Use WshNetwork and FileSystemObject to list, map, and disconnect mapped drives
Downloads |
129966.zip |
A Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path uniquely identifies a resource on a network. It describes the location of a volume, directory, or file, using the format \\server\volume\directory\file. However, most people prefer using a mapped Windows drive letter instead of a UNC path because a mapped drive letter is easier to remember. Therefore, your scripts will likely have to deal with mapped drives and mapped resources from time to time. It's at these times that you'll want to use the WshNetwork and FileSystemObject objects.
The WshNetwork and FileSystemObject objects are a dynamic duo when you need to work with mapped drives in Windows Script Host (WSH) scripts. Besides providing the same capabilities as Windows Management Instrumentation's (WMI's) Win32_MappedLogicalDisk class, the WshNetwork object has additional methods for creating and removing drive mappings. The FileSystemObject object provides methods for retrieving information about system drives. With the WshNetwork and FileSystemObject objects, you can easily perform a variety of mapping tasks, as the following examples demonstrate.
Determining Whether a Share Is Mapped
The IsDriveMapped function in Listing 1 demonstrates how you can use the WshNetwork object to determine whether a share is mapped. Here's how this function works. It first uses WshNetwork's EnumNetworkDrives method to return a list of the mapped network drives on a computer as a collection. This collection contains a pair of items for each mapped network drive: the drive's local name and its associated UNC path. The collection is zero-indexed so that the even-numbered items in the collection are the drive names and the odd-numbered items are the associated UNC paths. Therefore, the function iterates through every second item in the collection for comparison to the specified share. If there's a match, the function's return value is set to true. Otherwise, a value of Nothing is returned, which evaluates to false in Boolean comparisons.
You can download the IsDriveMapped function's code (and the code in the other listings) by going to the top of this page and click the Download the Code Here button. To use the IsDriveMapped function in a script, you call it using code such as
' Do something.
' Create a new drive mapping.
Finding the Next Available Drive
Typically, you don't want to map a resource or share to an arbitrary drive letter. It makes more sense to find the next available one. Although the WshNetwork's object's EnumNetworkDrives method is great for listing mapped drives, it's not much help in finding available drives. A better approach is to use the FileSystemObject's Drives collection, as it contains information about both local and network drives in a system.
The GetNextDrive function in Listing 2 finds the next available drive. The function begins by enumerating the ASCII codes representing the possible drive letters. With this approach, the function's loop counter can easily convert the ASCII codes into drive letters by applying the Chr() function and appending a colon (:). For example, the ASCII code of 65, which represents the uppercase letter A, is transformed into A:.
GetNextDrive transforms one ASCII code at a time. Once transformed, the function uses the FileSystemObject object's DriveExists method to determine whether that drive already exists. The DriveExists method returns a value of true when the drive exists and a value of false when it doesn't exist. If the drive doesn't exist, the function's return value is set to that drive letter.
To use the GetNextDrive function, you need to customize the starting and ending loop indexes in the line
Const A_DRIVE = 65, Z_DRIVE = 90
so that they correspond to the available drive letter range in your system. For example, if the A and B drives are reserved for removable devices and the C drive is reserved for the first hard disk partition, you'd change this line to
Const D_DRIVE = 68, Z_DRIVE = 90
so that the function starts from the D drive. You can find a list of the ASCII codes at ASCII Code.
You can use the GetNextDrive function in code such as
strDriveLetter = GetNextDrive()
If Not IsEmpty(strDriveLetter) Then

 Set objNetwork = _

 WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

 objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive _

 strDriveLetter, "\\Svr1\Electronic\"

This code uses the GetNextDrive function to find the next available drive, then maps that drive's letter to the \\Svr1\Electronic\ share. To map the drive, the code uses the WshNetwork object's MapNetworkDrive method, which I'll discuss shortly.
Disconnecting a Mapped Drive
You can use the WshNetwork object's RemoveNetworkDrive method to disconnect a mapped drive. This method has one mandatory and two optional arguments:
- Name. You use this mandatory string argument to specify the name of the mapped drive you want to disconnect. It can be either a local name or a remote name, depending on how the drive is mapped.
- Force. You use this optional Boolean argument to specify that you want the mapped drive disconnected, even if files are in use. When you specify the value of true, the mapping is removed whether or not the resource is in use. When you don't include this argument or you specify the value of false, the mapping isn't removed if the resource is in use.
- UpdateProfile. You use this optional Boolean argument to specify that you want to remove the mapping from the current user's profile. This argument might be used if the RemoveNetworkDrive method is part of a logon script, for example. When you specify the value of true, the mapping is removed. When you don't include this argument or you specify the value of false, the mapping isn't removed.
For example, if you want to remove the Z drive mapping even if a resource is being accessed, you'd use the code
oNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive("Z:", true)
Mapping a Network Drive
You can use the WshNetwork object's MapNetworkDrive method to map a drive letter to a shared folder or any child folder under a shared folder. MapNetworkDrive has two mandatory and three optional arguments:
- LocalName. You use this mandatory string argument to specify the drive you want to map. If the name is a drive letter, you need to include the colon (e.g., G:).
- RemoteName. You use this mandatory string argument to specify the shared folder's UNC name (e.g., \\ServerName\ShareName, \\ServerName\ShareName\FolderName).
- UpdateProfile. You use this optional Boolean argument when you want to store the mapping information in the current user's profile. When you specify the value of true, the current user's profile is updated with the mapping information. When you don't include this argument or you specify the value of false, the current user's profile isn't updated.
- UserName: You use this optional string argument when you want to map the network drive using the credentials of someone other than the current user.
- Password: You use this optional string argument to specify the password for the user identified by the UserName argument.
Many times you can map a drive using only the mandatory arguments. In administrative scripts, though, it might be necessary to supply an alternative or elevated set of credentials to successfully connect to a share because you can't map a drive to a folder unless you have permission to access that folder. After the connection is established, the supplied credentials govern access to the network drive for the duration of the connection.
When using the MapNetworkDrive method, it's important to include some error-handling code because there are a few conditions that can cause it to fail. Common causes are insufficient permissions, the local drive letter is already in use, and a persistent connection (one that reconnects after a reboot or logout). For example, the MapNetworkDrive.vbs script in Listing 3 handles two types of errors: the local drive letter is already in use and a persistent connection already exists. The latter error condition isn't a fatal one, as you can still disconnect the drive for the current session using RemoveNetworkDrive.
To run MapNetworkDrive.vbs, follow the syntax
MapNetworkDrive.vbs LocalDrive RemoteShare
For example, if you want to map the D drive to the remote share \\Svr1\Electronic\, you'd use the command
MapNetworkDrive.vbs D: \\Svr1\Electronic\
By default, MapNetworkDrive.vbs doesn't update the current user's profile with the mapping information. If you want to update the current user's profile, you can change the line in callout A to
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strLocalDrive, _strRemoteShare, True
Indispensible Tools
The WshNetwork and FileSystemObject objects are indispensable tools when you need to manage mapped drives and resources in WSH scripts. I've only covered a few examples of what you can do with them. You can explore other options in MSDN's WshNetwork Object page and in MSDN's FileSystemObject Object page.
Listing 1: IsDriveMapped Function
Function IsDriveMapped(strShare)Dim oNet, drv, i
 Set oNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

 Set drv = oNet.EnumNetworkDrives

 For i = 0 To drv.Count - 1 Step 2

 If StrComp(drv(i + 1), strShare, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then

 IsDriveMapped = true

 Exit For

 End If

 Next

End Function

Listing 2: GetNextDrive Function
Const A_DRIVE = 65, Z_DRIVE = 90
 Dim FSO, letter, drv

 Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

 For letter = A_DRIVE To Z_DRIVE

 drv = Chr(letter) & ":"

 If Not FSO.DriveExists(drv) Then

 GetNextDrive = drv

 Exit Function

 End If

 Next

End Function

Listing 3: MapNetworkDrive.vbs
Dim strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, objNetwork
strLocalDrive = UCase(Left(WScript.Arguments.Item(0), 2))

strRemoteShare = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

On Error Resume Next

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, False

' Error traps

If Err <> 0 Then

 Select Case Err.Number

 ' Persistent connection so try a second time.

If you've already got the grill going for dinner, you might as well grill dessert, too. Sprinkle fresh peaches with sugar and ginger, grill, and then coat them in a mixture of honey and lime juice.
Real Simple AUGUST 2001
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Dust the cut side of each half with some of the sugar and ginger. Light a charcoal grill and allow the coals to burn until well covered with gray ash or heat a gas grill to low. Place the peaches sugar side down on the center of the cooking grate. Grill 6 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from grill.
Grate the zest from the lime, then squeeze the juice. In a small bowl, combine the juice, zest, and honey.
Serve the peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with some of the sauce.

ODDIO1 Headphones Hide iPod Shuffle 4G in Plain Sight
While I thought those wristbands they used to make for the iPod Shuffle were cool, it was a bit unwieldy to have a headphone cord running down your arm to the Shuffle. This new design takes it to the next level, since it incorporates the 4th generation iPod Shuffle in the headphones themselves.
Designed by Jeremy Saxton and Jacob Hall, the ODDIO1 allows you to dock your iPod Shuffle directly into one side of the headphones. This eliminates the need for a cord flying about, and is ideal for exercise and outdoor activities.
Once the Shuffle clicks into place, you can still access the dock connector on the bottom so you don't have to take it out of the headphones to charge or sync. I only hope they counterbalanced the headphones, otherwise the docked side might slump because of the added weight of the iPod.
The ODDIO1 is another Kickstarter project, and has thusfar reached just under $7,000 of its $45,000 goal. You'll need to pledge $35(USD) or more to get a pair of these headphones.

Though she typically photographs her clients in her Pelham studio or amid Alabama landscapes, Amanda Moses made an exception to that rule in late 2012. To celebrate the holiday season, she snapped a series of shots in Santa's workshop, a whimsical set where the bearded myth himself made his list, checked it twice, and mugged for the camera with Moses's two young daughters.
When she's not framing Santa, Moses draws on more than 10 years of photographic expertise to capture images of families, children, weddings, and sexy boudoir pictures. To better grasp what kinds of poses or prints they most prefer, Moses likes to spend time getting to know her clients before each session—a practice that also comes in handy for putting subjects at ease for the shoot.
SuperCute Photography's team believes pictures not only preserve memories, but tell stories over and over again, as well. SuperCute assists in preventing stories from fading by offering professional photo shoots for families, children, babies, and couples. While they also specialize in model portfolios, they make sure that everyone who sits before their camera feels like a star. In addition to covering weddings and special events, their expertise extends to photo editing and restoration.

Ettus Research Releases Software Defined Radio Platforms Featuring Kintex-7 FPGA
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ettus Research, a National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) company, today introduced the USRP X300 and USRP X310 high-performance, modular software defined radio (SDR) platforms. Both platforms combine two RF transceivers covering DC–6 GHz with up to 120 MHz bandwidth and a large user-programmable Kintex-7 FPGA. The USRP X300 and USRP X310 both feature multiple high-speed interface options, including PCI Express, dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet and dual 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is available in a convenient desktop or rack-mountable half-wide 1U form factor. The USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) architecture, common to all NI USRP™ (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) devices, provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use interface. Developers can programmatically control the USRP with the UHD C++ API, or choose from a wide selection of third-party tools and software such as GNU Radio. The USRP X300 and USRP X310 use a flexible software ecosystem to deliver cost-effective, high-performance SDR solutions that help wireless system designers quickly create simple prototypes, develop complex systems and accelerate their wireless research.
Both the USRP X300 and USRP X310 leverage the Kintex-7 family of FPGAs from Xilinx. The USRP X300 uses the XC7K325T, and the USRP X310 is based on the larger XC7K410T. Kintex-7 FPGAs integrate up to 1,540 DSP48 slices operating in parallel so USRP users can deploy custom or third-party signal processing algorithms onto each device. Users can process data in real time using their own DSP algorithms such as filters, modulators/demodulators and coders/decoders. They can also access and control the wide range of peripherals available on each USRP, including the RF front ends.
"The USRP X310 and USRP X300 significantly extend the USRP product family to a new level in capability and processing power," said Matt Ettus, founder and president of Ettus Research. "Offering unprecedented levels of real-time signal processing power and RF bandwidth, the USRP X310 and USRP X300 can now address applications such as next generation 5G wireless standard prototyping, multichannel spectrum scanning and analysis and even active radar prototyping and development."

Beet Bull's Blood - Heirloom |
No reviews yet. Be the first. |
This is the most uniform strain available. Remarkably sweet, 35 days for baby leaf tops.
BULL'S BLOOD - HEIRLOOM Beets Latin name: Beta vulgaris
Selected by seedsman Kees Sahin in the Netherlands from the French variety Crapaudine for the darkest-colored leaves. The juice from the beets is used to make the only red food coloring allowed by Swedish law. This is the most uniform strain available. Remarkably sweet, 35 days for baby leaf tops, or 55 days for edible roots.
Plant at a soil temp of 65-75 degrees. Seed depth: 1/2" Seed spacing: 2" Thin: 4-6" Row spacing: 20-24 Days to Germination: 10-20 Days to Harvest: 55-65
Seed saving Instructions: Biennial. Beets will cross-pollinate. Varieties must be separated by 1/2 mile from other beets the second year when going to seed. Beets are fairly frost tolerant and will overwinter in mild climates if well mulched. In northern climates trim leaves to 2" and store roots in slightly damp sawdust or sand in a root cellar over the winter. Roots store 4-6 months at 32-40 degrees F. Replant in the spring and harvest seed heads when dry.
I first say these beets growing at Fort Hays, Kansas in a garden that had the same seeds planted that the soldiers planted years ago.

I have a question which hopefully someone here can answer. In a cold weather temperate zone (usda 5b) how late can a Basjoo be planted and still be expected to put on enough growth to have a stab at surviving the winter outdoors? I have just transplanted some sword suckers (ranging in height from 1 to 2 1/2 feet tall). I probably only have between 2 and 3 more months of frost-free weather. Does anyone have any idea as to whether these plants could get large enough to make it with mulching this year?
Thanks in advance, any shared experiences would be welcomed! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted some basjoos at this time last year and they're back and bigger than ever. As long as you water well and protect this winter, they should be fine. |

Tastebud: Venerable, Imitable, Spreadable Camembert
Presented to Napoleon III on the inaugural day of the 1855 World's Fair, Camembert first appeared during the late 19th century in the Norman village of the same name. Bloomy, fruity, and prone to spoilage, Brie-like Camembert stayed a local favorite for decades, until the invention of its signature wooden box and the advent of the railroad could carry the downy wheels to Paris and beyond. So en vogue was the cheese that it became the most copied in the world, prompting the French government to award Normandy-produced Camembert its Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée in 1983.
Aside from inspiring imitations, the cheese has also been an unlikely muse for the arts: a limp, sun-melted wheel of Camembert moved Salvador Dali to paint the famously languid timepieces in his Surrealist masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory. According to the MoMA Highlights catalog, the artist went on to... Read more >

Every one of America's Classics has a unique story to tell, but together these restaurants represent the country's rich fabric and illustrate how the closest communities cohere around food. As 2007 award recipient Shug Signa said about her family's 68-year-old restaurant, Doe's Eat Place in Greenville, Mississippi, "People come together, never meet a stranger, and it's the American way." This family-owned and -operated restaurant is an icon of the culinary and cultural landscape of the Mississippi Delta. Doe's Eat Place grew out of a 1940s grocery store that sold homemade hot tamales, eventually transforming itself into a casual steak joint that served both the African-American and white communities in segregated Mississippi.

WHAT? Berry trails. Perhaps more associated with Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn than with fine cuisine, huckleberries grow most widely in the West, and along Midwestern rivers, like the Mississippi, on which Huck spent so many days lazing. Huckleberries come in many shades, including pink, white, blue-black, and purple, with the blue-black variety being the firmest and most widely available in the marketplace. James Beard was a fan, writing in American Cookery that they were "wonderful to the taste." Unlike their close relatives, blueberries and cranberries, which have a multitude of soft, little seeds in their center, each huckleberry contains ten hard, small seeds, and their flavor is more tart. Huckleberries are not cultivated; their growing season is typically from June through August. According to Beard, they "make good pies and cakes and other typically American delights." WHERE?Pages

Ray Wilson accompanied by his 10 piece band, took to the stage of the Polish Radio Hall at the iconic Radio Trojka Studios in Warsaw on Sunday April 14th 2013.
This performance was a celebration of Ray's diverse musical career which has spanned over 20 years. While featuring songs from his time with grunge sensation Stiltskin and rock legends Genesis, the focus is on Rays solo career. Including the humorous Airport Song from his early days as a songwriter in Edinburgh, Scotland; right up to the present day with songs like Easier That Way from his most recent album Chasing Rainbows.
This Double live CD and DVD, includes Ray's first full length video recording of his career.
DVD included in the "20 years and more" package is recorded in PAL Region 2 system (standard system in Europe). Not all DVD players outside Europe read DVDs from this system. (But all computers!) Please check if your device does comply.
Each CD is signed by Ray Wilson personally. Free sticker with Ray Wilson logo is added to every order.

Ray Wilson and the Berlin Symphony Ensemble, Genesis Classic, Double CD/DVD. Recorded in Poznan, Poland on December 18th, the final show of 2010. The 2 hour show also features a bonus DVD. Available to buy online Now
Ray Wilson's first studio album after Genesis featuring: Space Oddity, Hey Hey, Ghost, Sarah, plus 3 bonus tracks: Dark, Adolescent Breakdown and Reason for Running.
In the Autumn of 2006 Ray Wilson and Stiltskin embarked upon a European Tour to promote the studio CD, She. The new Ray Wilson and Stiltskin Live CD was taken from the Oct 25th concert in Bonn Harmonie.
The CD has 16 tracks, lasting just under 80 minutes and includes the number 1 UK and MTV Europe hit single Inside and the top 20 single Footsteps, as well as the most recent releases Lemon Yellow Sun and She. During this tour Ray performed a 2 hour show that took him back to his rock roots. The Cut_ versions of Another Day, Sarah, Gypsy, and Ghost gave the Audience quite a contrast from Ray's normally more acoustic shows of recent years.
Ray states that, âIt was great to get back to the sound that gave me and Stiltskin such great success in the mid nineties. I had 2 excellent guitarists on tour, Uwe Metzler and Ali Ferguson, and it allowed me to take the show to a new level.â In a year when Genesis are taking to the road again, Ray feels very much at peace with the path his career is taking. Over 100 shows last year and a similar number planned for this year allows audiences all over Europe to see why Genesis picked this singer/songwriter to replace Phil Collins and why he continues to delight and entertain fans year on year.
In the mid-nineties Stiltskin breathed new life into the UK rock scene with the massive hit single Inside, taken from the Top 10 album The Mind's Eye. Inside reached number 1 in both UK and MTV European charts and was followed up with the Top 20 single Footsteps.
The new CD has 12 new tracks and features original frontman Ray Wilson.
The music is a fusion of diverse influences including Daft Punk, Phil Lynott, Audioslave, Metallica, Bowie, and Radiohead.
This CD contains the following tracks:
This is Ray's debut solo CD - Change. The album contains 13 tracks and is recorded with a host of different musicians.
New t-shirts are now available
Postage is still only £1.99 per order.

UCL Main Library
Construction works near Main Library until early 2016
Please note that Main Library users may experience noise disturbances in reading rooms from works taking place on the UCL Wilkins Terrace project.
Current disruption information
UPDATE: Demolition works on the foundations of the UCL Lower Refectory are expected to continue into the first week of February 2015.
Working hours on the project site will be from 8am until approximately 5.30pm.
Work is continuing on the UCL Wilkins Terrace site to demolish the Lower Refectory, with demolition works on the Refectory's foundations beginning in the New Year.
The works are expected to cause noise disruption to surrounding areas, including the Main Library. Due to their proximity to the Wilkins Terrace site, the Donaldson and the Romance Languages reading rooms are expected to experience the most noise disruption.
Contractors are continuing to take measures to mitigate noise, including the use of acoustic baffling. Working hours will be from 8am until around 3pm. This phase of works is scheduled to take place through until the end of January 2015.
Noise cancelling Headphones
For the duration of the works noise cancelling headphones can be borrowed from the Main Library Short Loan Collection, using your library account.

The refurbishment project will include:

Providing a new service area where the Issue Desk is currently, to provide:
- Three Self-issue and renewal terminals

- Staff available to help you use the library and help you manage your library account
- A self-service collection point for requested books
- A discrete self-service short loan collection for high demand material
- A self-service audio-visual collection

other UCL Libraries and for more information about the Main Library
project, see our webpage.

The Main Library is located on the 1st floor of the Wilkins Building.
The easiest way to reach it is to enter the main UCL site via the Gower Street entrance, walk around the left hand side of the central portico and enter the door at the top of the ramp. Once inside, turn left and go through the door at the end of the small corridor. The library entrance and reception desk are to the right, adjacent to the Octagon.
Disabled access
Most floors and collections are now accessible from the lift installed next to the Library's main entrance. There are, however, a few parts of certain collections that remain difficult to access due to the nature of the Main Library buildings. For details of which collections are involved and how to make arrangements to over come any difficulties, please see Information for users with disabilities or contact the Library's Disabled Users' Officer, or phone 020 7679 7110.

I heard this demo doesn't have uses like the one we'll all have access to very soon. I don't care about the limited demos on Nintendo products but I will with this. Even after release I will be playing this demo, especially if it is slightly different from the final release. I played the Halo PC demo for years and only stopped because Gamespy stopped existing last year. I dig an unlimited demo and fighting games are a rare breed.
Still hoping on a duder to pass a code my way! Pm me yo.

New open source UML editor by Mentor Graphics
Mentor Graphics (the company behind the BridgePoint™ xtUML UML Executable environment ) has recently announced its intentions to release as open source the UML Editor included in BridgePoint.
Having more open source UML editors is always a positive step though you should not get too excited about this. Only the front-end editor is released, the verifier and the compiler (to generate code in different platforms) remain proprietary. Anyway, at least, you can give (their interpretation of) Executable UML a try by using a specialized editor.

There's nothing worse than being on a date, one that's not too exciting, and just wishing it could end in sex. It's as though you're counting down the minutes, maybe even weighing the social graces of when it's actually OK to mention that it's time to head out and get it on somewhere. It kinda makes you wonder why you just didn't skip the whole date thing and get straight to the fucking, doesn't it? Besides, it's not like you're looking for love at the moment anyway.
Far too many people waste their time on chatter and getting to know someone when in reality they just want to bang. Even my friends who use hookup apps often complain to me that although both parties are well aware that they're there to have sex, there's this awkward period of sort of dancing around the inevitable. But why? Why is it so hard for us to just drop our pants and get right in there? Is it that ingrained that forging some superficial connection is a necessary step before a physical connection can be even broached? If so, un-train your brain and go for the jugular, sexually speaking, of course. You're there to get down, so just do it already. Keep reading »

Executive Office For Administration And Finance Publishes First Annual Performance Report
Report Highlights Progress Made in Delivering A&F's Strategic Goals
BOSTON – Monday, September 23, 2013 - Continuing the Patrick Administration's commitment to making government more effective, accountable and open, Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor today issued the Executive Office for Administration and Finance's (A&F) Fiscal Year 2013 Performance Report. This report highlights the progress A&F has made in achieving its strategic goals and displays data relating to A&F's key performance measures.
"This performance report represents another important milestone in Governor Patrick's efforts to change the way state government does business by focusing on results and improving transparency," said Secretary Shor.
The A&F FY2013 Performance Report follows the publication of A&F's preliminary two-year strategic plan in June 2012 which set out four overarching goals: Better Finance, Better Health Care, Better Performance and Better Government. Highlights from the A&F FY2013 Performance Report include:
Better Finance
- Maintained the Commonwealth's highest-ever bond ratings;
- Published the Patrick Administration's first-ever program budget, a more transparent and comprehensive account of state spending; and
- Invested $36 million in energy-efficiency projects in state buildings that will generate enough savings/revenue to support full or partial "self-funding".
Better Health Care
- Through A&F-affiliated organizations, executed several initiatives to reduce costs of government funded health care programs:
- The Health Connector reduced overall premiums paid to participating health insurers by more than 14% over the last two years through innovative procurements, resulting in savings of $267 million; and
- The Group Insurance Commission's (GIC) FY2014-2018 health plan contracts bind insurers to reducing and then reversing year-on-year increases in per capita health care costs.
- Continued to support the implementation of municipal health care reform which has collectively saved more than 204 communities and school districts over $200 million in health insurance premiums since January 2011.
Better Performance
- Worked in collaboration with relevant Secretariats to implement 17 reforms to improve government efficiency and effectiveness; and
- Provided $2.25 million in funding through the Community Innovation Challenge (CIC) grant program to support 30 local government innovation and efficiency projects.
Better Government
- Continued to enhance the Commonwealth's Open Checkbook by adding spending information from quasi-public agencies such as the MBTA, the Massachusetts School Building Authority, and the Pension Reserves Investment Management Board; and
- Launched the Informed MA website in May 2013, a user-friendly portal that enables the public to learn more about how their tax dollars are being spent.
The MassResults initiative is led by the Office of Commonwealth Performance, Accountability and Transparency (CPAT), which is based in the Executive Office of Administration and Finance. As part of MassResults, all Secretariats published strategic plans alongside the Governor's Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Recommendation and are due to publish performance reports in January 2015.

Ford Motor Company F) saw a depressing 2012 second quarter, with a sharp 39% fall in profits to $0.30 per share and 6% drop in revenues to $33.3 billion due to lower operating results in all regions except North America. Further, it expects market share in the U.S. and Europe to be lower than 16.5% and 8.3%, respectively, in 2011 and overall pre-tax operating profit to be lower than 2011 compared with the prior guidance of tallying.
We are also concerned about the company's higher structural costs and economic weakness around the world. Therefore, we continue with our Underperform recommendation on the stock and set a target price of $8.25.
The current P/E, which is close to the lower end of the historical range, is at a 31% discount to the peer group for 2012. Our $8.25 target price, 6.2x 2012 EPS, reflects our Underperform recommendation.

Perceived Benefits Of Hedge Fund Regulation Deteriorates Among Investors, According To Latest Ernst & Young Global Hedge Fund Survey
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite increasing regulatory requirements for hedge funds, only 10% of investors feel that regulations effectively protect their interests, and 85% of investors do not believe these requirements will help prevent the next financial crisis, according to Ernst & Young's sixth annual survey of the global hedge fund market, Finding Common Ground.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/59011-ernst-young-global-hedge-fund-survey-perceived-benefits-of-regulation
The 2012 survey, compiled by consulting firm Greenwich Associates for Ernst & Young, compares opinions from 100 hedge fund managers who manage over US$710 billion and 50 institutional investors with over US$190 billion allocated to hedge funds on current topics related to the hedge fund industry. Findings show that although the two groups agree on increasing investments in headcount, technology and risk management, stark contrasts exist on compensation structure, fees and expenses.
Ratan Engineer, global leader of Ernst & Young's Asset Management practice, says: "Our survey findings suggest that hedge fund regulations are not beneficial to investors, who overwhelmingly question their purpose and proliferation. It may still be worthwhile for hedge fund managers to constructively engage with regulators to help them stay focused on the main goal – financial stability – rather than introducing more costly or unnecessary requirements that investors feel are of little value."
Key findings from the report include: Regulatory compliance Managers will need to commit time and resources to understanding and complying with various regulatory requirements. Managers are already seeing regulations increasing their costs in prompting upgrades of compliance functions (34%) and technology dedicated to reporting (17%). Although investors expect these additional compliance costs, they fear these expenses will be passed on to the funds. Arthur Tully, co-leader of Ernst & Young's Global Hedge Funds practice, says: "The general increase in costs, including regulatory-related expenses, has created barriers to entry and has resulted in the consolidation of funds that do not have the capital to support the costly infrastructure required. This is a trend we will likely see continue in the near future." Compensation Investors and hedge fund managers have made little progress since 2010 in reconciling their opinions of how compensation should align with risk and performance. In many ways, they are drifting further apart. In 2010, 94% of managers felt risk and performance were effectively aligned with investor objectives, while 50% of investors felt the same, according to Restoring the Balance, Ernst & Young's 2010 survey of the global hedge fund market. In 2012, 87% of managers feel this is true, while only 42% of investors agree. In addition, more than two-thirds of managers say that their compensation structure has not changed in the past three years – just 14% say that less is paid in cash, and just 10% say that compensation is subject to longer deferral periods. Investors, by contrast, say less than 40% of compensation should be paid in cash; they would like to see a larger portion paid in equity and deferred cash, subject to clawbacks. The gap between managers and investors on compensation structures is not new, but the fact that it shows no sign of narrowing may become troublesome. However, this dissonance has not caused material redemptions, nor do investors cite it as a key consideration for choosing a fund.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

You can run the Bash command type wine to see which executable is running (mine is /usr/bin/wine).
Where is your Windows environment, including the fake C drive? Usually it's in ~/.wine/, and the C drive is ~/.wine/drive_c/. If it's not there, you can run wineprefixcreate to set it all up. Or you can delete (or rename) your existing ~/.wine directory and run it to recreate it.

Gear Review
Rookie Mistake
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I made a rookie mistake, so it's not the bag's fault, but I left a wet board in the bag for 2 weeks and the moisture wreaked havoc on my board. Rusted all over...My mistake, but for any other novice, be advised about the moisture issue. Other than that, this bag is awesome. The boot pockets are outstanding. I wear size 12 and they fit perfectly in the bag with a little space left over. Dakine have solid gear!

Score from 286 reviews
Art deco architecture Very friendly and helpful staff
Bed and pillows were too soft for me resulting in back and neck pain No mini-bar fridge in room - had to rely on ice to keep drinks cold
The location is wonderful - the staff is extremely helpful. This hotel does not belong to the Shangri-La chain - that was confusing- but it is still a great place to stay in Santa Monica.
The hotel's location was very good. The building is beautiful with lots of Art Deco features. Staff is friendly and valet parking very efficient.
The room was very dated, especially the windows, carpets and some of the furniture. It felt like it all needed a serious clean-up and makeover. The sofa bed was small and not very nice with some very old IKEA duvets thrown on top for the kids. A/C again old and extremely noisy. All in all very poor value for money at 615 dollars per night...
Location and very friendly staff
Value for money not in line with the room provided
- splendid location, near the ocean, close to Santa Monica entertainment area - nice renovated facilities with an Art Deco atmosphere - helpful staff - good restaurant
- doors locks get blocked when in heat (sunlight) leaving hosts outside and requiring staff intervention (came very fast) - wifi coverage was not available in the restaurant and did not cover the whole room - we found no towels at all in the bathroom when returning to the room one of the afternoons - breakfast was good but only cooked English/American options, no buffet with fresh vegetables and fruits, or cheese
Period building, location, spacious room/suite
fantastic roof bar; great staff; clean and good location
two bedroom suite with ocean views was perfect for our family with the extra fold out be in living room (but beware not suitable for an adult or older child)
Bar upstairs has great views but gets very loud in the evening so if you want somewhere for a quiet drink. Restaurant food was inconsistent quality but they tried hard to make up short comings
1. Nice roomy araa with two bedrooms and two shower bathrooms. 2. Great ocean view 3. Great neighborwood, where you can walk around even at night.
1. A little bit more expensive but quite worthwhile to stay here 2. The gym at the basement was OK. But did not exceed my expectations that I had had for a hotel in this calibre.
Very good location, good fitness, nice sky bar, enjoying bath
Too expensive, price-quality is not okay, some staff at sky bar not friendly, price for valet parking is not normal
Autopark charge is 36$ per night. This is crayz. For hotel customer it should be set in different price.
Rooftop bar staff very slow, not attentive. pool does not have any sun after 12 noon
Staff friendly, view amazing, location very good
Location and sea/beach views, architecture, breakfast
Rooms are a bit rundown for this price category
Staff v friendly Roof top sunset bar (does get v busy) Fire pit by the pool Good food Free coffee in the am
Rooms were expensive Weren't the most adept at splitting the bill with my friend
Staff Location New refurbished rooms
Noise I don't recommend to have your room in the 7th floor with the bar in front of you
view, size of apt
attitude of doorman when i tried to enter the hotel bar when he didnt let me in and didnt ask if i was a guest
Great view. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Staff was very polite and helpful.
Room could have been bigger for the cost.
I liked the roof top bar
It's a bit noisy and the rooms are small

Harry Potter and the magic of reading
With the final book due in July, teachers assess the impact the popular series has had on children's learning.
Sitting at a table in the library of Lehman Alternative Community School in Ithaca, N.Y., sixth-grader Marcus Weathersby makes a confession.
"As soon as I get the next Harry Potter book, I'm going to read the last page," he says. "I can't wait. I just cannot wait."
The seventh and last Harry Potter book will be released in July. Millions of Potter fans won't have another book to look forward to after that. But Harry's effect on many young people – and their love of reading – may be magical enough to last a lifetime.
A 2006 study by Scholastic and Yankelovich found that the Harry Potter books have had a positive impact not only on kids' attitudes toward reading, but also on the quality of their schoolwork. The Kids and Family Reading Report surveyed 500 children ages 5 to 17 and their parents or guardians. More than half of Harry Potter readers said they hadn't read books for fun before the series, and 65 percent said they have done better in school since reading the books. The study also found that the reading habits of boys – who consistently have lower literacy test scores than girls – changed the most as a result of reading the books.
Back in the Ithaca library, Marcus's friend, seventh-grader Daniel Carroll, says that he's going to read the end first, too. The boys belong to a group of students who compile book reviews for a blog on the school's website. Their teacher, library media specialist Claire Michelle Viola, doesn't quite seem to understand their strategy.
"That doesn't ruin it for you?" she asks.
"No," says Daniel, smiling. "I always forget [the end] by the time I get there."

A tacky affair
No stranger to aristocratic excess, Astragal has many memories of whiling away happy days with his landed chums at their country estates. So when a summons to Blenheim Palace arrived with the morning's post, Astragal quickly donned his cape and boots and was on the next coach out of town.

The SEP for Macintosh SMC service (smcdaemon)
Article:TECH131582 | | | Created: 2010-01-08 | | | Updated: 2010-11-02 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH131582 |
Is there an SMC service in SEP for Macintosh?
How do I stop/start it?
Is there logging?
What does it control? (since there is no firewall in SEP for Mac)
SEP for Macintosh was introduced as of SEP 11.0.6
The daemon is visible in the Macintosh Activity Monitor as "smcdaemon" and will be running only on managed clients.
- The daemon can be controlled by from terminal command prompt, via smclient (note one "c" in spelling)
-s|--start start smc daemon.
-t|--stop stop smc daemon.
-l[LEVEL], --debuglevel[=LEVEL] show/set debug level
LEVEL=none,info,support or engineer.
- Log is kept in /Library/Application Support/Symantec/SMC/debug/smc_debug.log
- The smcdaemon controls only manager/client communications; stopping it has no effect on AutoProtect, and there is no firewall component in the Macintosh version of SEP.
