Walgreen slightly lower as pharmacy margin pressure continues
Shares of retail drugstore chain Walgreen (WAG) are down slightly after the company noted that it booked a non-cash loss of $866M in the fourth quarter and that it is continuing to endure pharmacy margin pressure. WHAT'S NEW: Walgreen reported Q4 adjusted EPS of 74c, which matched analysts' consensus. The company's Q4 revenue was $19.06B, which was only slightly higher than analysts $19.02B consensus. Customer traffic in Q4 comparable stores decreased 2.2% and basket size increased 3.5%, while total sales in comparable stores increased 5.4%. Walgreen said the quarter was negatively impacted by an $866M, or 90c per share, non-cash loss because it decided to exercise its option to buy the remaining stake in Alliance Boots early. In regards to its partnership with Alliance Boots, Walgreen said that it anticipates synergies of $650M in fiscal year 2015. Walgreen noted that it is moving forward with the implementation of its previously announced cost-reduction initiatives to achieve $1B in savings by the end of fiscal year 2017. The drugstore chain said that it will continue to work through pharmacy margin pressure. WHAT'S NOTABLE: During the company's conference call, Walgreen said that its generic drug inflation will be with the company "for awhile." The drugstore chain noted that inflation was the main headwind to pharmacy margins during the quarter. To combat this, Walgreen said it aims to focus on contracting strategy and will cut pharmacy costs by upping efficiencies. In terms of FY15, Walgreen said its tailwinds included an aging population, growth and chronic donations, new generics and consumerization of healthcare. The company says some headwinds during the quarter included reimbursement pressure, generic drug inflation, Medicare Part D Rate Step Down and the cautious consumer. The company anticipates closing the Alliance Boots partnership in calendar year 2015, as it works towards regulatory approvals and shareholder vote. Walgreen is looking to open an additional 1,000 stores to well-experience formats and foresees FY15 capital expenditures of $1.7B. First quarter interest expense is anticipated to be comparable to Q4 and Q1 tax rate of 30%. The company said that there won't be a material change in free cash flow in 2015. In August, Walgreen forecast fiscal year 2016 EPS of $4.25-$4.60 on revenue of $126B-$130B. At that time, Walgreen said the decision to buy the rest of Alliance Boots would not be an inversion transaction. The company previously said Timothy McLevish would succeed Wade Miquelon as executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer. PRICE ACTION: During morning trading, Walgreen fell 24c or 0.4%, to $59.36. Since its last earnings report, shares of the retail drugstore chain are down around 20%. OTHERS TO WATCH: Peers of Walgreen include Rite Aid (RAD), which is down 0.4% to $4.93, and CVS Health (CVS), which is relatively flat at $80.08.

Home Against Connecticut Sunday
MA - The Providence
Bruins defeated the Worcester Sharks 4 to 2 on Friday
evening at the DCU Center.
The P-Bruins received goals from Jamie Arniel,
Kirk MacDonald and Trent Whitfield who scored twice.
The Bruins went on the game's
first power play 3:18 into the first period and despite failing to score on the
power play, Providence got on the scoreboard shortly afterward at the 6:07 mark
of the period. Whitfield batted in a
feed from MacDonald to tally his 15th goal of the season. MacDonald's assist
was his twentieth of the season. Jordan Smotherman
was awarded the second assist, his ninth of the season. At the 11:34 mark of the first period, Patrick Davis deflected the puck passed
Anton Khudobin to tie the game at
one. Matt Irwin and T.J. Trevelyan tallied the assists on
the goal. Less than 35 seconds later Arniel
and Jordan Caron broke through the
Worcester defensemen to create a
two-on-one rush. Arniel's wrist shot beat Harri
Sateri glove side to make it 2 to 1 Providence.
Alain Goulet got the second assist
on Arniel's twentieth goal of the season, which came just over twelve minutes
into the first period. Worcester tied
the game at the 16:47. Benn Ferriero got his 16th
goal of the year with Nick Patrecki
and Sateri receiving the assists. The score remained tied 2 to 2 going into the first intermission.
retook the lead in the second period. On a three-on-two odd man rush,
Smotherman's one-timer slap-shot created a big rebound to set up Whitfield for
a tip-in goal. MacDonald and Smotherman received their second assists of the
game on Whitfield's second goal of the night and sixteenth of the season. As
the second period winded down, Providence
had to kill their first penalty of the game when Kevan Miller was called for roughing with 1:36 left in the second period. After 40 minutes of play, the
score remained 3 to 2 Bruins.
In the third period, with 54 seconds left in regulation, MacDonald took
control of the puck and shot it from just passed the Worcester blue line to tally the empty netter and
secure the 4 to 2 victory
for Providence. MacDonald's unassisted empty-net goal marked
his third point of the night.
Khudobin earned the win, stopping
32 attempts, while Sateri suffered the loss, making 23 saves before he was
pulled for the extra attacker.
The P-Bruins travel to Binghamton
on Saturday to face the Senators before returning to The Dunk on Sunday
in a 4:05 p.m. meeting with
the Connecticut Whale for Amica
Lip Balm Night. To Purchase tickets or for more information, call the

Katy, Anna, And Gaga To Launch Fragrances (Yes, We Said Gaga)
While much of the beauty world is buzzing over two big fragrance announcements today—Katy Perry and Vogue Nippon fashion director Anna Dello Russo will both reportedly launch signature scents in time for the holidays—we've got another hot tip for you.
A very reliable insider has informed Style.com from her perch atop a pretty major beauty company that those Lady Gaga perfume rumors that were speculated and then refuted in the same week are in fact true. Coty is not, as previously mentioned, the brand behind the forthcoming eau de Gaga; but the fame monster's people have been shopping around for a brand with whom to partner on not one but a series of Gaga-helmed scents, all of which will reportedly explore a unisex theme. (That's something the "Alejandro" singer has a fair bit of experience with—by which, of course, we mean we think that is her in male drag in Vogue Hommes Japan, not that she's actually a tranny. We don't think.) More importantly: You heard it here first.

Ruckus Smart Antennas May Be Key to Nationwide Wi-Fi | Epicenter| Wired.com
Thanks for this you beat me to posting about this :-)
This is impressive about the wifi and enchances what we have been saying, but come on lets say the best bit really is the desk with all the circuit boards pinned to it :-) :-)
Confirms what most of us Ruckus customers already believe - that Ruckus technology is the best out there. I am sitting here watching the use of my wireless network grow day by day as teachers cotton on to its existence, reliability and power. The head is now talking about buying laptops in for the kids too - an idea that was laughed at only a few years ago because it had been tried in the early 2000's with a couple of cheap wireless APs and 32 laptops and had been a disaster.
Also confirms that no one got fired for buying Cisco or HP!! I believed Ruckus to be the best technology but my line manager did not believe them able to provide the support of Cisco or HP. He then went on to create the purchase order behind my back and buy the £65,000 HP system rather than the £40,000 Ruckus.
No it is about a quarter of the system!! We have had so many hiccup with it.
Certainly makes for some interesting reading, it's something we (in partnership with our sister company TJames Telecoms) have been undertaking quite recently as it happens- There is now full WiFi coverage throughout Wallingford Town Centre and several other key areas throughout the town.
With regard to access the council went for quite an interesting approach (which to my mind will become increasingly prevalent in these type of installations) with free WiFi access for up to 15 minutes for all users then switching clients to a chargeable service with various payment options for short and long term usage. This coupled with offering local businesses an option to subscribe if proving to be a useful additional revenue stream.
The beauty of Ruckus for this type of system is the Flexmaster management system allowing remote management and monitoring of the system at all times. This coupled with the large coverage per AP means the council has got a highly reliable and customisable system with very good RoI. Looking to the future the nice thing about Ruckus is the scalability available giving the council the option to expand the coverage throughout the town and act as an ISP to residents.
If anyone would like to see some further information about this check out the Youtube videos for Wallingford WiFi or drop me a line.
The only issues I see, is companies, councils and parties who take up this option will not have a strong enough internet link to sustain it.
Business prices on connections is extortionately high compared to home. What my school currently pays for a 2mb line is probably 5-10 times what I pay for 20mb at home, and my uptime at home is as good as it is here easily.

Out in the predawn recently to wade the Halifax, I caught a great morning and as I stepped into the warm water I knew the slight breeze would be just enough to keep the blood-sucking gnats at bay.
With first light, I looked across the wide bay to see mullet everywhere. Thousands of baby mullet swimming with the outgoing tide toward Ponce Inlet.
For a while, I stood just to watch and enjoy. There is no more valuable fish to inshore fisherman that mullet. Everything we like to catch preys on the prolific mullet.
The sight was truly astounding and just seeing so many baitfish in the water gave me hope for my fishing future.
Soon, my reverie was interrupted by the splashing of feeding fish that were also enjoying the huge mullet run. Jacks, ladyfish, sea trout and who knows what else were having a mullet breakfast.
At one point, I saw jacks that had to be in the 10-to 15-pound range pushing a wake in the shallow water, their backs fully exposed. The tide was high and had flooded into the marsh grass behind me as I stood about six feet off the bank. Suddenly without warning an explosion happened right in front of me.
A jack had burst into a school of mullet that was swimming past and only about four feet in front of me. That sent up a shower of baitfish, some flying into my legs in their frantic jump to escape the predator. I was startled at first to be in the center of such a commotion and in a split second I watched the jack that had hit the mullet streak past me and capture one up against the shore. That was a rare sight, indeed.
We often say that nature is happening all around us, but in that instant I had the chance to watch a game fish run down its target and swallow it.
Very cool!
As the morning progressed, fishing was not so very good for me. With all of the food in the water, the fish were not terribly interested in my hunks of plastic. I did catch a couple of the jacks, but never hooked one of the big boys. Just before I was ready to leave I landed a decent 16-inch flounder. Not a trophy, but a fair keeper. As I looked deep into that gaping mouth on the flounder to try and get my jig out I found myself staring into a pair of eyes. The flounder had only recently partially swallowed a finger mullet and the little fish was still alive.
If you know the anatomy of a flounder, you know that they are not like most fish. They do not have a long hollow body, but only have a small stomach tucked up behind the head. This one had attempted to swallow a six inch mullet, and I suppose the plan is for it to just stay lodged in the flounder's throat while the digestive juices slowly make the mullet go down.
As I looked in past all of those sharp teeth the little mullet just looked so forlorn. That's when it began to talk to me. "Say fellow," it said "I know we have just met, but I'm in a bit of a bind here. Do you think you could help a guy out?" OK, it said that with its eyes, but I got the message. At great peril to my own fingers, I timed a grab and pulled the mullet out of the flounder's mouth. Once out, I thought I saw him smile, but maybe not. I put the little mullet in the water, but he was too far-gone. Not wanting to see my new friend suffer I dispatched him and allowed the remains to sink to the bottom. The mullet's misfortune would make the day of a crab or some other bottom forager. Some days I guess it just does not pay to be a mullet.

|Building Modular Applications with Seppia
|Shared Libraries?
|2005-03-20 15:29:00
|So far it's a bit like the Eclipse way of handling modules. What happens though if I have many modules that I want separated for logical reasons but which all use the same jar library? Do you really have to copy the same jar file into each module directory? Or is there a /shared folder?
Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.
Shared Libraries?
2005-03-21 02:10:24 lorenzop [View]
Indeed it is very similar to the Eclipse way of
handling plugins.
The main difference is that they use xml to declare extension points and we use javascripts.
The common folder is [INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY]/jars
where you can find the 'bootstrapping' jars:
rhino1.6.jar xml-beans.jar and seppia.jar
However I'd be very careful not to dump too many jars in there. In some cases It could be better to have a jar (say log4j.jar) repeated in few modules in order to clearly seperate the various parts of the system and to know exactly what each part relies on.

Jordan Crawford didn't need any defending of how he'd played, but he got some anyway after 21 points on 10-for-18 shooting in the Wizards' 93-85 win over Orlando on Tuesday.
"A lot of people criticize him for taking bad shots, but that's just the type of player he is," teammate John Wall said. "Some of his shots is going to be bad, but he make those tough shots, and that's how his game is. With him being a scorer like that, we really need that with our offense right now, especially at the guard position."
But with each passing game, the question becomes less about the present and more about Crawford's future. Averaging 17.7 points, 3.1 assists and shooting 42.1 percent since the All-Star break, the defiantly confident second-year guard is doing exactly what he did as a rookie. His numbers after last year's all-star break: 16.3 ppg and 3.9 apg.
Crawford's performance against the Magic was also his second straight game back at 20 points or more after consecutive subpar showings against New Jersey and Detroit where he had just nine points in each game and shot a combined 5-for-25. He's scored in double figures in 15 of Washington's last 17 games.
"I don't know if Jordan ever lost his rhythm," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "He just didn't make shots. Jordan's a very confident individual as you well may know. I don't really have to worry about Jordan getting shots up. It's just, make sure they're the right shots. A lot of times that kind of fuels his percentage being good or bad, and I thought the last couple of games he's come out aggressive. He's attacked the rim a little bit more off the dribble instead of just settling for long shots, and that's got him to the free throw line a couple times which always kind of gets you going."
That kind of encouragement has become Wittman's hallmark over the latter part of the season. He similarly talked both before and after the Orlando game about being in the ear of Kevin Seraphin, making sure his surging big man wasn't satisfied with his own breakout showings of late.
There was no such commitment from Flip Saunders or the Wizards last spring when Crawford first played like he has been lately. The Wizards simply enjoyed it in the moment then extended a qualifying offer to Nick Young heading into the lockout. The feeling was always that the starting shooting guard spot was his to lose.
Crawford didn't help himself as Young delayed his return, but he certainly struggled as Young's backup, and there's no denying his enjoyment of getting the green light since Young was traded away. Of course, don't mistake Crawford's propensity for tough and head-scratching shots for a lack of effort. He still hustles on defense and has shown himself to be a solid passer on the move.
"He's being more aggressive, and it's helping us attacking the basket also," Wall said. "I think he's learning that he don't have to take jump shots all the time. He can attack the basket."
Crawford said it's, "Just being aggressive all around. I don't want the defense to key on one thing, that's what I'm trying to do."
The tricky part is, how will his play affect how the Wizards value him when the draft comes around? If the Wizards don't land the No. 1 pick in next month's lottery, they'll have to consider whether or not to select Florida scoring guard Bradley Beal.
That addition would almost certainly stifle Crawford's progress in the same way that playing behind and with Young did. Three-guard lineups work in situations, but that's not how the Wizards are going to be transformed back into any sort of contender. At the same time, it's hard to know what their commitment will be to Crawford until the lottery sorts out the positioning and the draft itself has come and gone.
For now, Crawford is relishing the workload, even if he never changed his expression as he scored or assisted on 12 straight third-quarter points against the Magic and added another seven on 3-for-3 shooting in the fourth.
"I don't ever really smile when I get buckets," Crawford said. "I been doing it since I popped out so it ain't nothing new to me."

With the start of the school year, life can get hectic for a lot of families. There are the multiple kids needing to go to multiple locations and, of course, there's homework and dinner, to follow later on.But, just take a deep breath, parents. It can be done. Good Day Atlanta's Buck Lanford is here to introduce you to a family who are living proof.It seems that these days, families are busier than ever. As a father of three, it doesn't look like it will be slowing down anytime soon, either.So, as a parent, how do you balance work, family life, school and extra-curricular activities? You need to have a plan! Meet the Falconers!Two working parents with four kids. Each kid has their own unique activity and schedule to keep up with – gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse. Oh, and cross country.So, you get the idea. The kids in this southwest Atlanta family are involved in just about every sport – except juggling. And, it's up to mom and dad to make it possible.One parent said, "It can be very overwhelming. Scheduling is probably the main issue. You do, it's who has what? Who goes where? What time? Who's going to take who? How is it going to be done? Who's going to pick up? What's going to happen in between? What happens with dinner? All those things?"Add to that the stress of the beginning of the school year. But, Kimberly Falconer has a game plan that utilizes both old school and new school tech.She said, "I use my iPhone and we also have a calendar when we come in the door. So everyone has to write down on a weekly basis all of the activities that they have. And, then I kind of synchronize with my husband to say, 'Hey, what can you do? What can't you do?,' and things like that."Mrs. Falconer says she actually things the structure of the school schedule makes balancing the family schedule easier. Her partner in crime, Trey, says he's not so sure."I feel like it gets harder for me because of all the work that my school kind of puts on us."Still, the Falconers say they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. They both said the lessons learned and experiences they shared and share with other parents help make it all worthwhile. "It really builds character. It teaches priorities. It teaches goals and responsibilities of what they need to do in terms of planning and time management.And, by the way. They also care for two dogs. The Falconers are lucky enough to have some extended family that they do lean on from time to time. Oh, and car pools can help, too. But, the bottom line for the Falconers is organization and communication. Coming in third is prioritization. As all of the Falconers kids know, school work always comes first. Then, maybe one day, there will be relaxation.

The Nebraska Mission of Mercy hosted a free dental clinic today.
Dental experts from across the state did everything from a simple cleaning, to teeth replacement and even root canals.
The services were completely free.
This was the first time the clinic was held in Lincoln.
One dentist says even if you can't afford it, dental hygiene isn't something to overlook.
"There are so many people that fall between the cracks that don't have dental insurance, maybe have finances in their family that they can't go to the dentist. Your teeth are what helps you with your nutrition and they're important to the rest of your body," Dr. Charles Genrich said.
The clinic will also be offered Saturday 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Pershing Center.

It's bad news for both One Direction and their fans: the boys will not be performing on this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show TV special.
The rumor that the group would appear on the show started in the British paper The Sun , which claimed that 1D would take the stage during the show this November. Some of pop music's biggest names, from Maroon 5 to Justin Bieber to Justin Timberlake to Bruno Mars , have performed on the show, so the story was certainly believable.
But a rep for Victoria's Secret tells ABC News Radio, "The recent reports regarding One Direction appearing in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are untrue. The band is not performing in this year's show. We will announce our artists in early October."
Looks like the boys' dreams of cavorting with scantily-clad models have been dashed, though we guess Zayn Malik 's fiancee Perrie Edwards isn't too broken up about it.

Two Mexican Nationals were arrested Saturday at the Naco port of entry after marijuana was discovered in their vehicles.
Saturday morning, Customs and Border Protection officers referred a GMC truck for additional inspection as the 30-year-old driver attempted to enter the United States. When officers were searching the vehicle, they located 30 packages of marijuana in the bed compartment of the truck.
The marijuana weighed more than 124 pounds and had an estimated value of $62,150.
Around the same time, officers referred a Ford sedan driven by a 23-year-old driver for additional inspection. Officers located 28 packages from the interior rear quarter panels and rear bumper. The drugs weighed 54 pounds with a value of $26,840.
Both drivers, from Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, were taken into custody without incident.
Also this weekend, Border Patrol agents from the Ajo station were working near Pisinemo, Ariz., when they discovered 34 bundles of marijuana abandoned in the desert. The drugs weighed 1,768 and were valued at $884,000.
Southwest of Ajo, agents seized three ATVs and 25 bundles of dope. The marijuana weighed 1,110 pounds and had an estimated value of $555,000. One of the ATVs had been stolen out of Pinal County.
No smugglers were found in either incident. The narcotics were turned over to the DEA.

What nationality is russell wilson on the seakhawks?
The nationality of Russell Wilson, Quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, is considered to be American. Wilson's ethnicity is thought to be African-American. Though Russell Wilson has never stated his ethnicity publicly, his brother indicated in a 2011 article in the New York Times that they were both African-American.
Russell Wilson was born November 29, 1988 in Richmond, Virginia and grew up in the Richmond area. His father was Harrison Wilson III, a now deceased lawyer, and his mother was Tammy Wilson, a legal nurse consultant.
Wilson played quarterback at NC State for 3 years before transferring to Wisconsin for his final year of college in 2011. He led Wisconsin to the 2011 Big Ten Championship Game, which they won 42-39 over Michigan State. He broke Wisconsin's single season record for passing touchdowns, with 33 passing touchdowns in the 2011 season. Wilson and the Badgers played Oregon in the 2012 Rose Bowl on January 2, 2012, but Oregon defeated Wisconsin by the score of 45-38.
He was drafted in the 2012 NFL Draft and became the starting quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks.
Of interest, now that football season is over Russell Wilson is fielding grounders at spring training with the Texas Rangers in Surprise, Arizona.
He recently told the press that he has turned down a second offer to appear on Dancing With the Stars claiming that he plans to focus on his sports career for the time being. Find out more at USA Today.

Judith Thompson's Lion in the Streets explores the burden of memory and the power of forgiveness
Brock University's Department of Dramatic Arts presents Judith Thompson's Lion in the Streets, to be held on stage at the Sean O'Sullivan Theatre, Brock University on February 16, 17 and 18, 2012.
Seventeen years after her murder, the ghost of nine-year old Isobel, a Portuguese immigrant, is searching for her killer. Initially prey herself to rage and violence, she watches over the living, suffers with them, and finally experiences the possibility of salvation.
Judith Thompson has long been one of the country's most respected contemporary playwrights. She has received the Governor General's Award for Drama twice for The Other Side of the Dark in 1989 and White Biting Dog in 1985, and the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award two times for Lion in the Streets in 1991 and I Am Yours in 1987.
Directed by Danielle Wilson and designed by David Vivian, the production also features contemporary movement choreographed by Gerry Trentham, Artistic Director of Toronto's pounds per square inch performance company. The production will showcase eight second- to fourth-year Brock students: Kaitlin Race, Emma Bulpin, Kédie McIntyre, Olivia Jackson, Tanisha Minson, Dylan Mawson, Matt DaCosta, and Jonathan Phillips, with assistant direction by Rebekka Gondosch. The students will be playing a total of 29 roles, with additional assistance from students studying in the areas of production, stagecraft, design and directing.
Director Danielle Wilson states, "Lion in the Streets provides a window into the private lives of people living in an ordinary neighbourhood in Toronto. As a society we operate on the level that everything is fine on the surface. Through Isobel's journey, we witness the darkness or the 'lion' stirring beneath the surface of the people living in her neighbourhood as we are given a glimpse into what really happens behind closed doors. The brilliance of this intensely provocative play is that it is also very funny and very beautiful."
"…people make themselves comfortable, by saying, "Oh, that play is not about me, it's about the underbelly."
~ Judith Thompson
~ Judith Thompson
Lion in the Streets is a play in which the raw obsessions of the characters erupt forth in heightened, surreal and imagistic language. Performances run: Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17 at 11:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Held in the Sean O'Sullivan Theatre, Brock University.

This was so easy to figure out! The specific step by step instructions for my computer were just what I needed. The only reason I gave it one less star is because there were no instructions for what it to do once it booted up. You have to format the hard drive (or something to that effect). I found out what to do through a google search so nothing too difficult. The product was easy to install and is running great! Thank you Crucial!

I used Crucials hardware scanner to select both upgraded memory and a higher capacity hard drive for my new (refurb) laptop. This harddrive was selected as a fit/match and when I got it, I used EZ-GIG to clone my hard drive. However, when I opened my laptop (never having done so before, since Crucial has always been reliable in the past) I discovered that my laptop took a 1.8" drive, and not the 2.5" I bought. Wasted the money as I don't need another 2.5" drive for any purpose. I put it in an enclosure, and put it in a drawer. Oh well. Good drive. Bad Crucial experience.

Good hard drive and well worth the cost. However i wouldnt recommend using crucial. I paid for 2 day shipping which was not honored, i called and was assured that my shipping would be refunded; it was not. When the hard drive finally arrived 4 days later i found it in my apartment building lobby, opened, and with the wrong address on the postage. Rather than deal with customer 'service' again i decided to keep the hard drive which i have had no problems with. Great product, but i like my purchases to arrive on time (especially when i pay for it to do so) and preferrably unopened and addressed correctly. Never using crucial again.

I ordered the drive and it came on-time and was exactly what I wanted. I was surprised to find out that Samsung HDD are made by Seagate. But it was the same and it works great. The 1TB drive is a hard worker and runs near silent. We will see what happens when it has about 500GB on it. But overall very pleased.

CP specs state this is compatible with my mid 2010 Macbookpro 7.1, but it is not. I found this out after taking the computer and drive to the Apple store. OK, it's not so much CP specs that are wrong as the Apple folk took some time before coming up with the problem. Not all, but SOME of the 2010 systems with 2.4Ghz were never intended to use a 1Tb drive, and that means the OS will not mount properly.
Great Service! It fits perfectly with my laptop. Other than the late shipping, everthing was perfect!

I have a DELL Studio XPS 16 (1645 with intel core i7 cpu), with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preinstalled and updated to Service Pack 1, and
I recently upgraded my Western Digital HDD to a larger Solid State Crucial M500 480GB drive, (using
the crucial easy laptop install kit).
The laptop boots with the SSD drive now being the only drive installed.
I cloned the HDD, using the automatic procedure in Acronis TrueImage HD using a boot CD, however, the Windows Update in the newly
installed SSD does not function and gives the message "windows update cannot currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I previously tried all other combinations in cloning the HDD to SSD with Acronis TrueImage HD, to no avail.
The computer was checked for viruses and malware prior to the cloning procedure with Bitdefender Antivirus 2013 and is virus free.
Also, internet explorer is not downloading files from hyperlinks. It will display the option for save as, open, save but will
proceed and open the download dialog box when left-mouse-clicking on hyperlinks of files which I choose to download and will not
display the image format jpg when I right-mouse-click on an image link and choose save image as but display the options for png and
bmp only. I installed the Chrome browser which worked, the problem with internet explorer persists.
I give you a link to my windowsupdate.log file,
I consider the windows update malfunction to a be serious problem, thank you in advance for any assistance.
Ok I got it to work, but it's intermittent. I pulled the drive out, switched the type of HDD in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE. Then I re-installed the drive. This got me past BIOS. Then I go into BIOS, reset it to AHCI, and the drive works perfectly. I'm using it now to post this.
However here's the weird thing. If I shut down my machine, I have the same problem again, sometimes. Twice today I've shut down the machine and it's come back with no problem, twice it's repeated the same error I had before. That means to fix it, I have to open the laptop, remove the SSD, reset BIOS to IDE, let it boot, reset BIOS again to AHCI, then reinstall the drive and it works.
Any ideas to stabilize this now? How odd.
Hi all!
I apologize ahead of time, as I am not super techy.
About 7-8 months ago I replaced the HD and memory in my early 20078 24" iMac. All was working great, but about 2 months ago or so, it stopped booting up (white screen, folder with question mark.)
I finally got around to trying to fix it again, and got out a boot disk (Snow Leopard, as that is what I happened to have on a disk.) It starts the process of installing the OS, but when it gets to the screen that asks what disk to install the OS on, it never finds a disk. I am guessing there is some issue with the HD? Just trying to see if I can get some directional hints on how to next proceed.
HD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB SATA-600, part # ST3000DM001
Memory - 4GB kit (2GB x 2) 200-pin SODIMM, part # CT2K2G2S800M
Hi jeremy1988,
I think it is hard to tell for sure, you would probably get better feedback from people who actually use SSDs during compiling. I believe that (please correct me if I am wrong) that during compliling there is a huge count of small reads and writes and lot of seek operations, that is why it is rough on mechanical drives I guess.
The situation is different with SSDs, there is no moving parts and what wears out the drive are NAND write operations.
Modern SSD can handle hundreds of TBs of writes. Whats even better Crucial M5x0 and MX100 models use AD Average Block-Erase Count SMART attribute which is like small clock ticking to 3000 value, where in general 0 value stand for 100% health and 3000 stand for 0% health. So you can actually keep an eye on how fast your SSD is wearing out (in terms of NAND writes).
I don't know how large drive do you need but personally I like to experiment and evaluate - I would probably try to test it with one of my spare SSDs, or buy cheap MX100 128GB (that seems to be great drive by the way) that in the worst case scenario I could use in a different system
There is probably one thing you should keep in mind that could possibly (or not) affect SSD performance while using in Linux system. In general to maintain best speeds it is necessary to have TRIM working but I believe it is not a problem for modern distros and/or kernels.

Former Coyote Coach Joey James Returns To Division II Roots
A month after being let go by the University of South Dakota, Joey James has another head coaching job, at Division II Concordia – St. Paul in the Northern Sun Conference.
James, a long time USD assistant and interim head coach last season, is the ninth head coach in school history. He inherits a program that went 8-19 last season, 5-17 in NSIC play.
In a Concordia – St. Paul press release, James said:
I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the men's basketball program at Concordia University.
I would like to thank (Concordia athletic director) Tom (Rubbelke) and the search committee for believing in me and having the confidence in me as their men's basketball coach.
My staff and I will work extremely hard to make Concordia a program that competes every night in the highly competitive NSIC.
I'm eager to get started and look forward to the challenges of building a championship caliber program on and off the court.
As part of the Northern Sun Conference, James will return to South Dakota at least twice a year to play at Augustana and the University of Sioux Falls. The final three rounds of the conference tournament are also in Sioux Falls, at the Sanford Pentagon in March.
The move is a return to Division II for James, who played D2 basketball at USD and became a member of then head coach Dave Boots' staff when the Coyotes were still a Division II program.

JCP, Speculative Play or Come Back in the Making?
Adrian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: Michael Francis is no longer with J.C. Penney. This version has been corrected.
Although I must recognize that at first, when I started seeing the headlines regarding the performance of J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP), I was more inclined to short the stock thinking that the company was over for good. That changed after I placed the stock under my radar and looked at it more closely for signs of improvement or a major catastrophe.
After at least 2 months since I started following this company I decided to go through the 2011 10-K and the latest 3 quarterly results to get a better picture of the fundamentals of the company and try to understand the transformation it's going through right now. In order to be able to understand it better I visited one of their stores in south Texas and I was quite impressed with the changes I witnessed at this particular location.
Here are my thoughts:
J.C. Penney in its 2011 10-K has listed 7 executive officers of which 4 have barely joined or started serving in their new roll within the last 18 months.
Ronald B. Johnson who is now the CEO of the company came from Apple on November 2011. Before being the senior VP of retail at Apple, Mr. Johnson was a senior VP of merchandising at Target.
Michael W. Kramer the COO started on his roll on December 2011.
Daniel E. Walker has served the company as a Chief Talent Officer since November 2011.
To sum it all up, management is kind of new to the company, but not at the job they're doing. In my opinion we have to give them time to transform the company and to make it more efficient and profitable.
Here the story turns more interesting. While management has insisted in highlighting the improvement within the new shops (as they are calling them), it is of great concern that fundamentals have been deteriorating at a very rapid pace over the last several quarters now.
Let's analyze the results of operations (income statements) for the last five years first:
In millions except per share data.
This kind of information is what has the investors thinking whether or not the strategy is working. If we consider the dramatic shift on EPS from a nice $4.90 back in 2007 to a loss of ($0.70) on 2011 and compare it to the decline in sales equivalent to 13% during the same period we can see that there is a problem regarding margins. However, let's not forget that capital expenditures are being made do to the transformation and management has said that for 2012 it will be around the $850 million and another $800 million or so for 2013. So we can expect margins to be quite low for the next 3 of 4 quarters.
When it comes to the balance sheet, it is even scarier than the income statement. I have gathered some key metrics for you to consider.
As you can see in the table above, there are serious signs of deterioration in the balance sheet. Cash is quickly running out, it has lost $8.69 per share or 78% in less than 2 years. Although the company has stated that they have a credit line of 1.5 billion and currently have not used it at all, this can give us an idea that management may have to use that credit line to keep operating in the short term and fulfill the transformation process.
Equity is also eroding (not as fast but still) from the company. In the debt-to-equity ratio you can see a significant increase over the last 8 quarters. This is not good; I consider a healthy balance sheet when there is enough cash in hand to cover the debt, even though management has said that most of the debt is not due in the short term.
Changing the layout of the stores and creating a new and improved shopping experience is something we will enjoy once its finalized. Not having to go through mountains of merchandise and cluttered stores is definitely something to look forward to. Also, I really love the fair and square pricing, since collecting coupons and putting them on my wallet is not something I like doing at all. This has me completely interested and I can say one thing for sure, my family's Christmas shopping will be made at JCP.
In my opinion, the strategy and vision of Mr. Johnson is good and will pay in the long term for those who are willing to endure a few more quarters of pain. I don't expect to see any improvement in those metrics that I've mentioned before at least for another 2 – 3 quarters. Remember there are barely 10 shops that have been introduced of the 100 that are planned, so expect more heavy capital expenditures in the months to come.
I believe it is too early on this turn around to be able to project anything. If you are thinking about taking a position on this stock I will advise you to do it as pure speculation, there are many things left for management to do in order for this ship to avoid wreckage.
Two more quarters should give us a better sense of how the new concept is working and if we can expect a return, but until then please be careful.

This conversation is closed.
Why do people find the need to entrench themselves in rules and policies?
For me, whenever anyone (especially those in authority) say "Kaleb don't do that!" I feel the instant desire to do it. Although desire probably isn't an accurate synonym. It's more like I have to do it or I'll explode. I've been this way for as long as I can remember.
Now that I have entered the workforce, I find there are so many rules and regulations. Granted, some of these have real merit (such as the recycling policies, and earwig steel cap boots when you enter the workshop)
However, there are some rules that are just plain idiotic. What are some examples of this behavior, why do people do it? Is it because (This is my assumption) they are afraid of the unknown? They are afraid of taking risk? Or is something that happens during the "nurturing" phase of life with overprotective parents. Maybe it's even a genetic thing.

Dec 23 2012: A basic human need is to belong. Rules help people know the right ways in which to behave so as to belong. I think it's fair to say that most people will tend to follow the rules as culturally speaking that is the way in which they have been taught or have learnt to behave over time. Some personalities however, have evolved differently; they prefer to challenge and question the status quo and growing up in a country like Australia there is sufficient credibility given to this behaviour to encourage it; but only to an extent. I think it's fair to say that you and I would have been alike in this regard until I moved from Australia a number of years ago and lived in a country where questioning the rules was simply NOT done. It took me many years to become accustomed to not questioning and simply following the rules as at the end of the day it was in my best interests to do so. I no longer live in that country as a result; the rules had to be followed and to not follow them created such a difficult situation that it would only be detrimental to myself; often hugely so. So I learned to follow the rules even though I recognised that they were simply idiotic. I learned to take a queue number at the bank to be served even when I was the only one there as without it I would not be served; a simple but real example. Unless the population wants change, change is not likely to happen.
I now live in a country where rules are treated differently. I come back to rules being necessary to help people know the way in which to appropriately behave so that they can feel that true sense of belonging within that community. Some need this more than others.
Questioning rules is neither right nor wrong ... it can be about change or stamping one's signature. I see that what I learnt from living in this different country hasn't made me less of a strong willed person; simply a more accepting one. Some things are worth changing ... direct your energy into making a difference there.

Filming of "Iron Man 3" continued Wednesday for a third day in Cary, with actress Gwyneth Paltrow on the set after she tweeted that she was in Raleigh Tuesday.
Paltrow, on her Twitter feed, said she was glad to be on the set for the first time for "Iron Man 3." She also sent out a photo.
On Wednesday, there was a sign at SAS that read, "Film Crew Left Lane" and orange cones blocking the entrance. Susan Moran with the Town of Cary said parts of Weston Parkway were closed for filming.
Check out photos from the 'Iron Man 3' set. Send us your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com
A source told NBC-17 on the condition of anonymity that there will be a closed shoot Wednesday at Building C on the SAS campus off Harrison Avenue. SAS spokesman Trent Smith, however, said he could not comment on whether "Iron Man 3" would be filmed at SAS.
Around 5:50 p.m. on Tuesday, actress Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted that she had "Just arrived in Raleigh, N.C. to start Ironman [sic] 3!" Along with the statement, she asked for restaurant recommendations in the City of Oaks.
Paltrow plays Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's (Iron Man) assistant and love interest. Wednesday morning she Tweeted a photo of herself in costume with the comment, "Day 1 on IM3. Pepper Potts! So happy to be here."
While star Robert Downey Jr. remains elusive, Don Cheadle was spotted on the set Tuesday.
Cheadle, who plays U.S. Air Force pilot James "Rhodey" Rhodes (a.k.a. War Machine), was seen grabbing lunch Tuesday outside Epic Games studio off Crossroads Blvd. in Cary.
NBC-17 anchor Penn Holderness says he saw actor Guy Pearce at the Umstead Hotel & Spa. Pearce will reportedly portray geneticist Aldrich Killian, the co-creator of Extremis, which -- in the comics -- sells a nanotechnological drug created by the U.S. military.
Tuesday was the second day crews were at the Epic Games in Cary. As with Monday's shoot, a tree resembling a Christmas Tree was seen on set, perhaps hinting that the film will take place during the holiday season.
Fans parading outside the studio also caught a glimpse of a possibly spoiler-ish sign, indicating Epic may be used as the backdrop for Advanced Idea Mechanics. The company is a fictionalized terrorist organization in the Marvel universe.
Before Wednesday, Cary Police said drivers should expect police-controlled delays on Weston Parkway from NC 54/Chapel Hill Road to Harrison Avenue between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
While they do not say the closures are specifically related to the "Iron Man 3" shoot, the police department says the closures are to "accommodate activity registered with the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film, and Sports Development."
Production is mainly taking place in and around Wilmington. Principle photography on the film began in late May with a shoot at Cape Fear Club on Chestnut Street in Wilmington, N.C. The shoot called for two cast members and 20 extras.
In April, thousands of people turned out at Crabtree Valley Mall to sign on to be extras in the film "Caged Heat" -- a working title for the "Iron Man 3" production.
That "Iron Man 3" will shoot under the working title "Caged Heat" may be meaningless – much like Michael Bay's "Prime Directive" title for the "Transformers" trilogy – but that hasn't stopped comic book fans from speculating. Many have been quick to point to the title's similarity to Marvel superhero Luke Cage and the fact that the latest "Iron Man" film may be used as a vehicle to launch a Luke Cage spin-off.
Shane Black will take over directorial duties from Jon Favreau, who helmed the first two "Iron Man" films. Black's credits include 2005's "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," which also starred Robert Downey Jr.
"Iron Man 3" stars Downey Jr., Paltrow and Cheadle. Sir Ben Kingsley is also reportedly in talks to play a villain in the film, however he "will not be the primary villain, according to insiders, and it is not clear what role he will play."
James Badge Dale and Pearce have also been in talks to join the production, though it is unclear what roles they would play.
The film is set for release May 3, 2013.

Pic! AJ Calloway Wears Bedazzled L.A. Kings Figure Skating Costume
June 16, 2014 As Seen On Extra
Remember when "Extra's" Mario Lopez bet AJ Calloway that the L.A. Kings would beat the New York Rangers in the NHL playoffs? Well, they won, and now AJ is paying up!
As the loser, Calloway was forced to ice skate in an L.A. Kings figure skating outfit at Chelsea Piers Skyrink in NYC.
The bedazzled and ruffled outfit was custom made just for "Extra." Isn't it cute?
