I do agree with you Curtis, this FULL version is really beautiful.Originally Posted by curtis simpkins
I still wonder why they did shorten the version that was released in the 60's.
But I have more things I wonder about with RCA
I have allways love this song by Elvis, even now on this 60s masters box set,

A BEAUTIFUL SONG INDEED CURTIS!!! :worthy:
This is one of those songs, though in my opinion, that I thought Elvis did better live than in the studio. He just seemed to inject more passion into it, when he performed it live....just my opinion, though!! Although I certainly agree with you that the studio version is indeed very beautiful...one of the best ballads he ever recorded!
As for your question about when Elvis first started performing I'LL REMEMBER YOU, I believe it was when Elvis opened his Vegas engagement in January, 1972 (from the import CD OPENING NIGHT '72). As for when Elvis performed it for the last time, the latest performance I can find is from 5/3/76 in Lake Tahoe (from the import CD A CRAZY SHOW AT LAKE TAHOE). I don't know of any performances of this song from later than 5/3/76.
Hope this helps you out Curtis! (h)

i agree with all of you guys...'I'll remember you' from the 60s master is a masterpiece.....but i also enjoy the live version of it, especially the one from Aloha From Hawaii it was touching since elvis dedicated to the man (Kuiokalani Lee) who wrote the song ... does anybody ever heard the original version of 'I'll remember you' ? ..
No buttonhead, I've never heard the original version...but it certainly would be interesting to hear it, to see how close/different Elvis' version is!

Gorgeous song.
Unlike some of Elvis' other love ballads, this is not the least bit sugary or cliched. In fact, it's very haunting. On the strength of this song, Kui Lee knew his stuff. Elvis' wisdom in selecting it should also not be overlooked.
Agree with you all, it's a great song. I do prefer the Aloha versions though. When he comes in after the slight break in tempo with 'I will reeee-member you' it's wonderful emotive singing.
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. While it is beautifully sung from start to finish in Aloha, that part is a little too histrionic for me. That's not to say I don't enjoy it very much (because I do) - but the more restrained vocal of the studio cut, in my opinion, better serves the texture of the song.
Maybe it has something to do with me knowing the Aloha version for about 15 years before I heard the studio cut.
Yeh the live Aloha version is much better. It is sung with genuine feeling considering his personal life at the time. I also prefer the orchestra in the live version than the acoustic guitar in the studio version.
I do like how Elvis sings it straight without fooling around. This is true of the other songs that seemed to express his feelings at the time ("It's Over", "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "What Now My Love").
I think the studio version is much more haunting....I love it! A very chilling song and I agree with you guys....I'll never understand why they edited it in the first place.

Full Title: Perinatal Periods of Risk Analyses: Using Data to Mobilize the Community and to Guide Prevention and Intervention Strategies
Susan M. Wolfe, Ph.D.
CEO, Susan Wolfe and Associates, LLC
Nobody wants to read, hear, or think about babies dying. Yet, in the United States, the estimated infant mortality rate for 2011 is 6.06 per 1,000 births. In comparison, the infant mortality rate in Japan is 2.78, in the Czech Republic it is 3.73, and in the United Kingdom it is 4.62 per 1,000 babies born.1 These rates are not the same for everyone in the United States and there are large disparities in racial and ethnic groups, with rates for Black infants more than twice those of White infants.
Perinatal Periods of Risk (PPOR) is an analytic framework that provides urban communities with valuable tools to investigate and develop prevention and intervention strategies to combat feto-infant mortality and other adverse birth outcomes.2 This framework uses a 2-phase approach. Phase 1 estimates the excess mortality for specific groups compared to a reference group with optimal outcomes. Phase 2 consists of a more in-depth community investigation of risk and preventive factors that contribute to the excess mortality rates. I recently had the opportunity to participate in Phase 1 of this process in one community and Phase 2 in another, and I am continuing participation in efforts to engage and mobilize the communities to address the identified disparities.
During Phase I analyses are performed to determine at which stage the rates are highest using the framework presented below. Each cell in this model represents a different age of infant and birth weight, and each is associated with different implications for prevention and/or intervention. For example, the "Maternal Care" cell consists of infants that weighed at least 1500 grams that died prior to birth. Intervention to reduce this rate would focus on prenatal care.
(24 + weeks)
(0-27 days)
Post Neonatal
(28 + days)
500-1499 grams
Maternal Health/Prematurity
1500 + grams
Maternal Care
Newborn Care
Infant Health
We recently presented the rates for each of these periods and birth weights at a community forum with approximately 300 social service, education, and health care professionals in the audience.3 The audience size was approximately the same number as the total number of potentially preventable infant deaths during a five year period. When the speaker asked everyone to stand and look around, and then pointed out that the number of infants that died unnecessarily was the same as the number of people standing in the room, the data were humanized. Each loss of life is not just a single infant, but a loss of potential talent and of potential significant contributions to society. The follow-up to this presentation is a scheduled meeting to engage community based organizations to begin developing community wide strategies to address these disparities.
I attended another forum in a different community a few days later where results of Phase 2 analyses were presented, pointing out the specific maternal and social factors that predicted very low birth weight (which is associated with infant mortality). They included race (Black), low maternal education, inadequate prenatal care, previous preterm birth, previous infant death, and maternal chronic health conditions. When analyses were performed specifically for Black women, community economic disadvantage was also a predictor, although marginally.4 In this community, these data are being used to develop a Local Health Systems Action Plan specifically targeting infant mortality, low birth weight and very low birth weight. A community wide consortium is in place to facilitate implementation of this plan.
These are examples of how data can be presented to communities to mobilize them and to guide their actions. Phase 1 data were useful in demonstrating that there is a problem, and specifically where that problem resides. Phase 2 provided the detailed information needed to show the community where to start to target prevention and interventions. The level of the data speaks not only to individual interventions, but suggests avenues for more systemic changes, such as improving access to prenatal care and developing strategies to reduce community economic disadvantage.
ADDENDUM: An hour after I wrote and submitted this blog I learned that the State of Texas issued a request for applications for communities to utilize PPOR data to develop or enhance local coalitions to implement evidence-based interventions to reduce the incidence of preterm birth and infant mortality.

For the last year and a half I've been commuting to the east coast for work. Traveling from Albuquerque Sunday and getting home midnight Friday limited what I could do on my time. I finally pissed someone off enough so that the client didn't renew my contract. My new assignment is in Las Vegas. I'm thinking travel Monday morning, home late afternoon Friday. Which means I can start making trips to Arroyo again. I doubt that I will ever race again and will just stick to trackdays (there are some things that MO is right about!).
Last Thanksgiving I aggravated an old back injury which has left my right leg a little weaker. I sold my heavy street bike and listed my race parts in the BadWeb classifieds and put a link to it in the classifieds here. I'll sell the Buell once I get it back together in street trim. But now I need a real light weight bike.
The new bike is more suited to Sandia. I'm building one of those super singles that was hyped up a few years ago. I'll pick up my new WR450 this week. I traded my old WR450 mainly because the new ones have fuel injection, and still have electric start. I have an extra 1125 front end with mag wheel. As soon as I get the new bike home the triple tree gets sent to GPTech for a new stem. Ohlins supplies the shock and I believe Traxxion Dynamics will setup the Buell forks for a lighter bike. GPTech already has the setbacks and rear wheel. I think the best looking bodywork is from Catalyst, but the TZ250 doesn't look bad either.
I know people will say it's foolish to waste money on a project like this, but I'm 62 now and thinking about what kind of bike I'll want to track ride in the future. At least it will be a good excuse to start returning to Arroyo again.

Bookkeeping Basics, Part 2: How to Set Up and Manage Accounts Receivable
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: August 26, 2013, 7:30 am
- Updated: August 26, 2013, 7:40 am
If you're new to business or are out-growing your current spreadsheet-based accounting system, it might be time to look at establishing a more formalized accounts receivable process. In part one of this two-part series on bookkeeping basics, I covered the steps you need to take to set-up and manage accounts payable (i.e. the bills you need to pay) and using it as a tool to help you manage cash flow and inform your overall budgeting management process. As a new business owner, whether you are a freelancer or multi-employee company, it's equally important to keep track of who owes you money!
A professionally managed accounts payable system not only ensures you can track and manage what you are owed, who has paid you and what's outstanding; it will also give your business a professional image and ensure your figures are in order when it comes to tax season.
Here are some tips for setting up a workable accounts receivable system that will streamline your billing and receipts.
Setting Up Your System
Whether you are using a traditional spreadsheet or an online accounting program such as QuickBooks, Outright, or Expensify, you'll need to start collating all your open invoices and balances. You may also want to integrate your time sheet into the same system – certain software lets you streamline the process by auto-generating invoices from electronic timesheets. Automating the entire billing system is another option – if you are generating more than 5-10 invoices a week, then it may be worth looking into. Read this blog for tips: Going Beyond the Spreadsheet – Automate Your Billing Process with Online Software.
Establishing Your Terms of Payment
Each piece of work you undertake is likely to be different – if you're an independent contractor, your hourly rate may vary, and perhaps you charge one project by the hour but others for a single project fee. You may also have a regular set of clients whom you invoice or it may change from month to month.
All of these variables will impact the structure of your accounts receivable. So it's important that both you and your client are in agreement as to how often they will be billed and the schedule for payment. Some clients may insist on 30 days; others may be more favorable to paying you in 15 days. So establish these ground rules in your contract and be sure to include a reminder in your invoices and as a note in your receivables system.
Invoicing Like a Pro
Use your invoice wisely. The goal is to give the client enough information for them to be able to approve and process it quickly. It's likely that the invoice will need to be rubber-stamped by more than one person – usually your point of contact for the work, as well as accounting and even the CFO or business owner. Have a clean, professional template that includes your logo and other business information. State your payment terms clearly and be specific. For example "Payment due in 30 days" is less vague than "Due upon receipt." Include the hours worked (and the hourly rate as a reminder) and the specifics of your service. If the project is ongoing, break down what portion you are billing for this month.
If you are an independent contractor, state clearly who the payment should be made to – especially if you operate under a "Doing Business As" or trade name, but retain a bank account in your own name – you want to ensure the check is written to you.
If you incurred any expenses that are billable to the client (and pre-approved as such) also include these as separate line items.
Collecting Passed Due Invoices
Like death and taxes, not getting paid on time is inevitable, so be prepared for this. There's often a valid reason for non-payment. The invoice could have been misplaced, or the client needs to iron out some kinks with their purchase order system – who knows!
If the invoice is only a few days past due, reach out to your client contact with a gentle reminder. Ask them if they actually received the invoice and if they have any questions about it. Your goal here is to get a confirmation that you'll receive payment by X date, so that you can manage and plan your cash flow accordingly. So keep plugging away till you get this assurance. Remind them of your agreed payment terms and ask if you can speak to accounting if you're not getting the answers you need.
If matters don't get resolved, SBA guest blogger Barbara Weltman offers some additional collection and tax write-off strategies here: Getting Stiffed: What Can you Do?
In addition, if a client starts to become a repeat problem, tackle the issue head-on with a meeting to review matters. Try to be as flexible and courteous as you can as you work towards resolution; it could be a simple resolution such as shifting your invoicing to the middle of the month.
When it's Time to Get Help
According to a 2009 survey by finance systems specialists, CODA, 25 percent of small and medium businesses estimate that at least $5,000 a month in income is delayed due to invoicing errors, with 17 percent seeing payments amounting to $50,000 delayed due to invoicing errors.
While you want to ensure you are keeping an eye on your receivables, if you are spending too much time in the weeds billing clients, what are your options?
Well, a bookkeeper can help you keep your records straight, or an accounts receivable can help you handle billing and collections so that you don't have to. An attorney or legal advisor is a good resource to have lined up in advance, should clients not pay up on time. If you have an accountant, seek out their advice on the best options for your business as well as your long term financial health. You can also get free advice and mentoring on accounting processes from organizations like SCORE.

good A/R system is cash flow. Without knowing the increases or decreases in
periodic A/R, it is impossible to identify the flow of cash. The same is true

Narrowed and hardened arteries-atherosclerosis-are a common risk associated with type 1 diabetes. Fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up to create plaque, which narrows the arteries and makes blood flow more difficult. The increased risk of blood clots often leads to heart attacks and strokes.
Now a University of Chicago study shows that transplanting pancreatic islets to type 1s significantly reduces carotid artery thickness, lowering both A1c levels and the attendant risk of atherosclerosis. (The carotid arteries are the major vessels that carry blood to and from the head.)
The transplanted islets include insulin-producing beta cells, which in type 1s have been destroyed by an autoimmune attack. By giving transplant recipients some insulin-producing ability, the islets allow them to lower their A1c levels, which researchers say leads to reduced carotid artery thickness.
The University of Chicago research team led by Kristie K. Danielson, PhD, studied 15 type 1 patients who underwent transplant surgeries. Twelve months after the surgery, the thickness of the patients' carotid arteries decreased by an average 0.058 mm. The decrease in thickness continued in some cases for up to 50 months.
Researchers think that the re-introduction of insulin-making capability in the type 1 patients reduced inflammation by lowering blood sugar levels, leading to less stress on their arteries. However, they did not suggest that islet transplantation either directly prevented or reduced atherosclerosis.
Islet transplantation, in which still-functioning pancreatic beta cells are taken from cadavers, is one of the most assertive approaches to treating type 1 diabetes. The procedure is costly, due to its complexity, the lack of an abundant supply of donors, and the need for recipients to take immune system-suppressing drugs to avert rejection of the transplanted cells.

After injury, Foreman eases back into boxing with win
NEW YORK — A few hundred fans turned out for Yuri Foreman's comeback fight Wednesday at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in Times Square, a six-round, unanimous-decision win over someone named Brandon Baue that amounted to little more than a workout for a former champion easing back into boxing after 22 months away.
The turnout was a far cry from the more than 20,000 that flocked to Yankee Stadium the last time Foreman fought in New York in June 2010. That night, Foreman — then undefeated and the WBA junior welterweight champion — lost his title to Miguel Cotto after suffering a knee injury that would require major reconstructive surgery.
A native of Belarus who relocated to Park Slope several years ago, Foreman brought a lot to that promotion. He was an undefeated titleholder with a fascinating second life — he's an Orthodox rabbi-in-training — who was said to be the first Jewish world champion since the 1930s. Foreman's unique backstory helped make the Yankee Stadium fight HBO's highest-rated non-pay-per-view event of 2010.
Yet a hasty return from ACL surgery contributed to a demoralizing sixth-round stoppage loss to Pawel Wolak in March 2011. (That a heavy-handed swarmer like Wolak was chosen for Foreman's first opponent after a major knee procedure speaks to matchmaking that can only be described as negligent.) Foreman then retired — or at least thought awfully hard about it. Either way, he'd been out of the ring for nearly two years until Wednesday's fight.
Foreman entered the ring in black trunks with gold lettering — and, notably, no knee brace. By his side was Joe Grier, the longtime trainer with whom he'd split and since reunited. Elusive as always, he pawed his way through the first three rounds against a limited opponent, picking up the pace marginally in the later rounds, occasionally putting combinations of punches together. Baue landed shots but never came close to winning a round.
"More nervous than usual," Foreman said of his return. "I was just happy to shed some of the rust and get some rounds in."
All three judges scored it 60-54, lifting Foreman's pro ledger to 29 wins in 31 fights. Afterward, Foreman discussed his recent signing with Lou DiBella, who promoted Wednesday's show. When current 154-pound titleholders Austin Trout and Canelo Alvarez were brought up, Foreman seemed enthused about the prospect of facing them within the next two years.
Yet Wednesday's first step served only one practical purpose — eradicating the specter of injury — and to that end it was a success.
"The knee is out of my head," he said.

I just checked and while I do get MeTv, it looks like they don't show He-Man in my area. I checked my guide and it says Paid Programming.
Sorry if there's already a thread; I saw the QUBO thread, but I don't get that network...
Anyhoo, saw that it will be on in...about 3 and a half hours on MeTV...I won't be awake to see it, but if any of you are, or can DVR it, good for you!!!
Happy watching,

Found out today about it. I don't watch that channel often as it's either paid programming or religious shows. But I'm willing to watch She-ra (I haven't watched it in 3 days) at 7am. But they should make Metv into a channel full of classic cartoons to replace the religious shows (I'm not athiest or anything like that, but why do I get the feeling some of the money that they tell you to give to the people of those countries doesn't really go to them?).
Surely this is addressed elsewhere, but here's the info that I have.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and She-ra Princess of Power
are scheduled to be shown on channel 311, MeTV via Comcast Cable at least in Houston, Texas
Saturdays at 5:00 AM. Two 30 minute episodes each.

I run the Big Joe Duskin Music Education Foundation in Cincinnati. Our only mission is to pay musicians to perform in public elementary schools to encourage children to join their school band. See www.BigJoeDuskin.org for full details. I'm also trying to get King Recording Studio legend Philip Paul inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He was drummer on all of Freddy King's hits, including "Hideaway" and "Tore Down". He also created the Afro-Caribbean beat for "The Twist" and was on the original recording by Hank Ballard and The Midnighters. Freddy and The Midnighters are being inducted April, 14, 2012. Philip deserves to be inducted with them. More info on Philip's latest adventure, The Philip Paul Power Trio, is available at www.PhilipPaulPowerTrio.com. Yes, I think they would be an AWESOME opening band for ZZ Top (hint hint...). Thanks for allowing this post !!!

Patti's current job is as an Assistant Trauma Coordinator at Sharp Memorial Hospital.
Instructional Objective The learner will be able to match acceptable treatments, in sequence, for Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib), Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) and Asystole, as outlined by the American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
* The deck consists of 41 cards. There are 35 playable cards. Six additional cards: 2 titled V-Fib , 2 titled V-Tach and 2 titled Asystole.
* Remove the six cards worded V-Fib, V-Tach and Asystole. These are the cards in which you will initiate and treat the arrythmias.
* It may be necessary to refer to the ACLS manual while playing this game.
For one player: (Follows a solitaire structure)
1. Take three of the cards each worded V-Fib, V-Tach and Asystole and place in a row face up on the table in front of you. (The remaining 3 worded cards may be put away, as they are used for team playing).
2. Shuffle the remaining deck of cards.
3. With the deck to the side begin by dealing out every third card and placing it face up.
4. If that card fits into the sequence of acceptable treatments for any of the three arrythmias in front of you, then you play that card for that arrythmia. It must be in sequence! For example: For V-Fib you could not play the card that says Epinephrine 1:100,000 0.5-1.0mg IV P, if you did not have already on the table under V-Fib the card that states establish I. V. access, since we know that without an IV you cannot give IV drugs. This holds true for all the treatments for all the arrythmias.....They must be sequential!
5. If the third card turned face up is able to be played in sequence for any of the arrythmias, then proceed with the second and first card respectively.
6. After you've gone through the original deck, begin to deal out from the discarded stack. Do not shuffle these cards.
7. The game continues until you've completed all treatments for the arrythmias; or you're unable to complete the arrythmias with the cards you're turning up. (In other words.....you lost).
For Team playing Read through the one player rules, as they are applicable to team rules. The exceptions are:
* With teams you use all six worded cards, V-Fib, V-Tach, Asystole (each team has three cards).
* Each team takes a turn dealing out three cards and playing the arrythmia.
* The team that completes the arrythmias first wins the game.
1. Arrythmia cards - There are six of these cards, and they are color coded different from the remaining 35 cards for easy recognition when beginning the game.
Face up is written V-fib, V-tach, Asystole, with a graphic of the corresponding arrythmia.
Face down all cards have the same logo, checkered background with a normal heartbeat through the center.
2. Procedure cards- There are a total of 22 these cards. They consist of the following:
a. CPR cards (3)- Face up text reads CPR with hands on the chest.
b. IV access cards (4)- Face up text reads IV showing IV solution.
c. Defribillate cards (8)- Face up text reads Defribillate and the joules used.
d. Cardiovert cards (4)- Face up text reads Cardiovert and the joules used.
e. Intubate cards (2)- Face up text reads airway, graphic of a face.
3. Medication cards- There are a total of 13 cards.
Face up the cards have the medication written, the dosage, and the access. It is important to read each card carefully before playing, as the medication may be the same but the dosage varies. Also remember in your treatments, that oxygen is considered a medication.
Using the Manual provided by ACLS is necessary to assure that proper sequence is followed. Incorporating that sequence into the actual card itself would make it visually unaesthetic. For this card game, it is better that the manual be a resource for those playing.
In evaluating the game itself, four nurses who have taken ACLS in the past were asked to follow the instructions and play the game. (It is fair to state that they had all played solitaire, so therefore were able to follow the rules). The consensus was that the structure and the procedure worked well, but unless played in a team it seemed to lack a "fun" property. They even suggested a double deck that could be played in a "Double Solitaire", with teams actually competing with one another.

Very practical (and lasting)basic set, for pro techncians as well as for musicians.
Straight edge is very good and great to stand it up on its edge for truing the neck or setting action with feeler gauges and the narrow edge to check other flat surfaces. Much easier than using a metal ruler. Under string gauges, very easy to use. String action gauge, I thought this was the token tool when I purchase the kit. But I was happy to be wrong, so much easier than a ruler for action and pickups. I only work on my 4 guitars and the money spent on the kit makes my hobby work much easier.
I know , you say I can do a setup without this kit .Yes you can . But, time is money in a shop. It saves time and eliminates some guesswork . Indespensable to a pro repairman . Kudos to Stew-Mac .
A friend of mine (a pro luthier) suggested to try the basic setup kit just to keep my guitars in shape and ready to gig every day and after every change of season. A must have for pro guitar players (like me), for amateurs and students too. Thank you StewMac!
I am astounded at the many immediate uses I found, as well as the dramatic improvements in the ease / quality of my work!
I have been setting up guitars since 1990 in the good all fashion way, but with the set up kit it's faster.
This is the perfect kit to adjust your strings action, your neck and the radius,easy to use. Don't need more. Get one.
great set up kit!
i love it!!
Now I don't have to pay my tech to set up my guitars. I have all the tools I need to do it myself. Highest quality tools made of high quality materials.
I'm a drummer.....and you know what that means...If I can use these things then any body could use them.
All joking aside. These tools seem swiss built. Super straight and accurate. The 18" straight edge is thick and can't be bent. Once i figured out the way to use them I set all six of my babies.
One thing to keep in mind.
These things aren't magic. One only increases their functions with use.

There is nothing wrong with using DBMS_IJOB package as Paul suggested. It saves a lot of time if the job is in another schema.
Max Seleznev wrote:Being fired after a disciplinary because you've opened a security hole that was exploited, is a lot worse... don't you think? ;-)
That's a pretty strong wording.
Nowhere in OP post or in the reply it says that any privileges have to be granted to anyone. There is a good chance OP already has DBA privileges or can connect as sys.It is about security principles. Neither you or Paul mentioned the security issues that goes with using this system package. Someone (even the OP perhaps) is bound to interpret this as being a kewl package to use, better that just plain old DBMS_JOB, and then proceed to create and open barn doors in the security of that database. Not realising the implications of exposing system packages to user land applications and code.
Besides there're situations when one has no other choice than to use DBMS_IJOB package because of its unique functionality.That is why one write wrappers - to provide this type of functionality, but in a secure and controlled fashion.

Private Rooms
Housing does not guarantee private rooms upon request. All students requesting
housing must be assigned and the initial room change process completed before private rooms are offered.
A private room contract will be issued to all residents living alone on the first Friday of each term, regardless of the circumstances that caused the single occupancy. The contract offers two options: (1) Pay an additional fee to guarantee the private room for the semester only, (2) Reassignment to a new room with a roommate or have a roommate move into your room.
Upon receiving the contract, the resident must respond immediately either by accepting the private room charge or coming immediately to the Housing Office for assistance in reassignment with a roommate. Failure to follow this process will result in an automatic charge for the private room.

Gartner Explains Why Windows Is Broken
Two Gartner analysts said the words that enterprises dread, and that will move alternate operating system proponents to tears of joy: "Windows as we know it needs to be replaced."
Wed, April 09, 2008
CIO — In a session at the Gartner Emerging Trends conference today, analysts Neil MacDonald and Michael Silver identified many reasons that Windows (and thus Microsoft) are in trouble.
Microsoft's operating system (OS) development times are too long and they deliver limited innovation; their OSs provide an inconsistent experience between platforms, with significant compatibility issues; and other vendors are out-innovating Microsoft . That gives enterprises unpredictable releases with limited value, management costs that are too high, and new releases that break too many apps and take too long to test and adopt. With end users bringing their own software solutions into the office...well, it's just a heck of a sad story for Microsoft.
Those arguments probably don't surprise you. (See Should Microsoft Throw Away Vista? and Vista Never Had Its Moment in 2007.) But the Gartner analysts offered several more points to show how Windows is in a whole new world of hurt. High on the list is Windows' complexity, its lack of modularity, its hardware footprint (particularly on low-end PCs) and the increasing movement to Web-based and other OS-agnostic applications.
A few of their arguments:
Mature markets have limited growth in terms of PC hardware. The computer hardware business is expected to grow only 2 percent to 8 percent between 2005 and 2011. The opportunities for PCs are higher in emerging markets, where the growth rate is 16 percent to 24 percent for PC hardware—but they're more price-sensitive so vendors and enterprises have to keep the price down. That means less memory and storage, for example—and Vista is not appropriate for that sort of memory model. Linux is the preferred OS on low-end PCs including "one laptop per child" and certainly Microsoft doesn't want to see that happen. "All these things are in opposition to what we've seen with people expanding PC use year after year," MacDonald said.
Version compatibility is relevant in more than software development terms. For example, they said, iPhone's version of OS X is closer to the desktop version of the Mac OS than Windows Mobile is to Vista.
Servers are evolving in multiple and sometimes conflicting directions. Some industry trends imply that we need to scale up computing, such as single instance data stores and partitioning. Others are driving it down, such as grid and cloud computing, server farms and cluster computing. The result, they believe, is that enterprises will want to customize the OS based on the need.

Nick v Nigel
The real question at stake in this May's European elections is: should Britain be in or out of the European Union? The Liberal Democrats are the party of IN – the only party prepared to unambiguously make the case that Britain is better off in the EU.
But UKIP want to take Britain OUT of Europe, which would wreck our recovery and put 3 million British jobs at risk.
Nick believes it's time to take UKIP head on in a debate. We need to stop them risking all those jobs and wrecking the economic recovery.
So, the first ever debate between two party leaders on whether we should be IN or OUT of Europe took place on Wednesday 26 March from 7-8pm. You can watch it here:

In Minneapolis, I assume you get considerable snow. You need to to terminate your vent above expected snow levels.
I am venting my 3'/5' concentric vents horizontally for my new tankless. I admit I was an idiot for doing this, but I already cut the hole in my basement wall, and purchased the horizontal vent kit, but it turns out that the vent now terminates halfway below ground level. Is there any way to make this ok, without having to cut a new hole? I could dig a little hole for it like a window well, and install drainage tiles to ensure it doesn't fill up with water (my house is uphill). Another, more expensive option would be to buy more sections of vents and run them up the exterior of my wall then out away from the house with the 4 degree slope.
Are either of these solutions viable or did I screw myself when I made that hole?
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
In Minneapolis, I assume you get considerable snow. You need to to terminate your vent above expected snow levels.
I have also discovered that once I go horizontal, I am not allowed to go vertical after that.
Guess I am going to have to make a new hole and patch up the old one...
Even with sealed-combustion units you can't safely vent them into snow. With high levels of combustion exhaust contaminant in the intake air combustion air has lower & lower oxygen levels, and starts putting out copious quantities of carbon monoxide as it becomes buried in snow before the burner controls detect an error condition. This isn't merely theoretical- people have died from this with condensing boilers buried/partially buried in snowdrift. While with hot water heaters it's less likely to kill, given the intermittency of hot water draws, it still should be taken very seriously.
It seems it would be really hard to put it high enough that snow levels reaching it would be an impossibility. Could this potentially fatal situation be averted with a carbon monoxide detector near the water heater?
Maybe,maybe not, but it would still be a code violation in most places, and as the installer you'd be liable for anything that happened.
It's just not worth going there- do you really want to be the guy telling the emergency services (while you're all standing out in the snow freezing your butts off while airing the house out), "The CO alarm went off, and hey, it didn't actually KILL anybody!" ???

Fairfax Homeowners to Pay More in Real Estate Taxes
Jim Daniels April 24, 2014 at 12:28 pm
The internet is forever Kim, if you want your views kept secret best not to post them on a public…Read More website :)....you are right I am a transplant from New York...I moved away from there when I was 1 year old...then moved from place to place as my father was transferred...finally ended up in a nice blue state in the Midwest! Never lived in Boston...but I was conceived there (was that TMI? :) )Came here for school, found what I liked in beautiful Fairfax County ...as I said top notch standard of living and have been here ever since. Oh...btw yes I have sold houses here in Fairfax County...three times as a matter of fact...once in January...took three days! But now that spring has sprung we can all look forward to standing at the border between here and whichever county you decide to go to...waving you a fond farewell!!! So you aren't going to vote? Great news...usually I encourage people to vote no matter who they vote for...but for you I'll make an exception... Why do you hate America so much Kim?
Kim McCoy April 24, 2014 at 02:32 pm
Jim, I think I said it once in this thread already, but it seems to bear repeating. Reading…Read More comprehension is a problem for liberals...in case you missed it, I said "I have decide to reflect on whether it is in my country's best interest to cede more ground to people like you by removing my vote from this county (at least until after the November elections!)"...I will translate into more elementary terms for you. I'm going to VOTE HERE in November. I stand behind ever post I've ever posted here on the Patch, it just seems a little creepy that you (or your cohorts) feel the need to OBFUSCATE so often...how much was it again that you pay in county taxes, Jim?
Jim Daniels April 24, 2014 at 02:49 pm
Oh...well too bad Kim...you speak so obliquely it's not always easy to keep up with you. So you will…Read More be voting for the losing side again this November here in Fairfax County...but then you are out of here right? I mean that will make it over a year since your initial promise. Doubts will clearly settle in as to whether or not your were truly serious! Oh yes...I do have an accomplice...he goes by the name of Google!! And my taxes? Well, like any good citizen of this fine county I pay what I owe! BTW, what's the name of the small business you own...maybe I could toss some clients your way... :)

Any good contractor knows that you have to tear down the old before you can build the new. Problem is that the new that the left wants to build HAS NEVER, AND NEVER WILL SUCCEED. It has been tried before, and the sin always corrupts from the inside out. I know that the traditional, patriot like myself will never succeed against the lust of evil that has taken over the lifestyles of America. The Holy Bible tells us that we will be persecuted for his name sake, that their will be a great falling away from the Church right before the end of the Church Age. In a strange way, I am excited about the deviancy you promote, because the mere fact that it is being accepted is proof positive that the Rapture is imminent. You keep referring to the end of outlawing mixed race marriages like it somehow pertains to the deviant unions you seem to want. Mixed marriages between black and white people were not outlawed in the Bible, only between different races that practiced pagan religions, because they would draw the children of Israel away from the one true God. The lure of deviancy is strong, homosexual prostitutes would practice their trade on the temple steps of the pagans. They would burn their babies alive in a sacrifice to Baal. Seeing mass groups of people doing these deviant acts somehow convinces the masses that it is acceptable. The homosexual community is using the same tactics that the worshipers of Baal used. Just as you think you are winning, God will pull the rug out from under you. Come to Jesus while you still can. He can heal your sickness.

Natassia, not all LGBT want to eliminate or "fundamentally destroy" the institution of…Read More marriage. You really can't lump all homosexuals together, just as you can't lump all heterosexuals together. I know lesbian and gay couples who are married and treasure the institution of marriage. I also know heterosexual couples who are not married and don't believe in marriage. Recognizing the rights of LGBT people to marry, with all the rights and responsibilities thereof, does not equate with destroying marriage any more than interracial marriages have destroyed it. From a religious perspective, each person and each church/denomination can and should decide whether to recognize and/or perform such marriages. I personally believe God does not condemn LGBT unions. From a legal perspective, I have yet to hear a good argument against same-sex marriages.
ASPCA Applauds Local Lawmakers' Efforts to Protect Animals
Randy Janssen April 10, 2014 at 07:18 am
The ASPCA is not your local volunteer animal shelter. The ASPCA has been hijacked by radical animal…Read More rights activist. It is an over one hundred fifty million dollar corporation that spends almost every dime it gets on obscene salaries and filing lawsuits. It raises money by showing ads of cute dogs and cats, but it spends less then 10% to feed and shelter cats and dogs. Real animal shelters complain that the ASPCA gets the money they need to feed and shelter cats and dogs. The ASPCA spends money on the vegan activist group Mercy and for advertisements to make more money. The ASPCA has been found guilty of racketeering in Florida. The ASPCA says it wants to protect horses, but it support show jumping, one of the most dangerous things you can do to those animals. THE ASPCA IS AGAINST RODEO AND WESTERN TRADITIONS. The ASPCA IS FOR A VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE AND AGAINST EATTING MEAT. The ASPCA wants to change our eating habits and standard of living by outlawing farming methods that are used on family farms. The ASPCA is bad for America so don't applaud its lackeys. If you want to support something, think about giving to the child fund, St. Jude, the Wounded Warriors, or you local food bank. If you want to help animals, give money to you local animal shelter. Giving money to the ASPCA is giving money to a bloated bureaucracy that waste it on salaries and litigation. It claims to do good but if you really look at what it does, it only piggybacks on the work of local organizations.

I have a lawn mower, chain saw and other yard items that use gasoline that don't use the roads. It did not make sense for me to pay extra for my hybrid because I get 30 MPG and others only get 18 MPG. We pay taxes on tires that support the roads also. Oil Changes too. I'll bet also for the weight of my Hybrid, I pay a certain tax also. I really felt it was to pay for the use of HOV lanes and one had to have a special license plate to use those lanes, I don't have those plates and still had to pay. I had figured it was the cost of living in a modern world. If you want Modern, you must pay according for being Modern. My Hybrid, I must admit, is the only real modern thing I own.

Barbara...are you kidding me with those citations, right?....Frank S. Myers, a First-Class…Read More Postmaster in Portland, Oregon, was removed from office by President Woodrow Wilson. An 1876 federal law provided that "Postmasters of the first, second, and third classes shall be appointed and may be removed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate." Myers argued that his dismissal violated this law, and he was entitled to back pay for the unfilled portion of his four-year term......You are equating the removal of a postmaster by the President to the Attorney General of the United States telling state AGs not to defend laws they don't like?....WOW, that's stretching it don't you think?...and of course, it had to involve the most socialistic former President this country has ever had the displeasure of electing (except for the current one, of course)Then you site a tax judge appointment ruling. BUT THE ONE THAT REALLY GETS ME is the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer case...Justice Black wrote for the majority, although the number of divergent concurring opinions made it clear that he did not necessarily speak for it. Black took, as he often did, an absolutist view, holding that THE PRESIDENT HAD NO POWER to act except in those cases expressly or implicitly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress...Keep trying to justify the unlawfulness of this and I'll keep holding the rule of law at the ready. Maybe you should actually READ the opinions next time.

Side note on Woodrow Wilson. Once he took office, his own paranoia and love of power turned him into…Read More a tyrant. He was responsible for the Sedition Act, which Chris Hedges has cited as ending real progressive politics in the USA as we know it. Wilson locked up many of those who were his supporters a mere year earlier (when he won election against a split Republican ticket by lying to the American people that he would not enter WWI when he already had plans drafted to do so). Hedges has also compared Obama's paranoia and use of EO's, the drones, the NSA stuff, etc. to Wilson. So someone may be a "liberal" in words and maybe even private thoughts. Once they take office, it can be a different story, but one nobody wants to see clearly. Wielding universal power to accomplish that which many may agree with is not "liberal" nor "progressive." Nor is it the right thing to do.

FDA Approves Implanon
FDA Approves Long-Term, Reversible Birth Control Method; Planned Parenthood Clinicians Will Be Trained This October to Provide Implanon
NEW YORK CITY Following today's approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Implanon, a new implantable hormonal contraceptive for women, Planned Parenthood announced the launch of a nationwide program to train clinicians to provide the new birth control method.
"This method is great news for women who want long-term, reversible birth control and the freedom of not having to remember a pill every day," said Planned Parenthood Federation of America Vice President for Medical Affairs Vanessa Cullins, MD, MPH. "Planned Parenthood applauds this addition to the array of contraceptive choices for women. Clinicians in our health centers across the country will be trained to provide the new method and soon will start offering Implanon."
Implanon is a thin, matchstick-sized rod, called an implant. It is made of soft, plastic-like material and contains progestin. It is inserted beneath the skin of the arm and a very small amount of the hormone is released continuously to prevent pregnancy. It is effective for up to three years.
"Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas (PPHSET) is excited about this new birth control option that we will soon offer our clients," said Dr. Paul Fine, medical director for PPHSET. "Implanon is a safe and effective birth control method for women throughout their reproductive lives. Implanon will enable women to prevent unintended pregnancy, to plan and space wanted pregnancies, or to provide reversible, long-term contraception as part of their basic health care."
Beginning in October, 85 Planned Parenthood affiliates will be trained in insertion and removal of the hormonal implant through an Organon-sponsored training program. Subsequent trainings will be held for the remaining affiliates in the winter. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 860 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year.

Hi everyone I have been saving up for an Iphone for a while. I cant afford an O2 contract so unlocking and using my Vodafone sim is the only option for me. I do have some worries and I hope someone can help me out with these questions.
1. I understand that unlocking will void the warranty so how reliable is the hardware? Am I taking a huge gamble?
2. I think it can use Vodafone GPRS but can I control the connection so I dont end up with a large data bill? Can I make sure it only checks email when I ask it to?
3. Will the battery last at least two days if I turn off BT and WIFI and use the phone very little?
4. Is it the right time to buy an iphone? If a 3g version is due in June will the current version see a price drop? Or will the 8gb be dropped and the 16gb be the same price as an 8gb? I'm in the UK so maybe the 3g version wont turn up here until November?
5. Could you also state your recommendation for an unlock method, I'm currently leaning towards iliberty+ but I'm worried about the reports of wifi problems.
Thanks guys!

Handbook of Magnetic MaterialsEdited by
- K.H.J. Buschow
Volume 20 of the Handbook of Magnetic Materials, as the preceding volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to help those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism research. To this dual purpose, Volume 20 is composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides readers with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

- About Deakin
Not-For-Profit (NFP) organisations and charitable bodies in Australia provide vital social and environmental support services in key areas such as community care, emergency response services, child welfare and protection, homelessness, social inclusion, mental health, addiction support, disability and aged care, animal welfare and environmental and heritage protection.
These organisations represent a unique organisational model in that they are often staffed and supported by volunteers who give their time freely and generously, demonstrating a passionate commitment to their chosen cause and are dependent upon self-generated income and public donations to fund their invaluable activities. Just like conventional business organisations however, NFPs face significant challenges in rapidly evolving environments which demand new thinking and a fresh perspective.
In 2013, Deakin University presents an opportunity for these organisations to collaborate with high-calibre, multi-disciplinary postgraduate student teams in a 5-day intensive solutions-based workshop to gain new ideas and insights and explore innovative directions in relation to their key challenges and opportunities - the WOFIE initiative.
Are you eligible to enrol in MPI700 Postgraduate Internship as part of your studies? If so, you can apply to participate in the WOFIE program and, if accepted, also apply to enrol in MPI700. Successful completion of the WOFIE program and pre- and post-event assessment activities will mean that you can benefit in an industry-based learning event and complete a unit of study towards your qualification.
