To the Editor:
A May 6 news article describing the adverse effects that cuts in Medicare reimbursement appear to be inflicting on teaching hospitals overlooks another ominous consequence of the declining financial state of these teaching hospitals: the loss of academic leadership.
Chairmanships in academic medical departments used to be sought-after positions that gave doctors resources to build strong clinical and innovative research programs. The current job of chairman is to receive bad news from the dean and to transmit it to the faculty. As a result, chairmanships are no longer viewed as desirable positions. In fact, about a quarter of the surgical chairmanships in the United States are vacant.
St. Louis, May 6, 1999
The writer is a professor of surgery, Washington University School of Medicine.

Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors (BIPVT)
Main content
Category | Building / Urban |
Duration | 2016 – 2017 |
Funding | ETH Zurich Foundation, Energy Fund |
Key Partners | Flisom |
A/S Team | I. Hischier, J. Hofer, A. Schlueter |
Integrating solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic (PV) modules into the building envelope plays a key role for the contemporary goal of constructing net-zero and plus-energy buildings. To maximize the energy harvest from the limited amount of surfaces suitable for solar application, PV-thermal (PVT) hybrid collectors have been proposed. These co-generating devices use the incident solar radiation more efficiently by cooling the solar cells with a stream of air or water which simultaneously improves the electricity yield and provides heat for domestic hot water generation and space heating. Currently, the number of commercially available PVT systems is still very limited. Existing PVT collectors are heavy, require complicated installations limiting their applicability, and are more expensive than using both a conventional PV panel and a thermal collector to achieve the same performance.
The goal of the BIPVT project is to integrate aluminum roll-bond solar collectors with Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells in a novel PVT solar collector. The combination of these two emerging, high-potential technologies is expected to result in a new type of lightweight, highly efficient PVT collector with significant savings in cost and material use. Ultimately, a bendable collector design is envisioned which can be tailored to curved surfaces. The flexibility will open up new and versatile application possibilities for building integration well beyond the capabilities of today's conventional systems.
CIGS solar cells exhibit a very high absorption for the entire solar spectrum and a relatively high temperature dependence of power production, which make them particularly promising for integration into a hybrid PV solar thermal collector system. Thin film solar cells based on CIGS reach efficiencies exceeding 20% and perform better than crystalline silicon cells in low-light and shading conditions. Moreover, the flexibility and low weight of the modules makes it particularly suited for BIPVT application. Thin-film CIGS modules can be produced at low cost and are environmentally less critical than other PV technologies as less primary energy and no cadmium is required during production.
Aluminum roll-bond solar thermal collectors achieve higher performance at lower cost compared to standard flat plate solar collectors. Roll-bond absorbers directly integrate liquid channels in the absorber plate and the fabrication process allows customizing channel design to achieve optimal heat transfer and homogeneous temperature distribution, which is important for minimization of mismatch losses in the PV modules.
Task 1 – System modeling and design
A conjugate heat transfer (CFD) simulation will be set up to analyze heat and mass transfer and to study influence of pressure drop and thermal resistance on system efficiency. Different lamination/bonding processes, material structures, channel geometries/topology and PV cell arrangements will be investigated. The results will be integrated into a system simulation to identify optimal operating conditions of the PVT collector and ensure an integrated system design.
Task 2 – Fabrication and Characterization
A lab scale PVT module will be assembled and experimentally characterized to validate the previously developed numerical model. The characterization includes measurements of the thermal and electrical performance for different module designs and operating conditions. Finally, an optimized full-scale demo system will be installed on the research and innovation unit NEST HiLO (http://hilo.arch.ethz.ch/).

At code4lib 2008 we will be giving a pre-conference session on Evergreen. This is what we're planning on doing; hopefully it will be useful material for future workshops.
To avoid any heartache associated with conflicting packages, etc., we have asked participants to bring a laptop with a bootable image or VMWare image (running Debian Etch 4.0 or Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10) dedicated to Evergreen.
To avoid relying on the network for downloading packages, we have also asked participants to install the prerequisites ahead of time using the Makefile.install prereq installer.
We'll bring CDs with copies of the OpenSRF and Evergreen tarballs in case the network gods are angry.
As we go through each of the following phases, we provide commentary that explains a little bit more about what's going on, how a given piece fits into the overall system, and what's happening in trunk to make things easier / better / faster / stronger.
We've made a copy of the installation presentation available in OpenOffice Impress and PDF format.
Who | What |
Dan | |
Dan | Burn CDs with tarballs and MARC data and script |
Dan has made 500 bib records in MARC21XML format from Laurentian available for download from the Evergreen downloads page at http://open-ils.org/~denials/import_demo.tar.gz (including a README, some custom scripts, and the current trunk versions of marc2bre.pl, direct_ingest.pl, and parallel_pg_loader.pl).
and change directories:tar xzf import_demo.tar.gz cd import_demo
# Ensure that the database name, user name, and password at the top of the script # match your settings before running this script: sh import_bibs.sh
# Syntax: psql -U <username> -f pg_loader-output.sql <database> psql -U evergreen -f pg_loader-output.sql evergreen
psql -U evergreen -f quick_metarecord_map.sql evergreen
to generate a file called insert_holdings.sql
. parse_holdings.pl
is just a basic script Dan wrote to extract the holdings into plain-jane SQL for the staging table import (PostgreSQL COPY format could be used but we might as well keep it simple for those not used to PostgreSQL).perl parse_holdings.pl
Take a look at the output of parse_holdings.sh
– a file named insert_holdings.sql
. It's just a bunch of INSERT statements with the relevant copy attributes - and should be easy to create something similar from your own ILS holdings information.
psql -U evergreen -f import_staging_table.sql evergreen
psql -U evergreen -f insert_holdings.sql evergreen
psql -U evergreen -f generate_copies.sql evergreen
Murph might be able to step in here and walk through a few interesting parts of the staff client.
email account./openils/var/circ/*
Now that we have real live holdings in our system, we can do fun things with the catalog.
Let's use the existing advocacy script and pick some interesting things to point out - shelf browsing, etc.
Talk a little bit about how this is put together: HTML and JavaScript and calls back to OpenSRF services.
We'll borrow from the OPAC customization documentation - thanks Karen!
Patrons often forget passwords. Heck, I often forget passwords. The Evergreen catalog currently doesn't give you the ability to reset your password. We'll add that feature in front of a live audience.
and call the variable instead.The Perl and Javascript code are "quick and dirty" snippets. They are meant to be examples of functional code, by some definition, but not good code.

"I wanted to take a moment to provide feedback from the audit that was done of Rinchem's delivery procedures. Rinchem employees did a rock solid job and did not miss one step. I would like to thank you for having employees who consistently follow procedures and always keep safety in mind."
Rinchem Company, Inc. warehouses or handles a very large quantity of high-purity, pre-packaged chemicals and gases used by semiconductor manufacturers in the United States. Rinchem also provides total management of chemical logistics related activity for a select number of fabrication facilities located in Europe and the Middle East.
As process technologies continue to shrink within the semiconductor industry, chemical temperature and storage specifications have become more and more stringent. Improper storage or handling that contaminates these chemicals in any way can potentially cause a substantial reduction in production yield, and an increase in costs.
Rinchem possesses the knowledge and experience to safely and properly manage chemicals and gases so that semiconductor companies can spend more time and resources focusing upon their core competencies. Rinchem's ability to conduct some aspects of handling in a clean room environment ensures that unwanted dust or particles will not contaminate the high-purity chemicals that are used in the semiconductor manufacturing process.
Because Rinchem has already established supply lines from most major semiconductor chemical and gas manufacturers and has facilities near most major areas of manufacturing, our logistics network aligns very well with those who wish to purchase logistics services within this industry.
Transportation load consolidation opportunities and warehousing economies of scale, as well as the ability to provide combined, just-in-time fab deliveries on a daily basis make Rinchem an excellent fit for producers or consumers of semiconductor chemicals who want to improve efficiencies and service levels, while reducing the risks and costs associated with semiconductor chemical management.

Sweet Potato Muffins
Recipe by maryL in Canada
This is very easy and the presentation is great for the Holidays.
Top Review by tina
This didn't turn out like I thought they would. They came out as hard and dense as a brick. The flavor was savory - not sweet, which is why I think the previous reviewer added coconut and frosting. I would not make them again - they were extremely dense and heavy and didn't taste good.

BRIEF-Yume No Machi Souzou Iinkai's sales apparently grew 20 pct in six months through Feb - Nikkei
* Yume No Machi Souzou Iinkai likely saw operating profit soar 64% to around 350 million yen ($3.17 million) in six months through Feb - Nikkei
* Dollar rises against euro as investors shun risk * World Bank cuts East Asia/Pacific forecast, warns about China * Oil prices down for a second day * Cocoa hits 2-month low, arabica coffee 1-month bottom * Twelve of 19 markets on CRB slip By Barani Krishnan NEW YORK, Oct 8 Oil closed down for a second straight day on Monday and prices of soft commodities such as sugar and cocoa fell after the dollar rebounded on worries over the global economy, weighing on raw materials denominated in the currency. The World Bank cut its economic growth forecasts for the East Asia and Pacific region on Monday and said there was a risk the slowdown in China could worsen and last longer than many analysts have forecast. In Europe, investors were worried about when Spain will request for aid as it struggles to manage its public finances and recapitalize banks. Benchmark Brent crude in London fell about 0.7 percent over the last two sessions as the dollar <.DXY > strengthened from a two-week low against the euro. Cocoa hit a two-month low and arabica coffee a one-month bottom. Gold extended its losses from the previous session to mark the largest two-day drop since August. "We're in a risk off day," said BNP Paribas metals analyst Stephen Briggs. Twelve of the 19 commodities tracked by the Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index showed losses, with copper, aluminium, gasoline, silver and orange juice all sliding by more than 1 percent. Oil prices fell on concerns that slower economic growth in China and the debt crisis in Europe will curb demand for petroleum, while the potential for Middle East turmoil to disrupt supplies limited losses. "The situation between Turkey and Syria and some German export data that was unexpectedly supportive helped pull prices off lows," said Phil Flynn, analyst at Chicago's Price Futures Group. Brent settled down 20 cents, or 0.2 percent, at $111.82 a barrel, after falling to a session low of $110.54. U.S. crude oil's front-month contract finished down 55 cents or 0.6 percent, at $89.33 a barrel. New York-traded cocoa futures came under pressure from sterling's weakness against the dollar. Prospects for the success of sector reforms in top cocoa grower Ivory Coast and weak European demand ahead of third-quarter European grind figures due later this month kept the market's downtrend intact. "The grind is weighing on the market a tad," a London-based cocoa futures broker said. U.S. cocoa for December delivery closed down $1 at $2,381 per tonne, the lowest settlement since Aug. 2, and remaining just above the 100-day moving average of $2,357. The spot price of gold was down about 0.4 percent, hovering around $1,776 an ounce by 2000 GMT and extending Friday's 0.5 percent drop. The near 1-percent decline since Thursday's settlement is the sharpest decline for spot gold over a two-day period since August, Thomson Reuters data showed.

DH smacked his friends wifes bum.
(120 Posts)We were in a crowded pub last night and his friends wife pushed passed him on her way to the loo, he then smacked her firmly on her bum. I saw this and I was sitting a few tables away. I was fuming and I didn't want to make a scene and gave him a filthy look. Half an hour later we left.
I told him (shouted) I was shocked and upset. He apololgised but thinks I am over reacting. I told him it was completely inappropriate behaviour for a married man and I would have been upset if a male friend did that to me too. He replied, " It's only J for heavens sake."
I am sure as anyone can be that he wouldn't cheat on me but I think that flirty behaviour is wrong and I am upsest. Do you think I am being unreasonable about it?
My BIL does it to me. I don't like it.
I don't understand why he does it.
I might kick him in the balls next time
Both DH and I are bum smackers, but only to friends who are also the same way inclined
But if it's something that bothers you, then your DH should not do it, or argue once you've told him you're upset.
I spoke to DH and in our group of friends it would be more likely for DH to slap the husbands arse!
I really wouldn't be cool with him slapping my best friends backside. To me it would be like groping her tits or me grabbing her husbands dick.
(Just to reiterate, to ME it would be the same, not saying it would be for everyone.)
i would say it depends on the dynamics of the friendship. It wouldn't bother me with someone DP knew really well. i would do it to some of my male friends and not others.
YANBU. That is intruding on someone's personal space to an unacceptable degree, even if she finds it sexy or flirty when her own partner does it it's not okay for a married man to do it.
If my H did this, I would be livid.
Given that the OP says the first incident was 20 or so years ago, it's probably reasonable the her DH had forgotten all about the row after the first incident. But she's still not unreasonable to be annoyed that he did it (especially if the woman whose arse he slapped wasn't impressed). He should definitely have apologised. First to the woman and then to the OP for embarrassing her.
Some people do have very odd ideas about personal boundaries though. I was in a John Lewis cafe once with DH and the kids. We were getting ready to go. I was standing putting on my scarf and DH was herding the kids away from the table. Some totally random man put his hands on my waist as he squeezed through the gap between tables. I nearly jumped out of my skin and must have looked totally mortified. I didn't say anything to DH because I didn't want to cause a scene. But, in hindsight, I probably should have caused a scene. I just can't understand how anyone could think that was alright, but clearly that man felt it was ok (or perhaps that he is entitled to touch any women any way he pleases). Horrible.
I've also had my arse grabbed by strange, letcherous men as I tried to walk through a crowded pub to go to the toilet. I was not impressed and got the bouncers to chuck the bastard out.
That said, I can see how it's fine within the boundaries of some personal relationships. I'm just not sure how you ever get to the point of knowing its fine to slap someone's arse (when you're not in a sexual relationship with them).
I was just countering the argument that the benefit of hindsight would stop him next time.
He had the benefit of hindsight this time and it didn't help.
I didn't say she should LTB, just that I would be beyond embarrassed if my husband behaved in this way.
I wouldn't be best pleased tbh.
It's sleazy.
I think it completely depends on the context and the friendship. I have a group of very close friends I share with my dp and none of us are adverse to a cheeky slap on the arse
Sleigh - "he still did it again". TWENTY YEARS LATER!! We're not talking regular occurrence here. You'd probably advocate leaving the bastard if he left the toilet set up again when it was the first time he'd done it in 20 years.
"Sleigh - really? I know what the boundaries are with my friends."
You (think) you know what the boundaries are with your friends, but you can't seriously be arguing that everyone does, or that those boundaries are never overstepped?
I'm sure most of us have met more than one individual in our lives that either don't understand or don't respect expected social boundaries.
"With benefit of hindsight I suspect he wouldn't do it again."
You suspect wrong.
Even with the benefit of hindsight of the row he caused last time he did this, he still did it again.
OP, YANBU because that is the relationship you have with your DH I cannot argue, however I personally would not be offended if I had been the friend's wife.
I wouldn't consider that act, in those circumstances, to be "sexual assault."
I would have smacked his face, or better still thrown my drink at his groin so it looked like he'd had a slight accident. That's a reasonable response IMO.
My sister laughs.
It's a long running joke.
She does it to him too.
Yeah, bit of a twattish thing to do, and he probably knows it. He knows you didn't like it. With benefit of hindsight I suspect he wouldn't do it again.
Now let it go.
Does he not realise that there are parts of other peoples bodies that it's just not appropriate to touch, unless you have to.
So would I donnie. My friend has more restraint than I do!
Also that so many think it's ok.
I would be fuming, shocked and humiliated if somebody did that to me. I can't imagine in a million years my DH would ever do anything like that, I would be speechless if he did. Maybe that's just my social circle though.
if a 'friend' of my dh slapped my arse I would punch him in the face. Truly.
It is not a respectful act and it does have a sexual connotation.
Otherwise men would be happily slapping each others' bum firmly to show that they are friendly.
I can understand why you're upset OP, especially if it's happened before.
My DH got drunk once and smacked my friend's arse. She gave him a proper telling off, and told me about it later. I was mortified, and so was he - he realised he'd been hugely inappropriate. He's never done anything like it again.
Sleigh - really? I know what the boundaries are with my friends.
"we're talking about friends who have known each other (presumably) for some time and know what boundaries there are."
Sorry, but that doesn't follow.
People can be friends for a long time (do we even know how long this man has been friends with the husband of the woman he smacked?) and not understand boundaries.
Women, in particular, often feel under a lot of pressure not to complain about this kind of boundary crossing.
Because it is apparently "just a joke", women are not allowed to complain.
A lot of sexual assault goes on under the "it's only a bit if a laugh" cloak.
diddl - I'm making no excuses. But I'd say more affairs go on in the theatre than in other work places. The close proximity of actors out on the road and being away from partners for weeks, often months on end, happens a heck of a lot. I am not saying this is right, of course, just an observation. These women I mentioned earlier who happily shove blokes' faces in their cleavage - no one bats an eyelid in the theatre but they damn well would in an office or school or middle of Tesco!
"Several of them took the opportunity throughout the run at this point to pinch my bum - the audience couldn't see it, but they felt it was "in character" to do so. I should obviously have them all arrested for sexual assault."
That sounds very unpleasant.
I'm sure you don't feel able to make a complaint of sexual harassment, but that is certainly what it was.

Thrush Turbo vs Hush Thrush vs Dynomax Super Turbos
I'm in the process of building a typical 70's style street machine out of a '73 Chevy Nova. That means raked stance, slot mags etc. etc. I want to put on side exit exhaust and the current Flowmasters are all wrong for the 70's vibe. I need a little sound control so glasspacks are probably out. What is the difference between the three Walker-made (Thrush/Dynomax) mufflers in the title? I've had standard Thrush Turbos before and they were waaaay too quiet. So is the newly remade Hush Thrush louder than the standard Thrush Turbo? The Hush Thrush internally looks alot like the Dynomax Super Turbo but without the flow directors at the end of the case.
Cherry Bomb Turbo IIs were also a decent mufflers but it looks like they are no longer available. Cherry Bomb is remaking their original Turbo mufflers but they are larger in case size and I worry they might be too quiet like the standard Thrush Turbos. Any thoughts?
Sponsored Links | |||
Check these guys out, my neighbor has these mufflers on his 40 Ford with a SBC, tough sounds! http://www.holley.com/types/Purple%20Hornies.asp
here them here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc1wo...eature=related I want them on my coupe but I'll have to wait a few years.....
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain |
Classic Chambered mufflers!
Get longer ones to be quieter, shorter ones for louder. If you have a F-body, there's whole freekin kits too. Same as what's on the Berger Camaros (and others). GMMG |
Honestly, I would love chambered pipes but they are a bit pricey. I may have to save up. I used to be a state inspection mechanic at a resto shop that did mostly muscle cars and vettes. I got to inspect a sidepipe equipped mid-year vettes at least once a month and sure loved that sound!
The difference
So here's a run down for Walker's three(4?) performance turbo mufflers:
- Thrush Turbos have two flow tubes and no fiberglass insulation - Thrush Mad Hots/Hush Thrushes(same minus paint) have three flow tubes and insulation - Dynomax Super Turbos have flow directors, three flow tubes, and insulation That's my $.02, Brad |
Thanks man!
Glass pack header mufflers are what folks were using then, Cherry Bombs, Thrush and Purple Hornies. |
make sure your state doesn't REQUIRE the exhaust pipe go passed the cabin, or the side exit will be a fail.. even if a shop ok's it.. all it'll take is one trooper to question it. and the shop loose it's lic. side pipes on vettes get a pass as they where a factory option at somepoint.. and if you look exit at end of cabin.. unlike your 73 nova.. good luck. REMEMBEr no one was running 3" pipe in the 70's on the street, other than street racers if they ran ny pipe.. glasspacks are not all that loud (persay) when 2.25' pipe is used.. iirc my buddies car the longer the g/p the deeper the tone got, but it got somewhat quite(compaired to most 15" g/p's ) so he went to 2.50" pipe and same lenth glasspack and got the loudness and deep tone.. think his were either 18 or 20/22" long he just added lenth to the 15" one and filled it, they are not that hard to make.. |
I've used the dynomax a lot. As for being too quite, if you're going to be running cats in ffront of the mufflers they all are going to be more mellow. One my work truck I have dynomax with cats and if I have to leave the house at 5am or return long after the kiddies go to bed I can do so without disturbing the neighbors but still give a nice tone when you're on the throttle. I've had the on cars without cats and they are a bit louder but not too much. To my ears the thrush turbos just sound cheap and nasty. It's not about the noise level just don't like the sound. I'd rather hear a set of glass packs.
While glasspacks (Thrush, Cherry Bombs, Sweet Talkin Purple Hornies, Arvin Speed Pacs, Street Sneakers, etcs.) were certainly the most common performance muffler back then, there were quieter options. Corvair turbo mufflers, Hemi mufflers and even big Cadillac mufflers were used for more of a sleeper vibe.
Back in the day 1971, I was running a 383 GTS dart, I had purple hornies on the headers and didn`t like the sound, working part time for International Harvester, parts delivery, I was delivering bunch of exhaust to a truck repair shop, while unloading them I looked at the muffler real good, 2.5 inlet and outlet, steel baffled no packing, I bought my own the next day, after install and fire up, they sounded exactly like the flowmasters today only not quite so harsh, possibly a little longer in length, by about two months later they were on back order for sixty, everybody in the Sacramento area wanted them, it was not long after say in the late seventies Flow master started here in West Sacramento.

Former Colts wide receiver and returns specialist Brad Pyatt will call St. Louis his home for the 2006 season.
Pyatt, who was a restricted free agent, was the only Colt who didn't receive a contract tender this year. As a result, he became an unrestricted free agent, able to sign with any team.
Pyatt landed two opportunities to choose from. He reportedly impressed the Steelers by running a 4.5 forty-yard dash earlier this week. And then he followed that up with a 4.47 time in front of the Rams.
According to ESPN.com, Pyatt agreed to a one-year, $432,500 contract that included a $7,500 signing bonus. He took that deal instead of a two-year offer from the Steelers.
Pyatt made 16 game appearances for the Colts over three seasons, but consistently battled injury problems. He was placed on injured reserve on September 3rd last year, missing the entire 2005 season with a shoulder injury. Pyatt has a career kickoff return average of 26.7 yards.

LaCroix Sparkling Water has catapulted from near-oblivion to cult status in the matter of a couple of years.
The drink has been around for three decades, but for a long time it was popular only among a handful of Midwestern moms, Vox reports.
Then a paradigm shift happened in Americans' diet: The US started turning against sugar, and soda sales plummeted.
That's when LaCroix, which contains no sugar, sodium, or artificial sweeteners, suddenly started popping up everywhere.
Sales of the carbonated drink have ballooned from $65 million in 2010 to $226 million in 2015, according to data from Euromonitor. Over the same time period, shares of the brand's parent company, National Beverage Corp., have soared nearly 300% to $57 a share.
LaCroix is now the No. 1 brand of flavored bottled water in the US, with about a quarter of the market share in that category.
LaCroix's meteoric rise happened without any traditional advertising, which one beverage-industry expert says is part of the reason it became so popular.
"With millennials these days, it's all about authenticity and discovery, and they are suspicious of mainstream advertising messages," Duane Stanford, the editor of the industry publication Beverage Digest, told Business Insider.
LaCroix played right into that market by sidestepping major advertising avenues like TV ads and investing instead in social-media marketing and neon-colored packaging that would grab customers' attention in stores.
see [LaCroix] as a
discovery — something only they know about and their friends know
about since it's not in their face all the time," Stanford
It's more than just a favorite drink, though: LaCroix has become a status symbol.
That is because instead of spending on major advertising campaigns, LaCroix paid influential bloggers and fitness icons to fawn over the drink on social media, according to Vox.
At the same time, LaCroix started adding new flavors. The brand offers about 20 different kinds — up from the six it offered 10 years ago — including coconut, apricot, passion fruit, mango, pamplemousse, berry, and cerise limón.
Now the neon cans are popping up all over Instagram, filling refrigerators top to bottom, making appearances at weddings, and accenting countless homemade salads.
The drink was also the subject of a New York Times Magazine love letter last year and of viral news features like BuzzFeed's "21 Things Everyone Obsessed With LaCroix Knows To Be True."
Only a handful of random flavors are available at each retailer that sells LaCroix, so it creates the perception of scarcity. As a result, customers tend to buy their favorite flavors in bulk.
The strategy has clearly been successful. In the past two years alone, sales of LaCroix have more than doubled.

Would you like the design? Looks refreshingly different though. You can paste in this thread whenever you stumble upon any rumored designs
Prepare to be flamed. Why in the world would u make the icons circular in shape?!!!!!! And yea, it looks like all u did was photo shop some weird user interface onto a Nokia lumia. But if this is your first time making an attempt at something like this because you were curious, GREAT JOB!! But keep practicing.
Is there still room to keep same design and keep up to people's expectations of a groundbreaking iPhone evolution in the midst of overwhelming competition?
The problem is that some people are looking for another 07 when the iPhone was first introduced. They miss that jaw dropping, wow factor excitement that went along with it. And every time rumors start popping up about the next iPhone, I see a ton of crazy wants & expectations. And then when they don't happen, everyone cries and says apple is terrible. But the truth is..Those days are over for now. The cell phone industry is going to stay right where it is, right now, for at least another decade. There will be innovations along the way, but nothing like in 07. Look at televisions..Remember back when flat panels started to come out? I remember staring at a $8000, 40" plasma and being totally blown away. It was a HUGE revolution. But look now All these years later. Yes they have gotten thinner and prettier. But the overall design hasn't changed all that much. And it's still going to be a LONG while before we have a revolution in TVs like we did when the flat panel was first introduced. Kinda the same thing with smartphones. They will get better and they will get faster. Displays will get crisper, cameras will get sharper, glass will get stronger. etc, etc. Design will also change along the way as well. But only slightly. So get used to it. If you're bored with the design at this point, you're in big trouble. The software side is where you're going to see the big innovation for the next couple years.
I think it is funny when looking at concept models because the majority of them cannot even be made due to limitations on the manufacturing process.
I rather suspect that many have been fooled by the rise of the smartphone, and just a few years later the rise of the tablet, into thinking that such events are normal. They will be so disappointed.
I think wearable computing devices (glasses, watches, etc) will gain some popularity in the coming years, but I agree for the most part.

I get this error: This happens when I start my SQL 2008 Agent job that I created. The job is owned by my domain account, I have full sysadmin rights on the SQL 08 install. This is running on my local machine (for dev/testing). There is 1 step which runs a PowerShell script:
It runs as a proxy account. This proxy account is allowed to use the PowerShell subsystem only and as my domain account is part of sysadmin I have not assigned it to the proxy account principals list. The proxy account uses a credential that is just my own domain account. If I use the SQL Agent account to run the script the job does NOT fail, but the script itself cannot execute and returns the error: Which is why I assigned a proxy to run, a proxy that has access to that part of the network for testing. Suggestions on how I can correct this? I've seen pages that say this error may be due to the service account not being enabled for delegation. Could that be the cause of this problem? I am not familiar with the details of delegation so if that is the reason behind it a brief explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Based on the URL you are attempting to access an administrative share on the server. Try creating a non-administrative share and assign it permissions for your SQL Agent ID and/or Proxy account then try again.

The URL was part of the issue and it turns out that I had the SA account disabled and it appears that needs to be enabled for mixed auth to work. After doing that it seemed to work properly.

By now your 2009 budget should be nearly complete — how does it look? Are you making the money you, as owner, need to make? Are you protecting the company's future by building in sufficient net profit (after your salary) to build up the cash account for the difficult months ahead? Or do you still need to make some cuts so that all the numbers come out right?
Let's figure out where some of the greatest cost savings might be by drilling down into fixed and variable costs, looking for those changes that are relatively easy to make.
Fixed vs. Variable Costs
Fixed costs will be relatively stable throughout the next year. You're probably already pretty sure, for example, what your office expenses will be. There might be some savings in heating and cooling costs, depending on how energy prices fluctuate, and you may need to adjust behavior to keep costs in line. And you can keep office supply and telephone expenses under control through careful purchasing. Beyond that, if you still need to cut, you might consider moving the office back into your home, which many people are doing.
Variable costs change in two ways: either with the amount of work being done on the jobs (these costs are all included in Cost of Goods Sold or COGS — see Benchmark, February 2008) or with changes to the way the company operates, expenses for which show up in overhead (see Benchmark, March 2008).
Because COGS makes up between 60% and 75% of all costs incurred by a remodeling company, this is the first place to start digging. Good estimating is essential for cost control, but to move beyond that to cost cutting requires a closer look.
Materials. Here are three high-impact ways to reduce materials expenses:
Reduce trips to the lumberyard. Use a 2-week/1-week/2-day look-ahead process that identifies what's needed on site. Order on Friday for Monday delivery.
Measure twice, cut once. Train field employees and estimators to be precise in all measurements, whether with as-builts, door and window openings, or trim cuts. The savings in reduced waste alone can account for 1% of total costs or more.
Track expensive items. Develop a purchase order system for special-order materials, including lumber, plumbing and electrical fixtures, and doors and windows. These should require signoff by both your company representative and the supplier. Cross-reference prices against the original PO upon receipt, but don't substitute quality for price. Your company sells quality, and now is not the time to accept second best.
Trades. Negotiate with trade contractors to get the best price in exchange for continued work and prompt payment. Then develop a PO system for their contract price to control against missed or unauthorized change orders.
Labor. This is both the most difficult and the easiest place to cut some expense. The hard part is cutting personnel, particularly if everyone is a good producer. In fact, because your field people produce the work, cutting field positions is not necessarily the first place to look. Instead, try asking your employees how each of them could reduce the total cost to the company in the short run. Switching to four-day weeks, for example, will save on set-up and clean-up costs; switching to biweekly payroll will reduce office overhead. By asking for suggestions, you not only achieve buy-in from everyone, but sharing the load ensures that the good people you want to keep will be there when the inevitable rebound occurs.
The easier labor cuts are on the benefits side. Use this Labor Burden Calculator to help you through some scenarios that reduce overall labor costs.
Other. This category includes such expenses as permits and fees related to the project. Most of these cannot be reduced, but be sure to charge the client for all contractually defined expenses.
Still need to shave a few more percentage points from your budget? Next month we'll look at overhead costs. We'll beat this yet!

Cornell shows its strength
JACKSONVILLE , Fla. – Ryan Wittman's first 3-pointer of the second half gave upset-minded Cornell an 11-point lead. His second – a possession later – upped the margin to 12.
For a split second, Wittman looked a little satisfied, maybe sensing the upset was near. But it was hardly time to celebrate.
"We probably would have been more excited if we were getting stops at the same time," Wittman said.
Before long, Temple had scored on six consecutive possessions to cut the lead to six. The Owls appeared to be on the verge of following a time-honored NCAA tournament script for high-seeded teams: Wake up then put down a hungry mid-major.
Wittman and his teammates wouldn't stand for it. His third 3-pointer started an 18-6 run that helped No. 12 seeded Cornell roll to a surprisingly easy 78-65 victory in a first-round game in the East Region.
Cornell will meet No. 4 seeded Wisconsin in the second round Sunday.
Even though Temple heated up, Cornell never relented. This wasn't a mid-major that just scraped by a top-20 team. The Big Red controlled the game from start to finish.
Wittman and his teammates looked like a team having fun in this first-round win over the Owls, but they didn't forget that playing angry will lead them to NCAA tournament wins.
"The last two years we were happy to be in the tournament," Cornell point guard Louis Dale said. "This time we had an edge."
Cornell gave the Ivy League its first NCAA tournament victory since 1998 when fifth-seeded Princeton beat 12th-seeded UNLV. The Big Red also gave the conference its first NCAA tourney upset since 1996.
The next question is how far Cornell can advance. The win over Temple was that convincing.
The Owls are one of the best defensive teams in the country, holding opponents to 37.9 percent shooting from the field and 28.1 percent from 3-pointers. Cornell didn't seem to mind. The Big Red shot 56.3 percent against Temple.
In the first half, when Cornell couldn't hit a 3-pointer, it missed only one shot inside the arc.
Cornell coach Steve Donahue, an assistant for Temple coach Fran Dunphy for 10 seasons at Penn, knew Dunphy normally wouldn't change his defense on a whim. But Dunphy didn't have much of a choice after halftime. He tried look after look to slow down Cornell.
"We're a tough team to do that against, and he knows that," Donahue said. "I think he thought they needed to try something."
Cornell might not be here if not for Dunphy and Donahue's former employer, Penn. The 6-22 Ivy League team upset Cornell 79-64 on Feb. 12 for the Big Red's first conference loss.
Suddenly, the same team that almost beat Kansas trailed Princeton by a game in the Ivy League standings. The quick turnaround – Ivy League teams play conference games on Fridays and Saturdays – and the absence of a conference tournament erased just about any margin for error for Cornell.
"From that point on, we developed a competitive anger against our competition," Donahue said. "Sometimes this group can be too nice. Against a team like Temple you've got to play with a competitive anger."
Cornell won at Princeton 48-45.
Like the Big Red's first-round opponent, Princeton prefers to slow the game to a grinding pace. Cornell didn't lose another league game on the way to the title.
"That was dire straits, that Princeton game. We gutted it out, and I think it turned our season around," Donahue said. "If we didn't lose to Penn, I don't think we would have won the next night because we didn't learn our lesson … and I don't know if we get to this point."
For the next 48 hours, Cornell will be one of the darlings in this year's tournament. The Big Red will hear its share of feel-good stories about the Ivy League, about their team chemistry and the players other schools ignored.
Their anger, however, may be why they're still playing.

Health care jobs are not just for job seekers with medical degrees. In fact, a master's of business administration degree (MBA) is often required for jobs in health care, including a variety of careers ranging from administration to project management.
Other People Are Reading
Health Services Manager
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that medical and health services manager careers have a positive job outlook in the coming years. Because managing health services requires project management and management skills, a MBA is usually needed for these positions. The BLS describes health care practice managers as someone who will "plan, direct, coordinate and supervise the delivery of health care." Some job duties may include overseeing patient records, establishing and applying hospital policies, deliver reports, plan budgets or prepare business strategies.
Health Informatics Management
Companies in the health care industry need MBA graduates to fill business communications positions, such as a director of informatics. An informatics career involves guiding staff members in communicating health care IT system needs, identifying technology cost improvement and researching new health care technology for the company. Your background in business administration aids quality improvement efforts and project management, as well as help support the company's efficiency.
Director of Health and Wellness
Insurance companies employ MBA graduates for health and wellness divisions to manage and promote the insurance company's services by encouraging health, fitness and well-being for insurance customers. Directors of health and wellness also supervise overall costs, quality improvements and direct affiliations and partnerships with consumers, employees and outside organisations that endorse a healthy lifestyle.
Hospital Administration
A career in hospital administration offers an assortment of jobs, but most focus on running a hospital's finances, personnel and quality assurance efforts. Depending on the size and location of the hospital, daily tasks can range from directing medical activities to instituting daily procedures. Typically, hospital administrators report to a board of directors or a chief financial officer. Smaller medical offices may hire administrators to oversee business operations so they can focus on treating patients.
Pharmaceuticals Project Manager
Pharmaceutical sales and management jobs focus on marketing of pharmaceuticals, increasing sales, regulation of medicines and managing sales teams. Because MBA coursework focuses on financial analysis, management techniques and team and employee behaviour, job seekers with this degree will find their business skills put to use in pharmaceutical management.

After all this talk about the Galaxy S7, Samsung's other Korean competitor LG is expected to launch their LG G5 flagship smartphone next year. Rumours for the LG G5 have already begun and they're quite interesting.
A source familiar with the matter revealed to Venture Beat what the LG G5 will feature. First off, the G5 will include two displays, a 5.3-inch QHD display and a smaller second screen similar to the one found on the LG V10. There will be not one but two rear cameras, one of which is 16MP and the other allows for wide angle shots (135 degrees).
The previously rumoured fingerprint sensor and Snadpragon 820 SoC and 3GB of RAM are also present but no word on whether it includes a microSD card slot.
The phone will also feature something called (for now) a "Magic Slot" which might allow for connectivity with external cameras, audio amps and even external keyboards. The release date is still unknown but as with every other device in history, more will soon follow.

Release Date: 2011 | Tracklist
Album Rating: 3.5My second review, feedback would be appreciated.
Album Rating: 2.5yes! can't wait to hear this.
Album Rating: 5.0Anyone who likes this album should check out Amaranthe's self-titled album.
Album Rating: 3.5If you don't really care about simplicity and the fact that some metal elements are gone, this would be rated as 3.5/5.
The album cover makes it look high Final Fantasy influenced
Anyone who likes this album should check out Amaranthe's self-titled album.
Album Rating: 5.0Dang it!
Album Rating: 3.5Bah, he should've never said that. But anyway, if you don't like overproduced metal with a lot of clean vocals and catchiness, avoid this.
Um, looks like they used some final fantasy character for their album cover or something. Didn't like their previous album, will see if this is any good.
Dang it!
Sounds interesting, loved Idolator so might check this out. Good review as well ;)
Didn't even know they were working on a new album. And I agree with ButcheredChildren. Might check this out later.
Album Rating: 3.5Loved Mozaiq, especially the trance elements. Sounded fresh, tbh. A bit reluctant to check this out though, seeing as Sadew and Violator are gone. I never digged Ryo's vocals as much as I did Sadew's.
Merry-Go-Round is a cool song imo

New Hampshire has always had a warm place in my heart. My family and I use to vacation in cottages along Lake Winnipesauke every summer. Places like the Polar Caves, Lost River, and The Flume were some of my favorite stops in the Granite State. Little did I realize that hidden within the deep forest and steep mountains there were similar places waiting to be revealed or rediscovered. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a lead on a place called Glacial Park. My friend Super 'D' had suggest we head up to Thornton NH for an adventure weekend. His cousin Bryon is the owner and caretaker of Shamrock motel in Thornton NH and also was an avid explorer. Byron enjoyed hiking the NH forest with his kids and knew of several other interesting sites we could visit. Once the seed was planted in Bryon's ear, he invited my Super 'D' and I to stay up at his motel for the weekend. He promised give us a tour of some of the forgotten sites in NH that he felt would make a great addition to the website.

When most people think of mummies, images of deserts and pyramids come to mind. On a recent trip to NH, Bryon the owner of the Shamrock Motel mentioned that there were mummies in No. Woodstock NH. Memories of a story concerning mummies that were reburied in New England came to mind. Byron claimed no knowledge of real mummies in NH but that he knew of a curious rock formation from long ago. He explained that 'The Mummies' was an outcropping of bedrock that Crooked Brook carved into what resembled mummies. Though not as admired as 'The Old Man in the Mountain', it once was a popular roadside stop for tourists and locals.

Near a small Massachusetts village called Nahant, is a cave that few people are aware of. It's roughly 24 yards deep with a ceiling over six feet high. I had stumbled upon an old print of the cave while researching caves of New England. Intrigued by my discovery, I spent some time following up on it. It was difficult to find anything written about the cave. Eventually, I discovered a short description that mentioned a witch haunted it. That was more than enough to put it on the top of my to-do list. I scanned through topographical and nautical maps and found its location. Spending a few more hours digging through the archives, I uncovered the story behind Swallow Cave.
