Young women going through their first pregnancies in Lamoille and Franklin Counties now have another tool at their disposal. The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program, which aims at helping low-income mothers reach their goals and improve the lives of their families, is now in its sixth month of existence and is already helping a number of young women locally.
"The Franklin/Lamoille Nurse Family Partnership is meeting national standards for referrals and enrollments," commented Rhonda Desrochers of the Franklin County Home Health Agency, "We are well on our way to a full caseload as we have 15 clients enrolled since our launch in July and we are proud to announce the delivery of three healthy babies thus far. We have been very successful thanks to an evidence-based program and the support of our community partners."
The NFP program is centered on the goals of improving the outcomes of pregnancies, improving the health and development of children associated with the program, and to help young mothers continue to develop their own lives and keep them on track.
The program works to accomplish these goals in a number of ways. The main way is that a registered nurse begins visiting the first-time mother as early in the pregnancy as possible and continues to do so through the birth until the child is two years old. The nurse visits with the family every one to two weeks and provides support and education. Major emphasis is placed on helping the young mother or family in ways that they want to be helped, but basic services provided often include checking blood pressure and weight, explaining or checking normal pregnancy discomforts and complications, and educating the mother on different areas she is curious about.
Along with the home visits by the nurse the NFP program also seeks to help young mothers or families obtain prenatal care, reduce their use of alcohol and tobacco, and learn more about healthy nutrition. After the birth of the child the program seeks to help the parents provide more competent and knowledgeable care and a safe home while also seeking to help them find a primary care physician for the child. The program also seeks to help the young mothers continue their own lives in areas such as education, environment, employment, and planning future pregnancies.
Federal funding for the NFP program is provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration. At the current time there is one visiting nurse in the program with the plan to add another registered nurse sometime in the near future. Each nurse can carry a caseload of 25 clients, meaning that when the second nurse is added the NFP program can be aiding up to 50 young mothers and families in Lamoille and Franklin County.
Anyone wishing to learn more about the Franklin-Lamoille NFP program can do so by contacting Rhonda Desrochers at 1-802-393-6775 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Young mothers interested in joining the program can learn how to do so by calling the number 888-4651 in Lamoille County or 527-7531 in Franklin County. Individuals eligible for the program are women who are pregnant with their first child, are under 28 weeks of gestation, and are considered low-income.

Time is something that many of us have very little of. With every tick of the clock our time grows shorter. Problem is how many ticks do you get before even a tock doesn't produce a new second? Confused? Let me explain. Technology is like a clock - we have ticks and tocks. When the clock ticks, it means it's time to improve upon what you already have in the open market. When the clock tocks, it means that it is time for a change and a new direction. How many ticks does a manufacturer have before it's time to take the tock and reinvent the wheel? Since there is only one tick and one tock, I guess we could say one. Recently, there have been manufacturers who have tried to make you believe their latest and greatest were a tock, but in essence, it was only a tick. Somehow, adding a GPU to the same die of a processor that has been on the market for five years doesn't seem to be a tock.
Last year, Intel introduced new micro-architecture with the 2nd Generation Core processors codenamed "Sandy Bridge". This we could call the tock on the clock, since Sandy Bridge differed from its predecessor "Nehalem" in multiple ways. With the launch of the 2nd generation Core processors, Intel also made owning one of their processors more affordable. The processors were built on a 32nm process and included on-die DirectX 10 graphics processor as well. A little over a year has gone by since the launch of this new architecture - what has Intel done to improve upon it and what should we expect?
The 3rd Generation of Intel Core Processors is labeled a tick on Intel's roadmap. The Intel Core i7 3770K 22nm "Ivy Bridge" processor is one of the multiple 3rd generation processors available to choose from. The 3rd generation Core processors include multiple upgrades over their predecessors. The 3770K, or K series, still remains unlocked for those who choose to performance tune their systems to take full advantage of what hidden prowess the Core Series has to offer. Some of the enhancements over the previous generation are an improved architecture, up to 2x performance in processor graphics performance, which is now DirectX 11 (650/1150MHz for most), native USB 3.0, enhanced security protection (based on actual processor) and improved performance tuning features (increased CPU multiplier adjustments) with XMP 1.3 support. Intel has also improved on power consumption, with some processors having a TDP as low as 45W (K-Series and most desktop 77W TDP).

Antique violin 'smashed on PayPal's orders'
Paypal's been accused of ordering the destruction of a valuable violin after a dispute over its authenticity.
In a letter to the blog Regretsy - which normally highlights weird arts and crafts such as Star Trek cookies and knitted 'taxidermy' - a reader complains that the company declared the $2,500 violin a fake - without ever seeing it.
"I sold an old French violin to a buyer in Canada, and the buyer disputed the label," says Erica in the letter.
"Rather than have the violin returned to me, PayPal made the buyer destroy the violin in order to get his money back. They somehow deemed the violin as 'counterfeit', even though there is no such thing in the violin world."
Paypal's terms of service covering dispute resolution do include a warning that this might happen. "PayPal may also require you to destroy the item and to provide evidence of its destruction," they read.
Indeed, it's actually illegal in the US to mail counterfeit goods back to a vendor.
The issue here, though, is what gives PayPal the authority to decide that the violin was a fake - after all, Erica claims to have had it examined and authenticated by an expert before the sale.
"In the violin market, labels often mean little and there is often disagreement over them," says Erica. "Some of the most expensive violins in the world have disputed labels, but they are works of art nonetheless."
PayPal's promised to investigate the issue.

Nothing says "I love you" more than getting mashed, cooked beans or legumes rubbed across cooked beans your pant leg. Cooked, unsalted beans are high in protein (e.g. black beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, pinto beans, etc.). A bonus to beans and legumes are the variety of shapes and sizes in which they grow, so choose ones that appeal to your pet bird. A cockatiel might fly away in terror if it sees a chickpea/garbanzo bean rolling across the bottom of its food bowl, but a lentil bean may pique its interest!
More meticulous pet birds can take pleasure in peeling the cooked bean and legume skins off and eating the fleshy interior, while others may just take a quick, sample bite of each. Best of all, it's easy to put a few aside while you're making your own meal and let your pet birds "help" with dinner… although you'll have to make sure the half-eaten bean or legume bits being flung across your counter don't end up in your own meal!

So we begin with rigorous investigations of work, the structures of work, and the implicit political tendencies of those who work. After carrying out this inquiry, we can begin to identify a program contained in existing struggles. But the goal is not only to anticipate future activity; it is to consolidate that program in a manner that strategically develops the interests of the class, generalizes its movement, and advances its autonomous power.

Beyond Sumptuary: Constitutionalism, Clothes, and Bodies in Anglo-American Law, 1215-1789
Ruthann Robson
CUNY School of Law
British Journal of American Legal Studies, Vol. 2, No. 2, Fall 2013
Current scholarship is peppered with casual references to "sumptuary laws" whenever regulations of clothing or bodies are at issue. Too often, these references are incorrect, or at best incomplete. This Article is a careful consideration of the various regulations of attire and bodily markings from the Magna Carta in 1215 to the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1789. This Article situates bodily regulation within Anglo-American constitutionalism, including nascent constitutional Tudor-era struggles between the monarch and Parliament, the status of colonial laws, the American Revolution, pre-constitutional slavery, and the formation of the Constitution, including a proposed "Sumptuary Clause."

Pointer Problem
Hi all,
I've seen below code for sending a string to output device:
void displayText(uint8_t *p)
while(*p !='\0')writeData(*(p++));
from "C Operator Precedence" table I found that "++" operator is higher than "*" but why writeData function sends current character and after that increment p ?
Thank in advance,
Re: Pointer Problem
Change "p++" for "++p"
Your code means "Write p data and after increment p". This change that I told you means "increment p and after write p data".
I hope I could help.
Re: Pointer Problem
Because that's what the post-increment operator means. p++ means take the value of p THEN increment it, and the timing of the increment is compiler dependent but will always be after the value of p is taken. So if p is 5, then p++ evalues to 5 and p then contains 6.
So WriteData(*(p++)) means: take the value of p, dereference it, call WriteData with what it found. At some point p will be incremented.
In Visual Studio this is equivalent to WriteData(*p); p++; and all side effects are treated the same way, so if you had something silly like printf("%d %d %d", i++, i++, i++); and i is 5 to start with, then this would display "5 5 5" then increment i 3 times. The reason this is silly in a real application is that the behaviour depends on the exact timing of the postincrement; it could be valid for another compiler to display 5 6 7, or 7 6 5, depending on the order of evaluation and the exact timing of the ++. But this is a useful way to find out how your compiler handles side effect operators.

Sandy victims blast delays in flood insurance aid
LAVALLETTE, N.J. -- Even as Congress passed the first part of an aid package for victims of Superstorm Sandy, many victims seethed, wondering why it took so long.
The $9.7 billion measure approved Friday allows the National Flood Insurance Program to continue to pay claims. It was due to run out of money next week. But some of those still lugging waterlogged debris from homes or shoveling sand from lawns and walkways after the late October storm weren't impressed.
"I think it's horrible it took this long," said Susan VanVeen, of Randolph, N.J., who was part of a volunteer group that drove to Lavallette to help clean up strangers' homes. "This area is completely devastated. It's still probably going to be weeks before people get this money. This should have happened a long time ago."
John Condit, of Seaside Heights, N.J., which lost the boardwalk upon which much of the "Jersey Shore" reality series was filmed, also said the delay in approving aid after the storm was disgraceful.
"It's just criminal," he said. "We do all this work for other countries, but when it comes to us, it takes like 60 days. You pay taxes, and your government is supposed to be there for you. That's part of the deal."
Mike Furrey, part of the volunteer group in Lavallette, said he was angry about the delay in approving aid.
"They turned their backs on New Jersey and New York, but when Katrina happened, or things in other parts of the country, they act right away. I'm not going to vote for anyone who is in Congress right now, no matter what party, no matter if it's the House or the Senate."

Discovering Tractor Supply
That is the one question I keep posing to myself day after day after looking at so many portfolios full of stocks like Cisco
They might be good companies: I shop at Lowe's. But if you are looking for growth or income or even just staying even with the market, they just are not going to do it for you anymore.
But investors keep stuffing them into their portfolios, and this has to be at least one reason why: No investment adviser ever got fired for recommending General Electric
So most investors really have to make two decisions: Which stock to buy, and which guru to follow.
There's no doubt lots of investors feel way more comfortable with those big, stodgy names. Ditto for the televised pundits.
But some of these companies are so big, they have long since run out of room to grow. Attention Wal-Mart investors: I'm talking about you.
What about Tractor Supply
Unless you are reading my newsletter or listening to my radio show, you've probably never heard of it. The pundits are certainly not touting the fortunes of a TSCO, chain store whose major claim to fame is selling farm implements and goat food to yuppies.
If that is the case, you have missed out on one of the great stocks of the decade. A stock that continues to hit new all-time highs and blow away the performance of Lowe's and Home Depot
Data from Best Stocks Now App
Performance: Over the last 10 years, TSCO has delivered total returns of almost 24% per year to investors while the market has delivered 5.4%. Over the last five years it has delivered 46% per year while the market has delivered only 8% during the same time frame. Over the last three years TSCO has delivered a whopping 51% per year to investors while the market has delivered 14%. Over the last 12 months, TSCO is up 37% while the market is only up 17%.

Std scoring, 10 Team. I'm relatively stacked at RB: Mendenhall, MJD, Blount + 3 solid but not great RBs (Starks, Matthews, Hightower). Weak at receiver. QBs Big Ben & Eli. Big run on receivers in my draft this year, so I kept grabbing the good RBs that fell to me figuring I could pull a trade eventually for a better WR.
Meanwhile, I was offered Vick+ choice of J Harrison/ M Bush + a choice of worthless RBs for MJD+Starks +Eli. I would do MJD for Vick straight up at this point given how strong my other RBs are. MJD+Starks feels steep given my gut that Starks ends up being pretty valuable this year. Yet, I've got plenty of RB options so trading up from Starks to help land Vick gets those points from my bench to starting lineup. Pull the trigger? Thx!

Dr Majella Kilkey
Reader in Social Policy (BSSc (Hons) (Queen's University Belfast), MA (York), DPhil (York))
Room: Elmfield, LG28 | Telephone: 0114 222 6459 (external), 26459 (internal)
Academic Profile
I joined the Department of Sociological Studies in 2011, having taught in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Hull since completing my DPhil 'Lone Mothers Between Paid Work and Care: The Policy Regime in 20 Countries' at the University of York.
I am a member of the Economic and Social Research Council Peer Review College, and an elected editorial board member of the Journal of Social Policy.
My motivation for research is to understand how the processes and outcomes of globalisation affect citizenship, which I understand as encompassing rights, practices and belonging. This interest began at the University of York (UK) where my PhD was a 20-country comparative study of contemporary shifts in national gender regimes analysed through the lens of policies for lone mothers. I published the research as a sole authored monograph (Kilkey, 2000), which been translated into Japanese. The vision underpinning my research post-PhD has two elements. The first is an ambition to transcend the dualism in globalisation and social policy scholarship between cross-national comparative and transnational approaches. My concept of 'situated transnationalism' and its accompanying analytical framework is an innovative response to that challenge (article co-authored with Laura Merla in press in Global Networks). The second element is to make analysis of the micro-level enactments of citizens in response to wider socio-economic processes and structures, more central to Social Policy. An interdisciplinary approach is fundamental to this agenda. My recently completed ESRC project Situating men within global care chains (conducted with Diane Perrons) exemplified this ambition by exploring how men (Polish migrants in UK and British non-migrants) respond to the differential challenges posed by the intersection of processes related to globalisation, migration and social reproduction.
Current projects are focused around migration, transnationalism and citizenship, with the present economic crisis and austerity in Europe being a particular focus. Together with Professor Helma Lutz and Dr Ewa Palenga-Möllenbeck (University of Frankfurt), I co-chaired a Research Conference on Family Life in an Age of Migration and Mobility: Theory, Policy and Practice, which took place in Norrköping, Sweden in September 2013. The current economic crisis provides the context for exploring the migratory experiences of the British through a White Rose Collaborative Research Network involving colleagues at the Universities of Leeds and York. With Loretta Balddasar (University of Western Australia) and Laura Merla (Université catholique de Louvain), I am co-organiser of Paper Session 'Families' resilience in times of economic crisis and mobility', joint session of RC06 (Family Research) and RC31 (Sociology of Migration), World Congress of Sociology, Japan, 2014. I am a member of the recently formed IMISCOE network Young Adult Mobility Options and Alternatives in Times of Economic Crisis, co-ordinated by Jăo Sardinha (Open University, Lisbon) and Sandra Silva (University of Lisbon). I am also a member of an international network – Transnational Lives, Mobility and Gender - led by Dr Marzia Grassi (University of Lisbon) and recently awarded European Science Foundation Funding.

I have developed a substantial and varied teaching portfolio in social policy and related fields, which includes undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, core and optional elements, and taught as well as supervisory modes. I enjoy teaching and I am committed to achieving excellence in teaching standards. I strive to adopt a student-centred approach to teaching; to be inclusive, and to respond where appropriate in both content and method to the needs of students. I aim to make my teaching an enjoyable and stimulating experience for those who participate, so as to promote self-directed learning. I am a reflective teacher, and respond to feedback when appropriate in order to maintain the effectiveness of my teaching. My teaching is informed by my own research on topics around: international migration; intra-EU mobility; families and social policies; comparative gender analysis at the interface of paid work, care and welfare; Europeanization; and globalisation.
I currently convene the following undergraduate modules:
- SCS3026 Migration and Families
- SCS1009 Social Problems and Social Policy (Lectures)

John Kenny drove home from his Iowa visit a few weeks ago lost in thought. He sat in the backseat of the car as his father and a friend chatted away not really paying much attention to the conversation.
"I was feeling like I just left the perfect place for me," the Class of 2013 linebacker said. "Everything was just great - the coaches, the players, everything. It felt like that's where I should be."
Kenny tested those feelings on a recent trip to Arizona, the first school to offer him a scholarship. That visit made him pause…but only briefly.
"Iowa was just the best place I could see myself," said Kenny, who verbally committed to the Hawkeyes Friday morning when assistants Eric Johnson and LeVar Woods visited his Carmel High School in the Indianapolis area.
"They seemed to be as excited as I was," Kenny said. "I'm looking forward to talking to Coach (Kirk) Ferentz."
Scout.com ranks the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Kenny as the 36th-best outside linebacker in his class and a three-start prospect on the service's five-star scale. He is believed to be the Hawkeyes' seventh verbal commitment for '13.
"They see me coming in on the outside, as a LEO (linebacker)," Kenny said. "They think I can play all three linebacker positions for them. They said I could grow into a middle linebacker eventually."
Iowa's first commitment '13, David Kenney, also hails from Indianapolis (Pike High). He and Kenny are friends and should keep Iowa play-by-play man, Gary Dolphin, on his toes if they end up starting on the same defense.
"DK and I have been talking a lot," Kenny said. "It's comforting knowing I'll be going to school with a friend from the same city. I'm looking forward to it."
Kenny became the fifth verbal on the defensive side of the ball out of the seven its received in '13.
"I really think I fit well into their defense," Kenny said. "I love playing over the tight end. That's what I do in high school, so I'm real comfortable with that.

AUSTIN, Texas - For a few hours tomorrow night, Derek Long will set aside his preferences for defensive prowess and shutouts.
With a pair of his former players - Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and Saints quarterback Drew Brees - squaring off in an NFC wild-card game at the Linc, Long wants to see a shootout.
"I hope both of these defensive coordinators get a lot more gray hair after this game," said Long, the former football coach at Austin Westlake High, where Foles and Brees played in high school. "The ideal game for me is if both Nick and Drew threw for seven touchdowns. I just want the quarterbacks to have great games."

Tax incentives spur surge in production
When she took over as the city's film commissioner, Katherine Oliver began ridiculing movies that show audiences "fake" New York — scenes supposedly shot on location in Gotham but actually filmed in cheaper, less chaotic substitutes on the West Coast or in Canada, and even Eastern Europe.
Now, after years of successful efforts by New York City to woo more film and television productions, it appears the tables have turned and that the Big Apple is the one increasingly doing the faking.
Riding a boom in local film production, New York City is awash in lights and cameras, so much so that Gotham has begun doubling for other places, whether it's Staten Island posing as Ohio or, in the case of "The Good Shepard" and "The Departed," Brooklyn and the Bronx standing in for Washington and Boston.
"It's a far cry from where we were back in 2002," Oliver says.
According to the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, New York City last year hosted approximately 275 films and hit a record 35,000 shooting days, marking a 10% increase from 2005 and a more than 50% increase since 2000.
Officials credit the city's shooting surge to "Made in N.Y.," a multipronged program launched in 2005 that offers tax credits and other incentives to productions that complete most of their work in New York.
The program gives tax breaks of up to 15% — 5% from the city and 10% from the state. It also offers productions marketing credits for advertising on city kiosks and bus shelters as well as free police details for shoots and discounts at local vendors.
The perks were working so well at hooking Hollywood on New York that some feared the program would become a victim of its own success. Last year, amid criticism that "Made in N.Y." was too costly, the city announced it already had gone through the $50 million that was allotted in tax credits for productions over five years. Other concerns focused on whether a handful of productions, including "The Sopranos" and "Law & Order," were receiving a disproportionate share of the credits.
But Oliver says the tax credits are no longer in danger of running out. She notes that the city credits were increased to $30 million per year and extended through 2011. The state's credits also have been increased.
"I think we're in very good shape at this stage," Oliver says, adding there is "no hard cap" set for the credits and that productions receive them on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Success at a price
City officials are quick to note that film productions inject $5 billion annually into the Big Apple's economy and employ 100,000 New Yorkers. But for residents in camera-friendly neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and Chinatown, the benefit of filming can come at a price.
Around the city, helicopters are hovering, superheroes are slinging from buildings, and actors playing panicked police are seizing rooftops. Recent filming on the Will Smith pic "I Am Legend" clogged the Brooklyn Bridge area and peppered residents near Washington Square Park with occasional early morning explosions.
While New Yorkers may love life in a celluloid city, they also aren't shy about kvetching when film crews take over parking spaces, block streets, snarl traffic, use loud machinery and flood living rooms with klieg lights during night shoots.
"They come early in the morning, they stay all day and take up all the parking spaces," says Irene Janner of the Brooklyn Heights Assn. "The big problem is we don't get enough notice."
Victims include unlucky residents who, for example, may miss last-minute signs warning of an upcoming shoot and wake up to find their cars were towed.
Some neighborhood community groups have mobilized to protest — and have won temporary respites.
"They let the furor die down," Janner says, "and then they come back."
On the set, the love lost can flow both ways. Production assistants have complained of New Yorkers heaping abuse on them in multiple tongues. There also are less predictable pitfalls to shooting in a dynamic urban environment, as rap star Busta Rhymes discovered when he recently was barred from shooting a movie after the NYPD reportedly deemed his presence a "public safety concern."
Do unto others …
Oliver says the city tries to educate productions about working in New York and reminds them that it will not be "like shooting on a back lot in California." Her office offers a checklist of tips for happy filming in the Big Apple, including advice to be considerate of funeral homes, to avoid parking trailers in front of restaurants, and to keep info on local impounds for towed cars handy.
Oliver says the key to handling New Yorkers is keeping them well informed. "People just want to know what's going on," she says.
Of course, many New Yorkers don't mind Hollywood's intrusions and the chance to gawk at stars.
Kerry McAleer, a publicist who lives near the South Street Seaport, has weathered traffic jams and brightly lit night shoots, but still enjoys treats such as walking outside on a recent afternoon to find a crew filming a "little, tiny penguin trying to get into a cab."
McAleer says she doesn't mind the minor inconveniences and wonders about all those New Yorkers who protest too much.
"They're just trying to act cool," she says.

Month: June 2007
iPhone vs Blackberry: Fight!
Read/WriteWeb weighs in, along with 97% of the blogosphere (aka 0.0000001% of humanity), on the iPhone. Specifically, the iPhone vs the Blackberry. Their conclusion: "Watch out Blackberry!" My conclusion? Get a paper bag and breathe deeply for a few minutes because hyperventilation can be dangerous guys.
This is somewhat related to product management; let's think about some elements of user segmentation and key features. First of all, it has been reported elsewhere that for the moment you can't get an iPhone on a corporate AT&T account. So form a purchasing perspective, the game is over. But let's pass on that because AT&T could chage that policy easily.The keyboard would seem to be the most obvious advantage. But, a R/WW commenter says that it will be easier for Apple to add a keyboard than for RIM to make OSX. Really? Is having a OSX-like systems really a key criteria for corporate users? Allow us to reminisce about the breakout product that launched RIM onto the world stage… the RIM 850. This pager-on-steroids was the device that first earned the name "crackberry" among Wall St users. Yes, admire that gorgeous 5-line black-on-yellow LCD display. Admire the operating system that look like it was written by some upper-year computer engineering students after an all-nighter to finish an embedded systems class project. Marvel at the 512K RAM. Enjoy the flexibility of replacing its AA battery any time you want – no messy recharging cables. No hassle sync'ing over USB because there's no external connectors at all.
Seriously, the RIM 850 is prehistoric compared to the iPhone. It doesn't even make phone calls! And yet it is absolutely the product that launched RIM. There would be no Pearl or Curve without the 850. So what were those killer features that made the 850 the must-have item of 1999?
- integration with corporate email and calendaring servers
- a keyboard
- brain-dead ease of use
Three things that the iPhone lacks. It has some Exchange support, but not the tightly integrated, seamless solution that is Blackberry Enterprise Server. It doesn't have a real keyboard. And while I'm sure it's quite slick, it lacks the one-handed one-two-reading-my-email simplicity of Blackberry.
So while it will be the must-have toy of the next several months, Apple neither needs nor wants to supplant RIM. And RIM will lose absolutely no sleep over the iPhone.

What's the deal with BizDev?
I've worked in a few companies that had a role called "Business Development". I have to say, this is probably one of the most poorly defined and managed roles I've seen in any of these companies. Usually "Business Development" means "Strategic Alliances". Now what does that mean?
SaaS: A revolt against Enterprise Software
How many failed enterprise IT projects will it take, till too many people have died?
OK, the Bob Dylan reference may be overkill, but SaaS represents a revolt against the sins of enterprise software past. The challenge today selling enterprise software is that buyers are jaded; they have heard it all before, and they no longer believe. They want to see proof that you can deliver what they need, and they are extremely wary of projects with large up-front capital expenses. Read more
Talking to Ourselves
An editorial note: you may see us talking to ourselves.
Saeed and I work together and we both talk to Alan fairly often, but since we started blogging based on the belief that we should share our insights and knowledge with the world, we thought we should share the ongoing conversation with you too. So Saeed may disagree with Alan or Alan may have more to say about something I've written but what we really want is for you to jump in too. As long as you don't want to share your secrets about which penny-stock we should be short-selling.
Software as a Service: Just a delivery model?
I was speaking yesterday with someone in charge of the SaaS initiative at a very large technology company. In the conversation he described Software as a Service (SaaS) as a "delivery model". Now of course SaaS is a delivery model, but it is not just a delivery model, nor is it primarily a delivery model.
In fact the word delivery starts from the wrong place. Isn't SaaS mostly about the consumption model? Read more

BAY CITY, MI — People were excited at the Bay County Fair and Youth Exposition on Thursday, Aug. 8, as 4-H participants were getting their animals ready for the livestock auction.
Dave Clark, 42, of Kawkawlin and his son Alex, 10, were in the livestock barn feeding their rabbits before the auction that takes place at 5:30 p.m at the livestock arena. Alex has two rabbits that are to be put up for auction and he said he hopes to get at least $100 for them.
Clark has two other children participating in the Bay County 4-H program – David, 16, and Laken, 8. To pass their time while they waited for the auction, Clark's children participated in a horse trail class. During the trail class, the participants get judged on doing different obstacles while on their horse.
"The (obstacles) are things you could come across while on a trail," Clark said.
Some of the obstacles included stopping at a mailbox to answer a question, stepping over logs and walking over a small bridge.
Clark said he enjoys the 4-H program because it allows people to see animals they don't typically get to see.
Clark's children have been involved with the program for years, Clark said. He has been involved since he was 9 and his two siblings have been involved since they were 5. Now, his own children are involved.
"They like to do it, it's fun for them," Clark said. "It's something for the kids to do other than video games."
Clark said one of his favorite 4-H events to watch is the Ag-olympics, which is a messy obstacle course the 4-H coordinators set up for the participants to go through.
"Last year I had to put my face in melted marshmallows and then put my face in a bowl of Fruit Loops," Laken said, adding that was her favorite part. "We mostly got ourselves dirty."
The Ag-olympics take place at 1 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9 at the youth activity area.
The fair continues through Saturday, Aug. 10. For a schedule of events, click here.

Musical nabs 15 nominations
Musical "9 to 5" racked up 15 noms for the 54th annual Drama Desk Awards, the most of any Broadway or Off Broadway production ever nominated by the legit org.
Currently in previews and opening Thursday, "9 to 5" finds itself in the new tuner race with "Shrek the Musical" (12 noms), "Billy Elliot" (10), "The Story of My Life" (four) and "Liza's at the Palace" (one) as well as Off Broadway offering "Fela!" (four).
The Broadway revival of "The Norman Conquests" and the Off Broadway preem of "Ruined" led the pack of plays with five mentions each.
Among musical revivals, "Hair" nabbed eight noms, including top revival, while the season's other popular Broadway revival, "West Side Story," trailed with two (one for revival and another for featured actress Karen Olivo).
At 15 bids, "9 to 5" has racked up more nominations than any production in Drama Desk history. (Five shows, including recent offerings "The Drowsy Chaperone" and "Hairspray," have previously scored 14 apiece.)
Nomination dominance of "9 to 5" stands in contrast to its showing in last week's announcement of the Outer Critics Circle noms, when "9 to 5" was snubbed for a top tuner nom and garnered three total.
Among the show's awards contenders are all three leading actresses (Allison Janney, Stephanie J. Block and Megan Hilty), helmer Joe Mantello, composer Dolly Parton and book writer Patricia Resnick, as well as designers of the production.
As happened with the Outer Critics list, the season's logjam of play revivals has prompted unexpected omissions from the roster, including no nominations for the Lincoln Center Theater staging of "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" and a snub for Harriet Walter of "Mary Stuart" (although her co-star, Janet McTeer, earned a nom). The fall's well-reviewed staging of "The Seagull" earned two featured actresses bids (Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan) but not one for star Kristin Scott Thomas.
The crowded 2008-09 sked, packed with a slew of plays toplined by big-name actors, will likely result in similarly surprising exclusions when the Tony noms are announced May 5.
The Drama Desk's new play category included only one Broadway outing, "Reasons to Be Pretty," which originated Off Broadway. "Ruined," "Body Awareness," "Becky Shaw," "Fifty Words" and "Lady," all from off the Main Stem, also compete for the laurel.
Ensemble acting awards will go to the Broadway transfer of the London staging of "The Norman Conquests" and the Off Broadway production of "The Cripple of Inishmaan." Other special Drama Desks will go to Liza Minnelli, Forbidden Broadway, Atlantic Theater Company and Tada! Youth Theater.
Drama Desk is an org of critics and writers whose main activities include the annual round of kudos and a yearlong series of panel discussions. The 2009 awards will be handed out May 17 at Lincoln Center's LaGuardia Concert Hall.
And the nominees are:
Annie Baker, "Body Awareness"
Gina Gionfriddo, "Becky Shaw"
Neil LaBute, "Reasons to be Pretty"
Lynn Nottage, "Ruined"
Michael Weller, "Fifty Words"

Dear Friday
Linking up with Adventures of Newlyweds for "Friday's Letters."
Dear Friday, thank you for your speedy arrival this week. Now if only the weekend could go slowly. Dear Miller Lite, that whole punch top thing is silly. I drank a little too much of you last night playing flip cup and didn't find that the punch helped much. Dear Cosi square bagels, you're tasty. I just wish that there was a chocolate chip one this morning. Dear whoever invented dog harnesses, thank you! Louie likes to pull away now, so the harness does wonders. Dear Louie, please behave more. I know you're a puppy and feel safest in the condo, but could you just let Daddy and I go for long walks with you without a fight? Dear M, thank you for being everything I could ever want and more. You're perfect, and I love you.

|Community creek day slated for December 8
The Sonoma County Water Agency and the Sonoma County Youth Ecology Corps (SCYEC) have scheduled four community creek days this winter,
The first is Saturday, Dec. 8 from 9 a.m.-noon. at Washoe Creek in west Cotati. Participants will clean up trash, plant shade-bearing plants, learn about their watershed, and earn community service hours. This is an opportunity for youth to volunteer in the community and make new friends. The event will take place in light rain; heavy rain cancels (if in doubt, call 547-1930 for a recorded message).
"These community service days are a great way to improve our creeks and flood control channels while giving young people an opportunity to earn community service hours," said Water Agency Director David Rabbitt.
This summer, crews working in the eight-week SCYEC program cleared invasive vegetation and selectively trimmed willows and other plants from 12 miles of creek channels. They removed 1,442 cubic yards of debris and 1,642 pounds of garbage.
Those who participate should park at the Marin-Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District office parking lot at 595 Helman Lane in Cotati.

THE EVOLUTION of health policy and clinical science has had a substantial influence in recent decades on the relationship between mental health and general health. Federal initiatives encouraging linkages between community mental health centers and community health centers, the growth of Health Maintenance Organizations and other organized care settings, health manpower legislation with a mandate for primary care, and advances in biologic psychiatry and behavioral medicine all have contributed to the movement of mental health into the mainstream of health services.
Evidence of the developing relationship is seen in analyses of the de facto mental health and health service systems. Recent data by Regier et al1 indicate that of the estimated 35 million persons in the United States who suffer a diagnosable mental disorder annually, approximately 54% are seen exclusively in the general health care sector. Moreover, between 15% and 50% of all patients visiting primary care physicians have

Following a slow start to the late signing period, Iowa has picked up steam. The Hawkeyes on Tuesday signed their second player in the last four days.
Sunrise Christian Academy big man Gabe Olaseni pledged to Iowa after Maryland JUCO Anthony Hubbard pulled the trigger on Saturday. The recent developments left Iowa with one more available scholarship in the 2011 Class.
Iowa learned of Olaseni last fall when they were recruiting his teammate, Eric Katenda. The latter chose Notre Dame on Tuesday ahead of offers from the Hawkeyes and Wake Forest.
The 6-foot-10 Olaseni hails from London and is relatively new to the game, having only begun playing organized basketball for less than four years.
"Gabe is just a pup," Sunrise Coach Kyle Lindsted said on Sunday. "He has all the tools to really be outstanding. He's going to get way, way better."
Stick with Hawkeye Insider throughout the day for more on the newest Iowa commitment.

At only 33, VCU coach Shaka Smart isn't much older than his players. Indeed, Brandon Rozzell and Bradford Burgess said there are times, such as the impromptu locker room dance sessions that Smart has been known to join, that it's hard to tell them apart.
Smart thinks his youth is one of the main reasons he was able to overcome a rocky start to his tenure, when his players were still upset over the departure of former coach Anthony Grant (who is now at Alabama).
"It's a terrific benefit, because let me tell you, you need boundless energy to coach these guys," said Smart, who also frequently participates in drills and sprints with his players. "So I think my youth is a relative advantage. There's a time when you have to put your foot down. But I think these guys enjoy that it's been a partnership."

By KYLE DAWSON
Special to the Aiken Standard
By the bottom of the sixth inning, Wednesday night's Class AAAA Lower State baseball playoff elimination game appeared to have slipped away from South Aiken. The T-Breds had watched a 5-2 lead slowly evaporate on their home field, becoming a 6-5 deficit with time running out and their season on the line.
But they weren't finished just yet. Stokes Griffith's two-out, two-run single put South Aiken back on top. Josh Kiser then scored on a balk, giving the T-Breds (20-10) the insurance they needed in an 8-7 victory over Sumter.
"I knew I had to do something for my team," Griffith said. "I had made a few mental mistakes earlier in the game and I just had to pull through for my team."
South Aiken got out of the gates quickly, plating a pair of runs in the first inning without even recording a hit. Sumter answered with two runs of their own to open the second before the T-Breds surged back ahead with three more.
Pitchers for both teams struggled to find the strike zone early on. The two teams combined for 12 walks in the first three innings and 18 in the game.
"There was a lot riding on it for both teams, especially on the mound," South Aiken head coach Bob Polewski said. "It was unusual with the pitchers on both squads. A lot of nerves played in it."
South Aiken cashed in on those free passes in the second, scoring two runs on walks with the bases loaded. Sumter had a chance to get out of the frame sooner when Will Smith struck out Mason Collins for the inning's third out, but the pitch got through to the backstop, sending Collins to first and allowing Trey Polewski to score.
From there, Sumter put the game on cruise control. The Gamecocks scored a run in the third and two more in the fourth to tie the game while stonewalling the T-Breds at the plate, allowing one lone base runner after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the third.
"Our pitchers settled down and gave us a chance," Sumter head coach Joe Norris said. "We battled back to take the lead. As their head coach, I can't be more proud of that."
The Gamecocks pulled ahead in the sixth when Taylor McFaddin drove in Jacob Watcher. At that point, it appeared as though Sumter would be moving on for a shot at the Lower State title.
South Aiken had other plans. A Collins single started the rally. Taylor Widener received his third intentional walk of the game, putting the T-Breds in business. Kiser walked to load the bases with two outs, setting the stage for Griffith's clutch hit.
"They did what they had to do in the sixth," Norris said. "That was a nice job (by Griffith). We threw him a breaking ball away. He stayed on it and hit it down the line. They got the hits when they needed to."
Widener came in to pitch the seventh for the T-Breds, allowing a pair of base runners before a Watcher line-out to short ended the game to complete South Aiken's wild comeback and end Sumter's season.
"Both teams kept chipping away," said Polewski. "Fortunately for us, we scored one more than them."
Up next for the T-Breds is a road date at Lexington on Friday. South Aiken must defeat the Wildcats twice in order to claim the Lower State crown.
"We've seen them enough. We're just going to go and play our game," said Polewski of Lexington. "We're going to do what we've done all year. We're going to go in there thinking we can beat them in two games."

Anyone knows any project to save the current execution state to disk?
If there is'nt any, could you give me any clue about where to start to
develop this feature?
I supose that the only thing that should be saved is the state of the
CPUs and a memory dump.
I think this would be interesting, for example, in HPC machines to save
long-term calculations. This way they could save months in case of
power failure.

Alison Sweeney hosts NBC's The Biggest Loser and is the award-winning star of Days of Our Lives, in addition to being an author, director, producer, wife and mom. Like she has for the past two seasons, Alison will blog each week about the latest episode of The Biggest Loser. Follow her on Twitter @Ali_Sweeney.
This week's The Biggest Loser started out on a great note when I explained that it was "All for One" week and that the contestants would all work together for immunity.
Introducing Bingo, Sunny and Lindsay was another great moment. When the kids rocked the nutrition quiz and the physical challenges it was awesome and made me so proud that the show took on childhood obesity and is making a difference with the kids this season.
Then the gym happened. Gina vs. Joe. Jillian vs. Dolvett and Bob. By the time we got to this week's challenge, the tensions were high and the mood of the contestants was definitely different. I didn't realize exactly why until I saw footage of what happened in the gym.
This week's challenge was one of the most grueling in Biggest Loser history. But the contestants kept going and going, despite their injuries and exhaustion. Who would have thought that despite their differences, it was Joe that picked Gina up after her fall and helped get her to the finish line?
At the end of the day, I think that's what separates this show from others – no matter what the differences, everyone truly and genuinely cares about one another. I know it sounds cheesy but it's really true.
That trust became even more apparent high above the ground. Bob and Dolvett were hilarious to watch while doing the trust exercise. Jillian and Alex definitely worked. Same with Gina and Joe.
And how about Jeff and Francelina – our latest love connection on the Ranch?
Hey Bachelor, take notes! Trusting one another and sharing a journey to health leads to lasting relationships!
Oh, my favorite moment of the week: The kids and Jillian signing Seventeen magazine's Body Peace Treaty to help teens feel confident inside and out.

I'm actually excited about a PlayStation Mobile game. To review, PlayStation Mobile games are ones designed to run on PlayStation Certified devices and the Vita and are typically equivalent to your standard Android or iOS time-sink. Yet Haunt the House: Terrortown has done the unimagineable and managed to get me excited about a game that will likely be quite inexpensive and offer a casual experience.
I didn't even know about Haunt the House: Terrortown until seeing it on the PlayStation Blog. I was going to skim right over it on the main page, but that unique art style pulled me in and made me click to learn more. It's quite stylish and even enticed me into watching the trailer.
Once I saw how Haunt the House: Terrortown played, I couldn't resist it. Players control a ghost who is trying to haunt an entire town to get the people living there out of it. The ghost is adorable and when it inhabits objects, his face appears on it. It's as simple as roaming around environments, popping into something and waiting until someone goes past for a quick scare.
In short, it's like a modern, casual take on Haunting Starring Polterguy, my favorite Sega Genesis game. Granted, in that game you were helping a dead kid get revenge on this family. It's been a few years, but I think it was because he died because the father's company made faulty skateboards? Anyways, it was an awesome game and Polterguy would jump into objects to make them react weird, scaring the family until they left the house. Haunt the House: Terrortown sounds like it has a similar premise, only with a more adorable lead, and that's a good thing in my book. Especially after trying the Haunt the House free-to-play, browser-based game that led to Haunt the House: Terror Town.
Haunt the House: Terrortown will be released on January 9, 2013 when the PlayStation Store updates. The price isn't available yet, but will be within a few hours. I'm guessing it'll be under $5, since it is a PlayStation Mobile game. I'm sure you will – by now you're probably as excited about Haunt the House: Terrortown as I am!

Amazon should not charge you card until the item ships.
Does anyone know if Amazon charges for pre-orders upon placing the order or do they wait until the product ships?
Also, thanks, pre-ordered a copy. My only complaint is that I still have to wait nearly half a year until it comes out.

MADISON, Alabama - Think you're busy? Try Dr. Reginald Jackson's schedule.
He makes a living, in part, by teaching music at the Alabama A&M University and the University of North Alabama and selling his books and compact discs on his website.
But he also plays at Bridge Street on the weekends, along with weddings, funerals, banquets and concerts, among other events. He plays the saxophone, piano, organ, flute and clarinet.
On Saturday, Jackson, 50, played the saxophone in the early evening at Bridge Street, among his favorite places to play.
"Of all the places to play, that's one of the tops," he said. "There are all races, all age groups, all hierarchies of life."
There are young couples on dates, elderly husbands and wives on evenings on the town.
"No way they'd have heard me if they had not been at Bridge Street," he said.
No way they would have heard his music, he figures. It's inspirational music, as he calls it.
On his website, he has eight compact discs for sale - seven of them for $15 apiece. There are also his three books - two of them on how to teach yourself to play the keyboard, the other about songs for the piano.
His company is known as JRJ Music Productions.
"It's pretty challenging," he said. "I am at a point in my life where I try to pace myself. I don't want to burn out doing it.
"This weekend, it was really busy."
There was Bridge Street on Saturday, then four church services Sunday.
Jackson is music minister at three churches - El Shaddiah Ministries in Decatur, St. James Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Decatur and United Pentecostal Jubilee House of Prayer in Decatur.
Later Sunday, he played at a wedding in Huntsville.
"That's why Monday is slow," he said.
Jackson has had a strong interest in music since childhood. His mother played the piano in the same church, Oakland United Methodist Church near Decatur, for 50 years.
He recalls his mother holding choir rehearsals in his family's living room. As a sixth-grader, he took his first music lesson.
"I was real excited about playing," he said. "The teacher told my mother, 'I won't be able to teach him - he knows everything.'"
After graduating from Decatur High School, he attended Alabama A&M and the University of Alabama. He received his master's from Northwestern University and his doctorate from Florida State University.
About six years ago, he received his business license and started his own company. About that time, he also began going to Turkey for gospel workshops.
"I've been very fortunate, only because I do so many different things," he said of business.
In Christmas 2009, at the Christmas tree lighting, he started playing at Bridge Street.
"I'm fascinated with the idea of people coming and going" there, he said. "I like the fact it's people from all walks of life. All of a sudden, they walk up, and they're not expecting music. They'll usually leave a tip, but it's not for the money.
"In a way, it's giving back to the community. The other way, it's an inspiration for people, especially kids who are in band."
