HP sets labor guidelines in for Chinese suppliers
Friday - 2/8/2013, 3:20pm EST
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's largest personal computer maker, is vowing to crack down on its Chinese suppliers in an effort to reduce the use of low-paid student interns and other temporary workers.
The guidelines unveiled Friday are the latest attempt by a major U.S. technology company to weed out labor abuses at Chinese factories that manufacture the gadgets for an Internet-connected world.
HP, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., said its new standards are meant to ensure that its Chinese suppliers don't lean too heavily on student interns and temporary workers as a way to save money. The company says it wants to protect workers' rights when they are hired.
The new standards come a few months after Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., a major China manufacturer better known as Foxconn, acknowledged it has hired interns as young as 14.
Both HP and Apple Inc., the maker of iPhones, iPads and Mac computers, rely on Foxconn to make some of their products.
Apple, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., also has been trying to reform the labor practices at Foxconn and other Chinese suppliers in recent years in response to scathing criticism about the inhumane treatment of the workers making devices that have become status symbols as well as multi-purpose tools for communicating, reading, watching video and taking pictures.
Among other things, HP said it hopes its rules will prod its Chinese suppliers to employ mostly full-time workers instead of exploiting interns and temporary employees. When interns and temps are used, HP said it will insist they aren't forced to remain on the job against their will and have the right to file grievances. The company also pledged to ensure intern hours are kept well below the legal limit.
To show it is serious, HP intends to review the labor practices at its Chinese suppliers more frequently.
HP is a Silicon Valley pioneer whose late founders, William Hewlett and David Packard, become renowned for their egalitarian policies and generous benefits. The worker-friendly culture that they fostered become known as "The HP Way" -- a template that has steered the views of many other Silicon Valley companies, including Apple, whose late founder, Steve Jobs, once briefly worked at HP.
In recent years, though, HP has alienated some of its 332,000 employees with mass layoffs and other cost-cutting measures aimed at boosting its profits. The company eliminated nearly 18,000 jobs during its past fiscal year.
HP's stock gained 41 cents, or 2. 5 percent, to $16.85 in afternoon trading Friday. They have traded in a 52-week range of $11.35 to $30.

Want to get more out of your workforce? First you have to understand your corporate culture, says Profit Editor in Chief Aaron Lazenby.
"Corporate culture provides a powerful lens through which to view digital disruption," he writes in the February issue of the magazine. "Understanding your organization's culture allows you to see how your team works together to solve problems—and resolve conflict. It means understanding what you should and shouldn't spend money on. It means knowing what excites your workforce and what makes them restless."
In this special report, hear from Oracle Chief Human Resources Officer Joyce Westerdahl and Wendy Cottrell, global HRIS manager for National Instruments, who discuss the cultural aspects of the technology projects they have overseen. Plus, find out about more about what will be happening at Oracle HCM World this March, and more.
Oracle HCM World

How to Achieve Talent Management Excellence in Your Organization
"Fortunately, following a few best practices in human resource management can give HR teams the capabilities they need to effectively attract and retain talent," says Madhur Chaturvedi, director on the Oracle Insight team.
How Can Project-Driven Organizations Get the Most Out of Their Talent?
"To achieve operational excellence and maximize the revenue generated per employee, project-driven organizations need to build a dedicated HR strategy that strikes the right balance between the project's revenue potential and the level of resources and time invested," says Romain Maillart, senior director on the Oracle Insight team.
Persistence of Vision
"We are always looking for better ways to recruit the right people. What have changed are the tools we have at our disposal for finding and engaging them," says Joyce Westerdahl, chief human resource officer at Oracle.
Employees in the Clickstream
"By better segmenting the population and understanding what drives each group's behaviors, CHROs will learn how frequently to communicate and what style of communication works best for each employee category," says Bertrand Dussert, vice president of human capital management transformation at Oracle.
Personal Best
"The more policies and programs you create for flexibility for family and medical leave, and for investing in the health and welfare of people, the more you're going to be able to attract and retain workers," says Leading the Life You Want author Stewart Friedman.
Cloud Culture
New IT infrastructure helps the human resources team at National Instruments support a global expansion.

"Hyperbole is the greatest thing ever" Redsland
P.O.C. - Pride of Cleveland, sold back in the early 70's.
Tasted like chemicals and gave me a wicked headache every time I tried it.
Teach tolerance.
Wiedeman!! 12 packs were 2.99 in the mid 80's during college.
I can no longer drink alcohol for health reasons but was a beer lover in the past. My least favorite macro brewed beers have always been made by Miller. I second the comments about corn and cereal fillers--yuck! After spending a lot of time in the English countryside sampling local brews it was really hard to find any bottled beer that truly satisfied me. Luckily--or unluckily--I don't have that problem anymore.
Honey Brown. We used to drink that stuff in college. It is swill. I sincerely hope they don't make it anymore.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
The new Schlitz they have out is pretty good. Nice Lager.
Sorry if that has been around for a bit, I just noticed it in stores.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
8 packs of 10 ounce beers... GENIUS!!!Wiedemann wasn't much better.
I think the only beer I absolutely cannot drink is Cave Creek Chili Beer. I think I still have nightmares about that one. Why in the world anyone would voluntarily drink a beer with a green chili pepper in it is beyond me.

James MacLagan or McLagan (1728–1805) was a Church of Scotland minister and writer. He was chaplain to the 42nd (Black Watch) Regiment, 1764–1781, including preaching in Gaelic and English at the garrison at Fort Pitt (Pennsylvania),[1] then minister in Amulree. He married the daughter of the translator of the New Testament in Gaelic, James Stuart of Killin. He was author of Spiritual views of the divine government 1831 and other works and corresponded with James Macpherson,[2][3] and was one of Macpherson's sources for the Ossian poems.[4]

The Philadelphia Flyers returned to their standard form last evening against the Buffalo Sabres and Ryan Miller at the Wells Fargo Center. I am still wrapping my head around the explosion of play that took place within the Flyers squad following the first two goals allowed in by Bryzgalov, early in the first.
Bryzgalov, who was been very mediocre in his first season in Philly, allowed fast goals in the first to Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek for the 2-0 lead. Pominville scored off a nice cross-ice pass from Tyler Myers and Vanek's slapper whizzed past Bryzgalov.
It was a rare dose of instant offense for a Sabres team that had scored only 132 goals, 26th in the NHL.
Bryzgalov was booed after letting in Vanek's goal and the Flyers were jeered off the ice into the first intermission.
That was the end of the fun for Buffalo, Jhonas Enroth...and Miller, basically. I do recall saying that Miller may have wanted to watch his mouth following the Boston shutout...maybe the pay back came in Philly.
Wayne Simmonds scored two goals after he was hit in the face in warm-ups and Max Talbot also scored twice, leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a 7-2 victory. He wore a full face shield for protection.
Erik Gustafsson scored his first career NHL goal as part of a four-goal second period for the Flyers, this served as 'bail' for Bryzgalov and the early two goals against.
Jakub Voracek and Scott Hartnell added goals in the third for the Flyers to turn this one into a slaying battle--would have been even sweeter if it was a shutout, but this fan still loved every minute of it.
Claude Giroux contributed to the tally with five assists for the evening.
Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth was yanked after allowing three straight goals. Ryan Miller allowed one to Gustafsson, giving the Flyers four goals on their first 10 shots of the period. Has the carousel landed in Buffalo?
I do recall Miller also being pulled within the first seven minutes of play last season inPhiladelphia, after Hartnell scored the fourth goal in the first period alone. No revenge for Miller this past Thursday evening.
Talbot made it 2-2 when he redirected Braydon Coburn's shot only 54 seconds into the period. Simmonds scored off a rebound for a power-play goal to tie the game, and then put them ahead with his 20th.
Voracek's sweet drop pass to Gustafsson for the goal made it 4-2 and those boos had turned into a roaring ovation from another packed house.
All goals were amazing to witness as this type of explosive play has eluded this team all season; however, the best scoring action transpired when Talbot scored again in the third period--and within seconds flat, the public address announcer was still announcing Talbot's goal--when Voracek fired another shot past Miller that I am still not sure he even saw coming! It did bring me to my feet at home inFlorida.
Hartnell scored his team-high 27th goal and the slaying tally was in full blast.
The Flyers have acquired a prospect I thought might come to town in the Swedish defenseman Nicklas Grossman fromDallas. The deal was made in exchange for a 2012 second-round pick and a 2013 third-round pick. Grossman, 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, has five assists in 52 games this season.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said there is no timetable for van Riemsdyk's return. He has been out a month with a concussion. "I think now it just comes down to how James is feeling and when he feels ready," Holmgren said. This fan is just glad JVR was not the bargaining chip...kid has a lot of potential.
Now with the defense added to...let's return to the Flyers hockey all our fans have come to know and love.
Flyers face the Pens next. The game is slated for: Sat. Feb. 18, 2012 @ 1:00PM at Wells Fargo Center, televised on CSN. Bring on the Pens! GO FLYERS!!!

The 26-year old Spaniard has signed a long-term contract with the Gunners for an undisclosed fee.

Revolution in evolution? The evolution vs. creationism controversy continues to influence public school curriculum.
The famous "Monkey Trial" in 1925, ignited the modern day debate of teaching evolution in public schools. In a Tennessee courtroom, teacher John T. Scopes was convicted of teaching evolution in the classroom, then a violation of state law. The contentious value-ridden debate lay practically dormant, however, until the 1987 U. S. Supreme Court ruling that creationism is a religious belief and cannot be taught in public schools alongside evolution.
That historic ruling, stemming from a court case in Louisiana, subsequently paved the way for adopting new evolution-based science curriculum policies across the nation. Two states recently received national attention when their local school boards voted to modify their science curriculum to offer an alternative explanation to the scientific theory of evolution. Consequently, both the Cobb County School District in Georgia and the Dover Area School District in Pennsylvania are battling it out in court.
In 2002, the Cobb County School District, nestled in the suburbs of Atlanta, adopted the policy of placing disclaimer stickers in 13 middle and high school science textbooks. The disclaimers read: "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."
The stickers originated from Marjorie Rogers, a creationist who collected more than 2,000 signatures that led the school board to adopt the policy.
In response, a handful of parents, along with the American Civil Liberties Union, sued the school district arguing that the stickers promoted religion in public schools and therefore violated the U.S. Constitution's principle of separation of church and state. District Court Judge Clarence Cooper ruled in January that the disclaimers are unconstitutional and ordered the stickers removed at the end of this school year. The judge said that although the disclaimers do not directly mention or support religion, a reasonable person would interpret its message as endorsing religion. He said the religiously motivated stickers imply that the school board condones the beliefs of Christian fundamentalists and creationists. Furthermore, Judge Cooper wrote that muddying the definition of "theory" is dangerous as it misleads students into thinking that the theory of evolution is based on a "hunch" rather than a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world.
The legal battle over the stickers continues as the Cobb County school board decided, by a vote of S-to-2, to appeal Judge Cooper's ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. The school board claims that it is not endorsing religion, but instead encouraging students to think critically in all subject areas.
The Dover Area School District, located in rural south-central Pennsylvania, is thought to be the first school district in the nation to require teachers to read a statement about intelligent design to their high school biology students. Intelligent design is a concept that holds that the universe is so complex, it had to be created by an unspecified guiding force. A portion of the statement reads: Because Danvin's Theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered. The Theory is trot a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence. A theory is defined as a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations. Intelligent Design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People, is available for students who might be interested in gaining an understanding of what Intelligent Design actually involves. With respect to any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind. The school leaves the discussion of the Origins of Life to individual students and their families. As a Standards-driven district, class instruction focuses upon preparing students to achieve proficiency on Standards-based assessments.
The controversy stems from the school board's 6-3 vote last fall to include an alternative to the theory of evolution in the science curriculum.
Two board members resigned and a half dozen families, the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit against the school district. They alleged that presenting the concept of intelligent design in public school science classrooms violated their religious rights by promoting particular religious beliefs to their children under the guise of science education.
Similar to the lawsuit filed against Cobb County, the lawsuit against the Dover district argues that teaching students that there are gaps or problems in the scientific theory of evolution, while failing to present any such gaps in the concept of intelligent design, would ultimately lead students to believe that the theory of evolution is false while implying that the truth lies in the religious beliefs advocated through intelligent design. The lawsuit cites violations to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which calls for the separation of church and state.
The district has run into resistance among teachers and parents alike. Seven teachers signed a letter objecting to the policy on grounds that it violates the professional standards and practices code for teachers. Consequently, the district has agreed to temporarily exempt science teachers from reading the statement. Instead, administrators are reading it to ninth grade biology classes.
Additionally, the district has allowed students whose parents object to the policy to be excused from listening to the statement. The Dover Area School District maintains that the adopted biology curriculum policy does not advance religion, but instead informs students about the existing scientific controversy surrounding the theory of evolution.
Like it or not, public school science curriculum standards are changing. Proponents cite a national trend in restoring moral values and view the evolution-based science curriculum as biased. Critics cite a growing presence of religious voters in politics as the catalyst to placing creationism back into public school science curricula.
In Kansas, those who favor changing the state's science curriculum to include an alternative to evolution, have won a majority on the state Board of Education, again. Kansas reignited the evolution debate when, in 1999, the state Board of Education voted 6-4 to reject evolution as a scientific principle, virtually removing all references to it from the state's science curriculum. The board reversed the policy in 2001, when the membership changed.
With the verdicts from two of the nation's most recent court battles still out, other states are re-examining their science curricula to expose questions about evolution and alternative views. In 1995, Alabama's state board of education approved the nation's first state-sanctioned sticker to be placed in biology textbooks, warning students that evolution is a "controversial theory" that should be questioned. There seems to be no organized effort to oppose the curriculum, which has been revised by a committee of mostly science educators over the past year.
The Ohio Department of Education passed a measure encouraging teachers to hold classes that question the theory of evolution. In Grantsburg, Wis., the school board voted to incorporate a critical approach to evolution, without identifying specific alternatives.
And in legislatures this session, at least nine states have been discussing how to teach evolution in public schools.
Legislators in at least nine states this session have been looking at legislation that relates to teaching evolution in public schools.
* Alabama: Would allow teachers to challenge the scientific validity of the theory of evolution.
* Georgia: Would require teachers to present scientific evidence challenging evolution.
* Kansas: Would promote objectivity in science education.
* Missouri: Would require public school textbooks to have one or more chapters containing critical analysis of origins.
* Pennsylvania: Would allow school boards to add "intelligent design" to any curriculum containing evolution and allow teachers, subject to board approval, to present "supporting evidence deemed necessary for instruction on the theory of intelligent design."
* South Carolina: Would revise how the state selects textbooks and establishes a committee to study the origins of species and determine whether alternatives to evolution should be offered.
Bills in Arkansas, Mississippi and Montana died in committee or were not formally introduced.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1289 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 032750 Dallas 2014 The room was comfortable and the environment was pleasant. The staff were not as responsive as I would have liked. One day I requested wash cloths and they were never delivered. Although the food in the restuarant was good, the service was extremely slow. July 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by James1969 Dallas downtown The hotel was busy and had many people coming and going but it was large enough to accommodate everyone. July 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by golfingirl Corporate Function Suite was fine but hard to keep cold. Event planner was not well informed about certain things because she was sitting in for the person we were suppose to meet with. So, she did not know answers to some key questions. The table clothes on the cocktail tables were oval instead of round and made it hard to tie. Otherwise, everything was great. The work room was in a great location to the room the event was being held. They also accomadated some last minute bar changes. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeeGee56 Stay during National Baptist Congress The following employees deserve extra praise for their help during my stay: J. Wallace, Raven and James(?)-night technician who fixed TV and Air Conditioning. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tom19 This hotel has some great staff. We especially appreciated the man that helped us a couple of times when we were lost or turned around. He did his very best & when we saw him later he asked if we were able to find the place we needed to go. All of the staff were pleasant & helpful but he always had a smile and you could tell he enjoyed his job. Our main problem was the cost of meals. It was more than we could afford. We did get one breakfast delivered. We thought it would be around $20 but all of the fees that were added on brought it up to above $30. The lady that delivered it was cheerful, sweet & helpful. June 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rich14k Smoker ruined it, staff didn't care My first night went pretty well. The room was very nice, except for a lot of internal mechanical noises and a commuter train outside the window. The second night, someone was smoking in a nearby room, and it came right though my vents (especially the one in the bathroom). I was offered the opportunity to switch rooms, but having already been in bed for the night, I decided against moving at that time. A maid came up and sprayed a deodorizer instead. The next morning, the smoker struck again, and again I was told that "security would look into it". When I checked out a few hours later, I urged the staff member not to assign my room to anyone else until the smoker had been identified and my room had been fully fumigated (for the sake of the next guest). The staff member told me there was simply nothing they could do about the situation, and she displayed absolutely no empathy for what I had been through, or for what the next occupant of that room would go through. Although the root cause of the problem had been a rule-breaking guest, I feel the hotel staff could have displayed a lot more sympathy for my plight, and they could have been a lot more aggressive in solving the problem (e.g., they never even sent anyone to my room to inspect how bad the smoke was; also, someone should have a building schematic which identifies which other rooms are directly connected to the same air duct as my room, thereby greatly reducing the number of potential locations of the smoker). Sometimes you just get terrible luck with your neighbors, but you at least expect the hotel personnel to help minimize the damage. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bearSher This hotel had a great number of conference rooms This is a great hotel to attend a convention of any kind/ wedding reception. All employees, regardless of their position/ job were very friendly. The beds/ linens/ pillows set the stage for a very good night sleep. Everything was very clean and the pool & fitness center was excellent. June 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RH53 Shower didn't drain I've stayed a number of times at the property and on two of the last three visits, the showers haven't drained well. The first time I called maintenance and didn't have another problem during the visit. This time was only one night, but appears to be a pervasive problem as a colleague had a problem. I think maintenance needs to start a review of each room.... June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikky99 Overall very pleased with hotel Really nice, comfortable facility and rooms. Registration folks were great as were valets/staff handling luggage. We were treated great by everyone. The room AC acted up one evening and maintenance were very fast and responsive, although the room never cooled to the level I prefer, it remained comfortable. Pricing for breakfast buffet was outrageous, felt like robbery for average quality food. June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlToro Beautiful Hotel, Excellent Service I stayed at the Dallas Sheraton one night, but I wish I stayed there for more. The Hotel premises are beautiful, grand and truly impressive. I was amazed by the large size of the hotel with its multiple towers, large halls, and comfortable rooms. A true Texas landmark.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lynae147 VALET IS A JOKE I can't begin to tell you how disappointing the valet was here. You'd expect them to have it down to a science, but for the girl at the counter to "forget" to give our ticket to valet one day and then "losing" our car the next is ridiculous. I understand it gets busy, but that was beyond crazy. The valet drivers, however, were more attentive to our needs than the personnel inside. Their lack of professionalism caused us to be late to our show 3 times out of the 6 days we stayed there. June 24, 2014

Would not take much to get some of the "fundamentals" right. Otherwise, property could have gotten a good rating. June 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by travlinglight Staff is friendly but the building is crap!! I have stayed at this location twice this year, each time for one week period. I though I was lucky by being put in the north tower this time, but luck was blind. There was electrical issues that left most of my room with out power. This would included my TV and my AC. The staff was friendly in dealing with this issue but because the hotel was over booked, they could not move me to a new room. I fell asleep with the maintenance staff in my room still working around 11:30pm one evening. I am sure they would have read me a bed time story had I requested but I only wanted ac. I woke up around 2:30am in a puddle of my own sweat to find that they couldn't fix my ac and call to the front desk informed me because most of the south tower was with out ac that there wasn't any potable fans available for me. I did survive the night and it was fixed the next day while I was out. My other main issue was the parking garage had issues with my room card and would not let me in or out. June 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Elvis55 This hotel was disappointing From the moment we arrived we were disappointed. From the valet service and doorman, to the A/C not working in our room as well as our floor hallway, to the Club level SPG room being dirty and unattended, it all lacked professionalism. Also the size of the bathroom for that type of hotel was ridiculous. The only thing we found good was the comfort of the beds. However, I will not stay here again. June 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MarkCr Front Desk Check-in was difficult because of lack of experience of staff. Specifically asked for a king bed in a suite. Ended up hauling all of our things up to a very small standard room with 2 queen beds. When I came all the way back down, she blamed the confusion and error on me! June 23, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by Smurf33 Never Cleaned My Room/Resturant Issue This hotel never cleaned my room in the three nights I stayed with them. Also, had dinner with customers and the waiter forgot to place our order after we waited for 30 mins without him coming back. June 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Traveler315 Hotel OK We checked into the hotel with several rooms. One of our room was not cleaned when we got to the room. Called for room service and went to dinner, retuned 2 hours later and room was still not cleaned. We did not get hand towels everyday. We had to call several times in order to get hand towels. June 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by tab2 No security response One night the fire alarm went off on the 35th floor and we all headed down the stairs. There were elderly guests that couldn't make it and I barely did with extreme muscle fatigue. When the alarms stopped there was no announcement to return to our rooms or to notify it was a false alarm. No security personnel was to be found. We returned to our rooms to hear from other guests that kids had pulled the alarm on the 34th floor. No regard was given to the elderly that were having difficulty. I was there for a five week extensive training and felt physically hurt for several days from climbing down the stairs. June 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dfw1 Disappointing 1. The front desk takes forever to answer the phone. 2. I asked for foam pillows, I was told they would check and call me back. No one called back. After 45 minutes I called, they said they had no pillows. 3. My closet door was off the track when I checked in. It took 3 requests to get it repaired. 4. Could the menu in your restaurant be any more limited? I've been staying at your hotel for years for the Lighting Market and the menu has never changed. With very little in walking distance and not wanting to eat in the sports bar, I'd eat in your restaurant if you offered more choices. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Samco confort of hotel I really enjoyed my stay at your hotel. the room was well prepared and clean. The staff was well service oriented. June 17, 2014

A strong response to an essay question that asks the student to discuss a topic critically needs to show some analysis or serious thought about the topic. The essay should not just be a summary of facts.
Critical discussion can take many forms, depending on the specific subject matter. Identifying and talking about opposing sides of an issue is one way to offer a critical discussion, a useful approach for questions about social issues. Another type of critical discussion involves identifying different parts of an argument and showing ways to tie them together. Still another approach is making a useful recommendation or drawing a conclusion based on the evaluation of various relevant facts and arguments.

The June 2008 Second Release (build 220.127.116.117) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI
Yeah - that's right - second release. I had promised myself I wouldn't put out multiple updates in a month as I figured that could get confusing, but there was a regression in the June 2008 release that I had to fix ASAP- output to XML no longer output property values! I lay complete blame on my tester - send your flame mails directly to him.
Here's the change list - see the Issue Tracker on Codeplex for more details, or look at the code:
Randy Byrne and I just published an article in the MSDN showing how to use the Exchange Server Protocols documentation to create a contact. This is the first opportunity I've had to publicly show off the add-in architecture I built in to MFCMAPI last year. Over the next few months, I hope to produce a few more add-ins as we work our way through the protocol documentation. Right now I'm writing a parser for the recurrence blob and it's not as difficult as I thought it'd be. As Randy said in a mail announcing this article: "Long live MFCMAPI!"
Well, that didn't take long. We just released the latest MAPI download this weekend and yesterday we got a case from a customer who's application no longer functioned when they upgraded. The issue was quickly resolved, and I was asked to communicate some of the details in case anyone else runs in to it.
The important detail here is that in order to get Exchange's MAPI to work on Vista and Windows Server 2008, we had to make it work with the MAPI Stub Library. So we installed our binaries under Program Files and set the following registry keys*:
The first key tells the stub library where to find an Extended MAPI implementation called ExchangeMAPI, and the second key tells the stub library that when an application loads it, the default MAPI implementation to which all calls should be directed is ExchangeMAPI. In other words, when you load the stub library, it will in turn load exmapi32.dll.
This is the same as what Outlook does when it's installed - it registers itself and sets the Default key to "Microsoft Outlook".
Now, this customer had a product which had worked for years with either Outlook's or Exchange's implementation of MAPI. Apparently, they had had problems in the past with systems where Outlook was installed, but the default mail client had been set to something else, such as Hotmail. So, to work around this problem, following the advice given in Explicitly Mapping MAPI Calls to MAPI DLLs they wrote a key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\MSMapiApps mapping their application to the "Microsoft Outlook" implementation of MAPI. This worked on machines where Outlook was installed, since there would be a Microsoft Outlook key from which to read DLLPathEx. And on a machine where Exchange's MAPI was installed, since Exchange overwrote the stub library nothing written in any of those keys mattered.
Now, of course, it matters. When they set their application to use "Microsoft Outlook", but Outlook isn't installed, the stub doesn't know where to turn. It can't find the default mail client. It can't just start loading random MAPI binaries, so it turns to it's fallback mechanism, which is to look for MAPI32x.dll. Since that's not there either, it gives up and fails the call to MAPIInitialize.
There's not a perfect workaround here - there's no way to tell the stub that there are two MAPI implementations your application can work with and just use whichever one is available. The simplest solution here is probably to not use the MSMapiApps key and either accept whatever MAPI implementation is the default or load MAPI binaries manually and bypass the stub. The latter is what MFCMAPI does. You could also do some runtime detection of whether "Microsoft Outlook" or "ExchangeMAPI" are listed under the Mail key and set the MSMapiApps key appropriately before loading MAPI. Or, depending on where your application is meant to be installed, pick an implementation of MAPI and insist that it be the one installed with your app. No matter what you choose, this issue illustrates why I stressed to the commenter of my previous post on this update: "The move from system32 to program files is a fairly large and potentially destabilizing move though. You should definitely test your applications with this update."
*64 bit complicates this a bit by redirecting the registry keys. So for those of you playing along at home on a 64 bit box, look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail
The June 2008 Release (build 126.96.36.1996) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI
I've been digging through the protocol docs. This update represents my first pass harvesting the easy stuff, like property names and flag values. I definitely plan to get to the more complex stuff, like recurrence blobs. Some of the work done here was putting in plumbing to make that possible, like consolidating all of the property parsing code into one code path. I've also introduced Smart View, which replaces the Flag column, allowing MFCMAPI to parse more kinds of data automatically. Expect to see this feature expanded greatly as I work my way through the protocol documentation.
The MAPI/CDO download package now works on Windows Server 2008 and Vista. The main blocker to getting this to work was the fact that in Windows Server 2008 and Vista, mapi32.dll was marked as a system file. Any attempt to replace it would be blocked or undone. Exchange's MAPI has always replaced mapi32.dll with its own version, so it couldn't work on those operating systems.
The fix is modify Exchange's MAPI to take advantage of the MAPI Stub Library mechanism. We moved Exchange's MAPI binaries out of system32/syswow64 and placed them under C:\Program Files\ExchangeMAPI ("Program Files (x86)" on a 64 bit machine). We also renamed Exchange's mapi32.dll binary. It's now called ExMAPI32.dll.
Some notes:
Update: Looks like the Ehlo blog picked this up. Welcome Ehlo readers! I was involved in getting this update done, so lemme know if you have any questions.
Jason Henderson, the lead PM for Exchange Web Services, just put up a roadmap for the future of development against Exchange. Key points:
I've been playing with the next release of Exchange Web Services here and I gotta say the updates they have planned are pretty sweet. This API is well on it's way towards being a complete replacement for MAPI.
In case you didn't see this on the Exchange Blog:
Today, we posted the preliminary version of the Exchange Open Protocol docs. Read about them in this press release, or view them directly here. We've also created a forum where these protocols may be discussed and feedback given. I know a bunch of you have been waiting for these. Enjoy!
In the Exchange 2007 SDK, we have an antivirus sample application which really exists to illustrate how to build a Transport Routing Agent and handle events. A few customers had difficulties with this sample, so I wanted to go over how to get is set up and working. At the end of this article you'll find a link to an updated sample which should be much easier to play with.
This sample consists of two projects. The first, AntivirusAgent, is a .Net based DLL that will be installed as the actual transport agent. The second, AntivirusService, is a C++ based EXE which functions as an out of proc COM service to do the real work. The split of work in the sample is arbitrary. It didn't have to use an out of proc COM service. In fact, things would have been much simpler if it didn't. :) Getting the .Net code to speak to the COM service, which has nothing to do with demonstrating how to build a Transport Agent, turned out to be quite tricky to get working.
The first problem I saw with AntivirusService is that it dynamically links to the C++ runtime. This is fine for production code, where you will be deploying the runtime as appropriate with your installer, but for samples it's simpler to statically link. So that's the first thing I changed in the sample.
The next thing I noticed is that the AntivirusService builds for both the Win32 platform and the x64 platform, but only the Win32 platform has a post build event to build the ComInterop.dll that is used for the interprocess communication. So if you were building for and testing with a 64 bit server, you would either not have a ComInterop.dll at all, or you'd have one but it would be 32 bit. So the second thing I changed was to add a post build step for the 64 bit build.
The third thing I changed was to clean up the install/uninstall powershell scripts. They assumed the sample would be built on the machine it would be tested on, a bad assumption, and they also failed to register the COM service correctly. Cleaning these scripts up a bit meant fewer manual steps as I built and rebuilt the project.
The fourth change I made was to the way the sample updated headers. The sample was using GetMimeReadStream and GetMimeWriteStream to read the MIME message and rewrite it. However, GetMimeReadStream apparently doesn't always return the MIME stream of the full message. Maybe that's a bug in GetMimeReadStream - maybe not - I didn't investigate as that wasn't really the point of the sample. So I commented out the code that wrote the stream back and instead used the HeaderList class to add a header.
With these changes, I had a functioning sample that could communicate to an out of proc service and write headers back to the mail. It worked (for me) on both 32 and 64 bit Exchange 2007 servers. So I sent the updated sample off to some customers and awaited their kudos. Unfortunately, none of them could get the updated sample to work either. Every time AntivirusAgent tried to call the BeginVirusScan function, which was implemented by AntivirusService, it would get a 0xC0000005 access violation.
What went wrong? After much back and forth, we finally isolated the problem to the .tlb they were generating from the .idl files included in the sample. ComInterop.idl contained this line:
HRESULT _stdcall BeginVirusScan([in] IComCallback* callback);
But when we use OleView to examine the .tlb being generated by midl.exe, we saw this:
HRESULT _stdcall BeginVirusScan([in] IComCallback** callback);
Note the double star. As Harry said to Lloyd, you can't double star a single star. At least, that's how I remember the line. Anyway, when this .tlb is used to marshal calls from one process to another, this extra level of indirection will result in an AV.
It turns out midl.exe has a problem importing an .idl that looks like this:
library MyInterfaces
interface IMyOtherInterface;
interface IMyInterface : IUnknown {
HRESULT _stdcall DoSomething1([in] IMyOtherInterface* lpParam);
interface IMyOtherInterface : IUnknown {
HRESULT _stdcall DoSomething2();
With both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008, if you import that .idl file into anther, then use midl to build a .tlb file, the resulting .tlb (as viewed with OleView) will sometimes have an extra star on the definition of DoSomething1. I've passed this bug along to the Visual Studio team and hope to hear back from them soon. Meanwhile, fixing our sample not to hit this problem is a simple matter of changing the order of the interface definitions.
Overall - getting the sample to work only required a few targeted changes. For those who would like to play with the sample but don't want to have to fix it first, I've put all my changes up for download: http://stephengriffin.members.winisp.net/AntiVirus/antivirus.zip
[Edit] BTW - I want to give credit where credit is due - Stan Miasnikov at PhatWare.com is the one who tracked the MIDL problem down to the forward declaration. I had to make sure I had his OK before mentioning him here.
The April 2008 Release (build 22.214.171.1245) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI
[This is now documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee201126(EXCHG.80).aspx ]
Those of you wrapping PSTs may see something interesting in the restrictions Outlook 2007 will try to set against your folders. There are a couple of new restriction types you won't have seen before. Outlook will only use these restriction types when it's working with stores it knows supports them (like a PST), so in general you can ignore them and just pass the restriction on to the underlying store. However, if you're trying to make a copy of the restriction structure for some later use, then you need to know what they look like in memory.
Here are the definitions of the two new restriction types:
#define RES_COUNT ((ULONG) 0x0000000B)
#define RES_ANNOTATION ((ULONG) 0x0000000C)
The layout in memory of the associated restrictions is the same as some existing types, which should make parsing them for the purposes of copying easier. RES_COUNT is identical to RES_NOT and RES_ANNOTATION is identical to RES_COMMENT, so to copy a restriction of type RES_COUNT, you can use the resNot member of the union, and for RES_ANNOTATION you can use the resComment member. As an example, we look at how we would fix up MFCMAPI's HrCopyRestrictionArray function. We can take advantage of our existing code by just adding the new cases to the switch. This works since the structures involved are identical:
HRESULT HrCopyRestrictionArray(
LPSRestriction lpResSrc, // source restriction
switch (lpResSrc[i].rt)
case RES_NOT:
case RES_COUNT:
if (lpResSrc[i].res.resNot.lpRes)
case RES_COMMENT:
case RES_ANNOTATION:
if (lpResSrc[i].res.resComment.lpRes)
The next update to MFCMAPI will have these changes (and more) in it.
Back when Outlook 2003 shipped, we were looking for ways to reduce the number of calls we made to the server. One optimization we found was to include the FQDN of the server in the entry ID for an Exchange store. In some situations, this eliminated the need to call back to the server to get a referral. However, this also had two side effects:
Now - technically, 2 shouldn't be a concern because we all know you're supposed to use CompareEntryIDs when comparing entry IDs (hence the name of the function). However, wouldn't it be nice if you could get the old style entry ID for scenarios where you're space constrained, or want to avoid the potentially expensive CompareEntryIDs call? Now you can. Whenever you want to ask for PR_STORE_ENTRYID, you can ask for PR_STORE_ENTRYID_EMSMDB_V1 instead. It's defined as follows:
#define PR_STORE_ENTRYID_EMSMDB_V1 PROP_TAG(PT_BINARY, 0x65f6)
This will return the "old style" entry IDs that we used to use back in Outlook XP. They're still valid now, though using them to open a mailbox may incur some additional RPCs if a referral is required. Also note that while you can memcmp two of these style entry IDs to see if they're equal, you should not interpret a difference to mean they point at different mailboxes. To determine that they're truly different you'd still need to use CompareEntryIDs.
Some other things to keep in mind: If you're in cached mode, to ask for PR_STORE_ENTRYID_EMSMDB_V1 you have to bypass the cache using MAPI_NO_CACHE in your GetProps call. Also, in case the property isn't available, your code should fall back to PR_STORE_ENTRYID. Finally, only Outlook 2003 and higher's version of MAPI supports this property.
I picked up a case a few weeks ago that had a simple question in it. "Are MAPI's profile APIs thread safe?" My answer, of course, was "As far as I know - why do you ask?". The reason they asked was because they had built a framework to encapsulate all of their MAPI operations (a very good idea) and they were seeing "issues" when they ran the profile configuration portion of that framework through their multithreaded test harness.
At first, I had a little trouble pinning down what they meant by "issues" - did they mean hangs? Crashes? Random error codes? Actually - it was all of the above. I got some dumps and traces from them and found 2-3 distinct problems with the way MAPI and some of the providers behave in an non thread safe manner during profile configuration/deletion. When I started running my own tests, I found a few more.
Now - I've always understood MAPI and the providers we ship to be thread safe. Sure, there are the occasional issues, but we usually can fix them. We go to a lot of trouble to make sure MAPI behaves correctly across multiple threads. But apparently all of this work, and all of our testing, was under the assumption that the profiles had already been created. I dug back through records of cases I had worked as well as bugs which have been filed against MAPI and found only one case where someone had configured profiles from multiple threads. And on examining that case, I saw that it was from the days before we routinely had multiple processors. Most of the threading issues I was seeing would be much harder to reproduce on a single processor.
I took the list of issues we found back to development to see what they thought we should do about this. The issues we found were in both Outlook and Exchange's implementation of MAPI (they predate the split), meaning we had a long road ahead of us if we started fixing the problems. And even if we assume we fixed every issue we found, we were certain to find that those issues were hiding other, nastier issues.
So we decided that the best course of action here would be to declare MAPI's profile API's not to be thread safe. All MAPI profile configuration should be serialized. This applies to both Exchange and Outlook's implementations of MAPI and all versions, including the MAPI download.
Here are the APIs you'll need to serialize as a MAPI client:
If you're just looking to use MFCMAPI to get in to the RSG, head on over to Jesper Bernle's blog where he gives step-by-step instructions. Otherwise, read on.
I promised I'd talk about accessing the Recovery Storage Group (RSG). The RSG is a neat trick we allow starting in Exchange 2003 where you can restore a copy of a database in your production environment without taking your user's mailboxes offline. This allows you to recover e-mails, archive, run discovery, etc. The concept is discussed in depth here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824126
Up until the February 2008 update to MFCMAPI, though, you couldn't use MFCMAPI to get into the RSG. In fact, a lot of people were convinced that MAPI couldn't be used to access the RSG at all! Of course, that can't be true, given that ExMerge, which is written entirely in MAPI, has no trouble getting in there. A customer asked Dave and I what the trick is, and that led to this article.
Let's look at what happens when you try to get into an RSG mailbox from MFCMAPI. Assuming you've read Jason's blog on the subject, you might try the following steps:
Sounds great. Doesn't work. When you open the RSG mailbox this way, you get the regular mailbox instead. Why? Because when you do this, MFCMAPI grabs the DN of the mailbox from the PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS column and passes that to CreateStoreEntryID. And PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS for the regular mailbox is the same as the PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS for the RSG mailbox, so we're always going to create the same entry ID.
So how does ExMerge it do it? Is it using secret magic? Yep! It goes through a very complicated procedure to build a MAPI profile that points to the RSG. However, all that work really results in an entry ID that has special flags set on it to tell Exchange that the mailbox we want to open isn't the regular mailbox but instead the RSG version of the mailbox.
I *could* go into the stuff that ExMerge does in building its profile, but it turns out getting into the RSG is much easier than that. Those flags set on the entry ID that ExMerge got can be set by hand using the ulFlags parameter of CreateStoreEntryID! And since using CreateStoreEntryID is always preferable to building a new profile, that's all I'll talk about here. :)
Here's the key flag, already listed in edkmdb.h:
#define OPENSTORE_RESTORE_DATABASE ((ULONG)0x00100000)
When you set this flag, it tells emsmdb32 and the Exchange store you're interested in getting the RSG version of the mailbox. Of course, life isn't ever this simple. You have to set some other flags too, most notably OPENSTORE_USE_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE, which tells the store you want to be treated as an administrator, assuming you have permissions. I have found the following cocktail to work the best:
OPENSTORE_OVERRIDE_HOME_MDB | OPENSTORE_HOME_LOGON = 0x10001D
Now we see what the new feature I added to MFCMAPI allows you to do - instead of double-clicking on the mailbox in the table, we can right click and pick "Open with Flags", enter the flags we wish to use (0x10001D) and we're in like Flynn!
[Update: 2/18 - add note clarifying this is Exchange's MAPI only]
[Update: 6/20 - Added link to Jesper's excellent how to article that puts this information into practice]

There's a full transcript of this video report out in the tall grass.
This report is already more than a week old, so it seems like news about the 1st drill test should break any day now.
Here is a brief recap of the mission so far. After a circus act arrival at Bradbury Landing in August, NASA's plucky Mars rover has gradually traversed thousands of meters of rugged terrain while moving toward the most interesting local geologic feature nearby, as seen from our orbiting observatory. Along the way the team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have unlimbered, cleaned and tested the remarkable array of optical, analytical, mechanical and other robotic features on NASA's car sized, largest ever Martian Rover. After fortuitously landing on and discovering an ancient riverbed, the first ever discovered on another planet, the Mars Science Laboratory has fully observed and measured the appearance, chemistry and mineralogy, radiology, weather and virtually every other imaginable measurable feature of the rover's surroundings every step along the way.
At the intersecting of different geological features originally called Glenelg by NASA, the rover has descended into an area provocatively named Yellowknife Bay, possibly part of the shore of some ancient Martian lake or sea. A large veined rock is the target of the drill which can examine deep into the rock's interior.
We are about to learn a lot more about what was happening on Mars when her surface bore liquid water.
For all of my Mars diaries and all things Mars on Daily Kos go to Kossacks on Mars.
Hi. I am Justin Maki and I am the Engineering Camera Team Lead on the Mars Science Laboratory Mission and a member of the MSL Science Camera Team, and this is your Curiosity Rover Report. .
The Rover has been investigating the Yellowknife Bay area as part of an effort to pick the exact location of our first drill activity on Mars. The images being returned by Curiosity show a diverse collection of interesting features including sedimentary rocks, pebbles, cracks, nodules and veins.
The vein features are seen as a bright white material and we see them just about everywhere we look in Yellowknife Bay. The ChemCam instrument has found that these veins contain elevated levels of calcium sulfate, likely in the form of bassenite or gypsum. Gypsum veins are also seen here on Earth are are associated with water percolating through cracks in fractured rocks.
The exciting news from all of this analysis is a candidate site where Curisoity will conduct its first drilling activity. This site is located only a few meters away from the rover's current location and lies in a flat area suitable for drilling. The team hopes to drill directly into one of the veins, place t he powder into the SAM and CheMin analytical instruments. These instruments will give us detailed information about the composition of the material. We'll be driving over there in the next few days. On our way over to the drill site, we're planning on using the rover's wheels to crush some of the nearby veins and examine the freshly broken material. This image from Sol 135 shows an example of how the rover can break open soft rocks with its wheels, revealing the freshly exposed material
I'm Justin Maki and this has been your Curiosity Rover Report. Check back for more reports.

I just got done reading Al's update and was wondering if anyone knew what this new daytime parade was going to be like next year?
I think it's awesome we're getting a new parade, but I find it odd they're doing it a year before Disneyland celebrates their 55th anniversary. Is this new parade next year going to be the parade they use for the 55th party?
Thanks for any info someone can provide. :)

Friday And-1 links: Video of World Peace taking his talents to bed
Apr 27, 2012, 7:11 PM EDT
Here is our daily look around the NBA — links to stories worth reading and notes to check out (stuff that did not get its own post here at PBT) — done in bullet point form. Because bloggers love bullet points.
• Metta World Peace posted that video on his Web site. I pass it along without snarky comment.
• Knicks center Tyson Chandler did not practice with the team Friday due to flu-like symptoms, and coach Mike Woodson said he didn't expect Chandler to play in the game one against Miami. You want to bet on that? Still, Chandler not at 100 percent could be a problem for New York.
• Thursday could have been Ben Wallace's last NBA game. Which would be sad. If it is he went out in a fitting way.
• Carlos Delfino has a "significant tear" to his groin muscle, which will require surgery.
• How LeBron James took his game to the next level.
• Celtics GM Danny Ainge says that Doc Rivers told him privately he thought this team could come together and contend.
• There were times in his youth Kevin Durant almost gave up basketball.
• Tony Allen is going to be key for Memphis against the Los Angeles Clippers, guarding Chris Paul for key stretches. Here is an interesting Q&A with Allen.
• Nets fans are looking for any reason to believe that Deron Williams will stay with the team. I'd be more optimistic if I were a Mavs fan.
• Shannon Brown wants a multi-year deal to stay in Phoenix.
• The Pistons new owner says his team is making the playoffs next year. The Pistons were the best of the NBA's bad teams this year, but that is still quite a leap to the playoffs.
• Toronto picked up the option on the third year of coach Dwane Casey. Good move. He really got as much out of that Toronto roster as could be expected. I'll say now the Raptors are a team I think takes a big step forward next season.
• Robin Lopez is looking at his options, he likes it in Phoenix but wants a bigger role (and the center role there belongs to Marcin Gortat).
• Don't be surprised if the Cavaliers make a run this summer at Omer Asik, the Bulls backup center who is a restricted free agent.
• A 104-year-old Spurs fan sees her first game in person.
• Timberwolves GM David Kahn assumes he will make a trade or two this summer. You can write your own joke for that one.
• One of those Timberwolves trades could be for Kevin Martin.
• A Q&A with Golden State's just demoted GM Larry Riley.
• Quietly, teams are already starting to line up players for their Summer League teams. Here are some from Orlando.

Thanks. Good logic.
IMHO, I won't use 147 grain XTP's in my G26 and MK9 because they seem to require higher velocities.
But, can I buy reloading components for the 147 grain Rangers?
If not, I'm left wondering what 147 grain JHP I can load myself?
Silvertips and Golden Sabers come to mind.
Any suggestions?
Yes, I can buy a box of the ammo I choose to carry, but I'd like to put a lot of my own reloads through the gun to make sure my gun feeds that bullet perfectly.

Hogie and Connie just celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary and are blessed with 4 children and 15 grand children. Hogie works as a builder with his own company called HISBIZ and Connie as a realtor with TrailsWest Realty in Bigfork, MT. We love our family and feel so blessed to live in the most beautiful place on this planet.
Harold Hogan purchased this house in 2007
We built this custom home on property that is able to give capture the beauty of lake and mountain views and the special Montana sunrises that are literally breathtaking most every morning. You have the feel of flying since it is situated 800 feet above the lake level.
The home was exactly as the description says and looks like the pictures posted! Felt at home! The property was mowed and the home very clean! The owner was very helpful and explained things to us well! Would definitely recommend this property! It was beautiful!
Our stay included four young families. The yard was a great place for the kids to run and play. The deck had fantastic views of the lake. The pool was great. A great stay!!
A beautifully built house with views of flathead lake. The owners were super helpful ! We enjoyed with our kids the little wading pool, as well as jaunts into glacier park, the Americana museum in Polson as well as the national bison range!
Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this awesome home. It has a breathtaking view of the mountains and FLathead Lake. The house itself was very beautiful. It was extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The owner Hogie was a very pleasant person to work with.
Our grandchildren loved swimming in the wading pool on the premises. We all enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings. It was very peaceful and every night a buck, deer, and triplet fawns roamed the yard. The house is located close to the lake, restaurants, and shopping. It was just a short drive to the Glaciers which are also breathtaking. This was a trip of a lifetime for our family. We would highly recommend this home to others!
We spent a week in this lovely home with our family celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, it was everything it said it was and more, we enjoyed the quite of the woods, saw wildlife and great views of the mountains and Flathead Lake. This was a very lovely home and property very clean and maintained, we had a few question and called the owner right away and they got back to us in record time. Also I left some items behind and when I called they were happy to mail them to me. Once again we had a wonderful time and would recommend this property to others that would like to get away to a quite and beautiful property.
We recently stayed here for a family reunion with 10 family members. The home was beautiful, and the views were amazing! The house had plenty of room for our family and we enjoyed many evenings down by the fire pit. The house was very clean and the garbage was picked up daily. The photos of the house were identical to the site. The house was easy to find, and less than 10 minutes away from the large city of Kalispell. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! We saw many birds, deer, and wild turkeys!
Flathead Lake is the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi and known as a boaters paradise for both the sailing enthusiast or motorized party. We are located just one hour from the entrance of Glacier National Park. This is a photographer's paradise. Hiking is a top recreational sport with numerous trails in every direction. We are known for top notch fly fishing as well as white water rafting down our crystal blue rivers. The valley is home to music and art festivals almost every weekend and if a night of fine dining and live theater is an interest be certain to put Whitefish and Bigfork on your list to visit. If you are here for a week or a month you will find the supply of activities to be endless.

Many UK doctors give useless drugs, treatments
Brown said doctors weren't obligated to use the word "placebo" when prescribing the treatment. He said doctors should just be honest with patients and suggested they tell them the pill has no medication in it but might still somehow help.
Some patients found it hard to believe doctors would ever give them a placebo treatment, including pills or an unnecessary exam, without telling them. Alex Tellaie, who brought his son to a north London medical clinic, was doubtful his doctor would be dishonest.
"Doctors in this country don't do that," said Tellaie, 42, a private driver. "I trust the doctor to give my son what he needs."
Others said they would be willing to take a placebo, but only if they knew in advance.
"I wouldn't be too happy to take something without knowing what it is and what it might do," said Nick Christophi, a railway worker. "But if the doctor says there's a chance that it could work, I would probably be willing to give it a go."
