Parisian Fruit Tart
|For pastry
|10 Ounce
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|3 Ounce, cut into walnut sized pieces
|Vegetable fat
|2 Ounce
|Castor sugar
|5 Ounce
|1 1⁄2 Ounce, finely chopped
|Egg yolks
|2 , lightly beaten
|Iced water
|3 Tablespoon
|Egg white
|1 , lightly beaten
|For filling
|2 Ounce
|5 Fluid Ounce
|Peaches/Apple / pear
|4 Large, peeled, halved and cored
|Double cream
|5 Fluid Ounce, stiffly whipped
|Chopped walnuts
|2 Tablespoon
First make the pastry.
Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter and the vegetable fat and cut them into small pieces with a table knife.
Rub the fats into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Mix in 4 ounces [1/2 cup] of the sugar and the finely chopped walnuts.
Add the egg yolks with a spoonful of the water and mix it in with the knife.
With your hands, mix and knead the dough until it is smooth.
Add more water if the dough is too dry.
Wrap the dough in greaseproof or waxed paper and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile make the filling.
In a medium sized saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat, stirring constantly.
When the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to high and boil the syrup for 4 minutes.
Add the fruit halves, reduce the heat to low and simmer the fruit halves for 10 to 15 minutes or until they are tender but still firm.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to fairly hot 375°F (Gas Mark 5, 190°C).
On a lightly floured board, roll out two thirds of the dough into a circle large enough to line a 9 inch flan ring.
Lift the dough on the rolling pin and lay it over the flan ring.
Gently ease the dough into the ring.
Trim off any excess.
With a slotted spoon, remove the fruit from the pan.
Arrange the fruit halves in a circle and cut sides down, in the dough case.
Dampen the edges of the dough.
On a lightly floured board, roll out the remaining dough into a circle large enough to fit over the top of the tart.
Using a 3 inch pastry cutter, cut a hole in the centre of the dough circle.
Discard the small circle of dough.
Lift the dough on the rolling pin and lay it over the tart.
Using your fingers, gently press the dough edges together.
Trim off any excess dough.
With a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with the egg white and dust with the remaining 2 tablespoons of castor sugar.
Place the tart in the top of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pastry is firm to the touch.
Remove the tart from the oven and set it aside to cool completely.
When it is cold, carefully remove the tart from the flan ring.
Spoon the whipped cream into the centre of the tart and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.

BBDO Worldwide Acquires Additional 29% Ownership in Gitam/BBDO; Global Agency Now Owns 49% of Israel's Largest Agency
This marks another stop in BBDO's activities in Israel, following December 1994 when BBDO purchased a 20 percent stake in the Israeli agency and became the first international advertising group to invest in an Israeli agency.
"Over the last few years, Gitam/BBDO has accomplished professional and creative achievements that position them in line with the world's leading advertising agencies. This is equally true in public relations through Gitam Porter Novelli," said Allen Rosenshine, BBDO Worldwide Chairman and CEO. "The globalization process creates unique professional opportunities in the field of marketing and advertising. And Gitam/BBDO's business performance during the last three years proves that this is an exceptionally beneficial partnership for both our global and Israeli clients."
"Today symbolizes another significant development for the Israeli advertising industry," said Moshe Theumim, Chairman and CEO of Gitam/BBDO and Gitam Potter Novelli. "We account much of our professional success in recent years to our being part of BBDO, which has won more international awards over the last eight years than any other advertising agency in the world: Cannes Festival, London International Advertising Festival, Andy Award, Clio Award, and this year, the agency was given the title of the most creative agency in the world by industry magazine, Advertising Age International. BBD0, which has won similar titles in Europe, Australia and other parts of the world, has taken the lead in professional and creative standards in the advertising industry. And we, as the Israeli representative, are committed to keeping these standards."
Gitam/BBDO, which was established in 1979, is the largest advertising agency in Israel, and includes Israel's leading public relations agency, Gitam Porter Novelli and Gitam Advertising in South Africa.
Gitam/BBDO is the first IMC (Integrated Marketing Communications) agency in Israel and offers its clients consultancy services, marketing and communications strategies, research, advertising and public relations.
Gitam/BBDO's clients include: C.A.L-VISA; Dentalon (Oral-B); Hypercol/Supercol Supermarkets; Keler Plastic; Maccabi Beer; Pizza Hut; Tempo- Pepsi; Tnuva Dairy Products and Wm. Wrigley, Jr., as well as the Israel Bank Association; Israel Cancer Association; Israel Hotel Association; Israel Medical Association and the United Jewish Appeal.
BBDO Worldwide, with billings in excess of $8.4 billion in 1996, ranks as the fourth largest global agency brand with 245 offices in 72 countries. The agency was honored at the 1997 Cannes International Advertising Festival as "Worldwide Agency of the Year," the first U.S. headquartered agency to receive the honor. BBDO is owned by Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC).

When TV inspires–and aspires
Many of the images we see on TV don't provide good examples for us to emulate, as they are calculated to appeal to our baser instincts and the "least common denominator" in viewers' interests.
Once in a rare while, however, the medium gifts us with inspiring role models of individuals who rise above extreme personal limitations or difficult circumstances, and make something of themselves despite those limitations, which would make most people simply give up the fight.
This past month, those inspiring examples were provided by the following TV features: On the finals of the talent competition, "So You Think You Can Dance," a guest performer from China blew viewers away with his unique dance number: He was a teenage boy with only one leg, and yet, with the help of two canes, he put on quite a dexterous show, despite his major disability. The icing on the cake: His performance wasn't only inspiring, but also technically superlative—and beautiful!
Interestingly, just a few days before on "Pilipinas Got Talent," a local dance group featured another young dancer who was a paraplegic, with two legs that he couldn't stand on, let alone dance with.
And yet, because he had built up his upper body strength to such an amazing degree, he was able to execute head stands and other difficult physical feats that his fellow dancers wove into their group's hip-hop and acrobatic-dancing choreography, for maximum effect.
Coincidentally, only a few days after we watched the "Pilipinas Got Talent" show, a third TV feature about Kevin Michael Connolly, an even more physically disabled man, was telecast on a US TV program. He was born without legs, yet he moved around quite briskly—on a skateboard!
Even more impressively, he had his own TV reality-challenge show, titled "Armed & Ready," that required him to perform amazing feats of strength and gumption, like pulling himself up a precipice, etc.
The TV show has inspired many other people not to be limited by their physical disability. It has similarly motivated people with no disability to further develop their own skills and talents.
After all, if people with physical limitations can live fuller lives, "able" individuals have no excuse to let other problems, like psychological inhibitions, pull them down!
Finally, still in keeping with this piece's theme related to rising above one's disabilities, we are happy to hear that a film is being made on the inspiring life of a Filipino woman without arms who, among other achievements, has learned how to fly a plane! Make a mental note to watch the inspiring drama when it's shown later this year.
We're grateful to the people involved in the productions we've cited, because they go way beyond the TV-film scene's standard "popcorn" mentality, and use their shows not just to divert but also to inspire—and
We don't expect everybody to do this, since the piper must be paid. But, when it happens, our faith in the strengths and worth of the TV medium is renewed and restored.
The acts of courage and determination may be small, but when the TV cameras focus on them and transmit their images to many viewers' homes, their ability to provide persuasive role models acquires powerful, cumulative force!

Itzhak Perlman and Chicago Symphony Orchestra Join Rotary's Effort to End Polio Now
Virtuoso violinist who survived polio as a child will perform in special benefit concert to protect the world's children
CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Rotary International joins violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and members of the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor James DePreist, to present the Concert to End Polio, a benefit performance supporting the global effort to eradicate this disabling childhood disease.
The Concert to End Polio will take place on Monday, March 7, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. at Chicago's Symphony Center.
Polio eradication resonates strongly with Mr. Perlman, who contracted the disease at age four and overcame serious physical challenges to become one of the world's most celebrated musicians. Mr. DePreist is also a polio survivor.
In this historic, one-night-only performance, Mr. Perlman and Mr. DePreist will help Rotary in its effort to raise $200 million to match a $355 million challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. All of the resulting $555 million will fund critical eradication activities in developing countries where polio still threatens children.
"We are honored that Mr. Perlman will again join Rotary, along with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, to support our effort to achieve a polio-free world," said The Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar. "The participation of Mr. Perlman and Mr. DePreist demonstrates the importance of this unprecedented global health initiative. A world without polio will be our lasting gift to humanity."
"The fact that polio is still around is ridiculous," said Mr. Perlman, winner of 15 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. "There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to get polio. This is an issue that has to be dealt with immediately."
Complete program details follow:
Chicago Symphony Orchestra members
James DePreist, conductor
Itzhak Perlman, violin
Berlioz The Corsair Overture, Op. 21
Stravinsky Suite from The Firebird (1919 Revision)
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64
Kreisler Liebesfreud
Tickets: $50-$200. A private reception ($150) with Mr. Perlman will follow the concert. All proceeds will benefit Rotary's End Polio Now campaign.
Tickets may be purchased online at cso.org or by calling (212) 875-5656, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Tickets can be purchased by calling CSO ticketing services at 312-294-3000 or 800-223-7114, online at cso.org, or by visiting the Symphony Center box office at 220 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60604.
Rotary International, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. Since then, ending polio has been Rotary's top priority, and tremendous progress has been made. The wild poliovirus now remains endemic in only four countries: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Worldwide, the number of polio cases has been slashed by more than 99 percent, preventing five million cases of childhood paralysis and 250,000 deaths. However, the final one percent of cases is the most difficult and expensive to prevent, which is why support for Rotary's End Polio Now campaign is crucial to the initiative's success.
A musical force in Chicago and around the world, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been consistently hailed as one of the finest international orchestras since its founding in 1891. In collaboration with renowned conductors and guest artists on the international music scene, the CSO performs well over 150 concerts each year at its home, Symphony Center, and in summer residency at the Ravinia Festival. Bank of America is the global sponsor of the CSO. For more information about the CSO, visit cso.org.

29 October 2013 09:49 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Saudi Arabia's Farabi Petrochemical Co plans to shut down its 150,000 tonne/year linear alkylbenzene (LAB) plant on 1 November for scheduled maintenance, a source close to the company said on Tuesday.
The plant, which is located in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, will be shut for two weeks, the source added.
"There will be no disruptions in supply to regular customers," the source said.
Demand for LAB is stable in the key detergents sector in Saudi Arabia, market sources said.
Earlier this month the company awarded a contract for a concept study of its planned Jazan project in Saudi Arabia to petrochemicals engineering firm Foster Wheeler.

Do we really need term limit legislation?
Term limits – good or bad? They're good if you like keeping folks in elected office that do a good job. They're bad if you believe fresh blood and fresh ideas are needed. Editor Don Whitten notes that term limits can be set without legislation – by voters going to the ballot box and limiting terms of those they want out of office but yet leaving in those they want to keep. (October 22, 2010, Page 4A)
Supporting a tradition of educational excellence
With schools in the area, state, region and country reporting problems, there's no question that the local Oxford School District is on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Sarasota, Florida -- Ninfa Del Purgatorio enjoys her daily walks but knows her seasonal allergies can trigger an asthma attack at any time.
Ninfa always has her inhaler within reach; one of several medicines to help maintain and prevent an asthma attack. When she has an asthma attack Ninfa says, "I feel a tightness in my chest."
Pulmonary Medicine Specialist Dr. Joseph Seaman at Sarasota Memorial Hospital offers a new medical treatment approved by the FDA called Bronchial Thermoplasty to help severe asthma patients breath easier.
Gross: Expert explains why roaches and restaurants don't mix
Dr. Seaman says, "Those are generally folks who have symptoms several times a week and several times a year have flare ups that require them to go to the hospital."
Using a bronco-scope the procedure is minimally invasive and makes for a quick recovery. Inside the bronco-scope is a catheter.
There is a new FDA-approved asthma treatment avalable for severe asthmatics.
"A small catheter is inserted into the lung and a small amount of heat energy is applied to the bronchial tube so that the asthma reaction is reduced by reducing the amount smooth muscle in the airwave wall," says Dr. Seaman.

The heat energy is about the same temperature as a hot cop of coffee, according to Seaman. Patients undergo three treatments every three weeks as an outpatient procedure.
"This procedure has shown to reduce the number of episode of flare ups, ER visits, urgent Doctor's visits or missing work have having to stay home," says Seaman.

Results are backed up by a 5 year study.
"This does not cure asthma. The intent of the therapy is to improve one's asthma control so you have an improved quality of life," say Seaman.
Ninfa says, "I think it can change a lot of people's lives with asthma. It's a wonderful thing."

The 2009-10 annual plan for Meghalaya was on Thursday finalised at Rs. 2,100 crore in a meeting here between Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Meghalaya Chief Minister D.D. Lapang.
Initiating the discussions, Mr. Ahluwalia lauded the government's efforts to improve the social and physical infrastructure in the State and stressed on encouraging public-private partnership in infrastructure to accelerate the pace of development.
While appreciating the State's initiatives in promoting floriculture and horticulture, he pointed out that development of the road network was necessary for accelerating economic activities and providing health cover to the people.
The Planning Commission, Mr. Ahluwalia said, was working on mid-term review of the 11th Plan, and would hold discussions at the regional level soon. In this regard, he pointed out that the State government should not only flag areas of concern, but also highlight initiatives for improving the pace of implementation of programmes during the remaining Plan period.
Briefing the Commission on his government's initiatives and programmes, Dr. Lapang noted that there was substantial improvement in social sector indices, and pointed out that sectors such as health and education had shown remarkable improvement.
He pointed out that while initiatives were taken in the health sector in partnership with private entities, efforts were also being made to improve road network. As for the current fiscal, the Chief Minister said transport would receive top priority, social services and energy would also get more than 20 per cent of the budget outlay.

Frugal DNA

My Story: Frugal Myths
7 Habits of Highly Frugal People
If you hang around with frugal friends and are willing to admit it, you'll probably notice that there appears to be no one way to live a Dollar Stretcher lifestyle. There are, however, several similar "genes" that most zealous frugalites carry. Here are a few we've observed.
- Lifestyle Gene - Frugality isn't "belt tightening" during a crisis; it's not a fad or temporary thing. It's a lifestyle, usually born out of necessity, but continued because it is fulfilling and "we just couldn't imagine living any other way."
- No-Fad Gene - Most economizers avoid trendy toys, decor or fashion for two reasons. First, they consider the cost. The newest stuff is usually the most expensive. If you wait a while, you'll find it in the thrift stores for pennies on the dollar. Secondly, we tend to be independent sorts, not caring much what others think. We wear what we like and usually buy standard or classic fashions. If we need something dressy, we'll hit the consignment store or thrift shop. Steve recently picked up a Yves Saint Laurent suit in perfect condition for $12 and an Eddie Bauer sweater for $7. Annette found a Jones of New York two-piece suit for $15. Whew, what great deals!
- Brand-Disloyalty Gene - In most cases, brands don't matter. Whether it's clothing or food, most tightwads know the names they'll avoid, but their bottom line is to be fashionable or well fed, while still being frugal.
- Non-Materialistic Gene - Less is more. Most frugal-minded people realize that stuff costs money to buy, money to maintain and money to replace. When we have a need, we'll try to make do with what we have, substitute with something that will work, or borrow from a friend before plunking down our hard-earned cash. Our property originally had 70 trees on it. Now there are quite a few less. Before we purchased our own chain saw, we borrowed one from a friend. After borrowing it a few times, we realized we needed to purchase our own tool. Most consumers would immediately run out and purchase something to meet an immediate need before determining if it was really a necessity. Not so with Dollar Stretchers.
- Worn-Out Genes - We wear things out. We'll sew, tape, glue or screw things together to keep them serviceable. As a last resort, we'll replace a broken whatchamacallit, with a used one, if possible. Clothes are handed down from one kid to the next. Toys face the same fate. When we get rid of something, you can be assured it has lived a long, useful life and probably won't be accepted by any self-respecting thrift store or dumpster diver.
If you feel as if your gene pool has been diluted, don't despair; just hang out with some Dollar Stretching friends. Frugal DNA is contagious. Pretty soon, you'll be viewing life as a game, and you'll be playing to win. There's only one rule to remember: Get the best price for the highest quality. Oh, wait! There's one more rule: When you do find a "killer deal," make sure to tell a friend, but only if there's enough to go around.

Peyton Manning, Alex Smith both end up in right places - 0 Comments
No extra "evaluating" necessary:
Peyton Manning and Alex Smith both ended up in the right places for the 2012 season, if a few flashes and flips during Sunday's game in Denver were any measure.
Of course, it's about much more than what happened in the 49ers' 29-24 exhibition victory, since nothing in these games (other than health) matters all too much.
It's about those two former No. 1 overall picks, their styles, their personalities, and the entire construction of these two good franchises.

3 tied to coal ship detained in Virginia indicted
Friday - 5/24/2013, 10:41am EDT
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- A federal grand jury has indicted the owner, operator and chief engineer of a Maltese-flagged coal ship that has been detained in Virginia since April over alleged environmental violations.
The Virginian-Pilot reported (http://bit.ly/Zig5nz ) Friday that the indictment names Malta-based owner Angelex Ltd, Liberian operator Kassian Maritime Navigation Agency Ltd. and the ship's chief engineer, Lamros Katsipis.
The charges include conspiracy, falsification of records and obstruction of justice.
The owner has battled the U.S. Coast Guard in court since the ship and its crew were detained. A federal judge in Norfolk ordered the ship freed for a $1.5 million bond -- half of what the Coast Guard originally demanded. The Coast Guard has appealed.
Oral arguments are scheduled for June 25 in Lewisburg, W.Va.
Katsipis' attorney says he denies the charges.

What's life really like behind the bright smiles, perfect uniforms and five-star hotel stays of jet-setting flight attendants? In a three-part series on the inflight service industry, Yahoo! Singapore finds out that it's not all that it's cracked up to be. In the first part of this series, we explain how the initial attraction and glamour attached to the job can be quickly replaced by travel fatigue and loneliness. (For the purposes of this series, only first names have been used as most flight crew are bound by confidentiality agreements)
A glamorous life in the skies, jet-setting to exotic cities like Tokyo, London and Paris -- and being paid (very well) to do it.
To many, the perfectly coiffed and immaculate airline crew have it all – striding confidently and elegantly through international airports and being able to picnic at the Eiffel Tower one week and then be on safari in South Africa the next, all the while staying in five-star luxury hotels.
But ask the flight stewards and stewardesses themselves and you get a very different picture.
"Supermodels in uniform? Most of the time, we feel like waitresses – just further above ground," scoffs a senior stewardess Vanessa K, 34, who flies with a well-known Hong Kong carrier.
She isn't the only flight crew to feel this way. All 15 air stewards and stewardesses from various airlines Yahoo! Singapore spoke to expressed similar sentiments: that when the novelty of flying wears thin and the trips get longer, the shiny veneer of glamour and excitement disappears quickly to be replaced with loneliness and homesickness.
Add to that the recent allowance and hiring cutbacks facing the airline industry due to stiff competition from budget carriers and an increasing number of flight crew are ditching their jobs to find stability back home and on land.
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Filipino and Vietnamese troops played football and tug-of-war to foster camaraderie on a Philippine-held island in the South China Sea, where territorial rifts have escalated as China builds up islands there. …

Del Rio Vineyards
Del Rio Vineyards, Oregon:
Every once in a while, a set of samples shows up that pikes my interest. I had been familiar with Del Rio Vineyard's Syrah production through a local winery here in the East Bay Stage Left Cellars and their "Scenic Route" wine is produced from grapes that are sourced from Del Rio Vineyards. More on Stage Left at a later date, but it was fun to get in touch with the winery growing the grapes for the first time.
Del Rio Vineyards sent 6 bottles of wine for us to try and I came away impressed with a few of the offerings.
Let's start with some of the basics, Del Rio is one of the larger wineries in Southern Oregon, making about 20,000 cases per year (about a quarter of which is actually exported to Asia). Throw them into the Russian River Valley and that's pretty average, so it's not like we're talking about huge production levels here. What we are talking about is a vineyard which is large enough to plant and grow a wide variety of grapes. That variety has led to an interesting and in my opinion, eclectic assortment of wine available. They have approximately 200,000 vines growing on the property, so there's space to experiment with growing locations, clones and yes, even grape types.
Del Rio Vineyards is historically significant and not just in terms of the rise of Oregon wine over the past two decades, but with the history of Oregon itself. The winery's tasting room is situated in the former Rock Point Stage Hotel which dates to 1853. The property itself spent many years as a fruit grove, before current ownership began planting vines after their purchase in the late 1990's.
Situated in the Rogue Valley, which itself is the furthest southwestern portion of the state and seperated from the Pacific Ocean by the Cascade Mountain range, the Rogue Valley is perhaps the warmest growing region in Oregon. For our purposes, that leads to different wine than you might be accustomed to from the state. These are wines more consistent with international versions rather than the mineral and lighter styled wines which we so often associate with Oregon's wine industry. That climate has driven some of the choices at Del Rio Vineyards, including their production focus on Syrah and even a Claret.
I found the Syrah to be both interesting as well as intense. It's a good look into what's possible in the warmer climates in Oregon. Wine Club members can expect to see something along these lines in the coming months.
The most interesting wine though, was the one I was least looking forward to tasting. I'll be honest here. My wife and I both love Champagne and other sparkling wines. We both generally dislike Rose. Enter the Rose Jolee, which is a slighly sweet, sparkling Rose that literally bursts with Mango and honey flavors. It's been called a great summer wine, which seems like an apt description, but beyond that it's another good example of how the American wine industry continues to benefit from lax regulations in terms of both planting and production. This isn't a standard wine by any sense of the word, but it's a memorable one. How sad if anyone would try and precent wineries like Del Rio Vineyards from experimenting with their vines, plantings and winemaking styles.

ANNOUNCING! The 2012 Data Virtualization Architect-to-Architect & Business Value Program
Today, agility and timely visibility are critical to the business. No wonder CIO.com, states that business intelligence (BI) will be the top technology priority for CIOs in 2012. However, is your data architecture agile enough to handle these exacting demands?
In his blog Top 10 Business Intelligence Predictions For 2012, Boris Evelson of Forrester Research, Inc., states that traditional BI approaches often fall short for the two following reasons (among many others):
- BI hasn't fully empowered information workers, who still largely depend on IT
- BI platforms, tools and applications aren't agile enough (more…)
What it Takes to Be a Leader in Data Virtualization!
If you haven't already, I think you should read The Forrester Wave™: Data Virtualization, Q1 2012. For several reasons – one, to truly understand the space, and two, to understand the critical capabilities required to be a solution that solves real data integration problems.
At the very outset, let's clearly define Data Virtualization. Simply put, Data Virtualization is foundational to Data Integration. It enables fast and direct access to the critical data and reports that the business needs and trusts. It is not to be confused with simple, traditional Data Federation. Instead, think of it as a superset which must complement existing data architectures to support BI agility, MDM and SOA. (more…)
Dodd-Frank Legislation and Structured Data Retention
The "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" has recently been passed by the US federal government to regulate financial institutions. Per this legislation, there will be more "watchdog" agencies that will be auditing banks, lending and investment institutions to ensure compliance. As an example, there will be an Office of Financial Research within the Federal Treasury responsible for collecting and analyzing data. This legislation brings with it a higher risk of fines for non-compliance. (more…)
Don't Forget The Legacy Applications After Data Center Consolidation
As part of their cost cutting program, organizations are consolidating data centers and the applications within them. Federal and state agencies in the public sector are among those where IT consolidation and moving applications to the cloud are top priorities as part of an overall goal to increase efficiencies and eliminate costs. In other industries, many consolidations are also under way due to mergers and acquisitions and other cost cutting initiatives. As you plan or undergo a consolidation project, you also need to plan for the retirement of legacy, redundant applications that are left behind.
Realizing The Cost Savings From Healthcare Reforms With Legacy Application Retirement
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided the healthcare industry incentives for the adoption and modernization of point-of-care computing solutions including electronic medical and health records (EMRs/EHRs). This modernization effort is leaving legacy applications behind, which are no longer of high value, but is costing the organization a lot of money. These legacy applications are kept around because the data needs to be retained for compliance and accessibility to the data needs to be maintained. This is a very expensive proposition for most organizations. (more…)
Post Merger Integration Recipe for Success in Financial Services
I recently read an article written by Ann All titled "Simple Concepts Key to Complex Integration Projects" which discussed some of the hasty mergers and acquisitions since the financial crisis. It also discussed some of the recent successes at Wells Fargo and their integration of Wachovia contributed to having business involved in the integration strategy, keeping it simple, acknowledging IT's emotions and insecurities, and having key metrics to monitor progress. Industry consolidation is on the rise globally as companies seek to expand market share, enter new markets, and grow their customer base through mergers and acquisitions. Take a look at what the experts are saying. (more…)

Ateneo, AdU try to boost semis drive
Unbeaten Ateneo and Adamson look to move closer to the semifinals of the Shakey's V-League Season 10 First Conference when they tangle with separate rivals at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Fresh from an 11-day break, Ateneo faces Arellano at 4 p.m. with the Lady Eagles hoping to assure themselves of at least a playoff for a berth in the Final Four.
Adamson, riding high on a three-game winning run to end the elimination-round, battles San Sebastian at 2 p.m. at the start of the quarterfinals.
As the No. 1 teams after the single round elimination round, the Lady Eagles and the Bulldogs find themselves grouped in one side along with the No. 3 squads (Arellano and La Salle-Dasmariñas) with the Nos. 2 and 4 teams (UST, Adamson, San Sebastian and Perpetual) making up the other group.
The Last 8 is a compact four-playdate phase with the top two in each side advancing to the crossover best-of-three semifinals.
They still need to win at least one of their two assignments in the quarterfinals to secure a playoff for a semifinal spot.
Adamson can take encouragement at the fact that San Sebastian hasn't been as fearsome as the field had expected in the first round. The Lady Stags have been getting the usual production from Thai import Jeng Bualee, but the support has been left wanting in the first four games.
Bualee tallied the most points in the league with 105 in the first four games.
The Lady Falcons, on the other hand, have been relying on the superb forms of Angela Benting and Pau Soriano, the league's most efficient attacker with a 53 percent success rate.
The Lady Eagles have not played since their straight-set victory over La Salle-Dasmarinas last April 21. The win completed an elimination-round sweep for the Lady Eagles, who are seeking a third straight title.

In this context, the name Lion starts to take on darker connotations. At the very least, it seems like the end of the big cat branding—after all, where can you go after Lion? Is this process of taking the best from iOS and bringing it back to the Mac platform just the first phase of a complete assimilation? Is Lion the end of the line for Mac OS X
Lion is a large download and fast network connections are still not ubiquitous. But new Macs will come with Lion, so the most relevant question is, how many people who plan to upgrade an existing Mac to Lion don't have a fast network connection? The class of people who perform OS upgrades probably has a higher penetration of high-speed Internet access than the general population. I also suspect that Apple retail stores may be willing to help out customers who just can't manage to download a 3.76GB installer in a reasonable amount of
When this change was first revealed in the second developer preview of Lion, there was much gnashing of teeth. But ask yourself, is the function of every control in the toolbar clear? Or rather, it is any less clear than it would be if iCal used the standard Mac OS X toolbar appearance? The immediate, visceral negative reaction to the rich Corinthian leather appearance had little to do with usability. What it came down to—what first impressions like these always seem to come down to—is whether or not you think it's ugly. People will take "really cool-looking but slightly harder to use"
The brushed metal appearance of the QuickTime player would later inspire an officially supported Mac OS X window appearance starting in version 10.2, only to be dropped completely five years later in 10.5's grand interface unification. Now, three years after that, the pendulum is swinging in other direction again—and hard. In the case of iCal, Apple has aped the appearance of an analogous physical object (a tear-off paper calendar) but retained the behavior of standard Mac OS X controls. This avoids the problems of the QuickTime 4.0 player's dial control, but it's far from a clean win. The

Best upgraded house
The place was great. Very organized and spacious! Slept 11 of us more than comfortably. We all enjoyed the game room and the back deck. The kitchen is perfect for more than 3 people to help cook at once. As a cleaning business owner, the cleaning fee is a little expensive for the way the house was found. Bathrooms and kitchen could have used an extra hand, other than that this place was great! I will deff. recommend and would consider staying at this property again. Anthony was a pleasure! Very kind, informative, and helpful! He's the bomb!
Our group had a good time here and enjoyed the place.
The home was well stocked with enough beds for my group of 13 people. We enjoyed relaxing in the main living room where we spent most of our time playing card games, talking, and enjoying each others company. The owner did a phenomenal job helping us prepare for our trip, answering all of our questions, and being as accommodating as possible. The Wi-Fi stole the show for the group! I would definitely stay here next time for a much longer duration the next time we have an event in the Poconos. If you are looking for an affordable place that is comfy to spend a night or two in, this is your place. The ground outside was a little swampy, but that must have been due to the large rainfall that rolled through the Poconos before our arrival.
I have had experiance renting from this owner and he is very accomidating, very kind, and were willing to help us all weekend. He kept in contact with me via Email and Text incase i needed anything, and stayed to make sure everything was as we had hoped before he left. I would highly suggest renting from this owner
We had a wonderful time in this comfortable home.The house is perfect for a large family or 2 families.The loft and game room was a great bonus,the kids could watch a movie or play a game as the adults sat in the livingroom.the owner was terrific.He even let us checkout in late afternoon.Everyone loved it!!!
I'm really disappointed to have to give a negative review. One of the reasons we like to go to the poconos is to enjoy a fireplace with the fire crackling n the warmth that comes with it. When we arrived there were sticky notes on the fire place saying it was broke! We should have been forewarned of this since you do advertise a fire place in your rental add. If you like to sleep in, you won't here because there are no curtains or shades on any of the windows! There were flys n bugs also in this property. This property also has a water machine that dispenses bottled water but the bottled water jugs that were there were sealed with plastic bags around the top. This led me to believe they were filled manually from the hose or something.
Camelback and all other mountains are just few miles away .

By nathandjen
What we say:
The steps to Tao Thong Villa are steep and long, the road is rough and your destination includes little more than the secluded housing and an on-site restaurant. The wooden villas sit atop brick stilts and straddle the headland that is Cape Jeda Gang. Rooms are clean and generally more spacious than nearby alternatives, with especially large balconies and accompanying hammocks for quiet, lazy days. Guests can choose between fan and air-con, though all units come with cold water. There are little coves on both Ao Kul Jeua and Haad Sai Nual sides of the peninsula, great for swimming and snorkelling. The beach is smaller than other stretches in the area, but is also likely to have fewer visitors. Sai Nual Beach is only a short walk away, though getting to town by foot is quite a trek. A short walk from here will bring you to the associated Tao Thong 2 Villa which also offers remote bungalows with breathtaking ocean views. Here you will find more options – with housing ranging from 500 baht for a basic, small fan-cooled bungalow to a 1,500 baht room with air-con. All have hot water. Rooms are a good size, while the accompanying balconies are particularly large and include a table and chairs. There is also a small family-run restaurant and massage area.

Peaceful and VERY quiet!
I went to Tao Thong Villa first in 2003 and spent nearly a month there. There were lots of people around and the vibe was great.
We visited in the low season (June 09) and the peaceful setting was still there although not many guest were...
Gone are the 100B wooden bungalows and all that remains is 400-600 B Concrete ones with cold water bathroom.
The snorkeling is THE BEST on Ko Tao for sure. Having dived and snorkeled on every beach and spot on the island, trust me, you can see black tips, puffer fish and turtles right outside for doorstep if you stay here!
Don't expect a good night life. There is a bar called 'Sky Bar' just up from the bungalows run by the owner's cousin. A nice place to chill in the evenings but not a bif party place.
The main problem is getting there.
It's a 40 min hike from Mae Had through the jungle, a 400 B 4x4 taxi or a 100B per person longtail ride.
The owner does not have a boat and it's difficult if not impossible to get a longtail ride there if the water is choppy or it's dark.
If you want a peaceful relaxed place with great snorkeling and a private beach, away from all the diving and drinking on Mae Had or Sairee beach, come here. If you want to party don't.

Самые подробные рекомендации для самостоятельного туризма.
The movie Pulp Fiction was right: the thing about Europe is the little differences. Thanks to the continent's huge global influence, newcomers find it foreign and, at the same time, reassuringly familiar. Often dubbed a 'living museum', this is a online pokies game place rich in history and tradition.
One of the great joys of travel in Western Europe is that you can plan as much or as little as you want. Some people will have a must-see list of sights they will feel cheated if they miss. Others will go with the flow and let their moods and experiences shape their journey. Neither is the better way to go and many people will combine aspects of both. They'll have a realistic idea of what they can accomplish while still having the freedom to take a detour on a whim.
Planning also helps you figure out how much you'll spend and when is the best time to travel for the sort of trip you want.
One of the most rewarding things about travelling through Western Europe is the rich variety of cuisine, customs, architecture and history. The flipside of course is that you'll encounter a number of very different languages. Most languages spoken in Western Europe, including English, belong to what's known as the Indo-European language family, believed to have originally developed from one language spoken thousands of years ago. Luckily for English speakers, all but one use Roman script.
The Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese) all developed from Vulgar Latin, which spread through Western Europe during the rule of the Roman Empire. The freedom with which English has borrowed Latin-based vocabu- lary means you'll quickly recognise many words from these languages. The Germanic languages – Dutch and German – are more closely related to English. The Scandina- vian languages (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) form the northern branch of the Germanic languages tree, having developed from Old Norse, the language of the Vikings. Their big advantage is that, being so closely related, once you've got the hang of one language, the others should seem quite familiar. Greek, the language of the Iliad and the Odyssey, forms a single branch of the Indo-European language family and uses Greek script. Finally, Turkish is part of the Ural-Altaic language fam- ily, which includes languages spoken from the Balkan Peninsula to northeast Asia. Arabic script was replaced by Roman script for Turkish in the early 20th century.
According to experts like us, travelling in the Western Balkans is dead easy. And that statement is almost entirely true! Visiting Slovenia and Croatia is no more difficult than going to Germany or Italy. Bosnia, Ser- bia and Montenegro, and Macedonia are less expensive; they feature lots of signs in Cyrillic alphabets, but are still easy to visit. Albania is more challenging: the capital Tirana is in the middle of a building boom, and many roads are either in dreadful shape or being rebuilt, though some of the main arteries have been finished. All around the region there are ATMs from which you can withdraw money from your account at home, and Internet cafés where you can check your email. Lots of new hotels and restaurants have opened in recent years, and there are many more on the way. If you are visiting in July and August it is useful to book accommodation ahead, particularly on Croatia's popular Dalmatian coast. The conflicts of the 1990s are well and truly over and the region is safe to visit, though it pays to check on current events in Kosovo before you venture there.
These are, unquestionably, exciting times, with the country virtually unrecognisable from the Ireland of 20 years ago, when high unemployment and a battered economy meant that emigration was a fact of lifefor someone in almost every family, and opportunities were slices of luck that really couldn't be trusted.
Расположенный на самом краю Арктики, прекрасный небольшой остров распологает рядом самых впечатляющих природных достопримечательностей в Европе. И это не хвастовство.
Getting the most out of a visit to Spain is partly a matter of timing. You need to plan around the weather if you hope to enjoy the outdoors (walking, skiing, diving and so on) but avoid the crowded seasonal peaks. You may want to witness some of the country's extraordinary festivals. Some visitors aim for a taste of luxury and gourmet indulgence; in this case it is worth planning which castles to stay in and which avant-garde restaurants to book. Whether it's a lazy beach holiday or a strenuous cycle tour, anything is possible, and on most budgets too.
The land that gave us Roman efficiency and Renaissance aesthetics is one of the single greatest repositories of sensorial pleasures on the face of the earth. From art to food, from stunning and varied countryside to flamboyant fashion, Italy has it all.
Travelling to and through Cyprus is pretty effortless. Most people visit the island on package tours; it's also easy to get an independent flight, although these tend to get sold out and pricey in the peak summer months of June to September.
World history is generally told without reference to Corsica at all, except, in passing, as the place that gave birth to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Nevertheless, Corsica's history is a fascinating and turbulent one. Its strategic position long attracted the attentions of the major Mediterranean and European powers. Armies from Pisa, Genoa, France, Spain and Britain, not to mention the Moors and the armies of the Roman and Holy Roman Empires, have all fought on Corsican soil. This long history of conflict reflects another battle – the islanders' struggle to assert their identity while dominated by a succession of foreign rulers. Indeed, Corsicans have battled for their independence ever since the Romans occupied the island, beginning in 259 BC.

Within the last four months, two divisions of the California Court of Appeal's Second Appellate District have taken different positions on the requirements for "disparage," as that term is used in commercial liability insurance policies that provide coverage for "advertising injury."
On June 21, 2012, Division One of the Second Appellate District decided Travelers Property Casualty Co. of America v. Charlotte Russe Holding, Inc. In that case, Travelers issued a commercial liability policy that promised to defend Charlotte Russe, a retailer, against any suit that sought damages for advertising injury claims. The policy provided that it covered claims alleging injury arising out of the publication of material that disparages a person's goods, products or services.
Charlotte Russe had a contract to become the exclusive sales outlet for Versatile's "People's Liberation" brand of apparel. Displays in Charlotte Russe stores announced the sale of People's Liberation jeans at 70% to 85% price markdowns. Versatile sued Charlotte Russe, alleging that the retailer's pricing practices would result in significant and irreparable damage to the People's Liberation brand. Charlotte Russe asked Travelers to defend the lawsuit. Travelers refused. The insurer maintained that coverage was not available because reduction of the price of a product is not a disparagement of the product.
The trial court granted Travelers' motion for summary judgment, but Division One reversed the trial court's ruling. (While initially unpublished, the appellate court's decision was certified for publication on July 13, 2012.) The decision concluded that an allegation of disparagement may be implied. The Division One court held that the key issue is not whether Versatile expressly alleged that Charlotte Russe disparaged Versatile's products, but instead whether Charlotte Russe's statements and conduct could be understood to disparage Versatile's products.
The Second Appellate District's Division Three took an opposite view in its October 29, 2012, decision in Hartford Casualty Insurance Co. v. Swift Distribution, Inc.,which also involved a claim for coverage under a policy's advertising injury coverage. The Division Three court ruled that the insurer in that case had no duty to defend because the lawsuit against the insured did not allege that the insured published an injurious falsehood directed at the plaintiff's products. The court expressed disagreement "with the theory of disparagement apparently recognized in Charlotte Russe." The court explained,
Charlotte Russe held that this reduced pricing was enough to constitute disparagement, which triggered the duty to defend. We fail to see how a reduction in price—even a steep reduction in price—constitutes disparagement."
Charlotte Russe held that this reduced pricing was enough to constitute disparagement, which triggered the duty to defend. We fail to see how a reduction in price—even a steep reduction in price—constitutes disparagement."
In September, the California Supreme Court denied review of the Charlotte Russe decision; the time to seek review in the Hartford Casualty has not yet run.

Christopher Heine | February 29, 2012 | Comments
Coke, Walmart, Hyundai, and others are launch partners.
Facebook debuted Timelines for brands this morning. In a testament to widespread obsession with the site, the announcement was even plugged on the Today Show. The NBC program was one of a slew of notable launch partners to get the new brand pages, which look and function like the user Timelines that have been rolling out for weeks. Also premiering pages were Macy's, Hyundai, Coca-Cola, Lexus, Manchester United, Walmart, and New York Times.
The new Pages allow brands to tell their stories going back to their founders. For instance, Coke's Timeline begins at 1886. Shaun Quigley, a VP and digital director at ad agency Brunner, forecasted that particular feature in a ClickZ interview yesterday.
"One top Timeline consideration is that a brand's Facebook presence no longer must date to when it joined the site but can be represented with content populating its Timeline from throughout its history," Quigley said. "Brands, for example, can add an event for when they were introduced commercially, and literally tell the entire story of the brand. Also, from a pure look and feel perspective, brands have more visual power with timeline."
The Timelines will eventually be available to all businesses. The product announcement might be just one of many marketing-related revelations at today's Facebook Marketing Conference (fMC), which is being held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
Following are screengrabs from three brand Timelines.
Coke's first Timelines post, backdated to 1886:

U.S. gas prices up 11 cents in 2 weeks
The survey covers the period ended Friday and is based on information obtained at about 2,500 filling stations by the Camarillo, Calif.-based company.
The average, which reached a year-to-date peak of $3.795 in the period ended Feb. 22, is 12.67 cents below the year-earlier price of $3.7833 a gallon.
The recent increase is "one of the exceptions to the rule that most likely crude oil will be the mover and shaker for change in the direction of gasoline prices at retail," Trilby Lundberg, president of Lundberg Survey, said Sunday in a telephone interview. "It was driven by infrastructure problems downstream at the refinery level."
Wholesale price increases related to refinery issues haven't been passed fully along to consumers, and some retailers' profit margins have been squeezed, Lundberg said. Drivers in the Midwest and West have been among the most affected by higher prices so far, she said. U.S. prices may rise 4 cents to 7 cents in coming days, Lundberg said, and increases may pause before the Memorial Day holiday next week.
Gasoline futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 8.15 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $2.0969 a gallon in the two weeks ended Friday. It was the highest settlement since April 9.
U.S. gasoline stockpiles rose 2.59 million barrels in the week ended May 10 to 217.7 million, the first increase in five weeks, according to data from the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the Energy Department.
West Texas Intermediate oil on the Nymex rose 41 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $96.02 a barrel in the two weeks to Friday. Prices have advanced 11 percent since April 17, when they reached $86.68, the lowest settlement of the year.
Crude inventories fell 624,000 barrels in the week ended May 10 to 394.9 million, the first decline in four weeks, according to EIA data. Supplies at Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for the Nymex futures contract, increased 575,000 barrels to 49.7 million.
Crude futures probably will fall this week on concern that weaker economic growth will reduce fuel demand, a Bloomberg survey showed.
Eighteen of 35 analysts, or 51 percent, forecast crude will drop through May 24. Seven respondents, or 20 percent, predicted a gain. Ten said there would be little change.
The highest price for gasoline in the lower 48 U.S. states among the markets surveyed was in Minneapolis, where the average was $4.27 a gallon, Lundberg said. The lowest price was in Tucson, Ariz., where customers paid an average of $3.18 a gallon.
Regular gasoline averaged $3.77 a gallon on Long Island, N.Y., and $4.05 in Los Angeles.
