In the last few years, electric vehicles have gone from a dream to the next logical step for vehicles. Of course, the future of EVs is still being debated, but IBM is using its cash and http://televideocom.com/cialis-canada influence to push for an electric vehicle battery that can carry a car 500 miles without recharging.
500 miles is www.markwellgroup.com.au a long way, longer than most gasoline engines. And while the batteries might still require a long charge at the http://www.bsd-berlin.de/soft-gel-viagra end of those 500 miles (longer than a five-minute gasoline fill up) it would still be a tremendous advantage over the cheapest tramadol available online 80 off 100 mile range of today's EVs.
There are a few paths to getting around this range problem. One is GM's "extended range electric vehicle" idea, which puts a gasoline generator in the car to recharge the batteries when they run low. Another is Shai Agassi's "Better Place" model, which has battery swapping stations scattered around the country for when you need a quick re-charge.
The third and most obvious option is to wait for battery technology to tramadol onformation get good enough to satisfy the demands of drivers. IBM, sick of cialis soft canada waiting, is pushing this direction hard. The project is called the "Battery 500 Project" and it focuses on look here where can i buy cialis advanced battery chemistries that will increase the www.hasselaar.nl "power density" of batteries. IBM's "Big Green" project last year asked for submissions for big green ideas, and the winning submission was the "Lithium Air Battery" which is what the Battery 500 Project will be focusing on.
Conceptually, lithium air batteries use lithium as the anode and oxygen as the cathode. Because oxygen would be fed into the battery from the surrounding air, the cathode would, in effect, be weightless. And because oxygen is available on demand, the only limiting factor is how to get free viagra how much contact the levitra discount battery can make with their air. That's where IBM's expertise comes in, they want to take their high-tech, nano-scale semiconductor manufacturing experience and use it to dramatically increase the surface area of the anode.
IBM is estimating that it will take two years to determine whether this technology is feasible. But even if that means it'll be five years before they hit the market, this will still be a huge breathrough for power storage technology.

The smartertechnology.com article you linked got it right, that the project is focused on increasing energy density. You'd want to increase the batteries power (energy/time) if you wanted a faster car, not one with a longer range.
written by Chris, October 05, 2009
Longer range is nice, but the current ranges are good enough if you focus on using electric cars just on a limited local basis. For longer distances, we would be better off using electrified rail. More info here:

Electricified rail for longer trips? I can't see it. Too many different destinations, too few travelers per destination. Note that even with big numbers of riders, commuter rail in metro areas has to be subsidized with tax money.

Common signs of calf scours:
Recommended treatments for calf scours:
The highest priority in treating scours is to give back to the calf the water and electrolytes that it has lost in scours – this is called fluid therapy. This corrects dehydration, restores normal acid-base balance, and replaces salts in the calf's bodily fluids. Methods include:
Calf scours prevention:
This all may seem overwhelming to inexperienced producers. They key is to prevent a scours infection and outbreak whenever possible. Good biosecury, hygiene and proper nutrition for the dam and calf are imperative. Infectious agents that cause calf scours are shed by healthy cows and calves so it is not considered practical to expect to prevent scours from ever occurring on your farm. A target should be to have no more than 2-3 percent of calves born each year develop scours.

"In my Italian-Spanish family," says Marea sous chef Lauren DeSteno, "food was the center of everything." So it came as little surprise to her parents when, after studying finance and Spanish at Fairfield University in Connecticut, DeSteno decided to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.
She launched her career at the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, Florida, then took a position at Manhattan's lauded Eleven Madison Park before joining the opening team of Michael White's seafood-centric Marea, also in Manhattan.
The New Jersey native, who admits to a love of Bruce Springsteen, spent a semester studying abroad in Seville, Spain. During that time, she lived with an old woman who had hosted dozens of traveling students over the years and who introduced her to the joy of a potato salad made with superlative olive oil-packed tuna. "It was all about good ingredients," says DeSteno.
Life's a Beach
On her days off during warm weather, DeSteno can often be found at her parents' house on the beach in New Jersey. She also likes to entertain friends in her West Village apartment. DeSteno is an avowed fashion nut and makes every attempt to catch up on neglected back issues of Women's Wear Daily when she has time. "I don't know what I was thinking," she says with a moan. "It comes every day!"
For her Spanish-style potato salad, DeSteno uses Yukon Gold potatoes and cans of tuna packed in olive-oil. She cautions against using supermarket tuna, and warns that you might need more dressing than you think. "You want it to pool in the bottom of the bowl. Soak it up with a chunk of bread."
Fish Tales
DeSteno works at Marea, a seafood-centric restaurant in New York City. Her tip for selecting seafood at the market is simple: Use your instinct. "If it doesn't look the way you think it should, don't buy it. Ask to smell it; it should smell like the ocean. And if you're buying a whole fish, look behind the gills. They should be bright red." She also advises finding a fish market you like and sticking with it. "You're the buyer," she encourages, "so you should get what you want."
Serves 4
Large eggs, 4
Yukon Gold potatoes, 2 medium (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
White wine vinegar, ½ cup
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, ½ cup (plus more for serving)
Scallions, 2 (thinly sliced on the bias)
Flat-leaf parsley leaves, ¾ cup (finely chopped)
Olive oil-packed tuna, one 6-ounce can or jar (preferably ventresca tuna belly)
Rustic Italian bread, sliced
Vegetable peeler
1. Make the eggs: In the medium saucepan, add the
- Eggs
Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs and set over high heat. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pot from the heat, cover and set a timer for 7 minutes. Uncover, pour out the hot water from the pot and fill the pot with cold water and ice. Set aside.
2. Make the potatoes: To the medium pot, add the
- Potato cubes
Cover with cold water and place over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the tip of the paring knife easily slides into the center of a cube, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and drain the potatoes through the colander. Shake out excess water and transfer the cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
3. Make the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl, add the
- White wine vinegar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Using the whisk, slowly whisk in the
- Olive oil
Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes and season to taste with more salt and pepper as needed. Use the wooden spoon to stir in
- ¾ of the scallions
- ¾ of the parsley
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and top with the
- Olive oil-packed tuna and the oil from the jar
4. Drain the boiled eggs and carefully peel. Once peeled, rinse the eggs under cold water to remove any remaining bits of shell. Slice the eggs into quarters lengthwise and arrange on the top of the potatoes and tuna. Sprinkle with the
- Remaining scallions
- Remaining parsley
- Drizzle of olive oil
Serve with
- Rustic Italian bread

Bishkek (in Kyrgyz and Russian: Бишкéк), formerly Pishpek and Frunze, is the capital and the largest city of Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek is also the administrative centre of Chuy Province which surrounds the city, even though the city itself is not part of the province but rather a province-level unit of Kyrgyzstan.
The name is thought to derive from a Kyrgyz word for a churn used to make fermented mare's milk (kumis), the Kyrgyz national drink. Founded in 1825 as a Khokand fortress of "Pishpek", on 4 September 1860 the fortress was seized by Russian forces led by colonel Zimmermann. In 1926 the city was given name Frunze, after the Bolshevik military leader Mikhail Frunze. In 1991, the Kyrgyz parliament again changed the capital's name to Bishkek.
Bishkek is situated at about 800 metres (2,600 ft) altitude just off the northern fringe of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too range, an extension of the Tian Shan mountain range, which rises up to 4,855 metres (15,928 ft) and provides a spectacular backdrop to the city. North of the city, a fertile and gently undulating steppe extends far north into neighbouring Kazakhstan. The Chui River drains most of the area. Bishkek is connected to the Turkestan-Siberia Railway by a spur line.
Bishkek is a city of wide boulevards and marble-faced public buildings combined with numerous Soviet-style apartment blocks surrounding interior courtyards and, especially outside the city centre, thousands of smaller privately built houses. It is laid out on a grid pattern, with most streets flanked on both sides by narrow irrigation channels that water the innumerable trees which provide shade in the hot summers.Contents

Ice Hockey
What are the big questions in ice hockey conditioning?
Some background: I am an associate professor and run a lab at UMass Lowell. I have recently started doing research on ice hockey conditioning as a mid career change and and am wondering if anyone else has a research program focused on ice hockey conditioning. I am building the research program around ice hockey, not around some aspect of conditioning or physiology with a tangential interest in ice hockey. The central component will be ice hockey and as such the work can take on several inter related questions across approaches (physiology, mechanics, motor control & learning, stress, adaptation, overtraining, psychophysics, social approaches like team coordination / dynamics) and hierarchical scales (individual player physiology, fitness at the individual, line, and squad levels, etc).
My question: Does anyone know whether someone has put together a compendium of the big open questions that are facing ice hockey strength and conditioning? If not, do you think such a compendium would be useful?
I am familiar with the literature that is out there. Do the questions raised by these studies represent the concerns / questions of ice hockey conditioning coaches? If so - please point me in the direction of those you find most helpful. If not, please feel free to post questions that you wish you had an answer to.
If you prefer - feel free to email me directly (email@example.com)
Hello Sean,
I have not heard of a compendium for Ice hockey conditioning. I don't believe one would be very useful in terms of research. What kind of research on Ice hockey conditioning are you looking to do? I played AAA ice hockey for a few years and played professional inline hockey. I played for Team VA, Team USA and was selected for the Jr. World USA team.
Hi Alex,
I am currently doing work on the relationship between aerobic capacity and recovery from repeated bouts of anaerobic work. We have shown there is a relationship using VO2 max and bouts of all out work that last about a minute with 3 minutes of rest in between (to mimic on ice shifts and off ice rest breaks) and will be putting a paper out soon about these findings. There are several directions this work could go.

I'm an LA-based writer who, after years of covering sex tips and diet tricks for magazines and the web, has recently discovered a new hard-hitting topic: Mommyhood! With two identical twin baby boys to raise (pause for audible gasp), I'm sleepless and brainless, but wow, am I in love. And like any smitten girl, I can't seem to shut up about these little guys, totally caught up in the highs and lows (cause yes, there are lows) of being a new Mommy.
A blended margarita with salt sure is nice.
also find Jenny here:
Before I had kids, I'd look at my friends who were already parents -- tired and run-down, lacking any of that spark they had pre-baby -- and think, "Oh, I would never let that happen to us." It's what we all say before we become parents, as we make googly eyes at each other over a shared cheese plate and shake our heads at those poor, sad saps (the parents of young kids) at the next table.
When I was pregnant, we agreed to still make our relationship a priority. We would get babysitters regularly. And, since we were homebodies anyway, we wouldn't really mind staying in most Saturday nights, right? But what neither of us was really prepared for was the strain that having kids put on our day-to-day. Despite our best intentions, our babies put a damper on our relationship.
A gentlemen's lunchAt 15 months old, my twin boys are starting to transition to one nap, or so it seems. After a couple of weeks of listening to them babble and squeal at each other for an hour straight during their afternoon "nap," I started pushing it back. They don't go down until closer to 3:30 now. That would be fine, except their friends (you know, the super cool babies they met at playgroups who they keep begging me to hang out with) are waking up from their second nap right around the time that my guys are going down. My happy hour playdates -- over! Thanks a lot, kids.
I mean, it's not like I don't get together with my friends, because I do. But it's either because their babies' naps are all effed up too or they just kind of take naps whenever and wherever. So hallelujah for those mom friends who don't have the same rigid parenting philosophies that I do because I need these playdates. Playdates save my sanity!
My boy, before he dived off the couchSo, you know all those things they tell you about toddler boys being really active and wild and mischievous? You know those warnings from Moms of older boys, that usually come with that, "Oh just you wait" smirk? Well, I guess I really should have listened because now that my twins are upright, they've turned into pint-size stuntmen. God help me!
They're climbing on the bookshelves, hanging off the baby gates, walking up slides and racing up playground steps. I want to be cool about it, I do -- not hover, not panic, just let boys be boys. But, dammit, they're my little precious baby boo-boo's and they're going to hurt themselves! Am I really supposed to let them learn the hard way?
It goes without saying that we're all proud of our kids, not just because they're clearly math whizzes/Pulitzer Prize winners/CEOs/cancer-curing doctors in the making, but because, well, they're ours. But when your little baby suddenly becomes a capable little toddler, you start to see glimpses of who he will be, peeks at his character, this budding person-of-the-world. You get to witness these really telling moments, little acts of kindness or bravery that make your heart swell with pride, bring weepy, happy tears to your eyes. They're the moments you want to video and share with your friends and family. Oh never mind, you just put them up on Facebook because, hell yeah, you think everyone needs to know.
A couple of weeks ago, my 14-month-old twin boys started walking, and while I was obviously proud of those first steps, I was even more proud of the steps they took to get there.
All right, I'm just going to say this: The vast majority of Dads don't do nearly as much as the Moms do when it comes to child-rearing. Sure, they're devoted and loving and all of that, they take their kids to baseball games and out for ice cream and roughhouse with them on the floor. But when it comes to the day-to-the-day, I'd say that for the most part, it falls squarely on Mom's shoulders, whether you're a working Mom or stay-at-home. (Of course, stay-at-home Dads are rock stars when it comes to parenting, so they're not included in this discussion.)
You could blame it on women's natural impulse to nurture, and men's natural impulse to provide. But I call bullshit on all of that. I think the reasons why Dads don't often pull as much of the parenting weight is because we let them off the hook too easily. And then we resent them for not doing enough.

Nerve.com columnist Reverend Jen bares her body and her soul in her sweet and sassy memoir, Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen.
The year after Sex and the City went off the air, an artist named Reverend Jen with a penchant for wearing elf ears in public took on the very Bradshaw-esque mantle of sex columnist for the notorious hipster hookup site Nerve.com. Unlike her TV counterpart, though, Jen isn't a perfectly coiffed uptown girl with a closet full of designer shoes. She's more like us, actually, only weirder. A Lower East Side, N.Y.C., fixture, Jen earned her moniker Patron Saint of the Uncool through her tireless hosting of a long-running open-mic night catering to misfits. Jen's main qualification for her new job appeared to be fearlessness. And it's in that spirit that she now takes readers behind the scenes through all the trials and tribulations she endured conducting "sexperiments," for her series of reports called "I Did It for Science."

Michigan Department of Human Services, Michigan Land Bank and MSHDA announce $15 Million in Blight Elimination FundingContact: Dave Akerly, Director of Marketing and Public Relations 517-373-7394
Lansing, Mich. Feb. 20, 2013- DHS Director Maura Corrigan is pleased to announce that 34 municipal, township and county entities statewide will share in $15 million in funding to help eliminate blight in their communities.
The awards range from approx. $3.7 million to the Genesee County Land Bank to $10,000 awarded to the Houghton County Land Bank. All geographic regions of the state have been represented in the final funding decision.
Funding for these awards comes from a March 2012 settlement reached by 49 state attorneys general, including Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, following a lawsuit over mortgage foreclosure practices. Among other things, the settlement resulted in payments to the states. Of Michigan's $97.2 million share, the legislature through state law allocated $25 million to the creation of a Blight Elimination Program to help communities demolish vacant and abandoned properties with the goal of promoting public safety, stabilizing property values and enhancing current and future development opportunities.
The Blight Elimination Program is a partnership between DHS, the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority (MLB) and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
Legislation authorizing this initiative allocated $10 million for demolition in the City of Detroit and $15 million for demolition projects elsewhere in Michigan. The funding for Detroit is being used to eliminate blight around select schools involved in the initial phase of the Pathways to Potential program. DHS, the Michigan Land Bank and MSHDA have now chosen the project areas to fund with the remaining $15 million allocated to the outstate portion of this program. More than 90 separate requests for funds were received by the state during the recent application phase. A web page with the application procedure and FAQ's can be found at www.michigan.gov/pathwaystopotential.
"The volume of requests received clearly shows Michigan communities are serious about getting rid of blight and are willing to aggressively pursue opportunities to eliminate it," said Corrigan, also a member of the MSHDA Board of Directors. "People want to live in safe and vibrant communities. Funding these individual projects across our state will help clear the way-literally-for the reinvention of Michigan."
Applicants for these awards were asked to provide a detailed description of their proposed project(s), including a post-demolition land use plan. They were also asked to explain in detail the anticipated benefits aimed at public safety, property value stabilization and economic development. Descriptions of local support along with additional public and private investment in the project(s) were also requested.
"The Michigan State Housing Development Authority was proud to partner in the review process with DHS and the MLB," said MSHDA Executive Director Scott Woosley, also a member of the MLB Fast Track Authority Board of Directors. "This effort reflects our agencies collective understanding that moving Michigan forward requires bold action. Removing blight will help revitalize cities and neighborhoods around the state and open those areas to community and economic development activity."
"The demolition of blighted and abandoned properties has a tremendous impact on the lives of the families who live near them," MLB Executive Director Kim Homan said. "The Michigan Land Bank looks forward to working closely with our partners as we continue to revitalize our communities and strengthen local economies."
Listed below are the various municipal, county and township entities that have been awarded a portion of the outstate funding. Please contact the grantees for specific details of their individual blight elimination project(s).

My wife loves these. So much so that she doesn't want to wear them and get them 'dirty'. She'll get there.
Nice boots my wife really liked them. We did order 1 size smaller and they fit right on the button, if you want more room for thick socks order your correct size and you will have room for thick socks.
like the boots
As expected.
Thank you I LOVE my new snow boots. They are cozy and very comfortable. I'm glad I didn't order a size smaller as some of the reviews suggested as they fit perfectly with heavy winter sox. Dora Nelson

Magic Leap, a Hollywood-based company developing wearable technology and a product it calls "Cinematic Reality," announced this week that it closed a venture capital round and has now raised more than $50 million to develop its proprietary technology platform. Few details were released, including who led the investment.
Rony Abovitz, Magic Leap's co-founder, president and CEO, was also vague on product details, but on Friday said: "Cinematic Reality is a new medium for human visual/sensory interaction with the digital world...We are working on some things that we believe are groundbreaking and revolutionary in terms of human-computing interaction -- something that is very friendly and organic to the normal workings of human biology."
Prior to launching Magic Leap in 2011, Abovitz was the co-founder and head of development and technology for MAKO Surgical, a Davie-based manufacturer of robotic surgery tools that was recently acquired by Stryker Corp. for $1.65 billion. On Magic Leap's board of directors and listed as a co-founder is Academy Award winner Richard Taylor, founder of Weta Workshop, a design studio/manufacturing facilily that has worked on The Hobbit, Man of Steel, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Avatar and other movies.

Rapid Advances in Overcoming Drug Resistance to Molecularly Targeted Therapies
Virtually every oncologist has been faced with a patient who developed resistance to a chemotherapy treatment that had been working - this is called acquired drug resistance. Targeted therapies are not immune to this phenomenon, including the most successful targeted agent, imatinib (Gleevec).
The FDA's approval of imatinib for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 2001 launched the era of targeted therapy for cancer treatment. The drug directly inhibits an abnormal protein tyrosine kinase on white blood cells called BCR-ABL that, instead of regulating cell growth, remains continually active, fueling uncontrolled cancer cell growth in this form of leukemia.
"Many patients who initially respond well to imatinib therapy are at risk of developing resistance to the drug and suffering relapse - even those whose disease may appear to be in complete remission," explains Dr. R. Allan Mufson, chief of the Cancer Immunology and Hematology Branch in NCI's Division of Cancer Biology. Resistance comes on, Dr. Mufson adds, as the leukemia cells begin to derive mutations in BCR-ABL that prevent the drug from binding, rendering it impotent.
"We now know of over 30 different mutations that can cause BCR-ABL to become resistant to imatinib," says Dr. Charles Sawyers of UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center. "In patients with newly diagnosed disease, we are seeing resistance to imatinib in about 4 percent of patients per year. The further the disease has progressed before initiating imatinib treatment, the greater the chances are that resistance will arise."
In many cases, practicing oncologists whose patients become resistant to chemotherapy have few, if any, options to combat the problem. But that's beginning to change. Recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of many cancers are allowing researchers to reverse engineer therapeutics by identifying the source of resistance and developing agents to combat it. The rapid development and testing of several second-generation therapies aimed at overcoming imatinib resistance is a case in point.
Studies on two new compounds - BMS354825 and AMN107 - have generated excitement. Like imatinib, both agents inhibit the aberrant function of the BCR-ABL kinase. Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) was already developing BMS354825 to inhibit a closely related kinase in solid tumors. Following Dr. Sawyers' presentation at a scientific conference on potential methods to combat imatinib resistance, BMS officials contacted him to see if their agent might fit the bill. AMN107, on the other hand, was specifically designed by Novartis to overcome imatinib resistance based on their studies of the molecular interactions between BCR-ABL and imatinib. Both new drugs are less specific than imatinib, which allows them to bind and inhibit many imatinib-resistant mutants. They are also more potent than imatinib, meaning less of the drug is needed to cause the same biological effect.
"Preclinical studies show BMS354825 is about 300 times more potent than imatinib, and AMN107 is about 20 times more potent than imatinib," says Dr. Sawyers.
Last summer, Dr. Sawyers and colleagues published a report in Science on their preclinical studies with BMS354825. The drug, they reported, was effective against 14 of the 15 different imatinib-resistant mutations tested, and significantly prolonged the survival of mice with CML.
Based on these studies, BMS began a phase I clinical trial in conjunction with Dr. Sawyers and Dr. Moshe Talpaz at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Preliminary trial results, reported in December 2004 at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, showed that BMS354825 overcame imatinib resistance in 31 of 36 patients.
"We have seen outstanding responses with no side effects in patients with all phases of the disease," comments Dr. Hagop Kantarjian, another clinician involved in the clinical trial and principal investigator of the leukemia-focused NCI Specialized Program of Research Excellence at M.D. Anderson.
While the phase I trial with BMS354825 is almost complete, Dr. Sawyers explains, "Our results to date are so promising that we have already begun the phase II portion."
Preliminary results from the phase I trial testing AMN107 in patients with imatinib-resistant disease show no adverse effects in any of the 95 patients treated, says Dr. Kantarjian, who also is involved in trials developing that agent. "Most of our patients are in later stages of the disease, and we are getting an early response rate of about 50-60 percent." Currently researchers are correlating responses with particular BCR-ABL mutations and trying to determine the optimal dose for the phase II portion of the study.
"Both BMS354825 and AMN 107 seem to have similar clinical potency. These new drugs pave the way for designer cancer treatments that could be used as second-line therapies for those who develop resistance to imatinib," says Dr. Kantarjian. "Alternatively, these drugs could be administered as an initial kinase inhibitor cocktail to prevent the development of resistance to any of the particular drugs - akin to how protease inhibitor cocktails are used to treat HIV."

Republican Scott Brown won a huge victory over Democrat Martha Coakley on Tuesday to fill the former Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts. Read more on Scott Brown's win and see his acceptance speech video below!
Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley called to concede the race for the Massachusetts Senate special election.
"Tonight the independent voice of Massachusetts has spoken," Brown said to supporters at his victory rally.
Brown's victory is the very first for Republicans at the Senate level for Republican in Massachusetts since 1972.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said President Obama called Scott Brown and "congratulated Senator Brown on his victory and a well-run campaign."
Scott Brown will give Republicans a 41st seat in the Senate, which will rob the Democrats of the majority they had used to pass President Obama's health care plan recently.
"Democrats will try to play this race off as an isolated incident, but the recent spate of polling in swing districts across the country proves that Massachusetts isn't the exception of the 2010 election cycle, its the rule," said National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Ken Spain. "Any Democrat who voted for the health care bill now knows how big of an albatross they will have hanging around their necks."
Congrats to Scott Brown on his huge win!

Thanks for the question. Performance issues are always difficult to troubleshoot over email or in a forum as it can take a lot of digging to find the root cause. Still, let me see if may be able to give you some ideas to help you track down that root cause. Here are the first things I would check:
1) Are the VMware tools installed inside the Win 2000 VM?
2) If you really cannot ping the Win 2000 VM, is the virtual networking configured correctly?
3) I am not sure what tool you used to perform a performance test. I would start with just running task manager and Windows performance monitor in the guest VM to see how it thinks the VM is performing. Perhaps you will find that there is high CPU, RAM, Network, or Disk utilization in the VM. These could either be caused by processes/applications running in the VM guest, or you may discover that what you really want to run takes more horsepower than you have allocated to the VM (in that case you need to edit the virtual hardware and "virtually" upgrade this VM)
Finally, I would recommend upgrading your virtualization platform to VMware Server 2.x or ESXi as both will likely give you much better performance (actually, maybe you should do this first).
I hope that helps!
Thank you,

The fishy truth about seafood labeling
With a new report finding most seafood is mislabeled, is it time for the government to prevent 'Ex-Lax fish' from being sold as tuna?
Before you order tuna sushi, you might want to think about this fact: 44% of all sushi venues, grocery stores and restaurants have mislabeled their seafood in recent years, according to a recent report from Oceana.
In fact, that tuna might just be escolar, a fish that's sometimes called the "Ex-Lax fish" because it causes severe gastrointestinal distress in some people. (And bad news for sushi lovers in New York, Washington, Chicago and Austin, Texas: The study found that every sushi venue it tested in those cities mislabeled fish.)
The worst victims of mislabeling were fish sold as either snapper or tuna, with 87% and 59% of the samples misidentified, the report notes. The study was conducted from 2010 to 2012.
While that might strike some consumers as a mere inconvenience, it's serious for some. That's because 84% of the white tuna samples were actually escolar, which is also sold under the names "butterfish" or "oilfish."
It's such a controversial fish that Massachusetts is proposing a ban on selling it, and Japan and Italy have already outlawed the critter, according to The Boston Globe.
Given the potential health problems -- not to mention the annoyance of suspecting you've paid a premium for something that's not red snapper -- Oceana is urging the government to step in.
"By requiring full traceability of all seafood sold in the U.S., our government can protect consumers from seafood fraud, while keeping illegally caught fish out of our market," the ocean conservation group said. It added, "Today, more than 90% of the seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported, and less than 1% is inspected by the government specifically for fraud."
Food fraud isn't a small problem. A 2010 report from the Grocery Manufacturer's Association found that the counterfeiting of global food and consumer products costs the industry as much as $15 billion a year.
In the meantime, Oceana has some recommendations for consumers: Ask questions, check the price ("if the price is too good to be true, it probably is") and purchase the whole fish, which makes it easier to identify.

Hunger a reality for more U.S. households
USDA study shows a sharp increase in the number of households that run out of food.
The Great Recession will be known for many things -- home foreclosures, lost jobs, inappropriate bonuses on Wall Street.
For us, it has a new face: Nearly one in four U.S. children "struggled last year to get enough to eat," The Washington Post said in a story about a newly released government report.
- Bing: Eat healthy for less
"This is unthinkable. It's like we are living in a Third World country," Vicki Escarra, president of Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks, told the Post.
The Post reports:
In 2008, nearly 17 million children, or 22.5%, lived in households in which food at times was scarce -- 4 million children more than the year before. And the number of youngsters who sometimes were outright hungry rose from nearly 700,000 to almost 1.1 million.
The study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, based on a U.S. Census survey in December, showed a 36% increase in the number of Americans facing food shortages and the worst figures since USDA began keeping track in 1995.
"The true situation is probably worse than we're seeing (in the USDA report), since that reflects year-old figures," Food Bank of Northern Indiana CEO Lisa Jaworski told WSBT. "For us here, back in 2005, 2006 and 2007, 300 to 400 families a month was the average (helped). We have had several months this past year where we're over 2,500 families in a month."
Also from the USDA report:
- All told, about 16% of Americans, or 49 million people, experienced food shortages at home. That amounts to 14.6% of U.S. households.
- In households with children, the number leaps to 21%.
- In households headed by single mothers, one in three experienced food shortages, and in one of seven such households someone has gone without eating anything at all.
- Just over half of the households with food shortages had used government food programs like food stamps, WIC or subsidized school lunches in the previous month.
- The problem is not limited to the unemployed. The Post said, "The report's main author at USDA, Mark Nord, noted that other recent research by the agency has found that most families in which food is scarce contain at least one adult with a full-time job, suggesting that the problem lies at least partly in wages, not entirely an absence of work."
The Philadelphia Inquirer also reported that hunger isn't limited to the poorest families:
Indeed, the report showed that 42% of households that came up short on food are between 130% and 185% of the federal poverty level. A family of four at 130% of poverty makes around $29,000 annually; at 185%, it's more than $40,000 annually.What can we do?
- When a letter comes from Feeding America or your state food bank network, send a check. Giving money to such organizations goes a lot further than donating cans of soup or other nonperishables. A $1 donation can buy up to 20 pounds of food.
- Donate food as well. A recent ELF drive in our community helped resupply the local food bank and soup kitchen at a critical time of year. This timeless story at MSN Money will tell you what items food banks need most. Hint: Don't be like the lady who donated opened packages of sandwich meat to our local soup kitchen.
- Volunteer your time. Food banks and soup kitchens can operate on a shoestring because most of the staffers aren't paid.
- Encourage your local supermarket to donate to food banks and soup kitchens. Those that do are protected from liability by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, so don't let the store manager use that as an excuse.
Even if your circumstances don't require that you cut back on holiday spending this year, do so and donate the money you save to feed hungry people.

Kasi Baker, Minnesota School of Cosmetology
THE TREND: Decibel
"I used 10 different colors in this Mohawk. It took me an entire day to figure out which colors I was going to use—I finally decided with diluted pastels." To achieve the look, Baker spread Wella's Rugged Fix Matt Molding Creme throughout and backcombed all of the hair straight up for the Mohawk effect. Then, use a backcombing brush to make the style look smoother. "The look incorporates a lot of hairspray, and lots of time going in and refining the curls. If you are creating a Mohawk, stand directly in back of them to make sure the results turns out straight."
Ashlee Harman, Angelisa's Salon, WI
THE TREND: Allegra
"First, I decided on the trend I wanted—Allegra—then I created a mood board by placing different pieces of fabric, jewels and pages from magazines to create an overall feel for what I wanted. Each time we did a practice run we gradually took something from the mood board and added it to our model. I wrote down my technique each time until we perfected it. After a three month period this is what my assistant and I came up with."
Kathryn Hornick, Root Salon, MN
THE TREND: Decibel
Hornick created a geometric cut on top of a mullet; the look is very soft with a lot of texture in the back—Hornick calls it "dual texture." "For geometric cutting it's all about the shape and where the hair naturally lies on the head. For my model, I constantly had her wave her hair back and forth multiple times to see where the hair naturally fell. If you're doing a geometric cut, I recommend accessing your work from different pivot points, even as far as 40 ft away, and seeing it in another person's view.
Miroslav "Yomi" Kabic, Yomi's Salon, WI
THE TREND: Fusion
"This look took a lot of planning. After about six or seven different mannequins we came up with the final look, trying to mimic the Fusion trend in a creative way. This look is similar to an undercut and features slight graduation. I used zig zag foils when placing the color and concentrated them towards the front of the hair. I put a personal spin on it by putting my own initial in it! "If you look on the side you will see an 'M' for Miroslav."

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Shirts created to honor the families of three fallen Fairchild Airmen have raised $44,520. A fundraiser launched online on May 7th sold 3,535 t-shirts.
Proceeds from the $20 shirts will go to the families of Capt. Mark T. "Tyler" Voss, Capt. Victoria A. "Tori" Pinckney, and Tech. Sgt. Herman "Tre" Mackey III.
The three airmen died when their KC-175 crashed in Kyrgyzstan.
Brandy Tiffany came up with the idea for her husband who was deployed overseas. Then other's wanted to own the shirt too. Former KC-135 tanker Boom Operator, Sarah Sevigney, worked with Tiffany on the t-shirt campaign at Fairchild.
The t-shirt features the Manas Transit Center squadron path, the names of the airmen, and the name of the mission, which was Shell 77. There's also a poem on the back of the t-shirt that was written about the crash by a retired air crew member.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Courtney Walker scored 12 points to lead a strong perimeter game by No. 20 Texas A&M in its 64-46 win over No. 13 Georgia on Sunday night.
Kelsey Bone, the Southeastern Conference's leading scorer and rebounder, saw her streak of 5 straight double-doubles for Texas A&M (14-5, 4-1) come to an end as she had 10 points and eight rebounds. She spent long stretches on the bench with foul trouble.
But the Aggies hit 51% (26 of 51) from the field and made 5 of 10 3-pointers.
Jasmine Hassell scored nine points to lead Georgia (16-3, 4-2), which shot 29.1% (16 of 55), including 1 of 6 3-pointers.
Texas A&M pulled away in the last 11:27 before halftime. The Lady Bulldogs trailed 11-10 after Jasmine Jones' short jumper, but the Aggies responded with a 13-0 run and outscored Georgia 28-6 over the remainder of the half.

Fast start leads Celtics to win over Nuggets
Although it wasn't the prettiest of wins, the Celtics were able to top the Nuggets, 106-98, Friday night at TD Garden for their second straight win. The C's jumped out to a 42-15 lead, but allowed the Nuggets to get back to within six in the third quarter before holding on for a eight-point win.
Jordan Crawford led the Celtics with 22 points and eight assists, but the biggest story of the game for the home team was the play of Kris Humphries off the bench as he finished with 18 points and seven rebounds. Avery Bradley added 18, while Jeff Green and Brandon Bass contributed 15 and 14 respectively in the win.
Ty Lawson led Denver with 20 points before leaving the game with a strained left hamstring.
The Celtics will return to action Sunday afternoon (12 p.m., CSN) when they travel to New York City to take on the Knicks.
What they'll be saying: Obviously the C's fast start was the big story of the game as they led, 39-15, after the first quarter, but once again their poor third quarter play came up as they were outscored, 33-23, to allow the Nuggets to get back in the game.
Sharp shooting was a major reason for scoring 106 points as the team shot 52 percent from the floor and only committed 10 turnovers.

A 15-year-old in Stockbridge, Georgia deserves a medal for the type of bravery he exuded on Sunday morning. As a fire consumed the home he lived in with his parents and 25-year-old sister, Michael Haney did his best to get his loved ones out. When he exited the house, it sounds like he realized his parents and sister were still inside, and he ran back in to try and save them.
As a neighbor described:
If it weren't for Michael, they'd [the parents] be dead. He's the one that ran upstairs, woke them up, and told them the house was on fire. He took them out and went back for his sister.
The fire allegedly started in the basement, where Michael's room was, so it's plausible he was aware of the situation before anyone else in the home.
Can you imagine the courage it must take to run into a burning house and save your family? It wasn't without risk, either. Michael was airlifted to an Augusta hospital and is now in critical condition; he's being treated for severe smoke inhalation in a hyperbaric chamber.
His sister, Karen, isn't as fortunate. She died at the hospital and an autopsy will discover the cause of death. Evidently, Karen was mentally and physically disabled and fought Michael as he tried to get her out.
Michael's being called a hero, as well he should be. His instinct to put his life in danger in order to save others is a testament to his character and his upbringing. The neighbors explain that they tried to help but it was too smoky -- that didn't stop the determined teen.
His parents are with him in Augusta and everyone's praying for a full recovery as he fights for his life. It sounds like, more than anyone, Michael deserves a second chance.
What do you think of this story?
Photo via tier3media/Flickr
Brave, brave guy. I hope he makes a full recovery and the parents don't lose another one of their children.
This is so touching. They must've been some amazing parents to raise a strong loving child like that. I pray that he wins his fight. He deserves to live.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. You are a brave man to save your family. You are a hero!!
That young man is, just amazing. Jesus, please watch over this young man, & his family. They sound like, very good people, & need to be together, at this point in time.

I can understan why Sunday sales of alcohol was approved by the populace, with unemployment at historic levels, produce rotting in the fields because of no pickers and the threat of nuclear proliferation from Iran, no wonder the citizens want to be "sloshed" 7 days a week. Cannot blame you for that.

SPLOST voters are sheep Kyle. Facts mean nothing. Who cares that the teachers were corrupt, who cares the board is corrupt. They just want to be able to say that they voted for the kids. Doesnt matter that those overseeing the money are idiots.
Ohio, I expected nothing less. Those guys saw the pipe line being cut off. WSB, Welcome South Brother. Bring that business on down to us, just keep your current staff up there.
Beer/ So what, no big deal.

Whoever proposed the so-called "Personhood" amendment needs to be voted out as soon as the opportunity becomes available in Miss. Gosh… To Repubs, it's great to try and protect life (except when it is outside of the womb, of course) but how does one even know what minute and day "life began" in the womb? Under Taliban-like laws like these, many women could be criminalized even for having heavy monthly cycles, among other health-related issues.
Republicants love to tell us about how they want freedom and how much they want the govt out of "our" lives until they get into power. Then they want to control every aspect of our lives, telling us who one can kiss and cannot, when one can buy beer and cannot, when and how one can have sex, etc. The American people will vote out all these frauds when their times are due.

"Personhood" rejected surprisingly? Get your head out of your rear. That legislation as pure crap and you all know it. Georgians finally took a step towards getting out of the Stone Age yesterday and Mississippians prevented themselves from going back into it. This should be a wake-up call to Republicans everywhere that they need to start focusing on REAL issues.

"God is a lie" sure wears his atheism on his sleeve. Good to see. We need more atheists in general. Some states still don't even let atheists hold any public office.
It will be great to be able to buy that bottle of wine or six pak of micro-brew for that impromtu Sunday get together…finally!

To me the most remarkable part of Kyle article is the effort to cheapen the rejection of the Ohio's attack on collective bargaining. No mention of the will of the people, just a sophomoric mocking that those "job creators" might want to move to the states where the protection of workers' rights is the weakest.

The anti-abortion movement is determined to overthrow Roe V Wade no matter how long it takes. I wish they would take all that energy and dedecation and work on caring for the unwanted children already born in America. They could help at getting children adopted, set up parenting classing for those who need them and establish new orphanages, just to name a few things needed. Instead, they demand women have babies they don't want and then, once they are born, could not possibly care less what happens to these children. There is something seriously wrong with the mental state of these people.
November 9th, 2011

When the voters vote for things that Kyle and his minions are for it is democracy in action. When the voters vote for things that Kyle and his minions are against it is "surprisingly rejected" or "makes one wonder". I guess in Kyle's view these voters must be just plain dumb because they don't see it his way.

Plenty of business has already left Ohio and plenty more will in the future. The measure was an attempt to stop the exodus and now it will continue or even speed up. Have you noticed how many cars with Ohio plates are sporting around in Hotlanta now?

I'm torn on the Sunday sales issue. On the personal side, I favor anything that serves as a barrier between alcohol and people. Just a personal preference. There are many reasons not to drink, no benefit whatsoever for me to imbibe.
On the professional side, I work at a 911 center. Alcohol involved incidents make up a large portion of the calls we handle, day in and day out. So I hesitate to 'bite the hand that feeds me', so to speak. Alcohol consumption often turns minor personal matters in to calls for law enforcement or EMS intervention. That's where I come in. It certainly helps MY economy.

So bringing in beer sales on Sunday is a defeat to cons, really. I had no ideal that in the history of Georgia thru all the Democrat governors, mayors, senators, reps, that it was the cons all along that was preventing the sale, who knew. Amazing what you can learn in a blog.

Hey steverino. I agree that booze is more of a "problem" in our society than people want to admit. If all those drinkers just switched to grass, those deaths would drop significantly, yet it's still illegal. Now THAT is crazy.

Don't forget Dekalb county's SPLOST "victory". Criminal charges arose from the last SPLOST. Yet the sheep in the county blindly hand over a new pot of money to the (mostly) same people who failed to effectively administer the last SPLOST windfall. Pathetic.

The Sunday alcohol sales war has certainly been interesting to watch for this far Northwesterner. You could always go to a bar or restaurant on Sunday, get as plastered as you want, then get in your car and kill a few folk. Haven't figured out why the religious teetotalers preferred death on the highways. Seems to me to be far safer to let folks make their choices at a store, GO HOME and THEN do what they will. That's logic speaking (silly me); I don't actually know if the change in law will change behavior. It would be an interesting study to see if Sunday sales affect the incidence alcohol-related accidents.

Regarding Ohio, If anybody thinks that Georgia can create jobs by cutting taxes to the bone while also allowing our infrastructure and education system to deteriorate, then I'm afraid that our high unemployment rate isn't going to come down anytime soon.
While we're on the subject of Ohio's referendum, compare the quality of the education systems where teachers are unionized vs. education systems were teachers are not unionized and see how Georgia and other non-union states hold up.

Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee, has said that he "absolutely" supports a similar personhood amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Since all the other Republican candidates are to the right of him, I suspect that they feel the same way. Even "libertarian" Ron Paul is anti-choice.
In addition, while the Republican-led House of Representatives has done little to nothing to create jobs in this country, they've been extremely active passing anti-choice legislation.
November 9th, 2011

Kyle, it may be that the personhood movement is not mainstream Republican ideology. But it's getting closer every day.

Kyle Wingfield @9:41 am
I know that it bill concerned public sector unions. What you are avoiding is the fact that the majority of the voters in Ohio support the right of those unions for collective bargaining. They are aware that the public sector unions are making concession to help the budget problems of the state. To argue (gleefully) that this issue would make private companies move elsewhere is both simplistic and insulting to those companies, which have some sense of civic responsibility.
November 9th, 2011
11:13 am
Agreed that personhood isn't mainstream Kyle, but the fringe has seemingly been controlling the party on all issues. Good to see some rationality. This is actually great news for Romney…
November 9th, 2011
11:18 am
I'm not aware of one piece of legislation that House Republicans have created that would create jobs. Not one. I suppose they might say that their austerity budgets, such as the Ryan plan, would create jobs…or their legislation to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency or their efforts to bust federal government unions, but saying they passed legislation to create jobs and actually passing legislation to create jobs are two different things. As far as I can tell, House Republicans are actually blocking efforts to create jobs, I suspect, to help their chances in the 2012 election.
I'm sure there's a more comprehensive list out there, but I found a Republican bill to imprison doctors who fail to notify the parents of minors who want an abortion; a separate Republican effort to cut off Planned Parenthood, ostensibly to eliminate government-funded abortion that doesn't exist; a separate Republican plan called the "Protect Life Act" that would ban women from using the health reform law's tax subsidies to purchase health plans that cover abortions (most health plans do) and of course the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act", which redefined rape as "forcible rape" such that, for example, a 13-year-old girl impregnated by an adult would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion. I think there are more out there, but you get the message.
November 9th, 2011
11:31 am
I don't know how others define mainstream, but Mitt Romney went on television and said that he would support a personhood amendment to the U.S. constitution. When a major Republican candidate says that on a major Republican news show to pander to the Republican base, then that's mainstream enough for me…at least among the Republican elites and a large bloc of their voting base. It also gives us an indication of the kind of justices that Romney might appoint (or might not, since we're talking about Romney).

Sure, say what you want about the cheating scandal in APS. But we will not make the kids suffer for the actions of the adults. We can replace the adults, but not the kids.
We voted for the kids, they are who we want to succeed.
Sorry if anybody out there doesn't see it that way.
November 9th, 2011

I don't disagree with them about how to create jobs. They know as well as I do that their agenda isn't a jobs agenda. Giving it that label is just marketing. If they're good at anything, they're good at marketing.

The extension of the SPLOST in Atlanta makes one wonder if any of these special sales taxes will ever go away.
That's why SPLOST elections are held in off-years, when they know few people will go to the polls. If success of your vote depends on low turnout, that ought to tell people something. (I'm speaking SPLOST's in general and not Atlanta's specifically).
the sound of pent-up public demand for Sunday retail sales of alcohol being released.
It was just as much, if not more so, a victory for the convenience store lobby, who pushed, over the owners of package stores, who were generally against it. The convenience stores were open on Sunday anyway, now the package stores will go to a 7 day week. Ain't progress grand?
I normally don't go for the job-pilfering in which states offer incentives to companies to move their operations, in the name of job "creation."
The only winners in these deals are the companies that play one state against another, like a cheap violin.
November 9th, 2011
11:56 am
kyle says: one wonder if any of these special sales taxes will ever go away.
There is a surefire way to make SPLOST votes go away. FUND THE DANG THING FROM GENERAL REVENUES. But that might take raising taxes, and NOOOOO the representatives are scared to do that. But look! People WANT to pay for good education? People WANT to pay for transportation? People WANT to pay for good parks and recreation?
If the State would fund these properly in the first place, then you just might be able to imagine the SPLOST votes going away. But with the State too scared to even completely do away with alcohol sales and left it up to local jurisdictions. . . not much progress will be made. (Local jurisdictions could still ban Sunday sales, but it would take a vote like yesterday to BAN the sale instead of ALLOW the sale)

Kyle, "democracy in action" is my editorializing. After all, editorializing is rampant in both the mainstream media (NY Times vs Fox News for example) and every blog on the planet. Politicians editorialize all the time, i.e. "it's their fault".Let's just say that I might have chosen the best turn of phrase as it relates to your article, but the results of yesterday's elections and votes on various referendae suggest the the polls do not necessarily reflect what an electorate decides once a voter steps into a voting booth. There are a whole lot of people you only hear from when there is an election and/or referendum. What we hear in the news is usually the conservative line or the liberal line that the shouters and screamers want us to hear. That is why 2012 will be a very interesting year because a large chunk of independent voters won't tell the media what they think until it becomes history (i.e., the results). There are, I hope, some smug groups and politicians who thought yesterday's results would be different and now they will need to go back to their spin machines to rustle up their bases for the next round.

When you look at example after example of waste and mismanagement, rejoice. When you look at example after example of abysmal test scores, rejoice some more. When you look at example after example of good teachers who finally got fed up with bureaucratic incompetence and left; and example after example of incompetent teachers who remain because of their church/sorority/fraternity connections allow them to do so, remember one thing:
You sent a message that you APPROVE of the school boards of APS, and DCSS. You approve of the people who endorsed Crawford Lewis and Beverly Hall. YOU did that with your vote.
Therefore, celebrate and relish the fact that you are getting the bloated, dysfunctional, abysmal school systems you RICHLY and FULLY deserve.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Though no charges have been filed, newly-released e-mails and other documents show Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his family were the targets of numerous death threats during his first two years in office.
Most of the threats came right after he took office in 2011 and were related to his proposal which weakened public employee union collective bargaining. That change sparked huge protests at the Capitol which lasted several weeks.
A Wisconsin Department of Justice spokesperson says there are no open investigations into threats against Walker now.

Washington • The Senate confirmed lawyer Robert Shelby as a federal judge for Utah late Friday, filling a vacancy that court officials said was causing a judicial emergency.
The Senate, finishing up its last work before adjourning until after Election Day, approved Shelby by a voice vote.
Federal court officials said earlier this summer that with cases piling up in Utah, filling the vacant judgeship was a must-do for the Senate.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who had supported Shelby, praised the confirmation vote.
"Bob is a good man who has studied our laws inside and out, and he's going to make a great addition to our District Court in Utah," Hatch said Saturday. "He's a hard worker who's given his time in public service and defended the law in private practice as well."
President Barack Obama nominated Shelby in December 2011 and the Senate Judiciary Committee voted in April to back his selection. His confirmation, though, was held in limbo as Republicans and Democrats sparred over judicial picks this summer.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, was the only committee member to vote against the nominee in committee — an act of protest against Obama's controversial recess appointments made in January.
His "no" vote aside, Lee said he supports the nominee, crediting him with being a "pre-eminently qualified lawyer" who will be an "outstanding judge."
This follows a recent string of opposing votes cast by the protesting Utah senator, including one for Utah's David Nuffer, who was confirmed by the Senate in March. Lee has since dropped his opposition to Obama's nominees.
Shelby graduated from Utah State University and later from the University of Virginia Law School in 1998. He clerked for U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Greene and spent eight years in the Utah Army National Guard, serving on active duty as a combat engineer during Operation Desert Storm.
Most recently, Shelby has worked for the Salt Lake City firm Snow, Christensen & Martineau as a commercial litigator and personal injury attorney.
