November 7, 2011: The outsourcing and offshoring market across the globe is witnessing a remarkable drop in the quantum of transaction during the third quarter of 2011, first in the four quarters, according to the Everest group. Everest group is advisory research firm which helps global services giants in improving their performance. The declining market saw 472 outsourcing deals when compared to 508 and 516 in the previous consecutive quarters.
A quarterly report on global outsourcing and offshoring industry, named Market Vista: Q3 2011 reports that the global outsourcing and offshoring transaction volume has reached about $2.7 billion in Annual Contract Value. This shows a 6 per cent increase in the annual contract value when compared to the previous quarter which is as a result of two mega business deals that were signed during the quarter. The market has witnessed a decline of 12 per cent in the Business Process transactions and 7 per cent decline in the IT outsourcing transactions in comparison to Q2 OF 2011.
According to Amneet Singh, Vice President, Global sourcing at Everest, it will take few more quarters to confirm whether this is a temporary decline or the start of another downturn trend.
The transaction activity in terms of volume was lead by the Banking Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector. In addition to this the manufacturing distribution and sale (MDS) sector also demonstrated notable activity in the market. Government and defense organization deals declined significantly, the energy and utilities sector demonstrated notable increase in contractual activities.
During the quarter, three mega deals were signed which is valued at $1 billion individually in terms of total contract value (TCV).
North America and Europe witnessed marginal decline in the transactional and ACV volumes, while the UK and rest of the world witnessed a sharp decline. The captive market in India witnessed increased activity with 20 new centers being introduced during Q3, 2011 when compared to 4 new centers in Q3, 2010. A captive unit refers to a business unit of a parent company, which set up in an offshore location. This reduces the dependency of a company on third party service providers. In India captive unit units are being set up by Pharma and manufacturing companies in addition to BFSI companies.
India will remain to be a favorite location for buyers and outsourcing service providers will continue to grow their capacity to meet the increasing demand.

Joel Kinnaman: Bad Boy, Lone Wolf, RoboCop
Joel Kinnaman never needed to leave Sweden to become a movie star. In 2009—the year he moved to the United States—he appeared in eight films in his home country. One of them, the first installment in a straight-to-DVD series, would earn him an unprecedented nomination for Sweden's prestigious Guldbagge film award. Another, Easy Money, shot for early 2010, would go on to win him the award for Best Actor. Kinnaman was carving out a niche for himself; he could play the bad guy and make you root for him—and he did it well. One Swedish critic called him a "natural and convincing" scene stealer. But as anyone who's ever met the street-smart upstart from innercity Stockholm can tell you: This isn't the kind of guy satisfied by a Guldbagge Award. And when a half-assed cameraphone audition nearly landed him the lead in Thor, he couldn't turn back. "My impression was, this Hollywood thing doesn't seem too hard," Kinnaman says. "I was like, 'Fuck it, I'll give it a shot.'"
25 Guys Who Are Changing the Game>>>
Kinnaman, 34, is a lone wolf. Raised in what he calls "lower-middle-class inner-city Stockholm" by a Swedish mother and an American father, the only son of four children attended an English-speaking public high school. There, his classmates—often the spoiled kids of diplomats and wealthy expats—would come and go with the seasons. Attempts at attachment were futile. Those on whom he could count to stay, a raucous local crew, were unpredictable in other ways.
"It wasn't a band of brothers in any way," Kinnaman says. "It was always a case of somebody getting picked on within the group, and you never knew if it was you."
He tells me about how one day he suddenly found himself on the defensive after the ringleader of the group accused Kinnaman of stealing somebody's watch. Kinnaman insists that it was "bullshit." He stood up for himself and the situation quickly escalated. "I don't really remember the actual fight," he says. "But I know that I knocked him down. Then all my other friends pulled me to the ground and started kicking me while I was down."

"Paddling" the Jersey Shore
An amusing tale of a Gulf Coaster learning some lessons of East Coast surf fishing the hard way!
Hopefully this tale will both amuse and help you avoid doing something so stupid yourself. This happened back in the fall of 2003, early November I believe.......
I was WAY away from my home state of Texas on a career "adventure" in Philly for a few months. I took advantage of a Saturday to go fish the fabled Jersey shore for the "stripahs" that were reported to be there. I had no fishing buddies in the area and limited internet-edness, so I basically just picked a spot on the map that looked fishy.
Making my way to Corson's Inlet State Park, a little ways south of Ocean City, I dressed for battle complete with Capilene and fleece, waders, wading jacket, and homemade plastic stripping basket, grabbed my 9wt Heliply and started looking for fish. The inlet itself was pouring quite alot of water into the Atlantic and I knew my intermediate wasn't going to get down to any fish hunkered down in that current. Off to the beach I went.
The beach portion of that piece of shore is quite amazing, with the interaction of the current and the surf, movement of bars, and other oceanic happenings you just don't see on the Texas coast.
I saw an angler WAY out in the surf and reflexively decided without conscious thought that was absolutely the best and coolest place to be fishing. I discovered that he had walked out on a bar that was about 6" under water level and I followed the same path. I think I must have been about a half mile out by the time I took my position a safe and courteous distance away from him and started casting. He was chunking plugs and landed a few nice stripers (30"+) in the 1.5-2 hrs we were out there. He then said something like "I think its time to head in". I being young, burly, and bulletproof answered back "I'm gonna fish a little longer and then head in".
Because young moxie beats local wisdom, right?
I fished 20 or 30, yeah so probably more like 60 minutes longer and then headed back towards dry land. I got about 100yds towards the beach when the surf started getting deep quickly.
"CRAP, uh.... alright"
I figured I could just move to one side or the other and gain solid footing again. I tried that for a while and it just didn't work out. I realized I was just going to have to deal with armpit deep surf action and keep trudging along. It turns out that wasn't going to work either, as I took a step that didn't connect and was quickly in over my head, being swept sideways by a rip, and immersed in November Jersey Shore water.
There was a brief impulse of panic but realized this was a real-life situation where I was going to have to get my shit together if I was going to survive.
I started to doggy paddle as well as one can with your best fly rig thrust up above the water and wearing a rigid stripping basket, and eventually got up to where I could get gulps of air. It didn't take too much more tripod-doggy-paddling before I got to the other side of that rip and was able to walk up to belly depth.
I've never felt more scared, alive, invigorated, thankful, and cold in my life. My wide-eyed, shivering arse made it all the way up out of the surf under the amazed gaze of a few beach-goers, and another problem became obvious: I had at least a gallon of water down each leg.
Bound to exhibit my affinity for function over grace I devised a solution. I took off my jacket and set my tackle off to the side, and proceeded to do a handstand, one leg up at a time, to drain the water out. I think the onlookers were glad the odd show they had just seen at least had an amusing punchline.
I walked my soggy self back to the car, left my wife (then girlfriend) a voicemail saying I was "still alive/ok NOW" (who knew she'd find that terrifying?) and drove my soggy self back to my crappy job in Philly that I would quit about 2 weeks later.
And I didn't even catch a single damn fish.

Minimum Equipment List - MEL
The recent accident at Sao Paulo, Brazil, apparently involved an aircraft with a deactivated reverse thrust system.
Below is a typical MEL (Minimum Equipment List) page related to the Reverse Thrust system. These manuals are produced in a generic form by the aircraft manufacturers, then each aviation authority and airline within that aviation authority's jurisdiction might add restrictions specific to their concerns. This sample is from the British CAA's version for the Boeing 737-100 airplane (simply because that's the first one I found in an online format).
I don't recall if the Airbus A319 MEL has the same restriction against operations on slippery and flooded runways, but I strongly suspect it does (does anyone have a copy handy out there, to confirm or deny this?)...
I do know that the 319 has great short field landing capabilities with just the normal brakes, anti-skid system and ground spoilers. In fact when executing a max performance (short field) landing on the A319 on a DRY runway, the airplane decelerates so quickly that the reversers can't deploy fast enough to be of much use. That is, by the time the reverse 'kicks in' the airplane is below the minimum speed at which reverse thrust is effective.
I also know that hydro-planning will occur on a runway that has even a small amount of standing water. Once hydroplaning begins, the landing distance tables go out the window. In these conditions, reverse thrust is essential to slowing the airplane until the wheels can contact the pavement.

Post Grad (PG-13) *
You won't need a college degree to see where this is going.
By Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald
Post Grad is an annoying, tedious little film that touts a young woman's desire to fulfill her dreams, at least until she drops them and everything else and runs across the country to follow a boy she basically has ignored for the past four years. Without calling first.
Such is the peculiar life lesson offered here. It might be bearable if the rest of the film were smart, funny, clever or in any way interesting, but, like its protagonist, Post Grad is self-satisfied without any real reason to be. The cast promises more than it can deliver, so weighed down is it with tired jokes and stereotypical characters, from self-obsessed, college-grad daughter Ryden (Alexis Bledel of Gilmore Girls) to wacky Grandma (Carol Burnett) whose presence is solely the means to a running gag about a coffin.
Ryden's dream is to get a job at Los Angeles' top publishing house (part of her problem may be that most publishing houses are 3,000 miles away in New York City). When she isn't hired immediately, she's forced to move back in with her sitcom-crazy family: her scheming dad (Michael Keaton, doing some middle-aged, suburban riff on his Night Shift hustler and trying hard to steal the show); surprisingly sane mom (the fabulous Jane Lynch as straight woman to Keaton's madness), and weird little brother (Bobby Coleman of Martian Child, whose behavior would worry me a lot more than it worries his parents).
BFF Adam (Zach ``Matt Saracen'' Gilford from Friday Night Lights) tries to joke Ryden out of her funk, but she's too self-absorbed to notice he's in love with her. (She also doesn't have any other friends. Wonder why?) She is, however, able to take note of her parents' handsome neighbor (Rodrigo Santoro), the inappropriately older hot man to whom women in their early 20s tend to gravitate.
We all know that Adam and Ryden are destined to be together, though really he deserves better, and so we wait for Ryden's awakening, which is about as much fun as writing a term paper on an inexplicably dull subject.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Rasheed Wallace scored 22 points and helped end Tim Duncan's streak of 61 straight double-figure scoring games as the Portland Trailblazers beat San Antonio.
It was the first meeting between the teams since the Spurs swept the Blazers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals last season on their way to the NBA title.
If the Blazers wanted to make a statement against the defending champs, it came across loud and clear. Bouncing back from its first two-game losing streak of the season, Portland never trailed and held a double-figure lead most of the second half.
Duncan, who entered the game averaging 24.8 points, scored just nine points and had six rebounds in 38 minutes. He did not connect on his first field goal until dropping in a jump hook from the corner with 8:06 remaining.
Wallace hit seven of his first nine shots in the first half to lead a balanced Blazers attack. Arvydas Sabonis added 17 points, Bonzi Wells 21 and Detlef Schrempf 11.
David Robinson led the Spurs with 29 points and 12 rebounds and Avery Johnson added 18. But Johnson, the Spurs point guard, had just one assist.

America's defence chiefs have adopted a belligerent new tone over the possibility of carrying out a military strike against Iran.
In an interview with CBS on Monday, Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta said that the Iranians are at a point in the their nuclear programme where they can develop a bomb in a year or less.
He added that the Obama administration "shares the same concern" with Israel over the Iranian nuclear programme and that an Iranian bomb would be "unacceptable".
According to Mr Panetta, "the US does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us and that's a red line, obviously, for the Israelis. If we have to do it we will deal with it."
The Defence Secretary would not specify whether the US is planning a military strike but emphasised that "there are no options off the table".
The head of the US military, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, was more specific in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
He said that a military strike would be "executable if necessary", though he warned of a "miscalculation" that could cause "a tragedy for the region and for the world".
General Dempsey acknowledged that should Israel decide to attack Iran, there was no guarantee that it would give the US prior warning and that the US military was co-operating with the IDF to "establish some confidence on the part of the Israelis".
These forthright statements by Mr Panetta and General Dempsey signal a change in the US position. Previously, the American intelligence community believed that Iran was a few years away from assembling a nuclear bomb and Mr Panetta himself has warned against a military strike in recent months.
Senior officials in the Israeli defence establishment connected the shift in American policy to new intelligence passed on last week in meetings in Washington between Defence Minister Ehud Barak, President Barack Obama, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Mr Panetta and other senior American officials.

Presidential Medal of Freedom
Robert Strauss: It was in their sitting room, right off their bedroom, in the small living quarters the President has up there. Not so small, but not very spacious, either. We got into this discussion, and the President started off by -- it took him about 20 minutes to tell his side of that and how there was nothing to these stories and how wrong they were. And he turned to this other fellow and said, "I trust you agree?" and he said, "Mr. President, I sure do. I think the press is blowing this all up. Eisenhower had his U2 problems, and they blew over, and Truman had his scandal problems, and they blew over, and this will blow over. All you need to do is hold your fire and hang in there." And the President turned to me and said, "I trust you agree, Bob?" I said, "As a matter of fact, I couldn't disagree more." After gulping a couple times, I said -- I told that story about the Lyndon Johnson experience -- and I said, "Before I came up here tonight, I asked Deaver if he wanted to hear the truth. The truth of the matter was Deaver's answer to me was " -- I hadn't told it before -- "He said, 'She wants him to hear it. I don't know whether he wants to hear it or not, but she wants him to hear the truth.'"

Two Oscars for Best Actress
I remember auditioning. I remember Kimberly having me not only read what I had prepared, but practically the whole script. After the audition, I remember feeling really liberated. I felt liberated, not because I felt like I had done a wonderful job or that I was going to get the movie, but that I had fought for myself and that I put myself on a plane and I went there and I fought for something that I really wanted. I remember I felt wonderful. It was a great feeling to have done that for myself and to not be afraid, to just get in there and give it all.

Best-Selling Novelist
Amy Tan: I reached a point where I had infuriated my mother so much we nearly killed each other. Literally. And I was sick to my stomach, literally. I had dry heaves, and the pain was so enormous that at one point, when I thought I was going to die, I just suddenly realized that that scared me. And it was scary to live but it was scarier to die. I remember just saying, "I want to live, I want to live, I want to live." Some strength -- it's hard to describe what it is, you know? You just start to pull through.

Amy Tan: I didn't fear failure. I expected failure. I think I've always been somebody, since the deaths of my father and brother, who was afraid to hope. So, I was more prepared for failure and for rejection than success. The success took me by surprise and it frightened me. On the day that there was a publication party for my book, I spent the whole day crying. I was scared out of my mind that my life was changing and it was out of my control and I didn't know why it was happening. I thought it would ruin things, because at that moment in my life I was fairly happy. I was getting along with my mother. My husband and I had been married for a long time, we were happy, we had our first house, we had great friends, we were doing well, we weren't starving. We had a comfortable living and I thought, "Things are going to get messed up here and I have no control over this." I could already see how people were treating me differently. That's the scary thing. You know, when people say, "How has success changed you?" you have to say, "No. How have people changed toward you as the result of success?" And "How have you dealt with that change in how people have changed toward you?" That's the most difficult thing.

4.21.03 Application to the Joint J.D./MBA Program A. Students enrolled in either the School of Management or the Law School may seek the assistance of the program advisors. Prospective students not currently enrolled at Capital University may request additional information about the joint degree program from either:
B. Persons who desire to enroll in the joint program should read thoroughly the relevant materials of both the Graduate Law Program and the School of Management prior to scheduling a conference with the joint program advisor in either school. A student already enrolled in one school should first talk with that school's advisor. C. Admission into the MBA program requires completing and filing its admissions application, together with the reported results of the GMAT, with the School of Management (SOM); the School of Management has indicated that it will also accept LSAT scores in lieu of GMAT scores for joint graduate program students; the LSAT must have been taken within five years of application to the joint degree program. Similarly, admission into either the LL.M or M.T. program requires completion and filing of the appropriate admissions application and other required documentation to the Graduate Law Programs Office. 1. The joint degree applicant must complete two applications, submit the required standardized test score to the School of Management, pay two application fees, and file the joint degree application with both programs. 2. Because each school admits students separately, admission into either program does not signify or predict admissibility into the other. D. A prospective student not already enrolled in either school may apply to both schools at the same time and so indicate by filing the joint student application with both schools. E. The student already enrolled in one program may apply for admission into the other program as outlined in the relevant admissions materials of each school and be considered a joint LL.M/MBA or MT/MBA student. Also a joint degree application must be filed with the Office of Admission of each school. 1. As indicated above, admission into one program does not signify admissibility into the other program. In order to be admitted into the second program the student will have to be in good standing in the first program and meet all admission requirements of the second program. However, a student who is near completion of one program, but who has not yet commenced the other program, may not be able to realize the full benefits of the joint degree program. 2. A current student in either program may apply to be a joint student by notifying the faculty advisor and registrar (Law School) or registrar (SOM) of the school in which the student is already enrolled, and then applying for admission to the other school. F. Occasionally an applicant to the joint LL.M/MBA program seeks to apply, as transfer credit, course work taken at a school other than Capital University. The School of Management accepts up to nine hours of transfer credit from another accredited MBA program (usually about three courses) and the Graduate Law Program accepts up to 6 credit hours of advanced taxation transfer credit from another accredited law program, which may only be applied to the LL.M in Taxation program. However, a course taken at another institution and accepted for transfer credit by SOM cannot be used to satisfy the nine credit hours that the Graduate Law Program accepts from SOM work for credit toward the LL.M degree. A course taken at another institution and accepted for transfer credit by the Graduate Law Program cannot be used to satisfy the nine credit hours that the School of Management accepts from the Graduate Law Program work for credit toward the MBA degree.

I designed some signage for the Brooklyn Cyclones' stadium on Coney Island. It was fun to do some research into the color schemes of New York baseball and Coney Island, plus I got to eat a candy apple every time I went to the stadium for a presentation!
My concept was based on a combination of the boardwalk signs filled with hundreds of lightbulbs, and the directional-looking baseball souvenir pennants.
I designed this exhibit as a pop-up marketplace to be located on the site of the demolished Thunderbolt rollercoaster on Coney Island. It takes the shape of a giant squid attacking the mainland!
The florist's storefront on Sesame Street needed some dressin' up, so I made this sticker for their window, along with some stickers for non-existent credit cards.
This lamp was made for a "found object" lamp project. The base is made from some oak that I found on the street, and the stem is the plastic part of a dried-out marker. I needed to get the bread clips through mail order, since I couldn't eat so much bread!
Well, this one was a challenge. I needed to make a pair of artificial hands shaped like beer cans. Also, the cans needed to be remotely filled with beer so that the actor could drink from them. Also, they needed to explode as if they were shot with a bullet. Also, they needed to spray fountains of blood.
I needed to cut the cans open so that I could fit a plastic tube that I could use for my pneumatic hardware. Also the finish needed to be sanded off of the cans so that new labels could be applied.
Jason Singleton helped me to rig these cans up to a couple of vegetable-sprayers (filled with alternately O'Doul's and fake blood) and lots and lots of pneumatic hose.
This foam sword pops out of a coffin and stabs someone! Since we couldn't fit a whole sword in a coffin, and we couldn't stab anyone for real, I made the sword in two halves.
The front half to pop out of the coffin (I rigged it to operate pneumatically,) and the hilt, which has a flat base to attach beneath a hole in the actor's clothes. The blade is made out of silver-painted foam, and I was able to get a serrated effect by wiggling the razor blade as I cut. The hilt was made out of a goofy old gold lame' belt, which I brushed with a light coat of brown acrylic paint.
I made this magically-opening walnut for the Adult Swim mini-series "The Heart, She Holler." It works in a way that is similar to the old springy toy animals made out of beads that droop when you press on their plastic base.
For my version, I made a new base out of plastic tube, springs, and washers. Next I carefully cut a walnut into quarters and made tiny wire hinges so that it would flop open when the spring was discreetly pressed. It is almost impossible to get the meat out of a walnut without breaking it, so I needed to epoxy mine back together!
Hello everyone!
I've been studying since this summer at F.I.T. in New York in the Exhibition design graduate program. Our first project was to design an exhibit centered around our favorite food. …I don't really have a favorite, so I chose Funnel Cake – that sloppy mess of fried dough and confectioner's sugar that is served at fairs and amusement parks in the summertime.
My design features doughy walls, a funnel-shaped slide that lands in fake sizzling oil, and walls that need to be ripped apart (just like a funnel cake needs to be ripped apart!)
I'm posting my presentation pages. Sorry if this is more funnel cake than you can handle!

Dr. Lauren Layer is a resident in radiation oncology. She completed undergraduate training at The University of Texas in Austin, Texas obtaining a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. She went on to the University of Texas Medical Branch where she completed medical school followed by a 1 year internship at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. She also completed 1 year of residency training in Radiology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York before joining the UTMB radiation oncology training program in 2011.
Residency Program
The residency training program at UTMB offers many unique training opportunities to prepare its graduates for a career in Radiation Oncology, either in academics or private practice. Residents gain exposure through rotations with various faculty in their areas of expertise. The resident has ample opportunity to exercise increasing independence in clinical decision making as they progress through the program culminating in a senior service that provides significant autonomy with adequate supervision. Technically, residents are exposed to a broad spectrum of modern radiotherapy techniques including Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy.
The program, through a number of unique arrangements, allows contact with patients in a number of clinical settings including our large tertiary referral campus in Galveston in addition to community oriented hospitals within the Houston city limits. More recently, we have developed an arrangement for our residents to spend a sizable block of time rotating at M.D. Anderson to gain additional exposure to pediatric patients and techniques such as proton therapy.
Recognizing the balancing act required of a resident, providing high quality patient care while continuing academic endeavors, we provide our residents with protected educational time. Residents take part in didactics by both the physics and radiobiology staff associated with the program. Residents and clinical faculty prepare didactics for the group and participate in new patient conferences, journal club and morbidity and mortality conferences at regular intervals. We believe this protected time is necessary for the residents to master the complexity of the field.
Residents have opportunities to participate in multi-disciplinary tumor boards in all disease areas to learn the intricacies of the multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care that has become so critical in our field. There is an opportunity for residents to partake in clinical and translational research projects. Submission of research to national meetings such as those sponsored by The American Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), The American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO), The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and others are highly encouraged and monies to attend such events are available to present such work.
Outside the clinic, residents find the area to be quite enjoyable. The cost of living in the Galveston Area is relatively affordable. The climate is mild through most of the year, while the summers are typical for southern Gulf States. The sandy beaches are not far from the campus and cruise ships depart regularly from Galveston Island. Galveston offers numerous opportunities for those who love the outdoors and watersports. Houston is only 45 minutes from downtown Galveston offering an array of local and international events expected of the fourth largest city in the U.S.

Today's organisations typically have a large number of experienced application developers using a variety of component development languages. They want to exploit the full power of SAS on the server when running their applications against enterprise data. But they want to do this transparently through the native environment in which they are working.
For IT managers, this poses the challenge of creating an IT platform that supports a wide variety of software products and solutions. One that shields developers and users from the incompatibility issues caused by the wide variety of systems present in any large enterprise, saving them time and effort.
SAS Integration Technologies brings your organisation together by laying a foundation for standardised communications and effective information distribution. SAS Integration Technologies enables you to integrate all of your disparate technologies into a seamless whole by providing support for industry standards and a robust information delivery architecture. It supports standard industry technologies including component architecture (COM, DCOM, CORBA), third party messaging software (such as IBM Websphere MQ (formally MQSeries) and Microsoft MSMQ) and open enterprise directory standards (LDAP).
Ultimately the goal is simply to get the right information to the right people at the right time, so they can make informed decisions. SAS is committed to ensure this happens in all new industry standard environments.
Support for open clients
"This means that applications developed in languages such as C++, Java, Microsoft VB.NET and other languages that support distributed object programming can easily leverage SAS' rich feature set and its ability to access a wide variety of data. Programmers can of course also develop applications in this way with WebAF, the Java IDE supplied with the SAS AppDev Studio development environment."
The SAS Integrated Object Model (IOM)
SAS works seamlessly with distributed object standards through a set of standard, well-defined interfaces known as the SAS Integrated Object Model:
The SAS IOM interface enables open clients to communicate with SAS and surface its functionality without needing to know how SAS itself works.
The IOM object interface can also be extended to include interfaces written using the SAS/AF Source Component Language (SCL), enabling application developers to convert existing applications to services that can be exploited by Open Clients.
SAS Integration Technologies facilitates client/server communication across multiple vendor architectures by supporting multiple client/server interoperability standards. It does this through a powerful capability not commonly found in other distributed object environments, known as the IOM Bridge. The IOM Bridge means you can access SAS servers transparently across a range of enterprise computing platforms.
"SAS Integration Technologies extend the value of an organisation's investment in SAS solutions and in other programming investments," says Rankcom. "It reduces the cost of developing, deploying and maintaining enterprise applications, and it gives even greater flexibility to deliver quality information to the right people at the right time."

A water tank truck in Jordan, April 1, 2010. Future water availability in arid regions may be assessed by considering key projects that have been identified or planned by regional experts, such as desalination plants.

"Assessing Future Water Availability in Arid Regions Using Composition and Salience of Decision Criteria"
ESD Working Paper Series
Working Paper 2014-10, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
March 2014
Authors: Afreen Siddiqi, Visiting Scholar, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program, Farah Ereiqat, Laura Diaz Anadon, Associate, Environment and Natural Resources Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Energy Technology Innovation Policy; Environment and Natural Resources; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Paper submitted for CESUN 2014 Fourth International Engineering Systems Symposium to be held June 811, 2014 at Stevens Institute of Technology.
Water resources development options are usually selected on a least-cost basis. While economic considerations are dominant in choosing projects, there are also a mix of other factors including social demands, political expediency, social equity, and environmental considerations that impact final decisions and development of water supply systems. Understanding local priorities in water resource management decisions can allow for forming expectations of future regional water availability. In this research, we propose that future water availability in arid regions may be assessed by considering key projects that have been identified or planned by regional experts. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis methods as a framework to organize set of decision criteria and their relative salience, the likelihood of selection (and development) of a project can be determined and used to form expectations of future regional water availability. We use this approach in a case study for Jordan, and find that large-scale desalination projects that have been in the planning books for decades are now most likely to be pursued and implemented in the country. Finally, we discuss strengths, limitations, and the general applicability of this method for assessing future water availability in other arid regions.

well hmmm
You Rip the iso off it
then open it up in wxPrx (somehting like that)
Read the title. How do i do that? I would like to see the files on one of my original xbox 360 games.
well hmmm
You Rip the iso off it
then open it up in wxPrx (somehting like that)
u need a jtagNeeded Tools:
* XBox 360 w/ XTreme Firmware Update
* DVD+R Dual Layered Blank DVD
* Burner Capable Of Burning Dual Layered DVDs
* CloneCD
* XBOX360 SS Merger 1.5o from here.
First your going to download your games from wherever you get your stuff. I personally use newsgroups, it seems to be the fastest and most reliable source for getting anything. You need to check the game first to see what kind of rip it is. Straight rips of the games don't work yet so you need to find the ones that can be patched, or if your lucky already patched. This tutorial will show you how to patch the games if needed. The easiest way to check what kinda rip is to check the .nfo file that comes with almost every game.
Types Of Rips:
-Straight Rips: At this time these are impossible to do anything with. I group by the name of Pi has been releasing these lately. They are of no use at the current time though.
-Xtreme Rips (Not Patched): These are good rips that just need to be patched with the correct .bin file. I'll explain where to get these, and how to patch the files. After patched you can then burn it and it'll boot no problem.
-Xtreme Rips (Pre Patched): These files are the easiest to use, they come in .rar format like both other rips, the difference is you just have to unrar and burn. No patching required. This is the fastest way.
Note: Skip to step 2 if you have a prepatched iso.
1. Your going to have to patch the game to work correctly, without a patch the XBox360 won't know how to handle the game. Your going to need XBOX360 SS Merger 1.5o to do this. Open the program and load your iso. When it asks to check the MD5 hit yes, it'll take a few minutes, its a pretty big file.It will then produce an MD5 number for you. You want to load your ss.bin file that came with the game, if it didnt come with the game visit xbox360 bin files xbox games at ubclass.org to get the ss.bin file you need. Load the file.If both boxes are green and the numbers match, that is the correct file you need to patch. Hit the big huge button on the right side of the program to patch the file. Again, this will take a few minutes, it's a huge file.It will then tell you it's finish and you can load the file that it outputs.
2. Open up Clone CD, anything above version 5 should work. Simply hit the second button to open and image file and select your new iso. It should load without problem. You will need a dual layered DVD+R to burn, your 360 won't read any other format correctly. Also, make sure you burn at 2x or close as possible so your game is readable and doesn't skip. This is very important.
3. Put the game in your XBox360 and enjoy. You can even play on XBox Live without a single problem.
oh thanks. I was trying like crazy to find out how to see the files on the disc. I was wondering how the files are actually protected that they cannot be seen...
If you want to actually tinker with the files then a Jtag is mandatory though if you just want to play burned games then a flashed drive would also work. Though it looks like you just wanted to see the signed code by Microsoft.
PS3: 80GB BC Firmware: 3.55NFWv3 Cobra Edition
360: 120GB No modifications.
hello (i know i know a HORRIBLE BUMP) but well, I want to develop games ( I currently use UDK and Blender, with Max for some of the work) but I was wanting to open the Xbox games FILES on my computer, basically so I can look at their coding, and learn from it (purely educational) I dont want to make burned copys, I dont want to be able to play them, but Im sure I would be able to open the files, if I could only SEE them, which I believe means they are hidden within the ISO, so maybe theres some way to view the files on a comp? just so I can look at how they made stuff, what programs they used, and the general coding in the game?
They are loads of videos on YouTube on how to rip an ISO of your game, here is a good one that should get you started:
When you have your ISO you can open it up in wx360 and extract the contents.
Have a question or need help? Post on the forum, thats why it's here.
I will only reply to Digiex related issues via PM, not general help requests.

Took up triathlon in 2002 when my horse got injured and I needed to get rid of excess energy. And then I got stuck into it and decided to found out if I ever would be able to compete at an international level. Without a swim background learning how to swim freestyle was a big challange(and still is today). I grew up in a medium sized swedish town where I graduated from High School. The same year I went down under to Sydney as a "year off" before starting UNI. I thought triathlon would be a great thing to do as a break from the studying. My mum worked in Sydney for two years which made it possible for me to live down here. After 7 months I came back to europe but decided to do another block of 6 months. And that followed by a third 3 months trip down this year. So for three years now I have lived in a constant summer, which I really don't have any complaints about….

The sight of dancing rabbis on television has always been slightly funny -- if not "ha-ha" funny, then a "that's kind of interesting" kind of funny.
But this year's 26th annual Chabad "To Life" telethon on Sept. 10 hopes to offer some real laughs, with host entertainer Shelley Berman (whose credits stretch from "The Ed Sullivan Show" to "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Boston Legal") and co-host comedian Elon Gold ("Stacked," "The In-Laws").
Why did Chabad get these two entertainers to host the six-hour show?
Last year, semi-regular host Jon Voight had to opt out because he was filming two movies, so Dennis Prager hosted (Prager and Voight both will be in attendance this year). Berman and Gold both appeared on the telecast and impressed the hosts.
"Last year we were very moved and inspired by the story [Shelley] told about his own son, who had unfortunately passed away just before his bar mitzvah and how Chabad was there at this time for him," said Rabbi Chaim Cunin, public relations director for West Coast Chabad. Over the years, Berman became more involved with Chabad, even hosting a seder at the Malibu center, so they asked if he'd host the telethon. "He just turned 80, and we asked if he had the koach for it," said Cunin, using the Hebrew word for strength.
"I could stand 24-hours for Chabad," Berman told the rabbi.
Berman's dedication notwithstanding, producers also decided to bring in Gold, 35, to co-host the live fundraiser.
"Elon will bring a nice fresh face to the telethon," Cunin said.
"We're going to add some fun and funny to it," Gold told The Journal. He is hoping to bring some of his "J-list" (Jewish celeb friends) and, this being Hollywood, he can't confirm anyone, but he's put in calls to Josh Malina, Jonathan Silverman and Bob Saget.
"I want to make it more of a fun, hip, Hollywood kind of thing," Gold said. The Hollywood kind of thing to Gold means him doing some of his bit, and adding some new jokes to it, such as:
- The Chabad Telethon -- the only telethon where you can't spot Matisyahu in the crowd.
- The Chabad Telethon -- the only telethon where men dancing with each other doesn't raise eyebrows -- it raises money.
- The Chabad Telethon -- the only telethon that God TiVos.
Gold, who just sold a TV pilot and is still doing stand-up, is planning to add skits and bits to the telethon, like going into the studio audience or onto the street asking people to empty their pockets, or maybe playing a little celebrity poker on the side to raise money for Chabad.
In the past, "To Life" has raised upward of $6.5 million annually to support West Coast Chabad's 200 centers, its schools and programs on the West Coast, including a much-touted drug rehab center.
This year's broadcast will include appearances by James Caan, Keith David, Emilio Estevez, Craig Ferguson, Elliott Gould and Regis Philbin, as well as community leaders including Los Angeles' Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Sheriff Lee Baca and City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and John Fishel, president of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, will also appear.
The broadcast will include a tribute to the comedian and TV star Jan Murray, who passed away in July. Murray helped launch the telethon in 1980 with his friend, Carroll O'Connor, and continued to serve as its host through 1996.
On a rare serious note, Gold says he's hosting because Chabad is an amazing organization.
"I love Chabad, because anytime as a comedian I'm touring at a strange city, I always have place to go to shul and to have a nice Friday night meal, warm family company, and that's amazing thing, in addition to everything else they do. I need them spiritually, and they're always there for me."
The Chabad "To Life" Telethon can be seen on a live Web cast at www.ToLife.com, and will also run on the following TV stations: Los Angeles: KCAL Channel 9; San Diego: KUSI Channel 9; San Francisco: KTSF Channel 26; Las Vegas: KVMY Channel 12; New York/New Jersey/Connecticut: WLNY Channel 55; Nationwide: Dish Network 9601

At the Battle of Fredericksburg, Adjutant Evan Morrison Woodward is credited to have captured the Battle Flag of the 19th Georgia Infantry. As related in the story below, from Breakthrough! The Pennsylvania Reserves at Fredericksburg":
Parts of the Federal units splintering in the woods followed Adjutant Evan M. Woodward as he headed south along the ridge top. Woodward broke off from the rest of the 2nd Reserves and pushed toward the Southerners harassing Jackson's Third Brigade. Woodward picked up elements of the 11th Reserves and smashed into the Confederate brigade of James J. Archer. Locking onto the Southerners' exposed left flank, Woodward's men fired down the length of the Confederate earthworks. Woodward's group closed across the rear of their enemy while portions of the 7th Reserves, 5th Reserves, and the Bucktails hammered the works from the slope of the hill in front. Evan Woodward realized that the Federals had crossed their fire and he started taking casualties from friendly bluecoats. Running ahead, Woodward dove into the Confederate trench. Surrounded by over a hundred Southerners, Woodward asked them if they cared to surrender. They answered, "We will surrender, if you will let us." Quieting the fire, Woodward removed his prisoners down the hill and secured the battle flag of the 19th Georgia-the only Confederate flag captured at Fredericksburg. Woodward refused to leave the front with his trophies so he detached Charles Upjohn to carry the flag to the rear. When Upjohn fell wounded, Jacob Cart of the 7th Reserves took the flag. The Congress rewarded Cart with the Medal of Honor. Thirty years later, a Medal of Honor was bestowed on Woodward as well.

Both North and South Lake Tahoe are easily accessible via car, train, bus, and plane.
The North and South shores of Lake Tahoe are easily accessible by car. North Lake Tahoe is serviced by Amtrak's California Zephyr Train and bus service is available from the Bay Area to South Lake Tahoe. Reno and Sacramento International Airports are your best bet for commercial flights. Several airport shuttle options are available. Once in town, both the South and North shores are serviced by several public bus lines.
DrivingBoth South and North Lake are accessible by car.
- From Sacramento - To get to South Lake Tahoe from the west take US-50 for approximately 100 miles until you reach South Lake.
- From Reno - Take I-580/US-395 South towards Carson City. Follow 395 for approximately 36 miles, always heading towards Virginia City/Carson City/South Lake Tahoe. Then merge on US-50 W and continue on for approximately 27 miles into South Lake.
- North Lake Tahoe from South Lake Tahoe - From South Lake you'll head out of town on US-50\South Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Continue on this road for approximately 15 miles, where you'll turn left at NV-28. Follow this around until you reach your desired location. Also, taking CA-89 around the western shore is another option, but this road is not as well maintained, and maybe closed seasonally.
- Reno International Airport (RNO) - Reno International Airport, approximately an hour and a half north of South Lake, is the Tahoe's closest airport. The airport is serviced by Alaska, Horizon, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, United, US Airways, and Allegiant Air charter flights.
- Sacramento International Airport (SMF) - If you can't catch a flight in to RNO, Sacramento International is your best bet at approximately two hours west of South Lake Tahoe. The airport is serviced by Delta, Hawaiian, Southwest, US Airways, Alaska, American Airlines, Continental, Frontier, Horizon Air, JetBlue and United Airlines.
Car Rentals
Car rentals are widely available in the Lake Tahoe Area, including at both Reno and Sacramento International Airports, in town in South and North Lake Tahoe, and in the surrounding communities such as Carson City and Truckee. If you want the freedom to explore Tahoe at your own pace, it's a good idea to rent a car.
- Airport Shuttles - South and North Lake Tahoe Express provide a shuttle service between the airport and many of the area resorts.
- Free Shuttles - Many area resorts and casinos will provide free shuttle service to guests from Reno International. A few provide free shuttles from Sacramento.
Public Buses
- Tahoe Area Regional Transit (TART) - The TART public bus services North Lake Tahoe. The bus runs 7 days a week from 6am to 7pm. Stops are available throughout town, just look for the TART signs on the side of the road. Connections are available to both the Greyhound and Amtrak stations at the Truckee Depot. Ski racks are available during the winter, and bike racks are available during the summer.
- BlueGo - BlueGo offers a variety of ski shuttles, OnCall buses, trolleys, and bus services throughout South Lake Tahoe. The busses operate 24 hours a day ,7 days a week, with lead times ranging from 20 to 60 minutes. Stops are available around town, and by reservation.
- Bay Area Ski Bus - The Bay Area Ski Bus shuttles mountain-goers between the bay area and many popular Tahoe area resorts. Trips are available to Tahoe 3-4 days per week and destinations change depending on the day. Tickets prices vary depending on the day's destination and include your bus ticket, lift ticket, continental breakfast, and after-ski snacks.

I decided to learn a new form of social media and create a Vine video about Bernice, the butternut squash, who is a very good friend to Sophie in my new picture book SOPHIE'S SQUASH (Schwartz & Wade, 2013).
Vine videos are six-second videos, usually shot with a smart phone, that loop continuously. Here's how Bernice got her moment in the spotlight.

re: clark kent
It;'s true that medicine was free in the Soviet union. IF you could get it. When I was in college taking a ruskiy course just prior to fall of the Soviet Empire, the Russians had collaborated with the BBC in a teaching video for the Russian language. It was funny but tragic, because the Soviets tried to out a good face on it, but one of the characters was a doctor and it would be impossible not to notice the equipment was 1920s to 1950s. She took a guys pulse with an egg timer because she couldn't get a watch. Now, if you were among the 11% of the Communist Party, then you would get the best western medicine had to offer. If you were the 89%, you'd best hope you didn't get sick because most medications were not available.
Cuba's not much different. You get all the free health care you can get and people drop like flies because they can't even get what we would call routine immunizations. Malnutrition is rampant. So is obesity, because the one thing people have is starch. No vitamins or protein to speak of, but starch, so they fill up on what is available.
The east didn't have any sort of environmental controls. Carrots had to be screened for lead before kids could eat them. The Poles had a joke that if you boiled down a ton of cabbage, you got a cannonball. There was a 7,000 mile long cloud of industrial pollution, unaffectionately called "the brown cloud" stretching from European Russia all the way to Alaska. People had lung diseases from asbestos, cadmium, lead, iron dusts, coal dusts, sulfur dioxide, and other nasties from no pollution controls.
Elbonian capitalist sign-painters seem to be making out like bandits (or they would be if there were anything to steal)….
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned North Korea… with the enormous military and near famine… or Vietnam… just don't ask what happened to the Montagnard tribes people.
The Hmong suffered a similar fate in Vietnam and Laos. :(
This was obviously before Adams created the lookalike, black-bearded Elbonians.

So is obesity, because the one thing people have is starch. No vitamins or protein to speak of, but starch, so they fill up on what is available.
You might want to do a bit more research on the Cuban health care system. Their life expectancy is statistically equivalent to the US (depending on the source if information, they are slightly better), yet they spend less than 10% per person compared to what we pay here in the US. And … every individual is covered in the entire country, unlike the US where 40+ million people are still uncovered or undercovered.
Drop like flies??? Hardly.
Actually… Elbonia represents the ultimate dream of 'progressives' (as communists used to call themselves) and the antithesis of capitalism… I believe it is the Progressive Party with centrally controlled economics that is heading towards Elbonia
Thank you I could not think of many better defences for the EPA. Thank you for your reality revelations.
And the data on Cuban health comes from where? Cuba like Lake Wobegon where all the children in fact everyone is above average.
The Hmong helped the enemy of communism, (us), they were considered treasonous.
Nuns! Reverse! Reverse!
Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt.
