... HELLO and WELCOME to all WHO fans around the world!
This is THE page to fill MOST of the gaps in your WHO bootleg list. With a flood of WHO bootleg CD'shaving hit the market since the mid 1990's, it has become necessary to do a great deal of research inverifying their existence, authenticity and source.
Many CD's are copies of old vinyl bootlegs with different titles and cover art.Some include performance dates, others don't. Obviously this puts the averagebuyer at a distinct disadvantage, but even the most ardent collectors are stumpedby this problem. Many CD's contain material that has not previously seen life invinyl form. Often, they may contain all of the material previously available on vinylas well as additional or "bonus" tracks from the same performance / session,making the acquisition of these items a necessity for the "hard core" collector.However, with the average price of single CD's ranging from $20-$30 and double CD' ranging from $40-$50,this can make for a "costly adventure" when assessing the desire or need to acquire these items.
This page will attempt to clarify most, if not all, of this information for you. I have pain-stakingly researched and documented all items, whenever possible, to be as accurate as possible.
With your assistance, this page will grow as you make contributions to it. If you wish to contributeinformation, please cut and paste the format below in to your e-mail and include the followinginformation:
.....as well as any other pertinent information that may help in identifyingthe item. I will gladly credit you with the information you contribute bylisting your name and / or e-mail address if you so desire.
This is with all likelihood not a complete listing of all the WHO bootlegs that have ever hit themarketplace, but it comes pretty darned close and this is as good as it gets - for now!
Your questions, comments, suggestions and ideas will be appreciated.

Every morning, I take a One-a-Day women's multivitamin. The label advertises how the pill is "formulated to support" everything from bone strength to heart health. Taking the pill always makes me feel proactive about my health. I never doubted the common view that "vitamins are good for you."
In Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine, Paul A. Offit, chief of the division of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, delivers an epic critique of vitamins, the supplement industry, and our vulnerability to quackery.
First, he notes the Food and Drug Administration does not guarantee the quality or dosage of vitamins and supplements.
Sure enough, when I looked closely at my One-a-Day bottle, a scripted sentence stood out: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
Though in plain sight, I had never bothered to read this. Offit assures me I'm not alone. In 2012, more than half the U.S. population took some kind of vitamin despite the fact there's no proof they improve health. Indeed, Offit cites strong evidence showing that high doses of some vitamins are linked to higher rates of cancer and heart disease. (Two major studies last week found multivitamins failed to protect aging men's brains or help heart attack survivors. An editorial urged consumers to "stop wasting money.")
In this easy-to-read and meticulous book, Offit goes after personalities such as Suzanne Somers, Deepak Chopra, and Dr. Oz for extolling unproven care.
Offit tells how laetrile, an alleged cancer cure from apricot pits, failed actor Steve McQueen and Joey Hofbauer, 7, who likely would be alive today if he had had conventional cancer care.
Offit dwells on the work of Nobel-winning chemist Linus Pauling, whose 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold, declared that a daily 3,000-milligram dose was the cure. Pauling went on to assert that large, daily doses of vitamins could cure ailments from heart disease to AIDS.
Many Americans still believe vitamin C helps fight the common cold, even though evidence shows no such effect.
False pitches have helped make supplements a $34 billion industry. Many hospitals and doctors play along, although Offit's hospital recently became the first to discourage patients from taking most supplements.
He delves into why alternative therapies are so seductive. "Modern medicine can appear callous and insensitive," he writes, while alternative healers make patients feel empowered.
But Offit adds: "All therapies should be held to the same high standard of proof; otherwise we'll continue to be hoodwinked by healers who ask us to believe in them rather than in the science that fails to support their claims."
Many brilliant folks, such as Apple's Steve Jobs, have fallen for unproven remedies.
Offit argues there should be no such thing as "alternative medicine." If a drug works, it's good care. If it doesn't, it shouldn't be used.
Too many "alternative" compounds fail to meet the "evidence-based" standard of modern medicine. That's why all who care about their health should read this book.

PHILADELPHIA - A recovering drug addict with a long rap sheet was hailed as a hero for jumping onto subway tracks to rescue a man who walked off a platform.
Christopher Knafelc, 32, was waiting for a train in north Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon when he saw a man fall on the tracks. He jumped down to help, knowing that a train would be arriving in a few minutes.
"I had a plan if a train came I was going to roll him underneath," Knafelc told WPVI-TV, "or if I couldn't, I was going to ask someone to jump down and help me roll him."
He held the man's head and neck stable until firefighters arrived. Train traffic was halted.
Knafelc told the Philadelphia Daily News he has battled substance abuse since he was in middle school in Baden, a small town outside Pittsburgh, and spent years in and out of rehab.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority spokeswoman Jerri Williams said she spoke with Knafelc soon after his heroics.
"He's clean and sober for about 2 1/2 years but still trying to get his life together," she said. "I think by doing this good Samaritan deed he's kind of surprised himself."
She saw that as Knafelc recounted the incident on the tracks, "I could see the light go off, the a-ha moment" when he realized that after he was helped by many people in his past, he was able to finally help someone else in return.
"This almost instinctive move to save this guy made him see 'I am a good person,'" Williams said. "It's amazing. This incident may be the start of really good things for him."
Online court records show Knafelc pleaded guilty in 2010 in Pennsylvania to charges of theft, driving under the influence, child endangerment and driving without a license.
He came to Philadelphia, where his mother and a cousin live, two years ago to get a fresh start, he said. A telephone message left at what was believed to be his mother's home was not immediately returned Friday.
Investigators don't know what caused the man to fall on the tracks. Surveillance video shows him walking slowly toward the platform's edge and then over it. He was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition.
"He didn't thank me, but I know he was thankful," Knafelc told the Daily News. "You know what I mean? In my heart I believe he was."
Associated Press researcher Judith Ausuebel contributed to this report.

Quote from: SuperTux on May 08, 2012, 08:48:06 AM A reality show star was beaten by an actress.Which is which?
It's interesting to notice a fact: people wearing in green are hated in this season of TAR and SUR. Rachel Reilly on TAR and Colton Cumbie on Survivor.
Rachel had the last laugh
I think this poll is rather deceiving because I doubt Vanessa is that popular at all. It's more about do you like Rachel or not, and with some people hating Big Brother and the unsympathetic edit she was always about to divide opinion on this show.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Next week I and Alberto Ferrari will be in Seattle at PASS Summit 2012. You can meet us at our sessions, at a book signing and hopefully watching some other session during the conference. Here are our appointments:
If you meet us at the conference, stop us and say hello: it's always nice to know our readers!
Today at PASS Summit 2012 there have been several announcements during the keynote. Moreover, other news
Hi Marco,
do you have any post or article on the SQLBI site about this subject:
Near Real-Time Analytics with xVelocity.
I'm trying to implement a Near Real-Time processing system and I'm using proactive caching.I'd like to check if I'm doing it the right way.
I've read some articles about how to do it but didn't find real case implementations.
Can you recommend me any readings?
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
The discussion of the session
Near Real-Time Analytics with xVelocity
was about Tabular, which doesn't have proactive caching - so I assume you're using Multidimensional.
I have some experience on that, but I never written articles on that topic.
I don't know if you have specific questions - I can provide consulting services if you need it: http://www.sqlbi.com/consulting/remote
thanks for the answer.
I have the all the Proactive caching settings done.
But I can get more then 1000 db changes per minute.
I have partitions of 15 minutes data, that I've set to build every 10 seconds with the Silence Interval.
My main question is that I'm only getting the partition to be build once per minute and I wanted to understand if this is because the SQL is getting to much notifications of data change.
I've set the Silence Override Interval also to 10 seconds, but it doesn't seem to be rebuilding the partition every 10 seconds.
I just wanted to have an idea if this is the common behavior in an environment with so many inserts per minute.
Thanks you.
It seems strange. Have you tried using a 0 seconds silence override interval?
Consider also the time required for the process, if it's longer than 10 seconds, you cannot override two processes.
In any case, for a latency lower than 1 minute I would consider HOLAP storage mode (ROLAP partition for the current 15 minutes window)
Thanks for you answer.
I'll try those options to see if I can get a more Real Time experience.

There is a method called tweening, which is kind of complicated...id look it up. Basically it updates the user input part of the program and everything except rendering every number of milliseconds, then, based on how fast the computer is will only render after a certain number of updates, to make the game stay the same speed with different framewrates. Another way is to just wait for a number of milliseconds after each loop, so it basicly limits the framerate from getting too high.
Or make an ugly, inaccurate, menu determining your comp speed.
One thing wrong with this method is it is very inaccurate
Another is, people will laugh at you for a long time.
This actually works quite well if the typical machine is vastly overpowering your game. In this case, they all run at equal speeds. However, if there is a chance the game will run on older hardware, then this will really kill it on many systems that would otherwise have managed OK.Another way is to just wait for a number of milliseconds
The other way dirkduck was referring to is a fair bit more complex, but if you can hammer out the logic once, then it is easily reusable and really quite professional. A slightly less sophisticated but easier to implement approach would be to set up your timing and delay if the frame rate is too high.
long mils;
mils=0; // Updated with the clock.
game code;
while(mils > const_num_you_like)
do nothing but update mils.
That takes care of things pretty nicely. The only disadvantage is that you aren't doing anything in the do_nothing loop at the end, but you could add anything useful there that you like.

Allegro precompiled Installer for Dev-C++, MSVC, and Borland: http://galileo.spaceports.com/~springs/
Last I saw tweening was the process of moving vertexes or linear interpolating between two vertexes to produce animation. The DirectX 8 SDK example is that of a dolphin moving up and down.
Are you sure you are not talking about keyframing or something else?
Bubba - ive never heard of that kind, maybe theres two different things called tweening or something.
It's called vertex-tweening, as far as I know.Last I saw tweening was the process of moving vertexes or linear interpolating between two vertexes to produce animation. The DirectX 8 SDK example is that of a dolphin moving up and down
So did you get MSVC? or you're using Borland's? ( Don't tell me you just downloaded the SDK without having the compiler )
There's an article on gamedev.net about frame-rate independent movement, it uses the following :
Assuming the player needs to move 10 units per second ( a unit can be a metre, a kilometre, whatever ) :
In the middle of the Update() function that updates your application's state
LastFrameTime is the time the Update() function was last called
FrameTime = TheTimeRightNow - LastFrameTime;
This is the time taken by each frame ( we're assuming constant frame rate, which isn't true, but it simplifies things )
FrameRate = 1/FrameTime ( This is the instantaneous frame rate )
If FrameRate is 60, for example, then we need to move 10/60 units per frame in order to move 10 units per second.
That means : we always move by UnitsPerSecond/FrameRate which is exactly equivalent to UnitsPerSecond * FrameTime

One man's salt must not burden another man's water
The era of massive federal reclamation projects is long over, yet a changing climate will demand more work from less water. And so a new movement — watershed management — has quietly taken the place of building the big dams.
Visit the tiny town of Mancos near Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado to see the new, watershed-way of doing business up and down the Colorado River, where one man's salt used to burden another man's water.
When irrigation water passes through shale-derived soils, the water acquires heavy loads of dissolved salts. The most notorious of these salty soils is Mancos Shale. In resourceful Mancos, however, local groups are using their own funds and federal grants to restore damaged rivers to healthy ecological conditions. The source of the federal matching money is an excise tax on utility companies downstream on the Colorado River. Generators need clean water for their cooling towers and for making the steam that drives turbines. Other influential interests are also demanding less salty water, ranging from the government of Mexico and environmentalists to farmers in southern California's Imperial Valley. Thanks to the leadership of the Environmental Protection Agency, we're learning that river restoration works best on a local watershed scale. And now the Natural Resource Conservation Service is making federal grants available to local groups such as the Mancos Soil Conservation District.
In the past, the Bureau of Reclamation would have built an expensive energy-consuming desalinization plant in southern California. According to BuRec figures, the cost of desalinization in California would be $400 per ton of salt. The cost of desalinization at the headwaters of the Colorado River is about $40 per ton. So it makes economic sense to address the salt problem at its sources. Starting at the headwaters also provides related cultural and ecological benefits to much-abused rivers and streams.
The locals in Mancos are building a pipeline system that will improve irrigation practices and thereby reduce the salts at their source. The Natural Resource Conservation Service contracts with the local ditch company and monitors construction of the pipeline. Landowners and ditch companies contribute 25 percent of the project's cost.
The project treats 7,000 acres in the Mancos Valley, helping to remove 12,000 tons of salt per year, thanks to 10 buried delivery lines and 60 new irrigation systems. What's more, ranchers have enhanced or established 354 acres of wildlife and wetland habitat. This is an important consideration, according to Dr. Peter Stacey of the University of New Mexico, who has done ecological studies of the project.
The Mancos River is only 116 miles long, though it drains an area of 800 square miles. Annual precipitation at the upper end averages 40 inches, most of it in the form of snow. At the lower end, where the Mancos River joins the San Juan River in northwestern New Mexico on the Navajo Reservation, annual precipitation averages only 8 inches.
How does the project work? Consider the traditional irrigation system on Dick White's ranch near Mancos. Some of the ditches on the Lazy F/W were built in 1878. Operation and maintenance for flood irrigation require heavy manual labor, but thanks to the new, buried pipeline that has replaced the ditches, White now has the gravity-powered water pressure to drive an efficient network of irrigation sprinklers that he can run and service himself. Sprinklers are a lot more efficient and easier on the soil than flood irrigation.
"Opening a valve is easier than lifting a shovel," White says. "I want to keep the Mancos Valley green, but I can't do it alone."
This is an important consideration in maintaining the health of a ranching community whose members are mostly on the far side of 50. If they can't stay in the hay business, then developers will find a way to access the water that is essential to subdivide these open lands. And if the culture of irrigated agriculture declines, then little watersheds like the Mancos will not be able to defend themselves and their water against rapacious downstream users.
Rancher White has done his part in many ways. In addition to donating a conservation easement to the local land trust, White has given an agricultural easement over another part of the ranch, meaning that it will always stay undeveloped and in hay production.
South of Mancos, there is an old cemetery. A bronze marker commemorates "the Beacon on the Hill," a community building where lonely settlers socialized during the early years. Visible from the entire valley, it radiated hope. It still does.

Some people are upset that Rupert Sheldrake is a pseudoscientific kook whose nonsense has been purged from the official collection of TED talks. To my surprise, I just learned that it is all my fault.
Talks from Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock given at the TEDx Whitechapel event titled "Visions for Transition: Challenging Existing Paradigms and Redefining Values" were both banned following recommendations from a faceless "Science Board," which turned out to be heavily influenced by the most unsavory of militant atheists. The most active in the controversy appears to be PZ Myers, who is accustomed to being publicly denounced by even atheist organizations and figures for inflammatory writings and such tone-deaf stunts as ripping out pages of the Qur'an, piercing them with a nail, throwing them in the trash with coffee grounds and a banana peel, and proceeding to photograph the scene for his blog.
I found the logical progression interesting: from "Science Board" to "the most unsavory of militant atheists" to inflammatory me to desecrating the Qur'an.
I'm happy to be called an unsavory atheist, but let's be clear here: I am not an any board associated with TED, I do not consider myself particularly influential in that way, the fact that my writing is regarded as inflammatory and that some atheists detest me does not make me "militant", and my acts of desecration have nothing to do with the issue at hand anyway (by the way, it's weird to say I just tore up the Qur'an — I got two letters from Muslims afterwards, one approving and another saying it was irrelevant because I defamed a translation, which doesn't count; I also desecrated a copy of The God Delusion, with no objections and even approval from its author; and I destroyed a communion wafer, which prompted uncounted masses of letters and emails and public denunciations from the Catholic League).
How can anyone trust the logic of someone like the author of that cranky blog post who gets everything wrong?

Storytime, Top 10, WOLCOTT RALLIED DOWN 28 POINTS, and 1,414 other words (sorry we're tardy)
A coach is supposed to give the rah-rah "it ain't over until it's over" speech whenever his (or her) team is trailing.
Wolcott coach Jason Pace gave his team one last Friday, even though he wasn't feeling too optimistic.
The Eagles trailed Seymour by 28 points late in the first half.
Wolcott proceeded with a record-setting comeback. It scored 35 in the second half, capped off by Vincent Gambino's 21-yard touchdown pass to Jason Pelletier with 11.6 seconds left, to win, 48-41.
Wolcott's rally tied the state-record for the largest comeback in state history, according to the Connecticut High School State Record Book.
"I'm telling them not to quit," Pace said, "but I think in every person's mind — coaches, players, people watching the game — everyone just thought how in the world could we possibly come back tonight. But they just never gave up."
Pace believes that his team was still feeling the effects of a 42-36 overtime loss to Naugatuck in Week 2. They had a chance to win with over a minute left, but had an extra point blocked. Tom Longo, who Pace said is one of the Eagles' top two-way linemen, tore his MCL in that game, too.
"It was tough," Pace said. "Both of our offenses, Naugatuck's and ours, are similar (up-tempo). I think there were 165 plays run in that game, so our kids, they were exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted.
"It was a tough week at practice. It really was. You could see looking back at the first half (against Seymour), I don't know if we were mentally ready for that first half of football. That shows when they led 34-6 late in the half."
Seymour scored 13 points in the first four minutes.
The Wildcats led 26-0 with four minutes left in the first half and pushed the lead to 34-6.
Wolcott scored before halftime to cut its deficit to 34-13.
"I have to give Seymour a ton of credit," Pace said. "They were ready to go. We just kind of went through the motions and walked through it. We weren't ready.
"They woke us up in a hurry. Well, maybe not in a hurry as it took three quarters."
Pace and his staff implemented a ludicrous speed offense during the offseason made popular by Chip Kelly, which helped Wolcott score 28 in the final 16 minutes.
The Eagles tied the game, 41-41, with one minute, 41 seconds left.
"I'm running it through my head," Pace said. "Okay, there's two minutes to go. If we score, can he handle other OT or go for the win?
"I said there's too much time to go for (two) now, so we kick it. We come back and kick it off. The first play, we stop them at the line, and I used a timeout. I think my coaches were saying, 'what in the heck are you doing?' My goal was to get the ball back. Second down. Incompletion. Third down. Incompletion again. So I still had a timeout in my pocket."
Wolcott began its final drive at its own 43. Gambino ran for a 19-yard gain. Joe Lynch followed with two run for 10 yards to give his team first-and-10 at the Seymour 29.
Gambino threw an 8-yard pass to Jayson Matos, followed by his game-winner to Pelletier.
"I'm thinking, 'it still isn't over yet,'" Pace said. "There's still over 10 seconds left. The kids are all pumped up. … but I told them don't assume this is over."
It was, though.
Gambino completed 21 of 37 passes for 410 yards with five touchdowns and two inceptions. He also ran eight times for 54 yards.
The Eagles' top receivers were Adam Santopietro (seven catches, 179 yards, two touchdowns) and Matos (10 catches, 183 yards, two touchdowns).
Joey Salemme ran 41 times for 171 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats. Frank Marcucio completed 4 of 9 passes for 102 yards and three touchdowns, all of which were caught by Christian Thurmond.
"The kids were very emotional," Pace said. "I was excited afterwards, but I was exhausted. There wasn't much I said to the team afterwards (other than), 'just don't do this to me every again.'"
Rick Wilson at the Waterbury Republican-American wrote both a game story and follow-up.

Everyone here at Polecat HQ apologizes for the delay in the weekly early Tuesday morning blog. Blame the gubberment shutdown. In a perfect world, we could send our elected officials to the Indonesian islands and leave them there until they were mature enough to work together. Reckon that after a few minutes of playing with these cuddly critters, they'd be handing over their personal checks and American Express "Black Cards" in order to get things running again.
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but way to screw up Academy football, too, dingbats.
(Take a deep breath. Take nine more. Go to your happy place. Think about Rosario Dawson.)
'Kay, end railing. Back to footballs.

In case you didn't hear, New Canaan stomped Greenwich last Saturday, 66-20. It got everyone at Polecat HQ wondering when the last time anyone hung 60-or-more on the Cardinals.
Our records only go back to 1982, and there wasn't an instance where anyone scored that much against Greenwich.
Xavier came closest last season during the LL quarterfinals (55-14). New London won at Greenwich, 51-33 (Sept. 30, 2011), the most points scored at Greenwich, according to our records.
Should anyone have more information, please contact us at Polecat HQ care firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Canaan ravaged Greenwich on Saturday. It isn't a classic Greenwich team, but would its pedigree carry enough weight to sway voters.
It didn't. Ansonia once again received six of 13 first-place votes, but picked up two extra points for 372.
The Rams lost one first-place vote and have four. They have 360 points, 10 less than last week.
St. Joseph received one first-place vote and leapt over Norwich Free Academy into third place. NFA received the other two first-place votes and is fourth. North Haven rounds out the Top 10.
It was also curious that Shelton fell out of its tie for ninth and was replaced by Newtown. Both clobbered unbeaten teams over the weekend — Shelton beat Amity (49-30), and Newtown downed Brookfield (35-7).
Alas, these things work themselves out. Some voters move teams as each week provides more clarity, and sometimes it doesn't take much to alter the Top 10.
You can find the rest of the Top 10 to your RIGHT.
■ ■ ■ ■
Sanity returned to the New Haven Register media poll as North Haven leapfrogged Xavier, more than a week after the former beat the latter, 42-28.
The Top 10 are: 1. Ansonia (24 firsts); 2. New Canaan (5); 3. NFA; 4. Middletown; 5. Southington; 6. St. Joseph; 7. Newtown (3-0); 8. North Haven; 9. Masuk (3-0); and, 10. Shelton (3-0).

There's that one question that has plagued Christians on anthropological origins. Many young earth creationists claim there cannot be any gaps in the genealogy, which is what leads us to dating the time frame of the earth being young. Old earth creationists, like myself, believe that there are gaps in the genealogy. The question is whether it explains anything at all and how much does it explain?
The genealogies are adequate but not complete. No matter how you read the genealogies, you must concede that there are gaps. For example Mt. 1.8:
Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah.
However, 1 Chron. 3.10-12 reads it differently:
Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, Jehoram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son, Amaziah his son, Azariah [also called Uzziah] his son.read more »

Jordan Danks, CF, White Sox (AFL: Peoria Javelinas)
Danks was one of the talks of the Carolina League during the first month of the year when he hit .322/.409/.525 for High-A Winston-Salem, but the second half of the season dimmed his star a bit, as his numbers dropped to .243/.337/.356 at Double-A Birmingham. He remains an impressive physical specimen, but if you take into account his entire playing career, including his high school and college play, more often than not he's been a bit of a disappointment. A .424/.513/.697 showing in Arizona is helping spruce his prospect rep back up a bit, but he's still 23 and just getting his first taste of success against upper-level competition. Even scouts who really like him don't project him as a star.

Mich. drug bills to drop roadside saliva tests
DETROIT -- A provision in a bill pending in the Michigan Legislature that would let police give roadside saliva tests to drivers suspected of being under the influence of drugs will be removed from the legislation Thursday, according to a cosponsor of the bill.
Critics, including university researchers, said the tests are inaccurate and would allow improper arrests of medical-marijuana patients.
Republican state Rep. Mike Callton said he planned to introduce an amendment removing the use of saliva testing at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday.
"There's a lot of things you can test for in saliva, but testing for marijuana is unproven," said Callton, a chiropractor.
"This would be like giving people pregnancy tests on the side of the road where you'd only have limited accuracy. And there's the issue of, 'I can have medical marijuana a month ago but I'll still have traces of it in my body, so I would be considered intoxicated'" by the tests, Callton said Wednesday night.
Two bills on the issue were intended to give police the same sort of law enforcement tools available in the arrest of those suspected of drunken driving. They called for the use of the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) system to access information about any pending cases of drugged driving involving a motorist.
With the removal of the saliva test provision, officers would rely on field sobriety tests to determine whether a motorist was under the influence of drugs.
The bills were spurred by a double-fatal crash last year in St. Clair County in which a repeat offender drove under the influence of painkillers, Callton said.
They would give police more tools for arresting drugged drivers, which Callton favors, but he said he'd been unaware of the saliva-testing provision until the Detroit Free Press called him last month for an article.
The bills' sponsor, Republican state Rep. Dan Lauwers, said he'd decided to remove the saliva-testing provision until the technology is perfected, "and then we can bring it back."
Lauwers said the larger purpose of the bills is to target drug abusers who have repeatedly driven while impaired. He lives near Port Huron and said there had been fatal crashes in his district caused by motorists who repeatedly abused drugs and who continued driving after multiple arrests.
"The goal for this legislation has always been to get these repeat offenders off the road," he said. The final wording for the bills was "still being worked out" Wednesday night, and it might contain language saying that new roadside methods are needed to test motorists suspected of driving while drugged, Lauwers said.
"Law enforcement feels very strongly that we, as a society, are going to need this, and not just for marijuana but for all of the controlled substances," including prescription painkillers that are frequently abused, he said.
Across the country, states and police agencies are wrestling with how to determine who is too drugged to be driving, Troy police Sgt. Andy Breidenich said.
"If you look at our crime stats, compared to five years ago, we have a whole lot more (arrests for) drugged driving — it's a change of culture going on," Breidenich said this week.
Troy police, with a special unit assigned to catch impaired drivers, patrol not only the main roads in the city but also I-75, he said. Their round-the-clock efforts result in arrests of motorists from all over the country who are driving while impaired, Troy police reports show. While officers can use a portable breath tester to establish a basis for arrest of a suspected drunken driver, they have no such physiological test for drugged drivers, he said.
So officers put motorists suspected of abusing drugs through field sobriety testing, which includes an officer's visual exam of the suspect as well as the administration of a battery of simple verbal and physical tests, he said.
Michigan's medical-marijuana groups were sharp critics of roadside saliva testing last month when they learned of the provision being considered in Lansing.
"I understand the need to protect the safety of our roads, but there's very little if any connection between these tests and determining who is an impaired driver," said lawyer Komorn, a medical-marijuana user and president of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association.
"There's a tremendous body of research that shows the difficulties with these tests," Komorn said.

30 years ago when now 91 year-old Fran Gecht was diagnosed with breast cancer, treatments were relatively limited. Lumpectomies were newly being considered and mastectomies were the only way to go. Simultaneous restorative surgery was in its early days. Post-op she had to contend with a sexist doctor telling her husband to cure her pain by taking her shopping. Simple wisdom like getting a bra to alleviate the pain caused by implants was hard to come by.
If good cheer and grace are indicators of what makes for a survivor, it's quite easy to see how Fran Gecht made it through that ordeal and illnesses to come her way later on. She has advice for every woman, saying "Go for your exams and mammograms. Listen to what the experts say."
Important words year-round but certainly so at the kick-off of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Mrs. Gecht was speaking in the lobby of the Essex Hotel, which her family has owned since 1960.
Any student of the Chicago skyline knows the contribution this hotel makes to our city's nighttime signature. Have you noticed that the sign is pink?
Yes pink!-- in honor of breast cancer awareness and likely to stay pink beyond this month. Fran Gecht's son, Robert Gecht, who is managing partner of the Essex Hotel says, "The lights are going to stay pink until they find a cure or everyone can be successfully treated in a humane manner. I have two daughters, a wife, a mother and I'm partial to them and all things that affect their health."
Robert Gecht sums up, "Combatting this disease is not a one-day or one-month event, it's all the time."
Essex Inn's partner in this endeavor is the White Way Sign Company, which has maintained the hotel's signature sign for four generations.
In addition to the pink sign, the Essex Inn marked the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month on October 2 by making a donation to their ongoing Breast Cancer charity partner, A Silver Lining Foundation, which provides cost-free mammograms and diagnostic testing to uninsured and underinsured women and men at 10 partner hospitals in the greater Chicagoland area and Rockford.
Throughout October, the Essex Inn will encourage guests to "Sponsor a Light Bulb", enabling them to name light bulbs for their loved ones. An additional dollar is being donated to A Silver Lining Foundation for every reservation made at the Essex Inn during the month of October.
Guests at the Brasseries by LM in the Essex Inn lobby will be able to get the special "Survivor Cocktail", with two dollars from each drink similarly going to this charity.
For more information or to make a donation visit the A Silver Lining Foundation website.

Email Marketing
Email Newsletter Marketing - building your brand
Have you ever heard of a business getting a brand new, lovely, glossy brochure printed, and then packing them away in the bottom of a cupboard and locking the cupboard? No, of course not. It would be ridiculous, a complete waste of money.
And yet, this is exactly what many businesses do with their website. Once created, they just leave it alone and expect the enquiries to come flooding in and yet, they don't.
Ask yourself these two questions:
- Would regular communication with your clients strengthen your relationship?
- Does a stronger relationship usually result in more sales and improved customer loyalty?
Merchant Gourmet is a London based online retailer of gourmet food products from around the world. As well as selling online they also supply to major supermarket chains including Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco, Waitrose and Morrisons.
Merchant Gourmet currently send out an e-newsletter, to a list of subscribers, at the start of each month detailing latest products and special offers, with the chance to enter a competition to win some great products.
They have found that their email newsletter marketing consistently provides a boost in sales immediately after the launch each month, and that it also keeps the brand in the minds of their database of existing customers - encouraging further sales throughout the month.

Fans came to Stanford Stadium on June 29 expecting there would be, as advertised, an elaborate post-game fireworks show.
The couldn't know that, for the second straight year, the San Jose Earthquakes would give them an unscheduled pyrotechnic display on the pitch as well.
Down a goal, playing with 10 men and facing a fourth loss in five matches, the Quakes got goals from Shea Salinas and Alan Gordon in successive second-half injury-time minutes to deliver a stunning 3-2 victory against the LA Galaxy – the club that bounced top-seeded San Jose from the 2012 playoffs.
The shocking comeback came 364 days after the Quakes responded from a two-goal deficit to beat the Galaxy 4-3 in the same venue, which was voted the MLS Game of the Year on MLSsoccer.com in 2012.
In that instance, San Jose went up in the 61st minute and then withstood heavy pressure from the visitors. This time, the Quakes left it as late as possible, heightening the drama for a sellout crowd of 50,028 but likely adding some gray hairs to the head of then-interim San Jose coach Mark Watson, who was leading the club in a home match for the first time.
- BEST OF 2013: Check out the complete list of awards
Last-minute escapes were a trademark of the 2012 Supporters' Shield-winning Quakes squad, and on this night, San Jose looked every bit the equal of that edition – even after losing defender Victor Bernardez in the 77th minute to a pair of yellow cards just eight minutes apart.
The Quakes' received a good measure of help on their equalizer. A long throw from Justin Morrow on the left wing deflected off a couple of Galaxy defenders, and goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini was only able to block the ball on his doorstep. That afforded Salinas a chance to zip in and tuck home the free rebound with his left foot.
The game-winner, however, was pure counter-attacking class. After Marcelo Sarvas' shot was blocked by San Jose's defense, Salinas set Marvin Chavez free with a long pass down the left sideline. Chavez's stepover-and-deke combination broke the ankles of LA defender A.J. DeLaGarza, at which point the grinning Honduran international skied a pass over the Galaxy box to the indefatigable Salinas, who had made a lung-bursting diagonal run to provide a target on the right side.
Salinas pulled his pass back for Sam Cronin at 15 yards. Rather than blasting a hopeful shot, Cronin chipped a cultured pass to the back post, where an unmarked Gordon calmly nodded it home to beat his former employer of some six seasons.
Pandemonium reigned at Stanford, leaving Watson to marvel at the finish: "I don't think those things are supposed to happen, really."
2. Red Bulls rally past RSL, July 27 – Already honored on this site as the Game of the Year in MLS, Dax McCarty put the cherry on top of this one in stoppage time in a game that saw four goals scored after the 80th minute.
3. Rapids stun Impact late, June 29 – Rarely does a game-winning goal come as late as it did in this one for Colorado. Tony Cascio scored the winner at Stade Saputo in the 96th minute as the Rapids rallied from a goal down twice to win.

If Lance Briggs' war of words with management was going to have any damaging impact with his teammates, those teammates weren't showing it on Sunday.
Before agreeing Wednesday to a one-year $7.206 million contract as the Chicago Bears franchise player, Briggs had been his usual outspoken self. Missing mandatory team workouts at Lake Forest was one thing and not surprising. Saying he wanted to be traded, or might not play the first 10 games, could have had some comrades concerned if not irritated.
But not linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer. Or secondary members Chris Harris or Nathan Vasher. Nor place-kicker Robbie Gould.
"Any time you can get a Pro Bowl player, it's great to get him back," Harris said. "He's a fun guy to be around. He's a jokester. He keeps it light and real live.
"It's good to have him on and off the field."
Vasher said "it's a big lift for us. He's more or less a leader by example. He carries his weight like a true professional. He takes care of his business on and off the field and gives it 100 percent overtime he goes out there.
"We can always continue to get better with people like that on our team. It doesn't matter to me (that Briggs missed the first two days of practice). He's here now."
Gould said Briggs' presence "provides us with more energy. He's happy to be here, and everyone's excited about it."
Hillenmeyer said it was just the way things are in the world of sports.
"I think that both sides know that business is business," he said. "It just happens that because it's a fan-driven sport, there are so many people out there who want to know what's going on. Their business becomes everyone's business.
"A lot of times tempers flare and people get upset, and everything works out in the end. I think both sides were mature enough about it that they still were able to work something out."
Hillenmeyer says it's "a tough thing" when a player wants one thing and the team another.
"If there's a disagreement there, they initially couldn't come to terms with what they wanted to get done, so things were said."
Teammates had to speak for Briggs because he declined to talk to media at lunch and after practice. Arriving on a black Trek bike to the cafeteria at Olivet Nazarene University, he said, "Love you all. Miss you all." On his way out, he said, "Happy to be here."
After an afternoon practice, Briggs jogged straight to sign autographs for fans. Flocked by media, Briggs was heard to say "It's business" and "I've said enough."
Fans were heard saying, "Glad to have you back, Lance." That was something echoed by head coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jerry Angelo.
"It's good to get one of the final pieces to the defense out on the field," said Smith, who had Briggs work mostly with the second unit. "I thought he came in pretty good shape."
Angelo said he visited with Briggs on Saturday night after Briggs arrived.
"As much of a man of principle he is, he said, 'Jerry, I just couldn't see not being here with the team at the start of camp,'" Angelo said. "He told me how much he was looking forward to being part of the team and taking that next step."

Pain Education is a Public Health Imperative: Reflections on Pain Awareness Month and the Institute of Medicine Pain Report
September 1, 2011
by Daniel B. Carr, MD, FABPM, FFPMANZCA (Hon.), Co-Founder and Director of the Pain Research, Education and Policy Program (PREP) at the Tufts University School of Medicine
Each year, September is "Pain Awareness Month" – a time of intense activity for PREP faculty and the entire pain community It is also when PREP's academic year begins. One key insight connects diverse Pain Awareness activities and PREP's own vision and mission: PAIN IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE, AND PAIN EDUCATION IS A PUBLIC HEALTH IMPERATIVE. Now is a perfect time to step back and place some context around this idea at the heart of not only PREP's curriculum, but also our entire approach to interprofessional education.
The report issued by the Institute of Medicine earlier this summer – "Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education and Research" (ref 1) — is the latest in a series of white papers on pain by governmental and professional groups dating back well over two decades. These include the first US federal clinical practice guideline (ref 2) on any topic, numerous international guidelines (ref 3), and white papers from authoritative sources such as the Mayday Fund (ref 4), the American Academy of Pain Medicine (ref 5), and even the World Health Organization (ref 6). Together, they present steadily accumulating evidence that acute, chronic and cancer-related pain are widely prevalent and exact a major economic and human burden in developed nations and even more so in resource-poor countries. Other common themes include lost opportunities for early intervention to control or prevent the transition from acute to chronic pain, the negative outcomes of undertreated pain, the importance of optimal pain control for patient-centered care, disparities in pain assessment and treatment experienced by minorities and other under-represented groups such as women or those at the extremes of age, and the need "to adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy" (ref 1) for pain. Related to all these is the growing perspective that pain control is a fundamental human right (ref 7) as articulated by Human Rights Watch (ref 8 ) and recently affirmed in the 2010 Declaration of Montreal by delegates to the International Pain Summit (ref 9).
Since its inception in 1999, the Tufts program on pain research, education and policy has been housed in its Department of Public Health and Community Medicine. Although the pain community has long held a consensus that pain is a biopsychosocial phenomenon, most prestigious journal articles and a majority of research funding have emphasized the "bio" end of that word. Thus, the classical Loeser model of pain originates in subcellular nociceptive machinery, then broadens to encompass the experiences of pain and suffering, followed by pain behavior. The Loeser model is an intrinsically individual one.
Our program's framing of pain employs a sociobiological perspective, in keeping with our having been co-founded by a PhD sociologist, Kathy Lasch. Those individuals better able to detect and remember threats to their survival have better odds of propagating their DNA within the collective gene pool. Indeed, within Darwin's (and more recently, Dawkins's) "selfish gene" framework, individuals are mere vessels through which genes propagate themselves (ref 10). Whether or not we agree with this view, it sets the stage for interesting discussion by shifting our reference frame to a distinctly supraindividual model of pain. According to PREP's social model, the experience of pain is still at the core, but to understand it requires research that goes beyond the individual. In human society, research is lost if not translated into education – particularly one that embraces the intersubjective, social and emotional nature of the pain experience. We at PREP are committed to interprofessional education of pain leaders as the most effective way to effect social change – a commitment that led to our program's specific acknowledgment in the IOM report in its chapter 4, on education. Among recent PREP graduates and applicants we are beginning to see a few exceptional persons who have chosen to spend their careers as policymakers in the important field of pain. I am delighted to see this, because the continuous translation of the benefits of research and education requires ongoing support through enlightened, population-based health policies.

text: The Archives of Internal Medicine recently published an article on what is thought to be the first analysis of its kind— researchers assessed HIV mortality rates among different racial and ethnic groups, including their level of education and gender. The authors analyzed records of more than 91,000 HIV-related deaths among adults between the years of 1993 and 1997. The study concluded that even though the extensive usage of multidrug treatments has greatly reduced HIV-related deaths, mortality rates remain disproportionately high for African Americans, particularly those with limited education, and HIV death rates were significantly elevated among blacks, compared to whites, within every category.Findings covered the following: For males with the highest education levels, mortality rates per 100,000 population decreased from 118 to 15 for blacks and from 26 to 2 for whites. The mortality rate for black women with low education remained steady at 27 per 100,000. The authors of the study suggested that black men and low-income black and Latino women faced greater risks due to lack of knowledge about their own testing status, HIV prevention, social stigma, and marginalization, and a lack of accessibility to healthcare. The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV has caused HIV mortality rates to drop significantly for all groups since 1996, except black women with 12 or fewer years of education."These findings suggest the need for focused interventions and resources to facilitate the identification of high-risk individuals, as well as entry and retention into care for these most vulnerable groups affected by the HIV epidemic in the United States," the authors wrote.[Editor's Note: The Influence of Sex, Race/Ethnicity, and Educational Attainment on Human Immunodeficiency Virus Death Rates Among Adults, 1993-2007, Edgar P.

I just like, need Phonte to write me a intro
That's what I need from him
Ghostwriting intros out this this motherfucker
Alright look, uh
Got a 9th Wonder beat, a dutchie, and the diet Coke
You better bring some fresh lungs if you tryin' to smoke
Tatted up sleeves, I'm a mac with that cheese
And these women show their titties when I'm rappin' on these beats
Please, don't fuck around cause I'm a rapper with a mill made
And who you kiddin', ride that flow that cain fill graves
Spendin' days in the shade to eat the rarest salmon
Chicks give me brains, but they dumber than a Sarah Palin
Sick of Republican bitches who think they know it all
If it could double they digits, they'd probably blow us all
I got the coldest flow with loader hoes who blow they nose
Into a holy rosary, got angels flying over me
My poetry with sound make you hit 'em, Jim Thome chief
Like Keef do, don't hate like all these people do
They playin' peek-a-boo with monsters for a week or two
Guarantee to hear about a murder when you read the news
Yea, check me out
I'mma let the beat breathe for a second
Thanks 9th Wonder, man
I ain't never rapped on none of your shit before, but
I'm about to do it right now
When I speak, sit up in your seat
A sheik head wrap, make you think when I see
You feel what I say? (?) me how I play?
And I damn near spent a K on new paint
Pay me in gold, see all, be great
Men, raise your kids and we'll all be straight
Ace, infinite A's, Teslas, Benz
Damn, Chuck, you back on foreigns again?
A couple wins, I shop for the affordable deal
Cut the check my nigga, so I know that it's real
The most poppin', the livest out rhymin'
Nine hundred turbos out the lot, you could time me
Real quick nigga, hit the Tommy with the iron
Speed boat down the street, keep a eye out for the sirens
They say you can't take it with you, but I need it
Drawn tattoos in my tissue, gettin' weeded off the indica
My girl pussy tight like she dipped it in the vinegar
It's one of the reasons that I started gettin' into her
Ridin' around in that (?), kitted up, partner
You got a couple cars, but my shit just go harder
Be happy, be healthy
I'm smackin' these (?) with the zans for the low
And that old Benz truck roll good in the snow
You already know I rock the bulkiest, huskiest, chunkiest gold
And I'm in the stocks, I keep my eye on the market
You pretend a lot, it make you look like a target
Nigga bend the block, snake niggas venomous plot
Google maps on your iPhone to give it the spot
And location
All these apps so they could track yo ass
And tap yo line and snatch yo cash
I got the jellyfish tank with the Swarovski glass
Crystal clear, yeah they wear pistols here
For crystal dreams, cat schemes get you creamed
Whether it's pills or the lean, don't matter what you fiend
Black hoody, summer night, full as a Hummer tank

- GP2, Hungarian Grand Prix, Race 2
Gutierrez eases to victory in Hungary sprint race
- Race:
- Hungarian GP2 round
- Drivers:
- Nathanael Berthon
- |
- Esteban Gutiérrez
- |
- Luiz Razia
Esteban Gutierrez took a lights-to-flag victory in the GP2 sprint race at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday morning to take his third win of the season.
His lead never really looked under threat as Nathanael Berthon shadowed him home to second but struggled to close the gap to under a second. Championship leader Luiz Razia finished third but was a further 12 seconds down the road from the leaders after being held up behind Giedo van der Garde for the first 19 laps of the race.
Van der Garde was on the super-soft tyres whereas the long train of cars behind him were on mediums. The Caterham driver had the pace in the early part of the race to hold them off but his tyres gave up two thirds of the way through the race and he dropped to 10th by the finish.
Championship contender Davide Valsecchi had to pull a brave move around the outside of turn two to get past the Caterham for fourth and once he did the floodgates were open for the cars behind to find a way past. Joylon Palmer was one of them and he held on to fifth despite coming under pressure from James Calado on the final lap.
Calado finished the race strongly, passing Stefano Coletti on the penultimate lap as the Coloni driver, who had pushed hard earlier in the race while running fifth, dropped to ninth by the end. He was passed by both Rio Haryanto and Felipe Nasr on the final lap as the pair took advantage of Coletti's tortured rubber to finish seventh and eighth respectively.
The race ended on a bit of a sour note as Simon Trummer was pushed into the wall by Sergio Canamasas as they crossed the line. The incident will almost certainly be looked at by the stewards and a penalty at the next race is likely. Johnny Cecotto also caught the attention of the stewards as he ended his race trying an ambitious move on Fabio Onidi at turn five. Onidi was also involved in an incident at the start of the race that put Marcus Ericsson out of the race with broken suspension.

Having finished work on "The Tourist," her upcoming film in which she stars opposite Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie is now gearing up to make her directorial debut with a film set in the former Yugoslavia.
The movie will tell the story of "a couple who meet on the eve of the war and the effect it has on their relationship."
"The film is a love story, not a political statement," Jolie said in a statement released via the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for which she is a goodwill ambassador. "I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can," Jolie said.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
GK films confirmed Tuesday that Jolie wrote the film's screeenplay and will direct it. Jolie is also producing the film with "Tourist" collaborators Graham King and Tim Headington, the British company wrote on its blog.
Jolie and her manfriend Brad Pitt visited Bosnia in April and she was there again over the weekend to discuss helping refugees still waiting to return home. She is scheduled to go back in September to begin filming, according to Filmofilia.
Jolie's last film, "Salt," was an overlooked spy thriller, a genre she'll revisit opposite Depp in "The Tourist," from director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck ("The Lives of Others"). It comes out Dec. 10.

If you want to extend your network to a single direction, the WLE-MYG is a directional antenna that's cited to increase wireless range up to two times. We used it with several 802.11g routers and found the range improved drastically - in the intended direction - over distance. It would be ideal for extending your network to the garden.
For boosting signal in a more general area, you need a omni-directional antenna. The Buffalo WLE-HG-NDR is a high gain 6.5dBi antenna, which you can place on a desk or mount onto the wall. Like the WLE-MYG, it costs around £40.
Both of these antenna can be used with 802.11b and g networks. Unsurprisingly, Buffalo's antennae are designed for use with its kit, but the packs include a MC to RP-TNC connector that enables you to use them with a variety of devices. Dan Grabham

The robots are coming: Swisslog shows the US ecommerce crowd its automated fulfillment tech
Before the US had Gilt, Shoedazzle, and Fab, Europe pioneered the addictive discount and curation models with Vente Privée and Net-a-Porter. But it's not only the brick-and-mortar busting business models where the US ecommerce sector has drawn inspiration. More recently, robotic fulfillment technology born out of Europe's land crunch has made its way stateside and is dramatically impacting the way warehouses and supply chains operate.
That's right. We're talking about freakin robots.
Swisslog, one of the largest companies in the space, has introduced a new Click&Pick technology to the US market aimed at the unique way ecommerce businesses operate. In the case of traditional retail, fulfillment centers have always receive palettes loaded with cases of a single item, and then distribute those cases to the store network. Swisslog has made simple robots to handle these tasks for decades.
In ecommerce, however, the process is far more granular and resource intensive, requiring that warehouses carry a larger number of SKUs and that outgoing packages include multiple individual items to meet specific orders, which are then sent to consumers. Further, two-day delivery has become standard, next-day deliver is just an upgrade away, and rumors put same-day delivery by the biggest players just around the corner.
Historically, this has been accomplished through employees walking throughout the warehouse with a "pick list" and manually assembling the order. This may seem intuitive. Humans are perfectly capable of deciphering which brand of toothpaste you ordered and seeing that it finds its way into your box for shipping. But the process is painfully inefficient, requiring lots of walking, bending, and searching – often in a multi-hundred thousand square foot warehouse facility. As a result, efficiency limited by the fitness, motivation, and fatigue of each individual worker at any given time. And logistics is an efficiency game. The solution also doesn't scale to meet tens or hundreds of thousands of orders per day.
Swisslog's latest technology, Click&Pick, automates this otherwise inefficient process with the use of high-speed robots and sophisticated control software to execute these pick lists. The system combines Swisslog's existing AutoStore inventory storage technology and high-speed pick stations with its fulfillment software suite.
The product was first implemented in Scandinavia in 2005 and is currently used in 25 facilities across Europe. The first US system will go live early this summer at a Medline medical supply facility outside of Chicago, which carries more than 125,000 product SKUs.
Click&Pick can achieve a staggering 1,000 picks per hour per operator, nearly five times faster than the fastest warehouse employee can achieve manually. Robots can operate 22 hours per day before requiring a recharge – a process they manage themselves, like any well-mannered robot should. The system saves time both in its handling of orders as well as in processing and restocking returns. In the ecommerce sector, return rates can climb as high as 40 percent, presenting a major drain on a business. Click&Pick can alleviate much of this burden.
In addition to its speed benefits, Swisslog adds dramatic space savings by removing all aisles from the warehouse setup. With the robots operating above and amid the inventory along a 3D grid, the system allows companies to store up to two-and-a-half times as much inventory in the same space. This space savings makes smaller, urban warehouses feasible in many cases and will likely play a major role in the creation of nationwide same-day delivery infrastructure for many of the industry's biggest players.
It's not uncommon to hear complaints that robotic systems like these eliminate jobs. But a quick glance at the company's product video shows bots whooshing across a warehouse floor, picking bins containing desired items and returning them to human operated command centers. Rest assured, Click&Pick still requires many human operators and technicians to oversee the machines and complete final packaging.
The system means that slightly less manpower is needed and that those who do accept these jobs hate them less. Because let's be honest, as numerous exposes and feats of investigative journalism have revealed, those traditional warehouse jobs are miserable, thankless existences. The automated systems allow workers to be more efficiently and remain safer than within the legacy warehouse environment. And because the system is largely autonomous, interfacing with computerizer order and inventory management systems, those who do operate it need only five minutes of training before they are fully qualified and capable of filling the role.
Click&Pick is a fully modular system that is customized to the specific needs of each client, and can be upgraded or modified easily at any time post instillation. The system can integrate with existing inventory and order management software, or companies can choose to implement Swisslog's proprietary system. A typical deployment into an existing facility takes five to six months, and clients should expect to invest a minimum of $1 million. Accordingly, this system doesn't make sense for everyone.
"You really need to be doing 5,000 order lines per day to justify robotics," Director of Business Development Bill Leber says. "But once you get to that level, if you're not talking to us, you're hampering your growth. The golden rule that everyone looks for is that the investment pay for itself within two to three years, which is relatively easy for us to achieve within a growing business."
Swisslog is on the process of setting up leasing partnerships to make it systems available to smaller etailers that can't afford the upfront cost, with a typical lease term being five to six years. Due to the modular nature of the systems, they can be easily disassembled and relocated to a new facility, whether it be due to the growth or closure of a current lessee.
As recently as last year, Swisslog wasn't the only player in this category, but its largest competitor, Massachusetts-based Kiva Systems, was acquired by Amazon for $775 million and its technology no longer available to outside competitors. As a result, Swisslog has seen a spike in demand for solutions like Click&Pick. Kiva, for what it's worth, used a different technology relying on ground-based robots to scurry throughout a warehouse, retrieving portable shelves and bringing them to human pickers to choose the desired product. Regardless, this is Amazon's baby now, and it's not sharing.
Swisslog has partnered with a number of supply chain and operations consulting firms which are often hired by physical and online retailers to design their fulfillment systems. Through these relationships, combined with traditional sales efforts based out of its Newport News, Virginia US headquarters, the company is in talks with a number of the largest – non-Amazon – ecommerce players in the country. In fact, according to Leber, a deal was in the works with Amazon subsidiary Zappos before it decided to hand over its warehousing operations to its parent company last summer.
Given the bleak predictions for brick-and-mortar retail its likely that direct to consumer fulfillment will continue to grow in the coming years. As the demands on this nationwide infrastructure spike, it will be advanced robotics technology that must carry the load. Swisslog's Click&Pick is currently the best of breed.

This past week has been unbelievably crazy in the office in preparation of opening night! Right now they're loading in the set and the entire building is buzzing with busy people but it's so much fun!
I've been running around the past few days, getting my hands in so many different aspects of the theater! I got to hang up posters in the lobby to make it all performance-ready, as seen in the photo! Also, I've been working on an excel spreadsheet the past few days and let me tell you, I'm so grateful for my MIS class now. Before that class I barely knew how to do ANYTHING in excel, so I can just imagine how scary this assignment would have been if I hadn't gained the experience in class.
Also, yesterday, the Artistic Associate and casting director at Triad Stage let me sit in on general auditions for the upcoming season. As a theater minor, this was SUCH a wonderful experience for me. It was the first time I have ever been on the other side of the table during auditions. It was truly eye-opening and it made me see how well the theatre department at HPU teaches us how to audition properly. It also gave me insight on how to approach upcoming auditions in the fall! Well, I should probably finish this spreadsheet – Until next time!

Likes the self-responsibility as an athlete to get with hard work closer to his goal.
When Toni had the chance to turn his hobby into his profession, he jumped. As a result followed his most successful season to date including a spot on the podium in the Worldcup. The ambitious athlete continues to set his goals high but remains humble. His parents remain as his first role models in his sport. After missing most of last season due to an injury the motiviation is high to return to the top ten or higher in the field.

It had a straight six and a stick shift. I thought it was the coolest thing on the road. I drove it until it had almost 200 k on it and finally only got rid of it when I wrecked it. Since then I've had everything from a Jeep to an A4. I never got over my bimmer though. I recall researching for weeks what the funny blue badge was next to the license plate when I got it. When I found out it was a bmwcca medallion I immediately joined and found the community to be amazing. At age 30 now, I've found myself selling that A4 and in the position to buy another car. So, I got myself an 08 m3,4dr, 6speed. First thing I did was come back here and order my membership. All I can say is it's good to be back home boys.

Wait, I'm working on something.
Basically I installed python2.7 in windows, then launched VS. It was working. Then I looked throughh the installation directory of python, and it had automatically compiled some modules. I took those modules and saved them, then uninstalled python. I nuked my VS again, and am currently re-downloading a clean copy from SVN to make sure no remnants exist. This will take some time. I then plan to add back all the modules (from: missing_libs, additional_libs, my modules taken from ubuntu and the new ones compiled) and add them to VS. If that works I will make a big package with everything that needs to be added so you can run VS freshly checked out on a system that doesn't have python installed.
