The AGS system is expected to be acquired by 14 Allies (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the United States), and then will be made available to the Alliance in the 2015-2017 timeframe. This key transatlantic procurement programme is in execution after the 14 acquisition nations signed the procurement contract at the Chicago Summit in May 2012.
The NATO-owned and -operated AGS core capability will enable the Alliance to perform persistent surveillance over wide areas from high-altitude, long-endurance, unmanned aerial platforms operating at considerable stand-off distances and in any weather or light condition. Using advanced radar sensors, these systems will continuously detect and track moving objects throughout observed areas and will provide radar imagery of areas of interest and stationary objects.
The main operating base for AGS will be located at Sigonella Air Base in Italy, which will serve a dual purpose as a NATO Joint Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (JISR) deployment base and data exploitation and training centre.
Just as NATO's Airborne Early Warning & Control (NAEW&C) aircraft – also known as AWACS – monitor Alliance airspace, AGS will be able to observe what is happening on the earth's surface, providing situational awareness before, during and, if needed, after NATO operations.
AGS responds to one of the major capability commitments of the Lisbon Summit.

i pity certain people who feels such inferiority complex toward Tessa's beauty and brilliance.
i pity certain people who feels such inferiority complex toward Tessa's beauty and brilliance.
pani, you're a treasure! I may not always understand what you are saying, but sometimes you come out with some gems ... and then there's the links to photos. Thanks!
Crazy about sports!
I agree with everything you said regarding how PCS/judging is being presently marked and the impact (for the worse, IMO) on future programs. You hit upon pretty much everything that's bugged me about the scoring. There is so much that V/M and P/B (like Carmen Ovsiannikov said, thank you for including P/B in your assessment) do that's either a lot more difficult or a lot more refined than what D/W do, but it's not taken into consideration or ignored in the marks. Once upon a time, all of these things that V/M and P/B do better were highly valued and considered necessary to make it to the top. These days, it seems like rather than being rewarded for fantastic basic skating, line, unison, extension, difficult transitions, skating close together, truly dancing together, etc. etc. etc., the teams that bother tend to end up taking a hit in their scores instead... They're penalized in a way, IMO, for doing the things they should be. I still think there are a lot of politics behind the scoring right now, but if you just look at the message behind how the programs are getting marked, the only things that count are the elements (and not even really how well you do them) and how fast you can race from one to the other. That's not what I was taught and had drummed into my head for years about what good ice dancing is. Good ice dancing is what V/M and P/B do, and it's just not getting rewarded and/or valued right now. Consequently, other teams are going to look at this, and design their programs accordingly. It's such a shame as there are some teams out there (I/K immediately springs to mind) who have the talent and ability to do the kinds of things V/M and P/B do.
Ice dance is so frustrating to me right now. I feel like everything I was taught over the years to be important is no longer so.
Was this January 18 press release ever posted here? Tessa Virtue, Scott Moir and Patrick Chan join RBC Olympians Program
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
what happened at this years 4cc reminded me so much of this http://youtu.be/o2dj8VBEicc
this is why i dont understand the people who are saying that they only stopped at the middle of the program because they know they couldnt beat d/w or some shit like that
some people are incorrigible
Here's hoping they find a big fat bubble to stay in together til worlds where no one can touch them
we shouldn't be afraid to not say "the right thing", whatever this means. And this thread is currently "The" ice dance thread of FSU and this thanks also
to your long analysis and observations.
I finally got the chance to watch both teams at 4CC (I have no speed internet where I'm staying) and, regarding the difference between the top 3 couples, which is reflected in their skating, I think it's basically a difference of cultural background. D/W, as someone pointed out in the past, are not "dancing" as V-M do. Actually I think Team DW has invented a new kind of skating, which is not "dancing" in the traditional sense, but neither pair skating or "double single skating". It's something that somewhat combine the 3 of them and plus, adds a typical American type of show which is the musical. Their programs are all very theatrical, with the only exception of the Tango FD. But theatrical in the sense of the musical, that was born in 20th century thus has all the typical features of this age. It's a rather artificial form of art, influenced by cinema, vaudeville, popular music etc, that takes elements of the tradition and see them through a modern or post-modern filter. Evident case in DW, the Bollywood OD, indian dance and culture seen from a Western point of view. Think also of "West side story", which could be an other good theme for them. It's Romeo and Juliet seen from a modern American point of view, isn't it?There is so much that V/M and P/B (like Carmen Ovsiannikov said, thank you for including P/B in your assessment) do that's either a lot more difficult or a lot more refined than what D/W do, but it's not taken into consideration or ignored in the marks.
Other than this syncretism, the musical is based on "colorfoul" entertainement with simple storylines and simple, sometimes stereotypical characters.
I think all that I said can be applied to Davis and White's style. In some way, they even embody the American style of single skating, which is explosive, athletic, extrovert, often theatrical. You can see this even in Gymnastic (the opposition between American and Russian school).
In DW case, what you see is what you get. In their FD's, besides, they tend to express emotional outbursts (i.e., pop music), more than feelings (classical music).
one of the reasons why Davis and White are so loved in their country, is that they embody American culture, so the audience unconsciously see the reflection of their background in them. Culture is everything!
I don't think I'm offending Davis and White if I say that Tessa and Scott's skating has more depth, in the sense that you feel there's something beyond
their movements, something that misteriously reach our intellectual sphere and aechstetic perception. Needless to say, they are more "European", a certain vein of European culture, the nostalgic and contemplative elegance, the loyalty to tradition. All this comes from Zoueva's influence, of course, but
mainly from their own personalities I think, and especially from Tessa, whom I consider "the second choreographer" of the team. the mark of her exquisite taste and brilliant intelligence is evident in each of their programs. I want to add, after watching Carmen at 4cc, that she is not only an extraordinary beautiful and smart woman, she's also one of the bravest and strongest athlete I've ever known.
Pechalat-Bourzat, well, they're French (: if you see some movies from France or take a look at some dress shops in Paris, you'll understand why they are so original, sharp, sometimes bizzarre in chosing their themes. It's part of their background too. Throughout the 20th century, France was avant-garde in many branches of culture and arts. the French have a special tendency of seeing reality from a sharp, sarcastic, non-romantic and often pessimistic point of view.
I know I've simplified much and maybe in the future I'll add more precise remarks about this subject (:
Also I concur there's no rambling that I see here, just interesting conversations. So everybody continue "rambling."
Huh? How can you even tell she was crying?
Scott says "awesome" or something like it at the end.

Reception to follow.
Julia Serano is a writer, performer, activist and biologist. She is the author of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity (Seal Press, 2007), a collection of personal essays that reveal how misogyny frames popular assumptions about femininity and shapes many of the myths and misconceptions people have about transsexual women.

In addition to her gender-related writing and activism, Julia has a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from Columbia University, and for seventeen years worked as a researcher in the fields of genetics, developmental and evolutionary biology at UC Berkeley.

text: Well I am doing a shootout between 3 low priced caps. Solen's, Dayton's, and Jantzen. I have been using Solen's for most of my projects. I would like to run sonicaps, but they are cost prohibitive for me. I will run each for a week before considering posting any conclusions. I have been fairly pleased with the Solen's, but I have also used an active crossover with the best results.


text: The thing that sticks out to me (again) is that he apparently didn't even stop to consider his guest might be the one using the bathroom, nor did he think of her safety. If he did think of her safety, he would have *verified* she was safe before going after whomever was in the bathroom. That IMO indicates a very self-absorbed ego. Not that I think that in and of itself should convict him of any crimes but it makes me think he is a bit of a jerk.


text:
Below is what the original crossover looked like.
Here is what they currently look like.
I have a few more resistors to wire and solder in place, long story . I also have the new connections to install and tweeter leads. Overall I am pretty happy with my first crossover rebuild and I can not thank VR3 enough for all the help. Thanks VR3!

I would like to have an iPad mini for my college classes and entertainment. I need a device that is flexible enough to help me take class notes and reach my media archive virtually anytime.

I would love a new iPad with retina display. Having put 2 kids through college and the last one starting next year...just can't afford one. What a thrill it would be to have one. Thank you
ipad mini because i already have the iphone 5 :P
I would be happy with any of the devices.
Doing a lot of work with cars and various other appliance repairs, electronic repairs I could benifit from owning an iPad or ipad mini. I view a lot of live engine data in addition to schematics, flow charts on my iPhone 4S and it makes it a pain viewing a lot of technical information on my iPhone. I usually end up going to my desktop machine at times to view certain things I need to do the job right. The end result is wasted time from going to my desktop back outside or whatever I may be working on. The screen size on an iPad would be very helpful for me and not wasting so much time going back and fourth between a repair job and to my desktop
Love to have the iPad Mini up here in Canada. Thanks Eh!
iPad mini, so that I can give my mother my iPad 2 so she can fully enjoy it.

Not one, not two, but three different shapes get brought into the latest Easy Livin (with inspiration courtesy of Hendrix).
Choose from a more blunted freestyle shape in the 52, a pointier freestyle design with the 58, or the stock and sturdy all-around feel of the 55. Squeezebox and Hi-Voltage Jumper Cables combine for a highly maneuverable, stable, and snappy experience.

A blend of camber and rocker performance, Flying V™ offers the best of both worlds. Rocker overall, including between and outside your feet, enhances playfulness and float. Underneath your feet, subtle camber zones focus edge-control for crisp snap, added pop, and powerful turns.
Design Features
- Shape: Twin Shape
- Flex: Directional Flex
- Core: Super Fly II™ Core , Dualzone™ EGD™
- Base: Sintered WFO
- Fiberglass: Dual Density Triax™ Fiberglass
- Sidewalls: Frostbite Edges
The Channel
The Channel is snowboarding's ultimate connection, offering the fastest, easiest way to mount your bindings with the most stance options possible. It's also compatible with all major binding companies, so why settle for anything less? NEW for 2014, all boards featuring The Channel are backed by a three-year warranty.
This patent-pending technology improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable, and easier to manipulate.
Jumper Cables Hi-Voltage
Jumper Cables on the NEW Process V-Rocker, NEW Déjà Vu V-Rocker, Blunt, Hate, and Social are ultra-light carbon stringers that radiate energy outward from your feet towards the tip and tail. Beyond adding amplitude to your ollies, they also create more snap when powering through turns. For maximum flight, the Jumper Cables Hi-Voltage on the Joystick, Hero, Hero Limited, and Lip-Stick use carbonated rods for ultra-electrified pop and performance.
Ellip Kicks
This elliptical tip and tail shape promotes pop while providing added float and clearance when riding pow and variable conditions.
A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.
Infinite Ride™
This Burton-exclusive technology allows us to maximize pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Springloaded, Rocker, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
ARTIST: Jimi Hendrix Collaboration [www.jimihendrix.com]
Ultimate Set-up
For the best performance, ride these together

I'll be less cryptic :D, I have heard many Bose accoustimass systems in house and in store. I heard the surround bar at last years polkfest, hooked up to a psw404 (not exactly a known powerhouse sub) and what I would call a horrendous room for a demo (certainly not ideal). That notwithstanding, it still sounded surprisingly good.
add in the fact that I have never heard a Bose Accoustimass I liked, makes my choice easy.

Best Uses
- Early Tomato Planting
I saw these tomato halo's last season but was skeptical so I passed on them. This year I'm in a new house with a new garden with basically virgin soil. I decided to give the tomato halo's a try. I read that the color red attracts the sun to the root of the plant which would encourage growth. Well let me tell you, it worked. I planted 9 plants the last week of April which is two weeks earlier than usual. I did use an expandable fabric net to cover the young plants at night. I uncovered it every morning until May 1st. My plants grew so fast & were dark green. My husband had to trim the plants because they were almost ten feet tall by the end of June. I did use tomato fertilizer spikes once which encouraged growth. I got hundreds of tomatoes but the quality was poor. Many were rotted, split skins, and odd shapes.I attribute this to a lot of rain, & very hot temperatures. The tomatoes that were red & ripe with no defects were delicious! But no complaints about the tomato halo's They did a good job. I would recommend them for sure.

Even before the wrath of Hurricane Sandy devastated parts of New York with wind and water, I knew there was going to be trouble.
I heard through the grapevine from a friend of a friend in New York that discussions were under way about canceling the New York City Marathon. I thought it was crazy — Sandy was still churning in the Atlantic, days away from landfall anywhere near New York.
Others likely thought the same thing. The marathon would go on as planned, reported the media. Even after Sandy ravaged the boroughs of New York City — flooding streets, leveling homes and other buildings — organizers planned to go forward with the 26.2 mile race that was to begin on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and continue through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx before ending in Central Park.
On Friday afternoon, Nov. 2 — less than two days before the race was to take place, two days after the race expo had opened, and, according to the New York Times, after about 40,000 of the 47,500 registered runners had already arrived in New York — the race was canceled.
Marathon training is an enormous commitment of time and energy. You can't just hop off the couch and run (or even walk) 26.2 miles. Although you may not drop dead like Phidippides did when he ran the distance from Marathon to Athens, it's not unimaginable.
Even the elite runners have to specially train to run a marathon, and for the rest of us amateurs, it's at least a four or five month regimen.
I've said that I think nearly anyone can run a marathon, but you need to put in the time — increasingly longer runs combined with speed work, nutrition, etc. If you can't run the race, for whatever reason, it's an enormous disappointment.
Many critics of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's ultimate decision said it was the lateness of the decision that was the problem, and I agree completely. If Bloomberg and New York Road Runners President and CEO Mary Wittenberg, who was the race director, had made the decision earlier in the week, many of the international and other out-of-town athletes would have been disappointed but grateful to have avoided the trip.
However, no matter what happened, it was a no-win situation. This wasn't a community 5K race. The New York marathon is one of the largest races in the world and it's been held every year since 1970, even after the events of Sept. 11 left the city traumatized.
"What was happening now is that people were criticizing runners and there was really a dynamic that was really getting to be a really unhealthy dynamic and a perception about runners and marathoners and people coming here that was not healthy," Wittenberg was quoted as saying in an interview with NY1.
In the end, I think it was the runners themselves who turned it into a win-win situation. Not the "Race to Recover" — as the marathon, if it had taken place, was being informally called — but with their efforts to make a difference, to show their compassion for the victims, and to give whatever they could.
On what would have been marathon weekend, hordes of runners volunteered time, energy, and money providing relief to victims.
Sally Cohen Stilwell, of Staten Island, had trained for months and raised $2,500 for the charity "Stupid Cancer." Stilwell said she sobbed with emotion at the expo on Friday afternoon, feeling like she needed to do something after hearing the announcement about the race's cancellation.
"That's when I decided I wanted to get supplies to my former high school which was an evacuation shelter and I mapped out three loops from my home to the school to donate items for the displaced kids. I managed to deliver crayons and coloring books and teddy bears and hats and socks, all while covering 26.2 miles. It left me feeling fulfilled finally," Stilwell wrote in an email.
Other runners delivered food, cleaned basements, moved furniture.
And many also banded together and ran in Central Park on Sunday morning.
Elvia Negron-Perez of the Bronx was planning to run her 50th marathon in New York that Sunday. Instead, the veteran marathoner, who is on a quest to run in all 50 states, channeled much of her energy into helping with relief efforts.
"I donated on Saturday, food, shoes, clothes to the American Red cross, and of course money ... and I ran Sunday. I feel it was the right thing to cancel, but they should have done it sooner. When they said the marathon would go on, I thought, well okay ... and I embraced the 'Race to Recover' that it was being called. Since I run and raise money all the time anyway, this seemed okay ... and I would run and help my city," Negron-Perez said.
On Sunday morning she rode the train from the Bronx to Manhattan and ran. "Running in Central Park... all of NYC and the World is here," she wrote on Facebook when she arrived at the informal starting line.
The immediately organized "Run Anyway NYC Marathon," promoted through a Facebook page, attracted thousands. The run basically followed the original route of the New York City Marathon — multiple loops of Central Park. It gave those who were running for a cause the chance to publicly support that cause, as well as to aid the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The organizers printed T-shirts, arranged for donations to be made to Sandy victims, and set out to do what they do best.
The final instructions from the "Run Anyway NYC Marathon" Facebook page read as follows:
"We are not running for ourselves, we are running for our causes. Should you come across vocal people who do not support what we're doing, please DO NOT respond to them. Be a class act and if necessary explain that you're running for those who are hurting from this disaster or for your own cause. Continually point the attention to where it needs to be — back to those in need.
Do not go for a personal best time. Our goal is to run the miles. The course is tighter than we all planned now so be wary of the people running along side and with you. And please run in the running lanes whenever possible. Be kind and helpful to all those running.
Thanks for being a part of it and running along side us! Remember to have fun and run with a smile because you are not running for yourselves. You are running for a cause. When we run for a cause, we need to RunAnyway."
They made it clear that it was not a race, and in the end, even before they reached the finish line, all of the runners were the winners.

The Need
Jon and Suzy are a newly married couple in their early thirties. Suzy is pregnant with the couple's first child and they have just recently bought a new home. They know that they need life insurance coverage, but are not sure where to begin. Jon and Suzy want a product with a death benefit that can help cover their financial obligations should something unexpected happen. In addition, they want a product that is suited for their long-term goals, such as sending their child to college and perhaps fulfilling the dream of one day owning a boat.
The Solution
After meeting with their professional life insurance agent, Jon and Suzy determined that a variable universal life (VUL) policy may help achieve their future needs. Jon and Suzy also understand the risk and return potential associated with the investment options. The flexible options the VUL provides will allow them to change the amount of coverage or premium payment schedules* to help accommodate some of their future goals. The VUL's subaccount investment options, ranging from conservative to aggressive, provide potential cash value accumulation that they may access through tax advantaged loans and withdrawals**.
Variable Universal Life and You
This is just one example of how variable universal life insurance can work for you. Your life insurance agent can help you decide what product would be appropriately suited for your unique situation. Life insurance is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. To learn more about how a VUL can help you, contact a financial professional today!
The preceding scenario is intended to provide a generic summary of the features and benefits of variable universal life insurance (VUL) policies. Please contact your financial professional for a prospectus that contains information about VULs including fees, investment objectives, surrender charges, risks, expenses and other important information about VULs. If you are considering purchasing a VUL, please carefully consider all these important factors and read the prospectus carefully before investing. VULs product subaccounts are subject to market risk and may lose value.
*Fluctuations in performance and/or policy charges may require the payment of additional premium payments to keep a policy in force.
**Distributions such as loans and withdrawals can only be made if the policy has been in force long enough to accumulate sufficient value.

Think of it as the healthy aging equivalent of "Let's Make a Deal."
What exactly would you do to get those extra couple years of living hidden behind door No. 2?
Would you be willing to sleep in more to add another two years? Maybe floss more often in exchange for another year of living? How about having sex more often to extend your life expectancy? Is that something you might be interested in?
As the Baby Boom generation ages and our society in general gets older, there has been a greater focus on not only living longer lives, but also living healthier lives longer. As CNN health chief Sanjay Gupta says in his book "Chasing Life," nobody wants to die tomorrow, but nobody wants to live forever either.
While improving your health may seem like a lot of work, especially if those New Year's resolutions already seem like distant memories, there are some simple ways to extend your life and make it a better one in the process.
Quit Smoking: +4 to 8 Years
According to a Cambridge University study of more than 22,000 people, if you cut out the cigarettes, you could add four to five years to your life.
But that benefit could go up depending on your age. A study in the American Journal of Public Health found that female smokers who quit by the age 35 could extend their lifespan by 6.1 to 7.7 years.
However, even those who are 65 and older can add years to their life by quitting.
"What's unique about this study is that it gives some hope even to 65-year-olds who smoke," said Donald Taylor Jr., PhD, at Duke University in Durham, N.C. "A man would add between 1.4 and 2 years to his life. That's a tangible benefit you can get even late in life from stopping smoking."
And that doesn't count all the time you'll get back once you stop sneaking outside for those regular smoke breaks.
Cut Out Fast Food: +4 Years
Just about everything that associated with fast food -- name it: the fat, the cholesterol and the pounds -- is bad for you.
One of the keys to living a long, healthy life is cutting down your calorie intake. Just ask Leonard P. Guarente, a professor of biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Guarente, who's spent years researching issues surrounding aging, tested out a low-calorie diet on mice, leading to conclusions that could just as easily benefit humans.
"The diet is not only making them live longer, it's mitigating diseases of aging," he said. Basically, mice on a calorie-restricted diet don't get sick.
Think about that the next time you're jonsing for a burger and fries around lunchtime.
Get Moving: +2 to 4 Years
Even a little bit of exercise is better than none. Remember that Cambridge Study that showed the benefit of quitting smoking? It also said that a moderate increase in exercise is worth three years of added life. That means about an hour a day for people with office jobs or just 30 minutes a day if your job keeps you more active.
Walking alone can add three years to your life as it cuts down on stress, can lower your cholesterol and help you reach a healthier weight.
Running is even better. Dutch and Australian researchers found that women who run for 30 minutes, five days a week can live two to four years longer and live one to three more years free of heart disease.
Shed Those Pounds: +3 to 4 Years
This one probably goes without saying, but deserves restating after recent research from the National Cancer Institute showed that being overweight can increase the risk of death by 20 to 40 percent.
Other research has linked being obese to high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Researchers at the University of Alabama discovered that maintaining a body-mass index of 25 to 35, which is considered overweight to obese, can shorten your life by up to three years.
And Dr. Robert Butler, president of the nonprofit International Longevity Center - USA, an affiliate of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, goes even further. Butler says that obesity alone can shed up to four years off your life.
Floss Your Pearly Whites: +6 Years
It's amazing that something so simple could add so many years onto your life. It's also amazing that so few people apparently take advantage of this benefit.
According to studies done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 5 to 10 percent of Americans are regular flossers. That's important because those same studies showed common gum problems such as gingivitis and peridontitis lead to a 23 to 46 percent higher rate of death.
Gum tissues are common sites for inflammation, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Flossing regularly is vital because it removes the bacteria that cause that inflammation.
"Poor oral hygiene and particularly increased tooth loss are important indicators of your health," said Dr. Michael R. Roizen in his book "RealAge" when talking about the CDC study. "The fewer teeth you have, the greater your risk of gum infections."

Hi folks,
This is a pair of RTA 12C's that I just finished a bit of work on; these belong to forum member filmfreak1138. He wanted some sonic improvements to these. The original vinyl veneer and grill cloth is still in good shape, so it was decided to leave it as-is.
These speakers received the following:
1. Crossovers (all 4) upgraded with a ClarityCap SA/AXON mix.
2. New, larger, taller, heavier bases built. Each base has 4 floor spikes on the corners.
3. New binding posts.
4. New wiring.
5. T-nut and metal screw driver and crossover mounting hardware.
6. Installation of 3-layer Sonic Barrier.
7. Replacement of original top crossover-to-enclosure connectors with newer, better ones.
8. Dynamat the driver baskets and JBWeld the driver magnets. Dynamat the passive radiators.
9. Give everything a good cleaning.
10. Re-do the finish on the grill logos.
11. Install RD0194's.
In the course of the work, I found (and re-did) several mis-drilled mounting holes for things, and one solder joint that was literally hanging on by less than a hair.
Okay, the details....and for some reason I took terrible pictures this time.

Wal-Mart, Again
Posted by Bruce Robinson in Rohnert Park , protest , policy , planning , news , government , food , families , economy , current events , corporate responsibiliyt , business
Round Two in the fight over expanding Wal-Mart in Rohnert Park is on the city council agenda tonight, a debate that can be summarized as lower prices for consumers in the short term versus constraints on local economic growth in the long term.
While much of the discussion around the proposal Wal-Mart Expansion has focused on its probable impact on Pacific Market, the neighborhood grocery considered mostly likely to fail if Wal-Mart adds groceries, Ben Boyce of the Accountable Development Coalition notes that Rohnert Park's discount grocery shoppers already have options nearby.
One of the most compelling arguments against the Wal-Mart application was an economic analysis by SSU professor Robert Eyler that detailed job losses and other negative effects. Boyce notes that it also refuted the claim that increased sales at Wal-Mart would generate additional sales taxes for Rohnert Park.
Denny Rosatti (left), Executive Director of Sonoma County Conservation Action, which also opposes the Wal-Mart application, says it would have to be changed significantly to merit their support instead.

WCF – Windows Communication Foundation
WCF is the latest technology from Microsoft for building services. In this article by Mike Liu, we will explain what WCF is, and what it is composed of. We will also explain various .NET runtimes, .NET frameworks, Visual Studio versions, the relationships between them, and what is needed to develop or deploy WCF services. You will see some code snippets in this article that will help you to further understand WCF concepts, although they are not in a completed WCF project.
Let us discuss the following in detail:
- What WCF is
- Use of WCF for SOA
- WCF architecture
- Basic WCF concepts
Windows Development Using Visual Studio 2008
The development environment of choice in this article by Stefan Björnander is the Visual Studio from Microsoft. In this article we also study the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC).
- Visual Studio provides us with a few Wizards—tools that help us generate code. The Application Wizard creates an application framework (a skeleton application) to which we add the specific logic and behavior of our application.
- When developing a Windows application, the Document/View model comes in handy. The application is divided into a document object that holds the data and performs the logic, and one or more views that take care of user input and display information on the screen.
- When an event occurs (the user clicks the mouse, the window is resized) a message is sent to the application, it is caught by a view object and is passed on to the document object. There are hundreds of messages in the Windows system. However, we only catch those that interest us.
- The device context can be viewed both as a canvas to paint on and as a toolbox holding pens and brushes.
- When we finish an application, we may want it to occur in the same state when we launch it the next time. This can be archived by storing vital values in the registry.
- Serialization is an elegant way of storing and loading values to and from a file. The framework takes care of naming, opening, and closing the file, all we have to do is to fill in the unique values of the application.
- The cursor has different appearances on different occasions. There are several predefined cursors we can use.
Simplifying Parallelism Complexity in C#
In order to simplify parallelism complexities and to avoid many concurrency pains, we must use the object-oriented capabilities offered by the C# programming language and design patterns. In this article, we will drastically simplify the creation of new parallelized code avoiding some advanced concurrent programming difficulties. Reading this article by Gastón C. Hillar and following the exercises we shall :
- Learn to combine single-threaded code with multithreaded code
- Use of object-oriented design patterns to simplify the creation of parallelized code
- Solve various problems to specialize in segmentation algorithms and achieve thread affinity
- Encapsulate multithreaded algorithms to create high-performance and safer independent pieces
- Learn to avoid problems with design instead of solving them using very difficult-to-apply algorithms
Displaying SQL Server Data using a Linq Data Source
Linq to SQL is an object relational model that you can leverage in Visual Studio 2008. Your connection to SQL Server 2008 database is through a new control in Visual Studio 2008, the LinqDataSource control. This control needs a data context. The data context is provided by the Linq to SQL classes, a class generator that maps SQL server objects to the model. The class files generated support CRUD operations.
In this article by Dr. Jay Krishnaswamy, we will be adding a LinqDataSource control in Visual Studio 2008 to a ASP.NET website and configuring it by providing a data context. The data context will created using the Object Relational Designer(O/R Designer) in Visual Studio. The Linq data source is then bound to the Gridview in the Visual Studio designer.Read Displaying SQL Server Data using a Linq Data Source in full
Creating a matrix report using the Analysis Services Cube
The Analysis Services can also be configured when the SQL Server 2008 is installed. Out of the box the analysis server has no objects and you need to deploy a database to work with this service. Two previous articles described the process of creating a CUBE from scratch using the TestNorthwind database, a copy of the Northwind database. In this article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy, we will be authoring a report based on an analysis services CUBE.Read Creating a matrix report using the Analysis Services Cube in full
Measures and Measure Groups in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 1
In this two-part article by Chris Webb, we will look at measures and measure groups, ways to control how measures aggregate up, and how dimensions can be related to measure groups. In this part, will cover useful properties of measures, along with built-in measure aggregation types and dimension calculations.Read Measures and Measure Groups in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 1 in full
Debugging Multithreaded Applications as Singlethreaded in C#
In order to solve problems that arise in concurrently running threads in applications, we need new debugging techniques suitable for the new parallelism environments that occur in Visual C#. In this article by Gastón C. Hillar, we will learn many tricks and debugging procedures that will help us find solutions to multithreaded application problems and have a better understanding of the execution of parallel threads. In this article we will be performing the following exercises:
- Find out how to freeze some threads to stop concurrency and simplify the process for debugging one thread at a time
- Learn to set and control breakpoints with multithreaded applications
- Discover how to inspect values when multiple threads are accessing the variables that hold them
- Develop multithreaded applications that show partial results to help us in the debugging process
Watching Multiple Threads in C#
In order to solve problems that arise in concurrently running threads in applications, we need new debugging techniques suitable for the new parallelism environments that occur in Visual C#. In this article by Gastón C. Hillar, we will learn many tricks and debugging procedures that will help us find solutions to multithreaded application problems and have a better understanding of the execution of parallel threads. We will be performing the following exercises:
- Learn some tricks to prepare multithreaded code to simplify the debugging and troubleshooting processes
- Become skilled at watching and understanding the execution of multiple concurrent threads
