A gift card of mine expired at the end of October, so I decided to spend the $15 or so that were left on a chess book. I figured the shipping and handling would cost at most $5, so the book should cost around $10. Went into a portal to look at the candidate books. It turned out the choice was very limited. Most of the books were well over $20, and I spent a lot of time looking for something sensible. Finally settled on Chernev's The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played, for $9.95. The book arrived yesterday, and it looks like I made the right choice. Anyone else have suggestions for an alternative under $10? Just wondering if I could have picked something better.
In California Gift cards by law are not allowed to expire nor can they charge for not using them.
How about some FREE chess books to download.
Or this one: But the web site is very hard to read.
Try Google "Free Chess Books Download"
Thanks, Denver. Just downloaded Debut Hooliganism from the second site, and it looks interesting, even though written in Russian.
Do You Speak or read Russian.
Funny I have access to 20 Russian books I never even looked at them. I speak Spanish and English.
Russian is easy to read, as it is derived from Greek, and everyone learned some Greek letters in school. There are maybe 200 words that you need to learn chess-wise to read Russian chess books with ease.
Some of my Russian books. Always bought them used and never paid more than $5.
And speaking of learning Greek in school:
Russian is easy to read, as it is derived from Greek, and everyone learned some Greek letters in school.
I love those greek letters on those students.
Here is another site for free books.
I am going to see is I can use some of those Russian books. I know that Bobby Fisher always carried some arround with him studying them.
Back to the paper books, here is another for $9.95 :
And here is Capablanca'a A Primer of Chess for only $5.30 on amazon.com
Nunn' Learn Chess for $9.46. Too late for me.

Warm weather here greeted with Christmas music on the radio
WRIT-FM (95.7) became the first station in Milwaukee to flip to an all-Christmas music format at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning. The Clear Channel station was billing itself on the air as Milwaukee's Christmas station. It was the latest start for the format in years.
The first song played was "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas," by Burl Ives. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?
Yes! Yes! Yes! »Read Full Article

Robot Wars
Look at the Call of Duty series. Infinity Ward exhausted the WWII setting, so Activision licensed that aspect to Treyarch; thereby freeing Infinity Ward to pursue a new setting. The Treyarch CoD games suck donkey****, but people (including me) still buy them.

Uhh yeah I'd totally be suprised if Nintendo made another Mario game after galaxy. Where can he go next? The Universe?
They are going to milk that cow completely dry then beat it with a wooden stick, no way they drop the Halo franchise because something silly like the storyline ran out.
Agreed. Halo is the only thing Bungie is really known for anyway.

Longitudes and Attitudes contains the Pulitzer Prize winning columns Friedman has published about the most momentous news story of our time, as well as a diary of his experiences and reactions during this period of crisis. As the author writes, the book is "not meant to be a comprehensive study of September 11 and all the factors that went into it. Rather, my hope is that it will constitute a 'word album' that captures and preserves the raw, unpolished, emotional and analytical responses that illustrate how I, and others, felt as we tried to grapple with September and its aftermath, as they were unfolding."
Readers have repeatedly said that Friedman has expressed the essence of their own feelings, helping them not only by explaining who "they" are, but also by reassuring us about who "we" are. More than any other journalist writing, Friedman gives voice to America's awakening sense of its role in a changed world.

During the dog days of last summer, as the national press corps went baying after the elusive Gary Condit, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a piece called "A Memo from Osama." Entertaining, ironic and caustic in the same instant, the "memo" warned of the consequences of a U.S. failure to respond to "the threat that already exists." The name of that threat, unfamiliar to most Americans at the time, would become a household word in a few short months.
After the horrific attacks of Sept. 11, this and several other pre-9/11 columns included in Friedman's new book, Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After Sept. 11, seem shockingly clear-sighted and prescient. They offer glimpses into the future that seem to surprise even Friedman himself. "Man," he says, sounding bemused, "there are lines in those columns that are prophetic. In terms of what happened, I was paying attention."
Since Sept. 11, as regular readers of his twice-weekly column know, Friedman has, if anything, been paying even closer attention. "I've been on a really unique journey," he says. "I've been to Pakistan twice, to Afghanistan, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Israel."
Probably no one elsejournalist or diplomathas pursued the complex threads of this story as relentlessly as Friedman. In fact, when we speak by phone, Friedman has just returned from Tehran, Iran, where he was exploring one of the recurring themes of this collectionthe need to wage and support a war of ideas in the Arab Muslim world.
"I really try to get the point across that when we start calling people the 'Axis of Evil,' we miss the complexity of these societies and the number of potential partners we have inside these societies who share our world view," he says. "We have to make sure we're inviting these people into our future. Ideas matter. We can kill bin Laden, but somebody's got to kill bin Ladenism. Somebody's got to kill the ideas that not only nurture him, but create an environment in which so many people tacitly support him. We can help, but ultimately the Arab Muslim world has to do that itself."
As a result of such viewsas well as his years of experience in the Middle East, first as a reporter for UPI and then for The New York TimesFriedman "gets a huge amount of email from the Arab Muslim world." Parts of those messages he reprints in the third section of Longitudes and Attitudes. That section is comprised of a series of diaries he kept between September 2001 and June 2002. The diaries make for fascinating reading because they contain anecdotes and analysis Friedman was unable to include in his regular columns, offering a behind-the-scenes look at issues Friedman is writing about and personalities he meets.
One of the surprises in these diaries is how many of Friedman's contacts and correspondents are Muslim women. Another is the pointed description of a little power play by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that very nearly leaves Democratic Sen. Joe Biden and Friedman stranded at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. Still another is an eye-opening portrait of the new Russia.
But most interesting of allin the diaries and in the collected post-Sept. 11 columns that form the bulk of this bookis Friedman's probing examination of Saudi Arabia. Probably the most important question motivating Friedman's unique journey during the last nine months has been why 15 young Saudis were involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
"The Arab Muslim world is going through a hard time," he says, "and I have a lot of sympathy for them. They're struggling with, and in some cases failing at, modernization. That's because of three deficits that have been building up there for more than 50 years. I'm quoting here from a U.N. study that's just come out that says it's a deficit of freedom, it's a deficit of education and it's a deficit of women's empowerment. Thanks to these three deficits they've dug themselves a really deep hole."
The dark side of all this, Friedman writes in his diaries, is that it leads to what he calls the "Circle of bin Ladenism, which is made up of three components: antidemocratic leaders, who empower antimodernist Moslem religious educators to gain legitimacy, who then produce a generation of young people who have not been educated in ways that enable them to flourish in the modern world."
Opinions like thisand equally direct criticism of actions by President Bush, Ariel Sharon and Yasir Arafathave earned Friedman some powerful detractors. About this, Friedman is philosophical: "Being a columnist is not a friend growth industry. If you're going to do this job, you have to pull the trigger on people, sometimes on people you like. If you're not ready to do that, readers can smell it at a hundred paces. . . . A column is like currency, and you can really debase your own currency. I guard zealously the integrity and quality of the column every bit as much as the secretary of treasury does the integrity and quality of the U.S. dollar."
So while his critics may have grown more vociferous, Friedman's popularity has also grown and changed since Sept. 11. "Before 9/11 the CEO read me; now his secretary reads me, too," he says. "Twice I've had bicycle delivery boys stop me on the street in Washington and comment on something they've read in my column. . . . This is not in any way exclusive to me. After 9/11, Americans understand that foreign policy is now a real life-or-death matter. It's about the world their kids are going to grow up in, and as a result, they want to know what's going on."
And, according to Friedman, what's going on remains pretty dark. In his first column after Sept. 11, 2001, Friedman called the attacks the beginning of World War III. Although personally "an innate optimist who is constantly looking for solutions," Friedman stands by his initial assessment.
"Some big events, over time, end up being smaller than they first seem," he says. "My view is that 9/11 will turn out to have been bigger than it first seemedand it seemed pretty big to begin with. It is a huge event in terms of the degree to which it will change our habits, our politics, international relations and the long-term internal discussion in the Arab Muslim world. As I say in the diaries, on 9/11 a wall of civilization was breached that we could not imagine would ever be breached. And the long-term implications of that are just enormous."
Alden Mudge writes from Oakland, California.

So... did you get a wii?! Are there still people lining up?! Let us know how it went.

So... did you get a wii?! Are there still people lining up?! Let us know how it went.
Multiple choice:
A. He got his Wii so he's done with this site.
B. He didn't get one and is too pissed to come back right now.
C. He got there and decided that he really didn't want it after all.
D. None of the above.
E. He got the wii then got jumped in the parking lot
uh...let's hope not. Yeah, he probably got one and can't peel himself away long enough to post. I have a feeling he'll be back to ask for friend codes.
I hope he got it though...Although you'd think he would be here sharing the awesome news though right? Or maybe he is still unpacking stuff and getting it setup. I know it took me a while to get everything together.
ha he seemed excited, seems like hes been trying quite hard to get one, kind of makes me not appricate my wii as much as a i should (i still appricate it alot) because i got mine on EU launch.
I'm not a regular South Park watcher but they had an episode like that where the kid was going to get a Wii (I didn't even know what one was back then) but got frozen. When he woke up in the future he found one at the museum.Originally Posted by RivalDestiny

I love old school rap music, but I listen to more of today's rapper (underground ones). I like Snowgoons, The Last Emperor, Immortal Technique, Celph Titled, Apathy, Demigodz, Cunninglynguist, Deltron 3030, Binary Star, Brother Ali, Ariano, Cormega - Testament, King Syze, IAM, Army of The Pharaohs, Big L, and Lord Lhus. All great rappers especially Immortal Technique, you have to be smart to get some of his metaphors though.

Exactly what I thought. I remember you from another thread about the D2Ks. Can you tell me how they are for Rap? Anyway, my personal favourites are KRS-One (Very intelligent and concious rapper). What i like most about KRS, is he is very intelligent, after his DJ, partner and close friend DJ Scott La Rock died after they're debut album, he started to rap about very smart topics, for example government, killing etc. And finally Big Daddy Kane. (ESPECIALLY later albums, no joke), not too much to say other then he is a very talented free-style/battle emcee. Listen to Lyrical Gymnastics-BDK and Higher Level-KRS for to understand what im talking about:). Pm if you want any other songs by him.

text: I've been working for and with Open Source projects for more than 8 years now, and I wanted to share with you guys some of my experiences so far. It has been such a rewarding journey that sometimes it goes unnoticed, mostly because it gets difficult to write a long blog post summing up the last 8 years. On this blog post I will be sharing some of my personal opinions about what things I love about Open Source communities, projects, organizations and the ecosystem in general. I will also try to share some advice about how to join and get involved with different communities if you are interested in doing so. After all the advantages that I will be describing here, i hope that you will gain some interest in it. I'm also adding here the the slides from our talk (Maciej and myself) at the @JBCNConf closing Keynote.

Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning actress Christine Lahti to Star on 'Hawaii Five-0' in Recurring role
via press release:
…from CBS Entertainment
LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2012 – Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning actress Christine Lahti ("Chicago Hope") has been cast in a recurring role on HAWAII FIVE-0, which begins its third season this fall on the CBS Television Network. Lahti will portray Doris McGarrett, the thought-to-be-deceased mother of Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin).
"The mysterious character of Doris McGarrett is a pivotal one to the mythology of our show," said Executive Producer Peter Lenkov, "and we are thrilled to have a seasoned and beloved actress such as Christine to portray her. She's a wonderful addition to the H50 family and the fans will certainly enjoy what we have in store for her. Let's just say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Lahti earned her first Oscar nomination for "Swing Shift," then took the statue home 10 years later as a first-time director for her short film "Lieberman in Love." In 1998, Lahti won both the Emmy and her second Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Dr. Kathryn Austin on "Chicago Hope." Three years later, her feature film directorial debut, "My First Mister," opened the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Additional film credits include "Running on Empty," for which she received the 1998 LA Film Critics Award as well as a Golden Globe nomination, "Leaving Normal," "The Doctor," "Housekeeping," "Whose Life Is It Anyway?" and "…And Justice for All."
Her television credits include a starring role in "Jack & Bobby," for which she received both SAG and Golden Globe Award nominations, "Law & Order: SVU" and numerous television movies including ?Amerika,? for which she earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
A highly esteemed and award-winning stage actress, most recently Lahti starred on Broadway in "God of Carnage," and off-Broadway in "Body of Water" and "Dreams of Flying, Dreams of Falling."
HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new, elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands' sun-drenched beaches. The series stars Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park, Masi Oka and Michelle Borth. Peter Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.

I like this approach, with the caveat that if I get my way, E will move away from depending on the DNS system for module isolation, and I'm not yet sure whether the resulting system will have globally unique identifiers *in the pathnames*. Also, there will always be source files which are not organized unique- name-wise: top-level programs ("scripts"), caplets, etc. I don't see how to generate reasonable relative paths for these.

Each finalist will be given five minutes to pitch their idea and then have five minutes to answer questions from the judging panel. After the pitches, the judges will deliberate and make their decision: the winners and runners up will be announced at the awards ceremony in the evening.
Deadline for applications: 6pm, 16th February
Pitching final: 2nd March
All sectors competition: £5,000 total prize fund

JEFFERSON - Richard Alexander Whitaker, the Flowery Branch man charged with gunning down a Pendergrass police officer after a police chase in December, is set to be arraigned Aug. 9, according to court records.

Whitaker, 27, who also has given authorities a Lawrenceville address, faces 17 charges, including murder and two counts of felony murder, in the death of Pendergrass police officer Chris Ruse. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Whitaker.
As of Wednesday morning, no motions have been filed in Whitaker's case, according to court records. At an arraignment, a defendant is formally charged and asked to enter a plea - no contest, guilty or not guilty.
A co-defendant - 18-year-old Nolan Leon Chauvin IV of Dacula - pleaded guilty in March to lesser charges of conspiracy to commit a burglary, possession of tools for the commission of a crime and possession of a sawed-off shotgun. Chauvin, who was arrested on aggravated assault and felony murder charges in Ruse's death, is expected to testify against Whitaker.
Whitaker and Chauvin were driving to commit a burglary at an unspecified location on the night of Ruse's murder, according to the indictment. The two had guns and burglary tools, according to court records.
At about 8 p.m. on Dec. 29, Ruse tried to pull over their white 1998 GMC Sierra pickup driving north on U.S. Highway 129 in Pendergrass, according to authorities. When it did not stop, Ruse pursued the truck, and in nearby Talmo, the truck overturned. Ruse, a veteran police officer, was shot and killed as he approached the wreck, according to authorities.

Things to see
High on a hill, the bell tower of St. Anne's Church presents visitors with 360 degree views of the city. Made famous by Francis Sylvester Mahony's song, The Bells of Shandon, the 18th Century bells are still singing today. The English Market is a mecca for foodies. Covered in ornamental architecture, the indoor market is a Shangri-La of fresh produce from all over the globe. With local specialties too, such as spiced beef, the market is a must-visit. If you're hungry for entertainment, then take your seat at the glass encased Opera House. With concerts, comedy, theater, and opera all taking to the stage, there's always something exciting on. In Ballintemple, you'll find Pairc Ui Chaoimh. The Gaelic Athletic Association Stadium is where major hurling and football matches are played. For a taste of Ireland after the game, go and admire Murphy's Brewery – the very home of Murphy's legendary Irish stout.
Hotels in Cork
There is a particularly eclectic mix of hotels in Cork, with something to suit every purse and preference. Whether you prefer a chic luxury boutique or a homely graded townhouse overlooking the river, Cork will cater. Five-star city luxury offers you an array of lavish amenities, such as spa facilities, whilst mid-range hotels don't scrimp on the creature comforts either. Budget hotels in Cork are in good supply, with plenty of modestly priced and well located B&B's too. For those that like to dip in and out of the city buzz at their leisure, then there are plenty of hotels to choose from in the idyllic surrounding countryside.
Where to stay
A hotel in Cork's spirited city center will ensure you get the most out of your stay. Whether you're on a romantic break for two or a family holiday, basing yourself in the midst of the compact city will keep all the best bits within walking distance. St. Patrick's Street is Cork's main thoroughfare and a shopper's paradise, whilst tantalizing eateries and thirst quenching pubs and bars line MacCurtain and Oliver Plunkett Street. Galleries and museums include the Crawford Gallery and the Cork Public Museum (located just outside the city center), whilst the historic jewel of the city, the Gothic St. Finbarr's Cathedral, is located close by too.
How to get to
Those travelling to Cork from Britain or other European countries will likely touch down at Cork Airport, 5 miles south of the city. Buses into the city run frequently, arriving at Parnell Place Bus Station which is conveniently located in the city center. Taxis are also plentiful, and reasonably priced. Shannon Airport welcomes visitors from the US, with CityLink and Bus Éireann bus services taking passengers from the airport to Cork city in around two and a half hours. From there, links to rest of the city can easily be made from Parnell Place Bus Station and Cork Kent Railway Station.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - About 8,000 public workers joined a telecommunications strike Thursday, union officials said, slowing phone services and foreshadowing the biggest labor action since apartheid ended in 1994.
A larger strike, set to begin Tuesday amid a dispute over wage increases, has been called by a dozen unions representing 800,000 teachers, nurses, police officers and other unionized civil servants. The government warned that police and others who provide essential services face reprisals if they join next week's strike.
President Thabo Mbeki's government said it will grant only 6.3 percent increases to public workers, short of the 7.3 percent demanded by their unions. The stance has strained the traditional alliance of the ruling African National Congress with its communist and trade-union allies. Mbeki succeeded former President Nelson Mandela in June.
The strike for higher pay in the state telecommunications conglomerate, Telkom, began Monday. It expanded to 25,000 workers Thursday when 8,000 more joined the walkout, said Dirk Hermann, spokesman for the Mineworker's Union, which represents many phone workers. Telkom, however, put the number of strikers Thursday at only 16,600 employees.
With inflation running about 7 percent, the Telkom strikers are pressing for raises of 10 percent to 12 percent. Telkom management offered a 5 percent raise with productivity incentives.
At the Telkom hub in Johannesburg, where many of the phone lines that carry data for automatic bank teller machines are operated, breakdowns in about 70 lines went unrepaired - about 20 times the normal backlog rate, said Dick Heyns, a Mineworker's Union organizer. The 70 lines service about 210 bank teller machines.
However, Telkom spokeswoman Amanda Singleton said there had been no interruption of banking services.

Permanent ResidenceCyprus
Permanent Residence
Find out how to apply for permanent residence in Cyprus...
Citizens from other EU countries who have been resident in Cyprus for at least five uninterrupted years are eligible to apply for a Permanent Registration Certificate.
Non-EU citizen family members of an EU citizen may apply for a Permanent Residence Card, also called a Long Term Residence Permit. An application for a Permanent Residence Card must be submitted within one month of the Residence Card's expiry. The Permanent Residence Card for non-EU family members is valid for 10 years and is renewable.
The family members residing with anyone who has obtained permanent residency are also eligible to apply, regardless of nationality.
A Cyprus resident need not wait five years before applying for permanent residence if they have been employed or self-employed on a permanent basis for a fixed period of time. There is also some protection for the family members of a person who could qualify for permanent residency but dies before doing so. In all instances the criteria differ and information is available from the Ministry of the Interior (in Greek).
Permanent Registration Certificate validity
Residence cards without an expiry date remain valid during temporary absences not exceeding six months in any year or by one absence of a maximum of 12 consecutive months for pregnancy, childbirth, serious illness, study or professional training, or a posting in a different country.
Once permanent residency is acquired, an absence from the country of more than two consecutive years will nullify residency.
Application for permanent residency
A completed application form is required along with supporting documentation. The type of documentation needed varies according the applicant's situation.
- Application forms can be downloaded by selecting a category from the Migration Page on the Ministry of the Interior website
For more information on this procedure, contact the Civil Registry and Migration Department at the Ministry of the Interior.
Cyprus Identity Cards
EU and non-EU nationals who reside in Cyprus are no longer given Cyprus identity cards. People of Cypriot origin only are entitled to obtain an ID card, when they acquire Cypriot nationality. ID cards issued to non-Cypriot nationals are not a substitute for a residency document.

Local rock band Animals in Human Attire handles change well
Local rock band Animals in Human Attire never specified exactly what animals the band's name refers to — but if we had to choose, we'd definitely say squirrels.
The band has a tendency to swiftly zig and zag, seemingly on impulse, through a series of tempo changes and musical curveballs on its forthcoming album "Ourmegadawn" (available beginning April 11 at shows, mamrecords.com and aiha.bandcamp.com). »Read Full Article

InfoScale Enterprise
Superior business continuity and storage management starts here
InfoScale Enterprise
World-class availability meets world-class storage management
InfoScale Enterprise helps your IT teams achieve ever more reliable operations and better protected information and applications across your physical and virtual infrastructures.
With enterprise-class resilience and software-defined storage features for critical services across your data centre infrastructure, InfoScale Enterprise ensures that your IT operations perform at their highest levels.
Availability and performance for critical databases
What every Oracle RAC and Sybase ASE CE needs
Implement and manage highly available Real Application Clusters (RAC) databases with InfoScale Enterprise, a reliable, easy-to-use storage and cluster management solution. InfoScale Enterprise helps you increase flexibility, scalability and performance, while reducing system downtime.
The solution combines the strengths of Sybase ASE CE with robust storage management and high-availability capabilities to implement fully scalable Sybase shared-disk clusters, offering benefits in availability and performance.
All the performance. None of the downtime.
Application protection minimises planned and unplanned downtime
InfoScale Enterprise includes high-availability and disaster-recovery capabilities for your critical business services—including
individual databases, custom applications and complex multi-tier
applications—across physical and virtual environments and over any distance.
Intelligent monitoring for applications and infrastructure detects possible risks to availability and automatically recovers applications when needed. Site outages are automatically detected and application recovery to a disaster-recovery site is initiated automatically or on your call. With built-in testing to proactively detect and report potential problems before they have an impact on IT services, InfoScale Enterprise helps minimise unwanted downtime for your critical business services.
Availability over any distance
Extend your disaster recovery beyond data replication
Disaster recovery is about more than replicating data. For mission-critical applications that must remain online even in the event of a site failure, disaster recovery means automating your application recovery.
InfoScale Enterprise provides disaster recovery over any distance, allowing your organisation to deploy both local high availability and remote clustering for a complete disaster recovery solution.
With a single click, you can migrate applications between servers in a local data centre, in the same urban area, or move all applications to a data centre thousands of miles away.
Maximum uptime for multi-tier applications
Faster recovery without the manual intervention
As application components increasingly get distributed across multiple physical and virtual tiers, their management gets increasingly complex. InfoScale Enterprise shields you from this complexity with Virtual Business Services (VBS), a simple construct that internalises the start/stop sequencing and dependency between different tiers that comprise the multi-tier applications.
VBS is aware of the complete business service and takes action in the event of a failure. When an individual component of the multi-tier application fails, Virtual Business Services not only recovers the failed application, it automatically orchestrates the connection to other computing resources needed to keep the business service available. The result is faster recovery and minimal downtime—all with no manual intervention.
Detect failures instantly. Recover data faster.
Increase your detection rates, not your overhead
Normal clustering relies on resource polling to determine the
health of your application resources. This polling process increases processor overhead but, more importantly, doesn't always notice faults immediately.
Intelligent Monitoring Framework in InfoScale Enterprise asynchronously monitors selected Resources, meaning failures can be detected instantaneously. The CPU overhead associated with traditional poll-based monitoring is also greatly reduced.
Automate disaster recovery testing
Regular testing helps you prepare for real disasters.
Your production environments are constantly changing. Having a regular cadence of testing your disaster recovery strategy is critical to guarantee a successful recovery in the event of an outage.
InfoScale Enterprise includes Fire Drill, a tool that simulates disaster recovery tests by starting up an application at the disaster recovery site as it would in an actual disaster. Because it is a simulation, Fire Drill does not disrupt production applications, so it can be run as often as necessary, eliminating the need for extensive manual weekend testing.
Better QoS. Fewer costs. All the time.
Meet application requirements for storage performance
SmartIO and storage-tiering technologies from Veritas not only enhance storage performance and QoS but also the cost-effectiveness of the overall storage environment.
SmartIO is especially useful for lots of small, random reads and writes, such as with a transactional database. By keeping hot data inside the server on fast solid-state devices, application reads are filled up to 400 percent faster than they can be over a traditional Storage Area Network (SAN), reducing costs by more than 80 percent.
Additionally, storage tiering allows less frequently accessed or lower-priority data to be stored on lower-grade, less-expensive storage.
Data flexibility = data availability
Dial up your data accessibility and availability
InfoScale Storage's Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) and Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) helps you enable data accessibility and availability across your infrastructure.
FSS uses network connection between nodes and enables sharing of local storage across a global namespace to provide data redundancy, high availability and disaster recovery without the need for shared storage. It also allows logical volumes to be created out of network-shared storage, as well as physically shared storage within a common storage namespace.
By rerouting I/Os to other available data paths in the event of a storage path failure, DMP improves storage I/O performance and availability across mixed server and storage platforms. It also automatically restores failed paths that become healthy.
Scale out. Without the freak out.
Application scale-out made easy
InfoScale Enterprise can be mounted on up to 64 cluster nodes simultaneously, making it an ideal solution for application scale-out. Its load-balancing architecture distributes file ownership across all nodes in the cluster for near-linear performance scalability. The result: reliable and high-performance file data access across a broad spectrum of enterprise applications, including media applications and unstructured data.
Three technologies. One lower TCO.
Storage management solutions for every financial objective
InfoScale Enterprise helps lower you total cost of operations (TCO) in three critical ways.
InfoScale deduplication and compression capabilities reduce the amount of storage hardware you need. Thin reclamation allows you to reclaim (and reuse) thin-provisioned LUNs that are no longer required because the data they stored have been deleted. And storage virtualisation support frees you to choose the storage hardware vendor that's best for you.
Streamline your operating system migration
Maximise your migration while minimising your downtime.
Moving application workloads from one OS to another has its benefits. But it can have its headaches, too.
Take the tedium and application outages out of your next migration with InfoScale Enterprise. InfoScale helps you move to your operating system of choice. With Portable Data Containers, you can slash downtime by exporting data from one operating system and importing it to another one in minutes.
Enable cost-effective local and remote access
Host-based mirroring and replication technologies
When replication is implemented across heterogeneous operating systems, several point tools are required, making management of copies a difficult task.
InfoScale Enterprise helps protect the data with copy service options that address both local and remote replication needs across all major operating systems. For mission-critical applications that require recovery at remote sites, InfoScale Enterprise enables the efficient replication of data over IP networks. This host-based technology enables data to be replicated between multi-vendor storage arrays, giving organisations an extremely flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional, array-based replication architectures.

Our Values -
Our firm provides outstanding Estate Planning, Probate, and Elder Law services for our clients because of our dedication to our core underlying principles of trust, professionalism, quality, compassion, and timeliness.
Trust -
There was a time when professional worked to earn and keep a client's trust. There was not a question that the advice being given by a professional was the same advice he would give to a member of his own family. That was usually because communities were smaller. Professionals relied on word of mouth, and a bad reputation got around fast. So, professionals protected their reputations.
That time is still here. We work to earn and keep your trust. We will strive to give you the same advice we would a member of our own families. Then at the end of the day, we hope you will have good things to say about us. Many of our client have. We have posted some of their comments throughout our web site.
We also have other professionals who have referred clients to us. Some of our referral sources have graciously allowed us to post their information on our web site. If you have an opportunity to use their services, please do so. Please let them know where you got their name.
Professionalism -
Our firm is one of the leading local firms in our practice fields (probate, estate planning, business formation / incorporation). By combining our expertise, experience and the energy of our staff, each client receives close personal and professional attention.
Our high standards, service and specialized staff spell the difference between our outstanding performance, and other firms. We make sure that every client is served by the expertise of our whole firm.
Quality -
A law firm is known for the quality of its service. Our firm's reputation and client satisfaction reflects the high standards we demand of ourselves.
Our primary goal as a trusted advisor is to be available to provide insightful advice to enable our clients to make informed legal decisions. We do not accept anything less from ourselves and this is what we deliver to you.
We feel it is extremely important to continually professionally educate ourselves to improve our technical expertise, legal & financial knowledge and service to our clients.
Our high service quality and "raving fan" clients are the result of our commitment to excellence.
Compassion -
As stated above, we want to treat you as though you were a member of the family. We handle a number of probate and estate planning cases every day. We know that many of our clients are facing issues for the first time which we address every day. We promise that while we will try to reassure you and we will do our best for you, we will not take your problems lightly.
Timeliness -
This principal includes two aspects of timeliness. First, timeliness in responding to your matter. We strive to respond to your inquiries, questions, and concerns promptly. We also work to fulfill deadlines so that your critical objectives are achieved. Clients who choose our firm rely on competent advice that is fast, accurate, and personal.
We will answer your questions, as they impact your personal and business legal situations. We welcome you to contact us anytime.
Second, we stay up to date, and timely implement technology to increase client satisfaction. This has led us to make a secure portal available to our clients for the quickly and easily making documents available. This method of communication does not completely eliminate the need for mailings, but it greatly reduces it.
For probate cases, where it is often helpful to make documents available to many parties, secondary portal can be made available to heirs and beneficiaries so that multiple copies of documents do not have to be made and distributed. Let us know if such a solution may help with your probate needs.

Context Private for-profit and private not-for-profit dialysis facilities provide
the majority of hemodialysis care in the United States. There has been extensive
debate about whether the profit status of these facilities influences patient
Objective To determine whether a difference in adjusted mortality rates exists
between hemodialysis patients receiving care in private for-profit vs private
not-for-profit dialysis centers.
Data Sources We searched 11 bibliographic databases, reviewed our own files, and
contacted experts in June 2001–January 2002. In June 2002, we also searched
PubMed using the "related articles" feature, SciSearch, and the reference
lists of all studies that fulfilled our eligibility criteria.
Study Selection We included published and unpublished observational studies that directly
compared the mortality rates of hemodialysis patients in private for-profit
and private not-for-profit dialysis centers and provided adjusted mortality
rates. We masked the study results prior to determining study eligibility,
and teams of 2 reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility of all studies.
Eight observational studies that included more than 500 000 patient-years
of data fulfilled our eligibility criteria.
Data Extraction Teams of 2 reviewers independently abstracted data on study characteristics,
sampling method, data sources, and factors controlled for in the analyses.
Reviewers resolved disagreements by consensus.
Data Synthesis The studies reported data from January 1, 1973, through December 31,
1997, and included a median of 1342 facilities per study. Six of the 8 studies
showed a statistically significant increase in adjusted mortality in for-profit
facilities, 1 showed a nonsignificant trend toward increased mortality in
for-profit facilities, and 1 showed a nonsignificant trend toward decreased
mortality in for-profit facilities. The pooled estimate, using a random-effects
model, demonstrated that private for-profit dialysis centers were associated
with an increased risk of death (relative risk, 1.08; 95% confidence interval,
1.04-1.13; P<.001). This relative risk suggests
that there are annually 2500 (with a plausible range of 1200-4000) excessive
premature deaths in US for-profit dialysis centers.
Conclusions Hemodialysis care in private not-for-profit centers is associated with
a lower risk of mortality compared with care in private for-profit centers.
