"During a visit to the Forbidden City in Beijing, I was captivated by an exquisite smell that led me by the tip of my nose to the Imperial Palace, where osmanthus bushes were in bloom. In November, the flowers exuded a strong scent of apricot and freesia. I imagined combining these blossoms with a tea from Yunnan, the most beautiful province in China... and the idea for the fragrance was born." Jean-Claude Ellena the Osmanthe Yunnan collection |

New Ubuntu 10.04 Codename: Lucid Lynx
Sorry for the late post folks.. Now its time for me to introduce Ubuntu 10.04: Lucid Lynx..
In a video message to attendees of UbuCon Atlanta, Shuttleworth said that 10.04 would be based on the GNOME 2.0 desktop and would extend the horizontal server scalability of Debian into cloud computing. Releases after Lucid Lynx would include the GNOME 3.0, which works on the desktop.
Lucid Lynx will be the third version of Long Term Support of Ubuntu version. LTS releases are supported for three years for desktops and five years for servers.
"This is something that we get by virtue of the fact that we work with free software, you just couldn't do this with proprietary software because you don't have the visibility on the planning horizon," Shuttleworth said.
"Delivering Ubuntu 10.04 as an LTS, is the definitive proof that that two-year cadence works."

Between the first injury report of the season and Head Coach Josh McDaniels' press conference Thursday, one thing is clear — Ryan Clady will see the field in Week 1.
"Clady will definitely play — no question," McDaniels said. "He's not even on the injury report. He's ready to go."
After missing training camp and the majority of the preseason, the third-year offensive lineman spent his days off over the Labor Day weekend running and working on his fitness to try to get back up to speed as soon as possible.
"I don't think you can simulate game conditioning unless you're in games," McDaniels said. "That's why we played him in Minnesota, that's why we practiced hard the last couple of days in pads and he's been in there a ton. We're trying to catch him up as quickly as we can."
The head coach said the team has no qualms about giving the tackle some rest throughout the game if he needs it, so that he can "play to his level of play and try to do it for as long as he can."
But whether Clady is at 100 percent or not, Kyle Orton is comfortable leaving his blind side protected by the 2009 Pro Bowler.
"Guys that are on the field — I have confidence in them," Orton said. "If they're ready to play, then I certainly have confidence in them. He's one of our best players and I'm not sitting back there thinking anything is coming off my left side when he's in the game."
As for Clady's counterpart on the right side of the line, Ryan Harris did not practice Wednesday and McDaniels said he didn't expect him to take the field Thursday, either. But he didn't count out the veteran from Sunday's season-opener.
"Ryan is getting better every day," McDaniels said of Harris. "We're going to give it all week and see what happens."
The Thursday injury report has been released. Darcel McBath (forearm) and Harris (ankle) did not practice for the second consecutive day. Demaryius Thomas (foot), Andre Brown (toe), Daniel Graham (chest) and Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) are listed on the injury report, but all four had full participation on Wednesday and Thursday.
For the Jaguars, kick returner Scotty McGee (shoulder) did not particpate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Running back Deji Karim (thumb) had limited participation on Wednesday and Thursday, and wide receiver Jarett Dillard (foot) joined the injury report Thursday, with limited participation.

Stand-up pouches push the retail envelope
Although Mini Chips Ahoy! is available only in a stand-up pouch the Nabisco representatives say that many of the company's products will be sold in both BIB and pouch formats. "We want to use both" says Ann Smith. Dave Smith adds "The decision depends on the type of product how it's used and for whom it's intended. We're not going to abandon our current packaging for stand-up pouches." They do admit however that Nabisco has invested in stand-up pouching machinery at several of its bakeries.
Frozen food pouch
Another resealable stand-up food pouch in the U.S. market comes from Cudahy WI-based Patrick Cudahy. Under the Heat & Eat brand the company uses a resealable pouch for 14-oz quantities of frozen sausage links patties and meatballs. The precooked and browned product can be heated in a microwave conventional oven or on the stovetop. Aimed at the home-meal replacement market these products are sold nationwide in supermarkets. Suggested retail price is $2.89 for sausage links and patties $3.29 for the meatballs. The company declined to answer any questions about the package citing competitive reasons.
Integral straw
In Ecuador Guayaquil-based Quicornac S.A. is using a stand-up pouch with an integral straw for six flavors of its Kiko®-brand childrens drink. The colorful pouches contain a back-panel graphic of a straw along with a tear notch located at one of the top corners. A three-step illustration instructs the child to grip the package at that corner and tear so that the straw pops out. That allows the child to sip the 200-mL beverage flavors. A front-panel graphic also assists consumers.
Quicornac tells PW the "Doyen"-style pouch is filled with product and a straw on a Bossar B-2000 STU/D-P horizontal form/fill/ seal machine. The company's Vinces Ecuador plant uses Bossar's duplex machine that fills at rates of 100/min 50/min from each side of the machine.
Bossar says Quicornac was the first company to commercially use the machine equipped with the drinking straw feeder and tear-notch unit. The machine uses rollstock film from Alusa (Santiago Chile) that includes a 1-mil layer of polyester and 4 mils of PE.
According to Fernanda Villacis Quicornac's marketing and international sales manager "before this package was introduced similar products were packaged in bottles or brick packs. We started with this pouch for the Kiko brand [in '98]. It's unusual because only two other companies had used it. Kids like it because it is easy to carry in a lunch box."
She says that despite "a lot of economic problems in Ecuador [the product] is [meeting] all our expectations." Individual pouches sell for the equivalent of U.S. 14¢ in chain and drug stores and supermarkets. "We sell it as a single and in a multipack of eight" she notes. The eight are reportedly shrink-wrapped in film and contained in an outer paperboard sleeve. The product requires no refrigeration. Shelf life is six months.

I've been inactive for Pokemon for over a year (like anyone cares) but I decided to try out the VGC metagame. I'm entering that at Apex 2013 since, why not? I basically just took most of my favorite Pokemon and attempted to form some solid synergy around them. I played Gen 4 for a long time, so it's basically Pokemon from that Gen adapted into VGC 2013. Don't really have the patience for long descriptions so I apologize beforehand. I did do so some digging around looking at good RMT's for some EV spreads, so I copied a lot of stuff. Preview: ight so in detail we got V Garchomp (M) @ Haban Berry Trait: Sand Veil EVs: 36 HP / 116 Atk / 4 Def / 196 SDef / 156 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Protect - Substitute Copied this set from Ray Rizzo. It basically lets me live Dragon Gem boosted Draco Meteor from Latios, plus OHKO Latios right back with Dragon Claw. It's a really good set to me, however it might seem redundant alongside Tyranitar and Scizor who both handle Latios well. Though same thing might not be said for Salamence/Hydreigon so I'll keep this set for now (it helped the guy win nationals and stuff lololol). Garchomp provides a threat to Fire types who give Scizor trouble. He's also great in Sandstorm thanks to his ability Sand Veil... which is just the most hilarious ability at times. All in all, Garchomp is my top 2 favorite Pokemon and I always loved using him. Good thing he's not banned here! Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 228 HP / 84 Def / 28 SAtk / 168 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Ice Beam - Psyshock - Helping Hand - Thunder Wave Cresselia, how I missed you! You're completely dead in singles now but here you're a monster. I honestly don't care for setting up Trick Room, but I have it here as maybe a last resort alongside Tyranitar and/or Scizor. Plus it helps against other Trick Room teams at times (dem early game predictions). With Levitate I can spam Earthquake with Garchomp, which is obviously cool. Psyshock over Psychic simply because I have Tyranitar on my team where Psyshock bypasses the SpDef boost given to my opponent Terrakion. Helping Hand is pretty filler but it helps boost Garchomp's Earthquake by 50% (as a spread move its move is decreased from 100 to 75 BP iirc correct me if I'm wrong). Changed this spread almost completely. I really did not like Trick Room for this team. It did me more harm than good. With that I changed its spread to a Calm nature spread and added Thunder Wave. Scizor (M) @ Flying Gem Trait: Technician EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - Bug Bite - Acrobatics - Protect Scizor is my absolute favorite Pokemon of all time... and every lesbian's favorite Pokemon. I literally ripped this set from Smogon. Wasn't sure if I needed the Bug Gem boost for Cresselia (considering the lack of Protect on Cress and the abundance of Protect on... everyone else, I'll double team him if I have to) or Flying Gem boosted Acrobatics considering I have Zapdos. Might need help here. For now, I have Occa Berry to take random Hidden Power Fire's and weaker, unstabbed Heat Wave's. Having a steel type is absolutely needed with all of the Draco Meteor's flying around. I made this change a while ago. Occa Berry and Superpower are both bad on Scizor. Decided to go with Acrobatics as I could not find much use of Swords Dance. Gastrodon-East (Gastrodon) (F) @ Ground Gem Trait: Storm Drain EVs: 156 HP / 68 Def / 236 SAtk / 44 SDef Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Protect - Recover - Ice Beam - Earth Power Gastrodon is actually good now. Who would have thought? Storm Drain really sold me between Swampert (originally on my Gen 4 team) and Gastrodon. Because of this Water immunity, I can now take on Rain Dance teams more effectively. Ludicolo is still REALLY HARD to fight, though. But I'm lucky to have Tyranitar on my side to take away weather when I need to. Speaking of TTar, Gastrodon does a good job in taking him out as well as Metagross, Heatran, and most Dragons. The main weakness this guy has is his overall mediocre build, both offensively and defensively. But the gem helps boost Earth Power and Recover helps gain extra survivability. With that, he's also good under Trick Room when I need it. I love this guy! Tyranitar (M) @ Passho Berry Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 44 HP / 248 Atk / 216 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Rock Slide - Superpower - Crunch - Protect EVs always let me survive unboosted Meteor Mash from Metagross and the Attack EVs are filler to give him more power. This is my number one answer to TR Chandelure especially. I always just throw him in the lead spot when I see Chandelure in team preview. Crunch for STAB against Cresselia + mentioned Chandelure. I have Fire Punch instead of Low Kick to do more damage to both Scizor and Ferrothorn, plus I feel I have plenty of answers for opposing Tyranitars anyway. This guy is especially helpful vs Thundurus, as there isn't a move Tyranitar cares for when fighting him other than obscure Focus Blast and Grass Knot. Chople Berry proved to be ineffective. Passho Berry in conjunction with Zapdos's Volt Switch has been doing well for me, especially if I make a misprediction and get Water Gem Hydro Pump'd. Also changed the EV spread to actually outspeed most Rotom-W. Zapdos @ Choice Specs Trait: Pressure EVs: 204 HP / 164 SAtk / 140 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Volt Switch - Heat Wave - Hidden Power [Flying] Zapdos is the final member. I chose the Choice Specs moveset because I did not yet have a member with immediate offensive pressure. Volt Switch in particular is very interesting when leading. It's a neat tool to push momentum and get a desirable matchup early game. Specs Thunderbolt 2HKO's most standard Tyranitars as well. I decided against gem because I wanted to have high power with multiple moves at the course of the whole match. The Speed EV's put me ahead of Modest 252 Spe Kingdra outside of Rain. Finally, he completes the Cress/Zapdos/Gastrodon/Scizor core I like oh so much. --- This is my first VGC team, I think I did well in making this but I'm still learning so I could use some help. Thank you in advance. Edits in bold
Pretty solid team for a first attempt. Just a few nitpicks: - There was a typo on Cresselia, are you using Ice Beam or Icy Wind? Ice Beam is good for a little extra muscle, and with a minimum of 28 SpA EVs, it can 2HKO Thundurus and Tornadus. Icy Wind allows you to have a good degree of speed control: you could try to slow down the opponent's whole team, or if their entire team already outspeeds the majority of yours, then use Trick Room. So TR would help out your mostly slow team, but you'd use Icy Wind instead if they have slowmons that can also abuse TR. This basically gives you the versatility to give yourself an advantage by whatever means you can. Thunder Wave can achieve the same as Icy Wind, but it's more potent and will miss out on Garchomp. Just some food for thought, the choice is ultimately yours. - Superpower is a bad move on Scizor. It used to be the old standard, but enough people were upset at -1 Atk/-1 Def leaving him as total deadweight. So I have two alternate suggestions: a. Acrobatics + Flying Gem. It gets the Technician AND Gem boost on the first hit, so you have a disgustingly powerful attack that with either OHKO or severly damage most Fighting-Types and fellow bug types. Occa Berry isn't terribly useful, sorry to say. Even at full health, Fire attacks nearly kill him, so you have a kind of useful berry that means he can't have a power item. After using him in doubles enough you'll learn that Occa Berry isn't fantastic and that it's just better to leave him away from Fire types altogether. b. Swords Dance + Steel Gem. I get the feeling that you will have plenty of opportunities to set up Trick Room. The first turn after it goes up, your opponent is almost guaranteed to double-protect. That's how most players try to stall it out. You can punish them for that by getting in a free Swords Dance! So now even after TR shuts off Scizor is still a terrifying monster to behold with Bullet Punch! - Okay I see you took a liking to Ray's Fire Punch Tyranitar. The only reason he gave his Ttar Fire Punch was because his team specifically had trouble with Scizor. With Zapdos, Gastrodon, and your own Scizor, I think you are more than prepared for the metal bug, so try out Low Kick. It's generally more reliable, at least for me. - Just out of curiosity, what does Zapdos's EVs allow it to outspeed? Hope I helped, happy battling!
Yeah that's supposed to be Ice Beam. I'll try both Scizor sets and see which is better. I just played a couple rounds today and hated Superpower. Which means that Low Kick becomes that much more useful on Tyranitar, so I'll change that too. The Speed EV's for Zapdos put me ahead of Modest 252 Spe Kingdra outside of Rain. Plus Ludicolo. edit: Yeah when I saw Occa Berry at first, I wanted to know why. Like, what notable Fire moves can I survive. Needless to say I couldn't find much uses.
Bumping this because I made a couple of edits. Also, what do you think of adding Suicune over Gastrodon?
on cress, go 252 HP / 52 Def / 28 SpAtk / 176 SpDef survives volcarona bug gem bug buzz+top fake out, ttar crunch, 2hkos genies with ice beam, terrakion/top/virizion with psyshock. scizor 4 speed < 4 spdef to never be ohkoed by max spatk modest cress' hp fire honestly I would go scarf on ttar to get the jump on genies and latios and go EQ < protect terrakion might go good over gastro or garchomp because it also has great synergy with zappy/cress/scizor and gets a spdef boost in sand!!
I have some doubts, first you said that the 116 EV on SpDef on garchomp will take a Dragon gem Draco meteor from latios, but I did some calculations with this <http://honko.byethost8.com/manly_calc.html> and; 248 SpA Dragon Gem Latios Draco Meteor vs. 36 HP / 116 SpD Haban Berry Garchomp: 178-211 (94.68 - 112.23%) -- 68.75% chance to OHKO So it can survive against dragon gem boosted, a small chance btw. But it can survive if the Latios is holding LO: 248 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 36 HP / 116 SpD Haban Berry Garchomp: 153-183 (81.38 - 97.34%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Other thing, I don't get the EV spread on Gastrondon, I think this can be better, since your runnig a Sp.Atker one: Gastrondon @Earth Gem -Earth Power -Ice Beam -Recover -Protect 252HP, 100Sp.Atk, 20 Def, 136 SpDef The Sp.atk can OHKO Metagross, 2OHKO Latios, Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Garchomp(without yache berry) and Heatran 100+ SpA Gastrodon Ice Beam vs. 36 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 188-224 (100 - 119.14%) -- guaranteed OHKO 100+ SpA Ground Gem Gastrodon Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Metagross: 188-224 (100.53 - 119.78%) -- guaranteed OHKO 100+ SpA Ground Gem Gastrodon Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Tyranitar: 174-206 (84.05 - 99.51%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 100+ SpA Ground Gem Gastrodon Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Shuca Berry Heatran: 168-198 (100.59 - 118.56%) -- guaranteed OHKO And the 252 HP, 20 Def and 136SpD is for bulky, surviving to SpAtk Latios: 248 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 136 SpD Gastrodon: 156-185 (71.55 - 84.86%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Alright, I guess I'll try my hand at a rate. Overall, you have a very solid team in terms of what Pokemon you're using. I don't see any glaring synergetic flaws; you have solid offensive and defensive synergy going for you and you don't seem to be especially vulnerable to any team archetype. As such, pretty much all of my suggestions are somewhat minor move set and EV changes. On Gastrodon, are you getting much use out of Recover? Recover on Gastrodon is useful, but you've got a pretty offensive Gastrodon build at the moment to the point where recover doesn't seem to helpful. If you're sticking with your more offensive spread, I would run Muddy Water > Recover. Muddy Water gives you a fantastic secondary STAB and works well alongside Cresselia's Helping Hand. Even if you do stick with Recover, at least replace Ice Beam with Muddy Water as its such a nice STAB to be passing up. I think that your choice of item and EV spread on Tyranitar are pretty strange. There's not much reason to want to outspeed Rotom-W or take one of its Hydro Pumps when you have Gastrodon on your team to shut it down (especially when you can pull off some cool moves like Volt Switching into Gastrodon). You could refine it to make it a bit more useful. You can try: A) Dumping your Speed EVs into HP and making Tyranitar a Special Tank, especially useful versus Rain. I would also recommend switching your item to a Dark Gem since your natural bulk allows you to pick a more offensive item B) Investing solely in Attack and Speed, switching to a Jolly nature, and giving Tyranitar a Choice Scarf. Your team lacks immediate speed outside of Scizor's Bullet Punch and could use a Pokemon over the Base 111 hump when you don't have a Fake Out user to help Cresselia with its speed control duties. Hope this quick advice helps.
Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate the EV spread suggestions especially because I only started playing recently and have never really made spreads anyway. I tried out Choice Scarf Tyranitar and it helped out a lot, and I said the same thing about not having any immediate fast Pokemon. Recover helped out a ton in practice, but not so much recently. I'll replace it with Muddy Water. Again I can't really explain why I chose EV spreads since I copied most of them. But Garchomp has been surviving against Draco Meteor from Latios all of the time, but I suppose I just got lucky then since I never bothered to check via damage calculator.

Want kids' immunization records? There's an app for that
The University of Michigan Health System is making some basic personal medical records available to patients on on the web.
Starting Wednesday,UMHS patients can go on the web or smart phone to check the results of a lab test, request a prescription refill, and other health routine matters.
Dr. Margaret Punch is in charge of the new project.
She says parents could use the portal to get their kids' immunization records, state.
"We've all had a moment where you realize at 9:00 at night that you need a copy of it tomorrow -- and you could just go online and print it."
Punch says the website will be secure, and patients will be urged to keep their passwords safe, to make sure personal information doesn't end up in the wrong hands.

Lesser prairie chicken habitat protected
Wed, May 06, 2009 at 3:47 PM
By The Nature Conservancy
The Johnson Ranch in southeastern New Mexico has been purchased by The Nature Conservancy. The 9,170 acre property contains critical habitat for 25 Species of Greatest Conservation Need—as identified in the state's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (also known as Wildlife Action Plan)—including the lesser prairie-chicken.
The strategic land acquisition is adjacent to the Conservancy's 18,500 acre Milnesand Preserve and near 25,000-plus acres of Southern Shortgrass Prairie habitat protected by the Department of Game and Fish in Roosevelt and Lea counties. The preserve and newly acquired ranch are both leased for grazing by local ranchers at stocking rates which protect lesser prairie chicken habitat.
This deal was made possible by a diverse group of partners and funders. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation provided $600,000 to help implement the Johnson Ranch project, as part of its commitment to on-the-ground wildlife conservation projects that New Mexico and four other western states identified as priorities in their Wildlife Action Plans. The State of New Mexico also saw significant value in this transaction by allocating $399,000 through the state Legislature.
"Leadership was shown by Governor Richardson and the state legislature by providing funding for this strategic land protection project" said Joanna Prukop, secretary of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. "These activities protect both wildlife habitat and the energy and agricultural economy of southeastern New Mexico."
Once present in large numbers, the lesser prairie chicken population has dropped significantly. Since 1900, these iconic and beautiful prairie birds have plummeted in number mainly due to rapidly diminishing habitat. The situation facing the lesser prairie chicken has earned it consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act. The purchase of the Johnson Ranch is the latest action to provide protected habitat for the species.
"This is a significant step forward in our efforts to protect this incredibly charismatic bird species," said Terry Sullivan, director of The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico. "We are pleased to be working with such a broad coalition of partners on this acquisition, and we are proud of the engagement and support of the local community on the lesser prairie chicken conservation project."

Edmond Hooker, MD, DrPHMedical Editor:
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACRDr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. IN THIS ARTICLE
MonkeypoxThe monkeypox virus is a naturally occurring relative of variola, which is found in Africa. The first case of human monkeypox was identified in 1970, but fewer than 400 cases have been diagnosed since. Some concern exists that monkeypox may be weaponized, however, human monkeypox is not as potent as smallpox. Pneumonia due to monkeypox may cause death in about half of people who develop it. Arboviral EncephalitidesThe arboviral encephalitides with high fatality rates include Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus, western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus, and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus. They are members of the Alphavirus genus and are regularly associated with encephalitis. These viruses were recovered from horses during the 1930s. VEE was isolated in the Guajira peninsula of Venezuela in 1930, WEE in the San Joaquin Valley of California in 1930, and EEE in Virginia and New Jersey in 1933. A more common, but milder arboviral disease, is West Nile, which is caused by a flavivirus. Although natural infections with these viruses occur following bites from mosquitoes, the viruses are also highly infectious when spread through the air. If intentionally released as a small particle aerosol, this virus may be expected to infect a high percentage of people exposed within a few miles. VEE virus has the capacity to produce epidemics. Outcomes are significantly worse for the very young and the very old. Up to 35% of people infected may die. WEE and EEE typically produce less severe and widespread disease but are associated with death rates as high as 50%-75% in those with severe illness. Signs and Symptoms
Diagnosis Laboratory tests, including nasal swab samples, may show any of the three viruses. Treatment No specific treatment is available. Doctors will help control symptoms. For some people, that may include medications to control fever and seizures or help breathing. Prevention There are no commercially available vaccines against any of the arboviral encephalitidis. They are experimental and only available for researchers who work with the virus. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Biological Warfare

And Unix admins and other IT pros were happy to see that Intel won't abandon the Itanium processor after repeated delays caused speculation that Intel would cast off the chip. At the same time, some users didn't seem too eager to upgrade to the new Itanium 9300 processor, code-named "Tukwila."
Unveiled at an event in San Francisco, Intel Corp.'s Itanium 9300 is a 65-nanometer, quad-core chip. It is smaller and sports more cores than its predecessor, a 90 nm, dual-core chip. It's unclear exactly when servers with the new Itaniums will appear. Martin Fink, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s senior VP and GM of business critical systems, would say only that HP will make an Itanium systems announcement in the next 90 days.
"It is on our radar," said Diederick de Buck, the technical architect at Dutch bank Rabobank, about the new Itanium processor. "But frankly, at the moment the dual core is enough for Rabobank. Four years from now, we absolutely will need the quad core."
De Buck explained that in 2012, Europe will go to a new banking payment system that will require substantial XML parsing and, therefore, a lot of processing capacity. By then, Rabobank may transition to the new chip.
The Itanium 9300 news comes the same day IBM debuted new Power7-based systems and a week after Oracle outlined plans for its new Sun Microsystems franchise, including a pledge to support Sun's Sparc chip and Solaris.
Itanium users say, 'Better late than never 'The Itanium 9300 was originally due out in 2007. Then ensuing delays had users wondering whether to stick with Itanium or go with other options, such as IBM Power or Sun/Fujitsu Sparc. Despite the speculation, however, Itanium has gained share in the multibillion-dollar Unix market, mainly at the expense of Sparc, which was damaged by uncertainties about Sun Microsystems Inc.'s future and regulatory delays to the Oracle takeover.

Itanium's revenue share in the Unix market now stands at about 28%, according to the most recent figures from research firm Gartner Inc. IDC estimates that Itanium-based servers were expected to account for 9.3% of all server customer revenue in 2009, including x86, RISC/EPIC and mainframes.
That said, the total Unix market has contracted. Between the first quarter and the third quarter of 2009, the Unix share of total server revenue decreased from 32% to 27%, according to Gartner.
Though Itanium processors run in many vendors' systems, they are mainly processors for HP servers running HP-UX. Many customers have migrated from HP's older PA-RISC architectures. According to Gartner, some 95% of all Itanium server shipments went to HP in the third quarter last year but NEC, Hitachi and Fujitsu also offer Itanium-based systems.
Pella, the door and window manufacturer based in Pella, Iowa, runs Itanium-based HP Superdome servers and Jim Thomas, Pella's director of IT operations said the new chip may help him save money on software licenses if more capabilities are built onto a single processor.
"If anybody has seen what the housing industry has done in the last three, four years, it hasn't been a stellar curve upwards," he said, adding that the company is "focusing on investments that matter" both in and out of IT.
"We are a fairly lean IT organization," he said. "I don't have a lot of people to run my systems, so we need to use our resources effectively."

Regional economic development experts say cities must woo talented people while they're young--in their 20s or early 30s--because, after that age, people tend to hunker down. The Indianapolis area apparently appeals to at least two key groups of young people--particularly those already married, according to a new study by researchers at IUPUI.

Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
Love the costumes. Kids also. They didn't complain about anything.
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
This was for my 17 month old for Halloween. The "chaps" come in two pieces. You are supposed to tie the two pieces in the front and the back, and the separate legs pieces have straps around the back of the legs, so it looks awful from behind. My son wasn't having the pants at all, and they looked terrible, so he just wore a long sleeved white shirt, the vest, and I bought a red bandanna for him. The hat is comes with is supposed to fit a 4 year old, and didn't even fit my 17 month old! So I bought him a different cowboy hat that he refused to wear. I wouldn't buy this one again for just a vest.
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
Nice product, good quality and comfortable.
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
My son is a small 2 year old so finding a costume that wasn't too babyish and would fit was hard. This costume allowed me to use some of his own clothes with the costume. Looked really cute on him! The only problem was the poor fit/quality of the hat. There is a reason that the package photo doesn't show the child wearing the hat.

Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
I got this for my 3 year old to wear to his playgroup costume party and for trick-or-treating. He looked adorable! Everyone commented about how cute his costume was, and it held up well and he was able to wear it to both events. We paired it with a plaid button down shirt, and it looked great. The only negative would be the hat...it looks more like Indiana Jones than a cowboy. We bought a seperate cowboy hat, so we didn't use the hat that came with the costume.
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
The costume was a hit everywhere we went! He had such a classic cowboy look and everyone remarked how authentic the costume was. The vest and chaps were better quality than many we had seen! Unfortunately the hat did not fit well, was too small and did not look very authentic, made out of plastic. So we ended up getting a Sheriff's hat at Gymboree that did fit better. While we love the costume, the chaps had a hard time staying up and we had to put the ties thru his pants belt loops to secure, and then had to tie the front of the chaps together with a string to keep the front up. There are already two holes there, but nothing in the packaging to keep them together. I also had to hem the chaps a good 2 inches to keep him from tripping. The design could have been better to ensure the chaps stayed up. Overall I'm glad I made the purchase as he just looked so cute in it, and most importantly he LIKED wearing it!
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
The quality and fit were perfect for my 2 and1/2 year old
Comments about Cowboy Toddler Costume:
Bought this for my 2 year old to wear for a Halloween party and Trick or Treating. Have already used it for the Party and it was great! The hat was not very useful, so we did get a different hat but other than that it was perfect.

Does anyone out there have a Greek Cheese pie recipe that is simple and tasty?
I love them both. If you want a richer tasting tiropita then go with the second one. They both taste delicious.
I have 2 recipes. You can choose which one you like best or make both(ha!).
2 pounds feta (you can use greek feta or the canadian one.)
500 gram ricotta cheese
7 eggs
1/4 bunch fresh dill finely chopped
NO SALT!!!!!!(feta cheese is very salty)
1 pack of philo
1/2 pound melted butter or more.(the melted butter is for the philo)
preheat oven at 350
In a large bowl break up the feta into tiny pieces using you hands.
Add the ricotta, eggs, pepper and chopped dill. Mix it all up very well using your hands or spoon.
spread out the philo and cut it to size using a very sharp knife or razor blade(I prefer the razor). The philo must be cut to fit the size of the bottom of your baking pan. You can use a rectangular or round baking pan.
You will be using 1/2 of the philo pack to line the bottom first. Place 1 sheet of philo in the pan and brush it with melted butter. Place onother sheet and brush it with butter. Continue the philo and butter until you have used up 1/2 of you philo pack.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the philo. Using the remaining 1/2 of the philo spead one sheat over the cheese mixture and brush with butter.Do so until you have used up all the philo.
Before placing it in the oven, cut it into pieces, but make sure you only cut the top layers of philo.Don't go all the way down to the bottom of the pan. I do this because it makes it easier to cut when it comes out of the oven. This is where the razor blade comes in handy.
Bake for 45 min to 1 hour.
recipe #2:
1 pound feta
2 packs of cream cheese softened
1 500g ricotta cheese
1 cup kefalograviera cheese (it's a greek cheese)
6 eggs
2 tbls of bechamel sauce (flour, butter and milk)
1 pack philo
1/2 pound melted butter or more
follow the same procedure as above
let me know if you have any questions.
When you say greek cheese pie do you mean tiropita? If so let me know and I'll post it.

"Our Smart Water Networks Forum is aiming to help water utilities do the right thing: investing in operation and maintenance and sustainability of their data-driven smart water networks and not only focusing on pipe and pumps", Smart Water Networks Forum Chairman Guy Horowitz told IRC's Dick de Jong at the 2011 Aquatech Amsterdam SWAN session on 1 November 2011. Inefficient water distribution and poor water efficiency are the culprits.
Mr. Horowitz is Vice President Marketing of TaKaDu, a water infrastructure monitoring software pioneer based in Israel shared recent research findings that show the connection between water prices and water loss rates. Based on information from 42 urban water networks all over the world, their research found that higher water tariffs are associated with lower water loss and a more sustainable outcome. In most cities where the price of water is very high or very low, low and high NRW (non revenue water) rates are observed respectively.
This holds true across different countries and regions and even cities. Manila East and Manila West for instance have two different private sector operators. Manila West scores 12 percent non revenue water, Manila East scores 53 percent water losses.
Thus, when setting policy and water tariffs, policy makers should consider all possible implications of low pricing to avoid infrastructure deterioration. Regulatory tools such as on-going benchmarking of water utilities and incentives for improved performance can be used, as well as a tiered pricing model for domestic consumption, TaKaDu concludes.
