December 20 2014 Latest news:
By DAN GRIMMER
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
Councillors have agreed that a share of £8m one-off funding announced to help vulnerable people in Norfolk should be targeted to help protect older people.
Norfolk County Council's controlling cabinet announced on Monday that the extra £8m would be available, created partly from a government grant awarded because the authority is freezing its share of the council tax and partly through money recovered from Icelandic banks.
Various council committees and panels now have to meet to agree what the money should be spent on, but the controlling cabinet has offered a "strong view" of where the money should be used, including:
Investing more in prevention services for vulnerable older people.
Supporting vulnerable children and families.
School improvement work.
Investing in "critical highways improvement schemes" to support communities and businesses.
Investing in schemes and projects which make a "day to day difference" to communities – such as community construction projects, activities for young people and parish highways schemes.
At a meeting of the council's community services overview and scrutiny panel yesterday, it was agreed that some of the cash should be used to invest in prevention services – to protect people aged 75 and over.
The exact detail of how the money will be spent and how much adult social services will receive has yet to be decided.
Harry Humphrey, cabinet member for finance, said: "Clearly, we could choose to put that funding into reserves, but I firmly believe we should use it on priority areas such as caring for our older residents, supporting children, families and young people and investing in our community infrastructure, which also helps the Norfolk economy by giving work to our construction industry."
Further details of the county council's budget for 2013-14 will emerge at the cabinet meeting on Monday, January 28, with councillors due to agree the budget at a full meeting of the council on Monday, February 18.

I think it's time to start a thread discussing & promoting the use of DIPOLE surround speakers in 5.1 and 7.1 systems.
I've used many different types of speakers as surrounds. But until recently, I always thought that regular front-firing speakers were better for the surrounds, as they were a closer match to the fronts.
Damn... was I wrong!
After trying out a few types of dipoles and bipoles, I wonder why everyone doesn't have dipoles in their system. I'm also amazed that more hi-fi shops don't sell or push them... or even KNOW about them, as is all too often the case here in Australia !
Quick Definitions....
A good bi-pole speaker will have two sets of drivers facing away from each other, firing sound out into the room. This sound will then cover a wider area, and bounce off the side and back walls, helping to create a bigger sound that allows more people in the room to "get surrounded".
The same as bi-pole , but the drivers on either side of the speaker will run out-of-phase with each other. THX recommend this. The advantage is that it's harder to tell exactly where the speaker is as it sounds more diffuse. It's also harder for you to get ear-bashed by one of the surround speakers if you're stuck sitting off to one side. So opens up the "sweet spot".
So here are some advantages...
1. A wider, bigger sound - much closer to the result you get from multiple surround speakers in a movie theatre.
2. A much wider listening sweet spot for everyone in the room.
3. They're easy to wall-mount.
4. They're often more compact than a regular bookshelf speaker, and a lot more wall-friendly.
Here's an interesting shoot-out between dipoles and front-firing speakers. There are six pages with pictures. This will link to the summary...
Here's some more blurb: "The Case for Dipole surrounds":
One issue dipoles can have compared to bipole or front-firing speakers, is reduced bass. This is because the bass drivers are running out-of-phase with each other. Be aware though, that several manufacturers make dipoles that avoid this problem....
PARADIGM really know how to make great surround speakers. Their ADP190 would have to be my favourite all-round surround speaker for the majority of people. Paradigm design all their surround speakers so that the deeper bass is kept in phase....
MONITOR AUDIO also make nice surround speakers. The less expensive models have only one bass driver, but they can be switched between dipole and bipole, like this one...
JBL make some THX-approved models...
INFINITY make a unique speaker called the ES250. I own a pair of these. They can be switched between dipole, bipole and dual-monopole, where they operate as two separate speaker channels in one wall-mounted unit. Handy for 7.1 where you can't mount rear-wall speakers....
JBL now make one just like the Infinity...

In an era currently saddled neck-deep in genre-dictated complacency, it�s often hard for discriminating music fans to find bands imbued with a sense of originality. The gentlemen behind Bear Vs Shark (BVS) � one of Equal Vision�s most dizzyingly talented and diverse outfits � feel the exact same way. After all, these Michigan natives are, above everything, music fans themselves, which seems like something of an oddity when the majority of modern musical success is predominantly based upon purely financial and corporate themed goals.
BVS, however, has much more refreshing intentions. According to amiable frontman Marc Paffi, �We want our records and shows to be as vibrant and exciting for us as they might be for our fans. We�re all fans of older music and take influence from a lot of the stuff we grew up listening to. I think that helps us have a unique slant on things, especially during a time when so much music seems to be mass-produced.�
With originality as a template, BVS took its layered, grooving cabin-fever creations into producer Matt Ellard�s (Motorhead, Morphine, Converge) studio to put together Terrorhawk�the group�s most accomplished record to date. Building on the Fugazi meets Motown rhythms and grooves associated with the group�s debut LP (Right Now, You�re in the Best of Hands...), Terrorhawk contains fifteen tracks of a weathered and harrowing mixture of post-hardcore and rollicking rock fused tight with gut-wrenching soul, which further defines BVS as a group of individuals that is greater than the sum of its parts. While the sound on the new record will be fairly familiar to BVS�s ever-increasing devoted fan base, Terrorhawk is an amalgam of the group�s collective musical passions and obsessions--ranging from Black Sabbath to The Commodores.
�We feel that Terrorhawk is a diverse musical experience and the whole album should be viewed as a single entity, as opposed to having a string of singles,� guitarist/bassist John Gaviglio insists. �We still have the high energy ethic that our first record had, but we�ve tried to change up the tempos a bit; we wanted to explore new sounds and moods in our musicianship. We never really try to go for a certain sound. I think the mood dictates the songs for us as opposed to us trying to dictate the mood.�
But experimentation and inspiration aren�t the only things that make this five-piece so unique. Case in point: how many other bands would have the gumption to spend two weeks in a shanty located within the confines of the upper peninsula of Michigan to focus on the writing of a record?
�We wrote 60 percent our new album (Terrorhawk) in a cabin with four-wheelers and crossbows,� Paffi fondly remembers. �This is honestly one of the most important components of the album because we really took this time alone with each other to put all of our influences in the songs. I think it�s an honest document that we really put our hearts into.�
To complement the raw emotional honesty of BVS�s music and lyrics, the artwork of Paffi � as equally dedicated artist and painter as he is a musician � once again graces the layout throughout the entirety of the package of the new album. Although most modern groups tend to go for computer graphics and glossy photos, BVS prefers to utilize Paffi�s unique take on the world in an effort to further develop the overall one-of-a-kind nature of the band.
�I�ve been a painter longer than I�ve been involved in music,� Paffi shares. �I�m always sketching pictures and paintings during the writing of our records, so we just compile all my pictures from that period and pick some to use for our artwork. It�s another outlet for me to explore.�
Speaking of outlets, BVS just happens to have one of the most rigorous touring schedules known to man. The band is surely no stranger to the road with numerous trips up and down the interstates with a variety of diverse artists, not to mention wowing folks at select Warped dates, Krazy Fest, SkateSurf and SXSW.
While BVS�s consistent touring ethic goes without saying, what really sets the group�s live show apart is its intense and cathartic let-it-all-out ability. Many fans, in fact, were made converts strictly because of the band�s kinetic live shows, where one is bound to see BVS spilling it all out every single night. In fact, Paffi has even been known to take his act right on down to the floor and in the audience�s face.
�I guess this just reflects my background in growing up and seeing bands that really put something extra at shows,� Paffi states. �In a way, I�m surprised that people do sometimes seem shocked at our laying it all out there. It just seems natural to us.�
But then again, what seems status quo for these musical mavericks is just another aspect that sets BVS apart from its contemporaries. While BVS may not play the typical sounds that the mainstream is currently pushing, one cannot deny the passion that sweats through the speakers either via the experience of a recording or bearing witness to one of the unit�s chaotic and intimate live sets.
As Gaviglio concludes, �We want to have people like our band but we�re not trying to reach out to a certain demographic. We are just trying to be ourselves, while having as much fun as possible.�

Q: I have an iPod mini and I want to put my contacts on it. I already put them into Microsoft's Address Book and put them in the iPod's "Contacts" folder using Windows Explorer, but they don't show up on my iPod. Please help me!
- Chloe
A: You're quite close! The iPod indeed reads contacts from its "Contacts" folder, and you're correct that you're supposed to manually place them there. However, you need to first be sure that the contacts files are in standard vCard format. Most modern address book programs offer an option to "Export to vCard." Do this, then move those files to the "Contacts" folder as you did before.
Alternatively, there are some utilities that can help you along the way. iPodAgent, for example is a $15.00 utility that will (among many other things) automatically export your contacts, calendar, and tasks from Microsoft Outlook to your iPod. Check our Software section for other options.

Home Remedies for Excessive Underarm Sweating
Are you frequently embarrassed by your excessive armpit sweating? Well, you should worry no more; there are a lot of things you can do to control this situation. While perspiration is crucial in eliminating toxins and impurities in the body, too much of it can be a problem. Medication, prescription antiperspirants, surgery, and Botox are some of the most popular treatments. However, even though these treatments are highly effective, they can also be costly and risky. If you want a safer and cheaper alternative, you should try home remedies.
Home remedies for excessive underarm sweating include modifying your diet. This can actually work for a mild case of axillary hyperhidrosis. By avoiding trigger food and beverages such as sugary desserts, curries, and caffeinated drinks, you can prevent excessive perspiration. These comestibles tend to induce sweating. Likewise, you should avoid consuming food that are hard to digest such as raw vegetables, red meat, and dairy products. These food tend to require extra exertion for metabolizing, and can therefore induce perspiration.
There are also homeopathic remedies for this kind of problem. These remedies are simple and inexpensive. You can easily find the ingredients in your kitchen. Cornstarch, for instance, is very effective. You can apply it on your underarms to absorb moisture. A little lemon juice or apple cider can help counteract odor as well as balance the pH levels in your skin. In addition, you can try using steeped black tea as a natural astringent. You can apply it on your underarms to control your perspiration.
Another way to treat your problem with excessive sweating is by making a bath salt. This will draw out impurities and unclog pores. A bath salt can help you eliminate the toxins in your body. All you have to do is mix half a cup of borax, a cup of sea salt, a cup of baking soda, and any essential oil. Popular choices include lime, lemon, orange, geranium, peppermint, and spearmint essential oils. Pour half a cup of the remedy mix into your bath. You should soak your body for ten to twenty minutes.
If you wish to effectively kill bacteria naturally, you should use witch hazel and tea tree oil. These elements make great home remedies for excessive underarm sweating. Witch hazel can be purchased at your local health food store. It is an herb that contains natural antibacterial properties. You can use it as a natural deodorant. Just soak a small cotton pad into it and apply it directly to your underarm. However, you should be careful if you have broken or sensitive skin. Consult your doctor regarding this.
Likewise, tea tree oil makes a great natural deodorant. It has a woodsy scent, and it can help fight against bacteria. It can also help you reduce underarm perspiration. Just put one to two drops of this oil on your hand and rub directly on your underarm. In case it irritates your skin, you can try mixing it with three to four drops of olive oil.
If you want to learn more from the expert about home remedies for excessive underarm sweating with alternative method, please visit this guide.

Firstly, this topic is about Zedge groups.
Your 11 year old brother shouldn't be using this site, it's for people over 16. And there are no app's here for the iPod.
About the games, that's just how it is. We've been through it many times previously and it's not going to change.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Dr. Greg Raleigh wants to change how and what you pay for your smartphone services. His new venture called Zact also aims to lower your monthly bill.
Zact is launching today and currently utilizes Sprint's (S) 3G and 4G/LTE networks but can be also be used by any other provider on the planet. The difference here is how these services are offered.
Raleigh seems to know exactly what he's doing when it comes to cellular stuff. He's been involved in a number of previous technology companies like Clarity Wireless (now Cisco (CSCO)) and Airgo (now Qualcomm (QCOM)). According to his bio, he "invented core technology in 4G/LTE devices as well as developing the Wi-fi standards known as 802.11n and 802.11ac". I've spoken with him. He knows his stuff.
Raleigh is the founder of the California-based company called ItsOn - a group of experts trying to change the way mobile services are delivered and consumed. ItsOn is privately-held and is funded by Andreessen Horowitz, SV Angel, Verizon (VZ), Vodafone (VOD), and Best Buy (BBY). In addition to selling their new ideas to other companies, ItsOn decided to market a cloud-based service of their own - Zact - to show everyone how it could/should be done.Zact wants to change what you pay for your monthly cell phone service. The idea is simple. You'll be able to pick and choose each and every facet of your monthly service - such voice calls, SMS, and mobile Web - and pay for what you want and need. If you see you're going over your chosen allotment of minutes or messages or data you can adjust your account on your phone - on the fly. For instance, say you're at 300 minutes (or however much you choose) of voice and there's another week to go in the month. You can adjust your Zact account accordingly. On the fly. On your phone. Right then and there. Whether you need more or fewer services you make the changes yourself. Just need email and not other Web services? There is an option for that too.

We provide military veterans with resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and post-graduation. Read more about us
WASHINGTON, DC- The HSC Foundation has awarded Student Veterans of America (SVA) a grant to assume the management and operation of the National Veterans Center (NVC) starting in January 2013. The National Veterans Center is located within the National Youth Transitions Center (NYTC) in Washington, DC. SVA is an active member of the National Youth Transitions Collaborative, a group of 40 plus like-minded organizations involved in NYTC programming. SVA is also represented on the Leadership Council, the executive body of the Collaborative.
The HSC Foundation issued a competitive Request For Proposal which resulted in the selection of the Student Veterans of America to lead the charge in establishing the National Veterans Center as the nation's premier site for serving young veterans, with an emphasis on wounded warriors. SVA's vision for the Center is to become "America's laboratory" for developing, testing, and delivering new solutions to help returning veterans successfully transition to academic life; achieve academic success; and find jobs and careers in the civilian sector.
"We are pleased to partner with a dynamic organization such as Student Veterans of America" stated Dr. Thomas W. Chapman, President and CEO of The HSC Foundation. SVA has had tremendous success within their own organization in a short period of time, and we believe it is due to the energy and innovation they employ in reaching out to this group of young men and women and fully understanding their perspective around their needs.
Michael Dukdak, Executive Director of Student Veterans of America, commented, "We're extremely excited for the opportunity to manage the National Veterans Center and establish a host of innovative programs and services that prepare this generation of veterans for the careers of tomorrow. We will not accomplish this mission alone and plan to collaborate with key partners in higher education, the veterans community, and public and private sector."
About The HSC Foundation

Chicago was once the most racially divided of American cities; and yet it is today at the centre of a political process which may end in the election of the nation's first black president.
It is in Chicago that Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, embarked on his political path. And it is in Chicago where he will be when the results in the election begin to come in on November 4.
To understand the city's role in Obama's rise to prominence its necessary to go back more than two decades.
That was when, as a 24-year-old, he decided to work as a community organiser in the South Side, a largely run-down part of Chicago with a majority African-American population.
We met up with Linda Randle, who the 1980s worked as an activist and organiser in Chicago's civil rights movement.
In 1986, she was working to improve the living conditions of about 4,500 African Americans living in Altgeld Gardens, a housing development established for servicemen returning after the World War II.
The issue at the time was the removal of asbestos used in the construction of the housing.
Over a period of four years people like Linda Randle took on the city and the state in a legal and political battle to get the asbestos removed.
Learning to fight
It is in this period that she got to know Obama, who was working alongside her.
"He never took credit for anything that he personally did not perform", she told us.
"I think that 99 per cent of working here and being out and learning that you have to fight so many people to get things done was the lesson that he will always carry with him".
Over lunch as he tells us that she has five children, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
In her home she half-jokingly adds that anybody who did not register as a voter at 18-years of age does not get any food.
The vote, she believes, is the real power of the people, the only way in which each person can influence the policy that determines how you live.
Chicago legacy
Barack Obama, she believes, is the result of a process that began in Chicago decades ago.
In particular she remembers fondly the first black mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, who died in 1989 at the end of his four years in office.
The story she and others tell about Washington is an engaging one: How during his mayoral campaign he was confronted by an angry white woman who could not imagine the idea of a black mayor.
"You can run from me and hide from me," Washington boomed back at the woman "but you will not stop me from finding you and being fair to you".
The woman became a supporter, and another step towards narrowing the racial divide was taken.
Randle says this is something that became a central part of Obama's political philosophy - a concept of fairness that is not determined by race, age, gender or creed.
It is the foundation of a value system that she says Obama believes in, and one that she shares.
Historic change
Back in Altgeld Gardens, children were playing basketball during a school break.
In decades past there was no possibility that one of these African-Americans could become a president. Now, whether Obama wins or not, the possibility has been made real.
With the children laughing behind I ask her what she feels about the possibility of an Obama victory.
Her face lights up, she chuckles, and says "I'll take it."
"I'll take it any day of the week."

Giant mythological super beings, dudes throwing lightning bolts, giants with fifty heads: doesn't get much better than that. Oh, you're not a fan of the action? You're more of a drama person? Well, then, here's a little something for you: this story is also full of love, betrayal, family hardship, and triumph in the face of tyranny. Oh, and bonus: the story of the war of the Titans contains the answer to life, the universe, and, well, everything.
This story of the war between the elder gods, also known as the Titans, and their younger siblings, the Olympians, is totally epic. It's also one of our best early examples of how a story can change (and boy do we mean change) when told by many different authors. The story of the Titan war was handled in bits and pieces by dozens of authors, and trying to read it is like listening to a bunch of old Greek dudes play Telephone.
To make matters worse, most of the authors who wrote about the war only covered small pieces of it. The closest thing that we have to the "whole story" is a poem about the creation of the universe. This poem, called the Theogony, was written sometime during the 8th century BC by a part-time poet named Hesiod. And sure, the Theogony is our best source for information about the war, but it's a bit dry. We don't want to say that it's boring but… it's a little boring. A good war needs juicy details, which is probably why later authors seem to have embellished (added to) Hesiod's version to make it more interesting. But all this piecing together means that just figuring out who did what to whom can be quite a challenge.
So we already talked about playing Telephone, but it turns out that this whole going-through-a-lot-of-people-before-it-gets-to-you thing is a pretty everyday occurrence. Think about it: whenever you (or your parents) turn on the news to catch up on daily events, there's a good chance that the reports you're hearing have gone through at least three of four different people before they get to you. And to top it off, people who witness the same event don't always notice the same things.
Lately, we've been seeing the Titan War pop up all over – in movies, books, TV shows, and even video games. Rick Riordan spends a lot of time with the Titans in his popular novel series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians and there have even been a handful of Hollywood blockbusters (think Clash of the Titans [2010] and Immortals [2011]). Finally, the Titans smash their way onto the videogame screen in games like God of War. Now's your chance to become a Titans buff: knowing how this war really went down will help you better understand how today's artists are interpreting the mythology.

Prep: 8 minutes; Cook: 30 minutes
Mint may not be the first herb you would choose to pair with potatoes and garlic, but the flavor combination is outstanding. These potatoes are an ideal side for lamb, but they also pair well with roasted chicken.
Oxmoor House JUNE 2006

2. Combine potatoes, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; toss well to coat potatoes.

Land of Odds - Jewelry Design Center
The Open Window Gallery - Fine Art Jewelry
Open Window Gallery
The Open Window Gallery showcases the works of bead and jewelry artists, both local and worldwide. These artists work with glass and vintage glass, fused and lampworked glass, gemstones, shells and other natural materials, sterling silver, gold-filled and 14KT, among other materials.
These artists create wonderful and imaginative pieces, using extraordinary materials in exciting ways. These artists guarantee the quality of their work.
Some of the artists in the Gallery:

and Bead Artists On The Web
I am a professional puppeteer. I created Crafty Characters Puppets Troupe in 1990, to bring culturally diverse stories to young audiences. Literature and reading are stressed as the characters jump from the page to the puppet stage.
In 1991, I became a teaching artist with the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. Working extensively in the pre-K classroom, I develop activities, stories, and songs that are developmentally appropriate, educationally sound, and promote the love of learning. In 2001, Wolf Trap designated me a Mater Artist, which enables me to provide residencies and puppetry workshops nationwide.
The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, has included me on their National Touring Roster. My workshop: "Meeting Famous Americans: A History Lesson Through Puppetry" is offered to teachers K-4.
My love affair with beads began in 1987. My focus has been on beadweaving, particularly peyote, brick, ndebele, and crochet beaded ropes.
In March 2002, my bedwork and puppetry were shown in the main gallery at the Appalchian Center for Crafts.
I am honored to have one of my beaded pop-up puppets featured in the gallery of netted beadwork in Diane Fitzgerald's book, "Netted Beadwork".
I provide classes in Beaded Crochet Ropes at Bedazzled Beads in Nashville, TN.
Sylvanye started her artisan career 8 years ago with rubber stamps and ink, designing one of a kind cards and books.
Four years later, she expanded her creativity to include polymer clay and lampworking. But it wasn't until she created her first fused glass piece of jewelry that she realized glass would be her ultimate medium of choice.......and so the love affair with glass began.
Sylvanye creates one of a kind jewelry using two or more pieces of dichroic glass fired at 1575 degrees over a course of 12 hours or more. Many of her custom jewelry pieces take advantage of her silversmithing talents where she handcrafts beautiful beads and bails out of raw silver. She believes this embellishment adds a rich and sophisticated dimension to her one of a kind glass jewelry creations.
Sylvanye enjoys sharing her lvoe of glass and the majesty it brings.

Plastic Coasters
Colorful straws take on a supporting role for cocktails with a few strips of bright duct tape.
Step 1: Using sharp scissors, cut 15 straws of the same color to a length of 5 1/2 inches. Repeat with 15 straws in a second color. Next, create a "loom" by drawing a 5 1/2-inch square on a piece of cardboard.
Step 2: Beginning with straws of one color, squeeze an end between your thumb and index finger; run the straw between your thumb and finger to flatten. Tape the straw's ends flat along opposite sides of the cardboard square. Continue flattening and taping straws down, side by side, until the square is filled. Depending on the width of your straws, you'll need 13 to 15.
Step 3: Weave the other color straws, one at a time, in and out through the taped-down straws. Push the straws tightly together as you go, to form a checkerboard pattern.
Step 4: Cut four 7-inch-long strips from a roll of duct tape in a coordinating color ($9.26 for 2"W x 180'L roll; amazon.com). Place 1 strip atop each side of the square so that 1 1/2 inches of the tape rests on the straws. Using an X-Acto knife, cut all the way through the tape and the straws on each side to create a clean square that measures approximately 4 1/2 inches. Discard the cardboard loom.
Step 5: Finish off the coaster's edges by cutting four 1-inch-wide strips of duct tape. Fold 1 strip over each edge to create a 1/2-inch border, trimming as needed, for extra polish.

A North Buffalo church was damaged by fire last spring and now the owners want to demolish it. However, some city leaders think it could still be a viable part of the community. YNN's Katie Cummings has more on some of the ideas being proposed for the site.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Korean United Methodist Church at the corner of Colvin and Tacoma Avenues in Buffalo was badly damaged by a fire last April. The owners went to the City Preservation Board on Thursday, to ask for permission to demolish the building.
"There are portions of the exterior sections of the building that are prepared to fall away. They'll be on the street on Colvin Avenue in particular and next to the homes that are adjacent to the building," said Rev. Thomas Clemow.
The pastor says at least three developers have expressed interest in the property.
"It would restore a tax exempt property to the tax rolls of the city of Buffalo. It would enable additional housing opportunities to be constructed on that corner," he said.
Meanwhile, Delaware district councilman Michael LoCurto is against the demolition, saying it would take away a part of the community.
"I think it would be better for the neighborhood to keep that kind of historic structure there than try to build some modern cookie cutter development that might not fit the character of the neighborhood," said LoCurto, (D).
LoCurto says he wants the building to be re-purposed in some way, possibly as apartments or businesses.
He says neighbors have complained about the property for years since it was vacant for more than four years before the fire.
"The neighbors were cutting the grass themselves because they were so frustrated by it and there was graffiti and people congregating in the back there."
The Preservation Board has filed a request for the property to be designated as a local landmark. The Board plans to visit the site next Tuesday to study the damage.
"I think by removing this building you are going to further deteriorate a good neighborhood so we full support any effort to save the church," said Paul McDonnell, Preservation Board Chairman. "One thing that we do not want is demolition.
To be designated as a landmark, it would have to go before the Common Council but LoCurto doesn't expect that to come up till at least January.

Restructuring at Oneida County Health Department
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, Jr. has announced a major restructuring of the county health department which includes the creation of an upper-level position the department has never had. Picente on Tuesday announced that Phyllis Ellis, former Vice President in Charge of Emergency Medical Services for St. Elizabeth Medical Center, will be the new director of the Oneida County Health Department. Ellis created the hospital's trauma program in 1987 The county executive also announced that for the first time ever, the department of about 90 workers will have a deputy director. Patrice Bogan, who has served as interim director for the past year, will become deputy. Picente says another layer of management is warranted in a department that's involved in everything from restaurant inspections to rabies clinics. "We have seen in this community various areas of small time epidemics, to flooding to environmental issues to various of concern in our schools," said Picente, adding that the department must also carry out various state and federal mandates as well. It's too early for Ellis to set forth any goals, as she hasn't been in the department yet; the County Board of Legislators has to approve her appointment and isn't expected to do so until mid-August. However, she is excited about the public aspect of public health. "I'm excited about working with the community because there's so many avenues in public health that you'll be out in the community working with our community partners and that's really exciting to me," says Ellis.

Although and old hotet it is in good condition and very nice throughout. The room was well appointed and modern and the bed was comfortable.
Bathroom was small. But the thing I really didn't like was that on a Sunday evening the two restaurants were closed and the only option was the bar and bar food. Come on Intercontinental you can do better than that.
The staff
The food not up to the hotel quality
From entering the beautiful lobby and being greeted by the front desk staff, to the helpful restaurant staff, delicious food and gorgeous, comfortable room, everything was excellent. While we waited briefly for a cab to take us to the airport at 6:00AM, one of the staff members took my husband to the early morning breakfast area to get a breakfast to go! Fantastic services and gorgeous hotel. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you.
Staff were excellent. Customer service was outstanding.
You had to pay for wifi and I thought it was expensive.
The staff is very friendly and attentive.
The hotel is quite old and gives the impression of being run down in the public areas. Rooms are modern, but bathrooms very small.
Excelent service and facilities.
My staying at this Hotel was a good experience. The staff was very nice, and well presentable. I have no complain about it. The location is very convenient is closed to the chopping center and restaurants, I really like it.
The only thing I did not like it is, that they charge for wifi.
The hot water. The beds are AMAZINGLY comfortable.
The wake up call was 10 minutes late, but it was fine in the end.
It is a very good standard 5stars hotel. Very good breakfast. But, most amazing staff. Their concierge was way above excellent, Fernando helped us with the transfers, waited for us, even saved the day when i left my passports in the hotel. The guy even recomended a good local place for us to try.
Did like the atencion . Great service , great people.
Took so long to fix the elevator. Walk 3 set of stairs w my lodge not cool
Comfortable rooms with good bathrooms. Excellent breakfast served by excellent, helpful & friendly staff. Concierge very helpful
Unfortunately, hotel let down by front desk staff. Not well trained giving inaccurate information & poor service. We actually had to prove that our booking included breakfast much to our embarrassment. They attempted to charge us extra on our laundry bill & for a drink we had not consumed. Our advice - check everything carefully especially when checking in & out
Nice staff very helpful Very central Airport shuttle is very convenient.
Old hotel. I was surprised that my reservation including breakfast was not the one finally obtained !!

Storage | News
The Toronto District School Board, the fourth largest district in North America and the largest one in Canada, has gone public with details about its implementation of a massive virtual storage infrastructure that uses technology from EMC and Microsoft. The new setup uses Microsoft Hyper-V Server for server virtualization, EMC VNX unified storage, and EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems for backup and recovery.
The upgrade has resulted in a reduction in capacity requirements of 32 percent and a decrease in data center energy expenses by 22 percent. Likewise, data backup storage requirements have been decreased by more than 90 percent. Return on investment for the project is expected in three and a half years.
The storage refresh was intended to mitigate the need for adding additional data center space as the district grew, while also lowering the cost per terabyte and increasing storage density. The district, which has 600 schools, 250,000 students, and 40,000 staff members, was running legacy EMC gear that had inefficient usage and backup windows that crept into business hours.
The district transformed its storage infrastructure through a combination of storage consolidation, server virtualization, and what EMC terms a "FLASH 1st strategy." The latter is an architectural approach for optimizing storage arrays. This involves exploiting flash drives, cache, and flexible tiering in order to move data dynamically in "virtual pools" among storage media based on performance needs, workload, and other criteria.
According to research by IDC and EMC, "when data is older than 90 days, the probability of anyone ever requesting that data falls to 10 percent. After 180 days, that probability falls to 1 percent, and when this data is a year old, there is only 0.01 percent probability that anyone would request it." EMC's FAST Suite, which works with its VNX storage platform, can shift data across tiers as the data begins to "decay," taking advantage of lower-cost storage as the data lifecycle wends down and servicing the newest or most important data through the highest performance storage.
With the help of EMC's Residency Services, which placed company staff on-site through the implementation, the Toronto district built a storage infrastructure that uses flash and serial attached SCSI (SAS), and near-line SAS (or SATA) drives. The organization uses Unisphere, an application for managing and monitoring multiple storage resources through a single interface.
In addition, the district replaced its tape backup environment with EMC's deduplication storage systems, which sped up backup times and decreased backup storage requirements. Full weekly backups that previously took 65 hours can now be completed in less than 48 hours and restore is much faster too, according to the district.
"EMC's VNX unified storage has the best performance and efficiency at a very cost-effective price," said Peter Singh, senior manager of IT Operations. "It integrates with Microsoft Hyper-V, which is crucial to our cloud strategy, and with its higher performance, automated storage tiering, and thin provisioning, VNX was a no-brainer."
Added System Architect Zain Bhamjee, "Tasks that once took five clicks now get done in one with Unisphere. We're supporting our 325-terabyte storage environment with less than one and a half FTEs. Most shops would need three to five FTEs to manage an infrastructure our size."
