Dedupe Goes Mainstream
Data deduplication adoption is on the rise, according to our 2012 InformationWeek Data Deduplication Survey. Forty-six percent of respondents have deduplication technology in limited or wide production use in their environments, a solid increase from 37% in last year's survey. However, that rise also seems to be tempered by a growing recognition of deduplication's limits.
For instance, while respondents who are using the technology are generally seeing respectable compression ratios, the number of respondents who got stellar results last year (30-to-1 or better) have dropped from 20% to just 11% this year.
Our survey also shows that it's taking some IT shops longer to see a return on investment than in previous surveys. For instance, 36% achieved ROI on their deduplication purchase in seven to 12 months last year. This year, that number is down to 26%. Meanwhile, respondents who say it takes more than a year to see an ROI rose from 11% last year to 21% this year.
Satisfaction with dedupe technology is also less enthusiastic. For instance, while overall satisfaction numbers held fairly steady (72% are satisfied or very satisfied this year, vs. 74% last year), a greater percentage of respondents was very satisfied last year than this: 30% in our 2011 report vs. 22% in our 2012 report.
Is the bloom off the rose of deduplication? Not necessarily. We believe it's more an effect of market maturation and increased deployment. For one thing, the technology is moving out of the hands of enthusiastic early adopters and into the general IT population. For another, as deduplication moves beyond its sweet spot of backup and archive, where duplicate data abound, it gets applied to use cases where fewer identical data chunks exist. This will contribute to a decrease in compression ratios, which in turn may affect IT's attitude toward the technology.
In other words, deduplication performs as advertised, but it's also just one tool among many. IT must manage its expectations around deduplication by understanding its ideal deployments as well as its limitations. That's a sure sign of maturity. (R3601111)
Survey Name: InformationWeek 2012 Data Deduplication Survey
Survey Date: September 2011
Region: North America
Number of Respondents: 209 business technology professionals
Purpose: To determine the state of deduplication product adoption

Microsoft, Vodafone, Apple: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Microsoft(MSFT) was a big loser in premarket trading on Tuesday after the software maker announced the departure of Windows and Windows Live President Steve Sinofsky.
Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering, according to a statement released late on Monday by the tech behemoth. Microsoft CFO and CMO Tami Reller will retain her existing roles, but assume responsibility for the business of Windows.
Investors were unimpressed by the news, which came hot on the heels of comments from CEO Steve Ballmer about the 'modest' debut of the company's new Surface tablets. Microsoft shares dipped 2.97% to $27.16 in premarket trading on Tuesday. The software giant was also the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 1,731,582.
Vodafone(VOD) shares tumbled 3.9% to $25.36 after the British telecom giant announced results for the six months ended Sept. 30, taking 5.9 billion pounds ($9.38 billion) of impairments for its operations in Spain and Italy. The company cited "challenging market conditions and changes to discount rates" for the write-down in a statement released early on Tuesday.
Vodafone reported a loss of 1.89 billion pounds ($3 billion) for the period.
Late on Monday, Verizon Wireless, the joint venture of Verizon Communications(VZ) and Vodafone, announced an $8.5 billion dividend to its co-owners, which will be paid by year-end. Vodafone own 45% of Verizon Wireless, and will collect just over $3.8 billion from the distribution, with Verizon Communications taking the remainder.
Verizon Communications shares rose 0.94% to $42.96 in premarket trading.
Facebook(FB) was a loser before market open, slipping 1.35% to $19.8.
Shares of Apple(AAPL) , which recently came to terms with Taiwanese handset maker HTC over patent litigation, dipped 0.42% to $540.55 before market open.
Cisco(CSCO) , which reports its fiscal first-quarter results after market close, was flat at $16.85.
TheStreet will be live-blogging Cisco's results, starting at 3:45 p.m. EST.

DPF points to a spate of anti-Shearer posts on the Standard and concludes:
While each is by a different author, I have been around politics far too long to think for a second that this is not part of a co-ordinated strategy to destabilise Shearer in the leadup to the Labour conference.
Well, maybe. If there's a blog-based anti-Shearer putsch then nobody told me. It could just be that loads of people on the left don't think Shearer is a very good leader, and the week before his conference is a salient time to point that out.
Anyway, team Shearer has been talking up his up-coming speech at the conference as a make-or-break moment for him. If Shearer's speech does bomb it won't be the first time his team over-promised and under-delivered on a speech by this leader. But even if he exceeds expectations, all it'll prove is that as opposition leader he has the luxury to get a week of media coaching and outsource his speech-writing to a professional. Being Prime Minister is a more improvisational and reactive job.
That's why I think the best thing Shearer could do for his leadership is perform well on the week leading up to his conference. This means coherent, articulate interviews on Morning Report that set the news agenda for the day. That means getting into the top stories on TVNZ and TV3 news and delivering strong quotes that hurt the government and advocate for Labour policy and values. It means moving on from his pointless 'gotcha' questions in the House and holding the PM to account. Shearer needs to show he can 'win the day' consistently, not just win one speech a year.

|What goes with BBQ besides Babaresco? How about a little 1990 Ridge Montebello for starters?
The idea for the week was for Aldo to come into Texas and swing his way from Dallas through Austin (right smack dab in the middle of SXSW) and ending up in Houston. By now he is readying to go to Colorado, but an intense few days it has been for one of the hardiest working men in the wine business.

And as in the case with any leftover greens, my son took the remainder home, presumably to share with his gorgeous lady. I'm sure she went after the casserole, as Rafael usually doesn't like to share his veggies. Really love that guy. My spinach-loving son.
|Michael Flynn and Brad Murano - boy's night off
Guests David and Jennifer Uyger ( who actually had a day off) brought their calm and bubbly sides too as well as a delicioso hunk of homemade salumi to go with the Barbaresco. I know it's a cliché but, Good Times!
The Jar and his lovely wife Tracie also drove up from the SXSW madness to hang and bring their special brand of music. Jeremy is working on top-secret music project right now, believe me he'll tell you all about it in due time. And Tracie, well she didn't have to cook or drive or worry about any little thang. Just kicked back and enjoyed the evening. I had to stop her a couple of times from trying to clean the dishes. Once Jeremy started the guitar medley, people got into the music and we sailed right into the sunset on a Sunday evening. Things do sometimes have a way of working out.
Thanks everybody for a memorable couple of days. It was awesome. Buon lavoro, Aldo, grazie 1000! See you next month in Italy.

True Religion Finds Savior in $835M TowerBrook Buyout
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- High-end jeans and clothing chain True Religion
Were TrueReligion shareholders to accept Friday's takeover offer, the company will fall into the hands of a PE firm with experience in the high-end retail industry.
TowerBrook has owned apparel brands such as Jimmy Choo, Odlo, BevMo! And Phase Eight, the fund said in a statement.
"We are excited to combine our retail and apparel expertise with Lynne (Koplin) and the True Religion team to help the company with brand building and international opportunities," Andrew Rolfe, a TowerBrook executive, said in a statement.
While TowerBrook expects to be able to grow True Religion internationally, the deal comes amid declining profitability for the company and a competitive retail and apparel marketplace. In October, True Religion hired bankers to seek strategic alternatives or a sale of the company.
Weak earnings midway through 2012 pushed True Religion shares lower by 50% at some points in the year, however, Friday's deal means shareholders are getting a proposed payout about 20% above year-ago share prices.
True Religion shares gained more than 7% in early Friday trading to $31.58, just below TowerBrook's offer price.
"After a thorough review of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, we are pleased to reach this agreement, which provides our shareholders with immediate and substantial cash value representing a significant premium," said Seth Johnson, lead director of True Religion, in a statement." Having considered alternatives over a seven month period, the Special Committee believes TowerBrook's $32.00 per share cash offer for the Company is in the best interest of our shareholders."
"TowerBrook's investment is an important endorsement of the True Religion brand, its prospects and the hard work and commitment of our team," Lynne Koplin, TrueReligion's interim chief executive, said in a statement Friday.
"At this critical inflection point in our business, global growth and product development effort, TowerBrook's support and experience will be a true differentiator."
Friday's offer of $32 a share represents a premium of approximately 52% to True Religion's share price on Oct. 9, 2012, the day before the company announced it had begun to explore strategic alternatives.

Trip Page | Interactive Travel Map
On December 8, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited The Hague, the Netherlands, where she delivered the keynote address at the opening of a ministerial conference on Internet freedom that launched a cross-regional, multi-stakeholder coalition committed to promoting the freedoms of expression, association, and assembly online. Secretary Clinton also met with Dutch Foreign Minister Uriel Rosenthal. In remarks with Foreign Minister Rosenthal at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Secretary Clinton said:
"...I'm always delighted to be back in the Netherlands and to be here in The Hague. And I want to thank you for many things. Our two countries have such a strong, close relationship. We work together on issues that span the globe, from the Middle East to Afghanistan, Iran, counterterrorism, global economic governance, humanitarian assistance, and so much more.
"This conference on internet freedom is another example of your leadership, and we particularly applaud it for all the reasons that you just mentioned. This is one of the defining issues of our time. Countries like the United States and the Netherlands have fought for centuries for free speech, the freedom of assembly and association, the freedom of religion, and all the other freedoms and rights that we hold dear and that we believe are universal -- they're not Dutch, they're not American, they're not Western. And as we look now at the challenges to a free and accessible internet that are popping up around the world, it's particularly timely that you would hold this conference here in The Hague, because it reflects your values but also your extraordinary determination to lead in areas that are going to affect the world for years to come.
"I'm honored to be here to deliver a speech that outlines some of the concerns we have. As you know, I made internet freedom one of the cornerstones of American foreign policy. I am personally passionate about it, because, to me, it's the same as the fights we have waged around the world when people are persecuted for speaking their minds or for gathering in basements or around corners to talk about what they hoped for their own lives and were brutally abused and persecuted. So now we have to protect those -- which is most of humanity -- that use the internet for communication."

Jaguars pull away from Bobcats
For an underdog to pull off the upset on the football field, they usually have to play a perfect game, take advantage of their opportunities and not turn the ball over.
The Marshalltown Bobcats had plenty of chances to put Ankeny Centennial away Friday night but failed to cash in on the scoreboard during a 50-14 loss at Leonard Cole Field in a Class 4A Division 3 contest.
The Bobcats trailed 7-6 early in the second quarter and had the ball two different times with the chance to take the lead but punted and threw an interception in the end zone on their two chances.
That allowed the Jaguars to get their offense moving and Centennial (4-3, 2-1) finished with 516 total yards in the victory. The Bobcats trailed 17-6 at the break but got outscored 33-8 in the second half.
"Good teams score and take advantage of their opportunities and turn turnovers into points. We weren't able to do that and they were," MHS coach Aaron Shipley said. "If you are looking to build any kind of momentum, you have to do those things. That was the difference in the game."
The Bobcats have begun the season with seven straight losses. The last time Marshalltown was 0-7 to start a year was when it finished 1-8 in 1988. The Bobcats were 0-9 in back-to-back seasons in 1984 and 1985 and also finished 1-8 in 2000. Those are the only four seasons Marshalltown has won one game or fewer since 1970.
Mason City, the Bobcats' next opponent, came into this week with just one win but are now 2-5 after blowing out Des Moines Hoover on Friday.
"They are a good team," Shipley said of the Mohawks. "They are not typically known to be a spread team like they are doing this year. They line up in four- and five-wide and throw it all over the yard this season."
Against Centennial, Marshalltown had to feel good about its start. The Bobcats forced the Jaguars to punt on their first possession and trailed Centennial 7-6 after eight total possessions.
The Bobcats cracked the scoreboard when Dylan Diveney found Austin Sowers in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 10. The drive covered 68 yards and featured a fake punt that resulted in a 42-yard gain by Diveney.
Centennial fumbled away its next two possessions, but MHS gained just one first down on the ensuing possessions and ended the second drive with a Diveney interception in the end zone.
"He was trying to make a play there," Shipley said of Diveney. "He is trying so hard to get us points but should have made a better decision with that one."
The Jaguars did not take long to capitalize on the Bobcat mistake. Jackson Dobesh went 11 yards on the first play and then two plays later – and after two straight offsides penalties by the Bobcats – Centennial made it 14-6 with a 56-yard pass from Isaiah Kramme to Brent Jones.
Kramme threw for 216 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a second TD in the win. Jones had 147 yards and one score on five catches to lead the offense.
"We forced them into the passing game a little bit," said Shipley. "We wanted to do whatever we could to stop the run, and we knew that that might open up the passing game a little bit. We thought we could overcome that, but we obviously didn't do that. They made some big plays and beat our guys in space."
Austin Kluver had a 25-yard reception on the Bobcats' next possession but the drive stalled with another turnover. This time, Centennial junior Cale Anselme picked off Diveney in Bobcat territory.
Heath Naylor eventually finished off the drive with a 24-yard field goal, and that gave the visitors a 17-6 lead at intermission.
"We knew that we left some points out there, but our kids knew this was a team that we felt like we could compete with," Shipley said.
Unfortunately for the Bobcats, the Jaguars turned up the intensity in the final two quarters. Centennial scored the first 20 points of the second half and pulled away for an easy win.
Dobesh made it 24-6 with a 40-yard touchdown run before John Ware returned a blocked punt 15 yards for the score. Those two touchdowns came just more than a minute apart. Dobesh added a 14-yard run 6 minutes later to make it 37-6 after three quarters. Dobesh's second touchdown was aided by a 46-yard run from Bryce Evans, who had 90 yards on four carries in the win.
Dobesh finished with 111 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries. The Jaguars ran 43 times for 300 yards in the game and threw for another 216.
"With an offense like Ankeny that is designed to wear you down, those two and three yard gains turned into six and seven yard gains in the second half," Shipley said. "They wore us down and took advantage of their depth."
The Bobcats lit up the scoreboard for a second time early in the fourth quarter when Diveney got into space and rumbled down the visitor's sideline for a 34-yard touchdown. The senior Bobcat rushed 15 times for 89 yards and threw for 94 more yards in the loss.
"He's a great athlete, and we have been trying all year to get him in space," Shipley said. "Our offense is designed to put the ball into his hands. We'll keep trying to do that because when we do, good things happen."
The momentum for Marshalltown was short-lived though. The Jaguars extended their lead to 29 points when Chris Frazier took the ensuing kickoff back 93 yards for the score. That has been the story of the Bobcats' season.
"It seems almost inevitable that whenever we get something good going, we almost expect something bad to happen," said Shipley. "I think that's a really dangerous thing. When things go bad it starts to compound into more bad things. We need to find a way to eliminate that, and as soon as we can do that, we can talk about really getting over the hump."
Tyler Pagliai added a 4-yard touchdown run in the final minute to get to the final outcome. The Jaguars overcame their two fumbles and 10 penalties because they converted 6-of-10 on third down, scored twice on special teams and outgained the Bobcats 516-198 in total yards.
The Mason City game Friday also will be played at Leonard Cole Field and will kick off at 7 p.m. The Mohawks beat Hoover 47-7 on Friday for their second straight win. … Shipley moved defensive starters Blair Van Staalduine and Jordan Paone to wide receiver this week to provide a punch on the offensive side of the ball. Van Staalduine had a 5-yard reception in the second half and also had six tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack on defense. … Sophomore tailback Joe Rebik missed the game after suffering a concussion earlier in the week. … Kluver gained 41 yards on three catches to lead the receivers, while Sowers had 29 yards on four catches. Luke Severson recorded two catches for 20 yards as well. … Eight different Jaguars rushed the ball Friday. Kramme's 10 completions through the air were to four different receivers. … Derek Mann came into the game leading Class 4A in tackles with 80. He finished with eight on Friday, while Austin Lovin recorded 6.5.

Sometimes it can seem like there are a lot of shady characters and fly-by-night companies in the contracting industry. Many less-than-reputable contractors are willing to take full advantage of homeowners' relative ignorance of the often complicated and detailed elements of construction work. Many will seek to rush and even bully homeowners into pricy renovations and additions without giving the customer a complete idea of the work that will be involved, or the real costs involved.
At J K White Construction, we're devoted to the dream of taking the con out of contracting. We like to think of our business as an open book, and we invite our customer's to read every word. We provide honest and detailed estimates and consultations that are designed to give the customer the fullest possible picture of everything involved in making their renovation and construction dreams a reality. And we work hard to keep the customer informed of changes and new developments as they happen. Plus, our owner is on-site at every job, ensuring that you can always speak to the man in charge if you have any questions or concerns.
Of course, taking the con out of contracting means a lot more than just ensuring that our client's are well-informed – it also means that we strive to do our best with every job, taking care that every technical and aesthetic element of a job is seen to properly. With 30 years of experience – 15 in new construction and 15 in remodeling – we've developed a complete awareness of the difficulties and joys of construction work. We're working on your home – and we want to ensure that it remains your castle, a place of security and beauty designed to last for generations to come.
We are fully insured (500k) and bonded (Summit County, Akron) for your protection. Call today to find out what taking the con out of contracting can mean for you. References are available upon request. When we start a job, we do so with a commitment to see it through to the end, with very little downtime.

Appeals court refuses to reinstate union law
AG wanted appeals court to put judge's ruling on hold
MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin appeals court has refused to put on hold a judge's decision repealing major parts of Gov. Scott Walker's law effectively ending collective bargaining for most public workers.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen asked the 4th District Court of Appeals to place the September ruling of Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas on hold while an appeal is pending. Colas refused in October and the appeals court on Tuesday upheld that decision.
The appeals court said it sees "no basis to set aside the circuit court's decision that a stay was not warranted."
A spokeswoman for Van Hollen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Last year's ruling overturned the law as it pertained to school and local government workers.

Dr. E. O. Wilson is interviewed on NPR's Morning Edition by Will Wright, the creator of the video game, The Sims. Dr. Wilson is Professor Emeritus (retired) at Harvard.
You can listen to the interview on NPR's website. At the beginning of the interview, E. O. Wilson says that games are the future of education. He says that gaming allows us to learn the way that we evolved to learn: by doing.
Who is Dr. Wilson?
From NPR site:
"Biologist E. O. Wilson, professor emeritus at Harvard University, is a two-time Pulitzer-winning ant expert who helped develop theories of island biogeography, chemical ecology, and sociobiology. A leader in the modern environmental movement, Wilson has devoted his life to understanding how all forms of life are connected."
Who is Will Wright?
Have you heard of the video game, The Sims? Well, before the Sims, Will Wright created a game SimAnt, in 1991. And according to his story on NPR this morning, Will used Dr. Wilson's work on ants to create the scientifically accurate game SimAnt.
Here we have another argument in favor of teaching using games. Games allow us to Do Things. FAS has long held this position, and we are always happy to hear when others say so, too.

Of course, he is focused on the home user, and not the bigger mess found in the corporate world, where Federal Rules like the one past last week that begin to mandate that all U.S. companies archive every e-mail and instant message (IM) generated by their employees.
However, the article does bring up issues that effect the corporate world as well. Its not the "format" as much as the medium/player interface. A friend of mine just bought a vintage 8-track-tape player, but has only one 8-track tape to try it out with. He is now looking on eBay for other 8-track tapes.
The idea of keeping old drives around to read back data is not new. A company called eMag Solutions has all kinds of older tape drives to help companiesretrieve data on their older 3420 and 3480 tape cartridges.
The problem is not just accessing the data on the media, but rendering the "ones" and "zeros" into meaningful information. For example, suppose I saved a copy of my Quicken Tax file every year, and copied them onto a singleDVD for long term storage. The problem is that to access 2002 tax data, I have to run that version of the Quicken 2002 program, and hopefully that version will run on my current computer equipment and operating system.
A client I visited earlier this year had to retrieve 4-year-old Oracle data for litigation reasons. However, to make sense of the data, they had to build a server with a down-level version of AIX and down-level version of Oracle to match the level supported by their homegrown application.
One solution might be to find a new format that is application-independent. Flat text files, Adobe PDF format, MP3 audio files, HTML pages, and JPEG photo images are often used to avoid the requirement of special applications to make sense of the data.Unfortunately, in some countries, the laws actually dictate that business must keep their data in the original "digital format". So, if it was a MS WORD v1 document, it must be kept in v1 format, even though today's WORD 2002 can't even make sense of it, and you have to go to IBM or some other third party that have "rendering tools" that understand these older formats.
Luckily, for the corporate world, IBM has a lot of experience in this area, is the leader in Content Management, offers the world's fastest archive/compliance storage, the DR550, clocked at three times faster than the EMC Centera, WORM tape on LTO Generation 3 and 3592 tape cartridges, and software designed to render older formats into readable form.
For the home user, IBM's recent "Innovation Jam" identified this as one of the top 10 ideas, the idea of "Digital Me", storing not just old tax documents, but photos, music, home videos, and so on. My aunt Nancy passed away, leaving me a box of old VHS tapes, which I will watch this month as I sort through all my paper receipts getting ready to file for 2006 taxes.

About the Author: Steven R. Koltai serves as Senior Advisor for Global Entrepreneurship in the Bureau of Economic, Energy and Business Affairs.
I recently visited Cairo, Egypt, and was thrilled to see the momentum building around our Global Entrepreneurship Program there. The entrepreneurship initiative, started by President Obama's historic June 2009 Cairo speech, has materialized into a rapidly growing program with huge support from partners in the business community, non-governmental organizations, and universities. U.S. Embassy Cairo launched the Global Entrepreneurship Partners' first meeting on June 21 in a session hosted by U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Margaret Scobey. More than a dozen partners in Cairo and via video link from the State Department in Washington, DC, participated, and an amazing level of entrepreneurial energy filled the room with lots of initial commitments including partners agreeing to work together on training, mentoring, and funding entrepreneurs. The next big event will be the arrival of an "Entrepreneur in Residence" later this summer. An entrepreneurship mission including U.S. venture capitalists and entrepreneurs is headed to Egypt in October. The entrepreneurial spirit is catching on around the world, but particularly in Egypt.

Going Solo - Page 3
Post-Race Party. Make it what you like. If you are an introvert who wants to sip a couple brews alone, do it. If you want a huge gala, get family and friends involved, or coax a friend into throwing the shindig. Make it a reason to finish.
After conquering your own solo ultra you may just agree with Karnazes, who says, "I enjoy racing and competition, but running solo and navigating my own course is my favorite activity."
Don't be surprised if...
- The weather is unseasonably bad. Be mentally prepared for poor conditions, whether it be rain, snow, wind or heat.
- Your solitude is broken by people. We don't own the trails, so hikers, tourists and other runners may be on your ultra circuit.
- You feel better than ever. Thousands of footfalls and hours of uncluttered thinking add up to a clear mind and a sense of well being.
- The highs and lows are pronounced. Being undistracted you will notice your peaks and valleys.
- Before you've finished, you'll be planning another. Going ultra solo doesn't replace organized events; it only adds depth to the life of a trail runner.
Keep It Safe: Remember these must-haves
:: Flashlight and/or headlamp
:: Cell phone
:: Identification
:: Spare car key
:: Warm clothes and rain gear
:: First-aid kit
:: Extra socks
:: Vaseline

Topic: link_to function? new view from function?
Hey Guys,
I have created a function that collects all the entries of a model (called Nismo) that begins with a selected letter/number:
def showByLetter(letter)
@nismosByLetter = Nismo.all :conditions => ['substr(name,1,1) = ?', letter]
I have this inside my "Nismo" controller.
In my index view of the Nismo controller I have an alphabetical menu that I want to use to allow the user to select, for example, "B". This will then run the showByLetter function and then show in a page all the entries that start with that letter.
My problem is that in my index page I really don't know how to get this all to happen:
<% Array('A' .. 'Z').each do |letter| %>
<%= link_to letter, showByLetter(letter) %>
<% end %>
I am guessing I need to create a new view.html.erb file for this "showByLetter" function to display it's results in.
I have tried to get my head around it from the programatic programmers book and have seen comments on the net that might mean I need to play with the routes.rb file to add something like to get the route right:
namespace "nismo" do
resources :nismos do
member do
get :showByLetter
I am sure this is all very simple but I am confused and need some pointers.
any help would be appreciated!

Samsung Electronics has sold two million units of its Galaxy Tab personal computer in slate form-factor, a South Korean news-agency reported this week. The tablet is clearly less popular than Apple iPad even despite of direct advertising in magazines and other media outlets. The big question the reason of lower popularity of the Galaxy Tab.
This week Samsung revealed that it had sold two million Galaxy Tab slates, reports Yonhap news-agency. The company supplied about 500 thousand units to Europe, 350 thousand tablets were sold in Northern America, 330 thousand Galaxy Tabs were sold in Asia and the rest were purchased in regions like Latin America, Russia and so on. At present Samsung Galaxy Tablet is available in 94 countries from 200 mobile carriers.
Samsung started to sell its Galaxy Tab in October, hence, it can be said that throughout the fourth quarter of 2010 it sold two million tablets. During the same timeframe Apple sold around 7.3 million of its iPad devices, which is over three times more.
Apple was clearly the first company to release a successful media tablet, which quickly became popular among Apple's current customers. Since those customers consumer a lot more content than they create, they do not need keyboards and iPad was just what the doctor ordered for them. Samsung was only second to launch a media tablet and since its target audience was generally users of Windows-based PCs, who consume lower amount of content, the slate PC did not become that popular. Another explanation is that a lot of tablet users prefer larger screens, where iPad has an exclusive advantage.
Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 is based on Google Android 2.2 operating system that is primarily designed for mobile phones and was tailored for slate device by Samsung itself. The device is powered by ARM Cortex-A8 1.0GHz processor, PowerVR SGX 540 graphics processor, features 512MB of random access memory (RAM) and either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage. The product is equipped with 7" screen with 1024*600 resolution, 3.0MP camera with flash, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 802.11a/b/g/n controller, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSUPA/HSDPA, Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA and so on. The GT-P1000 weighs 380 grams.

2. show me the full list of methods of an object (I am new at Ruby, so there may be a better way)
3. help me with method syntax

Franklin County has cash flow problem
MALONE – Franklin County may take out a short-term loan to pay its bills and make payroll due to what county officials are calling a "cash flow issue."
County Manager Tom Leitz told legislators Thursday that the fund balance has been depleted to the point where he's concerned about being able to meet financial obligations. He suggested the county take advantage of relatively low interest rates and borrow money short-term.
"You have to make payroll and pay your vendor costs," Leitz told the county board's Finance Committee. "In my judgment, this is prudent. What's not prudent is to not pay your vendors timely and to not honor your obligations timely."
County Treasurer Bryon Varin said the county currently has an undesignated fund balance of about $1.35 million and about $8 million in cash flow. The county spends about $7.5 million to $8 million a month to operate, he said.
"The rule of thumb is, that's what we should have in fund equity," Varin said. "That's why we need to address that."
Leitz said the county has spent roughly $15 million in fund balance over the past decade, although he said he's lately tried to slow the use of it in the county budget.
"We're not back where we were before the recession, and no county is, where we have lots of fund balance, so we've got to manage on thin margins," Leitz said. "There's a couple ways to improve your margins. The first way is easy: Just raise taxes and put that money toward the fund balance. Obviously that's a difficult thing to do, and our taxpayers are not in a position where they can pay more. So the question comes with regard to the cash: Is it prudent to raise taxes to raise your fund balance to give you that stability, or is it prudent to do short-term borrowing?"
Leitz said other counties in similar situations have opted to take out loans. Last year, St. Lawrence County borrowed $12 million to help offset a projected cash flow shortage. Given Franklin County's current credit rating, Leitz said it could take out a one-year loan of $2 million at 1 percent, or $20,000, in interest.
In addition to being short on fund balance, the county has some significant bills coming due soon. It has committed to helping fund a natural gas distribution pipeline in the northern end of the county, and a more than $1 million obligation on that is due by May 1, Varin said.
Varin also said it's going to be difficult for the county to meet its roughly $10 million tax obligation to school districts and villages in the coming months. The county typically covers the unpaid local taxes levied by school districts and villages, which is often referred to as "making them whole."
"I'm working with school districts as we speak to spread our obligation to them over a period of time," Varin told legislators. "I believe they'll all support this county. As treasurer, I was there to help them in their difficult times."
Although Varin said he wants to avoid "needless borrowing," he said the county may have to take out a tax anticipation note to cover some of these costs. He asked the board to pass a resolution at its next meeting authorizing him to borrow up to $4 million, although he said he hopes the amount he may have to use will be less than that.
Leitz said there is a proposal in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's executive budget that could save the county some money, but not immediately. It would lock municipalities into a fixed amount on their share of employee pension costs. This year, the county set aside $4 million for pension costs, or about 20 percent of its payroll. Under the governor's proposal, the county could lock in at 12 percent for five years. That would have saved about $1.6 million this year, and pension costs are expected to rise next year, Leitz said.
"That's one way this year to improve cash flow and add to the fund balance, but that doesn't help short-term because that bill is not paid until December," Leitz said.
County officials said a big part of the cash flow problem is the lag time in getting reimbursed by the state for programs and services it mandates the county to provide. Varin said "state reimbursements are lagging worse than they have been," in some cases six to eight weeks, something he's asked the county's state representatives to help address.
If the county is going to take out a loan to deal with its cash flow problems, Legislator Tim Burpoe of Saranac Lake suggested Varin also borrow for the pipeline project and several highway projects the county is planning.
"I'm thinking that maybe we should be rolling into a short-term note all of these projects, so that we can start making your job a little bit easier in the way of cash flow, but also we need to get these projects done anyhow," Burpoe said.
Other legislators said they'd like to avoid borrowing as much as possible.
"I would basically have a lengthy discussion with our treasurer before I'd get into any decision like that," said Legislator Guy "Tim" Smith of Fort Covington.
The county Finance Committee plans to meet next week to discuss how to move forward.

The first few days I took the tryptophan, it helped me sleep deeper. After that I began to experience some side effects such as racing heart and some kind of perception change that is difficult to describe - just feeling detached from reality. Both were quite unsettling. Definitely see your Doctor before you start this, and make sure you monitor the side effects with your Doctor.

good means to restore serotonin
Posted by Reviewer2859053 on Feb 26, 2009
When taken with melatonin lozenges tryptophan is necessary to maintain regular serotonin levels and keep one's sleep pattern relatively regular. Though this still has to pass through the destructive acid in the stomach before reaching the blood stream, it does make it easier to get to sleep after several days of taking melatonin or raking large doses of melatonin.

The Ryan White Program
The Ryan White Program, the single largest federal program designed specifically for people with HIV in the United States, is estimated to reach more than half a million people with HIV each year.1, 2 First enacted in 1990, it has played an increasingly critical role as the number of people living with HIV has grown over time and the needs of this population have become more complex as people are living longer with the disease. The program provides care and support services to individuals and families affected by the disease, functioning as the "payer of last resort" by filling the gaps for those who have no other source of coverage or face coverage limits.
Federal Ryan White funding, which must be appropriated by Congress each year, is provided to cities, states and territories,3 providers, and other organizations. Administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), it is the third largest source of federal funding for HIV care in the U.S., after Medicare and Medicaid (see Figure 1).4, 5 In addition to federal funding, some states and localities also provide funding to their Ryan White programs (including through certain state matching funds requirements).
The program has been reauthorized by Congress four times since first created (1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009), and is currently authorized through FY 2013.2, 6, 7, 8, 9 Each reauthorization has made adjustments to the program. Most recently, for example, the 2009 reauthorization included provisions designed to strengthen Ryan White's role in helping identify individuals who are HIV positive and not yet diagnosed, including a requirement that the Secretary of DHHS establish a new national HIV testing goal of 5,000,000 tests per year to be met by Ryan White and other federal programs.8, 10 It also increased Ryan White funding authorization levels, dependent upon annual appropriations, and extended the period under which grantees were required to move from code- to name-based reporting of HIV data, among other changes.8
Ryan White Program Clients
HRSA estimates that more than half a million people receive at least one medical, health, or related support service through Ryan White each year; many clients receive services from multiple parts of Ryan White.1 In 2010:11
- Six in 10 (59%) clients had incomes at or below the federal poverty level (FPL); an additional 19% had incomes between 101% and 200% FPL.12
- Three in 10 (30%) clients were uninsured but most (70%) are underinsured, covered by Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and other sources, but face limits in their coverage or need help with costs.12, 13
- Clients are largely male (68%); between the ages 45 and 64 (48%); and people of color (72%).12
- Four in 10 (39%) clients were gay and bisexual men.14
Ryan White Parts, Grantees, & Structure
The Ryan White Program consists of several "Parts" (see Figure 2). Eligible entities apply for funding by Part, and include states, cities, directly-funded public and private providers, community-based organizations (CBOs), and other institutions. Most funding is provided to states (57% in FY 2012) followed by cities (28%), and the remainder directly to organizations.1, 13 Much of the funding provided to states and cities is in turn channeled to local providers. CBOs make up the largest single group of Ryan White-funded entities serving clients (42% in 2010).12

In recognition of the varying and changing nature of the HIV epidemic, Ryan White grantees are given broad discretion to design many aspects of their programs, such as specifying client eligibility levels and service priorities. However, the 2006 reauthorization added new grantee requirements, including a requirement that 75% or more of funds be spent on "core medical services" under Parts A through C and that all state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) have a minimum formulary for medications.7, 16 It also changed the way in which federal funds are allocated to Parts A and B, now based on both living HIV (non-AIDS) and living AIDS case counts (previously, it was only based on living AIDS cases). HIV (non-AIDS) case counts are only permitted from states that have name-based HIV reporting systems; states with code-based systems can receive an exemption, and were allowed a grace period, extended for three more years by the 2009 reauthorization, to complete their transition to names, but their counts are reduced for funding purposes in the interim.8, 10 The program's parts are:
- Part A: Funds provided to "eligible metropolitan areas" (EMAs), those with a cumulative total of more than 2,000 reported AIDS cases over the most recent five-year period, and "transitional grant areas" (TGAs), those with 1,000-1,999 cumulative reported AIDS cases. Two thirds of funds are distributed by formula based on an area's share of living HIV (non-AIDS) and living AIDS cases; the remainder is distributed via competitive, supplemental grants based on "demonstrated need." EMAs must establish Planning Councils, local bodies tasked with assessing needs, developing a plan for the delivery of HIV care, and setting priorities for funding. TGAs are not required to have Planning Councils (unless they are "grandfathered" EMAs17).
- Part B: Funds provided to all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and five territories and associated jurisdictions. States provide services directly, through sub-grantees, and/or through Part B "Consortia" (associations set up to plan for and deliver HIV care). Part B components include:
- Base & Supplemental: Funds distributed by formula to states based on state's share of living HIV (non-AIDS) and living AIDS cases, weighted to reflect the presence or absence of EMAs/TGAs. Part B "supplemental" grants are available for states with "demonstrated need.
- ADAP & ADAP Supplemental: Congress "earmarks" funds under Part B for ADAPs which provide medications to people with HIV. ADAP supplemental grants are available to states with "severe need" (5% of earmark reserved for this purpose).
- Emerging Communities (ECs): A portion of Part B base funds is set aside for grants to metropolitan areas that do not yet qualify as EMAs or TGAs, but have 500-999 cumulative reported AIDS cases over the most recent 5 years. All funding is distributed via formula using living HIV/AIDS cases from all eligible ECs.
- Part C: Public and private organizations are funded directly for:
- Early Intervention Services (EIS): to provide comprehensive primary health care to people with HIV, including services to people newly diagnosed with HIV, such as HIV testing, case management, and risk reduction counseling.
- Capacity Development & Planning Grants: to support organizations in planning for service delivery and building capacity to provide services.
- Part D: Public and private organizations are funded directly to provide family-centered and community-based services to children, youth, and women living with HIV and their families, including outreach, prevention, primary and specialty medical care, and psychosocial services. Part D also supports activities to improve access to clinical trials and research for these populations.
- Part F: Includes the following components:
- AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs): National and regional centers that provide education and training for health care providers who treat people with HIV;
- Dental Programs: Includes the "Dental Reimbursement Program," which reimburses dental schools/dental care providers and the "Community-Based Dental Partnership Program," which funds programs to increase access to dental care for people with HIV and educate providers;
- Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI): The MAI, created in 1998 in response to growing concern about the impact of HIV on racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S., provides funding across several DHHS agencies/programs, including Ryan White, to strengthen organizational capacity and expand HIV-related services in minority communities. The Ryan White component of the MAI was codified in the 2006 reauthorization and the 2009 reauthorization required HRSA to develop a formula for awarding MAI grants under Parts A and B.8, 10
- Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS): Funded through "set-asides" of general federal Public Health Service evaluation funding, separately from the amount appropriated by Congress for Ryan White, SPNS projects address emerging needs of clients and assist in developing a standard electronic client information data system.
Ryan White Funding
Federal funding for the Ryan White Program began in FY 1991 and increased significantly in the mid-1990s, primarily after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). It has continued to increase but at a slower rate, with most increases targeted to ADAPs.1, 4, 18, 19
Future Outlook and Challenges
The Ryan White Program, first enacted as an emergency measure, has grown to become a main part of the fabric of HIV care in the U.S., playing a critical role in the lives of low-income people with HIV who have little or no access through other sources. As a federal grant program, its funding depends on annual appropriations by Congress, and funding levels do not necessarily correspond to the number of people who need services or the actual costs of services. As a result, not all states and communities can meet all needs in their jurisdictions. In addition, as payer of last resort, the Ryan White care system is sensitive to the capacity of and changes in the larger fiscal environment and health system. Recent economic conditions have meant increased demands on Ryan White at a time when resources have been constrained and, as a result, some states have instituted cost-containment measures, such as waiting lists for ADAPs.20, 21 In response, the U.S. government has provided emergency funding to reduce pressure on Ryan White/ADAPs.
Additionally, two developments have altered the HIV/AIDS policy landscape and have implications for Ryan White that are not yet clear—the passage of national health care reform and the release of the first National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the country.22, 23 While the role of Ryan White in light of these developments will likely evolve, the program will continue to be critical for people with HIV.

My Little Farmer Loves It!
By Mama Harper
from Canton, Ohio
Comments about Learning Resources Hide-n-Go Moo™:
My three year old loves playing Hide-n-Go Moo. She reaches inside the barn and tries to guess the animal by telling us what she feels. SHe also enjoys matching the mommy animal to the baby animal. I like that the pieces are big so I don't have to worry if baby sister gets her hands on anything. Plus it is very durable and definitely built to last.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect For Toddler's Little Hands
By Messy Mama
from Cincinnati, Ohio
I love how cute this set is. It's the perfect size for my toddler. I love that it's the perfect toy to take with us on the go. All the little animals fit right inside so we only have to carry one toy but get to play with a set.
Endless Hours of Fun
By Jacqui Odell
from Princeton, KS
My daughter really loved play peek-a-boo game and trying to find certain farm animals. She had fun matching farm animals with their sound and their body.
Excellent for Sensory Skills
By Liz P.
from Orange County, CA
The main play is to place the animals inside the barn and use sensory skills to identify each animal by touch. There is a vinyl flap on the top which is easy for little toddler hands to go in and out. It doesn't scratch up Kenzie's hands either. She definitely enjoys hiding her animals in the barn to quickly finding them again. The size of this toy makes it very portable and clean up is a breeze as you just place the animals inside the barn for nap time.
Great for toddlers!
By Alesha @ Full Time Mama
from Arizona
We love the adorable barn with 4 mommy (or daddy) animals and 4 matching baby animals; horse, cow, duck, and pig (though we'd love to have even more animals). Vinyl flaps over the opening at the top of the barn keep kids from peeking to see what animal they're grabbing out of the barn. This game offers many ways to have fun while learning, such as practicing animal sounds, matching, and big vs little. It also enhances tactile and sensory awareness. It was fun to watch my toddler reach in and show total shock and excitement at what he pulled out. At 2 years old he knows his animals and animal sounds, but it was still fun to encourage him to make the sounds of the animals as they appeared from the barn. I tried getting him to tell me which animal he felt and guess what it was before he pulled it out of the barn, but he wasn't always interested; Being a typical 2-year old, he was willing to cooperate at first when I tried getting him to do things with the animals- like matching up the mommy and baby animals- but after a few minutes he was ready to just play with it all. It's been great for learning play AND free play, and I love knowing he's safe with it because of the larger pieces!*I received this product free of charge to facilitate my review. My thoughts are my own, honest opinions.*

Great Toddler fun
By Nancy @ Arizona Mama
from Glendale, AZ
The Hide N' Go Moo is a fun sensory toy for children ages 2 to 4 years of age. It is made up of a hard plastic barn with a vinyl top. The vinyl top is a slit opening to reach inside the barn. It includes 4 mommy (or daddy) and 4 baby animals. There are cows, pigs, horses, and ducks. The animals are made of a smooth hard plastic. There is an obvious size difference so you can tell which is the adult animal and which is the baby. The animals are perfect size to grasp in little hands. This game can be used in many ways. The animals can be sorted by size or by family. By placing the animals in the barn they can be pulled out to discover which you found. Also, by reaching into the barn a child can search for a certain animal based on feel or guess which they have found based on feel. I really like the versatility of this toy. It really is simple, but we have so many options on ways to play. The barn and the animals are all well made and sturdy. This toy will last for many years and because of the great quality of everything Learning Resources makes I am sure it will continue to look brand new just as long. I am excited to continue to use this to teach my toddler about animals. The barn can also be used to put other things inside for sensory play. I have not tried it yet, but I plan to also use the barn with my soon to be kindergartener for letters, shapes, and numbers. I will probably use his magnet letters and hide them in the barn and have him guess which ones he grabs when he reaches in by touch. While I was teaching I used to sing a fun ABC song with Old MacDonald. Pretty much it was, "Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-e-i-o and on his farm he had an A, e-i-e-i-e-i-o, with an /a/ /a/ here and an /a/ /a/ there, here an /a/, there an /a/, everywhere an /a/ /a/, Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-e-i-o". It is a fun way to teach letters and their sounds. I think by adding the letters inside the barn and pulling them out one at a time we can sing the song with which ever letter we pull out.

This is a cute little barn game. The animals fit in small hands and many learning activities including naming baby animals and their sounds.I do wish it had even more animals to the set.*I received this item for free to review on my blog. All opinions are my own.
Perfect Toy for Little Ones
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Hide-n-Go Moo is the cutest little toy! It comes with a decent sized, plastic barn that has a flap across the top. Little ones can easily fit their hands inside the flap so they can grab one of the farm animals. The flap makes it so they can can guess what animal they are holding without peeking! For older ones, you can make this into a game by having them match the baby animal with the adult animal. For little ones like my little boy, he just loves pulling the animals out one by one and putting them back in. This has become his favorite toy and it's an adorable product! I have had lots of moms ask me about it already because it's so cute and fun! I would highly recommend this fun toy for any child under 4. **I received this product free of charge in order to do an honest review. My thoughts are 100% my own**
Great for Easter gifts
By Kristen from Ohio
from Ohio
Designed for kids ages 2-4 this is a matching game. Children place all 8 animals inside the barn. The flaps keep the animals hidden. Then they reach inside to pull out an animal. Next, they reach back in, and using the sense of touch, they try to find the matching mama or baby animal. Our son has already logged hours of play time with this toy. It is so cute and so versatile. He does use it for matching, but then he will pull the animals out and give them rides on his cars and tractors.
Great for Toddlers of All Ages!
By M_Oachs
from Rosemount, MN
Are you looking for a great game for both young and old toddlers (ages 2-4)? Then I recommend this Hide-n-Go Moo game from Learning Resources. Both my children who are about in this age range LOVE the Hide-n-Go Moo game!My younger child loves this game for the little hand held animals, identifying the "mommy" and "baby" matches, and talking about the noises they make! My older toddler son LOVES it because he loves looking at the farm animals, the challenge of finding the matches without looking, and just for pretend play as well! He loves to re-create the farm scene with the animals!I love that this game includes four different farm animals and a life-like barn! This is a great game for the whole family to play together and it is one for your younger children to play as well. This can be hard to find sometimes!

Very well equiped, with everything you need to cook and spend a few days. Very nice place!
In July 2015 we - 6 happy Danes - spent a wonderful week in this luxury Apartment beautiful placed on top of a steep Road providing us with the most fantastic view over all of Athens - including Acropolis! The Apartment contents everything you need for a nice stay abroad - well equipped kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, microwaven and washingmachine - all new and in a good condition. The Apartment was light and spacy and very clean and - most important - very well airconditioned! We were treated most kindly by the elderly woman living in the ground flat and the very sweet woman living on first floor. The area is very cosy with a lot of small - but all very steep roads. During the day there's some traffic in the area, but things settle down during the evening and night - and nobody was kept awake due to noisy traffic. The nearest metro stations is Dimitrios and Dafni both 1.2km from the flat - about 20 minutes walk. It is convinient and easy to go by metro - even all the way to the AirPort. From Dafni station its easy to get a taxi to the flat for the most fair Price of around 3 Euros. We will highly recommend the Apartment .... And wonderful Athens!
Very nice appartment exactly meeting our expectations. Site's description is perfect and Georges's support was indeed very nice and professional. Taxi driver was waiting for us with our name at the airport as expected.
We finally found the shortest way to walk to the tram which is about 15mn away from the appartment and very convinient when you want to visit Athenes and when it is around 35 to 38° outside! We do not mind walking a lot but frankly speaking taking the tram is very helpful.... we even took it to the beach and our recommandation is really to go at the very end of the tram and even take the bus (144) which drives you to very nice beaches... and even a very nice salty lake wher you can experience fishes eating your dead skins everywhere....
The only little thing to be mentioned is that we could run the washing machine while we were using the air conditioning.... but other than that, the appartment is really to be recommended!
I enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very comfortable and really well placed... and I must say (visiting much places here) that in my opinion this district is the most beautiful part of Athens. it is clean... it is green..... interesting coast - many different beaches from wide sand ones to even quite wild with rocks wonderful for snorkeling especially... quite close to Acropolis, Placa .... quite close to Piraeus (possibility of visiting some islands ) a lot of well equipped shops around... good communication... just everything perfect.
We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
Great appartment with a fantastic wiev over Athens.
We really enjoyed our stay
We spent days in the vintage apartment and i fully recommend it to everyone. The apartment is well equipted. It is located outside but with public transport easy to go everywhere.
We had wonderful 5 days there! :)
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
