A Little Bit of Latin
... Kane and Kirsten and we all decided to meet for lunch. Brock was off to the gym. Yeah right, who would go to a gym while they are on holidays. Good on Brock.
We decided to wait for Kane and Kirsten outside. It was a little warm waiting in the sun, so we decided to test the beer out at the bar across the road near the train station. I am pleased to say the beer was very tasty and it seems the champagne was just as good. As we ...
Day 1 in Paris
... so the girls had large ice cream sundaes and drinks.
We looked through the Impressionists gallery with lots of Monets, Sisleys, And others that I will have to look up as I can't remember at the moment. We hadn't realised Monet painted lovely landscapes as well as his garden paintings. Then we looked at the Van Gogh section and some Gaugains (painted Tahitian ladies in the 1800's).

Paris- Week 11
... I digress, our hostel was the best I've ever stayed at. It was a quiet area with a really helpful staff, a breakfast with so many croissants and fresh juice every morning, and the best part, our room overlooked the BEAUTIFUL Sacr� Cœur Basilica. Every night and morning I would look out at it on our 5th floor terrace and think about how amazingly lucky I was to have this amazing opportunity. We got very early rest that night and woke up at 6am to head out to Disneyland ...
Euro Disneyland
... way down to a roller-coaster ride that involved high-speeds, sharp turns and oh of course, the 360 upside down loop. This fast paced ride was named 'Indiana Jones, Temple of Peril', and though it was for the thrill-seekers, it was incredibly short and u didn't really give you time to register the fact that you had been upside down. In the mean-time, Dad and Sarah, who had said "NO WAY" to the ride, went on a walk to, and climbed, Robinson's Tree. We also met Mickey ...
Our last day in Paris
We left our hotel at 10.30 am this morning to meet the folks. We were a little unsure of what to do for the day...so we just started walking. First stop....coffee haha. Then of course by the time we finished that it was time to head to Cafe Oz for the All Blacks game. We got a good cozzie and stayed there for the game. Unfortunately it wasn't a wicked game haha, it was very close! And the Aussies showed that they will be more of a challenge this ...

Hotel is dated and need of an upgrade. Seemed to be clean. Low water pressure in shower. Would not pay more than about $50 per nite. It was right off of interstate so it was convenient to gas and resteraunts. This is more the caliber of a Econo Lodge.

Zane Lowe was among those immediately curious and, tracking MAALA down to his own home country, he was quick to move and debut next track "In The Air" on Apple Music Beats One. …and now, it's over to you. MAALA has teamed up with Red Bull Studios Auckland REMIX, NZ Rockshop & Native Instruments. Put your spin on 'Touch' and you could be copping a Native Instruments Maschine MK2 thanks to Rockshop:

The room is exactly as shown, only a bit roomier than expected! Priya and Michael were very friendly, accommodating and quick to reply to our messages. Thanks so much guys!
We only had a very short time with Priya and Michael but we loved their house and Michael was really friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless, spacious and really nicely done up. Their house is right on the airport bus route and close to lots of eating places which was perfect for us. Thank you very much!
Priya and Michael are great hosts, and we really enjoyed our stay. Our room was very nice, clean and cozy and so was the bathroom. The house is in an area with many restaurants and cafes to choose from when you fancy to go out for a meal. Thanks again for your hospitality!
Great bnb experience at Priya & Michael's! Super clean room and a great location within walking distance of several restaurants and cafes! Would stay here again if we are back in Auckland.
We chose Priya and Michael's place as it's conveniently on the airport express bus route. But we'd recommend it even if you're not travelling to or from the airport. The room and ensuite are spacious and spotlessly clean. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. There are loads of good places to eat nearby. Its easy to get to the centre by bus, yet it is on a quiet residential street. Michael let us drop off our bags there early and was very friendly and welcoming. A big help. All in all an excellent experience. Thanks Priya and Michael!
Priya and Michael are very warm and welcoming to their beautiful modern home. They are excellent guides in recommending places to go and how to get there and their home is well situated for buses and a bustling local community.
Michael and Priya are great hosts, and their place was perfect! :) We arrived way pass midnight (courtesy of the airline missing our bags), and Michael waited for us, and even showed us around the house. Location is very safe; walking distance to shops and eateries (there's plenty around!), and 2 min from the airport Airbus stop. The room was massive, and very private. Very clean, w/a comfy and warm bed, and a nice en-suite. We had a great stay, and would definitely come back! :)
Michael waited up for us as we had a late flight and was extremely helpful throughout. The room and en-suite were immaculate- there was no one speck of dust around! I felt very comfortable there and the area was safe. We drove from the airport and it took about 20 minutes. Thank you for being such great hosts. I 100% recommend.
Great hosts in a lovely house, very comfortable and quiet room. Handy for buses into the centre of Auckland and the Mount Eden area is good with the park and village close by for cafés/pool/cinema etc. Recommended!
Reviews From Hosts
Perfect guests! Left the place in super condition. Thanks a lot and hope to see you again in the future.
Lovey guests, good communicators and kind people. Priya and Michael were very conscientious and independent, plus curious about the city--the perfect mix for a guest!
Priya and Michael were exceptional guests! They were charming, polite and wonderful. I would have them as guests anytime. I wish that they had stayed longer. They left the room immaculate.
Beautiful person and a perfect guest! I only regret that I did not have enough time to enjoy time with her and her husband.Hope, next time!!! I wish they will come. Again!!!
Priya and Michael were in the last 3 weeks of their year's travelling, and came to my corner of France for a couple of days exploring. I found them a nice, friendly and quiet couple who made the most of their short time here, They left the studio in an impeccable state of tidiness, and I would highly recommend them to other hosts
Priya and her bf were excellent guests! Super nice, easy-going, on time, always willing to accomodate. They also left the room and apt. clean and spotless. 5 star guests! They are welcome back any time!
It was easy to communicate with Prija, I didn't have a chance to meet her in person, a next time? A good road to you two, we are happy that you you enoy your stay by us.
Priya and her friends were amazing guests: they were cool, nice, relaxed and at the end they left everything clean.
Prya and her friends were wonderful guests. They were very kind, friendly. They were very clean, polite and respectful and it was a pleasure having them at the house. Definitely recommend then as guests, they are welcome any time!!

... both SO excited and happy when they came back. I loved watching their faces as they described their hike. Henry found a trail tag in Bar Harbor and immediately bought the Dorr Mountain one. Cadillac Mountain is also on their list and Acadia Mountain is on all of our lists.

Baw Hawba, a tourist mecca
Hello my dear traveling companions,
Leaving friends in Scarborough, ME and heading further North to Bar Harbor and acting like tourists and seeing what the attraction is with Acadia National Park. Wow! How about some beautiful areas to see and enjoy!
Camped at a KOA near Bar Harbor and booked reservations to enjoy a tour through Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor itself. Plenty of pictures were made to share with our traveling ...
Two Mountains, One Day
... Claire, who had driven up from Kennebunkport, Maine to spend the day with us here and then travel to our next stop for a few days. We met in Southwest Harbor at a fishing retail store for non other than a Lobster Roll, properly the best we had all weekend. Feeling full and a little tight from the car ride, Nate and Claire wanted to stretch their legs so we decided to climb the Acadia Mountain trail one more time. The view of Somes Sound on that mountain is one of the ...

Essentially you have to lean back away from the wall and stick your feet out, which allows the person below to let out your rope and control your descent speed. Needless to say initially you get your legs scraped up a little.
The next run had us rappelling down over a cliff (with the waves crashing below) which ...

2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara Problems
There are many reports of low beam head light bulbs burning out prematurely. As of this writing Suzuki has not released a service bulletin addressing this issue. Using only high quality replacement bulbs, and extra care not to touch the bulb surface when handling the new bulb can help extend the life of the replacement bulbs.
The AC condenser fan motor may fail. If this occurs the air conditioning will stop blowing cold air.
The timing chain cover gasket and timing chain tensioner may fail, causing an oil leak or excessive noise. Because removing the timing chain is labor intensive, this can be an expensive repair.
2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara Questions
In winter the heater only gives off heat if the car is driven. If I stop at a stop sign, it immediately goes cold and then goes back to heat once I start driving again. Had the rad flushed but did not help at all. Yes, liquid levels are good and the thermostat was replaced.
Help please as winter...
Took it to a repairman he said its code P1061 or P0161..what is wrong?
2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara Recalls
The passenger seat contains a sensor which helps determine if the passenger front airbag should deploy or not in the event of a crash. It is called the occupant classification system (OCS), and is a mat that is part of the passenger seat cushion. These vehicles are being recalled because the OCS may fail due to the repeated flexing of the mat from general use of the seat. As a result, in the event of a crash the passenger airbag may deploy when it should not, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the front passenger seat cushion (which includes the OCS sensor mat) to correct this concern.
As a result of a failed tensioner, the accessory drive belt may slip or come off completely. This will result in hard steering and illumination of the charging system warning light. If the vehicle is driven in this condition, the engine may stall as a result of a discharged battery and the engine temperature warning light may illuminate. Loss of vehicle control due to hard steering or engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the tensioner with an improved part to correct this concern. This recall is to begin on February 16, 2011. The Suzuki recall number is SM.

Competition, Imitation, And R&D Productivity In A Growth Model With Sector-Specific Patent Protection
Download Now
Date Added: Jun 2010
Format: PDF
Recent empirical studies suggest a need for a flexible patent regime responding to industry characteristics. In practice, sector-specific modifications of patent strength already exist but lack theoretical foundation. This paper intends to make up for this neglect by scrutinizing in what direction industry characteristics influence optimal patent strength. It is found that patents ought to be weaker, the more intense competition, the higher R&D productivity, and the more intricate reverse engineering are. Unlike similar step-by-step innovation models of economic growth, the model assumes Cournot competition and introduces an empirically substantiated measure of sector differences in the ability to catch up with the technological leader.

San Jacinto State Park, Palm Springs
3 Reviews

No permit is required since your already a guest of the Aerial Tramway. They are several trails here you can enjoy. We did the first trail and I did that in flip flops, don't recommend it, but I survived:)
The first is Long Valley Discovery Trail, just follow the nature trail post around a ¾ mile (1.2 km) loop. This easy level trail provides an excellent introduction to the Parks plants and animals. No feeding the animals.
Desert View Trail: A 1.5 Mile (2 km) trail leads to a number of scenic overlooks and forest views. Short climbs, moderately strenuous.
Wilderness Trails: A number of excellent opportunities for more challenging day kikes or camping are beyond Long Valley. Please check in at the Ranger Station for a Wilderness Permit, and to inquire about current conditions. SO SIGN IN PLEASE, this is so they know when and who for YOUR safety.
Recorded information: 760-325-1391
Aerial Tramway
9:45 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m weekends and holidays. Cars depart at least every half hour. Last car.
The San Jacinto mountains border Palm Springs. Mount San Jacinto is one of the most accessible, although its a long way to the summit, whichever way you choose. We decided to ride the tram to 8,500 feet and the hike the remaining portion. For more information, feel free to browse my Mount San Jacinto page.
This state park is on a mountain overlooking Palm Springs. You can swim in the morning at PS and cross country ski here in the afternoon.

"Unlawful Retaliation" Can Include Retaliation Against an Employee That Did Not Engage in Protected Activity, But is Closely Related to an Employee Who Did Engage in Protected Activity
The United States Supreme Court in Thompson v. North American Stainless, L.P., held that an employee may seek relief directly under Title VII if he/she suffers an adverse employment action because of a close relationship with someone who has engaged in protected activity. This is true even where the employee has not engaged in protected activity.

10 Things You HAVE to Do in Marrakesh, Morocco
If you like shopping you will love the Souks in the old town. Row upon row of market stalls with Moroccan goods from jewellery to teapots to hand made carpets to tempt you. Even if you don't have money to spend the Souks are wonderful just to wander through and see the sights, although the sellers might coax you in, after all "looking is free".

The present invention relates to portable computer systems, and in particular to the management of performance and power consumption in a portable computer.
Portable computer systems have always lagged their desktop counterpart personal computers in speed and overall performance due to the limited power available in current batteries. Because the latest and fastest computer components, such as processors consume more power and generate more heat than lower speed components, they are not normally used in portable computer systems such as laptop computers. The use of high speed central processing units (CPUs) requires higher clock speed and higher voltages than current CPUs used for portable computer systems because the higher clock speed and higher operating voltage results in more power being consumed and thus heat being generated. The cooling of such components requires greater power, or larger heat sinks, which is readily available in larger desktop type computer systems.
Due to space constraints, thermal considerations and limited battery life, some portable computers employ various power management methods to reduce generation of heat while operating on battery power such that fans are not activated. Such methods include the reduction of the speed of the processor. When AC power is provided, the processor may run at higher speed and/or higher voltage, however, the cooling capability may not be sufficient to properly cool a portable computer using the current fastest processors and other components. Either there is not sufficient room for a large enough heat sink for the processor, or a large enough fan would consume so much power that the battery would not last long enough to meet current user expectations.
There is a need for a portable computer which can utilize the faster processors that generate more heat than can currently be dissipated by portable computers. There is a further need to operate such processors at higher speed at selected times. There is yet a further need to provide such abilities without using larger heat sinks or other solutions that would increase the size and or weight of such portable computers.
A portable computer receives addition cooling capabilities from an external docking station. The portable computer detects such cooling capacity and modifies its performance. In one embodiment, the portable computer system has a case with openings placed in alignment with mating openings in a docking station which provides additional active cooling capacity. The portable computer system case also has further openings and a defined air flow path to enhance airflow across a processor to cool it more effectively.
In one embodiment, the active cooling provided by the docking station is a fan, or other device which pulls or pushes air from or into the portable computer system case. The mating openings and further openings in the computer system case are positioned to optimize the cooling effectiveness of the air flow with respect to the processor and other heat producing components. Further active cooling apparatus include a compressor coupled to refrigeration coils positioned beneath the portable computer, and other devices which provide active cooling such as by refrigeration or sound and diaphragm combinations. Still further embodiments utilize heat pipes positioned proximate the processor of the portable computer and functioning to transfer heat to the docking station where active heat transfer is provided. Yet further embodiments utilize extruded aluminum slugs to transfer heat from the bottom of the portable computer to the active cooling mechanism provided in the docking station.
In one embodiment, power management functions of the computer system are alerted that the portable computer has been docked with the docking station. Once alerted, the power management functions allow the processor to operate at higher speed, relying on the extra cooling capacity provided by the docking station to properly cool the processor. In a further embodiment, the power management functions simply rely on temperature sensing to control the processor speed.
The extra cooling capacity provided by the docking station then allows the processor to run indefinitely at higher speed. The extra cooling capacity may also provide the ability to utilize faster, more expensive processors which generate more heat without sacrificing the power of the processor when docked. It further enhances the ability to obtain desktop performance from a docked portable computer, while retaining the ability to slow the CPU speed, and/or operating voltage to obtain longer battery life when undocked.

In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
A portable computer system is indicated generally at 110 coupled to a docking station 112. The portable computer system has a display device 114 (indicated in broken line form) rotatably coupled to one end of a portable computer system case 116. In one embodiment, the portable computer system 110 is a Gateway 2000, Inc Solo� having a keyboard 118, a touchpad 120, speakers 122 and 124 and other commonly provided accessibly computer peripheral and connectors. The case 116 is shown in cutaway form to expose a processor 130. In one embodiment, the processor 130 has a heat sink 132 mounted thereon with fins 134 to help dissipate heat when cooling is effected in both a passive mode, or an active mode. Thus, the need for a fan located within the computer system case 116 is either eliminated, or a smaller fan may be employed as desired.
The processor 130 is mounted in the case 116 proximate a plurality of mating openings 140. The mating openings 140 mate with counterpart openings in a case of the docking station 112 which contains a fan 150 mounted therein for drawing or moving air from the computer system case 116 through mating openings 140 to help cool the processor 130. The docking station 112 also contains a power supply for providing additional power to allow the portable computer system 110 to operate at higher voltages and/or amperages.
Air intake openings 155 are indicated in the top of case 116 and positioned to one side of the processor 130. Air is drawn in through intake openings 155 as represented by lines 156. The air is then drawn through the fins 134 of heat sink 132 as represented by line 157 and out through the mating openings 140, through the docking station as represented by lines 158 and out of the docking station past the fan 150 as indicated by lines 159.
Processor 130 in the past has been mounted on an aluminum backing plate for keyboard 118, which acts as a heat sink. In the present invention, the processor is mounted in such a manner as to enable outside air to be drawn past it and then into the docking station through the mating openings 140. While shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1 as residing near the back of the case, proximate the docking station, and between the air intake openings 155 and mating openings 140, it will be recognized that it could be positioned otherwise within the portable computer case 116 while still obtaining the same cooling effects, provided that the air intake and mating openings are also repositioned proximate the processor, or in a position to help create a well defined airflow past the processor heat sink.
Further air intake openings are optionally provided on a front edge of the computer case as indicated at 170 for drawing in air as represented by lines 172. Air intake openings may be positioned wherever desired, resulting in airflow operating to cool other components which generate undesired heat, as represented by airflow line 174.
In FIG. 2, a rear elevation view of portable computer 110 is shown with a first set of mating openings 210 and second set of mating openings 212 located on either side of a docking electrical connector 214 which comprises a PCI bus in one embodiment, but may also be infrared or other electromagnetic communication device. A separate switch 216 is also located in a position on the rear of the portable computer to come into contact with a corresponding switch contact 316 shown in FIG. 3 on the docking station 112. These switches are well known in the art, and may take many different forms, from mechanically actuated to electrically actuated. The switch 216 is coupled in a known manner to provide an indication to power management software running on processor 130 that the portable computer is docked, and receiving additional cooling capacity. The switch or contact 316 is coupled to the docking station power supply and may be used to automatically initiate the provision of AC power and turn on fan 150 to provide cooling. It may also just be a plastic projection that actuates switch 216 to indicate that the docking station has been successfully coupled to the portable computer.
A front view of docking station 112 in FIG. 3 also comprises mating openings 310 formed in the docking station case which mate with openings 210 on the computer case 116, and also comprises openings 312 which mate with openings 212. A further plurality of openings 320 are provided proximate the fan 150 to provide for the exit of air drawn in from the portable computer. Further, a female connector 314 mates with a male connector 214 on the computer case to provide communications between the computer and the docking station. Docking station 112 further comprises a switch 316 to indicate successful coupling to the portable computer. Many docking stations or docking bars provide AC power and further peripheral devices such as disk drives and network cards, all as represented by docking station 112.
FIG. 4 shows a portable computer 410 having an alternative positioning of mating openings indicated at 412 and 414. Openings 412 comprise circular holes formed in the case, either as the case is molded, or after the case is formed the openings are formed as by drilling. Further openings 414 are oval or elongated circles as shown to provide for even greater airflow. Openings 414 and 412 are located near the bottom of the back side of the computer case. Since the processor is also located near the bottom of the computer case, more air is likely to be directed through the fins of the heat sink, providing even better cooling. While these openings are shown off to one side of the case, they could be located anywhere along the back side of the case depending on the placement of the processor and the air intake holes. Both of these sets of openings are designed to mate with similar openings shown at 514 and 516 of and alternative docking station indicated at 512 in FIG. 5. Further, larger, elongated openings are shown at 520 for the exhaustion of air from the docking station 512. It should be noted that the types of openings may easily be modified by one of average skill in the art to many different shapes to obtain desired airflow characteristics. With the openings located toward one side of the computer as shown in FIG. 4, the placement of the air intake openings and the processor heat sink will also need to modified. In one embodiment, the fins of the heat sink may be placed so that the run from the front to the back of the computer, at right angles from that shown in FIG. 1. The fins could also be placed to encourage direct airflow between the intake and exhaust (mating) openings. In this case, the fins may be placed at any angle relative to the case of the computer. The placement of openings and the processor may be dictated by the need to place many components inside of a limited space case. Thus, the freedom to modify the angle or orientation of the fins provides more design freedom in locating such other components while still maintain the advantages provided by the present invention.
FIG. 6 represents yet a further embodiment of the invention wherein air intake openings 612 are provided on a side of a computer case 610. This placement of intake openings provides more freedom in the use of the portable computer when docked. Many times, a display 414 of the portable computer does not have the quality and ease of viewing associated with large screen CRT displays which are often provided by with docking stations. In the event that such a CRT display is being used, the display 414 of the portable may be in a locked down position, which could block the flow of air in through intake openings 155 in FIG. 1. Providing air intake openings 612 on the side of the computer case 610 reduces such a problem. It may also allow for more air to flow evenly across the fins of the heat sink, since the air will be following more of a straight path from the side rather than from the top.
As mentioned above, present power management systems of portable computers slow down the processor to avoid excess generation of heat by the processor which cannot be effectively dissipated. An improved power management system is represented by the flowchart represented in FIG. 7. The flowchart is representative of code modules or a module running on the processor 130, or other electronic device or machine as desired, and may be hardcoded, hardwired, or written in software and stored on machine readable media such as RAM, CDROM, or disk drive to name but a few. It may also be received via network and run directly from the network. The flowchart is entered at 710 upon power up of the portable computer. At 712, the normal power management functions are run, which result in processor speeds being cut and hence performance reduced. At decision block 714, an interrupt resulting from the docking switch 216 being triggered indicates that docking as been detected. In one embodiment, the docking switch is sensitive to only a docking station which provides additional cooling functionality. If no docking has been detected, the normal standalone power management is continued. However, if docking is detected, the power management system runs the processor at higher speed or cycle time at 720 relying of sufficient cooling being provided by the docking station or docking bar. If undocking is detected at 730, again as indicated by the switch 216, standalone power management is reentered at 712. In further embodiments, the power management systems also decrease the operating voltage with decreases in operating speed. This further decreases the power consumed in power conservation modes.
In FIG. 8, a further alternative embodiment of a docking station 810 provides active cooling by means of refrigerative cooling. In a cutaway portion of a base support 812 of the docking station 810 corresponding to where a portable computer would rest when engaged with the docking station, a cooling coil is shown at 814. The cooling coil may be filled with any type of fluid, such as water or gas, or common refrigerant to provide cooling for the portable computer. A compressor is shown at 816 which is coupled to the coil 814 in a common manner. The compressor 816 may be a common compressor used in refrigeration systems, or may be just a fan which provides cooling of the portion of the coil 814 proximate to it.
In FIG. 9, yet a further alternative embodiment showing how active cooling of a portable computer 912 is provided by a docking station 910. The portable computer 912 comprises two cooling blocks 914 and 916 which may be heat sinks coupled to one or more processors or other heat producing elements within the portable computer. Cooling blocks 914 and 916 are coupled through heat transfer pads 920 and 922 to a heat transfer rod 926 with corresponding projections 928 and 930 contacting the heat transfer pads 920 and 922. The pads may reside on the bottom of the portable computer, or on a docking station base 932, placed to contact the blocks 914 and 916 when the computer is operatively coupled to the docking station 910. Heat transfer rod 926 comprises an extruded aluminum slug in one embodiment, but could be made of any other material having desired heat transfer characteristics. The heat transfer rod 926 is then formed in the shape of fins 934 spaced a suitable distance from the portable computer. The fins are then actively cooled by fan or other cooling device 936.
In a still further alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a docking station 1010 provides active cooling for a portable computer 1012 by the use of heat pipes. A central processing unit CPU 1014 is located in the portable computer thermally coupled proximate a first heat pipe 1016. The first heat pipe is coupled via an aluminum collar 1018 mounted on the docking station 1010 to second heat pipe 1020 which may be fanned out into cooling fins at 1022 for cooling by an active cooling mechanism such as a fan 1026 positioned proximate the heat pipe within the docking station. In a variation, the heat pipe 1016 is coupled to a heat sink or other heat transfer mechanism in the docking station in place of the heat pipe and actively cooled by any of the previous methods described.
It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. For instance, the location of mating holes or openings along with the placement of the processor and the placement or orientation of the heat sink on the processor may be modified as desired or needed due to design constraints. Further, temperature sensors may be used to determine the speed at which the processor runs as opposed to the use of switches or other means. Further, the switches may be incorporated into the electrical connector, or simply be coupled to one of the connectors to determine if the impedance or other detectable characteristic of the connector has changed, indicating that the portable computer is coupled to a docking station or other type of device which provides both more power and active cooling capabilities. Moreover, the air flow may be modified such that the docking station moves air into the portable computer as opposed to only drawing air from it. The docking station also provides a common power supply, which when combined with the increased cooling abilities enables the computer to operate at higher voltages and/or amperages, which can increase the performance of the computer system. While a docking station is described, it should be clear that other types of devices that provide cooling may also be used although not normally referred to as a docking station. The scope of the invention should, therefore, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice the buy backs (though they should be significantly larger). Your post made me do some research into executive compensation.Executive compensation last year as a % of net income is horrible. 2.2 million in top executive comp 13 million in net income. 17% of net income is executive compensation. Compare this to Stewart Title with 2 million in executive compensation (for the top 3 execs) and 43 million in net income for a percentage of 4.6%. Their compensation appears to be egregious. Too bad the executives are also controlling shareholders. Name and Principal PositionJ. Allen FineChief Executive Officer &Chairman of the Board802,430 James A.

Profit-driven entrepreneurs do more to help low-income families than many activists with social missions, keynote speaker Iqbal Quadir said April 24, 2015, at the fifth annual Emerging Markets Forum in Washington, D.C.
Since 1989, Duke University's Fuqua School of Business has hosted an annual weekend event for teams from top MBA programs across the country to take part in friendly competition alongside Special Olympics Athletes: the Duke MBA Games. This year, April 17-19 in Durham, NC, MBA students from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business took home the first place prize for 2015.

Free advice can sometimes be worth a lot

Were the mayoral election held today and not at the end of next year, Mayor Martin Chavez would not be re-elected no matter how much money he raises and spends. Given the field of interested candidates (Marty, former D.A. Bob Schwartz, City Councilor Eric Griego, and State Sen. Linda Lopez to name some) odds are Schwartz would leave his post as Gov. Bill Richardson's crime guru and take up residence on the 11th floor of City Hall.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Scotland—A would-be vampire working at the Edinburgh Dungeons' horror tour has been removed from her job after fainting at the sight of blood. Marianne Sellar, who plays a vampire at the popular tourist attraction, was about to take a bite from a "victim" planted in the audience when another audience member announced that she had a nosebleed. Ms. Sellar, 24, collapsed and was forced to admit to her bosses that she has had a life-long phobia of blood. "It is quite embarrassing," Sellar told the Daily Mail. "I had managed to keep my phobia a secret for three years because normally we only deal with fake blood, which I can handle. When the visitor showed me all the real blood, I just collapsed." Ms. Sellar has been moved to another part of the tourist attraction and a new actress is being trained to replace her role in the Dungeons' feature tour "Vampires: Fact or Fiction?"
