Newly released figures show the National September 11 Memorial has quickly become one of the city's most visited sites.
Officials say over 4.5 million trips have been made to the memorial since it opened to the public on September 12, 2011.
Visitors came from all 50 states and more than 170 countries.
Meanwhile, work is expected to resume on the adjacent National September 11 Museum, after an agreement over costs was finally reached.
The museum is now expected to open by the end of 2013.

Panasonic's THX plasma goes large, gets Editors' Choice
Earlier this year we awarded the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ800U our Editors' Choice among 50-inch plasma TVs, and now that we've reviewed the newly released 58-inch version, it predictably gets a similar review, with an identical score and Editors' Choice award. Part of the reason has to do with its color accuracy, for which the TV's THX Display Certification deserves credit.
The bigger Panasonic still didn't perform as well as our new reference standard, the Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-111FD--which we assume will perform as well, in turn, as the 60-inch Elite PRO-151FD--but those Elite models are just too expensive to earn our Editors' Choice. The 50-inch Elite, for example, costs more than the 58-inch Panasonic, and the 60-inch Elite is off the charts.
If you're shopping for a massive-screen plasma, the other high-end option is the 60-inch non-Elite Pioneer, model PDP-6020FD. Too bad it's significantly more expensive than the 58-inch Panasonic itself, and judging from our review of the 50-inch version, its color accuracy is a big issue. Couple that with the fact that, according to our observations, the 58-inch Panasonic delivered even deeper black levels than the 50-inch model, we feel the EC and higher rating compared with the non-Elite Pioneer is justified, again.
For folks just looking for a massive screen, regardless of form factor, it's still difficult to justify the higher cost of plasma over rear-projection. Our current rear-projection EC is the 61-inch Samsung HL61A750, a superb-performing LED-based DLP model that can't quite match the overall picture quality of any of those plasmas, but costs a dark sight less.
What's your take? Let us know in the comments section.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language.
Starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Josh Pence, Liam Neeson, Nestor Carbonell, Alon Abutbul, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti.
Written by Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan, David S. Goyer, based on comic characters created by Bob Kane.
Directed by Christopher Nolan.
The greatest 'Comic Book Summer' is drawing to a close with the grand finale in Chrisopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. After the nominal success of Batman Begins (2005) and epic runaway hit The Dark Knight (2008), expectations were high for the final chapter: The Dark Knight Rises.
The story picks up eight years after the capture of the Joker and the death of Harvey Dent (Two Face). Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is a broken man; a recluse content that most crime has been cleaned out of Gotham City due to legal reforms enacted in the name of Harvey Dent. During a party at his home, a cat burglar named Selina Kile (Anne Hathaway) robs Wayne's safe, stealing his dead mother's pearl necklace - and a set of his fingerprints.
Meanwhile, a powerful masked terrorist named Bane (Thomas Hardy) captures a nuclear scientist in a daring mid-air operation, with designs on blowing up Gotham in an act of redemption for its greed, crime and overall lack of social morals.
As Wayne and Commissioner Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) track Kile, they discover Bane's plot to bring Gotham to its knees. Wayne and Gordon are assisted in their investigation by Lucious Fox (Morgan Freeman) and Alfred (Michael Caine), even though Wayne Enterprises has suffered through financial downturn. Joining the crimefighters is Gotham police officer "John" Blake (Joseph Gordon Leavitt), who impresses Gordon and is promoted to detective. Wayne also develops a romantic relationship with Miranda (Marion Cotillard), one of his company's investors who is trying to fund the development of a clean energy nuclear reactor (which Bane plans to exploit for other purposes).
When Bane pulls the trigger on the big Gotham takeover, he traps most of the police force underground and cuts the city off from the outside world. The big takeover allows Gotham's citizens, criminals and innocents to form their own lawless society where kangaroo courts are held, the wealthy are stripped of their possessions and the corporate elite are made to pay for their crimes, often by execution (take that, Occupy Wall Street). Bane also kicks the living crap out of Batman, snapping his spine and depositing Bruce Wayne in the same underground prison he grew up in. Wayne recuperates over several months with the help of another prisoner (Tom Conti), trying desperately to climb the stone walls so he can return to Gotham and stop Bane's plans to nuke the entire city.
(Spoliers follow)
Wayne succeeds and returns to Gotham where he tries to recruit Selina ("Catwoman") over to his cause. He also plots with Blake, Gordon, and Fox to take Bane down before his nuclear bomb goes off.
A huge battle ensues.
Go see the movie for the rest...and by "go see the movie," I mean, "as soon as possible, and probably many times," because The Dark Knight Rises is AWESOME.
Christopher Nolan's vision of The Dark Knight Rises is a perfect ending to the Bruce Wayne story. Nolan's Batman is not some sort of campy comic book send-off; it's stripped of all pretense and focuses in on one man's struggle with his own tragedy and the ideal of real, tangible justice. The Dark Knight Rises picks up perfectly where The Dark Knight left off, and finishes the story arc from Batman Begins. Speaking of Batman Begins, there are a lot of pivotal plot points taken from Nolan's first installment in the series, including Wayne's history with the League of Shadows and its leader Ra's Al Ghul (Liam Neeson, who makes a new cameo along with flashbacks to Batman Begins).
Some may flinch at the absence of a transcendent villain like Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight Rises, and also take issue with the mask worn by Thomas Hardy as Bane. To them, I say, "So what?" Did you really think Nolan could find anyone to top Ledger's incredible performance? It's good thing they didn't try, and allowed Wayne's story of justice and Gotham's redemption to play out instead of burdening us with too many villains, or a villain that tries too hard.
Some will take issue with Bale's signature "gravel" voice whenever he's in the Batman suit, but I think it's time to let that ship sail. It's part of the character, now, so live with it. Bale's performance is noteworthy and improved since the trilogy began, and his supporting cast is right there with him. The addition of Joseph Gordon Leavitt is also very welcome, and gives The Dark Knight Rises and ending that will leave Batman fans squealing with glee.
A lot of people have asked me if The Dark Knight Rises is better or worse than The Avengers, Summer 2012's other comic book movie blockbuster. To them, my best answer is: they are two very different kinds of movies. One is a great moral tale of crime and justice, while the other is tale of superheroes who form a great union to save the earth. If you pressed me, I'd say the The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises are in a virtual tie in terms of overall cinematic quality, and have given geeks like me the best movie summer of our lives (not to mention a Spider-Man reboot that wasn't bad, either). No matter how you rank them, this should be one great lucrative year for Hollywood ("you're welcome," say comic book creators and fans).
The aforementioned ending of The Dark Knight Rises is the grandest payoff of all. The last 10 minutes of the film are devoted to an epilogue that all Batman fans want and deserve.
I was skeptical that Nolan would be able to improve upon The Dark Knight, but I was wrong.
He has truly risen to the occasion.
*The Dark Knight Rises opens everywhere at midnight on July 20. Megaplex Theaters will hold a Dark Knight Rises party Thursday night.

Style: Tae Kwon-Do, Fencing--Please fix the scrollbar issue in the OP, it is painful. I mean, I read through it anyway, but what a waste of time constantly hitting the arrow keys, because you can't even use your mouse to drag it since that part wasn't scrolling.
I cosplayed one time 3 or 4 years ago, very bad costume choice, but I had to choose it since it covered the entire body and I wasn't confident about my appearance. Can't see at all, if you ever wear headgear you need a guide or something. Otherwise you trip and make a fool of yourself holding a scythe.Last edited by tyciol; 11/30/2007 2:02am at .

Well it seems like everyone else is doing it, so I guess I will too… (yes, mom, I probably would jump off the bridge if someone told me too… I'm just that kind of girl…)
So what AM I talking about? End of the year roundups, and next year's goals.
Craft roundup:
I had a few craft goals this year.
* Knit or crochet 10 shawls in 2010. Technically I did make well over 10 shawls, but quite a few of them I personally didn't count towards the goal. If it only took me a few hours to make, despite meeting the yardage requirements, I didn't count it. So I actually made 9 shawls that met my personal (additional) requirements. All in all, however, this is significantly better than what I usually accomplish when joining one of these groups. My favorite shawl (using someone else's pattern):
Frozen leaves I made 4 variations of this shawl this year!
* Knit or crochet 6 sweaters.
top down short sleeved sweater, started & finished early Jan 2010:
February lady sweater, top down cardigan, started Jan, finished April 2010:
Razor Cardi, top down cardigan, started May, finished Aug 2010, and my personal favorite:
(yes, that is a 64 ford falcon in the background)
top down short sleeved sweater, finished Nov or Dec 2010
* start designing again. I reworked/reedited a lot of my old, free patterns, and put them up into pdfs. I released several self-published designs & am in the process of getting a design published by Knit Picks & 2 patterns in the Crochet 2012 calendar. My most popular design, by far, is the boringly-named Half Circle Shawl:
A ravelry fan club was formed, and I hosted 2 Cals for my own designs on the group.
* Tackle cables! I've finished one cable hat to date, and dabbled with a few cables on scrap yarn, but I'm just not a cabler. I was determined to make 3 small cabled projects this year, just to say I know how. End result? Not one cabled project completed.
Reading goals: My goal every year is to read 52 books. As stated in Tuesday's post, I failed miserably this year. But, I did start this review blog!
Goals for next year:
* Knit or crochet 131 cat shelter blankets in memory of Zorro, one for each month he lived with us. I've already made a few.
* Knit or crochet at least 26 hats for the homeless
* Continue making the odd blanket or two for nursing home residents (goal of say, 10)
* Continue knitting/crocheting for charity as the need arises
* Make 2 pairs of socks for dad – one for Father's Day, using the yarn I gave him at Christmas, and one pair for Christmas 2011. Make 1 pair of socks for mom for Mother's Day, using the yarn I gave HER at Christmas, and possibly a pair for Christmas. Make 3 pairs of socks for Jon; probably one to just give him, and 2 for Christmas. Make 3 pairs of wool-cotton blend socks for me, using scraps I've been saving, & at least 1 pair of worsted weight wool slipper socks, to replace the badly felted pairs.
* Try the cable resolution again: 3 small cabled projects.
* Finish the sock yarn afghan
* Finish the Moorish Crochet afghan
* Finish the Around the Twist afghan, and write up the pattern. Possible KAL.
* Finally make Jon a sweater. This needs to be a priority in my personal, non charity, non designing craft time!
* Finally get my act together & do some serious sewing.
* Read 52 ya/adult books new-to-me, and 25 additional "younger" books, rereads, or audiobooks. Try to read more fan fiction, which I love but never seem to actually read. Utilize the kindle!
* Continue blogging at least one review per week, keep up with In Your Mailbox (helps keep me organized), and write one craft post a week, probably WIP Wednesday or Fiber Friday.
* spin more.
* use my slow cooker more.

Well, I've never done it, not by type of thing. But I'm reasonably sure that I've had it done to me. And I'm surprised that it worked for even one link. If one's backlinks are high enough quality, then one should be reasonably proof to these things. But nothing's 100%.
As for ethics, if a competitor has a link they paid nothing for, and I pay the site owner $500 for the spot, then I win and the site owner wins by $500 and the competitor sucks at business. That's ethics for you.
Now on the flipside, I came across a dofollow ad today. I was reasonably certain that the ad had probably expired and was simply there because the site owner never took it down. Asked the owner how much to put my link there. Well, turns out the ad wasn't expired yet (I think this may be an interesting tactic - if a link looks old, it may be worth pursuing with a current suggestion) - but they told me not only could I have the ad/link once it did expire, but that I could actually have it for free. So is that a paid link?

Some sponsors have limits on the number of proposals that may be submitted from an organization. In these cases, an internal selection process is required to determine which proposals will go forward. When the number of abstracts received is more than the number of proposals allowed per the solicitation, an internal competition will be necessary.
The process described below is the result of input from faculty and discussions between the associate deans, department chairs, deans of the various colleges and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. The purpose of this document is to outline the internal review process for limited submission proposals. The goal of this process is to ensure that proposals are reviewed in both a fair and competitive manner. This will also allow the Vice Provost for Research to select a pool of reviewers with the proper expertise to present a strong candidate or team to move forward.
I. Overall Process
The process for submitting and selecting proposals for limited submissions is a three-step process.
- PIs submit a three page abstract to OSRP for consideration in the internal competition
- If necessary, Vice Provost for Research, or his or her, designee convenes an internal panel to review properly submitted abstracts
- If selected in the internal competition, the PI submits a full proposal to the sponsor
The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs (OSRP) will send out any internal competition announcements via email and the information will also be posted on the OSRP website.
The email will contain general information about the solicitation (i.e., proposal deadline, abstract internal deadline, synopsis, etc.).
All submissions of abstracts and supporting documents are to be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. All abstracts must be received by 5:00 pm (CST) of the stated deadline date in order to be eligible.
II. Review Panel
The internal review panel may include the associate deans, department chairs, former chairs, center or institute directors or other faculty. Each participant in the review panel will have a faculty appointment or have had faculty experience. This panel will meet to discuss the relative merits of the abstract and to recommend the abstract(s) to be invited to submit. The goal of the review panel's effort will be to identify the very best proposal(s) to send from the university to the funding agency. On rare occasions, the panel's recommendations may not be accepted by the Vice Provost for Research based on University priorities or best interests. The panel will be notified of such changes should this occur.
III. Abstracts
Researchers will submit an abstract following the guidelines listed below via email to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSRP). OSRP will review the abstracts to make sure they meet internal deadlines and formatting requirements. Any abstracts which do not follow the template will be rejected. This format is required in order to assist the review panel in making an equitable, informed decision.
Abstract Guidelines
Abstracts should be no more than three (3) pages and follow the NSF guidelines for margins, spacing and fonts.
All abstracts must contain the following:
- Sponsor & solicitation number (if known),
- PI and all personnel (including co-PIs, senior personnel, subcontractors, etc.) and their affiliation (any additional personnel not listed in the abstract will require prior approval by the Dean of the appropriate College before they can be added to the proposal)
- Full title of the proposal
- Start and end dates of grant period
- A detailed budget for the entire project. Budget template.
- If cost share is mandatory, supporting documentation from the appropriate source should be provided. If cost share is coming from internal sources, prior approval from the Dean of the appropriate College is required and should be attached to the abstract. The detailed budget for the cost share should be included on the budget template (tab b) above. Indirect costs are charged on cost share.
- If indirect cost rate limitations are imposed by the sponsor, prior approval from the Dean of the appropriate College is required.

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential.

"You have to want it, even when you don't." -- A1
It looks like you're several months into some of the highest volume training evident in your log. While some people may enjoy each and every run, running a lot and running consistently means that there will be times when it is just a grind. It is the end result of the training which makes it worth it. When the motivation goes away that could mean you are getting over-trained and need to take a step back, that you may need a new goal to revitalize your commitment, or that it just isn't worth it to you anymore.
Reflect on which of the above is most likely for you. And the end of the day you must find what motivates you to commit to whatever level of training you are going to do.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Four years ago, Ray McKinney, then the nation's top coal-mine regulator, had scheduled a high-level meeting with officials from International Coal Group. At the meeting, set for the first week of January 2006, McKinney, then the coal administrator at the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, planned to confront ICG about growing safety problems at the company's mines.
The meeting never happened. Early on the morning of Jan. 2, an explosion ripped through ICG's Sago Mine in Upshur County, killing 12 miners. Investigators later determined MSHA had not done nearly enough to prevent the disaster.
Last Monday, McKinney's successor, Kevin Stricklin, was on his way to Kentucky for a high-level meeting with Massey Energy officials about safety troubles at the Richmond, Va.-based coal giant's operations.
That meeting never happened either. On his way to Kentucky, Stricklin got word that Massey's Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County had blown up -- killing 29 miners in the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in 40 years.
In the wake of last week's deaths and as investigations begin, at least some of the focus will turn to MSHA, a long-troubled agency that has struggled to recover from Bush administration budget cuts, a focus toward industry friendly "compliance assistance" over tough enforcement, and a rough-and-tumble industry that frequently bucks regulators.
Passage of landmark mine safety laws in 1969 and 1977, along with creation of MSHA with its mandatory inspections and long lists of safety standards, has dramatically cut mining injuries and deaths.
But the nation's coalfields still suffer periodic fires, explosions or mine floods that can stomp out a dozen or more lives in an instant. And after each of the major incidents over the last 20 years, investigators have found that MSHA did not do enough beforehand to prevent the deaths, according to a review of agency records and outside audit reports.
Federal regulators have frequently overlooked major violations of safety rules intended to protect miners. They have declined to take harsh enough enforcement action or ensure that problems were quickly fixed. Agency supervisors have not trained inspectors or made MSHA requirements clear to them. MSHA has not always written additional rules to protect against newly discovered mining hazards.
"We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the mine operation always has the primary responsibility for the safety of its mine," said Tony Oppegard, a mine safety expert and former MSHA staffer. "However, MSHA has an important role to play in ensuring safety as well. And frequently, when a disaster occurs, failures on the part of MSHA and/or the state enforcement agency have also contributed to the cause of the disaster."
Questions already have been raised about whether MSHA took strong enough action at the Upper Big Branch Mine, given increasing violations and safety problems at the mine. Officials of the Labor Department, of which MSHA is a part, have promised some sort of review of the agency's enforcement actions at the Upper Big Branch Mine. Details of that review have not yet been announced, but MSHA officials last week had already begun defending their actions at the Massey mine.
"We issued citations for every hazard we identified," said Greg Wagner, deputy assistant labor secretary for MSHA. "We held the operator accountable for correcting the problems that were cited."
History, though, shows that MSHA has not always done all it could to prevent mine disasters and other mining deaths:
After the disaster, investigators found that federal inspectors repeatedly allowed Pyro Mining to overlook major safety problems. MSHA inspectors did not notice when company officials missed hazards during required pre-shift safety checks.
After the disaster, MSHA officials found that their own inspectors had again missed problems with the company's safety checks.

Anything Assassin's Creed or done by Jeremy Soule. I find that both Assassin's Creed and Skyrim are soundtracks I have kept on my Ipod since the release of their tracks. I have all versions of the Ezio trilogy on my Ipod, each lasting over a year. I change songs constantly on my Ipod, but my AC folder always survives.

The Rufus Porter Museum was founded in 2005 to celebrate the life of Rufus Porter (1792-1884), a painter, inventor, musician, and writer. The museum began by preserving and exhibiting Rufus Porter Style wall murals, and since has expanded to encompass Porter's other accomplishments, and to promote the preservation of early 19th Century Maine and New England culture for future generations. We invite you to share in Porter's uniquely American blend of creativity, ingenuity, practicality, and energy by coming to explore Rufus Porter's era through the museum.
The museum's mission statement has been updated to reflect the goals outlined in our new five year plan. Click here to read the Strategic Business Plan, 2012-2015.
Our mission is to increase the enjoyment, knowledge and pride of our communities by bringing to life the world and inspiring works of Rufus Porter--- a remarkable American artist and inventor.
2013 Annual Appeal
2013 has been a remarkable year at the Rufus Porter Museum! Because our community and state have faith that we make life better in Western Maine, and because friends like you support us, we will be moving into our new downtown home in the John and Maria Webb House next summer. In our new location we will be able to increase our educational programs, enlarge and exhibit our collections, and broaden our mission. We'd like to share our achievements with you:
*The John and Maria Webb House (c. 1830) was placed on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places.
*We were awarded over $170,000.00 by the Town of Bridgton, the Kendal C. and Anna Ham Foundation, the Maine Arts Commission, The Margaret Burnham Charitable Trust, and the Clarence E. Mulford Trust to help us complete renovations on the Webb House so we could open next summer and year round.
*We greatly expanded our educational programs this season and plan to have fun and inspiring speakers, classes and presentations throughout the year once we are settled into our new home on Main Street.
*A generous donor's acquisition of several miniature portraits by Rufus Porter makes our museum's collection of Porter's work the most extensive of its kind. We also received a donation of a wall that was painted by muralist John Avery, enhancing our growing collection of New England wall murals.
*We are now known nationally as the source for understanding and preserving New England painted wall murals. We regularly receive requests from homeowners and museums asking for our help in conserving these valuable artifacts. The Webb House will contain archives and a research center to continue this work.
We anticipate moving the historic Church House (our current museum) to the new Main Street campus in the fall of 2014—an exciting journey for us all! Following the opening of the new Webb House museum space and after the Church House is moved, we will begin developing ideas for a barn in which to exhibit our important mural collection, and we will ask you to share your ideas with us.
Right now though, your donations to our Annual Appeal are essential for helping us with the costs of operating the museum so that we can continue this year's extraordinary accomplishments that make it possible to fulfill our mission. To send in your donation by mail, please click here. Or click on the PayPal donation link on the side bar to the right.
With Our Sincerest Thank You!

Classifying epilepsy by seizure type alone leaves out other important information about the patient and the episodes themselves. Classifying into syndromes takes a number of characteristics into account, including the type of seizure; typical EEG recordings; clinical features such as behavior during the seizure; the expected course of the disorder; precipitating features; expected response to treatment, and genetic factors.
Epileptic syndromes can be either idiopathic (of unknown cause) or symptomatic of underlying brain damage or disease. In general, idiopathic forms have a better prognosis in terms of both seizure control and eventual remission than do symptomatic forms. Epileptic syndromes include seizure syndromes in newborns; hypothalamic hamartomas; febrile convulsions; West syndrome (infantile spasms); Lennox-Gastaut syndrome; childhood absence epilepsy; juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; Benign Rolandic epilepsy; Landau-Kleffner syndrome; Rasmussen's encephalitis (syndrome); progressive myoclonic epilepsy; temporal lobe epilepsy, and frontal lobe epilepsy. Types of epilepsy that appear in infancy range from benign to severe, although persistent epilepsy that begins during the first year of life tends to remain severe, sometimes throughout life. Some authorities would not include febrile (fever-generated) seizures in this list. Many consider them to be non-epileptic seizures because they cease to be a problem as the child grows older.
Epileptic syndromes in newborns include benign neonatal convulsions; familial benign neonatal convulsions; early myoclonic encephalopathy; and severe idiopathic status epilepticus. Usually, seizures in newborn babies are caused by identifiable metabolic or infectious conditions, many of which are associated with complications around the time of birth. In general, outcome following neonatal seizures depends more on the cause of the seizure than on the specific type. Newborns whose seizures are due to transient metabolic causes, who have normal clinical and EEG examinations, and who develop normally usually do not have epilepsy and do not require prolonged antiepileptic therapy.
Newborns whose seizures are due to disorders that affect brain structure (encephalopathies) are at risk for later epilepsy. This is especially true for newborns with brain malformations or hypoxic-ischemic disease that causes permanent brain damage and produces cerebral palsy.
Seizure-like phenomena. A variety of medical conditions may produce sudden episodes which have some similarities to epileptic seizures. Migraine and transient ischemic attacks (TIA's), for example, may produce visual disturbances; hyperventilation produces tingling, light-headedness and occasionally loss of consciousness, as does syncope (fainting).
In children, breath holding spells may lead to blueing of the lips and some jerking; tics likewise produce jerking; sleepwalking and other sleep disturbances may mimic seizure symptoms, while episodic dyscontrol syndrome produces rage attacks that may be erroneously identified as epileptic seizures.
Non-epileptic seizures. Non-epileptic seizures (also referred to as pseudoseizures, psychogenic or cryptogenic seizures) are episodic, paroxysmal events not related to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Click here to read more about non-epileptic seizures.

Has anyone tried Sims and Office 2010?
We're running it here on a few machines and its superb but I'm a bit reluctant to roll it out to the office staff if its going to cause problems with Sims.
in the same position. you try it first please and let me know ;-)...
2010 is not supported yet, so not worth the risk IMHO.
At a Capita Software Update Seminar yesterday, they mentioned that they would be supporting office 2010 (Office14) from 6 months from release date.
It works on my machine no problem. Just because it isn't supported, doesn't mean it won't work. Windows 7 wasn't supported for a while, but it worked fine before they supported it!
Release date is said to be 30th June 2010. So supported from the new year 2011.
We're still rocking 2003, so 2010 is a way off yet... *Dreams*
6 Months is a long time to wait... did capita not have access to the beta and RC's?
The whole point of those I think is to get partners ready for release.
We do not test on pre-release software as revisions completely invalidate all the test work that has been done.
Ahhh! Beat me to it there Phil :)
What about RTM software? As it has been RTM'd (which is final release, to manufacturers) as of a week or so ago, that gives you several months before retail release. I'm struggling to see a reason for taking 6 months from retail launch, which is effectively (as RC's don't change much) almost a year after the nearly finalised version is launched, or 9 months from RTM before support.
no... if office was anything like Windows 7, any major changes that would affect developers are locked down by the RC build. Any fixes done afterwards are bug fixes only and even then are heavily tested to ensure it doesn't cause a change in behaviour. This is why a ton of software was working brilliantly by the time Windows 7 was released.
If a company's software wasn't compatible and wheeled out the "we don't test on pre RTM" line then customers just moved onto something that was. In this case, SIMS virtually owns the market so...
Office 2010 is nice, especially the outlook update. Not rolled it out to staff yet but I can see the advantages already, hope they do as well.
I'll give it a go and see if it works :)

Medford Democrat seeks Markey's seat
Boston.com, Feb. 12: Gomez moves toward GOP run
Medford Democrat and state Representative Carl Sciortino on Friday, Feb. 8, launched a campaign for Congressman Ed Markey's seat. Markey, a Malden Democrat, is running for U.S. Senate.
"I am running to continue the strong progressive leadership that the families of the Fifth District have always counted on," said Sciortino in a statement. "I look forward to bringing my record of accomplishment to Washington to fight for our progressive values."
Sciortino praised Markey for his service as a congressman.
"I am proud to call Ed Markey my Congressman and I am dedicated to helping elect him as our next U.S. Senator," said Rep. Sciortino. "His record on behalf of Massachusetts families -- fighting for jobs, consumers' rights, and a healthier environment— is the kind of leadership Massachusetts needs in the Senate and it is a record I look forward to continuing in Congress."
Sciortino was first elected to the State House in 2004 at the age of 25. He is one of the state's seven openly gay legislators. He has been an advocate for LGBT rights, a supporter of the Green Line extension to Medford and Somerville, and has worked to close corporate tax loopholes and increase the minimum wage. The Tufts University grad lives in Medford with his fiancé.
Both Sciortino and Markey were reelected to their current positions in November for new two-year terms. If Markey, the so-called frontrunner for the open US Senate seat, doesn't advance past the primary in April, or doesn't win the special election in June, he will remain a Congressman and no special election for his seat will be held.

Facilities: I liked the fact that you could transfer to UCF and take courses on Valencia campus.
Overall Experience: I had a great time attending Valencia. The best part was graduation. It was all that I thought it would be. The professors really made a big deal about our success. It was a really great time and experience.
Tuition & Financial Aid: The financial aid is available pretty quickly.
Academic Flexibility: I am in the process if transferring credits to my new school.
Student Body: Everyone at the school is so diverse. Theres people that come from different countries and speak a variety of languages. You learn so much and it gives you a better understanding of others when you have such s diverse student body.
Online Courses: I don't like the online classes too much. Its hard for me to do well in my classes when i have an online class because its so much information to take in. Sometimes the programs don't open correctly if you don't have the proper applications installed. Having a professor in front of you is more personable and also gives you more one on one time to really understand the class and actually retain the information.
Academic Experience: The registration process was so easy and smooth.
Academic Experience: The workload is very manageable.
Career Services: I really didn't utilize the career center when i was getting closer to my graduation date.
Campus Resources: The resources are really great. If you need to speak to a counselor theres always someone available to help.
Campus Resources: The computer labs are great. Theres enough to just go right in and get to work. The campus also has wi-fi which helps a lot when you have a tablet or laptop that you can use in class.
Overall Experience: I basically went here because they were going to help with my tuition and fees. It was defiantly a great experience! I had many wise teachers full of valuable information, and made many friends a long the way.
Student Body: Most people there are super friendly and eager to learn. There are only a few in the classes I'm taking who do not care about anything done in class
Career Services: They were a huge help in helping me pick classes for my career.
Online Courses: I have only done half online half in class but never have done a full only online class.
Academic Experience: I have had an easy time here thus far. The workload is not more than I can handle, it is a lot, but I am able to manage it.
Academic Experience: I had opportunities to go and observe different classrooms for one of my education classes. I was disappointed i didn't get to take more education classes only because they did not have many to offer.
Academic Flexibility: I have had a hard time the last 2 semesters getting my schedule fixed. I had to redo it more than twice which was a real pain. Some of the time was because I was told wrong by the people in charge other times I was not told enough information.
Campus Resources: There are a ton of resources to get the help you need. My favorite is the UCF advisor and help to direct connect office. The library is also super helpful for school work, especially if I don't have a book I need I can usually find it there.
Campus Resources: They have a lot of trouble with wireless because win one building it works but in another ones it's terribly slow. The computer labs are helpful too, especially in my technology where all my work is online.
Tuition & Financial Aid: I had a hard time receiving the right information about my tuition and fees I owed the last semester but other than that it has been great receiving the money and the help that they provided. Occasionally there are people who are not able to help me, which just made it a bit more difficult to get direct information.
Academic Flexibility: I wish there were more evening classes as I work until 4pm M-F. There will be some classes that the timing will work on some days and other days it won't work.
Academic Experience: There is a lot of classes to choose from. I have to take a developmental math and reading class right now and already did one of the math ones but I can't take the next one until the fall. I am registered for the reading class I need but haven't been able to register for other classes yet. Not sure if it's bc of that math class.
Online Courses: Haven't taken an online class yet.
Facilities: All the activities they do are cool. I haven't been to one yet but I like that they do that. At the activities there is always free stuff which is def a bonus. I just wish they had them longer. Bc when I get to campus at like 3-4pm everything is usually already done with.
