partitioning problem
I have purchase new hp laptop with hard drive 320gb. There is two partition, that contain windows and recovery. I want partitioning of C almost 100gb. while partitioning there is problem, "C" is shrink to make unallocated volume .when this unallocated volume is used to make new drive, the problem persist showing that :
"The operation you selected will convert the selected disk to dynamic disk. if you convert the disk to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed operating system from any volume on the disk (except the current boot volume). are you sure you want to continue?"..... when i click yes.... another window appear showing that...
"Dynamic disk are not supported by this operating system or server configuration . dynamic disks are not supported on clusters."
how ever my all disks are labelled as "BASIC". please help me and guide me with the proper procedure

Do not convert to Dynamic!
This prompt occurs because you already have four primary partitions. You'll need to convert one to Logical which can be sub-divided into as many other partitions as there are remaining drive letters. Use free Partition Wizard bootable CD. Free Download Magic Partition Manager Software - Partition Wizard Online
You do not want to convert to Logical your System Reserved, Win7, or Recovery partitions.
Best to post back a screenshot of your full Disk management drive map and listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu, so we can advise you better. Tell us what is on each partition.

here are the partitions and i hope they are self explanatory....
c drive contains the windows
d drive has the recovery
the other two are recovery and system.......
tell me what to do now with these drives how can i make my unallocated prt into a E drive where ican store my data
|My System Specs

Since your System Active boot files are on the System Partition and not Win7, you can convert the Win7 partition to Logical Extended so that additional Logical partitions can be added.
Backup your files and a Win7 backup image, make your Recovery Disks from HP Recovery in the All Programs list. Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
Now download and burn to CD free Partition Wizard bootable CD, rightclick Win7 partition>Modify>Convert to Logical, OK.
Now you can rightclick on the Unallocated Space to Create New Logical partition, OK, Apply all Steps.
The only other choice to convert to Logical so you can add more partitions is Tools but this would require moving the Recovery partition intact to the left to access the Unallocated Space. This could result in Recovery losing it's Windows functionality to make Recovery Disks or run from it's hotkey during bootup.

can u please explain it again? a bit more detialed and in a layman launguage.im new to computers and i did not understan what u posted.please im not joking but seriously saying i didnt get what you said.pleae be kind enough and expalin me in a way that i can do step by step. thanks dear

You can only have four Primary Partitions, which you already have.
In order to have another partition, it must be another type partition called Logical Extended. Once you convert one of the Primary partitions to a Logical Extended partition, you can add as many other partitions as you want (and space allows).
The only partition which can be converted is the Win7 partition. This is because its boot files are on the partition named "System" which cannot be converted for that reason. The Recovery Partition cannot be converted or it will not run in case you need to restore your computer to factory condition from boot. And the HP Tools partition has no space to expand without moving the Recovery Partition, which can't be safely done.
To convert Win7 partition use free Partition Wizard bootable CD from the link provided. Burn the CD using ImgBurn at 4x speed, or Windows Image Burner built into Win7.
Boot the CD, Rightclick the Win7 partition to Modify>Convert to Logical, click OK. Then create the new data partition as a logical partition, making it NTFS Logical with a letter, click OK, click Apply all steps.
This is a safe operation but it is always wisest when partitioning to back up your files and, if you want, a Win7 backup image so you can start over if necessary. And you should make your HP Recovery Disks anyway at All Programs>Recovery Manager>Recovery Disk Creation.

i dont have a dvd/cd rom in my netbook so where do i save the back up ?
secondly there are many versions of wizards....which one i should install? i have windows 7 starter
thirdly is it poosible to make up a back up and use the wizard tool from usb rather than burning it on dvd?

W 7 64-bit Ultimate
Hello dumborambo, welcome to Seven Forums!
Make back-ups of any data you need to save before you attempt this, I will not be responsible if you lose data using this method, though it worked flawlessly for me.
I just tried this in Windows 7 instead of booting the disk like we always suggest.
Install the "Home Edition" Partition Wizard program from this link below to Windows 7.
Partition Wizard Free Home Edition
Here's what I started with just like your situation.
click to enlargeStart the program and right click the Windows 7 partition to highlight/select it.
Then click "Modify" then "Set as Logical" then in the lower left pane Operations Pending click "Apply" then "Restart Now" as you can see it says something about resize but just ignore that bit and click restart.
You will get this "Boot Mode" pending changes dialog box, just let it complete and do the restarts it needs.
This is what you will have when it finishes.

Vista x64 / 7 X64
With all apps. that flip into boot time mode - there is a slight danger they will stop.
Always have the bootable media to hand , just in case.
Those with glorified mobile phones will need to make a bootable usb stick for safety.
If you have a notebook - you are lucky enough to have 32 bit windows7 - that means it is easier to make pe3 media with apps. - e.g PW included.

Two New Partners Address Robust Growth of Cloud-Based Contact Center Marketplace
Two New Partners Address Robust Growth of Cloud-Based Contact Center Marketplace
PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 14, 2012) - Echopass Corporation announced today at SpeechTEK 2012, that it has added two new partners to the company's EchoPlace partner network, Empirix and SimpliCTI. The new partners join over 30 other certified EchoPlace partners in the program, reflecting the breadth of Echopass in serving the demanding requirements of its client base and the robust growth of the enterprise market for cloud-based contact center solutions. EchoPlace is the largest cloud-based technology partner network focused on the contact center industry.
Through EchoPlace, enterprise clients can adopt an evolutionary path that allows for the integration of existing assets with the Echopass platform. These critical assets can be integrated with new cloud-based services to offer a differentiated customer experience, greater agent productivity and lower costs, with the confidence of comprehensive Echopass support and solution validation.
SpeechTEK 2012 is being held August 13 - 15 at the New York Marriott Marquis in New York City.
Empirix Solutions Enrich End-to-End System Performance
Echopass continues to enhance service monitoring tools for its clients with the addition of an extensive set of world-class solutions from Empirix. The first implementation within the Echopass cloud-based contact center, Empirix OneSight, provides comprehensive, centralized performance monitoring for multichannel contact centers operations including voice response, queuing, and routing to customer service representatives. Empirix OneSight measures voice, video and data quality in a single solution and combines both passive and active monitoring techniques to proactively detect network and system issues before they may impact customer interactions and service. Empirix solutions enable improved business performance by predicting the end user's communications experience, from end-to-end. With Empirix OneSight provided through Echopass, clients can ensure peak level performance and predict the smartest actions to take in order to improve business processes, troubleshoot issues and delight customers.

"Echopass has a well deserved reputation for providing the highest end-to-end service levels in the industry.

SimpliCTI Deepens CRM Integration
Echopass clients continue to seek optimization of agent performance by enabling seamless integration of enterprise systems that support customer interactions. SimpliCTI helps enterprise contact centers achieve success by providing a deeper level of integration with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. SimpliCTI has developed and built an enhanced and unique CRM Cloud Connector that Echopass is providing with integration to salesforce.com. While Echopass and salesforce.com are long-standing technology partners, the new SimpliCTI Cloud Connector enables a much broader and richer set of tools and deeper integration to the salesforce.com environment.
SimpliCTI is a Salesforce AppExchange partner, providing CTI platform connectors delivering pre-established bi-directional and real-time integration. With the SimpliCTI Cloud Connector, agents can seamlessly share information pertinent to voice calls between systems while fully leveraging the capabilities of both the Echopass EchoContact agent desktop application and salesforce.com systems. For example, the automatic screen pop of customer data delivered to the agent allows each contact center agent to automatically access a customer's detailed information in the salesforce.com database and assist with providing real-time, personalized and focused service based on the information.
"The combination of Echopass' market leading cloud-based services, the breadth of salesforce.com applications, and SimpliCTI's robust integration solution now brings a new level of enhanced customer experience and agent performance improvements previously unavailable to the large enterprise contact center market," said Bruce Calhoon, President of SimpliCTI. "We're pleased to work with these two cloud-based market leaders and continue to expand the offering of packaged deep solutions to solve today's customer interaction needs."
Continuing Growth of EchoPlace
"We are very pleased to welcome both Empirix and SimpliCTI to the EchoPlace partner network," said Echopass Chief Sales and Partner Officer Karl Holzthum. "Both of these new partners enable Echopass to extend our award-winning market differentiation and innovation through integrations that our enterprise clients expect and require."
EchoPlace partners are certified by Echopass, with applications proven in both test and live environments.

I didn't watch Sarah yesterday, sniff....I was begged to come to work and then in the evening D had a basketball game. Sigh.. I need a PVR!
Love the room though. Love the modern touches to the mid-century furniture! Love how Sarah and Tommy have such a versatile approach to decorating.
I also want to say how much I love your posts. They are so beautifully and tastefully put together. Wish I had half the style as you!

I really liked this episode as well- loved all the mid-century furniture and I thought the banquet was a brilliant use of space in the dining area. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the lightbox art- I just didn't think it worked in that space. I loved loved that pendant light though- so fab!

Gorgeous space! The zebra rug caught my eye immediately, what a great idea to sow two together! I love Sarah's work. I am not a fan of the light box though, it looks too much like a TV to me =) The pendant light is out of this world, go Egypt!!

Some people will go all-American with apple pies and strawberry shortcakes, but you can't find a dessert that's more appropriate for the 4th of July than ice cream! If there's one thing you want to find Independence from on a hot summer day, it's your oven. Ice cream is cool, it's easy to throw together into a yummy treat and it's colorful! Never was incorporating the red, white and blue into your dessert so easy. Vanilla, raspberry and blackberry ice cream. Patriotic sprinkles. Pop rocks -- bang, the sky is the limit!
Presenting, 7 Cool Ice Cream recipes, all using a red, white and blue theme, to help you show your true culinary colors:
1. Red, white and blue ice cream sandwiches. All you need is vanilla, raspberry and blackberry ice cream, a little shortbread and some pop rocks to make you guests feel like they have fireworks in their mouth!
2. Red, white and blue ice cream cone cupcakes. Well, technically these are fake ice cream cones, courtesy of the delightful blog Love From the Oven. The ice cream is actually frosting, which is perfect for the little ones because more of the treat will end up in their mouths than melted all over the deck.
3. Red, white and Blue ice cream cake. This recipe calls for three layers of ice cream and sherbet frozen together with layers of Oreo cookie crumbs. Also includes recipes to make the sorbet from scratch for the extra ambitious.
4. Red, white and blue ice cream sandwich cake. From Emeril Lagasse, a slightly more complicated recipe for sophisticated guests using a lemon cake, macerated berries and scoops of vanilla. Well worth the effort!
5. Red, white and blue ice cream sundaes. Pureed berries give this parfait its patriotic flair, so easy to just whip together at the last minute.
6. Red, white and blue ice cream pie. Refrigerator pies don't get simpler or better than this. Featuring a pre-made graham cracker crust and lots of berries, this blue-colored pie is a star!
7. Red, white and blue granola parfaits. Don't be scared -- this recipe uses balsamic vinegar over vanilla ice cream and berries. Don't judge it till you try it. It's an amazing combo -- but maybe save this one for the adults.
Happy Fourth of July!

This month, Geoffrey Warner Studio introduced the Owl Perch Stool and the Owl Bar Stool. See and test Your seat on these new Stools at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, ME September 21-23. These new Owl products are a direct response to customers asking for taller stools for kitchens, offices, and family craft areas.

Both stools are designed with the ergonomic Owl Seat–available in cherry or walnut. The postural support holes relieve spine tension and allows sitting for hours without fatigue.
When asked about the colors for the Owl Perch, Geoffrey Warner explained "Our colors are inspired by Nanne Kennedy's wonderful seacolors yarn –and we enjoy bringing lighthearted humor and out-of-the-box thinking to everything we do!" The Owl Perch base is available in six colors: Foggy Morning Green, Her Eye's in Blue, Night Owl Black, Lobstah Orange, Tropical Blue and Big Smile Red.

This week, Geoffrey Warner Studio was buzzing with the creation of two Live Edge Sofa Tables. Constructed of fine walnut, these two book-match tables measured 60 in x 16-18 in x 29 in.
Geoff used European Walnut for the tops and American Walnut for the bases. The knee braces not only add a beautiful design element, but also make the tables incredibly strong. Geoff used mortise & floating tenon joinery throughout the tables. Watch the table assembly….and start dreaming of the perfect live edge piece for your home!

Ever since I was little Fourth of July has always battled with Christmas as my favorite holiday. Although it's hard to compete with waking up to dozens of presents, my family consistently dubbed The Fourth as the ultimate day of celebration. Unlike Christmas or Thanksgiving, which were usually reserved for immediate or extended family, on The Fourth anyone and everyone could come over. The grill turned out an endless supply of finger food, I'd make new friends with whatever kids happened to show up, and more likely than not it was hot enough that all day could be spent running in and out of the ocean. On top of my hometown's quintessentially American Fourth of July parade, my dad would set off our personal fireworks show. If I was lucky, I got to watch it from an inner tube in the ocean, which I always thought was just about the coolest thing.
This year I was in the city and on The Cape for The Fourth, and while it's hard to compete with those childhood memories, there's also something special about getting to enjoy such an important holiday in an urban environment. You fully realize just how many people are celebrating alongside you, and if that doesn't stir up some serious patriotism, I don't know what will.

ACTION ALERT: Vote Scheduled on Bell Deregulation Bill
A Second Look at NetAction's Security Survey Results and Microsoft Comments
About NetAction Notes
* * * Circulate this alert until February 27, 2002 * * *
A bill that would eliminate key consumer protections in telecommunications is scheduled for a floor vote on February 27, 2002, in the House of Representatives. NetAction is urging Internet users to contact their House representative today to urge a "no" vote on H.R. 1542, the Internet Freedom and Broadband Deployment Act of 2001. The bill poses a threat to the continued deployment of affordable broadband and dial-up Internet services, both of which are crucial to bridging the digital divide. In addition, state regulators have warned that the bill could exacerbate the decline in service quality that consumers have experienced under deregulation. (See: http://www.naruc.org/tauzin_dingell.pdf.)
H.R. 1542 would free the four remaining Bell phone monopolies -- SBC Communications, Verizon, BellSouth and Qwest Communications International -- from their obligation to open their networks to competitors. Rep. Billy Tauzin of Louisiana, who co-authored H.R. 1542 with Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, is an unabashed Bell supporter.
One of the key consumer protections that Congress included in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was the requirement that the Bells open their local phone markets to competition before they are allowed into the long distance markets. This requirement is the only incentive the Bells have to treat their customers and competitors fairly. H.R. 1542 would waive this requirement for long distance data markets, giving the Bells control of the nation's telecommunications and technology infrastructure and threatening the future deployment of both broadband and dial-up Internet access, as well as of competitive telephone service. The result for consumers would be less choice, lower quality service and higher prices for everything from basic phone service to Internet access.
H. R. 1542 will not promote competition.
The Bells sat on DSL technology for years, deploying it widely only after competition developed.
H.R. 1542 does not ensure that broadband services will be available
in rural communities.
Despite Tauzin's rhetoric, there is nothing in the bill that would require the Bells to deploy broadband service in rural areas. In fact, the Bells have been selling off their rural assets as fast as possible in recent years.
The Bells can't be trusted to offer broadband service if the
current restrictions are lifted.
In the 1990s the Bells promised to deploy high-speed fiber optic networks in exchange for relaxed rate-of-return regulation. But instead of delivering on those promises, they pocketed the profits.
H.R. 1542 will make it more difficult to bridge the digital divide.
With less competition, the cost of Internet access will increase, making the service even less affordable to low-income consumers.
H.R. 1542 will undercut efforts to address consumer complaints
about declining service quality.
According to the National Association of Utility Regulatory Commissioners (NARUC), H.R. 1542 could also lead to additional litigation over state jurisdiction.
News reports indicate a floor vote is scheduled for February 27, 2002. Calls to all House members are urgently needed.
All House members can be contacted through the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121. Or visit http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.html to look up your Representative's direct House or District phone number. (If you don't know who represents your district, the site includes a zip code search tool to locate your Representative.)
Tauzin's claim that allowing the Bells into long distance data markets before local phone markets are truly competitive is necessary to ensure widespread deployment of broadband, particularly in rural communities, is an old ploy. In fact, it's one the Bells have used before.
In June 2000 NetAction released a comprehensive report describing how the Bells had broken the promises they made to regulators in the 1990s to deploy high-speed fiber optic networks. (See http://www.netaction.org/broadband/bells.) In many instances the promises to deploy fiber optic networks were made in exchange for relief from important pro-consumer regulations. In many states where regulators went along with these schemes, traditional rate-of-return regulation - intended to protect consumers from profit-gouging - was replaced with incentive or price cap regulation.
The new regulatory schemes gave the Bells more profits, ostensibly to be used to build the promised fiber optic networks. But instead of building the networks, the companies simply pocketed the higher profits. This is one of the reasons that the four remaining Bell monopolies are among the most profitable companies in the nation.
If the Bells had made a good faith effort to meet the conditions spelled out in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, we might already have vigorous competition in both broadband and local phone service. But the Bells chose instead to stonewall competition by engaging in protracted legal and regulatory maneuvers, and by lobbying Congress to change the law. Changing the Act now would reward the Bells for failing to follow the rules.
In addition to threatening the future availability of affordable broadband and dial-up Internet access, H.R. 1542 could lead to higher phone bills. The bill broadly preempts state regulators, leaving the states with only limited authority over voice phone services.
Because of problems with NetAction's list software, many of our readers did not receive the last issue of NetAction Notes (No. 80, published Jan. 29, 2002). The issue included the results of our survey of computer security practices in nonprofit organizations, and a pointer to NetAction's comments on the Microsoft antitrust settlement. Now that our list is working again, we wanted to provide those pointers again for readers who missed the last issue.
Our report on the survey results, "Computer Practices in Nonprofit Organizations," is available at: http://netaction.org/security/.
Despite the growing importance of computers to nearly every aspect of nonprofit operations, our survey found substantial room for improvement, especially in maintaining the security of confidential and/or sensitive files, user work habits, and disaster planning.
Many of the respondents acknowledged the need to improve their security practices. When asked to identify specific security issues their organization needs to address, about two-thirds of the survey respondents listed user work habits and disaster planning, about half listed data backups and encryption, and about one third listed virus protection and firewalls.
NetAction's comments on the proposed Microsoft antitrust settlement are at: http://www.netaction.org/msoft/doj-comments.html. They are also included in the listing of major comments published recently by the U.S. Department of Justice, at: http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/ms-major.htm.
NetAction and Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) filed joint comments warning that consumers will have to make substantial investments in new hardware and software in order to benefit from the terms of the proposed settlement of the Microsoft antitrust case. NetAction and CPSR argued that the proposal is not in the public interest and urged Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to either reject the proposed settlement or order additional proceedings to eliminate its many ambiguities.

On 15 February 2017, Indian space agency created history; launched 104 satellites in one go. This historical moment in space history tells the beginning of a real space race in Asia and which eventually surpass the Cold War space race. However, this also germinates an important question; does India have a space doctrine or it is simply a show of technology without a doctrine.
The space doctrines of major space-faring nations like the United States, Russia and China recognize space for socioeconomic development and space as another medium of warfare besides land, sea and air. Their navigation, remote sensing and communication satellites are both for peaceful civilian and military purposes, and their space doctrines have guided them to explore space for dual-use. India is an emerging space power in South Asia with global aspiration. In achieving such status, space program has become a top political priority in India and it is following the course of the major spacefaring states, but without an officially declare space doctrine.
Space technology is dual-use technology, which applications can be used for peaceful as well as for military purposes. Ajey Lele, a senior research fellow of Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) believes that India does not have an official space doctrine, which specifically highlights whether Indian space program is exclusively for civilian purposes or there are some other dimensions of its space program. Lele continues to suggest that the entire Indian space agenda is focused on socioeconomic development. However, he argued that "from military point of view space is getting used globally for the purposes of communication, remote sensing and navigation. This is globally accepted activity and is not violating any treaty regime. In regards to India using space in assistance of military is fine."
Michael Krepon, the co-founder of the Stimson Center, suspects that India does not even have a military space doctrine. The civil side may not have one, either. Krepon pointed that Indian space endeavors are "just to pursue technologies, increase capabilities, and make them applicable to domestic and developmental needs."
Rajeswari Rajagopalan, senior fellow at Observer Research Foundation India, writes that a general consensus emerged in India of not declaring its space doctrine. On the contrary, Rajagopalan believes that India's space policy should be outline as it "would be an effective tool of communication for both internal and external audiences."
The Indian space odyssey suggests that Indian political leadership was well aware with strategic importance ofits space program for its dual-use, right from its inception. Other than socioeconomic development through space program, India also identified the strategic importance of the space for military use.
Despite the fact that India does not have an officially declare space doctrine, Indian Army Doctrine, which was released in 2004, briefly talked about future war which is likely to be characterized by "deeper and wider combat zones due to increased reach of integrated firepower and surveillance resources including space-based systems." The document shows some glimpses of Indian space doctrinal thinking that the future war is most likely to take place at higher frontiers.
India space program has largely focused to develop a state-of-the-art "command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, information, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4I2RS) systems which would result in the expansion of the battle-space and compression of the time dimension."For such a system, space is believed to be the only medium from where such capabilities can effectively operate and provide real-time intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance of the adversary." To emerge as a space power and counter any threat to its security, which India believes are largely emanating from Pakistan and China, space-based C4I2RS is necessary for India to maintain its declaratory credible minimum deterrence.
In the recent volume of Astropolitics, a journal of international repute, some of the major contours of India space doctrine discussed by a prominent Indian space expert, Gurbachan Singh, a scholar at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad. Singh writes that India does not have a declared space doctrine nor "an articulated space policy." He argued that it would be interesting to note that when "man at the helm" comes up with a declared doctrine to deal with its growing space activities. Furthermore, India's space program is largely governed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in coordination and collaboration with Indian Space Commission, Department of Space and Indian Space Research Organization (IRSO). However, all these government entities have yet to declare a well-versed and articulated space doctrine.
Singh proposed five Indian space pledges as Panchsheela, in order for "setting forth its policy stance and mission objectives presently and for the future." These include compliance with space law regime, no-first-use for aggressive military purposes, international cooperation, mitigation of space debris, addressing serious inadequacies in its national space law. Moreover, S. Chandrasekhar, who works at National Institute of Advanced Studies, believes that India's space strategy should "support a limited development program for ballistic missile defence (BMD) and anti-satellite (ASAT) missile." This is indeed a long-time endeavor of ISRO and other strategic organizations in India who would have to develop space-based assets which can assist India in support of their BMD system.
Interestingly, India has a declared nuclear doctrine but does not have a declared space doctrine. India is diversifying its missile program, developing shorter and longer range missiles, and at the same time, Indian ASAT missiles in future could be spin-off effect of its under develop ICBM capability.
In conclusion, India aspires to be mainstreamed in the global nuclear order. It has applied for nuclear supplier group (NSG) membership and is making efforts on diplomatic, economic and political fronts to achieve it. India became a member of Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and also signed Hague Code of Conduct (HCoC), which mainly deals with reduction of national missile inventory thatany state can hold.Besides that India has ratified four UN treaties but still not become a party to the Moon treaty.
India is increasing the size and scope of its space assets. Till 2016, India has twenty-nine operational space based assets, according to Union of Concerned Scientists and it has launched eighty-eight objects in space. However, it would be interesting, if India continues to compete in the space race without declaring its space doctrine or the world would only see an increase in its space capabilities without having an articulate space doctrine.

(Submitted on 30 May 2017)
River deposits are one of the main lines of evidence that tell us that Mars once had a climate different from today, and so changes in river deposits with time tell us something about how Mars climate changed with time. In this study, we focus in on one sedimentary basin - Aeolis Dorsa - which contains an exceptionally high number of exceptionally well-preserved river deposits that appear to have formed over an interval of >0.5 Myr. We use changes in the river deposits' scale with stratigraphic elevation as a proxy for changes in river paleodischarge. Meander wavelengths tighten upwards and channel widths narrow upwards, and there is some evidence for a return to wide large-wavelength channels higher in the stratigraphy. Meander wavelength and channel width covary with stratigraphic elevation. The factor of 1.5-2 variations in paleochannel dimensions with stratigraphic elevation correspond to ∼2.6-fold variability in bank-forming discharge (using standard wavelength-discharge scalings and width-discharge scalings). Taken together with evidence from a marker bed for discharge variability at ∼10m stratigraphic distances, the variation in the scale of river deposits indicates that bank-forming discharge varied at both 10m stratigraphic (102 - 106 yr) and ∼100 m stratigraphic (103 - 109 yr) scales. Because these variations are correlated across the basin, they record a change in basin-scale forcing, rather than smaller-scale internal feedbacks. Changing sediment input leading to a change in characteristic slopes and/or drainage area could be responsible, and another possibility is changing climate (±50 W/m2 in peak energy available for snow/ice melt).

**Impact of Broken Windows Policing on Homicide Rates Varies by Precinct**
New York, NY, July 25, 2012 – The Research and Evaluation Center at John Jay College of Criminal Justice released a report titled Homicide by Neighborhood: Mapping New York City's Violent Crime Drop. The authors, Dr. Preeti Chauhan, Professor of Psychology at the College and faculty research fellow with the Center, and Lauren Kois, a doctoral student at the Graduate Center, City University of New York and research consultant with the Center, explore variations in homicide rates among New York City (NYC) neighborhoods throughout the 1990s. This period's dramatic crime decline is a topic of interest among criminology scholars and policy-makers, yet researchers' attempts to pinpoint causes of the crime decline remain equivocal.
Two factors frequently identified as related to the crime drop were included for study: misdemeanor ("broken windows") policing and crack cocaine markets. The authors measured these two factors in relation to the number of gun-related homicides per precinct. Geo-spatial analyses identified variations in homicide reductions, misdemeanor policing, and crack cocaine markets across neighborhoods. In this report, the authors find that that a quarter of the City's police precincts were important in driving down the overall rate of city-level homicides. Contrary to theoretical expectations, an increase in misdemeanor policing and a decrease in crack cocaine were not consistently related to a decrease in homicide rates and there were variations across neighborhoods.
"It is interesting that some precincts actually experienced a decrease in homicide rates and a decrease in misdemeanor policing. This suggests that other factors were at play in lowering homicide rates in these precincts," said Dr. Chauhan.
The authors speculate that a few select precincts (outliers) may be driving results in prior studies. In addition, the authors suggest that future research should examine whether the results of their study maintain when highly influential precincts are removed. Chauhan stated "if removing one or two precincts from the multivariate analyses changes the results of the overall study, then these variables are not protecting the City as a whole from crime, and the policy implications for the City could be quite different."

The study was made possible by the generous support of the May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. and Susan and Jack Rudin of New York City.

I hate this phrase: Zero-Moment of Truth (ZMOT). It's advertising-speak of the worst sort.
On the other hand, I love this quote:
When consumers hear about a product today, their first reaction is 'Let me search online for it.'And so they go on a journey of discovery: about a product, a service, an issue, an opportunity...
which aptly summarizes the challenge facing wineries (and lots of other businesses as well) today.
Google is promoting a free 75-page ebook called, not suprisingly, The Zero Moment of Truth, which you can download as a PDF. Chapters 1 (Changing the Rulebook), 2 (The New Mental Model), and 6 (How to Win at ZMOT) are the most useful, but it's a quick read (you can safely skip the foreword, though).
Chapter 6 offers 7 steps for "winning at ZMOT" (another cringe-worthy phrase), which I hope will entice you to take a look at the details:
- Put Someone in Charge
- Find Your Zero Moments
- Answer the Questions People Are Asking
- Optimize for ZMOT
- Be Fast
- Don't Forget Video
- Jump In!
Smart winery marketers will download a copy of this book and think deeply about how it applies to selling more of their wines. The rest of you can proceed with business-as-usual.

Th greatest thing about article marketing is it costs you nothing to get started, and you can be promoting yourself within minutes. Hundreds of thousands of web masters are using this form of promotion every day, so if you're not involved then you're missing out on free traffic to your web site.
Promoting yourself
When you write articles for article web sites you're promoting yourself and your knowledge. An article is an advert that lets people know you're an expert in your chosen niche so they will then want to read more about what you have to say.
You get a resource box at the bottom of your article that you can use a bit of self promotion to encourage people to click through to your web site or blog.
The types of articles you can write
The Tips List
Tips lists are great ways to write article and get them read. If someone is looking for information on a subject and they see your article heading telling them about tips on their subject they will read your article.
If someone wants a leaner body, and you have an article "7 tips for a leaner body" you'll have their attention.
The "How To" Articles
Just like the tips lists' articles, "How To's" grab someone's attention if they are looking for information on a subject.
With a "how to" article you're going to get teh attention of someone who wants the answer to a specific problem.
"How To Get A Leaner Body" will answer questions that people are searching for.
Once you start giving people the answers to their problems you'll attract more visitors to your web site.
Review Articles
Review articles are another great way to give yourself and your web sites attention. You could write a review on the latest product out that you think your readers will benefit from. Or you could write a review of something you want people to avoid. Either way, you're helping them out.
People are always looking for information on the latest products for sale, and web masters like putting news on their web sites. Your articles will get used more by web masters if you write compelling news stories, and this gets you more backlinks.
These are all teh most popular forms of articles you'll find. They answe specific questions, and your honesty will build trust with your readers.
Keyword research
Keyword research is an important part of your article marketing. Your keywords are what helps you get found in the search engines, and the search engines are what bring visitors to your articles an your web sites.
You're looking for keywords that aren't too competitive. if you're subject is fitness then you're going to be in competition with millions of other web pages. But if you're subject is fitness for the over forties, then you'll cut your competition down.
The less competition you have, the more chance you have of getting your articles ta the top of the search results. This means more free traffic for you, which leads to more sales of your products.
There is an excellent free keyword tool here - Wordtracker free keyword tool
Wordtracker get their information from smaller search engines so you should multiply yoru results by 10 to give you a search figure that Google gets every day.
Your Article Headline
The headline is the most important part of your article. This is what everyone will see first, and this will get them to read what you have to say. You want your readers to know you have the answers they are searching for, and they should know this just by reading your headline.
Your keyword that you have just researched should be in the headline, as the headline is a very strong part of your article in the eyes of the search engines.
The first paragraph
The first paragraph of your article is what builds the desire in your reader. You need to follow your headline up with a paragraph that will keep them reading the rest of your article.
Backup your article headline by letting your reader know you have the answer to their problem. This is what keeps them reading to the end of your article.
Your paragraphs
When writing your articles keep your para graphs short. Long paragraphs make your articles seem long and boring ( even if they aren't ), and big blocks off text can put readers off straight away.
Use subheading as well between your paragraphs. Most people scan the text when reading online, and sub-headings create stopping points because they catch the readers eyes.
The last line/paragraph
When you finish your article you want to leave the reader satisfied. You don't have to give away the farm in your article, you want to use it as a teaser for your knowledge so they want to read more about what you have to say.
A short summery of your article, and how the reader will benefit from your advice is a good way to end it.
The resource box
The resource box is a paragraph you can write at the end of your article, and this is where you can give yourself a bit of a sales pitch. You can add 2 to 3 inks as well that lead to your web site or blog.
The resource box also gets used when someone else publishes your article on their site. This gives your site or blog some link juice, and then your site will start moving up the rankings in the search engines.
The links in your resource box should have the keywords you want the page they're pointing to rank for in the search engines.
An excellent example of this is the "Click here" test. If you type click here in Google the number one spot is Adobe Reader. This is because the page at number one spot has thousands of links pointing to it saying "click here."
Click here is what a lot of article writers put in their resource box so they are losing a ton of free search engine traffic because their pages are competing for the term "click here" instead of what they want to get ranked for.
So instead of "Click here for fitness tips" ( with click here being the link, you want to write something like, "For more information on fitness visit Fitness Tips ( with Fitness Tips being your link ).
That way your web page will start ranking for "fitness tips" instead of "click here."
How long should your article be
Article length is something a lot of people struggle with. They can be too long or too short. This means some don't answer any questions, and some answer the question in such a long way that the reader gets bored before the article has been fully read.
300 to 400 words is perfect for an article. This is more than enough to answer almost any question.

Here is a secret!! I am a screenshot junkie! I take lot of snapshots of portion of computer screen for any of the following reasons..
- I have to remember that stuff for future use.. (say I made some money transaction over internet, and bank website has provided me details about transaction confirmation.. I dont copy stuff and mail them or store them somewhere.. I just take a quick snapshot and save the JPG on the disk!)
- I like some website or software interface and want to share stuff with somebody! (I share such stuff a lot! I send snapshots through email attachments a lot)
- Though, this activity has been taken over by Mento now! And coolest stuff is, it posts the thumbnail and hyperlink on my WWW Activity Stream..
- I need to refer to something later on.. for research purpose.. (If I am just surfing internet and found something on interesting which I dont have time right now to do research on! I just take snapshot and put reference to it on my ToDo widget on desktop!)
Till now, I had been using Inbit's FullShot software (thanks to one of my friend who gifted it to me!) Its undoubtedly awesome piece of software for taking arbitrary screen snapshots! If you learn that software entirely, you increase significant percentage in productivity!
Main problems that I was facing with Fullshot was, snapshots taken on one machine were only on that machine.. Many a times, I had to remote into my office machine just to take a look at the damn snapshot that I took during office hours! I was looking for a solution that includes S+S model.. where I can integrate snapshots of all my machines (there are bunch of them that I work with regularly.. sometimes it becomes painful keeping things in synchronization!)
Before I got evernote into mainstream, I added my snapshot folder in Live Mesh profile so that all the snapshots on all the machines are synchronized! (Even before I got live mesh into mainstream, I had been using Windows Foldershare.. there is a lot of history associated with this dragon!)
But then, I got Evernote which is exactly what I wanted!! I moved all my snapshots into evernote (there are appx. 780 screenshots in my store increasing everyday!).. Here are advantages that I get using evernote over all my past systems!
- Add it once and get it everywhere! (No more synchronization issues.. Take snapshot on any machine and with just one click snapshot gets saved to evernote, which all other machines get automatically – of course, through evernote system!)
- Search within snapshot! (Would you believe it?? But, this is Evernote's Mastery!)
- Just imagine, I have taken snapshot of my bank confirming payment of my Mobile bill.. and after 15 days I have to refer to that confirmation again due to some issues.. now, I just search for my mobile number in evernote and that confirmation surfaces in matter of milliseconds!) It searches images like its a text stored in there!
- No computer access, dont worry, access it from Web Interface!!
- This is high relief for me.. Sometimes it happens, I am at somebody's home and need to access these snapshots quickly.. Its just a login away.. I login on evernote website and get access to all my snapshots along with search features, on the web!!
- I dont use Windows Mobile or iPhone right now, but evernote has mobile client as well!
- Storage : I am using free account from evernote as of now! which gives me 40 MB of uploads every month! (appx 100 snapshots every month = ~3 everyday!) If I am running out of this limit, I think I would be happy to pay for it!
- Screenshot Taking procedure is awesome!
- Evernote has a small tool called Universal Clipper which takes snapshot like charm! Not just it can take plain screenshot, It can also add it to the Evernote collection with just one click OR copy the clipped area to clipboard (as bitmap for pasting it in outlook email!) OR save it as external JPG! OR Mark it with various color pen provided by the tool (to highlight or something!).. In short, love this tool!
So, after a long time, I have Good bye Fullshot and welcome'd Evernote to my always running tool! Like they say, One needs to welcome change.. and Softwares are no exceptions to it!!
Stay tuned..

Today I have for you guys one of the Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat polishes! Sally Hansen is putting out 8 shades of crackle polish, they are supposed to hit stores in June but I've seen on a few blogs/twitter that people have already spotted the display at Walgreens!
Furschia Shock is the pink of the Sally Hansen Crackles, looks a lot like China Glaze Broken Hearted but it is SO much better. I didn't have any issues with getting this one to crack the way I would like it to unlike the China Glaze of the same color...which makes me very happy because I like pink crackle! The formula was much like all the other crackle polishes that have been coming out lately and it cracked well using both a thick and thin coat!
Strange enough, this seems to crack/shatter better over a top coat...you can see it in my last photo below. Not sure why that makes a difference but I personally like it better that way!
