Product description
Edible Forest Gardens is a groundbreaking two-volume work that spells out and explores the key concepts of forest ecology and applies them to the needs of natural gardeners in temperate climates. Volume I lays out the vision of the forest garden and explains the basic ecological principles that make it work. In Volume II, Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier move on to practical considerations: concrete ways to design, establish, and maintain your own forest garden. Along the way they present case studies and examples, as well as tables, illustrations, and a uniquely valuable "plant matrix" that lists hundreds of the best edible and useful species. Taken together, the two volumes of Edible Forest Gardens offer an advanced course in ecological gardening-one that will forever change the way you look at plants and your environment. What is an edible forest garden?An edible forest garden is a perennial polyculture of multipurpose plants. Most plants regrow every year without replanting: perennials. Many species grow together: a polyculture. Each plant contributes to the success of the whole by fulfilling many functions: multipurpose. In other words, a forest garden is an edible ecosystem, a consciously designed community of mutually beneficial plants and animals intended for human food production. Edible forest gardens provide more than just a variety of foods. The seven F's apply here: food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizer, and "farmaceuticals," as well as fun. A beautiful, lush environment can be a conscious focus of your garden design, or a side benefit you enjoy

Article: Charge retention phenomena in charge transfer silicon nitride: Impact of technology and operating conditions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to understand charge loss mechanisms in TANOS stack for which charge retention is monitored just after programming in an almost continuous way and voltage is applied during retention experiments in order to obtain zero electric field either on alumina or tunnel oxide. The charge loss mechanisms in TANOS stack can be a quite complicated process: An initial fast DT from interface traps localized at SiN/alumina interface, followed by charge loss through alumina from bulk traps in SiN which influences charge redistribution towards the tunnel oxide, observed only in Si-rich SiN. Programming voltage and stack composition impact trapped charge localization and hence charge redistribution and charge loss, even if the same initial Vfb is considered in charge retention experiments. While the charge loss through tunnel oxide is a DT, the charge loss through alumina depends on temperature and it is the main component of the charge loss in retention experiments for longer time.Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures: processing, measurement, and phenomena: an official journal of the American Vacuum Society 02/2011; · 1.36 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to investigate the physical mechanisms behind the write/erase and retention performances of band gap engineering (BE) layers used as tunnel oxide in charge trap memory stack. The investigation of the BE layers alone will be completed with the analyses of its integration within a TANOS (TaN/Alumina/Nitride/Oxide/Silicon) stack, pointing out the correlation between electrical performance and reliability limits.Good write/erase/retention performances can be achieved with BE tunnel oxide by using silicon nitride layer integrated in SiO2–Si3N4–SiO2 stack, as long as all different mechanisms are taken into account in optimizing stack composition: hole injection which improves erase efficiency, charge trapping and de-trapping from the thin silicon nitride which causes program instabilities and initial charge loss which does not significantly impact long term retention. All these phenomena make very crucial the BE tunnel process control and difficult its use for multi-level application.Microelectronic Engineering - MICROELECTRON ENG. 01/2011; 88(7):1182-1185.
Conference Paper: Investigation of the ISPP dynamics and of the programming efficiency of charge-trap memories[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a detailed investigation of the ISPP dynamics of charge-trap memory capacitors, considering not only the flat-band voltage but also the bottom oxide electric field and tunneling current evolution during programming. Differently from the floating-gate case, results on nitride-based memories show that the flat-band increase per step does not equal the step amplitude of the gate staircase, decreasing, moreover, as programming proceeds. As a consequence, the electric field and tunneling current through the bottom oxide are shown to largely increase. Using results at different temperatures and on samples with different stack compositions, this dynamics is explained in terms of a drop of the programming efficiency as more and more charge is stored in the nitride layer, due to the reduction of the number of free traps available for capturing the injected electrons.Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC), 2010 Proceedings of the European; 10/2010

ABSTRACT: In this work we present a detailed investigation of TANOS memory reliability, focusing on issues raised by Al2O3 trapping/detrapping and leakage. These effects are investigated as a function of alumina thickness, electric field and temperature, comparing experimental and modeling results for trap parameters extraction. For TANOS devices, Al2O3 charge storage modifies program and erase saturation level particularly when higher Al2O3 thikness are considered. Threshold instability in early steps for endurance and retarded behavior for retention can be also ascribed to the Al2O3 trapping. Moreover, Al2O3 layer has been shown to provide the main leakage path for bottom oxides thickness in the 4.5 nm or above range.Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), 2010 IEEE International; 06/2010
Article: 3D Monte Carlo simulation of the programming dynamics and their statistical variability in nanoscale charge-trap memories[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a comprehensive investigation of the programming dynamics of nanoscale charge-trap memories, based on 3D Monte Carlo simulations accounting for: 1) true 3D electro-statics during programming and read; 2) atomistic substrate doping; 3) discrete traps, fluctuating in number and position, with localized electron storage; 4) discrete electron injection into traps. The model allows to clarify several key issues affecting the program operation of charge-trap memories, most notably the reduced slope of the ISPP transients exhibited by scaled cells, the programming variability, and the width of the final programmed threshold-voltage distribution. Results are of utmost importance for the assessment of the true programming performance of nanoscale charge-trap memory technologies.Electron Devices Meeting, 1988. IEDM '88. Technical Digest., International 01/2010;

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to study the impact of silicon nitride deposition/treatment technologies on charge trap (CT) nonvolatile memory performances. The authors have found that the technology modifies the charge trapping behavior with a one to one correlation between write/erase and charge retention characteristics. In particular, they used rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition techniques to obtain films with different compositions, but they were not able to improve CT performances with respect to standard low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Besides, an in situ steam generated treatment applied to standard LPCVD silicon nitride modifies the film properties inducing a lower programming efficiency, but improving charge retention characteristics.Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B Microelectronics and Nanometer Structures 01/2009; 27(1). · 1.36 Impact Factor
Article: Cycling degradation in TANOS stack[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to investigate the physical mechanisms behind TANOS (TaN/Alumina/Nitride/Oxide/Silicon) cycling degradation. A comparison of the degradation induced in the TANOS stack by unipolar or bipolar stress has allowed the separation the different degradation contributions. A comparison with standard floating gate (FG) stack has also been carried out to confirm these degradation mechanisms. Finally, different stack configurations are reported, showing the key factors affecting the degradation and giving trends for improving cycling degradation.Microelectronic Engineering - MICROELECTRON ENG. 01/2009; 86(7):1822-1825.

Over at Eye on DNA, Hsien just interviewed someone who took deCODE's T2 test for diabetes risk to see what it was all about.
This week, I interviewed cardiac nurse Kendra James of Diabetes Notes and A Hearty Life about her experience with the deCODE T2 genetic test and although she had already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, it was still an interesting experience for her.
Hsien asked whether Kendra would consider having her daughters tested for this or any other genes. As the mother of a three-year-old, this made me think. When talking about genetic risk information, it's important to consider a child's right to privacy, or you might call it, a child's right to not know. Young children aren't in a position to make educated, informed decisions about things like the impact of genetic risk information. As parents, we are their proxies until they reach the age of 18. So unless genetic information were to affect their immediate health, I think that choice lies with them, not us.
I am absolutely interested in genetic risk information for myself — I agree with Kendra's "knowledge is power" sentiment. With risk information, you can make choices about prevention (and perhaps, stick to them with greater determination). But, in terms of children's health, as a parent you can make lifestyle and other choices based on family history alone, i.e., "Mom has a genetic risk and it has such-and-so inheritance pattern — which means you've got the risk of a risk. When you're older, you can choose whether to learn if you carry the risk or not."
Parents out there, what do you think? Ethical watchdogs? Genetic counselors — I know you're steeped in this — give us your two cents.

How To Prepare For Baby
9 Things To Do Before You Have a New Baby
Posted by Janssen Bradshaw
In those last few weeks before my babies have been due, it's a weird combination of feeling frantically busy (wash baby clothes! Pack your hospital bag!) and waiting around wondering when my baby will actually make her big debut.
Here are nine things I like to do before the big day to take advantage of the last pre-baby time and also to be ready for when I bring that baby home from the hospital.
Hey Mom, Time to Baby Proof!
Posted by Amnah Ibrahim
Since Amani learned to roll over, she's realized that if she pushes hard enough, she can work her way around the room. Once I set her down, she begins rolling over and and wiggling about. The problem is that she's paired this exciting milestone with another — putting things in her mouth. Now when she reaches something in front of her, she immediately puts it into her mouth. The message is loud and clear: Time to baby proof!
15 Unexpected Ways I Use Baby Wipes
Posted by Lauren Hartmann
Before becoming a mom, I mistakenly believed that baby wipes were only good for wiping baby behinds. But, now I know better and I used baby wipes for EVERYTHING. I will be carrying baby wipes around in my purse long after my babies aren't really babies anymore, because they are seriously that useful. AND…ever since I discovered these Huggies Clutch & Clean Wipes, they also got a whole lot cuter to tote around. But, I digress…here are 15 unexpected ways I use baby wipes!
11+ Things on My Hospital Packing List... Including Stuff for Baby!
Posted by Tiffany Thornton
There are a lot of different lists out there of the items new moms should bring to the hospital. Some lists are short, some are long. I have found that my friends who have never had a child and are about to give birth feel completely overwhelmed at the thought of packing for the hospital, so I thought I'd write up my list of what I took. Here it is:
The Surprising Trick That Soothes My Baby
Posted by Lauren Hartmann
When it comes to babies, there are some tried-and-true methods of soothing that most parents swear by. Once you know they are fed and have a clean diaper, you can offer them a pacifier, sway with them, swaddle them…but what if none of those things are working and you still have a crying baby?

"Good place"
No problems. Friendly, efficient. Large room a bonus.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent value"
Recently completed a four night stay here and was quite happy with my choice. Very nice neighborhood, mostly residential streets, with a wide range of eating and drinking choices very close by. It is very easy to get a cab within a block of the hotel if not right out front. The place is clean and quite well maintained and we found the staff to be helpful […] and quite friendly. As far as amenities they are a tad spartan. The rooms are quite large, especially by New York standards but if you are looking for a large flat screen TV, room service, and brand new furniture then you will be happier somewhere else. The kitchen is a very nice add-on if you are with family and want to save some cash on food. I would most definitely consider staying here again and found the Eastgate Tower to be an excellent value.

"Nice place - huge clean room older furnishings"
I think this is a good value for the money. Furnishings were older but fine for our family of 5. Our room was clean and large. We were on the 15th floor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"huge comfortable rooms"
The staff was excellent, from the concierge, Ann, to our housekeeper and the bellman. Very friendly and professional! The rooms are the largest I have ever seen in Manhattan, the beds were super comfortable, and everything was clean and neat. The kitchen exceeded our expectations, the elevators ran quickly and efficiently, the air conditioning was fine, […] and the bathroom amenities (shampoo, conditioner, etc. were first class). The hotel location was superb as we could easily walk to our broadway shows, midtown worldclass reastaurants, grand central terminal )when we needed subways to go to Wall Steet and The Met museum uptown), etc. Ann the concierge gave us recommended places to dine right around the corner that were superb and inexpensisve (Deans---Italian food that was superb, and Aquamarine for Pan Asian fusion food that we enjoyed, too). We will definitely stay here again. The best part? We saved over $100 per night over comparable hotels in Manhattan!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not like it used to be."
The hotel needs renovation. Our room was awkwardly laid out, and sofa bed mattress uncomfortable. Kitchen and bathroom and closet space was pokey and tucked into corners of the room with a large empty space for the rest of the Jr. suite. Hairdryer was broken and one elevator was for renovation work, and the other one broken at one point. Felt it was […] overpriced for these reasons. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient for short stays"
Although the hotel was clean, in my opinion the guest floors could use some modernization (TVs are a bit out of date). The lobby looks up to date. No complaints about the staff. Not having free parking with the hotel was a major pain as the parking garage associated with the hotel was difficult for me to deal with do to language barrier (I'm a naturally-born, […] English-speaking American; they were not). The worst aspect was the Wifi. I was on the 23rd floor and swear the router must have been no higher than the 20th. The connection was absolutely terrible and I barely had enough connection to do email. Since I was staying there on business, this was a huge setback for me. Bottom line: I would not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I thought it was a bit pricey for the quality of the room. with an apt. I expected more kitchen utensils,because we had prepared to at least cook breakfast,since no restaurants are near. The guest bathroom on the second floor is a no-no,when I attempted to use it, it was FILTHY.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close proximity to family"
comfortable bed, clean bedding, quiet roomGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only if it is the last hotel in NY"
Stay here, but... Only if it is the last hotel in NY. I was here 20 years ago, it looks exactly the same, only 20 yersa older and even more tired.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Huge Room"
We got a two bedroom that was obviously a converted apartment with a full kitchen, large living/dining room and two baths. This could have housed 8 or more people - so clearly a good choice for large groups. The location is decent with plenty of nearby restaurants of all kinds (fast food to upscale) on 2nd and 3rd Avenues and an easy 5 to 10 minute […] walk to Grand Central Station. If you are dividing the price among several people then this is a good choice compared to the very tiny rooms you normally pay big bucks for in NYC> Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Accomodating staff"
It was great to have a fridge and small kitchen available. We were in town with relatives for whom we rented wheelchairs. The staff was very accomodating about storing the wheelchairs in the lobby, and were flexible about dropoff and pickup.Genuine Expedia guest review
It's like a home, away from home.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Would go there again..."
Location is good and easy to 5th avenue, central park and times square. Room is in a very good condition. The hotel is more suited to families of 2 or more kids.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Stay at the Eastgate"
We have stayed a the Eastgate before and it is always niceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"this is just a one star hotel...."
The pictures that the hotel published on its web site as the Hotel's reception do not belong to the hotel, they are fake. Please go and visit the reception and you will understand what I say. This is a hotel of 1 or 2 stars and I paid like for a 4 stars hotel!!!!!. The room was clean that is all I can say. It was a steal... I will never go back and […] i would never recommend it to anyone. Pity I did not get any pics. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Eastgate Tower"
nothing glamorous but clean and affordableGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Enormous room"
Though the fixtures and the facility are a little dated, the midtown location is great and the room was gigantic for Manhattan -- kitchenette, two closets, sitting area, table/desk.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
When staying at this hotel, I was provided the best service ever. The location was close to everything. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would love to stay there again and will recommend to many..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable room, very reasonably priced."
Clean room, fresh towels every day. Beds made up each day (even the pull-out). Excellent location, reasonably priced in midtown Manhattan.Genuine Expedia guest review
"quiet location in Midtown Manhattan"
good location for staying in NY. safe neighborhood. 3-star-rating is accurate - the hotel is ok, though not luxurious. the staff is very friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good place"
Good price. Good placeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Eastgate: great for extended stays"
When I come to NYC for weeklong stays, I enjoy the Eastgate due to its large rooms, plentiful plugs & closets, and full kitchens (I love having breakfast before leaving my room). It is often hectic in the small lobby but the staff are always pleasant. It is convenient to Grand Central and airports.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Tower - Clean and Convenient"
Murray Hill neighborhood, close to Grand Central, plenty of fine but inexpensive restaurants. Hotel rooms are spacious and well maintained, with kitchenette (ours was immaculate). Very friendly and helpful staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I've stayed at this hotel before, and been more satisfied. This visit, I was given a peculiar room that was handicap-equiped, and otherwise not very appropriate. The bathroom was a long corridor with a walk-in shower. Water from the shower drained into the bathroom corridor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent location"
Very clean and convenient. Very close to Grand Central and all the trains, busses and subways. Tho the charge for wifi was high, the front desk pointed me to Starbucks and MacDonalds. Lots of free hot spots in NYC, especially in the lobbies of museums. The big win was getting a quiet hypoallergenic room - I scored a room on the 20th floor with a great […] view. I could even see the Empire State Building! The hypoallergenic request gave me a super clean room with the usual dusty bedspread removed. The kitchen was a bonus. Very nice to curl up with tea in the evening, and lovely to have breakfast when I wanted it. Also nice was a grocery store in the next block. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Tower Hotel"
The Eastgate staff were excellent and the hotel is conveniently located in a nice neighborhood. The rooms are convenient with kitchens, but the hotel rooms have not been updated in what seems to be about 25 years. Old industrial carpet and cheap finishes abound. Could be much nicer with some renovation and contemporary style added. Should be renovated […] for the price of the rooms. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great pick for an extended stay or groups"
I stayed in a standard room that came with a kitchenette (stove/oven combo, microwave, fridge, dishes, and utensils), sofa, television, table with two chairs, GIANT bed, and shower/tub combo. Though the furniture and decal was outdated, everything was clean. The hotel staff is wonderful, friendly at the front desk and quick to help you with your luggage […] and the door. The rooms are equipped with dish soap, wash cloth, and dish rag for drying, so come prepared with your own paper towels or napkins if you come traveling with wet food, messy little ones, or spill-prone adults. The view was nice and the room is quite cozy. For the price, I would recommend this hotel if you plan to stay in the city for an extended amount of time with family and are looking to spend most of your day out and come back to a place that's sorta home-y. Or, if you're traveling with a group of friends and grab some food one night and a bottle of wine or a case of beer... this hotel would be up your alley and worth a try. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The Eastgate Hotel - a nice place to stay"
I chose to stay at The Eastgate Hotel because it was close to where I needed to be and the price was right. My room was nicely furnished, clean and quiet. I found the kitchen to be very handy and useful dealing with the leftovers I brought home. I definitely plan to include The Eastgate Hotel in my visits to New York.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Convenience"
The hotel is very convenient to the Midtown tunnel and Long Island City. The neighborhood is relatively quiet at night which is good for those needing to catch up on some sleep. The rooms were very big but the furniture was dated. Not bad though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Huge Suite"
Was given a free upgrade to the larger suite. Wow. This is definitely the place to come if you're traveling with friends or family.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Tower Hotel"
Old decor, but incredible location, friendly service, massive suites (cheaper than most rooms in town), and perfectly clean. Nothing to not like.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I'll recommend this hotel to my friends"
It's amazing to find a hotel in this price in this location.Genuine Expedia guest review
"the Kings stay at Hotel b"
Well the hotel was nice and the staff was pretty nice, and the lady in the front desk was very pretty and nice,lol. but the only thing i didn't like was the parking deal. Me and My cuz stay two days and had to pay $70 dollars to park, and we didnt even use the car. Besides that nice place to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value for the money"
My room was huge, but most of the furniture looked like it came from a thrift shop in Brooklyn. However, the bed was fine and the price was right. For a convenient place to sleep while on a business trip, you can't beat it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel has seen better days"
This hotel seems in desperate need of an overhaul.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
NICE LARGE ROOM, GREAT LOCATION, LOVED HAVING THE KITCHENETTE.....THE STAFF COULDN'T HAVE BEEN FRIENDLIER AND MORE ACCOMMODATING!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A Great Place to Stay in NYC"
A real find. While some of the furniture shows some wear, it was extremely clean with a great location, and it was very spacious. We were upgraded to a one bedroom suite for an amazingly low price. We definitely will stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice stay!"
Early check in and staff found us a room and let us have access. Very friendly staff. Maid staff friendly and rooms nice size though a bit dated. Biggest negative? Mattress was not up to our standards. Close to the un and union station. Market nearby and cabs available. Nice base to operate from.....nice low rate.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Towers"
Good location. Very helpful staff a and reasonable ratesGenuine Expedia guest review
Ideal for Families with children. Do not consider it if you are going with a girlfriend to NYC for a romantic weekend. She is going to break up with you...Clean, spacious rooms. The tower was probably condos which were converted to a hotel. May go again in 15 years from now (with my children..)Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location for the price"
We stayed here over Christmas and were pleasantly surprised considering some of the other reviews. A big plus was the kitchenette and large walk in closet + additional closet space provided ample storage. Nice king bed and not too noisy. Wish they offered a small breakfast for the price, but hey the location was ideal- 5min walk to Grand Central to […] catch the subway anywhere you want to go from there.

"Do not miss it if you stay in New York!"
Excelent location, rooms very clean and comfortable, very friendly staff. And If you like to do your own cuisine, you have a supermarket a two blocks from the hotel. Very convenient for the price you get!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to Grand Central, Large Apartment Rooms"
Eastgate pluses - close to Grand Central, nice neighborhood, plenty of affordable restaurants and drug stores in the area. Rooms are apartments with kitchens, very large by NYC standards. Room was very clean, but furnishings (including TV) were outdated. Basic cable, pay internet in the rooms. Hotel lobby needs refurbishing, as does the hallway carpeting. […] But for the price, can't be beat. Bring your own shampoo and soap (or buy at CVS walking over from Grand Central). Very comfortable bed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eastgate Towers, NYC"
The Eastgate was headquarters for a big family weekend event. Everybody loved it. Service was spot on. Personnel were super friendly. Neighborhood is quiet and convenient and there are tons of good places to eat. Easy access to Grand Central and Penn stations. The price - an amazing bargain!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Experience"
The East Tower hotel far surpassed my expectations. The costumer service was great from the second we walked in the door to the point of check out when we needed to store our bags during the afternoon. The location is great only a few blocks from Grand Central Station, Fifth Avenue, the Rockefeller center and walking distance to Times Square. Great […] bang for your buck! :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice size, roomy jr. suite. Small, functional kitchen. The room appeared dated and the carpet probably could've used a shampoo. Local attractions fairly close, walking distance. Internet access for a fee. Easy access to taxis. Close to restaurants, drug stores, market, etc. Satisfactory stay for a family of four.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"home for the holidays at Eastgate Tower"
As a native New Yorker-turned-Texan, I have tried lots of different hotels on my visits home, and this one was the roomiest. We were upgraded to a one BR apt, which had a huge living-dining room with fold-out couch, and the bedroom was also large and had 2 queen beds. Having the full kitchen helped us with breakfasts for 4. The hotel is 25 stories high […] and our room, a "B" room, faced west, (I think B and C face west, D and E north, A south, etc.--there are 7-8 apts per floor) with a lovely view of midtown. The next building over obscured the Empire State Bldg or we would have had a perfect view of it. The building was quiet, with a nail salon 2 doors away, and we could walk to everything we wanted to see in midtown--Macy's, Empire State, Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central, Times Square, etc etc. We actually walked to the Met, but that's about 2 miles....We ate at a little restaurant on the block, Sam's Place; it was great and open till ten (we got in on a late flight).

Hi All,
So I have been trying to avoid IE 11, but my Head teacher comes in to me today complaining that her OWA 'looks all weird' as there is no preview pane and the folders are all in the wrong place!
No pressure then, as I sit down and start clicking around for some options with her looking over my shoulder... Nothing! :confused:
Well, she's off to a meeting luckily and as she disappears mentions something about Windows updates that she let run last night.... With some Goooogling later I find out Microsoft IE 11 (I've hidden the IE 11 update from the other computers but rarely touch this one) breaks the Microsoft 2003 OWA interface (this is from the LEA exchange server not local) and it was OWA 'lite' that we were seeing! Oh and that it's been known for a couple of months (feel I've been neglecting the tech news lately).
I uninstalled IE 11 and I read that IE 10 is no better, so I have stuck with IE 9 for now.
Anyone have any alternative options?

Scout's Perch: Four Nations lacks star power but not talent
Sitting in a sea of peacoats, its difficult to feel unique.
The idea of scouting as an exercise in finding diamonds in the rough is long dead. This is particularly evident at talent gatherings like the Four Nations Tournament, which took place from November 6th thru the 10th in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Swedens William Nylander Altelius speeds down the near wing with impressive speed, stickhandles to the inside past a Finnish defender, and releases a wicked wrister to the far corner that the goalie just gets a glove on. Its not his first great play of the game, nor would it be his last. read more

SANTA ANA – A 16-year-old boy was stabbed when alleged members of a tagging crew attacked him and his friends, police said.
At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the victim and three friends were playing football in the 1100 block of South Orange Avenue when a vehicle drove up and four men jumped out, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
The men apparently yelled out the name of their tagging crew and then one of the alleged taggers stabbed the 16-year-old boy in the lower back, Bertagna said.
The victim and his friends ran and were chased into the victim's home, Bertagna said. The alleged taggers then got in their vehicle and drove southbound in Orange Avenue, he said.
The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Bertagna said.
The attackers fled in a gray four-door vehicle. The victim described his attacker as a Latino man, between 18 to 22 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, Bertagna said. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black beanie.
Bertagna said the victim and his friends do not have gang ties.
Anyone with information regarding the incident was asked to call the Santa Ana Police Department at 714-245-8648.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
"The Class" might have been set in any classroom in the Western world, and I believe most teachers would recognize it. It is about the power struggle between a teacher who wants to do good and students who disagree about what "good" is. The film is so fair that neither side is seen as right, and both seem trapped by futility.
In a lower-income, melting-pot neighborhood in Paris, Francois, the teacher, begins a school year with high hopes and a desire to be liked by his students. They are a multiethnic group of 15- and 16-year-olds, few of them prepared by the educational system to be promising candidates for Francois' hopes. None of them seem stupid, and indeed intelligence may be one of their problems: They can see clearly that the purpose of the class is to make them model citizens in a society that has little use for them.
The movie is bursting with life, energy, fears, frustrations and the quick laughter of a classroom hungry for relief. It avoids lockstep plotting and plunges into the middle of the fray, helping us become familiar with the students, suggesting more than it tells, allowing us to identify with many points of view. It is uncannily convincing.
The reason for that, I learn, involves the method of the director, Laurent Cantet, one of the most gifted new French directors. He began with a best-selling autobiographical novel by a teacher, Francois Begaudeau. He cast Begaudeau as the teacher. He worked for a year with a group of students, improvising and filming scenes. So convincing is the film that it seems documentary, but all of the students, I learn, are playing roles and not themselves.
There is a resentful Arab girl, who feels she is being undervalued by the teacher. A high-spirited African boy, very intelligent, but prone to anger. An Asian boy, also smart, who has learned (from his family's culture, perhaps) to keep a low profile and not reveal himself. Others who are confederates, pals, co-conspirators.
A lot of grief in the classroom has to do with the rote teaching of French. As the students puzzle their way through, I don't know, the passive pluperfect subjunctive or whatever, I must say I sided with them. Despite the best efforts of dedicated and gifted nuns, I never learned to diagram a sentence, something they believed was of paramount importance. Yet I have made my living by writing and speaking. You learn a language by listening and speaking. You learn how to write by reading. It's not an abstraction. Do you think the people who first used the imperfect tense felt the need to name it?
The title of the original novel translates as "Between the Walls," and indeed the film stays for the most part within the classroom. We know from Jack London that the members of a dog pack intensely observe one another. There can only be one top dog, and there are always candidates for the job. A school year begins with the teacher as top dog. Whether it ends that way is the test of a good teacher. Do you stay on top by strict discipline? With humor? By becoming the students' friend? Through psychology? Will they sense your strategy? Sometimes I think the old British public school system was best: Teachers were eccentric cranks, famous for their idiosyncrasy, and baffled their students.
Note: "The Class" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2008, and is an Oscar nominee this year for best foreign film. Reviews of Cantet's notable films "Human Resources" and "Time Out" are also on at rogerebert.com.

The Virginian-Pilot
When newly minted teacher David Squires applied for a job with Norfolk, the division hired him for one of its worst-performing, highest-poverty schools, Lafayette-Winona Middle School.
Squires noticed another distinction after he got there. "At Lafayette, there seemed to be a lot of brand-new teachers in the two years I was there," he said.
Virginia's Teacher Equity Plan says students who are poor or members of minority groups shouldn't be taught by inexperienced teachers more than other children are, but that's exactly what happens at many of Norfolk's schools.
While the division has struggled to lift student scores and raise school accreditation ratings, it has assigned high proportions of inexperienced teachers to some of the least successful schools, including Lafayette-Winona, which has been denied accreditation by the state.
In 2009-10, for example, 28 percent of Lafayette-Winona teachers had two years' experience or less in teaching, according to a nationwide survey by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. Lindenwood Elementary was tops in the division, with 41 percent of its teaching staff inexperienced; the school has not been fully accredited for at least the past four years.
The federal department collected school-by-school data to examine whether states or localities discriminated by age, race or gender. ProPublica, a public-interest journalism nonprofit, released the database.
The data show that Norfolk's most successful schools had the lowest percentage of inexperienced teachers, including 3 percent at Larchmont Elementary and 5 percent at Calcott Elementary.
The schools with low rates of inexperience often had lower rates of student poverty and lower enrollment of black children.
Statewide, in 2010-11, teachers with three years' experience or less accounted for about 23 percent of teachers at high-poverty schools, but 16 percent of teachers at low-poverty schools.
Similarly, inexperienced teachers represented about 23 percent of teachers in high-minority schools, compared with 15 percent in low-minority schools, the state Department of Education reported.
In Norfolk, principals interview candidates for vacancies at their respective schools, but the division's human resources department ultimately decides where teachers are assigned, said Thomas Calhoun, president of the Norfolk Federation of Teachers.
Norfolk has not been monitoring where inexperienced teachers are assigned but will start to gather that data, Linda Sevigny, the division's deputy superintendent for teaching and learning, said in December.
"We are at the very beginning of looking at that because it is something the federal government is looking at," she said.
Putting inexperienced teachers in the lowest-performing schools doesn't make sense, said Karin Chenoweth, a researcher at The Education Trust, a nonprofit organization. Chenoweth was invited to speak in Norfolk last month about how districts elsewhere have turned around low-achieving schools.
Traditionally, "the higher-status teachers kind of take the kids they want, not always but often, and then the newbies get stuck with the kids nobody wants, which just perpetuates the dysfunction," she said. "It just leads to the lowest-performing kids never getting out of that category."
Chenoweth said the reverse should be true.
"The highest-performing kids, the most motivated kids, they just need good teachers. They don't need great teachers in the same way that if we only have a few great teachers, the lowest-performing kids need them," she said.
Yet Norfolk has provided "weak and insufficient incentives" for teachers to work in low-performing schools, according to a 2012 review of the division by the nonprofit Council of the Great City Schools.
"Teachers taking the incentives sometimes worked in the low-performing school only for a year and then would return to their original schools," the review stated.
The review also said Norfolk has a "significant number" of new teachers, who often have a greater need for written guidance to understand the division's standards. New teachers also need a deeper understanding of what to look for in student work and how to customize instruction to meet individual students' needs, "including for those students who are struggling," the report said.
At Lafayette-Winona, teachers fresh out of college struggled in particular with student discipline, said Squires, a former journalist who entered teaching via Old Dominion University's education career-switcher program.
"I saw more trouble with brand-new, wet-behind-the-ears people who never had a real job in their life," said Squires, who left Norfolk to live closer to ailing relatives in North Carolina. "That first year is going to be hell."
Inexperienced teachers might be less equipped than veteran educators to deal with classroom management, Calhoun said.
"When you're taking teaching courses, that's not hit on," Calhoun said. "The first time you walk into a classroom and tell a child to sit and they say no, what do you do then?" He said low-performing schools typically have a higher incidence of student misbehavior.
Squires, who last taught in Norfolk in 2010-11, said inexperienced teachers should be broken in by being assigned first to schools with fewer disciplinary problems and struggling students.
Angel Barnhill, president of the Lafayette-Winona Middle School PTA, said inexperienced teachers might bring fresh idealism to the classroom, while seasoned teachers bring tried-and-true methods of instruction and mentoring for new hires.
But both groups should be spread evenly across the division, she said. "I think it should be more of a balance."
Barrett Hicks of Tidewater Connection, a Campostella-area advocacy group, agreed.
"The best of the best, no question, should be going to those schools where the greatest need is," he said. "There should at least be a balance, and not heavily weighed where new teachers go to minority communities. It's unfair to the teachers, and unquestionably for the student."
The division already has the power to transfer teachers from one school to another, even if the teachers haven't volunteered to move. According to School Board policy, the superintendent can reassign any employee to any school or facility as long as the change doesn't affect the worker's salary for that school year.
The division's power to transfer staff was highlighted in the fall, when the administration reassigned two Taylor Elementary teachers to different schools to reach the required teacher/pupil ratio at those locations.
At Taylor, which is fully accredited, black students are in the minority compared with whites, and lower-income students represent about a third of total enrollment. In comparison, the division overall is 65 percent lower-income and about 62 percent black.
Additionally, just 9 percent of teachers at Taylor were inexperienced as of 2009-10.
The involuntary transfers, which occurred several weeks after the school year began, were strongly denounced by several Taylor school parents.
Why? One reason was that it was the first time any Taylor teacher had been involuntarily transferred, Superintendent Samuel King told the board at its retreat this month.
"This was a school that was protected in the past" from involuntary teacher transfers, King said,.
That statement was no surprise to Calhoun, who said the division's unwritten practice has been to shield its most successful and prestigious schools from involuntary teacher transfers.
The ideal, he said, would be for each school to have a more equitable mix of inexperienced and seasoned teachers so that experienced staff could mentor the newer educators.
But, "to institute it, you're going to step on some toes and they're going to holler," he said of teachers and parents.
Board member Rodney Jordan agreed that "a child's zip code should not be the primary determinant of how many experienced teachers he or she encounters."
But Jordan said reducing concentrations of poverty in schools and improving education may be a better strategy than reassigning teachers within the division. He said research shows that high-poverty schools have more difficulty attracting experienced teachers.
"We need to grow the pie of mixed-income schools with learning environments attractive to parents, students, and teachers," he said. "The issue is not as simple as, do we take away from Taylor to give to Campostella. To me, it is: What are the formulae or conditions we need in order to have a successful district for all students?"
King said last week that some inexperienced hires prove to be excellent teachers, just as some long-time teachers might not necessarily be top educators.
Nonetheless, he said, the disparate levels of inexperienced teachers in individual schools "is something we know we have to watch, something we have to monitor."
King said his goal is to hire teaching applicants whose background - as a student teacher or even in another profession - demonstrates a good fit with the conditions found in schools with staff vacancies.
Holding job fairs for specific, hard-to-staff schools is one option the division is considering. Recruiting at colleges known for exposing student teachers to a mix of school environments is another.
"Let's say we have an opening in a school that has 60 percent poverty - what kind of experience did you have in pre-service" or student teaching, in comparable schools, King said.
Recruitment and screening like this is crucial, he said.
"If you don't do that and just send candidates out and don't look at what the needs are in the school, you're going to have problems."

Policy Papers - July 15, 2004
Business and International Crimes: Assessing the Liability of Business Entities for Grave Violations of International Law
International Peace Institute and FAFO
There is a climate of impunity surrounding economic activities that promote or sustain conflict and human rights abuse. Many private business entities in search of extractive resources and inexpensive labor operate in developing countries beset by violence, repression, or war, where effective governance and accountability are absent. The exploitation of and trade in natural resources and other so-called "conflict commodities"provide a major source of revenue for criminalized elites or rebel factions.
The two studies summarized here map the provisions of the relevant international and national laws, and summarize the jurisprudence developed by national and international case law. The objective of our approach has been to promote the systematic identification and strengthening of existing criminal law norms and practices as a mechanism to effectively deter and sanction illicit economic exploitation in repressive or war-torn countries.
To this end, Business and International Crimes is addressed to policymakers and practitioners in government and business, as well as affected communities and civil society organizations. Ultimately, the project represents a modest attempt to provide some clarity about the nature and extent of the legal foundations for the regulation of private sector activities in those countries. It is our hope that the study will prompt further legal research by jurists, consideration of legal action by the appropriate authorities or affected communities, and development of internal compliance procedures by companies operating in conflict zones.

A C-terminal green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion to a model target protein, Escherichia coli CheY, was exploited both as a reporter of the accumulation of soluble recombinant protein, and to develop a generic approach to optimize protein yields. The rapid accumulation of CheY∷GFP expressed from a pET20 vector under the control of an isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG)-inducible T7 RNA polymerase resulted not only in the well-documented growth arrest but also loss of culturability and overgrowth of the productive population using plasmid-deficient bacteria. The highest yields of soluble CheY∷GFP as judged from the fluorescence levels were achieved using very low concentrations of IPTG, which avoid growth arrest and loss of culturability postinduction. Optimal product yields were obtained with 8 μM IPTG, a concentration so low that insufficient T7 RNA polymerase accumulated to be detectable by Western blot analysis. The improved protocol was shown to be suitable for process scale-up and intensification. It is also applicable to the accumulation of an untagged heterologous protein, cytochrome c2 from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which requires both secretion and extensive post-translational modification.
