Automatic Maintenance
- Clients – Windows 8
- Servers – Windows Server 2012
Windows depends on execution of inbox and third party maintenance activity for much of its value-add, including Windows Update, and automatic disk defragmentation, as well as antivirus updates and scans. Additionally, enterprises frequently use maintenance activity such as Network Access Protection (NAP) scanning to help enforce security standards on all enterprise workstations.
Maintenance activity in Windows is designed to run in the background with limited user interaction and minimal impact to performance and energy efficiency. However, in Windows 7 and earlier versions, performance and energy efficiency are still impacted due to the non-deterministic and widely varied schedule of the multiple maintenance activities in Windows. Responsiveness to users is reduced when maintenance activity runs while users are actively using the computer. Apps also frequently ask the user to update their software and run background maintenance, and direct users to multiple experiences, including Action Center, Control Panel, Windows Update, Task Scheduler MMC snap-in, and third-party controls.
The goal of Automatic Maintenance is to combine all background maintenance activity in Windows and help third-party developers add their maintenance activity to Windows without negatively impacting performance and energy efficiency. Additionally, Automatic Maintenance enables users as well as enterprises to be in control of maintenance activity scheduling and configuration.
Key problems
Automatic Maintenance is designed to address these problems with maintenance activity in Windows:
- Deadline scheduling
- Resource utilization conflicts
- Energy efficiency
- Transparency to the user
Automatic Maintenance facilitates idle efficiency and permits all activity to run in a timely and prioritized fashion. It also helps enable unified visibility and control over maintenance activity, and allows third-party developers to add their maintenance activity to Windows without negatively impacting performance and energy efficiency. To do this, it provides a fully automatic mode, user-initiated mode, automatic stop, deadlines and notification, and enterprise control. These are each described below.
Fully automatic mode
This default mode enables intelligent scheduling during PC idle-time and at scheduled times—the execution and automatic pausing of maintenance activity without any user intervention. The user can set a weekly or daily schedule. All maintenance activity is non-interactive and executes silently.
The computer automatically is resumed from sleep when the system is not likely to be in use, respecting the Power Management policy, which in the case of laptops, defaults to allow wake-up only if it is on AC power. Full system resources at high power are used to complete the maintenance activity as quickly as possible. If the system was resumed from sleep for Automatic Maintenance, it is requested to return to sleep.
Any required user interactions related to activities such as configuration are performed outside of Automatic Maintenance execution.
User-initiated mode
If users need to prepare for travel, expect to be on battery power for a prolonged time, or wish to optimize for performance and responsiveness, they have the option of initiating Automatic Maintenance on demand. Users can configure Automatic Maintenance attributes, including the automatic run schedule. They can view the current status of Automatic Maintenance execution, and they can stop Automatic Maintenance if needed.
Automatic stop
Automatic Maintenance automatically stops currently running maintenance activities if the user starts interacting with the computer. Maintenance activity will resume when the system returns to idle status.
Critical maintenance activity must execute within a pre-defined time window. If critical tasks have not been able to run within their designated time, Automatic Maintenance will automatically start executing at the next available system idle opportunity. However, if the task state remains behind deadline, Automatic Maintenance will notify the user about the activity and provide an option for a manual run of Automatic Maintenance. All tasks scheduled for maintenance will run, although the most starved tasks take precedence. This activity may impact system responsiveness and performance; therefore, Automatic Maintenance will notify the user that critical maintenance activity is executing.
Enterprise control
Enterprise IT professionals should be able to determine when Automatic Maintenance executes on their Windows systems, enforce that schedule via standardized management interfaces, and retrieve event data about the status of Automatic Maintenance execution attempts. Additionally, IT professionals should be able to invoke specific Automatic Maintenance activity remotely via standard management interfaces. Each time Automatic Maintenance executes, status reporting, including notifications when Automatic Maintenance could not be executed because the user has manually paused the activity, runs. IT professionals should consider moving logon scripts to Automatic Maintenance to help make the user's logon experience quicker.
Creating an Automatic Maintenance task
This section details how developers can create a task using a task definition in XML or C language. Keep in mind that maintenance activity should not launch any user interface that requires user interaction, as Automatic Maintenance is completely silent and runs when the user is not present. Indeed, if the user interacts with the computer during Automatic Maintenance, any tasks in process will be ended until the next idle period.
Using XML
Task Scheduler includes a built-in command-line tool, schtasks.exe, that can import a task definition in XML format. The schema for task definition is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa383609(v=VS.85).aspx. Below is an example of an Automatic Maintenance task defined in XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <Task version="1.4" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task"> <RegistrationInfo> <Date>2011-07-01T11:34:31</Date> <Author>IT Deptartment</Author> </RegistrationInfo> <Principals> <Principal id="Author"> <RunLevel>LeastPrivilege</RunLevel> <GroupId>NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM</GroupId> </Principal> </Principals> <Settings> <MultipleInstancesPolicy>IgnoreNew</MultipleInstancesPolicy> <DisallowStartIfOnBatteries>true</DisallowStartIfOnBatteries> <StopIfGoingOnBatteries>true</StopIfGoingOnBatteries> <AllowHardTerminate>true</AllowHardTerminate> <StartWhenAvailable>false</StartWhenAvailable> <RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable>false</RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable> <MaintenanceSettings> <Period>P2D</Period> <Deadline>P14D</Deadline> </MaintenanceSettings> <AllowStartOnDemand>true</AllowStartOnDemand> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Hidden>false</Hidden> <RunOnlyIfIdle>false</RunOnlyIfIdle> <DisallowStartOnRemoteAppSession>false</DisallowStartOnRemoteAppSession> <UseUnifiedSchedulingEngine>true</UseUnifiedSchedulingEngine> <WakeToRun>false</WakeToRun> <ExecutionTimeLimit>P3D</ExecutionTimeLimit> <Priority>7</Priority> </Settings> <Actions Context="Author"> <Exec> <Command>cmd</Command> <Arguments>/c timeout -t 60</Arguments> </Exec> </Actions> </Task>
To save the task on a Windows computer, save the above XML as a text file and use this command line:
Schtasks.exe /create /tn <task name> /xml <text file name>
Using C
An Automatic Maintenance task also can be created using C code. Below is a code sample that can be used to configure a task's Automatic Maintenance settings:
/******************************************************************** This sample creates a maintenance task to start cmd window during maintenance opportunities with periodicity of 2 days and deadline 0f 14 days. ********************************************************************/ #define _WIN32_DCOM #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> #include <comdef.h> #include <wincred.h> // Include the task header file. #include <taskschd.h> //#pragma comment(lib, "taskschd.lib") //#pragma comment(lib, "comsupp.lib") int __cdecl MainteanceTask( ) { // ------------------------------------------------------ // Initialize COM.

Validating tasks
Validate that the task has been created successfully and runs as part of maintenance.
Validating task creation
Use this command line to export the task definition to a file and ensure that the task definition is as expected:
Schtasks.exe /Query /tn<task name> /xml <text file name>
Validating task execution
Run this command line to launch the task and validate that the Task Scheduler UI (taskschd.msc) shows the task has run:
Schtasks.exe /Run /tn<task name>

Suha Arafat Exhumes Truth About Intifada
Widow of PLO leader says Second Intifada was premeditated
Last month I had the very specific thrill of getting to see Yossi Klein Halevi in conversation with Leon Wieseltier at a shul on the Upper East Side. In addition to reminiscing about the days when Leon used to sneak into Jimi Hendrix concerts, the two public intellectuals talked a lot about the Middle East.
Both had their share of big insights–I highly recommend seeing them if they decide to tour–but, as some news made its way into my orbit, one comment made by Klein Halevi stuck out to me.
In walking the crowd through the recent history of Israel, Yossi Klein Halevi said that the First Intifada had birthed the phenomenon of "the guilty Israeli." Klein Halevi didn't expand on this much, but most likely he meant that this Israeli archetype most likely watched the Palestinian protests of the late 1980s and early 1990s and responded more sympathetically than ever to the Palestinian demands for statehood.
The very next thing Klein Halevi declared was that the syndrome of the guilty Israel had been summarily "cured" by the extremely violent Second Intifada a decade later. In other words, as their buses, cafes, and hotels were targeted in attacks, Israelis understandably no longer placed emotional priority on the Palestinian national quest (even if Israel's long-term health ultimately relies upon it).
The Second Intifada also caused a new disconnect between Israel's story and the world's interpretation of it. I was three weeks into a gap year program in Israel when the violence began in September of 2000 and when I left ten bloody months later, there seemed to be nothing more certain to anyone around me than Israel's virtue in defending itself against terrorism. But the narrative, unsurprisingly, was completely different everywhere else.
On the college campus, the Second Intifada hadn't been an act of war unleashed upon an Israeli population whose leadership had just made a generous peace offer and been rebuffed. Instead, according to too many, the Second Intifada had been the response to Ariel Sharon's offensive visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which had supposedly provoked a war that would last for five years and take nearly 4,000 lives.
The tactic worked. The Second Intifada lent the Palestinian cause countless symbols to massage public opinion with: disproportionate body counts, photos of civilian dead, the birth of an ugly security barrier, etc. A robust campaign to delegitimize Israel was waged, all of which started with a lie.
More than 12 years later, the lie surrounding the inciting cause of the Second Intifada has finally been put to rest. In a surreal interview with Dubai TV (translated by MEMRI), Suha Arafat, the widow of Yasser Arafat, bluntly boasted that the Second Intifada had been entirely premeditated by her late husband. Arafat told her interviewer of a meeting with her husband in Paris in 2000.
"Immediately after the failure of the Camp David [negotiations], I met him in Paris upon his return…. Camp David had failed, and he said to me, 'You should remain in Paris.' I asked him why, and he said, 'Because I am going to start an intifada. They want me to betray the Palestinian cause. They want me to give up on our principles, and I will not do so.'"
The cause to be betrayed? A peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the expense of Arab rejectionism. Quoting him, she went on:
"'I do not want Zahwa's [Arafat's daughter's] friends in the future to say that Yasser Arafat abandoned the Palestinian cause and principles. I might be martyred, but I shall bequeath our historical heritage to Zahwa and to the children of Palestine.'"
The historical heritage Arafat bequeathed instead? Violence, death, corruption, graft, Palestinian poverty, and the worst casualty of all for Palestinian nationalism, a partner that could believe in it.

The Rolling Stones join 12/12/12 Sandy benefit concert
NEW YORK — The Rolling Stones will join a star-studded lineup at a December 12 concert to benefit victims of megastorm Sandy, organizers said Friday.
Proceeds from the concert, which falls on the date 12/12/12, will be donated to a foundation for those impacted by the late October storm that plowed into the US northeast, including the hard-hit states of New York and New Jersey.
The storm killed more than 110 people and destroyed or damaged hundreds of thousands of homes, schools and hospitals.
Already slated to appear at Wednesday's concert, to be held at Madison Square Garden, are New Jersey hometown favorites Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, and other top names in rock, including Eric Clapton, the Who nad Paul McCartney.
On Saturday, the Stones will also be in New York for the first of three US concerts, as part of a tour celebrating the group's 50th anniversary.
The tour kicked off in late November in London.

text: I have owned a new dell 513 desktop for the last 2 years. I was playing an old game 'Medal Of Honor Allied Assault' and the screen suddenly went very strange and the PC crashed. Every time I rebooted I got a BSOD with the nvlddmkm.sys file in the error message. The only way I can start the machine now is in safe mode. I have tried all the latest video card drivers from Dell and direct from Nvidia. I have also tried latest BIOS flash, all chipset and other drivers. I still get the BSOD on startup. One thing is strange though, there are vertical bands on the display in safe mode as you can see in the picture below. I am wondering if the card has developed a fault. It is a plug in PCIe card. The fan is working and there is no build up of dust or any blockages inside the case. Any ideas?

Peter Frampton Files for Divorce
TMZ is reporting that Frampton filed the divorce papers in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.
The 61-year-old singer is asking for joint legal custody and visitation rights of the couple's 15-year-old daughter, Mia.
However, Frampton is asking that the primary physical custody of their daughter be awarded to Elfers.
Frampton is also asking that the lawyer's fees be shared with Elfers.
This is Frampton's third divorce. The couple got married in 1996 and split on New Year's Eve of 2010.
Halle Berry called it quits with her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, ending their five-year relationship. The couple has a 2-year-old daughter, Nahla Ariel Aubry.

I'm like Judy, saw him when I was 16 and I am 52 now. He really does look older!! Who knows why they are getting divorced; it's really none of our business. But I do say 3 strikes and your out! To the person who says he is a drug user; I believe he had coke problem in the 80's. (who didn't?) I think he has been clean and sober since then but who knows. Again it's none of our business!!

One thing I'd keep working on is the use of various types of pencils to create different types of lines. For now everything seems to be quite generic as if done with one type of pencil and I'd reckon you could do with a bit more variation. As for you figures themselves I'd still strongly recommend drawing figures from life. Making fantasy characters is all good fun but if you really want to improve you have to make the basics first. Getting a good base is crucial for further improvement. Try to work on your drawing hand by making observational drawings, things in your room etc, and improve figure drawings by drawing figures from real life (or posemaniacs if you dont have a model)

Looking great. Keep posting man!
September 13th, 2010 #95
You are a much better artists than i was at age 16 thats for sure! And your 3d work is very promising too.
Id repeat what others have said, just work on your anatomy so that your imaginative work gets stronger.
Something i wish i did more is this: if you are drawing a character from imagination, and you need a little help getting part of the anatomy right, just look at some reference for that part of the body. It cant hurt and it will strengthen your work.

Hey! Nice stuff you've got here! I like that you play with facial characteristics, it makes your faces interesting. You are good with values and shadows and your z-brush stuff are amazing! Keep studying anatomy, waiting to see more good work!
September 16th, 2010 #101
Hey Brahimpag, these are some pretty good studies you have. On that last page there are some pretty nice drawings that you did without reference. Way to go on those. You ought to do some more drawings like the ones in your posts 43 and 52, they will probably be a good opportunity to learn more about the figure.

Awesome sketches, keep 'em coming! For a crit, your proportions are a bit wonky right now, so try to focus on getting your figure laid out with correct proportions early on in the drawing. Specifically, the first figure and the last figure (the blue guy, no the troll) in your last post have small heads compared to their torsos (though in the last guy, the torso is too large compared to the head and arms). Their forearms also seem a tad short. Try to get some hand studies in when you have a chance as well. Keep up the good work!

Photo Credit: 49ers This could very well be one of the finer divisional weekends in NFL history depending on how the NFC matchups end up, and this game tops them all. San Francisco and Green Bay are two of the more prestigious franchises in the NFL, and they have had several thrilling finishes in the postseason. One that comes to mind would be the game where Jerry Rice fumbled and then Terrell Owens ended up catching the game-winning touchdown in the 1999 Wild Card game . Also, there was a few occasions where Brett Favre got revenge ('96, '97, '98, '02), but the bottom line is that these two teams always play with something vital on the line . The classic matchups we have seen between these two have not exactly lived up to the hype that some have expected, but this one should live up to everything and then some. While Green Bay will be attempting to avenge their season opening loss at Lambeau, this one looks like it will come down to the wire. Both of these teams have had their issu...

Brotherhood refined: San Beda Alabang High School Pep Band
The last high school batch of all-male students graduated from San Beda in Manila in 2005—marking the school's transition to a coeducational institution, after more than a century of being exclusive to boys.
Many students feared their school's fiery spirit and rich heritage would be forgotten. So a group of Bedans from Manila and its sister school in Alabang decided to form a cheering squad.
Since San Beda Alabang, which is also coed, formed its band and male pep squad to support its athletes during games, the team has grown— from the initial three members to 60 regulars and recruits.
"Even if we come from different year levels, we look out for each other and we set aside our differences," member Carl Laurel says. "It is full of fun and trustworthy people."
Being a varsity team, they should have the mind-set of athletes even if they don't compete. Strength training is part of their core regimen because male traditional cheering and beating drums take a toll on one's stamina.
They also reserve a day in maintaining their instruments, and trying to be the loudest drums in the stadium.
Bedan alumnus Aris Matuloy, who was part of the original all-boy pep squad, the San Beda Cheerleading Association (SBCA), shares some insights when he helped out the young Alabang squad.
"Brotherhood is the key to this team. The guy next to you is your brother, learn to trust him. You need him to succeed and get the best results," he says.
"Joining SBCA is not about getting pogi points but for personal growth, because it will give you confidence," he adds.
Matuloy was a cheerleader when San Beda's basketball team, the Red Lions, was hardly winning, yet his recruits stood proud—proving that the strong Bedan spirit isn't measured by the number of championship titles.
San Beda will never be an exclusive all-boys school again, but it does not deter these new generations of Bedans from paying homage to the past and continuing what their older schoolmates had started.
"We are the ones who carry and preserve the Bedan culture. It is our duty to show what the true Bedan spirit is all about," says Laurel.

"Sponsoring area residents realize that the academic and professional programming offered at North Country is both a sound investment in one's career prospects and a financially smart stepping stone to a four-year degree," said Fred Smith, interim president of North Country.
While area four-year college tuition will range from $5,000-25,000 next year, North Country anticipates tuition to be less than $3,700 for fall 2009.
Fall 2009 admission applications are also on the rise in comparison to this same time last year. North Country is currently experiencing a 9 percent increase in applicants seeking admission to the college with the two greatest areas of growth being among first-time (freshmen) and transfer students.
The fall 2009 semester will also mark the second year of the Essex and Franklin Scholar's Program which provides two years of free full-time tuition to all 2009 Essex and Franklin County public high school graduates who finish in the top 20 percent of their class.
"Given the tough regional, state and national economy, two years of free full-time tuition can be the deciding factor of whether a student attends college next fall or not," said Ed Trathen, vice president for enrollment and student services. "Ensuring that students in our sponsoring communities have access to the best quality higher education is the cornerstone of North Country's mission."

text: If reading reviews of the Dark Knight tells you one thing, it's that Heath Ledger's performance is spectacular—somewhere on par with Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia, Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, and Tom Arnold in The Stupids. But we're wondering, is it really that great or is this post-mortem love a product of America's tendency to over-praise in death? Hell if we know, every showing of the damn movie is sold out until next month. At the very least, it's a question worth contemplating as you read these eulogies disguised as movie reviews:

What's in a Name: Famous football player scores local tribute
Where is it?
The field is at Peach and Chestnut streets, next to Central Career and Technical School.
What's the story?
Beyond Sunday's feasts and crowds huddled around big screens, there's a direct Erie connection to the Super Bowl.
Fred Biletnikoff, 67, born in Erie and a graduate of what is now Central Tech, signed a pro contract with the American Football League's Oakland Raiders in 1965. In his 13-year career as a wide receiver, Biletnikoff amassed 589 receptions, 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns. He also played in two Super Bowls: 1968, against Green Bay; and 1977, against Minnesota, when he was named MVP. He went on to a long coaching career, mostly for the Raiders (1989-2007).
Biletnikoff was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988. The Erie field was dedicated in his honor soon thereafter.

BOISE Death row inmate Paul Ezra Rhoades is denied a stay of execution. The Idaho death row inmate is now expected to die by lethal injection on Friday. This was the decision handed down by a federal magistrate judge Monday. Rhoades was convicted of killing three people and sentenced to death for two of the murders.
Articles from the local newspaper chronicled the series of events from all the way back in1987, when the town of Idaho Falls was living in fear. Two people were already dead, and then a local school teacher was found shot and tortured to death.
Susan Michelbacher was the last of Rhoades' victims in March of 1987. The 34 year old was discovered roughly eight miles west of Idaho Falls in lava rock and sage brush shot to death. Later an autopsy revealed Rhoades shot her eight times before she bled to death.
In February of that year, before he kidnapped and killed Michelbacher, 21 year old Stacy Baldwin was shot after being abducted while working at the Red Mini Barn a convenience store in Blackfoot. She put up a fight against her attacker, Rhoades tried to sexually assault her but she was able to flee, as she ran, he shot her in the back.
On March 17th Nolan Haddon was shot while working at Buck's convenience store in Idaho Falls. The 23 year old was a student at the time at a technical-vocational school. His body was found in the store's walk in cooler.
With three unsolved murders at the time, the residents of Idaho Falls were on high alert. I think it's a frightening experience to have someone loose in the community who is a brutal killer, that was what Tom Campbel was quoted saying in an Idaho Statesman, he served as the Mayor of Idaho Falls.
Those who worked at Michelbacher's school, Eagle Rock Junior High were also in mourning. Vicky Ballock was a friend and colleague of Michelbacker was quoted in the news saying the deaths were unbelievable. She was very determined and had a bubbly personality. It's going to be hard to go back to school, Ballock said.
A news article from back in 1987 said investigators revealed Susan Michelbacher was kidnapped at 7 in the morning, by someone who climbed into her unlocked van while she was in the grocery store. Her van was abandoned and found in the parking lot of Alberstons in east Idaho Falls.
Ten days later Paul Ezra Rhoades was arrested in Wells Nevada. He was 30 at the time and still lethargic from the meth he was on. Rhoades was barefoot when he made his initial court appearance, refusing to wear shoes or the slippers the jail provided.
Bingham County Deputy Paul Wilde was quoted in a news article saying, bullets recovered from the three victim's bodies had been fired from a gun confiscated when Rhoades was arrested.
Rhoades was extradited from Nevada to Idaho, was convicted in 1988 and was given two death sentences and a life in prison sentence for murder the murders of Stacy Baldwin, Nolan Haddon and Susan Michelbacher.
Since 1987, Paul Ezra Rhoades has communicated the way he feels about the murders to the Idaho Commission of Pardon and Parole. He said he has struggled with the guilt and remorse he feels for the deaths.

WYLIE Randy Allen stood in his front yard on Tuesday with his wife, who clutched a portrait of their late son. He said he felt relieved a day prior, the Garland officer who fired 41 shots into his son s truck last year was indicted for manslaughter by a Dallas County grand jury.
My heart was full of joy when I heard it this morning, said Randy Allen.
On Aug. 31, 2012, Ofc. Patrick Tuter noticed a truck that matched the description of a pickup involved in a Sachse police chase earlier in the week. Behind the wheel was Michael Vincent Allen, a 25-year-old who lived in Wylie.
Following a 30-minute chase that exceeded speeds of 100 miles per hour, dash cam footage showed Tuter slamming into Allen's truck in a cul-de-sac in Mesquite. Tuter opened fire on the truck 41 times, striking Allen with three of those bullets.
I don t understand how anyone can have that much hate in them to do what he did, Randy Allen said. He shot, reloaded, shot, reloaded and shot again. I want an explanation.
Tuter initially told investigators that he thought Allen was armed and was trying to ram his patrol car. He said he felt his life was in danger. The dash camera video later raised doubts as to Tuter s claims. Tuter cornered Allen and opened fire there was no evidence Allen was armed.
The 25-year-old had an outstanding warrant for running from police a few days before the shooting. Tuter, a 6-year veteran, was fired and the case was forwarded to a grand jury. The investigation found the officer violated its use of force policy.
Randy and I have said in the beginning he didn t do the right thing. But he didn t deserve what he got in the end, said Stephanie Allen, the victim s mother.
Tuter is being held on a $100,000 bond at the Dallas County Jail. Allen left behind a 5-year-old girl.

BERKELEY, Calif., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Mayer Laboratories, Inc., a marketer and distributor of high-quality contraceptive and other reproductive healthcare products, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Alvogen Group for the exclusive distribution rights of the Today Sponge for the United States, Europe and Canada.
For more than 20 years, Mayer Labs has marketed and distributed contraceptive and reproductive healthcare products in the United States and abroad. According to David Mayer, CEO of Mayer Labs, "we are very excited to add the Today Sponge to our portfolio of high quality reproductive products. Today Sponge has always remained popular with many consumer advantages; the recent interruption of distribution was not the result of product quality or market viability, but was due to the previous owner's overleveraged financial condition, which ultimately lead to their bankruptcy."
According to Doug Drysdale, CEO of Alvogen, "We considered several distribution partners for the Today Sponge. We selected Mayer Labs based on their expertise in this segment and their reputation as a valued and committed partner."
Originally introduced in 1983 and later acquired by Wyeth, the Today Sponge affords the freedom and flexibility of 24-hour contraceptive protection, and offers a safe and effective non-hormonal birth control alternative for millions of American women. The Today Sponge is a popular over-the-counter birth control method for women, with over 150 million sponges sold since its introduction.
About Mayer Laboratories, Inc.

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
Citi has boosted its headcount down under, relocating Tokyo-based managing director Alain Verdickt to Sydney to Head of G10 Rates Trading for the Asia Pacific ex-Japan.
Mr. Verdickt, who has worked at the Wall Street bank since 1993, will report to Head of Markets for Citi in Australia and New Zealand Chris Cox, Head of Markets for Citi in the Asia Pacific region Nadir Mahmud, and to Global Head of G10 Rates, Treasury and Finance Andy Morton.
A 200 million Australian dollar (US$205.2 million) tranche of the equity in a new property company to be spun out of Woolworths Ltd. has been allocated by sole lead manager Citigroup to co-lead managers, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday.
It comes after Woolworths outlined plans last week to create Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group through an A$1.4 billion initial public offering, which will see up to A$505 million of new capital raised. The IPO will be the biggest new listing on the Australian Securities Exchange this year.
Malaysia's CIMB has added to its Australian offering by poaching Sydney-based commodities strategist Daniel Hynes from Citi, according to an internal memo seen by Deal Journal Australia.
Mr. Hynes, who had been at Citi since September 2010, was the U.S. bank's Global Head of Bulk Commodity Research. At CIMB, he'll assume the role of Head of Commodity Strategy and report to Head of Equity Research and Strategy Alva Devoy.
Out of Australia's three mining majors: BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Newcrest Mining, the latter is exposed to the most country risk, according to Citi research analyst Elaine Prior.
Ms. Prior says the main risks for any companies that operate in developing countries — is that alongside traditional environmental and community issues, they may have to navigate through political instability, corruption, volatile regulations and even violence which could then cause unrest.
After watching its share price plunge to record lows, Qantas Airways is building a team of banks and executive management to ward off any potential hostile takeover.
A spokesman for Qantas said Tuesday that the airline has hired Australian investment bank Macquarie Group to advise it in case it receives a bid and Citigroup to monitor its share register. In addition, Qantas has formed an inner-circle of managers to deal with any bids, headed by chief executive Alan Joyce. A spokesman for Macquarie was unable to comment immediately on the bank's role with Qantas.
For mergers and acquisitions-related foreign exchange flows in Australia, Deutsche Bank likely has a bird's eye view.
Deutsche, known by many as the "Flows Monster", has cemented its place as far and away the biggest foreign exchange house in Australasia, claiming first place in the Euromoney annual poll.

"I have sympathy for the FDA, which is understaffed and underfunded in many areas," Brownlee said. "But there is no question that this agency had been captured by the very industries that it is supposed to regulate," she said.
Defending the VNS, Cyberonics chief financial officer Greg Browne said that "none of the approximately 900 deaths reported to the FDA were attributed to VNS therapy."
"Available data demonstrate that all-cause mortality rates for VNS therapy patients are less than half the rates in the comparable non-VNS epilepsy patient population," he added.
Dr. Jerry Avorn, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of an accompanying journal editorial, agreed with the article's authors that, "until recently the part of FDA that approves devices has been run in a much more loose manner than the part of FDA that approves drugs."
While the FDA has started to deal with some of these problems, "it's still more of a wild west environment than the drug side of FDA," he added.
The agency needs to look harder at the standards it uses when approving new devices, and should revamp its surveillance systems to spot people who have received faulty devices, he added.
"All government regulation is not a bad thing," Avorn said. "It can sometime be life-saving," he said.

I might try dropping it a bit lower. Haven't done any realy stress testing other than Oblivion last night. Which was *really* wierd. I haven't played the game in a while, and since the last time I had played it I have updated my drivers and dl'd some new hotfixes for Vista... but at 1680x1050, 4xAA, 16xAF, GCAA, TMSAA, and all in-game options maxed I was never getting below 45fps- ANYWHERE!!! Now not too long ago we had a huge thread comparing the 8800s to the 2900 and Oblivion was the main game used... in that thread even GTX owners didn't fare so well... so I'm thinking that the newer drivers and hotfixes might have done something to aide in my incredible FPS boost- also I might not have been in really stressful areas, though before while outdoors my FPS would drop to the 30s or a bit lower sometimes. And now, same settings, never below 45fps I bull**** you not.
Yeah, I'm happy.
Though my rig is doing something wierd... in HL2 I got to the part where you're in the buggy and that gunship is chasing you. You jump that fallen bridge and get to the part where the road is cluttered with old cars and you have to get out of the buggy and shoot the gunship down with your rocket launcher. Before my computer literally blew through that section at 60fps+. Now for some reason, as soon as I got out of my buggy my fps tanked and I'm getting 1-3fps at best. I've even tried disabling all unnecessary services, lowering the graphics settings, restarting- everything *but* undoing my OC. I find it hard to believe that my OC has anything to do with this as Oblivion is playing better than it ever has, and that puts far more stress on my rig than HL2 ever could. Anybody have any ideas?
Ok first thing you should know. Playing a game such as Oblivion is not gonna cut it for stress testing as it will not be pushing the cores nearly hard enough.
I cannot stress the importance to you enough about why you should run P95 with SMALL FFT's for at least 6hrs no errors.
Next thing is I believe you about Oblivion, I also have Vista 64 with all the patches, hotfixes and Nvidias latest betas. The game absolutely flys on my computer now as compared to how it was before.
Next in regards to Half Life 2 I have no issues with my rig overclocked when playing that game, its actually a whole lot faster. If your having trouble with that game it could be the sign of an unstable overclock or a corrupted OS because you have not stressed tested your Overclock with P95 to check for stability.

Mercedes-Benz unveils Blind Spot Assist technology for trucks
September 2, 2014
Trucks today are big and getting bigger, and even with cameras and superior spatial awareness, the operators of these leviathans can never be totally aware of potential collision hazards, especially when turning. To help alleviate this problem, Daimler, the truck division of Mercedes-Benz, has introduced a radar-based system that alerts the truck driver of imminent collision danger from anywhere on the entire unobservable portion of the vehicle.

Volvo has already been bragging about how the XC90 will be the world's cleanest and most powerful SUV. Now it is touting the all-wheel drive, seven-seater's safety features, which will include an auto brake at intersections function and a run-off road protection package – both of which Volvo claims are world firsts.

It was just last week that we heard about how researchers from Nottingham Trent University are looking at embedding heart rate sensors in car seats, to detect when drivers are nodding off. Well, it turns out that they're not the only ones. A consortium of European companies and institutes is developing a similar system known as HARKEN, which uses seat-located sensors to monitor both the driver's heart rate and their rate of respiration. Read More
Falling asleep at the wheel is extremely dangerous both for the driver, and for others sharing the road with them. A team of researchers at Nottingham Trent University are working on a solution to this driving threat. They're doing it with sensors in a car seat that detect the driver's heart rate, and alert the driver if they start dozing off. Read More
There's little doubt that knee airbags serve an important role in automobiles, protecting occupants' knees and shins from hard impacts against the dash in the event of a collision. However, as with any added component, they do take up space within the vehicle. Ford is addressing that factor in its 2015 Mustang, which will feature a passenger-side knee airbag that's built into the existing glove box. Read More
New system to improve pedestrian safety around bus stops
June 26, 2014
Drivers operating city buses have a tough job ensuring the safety of people on the vehicle as well as those outside it. But technology technology is stepping up to overcome the limitations of rear view mirrors, especially concerning children. A new system being tested in Spain is designed to improve bus safety by issuing a warning when a potential risk to pedestrians is detected so the driver can react accordingly, or bringing the bus to a stop if they don't. Read More
Driver drowsiness is a major cause of accidents, so it's not surprising that a variety of technologies have been developed for its detection. Most of these systems require the use of prominent hardware such as eye-tracking cameras, reactive testing devices, or even Google Glass. A team from Washington State University Spokane, however, has developed a system that detects drowsy drivers through inexpensive electronics that monitor movement of the steering wheel. Read More
Three years ago, we first heard about TRW Automotive's new roof-mounted airbag system. At the time, the company claimed that it had a "significant production contract" with an unnamed auto manufacturer, that might see the technology appearing on production vehicles. Now, TRW has announced that the airbags will be standard on the new Citroen C4 Cactus. Read More
As some readers may already know, Volvo recently developed a system that uses an in-vehicle radar system to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians and cyclists on the road in front of them. Now, Germany's Technische Universitaet Muenchen has come up with a system of its own, that can even detect pedestrians that aren't within line of sight of the car. Read More

Magnetic Transistor Could Cut Power Consumption and Make Chips Reprogrammable 126
from the reprogram-ranch-chips-to-sour-cream dept.
one that requires voltage to keep it on, one that requires voltage to keep it off (P channel vs N channel FET's), ones that require current levels to keep it on and off (npn and pnp BJT's)
so to say
"First, keeping the voltage on requires power"
is a broad statement, yea something that uses power requires power
"Second, transistors must be hard-wired into the chips and can't be reconfigured"
well yea, but we have long established configurations of transistors that can be reconfigured to suit needs, its called programable logic and spans the life of PAL's, GAL's, CLPD's, and upto FPGA's
so, what exactly are you trying to tell me other than magnets can drop power consumption since they have a physical state memory, we already know that from core memory.
It's not an optical illusion, it just looks like one. -- Phil White

Boy claims escape from abductors
A 14-year-old boy from Toledo City was turned over to the Fuente police station after he said he "escaped" from kidnappers in Carbon in barangay Ermita, Monday afternoon.
Dindo, (not his real name) is a second year high school student in Toledo City.
He told police that while he was outside his school last Monday morning, two unidentified men abducted him and forced him to ride a black Mitsubishi car with plate number GXB-384.
The purpose of the alleged abduction was not clear.
Cebu Provincial Police Office chief Senior Supt. Partocinio Comendador said the boy may have run away or skipped school and made up the story about being kidnapped as an alibi when he decided to go home.
In a separate interview, the boy's father said his son could not have run away from their home. He said it was a normal day for them when he sent his son to school last Monday morning.
Dindo told police that his hands were tied by three men wearing bonnets in the car which left Toledo city and arrived at Cebu city past 3 p.m. in an area with a big tarpaulin marked "Welcome to Carbon".
About 3 p.m., said Dindo, the kidnappers went out of the car.
This time he managed to untie his hands and escaped and went near ERmita's seasore and later to a donwtown mall.
The high school student said he went to the skywalk near Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) in the evening where he was able to borrow a sidewalk vendor's cellular phone to send text message to his parents about his ordeal.
Dindo said his father later called to tell him that his uncle working in the city would pick him up.
They agreed to meet downtown.
Dindo said he had another companion tied inside the car when he escaped Monday afternoon.The boy's claims will be further investigated, said Senior Inspector Chuck Barandog, chief of the Fuente police station. /Chito O. Aragon, Correspondent with reports from Correspondent Joy Cherry S. Quito
