Opinion pieces on the foodservice equipment and supplies industry from leaders and laymen from all aspects of the business, including dealers, distributors, design consultants and multi-unit operators.
Job growth is critical for the foodservice industry to continue to grow. So the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' November jobs report showed a decline in unemployment is a good thing, right? Not when it means there are fewer people in the workforce. So foodservice will continue to ride the wave of emotion that accompanies the foggy labor outlook.
The good news is that the business environment is expected to improve in 2013. The bad news is that foodservice operators face no shortage of challenges heading into next year.
While Gross Domestic Product increased the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Performance Index slipped into contraction mode. Much like the overall U.S. economy, it seems as if the foodservice industry will continue to ride this roller coaster for a while.
Given that we are more connected than ever and as well informed as we have ever been, are trade associations still relevant in today's foodservice industry?
In many ways it is ironic that in this issue we explore the future of foodservice design consultants. That's because in this issue we also remember design consultant Jim Webb who passed away far too early in late October. It was out of several conversations with Jim that we decided to make this article part of our December issue.
Customer visits are up but check averages are down at casual dining establishments. So what does this all mean for the foodservice industry? This Week In Foodservice tries to make sense of it all.
With many people very jittery about the state of the overall economy, many observers are wondering about the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the foodservice industry. This Week In Foodservice sheds some light on the subject and takes a closer look at a variety of industry-related economic indicators.
Hurricane Sandy tested the resilience of the economy, foodservice operators and more.
As economists continue to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy, there's still plenty of economic news to report that impacts the foodservice industry, as noted in this edition of This Week In Foodservice. We also take a look at what one analyst has to say about the potential outcomes of the general election.
As the incomparable Yogi Berra once said, "...making predictions is hard, especially when they're about the future." Before you Google that...if he didn't say it, then he should have, because it's a pretty good line and more than a little true.

Hi all!
I am a first time mom to a beautiful 6 month old baby girl. We cloth diaper and I am an active member of the cloth diapering board and so I have come across the idea of ECing, but never really thought it would work. Weeeellll about two weeks ago my daughter started getting her top two teeth and had some mild diarreah. I was sick and tired of rinsing out her poopy diapers so I put her on the potty and to my amazement she IMMEDIATELY LOVED IT! I swear she got the concept immediately, so I told my husband and my in laws (who watch her sometimes when I have work) and we have been taking her potty before and after naps, after eating, and before and after leaving the house and we really don't even need diapers anymore except for nap and bedtime. She actually holds it in to go on the potty!!! It really is the most brilliant idea ever and I can't believe I brushed it off before and stressed so much over finding the perfect cloth diapers lol. I am beyond amazed at how easy this is and want to share it with the world! I would love to get to know you guys so please comment and share your stories with me : )

Picture the scene. You're the 19 year-old son of a Premier League legend who now manages Sunderland, and you're trying to break it in the tough world of professional football after plying your trade in the Charlton youth system.
Suddenly Big Sam has been in touch, the deal is agreed, and you're about to move to West Ham and live the dream, impress the boss and make new friends.
But wait.
An overwhelming feeling of dread runs through your body like a misty hangover of dread when you remember what you've done…
Welcome to the life of West Ham's latest recruit Diego Poyet.
Diego fancies himself as a bit of a baller and has, in the past, taken to Twitter to pass judgement on fellow professionals not knowing that one day Big A C will track you down:
Up first, a dig at West Ham's record signing...
Followed by another...
Then his new midfield partner
And a general pop at the club for good measure
In fairness he knows when to say sorry
Feel stupid for the tweets I made when I was 16, the big mans going to kill me!! Sorry @AndyTCarrollpic.twitter.com/PgUAfKG3v8— Diego Poyet (@diegopoyet7) August 13, 2014
And the big man shows a good sense of humour...
A big thanks to @diegopoyet7 for agreeing to make my morning cuppa every morning for the next month!!— Andy Carroll (@AndyTCarroll) August 13, 2014

Good evening and welcome to our coverage of this evening's FA Cup third-round replays.
Our main focus tonight is the all-Premier League clash between Fulham and Norwich, who played out a 1-1 draw the weekend before last.
We'll also keep you updated on all the other games throughout the evening.
For the completist - or anyone with the temerity to support a non-top-flight club – here are the evening's other replays:
- MK Dons vs Wigan (winner plays Crystal Palace away)
- Peterborough vs Kidderminster (winner plays Sunderland away)
- Plymouth vs Port Vale (winner plays Brighton at home)
- Preston vs Ipswich (winner plays Nottingham Forest away)
- Sheffield Wednesday vs Macclesfield (winner plays Rochdale away)
- Watford vs Bristol City (winner plays Blackburn or Man City away)
And there are also three third-round games which aren't replays:
- Charlton vs Oxford (winner plays Huddersfield away)
- Bournemouth vs Burton (winner plays Liverpool at home)
- Birmingham vs Bristol Rovers (winner plays Crawley or Swansea at home)
The teams are in. There's no Dimitar Berbatov for Fulham, with Darren Bent set to lead the line alone. Young defender Dan Burn gets a start at left-back for the Cottagers.
For Norwich, Chris Hughton rings the changes. Josh Murphy gets a chance to impress in attack, while Javier Garrido and Johan Elmander are among the other players to come into the side.
- Fulham: Stekelenburg, Riether, Hangeland, Burn, Richardson, Karagounis, Sidwell, Dejagah, Kasami, Kacaniklic, Bent
- Subs: Stockdale, Hughes, Rodallega, Dempsey, Christensen, Tankovic, Dembele
- Norwich: Bunn, Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Garrido, Fox, Johnson, Snodgrass, Redmond, Josh Murphy, Elmander
- Subs: Ruddy, van Wolfswinkel, Fer, Hoolahan, Becchio, Ryan Bennett, Jacob Murphy
The changing rooms at Craven Cottage look fairly... poky:
PANORAMA: Inside the #NCFC changing room: pic.twitter.com/UVJsY9G9od— Norwich City FC (@NorwichCityFC) January 14, 2014
Chris Hughton is doing his polite thing on BT Sport. He truly seems like a lovely man.
The prize on offer to Fulham and Norwich tonight, by the way, is a glamorous-looking fourth round tie against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. It doesn't get much bigger than this.*
*Apart from when it does. Which is almost always.
I bet he's at home, spread-eagled on his chaise longue. What a man.
Dimitar Berbatov may have better things to do, but Fulham vs Norwich about to kick off http://t.co/BctzCqIiAr pic.twitter.com/0nB2BKEl3n— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) January 14, 2014
Fulham get the game underway. It's fair to say Craven Cottage isn't quite full. In fact, I've seen better-attended board meetings. In companies with only three employees. Two of whom don't attend the board meetings because they're subordinates.
Norwich twice go close to taking the lead. Nathan Redmond is denied by a smart save from Marten Stekelnburg, before Robert Snodgrass curls a magnificent effort against the bar.
Goals elsewhere: Bournemouth go ahead against Burton, Sheffield Wednesday take the lead against Macclesfield.
Fulham win a free-kick just outside the box and take an absolute age to take it. Eventually it's Pajtim Kasami who hits it... straight at the goalkeeper. What a waste of time that was.
Elsewhere: FA Cup holders Wigan are losing to MK Dons, Plymouth lead Port Vale, Oxford are beating Charlton.
GOAL: Fulham 1-0 Norwich (Bent)
The hosts get their noses in front at Craven Cottage. Pajtim Kasami finds some space down the right and crosses low towards Ashkan Dejagah. The winger fails to make contact but the ball falls kindly to Darren Bent, whose low shot sneaks past Mark Bunn.
Fulham now enjoying the lion's share of possession against Norwich. Canaries defender Russell Martin is limping after a heavy challenge but it looks like he'll be OK to continue.
Elsewhere: Oxford are now 2-0 up against Charlton, Peterborough are beating Kidderminster.
There are, it seems, just too many Bristol Rovers fans for St Andrews.
"Your grounds to small for us!" Rovers fan chant! Been stood here for 15mins pic.twitter.com/74XFXhWbN0— Gas FOLLOW BACK #UTG (@bs13gas) January 14, 2014
GOAL: Fulham 2-0 Norwich (Dejagah)
This is far too easy for Fulham. Giorgos Karagounis slides a pass to Alex Kacaniklic, who looks up and crosses low towards Ashkan Dejagah. The winger clips the ball over Mark Bunn for 2-0. Apologies for any and all names I have spelt wrong in this update.
Half-time: Fulham 2-0 Norwich
It's been one-way traffic at Craven Cottage, with the home side well in command at the interval. Norwich will have to improve markedly to get back into this.
The other half-time scores:
- Birmingham 1-0 Bristol Rovers
- Bournemouth 2-1 Burton
- Charlton 0-2 Oxford
- MK Dons 1-0 Wigan
- Peterborough 1-0 Kidderminster
- Plymouth 2-1 Port Vale
- Preston 0-0 Ipswich
- Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Macclesfield
- Watford 1-0 Bristol City
Cracking effort, this:
Macclesfield fans at Hillsborough tonight. Great following for a non-league side. pic.twitter.com/5dgLMKPAKN— Football Away Days (@awaydays_) January 14, 2014
Back underway at Craven Cottage. One half-time change for Norwich: Ricky van Wolfswinkel is on for Nathan Redmond.
Can the big man help the Canaries pose more of a threat this half?
Not a great deal has happened in the last ten minutes. Sorry about that. But there's quite a story developing elsewhere, with Kidderminster Harriers coming from behind to lead Peterborough.
Could be some FA Cup #magic in that one.
Sounds like the diet of an athlete. Kind of.
Now some food down my face and flush it down with a can of cola! Lifes great! Then off to bed...knackered!Cant wait for the first coffee 2mo— Mikael Forssell (@MikaelForssell) January 14, 2014
GOAL: Fulham 3-0 Norwich (Sidwell)
If it wasn't over before, it certainly is now. Steve Sidwell, who has been on a roll of late, towers over his man to power a header past Mark Bunn at the far post. Norwich's defending has been very ordinary this evening.

text: University of Kansas Medical Center Kansas City-Area Hospitals Vary Widely In Percentage Of Doctors Who Take Drug Company Payments By Dan Margolies • Jun 29, 2016 Wikimedia -- Creative Commons Kansas City-area hospitals vary greatly when it comes to the percentage of their doctors who accept money from drug and medical device companies. The hospital with the highest percentage is Providence Medical Center, where nearly 89 percent of its doctors took such payments in 2014, the last year for which data are available. The hospital with the lowest percentage is Truman Medical Center Lakewood, where only 43.8 percent of its physicians took payments from those industries in 2014. Gun Control Advocate Raises Questions About Kansas Concealed Carry Gun Policy By Alex Smith • Jun 13, 2016 Alex Smith / KCUR As the nation grapples with the weekend mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, one of the country's leading advocates for gun control offered some advice to the state of Kansas. Joshua Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, spoke to health care providers, educators and medical students at the University of Kansas Medical Center on Monday, laying out a proposal to create temporary gun restrictions as a way to reduce gun violence. He said special considerations are needed when someone is experiencing a crisis and may be at risk for dangerous behavior. Kansas Lawmakers Want KU Stem Cell Center To Be Financially Independent By Andy Marso • Feb 9, 2016 Andy Marso / Heartland Health Monitor After three years of providing state funding for a medical research center focused on adult stem cell treatments, Kansas legislators are asking when the center will be financially independent. Officials from the University of Kansas Medical Center's Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center had just presented their annual report Monday when Sen. Jeff Melcher, a Republican from Leawood, asked whether they were seeking "venture funding or any private equity to continue this once the state's contribution to this research has ended." Kansas City Art Institute Builds A Bridge Between Science And Art By Laura Spencer • May 8, 2015 Laura Spencer / KCUR Listen Listening... / 4:51 For centuries, scientists have looked to artists to help visualize the complexities of the human body. The techniques have changed — from wood engravings and copper plate prints to microscopic photos and digital animation — but the focus on storytelling is the same. It's a profession known as medical illustration and there's an effort to cultivate more of it in Kansas City. Mixing art with science The illustration department at the Kansas City Art Institute is tucked into a former grocery store at 43rd and Oak. At two long tables near the entrance, a handful of students quietly surf the Internet or eat a snack just before the start of a biomedical visualization class. Olathe Medical Center Unveils $100 Million Expansion Project By Mike Sherry • Jan 30, 2015 HMN Architects and Pixel Foundry Olathe Medical Center on Friday announced the largest expansion in the hospital's six-decade history, a cradle-to-grave project that calls for new buildings for obstetrics and patients with dementia. With an estimated price tag of more than $100 million, including buildings and equipment, the project also calls for construction of a new cancer center and expansion of the hospital's cardiovascular center. Volker Neighbors Learning To Love KU Hospital And Medical Center, Gradually By Laura Ziegler • Jan 15, 2015 Laura Ziegler / KCUR The University of Kansas Hospital and University of Kansas Medical Center run along State Line Road adjacent to Kansas City, Missouri's Volker neighborhood. A tight-knit few blocks, where students unwind in neighborhood bars and long-time homeowners chat while walking dogs. The institution is growing, and like many "town and gown" situations, the expansion has created some challenges. Solving The Puzzling Mental Illness of Bhutanese Refugees By Alex Smith • Oct 28, 2014 Alex Smith / KCUR Making the rounds at a public housing complex in Kansas City, Kan., community health worker Rinzin Wangmo is greeted by cheery voices and faces. As she enters a home, the heavy aroma of chopped onions stings her nose, and she hurries up a short flight of stairs to escape the burn. After gently knocking on a door, she walks in to meet with a woman who's bedridden with pain. The woman's condition is not unusual among Bhutanese refugees, according to University of Kansas professor Dr. Joe LeMaster. KU Docs Say Proposed Cure For Transplant Waits Would Make Local Patients Sicker By Alex Smith • Jul 21, 2014 University of Kansas Hospital When Steve Jobs needed a liver transplant in 2009, the Apple CEO left California and went to Memphis, Tenn. While his home state has some of the longest waiting lists in the country for donated livers, Tennessee has some of the shortest. Many health advocates point to Jobs' story as an example of the harsh disparities faced by those who need new livers in different parts of the country. Plans are in the works to fix those disparities, but some Kansas City doctors worry about what a shake-up would mean for local hospitals and patients. Cancer Clinical Trial Program In Kansas Awaits Decision On Its Fate By Bryan Thompson • May 27, 2014 Wikimedia / CC Kraig Moore is one of the patients helping test experimental cancer treatments through a clinical trials program operated by the Wichita-based Cancer Center of Kansas. The 47-year-old psychologist, who also operates a bed-and-breakfast near Mulvane, Kan., was diagnosed last January with stage 3b metastatic malignant melanoma. KU Announces Plans For Multiple Sclerosis Center By Alex Smith • Mar 6, 2014 The University of Kansas Medical Center will create a new center to help those with multiple sclerosis improve their physical and emotional health as well as lifestyle. KU announced Wednesday morning that an $800,000 grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation would help fund the project. A former day care facility at 3503 Rainbow Blvd. will be renovated to house the new Comprehensive Center for Multiple Sclerosis Care. The new center will serve between 100 and 125 participants weekly. Committee 'Green Lights' KU Med Center Building Project By Jim McLean • Feb 14, 2014 The legislative committee charged with overseeing state building projects today added money to next year's budget to help the University of Kansas fund construction of a $75 million classroom building on its Kansas City, Kan. campus. The Joint Committee on State Building Construction voted to add $1.4 million to the fiscal 2015 budget to help pay for bonds that will be issued to fund the project. The plan is for the state to contribute $15 million over time to help finance up to $35 million in construction bonds. KU Chancellor Seeking State Support For New Med Center Building By Jim McLean • Feb 14, 2014 University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is scheduled to appear before a legislative committee Thursday to renew a request for state help in financing a state-of-the-art classroom building at its medical school. In testimony to the Joint Committee on State Building Construction, Gray-Little is expected to say that the $75 million building is urgently needed to meet accreditation standards and to accommodate new ways of teaching that emphasize active learning in small-group settings over note taking in large lecture halls. Exhibition Program Halted At KU Medical Center By Laura Spencer • Aug 28, 2013 Laura Spencer / KCUR After more than 20 years of showing rotating artwork, mostly of local artists, an exhibition program at University of Kansas Medical Center has closed. Officials say it's the impact of steep cuts to state funding. And the KU Chancellor defended the school's commitment to free speech Tuesday. But others are calling it censorship.

Previously I was using WP 1.2.1 and using this hack: http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=5325 and all was good for the most part, wasn't exactly what I wanted but at least it did most.
Then I upgraded to 1.2.2 and that hack didn't work anymore, I've also tried the changes at the end of that thread - also not working with 1.2.2 so with that said I'm willing to pay someone to re-create ths hack plus add the features I'd like to have.
1st. Upon uploading I want the obvious upload box. Under file I want the Description box but I'd like it a required form. Under that I'd like the "Create a thumbnail?" option to be pre-selected for 400px. After that I want this option added, I want three radio buttons that say the following:
With a title above the three radio buttons called "Align:?" with Center also pre-selected.
2nd - When "Upload" is pressed I want the outcome to give two sets of code just like the 1st hack did found above. However I want the html code to be wrapped in this:

 THUMBNAIL IMAGE HERE WITH LINK TO FULL IMAGE

Below the thumbnail image and link I'd like the html to just the full image also wrapped in the DIV with the correct class selected pending on which was choosen at upload.
I honestly don't know how hard this would or wouldn't be so if you think you can handle this and make it work for 1.2.2 then please let me know along with your price.

Former Yankees Pitcher Hideki Irabu Found Dead
Hideki Irabu, a Japanese pitcher who debuted for the New York Yankees in 1997, was found dead after an apparent suicide in Los Angeles.

"'He was found dead by an apparent suicide,' he said."
"Irabu lived in Rancho Palos Verdes but it was not immediately clear whether it was his home, the sergeant said."
Irabu played six years in Major League Baseball, posting a career ERA of 5.15. He ended his run after doing a stint the Texas Rangers in 2002.

oops. I guess I need to pull my pants up :)
That man does all of us a large disservice.
The best part is most 'gangastas' don't realize the droopy pants look started in prison as a 'welcome mat' for prisoners looking for some free sex.
that man is a "crack" shot...
That's a tricky line, right there. As we all know, some of the gutter trash out there take any look, statement or attention as being an affront to their dignity, their manhood and worthy of heavy-handed response. Who's to say who the instigator is? Seems to me that someone who asks a simple question or makes a simple comment without any venom or intent on antagonizing anyone isn't deliberately instigating anything. NOBODY, however, has the right to so dramatically escalate things to the point of violence, like so many of these gutter whelps end up doing, given the least possible opportunity to do so.Anyone stupid enough to instigate an altercation ...
Example that we can all relate to: Honking a horn when driving a car to notify others of danger isn't a crime, an instigation, an escalation or bad in the least; it's normal procedure with an expected non-outcome; and it's the CRIMINAL who decides to take such a thing and turn it into cause for violence ... not the other way around.
That being said, only the players and witnesses likely know what really occurred in the OP situation. I have no idea who the instigator was, though the finger's being pointed at the shooter.

I have a 8GB RAM Linux server which will be running Apache and mysql. First I was thinking of chrooting mysql (and apache) but then thought of putting mysql in a virtual machine on the same server, say a kvm guest with enough RAM dedicated to it (e.g. half, or 4GB). One reason was that this solution - provided that the kvm guest host has gone through the Linux hardening process - would be more secure than having a regular chroot. But I thought another reason would be to make the setup more "stable" in the sense that mysql would not interfere with apache as much as when both are on the same server. I mean, even if they are both on a same physical server, keeping mysql in a separate virtual machine surely would make memory, cpu, etc more controllable. Is this a recommended setup? Also, would mysql performance suffer from having it inside a VM?
Edit: debian 64 bit, kernel 3.7.4, dedicated server with nothing else on.

Boeing's Tech Workers Vote To Authorize Strike
Boeing has its hands full right now. It is still trying to get to the bottom of a battery fire on one of its new 787s, and now technical workers have authorized a strike. They'll negotiate again before a walkout.
Boeing has won a partial victory in a contract dispute with its engineering union, and that reduces the odds of a strike, as Ashley Gross of member station KPLU in Seattle reports.
ASHLEY GROSS, BYLINE: The engineering union covers two sets of workers - salaried engineers and hourly technical workers. The engineers voted to accept Boeing's final offer. The technical workers rejected it and authorized a strike.
They'll negotiate again before a walkout, but that split vote puts union leaders like Tom McCarty in a tough position.
TOM MCCARTY: It changes the dynamic. We will have less leverage.
GROSS: Since the engineers have accepted the contract, they can't walk out. That means a much smaller potential strike - about 7,400 people instead of 23,000, if engineers were included. That takes some of the pressure off of a company already in crisis. Boeing has been racing to fix the batteries on its flagship 787 Dreamliner.
Technical worker Joel Funfar says he and other techs are worried about changes to Boeing's retirement plan. That was less of an issue for the engineers, known as profs.
JOEL FUNFAR: The techs make less so they maybe don't have as much money to invest as some of the profs.
GROSS: Boeing wants to offer new hires a 401(k)-type retirement plan instead of a pension. The company says it needs to get a handle on pension costs so it can have more money to invest in designing new airplanes.
Union leaders say they want to head back to the bargaining table. Boeing says it will do that, but it's called the contract its best and final offer.

I'm doing a bit of investigating into the file system of Windows (in this case, Windows 7), and there's been a few times now where I've had to alter something in System32. For those times, I've booted into a Linux live CD that I have lying about and edit it through that, but I was wondering if there was a simpler option? I'd rather not have to boot into a full graphical environment just to edit one thing. Ideally, I'm looking for something that is basically a console that I can boot to that has access to the other mounted partitions and can perform all the basic stuff like renaming files, copying files etc.
Is there anything like that out there?

Hi, mu-plugin stands for "must use" plugins not "multi user".
If you swop all instances of
$cimy_uef_plugins_dir == "mu-plugins"
and then "network activate" the plugin from the network admin plugin list, one can achieve similar effect in a the more 'wordpress way. Then folks can then more easily activate and deactivate when testing.
It also allows the possibility of NOT network activating it and having the subsites activate as they wish.
Also suggest take that cimy_uef_mu_activation.php out of the must-use folder. It does not disappear when network deactivating the plugin, leaving those extra menu options, which was somewhat annoying.
Also you may wish to fix warnings when there are no hidden fields:

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Preventing Problems Using Gutter Protection5 years ago
This Web Exclusive article is contributed by Tim Croll, manager of business development for FXI Building Products Corporation, maker of Leaf Defier® gutter protection systems. Clean gutters are a necessity for every facility. The failure to keep gutters free of obstructions and debris can lead to multiple problems that, in many cases, prove more timely and costly to fix than the initial preventive methods. This is because rainwater and moisture, if left unchecked and not properly funneled away from buildings, can: increase stormwater runoff leading to overflows that cause landscaping erosion; cause roof water overflows that may eventually cause foundation cracking; produce biological pollutants such as mold; and create conditions that invite insects, vermin and other pests to feed and nest. As a result, an important component of facility management, but one that is often underused, is gutter protection. The fact is that few facility managers understand the full value of systems that dependably direct the flow of water away from their facilities. Even if cleaned regularly, gutters can become clogged with obstacles ranging from twigs, leaves, and pine needles to seeds and acorns to animal remains. Consequently, this debris not only prevents the free flow of water from properties, it also creates a moisture-laden breeding ground for pests and other creatures. Subsequently, studies have recently defined the importance of reliable and tested gutter protection products, which have been proven to direct the flow of water and particulates through gutter valleys, while eliminating obstructions. Properly maintained and monitored gutters can help prevent the formation of heavy sludge pockets that cause sags and other forms of water related damage. In addition, gutter protection systems can also help eliminate threats to indoor air quality. This is because clogged gutters can cause seepage, which can lead to the growth of mold in drywall, sub-floors, carpets, and rooftops. As a result, quality protection systems can improve the interior environmental quality of structures by consistently funneling water away from rooftops and reducing the opportunity for moisture to penetrate building envelopes. Research within the pest management field has also confirmed the potential benefits of gutter protection systems, which if used properly can change conducive conditions away from pests, critters, and insects and toward facility managers. For instance, recent tests have shown that effective systems can solve pest problems by keeping gutter pathways clear of potential food sources, while helping to prevent all forms of pests from entering the gutter cavity, including breeding insects such as mosquitoes and carpenter ants. Subsequently, proper gutter protection strategies should become… …Read More…

Despite City Crackdown, Illegal and Overcrowded Apartments Survive
By VIVIAN S. TOY
Published: December 7, 1998
Built as a rooming house some 75 years ago, the hulking gray Colonial at 232 Beach 121st Street in Rockaway Beach used to be a sanctuary for people who came to the once-booming resort area to enjoy the sea breezes.
But for as long as neighbors can remember, the house has been anything but a haven: It has a list of building code violations going back more than a decade, and more than $30,000 in unpaid fines. Where there once were guest rooms and a central kitchen, now there are nine illegal apartments. Holes in walls leave wires exposed, windows have been painted shut, toilets are not securely attached to the floor and apartment doors are outfitted to enable the landlord to padlock apartments at will.
Despite the parade of city inspectors who have been to the house over the years, the owner, Sue Me Inc., a real estate company based in New Jersey, has ignored the dozens of summonses and fines issued for the house.
Community leaders and politicians point to the house as a prime example of how building owners continue to flout city regulations, despite increased efforts to crack down on illegally subdivided houses across the city. And although city and state laws passed last year to make it easier to shut down illegally converted houses have resulted in more fines, few houses have actually been restored to safer conditions.
The statistics behind the crackdown would seem impressive: Since March 1997, when the city created a unit of 13 building inspectors to ferret out illegal conversions in Queens -- the borough with the highest number of such complaints -- the number of violation summonses issued across the city has increased more than sixfold. In fiscal year 1996, the Department of Buildings wrote only 637 summonses for building code violations. In fiscal year 1998, which ended on June 30, the number had grown to 4,094.
But increased vigilance has its own complications. While the amount the city collects has grown significantly, to $1.2 million last fiscal year, from $229,000 in fiscal year 1996, the actual collection rate dropped to 25 percent last year from 52 percent in 1996, leaving fines of more than $3.7 million uncollected last year.
''We've made a very good start,'' said Gaston Silva, the Commissioner of Buildings. ''But we certainly haven't cured the problem or fixed it.''
Even city officials acknowledge that the enforcement system lacks the power to force landlords to comply with regulations. Some find it to their advantage to continue to pay the fines and collect the rent.
''Nothing has changed,'' said Patricia Dolan, president of the Kew Gardens Hills Homeowners' Civic Association. ''We've got more inspectors and a lot more violations on the books, but there's still nothing to force compliance and make people correct dangerous situations.''
But other community leaders complain that the crackdown goes too far. Immigrants tend to be drawn to the less expensive housing, and some immigrant groups say the crackdown will not only aggravate the city's already intense shortage of affordable housing but also hurt working-class people who need the added income from renting a basement or attic apartment.
In reply, city officials cite the dangers of living in the makeshift, crowded apartments. In recent years, a number of electrical fires attributed to faulty and makeshift wiring have killed residents of basement and attic apartments.
Mr. Silva said the city crackdown has had the greatest effect on people he described as one-time offenders, homeowners who illegally rent out their attics or basements for extra cash. He estimated that slightly more than half the 4,000 cases his agency came across last year fit that category and that most of those homeowners had paid their fines and removed the illegal bathrooms and kitchens.
Community leaders, however, remain skeptical. They pointed to the 10 houses with illegal apartments that the Queens Borough President's Illegal Conversion Task Force has closely followed for more than a year as a way of testing the enforcement system, and noted that despite repeated citations and fines, illegal conditions have continued at all but two of the houses. In at least five cases, the owners have neither paid the fines nor made changes.
For example, a handsome brick house in Jamaica Estates, at 86-20 Avon Street, has been an annoyance for years, the neighbors say. Although the owner has paid thousands of dollars in fines, a two-story addition that has been found to be illegal is still standing behind the house.
From the street, the house seems to fit right in with the stately Tudors and Colonials that line the neighborhood's winding roads, but neighbors have long complained about all the people who come and go at side entrances near the back of the property. They suspect that the addition is rented out as duplex apartments.
''Fines are great, but nothing changes if the city doesn't make people correct the violation,'' said Fran Lieu, the zoning chairwoman of the Jamaica Estates Association, a residents' organization. ''And as far as we can tell, nothing has changed there.''

Touch Interface to Nano, No More Video,
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 16 GB Graphite (6th Generation) discontinued Model (In Plain White Box) (Electronics)
The iPod Nano update on September 1, 2010 is arguably the most dramatic since the iPod Nano moniker was introduced by Apple five years ago.
More than an update, this is a new product that simply retains the iPod Nano name. It gains a significant feature, but loses several others.
The big deal is the touch interface on the newest iPod Nano. iPod Nano users will now be "touching," their music as iPod Touch and iPhone users have before them. The click wheel is gone. To find your music, you select a category from the Nano's menu such as "Playlists," or "Artists," and select from there. Less convenient or more convenient than a click wheel? Honestly, about equal. The screen is indeed small, but not unusable.
FM Radio has been retained as well as the Fitness aspects with the ability to use Nike + or simply the built in pedometer. However, the form factor will be a major benefit for those working out with the Nano. The previous Nano required an armband to keep it on you while working out, jogging, or the like. Not always comfortable, an additional expense, etc. However, with this new small, square form factor that need is gone. Now, we can simply "clip," the Nano onto us, with the built in clip, and run to our listening content. A bigger deal than you might think.
The downside? Features have been removed from Nano. The screen is much smaller than the previous generation. Therefore, playback of video content from iTunes is gone. Nano no longer plays video, which was a feature added three years ago. Secondly, last year, Nano added a small video camera to record low quality video, which could be played back on the Nano's screen or synced with iTunes and viewed on your computer. That feature is gone too. The device is too small now for a camera or to watch video. This new generation iPod Nano has many exciting new features, but buyers must be aware that it is no longer a video player. It is something new. Those wishing to play video on an iPod must choose an iPod Touch.
My opinion on this change? Honestly, did I ever watch video on the iPod Nano's screen? No. For me, while they kept trying to make the screen larger, it was simply too small to enjoy more than a once a year video. Likewise, the camera was simply not high enough quality to keep yourself entertained by using on a regular basis. It became a feature unused by many.
The iPod Nano has changed and gone back to being an exceptional music player. There is nothing here you do not need to enjoy music. However, the display and touch interface brings the 21st century "touch," that Apple has made so popular to a more affordable device. The touch function will be limited here to simply selecting songs or bringing up the clock, but nevertheless, touch has made its way to the Nano.
I'm most thankful that the Nano has indeed retained the DOCK CONNECTOR. The dock connector is key to use with iPod accessories such as docks, speaker docks, and built in car iPod connectors. The nano is so diminutive that if you plug it into the factory iPod kit of an automobile, the cable's dock connector will look nearly bigger than the Nano itself. Not a negative, just amusing. Nevertheless, the dock connector is there, and you will be able to use the device in such applications, and that was a significant decision by Apple. Users want and need the dock connector. It is there on this iPod Nano, but still missing from the Shuffle due to its even more diminutive size.
This 16 GB version is the largest size Apple offers in the Nano. It offers no additional functionality over the 8GB, but features twice the storage. Choose the one best for you. 16 GB is great if you have a large music collection. We should all remember though that with Nano no longer doing Video or Storing Pictures, the storage is exclusively for music. This makes 8 GB and 16 GB more appropriate size offerings as music takes up much less storage than video.
Overall, Apple has removed video (both playback and recording) from this iPod Nano. However, it's an equalling good music player. Navigation of music is now completed via touch, which works effectively despite the small screen. It's really hard to believe so much can fit into such a small device and I believe everyone will be a bit shocked when they open up the Nano the first time and see it's size yet primary function as an effective music player retained. The newest Nano brings a nearly Shuffle like size, but yet retains the functionality (touch, clip, dock connector) that serious music lovers and those who use the Nano while working out, demand.

i agree - why are you reviewing a product that hasn't even been released yet? i don't think every single gadget needs to have a camera and be able to show video. i have my phone for that. or my actual camera. i've been wanting something the size of the shuffle but with the capability of a larger nano. i'm thrilled with this update.

Why is Rusty's Revenge adding to the review of a product that hasn't been released yet? How can you like features of a product which isn't for sale? Shouldn't you wait until you own one to make a comment?
Sorry, but I couldn't resist saying that! Ha, ha, ha!!!
But seriously, isn't $180 an awful lot to ask for a little box which does nothing but play music? The competition's products are half the price Apple charges.

Wow, sure gotta agree with that. But perhaps Stephen "Books911" is really Steve Jobs' sock puppet.
Would that make his review legitimate, since he's acutally used the product? Or would it make him the target of a government investigation? Being a CEO sock puppet is illegal, you naughty boy!
P.S. I was just kidding about the Steven Jobs sock puppet, but have you read this reviewer's latest Apple reviews? Like he's reviewed everything Apple has, even though he's never bought any of them.

@ Just Some Guy: There is a reason why people are willing to pay more for Apple products. No one is forcing them to do so (over and over, and standing in long lines at that!). You may not understand or agree with the choices others are making, but in the end the customer is always right. To me, that means Apple is creating the right products people at the right price. When was the last time you saw people camp out days before to buy a newly released Sony, Samsung or Microsoft product? The $s don't lie my friend. P.S: I'm a long time Mac hater who has happily crossed over to the dark side.

Amnon I. Govrin says:
The new nano does have a photo app very similar to the iPod Touch or iPhone, so the review isn't even correct.
Apple in this incarnation of iPods is clearly trying to push people up.
an iPod Shuffle 4GB? No more, only 2GB. Buy the new Nano, at 8GB or 16GB.
iPod Nano with video? No more, but the iPod Touch (which oddly enough has an 8GB, 32GB and 64GB models only, again to push people to 32GB where 16GB would be enough.
Strategy which may or may not work (Apple sometimes misses, but usually doesn't).
As an iPod Shuffle 4GB owner (got it at a raffle) I am very content with what I have but I like what I see so far with the new Nano as an upgrade. It is 4g heavier than my Shuffle, has 2.4X the battery life and much more functionality.
People might have been happier if the new Nano were the new Shuffle and there was actually a new Nano that was somewhere around a 1/2-2/3 size of the iPod Touch with real iOS and minus some features. Just a thought.
At the end of the day, if people don't buy the new stuff Apple will take notice :-)

Nursing Homes Reel From Medicare Cuts Amid Credit Downgrades
Nursing homes such as Sun Healthcare Group Inc. can't absorb more cuts from U.S. health programs after an 11 percent Medicare payment rollback and enactment of a deficit-reduction law that threatens a 2 percent cut, the industry's Washington lobby said.
The financial pressures have triggered a review by credit ratings service Standard & Poor's, which yesterday placed the debt of for-profit homes including Sun and Skilled Healthcare Group Inc. on watch for a downgrade from B, already five steps below investment grade. Standard & Poor's said the 11 percent reduction that goes into effect in October will erode earnings.
"There comes a point in any sector when additional cuts can no longer be shifted, absorbed or passed through to others," said Mark Parkinson, chief executive officer of the American Health Care Association, the industry's Washington lobbying group. "For our profession, that tipping point is right now."
A new reimbursement system implemented last year led to nursing home overpayments from Medicare, the federal health plan for the elderly and disabled. A rollback announced July 29 will force operators to give up $3.87 billion next year.
Company shares have been under pressure since April 28, when Medicare issued a draft regulation saying it might cut payments to the companies because of overbilling. Since then, shares of Irvine, California-based Sun Healthcare have fallen 76 percent; Louisville, Kentucky-based Kindred Healthcare Inc. has declined 51 percent; and Skilled Healthcare of Foothill Ranch, California; has fallen 66 percent. All are currently trading at their lowest prices this year.
Share Decline
Nursing home stocks are trading at their lowest prices all year. Kindred shares fell 80 cents, or 5.8 percent, to $12.93 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Skilled shares fell 37 cents, or 7.5 percent, to $4.58. Shares of Sun fell 1 cent to $3.29.
Medicare payments for services including post-surgical rehabilitation make up 23 percent of the industry's revenue though only constituting 12 percent of the patient volume, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. Homes made an 18 percent profit margin on Medicare patients in 2009, the commission said. In total, the program paid nursing homes $26.4 billion on nursing home payments in 2010.
The industry's lobbying group pledged to fight cuts that could be included in a package drawn up by a bipartisan commission charged with finding at least $1.2 trillion in U.S. budget cuts by Nov. 23. If the group doesn't get its cuts through Congress, Medicare will automatically slash provider payments by 2 percent starting in 2013.
On Watch
The financial pressures have led Standard & Poor's to put six for-profit nursing homes on watch for a downgrade, the ratings company said in a statement. Sun, Kindred Healthcare and Skilled Healthcare were the three publicly traded companies called out by the agency for a potential downgrade. Skilled and Sun both have B ratings, and Kindred a B plus.
The ratings company said that falling revenue will make it difficult for the companies to sustain margins. "Resulting payment reductions will impair cash flow prospects and create a challenge for our low-speculative-grade rated for-profit nursing homes to cope with tighter liquidity," the company said of Sun Healthcare.
The three other operators affected are closely held and include HCR Manorcare Inc., which is owned by Washington-based private equity firm Carlyle Group.

Improving Scalability Through UNC-Based Centralized Content Storage
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
IIS 6.0 delivers several technical changes that make it easier for ISPs or other organizations to create UNC-based centralized storage solutions. Centralized content storage can make it much easier to scale your installation to thousands of Web sites. Centralized storage can also help minimize time commitments for server management and administration. This section describes the following:
Caching Changes. For UNC content, IIS 6.0 provides the new last-modified caching algorithm for both static and ASP files. In addition, IIS 6.0 improves the performance of change-notification-based caching for ASP files.
UNC Authentication. IIS 6.0 now performs UNC authentication, formerly called Passthrough authentication, by default.
Constrained Delegation. With constrained delegation, you can allow delegation only to certain services, so you can control the specific network resources that a service or computer can use.
