I think laughter is the key to life mixed in with being a smart, and honest. I'm looking for someone that is caring, out going, smart, driven, free thinking, passionate, and down to earth guy. Someone that can think out side the box of a typical dinner and movie date. My family and I are very close and I have a great set of friends...I feel very fortunate to have such wonderful people in my life.. I have a great life and nothing (thankfully) to complain about. I am not looking for someone that completes me, rather someone who brings out the best in me and vice versa...someone who loves his life as much as I love mine. I work for my self doing hair and skin care at a salon and spa. Work keeps me busy but I'll pencil you in. Seriously getting into healthy food and working out.

I am writing to share several recent news items with you regarding the Oracle Rdb product family.
Support Dates:
I am happy to inform you that we have extended the 7.2 and 7.3 support dates for Oracle Rdb and for Oracle CODASYL DBMS. These new support dates are now published in the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy document for Oracle Technology Products (see
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/librar ... 069183.pdf) The new dates are as follows:
Release GA Date Premier Extended Sustaining
Support Support Support
Ends Ends Ends
7.2 Jan 2006 Jul 2015 Jul 2017 Indefinite
7.3 Mar 2011 Sep 2018 Sep 2021 Indefinite
Premier Support for 7.2 has been extended by one year. It was previously scheduled to end in July, 2014. Both Premier and Extended 7.3 Support have been extended by 2 ½ years. The previous dates were March, 2016 and March, 2019 respectively.
The reason for the 7.2 extension of Premier Support is to give customers more time to plan and implement their 7.3 upgrades. The reason for the 7.3 extensions is to give customers the standard support periods for the database engines. Oracle Rdb 7.3.1 shipped in September, 2013 (other 7.3 product family components had shipped earlier than that). The new 7.3 dates apply to all product family components and now allow for a full 5 years of Premier Support for the main database engines as well as a full 3 years for Extended Support.
Oracle Rdb and Oracle CODASYL DBMS Latest kits:
We are pleased to announce the release of Oracle Rdb Release 220.127.116.11 (aka V7.2-55). As of June 16th, the kit is available on My Oracle Support as patch set numbers 18951053 (Itanium kit), 18951108 (Alpha Optimized kit) and 18951023 (Non Optimized Alpha kit ). You can view the release notes from the download site to see the details of what changes we have included in this latest version of Oracle Rdb.
The latest 7.3 version of Oracle Rdb 7.3 is 220.127.116.11 which shipped in February of this year. The kit is available on My Oracle Support using patch set numbers 17482084 for the Itanium kit and 17482096 for the Alpha kit. For Oracle CODASYL DBMS the latest 7.3 version is 7.3.1.

Sunday, December 22, 2013, 01:56 PMHow to get access to the HP Support Center - legally!
Posted by Administrator
Posted by Administrator
As you all know Hewlett Packard Services changed the access to patches some time ago. Well, then there was a second change this last October where they broke the patch access for HP AllianceONE Partners. Well, the most recent problem has been fixed by HP Services and AllianceONE but this only helps if you are an AllianceONE Partner.
So, how can you need a licensed operating system (you see OpenVMS, Tru-64 and HP-UX fall into this category). Windows and Linux are handled separately - different patching model. And NonStop is handled differently as well - but I suspect it too is not "free". The pricing model for NonStop is very different than that of the other systems. We will come back to how to get a license - if you do not already have one or need one (more on that later, too).
So once you have the license you then need to have the necessary contracts to be able to use the HP Support Center. And in this case the contracts will give you access to patches AND access to submit software support cases. And the pricing is not too bad at least not on an Alpha DS10L. But I will give you some figures so you can project your potential costs.
So you need a license, who do you call? I would recommend you contact one of your local resellers or refurbished equipment sellers. Two who seem most likely to be able to help are Len Whitwer of Puget Sound Data Systems (email@example.com) and Dave Turner of Island Computer (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The following are approximate costs for licenses on "new" systems:
OVMS/MVAX 3110e BASE LIC
OVMS IA64 for SC rx26xx Series Integrity Servers
So, first row is model number. Second is description. Third is approximate cost of the license. The licenses for Alpha and VAX vary by model number. These are the cheapest licenses for these architectures - notice the VAX license has not decreased in price while the new more powerful system have become available. This is sort of historic - DEC never reduced prices on systems, licenses, and services - just came out with other models or offered discounts when they "wanted/needed" so as to be able to get the business. Compaq and HP have pretty much maintained that approach.
The IA64 license cost goes up by multiples of number of cores.
So now you have your license.
Now, how to get that support contract.
You need to purchase the following to items:
HA108AC Software Support
HA156AC Update Support
As associated with your licensed system. HP will look for proof of purchase of the license to confirm. Now this is important. So if you have a long out of support system they use this to charge the "Return to Support" fee. This fee grows by the number of months you have been out of support... So, if you have been out of support for YEARS, it might (most likely IS) be cheaper to buy a new license for your system.
Total cost for annual support on a DS10L (QL-MT1AE-6Y) is less than $150. I would expect the IA64 annual cost to be on something less than $200 and the VAX annual cost to be less than $300. I do not have exact figures for these last two options as I only needed the Alpha access.
These prices are all United States prices, your mileage will vary... BUT this give the PROCESS anyone can use to get access to PATCHES and SUBMIT a SOFTWARE SUPPORT CASE.
Make sure they ONLY sell you the above contracts. The folks when I started this seemed to think you needed to have the system under hardware support (not my reseller but HP) - that got corrected REAL FAST!

ABSTRACT: In settings of increased insulin demand, failure to expand pancreatic β-cells mass leads to diabetes. Genome-wide scans of diabetic populations have uncovered several genes associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and a number of them are part of the Wnt signaling. β-Catenin, a Wnt downstream effector participates in pancreatic development, however, little is known about its action in mature β-cells. Deletion of β-Catenin in Pdx1 pancreatic progenitors leads to a decreased β-cell mass and impaired glucose tolerance. Surprisingly, loss of β-catenin made these mice resistant to high fat diet because of their increased energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity due to hyperactivity. The complexity of this phenotype was also explained in part by ectopic expression of Cre recombinase in the hypothalamus. Our data implicates β-Catenin in the regulation of metabolism and energy homeostasis and suggest that Wnt signaling modulates the susceptibility to diabetes by acting on different tissues.Scientific Reports 09/2012; 2:693.

ABSTRACT: The capacity of β cells to expand in response to insulin resistance is a critical factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Proliferation of β cells is a major component for these adaptive responses in animal models. The extracellular signals responsible for β-cell expansion include growth factors, such as insulin, and nutrients, such as glucose and amino acids. AKT activation is one of the important components linking growth signals to the regulation of β-cell expansion. Downstream of AKT, tuberous sclerosis complex 1 and 2 (TSC1/2) and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling have emerged as prime candidates in this process, because they integrate signals from growth factors and nutrients. Recent studies demonstrate the importance of mTORC1 signaling in β cells. This review will discuss recent advances in the understanding of how this pathway regulates β-cell mass and present data on the role of TSC1 in modulation of β-cell mass. Herein, we also demonstrate that deletion of Tsc1 in pancreatic β cells results in improved glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia and expansion of β-cell mass that persists with aging.Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.) 05/2012; 11(10):1892-902.

Article: Enhanced beta cell proliferation in mice overexpressing a constitutively active form of Akt and one allele of p21(Cip)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ability of pancreatic beta cells to proliferate is critical both for normal tissue maintenance and in conditions where there is an increased demand for insulin. Protein kinase B(Akt) plays a major role in promoting proliferation in many cell types, including the insulin-producing beta cells. We have previously reported that mice overexpressing a constitutively active form of Akt(caAkt (Tg)) show enhanced beta cell proliferation that is associated with increased protein levels of cyclin D1, cyclin D2 and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21(Cip)). In the present study, we sought to assess the mechanisms responsible for augmented p21(Cip) levels in caAkt(Tg) mice and test the role of p21(Cip) in the proliferative responses induced by activation of Akt signalling. To gain a greater understanding of the relationship between Akt and p21(Cip), we evaluated the mechanisms involved in the modulation of p2(Cip) by Akt and the in vivo role of reduced p21(Cip) in proliferative responses induced by Akt. Our experiments showed that Akt signalling regulates p21(Cip) transcription and protein stability. caAkt(Tg) /p21(Cip+/-) mice exhibited fasting and fed hypoglycaemia as well as hyperinsulinaemia when compared with caAkt(Tg) mice. Glucose tolerance tests revealed improved glucose tolerance in caAkt(Tg)/p21(Cip+/-) mice compared with caAkt (Tg). These changes resulted from increased proliferation, survival and beta cell mass in caAkt(Tg)/p21(Cip+/-) compared with caAkt(Tg) mice. Our data indicate that increased p21(Cip) levels in caAkt(Tg) mice act as a compensatory brake, protecting beta cells from unrestrained proliferation. These studies imply that p21(Cip) could play important roles in the adaptive responses of beta cells to proliferate in conditions such as in insulin resistance.Diabetologia 02/2012; 55(5):1380-9.

Article: Decreased IRS Signaling Impairs β-Cell Cycle Progression and Survival in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing S6K in β-Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the S6K arm of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling in regulation of β-cell mass and function. Additionally, we aimed to delineate the importance of in vivo S6K activation in the regulation of insulin signaling and the extent to which alteration of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) signaling modulates β-cell mass and function. The current experiments describe the phenotype of transgenic mice overexpressing a constitutively active form of S6K under the control of the rat insulin promoter. Activation of S6K signaling in these mice improved insulin secretion in the absence of changes in β-cell mass. The lack of β-cell mass expansion resulted from decreased G(1)-S progression and increased apoptosis. This phenotype was associated with increased p16 and p27 and decreased Cdk2 levels. The changes in cell cycle were accompanied by diminished survival signals because of impaired IRS/Akt signaling. This work defines the importance of S6K in regulation of β-cell cycle, cell size, function, and survival. These experiments also demonstrate that in vivo downregulation of IRS signaling by TORC1/S6K induces β-cell insulin resistance, and that this mechanism could explain some of the abnormalities that ultimately result in β-cell failure and diabetes in conditions of nutrient overload.Diabetes 10/2010; 59(10):2390-9.

Article: mTORC1 Activation Regulates β-Cell Mass and Proliferation by Modulation of Cyclin D2 Synthesis and Stability[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Growth factors, insulin signaling, and nutrients are important regulators of beta-cell mass and function. The events linking these signals to the regulation of beta-cell mass are not completely understood. The mTOR pathway integrates signals from growth factors and nutrients. Here, we evaluated the role of the mTOR/raptor (mTORC1) signaling in proliferative conditions induced by controlled activation of Akt signaling. These experiments show that the mTORC1 is a major regulator of beta-cell cycle progression by modulation of cyclin D2, D3, and Cdk4 activity. The regulation of cell cycle progression by mTORC1 signaling resulted from modulation of the synthesis and stability of cyclin D2, a critical regulator of beta-cell cycle, proliferation, and mass. These studies provide novel insights into the regulation of cell cycle by the mTORC1, provide a mechanism for the antiproliferative effects of rapamycin, and imply that the use of rapamycin could negatively impact the success of islet transplantation and the adaptation of beta-cells to insulin resistance.Journal of Biological Chemistry 02/2009; 284(12):7832-42.

Article: Disruption of Tsc2 in pancreatic β cells induces β cell mass expansion and improved glucose tolerance in a TORC1-dependent manner[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Regulation of pancreatic β cell mass and function is a major determinant for the development of diabetes. Growth factors and nutrients are important regulators of β cell mass and function. The signaling pathways by which these growth signals modulate these processes have not been completely elucidated. Tsc2 is an attractive candidate to modulate these processes, because it is a converging point for growth factor and nutrient signals. In these experiments, we generated mice with conditional deletion of Tsc2 in β cells (βTsc2 −/−). These mice exhibited decreased glucose levels and hyperinsulinemia in the fasting and fed state. Improved glucose tolerance in these mice was observed as early as 4 weeks of age and was still present in 52-week-old mice. Deletion of Tsc2 in β cells induced expansion of β cell mass by increased proliferation and cell size. Rapamycin treatment reversed the metabolic changes in βTsc2 −/− mice by induction of insulin resistance and reduction of β cell mass. The reduction of β cell mass in βTsc2 −/− mice by inhibition of the mTOR/Raptor (TORC1) complex with rapamycin treatment suggests that TORC1 mediates proliferative and growth signals induced by deletion of Tsc2 in β cells. These studies uncover a critical role for the Tsc2/mTOR pathway in regulation of β cell mass and carbohydrate metabolism in vivo.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 07/2008; 105(27):9250-9255.

Article: Generation of a reporter mouse line expressing Akt and EGFP upon Cre-mediated recombination[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The serine-threonine kinase Akt regulates multiple biological processes. An important strategy to study Akt signaling in different tissues is targeted activation of this pathway in vivo. The current studies describe the generation of a mouse model that combines a double reporter system with activation of a constitutively active form of Akt1 (caAkt) in a Cre-dependent manner. Before Cre recombination, these mice express LacZ during development as well as in most adult tissues. After Cre-mediated excision of the LacZ reporter, functionality of the transgene was demonstrated by expression of the caAkt mutant along with the second reporter, EGFP in different pancreatic compartments and in the nervous system. This animal model provides a critical reagent for assessing the effects of Akt activation in specific tissues. The lineage-tracing properties provide a useful tool to study the role of Akt signaling in regulation of differentiation programs during development and plasticity of mature tissues.genesis 05/2008; 46(5):256-64.

Article: Controls for lung dendritic cell maturation and migration during respiratory viral infection.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells are ideally suited to orchestrate the innate and adaptive immune responses to infection, but we know little about how these cells respond to infection with common respiratory viruses. Paramyxoviral infections are the most frequent cause of serious respiratory illness in childhood and are associated with an increased risk of asthma. We therefore used a high-fidelity mouse model of paramyxoviral respiratory infection triggered by Sendai virus to examine the response of conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (cDCs and pDCs, respectively) in the lung. We found that pDCs are scarce at baseline but become the predominant population of lung dendritic cells during infection. This recruitment allows for a source of IFN-alpha locally at the site of infection. In contrast, cDCs rapidly differentiate into myeloid cDCs and begin to migrate from the lung to draining lymph nodes within 2 h after viral inoculation. These events cause the number of lung cDCs to decrease rapidly and remain decreased at the site of viral infection. Maturation and migration of lung cDCs depends on Ccl5 and Ccr5 signals because these events are significantly impaired in Ccl5(-/-) and Ccr5(-/-) mice. cDCs failure to migrate to draining lymph nodes in Ccl5(-/-) or Ccr5(-/-) mice is associated with impaired up-regulation of CCR7 that would normally direct this process. Our results indicate that pDCs and cDCs respond distinctly to respiratory paramyxoviral infection with patterns of movement that should serve to coordinate the innate and adaptive immune responses, respectively.The Journal of Immunology 09/2007; 179(3):1438-48.

Tamil Mauritians are the descendants of Tamil migrants to Mauritius. The original immigrants from Tamil were craftsmen and tradesmen, and arrived when Mauritians was ruled by France.[1] The island nation has a Tamil population of 115,000. Most were brought by the British from Tamil Nadu after 1727 to serve as labourers on the sugar cane plantations.[2][3] Around 15 percent of Indo-Mauritians are Tamils. The community includes a Hindu majority, and the rest are Christians (largely Roman Catholic), Muslims. They account to 55,000 of the Mauritian population.[4] Of this number, around 7000 people reported that they spoke Tamil.[4] But 71,000 people identified themselves religiously as Tamil.[5] This is due to the fact that most of them mistakenly understood Tamil as their religion instead of as a language.
Thaipusam, the Tamil Hindu festival, is a national holiday in Mauritius and is notable in the temples.
Most can read, write it to some extent, but very few can speak it well. Even though most speak Mauritian Creole, which was introduced by French settlers who arrived at the beginning of the 18th century and established a slave plantation economy based on forced labourers brought from Africa, it includes many Tamil words.[6] A Tamil magazine Pathirikai and Tamil radio Onex FM exist in Mauritius. Most cultural aspects and rituals can be seen in full fledged manner. Around a 100 schools teach Tamil as a mother tongue subject. It can also be learned at the university level. A Tamil conference was held here. Murugan temples are common and some Tamil place names are found here.

That was just as much, if not more, a result of the system than it was the personnel. At the very least, the latter factor will change under new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, no matter who is calling signals in 2013.Over the past four years, Philadelphia Eagles starting tailback LeSean McCoy was targeted 4.9 times a game in Mornhinweg's offense.Meanwhile, with Tony Sparano calling the shots for Gang Green's offense last year, running backs were hardly ever included in the passing game.Starting running back Shonn Greene was targeted less than two times a game in 16 appearances. Joe McKnight, the team's most explosive tailback, was targe...

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 05 September 2012 09:12AM
The airline claims the change to the longstanding "free-for-all" seating system commonly used by budget airlines resulted in "less stress and anxiety" for passengers on trial flights.
The new pricing regime will phase out the current priority boarding product, Speedy Boarding, which costs an average £10 per passenger.
Allocated seats will cost £3 but will not be a compulsory extra. Passengers will be able to purchase seats with extra legroom for £12 and reserve seats in the first few rows of planes for £8.
These prices applied during the trial, which 70% of passengers thought was better than the current system. Around 60% said it made them more likely to use the airline in the future.
The benefits of Speedy Boarding will live on for easyJet Plus! annual cardholders and Flexi Fare customers.
They will still be able to check in via Speedy Boarding's dedicated desk, board the aircraft first and will be able to select seats free of charge.
A spokesman said the airline expected the allocated system "to attract new customers for whom our old system was a barrier to entry".
According to easyJet the trial also delivered satisfactory results against key criteria including on-time performance, cost per seat and revenue compared to Speedy Boarding.
Carolyn McCall, chief executive of easyJet, said: "This is an example of easyJet trying to do all it can to make travel easy and affordable for our passengers."

Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny." - Frank Zappa
I have a thorough fascination with space. My primary motive for attaining wealth is to be able to exit the earth's atmosphere before I die. I'm kidding, sort of.. Music, music, music. That's it for me. Writing it, performing it, listening to it, watching it, talking about it. In all its forms. I started out as a classical pianist from a young age, and later grew into modern rock. Then classic/progressive rock, where John Bonham's reckless abandon inspired me to learn drums. From there a lengthy jazz obsession, which is only just now winding down as I enter an electronic phase. If you know some good obscure electronica that is mega-bonus points. Aside from music I'm still involved in academia. Somehow, somebody decided it would be a good idea if I were a professor, so (presumably as a gag) I was hired to teach a weekend organic chemistry course at a small university, which I've been doing for about three years. It's the perfect job for me because my weeks are free and it's two months on, two months off. So basically, I have more free time than you can shake a stick at, and still live comfortably. Don't hate, I'm aware of my absurdly good fortune. So... I'm attracted to the obvious stuff: intelligence, beauty, confidence, a fit lifestyle, and so forth. Besides that, I tend to be excited by a biting cynical wit, a girl that can make me laugh, a girl that sets me up to make her laugh, and girls with any kind of artistic talent, be it visual, musical, or otherwise. So if you're a pretty lady with an IQ of 165, an uncanny ability for multiple musical instruments, acting, painting, and can boulder V6 climbing problems, hOLLa aTchA bOi. Also, if you can beat me at pool or Mariokart, I will marry you.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Martial arts, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

I like Cats, Dogs, Fish
I like the Los Silverpark (a term I coined for Silverlake/Echo Park, spread it around to your hipster friends but give me credit). Hollywood once in a while when I can brave the sea of douchelords. Any beach.
TV - The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Stewart/Colbert power hour. Movies - Stanley Kubrick, Milos Forman, and Wes Anderson. Music - Everything.
I require a minimum of one good concert per month. Other than that I enjoy rock climbing, good food and drink, tossing a disc on the beach, and interesting people. I'd also like to start a bocce league. For reals.
My own ridiculously inane attempt to describe myself to cyberladies.

Some clubs like to tout their extravagance and their exuberance by calling themselves "mega-clubs" or "ultra-lounges" or maybe even the odd "discotech-mageddon." We may have made up that last one. But other clubs don't need to hyperbolize. They simply name themselves something ubiquitous, commanding and not at all pompous -- something like "LiFE."
Even with the capitals all around you, you'll never feel like a little "i" at this club. LiFE is expertly designed, superbly laid out and a treat for all the senses. From the abundant tables to poles and the spacious dance floor, everything is centered upon the DJ space behind which is displayed -- without a hint of irony -- the "LiFE" logo. It's immediately obvious who this club is for.
DJs have become so popular in recent years that LiFE has emerged as a club to which they can aspire. The sound system is both loud (like everything in SLS Las Vegas) and sublime at the same time. While some clubs can give you bass that shakes your ribcage or treble that hurts your ears, LiFE has built a system that sounds the way every club should -- shaking yet soulful. Since the space is actually the old Sahara showroom, everything about LiFE feels like you're in the audience of your own adventure. And it completely does justice to the music choices.
No club on the Las Vegas Strip is ever going to go seriously deep. People want to hear whatever remix is playing everywhere else so they can sing that one part they know when the DJ breaks it for them. But LiFE is at least bringing us a bit closer to some house and trance than we've seen in a long time. So if you care about the quality of the music you sort of hear while getting wasted and grinding on strangers, LiFE is the place to be.
In addition to the music, LiFE has plenty of tables with enough space to invite over the cutie you spotted by the bar, or to invite yourself to someone else's party by just sitting down and pretending to know them. And the high ceiling even has riggings for the aerialists and performers who occasionally grace the sky inside. So score a seat however and wherever you can. This is one club you'll want to savor for as much of your own life as possible.
2535 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109

Disappointing editorial
Re: your June 21 editorial, "A bridge too far":
The Star asks "What world are those officials living in?" My answer: perhaps, fortunately, one in which we are not intimidated by the possibility we may have setbacks when steps are taking to beautify our community.
Was not this country once "the home of the brave"? I will note, to its credit, the editorial does say "before installing the authorized security measure." At the same time, while the actions of the taggers are along the lines of what I would expect, I am disappointed at The Star's editorial is less than I would expect.

Upgrade of the Commonwealth's Human Resources & Payroll System
|Comptroller Memo
Executive Summary
The Commonwealth will be initiating a major upgrade of its principal human resources and payroll system, the Human Resource/Compensation Management System (HR/CMS) to improve efficiencies, reduce administrative processes, expand technology for HR functions and eliminate, as much as practicable, the various silos of disparate data.
The Human Resource Division, the Office of the Comptroller and the Information Technology Division announce a multi-year project to improve the efficiency of human resource and payroll functions. This plan is to augment the current HR/CMS system with new and expanded software functionalities. Examples of the planned enhancement projects include:
- The upgrade of the Oracle: PeopleSoft core HR and Payroll system - HR/CMS - includes better navigation, easier data entry, and the introduction of the "person model" to allow the Commonwealth to better capture all different types of workers and recruits.
- The introduction of employee and manager self service allowing employees to enter time and attendance, update personal and tax information, and see pay and leave time amounts.
- Improvements and automation of various "on-boarding" functions through recruiting and hiring technology.
As this HR/CMS upgrade progresses we will continually assess opportunities and the budget constraints to make additional improvements within the HR/CMS (Oracle) system to support our goal to increase operational efficiencies for agencies throughout the Commonwealth.
The success of this project will depend on the continued close cooperation with departments, agencies and business unit heads from whom we will seek input as we start the upgrade planning.
At this time we are pleased to announce that we have hired Richard Divosevic as our Program Manager for this project. Richard has over 10 years of project management experience and just completed a similar upgrade for the state of Minnesota and came highly recommended.

iHerb Customer Reviews
