Health insurance and retirement of married couples
AbstractMost health insurance in the USA is provided by employers until eligibility for public health insurance (Medicare) begins at age 65. Retiring before 65 exposes workers who lack retiree health insurance coverage to the risk of catastrophic medical expenditure. We solve and estimate a dynamic model of the employment behavior of older married couples that includes risky medical expenditure and health insurance. Parameter estimates imply that the risk-reducing feature of health insurance can account for about half of the observed association between retiree health insurance and employment for married men, but can account for only one tenth of the much larger observed association for married women. Policy simulations imply very small effects on employment of changing the age of eligibility for Medicare from 65 to 67. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

further comprising a rotational axle fashioned as a hollow member, and said static micromechanical structure comprises a stator, and said movable micromechanical structure comprises a rotor, and said means for connecting is formed by a further conductive layer that at least partially covers the surface of the rotational axle and is connected to the substrate through the hollow member and that at least partially covers the surface of the stator and is connected to a contact region in the substrate.
7. A micromechanical arrangement comprising:
a substrate;
a static micromechanical structure:
a movable micromechanical structure, said static and movable micromechanical structures formed from a layer applied on a top side of the substrate;
means for connecting the static structure to the substrate, said means for connecting formed of a fixing layer extending up vertically from the substrate into the static structure;
comprising a gearing, said static structure having a rotational axle fashioned as a hollow member, and said movable structure comprising a rotor; and comprising a layer as fixing layer that at least partially covers the surface of the rotational axle and is connected to the substrate through the hollow member.
The invention is directed to a micromechanical component part having a static micromechanical structure and a movable micromechanical structure; and to a method for the manufacture thereof.
There currently exists a great interest in processes that are compatible with the fabrication of integrated circuits, particularly of silicon, in the manufacture of micromechanical component parts for employment as actuators or sensors. A compatibility of manufacturing processes allows integration of micromechanics and drive circuits in microsystems. This is also important when existing semiconductor manufacturing systems are to be simultaneously utilized for the manufacture of micromechanical structures. Micromechanical component parts whose function is based on electrostatic attractive forces, such as between capacitor surfaces with variable spacing, are particularly suited for such microsystems, since a suitable combination of conductive and non-conductive layers, that are also utilized in integrated circuits, is thereby fundamentally adequate.
Such micromechanical component parts are composed of static and movable micromechanical structures; a typical applied example thereof is a motor (with rotational axle and stator as static and, respectively, with rotor as movable micromechanical structure) or a gearing (with rotational axle or, respectively, rotor).
The following problems must be solved in the manufacture of, for example, a motor:
Since the electrostatic forces decrease with increasing spacing, optimally small spacings between rotor and stator are desirable. This and the general mechanical tolerance demands require slight adjustment tolerances of the appertaining photo levels. Further, high-resolution lithography is important. Deriving therefrom as a further demand is an optimally far-reaching planarity of the surfaces during the manufacturing process. This is also of significance for the following process steps. Since the electrostatic forces and the torque of a micromotor increase with the area, the manufacturing process should allow an optimally great thickness of rotor and stator in the direction of the rotational axle (in a gearing without electrical connection, too, a large layer thickness is desirable in order to assure mechanical stability). A low specific resistance of the conductive material is also important for the low-loss function of the motor. In general, a process should be optimally simple and require few photo levels.
Among others, the following manufacturing processes are known:
a) Polysilicon Center-Pin Process (M. Mehrengany et al., J. Micromech. Microeng., Vol. 1, 73, 1991).
In the manufacture of the micromechanical structures, this process requires additional polysilicon depositions after the metallization complex following the manufacture of the integrated circuit. If the center-pin process is to be implemented before the metallization of the integrated circuit, the problem of etching the movable structures free arises and the problem of protecting the insulation of the metallization simultaneously arises. Four photolevels are required. The high topography steps over which the third and fourth mask level must be produced as well as the employment of doped polysilicon that comprises a specific resistance of approximately 2 mΩ cm and a practically realizable layer thickness of less than 5 μm, are disadvantageous.
b) Polysilicon Flange Process (M. Mehrengany, Y.--C. Tai, J. Micromech. Microeng., Vol. 1, 73, 1991).
This process is similar to process a), whereby, moreover, the second mask level must be produced over a topography step.
c) Polysilicon LOCOS Process (L. S. Tavrow et al, Sensors and Actuators A, 35 (1992) Page 33).
This process provides that the movable micromechanical structures be produced on a planar LOCOS oxide layer, whereby the oxidation step can only ensure before the transistor manufacture because of the temperature stress. Given a complete implementation of the process before the manufacture of the integrated circuit, an unfavorable topology for the following steps derives, as does the problem of protecting the micromechanical elements during the manufacture of the integrated circuit. Given manufacture meshed with one another, the problem of etching the rotor free given simultaneous protection of the circuit's insulating oxides must be resolved. A further disadvantage is the employment of six mask levels, some of these having to be generated over high topography steps.
d) Selective Tungsten Process (L. Y. Chen, N. C. MacDonald, TRANSDUCERS '91, International Conference on Solid-State Sensors and Actuators, San Francisco, 24-27 June 1991, IEEE Catalog No. 91CH2817-5, 739, 1991).
This process can be implemented following a circuit fabrication process, whereby the problem of contacting the motor and of protecting the metallization insulation is not resolved by the proposed method. Rotor and stator are in fact produced in the same mask level and the rotational axle is produced self-aligned relative thereto; the process, however, requires five mask levels, the third, fourth and fifth thereof having to be produced over high topography steps. High layer thicknesses of a highly conductive material can be produced by the deposition of tungsten in trenches.
The object of the invention is to create a micromechanical component part having high mechanical or, respectively, electrical loadability and reliability, as well as to specify a manufacturing method that is simple and is fully compatible with the fabrication of integrated circuits.
The invention is based thereon that movable and static micromechanical structures be produced of the same layer or multiple layer, i.e. for example in a motor, the rotational axle as well. The static structures are then connected to a substrate with the assistance of mechanical and/or electrical connecting means, whereby the connecting means are formed of a further layer (referred to as fixing layer). Both the position of the micromechanical structures as well as the connecting means are defined by a single photomask. Depressions (trenches) are etched into a layer, particularly an insulating layer applied on the substrate being etched with this (first) photomask, whereby the micromechanical structures are produced in the trenches and some of the ridges remaining between the trenches partially serve as space-reserving ridges for the connecting means to be produced in a later method step.
The space-reserving ridges are removed at prescribed locations with the assistance of a second photomask whose adjustment is not critical, whereby the etching process preferably uncovers the substrates. The second photomask thus defines the exact position of the connecting means within the space-reserving ridges. Dependent on the type of intended connection (for example, only a mechanical connection) and on the layers applied onto the substrate, the etching process can also be stopped earlier (shallower), for example at a layer applied on the substrate.
The holes that have arisen with the etching process are filled with the fixing layer. If the fixing layer is to be applied surface-wide, a third photomask is required for the structuring thereof. In this case, the structuring can ensue such that the movable structures are retained by the fixing layer to the substrate at the same time.
The process is suitable for the manufacture of any desired micromechanical component parts having static and movable micromechanical structures, i.e. for example, motors, gearings and linearly movable structures. The connecting means can be provided at any desired location, i.e. at the edge of a static structure as well. When an electrical connection is to be produced, a corresponding space-reserving ridge is produced over a contact region in the substrate with the assistance of the first photomask, whereby the adjustment must assure an adequate electrical contacting area.
The micromechanical structures and connecting means can be produced of a material matched to the intended employment and compatible with silicon technology. In particular, a tungsten deposited in a CVD method is suitable as a material for a motor, namely for the rotor, stator and rotational axle, since it has good conductivity and can be deposited with a great thickness and conformably. It is therefore also preferably employed as fixing layer, whereby a selective deposition can also be implemented.
The invention shall be set forth in greater detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the figures.
FIGS. 1 through 5 show in progression the manufacturing method of the invention on the basis of a cross section through a substrate with reference to the example of a micromechanical motor.
FIG. 6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a motor of the invention.
According to this exemplary embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, a lower insulating layer 3 of silicon nitride (approximately 60 nm) and an upper insulating layer 4 of silicon oxide (for example, BPSG, approximately 2500 nm) are applied onto a substrate 1 that can already contain finished structures or circuits and comprises a contact region 2 at its surface. The upper insulating layer 4, for example, has a largely planar surface as a result of a polishing process (Chemical Mechanical Processing, CMP); preferably, the substrate 1 is likewise already planarized by a polishing process or by some other process.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 with a first photomask (not shown), trenches 5 are etched into the upper insulating layer 4, these serving the purpose of accepting the static and movable micromechanical structures. Trenches 5S for the stator, 5R for the rotor and 5D for the rotational axle are thereby provided, whereby the trenches for rotor and rotational axle proceed essentially annularly and concentrically.
The trench 5D for the rotational axle comprises a ridge 4P in its inside (not necessarily centrally-symmetrically) that serves as a space-reserving means for a connecting means to be produced later for connecting the rotational axle to the substrate. The trench 5S for the stator comprises a corresponding space-reserving ridge 4P that is arranged above the contact region 2. This space-reserving ridge can also be omitted when the stator is to be joined to the substrate at its edge (the hole yet to be explained for the connecting means is then subsequently etched at the stator edge).
Ridges 4A that define the spacings between the corresponding structures are located between the trench 5R for the rotor on the one hand and the trenches 5S, 5D for stator or rotational axle on the other hand. These ridges are preferably optimally narrow (dependent on lithography and etching processes).
After the removal of the lacquer mask, a material for the micromechanical structures, preferably CVD tungsten with underlying adhesion layer of titanium/titanium nitride which fills the trenches is deposited surface-wide. The removal of the excess material can ensue on the basis of a polishing process (CMP) or by anisotropic re-etching. In the case of anisotropic re-etching (without auxiliary masks), the smaller expanse of the trench dare be no greater than approximately twice the trench depth. When larger tungsten areas are nonetheless to be produced, then these must be resolved net-like.
After the removal of the excess material, stator 6S, rotor 6R and rotational axle 6D are finished, whereby the rotational axle and, potentially, the stator as well are fashioned as hollow members for the acceptance of the connecting means.
FIG. 3 illustrates an intermediate layer 7 of, preferably, silicon oxide (for example, BPSG having a thickness of approximately 100 nm) applied surface-wide. At least the ridges 4A are covered with a second photomask (not shown) on the intermediate layer 7, whereby the space-reserving ridges 4P remain uncovered over an adequately large area, preferably entirely uncovered. In view of a good mechanical and electrical connection, it is advantageous when the lacquer mask also leaves parts of the stator 6S and rotational axle 6D free.
Holes 8 are etched into the intermediate layer 7 and into the space-reserving ridges 4P with the second photomask; an anisotropic etching process selective relative to tungsten is utilized, so that the surfaces of stator and rotational axle are partially uncovered. The silicon oxide layer 4 and the silicon nitride layer 3 lying therebelow are etched down to the substrate 1 or, respectively, down to the contact region 2.
As shown in FIG. 4, by deposition of a fixing layer 9, the holes that have arisen are filled at least up to the upper edge of the intermediate layer 7. Tungsten (potentially with an adhesion layer lying therebelow) is preferably deposited surface-wide as fixing layer and is then structured with a third lacquer mask (not shown) to form connecting means 9S, 9D with which the stator S and rotational axle 6D are electrically or, respectively, mechanically connected to the contact region 2 and to the substrate 1. A part of the structured fixing layer (9S or, preferably, 9D for the purpose of avoiding shorts) thereby partially covers the rotor 6R.
FIG. 5 illustrates that after the removal of the lacquer mask, the intermediate layer 7 and the upper insulating layer 4 are selectively etched off relative to the lower insulating layer 3; this being possible in a simple way wet-chemically given the recited materials. The rotor 6R is thereby uncovered and becomes movable, whereas stator 6S and rotational axle 6D remain anchored at least via the connecting means 9S, 9D in the lower insulating layer 3. Dependent on the duration of the etching process, the upper insulating layer 4 is also not completely removed under the stator structure. As may be seen in the figure, the rotor 6R is protected against falling out by the connecting means 9D.
FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment wherein the movable structures, i.e. the rotor 6R, can also be seated on spacers 6A having a small seating area (what are referred to as "bushings", as likewise described in the prior art). To that end, corresponding trenches are structured with an auxiliary mask in the upper insulating layer 4 after deposition of the upper insulating layer 4. These are then lowered farther in the anisotropic etching of the trench 5 and are later filled with tungsten for the formation of the spacers 6A.
In a modification of the exemplary embodiment that has been set forth, the holes for the acceptance of the connecting means can also be etched only up into the lower insulating layer 3 or up to the surface thereof when no electrical connection is provided at the substrate and an adequate mechanical stability of the component part is assured, for example as a result of a large seating surface of the connecting means. On the other hand, it can also be etched into the substrate. Further, the lower insulating layer 3 is not necessary when the etching process for uncovering the movable micromechanical structures ensues selectively relative to the substrate 1 as well as, potentially, relative to the contact region 2 and the required stability of the electrical or, respectively, mechanical connection is assured. Other layers can also be selected instead of the lower and/or upper insulating layer 3, 4 in the region of a purely mechanical part, i.e. without direct electrical connection. The upper layer 4 must thereby be selectively etchable relative to the material of the micromechanical structures 6 and relative to the lower layer 3 or relative to the substrate 1.
A particular advantage of the process is its good compatibility with manufacturing processes for semiconductor circuits. The materials employed and the process steps are known from metallization processes for integrated circuits. The described three-mask process can be implemented directly following a conventional metallization process. The lower insulating layer 3 protects the intermetal oxide during the etching step for uncovering the rotor. The process also solves the problem of contacting micromotors and other micromechanical elements. The contact region 2 produces the connection to the connecting means and, thus, to the static micromechanical structures. In the same way, pad openings of the integrated circuit can be connected from the outside.
The process that has been presented requires no x-ray lithography and assembly as in the LIGA Process (P. Bley et al, Microelectronic Engineering 13, 509, 1991) and requires no additional polysilicon depositions like the processes that were initially set forth. By contrast to all other processes, the protection of the intermetal oxide and the motor contacting can be implemented in a simple way and are part of the process design.
All static and movable micromechanical structures are produced in the same mask level and are therefore exactly aligned. The absence of adjustment tolerances allows the manufacture of micromotors having the smallest possible air gap and having high torque. By contrast to all known processes, all mask levels are produced on a planar surface, so that the resolution of the lithography can be optimally exploited.
Extremely large layer thicknesses (particularly greater than 5 μm) can be realized given employment of (CVD) tungsten, so that, for example, motors having high torque can be manufactured. No photolithographic problems arise despite the high layer thicknesses, since the metal is deposited in trenches and leaves a planar surface. The process allows the employment of extremely conductive material (tungsten, aluminum, other metals) for the micromechanical structures and for the connecting means.
The process can be governed extremely well and far more simply than all known processes; in particular only three photolevels are required. Even given introduction of an auxiliary mask for producing bushings, it is only the same number of masks as in the simplest polysilicon processes that is required.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, those of skill in the art will recognize that changes may be made thereto without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

I actually really liked this polish. It was a little brighter on my nails than it appeared in the bottle, but it was a pleasant surprise for me as I really liked the way it looked on my skin tone. It's a bright, coral peachy- orange colour that really stands out on tanned skin. The formula is really nice as it went on smooth and dried quickly, and it had good staying power. Overall a really nice colour for summer.

Tart Deco is streaky, goopy mess. Put it on like a standard polish and it ends up streaky-striped, but put it on thick enough to cover the streaks and it doesn't dry. Essie has the widest variety in nail polish consistencies of any brand I've tried, which is confusing. I purchased another color of theirs a couple of weeks ago and it was so watery that it took four to five coats to get the full color and coverage (but each coat dried quickly and there were no streaks). At any rate, I wouldn't recommend Tart Deco.

This is an opaque, non streaky, melon/coral nail polish. It's around eight dollars for 0.46 fl. oz. The packaging is a square glass bottle, with a white cap/handle. The brush is relatively small.
For me, one coat of this polish was enough to make it completely opaque. Like most essie polishes, the dry time is roughly around two minutes. However, I do notice that some nails still are not dried after around five, which is a bit strange. Without top coat, this lasted me about three days, considering the fact that I tend to use my nails a lot. When I do use it with a top coat, it lasts about a week. I love the formula, but the color's not exactly my taste.

I was shocked at the terrible reviews on this product because I am SO in love with this nail polish! I was looking for a nice coral nail polish for summer and had to try a few before I found this one. It was exactly the colour I was looking for...not too orange with a nice hint of pink tones.
This actually went on like a dream for me...2 coats and it was perfect - no streaking or flooding at the cuticles and it went on evenly. It dried very quickly and set great with Essie's top coat "good to go" on top. I painted my nails on Tuesday - it is now Saturday and there is no chipping whatsoever and it still looks amazing! I can't wait to wear this on my toes for a perfect summer pedi! I'm very fair skinned and I think it looks great on me. The brush on Essie polishes are a tad too small for my liking but not a huge deal breaker for me.
Someone mentioned that Essie may have changed this product so the bad reviews are probably on that version. If you own it and don't like it I'd recommend purchasing it again because the formula has probably improved. If you don't own this and you're looking for a nice coral nail polish go buy this now :). The price is a little steep at $11 regular price at Shoppers Drug Mart (I got it on sale for $9) - that's more than OPI the last I checked. But I think its worth it and would definitely repurchase!

Tart Deco would probably only stands out on tan skin. On anyone who is pale, this shade is a nondescript, dull, pastel orange, and I wouldn't even call it especially glossy. I just don't understand wearing a dull orange. This orange is not a neutral, and probably still a bit too adventurous for work-- so I don't know where this fits. I'd lump it in with the pastels, but more dull. It's like the color of an orange-creamsicle, but in serious need of major contrast and an intensely shiny topcoat. Application is fine, and drying time is average-just like the polish itself.

This polish is gorgeous. However, it is a bit streaky on the first coat, but by the second it is smooth. Absolutely perfect shade for summer.

More reviews by BeautysWithin16
I own tons of Essie polishes that i absolutely adore, so i looked up some swatches while in Target of some colors that caught my eye and this is one of them. I decided to paint my nails last night using this color.. first i applied my Seche Vite Base Coat then started using this polish, first thing i noticed was that it was quite liquid-y, though that isn't a big deal for me, but may be for some people. After applying one coat it did set and it did look really nice and 'gel' like i guess you could say. Some polishes i noticed are streaky when sometimes going over one spot over again and this one wasn't. After applying two coats i was finished and i loved how my nails looked, they look great, they took about 3-4 minutes to dry, and then i applied my Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat and i could so rave about this top coat, it dries in under a MINUTE, and it makes the polish even more shiny while adding a protective barrier. I am reviewing this the day after painting my nails and i wash my hands A LOT (germaphobe here) and my polish hasn't chipped at all! I think this polish would last me a whole week like i expect, i tend to paint my nails every sunday and wear that polish for a week and then change it up! I definitely recommend this polish, perfect for spring/summer!

I love the color but such a poorly made product. I apply two coats and then apply a nail chip clear coat and by the next day my nail polish is already coming off. Essie offers a variety of great colors but the quality of the product is so poor. It's unfortunate.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm surprised at all the bad reviews on here for this polish. I have had some issues with other colours in the Essie catalogue being difficult to apply well (Ballet Slippers jumps immediately to mind), I found Tart Deco to be one of their better formulas.
I applied Essie's First Base Basecoat, two coats of polish and Essie's Good To Go Topcoat. The polish itself went on well, wasn't too thin or thick, and dried beautifully and quickly thanks to the topcoat.
In terms of colour, it's just beautiful. Great for spring, very nice and bright.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is seriously the worst formula I have ever used of any nail polish - it was the biggest mess! I have used nail polish all my life as well. I had to redo it like three times, and even then needed three coats. I love this colour but this was horrendous to apply which I really don't understand because other Essie polishes I have used are fine. I'm sure there would be better dupes of this colour. Please avoid this if you can :(

Ohio artist, Dennis Wojtkiewicz [voyt-KEV-itch] explores the sensitive nature of time in his oversized oil paintings of fruit and flowers. The transitory nature of his subject matter is encapsulated, transfixed and glorified with hightened photorealism. Light and translucence make these paintings glow. Nature's perfect patterning allows each painting to take on a meditative quality.

Hubble Photographs Turbulent Neighborhood Near Eruptive Star
A small portion of the rough-and-tumble neighborhood of swirling dust and gas near one of the most massive and eruptive stars in our galaxy is seen in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. This close-up view shows only a three light-year-wide portion of the entire Carina Nebula, which has a diameter of over 200 light-years. Located 8,000 light-years from Earth, the nebula can be seen in the southern sky with the naked eye.
Dramatic dark dust knots and complex structures are sculpted by the high-velocity stellar winds and high-energy radiation from the ultra-luminous variable star called Eta Carinae, or Eta Car (located outside the picture). This image shows a region in the Carina Nebula between two large clusters of some of the most massive and hottest known stars.

Giant Ocean Waves of Wood and Glass by Mario Ceroli
According to the New York Times sculptor Mario Ceroli is one of the least known yet most influential artists of the Italian post-war scene. His work spans over forty years and I encourage you to take a deep dive into his website to explore his wide range of installations and sculptures. Two of his most beautiful works depict crashing waves sculpted from thin layers of precisely cut wood and glass titled La Vague and Maestrale. The energy present in the works is remarkable as if any moment the materials are going to crash into the gallery floor. Also, if you've ever been to the Adelaide Botanic Garden in Australia you may have seen a similar piece by sculptor Sergio Redegalli called Cascade.

Start again. You can't use Disk Utility to create a Bootcamp partition. Next time, download and pring the Bootcamp installation instructions. It is the first option when you start Bootcamp Assistant.
You should post further Bootcam questions in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out.

Cross-platform collaboration with Alfresco
Workflow Management
Alfresco lets you associate a document with a workflow. A workflow is a set of steps that the document will pass through. Most of the workflow types available in Alfresco are related to the review of the documents; options include peer review, parallel review, pool review, and group review. However, Alfresco also lets you create ad hoc workflows, with which you can assign arbitrary tasks to your colleagues.
To create a workflow, select a document and then click on the More button, which appears on the extreme right. In the drop-down menu, select Start workflow, which takes you to the workflow editing page (Figure 5).
To view all your pending tasks, and the workflows you created, just click on the More button in the site dashboard. As you click, you get the drop-down with a option to view all the pending tasks and workflows.
Other Features
As mentioned previously, Alfresco lets you add useful features, such as wikis, blogs, discussions, calendars, data lists, and links to your site. Most of these tools are self-explanatory; however, I will mention one innovative Alfresco feature: the data list.
A data list allows you to create lists for almost any kind of data you wish to display on your site. The list could be a contact list, a to-do list, an issues list, an address list, or any other list. Such lists can be a great asset for your Alfresco site, especially when you have forgetful users on your site.
The Discussions feature lets the user create a discussion group on a specific topic, with a post and reply format for the ensuing discussion.
SharePoint and Alfresco Integration
Alfresco lets you integrate the document repository with Microsoft office suite tools such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. So, while you work with your favorite document editor, you can leverage your Alfresco repository to store, share, and manage your documents.
The tight integration with Microsoft tools is possible because Alfresco provides support for the SharePoint protocol. This SharePoint support is included out of the box when you download the Alfresco 3a community release. You can also manually install SharePoint support on earlier versions.
SharePoint protocol support is added to Alfresco through the Alfresco WAR (Web Application Archive) file. The
vti-module.amp file needs to be installed to enable Alfresco to connect as SharePoint.
The installation steps are as follows (according to the official Alfresco documentation):
- Shut down the Alfresco server.
- Start the MMT (Module Management Tool) to help you manage the AMP (Alfresco Module Package). Run the command
java - jar alfresco-mmt-2.1.jarat the command line to start the MMT.
- As the MMT is started, you can run the command
install <AMPFileLocation> <WARFileLocation>to install the
.ampfile to the
.warfile. Just replace the file location fields with the file locations of the
vti-module.ampfile and the
- Copy the
ROOT.warfile into the
Tomcatwebappsfolder. To do this, delete the
ROOTfolder from the
webappsfolder (if there is one), then copy
ROOT.warinto the
- Start your Alfresco server.
Remember that the installation is only required if you are using a version of Alfresco that doesn't have SharePoint protocol support installed by default.
Imagine one of your team members is editing a document in a favorite word processing tool, which happens to be MS Word. With the SharePoint protocol support enabled, the user can directly save the Word file to the Alfresco repository, and MS Word will think it is talking to a SharePoint server.
Figure 6 shows how to save a file in MS Word for Mac 2011. Choose the File menu in MS Word and select Share | Save to SharePoint.
The next window lets you choose a previous location or add a new one. Click on the + button in the lower left corner of the window to add a new SharePoint server folder path (Figure 7).

My Email Digests
After waiting for what seems a very long time, she finally got all our stuff checked out. Since I'm a serious coupon clipper and try to use them for everything, I handed her my stack of coupons. Right off, she started handing me some back. One she said was out of date? bought too many? One not enough? Not large enough? In a package?
I got a little angry at the "in a package". I looked at her, the coupon and told her, " no where on this coupon does it say the product cannot be in a package." She said it was policy. I asked her where it was. Show me. She couldn't. Then I showed her the yogurt one. Too many? The coupon said 6 I had 7. I was shaking mad. I mean. Sometimes, those checkers must think they're way above the customers the way we get treated. She gave me those coupons.
I'm just about ready to quit coupons. The ones we really need - Tide, Downy, you know, daily things. Aren't worth much and the prices are so high it really doesn't matter if one has a coupon.
I could go on and on. But it does seem prices have gone up a lot and it's harder to stay on budget. Anyone else think so or is it just me?
But by the time we left that store, I had a bad headache. Mark said it was only because I wanted to punch that checker and all the restraint I used caused the pain. :-) I laughed. I didn't want to punch her. LOL! Just shove coupons in her face...
Have a good one, ya'll
We've never had any problems with using them that I know of. You must have gotten a checker in a bad mood, having a bad day.
Costs of everything seem to have gone up in the past year. Companies struggling to stay in business (or protect their profits) keep raising prices and passing it along to the consumer.
I have discovered that Kroger usually has good deals all the time, so coupons arent needed. They have lots of buy one get one free and 4 for 5 kinda stuff. Its like they take the need for coupons away because everything is already listed as a sale. I shop there for food and Target for the other stuff...but Kroger can have shampoo and stuff on a good sale too at times...
She did and was agry about it. The check out manager and store manager showed up. I explained the problem, the store manager said, we had a meeting about that 2 days ago, what is the problem? Honor the ad.
She was so angry. I told her, I was right and I knew I was right. She didn't win that one and a week later she was no longer there.
Then there is the story of how a bank cashier was fired due to insulting me. I knew the bank manager and reported the problem. She was dismissed and no longer works in a bank.
My point, speak up and demand your rights. that is what I do. I usually leave with a headache and a bit of anxiety. But I refuse to let them push me around.

My only shopping is on the internet..No rude clerks there. If I don't like what I see BAMMO One button your gone.
Soft Hugs
As each day passes and I hear about things which happen to other people....I can not help but wonder....as I just recently found out that someone who has access to people private and personal info....got into one of my children's files....and this person had no business in it whatsoever.....but she had a relative who needed info about some things....
People are suppose to do things and follow rules and regulations of how something is done....but this does not always happen.....as with a lot of things....inside connections on a lot of things happen....and yet more often than not....no one ever truly looks into matters close enough to figure out how something was discovered which made a big difference in how someone made a decision the way they did....
So....as I read your post....I wondered....why in your case...did the cashier act the way she did? Perhaps she wanted to show her authority.....we never know....I have found out that there are always 2 sides to each and every story....and when the stories differ so much....it is obvious that someone is not telling the truth....and then I have to wonder...why do people have to make up things about what actually took place....
As you can see....I am the type of person who always has another question to ask.....about something that happened...
Each day.....I am quite amazed at the things that people say and do....and then I have to wonder....why do they say the things that say and do the things they do....something at one time or another must have influenced them to be this way....
I do know that my younger son went to college and learned that adults do not always tell the truth.....now this is the truth....he had no idea...until something happened in college and a professor told a lie....he could not believe this....
I could not help but laugh....I had no idea just how I had kept my children so sheltered in life....I always expected my children to do what was right...and I guess they assumed that everyone was taught the same way.....to tell the truth....no matter what....LOL...
Ok....I will get off my soapbox....I just wanted to share this with you...
People do sometimes irrate me to no end....as I wonder what caused this person to act this way.....and the thing is....we will never know....
Take care and good luck...
I know if I leave my husband home, I get out of the store faster and cheaper, lol. He is am impulse buyer, I stick to a list that I make out at home when I am not hungry. I eat something before I go to the store. If you shop when you are hungry you will buy more junk.
I buy non-perishables when they are on sale, and keep a back up one at home, so I don't get stuck and have to buy it when it is not on sale.
I make it a game to get the lowest cost per week.
Take care, Annette

City teachers learn how to appeal evaluations
Rochester, N.Y. The union that represents Rochester teachers put together sessions at which teachers could learn how to appeal the grade associated with new evaluations.
Many Rochester teachers recently found out they labeled developing.
Teachers are feeling degraded, said Rochester Teachers Association Secretary Aimee Rinere.
The evaluations are called Annual Professional Performance Reviews, or APPRs, and are partly tied to new state tests.
RTA says this change means many teachers in urban areas are placed at a disadvantage because of high absenteeism and perennially low test scores.
If you want to hold us accountable, thats fine, I just want it done in a fair way, said Sherard Cox, an elementary school teacher in Rochester.
Rinere says an appeal might be able to tack a few points onto an evaluation, which, in some cases, would be enough to move the teacher up to effective.
This years evaluations do not count towards anything, but Rinere says they do lay the groundwork for next years grades.
RTA will also be holding sessions to help teachers navigate through the improvement plan that follows a label of developing or ineffective.
The Rochester City School District did not comment Monday saying evaluations were a personnel matter.

Data Marketing Critics Check Out What's Written About Them
Originally published on Thu September 5, 2013 7:34 am
Companies that collect and sell information about you are usually pretty secretive about what they have on you. But one of the biggest data brokers is now letting consumers have a peek.
Yesterday, the Acxiom Corp. set up a website where people can look themselves up. It's called AboutTheData.com. As NPR's Martin Kaste reports, some of the first people to try it were the data industry's critics.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: Ashkan Soltani is privacy researcher. He says so far, he's just been poking at the website. He doesn't like the fact that logging in all the way requires personal information, like his date of birth.
ASHKAN SOLTANI: After that, it's pretty much along the lines of, you know, helping them verify your information.
KASTE: But if you don't log in, you give up the chance to correct their mistakes. And they do make mistakes. Stanford graduate student Jonathan Mayer has been a prominent voice for limits on big data, and he was quick to log in to see what Acxiom had to say about him.
JONATHAN MAYER: If I read the page correctly, Acxiom believes I have three children, own my sister's since-sold car, made just 14 purchases in the past two years; and I'm Christian. and I'm into motorcycling.
KASTE: None of which is true. But Mayer doesn't take comfort in the inaccuracies. He says Acxiom shows you the educated guesses that it's making about you - guesses that are sometimes wrong. But he says what the site is not showing you is the wealth of hard data that those guesses are based on. Mayer calls the website privacy theater. He says it's meant to improve the company's image, and deflect possible government regulation.
Acxiom didn't return calls from NPR. But CEO Scott Howe told The New York Times that the company does favor heightened industry regulation, but that it wants to keep, quote, "a voice in the process."

Microwave vies with fiber for high-frequency trading
Stock traders turning to legacy microwave technologies for faster communications
IDG News Service - In the world of high-frequency trading, where being ahead of the competition by a few milliseconds can mean profits worth millions of dollars, finance firms are increasingly looking to decades-old microwave technologies for a competitive edge.
Such firms are finding that wireless microwave technology, despite being in use for more than half a century, can deliver data a few milliseconds faster than fiber-optic cable. As a result, the once-stagnant industry of microwave communications is finding itself in an "arms race" among vendors of new competitive offerings, said Mike Persico, CEO of financial exchange service provider Anova Technologies.
"If you want to transport a little bit of data very fast, physics tells you that you have to go through air. Fiber is just not a good idea. It will slow you down," explained StA(c)phane Ty , co-founder of Quincy Data, which provides microwave services to financial firms.
Ty was one of a number of speakers who discussed the increasing use of microwave technologies at the Quant Invest conference last week in New York.
For financial services firms, getting some piece of competitive intelligence a few milliseconds faster than their competitors can be worth the cost of securing a faster link. Stock trades can take less than a millisecond to execute.
Microwave technologies have been in use for point-to-point connections for decades by the military and by broadcast television stations. Point-to-point wireless microwave transmissions, which operate in the 1.0GHz to 30GHz part of the spectrum, require line of site, though signals can be repeated along the route. A good signal -- such as between two mountaintops -- can travel as much as 300 kilometers, or around 186 miles.
Microwave use has declined in the past few decades as fiber-optics communications has been able to offer greater bandwidth. These days, the largest microwave link can offer only 150Mbps, though work is being done to develop gigabit microwave technologies.
One advantage microwave still possesses, however, is speed of transmission. Electromagnetic waves travel faster through air than through glass. Light, an electromagnetic wave, can travel at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second in a vacuum, and nearly that quickly through air. Light, however, can only travel at about 200,000 kilometers per second in even the clearest glass.
Another speed advantage microwave technologies offer is that their paths tend to be shorter, because signals can be beamed across the most direct path between two points. The length of fiber-optic routes tend to be elongated due to the inability to get right-of-way along the most optimum routes.
One new hot market for microwave providers is between New York and Chicago, both cities with many financial services firms. In 2010, Quincy Data had applied with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to secure a pathway between Chicago and New York. It found only one other provider that had also submitted a similar request. Since then dozens of other carriers have submitted requests to the agency. Quincy Data has been operational since July selling throughput between the two cities.
Based on the speed of light, the theoretical limit for sending information between New York and Chicago is 7.96 milliseconds. Right now, the state-of-the-art among microwave service providers is about 8.5 milliseconds, Persico said, noting how different providers are trying to secure the fastest rights-of-way and are developing technologies with the lowest latencies, all in an effort to offer the fastest sub-millisecond services for financial firms.
"We've been looking at [microwave technologies] for about a year now, in both Europe and the U.S.," said Ian Jack, head of the U.S. infrastructure business for the New York Stock Exchange, during a panel discussion on the topic. "We're looking at what the vendor community is doing and trying to leverage that as much as possible."
Performance is still a big factor, Jack said. Performance "is one of our big challenges as a potential buyer. If you look at the actual uptime for services, it's not brilliant. Every vendor has a new change, a revelation just around the corner, but we have yet to see that."
Rain can hamper performance with microwave technologies. So can low-lying clouds. "Interference can bring an entire network down, and you don't have that with fiber-optic networks," Persico said. He noted that, eventually, microwave technology vendors will compete more on how robust their networks are, once they offer approximately the same latency times.

Thread: Efficiency Expert
Efficiency Expert
The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home."
"Why not?" asked someone from the back of the audience.
"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips to the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying just a single item at a time.
'Hon,' I suggested, 'Why don't you try carrying several things at once?'"
The voice from the back asked, "Did it save time?"
The expert replied, "Actually, yes. It used to take her 20 minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in seven."
A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

What you'll need:
Thrift store sweatshirt
Remnant of fabric for your pocket made of similar weight and
stretch as the sweatshirt
Embroidery floss
Sewing machine or hand needle and thread
Straight pins
What you'll do:
1. Using the pocket
on a different sweatshirt as a pattern, cut two "kangaroo" shaped pockets. If
the edges of your pocket fabric will fray, add 5/8" seam allowance all
around. If your pockets are made from a fabric that won't unravel, add 5/8"
seam allowance to the curved edges only.
2. Press under the
seam allowances.
3. Using embroidery
floss, hand-stitch the curved edges with a running stitch to secure the seam
allowances to the pockets. The fold at the pocket openings is important so
those edges don't stretch.
4. Pin the pockets
onto the sweatshirt and sew them down using the same simple running stitch.

Find and book great restaurantsFind a Restaurant
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... This delightfully quirky Islington newcomer should suit local media-luvvies to a T with its tongue-in-cheek take on a public house. A melange of 50s kitsch and French antique-shop finds serve as the backdrop to retro cocktails such as the aviation (an Edwardian gin, lemon and violet cup). For the peckish, there are ham or cheese boards, cups of soup or the likes of confit duck leg with Puy lentils.
GENERAL NEWS (November 2008)... The eyes of the world are on the US election, so whether you're Democrat, Republican or bystander, what better way to immerse yourself in all things American than at one of London's many Stateside eateries? Here's a selection of Square Meal's favourite places, so chow down on burgers and ribs while you chew the political fat with your fellow diners.
Hardly a month goes by without another story on Alan Yau's new plans. Well, the indefatigable restaurateur is at it again. He's just teamed up with Italian baker Rocco Princi to open Princi in Soho. It's a bakery and café offering all kinds Italian treats to take-away, plus a small bar area where guests can enjoy an early-morning espresso and pastry or prosecco and pizza later in the day.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... Following a multi-million pound refurbishment, Andaz hotel has finally unveiled the jewel in its crown, its main restaurant, 1901. The striking Grade II-listed dining room is topped off with a stained-glass dome, while top-rate Brit produce is the order of the day: think sausage rolls with piccalilli at the bar, or Cornish mackerel with pickled cauliflower followed by roast veal with confit potatoes in the restaurant proper.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... Brothers Tom and Ed Martin, the gastropub gurus behind The Botanist and The Gun, have long been flying the flag for great British food. Their latest venture, the Hat and Tun, is a full-on English boozer with smart wood-panelled interiors, a sprinkling of taxidermy and proper pub grub along the lines of pie, mash and liquor or ploughman's washed down with cask ale.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... Is that the click-clack of Liz Hurley's heels we hear? The London outpost of Trishna – toast of Bollywood and favourite of Arun Nayar – has arrived. Relaxed, unfussy surrounds mean the focus is on the cooking, with ex-Rasoi Vineet Bhatia head chef Ravi Deulkar turning out modern Indian cuisine with an emphasis on seafood: think Isle of Shuna mussels in a coconut and turmeric masala or the signature dish of whole butter garlic crab.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... You can't call Richard Corrigan's success at Bentley's – or his eponymous eatery at Lindsay House – the luck of the Irish. The acclaimed chef clearly knows how to work a restaurant. So we have no doubt that he'll come up trumps with his latest venue Corrigan's Mayfair. Once again he's working prime British & Irish produce into refined dishes such as roe venison in pastry with pickled cabbage.
DATE FOR THE DIARY... Looking for some glamour to lift the winter blues? Head down to City Italian, Caravaggio, for a night of jazz and cabaret on 27-28 November. The evening will kick off at 7pm with a three-course meal, followed by live entertainment from burlesque star Holly Penfield.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... We're bowled over by the news that the third in the line of boutique all-American bowling alleys, All Star Lanes, has opened on Brick Lane. This one's the daddy of the lot, boasting no less than nine lanes for the kingpins among you. The retro Stateside bar and diner majors in US classics, from cocktails, beers and bourbons to Louisiana crab cakes, jambalaya risotto and baby-back ribs.
FOOD AND DRINK EVENT (November 2008)... Westminster restaurant Quirinale has just introduced its autumn/winter white truffle menu. Priced at £120 for three courses, higlights include tagliolini with parmesan and truffle or fillet of Scottish beef with creamed spinach and truffle. You can also sample the dishes and get advice from its sommelier in the comfort of your home, thanks to Quirinale A Casa, the restaurant's private catering service.
FOOD AND DRINK EVENT (November 2008)... Vivat Bacchus is hosting Hannes Myburgh of prestigious South African winery Meerlust this Friday for what promises to be an impressive wine dinner. Critically acclaimed wines from the Cape producer will be served alongside a five-course menu created by Vivat Bacchus chef Stuart Ferguson specifically for the evening. Tickets are priced at £69 per person – call 020 7353 2648 to book. The dinner will also benefit the Paul Jung Nickel Home for adults with mental and physical disabilities in Pretoria, South Africa. An auction and raffle will be held on the evening, and a part of the proceeds from the dinner will also be donated to the home.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... Roll up! Roll up! This theatreland newcomer is sure to be a box office smash. Sibling to the popular Fulham Road original, Sophie's Steakhouse offers the same line-up of juicy steaks, burgers and salads, this time in a sprawling space with atmospheric mellow lighting. It's still no-bookings, but grab a cocktail in the buzzy bar and people-watch into the wee small hours.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... For the brave souls embarking on Christmas shopping in the West End this weekend, why not take some respite at Bar Trattoria Semplice? This affordable off-shoot of neighbouring Ristorante Semplice offers tasty nibbles up at the bar, while the dining room is the place to linger, serving the likes of gnocchi with duck ragu, crisp-skinned leg of suckling pig or red mullet with roast potatoes.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... For an alternative to the usual turkey and stuffing, why not head to Madsen for a Scandinavian Christmas feast? On weekends from 22 November it will be hosting a traditional smorgasbord buffet with year-round classics such as marinated herring alongside festive dishes of duck thighs with baked apples. For diners visiting between Monday and Thursday, there's lunchtime smorrebrod (Danish open sandwiches) or an evening menu of delightful modern European dishes with a Nordic accent.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... We all know how much Italian men love their mamas, so it should come as no surprise that new restaurant and bar Lena is named after the owner's mother. Taking inspiration from her Sicilian upbringing, it's strong on southern specialities such as pasta con n'duja (spicy sausage) and pesce spada all'aghiotta (stuffed fish), though there are more familiar Italian dishes of mushroom risotto or seafood linguine too. For eclectic cocktails, head to the downstairs bar, where you might like to raise a glass to your own mama.
DATE FOR THE DIARY (November 2008)... Well gee, shucks and golly gosh. Thanksgiving is upon us, so for those of you who hail from across the pond, as well as the rest of us (who just like the sound of turkey, sweet potatoes and pecan pie), what better way to celebrate than with a good old-fashioned American feast? Here's a selection of Square Meal's favourite Stateside eateries: be sure to call ahead for details of what's on offer.
RECENTLY OPENED (November 2008)... Love and marriage may go together like a horse and carriage, but so do steakhouses and meat markets. In fact the only complaint we have about the location of new branch of the upmarket Gaucho group is: why didn't they think of it sooner? Right in the heart of Smithfield market, where better to chomp on full-flavoured beef, preceded by a zingy ceviche and washed down with a top-notch glass of Argentinian red?
