We report on InAs pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistors (PHEMTs) on an InP substrate with record cutoff frequency characteristics. This result was achieved by paying attention to minimizing resistive and capacitive parasitics and improving short-channel effects, which play a key role in high-frequency response. Toward this, the device design features a very thin channel and is fabricated through a three-step recess process that yields a scaled-down barrier thickness. A 30-nm InAs PHEMT with t ins = 4 nm and t ch = 10 nm exhibits excellent g m, max of 1.62 S/mm, f T of 628 GHz, and f max of 331 GHz at V DS = 0.6 V . To the knowledge of the authors, the obtained f T is the highest ever reported in any FET on any material system. In addition, a 50-nm device shows the best combination of f T= 557 GHz and f max = 718 GHz of any transistor technology.

My history: I sit at a desk for almost 8 hours a day. Then at home I watch too many movies. I live a very sedentary life style, but I'm trying to change that. I'll be 48 in June, and I need to loose between 20 to 30 lbs. I weigh around 190 lbs and I'm 5'10".
I've tried running, and I can go for about 1 minute, and my heart rate is about maxed out and I'm so out of breath, I can't go any further. I've tried jumping rope, and again, I'm good for 1 minute and I'm out of breath and have a fast HR. So I've tried riding my mountain bike. No problems going down hill (GRIN), but I have a lot of hills and they are pretty steep. By the time I get to the top I'm out of breath and my legs are burning. I take TaeKwonDo two times a week, and the warm ups kill me. They usually last for 15 to 30 minutes, and if we do a lot of jumping rope, or squat jumps, again, I get out of breath real fast, and it takes me another 15 minutes (of course we're still exercizing) to even begin to get a normal breath rate.
I've searched the web and I've not found any recommendations for people who are just getting back into working out.
Have any of you been or know anyone that's been in a similar very poor physical condition, and know a good way to slowly increase my endurance and stamina?
I've got access to a set of free weights and dumb bells, plus my mountain bike, and a kayak and 5 gate slalom course, there is also walking, maybe a little running, and of course I'll continue with TKD.
I hope I've given you enough info and expressed what I'm looking for. If you need more info, please ask.

Amazing Events Unfolding in Guatemala: "All of the crimes that Rigoberta Menchú just described were crimes not just of General Ríos Montt, but also of the U.S. government"
via chycho
For those who have been following the story, below you will find the initial impact of the genocide conviction of ex-Guatemalan dictator Ríos Montt.
The majority of the coverage in the two videos linked below is with Rigoberta Menchú, the woman largely responsible for making sure that Ríos Montt was brought to justice. It is a powerful interview with an amazing individual, a testament to her courage, and a fitting tribute to the victims of genocide.
In the second segment, Allan Nairn joins the discussion for a short commentary, the highlight of which is the following:
… Read the rest
"All of the crimes that Rigoberta Menchú just described were crimes not just of General Ríos Montt, but also of the U.S. government. The U.S. prosecutors in Washington should immediately convene a grand jury with two missions: first, coming to the aid of the Guatemalan attorney general, who has just been ordered by the court to investigate all others involved in Ríos Montt's crimes, by releasing all classified U.S.
Today, dedicate an hour of your life to watching Democracy Now's coverage of Guatemala's Genocide Trial
via chycho
While every major news source is bombarding us with what's transpiring in the United States today, Democracy Now dedicated their full program to the genocide trial taking place in Guatemala and why a judge suspended the trial of the former US-backed dictator.
The following are the two segments presented on Democracy Now. They are essential viewing and well worth the time.

Wire Service Dutifully Writes Down Ecuadorean Government's Claims About the Assange Affair
From Reuters:
The Ecuadorean government shares Assange's fears that he ultimately could be extradited to the United States, which is angry that his WikiLeaks website has leaked hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic and military cables.
The leftist Correa, who has high popularity levels and is expected to run for re-election in February 2013, had developed some rapport with Assange during an online interview the WikiLeaks founder did with him this year [for the Russian Government's English Language answer to propaganda outlet Radio Free Europe, Russia Today].
Correa's stance has been largely cheered by Ecuadoreans, and there have been scattered protests at the British Embassy.
"The whole world should back Ecuador for giving Assange asylum and because this country is the first one to promote freedom of expression," said Mary Valenzuela, a 39-year-old restaurant owner.
Emphasis on credulousness added.
The UK's Independent does a slightly better job pulling apart the Cameron government's attempts to backpedal for its inept chief diplomat:
… Read the rest
At least one of the lawyers at the Foreign Office (FCO) expressed concern over the warning that Britain could use the Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987 to "storm" the embassy building and remove Assange, who faces sex crime allegations in Sweden.
No, Actually Ecuador Doesn't Support Press Freedom
Now that Ecuador has granted Julian Assange political asylum, maybe that means he won't be extradited to Sweden. So, unfortunately, we may never know the truth of whether he transgressed the bounds of consent by failing to use or intentionally removing condoms during otherwise consensual sex. Some Wikileaks boosters have already started treating Ecuador like an international paragon of justice and liberty as a result.
Of course, the various journalists who have been silenced by the Correa administration's various actions to quash internal dissent might take issue with the theory that Ecuador is a safe haven for the free press.
As SF Gate reported in February 2012, just 6 months before giving Assange political asylum:

Columnist Emilio Palacio had the temerity to question actions by President Rafael Correa. In democracies, this is recognized as a duty of the press: to examine the moves of those in power.

Amazing, pretty, robust, long-blooming daisy in sun or partial shade and grows on thin air apparently. Loves cracks in paving or walls. Invasive through self-seeding, so once established you'll never get rid of it, but easy enough to pull up unwanted seedlings as they appear. Gets untidy by the end of the year but you can shear it back hard at the end of winter and it will thank you for it. To propagate - if you think it desirable - simply hide a small pot of compost somewhere in amidst the plant and it will self seed in it, profusely.

I love this plant! I'm growing it in a pot because I have dogs who would pee on it if it was in in the ground. They pee on all the good plants, never the weeds. Anyway, this lovely, delicate looking plant has survived the very hot and dry Summer here in the Sacramento, CA area and with very little water, since we're on rationing this year. It's the first time I've grown it and I didn't know what to expect, so I'm very pleased. A very pretty and hardy plant! This one is in the backyard getting Southern exposure. I'm going to buy more next Spring to put in the side yards where, if they spread like others have mentioned, it won't be a problem. Actually, that would be really nice and save me from having to figure out what else to do with those places :)

I do love that this plant is almost always blooming however, it spreads like a weed so it takes a lot of maintenance to keep in in place. Even if I pull all of it out it comes right back so I suppose I will let it stay there forever. The flowers bring a smile to my face every time I look at it.

Bright mass of flowers, make me smile: blooms almost constantly, easy to grow, drought tolerant, part shade or sun. It makes me look like I know what I am doing in the garden. Seeds itself and has taken up residence in spots all over our yard. I realize that might be a negative to some gardeners. My garden is the northern face of a hill in Martinez, CA (sunset zone 17).

Flu is definitely in the area, said Harvey Crowder, administrator for Walla Walla County Public Health Department.
His department is now tracking the number of visits at urgent-care and emergency health departments by people with symptoms of flu, "so that we'll be able to start looking at patterns," he said.
So far, Crowder has received no reports of excess school absences, he added.
This week, the government just released recommendations about the use of anti-viral medications and made a fresh prioritization of who will be vaccinated when a vaccine is released.
Not everyone will be in line to receive antiviral. The drugs will be available for all those hospitalized with confirmed or suspected flu, as well as those with flu symptoms who are at risk for complications, such as kids under age 5, older adults, pregnant women and those with certain chronic medical conditions.
The priorities for 2009 H1N1 immunizations will include pregnant women, health-care workers, family members and care-givers of children under 6 months of age, people from 6 months to 24 years old and individuals between ages 25 and 65 with underlying medical conditions that can worsen the impact of flu.
Should vaccine supplies be inadequate, the subset of those getting vaccination against swine flu narrows, Crowder noted. That includes dropping the broadest category to kids less that 4 years old and vaccinating only health-care workers who provide direct care.
In the meantime, follow the mantra, he added -- "Cover your cough, wash your hands, stay home if you're sick.
If you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, lots of discomfort, call your doctor and follow that advice."

text: Sep 11, 2013 23:06 LSU researcher studies arsenic in rice LSU researcher studies arsenic in rice Advocate staff report Sept. 11, 2013; 9:02 a.m. Comments An LSU Agcenter agronomist will help determine whether levels of arsenic in rice are higher in different varieties and if the methods used to flood paddies affect arsenic content. "Can we change the water management practices to alter the uptake and accumulation of arsenic in rice? That's what we are investigating," said Dustin Harrell, who works at the Agcenter's Rice Research Station in Crowley. All plants absorb arsenic from the soil. But rice tends to absorb more because it grows in flooded, anaerobic conditions where arsenic is more available for absorption. The testing is being conducted in all rice-growing states, including Texas, California, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Winners attended a two-day small business symposium featuring executive education case studies and how-to workshops from leading content providers, including Harvard Business School, Babson College, Boston University, Next Street and R/GA. The Inner City 100 list provides unmatched original data on the fastest growing inner city businesses in the U.S. In the last 14 years, 720 different companies have earned positions on the Inner City 100, collectively generating more than $2.2 billion in annual revenues and creating nearly 73,000 new jobs. Chevron Corporation, Staples and Goldman Sachs are long-time sponsors of the program. For the 2012 list, winners represent a wide span of geography, operating in 46 cities and 30 states. The 2012 Inner City 100 winners grew at a compound annual growth rate of 40 percent and an average standard growth rate of 577 percent between 2006 and 2010. Collectively, the top 100 inner city businesses employ 7,965 employees and have created more than 4,635 new jobs between 2006 and 2010. Not only are they powerful job creators in their communities, but they also treat their employees well – a stunning 93% of the list provide health insurance. "We are delighted to celebrate businesses like PetRelocation.com that are playing a critical role in revitalizing communities across the country. Through their achievements, the Inner City 100 winners exemplify America's remarkable potential and the future of our urban centers," said Mary Kay Leonard, ICIC President and CEO. "These extraordinary companies demonstrate the market potential that exists within our inner cities and the growth that is at the heart of all urban entrepreneurial successes." The list is proof of concept that doing business in an inner city area holds a distinct competitive advantage. ICIC has been studying the economic condition of the largest 100 American cities for more than a decade and is working to revitalize inner cities across the country. Highlights of the 2012 Inner City 100 include: oEmploy 7,965 workers and have created 4,635 new jobs in the last five years. o25% are women-owned.

Nationally, only 21% of all companies are headed by minorities. o40% of their workers are inner city residents.

Kentucky does not have a school of veterinary medicine, but a limited number of residents are selected to enter training in veterinary medicine at Auburn University or Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. The students selected are exempt from out-of-state tuition. They generally need to maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.25 to be competitive for admission.
It is sometimes possible to enter veterinary school with three years of study at NKU. However, more students apply to veterinary schools than are accepted so it is strongly advised that all pre-vet students plan their curricula in such a way that the addition of a fourth year of coursework will satisfy NKU requirements for the bachelor's degree in chemistry.
To design a four-year curriculum that fulfills the pre-veterinary requirements and the requirements for a bachelor's degree in chemistry, students should consult with a chemistry advisor. Students should follow the sample curriculum for pre-medicine and pre-dental. With help from an advisor, they can adapt that curriculum to meet the criteria set by the veterinary schools of their choice.

New Ebola deaths in West AfricaComment on this story
Conakry, Guinea - Health authorities in Guinea and Sierra Leone say two new deaths are confirmed to be from Ebola, taking the fatalities to 170 and raising fears that West Africa's first outbreak is not yet under control. The new fatalities are far from where the outbreak began.
The officials said Monday that several other deaths are suspected to be from Ebola but have not yet been confirmed by tests.
Sierra Leone's Director of Disease Prevention Dr. Amara Jambai announced the country's first confirmed Ebola death was near Sierra Leone's border with Guinea.
Guinean officials said Monday that at least one new Ebola death was confirmed in Telimele, 270 kilometers (167 miles) from where the outbreak first occurred. Guinea also said it has eight new suspected Ebola deaths.

did you scream and yell in labor?
I just watched a video and I'm curious. I never did with either of my kids, I was super calm, God only knows how or why...
I also heard a woman screaming the night I gave birth to my first daughter.
I didn't cry at all with my son. I went into labor naturally and the pain wasn't as intense.
I was very affraid for the health of the babies. In the end, it all turned out okay, they are now 5 months, happy and healthy! :)
Quoting Anonymous:
awww, I'd cry if I needed a c-section too!Quoting Mcelly:
With my first yea, w my second, no. With my third I cried silently while they did a c-section.
Yes. I was 13, terrified, in pain, and having a baby. So yes, I screamed and yelled a lot. With my second delivery, I just cried, because it hurt, I was being induced, but mainly, because I knew my baby was gone and I'd be delivering her sleeping.

Young People Now Insult Me
1Young people now insult me,
although their fathers
would have been a disgrace
to my sheep dogs.
2And those who insult me
are helpless themselves.
3They must claw the desert sand
in the dark for something
to satisfy their hunger.#30.3 hunger: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 3.
4They gather tasteless shrubs
for food and firewood,
5and they are run out of towns,
as though they were thieves.
6Their only homes are ditches
or holes between rocks,
7where they bray like donkeys
gathering around shrubs.
8And like senseless donkeys
they are chased away.
Those Worthless Nobodies
9Those worthless nobodies
make up jokes and songs
to disgrace me.
10They are hateful
and keep their distance,
even while spitting
in my direction.
11God has destroyed me,
and so they don't care
what they do.#30.11 God … do: Or "They have destroyed me, and so they don't care what else they do."
12Their attacks never stop,
though I am defenseless,
and my feet are trapped.#30.12 trapped: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 12.
13Without any help,
they prevent my escape,
destroying me completely#30.13 destroying … completely: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
14and leaving me crushed.
15Terror has me surrounded;
my reputation and my riches
have vanished like a cloud.
I Am Sick at Heart
16I am sick at heart!
Pain has taken its toll.
17Night chews on my bones,
causing endless torment,
18and God has shrunk my skin,
choking me to death.#30.18 death: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 18.
19I have been thrown in the dirt
and now am dirt myself.
20I beg God for help,
but there is no answer;
and when I stand up,
he simply stares.
21God has turned brutal,
22stirring up a windstorm
to toss me about.
23Soon he will send me home
to the world of the dead,
where we all must go.
24No one refuses help to others,
when disaster strikes.#30.24 strikes: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 24.
25I mourned for the poor
and those who suffered.
26But when I beg for relief
and light,
all I receive are disaster
and darkness.
27My stomach is tied in knots;
pain is my daily companion.
28My days are dark and gloomy
and in the city council
I stand and cry out,
29making mournful sounds
like jackals#30.29 jackals: Desert animals related to wolves, but smaller. and owls.
30My skin is so parched,
that it peels right off,
and my bones are burning.
31My only songs are sorrow
and sadness.

text: I understand the idea of the questio, but am perplexed as what to put in the equation to get it to equal $38906.20 Here is the question and answer Your utility function is U = ln(2C) where C is the amount of consumption you have in any given period. Your income is $40,000 per year and there is a 2% chance that you will be involved in a catastrophic accident that will cost you $30,000 next year I have solved the first parts, and EU is 11.262, but the last section is confusing me What is the most that you would be willing to pay for insurance, given your utility function? To answer this question, first go back to the original utility to determine how much money would yield the same utility as the expected utility of taking the risk. The wealth that would yield utility of 11.262 solves ln(2W) = .98ln(80,000) + .02ln(20,000), so W = exp(.98ln(80,000) + .02ln(20,000))/2 ≈ $38,906.20. You are indifferent between the risky situation and certain wealth of $38,906.20 because they yield the same utility. Therefore, you should be willing to pay $40,000 – 38,906.20 = $1,093.80 for insurance. Any help on what my equation needs to look like to get 38,906.20?

Kim and Kanye postpone North's birthdayComment on this story
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have postponed their daughter's first birthday bash.
The couple's little girl North is set to turn one on Sunday, but they have decided to wait until next weekend to celebrate, so the rapper can focus on work and both of their families can fly to Los Angeles for the event.
A source told E! News: "They are throwing her a big party next weekend and Kourtney [Kardashian], Khloé Kardashian and kids coming home for it."
Kanye, 37, is also looking forward to spending his second Father's Day with North in New York City this Sunday, after he performs at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday.
The couple have planned a "low-key" celebration to mark the occasions ahead of next weekend's lavish festivities.
The insider said: "North was one day old last year [on Father's Day]. This weekend Kanye is performing at Bonaroo and they will fly to New York City for a low-key Father's Day and birthday party."
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's sisters Khloé and Kourtney, who is expecting her third child, are currently living in the Hamptons in Long Island, New York, where they are filming their upcoming E! spin-off series with Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick and their children, Mason, five, and Penelope, 23 months.
Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye - who are also eager to have more children soon - spent this week enjoying their "second honeymoon" in Mexico, after trips to Ireland and Prague following their wedding in Florence, Italy on May 24. - Bang Showbiz

Time for Fat Cats to Lap Up School Challenge; ANALYSIS Discovering Talented Young People Should Be the Joint Responsibility of Business Leaders and Teachers, Says John Phillips, Regional Director of the Institute of Directors
Some of the great business minds of tomorrow may be languishing, unrecognised and unrewarded in our local schools and colleges.
Those pupils and students might - if they are caught early enough - one day be running the biggest and most successful companies in Britain.
It is time for the business community to come forward and get into the schools; to identify potential and giving those who possess it every opportunity to make the most of their talents.
We at the Institute of Directors want to play a leading role in forging links between education and business to ensure that no one slips through the cracks.
Business is an exciting career for young people.
Along with estate agents and politicians, company directors tend not to have too good a public image.
We are thought of merely as Fat Cats but nothing could be further from the truth.
It is therefore up to us to spread the word in schools that business is fun, profitable and supports our society by creating wealth.
We know that it is often the academically brighter children that progress into professional roles - lawyers, accountants and doctors.
However, the Richard Bransons of the world do not necessarily have great qualifications.
Perhaps they may have just one or two GCSEs or O-Levels.
Sometimes they can even be regarded as a disruptive influence and do all they can to leave as soon as possible.
Great business minds need not necessarily be the brightest children in schools and the onus is on the education system and business leaders to bring on any student who might have the acumen for business.
Integrity, common sense and team work are just as important to business success.
Teachers often find it difficult to spot in their young charges the talents that might lend themselves to a career in business. It is a self-perpetuating problem.
School to university to teacher training and back to school may not be the best route as there can be no practical experience of running a business which is why education/business partnerships are so important.
If teachers lack business experience how then are we to expect school leavers to have any real sense of the business world and the careers they might choose?
As well as giving time to our young students business can also help by providing school governors.
Most headmasters are very well qualified as teachers but actually run quite large businesses with an average turnover of a secondary school easily between pounds 10 and pounds 15 million.
However, an arts degree may not be the best foundation for them to cope with their many challenges.
Education and business can come together in a partnership that proves beneficial for all concerned.
The school children can get an insight into what business is all about, while business leaders can tap into the next generation of business employees. Sometimes, in the past, there has been reluctance from business leaders to get too heavily involved with schools.
Five to ten years ago, schools were always short of money and companies were approached for funding, which tended to put people off.
However, the message now needs to be that schools need us to give time, arguably the most valuable thing we have but it is a double-sided coin with both sides benefiting. The IoD has been very involved in different ways.
We have a working committee chaired by a head master and supported by working directors.
The IoD has adopted some 12 schools across the West Midlands where we think we can make a real difference.
Last week, we took 70 children from local schools in Birmingham and Worcester to our annual convention at the Royal Albert Hall in London. While there, they were able to hear from a very high calibre of business speakers.
We do everything we can to support industry days and career advice and are very supportive of any practical live business projects. …

I miss already Sakura Trick.
In the end was a great series. A great mix of slice of life, comedy and yuri. Excactly the things that I love to watch.
Mitsuki is a great character. Her love/gay epiphany was just epic.
I loved hers and Haruka's hiperactive imagination.
It's a shame that we don't get too much Sumi Sumi too. She arrived too late.
Sadly I doubt that we will get a second season, with the low sales and all. But at least we got the manga.
I hope to see in the future...
- Haruka and Yuu properly dating.
- Mitsuki and Rina as a couple. (They deserve it!!)
- Kotone giving the middle finger to her family and running away with Shizuku to marry overseas.
- Mikan-san realizing that gay people exists.
- Sumi Sumi getting a big breasted girlfriend.
There's going to be a special event for Sakura Trick next month. 8/16 it seems. Dunno if it would be a S2 announcement, but could have some good news about something. Maybe an OVA or something.
Wasn't a fan of ST, but figured I'd share if anyone would be interested.
On the 3rd episode, absolutely love it.
my kik is "Shadow" otherwise i'll come on here from time to time

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Probably my favorite book ever.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt akin to the generation as it was described. I can't wait to read more of Coupland's books, especially Hey, Nostradamus!
This is definitely a quirky little number but I would not say it is the masterpiece it is made out to be in some quarters. It certainly has had it's influence though.
Definitely worth a read.
Not sure I understand all the reviews posted online whining about how pretentious this book is. The 90s WERE pretentious. But then I think every generation has their own version of it. Sadly, we didn't know how good we had in the 90s with our crappy cubicle jobs, now THOSE don't even exist. Coupland's "Life After God" is still by far my favorite work of his, followed by "The Gum Thief".
As a "member" of Generation X, I avoided this book for years. I'm forty-four now and so it was high time I found out what this was all about. Part of my reluctance to explore it was my misconception that this is a non-fiction book. Wrong. It's fiction, though it comes spliced with cheeky slogans, cartoons, new word definitions and even, at the end, some purposefully baleful statistics. When all is said and done for me this book was an OK time, but nothing shocking, nothing special. It seems to inhabit some land between Less Than Zero and Fight Club, books I enjoyed on first read, but there's not much plot here, just three friends hiding out in Palm Springs in the early 90s, not eager to blindly join their parents in home ownership, careers, possession-gathering or much else really. It's hard to say where Coupland stands with this misanthropic group, whether he endorses them or merely exhibits them. I have a feeling it's the latter. He appears to have found something interesting in the cultural water and figures it's worth looking at up close. Ultimately, though, what passes for intellection with these characters is merely thoughts of transparent amoebas. They're young and shiny new and want to prove themselves in the world. Fine and good, but don't look for heavy insight or gripping plot here.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 031205436X, Paperback)
Generation X is Douglas Coupland's acclaimed salute to the generation born in the late 1950s and 1960s--a generation known vaguely up to then as "twentysomething."
Andy, Claire, and Dag, each in their twenties, have quit "pointless jobs done grudgingly to little applause" in their respective hometowns and cut themselves adrift on the California desert. In search of the drastic changes that will lend meaning to their lives, they've mired themselves in the detritus of American cultural memory. Refugees from history, the three develop an ascetic regime of story-telling, boozing, and working McJobs--"low-pay, low-prestige, low-benefit, no-future jobs in the service industry." They create modern fables of love and death among the cosmetic surgery parlors and cocktail bars of Palm Springs, disturbingly funny tales of nuclear waste, historical overdosing, and mall culture.
A dark snapshot of the trio's highly fortressed inner world quickly emerges--landscapes peopled with dead TV shows, "Elvis moments," and semi-disposable Swedish furniture. And from these landscapes, deeper portraits emerge, those of fanatically independent individuals, pathologically ambivalent about the future and brimming with unsatisfied longings for permanence, for love, and for their own home. Andy, Dag, and Claire are underemployed, overeducated, intensely private, and unpredictable. Like the group they mirror, they have nowhere to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:08:30 -0400)
Three twenty-something young adults, working at low-paying, no-future jobs, tell one another modern tales of love and death.

Re: Re-Link Songs in response to skeelo221
If you have all your songs intact. Check in preferences, Advanced
Do you Keep itunes media folder orgainised
and Copy files to itunes Media Folder when adding to library ticked
If so then delete all entries from within itunes
File > Add to Library
Select the folder with all your songs in and when they import too iTunes it will place thenm into the folders they need to be in.

Re: Re-Link Songs in response to Steve Taylor1
I am hoping to find a solution to re-link the files so I can retain my play counts, comments, ratings, playlists, etc...

I do not know of one but the best source I kow of for AppleScripts is Doug Scripts

Re: Re-Link Songs in response to Steve Taylor1
Thanks I will try that when I get home.
Another option - I have an iPod Classic which has about 95% of my music on it. From what I remember though, the folder structure on the iPod doesn't match what iTunes creates so that wouldn't be much more of a benefit to recover from that?

Actually after reading the documentation for this script, it appears this simply moves (linked) items in your iTunes Library to another location. Similar to "Consolidate Library" functionality built into iTunes but at a micro level.

Re: Re-Link Songs in response to skeelo221
If you want to recover your files from ipod then this previous pst should help
1). If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
2). If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
3). There are also few things you can do to restore your music to iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Marathon Training Plan – Give It Your Best Shot
Your body just cannot move without fuel like a car and the fuel is the energy or the calories you get from the foods. In the period of training you will exhaust all your energy in running thousands of kilometers at a stretch. So training for a marathon is a great reason to start eating more nutritious food, which is what you've always wanted, right? The good part is, because you're going to be burning so many more calories, you may actually find that you're able to eat more than you usually do. You'll still need to pay attention to making lower fat choices, but you'll get to focus on items such as pasta, bread, and potatoes in order to fuel your workouts.

Using a clean install of Embedded x64 versions 775, 804 and 847, I'm able to import all of my disks (see Disk Management.png) and the Format list shows them all correctly (see Format.png). When I restore my original configuration (Backup/Restore -> Restore Configuration), the Fujitsu drive appears in Disk Management but is not visible in the Format or Mount Point lists. This is confirmed when looking at the disk_init.php source. I've checked my configuration XML and can't see anything obvious which would cause this. I noticed on the forum that a number of users have mentioned the same, however there didn't seem to be a conclusive answer hence why I've logged it here as I believe it may be a bug.
If anyone would like to view my config XML, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.
I've had a good look at my config and I appear to have found the answer. I had two disks as part of a mirrored ZFS pool using ada1 and ada2. I moved the disks to ada0 and ada1 but didn't realise the config hadn't changed as well so when I tried to add ada2, the system thought it was already taken. Editing the config with the correct drive assignments enabled the new drive to show up in the Format list straightaway.
