Apple prepares for major enterprise push by making Macs, iPhones, iPads easier for IT to support
Apple has made its products easier for IT to support, and in doing so has laid the groundwork for a major enterprise push.

Apple's typically quiet second quarter got a welcome boost from iPhone 6 sales.
No, they won't replace your tablet or laptop, but the iPhone 6 Plus and Android phablets -- with a bit of preparation -- prove to be effective occasional work tools.
Apple's Q4 2014 earnings are out, and while iPhone and Mac sales were strong, iPad sales fall well below analyst expectations.
Laptops are good rivals for the desktop, especially if you use the iPad Air as an external monitor.
Twenty years ago this week, Apple Computer released the PowerBook 500 laptop, a high-style model aimed at providing a mobile desktop. It was the first laptop to use a new input device, the trackpad. But this and more came with a bit of sticker shock.
Continuing its cross-platform push, Microsoft has updated its OneNote for iPhone and Mac apps with some noteworthy new features.

Is Apple moving its Mac desktop and laptop lines to ARM processors developed in-house? The company's powerful new 64-bit A7 processor found in the iPhone 5s is giving new life to the old rumors.

According to Amazon, the number one selling laptop isn't a Windows PC or a Mac, it's the Samsung Chromebook, which runs Google's Linux-based Chrome OS.
Samsung has increased its lead over Apple in the market for "smart connected devices", which includes PCs, tablets and smartphones, says IDC, while smartphones will take two thirds of this device market by 2016.
Analysts suggest that iPad and iPad mini sales are cannibalizing Mac sales and resulting in weak demand. iPhone continues to be Apple's flagship product.

Press release from Business Wire
Dole Food Company, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
Dole Food Company, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results16:25 EDT Tuesday, August 03, 2010 WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. (Business Wire) -- Dole Food Company, Inc. (NYSE:DOLE) today announced positive financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 19, 2010. Dole reported second quarter 2010 income from continuing operations of $33 million as compared with $21 million in 2009, and Adjusted EBITDA of $113 million compared to $143 million in the second quarter of 2009. Earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter were $0.38 per share. Adjusting for unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities, currency movement on foreign denominated instruments, as well as gains on asset sales, comparable earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.49. David A. DeLorenzo, Dole's President and CEO said: "We are pleased to announce another strong quarter despite a challenging economic climate. Our packaged salads business realized higher volumes and pricing, as well as lower costs. Our packaged foods portfolio also performed well, with improved earnings, even with Easter sales falling in the first quarter of the year. Consumers continued to embrace our new product offerings, with the rollout of our Fruit Crisps and Real Fruit Bites exceeding distribution goals. Our fresh fruit operations improved over the first quarter, but continued to be negatively impacted by weak market conditions in Europe and Asia. We also reduced net debt by $51 million in the second quarter." In the second quarter of 2010, Dole recorded a tariff refund of $7 million associated with the June 2010 EU banana tariff settlement agreements. Dole estimates that the EU banana tariff settlement agreements will benefit fiscal 2010 EBIT by approximately $16 million at current foreign exchange rates. In a major landmark legal victory, on July 15, 2010, the Los Angeles Superior Court dismissed Tellez v. Dole, the last remaining lawsuit brought in the U.S. by Nicaraguan plaintiffs claiming to have been banana workers on Dole contracted farms during the 1970's. Citing rampant fraud by plaintiffs, the Court vacated the earlier $1.6 million judgment against Dole in favor of four plaintiffs claiming sterility from DBCP exposure while allegedly working on Dole-contracted farms.

Revenues Revenues increased slightly during the quarter ended June 19, 2010. Packaged foods sales increased primarily due to higher volumes sold worldwide. Fresh fruit sales increased as a result of higher sales in our European ripening and distribution businesses and higher sales of bananas and fresh pineapples in North America. In addition, fresh fruit sales benefited from higher sales of Chilean deciduous fruit and higher volumes of kiwi and citrus sold in Asia. These improvements were partially offset by lower sales of bananas in Europe and Asia. Fresh fruit revenues were also impacted by the third and fourth quarter 2009 sales of Dole's box plants in Latin America. Fresh vegetables sales in North America increased mainly due to higher pricing of fresh-packed vegetables and packaged salads as well as higher volumes of packaged salads. Adjusted EBITDA(Unaudited) Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2010 decreased $30 million to $113 million. Fresh fruit Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by lower earnings in Dole's worldwide banana and fresh pineapple operations. Banana earnings declined due to lower local pricing in Asia as well as higher fruit and shipping costs in North America and Europe. Packaged foods Adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of lower worldwide product costs and higher sales volumes. Fresh vegetables Adjusted EBITDA increased due to better performance in the packaged salads business, stronger pricing for celery and strawberries, as well as lower raw material costs and improved plant utilization. Cash and Debt (Unaudited) During the first half of 2010, the Company reduced net debt by $46 million, and ended the second quarter with $185 million of cash and cash equivalents. Also during the second quarter, the Company redeemed the remaining $70 million of its 8.875% Senior Notes due 2011.

A replay of the webcast will be available online at www.dole.com as soon as possible. Non-GAAP Measurements EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable income from continuing operations (total and per share) are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating the performance of companies. EBIT is calculated by subtracting income from discontinued operations, net of incomes taxes, from net income, by subtracting the gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, by adding interest expense and by adding income tax expenses to net income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from EBIT by adding depreciation and amortization from continuing operations, adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on certain derivative instruments (foreign currency and bunker fuel hedges and the cross currency swap), adding the foreign currency loss or subtracting the foreign currency gain on the vessel obligations, adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on foreign denominated instruments, and by subtracting gains on asset sales. Comparable income from continuing operations is calculated from income from continuing operations by adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on certain derivative instruments (foreign currency and bunker fuel hedges and the cross currency swap), net of income taxes, adding the foreign currency loss or subtracting the foreign currency gain on the vessel obligations, net of income taxes, adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on foreign denominated instruments, net of income taxes, and subtracting gains on asset sales, net of income taxes. These items have been adjusted because management excludes these amounts when evaluating the performance of Dole. Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable income from continuing operations (total and per share) are not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and they are not a substitute for net income attributable to Dole Food Company, Inc., net income, income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Further, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable income from continuing operations (total and per share) as used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. However, Dole has included EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable income from continuing operations (total and per share) herein because management believes that they are useful performance measures for Dole. In addition, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable income from continuing operations (total and per share) are presented because management believes that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of Dole. Dole, with 2009 net revenues of $6.8 billion, is the world's largest producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, and is the leading producer of organic bananas. Dole markets a growing line of packaged and frozen fruit and is a produce industry leader in nutrition education and research. This release contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements, which are based on management's current expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates" and similar expressions. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein include weather-related phenomena; market responses to industry volume pressures; product and raw materials supplies and pricing; energy supply and pricing; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; economic crises and security risks in developing countries; international conflict; and quotas, tariffs and other governmental actions. Further information on the factors that could affect Dole's financial results is included in its SEC filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Exhibit 1 – Detailed Information on Segments (Unaudited) Segment EBIT was impacted by unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities, currency movement on foreign denominated instrument and gains on asset sales, which are detailed in the tables below.

This is in addition to and sits on top of the WCF interface to provide an additional layer of abstraction and ease of use. The OrganizationServiceContext class implements the LINQ provider. The LINQ provider can be used for both querying and modifying data. Developers will find the syntax for building queries with the LINQ provider simpler than the using the QueryExpression or FetchXML is style of queries. You can work with the new LINQ provider using both early and late bound data types. Scenario Contoso is an independent software vendor (ISV) building solutions that are used by Gyms / Workout facilities around the world to manage their operations. Contoso has chosen Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 as the application platform to build their next generation Fitness Center Management product. Contoso will be selling this solution to Gym/Workout facilities and will allow them to further customize it to fit their individual operating needs. Gym facilities will be able to install the appropriate solution packages into their Dynamics CRM 2011 server in order to realize the benefits of the Fitness Center Management application. Contoso's Fitness Center Management solution is a modular application that allows customers to select just the modules that they need. During the course of this lab you are going to focus on modifying the WPF application that will interact with the Fitness Center using the Dynamics CRM 2011 LINQ provider. In this lab we will modify a Client that runs as a WPF application on the SuperDuperCycle 7000 Exercycle which is built by a 3rd party, Fabrikam Fitness. Currently this application uses the WCF interface including the generation of client side types to perform common operations on entities, both custom and existing, in Dynamics CRM 2011. You are going to modify the application to use the features of the new Dynamics CRM 2011 LINQ provider. Objectives After completing this lab you will have accomplished the following objectives: Understand how to connect using the new LINQ provider Understand how to use the late bound types with the LINQ provider How to modify data using the LINQ provider Use related operations to optimize your interactions with the framework How to perform complex joins using the LINQ provider System Requirements You must have the following items to complete this lab: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Dynamics CRM 2011 - Beta Exercises This Hands-On Lab comprises the following exercises: 1. Connecting to the server 2. LINQ Late Bound Types 3. Generating Client Types for Early Binding 4. Updating Data using Related Operations Estimated time to complete this lab: 30 minutes. Exercise 1: Connecting to the server In this exercise we will modify the existing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) client application that connects to Dynamics CRM 2011 to create an instance of OrganizationServiceContext. OrganizationServiceContext and implements the LINQ provider in Dynamics CRM 2011. Task 1 – Open the existing WPF Application In this task, you will prepare the WPF application that you will use for this Lab. The following steps will walk you through opening an existing solution file provided with the lab. If you did the WCF lab then you will recognize the application you built as part of the lab. 1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 from Start | All Programs | Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 | Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. 2. Open the solution file CRM2011WCFCycleControler.sln that is located in the Source\Ex1- ConnectWithLINQ\Begin folder of this lab. This is a pre-built WPF application from the WCF lab. Task 2 – Getting Started with the LINQ provider The OrganizationServiceContext class implements the LINQ provider in Dynamics CRM 2011. You can use that class directly using late binding style of development. Similar to the WCF lab, when you run the code generation an organization specific context can be generated also. The generated class has the advantage of having properties for each of the entities in your data model making it easier to leverage intellisense. It also has methods that are custom to each of the entities for doing things like adding new records. Getting started using either technique is very similar so in this task we will add an instance of both so we can see the difference later. In this task you will create an instance of OrganizationServiceContext and ContosoGymServiceContext (the generated one) passing it the existing instance of the IOrganizationService. If you recall, IOrganizationService is the WCF interface and the LINQ provider wraps around that to provide another layer of abstraction. 1. Inside of the MainWindow class locate the OrgService private property. 2. Insert the following properties below the OrgService property. C# //Generic Organization Context used for Late Binding LINQ private OrganizationServiceContext OrgContext { get; set; } //Generated Organization Context used for Early Binding LINQ private ContosoGymServiceContext GymOrgContext { get; set; } 3. Locate the btnConnect_Click method and inside it find the line just before where WhoAmIRequest is defined. Insert the following code to create a new instance of the service contexts using the OrgService instance that was just created. C# //Get a new instance of the Late Binding Organization Context this.OrgContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(OrgService); //Get a new instance of the Early Binding Organization Context this.GymOrgContext = new ContosoGymServiceContext(OrgService); Note: Since this is a WPF application, we have kept these properties at the class level. Depending on the application style you are building, you should ensure they are scoped appropriately. Reference the SDK for any specific guidance on how to dispose of these instances depending on your scenario. 4. While you can still use the OrgService (IOrganizationService) to call the Execute method the OrganizationServiceContext class also provides a similar method. Sometimes it is easier to use that one so you don't have to keep around references to both instances. Locate the following line in the btnConnect_Click method and replace the following line: Figure 1 Replacing OrgService with OrgContext C# var response = OrgContext.Execute(req) as WhoAmIResponse; Exercise 1 Verification In order to verify that you have correctly performed all steps of Exercise 1, proceed as follows: Verification 1 In this verification, you will run the WPF application and attempt to connect to the server. 5. Hit the F5 button to start the application. Note: You might get a message that the solution file is read-only it is ok to overwrite. 6. Click the Discover button in the application to attempt to retrieve a list of the organizations 7. Select Contoso7 from the combo box list of organizations 8. Click the Connect button 9. You should see a message box showing the Guid for the currently connected user. Exercise 2: WCF Late Bound Types Important: In this Exercise navigate to http://crm/Contoso7 In this exercise you will use the LINQ provider to access the Dynamics CRM data using late bound types. Late bound types allow you to work with the data in CRM without having classes representing each data entity compiled into your project. ISVs often use late bound types when working with entities that they can't anticipate at the time they build their code. For example, an ISV building a utility that works with any entity could utilize this capability. This technique can also be helpful to support situations where a user customizes an entity after you have shipped your code but you still need to access the new custom attributes. In prior versions of Dynamic CRM using late bound types via the DynamicEntity class was the only viable technique. With Dynamics CRM 2011 the early bound types also inherit from the Entity class so it is possible and typically more desirable to use the early bound types for the attributes you know at compile time and drop to the Attributes keyed collection for those that you don't. In this exercise, we are going to build a query to retrieve all the Gym locations. Additionally, you will use a new feature of the LINQ provider to retrieve the Room records that are related to each Gym. So you can see how the LINQ provider differs from the WCF interface we will be converting the WCF code from the WCF lab to use the LINQ provider. Task 1 - Open the solution you created in Exercise 1 in Microsoft Visual Studio In this task, you are going to open the solution you created in Exercise 1. If you did not complete Exercise 1 you can open the completed solution from E:\TrainingKit\Labs\LINQ\Sources\Ex1- ConnectWithLINQ\End\CRM2011WCFCycleControler.sln. The code from Exercise 1 will get an instance of the OrganizationServiceContext and set the OrgContext class scoped property. Task 2 - Creating a new Location and room In this task, we are going to use the organization context (OrganizationServiceContext) instead of the organization service (IOrganizationService) to create a new Location record and an associated Room record. When we did this with WCF it demonstrated how a new feature of the WCF Interface that allows creating associated records in a single call to the service. Now with the LINQ provide we will see how you can accomplish the same thing with slightly different syntax. 1. Locate the btnCreateLocationRoom_Click method in MainWindow.xaml.cs. This method sets up an Entity class for Location and Room. This same setup works for the LINQ provider as well. Locate and comment out the line that calls this.OrgService.Create(location1). Insert the following code following that commented out line. C# this.OrgContext.AddObject(location1); Note: The AddObject method tells the OrganizationServiceContext to track this object. Unlike calling the Create method on IOrganizationService the AddObject method does not actually create the data record. In fact, it doesn't even interact with the server. Its sole job is to attach the object to the context as a new record. 2. In order to actually save the record on the server it is necessary to call the SaveChanges method on the OrganizationServiceContext. When called, the SaveChanges method will cause any modified data being tracked by the context to be sent to the server. Insert the following code after the AddObject inserted in the previous step. C# this.OrgContext.SaveChanges(); Note: In this example similar to WCF this is done within a single interaction with the server and as a single transaction. However, If we had added another Location or any other non-related data, multiple interactions would be done with the server (using multiple unrelated transactions). Task 3 - Retrieve a list of Locations In this task, you will convert form using a QueryExpression to using a LINQ query to retrieve all of the Locations and populate a ListBox. In our example, we will simply retrieve all the Locations. 1. Locate the btnRefreshLocations_Click method in the code behind. Comment out the existing code – leave it there so you can compare the difference to the new query. 2. Insert the following code into the btnRefreshLocations_Click method. This code now does a LINQ query using the OrgContext. CreateQuery returns an IQueryable of account records. The Select shapes the results into an anonymous type that has Name and LocationID properties. Alternatively, the query could have specified select loc instead which would have caused all attributes to be returned. Using specific columns is the same as specifying a list of columns on the QueryExpression. C# var query = from loc in OrgContext.CreateQuery("account") select new { Name = loc["name"], LocationID=loc["accountid"] }; listLocations.ItemsSource = query.ToList(); Note: Notice that there is no specific call to the server. The "query" simply defines the LINQ query but doesn't cause a call to the server. The call happens behind the scene when the ToList() is called on the query. This would also happen if you triggered the enumeration in any other way as well. Task 4 - Retrieve Location details and Rooms when Location is selected In this task, we are going to retrieve the location details and the associated rooms when the selection changes on the Location Listbox. Using a new feature of the API we are going to retrieve the Location and the related Room records using a single call to the server. 1. Locate the listLocations_SelectionChanged method in the code behind file for MainWindow and comment out the existing WCF code that is in the method. Don't just delete it, keep it around so we can compare the differences. 2. Insert the following line back into the method – this is still needed to get the selected ID of the location. C# Guid locationID = (Guid)listLocations.SelectedValue; 3. Instead of the QueryExpression again we are going to replace it with a LINQ query. This time we are adding a where statement to qualify that we only want records matching the Location ID. Additionally, we are sorting by the name of the room. Similar to last time we are shaping the results into an anonymous type that has only a couple properties we need. C# var roomQuery = from r in OrgContext.CreateQuery("contoso_room") where r.GetAttributeValue<Guid>("contoso_locationid") == locationID orderby r["contoso_name"] select new { Name = r["contoso_name"], RoomID = r["contoso_roomid"] }; listRooms.ItemsSource = roomQuery; 4. Next, we want to retrieve the location so we can get location address to display. So far we have used the LINQ query syntax. C# introduced this syntax as part of C# 3.0. The runtime however does not understand query expressions so it is translated to method calls at compilation time. It is possible then to also use the method syntax with the LINQ provider as well. The method style can be more compact for simple queries. Insert the following method style query into the method following the query we just added for rooms. C# var location = OrgContext.CreateQuery("account") .Where(a => ((Guid)a["accountid"]) == locationID).FirstOrDefault(); if (location != null) LocationAddress.Text = location["address1_line1"].ToString(); Exercise 2 Verification In order to verify that you have correctly performed all steps of Exercise 2, proceed as follows: Verification2 1. Start the application by pressing F5 from within Visual Studio. 2. Click on the Discover button to retrieve all the organizations configured on the server. 3. Choose Contoso7 from the list of available organizations 4. Click the Connect button to cause the application to connect to the service and retrieve the ID of the user. 5. You should now see a message box showing the ID of the current user. 6. In the Location Name textbox input a value of "Fitness Now - Lab Test" 7. In the Room Name textbox input a value of "Room #1 - Lab Test" 8. Click on the Create button 9. You should now see a message box displaying the ID of the location you just created. 10. Next, load the Locations list box by clicking the Refresh button 11. You should now see a list of locations in the list box. 12. Select the Fitness Now - Lab Test location that you just created 13. The right list box of Rooms should now show Room#1 - Lab Test and the Address Detail at the bottom of the application should be populated with the street information. Exercise 3: Getting Started with Early Bound Types Important: In this Exercise navigate to http://crm/Contoso7 The new WCF interface provided by Dynamics CRM 2011 is no longer dynamically generated as the ASMX web service WSDL was in prior versions. It turned out that generating all those data types slowed down the performance of CRM. Dynamics CRM 2011 takes a different approach by using a separate utility that will generate the typed classes based on data retrieved from the Metadata service. These typed classes inherit from the same Entity class you worked with in the prior exercise. In fact you can still work with the typed classes in the same way you worked with the Entity object if needed allowing a combination of both early bound and late bound techniques to be used in the same piece of code. The LINQ provider also works with the same generated typed classes. The one thing that is not automatically there for you is the typed service context. The typed service context is a generated class that inherits from OrganizationServiceContext and has properties for each entity in CRM. They methods are named <EntityName>Set. This property is of type IQueryable<EntityName> and internally calls CreateQuery when referenced just like we did in the prior exercise. The difference is you can simply use Visual Studio Intellisense to look up the names instead of cryptic strings. In order for this to occur you must specify the /servicecontextName option when you run CrmSvcUtil. Task 1 - Use Typed Objects to Register a New Machine In this task, you are going use the generated classes to create a new exercise equipment record. 1. In the code behind for MainWindow.xaml.cs locate the btnRegisterMachine_Click event handler and replace the line with OrgService.Create with the following code. Notice in this example we are using the generated methods specific to each entity. In this case, we are calling AddTocontoso_exerciseequipmentSet. C# GymOrgContext.AddTocontoso_exerciseequipmentSet(newMachine); GymOrgContext.SaveChanges(); 2. Next we want to Update the service status of the machine to ensure it's in service. Of course we could have set that during the create, but that wouldn't let you do an Update. Service status is an OptionSet, which is the new name for a Picklist. The first step we need to do is locate the values for the OptionSet. You can do that by going to the Field on the contoso_exerciseequipment entity and looking up the values as you can see below. Figure 2 List of OptionSet Values 3. Clicking on each of the items you can see the value for the option. The starting number for OptionSet values are determined by the Publisher prefix. It generates a default value that you can modify if you desire. Figure 3 Value for Need Service 4. Currently, the code generator does not create enum types for OptionSets. So insert the following manually created enum into MainWindow.xaml.cs. C# public enum ExerciseEquipmentServiceStatus { InService = 100000000, NeedsService = 100000001, OutOfService = 100000002 } Note: These values can also be retrieved using the Metadata API messages. Using this approach you could also hook into the extensions provided by crmsvcutil and have it generate the OptionSet enum as part of its code generation. 5. Insert the following line of code to set the value of service status after the MessageBox that prints the ID of the machine that was registered. C# newMachine.contoso_ServiceStatus = new OptionSetValue((int)ExerciseEquipmentServiceStatus.InService); 6. The LINQ provider requires an explicit method call to UpdateObject to notify the service context that the object has been modified. Insert the following line after the setting of the status to execute the UpdateObject call. C# GymOrgContext.UpdateObject(newMachine); 7. If you were try to run the application right now you would get the following error when UpdateObject was called. Figure 4 Error after UpdateObject 8. The above error occurs because after the SaveChanges is called the instance is no longer tracked. To accommodate for that we would first need to call Attach to indicate we want the service context to track the object instance. Insert the following line just before the call to UpdateObject. C# GymOrgContext.Attach(newMachine); 9. Ideally, that should be all you need to do but it turns out if you ran it now, you would see a slightly different error. The following error that you would get indicates that the EntityState is not valid for Attach. Figure 5 Error trying to Attach 10. This error appears because we just created the entity. The CRM team is looking into clearing the EntityState so that the object can be re-attached without any other action, but currently you must null the state first. Add the following line just before the call to Attach and it will clear the EntityState. C# newMachine.EntityState = null; 11. If you ran it now, you would get further, but still get an error because the Tasks that we inserted with the new machine are still part of the RelatedEntities on the object instance. Figure 6 Error from related tasks 12. Insert the following line after the setting of EntityState. This will clear the RelatedEntities collection since we aren't needing them for the next operation. C# newMachine.RelatedEntities.Clear(); Exercise 3 Verification In order to verify that you have correctly performed all steps of Exercise 3, proceed as follows: Verification 3 In this verification, you will run the application and attempt to create a new exercise equipment record and the associated tasks. 1. Press F5 to run the application. 2. Click the Discover button to populate the list of organizations. 3. Select Contoso7 from the list of organizations and press the Connect button 4. On the Register Machine tab, click the Register Button. 5. You should see a message box when the create method is completed showing the ID of the new record. 6. From the CRM Web Client, Navigate to http://crm/contoso7 and browse to the Equipment Management section and click on the Exercise Equipment menu item. 7. You should see the new equipment record that you just created. 8. Open the new record and view the Activities for the record and you should see the four activities we specified as part of the create operation. Exercise 4: Joins and Paging Important: In this Exercise navigate to http://crm/Contoso7 Developers can build queries of varying level of complexity. The OrganizationServiceContext supports building queries that include join and paging. In this exercise, you will be adding support to the application for viewing the usage log of the machine. Task 1 -Create some simulated usage data for the machine In this task, we are going to use the OrganizationServiceContext to create some simulated usage data so we can display it in the subsequent task. 1. Open MainWindow.xaml and locate the last </TabItem> and insert the following XAML which will add a tab for the usage log. It contains a button to create and load the data, a combo box to select a trainer and a DataGrid for display of the usage log.. XAML <TabItem Header="Usage Log"> <StackPanel x:Name="gridPanel" Orientation="Vertical"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <Button Content="Create Usage Data" Height="23" Name="btnCreateUsage" Width="107" Click="btnCreateUsage_Click" /> <Button x:Name="btnLoadUsage" Content="Load Usage" Margin="10,0,0,0" Click="btnLoadUsage_Click" Width="100"></Button> <TextBlock Margin="10,0,2,0" VerticalAlignment="Center">Trainer: </TextBlock> <ComboBox x:Name="cmbTrainers" SelectionChanged="cmbTrainers_SelectionChanged" DisplayMemberPath="Text" SelectedValuePath="Value" Width="150" /> </StackPanel> <ScrollViewer VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Height="200"> <DataGrid x:Name="usageList"></DataGrid> </ScrollViewer> </StackPanel> </TabItem> 2. In the MainWindow.xaml.cs file, insert the following method shell that will be the event handler when the user clicks the Create Usage Data button. . C# private void btnCreateUsage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { } 3. As part of building the usage log data, we will be querying gym members and trainers. To make the code cleaner insert the following enum into the MainWindow.xaml.cs class to define the values for the OptionSet on person for type. By default, crmsvcutil does not generate enums for the OptionSet values. You can, via an interface, implement custom logic to automate the generation or you can hand create the enums as we are doing in this example. C# enum PersonType { GymMember = 100000000, Trainer = 100000001 } 4. Insert the following code into the btnCreateUsage_Click method to query the Exercise Equipment for the machine named "SuperDuperCycle1". Notice we are only interested in the first one in case there are duplicates. C# var equip = (from eq in GymOrgContext.contoso_exerciseequipmentSet where eq.contoso_name.Equals("SuperDuperCycle1") select eq).FirstOrDefault(); Note: The SingleOrDefault method could have also been used in place of FirstOrDefault but it will throw an exception if there is more than one record found. 5. Insert the following query after the equipment query. This query will look for contacts that have a type of Trainer. C# var trainers = (from m in GymOrgContext.ContactSet where m.contoso_Type.Value.Equals((int)PersonType.Trainer) select m); 6. Insert the following query after the trainer query. In this query we are filtering contacts on type GymMember. Additionally, we are using the Take method to indicate we are only interested in retrieving the first 10 records matching the criteria. The Take method is added to the LINQ expression and processed as part of the server query. C# var members = (from m in GymOrgContext.ContactSet where m.contoso_Type.Value.Equals((int)PersonType.GymMember) select m).Take(10); 7. Insert the following code after the members query. This code will loop through each of the members and call the CreateMemberUsageWorkouts method. The method will create workout records for each member. C# Random rnd = new Random(); foreach (Contact member in members) { CreateMemberUsageWorkouts(equip, trainers, rnd, member); } 8. The CreateMemberUsageWorkouts method doesn't exist yet. We are going to use a new feature of Visual Studio 2010 that will allow us to generate a shell of that method from usage. Click on the method name in the code and press ctrl-. (control – period). This will show the Generate method option which you should click with the mouse as you can see in the following image. Figure 7 Generate from Usage 9. In the CreateMemberUsageWorkouts method we need to build out the code to create a new workout instance. Insert the following code inside the method. C# //Create workouts for each user contoso_workout newWorkout = new contoso_workout(); var trainer = trainers.Skip(rnd.Next(0, trainers.ToList().Count)).SingleOrDefault(); newWorkout.contoso_fitnesscentermemberid = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, member.Id); newWorkout.contoso_personaltrainerid = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, trainer.Id); newWorkout.contoso_name = String.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}", equip.contoso_name, member.FullName, trainer.FullName); GymOrgContext.AddTocontoso_workoutSet(newWorkout); GymOrgContext.SaveChanges(); //Now create executed exercises for a specific machine for the workout contoso_executedexercise newExercise = new contoso_executedexercise(); newExercise.contoso_exerciseequipmentid = new EntityReference(contoso_exerciseequipment.EntityLogicalName, equip.Id); newExercise.contoso_workoutid = new EntityReference(contoso_workout.EntityLogicalName, newWorkout.Id); newExercise.contoso_name = String.Format("{0}-{1:MMddyy}", newWorkout.contoso_name, System.DateTime.Now); GymOrgContext.AddTocontoso_executedexerciseSet(newExercise); GymOrgContext.SaveChanges(); Task 2 – Load the usage log for the machine. In this task, we are going to query the usage data created in the prior task to show the usage data of the machine. 1. In the MainWindow.xaml.cs add the following method shells for the button handler and the combo box selection change. C# private void btnLoadUsage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { } private void cmbTrainers_SelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { } 2. Insert the following code into the btnLoadUsage_Click method to query and retrieve the exercise equipment machine record. We will use this to get the ID that later will be used to filter the usage log. C# var equip = (from eq in GymOrgContext.contoso_exerciseequipmentSet where eq.contoso_name.Equals("SuperDuperCycle1") select eq).FirstOrDefault(); Note: The above query returns the full exercise equipment object, for our purposes you could also change this to return just the ID by altering the select to just be select eq.Id. In this case the equip type would be an EntityReference and not a full object. 3. Insert the following code to start building the query of usage after the equipment query. At this point we are going to just insert the first part of the query. To retrieve usage we are going to query against the executed exercises. C# var usageQuery = (from ee in GymOrgContext.contoso_executedexerciseSet 4. Add the following Join statement to the query you added in the previous step. This join is between the workout and the executed exercise. C# join workout in GymOrgContext.contoso_workoutSet on ee.contoso_workoutid.Id equals workout.contoso_workoutId.Value Note: It is important to notice that the equals operator is used instead of = that is required when working with Joins. 5. Add the following Join statement to the query following the workout join you added in the previous step. This join is between the workout and contact to locate the gym member. C# join mem in GymOrgContext.ContactSet on workout.contoso_fitnesscentermemberid.Id equals mem.ContactId 6. Add the following Join statement to the query following the workout join you added in the previous step. This join is between the workout and contact to locate the personal trainer. C# join trainer in GymOrgContext.ContactSet on workout.contoso_personaltrainerid.Id equals trainer.ContactId 7. Add the following Where statement to filter the executed exercises on the particular machine we are trying to show. C# where ((ee.contoso_exerciseequipmentid != null) && (ee.contoso_exerciseequipmentid.Id == equip.Id)) Note: If you wanted to also add more filtering on the trainer or the gym member attributes you can add additional where clauses to the query. If you simply added the criteria to the existing where clause it would generate an error. Each different entity criteria must be specified on its own where clause. You can have multiple where clauses though. 8. In this example, we are going to use the following UsageLogDetail class to hold the retrieved usage data. Insert the following class into MainWindow.xaml.cs inside the namespace but outside the MainWindow class. If you want you can create and place the class in a separate UsageLogDetail.cs file. C# internal class UsageLogDetail { public string Member { get; set; } public string Trainer { get; set; } public DateTime DateUsed { get; set; } public Guid TrainerID { get; set; } } 9. To finish off the query add the following select to project the results into the shape of the UsageLogDetail class. C# select new UsageLogDetail { Member = mem != null ? mem.FullName : "No Member", TrainerID = trainer != null ? trainer.ContactId.Value : new System.Guid(), Trainer = trainer != null ? trainer.FullName : "No Trainer", DateUsed = ee.CreatedOn.Value }); 10. Later we are going to add paging so add the following class level variable to hold the results. C# private List<UsageLogDetail> _usageList = new List<UsageLogDetail>(); 11. Save off the results of the query to a results variable then add that to the class level property. Additionally, we are going to clear the ItemsSource on the DataGrid and set it to the current values in _usageList C# var results = usageQuery.ToList(); _usageList.AddRange(results); usageList.ItemsSource = null; usageList.ItemsSource = _usageList; 12. At this point you can try to run the application, connect to CRM using Contoso7 and proceed to the Usage Log tab and try the application. To do that simply click on the Create Usage data to generate some test data and then click the View Usage Log button to do the query. Task 3 – Add Paging of the Usage Log Data In this task, we are going to modify the application to use progressive paging to retrieve the usage data. We will start by displaying the first few records and only retrieve additional as requested by the user. To retrieve the additional data we are going to use Skip and Take to specify what portion of the data should be retrieved. Using these methods the query expression is altered prior to execution and only the appropriate records are returned from the server. 1. In the MainWindow.xaml.cs add the following class level variable to indicate there are more records. C# private bool _MoreRecords = true; int _PageSize = 15; Note: Using the ServiceContext there isn't a way to get the total records back as part of the original query. So instead of using paging where we tell them page 1 of 10 we are going to use progressive paging where we retrieve more data as requested and let them know when there is not any more to get. Alternatively, you could do a query to simply retrieve a count of the records but that would add additional overhead. 2. Insert the following code into the btnLoadUsage_Click method prior to the equipment query. This will check if there are more records and warn the user when no more are available. C# if (!_MoreRecords) { MessageBox.Show("No More Records"); return; } 3. Next, we need to modify the query expression. The most obvious way to do this would be to continue to add on to the query we built. Instead of doing that we wanted to demonstrate that you could further compose the query. Using the method style we are going to add on paging to the query. Insert the following line that alters the usage query right after the existing query. C# //The 'Skip' value must be a multiple of the 'Take/Top' value. usageQuery = usageQuery.Skip(_usageList.Count).Take(_PageSize); Note: Make sure the Skip value is a multiple of the PageSize passed to the Take. For example if PageSize is 10, You can Skip 40, but Not 41 or you will receive an error. In addition, Skip must be specified before Take. 4. Page the following check after the results are retrieved to see how many records are returned. If less than the full PageSize was returned we have reached the end of the records. C# if (results.Count < _PageSize) _MoreRecords = false; Exercise 4 Verification In order to verify that you have correctly performed all steps of Exercise 4, proceed as follows: Verification 4 In this verification, you are going to make sure that the new diagnostic entity has been created and you can log a simulated error message 1. Press F5 to run the application 2. Click the Discover button to populate the list of organizations 3. Select Contoso7 from the list of organizations and press the Connect button 4. On the Usage Log tab click the Create Usage Data button. 5. After that process completes click the Load Usage Data button to load the log, click again to load more rows until you receive the No More Records message box. Summary In this lab you have experienced using the new Microsoft Dynamics CRM 201 LINQ Provider. The LINQ provider allows developers to specify queries in a more natrual syntax when compared to the QueryExpression style that had been previosuly used. In addition to querying, the LINQ provider provides a Data Context style interaction for data modification. The developer will make one or more changes to data that are tracked by the Data Context and then commited to the server only when SaveChanges is called. In this Lab you worked with the LINQ provider using both early bound typed objects and late bound dynamic objects where the schema didn't have to be known ahead of time.

Summer swim season: Collier, Lee among top-ranked in Florida child drownings
NAPLES - The Preston de Ibern/McKenzie Merriam Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (Florida Statute 515.27)
Residential swimming pool safety feature options and penalty:
(1) In order to pass final inspection and receive a certificate of completion, a residential swimming pool must meet at least one of the following requirements relating to pool safety features:
(a) The pool must be isolated from access to a home by an enclosure that meets the pool barrier requirements of s. 515.29;
(b) The pool must be equipped with an approved safety pool cover;
(c) All doors and windows providing direct access from the home to the pool must be equipped with an exit alarm that has a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 (decibels) at 10 feet; or
(d) All doors providing direct access from the home to the pool must be equipped with a self-closing, self-latching device with a release mechanism placed no lower than 54 inches above the floor.
(2) A person who fails to equip a new residential swimming pool with at least one pool safety feature as required in subsection (1) commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083, except that no penalty shall be imposed if the person, within 45 days after arrest or issuance of a summons or a notice to appear, has equipped the pool with at least one safety feature as required in subsection (1) and has attended a drowning prevention education program established by s. 515.31. However, the requirement of attending a drowning prevention education program is waived if such program isn't offered within 45 days after issuance of the citation.
The tragic story is becoming too familiar.
A toddler escapes the supervision of a parent or guardian for a moment and, before anyone even realizes, that child is at the bottom of a pool or lake.
The latest version of that parental nightmare happened Saturday, May 8, in Immokalee, when 2-year-old Branden Luna wandered away from his home during a backyard cookout.
Hours later, he was found in a retention lake where he had drowned just yards away from his home.
"This is a preventable situation," said Cherie Wilson-Watson, a spokeswoman for Collier Emergency Medical Services.
Through a local chapter of the national organization Safe Kids USA, Watson and other representatives from local health, safety and child-care agencies are working to educate families and homeowner associations on the serious risk of children drowning and ways to avoid that danger.
In a report, the organization called drowning "the silent killer" because there is usually no cry for help and little sound from splashing.
Branden's death was just the latest of several drowning deaths in recent years on top of dozens of near-drownings in Collier and Lee counties. Both counties rank among the highest in the state in rates of child drownings, according to Florida Department of Health statistics.
As a state, Florida consistently leads the nation in annual toddler drowning deaths, according to Florida health department injury reports. Those same reports say that drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 4 in Florida.
Last year, the NCH Healthcare System in Collier County reported 24 children were treated for near-drowning injuries in their hospitals – three of them died.
But that's not the total. At least one child was transported from Marco Island to a Miami hospital before she died.
Lee Memorial Health Systems reported 35 near-drownings for children and one death.
Most children who drown are younger than 5, said Michele King, child advocate director for Lee Memorial.
The danger with toddlers is that they are mobile enough to reach a water body in many cases, but often unable to swim if they jump or fall in, Wilson-Watson said.
After the accident, the Daily News reported that Branden Luna's neighbors are talking about building a fence around the lake where the child drowned to avoid another tragedy.
Paula DiGrigoli, a health educator for the Collier County Health Department and Safe Kids USA advocate, said that measure may help protect children in that neighborhood – but it's probably not enough.
"There's no one simple solution for preventing drownings," she said.
For one, it's not feasible to simply build fences around every body of water in Collier County, she said.
Instead, parents should be prepared in other ways.
"I want to emphasize what you can do from your own perspective as a family," she said.
She promotes a "layers of protection" system that families should incorporate for water safety.
That starts with adult supervision – but she said sometimes that's not always enough.
DiGrigoli, herself a mother of a 5-year-old and 2-year-old, said she knows it's easy for parents to get distracted from watching their children around water.
Last summer, she was at a pool party with her children. Her daughter, Isabella, 4 at the time, had been wearing the inflatable "floaties" on her arms that day. But Isabella took them off when her mother wasn't looking. Then she forgot to put them back on before jumping in the pool.
DiGrigoli didn't see any of this happen, she said, because she was keeping a closer eye on her 2-year-old son.
Fortunately, another man at the party did see it and managed to pull Isabella out of the pool before she was injured _ or worse.
She said she's has talked to many parents with similar stories.
DiGrigoli and Safe Kids USA promote four layers of protection, which they say will limit the chances of another child drowning:
■ Supervise
Parents shouldn't take their eyes off their children when they are in or around water, DiGrigoli said.
Wilson-Watson recommends alternating an adult water monitor at pool parties. That adult, she said, should act like a lifeguard and keep an eye on the pool at all times.
■ Use barriers
Whether fences, self-closing and self-latching gates, pool covers or motion-sensor alarms, all homes with pools should have barriers to keep children from entering the pool area, DiGrigoli said.
A Florida law requires at least one such barrier for pools, but that only applies to homes or pools built after 2000.
If a family with young children lives near a retention lake, DiGrigoli suggests a fence in the yard.
■ Learn to swim
After her daughter's pool scare last summer, DiGrigoli expedited swim lessons for Isabella. This summer, she's putting her 2-year-old through lessons.
For beginning swimmers, toddlers and infants, Monica Leatherman, branch director at the Naples YMCA, recommends using Coast Guard-approved life vests near water instead of the inflatable arm bands. Bands can pop or be pulled off, she said, whereas life vests have multiple straps for security.
■ Know how to respond
If the situation arises when a child is drowning in a pool, parents or guardians should know how to deal it, Wilson-Watson said.
First, someone should bring the child to safety, preferably by using an object to pull them in rather than jumping in after the child, she said. Next, the child's supervisor should know basic first-aid techniques if it is necessary.
"CPR is the most important thing any parent can learn in their lifetime." Wilson-Watson said.
2008: 479 total drownings in Florida. Under the age of 5: 48 drowned in a pool, 10 drowned in a natural body of water.
2007: 479 total drownings in Florida. Under the age of 5: 58 drowned in a pool, eight drowned in a natural body of water.
2006: 486 total drownings in Florida. Under the age of 5: 58 drowned in a pool, seven drowned in a natural body of water.
2005: 382 total drownings in Florida. Under the age of 5: 61 drowned in a pool.
2004: 445 total drownings. Under the age of 5: 63 drowned in a pool.
In 2000 when the state's pool barrier law took effect, there were 64 toddler (aged 1-4) drownings.

Our community should be looking for ways to have nuclear material exit the Savannah River Site, not a path to stockpile more. Thats why the SRS Citizens Advisory Board made the right call by telling the U.S. Department of Energy that a new shipment of more than 700 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium should not be stored in our backyard.
Most of that shipment, which is coming from Japan, is intended for the WIPP or Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carslbad, N.M., but that plant has been shut down since Feb. 14. The facility was shut down when workers were exposed to radiation.
Its easy to understand the concerns expressed by board members Bill Calhoun and Rose Hayes about the intentions of the federal government. Calhoun said he fears that if the New Mexico plant is not revived, and the plutonium comes to SRS, it could stay for an extended time. Its a story weve heard before just look at Yucca Mountain. Tons of radioactive waste was supposed to go to the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada, but the Obama administration blocked those plans and shuttered the plant, which is located about 90 miles from Las Vegas.
The long-term plan, up until 2009, was to consolidate waste at Yucca Mountain, but political pressures prompted the president to scrap the project by cutting funding for it.
Now, questions remain as to where all that nuclear material can go. The mission of SRS has shifted to cleaning up waste, not becoming a dumping site for nuclear material.
One of the goals of President Obama has been to lock down plutonium and uranium around the world to improve international peace and security. Thats a noble initiative, but it shouldnt lead to South Carolina becoming the ultimate destination for nuclear waste.
Yes, there is an economic benefit to being the storage center for such material, but that doesnt negate the clear health and safety risks.
The mixed oxide fuel or MOX facility at SRS was supposed to be part of the countrys solution for disposing of such waste by processing it into fuel that could power facilities. But that plan was also scrapped by Obama after his 2015 budget put the project on cold stand-by, essentially abandoning it.
With the lack of a permanent federal repository for such waste and the federal government still searching for a solution to clean up or reuse nuclear material it seems to put South Carolina, especially Aiken County, at a dangerous crossroads.
The site needs a pertinent mission to remain a viable and sustainable operation, but becoming the nations central, permanent waste dump should be an idea thats left off the table.

2010 Ford Edge Problems
A leaking axle shaft seal and / or PTU cover seal can cause transmission (red) or Power Transfer Unit (PTU) (brown) fluid leaks at the axle area. The axle shaft seal and / or PTU cover seal may be leaking and should be replaced as required.
Adhesive for foam blocks in the headliner can fail leading to poor fitment of the headliner and a possible rattle around the sunroof area. The foam blocks attach the headliner to the mounting brackets. Access the headliner and re-secure the foam blocks to the brackets using cable ties / zip ties.
Excessive clearance between the plastic wheel cladding and the wheel can cause a clicking noise from the wheel area while the car is moving. If the plastic cladding is loose, the wheel will need to be replaced.

It's 'back to school' for new Rutgers head coach Eddie Jordan
Jun 7, 2013, 10:00 PM EDT
Just days after Eddie Jordan was officially introduced as the new head basketball coach at Rutgers a report emerged that the former Scarlet Knight had yet to earn his bachelor's degree.
Jordan took classes during his first stint at Rutgers with that goal in mind in the 1980s, but life and administrative red tape did the veteran coach no favors when it came to completing his studies.
After a long stint in the NBA, which included three head coaching jobs, Jordan finds himself back on the campus he once called home…and back in the classroom.
Jordan's currently enrolled in two classes at Rutgers, but according to Brendan Prunty of the Newark Star-Ledger Jordan's original major is no longer offered by the school. So instead of receiving a degree in Health and Physical Education, Jordan is working towards a degree in Labor Studies and Employment Relations.
"It's been a rewarding experience," Jordan said. "It's been fun, it really has. The classes I've been taking have involved a lot of group processes, so that's been very interesting. Some of the people know who I am and some don't — and that's nice."
Jordan said that the part of the back-to-school process that has been the most enjoyable for him has been telling his story to those who ask why he's gone back to school. Why, after making a more than comfortable living in the NBA — three times as a head coach — would he even entertain the idea of taking two classes to complete a degree.
"It was the right thing to do," Jordan said.
While some may choose to harp on the fact that Rutgers hired a head coach who has yet to earn his bachelor's, it should be noted that the school did not list that as a requirement during the hiring process (it was listed as a requirement for the once-open assistant coaching position).
And this can be used as a lesson for Jordan's new players, as well as former members of the program who may be in a position similar to Jordan's (if there are any who still need to finish up, of course).
It's never too late to finish, and Jordan's work towards his degree is good news for an athletic department that can certainly use some given the last few months.

Ugh. Enough about Rutgers already. Can we kick them out of the BIG10 before they even play with us? Rutgers is trying to be the Miami of the Northeast: Lack of Institutional Control.

Dartmoor Preservation Association
The Dartmoor Preservation Association (DPA), was founded in 1883. It is a charity[1] which provides an independent viewpoint on the current issues affecting Dartmoor and performs conservation work on archaeological sites. It opposes military training in the Dartmoor National Park, and seeks to preserve and increase public access to the Moor.[2] Under the chairmanship of Lady Sylvia Sayer the DPA won the battle to halt a massive reservoir in the Swincombe Valley. More recently the author John Bainbridge worked as chief executive and led the campaign which saved Shaugh Moor and the Blackabrook Valley from china clay mining and waste tipping.
In recent years Bainbridge has been highly critical of the dumbing-down and more pro-establishment stance of the DPA.[citation needed]
