Burgundy acted weird today. I learned that burgundy gets an event and it can choose between England and France. The weird thing was that Great britain exists (from the year 1404, weird anyway) and Burgundy did not join Great Britain... It created England in the middle of europe!!!
Is this fixable by adding Great britain as a beneficiary (or have burgundy join france when England doesn't exist?). It is weird how Burgundy joins england while it doesn't exist.
A weird consequence of the same issue is that england is now a member of the HRE, while even burgundy was not... extremely weird

A little thing I noticed: The decisions to form Lotharingia, Occitania and France don't have the standard "NOT = { tag = ERG }" line. The HRE definitely shouldn't be able to form any other nations and those could feasibly be formed by it at the moment.
Also related to HRE, when you enact the last reform, your government type is not changed to that of an empire, so your king or duke or whatever will have the same lower tier title rather than emperor.
Also when uniting Japan as the Shogun your government type is not changed to that of a feudal empire or the like, instead it remains one of those daimyo governments, in the decision code in my previous post, i had modified the decision.
Also, after enacting the last reform, the Emperor doesn't get any cores on the territories he inherits. That makes for a very unstable unified HRE and usually results in it breaking really, really fast.
Knowledge is power. Hide it well.
I believe he gets cores on provinces he borders and is in his culture group, but if he got cores on all territories, he would be too powerful, not even France would stand a chance against the HRE with cores on the entire empire.
Though it is rather easy to mod in.
Code:# Renovatio triggers for Emperor... country_event = { id = 9073 title = "EVTNAME9073" desc = "EVTDESC9073" major = yes is_triggered_only = yes option = { name = "EVTOPTA9073" change_tag = ERG add_country_modifier = { name = "rome_reborn" duration = -1 } any_province = { limit = { hre = yes } add_core = emperor } any_country = { limit = { hre = yes is_emperor = no num_of_cities = 1 } country_event = 9074 } dismantle_hre = yes } }
I think that it's the whole ideea of the HRE mechanic. If you're smart enough to unify it, you should be powerful enough to kick any nation's ass in no time.
Too bad this isn't gonna happen in the curent version. You get approximately 0 cores when you enact last reform
Knowledge is power. Hide it well.
Well thank goodness they did away with the crazy rebels you used to get on new monarch every time. It killed the Savoy-led HRE when they formed. Even my mighty kilted warriors could not aid them.
Jake, every single one of your games seems to turn out epic in some way! I'd be temped to tag change just to help them out. I love the idea of the AI fomring the HRE.
Would it be possibly for an ai formed HRE to get a different event when enacting Renovatio Imperii, which gives them cores on all HRE territories, while the player still gets the old event. Or is that impossible to code?

Ahh nice, then that could be a solution for the ai forming the Holy Roman Empire, where they would not collapse because of rebellions but could actually survive while the player would only get cores on territories in his/her culture group or bordering the player.
Then they imploded =(
This was in Meiou 5.0 I believe, when there were still the awesome little breakaway countries like Argyle and Fife. My first Meiou game and it was so SO hard beating down England. Once I had them slain I took some of the mainland, forced a PU on France and Portugal then the HRE happened.
I loved those little countries. What do I have to do to add them back?
Reminds me of one of the earliest EU3 games I played, back in vanilla. It was a similar situation, but the country that stole the hereditary rule reform and unified the EMpire was Corsica of all countries.
To add countries back in, you'll have to edit countries.txt, add the necessary country file in common/countries, add a country history file in history/countries, and add its flag file in the appropriate graphics folder. You will also likely want to edit province history to give the country you add cores at the start of the scenario.

Earlier this year, a woman phoned Pauline Blakely to tell her about the time she, her mother and three siblings took a road trip to Mesa to visit family.
Driving an old, beatup car with little gas and even less money in their pockets, the family barely made it to Blakely Brothers' Service Station in Gilbert, the first of a chain of stations started in 1937.
Charles Blakely — Pauline's late husband and the youngest son of the company's founder — filled up the gas tank for free. He also gave the family some Western-themed glassware.
"She said she would never forget Mr. Blakely," said Pauline, an 81-year-old resident of Surprise.
Fond memories such as these have helped turn Blakely glassware and china into a popular collectible among Valley residents. The dishes used to be given free with each purchase of 10 gallons of gas during the 1950s and early '60s.
"It's a history of Arizona," an avid collector once told Pauline.
The frosted glasses, a set of eight embellished with different varieties of cactuses, are the most recognized and the easiest to come by. Susan Cook, owner of Antique Plaza in Mesa where Blakely items are sold, said the average cost for a single frosted glass is $7.50.
The most sought-after pieces, though, are the rare Blakely pitchers, china plates, small clear glasses and holding trays made of native Arizona pine. A set of frosted glasses with matching tray and pitcher is $150 at Diddy Dum Diddy Do, a retro furniture store in Scottsdale.
Monroe, the eldest Blakely brother, and his wife, Ruth, are credited with organizing and promoting the giveaways.
"It was popular in the '50s and '60s for gas stations to give premiums to the customers to encourage business," said Victor Linoff, antiques expert and owner of Those Were the Days! in Tempe. "The Blakely company was really one of the first."
In 1951, Blakely stations gave away a new Ford automobile every 51 days through a ticketed raffle. Winners were announced at a community event that often featured live entertainment, with Wayne Newton and Patsy Cline among the performers.
The glassware soon followed, but customers didn't pay much attention to it, Pauline said. Her daughters used to try to break the frosted glasses when their father brought them home because, according to daughter Charlene, they hated to wash them.
"None of them would have believed how popular (the dishes have) become," said Charlene, referring to brothers Charles, Monroe and Vincent.
On the August cover of Phoenix Home & Garden magazine, eight Blakely frosted glasses are pictured on the dining room table of Judy Black's vacation home in Cave Creek. Black, a lobbyist who lives in Washington, D.C., said she was attracted to the glassware's appearance.
"I've been coming to Arizona for a long time to visit my parents, and one of the things my mom and I like to do is look around flea markets and antique stores for (Blakely glassware and china)," Black said.
She has about 16 frosted glasses, one tray, eight small juice glasses, 16 white china plates with silver rims and a full set of matching teacups. On her wish list are the ivorycolored plates.
At the company's peak, there were 88 Blakely stations throughout Arizona, California and Nevada. When Gulf Oil Co. bought out Blakely in 1963, the stations were closed — all except one in Wickenburg, which Pauline still owns.
"I think it's going to be in the family for a while," she said. "But I've got about all the glassware I need."

Historical Traveller Reviews of Art Deco Hotel Montana
Luxury in Lucernefrom UtahSteph
Top-notchfrom an0nym00se
On our arrival at reception we worried about a rocky start as we were only offered a room with twin beds (despite having requested an extra-length double bed), but a supervisor immediately stepped in, juggled some bookings and solved the problem. In a similar manner, they managed to find room for us at the fully-booked Christmas dinner in the restaurant. When we ran out of time at the dinner and needed to put our son to bed, the very busy wait staff made sure we were able to have our dessert course up in our room.
Each evening, while we were away at dinner, hotel staff prepped our bed for the night, removing bedspreads, untucking sheet corners and leaving some chocolates and the next day's activities and weather report on the bed. On Christmas they left a nice gift from the hotel.
Folks used to more informal surroundings might find things slightly stiff: the hotel staff follow the hospitality textbooks to the letter and are very professional. The hotel is a little bit "cheesy" high-end in that it lives up to a lot of the service and ambience clichés of decades past, but this fact is more interesting than negative (and after all, it is an art deco hotel). The Christmas dinner in particular and the restaurant and jazz bar in general seemed to attract many locals, proving that there is a healthy market for such an offering both domestically and internationally.
The 10-minute walk to the city center is easily offset by the quality of the hotel and the view from the lakeside rooms. For those unable to walk so far, there are easy transportation options (e.g. public busses) right outside the hotel door.
There are some useful discounts (multi-day, weekend) accessible via the booking website that combined made a week's stay here less expensive than at other nominally less expensive hotels in Lucerne.
When we arrived back home, we received a hand-written "thank you" card from the hotel staff - unnecessary, but nice. We will certainly stay there again next time we are in Lucerne.
t find a better restaurant than on our own doorstep !from XS-Baggage
We stayed in a Junior Suite with two side windows & two windows looking on front over the Lake. Exceptionally spacious & super bathroom - a very comfortable room indeed.
The Restaurant is very busy with locals - usually a good sign - and it is necessary to book. The offering was sublime. During our first week we did try several other Restaurants. The Old Swiss House was good. Jaspers at The Palace Hotel was expensive and rather disappointing. The much trumpeted Cantonese 'El Tai Pei' was also rather disappointing as was the italian restaurant at The National Hotel. Good value traditional italian at The Weissen Kreuz Hotel - pizzas & pasta dishes were of good quality.
By the second week, we had decided there was nothing to better The Montana & ate there most nights ! Not cheap - but food isn't in Lucerne - about Sw Fr 200 for four courses & wine for two people. Not a bad idea to request an area where you would prefer to be - they have an unfortunate habit of preferring locals to hotel residents in terms of the better located tables - and seem to place large groups next to the windows with lake views (when, from my experience, large business groups are busy in conversation etc & not too bothered where they sit !).
We had travelled from UK independently - rather than with a tour operator - and hotel weren't terribly au fait with the workings of the 'Fly Rail' Baggage system - no doubt usually handled for guests by UK Tour Operators.
One other piece of useful info. The bar adjoins the foyer/reception area and the whole area is usually terribly smokey - particularly from late afternoon. It quite often hits you as soon as you emerge from the funicular lift into the reception area - surprised their reception staff put up with it. There is a non-smoking area next to the bar but the whole of that area seems to be affected & no sign of a public area smoking ban in Switzerland yet !
Overall though a top place !
Unreliablefrom Meenu
From the moment I left Montana, I had the feeling things would've been different for me had I been European or American and not Asian or Indian. There is certainly a racist factor there, so if you're Indian and have booked in India, be careful. I could have easily booked from London too, I doubt if I would've been subjected to such treatment then!
Thank you very much for your critique and for taking the time to actually give us a feedback even though you did not appreciate our hotel as much as we loved you to. We are utterly sorry to read that you had such a bad experience in Lucerne. It is very hard for us to understand that you were treated in such a way. We are very open-minded and happy to welcome any kind of guests. No matter where they are from.
We suspect that probably through the way of your booking a mistake had happened. We do not just cancel a booking. It is a shame that you did not get the chance to stay at our hotel and therefore to appreciate its vivacious atmosphere.
Should you be back one day in Lucerne we hope you will give us a second chance by booking directly with us.
Do take care and all the best!
Patric Vogel, Marketing & Sales
Awesome!from forumchatter
no airconditioningfrom nytexan
the hotel has no airconditioning and it is very hot in the summer. they gave us a small fan not much good i would never have stayed there had i known they had no a/c the hotel is not near resort type of stuff so if you are looking to do water sports probblably not a good spot. if you are only spending a couple of days and are just visiting through very nice hotel just remember there is no airconditioning and it gets very hot in the summer

Beautiful hotel, very nice staff!from CAWorldtraveler
The best hotel in Lucerne, bar nonefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Why? How many other hotels have a funicular railway from the lakeside up to reception (it is officially the world's shortest railway line, so not only do you get a funfair experience each time you head back to the hotel, but you are sharing in a record-breaking experience!). The reception staff are without exception the friendliest, most helpful staff of any hotel I have stayed in, bar none (they even rang the local bus company for me to find out at what age I had to buy a bus ticket for my daughter). The rooms are delightful, the decor is unusual in a nice way (unlike so many unusually decorated hotels) and the breakfasts abound in fresh fruits, breads, cheese and so on. There is a free PC in reception for guests to check e-mails, use the internet etc. And the views from the terrace (outside) or dining room and bar (inside) are stunning.
I have one niggle (one other reviewer has alluded to it) - getting room service is a hassle. I was sent by reception to linger outside the dining room to place my order, but the serving staff were so busy it took a good five minutes for someone to do so (eventually the barman took pity on me and gave me a menu). That said, my wife and I ate in the corridor rather than our room (to allow our daughter to sleep in peace) so the staff imaginatively set a trolley as a table with two place settings, complete with candle, wheeled it up to us and magicked two chairs from nowhere for us to use. Splendid!
This just sums the place up - it's a lovely hotel in a great setting, with staff who cannot do enough to help. What more can you ask for?
m a fan of a fanfrom tweetyhollo
The design is modern and a change from other rooms we stayed in, but it was well done and felt quite comfortable.
It is an easy walk to town. The funicular is a blessing so that you don't have to walk up the hill after a long day of walking around the city.
Top Local Tips for Lucerne
Credit card charges At restaurants, train station, etc., be sure that you are charged in Swiss Francs and not your home currency (you have a choice) or you will immediately lose 2.5 - 3.0 percent on the transaction.
Trains and boats and buses. Use the railways as much as possible.Get a Swiss Card or the equivalent and get the 50% discount on NEARLY all the transport system including buses and lake steamers.TIP:- In school holiday times pay extra and go first class as trains,steamers and funiculars can get incredibly busy.If you get time a visit to the Federal capital Bern is recommended - go by train via the Emmental which is the scenic route.It takes a bit longer but is cheaper and has lovely views of the typical farming areas of Switzerland.Burgenstock,Engleburg(for Titlis) and the rack railway from Vitznau to the Rigi Summit are a must in good weather.If it's raining go to the Swiss Transport Musem - good for all the family - something for everybody from 2 to 92.Sorry to say it but Luzern taxi drivers are a miserable bunch so we walked back to our hotel from the station by the side of the lake.
Take the 1/2 trip to Mt. Pilatus You can buy a round-trip transportation ticket at the tourist office in the Bahnhof -- includes boat trip on Lake Lucerne & ride on world's steepest cog-railway, wih return by Gondola and bus. Great hiking and great views of Lucerne from the top of Pilatus.

If battered industrial unions learn to convince skeptical workers of their value, it might help them rebuild.
At this point, you might be under the impression that labor unions are about to become an endangered species in Michigan, now that it has become the 24th state to pass a right-to-work law.
Whether it was the the Associated Press calling the statute a "devastating and once-unthinkable defeat," or the New York Times reporting that it would "substantially" diminish labor's clout in the state, the consensus yesterday seemed to be that the statute amounted to an unprecedented blow for the union movement, both locally and nationally.
And on an emotional level, that may be true. Labor organizations had already lost stinging battles against anti-union measures in Wisconsin and Indiana, but up until this month, Michigan had appeared to be a safe haven -- a big, rusty firewall. It is one of the most heavily unionized states in the country and the home of the United Auto Workers, perhaps the single most influential union of the 20th century. With the events of the last few days, however, it's now evident that organized labor has fallen so low that it can't even win a battle on its own turf.
Still, the situation isn't as bad as the media coverage has made it out to be. While there is evidence that right-to-work laws do weaken unions, their effect is limited. And precisely because this turn of events is such an awful reflection of labor's public standing, it might also turn into a much-needed wake-up call for its activists.
Right-to-work laws are not, in fact, really about the right to work.
Rather, they're mostly aimed at curbing unions by sapping their finances. Under federal law, employees cannot be forced to join a union against their will. But because unions are required to represent everyone in the workplaces they organize, they are permitted to negotiate contracts that require non-members to pay fees covering the basic costs of the services the unions provide. Right-to-work states ban those sorts of agreements, which means that no worker ever has to pay a cent to a union, even if it represents them at the collective bargaining table.
This creates an obvious problem for labor organizers: free-riders. If a worker can get most of the benefits of union representation for no charge, they don't have a whole lot of incentive to sign up and pay dues. The fewer fees they collect, the less resources unions have to fund their operations and their political activism. The fewer members they have, the harder it is to orchestrate a strike, and the less leverage they have with employers. In theory.
In practice, it's not clear how badly right-to-work laws hamper unions. Early on, it wasn't obvious they had any effect at all. Rather, the best research suggested that right-to-work statutes were mostly a symptom of anti-union attitudes in states where very few workers were likely to organize in the first place. In a 1985 review of the literature, economists Robert Newman and William Moore concluded that the impacts of right-to-work laws were likely "more symbolic than real."
Since then, prevailing opinion has changed, and researchers tend to agree that right-to-work laws do have a modest impact. In 1998, Moore flipped his own stance, concluding that the balance of new research suggested they did create a free-riding problem and reduced union membership in states by 5-to-8 percent. One influential study authored by economist David Ellwood -- now the Dean of Harvard's Kennedy School -- and lawyer Glenn Fine, suggested that the laws cut new organizing by almost half in the first five years after they passed, and by almost a third over the next five years, leading to a potentially permanent 5-to-10 percent drop in union rolls. That would save 1-to-3 percentage points off the unionization rate in most states. More recently, economists Ozkan Eren and I. Serkan Ozbekilek concluded that Oklahoma's right-to-work law, passed in 2001, caused union membership rates to fall 13.8 percent more than they would have otherwise, or about 1 percentage point.

2nd year dosage calc/ IV
- 0Hi. Just starting 2nd year in ADN program and they have given us some math problems over break that I am unsure of how to do. Help if ya can!
Order: Heparin drip 25,000 U heparin in 250 mL 0.45% NS to infuse at 1200 U/hr.
Drop factor: On infusion controller
Flow rate = ? mL/h
I don't know if they are just throwing in a bunch of info you don't really need or what but I just took 250mL and divided it by 1 hour. Am I way off?
Order: Penicillin G 1,000,000 units in 100 mL NS to run over 30 minutes q4h.
Drop factor 10gtt/mL
Flow rate: ? gtt/min
Again, I don't know if they are throwing in a bunch of info that's not used to calculate or what but I am kinda lost.
- 0Sep 3, '09 by chareQuote from skyflierorder: heparin drip 25,000 u heparin in 250 ml 0.45% ns to infuse at 1200 u/hr.Quote from skyflieryou are not being asked to calculate the infusion rate to run the entire bag of heparin over 1 hour, you are being asked to calculate the infusion rate to run the heparin at 1200 units/hour.drop factor: on infusion controller
flow rate = ? ml/h
the first step in solving this problem is to determine the concentration per ml. although this information should be contained on the package or container, you should know how to determine this yourself. this is easily accomplished by dividing the total amount of heparin by the total volume (25,000 units/250 ml = 100 units/ml).
the hourly dose, 1200 units, was provided for you. so, to determine infusion rate all you need to do is divide the dose by the concentration ([1200 units/hour]/[100 units/ml] = 12 ml/hour).
Quote from skyflierorder: penicillin g 1,000,000 units in 100 ml ns to run over 30 minutes q4h.Quote from skyflieronce you have determined that you have the correct medication and concentration, all they are asking for here is a simple rate calculation. the formula for doing this is: volume x gtt factor/time. so, for this calculation you set the problem up as follows: 100 x 10/30 or 1000/30=33.33. since you are delivering this via a standard administration set you would need to round to the nearest whole number, in this case 33.drop factor 10gtt/ml
flow rate: ? gtt/min
hope this information was helpful.
- 0Quote from skyflierWhy would you divide by 360 minutes? The problem statement tells you that it's running over 30 minutes.Thank you very much, I understand. Another one is:
Order: Ancef 1 g in 50 mL D5w to run over 30 min q6h
Drop factor: On infusion pump
Flow rate ? mL/hr
Not sure if I take the 50 mL and divide by 30 minutes or 360 minutes.
Thanks Again!
Also, since you're looking for the flow rate per hour (mL/hr), you need to convert 30 minutes to hours. How many hours are in 30 minutes?
- 0Quote from skyflierYep, you've got it.Okay I have been looking at this tooooo long. I get it. Sorry to make myself look dumb. I hate math and always make it harder than it is. The answer is 100mL/hr. Duh.
The "q6h" really has nothing to do with the problem.
Try to think about what's really happening before you start trying to throw equations down on paper.
In this case, you've got a bag of fluid that's supposed to flow into a patient. You know how much (strictly speaking, what volume...) stuff you've got to infuse and you know the time in which it must be done so you just need to figure out how fast it needs to go.
It's no different than saying "you need to drive 45 miles in 1/2 hour - how fast must you drive?" (the answer is 90 miles per hour, right?) or "How many minutes will it take you to drive 45 miles if you're traveling at 90 mph?" (1/2 hr or 30 min).
- 0Also, apply the "does this make sense?" test...
If you infuse 50 mL over 360 minutes, that would be a rate of 0.14 mL/min or 8.3 mL/hr... that is very slow.
When you saw the "q6h", did you understand that it meant "every 6 hours?" If not, then be sure that you understand all the shorthand notation used in these kinds of problems.
- 0Sep 3, '09 by debbie2388the easiest way to do these types of problem is: volume x drip factor/time (always in minutes). so for this problem:
order: penicillin g 1,000,000 units in 100 ml ns to run over 30 minutes q4h.originally posted by skyflierdrop factor 10gtt/mlyour volume is: 100ml
flow rate: ? gtt/min
your drip factor is: 10 gtts/min
your time is: 30 min
so the equation would be 100ml x 10 gtts/min divided by 30 min = 33.3 gtts/min
that always seems to be the easiest for me. i hope this helps also.

Soap Dispenser..
Howard from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
what can I say...It dispenses soap! It's a very nice finish and it has a large capacity. I recomend it.
Solid and Functional
Eric Shapow from Seattle, WA– Verified Buyer
This works great and at the price is a good value. We like having a dispenser rather then a soap bottle.
Attractive and Precise
LC the organizer from Milton, MA
Being able to control the amount of soap that is dispensed is great. with the lightest of touch you can get a drop. Add a little bit more pressure and you can get more. This dispenser is very attractive and compliments the Bridgeford Kitchen Faucet nicely. The only issue is the amount of soap its undermount container can hold, which is half the actual container.
Flexible accessory
Gabrielle from Salt Lake City, UT– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
I like that this pump can coordinate with a variety of styles. This pump seems to hold up longer than most. In my experience, soap pumps typically have a short life but this one has not corroded a bit.
Good product [...]
Andre from Laval, Qc. Can– Verified Buyer
This purchase was to replace existing idem dispenser from Grohe which pump became faulty after 7 years of normal utilisation.Somewhat disappointing for a part with a stainless head. We were happy to find a matching replacement from Faucet.com
not happy
UNCLE BEN from ST. LOUIS ,MO.
Installed in January has continually dispensed rust along with soap. Spoke to Grohe and they only offered to replace the plastic interior of the pump claiming that the rust is the result of the soap we use (Palmolive). PLASTIC DOESN'T RUST. IT'S THE METAL SPOUT.
Soap Dispenser for Kitchen Sink by Grohe
Janet from Morgan's Point, Texas– Verified Buyer
I live in a Historic Home and had my kitchen designed by a kitchen designer approximately 19 years ago and this is the kitchen soap dispenser they recommended. I have had to replace it 2 times during that time...but this is a heavily used item. I like its look as it matches my kitchen and I feel it is a quality product. I was just glad to find this replacement with your company. [...]
Poor quality/design for expense
heuheutenango from Victoria, BC
After a few years of use, the dispenser will not dispense soap. Just as well, since the bottle will not stay attached to dispenser (it is a poor friction fit design which wears out with time).
Grohe Soap Despenser
Alwaysremodeling from Woodinville, WA– Verified Buyer
It matches the Grohe stainless steel faucet I bought. It looks beautiful.
Exactly what I wanted
Dave from Raleigh, NC– Verified Buyer

Declan Butler, who writes for Nature, points out its extensive coverage of virtual globes of all stripes in the latest issue. (All are available without subscription.)
I don't regularly read Nature, but I love that a real science magazine is taking on the topic instead of the now redundant fawning of much of the mainstream media.
Quote of note:
"Google Earth is just the most fantastic thing I have ever seen," says Jack Dangermond, founder and president of ESRI, the world's largest creator of GIS software. ESRI, which is based in Redlands, Virginia, and other GIS companies that were caught napping by Google Earth are now eager to capitalize on its success.
Yeah, yeah ESRI is in Redlands, CA…
Mike at TechDirt notes that Topix (News on 300,000 topics, from Autos to your ZIP code.) recently instituted a simple tool to share the location of those involved in discussions via the site. The outcome, it seems, is that folks are bit more civil when others know, in general, from whence they come. The technology is a simple IP location tool but it seems to do the job.
The use patterns mostly parallel US population density save Seattle and San Fransisco. (See a real time map on the main page.) Why? Perhaps because those geographies have their own more local discussion forums which pulls those potential discussants from Topix.
Brian Goldin (Spatailly Enabled) notes that some ESRI folks put together an interview podcast to promote its speakers (and topic, ArcWeb Services) at the upcoming FlashForward conference to be held at the end of the month in Seattle.
FlashForward? That's the conference on MacroMedia Flash and related topics. (No, I didn't know what it was either!) While Brian notes the podcast is pretty clear cut (and includes my former colleague Mansour "I can connect any ESRI software to a toaster" Raad), the interesting thing here for me is ESRI having a bigger presence at technology shows.
In the past ESRI was at OracleWorld and the big IBM events and lots of industry specific shows, but its becoming a bit more technology mainstream by appearing at this sort of event.
Yesterday, I met with the newly appointed president of Intergraph's Security, Government and Infrastructure (SGI) division, Ben Eazzetta and CTO Peter Batty. Eazzetta, having done stints at Intergraph's Process, Power, and Marine (PPM) division as COO and as president of Intergraph's Public Safety division, has spent the last several months serving as the COO of SGI before moving into the top leadership position with the retirement of Preetha Pulusani.
The move to put Eazzetta in charge of SGI, with Batty engaged as the CTO not only signals a changing of the old guard at Intergraph, but perhaps the emergence of a team of executives that could radically alter the fortunes of their company. With Eazzetta having spent most of his time in the PPM division and Batty a relative newcomer to Intergraph coming on board just last summer, the company looks to leverage the operational background of the former and the geospatial experience of the latter. Together, I expect them to look deep into the domain expertise that Intergraph has in mapping/geospatial technologies, especially in the federal sector, but also to look for synergies across Intergraph's platform solutions. This approach will depend on Batty's ability to identify the unique competive advantages that Intergraph has stored away in its various divisions and Eazzetta's operational knowledge to bring solutions to market. This last part has hindered Intergraph in the past. They've had the right ingredients, but they've never been blended well enough to come up with the right "sauce."
The Eazzetta/Batty tandem has certain challenges but it's not for lack of opportunity, as they see it. With the geospatial market growing, especially with money available for security and a sound ROI in field service management sectors, the company could easily muster many of the company's existing platforms to grow the business beyond the 5% annualized pattern that it has had in the recent past.
Jo Walsh at Mapping Hacks requests those in the EU to consider signing a petition to encourage members of the European parliament to reject the INSPIRE initiative as it stands. She feels "Many European citizens and small businesses will be negatively affected by a license, copyright and protection oriented policy towards sharing geographic data inside Europe."
The petition and further details are available at PublicGeodata.org.

text: I've tried every SSRI/SNRI known to man. Zoloft, 100mg per day, has been the most beneficial for me. Awesome drug for depression and anxiety if taken in combination with a mood stabilizer of course. However, the sexual side effects (literally no lidido) caused such a strain in my relationship, that the costs outweighed the benefits for me. May be worth a shot for you though. I currently take 160mg Geodon, 100mg Topamax, 2mg Klonopin, 70mg Vyvanse, & 300mg Wellbutrin. This combination seems to do the trick for me although I wish Zoloft had fewer sexual side effects.

Much like the First Team, the Crew Soccer Academy had the week off from action. However, that doesn't mean the week was news-free on the Crew Youth front.
Coming off a second-place at the AGS Cup in Spain, the United States U-17 National Team will travel to Argentina this week for a four-team tournament that includes Chile, Panama, and host Argentina. Prior to the tournament, CSA products Benny Swanson, Carter Richardson, and Ahinga Selemani will play Uruguay in a friendly on October 21. When the tournament concludes, the US will play another friendly against an opponent that is yet to be determined.
On the college stage, several Crew Youth Alumni saw action this week. Here are some of the highlights:
Akron Zips (9-1-2) This Week: 2-0 W at Penn State, 2-0 W at Northern Illinois
The Zips recorded a pair of road shutouts this week against Penn State and Northern Illinois. Five Crew Youth alumni are regular feature's in Caleb Porter's lineup as Akron hopes to challenge for its second College Cup title in three years.
Xavier Musketeers (8-0-3) This Week: 2-2 D vs. Dayton
The Musketeers remained undefeated over the weekend, tying in-state and conference rival Dayton 2-2 at home. Will Walker scored his fifth goal of the season in the draw, finishing off a long ball from his twin brother Matt.
Boston College Golden Eagles (7-3-3) This Week: 1-0 W vs. Dartmouth, 0-0 D vs. Clemson
Senior captain Justin Luthy posted his third and fourth shutouts of the season last week as Boston College beat Dartmouth and drew ACC opponent Clemson. Luthy has not given up a tally in his last 403 minutes in goal for the Golden Eagles.
UCLA Bruins (9-2-2) This Week: 4-3 W at. San Diego State
Matt Wiet helped the fourth-ranked Bruins rebound from last week's loss to Washington, captaining UCLA to a 4-3 win over San Diego State. Wiet and the Bruins will be idle this week as the team's next match comes October 26 on the road against Oregon State.
America's hardest working mascot, Crew Cat, joined fellow Columbus mascots Brutus Buckeye and Stinger in rappeling the PNC Building in downtown Columbus to promote "Over the Edge for Kids' Sake," an initiative run by Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Though his nine lives apparently flashed before his eyes, Crew Cat made it to the bottom safely and will be back in action on October 28 for Fan Appeciation Day as the Crew takes on Toronto FC.
You never know what you will find in the offices at Crew Stadium.
This promotional shield of Chad Marshall was used in the Crew's 2005 marketing plan. The photo was taken during the Black & Gold's 1-1 draw with the NY/NJ MetroStars on August 29, 2004, Marshall's rookie season.
But if you look closer, you'll see Chad is playing against a beardless, 17-year-old Eddie Gaven. The two Crew veterans took a trip down memory lane upon being shown the photo.
"It looks like in this picture, I tried to beat Chad and he won the ball," Gaven said. "I have a look in my eye like, 'Oh boy, he just stole it. Now I have to run back 80 yards and play defense.' That's what happened in this picture."
"I remember playing against Eddie," Marshall reflected. "He had the 'touch and trip' back then, too. He got all the calls as a 17-year-old. It's nice that in this picture, it looks like I probably won [the ball] and he's chasing me."
The main regret Gaven has of this moment in 2004 is his choice in hairstyle.
"I think that's the ugliest hair I've ever had," Gaven said. "I don't know what I was doing back then with my emo haircut, I thought I was cool, but looking back I realize it wasn't cool at all. I'm glad I don't have that hair anymore, and now I try to think I'm cool by growing out the beard."
The shield now currently resides in the back seat of Danny O'Rourke's car.

Crew Stadium will play host to the 2012 Girls and Boys Columbus City League Soccer Championships on Thursday evening to help give back to the community where the Columbus Crew has thrived for the past 17 years.
"We've been doing this for years and years, really since the stadium was opened," Crew President and General Manager Mark McCullers said. "It's a way for us to give back to the community and show appreciation for what they do for us. Importantly, it's an opportunity to create a memorable experience for the kids that get to play a championship game at Crew Stadium. It's something they will remember for the rest of their lives."
The action kicks off with the girls' championship between the Centennial Stars and the Whetstone Braves at 5:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Walnut Ridge Scots vs. the Whetstone Braves in the boys' championship at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Gates open at 4:30 p.m. ET and admission is $6.00 for all persons over the age of six.
Due to the All-American Quarterhorse Congress at the Ohio Expo Center, fans are encourage to enter the Crew Stadium grounds off of Hudson Street.
With both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hitting the swing state of Ohio hard as Election Day nears, Columbus has been in the national media spotlight. Out on his morning coffee run, CNN's John King tweeted this picture of the digital billboards at the corner of Broad and High:

Luckily for the Crew, ads for season ticket renewals were in rotation when he snapped his photo.
Speaking of season tickets, purchase or renew yours today.
The Crew Soccer Academy swept its matches for the second-straight weekend. The U-16 squad defeated the Cleveland Internationals 1-0 behind Jalim Bayo's tally. Nathan Kohl assisted on the match's lone goal. The U-18 side took down the Internationals 4-2 with Nicholas Parianos, Thomas Wiseman, Andrew McKelvey and Alex Bumpus scoring in the affair.
In other news, CSA goalkeeper Carter Richardson earned an invite to the United States U-17 Residency Program in Bradenton, Fla. The Dublin native will join fellow CSA product Benny Swanson playing under Richie Williams for the Stars & Stripes.

Akron Zips (7-1-2) This Week: 5-0 W vs. Florida Atlantic

Louisville Cardinals (8-4-0) This Week: 3-0 W vs. DePaul, 2-1 W at Syracuse
The Cardinals earned a pair of Big East wins last week to move to 8-4-0 on the season. Alex Obbey came on as a sub in both matches for Ken Lolla's side. Louisville will host Indiana on Wednesday night
Xavier Musketeers (8-0-2) This Week: 3-2 W vs. Saint Louis, 2-1 W vs. Butler
Xavier opened Atlantic 10 play with a 3-2 victory over Saint Louis at home. Will Walker tallied twice, while his brother Matt chipped in an assist in the win.

Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha, TV Analyst Duncan Oughton, and Brand Ambassador Frankie Hejduk took part in the C Magazine celebrity golf outing at The Medallion Club in Westerville Monday afternoon to help promote the Crew brand.
"This is a great time and an opportunity to meet good people and spread Crew love," Oughton said in a text message.
While no scores were reported, it's probable that Warzycha beat Oughton and Hejduk handily as "The Polish Rifle" is an avid golfer in his down-time.
A special thank you to C Magazine for inviting the Black & Gold to participate in this special event.
To do his part in Sunday's Boot Breast Cancer day presented by Ohio Health, Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum will wear a pink jersey to raise awareness for the disease. The cause hits home for the Crew 'keeper.
"It actually means a lot to me," Gruenebaum explained Friday. "My grandma battled breast cancer before she passed away. She was very sick and very brave. It means a lot to me and I'm sure it means a lot to everybody."
The goalie continued, "Every year, I contribute to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and try to run in the races if I can. It's great that MLS takes part in Breast Cancer Awareness Month each year."
Kickoff is slated for 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

With an extra day to prepare for Sunday's match against Sporting Kansas City, Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha decided to give his team a break from the daily training regimen on Wednesday morning. In lieu of training, the team went bowling as a team-building activity.
"Everything that we do is based on how we can get better as a team and do what is necessary for us to win the game," Warzycha said Wednesday afternoon.
"Team chemistry is just as important as fitness or anything else," the Head Coach continued. "I think it was a good time to bring everybody to bowling, because the guys that are injured that are not with the team every single day because they're in treatment and everything else, they were there too. To have the entire team together before the final stretch, before the end of the season, it was very important."
The team enjoyed a day without thinking about soccer.
"Sometimes, you need to spend time enjoying your teammates and your coaches," defender Sebastián Miranda explained. "It was avery good opportunity to maybe forget soccer and playing, and bond with your teammates. You can laugh. You can talk with your teammates and not talk about soccer, and try to enjoy [the team atmosphere] a little bit."
So, who was the best bowler on the team?
"After me, Netzo [Nemanja Vukovic] was a very big surprise," Miranda said with a laugh. "He was a big surprise."
The Crew will resume its normal training schedule Thursday morning at Crew Stadium.

Conference play resumed around NCAA Division I soccer this week. Here are some highlights from Crew Youth alumni playing around the country:
Akron Zips (6-1-2) This Week: 4-0 W vs. Buffalo
The Zips moved to 2-0-0 in MAC play by beating Buffalo 4-0 on Saturday at Cub Cadet Field. Crew Youth product Eric Stevenson assisted on Akron's third goal in the romp.
Louisville Cardinals (5-4-0) This Week: 2-1 L at Rutgers
After upsetting Notre Dame last week, the Cardinals dropped a 2-1 result on the road to Rutgers. Alex Obbey nearly had the equalizer in the 78th minute, but his attempt was blocked by a Scarlet Knights defender.
Xavier Musketeers (6-0-2) This Week: 5-0 W vs. Thomas More
Xavier wrapped up non-conference play with a 5-0 victory over Thomas More. Matt Walker had a goal and two assists in the win. Next up, the Musketeers put its unbeaten record on the line at home against Saint Louis on Friday.

Double Trouble Installation
Posted By Good Sam On April 30, 2014 @ 6:00 am In Action Line | No Comments
[4]After purchasing a new GE refrigerator and having it installed in his 2008 Holiday Rambler, Good Sam member, Dave Keller, thought he was all set. He was, until a moisture problem in the freezer section of the new refrigerator resulted in a warranty repair that required additional installation costs.
I had a new GE refrigerator installed in my 2008 Holiday Rambler motor home to replace the Dometic 4 door that died. I chose GE as it basically fit the space. The cost of the installation with cabinet work, etc was $1,000 plus the cost of the refrigerator. There was a 1 year manufacturer's warranty on the refrigerator and within a year, the ice make failed and needed to be replaced. Then a moisture problem in the freezer section of the 2 door refrigerator resulted in an insulation problem caused by GE in the manufacture of the unit. GE has replaced the unit, but would not cover the cost of re-installation, this time costing $700.00. I have spoken with GE multiple times to attempt to acquire reimbursement for this second installation. I have spoken to lots of folks, been promised return calls, and am still waiting. I did not incorrectly manufacture the refrigerator, causing need for replacement, they did. I feel they should pay the cost of the installation of the replacement refrigerator, as I have had to pay twice.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
After Good Sam Action Line contacted GE and received this reply from Julie Wood, Manager of appliances with GE.
GE customer service contacted Dave Keller and has worked out an agreeable resolution that Mr. Keller has accepted. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention and for your support of GE Appliances.

Novavax Reports First-Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Key Highlights
- Phase II RSV clinical trial data achieve protocol specified-objectives of safety and immunogenicity.
- Novel malaria vaccine candidate in India honored by the Vaccine World Summit India 2013 conference for having the "Most Promising Vaccine for Emerging Diseases in India."
- Positive U.S. inter-governmental-agency panel review to continue influenza vaccine-development contract.
- Strong financial position with cash of $45.4 million providing two-years of operations.
ROCKVILLE, Md., May 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVAX) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
The company reported a net loss of $10.0 million, or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2012. Novavax had revenue in the first quarter of 2013 of $3.8 million as compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to the higher level of clinical trial activity in the three months ended March 31, 2012 associated with the company's seasonal and pandemic influenza programs, as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 when no similar clinical trials were initiated. In conjunction with the decrease in revenue, the cost of revenue was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2012, which decrease is also primarily related to the levels of activity associated with the company's influenza clinical trials previously mentioned.Research and development expenses increased to $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2012, due primarily to increased costs relating to the initiation of the company's RSV clinical trials and higher employee-related costs. General and administrative expenses decreased to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2012.

|Autism Families Confront Insel and Sebelius at the IACC
Written by The Canary Party
Wednesday, 11 July 2012 14:51
Yesterday, the first meeting of the year was held by the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, and autism families were there to confront Tom Insel and Kathleen Sebelius in person on their failures in the federal response to the autism epidemic. Canary members held a silent protest when Kathleen Sebelius completed her remarks to the committee and several members spoke directly to Dr. Insel and the committee during public comments.
The full discussion on the problematic staffing of the IACC that Tom Insel referred to as IACC 3.0 can be found here:

Communicating with a Business Partner: Ask Noah
5. Be careful not to communicate passive aggressively through negative non-verbal communication. Be mindful of your body language; eye rolling, abrupt silences, etc. These physical actions can speak loudly.
6. Don't dissect! As business consists of many small activities, responsibilities, decisions and interactions it's necessary not to over-analyze every single transaction. Sometimes silence is best. Sometimes we all just need to be agreeable.
7. Recreate your mission. Always remember the reason you chose to build a business together. Do not allow your different communication styles to interfere with that mission.
I wish you both the best of luck.Last week, I had the pleasure of appearing on
