A twin trek of Madmaheshwar and Rudranth in a space of eight days does leave one yearning for a break just to recoup and laze away some time. On 7.6.2011, after completing Rudranth trek and having a good brunch at Anusuya Lodge dhaba at Mandal, by noon, we took to the roads in our hired Maruti Alto.
We passed by Sagar about 5 km from Mandal and another 5 km ahead saw us at Gopeshwar. After reaching Gopeshwar along Gopeshwar- Chamoli road, there was a diversion to Pokhri, going up the hill for another 60 km. The rain which gave us some respite for last two days, once again caught up with us. The visibility on winding asphalt road was forty feet, rest covered with haze and rain clouds all along the road and the gorge. The clouds floating so close to us is no doubt a treat to watch but is a test for driving skills of the person on the wheel. Manjit Singh was extra cautious and we were on seat edge. We were looking forward to about a half a day's lazy break at Pokhri about which some information was available in travel books and net. This place had some importance during British rule in India, when they discovered this place as one of the finest hill stations in Garhwal.
We reached Pokhri around 1 pm amidst rain. The place on first look was hugely disappointing. It was no different from any other Uttarakhand hill town, but only much bigger and busier. We were looking for Bachan Home Stay as one of the possible locations to put up for the night, as per our information in net. No person with whom we inquired in this town seemed to have a clue about this place. We next tried to locate Red Hat Tourist Lodge, about which Sachin had picked up from some travel book. We located the place alright but it happened to be locked. Every body including the traffic cop advised us to travel another 29 km to Karnaprayag for the night's stay. Meanwhile, we located a seedy looking hotel, which we were told will have one room vacant around 2 pm. We had no option but take our lunch to pass some time at a restaurant which had some a mountain view. Sachin wanted vegetarian food and ordered samosas and sweets and Egg Chowmein for me. The manager heard my menu as Ek Chowmein and served a Veg Chowmein dish. After realizing his folly, he arranged an omlette to go with it, making it a new dish Omlette on Veg Chowmein! We were seated on top floor open space, with a shed above our head, overlooking hills, but nothing much could be seen though rain and fog. After lunch, we located Manjit Singh and told him to drive us to Karnaprayag, through the rain, saying goodbye to Pokhri.
The above happenings clearly showed that, there is some phenomenon called as Himalayan destiny. We were clearly not destined to stay at Pokhri and Himalayas opened yet another door for us to peek through. Thus doing justice to my blog headlines, we were on way to Karnaprayag.
Reaching Karnaprayag, once again we were looking for a place to stay. The GMVNL guest house was a good option. There was a room available in floor minus one, minus hot water as well. Since Sachin will have none of it, we crossed the bridge and went to the other side of the town and located a place right on hill slope overlooking Karnaprayag confluence. In Hotel Shri Krishna Palace, we got a room in floor minus two, a double room for Rs.1000/- per day.
The room pleased us no end. It had all the amenities like hot water, good ambience, clean linen and what struck to us funny was existence of both Indian style and western style WC in the same enclosure.
It was drizzling continuously, but that did not prevent us from coming out of the room into the open space which overlooks the Karnaprayag in totality from end to end. Such a location of hotel may not be found in any other hotels in this town. We were fortunate to have left Pokhri behind us and come to this awesome place. In the rain drenched landscape, the river looked all gray and menacing, flowing in between the hills from the distant end.
The confluence of rivers Alaknanda and Pindar named as Karnaprayag is seen in following frame.
The stepped ghat where puja is offered, with a temple on the up is in the next frame.
Next morning i.e. on 8.6.2011, we woke up and came out on the lawns across the railings overlooking the Karna Prayag. It was rainless day but some what cloudy on upper atmosphere, augured well for our long journey back to Haridwar. I came to ground zero at the canteen and found it not functioning with guys still sleeping. I came out of the hotel to look for a cup of tea in tea shop which had just opened. The shop fellow started the fire going for the day's first batch of tea. I ordered for my cup of tea and sauntered to the bridge overlooking the river confluence.
The hill top still had a lot of clouds and looked that it may rain any time.
Packing done, we started for a whole day's journey to Haridwar. We had a breakfast halt at a decent looking hotel cum restaurant called Shangrila Resorts at Raintoli near Rudraprayag. A big group of tourists doing Char Dham Yatra from South India were staying here and their cook was preparing puri – bhaji breakfast right inside the compound. We entered the restaurant and ordered breakfast which was really good. The hotel looked very attractive from outside as well.
Beyond Rudraprayag, it was not a smooth going. We came across a rock slide zone and found at least 50 vehicles and buses stranded on both sides of rock slide portion. A bull dozer was stationed to collect and dispose the rocks fallen on road. 'We were in for a long haul,' I thought. This was my first experience of watching rock slide actually happening in Garhwal hills, about which I read a lot. With nothing to do, I just kept my digicam and handycam busy to record the event.
The journey ahead upto Haridwar via Deoprayag, Kudiala, Shivpuri, was uneventful, more so because we were not much in mood to take any halts, except for an occasional cup of tea. The journey along the same route while on forward journey was really charming.

Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke in Adults
[2014 update]
Introduction to this self-study CME activity
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Ischemic heart disease accounts for 113 deaths per 100,000 population and cerebrovascular disease accounts for 39 deaths per 100,00, most of which are ischemic stroke. Patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), ischemic stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at appreciably higher risk for subsequent cardiac and cerebrovascular events and mortality. Several treatments and lifestyle changes for patients with IHD, ischemic stroke, or TIA have demonstrated large absolute risk reductions. However, a number of studies have shown that effective secondary prevention does not occur for many patients and that only some aspects of secondary prevention are performed for many other patients.
This guideline provides clinicians with an understanding and ability to implement a more comprehensive approach for secondary prevention of ischemic heart disease and stroke. It summarizes secondary prevention recommendations grouped by:
Lifestyle with Medication
- Blood pressure control
- Tobacco treatment
- Lipid management
- Diabetes management
- Depression screening
- Antiplatelet agents & anticoagulants
- b blockers in IHD
- Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers in IHD
- Pain control (NSAID caution)
- Immunization
Physical activity
Weight management
- Carotid endarterectomy or stenting for symptomatic lesions
- The key aspects of each prevention recommendation are summarized, operational information provided, and references provided to more detailed sources of information. The summary and elaboration will help health care professionals provide high quality care by assuring that secondary prevention is comprehensive and that highest risk conditions are priorities for management.
New aspects of care addressed in this update include:
- If ≤ 75 years old, prescribe high-intensity statin
- If > 75 years old. consider moderate-intensity statin.
- Now includes information on secondary prevention for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks, including tips on management of patients with atrial fibrillation and carotid stenosis.
- For non cardioembolic stroke, use antiplatelet (aspirin, copidogril, or aspirin+diperdamole). Aspirin + copidogril combination is not recommended.
New anticoagulants:
- For patients with atrial fibrillation, warfarin is no longer the only oral anticoagulant available.
- For stroke due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants are preferred over anti-platelets.
- Dabigtran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban are available options.
New antiplatelet agents. Ticagrelol can be used for ACS post-stent in place of clopidogrel as well as prasugrel in appropriate patients.
Antiplatelet choice:
- Recent ACS treated without angioplasty, in addition to aspirin add copidogril for up to 1 year.
- Post PCI, use dual antiplatelet (aspirin plus P2Y12 inhibitor) in consultation with cardiologist for up to 1 year depending on stent type and stent indication, whether ACS vs CAD For patients with stroke or stable IHD (no event in the last 12 months), can stop anti-platelet if patient is started on warfarin
Symptomatic carotid stenosis >70%: Surgery or stent plus medical management is recommended.
Participants in this CME activity will understand and be able to implement evidence-based cost-effective clinical strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic heart disease and stroke in adults.

the highest elevation skiing in Washington State
Runs start between 7,200' and 8,200' and our lowest pick ups are at 5,300'
Our location in the northeast corner of this range is a unique combination of longitude, latitude and altitude, giving us some of the finest snow conditions for heli-riding available anywhere. The terrain is an amazing potpourri of open bowls, steep glades and excellent tree skiing surrounded by immense granite cliffs and spires.
A true wilderness skiing experience in its 300,000 acre tenure.
From the "end of the road" in Mazama, Washington, we have quick access to a vast swath of excellent skiing and riding terrain.

QUARTERBACKS (2): Starter — Joe Flacco. Backup — Marc Bulger.
Flacco is starting his third straight season as the starter (only Kyle Boller has done that in Ravens' history). The hope is Flacco takes the step from a developing quarterback to a Pro Bowl one. He could throw for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns this season. Bulger is one of the top backups in the NFL and could be starting on other teams (like the Arizona Cardinals). The Ravens cut Troy Smith, which marks the first time since 2006 that the Ravens are carrying two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
RUNNING BACKS (4): Starters — RB Ray Rice, FB Le'Ron McClain. Backups — Willis McGahee, Jalen Parmele, Matt Lawrence (PUP).
Rice is considered one of the top five running backs in the NFL, and McClain has gone to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons. McGahee set career highs in touchdowns (14) and rushing average (5.0 yards per carry) last season. Parmele is the primary kickoff returner.

PARIS, Nov 30 (Reuters) - The rise in French property prices picked up pace in the third quarter, with the price of Paris apartments leading the charge as rock-bottom interest rates pushed the number of sales to an all-time high.
The French housing market has gathered strength in the last year and a half, after a gloomy four years which saw prices drop and the number of sales tumble following the introduction of new housing regulation and amid stubbornly high unemployment.
In the three months to end-September, house prices rose by 3.9 percent in France compared to the same period a year ago, gathering steam after increases of 3.1 percent and 2.5 percent in the previous two quarters, INSEE data showed.
The acceleration was most marked in Paris, where apartment prices jumped by 7.8 percent annually in the third quarter, compared with a 6.8 percent increase in the second quarter and 5.5 percent in the first three months of the year.
The number of sales in France also reached a record high of 952,000 in the twelve months to end-September, INSEE said.
The drop in interest rates brought about by the European Central Bank's bond-buying programme has meant French buyers have enjoyed ultra-low mortgage rates.
They were last at 1.55 percent in October on average compared with around 4 percent in early 2012, before the ECB's quantitative easing programme, according to Credit Logement data. (Reporting by Michel Rose; Editing by Leigh Thomas)

In the spring of 2012, Texas legislators implemented a new version of standardized testing for students. It's called the "STAAR" test and for some teachers, students and parents it's become quite a battle.
It's a battle over standards and whether or not every student should be held to the same one. STAAR stands for State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. The annual assessments include grades 3 through 8 and end of course exams for high school students.
Kids have anxiety because if they don't pass this test they don't pass to the next grade, and for High School Juniors that means no diploma.
"It makes me feel nervous and then like the night before you always get anxious," says High School Junior Madison Mayfield.
It's this anxiety that has parents at their wits end, to the point they have even started facebook pages for those against the STAAR test.
Cindy Mayfield is a frustrated parent who has gone as far as checking her child out of school because of the test. "Some years we do OK and then other years we take it two & three times and do summer school and have to plan vacations around summer school and stress about not being there for the tutoring and then going back in and take the test, so it's just been a very heavy burden," said Mayfield.
However the controversy still lies with the question...are the testing standards realistic for every student?
Kaydonna Wolfcale, a former teacher who has been to Washington DC, the state capital and testified before the house education committee says absolutely not! "The system is getting kids ready for the big STAAR test. There's no time to go back, there's no time to waste time. We're gonna learn multiplication, we're gonna learn division, we're gonna learn fractions and we're movin' on and there's just too much. And kids are just having breakdowns."
Parents seem to think the teachers or the school districts stress their children out during test time. However, school administrators tell us, we should talk to lawmakers. So that's exactly what we did. Our Texas legislature sets the bar for standardized testing, which is why we went straight to the source, our Senator for District 31 and Chairman for the House Education Committee, Kel Seliger.
"One of the things that troubles me about this is, people are saying we've got our test, next year it needs to be a harder test and harder test and harder test. It needs to be on the curriculum we're teaching and we need to see where our challenges are with kids and remediate those kids before we add more rigor to the test." "From a state perspective, we have very, very high expectations for those five million kids in public schools. They're gonna run this state in a very few years, ours should be a great system that seeks to improve and the way that you do that is you set down standards for performance," said Seliger.
This doesn't diminish the fact that students as young as 3rd grade are feeling distressed or in some cases...."left behind.''

REVIEW - Betty & Veronica: In Each Other's Shoes
In Each Other's Shoes sees Betty and Veronica in a bit of a tricky situation at Riverdale High. Due to a mix-up with the school ballots, the fashion-loving Veronica finds herself as editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, whereas Betty is out of her depth when she's elected to run the school's charity fashion show. Both girls help each other to get to grips with the basics of their new positions, but their friendship becomes strained due to the interference of a third party, making their responsibilities all the harder to bear.
Despite the closeness of the setting, most of the other main characters are pushed to the background, often not even having any input or importance in the story once it gets going. Kevin Keller, however, moved forwards into a fairly big role in this one - with another comment about his sexuality, one that actually means quite a lot when you read between the lines - again showing that Ambrose is not holding back with the potential Kevin has.
I was less impressed with this book, however. I couldn't really believe the way the girls acted with each other, at times acting more like young girls than the young women that they truly are. As is most likely predictable to anyone with even the smallest knowledge of Archie and its characters, Betty and Veronica fall out but reconcile towards the end, but to me it was too neat and they were too forgiving towards the third party I referenced earlier. The charity aspect of the fashion show was largely forgotten too, whereas I would have thought that for Betty it would have been the important thing.
I also felt that unlike the previous two books, there wasn't much of a message. There is an underlying vibe of "you must take responsibility if you seek it" or something similar, but it wasn't particularly powerful or even well thought out. The character that causes the issue in the first place never really takes responsibility, the character that exacerbates the problem and causes many of the issues does, and they atone and make up for it towards the end, but I didn't feel that there was a real lesson behind this book as the situation itself didn't make much sense. The problem they faced felt artificial and was artificially sustained.
In conclusion, In Each Other's Shoes was a good, but not particularly impressive, read. Anyone who has enjoyed the previous books or comics will likely find an enjoyable tale here, but one that perhaps doesn't work as well as others have. The target audience may not find the flaws I have, and I'm sure they'll get more out of it than I have.

|RE: Cocoon App: Need Forrest-ation
|Wed, 28 Jul 2004 15:30:10 GMT
Forresters! Yes! A forrest block would be MOST USEFUL. Wishlist: It would even be better if it had some kind of built in editor to create simple documentation. When I generate a 'site' and mount it under cocoon, I get menu item duplication and other small problems relating to the way it was rendered. I'll try it again to get more specifics but I think it may relate to the skinning mechanism. Even adding a new application under tomcat works, of course but this makes for somewhat clumsy deployment. If I build a cocoon application to give to others I would like them to be able to install one application complete with documentation. Thanks David, your ideas sound like the direction to go for sure!

Should work like a charme! Howard, what "problems" are you referring to. Cocoon should be able to deal with any pre-prepared documents. As Thorsten has said, you would add some "match" statements to your cocoon/myapp/sitemap.xmap which deal with requests for forrestdocs/**.html and pdf and css by using <map:read> However, this does sound clumsy doesn't it. You need to pre-generate the docs with Forrest then package them into your Cocoon application, or use other tricks, such as getting forrest to generate the static output straight into the Cocoon webapp directory after Cocoon has started. It sounds like what is really needed is a Cocoon Block called "forrest". We have talked about this before but not gone further. The block would contain all of the bit-and-pieces that forrest needs, such as sitemaps, skinconf, DTDs, the skin stylesheets, and the few extra jars. It should not need to supply any of the cocoon-related jars, which i think is the problem of "too much duplication" that you allude to below. > >Also a complete 'webapp' build has way too much cocoon duplication. > > > Do you want it in the same dir?

It is a place where we do want to go, however no-one has yet put in the energy.

DataCleaner 3.1.2
DataCleaner is a data quality analysis tool that allows you to perform data profiling, validating, and minor ETL-like tasks. These activities help you administer and monitor your data quality in order to ensure that your data is useful and applicable to your business situation. It can be used for master data management (MDM) methodologies, data warehousing projects, statistical research, preparation for extract-transform-load activities, and more.
A Web service was added to the monitoring application for getting a (list of) metric values. The 'Table lookup' component has been improved by adding join semantics as a configurable property. The EasyDQ components have been upgraded, adding further configuration options and a richer deduplication result interface. Performance improvements have been a specific focus of this release. Improvements have been made in the engine of DataCleaner to further utilize a streaming processing approach in certain corner cases which was not covered previously

Primary Day on the Far Side
Wearing a black leather vest that barely covered the cigar tucked into his pocket, a man named Harley Brown was allowed to join the debate among candidates for governor of Idaho last week, holding forth on discrimination against bikers and the presidential seal tattooed on his shoulder after God told him he would one day occupy the White House. Another candidate, Walt Bayes, railed against "a bunch of eastern idiots" pushing the country toward Sodom and Gomorrah. If you thought that this was nothing but a stunt designed by Gov. Butch Otter to distract attention from his real opponent, you'd be right. But you'd also be missing the larger point: Republican primaries around the country have largely degenerated into self-parodies. They may lack the flowing beards of Mr. Brown and Mr. Bayes, but many of the other candidates in the party's primaries — a large number of which will take place on Tuesday — are running on ideas only slightly less extreme.
One of the candidates with a serious shot at making the primary runoff in the House race for Georgia's 10th district is Jody Hice, a pastor and talk-show host who says homosexuals have the right to be married, just not to each other. (In 2010, he ran billboards linking President Obama with the hammer and sickle.) Another is Mike Collins, a trucking executive who demonstrated the perils of the Affordable Care Act by running a video that showed him riding between two trucks, stuntman style.
The congressman that both are hoping to replace is Paul Broun, a Tea Party adherent who is running for the nomination for an open Georgia Senate seat against six others in a field that has moved ludicrously far to the right. Mr. Broun, best known for calling evolution "lies straight from the pit of hell," gave up his House seat to run, as did Phil Gingrey, who thinks there's some truth to the idea that after a "legitimate rape," women's bodies can shut down conception.
A leading candidate in the race, Karen Handel, formerly secretary of state of Georgia, used to work for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer group and led the fight to stop paying Planned Parenthood for mammograms because it performs abortions. She wants to repeal the constitutional amendment allowing an income tax. David Perdue, a businessman considered the front-runner in the race, committed a Republican heresy last week by saying the government may need more revenue to reach a balance. To quell the immediate furor, he quickly made it clear he would never consider any tax increases.
In Kentucky's Senate primary, the Tea Party candidate, Matt Bevin, has accused the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell — one of two men most responsible for immobilizing Congress and preventing the passage of job-creating legislation — of being insufficiently conservative. In Pennsylvania, Travis Schooley, a conservative challenger to Representative Bill Shuster, pounced on the Republican incumbent for voting to continue the food-stamp program. "If we had jobs and work ethic and didn't have these programs lying in wait," Mr. Schooley said at a recent debate, "safety nets, charities and faith-based organizations would be doing these things."
The list goes on and on. No Republican has a shot in this year's party primaries without paying homage to extremist ideas. Whether the Tea Party is still a political force is a moot point; the radicalism of 2010 and 2012 is very much alive in 2014.

The Jammu University results for 2011 have officially been announced to the delight of anxious students. Saturday, June 25, 2011 is the official date for exam results to get announcement however, it might take some time to get those scores.
Check your results here: Jammu University Results
It has come to notice from candidates that the official website where the Jammu University results are currently being accessed is experiencing heavy volumes of traffic. This overload might cause the site not to respond properly or loaded slowly. Students are advised to be patient and consider refreshing the site or checking back again in sometime as the traffic graph will stay on limit.
University of Jammu, first established in 1969, is on the banks of the Tawi River. It also has campuses in Bhaderwah, Kathua and Poonch. At Jammu students can enter undergraduate, post-graduate or doctoral programs of study. It also has the distinction of being India's first ISO 9001:2000 certified institute of Post Graduate studies.
Students are likely very eager to obtain these Jammu University results for their exams and tests. Hopefully the official site will be able to handle the loads of many students checking for their results at once, so that all students will see what they scored. These marks can make or break someone's summer vacation or continued educational plans.
Check the results here: Jammu University Results
We wish all the very best to the students who have appeared for the exams for a better future and career forward.

This excellent book states in its Preface that it has employed the same approach as Ian McDonald's Revolution In The Head did to the Beatles recorded output.
Author Terry Wilson starts with Rats and Roaches, Talent And Love: The Story To 1965, looking at those seminal early releases that took Motown from a small black music label to arguably the most influential force in 1960s popular music. As with Revolution In The Head each single gets an entry and is discussed. The author is obviously a Motown authority so bringing in details of both what went down at the session and in the wider world (tours, relationships etc). He writes clearly and precisely and doesn't back off criticising those involved or inferior product. His enthusiasm for the great Motown singles is infectious and I certainly learned a lot about how some of my favourite singles ever were created from reading this.
Great as both a dip in book or for longer, more contemplative reading. Very highly recommended and nice to see publishers Cherry Red stepping beyond their usual remit of hard rock/punk.

About monsters in Remain Human
About monsters in Remain Human
Hi there! Coil Software is here to share another big news with you about our upcoming game which is called Remain Human. The time has come to tell you about monsters inhabiting forsaken planet you'll soon meet. Of course, many enemies will be transferred from our previous game, Survival Planet, but in Remain Human there will be a lot of new and unexpected enemies.
One of the main features is that all enemies will be fully implemented in 3D, and each of them will have more than 10 of the living and the unique animations that will make the gameplay more interesting and exciting than in the Survival Planet, where all the fighting took place step by step, and the characters implemented in 2D. We are ready to reveal the cards and show you the image of the enemy, which is familiar to all players of Survival Planet without exceptions. It is Starface, but now in 3D.
At this moment we cannot give an exact date of release of the game, but rest assured that soon there will be more news. Yours,
Coil Software
Here we tell you some info about combat system. Also we present Starsnout with its movement-animations!
Game was completely remastered! A lot of problems have been fixed, added new gameplay-mechanics and new enemy!

From the age of twelve, Bali captured my imagination and I never knew why. Having travelled the world and then, over 20 years later, I finally understood, on 'our' very first visit to the island. By this time, 'I' had become 'we', and so it began, 'our' enduring affection of this most enchanting island and its people.
Over the years, we have made many friends and have countless stories to tell. Our passion for Bali and all it represents is also entwined in our two sons, and now, we would like to share this knowledge with you.
We will guide you throughout the island, from endless stunning beaches and resorts to lush rice terraces of the interior. Its not just about beaches and rice terraces. In the villages, watch with fascination as the artisans of Ubud create their arts and crafts before you. A village ceremony can be an explosion of colour and a photographer's joy!
We can offer you an insight and understanding into the Balinese people and their culture. With their deep spiritual beliefs, how they embrace us, the stranger, the visitor to their land, with love, grace and gratitude.
We invite you to share some of our personal experiences, what you absolutely 'must see' and 'must do' (and of course, what you 'mustn't do')!
Read our own reviews about some of the hotels and villas together with some of our favourite Indonesian restaurants around the island. Come on a journey with us so that you too can discover the heart and soul of the Island of the Gods..............

The hard-boiled eggs can be quickly separated from the soft-boiled eggs by placing
them on a hard surface spinning them. The hard-boiled eggs will spin quickly and easily.
The unboiled eggs will hardly spin at all.
The reason for this is that an unboiled egg has a fluid inside. When you try to
spin the shell, the liquid core doesn't pick up the angular momentum as easily as
a solid one. Instead, it sloshes about, like a bowl of soup would if you tried to
spin it (Kids, don't try this on the good tablecloth!) So instead of the energy going
into the spin, it goes into the chaotic motion of the liquid. The egg will first start
to spin, then it will go into a wobble and settle down.
The energy that would have gone into the spinning motion doesn't really get lost.
It gets turned into a small amount of heat inside the egg. The hard-boiled egg's energy
eventually will become heat as well. As the egg slows down, it is losing energy to
the air and surface it's on.

Microsoft has announced a change in SQL Server 2005 beta programs. Don't worry—it's not a delay; the change will get new SQL Server 2005 betas to you sooner rather than later. In an email to SQL Server 2005 beta testers last week, Microsoft Senior Vice President Paul Flessner said that as part of the company's efforts to work more closely with beta testers during the product-development cycle, the SQL Server team decided to release Community Technical Previews (CTPs) for SQL Server 2005. "The SQL Server 2005 CTPs are interim builds of SQL Server 2005 between major betas that will enable you to test and experiment with new features as they are added to the product without having to wait for the next beta," Flessner's memo explained. "Your involvement during the development cycle will ensure that we ship a better product."
So what's a CTP release? Let's not mince words: It's beta software. Essentially, Microsoft has decided that it has made enough improvements to SQL Server 2005 since Beta 2's release to make the product valuable and stable for testing and learning purposes. As Flessner noted, Microsoft based its decision to release CTP builds for SQL Server 2005 on the helpful feedback that the development team received during SQL Server 2005 Beta 1's limited community release. The company hopes to release more than one CTP version between now and the official public beta, Beta 3. That decision depends on how much feedback the community gives the SQL Server development team. Microsoft developers are using the CTPs to get more feedback about how to improve the product, so let's give it to them! A lot of work goes into a CTP release, so it's not worth Microsoft's time to produce one unless we provide feedback that the SQL Server team can use to make the final release better. If Microsoft doesn't get much feedback, we might have to wait for the next beta to get any new bits.
Users who have access to the SQL Server 2005 download area on BetaPlace ( http://www.betaplace.com/ ) received the first CTP last week, and within the week, MSDN Universal, Enterprise, and Professional subscribers will be able to download the CTP from the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Subscriber Downloads site. I haven't explored the CTP release yet, but here are a few enhancements Microsoft told me to expect:
Is Beta 2 upgradeable to CTP, or will you need to reinstall SQL Server 2005 to Beta 2? Because Microsoft doesn't perform beta-level testing on CTPs, the company recommends not running the CTP on the same machine as the betas—you should keep them separate. Of course, Virtual PC from Microsoft (or other virtual machine technology) is a great way to deal with multiple software versions on one physical machine. If you're wondering about SQL Server 2005 ship dates, Microsoft is still planning to release Beta 3 in the first quarter of next year and the final product next summer.

As you can imagine, I get a lot of e-mail. I do my best to answer it, at least according to the triage policy I've posted on my Web site. (It basically says that I try to answer everything except PR pitches, hate mail, "which model should I buy" queries and tech support).
What never ceases to amaze me is how many people take the time to write out an e-mail query to me about something they could have found out on Google in about .00021 seconds. These are all actual questions from the last few weeks:
"My new Nikon D90 shows an 'F–' error on the screen. What does that mean?"
"Does the Zune play AAC files?"
"How do I convert my old VHS tapes to DVD?"
"Have you reviewed the BlackBerry Storm?"
And so on.
I mentioned this curious state of affairs to a teenage friend of mine (hi Sasha), and he e-mailed back a link to LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com, a hilariously snarky way to teach these folks the lesson they apparently need to learn.
You just send the question-asker—for example, your brother—the appropriate link. When he clicks it, his screen fills with a video. It shows his question being typed slowly into the Google box, the mouse clicking the Search button, and the actual search results appearing right on his screen.
And then it says: "Was that so hard?"
(To create the appropriate Web address, visit lmgtfy.com yourself, type the question into the box, hit Enter, and then copy the resulting address. It looks like this example: //lmgtfy.com/?q=zune+aac)
I wouldn't actually answer one of my readers this way; it's just too mean. But I must admit that the thought has crossed my mind. ;)

A network location identifies the type of network that a PC is connected to with a network adapter.
The first time you connect to a network, you might be asked if you want to find PCs, devices, and content on the network, and automatically connect to devices like printers and TVs. Turning on this setting prepares your PC for sharing files and devices on a network. It also automatically sets the appropriate Windows Firewall and security settings for the type of network that you connected to. You can change the network location anytime.
This tutorial will show you how to set the network on your PC to be connected to a domain, public, or private type of location for all users in Windows 10.
You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to change the network location of a network adapter.
Public network = By default, the public network location type is assigned to any new networks when they are first connected.

This is the Dublin man who helped Britain gain control of some of the wrold's richest oil fields after the First World War.
Captain Newton Williams didn't win vast tracts of what is now Iran in battle – it was with bribes to locals.
But Capt Newton, who was born in Rathdown, South Dublin, proved his prowess on the battlefield and was awarded the Military Cross for ending a rebellion.
MORE: St John of God reverse decision to withdraw disability services at Dublin school
Now the National Army Museum has published photographs, papers and medals belonging to Capt Newton, who was born on February 13, 1890.
They tell of his experience controlling mutiny and rebellion in the campaign to win over control of Persia (modern day Iran) and a region which remains volatile to this day.
The documents shed light on how Persians who were recruited to fight with Britain mutinied and refused to take up arms against their fellow
countrymen. They also show how Britain eventually won control over southern Persia through bribes rather than battle.
When hundreds of his men mutinied and joined local tribes fighting the British in August 1918 Captain Williams was only left with loyal Indian troops.

Yet he managed to bribe some of the rebellious tribal leaders and withstood a siege.
It was during this action he earned his Military Cross, with his commander Brigadier General Sykes commending him "for untiring devotion to duty
and good work during the siege of Abadeh".
After the war Captain Newton returned to civilian life and died in 1945 aged 55.
Featured on the museum's First World War in Focus portal, the documents are the latest addition to the Soldiers' Stories series, telling tales of the war from those who fought in it.
MORE: Picture: U2 record label rejection letter received by Bono in 1979
Dr Peter Johnston, collections content team leader at the National Army Museum, said the papers still have a relevance today.
He added: "These documents are vital for us to remember past conflicts in an area which is still unstable 100 years on. The story gives an insight into how sometimes alternative tactics, such as payment, are used to win wars rather than battle.
"Such personal accounts are being unveiled each month in the Soldiers' Stories series.
"They piece together the development of the war from the point of view of those directly involved – 100 years from the time that they describe."

Prometheus Sequel's Title, Synopsis, and Release Date Revealed. The official title for Prometheus 2, its plot synopsis, and released date have been released by 20th Century Fox. Prometheus 2 will be called Alien: Covenant. The styling of the title card heralds back to Ridley Scott's first Alien film but the official plot synopsis is where the real surprises lay.
Alien: Covenant logo
Alien Covenant logo
The official plot synopsis for Alien: Covenant (via Slashfilm):
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott's 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
So it's obvious that Michael Fassbender will be returning to the film but nowhere is Noomi Rapace character (Shaw) mentioned. Is she dead or alive? Will Rapace be reprising her role?
Did they make it to The Engineers' home world?
All of these questions burn bright but the one of significance (from the synopsis) is: has David's body been reconstituted or is he still just a talking head?
At multiple points during Prometheus' narrative, the film hemorrhaged from plot holes, inconsistencies, and moments of outright lunacy do to the film's last screenwriter and the meddling of 20th Century Fox. Hopefully this time around, everyone has learned from their mistakes.
Leave your Prometheus 2 new title and plot synopsis below in the comments section. For more Alien: Covenant news, videos, and images, visit our Alien: Covenant Page and consider subscribing to us by Email, "following" us on Twitter, Tumblr, Google+ or "liking" us on Facebook for quick updates. Alien: Covenant will be released in US theaters through 20th Century Fox on October 6, 2017.

Today, I showed up to my hair appointment at Aveda in Ann Arbor and was soon told that there had been a scheduling mistake and they wouldn't be able to see me. I thought, oh bummer but didn't worry about it too much. The lady asked if I wanted to reschedule and I said I wasn't sure if I'd be able to fit it in but I'd let her know. She said, well whenever you come back we'll do your full service free of charge. Wow! Talk about customer service. I'll be back there tomorrow!
After the salon, Feraz and I headed over to an antique shop to browse around. I found the cutest sugar and creamer set. I quickly picked it up to go show Feraz and just as I was showing him how cool it was, the sugar holder fell from my hands and broke into many irreparable pieces. I panicked and looked up at the lady working at the store and said "I'll buy it!" She just laughed and insisted that we didn't need to buy it quickly whisking the damaged goods away so I wouldn't have to be reminded of my mistake. Every time I tried to apologize, she just laughed it off.
I am constantly amazed by how beautiful life is.

King David and musicians, with zither, celesti, andreal.
"A psalm is a religious song, and the one hundred and fifty poems which make up the book of Psalms sing to us the human and divine history of Israel. Tradition attributes them to King David or to the musicians' guilds connected with the names of Asaph or Korah, although it is not possible to attach a date or author to each psalm. Israel has preserved these poems because it has recognised in them the expression of its unique religious destiny. The psalms repeat in lyrical form the teaching of the prophets; they recall the great events of a history that was itself a divine revelation; they meditate on the covenant. Everything that the psalms had sung about the God of Israel, as the one who judges and saves his people, who comes to dwell among them, who reveals his Law to them, gathers them together, leads and sanctifies them, all that finds its expression and accomplishment in the Incarnate Word, Jesus, the Son of David and the son of God, who judges the world in his death and who saves it in his resurrection. He is the Truth, the Way and the Life of which the psalms speak. Christ's Church has found in the Psalms, her favourite prayer, with verses resounding in the liturgy of the Word, in the celebration of the Mass, in the Divine Office, and in the most varied ceremonies of every rite. The Church is the new Israel, and through the images of the old covenant she gives voice to the realities of the new covenant. No one who takes the words of the psalms on his lips and their meaning in his heart, can possibly remain indifferent to them.They may overwhelm or shock, bring peace or exhaltation, but inevitably they draw us beyond ourselves; they force us to that meeting with the God without whom we cannot live and who transforms our whole life.
Some may object that certain passages contradict the command of love taught us by Christ. But we only have to follow the images through to their Easter fulfillment to realise that the psalmist is expressing love and hatred not between friends and enemies, but between the reign of evil which holds sway in us and the reign of grace which lays claim to us. The psalms compel us to voice all the prayers of the people of God and of their Head; they force us to widen our hearts to the full dimensions of the redemption. They make us say what remains hidden except to the eyes of faith, and what we know we must one day become."
(ack. Introduction - 'The Psalms, a New Translation'
The problem of justice, pain and death. (Ps 48)
Hear this, all you peoples,
give heed, all who dwell in the world,
men both low and high,
rich and poor alike.
My lips will speak words of wisdom,
My heart is full of insight.
I will turn my mind to a parable,
with the harp I will solve my problem.
* * *
Why should I fear in evil days
the malice of the foes around me,
men who trust in their wealth,
and boast of the vastness of their riches?
For no man can buy his own ransom,
or pay a price to God for his life.
The ransom of his soul is beyond him.
He cannot buy life without end,
nor avoid coming to the grave.
He knows that wise men and fools must both perish
and leave their wealth to others.
Their graves are their homes for ever,
their dwelling place from age to age,
though their names spread wide through the land.
In his riches, man lacks wisdom:
he is like the beasts that are destroyed.
* * *
This is the lot of the self-confident,
who have others at their beck and call.
Like sheep they are driven to the grave,
where death shall be their shepherd
and the just shall become their rulers.
With the morning their outward show vanishes
and the grave becomes their home.
But God will ransom me from death
and take my soul to himself.
Then do not fear when a man grows rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
He takes nothing with him when he dies,
his glory does not follow him below.
Though he flattered himself while he lived:
"Men will praise me for doing well for myself,"
yet he will go to join his fathers,
who will never see the light any more.
In his riches, man lacks wisdom:
He is like the beasts that are destroyed.
Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21) - Rembrandt 1627
The Messianic kingship: warning to rulers and nations (Ps 2)
Why this tumult among nations,
among peoples this useless murmurings?
They arise, the kings of the earth,
princes plot against the Lord and his Anointed.
"Come, let us break their fetters,
come, let us cast off their yoke."
He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord is laughing them to scorn.
Then He will speak in his anger,
his rage will strike them with terror.
"It is I who have set up my king
on Sion, my holy mountain."
(I will announce the decree of the Lord:)
The Lord said to me: "You are my Son.
It is I who have begotten you this day.
Ask and I shall bequeath you the nations,
put the ends of the earth in your possession.
With a rod of iron you will break them,
shatter them like a potter's jar."
Now, O kings, understand,
Take warning, rulers of the earth;
Serve the Lord with awe
And trembling, pay him your homage
Lest he be angry and you perish;
For suddenly his anger will blaze.
Blessed are they who put their trust in God.
Cosmic Praise (Ps 148)
Praise the Lord from the heavens,
praise him in the heights.
Praise him, all his angels,
praise him all his host.
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, shining stars.
Praise him, highest heavens
and the waters above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He commanded; they were made.
He fixed them for ever,
gave a law which shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all oceans,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that obey his word;
all mountains and hills,
all fruit trees and cedars,
beasts, wild and tame,
reptiles and birds on the wing;
all earth's kings and peoples,
earth's princes and rulers;
young men and maidens,
old men together with children.
Let them praise the name of the Lord
for he alone is exalted.
The splendour of his name
reaches beyond heaven and earth.
He exalts the strength of his people.
He is the praise of all his saints,
of the sons of Israel,
of the people to whom he comes close.
Two ways of living (Ps 1)
Happy indeed is the man
who follows not the counsel of the wicked;
nor lingers in the way of sinners
nor sits in the company of scorners,
but whose delight is the law of the Lord
and who ponders his law day and night.
He is like a tree that is planted
beside the flowing waters,
that yields its fruit in due season
and whose leaves shall never fade;
and all that he does shall prosper.
Not so are the wicked, not so!
For they like winnowed chaff
shall be driven away by the wind.
When the wicked are judged they shall not stand,
nor find room among those who are just;
for the Lord guards the way of the just
but the way of the wicked leads to doom.

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching, as we get closer to the primetime opening round April 25th. This will be the eighth part in a series where I will discuss the current and needs for the upcoming NFL Draft for the Giants.
The eighth position I will take a look at is linebacker.
Currently on the depth chart for the Giants at linebacker are Jacquian Williams, Dan Connor, Mathias Kiwanuka, Keith Rivers, Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger and Jake Muasau. From last season the Giants lost two linebackers in Michael Boley, who is still a free agent, and Chase Blackburn, who signed with the Panthers.

Long-term recovery benefits from an integrated continuum of care. Many times, patients are referred to Clear Springs Ranch by professionals who have identified the warning signs of substance use disorders. At Clear Springs Ranch, we seek to ensure seamless coordination of care with referring professionals, helping to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients and families.
Professional Cooperation is Key
Your patient's treatment experience at Clear Springs Ranch begins with a complete, multidisciplinary assessment of his or her physical, emotional, mental and spiritual requirements. We diagnose and treat co-occurring and process disorders of all levels — from mild depression or anxiety, to conditions that are more moderate or severe, which may include post-traumatic stress, eating, personality, and bipolar disorders.
We commit to the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct. As a valued referring professional, your client's welfare is our first priority. We appreciate the knowledge and information about your patient that you lend the treatment process, and are always available to answer your questions and provide information and resources. Our team of professionals pursues continued professional growth and excellence in all aspects of customer service with referents, patients and families.
Our Continuum of Care
Clear Springs Ranch professionals accompany your client every step of the way on the complex journey to recovery and wellness. We understand that early intervention and corrective support result in less relapse and sustained, long-term recovery. We value the role of referring professionals in the treatment process. Referring professionals:
- are consulted by the treatment team when establishing the patient's individualized treatment plan
- receive ongoing communication throughout the continuum of care
- are an integral part of creating aftercare recommendations.
Our Holistic Programming Sets Us Apart
Thanks to our small client-to-staff ratios, we are able to carefully tailor individualized care to each client's specific needs. Examples of our therapeutic offerings include:
- Evidence-Based Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
- Experiential Therapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Intensive 12-Step Program
- Comprehensive Family Program
- Integrated Yoga Classes
- Breath Work
- Meditation
- Equine Assisted Learning
- Recreational Activities
- Outdoor Experiential Excursions
Client-Centered Care
Clear Springs Ranch offers gender-specific residential housing and therapeutic sessions, including individual and process groups. All clients come together for meals and large group work in a co-educational setting. We believe this setting most closely represents a post-treatment environment.
Our picturesque campus is set on 200 acres of beautiful rolling ranchland complicated with live creeks and ponds. Our program offers delicious dining options, unique recreational activities and a low staff to patient ratio. Clear Springs Ranch has 35 beds with 11 designated for medically managed detoxification. Our semiprivate rooms are gender-separate.
Each client's length of stay is based upon his or her unique needs. Although we believe a minimum of 60 days is optimal for long-term recovery, many clients have a shorter length of stay necessitated by their personal circumstances. We accept most in-network and out-of-network insurance policies, and private-pay options are available.
