Senate outraged at having to work over the weekend
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Howls of protest filled the halls of the U.S. Senate today as dozens of Senators expressed their outrage at having to work through the weekend to save the United States from financial Armageddon.
"We're hearing a lot about the country plunging back into recession and millions of people being thrown out of work," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). "What we're not hearing much about is how our Sunday is being completely and irrevocably ruined."
Senator McConnell said that when President Obama called the Senate back to work on a budget deal this weekend, "At first I thought he was kidding. Not only have I never worked on a weekend, I've never met anyone who's done such a damn fool thing."
The Senate Minority Leader added that "if saving this country means working Saturday and Sunday, then I'm not sure this is a country worth saving."
"Yes, I know that the fiscal cliff is a ticking time bomb that could destroy the U.S. economy for years to come and take the rest of the world with it," he said. "I also know that Sunday is Week seventeen of the N.F.L. season and now I'm missing all my games."
Mr. McConnell said that while "saving the nation may be important to be some people," he worries that forcing the Senate to work on a weekend is setting a dangerous precedent.
"For years, people have run for Congress because they knew that serving here was synonymous with not working," he said. "If that's going to change all of a sudden, a lot of us are going to feel very betrayed."

Does this attitude make anyone else sick?
Please tell me this is the onion!!!
I realize this is a joke but it it's kind of a double joke...calling what they do "work".
Poor,poor, babies. My heartbreaks for them.
Had they been more productive when they should have been, they would not be there.
I do feel for their families, particularly their children. I am sure they are missed at home.

The Blog
Foer the Record
11:16 PM, Aug 2, 2007 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
In an interview with the New York Observer earlier today, New Republic editor Frank Foer singles out THE WEEKLY STANDARD for recklessness in raising questions about a pseudonymous column by a soldier in Iraq, Scott Thomas Beauchamp, published two weeks ago in the New Republic. Foer's accusation is misleading and unwarranted.
The article in question, "Shock Troops," was a collection of first-person "vignettes" (TNR's term) that described the author's cruelty and that of his fellow soldiers. The point, according to the New Republic, was to depict "the morally and emotionally distorting effects of war."
The Observer's Michael Calderone writes: "Of the Weekly Standard in particular, Mr. Foer said he did not assist in their reporting when contacted because of 'the reckless way they handled their investigation.'"
This is preposterous. Foer did in fact assist us in our reporting, whatever he now says to the contrary. However, a key corroborating detail that he obtained from the author and passed along to me--before I ever published a word about Scott Thomas Beauchamp--turns out now to have been false.
Before publicly raising questions about Beauchamp's reliability as a narrator of war stories, I interviewed Foer by phone on the afternoon of July 17. His description of the "fact-checking" process for Beauchamp's article did not inspire confidence. Here is how he described the New Republic's due diligence in his interview with me:
After our conversation, Foer followed up with several emails. Here is our entire exchange, with only the email addresses edited out:
Only after that exchange did I publish my first piece on the subject--a request to the "milblogging community to do some digging of their own, and individual soldiers and veterans to come forward with relevant information--either about the specific events or their plausibility in general."
The reader can judge who was reckless here.

Kerik, I found several references about gelatin inhibiting Pt right now I can only find this historical one....
"We find evidence from an early stage (1880) of Willis's awareness that platinotype chemistry is inhibited by gelatin. He therefore avoided it as a sizing agent for his papers..."
There was also a more recent reference that actually explained what was happening in terms of the chemical process and as I recall the Pt was more inhibited than the Pd..... I will try to find that link tonight.
I do not know the name of the paper..... I found a simple way to strip the emulsion from PX 3001 (yes I can hear you all groaning in disgust... but the paper surface is gorgeous and the paper is strong).... I think that if I can find the right resizing agent it will be a viable paper for me... sorry to disappoint.

I'm just curious to know if any other mommies are using the "Arianna Baby-Vac nasal aspirator?" I started with the "nose frida" at the time my baby was about 2 weeks old. I had used the regular "bulb" but had achieved very little success. The "nose frida" worked wonderfully until he was about 3 months old and became a "squirmy" little thing. The "Arianna" has been a blessing... his running nose barely last more than 3 days. My LO is 10 months old now and he's yet to have any respiratory infections or cough, which I like to attribute that to the use of saline solution and the "Arianna." I was just curious to find out how many other mommies are using it too. It's not really sold nor advertised in the US... it originated, I think, from Hungary. A lot of my mommy friends think I'm nuts, but I tell you, it's the best thing out there!
So I saw this video on a different thread and I wanted to add it to mine, just so everyone sees the "Arianna" at work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIOSUZberyQ ***Warning: It might freak out some mommies out there LOL... but I swear by it. I've been using it since my LO was 6 mos and his runny nose has never lasted more than 3 days... It's amazing! Plus, it's used all over Europe.

Reporting Services 2008
RS 2008 includes full support for Teradata-based report models. You can create and use semantic models based off Teradata similar to how Reporting Services already supports this for SQL Server, Analysis Services, and Oracle. Furthermore, RS 2008 includes a Teradata data extension directly in the box. Among other features, that data extension provides full support for multi-valued query parameters in Teradata queries.
The only step left for you is to download and install Teradata's .NET Data Provider for Teradata 12.0. No further configuration step is needed for RS 2008.
Finally, I recommend to read the following whitepaper on using Teradata connectivity in Reporting Services.
Reporting Services 2005 SP3
With the recent release of Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2005, we include the same level of report model / semantic query support for Teradata that we provide in Reporting Services 2008. Furthermore, the Teradata data extension is included as well.
Before you can use this new functionality in SP3 however, manual steps are necessary to turn it on after the installation of SP3, and Teradata's .NET data provider. The manual steps are explained in detail in the updated SQL Server 2005 Books Online documentation, and in the MSDN online help page for "Configuring Reporting Services for Teradata-based Report Models".
Registering Teradata's .NET Data Provider directly (without data extension)
If you are on RS 2005 SP2 or lower, I highly recommend to upgrade to RS 2005 SP3 or RS 2008 - you will get built-in support for Teradata-based report models, and Teradata connectivity with extended features such multi-value parameters.
However, if you aren't ready to upgrade quite yet, you still have the option of using direct Teradata data connectivity by manually registering the data provider directly in RSReportDesigner.config and RSReportServer.config. This provides the ability to define and execute queries against Teradata data sources. However, this does not provide support for any of the extended data features in Reporting Services such as multi-valued query parameters (please see this documentation link for more details on the differences).
Steps for manual registration of Teradata's data provider with Reporting Services:
Report Server:
Report Designer in BI Development Studio:
Btw, besides the managed provider, Reporting Services also works with Teradata's ODBC and OLEDB data providers. Those don't need any particular RS config file registrations, as they are supported via the generic ODBC and OLEDB data extension by Reporting Services.
I hope December is treating everyone well. I wanted to post a quick summary of new resources related

I like keeping fit because I enjoy exercising. As I write this I just completed the sun run and am hurting from it; I am not all that impressively fit just reasonably so. I go to the fitness world near where I live and it might be interesting to know more people there, but most of my gym workouts are rather solitary activities. While I don't really need companionship at the gym, I would love someone to hike with.
Cooking as a necessity makes me sad; I often neglect to properly cook for myself. I find much more pleasure in cooking with someone else (even cooking for someone else is so much better than for myself.). Sharing the adventure of cooking something new is always enjoyable.
I am not at all interested in drugs or excessive everyday drinking. I rarely drink, maybe a half dozen times a year, I probably only get drunk once or twice a year. In moderation I can have a good time with alcohol, but I would be far more inclined to stop drinking all together than I would be to drink a lot more. I am really not all that strongly against pot, but I have found it just doesn't work for me in a relationship.
Some selling points about me:
- I'm not a crazy psycho. (I've heard that's a plus)
- I know exactly what I am looking for. Well, more or less. There's a bit of wiggle room. :P
- I don't play games. They simply waste my time and yours.
- I've got goals, aspirations, and a game plan to actually achieve them.
If you have read this far and are thinking I don't sound too offensive to your sensibilities you should send me a message. If I looked at your profile and didn't send you a message it probably was not a rejection... You might have just been too cute.

Relatively unknown until the past few years, the gluten-free diet has become increasingly trendy, due in no small part to professional athletes and stars attributing their lean bodies and impressive performances to cutting gluten. And now, thanks to teen performer Miley Cyrus's recent tweet that her skinny figure is due to gluten allergies, many wonder if going gluten-free is an ideal way to lose weight.
Not quite, says registered dietitian and celiac disease expert Cheryl Harris. Before you trash every loaf of bread and box of pasta in your pantry, know this: Research shows that most people who go gluten-free actually gain a substantial amount of weight.
The reason someone like Cyrus who has wheat or gluten allergy has lost weight, Harris says, is because "they've cut out large quantities of food or processed food altogether."
"If anyone were to say, 'I'm going to give up all sandwiches and pastries,' then they would absolutely lose weight," she says. "But that has nothing to do with gluten."
People who suffer from celiac disease also tend to lose weight because "patients are unable to absorb nutrients in the food they eat, so they lose weight even when they aren't trying to," says Vanessa Maltin Weisbrod, executive editor of Delight Gluten-Free Magazine.
Adds Heather Aitken-Cade of Celiac Family, once they start a gluten-free diet, weight gain occurs as their body heals and is able to absorb nutrients and calories that once passed through.
Those who truly suffer from gluten or wheat allergies, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or autoimmune diseases almost always feel better on a balanced, gluten-free diet. But for those who don't have a gluten allergy or celiac disease, Weizbrod warns, "You can't just walk into Whole Foods, buy a ton of gluten-free cakes, cookies, crackers, chips, and treats and consider them diet food."
Those who raid the gluten-free aisles are going about it the wrong way, adds Mint fitness director Vanessa Hailes. "There's the population of diet-crazed individuals who think gluten-free screams 'no carbs!' What they don't realize is that there are still carbs, calories, and sugar in gluten-free products."
They might even end up eating greater quantities of the gluten-free products, "possibly doubling or even tripling their caloric intake, which will prevent weight loss and lead to weight gain," Hailes adds.
But then there are athletes like pro tennis star Novak Djokovic, who switched to a gluten-free diet last year and later won the US Open. He credited his stellar performance to his dietary change, which he made after a nutritionist said he was allergic to gluten. So could eliminating gluten have the same effect for other people?
Athletes may certainly see positive results by going gluten-free, but for the same reasons most people's health improves when they go about it the right way, says Weisbrod: They maintain a balanced, natural diet that excludes processed foods while including vegetables, fresh fruits, fish, meats, and whole grains.
In the end, it doesn't hurt to eliminate gluten from one's diet, but only if it's for the right reasons. Harris reminds those looking to go gluten-free that only 6 percent of the population is gluten-sensitive, and 1 percent suffers from celiac disease. That means 93 percent of the population doesn't necessarily need to give up gluten.
"It may be worth a try," says Harris, "but it's not for everyone."

Pentagon Can't Account for $15 Billion
Posted By admin On May 23, 2008 @ 10:15 am In Iraq,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Dana Hedgpeth
Washington Post
May 23, 2008
The inspector general for the Defense Department said yesterday that the Pentagon cannot account for almost $15 billion worth of goods and services ranging from trucks, bottled water and mattresses to rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns that were bought from contractors in the Iraq reconstruction effort.
The Pentagon did not have the proper documentation, including receipts, vouchers, signatures, invoices or other paperwork, for $7.8 billion that American and Iraqi contractors were paid for phones, folders, paint, blankets, Nissan trucks, laundry services and other items, according to a 69-page audit released to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
An earlier audit by the inspector general found deficiencies in accounting for $5.2 billion of U.S. payments to buy weapons, trucks, generators and other equipment for Iraq's security forces. In addition, the Defense Department spent $1.8 billion of seized Iraqi assets with "absolutely no accountability," according to Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), who chairs the oversight committee. The Pentagon also kept poor records on $135 million that it paid to its partners in the multinational military force in Iraq, auditors said.
The Army disagreed with some of the auditors' findings, saying that it is difficult to maintain an adequate paper trail in a war zone and that it has improved its record-keeping and accountability efforts. Robert L. Wilkie, assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs, declined an invitation to testify before from Waxman's committee.

This finding led to collaborations with the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project (NSABP), establishing Tamoxifen as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer and use of receptor proteins as tissue biomarkers of a patient's prognosis and response. With NEN/Dupont, Dr. Wittliff developed the original FDA-approved kits for assessing receptors in biopsies. His laboratory was designated the National Reference Facility for performing quality assurance (QA) surveys of receptor testing for historical clinical trials in North America and for establishing the College of American Pathologists QA Surveys. In recognition of his contributions to medicine, the University of Innsbruck, Austria, awarded Dr. Wittliff, Doctor of Medicine honoris causa. The American Association for Clinical Chemistry honored him with an award for Outstanding Contributions to Clinical Chemistry in a Selected Area of Research; he is also the recipient of the Distinguished Scientist's Award by the Clinical Ligand Assay Society. In 2004, the American Cancer Society recognized his lifetime achievements with the Goldsmith Research Excellence Award. His research team is now working with Xceed to develop clinically related tests for breast and other cancers using its proprietary Ziplex System. Dr. Wittliff's discoveries and development of a unique tumor marker database resulted in the filing of new patents for the University of Louisville and the licensing of his technologies.

CryEngine quality graphics have finally graced the iOS, just not in the manner you would have anticipated. The Collectables is a third person action title from developer DeNA, and though it boasts some appealing visuals and entertaining gameplay, if you aren't one for micro-transactions you'll quickly find yourself spending more time waiting for the chance to gun down bad guys then you will in battle.
If there's any plot, it's in your imagination. Briefings for the games 44 missions are a sentence each and cheeky in execution. One mission briefing tells you to stop the enemy because they are "trying to move the entire videogame's supply of red explosive barrels to a safe location." The only thing you really need to know is that there are two types of units on the screen; the ones you bring to the fight and the ones you're trying to take out of it.
The missions are divided into campaigns, and as with most free-to-play models, there are caveats. Each mission costs 20 energy points from a regenerating pool of 140. The loadout screen before the mission gives you the chance to edit your hero and action cards. Heroes come in several varieties. They'll wield various weapons, have different attack, defense and xp boost ratings, and range from common to epic. The only thing you're going to need to worry about is the stats, and you can only wield 4 at once. They can be upgraded with fuel though, and the amount of times this can be done varies from card to card.
You'll also need to determine which action cards to bring. The higher your level the more you can bring into battle, and these are what you'll use for special abilities, healing and weapons. Also capable of being leveled up, you'll want to change them depending on tactics. Want the enemy to play turncoat for 5 seconds? Grab a couple Double or Triple Agent cards. Looking for a speed boost and a quick attack? Sprint and Throwing Knife are a necessity. It generally takes a failed mission before you know what might really come in handy, but the large variety of cards makes for a plethora of tactical possibilities.
Once you're ready for battle you'll find the gameplay is intuitive and easy. Touching the screen moves all four units at once. If you want to move an individual, just place your finger on them and drag it to where you'd like them to go. Tactics are fairly simple. You can position an individual behind any number of objects and they'll crouch and fire over the top of them. Anything more complicated than that will come from card usage. These tactics start out quite simply, but as the enemy utilizes more devious forms of technology, you'll need to branch out from firecrackers and knives. EMP cards can disrupt nano-cloaking devices, walls can supply temporary force fields. It's fun to try different combinations and makes you look forward to getting new cards. The music has a pulsing tecno like aspect to it, and I expect the Collectables frequent the island discotheque in between missions. You'll quickly get used to the hammer of automatic gunfire and nice boom you get from explosives. Sound effects are well done and add to the experience without feeling cheesy or overwhelming.
Every mission has rewards, and you'll get increasing rewards for completing the mission up to five times. These can include cards of both types, fuel for upgrades, or the games valued currency, gold. You won't get much from completing missions, but when card packs are so expensive it makes every little bit count. Gold can be used to replenish energy, buy fuel, or get those namesakes, the Collectables. Boosters containing random cards cost as little as 199 gold, and boosters guaranteeing epic level cards can cost as much as 2999 gold. Considering the real world price of gold, $4.99 for 750 up to $49.99 for 10125, at the minimum you'll pay almost 14 dollars for the best cards.
If you want to take a break from main missions you can always spend your energy on a weekly affair called Global Meltdown, where you play the same missions repeatedly for increasing prizes. Currently there's an 8 day deadline and the best prize is achievable only after 750 playthroughs, meaning the lower tier prizes are likely the only ones you'll get. You'll have to pay quite a lot of real money to replenish your fuel the number of times it would take to beat these within the allotted time frame, and fuel replenishment is really where this game loses its edge.
Points replenish incredibly slowly, at about the rate of one a minute. With missions lasting an average of two to four minutes, you'll get under 30 minutes of playtime before you have to wait for a refill. That means over two hours of waiting if you're like me, and would rather take up a session knowing you get to play your full mission allotment. For anyone who's suffered from a Candy Crush addiction, 40 minutes felt like an eternity, and there's no cheating this game's clock. Because of this it becomes more of a simulation in the anticipation of playing The Collectables than it is does an actual game. As a singeplayer game you won't be doing any trading either, so any soldiers you collect will remain with you, never seeing use against a live opponent.
At its best The Collectables is a fast paced action strategy light with a beautifully integrated power-up system, at its worst its like being in line for an amusement park ride with a park employee constantly reminding you that if you give them five dollars they'll gladly escort you to the front. I'm not one for the micro-transaction model in this instance, and I only hope that a year or two from now we see a single priced full version of The Collectables. Those are some cards I would pay for.
The Collectables was reviewed on an iPhone 4S using a retail copy downloaded from the iOS Store.

The Collectables is fun when you're playing it, but hampered by an overly long energy replenishment system and exceedingly expensive micro-transactions.

For extras, you despise virtually every member of Congress. Hearings are contentious, often rude. Members are playing politics all the time. It takes forever and a week to get anything done. Plus there's the Pentagon, where, of all places, lots and lots of officials and officers don't seem to know that we're at war. There's very little urgency about protecting troops, and these guys just continue business as usual, without insisting that we get new vehicles into Iraq and then Afghanistan that will do better against the enemy's most effective weapons (the Iranian-made IEDs and other "roadside bombs" and their ilk).
What to do?
The Washington wisdom says you either stay and suffer, do the best you can, or take your marbles home to the Great Northwest. You stayed for a couple of years, which Washington generally calls "the honorable thing." That's of a piece with your history. After all, you were brought in — to replace Rumsfeld — to preside over the retreat from Iraq, only to find that the policy had changed, and you then loyally and effectively presided over the surge.
You left for a reason that seemingly has nothing to do with policy disagreements, or the quality of political leadership. You left because you had become so emotionally close to the troops that you couldn't talk to them or about them without choking up. You realized that you were no longer capable of reasoning objectively about war.
For me, that's a truly honorable decision. You decided your decisions couldn't be trusted any more, which meant you couldn't do your job properly, and so you went home. Bravo.
Then you wrote Duty. It's not nearly as polemical as the published excerpts suggest. Big chunks of the book's six hundred (!) pages deal with bureaucratic maneuver, and few readers will want to plow through the lengthy descriptions — complete with substantial quotations — of the internal fights over "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," or funding for various aircraft. Anyway, your concerns by and large have to do with people, not with policy decisions, with which (to repeat) you don't have very many fundamental disagreements. You are offended by the lack of professionalism, by the excessive role of ideology (the Obama loyalists truly believed that everything Bush did was wrong; this wasn't "spin"); in short by the amateurishness of the top leaders, especially Biden and the National Security staffers.
You were an old-fashioned professional — a throwback to the WASP elite that ruled Washington in your formative years — surrounded by a crowd of new-breed activists who, as products of our failed educational system (about which I wish you had had more to say; after all, you were president of Texas A&M for several years), don't know scuff from Shinola about the world and its history. You don't understand them very well, nor their intimate bond with the president. You remark that Obama lacks passion (quoting his line to you that he ran for president in considerable part because he was "bored in the Senate"), yet those phalanxes of activists are very passionate, and they are there because he wants them there. Did you not consider the possibility that they are the foot soldiers for Obama's passions?

A U.S. military intelligence report says that followers of radical Shi'ite cleric Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr imprisoned, killed and mutilated Iraqis who opposed his insurrection.
American intelligence officers are now investigating in the town of Najaf, the site of Sheik al-Sadr's bloody standoff with coalition forces. A U.S. military officer told The Washington Times that the command recently acquired photos of 15 to 20 mutilated bodies that appear to be Iraqis lying in a courtyard.
A written U.S. intelligence report, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, puts the body count much higher, based on an Iraqi informant, some of whose information was confirmed by local police.
The report said that after last week's truce, Iraqi forces moved into buildings held by the radical cleric's Mahdi's Army militia and found the bodies.
"Inside the court building, Iraqi police found approximately 200 mutilated bodies taken by the Moqtada militia for speaking out against Moqtada al Sadr," said the intelligence report sent to the Pentagon and stamped "secret."
"Some of the prisoners had eyes and ears drilled out and others had their limbs and heads cut off. Some males had genitals cut off and shoved in their mouths. There was evidence of rape to men, women and children," according to the report.
The senior officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the number of bodies found is much less than 200. The source said that while it appears certain that the bodies exist, the circumstances of when and where the people were killed, and by whom, remained unknown yesterday.
"We don't have a complete picture of where they came from," the officer said. "We're trying to uncover what really happened before we are able to release information."
The source said that the U.S. command in Baghdad only learned of the deaths Sunday, and later acquired the photographs of mutilated bodies.
"There appears to be a large group of bodies that were uncovered," the officer said.
He said that a military-intelligence unit was in Najaf investigating the deaths, alongside Iraqi police.
Sheik al-Sadr has led several deadly uprisings in southern Iraq, unleashing his rifle-toting, ragtag army on coalition forces and innocent civilians. U.S. Army and Marine units have responded by attacking and killing scores of the fighters.
Sheik al-Sadr holed up in Najaf's main mosque for days before Iraq's leading Shi'ite, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, returned from Britain and helped negotiate a cease-fire on Thursday.
The sheik's aides say that he now may choose to enter politics. But if his Mahdi's Army is tied to the massacre of innocent Iraqis, he could face a criminal investigation.
"The commander of the Sadr movement, leader Muqtada Sadr, announced today in Najaf the end of all fighting in the whole of Iraq and the integration of his movement in the political process," Sheik Naim al-Qaabi said last week.

The Czech-based team, who have axed Sylvain Guintoli, Jakub Smrz and Maxime Berger, have called time on the season although they publicly remain committed to the 2013 campaign.
McCormick was fifth at the last round in Portimao and the team claimed its maiden WSBK victory via Guintoli at Assen.
Max Biaggi (347 points), British rider Tom Sykes (316.5) and Marco Melandri (308.5) will vie for the title in the season finale.
Even if Sykes takes a double win and 50 points, Biaggi just needs 20 - akin to two sixth places - to take the title.
The Manufacturers' battle is also at stake with Biaggi's Aprilia leading the way with 422.5 points against Melandri's BMW on 394 and reigning champions Ducati on 375.

MAC has come out with a collection called "Warm and Cozy", which is just what its name implies – warm toned products. This is a larger collection with items from color cosmetics, that are primarily neutral nudes that fall on the warm end of the spectrum, to body products.
I had a chance to try out several products from this line, but my favorite of it had to be the Care Blends Essential Oils, Grapefruit & Chamomile, if only for the aromatherapy qualities alone. (*The fact that it soaked in and applied like a dry oil immeditately didn't hurt anything, either.)
As with most MAC collections, this one is Limited Edition. It's on counters now thru February, with the International release in February. Let me know if you pick any of this up & what you liked the most.

A kayaker who went missing along the Minnesota River near Courtland this summer has been declared legally dead. 51-year-old Stephen Fritze of Watertown, South Dakota and two others were kayaking on the river on June 22nd when Fritze apparently hit a tree in the river and his kayak capsized. Dozens of different law enforcement agencies and fire and rescue departments searched the river for more than a month, but Fritze's body was never found and the official search efforts ended in early August. A Nicollet County judge recently ordered the state to register Fritze as dead due to drowning.

I have left Microsoft and this blog is no longer under my control. All of the content should remain for some time however and any new updates can be found at http://davedev.net.
-Dave, September 2013
The downloads just went live a few minutes ago! If you are an MSDN or TechNet Subscriber you can download Windows7 now.
The downloads include both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions as well as Ultimate. I can't help but feel such excitement downloading a fresh new operating system and installing it across my machines. Brings back memories of Windows 2000 getting released over MSDN and installing Server for the first time on my then current laptop. Wasn't long after that I got an e-mail from the network admins telling me I had put up a server in the official production domain and needed to take it down. Then off I went to MSDN to download Windows 2000 Workstation to comply with network policy only to be struck with a limited number of IIS concurrent users which I couldn't test against. Well it still beat using Personal Web Server. Ahh the memories of being an enterprise developer. =)
The days of having a separate IIS base between the client and server operating systems changed with Vista's release and we can now use our base dev boxes for running most of the server components. Funny when I think about how I'm running SQL Server 2008, the entire SQL Server BI Stack, IIS, Visual Studio and now Expression Studio on my little laptop.
I might just have to go for a bit more ram (all my laptops are still running 4 gigs) on the next upgrade. But then again as any dev knows nothing beats the raw power of a custom built desktop. I just happen to be running a freshly download Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on mine -Woot!
Don't forget while you're downloading the bits to stop on by the Windows Developers Center. Lots of details, documentation and examples on developing for Windows 7.
We are a web site design agency. I was wondering if IE7 would take more "juice" than usual requirements and if it was necessary to upgrade for our clients?
Obviously, we are all excited for this newer version because we feel IE6 didn't match our expectations.
I don't think you're alone when it comes to IE6. =) That version is now several years old and doesn't support any of the current web standards.
The browser that comes with Windows7 is Internet Explorer 8. It has numerous security and speed enhancements you can get more info about here http://microsoft.com/ie8. IE8 also comes out of the box in standards mode and can also be moved into IE7 compatability mode.

The guy in the white shirt and tats is hot. Does he shave his legs? Not a piece of hair on his legs. He was the better of the two boxers as well. Great Vid

One of my favorite vids. Boxing in the nude is far more interesting than the clothed sort. Turns me on just watching their soft cocks bounce up and down as they fight. Could watch this type of video all day.

OmniGraffle 5 adds automatic layout options
updated 08:05 pm EST, Wed March 5, 2008
OmniGraffle 5 released
The Omni Group today released OmniGraffle 5, an update to its diagramming and concept visualization software. OmniGraffle 5 boasts increased layout speed and new automatic layout options with the addition of the Graphviz layout engine. "Many of the standard OmniGraffle tools are more powerful, including the line tools which can now create B�zier curves, making drawing and connecting objects more flexible," the company said. The latest release also updates the toolbar for easy access to common text and object formatting options. OmniGraffle 5 is priced at $100, with upgrades from version 4 priced at $40. OmniGraffle 5 Professional is available for $200.
Members of OmniGraffle's online community who develop and share free stencils will find it easier to search, organize, and download stencils using the new local and online search capability in the stencil window. OmniGraffle 5 offers compatibility with Windows Vista, allowing users to import Microsoft Visio VSD files directly with continued support for import and export of Visio XML files as well as import of Visio stencils and templates.
Other new Professional edition features include subgraphs, which allow users to reduce sections of diagrams to a collapsed state for better management of complex documents. With the shared layers feature in OmniGraffle Professional 5, users can create common elements that are displayed across multiple canvases. The notes inspector now includes new fields for associating custom data values with objects in a diagram, and the data is available through both Applescript and the Spotlight search tool. OmniGraffle 5 also supports Mac OS X Leopard's new Quick Look preview feature, according to The Omni Group.

Top-ranked recipe named "Tuna Noodle Casserole (by Marianne Stanco Leal)"
from my dear Sister
"I have to say, I dreaded making this dish. I was making it because hubby loves his grandmother's run noodle. (I hate it!) He had
not had her's in years so I wanted to make him this.
I was shocked at how yummy it was! (much better than Gram's!) I ate 2 huge helpings and will be making it again! And yes, hubby loved it too! :D"
* Cook pasta noodles, then mix all ingredients (except bread crumbs and parmesan cheese) into a casserole dish.
* Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and finally parmesan cheese.
* Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

ldoolan 1 year agoA pretty standard tuna casserole.
SusanK8123 1 year agoQuick to make! I seasoned the mix with a little shrimp seasoning to give it a little kick. I also subbed in potatoe chips instead of the breadcrumbs (my husband has to have it this way!), very good. I think he had three helpings!
Lgrivett 1 year agoI prepared as written and it was bland and flavorless. We ended up dumping the entire casserole.

francesscott 2 years agosimple and super gooooood!!! :)
sharontea 2 years agoSo good! I used Greek Yogurt and Pepperjack Cheese only because I didn't have the other ingredients on hand, and it was delicious! Perfect mixture of crispy and creamy. I also made my own sourdough breadcrumbs. Something made this recipe an interesting touch of sweet :)
YCarter 2 years agoWould probably add peas and add more moisture by using cream of mushroom soup.
Mseudy 2 years agoDelicious! Next time I'll add peas.

Doctorjkl 2 years agoIf you're substituting cream of mushroom or cream of celery (or anything else for that matter) then you aren't making the same recipe, are you? This makes the ratings totally inaccurate.

Good but can be made better. Why can't you give us navigation. Again one problem i noticed is that in statistics there is no option for pause. If i stop my car to buy something and start back again after 10 min it will take as 0 km/hr for last ten min. Please give only ride averages.
Couldn't do anything I got nothing but messages telling me command were not available without GPS signal every other GPS relayed app was showing me my location.
Time Saver On the road , for work, different routes, changing destinations. This app has been saving me time for 5 years now.
I miss Trapster Trapster was a much better app and more accurate. Traffic accidents and construction areas are not listed, at least not for my area. Speed traps and checkpoints are not shown here either.
Amazing First trip. 150 miles. Pratically flawless. Just a question: how to report, for example, a wrong road works. Or a roadworks that isn't there anymore? Thanks for this great app. Camera alert work reallu well on background with google maps.edit: speed translation for miles to km is wrong. Please fix.
Back and how happy I am! Finally fixed the screwed up update. It's a great tool for truckers, now if they leave it alone! I'll never hit the update button AGAIN!

No prospective Republican presidential candidate has done more to highlight the issue of debt and deficits than Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. He calls it the "new red menace," an ocean of red ink that he says is every bit as dangerous as the Soviet nuclear threat during the Cold War.
His call to arms gives him a provocative though politically risky platform for a potential 2012 presidential candidacy. Daniels thinks dealing with the debt problem will require a potentially dramatic restructuring of Medicare for future recipients, revamping Medicaid to slow its spending, and altering Social Security for today's younger workers by raising the retirement age and recalculating the cost-of-living formula.

An inter-country comparison of unofficial payments: results of a health sector social audit in the Baltic States

Abstract Background Cross-country comparisons of unofficial payments in the health sector are sparse. In 2002 we conducted a social audit of the health sector of the three Baltic States. Methods Some 10,320 household interviews from a stratified, last-stage-random, sample of 30 clusters per country, together with institutional reviews, produced preliminary results. Separate focus groups of service users, nurses and doctors interpreted these findings. Stakeholder workshops in each country discussed the survey and focus group results. Results Nearly one half of the respondents did not consider unofficial payments to health workers to be corruption, yet one half (Estonia 43%, Latvia 45%, Lithuania 64%) thought the level of corruption in government health services was high. Very few (Estonia 1%, Latvia 3%, Lithuania 8%) admitted to making unofficial payments in their last contact with the services. Around 14% of household members across the three countries gave gifts in their last contact with government services. Conclusion This social audit allowed comparison of perceptions, attitudes and experience regarding unofficial payments in the health services of the three Baltic States. Estonia showed least corruption. Latvia was in the middle. Lithuania evidenced the most unofficial payments, the greatest mistrust towards the system. These findings can serve as a baseline for interventions, and to compare each country's approach to health service reform in relation to unofficial payments.

The Disabled Persons Action Organization is moving to step up its concert offerings so it can increase the seasons net profit to support programs and services for its 500 clients with developmental disabilities.
Timothy J. Dermady, DPAO corporate development director, said the 2013 summer concert series netted only $15,543, a $43,840 decrease from the 2012 season.
All concerts were good; we just didnt have the attendance, he said of the total 7,356 paid tickets across the four concerts.
Jack Hannas Into the Wild animal show May 25 brought in 2,300 people and netted $33,347, while the June 23 Rodney Atkins performance netted $18,051 after 2,142 people purchased tickets. The Aug. 9 KC and the Sunshine Band/ Village People performance brought in the concert series lowest attendance of paid ticket holders of 1,404, and it ended up costing DPAO $33,957. Just over 1,500 people paid to see Charley Pride perform Aug. 30; that concert ended up costing DPAO $1,898.
With KC, we just lost our shirts, Mr. Dermady said, as the $88,525 income didnt touch the $122,482 in expenses.
All four shows were held inside the Watertown Municipal Arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds, off Coffeen Street. Last year, two shows Blake Shelton and Journey were held outside. While the 2012 series brought in $59,383, that was $75,721 less than the 2011 series. Mr. Dermady said DPAO held all four shows indoors for the 2013 summer series to help have a bigger black line. Since that plan didnt work, the Davidson Street nonprofit will go back to at least one outdoor show, if not two, for the 2014 concert series.
The last two years weve made a little, but not near what wed like to make, he said.
The agency wont start planning for the next series until it sorts through data from about 3,000 surveys that were completed by members of the public in the past two weeks. Mr. Dermady said a few things were immediately apparent: peoples top concert choices are country and rock, and the next top performer theyd like to see is a comedian.
DPAO also has dealt with competition from local promoters, area casinos and even venues in Canada. Mr. Dermady said after the agency combs through survey results, DPAO will reach out to its agent and see what acts are available and willing to come to the north country.
To help with that process, and other future DPAO fundraisers, the agency recently incorporated a foundation. Former DPAO Executive Director and board member Joseph L. Rich will serve as president for one year, effective Jan. 1.
Our primary function is to assist DPAO, he said. Wed be the fundraising arm of DPAO.
Mr. Rich said the foundation was formed to formalize more fundraising opportunities. While the agency is known for its annual concert series, Mr. Rich said, other, smaller fundraisers also will take place, such as one possibly to raise funds to side the DPAO building, 617 Davidson St.
The biggest challenge with concerts, Mr. Rich said, is not having a large enough venue in the Watertown area that accommodates 5,000 to 6,000 people.

Erythritol has many great advantages: it does not make you fat, it does not cause tooth decay, it has no effect on the blood sugar and, unlike other sweeteners, it does not have a laxative effect. In Asia it is already widely used and it is becoming more and more common in other parts of the world too. Up until now, erythritol could only be produced with the help of special kinds of yeast in highly concentrated molasses. At the TU Vienna, a method has now been developed to produce the sweetener from ordinary straw with the help of a mould fungus. The experiments have been a big success, and now the procedure will be optimized for industry.
From Straw via Sugar to Erythritol
Straw is often considered to be worthless and is therfore burnt, but it can be a precious resource. Some of its chemical components can be made into valuable products. First, the finely chopped straw has to be "opened up": with the help of solvents, the cell walls are broken, the lignin is dissolved away. The remaining xylan and cellulose are then processed further.
"Usually the straw has to be treated with expensive enzymes to break it down into sugar", says Professor Robert Mach (Vienna University of Technology). "In highly concentrated molasses, special strains of yeast can then turn the sugar into erythritol, if they are placed under extreme osmotic stress."
Mould Fungus Makes Intermediate Step Obsolete
The enzymes opening up the straw can be obtained with the help of the mould fungus Trichoderma reesei. This kind of mould also plays the leading role in the new production process developed at the Vienna University of Technology.
Two big advantages have been achieved by genetically modifyin

Fire in Northern California allegedly set by marijuana farmer
REDDING, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire in Northern California that authorities say was sparked by exhaust from a truck prompted a new set of evacuations on Monday, as it continued to grow.
State fire spokeswoman Teresa Rea said she did not know how many homes were included in the new evacuation order around the fire in the rural community of Igo in Shasta County. Fire officials said the blaze, which started on Friday, was threatening 15 homes and 50 other structures after having destroyed eight homes and ten structures. It had burned through 4,400 acres, or nearly seven square miles, and was 15 percent contained.
Fire crews have been hampered by steep terrain and dry conditions. Temperatures were expected to climb to 108 degrees on Monday, Rea said. She said about 100 additional firefighters were called in overnight, bringing total personnel on the so-called Bully Fire to a little over 1,800.
"We have some very, very difficult conditions we're dealing with," Rea said.
A 27-year-old Sacramento man was arrested Saturday and accused of recklessly causing a fire and with marijuana cultivation, both felonies, according to the California Department of Fire and Forestry Protection.
The agency said Freddie Alexander Smoke III was delivering material to the pot site when the exhaust from his truck ignited dry grass.
Meanwhile, in Central California containment of a more than 2 and ½-square mile fire in the Sequoia National Forest increased to 60 percent.

moreThis book offers empirical analyses of conflicts over the ownership, control, and use of knowledge and information in developed and developing countries. Sebastian Haunss and Kenneth C. Shadlen, along with a collection of eminent contributors, focus on how business organizations, farmers, social movements, legal communities, state officials, transnational enterprises, and international organizations shape policies in areas such as health, information-communication technologies, indigenous knowledge, genetic resources, and many others. The innovative and original chapters examine conflicts over the rules governing various dimensions of IP, including patents, copyrights, traditional knowledge, and biosafety regulations. Written from a political perspective, this timely book will be a must-read for political scientists, sociologists and anthropologists who study IP and conflicts over property. It will also prove a fascinating read for NGOs interested in knowledge governance. less
