Apologies if this has been discussed here before.
When is Windows 7 going to be available? I was too late to download the beta version so I have to wait and buy it now.
I have a laptop running Vista and I have to say I find it awful! It's pretty of course, but it takes such a long time to boot up (2 mins) and even longer to shut down.
I am considering ditching it altogether and putting XP on, although I haven't really got a spare day to do it. I cna probably put up with the current setup for another few weeks before I throw the laptop out of the window!
Is 7 going to be any better? I used my old Atari ST the other day, and it booted to a usable state in less than 1 second!

There is no official date for Windows 7, but one thing you can probably take to the bank is it will RTM in time for the shops to have Xmas stock of computers with it installed.
Regarding your laptop, have you considered using Sleep or Hibernate to help with getting it into a useful state quicker?
A few quick things to check:
1. Do you have at least 2GB of memory?
2. Do you have a load of programs starting up when Windows starts? Turn off the ones you don't need.
3. How many icons do you have down in the system tray (bottom right usually)?
4. What security software are you using? Norton and McAfee tend to cause longer boot times.

Thanks for the advice,
It's a acer laptop and came with norton already on it. I tried very hard to get rid of it, but I think remnants of it remain!
I have 2 GB of memory.
I try to keep the number of running programs as few as possible, although it's difficult to avoid clutter!
I tend to wipe the hard drive every 12 months or so, and do a complete install. That seems to be the easiest way of getting rid of everything I don't need / want. But in this case I don't have a clean install disk of vista - and if I use the Acer official method I will end up with all of the rubbish they put on it when it was new!
I am seriously considering putting XP on, but I thought if 7 was only a few weeks away I would wait and see how that ran!

Use the Norton Removal Tool to get rid of Norton products.
I've also found you need to go into the registry and restore the Windows Security Center as Norton's uninstaller doesn't seem to restore everything it screwed with!
You can use the PC Decrapifier to remove all the trial and crapware installed by manufacturers.
Like you I've previously had to rebuild my laptop well before 12 months is up. My install of Vista is still running sweet and I can see it lasting until Windows 7 comes out.

Patience Grasshopper!
IF you switch back to classic mode and don't run a virus checker I find Vista performs just fine on a laptop (with the power cord in of course) As soon as the "new" virus checkers go on, whatever they are, they reduce performance by a considerable factor.
Laptops by their very nature are designed to be less power hungry and don't have the grunt of their desktop counterparts. This has always been the case and probably always will be! Possibly the same chip but designed to use less power. Think Honda Prius and Honda Civic Type R they both can be used on British roads and are perfectly capable of doing the speed limit. Not many car manufacturers use this marketing method but it seems fine for "operating systems" ie. This laptop will run Vista! How many games have you bought based on the minimum spec and really experienced the game?
Some laptops also have settings to "throttle them back" to conserve power. They also tend to switch off items that have not been used for a while and thus "access time" or reenabling the device is required before it can be used. These measures all increase battery time but frustrate users. You could make changes to the power settings and watch your battery dump after an hour!
Let's give Microsoft another bashing because of the hardware used!

There is a very good chance that Windows 7 will be even slower than Vista.
07 May 2009 06:06 AM
Oh please! Stop the FUD for goodness sake. Stop reading the Tux lovers comments elsewhere on the Internet.
If you have proof of this then please link to it and by proof I mean proper benchmark tests on a decently spec'd machine that is running the latest RC. Please don't link to some media articles or 3rd rate blogger that just repeat the same subjective rubbish.
I know of IT professionals who hated Vista but are already running Windows 7 exclusively on their systems and loving it! Most think it is the operating system that Vista should have been. That speaks volumes IMHO!
Incidently, the latest RC is now available and will stay alive until 2010.

The problem is , where does that leave those of us who don't run machines to the latest spec? At home I use a 2GHz machine with 500M memory. When I bought it it was extremely quick, it now isn't, and that is not because the hardware has got slower! (Incidentally it's still running XP.) What I would like to see - but am not holding my breath for - is software being produced in high spec/low spec versions, so that for those who want to spend £1000 on their PC every year they can, and for those of us who just want to be able to surf, write e-mails, write Word documents, and similar simple tasks we can.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that there does seem to be a disconnect between the IT industry and end users: when you are used to working with high spec kit it is easy to forget that many/most of your customers don't - and in many cases don't need to.

You've misquoted me there! The response was to do with the comment on Windows 7 being slower than Vista without any proof. However, let's deal with your points now...
Bump your XP computer up to 1GB and it should run really quick with XP. 512MB used to be the sweet spot for XP, but it is now 1GB IME.
I'm betting there are a number of other issues causing your slow down that either requires someone with experience to fix or a reinstall of Windows along with a minimum of amount of applications. I routinely look at slow performing computers and in many cases some housekeeping and some black magic skills, earned through experience and training, gets them motoring again at full speed without too much hassle. The majority of poor performing computers are not down to hardware issues IME, although you do see the very occasional one!
I've also seen reports of Windows 7 running on your spec machines, whereas Vista would be a complete disaster. Personally, I'd look to put in 2GB of memory and have a dedicated graphic card of at least 128MB to make your system run Windows 7 at good performance.
Minimal install applications based on how you use your computer:
1. Web browsing - Firefox
2. Email - Thunderbird
3. Office application - Open Office
All free on the WWW.
You may even want to look to Linux with a distro such as Ubuntu if you feel Windows is bloated and not for you.

Andy, your home machine is much more powerful than my work machine! (1.5GHz, 1G mem)
I think the IT industry also has a disconnect to industry in general - even in the good times we generally went 5 years between PC upgrades and other companies I have also worked for had not to dissimilar policies.
Right now, I suspect we won't see new machines until every single PC in the office is dead (and that is a few hundred of them).

Mark raises an interesting point, but this is a business accountant decision that is driving IT refresh cycles in business. Not many businesses upgrade to a new OS on old hardware. The cost to purchase the next version of an OS, along with the support costs to perform the upgrade usually mean it is cheaper to purchase a new PC, which will be happened based on the write down period of old hardware. Most intelligent businesses now look at 3 - 4 year refresh rates... five years is now too long for all manner of reasons. They also look to have phased refreshes with a proportion of PCs being replaced every year. Business needs to become more intelligent in dealing with IT and count it with the same respect as other big capital expenditure items!
The IT industry also recognises that most people and businesses have a route of a new computer purchase to get at the latest version of Windows... not many go the Windows Upgrade disk route. As someone who works in the IT industry we also still see more XP machines being used in business than Vista so well understand the state of play.
I've got some customers using Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro with lower specs than both of you and they are happy with the performance. Again this comes down to diligent housekeeping and routine maintenance, along with careful configuration and set-up. It is only now as Windows 2000 is coming near the end of its life that we're starting to observe minor issues with some bespoke software and drivers that are designed for XP. The customer is well aware that this computer will be retired soon when MS end of life the OS.
Moore's Law means that the IT industry assumes the systems being designed and built today will be approximately 3 times more powerful than the systems built back in the launch days of XP. Therefore, this leads to the question of why should new versions of software not look to benefit from the increasing power of systems and hardware and software innovation?

why should new versions of software not look to benefit from the increasing power of systems and hardware and software innovation?
Interesting point.
If the software didn't take advantage of the new power then things could be done quicker - for instance double the power, half the time to perform an operation (ok, this is simplistic, cpu cycles and processing time isn't necessarily linear).
However, this can also cause usability problems if the faster version worked faster than the user can handle - I've got an old game that one of the startup options is to not use wait-cycles, almost impossible to play as a result!)
Part of the argument is, does the software do anything useful in the spare cycles or is it just fluff? (technical term that ) I would prefer my computer to boot 50% quicker then play pretty graphics on the screen.
But I also like the extra features my software has grown into. For instance my Firefox 3.5 has many more features then the Phoenix 0.5 which I started using - which I agree with.
I guess it's one rule for the OS, one rule for the applications!

You've misquoted me there! The response was to do with the comment on Windows 7 being slower than Vista without any proof.
Fair enough, I was perhaps taking your quote sideways at best
But, as an example of the point your original posting made me think of:
That is a brilliant example of what gets me frustrated. With any other technology I can think of you expect it, once bought, to work for the next 5-10 years WITHOUT having to upgrade it. OK, my analogue TVs (as an example) will need upgrading this year, but that's once in 40 years (i.e. the last time was 625/405 change).
It might be a good business model, I do have to question whether it is good engineering.
I suppose the fundamental problem is that whilst we like to think of PCs as mature technology they are actually very young.

I was just about to call out the SAS to deal with the thread hijacking!
Microsoft service packs add major functionality and features that tend to require more resources. To make an car analogy, they are like changing an engine, lower the suspension, etc. Major upgrades on a car will usually result in other parts having to be replaced or upgraded to cope with the performance increase.
You've also got all the added burden of the 3rd party apps that need ever more resources that need to be considered. It isn't all Microsoft's fault! XP runs on 256MB but then you need all those 3rd party apps to make the computer a useful tool.
XP is over five years old so it does just fall into your time plan to require some upgrades to the system .

Not refering to "reading the Tux lovers comments elsewhere on the Internet."
I'm refering to my own opinion, which is based on experience.
As for "IT professionals who hated Vista but are already running Windows 7 exclusively on their systems and loving it! Most think it is the operating system that Vista should have been. That speaks volumes IMHO!"
Is that their opinion, based on proper benchmark tests on a decently spec'd machine? Or is it their opinion based on their experience?
Have any of these IT professionals voiced an opinion about the differences between XP and 7, or are their opinions just on the difference between XP and Vista?
As for your advice :
"Bump your XP computer up to 1GB and it should run really quick with XP. 512MB used to be the sweet spot for XP, but it is now 1GB IME." I would agree in principle, however a lot of older PCs do not allow for more RAM than 512MB.
08 May 2009 12:19 PM
Do tell more as your initial comment made no mention of this.
It is their opinion based on running Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 Beta and RC on decently spec'd systems with a view to finding out the ins and outs of each for use in business. They are proper evaluations and trials, not some simple benchmark test, that are realistic in their scope as the results have to be replicated on end customer systems at some point. The majority of comments I've see so far has seen many of them saying they are now running Windows 7 as the main OS on their day to day business systems. These guys are MVPs, MCSEs, SBSCs, etc who make their living from supply and supporting systems to business and domestic customers.
There is the full range of opinion. I've yet to see anyone show the dissent that was being voiced when Vista was released.
Long time since I've seen a system that cannot be upgraded to at least 1GB, but I agree there are many really old systems that are candidates for retirement or require some specialist skills to minimise the load on their limited resources. These systems are certainly not candidates for using Vista or Windows 7.

Just to add to John A Thomson's comments about trying a Linux distribution for older machines.
There are several Linux distributions specifically geared to running older PCs. For instance, Xubuntu (http://www.xubuntu.org/get) and Antix (http://antix.mepis.org) will both run on PII machines with 128Mb of RAM.
If you need to be able to email, surf the web, read, write and edit MS Office files, read and create pdf files, work with databases, graphics, photo editing, web content creation, do schematic capture and PCB creation, circuit simulation, mathematical calculation and modelling, run things like Skype and Yugma then Linux is a perfectly practical option.
With this you'll get the latest in terms of device and interface driver options just running on slow old hardware.
Obviously, there are caveats on things like printer and scanner compatibility but with minimal research (such as a visit to http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting), these limitations can be avoided.
And of course if you need it all to run faster then as John pointed out there are distributions aimed at the latest machines from Ubuntu, Mepis, OpenSuSE etc., etc.
I'm happy to chat to anyone who would like to know more about using Linux.
I run my business on it.

Hi, I,ve been in I.T. for over 30 years - & it's true that the operating systems seem to get slower as time goes by. This seems to be a consequence of Microsoft making things 'easier' for users (or more tedious - if you know what you are doing) coupled with the use of development software used for the operating system which although very modular tends to produce larger, slower code. Also, the current vogue to produce fancy window effects also slows down the machine - & gobbles resources from your video & cpu hardware.
Now, Windows XP & Vista both use the concept of registries - which is an attempt to produce an on-line database of all hardware & software that is used in your system. Whilst this is a splendid concept - the overheads of implementing it in terms of memory & run time processing are very high. Also, it provides a prime target for virus authors - who know & exploit the fact that burying code in the registry is hard to get at & as the registry is central to the very functioning of the operating system can use this to wreak havoc on the user's system.
Have you thought of trying a Linux distribution ? Linux does not have the registry concept - is free due to the GNU Open Source Licence & comes with a miriad of free applications. Most users of Windows XP & Vista mainly use Microsoft Office & Internet Explorer to surf the internet. Linux comes with Open Office - which has word processing, presentation manager, spread sheet & database which can import the microsoft office documents & has all the functionality of Microsoft Office - plus some additional ones (eg the ability to export any document in .pdf format). For web sufing you have a rich selection from Firefox to Opera & other 'lightweight' browsers.
Linux is now a very sophisticated operating system - & does not suffer from virus's at any where the same level as Windows. Also, Linux has a wide range of technical software available - from packages such as MathCAD to general CAD & modelling software. In many instances, if it is essential to run a Windows application, you can use the Wine emulator which allows many Windows applications to run under Linux.
Modern Linux distributions include Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora Core 10 & Mint. Any of these are downloadable as .iso images which can be burnt to a CD or DVD & then used to install the system. I would recommend doing some background reading if you are interested - a magazine such as Linux Format will give you a flavour of what's going on in the Linux world (available from Smiths) - & usually come with a free DVD with one or more Linux distros contained on it.
Most of the major Linux distros also have available what is known as a 'Live CD'. This allows you to boot the CD/DVD & try the system before installing it on your hard drive. Most will automatically pick up your WiFi networking & will allow you to log onto the internet without having to modify device drivers - & the Live CD offers a really good way to determine if Linux is going to be suitable for you. Also, most Linux distributions will allow you to install the Linux system on your hard drive alongside your existing Windows system - creating a multi boot startup screen which lets you select either windows or linux (beware here that Fedora Core 10 whilst creating a multi boot startup menu does not automatically enter the module name of the software to boot except for Fedora itself !).
As a good start point, I would recommend Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Both of these distributions use what is called the Debian repositories (the other major repository is known as the RPM repository). The main difference between Mint & Ubuntu is that Mint comes pre-loaded with various codecs which allow you to play windows style media files & it has been fine tuned to make it's installation & use very easy.
So, if you have the time & inclination give Linux a try (you can get onto any of the distributions home pages by doing a Google search for them) - & if you use a live CD you wont be jeopardising your existing windows installation.

When rice is done, let sit 5 minutes with the lid on, then remove all the pieces of sliced ginger and fluff the rice with a fork.
Ginger-Cilantro Rice with Green Onion and Sesame
(Makes 4 servings, recipe adapted from Ginger-Cilantro Rice on Epicurious.com, with quite a few changes by Kalyn.)
8 slices ginger root (one 2 inch piece of ginger root, peeled and sliced into 8 slices) + 1 tsp. minced ginger root
1 cup Uncle Ben's Converted Rice (or use any type of long-grain white rice, following cooking directions on package)
2 cups hot chicken stock (I used my homemade chicken stock, but you can use canned chicken broth)
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped (about 2/3 cup chopped cilantro)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 T extra virgin olive oil (use a flavorful olive oil)
2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
1 T rice vinegar (not seasoned rice vinegar)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Put the rice and 8 slices of ginger root in a heavy pan with a tight fitting lid, add hot chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cook covered until rice is done and all liquid is absorbed. (This took 22 minutes for me, but I would start checking the rice after 20 minutes. Follow cooking instructions and cooking time on the rice package if you use a different brand of rice.)
While rice cooks, wash, dry, and chop cilantro and thinly slice green onions. Put chopped cilantro, 3/4 of the sliced green onions, and minced ginger in a food processor or chopper attachment of an immersion blender and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped, about 45 seconds. Then add olive oil, sesame oil, and rice vinegar and blend about 30 seconds more to make dressing.
When rice is done, turn off heat and let rice sit for 5 minutes with the lid on. After 5 minutes remove ginger slices and fluff rice with a fork. Add dressing and stir to distribute dressing so all pieces of rice are coated with dressing mixture. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, garnish rice with sliced green onions, and serve.

You dont need a ftp in a LAN! Rsync not reliable?!!! A 'network' of 3 computers?? An array is not a filesystem! A CRU ??
CentOS 5.3
I have been tasked with a project of simplifying our media process for new staff and I need some help with ideas on how to achieve this.
I am not a Linux expert and have only been using it for 12 months so appreciate the help.
Stage 1
Currently we are couriered once a month a 220GB drive, install and mount into CRU, then cp * to a dir in an array.
Array dir = /pa/lptp/feb_2011 (i.e ip 192.168.1.7)
We then cp these files to 2 laptops(i.e 192.168.2.11/27) using a rsync command to dir = /pac/ef1.
Question 1
rsync is proving to be unreliable with updating and removing some files, and operator error from cli is causing operational issues,is there a similar command we can use.
I would like to place a launcher from the laptop desktop so it can be completed with GUI. (i have found something in google NFS mount copying to a temp dir on laptop, deleting existing files on laptop dir then copying to location /pac/ef1 - has anyone used or heard of NFS mount?)
Stage 2
Once a week we receive via FTP server updated files that needs to be added to the original media.
Currently this is done in Windows(separate terminal), where we create the update.xml files then Ftp updated files plus update.xml from windows to linux to original dir /pa/lptp/feb_2011 then reload laptops.
Question 2
Is there a linux alternative for creating update.xml files.
The current windows program we input mpu.xml from original media, then place updated weekly files in and it spits us out update.xml file which we can now load to applicable file servers.
Stage 3 - sorry guys and gals I know its getting boring
Ultimately my goal is to have a GUI button on the laptops that when pushed,
A) connects to the array
B) copies content of /pa/lptp/feb_2011 /pac/ef1 deleting all of /pac/ef1 first
C)Another button that connects to FTP server and auto downloads updated files from a specified date
D)Find a Linux program that can create update.xml files
Additional information
Our network has 2 laptops - just CentOS, 1 big monstrosity of a thing = CRU and array(Linux only) and a separate windows terminal.
All talk nicely to each other and all can connect to outside ftp server.
Thanks in advance for your help, any additonal info will be supplied at request.
You dont need a ftp in a LAN! Rsync not reliable?!!! A 'network' of 3 computers?? An array is not a filesystem! A CRU ??
Are you answering a question with more questions?. (A 'network' of 3 computers??), from Wiki a computer network is a collection of two or more computers linked together for the purposes of sharing information, resources, among other things, and if you read it properly there is 4. (A CRU ?? )Cradle Removable Unit - Dataport removable HDD. (Rsync not reliable?!!!)Yes you read it, rsync does not replace some files after updating. rsync -vr --update --delete.(You dont need a ftp in a LAN! ) and what?, no point just pointing that out with no options. We have been using it as it was the only way we knew, I have now set up a SMB share and NFS. Its still a work in progress and I am slowly working it out. So rather than just pick holes in questions, ask for further clarification, ask if any progress has been made, everyone is here to help each other out. Otherwise you are about as useful as a chocolate fireman.

Poll: Which two teams will advance out of Group C?
All four teams in the US' group could reach the knockout stage
June 18, 2010
What a mess? In the wake of the US' 2-2 draw with Slovenia and England's shocking 0-0 draw with Algeria, Group C is totally up for grabs.
The scenarios for the US' advancement are somewhat complicated, and their chances of reaching the knockout stage are anything but 100%. Even lowly Algeria, considered the whipping boys of this group, have a shot at getting through.
So, we put it to you: How do you think Group C will shake out?

With friends like these… What do Russia's near dictator Vladimir Putin, Cuba's actual dictator Raul Castro and Venezuela's almost dictator Hugo Chavez have in common? All of them have indicated that they want to see Barack Obama win his re-election bid. Somehow, I don't think we'll be seeing any of these endorsements in an Obama campaign ad this year, do you?
Wait, is that a political ad? I'm still scratching my head over a very suggestive television ad the Barack Obama campaign has been using. This one features a young woman comparing voting for Obama to having sex. I'm not kidding. "Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody," she says. "You want to do it with a great guy." The star of the ad is Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO series "Girls," who boasts in the commercial, "I voted for Barack Obama." And this is supposed to help the President gain more female votes?
USA Today gets it backward. The Oct. 24 headline had it exactly wrong: "Chick-fil-A thrives despite gay rights controversy." No, fellows, it isn't despite the outcry against the chain by the gay-rights brigade that business for the chicken-sandwich purveyor has increased sharply. It was because of it and because thousands of new customers liked what Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy said in defense of traditional marriage.
Happy birthday, Tarzan. One hundred years ago, Edgar Rice Burroughs' most famous character, Tarzan, first appeared in print. But it was not until 1932, when Johnny Weissmuller starred in "Tarzan the Ape Man," that we got to hear Tarzan's legendary yell. Tarzan has delighted generations of armchair adventurers who followed his exploits in scores of books, dozens of movies, a series of comic books and even a Broadway play.

The annual renewal of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is underway on Capitol Hill.
On June 14, by a vote of 315-108, the House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2014 version of the NDAA (HR 1960). Several amendments to the defense spending legislation were proposed, many of which were approved either by voice vote or en bloc. The first method of voting requires no report on how individual members voted, while the second method aggregates amendments, allowing them to be voted on in groups.
A few of the amendments represent significant improvements to the NDAA of 2012 and 2013. The acts passed for those years infamously permitted the president to deploy U.S. military troops to apprehend and indefinitely detain any American he alone believed to be aiding enemies of the state.
While the 2014 iteration doesn't go far enough in pushing the federal beast back inside its constitutional cage, there are at least a few congressmen willing to try to crack the whip and restore constitutional separation of powers and shore up a few of the fundamental liberties suspended by the NDAA of the past two years.
First, there is the amendment offered by Representative Trey Radel (R-Fla.). Radel's amendment requires the Department of Defense to submit to the Congress a report every year containing: (1) the names of any U.S. citizens subject to military detention, (2) the legal justification for their continued detention, and (3) the steps the Executive Branch is taking to either provide them some judicial process, or release them. Requires that an unclassified version of the report be made available, and in addition, that the report must be made available to all members of Congress.
Radel's amendment was passed by voice vote.

Read: This Isn't Going To Get Settled Until The Clock Comes Close To Reaching Zero
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes that the belief among many people in hockey is that this deal won't get done until the absolute last possible minute before the drop dead date.
He writes that the NHL wants the players to think that the date is coming soon, but that it likely won't be in December since they don't want to see headlines like "Merry Christmas, they've cancelled the season!"
Friedman writes that the drop dead date is likely to fall in the first hall of January and the league won't wait as long as they did in 2005 to cancel the season.
One thing Friedman notes is that when the 1994-94 lockout ended, the CBA wasn't signed until the following August and the league and players agreed to a "memorandum of understanding" that they would follow the rules of what the new CBA would be while the 48 game season was going on.

|Early Saturday--Still 1700 Without Power
|Written by Renee Whitener, BREMCO
|Saturday, 19 January 2013 03:59
Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation linemen and visiting crews continue working this morning to restore power to members affected by Thursday night's snow storm in the North Carolina mountains. Days of heavy rain followed by last night's heavy wet snow and high winds
caused downed trees and power lines, particularly in Ashe County where more than 400 damaged locations of the electric system needed repair—from broken poles to downed power lines. A total of 9,000 members were affected at the height of the storm.
As of 9 p.m., 1,649 members remain without power: 1,518 in Ashe County, 65 in Watauga County, 60 Alleghany County and six in Wilkes County. The cooperative advises members in Ashe County to be aware that full outage restoration for this area may not be possible until late Saturday due to extensive damage to the system. The cooperative thanks members for their patience as linemen work to restore power to all members as quickly and safely as possible. Members should report all outages by calling the cooperative's PowerLine at 1-800-448-2383.
Assisting Blue Ridge crews to restore power are 75 additional linemen who arrived today from: Rutherford EMC, Union Power, French Broad EMC, York Electric, Haywood EMC, and EnergyUnited, as well as from Sumter, Pike and Carter utility contract crews. Blue Ridge Electric also warns the public that downed power lines can still be energized and therefore dangerous or even deadly! Stay far away from downed power lines and report them immediately to the cooperative.
To check outage status at any time, Blue Ridge Electric provides an online outage map at www.BlueRidgeEMC.com. Information is also available on the cooperative's Facebook and Twitter sites: www.facebook.com/blueridgeemc and www.twitter.com/blueridgeemc.

Homegrown Talent on the Spot
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 07/26/06, 09:23am:
With virtually the same squad returning next season, the decisive variables in the Clippers' potential ascension to the next rung are the growth and improvement of Shaun Livingston and Chris Kaman. Elton is Elton. Cuttino is going to give you what Cuttino will give you. John R. has demonstrated just how similar the skills sets of T. Thomas and Vlad are. If anything, we will probably see a measurable, if slight, falloff from Sam. On the other hand, I suspect we'll see a little more offensive production from Q. You could argue that Corey, as well, could improve the team with a headier brand of basketball - better off-the-ball play on both ends.
But it really comes down to the two homegrown lottery picks.
Shaun Livingston
- One of
the most encouraging stats on Shaun's docket is his April turnover rate --
.047/min - far and away his lowest by month. In addition, his best two FG% months
were March and April.
realize that Hollinger's PER doesn't reflect improvement for Shaun this
season, but we saw him play every night.
Don't you sense that he grasped the nuances of the pro game better
as the season progressed? His
assist/minute numbers skyrocketed toward the end of the season.
Having said all that, Chad Ford throws the Clips into the
"Bad" heap in his "The good, the bad and the murky of summer
league " piece on ESPN.com [Insider required] and refers to Livingston's
play as "uneven" in summer league games.
How many games and minutes did Shaun log in Vegas? 59 minutes over two games.
My intention here is not to play gotcha with Ford, but that doesn't seem to be a sufficient number of plate appearances to gauge unevenness, does it?
Chris Kaman
It's tough to look at the season in progression
to glean anything substantive about Kaman's growth as an NBA center - and given
that he's 24 to Shaun's 20, it's probably not as important that the graph look
something like MSFT's Nasdaq quote in the early 90s. On one hand, Chris had his most prolific scoring
month in April...but his turnover rate was through the roof.
Looking closer at the numbers, the most notable
feature in Kaman's splits is his consistency - for better or worse. The Stat guys - and I don't use this
pejoratively because I consider myself a member of that congregation, even if I
get to Stat Temple only on the High Holidays - are less high on Kaman because
of his lousy turnover rate (16.4) and because of his lousy defensive PER
(Hollinger even starts out his Kaman comment with, "I'm not a fan, but...")
Look. NBA Center
is sort of like MLB Second Baseman of the mid-1980s. I mean, once you get past Ryne Sandberg, Lou
Whitaker, Frank White and a couple of other guys, it's a bunch of Tony
Bernazards. There just aren't that many
to go around. Most of the
"centers" in the Association have moved to the 4 slot (Duncan, Bosh, Gasol), so
who are we really talking about here? An
aging Shaq and Zeke Ilgauskas? Andrew
Bogut? Eddy Curry? Primoz Brezec?
The questions for the Clippers are
(1) how to protect Chris on the high screen and (2) how to get him the ball
where he likes it in order to bring down the TO number.
Bottom Line: When you consider the kinds of deals Samuel Dalembert, Erick Dampier and Adonal Foyle secured, the Clippers will need to back the money truck onto Chris's lawn in order to retain him when the season is up.

I know there's no simple answer, but any tips anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

Vote Bono, Social Media of the Year
South Dakota State wrestling head coach Chris Bono (@ChrisBono) is one of nine head coaches nominated for the Elite Level Sport Marketing (ELSM) and National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Social Media of the Year award in the Head Coach category.
(Voting period for Head Coach opens Monday, June 10 at 7 a.m.)
The nine head coaches were selected after a nomination period for individuals who utilized social media effectively to market his respective wrestling program, all while building a personal brand.
Coach Bono guided the Jackrabbits on the mat, in the classroom and via social media. SDSU wrestling built its pedigree on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube through the use of its highly recognizable hashtag: #GetJacked. The phrase influenced Coach Bono's weekly coach's show, "Jacked Up! Mondays," and is also prominent on Jackrabbit wrestling merchandise. Bono also created the persona SDSU Blue Man, an unofficial representative of the team who also developed a social media personality (@SDSUblueman), as well.
The award winners are determined by a panel of judges assessing annual performance (60 percent) and an online voting competition by fans (40 percent).
The voting period for the Head Coach category opens Monday, June 10 at 7 a.m. and ends Friday, June 14 at 10:59 p.m.
ELSM is scheduled to announce the winner on Wednesday, June 19 at 7 p.m. via its Twitter username (@ELSMarketing). Winners receive a custom-framed awards poster and will be honored in a feature story on the ELSM and NWCA websites. Individuals will be recognized at the NWCA Convention in August, as well.
For more information on all of the awards, visit the ELSM website.
The complete release is available at the beginning of this article.

Cellular phones are no longer a luxury for most individuals. In fact, cell phone-only households have surpassed landline-only households in the United States. With so many people using mobile phones, privacy may be a concern.
The technical sophistication of cell phones is increasing by leaps and bounds, but it's important to consider how this technology will impact users' privacy moving forward. Here are some things to consider.
* Because most cell phones now have Web browsing features, advertisers who track Web site visits can obtain cell phone user information. Therefore, targeted advertising can be expected. However, the Federal Trade Commission notes companies must give individuals the option to opt out of targeted marketing. What's more, companies collecting data about cell phone users through the Web sites they visit or information they fill out on forms must protect that data and only keep it as long as is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business need.
* Receiving telemarketing calls via your cell phone is still unlikely, especially through an automated telephone service. However, users must avoid sharing their cell phone numbers with any companies who intend to sell that information to a telemarketing company.
Most telemarketing calls made to cell phones are illegal. According to the FTC, it is unlawful for any person to make any call (other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with express prior consent) using any automatic telephone dialing system or any artificial or prerecorded voice message to any telephone number assigned to a paging service, mobile telephone service or any service for which the called party is charged for the call. There also is no 411 directory for cell phone numbers. Therefore, the only people who will be in possession of any cell phone number are those with whom users share their number.
* Cell phones are highly advanced devices, many with tracking options included. An individual's location can be pinpointed in real time through GPS when the phone is on. Previously, phone records would have to be searched to determine a user's location. Users who don't want to be tracked should keep their phones turned off.
* Cell phones are increasingly being used as the primary method of personal communication - even phones issued by employers for business purposes. There is lively debate regarding the legality of bosses being able to review phone records or text message logs of employees, regardless of whether the call was made for business or personal reasons. Cell phone records may be searchable by police without a warrant in some areas. Keep this in mind when using the phone.
* Keep in mind that one of the easiest ways to invade a cell phone user's privacy is to simply overhear their conversation or view the information on the phone. Cell phone users often fail to take their location in mind when making calls. In public places it is very easy to overhear personal remarks or sensitive data. Therefore, users who must share personal information should only do so over a secure landline.
Protecting privacy while on a mobile phone is growing increasingly difficult. This convenient method of communication should be used gingerly and with caution in mind

Submission Eastman Kodak files for bankruptcy protection->
Snirt writes: "Following up on this story previously posted on Slashdot, it now appears that Eastman Kodak, the company that invented the hand-held camera, has filed for bankruptcy protection. The move, according to this Kodak news release , gives the company time to reorganize itself without facing its creditors, and Kodak said that it would mean business as normal for customers. The company has recently moved away from cameras to refocus on making printers to stem falling profits."

Dreams are made of better stuff03/24/2009
It was, according to the New York Times, a breakthrough in the study of dreams.
"(S)ocial scientists now have answers," about what dreams "mean," wrote Times science blogger John Tierny, "and really, it's about time."
He was referring to a meta-analysis published by the APA showing that "people engage
in motivated interpretation of their dreams and that these interpretations impact their everyday lives."
In other words, there is a selection bias in the way we interpret dreams: we're more likely to act on the basis of dreams that reinforce our existing prejudices, and less likely to believe in dreams that tell us things we don't want to hear.
Voila! Tierny wrote. These "suspiciously convenient correlations" mean that your dreams mean "whatever your bias says." Problem solved.
Saybrook's experts in dream studies are not impressed.
"I find it interesting and not a little amusing that one should do studies to show that our cultures and belief systems influence how we interpret dreams," says Claire Frederick, a faculty member in Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine and Consciousness and Spirituality programs. "From a strictly neuroscience point of view, this seems obvious."
Be a Librarian: See the World03/24/2009
For Annemarie Welteke, the only problem with her job as a librarian is the marketing: she thinks the Navy stole her slogan.
"You know how they used to say 'see the world, join the Navy?'" Saybrook's librarian asks. "I always think of it as: see the world, become a librarian. I know it's not so common an experience, but really the job of librarian is much the same throughout the world. Having worked in five different countries, I can practice as a librarian anywhere."
Recently she had a chance to prove it, when – as the recipient of a prestigious Fulbright Senior Specialist award – Annemarie served as a peer advisor to the national library of Bahrain, and to the library of the University of Bahrain.
For anyone else, this might have been the opportunity of a lifetime. But for Annemarie, it was one more stop in a lifetime of opportunities.
Annemarie's career has taken her from Japan (three years) to Ethiopia (nine years) to India (one year) and to the U.S. Here at Saybrook, she found her intellectual home – but of course she wanted to travel again.
Research Opportunity: Discover the "Power of Place"03/24/2009
We've all been to a "special place" – even if we couldn't explain what that meant. Some places are romantic, others profound, and some have history written all over them.
How does that happen? How do they get that way? Most importantly, could such places, and the way we relate to them, cultivate them, and care for them, have a powerful impact on what happens there?
Saybrook Organizational Systems alumna Renee Levi is heading up a new research project on the Power of Places to influence people and events.
The Powers of Place Collaborative (website currently under construction) is an 18-month initiative supported by the Fetzer Institute and the Berkana Institute that will "catalyze a new field of study and practice based on the premise that right relationship between people and the places in which they gather offers the potential for transformative action needed change in the world," Levi says.
Is a "Nanny" state a "healthy" state?03/24/2009
It didn't get much buzz in America, but across the pond Britons are still talking (so we're told) about a BBC commentary made last month by Dr Alan Maryon-Davis, the President of the UK Faculty of Public Health.
In it, Dr. Maryon-Davis says that public health has become a significant enough social issue that the government must intervene at far more significant levels to ensure participation and effectiveness. Sound like a "nanny state?" Yes, says Maryon-Davis, it does: and that's not a bad thing.
"Is the government 'nannying' us too much" to help prevent killers like heart disease, strokes, and cancer? Maryon-Davis writes. "Is it trying too hard to micro-manage our health? I say firmly - no."
Here at Saybrook, many faculty have been advocating a changing governmental role in health care for years: Mind-Body Medicine faculty member Marie DiCowden, for example, has overseen public hearings on the way the government – at all levels – can encourage best practice.
But at the same time, DiCowden says, the idea of "nannying" doesn't seem to get it quite right.
Building America's first "green highway"03/24/2009
Imagine a highway stretching along the coast from California to Mexico – with alternative, eco-friendly fuels available at every rest stop. Need compressed natural gas? Electricity? Biodiesel? Hydrogen? They'd offer it to every car that passes by.
That's the dream of three state governors - Gov. Chris Gregoire in Washington, Gov. Ted Kulongoski in Oregon, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in California – who envision America's first "Green Highway" across 1,300 miles of coastland.
If the idea can clear federal and state regulations … not to mention opposition from business groups who say alternative refueling stations at rest stops would take business away from nearby private entities … it would be a milestone in both American environmentalism and inter-state cooperation.

Emotion is at the heart of the heart03/09/2009
It seems that anger really can kill you: a furious heart can burst, and a sorrowful heart can break.
That's the result of recent research published in the latest issue of The Journal of the American College of Cardiology. According to the research, anger leads to irregular heart rhythms, which increase the chance of mortality, especially among those with already weak hearts. The effect has been observed, according to the researchers, across whole populations put under stressors – like the loss of a World Cup match.
That may be news, but it's not a surprise to scholars and practitioners of complimentary medicine.
For decades Mind-Body Medicine has been following the way that both emotions generally, and in tandem with the heart specifically, really do impact health and mortality, according to Donald Moss, director of Saybrook's program in Mind-Body medicine.
In fact, as Moss wrote in a chapter of a forthcoming book on anger and heart disease, the idea goes back a lot farther than that.
"This is not a new perspective," says Moss. "Aristotle believed that the heart was the center of the human body, the seat of the soul and the emotions, and a primary sense organ of the body. For example, he defined anger as a seething heat in the region of the heart. The 'cardiocentric' theory was widespread in the ancient world, and included an assumption that the heart was the seat of mental processes including thinking and memory."
Okay, clearly they got some of that wrong – but not as much as cardiology once thought. Research has shown for some time that there is a clear two-way communication between the heart and the brain – and the effects can be big.
Bargain hunting for religion03/09/2009
First the Obamas had the country in a tizzy over what dog they were going to pick. Now they're looking for a church.
You better believe that's getting press coverage.
But amid the clamor and hype about the first couple "church shopping," a fundamental truth about American life is being brought into focus: people really do "shop" for their places of worship today in a way that they never did 50 years ago.
The very idea that selecting a family church could be viewed through the same lens as selecting the family dog is a difficult one for many places of worship to swallow: it puts them in a "marketplace," a competitive, sell-or-die, environment where their parishioners are "customers" – and they can't count on customer loyalty. In fact, 44 percent of American adults have switched churches and even religions, according to a survey by the Pew Forum on Religious and Public Life.
"Constant movement characterizes the American religious marketplace," their survey says.
Lois Koteen, a Saybrook student getting her PhD in Organizational Systems, is familiar with these trends: her consulting work specializes in helping synagogues change their governance structures and staff approaches to better serve and attract congregants. In her experience, places of worship greet these with a sense of panic.
Meet our new students03/09/2009
Saybrook held its spring Residential Orientation for new students last week, and forty two new students enrolled at Saybrook for the Spring Semester, coming from California, Canada, Switzerland, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, New York, Michigan, Maine, New Jersey, and other points across the globe.
They come to Saybrook with experience at a variety of schools, including Seton Hall, Kent State, Mills College, St. John's University, Naropa, the Bangalore Theological Seminary, San Diego State, UC Berkeley, Syracuse Unviersity, and more.
The average age of the spring class is 40, befitting a graduate school most focused on established career professionals, and a slim majority – 22 – are pursuing PhDs.
Does that compute? Saybrook seeks community input on instructional technology03/09/2009
A school is defined by its people, yes: but at Saybrook, more than many schools, technology impacts how much access we have to our learning community, and how we can interact with it.
That's why Eric Fox, Saybrook's new Dean of Instruction, is conducting a survey of faculty and students to find out how they use and relate to technology. What do they want, what do they need, and what's the best way to connect them to their peers?
"This survey is designed to give both faculty and students a voice in the use and selection of educational technologies at Saybrook," Fox says, "and the results will inform an educational technology plan being developed."
It will also outline current and future needs – giving Fox a heads up if there are needs not being met, or challenges appearing on the horizon.
How to pick a cabinet that's ethical AND effective03/09/2009
It stunned a lot of us: no sooner had President Obama begun nominating people to fill his top posts, than stories of scandal began swarming around his choices. No one, including some of the most respected names in contemporary American politics, seemed immune: from tax problems to lobbying concerns, nominees began dropping out almost as fast as they took the call.
It was, many observers agreed, a profound indictment of a Washington culture that assumed perks and privilege come with power.
But it also put President Obama in a bind: on the one hand, he'd vowed an ethical and transparent administration. On the other hand, the nation is facing big crises: people with experience in government could be key to getting desperately needed work done.
When it comes to making a choice between ethics and experience, how do you choose? How important is it that the people making decisions pay their taxes properly, and how much does it matter if someone called upon to make fundamental change is a system is a product of the old, failed, culture?

process of the experience will be determined mutually by the work site and the student. The student is required to be an understudy to a
professional, solve problems as assigned, and produce products of value to the organization.
Credit for the cooperative experience is based on a minimum of 33 hours of work per academic credit. Classroom teaching will not be required,
but the student must meet with his or her instructor once a week.
For More Information Call: (509) 533-3429 or Visit:

Award winning airline present for first time at Riyadh exhibition
RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,24th April 2013: Emirates has a stand presence for the first time at the Riyadh Travel Fair 2013, taking place 23-26th April in the Saudi capital.
Concourse A in Dubai, the world's first purpose built A380 concourse, the airline's new route launches and its 69 weekly flights from Saudi will all be topics for discussion at the Emirates' stand. The Emirates' team is led by District Manager for Riyadh, Mohammad Bin Hafiz.
"Saudi is a major market for Emirates and the only country in the Middle East served by our flagship aircraft, the A380," said Mr Bin Hafiz. "This is a clear indication of the importance of the KSA market, where we are now up to 69 flights a flight from four points across the kingdom, including four daily flights from Riyadh. All these flights are non-stop to Dubai where they connect with our impressive global network of 132 destinations."
Mr Bin Hafiz will be accompanied by staff from sales, reservations, ticketing and Emirates Holidays.
Recently, Emirates Holidays, the airline's tour operating arm, announced it was making a series of changes under Marc Bennett, Emirates' new Divisional Senior Vice President, Destination & Leisure Management.
The Riyadh Travel Fair is now in its fifth year and is attended by the leading travel and tourism companies from within Saudi and beyond.
Emirates' history in Saudi dates back to 1989 when it launched flights to Jeddah. The airline was the first to introduce an A380 into KSA by upgrading Jeddah to a double decker service in 2010.
Emirates other Saudi gateways came in 1990 with Riyadh, Dammam followed in 1993 and services to Medina started in 2010. Next year, Emirates will mark 25 years of operations to Saudi.
Key passenger markets for KSA include the UAE, Far East, the Indian Sub-continent, Europe, North America, Australia and China.
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, can offer more than 100 tonnes of cargo capacity daily on flights leaving KSA.
Commodities on the move with Emirates SkyCargo include pharmaceutical products, dates, industrial products, mobile phones, machinery, spare parts and personal effects.
Emirates has 150 staff in KSA supporting areas such as sales, ticketing, reservations, cargo operations and finance.
In 2012, Emirates was awarded the Best Arab Airline 2012 award by Sabq newspaper at the Sabq Tourism Awards.

The other risk is soaking into clothing - that is BAD. There are plenty of lab rats who work with the stuff that will tell you that the best way to handle LN2 is naked.
An example of a really bad thing to do is to spill some so it goes in your shoes. You'll lose a bunch of flesh that way.
Naked and shaved preferably. Hair + LN2 = BAD too.

Dr. Ben Blau, a professor of finance, has a unique philosophy when it comes to teaching, a philosophy that he explains to his students before every difficult assignment or impossible midterm exam. He believes that professors who make students think that they are thinking are loved, while professors who actually make students think are hated. "My goal," Dr. Blau quips, "is to become your least favorite professor."
Fortunately for Dr. Blau, he proves his own philosophy false year after year. His teaching is engaging and rigorous. His exams are extremely difficult and require hours of study. He absolutely succeeds in making his students think. Yet at the same time he is entertaining, exciting, helpful, and approachable. Although he has forced me to think through two of his courses, he is anything but my least favorite professor.
Dr. Blau begins all of his classes the same way; he pulls up CNBC.com on the projector and asks the class what is happening today. This inevitably leads to a class-wide discussion on current financial topics, which Dr. Blau then seamlessly transitions into the day's lesson. Every subject that we covered in the regular curriculum of the course was applied to current news items. He used the discussion time to explain how we would use the information we were learning, and he used CNBC.com to show us how it was being applied in the real world. This activity is strengthened by the enthusiasm Dr. Blau brings to the discussion and by his skill at engaging the class and eliciting participation.
Professor Blau's enthusiasm does not only come out during the open discussion portion of his class, but it pervades his teaching throughout the class period. Whether he is teaching the capital asset pricing model, explaining arbitrage pricing theory, or branching out into other disciplines such as calculus, statistics, and business management, he is always excited and entertaining.
Dr. Blau's excellence as a teacher is matched by his ability as an advisor and mentor. He has spent several afternoons with me discussing research, my coursework, and my future, and I know he has done the same with many other students. He has been encouraging and helpful in every interaction.
Professor Blau is successful at making his students work, stretch, and think. His teaching style and general charisma betray him, however, as he fails to be anyone's least favorite professor.

The age of innocence is dead
Image via Elite Daily
There is a lot of controversy surrounding child pageants. People are obsessed with them. After all, there isn't just Toddlers in Tiaras. There's also a show dedicated to one of their craziest contestants — Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo. It's no wonder moms are convinced that their daughter will be launched to stardom, if only she could do something to out-crazy the other pageant contestants. Which is saying something, because they're going to have to outdo English speaking people who need subtitles:
Well, a pageant mom from England officially passed the tip of the crazy iceberg and got right down to its core. How? She took her 4-year-old daughter, Scarlett, and put her in a hand made Hooters outfit.
You know, maybe there's a reason that there are no Hooters outfits small enough to fit a person who barely knows her alphabet. Or even has hooters.
Leann, the 4 -year-old's mother, argues that "at the end of the day, little girls wear swimming costumes to the beach all summer." Okay, that's true. But those swimsuits usually don't say Hooters on them. And those kids aren't doing sexual dance moves that were choreographed for them by their mother. How sexual? Try DRY HUMPING. DRY. HUMPING. Check out 2:20 in this video.
Even if Scarlett enjoyed doing pageants, she still has no idea that her sexuality is being manipulated for the sake of a contest. Why can't kids just be kids? In the pageant world, the window of innocence for children is getting smaller and smaller. Apparently, for Scarlett's mother, that window closes at age 4.

Read: Post Game Quotes (Updating) (With Jack Edwards on Henrik Lundqvist Save)
The following are from Hockey Night Live:
10:15PM: John Tortorella:
- "I thought as the game went on we started to play better. Collectively I didn't think we played that well. We still had a chance on the 5 on 3 but we came up empty."
- "We didn't move the puck well, I don't think Nash touched it. We didn't make the right plays and it didn't work."
- "We started the season and we did not play well enough to win, Boston did."
- "Haggy takes a stupid penalty, Brian takes a yapping penalty."
9:56PM: Ryan Callahan:
- On the penalties, "They impacted our first a little bit. It's hard to kill that many penalties in a row and get everybody into the game."
- On the 5 on 3, "Richie had a couple of good shots, one hit me, but at the end of the day we have to score on it. I thought that hurt us a little bit and killed our momentum"
- On what they need to do " we need to increase our battled level, that is first. System-wise we aren't where we want to be but that is expected. We just need to increase our battle level and level of compete and we will be better."
Billy Jaffe, "I think the Rangers were okay tonight. They will be better tomorrow night with a game under their belt.
Ken Daneyko thinks that it will take about 7-10 days for Rick Nash to feel really comfortable with his teammates and linemates.
Dave Maloney on Nash, "How well he uses his frame. He protects the puck really well. We used to watch Jagr protect the puck in a similar way."
Dave on the 5 on 3, "it's a work in progress. I think Gaborik or Nash has to have the puck. You need your big guys shooting it."
Rangers Game Notes:
