Col. Delan Esplin. "We have found these problems; we're developing a plan to address them, and we're committed to solving them," Esplin said. Over the last year, the Army has come under media scrutiny about the issue of sexual harassment. A 20-year veteran of the military, Esplin stated he did not believe sexual harassment was any more prominent in the military than it was in civilian life. Punishment for sexual harassment If f'?

This year, there has been a concentrated effort to ensure the future of the school through fund-raising efforts. The money raised will be used to develop new teaching methods, promote quality parenting programs and to train early childhood educators. They also plan to remodel for a toddler lab. The school has several different programs, and it is very popular in the community. How to know if it's flu By Brett Ferrin news writer-The Signpost In less than five minutes, it can kill you. It is called the silent killer because there is no warning. It is tasteless, odorless and colorless. Its name is carbon monoxide, and it kills hundreds of people each year. According to Weber County inside post news seepage 2 &3 in the military, according to Esplin, is severe and quick. Only three days pass between a complaint and some formal action being taken, ranging from psychological counseling to court martial. A commanding officer who condones sexual harassment is equally guilty and subject to punishment, according to Esplin, as the individual who actually did the act. "A sexual harassment charge on a person's permanent military record ends that person's chance at promotion," Esplin said. "Their military career is effectively over." Punishment can also include the inability of the individual to re-enlist in the service. this feel firefighter Kim Holmes, carbon monoxide is a very light gas which floats to the top of the room and works its way down. For this reason, Holmes said upper floors in a home or building are especially dangerous. Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels are not burned completely. The cause of most deaths is that furnaces and water heaters are improperly vented or because chim editorial see page 4 The army's sexual harassment policy is enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and demands equal treatment of all military and civilian personnel and their families. The army has taken steps to minimize the problem. A task force was assembled and traveled the world visiting wherever army personnel were stationed. This group interviewed 32,000 soldiers, or 7.5 percent of those in service, and found 78 percent of women had never been sexually harassed and that less than 5 percent of women had been harassed regularly. The task force also found that 55 percent of women feel they are not being treated as equals in the military. Former hostage tells By Darrell Dickson news writer-The Signpost Col. Charles Wesley Scott spoke at Thursday's Convocation about his survival of 444 days as a prisoner in Iran. In spite of the horrendous mental and physical abuse Scott received as a hostage, he has still kept his sanity and sense of humor. "Once you've been through an ordeal like the hostage crisis, you carry that scar with you for the rest of your life," Scott said. While a hostage, Scott was deprived of food, water and rest. He was interrogated and tortured for not cooperating. The bottoms of his feet were beaten raw with steel cables. He was hung by the wrists for three days and not taken down to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water. "There were times when a little voice. would say to me 'Give up! What difference could it possibly make?'" Scott said, "...then another voice would say to me, 'If you give in to these idiots, they've won, and you've lost.'" Scott's persistence worked. He didn't crack. After three weeks of intense interrogation and torture, one of the interrogation chiefs "banged on the desk and he screamed at me, 'Scott! 'You must be dumbest colonel in American army.' I've heard that before," Scott said. or carbon ney vents are clogged with soot. Car exhaust and fuel-burning heaters also create carbon monoxide.

To combat the problem, the army, starting January 1998, will add a week to basic training for sensitivity instruction. "The Army has a unique set of values that drive much of what we do," Esplin said. Even though basic training desensitizes individuals to some things, such as killing other people, Esplin believes the army can also sensitize individuals to the wrongs of sexual harassment. "It is difficult to teach values," At that time, he was in the vorst physical, emotional and sanitary mess he'd been in his entire life. "But when they gave up on me, a flush came over me, and I enjoyed what I call my magnificent moment," Scott said. He had achieved his goal. He experienced a feeling of true success.

Esplin explained that the military draws upon the general population for recruits, so the problems of society come along with the recruits. The majority of sexual harassment, according to Esplin, occurs not between a commander and subordinate, but within ranks. "If a commanding officer did take part in sexual harassment, my hope would be for full punishment possible," Esplin said. "Sexual harassment is not about sex," Esplin said.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Boy in the Striped Pajamas Offers an Unusual Perspective
- Friday, November 07, 2008
Bruno can't understand why Shmuel seems so morose, but after learning that Shmuel hasn't seen his father since they first arrived together at the camp, he hatches a plot to dig under the fence that separates the two boys and help Shmuel find his father within the camp. The resolution of that plan, which comprises the final third of the movie, hurts the film. Not only do the subtleties of the first hour—the most interesting portion of the film—give way to Hollywood-style histrionics (ominous music and rapid cross-cutting are used to build suspense), but the fate of the two boys and others in the work camp, while discreetly portrayed, is a punishing thing for viewers to experience.
What are we to take away from this film that we haven't already learned from earlier filmed depictions of the Holocaust? This time we see the horrors of that part of history through the eyes of a young German boy, but in having us identify with that boy's tragic experience, the film loses sight of the enormity of the Holocaust, which, after all, resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews. The merit of seeing those events through the eyes of a naïve gentile boy is akin to the experience of watching those aforementioned stories about African Americans through the eyes of white protagonists. Something just isn't right, and considering the scope of the horrors of the Holocaust, we're left to wonder why this particular take on history needed to be told. Moreover, the film is, in the end, so grim that it does more to pulverize the soul than provoke thoughtful questions.
However, the film is by no means a total loss. Although the storyline about Bruno's parents feels underdeveloped, the acting, especially from the young boys, is excellent, and the film is quite striking on a visual level. For an hour, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas serves as a good introduction to the Holocaust for younger viewers who may be unfamiliar with the event.
The movie's final half hour is enough to merit a strong warning to those young viewers, and to adults who are thinking of seeing this film with them: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has its merits, but viewers will have to ask themselves if the outcome of the story, and the perspective from which it's told, are necessary in light of the many films about the Holocaust that have already been made. Those who do choose to see the film might also want to watch some of the acclaimed Holocaust documentaries of recent years (try Shoah) to gain a greater sense of what the Jewish people underwent during that time.

If your kids think all their food originates at the supermarket, there's a problem. Learning about how food gets from the farm or the wild to the table is essential knowledge for youngsters. It can inspire them to be more thoughtful about their diet and make healthier choices. But many schools no longer have the time or the budget to teach kids about food, so if you don't teach them about it, chances are no one will. Check out these ideas for educating your child about how food is produced and why it matters.
If you wish your child ate more fruits and vegetables instead of processed snacks, some food education will definitely help. For many kids, the problem isn't that they don't know what's healthy, it's that a lowly carrot can't compete with the marketing power behind their favorite brand of chips. So it's time they knew just what went into making that carrot. If there's a local farmer's market near you, bring the kids along next time. They can meet the farmer who grew that carrot, and perhaps, if you make the effort to arrange it, the farmer will let you visit their farm. A farm visit can be an excellent opportunity to show kids how animals, fruits, and vegetables grow, and how much hard work goes into making what they eat. And if your child is truly interested in farms and farming, there are even some farm summer camps.
Investigating the sources of "real" food – i.e. food that comes from a farm not a factory – is not only fun, it makes that food more relatable to kids. But there's a difference between relating to a vegetable and relating to a cute and cuddly lamb that's soon to become a lamb chop. How do you explain meat eating to impressionable youngsters? Ultimately it's up to you to determine whether your child is mature enough to hear about how animals are slaughtered, but once your child is ready to have that conversation, don't gloss over the facts. "Why do humans eat animals?" your child might ask. Weigh in with your own opinion on the subject, but point your child toward some books, too. There's plenty of literature out there about the moral thorniness of food production, some of it meant for younger readers. If you provide your child with some varied sources, it will encourage them to make their own informed decisions about what they eat, an important part of their development.
All this consideration of food might convince your child to consider changing their diet significantly. If they want to try out something new, support them, but also be sure to ask questions about how they feel. If they seem tired all the time or start losing or gaining weight drastically, it might be time to suggest a few tweaks to make sure their new diet is balanced. Consider consulting your child's pediatrician.
If you can inspire your child to be curious about the origins of their food, you've done them a great service. When kids care about food, they automatically care more about eating well; apathy means they're more likely to eat chips for breakfast. So next time you're at the dinner table, it's time to try a new conversation: where dinner really came from.

New England Fall Destinations
The air is crisp, and the days are becoming shorter. In the United States, there isn't a region more beautiful in Autumn than New England. The fall foliage is at its peak, vineyards are thriving, and seaport towns are preparing to pack it in for the winter. In the meantime, hay rides, hot apple cider, pumpkin patches and wild turkeys can only meanone thing – it's time to plan your New England fall vacation and get in one last getaway before the year's end.
Leaf Peeping
You can't predict when the fall foliage will reach its full glory. There are several elements to consider: rain, hours of daylight, and temperatures, to name a few. Most likely the three day weekend over Columbus Day is a good bet for the best colors - especially in Massachusetts - but there are no guarantees. Ride your mountain bike in Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont for a first-hand glimpse of the season. Remember, the further north you travel, the earlier the fall foliage peak, so hit up Maine early in the season if you want to see the brightest colors. For a scenic drive, rent a car and explore the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire - or the "Kanc" as locals call it. Or take a kayak tour in Rhode Island to view the fiery shades of golds, oranges, and reds.
Family Fun
Imagine cramming into a hayride with your closest friends and family, barreling past pumpkin patches and fruit orchards and roadside stands selling fresh local produce on a cool Autumn night. Stay warm with a thermos of hot apple cider. For those who wish want to get in touch with their inner prowess, mid-October means wild turkey season - so do like the Pilgrims and catch your own Thanksgiving dinner. Or consider a different type of game: get some back-to-school shopping out of the way at one of several outlet malls in New England - Kittery and Freeport in Maine and North Conway in New Hampshire, to name a few. And remember - New Hampshire is tax-free.
Wine Tasting
New England has several vineyards and wineries that should not be missed during Fall harvest. As the weather turns cool, you will want to retire summer's light bodied white wines and roses and make room for some more robust varietals. East Coast wines made from the indigenous fruits in the area like apple, pear, and blueberry will pair well with an autumn spread of rich meats and root vegetables. Visit Connecticut's Wine Trail – fifteen vineyards along the countryside that accommodate weekend travelers. But wineries can be found in all six New England states. Call ahead to reserve a tour and expand your knowledge as well as your palate.
Fall Festivals
Visit New England during the fall and take part in one of many Fall festivals –from film to food to arts and crafts.
- International Film Festival – Martha's Vineyard, MA – Mid September
- Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival – Newport, RI – Late September
- Oyster Festival – Wellfleet, MA – Early October
- Chowder Fest – Mystic, Connecticut – Early October
- Fall Foliage and Crafts Fair – Quechee, Vermont – Mid October
- Mount Desert Island Marathon – Mount Desert Island, Maine – Mid October
- Keene Pumpkin Festival – Keene, New Hampshire – Late October
- Salem Haunted Happenings – Salem, Massachusetts – Late October

- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 cup (3/8 lb.) plus 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- About 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
- Icing (recipe follows)
- 1. In a 2-quart pan over medium heat, heat milk to lukewarm. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm (110°) water. Let stand 5 minutes.
- 2. If using a heavy-duty mixer: With the paddle attachment, stir milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, the salt, and 3 1/2 cups flour into yeast mixture. Beat on high until slightly stretchy, about 2 minutes. Switch to dough hook and, on medium speed, beat in 1 1/2 cups more flour until a stiff dough forms. Continue beating until dough pulls cleanly from bowl, 5 to 7 minutes longer; if dough is still sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- If mixing by hand: With a wooden spoon, stir milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, the salt, and 3 1/2 cups flour into yeast mixture. Stir vigorously until slightly stretchy, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups more flour until a stiff dough forms. Scrape onto a floured board and knead until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, about 8 minutes; add flour as required to prevent sticking. Return dough to bowl.
- 3. Cover bowl airtight and let dough rise at room temperature until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- 4. Scrape dough onto a floured board and press gently to expel air. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 10- by 16-inch rectangle. Spread 6 tablespoons butter over each rectangle. In a small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle half the mixture over each rectangle.
- 5. Starting from a long edge, roll each rectangle into a tight cylinder. Cut each cylinder into six equal pieces. Place, cut side down and slightly apart, in two 7- by 11-inch baking pans. Cover pans and let stand at room temperature until rolls are almost doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- 6. Bake in a 350° oven until rolls are browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then drizzle with icing. Serve warm from the pan.
- Icing: In a bowl, mix 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 cup water. Thin with water if icing is too thick to drizzle.

Hairy Frogs Have Unusual Defense Mechanism
by Weird Science
When I think about frogs, I usually picture the cute, little ones hopping around the lake near my house. Well, there are many types of frogs and one in particular is almost the stuff of nightmares! Not only is it a super duper hairy creature but it has a peculiar defense mechanism that has intrigued scientists.
Trichobatrachus robustus – as the frog is formally named – breaks its own bones to create special claws that force their way through the frog's toe pads. It's thought that this action is performed when the frog is threatened. While we already know that salamanders do something similar by pushing their ribs through the skin to create spiky barbs, the frog's maneuver is unique! Not only that, but the closest action we've seen from other frogs involves bony spines that stick out from the wrist. The difference, however, is that the bones project out naturally, which is different from the hairy frog where the claws force their way out as a form of defense…

The headlines are very frightening: a recent study found that the incidence of advanced breast cancer at first diagnosis (meaning that the woman already has metastatic disease when the cancer is first found) has gone up a great deal in young women. The numbers are also scary: between 1967 and 2001, the numbers of women so affected in the United States jumped from 250 to 850 each year. If you account for the increase in population, it becomes a bit less bad: between 1967 and 2009, the rate doubled from 1.5 women per 100,000 to 3 women per 100,000.
The first fact to remember is that this has nothing at all to do with prognosis of young women diagnosed with earlier stage breast cancer. It does not mean that their cancers are more likely to recur. Another fact to remember is that the rate of advanced breast cancer at initial diagnosis has also gone up for older women. I have been trying to find that number for year, but have not been able to do so. Just within my own practice, however, I probably meet at least one woman every three to four weeks in this situation, and that is surely an increase.
I am not trying to make anything good out of this fact, just to remind us all that the media's hype can make things seem even worse than they actually are. Here is a good and balanced report from Web MD; I give you the beginning and a link to read more:

Q&A: Breast Cancer in Young Women
By Kathleen Doheny
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
Feb. 28, 2013 -- Young women found the news surprising and more than a little scary: Cases of advanced breast cancer have been rising in women 25 to 39 over the past three decades, researchers reported this week.
From 1976 to 2009, the number of cases of advanced breast cancer in younger women at the time of diagnosis increased, the researchers found, from 250 a year to 850 a year.
Although those numbers sound scary, you have to take into account that the population of young women grew in that time period. When you look at the percentage of new cases, the increase is small and shows they nearly doubled: from 1.5 of every 100,000 younger women in 1976 to about 3 per 100,000 in 2009.

Tomane extends Brumbies stay
Brumbies wing Joe Tomane is the latest player to re-commit to Australian rugby by signing a new deal with theCanberra-based franchise until 2015.
Tomane has impressed in the Brumbies' march to the Super Rugby final and has done well off the replacements bench in their recent play-off victories over the Cheetahs and Bulls.
He also featured in two Tests for the Wallabies in their recent series against the British and Irish Lions.
The 23-year-old, who featured in the NRL with the Melbourne Storm and Gold Coast Titans, has made rapid strides in his career since Brumbies boss Jake White signed him from park rugby league with the Ipswich Jets in 2011.
''When I first got here, I phoned to find out where he was and they told me he was on loan to Ipswich because he wasn't playing with the Titans,'' White told the Canberra Times.
''Thankfully we got him released to come here early … just 18 months later he's playing in a Super Rugby final, he's played for the Wallabies in front of 87,000 people for the Lions series.
You have to say it's been a success so far. It was always going to be a no-brainer that a guy like Joe who was a star as a junior in rugby was going to be able to convert back.''
Tomane joins several players who have committed to the Brumbies as they aim for long-term success.
''If I rewind 18 months ago, Joe was a novice and now he's got Wallabies experience,'' White said. ''Things are looking up for the Brumbies, going forward.''

Staff Note: So… human. Darling.
Can I breathe in the stars, just to make myself shine?
Should I grow my own grapes, to drink my own wine?
If I build my own bridges, will my path be forever clear?
If I whisper into the wind, will I find you draw nearer?
I can remember every story that you've told,
And yet, it's still not my heart, that you want to hold.
If I promise, forever and a day
Will my undying love, be enough to make you stay?

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I fell in the love with the design when I saw it online, and after receiving a sample - I knew it was the one I wanted! The paper is very elegant and feels expensive! I love this romantic autumn card!"
"Loved the fall branch pattern simplicity and elegance. Used Azalea color for wedding invitations, response and enclosure cards. Used majestic and charcoal for menu and thank you cards to coordinate with fall wedding reception plum colors. Very pleased with results!"
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"
"I ordered a Save the Date Sample and an Invitation Sample and both arrived in such a classy, stunning portfolio with examples of paper types and colors and other useful tips and information. Such a beautiful package! I absolutely cannot wait to order these for my Southern lowcountry Wedding next year! I do not need to look any further. These are the first and only samples I have ordered from anywhere and they are BEAUTIFUL. This Company is a Class Act."
"I wanted mountains in the background but something simple and elegant. I am having a winter wedding on a mountain and this worked perfectly for it."

Hey friends,Slowly but surely we are nearing the day when we can officially share Young & Old with the world. We've received so much supportive feedback in response to Origins and Deep in the Woods, it means a lot to us, and has only added to our anticipation for February 14 (a day we don't normally look forward to, but oh, that has changed)!Along with plenty of news and more tour dates, some of our favorite songs from the record are yet to come, so keep an eye out for updates! In the meantime, we have the Young & Old artwork and track listing for you below.
1. It All Feels The Same2. Origins3. My Better Self4. Traveling5. Petition6. Robin7. High Road8. Dreaming9. Take Me To Heaven10. Never To PartThe album comes out on 2.14 but you can pre-order the CD, Vinyl, and exclusive merch designed by the one and only Ashkahn.Looking forward to debuting the record live in Europe next month and seeing you all on our US tour!
In keeping with our theme this year of paying homage to artists and songs we love, check out NME.com today to get our newest recording "Tears in the Typing Pool". Broadcast has been a huge influence in our band from day one. Bassist James Cargill and drummer Steve Perkins create, in our minds, an infinity of space that very few bands can claim. The arrangement of tones and instruments put Trish Keenan's voice just where it needs to be. Hopefully this homage of ours makes sense as Keenan will be sorely missed.
As our 2012 plans come together we have new show dates to announce. Please check out the new tour below. We'll also have some UK and European plans to announce soon as well as more music, videos, and other news. In the meantime, we have a show scheduled at Hoxton Bar and Grill in London on February 13th and you can check out our US tour dates below:
2/22: Slowdown, Omaha
2/23: Triple Rock, Minneapolis
2/24: High Noon Saloon, Madison
2/26: Lincoln Hall, Chicago
2/27: Radio Radio, Indianapolis
2/28: Grog Shop, Cleveland
2/29: Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto
3/02: Brighton Music Hall, Boston
3/03: Bowery Ballroom, New York
3/06: Union Transfer, Philadelphia (w/ White Rabbits)
3/07: Black Cat, DC (w/ White Rabbits)

3/10: The Earl, Atlanta
3/11: Orange You Glad Festival, Orlando
A lot of news this week. We're in the middle of a 14 hour drive from Denver to start our December tour and it's hard to type while driving so please excuse type-o's. Tomorrow, our first single will be available in stores in the US and the UK. The special, limited blue 7" will be out from Forrest Family and you can purchase here.
If you're not able to get your hands on the vinyl, the single is also available digitally in theUS and UK on iTunes and other retailers from Fat Possum. We are really happy to announce that All Tomorrow's Parties will be releasing Young & Old in the UK, Europe, and Australia in February. We love them and are so happy to have them as our partners on this record.
Check out RollingStone.com today for the debut of our video for Deep in the Woods.
Hope to see you soon…if not on this tour then soon after!
It was a while after finishing Cape Dory before we wrote another song. Not because we had expended ourselves, but because we felt like Cape Dory had a momentum of its own that had propelled us for the better part of a year. When we made music again, we wanted be sure of ourselves and feel in control.With this in mind we took the late spring and early summer off to write. New material came quickly. It felt cathartic to write ambling five minute jams and experiment with different instruments. When we finally wrote our first new song after Cape Dory, we knew we had gone in a direction that felt good, like we belonged there.My greatest new writing challenge presented itself lyrically. With Cape Dory my only goal was to narrate, rather matter of factly, the happenings of our sailing trip; to convey a story in the simplest manner. I used Cape Dory to describe my own understanding of love and my encounters with fear and self-doubt. But I was only writing for me, and I didn't need to explain to myself what I meant. I knew that when I wrote again, my first challenge would be to write with an audience in mind which would mean dealing with things that are harder to get at and more difficult to share.After more than a month of feeling like I had nothing to say, I came across Yeat's A Woman Young and Old for the first time. I had heard the line "I'd have him love the thing that was before the world was made" many times before but it meant nothing, now; it suddenly meant something to me.I thought about how the suddenness of becoming a band and spending so much time on the road with others seemed to bring out the best and the worst in me. I thought a lot about human nature—mine really, and the way it had been portrayed to me in my childhood. I felt frustrated with the self-defeating conception of humanity I was presented with. So when Patrick wrote the music for the song Origins, I decided to take it as an opportunity to flesh out this inner dialogue.After finishing Origins, a small vision for the entire record began to take shape and suddenly I had pages and pages of potential lyrics. This song is not a story about how Patrick and I met and moved onto a sailboat. It's not even about me, but somehow it is much more personal. And I wouldn't have written a line of this song if it hadn't been for Yeats.
2011 was an amazing and transformative year for us. It seems fitting to end it by starting a new chapter with the release of this 7" on Forrest Family on December 6th. We cannot wait to see what comes in 2012 with our new album, Young & Old, on February 14th, with our friends at Fat Possum.-Alaina

Sometimes you need to run a resource intensive PowerShell command using the 'Run .Net Script' activity. Problem is, Orchestrator is 32bit, and defaults to a 32bit PowerShell. What is the problem with this? 32bit processes can grow close to 2GB in memory. This is a hard limit. By using a 64bit process we break the 2GB barrier and gain performance.
Simply run your PowerShell script in a ScriptBlock as listed below. The –ScriptBlock forces 64bit PowerShell. Test and enjoy!
Invoke-Command -ComputerName localhost -ScriptBlock { write-host "64bit speed!"}
A good friend of mine, DeWitt, has put together a list of WAP versions for reference. He also found a simple way for you to determine your version.
The following are available options to determine the version of the Windows Azure Pack
Option 1: On the server with Windows Azure Pack installed, view the version information listed in Control Panel -> Programs and Features for Windows Azure Pack - <module>
Option 2: While connected to the Admin or Tenant portal, press Ctrl+Alt+A and locate the Portal Version

Just a heads up that two UR3's for System Center products have been released. There are many fixes for VMM and Orchestrator, as well as other components. A breakdown of articles below. VMM has a SQL script that is a required part of the install. Don't forget!
System Center 2012 SP1
Update Rollup 7 for System Center 2012 Service Pack 1http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2965089
System Center 2012 R2
Update Rollup 3 for System Center 2012 R2http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2965090
I've run into this issue a few times, and finding the resolution was not easy. Anyone deploying VMs through Windows RDS should read this article. In this situation, your VMs are created and show up in Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. In VMM they either do not show up, or they appear to move from Host to Host in VMM. 'Cluster-Invariant' is the culprit. Enjoy the quick fix!
I have had a few customers looking for a solution to SCOM maintenance mode using Orchestrator. Well, 'Matty T' has taken the time to put together a clear and thorough set of instructions to do so. Bookmark this one.
Schedule SCOM Maintenance Mode with Orchestratorhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/scom_atlas/archive/2014/04/22/scom-scheduled-maintenance-with-scorch.aspx
The latest Update Rollup has been released for System Center. It contains fixes for many System Center components, including Orchestrator and VMM, and should be treated as a mandatory install.
It is pushed out by Windows Update, but the VMM installation requires a SQL script to be run. If you don't run the script, you haven't completed the update for VMM. Other SC products do not have a SQL script update to worry about.
Here's the link to the update. Remember to run the SQL script for VMM!http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932881
VMM installation instructions
There is a link on the update page above that takes you over to another KB where the SQL script and installation instructions are. Here's that link:
The instructions are:
"Important After you install the update package, you must apply the following SQL script on your Virtual Machine Manager Microsoft SQL Server database for Update Rollup 2 to function correctly."
This means simply:
Script Browser"A world of scripts at your fingertips." That's the apt heading for a new add-in for the PowerShell ISE. It's called Script Browser, and it gives you instant access to thousands of scripts in the familiar ISE environment.
"Script Browser for Windows PowerShell ISE is an app developed by Microsoft Customer Services & Support (CSS) with assistance from the PowerShell team and the Garage to save IT Pros from the painful process of searching and reusing scripts. We start from the 9,000+ script samples on TechNet Script Center. Script Browser allows users to directly search, learn, and download TechNet scripts from within PowerShell ISE – your scripting environment."
Landing page:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2014/04/16/a-world-of-scripts-at-your-fingertips-introducing-script-browser.aspx
New version:http://blogs.technet.com/b/onescript/archive/2014/05/11/what-s-new-in-script-browser-amp-script-analyzer-1-2.aspx
Script AnalyzerThis bit is experimental, but it clearly looks like a step in the right direction. I'll run some of my everyday scripts through it and see what it comes up with. I expect a learning experience will result. Use the same links as above for Script Browser.
"You will get the chance to try out another new function bundled with Script Browser - 'Script Analyzer'. Microsoft CSS engineer managed to use the PowerShell Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) to check your current script against some pre-defined rules. In this first version, he built 7 pilot PowerShell best practice checking rules. By double-clicking a result, the script code that does not comply with the best practice rule will be highlighted. We hope to get your feedback on this experimental feature."
A whole new set of tools for vSphere has been released for Orchestrator 2012 R2. Over 30 Activities to build out incredible automation Runbooks. Enjoy.

Another quarterly Update Rollup (UR) has been released for System Center 2012 SP1 and SC 2012 R2. In this post we focus on SC VMM and SC Orchestrator updates. A note about Update Rollups: do not consider these optional. Do not consider them hotfixes. Install them always when they are released. Each UR contains up to 25 fixes per product based on past releases. Here's what is new with UR's:
Description of the fixes in Update Rollup 5 for System Center Orchestrator 2012 SP1
Connection to the selected computer has failed
The SNMP Trap Variables are not retained in the correct order after the Properties dialog box is closed and then opened again.
Description of Update Rollup 1 for System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager
There are special install instructions for this update. Please read the article!

Recently I have seen a rush of VMM cases that involve moving a VM through migration, or otherwise moving data (VHD, VHDX, ISO, etc.) around. I have found that in many of these cases there are suspended Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) jobs. As long as there is a suspended job in the BITS queue on the VMM server or the Host you are moving data to, the move will fail.
Typical VMM trace showing the issue: In this case a VMM trace shows a copy job beginning. Locate the first step of an exception at the bottom of the stack and read upwards.The first line shows that BITS is starting a copy job: 'at Microsoft.VirtualManager.Engine.Deployment.BitDeployer.Copy().'

Perform these steps on the VMM server and any Hosts where data is being moved. Ignore any messages referring to the command being deprecated
I've written a KB article that details this same process. It will be available online soon.
There are a number of ways to manipulate data using the Orchestrator built-in Activities. Text manipulation is a common need with Runbooks. An Activity pulls a string of data that you need only a part of, or need it in a different format. Fortunately, Orchestrator has many built-in Functions that can be used to further manipulate strings. Use these tools in the same places you would subscribe to data and they will be processed.
For example, the string below will be converted to all UPPERCASE.
[Upper('this will be inserted in upper case')]
You must enclose the entire string to be manipulated in square brackets, with the command and the string. Some other commands
Here's the link to Orchestrator Functions
Function and Definition
Upper - converts text to uppercase.
Lower - converts text to lowercase.
Field - returns text in a specific position.
Sum - returns the sum of a set of numbers.
Diff - returns the difference of two numbers.
Mult - returns the product of a set of numbers.
Div - returns the quotient of two numbers.
Instr - returns the position of first occurrence of text within another text.
Right - returns a subset of the text from the right side of the full text.
Left - returns a subset of the text from the left side of the full text.
Mid - returns a subset of the text from the middle of the full text.
LTrim - trims leading spaces from text.
RTrim - trims the trailing spaces from text.
Trim - trims leading and trailing spaces from text.
Len - returns the length of text.
Regular Expressions
Regular expressions let you match a string to a pattern. This is a bit more complex, but allows for pulling really anything you need from a string.
Matches any character except a newline.
Matches the preceding item 0 or more times. For example, the "a*" pattern matches any string of a's in a row "a", "aaa", "aaaaaaaaaaaa", and an empty string "". To match any string of any character, use a dot followed by an asterisk. For example "a.*" matches any text that begins with the letter "a" and ends with any string of characters such as "abbb", "abcdef", or "automatic restart".
Matches the preceding item 1 or more times. This is like * but you must have a least 1 of the preceding item to make a match. For example, the "ab+" pattern matches "abbbbb", "ab", but does not match "a". To contrast, the "ab*" pattern matches "a".
Matches the preceding item 0 or 1 time. For example, the "ab?" pattern matches "a" or "ab" but does not match "abbb".
Matches either the preceding expression or the following expression. Logical OR operator.
Matches the expression at the end of the input or line. For example, "ab$" matches "I took a cab" or "drab" but does not match "absolutely not".
Matches the expression at the beginning of the input or line. For example, "^ab" matches "absolutely not" or "abacuses are great!" but does not match "I took a cab" or "drab".
For characters that are usually treated as special. This indicates that the next character is literal and is not to be treated as a special character. For example, "\." means match the "." character and not just any character.
[ ]
A character set. Matches any one of the enclosed characters. You can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen. For example, [a-zA-Z] matches any letter of the alphabet.
[^ ]
An excluded character set. This is the opposite of []. If any of the characters inside the brackets exist, the regular expression match fails. You can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen. For example, [^a-zA-Z] ensures that none of the letters in the alphabet are present.
( )
A group expression. This groups an expression into an item that you can apply special characters to. For example, "a*(ba)+" matches "ba" "aba" or "ababa" but does not match "abbba" or "abaa"
This is an issue we have been tracking for a while now. Please see the KB article on how to get around this error.
After upgrading to System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, attempts to start the Orchestration Web Console fails and the following messages will pop up in the browser:Error Executing the current operation[httpwebrequest_webexception_remoteserver]Arguments: NotFoundError Executing the Current Operation

Adriana Perez calls the From Scratch festival of staged readings of new works "a little incubator."
Perez, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs' programs administrator, has seen From Scratch grow into one of the region's most important arts programs for up-and-coming playwrights since its founding as Downstage Miami in 2001.
On Sunday, at the Deering Estate at Cutler, four South Florida playwrights who have been participating in the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Playwright Development Program will showcase their full-length plays to audiences for the first time. The plays are between 90 and 120 minutes and are free.
The four writers – Andie Arthur, Edward G. Excaliber, Vanessa Garcia and Susan Westfall – have been working with master playwright Deborah Zoe Laufer in the two-year program to create these showcase plays that tackle addiction, identity, love and loss.
This time, the playwrights' work had time to marinate, to evolve and fine-tune. The program expanded from a one-year to a two-year training – "boot camp," Perez calls it – because of the work involved in getting a play from idea to paper to stage-ready.
Typically, 20 scripts will be delivered per cycle and a handful of aspiring playwrights are chosen by a panel of performing arts experts to work with Laufer. Arthur, Excaliber, Garcia and Westfall advanced to the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis where their plays were "packaged," meaning the plays were redimensionalized from paper script to live bodies reading them out loud, Perez explains.
In this stage just before the presentations in Palmetto Bay, directors get involved and do what directors do – cut or reimagine characters, alter or scrap scenes, call for rewrites. The process is like "moving chess pieces, the script comes back and it's at another level," Perez says.
Ultimately, the goal is to provide local stages with plays to produce.
"Some of the playwrights have been able to achieve literary representation and have risen to the level where regional playwrights consider them colleagues. Their plays have been picked up and premiered in regional theaters. We have such a great community of playwrights here, not only for the stage but a lot of script writers and in the creative writing scene," Perez says of previous participants like Christopher Demos-Brown, Juan Sanchez, David Caudle and Westfall who have all seen their plays performed at regional theaters like Actors' Playhouse and New Theatre in Coral Gables and the Roxy Performing Arts Center in Kendall.
"It's hugely important because from the collection of playwrights who submit, it's a blind competition," says Westfall, 58, who is co-founder and literary director of City Theatre. "What the county does with that program is provide the opportunities, like this, to get out of my Miami ZIP code to come up here to Minneapolis in a Playwrights Center," Westfall said in a phone interview from Minneapolis. "You read a lot of plays, see the work that is out there, and can ask, 'Is my work fresh? Is it resonant? Does it interest you in the middle of the country as much as I think it's interesting?' So over the years a number of playwrights and masters have come along [like] Nilo Cruz and I've worked with all of them … so it's very good professionally."
For this cycle, the Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay steps in for the Biltmore Hotel, where previous groups worked on their drafts in a conference room inside the Coral Gables landmark. Renovations are currently underway to enhance the existing auditorium at Deering to serve as a dedicated space for writers and performers after receiving a $35,000 grant in 2012 from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its Knight Arts Challenge for the Theatre Lab project. The new space opens with the One-Minute Play Festival on Jan. 25-26.
"This need to happen here," Perez says of this weeks' readings at the Deering, a historic 444-acre natural and archeological preserve and historic site which sprawls on Biscayne Bay.
"[Charles] Deering used to be friends with myriad artists and writers who would come in. Deering is a natural artwork incubator. The board room in which [the playwrights] work has bay windows to the boat basin and so they can walk out to nature trails and write. Sometimes at lunch they write and chat on the lawn by the water," she says.
Perez also dishes on the Deering's celebrated reputation as a breeding ground for paranormal activities. Every fall, the League of Paranormal Investigators conducts ghost tours on the Deering grounds and its main house. Apparently, the spirits are connoisseurs of the theater.
"The ghosts love when the playwrights are here," Perez says. "When the playwrights leave, the ghosts grow docile as they await the next artistic infusion."

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is using a blockbuster film to bring attention to a cause close to her heart.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is set to debut November 22, but Lawrence, who stars in the film, has paid to show a special screening of the movie in her hometown two days early through her foundation, the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Saint Mary's Center which serves adults and teens with intellectual disabilities, in honor of Lawrence's childhood friend, Andy Strunk, who has down syndrome.
"We thought it would be fun and exciting to host a benefit screening of Catching Fire to help the organization build a new facility for both children and adults," Lawrence said.
While Lawrence won't be able to attend the screening she said, "I'll be there in spirit!"
The screening will take place at 7 p.m. November 20 at Cinemark Tinseltown USA, located at 4400 Towne Center Drive.
Only 350 tickets are available. The tickets will be on sale until November 8 and cost $125 each and include a small popcorn, drink and gift bag of movie memorabilia. .

of the Year
After years of winning awards at TWE, we decided that we should give some of our own. With that intent we proudly present The Whisky Exchange Whisky of the Year 2013.
We attempted to decide on a single whisky within the company but after several weeks of unsuccessful discussion we decided to bring in the best people to decide - our customers.
A tasting was organised and a shortlist of eight whiskies selected. Our criteria were simple - we wanted the whiskies to be easily accessible drams that could be found and enjoyed by everyone.
The whiskies were all:
Less than £50 / Non-Limited Editions / Non-Cask Strength
Sixty TWE customers along with invited bloggers and members of the press tried all eight blind and then voted for their favourites based solely on the flavour of the whiskies.

Coffee faces a 40% price jump
Some prized growing regions of Brazil could be hit with cold weather from the South Pole.
The industry has seen Brazilian frost wreak havoc on prices before. In 1994, a frost damaged coffee crops and prices rose 39%. If the same thing happens this year, coffee could hit a record $4.20 a pound, according to Bloomberg. And if coffee is that high at the wholesale level, just imagine what it will cost on store shelves.
As if that weren't bad enough, there's already a shortage this year of Arabica beans, causing prices to increase 24%. "If Brazil has a frost, not only will we see uncharted prices but the situation might become unbearable," industry analyst Rodrigo Costa told Bloomberg.
Kraft Foods (KFT) hiked the price of Maxwell House and Yuban by 22% last month. JM Smucker (SJM) upped prices for Folgers by 10% in February.
For now, the industry is watching the weather in Brazil intently, particularly the Center South region that produces the Arabica beans favored by Starbucks (SBUX) and other brewers. Cold weather from the South Pole is due in that region next month, Bloomberg reports, and the temperature is expected to fall to 41 degrees. Coffee trees are in danger below 34 degrees.
Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz is confident his company will have no coffee supply problem. Coffee suppliers say everything is fine, he told CNBC. The problem is that hedge funds and other speculators are pushing prices sky high.
"So we're living at a time right now where financial speculation index funds, hedge funds have created a rush of very, very high prices," Schultz said. "And not only coffee, corn, sugar, cotton and obviously oil, and unfortunately it has to hit the consumer."
Schultz added that he doesn't see much elasticity on coffee pricing. With the economic downturn, he said, the industry must be very conscious about prices.
Starbucks reported a 20% increase in quarterly profit Wednesday to $261.6 million, or 34 cents a share, meeting analyst expectations. Revenue rose 10% to $2.8 billion, which exceeded analyst expectations.
No problem. I drink at least a pot a day, but it is already ridiculously too high. They can keep it until the price goes down. I drink too much of it anyway and this would be a good time to quit. It's just like oil prices. It is all controlled and they set it at whatever they want. Case in point, during the oil spill last year they cut off oil in the gulf, but prices were the cheapest they had been in years. Why? To suck up to the public and counter the bad publicity. Now that he oil is flowing again, it's time to screw the public and jack the price up. Remember back in the fall, before the prices started to skyrocket, they predicted these high prices. How? Because they already knew what they were going to do. Same with Coffee. The prices are set at what the market will bear. We Americans are so spoiled and stupid that we will "bear" anything. It's out own fault. Time to step up and say, 'NO!"
And I saw a comment on can you grow a bean plant in the states....well yes but you need to research it first and follow close details to what they tell you. Enjoy

Perhaps the most humorous vehicle at Geneva Motor Show this week came from Mansory. Presenting G-Couture… The Mercedes G55 AMG was transformed with the help of Mansory and Philipp Plein – a renowned fashion and furniture designer.
We don't mind the fact that the SUV has 700hp. But things start getting crazy with the 23" wheels and carbon suit. From the lower window edge and froof, carbon is used.
The interior is equally flamboyant with leather, four single seats with carbon backs and matching luggage. From an SUV that used to be intended for the army, the Mansory example brings new meaning to the G-Wagon.

Physicists at at CERN are 99.99% certain that they've discovered a Particle that is very similar to Higgs Boson (a.k.a. God Particle). As always, a new discovery brings with it a new set of unanswered questions.
P.S. I didn't understand a thing that was said during the Announcement and that was when i truly realized the Quantum of my dumbness. Unlike Scientists at CERN, i can say with '100% certainty' that i'm imbecile. :-)
Twitter today once again showed that it blows Google+ and Facebook out of the water when it comes to breaking news.

Chris Cornell and Alabama Shakes are among the artists contributing tracks the official soundtrack album inspired by the upcoming drama, 12 Years a Slave .
The Soundgarden frontman has written an original song called "Misery Chain" for the project, which includes some additional vocals by singer/songwriter Joy Williams . Cornell says he was inspired to write "a hundred different songs" for the album, but settled on "Misery Chain."
"I was moved by this film and the story in a way that transcends any film experience I have ever had," he explains in a statement. "Compassion, basic human rights and love must be our priorities above race, religion or commerce. Every generation needs a reminder of that simple idea."
Alabama Shakes chose to cover a classic jazz track for the release, "Driva' Man," because of its central message. "There is no lightness in the music of 'Driva' Man' because there is no mention of freedom in this song," says frontwoman Brittany Howard in a statement. "The focus of the track is about an enslaved person reaching 'quittin' time' while also trying to please the overseer to avoid getting beaten. 12 Years is one of the most important films we have ever seen and it is important to us to give back some of what the movie has given to us."
The soundtrack album will be released digitally on November 5, followed by a physical release on November 19.
Here's the track list for Music from and Inspired by 12 Years a Slave :
"Devil's Dream" -- Tim Fain
"Roll Jordan Roll" -- John Legend
"Freight Train" -- Gary Clark Jr.
"Yarney's Waltz" -- Tim Fain and Caitlin Sullivan
"Driva Man" -- Alabama Shakes
"My Lord Sunshine (Sunrise)" -- David Hughey and Roosevelt Credit
"Move" -- John Legend feat. Fink
"Washington" -- Hans Zimmer
"(In the Evening) When the Sun Goes Down" -- Gary Clark Jr.
"Queen of the Field (Patsey's Song)" -- Alicia Keys
"Solomon" -- Hans Zimmer
"Little Girl Blue" -- Laura Mvula
"Misery Chain" -- Chris Cornell featuring Joy Williams
"Roll Jordan Roll" -- Topsy Chapman featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cast
"Money Musk" -- Tim Fain

Fisker had some issues with Karmas and spontaneous combustion, as of late, and even mentioning the word "Fire" in Fisker's home office is likely an offense likely worthy of firing. Wait, but you can't say "Firing" either, so how about "Termination." Reports out of New Jersey of Karmas catching fire following Hurricane Sandy couldn't have possibly come at a worse time.
According to the reports, a group of Fisker Karmas were sitting at port in New Jersey when seawater submerged them. A short time after their submersion, 16 of the stored Karmas burst into flames. From the images we are seeing, they are total losses and we will likely never know the precise cause, but Fisker is diligently investigating the situation.
One thing is for sure here, this will likely not have anything to do with a flaw in the Karma's design. It's likely no more Fisker's fault than a blow dryer's fault for you getting electrocuted while drying your hair in the bathtub. It's simple: deep water + electronics = "zap" and "boom." This is multiplied when you add in the corrosive salt in the ocean and the fact that these cars were likely submerged for a long time.
We are more concerned with whether these cars were already sold to customers or if they were just dealership stock. Plus, with the financial eggshells that all startups walk on, we are concerned with how losing this large of a percentage of Karmas produced will affect Fisker's 2012 and 2013 outlook.
We've reached out to Fisker to try to get a better grasp on the situation. We'll pass any information we get along to you.

Southside residents contend with spate of shootings
It was a normal-seeming morning on Sacramento Street on Friday, 14 hours after a man had been murdered on nearby Oregon Street.
Mothers pushed children strapped in their strollers. A man bought two cans of frosty Colt 45 beer and a quarter pint of cognac at Bob's Liquors. Two young men rapped on the metal gate leading to Perfect Plant Patient's Group, a medical cannabis collective.
Seal Lolis, the owner of Bootstrapper, a southern style restaurant on Sacramento, lit up the charcoal in the two barbecues right outside his bright red gate. Fridays are barbecue days at the Bootstrapper, and Lolis was getting ready to cook the ribs, links and chicken his regular customers look forward to.
Lolis had been just yards away from the 7:34 pm shooting on Thursday. He was working in his restaurant and heard the shots, but stayed inside. He has been operating a business on Sacramento Street for three years, but cannot remember another time there have been so many gun battles. … Continue reading »

Great purchase
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
Convenient and versatile. Light weight.
nice laptop case
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
It is sturdy and has a separate pocket for charge cord. I like the two handles.
positive & negative
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
This sleeve/case does the job for the most part. My 15" HP laptop & the wrapped cord fits fine, and the outside compartment accommodates papers or a folder. However, the shoulder strap soon developed a tear in one of the reinforced spots of the shoulder strap. It has not completely torn off & probably was caused by adding more items to the sleeve than it was designed for, increasing the overall weight, but it was a disappointment.
perfect gift
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
I bought this laptop case for my grandsons 16th birthday. He saved his paychecks to buy himself a laptop and I told him I would buy the carry case. He loves it. It's durable and looks very stylish, professional.

Great bag
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
Such a great bag where do I begin, first off I am not a novice to buying laptop bags, this is my 5th due to my need to purchase new laptops and them coming in different sizes so the need for various bags. I had them from netbook size to this 17 size, this bag was a bit harder to buy for-but Staples helped again as did the brand I buy a lot of items from Targus-I was worried about it fitting snug, but of course, I shouldn't have been, it's Targus and it's a perfect fit and had additional pockets for just my needs plus a outer pocket for my wires and wireless mouse-even put my phone wires there when traveling, very study and will continue to serve me well
Targus 17
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
The Targus 17' Sport Laptop Sleeve is a quality fully functional product. It's made of a soft padded material to protect your laptop from being damaged. It's interior houses a 17" Laptop and has a pocket for paperwork or other uses. The exterior has a large Velcro/snap pocket for additional storage. A detachable shoulder strap is also included. Overall, this Targus Laptop Sleeve is a valuable, economical necessity for transporting your laptop safely..
Computer Bag
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
I brought this case for my daughter because of the price and it fix my daughter's computer fine. I liked the weight of the case and the room for other things. I didn't want to spend a lot and this case works well.
Targus laptop / Tablet Bag
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
I have a discriminating taste when it comes to something like the choice of a computer bag. Although it may seem rather mundane to others, it is important to me. I use these types of bags on a daily basis. They have to be durable, in all weathers, all 12 months of the year.
I use them for their intended purpose of transporting my ever-present laptop, as well as my iPad Tablet, cables, wires, and books. I always add a multitude of other items as well.
However, as I am out on the street, I do not wish to advertize the contents to the general public. I am NOT ostentatious in my choice of apparel or tote bags. I have absolutely no intention of drawing undue attention to myself.
As this type of carrying case is with me on a daily basis, it HAS to be strong, with an equally sturdy carrying strap. However, I dislike undue bulk.
Targus is a quality item. I recently purchased this model, and was surprised at the outstanding quality for the very reasonable priice. I like the styling as well. Good work, Targus!
well made, just right
By RebeccaG
from New England
Comments about Targus® CVR200 Laptop Slip Case 15.4:
My new 15.6" laptop fits perfectly in the padded compartment with two way zipper. The outside pockets hold plenty- The zipper side holds cord and clip on speakers with room to spare. On the other side, I've actually stuffed quite a bit of paper with no problem. All the seams appear very strong and reinforced at strategic points. The fabric is very sturdy and wipes clean easily! The Tragus company responded promptly to my question about what materials are used, (asked for a family member with allergies -there's no latex anywhere) The shoulder strap is detachable too, so it's just right.
