Microsoft unit key to new strategy

Microsoft lays out 'Project Green' revampOctober 7, 2003
"In a sense, there is no news at this conference," said James Utzschneider, general manager of marketing for Microsoft's Dynamics business. "We've delivered what we said we'd deliver."
No news is good news for the company these days. While its Windows and Office units grapple with delays, its Business Solutions group is touting a software plan--remarkably similar to last year's plan--that calls for all four of its enterprise resource-planning products to be updated over the next year.
The money-losing Microsoft Business Solutions unit is also rounding the corner financially. Last quarter, it turned its first-ever profit as well as a 17 percent rise in sales. The company expects it to dip back in the red for a little while longer, in part because of a new $50 million ad campaign, but hopes to continue the sales growth.
And, as Microsoft continues to formulate its business software services strategy, MBS is poised to play a starring role.
That's a dramatic shift from five years ago, when Microsoft started its midsize-business applications push with the purchase of Great Plains Software. The company now has four separate ERP (enterprise resource planning) products--all gained via acquisition--along with a homegrown CRM (customer relationship management) product.
For years, the Convergence conference has been marked by angst among Microsoft's resellers and customers.
"There was a lot of confusion," Utzschneider said, because customers were unsure of Microsoft's long-term plans and worried that the company would cancel one or more of its product lines.
The company is moving to unify the products, but has scaled back its original plan to rapidly integrate the four ERP products--"Project Green"--in favor of a more evolutionary approach. Now, much of the work in the coming years will focus on ensuring that the four products have a common look and feel, as well as have links to Microsoft's other software programs and its Visual Studio development tools.
Forrester Research analyst Ray Wang said that the MBS unit is starting to operate as a single team, even as it continues to support all four versions of the Dynamics ERP software. With much of its development resources concentrated, he said, Microsoft can focus its work on adding ties to Office, SQL Server and other Microsoft products as well as integrating Web services support.
"That is a credible threat," Wang said. Over time, Microsoft still faces choices of which parts of each product to maintain and what its common data model will look like. For now, though, partners and customers are happy with Microsoft's plans, he said.
Big, but how big?
It is unclear just how far Microsoft's ambitions stretch. Until now, the company has stuck to the notion that it is focused on the midmarket.
In a 2004 videotaped deposition, given in the government's attempt to block the Oracle-PeopleSoft deal, Microsoft senior vice president Orlando Ayala said the software maker did not plan to enter the market for large corporate customers in the near future."These are sales that take a lot of time and resources," Ayala said. "Even for the midmarket, you don't enter them overnight...It will take years for us to be big in the midmarket."
Now, however, the company's ambitions seem larger.
Our products "can scale up to cover a super, super high percentage of all businesses in the world," Chairman Bill Gates told CNET News.com this week. "When (companies) want to pick a new software application base, we will be in there competing in 95 percent of the cases."

Amherst Bars Fusion Japanese Sushi
"O can either offer a fine, reasonably priced meal - in the case of standard sushi - or a seriously expensive Fusion meal with the potential for highs and disappointment."
It takes moxy to name any restaurant - particularly a predominantly Japanese one - simply "O," but that's the identity of this somewhat pretentious Amherst-based sushi, Asian fusion, and drinking establishment. With a massive bar and a part-lounge, part-restaurant interior that looks like it was designed to accommodate bigger crowds than we've ever seen inside, O Restaurant and Lounge offers good Japanese food at prices that range from reasonable to high, as well as non-Japanese dishes that accommodate American palates. Some of the dishes, particularly the non-Japanese items, are priced at an obscene level and fail to deliver the quality or quantity you'd get for fewer dollars elsewhere, and the drinks are expensive, but the sushi is generally very good.
The Story: Unusually spacious and style-conscious by the standards of local sushi restaurants, O's dining room and table service succeed in making a positive first impression. A substantially black and blue bar area is the focal point of the room, with alcohol piled high towards the ceiling; tables are covered in white paper and alternate between transparent glass, white, and blue dishes served by smartly dressed staff.
Medium-sized menus devote roughly half their space to sushi, which generally sells in the $2-3 per piece range, with maki rolls at a similarly reasonable $4 to $6 - hovering closer to the high end. Where diners will start to get into trouble are the specialty rolls, which run from $7 to $14 and average $10, the appetizers ($7-$11), entrees ($16-$32), and the extensive drink menu, which offers most mixed drinks for $7.50 and wines for $6 per glass. As you might guess, one night of sushi and cocktails, or just one appetizer and the wrong entree, can quickly become a big red dot on your credit card radar.
Highs: We found O's sushi to generally be of very good quality. Though we weren't fond of the prices for the specialty rolls, we felt that the flavors were pretty close to great and the presentation was highly attractive. Individual diners' sushi items were delivered on glass plates that really showed off all of the items - the pieces of sushi, the palate-cleansing slices of light yellow pickled ginger, and the green wasabi paste, and between the colors and flavors of the sushi items, we were as impressed with their tastes as we were with their presentations.
One of our entrees, the Grilled Tuna ($25), was shockingly expensive but otherwise very satisfying to its recipient - shaped like two wedges, it was seared white on the outside and left pink on the inside, coated in a brown citrus and ginger sauce, and served aside a collection of cooked vegetables. Stylish quarter circles of red and green sauce added beautiful splashes of color to the otherwise attractive plate.
Lows: As a $7 dish sold here for $16, the Pho soup is emblematic of O's excesses. Visually extremely close to the Vietnamese original, O's version of the famous beef, beef broth, and rice noodle soup is garnished as expected with lime, bean sprouts and cilantro, but lacks both in depth of flavor and of bowl. For the price, we'd expect either a profoundly delicious or huge quantity of Pho, but the portion we received wasn't memorably rich-tasting, and not enough to fill us even when accompanied by sushi.
Other items also suffered from the "close but no cigar" phenomenon, with good looks and okay flavors, but prices that seemed too high for what and how much was delivered. A Tofu Pot Pie ($11) and Vegetable Tempura place ($6.50) were both nice-looking but bland appetizers; a couple of people at our table felt uncomfortable ordering larger entrees because of their prices.
The Verdict: Depending on what you're looking for, O can either offer a fine, reasonably priced meal - in the case of standard sushi pieces and rolls - or a seriously expensive Fusion-style meal with the potential for some highs and some disappointment. If you visit this place with a big wad of cash and an equally large appetite for sushi, you'll likely leave satisfied; consider it a good place for an impressive date, but find another local sushi place for a more affordable week-to-week fix.

Risking the Lot – Subprime Stupidity and Art Auction Arrogance
Risking the Lot – Subprime Stupidity and Art Auction Arrogance
The US subprime housing crisis is one of those things that makes you wonder what the people involved were thinking. The lenders had to have known the risks involved in lending money to people to buy a house who couldn't get finance through the more main stream, traditional lenders yet these lenders let these people borrow money anyway driven by what could only be described as blatant greed. Lending money to people who have the highest probability of not being able to pay the money back is risky enough but when you add the possibility of property values dropping below the value of the mortgages which would result in the lender not being able to recoup the money that they lent, the risk goes through the roof.
It would seem that the art auction houses are taking the same risks as the mortgage lenders by giving minimum price guarantees to their clients which means that they are gambling on their ability to achieve the sale prices they have promised their vendors. As an indicator of how much risk some of the art auction houses are taking, Sotheby's have given minimum price guarantees for a massive 78% of the value of one of their contemporary art auctions to be held in March which equates to approximately US$200 million.
Regardless of whether or not the artworks reach the minimum guaranteed price that the auction houses have given, the auction houses have to pay the vendor the promised amount of money. The reason that the auction houses give guarantees is to entice the sellers with the most valuable artworks to sell through their auction house. By having the most valuable artworks to sell, auction houses get more publicity, more bidders and potentially greater profits but by giving minimum price guarantees they are also risking their reputation and business. Just like the subprime mortgage lenders it would seem that greed is motivating the art auction houses and just like the subprime mortgage lenders the auction houses are creating a time bomb which could explode at any time.
Not only are the auction houses risking their own businesses but they are also creating false expectations of the art market and presenting a manipulated view of the art market by promising minimum sale prices just to secure the sale of particular artworks which may not reflect the true market value of the artwork. If there were to be a situation where the auction houses were not able to sell the artworks for the prices that they had guaranteed the sellers then there would not only be significant repercussions for the auction house but it would also be likely to cause a general panic in the art market which would effect many people. As far as I am concerned the auction houses are taking far too many risks and not considering the consequences for themselves and others but greed can unfortunately cause people to make significant errors of judgement.

Perhaps if a duopoly did not exist but instead many auction houses thrived in the art auction market, these minimum price guarantees wouldn't be too risky, because at least they would be spread out among many auction houses, with each auction house possessing not too many of them. But because of the present duopolist market which exists, by competing for clients through the use of minimum price guarantees, Sotheby's and Christie's have put themselves in very vulnerable positions.
In regard to the subprime crisis comparison, while the lenders should be blamed, I do believe that they weren't 100% aware of the state of the subprime market. Specifically, many borrowers lied about their occupations and income in order to obtain these loans. Further, rating services did an awful job rating the quality of these mortgages, which certainly contributed to the credit crisis. We can only hope that Sotheby's and Christie's have a better sense of the art market than lenders did about the subprime market, because if not these minimum price guarantees really could bite them in the butt…and we should find out soon enough with the big NY auctions coming up!

Hi Adam,
I think that the risk is there regardless of the existence of the duopoly because it is the outside influences that have the potential to have an impact on the art auctions.
Nicholas Forrest
Hi Nicholas,
I agree with you, I was simply stating that because there are only so many artworks, the fact that there is a duopoly in the auction market, only two houses are holding all of this risk rather than it being spread out over more houses.
Now that I have thought about it, I do agree with you very much about the comparison to the subprime market. Banks were making extremely risky mortgages that worked if and only if the housing market (which was nearing a bubble) continued to thrive. And when the housing market crashed, disaster ensued in the banking/finance world. This I find very interesting when relating the subprime to the art market, specifically these guarantees you speak of in your post. Only as long as the art market continues to be as successful as it has been the past few years will these guarantees work. But like the subprime, if the art market crashes or even falls just a bit, the auction houses are in trouble. Do you know how long in advance these guarantees are being made? If they are "stuck" in a lot of future guarantees, the auction houses are basically living or dieing with the success or failure of the art market. I think that is an extremely vulnerable position to be in, especially considering the art market is at an all-time high (or at least approaching it) and most of the global economy isn't exactly too confident about present and near future times.
At least a few banks like Goldman Sachs didn't lose money during this subprime/credit crisis, because of hedging. I wonder if Sotheby's and Christie's should consider hedging, perhaps via shorting Sotheby's stock….just in case.

|Subtlety not being part of Christina Aguilera's vocabulary, she trades the retro-swing of Back to Basics for the future-pop of Bionic, receiving assists from a roster that reads like a who's-who of progressive pop in 2010: M.I.A., Le Tigre, Peaches, and John Hill & Switch, known for their work with Santigold. But like the half-cyborg/half-diva illustration of the album cover, this revamp is only partial. Aguilera hedges her bets by adding a ballad from old friend Linda Perry, gets Tricky Stewart to produce a trio of cuts, drafts Polow da Don and Focus. to produce some heavy and slow R&B, respectively, letting enough air into the machines to reassure hesitant fans that she hasn't abandoned her roots. All this hesitancy means that for as many risks as it takes, Bionic doesn't feel daring. Apart from the stuttering opener of the title track and glassy chill of "Elastic Love," notably the two Hill & Switch productions, this never delivers the future shock it promises, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because the robot-diva hybrids are interesting even when they stumble. The deluxe edition of Bionic does suggest what the album could have been: it's supplemented by four bonus songs that are wildly imaginative, whether it's the clattering, chanting "Bobblehead," the cool synth glide of "Birds of Prey," the perfect new wave pop of "Monday Morning," or Sia's mournful ballad "Stronger Than Ever." In their place on the album proper are odes to fashion and fabulousness and power ballads, songs that play to Aguilera's persona without inhabiting it. The rest of the Bionic -- not just the hipster flirtations and Sia's trio of richly ruminative AAA ballads, but the tracks directly within Aguilera's wheelhouse, like Tricky Stewart's wildly successful, slinky "Desnudate" and the sultry slow burner "Sex for Breakfast" -- finds Christina not playing to expectations but simply acting as a natural diva and is all the more compelling for it. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Green News For The Weekend Volume 298
It's Friday again, and you know what that means… a green news roundup!
New figures compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance find that China installed 15.9 gigawatts (GW) of wind power in 2012, a number which accounts for 35 percent of the world's new onshore wind capacity. China may lead in emissions but this is a good sign for the future of wind power generation.
In his second inaugural address, President Obama promised to take on climate change as a priority in his second term. "We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," he said at the start of one of the longest passages devoted to a single subject in the speech. We'll see about that, but I have my doubts that anything substantial will be done.
The recent shift away from coal and toward natural gas to generate electricity in the U.S. has had major impacts across the country, from rapid economic growth and pollution concerns in rural Pennsylvania and Ohio to lost jobs in the coal-mining belt of Appalachia. Now another ripple effect can be added to the list of energy market-related shifts, with data from freight railroad operators showing a major decline in the amount of coal transported by train in the U.S. in 2012, at the same time as oil shipments have dramatically increased. Fantastic news here. It's amazing how much coal is moved around the country by rail, as I see quite a bit when riding Amtrak across the country.
Even if you don't eat honey, bees are a critical part of your food supply. Pollinators like bees are a critical part of the life cycle for almost 1/3 of our food crops and 90 percent of wild plants. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been a mystery for many years, but the more researchers dive into what's killing off bee populations, the more signs point to one thing: pesticides. Bayer is a major culprit when it comes to bee die-off, despite what the biased research they funded might say. Take Action: Tell Bayer to Stop Killing Bees.

I too have my doubts that anything will be done in the next 4 years by the Obama administration. He has already signed things he promised not to and not gotten things done he promised to do.
I am not surprised that the Bee colony collapse is possibly from pesticides, it makes much sense to me and what I have suspected all along. He in town, we have a small privately owned garden supply business, the owner tries to get people to buy natural pest control like lime and tells me his customers want the chemical stuff suspecting the natural things might have adverse effects. How crazy is that? He wishes he could stop selling the commercial pesticides but says he would go out of business and all he can do is keep asking his customers to switch.

Three is the maximum number of PowerSync Trays that can be daisy-chained allowing for up to 30 devices to be prepared simultaneously.
For large volume deployments that do not require storage and security for your iOS devices, you should consider the PowerSync D20 - a portable deployment module that provides charge and sync for up to 20 devices. Up to three PowerSync D20s can be daisy-chained allowing for up to 60 devices to be prepared simultaneously.

County Board Member Says Trib's Numbers Are Wrong
The La Crosse Tribune reported Sunday, that Governor Walkers BudgetRepair Bill cost La Crosse County $300 thousand. Board member, Bill Feehan says.......wrong. It actually saved the county money.....and it all comes down to easy math. Feehan, says if you take the Gross Budget Savings from employees contributions Wisconsin Retirement System at $2.9 million and subtract $1.4 million from the Major 2012 Budget Challenges.....you come up with a net gain of $1.5 million for La Crosse County. And not only that.........................
Feehan says to say the governors budget bill was not good for Lacrosse County....is just not accurate.

Symptoms of a
miscarriage include:
It is not always easy to tell whether a miscarriage is
taking place. A miscarriage often does not occur as a single event but as a
chain of events over several days. One woman's physical experience of a
miscarriage can be very different from another woman's experience.
Factors that may
increase your risk of miscarriage include:
It is normal to wonder whether you did something to
cause your miscarriage. It may help to know that most miscarriages happen
because the fertilized egg in the uterus does not develop normally, not because
of something you did. A miscarriage is not caused by stress, exercise, or

OnStar steering toward cell phones?
- Related Stories
After years of struggle, GPS is taking offApril 9, 2004
OnStar calls on Big Blue for voice softwareFebruary 26, 2004
Excuse me, my car is callingFebruary 16, 2003
For $10 a month, Verizon Wireless subscribers can use their minutes while talking on their car's OnStar hands-free embedded phone, the two companies said Tuesday. Calls also can be transferred between an OnStar phone and a cell phone, executives said.
ABI Research analyst Frank Viquez believes it's just a short jump from there for OnStar to bring specially made software to cell phones equipped with GPS ( Global Positioning System) chips. Such a move would make the service much more widely available and cheaper to offer.
Telematics equipment makers like OnStar are searching for cheaper ways of delivering their service, Viguez said. "The ones that can't, don't need such a sophisticated system."
OnStar uses GPS to offer a wide range of services to drivers, from pinpointing nearby restaurants to calling for help in the event of an accident.
Company President Chet Huber said he recognizes the "opportunity" for cell phones to replace the embedded hardware inside OnStar-equipped vehicles, "but our core value...is creating a safe, sound and secure environment."
Telematics, the technology of putting computer systems in cars, is currently a $5 billion industry. Viquez expects new calling features from OnStar and competitors ATX Technologies and Cross Country Automotive Services will help boost the market to $13 billion a year by 2008.

Not really an installation kind of person? Don't worry. Most of us aren't.
That's why we make portable air conditioners. This one has 7,000 BTUs, multiple
fan speeds and even a programmable 24-hour timer. Which means you can control
the temperature even when you're not there. Cool, huh?

I read all the reviews and for the most part it sounds like the expectations were unrealistic. I have a large bedroom upstais that never got cool. I put this in there and it actually lowered the temp to a comfortable 70 degrees in mid-afternoon in Texas. Prior to using this unit I could not get the room under 82 degrees in the late afternoon. I was a little nervous about my power bill but when it cam in I was shocked to see it had gone down!!! My central unit no longer had to run 24/7 because of the added BTUs. I highly recommend this to anyone as long as you realize 7000 BTUs will only cool so much (not an entire house).

Good for small rooms
By Rob Willie
from Sandusky, OH, USA
Using in a bedroom (11' x 11') and works well. It is small enough that it doesn't intrude on the available space and allows movement around the room without causing interruption to traffic flow.
Easy setup even in an oddball slider bedroom windo

Simple to setup, simple to operate. A little loud for the bedroom but getting used to it. It's very efficient!

I use it to cool an open concept apartment in the main living area. It does what it is supposed to. I use a box fan to spread the cooler air to remote areas.
Small But Powerful!
By Old Mickey
Use it in our bedroom--7,000 BTUs. Much smaller than other units we have had over the last 24 years--but it seems to do as well as other brands we've tried.
This ac is very good.
By mammyof9

I use this portable ac in a small bedroom. It is very cool...sometimes even cold. We have been having many 90 degree and higher days with humidity and the unit has kept the room very cool. I am very happy with it.

I was shocked to read all the great reviews on this product. This is the 2nd summer we are using this product. First off, whats up with the music it makes when you turn it off or no? It wakes us up. Stupid. It doesnt work if the temp is over 80 outside. It was 82 in our room, I put it on high for 8 hours and it never got below 72. It cost alot to run it also. Our bill goes up 30.00 a month. I had a small window unit that cost 98.00 and it got our room down to 60..we like it no warmer than 65 in the room. This unit was expensive and what a disappointment. Its the right size for our bedroom, we made sure. 8 hours running and only 72....we were hot. But if it is under 80 outside it works ok, it will get to 62, the lowest settings. It was 87 yesterday and it didnt work. A unit should cool when its hot, thats the point of it. I am going back to the window unit, at least we will be cool. What a waste of money. Last year we had temps in the 90's all summer, and it never got below 74. Horrible. I think we will just junk it. Also the features are so bright we had to put tape over them. And the music thing...cant turn it off. LOL. Its a joke. Wish I had good luck with mine like the people on here. Maybe mine has a problem??????
OK, but a little underpowered for my situation
By Tom
from Near Houston
I installed this AC in a Fifth wheel in hopes of using the roof AC less. I'm keeping the doors closed the the bathroom and fifth wheel area and using it in the living/dining area, and it is just barely keeping up in about 90 degree weather. I probably won't be able to use it on the hottest summer days. BTW, if you are considering using it for this type of application, the window vent kit will probably not work for you. I purchases a 5" diameter wall vent (also from HD) to vent it to the outside, which required cutting a hole in the side. Not difficult, but something to have in mind. The exhaust works fine. This AC would be fine in areas not quite as extreme as Texas in the summer.

You can use
your target heart rate to know how hard to exercise to gain the most aerobic
benefit from your workout. You can exercise within your target heart rate to
either maintain or raise your aerobic fitness level. To raise your fitness
level, you can work harder while exercising to raise your heart rate toward the
upper end of your target heart rate range. If you have not been exercising
regularly, you may want to start at the low end of your target heart rate range
and gradually exercise harder.
To take your heart rate during
exercise, you can count the beats in a set period of time (for example, 30
seconds) and then multiply by a number to get the number of beats per minute.
For example, if you count your heartbeat for 30 seconds, double that number to
get the number of beats per minute. You can also wear a heart rate monitor
during exercise so you do not have to take your pulse. A heart rate monitor
shows your pulse rate continuously, so you see how exercise changes your heart
rate. Then you can work harder or easier to keep your heart working in your
target heart rate range.
Target heart rate is only a guide. Each
individual is different, so pay attention to how you feel, how hard you are
breathing, how fast your heart is beating, and how much you feel the exertion
in your muscles.
Try to make physical activity a regular and essential
part of your day. But if you haven't been active, start slowly and be sure to
talk to your doctor before you add regular exercise to your day. For more
information, see the topic

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Phaedra Parks's Donkey Booty DVD Crashes Amazon, Demand Is Too High!
We're guessing Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been Sir Mix-a-Lot's favorite. No doubt, both Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks have been blessed with itty-bitty waists and round things in your face, but whose workout DVD will come out on top?
Kenya's "Booty Boot Camp" is now available for pre-order, but we have very little info on its success so far. Phaedra's "Phine Body," on the other hand, has been rocking the market. According to a recent interview in OK! Magazine, not only is her donkey regime a top-seller, the product has actually crashed Amazon!
"We're in the top 5 Amazon workout videos currently and we've actually crashed Amazon a few times so we're very excited about our sales — they've been very good," Phaedra shared.
Up next for the donkologist? A DVD aimed specifically at pregnant women.
Have you tried Phaedra's workout yet?

Bud Light delivers a lot of beer to Shane Battier
Apparently Miami Heat forward Shane Battier is a fan of Bud Light.
At least, we hope he is now.
The veteran was talking about superstitions during the Heat's 27-game winning streak during the season, saying, "You never know. I don't want to chance luck and switch up brands, so I'm staying loyal to Bud Light."
In return, the beer company decided to deliver a truckload of the drink to the player's house. In all, there are 18 pallets of beer, which is said to be about 1,100 cases.
Party at Shane's, ya'll.

Kelsey Zachow of Port Huron was revealed to be the winner in a press conference held yesterday in Sterling Heights. Zachow purchased her tickets at a convenience store in Mount Clemens. She says she bought five Mega Millions tickets and the fifth number, an easy pick, matched the Mega Millions numbers drawn that evening. Lottery officials say she elected to receive her jackpot as a one-time lump sum cash payment of nearly $38-million and will take home nearly $27-million after taxes. The 24-year-old says she didn't know she was the big jackpot winner until 10 days after the drawing.

Your experience at Tusculum will be different from that at almost any other college in the United States.
As a student at Tusculum College, you will take one class for 18 days. The Block System allows you to live and to breathe each subject and to become a part of a true learning community.
With the focused calendar (block system), we break down barriers of time. Because there are no 50-minute class periods, no bells, no other classes to be rushing off to, you can take your time to absorb what you are studying - not just memorizing information.
When your discussion of capital punishment in The People Shall Judge gets intense, you won't have to miss any of it. On the verge of discovery in Organic Chemistry, you can continue to learn, not hurriedly dismantle your lab so another class can start.
Over the course of a year you will take eight different classes, each one for three and one-half weeks (18 class days) at a time. Classes usually meet from nine to noon every week day, so afternoons are available for labs, studying, or researching. And at the end of the block, you'll have a four day break to refresh for the next block.
There is a rhythm to the block plan, an ebb and flow of learning. The first week of class, you get to know everyone and begin to realize what the class is really about. By the second week, you find yourself debating with classmates the issues at the core of your subject. By the end of the third week, as you work on your final project and prepare for your final exam, you'll find you've immersed yourself in the course in a way not possible under a traditional calendar.
Tusculum has been following this innovative pattern for over a decade, and our graduates tell us repeatedly that the focused calendar improved both the quality and depth of content of their higher education experience - it prepared them for the "real" world.
Because you complete one class before moving on to the next, you expand your mind one block at a time. But, like the blocks you stacked on top of each other as a toddler, each course builds on what has gone before.
At Tusculum, a semester is comprised of four blocks, each three and one-half weeks long. A student takes one course per block. This allows our students and faculty to concentrate on a particular course without the distraction of having to prepare for other courses at the same time. This calendar was implemented in order to produce a distinctive teaching and learning environment.
Since classes meet for three hours or more each day, students and faculty are able to get to know each other quite well, facilitating exchange of ideas among all members of the class - transforming the classroom into a model of a community.
In addition to transmitting knowledge, such classes actively engage students in their own learning. The focused calendar allows time for serious learning and critical thinking, as well as time for learning to communicate clearly. In the process, students and faculty connect the subject matter of the course to their lives and the life of the community more directly than is normally possible.

They will also go on trips to Boone where they will bowl or catch a movie, and have lunch at a local restaurant.
Instructor Kathy Trice is a lifelong resident of Avery County and has worked at Mayland since 2008. She holds a bachelor's degree from Lees McRae College in Education. Trice is very passionate about this class and says she has never been a part of something so rewarding. She says the best part of her job is receiving the utter love and appreciation from those who need help learning everyday tasks. Trice is humbled by the enthusiasm of her students and willing to work on any goal for as long as it takes.

Sun makes bite-size Java server suites
- Related Stories
Sun warms to open-source server softwareJanuary 25, 2005
JBoss airs expansion plansJuly 16, 2004
Sun plots Java comebackApril 12, 2004
Sun's Java Enterprise System is a collection of server software components for handling a number of tasks, such as running Java-based Web applications, verifying network access and messaging. In tandem with the suite's introduction, Sun adopted a subscription model--a yearly per-employee pricing plan.
The suite bundle and pricing, refreshed products and developer outreach are the basis of the company's attempt to boost its revenue from Java server software. That market is dominated by IBM and BEA Systems and is seeing more competition from Sun, Oracle, JBoss and other open-source alternatives.
Sun's latest salvo in the server software battle is five packages derived from the full Java Enterprise System--and a new pricing plan--which the company is expected to introduce Tuesday.
The packages and new pricing--by which customers can get a subset of the full Java server bundle for $50 per employee per year, rather than $140 per employee--are aimed at giving Sun a foothold in customer accounts, which may already have Java server software in place.
"These bundles are just more on-ramps to the Java Enterprise System," said Joe Keller, Sun's vice president of marketing for Java Web services and developer tools. "It's easier to get started, and there are fewer concerns with the level of commitment."
The new Java Application Platform suite is a general-purpose product set targeted at large businesses that are looking to write Web services applications. It includes the enterprise edition of Sun's application server; high-availability software; portal software for mobile devices; software provisioning tools; and Sun's Java development tools, Java Studio Enterprise and Java Studio Creator.
Another new product, the Java System Web Infrastructure, is designed to appeal specifically to medium-size companies and to departments in large organizations, Keller said. It includes a stripped-down version of the application server; a network directory server; development tools and other Web server tools.
Sun has also created suites for communications and messaging; high availability; and identity management software, for securing network access.
The five new suites cost $50 per employee per year. The full Java Enterprise System suite, which used to cost $100 per employee, now costs $140. Keller noted that the full suite gained a number of additions, including Java development tools, mobile software and the N1 Grid provisioning system.
The expanded product portfolio addresses one of the challenges that the Java Enterprise System has had since its inception: the blanket per-employee license and fully loaded package can be an inhibitor to its adoption, analysts said. Companies may only want to acquire the server software to address a specific purpose, noted Pierre Fricke, an analyst at D.H. Brown.
Fricke said the new suites make sense for Sun, but the company is still fighting an uphill battle in the marketplace. He noted that Sun lacks a product specifically designed for integration, which competitors IBM and BEA have. And JBoss' application server is used by several software partners and is popular with developers.
"JES (Java Enterprise System) put them back in the market," said Fricke. "And while they have a competitive offering with JBoss on price, they haven't addressed the ecosystem that JBoss is bringing to the table."

Jon Jones says he owes Alexander Gustafsson 'a severe beating'
"I feel that I have something to prove to the MMA community when it comes to Gustafsson," Jones said. on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I wasn't able to perform to my greatest ability [in their first fight], so I do owe Gustafsson a severe beating."
Jones has heard all the criticism from the first bout between the two. The champ was pushed like he's never been pushed before rallying in the championship rounds to retain his title on a narrow unanimous decision.
Because of those who say Jones didn't deserve the win, he's motivated to put his stamp on the rematch. Jones compared the Gustafsson situation to his well-documented issues with Chael Sonnen.
"I'm excited to silence some critics," Jones said. "You know, the Chael Sonnen situation with UFC 151, beating him after canceling UFC 151 was the greatest feeling I've ever had. I'm excited to have a similar feeling when I official close off the Alexander Gustafsson chapter."
Alexander Gustafsson: To fight Jon Jones, I need to be 100 percent
"[Its] not serious at all," he told Ariel Helwani. "Its actually one of the easiest knee injuries you could have. Its a very easy operation, it takes maybe 15-20 minutes. The recovery time is just a few weeks, and you can walk home from the surgery. Its not a big deal at all. The thing is, its one of those things where its a small problem that can get very big if you dont do anything about it.
"For me to have a 10-12 week camp against Jones, I need to be 100 percent. I cant go into that cage knowing that something is hurting. I need to be 100 percent. We decided that I needed to have that operation."
Gustafsson will long be ready to resume training by the end of August, if all goes as planned, in plenty of time to wait out the Cormier-Jones winner. It gets a little complicated, though, Should Cormier dethrone Jones, that opens up a set of new uncertainties. Cormier himself opted to forego surgery on his own knee, and that procedure still looms at a point in the future. And with Jones having defended his 205-pound title seven consecutive times, a loss would almost certainly mandate an immediate rematch.
Therefore, it makes sense that Gustafsson would pull for Jones to continue his streak against Cormier, just to avoid any muddying of the waters. When asked if he would be rooting for Jones, Gustafsson chuckled, before admitting he would.
"No respect to DC, I think hes a very great opponent and a great athlete, I think hes a very tough fighter and a hard-working guy, but I believe Jones will win the fight," he said. "Im actually hoping that he will win the fight because if Im going to take the belt from anybody I want it to be Jones."
Gustafsson and Jones fought at UFC 165 this past September in Toronto. The fight was an instant classic, with Gustafsson not only thwarting early takedown attempts by Jones, but also becoming the first man to take Jones down in the Octagon. It was a bloody back-and-forth battle that Jones ultimately won on the scorecards. Gustafsson has long maintained that he won the fight, and he and Jones have gone back-and-forth on the topic through social media since then.
With the heat between Cormier and Jones intensifying, Gustafsson will now be forced to wait and see how things play out. He says he hasnt been guaranteed a shot at Jones next, even if Jones wins, but thats the only scenario hes thinking of.
"Not in those words exactly, but I see myself fighting Jones," he said. "Thats what I want. Nothing else. Thats what I want. Im not saying anything else, and Im really, really hoping that I get my chance. I will do my operation, and Ill have my few weeks of rehab, and Im going to come back stronger than ever. When my knee is healed, Im going to be 100 percent. Im going to be better than ever. Im really hoping that I get my title. I want my title."
Gustafsson has had to defeat Jimi Manuwa to get his return bout with Jones, and its been nearly a year in the making. Jones defeated Glover Teixeira at UFC 172 in April to set up the rematch. Though he said he tried to push through it, when Gustafsson realized his injured right knee was hindering his training he made the very difficult decision to call Joe Silva and bow out of the fight.
"It was very hard for me, [the Jones rematch was] something that Ive wanted so long," he said. "Everyone wanted to see that fight. I wanted to have that fight again. Thats the only fight Im thinking about, even today. I want to fight Jones again for the title. I know I can beat him. I know I have the tools to beat him. I know I can take that belt. So it was very hard for me not having that fight."

i marvel somewhat at the amount of drivers that try to impede me daily. i mean, seriously folks. what kind of person is so miserable and resentful they think to block a motorcycle? i wish it was simply dumb on their part. but its not. its dangerous and they have no business doing it
now, we pass hundreds, even thousands of cars a day. many never see us passing, and so many more are courteous rather then dangerous to us. the amount of people who "make room" is astounding. and as a rider i really do appreciate it
but you know what? their are enough people who move over and try to block to notice. and its like i used to say about people in cars even when i drove a car. people are so
when in their cars. these people i can assure you have quite serious issues with life
trying to stop a motorcycle from passing, and putting the rider at danger. someone tried to swipe me the other day. two SUV's rode inward on me as i split between them. BOTH of them
i would not bring it up if not for this thread and discussion. but i tend to look past these things when riding sometimes. because it happens a lot and is part of riding. and that is not going to ruin lane splitting for me. but honestly trying to hit or block a motorcycle on the road is an act of a sick mind. and WE always have to remember a few people are trying to
us out there. with intent. and that is serious enough to consider every once in a awhile
i don't get mad, really. i hardly give it a thought now when riding because
it happens
. i don't question it. but sometimes i do think who are you in there, and what is your problem? i've been yelled at by some of these maniacs, too

'The Real Housewives' invade 'The Fashion Show': Iman, guard your weave, girl
"The Fashion Show" is back with a new episode this week and their clients will be running the competitors ragged. It's a Bravo crossover, folks!
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and "The Real Housewives of Orange County" are taking over the houses.
We already know the gals have very strong fashion tastes, but so do the designers. So, there's guaranteed drama here.
From what we can tell from the preview clips, our favorite Jersey housewife Caroline Manzo's dress looks like she's trying out for Peter Pan. Poor thing. Also, in the show's most genius act of drama creation, Teresa Giudice's designer is Calvin. And she has him spouting off even more indiscernible words than usual. Nice job, caption writers! He has apparently already made Teresa two dresses and she's asking for a third?
Watch the preview clip below:
"The Fashion Show" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Website Annoucement
After running HobbyTechRadio.com for over six months it is with great disappointment that I have to make this announcement.
HobbyTechRadio.com will cease streaming at 23:59 Friday 30th November 2012. This is because I am unable to devote the 25 hours a week required to do justice to this project while holding down a full time job and many other projects.
From a technical point of view, we have proved the concept and possibility of providing a streaming service to hobbyists as part of a hobbyist project. Colin and I may resurrect this project if our future situation changes.
We would like to thank the following podcasters who had the vision to work with us on this project.
Our thanks to:
- The Handihams team
- Jerry Taylor Practical Amateur Podcast
- The guys at Tux Radar
- The team at Ubuntu UK Podcast
- Chris Marquardt Tips from the Top Floor
All these podcasts along with the ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcast are available on iTunes and the web.
Colin and I are also involved in two new projects, To Craft or not to Craft, a monthly show discussing handcrafts and our fortnightly news review show Coffee or Beer Show. These shows are also available from iTunes and there own websites
We hope you understand and continue downloading these fantastic high quality podcasts for your enjoyment.
Best regards
