Maple syrup drizzles over a square of cinnamon ice cream, then a sprinkling of pecans and a dab of whipped cream finish off this delicious treat. Try adding a maple leaf piecrust cutout baked with a coating of cinnamon sugar--or a crispy cinnamon sugar cookie from the store if you're not in the mood to bake.
Menu #5: Main-dish salad dinner
Cool down with a menu so easy you don't have to open the oven or turn on the stove. Buy a deli rotisserie chicken to keep the salad super-simple, and pick up some muffins or your favorite bread while you're at the store.

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Hickory-Smoked Chicken
Purchased Muffins
Ginger Fruit with Pineapple Sherbet (see next slide)
Tip: Store the Orange-Balsamic Vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Norris Valley Dam
The Norris Valley Dam was originally commissioned by the U.S. government as a pilot program for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The TVA was implemented in the United States to generate employment and electricity throughout eastern Tennessee.
Hungarian Architect Roland Wank was chosen by the TVA to be the chief designer of the dam. Wank was schooled at the Royal Technical Academy in Budapest and spent several years gaining architectural experience in Europe before he immigrated to the United States. His modernist aesthetic developed further during the design of the dam itself, and while Wank helped design the model town of Norris that was constructed before the dam. The TVA liked Wank's design of the worker's housing so much that the TVA Director David Lilienthal allowed him to make changes to the preliminary designs made by federal engineers (www.tva.gov).
The completed Dam supplied 131400 kilowatts to the area and upgraded the once strictly rural area into "modern America" where electricity and appliances were now a part of every household.
Wank's early drawings depicted the dam as though it were a sleek "powerhouse or modern sculpture" (www.tva.gov). The design encompassed Wank's ideals that public architecture should be grand, yet un-ornamented, mainly for the "comfort and enjoyment of many" (www.tva.gov). His design was intended to reflect the function and honesty of the concrete materials used as well as creating a public monument out of a purely functional structure.
The Norris Dam was constructed of poured reinforced concrete with dimensions spanning 1,860' x 256'. The dam creates the 129 mile long Norris Reservoir, and the Norris and Cove Lakes, and is located 73 miles up the Clinch River. The area is now in a Tennessee State Park and the surrounding areas are used for recreation and sports activities (www.norrislakeinfo.com).
The Norris Reservoir has 809 miles or shoreline and 33,840 acres of water surface (www.tva.gov). After the water is forced through the turbines the water level decreases several hundred feet off the backside of the sloping concrete structure.
The construction of the Norris Valley Dam began on October 1, 1933. In order to facilitate the construction process 2,899 families and 5,226 gravesites were moved into adjacent or newly constructed towns.
The Norris Valley Dam was the beginning of a long history of TVA sponsored dam building efforts in eastern Tennessee. The Hiwassee Dam, constructed in 1936 after the completion of the Norris Valley Dam, is 307' x 1,376'. The Fontana Dam (the fourth tallest dam in the world) was constructed after 1942 is 480' by 2,365' (http://newdeal.feri.org).
The dams of this area grew significantly in size as well as their ability to produce electricity for a growing nation. There are many smaller dams along the Norris Reservoir that are predominantly used to control the depth of the river and ensure that it can be navigated by marine traffic (http://newdeal.feri.org).
The construction of the Norris Valley Dam allowed, through gravity, for the Clinch River to turn turbines within the dam that generated thousands of kilowatts of electricity.
The Norris Valley Dam is a gravity dam, a dam that that resists the thrust of water entirely by the sheer mass of its own weight. The force of the water pushing against the dam is less than the force of the dam pushing down towards the ground, and the water that goes through the turbines generates electricity.
The main design elements of the Norris Valley Dam harped on the functionality of the structure and its lack of ornamentation. The structure itself served as the way in which a specific modern lifestyle constructed during this time in America was handed over to the once rural inhabitants of eastern Tennessee.
The dam was not only a producer and vehicle for electricity but of architectural style. The implementation of a new modernist style in a public, non-inhabitable space is much less controversial, and can act as an introduction to the unknown.
The American aesthetic of consumption and modern amenities followed the implementation on the dam, and changed the way of life for millions of people. Publications advertised the kitchen appliances powered by Tennessee energy that would now be readily available in the area. The standards of living were now changed forever.
The natural environment was also highly altered by the construction of the Norris Valley Dam. The flooding cycle for the area was eliminated, the Norris Lake was created, and entire towns were flooded to make way for both the lake and dam.
The Norris Valley Dam was the founding project of the Tennessee Valley Commission. The TVA was created to spur the economy during the Great Depression as well as provide electricity to the impoverished area of eastern Tennessee. Many attempts had been made to design a large-scale dam for this site in the past but private companies were unable to complete the task during the Great Depression. The dam's namesake Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska pushed for the government to take over. Before the 1,860' wide, 265' tall structure was built the Tennessee Valley Authority Act had to be passed by Congress and signed by president Franklin D. Roosevelt. The dam was a pilot project, planned to assess the success of large-scale water works projects in this area. After the act was signed into law May 18, 1933 and plans to prepare the area began immediately. In order to make way for the dam and the lake it would create several rural communities were flooded and evacuated from the site. Over 150,000 acres of land were bought for the construction of the dam. The town of Loyston was flooded to make room for the dam, and several new interstate highway systems were built to connect this area with the rest of the state, increasing even further the range of modern lifestyle changes that the dam brought to the area. The dam was massive in scale, yet its smooth concrete finish allows the structure to appear to be no more than a vertical wall, holding back a powerful river. Roland Wank was able to integrate the necessary weight of the dam with an aesthetic that highlighted a lighter, refined, and more restrained edifice that was in direct contrast to hydroelectric gravity dams of the past.
The historical significance of the Norris Valley Dam lies within its technology as well as within its social implications for the area. This specific dam was the first to be constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority; many other subsequent dams were constructed and used design themes found first in the Norris Dam.
The Dam is also intrinsically linked to the way modernism was interpreted by American of this time and area. The dam allowed for "modern" amenities to be enjoyed by the citizens of the area, and linked those amenities to a new way of building public works.
The town of Norris planned by TVA Chairman Arthur Morgan, was built on a small scale, with electricity in each individual home. The town also included specifications for the homes to be built with local materials, a porch, and with walk ability in mind. The planning of Norris plays out like a page out of New Urbanism, yet it is from the beginning of the 1930s (www.tva.gov).
The Norris Dam also helped the country pick itself up economically after the collapse of the stock market in 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930s. The project employed workers from the area and worked to spur economic activity through the production of sellable electricity. The Civilian Conservation Corps was also created at this time to survey the surrounding area in preparation for creating a land reserve that would eventually become part of the State Parks System. Additional workers were employed by this venture and the CCC still exists today.

Connecticut's health insurance marketplace has a busy first day with 28,000 visitors
The state's new online health insurance marketplace began operating as scheduled on Tuesday, receiving more than 28,000 visitors and processing 167 applications by 4 p.m.
A family of three was reportedly the first to sign up for coverage, which would begin Jan. 1. The site, www.AccessHealthCT.com, offers plans from three companies — Anthem, Healthy CT and ConnectiCare — each with three tiers of coverage designated as gold, silver and bronze.
Editor's note: This version corrects an earlier version.
Access Health CT, the quasi-public state agency assigned with setting up the marketplace under the federal Affordable Care Act, said its call center received 1,930 calls on the first day. There were some "sporadic issues" with website activity, the agency said.
"Today was not without bumps, but as far as launches go for a project this size, we were pleased," Kevin Counihan, executive director for the Access Health CT, said in a news release.
Jim Wadleigh, chief information officer of Access Health CT, said his staff is working to fix some issues that arose on the site's first day of operations.
"We were pleased to be able to handle the influx of volume across a diverse array of individual and small business clients," he said.
Of the 167 applications processed Tuesday, 83 were for one of the three commercial plans and included government subsidies to offset premium costs. The remaining 84 were applications for Medicaid coverage. The initial enrollment period will last for six months.
As part of its outreach efforts, Access Health CT trained 1,000 community-based assisters to sign people up for the insurance on laptops. In southeastern Connecticut, two pharmacies and nine nonprofit organizations sent staff members for assister training.
At the Medicine Shoppe pharmacy in New London, pharmacy technician Sarah Derosa completed the training but has not yet received her laptop from Access Health CT, Nagy Wassef, store owner, said Tuesday. She was expecting to receive it today. Once she has the laptop, she will be working with customers at the store as well as visiting local businesses and agencies to help people sign up for health insurance, he said.
Connecticut's experience appears to be a bright spot compared to elsewhere in the country. Several other states reported glitches as their sites went live and traffic to the sites was heavy. Some users said they had trouble setting up accounts.
State and federal agencies were working to fix the sites, which represent the biggest expansion in coverage in nearly 50 years and is the centerpiece of Obama's health care law.
Administration officials said they are pleased with the strong consumer interest but declined to say how many people nationwide actually succeeded in signing up for coverage.
By Tuesday afternoon, at least 2.8 million people had visited the healthcare.gov website, said Medicare administrator Marilyn Tavenner, whose office is overseeing the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. The website had seven times the number of simultaneous users ever recorded on the medicare.gov site.
In Obama's home state, dozens of people who came to a Champaign, Ill., public health office to sign up for coverage found computer screens around the room flashing an error message: "System is unavailable."
Kimberly Shockley — logging in from Houston, Texas — and Mike Weaver, who lives in rural southern Illinois, ran into the same glitch as many others: They could not get past the security questions while trying to set up their personal accounts through healthcare.gov.
"I'm frustrated, very frustrated," said Shockley, a self-employed CPA. She spent more than an hour trying to get the security questions to work without success. When she clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested security questions, none appeared. She then tried to create her own questions, but that didn't work, either.
Weaver, a self-employed photographer, said he also ran into problems with the drop-down menus. And when they started working, he still wasn't able to set up his account.
"The first day of something that you know is going to have a lot of bugs, it's not that frustrating," he said. "If it was the last day to sign up ... then I'd be terribly frustrated."
Shockley has health insurance but is looking for a better plan. Weaver is uninsured.
State-operated sites also experienced trouble.
Minnesota got its site running after a delay of several hours. Rhode Island's site recovered after a temporary crash. A spokesman for the New York Department of Health blamed difficulties on the 2 million visits to the website in the first 90 minutes after its launch. Washington state's marketplace used Twitter to thank users for their patience.
Exchange officials in Colorado said their website would not be fully functional for the first month, although consumers will be able to get help applying for government subsidies during that time. Hawaii's marketplace wasn't allowing people to compare plans and prices.
California, home to 15 percent of the nation's uninsured, reported delays online and on the phone because of heavy volume. The first completed health insurance application was taken at 8:04 a.m., just minutes after the exchange opened.
In Portsmouth, N.H., Deborah Lielasus tried to sign up for coverage but got only as far as creating an account before the website stopped working. She said she expected problems.
Lielasus, a 54-year-old self-employed grant writer, currently spends about $8,500 a year in premiums and more than $10,000 for out-of-pocket expenses because she has a health condition and her only option has been a state high-risk insurance pool. She said she expects those costs to decrease significantly.
As excited as she was to sign up, she said, her anticipation was tempered by dismay over the government shutdown that was led by congressional Republicans who want to block the health insurance reforms.
"I'm really happy that this is happening, that this is being launched. ... I feel like it's a child caught in the middle of a really bad divorce," Lielasus said.
The shutdown will have no immediate effect on the insurance marketplaces that are the backbone of the law, because they operate with money that isn't subject to the annual budget wrangling in Washington.
The marketplaces represent a turning point in the nation's approach to health care. The Obama administration hopes to sign up 7 million people during the first year and aims to eventually sign up at least half of the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans through an expansion of Medicaid or government-subsidized plans.
But if people become frustrated with the malfunctions in the computer-based enrollment process and turn away from the program, the prospects for Obama's signature domestic-policy achievement could dim.
"You've got to launch this thing right the first time," said Robert Laszewski, a consultant who worked 20 years in the insurance industry. "If you don't, financially you will never recover."
Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, which helped work for passage of the law, cautioned against rushing to judge on first-day performance. Numerous observers had predicted bugs and setbacks. Trained outreach workers in many states are having trouble getting the certification they need to start helping people to enroll.
In Texas, a federally funded network of "navigators" hired to help people enroll was off to a rocky start because of backtracking participants — including some cowed by the politics of the health law.
At least four regional government councils — covering more than 30 counties statewide — reversed course in the past two weeks and turned away funds that would train navigators in their areas. Local leaders described their hesitancy as a mix of uncertainty surrounding state rules and a fear of running afoul of Republican leaders.
Many states predicted that an initial surge of interest would test the online system, but they expect most people to sign up closer to Dec. 15, which is the deadline for coverage to start Jan. 1. Customers have until the end of March to sign up in order to avoid tax penalties.
Under the law, health insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to someone with a pre-existing medical condition and cannot impose lifetime caps on coverage. They also must cover a list of essential services, ranging from mental health treatment to maternity care.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity Star Wars fans (who also play Angry Birds) can finally rejoice as version 220.127.116.11 of Rovio's Angry Birds Star Wars edition has gone live, bringing with it the 'Hoth' level update.
The Hoth update famously went live to iOS way back on November 29th, giving Windows Phone users two months and some odd days to ponder what it would be like. In between, a version for Windows Phone 7 also came out that app lacked Xbox Live features. Only the version for Windows Phone 8 received the 'Hoth' update today.
Italian site Plaffo reports that 40 new levels have been which is 20 more than what iOS received—so either Plaffo is wrong or we're getting something even more with this update.
Angry Birds Star Wars is Rovio's attempt at being more aggressive on Windows Phone (and Windows 8) by releasing more games featuring Angry Birds and more frequent updates for them. Indeed, Angry Birds Star Wars is not yet complete with presumably the Return of the Jedi level coming sometime in the near future.
Likewise, as of this writing the Windows 8 RT app has also not been updated for 'Hoth' meaning Rovio still has some work to do, though we do expect a Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 update sooner than later.

Prostate Test Labs in Evanston, Illinois
Prostate testing is a very important element of preventive healthcare in men as they reach middle age and beyond. That's because risk of prostate problems, including prostate cancers, increases with age. So if you are in your 40s or 50s and haven't had prostate PSA level testing yet, it's probably time to make an appointment with a lab-testing center for a prostate test near Evanston, IL.

Why is it so important for men to have prostate tests?
Because an annual prostate test near Evanston, IL can potentially save your life, providing early warning for prostate cancer. Men are more frequently affected by this form of cancer than any other, aside from skin cancer. When it is caught early, before it has time to spread, prostate cancer can be treated quite successfully. In fact, according to American Cancer Society statistics, early-stage prostate cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 100 percent, as compared to a 29 percent rate once the cancer has had time to spread.
So what, exactly, is involved in prostate cancer testing?
Standard prostate cancer screening is done with a simple blood test, called the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test. It measures levels of PSA a protein made by the prostate gland in the blood. If you have high levels of PSA, the cause may be a condition like prostatitis or enlarged prostate, but high PSA can also be a sign of a cancerous prostate. For that reason, if you have a prostate test near Evanston, IL and receive results showing high PSA levels, it is important to follow up with a visit to your doctor, who may wish to send you for a prostate biopsy to rule out prostate cancer.

Good news if you're a fan of WhatsApp, the popular platform-agnostic messaging service that spans the world. The app, which has been receiving numerous updates in the last few months with the help of Nokia, has remotely enabled a new feature today: voice messages.
When users enter into a chat with a contact, to the left of the text window a microphone icon should now be present (see the photo above). Users can simply press and hold that icon to record a voice clip which is then sent instantly to the contact. The quality of the recording is excellent and it is certainly a welcome feature, especially with services like Voxer breathing down the necks of companies like WhatsApp.
On our Lumia 925, we don't yet see the voice messaging icon but on our Lumia 1020, we do. So like all things that are rolling out, this could take time before it hits everyone. Regardless, you won't need to update the app to enable this feature as it is being done so via their servers.
All in all, a pleasent surprise to what is becoming the go to messaging app for Windows Phone. Pick up WhatsApp for Windows Phone here in the Store.
Update: All Things D had an interview with Jan Koum, the company's co-founder and CEO earlier today where the new messaging feature was revealed, making an interesting read.
Thanks, Mohamed S., Shreyas S. and the site Plaffo, for the tips!

Posted on September 1, 2009
Oh, is there anything sadder than a shelf filled with copies of last year's bestseller? Was it Carl Sandburg or Chad Oliver who wrote that haunting episode of the astronaut on a distant planet who finds one page left from the bygone civilization, and all it says on the page is that millions of people had read the book and that millions of people would read the book. And then the last page crumbles in the astronaut's hand, and blows away.
It's a problem in the used book trade, too. "This is a First Edition of a Bestseller!" "So it is. Did you know that was a Bestseller because the publisher printed seven million copies of the First Edition?":
With the rare Bestseller that becomes a Cultural Phenomenon, something that not only sells millions but winds up on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and People, there is a definite progression by which a Bestseller becomes a Book Fair book.
1. We don't have it. (Do you have any copies of King Kong Meets Spider-Man? Well save me one if you get one in.)
2. We get two copies, pristine and unread. (Somebody got extra copies for their birthday.
3. We get about ten copies, all hardcover. (This means the paperback is out, and someone is making space.)
4. We get a lot of very nice copies in both hardcover and paperback. (This mans King Kong Meets Spider-Man II has just come out.)
5. We get copies of the hardcover without the dustjacket, and airplane ticket stubs as bookmarks. (Bought it, read, moving on. "I hear King Kong Meets Spider-Man III is coming out in July instead of April. Author must be running out of ideas.")
6. We get forty-five copies in two weeks, hardcover and paperback. Most of these are accompanied by copies of the sequel. (People bought the sequel because they heard about the fuss, picked up a copy of the original, and decided they couldn't see what the fuss was about.)
7. We get five copies of King Kong Mets Spider-Man III in one week, and the book's only been out for a month. The fad is over.
8. Until we start getting the movie tie-in version, of course.
There is a ninth step, of course, but I hardly like to mention it, since it is a source of tragedy to author, publisher, and Book Fair Manager alike. This is when you have a whole shelf of the book out for sale in July for five days AND YOU DO NOT SELL A SINGLE COPY. (I hope his next book's a hit. Not for his sake: for the sake of those poor old shelves.)

We love how Soft & Simple is a perfect pattern for 10-inch fabric squares. Quilt tester Mary Pepper chose two Layer Cakes (Moda's name for packaged 10-inch squares) from Collections for a Cause–Faith by Howard Marcus Dunn for Moda Fabrics to make the center rectangles. She used extra yardage from a dark print to surround the pieced center.

Grade(s): Middle School / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12
Bill Nye is a man with a mission: to foster a scientifically literate
society by helping people everywhere understand and appreciate the
science that makes our world work.
Nye has spent the past 20 years educating students young and old
about science and understands the importance of keeping minds active
after the last school bell rings.
"Learning can happen anywhere and at anytime – the important thing
is that it should never stop," Nye said. "We've put together fun, free
and easy activities that will make this the summer of learning versus
the summer filled with the dreaded words 'I'm bored.' "
Making science entertaining and accessible is something Bill has done
most of his life. Growing up in Washington, D.C., he spent afternoons
and summers de-mystifying math for his classmates.
While working for Boeing in Seattle, Bill combined his love of science
with his flair for comedy. After winning a Steve Martin look-alike
contest, he became an engineer by day and a stand-up comic by night.
Eventually, Bill made the transition to comedy writer and performer on
Seattle's home-grown ensemble comedy show "Almost Live."
This is where "Bill Nye the Science Guy®" was born. The 18-time
Emmy Award-winning show appeared before Saturday Night Live and
later on Comedy Central. During this time, he also wrote five kids'
books about science, including his latest title, "Bill Nye's Great Big
Book of Tiny Germs."
Bill's passion for math and science translated into a love of space. His
role as CEO of The Planetary Society, the world's large space interest
organization, has taken him across the globe. And one thing Bill is very
proud of is the MarsDials, two sundials on residing on Mars he created
with Cornell scientists.
America's favorite stand-up scientist hasn't changed much from that
kid growing up in Washington, DC. He still rides his bike to work. He'll
pull out his Periodic Table of the Elements from his wallet. And his
drive for helping others understand science is as strong as ever.

Fifteen businesspeople from 13 industries across the state were honored Wednesday night for their determination, industriousness, innovation and achievements at the fifth annual New Hampshire Business Review Business Excellence Awards.
These individuals were recognized for going above and beyond what it means to do business in New Hampshire. While each of them run or own a successful small business or organization, it is their vision, commitment, resourcefulness and generosity that embody the award's spirit.
Each year, dozens of deserving nominations are submitted and because this year's candidates were particularly strong, a number of finalists were also mentioned in addition to the winners. All winners, finalists and nominees and, especially the nominators, are congratulated for all their hard work and for contributing to much of what makes New Hampshire not only such a great place to do business, but a great place to live as well.
In the category of Business Services the winner was Deborah Osgood, cofounder of Knowledge Institute and BUZGate.org of Exeter, New Hampshire.
New Hampshire has many resources to help businesses that are just starting out, as well as for those who already have a track record of success. But that's the problem - we have so many, it's hard for business owners to figure out where to start.
Deborah Osgood thought so, too.
In the 1990s, she and her husband William created the Knowledge Institute and its Business Utility Zone Gateway, or BUZGate.org, as it is known.
Part Web portal, part forum, BUZGate.org points users to the information they need in just a few mouse clicks, drilling through literally millions of resources available in the Granite State and across the country.
What's more - use of BUZGate.org is free to users. It's paid for by private sponsorships.
In addition to BUZGate.org, the Knowledge Institute oversees myVirutal Business Incubator and currently serves over 1,000,000 small businesses and facilitates business-to-business relationships in all 50 United States and internationally.
Deborah is active in other business organizations as well. She serves as a SCORE counselor, judges Start-Up NH Business Plan contests and MIT Entrepreneurial Forums, and chaired the first Entrepreneurship USA statewide initiative for engaging youth in entrepreneurship. Most recently she has been mentoring an Iraqi business woman through a U.S. State Department pilot program.
But Deborah is far more than just business. She actively participates in many children's charities, nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs. Some of the organizations to which she lends her talents include the Youth Development Center, the Youth Leadership Program, Jobs for America's Graduates and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
If knowledge is power, Deborah Osgood of the Knowledge Institute is very powerful indeed, and she has made New Hampshire and even the nation a little stronger because of her efforts.
That is why she is tonight's winner for Excellence in Business Services.

Rear End Collision. Head On Solution.
Marissa was facing a potential insurance battle–for an incident that wasn't her fault.
A man backed into my car in a parking lot…and he lied about being at fault."MARISSA
The Call
When she faced a damaged car and a lying driver, Marissa didn't get mad—she pulled out her phone. With a single tap, she was in touch with her trusted law firm.
The Letter
After taking down the details, the lawyer drafted a letter to the insurance company—letting them know that Marissa had the law on her side. And it came at no extra cost to Marissa.
The Result
With this one-two punch, the other driver's claim collapsed. The insurance company backed down, reinvestigated, and found him at fault. And Marissa got her car fixed.

The 5th Annual Technological Forum "Banking industry in the era of FinTech: challenges for business"
Merger integration in a converging world
Technology M&A: January - March 2017 first look
February 2017 M&A at a glance
Technology M&A — 4Q16 and year in review
Operating in a new era
Technology is a multifaceted, influential and fluid industry whose executives must manage the art of being agile while focusing on operational excellence and meeting greater consumer demand. Our worldwide team of industry-focused assurance, tax, transaction and advisory professionals has the deep sector knowledge and technical experience to interpret the market and help you compete powerfully.
Key issues in today's technology environment include:
- Cloud computing
Is cloud computing transforming the industry?
The IT services now known as cloud computing have been around for decades, but they never grew beyond a small fraction of total industry revenue. Now, however, their time has come: over the past few years, a dizzying array of hardware and software available as services over the internet has emerged.
Consumers and businesses have embraced a multitude of cloud services, from mature sales force management services to email and photo editing to the latest smartphone applications and the entire social networking phenomenon. Further, researchers project an imminent inflection point in the adoption of cloud services by organizations both large and small.
As cloud adoption becomes widespread, its characteristic of enhancing business agility is likely to lead to an increasing pace of change for all industries worldwide. Adding fuel to the interest in cloud computing is that cloud services advance "green" agendas: they allow fuller utilization of shared infrastructure capacity, thus consuming less power and lowering the carbon footprints of their users versus alternative IT approaches.
Related content
- Social networking: creating a presence
Some organizations are creating a presence on social networks to promote products and services and to communicate directly with their customers.
- But when an organization creates a profile for this purpose, how does it define and communicate its privacy practices for the information it collects?
- And how should employees who communicate with customers on an individual basis use the additional personal information available to them from their customers' profile?
These are all questions companies using social networks as a sales or promotion tool should be asking.
Organizations also need to be aware that social media sites can be abused for fraud purposes and that the information that is collected by the site is not in the control of the organization and will likely end up "living" longer than the organization intends or expects.
Policies and training are key
It is important that organizations develop and communicate thoughtful policies that address interactions among customers, employees and job candidates.
Merely disabling social network use in the workplace is not a sustainable solution
The reliance on these policies is especially paramount in an environment where regulatory requirements do not easily align with technology and its common uses. Awareness campaigns and training must accompany the policy changes.
- Information security in a virtual world
Business is moving into the virtual world as more and more data is transmitted over the internet, and cloud computing, social networking and mobile devices become more prevalent.
Our 14th annual Global Information Security Survey confirms that information security is one of the most important issues facing organizations today.
Overall, we have identified three trends with a significant impact on the role and importance of information security:
- Physical boundaries are disappearing as more business data is transmitted over the internet
- The pace of change continues to accelerate
- Companies are moving from the more traditional outsourcing contracts to cloud service providers
Are you prepared for the risks?
- Getting information technology right
Information technology functions need to strike a balance between risk and performance.
But reality often falls short of this goal.
That's because IT's influence on the business has evolved so quickly that many IT functions are still struggling with how to marry their technical expertise with a new business perspective.
Top IT leaders are now facing broad challenges, including:
- Increasingly complex IT and business operating models
- Cost efficiency and transparency demands
- New regulations and new forms of threat
- Corporate responsibility expectations
Our research suggests that successful firms are focusing on these key issues and formulating their response at the enterprise level.

Useful Links Related to MINGW
Rather than wait for someone to migrate the community links from the old wiki. I'm starting from scratch and hoping any useful links that still work on the old wiki will eventually be added by the community.
As with the previous wiki page, please add links you think would be useful to the MinGW community. If you find errors or out-of-date links, please help fix them.

Notes on gtk+: GTK+ is moving from version 2 to version 3. I found support for Windows development for gtk+ 3 not only lacking, but antagonistic to the Windows developer community. I also found them unwilling to correct issues that kept their libraries from compiling out of the box on Windows systems. While Tor Lillqvist has been great about supporting the Windows community with his Gtk+ 2 builds in the past, I believe things are changing with Gtk+ support. I highly recommend looking into other GUI libraries before considering development with Gtk+. I'm keeping these links for gtk+ here and up-to-date purely for reference purposes only.

- yad Yet another dialog, this is a fork of zenity with many added features. Uses GTK+ 2 to offer Windows look and feel for user interface objects and offers cross-platform use. Support for MinGW has been added to the source code.
- zenity This provides a simple GUI interface for batch and shell scripts. It's been ported from POSIX systems to work with MinGW, msys and GTK+ 2. Similar to Dialog, but possibly less functions.
- gxmessage Builds with MinGW and msys if GTK libraries are installed. Similar to Dialog but slightly different functionality.
- Xdialog Builds with MinGW and msys if GTK libraries are installed. Dialog port using GTK instead of pdcurses. Use following configure options: ./configure --with-gtk2 --with-scanf-calls.
- gtkdialog Has much more functionality than Dialog or Zenity. Compiles and builds fine with MinGW and msys. However, when run to produce a dialog through a script, it hangs, presumably due to threading issues on Windows. Tried adding -mwindows -mthreads to CFLAGS and -lpthread to the libraries, but worked the same. If someone comes up with a good work-around, this is a great tool for scripting and a nice way to provide a GUI for command line C/C++ programs.
Unix Style Utilities
- Busybox-W32 Port of Busybox (common Unix style utilities) for Windows.
- Unix Utilities Ports of common Unix utilities.
- X server Port of X Windows server for Windows.
- bash Bash shell for Windows
- KpyM Telnet/SSH Server ( KTS ) Open Source ssh and telnet server for Windows. Source is available when you install. Older version of source is also available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kpym/
- http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/ Traditional implementations of Unix utilities. May require porting to Windows, but could make a good base or reference for source code for some of these utilities.
Build Utilities
Several utilities related to building, installing and version control are available.
Build Utilities - Install
- spkg Spkg is a package manager based on Slackware pkgtools. It's written in C so it's faster than the pkgtools scripts. It works on Windows or Linux providing a cross-platform solution to package management. Lets you keep track of, install and uninstall libraries and programs on your system. Also keeps track of versions of libraries installed and what files are installed so they can be easily uninstalled or updated with spkg. Works with standard tarball files (created with tar and gzip or bzip or lzma). You can set ROOT environment variable to point to your top level msys directory. Note: If you're using this with msys make sure your packages (tarballs) don't use any virtual directories under msys (such as /usr/bin) or edit your /etc/fstab file so that the actual physical directories can be seen and used within msys.
- depot_tools Used to manage source code such as Google's Chromium. One of the tools, gclient, manages dependencies checked out from different repositories. You can use depot_tools to download and install mingw and msys. See http://www.webmproject.org/code/build-prerequisites/ section on Using MSYS for more information.
- Wix A set of open source tools that compiles XML into Windows Installer based installers (.MSI), patch files (.MSP), transform files (.MST), and merge modules (.MSM).
Build Utilities - Version Control
- msysgit Git source code management for Windows.
- monotone Version control system with notes on installing and building with MinGW.
Build Utilities - Building
- cmake Cross-platform Open Source build system. Can output makefiles compatible with gnu make and MinGW.
- premake Generates cross-pltaform project and makefiles.
- sln2mak Can convert some Visual C++ project files to GNU makefiles.
- scons Software construction tool using Python.
- bsdbuild Portable build system derived from BSD share/mk files. Works with Bourne shell (or shell supplied with msys) and make. Can interface with other build systems as well.
Build Utilities - FreeDesktop.org Standards Related
- pkg-config-lite pkg-config without the circular glib dependency.
- pkgconf compiler and linker configuration for development frameworks. Offers similar functionality to pkg-config, but completely written to be more efficient.
Build Utilities - How To Build with MinGW and Msys
- Evolution How to build Evolution.
- autohotkey Compiling autohotkey with gcc (MinGW).
Programming Editors
- SciTE Everyone has their favorite programming editor and this one's mine. It's highly configurable and functionality can be extended using LUA scripts. Here's a page with some configuration tips that might help get you started: SciTE Tips
- VIM VI has been around for ages. VIM is VI improved. With new features such as tabs, this looks like it might be every bit as configurable as SciTE if not more configurable (but takes much longer to configure than SciTE). Gvim is the GUI version of VIM. There's also an older version CREAM at Sourceforge with a more Windows friendly user interface for Gvim. If you run across any good tips on configuring Vim or Gvim with MinGW, please post the links.
- Windows Sockets
- Windows Socket Programming Tutorial Copy of no longer active site at archive.org
- Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook This looks like it could become a nice reference for C++ programmers and a good way to compare languages and find tips for converting between them. However, the C++ information is currently rather sparse. Maybe some MinGW C++ programmers can volunteer to help out this project.
Other Compilers
Tools from other Windows compilers can often be very useful with MinGW too.
- Open Watcom Check out their interactive debugger and icon editor. Also check out their C/C++ and Win32 documentation.
- lcc-win32 I haven't confirmed this, but it's rumored to have a graphical resource editor. This is a C only compiler (not C++), but resources are resources. Also, check out the C and Win32 documentation.
- MinGW cross compiling environment The project builds a MinGW cross compiler and cross compiles many free libraries such as GD, SDL and Qt in static form. Runs on Linux systems.
- HX Dos Extender The web site says its compatible with MinGW. The extender gives a way to run simple Win32 GUI apps in DOS.
- KernelEx This is an Open Source project that creates a compatibility layer for Windows 98 and Windows ME machines that allows them to run programs specifically aimed only at later versions of Windows such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
More Information
- Another MinGW FAQ The original MinGW FAQ revised and updated. Lists information the author of the FAQ found useful when working with MinGW.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Hunter Education Instructors Needed
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will be conducting a free Hunter Education New Instructor Training Workshop June 2, 2012, in Tyler, Texas. The workshop will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's East Texas Ecological Center located at 11942 FM 848, Tyler 75707.
"We will be training new applicants and currently certified instructors in skills trail, live firing exercises and home study procedures," said Robert Ramirez, hunter education specialist with TPWD. "The training puts fun and exciting activities into the learning experience. Students will benefit by going through actual hunting simulations and by making their own decisions regarding responsible actions using 'shoot-don't-shoot' scenarios."
Before you attend this workshop, you must go to the following web site and prepare yourself by going over the Introduction and the first 4 chapters of the instructor training manual. You will sign an acknowledgement and release that you have done this pre-workshop assignment as part of your training. The site is as follows: http://tpwd.texas.gov/learning/hunter_education/instruct.phtml.
Every Texas hunter born on or after September 2, 1971, must successfully complete a hunter education course. The hunter education program's goals are to reduce hunting-related accidents and violations; promote safe, responsible and knowledgeable hunting; and enhance hunting traditions and values.
Hunter education provides instruction in Texas hunting regulations, wildlife management and identification, conservation, ethics, firearm and hunting safety and responsibility and outdoor skills.
"By understanding hunting through education, hunters and non-hunters alike will help make a bright future for the sport. Now is the time to become involved, so let us know if you are interested in becoming an instructor," Ramirez said.
To register, contact Phil Brakebill, TPWD Hunter Education Area Chief, at (903) 569-5882.

Yeah, I agree particularly on the Coutinho one, Simon. The sturridge one - there was definitely contact, but not enough to warrant that reaction from Dean.
Really liking the way Coutinho handles himself. He's deadly on the ball, plays with pace and skill. Suarez continues to be the best player in the league for me. Bale is extremely good, but Suarez just changes the entire game when he's on the pitch. Lovely to watch him, Coutinho and Sturridge on the pitch together causing massive headaches for defenses.
Downing's goal was well-taken, too, I thought. Kind of a gift, but he was decisive and nutmeg'd it in through Vertonghen's legs.
Agree about SPurs not needing to worry about CL place, though. I think Everton are going to fall away, and Arsenal are still just as inconsistent as ever. I genuinely think we can challenge Chelsea for that 4th place. Gonna be a great wee run-in!

There's a lot to be worried about these days, what with gulfs drowning in oil, economies failing, racial profiling, etc.
Just one glance of any newspaper will offer plenty of fodder for worry. Perhaps you have some very personal worries about your family, finances, or organizational survival.
A number of years ago, my sister was diagnosed with MS. As you might imagine, that was a very scary time for our family. While we were trying to figure out how to best meet her changing needs, I was in touch with her often.
I remember a week when I'd been traveling, when we'd not talked for several days, and I called her saying: "I've been worried about you! How are things going?"
To my surprise, she bristled and said, "Please don't worry about me. You can pray, or send me good wishes or think about me, but worry doesn't help—in fact, it makes it harder for me." I was stunned. Here I was, trying to tell her how much I cared, and she got short with me.
And then I thought about it.
My sister was right. There was no way that my negative cloud of worry could have been beneficial to her, even if my intentions were good.
As I further considered what she'd said, I realized that worry had never changed the outcome of whatever I was worried about.
Not once. The only thing worry did was to affect how I felt and experienced what was happening.
And it never made me feel better. Not once.
But it wasn't enough to just not worry; I needed to replace the habit of worry with something else, and I chose trust.
My sister is very wise.
So, I made a decision not to worry. Ever.
I began to understand that it was a habit of my mind. My heart doesn't worry, my body doesn't worry, only my head does.
I chose to establish a new habit of consideration and trust—trust that people are tremendously resilient and that the universe could operate without my constant nagging interference.
But it wasn't enough to just not worry; I needed to replace the habit of worry with something else, and I chose trust.
Much to my surprise, I found that not worrying increased my capacity to attend to what was in front of me. All that energy I'd been using to worry was freed up for me to use in much more creative and interesting ways—like helping to change the world.
I also found that I was much more available for my sister. That was the biggest gift.
As leaders, it is important to notice how we spend our time, and to take responsibility for the impact we have on others. Our worry affects those around us, even when we think we are "managing" it well.
When I stopped worrying, it made a big difference in how I showed up in meetings, to my partner, and with my friends and family.
I had a clearer head because it wasn't all fogged up with rat-in-the-wheel worry. I became much more effective. And people noticed.
I invite you to take a moment and consider your relationship to worry.
* What does it represent to you? Caring? Love? Attentiveness? Something else?
* How might you care for, love and attend to those around you without bringing a cloud of worry?
* If you chose not to worry, what might change in your life? What might get freed up?
* With what might you replace the worry? Compassion? Trust? Meditation?
There's a saying that worry is a prayer invoking that which we don't want.
Imagine what could happen if instead of focusing on worst-case scenarios and fears, we put our attention on what we deeply desire and are working toward?
A movement of worried leaders is dreadful to imagine. A movement of purposeful, visionary, mentally and emotionally clear leaders is exhilarating!
In the coming years, we are going to need leaders who are of clear heart, vision, and mind. Leading from a place of clarity rather than worry could be one of our greatest tools. It frees us to be increasingly creative, inspirational, and effective.
So let's not worry. Let's be caring and concerned about our world, clear in our purposes, strong in our visions, and willing to act.

"I got to be honest, I personally think he's an idiot,'' White said of Bettman. "Since he's come in I think he's done nothing but damage the game."
Well that'll increase the candor and good vibes that have led to negotiations potentially reaching a two-week freeze.
More White, from the Freep:
"If you think of all the moves he's made," White said, "teams that are all struggling seem to be the teams that he put in places where there's not viable markets for hockey. Three work stoppages -- I don't know if he's in control of the owners or what he's saying, but I think it's only seven of the owners that have to agree on something to have something pass. You'd think it'd be at least 50%. It just doesn't seem like they're running a democratic process, if you will."
he's done nothing but damage the game? orly? white should be writing love notes to bettman for helping him make almost 3 mill a year - not calling him an idiot because of 3 lockouts that he had no control in preventing. it's funny to hear a player complain about expansion, though.

Videogamer.com reports development of Dead Space 4 has been cancelled by Electronic Arts (though a next installment in the shooter series has yet to be announced) based on poor sales of Dead Space 3. They attribute this unconfirmed rumor to "a source familiar with the unannounced project" speaking on the condition of anonymity, who tells them the game was in preproduction at Visceral Games, and that a small team at Visceral Montreal was working on prototypes for the project. Their source says Visceral Montreal was closed as a result of the game being cancelled, which supports a report from a couple of weeks ago where a former Visceral Montreal employee claimed the studio's entire staff was let go. They contacted EA for comment, and were told the company does not comment on rumor or speculation (except when they chose to).

A foot stomping gumbo of Roots rock, old school Soul, New Orleans rhythms, and feel-good "secular" Gospel! Winners of the Independent Music Awards "Best Live Performance" Category 2011, and Nominee's of the 2013 Independent Music Awards for best R&B / Soul song "Shine On", Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution is on a mission to make the world a more righteous place. The two main visionaries of this 12-piece explosion of love - Brother Joscephus and his eccentric cohort, The Right Reverend Dean Dawg - dip heavily into a musical gumbo rich with old school soul, roots, classic rock stylings, New Orleans rhythms, and feel-good "secular gospel" music. BroJo combines all this with a message of righteousness, urging us towards acceptance and loving one another. When you combine the music and the message with a one-of-a-kind, high-energy stage spectacle, you got yourself one hell of a LOVE revolution on your hands.


text: This course introduces a set of public health problems experienced by people affected by natural disasters and/or conflict. It discusses the many changes in people's lives when they are uprooted by a disaster, ranging from changes in disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods, shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, etc. We will explore what humanitarian interventions could look like if we want to mitigate the effects of disasters. The course content is a mix of theoretical knowledge and many practical examples from recent disasters. We think this course is unique because it contains so many practical 'real-life' examples and is taught be instructors and guest lecturers who together have over 200 years of experience in this field. The course consists of 10 modules totaling approximately 9-10 hours of delivered content with an additional 2-3 hours of self-work (quizzes and writing and evaluating a short peer-review assignment) as well as lively discussions forums. The course has been designed in a way that each module builds on the lessons of previous modules. However, modules can be accessed in any order and some can stand alone. You do not have to pay for this course if you choose to enroll without a certificate. Sometimes referred to as auditing, enrolling without a certificate means that you will have access to all of the videos, quizzes, assignments, and discussions. The only difference is that you will not receive a certificate upon completion. Click the Enroll Without A Certificate link to sign up and begin the course. Even if you enroll in a session that has yet to begin, you may access most of the course materials right away by clicking the Preview Course Materials link. However, you will have to wait for the session to begin before posting on the discussion forum or accessing the final peer-reviewed assessment. Visit the Learner Help Center for details about session schedules.

You have a unique medical history. It is important to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with Alzheimer disease. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and think of questions to ask. They may also be able to provide helpful information to the doctor.
- Write your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
- Based on my medical history, lifestyle, and family background, am I at risk for Alzheimer disease?
- What are the first signs and symptoms of Alzheimer disease?
- What does the diagnosis mean?
- Are additional tests needed?
- How certain is this diagnosis?
- How long does it take for more severe symptoms to show up?
- What can be done to alleviate symptoms?
Which medications are best for my condition?
- What does this medication do? Does it alleviate symptoms, slow progression of the disease, etc?
- What benefits/side effects will I experience with this medication?
- Will this medication interact with other medications, over-the-counter products, or dietary or herbal supplements I am already taking for other conditions?
- Are there any clinical trials that I might be able to participate in?
- Are there any complementary or alternative therapies that may help me?
What plans should my family and I be making right now regarding:
- Provisions for future healthcare
- Finances
- Legal issues
- Living situation
- How long will I safely be able to drive, work, or live alone?
- What changes in mental capacity can be expected over time?
- What changes in behavior and functioning should my family and I expect over time?
- How long will it be before family and friends can no longer provide the necessary care?

After 10 years on Capitol Hill, Jeremy Steward of JSteward Bodywork will be moving his massage practice to the Areis Building in Eastlake. As larger condo development projects blossom on Capitol Hill and other neighborhoods, small affordable office space becomes harder and harder to find. The Areis Building is a gem for small business owners and sole proprietors such as Jeremy. Massage practitioners, acupuncturists and mental health counselors make up a large part of the businesses within the Areis Building, bringing their clients and increasing commerce to Eastlake Avenue. There are few other office buildings in the city, let alone Eastlake, that cater specifically to small businesses. By providing professional & affordable small office space, The Areis Building is supporting a varied and rich ecosystem of businesses in Seattle, allowing all levels of entrepreneurship to thrive. Visit one of the many businesses within The Areis Building, and make a contribution to your own health and the health of independent business in our neighborhood and city!
University Bridge reopens after bad Monday crash that injured 2
The University Bridge was closed for several hours Monday evening after a two-car crash that caused life-threatening injuries for one driver.
According to the SPD Blotter, a Volkswagen Passat was traveling south on the bridge at 6:45 p.m. when it was hit mid-span by a Toyota MR2 that was traveling north. The Toyota crossed the center line and collided with the Passat.
Both drivers were treated at the scene by Seattle Police and Seattle Fire Department personnel. The Toyota driver was taken to Harborview Medical Center with significant life-threatening injuries. The Passat driver was also taken to Harborview for treatment.
Blood was obtained from the Toyota driver at the hospital as police investigate if the driver was impaired by drugs or alcohol.
The bridge was closed for several hours as the accident scene was investigated. It was reopened late Monday evening.
Christina Choi Little Library is Open for Visitors!
The Christina Choi Little Library is now installed on the south side of Louisa street just East of Lake Union Mail. Christina was Eastlake-raised, Eastlake-schooled, an Eastlake restaurant owner (Nettletown), neighbor and friend. Those responsible for building, painting and installing remain unidentified. Thank them with your use of her library.
Districts Now Map Unveiled
The Districts Now map now shows Eastlake unified in a district we share with Wallingford. Petition signature gathering begins in two weeks.
Eastlake UnSplit!
On Wednesday January 9th, the steering committee for the Districts Now campaign voted to unsplit Eastlake. In its original October 2012 launch announcement, Eastlake was split down its middle between the Roosevelt and Capitol Hill districts at Lynn Street. Thanks to the strong and positive campaigning of many Eastlakians, Districts Now agreed with our reasoning and shifted the boundary to unify Eastlake within the Roosevelt district.
The Districts Now campaign, the proposal for electing Seattle City Council by 7 district seats and two at-large seats, will enter the signature gathering phase in a few weeks to qualify for the November 2013 ballot.
Districts Now is on Facebook, for all who would care to "LIKE" the campaign.

Time change for talk on Eastlake trees
The talk on "Trees in Eastlake and Seattle" set for Tuesday, Oct. 16, at TOPS@Seward School library will start a little later than previously announced.
The talk, sponsored by the Eastlake Community Council, will begin at 7:45 p.m. Before that, you're invited to join your neighbors at 6 p.m. in the TOPS library to watch the second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
After the debate, Arthur Lee Jacobson, author of "Trees of Seattle" will speak and show photos of Eastlake trees. Bring a mystery tree leaf to get it identified and find out how to help inventory Eastlake trees.
