HSBC Holdings and Standard Chartered stan.ln -3.2422011917280056% Standard Chartered PLC U.K.: London GBP552.1 -18.5 -3.2422011917280056% /Date(1461965715000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9371469 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 18116469694.3312 Dividend Yield 3.404424995471835% Rev. per Employee 159905 More quote details and news » last week coughed up a combined $2.6 billion to settle money-laundering charges from U.S. regulators, but the deals remove clouds hanging over the banks and clear the way for their shares to advance.
The stocks of both British-based banks, which have heavy emerging-markets biases, can climb by 10% to 20% over the next 12 months, although HSBC has the stronger hand to play.
HSBC (ticker: HBC) agreed to pay a $1.9 billion penalty, but that figure was significantly below some of the more bearish estimates of $4 billion to $5 billion. Standard Chartered (STAN.U.K.) took a $700 million hit. The settlements come at a time when banks are under heavy scrutiny from regulators around the world. Importantly, the fines are covered by loss provisions that both institutions already have booked. That means they can look at this experience as a painful lesson, dust themselves off, and get back to business.
HSBC's business-as-usual approach was illustrated a few days ahead of the settlement, with the disclosure that it is selling its 15.6% stake in Ping An Insurance 2318.HK -0.4659832246039143% Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. of China Ltd. A China: Shanghai CNY32.04 -0.15 -0.4659832246039143% /Date(1461960285000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 25951148 P/E Ratio 10.72181507880735 Market Cap 575249634906.117 Dividend Yield 1.1235955056179776% Rev. per Employee 2235200 More quote details and news » (2318.Hong Kong) for $9.39 billion. The investment in the Chinese insurer, which gave HSBC no control over strategy, was at odds with management's focus. Its exit should come as no surprise, and the $2.6 billion after-tax profit on the disposal will help boost the bank's core Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.7%, already a comfortable level.
HSBC's management has been winning plaudits from investors for its strategy, which focuses on low-risk businesses and reallocating capital to growth products and markets. It is also winding down its U.S. portfolio, which should boost its return on equity to more than 11% in 2013 from 8.5% in 2011, according to analysts at Bernstein Research.
In a sign that the strategy is paying off, profit more than doubled in the third quarter, to $5 billion. Cost-cutting is showing results, too, and should exceed the $3.5 billion target for 2012.
In contrast, Standard Chartered's 2012 profit before impairments is expected to grow at a high single-digit rate, year-on-year. The penalty that Standard Chartered agreed to pay will reduce its core Tier 1 capital ratio, which stood at 11.6% at the end of the first half, but the bank still will deliver a strong performance this year.
Its stock, which closed Friday at 14.99 British pounds ($24.23), trades at about 10 times forecast 2013 earnings of £1.48 per share, up from a forecast £1.31 in 2012. The shares have fallen about 10% from a 52-week high of £16.64 on worries about regulatory issues in the U.S., but they should retrace those losses in 2013, supported by a strong balance sheet and market-share gains.
HSBC's shares have gained almost 31% since the beginning of 2012, closing on Friday at £6.41 in London, while its American depositary receipts were trading at about $52 in New York. At those quotes, the shares fetch 10.5 times forecast 2013 earnings, which is pricey compared with some rivals but inexpensive on a historical basis. Citigroup C -0.9629788144660818% Citigroup Inc.

HSBC's A-plus credit rating, the highest among its peers, is reassuring for the bank's shareholders, as is a healthy dividend yield near 4%, which beats Standard Chartered's 3.2%. HSBC shares look likely to climb 15% to 20% in the next year. Analysts at Bernstein have an Overweight recommendation on the stock and a £7.50 price target.
Europe's banks aren't for everyone, but HSBC and Standard Chartered are among the best. Investors shouldn't lose at either bank, but HSBC's strategy makes it more attractive.

So I called the doctor's office because my son has the flu. He broke with diarrhea on Saturday night then more on Sunday, vomitted twice on Monday morning and now is back to diarrhea. He asks for food at times, but of course they are not the kinds of things one would feed someone right after the flu. So my question to all of you is what kind of foods would you offer a two year old who is trying to get over the flu and still has diarrhea? Also, I am nervous about the dr office not wanting him to come in and be seen, do you think after four days of fighting this bug I should be concerned. My DS is playful and normal acting minus the diarrhea. Oh by the way I am 8wks pregnant with horrible morning sickness so the sooner we get over these rechid diapers the better my stomach will feel! Thank you for any feedback you may have to offer.
What to feed a toddler with diarrhea?
I agree with everyone else. BRAT diet is the way to go. But nobody really addressed your other concern...you shouldn't be surprised the dr doesn't feel the need to see your LO. When it's a flu-like illness, they don't really feel that there's anything they can do. They just want you to treat the symptoms. They say it can usually last 5-7 days, so hopefully you're on the tail end of it and LO will just get better! So I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just give Tylenol for fever, lots of fluids, BRAT diet and if it goes longer than a week, or new symptoms pop up then call the dr. Hope that helps!
James Travis 3/21/2007
Our ped tells us keep em hydrated and watch the temp if the temp stays very high or they aren't having wet diapers then we bring them in.
Limit all dairy until his poops are normal. I'll give my LOs rice milk or almond milk if they like it. Probiotics are great-you can get a "for all ages" kind and sneak it into some food. Lots of rice and if he'll drink it, rice water (which you can make by cooking 1 cup rice w/6 cups water, then strain water). The starches from the rice help bind them up-and make sure it's white rice.
You might try limiting sugary foods and fruit juices.
No, NO dairy products or sugary drinks; these can make it worse. That includes gatorade. Give pedialyte if necessary but remember diarrhea itself is not always bad. Sometimes this is the way of the body ridding itself of harmful things. Try to keep him hydrated and yourself. Get plenty of rest. If you see a change that concerns you, difficult to wake, strange behaviors, etc., call the doctor or take him to the ER. Take care and try not to overexert yourself either.
My doctor says just a mild diet, no need to do the brat diet, just feed them normally but avoid dairy and sugar. That's pretty much it. Make sure they stay hydrated also. PP is right about the diarrhea, the body is ridding itself of harmful things so let it do what it needs to do. Just push fluids until he feels better.
This worked well for us: rice water, it lines the stomach and settles/calms it. Boil about 1/4 of rice in a cup of water, let it sit for a while in the water then have your LO sip on it during the day. He can eat the rice too, but the water supposed to really help with diarrhea.
Make sure he's not getting dehydrated - so give a lot of water. Pedialyte is fine, but it tastes salty, so some kids won't drink it. Last winter my YDD got a bad stomach bug with diarrhea for over 1wk. Ped's office told me gatorade was ok if that was all she would drink (she stopped drinking pedialyte for me, and refused all water). I watered it down a bit. Pops are good - pedialyte has those too - if your son will eat them. Also - I had the same concerns about the dr not wanting to see us - I was told as long as she's acting normal, has no fever, and is still having wet diapers (which was hard to tell her diarrhea was so bad) - there's no worries. Stomach bugs can last up to 10 days - I know - yuck.
Oh - and my DD got a HORRIFIC diaper rash - so you might want to use some vaseline or aquaphor or other diaper rash ointment/cream now to protect against it. Hope he's better soon - hated changing those nasty smelly diapers when I was pregnant.
Mom to 2 Leo girls (8 & 6) - I am blessed!
I also ditto the brat diet, but unfortunately, my ped recommends gatorade instead of pedialyte. I hate that stuff, but I use it. Also NOTHING for like 2hrs after vomiting. No red dyes or fruit juices.
I actually read on the internet that giving lots of water is bad for them since it diutes the electrolytes that are still left in the body. That's why they suggest doing the pedialyte and even gatorade, since they replenish the electrolytes lost during vomiting and diarrhea. Giving sips of water throughout the day is okay, but not a whole glass of water at a time. As far as looking for dehydration, look for lack of wet diapers, no tears when they cry, dry mouth, and if they are young enough, a sunken soft spot. BRAT diet should work with the proper liquids. You could also ask to do a stool sample.

Seattle Police are looking for a white female in her twenties seen with green leggings early yesterday morning in Belltown. That was the best description they could come up with, but there's one little problem. It was last call, in Belltown, and on St. Patrick's Day. Half of Seattle's female population had to be wearing green stockings. That's like looking for a scarf at a Sounders game, or a jaywalker on third avenue. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention, she also stabbed a guy. That might narrow it down a bit. So how did this happen?
Police say that during the Belltown exodus these two groups began arguing on Lenora between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. The shouting match escalated as the woman up and attacked the man. He punched her and knocked her down, so she came right back up and punched him in the abdomen a couple times.
At least, they looked like punches according to people looking on. What actually happened was she came up with a knife and stabbed the man in the stomach in the stomach. Twice. Happy Hour not-so-much for that guy who now gets to be called 'victim' in police reports. He had to be rushed to Harborview Medical Center with what paramedics classified as life-threatening injuries.
Before his friends could count their Lucky Charms for being alive, 'green leggings' was gone. She is still considered at large, so if you know who this holiday-conscious hellion was, or if you see someone still wearing green tights on not-St. Patrick's Day, please call the
fashion police. Anonymous tips are welcome.

- Low 90s on Sunday ties a decade-old Denver weather record
With the mercury soaring to 102 degrees on Sunday, triple-digit temperatures have baked the Denver metro area for three straight days. Hot as it is, the string will have to run longer to match the record.
Twice in recent history the mercury has climbed above 100 degrees for a stretch of five straight days, said Kari Bowen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder.
There were five straight days of 100-degree weather in 1989, from July 4 to July 8, and in 2005, from July 19 to July 23.
Denver's highest temperature was 105 degrees — a record-setting temperature reached twice— the first time on Aug. 8, 1878, and on July 20, 2005, Bowen said.
The Weather Service prediction for Monday calls for a high of 102, with 101 predicted on Tuesday and a high near 100 on Wednesday.
The temperature on Saturday climbed to 104 degrees, breaking Denver's record for the day in June, 102 degrees, set in 1954, said Kyle Fredin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder.
The average daily temperature this June has been 72.6 degrees. The record for the month is 73.5 degrees set in 1974.
The Red Cross has not opened any cooling centers in the area. Patricia Billinger, a Red Cross spokeswoman, said the centers are typically only opened in instances of power outages.
"When it's this hot out, if you can be indoors, be indoors," she said.
Billinger said people should open their windows at night — when temperatures go down at least 20 degrees — and keep them closed during the day.
Hot, dry and windy weather has contributed to wildfires throughout the state.
Eight large fires were burning in Colorado on Sunday, including the High Park fire near Fort Collins that grew to 81,190 acres after a flare-up Friday and the Waldo Canyon Fire spreading near Colorado Springs.
It could be a few more weeks before rains bring some relief. "Eventually in the middle of July and the middle of August we will have our wet season," Fredin said.

Hey guys can you help me with some issues on how to navigate through links to the directory or file it points to through the command line?
If i try to 'cd' into them it says they are not directories which of course they aren't its just a file but I can click that file (some of them) in the file browser (not through terminal)
For example there is a .vim folder in my home directory which I cannot 'cd' into it also when you install Ubuntu there is a Examples folder on the desktop and a link to that from you home directory. I cannot navigate it through the command line.
I'm trying to install some vim plugins which should go into the .vim folder but it's not a folder...it's a file which I can open up in a text editor. However most sites say to put scripts in sub folders inside .vim folder... i'm really confused with this, any help? I can't do 'mkdir' either if i do 'mkdir .vim' it says directory already exists....

BBQ helps give back
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Activities, raffle, auction planned
It's time to enjoy some barbecue, the company of friends and give back to the community. The Rotary Club of Downtown Auburn is hosting its annual The Spirit of Auburn Community Barbecue from 5-8 p.m. today at the Gold Country Fairgrounds. The dinner includes chicken, tri-tip, salmon, ribs, beans, corn, salad, bread and dessert. Event highlights are scheduled to include raffle prizes, a silent auction and special activities for children. Proceeds from the barbecue will go toward the Auburn Community Garden, Auburn Symphony, Children's Faire, local high school grad nights, Peace for Families, Placer County Arts, Project Auburn, Salvation Army, the Boys & Girls Club and more. Jeff Ambrosia, chairman of the event, said the club raised $39,000 last year and is hoping to raise $45,000 this year. "(The barbecue) is hugely important to the community because of the amount of money we are able to raise and give back to the community," Ambrosia said. "The community support we have received so far has been fantastic as far as corporate sponsorships. The small businesses in town have really stepped up to the plate." Barbara Besana, president of the club, said the barbecue has been an annual event for about 28 years. Besana said the dinner-auction also gives Auburn a chance to come together and reconnect. "We named the barbecue the Spirit of Auburn Community Barbecue, and that kind of epitomizes it for us," she said. "It's a real community event where people like to come out and network, and socialize and have good food." Tickets for the event are $25 for adults and $10 for kids 13 years old and younger. Tickets are available at the event or through any Auburn Rotarian. Reach Bridget Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq:BMRN) today announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Vimizim. Validation of the MAA confirms that the submission is complete and starts the EMA's formal review process. Earlier this year, the EMA accepted BioMarin's request for accelerated assessment for this MAA on the grounds that Vimizim could satisfy an unmet medical need and is of major interest from the point of view of therapeutic innovation and public health. Accelerated assessment has the potential to shorten EMA's review procedure. However, at any time during the MAA assessment, the EMA may decide to continue the assessment under standard assessment timelines. Assuming the Vimizim application remains on the accelerated assessment timeline, a CHMP opinion is anticipated in December 2013, and, if positive, a decision from the European Commission could be received in the first quarter of 2014.

Paul Williams Still Alive
- Studio: Abramorama
- Release Date: Jun 8, 2012
Critic Reviews
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Williams, who was elected president of ASCAP in 2009, speaks frankly and eloquently about his problems dealing with fame, and his recovery. And more important, he earns our thanks by resolutely refusing to let Kessler turn this into a clichéd documentary.
Mr. Williams's quiet integrity trumps Mr. Kessler at every turn. Self-aware and articulate, with a modesty born from confidence, he persistently uses the film to extol - and demonstrate - the rewards of recovery. His conviction brings necessary moral weight to Paul Williams: Still Alive, which transcends caricature to emerge an impressive personal testament.
The footage in Paul Williams Still Alive - old and new - is highly entertaining, even moving. But it's as though Kessler recorded the DVD commentary track first, then made the movie.
Johnny Carson loved him, and Williams had the credits to back himself up: As with Jimmy Webb, you could probably sing many of his songs without knowing that he's the author.
The film too often undercuts its goals by indulging its director's need for self-affirmation at the expense of the movie's far more compelling central subject.
The oft-hilarious push-and-pull between director and subject - Williams wryly notes that the film is turning into "the Steve and Paulie Show" - effectively hacks away at the celebrity-enthusiast divide. By the end of this perceptive dual portrait, both men are content to merely be human.
The film has a winning combination for all sorts of platforms as the story is highly intriguing and the music speaks, or rather sings, for itself.
An engrossing and satisfying picture, one that can be enjoyed even by people who have never before heard of its subject.
The movie is fascinating, though it smacks its own lips a bit too much at the tackiness of freak '70s stardom.
Too bad the film's obscure star will be a hard sell to non-music geeks or anyone born after 1965, because this film's a blast.

ButSometimes a documentary's narrator takes a vital or heart-rending role that helps explore the subject. ("My Architect," for example.) But this is not one of those times. Stephen Kessler continually inserts himself in ways that actually detract from his subject. Wish he would have spend less time navel-gazing and more time framing questions Paul Williams's fans would love to see answered! However, I was deeply affected by PW's work as Kessler sincerely was and am glad he made the film. He did provide an update on Williams and capture him as the lovable, sensitive, down-to-earth guy we always felt he was.… Full Review »

I'm in favor of forestalling the latter as long as possible by making sure we learn from as much as we can about those who directly and indirectly had a significant influence on our culture. Those who made their mark in the arts are especially vulnerable to being forgotten early due to our capricious tastes.
(You know, I'm surprised to see no one had reviewed this yet. Hmmm....)
The documentary succeeds because of the subject, Paul Williams. If you like music, I highly recommend you see this. This way, when one of your contemporary music idols mentions how one of Paul Williams songs influenced them or, indirectly, through one of their own influences, you'll know what of they speak.
Surprisingly entertaining. (Well, not that surprising seeing as I'd checked out Metacritic before renting it!)
Regardless, Paul Williams is one who, despite a great body of work, I'd expected to be relatively uninteresting in this day and age. Fortunately, I went with the reviews and am pleased I did.
Enjoy!… Full Review »

Fujitsu TDS GmbH
Fujitsu virtualizes SAP HANA based on VMware
The Fujitsu TDS GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Group and a full-service IT and SAP systems house and provides medium and large customers a wide range of data center services. One of Fujitsu's focus are offerings for SAP, and especially the offer for SAP HANA. This consists of a complete package, which includes the certified hardware, consulting and support in the implementation and servicing. Target of Fujitsu was to be able to offer SAP HANA from the Fujitsu private cloud, from a data center in Germany – cost-effective, fast and flexible as traditional SAP systems – and with optimized security.
"At Fujitsu we promise to make applications easier. To meet this commitment, the applications have to be easy to maintain and to operate. VMware helped us to achieve this goal. Today we can use the same processes and technologies for SAP HANA, that we use also for classical SAP systems."
Fulton County Schools
Fulton County Schools Optimize Personalized Learning with VMware Virtual SAN
"To put it in layman's terms, my customer, what made them so happy is tasks they were running on the old environment were taking thirty to forty five minutes to complete. And on the new environment, with VSAN, it was sub-five minutes."
Fulton County Schools
VMware NSX Helps Transform Security for Fulton County Schools
Fulton County Schools leverages VMware NSX micro-segmentation of virtual firewalls and be able to protect their horizontal traffic as well as the vertical traffic in and out of the virtual environment.
"We are putting a tablet device in every student's hands at Fulton County Schools and better securing our environment with VMware NSX."
Gangnam Severance Hospital
By moving to a VDI environment based on VMware View, GSH was able to comply with new data security requirements and improve mobile access to medical information, without requiring costly hardware upgrades.
"We tested old PCs with a view to minimising our procurement spend – and to our surprise, we found no significant performance difference between these and new machines in a VDI environment. So we were able to reduce expenses by continuing to use the current equipment."
Indonesia's leading food and beverage company adopts an ambitious virtualization strategy to support its rapidly growing business
"Virtualizing SAP results in higher availability at a lower cost. Most importantly, it provides continuous access to the system for our users, boosting their productivity as well as our revenues. This is exactly the kind of stability our operations need."
George Washington University
Standardizing IT Services and Delivering Faster with VMware NSX
GWU became a broker of IT enabling its students and faculty with secure access to everything they need including desktop virtualization in labs, development platforms, kiosks, and remote access. Delivering services now in minutes, GWU uses VMware NSX for security and multi-tenancy; as well as improving scalability by automating IT integrating vRealize Automation. GWU continues to expand uses including Horizon DaaS (Desktop as a Service) leveraging NSX to provide self-service.
"In order to become a service provider for the university, NSX gave us the final piece that we needed. We can now deliver scalable, logical, secure networks to all our tenants, whether it'd be other IT organizations or academic researchers."
Golf Course Superintendents Association (GCSAA)
Learn How You can Use VMware Hybrid Cloud to Extend Your Existing Applications and For Development/Testing
Ever wondered how you can extend your existing applications from your data center into the public cloud to achieve agility and CAPEX savings for handling seasonal workloads, geographic expansion and data center transitions with ease? How can you deliver a truly hybrid platform, allowing you to free up valuable on-premises data center capacity while developing and testing new applications faster?
June 23rd, 2015 8.00 am PST, we hosted a Google+ Hangout event featuring VMware experts and our customers as they provide a deep-dive into the two most common use cases for VMware vCloud Air : Extend Existing Apps and Dev/Test.
"vCloud Air provided us an Agile solution to assist us in our cloud transformation."
Golf Course Superintendents Association (GCSAA)
Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) runs on VMware vCloud Air
The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), with over 19,000 members in 72 countries, is the professional association for the men and women who manage and maintain the game's most valuable resource — the golf course. Today, GCSAA and its members are recognized by the golf industry as one of the key contributors in elevating the game and business to its current state.
GCSAA's mission is to serve its members, advance their profession and enhance the enjoyment, growth and vitality of the game of golf.
After deciding their IT strategy included transitioning to a Software Defined Data Center, they evaluated several vendors. They decided to go with VMware and EMC for server and storage consolidation and virtualization. They are currently 90% virtualized, with a 100% goal in the next couple of years. Currently 50% of their production applications are hosted in vCloud Air (Learning Management and Association Management apps) with a goal of 100%. These applications are important in helping GCSAA to get their customers to learn how to play golf better but also in achieving their goals of growing the business.
They also needed a cloud-based solution that would help them with international expansion rather than having to set up data centers in various countries.
"To stay competitive and to take advantage of new business opportunities, we have to be scalable but also have an environment that is reliable and redundant. And hosting our production environments in VMware vCloud Air has allowed us to grow in a rapid pace in order to fulfill the needs of our current members and our future ones."
"The best thing that we have experienced with VMware vCloud Air is that we are able to do more with less. And what that means is that having a managed infrastructure up in VMware vCloud Air allows our engineers to basically spin up production test dev environment quickly than we would have had in our previous hosting provide."
Group Health Centre
Group Health Centre delivers Access to Epic Hyperspace for 800 Care Providers in One Weekend with VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care
Group Health Centre (GHC) in Ontario, Canada, needed a comprehensive replacement of its user device infrastructure and a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). In the space of one weekend, GHC's IT team deployed the VMware Horizon® platform and virtual desktops for 800 staff members, providing anytime, anywhere access to vital medical records, increasing doctors' efficiency, easing the job of IT staff, and ensuring seamless provision of patient care.
"VMware just works better. It's more reliable, easier, and performs better."
Gruppo Zucchetti
The challenge was to overcome the limitations of physical infrastructure in a data center that had reached the limits of space and required electricity costs for maintenance. The company also wanted to provide its services as cloud. VMware vSphere allows all business-critical applications to run, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager provides security and reliability, while VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite simplifies IT activity.
"Our data center has always been a cost. In the last year, thanks to VMware, it's become a business. And everything seems to indicate that this will just keep getting better."
Hackensack University Medical
VMware Infrastructure 3 Creates a Flexible and Scalable Virtual Infrastructure That Frees Up Data Center Resources and Supports Growth
"Virtualization is no longer a 'maybe' for enterprise IT environments— it's a necessity. We need to reduce costs and make more efficient use of resources, and VMware Infrastructure 3 helps us achieve that goal."
Hackensack University Medical
Hackensack University Medical Center delivers healthcare IT as a service with VMware vCloud for Healthcare. Providers are able to access Epic with "the right access at the right time to the right provider in the right format".
"Cloud computing is the game changer between the haves and the have-nots. We are now trying to analyze and understand how to make healthcare efficient. VMware cares about healthcare."
Halton Regional Police Service
Halton Regional Police Service Dramatically Improves Information Access for 911 Dispatch Operators and Expands Mobility with VMware Horizon and AirWatch
The job of 911 dispatchers is stressful by nature. The efficiency of Halton Regional Police dispatchers was being challenged by the service's existing remote access system that continuously froze and/or locked dispatchers out, causing intolerable delays in receiving information.
Halton Regional Police Service deployed VMware Horizon to deliver reliable and flexible virtual desktops to its 911 dispatchers and reduce their stress. Additionally, they deployed AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management for secure mobility management.
"We're one of the safest communities in Canada, and we rely on technology from VMware to provide that top-notch level of service."
Hamilton County
The job of a 20-person IT team supporting 1,000 government employees gets more difficult when the County begins considering a major software upgrade. That's what IT staff experienced in Hamilton County, located just north of Indianapolis. When Hamilton County had to upgrade to Microsoft Windows 7 and Office 2010, IT staff knew many of its PCs weren't powerful enough to run them, so they looked to VMware and Unidesk solutions for help. In combination, VMware Horizon View, Unidesk, Dell storage and servers, and zero clients are enabling Hamilton County to achieve all of its desktop virtualization goals—from improved IT staff efficiency and enhanced workforce mobility to greater security and resiliency from desktop failure and disaster. The solution has increased IT agility by reducing provisioning times from hours to minutes, and improved anytime, anywhere employee access to data, applications, and desktops for all county employees.
"Desktop virtualization would allow us to reuse these PCs and extend their life. Plus, our public offices could introduce initiatives or application requirements at any time. Virtual desktops would give us a faster, easier way to respond to these requests while maintaining the high standards of security and service we are known for in our county."
Hartlepool College of Further Education
Hartlepool College saves £32k a year and increases student retention with VMware® Horizon™
Hartlepool College of Further Education was looking to improve the student and staff's Virtual Desktop experience, in order to increase student retention, grow prospect numbers and offer remote working for the teaching and administrative staff.
To solve this, Hartlepool College deployed VMware Horizon to offer end-users a virtualized desktop solution. This would enable students to access their own applications from any virtual PC in the college, whilst greatly improving user experience and reliability and PC performance.
"You can't overestimate the importance of technology within our college. For students, the level of IT we offer can make the difference between whether they stay on to graduate, or drop out. With our funding directly tied to student enrolment and course completion, we wanted to invest in an IT system that would impress prospects and enable current students to be more productive and achieve better grades. VMware Horizon did exactly that; while previously we spent all our time putting out fires and attempting to deal with the hundreds of help desk calls we received, we are now able to offer a smooth, reliable service for both students and staff. The IT department has gone from being an area of perennial complaint to one of the college's most valuable assets. The feedback has been incredible and we have increased student retention rate."
HDFC Bank Limited
HDFC Bank needed to launch hundreds of branches quickly to provide banking services to 40 million new customers from rural and regional India. The financial services company developed a 'Branch in a VM' concept to meet this objective and, between 2008 and 2012, opened more than 1,700 branches. The bank can now provision a new branch in less than 10 days.
"In the past it could take up to a couple of months to setup a new branch. With VMware virtualization, we can do this in under 10 days."
Heartland Payment Systems
VMware Software Defined Data Center at Heartland Payment Systems
Heartland runs secure transactions on VMware Software Defined Data Center, networking and storage solutions to offer small to medium sized merchants security protection to compete and grow as entrepreneurs in the global marketplace. Heartland's rapid growth in the eCommerce field keeps them focused on virtualizing their technology infrastructure in order to handle their diverse products and platforms while managing industry risk and optimizing performance.
"Every single one of the transactions that we process runs on VMware so we are utilizing more of the VMware environment now like vRealize Automation stack to put in those governance steps that need to happen on the back end while delivering infrastructure faster to our customers."
"Once we took a step back and realized what we were doing and the really better ways we could go about leveraging virtualization, software defined data center, software defined networking, software defined storage, we really kind of had an ah-ha moment."
"Software defined data center is a big initiative for us. We want to get to the point where everything for us is software and configuration. We believe VMware has that similar vision."
Heartland Payment Systems
Heartland Payment Systems is Secure at the Core with VMware NSX
With VMware NSX, the time for Heartland Payment Systems to deliver value through IT to the business has improved by 75%. Learn how they've leveraged NSX to improve the performance, reliability, and security of their network.
"VMware solutions allow us to be secure at the VM level and at every single point in our network. That kind of flexibility and security was not available with any technology before vSphere and NSX."
Hertz International
To improve operational efficiencies, Hertz International had a choice of either refreshing its existing infrastructure across its European locations at considerable expense, or implementing newer technologies. In addition to centralising the server estate, Hertz International wanted to simplify its complex desktop infrastructure, which constituted a considerable capital investment. Having over 4,000 PCs and laptops spread over 1,000 sites around Europe, upkeep and maintenance of these were real issue in terms of time, resource and cost. Following a review of the major offerings on the market, Hertz International decided to implement VMware View as it best suited the organisation's needs and would easily integrate with its existing server virtualization infrastructure. It also made a decision to replace legacy desktop devices with zero client Wyse terminals.
"By virtualizing our server and desktop estate with VMware, we've cut costs, dramatically simplified our IT infrastructure and transformed how we support over 1000 desktops in our service centre in Dublin. We're able to create and deliver even more innovative technology services to our users, while enhancing the experience we provide to our customers. The platform VMware has enabled us to build has given us extremely strong foundations to realise even greater benefits, as we add more and more services and extend the research of the programme internationally."
HP Enterprise Services collaborates with VMware Technical Account Management Services to succeed with virtualization—and new customers. Working with a VMware Technical Account Manager, the company's engineering group has built a center of expertise that helps HP customers move ahead with virtualization efforts. HP Enterprise Services provides a range of services, including consulting, outsourcing and integration, helping clients with technology-related initiatives involving everything from business transformation to the cloud, analytics and security. HP gains additional new business through this engagement and expertise in virtualization. Part of Hewlett Packard's HP Enterprise strategic business unit, the organization has more than 139,000 employees in 60 countries.
"[The TAM] has had a huge part in helping us demonstrate the value of our solutions to customers and ultimately, in helping us build business."

That looks like a VTOL from Crysis...with a black chrome skin pulled over!
What was really going on with the Tiberium fps game? From the two models Ive seen so far here on moddb seems like EA LA were ripping off the looks of stuff in Crysis :/
Hello there! I'm olvi. I play computer games, guitars and coffee makers. Ive been an avid PC Gamer for 16 years now (since '94) And I'm been a huge mod fan since Quake 1 came out (remember quake?) I grew up reading the brilliant PC Gamer UK from 96-2001 too..which I still love, and hear about on their podcast. Ill set up a small blog and prolly rage about the good ol' gaming days and promote mods I like or mods ideas I would liek to be made. Top mods 5: GloomQ2 (Quake2) ActionQ2 (Quake2) Empires Source (Half-Life2) Unreal Tournament 1 (lots of mutators!) Sven Co-Op (Half-Life1) Warcraft III maps! and many more Im forgetting right now...

Bwaaains!....the breakfast of zombie champions!
Yea...since EA took over the C&C brand, they seem to be cross pollinating more then ever...Westwood did some, but not very much..
Tiberium, Generals, Red Alert....whats the difference anymore...THEY'RE ALL THE SAME. They basically got the same units from the other franchises in them :/
GDI soliders with Crysis suits? hmm....I call haxx!
A female within nod, that can hold her rank longer then 5 scenarios? That's unheard of!
Prolly from when they used to help master chief out :o
Is that a veggie brain island in middle of the sea? hmm...
this was the truly wtf-unit in generals...I still haven't gotten over the fact they added it :o
Halloween is coming up in couple of months...why not give it ago! :D
Yuri Cousteau, bodly going where no mad genius has gone before..
lolwut? USA vs GLA vs China vs The Roman Empire? wtf? :D
Looks like Mario has to bring out the complimentary cup of coffee and biscuits, now that Mrs. Koopa is making a surprise visit ^^
What game is this? Shinobi? Ninja Gaiden?
Yea I played SMB Land 1&2 on my friend's gameboy (green and black display one) when I was a kid in the early-mid 90s. It sure was great!
Whats that CONFLICT ZONE game? Is it the rts that came out about 10-8 years ago? Where you have to have high media rating to keep getting funds for the battlefield or the approval of the media to continue waging war in a current day military world?
I played a demo of such an rts, and would be delighted if anyone remembers the name of it.
It looked sort of like that screen shot of that game Conflict Zone above..
lol those yuri walls with mind control towers looks epic! :D
sounds very interesting! Keep it up!
someone should really do a decent HD remix or something of Doom 1&2. The doomsday engine port is pretty sweet also...but more do a something more contemporary that looks good, keeps it true to the original, and does kill the gfx card when you run it!
looks great...I think you'd get more ppl into freespace if you would make a multiplayer standalone version of it too. If you look at Eternal Silence for Source, its been pretty successful too...people know of it more then freespace...even thogh it borrows a lot for freespace.
this is for cnc3 I presume?
heh I started out drinking Olvi cxx as a 15 year old...but after I turned 18 I started doing Karhu beer instead...its not as aggro in its taste like Lapin Kulta...but it was less then 10 years ago now heh
lol my sister likes it but I despise it lol
Yea! I would watch the weather forecast too a lot more...if she was doing it ;)
since Im finnish...I tend to like it a bit more chilly...cos Im a chill laidback kind of guy...so 15-18 ¤C is good enough for me...
So Ive been melting when its been 28-30 celsius here sometimes this summer :|
lol I like the guy's motivation and attitude in the introduction text...he has the proper mentality to get a project going. Jump straight into it!
Love Sven Co-op to death! Hope the development runs smoother then planned ;)
I dont know if this is still a one man opertation, or if theres more ppl involved making sven co-op...but I absolutely LOVE IT!! Glad to see those new additions implemented...looks like its becoming almost ints own game!
Aaw...not this christmas but the next one? *sad face*
Maybe you can get some help with it from the community or have more ppl work on it? It would be great if it would come out in some form for this christmas...or just after new year's!
Yea, take your time! Its better to get it done properly and then release it. But I do have to admit I wanna play it soon :)

October 6th, 2010
Move over little black book, there is a new guide in town - and it's wearing red.
The results for New York City's 2011 Michelin Guide were announced today, and 57 area restaurants earned one or more of the guide's highest honor - the Michelin star.
The Michelin Guide, or Le Guide Michelin, originated in France in 1900 and has since then offered its notes, recommendations and ratings on restaurants and hotels in select cities around the globe. It published its first New York City edition in 2005.
"When you become an inspector, it's a bit like the Witness Protection Program - except the food is much better," explained the French director of the Michelin Guides, Jean-Luc Naret.
The ratings for the guide are as follows:
Three stars - "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. One always eats here extremely well, sometimes superbly. Distinctive dishes are precisely executed, using superlative ingredients."
Two stars - "Excellent cuisine, worth a detour. Skillfully and carefully crafted dishes of outstanding quality."
One star - "A very good restaurant in its category. A place offering cuisine prepared to a consistently high standard."
No New York restaurants dropped from their 2010 three- or two-star rating. Two restaurants, Perry Street and Insieme, lost their sole star from 2010 – while Chef Table at Brooklyn Fare entered the guide for the first time with not one, but two stars.
New York City also had more restaurants than any other city in the world in "The Bib Gourmand" category - where a meal (two dishes plus a glass of wine or dessert) must cost less than $40 before tax and gratuity. For the sake of space, the complete list of the 95 Bib Gourmand selections can be found online here.
"The fact that New York received so many this year - 95, which is a lot compared to the 65 of Paris and the 62 of London - it really shows that New York is well-responsive to the recession time," said Naret.
And without further ado, the list:
Three Michelin stars
Two Michelin stars
One Michelin star

Movie Review
Cold In JulyWednesday 25 Jun 2014
Director: Jim Mickle
Starring: Michael C Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw
Duration: 110 minutes
Set in 1989, the thriller Cold in July is based on the novel of the same title, written by Joe R Lonsdale. Now it can happen that a middling, or even poor novel, can sometimes make a very fine film. However, in this case, if Cold in July had been a better novel, then the film on which it is based would have been much stronger.
With Sam Shepard on board, it couldn't have been any other way, all that economy of interpretation, as though his performance were a masterclass in how it should be done. Trouble is that the story, which begins so promisingly, tuns into a rather prolonged vengeance thriller. So it just ends up looking like so many other vengeance thrillers you have already seen, trust me.
Richard Dane (Michael C Hall of Dexter) is the father awoken in the middle of the night by his wife, who hears a noise. Dane surprises the young, masked intruder and shoots him in cold blood. After the police have been and gone, and the body's been taken away, Dane begins to suffer guilt. It was self-defence, the cops say it won't even go to court, but still . . .
So, it looks like it's going to be a small-town nightmare of social ostracisation and conflict, a tightly-coiled story involving an ordinary, decent family. Dane, himself the father of a young son, has killed a young man who didn't get a chance to rob anything, who displayed no weapon, and whose apparent father (Shepard) is out of prison on parole.
The morning after the killing, the news has spread like wildfire. Dane is uneasy and tormented and his wife Ann feels bad vibes when she drops their son off at school.
Would that the movie had just taken that opening section of the novel and developed its own scenario accordingly, dispensing with the rest of Lonsdale's mediocre, rather ho hum story. Because Cold in July turns into a disappointing affair featuring crooked cops, and a picaresque chase after the makers of video nasties, with Don Johnson playing a rather colourful private investigator.
It's like the genesis of two different movies are lurking within the same script and the two strands just don't gel.
Pity - with an original script, only tangentially based on the novel, it could have been great, given the skilled direction, sense of pace and atmosphere and, of course, Sam Shepard.

Brocade's Direction Is Now Clear
shopping spree, could do this deal just to play defense and to keep Brocade out of the hands of EMC and possibly Oracle (ORCL).As of this writing shares of Brocade are trading at more than $8 following a Tuesday close of $6.90. There's the obvious concern that buyers may have gotten overexuberant. But as enterprise spending continues to recover, there's justification for the optimism. And even if there is a pullback, the chance that this stock will appreciate over time becomes greater, especially given how well management has cleaned up the balance sheet. It's going to be tough to recommend a stock that has soared to a new 52-week high. But I still see some upside potential here. Granted, the stock does not offer the safety of Cisco. But I think for investors with a high frustration thresholds and an appetite for risk, Brocade can be solid play in the enterprise storage/network segment for the next 12 months. At the time of publication, the author held no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Follow @saintssense This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.After such a strong performance, I imagine talks of an acquisition will re-emerge and that Cisco will once again be at the top of the list of suitors. On many levels, this seems sensible to me. Not only does Cisco have the financial means to make this deal happen tomorrow, but the two companies would have obvious synergies. What's more, Brocade's ability to more than double its free-cash-flow position over the past five years makes the company hard to pass up. Plus, Brocade would help strengthen Cisco's enterprise and cloud position, while Cisco, which has been on a recent

It's great because as the title of the question changes, the search engines will key in to the new URL but all the old URLs will still work.
Jeff mentioned in one of the podcasts - at the time the Flair feature was being announced - that he regretted some design decisions he had made when it came to these forms. Specifically, he was troubled by his pseudo-verbs, as in:

It was a bit unclear which of these verb forms he ended up preferring.

After the speakers remark, there will be a question and answer session. (Operator Instructions) Thank you. I will now turn the call over to Mr. Brad Holiday Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Holiday you may begin.
Bradley Holiday
Thank you and good afternoon everyone welcome to Callaway Golf Company fourth quarter 2009 earnings conference call. Joining me today is George Fellows, President and CEO of Callaway Golf. During today's conference call, George will provide some opening remarks and I will provide an overview of the company's financial results and we will then open the call for questions.
I would like to point out that any comments made about future performance events or circumstances including statements relating to future growth, estimated sales, gross margins, operating expenses earnings per share, estimated charges and benefits related to the company's gross margin initiatives, the company's estimated 2010 tax rate foreign currency rate, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization expenses are forward-looking statements subject to safe harbor protection under the federal securities law.
Such statements reflect our best judgment today based on current market trends and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties applicable to the company and its business. For details concerning these and other risks and uncertainties you should consult our earnings release issued today as well as part two, item 1A of our most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30th, 2009, filed with the SEC together with the company's other reports subsequently filed with the SEC from time-to-time.
In addition during the call in order to assist interested parties with period over period comparisons on consistent and comparable basis, we will provide certain pro-forma information after the company's performance for 2009 and 2008 excluding charges associated with the company's gross margin initiatives and for 2008 again associated with the company's prior and reversal of energy derivative valuation account.
We will also provide information after the company's operating results on a currency neutral basis. In order to evaluate the company's core operating performance from the cash generation perspective we will also provide information concerning the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. This pro-forma information may include non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of regulation G.
The information provided on the call today in the earnings release we issued today include a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The earnings release is available on the investor relations section of the company's website at www.callawaygolf.com.
I would now like to turn the call over to George for a few opening remarks.
George Fellows
Thanks Brad and thank you all for joining us, the worldwide economy in general and the golf industry specifically have weathered the most severe downturn since the great depression and certainly in most of our collected professional careers. That fact has been certainly proclaimed quite prominently ad nauseum by most economic pundits. What is more important to note now however is that we come through this most trying period in a very solid condition and important way to our cautiously optimistic about prospects for significantly improved 2010.
While we would be naive to think that all bad influences are fully behind us, it would be far too negative not to recognize the many improvement signs pointing towards recovery in significant parts if not in total during the 2010 season. Going to more detail, to just highlight some of the indicators that give us optimism. Leading economic indicator has been pointing up for nine consecutive months supporting some of you that the recession has been ended, and we are in our recovery mode about not necessarily a rapid one.
Asia and South Pacific are clearly on the upswing and have been for more than one quarter. These ways appears to be leading the U.S. and Europe in their economic recovery and represent a important and profitable part of our business. As that head winds are reversed and are likely to restore meaningful portion of what was taken in 2009.
The trade outlook while cautious is generally quite positive with the pre-books of the new products in line with our expectations. Overall, retail inventories are in very healthy shape and may represent an opportunity as the season progresses. While we do not believe inventories will return to previous session levels some build backs of major brands could occur in 2010. We have received strong positive response to our new offerings not only from the trade but from the golf media as well receiving 15 medals, 10 of which were gold in golf size annual product preview more than any other manufacturer.
Our strength in competitive position going into the New Year reflects weakened secondary brands and our shared growth in most equipment categories in 2009 versus 2008. And this represents a stronger platform from which to grow as the season opens. This is true for both the U.S. and most international markets as well. And early sunbelt data appears positive despite weather issues encountered early on.

Hi Ladies,
So, I've been dealing with Prodromal labor. Basically, my labor keeps starting, then stopping, starting, then stalling again. I've been experiencing this for a couple weeks. I'll have hours (as long as 6, so far) of painful contractions 3-4 minutes apart and then they stop. My Dr told me I will not be able to go by the typical 5-1-1 rule like most laboring women. IE, I will not be able to go by the frequency/regularity of my contractions to tell me when to head into L&D. Instead, I'll have to go by the pain level. She said to wait until I can't talk through them.
Well, with my last baby, I remember the nurses looking at my monitor strip and commenting on how shocked they were that I was still able to talk through my contractions (I was on the phone with my mom) !
So, needless to say... I am really worried that by the time I can't talk through them, it'll be really late.. Maybe too late for the epi I am planning on getting, etc., etc.
Anyone else have similar fears?? Am I over reacting?
And to those also dealing with Prodromal Labor, when are you planning on actually going to L&D??

US - New York City's police pension hired Permal Group to invest in hedge funds, choosing the Legg Mason unit over firms including Blackstone Group.
The Board of Trustees of the New York City Police Pension Fund voted yesterday to commit capital to Permal, it said in an e-mailed statement. The commitment, the first by a New York City pension fund to hedge funds, is subject to the negotiation of an acceptable contract.
Pensions, stung by the financial crisis and hampered by low interest rates, are trying to boost returns by diversifying into riskier and more liquid strategies. State and city plans across the country are weighing proposals to increase the portion of assets allocated to alternative investments such as hedge funds and real estate.
"This investment will help to diversify the fund's assets in a prudent manner, which will in turn benefit the members, retirees and beneficiaries," said Joseph Alejandro, Police Pension Board representative of PBA President Patrick Lynch.
J. Tomilson Hill, head of Blackstone's hedge fund-of-funds unit, pitched the police pension for the mandate, according to a person with knowledge of the bidding who asked not be named because the meeting was private. Peter Rose, a spokesman for New York-based Blackstone, declined to comment.
Blackstone has been trying mend fences with New York's unions following comments last year from its chief strategist, Byron Wien, that public pension benefits are "too generous." Last month, Alejandro proposed that trustees be allowed to fire fund managers who criticize workers' benefits or disparage a public pension.
Permal, which is based in London, posted returns of 8.4% in its fund of hedge funds for 2010, according to a person familiar with the results who asked not to be named because the firm is private. Blackstone's fund of hedge funds had returns of 8.5% for 2010 and 3.6% in the fourth quarter, the firm said when it reported earnings last month.
Fund-of-funds managers averaged gains of about 2.3% last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Such funds managed about $646bn globally as of the end of 2010, according to Hedge Fund Research, a Chicago-based research firm.

I have chronic sinus infections. Tonight I was laying on my side in bed, and turned my head toward my shoulder. I suddenly I felt my sinus start to drain, and it tasted chemical, and smelled like chlorine or ammonia. This was accompanied with a strong burst of burning pain deep in my head, and the back & top of my skull. The pain didn't last long, but I still have a burning sensation in my head. I haven't had any kidney trouble, and I'm pretty sure my liver's ok.
I don't know if I should be scared or not. I'd really like to know what could cause this to happen.

Alafia A Group
Update on Alafia A GroupFor the second time, Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is very pleased to present to you members of the "Alafia A" group. Their previous Kiva loan has been very helpful in boosting their respective businesses.
Having done repaying their last Kiva loan successfully, they are again requesting a new loan of 1,000,000 Sierra Leonean Leones (SLL) for each member in the group in order to further expand their respective businesses.
Featured leader, Fatmata, will again use her share of the loan to buy rice, palm-oil, tomatoes, pepper, onions, gari (food made out of cassava roots), etc. to add to her business.
Previous Loan DetailsSalone Microfinance Trust (SMT), a partner of Kiva in Makeni, northern Sierra Leone is very pleased to present to you members of the "Alafia A" group. These are small scale entrepreneurs who have come to SMT and Kiva lenders to seek a loan of 700,000 SLL for each member in order to invest in thei... More from Alafia A Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
