From Vinyl to Digital
Dory Previn inspired me to pursue this project. She recorded a string of intelligent, literate albums in the 1970s, but by the early 1990s they still were not available on CD. With a little searching, I found a package named gramofile by Anne Bezemer and Ton Le designed to capture the sound of vinyl and prepare it for burning to CD. Then, along came xmcd2make by C. R. Johnson, which extends gramofile's functionality. Look at the possibilities:
Preserve the music on inexpensive, durable media.
Have each track individually accessible with timing details.
Encode to Ogg or MP3.
Apply click reduction filters to all or selected tracks.
Leave out unwanted songs and rearrange the order.
Fit two albums onto one disk.
Sound quality depends on many factors, as explained in the "Linux Audio Quality HOWTO", but with a quality sound card and well-supported drivers. Try to keep the card away from other cards to minimize induced noise. Because I'm using a spare PC solely for this project, I have only two cards installed: video in the first PCI slot and a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 in the last PCI slot. If you plan to use the PC for other tasks while capturing the LP to disk, use a kernel from the 2.4 series, apply the preempt-kernel and lock-break patches (see Resources), select the new choices under Processor type, then build and install it. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound on the CD from the first LP I processed.
If you simply want to burn a CD, gramofile alone does the job. Install it from an RPM or deb file. Figure 1 shows the main menu. I discuss each step further later in this article. gramofile expects a mixer called xmixer, which I found in a Debian package called mctools-lite, but in the RPM world, it is in a package called multimedia. However, there's no problem using whatever mixer you have in another window or console.
For the encoding of songs in Ogg or MP3 format, consider taking the extra steps to install xmcd2make and its dependencies also. A bit of tedium up front will simplify the processing of every album. The xmcd2make scripts are simply that—Perl scripts whose installation amounts to make install. However, they won't work until swig, oggenc (for Ogg encoding) or lame (for MP3), mpgtx and Perl module Getopt::Long are installed. In addition, xmcd2make expects the special version of gramofile that has perl-swig extensions, with a P in the version name. So let's get to work. Because this machine is dedicated to one task, I'll do all installs as root and untar each package from /usr/local.
swig has progressed, but gramofile hasn't. Using the latest version 1.3.17, the gramofile make perl-swig failed. Using Debian's older version 1.1.p883-4 (apt-get install swig), the make completed. Here's the manual equivalent:
tar xvzf swig1.1-883.tar.gz cd SWIG1.1-883 ./configure make make install
oggenc should be available as RPM or deb packages, though the name may be elusive. For Debian, I used apt-get install vorbis-tools libvorbis0. Lame may be harder to find due to patent issues, and Ogg is the politically correct choice.
mpgtx, a command-line MPEG toolbox, is a simple apt-get install mpgtx in Debian, but I installed version 1.3 from source with the classic tar, configure, make, make install as in swig above. Though pages of warnings scrolled by, it installed without complaint.
The Perl module Getopt::Long is part of Debian's 5.6.1 package, and I hope it's in yours too. On my system it's installed in /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm.
A manual install of gramofile with perl-swig extensions is not for the timid. It requires ncurses5-dev and doesn't install itself. You'll need to know where your Perl CORE resides, so try:
cd /usr/lib find -name CORE ./perl/5.6.1/CORE
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Holy Trinity High School students returned to school with an urgent need to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Almost 20 percent of Holy Trinity's student live in the hardest hit areas, including Long Beach, Freeport and Oceanside, and more than 30 of them suffered significant loss of their homes.
It is no wonder that their fellow classmates made it abundantly clear that they needed to do something. As a result, the Rev. Joe Fitzgerald, the school's chaplain, contacted the Rev. Brian Barr at St. Mary of the Isle Church in Long Beach to see how they could help.
On Saturday, Nov. 10, 15 students were joined by Father Joe and other staff members of Holy Trinity, delivering much needed essentials collected by the school to the community and to assist in any way possible.
The group was shocked by the reality of what they saw as they drove through the town, which made them even more determined to help make a difference. Upon their arrival at St. Mary of the Isle, the group gathered for a few words from Father Joe, prayed together and then they began to work.
They first tackled cleaning the church which, the students learned, was going to host a wedding later that day. The couple getting married did not care about the condition of the church; it was only important for them to get married where they grew up.
Holy Trinity Junior Bryan O'Neill of New Hyde Park was touched by their story and felt personally responsible for making sure the church was suitable for their wedding.
After unloading their bus with all the school's donations, the students assisted in the church's collection center, sorting food and clothing. Bryan O'Neill expressed his feelings like this, "It was sad to see all the people who lost a lot and it made me realize why we were there – we needed to be there."
Another junior, Ryan Rossi of Franklin Square said, "When all is lost, hearts are found." He explained the quote by saying that when something like this happens and everything seems hopeless, great people with great hearts come together to rebuild.
Holy Trinity has been helping the relief efforts in other ways. The school is working with Catholic Charities of America by providing space to them to warehouse items that the organization has been collecting and relief workers have been staying at the school's convent.
The Holy Trinity High School students and staff will continue to collect much needed items such as cleaning supplies, buckets, mops, Clorox, ammonia, detergent for clothing, toiletries and baby clothes. Members of the school community will then return to those areas in need every Saturday for the foreseeable future.
Holy Trinity High School is a private, co-educational Catholic high school founded in 1966 drawing students from Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties. It has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education Exemplary Schools Program and is nationally known for its outstanding Academics, Athletics and Performing Arts programs.

2004 GMC Sierra Instrument cluster repair...made a mistake, need help!
I took out my instrument cluster and took it apart to replace the stepper motors. I dialed back the needles until they stopped and removed them.
I forgot to mark an index point where the needles stop after turning them back counter clockwise before i pulled them all off.
Is there a way to put the needles back on or re calibrate them back to zero without messing everything up?
I have not removed the old stepper motors, they are just missing the needles and turned counter clockwise untill they stoped. I just stopped everything once i pulled the needles off.

The Complex
Allisha awoke to find Cameron on his laptop sitting on the couch. He seemed optimistic, "Morning."
Cameron replied, "Morning." he closed the lid to his computer.
"Sleep at all?" she sat up in bed.
"No, thanks to your snoring." Cameron joked.
"Ha, very funny."
"How about a breakfast at Kuhulu?" he asked.
"Oh, that Hawaiian-like restaurant?"
Cameron was caught off guard by Allisha remembering it. "Yes."
"Do you ever think of that beach anymore?" Allisha asked.
"Sometimes, it's hard to after what I've been through."
"I know." Cameron gave her a strange look, "You hungry, I'm hungry."
"Whatever, I'll let you get ready to go." Cameron left his room and went to the briefing room. He wondered who would want to make Delta livable after what had happened.
Cameron entered the room and sat down in the back. A boy came in and sat in front of him. Cameron leaned forward, "Hey, what's your name?"
"Corr Zaphad, yours?"
"Cameron Keli."
"I didn't see you in here yesterday with the other kids," Corr stated.
Cameron laughed, "I'm an I.G.G."
"Oh, so you're used to killing people?"
"I don't think you can ever get used to 'killing' people."
"Oh." Killing, it sounded so dark I thought.
This Corr Zaphad seemed to be just a bit worried, Cameron thought, "Once you're briefed on the Rebel Fist, it makes it much easier to fight them, Corr."
I asked, "Is it scary out there on the field?"
Cameron replied, "The first couple of times, then it gets easier."
"Have you ever frozen under fire?" Cameron hesitated then nodded. Now I knew I wouldn't be the only one stiff during combat, "I haven't told anyone, but I'm just a little afraid."
"Corr, I was too. Hey, they should make you almost invincible in those new super suits." Cameron assured.
"Yeah." a girl walked in and sat down next to me.
"What's your name, I'm Taylor." she told me.
I replied to the brown haired, scrawny, four eyed girl, "Corr." Then there was an odd silence. Cameron chuckled making it easier for me to ask, "Have a lot of friends yet?"
"You." she told me.
Cameron leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "She may not be a flower now, but wait, the late bloomers are the best."
I gave him a weird look, "So Taylor, where did you live before you came here?"
"Genesis." Taylor answered.
"Sweet, what's it like living in a city that never stays in one place?" I asked her.
"I lived in one of the few cities that weren't mobile!" she stated.
"Oh, did they bring you here nicely or by force?"
"They ripped me from my family."
"Ripped you?" Cameron butted in, "It was for your own good."
"Then how did you know which ones to take? Huh!" Taylor turned to face him. Man, Taylor had a temper.
"We took the ones that were better in every which way. You, however, were not better with manners. I'd think you would have known better than to talk to a commander like that!"
"I'd think you would know better than to take us without considering our feelings," she went on.
"We are in a war that we are losing, people's lives are at stake here. We thought, excuse me, we know that sacrificing a few out weighs the slaughtering of innocent people." Cameron came back.
"Is that it then, are we the disposable heroes?" she said.
Keth walked in, "She'll make a good one with that temper."
"General Keth, sir." Cameron snapped to a salute, and I did the same.
"At ease, commander." He looked at me, "Corr, I was hoping you'd be here."
Did he just say me? I choked when I answered, "Ye-yes, sir."
"I wanted to tell you why I forced you in here yesterday."
"Sir, I know why, you needed the best of the best to serve you and I intend to give you just that," I told him.
"Good," he said sternly, "if only the others would be so willing as you." the doors opened up and the soon to be soldiers walk in. Keth walked to the front, "Attention!" he was given blank stares. He sighed, "When I say attnetion, that means attention!" He stood up straight, arms down by his sides, and chin elevated.
They hardly seemed enthusiastic about it as they slowly moved to attention.
"No respect, we'll drive it into you! What time is it?!" asked Cameron.
Someone said, "Ah, 5:33 a.m."
"What if it was 5:33 p.m. Give it to me in military hours, now!" Cameron shouted.
No one answered, except Josh, "That would be 17:33, right?"
"Correct." Cameron nodded, "What if it was 19:43? Anyone answer but him."
Let's see, I thought, to get 5 to be 17, you add 12. Then it's 7:43 p.m. I answered nervously, "Sir, that should be 7:43 p.m."
"Very good."
Keth took back over, "You will be taught many more things that have to do with the military."
Someone blurted out as if he had been holding it in a long time, "When do we get to kill something?"
"Kill, we do not just kill things, we have to kill to liberate those who the rebels rule over. We must also kill to punish the rebels so they will never rise again!" Keth shouted. The boy didn't say anything, "Now we will regroup with the ones you had last night. The leaders will get you started." Keth coughed after wards, "You are dismissed."
We started to funnel out in to the hanger bay, "Well, I guess I'll see you later, Cameron." I told him.
"Yep, keep safe out there," he called as I left and rejoined my group.
Cameron walked up to Keth, "Looks like you have your a hands full."
"Ain't that for sure," Keth replied.
"I could give you a hand or two," he offered.
"Cameron, the colony needs you more than I do. I know you don't want to go back, but you have to."
"Alright, but these kids will give you the ride of your life."
"I know, I was a kid once, even though that's hard to see."
"Alright bye Keth." Cameron walked back to his room and found Allisha ready.
"Oh, there you are."
"Ready, lets go."
They walked down to the door way and stopped, "Aw, it's raining." Allisha stated.
"Yep, I guess we had better run fast so we won't get wet."
They ran out, and Cameron unlocked the doors, jumped in, and paused to take a breather. "Nothing like a run in the rain," Allisha said.
Cameron chuckled and he backed out of the parking space and turned around. He pulled out to the road and waited for a couple cars to pass. They passed and he did a big spin out and fish tailed into the street, "Oh, I love the rain."
Allisha was holding on to the door for dear life, "Oh my."
They drove around a mountainy coast. Allisha watched the waves roll in and out, "That beach is the one we were on before you left for the Guard, right?"
"Yeah." Cameron confirmed.
"Looks different." she stated.
"It's raining now, ya know."
"I know, it's just not the same since the war."
The windshiled wipers whipped back and forth, wiping away the rain. They later pulled into the Kuhulu parking lot. It was early and Cameron got a close spot. They ran inside and took off their coats.
The waitress came to their table. She was clad in a bikini top with a silk skirt tied high on her hip. Her black hair rested gently against her wonderous face, "Ah," Cameron said, "nothing like you to wake me up in the morning."
"Good morning Cameron." the waitress's words rolled off her lips fluently.
"Yes Marry, it is a good morning now," Cameron put.
"Who's this woman?" Marry questioned.
"I'm Allisha."
"Allmenegger? Cameron said a few things about you."
"Yep, that's me," she said modestly.
"What would you like, Cameron, the usual?" Marry asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"And what would you like, miss Allmeneger?"
"What he's having," Allisha answered.
"Okay, I'll be back." She walked away and Cameron had his eyes glued to Marry.
"Cameron, yoo-hoo." said Allisha, her hand in front of him.
"How did you meet her?"
"I saved her on one of my missions to liberate one of the colonies the rebels took captive."
"So, why do you two keep in touch?"
Cameron eyed her, "Just look at her. On a little side note, Marry's from Hawaii if you care."
Allisha gasped, "She's from earth? I didn't think anymore came."
"Some come." His phone rang, "Excuse me." He stepped away from the table.
Allisha thought that Marry might know about these white creatures on Cameron's video log.
Marry came back with a couple mugs of hot chocolate. "Thanks, Marry," Allisha said.
"You're welcome."
Allisha fought for the right words to ask about these white creatures, "Marry, do you know anything about white scaly creatures?"
Her brown eyes snapped straight up towards Allisha, "Yes I do, why should it matter, though?"
"I just wanted to know what they are called."
"Those cursed things are called Crightents." Marry seemed to let that word, Crightent, settle in, "The Crightents are infected humans or any kind of life form that is unfortunate enough to come in contact with them. All they want is to kill."
Cameron walked back, "Marry, I'm sorry but we have to leave soon. Peter called and he's ready with Blare."
"Oh, that's just too bad. Can you finish your cup of hot coco?"
"Yes, that much we can do." he sat down.
Marry sat down next to him, "Cameron, Allisha and I were just talking about Delta."
"Really what got you talking about that?" he wanted to know.
"The Crightents." Marry blurted out.
"What?!" he exclaimed.
"I know I thought you would have told her if she asked."
"Isn't this good chocolate?" said Allisha in an attempt to change the subject.
"How did you find out about them! Oh no, you wouldn't? You would, you were snooping around in my stuff weren't you." Cameron jumped to conclusion.
" I wasn't snooping!" Allisha came back, "I did not find out about it on purpose."
"Does it look like I give a flip now?!" Cameron's face hardened.
"I was trying to shut off your computer when the log resumed. I'm sorry," Allisha confessed.
Cameron sighed and rubbed his hand through his hair, "Ok, that's enough. Marry we have to go, I'm sorry."
"Don't be." He went and got their coats. "How long will you be gone, Cameron?"
"A good two weeks at the least." he answered.
"Then I better give you something to remember me by." Marry kissed him softly.
"I can't forget you now." They hugged and broke apart.
"Nice meeting you, Allisha," Marry said.
"You too, Marry," she replied.
"Bye Cameron, be safe please," Marry begged.
"I will be, and you keep pretty," he chuckled, Bye."
"Bye." She walked away and Cameron watched her.
"Come on, Cameron," Allisha spoke.
"Yep." They ran back out to his car and got in. "You didn't have to go behind my back and ask Marry, you could have asked me. I would have told you and probably not gotten so mad."
"I'm sorry."
"I kinda figured that."
They pulled out and drove around the mountain. "Cameron?"
"Why do you like her?"
"Who Marry? Well, you met her, don't you think she is sweet?" he shifted and reved the engine.
"Oh yeah, she is, is that it though?" Allisha pressed on.
Cameron blushed, "Well, you know she's very, very," he put extra effort behind the second 'very', "beautiful."

Cameron,You started with a lot of energy and kept the level up, carrying us along with your first person narrative. Corr with his fun-loving youthfulness proves to be a swashybuckling hero one can't help but cheer on. "Crightent" does deliver what the blurb promises with the help of an easy, coversational style and spiffy dialogue. Thanks for the rollicking good read.Kenneth Edward LimThe North Korean
Hi CameronI enjoyed reading through this first chapter and think you have got your young protagonist off to a nice start in his adventure. The young hero called to adventure - given the setting -I was getting some Luke Skywalker vibes and that cant be a bad thing. It's impressive that you wrote this when you were only 13 - good job. I have starred and added to my watchlist and will read more and comment as I go. Well done.DerekThe Angel Chord

hope a meego sailfish device with good specs and design too
Marc Dillon > Stephen Elop
so we can expect jolla phone announment then?
What announcement do you want? They announced that they're making a busted old phone for China that will play Android. What else do you want?
Busted ? Not from what I`ve seen ! How exactly ?
It's just a midrange, not premium
He could be but he is a long way from proving it yet.
my morning bowel movement > Steven Elop
You sir are a gentleman, and a scholar
made my day!
Nokia CEO closes the door on a potential Android smartphone
Android yes, but a sailfish runs Androids apps correct? Lets see, Elop, Marc together?
i hope so, a nokia device running sailfish would hurt android.
Nothing to see here. Ms and Elop will not allow Linux to survive in Nokia.
I'm sure MS is super scared about Linux.
Separate topic: where have you been the last 10 years?
Well obviously MS is scared of linux as 90% of all smartphones now are running linux kernels
I guess you don't count Symbian as a smartphone OS because 90% of all smartphones is not the same as 90% of smartphones currently shipping.
He isn't counting iPhone either, apparently, because it sure as heck isn't running Linux kernel.
iOS is based on Unix from which Linux kernel comes, so iPhone can be counted as member or rather a relative of Linux family. They could be treated as very similar. Of course Apple will not like it, but I see it this way.
Yeah its the BSD Kernel.(its not Linux but most people would not tell the difference). Or what ever version of it they currently use… Apple is not the best open source citizen.
It's not Linux.
Similarity does not make it one.
Someone could think that even Windows is same as Linux or Symbian but that doesn't make then the same.
Hahahahaha … iOS is NOT Linux. Yes iOS is UNIX-based, and Linux is based off of UNIX, but look at the KEY WORD here … they're BASED off it, that means they still differ and vary in a number of ways.
Also Android is an abomination, and I have to say, screw Linus Torvalds for agreeing to merge Android kernel and code with Linux. Android is a freak mutant version of Linux with its virtualization layer and bytecode, it is not real Linux, and Torvalds is supporting this abomination. Google must be paying a lot of money to Torvalds for this.
Reply to "correct" (there was no reply button on his comment)
Linus Torvalds does not own the Linux kernel. He (among some others) "only" develop it. The Linux kerner is under the GPL licens. So Google can do whatever they want with it as long as they provide the source code for every modified version they distribute.
In the last 10 years Microsoft lost the dominance in the e flowing markets. Server, (they are now a relative small player), embedded (they were for some time king), guess what kernel took their place??? Linux..
The Linux kernel is #1 in the following areas… Server…Super-computing…Render-Farms….Mobile smartphone…embedded…and a few others… tablet it will soon be #1 as well.
Microsoft is currently milking its desktop office cash cow for how long will that be sustainable?
I remember wen people used to laugh about the Linux kernel… but as they say "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
Linux is formidable no doubt. As a Finn I'm proud of what Linus and then the whole open source community (and businesses around it) achieved. Personally I don't recall that many people laughing at Linux, ever. Linux on desktop, maybe, but in reality that still is a pipedream. On servers I'm pretty sure most saw its potential very, very early on.
You know, the world isn't actually Microsoft vs. Linux anymore. The evils and the polarities of the world have shifted A LOT. It is so 1990s to be paranoid about and hate on Microsoft. It was warranted at one point, but at some point after the .NET revolution Microsoft changed. It is no longer the evil empire, nor is the world unable to fit multiple operating systems now.
Both Microsoft and Linux will continue to co-exist, as will several other options as well.
One additional thing Im disappointed with Nokia's lack of vision. They had the money and the opportunity and again some half hearted support to MSOffice alternatives. I think they gave some support to Calligra suite. With someone having understanding on software market could have gathered group of companies to fund office competitors. That would have weakened MS, when Nokia was still afraid of MS dominance and turned down WM.
O Janne… believe me, they laugh about it. I was there and I'm talking about entire Microsoft sales departments. the Server side wars were very "interesting"…of course that was from a small deployment contender more than 12 years ago so not the full view of thing's.
Any way Microsoft is still as bit of evil as it was, its still bribing governments and ISO committees, its stilll looking into everything you put into skydrive, still manipulating the OEMS, Still using cover companies to do their dirty works etc etc etc… what do you think they still have the same sleazeball used car sales man as boss..
And im not paranoid about Microsoft there are just as bad as many other companies out there some of them using linux…
Tbh, I'm more afraid of Google than MS. Android should go to hell and be replaced with Ubuntu or something else.
Android is just a linux illusion.
Linus Torvalds is a TRAITOR for allowing Android to merge with the Linux main code path. All Finns should treat him as a traitor, after all the good work he did for Linux, he threw it out the window by allowing the merger with this evil Google abomination.
Linus is not in control of it. See my post above.
well after ferburary 2011 microsoft is evil again.
nokia from no 1 smartphone maker to no 10 in two years, that ist what ex microsoftie elop did to nokia.
Microsoft has just posted some very good quarterly results. Besides, I'll just name other cash cows: Office and XBox 360. The latter's successor being unveiled this year.
And also, who wins? I think it's the consumer who wins because of the alternatives. What can MS win apart from money? And how do the Linux developers benefit from its running on supercomputers, servers or Android, since it's GPL'ed and thus free?
And about those comments that Elop doesn't want Linux to survive instead Nokia. That's a CEO decision, deal with it. It's not his fault that he got hired instead of OPK, who incidentally also didn't want Maemo to thrive instead of Symbian. Personally, I think Nokia would still enjoy a 70% smartphone share if someone started developing 2005′s Maemo 2.2 into a 2007 iPhone competitor, and I'd have loved it.
Personally, I think Nokia would still enjoy a 70% smartphone share if someone started developing 2005′s Maemo 2.2 into a 2007 iPhone competitor, and I'd have loved it.
I agree with this. Successes of MeeGo and Sailfish proves that would be real success.
"And how do the Linux developers benefit from its running on supercomputers, servers or Android, since it's GPL'ed and thus free?"
Your question is a bit confusing, but as far as i can understand your talking about moneytization of OSS right?
developers makes money because people pay them, like nokia paid linux developers, or android does, or any one that wants to use the free stuff and package it for consumer usage, be it a weather research department that needs Huber supercomputing… A device manufacturer that needs to sell a router…they all needs developers to use the free stuff and apply it to their needs.
If you are looking for specific companies that make this work look into RED HAT market cap 10.52 B.
It would also be nice if people understood that there is a lot more to an OS than the kernel. Android and the multitude of GNU/Linux out there don't have much in common.
Most people know that, even the most non clued-up folk usually have a basic understanding of that.
I'm not here to win this conversation, but this sounds really familiar.
First you ignored me.
Then you are laughing at me.
Are you going to fight me?
OOO I will revert again to the first step, Ignore you, dough I do laugh at you most of the times, you are funny
As usual from you that is utter BS. First if you would read the results of this quarter you would know that Windows made more money for them than Office. Also, Windows Server still dominates the overall server market in units and even more so by revenue. It gets 50% of the global server revenue and that is growing.
Linux does dominate the free server OS category lol.
Yes Microsoft charges more surprise. surprise.
Yes web servers is one segment of the server market but I talking about the overall server market to counter your point that MS is only making money off Office where. In the overall server market, Windows Server totally dominates and is widening its lead and just had another big quarter.
Linux is a great OS for a web server and it is the best choice if all you want is a non .NET web server and you have the expertise to maintain it.
so it was not BS? but lets go on and explore other server markets, mail servers? maybe skype servers? heheheh
but yeah Microsoft should be number one in the Microsoft exclusive technology area, at lest most of them :)…
I bet they own almost 100% of the Microsoft SQL Server market.
Technically what you said wasn't BS but what you implied was.
By far the biggest marker for servers is Enterprise servers and that is where almost all the money and R&D is. Web servers are just hand-me-downs Enterprise servers.
I don't what you mean by your SQL statment. Do you think MS SQL server is the only SQL server out there? Becuase Orcacle,IBM and MySQL would have something to say about that. Server and Tools generated almost 20 billion revenue for MS last year so it appears there are people wanting them.
"I don't what you mean by your SQL" You did my point pretty well thank you
Orcacle,IBM seam like pretty big large corporations to me what is the OS they mostly use on their servers again?
agin i did not implied that micosoft is not making money in those areas. They do as does Oracle, IBM, HP, REDHAT the thins is that they have to split the market across many contenders as you you pointed out yourself… The original argument was "I'm sure MS is super scared about Linux." and I think this tread as fluently proved they are and they should be. RIGHT?
Can we agree on that at least?
That Linux indeed poses problems to Microsoft in several segments, and that in several segments it as been eroding what used to be Microsoft monopolies?
Also I think its fairly obvious that in the past 10 years that threat as increased exponentially.
This is the sort of mentality that got Nokia into trouble in the first place ignoring problems and competition and thinking profits would be there for ever.
Yes Oracle and IBM are big players but MS Server and Tools division
generated almost 20 billion in revenue last year so they can obviously compete. I pointed they dominate the overall server market you made the bizzarre reply that they should dominate the MS SQL Server market. Also a good chunk of MS Server OS revenue comes from IBM.
As I said, MS server market is growing. I think they are far more relieved than worred about Linux. It got nowhere in the desktop market and it didn't make much inroads into the enterprise sever market either as many thought it would. MS is not worried about the non .NET web server market–it knows it cannot compete there and likewise for supercomputers.
@Keith too soo its all fine Microsoft should not be concerned at all?
If we could only remember of similar story…..
I know its name its started with an "s" and rimed with "indian"… hummm…
In a way you present the single biggest problem of this deal Microsoft surfers from exactly the same types of problems Nokia did.
(#note I do know Microsoft internally takes Linux very very seriously, so they are not as bad as Nokia was wen Nokia was presented with a similar problem) But the ms fan base is as well as Nokia was a bit clueless and believes they can do no wrong.)
I'm talking about the server market not mobile where of course Android is a big problem and well beyond the threat stage.
Put it this way, I'm sure MS wishes Linux wasn't around but also I know it is not viewed as nearly the threat that it was 10 years ago in both the server and desktop markets. MS has far bigger competitive threasts than Linux. Linux already dominates the server segments that it can. Its 1% percent of desktops is actujally falling.
@Keith too I believe that soon the desktop market itself will start to shrink
Specially on the home use area, people will have no need for 3 computers at house one will do fine. Since the trend is to have more and more specific devices for specific tasks… This is IMO the single biggest threat to Microsoft. Specially as OEM's now seam to want to break away from the Microsoft lock down and be masters of their own destiny.
I believe that this trend will eventually pose a threat to Microsoft enterprise market. This is My opinion, and I believe Microsoft is scared 2 only reason for the pathetic metro thing and worse windows RT confusion…
The thing is 10 years ago, Alot of silly people thought Microsoft was going to die simple because there was Linux. But on the others end there was no product or corporations to back it up with real products back then.
Today Microsoft surfers real competition on all fronts from corporations using Linux to produce truly competitive products, and this is something to be concerned about IMO.
On the specifics of the server market Microsoft is currently sharing the cake with a lot of players, and some parts of that cake have become commodities that stooped making sense to Microsoft, in the future, other parts might 2 and the cake becomes smaller and smaller, we don't know? But the simple fact that the market changes and linux gains more and more share as it commoditises new segments should pose a concern to Microsoft…
BTW I made no point about,"that MS is only making money off Office"
What I said is that Microsoft is milking the desktop/office area, I made no comments about not having other profitable areas.
Actually I would argue Linux sucks complete balls as a server, there is no proper distribution (Debian=openssl fiasco, ancient packages, and so on), no proper filesystem, etc.
Freebsd with ZFS and jails for servers if you're putting your own time and money on the line. Stable and reliable. Not changing every freaking startup script and configuration file and BS every other week.
in face of my link were was the BS???? Maybe Microsoft should follow symbians lead and give up on the server market since it as been declining for so loong…
I have no idea whatever your connection to my comment. Now back to my point
"Nothing to see here. Ms and Elop will not allow Linux to survive in Nokia."
I will be very glad to be proven wrong.
My comment is meant for the MS fanboys.
Only if you believe in conspiracies and Trojan horses. I don't.
I don't think Linux efforts were nixed at Nokia because of Microsoft pressure or Elop's sinister motives. Former couldn't (and can't) do it and I don't think latter had such motives either. Nokia chose what they felt was their best path forward, not because it was an anti-Linux path.
Your mileage of course varies. A reasonable observer can't rule out anything of course, but in reality can't be certain either. But the fact is, Elop alone inside Nokia could not have turned the whole board and the management team behind the current direction just like that.
Nokia directors had their reasons and I sincerely doubt they were anti-Linux reasons, any more than OPK was anti-Linux just because he mistreated Maemo and MeeGo so badly inside Nokia. He just did what he thought was best for Nokia, no matter how ill-advised that seemed to others.
As you know I also don't like to dable into that are becouse it poses much worse questions about what is really going on at Nokia. And my tinfoil hat is very ugly and all.
So I judge things for what they provenly are. aka ELOP is incompetent…
Having said that and strapping the proverbial hat is fairly obvius that the board pick this path even before Elop came. Elop was the executioner.
Some say that this decision was forced into nokia by the American funds,, that wanted nokia strong in the US and wanted it to move it to the US.. a deal was cut that maintained Nokia in Finland, but approved the WP strategy, what is also said, and can be verified, is that those funds had a far greeter interest in Microsoft (much more money there) than the interest they had in nokia… and this may lead into other conclusions…
With all of that said its just speculation and we don't know, so I revert to basics… AKA ELOP is an incompetent that transformed 30% market share into 3% and still drooping..
You are talking about market share? You know, Nokia was losing market share in 2010. Symbian was collapsing long before Elop.
It was not Elop who started the collapse.
Symbian was collapsing long before this.
MeeGo? No, it was not a real replacement. Nokia was selling low end Symbian phones. It was not not possible to replace those with high end phones.
They were selling only very few high end phones.
Symbian was already collapsing because it was not competitive.
Yes lets talk market share… you know another one losing market share on all fronts? Microsoft! maybe they should just give up since according to you you cant turn any sinking ship. because market share is the only metric…
Sure Microsoft is till a huge money making machine, but since market share is the only thing that should be taken into account they they should just implode themselves…
Best metric for comparing companies is market share. Actually we should look at share of the revenues, but I guess we have to use just unit sales.
Unit sales are not that important because of the ASP.
The best tool for measuring, not relative, performance is profits with revenues.
I guess you don't know why we should compare companies?
WOW its amazing the stuff you say heheheh, OMG is its just to have the last word ? because hehehhe most of the time you just simply make no sense.
Care to get back to my original statement that in face of the market share erosion Microsoft surfers in some markets maybe it should give up on them? Even if they are profitable?
I see.
You are bitter.
You like forming weird/rhetorical Qns.
Yes but what they felt was their best way forward was based upon a decidedly skewed assessment of the situation in which outside consulting firms played a significant role .
in an MNB article by Michael faro -TUsino , Meego , at the time of it`s cancellation , had 5 successor phones ready for late 2011 , and early 2012 release , so Elop wasn`t telling the entire truth . He was determined to push WP and he correctly perceived Symbian , and Meego as dangerous rivals , hence the infamous memo and the rumours of the same . No conspriacy here , just a CEO doing what he thought best , inept as it was . U don`t bet the entire farm on an unproven OS , nor do u kill the moneymakers , yet Elop and the board did exactly that …
Oh and Elop also believes firmly that all successful trends originate from North america . WP does , Symbian, Meego ,and Meltemi didn`t, and now they r cancelled . Coincidence ? I think not !
So what will be the items that we will be climbing on each others shoulders to buy? What are the Zune like devices? What are these tablet covers? What's the relationship between Nokia and Jolla.
I seldom use tiles to open apps anymore, I use speech. Its fun to say "open music" and it says back "which one, music and videos or Nokia music"..freaks people out.
You know if you guys were real nerds, you would be more excited about Juniper and Nielson, who have already delivered physical products, vs. Jolla:
a) Juniper put TCP/IP onto hardware. Innovation. Before Cisco. High speeds. You're welcome.
b) Nielson has to put up with stupid retards like Jesse Jackson who claim they are racist because they say which tv channels get more advertising dollars through MATH and STATISTICS. And Al Sharpton and co get mad because they don't like the facts and truth. You're welcome.
Don't f*** this up, Nok.
I'll take Elop over Harlow as keynote speaker any day…
I am still waiting for my opportunity to buy the Jolla phone.
Products, people. Products.
Jolla is promiseware.
I guess they really learned from Nokia. Announcing the OS long time before actually shipping it is something fresh and new after Nokia was announcing products long before shipping them.
Wait? They are actually making the same mistake Nokia was doing.
Personally, I wouldn't be that hard on Jolla. They are a start-up. I do agree they are vaporware of course and goodwill they have received is based on perception and fame (and ironically past Nokia performance), not on actual products they as Jolla have shipped. That said, I freely give them a pass on this. Being a mobile phone start-up is hard and things will take time. I wish Jolla well. I wonder how they'll respond to the Ubuntu threat, though. It must be draining mindshare.
Anyway, my point about "Products, people." was merely a wish to get back to discussing actual mobile products, as opposed to mobile CEOs. I think the focus here has been far too much on the latter and far too little on the former. Just my opinion.
We'll see. At least they have balls to try.
You can go and ask anyone knowledgeable on designing and manufacturing your own mobile handset in about a year after setting up a business with 50 people. If they can start shipping a decent device by Summer, that is magic.
That would be magic. Unfortunately it's hard to believe in magic and that's why I don't take too seriously all those claims about shipping a product before summer. Or by summer.
It's nice to see someone trying but it's also incredible to see how people are living the hype and considering Jolla as a true savior for Nokia if Nokia decided to buy Jolla.
You are making your own generalizations as always. There are people, who think that Jolla could be Nokia's savior, also people who would not even want that to happen and a lot of people in between.
If Chinese startups can create cool Androids with own skin, why couldnt a Finnish startup do the same. I believe that Jolla's success would benefit Nokia: the subcontractor and whole cluster would stay stronger in Finland, there would be tiny what-if left towards MS that Nokia would have alternative routes to implement swift change, Digia would benefit etc.
That would also be excellent example to the whole Finnish mindset that entrepreneurship is a valid option, not only big corporations rule.
That would also be excellent example to the whole Finnish mindset that entrepreneurship is a valid option, not only big corporations rule.
Bingo. There is reason number one why I support Jolla's efforts.
BTW, I support Nokia's efforts for similar reasons (patriotic) but Jolla and Rovio and companies like that are special in a different kind of way.
I said people, not all the people.
That's the difference.
Some Chinese company can make some nice Android products, but I think Jolla is not trying to create another Android phone. While they may end up with a souped up Android because of the Dalvik compatibility, they are not supposed to focus on Android.
I still think people are considering Jolla as a savior. The next incarnation of the holy MeeGo/Maemo/whaterver.
I guess it's nice to have some faith?
I would need some help from a native English speaker on the uae of people vs some people.
I probably wasnt clear what I was saying, or? No, they are not creating another Android. If you read carefully, I was using Chinese manufacturers as a prozy for being able to create competitive hw packages and UIs. Mer is there, a lot of the middleware is there. They probably need to work on hw adaptation with some Linux side help. hence Jolla does not need to recreate everything from scratch aa Nokia always wanted to do, when there were open source alternatives.
The biggest difference to Nokia is that they have a clear goal at Jolla.
Probably nothing to get our hopes up about but a nokia 920 form factor phone running harmattan on top of sailfish, with mapping, nokia suite of apps and a good camera that could also play nice with android apps would be something to really get excited about! Fingers crossed!
I doubt they are ready to pay Nokia to license for mapping data. Google or open street map are more probable alternatives. I guess the quality of the latter is poor and does not support turn-by-turn.
Camera is probably typical Android level.
Wouldn't it be the other way around, i.e. Nokia paying to Sailfish or at least giving the maps for free?
With their market position in maps and the fact they need real users with real-time positioning data to feed their DB, I don't think Nokia has the bargaining power here. For example Google is paying Mozilla for being the default search engine in Firefox, so is really Mozilla paying Nokia for maps in FirefoxOS, especially if they probably could get Google Maps for free?
Surely they've got to show some hardware of their own at MWC rather than using N950s.
They've yet to show all the UI – eg. how notifications work or what happens when you've more than 9 apps multitasking and also the inbuilt apps like Mail, browser and mapping.
But, it's a keynote speech so I suspect there may not be the time to go into details and full product demos.
Im really amazed that they got Marc to give prsentation in the event. It cant be that anyone willing to pay will get an opportunity. From a different angle: there's got to be something that Jolla themselves feel interesting, if they are ready to pay for the keynote.
I predict that Marc Dillon's speech will be a hundred times more interesting than Stephen Elop's inevitable scripted boardroom blether we've come to see every time he gets up and opens his mouth. OPK may have made mistakes, but when he spoke, you felt like he was talking to *you*, the customer, the user, the fanboy. When Elop speaks it's like he's doing his best Conservative MP impersonation, being really careful with what he says, and it comes across as disconnected and aloof. But Marc Dillon certainly seems to be more grounded and perhaps 'one of us' so I'm sure it will be an interesting one. Dillon=exciting, new fresh ideas, Elop=come on, you know what he's going to say, he says it all the time! Zzzzzzz
Whatever to say seems those 2 have something to say and they want do something important for them and in interaction with customers. I think this is one of megatrends, and it is quite difficult to fight against megatrends. Well, once Apple has abandoned www-like technology in pre-internet era – well good for us, worse for Aplle. I don't want even to think how internet would be today if they would patented it…! Nokia has abandoned Linux – well good for us because of Jolla, but worse for Nokia? Time and figures will tell.
I have so much faith in these guy that they will fix Europe since nokia is dead and the americans and holding it hostage
Faith is not a good thing to have in this instance, the odds are hugely against them, nevertheless I really do hope they're a massive success.
I don't care about the silly regional/tribalistic things that some people bang on about (i.e. EU Vs NA), their success is a good thing for "numerous" non-political reasons.
plz make sure skype is fully functional (video calls works on 3g)
Errr what…

Master Distiller Trey Zoeller of Jefferson's Reserve will be at Twin Liqours at Hancock Center in Austin on Wednesday June 8th.
Here is the info. I plan on attending.
2012 Straight Bourbon Fantasy Football Champion
Apparently the title of 'master distiller' has a pretty loose definition these days.
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment.
I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?
While I think a master distiller really aught to, you know, have something to do with distillation, barrel selection is also a big part of the master distiller's job. I had some of the regular Jefferson's recently and I think, based strictly on the taste, that he is mixing several different bourbons together.
Ian, I think you are right. David from Twin said they were buying some of that.
And OX I wonder how you can be called a master distiller when you don't have a distillery?
I guess you can be one......
2012 Straight Bourbon Fantasy Football Champion
Trey Zoeller was a good guy and he was very in depth when speaking about his business practices and his bottlings. If anyone has questions about the line of Jefferson's or the JPS, I would be happy to clear it up.
Thanks again for getting me a bottle of Pappy 15.
It was a nice event tonight with Trey. The Jefferson's 17 was flavorful, looking forward to seeing how one more year in the barrel tastes when the 18 comes out in a couple of weeks.
2012 Straight Bourbon Fantasy Football Champion
Did he talk at all about accessing whiskey? I have a feeling, based on taste, that their current Jefferson's product is a blend of straight bourbons. That's kosher and still "straight bourbon" under the rules, and it's a tribute to him that he's been able to make such good use of the whiskey available to him.
John Hansell posted a bit about this..
"here has also been an improvement in the formula to Jefferson's Bourbon. On the outside (as you see in this picture) everything looks the same, but one sip will tell you that it's more mature than previous standard Jefferson's release. I'm told by the brand manager that there's some whiskey in there in the high teens."
Leads me to believe the are definitely blending different bourbons.
"Why? Because it's delicious!"
Bourbon always did make me feel like a Giant.

Creativity to Teach, Curiosity to Learn, Courage to Serve, Compassion to Care, in a diverse and complex world, SIUE Nursing: Excellence in Action!
These phrases from the School of Nursing mission statement greet visitors, students, faculty and staff in the form of hanging ceiling banners visible on the second floor of Alumni Hall, where the SON offices are located. It is our way of educating everyone about who we are and what we are about.
The SIUE School of Nursing is a dynamic place to learn and study the profession of nursing. Our program proudly offers two locations to provide the quality nursing education you desire: the Edwardsville campus and the Carbondale campus. Our curriculum, offered in both locations, is learner-centered, meaning that classes are interactive with a focus on learning and critical thinking.
The SIUE School of Nursing is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), the gold standard for baccalaureate and graduate degree nursing programs. The Certified Nurse Anesthesia Program also is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Programs.
When undergraduate students are admitted to the SON, they are assigned an academic advisor and a nursing faculty mentor. The advisors assist students in navigating the university course registration process and in making adjustments to their programs of study, if needed. The faculty mentors are the guides assisting students in learning the traits that become the foundation for the art and science of nursing. This is further evidence that the SIUE Nursing School is dedicated to ensuring that students are successful!
Students have at their disposal a state-of-the-art simulated learning laboratory with the latest in innovation and equipment. This laboratory enables students to practice nursing skills in an environment that allows for mistakes - and correction of these mistakes - before they begin caring for patients in our clinical settings.
At the graduate program level, the SON offers the Master's in Family Nurse Practitioner, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Health Care Nursing Administration, and Nurse Educator majors. In the fall 2011 semester, we welcomed our first class of DNP students to the School of Nursing. With a focus on leadership preparation, the program has proven to be outstanding. The program is entirely online, except for a couple of on-campus immersion experiences, making it convenient for the working nurse.
Nurses have many opportunities in health care. Nurses are anesthetists, nurse practitioners, forensic nurses, nurse educators and hospital administrators to highlight a few of the roles a nurse can assume.
We invite you to navigate the School of Nursing website to learn more about the curriculum, graduate offerings, clinical sites and our faculty. If you are thinking about nursing as a profession, I can assure you that you will find none more rewarding.
For more information about the SIUE School of Nursing, please contact Nancy Newman, firstname.lastname@example.com for undergraduate and RN to BS enrollment information. Potential graduate students should contact Pat Koehne, firstname.lastname@example.com for MS enrollment information. Excellence can be yours at the SIUE School of Nursing!

In a career stretching over some 20 years, Chicago composer-musician Joshua Abrams has improvised with many towering figures in free jazz, and collaborated with a menagerie of respected artists from across the genre spectrum. More recently, Abrams has turned to film scoring. His third film Life Itself, out July 4th nationwide, documents the life of another one of Chicago's native sons, film critic Roger Ebert.
Like so many other hard-working songwriters, ASCAP member Shannon Hurley relies on the income she earns from her music to make a living. But Shannon's livelihood is at stake due to royalty rates that haven't kept up with the pace of innovation. Find out why she thinks it's so important that you support the Songwriter Equity Act now.
Blac Soap have been producing quite the eclectic range of music since their 2004 formation. With tracks that resonate with the urban romantic, the modern artist and even the social revolutionary, Blac Soap have created a vast score for listeners across the globe. We caught up with them to chat about their new project, Cycle 9.
Brothers Marc and Steffan Fantini are the longtime co-composers of Criminal Minds and much more. To celebrate the release of their new movie Moms' Night Out, we asked the Fantinis about how their own mother made a difference in their music careers.
ASCAP member Alan Wilkis explores some fascinating technological subject matter with his "paranoid electronic pop" project, Big Data. Find out why he's both awed and terrified by the internet and its effects on the creative community, and listen to a playlist of songs about the relationship between man and machine.
Undead girlfriends and possessed chickens run amok in A Haunted House 2, a hilarious new feature film starring Marlon Wayans. Find out how ASCAP composer Jesse Voccia balanced belly laughs and tortured screams with his score.
The animated feature Rio 2 puts music front and center. Brazilian music legend Sergio Mendes worked with director Carlos Saldanha and composer John Powell to weave the film's tapestry of vibrant rhythm, orchestral textures and infectious pop/hip-hop tunes. We asked him how he did it.
We lost a true pioneer of house music when ASCAP DJ, producer and songwriter Frankie Knuckles passed away this week. Read about his musical and cultural legacy in this moving remembrance by Tommie Sunshine, one of the countless electronic music creators that Knuckles inspired.
Anthony Gonzalez of M83 and ASCAP composer Joe Trapanese collaborated on the dreamy, quiet score for the bawdy French comedy You and the Night, directed by Anthony's brother. We caught up with the two composers in Trapanese's studio and asked them how it compared to their epic collaboration on Oblivion.
Your album art is often the first visual exposure people have to your band, so it's important to make it count. Experienced graphic designer (and ASCAP member) Jeff Sheinkopf offers some practical advice on how you can put together an impressive album design on any budget.
Mr Little Jeans is the musical outfit of Norwegian-by-way-of-Los-Angeles ASCAP member Monica Birkenes. On her new album Pocketknife, out now on Harvest, Birkenes serves up 12 tracks of exuberant electro-pop, as multi-faceted as the tool that gave the album its name. We asked Birkenes to open up her Pocketknife for us.
ASCAP composer Nathan Furst got a personal thumbs up from Steven Spielberg for his score to Need for Speed, DreamWorks' film adaptation of the popular Electronic Arts video game series. We asked Furst what revved his engines about scoring the film.
Though it starts a few days before every band on the planet descends on Austin, TX, the SXSW Film Festival has plenty of terrific music to be heard, too. We've compiled a list of 21 ASCAP composers with films screening at SXSW, plus synopses and links to find out when you can watch them.

The long-rumored Nile Rodgers-Daft Punk collaboration may soon see daylight, according to the Chic frontman himself.
In a blog item on his own website, Rodgers posted this cheeky Photoshop of himself and the French electronica duo, with the title "2013 Won't Be Boring." In commenting on his recent Japanese tour, Rodgers noted: "The next time I set foot in Japan, my collaboration with Daft Punk would have started to hit people's eardrums, as well as a number of songs I'm working on over the next few months with a select group of artists, and of course finally, my lost CHIC and solo material. No matter how it ends, 2013 Won't Be Boring!"

By BRIAN SMITH
HUDSON OAKS – Dennis Hooks has watched his Lincoln dealership grow over the last quarter of a century.
Beginning Saturday, he will continue that growth in a new location.
Hooks Lincoln, on Fort Worth Highway in Hudson Oaks, will be leaving the location and moving 14 miles east to its new location at 8900 West Freeway in Fort Worth. Hooks said he had the opportunity to grow the business and the time was right to do so.
"We had the opportunity to pick up the Tarrant County trade area, as there hasn't been a Lincoln dealership in Fort Worth for about four years and we decided to do so," Hooks said. "We'll still serve the residents of Parker County as we have for many years. We'll just now be doing it from Fort Worth."
Hooks insists the move is nothing against the City of Hudson Oaks or the Weatherford area. He said he is leaving the area with mixed emotions.
"I've loved watching this business grow from its former tin roof shack to here to where we are over the last 26, 27 years," Hooks said. "There are no better people than the ones in Parker County who will hopefully make the move with us."
Hooks serves as mayor of Weatherford and insists he is not be leaving the area personally.
"We'll be moving the dealership but we love Weatherford too much to leave it," Hooks said. "We've had other opportunities to leave the area over the years but have turned them down because we love Parker County and Weatherford. My sons, Kip and Kory, will be going to the new dealership as will all our employees. It's simply a good move for us."
No business is scheduled to move into the Hudson Oaks dealership at the present time.

who is tired of turning 2 knobs for digital dual zone 03-07?
there is a way to lock them and take over with driver command and no it is not in defrost mode. when the system is on press and hold the auto button for a few seconds. it will take over and adjust the blower speed and blend door settings as this happens the arrows will lock and you now have driver command. then set your desired blower speed, temperature, and position this will take it out of auto. it will stay locked to drivers command until a passenger adjusts their side, even with ignition cycles. hope you enjoy.

How do I access a wireless network connection in the library?
How do I access the library databases from off campus?
Beginning January, 2008 you will no longer need to use library card barcode to access datbases from off campus. Users will use a SCCC User ID Login and Password, in fact, the same ID as your Angel login. When you attempt to use a Begley Library database from our Find Articles page from off-campus, a window will appear with instructions for inputting your User ID in order to gain access. If you still have questions, please call 518-381-1487, or click on the "Troubleshooting" link at the bottom of the login page, and please include in your email, your Student ID number, and a description of your question or problem.
I was successfully logged into the databases but was suddenly blocked from continued use. What happened and what can I do to resume use?
If after successfully logging in to our databases with your SCCC User ID, you are blocked from continued access with the following, or similar message: "File missing: - docs/suspended.htm." A transaction threshold has been reached by your account and any further use for the next six hours has been blocked. PLEASE CALL the Begley Library Reference Desk at 381-1239 during library hours, or note the problem with us via the Ask a Librarian service. After verifying that you are a legitimate SCCC patron, the librarian can request that the block be removed.
What is Serial Solutions?
The web-based technology that allows us to search for materials, especially periodical articles, across different databases is called OpenURL technology. At SCCC and the rest of SUNY, we use an OpenURL application called Serials Solutions. Many of the SCCC databases allow Serials Solutions to link (the link is called "360 Link") through to the full text of an article, if it is available in another of our databases to which we subscribe. If an article is not available in full text to SCCC users, it may be available at other campuses, via the Interlibrary Loan link on the screen. If your source database (the one in which you are searching) is ArticleFirst, there is an 360 link near the top of the bibliographic record display called "External Resources: ILL Request". Click on that link and a new window opens up a services window. There are options to either click through to your article contained in one or more databases, or begin the interlibrary loan process by c licking on the "Go" button following "Interlibrary Loan with ILLiad," or to "Google" your search. If you are using ILLiad for the first time, follow the instructions for creating an ILLiad account. Other source databases which have the 360 link are: All Gale/Infotrac databases, all EBSCO databases, ScienceDirect, and PsycArticles. Lexis Nexis Academic Universe does not support OpenURL technology as a "source," but does as a "target" of a link.
What are Discovery Tools?
They are technologies or applications that provide a single point of access to a broad range of library materials. Instead of searching separate databases and online catalogs for books and articles, discovery tools try to simplify the search process and eliminate the need to repeat the same search over and over in multiple library resources. Some tools even integrate other library technologies that allow a user to link through and request and/or obtain materials in the same session. These tools also often allow librarians and users to make limited customizations to their interface. For individual descriptions of the Discovery Tools Begley Library is offering, please see below.
Library MultiSearch.
This is an example of a federated or cross-database searching tool, that allows a user to search across several databases with a single term or phrase. Begley's Library MultiSearch uses the 360 Search software from the Serials Solutions company, which also allows users to simultaneously search our online public access catalog, or, OPAC. Results are consolidated and sorted in one easy-to-use interface. Many federated search tools include such features as relevance ranked search results, search facets, spell checking, and enchanced content, and our Library MultiSearch is no exception. Please note that not ALL of our databases can be searched by Library MultiSearch; Elsevier's ScienceDirect is one exception, and must still be searched separately. Currently, the MultiSearch box on our home page currently searches the following five tools: EBSCO Academic Search Complete, EBSCO Business Search Complete, Proquest Platinum, Lexis Nexis Academic Universe, and our OPAC. If you desire searching across more tools, click on the Advanced Search link, and a list of all the tools available will appear. Also the Advanced Search allows for Subject searching. Whether database searching or subject searching, simply click on the check boxes you wish to be included in your search. For more information about our MultiSearch tool, see the 360 Search User Guide.
EBSCOhost Integrated Search
is another federated search tool that allows users to simultaneously search EBSCO databases as well as other electronic resources, including those from other database aggregators, OPACs, and publisher packages. To search across databases, choose to search by subject or alphabetically. Then, either use the jump list or A-Z list, check off the desired databases or subject area in the checkboxes, then scroll back to the top of the page and click the "Continue" button to bring up the search box.
WorldCat Local
provides Web access to WorldCat, "the world's richest database for discovery of materials held in libraries." This tools differs from federated search engines, because it is a portal that provides access to materials beyond Begley Library. Millions of books and articles held worldwide become available via resource sharing programs such as Illiad. There are also links to social networking tools like Twitter, RSS feeds and blogs. Users can customize their own account's interface.

The so-called "birthday tax" that Georgia vehicle owners pay will end in March 2013 – for people who purchase a new vehicle.
Vehicles purchased on or after March 1 and titled in the state will be exempt from sales and use tax and the annual ad valorem tax, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Instead, due to the passage of House Bill 386, these vehicles will be subject to a new, one-time title ad valorem tax that is based on the value of the vehicle.
If you buy a new vehicle where you were paying sales tax on it, now it's called a title tax and is pretty much the same rate.
It's going to be 6.5 percent in 2013, 6.75 percent in 2014, in year three it will increase to seven percent and so on. However, you will not be paying the annual ad valorem tax on that new vehicle.
Another difference in the new law is that it will affect individuals who purchase a vehicle from another individual. The private sales that were traditionally exempt from being taxed will now be.
The tax is based on the fair market value of the vehicle at the time of the purchase or the sales price, whichever is higher.
You will continue to pay the annual ad valorem tax on vehicle(s) that you currently own.
To help residents understand the changes, Cherokee County Tax Commissioner Sonya Little said she will place an outline of the changes, answers to commonly asked questions and a link to the tax calculator on the agency's website.
Other aspects of the new law:
- The new title tax is based on a percentage (6.5 percent in 2013) of the fair market value of the vehicle, not the sales price, as determined by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
- If you purchase a vehicle in Georgia between January 1, 2012, and March 1, 2013, you have the option of paying the new title tax instead of the current annual ad valorem tax. You have from March 1, 2013, until December 31, 2013, to opt into the new program. Note: Vehicles purchased out-of-state are not eligible to opt in.
- All other existing annual vehicle registration requirements, including annual tag renewal fees, decals, and emission tests (if applicable), remain in effect for all vehicle owners.
Will the new Georgia tax affect your decision to purchase a new vehicle? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
