After more than a year of declines, direct market reseller CDW's bimonthly survey of IT leaders is now showing signs that the worst of the recession may be over.
The most recent CDW IT Monitor survey shows that an increasing number of IT decision makers from small and midsize businesses-29 percent-anticipate making investments in IT over the next six months. That's an increase of 7 percentage points from the previous survey in February.
Also, 18 percent of midsize business IT decision makers said they anticipate hiring in the next six months, an increase of 6 percentage points since February.
But in spite of these positive movements, overall confidence among IT decision makers remains relatively low, according to CDW. However, for the first time in six months the confidence rating remained flat with the previous survey, indicating that eroding confidence may have stabilized.
Survey Shows Uptick in Jobs at Midsize Businesses Amid Recession
A new survey of IT decision makers provides a glimmer of hope that the worst of the recession may be over. The most recent CDW IT Monitor survey shows that more SMBs are looking to increase IT spending and create new jobs in the next six months.

Post Immerse Post
Get it?
Post Immerse Post?
Yeah. I'm still sleep deprived. And a little punchy.
So this past Friday was the Big Night.
It takes every minute we give to it for the year to pull it off. And it's worth it.
This year we were thrilled to have Natalie Grant, Anita Renfroe and Candace Cameron Bure. Yep. It was pretty much completely and totally awesome.
Anita Renfroe. Anytime, anywhere, I will go listen to that gal. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh. I lurve her. Deeply.
Our 2dance2dream dancers performed this year. It is such a thrill to see these amazing kids perform on the Immerse stage.
They brought the house down again this year.
Natalie Grant did her thing. Her incredible thing. Her 'sing from the bottom of her heart 'til it fills yours' kind of a thing.
That kind of a thing.
And Candace Cameron Bure? What a delight. What a powerful message. What a doll.
It's so inspiring to to hear someone who is continuing to perform and excel in Hollywood while holding fast to her faith and beliefs.
And Amy Byrd from Spirit 105.9 was on hand to kick off the evening. What a precious person~~she is much beloved in our ATX community.
I could go on and on and on. It's just such a magical night, such a powerful swirl of ministry and heart and inclusion of some amazing kids. I posted last year that it has become, for me, The Why Moment. And that still remains the personal experience.
But, of course, it's so much bigger than just my perspective. It was incredible to hear the stories from this year's attendees, to know that song and message and laughter spoke to them right in their moment, right into their lives. We're prayerfully gearing up again to plan toward 2014 and I feel more keenly than ever the mystery that what we'll be planning right now will somehow miraculously speak its way into women's hearts this time next year.
Many thanks to all who attended, volunteered, performed, spoke, sang, laughed, cheered, danced. You are amazing.

WORK Architecture Co. (WORKac) has won an international competition for the 2014 Summit of the African Union Assembly Hall in Libreville, Gabon. The New York—based firm's winning entry, dubbed
L'Assemblée Radieuse (Radiant Assembly), uses passive cooling strategies to ventilate its program of conference space, dining facilities, and an Assembly Hall, the latter of which takes the form of a flexible 1000-seat auditorium. Three open-air interior courtyards, each planted with native species, are lined with African limestone louvers that allow further ventilation into the structure; similar louvers also wrap the building exterior. A sloping, light-colored roof both deflects heat and collects rainwater, which recirculates through a waterfall before being re-used within the facility.
The fast-track project will be a team effort led by WORKac, which will collaborate with Epstein on the design and production, with Arup providing services including M/E/P and acoustical engineering, sustainable design, and theater consulting. Robert Silman Associates will oversee the structural engineering, and Tillotson Design Associates will design lighting for the Assembly Hall. WORKac expects to break ground in February 2013, with project completion by June 2014.

Lehtonen preparing diligently for upcoming season
by John Tranchina / Dallas StarsWith Marty Turco leaving the organization as an unrestricted free agent, 26-year-old Finnish netminder Kari Lehtonen takes over as the top man in the Dallas Stars crease.
Lehtonen, who was acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Feb. 9 and signed a three-year contract extension May 11, will become the franchise's first new number one goaltender since 2002-03.
His stellar performance over the final month of last season proved to the Stars that Lehtonen would be a worthy successor to Turco and earned him the contract extension, which will pay him $10.65 million ($3.55 million average per year) over the next three seasons.
Over the final 14 games, of which he started nine, Lehtonen sparkled, fashioning a 6-3-0 mark, including his 100th career victory, with a 2.44 goals-against average and .926 save percentage.
"We're moving forward with Kari," Stars General Manager Joe Nieuwendyk said. "We've had a long tradition here of having premium goaltenders. Marty Turco has been a solid goaltender here for over a decade now and has done great things on and off the ice. But I just felt for the long-term success of our franchise, we needed to acquire Kari Lehtonen. I think the way he played in the last 10-12 games, his performance showed that with a good summer of training, we hope that he can be an elite goaltender once again like he was early in his career."
Lehtonen, who has had trouble with injuries throughout his career, has been working hard this summer to make sure he continues re-gaining his form that led to his selection by the Thrashers with the second overall pick in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
Last season, Lehtonen missed the first four-plus months of the year (leading up to his trade to Dallas) recovering from multiple back surgeries, and after working his way back into shape, finished the year strong.
"When I came here, I started from zero," said the 6-foot-4, 215-pound native of Helsinki, of his fitness level. "I had no clue if my body could handle playing and all that stuff. The last maybe eight games, I felt very comfortable. I think it also helped that the games went well, and with me starting to get comfortable being with the new team. It was great to see that I was able to do it and that gives me a lot of confidence going into next year."
To that end, Lehtonen is determined to remain healthy this season. In an attempt to keep his conditioning level up and to prevent future injuries, Lehtonen altered his summer program a bit from what he's done in the past.
"I probably started in past years started doing things (in early July) and this year, I started doing things almost right away," said Lehtonen, who still has a house in Atlanta. "These guys in Dallas hooked me up with a strength coach in Atlanta and I started going there five times a week and doing very specific things for my back and for my hips and groins and just kind of getting those parts stronger. Now we're starting to do more regular things, like cardio things and stuff like that. I've done a lot more and realize that it's very important."
Lehtonen has shown that when he's healthy and gets into a good groove, he can be an elite NHL netminder. It's no coincidence that the one NHL season he didn't miss any time was his best - in 2006-07, he recorded a 34-24-9 record in 68 games, with a 2.79 goals-against average and .912 save percentage, leading Atlanta to the franchise's only playoff appearance in 10 years of existence.
Now he hopes to re-capture that form and in the process, help the Stars find their way back into the post-season after not qualifying for the last two years.
"I have a lot to prove for myself and I want to get back to be a great goalie in this league," said Lehtonen, who has shined on the international stage as well, helping Finland to a silver medal at the 2007 World Championships and winning bronze medals at the World Junior Championships in both 2002 and '03. "If I'm able to do that, I'm sure I'll help this club a lot."
With the Stars' acquisition of veteran netminder Andrew Raycroft, who is expected to battle Brent Krahn for the backup job, Lehtonen is ready to team up with a new partner this coming season.
"He's a veteran guy and he's going to come here and push me to play better and I'm going to try to push him," Lehtonen said of Raycroft, who backed up Roberto Luongo in Vancouver last season. "I think we have three guys here who can play in the NHL and who really want to play, so I think it's a great situation. What makes goalies better is when you have somebody pushing you and you have to go the extra mile to earn the ice time. That's good."
Lehtonen also didn't feel slighted when the Stars chose highly-touted goaltender Jack Campbell with their first round pick (11th overall) in June's NHL Entry Draft. While he knows he's the main man here in the foreseeable future, he recognizes that someday he'll need to compete for his starting job - and that's okay with him.
"I used to think things like that a lot more, but since I've got older, I've realized it's fair game with the goalie position," Lehtonen said of the notion that Campbell's presence in the organization is a potential threat to his long-term job security. "It's not nice that only one goalie can play, but it's only fair- if you're playing better than the other guy, you get your ice time and you get to be the guy. It doesn't affect me. It even pushes me to be better and better because I know there's an elite kid coming who wants this spot as much I do. It's a great draft pick for this organization. Now I think we're very strong in the goalie department for years to come. I think that's good."
Lehtonen certainly sounds confident, like a player who knows he's going to have a strong season, and that's got to be comforting to Dallas management.
"We were excited to acquire Kari Lehtonen in February because of his size, skill and potential to once again be a top-tier goaltender in this league," Nieuwendyk said. "His play during the last month of the season reaffirmed our belief that he can be our starter for next year and seasons to come."
Lehtonen's plans for the rest of the summer is to continue working out, to ensure he's in the best shape possible come training camp.
"I'll go to Atlanta and keep going with the strength guy there," said Lehtonen. "I'm going to come here early, in August, and work with the goalie coach (Mike Valley) and the other players that are starting to come in at that time. I want to be here early to feel comfortable with everything."

Endless entertainment from microcontrollers
So the 18f14k50 in use since 2009 had yet another silicon error where PORTA 0:1 couldn't be read unless the IOCA bits were set. Also, the pullups on 0:1 don't work. This is why microcontrollers get standardized on for years, until they're either discontinued or become useless for the application. There are always a myriad of errors to be discovered.
Next, discovered the Rigol samples at 500megsamples/sec in long memory mode, but 1gigsamples/sec in short memory mode. Nothing has required that fidelity & the probes probably can't do it either, but now you know. Finally, the quest to power the Canon 580EXII never ends. Lithium batteries only lasted 2 months. There seems to be no reliable solution besides AC power. The servocity pan/tilt module is so slow, it requires an IMU to know where the camera is pointed in each frame. The mighty MPU-9150 is set to do this. There are horror stories about the licensing of its firmware where Invensense charges an outrageous fee to sell a product which actually uses their product. At least a supply of AKM8975's was located, providing a stop gap solution to the magnetometer issue. The limits of weight, size, update rate, & power supplies make finding the right magnetometer very involved. The AKM8975 is the only one which has fit in the requirements of a microscopic vehicle. |

Biography Thomas Wotton was described by Izaak Walton as 'a man of great modesty, of a plain and single heart, of an ancient freedom and integrity of mind, ... of great learning, religion and wealth'. He came from a Kentish family which stood high in the esteem of the crown: his father was prominent at the court of Henry VIII, a beneficiary under the King's will and a Privy Councillor and treasurer of Calais under Edward VI, and his uncle successively an ambassador, Privy Councillor and secretary of state. With the exception of his single (known) appearance at Westminster, Wotton did not try to emulate them: he was of a retiring disposition and rarely visited either the court or the capital, but as a landlord and magistrate he showed exemplary diligence.4
Wotton spent some time at Lincoln's Inn, presumably to round off his education since he is not known to have been called or to have practised; while a student at the inn he occupied a house in the nearby parish of St. Foster's, Gutter Lane. His marriage, which may have taken place before he left it, was one of a series between his family and the Rudstons, his father having married the widow of Sir John Rudston and his sister being the wife of Robert Rudston.5
Wotton's return in 1547 for a newly enfranchised Cornish town was doubtless arranged by his father, with help from another Privy Councillor, Sir John Russell, Baron Russell, an honorary member of Lincoln's Inn and lord lieutenant in the west. The Journal contains no reference to Wotton, but he missed some of the first session conveying treasure to his father in Calais and in the second he may have interested himself in the Act for gavelkind (2 and 3 Edw. VI, no. 40), which was to his benefit as an eldest son. He doubtless acted for his father and uncle during their absences abroad, and early in 1549 he wrote a letter of advice to the Protector which, coming from one of so little experience, probably offended its recipient. By the next Parliament, that of March 1553, Wotton's father was dead; his uncle was in favour with the Duke of Northumberland, but in the absence of so many returns it is not known whether he sat again, although his younger brother did. In the previous autumn he had been nominated, but not pricked, sheriff, and he was promised a knighthood of the Bath which the King did not live to confer. Wotton's Protestantism did not commend him to Mary. On 16 Jan. 1554 he was summoned before the Council, perhaps in connexion with Sir Thomas Wyatt II's plot, and five days later he was committed to the Fleet 'for obstinate standing in matters of religion'. His uncle interceded with the Queen on his behalf and averted harsher punishment. It is not known how long Wotton stayed in custody and nothing has come to light about his career during the rest of the reign.6
With Elizabeth on the throne Wotton emerged as a figure of importance in Kent. As her first sheriff he received in 1559 a letter from (Sir) Henry Crispe 'touching the tranquillity of the realm' which he sent on to Cecil. In 1564 his religious beliefs were approved by Archbishop Parker, and his efforts to defend extreme Protestants and to extirpate recusancy show where his heart lay. In 1573 the Queen visited Boughton Place and offered him a knighthood, which he declined. Wotton is chiefly remembered as the patron of William Lambarde†, whose Perambulation of Kent (1576) was dedicated to him; as a young man he had been similarly associated with The Christian state of matrimony (1543) translated by Miles Coverdale, and later in life Edward Dering dedicated to him The sparing restraint (1568). Wotton made his will on 8 Jan. 1587. He left £400 and some furniture to his wife, provided she quitclaimed her interest in the Wotton estates to his son Edward. He remembered various members of his family and his friends (Sir) Roger Manwood II and Thomas Temple, and appointed as executors his son Edward, his brother-in-law Robert Rudston and his nephew William Cromer†. He died three days later and was buried in Boughton church, where a monument was erected to his memory.7

Thomas Wotton (1521–1587), who was in December 1547 employed in conveying treasure to his father at Calais, and in 1551 succeeded to his estates, his father having procured two acts of parliament 'disgavelling' his lands in Kent. Edward VI had intended making him K.B., but after Mary's accession the council on 19 Sept. 1553 wrote him a letter 'discharging him from being knight of the Bath, whereunto he was once appointed and written unto' (Acts P. C. 1552–4, p. 351). On 16 Jan. 1553–4 he was summoned before the council, and on 21 Jan. 'for obstinate standing against matters of religion was committed to the Fleet, to remain there a close prisoner' (ib. pp. 385, 389). Walton in his 'Life of Sir Henry Wotton' (Reliquiæ Wottonianæ, 1685, sig. b4) declares that the council's action was due to Nicholas Wotton, who had twice dreamt that his nephew was in danger of participating in some dangerous enterprise, apparently Wyatt's rebellion, and secured his temporary imprisonment to save him from worse perils. The date of his release has not been ascertained; but on 23 Nov. 1558, six days after Elizabeth's accession, he was made sheriff of Kent. For nearly thirty years he was regularly included in the various commissions for the county, such as those for the peace, for taking musters, gaol delivery, examining into cases of piracy, and fortifying Dover. In July 1573 he entertained Queen Elizabeth at Boughton Malherbe, when he declined an offer of knighthood, and in 1578–9 again served as sheriff. He was a person of 'great learning, religion, and wealth,' and a patron of learning and protestantism in others. Thomas Becon [q. v.] dedicated to him his 'Book of Matrimony,' and Edward Dering his 'Sparing Restraint.' William Lambarde [q. v.] also dedicated to Wotton in 1570 his 'Perambulation of Kent,' which was published in 1576 with a prefatory letter by Wotton. He died on 11 Jan. 1586–7, and was buried at Boughton Malherbe (Inquisitio post mortem, Elizabeth, vol. ccxv. No. 263). He married, first, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Rudston, by whom he had issue Edward, first baron Wotton [q. v.]; Robert; Sir John, who travelled widely, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and died young after giving some promise as a poet (cf. his two contributions to England's Helicon of 1600, ed. A. H. Bullen, 1899, pp. xviii, 65, 82); James (d. 1628), who served in Spain and was knighted on the field in 1596 near Cadiz; and Thomas. By his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Finch and widow of Robert Morton, Wotton was father of Sir Henry Wotton [q. v.], the diplomatist and poet.

Austin, Henderson carry Point Park to victory over Midway (Ky.)
Nov. 14, 2009
RIO GRANDE, Ohio - The backcourt duo of April Austin and Ashley Henderson carried the Point Park University women's basketball team to a 97-88 victory over Midway (Ky.) in the consolation game of the Bevo Francis Tournament hosted by Rio Grande Saturday.
Austin (Penn Hills/North Catholic) led all scorers with 26 points in her second career game while Henderson (Greensburg/Greensburg Central Catholic) chipped in 15 points. Austin, a freshman point guard who had a team-high 19 points in her collegiate debut Friday, was named to the all-tournament team.
Henderson, who was named the American Mideast Conference Newcomer of the Year last year in her first season at Point Park, scored 11 points in the first half to help the Pioneers (1-1) build a 50-37 lead at the break.
Henderson, a junior guard, started her career at Pitt and Canisius before coming to Point Park last year. Henderson (pictured) led the Pioneers in scoring at 15.6 points per game as a sophomore.
After Henderson's big first half, it was Austin who turned in an impressive second half. The former all-state player out of North Catholic High School scored 19 of her 26 points after halftime as Point Park pulled away.
Midway (1-5) cut the Point Park lead to 55-49 with 16:48 to play, but Austin sparked an 11-3 run that allowed the Pioneers to put the game out of reach. During the run, the 5-6 point guard nailed three 3-pointers to give Point Park a 66-52 advantage with 14:02 remaining.
Although Midway got within 66-59 with 13:00 to go, the Pioneers mounted a 24-8 spurt over the next nine minutes to take their biggest lead, 90-67, at the 4:07 mark. The Pioneers maintained their double-digit lead until a 3-pointer at the buzzer made the final margin nine points.
Point Park played in the consolation game after dropping their season opener to Bluefield (Va.), 74-68, on Friday. The 97 points scored by Point Park Saturday were the most by the program since a 101-90 win over Penn State-Fayette two years ago.
Austin and Henderson were the only Point Park players to reach double figures, although the high offensive output was due to balanced scoring.
Five Point Park players scored eight points apiece, and four of those players, Joncelyn Peterkin, Brittney Wilson, Terrica Jones and Ashley Bergman are West Mifflin natives. Katy Auth (Bellevue/Northgate) joined Wilson, Jones and Bergman in scoring eight points off the bench.
Along with their eight points, Wilson and Auth tied for the team lead with six rebounds each.
Austin's 26 points were aided by a 4-for-8 performance from 3-point range. As a team, Point Park shot 52 percent (12 of 23) from long range. Henderson, Wilson and Bergman made two treys apiece. Henderson was 6 of 9 from the field.
Point Park shot 46 percent (30 of 66) from the field and led in rebounding, 37-34. Midway shot 47 percent overall and 48 percent (11 of 23) from beyond the 3-point arc.
Jackie Hicks kept Midway in the game by leading three players in double figures with 24 points. Hicks was 7 of 14 from the floor and 5 of 9 from long range. Erica Smiley added 15 points, and Katie Mayes chipped in 13 points off the bench.
Midway held an 11-10 lead after 4:30, but then Point Park but together an 11-1 run to lead 21-12 midway through the first half.
Midway cut the lead to 25-20 at the 7:16 mark, but Point Park bumped the lead back to double digits, 40-30, on Wilson's 3-pointer four minutes later.
The Pioneers closed the first half on a strong note, and led by as many as 15 in the closing minutes of the first stanza. Point Park was up 48-33 after an 8-1 spurt that featured 3-pointers by Henderson and Bergman and a layup by Jones.
Point Park will resume non-conference play by visiting Penn State-Fayette Tuesday. Tipoff is 5 p.m.

From the author of Because of You comes an all-new contemporary eBook romance. Though he plays by the rules, she's not afraid to break them. Now these two strong-willed military leaders will prove that opposites attract . . . even under fire. A by-the-book captain with a West Point background, Evan Loehr refuses to mix business with pleasure—except for an unguarded instance years ago when he succumbed to the deep sensuality of redheaded beauty Claire Montoya. Since that brief lapse in judgment, Evan has been at odds with her. But when he is asked to train a combat team alongside Claire, battle-hardened Evan is in for the fight of his life. Strong, gutsy, and loyal, Captain Claire Montoya has worked hard to achieve her high military rank. In Evan Loehr, Claire sees a spoiled commander who puts the rules before everything else—including his people. Army orders force them together and Claire soon discovers that there is more to Evan than meets the eye. He too has dark secrets and deep longings. For all their differences, Evan and Claire share two crucial passions: their country and each other. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Blaze of Winter, The Devil's Thief, and Santerra's Sin.
Jessica Scott is the author of Because of You. A career soldier with sixteen years of experience in the army, she has written for the New York Times At War blog and for the PBS Point of View Regarding War… More about Jessica Scott

Comments about Nature Nap Dog Mat - Oat Bone:
I had a couple of beds that I liked but when they were washed, they got all clumpy. I searched everywhere for a nice washable dog bed preferably in somewhat neutral tones. This bed is perfect. I washed it right away to see how it held up and it looked just as good after washing as before. Like I said, this is exactly what I had been looking for. I would order another for her crate if she wouldn't chew on it. Unfortunately she does still chew and she briefly chewed on this bed when I wasn't looking but fortunately it didn't do very much damage.

How to Know if Your Guy is a Keeper
You've met a guy, you're attracted to him, and he's attracted to you. He's not a loser, a bad guy, a drunk, a psycho, or a user.
After all, he brings you small, thoughtful gifts. And, with an inviting gleam in his eye, he tells you how beautiful you are while sitting across the table at a restaurant you would have chosen. He seems to get you.
But here's what you don't understand because you have probably been here before, and on more than one occasion: Does the attraction carry the same meaning for him as it does for you? Are those thoughtful gifts, romantic dinners, and sweet-nothings just foreplay, or is he a real keeper?
It's not easy resisting a man who thinks that you're just so incredibly special and adorable, particularly when you are about to take off your clothes and surrender to desire. In the moments after that good sex, he makes references to things you will do together in the future, sprinkling the "we" word into the conversation.
It feels right, but it's felt that way before and wasn't. What do you do?
You ask your girlfriend Ginny, "Is he committed, or just using me for sex?" She says, "I've been trying to answer that question in my own life for some time now, and it's difficult. Who knows? Maybe he's just suffering from settling-down fever."
"But I want something to happen soon," you plead. "It's been eight months. I know guys have a hard time climbing the commitment ladder. Each step is an ordeal. But still…"
"Why not just ask him," Ginny offers optimistically. "Maybe he'll tell you he's had his concerns and he's past that. You'll feel greatly relieved—like it was just settling-down fever all along."
You pause. You want to believe. "Okay, yeah, I'm gonna."
A week passes, then two and then two more. Ginny asks if you have. You haven't. "Go ahead," she prompts. "Do it."
"But I can't let him know my doubt!" you fire back. "Besides, what if he says he really likes the idea of having a pillow pal, and nothing more? Maybe I'll find out that he doesn't really want a life-partner, but can't bring himself to tell me. The thought of starting over makes me want to vomit!"
"But if you don't ask," Ginny insists, "you'll waste your time with him. I know, I've done it more than once, and then when I face another birthday alone, I beat myself up."
Ginny calls back a few minutes later with a confession. Despite her advice, in contrast to everything she's said, she is just as confused when it comes to the commitment thing as ever.
Joy. Panic. Optimism. Sadness. Glee! Relief. Anger! Anxiety. Dread. Hope. Fulfillment. Denial…you get the idea. Commitment—how to get it, how to recognize a man who is capable of it—and how to know if it's only sex. These are the issues that drive women, especially women under forty, crazy.
So, what to do?
Don't go consulting your cubicle mate who thought "Sex and the City" was a source of meaningful wisdom. And girlfriends may not be any better. Some of the best-intentioned friends, like Ginny, often are as lost as you are. They may want the very best for you, but their hearts are as soft as yours and they are as likely to get drawn to the wrong Mr. Right as you are.
This is a guy issue and it's a guy who you should turn to. Not any guy, but a guy who you can trust not to massage your heart, but to tell you his truth.
Here are some truths from men who aren't afraid to tell it like it is:
They say the signals are there, all you need to do is identify them and heed them:
- A man that is headed toward commitment will happily make room for you in his life and his home. He says "we" a lot, and not just in the moments after sex.
- He asks your opinion about major things going on in his life like career issues, family situations, relationships with his buddies, etc.
- Rather than keeping up, he tells his old girlfriends that he has a cool woman now.
- He takes your relationship public to his family, coworkers and friends.
- He volunteers information like who was on the phone, how much he makes, problems he may be having, etc.
- He's passionate and loving and wants to be around you as much as possible.
- He's responsive to your requests and meets your important needs willingly and consistently.
- He stays in touch, even if it's brief when he's crunching a deadline.
Moral of this little story: Unless you have a girlfriend who thinks like a man, turn to a guy buddy to get the real deal.

Can someone tell me to get e to the other side of the equation you multiply it by ln, as well as the other side. What happens to '-mt' in this instance?
Thanks in advance
I don't quite understand your post, but the natural log isn't a number that you multiply. You can take the natural log of an expression and when you have an equation you can take the ln of both sides and maintain equality, but it isn't a multiplication process.
As for the right hand side:
This is applying one of the 3 common log rules to manipulate terms from outside the log with inside.

I am a total noob at both Linux & ISPConfig , so this question might be dumb. I had some troubles installing PhpMyAdmin, MySQL & Apache, but finally I got it to work .. The SMTP / POP3 I did NOT get to work though... And .. to my question .. Is ISPConfig a "layer" on top of these working programs that I just wrote, or when I install ISPConfig , will that install the mailserver & other stuff needed?
Check this out ... pick a distribution and follow the instructions ... everything gets loaded instyalled and configured. And they work... http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/documentation
Does it mean, that Ispconfig is separate from services like Apache, Postfix, Mysql, Pureftpd and Bind? Can I can turn off each/some of these services without causing Ispconfig to fail? If I uninstall Ispconfig, what gets uninstalled and deleted (physically,which directories)? Thank you for your help.
ISPConfig is a control panel. It controls these other services such as apache2, postfix etc. The idea is, once installed you won't need to adjust any of the other services manually. The control panel does the lot through a friendly interface. You can potentially install it on top of your previously installed services but as mentioned in the previous post, there are very good guides to installing the right services in the right order prior to ISPConfig as the final installation. If you then uninstall it? I think (and don't quote me) the individual services will work fine.

NEW YORK — "Little Fockers" was no. 1 at the box office on a weekend when Hollywood competed with Christmas gatherings and fierce snow storms in the Northeast and Southeast.
According to studio estimates Sunday, the poorly reviewed third installment of the Ben Stiller series of in-law comedy was to earn $34 million over the three-day weekend, and $48.3 million since opening on Wednesday.
The Coen brothers' "True Grit" took in a better-than-expected $25.6 million over the weekend, with a five-day total of $36.8 million. That marked the best opening ever for Joel and Ethan Coen.
In its second weekend of release, "TRON: Legacy" dipped 54.3 percent to earn $20.1 million, bringing its gross to $88.3 million.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Campbell Law School and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) will partner to host a three-day continuing legal education (CLE) program at the law school, May 9-11. Campbell Law graduates interested in attending will receive a 15% discount from the standard program cost.
Campbell Law Professor of Law Jean Cary will serve as the program director. Cary, who joined the Campbell Law faculty in 1991, is a leading teacher and scholar in the field of depositions. She has taught family law, pretrial litigation, trial advocacy, and interviewing and counseling.
The deposition skills program will put participants in a realistic deposition setting and provide an opportunity for them to discover the questioning style that best fits their personality and skills. Using NITA's unique "funnel technique," participants will practice and perfect the skills of:
* Eliciting exhaustive, expansive answers
* Theory testing during depositions
* Identifying other useful witnesses and documents
* Closing off avenues of escape
* Successfully dealing with obstreperous counsel
* Knowing when, and how, to object when defending a deposition
* Gaining admissions and information for use at trial or during negotiations
* Witness preparation
A stellar faculty comprised of lawyers, judges, professors, and consultants will lead the program, including Peter Hoffman, co-author of "The Effective Deposition: Techniques and Strategies That Work."
The program, estimated at 18 CLE hours, qualifies as one credit toward the NITA Advocate Designation.
For more information please visit the NITA website at http://www.nita.org.
Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The school has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,400 alumni, including more than 2,400 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 26 years, Campbell Law's overall record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school. In September 2009, Campbell Law relocated to a state-of-the-art building in downtown Raleigh. For more information, visit http://law.campbell.edu.

Florence, Alabama –
You come awake in the middle of the night;
Thoughts are running through your mind;
About life and days gone by;
About Free Range Chicken and bourbon and gifts galore…..
As your luck would have it, these things do have something in common….
A downtown eatery by the odd name of Odette that is dishing up meals using high quality, locally grown farm-fresh Alabama ingredients. The owner Celeste Pillow and Chef Josh Quick have combined their talents to develop a "farm-influenced, innovative menu by marrying international flavors with regional flare and classic techniques."
The front part of the restaurant has a varied selection of gifts for the giving and specialty items to spruce up your home. There is even an informal sitting area if you have to wait for a table or you decide to sample of one of their signature bourbons and want to sit on a comfortable couch.
Being in historic downtown Florence, means the building has a life of its own, having hosted many businesses during it existence. The eatery has an open and airy feel about it with the pressed tin tiles on the ceiling and the exposed bricks on the walls. The décor could be described as simple but comfortable, like your favorite pair slacks that always feels just right when you wear them. Odette's is that kind of place.
From the free range chicken to farm raised Alabama catfish the menu is awash in dishes to suit anyone's taste. Additionally, Odette's features a daily lunch special that also utilizes the farm fresh ingredients.
It was on a Tuesday when we visited Odette and Tuesday is buttermilk-brined fried chicken with green tomato chutney. So we ordered up some of the fried chicken without hesitation ($ll.00 ea). Debra got mixed spring vegetables and stewed beans and I chose the griddled potato cake and Napa cabbage slaw.
The waitress was prompt to bring our drinks and get the order into the kitchen while we waited with anticipation of good things to come. We marveled at the huge display of bourbons and more, thinking to ourselves how does one choose from the many that are there. If I were a bourbon drinking man, I could sit and contemplate what to choose next when my glass was empty and would become someone whom everyone would know my name.
It didn't take long for our lunch to arrive and with three pieces of fried chicken and two side items the plates were full. We attacked the chicken and while the outside was extra crispy (and a little on the burnt side), the meat on the inside was moist and tender.
The side were also a taste experience, the potato cake was lightly griddled and was creamy with a hint of spices and potato goodness. The napa cabbage slaw was coarsely cut and seasoned well and added a wee bit of tartness to offset the taste of the fried chicken.
Debra's stewed beans were cooked to a good tenderness and her spring vegetables lightly steam to retain their flavor.
The waitress asked us about dessert, we considered ordering one, but really didn't have room for it after the meal. Maybe next time on the dessert or just go in for dessert.
I do wish that Odette's had a larger glass for iced tea though, the ice in the small glass quickly melted and I had to ask for more ice. And, they were rationing lemon, I always ask for lots of lemon and I got one slice and none with a refill that I finally got after my meal was complete.
We do plan on going back and giving their house-ground beef cheeseburger a try and see how it matches up with my current favorite from Sweet Basil.

Mark 12:13-17 – Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
Kids and Youth
The Pharisees were trying to trick Jesus into giving an answer that would either break God's law or man's law. They were trying to make him choose a side (they wanted an either / or answer). Jesus answer is so good it surprised everyone because it respected both laws (he gave a both / and answer). He basically said it is okay to pay your taxes to Caesar, but you are to give to God what he owns as well! As we know God owns all things, including human beings who bear his image. Jesus answer satisfied both parties and gave God the higher honor He is due in a very subtle way.

Well its hasn't been that long since Ive uploading something. Been a REALLY long time since i upload a amv i worked on my own though.I actually enjoyed editing this video. i never once loathe the thought of opening Sony Vegas to edit this video.i enjoyed watching the series from 1 - 131 to get clips. i didn't really pay attention to the major clips.. used a lot of filler episodes with this one.As i was watch the anime i thought to myself i love shikamaru, he was one of my favorite character in the entire anime, his fights may have not been physically but they were intellectual and i loved that about his fights. how he thought everything through before he actually began fighting

Would it possible to create ones own batch application with help of the SQL Doc API in order to automatic documentation of multi servers/instances?
Here I think in the lines of how the API for SQL Compare works.
The reason I would like to have only one compiled Microsoft HTML Help (.chm file) for a system that are located on more then one server.
I would like to be able to select on high object level (Database – Tables, Views Programmability and Security), what's should in the .chm file.
I know that I could use the command line feature that's comes with the Pro version, but is builds one file pr server and then merge the .chm files into one.
But it would be nice if I could use the SQL Doc API, since I now have the Pro version.

Professor Hans Rosling certainly is a remarkable figure. I recommend watching his performances. Especially the BBC's "Joy of Stats" is exemplary. Rosling sells passion for data, visual clarity and great deal of comedy. He represents the data-driven paradigm in science. What is it? And is it as exciting and promising as the documentary suggests?
Data-driven scientists (data miners) such as Rosling believe that data can tell a story, that observation equals information, that the best way towards scientific progress is to collect data, visualize them and analyze them (data miners are not specific about what analyze means exactly). When you listen to Rosling carefully he sometimes makes data equivalent to statistics: a scientist collects statistics. He also claims that "if we can uncover the patterns in the data then we can understand". I know this attitude: there are massive initiatives to mobilize data, integrate data, there are methods for data assimilation and data mining, and there is an enormous field of scientific data visualization. Data-driven scientists sometimes call themselves informaticians or data scientists. And they are all excited about big data: the larger is the number of observations (N) the better.
Rosling is right that data are important and that science uses statistics to deal with the data. But he completely ignores the second component of statistics: hypothesis (here equivalent to model or theory). There are two ways to define statistics and both require data as well as hypotheses: (1) Frequentist statistics makes probabilistic statements about data, given the hypothesis. (2) Bayesian statistics works the other way round: it makes probabilistic statements about the hypothesis, given the data. Frequentist statistics prevailed as a major discourse as it used to be computationally simpler. However, it is also less consistent with the way we think - we are nearly always ultimately curious about the Bayesian probability of the hypothesis (i.e. "how probable it is that things work a certain way, given what we see") rather then in the frequentist pobability of the data (i.e. "how likely it is that we would see this if we repeated the experiment again and again and again").
In any case, data and hypothesis are two fundamental parts of both Bayesian and frequentist statistics. Emphasisizing data at the expense of hypothesis means that we ignore the actual thinking and we end up with trivial or arbitrary statements, spurious relationships emerging by chance, maybe even with plenty of publications, but with no real understanding. This is the ultimate and unfortunate fate of all data miners. I shall note that the opposite is similarly dangerous: Putting emphasis on hypotheses (the extreme case of hypothesis-driven science) can lead to a lunatic abstractions disconnected from what we observe. Good science keeps in mind both the empirical observations (data) and theory (hypotheses, models).
Is it any good to have large data (high N)? In other words, does high number of observations lead to better science? It doesn't. Data have their value only when confronted with a useful theory. Theories can get strong and robust support even from relatively small data (Fig. 1a, b). Hypotheses and relationships that need very large data to be demonstrated (Fig. 1c, d) are weak hypotheses and weak relationships. Testing simple theories is more of a hassle with very large data than with small data, especially in the computationally intensive Bayesian framework. Finally, collection, storage and handling of very large data costs a lot of effort, time and money.
Figure 1 Strong effects (the slope of the linear model y=f(x)) can get strong support even from small data (a). Collecting more data does not increase the support very much (b) and is just a waste of time, effort, storage space and money. Weak effects will find no support in small data (c) and will be supported only by very large datasets (d). In case of (d) there is such a large amount of unexplained variability and the effect is so weak, that the hypothesis that y=f(x) does not seem very interesting - there is probably some not yet imagined cause of the variability.
My final argument is that data are not always an accurate representation of what they try to measure. Especially in life sciences and social sciences (the "messy" fields) data are regularly contaminated by measurement errors, subjective biases, incomplete coverages, non-independence, detectability problems, aggregation problems, poor metadata, nomenclature problems and so on. Collecting more data may enhance such problems and can lead to spurious patterns. On the other hand, if the theory-driven approach is adopted, these biases can be made an integral part of the model, fitted to the data, and accounted for. What is then visualized are not the raw biased data but the (hopefully) unbiased model predictions of the real process of interest.
So why many scientists find data-driven research and large data exciting? It has nothing to do with science. The desire to have datasets as large as possible and to create giant data mines is driven by our instinctive craving for plenty (richness), and by boyish tendency to have a "bigger" toy (car, gun, house, pirate ship, database) than anyone else. And whoever guards the vaults of data holds power over all of the other scientists who crave the data.
But most importantly, data-driven science is less intellectually demanding then hypothesis-driven science. Data mining is sweet, anyone can do it. Plotting multivariate data, maps, "relationships" and colorful visualizations is hip and catchy, everybody can understand it. By contrary, thinking about theory can be pain and it requires a rare commodity: imagination.

Tool uses Google to hunt for open source bugs
Call Bugle
Posted in The Channel, 28th July 2006 16:16 GMT
A new research project aims to harness search engine Google to find security flaws in open source code. Bugle identifies common vulns using a (thus far) limited set of Google queries. So far the search queries look for cross-site scripting, SQL injection and buffer overflow flaws, for example.
Emmanouel Kellinis, the brains behind the project, a side-line to his regular job as a penetration tester with KPMG, is careful to describe Bugle as limited. Source code review is a complicated process and Bugle should be viewed as helping to give helpful pointer rather than an alternative to more comprehensive analysis, he advises
The release of Bugle comes a week after H D Moore published a Google-based malware search tool. ®

Are You Turning into Your Dad? by Joseph Piercy
Are you...
Unable to identify a single song on "popular" radio stations?
Collecting pointless kitchen accessories like pasta machines and fondue sets?
Pretty sure your kids are just humoring you?
In other words, are you turning into your dad?
Dads represent everything uncool, and when you were young and oh-so-hip you vowed never to become like yours. But as you grow older, have you noticed that warm slippers and coupons have become more and more appealing?
Are You Turning into Your Dad? will help you determine whether or not you are actually turning into your dad (answer: probably) — and whether the trappings of middle age are the ultimate in lame or rites of comfort that may be worth embracing.

Can anyone tell me what would be a good vise for a beginning tier? I will be tieing primarily saltwater flies for the northeast. I would like to keep it under $150 if possible.
: Vises? Smcdermott 04-24-2002, 08:33 PM Can anyone tell me what would be a good vise for a beginning tier? I will be tieing primarily saltwater flies for the northeast. I would like to keep it under $150 if possible. Sean Penguin 04-24-2002, 09:07 PM There are a few nice entry level vises that won't break the bank... Dyna-King makes a "Kingfisher" model that sells for $99. HMH has a similar offering...both will hold saltwater size hooks and get you up and tying! There are a few others in the same range...Check the auction sites (if you're not in a hurry) and go see a local shop and let them know what you have in mind so they can do some show n' tell... Good luck and keep us posted on how things go... The sponsors of FFF would be great places to start a search! Sprocket 04-25-2002, 08:13 AM Sean, I have a Thompson Pro model (under $50) that served well for years. I recently got an Apex by Anvil (around $99) and I really like it - comes with both a clamp & pedestal and is a well made product. I've seen it for 89.00 as well... just a couple options to check out. good luck, Todd Adrian 04-25-2002, 08:24 AM Sean Check out eBAY - I just looked and typed in Renzetti and there are a few Travellers going within your budget. Eddie 04-25-2002, 08:41 AM I think you can get a Regal for that $. I have both a Regal and a Renzetti style side by side. I like the Renzetti style, but for many flys, the Regal is faster. Run a search on vices(or vice), and you will see that the most popular ones are the Dyna King Barracuda, the Renzetti Traveler and the Regal. If you can, try to borrow(or tie up some flys in the shop) and see which you like best. People recomend that you cast a rod befor you buy it. It is good adVIse to do the same with a... Smcdermott 04-25-2002, 09:50 PM I went to a local shop today and checked out a few vises. Here are my thoughts so far. I think I would like something with a pedastal base so I can move it around on the table and get comfortable. Therefore, I was looking at the Dyna-King Kingfisher ($99) and the SW Traveler from Renzetti ($160). How important is it to have a "true-rotary" vise. Will I eventually want/need this feature and be better off coughing up the few extra bucks now. The store owner said that for saltwater I would probably tie alot of epoxy patterns and that the true-rotary would be very helpful for that purpose. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Sean doogue 04-26-2002, 06:38 AM Sean, I have the Renzetti SW Traveler and I love it. It is definitely worth the extra money (as compared to the Anvil Apex - which is, however, another good vise). If you buy the Renzetti you just need to make sure that you buy the cam jaw assembly that can get a good hold of larger saltwater hooks. Then again, you fish for trout too. You might want to make sure that the SW cam can hold tiny trout hooks if you plan on tying some smaller flies. Just something to think about. Either way you look at it - the SW Traveler or the Apex will do what you need. The Apex is fine for tying epoxy patterns - and a rotary vise is handy when working with epoxy. I had an Anvil Apex but then a generous fishing friendbought me the SW Traveler as a thank you gift. I was truly appreciative of his generosity. After that - I gave the Anvil Apex to my Dad. It is a good vise too. Hope that helps. -Mike Roop 04-26-2002, 06:56 AM I have ther Renzetti Traveler, non-saltwater style, and have tied up to 5/0 flies in it. True rotary makes a world of difference - it's the way to go! Penguin 04-26-2002, 07:25 AM ...If you try to $ave a little $$$ now by getting a non-rotary vise, you WILL eventually end up buying another vise with the rotary option. Do it right the first time...$pend a little more ca$h now and avoid having a non-rotary paper weight later...my .02 Sprocket 04-26-2002, 07:55 AM Sean - I think the importance of a "true rotary" vice is, for me, not an issue. The "true rotarys" hold the hook shank in line with the axis of the vice. What is important, again to me, is that I can turn the fly around easily to see the other side and flip it upside down all without opening the jaws. I've often heard the question at claves, "Does anyone use the rotary function to wind thread?" The answer is usually 95% no, wit one guy sayins something like, "Tried it once, didn't like it much." My advise: Play with a couple vices at the store. Put some hooks in 'em, and flip them upside down, etc. See what you like best. If you still aren't sure, buy a cheapo knock-off of something (lots of chinese stuff under $40) and when you figure out what you DO want, you'll have a spare to travel or loan... one other thing that nobody has mentioned - jaw types. The anvil is a cam locking type. I believe the renzetti is the 2-screw adjust type and the regal is a squeeze/spring lock type. Try out each one and see what you like best - that just might be the key to it all. good luck - hope you're less confused than before you asked... johnp 04-26-2002, 08:01 AM I just picked up the sw cam traveler and I love the thing. Just being able to spin the fly around easily to check proportions is awesome, I am working on using the rotary part building bodies and it makes things easier and the flies look better to me. Helped my son tye some #8 wooly buggers last night piece of cake. JohnP halcyon 04-26-2002, 04:50 PM I can attest to the quality of the Regal, and Dyna-King vises. Never liked the Renzetti's, had one and always regreted spending money to get it. As for true rotary. It is not necessary now or ever for what you plan on tying. As another has pointed out you only really need to be able to turn the hook so you can work on the bottom or sides without repositioning the hook in the jaws. All of the mentioned vises will do that. Try the various vises and determine what type of hook lockup mechanism is best for you. The Regal is the easiest and has the hook holding power all other vises are measured against. The Dyna-Kings hold hooks as well as the Regal and once the thrust cone is adjusted will work for several sizes of hooks without additional adjustment. The adjustment is easy and quick. As far as using your vise to rotate epoxy while it cures - most folks don't want to sit and turn the vise for 5 to 20 minutes per fly and opt instead for an inexpensive turner which allows them to continue tying and rotate 6 or more flies at once. This is not a reason to purchase any vise or style of vise in my opinion. At $99 the Dyna-King Kingfisher is argueably the best value on the market at the moment. The Regal rotary is argueably the finest rotating, but not true rotary, vise made. The bottom line however, is that YOU must be pleased with the vise you use. Not only how well it holds hooks, but how it looks, and feels to you. Like all personal tools it must function well and please its owner. Smcdermott 04-26-2002, 08:27 PM The wind in Providence was howling in the wrong direction for a beginning right handed caster this evening so I convinced the girlfriend to go on a road trip. I headed down to Bears Den and picked up a vise. I decided to go with the Renzetti Traveler with the cam lock. The regal was nice as well but for $30 more and not true-rotary I decided against it. Thank you all for the valuable input. It really helped in weighing the options. Hopefully I can stumble my way through a half decent fly this weekend and use it on a Sunday afternoon trip. I am really looking forward to catching a fish on something I created. I can only imagine that it must be a great feeling.

Bobby Farnham stapled Eriah Hayes' head into the glass about six minutes into the third period tonight and a little bit of a line brawl broke out. Alex Grant squared off with heavyweight Nick Petrecki and Alex Stalock was out of his net and getting involved, clearly hoping Jeff Zatkoff would do the same.
At that point, it occurred to me that this wasn't exactly the type of game the WBS Penguins would want to be playing given the circumstances, them not playing for much as far as the standings go and Worcester having already been eliminated from playoff contention.
The people I talked to after the game — coach John Hynes, Riley Holzapfel and Warren Peters — agreed that this wasn't the kind of game the Penguins wanted to play, but not because of the rough stuff. They were fine with that. They were more upset about giving up a shorthanded goal in the final two minutes and generally playing a mediocre game, losing 4-2 to end a seven-game winning streak.
Hynes didn't care for a pair of turnovers on a late power play that led to Freddie Hamilton's tie-breaking shorthanded goal on a two-on-one with 1:54 to play. He thought the Penguins were good at times, but soft at others.
Adam Payerl snapped a 32-game goal drought when he scored on his own rebound in the first five minutes. Riley Holzapfel hit the 20-goal mark for the first time in his five-year pro career when he tied it 2-2 on the rebound of a Brian Dumoulin shot in the third.
A key juncture came early in the third. Worcester's Sena Acolatse knocked Peters down with a clear cross-check that referee Jean Hebert didn't call. The Sharks went down the ice and Adam Comrie picked a corner to make it 2-1 at the six-minute mark.
Now the possibility the Penguins could slip to the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs isn't as remote as it was before tonight. It could happen if the Penguins lose tomorrow and Portland wins tomorrow against Connecticut and Sunday against Bridgeport. I wouldn't bet on that happening, but it's not the longest of long shots either.
Does it really matter? Probably a little. The sixth seed will probably get Syracuse and the fifth seed will probably get Binghamton in the first round. Syracuse's roster looks a little more dangerous than Binghamton's right now, but it's not like either would be an easy out for the Penguins. I think Hynes is more concerned with getting his team back to its consistent best than he is seeding right now.
One personnel note before I go. Derek Nesbitt played, making his Penguins debut. He found some open space to get off his one-timer a couple of times, but Worcester blocked the shots. He said he was a little rusty after not playing for two weeks and that he made a few systems mistakes but felt better as the game went on.
Bye for now,
