I'm here at PDC, and it hass been great to meet so many C++
developers. Of course, the best part of this week is that Visual C++ has finally
announced the new language design for C++. As I mentioned last time, I will
spend a while covering rationale and design behind this language design. Before
going through the design process and some of the history in the language, I'll
cover highlights of what we learned from managed extensions.
I could go on forever on lessons learned. A frequent
message that we heard was developers like C++ and wanted to use it, but managed
extensions were just too hard to use. More concerning is that some of the design
decisions in managed extensions actually prevented us from innovating in the
language. For example, the usage of pointers made it impossible to make use of
operator overloading CLR types, as user defined operators do not apply to
pointers. Based on significant feedback, we decided to redesign the CLR features
in C++.
Several things have greatly benefited the new language
design. First, we actively sought feedback from C++ community leaders. Compiler
vendors, library developers, and others were involved very early on. They were
given the opportunity to provide feedback, and we listened and acted. Second, we
started by setting goals for the language design. As more people were involved,
it was easier to get randomized with different approaches to solving problems.
By having a list of goals available, we were able to measure each of these
Many people from Microsoft were involved in creating a
solid language design. From the compiler side, Mark Hall and Jonathan Caves have
brought significant experience in writing the Visual C++ compiler and doing much
of the work that made the Managed Extensions language possible. Jeff Peil
brought a wealth of knowledge about the C++ standard, the internal working of
the CLR, and a keen understanding of how C++ is used in production. Chris Lucas
led the language design team for a while to set the goals and direction for the
language design. Herb Sutter facilitated the community involvement and
standardization process, and recently started leading the design team to guide
it through some difficult decisions. Anson Tsao and Martyn Lovell have been
involved from the libraries aspect – both building libraries with the new
language and ensuring common C++ practices were enabled by the language design.
Finally, I have been involved working on the language semantics, implementation
schedule, and language specification document. Of course there a dozens more
people who are implementing this language and actively involved in the design.
As I cover more specific areas, I will mention who was involved.
Knowing that, Chris Lucas is the one to thank for setting
the language design team in the right direction. Extending a language is much
more difficult than creating a new language from scratch. He started by reading
Bjarne Stroustrup's book, "The Design and Evolution of C++." Many of the design
goals of C++ still resonated today, and they were adapted to the goals we
finalized upon. Here is a summary of those goals:
General Rule
Design Rules
Technical Rules
Support Rules
There is a lot behind each of these rules. I'll spare
everyone from an in depth discussion of each one (someday it will probably end
up in a book). In the end, we had a very simple mantra that the language design
team lived by: Bring C++ to .NET. Bring .NET to C++. In that short phrase
lies a lot of power. C++ has so much to offer, as does .NET. It was our goal to
bring the best of both worlds together. In many ways, we believe we've succeeded
at tackling this challenge. As we continue to gain experience and feedback, we
are confident that C++ will continue to provide the power and flexibility that
make C++ developers the best in the world.
Next time, I'll share some
of the things I've heard at PDC as well as provide some background on the type
of developer the Visual C++ group is building a product for.

Case Study: Graniterock
For Graniterock, Keeping Trucks Rolling and Concrete Flowing Requires Split-Second Timing – and Unflagging Storage Performance
Real-time access to SAN-based data by laptop-toting site supervisors keeps road and runway construction at peak efficiency.
For Graniterock, which literally paves the freeways and airport runways that help bolster American commerce, data storage serves as a source of critical real-time intelligence. Concrete trucks form in a queue that requires precise orchestration to keep things moving on construction of a major freeway overpass or airport runway. That interplay – without fail – requires that data be accessed and transmitted between a storage server and a foreman's laptop in real time.
The choreography required for such an operation was not always a given. Graniterock faced the challenge of maintaining multiple, disparate storage platforms that were nearing capacity and lagging in performance. But fortuitous timing would come into play with the introduction of the CS240 converged storage array from Nimble Storage.
"We had multiple storage appliances—a SAN from EMC, a two-terabyte NetApp NAS, a four-terabyte Dell MD3000/1000i, a two-terabyte Dell JBOD, two Data Domain appliances and six Buffalo TeraStations," said Ken Schipper, operations manager for Graniterock. "Data was scattered over all of these devices, all with different management systems, all with different capabilities, and—worst of all—unable to meet our storage capacity or performance needs."
That's when Graniterock adopted the CS240. According to Schipper, the company might have standardized on the SAN from its existing vendor but chose to test a beta version of the Nimble array. "We learned quickly that the Nimble array could meet all of our needs. In our initial analysis, we thought we might keep some of the existing devices. But some were going out of warranty or near end-of-life. As we started using the Nimble array for more and more applications, it kept proving that it could exceed any performance highs we had ever achieved—and significantly."
"Today, Nimble is our one-stop storage shop. And we have moved virtually our entire storage operations to Nimble."
Overcoming Capacity Barriers of the Past
Having experienced a number of hardware data failures a year before adopting Nimble, Rick Boston, network engineer for Graniterock, said, "Only fully redundant systems would be placed at the center of Graniterock's operations."
"In the past, redundancy had always come at the cost of capacity loss. Our systems were configured in either RAID 5 or RAID 10, depending on how critical the data was. With RAID 10 you cut down capacity pretty dramatically. And we were getting to the point where our primary enterprise device storage was full."
In addition, Boston said that he and Schipper faced data protection issues. "We were really fighting a constant battle to maintain our primary and backup storage devices and keep them talking. It was taking hours and hours of time."
Today, with a new Nimble-based storage regimen, the ratio of usable to total capacity is high and capacity losses are a thing of the past, said Boston. "In evaluating the move to Exchange 2010, we also moved our Exchange systems to the Nimble arrays. They replicate to each other. We split the active and passive databases on the Exchange system between the two to give us a good measure of redundancy. VMware, our 85 to 90 virtual machines and Exchange—they're all on the Nimble arrays—and we're seeing much, much better performance than we had across all the systems that we discarded."
In its data center, Graniterock's Exchange implementation maintains an active database on one Nimble array and a passive database on the other, each replicating to the other. "At any one time, if we were to lose a mailbox server and a Nimble array, we would still have two active up-to-date production databases on the system. It's all part of a nice interplay between Exchange and Nimble." Boston says that they plan to add a third Nimble array and locate it at a disaster recovery site. The two onsite arrays would both replicate to the third as part of the company's disaster recovery plans.
"We probably have capacity to last into the next millennium," said Boston with a wry smile. "But, of course, somehow over the next five years, we'll fill it," added Schipper.
Performance at an All-Time High
Raw storage performance was the key concern of Boston and Schipper in the move away from disparate storage systems and towards Nimble. But performance can lag in an environment requiring frequent, routine system backup, together with even more frequent snapshots.
"We snapshot everything multiple times a day," said Schipper. "We snapshot our VMware volumes, our Exchange databases and our Exchange server partitions. We have literally taken every type of data storage we have and moved it to the Nimble array."
He said that Graniterock had experienced several storage issues with backups in the past. "We said 'Well, what if we could leverage the snapshot features of the Nimble array? What affect is that going to have storage-wise and performance-wise?' And we decided to try it, and literally, there was no perceptible impact. We can truly look at it today as a background process with no effects on performance. And the storage compression is pretty amazing."
He added: "The I/O is so efficient that those mail servers are hardly working. They're at about 5 to 10 percent. That's a real life-saver. With all of the intelligent devices in use – smartphones and iPads—our people are sending emails over these devices to correspond with customers in real-time."
Closing in on 100 Virtual Machines
For Graniterock, virtualization is key to a host of advantages, but always with the proviso that those advantages will not come at the cost of performance. Today, 85 to 90 virtual machines, previously on nine servers, run on the two Nimble arrays.
And what about the move of the VMs to the Nimble arrays? "We just add the iSCSI interfaces and build partitions on the Nimble array, set up the iSCSI groups, connect up with our VMware host and migrate each server from existing storage," said Schipper. "I'm pleased to say we've never lost a server." Today, he said, he and Boston are working on distributing the VMs more symmetrically across the nine servers.
On the move of the VMs to Nimble, Schipper called the performance boost "amazing." "Problems we had in the past, mostly related to I/Os that were backing up, we couldn't really troubleshoot. Today, what a difference: Those problems have all disappeared, and our VM performance is so much higher than ever in the past."
No More Command Line Interfaces
As if to demonstrate the importance of an effective user interface to storage, Schipper recounts events of the recent past: "We eliminated five backup and storage devices over a matter of weeks. Most of the storage devices we were dealing with had command line interfaces that made daily operations and management difficult."
"Now, everything that we need to do operationally we can access through Nimble's command GUI: the status of every operation, the provisioning of devices, you name it. It was a dramatic change. We can create a new volume in literally minutes. Contrast that with our past regimen, which required three days of planning, downtime on a weekend, and a couple of hours to execute. Or, for a major reconfiguration, the process could take many hours – and then we crossed our fingers."
"That problem has vanished. If we need a new volume, we simply create one. I can do it in minutes – and just possibly in under one minute! We attach our virtual servers to a Nimble array, and the implementation can start literally within a few hours of saying 'yes, let's make it happen.'" As for his daily operations, Schipper says that, with just one screen, he can quickly view a summary of system performance, error messages and exact activity on each volume. "It's all a matter of gaining the confidence that I won't be surprised. And, pleasantly, I've had no surprises."
Doing Business in Real Time
To demonstrate the real-time nature of business at Graniterock, Schipper points to the company's concrete management system. "We have five concrete plants, and all of the concrete truck mixing and dispatching is run from our concrete management system, which runs on the Nimble array. Concrete trucks are loaded, they're mixed, they go on the road, and they have a time of expiration on that concrete."
"It's busy, it's exciting, and it has to be real time. You can't have any delays in getting data to those folks out in the field. Ultimately it's going to cost somebody. It's like a highly choreographed dance," he added. "Drivers show up precisely when site workers are ready to pour. Site workers can't be kept idle, but neither can they tolerate having trucks line up and sit idle. Construction schedules are the lifeblood of the operation, and today they run like clockwork on the Nimble array."
Graniterock prospers with the growth of heavy highway and runway construction. The company has built overpasses in the San Francisco Bay area, including major Highway 85 and Highway 101 interchanges, and performs much of the concrete construction at San Jose's Mineta International Airport.
"In addition, our system is used in estimating required materials, equipment and manpower. Every field supervisor has a laptop that is connected to a back-end system running our serversand storage. We're only as good as our storage and our network."
Upgrades Without Downtime
Schipper and Boston agree that performance, manageability and reliability are the top three benefits they've observed in the move to Nimble. "During a recent HVAC failure the monitored room temperature reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and we measured 134 degrees on the Nimble motherboard," said Boston. "It didn't wince. Performance has been fabulous, and we've had no failures." And as for manageability? "An OS upgrade was once a major effort involving downtime. And you never knew what was going to happen. But with Nimble, updates are automated with the aid of its redundant controllers. The Nimble process upgrades one controller, switches over, and upgrades the other controller. It's just a really smooth, well-designed process."
That's quite a shift from the past, he said, when he and Boston would schedule an upgrade several months in advance and would endure hours of system downtime on weekends. "Now I say, 'OK, we're going to do a firmware upgrade, and I think I'll do it Sunday morning. See you on Monday.' With no interruptions, the job is done. Exchange keeps running, the databases keep running, and the VMware systems keep running."
For managing the Nimble arrays, Boston estimates that he spends no more than 10 percent of his time. "That's by comparison with the past, when we needed one person at 100 percent—with the possible half-time addition of another staffer." Schipper puts it into perspective: "We used to require a full-time expert in storage, but today that person can wear five other hats."
"I can't think of any aspect of storage in which I'd rate Nimble below A-plus."

If you're interested in attending the "Writing and Journal Keeping" Retreat at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, you'll need to register now. I spoke with the registrar yesterday who informed me that the retreat is almost full. The retreat runs May 23-25. The leader of the retreat is Fr. James Behrens OCSO, and I'll be there at least part of the time as his assistant, and it is likely that I will be giving a talk at some point over the weekend (but frankly, forget about me; Fr. James is an amazing, talented man so you'd rather hear him talk than me anyways!).
Here's the blurb about the retreat from the monastery's website:
Explore your personal connection between the inner life and the written word. This weekend includes time for silence, for journaling, and for reflections on the relationship between writing and the spiritual life. Suitable for professional and amateur writers at all skill levels, this weekend does not include personal criticism or feedback. Instead, it simply creates a space where you can write, you can pray, and perhaps even combine the two into a unified spiritual practice.
Suggested donation for the retreat weekend is $120-$200 (sliding scale), which includes room and board (once the retreat house is full, it is possible you could still attend the retreat as a commuter, if you live in Atlanta or are willing to book a nearby hotel. Ask the registrar for details). To register, call the retreat house at (770) 760-0959 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I ordered a burger. I live 6 mins away from the store. However, for some reason the order took a while to get to me so the bun was soggy and the meat cold. Not a problem, these things happen, i'll just call the store. However, when i called the restaurant to ask for a replacement i was told they could not do anything for me, even though i had been delivery cold and sub standard food. after some to and fro the guy simply would not replace a bad order?? I simply wanted a replacement. The guy was rude and argumentative. I have never experienced this kind of service in New York before and I cannot understand why they would not replace my order? I will not be ordering from this place again and would not advise anyone else to do so.

Let me start by saying I am a 15+ year vegetarian, born & bred New Yorker and in my younger days worked in the food service industry for over 10 years and what I experienced today is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered a pickup for myself and a coworker; one veggie burger & one turkey. When I got back to the office I found both meals had been packaged in the same container leaving the turkey burger partially laying on mine. When I called to complain they basically teated me like I was an idiot saying they would have been packaged separately if I specifically asked. Now I ask you; when have you EVER received a takeout meal mixed into someone else's meal? Me? NEVER! Because you could get someone with dietary restrictions or allergies VERY SICK. Its too bad I payed cash; since I had to cut off and throw away a portion of my meal I would have called my bank and had them reverse the charges had I paid via card. This establishment clearly DOES NOT UNDERSTAND food safety OR that the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. I will NOT be ordering from this place again.

I just wanted to express my love for your less traditional duck burger! I was at Mikey's Burger last night and this morning I am still dreaming about it! It is absolutely amazing! With the special "duck" sauce and onions combined with the Sriracha sauce as a condiment, I am absolutely IN LOVE with it! Delicious! The Black Sesame Milkshake makes a great companion for this burger and it is awesome too! I live in the Lower East Side and often venture out on food explorations, and I do consider myself a food snob. Mikey's Burger is definitely high on my list of places to grab an amazing burger without the extra fuss of having to wait for a table to eat and/or being on long waitlist from other food establishments. I highly rank Mikey's Burger with the renowned Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village for the burgers. Mikey's Burger is open till late and it's great when you have a late night burger craving and you need to satisfy your hunger after work or after attending shows in the neighborhood. The burgers are definitely a "Thumbs up!!!!" Keep up the great work guys! You are AWESOME! :)

My husband and I were at Mikey's tonight which just opened a few weeks ago. We really enjoyed the regular burger with cheese. It was really fresh and was told by my hubby how satisfied he was 3x. It was clearly a great burger. A nice guy named Sunshine waited on us. If you're looking for a great burger definitely give this place a try. While we were there a few people walked in asking for the lamb burger, which seems to be a hit with the peanut satay sauce. We'll have to try this next time.

Re: Skylanders Swap Force Wii FreezesSavageHam Feb 17, 2014 10:32 PM (in response to nlm2898)
Hey nlm2898,
Are you playing on Wii as well? Have you tried playing while disconnected from the internet? Can you try disabling the wifi or disconnecting the ethernet cable and playing the game? Does the game freezing happen with specific characters?
Re: Skylanders Swap Force Wii FreezesSavageHam Feb 17, 2014 10:28 PM (in response to Lilly2)
Hey Lilly2,
Can you please let us know if you've checked the the disc for any scratches or smudges? Are you able to try you disc on another console or another disc on your console?
Re: Skylanders Swap Force Wii Freezestfernandez Dec 27, 2014 7:01 PM (in response to Lilly2)
clearly there is an issue with this game and i'd like to see a true resolution. i am not connected to the internet on the wii when playing the game. it freezes more and more frequently when we play. i have invested a TON into this game and the figures and i think it's time for Activision to either release a new disk (as promised in October of 2013) or some other sort of permanent fix for this. i'm frustrated and angry that this continues to go on with no reply.
Re: Skylanders Swap Force Wii FreezesSwapForceBobby Jan 2, 2015 7:55 AM (in response to Lilly2)
My sons Swap Force game for the Wii has frozen twice now during play which stinks for him after he has 45 min to an hour into the game and he looses everything. I have heard to try and turn the interenet off during game play, but that this is only a temporary fix. Is there a patch coming out or can we get a new disc?
Re: Skylanders Swap Force Wii FreezesBethyMac76 Jan 23, 2015 10:27 AM (in response to Lilly2)
My son is having the same issue, our Wii is not connected to the internet and he had tried to go through the levle as fast as he could not stopping for anything and still freezes. And I have no way to contact Activision, it's friday and says phones are open Mon to Friday but it's saying phones are currently closed. Please Help @ATVIAssist

The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin affair is one of the most important and clarifying moments in American history. To those who would say that this case has been blown out of proportion, I say this: you are not paying attention.
Have you noticed how liberals have lined up behind the (false) narrative that George Zimmerman was a homicidal racist? From President Obama to Senator Reid to Mayor Bloomberg, the faces of America's liberal establishment are scrunched up in a howling rage over the acquittal of the neighborhood watch volunteer. Watching liberalism's reaction to the trial's outcome tells you everything you need to know about the raw, ugly truth of the left's failed ideology.
The reason for the disconnect between the right and the left on the Zimmerman story is that this case represents three of the things that liberals hate most about this country: the Second Amendment, "profiling", and the belief that this is a racist nation. Despite the fact that there was not one shred of evidence that George Zimmerman "racially profiled" Trayvon Martin, America's liberals have literally taken to the streets to denounce a verdict that was, by all accounts, a just one. That's because, in the immortal words of defense attorney Mark O'Mara, people were duped by a news media anxious to feed them a false tale of a man with a gun who defended his life.
I am saddened by stories of black families holding their children tight and declaring our justice system dead as a result of this verdict. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be treated differently because of the color of my skin. And my heart is heavy over a family losing their 17 year old loved one. But there was absolutely nothing in this fatal confrontation that could allow anyone with a sliver of decency or common sense to believe that George Zimmerman was racially motivated to kill Trayvon Martin. The evidence overwhelmingly supported Zimmerman's defense that he was defending his life. And that pesky reality is something that will never change.
While America's history of race relations can at least explain the emotional reaction to this verdict by many black people, that doesn't excuse or explain away white liberals who have clung to the lie that Zimmerman was a murderous racist who was just aching to blow away a young black man. But when you act as if you hate your own country and when you advocate for the elimination of key portions of the U.S. Constitution, it's pretty easy to understand where liberals are coming from.

This article looks into different Phen375 customer reviews to determine if it is truly the best FDA approved appetite suppressant pills on the market. Discussed here are sample reviews, what Phen375 is and how to buy it.
Losing weight is not easy – it takes a lot of time and dedication to follow the right diet and a rigorous exercise routine. Having good appetite suppressants that work are a key to success because they can help you control what you eat and they might also have metabolic boosters to help you burn more fat. Phen375 is one such product. Do the Phen375 customer reviews agree with its claims or is it another quick-fix scam?
Quick Look at the Reviews
Everywhere from gym clubs to numerous medical websites on the Web, many claim that Phen375 is among the best over the counter appetite suppressants available today. It counts as one of the fastest selling weight loss products and it has been tested by numerous athletes, dietary planners, and even medical experts to prove that it is efficient. You can't get any better than that.
Here's user feedback phen375 yahoo reviews :
Most Phen375 independent reviews give the medication a four or five out of five star rating, even on retail websites. So how and why did the product garner such a high rating with the consumers and what are the possible disadvantages to such a weight loss prodigy?
Here's a dive into how it works and what the main ingredients are.
The Main Ingredients of Phen375
Phen375 bases its main build-up on the highly acclaimed Phentermine, a weight loss drug that the whole medical community accepted as a leading solution to burning fatty acids. Phentermine is also one of the few weight loss drugs that is FDA-approved so knowing Phen375 comes from this background is enough to get everybody interested. Phen375 goes a few steps beyond however – it not only bases its chemical build-up on Phentermine but it also improves on what's there, making a newer, more potent weight loss formula.
- Boost energy to help you work out more
- It helps with your natural body metabolism, helping your body burn fatty acids
- Suppress your appetite so you don't over-feed yourself; this is essential if you are undergoing a strict diet
To better understand how it achieves these goals, consider the list of its main ingredients:
L-Carnitine – this is a powerful amino acid that breaks down fatty acids, therefore preventing the build-up of fats in the heart as well as in the liver. This amino acid breaks the fats down and then assists in burning out the calories, assisting in the metabolism process.
Capsaicin – this is an essential extract used to improve the blood's circulation (a requirement for efficient muscle building and fat burning). This process raises the body's temperature and this helps in burning fats faster.
Sympathomimetic Amine – this ingredient boosts the body's energy levels and is also responsible for directing fat cells to become beneficial instead of allowing them to sit and deposit in areas of the body such as your tummy or arms.
Trimethylxanthine – this is unique substance that lets your body use stored fat as an energy source, therefore giving you energy without having to eat. It is an appetite suppressant but also an energy booster at the same time.
DHEA – is an extract taken from soy beans and wild yam. It is used primarily for reducing body fat intake and inhibits in the deposit of fat cells around the body, instead directing fat cells to be burned to produce energy.
If you take the time to look at these ingredients bit by bit you'll realize all of them focus on either controlling your diet or by making better use of the fatty acids in you (such as improved metabolism to gain more energy).
Health Precautions When Taking Phen375
There is no doubt that Phen375 is the best weight loss solution out there today. It is an active weight loss suppressant and is perhaps the best appetite suppressant for women because the ingredients work for women as well as they do for men.
>> You can even find dozens of male and female-written customer reviews on the official website here! <<
Phen375 is also much safer when compared to its predecessor, Phentermine, or its competition, Duromine. As with all medications and supplements, there are a few side effects that could be experienced with those drugs. Some side effects are:
- Slightly increased heart rate
- Higher blood pressure
- Dizziness
- Irregular sleeping patterns
Compared to Duromine or Phentermine, Phen375 is much safer. There are no harmful side effects and you can take it to go along with your diet and workout regimen.
How to Take Phen375
Learning how to take Phen375 properly is one of the key steps to avoid experiencing the side effects listed above. It is always suggested to seek professional medical supervision prior to trying any appetite suppressant, especially if you are pregnant or if you have heart and liver diseases.
To properly take Phen375 it is recommended to follow the instructions on the indicated label. There is a 30-tablet package which is one bottle, good for one half of a month. This costs just below $70. There is also a larger package, good for an entire month, and this 2-bottle offer is just below $140.
The best way to take Phen375 is to buy the biggest package, which costs just below $230. This package includes three bottles plus one extra bottle for free and it also comes with a diet plan booklet. You'll be saving $70 with this package and the four bottles might be all you need to see your diet and workout routine through.
Where to Buy Phen375
You won't find Phen375 at your local Walmart or GNC store. It's not even sold on Amazon. The only way is to buy Phen375 online. This can be a boon for some but it is a big advantage for others. Since you can only purchase it online, from the official website and official affiliates, you are guaranteed to get nothing but the genuine product and not some knock-off.
Stop looking for appetite suppressants that work because Phen375 is the only medically-guaranteed product that does exactly what you need and want it to do. Experts agree, there are dozens of positive Phen375 customer reviews, and it is the only one that shows guaranteed progress!

There is no point in spinning -- conservatives need to face honestly what this election means.
A first take: Gov. Mitt Romney tried to win while leaning on only one leg of the old Reagan coalition: jobs, jobs, jobs, economy, economy, economy. Against a president with a poor record on the economy, he lost.
The Mitch Daniels "truce" strategy on social issues is a clear loser in this election. The Reagan coalition, which honestly may not be the pathway to victory moving forward, had three legs: values issues, national defense and economic growth.
Romney adopted the most ineffectual strategy vis-a-vis the social issues: adopt them, and therefore adopt the negatives for them, but refuse to fight for them when challenged. The GOP ended up defending rape exceptions to abortion -- our very weakest turf -- in part because we refused to make any arguments that reflected the electorate's profound distaste for sex-selection abortions, late-term abortions or government-funded abortions.
The truce strategy means we have all the negatives of our social issues and none of the positives.
Secondly, the Romney weakness. Let's be honest: The money guys bought the GOP nomination for a candidate who voters didn't like very much. Romney won by pummeling his opponents with negative ads. He lost the same way because he did not have a 5-to-1 money advantage over Obama. The "money primary" is key in the early selection process. The money guys need to re-evaluate who is a winning candidate -- or continue to pour resources into losing.
This is not an argument for Rick Santorum or any other particular candidate. It was just obvious that Romney could not win, and could not appeal to blue-collar voters, without pummeling his opponents with massive money. It's not a strategy for victory.
The most important point: Either we figure out how to win a much larger share of the Latino vote or the conservative movement could be over. Karl Rove's Crossroads strategy of appealing to Latinos only on economic issues is a clear failure. I think social issues are part, but only part, of a serious effort to appeal to Latino voters. We also need to show them we care about them by doing something about the DREAM Act, and religious conservatives should take the lead on this.
In the past, conservatives tried to trot out economic corporate voice for immigration reform. This failed to persuade the base of the party. Religious conservatives need to take the lead in making the case for some vision of immigration reform that communicates to Hispanic evangelicals and Catholics that we care about the well-being of them and their families.

IVHQ has a wide range of volunteer abroad projects available in Morocco, including Teaching English, Teaching French, Childcare, Women's Education, Sports Development and a special project during the holy month of Ramadan.
32.52 million
Official languages:
Arabic and Berber
Moroccan Dirham (MAD)
Time zone:
Weather and climate:
Morocco has a Mediterranean climate that is generally hot and dry for most of the year, with cooler, yet still mild, temperatures and rainfall during the winter months between November and March. Morocco has widely varying terrain and the climate varies greatly throughout the country. Temperatures can be incredibly high in the southern and south eastern desert areas whereas, the temperature drops considerably in the higher lying mountainous areas, even dropping to freezing point at night. In Rabat, temperatures reach an average high of 27°C (80.6°F) in the summer months and an average high of 17°C (62.6°F) in the winter months. Temperatures can drop to an average of 7°C (44.6°F) in the winter and it is generally always cold in the evenings throughout the year.
About the Morocco program
The IVHQ Morocco volunteer program is based in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco. In addition to Rabat, Casablanca, Sale and Temara and surrounding areas, IVHQ volunteers have the opportunity to work in the Atlas Mountains, Oasis and the Moroccan desert.
Volunteer programs begin on the first and third Monday of each month. During the month of Ramadan all volunteers will begin their program on the Ramadan Project. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for periods ranging from 1 week to 24 weeks.
Volunteers need to be 18 years or over to participate, unless volunteering with a parent or guardian. All volunteers are required to have adequate volunteer travel insurance and provide a criminal background check to IVHQ's local team on arrival in Morocco. Additional requirements apply for Teaching French, Women's Education and Ramadan volunteers, please read the project description below.
It is not a prerequisite for volunteers to speak Arabic or French, however volunteer work can sometimes be restricted for those with limited Arabic and/or French language skills. Volunteers on the Teaching French project must be fluent in French. Volunteers on the Working with Women project must have an intermediate level of French or Arabic. Volunteers can take advantage of Arabic and French lessons offered exclusively to IVHQ volunteers by our program staff in Morocco.
All volunteers are encouraged to complete our interactive pre-departure training, which is available exclusively to registered IVHQ volunteers. The training is designed to build an understanding of important aspects that need to be considered before embarking on an IVHQ program. It helps volunteers to prepare in the right way by providing advice on what it takes to be a safe, responsible and valuable volunteer. Try a sample of the training here.
Between 10 and 30 volunteers start on our volunteer programs in Morocco each month. What does this mean for you? More people to socialize and travel with, more people to meet from different cultures, more people to volunteer with, more projects to work on, more staff support, better infrastructure for volunteers and lower fees!
Morocco volunteer reviews
Read more reviews from IVHQ volunteers in Morocco here.
"This was such a wonderful experience that it's hard to accurately verbalize what I gained and how it changed me. Morocco has so much to offer, from minutia (Marrakech's freshly squeezed orange juice, only 4MAD!) to the glamourous and exotic (hikes through the High Atlas, stargazing in the Sahara, surfing beside camels in Essaouria) there is never a dull moment on these programs. The host families couldn't have been more welcoming and warm, the local staff were accommodating, the work placement was rewarding, the other volunteers were adventurous and interesting. This is not an all-work-no-play program, so if that is what one is looking for in a placement, Morocco might not be the right country; however, if one were seeking a stimulating adventure and an exciting volunteer experience, IVHQ Morocco is the ideal place for it." - Mariah Moore (Teaching English Volunteer in Morocco)
Morocco volunteer project descriptions
Teaching English
Although the Moroccan Government is working hard to improve literacy and promote professional development through the National Initiative for Human Development (NIHD), a large percentage of Moroccan children and teenagers are not given the chance to acquire marketable skills. These young Moroccans are aware that speaking a second language will enable them to further their education and integrate well into the job market. Volunteers work with underprivileged children, providing training in English and information technology. Volunteer tasks include running small workshops, assisting local teachers and organizing educational games and activities. Volunteers can also assist in summer camps. When applying to volunteer in Morocco, volunteers need to choose either Teaching English or Teaching French and if you can teach both languages, please outline this on your application form. As volunteers work with the support of IVHQ's local team and placement staff, they do not need to be qualified or experienced teachers to participate. However, we encourage volunteers to come prepared by completing some relevant training. Visit our Online TEFL course page to learn how to gain an internationally-recognized TEFL certification at a discounted rate.
Teaching French
French serves as a second language in many educated echelons within Morocco and while it is considered an unofficial third language after Modern Standard Arabic and Berber, it is the primary language of commerce and economics in Morocco. In order for young Moroccans to acquire marketable skills and integrate well into the job market, they need to have a strong grasp of the French language. Volunteers work with underprivileged children and teenagers, providing training in French and information technology. Volunteer tasks include running small workshops, assisting local teachers and organizing educational games and activities. Volunteers who wish to join the Teaching French project must be fluent in French. When applying to volunteer in Morocco, volunteers need to choose either Teaching English or Teaching French and if you can teach both languages, please outline this on your application form. Please note, volunteers do not need to be qualified or experienced teachers to participate on the Teaching French project in Morocco but we do encourage you to conduct independent training to prepare you for your teaching project.
Volunteers on the Childcare project work with children from disadvantaged neighborhoods through organizing and engaging in activities to entertain the children and help develop their cognitive skills. Volunteers have the opportunity to design daily activities for the children, incorporating teaching basic English, physical development activities (music and dance, theatre, toys and games), and arts and craft (painting and drawing). The aim of this project is for volunteers to provide underprivileged children in Morocco with new, enriching and exciting activities. There is also the opportunity for volunteers on this project to work within a special needs placement.
Women's Education
Many women in Morocco suffer from poverty, illiteracy and unemployment, affecting their social environment and in turn their children's education. Since the establishment of the NIHD (National Initiative for Human Development) in 2005, the Moroccan government has been working hard to improve education, health, and the promotion of income generating activities for women. The Women's Education project aims to enable local Moroccan women to improve their literacy levels and to provide them with professional development opportunities. Volunteers work in local organizations in Rabat, or in rural Moroccan villages, with local women and young girls. Volunteers will focus primarily on education and teaching during their time in Morocco. However, other tasks can sometimes include sewing, teaching art, arranging sport and activities, teaching French and/or English, computer training, offering academic support for girls in Dar Attaliba (House of Female Students) and occasional childcare. Volunteers with relevant skills can also provide training in finance, management, income generating trade activities, health, communication, women's rights and single parenting. Additionally, volunteers with a background in education can provide training to local teaching staff in best practice education and gender equality. These additional volunteer tasks are dependent on your program duration, as longer term volunteers with confidence in communicating in French and/or Arabic will have more opportunities to get involved in these activities, provided they have relevant training. Please note, volunteers who wish to participate on the Women's Education project should have at least an intermediate level of Arabic and/or French. We recommend this to ensure volunteers have a successful placement, as many of the women who volunteers work with do not speak English.
Sports Development
Sport and physical activity is becoming increasingly popular within Moroccan culture, as locals have begun to recognize the value it has in personal and physical development. In addition to fostering teamwork and building social skills, the involvement in physical activity helps to alleviate delinquency among young Moroccans in developing communities. Volunteers on the Sports Development project contribute to the growth of sport in Morocco through education and coaching of sports, such as rugby, basketball, volleyball, handball, soccer and athletics. Volunteers are also encouraged to introduce new sports and games to the centers in which they are placed. If you have a preference to teach a particular sport please note this on your application when you apply.
Ramadan Program
Ramadan takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide observe this as a month of fasting. While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food and drinking liquids. In Morocco, the most prevalent religion is Islam and around 98% of the population are practising Muslims. The Ramadan project provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to experience Ramadan in a Muslim culture, while helping socially disadvantaged families and brightening the daily lives of the children in poor neighborhoods. Volunteer tasks include teaching English, organizing workshops on ethics and values, running sports activities, organizing local field trips and collecting food. Volunteers who wish to participate on the Ramadan project do not need to be practising Muslims, however they are required to observe Ramadan customs while in Morocco. The Ramadan project is only available during the Ramadan period, which runs from the 7th June to 6th July 2016.
Volunteers are accommodated in a home stay where they will live with a local family and other volunteers. These families receive money from your program fee for support, food and board. It is exciting to stay with a family, as this is an opportunity to learn the Moroccan way of life, meet local people, eat local food, speak the local language (Darija: the Moroccan Arabic dialect) and engage in local customs and traditions. Living is basic, yet still comfortable, and most homestays have electricity and running water. Volunteers can expect to share a room with other volunteers; however in some home stays volunteers have their own rooms. Bedding is provided, but it is recommended that volunteers bring their own sleeping bag for weekends away, along with a towel and toiletries. It is important to note that Moroccan homes have a shared living environment in which Sdader's (Moroccan couches) are used as beds within the homes while also used during the day for sitting and dining.
Influenced by African, Arab, Moorish and Berber cuisines, Moroccan cooking blends Mediterranean fruits and vegetables with spices, typically imported. A typical Moroccan meal begins with a series of hot and cold salads, followed by a tagine (Moroccan stew) and bread is eaten with every meal. Lamb or chicken dishes are common, as is couscous topped with meat and vegetables. The consumption of pork and alcohol are prohibited, as per Muslim dietary restrictions and drinking mint tea is a daily tradition. Volunteers in Morocco are served three meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Bottled water is readily available in Morocco and volunteers should budget approximately US$5 per week for this (2 liters per day). If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know when you apply for the program so we can make arrangements for you.
Orientation is taken by our Moroccan team at the volunteer base in Rabat. Orientation begins on the morning of your chosen start date. Orientation covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program in Morocco – Introduction to Morocco, Moroccan Customs, Rules and Expectations, Language Lessons, Safety, Travel Opportunities in Morocco, Introduction to your Project and Placement. The orientation will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing.
Our program staff in Morocco offer Arabic and French lessons to volunteers, which can be organized during the program orientation and are tailored to each volunteer's current level of Arabic or French. Past volunteers feel that taking these lessons can help you immensely with your day to day volunteer work and communicating with local people. The cost for small group classes are listed below and only apply to groups of 3 or more. Individual volunteers interested in private classes can arrange these directly with the program staff once in Morocco.
Small Group Classes - 1 Week
2 hours/day US$136
3 hours/day US$176 (includes 1 private hour)
4 hours/day US$214
Small Group Classes - 4 Weeks
2 hours/day US$419
3 hours/day US$582 (includes 1 private hour)
4 hours/day US$775
First Day: On your first day of volunteering, you will be escorted to your placement by a local coordinator and introduced to the placement staff you will be working with.
Weekdays: A typical volunteer day is as follows:
9.00 AM Breakfast at the homestay or volunteer house.
10.00 AM Volunteers leave home and travel to their placements. Work and hours are dependent on the project and placement that each volunteer is working at. There is a tea break and lunch break with times varying depending on the placement.
2.00 PM - 5.00 PM Work at the placement usually ends. Volunteers are free to travel home, prepare for the next day or do some shopping and sightseeing.
8.00 PM Dinner at the homestay or volunteer house.
Please note, this schedule can vary depending on the particular project the volunteer in participating on. Volunteers taking Arabic or French language lessons spend half the day volunteering and the other half of the day taking language lessons.
During the weekends, volunteers have spare time and usually just relax or take the opportunity to explore other parts of Rabat and Morocco. Long weekends can be taken to travel further afield to destinations, such as Marrakech, Merzouga (Dunes), Tinghir (Ksabah), Fes, Meknes (imperial cities), Volubilis (Roman), Tanger, and south of Europe (Gibraltar, Andalusia, Portugal, south of Spain).

Everyone knows SharePoint has had problems. However, the Radicati Group just released a report that contains words new Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella must be more than happy to hear.
According to the Microsoft SharePoint Market Analysis, 2014-2018, edited by Sara Radicati, Microsoft ironed out the wrinkles in the 2013 edition and now offers a powerful enterprise collaboration platform for business users.
It's unlikely these claims will go unchallenged, particularly in the file sharing and sync space where companies like Dropbox and Box claim to offer easier file sharing and collaboration possibilities than SharePoint does.
SharePoint Collaboration
This is not the place to argue whether SharePoint reigns supreme — a topic that has been covered extensively by CMSWire over the years. In the debate whether SharePoint or file sharing vendors offer better enterprise collaboration, the only clear conclusion is that there can be no conclusions.
The Radicati report looked at the market for SharePoint in both the on-premises and cloud-based collaboration markets. From this perspective, it provides information on the current installed base broken down by business size and regions along with other variables based on surveys of Radicati's database of user populations, seat count, enterprise adoption and IT use since 1993.
This, in turn, provided three pointers on the way SharePoint is used as a collaboration tool in big and small enterprises.
1. SharePoint Functionality
According to Radicati, SharePoint is unique among enterprise technologies because it has no direct competitors, even if there are many vendors that sell products that can compete with individual components.
As a result, it is competing in a wide range of technology areas and against a wide range of solutions in a number of different markets including:
- Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
- Enterprise Social Networking
- Web Content Management (WCM)
- Business Intelligence (BI)
- Enterprise Search
- Microsoft SharePoint Market Analysis
This has opened it up the criticism that it has been offering a range of features that is too broad. The result, Radicati reports, is that many perceive it as a platform that had no clear focus and which didn't really excel at anything, even it did cover most of the bases for many enterprises.
In the 2013 edition, Microsoft corrected this through heavy investment so that today "SharePoint provides a formidable enterprise collaboration platform that covers many important business needs in a powerful integrated solution."
