgary end saw Derek Morris fire a pass from the left point over to the right circle where Yandle one-timed it home.
Game Notes
Calgary plays in Edmonton on Saturday ... Phoenix hosts San Jose on Monday ... Calgary took two of the three games with Phoenix this season ... Calgary scored on its only power play of the game, while Phoenix went 0-for-2.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Check the box score of tonight's University of North Dakota women's hockey game, and you'll see a little of everything. But that won't tell the full story.
North Dakota appeared to be on its way to a 3-1 win, scoring two goals late in the third period. Minnesota Duluth answered back, tying it with two goals in the final 14 seconds, including one moments before the buzzer.
But it was UND with the final score and the 4-3 overtime win. Monique Lamoureux, who scored UND's first goal at 1:04 in the second period, delivered on a nice setup from Allison Parizek at 3:08 of the overtime.
Josefine Jakobsen scored both of UND's third period goals. The first came on a rush with Jocelyne Lamoureux. Speeding up the right side, Jakobsen sent the puck to the net, just out of reach for Lamoureux. However, UMD goaltender Kayla Black didn't play it cleanly, and the puck slipped between her legs for a 2-1 UND lead at 18:12 of the third.
UMD pulled its goaltender with one minute remaining, and Jakobsen cashed in with an empty netter at 19:13. Looking to clear the puck from her own goal line, Jakobsen sent it deep and it keep rolling into the opposition's net.
UMD didn't quit. The Bulldogs' Jamie Kenyon made it 3-2 at 19:46 of the third, sneaking behind the UND defense and potting a goal.
Then with one final rush, Katie Wilson tied it for the Bulldogs with .2 seconds on the clock. The play was reviewed by referees Ray Doocy and Jay Mendel and called good.
UND goaltender Jorid Dagfinrud made two brilliant saves in the rush, but couldn't get a third as the puck crossed the line as the buzzer sounded.
UND's Jordan Slavin was tagged with an interference call amid the action, and North Dakota had to start the overtime on the penalty kill.
The Bulldogs were unable to score on the power play, as Dagfinrud was solid. At full strength, UND came back the other way and scored on its first shot of the extra frame.
Dagfinrud ended with 27 saves, while UMD's Black made 24.

Never let it be said that computer hackers don't have a sense of humor. Masato Nakatsuji has been arrested by Tokyo authorities for authoring the Ika-tako virus, which replaces the files on a target computer with images of squid, octopi and sea urchins. The virus has infected somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 computers through the Winny file-sharing network. The malware disguises itself as a music file, and, when a victim attempts to play it, works its way through the hard drive, replacing programs, family photos and vital OS components with images of marine life.
Cute, but dangerous, since this is not the first time Nakatsuji has been arrested in connection with the creation of malware. In 2008, the coder created a virus that behaved similarly to Ika-tako, replacing data with images from an anime called 'Clannad.' That stunt landed Nakatsuji in jail for copyright violation. This time, Nakatsuji got slapped with the more severe charge of property destruction. The files that had been replaced were sent back to a server that Nakatsuji ran from his home, indicating he may have had more nefarious motives than simply practicing his computer programing skills, which was his excuse to police.

Dodge Goes Bright with Durango Tow Hook - SEMA Auto Show
Walking the floors of the SEMA show and looking over parts lists can be overwhelming. Most tuners and manufacturers try to fill their interiors, trunks, and engine bays with as much stuff as possible, trying to go bigger and better than the next guy. But Dodge has done away with all that with its Durango Tow Hook, and reminded us just how much changing the paint color, a nice set of wheels, and a well-appointed interior can change the overall feel of a car.
The easiest thing to spot on the Tow Hook is the paint color. Inspired by muscle cars, that bright orange paintwork took four coats to look just right. Dodge has paired that with a satin black accent color on the roof and hood, as well as blacked out headlights, providing just enough contrast. Massive 22-inch-by- 9.5-inch forged Superalloy wheels sit under wheel arches lowered 25 mm also feature the bright orange color and add some visual interest to the profile of the car.
Of course the orange color is found on the interior, too, found as contrasting stitching on the Katzkin suede-covered seats. The center armrest and door cards feature the striking hue as well, offset by brushed metal trim, and piano white introduces a third color to the palette.
While the parts list certainly isn't the longest in Vegas, the car's look is completely overhauled by these minor changes, and definitely catches the eye of anyone walking by. Take a closer look in our show coverage galleries.

The U.S. House of Representatives looked set to end the "fiscal cliff" crisis in a vote on Tuesday night on a bipartisan deal meant to prevent Washington from pushing the world's biggest economy into recession.
After a day of deliberation, there appeared to be enough Republicans in the House ready to back a Senate bill that would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and close a crucial chapter of the budget dispute that has consumed Washington for months.
"We've gone as far as we can go and I think people are ready to bring it to a conclusion," Republican Representative Jack Kingston of Georgia said. "We fought the fight."
Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, a Republican, predicted the House would back the Senate bill, which also postpones for two months $109 billion in spending cuts on military and domestic programs set for 2013.
Lawmakers have struggled to find a way to head off across-the-board tax hikes and spending cuts that began to take effect at midnight, a legacy of earlier failed budget deals that is known as the fiscal cliff.
Strictly speaking, the United States went over the cliff in the first minutes of the New Year because Congress failed to produce legislation to halt $600 billion of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled for this year that started kicking in on January 1.
While many Republicans were uneasy with the tax hikes and wanted more spending cuts in the bill, they seemed to realize that the fiscal cliff would begin to damage the economy once financial markets and federal government offices returned to work on Wednesday. Opinion polls show the public would blame Republicans if a deal were to fall apart.
The House Republicans had earlier considered adding $330 billion in spending cuts over 10 years to the Senate bill, which raises taxes on the wealthiest U.S. households by $620 billion over the same period.
But Senate Democrats refused to consider any changes to their bill, which passed 89 to 8 in a rare display of unity early Tuesday morning.

The start of the week will likely prove to be the worst part as Europe, China, and US concerns will all be front and center.
With no central bank cavalry set to arrive this week, the markets will not be bailed out and must probe new levels to adjust for the added risk premium.
This should see a test of the 1.2000 in the EUR/USD , a test of the 1,325 level in the S&P and a test of the 1.35% on the US 10 year note.
The sequence starts with last Friday's announcements by Spain that they would not be able to fund themselves at 7.0% 10 year bonds and the asking by the regional government of Valencia for a bailout. The latter has led to Catalonia saying it will considering asking for assistance and newspaper El Pais adding that 4 additional regions may step up for cash as well. Finally, Spain announced that they are downgrading their assessment of the economy with GDP (explain this) to -0.4% from -0.3% Q1. Today, CDS for Spain soared to 634 basis points as the 10yr bond interest rate soared to 7.40% and IBEX dropped close to 4%. The Spanish stock market is now rallying back on the announcement that Spain is banning short sales.
Greece was in the negative news flow starting on Sunday when Der Spiegel had an article stating that the IMF may not be sending additional funds to Greece. Subsequently, this was denied by Germany and the IMF stated that they are starting discussions with Greece on July 24th to get them back on track. Germany's Economic Minister Phillipp Roesler said stated that he didn't think Greece would meet their obligations and the head of the Syriza party said that the current Greek government had a plan to leave the Euro and return to the Drachma. Piling on, Greek PM Samaras said that Greece was in the throes of a 1930s style Great Depression.
Finally, China news flowwas mainly negative as well.
According to a Chinese central bank adviser, China's Q3 GDP may be 7.4% or lower with a period of deflation possible. According to Bloomberg, "Song Guoqing, a newly appointed academic member of the People's Bank of China monetary policy committee, also warned that a decline in producer prices in tandem with consumer inflation may hurt investment returns of industrial companies." Guoqing was also quoted as saying that further rate cuts will be difficult because consumer price growth remains high. Apparently, nature wanted to intervene as well by flooding Beijing with 16 inches of rain in a 24 hour period that killed 37 people.
This all combined to lead a big surge in Risk Off trading. The selling for the week should culminate over the next 24 hours as flash PMIs will be released for China, Europe and the US. All three could be ugly. The HSBC flash Chinese PMI is one of my favorites for a more accurate assessment of the economy and is out late tonight. After these, the biggest event for the week will be the US GDP data on Friday. This is already expected to be soft at 1.5%. Reflecting this, JPM just downgraded their assessment of the US GDP for Q2 to 1.4% from 1.7% and Q3 to 1.5% from 2.0%. (BMO's are: Q2 1.7%, Q3 2.2%, Q4 2.0% and Q1 2013 1.3 %.)
The point is that by the time Friday's data comes out, it will have been fully priced in and the market reaction should be muted. Then the attention will firmly turn the FOMC on Wednesday with the ECB and BOE on Thursday.

There's nothing more gratifying than seeing your child's face light up when you give him or her the perfect present for the holidays. Oh wait, yes, there is: Seeing them succeed their whole lives! And guess how you make that happen? You teach your kids about money and investing as young as possible, Jim Cramer said.
The earlier you start, the better off they will be. So this year, instead of buying your kid the hottest toy that's going to make her friends drool, consider giving the gift that could keep on giving — stocks! Here are Cramer's 10 stocks for 2012 for kids under age 10, or under 100 for that matter!
Note: All of these stocks are great examples of those that could be held for several years. That doesn't mean you can afford to skip the homework. In fact, Cramer picked big names that kids are likely to recognize precisely because it makes the homework easier. If you want to educate your children about money and investing, these stocks are just what you're looking for.

Successful brain aging in dogs
Continuing research suggests that the answer to this question is an unambiguous "Yes!" Over the past generation, we have changed the way we view animals in general. It's now the exceptional person who has grown up on a farm, and we have come to acknowledge the basic and deep role of the human-animal bond in the daily lives of our clients. Clients who have invested in the veterinary care necessary to see their cats or dogs into middle age are prepared to do everything possible not just to extend the lives of their pets, but also to ensure that their pets' brains are as healthy as possible. The relationship these clients value is both behavioral and emotional, and it is this very relationship that pathological brain aging steals. It is incumbent on modern veterinary medicine to do everything possible to thwart that theft of relationship.
Consoling clients that older pets had a good life and advising euthanasia is out of date. The fear that this is the advice that veterinarians will give may keep many clients from seeking help when their older pets begin to fail behaviorally. Instead, if we encourage clients to anticipate change and intervene as early as possible, these pets and the humans who love them can have many years of additional quality life together.

A statewide manhunt for a suspected gang member who police say shot and wounded a Fremont officer Friday came to an end Saturday near the Mexican Border.
Police working with the Department of Justice tracked the cell phone signal Andrew Barrientos was using to Southern California, police said Saturday afternoon.
A cop in the border town of San Ysidro thought he saw Barrientos and another man in a car and followed the vehicle to a department store parking lot. The officer watched and waited for Barrientos to get out of the car and arrested him at gunpoint. Barrientos was cooperative but armed, police said.
Police from all over the state were involved in the hunt for Barrientos. Two Fremont officers working undercover were serving a search warrant on the suspected gang member in East Oakland at about 2:30 p.m. when the shooting happened.
Gunfire broke out between Barrientos and the officers and one of the officers was hit twice in the pelvic area. Police say Barrientos then carjacked a green Mazda sedan and got away. Police found the car early Saturday morning abandonded in Hayward.
Police on Saturday identified the injured officer as Todd Young and said he's 39 years old, married and has two children. He spent 10 years with the Newark Police Department before joining the Fremont PD, where he's been for the past six years, police said.
Young was rushed to surgery at Oakland Highland Hospital where he is in critical but stable condition. Doctors say he required 60 units of blood durng during surgery. On Friday night, doctors said they were taking it "hour by hour" but the surgery went well. They are asking anyone who can to please contact the American Red Cross at 800-448-3543 or contact a local blood bank to donate blood for Young's surgery and ongoing needs over the next several days. Blood type is not an issue.
Barrientos, 20, lives in Union City has "Decoto" tattooed on his neck and "Decoto gangster" on his arm, police said. The Decoto gang is well-known in the Union City area. Before the shooting Friday, he was wanted on several other serious charges, including evading officers and suspicion of assault on the mother of his child. Police say Barrientos has family and friends in the Union City area and anyone who helped aid in his hiding or escape could face serious charges.
Fremont Mayor Robert Wasserman issued the following statement after the shooting:
The citizens of Fremont and the City Council wish to extend our thoughts and prayers for Officer Todd Young and his family. Officer Young was seriously wounded Friday afternoon by gunshot wounds while attempting to serve an arrest warrant on a subject located in Oakland. Officer Young is in critical, but stable condition at Highland Hospital and the Council wishes to extend our most sincere appreciation for the doctors and staff of Highland Hospital for the outstanding medical care that has been extended to Officer Young.

In my August 2007 editorial "Too Soon for SQL Server 2008?" (InstantDoc ID 96028), I claimed that many businesses running SQL Server as their database platform wouldn't be ready to migrate to SQL Server 2008. I still think that Microsoft's SQL Server release schedule isn't giving its customers time to catch up, but I have to admit that I haven't found anything negative about the upcoming release. In fact, SQL Server 2008 is the destination that previous SQL Server versions have been working toward.
At the 2007 Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) conference, I spoke with Francois Ajenstat, the director of product management for SQL Server at Microsoft, about the release of SQL Server 2008. Francois explained that Microsoft's vision for SQL Server 2008 is bigger than just a relational database system. Instead, Microsoft sees SQL Server 2008 as an enterprise data platform. Although the relational database engine is still at the heart of SQL Server 2008, the breadth of services that SQL Server 2008 provides goes well beyond simple relational database storage. Continuing in the direction set by SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2008 provides an end-to-end information platform.
SQL Server 7.0's inclusion of OLAP Services and business intelligence (BI) technologies marked the beginning of the transformation of SQL Server from a standard relational database server to a data platform. SQL Server 2000 added enhanced scalability and data-mining capabilities. And SQL Server 2005 extended SQL Server's value with the inclusion of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
SQL Server 2008 builds on this base and finally makes the vision of SQL Server as a data platform a reality. The four pillars of functionality that Microsoft sees for SQL Server 2008 are mission-critical platform, dynamic development, beyond relational data, and pervasive business insight. As a missioncritical data platform, SQL Server 2008 is enhanced with built-in transparent database encryption as well as policy-based management via the new Declarative Management Framework (DMF). In the area of dynamic development, Microsoft has added the new Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) extensions to the .NET Framework—revolutionizing database application development. New date, file stream, and geospatial data types extend SQL Server's data storage capabilities beyond traditional relational data. And SQL Server 2008's SSRS scalability, report design enhancements, and Microsoft Office integration help deliver information to users—fulfilling Microsoft's goal of providing pervasive business insight.
Being a data platform sets SQL Server 2008 apart from the competing database products and further establishes the new version as the innovative leader in a highly competitive enterprise database market. And unlike the competing enterprise database platforms, Microsoft will continue to bundle BI capabilities into its SQL Server releases with no additional licensing costs.
SQL Server 2008 serves both business needs and infrastructure needs. Not only are custom business applications and Web sites built to access SQL Server databases but an ever-growing number of Microsoft and third-party products are built on top of SQL Server as well. It seems to me that the only problem with SQL Server 2008 would be migrating to it and not taking advantage of its increased capabilities—that is, of course, if you're even ready to migrate to it.

"The faculty has primary responsibility for such fundamental areas as curriculum, subject matter, and methods of instruction; research; faculty status and working conditions; and those aspects of student life that relate to the educational process." (AAUP, 1966 Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities.)
The University of Louisiana at Monroe Faculty Senate shall serve as the agency for faculty participation in the government of the university. Accordingly, the Faculty Senate represents and supports the entire faculty. The Faculty Senate shall advise the administration regarding the selection of academic officers, the policies and procedures governing salary determination, and other matters concerning the general welfare of the university, either on its own initiative or upon referral of proposals from others.
Senators are elected by the faculty to represent their colleges and the faculty as a whole, in conformance with the Faculty Senate Constitution and By-Laws.
Dear Friends,
Our ULM Faculty Senate represents the faculty's interests here at ULM. Article II of the ULM Faculty Senate By-Laws are explicit:
The Faculty Senate is:
Article II speaks of "a framework for cooperation", "an opportunity to offer suggestions", "a body representing the entire faculty", "improvement of the university", and "the improvement of the general welfare." Phrases that express the practical and forward-looking activities of shared governance in the University.
Faculty involvement is required for all of this to work and be effective. Article II does nothing without our involvement, and so your input is welcome, and needed!
Recent changes in the state of Louisiana education and state budget cuts to education will drive significant changes in the coming year. Some difficult and unpleasant decisions will be required to restructure our ULM organization to increase efficiency and lower overheard. We may face program elimination … what we certainly do not want. Still, it is my viewpoint that these hardships will end, and we need to make plans for that day.
The ULM Faculty Senate believes that open communication with the ULM Faculty is a fundamental task for fulfillment of our purpose. You are invited to attend our regular scheduled Faculty Senate meetings and encouraged to periodically visit the Faculty Senate website. Emails to the ULM Faculty will be sent to keep you abreast of news, events, and plans that impact the university faculty.
If you have any questions or concerns that you believe the faculty senate should address, please feel free to contact me or your Senate representative.

Is there a way to start Sublime Text X from the terminal? I am on OSX and it would be nice to be able to set Sublime as the default editor for git commit messages etc. (Similar to TextMate's "mate"command, and MacVim's "mvim"command.)
(Of course, I can use /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ X/Contents/MacOS/Sublime\ Text\ X, but that is a bit cumbersome)
A binary launcher is definitely the ideal way to go so that you can set it as a default editor for tools.
In the meantime, I added the following alias to my ~/.bash_profile
alias slt='open -a "Sublime Text X"'
Then I can do:
slt my_stuff.py
Or, create a new project or add to the current project, I do:
slt folder/to/add/
I lieu of a binary, that is an excellent stopgap solution. Thanks.
No problem. It's been working great for me. Would still like to see X as an OSX registered .app so that it can be assigned as a default editor for certain filetypes and such...
Would also love to be able to set my EDITOR environment variable to point to Sublime Text 2, so that it would integrate into command line tool usage: for example, run "svn commit" and have Sublime Text 2 pop open for me to type in a commit message.
I don't have a Mac at hand to test this on, but you should be able to create a simple bash script that looks something like this:
open -a "Sublime Text X" "$@"
Mark it executable
chmod +x sublime.sh
and you can now run
./sublime.sh filename filename2 filename3
And you can set it as your EDITOR if you put it in /bin you won't need the path (./) either.
Is there an equivalent for Linux/Ubuntu?
On Linux, you can just pass the command line arguments directly to the excutable.
Personally, I have a symlink to sublime_text in my path called 'subl', so I can just type "subl readme.txt" to open a file.
I prefer:
slime dir/file
Could you offer some steps for this? I'm moving from Windows to Ubuntu, and can't get this to work. I've tried following linux.byexamples.com/archives/19 ... e-symlink/ but am failing.
I would also like to be able to open files from the commandline with Sublime Text 2. I'm on Ubuntu and don't know how to make a symlink. Could anyone help?
Hi guys,
Old topic, I know, but I have a symlink for those on Ubuntu looking to be able to open Sublime Text 2 directly from the terminal.
sudo ln -s /home/me/Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text /usr/bin/subl
This will create a symlink to open files when you write
subl folder_name/file_name
If you want to change your call code (slime is cute), then just change the last part of the above code to be
Good luck!
Hello, I have set up a symlink as suggested in: sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html and have also set 'subl -w' as my EDITOR, however I get the following error whenever I go to edit my crontab:
$ crontab -ecrontab: subl -w: No such file or directorycrontab: "subl -w" exited with status 1
Does anyone have the same problem or know what is going wrong here? Every other time EDITOR is invoked it works perfectly, I only have a problem with editing my crontab.
Thanks, Matt
With the hint from,
sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/9 ... -for-subl/
In addition to the 'subl' setup, I created a 'subl_wait' bash script for it,
subl -w $*
and set the following in my environment
export EDITOR='subl_wait'
This seems to work nicely for my 'crontab -e' and 'git commit'.
If this works perfectly for everyone, perhaps it should be added to the official docs. =)
This can be done easily. I have my sublime text binary installed in my PATH, and I have the following setup in my .bash_profile to setup the EDITOR variable properly:
export EDITOR="$(which sublime) --new-window --wait"
Using $(which sublime) will get the full path to the executable. The options --new-window and --wait are useful when using sublime as your default EDITOR: --wait tells sublime text to wait until the window is closed to return to the terminal. --new-window is just handy because it will open the file for edit in -- you guessed it-- a new window! Not neccessary, but i have lots of files open in sublime all the time and it just helps me keep track of what's what.
To see all sublime command line options on *nix, use --help.
Hope this is useful.
