Caroline Warner Hightower, executive director of AIGA from 1977
until 1995, transformed AIGA from a New York club to a vibrant
nationally networked design force. Under her vigorous leadership,
an organization in danger of financial collapse was resuscitated
and many new initiatives and structures—many of which continue to
give shape to AIGA today—were put in place. The AIGA journal, the
annual and conferences were among the forums introduced by
Hightower, who valued the importance of content and meaning. In
leading the effort to acquire the 11,500 square-foot national
headquarters building at 164 Fifth Avenue, she provided the
organization with a permanent home.
Hightower was raised in the community of the University of
Chicago, where her father, Lloyd Warner, was a prominent
anthropologist. She began her career as the advertising manager and
graphic designer for the University of California Press. In 1968,
after a further two jobs in editing, she became Grant Officer at
the Carnegie Corporation accruing valuable experience in
fundraising that she then applied as a consultant to a large number
of cultural and philanthropic initiatives. She was the content
consultant for Art Is, a documentary produced by Sears
Roebuck Foundation that was nominated for an Academy Award in l972.
In 1975 she authored Private Philanthropy and Public Need: The
Arts for The Filer Commission, which was presented to U.S.
Hightower was hired as the executive director of AIGA in 1977.
For the better part of two decades she worked tirelessly to create
a vital and dynamic organization that could effectively represent
the needs of the design community. During her tenure the membership
increased from 1,200 to 11,300 and chapters were established in 38
cities. Programming, that was virtually non-existent upon her
arrival, flourished. In addition to initiating the annual, the
quarterly journal, the national biennial design conference and the
national business conference, the AIGA library, the AIGA Education
Committee, Hightower was also the architect of some significant
stand-alone programs and publications. These include a national
symposium titled "Why is Graphic Design 93% White?" and the
publications United States Department of Transportation Symbol
Signs, Graphic Design for Nonprofit Organizations,
and AIGA Standard Contracts for Graphic Designers.
Since leaving AIGA, Hightower has continued to work in New York
as a program development and fundraising consultant. Among the
institutions she has worked with are the American Numismatic
Society; American Society of Media Photographers; New York
University Arts Administration Program; United Way; and The Clio
"In her seventeen years, Caroline did a lot of very good work
for the AIGA, as an organization of sometimes all-too-real people
and as the ongoing embodiment of a set of closely held but
ultimately abstract professional ideals. Both for the organization
and its people, she had to play several roles. Many of them fit her
well; others were more difficult but were performed equally well
nonetheless. Yes, she was an advocate of graphic design and, yes,
she had a great deal of affection and respect for graphic
designers. But there was another piece of it, and that was simply
that there was work to be done and Caroline did it extremely well
because, for her, there was no other way. I count myself lucky to
have been given, on behalf of the AIGA, this very public, very
permanent forum in which to say to Caroline, thank you."
—David Brown, former AIGA president

9 Claims. (Cl. 257-3) system for use in air conditioning systems.
One object of this invention is to provide a portable air conditioning unit which comprises a plurality of individual sections which may be readily assembled as a unit at the point of use.
An object of this invention is to provide a new and improved apparatus for conditioning the alt for private homes and the like.
Another object of is invention is to provide an improved arrangement for distributing the conditioned air to a plurality of separate rooms.
Still another object of my invention is to prolike, it is to beunderstood that several of the features of my invention are of general application. In the particular embodiment shown, the
' as to be assembled'at the point of use.
air conditioning unit generally designated by the reference character I comprises a plurality of sections i2, i4, I6 and i8 whichare so designed Asbest shown in Fig. 3, thesection i2v comprises a refrigerant evaporator-20, a water-cooled motor-compressor-condenser unit 22 and a casing member 24 which forms one portion of the exterior casing of the completed unit. The casing member 24 supports the entire volatile refrigerant system including the evaporator 20, the water-cooled vide an air conditioning system having improved l motor-compressor-condenser n t th ed a n al g wr restrictor 2|, and all the connecting refrigerant Still another object of this invention is to prolmes- These units; Will be P d Out herevide a new combination of elements which makes n fter, are of light weight com c design it possible t use t refrigerating system a whereby that portion of the system which is supgreater portion of t year ported by the casing section 24 is of relatively j-tioning apparatus. Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein a preferred form of the present invention is clearly shown.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a top view of the air conditioning apparatus with parts broken away so as to show ..-the arrangement of the elements within the cabinet;
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the same with parts broken away;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the sectional unit which supports the volatile refrigerating system; l Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing another sectional unit which supports the water coil and the air filter; t
Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the blower unit;
Fig. 6 is trols;'
Fig. 7 is a view-partly in elevation and partly a diagrammatic view showing the conlight weight and small in size so that it may be carried upand down stairways and, it necessary, passed through relatively small windows or other openings. 7
. As shown in Figni section i4 comprises an outer shell 26 which supports a water coil 28. As
' shown in Figs. 1 and 2 a filter element 32 is also in section showing the arrangement of thefair carried by the section 14 and is disposed between the louvered air inlet opening and the water cofl Z8.
The sections I2 and 14 rest on thebase sections it and i8 which are designed so as to deaden the noises produced by the compressor and the blower mechanism. The blower 34 and the blower motor 36 are removably supported on the section l6 and may be transported separately from the section J6. The sections l6 and I8 are lined with sounddeadening material 38 so as to absorb noises produced by the mechanical parts of the system and noises produced by the air flowing through the unit. By virtue of the above described arrangement, each of the sections i2, l4, l6 and I8 may be separately carried to the point of use and may 1 be assembled at the point of use with very little difliculty. A pair of cover members 40 serve to enclose. the upper side of the sections l2 and I4 and also assist in holding the sections i2 and I4 in proper relationship. Any convenient means within the attic space or the like of a private for conditioning air ior private homes and the 55 home. The air to be conditioned is admitted to the attic space from the outside through one of ing 30 and then thermal exchange relationship with the waterthe attic windows or any conventional air inlet leading to the attic. The air is first caused to enter the air conditioning unit through the openpasses through the filter 32 into coil 28 and the evaporator 20. The air thus cooled is then picked up by the blower 34 and is discharged into the sound-deadening section Hi from whence it flows into section l8 through the openings 42 and 44 located at opposite ends of the baiiie 45 of the section l6. Rather than providing special air ducts for distributing the conditioned air to the various rooms, the hallways, stairways, door openings, windows and, in some cases, booster fans are relied onto distribute the conditioned air. The conditioned air leaving the chamber l8 discharges downwardly through an opening 46 which is in registry with the passage 48 leading to an air distributing grille arrangement 50 preferably secured to the first or second floor hall ceiling depending upon the type of home being conditioned. As shown in Fig. 7 the air leaving the discharge grille 50 is caused to flow substantially horizontally along the ceiling until striking the side walls of the hall from whence the air sweeps downwardly in front of any doorways or other openings leading to rooms adjoinin the hallway. Inasmuch as this apparatus is designed for use in many different types of homes, no special arrangement/of hallways, rooms, etc., has been shown as this will be different in practically every home.
In order to obtain proper distribution of the air into the various rooms of the home the necessary doors and windows are left open so as to provide the necessary flow of air. It should be noted that this air conditioning system is designed primarily to condition fresh air only and therefore no means has been provided for returning the air from the rooms to the inlet of the conditioning unit. Under certain circumstances, however, it may be desirable to provide means for recirculating a portion of the air from the rooms. Any conventional means may be used for recirculating a portion of the air if desired.
In order to increase the usefulness of the volatile refrigerating system and the water coil, 9. novel control arrangement has been provided as shown in Fig. 6 whereby the refrigerating apparatus and the water coil may beused for either heating or cooling the incoming air as explained hereinafter.
In many localities there are certain times of the year when the temperature falls below that desired for comfort without becoming cold enough to require the operation of the usual winter heating system. At such times it is intended that the apparatus disclosed herein will serve to temper the air sumciently to produce-comfort.
The water temperature in most localities is sufliciently nearthe air temperature desired so that this water may be used for cooling hot outside air during the hot weather and it may likewise be used for increasing the temperature of cold outside air during the colder weather. So long as the water temperature is below the outside air temperature this water can be used in cooling the air. Likewise, so long as the water temperature is above the outside air temperature, this water may be used for imparting heat to the air.
The controls provided make it possible to utilize the water coil not only during the cooling cycle but also during the heating cycle.
from any suitable source such as the city water mains enters the unit through the line 52 which s to the branch lines 54 and 56, which M: 60 respectively. The branch lines 54 and 56 communicate with the line 62 leading to the three-way solenoid valve 64 which directs the incoming water either through the water coil 28 or the b'y-pass 66 around the water coil 28. The
The water leaving the coils I0 discharges into' the drain line 14 which may also serve to drain away the condensate collecting in the drip pans l6 and 18 (see Fig. 1). The drip pans are provided with drain pipes 80 and 82 whichmay be connected either to the drain 14 or to a separate drain.
The volatile refrigerant system which includes the heat exchanger 20, the fixed restrictor 2| and the motor-compressor-condenser unit 22 is designed so as to be capable of operation as a reverse cycle refrigerant system. By using a volatile refrigerant system in which the flow of refrigerant between the condenser and the evaporator are controlled by a fixed restrictor and in which the compressor is capable of operating in either direction so as to cause that heat exchange element which normally serves as an evaporator to serve as a condenser, it is possible to use a simple volatile refrigerant system for either cooling the air or heating the air. The fixed restrictor 2| may be of the type disclosed in the Kucher Patent 2,063,745, or of any other conventional fixed restrictor design. It is important, however, to use a fixed restrictor as distinguished from an expansion valve in which the flow of refrigerant through the valve is controlled by the therefrigerant circuit. The coils of the heat exchanger 2i]v are arranged so as to permit the refrigerantgcondensedtherein to drain into the line leading to the flxedrestrictor 2|. Inasmuch as this s'ys'tem is designed primarily for cooling the air, I have provided a. compressor which is so designed as to operate more efiiciently during the cooling cycle than during the heating cycle.
In the ordinary four-vane compressor, a considerable sacrifice in efllciency results when the inlet port and the outlet port are of equal circumferential extent. As shown in Fig. 8, the compressor comprises a conventional four-vane rotor 84 which operates within the pumping cylinder 86. The rotor 84 is operated by the electric motor 81 having a stator 89 and a rotor 90 located within the hermetically sealed casing 12. During the cooling cycle, when the heat exchange coil 20 serves as an evaporator, the port 92 serves as the inlet port and the port 94 serves as the outlet port. During the heating cycle the port 94 serves as the inlet port and the-port 92 serves as Water the outlet port. An auxiliary port 96 having a vided with the pressure actuated valves reed-type valve 98 is provided as an excess pressure relief means during the starting of the compressor for the cooling cycle. 7
The direction of rotation of the motor 90 and consequently the direction of rotation of the fourvane rotary pump element 84 is controlled by a thermostat I00. Any conventional motor which is capable of operating in either direction may be used. Inasmuch as motors of this type are well known in the art, the specific details of the motor have not been described in detail. This instrument may be located so as to respond either to the outside temperature or the inside temperature. The bulb I is connected to the bellows I02 which actuates the motor reversing switch mechanism I04 and the switch I06. The switches I04 and I06 are shown in the position calling for cooling. f
Inasmuch as there may be times when neither heating nor cooling is required, a separate thermostat I08 is provided which turns on and off the entire system. This element I08 may be located.
eitherinside or outside, preferably inside, however.
In order to control the three-way valve 64 which controls the flow of water through the water coil 28, I have provided a switch IIO which is operated by a pair of opposed bellows H2 and H4. The bellows H2 communicates with the thermostatic bulb H6 filled with a volatile fluid and placed so as to respond to the temperature condition of the incoming air. The bellows H4 is controlled by a similar thermostat bulb H8 which is responsive. to the temperature of the incoming water.
With the switch I06 in the position shown, the solenoid valve 64 will be energized when a circuit is closed between the contact I20 and the contact I22. The contact I20 engages the contact I22 whenever the temperature of the incoming water is high and the temperature of the incoming air is low. By virtue of this arrangement,
when cooling is desired the water is caused to by-pass the coil 28 at such times when the water temperature is high and the incoming air temperature is low, under which conditions the water would be of no assistance in cooling the air.
Whenever the air conditions cause the switch I to move to the opposite position from that shown in Fig. 6, the solenoid valve 64 is energized only when tne contact I20 is in engagement with the contact I24. By virtue of the arrangement described hereinabove, the circuit between I20 and I24 is closed only at such times when the temperature of the outside air is high and the temperature of the incoming water is low. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid contacting a stream of relatively warm air with water at" a lower temperature when heating is required;
The amount of water flowing through the water line 62 and consequently the coil 28 or by-pass 6t and the water condensing coil I0 is under control of the pressure responsive valves 58 and 60. These valves respond:to the refrigerant pressure within the refrigerant system. The valve responds to the pressure in a line leading from the fixed restrictor II to the heat exchange coil 20, whereas the valve58 responds to the pressure in the line leading from the condensing cavity II and the restrictor 2|. These valves are designed to open wider as the pressure within the refrigerant system increases. By virtue of the be closed. The valve 58, however, will respond to the pressure in the line leading from the condensing chamber II to the fixed restrictor 2| which corresponds to the condenser pressure. Consequently, as the condensing pressure increases, the valve 58 will admit more water through the water lines. As the cycle reverses and the volatile refrigerant system is used for heating the air, the pressure in line 59 becomes low and the valve 58 closes, whereas the pressure in line (H will correspond to the condenser pressure with the result that the valve 60 will be open an amount corresponding to the condenser pressure.
In order to simplify the disclosure, only conventional dry bulb control instruments have been shown. It is within the purview of this invention, however, to use other types of controls such as wet bulb, humidity or eifective temperature controls.
While the form of embodiment of the invention as herein disclosed, constitutes a preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted, all coming within the scope of the claims which follow.

Zuiderdam Cruise Review by mandalay_purser: The Zuiderdam is a lovely ship and worthy of the HAL brand
Overall Member Rating
The Zuiderdam is a lovely ship and worthy of the HAL brand
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The Zuiderdam is a beautiful Holland America ship -- very well maintained with very nice officers and a great staff!
We booked an SA suite category (7080) and really enjoyed the use of the Neptune Lounge and the breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill. The room was very clean, nice and roomy. My only complaint with the room was that the sofa was not very comfortable to sit in and the chairs needed replacing -- the leather on them was quite worn (but by no means horrible). The cabin stewards were GREAT and so friendly and always smiling.
The food was overall VERY good. We had 2 great waiters in the MDR who really went above and beyond. I have been on 3 other HAL cruises and the food was by far the best on this sailing. The MDR was very nice, but there was very little music. The place in the center of the staircase (where a grand piano should be) seemed to be a place to put unused chairs.
I was pleased that the Pinnacle Grill was open for lunch -- there was a 10.00 More change to eat lunch there, but well worth it to avoid the crowds in the Lido restaurant. We ate in the Lido as little as possible. The food is good, but it just gets too crowded and complicated to eat there.
There was a lot of great art in the public areas of the Zuiderdam. All very tastefully done and displayed.
The Zuiderdam offers a "Behind the Scenes" tour, I was lucky enough to take. They only did it once and it was limited to 16 guests. It was really interesting to see the areas that passengers never normally see and gave me an even greater appreciation for the work that the crew and staff do. Of course the crowning point was seeing the ships bridge and having a photo op with the ships Master.
In all, it was a great cruise, typical of HAL!
We stayed 2 pre cruise nights in Ft. Lauderdale at the Hyatt Pier 66 in a tower room and really enyoyed watching the ships come and go! Less

I was talking with the team working on our yard – they're putting in new sidewalks and a patio, amongst other things – and we got on the subject of gutters. When we bought this house, it came with no gutters, and that has, over time, caused some serious damage to the base of the house. Wood and plaster do not take it well when water pours down on them at the rate that, oh, say melting snow in the spring sends it down. So I had them get us an estimate for gutters on the entire house. Some of the work they're estimating is running the gutters right to the storm drain, which is not normally cheap, but they had both the front and back yards all ripped up, so it is a good time to do it, both cheaper and less messy, since the mess is already there.
So I told them to do it, because I don't want the sod they're going to lay to be ripped up in a year when we decide to put the gutters on, and certainly don't want them to rip up the patio and sidewalks they're putting in now just to lay pipe later – that would be nearly impossible.
And that, in a nutshell, is the same reason why FPGAs are used in a lot of high-tech firms. If the device is my yard/sidewalks, and I have to choose between a custom ASIC versus an FPGA, the custom ASIC would require me to rip up the yard later, while the FPGA is planning ahead for change.
Let me explain. With an FPGA, the circuits are programmed. Not like software, but code sets up the circuits, and then they are pretty equivalent to having them be hard-wired. With an ASIC, they really are hard-wired. So six months later, a change to the system – be it added functionality or fixes to existing logic – will be far easier with an FPGA than an ASIC. With an FPGA, the design file is opened, the changes made and tested, then the config is compiled and delivered to manufacturing. At that point, the devices produced with the new config file will have the new functionality. With ASICs, you change the design, send it to a manufacturing shop, wait for the shop to produce a small run (working it into their schedule that is), test the result, and then do a full production run. Then the new ASIC has to be put on the assembly line to replace the old ASIC. The difference is astronomical in terms of time required and even more so in terms of cost.
Of course there are some trade-offs. Every architectural choice results in trade-offs, and anyone who tells you differently is indeed trying to sell you something, and they don't want to admit the trade-offs used to produce what they're selling.
One of the big concerns out there about FPGAs is that they're less secure. In the most vague, general sense, this is true. But in practical use scenarios, it most certainly isn't. Here are the concerns, and why they're over-rated (note that these notes are adapted from responses to my questions put to Clint Harames of F5<'s most excellent FPGA team, I cannot vouch for other production except to say the other teams I was involved with outside of F5 were similar):
- It's field programmable! What if it gets modified? In F5's case, none of the programmability is accessible from the outside. There is no Ethernet or coding hack that can reprogram it, because that functionality is not accessible. Other vendors work to a differing standard, so definitely worth checking, though I would remind you that it is almost never going to be as easy to hack an FPGA as it is to hack software or COTS hardware.
- Okay, but can't it be erased and destroy the device? In theory yes (though erasing it is only effective until the next boot – non-destructive, so-to-speak), but if "modify" functionality is not accessible, then it can't be erased easily. The caveat is that there is of course a reset pin on the chip, but if the ne'er-do-well has physical access to your device, time to disassemble the device, and a handy pinout for the FPGA chip you're using, I'm going to guess you have bigger problems than whether they can reset your FPGA.
- If it's programmable, can't the program be read out and modified? Again, that functionality can be enabled on the chip, and you can check with your device manufacturer to see if they leave it enabled for production devices. Remember, it is a twofold story here, in F5's case, we don't generally want to reprogram production devices and don't want to make reverse engineering our product any easier than it has to be, while we want to protect you from someone modifying a production device. So when the design is done and meets all test criteria, we at F5 turn access to this functionality off completely before shipping product is produced. Definitely worth checking with your vendor to find out what they are doing.
Again, your vendor may do things differently, if, for some reason they need the ability to reprogram the FPGA in your device.
For you, the IT staffer, the benefits are pretty straight-forward. The device you purchase will be closer to "up to date" because of the time-to-market benefits of FPGAs, it will be cheaper because of the reduced up-front costs (note that like everything involving costs, economies of scale can change the "cheaper" part to be untrue, depending upon the costs involved), and the resulting device will be far, far faster than the equivalent processing done on a general purpose CPU. In the end, it is hardware doing the processing, and FPGAs have concurrency that general purpose CPUs can only match with a huge number of cores, even then since the OS handles the scheduling on a general purpose CPU, many cores does not normally make up the performance difference.
There are some who think the advent of virtualization and virtualized appliances should curb the use of FPGAs, as the virtual version has to include all the functionality. While this is, on the surface, a reasonable argument, it has a flaw. FPGAs are MUCH faster than software will ever be, let alone a VM running on a host with who-knows-how-many other VMs sharing its resources. So in cases like F5, where there is a hardware and a software version, the key is to be able to run in both. TMOS, F5's OS for traffic management, uses hardware if available, software if not. This offers the best of both worlds – acceptable traffic management in a VM, and high-performance traffic management in hardware.
Next time I'll delve into specific functionality that on our hardware platforms is implemented in FPGA, and how that helps you do your job in IT, today was more of a "what are the risks, what are the benefits" in a generic sense.

Serbia: Court makes landmark ruling against homophobic discrimination

This is a small crack of light but these people have an awfully long way to go. Serbians are naturally deeply supersticious, giving the church a very tight hold there.
Another reason to support the EU – Serbia would not have these anti-discrimination laws if not preparing for accession and implementing the non-discrimination directives.
One can be very sweeping about this and say that countries that have lived under authoritarian dictatorships (and that does mean Eastern Europe) are more prone to having problems with individual liberties and Human Rights issues.
Where organised religion developed as one of the few genuine expressions of individuality and freedom it is going to take a while for more tolerant and modern ideas of individuality to take root.
It will happen , but people will have to hang on in there, as they say.
Good news. As their desire to join the EU grows we should see more of this, hopefully.
Also as more Serbs travel around the EU they will see things in a new light.
Yes – another reason to oppose the UKIP.
Herers a possible avenue for helping going forward in Serbia
Back in WWII the croation Utashe – nut case nationalists – catholics mass murdered / deported several hundred thousand serbs – because they were also from the eastern orthodox church. Jews btw got the same horrific treatment that in several books I've read even sickened the nazi officers. (the SS did the dirty work)
As usual its the church of rome which created another not always realize genocide.
Rome is the Mecca of the western world.
Good news and let's hope that it will be the first of many positive steps in Serbia?
How many years has it been since Turkey tried to join the EU? It's still not made much progress. It has a secular government yet Islam still appears to be sticking it's oar in and holding back progress.
Those baltic states, Poland aren't much better and as for Greece, well…….

You can engage desktop-computer users when they're at their desks. Sometimes you can engage notebook users at Starbucks. But only when users go mobile can you engage all of the people in real time all of the time. That's why mobile devices are the fastest-growing and most fascinating field in real-time market engagement.
Ted, Josh, and Julie understand this idea deeply and in their new book they share how the battleground for hearts and minds is no longer based on how much a company spends on advertising or salespeople.
I enjoyed "The Mobile Mind Shift" very much. The stories of how people are using mobile to reach customers and buyers at many different organizations elevates the book from academic theory to practical advice.
What to do? How to re-engineer one's business to win in the mobile moment? Schadler, Bernoff, and Ask wrote this book in response to this question. They provide a wealth of information, insights, and counsel that are based on real-world experience (for better or worse) from which valuable business lessons have been learned. For example, these are the mini-case studies that Schadler, Bernoff, and Ask include:
o How Walgreens Turned Mobile Influence into Cross-Channel Revenue (Pages 70-71)
o Trane's Sales Partners, Armed with Tablets, Close Business Faster (76-78)
o Clorox Manufactures Moments by Fighting Stains (89)

o Hailo Connects Taxi Drivers to Passengers in a Mobile Moment (117-119)
o Flipboard Renders Beautiful Magazines Complete with Full-Color Ads (121-123)

o How IHG's Mobile Team Succeeds with Agile Development (191-192)
o The Role of the Mobile Center of Excellence (195-198)
Granted, these are all large organizations with abundant resources. However, there are lessons to be learned from their initiatives that can be of substantial value to small-to-midsize companies.
The mobile mind shift is best viewed as an on-going process rather than as an ultimate destination or single event. As Ted Schadler, Josh Bernoff, and Julie Ask correctly observe, "Ten years from now, any business not built on mobile moments will seem as outdated as a cassette player," if indeed that company even exists at all. Hence the importance of mastering the skills needed to complete not one but a series of IDEA cycles. Everyone involved in that process must therefore develop a mobile mindset, one that is ever alert for opportunities to design the mobile engagement within an appropriate context (i.e. platforms, processes, and people) and then evaluate results and make necessary modifications so that subsequent mobile moments have much greater impact. "The mobile mind shift will rock your world. It's inevitable. The only question is whether you or someone else will do it first."
(note: I know one of the authors of this book, and was sent a complimentary pre-release copy by the publisher)
I kept reading. A few points I liked - the three team approach. One team develops, launches then hands it to another team that finds the snags. They do upgrades and hand it to the third team which continues to improve. Only here we don't have three teams but it's a great idea! I see how the concept works.
Keep reading and the authors go into useful for me info...how to come up with ways to solve problems and reach people. The agriculture community is often overlooked, or even penalized, for the use of technology (as in every industry except agriculture should use it!). As a small producer, I know we need to reach out from a mobile standpoint - where to start in the overwhelming sea of information seems like trying to catch minnows with tuna nets. Anything caught is accidental!
It turns out the start is this book. Start thinking. Start asking. Start looking for places that need bridges. Although many of the things used is for those large corporations, there are other options out there for smaller places to get a piece of the yet untapped action too. Start with this book.
No matter what size operation you have.
If you are considering mobile application development for your company, read this first. It provides a systematic approach that will help you make wise decisions and not waste your money. Having seen far too many companies develop apps because they are "cool" instead of designing them with business goals in mind, I feel it's critical that businesses arm themselves with the information laid out in this book before making any investment in application development.
A great book, and highly recommended!

- References
- von Willebrand disease;
- diagnosis;
- desmopressin;
- laboratory testing
von Willebrand disease (VWD), which is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, arises from deficiencies and/or defects in the plasma protein von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWD is classified into six types, with type 1 identifying a (partial) quantitative deficiency of VWF, type 3 defining a (virtual) total deficiency of VWF, and type 2 identifying four types (2A, 2B, 2M, and 2N) that are characterized by qualitative defects. The classification of VWD is based on phenotypic testing that includes factor VIII, VWF level, and VWF activity determined by ristocetin cofactor and/or collagen binding. Phenotypic testing may be supplemented by multimer analysis, ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination, and VWF:factor VIII binding. Although not required to diagnose VWD or for its classification, genetic analysis may be useful in discrete situations. The current review briefly covers this diagnostic process, with a focus on the newer approaches that include extended test panels and data from desmopressin challenges as a diagnostic tool.

The Proai update cycle currently fails when it encounters a record with a setSpec like "1:a", but only the "1:a" set exists in the database (the inferred superset, "1" does not). This can occur if the set information for "1" is not provided by the OAIDriver at set update time.
When doing an update of set information in the database, Proai should go through all setSpecs and make sure that all possible inferred supersets exist. in the database. If they don't, it should add the appropriate entry to the rcSets table. The set name in this case can just be the setSpec string. When this occurs, a warning should also be logged noting the lack of the set info object for the inferred superset. (seeUpdater.java#updateSets(Connection))
This work can be done on the Proai trunk. When finished, the updated lib should be committed to the services/oaiprovider/trunk/lib.

Not only is free market capitalism good for the economy, says industry expert and Cato Institute President John Allison, it is our only hope for recovery. Drawing upon his unique inside view of the events leading up to the financial crisis, he has seen the direct effect of government incentives on the real estate market. He has seen how government regulations only make matters worse. In The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure, he posits a solution.
With shrewd insight, insider details, and practical advice for today's leaders, Allison's analysis is nothing less than a call to arms for a nation on the brink. He examines how government incentives helped blow up the real estate bubble to unsustainable proportions, how financial tools such as derivatives have been wrongly blamed for the crash, and how Congress fails to understand it should not try to control the market – and then completely mismanage it when it does. And, he clarifies why it's so important ultimately to put "free" back in free market.
John A. Allison is President and CEO of the Cato Institute. Previously, he was the longest-serving CEO of a top-25 financial institution, having served for twenty years as Chairman of BB&T Corporation, the 10th largest financial services holding company headquartered in the United States. He is one of the lead proponents for banking and policy reform in America today. Mr. Allison has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Banker and was named one of the decade's top 100 most successful CEOs by Harvard Business Review. He is a former Distinguished Professor of Practice at Wake Forest University Schools of Business and serves on the Board of Visitors at the business schools at Wake Forest, Duke University, and UNC-Chapel Hill

Dallas Is On the "Road to Full Recovery"
Brookings Institution
At least, that's what the Brookings Institution says in its 52-page report Global Metro Monitor: The Path to Economic Recovery, which took a long, hard look at "data on economic output and employment in 150 of the world's largest metropolitan economies, located in 53 countries, from 1993 to 2010." The report's chock full o' good news for Texas: Austin leads the U.S. when it comes to "Recovery Performance Ranking," while it insists San Antonio didn't much feel the impact of the recession; and something something Houston. The Dallas details are here. Take that, New Delhi!

Sams customer service is superb. She always has a smile on her face and is very attentive. She goes above abs beyond to help me.Renee from Montgomery, TX
Great management! Very professional and I will miss that facility!Shelly from Tomball, TX
Having been forced to move on such short notice, I had to reserve a unit online at nearly 7 o' clock at night for the very next day. I came into the office very early in the morning and was greeted by Terrie (who is absolutely awesome!) we got everything fixed up with no issue and she showed me my unit and told me everything I needed to know, even walked me through how to put my gate code in. When I went to leave so I could put my lock on my unit, Bob even offered to drive me back in there on the golf cart so it would be just a bit more convenient! The staff here are incredible and so friendly, and the complex is clean and safe with security cameras all over the place! I would absolutely recommend Uncle Bob's to anybody and everybody and would definitely use them again if I ever needed another storage unit! 10/10 for me!Jordan from Houston, TX
