New Perspectives on Medieval History
Over the past several decades, the field of medieval history has been reshaped radically. New approaches have changed the ways that medievalists think about old subjects. Our understanding of medieval society itself has expanded as previously marginal or unexplored subjects have become central to medievalists' concern. This seminar explores how the ways in which medieval historians practice their craft have altered in response to these developments. Readings in classic older works are juxtaposed with newer ones on their way to becoming classics themselves.- Term

A former security guard is behind bars after Wayne County Sheriff's Deputies say he threatened to bomb a factory in Palmyra.
Sheriff's Deputies say 42-year-old Donald Mosher of Manchester called the Garlocks Corporation Saturday night and threatened to blow it up. Deputies say Mosher is a former security guard of the sealing and packaging factory.
Investigators say employees were evacuated and bomb sniffing dogs were brought in, but nothing suspicious was found. Investigators say Mosher made another threat Wednesday, just moments before he was arrested.
Mosher is charged with making a false report.

World's Leading Automotive Engineering Organization Says It Has High Level Of Confidence In Safety Of Honeywell's Low-global-warming Refrigerant
MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that SAE International, the world's leading automotive engineering association, has reiterated that it has a "high level of confidence" that Honeywell's new low-global-warming-potential mobile air conditioning refrigerant, HFO-1234yf, is safe for use in automobiles.
SAE International's Cooperative Research Project (CRP), which included technical experts from 11 global automakers, said in a press release Monday that "the high level of confidence" that SAE CRP has in the safety of the refrigerant "continues to grow."
The CRP said that the findings of its original evaluation of the refrigerant "remain well founded" and that the refrigerant "posed no greater risk than any other engine compartment fluids." The CRP also said that testing conducted by Daimler late last year that raised questions about safety was "unrealistic" and used "extremely idealized conditions … while ignoring actual collision scenarios."
"The SAE's latest evaluation, combined with years of other extensive testing, leaves no doubt that HFO-1234yf is safe for automotive applications," said Terrence Hahn, vice president and general manager for Honeywell Fluorine Products. "Automakers globally continue to adopt this new, effective solution to comply with new environmental regulation, including the European Union's Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) Directive."
HFO-1234yf, a highly-efficient, safe and effective replacement for HFC-134a, is already in use by the auto industry. It reduces global warming impact by 99.7 percent over HFC-134a and, according to third-party data, its adoption in cars today would have the greenhouse gas equivalent impact of removing more than 4 million cars from European roads. HFO-1234yf was the subject of comprehensive testing conducted by an SAE CRP from 2007 to 2009. That CRP, which was sponsored by 15 global automakers, including all leading German automakers, major suppliers and 18 international, independent research institutes, concluded that HFO-1234yf is safe for use in automobile applications.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In this article we will review some of the existing features of the java.nio (New I/O) package that are a part of Java v1.4, v1.5 and v1.6. The java.nio package provides several useful abstractions: We will focus on Buffers and Channels, designed to provide bulk data transfer, multiplexing, and non-blocking IO. NIO buffer is a container for a finite amount of data that is held in contiguous memory blocks in a linear fashion. Each sub class of a Buffer represents a specific Java non-boolean primitive type with ByteBuffer being the one most commonly used. The NIO buffer facilitates bulk data transfers data transfers between Channels by eliminating the need for any additional copying or auxiliary data structures. A Buffer has the following properties: These properties are never negative and follow the invariant: A container for holding binary data with convenience methods to compact, duplicate and slice the data contents. The NIO ByteBuffer has two flavors: direct (non-heap buffers) and non-direct (heap buffers). The contents of a direct buffer are allocated from the host operating system instead of the Java heap, and are not managed by the Java garbage collector. Non-direct buffers are copied into direct buffers for native I/O operations. The JDK tool jconsole can be used to monitor the resources associated with direct ByteBuffers. [ONLY STARTING WITH Java 1.7] Some notes about direct buffers from the JDK documentation are in order: "It is therefore recommended that direct buffers be allocated primarily for large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying system's native I/O operations. In general it is best to allocate direct buffers only when they yield a measurable gain in program performance." A direct buffer is created using either the A non-direct buffer is created using the ByteBuffer methods The byte-order of a newly-created byte buffer is always Let's look at some of the important methods of a ByteBuffer: None of the Buffer or ByteBuffer methods is thread safe. Be sure to use the appropriate locking (synchronization) methods when they are used in multi-threaded implementations. A channel is a data conduit that facilitates data transfer using ByteBuffer. It represents connectivity to an entity capable of performing I/O operations, such as files, network sockets etc. While stream I/O reads a character at a time, channel I/O reads a buffer at a time. It is important to size the ByteBuffer appropriately to the underlying operating system block size for optimum performance. A channel is bidirectional--you can read from a channel (ReadableByteChannel) or write to a channel(WritableBytechannel). The interface We will look at some of the important subclasses of a Channel: A FileChannel is a specialization for reading, writing and manipulating a file (directory operations). The following are some of the capabilities of a FileChannel:
The following UML shows the most significant methods excluding scattering and gathering behavior. Since there is no A FileChannel is capable of transferring bytes between the channels directly or when marshaled within a ByteBuffer. It is important to size the ByteBuffer appropriately to the underlying operating system block size for optimum performance. Let's look at some of the important methods of a FileChannel: The behavior of the "Many operating systems can transfer bytes directly from the source channel into the filesystem cache without actually copying them." map ( The I/O from read(ByteBuffer) copies bytes from the file into the buffer. The file position is updated with number of bytes read. write(ByteBuffer) copies bytes from the buffer to the file. The file position is updated with the number of bytes written. If the file is in append mode, the position is first advanced to the end of the file before writing to the file. The following is an example of read/write methods that copy files using a direct buffer as well as The behavior of the file lock is dependent upon the host operating system, as noted in the Javadoc entry: "Some operating systems do not support shared locks, in which case a request for a shared lock is automatically converted into a request for an exclusive lock
. File locks are held on behalf of the entire Java virtual machine. They are not suitable for controlling access to a file by multiple threads within the same virtual machine". Prior to JDK1.4, threads engaged in network I/O exhibited the following characteristics: With functionality introduced in JSR-51, it is possible to set Channels in a non-blocking mode, under the watch of a Selector that has the ability to recognize/sense when one or more channels become available for data transfer. This frees the application from having to dedicate threads for blocking on devices awaiting data or implementing expensive polling processes. The following UML diagram shows the significant methods of Selector, SelectableChannel and SelectionKey. Some notes about non-blocking I/O: A socket is conceptually an endpoint for communication between two machines. Below is a UML of the java.nio classes showing significant methods that support network I/O (excluding scattering reads and gathering writes). A channel that can be asynchronously closed and interrupted. Only SelectableChannels can be multiplexed /managed with Selectors. The following methods provide for the configuration and management of SelectableChannels:

An Introduction to Java NIO and NIO.2
September 9, 2009
or put()
operations with no arguments are always conducted relative to the current position (incrementing the position by one). Absolute get(n)
and put(n)
operations take an explicit element index and have no bearing on the position.
or put
operation on the same buffer is successful until position < limit
and reset()
sets the position to the previously-marked position (position=mark). 0 <= mark <= position <= limit <=capacity
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(7);
Figure 1. Newly created ByteBuffer Direct and Non-Direct
, or the FileChannel.map()
method that maps a region of a file directly into memory.allocate()
or wrap()
. The wrap()
method converts an existing byte array into a ByteBuffer. The underlying array is always available by invoking the
-- where bytes of a multibyte value are ordered from least significant to most significant. You can query the order by calling order()
or change the order by calling order(ByteOrder). This is a very useful feature if you are dealing with legacy data stored in binary files generated by programs in other languages on varying hardware.Using ByteBuffer
Converts any byte array into a ByteBuffer. Any modifications to the ByteBuffer also change the underlying array.
creates a new ByteBuffer with a capacity and the limit equal to the number of bytes remaining (limit-position) in the source buffer with mark undefined. Both the buffers share the content and hence the changes to one of the buffer are visible in other.
In the case of non- blocking I/O, there is always a possibility of a partial read or write, where only a part of a buffer was read or written. Before the next I/O operation, the data that was already used has to be drained so that only the remaining data which was not transferred/transmitted remains in the ByteBuffer. This method achieves exactly that.
: creates a read- only version to share the contents of the source buffer. The new buffer (read-only) created doesn't allow the contents to be modified. However, changes to the source buffer's content will be visible in the read-only buffer. WARNING: Not Thread-Safe
has only two methods:isOpen()
checks if the channel is open-- until JDK 1.6--the Files are opened using streams to fetch the channel, in lieu of an open()
method in a channel.close()
closes the channel--blocking happens when more than one thread attempts to close it.FileChannel
Figure 2. FileChannel open()
method in FileChannel to open a channel (prior to NIO.2), you could use Java I/O streams to associate a file channel as shown in the example below: //open the files using the old fashioned way -- streams
FileInputStream fsin = new FileInputStream(srcFileName);
FileOutputStream fsout = new FileOutputStream(trgtFilename);
RandonAccesFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(someFilename, "rw")
//retrieve the respective channels using getChannel method
FileChannel fcin = fsin.getChannel();
FileChannel fcout = fsout.getChannel();
FileChannel fcran = raf.getChannel();
Similar to a Buffer, FileChannel also has a file position that marks the current position from the beginning of the file. A read or write operation on this file updates the position.position(newPosition)
Slides the file position similar to RandomAccessFile.seek()
. You could set the position greater than the file's current size, but it does not change the size of the file, unless you write to the file at the new position.truncate(newSize)
Shrinks the file-- if the given size is greater than or equal to the file's size then the file is not modified. Otherwise the file length is set to the new size.transferTo()
Copies bytes from the channel the file is associated with to a given writeable channel directly without the use of buffers.transferFrom()
Copies bytes into the channel the file is associated with from a given readable channel directly without the use of buffers.transferTo()/transferFrom
is dependent upon the host operating system, as noted in the Javadoc entry:FileChannel.MapMode
, position, size) A convenient way to map a region of the channel's data file into a direct byte buffer (MappedByteBuffer
) so that you could change the byte order, access file data, or translate the data using methods like asIntBuffer()
returned by this method will have a position of zero and a limit and capacity of size; its mark will be undefined.MappedByteBuffer
implies fetching bytes from the file and writing the buffer stores bytes directly into the file, avoiding system call overhead or buffer copies. //open the files using the old fashioned way -- streams
RandomAccessFile rwf = new RandomAccessFile(someFilename, "rw")
RandomAccessFile rof = new RandomAccessFile(someFilename, "r")
//retrieve the respective channels using getChannel method
FileChannel fchrw = rwf.getChannel();
FileChannel fchr = rof.getChannel();
//map the file to the buffer -- creates read-write buffer
MappedByteBuffer mbb = fchrw.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE, 0, fc.size);
//map the file to the buffer -- creates read-only buffer
MappedByteBuffer mbb = fchrw.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE, 0, fc.size);
//do any data translation needed since MappedByteBuffer extends ByteBuffer
methods: //open the files using the old fashioned way -- streams
File inFile = new File("C:/SourceFile.java"); // pick some arbitrary java file
File transferFile = new File("C:/TransferFile.txt");
File copyFile = new File("C:/SourceFileCopy.txt ");
//retrieve the respective channels using getChannel method
FileChannel fcin = new RandomAccessFile(inFile, "r").getChannel();
FileChannel fcoutTransfer = new RandomAccessFile(transferFile, "rw").getChannel();
FileChannel fcoutCopy = new RandomAccessFile(copyFile, "rw").getChannel();
//use transferTo method to copy
Long bytesTransferred = fcin.transferTo(0, fcin.size(), fcoutTransfer);
//allocate buffer -- use the right size by experimenting with different sizes
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(1024); //direct buffer
long size = fcin.size(), n=0;
//time to play the old game - clear, read, flip and write
while( n<size ) {
buffer.clear(); //makes the buffer ready by resetting the pointers
if( fcin.read(buffer) < 0 ) //fill the buffer by reading from channel
buffer.flip(); //makes the buffer writing the data just read
n+= fcout.write(buffer);
//close the resources
fcin.close(); fcoutTransfer.close();fcoutCopy.close();
This method blocks until an exclusive lock is acquired, returning a FileLock object. If the channel is closed, or the invoking thread is interrupted, this method gives up trying to acquire the lock and throws the appropriate exception. Regions of a file can be blocked by calling lock(position, size, shared), whose parameters specify the position at which the locked region is to start, the size of the locked region and whether the lock is shared or exclusive. //open the files using the old fashioned way -- use File object
File file = new File(filename);
//retrieve the respective channels using getChannel method
FileChannel fcin = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw").getChannel();
//lock the file
FileLock lock = cin.lock(); // this method blocks until it can fetch the lock
lock = cin.tryLock(0, file.size(), true);//try acquiring the lock without blocking
lock.isShared(); //if the lock is shared or exclusive
Non-Blocking I/O
class Server implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try {
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(PORT);
while (!Thread.interrupted())
new Thread(new Handler(ss.accept())).start();
// one thread per socket connection
// every thread created this way will essentially block for I/O
} catch (IOException ex) { /* ... */ }
Figure 3. Selector Topology
Channels that support Network I/O
Figure 4. Network Channels SelectableChannel
creates a SelectionKey as a final product of performing the registration with a given Selector. It takes a Selector Object, interest set for Selector to monitor and an optional attachment as parameters.
Sets the blocking mode on/off. Choose this method carefully--for all practical purposes, you only call this method once to initiate the non-blocking behavior.
An integer containing the operation set bitmap.
Retrieves the SelectionKey representing the channel's registration with the given selector. SocketChannel
Creating a SocketChannel
//open the channel to create it
SocketChannel socketChannel = SocketChannel.open();
//create and prepare a buffer for data-transfer (read and ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(1000);
//try connecting to the server
socketChannel.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port));
//read the response - prepare to deal with partial reads
for (;;) {
if (in.read(buffer) < 0 && !buffer.hasRemaining())
break; // No more bytes to transfer
//process the request
buffer.compact(); // In case of partial write
Creating a DatagramChannel
//open the channel to create it
DatagramChannel datagramChannel = DatagramChannel.open();
//set the non-blocking mode on
//try connecting to the socket
datagramChannel.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port))
Creating a non-blocking ServerSocketChannel
//open the channel first before accepting the connections
ServerSocketChannel serSocketChannel = ServerSocketChannel.open();
//you could bind using the associated ServerSocket

Start Rite is without doubt one of the oldest shoe brands in the world. The company was formed in 1792 near Norwich, England, where James Smith, a cobbler, created the most beautiful shoes possible with the most exquisite leathers. Buoyed by success, he decided to establish the first shoe factory. Although up until that point all shoes had been made to measure, James invented ready-to-wear. It was in 1921 that the company, managed by his heirs, took the name of Start Rite. The tradition has been continued since then, and the entire British royal family still buys Start Rite shoes for its children to this day. These timeless models are ideal attire for all angel-faced little devils...

Many scientists around the world are in agreement that playing chess can make you smarter – a fair argument for keeping a chessboard around for the kids to find, to be sure – but how does it work?Ask the RussiansRussians have a reputation for being excellent at chess and they worked hard to get it. The game reportedly began in Eastern India in the 7th century, long before the Russians came to dominate the field, but it was the Russians who made it their no-kidding national pastime.The Soviets of the time believed it was representative of their cultural mores of intellectualism, asceticism and patriotism (a lot of very intense isms), and state-sponsored chess schools and tournaments became the norm. Once it was decided that chess was going to be a "big deal" in Russia around 1917 it took them all of three decades to become global leaders in the event.But, was it making them smarter?Ask the Germans, Venezuelans, Americans, Australians …All of these countries have conducted (or are currently conducting) in-depth studies to discover the cognitive benefits of playing chess. Of the research concluded, the answer is that it does indeed improve acuity, mathematical skills, analytical processing and critical thinking ability – particularly in children.Naturally, the research raises two very significant challenges. The first supposes that it is simply that chess (and its proponents) attracts players who are already smart and are predisposed to getting smarter regardless of what they do in their spare time. The second asks whether the game has any effect at all based on the often correct assumption that correlation is not necessarily causation.Rigorous testing to eliminate these variables, however, suggests that chess really can enhance learning and retention by exercising cognitive tools.A prevailing theory is that chess demands that a person use multiple thinking processes to play effectively, which really gives the brain a workout. An adept chess player must make numerous calculations based on an ever-changing pattern of pieces while also contemplating what both sides will do - sometimes several moves ahead. Add to that the constantly shifting strategies among opponents and a need to adapt and improve to remain victorious, and you have a recipe for some pretty dynamic brain fuel.But, how good can the Russians possibly be?Ask the World Chess Federation (FIDE)As of October 2013, there are 24 Russians in the top 100 best chess players in the world as ranked by the FIDE. If we were to include those who also hail from post-Soviet states – where we can assume a legacy of chess appreciation has been preserved – that number jumps to 45.In the FIDE country ratings, Russia is ranked first with Ukraine following close behind. Further, when ranked by the average rating of a country's top 10 players, then the entire former Soviet Union ranks within the top 85 countries (out of 149 participating).So, yeah – you could say they're pretty good, and given that many of these grandmasters are also proven geniuses you could also say they're pretty smart. Now, if only we could tell how much chess had to do with it …ATGStores.com wishes you luck in your pursuit of wisdom and checkmates.

It's an important distinction to make. The Fed can take action
to boost an ailing economy, but if it's a case of mismatched skills
or other "structural reasons," there's less policymakers can do.
Not everyone agrees with Bernanke. The president of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has said job openings have increased
steadily in the past year, but the unemployment rate hasn't come
down. He said a mismatch between the unemployed and the available
jobs is likely the main reason.
The jobless rate is currently at
9.6 percent Bernanke says the Fed is prepared to take further steps to
rejuvenate the economy by buying Treasury bonds but is wrestling
with how big the program should be.

Too much worthless talk goes on in this country about rich vs. poor, corporations vs. individuals, on and on.The only talk that is relevant in this economy is the devaluation of the dollar.The feds by way of the treasury are flooding the earth with dollars which make them worth less. In doing so, manufacturing is helped as our products are more affordable to countries with stronger currencies. Also, with cheap dollars, workers making $30/hr.in America is the same as making 2 Yuans/day in China.
All sounds good with the dollar's devaluation until inflation (the cost of goods based on cheap dollars)sets in. Prices skyrocket and the feds raise interest rates to "sop-up" excess dollars. Bernanke said this week that he believes that we need to print more dollars. Printing more dollars is described by the feds as "Quantitative Easing". In Jimmy Carter's presidency the feds raised interest rates to 19% annually (inflation rate). This means that prices for goods were doubling every 5 years.

Yemen: Security and the collapsing state
A plot in October involving explosive material and US-bound cargo planes has again focused attention on Yemen as as the base of an active terrorist threat for the West. And at the start of 2011, anti-government protests and a power struggle appear to be bringing the curtain down on 32 years of Ali Abdullah Saleh's rule. But as Ginny Hill argues, the country is in crisis on several other fronts.
Earlier this year a perceived terrorism threat from Yemen prompted the UK to stop direct flights from Yemen to the UK, and is believed to have played a part in the decision to upgrade the threat of international terrorism in the UK to severe.
But in Yemen itself, public opinion is believed to be hostile to US policy in the Middle East. President Ali Abdullah Saleh's alliance with the West on counter-terrorism since 9/11 has generated widespread resentment in the country.
Many Yemenis are now worried that heavy-handed Western insistence on counter-terrorism objectives will backfire, increasing support for al-Qaeda affiliates.
One popular Yemeni sheikh proclaimed that delegates attending a meeting of international donors in London in January were planning the invasion of Yemen.
'Enormous pressure'Yemen is the poorest country in the Middle East, with dwindling oil reserves, a growing population and a weak, incomplete central government, so donations are vital.
But although since 2006 Yemen has been pledged nearly $5bn in development aid, only a fraction of the money has been spent.
Yemen's government is unlikely to receive additional help until ministers demonstrate renewed commitment to reform and tackle corruption.
Yemen's previous record on governance reforms is poor but one Yemeni official involved in preparations for the London meeting said: "We are under enormous pressure now."
The sense of urgency that underpins the current debate about Yemen's future stems from the fact that Yemen is a collapsing state.
Oil revenues are falling, as oil production turns downward and there is currently little inward investment to support a sustainable economic base.
Terrorist networks are likely to grow as the state collapses, so an effective counter-terrorism strategy requires a long-term commitment to development, good governance and state-building.
Fragile stateYemeni civil society organisations are calling for a comprehensive approach to the country's current challenges.
They are calling for commitments to tackle poverty, support freedom of speech and protect human rights.
Yemeni opposition groups also want foreign leaders to insist on measures to reduce internal political tensions in this fragile state.
They want the Yemeni president to launch a national dialogue that addresses the grievances of grassroots southern separatists and brings an end to the six-year civil war in the northern province of Saada.
The government claims that Saada rebels, southern secessionists and al-Qaeda affiliates belong to an "axis of evil" but local analysts warn Yemeni officials are conflating domestic dissent with terrorism in order to justify repressive measures.
In recent weeks, the Yemeni military claims to have killed AQAP's deputy commander, Said al-Shihri, and military commander, Qasim al-Raymi, but the jihadi organisation says both men are still alive.
Tackling terrorism in Yemen requires an ambitious, holistic strategy, combined with an acute instinct for the interplay of local political issues.
Success depends on a united front among Western powers, support from Yemen's neighbours and committed partners in Yemen.
Yemen troublespots
Saada: Truce between government and Houthi rebels agreed in 2010 after six years of fighting. Occasional clashes and anti-government protests continue.
Sanaa: 2011: Anti-government demonstrations in capital. President declares state of emergency. On 18 March, police snipers kill more than 50 people in pro-democracy camp.
Abyan and Shabwa provinces: Major fields of operation for al-Qaeda. 2010: Government offensive against separatists forces thousands of people to flee.
Aden: 2011: As in Sanaa, thousands have joined anti-government protests. Port was scene of USS Cole suicide attack on USS Cole in 2000.

If you are the typical person in America today, you probably have several different types of insurance. If you own a home, you likely have homeowners insurance. If you own a car, you likely have auto insurance. You may also have life insurance, disability insurance, or health insurance. But what about pet insurance?
I frequently read discussions about pet insurance on pet forums. One question that is often asked is, "Should I buy pet insurance?"
You would buy pet insurance for the same reason you buy any type of insurance. You buy it to help pay for large, unexpected or unplanned veterinary bills for which you would have trouble paying for out-of-pocket.
The definition of "large" may be $500 to $600 for some pet owners, while for others it may be $5,000 to $6,000. This is why pet insurance policies aren't one size fits all.
Pet healthcare expenses fall into two categories:
1. Wellness care (some call it routine expenses) - e.g., annual or semi-annual examinations, vaccinations as needed, heartworm and intestinal parasite testing, heartworm preventative medication, monthly flea and tick control products, dental prophylaxis, early disease detection lab tests, spaying or neutering, etc. Because you can approximate the cost for this care and when they will occur every year, you can plan and save for these procedures. They aren't unexpected.
2. Accidents or illnesses - e.g., accidental poisoning, foreign body ingestion, fractures, lacerations, acute or chronic diseases, etc. These are, by nature, unplanned or unexpected and sometimes expensive, especially if care is administered at an emergency hospital or if you are referred to a specialist. These expenses are why pet owners usually consider purchasing pet insurance.
A pet insurance company recently surveyed claims they had received that were $500 or more. Almost half of the claims were for pets seen at an emergency hospital or specialty hospital. Most major metropolitan areas now have at least one emergency and/or specialty facility.
Specialists are more highly trained, solve and treat more difficult cases, have access to and use more advanced technology (e.g., CT scans or MRIs). Emergency hospitals often deal with life-threatening problems that need intensive care or even emergency surgery — usually at hours when your regular veterinarian's hospital isn't open.
For these reasons, the fees at specialty and emergency hospitals are usually higher than what you would pay at your regular veterinarian's hospital. Specialty and emergency hospitals (when needed) play an important role, along with your regular veterinarian, in providing quality healthcare to your pet, and can often be the difference between successful or unsuccessful treatment of your pet. Therefore, pet owners are starting to look more closely at pet insurance as a way to help bridge the gap between the quality of healthcare they need or want for their pet and what they can afford.
According to another recent pet insurance survey, a majority of respondents would be willing to spend "anything" to save their pet. It has been my experience, however, that when I present the cost of a diagnostic or treatment plan to pet owners, the reality of the situation sets in — and some aren't so sure of the answer anymore.
Dr. Barry Kipperman, an internist at a California 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital, stated that he frequently hears pet owners say, "I never imagined that it would cost this much to save my pet's life."
If your pet was sick or injured and required surgery and an extended hospital stay and the bill was $10,000, $5,000, or $3,000, could you afford to pay for it? If not, then you should at least look into purchasing pet health insurance.
The primary consideration for some pet owners contemplating the purchase of pet insurance may not be "could" I afford such a bill, but "would" I be willing to spend that amount of money on my pet. For some pet owners, the answer is "no." Therefore, pet insurance would be of little benefit.
I believe that more and more clients will purchase pet insurance in the future because technology and the costs of delivering quality healthcare to pets have outpaced the ability of many pet owners to pay for it. Consequently, veterinarians and pet owners will have to become familiar with pet health insurance. While pet owners and veterinarians alike can benefit by third party payment to help pay for the healthcare of pets, I'm convinced the real winners will be the pets.

Do you know if there are companies that give a discount for multiple pets?
Do you know if pet insurance gets to the point of saying, "The pet has such-and-such and the prognosis is poor. We're not going to pay for hospice care."
For instance, my vet and I both believe in making the pet as comfortable as possible and many times include Famotidine injections and/or sub-q fluids in their treatment plan. They're possibly not medically necessary, but we believe it helps the critter feel better. Will those charges be denied because they're not prescribed as a result of vomiting or kidney disease?
I also believe in having medications compounded to the exact dosage of the prescription as opposed to breaking pills in half or quarters. Will insurance companies pay the additional cost of having prescriptions compounded?
Thanks so much. -
Most pet insurance companies give a 5 to 10 percent discount for multiple pets.
At this time, pet insurance companies generally don't try to dictate specifically how a pet is treated. That decision is left up to you and your veterinarian. Fortunately, this differs from what most of us have heard about or experienced as a result of "managed care" in human medicine. I'll have a blog post soon about how pet insurance differs from our own health insurance.
Before purchasing pet insurance, be sure to read a sample policy that lists all the exclusions. If you don't understand something, call or email the company for an explanation. Most of the time, a sample policy can be downloaded from the company's website or you may have to ask for one.

U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta R-N.H.
MANCHESTER — Freshman Congressman Frank Guinta easily trumped his opponents in the Republican primary Tuesday night, teeing up a rematch between the former Manchester mayor and Democrat Carol Shea Porter in the general election.Two Republicans challenged Guinta Tuesday in the Republican primary for New Hampshire's First Congressional District seat: Rick Parent, a Wolfeboro resident and member of the Lakes Region Tea Party; and Vernon "Vern" Clough, a registered nurse from Dover.In a statement released Tuesday evening, Guinta said primary voters sent a "strong message" that they want representation in Washington from someone who understands job creation. Guinta pointed to a record of support for "nearly 30 bipartisan small business jobs bills.""I appreciate the hard work my opponents put into their races and look forward to working with them in the coming weeks," Guinta said in the prepared statement. "Together, as Granite Staters, we will ensure we do not go back to the days of former Congresswoman Shea Porter's Pelosi agenda of wasteful stimulus spending and job-killing tax increases on small businesses and middle-class working families."Guinta, the former mayor of Manchester, rode a Republican surge in 2010 to beat Shea Porter, who served two terms in office before she was ousted in the election.Guinta has positioned himself as a conservative who opposes big government and large federal initiatives, such as stimulus funding and national health care reform. He has sought to appeal to the business community and pledges to cut government spending.As of 9:49 p.m. Tuesday, Guinta was carrying 85 percent of the vote, with 23,229 ballots in his favor. Parent received 13 percent of the vote, and Clough won about 3 percent.Guinta and Shea Porter will now square off in the Nov. 6 general election.

PC Transplant Solution Realtime migration extremely slow when migrating large profiles
Article:TECH26208 | | | Created: 2007-02-04 | | | Updated: 2007-02-04 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH26208 |
The PCT real time migration process is running extremely slow. One example of a migration showed a profile with an approximate size of 20GB taking 8 hours.
All versions of PCT
Although the root cause is not known it was found that the destination machines that were being migrated to had corruption in the window security database. It would appear that in part this created a performance hit on the real time migration leading to approximately only 600k of data being transferred a second. For a larger sized personality this would push out the duration time for the migration to unacceptable levels.
MS KB 892891 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892891) was followed to identify Windows security database corruption and then remediate against the corruption.
To verify whether the Windows security database is corrupted, follow these steps:
(1) Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
(2) At the command prompt, type:
esentutl /g %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
If the Windows security database is corrupted, the output will contain the following line:
This operation may find that this database is corrupt.
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
(1) If both the Edb.log file and the Edb.chk file are in the %windir%\security directory, follow these steps to repair the security database:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type
esentutl /r edb /l %windir%\security /s %windir%\security
(2) If either the Edb.log file or the Edb.chk file is in the C:\WINDOWS\security directory, or if neither file exists in the directory, follow these steps to repair the security database:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type
esentutl /p %windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb
c. Click OK when you receive the following message:
You should only run Repair on damaged or corrupted databases. Repair will not apply information in the transaction log files on the database, and may cause information to be lost. Do you wish to proceed?
Further to this the following actions were performed in order to optimise performance of the migration:
(1) The DS was configured to perform the real time migration as per the below Altiris kb:
(2) As part of the DS job, all PCT files required for the migration are first copied down to the source machine, refer akb:
(3) PCT was utilised purely for the settings/printers portion of the profile migration and via the DS run script task and custom data source as configured in (1), MS Robocopy was used to migrate the majority of data as this did not appear to have a performance hit.

Just because you asked, I did a quick Google search, and came up with the following, which might be helpful: http://www.sniffer.net/bookshelf_do_sniffer/unix/ksh/appa_02.htm http://www.unix-systems.org/whitepapers/shdiffs.html http://www.raycosoft.com/rayco/support/porting.html Also as I said, I think ksh88 is quite close to POSIX. For me, when I learnt shell programming I followed comp.unix.shell where there are quite a number of knowledgeable people who sometimes discuss these portability issues in almost sickening detail. Both asking questions and perusing the archives is helpful, but probably way to much work for someone who just want to get up to speed on POSIX. Björn

quote:In an article on the June employment report the NYT told readers that the economy needs 150,000 jobs per month to keep pace with the growth in the population. Actually, the Congressional Budget Office projects that the underlying rate of labor force growth is now just 0.7 percent annually. This comes to roughly 1,050,000 a year or just under 90,000 a month. This is fortunate since the economy has created less than 1.8 million jobs in the 16 months since it first began adding jobs again in February of 2010. If we needed to create 150,000 jobs a month then we would have needed 2.4 million jobs to keep even with the growth of the labor force, so we would be considerable further behind where we were in February 2010. As it stands, we are roughly treading water with job growth that has been pretty much even with the growth of the population over this period.

An online documentary series covers the stories of a new Jewish culture that promises to transform the face of religion.
About this project
My name is Jesse Mann and I'm the director of Punk Jews. For the last two years my partner, Evan Kleinman and I have been following a community of Jewish musicians, artists, and activists, who are creating a sexy, new, unconventional culture around their heritage and religion. Originally we were going to produce a full length documentary but along the way we heard so many amazing and moving stories from the likes of fashion designer Levi Okunov, MC Y-Love, mixed-media artist Rivka Karasik, punk band Moshiach Oi!, and author / philosopher Yoseph Leib, that we realized that we couldn't fit them all into a single film – so we want to produce a series of mini documentaries in a blog format where we will be able to bring all of these one of a kind Jewish stories to you every week.
What excites us about Punk Jews are the stories of people owning their heritage, and having fun with it – and doing so at any cost. We want to show you how people are creating a place where honoring who you are and where you come from is not mutually exclusive from free expression and creativity. This isn't some silly irreverent schtick – this is some of the most captivating music, art, fashion, philosophy, and religion you'll find, all in an emerging Jewish movement. We want to share their light, and inspire others around the world to create community, acceptance and inclusiveness around their culture and religion-whatever it may be.
Your money will help an Emmy award winning documentary team produce short videos on PunkJews.com. We will bring you short documentaries about Jewish people creating new culture you won't see anywhere else. The funds will help us edit footage of stories we've had for a year, pay for camera rentals, pay for design and maintenance of our website, and a whole slew of start-up and operating costs. Most importantly, it will get this project to a place where it will be able to have a life of its own and support itself.
If you choose to support our project we've some great gifts for you! From the number one source for modern Jewish music, Shemspeed, we've got concert tickets, Y-Love's album "This is Babylon" and EP's from other amazing Shemspeed recording artists. We've got the Jewish fashion item that is blowing up in the press - the Israeli Keffiyeh – and the funniest Jewish t-shirts from Dveykus.com. Also, we're offering DVD's of Punk Jews season one, a Shabbos dinner like you've never experienced with the Punk Jews crew, and if you want to sponsor the whole thing we'll shoot your wedding, your kids bar mitzvah, or any meaningful event happening in your life that you want documented.
Thank you for your consideration. With your help we hope we can bring these great stories to you and to the world with this new online documentary series.

The Ag Minute: EPA's Proposed Regs Add Up to a Backdoor National Energy Tax
Tamara Hinton (202) 225-0184
WASHINGTON – This week during The Ag Minute, guest host Rep. Phil Roe, discusses proposed regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and how they will negatively impact everyone who lives, works, and farms in rural America. Rep. Roe is a member of the Rural America Solutions Group and recently participated in a forum hosted by the group to examine the unprecedented, overreaching, and burdensome regulations EPA is trying to impose on farmers, ranchers, and small businesses.
Click here to listen to The Ag Minute. The transcript is below.
"Since the Senate will not pass the flawed cap and trade legislation, the administration is taking matters into its own hands, using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as its lead enforcement agency. New regulations planned by the EPA could have detrimental effects on our economy – particularly causing a loss of jobs, impeding economic recovery, and harming livelihoods.
"Recently, I joined other members of the Rural America Solutions Group for a forum to discuss harmful regulations that may be imposed by the Obama administration's EPA and have already been championed by the Democratic leadership in Congress. Included in this forum were seven panelists from across the country who offered perspective and real-life examples on how these regulations could hurt job creation and economic growth. Overwhelmingly, the panelists agreed that EPA's policies are overreaching, burdensome regulations.
"The centerpiece of the EPA's planned regulations is a backdoor national energy tax that will ultimately kill jobs, stop economic growth and raise the cost of energy, food and transportation.
"I am all for clean air, and I believe government should ensure that companies are playing by the rules. But what we don't need is any more ridiculous red tape in the First District and around the country that has not been authorized by Congress and will only harm job growth in our country. We need a federal government that will focus on creating jobs, preventing tax hikes, and getting our economy back on track."
The Ag Minute is Ranking Member Lucas's weekly radio address that is released each Tuesday from the House Agriculture Committee Republicans.

Merrell Women's Chameleon Arc 2 Hiking Shoes
Great shoe but tread doesn't last
This shoe is comfortable needing no wearing in. I have had 2 pairs and they have been great for bush trekking. I use them everyday. The sole however wears down quickly and i only get about 6 months of use before they become too worn.Maybe avoid any hard road surfaces.
October 27, 2011
size way off
I have a pair of chameleon II size 9 that fit me perfectly. Sadly they are worn and so I tried these as replacement. Ordered 9.5 (9's were out of stock)and they were WAY too SMALL! The included insole (9.5) did not fit in the shoe. It was bunched up at the toe. Really disappointed and not sure what to do to replace my old ones. Tried the comparable mids, the size was better (9 fit), but the higher top doesn't fit my ankles -aaargh!!!
August 9, 2011
I would buy this product again.
I use the boots for bush trekking most days. These are my third pair of similar Merrells. The boots are comfortable and true to size. They are lighter weight than my hiking boots and great for off road walking. They are waterproof which is great for wet weather, dewey mornings, water crossings etc. Laces never come undone. Great colour. I wear orthotics inside shoe and they fit well

Rob says in a new interview that Edward is not the bravest vampire in the 'Breaking Dawn' series!
Robert Pattinson loved being in Breaking Dawn, but he has some harsh words about his hunky character Edward Cullen!
Rob, 25, revealed his shocking opinion about his role in Entertainment Weekly.
"Look, there are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a pussy," he says. "I mean, throughout the whole series."
What do you think, HollywodLifers — is Rob hysterical and honest or is he being too harsh?

Phil Hill, the United States first Formula One world champion, has passed away aged 81. Hill, who took the 1961 drivers title with Ferrari, died on Thursday in Californias Salinas-Monterey Hospital of complications from Parkinsons disease.
Born in Santa Monica in 1927, Hill started racing after dropping out of college to become a mechanics helper in Los Angeles. In 1955 he joined Ferraris driver roster at Le Mans, a race he would eventually win three times, and was promoted to a Formula One drive after the deaths of Luigi Musso and Peter Collins in 1958.
Hill took the first of his three Formula One victories in 1960 at Monza. The Italian circuit also saw him crowned champion the following year, but in heartbreaking circumstances, after German team mate Count Wolfgang von Trips was killed during the race.
It was a tragedy from which Hills Formula One career never really recovered and he eventually retired from single-seater racing in 1964, going on to establish a successful car restoration business in his native California.
Paying tribute to Hill, Ferrari's president Luca di Montezemolo commented: "I, as well as all employees of Ferrari are extremely saddened by the news of the passing of Phil Hill, a man and a champion who gave so much to Ferrari and who has always greatly represented the company's values inside and outside the racing track.
Phil and I have always kept in touch throughout the years and I know I will miss his passion and love for Ferrari very much. My deepest sympathies are with his wife Alma and son Derek in this sad moment."

Should we establish some sort of difference in users ie root vs others or root vs. others each with their own space? Since I am a real lamer and install everything as root, I have never really had to investigate the possibility, and I am even unsure on what would be a non-root program. Something like your favorite mp3 player? If it is a user app, where is it installed? Bryan

Tanoshii Youchien ^___^ HEYA!! The following are the scans from the June 2004 issue of Tanoshii Youchien. XD I have nothing really to say about this issue. I just have this REALLY big feeling that a lot of "portions" from the graphics are going to end up on the next Kodansha TV Book. Because if you look back at all the Tanoshii Youchien issues, and compare them with the Kodansha TV Book, its almost the same. |

Minati, Ludovico and Rosazza, Cristina and D'Incerti, Ludovico and Valentini, Laura and Scaioli, Vidmer and Loveday, Catherine and Bruzzone, Maria Grazia (2008) FMRI/ERP of musical syntax: comparison of melodies and unstructured note sequences. NeuroReport, 19 (14). pp. 1381-1385. ISSN 0959-4965

To date, the neural correlates of musical syntax processing have been investigated mainly by means of paradigms in which isolated chords are made incongruent with the harmonic context. Here, we present results obtained contrasting unfamiliar one-part piano melodies with unstructured note sequences, comparable in pitch and rhythm but devoid of any syntactic structure. This paradigm indexes a superset of the cognitive functions involved in processing of harmonic rules. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, differential activation of a bilateral cortical network comprising the inferior frontal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus and premotor cortex was found. Using event-related potentials, the N2 evoked by each note in melodies was found to have longer latency and a more frontal distribution than that evoked in unstructured sequences.
