"Great listen! Holds your attention."
This book is another great Michael Connelly listen that grabs your attention and does not let go. A couple places it started rambling unnecessarily but always came back.
The book has some twist that you are not expecting.
"A decent procedural"
Worth the purchase, interesting protagonist, bustles along at a decent clip. A few interesting insights into the effectiveness of profiling.
"Im a Connelly Fan"
Not an outstanding book but did keep me entertained. Just wish there was a little more to these stories. Something missing
Audio books are just my cup of tea!
"Good Cop story."
Really enjoyed the characters in this book. You really don't know how bad the "bad guy" is until close to the end. (he's really bad!!). Always love Dick Hill's narration.
"Well written"
Michael Connelly is a very good writer and this is another very good book by him. Have never been disappointed by this writer.
"Great mystery; Connelly's best"
I have read a few Michael Connelly novels in the past, and each disappointed me. The plot of Blood Work intrigued me, and I gave this author one more try. I'm glad I did. I enjoyed this book from the start. It has mystery, action, love, and characters I could love and hate. The basic plot is that a retired FBI agent is looking for the killer of the woman who had donated his heart. This story was easy to follow and well paced. The reader was great. Only the ending fell a little short in my estimation. This was a story I did not want to put down. It's one of the best of the crime/mystery genre I have listened to.
"a little dated"
Yes Michael Connelly is a good author and I like his legal thrillers more than the police procedurals
The story has a good and original base narrative - how people respond in an emotional sense to heart transplants
Hill gave a good performance
This title is starting to show its age for a police procedural - the power of internet searches, cracking into hospital data bases etc doesn't seem so scary smart or original these days - although it was at the time of writing. There isn't enough in the character development to carry the book over this hurdle of reliance on the newness ( at the time) of internet technology for a key line of surprise and excitement.
"lovely book"
Great story, you get to love this characters. Great twists and turns... you will never know where the story is going, and you are going to laugh and smile alone each time this happen.
Fritz the assessor
"Blood Work"
this is a rather interesting story that ends somewhat differently than I thought it would.
Say something about yourself!
"Suspense from End to End"
I would place it in the top 5 of the more than 60 audio books I've read.
The discovery of the fingerprints.
I look up books read by Dick Hill before I look for authors.

Northstar Healthcare Q1 Financial Results: 5 Key Takeaways
announced its first quarter financial results. Here are five highlights.
1. Northstar reported net patient service revenue of $12.1 million, up 194.1 percent from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The company reported a total of 1,499 cases performed in the first quarter, up 43.6 percent from the 1,044 cases performed in the first quarter of 2013. "We have exceeded our internal revenue estimated by 8 percent in the first quarter," said Northstar Healthcare CFO Harry Fleming in the report.
2. The company reported $0.4 million in EBITDA, due to the increase in net patient service revenue. Comparatively, the company reported $.05 million in EBITDA in the first quarter of 2013. "With the first quarter being the weakest in our industry due to seasonality, we are extremely satisfied with these results as we have almost tripled revenues over the corresponding first quarter of 2013," said Mr. Fleming in the report.
3. The increase in patient service revenue was offset by a rise in operating and administrative expenses. Northstar invested revenue in growth and diversification, according to the report. In its first quarter, the company launched two new marketing campaigns that are expected to begin yielding results in the second and third quarters of this year.
3. Northstar reported $2.3 million in cash flow provided by operating activities in its first quarter. Cash flow increased $2.2 million from the first quarter of 2013.
5. Northstar reported $7.6 million, including $5.9 million in cash, of consolidated net working capital. In the first quarter of 2013, the company reported $8.7 million, including $5.6 million in cash, of consolidated net working capital. As of March 31, the company owned interest in and managed four ASCs, two imaging centers and one urgent care clinic.

New Salvia Book!
Wonderful new book just published...
"The Plant Lover's Guide to Salvias" by John Whittlesey...ISBN 978-1-60469-419-2
Absolute "MUST-HAVE" for all Salvia lovers.
Beautiful looking book -- it's up-to-date with newer Salvias such as 'Amistad' and my current favorite: Rich's 'Big Swing'. When his Canyon Creek retail nursery was still running I had the pleasure of talking to him on the phone and ordering several Salvias, including 'John Whittlesey' (no, he didn't name it after himself, someone else did :-)), a nice cross between S. darcyi and 'Hot Lips'.
My connection with Big Swing is my recognition that it might make a good salvia introduction, even on the east coast of the USA. Betsy Clebsch and Christian Froissart were admiring it in her garden, and he thought it was a cross of macrophylla with sagittata. I walked over and concurred with Christian.
Later, I got her permission to take a cutting with me, providing I held off a year for Cabrillo to introduce it. I also wanted some time to evaluate it at a few botanical gardens.
It was originally found there, and given to Betsy as a gift. She named it after her home on Skyline Drive.
Oh, thanks for the heads up!
I can never have too many books!
I really like Betsy Clebsch,s "The New Book of Salvias" but there have been so many new introductions in the past few years that 2003's Second edition is quite outdated now!
Heading to Amazon to place my order,
Thanks Robin!

I am looking at this example of JPQL SELECT and it says that you can return a
TypedQuery<Object[]> query = em.createQuery(
"SELECT c.name, c.capital.name FROM Country AS c", Object[].class);
List<Object[]> results = query.getResultList();
for (Object[] result : results) {
System.out.println("Country: " + result[0] + ", Capital: " + result[1]);
Now I am doing this because of this:
Because construction of managed entity objects has some overhead, queries that return non entity objects, as the two queries above, are usually more efficient. Such queries are useful mainly for displaying information efficiently. They are less productive with operations that update or delete entity objects, in which managed entity objects are needed.
Now I have similar Entity, except that entity Capital in entity Country can be NULL. When I want to get the
List<Object[]>, it does not work properly because it cannot access property name from Capital (as I said Capital can be NULL). I want that if the Capital is NULL, the Object[] should then contain NULL value for that property.

Jeffs Suffer 10-8 Loss to Unbeaten Connecticut College
Cole Cherney '12 scored two goals in the loss.
Courtesy of Connecticut College Sports Information
NEW LONDON, CT – The undefeated Connecticut College men's lacrosse team (4-0, 2-0 NESCAC) denied Amherst College (0-3, 0-2) on 16 of its 29 clearing situations Saturday afternoon en route to a 10-8 victory in New London. It was the first time the Lord Jeffs had lost to the Camels since April of 2001.
Connecticut sophomore Mike O'Donnell broke up an entry pass with 1:22 remaining in regulation and the Camels added their 10th goal with only 10 seconds remaining in regultion to seal the victory. The teams each scored four times in the first quarter, twice in the third and once in the fourth, but the hosts out-scored the visitors in the second period, 3-1, in what was the deciding quarter.
Amherst College sophomore Cole Cherney (Chappaqua, NY) and senior Rob Denious (Bloomfield Hills, MI) each scored twice for the visitors, who were victorious in just eight of their 22 face-offs. Alex Fox (Garden City, NY) and Evan Redwood (Lutherville, MD) both had one goal and one assist in the setback for the Lord Jeffs.
Sophomore net-minder Matt Aizpruru (Minneapolis, MN) stopped 12 shots in the loss for Amherst.
The Camels stoned the Lord Jeffs on their first six clearing chances and opened up a 4-1 lead in the first quarter after John Lyons put in his second score of the day with 3:12 remaining. Amherst rallied with three scoring strikes over the closing 1:36 to pull even. Junior Parker Holcomb (Dallas, TX) scored the equalizer with 32 seconds remaining, winning the face-off and sprinting straight to the cage for the tying goal.
Cherney put Amherst on top 5-4 just 38 seconds into the second quarter with his second score. The Camels countered with the final three goals of the half, two of them coming off the stick of Eric Doran. With 15 seconds remaining, Ryan Hayes connected with Doran just outside the crease for a goal that vaulted the hosts out to a 7-5 advantage at the break.
Mark Mangano tallied 46 seconds into the third quarter to make it an 8-5 game. With 3:53 remaining, Mike Giambanco scored on a feed from Lyons and the Camels enjoyed their largest lead with a 9-5 advantage on the scoreboard.
Undeterred, Amherst rallied by scoring the next three goals, pulling to within one on a score from Denious with 14:11 remaining. The Lord Jeffs had two huge scoring chances down the stretch. With 5:23 to go, sophomore John Lenehan denied Brian McFeeley (Essex Fells, NJ) on a nifty looking turnaround shot to make the save. With 4:30 to go, Cherney drove to the left side of the cage but Lenehan was able to cut down the angle and make the stop to thwart the scoring bid. Doran added his third goal with 10 seconds left and the Camels were able to hold on for the 10-8 victory.
Doran paced the Camels on the offensive side of the ball with a team-high three goals in the victory. Lyons chipped in with two goals and an assist. O'Donnell finished with four ground balls and was swarming around the ball all afternoon. Senior defender Will Schumann also had four ground balls and Chuck Czerkawski won 11-of-16 face-offs for the Camels. Lenehan made 12 saves in 45:28 of relief duty for Connecticut College.
The Lord Jeffs will return to action Tuesday, Mar. 23, when they travel to Mount Ida for a 4 p.m. non-conference game.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

LinuxCon Day 3: Now Get Out There and Do Something!
At the end of a conference, most people have two feelings. The first is a feeling of wanting to get out there and do something. After last year's LinuxCon, especially after listening to Noah Broadwater of Sesame Workshop, I wanted to go back to my office, take a chainsaw to my IIS installations, and tear out my Sharepoint system. But I am pretty sure that feeling is felt by many of us on a daily basis without attending LinuxCon.
What was so exciting about Sesame Workshop's presentation was, with a very small staff and even less money, they managed to create a web experience that not only reduced cost but had an average eyeball time of 27 minutes. There are sites that would give everything for 27 seconds, and here is a children-focused site with 27 minutes, primarily on Open Source software.
But, as exciting as that is, imagine you are the CIO of a new airline and are responsible for not only the web presence that includes ticketing and check-in for flights, but also in-flight entertainment. Oh, and you have a staff of 28. That was the mission of Ravi Simhambhatia of Virgin America and as you can imagine it was not an easy mission, especially when there was already an entrenched structure in place. But he took a different tack from what most would expect and rather than focus on the cost savings related to the operating system, he sold management on the reliability aspects of Open Source as well as the ability to rapidly develop solutions and improve the customer experience. And as we learned on Day 2, the bulk of the costs of any software is in the management, not the operating system. His focus was on low maintenance costs and low overhead and the ability to build fire and forget solutions that just worked. And that is exciting, especially when it is the CIO that is telling you this.
Perhaps running efficient ticketing and in-flight entertainment systems are not what gets you excited. Maybe Stormy Peters' —Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation— call to arms will. Most of us are familiar with Richard Stallman's rally cry of Free as in Freedom, not Free Beer, but how many of us pay attention to the various web services we use? In this case, I am not talking about SOAP or XML, but those services we use everyday like Gmail, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook. As Stormy points out, many of these services may be free as in free beer, but not so much so when it comes to freedom and in fact, most are as proprietary as any software we complain about coming out of Redmond or other companies in the Axis of Evil (to borrow a phrase).
In her keynote, she highlighted issues like what would you do if you lose access to your data on these systems? Or who can use your photos? Do they even need your permission? One popular social site has default settings that allow them to scoop up your information and resell it without so much as a by your leave. When it comes to these services, many of us do not pay any attention because of the convenience and because of the cost and that needs to change because right now they are giving us the free beer, and we are drinking deeply, while ignoring the hidden costs.
At the end of LinuxCon 2010, most of us left with two feelings. First, the feeling of wanting to get out there and do something. And the second? In the immortal words of Gary Larson, Teacher, can I be excused, my brain is full.
See you next year!

I agree
Having flushed all but one Windows server (and it's tied to a piece of specialized hardware) from my network, and only having four Windows desktops left I can say the grass is truly greener on this side.
Now our entire operation runs on a PHP workflow app and other software that we wrote ourselves as the need arose. We took what I call the Lego approach - tie various open source apps together with a bit of PHP and MySQL glue.
We run 22 physical servers and 12 virtual servers. We are managing 4TB of data that grows 12+GB every day, with occasional huge spikes of 500+GB - and it's a breeze. Not to mention all the Linux desktops.
Resource and more resource...
...all that proprietary software want!
want to "performance" add resources bit it processors, memory, storage, bandwidth.
Companies like Microsoft, IBM, HP, Oracle are not optimizing their software at all! with inorganic growth a trend in the industry all these years. What these companies are interested when they get access to the source code change the Brand name, images (gif,jpeg,png whatever it is) and rebuild the software.
The entry level requirement for the software has risen dramatically, cause cost of hardware has decreased substantially! but baseline remains the same. You system is still slow! cause software you running taking up all the available resources and still wants more!
Thanks to mobile devices like Phones, Tablets I think companies will "think" about optimizing the software now! (how, I wish companies do same i.e. optimize software for PC, Servers etc.)
Now, now
"[...] I wanted to go back to my office, take a chainsaw to my IIS installations, and tear out my Sharepoint system."
Easy there, pardner. I'm told it's not exactly de rigueur to bash our esteemed M$ competition quite so openly...
You know...
When I came back from Window Connections, I kind of felt the same way, but that was more a case of the poor way we implemented it. There is something therapeutic in wanting to take a chainsaw to servers though. :)

Chainsaws in the server room!
Unless you have a carbide chain, and they cost beaucoup bucks, you probably won't get through more than one server. I'm a 911 dispatcher, and our radios are in the server room. The radio guy says if there is a fire in the server room, make sure to put it out with a soda acid fire extinguisher...

Radios in the Server Room
You are using software defined radios?!
OK, just kidding, and yes, if you do not have Halon any more, then you should use the soda acid fire extinguisher. Or do what I do, take them out to the airport burn pit and let them practice foaming them!
Now, where did I put that C-4?
David Lane, KG4GIY is a member of Linux Journal's Editorial Advisory Panel and the Control Op for Linux Journal's Virtual Ham Shack
Radios in the server room
If we had software defined radios, we would communicate using signal flags from the station roof. We are the smallest county in Montana, and all of our electronics are in one room. It helps that our repeater is on Red Mountain, at better than 10,000 feet. Quite honestly, I don't think that there is any sort of automatic fire protection in that server room. At least the fire alarms work now, after about 6 years of ignoring them, because they were mis-installed...
Now, as for that C-4

Although, in the spirit of full disclosure
I really *really* don't like Micro$oft: I find their product, their business model, their embrace and absorb modus operandi quite distasteful.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is an on-rails sniper experience with a reasonable amount of depth
There are precisely two games that revolve solely around a Sniper experience: the first is Rebellion Oxford and 505 Games' Sniper Elite V2 and the other, is City Interactive' s latest, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2. This basically means that you're not left with much of a choice. If you're in the market for a sniper game, the only decision you need to make has to do with era — prefer sniping Nazis with bone-crunching precision, and you're going to have to settle for the former, but if long range duck hunts set in modern times are your cup of tea, Ghost Warrior is the way to go. So without further ado, let's set up our .50 cal and pick off targets from several klicks away, shall we?
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 has been described as "the only multi-platform first-person modern shooter, exclusively designed around the sniper experience" and as far as I can tell, this is the case. There are brief sections where you're forced to pull out your trusty sidearm (and occasionally, your combat knife) but you will find yourself using your highly mobile silenced Remington MSR through most of the campaign, and when engaging foes at a long distance during the game's various set pieces, you get to look through the scope of one of several high caliber sniper rifles, including the Barrett X500, DSR-50, Accuracy International Arctic Warfare 50 as well as the ubiquitous Soviet-era sniper rifle, the Izhmash SVD-Dragunov (which can be scavenged from downed enemy snipers). There's a nice collection of weapons in the game, and it does feel that the developers have put some effort into modelling each gun so they look, feel and sound like their real-life counterparts. This game is so true to its philosophy that despite the presence of other firearms (such as assault rifles, mounted machine guns and launchers, none are usable by the player — they can't even be picked up. For the Call of Duty faithful, this can almost seem sacrilegious, but it's clear that the developers want you to snipe most of the time (given the title and all).
If you're making a sniping game about snipers, then there had better be some sniper-specific gameplay features. Fortunately, there are a couple of them worth noting. A heartbeat metre tells you if generically named protagonist Cole Anderson is calm or tense — often the difference between life or death. A calm Cole is deadly accurate — his weapon sways less and he's able to pick off enemies with deadly precision. A high heart-rate can often spell doom — Cole's aim (and yours, as a result) is all over the place, and he's pretty much performing the act of "spraying and praying", which is all right if you're shooting an SMG in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, but not acceptable with a Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2's jungles. The heartbeat system is greatly complemented by a realistic ballistics engine. Sniper rounds drop over distance, and are affected by wind — an in-game assist is available, pinpointing the exact impact point of a bullet but can be disabled for an extra challenge. This means that you'll have to spend some time in the game's firing range to master the art of compensating for wind over longer distances and multiple zoom levels. In summary, the game's sniper-specific features add enough depth to distinguish it from the Call of Duties of this world.
It's obvious that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 wasn't made on the sort of budgets that other triple-A shooters are, and this is apparent in the lack of polish, questionable writing and some strange level design (checkpoints are very poorly placed, heavily scripted set pieces, AI, environment is not very traversable). But, on the other hand, it can look very un-budget-title-like on occasion when it takes you to its distinct locales — the jungles of the Philippines, war torn urban jungles of Sarajevo and Tibet (the game is powered by Crytek's CryEngine 3). But if polish and price aren't a concern, and you're looking for an on-rails sniper experience with a reasonable amount of depth, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 might be the game for you. The game is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
