[0001] 1. Field of invention
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of providing process data to a client, such as for monitoring an Industrial Automation System.
[0003] 2. Related Information
[0004] Remote monitoring and control of systems and processes have taken many forms. In the past, dedicated lines became the most common form of communication between a Control System and a remote location. Even today, many industry systems prefer to employ dedicated lines because they are secure, meaning that sensitive data, such as proprietary Industrial software code, is not at risk of being intercepted by competitors, and they are reliable, since there are less problems with connectivity and redundancy, for example, in such a direct connection.
[0005] For all of the advantages of the dedicated line, this method of connection has limited application because the Control System is, for one thing, not accessible from multiple locations. For this reason, amongst others, Industrial technologists have explored the use of Modems to make access to the Control System possible from different locations While Modems appear to solve the problem of remote connectivity, the actual reality is that these types of systems are much too unreliable, particularly in the Industrial field where information transmission is critical to a manufacturing process, for example. As a result, the practical use of Modems is generally restricted to downloading and uploading data files. In other words, providing any type of control function between locations is rather limited in this type of environment. Further, an end user generally required a customized interface to access the Control System.
[0006] With the explosion and subsequent growth of the Internet, the World Wide Web provides a promising, delivery platform that offers an opportunity for organizing and providing Internet data. The Web, a network of documents called sites or pages stored on server computers throughout the world, could provide access any Industrial system anywhere. Moreover, it is conceivable, for example, that data could be sent via hypertext links, for example, on a client server system. In this manner it is possible that a system could b provided that will, not only provide remote access for Industrial systems, but also give each end user the same degree of a user friendly interface with the same universal access to services on the Web.
[0007] However, the solution of remote access is not as easily implemented as that. Each Web page usually contains Text, i.e., some type of Multimedia offerings such as Graphic Images, Video, or Audio, and possible Hypertext Links to other documents. And that is an oversimplification of the media needed to support a client server Web Page. In addition, a Browser is required to allow a user to read the pages and interact with the choices associated with it. Normally, the Browser is a graphical software program that sends commands to the Internet Web site and displays whatever information is available on the page. While various Browser programs are commercially available from different manufacturers, it is too simplistic to expect that merely launching a Browser will solve all the connectivity problems and protocol issues required to, for example, access data and control remote Industrial Controllers.
[0008] A particular example that frustrates the use of the Internet Network for Critical Applications, such as in the Industrial Control Industry, is that the Internet is based on the fundamental concept of connecting multiple hubs together to form a network of access. Thus, a single Internet Server may handle thousands of general purpose computer connections at a moment through a single connection. The problem with this philosophy, while practical for broadband communication to remote sites, therefore, is that the Internet has no innate ability to differentiate traffic in terms of its purpose or the criticality of its data. Indeed, TCP/IP (Transfer Communication Protocol/Internet Protocol) is based on the Ethernet Protocol developed at Xerox Park, mostly to the credit of Robert Metcalfe, and Ethernet dices the data to be transmitted into packets that are often jammed together with packets from other sources of data to form a transmission stream. The Internet is no longer a network of computers that often shares a single transmission connection
[0009] To compound the problem, the Web may be interconnected or may be set up as a point to point link, such as in peer to peer communication. The Internet may, as well, involve both general purpose stations and specialized infrastructure components. For example, there are routers and firewalls that need to be dispensed with. These and other hardware and firmware issues need to be resolved.
[0010] Another fundamental principal of the Internet is that the type of personal computer or work station used by the end user to connect to the Web is typically of no regard to the Internet. Communication over the Internet and other networks accepts one of several types of protocols. Protocols such as Internet Protocol (IP) provide for file transfers, electronic mail, and other services. However, in specialized applications, such as Industrial Networks, it is possible that special provisions are required at the user end to interface with the user.
[0011] On the other side of the Industrial Connectivity issue, are the Programmable Logic Controllers. These are widely used in Industry and Process Control. Many manufacturers provide factory automation information using Microsoft Windows™ and other systems providing communication networking capabilities. However, these networks are usually slow, are not universally accessible and are limited to monitoring and data exchange.
[0012] Control may be implemented using such netowrks, but since the communication networks are non-deterministic, control is simply not in real time. Perhaps, specialized Industrial Network Systems using proprietary Fieldbus alternatives, but these can be very expensive. For one thing, conversion products are required to allow information carried over those networks to be visible on a general purpose network. Moreover, there are significant installation and other deployment costs associated with the existence of such intermediate devices. Firewalls between the Web server and the application are designed to solve problems of security and are not designed for high performance.
[0013] U.S. Pat. No. 6,061,603 discloses an Interface between an Industrial Control System and a Web Browser is known. This System is explained by making reference to FIG. 1.
[0014]FIG. 1 shows an overview block diagram of a typical system illustrating the relationship between a user 2 at a remote location and an Internet Web site 4 used for monitoring a Process Control System 6. The user 2 will have a personal computer (PC) 8 having a commercially available Browser 10, such as Netscape Communication's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer, installed for viewing the contents at the Web site 4 by a monitor 12.
[0015] The PC provides a remote Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to the process Control System 6. Various interconnection services are readily available to provide the physical and electrical interconnection from the PC to the Internet 14 itself. The Internet 14 is a collection of independent world wide communication networks that are interconnected to each other and function as a single connectionless entity.
[0016] Communication is based on a client-server basis, using a number of established protocols that allow for communication and file transfers between the client and the server. The most widely used protocol is Internet Protocol (IP).
[0017] The Web site 4 includes a network interface 16 having an unique Internet address 18, a server 20, and an application program 22. The server 20 acts as the HTTP interpreter which uses TCP in conjunction with IP, through TCP/IP stack 24 to interact with the network interface 16 and the application program 22.
[0018] This enables the data transfer between the application program 22 and the user 2 through the Internet 14. The application program provides data from the process Control System 6. This data can be used to monitor the control process by the user 2 at the remote location. The TCP/IP stack 24 enables data transfers over the Internet 14 between the user 2 and the Web site 4 as required for the various layers specified by the IP protocol.
[0019] The user 2 can connect to the Internet 14 using one of a number of Internet service providers and will enter the address of the Web site 4 when connected. The Web site 4 will display a home page which may contain text, some type of multimedia offerings such as graphic images, video, or audio, and possible hypertext links to other documents.
[0020] The Browser 10 will allow the user 2 to read the page and interact with the choices associated with it. The Browser 10 will send commands to the Web site 4 which will use the application program 22 to display whatever information is available from the process Control System 6. The Browser 10 functions as a remote human-machine interface or HMI control of the process Control System as will be detailed below.
[0021] Another prior art approach is OLE for Process Control (OPC).
[0022] At a high level, an OPC server is comprised of several objects: the server, the group, and the item. The OPC server object maintains information about the server and serves as a container for OPC group objects. The OPC group object maintains information about itself and provides the mechanism for containing and logically organizing OPC items.
[0023] The OPC Groups provide a way for clients to organize data. For example, the group might represent items in a particular operator display or report. Data can be read and written. Exception based connections can also be created between the client and the items in the group and can be enabled and disabled as needed. An OPC client can configure the rate that an OPC server should provide the data changes to the OPC client.
[0024] There are two types of groups, public and local (or 'private'). Public is for sharing across multiple clients, local is local to a client. There are also specific optional interfaces for the public groups. Within each Group the client can define one or more OPC Items.
[0025] The OPC Items represent connections to data sources within the server. An OPC Item, from the custom interface perspective, is not accessible as an object by an OPC Client. Therefore, there is no external interface defined for an OPC Item.
[0026] All access to OPC Items is via an OPC Group object that "contains" the OPC item, or simply where the OPC Item is defined. Associated with each item is a Value, Quality and Time Stamp. The value is in the form of a VARIANT, and the Quality is similar to that specified by Fieldbus.
[0027] Note that the items are not the data sources—they are just connections to them. For example, the tags in a Control System exist regardless of whether an OPC client is currently accessing them. The OPC Item should be thought of as simply specifying the address of the data, not as the actual physical source of the data that the address references.
[0028] An OPC application comprises COM (Communication Objects Model) or DCOM (Distributed Communication Object Model) objects and interfaces implemented by OPC servers.
[0029] The distributed component objects model (DCOM) is a protocol that enables software components to communicate directly over a network.
[0030] DCOM is an extension of the Component object Model (COM). COM defines how components and their clients interact. This interaction is defined such that the client and the component can connect without the need of any intermediary system component. In today's operating systems, processes are shielded from each other. A client that needs to communicate with a component in another process cannot call the component directly, but has to use some form of interprocess communication provided by the operating system. COM provides this communication in a transparent fashion: It intercepts calls from the client and forwards them to the component in another process. When client and component reside on different machines, DCOM replaces the local interprocess communication with a network protocol.
[0031] Network connections are inherently more fragile than connections inside a machine. Components in a distributed application need to be notified if a client is not active anymore, even—or especially—in the case of a network or hardware failure.
[0032] DCOM uses a pinging protocol to detect if clients are still active. Client machines send a periodic message. DCOM considers a connection as broken if more than three ping periods pass without the component receiving a ping message. If the connection is broken, DCOM decrements the reference count and releases the component if the count has reached zero. From the pont of view of the component, both the benign case of a client disconnecting and the fatal case of a network or client machine crash are handled by the same reference counting mechanism.
[0033] With DCOM, any component can be both a provider and a consumer of functionality. The same mechanism and features manage communication in both directions, making it easy to implement peer-to peer communication, as well as client/server interactions.
[0034] In more recent work DCOM is replaced by a more loosely coupling between client and server through messages being sent from clients to server and vice versa.
[0035] Although message based communication is used a lack of flexibility and a lack of extensibility is a common disadvantage of the above described prior art approaches. For example if one of the software components is modified or if a new functionality is added the other components which interact with that component need to be adapted correspondingly.
[0036] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide for an improved method of providing process data to a client, and to provide for a corresponding computer program product as well as improved server and client computers of an Industrial Automation System.
[0037] The object of the invention is solved by applying the features laid down in the respective independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.
[0038] The present invention is particularly advantageous in that it provides for a flexible, open and extensible communication means for client-server communication in an Industrial Automation System. This enables to modify and/or to add functionality to a server or client application without having to change or adapt other system components. This is made possible by the usage of mark up languages like XML or SGML or a similar mark up language as a transport and control format for the client-server communication.
[0039] In the following parts of this document the term "XML type message" is used for a document or text or message or parameter containing information formulated using a markup language like XML, SGML or alike. The term "XML-type" is used as an adjective to specifiy that a text, document, message or parameter is formatted according to a markup language like XML, SGML or other markup languges which enable a structuring of information.
[0040] The term "protocol" is used for a defined, specified or standardised sequence of messages, documents, function-calls or method-calls from a client to a server and vice versa.
[0041] Extensible means that a client or server can add additional data or meta data to a request or response without breaking compatibility with the protocol.
[0042] In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention the client computer directs a more or less unspecific request for runtime process data to a server of the Industrial Automation System. In response to this request the server determines the structure and the kind of process data to be provided to the client e.g. according to the request and the state or capabilities of the server.
[0043] A server application generates an XML type document with meta data being a description of the structure and/or meaning of the data being sent and containing the process data itself. This XML type document is sent to the client computer and is interpreted by an application program of the client computer. It is an important advantage that the content and/or structure of the data contained in the response message is not defined or is only partly defined by the requesting client. Rather, it is defined dynamically by the server both in structure as well as in content.
[0044] Furthermore it is possible, that the data contained in the response message and described by the meta data of the response message can itself be a text formulated using a markup language like XML and adding another level of flexibility and extendability.
[0045] In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention the client computer makes the unspecific request mentioned above in the form of an XML type messsage.
[0046] In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention the client computer makes a more specific request in the form of an XML type messsagewhich contains a subscription condition for process data.
[0047] For example if a subscription condition is met a refresh operation is to be performed and an XML type response message shall be sent. In principle any condition can be coded into the XML type message provided by the client to the server. Typical conditions are a certain cycle time for the data refresh or a change of a process parameter or parameters.
[0048] Alternatively or in addition in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention the XML type message from the client can also contain (meta) data which is a description or specification (e.g. a structure) of the process data to be provided by the server. This description or specification is extendible and open i.e. not fully specified in the specification of the access protocol. This enables that specific clients can formulate their own description or specification without braking the specification of the protocol and therefore being more flexible.
[0049] The server computer provides an acknowledgement to the client computer in which it informs the client if it can fulfil the specification contained in the request document provided by the client computer. If the contrary is the case this is also signalled to the client computer. In one embodiment the client computer modifies the specification contained in the XML document and sends a new XML document to the server computer until an acceptable XML document has been "negotiated" between the client and the server.
[0050] In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention the server communicates to the client the specifications which it can support in form of a part of an XML type message. Based on this server information the client formulates the specifications contained in the XML type data request message. This can be done by selecting a subset of the specification supported by the server on the client side.
[0051] In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention a certain set of specifications is standardized. Additional customer or manufacturer specific specifications can be added.

[0053]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an Industrial Automation System of the invention,
[0054]FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating the client-server communication in accordance with the present invention,
[0055]FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the client server communication in accordance with the present invention,
[0056]FIG. 5 is illustrative of the method of the invention,
[0057]FIG. 6 is illustrative of another the method of the present invention.
[0058]FIG. 2 shows an Industrial Automation System 26 with one or more clients 27. Each of the clients 27 has a Browser program 28 and storage 29 for storing of an HTML document or another representation of the client GUI. The HTML document can be permanently stored on each client 27 or it can be loaded via network 30, such as the Internet, from a server 31. A monitor 32 is connected to the client 27 for visualizing the process being performed by the Industrial Automation System.
[0059] The client 27 is connected via bus 33 to one or more server components 34, such as a programmable process Control System 35, intelligent devices 36 and others. Each of the server components 34 can act as a server when addressed by the client 27.
[0060] In the implementation of FIG. 3 the client 27 has an application 37 for sending a request to a server 38. Each of the server components 34 of FIG. 2 can take the role of server 38, for example Process Control System 35 or devices 36.
[0061] The server 38 normally has an application 39 to generate an XML type message 40 and to send the XML type message 40 to the client 27.
[0062] In operation the application 37 generates an unspecific request for runtime process data from the server 38. When this request is received by the application 39, the application 39 determines the kind of data to be provided to the client 27.
[0063] The program logic of the application 39 can decide to select all up-to-date process data or a subset of the process data to communicate these process data to the client 27. Further, the application 39 determines a data structure for communicating this process data to the client 27. Based on this, the application 39 generates the XML type message 40 which contains the meta data and the process data itself. This XML type message is interpreted by the client application 37. For example, this allows application 37 to generate a display to visualize the process data for the user.
[0064]FIG. 4 shows an alternative implementation where the same reference numerals are used for like elements as in FIG. 3. Here, the sequence of request response messages is standardised by a specification of the protocol but not all possible request conditions.
[0065] In this implementation the application 37 generates an XML type message 41 to provide an extensible and possibly client specific request to the server 38. For example, the XML type message 41 contains a subscription condition, such as the rate or a condition for refresh operations. Alternatively, or in addition, the XML type message 41 also specifies which process data are required and it can also contain (meta) data to describe the expected structure of the process data.
[0066] The XML type request message 41 is interpreted by the application 39. If the application 39 determines, that it cannot fulfill the specification as contained in the XML type request message 41 it sends a corresponding XML type response message (i=1) to the client 27.
[0067] The application 37 has a negotiation program module 42 to adapt the initial XML type request message 41 in accordance with the server response if necessary. When the application 39 did not acknowledge the XML type request message 41 but rejected the request, the negotiation program module 42 modifies the original XML message 41 correspondingly.
[0068] In this case application 37 retries its request with the modified XML type request message 41. Again, the application 39 checks if it can meet the specification contained in the XML type message 41. If it can meet the modified specifications, it sends an acknowledgement response message (i=1). In the opposite case, a different response message (i=1) is sent back to the application 37 such that the negotiation program module 42 performs another modification of the specification of the XML type message 41 for another retry.
[0069] This process is repeated until the application 39 determines that it can actually meet the specifications contained in the XML type message 41. In this instance the application 39 sends a response message (i=1) to the client 27.
[0070] When the subscription condition which is specified in the XML type message 41 is met, the application 39 automatically generates the XML type message 40 containing the required process data. This XML type message 40 is sent to the client 27.
[0071] The XML type document 40 is sent as response message (i=2) to the application 37. In the following, a new response message i is sent each time the subscription condition is fulfilled. This results in a number of i=2 . . . n response messages containing XML type messages 40.
[0072] In order to "negotiate" the specifications of the client-server communication the server 38 can also provide an XML document to the client 27, which describes the specifications, can be met by the application 39. The application 37 of the client 27 then selects a subset of this specification for the XML type message 41.
[0073]FIG. 5 shows a flowchart which corresponds to the implementation of FIG. 3. In step 50, an unspecific request for runtime process data is received from the client by the server. In step 51, the server application itself determines the structure and the kind of data to be provided to the client in response to the request.
[0074] In step 52, the server application generates an XML type document with meta data and process data corresponding to the structure and the kind of data determined in step 51. In step 53, the XML document is sent to the client.
[0075]FIG. 6 is illustrative of an alternative method corresponding to the block diagram of FIG. 4. In step 60, a specific request for process data with subscription conditions is received in the form of an XML document. In case the client application can process the request as specified, it sends a corresponding XML type response message to the client in step 61.
[0076] The fulfilment of the subscription condition is watched in step 62. Any time when the subscription has been fulfilled, the server application generates an XML document with meta data and process data as negotiated between the server and the client as indicated by step 63. The XML document generated is sent to the client in step 64.

We also have more information coming as we get ready for our upcoming beta programs. Sign up today to learn more at http://www.microsoft.com/sbs. Just look for the "Next Version of SBS - Learn More" link
This is really exciting and cool to see a new version of SBS coming along ... as a recent Small Business Specialist I look forward to trying it out, and possibly seeing any of its advancements in integration with virtualization.
I do have one major question for the SBS blog ... Can or/ Has anyone compared and contrasted the SBS management features in SBS 2008 and & SBS 7 with the other new beta product being shown at WPC 2010 ... Windows Intune? I recognize "Intune" is offered through the cloud (via internet), but it seems to offer many of the features we in the SBS community have been using for years in SBS console. And is there any intent to offer such cloud based "Intune" management bundled with newer versions of SBS whether cloud based or physical?

Chairman Mao once described Xi Jinping's father as a man "tempered by fire" - yesterday (Thursday) Xi quickly showed himself to be his father's son.
"To forge iron, you need a strong hammer," he said. He was referring to the fight against corruption but his choice of words gave a glimpse of his work ethic.
As the son of Xi Zhongxun, one of the Communist party's first generation of leaders, Xi, 59, always had gilded prospects. But he chose to work his way up from the bottom, leaving an army job his father had arranged for him.
"He could have stayed in Beijing and given his background he could have chosen any job," said Gao Zhikai, who was the personal translator to Deng Xiaoping, the former Chinese leader. "But he went to the countryside, to the very lowest level, and became a county level official in Zhengding in Hebei. Only by working at that level, and standing at the bottom, could he gain personal understanding into what life was like."
Even as a teenager, sent to a poor village in the countryside during the Cultural revolution, Xi was astonishingly self-composed, at least according to his official biography. "I did the same work as the people in the village, lived in the same way as they and worked hard," he told a Chinese magazine in 2000.
When he studied at Tsinghua university, his classmate, Qiao Mu, recalled that most said he would "be an emerging leader for next decade". Tsinghua has now turned his dormitory into a museum. After Zhengding, he was sent to Fujian in the south. The province was rampantly corrupt and one of China's most notorious criminals had bought off most of the local Communist party cadres and police. But Xi was left untouched by the scandal and subsequent investigation.
"Even if an official does not achieve great things in his career, at least he should be able to say he has not put money up his sleeve," he said. His first marriage, to the daughter of China's ambassador to Britain, was short. He married again, to a singer named Peng Liyuan, but missed the birth of his daughter, Xi Mingze, because he was dealing with the aftermath of a typhoon. She is now thought to study at Harvard. Xi has a second connection to Britain. His niece, Hiu Ng, is married to Daniel Foa, a 36-year-old entrepreneur whose parents live in Cheltenham.
Xi returned to Beijing in 2007 as he was made a member of the standing committee of the Politburo and lined up to be Hu Jintao's successor. Since then, his biography has been scrubbed, his speeches scrutinised and friends have been cautioned not to speak about him.
A believer in the Communist party but very much his own man, it is unclear how different Xi will be from his predecessors. Still, many have pinned their hopes on him. Zhu Mingming, an entrepreneur from Wenzhou, who met Xi in 2008, said: "He is changing the style of politics in China for the better."

After a scenic Big Sur drive, it was nice to continue the views during our meal. We enjoyed the famous ambrosia burger (yum!) along with a nice glass of California wine. The place was packed so we did have to wait for a table to open,…

National Geographic magazine has been kind to Edmonton in a way that few other outside publications have been in recent decades. National Geographic Traveller, the company's consumer travel magazine, has named Edmonton one of the Top Ten destinations in the world to visit this summer. Also on the list are places such as Machu Picchu, Athens, Singapore and Bermuda.

RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. — The Golden Eagles roll to another win.
The Belpre golf team took a 38-stroke victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tri-match, Wednesday night at Green Hill Country Club in Jackson County.
The Orange and Black shot a 162, followed by the second place Tornadoes at 200 and third place Wahama at 235.
BHS was led by medalist Sam Petty, who shot a 38, and Alex Perry, who shot a 39. Jackie Cunningham marked a 42, while Logan Plummer and Alana DeLancey both posted 43, but only one of which counted toward the team total. Brice Ferrell fired a 44 in a non-counting effort for Belpre.
Southern was led by Jacob Hoback with a 47 and Ryan Schenkelberg with a 49, followed by Jonah Hoback with a 51 and Tanner Roush with a 53. Tanner Thorla (59), Ashley Acree (61) and Eli Hunter (66) also played but did not effect the Tornado total.
Nathaniel Redman led the White Falcons with a 46, followed by Mason Hicks with a 48. Bekah Groves fired a 69 and Logan Bissell marked a 72 to round out the WHS total.
The Purple and Gold will return to the course on Monday at South Gallia, while Wahama will host SGHS and Eastern on Tuesday.

Senior Account Clerks in the United States take home an average $18.20 per hour. Residence is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by experience level. Job satisfaction for Senior Account Clerks is high. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a strong majority earn dental coverage. There are far more female Senior Account Clerks who answered the questionnaire than men, making up 90 percent. The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.

Senior account clerks are responsible for handling various aspects of their business' finances and accounts. Some responsibilities of senior account clerks are to process payments, reconcile accounts, and keep records and files of accounts. They also use a computer to enter data into computer and accounting systems, as well as process and prepare accounting reports.Read More...
Senior account clerks are often expected to perform their duties with little supervision, although they must be able to work well in a team setting as well. They may act as supervisors and have other account clerks report to them for delegation of tasks.
As their work takes place in an office setting, senior account clerks are generally required to be able to sit, stoop, walk, and lift light objects. Their typical employers include larger organizations that use senior account clerks to deal with financial accounts and payments; some examples of companies that employ senior account clerks include hotels, colleges, hospitals, manufacturers, large retail stores, and larger corporations' personnel offices. Senior account clerks typically work during normal business hours, but their schedule may vary depending on the specific needs of their employer.
Senior account clerk positions generally require at least an associate's degree in a relevant field. Many companies often require that senior account clerks have experience in their field or related financial experience. Often companies may require their senior account clerks to have a bachelor's degree as well.

At the upper end, Senior Account Clerks who move into a Senior Accountant role can end up with a hefty increase in pay. The average income for Senior Accountants is a much higher $58K per year. Career advancement for the typical Senior Account Clerk often leads to becoming a Staff Accountant or an Accountant; median salaries in these positions are $3K higher and $3K higher, respectively.
Senior Account Clerks generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Microsoft Excel, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Accounting are correlated to pay that is above average. Those educated in Accounts Payable tend to be well versed in General Ledger Accounting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Senior Account Clerks with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $37K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $40K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Senior Account Clerks bring in $41K after working for 10 to 20 years. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $42K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.

I was told that procardia was only shown to work for 48hrs in preventing ptl. I have tried for weeks to get procardia but my dr won't give it to me and has me on progesterone even though that does nothing for the constant contractions :\ He says he doesn't want to risk dropping my bp.

My blood pressure was a little high anyway, I've been on aldomet to keep it under control since getting pregnant. Landed myself in the hospital with contractions 2-3 minutes apart. Got a shot of brethine which made my heart race. The procardia definitely lowers my blood pressure and sometimes I feel wierd. But it's made the contractions ease up a little, so they're irregular and not getting stronger. Bed rest for two days and I'm already so bored and restless ugh
Posted 12/08/2012
Me too Alana! Finally home from the hospital yesterday. Bp was fine the whole week there, now it's back up to 145/93! Damn! And I've been in bed all day-bored!!! Hopefully it'll go back down. On no meds!

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
The instrumental, multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You! Black Emperor creates extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient builds-to-crescendo of the group's compositions results in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes almost narrative when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. GY!BE formed in 1994, and that year self-released a limited-run (33 copies) cassette entitled All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling. The band's next recording, F#A#(Infinity), was initially a limited-run release of 550 LPs on the Canadian label Constellation, but was picked up by Kranky and released on CD as well. Early 1999 brought the EP Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada (released by both labels) and increased recognition for a band intent on retaining anonymity. Nevertheless, interest in GY!BE only continued to grow among new music fans with much positive attention from The Wire magazine, the band's participation in the John Peel-produced Peel Session for the London BBC, and the group's consistently impressive live shows, including their performance at Quebec's 1999 new music festival FIMAV and the tour with Labradford later that year. GY!BE performances generally include at least nine or more musicians and a projectionist. The instrumentation consists of three guitars, two basses, French horn, violin, viola, cello, and percussion. 2000 brought about the release of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, pushing their diverse orchestral rock sound even further into the universe. Yanqui U.X.O. followed 2002. Godspeed You! Black Emperor remained in absentia until they reassembled for a tour in 2011. Another tour commenced in September of 2012. In October, the band announced 'ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND!, their first recording in a decade, a mere two weeks before it was released.

Museum honors Convair's contributions to Atlas missile
"The basic Atlas vehicle, remarkably unchanged almost 50 years after its inception, is a 1½ stage liquid-propellant launch vehicle consisting of a booster section and a sustainer section, a unique configuration that enables the missile to launch itself into orbit. The single rocket engine in the sustainer section and the twin rocket engines in the booster section all ignite at liftoff to propel the vehicle for the first two minutes of flight; after which the two booster section engines are jettisoned as the single sustainer engine continues to burn and carries the vehicle into space.
"Early test models of the Atlas (designated the Atlas Series A) were 75 feet (23 meters) in length and 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter, powered by only the two booster section rocket engines, with a maximum range of just 600 nautical miles (1,111 kilometres). The missiles were outfitted with a dummy warhead, but lacking the sustainer engine, they were only capable of reaching an altitude of 57.5 nautical miles (106.5 kilometres).
The first Atlas test flight, a "Series A" missile, lifted off from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14 on June 11, 1957. The flight lasted only 24 seconds. The twin rocket engines lost thrust about 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above the launch pad, the missile made a few pirouettes, and then the Range Safety Officer transmitted a destruct signal commanding the Atlas to blow itself up."
"This first launch failure, though disappointing, also contained a silver lining. As the missile was tumbling out of control, the Atlas' frame and thin skin remained intact, even though subjected to several seconds of very high aerodynamic stress (or structural "loads") far in excess of its design limitations. This validated its structural integrity and ended the controversy over its unconventional design. In all, a total of eight Atlas Series A missiles were launched from June 1957 though June 1958.
"Subsequent test versions (the "B" and "C" models) were launched in 1958 and 1959, and the Atlas D, the U.S.' first ICBM, became a functional weapon system in January 1959 when the first Atlas ICBM squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California was activated, even before the first successful launch of the Atlas D. The Air Force formally accepted the Atlas on September 1, 1959, and the missile was declared "operational" about a week later when an Atlas D ICBM was successfully launched from Vandenberg.
"During the same timeframe, the Atlas missile was also proving its worth as a space launch vehicle. Project Score-an Atlas B missile that launched itself into low-Earth-orbit on December 18, 1958-carried an instrumentation package developed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps that became the world's first communications satellite by broadcasting a recorded Christmas message from President Eisenhower back to Earth.
"Atlas model D, E, and F ICBMs, outfitted with nuclear warheads, were deployed at Air Force bases throughout the United States, stored vertically in underground silos and raised by elevators to an above-ground position for launch. In addition to the original squadron at Vandenberg AFB, Atlas ICBMs were deployed at eight locations in central and western United States and at Plattsburg AFB, New York. (Plattsburg AFB still is the only ICBM installation ever located east of the Mississippi River).

What is Venastat?
Venastat is a natural supplement that is proven to relieve achy, tired or swollen legs and promote leg vein health and circulation.
Why take Venastat?
For many people, achy, tired or swollen legs are an all-too-common part of their daily lives. Standing or sitting for an extended length of time, being physically inactive and even natural aging can make it more difficult for your body to maintain good leg vein health -to efficiently circulate blood from your legs to your heart. Fluid can collect in the legs and pass from the capillaries into surrounding tissue. As a result, your legs can feel achy, heavy and tired. Venastat can help.
How does Venastat work?
The natural extract in Venastat helps strengthen capillaries, maintain a natural fluid balance and protect against edema and swelling. Research has shown effectiveness in as early as four weeks with continuous, daily use.
What make Venastat special?
Venastat's HC167 Horse Chestnut extract is standardized to 16.7% Escin to provide a consistent level of relief in every easy-to-swallow capsule. This is the level of standardization used in numerous published clinical studies confirming safety and effectiveness. Research has shown effectiveness in as early as four weeks with continuous, daily use.
Adults should take one capsule every 12 hours (two per day), swallowed whole with water before meals.

Nice, France
My Rating
Positives: Enjoyable day with lots to see. Cannes, Grasse, Gourdon, Saint Paul De Vence were all amazing particularly Saint Paul De Vence. The tour guide was informative.
Negatives: The tour guide appeared quite stressed after a late pick up and didn't introduce himself until he had collected all eight of us. His driving skills were something else.
Nice, France
My Rating
Very enjoyable day!!! Despite the thunderstorms in the morning our tour guide Adrienne cheered us all up! She was a fantastic driver too and very informative. She never rushed us from one place to the next and was always happy to answer our questions. Fantastic day, well worth it. A lovely stress free day as you are collected and dropped off at your hotel door. Having a really nice tour guide that really loves her job makes such a difference. Eze, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Antibes, Cannes all very enjoyable and we saw the main sights in each place. Travelling with a small number of people is quite good also. Definitely recommended!!

Suggestions on GoPro HD Hero2 or equivalent...

Yes, very happy with it! Wish the lens was a bit wider and had a lower f stop, but for the price I got it for, no complaints!
Here's forehand footage showing the widest FOV. Not too bad, I still have about 5 feet of room to move the camera back before it hits the fence.
The FC-150 manual is the typical cryptic Casio manual- it does differentiate standard/HD movie mode and HS movie mode by saying that only auto exposure is avilable for standard mode video, while auto/shutter priority/manual exposure are available in HS movie mode. It also mentions that the range of the shutter speed depends on the current high speed recording speed (fps). The specifications do mention a 1/40000 shutter speed available in high speed CS mode/shutter speed priority AE, or manual mode.
Anyway, I believe it does work because when I try to force manual mode for standard video, I can set it up to high shutter speed but when you press record, automatic exposure settings override it. This is not the case when doing high speed video, it seems to accept the manual settings with nothing overriding the settings- the videos have an exposure equal to the high speed CS photos.

Wonderful whirl
Unencumbered by kids, dads discover a different kind of Disneyland magic
She did tell us, however, that Club 33 is the only spot in Disneyland that serves alcohol. Happily, there are no such restrictions at California Adventure, which offers beer and wine at several sites. Starkly illustrating the two sides of Disney, on the other side of the Grizzly River Run and all its screaming rafters, we ran into a small, well-tilled hillside vineyard.
Since its opening in 2001, California Adventure has had its share of detractors who view it as a poor stepsister to Disneyland. But, as adults, we're fans of the less congested park, its slower pace and more "mature" attractions such as the California Screamin' roller coaster, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Soarin' Over California.
The latter ride is a five-star attraction that uses giant-screen cinematic technology to simulate a hang-gliding experience. Throughout the ride you find yourself dangling your feet over spectacular scenery of Yosemite, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Napa Valley (the designers of California Adventure seem to have an affinity for Wine Country) among other sites. It not only leaves you breathless, but feeling proud to live in the Golden State, perhaps because it didn't include scenes of Fresno.
Big, potentially attendance-boosting changes are coming to California Adventure; hopefully ones that don't take away any of its more mature charm. Most notable is Cars Land, a 12-acre expansion re-creating Radiator Springs from the film "Cars," complete with three new rides. Paradise Pier will get a makeover, complete with a fantastic-looking water show called "Disney's World of Color." The entrance also will be renovated, aiming to look more like Southern California in the 1920s and '30s, when Walt Disney first came to the state.
It'll be just more for the kids to enjoy. But the weekend proved Uncle Walt completed his mission: Adults don't have to live vicariously through their kids at Disneyland. We can have a great time all by ourselves, experiencing enough of the breathless magic seemingly designed for the young with a nice balance of activities geared more for "adults."
In the end, though, you find yourself missing the kids more often than not. And after the fuss they made when we got home, it's pretty obvious we won't get away with leaving them behind any time soon.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation says it's running low on road salt for the highways. The news comes as another winter storm is expected to hit the state.
The department says it only has enough road salt for one more storm. That's because this winter has not only been harsher than others, but because it has swept across a broader swath of the country. Most states in the northeast get their salt from the same sources, and with wicked weather blanketing the region, the regular suppliers are getting tapped out.
Dignitaries including Gov. Lincoln Chafee and the state's congressional delegation will gather in Providence Monday for groundbreaking on the new Viaduct south replacement project. The viaduct is a nearly 1,300 foot bridge that carries Interstate 95 through downtown Providence.
The Providence viaduct, built nearly 50 years ago, is showing its age. Wooden boards line the underside of the deck to keep crumbling concrete from falling on cars below. And weight limits would have to be next, said state Transportation Department director Michael Lewis.
Residents and merchants in the East Bay are sharply opposing tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge. Local lawmakers have joined them in asserting the tolls will hurt the economy in communities near the bridge.

Matt Cassel will start for the Chiefs and Ricky Stanzi will be the backup. Wide receiver Steve Breaston is also inactive for Kansas City.
The Steelers made safety Troy Polamalu inactive for the fifth straight game due to a right calf injury. Wide receiver Antonio Brown also is out after injuring his ankle in last week's victory over the New York Giants.
Running back Rashard Mendenhall, who hasn't played since straining his right Achilles tendon against Tennessee on Oct. 11, right tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) and linebacker Stevenson Sylvester (hamstring) also are on Pittsburgh's inactive list.

Only time I rolled my ankle in tennis shoes is when I was wrong-footed and had to really stop and lunge very quick. I also like the fact that tennis shoes protect my joints, I need the sole to dampen the shock from me running hard and lifting off the ground after most shots. Minimal shoes might work for a guy who is a twig and isnt physical, but for me, its a big no to minimalists on court.
Also a NO from my current college coach and past coaches, my old coach would tell rec players to buy tennis shoes so they wont hurt themselves.
Well I am not talking about running shoes... And seems you have rolled your ankle in tennis shoes. If you are happy with tennis shoes then its perfectly ok with me, but other people can have other experiences with things you have not tried.

Only problem so far is the sound is stuttering sometimes or actually it seems more like a short clipped echo effect ( like a guitar delay pedel ).
Anyone else having sound problems on with new Linux client?

A SIG wiki page in general would be good with things like a kickstart file to build the client version and the server version.

Countdown to destruction at French migrant camp
The migrants try to elude the elaborate border security network, complete with heat sensors and infrared cameras, at the port and the Channel tunnel that carries the Eurostar trains and other undersea traffic. Nearly a decade ago, many thousands made it across by hopping a ride to Britain. Today only a few make it, but enough to sustain hope.
French authorities have not said when they will move in, but a half-dozen border police exiting the camp Saturday said they had been counting heads.
Some 800 migrants were in the main camp as of June, officials say. However, the number has since dwindled to about 300, leading to speculation that border police have been turning a blind eye to illegal crossings to make it easier to clear out the jungle.
"Even if the jungle is shut down tomorrow, migrants will continue to arrive," said Jacky Verhaegen of aid group Secours Catholique. "Migrants are already en route, in Greece, in Italy, in Turkey. I don't think they'll stop in their tracks. Their goal is Britain."
Philippe Blet, president of the Calais region, said, "We are in a surrealistic and incomprehensible situation."
He criticized a 2004 accord signed by President Nicolas Sarkozy, then interior minister, which authorized deployment of British immigration officers in Calais and Dunkirk.
"Today, the British border is effectively in Calais," Blet said.
In the encampment, tales abound of journeys by foot, in trucks and boats to reach Calais and of efforts to slip inside or under trucks crossing the Channel only to be tripped up by high-tech equipment or sniffed out by a dog.
But hope remains despite the announced crackdown.
"My family said you go to England and make your future by hard studying," said Hotak, who comes from Laghman province, where Taliban and U.S. forces have clashed. "My family is old. They said our life is finished ... You make our future."
Though the adolescent showed visitors his shelter, he refused to be photographed because "if my mother sees this is my home, she will cry."
For Blet, such reactions are normal. Young migrants often set off for the West with the family's blessing and "it's an honor," he said. "He will save the family. He has a mandate."
But in Calais, "They are all 40 kilometers (24.86 miles) from happiness. That's the real drama."

I love these pants. Have ordered TNF pants before, but not this style. These are great because while they can function as adventure gear, they can also be worn as "business casual." Very comfy & true to size. I was running errands in the rain, and water beads right off (try that in jeans or yoga pants!), speaking of which, these pants are more comfy and look "nicer" than jeans, so when running around town you will have a more polished look, if that is your cup-o-tea. Highly recommend!

This change is designed to provide National Guard members activated by the governor the same protections already provided under state law to servicemembers called to federal service by the President or the Secretary of Defense.
