Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43), a Congressional leader in the fight to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing, issued the following statement in reaction to President Barack Obama's announcement to commute prison sentences for eight people convicted of crack cocaine offenses:
"I am pleased that President Obama is commuting the prison terms of eight people convicted on federal crack cocaine charges. Each of these men and women served more than 15 years in prison and six were sentenced to life in prison under mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
According to the White House, in several cases, the sentencing judges expressed frustration that the law at the time did not allow them to issue punishments that more appropriately fit the crime.
"I have worked over the last two decades to bring about awareness and educate communities about mandatory minimums and sentencing disparities. Mandatory minimum sentences have not reduced drug use and have contributed to exploding prison populations throughout the United States. I have partnered with advocacy organizations and worked alongside courageous advocates such as Professor Charles Ogletree and Kemba Smith, who was sentenced to serve a mandatory minimum before she was commuted under the Clinton Administration.
"This past September, I reintroduced the Major Drug Trafficking Prosecution Act (H.R. 3088) to re-focus scarce federal resources to prosecute major drug kingpins and give courts and judges the authority to use greater discretion to make individualized determinations rather than being held to a stringent sentencing requirement prescribed by Congress. In August, Attorney General Holder announced that he would instruct federal prosecutors to forgo the pursuit of mandatory minimum sentences in certain cases involving low-level, non-violent drug offenders.
"Although the President's eight commutations and Department of Justice policy change on mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenders are both important steps forward, we must work to change the law to permanently address this injustice. I look forward to continue working with the Administration and my colleagues in Congress to renew the call to action and fight for the full repeal of these substandard sentencing policies."

Looks like 50% dividend has become the benchmark for distribution of profits by the Indian companies. Even managements that were once reluctant to share their gains with the shareholders have become more liberal with regard to their distribution of dividends. What made this change in the attitude of many conservative managements? Your views?

Raising working Capital has become dear with banks due to formalities and interest rates ,Capital Markets has become an easy alternative . Expansion and project managements are increasing day by day and in the climate of competitive business environment companies find easy options with raising funds from the public directly . This is possible only through estabilishment of good investor relationship ,by dolling out Sizable dividends to their stock holders companies create a trace record of payouts to facilitate easy capital formation through public issues . They are still conservative with issue of Bonus shares which will dilute their hold , Dividend pay out is very viable and profitable alternative to bolster the investers interest in corporates , nowadays.Answered by venkatesaldevarajan, 02 Aug '10 12:44 pm

Indian companies are very stingy when it comes to payment of dividends. If the earning per share of Rs.10 is 50 even then they declare only 50 per cent dividend. Foreign companies declare more dividends because majority of shares is held by foreigners and they repatriate larger share of profit every year.Answered by mandook, 02 Aug '10 09:24 pm

Track your patients' progress and communicate with Stanford providers conveniently and securely.
Our aim was to reliably identify patients with advanced-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) at increased risk of death by developing a robust predictor of overall survival (OS) using gene expression measured in routinely available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET).Expression levels of 259 genes, including those previously reported to be associated with outcome in cHL, were determined by digital expression profiling of pretreatment FFPET biopsies from 290 patients enrolled onto the E2496 Intergroup trial comparing doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) and Stanford V regimens in locally extensive and advanced-stage cHL. A model for OS separating patients into low- and high-risk groups was produced using penalized Cox regression. The model was tested in an independent cohort of 78 patients enriched for treatment failure but otherwise similar to patients in a population-based registry of patients treated with ABVD. Weighted analysis methods generated unbiased estimates of predictor performance in the population-based registry.A 23-gene outcome predictor was generated. The model identified a population at increased risk of death in the validation cohort. There was a 29% absolute difference in 5-year OS between the high- and low-risk groups (63% v 92%, respectively; log-rank P < .001; hazard ratio, 6.7; 95% CI, 2.6 to 17.4). The predictor was superior to the International Prognostic Score and CD68 immunohistochemistry in multivariate analyses.A gene expression-based predictor, developed in and applicable to routinely available FFPET biopsies, identifies patients with advanced-stage cHL at increased risk of death when treated with standard-intensity up-front regimens.

The Hunger Games Hair: Behind-the-Scenes Secrets
Linda Flowers, the lead hair designer for the hit book-turned-movie reveals how she perfected everything from Katniss' side braid to Effie's Capitol-friendly dye job.
By Kate Schweitzer
Even before Lenny Kravitz was cast as Cinna, the assigned stylist to Katniss, fans were abuzz about the character's look. For Flowers, one of her best decisions was to step away and put the wigs down. "We tried a few things at first, like gold pomade that looks like gold shimmer on the hair," she says. "He's probably going to wear it at his concert, but it wasn't right. After a few attempts, it was obvious: Keep the hair simple." The only adornment was a brush of gold eyeliner, which Flowers says was perfect for the serious character.

i was born in a cross fire hurrican
and I howled at my ma in the driving rain
but its all right now matter of fact its a gas etc
I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
but its all right etc
I was (drowned) I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled (Reference to cruifiction?)
I frowned at a crumb of a crust of bread
I was (drowned) with a spike right through my head

About this Working Group
After studying the theme of globalization over the past two years, the group will move on to a renewed focus on the conceptualization of gender. This requires a stronger emphasis on the context and the concrete local manifestations of gender issues. The aim of the Working Group is to link the concept and the conceptualization of gender to the academic discourse and policy discourse in other fields. A range of papers is planned that deal with the conceptualization of gender, not only from a policy perspective, but also from a theoretical and a more transformative point of view. Contributions will address gender relations in different social and cultural spheres, different economic spheres, in both formal and informal institutions, and in different geographical areas.
In order to develop a common vision on gender-related topics within Europe and with partners in the South, the group would like to invite EADI members to participate in the Gender and Development Working Group. The group intends to establish a database of members that provides an overview of research activities and expertise and also facilitates communication and the preparation of seminars. The long-term aim is to make use of possibilities for conducting common research projects at EU level (e.g. under the 7th EU Framework Programme, Marie Curie Call for Actions) and for writing joint publications in the EADI book series or journals. Interested members should indicate their status (MA/PhD), affiliation, research/policy focus and fields of expertise. Please write to gender_development(AT)eadi.org if you would like to be added to the member list.

text: Man pleads not guilty to killing, cooking wife Share This: AP 11/22/2012 3:23:00 AM (AP) Man pleads not guilty to killing, cooking wifeVISTA, Calif.A 68-year-old man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to murdering his wife after police found her severed head in a freezer and her body parts cooking on the stove at their Oceanside home.Frederick Hengl looked frail as he entered his plea, and his lawyer has requested he receive medical attention, according to U-T San Diego ( http://bit.ly/10vcz5L).Police said they responded to neighbors' complaints about a foul odor coming from the couple's two-bedroom, bungalow-style house Friday morning.The first officer entered the home through a window and saw three pans of meat cooking on the stove that turned out to be parts of the victim, 73-year-old Anna Faris.It's believed Faris was killed sometime in November. Authorities have not yet determined how she died.There were numerous pieces of freshly cut bone found around the home, said Deputy District Attorney Katherine Flaherty. A meat grinder, a saw, a boning knife and other cutting materials were also in the house.Flaherty said there was no evidence of cannibalism.Neighbor Erick Chavez told U-T San Diego that the stench from the house grew unbearable after someone placed a fan in one of the home's windows. The odor had lingered for more than a week.Hengl remained jailed on $5 million bail. An effort to leave a phone message for his public defender Wednesday night was unsuccessful.___Information from: U-T San Diego, http://www.utsandiego.com

Rebound Reviews: "Wild Things"
The most highly publicized aspect of the film is its nearly exploitative approach to sexuality. It is at once sexy and problematic in its depiction of lesbianism. The infamous threesome scene sizzles, but it also features Sam egging the girls on, indicating that their kissing (and more) is for his pleasure, not theirs.
In another scene, Kelly and Suzie fight viciously (in a pool, no less), and then embrace passionately. Unfortunately, Duquette is lurking in the bushes and taping the action (because he is supposedly investigating), thus inserting the male gaze directly into a moment that otherwise only involves the two women.
The Kelly/Suzie relationship is the most ambiguous part of the movie. It is implied, at least until the shocker at the end of the film, that both are acting under Sam's authority, especially the lovesick and confused Kelly. Yet there is clearly an attraction between the two women, evidenced by the pool scene (neither one was aware of Duquette's presence with the camera). Unfortunately, this attraction is always framed in relation to a male character.
Part of the issue at hand is Kelly's character. She's presented as a vapid, wishy-washy girl, hopelessly in love with Sam and willing to go along with anything he says. Sam actually describes her this way when professing his innocence to Det. Perez, claiming with all the guidance counselor professionalism he can muster that Kelly is a "sexually confused, angry young girl."
Kelly is the source of a great deal of humor in the film (upon loading a "dead" body in the back of her SUV, she proclaims valley-girl style, "Mom would kill me if she knew I took the truck!") and a great deal of its sex appeal as well. (Outside of the James Bond canon, it'd be difficult to name another film that features its heroine half-naked and soaked for such a huge portion of its running time.)
Despite its problems, the film is enjoyable in a trashy, guilty pleasure sort of way. And thankfully, the female characters actually aren't as subordinate or stupid as they first appear. In fact, it is "simple" Suzie who masterminds her own plot in an out-of-nowhere twist that adds a welcome dimension to the narrative. It's always nice to see a little girl power winning out in the end.
The acting is mostly excellent. Denise Richards is certainly playing to her type, though Kelly is really little more than eye candy. Neve Campbell fares better as the more-than-meets-the-eye Suzie, and plays the dual role beautifully. Bacon and Dillon are perfect as the slippery cons playing authority figures. It's quite fun to watch accomplished performers create characters within characters, and they handle it masterfully here.
Similarly, the production values are fantastic, depicting each of the contrasting worlds (the swamp, the town, etc.) with a mix of sweeping panoramas and sweaty close-ups, giving substance to the heat that permeates the film. The aforementioned soundtrack is also fantastic, mixing late '90s hits and Clinton's funky score. The whole affair has the aesthetic of a Chris Isaak music video (but with more alligators).
Overall, Wild Things is a delightfully trashy, exploitative thriller. Like Basic Instinct before it, it's sexy, stereotypical and yet somehow manages to ride the fine line between camp and quality. It deserves a place on the movie night play list, if not a permanent spot in your DVD collection.
Watch the trailer for Wild Things below:

I've seen this primer recommended dozens of times through Pinterest and magazines alike ("top 100 beauty products" and the like). I was curious to know what the hype was all about so I was pretty excited to get a free sample in a Smashbox starter pack.
But this stuff is just disappointing. The formula is way too greasy, it does nothing for my make-up, and at nearly $50 CAN for a full tube it's an expensive mistake to make. Despite Smashbox having a reputation for a variety of great primers I can't say I was very impressed with the original Photo Finish Primer.
Too greasy. Not enough longevity. Too expensive.
An overall lackluster performance by Smashbox.

Everytime I use this I break out horribly. I also read someone's review on here that this balls up when they put their makeup powder on, it happened to me as well with foundation. I use Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation and it flakes off and balls up and just doesn't seem to click with that foundation. I've tried using a lot of product and a little and both times I didn't notice a difference. Makeup still settled into my pores/lines,still got oily; didn't do what it claims. Sadly, this didn't work out for me as hard as I tried to like it and make it work for me. Will be returning soon.

It does the job, but its just ok. I found it did make my make up last longer, but not that much, and i found that i needed to use a lot of it which i wasn't a fan of.
It is good and i see why a lot of people like it, it just wasn't right for me, but who knows it could work for you. :)

I tried this as a sample before I committed. A lot of people I talk to don't like this primer because of the texture, so it would be wise to try it before buying. It feels silky to me. As far as its quality, I've noticed a huge difference in the way my make up looks. I definitely have a more flawless finish when I use the primer and set with powder. It also makes my make up stay on a lot longer.

I really do love this primer! I heard about it through missglamorazzi who swears by it. I got it in the smashbox try it kit as a mini size. It is quite a small size but I hardly needed any product at all so it lasted me quite a long time. After I finished that off I immediately went and bought the full sizeable first I used to think that it was a ridiculous price for a face primer, but once i figured out how long it lasts I realized that for how much you get it's a reasonable price. I love this primer because it really does keep my face makeup on all day long. My makeup used to be gone by the end of the day all of the time until I got this primer. Now I never have to worry about having to make trips to the bathroom for touch ups!

This is my favorite face primer! I've lost track of how many times I've repurchased it. I gave it an overall 4 due to the price. $36 is pricey for a product. It's a 4 for packaging, but I like the way it's packaged compared to a pump where you can't get as much out. The plastic is a little stiff which makes it a bit tricky to squeeze everything out. My face has a tendency to be dry and need moisturizer when I put my makeup on, but then get oily through the day. This product helps my makeup go on very smoothly and not have the little flakes from my face being dry. I absolutely adore this product!

This was a bad primer. I meant real BAD. I had high expectations for it but it was so frustrated when I purchase it said reduces the appearance of pores and it has good reviews on it by the beauty gurus from YouTube. It was so disappointing when I tried it did not prolong my foundation. It made my pores a lot noticeable and my foundation didn't stay long compared when I'm not wearing any primer. I would definitely not repurchase this especially for $42.

NC30. This stuff's amazing. It goes on thick but not greasy and smoothes out my pores, blemishes, and fine lines. Applying liquid foundation is a piece of cake with this primer underneath; it just glides over and blends smoothly - it's much easier to achieve an even skin tone while using this primer. I've worn it all day and it's lasted.

Horrific TragedyToday, something horrific happened earlier. Some of you might have already know this but for those who still don't since its been all over the news since the morning. On Friday December 14, 2012 in Newtown Connecticut, a gunman in which was identified as Adam Lanza, went to the school named Sandy Hook Elementary, went to a classroom, fired and killed 20 children, killed 6 adults, his mother and finally himself. His mother was first to die.
Investigators are saying that he killed his mother first, took her car along with 3 guns in which the mother purchases, went to the school and began his senseless rampage. But others are saying that he went to the school fully loaded and armored, went to the school, shot his mother and killed the students and went to the office, killed 6 adults, including the principle and finally himself.
The students were between the ages of 5-10, Pre-K and 4th grade. It...was unfair. The fucked up part was that it was two weeks away from Christmas, they were all h

Time Traveling Kids of the Mane Six! Ch. 21
Chapter 21: What are you? (First draft. Will be re-edited)
Flora opened the bedroom door with a deep caution that she had not felt in a very long time. Zecora's deflection of her questions were suspicious enough, but when she entered the room and her eyes connected with the twins', her caution grew into fear.
Cherry's bouncy magenta hair now looked gangly and worn. Berry looked like he hadn't gotten enough rest, but his eyes remained fixated on Radiance, who was still asleep and recovering. She had been through a lot, but now she finally looked peaceful for the first time since she had arrived. Despite the despairing news they had heard not too long ago, both looked up and smiled lightly at the green pegasus mare as she closed the door behind her. Cherry motioned for Flora to speak quietly so that they did not disturb Radiance.
"Flora," she whispered, genuinely happy to see her friend again, "you made it back."

Chapter 22: Is there a doctor in the house? (Rough draft. Will be eventually re-written)
Tempest and Rainbow Dash soared high into the snow-capped mountains as they overlooked the now speck-sized Ponyville in the distance. Wherever she was taking him, she wanted them to be alone. Already the temperature was beginning to drop, and he could feel the light touch of tiny snowflakes shower his face as they rocketed to their destination. Not a word had been spoken the entire trip, but when the two had passed through a thick fog that blanketed the valley of the peaks, Tempest's keen eyes spotted a massive mountain that towered above all the rest surrounding it.
'That must be where we're going,' he thought to himself as he followed her lead. 'If Berry were here, he'd probably joke that she's taking me out of town to kill me instead of race me. Can't really say this place doesn't fit that description.'
Shaking his head, he trie

Chapter 20: Meet your Maker (Rough draft. Will be eventually re-written)
As she passed the final green remains of Everfree Forest on the way to Twilight Sparkle's home, a disguised Andromeda took a long, deep breath and closed her eyes. For a moment, the world around her was blocked out, giving her time to think for those precious few seconds. If anypony were to tell her that she would not only successfully time travel, but also meet her own mother in the past, she would have called them crazy. And yet, now here she was, alone with her thoughts and readying herself to explain everything to the one mare in the world that she didn't want to admit defeat to. While Andromeda seemingly glided as she, Tempest, and Bismarck made their way to the house, Bismarck began to observe her odd behavior. With her new red and black appearance, she certainly looked like another pony, but there was something about her now that made her act like it as well. Bismarck couldn't put

Chapter 19: Apologies and Potions (Rough draft. Will be eventually re-written)
Bismarck walked towards Zecora's room with two drinks in hoof. While Zecora and Andromeda prepared a way for Andromeda to go into town without being noticed, he made his way to Berry, who was sitting by the room where Radiance lay, in case she needed something. It was his turn to take care of their friend while the others were busy, so Cherry slept on some floor cushions until it was hers. Bismarck handed Berry the soda and sat by his friend.
"Ah brought you a drink and something fer yer nose," Bismarck said sheepishly. "Ah'm really sorry about all that. Ah don't know what got into Tempest, but whatever it was, he was beginnin' to scare me."
"Yeah," Berry replied as placed the ice pack onto his nose's broken ridge, "me too. I know you didn't mean it, Biz. We're cool."
Bismarck smiled.

Chapter 18: Who Are You? (VERY rough first draft. Will be re-written in the future)
Flora continued to fly high above Ponyville, using the white pillowy clouds as cover from the curious eyes below. For two hours she had searched high and low for the foals, in and outside of the small town, but still she found no sign of them. Desperation began to settle upon her like a cold frost when she realized that her only sister could be lost, or worse, hurt from the storm and the fear of that possibility forced her to move quicker and look harder.
"Come on, Peach," she whispered as she landed on the soft ground. "Where are you?"
Flora's turquoise eyes continued to scour her surroundings for the tenth time, but the location of the kids eluded her. Her subconscious and heart rattled with anxiety. Her legs shook in panic until her body finally collapsed onto the cloud she stood on, shuddering lightly as she lay. Buried beneath her forearms, Flora's head

BlackIrisBalloon's Very Basic Guide to VoiceActingBlackIrisBalloon's Very Basic Guide to Voice Acting (For Bronies)
Most fans who contribute to the brony fandom do so through art, animations or music. Some Bronies like me, who have no drawing skills and equipment, no money for good Video editing software, and a very limited knowledge of music theory, still want to give back to the brony community. Another way to contribute is through voice acting in the works created by others. Voice acting is a very fun way to bring life to the various pony related works, whether you choose to portray a main character, or an OC.
Now, I'm not that great at guide-making, but I will leave my contact info so you can message me for any questions.
Tools and Materials needed:
• A good quality Microphone
o Microphone Pop Filter
• A recording program
• Basic level acting skills
The first thing to do if you really want to voice act for the brony community is to get the proper equipment. Good quality microphones
The Tickle War of the Two Apple BrothersIt was the start of wintertime in Equestria, especially in Ponyville. Pegasi were shaking clouds outside to make it snow, Unicorns were freezing the water to solid ice in the ponds, and Earth ponies were struggling to harvest their crops if any. This was especially true for Sweet Apple Acres, owned by Applejack herself. She just had two young colts before the current time, named Bucky and Bismarck. The two young colts were in their room watching their mom, aunt Applebloom, and Uncle Macintosh doing some last minute apple bucking, to get enough food for the winter.
"They look so busy...", Bismarck said as he watched their family working. Bismarck was the elder colt of the two brothers. He had an orange coat with dark-brownish-orange mane and tail. He had triangular freckles just like his mother and his uncle, not to mention his granny smith apple colored eyes that he inherited from his mother. He was also just like his mother, honest, trustworthy, hard-working, and family oriented. He h
Happy Derpy Day 2013!Well folks its that time of day again. A day where we can enjoy muffins and make wall eye pictures of ourselves while watching our favorite mailmare Derpy.:iconderpyclapplz:
So go out and enjoy the day! Eat a muffin. Draw Derpy. Cosplay as her. Put a Derpy sticker on the back of the mailman's truck (that's what I would do). But also remember to have fun!
All hail our muffin princess!
How to Speak ScottishAs some of you may know, I have Scottish ancestry. So I learn as much as I can about it, as well as their phrases.
For those who may not know, Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, along with England.
But of course, some of their phrases can be a bit confusing, so here's one I've learned-
In Scotland, a Clan is an entire family, or tribe.
The Highland Games are an annual Scottish sports competition. Among the games played is the Caber Toss. The Caber is a large wooden pole, and the Caber Toss is an event that tests strength and skill. There's also dancing and bagpipe and drum competitions. During the games, men wear kilts.
The Bagpipe is a traditional Scottish musical instrument, famous all over the world.
The Kilt is a pleated skirt traditionally worn by Scottish men, usually made from tartan, a plaid material usually made from wool. Most Clan tartans are a plaid fabric with colors
Andromeda's Adventures with Flora and RadianceAndromeda set down her feather duster on the shelf, the magical glow around it fading."Mom! I'm done!" she yelled to her mother, Twilight Sparkle. "Alright," she yelled back, " drop Orion off to see Bucky and Peach Cobbler at Sweet Apple Acres and then you can.......do whatever you want to do until dinner." "OK mom," she said, adding "come on Orion." As her brother crashed down the stairs, she opened the door with her magic."Let's go." And they raced each other to Sweet Apple Acres.
Flora hummed as she transferred a rainbow orchid from pot to her garden. She said hello to the butterflies, caterpillars, bees, and other insects that called her garden home. She had just finished making the special plant food that rainbow orchids loved, and was replanting them so she could use it on them. As she poured the almost glowing mixture out of her watering can and onto the ground. "
Happy Anniversary, Shining and Cadance!Hey folks! It was one year ago today when the season 2 finale of 'A Canterlot Wedding' appears and when Shining Armor and Princess Cadance got married...the same time when Twilight's life was almost ruined thanks to the deceptive Chrysalis and how the Changelings would've taken Equestria if it weren't for the couple.

Sainsbury's pays £1 entrance, heads into ebook club
British grocery chain Sainsbury's has entered the ebook market by snapping up HMV's stake in Anobii for a nominal £1. The retailing group said that slurping HMV Group's share and investing in the business would mean it ends up with a 64 per cent stake in Anobii, which is styled as a social network for book readers as well as an …
Let's hope they do the right thing with ebooks
Free ebook with every hardcopy, or vice-versa.
If average production cost of an ebook is similar to a physical one (as we are often told) but the marginal cost of an ebook approaches zero, then bundle them.
.....part of its restructuring to focus on its core business of selling music and films in bricks-and-mortar stores.
A core business that will be nonexistent in the next 2-5 years.
Re: really.......
I really hope not. It's nice to have shops that sell things and aren't Poundstretcher or Lidl or Phones4U (who appear to have the goal of opening an outlet in every single horrific 60's concrete shopping centre in the UK).
Granted HMV are expensive and I don't shop there much but having the option is still a good thing.
Re: really.......
Unfortunately most people do not agree - they may have used HMV for a purchase 'today' (whereas you have to wait until 'next day' for Amazon etc.) but there is a lot of competition from supermarkets etc. and with iTunes etc. you can get the music / media in seconds...
I'm not saying some people do not like a 'CD" as in 'physical' media but I recon more people will be getting iTunes vouchers this Christmas - especially when Apple sort out a subscription music / media store.
Netflix / Lovefilm are already providing DVDs, BluRays and streaming media on subscription.
Pity they don't seem to have read this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/suwcharmananderson/2012/04/25/macmillans-tor-abandons-drm-other-publishers-must-follow/
So basically sell of the bits people may want to buy (or sell them check - or both) and be left with a load of expensive stores stocking physical products that are in a dying market. Nice.
Never even heard of Anobii. Maybe they should get some press coverage?
Crap names R us
Why is it that all these places have such bizarrely awful names? Anyone would think it was still the first dot-com boom.

Proper VM cost assessment is a critical element of meaningful showback and chargeback practices in a virtual data center.
Attaching real costs to computing may reduce VM sprawl and yield cost savings for businesses, but can be unpopular among business units.
There's only a handful of customers who need Linux VDI, but that doesn't change the fact that they need it. In shops that use both Linux and Windows, a unified virtualization tool from VMware and Citrix could hit the spot.
Per-user SA licensing doesn't make doing VDI or DaaS any easier for SMBs: There's still no SPLA for Windows client OSes, and the licensing changes benefit only large shops.
The per-user licensing model for SA applies only to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, which you can upgrade to from only certain versions of Windows. The perk is also available only to companies with 250+ seats, and the price of a license is still unknown.

Watch "Community Cornerstones" on County Cable Montgomery This Week!
Heritage Montgomery's documentary film, "Community Cornerstones: African American Communities in Montgomery County, Maryland" will be shown the first week of November on County Cable Montgomery (CCM): Comcast/RCN Channel 6 and Verizon Channel 30.
Between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, 40 African American churches were constructed in Montgomery County. In these cornerstones of their communities, generations of African American families created their own spiritual, social, and educational opportunities.
"Community Cornerstones," an hour-long documentary, presents reminiscences by elders from five historic African American churches. Taken together, their words explain how these communities developed, illustrate life in segregated times, and convey their pride in the accomplishments of their ancestors. Because music is such an integral part of the African American experience, choirs associated with each featured church perform on the soundtrack.
Viewing Schedule:
Wednesday, November 5 at 10pm
Thursday, November 6 at 9:30am
Friday, November 7 at 9pm
Saturday, November 8 at 9:30am and 9pm
To purchase a copy of "Community Cornerstones" and an accompanying musical CD, "Songs of Praise: The Choirs of Community Cornerstones," visit the Gift Shop page under the About Us tab above.

We are always looking for new and interesting ways to share and highlight our local history. We have added a new "Travelogue" page to our website, featuring short video clips of local historic places and we are expanding our smartphone app to make it easier to tour the county and take in the wide variety of heritage site we have to offer. Your contributions help to do all of this, and more!
