After a night of high drama on Capitol Hill, a legislative solution to the debt crisis now shifts to the Senate, where leaders of both parties must now try to guess what will pass in the House – perhaps the worst bet in all of politics.
The situation is the result of strategic mistakes in the buildup to Friday's debt-ceiling votes, which produced an outcome exactly the opposite of what GOP leaders had hoped. Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio had hoped to win support from House Democrats this week by scaling back the House's earlier "cut, cap, and balance" bill. With Democratic support in the House, the bill would have had a credible shot in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Instead, his proposal alienated not only House Democrats but also the president and GOP conservatives. After an aborted attempt to hold a vote Thursday, an amended bill did at last pass the House Friday, 218 to 210, but without a single Democratic vote and without 22 Republican defectors. Later Friday, it failed in the Senate, which voted to table Mr. Boehner's bill, 59 to 41, effectively derailing it.
That makes the plan coming out of the Senate likely the last chance for Congress to vote to raise the debt ceiling before Aug. 2, when the country would default on some domestic spending obligations, which could include checks for Social Security recipients and veterans.
In short, months of negotiation have come down to a situation where the Senate has one shot to get it right – a compromise that will pass both the Democrat-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House in three days. At a time when even the speaker of the House appears uncertain what his caucus will or will not support, it is a Herculean task.
"We all know the Senate is the only way out of this mess," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York Friday night.
But even getting a proposal through the Senate appears to be a big reach, since any bill would need at least seven GOP votes to reach the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster. Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada introduced a plan earlier this week that would cut spending by $2.2 trillion over 10 years and raise the debt ceiling through 2012 immediately. But Republicans, burned by similar bargains in the past, want assurances that those cuts will, in fact, take effect – hence their insistence on an accompanying balanced-budget amendment.
Behind the political theater on the floor, negotiations have been ongoing for weeks both within the Senate and between the Senate and House leaders over how to resolve this crisis.
Senator Reid and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky, while not close friends, have developed a strong, working relationship. Unusually, they have a "nonaggression pact," which means that neither one will campaign against the other. They speak several times a day and recently collaborated over how to improve a "last choice" proposal by Senator McConnell that would give the president a fast-track option to raise the debt limit with the support of only 34 senators.
"They're not best friends, but they're two old bulls who kind of see the world in the same way," says Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.
The challenge in resolving the debt crisis will be to find a way to strike a bipartisan deal capable of passing the Senate that will not alienate Republicans needed to pass the measure in the House. "Something bipartisan in the Senate is a positive virtue, while in the House it's a disqualifying problem," he adds.
Indeed, in a surprise move, House Republicans could bring up a version of the Reid proposal for a vote on Saturday, well before the Senate takes it up on Sunday. Some House Republicans want to send a message to the Senate that the plan is unacceptable to them.
Yet House Democrats say it's essential that the Senate send back a bill that does not require a second vote on raising the debt limit – one of the elements of Boehner's plan. "If they want 218 votes, they're going to have to come to us," says Rep. Jim McDermott (D) of Washington."
"We're in for a very difficult Monday night," says Rep. Rob Andrews (D) of New Jersey, referring to when many lawmakers expect to take final votes on the Senate deal.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 populations in ruminants can be reduced by orange peel product feeding. Journal of Food Protection. 74:1917-1921.
Interpretive Summary: E. coli O157:H7 can live in the intestinal tract of food animals, where it poses a threat to human consumers of meat products. Orange peels are a by-product of juice production that represents a significant waste stream and have been fed to cattle as a least-cost ration ingredient for many years. Citrus peels contain essential oils that act as antimicrobials against bacteria. This study was designed to investigate if the feeding of citrus peel and pulp affected populations of E. coli O157:H7 in experimentally infected sheep. Results indicate that feeding orange peel at levels of 5% and 10% decreased E. coli O157:H7 populations in the cecum and rectum of sheep. Our results demonstrate that orange peel and pellets are environmentally friendly, low-cost products that can be used as a pre-harvest intervention as part of an integrated pathogen reduction scheme.
Technical Abstract: Foodborne pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7 are threats to the safety of beef and are publically perceived as "hamburger diseases." Fresh citrus peel and dried orange pulp are by-products from citrus juice production that have a relatively high nutritive value (high TDN). Orange peel and pulp is available at low prices in citrus-producing regions and is thus often incorporated into least-cost ration formulations for beef and dairy cattle. Because of the natural antimicrobial effects of orange peel/pulp, it has been proposed for use as a low-cost feed ingredient that could be used to decrease foodborne pathogenic bacteria populations in cattle. We have previously reported that orange peel and pulp reduced (P < 0.05) populations of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in mixed ruminal fluid fermentations in the laboratory and reduced growth rate (P < 0.05) and final populations (P < 0.05) of pathogens in pure culture studies. Therefore, this study was designed to determine if the antipathogenic effects of orange peel and pulp were effective against E. coli O157:H7 in vivo. Sheep (n = 24) were fed a cracked corn grain-based diet that was supplemented with a 50%/50% mixture of dried orange pellet and fresh orange peel to achieve a final concentration (DM basis, w/w) of 0%, 5%, or 10% pelleted orange peel for 7 d. Following this adaptation period, sheep were artificially inoculated with 1010 CFU E. coli O157:H7 by oral dosing. Fecal shedding of E. coli O157:H7 was measured daily for 5 d before animals were humanely sacrificed, and it was reduced (P < 0.05) in sheep fed 10% OP after 96 hrs post-inoculation. Populations of inoculated E. coli O157:H7 were reduced by OP treatment throughout the gastrointestinal tract; however, this reduction reached significant levels in the rumen (P < 0.05) of sheep fed 10% OP diets. Cecal and rectal populations of E. coli O157:H7 were reduced (P < 0.05) by inclusion of both 5% and 10% OP diets. Our results demonstrate that orange peel products are environmentally friendly and low-cost products that can be used as a pre-harvest intervention as part of an integrated pathogen reduction scheme.

Are there other financial options for the US government other than Congress approving a higher debt ceiling?
Analyst Jaret Seiberg from the Washington Research Group has looked at two that are being discussed — and he's dismissive of both:
The President could assert that that 14 th amendment negates the requirement for Congress to raise the debt ceiling.
Or Treasury could mint a $1 trillion platinum coin and deposit it at the Federal Reserve.
Neither are great options. We see chaos if the market has to confront Treasuries where the debt is backed by Congress and those where it is not backed by Congress.
And the $1 trillion coin would expand the money supply by a considerable amount, which could spark serious inflation. And it seems like something out of a Simpson's episode. So we are not even sure anyone would take this as an actual solution.
All of this economic chaos could worsen the economic downturn, which would further weaken credit conditions and impose higher losses on banks.
For banks, this might be as bad as an actual default.
The economic uncertainty could cause lending to grind to a halt, the disruptions could cause unemployment to spike which means higher loan losses, and interest rates could skyrocket as the market is unsure whether one of these creative solutions is even legal.
That sounds about right. Far better for Democrats and Republicans to agree on spending and entitlement cuts and raise the debt ceiling.

New Method for Evaluating Cloud Processes and Cloud Effects in Climate Models
The Multi-scale Modeling Framework (MMF) is a new, computationally intensive approach to climate modeling being used by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists to produce a more realistic treatment of cloud properties and processes. It consists of a coarse resolution global climate model (horizontal scale of ~300 km) with a cloud resolving model (horizontal scale of ~4 km) nested into each climate model grid cell.
Using this approach, scientists are evaluating the reliability of cloud simulations by any climate model. The multi-year data sets available from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program provide a rich environment for statistical evaluations. In the figure, the left panel shows a probability distribution of the net solar flux measured at the ARM Nauru site, averaged for a three-hour period each day around local noon. The mean value is 767 W/m2 and the range is 40 to 992 W/m2. The state-of-the-art NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) simulates too little solar radiation reaching the surface (a mean of 701 W/m2) and too small a range of values. PNNL's research shows this deficiency results from an over-production of clouds by the CAM. The MMF model has a mean value identical to the ARM observations, which is fortuitous. The MMF does not produce a sufficient number of thick clouds, making its minimum values too high.
Our initial application of MMF shows both promise and the need for additional work. However, unlike conventional cloud parameterizations, the path to model improvement is more straightforward. Repeated testing for many variables at multiple sites will enable improved evaluation of model performance and identification and correction of deficiencies.

In 2011, Fabien Royer & Bertrand Le Roy co-founded Nwazet, a technology development business shaped around a passion for openness, originality and creativity in electronic engineering and product design. Before launching Nwazet, they were members of the Microsoft team who built ASP.NET, contributed defense-in-depth features in Windows and its networking stack, and built many Xbox 360, Kinect and Xbox Live features.
After three years of successfully bringing a range of imaginative and inventive concepts to life via Nwazet, it became evident that life goals were taking them in different directions. With this realisation, the pair made the difficult decision to dissolve Nwazet in order to pursue future dreams and ambitions independently.
As a group of fellow Maker enthusiasts with parallel core values, a decision was made by the ModMyPi team to keep the lifeblood of Nwazet alive. In order to achieve this, ModMyPi will continue to manufacture and distribute Nwazet's complete range of products, host the entirety of their web content, and continue contributing to Nwazet's legacy.
As part of the dissolution of Nwazet as a company, the Nwazet brand will cease to exist, the result being that all Nwazet owned products will be rebranded under ModMyPi. With that said, in order to maintain continuity, all parts will be manufactured to the same specification and design files used by Nwazet.
We hope to do justice to the high standards customers have come to expect from Nwazet products and, of course let past, present and future customers take advantage of our global distribution network and dedicated customer care. If you have any queries regarding the acquisition, please don't hesitate to contact us [email protected]

Vision Fitness, a brand of Johnson Health Tech (JHT), designs award-winning fitness equipment, including treadmills, elliptical trainers, fitness bikes and strength equipment for the home and commercial markets. The Vision Fitness story began in 1993 as a division of Trek® Bicycle Company, one of the world's largest manufacturers of quality outdoor bicycles, where we pioneered the development of the smoothest and quietest exercise bikes available.
In 1996, Vision Fitness was spun off by the Trek Fitness management team to better focus on the specialized fitness industry. The company was renamed Vision Fitness because we believe everyone who begins a fitness program has a vision of how they want to look, live or feel. The Vision Fitness focus on selling high-quality bikes with Trek's revolutionary magnetic resistance system won numerous awards, making our bikes easily the most decorated products in the industry. It also set the foundation for us to continue developing innovative products for the fitness industry.
In 1997, we introduced our line of folding and full platform treadmills and received great reviews from our customers. Our goal was to introduce a line of high-quality products at a better value than most of our competitors. Vision Fitness introduced the first extra-capacity treadmill (20-inch wide belt) for under $2,000. Since then, our treadmills have received significant awards and recognition from major media publications for offering consumers a great value.
Vision Fitness became the "must have" brand when we introduced our patented folding elliptical trainer in 1998. Our customers loved the unique space-saving folding feature and so did the media. Its first year in the market, our X6200 model was awarded a "Best Buy" by Consumer's Digest. Our elliptical trainers have received a great deal of praise every year since then, again in Consumer's Digest and in such reputable publications as Parenting, Health, Smart Money, Money, All You, Which? Magazine in the UK, and the list goes on.
By 1999 Vision Fitness was known as one of the top fitness equipment companies in the world. In 2001, Vision Fitness moved its operations to a newly constructed facility in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, to better accommodate its growing number of employees. In 2008, Vision Fitness shifted from being a single company to join the Johnson Health Tech family of brands, along with other award-winning fitness brands Matrix Fitness, Horizon Fitness, LIVESTRONG Fitness and AFG. Operations moved to Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, where Vision Fitness remains today.
In April 2008, we introduced the very popular Suspension Elliptical trainer with PerfectStride motion. In just months, this product received a notable international award and the "Top Gear of the Year" award from ShapeYou.com. Later that year, we introduced our new customizable home fitness products, allowing customers to choose the right frame and console combination to meet their fitness goals.
In 2012, Vision Fitness launched a new logo and website along with a new line of premier home fitness equipment and updated consoles complete with cutting edge technology. Awards and media attention for the line of Vision Fitness exercise equipment amass, with more than 50 "Best Buy" awards for our treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes. We continue to design and develop exciting fitness equipment for the specialty fitness market, providing you with options so you can confidently choose the perfect fitness solution to match your fitness goals or facility needs.

Sanderson Center pool repairs underway
Over the upcoming fall and winter holidays, the Joe Frank Sanderson Center will undergo some much-needed repairs to the natatorium.
On Monday, Nov. 19, the pool closed so workers could begin attending to the rust and wear that has accumulated in the ceiling.
In addition, the deck will be cleaned and the pool floor patched, safety improvements will be made in the pump room. The work will last approximately 45 days. It is anticipated that the pool will reopen with the start of the spring semester.
Many patrons swim on a daily basis, and the university apologizes for any inconvenience this closure may cause. Please feel free to contact the fitness staff in the strength & aerobic conditioning room for workout ideas in lieu of swimming.
Thanks to all patrons for supporting the Sanderson Center.

DANBURY, Conn.—UMass Boston women's tennis snapped a three-game losing streak and kept their postseason chances alive Tuesday afternoon, with a convincing 8-1 victory over Western Connecticut State University at the Westside Courts.
After earning just one point in their past three matchups against the Little East Conference elite, the Beacons (3-7, 1-5 LEC) grabbed their first conference victory and moved into seventh place in the conference.
The victory over Western Connecticut State University (1-7, 0-6 LEC) puts UMass Boston just one game behind Rhode Island College (2-4 LEC) and Southern Maine (2-4 LEC) for one of the two final spots in the Little East Conference Tournament.
UMass Boston's freshman doubles pair of Stephony Reeves (Dorchester, Mass.) and Solveig Castelli (Precojo, France) got the Beacons off to a good start with an 8-0 win at number three doubles. Reeves would finish off Jessica Arconti swiftly at number four doubles with a 6-4, 6-1 win, while Castelli only needed slightly longer to take a 6-0, 6-1 win at number five singles.
Samantha Counts (Bridgewater, Mass.) and Hieu Nguyen (Dorchester, Mass.) were the next Beacons pair to earn the win. Nguyen and Counts notched an 8-1 victory over Nicole Salamacha and Alyssa Panasci at number one doubles. In singles, Counts would earn a 6-0, 6-3 victory at number two singles, while Nguyen fell by the way of the tiebreaker in a 6-3, 6-7, 10-3 contest at number one singles.
The Beacons final pair of Imani Williams (Roxbury, Mass.) and Shihyu Yang (Taipei, Taiwan) had little trouble with the Colonials. The pair earned a hard-fought 8-4 win at number two doubles, before cruising in singles play. Williams grabbed a 6-4, 6-0 victory at number three singles, while Yang shut out her opponent at number six singles 6-0, 6-0.
UMass Boston will play another must-win Little East Conference contest Wednesday, when they travel to Worcester to take on Worcester State in a 3:30 p.m. match.

The Importance of Soil
"To be a successful farmer one must first know the nature of the soil."
— Xenophon, the Greek historian, writing around 400 BC
Throughout the history of agriculture, good soil has been recognized as the basis of successful food production. Without good soil, carefully tended and replenished, crops will struggle. For that reason, a program of soil improvement is an integral part of sustainable farming and gardening.
Soil quality can be described by two factors: tilth and fertility. Tilth refers to the physical condition of the soil, and how well it allows for essential plant processes including seed germination, root growth, water infiltration and drainage, and root aeration. Fertility refers to the nutrients that are held in the soil and available to plants.
The ideal vegetable soil is deep, friable, well-drained, and with adequate available nutrients to support optimum plant growth. A few lucky growers have those conditions on their land, but most of us have less-than-perfect soil that requires some work to get it into shape and keep it healthy. The work will pay off in the future with crops that have higher yields, fewer pest and disease problems, stronger drought resistance, and, in some cases, better flavor.
To preserve good tilth, it's essential to avoid compaction. Growing areas should never be driven on with a truck or tractor. Tillage should be minimized because, although it may seem to create a fluffier soil texture, it actually breaks down the soil aggregates that are important to the long-term health of the soil. Soil should be kept covered with crops, mulches, or cover crops to prevent compaction and erosion in heavy rains.
Another strategy for improving both tilth and fertility is to increase soil organic matter (SOM) by adding compost or manure and by growing cover crops and tilling them under. SOM comprises only a small portion of soil from less than 1% to about 10% in the best of conditions. But organic matter contains almost all of the nitrogen and a large amount of the phosphorous in soil, as soil organisms decompose organic matter and convert it to plant nutrients. Organic matter also contributes to good tilth, as it improves water-holding capacity, drainage, and soil structure.
SOM can be measured by a soil test, which also provides information about nutrient levels and recommendations for improving fertility. Soil tests are available from most Cooperative Extension Service offices or from commercial soil labs, which can be found online. It's important to know that organic matter increases very slowly over time.
"A soil with 3% organic matter might only increase to 4% after a decade or more of soil building," writes Marianne Sarrantonio, a sustainable agriculture researcher at the University of Maine, in the book Managing Cover Crops Profitably. "The benefits of increased organic matter, however, are likely to be apparent long before increased quantities are detectable. Some, such as enhanced aggregation, water infiltration rates and nutrient release, will be apparent the first season; others may take several years to become noticeable."
Cover crops improve soil in many ways besides increasing organic matter. For example, leguminous cover crops such as clovers and soybeans fix nitrogen, moving it from the air into the soil. Cover crops also catch nutrients before they can leach out of the soil. Many cover crops have deep tap roots that break up compacted soil layers. Some cover crops, especially the grasses, have masses of fine roots that improve soil texture. All cover crops protect the soil from erosion and compaction. With only a few exceptions (such as providing a fallow period in a field to break up weed problems), soil should always be covered with either a cash crop or a cover crop.
One of the best resources for learning about soil improvement through cover crops is the book Managing Cover Crops Profitably, published by the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. It can be viewed online . Printed copies of the book are available from Johnny's for $17.95. Visit Johnny's bookstore .
The University of Massachusetts has an excellent series of articles on soil and nutrient management for vegetable growers. Learn more .
ATTRA , the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, has numerous publications about soil management.

YouTube's member 'Ozelot S' has captured some new footage from Slightly Mad Studios' racer, showcasing the Mclaren MP4-12C GT3 vehicle.
Love the sound of the engine. The handling looks tight too. I like both this and Forza. Great sound and cockpit views.
I cannot wait for This game. I think slightly mad did an awesome job with n4s unleashed and this is no different. I do hope they fix the physics with the cars from their last release.Other than that, the graphics and sound is superior.
This is (to me), by far, the best car game I've ever seen. I'm jelly. I love the engine sounds.
And, IS THAT A HELMET? :0

MACON, Ga. – The Atlantic Sun Conference awarded Lipscomb University's Tessa Hoefle the 2012 Atlantic Sun Women's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Thursday morning.
This is Hoefle's second year being named scholar-athlete of year after being awarded the title in the 2011 season. Hoefle is an English major with a 4.0 GPA.
The Lady Bison was also named to the Atlantic Sun First Team All-Conference after her fifth place finish in the 2012 championship.
She was fourth this season at the FGCU Invite and 13th at the Alabama Crimson Classic.
"Tessa deserves the honor for the second year in a row," Lipscomb cross country coach Bill Taylor said. "She runs incredible and works very hard on her academics. She also is a team captain, a spiritual leader and a great person. "
Junior Dani Walker, with a 3.45 GPA in Kinesiology, and sophomore Maggie Lawrence, with a 4.0 GPA in Biochemistry, were unanimous selections to the A-Sun Women's Cross Country All-Academic Team. Redshirt freshman Kendra Lobley also was named to the team with a 3.6 average in Biochemistry.
"It's a big statement that all three of our team captains, Tessa, Dani and Maggie, are All-Conference athletically and earned Scholar-Athlete team honors," Taylor said. "They are leading by example...leading from the front.
"We have wonderful people here who do things right. They encourage each other and hold each other accountable. It's an environment of success and these four women lead that."
The A-Sun introduced the new sport-by-sport Academic All-Conference teams in the 2011-12 academic year to recognize student-athletes who embody the conference's mission of Building Winners for Life. All the members of the team boast a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or better and participated in at least half of their team's games.
*Dani Walker, Lipscomb University (Junior | GPA: 3.45 | Kinesiology)
Svenja Meyer, Jacksonville University (Junior | GPA: 3.87 | Political Science)
*Maggie Lawrence, Lipscomb University (Sophomore | GPA: 4.00 | Biochemistry)
Kendra Lobley, Lipscomb University (RS Freshman | GPA: 3.6 | Biochemistry)
Kacie Niemann, Mercer University (Senior | GPA: 3.97 | Spanish and Pre-Physician's Assistant)
Morgan Keel, Jacksonville University (Senior | GPA: 3.68 | Biology)
* Unanimous Selection
The women's team is heading to Tallahassee, Fla., Friday for the NCAA Southeast Regionals hosted by Florida State University.
"I'm so proud of how we continue to excel at the highest level academically as well as athletically,' Taylor said. "To have four women on the Scholar-Athlete team, after winning the conference championship, continues to show that we have a very different and very special program here. When I say we are about success and development of our student-athletes in every way, this is an example of what that means."

Chris Young's 'Tomorrow' Video Gets The Lego Treatment
Chris Young's fans sure are dedicated. One fan in particular wanted to show his or her dedication to the singer in an interesting way, choosing to make a unique version of Young's video for 'Tomorrow' -- with Legos! It's a spot-on remake.
The Lego scene is set with a complete house made of Legos similar to the one in Young's original video. The Lego artist even added tears to the leading Lego lady for the full emotional effect. Although Young may not be as handsome in Lego form, his facial stubble, frown and mini cowboy hat give the plastic figure a lot of character.
The Young fan dedicated some serious time to making the music video. From the characters embracing to wardrobe changes, there are lots of tiny details the creator gets just right. The characters even appear to be moving in the four-minute music video, thanks to time consuming stop motion tricks. The video isn't technically made from only Legos. It appears the Lego version of Young covers up with cotton balls when he's laying in his Lego bed.
Before the credits roll, the female Lego is packing up and hopping into her Lego truck. It's as close to the original as you can get with plastic toys. Check out the Lego video above and compare it to the original below.

While GIP projects are designed to benefit Utah ranchers, wildlife and the environment, there are a number of secondary benefits enjoyed by the general public.
The videos listed here identify many of those benefits.
- Utah sheep improve Sage Grouse habitat
- Projects helping the environment
- Agriculture helping local economies
- Examples of UGIP projects
- The benefits of time-controlled grazing - Grazing practices that benefit the land, wildlife and ranching
- Good livestock grazing practices - A public affairs television episode on KTVX's "The County Seat"
- County Seat panel discussion - segments 1, 2 and 3
- Cowboy Ecology--Land EKG - Cowboys listening to the heartbeat of the land
- A Beginning Rancher - Next generation ranchers say why they care for the land
- See the video of a Beginning Rancher weekend at the Tavaputs Ranch in Eastern Utah - A music video
An important talk about the benefits of livestock grazing and climate change
Allan Savory: How to green the desert and reverse climate change
"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
GIP Board Members Are Recent Leopold Conservation Award Winners
Several Utah ranchers have received the prestigious Leopold Conservation Award for their efforts in demonstrating the highest level of environmental stewardship in their grazing practices. Three recent award winners currently serve on the State GIP Advisory Board. See videos about the Leopold Conservation Award winners.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit English 1-Pack - OEM
Please CallNew1 Year
Windows 7 is much simpler to operate than Vista, and just as easy as XP Pro, except you've got an even cooler interface than Vista (which is pretty cool no matter how you slice it).
Windows 7 also gives you more control over your computing experience. It provides a clean and uncluttered desktop, as well as more options than ever to customize and personalize your PC.
You told us what you want in a PC. We listened. And made hundreds of little improvements and a few big ones that add up to a whole lot less.
The best entertainment experience on your PC
Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, rewind, and record TV. Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium.
Windows 7 simplifies everyday tasks
With Windows 7, we've made it easier to get more done on the desktop.
- New ways to juggle windows
Overwhelmed by open windows? Windows 7 comes with three simple yet powerful new features called Aero Shake, Aero Peek, and Snap to help you instantly clear through desktop clutter.
Peek-a-boo: Aero Peek turns open windows translucent so you can see what's on your desktop.
- Spectacular new wallpapers
We spend a lot of time staring at our PCs. Aesthetics shouldn't just be an afterthought. That's why Windows 7 includes a slew of new desktop backgrounds—wallpapers—that range from sublime to silly. Or try the new desktop slide show, which displays a rotating series of pictures (ours or yours). Your desktop will never be dull again.
Windows 7 makes it easy to express your personality with creative new themes and other custom touches.
- Retooled taskbar
Since Windows 95, the taskbar has served as the go-to spot for launching programs and switching windows. Times and PC habits have changed. So in Windows 7, the taskbar has been completely redesigned to help you work smarter, cut clutter, and get more done.
Improvements to the new Windows 7 taskbar include thumbnail previews of webpages, documents—even running video.
- Improved gadgets
Gadgets, the popular mini-programs introduced in Windows Vista, are now more flexible and fun. Based on your feedback, we've done away with the Sidebar, so you can stick your gadgets anywhere on the desktop.
Favorite gadgets can go anywhere on your Windows 7 desktop.
Note: Not all features mentioned above are available in all editions of Windows 7. See the individual feature pages for details.
HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup makes it easy to automatically start sharing your music, pictures, video, and document libraries with others in your home. The new "Share with" menu, meanwhile, provides a speedy way to share individual files.
Concerned about privacy? So are we. That's why HomeGroup is password-protected and puts you in total control. You decide what gets shared—and what stays private. You can also make your files "read only," so other people can look at (but not touch) your stuff.
You can join a homegroup in any edition of Windows 7, but you can only create one in Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate.
Jump Lists
Jump Lists—new in Windows 7—take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.)
What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there.
Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e-mail messages or playing music.
Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen.
Depending on where you drag a window, you can make it expand vertically, take up the entire screen, or appear side-by-side with another window. Snap makes reading, organizing, and comparing windows a...well, you get the picture.
Windows Live Essentials
What is Windows Live Essentals? Simply put, it's free software that makes a PC running Windows 7 do more great things. Things like e-mail, instant messaging, photo editing, and blogging.
Windows Live Essentials is available from the Windows Live website. The free download includes:
- Messenger
Chat instantly with friends and family on your PC or mobile phone.
- Photo Gallery
Find, fix, and share your photos.
Manage multiple e-mail accounts (like Hotmail) in one place.
- Writer
Compose your blog, add photos and video, then post it on the web.
- Movie Maker
Turn your photos and videos into great-looking movies and slide shows.
- Family Safety
Manage and monitor online activities so your kids stay safe.
- Toolbar
Search instantly from any webpage.
Windows Search
In Windows 7, you can find more things in more places—and do it faster.
Start typing into the Start menu search box—and you'll instantly see a list of relevant documents, pictures, music, and e-mail on your PC. Results are now grouped by category and contain highlighted keywords and text snippets to make them easier to scan.
Few people store all their files in one place these days. So Windows 7 is also designed to search external hard drives, networked PCs, and libraries. Overwhelmed by your search results? You can instantly narrow them by date, file type, and other useful categories.
Windows 7 works the way you want
Performance improvements
Nobody likes to wait. That's why we designed Windows 7 to be more nimble and always ready when you are. Key performance improvements include:
- Sleep
Windows 7 is designed to sleep, resume, and reconnect to your wireless network more quickly.
- Search
When hunting for something, you want answers, not delays. In Windows 7, search results pop up faster. Sorting and grouping of search results is also significantly quicker.
- USB devices
When you plug in a portable flash drive or other USB device for the first time, Windows 7 can have it ready for you in seconds. If you've used it before, the wait's even shorter.
- Leaner and less busy
Unlike its predecessors, Windows 7 is designed to run speed-sapping background services only when you need them. Not using a Bluetooth device? Then the Bluetooth service in Windows 7 stays off. Windows 7 is also less memory hungry than Windows Vista—another under-the-hood tune-up that can boost overall performance.
64-bit support
If you've gone PC shopping lately, you've probably noticed more computers with 64-bit processors, and you may have wondered what advantages they offer.
Put simply, a 64-bit PC can handle larger amounts of information than a 32-bit system. Since it can use more RAM—4 GB and up—a 64-bit computer can be more responsive when you're running lots of programs at once.
Which should you buy? If you tend to have a lot of programs open simultaneously or need to switch frequently between programs—or if you just want to be sure your PC can take advantage of the larger amounts of memory available today—64-bit is a great choice. If you run only one or two programs at a time or have older hardware and software that isn't supported by a 64-bit PC, a 32-bit system is a good choice.
Whether you choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit system, Windows 7 is ready. To see if your PC is a 32- or 64-bit system, download and run the Windows Upgrade Advisor.
Power Management
Tired of your laptop dying when you need it most? Windows 7 is designed to help your battery last longer.
How? For starters, Windows 7 runs with fewer background activities so your PC processor doesn't work as hard and draws less power. Other innovations include less power-hungry DVD playback (handy on long flights), automatic screen dimming, powering off unused ports, and a more accurate battery-life indicator. So you'll be less likely to be surprised by a dead battery.
Leaner and greener: Fine-tune power consumption in Windows 7 to extend battery life.
Windows 7 makes new things possible
Windows 7 makes it a cinch to view and connect to networks on your laptop wherever you go. Just click the networking icon on the taskbar. View Available Networks displays all your wireless and wired options—Wi-Fi, mobile broadband, dial-up, or corporate VPN. One more click, and you're connected.
Windows 7 instantly shows you wireless and other available networks.
Windows Media Center
Watch, pause, and record live TV. Listen to your tunes. Show off your photo collection. Enjoy online entertainment. And do it all from your living-room couch. Is it any wonder critics call Media Center the hidden gem of Windows?
In Windows 7, we've made it even better—adding great new features (many suggested by you) and visual touch-ups. Windows Media Center is available in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.
Calling all couch potatoes: Windows Media Center in Windows 7 sports eye-popping visuals and better ways to browse
- More watching...
Windows Media Center supports more global TV standards and tuners, including digital and HD. It also now plays more popular audio and video formats—including 3GP, AAC, AVCHD, DivX, MOV, and Xvid.
- ...less waiting
Tired of trudging through TV listings or a massive music library? Zip to songs and shows more quickly using the new Turbo Scroll feature.
- Stunning new slide shows
Make elegant photo collages (with background music) using the new slide show maker—perfect for parties or family get-togethers. And check out the updated slide show screen saver—its stunning visuals defy words.
- Easier media sharing
Enjoy recorded TV shows, music, video—even when it's not stored on your PC. The new HomeGroup feature makes media available to any PC with Windows 7 in the house.
New gadget, bigger previews
A new Media Center gadget. Quick video skimming. More song and show details. Bigger, easier-to-see preview thumbnails. The improvements go on and on.
Windows Touch
Move over mouse: When you pair Windows 7 with a touch-screen PC, you can browse online newspapers, flick through photo albums, and shuffle files and folders—using nothing but your fingers.
Limited one-finger touch capability has been available in Windows for years. But Windows 7 is the first to fully embrace multitouch technology. Need to zoom in on something? Place two fingers on the screen of a multitouch-compatible PC and spread them apart. To right-click a file, touch it with one finger and tap the screen with a second.
Windows Touch—available only in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7—is fun to learn and easy to use. The Start menu and taskbar now sport larger, fingertip-friendly icons. All your favorite Windows 7 programs are also touch-ready. You can even finger paint in Paint!

Recently I have attended two people who have been the victims of crime.
The first was a 94 year old gentleman who had answered his door only to be knocked to the floor and robbed of his life savings!
The second was an 89 year old lady who had also been robbed in her own home!
Both, fortunately, suffered very minor injuries. But the shock of the incident had left them both extremely shaken. The gentleman had manged to hit one of the scum as they left his house, but he still felt ashamed at not being able to do more.
The lady was frightened to death that they would come back again. She did not want to stay in her home anymore…her home of more than 40 years.
perpetrators criminals thieves pond-scum that came into their lives were young males. Real hard men who operate in twos just in case they have to defend themselves against attack whilst they go about their daily career of ruining other peoples lives.
See this post by Inspector Gadget
Both the lady and the gentleman had led good, honest, fruitful lives. Both having raised families and both living on their own, not wanting to be a burden on anyone. The thing that struck me about both jobs was that they both thought they were wasting our time and the Polices time.
(As opposed to a lot of today's "yoof" who demand attention for the smallest of inconsequential mishaps!)
Now I know that this sort of thing has been going on for years and years since the 50s/60s etc. But nowadays when you see the scumbags caught they see it as just an inconvenience, depriving them of their right to roam the streets, to attack and maim innocent people.
Another Incident posted by The Phantom Policeman
Its about time that the so called Judiciary of Magistrates/Judges of this country got off their fat arses and attend some of these jobs where peoples lives have been changed forever. Then they might give out some appropriate sentences.
A Worrying Article on the State of this Once Great Country…
Lets us not allow the SCUM to get away!

A better drawbar hitch
Brian Olson's decade-long quest to bring a better, more compatible tractor/implement drawbar hitching system to farmers is finally paying off. His idea also struck a chord with readers, who responded in droves to make it the most requested product from all of our pages in 1997.
Since Farm Industry News first reported on this farmer turned inventor and his hitch system over a year ago, the tables have turned.
"Farmers have been the driving force behind getting dealers and manufacturers to adopt this hitch," Olson says. Now, manufacturers, over 110 currently, are rapidly adopting his Drop Pin tractor hitch and accompanying Three-In-One implement hitch. In fact, Case Corporation was so impressed with this system, it has incorporated it into three manufacturing facilities with plans to eventually adopt it on all equipment. And Case dealers are currently selling hitches, which Case calls Auto Pins, to farmers as an aftermarket item.
Shortliners and other majors also believe in Olson's hitch. Deere has added the low-profile hammerstrap to its 8000 series tractor line, and other major equipment companies will soon follow suit.
And Olson's ultimate dream to get the entire global industry to adopt a hitching standard, to once and for all eliminate the frustration from mismatched hitching he knew as a farmer, is gaining steam. The Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI) is helping him get this system adopted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).
Although models and product availability are currently limited, Olson's company, Power Pin, will introduce five new models in the next six months. He currently offers four categories of implement-type Three-In-One hitches for $50 to 165, and one model of the Auto Pin ($225) designed for the Magnum tractor.
To learn more about these hitches, contact your Case dealer, call Westward Products in Jamestown, ND, at 701/251-2182 or Power Pin Inc., Dept. FIN, 3143 Neal Bay E., Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada S4N 6V9, 306/525-0323 or circle 244.
Get hitched quick
Kansas farmer George Hund got tired of getting on and off the tractor and hand cranking the mechanical jack on the feed wagon to hook and unhook, so he began toiling in the shop four years ago to find a solution. What resulted was the Quad-Hitch hydraulic drawbar, designed to pick the tongue off the ground and hook up the implement without leaving the tractor seat.
This top product from last March fits most Cat. II and III 3-pt. hitches. The quick hitch allows proper distance for PTO use; requires no implement modifications; offers bale fork attachments; and can pull heavy implements such as grain carts or four-wheel trailers without sway. And Hund's latest redesigned model, Quad-Hitch II, features an automatic latch so you can pull a nylon cord from the cab to release the implement.
Hund is looking for a buyer so he can get back to farming full time, and says he currently has several major manufacturers interested in the product. For more information contact Progressive Pioneer Farms, Dept. FIN, Box 750122, Topeka, KS 66675-0122, toll-free 888/456-4561 or circle 245.
Fix PTO drivelines
Tiger Tool, which specializes in U-joint pullers for big trucks, downsized this technology and introduced two new PTO pullers that attracted wide interest from farmers. The pullers are claimed to remove bearing cups without damaging the driveshaft, yokes, joints or bearing cups. You simply slip one over the yoke and turn the bolt to pop out the cup; no more hammering or traditional vice and socket removal methods. Model AG 5 ($120) fits smaller shafts and AG 4 ($125) works on larger PTO shafts. You can get both, plus two U-joint pullers for trucks and pickups in Kit 400, priced at $535. But for Farm Industry News readers, Tiger Tool is offering either PTO puller for $99 or the kit for $495 during the month of January. Contact Tiger Tool International Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 1420, Sumas, WA 98295, 800/661-4661 or circle 246.
Super storage
Frustration with a dysfunctional farm shop may have been a big reason so many readers responded to our story last January on Stanley's Vidmar storage cabinets, claimed as the "Mercedes" line of tool and parts storage. These guaranteed-for-life cabinets begin with a 2 1/2- to 5-ft.-tall shell. Depending on your storage needs, you can select drawer sizes ranging from 21/8 in. up to 25 in. deep. All drawers come with strong steel partitions inside so you can store dozens of segregated small parts or tools in any configuration. And the strength of the cabinet alone, which weighs approximately 600 lbs. empty, allows you to house up to 400 lbs. of parts or tools per drawer and then fully extend it to find items stored in the back row. According to the company, one 5-ft. cabinet with 10 drawers may be enough storage for most farms and would cost about $110 to 120 per drawer. Contact Stanley Storage Systems, Dept. FIN, 11 Grammes Rd., Allentown, PA 18105-1151, 800/523-9462 or circle 247.
A sharper bit
The Drill Doctor, a new concept in drill bit sharpeners, garnered high interest from readers in April. Made by Darex, a leader in industrial-grade tool sharpeners, this scaled-down unit for small bits is selling rapidly and customers are highly satisfied, according to American Made Sales, distributor for the product. The company claims it's as easy as sharpening a pencil; there's no guesswork on getting the right sharpening angle, plus it'll put a split point back on bits, all within 90 sec. Two models are available: model 500 ($129) sharpens 3/32- to 1/2-in. bits, and model 700 ($169) handles 3/32- to 3/4-in. bits. Contact American Made Sales Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 106, Side Lake, MN 55781, 800/626-6015 or circle 248.
Fits-all sockets
Tools, especially those that serve multiple functions, continue their popularity among readers. Such is the case with the Gator Grip and Li'l Gripper universal sockets. While the exterior looks like a normal socket, inside are 54 steel pins on individual springs that grip any hex, wing or square nut from 1/4 to 3/4 in. (Gator Grip) or 1/4 to 9/16 in. (Li'l Gripper). The company claims the sockets handle 250 ft.-lbs. torque, power that would snap a normal 3/8-in. ratchet. Price: $15 to 20. Check for it at your local True Value hardware store or Wal-Mart or buy it direct from Endeavor Tool Co., Dept. FIN, Box 300, Guilford, CT 06437, 203/453-1947 or circle 249.
Stop battery drain
Almost everyone has experienced the frustration of a dead battery due to lights left on or other such voltage drain problems, hence the popularity of the new PriorityStart! device among readers. Not only was it tops among our readers, but Motor Trend named it one of its most innovative products for 1997. This patented computerized electromechanical switch constantly monitors battery voltage. Once a drain begins, this device automatically disconnects the load when voltage falls to a predetermined level, leaving you with enough power to start the vehicle. Price: $80. Contact BLI International, Dept. FIN, 17939 Chatsworth St., Suite 521, Granada Hills, CA 91344, 800/780-8276 or circle 250.
Pickup with a trunk
Many readers liked the concept of storing tools and parts inside the panels of a pickup box, rather than in the typical toolbox that takes up valuable room in your truck bed. The Hide 'N Side, which originally was going to use composite panels to replace existing box side panels to create the storage area, has now switched to an entire box replacement. By mid-1998, the company plans to have a localized truck dealer network set up to sell and install its unique storage beds, made from the same sheet metal that truck makers use. Hide 'N Side plans to offer both 6 1/2- and 8-ft. boxes to fit certain Ford, Chevy and Dodge midsize pickups (8,500 to 10,000 lbs. GVW), at an installed cost of under $3,000. Locking side panels will flip up, allowing 20 cu. ft. of storage for the 6 1/2-ft. box and 27 cu. ft. on the 8-ft. box. Contact Hide 'N Side Innovative Truck Storage, Dept. FIN, 2533 N. Carson St., Carson City, NV 89706, 510/583-1359 or circle 251.
A lower sidewall
Titan is banking its future on the success of this new concept tire, a low sidewall (LSW) design called the Grizz. Titan redesigned not only the tire, but also the wheel it goes on, which piqued the interest of our readers last summer. Titan believes the LSW will revolutionize off-highway tires, by taking out the "bounce" for increased stability and control, better bead retention, reduced inflation pressures and improved sidewall stability. They claim this is accomplished by increasing the size of the wheel, decreasing the sidewall height and changing the bead seat angle so the tire stays on the rim under heavy torque requirements.
Product development and testing continue, and Titan plans to roll out smaller ATV and skid-steer LSW tire/wheel packages first before pursuing larger tractor tires. Contact Titan International Inc., Dept. FIN, 2701 Spruce St., Quincy, IL 62301, 217/228-6011 or circle 252.
Powerfull cordless
Readers annoyed by the occasional buzzing of older cordless phone models took a liking to the new 900MHz digital cordless phone from Lucent Technologies that claims to offer ultraclear sound up to 4,000 ft. from its base. Since we introduced model 9510 back in our May/June issue, Lucent has introduced a slimmer and trimmer improved model 9515. Features include automatic frequency-hopping among 173 channels to find the clearest signal; Eaveslock security to make the signal virtually impenetrable; Power Reserve battery backup that allows use of the phone during power outages; a HyperCharge system that'll fully charge the battery in 90 min.; and a MultiHandset system that accommodates up to three handsets with one base, allowing handset-to-handset intercom operation, broadcast paging and call transfers. Price: $279. Phones are available at Sears, Service Merchandise, Best Buy and other national retail chains. Contact Lucent Technologies, Dept. FIN, 5 Wood Hollow Rd., Rm. 1H16, Parsippany, NJ 07054, 800/222-3111 or circle 253.
New GPS receiver
Ag Leader, the company that offered one of the first yield monitors on the market, received strong reader interest when they introduced the GPS 2000 receiver ($3,590). It provides position data for the yield monitor and can be used as a stand-alone system, picking up either the Coast Guard or Army Corps of Engineers differential correction beacon signal. Since then, the company has added the GPS 2100 ($4,590) that also offers satellite differential correction (from Omnistar or Racal providers). Ag Leader claims the 2100 offers users flexibility not previously available in the GPS market, because it'll pick up either the free Coast Guard beacon (if available in your area) or a satellite service. Contact Ag Leader Technology Inc., Dept. FIN, 1203A Airport Rd., Ames, IA 50010, 515/232-5363 or circle 254.
Alarm your farm
Numerous readers were interested in the new Drive-Alert driveway sensor that alerts them when vehicles are approaching the farmstead. A sensor buried alongside the drive detects moving metal (within 8 ft. of the sensor). A cable carries a signal to a control panel in your home, which will trigger pleasant-sounding chimes and/or switch on interior or exterior lights as the vehicle approaches, depending on which modules you buy. The Drive-Alert can be attached to as many as three sensors, which can be up to 5,000 ft. from the control panel. Price starts at $289 for the basic panel, remote chime, sensor and 100-ft. cable. Contact Mier Products Inc., Dept. FIN, 1500 N. Ann St., Kokomo, IN 46901, 800/473-0213 or circle 255.

Turn these tunes up to 11 and get your head bopping to these tunes this St. Patrick's Day. Photo by: Getty
Way back in the 1970s, Irish, Scottish and British bands – and the diaspora from those countries overseas – decided it was time to revive traditional Celtic music by plugging in and dialling up the volume.
It worked.
Celtic rock is a pretty broad category, and we're defining it as broadly as possible here – from classic Horslips and Moving Hearts tracks powered by electric instruments, to Celtic punk and modern sounds. Bear with us, though, it's all great stuff. Here's our top ten list, in no particular order.
Did we get it completely, utterly wrong? Miss a classic? Let us know in the comments.
1. Whiskey in the Jar – Thin Lizzy
This is the classic traditional Irish song covered by a rock band. So popular and well-known, in fact, that it was covered by Metallica years later. But it's famous for good reason – the way the traditional lyrics have been melded with that classic lead guitar hook was, and still is, brilliant.
2. King of the Fairies - Horslips
Horslips were one of the first genuine 'celtic rock' acts from Ireland back in the early 70s - in case you couldn't tell from the fashion in this video. It was shot from the top of the Bank of Ireland building on Baggot Street in 1973.
3. Dirty Old Town - The Pogues
The Pogues are usually thought of as Celtic punk more than anything else, but in this version of 'Dirty Old Town' (originally written in 1949) they bring their banjo and add a folk-rock twist with a harmonica and strings that makes it one of the best-known versions of this song.
4. Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette - Moving Hearts
Moving Hearts only stayed together for a few years, but they made a lasting impression on the Irish music scene, with Christy Moore, Dónal Lunny and Declan Sinnott all going on to have successful careers in their own right. This track has the lightning-quick tempo associated with much of the group's, and Moore's, music.
5. I'm Shipping up to Boston - Dropkick Murphys
Odds are you know this one - it's used aplenty in advertising and television, and for good reason. The crunching electric guitar goes far better than you might think with the accordion.
6. Drink the Night Away - Gaelic Storm
Gaelic Storm are based in the United States, and appeared in the 1997 film Titanic, where they played the Irish band at the below-decks party. In fact, one of their most popular tracks on streaming networks such as Spotify continues to be 'An Irish Party in Third Class.' But there's much more to the band than that soundtrack - like this cracking tune.
7. Dearg Doom - Horslips
Another Horslips track? Yes, and arguably their best one. The hook to this track is incredibly well known, and was used as the intro to the Ireland 1990 World Cup song Put 'Em Under Pressure. 'Dearg Doom' refers to Irish hero Cú Culainn, which the band translates as 'the red destroyer.'
8. Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
Flogging Molly have been flying the flag for Celtic rock in the United States since 1997. And with tunes like Drunken Lullabies, they've been doing a great job of it.
9. Great Big Sea - The Night Pat Murphy Died
From Newfoundland, Canada, Great Big Sea sing the traditional songs from their homeland. It just so happens that this region of Canada has strong Irish and Scottish roots! This song, 'The Night Pat Murphy Died, ' was written by another local man a century before, and has a definite Irish taste to it - and not just the name of the main character!
10. Saw Doctors - I Useta Love Her
The Saw Doctors have been playing for over 20 years, and in that time they've done Irish-style tunes that have covered plenty of different styles, but it's their first major hit, 'I Useta Love Her, ' that sticks around in people's heads.

text: Borreliosis is thought to be due to an infection caused by a bite from a tick that is infected with Lyme bacteria. Borrelia burgdorferi is the name of the bacteria most commonly associated with borreliosis. Ticks carry other germs that may infect people when they are bitten. Some of these other infections are Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia (rabbit fever), ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and bartonellosis (cat scratch disease). In fact, ticks may transmit an "infectious soup" to those who are bitten.

Summary: Healthcare Collaboration Customers Shine at the Olympics
Great Britain's Olympics opening ceremony highlighted many of their natural treasures from past and present, including their healthcare system. Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) was prominently featured, along with the National Health Service of which the hospital is a part. Both are Cisco Collaboration case studies.
In a fast-paced environment where urgency and efficient collaboration can mean the survival of a child patient, GOSH in greater London has invested in a Cisco intelligent network and solutions from our Cisco Collaboration Solutions portfolio including video, unified communications and customer collaboration. The National Health Service also has an interesting story about their combination of cloud and on-premise solutions from across the Cisco Collaboration portfolio to reduce travel, improve productivity and promote greener IT. As with most healthcare organizations, both want and truly need technology to save their staff administrative time so they can spend more time serving their patients and saving lives. The quality of care also depends on connecting staff to essential knowledge, media and communication when and where they need it.
Read the full Healthcare Collaboration Customers Shine at the Olympics blog to learn more, hear directly from the customer and see their highlight from the Olympics opening ceremony.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

New Trail Goodies for 2012 Spotted at the Outdoor Retailer Show
A few of the things that look impressive to me:
Pearl Izumi's $180 Ultra Barrier WxB Jacket which not only looks comfy, but has a few new features like an abrasion print on the shoulders to keep your pack from moving around. What a great simple innovation!
video review)
Instafire is a new innovation in fire starting that allows you to carry fire in your hands! Owner Gary Banner says, "It's a mixture of volcanic rock and wood pellets. The rock absorbs seven times its weight of our burning elements. A cup of InstaFire will burn from 20 to 25 minutes, with a flame 10 to 12 inches high."
The New Balance Winter 110 training boot has a flexible, water-resistant gaiter that you can fold down or up in changing conditions. Sounds perfect for snowshoeing.
Goal Zero's Sherpa 50 portable battery has been reduce in weight to a half a pound, meaning campers (and aid stations!) can now power refrigerators, laptops, stereos, and more absolutely noise free. Well, except for the stereo, of course. Sounds like an aid station must! I vote for the beer fridges at every aid station, and we do the ultra version of the beer mile.
Columbia is now using their thermal reflective Omni-heat technology in footwear, such as in the Master Fly multisport shoe. I bought Christi one of the battery-powered heated Columbia jackets for the holidays (it is called the "Snow Hottie", after all), and it's lined with the super-warm, water resistant Omni-heat layer. The jacket is a little spendy, and a tad bit Tron Goes Skiing, but you thank your lucky stars when you get six hours of delicious battery-powered warmth seeping into your bones. Another aid station volunteer gear must!
Fria has a new pack for dogs...think they make them in pug sizes?!?
The new Zipfy Mini Luge super-fast sled. Yeah? Oh, hell yeah. I can see it now...Zipfy + GoPro Camera = a whole new genre of blooper/crash videos.

Cool! Thanks for the post.ReplyDelete
BTW I like the new look!ReplyDelete
I would be totally in for a beer ultra. Say 5 beers during a 50K? Maybe there could be an adjustment for degree of difficulty (choosing the Russian imperial stout takes 3 minutes off your time, while choosing the light beer adds 1 minute -- I'm just making that up).ReplyDelete
I LIVE for comments! Please add your thoughts, let me know you stopped by, etc., and be thoughtful of others. Always best if you sign your name, of course.

I also found both Bossks at Target for $4.24 each.
Quote from: starwax137 on January 2, 2007, 11:13 AMI also found both Bossks at Target for $4.24 each.and im sure the prices will continue to go down, because nobody wants them.
Maybe at this minute they are tolling over how to simplify the packaging more or other options to reduce manufacturing costs. I think they need to get down to roughy 8-9$ a figure to make more sales and open to more buyers.
Who knew that their online store was worth checking out?
3. What does the future hold for the Titanium Series 3.75" Forged Figure line? It seems like the major retailers are clearing out the figures and ending support for the line, but there are a pile of 10-12 previously announced figures that have yet to be released. Is this line really being cancelled or will it be making a comeback this summer? **We would love to continue to support the Forged Figure line and we will continue to support the line through Spring of 2007. Unfortunately there was not enough demand for this figure line which has resulted in a lack of retail support for the figures by our retail partners. My advice, buy them now because they will not be around for long.
