Photonic Bloch waves and field microstructure in nonlinear gratings: An intuitive approach
Russell, P.St.J. (1991) Photonic Bloch waves and field microstructure in nonlinear gratings: An intuitive approach. In, Topical Meeting on Nonlinear Guided Wave Phenomena, Cambridge, GB,
Download (237Kb)
Coupled wave theory is commonly used in numerical simulations of reflection from nonlinear grating structures. By contrast, the complementary photonic Bloch wave (PBW) approach has rarely been adopted, perhaps the only example being recent work on gap solitons. Bloch wave theory offers an alternative physical intuitive picture that encourages one to think in terms of field microstructure, leading to a range of simple explanations for the behaviour of light in linear gratings. In this paper the dispersion relation and field microstructure of Bloch waves are found, and used to clarify the physical mechanisms that lead to regions of bistability, instability and oscillation for incidence of a monochromatic plane wave on a nonlinear grating half-space.

The kitchen area is the point in most of the houses and meeting hub. Although not all sit down to eat with the family is still one of the rooms where you are more likely to meet with family members. If you are making a sandwich, pour a glass of fruit juice or rummaging through the cabinets looking for something more interesting, the kitchen is a room that most of the people coming in and out several times during the day.
If you are thinking of updating your kitchen then there are some important points to consider before making any type move:
1) Access.
This is vital for every kitchen. As mentioned earlier, a room is that people move in and out during the day, therefore, a way of easy access, which does not involve passing through other rooms or people of disorder is essential. You should also think about the location of food must follow when cooking. If the chair is uncomfortable, perhaps you may want to consider adding a hatch or put in a new door.
2) Flooring.
The key factors to consider when looking at the floor of the kitchen are so easy to clean and durable as it is. For these reasons, many people choose good quality wood or vinyl for their kitchens. Another great option is to put the stone slabs or tiles. If you go to a rustic look, then this will come together nicely.
3) Appliances and devices.
Overall, I would always advise you to buy the best quality appliances you can afford, because as you did in the long run. The style and design of these elements depends largely required to achieve the overall appearance, but the key point is that you need to make sure everything works.
4) Kitchen Island.
These are very popular in larger kitchens and offer a great place to prepare food, as well as being a focal point in the kitchen.
5) Breakfast Bar.
Another great point of reference and an informal meeting place, where family and guests can stay together. The idea to consider if you want an adjoining room, but it is a small narrow space is to put a bar instead of a wall between the two rooms. This way you can switch two separate back and forth between the two foods and dishes, and a chat room to another room.
Once you have thought about your plans for the kitchen it is time to find a good manufacturer that will make this a reality. Now that we are firmly in the Internet age, the easiest way to locate a local builder is to check a website for traders, in which you can enter the details of what you want and wait for local builders to give their idea of the cost. Once you have all the quotes from the manufacturer ready to choose the one you like and get them to start working to make your dream kitchen to life.

Galaxy S4 is freezing up for a for a couple of seconds every 15 seconds
My S4 as above is freezing up a lot. I noticed that its more intense when the phone is on charge, i'll be playing an app and it will become unresponsive for 2-3 seconds every 15 seconds or so. it's infuriating when i'm playing a game or texting because if it happens when I tap a button, which is a lot, when the phone catchs it mashes that button like 50 times as if I've been pressing and holding.
It doesn't happen nearly as much when not charging but does occasionally and I've noticed that the phone is sometimes freezing completely and I have to wait a couple of minutes for it to decide to restart itself, or pull the battery out!
I've tried clearing the cache thingy by pressing the standby, volume and home button but hasn't helped at all. Most of my storage is used up but there is 1gb or so wiggle room. Oh also when I press the home button it can take 5-10 seconds to jump to the home screen these days!
Can anyone suggest a fix for this please? I'd rather not factory restore and lose all my data if possible!

Welcome to Android Central! So you actually did wipe the cache partition, as described here? Reset: Samsung Galaxy S 4 | T-Mobile Support
Corrupt SD cards can sometimes cause issues, so try unmounting your card (in Settings>Storage), removing it, and rebooting.
Also go to your App Manager and look at the Running apps. How much RAM is free? Is there anything running that takes up a large amount of RAM that you never use?

|John Henry reaches deal to buy Boston Globe
|08.02.13 at 10:39 pm ET
John Henry came into Boston in 2002 promising to break the "Curse of the Bambino" and deliver a World Series championship to Red Sox fans throughout New England. This season, under Henry's management, the Red Sox have produced another remarkable turnaround from last place to the best record in the American League.
Apparently, he will get the chance to try his turnaround magic on the Boston Globe.
According to Peter Gammons, Henry has been selected by The New York Times Co., the Globe's current owner, to take over the newspaper, according to a report on his website Gammons Daily. The price is speculated to range anywhere between $70 and $120 million.
Update: The Globe has confirmed the purchase agreement reached by Henry.
BREAKING: Red Sox owner John Henry enters agreement to buy The Boston Globe
— The Boston Globe (@BostonGlobe) August 3, 2013
Henry's Red Sox already own a majority stake in NESN and sports teams marrying media entities is hardly groundbreaking. FOX Entertainment Group owned the Dodgers. The Tribune Co. owned the Cubs and Ted Turner owned the Braves. The Knicks and Rangers are owned by the Dolan family, which owns Cablevision. But in this case it's the sports franchise buying the media outlet.
The Globe reported on Wednesday that Henry was going to submit a bid for the newspaper as a solo buyer after an attempt to purchase the Globe through New England Sports Network did not materialize. Henry also owns the soccer powerhouse Liverpool Reds of the Barclay's Premier League.
|Why the Red Sox made an exception, and why Dustin Pedroia's decision was 'a no-brainer'
|07.24.13 at 9:08 pm ET
Thought that long-term deals were a thing of the past for the Red Sox? Thought that, once the team had liberated itself from the weight of the seven-year deals for Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, it was going to remain focused on shorter-term deals?
That is clearly the team's preference — for most players. But the team nonetheless found itself celebrating an eight-year contract on Wednesday as a franchise watershed. And that is because the team added a player whom it knows, whom it trusts completely with that sort of length of commitment in the form of second baseman Dustin Pedroia, a player whose constancy of effort and commitment is literally worn on his uniform every night in the form of the dirt without which he is never seen.
Pedroia signed an eight-year, $110 million deal with the Red Sox on Wednesday, accepting a contract that was considerably less than what the open market might have borne (indeed, it is considerably less than the $15 million a year that Ian Kinsler received from the Rangers while he was still under team control) in order to give him an excellent chance of finishing his career with the Red Sox.
The second baseman is a four-time All-Star, a former Rookie of the Year and MVP winner and a two-time Gold Glove winner. Still, he's 29, and the deal covers not just the remainder of his prime years but also what is likely a considerable amount of the decline phase of his career, through his age 38 season.
And so, even with that below-market price point, the Sox would have been leery of giving such a long-term deal to most players. Pedroia is not most players. Read the rest of this entry »
|John Henry on M&M: 2012 'an anomalous year' for Red Sox
|07.18.13 at 2:49 pm ET
Red Sox owner John Henry joined Mut & Merloni on Thursday after to discuss the Red Sox' success through the first half of the season and what makes this year's team different than the Red Sox of last season.
Henry credited the success to the team getting back to the formula that helped it win championships in 2004 and 2007 ' something he thinks the team got away from.
"The way we look at it, we took a certain turn back in 2008 away from our core philosophy," Henry said. "I would say in May of last year we decided that we ' there was some emphasis that we needed to get back to that.
"I think a lot of it was centered on the at-bats and on the approach for pitchers as well. I think Bill James termed it the collapse of the center, which is — you start to press, things aren't going well, there is dissension and you're losing. Everyone wants to win the game with every at-bat, so instead of having what we had here for a decade here, which was grinding out at-bats and attacking the hitter if you're a pitcher, we had people not doing that and some of the worst at-bats that I have ever seen consistently."
One part of the reason for the Red Sox' demise last year was the epidemic of injuries. Henry said the team's focus during the last offseason was not necessarily to go out and get the best player like it had in years past, but to have a more disciplined approach at spending its money.
"We needed greater depth. In order to have greater depth, you can't necessarily go out and spend ' go after Josh Hamilton, for instance, and spend $25 million on one player. You spend $100 million on four players and it makes it difficult to have depth. Every team has to rely on staying healthy to one degree or another. But I think every team has a tendency to underestimate how much depth means."
Henry said that while many had counted the Red Sox out at the beginning of the season, he knew that last year's performance was not representative of what the Red Sox could do this season.
"Last year in my mind was an anomalous year," Henry said. "People seem to be surprised that we are in first place and that we are a decent team. I think everybody predicted us last, almost unanimously. I think that is because you get — when you have a bad year, you assume that it's going to continue. I heard a lot of feeling as if the good days were over with the Boston Red Sox as a franchise. We had a great run of 11 years or 10 years, but last year was certainly an anomalous year.
"Ben [Cherington] did a great job to make a transaction to move players that were unhappy, and we now have a group — we brought in a new group of players that are thriving in this market. This is a market that other players at least in the past seen this as a really tough media market to try to play in and deal with. You don't see that at all this year. It's not just the change in managers, it is the change in personnel. You have to give Ben Cherington a lot of credit for what is going on."
During his sit-down session with Mut & Merloni on Thursday afternoon, Red Sox owner John Henry discussed his strained relationship with former Sox manager Terry Francona and said it would be "difficult" for the two to mend fences.
Francona criticized Sox ownership — mainly Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino — in a book he wrote with Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, and Francona also has expressed disappointment with the way he has been treated since he left after the 2011 season.
Asked if he has tried to reach out to Francona, Henry said he still has a bad taste in his mouth from his previous attempt, as Francona shared his bitterness about the situation with the media.
"I'm not sure I want to get back into the whole 'attempt' thing, because I had a long discussion with him about it, and as far as I'm concerned he mischaracterized that aspect," Henry said. "To me, he wrote a book that really attacked Tom and Larry unfairly. So, how can we have much of a relationship at this point?"
Asked about the possibility of repairing their relationship, Henry added: "It may be difficult, because the things that were said, some of these things were so below the belt. Maybe you can blame Dan Shaughnessy for that. '¦ It's about the book. There's not much more to say about that."
Henry insisted that ownership backed Francona during the tough times in Boston, and he commended Francona for his overall performance as Sox skipper.
"He had eight tremendous years and was tremendously supported, even after the collapse of September — which, we made it clear, we did not blame him for that collapse. But this is an argument you can't win," Henry said. "Really, what reason would I have to go on about this situation. He was the best manager we ever had. We had eight great years, great teams. He was a great manager. He was the best manager we've ever had. And I appreciate what he did. He suffered as much as any manager I've ever seen — even through the good times. He did everything he could to win for this organization."

|Dustin Pedroia acknowledges playing through torn UCL in thumb
|05.29.13 at 9:09 am ET
Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia revealed Tuesday that he has been playing with a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb.
In an interview with the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman, Pedroia said he was told he had a complete tear. He injured the thumb sliding into first base in an Opening Day win over the Yankees, although he said it was impossible to determine if it could have been a pre-existing tear. Doctors told him he could play through the injury without risk of long-term damage as long as he could deal with the discomfort.
"People shouldn't know if you're 100'percent or not. It is what it is, and it's my responsibility to perform well," Pedroia told the Herald before Tuesday night's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. 'My mindset is if I'm nicked up, I have to find other ways to perform. That's the way I think about it. Maybe I'm crazy."
The general recovery time for such an injury is eight weeks.
"You go and come back in eight weeks — that's a lot of ballgames without one of the team's best players, so my job's to go out there and do the best job I can to help the team win. That's the way I look at things," Pedroia said.
Pedroia's toughness impressed owner John Henry.
'It would have taken the heart and soul out of that club on Opening Day," Henry said. "We already had lost [David Ortiz] and we didn't know when he was coming back. It just meant so much to that club to have Dustin in the lineup every day."
Added Henry: "I had two or three talks with him during the time about what he should do. I kept talking about it's a long season and he kept talking about not missing a game. The guy played through the pain, through the swelling, the discoloration. He played through it, and no one ever knew. And he's hit what, .330?"
|John Farrell: Team meeting first step to 're-write script' from 2012
|02.15.13 at 2:14 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — For John Farrell, Friday morning's address to the his team was all business. It was about the business of moving on and making sure every player, coach and uniformed personnel understood what was expected. General manager Ben Cherington, owner John Henry, team president Larry Lucchino and chairman Tom Werner were all on hand to listen and offer support when needed.
'Well it was about 50 minutes," Farrell said. "There's a lot to mention. More than anything, a lot of it was introductory for a number of new players, new people they're coming in contact with. They were able to hear from ownership, from Ben, from myself. Pretty typical, I would think, for an opening of spring training.
'There are a good number of players there is no history with. I think more than anything, that first conversation, first talk is a way to set the tone, which I think was clear. But the thing we want to emphasize is that it's a matter of what we do on the field and not what we're talking about. We're hopeful and with every intent, that our actions speak certainly more volume than our words.
'To a man in that room, everyone associates the name Red Sox with winning. And that came out in conversation throughout the offseason. There's been an eagerness to get back down here and get started and re-write that script. Different degrees of embarrassment, different degrees of knowing that what transpired last year isn't the norm or isn't the expectation or allowable to a certain degree. So, I'm confident of that mindset to re-write that story.'
Was he cheered or booed?
'They're a business-like group," Farrell answered the good-natured question with his own dry wit. "Very stoic.'
The team then went out and had their first full squad workout as the heavy rains held off. Read the rest of this entry »
Red Sox chairman Tom Werner, in an interview with WEEI's Lou Merloni at spring training in Fort Myers, Fla., acknowledged he has read former manager Terry Francona's book and called it "fiction."
"I read the book. Fortunately I didn't have to pay for it — it was given to me," he said. "It's a good piece of fiction."
One of Francona's criticisms was that Sox ownership at times appeared more concerned with ratings and finances than the product on the field, that acquiring a "sexy" player was important to appeal to a wider fan base.
"That was silly. The only time I can remember ever talking about needing a sexy player was when I called Ben Cherington and told him to sign Vicente Padilla," Werner joked.
"I don't know what else to say," Werner added. "There were so many things in that book that were fabricated.
"But we accept the knocks — a certain amount of the knocks that we received we are perfectly mature enough to handle. When you lose, it's a tough situation. But I would just say to our fans, we suffer. You know that. You know who we are and you know how important it is for us to get things back on a winning track."
The owners also were portrayed as not having a true love for the game of baseball.
"Well, it wasn't accurate," Werner said of that accusation. "I haven in my office a picture of me — I'm a freshman in college, making a movie about Fenway Park. And that picture was taken 45 years ago. So, I just know how much I love the game. And really, we care so much about getting back to our winnings ways. That's what I'm focused on."
|John Henry is hands-on with David Ortiz
|02.13.13 at 4:55 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — After signing autographs for fans, Red Sox owner John Henry took time out to greet his slugger David Ortiz after batting practice Wednesday at JetBlue Park during Red Sox spring training.
Henry asked Ortiz about the strength of his right Achilles, and how it's coming along.
"How do you feel?" Henry asked his slugger.
"I feel better, feel better," Ortiz told his boss. "I was doing that agility drill and it felt good. I was moving around pretty good."
Moments later, it was Ortiz' chance to return the favor.
"How are your kids?" Ortiz asked the owner.
"They're great," Henry replied, before adding that his family will be joining him in Fort Myers later in the week.
Just moments earlier, it was Henry meeting and greeting the fans, even signing autographs.
|Larry Lucchino on D&C: Terry Francona's perceptions 'mischaracterized' by Dan Shaughnessy
|at 11:17 am ET
Red Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino checked in with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning, and much of the conversation centered on Terry Francona's book that paints Lucchino in an unflattering light.
Lucchino said he decided not to read the book — at least for now — and minimize his comments about it. Told that it doesn't seem to be his nature to avoid addressing an issue like this, Lucchino responded: "Sometimes my nature doesn't always lead me to the right place. But I think in this case it makes perfect sense.
"I certainly have heard a little bit about the book, so I know some of its themes. If I did read it, I would probably find that it's even more disappointing than I've heard, that it's highly selective. It's history as translated and written by Dan Shaughnessy, so it gives a certain Shaughnessy twist to it — I think many of us know what that can mean.
"It seems that if I did read it, the probabilities of my making some intemperate remark or getting involved in some collateral discussion of it would prevent me from doing my job right now. I've got a full plate of things. The 2013 season is a demanding one and has been. The offseason's been demanding and there's a lot for us to do. I just don't need — and I don't think the franchise needs — a debate of what's right and what's wrong. As I said, it's highly selective."
Added Lucchino: "I'm not a bully. I don't think I behave that way. You can talk to lots of people who will I think give you a slightly different impression."
Lucchino acknowledged he was disappointed that some discussions he believed were private were referenced in the book, but he expressed a bigger concern with how Shaughnessy "mischaracterized" Francona's perceptions.
"Certainly a lot of the things we talked about we did not anticipate would be the subject or be material for a book afterwards. That's a little troubling," Lucchino said. "But I have fond feelings for Tito. I have good memories about what happened. I understand that he left feeling a certain way about the organization and about us. But I believe he has said a whole number of positive things since then. And I just prefer not to get into a kind of discussion about how Dan Shaughnessy translated a lot of these things and characterized them — or in my view, mischaracterized them.
"I'll give you an example: One of the themes of the book, I'm told, is that we care more about money than winning, we are more about marketing and ratings and money and the profits that will be generated from baseball than the winning. I think that's silly. I think it's wrong. Look at our track record. We've had the second- or third-highest payroll in baseball for years. We've won more games over our first decade than any team in baseball except the Yankees. Our payroll's been higher than any team in baseball except the Yankees. We've reinvested not just into the ball team but into the ballpark, into scouting, player development. It seems to me that the body of work demonstrates that — and we have not taken one penny of profit distribution out of this club. Everything we've generated from these activities has been reinvested in the team, in the payroll, in the scouting, player development, amateur signings, foreign signings. We have taken the revenue that we have generated and put it back in this team, for the success of the team, the preservation of the ballpark. And I think that speaks for itself. I don't need to be out there saying, 'My goodness, we care more about winning than money.' It should be self-evident. It should be clear from our track record."

"This is good lemon bread. If you have a sweet tooth, go for the glaze. I didn't want a glaze so I did not add it and it was great on its own. If you live in a place where it is hard to find good lemons, use about 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice and you can buy dried lemon zest."
"Lemon curd poke cake is inspired. Poke cakes are awesome made with pudding. I am not fond of the jello kind. I love lemon curd. I really don't care too much about the meringue. If it were me, I would not bother. My family loves meringue though. If you have a stand mixer, making meringue is so easy."
"I have had a mushroom and chicken cobbler and it was so good. It had the same flavors except for biscuits on top instead of noodles. I am going to put this on my menu for the coming week. I can't wait to try this. I normally make my own noodles and I will see how that works in this."
"Yum! I love this dish. I really like that you can mix it up and put it in the fridge until the next morning when you want to bake it. This is the perfect size for my husband and I. Most recipes like this make a huge amount for a lot of people. If you have leftover ham, that is great to use."
"I love wild rice and I love chicken. The cheese was unexpected, but cheese is awesome so I just went with it. I did like the added broccoli and carrots. It just makes the meal complete and nutritious. It serves six, but it makes a big pan so it could serve more. I never thought to freeze leftover rice before."

Karen Palmer
Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences
E-Mail: email@example.com
Karen Palmer is an Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University and an independent health policy analyst and health services researcher. For the past 25 years, she has been involved in the practice of public health, mostly in health policy research and analysis, and health services planning, bridging theory and practice in a variety of public health settings. Karen joined the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in 2008 where she taught public health and comparative health policy, and coordinated the MPH practicum program until 2013.
Karen holds two graduate degrees in Public Health (MPH focusing on International/Global Health; MS focusing on Health Services, Policy, and Planning); and a Graduate Certificate in Urban and Regional Planning, all from the University of Hawaii (Manoa). Karen is currently the Principal Investigator of a 19-member international research team, where she is leading a CIHR-funded systematic review of the effects of activity-based funding in hospitals on cost, quality, access, equity, and efficiency.
Originally from Canada, Karen divided her time in 1984-2006 between Canada, the US, and Switzerland. As someone who lived with one foot on either side of the Canada-U.S. border for more than two decades, and in Europe for nearly three years, she brings a unique perspective to the practice of public health, health care financing and delivery systems, and international health policies.
From 2001-2004 she worked at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland, as a technical officer within both the Communicable Disease and the Non-Communicable Disease Branches. During that time she was a WHO liaison to representatives from the 22 high-burden countries — those countries that account for 80% of the global burden of TB — for planning related to global TB control. She compiled and analyzed the strategic planning data for, and co-authored, the Global Tuberculosis Control Report in 2002, 2003, and 2004. She also coordinated a study of human resources for health as they pertain to global TB control, and authored a strategic plan for scaling up the STEPwise approach to global non-communicable disease risk factor surveillance. She was at WHO when the SARS outbreak first occurred, and experienced first-hand the evolution of the global community's response to this new threat. She continues to follow with close interest the epidemiology of budding global epidemics and pandemics.
Karen lived in Hawaii from 1985-1995 where she worked as a Senior Health Planner for the Hawaii State Department of Health in the Office of Policy, Planning, and Program Development, focusing on Primary Care and Rural Health in the Hawaiian Islands. She later served as a consultant to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division at a time when Hawaii was under a "consent decree" to correct deficiencies in their children's mental health programs, and to other organizations including the Hawaii Nurses Association, the American Nurses Association, Hawaii Child and Family Service, and Utah State University, among others.
In the late 80s, she served as a clinic assistant and educator with the Marimed Foundation's multi-national health care team aboard a 156-foot triple-masted top-sail schooner, Tole Mour (meaning "gift of life and health"). This self-contained health services ship delivered primary care to the people of the Marshall Islands, the most remote coral atolls in the world, located in the heart of the Pacific Basin. She later returned to the Pacific to study the associations between rapid social change, prenatal care and, ultimately, birth outcomes in the indigenous people of Saipan, located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Karen's passion for more than two decades has been comparative international health care systems and health care system reform, with a particular interest in US, European, and Canadian health care policies. She serves as a board advisor to, and was a former board member of, the Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP); a progressive advocacy group dedicated to leading the U.S. toward a universal, publicly-funded, single-payer, national health program. Since returning to Canada in 2006, she has served as a policy adviser to Canadian Doctors for Medicare (CDM), working with them in their efforts to use evidence to strengthen Canada's Medicare system. In 2007, she was appointed Research Associate with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (British Columbia Office) where she collaborates with other researchers in Canada and the US on health care policy and health care systems research.

can someone remind me of basic mashed potato proportions, including how many spuds per guest?
2 pounds potatoes : 1 cup milk : 4 tablespoons butter : 1/3 cup heavy cream : 1 1/2 teaspoons salt -- Serves 6.
Remember for Thanksgiving lots of people aren't eating full "servings" of anything. So consider the volume of food before you do your proportions. :) Happy Cooking!!
Great point. But: leftovers!

Flash startup Pure Storage fights EMC in trade-secrets battle
A legal war between EMC and flash startup Pure Storage has escalated to charges of patent infringement and illegally obtaining a storage array to mine it for intellectual property.
A legal war between EMC and flash startup Pure Storage has escalated to charges of patent infringement and illegally obtaining a storage array to mine it for intellectual property.
EMC's long-awaited entry into all-flash storage arrays will finally get a full-fledged rollout next week, possibly setting the terms for mastery of the fledgling product category along the way.
EMC has sued Pure Storage for allegedly colluding with some of the storage giant's former employees to misappropriate and bring to the startup confidential EMC information and trade secrets, including lists and notes on current and potential customer...
EMC will give users of its Syncplicity file-sharing and synchronization service more control over how their data can be accessed and used, including the ability to make files "time out" on a certain date wherever they may be stored.
Strong earnings news from Internet and IT vendors gave a boost to tech stocks Friday, with Microsoft shares touching a six-year high.
The vendor gets aggressive about enterprise flash arrays, but faces challenges in the data center
EMC's VNX hybrid storage line is now built for flash first, with revamped software that can take full advantage of multicore processors, producing what the company calls a major boost in performance.
Apple, Microsoft, Google and Cisco are flush with cash, and so are many other tech companies
Boosting its portfolio of solid state storage technologies, EMC is acquiring ScaleIO, a purveyor of storage management software, for an undisclosed amount of cash.
With a new set of hardware and software releases, EMC is promising to simplify its customers' storage infrastructure by combining different types of operation into a single EMC system.
EMC is giving enterprises greater control over how corporate data gets distributed and to whom, plus more mobile capabilities, with the latest update to its Syncplicity service.
There may have been a few people who spat out their coffee the morning they read that EMC had unveiled what it called the "world's first" software-defined storage platform, EMC ViPR.
Global sales of external server storage have dropped for the first time since 2009, according to data from research firm IDC.
All that new data flowing into enterprises can bring along an expensive partner: multiple copies.
By now, it's become a tired old tech industry bromide: CIOs need to be business-savvy.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

So, your "I don't want to make an officer's job harder" and practical patience are the correct drivers of politely/maturely dealing with the situation.
Μολὼν λαβέ
I'm just one root in a grassroots organization. No one should assume that I speak for the VCDL.
I am neither an attorney-at-law nor I do play one on television or on the internet. No one should assumes my opinion is legal advice.
Veni, Vidi, Velcro
I am aware that I need to disclose to law enforcement, I just was unsure about a roadblock situation. Another reason I was unsure is because he didn't ask for any ID.
I felt he was rude because of his overall demeanor. When he asked why I feel the need to carry, he asked in a very rude way. It caught me off guard. I am never rude with an LEO because that makes the situation worse.
The German soldiers who were manning the ovens, they had a 'job to do' too.
If I recall correctly, and I am sure I am, the US Supreme Court had a ruling on the DUI check points no too long ago. They said the check points "probably" did violate the constitution, but they were going to allow them to continue because of the public good they did. Nice to see them admit they ignore the constitution and do as they please.
In the year before I came over I encountered 2 DUI check points because I worked till closing at a gun shop/range, and both times I rolled down the side window, turned on the dome lights and proceeded to stop point. One asked "Where are you going" and the other "Where are you coming from"; both got the same answer "No officer, I have not been drinking tonight". Where are you going grinned like he got me and said "That's not the question I asked" I said "I know what you asked but that is the only answer you'll get, and it is really what you wanted to know isn't it?" He gave me a dirty look and waved me on. Where are you coming from just smiled and said "have a nice night". Funny thing, neither one asked for my papers.
For those that say "Well it helps catch the bad guys"; so would going around the county kicking in doors and searching for meth. The question is, just how much freedom are we are willing to sacrifice to catch the bad guys? Evidently "papers please" on the road is OK with a lot of people.
Man some of you people are long winded. I've never had a cop (or anyone else for that matter) ask me why I carry but my answer will be "Because I want to."
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
My statement was "A lot of..." What is incorrect about that? Would it be safe to say that "at least" 1,000 LEOs in the US think civilians shouldn't be allowed to CC? That to me is a lot.Please do not make blanket statements about LEO's.Actually, statistically your job is 14th on the most dangerous list, behind parks & rec workers, electricians, roofers, etc. The authority you have means we get to expect more of you. If my roofer has a bad day, my roof leaks. If you have a bad say somebody may die or have their constitutional rights violated.We do have a job that is dangerous, and puts us around bad people on a regular basis, but this does not give us permission to be hateful.
At least in FL., We Do Not Have to notify ; ) Been through about 5 in the last 35 years. The last one I came through was during the afternoon Had DL/Ins & Reg. in hand the oficer said "Just licence" Never took em, Just looked at em ; )
Sometimes you'll run into a LEO that Just got on a 12hr shift & can be a little Cranky That's how it goes, Driving is a Privleage Not a Right.
As far as ?#1 is the norm ?#2 Well would never Or Has Never came up, Just
Got to love N/FL.
A Native Floridian = RARE
Now for my 2 cents.
I have a friend who is a police officer in Florida and at times he can appear to have that that surly attitude. It is because he deals with people who have bad attitudes towards Law Enforcement much of the time and it gets old. I think I would do the same, or probably much worse, but that's just me.
I know, I deal with the public on a regular basis with my job at the County Assessor and people just don't like anybody who has ties to Government. I too have used a curt, short and professional sounding voice with a bit of smart aleck thrown in due to the stupidity of those who are talking to me and acting like I just shot their best friend. If they have a problem with LEO's and the like, then it's usually their problem not the officer.
This LEO was probably tired, had dealt with people who do not like road blocks or check points or just LEO's in general doing their job and it just so happend that when the OP came along, it was the last straw most likely.

I for one don't get offended when someone LEO or not asks "Why do you carry a gun?" I just don't let it bother me and just let it go.

When I was stopped by LE I notified him I have CCW permit, and that I did have a gun while my hands remained on the steering wheel in plain sight.
His only question to me was "where is the gun?" (reasonable question I thought).
My answer to 'why do you carry a gun?', if it would have been asked, is the simple answer to the question__to defend myself and my family against a deadly threat___.

US CERT warns Operation SnowMan hackers are unstoppable
Computer emergency response team says Microsoft vulnerability is still being exploited
The US Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has said it is yet to find a way to fix or protect against the recently discovered Operation SnowMan hackers.
The Operation SnowMan campaign was uncovered by security firm FireEye last week, when researchers spotted hackers trying to infiltrate US military veterans' website VFW.org.
The attack leveraged vulnerabilities in the Microsoft.XMLDOM ActiveX control to break into systems and siphon data, as explained in the CERT advisory.
"Microsoft.XMLDOM is an ActiveX control that can run in Internet Explorer without requiring any prompting to the user. This object contains methods that can leak information about a computer system to the operator of a website.
"By looking at error codes provided by the XMLDOM ActiveX control, an attacker can check for the presence of local drive letters, directory names, files, as well as internal network addresses or websites."
Despite being uncovered, CERT confirmed: "This vulnerability is actively being used by exploit code in the wild. We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem."
It is currently unclear when a patch fixing the vulnerabilities being exploited by Operation SnowMan hackers will be released, though FireEye researchers confirmed in a blog post that "Microsoft is aware and they are working on a fix ASAP".
Operation SnowMan is listed as following a similar exploit strategy to the notorious DeputyDog hack campaign. The campaign targeted public-sector organisations and companies in defence, law, IT and mining in 2013.
The campaign is one of several advanced threats discovered this year. Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (Great) uncovered dangerous advanced malware, codenamed Mask, earlier in February. The Mask campaign is believed to have infected 380 governments and businesses across 31 countries including the UK.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DMDay Just Prefect I was looking for a small area rug that would complement my family room but wasn't quite sure exactly what color I wanted, After looking through the latest Grandin Road catalog I found the perfect rug that had all the accent colors of my furniture but the deciding factor was the navy blue background. My family room is bright and colorful. What a great buy, I truly love the transformation. November 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Buckheadgirl Beautiful rug....jury still out I got this rug and love it. Works great in my new condo, however, am not sure yet how it is going to hold up under traffic and general use. I have two cats and they seem to be pulling up the loops and the rug is showing some additional wear under very light traffic in the first few weeks, which I did not expect. Still love it and hope it does ok. June 18, 2014

As of September 9th, 2015 at 12:30 PM EST Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in British history. On this day she officially opened the new £294m Scottish Borders Railway. Queen Elizabeth II surpasses the 63 years and 216 day reign of her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria (who reigned from 20 June 1837 to 22 January 1901). During Queen Elizabeth II's reign Canada has had eleven prime ministers.
Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, marking the sixty-year anniversary of her reign as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952 after the death of her father, King George VI.
After a suitable mourning period, her coronation took place over one year later on June 2, 1953. Over 8000 people attended the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and almost 3 million more lined the streets of London in celebration. Queen Elizabeth's coronation was the first ceremony to be televised, and was watched by another 20 million people all over the world.
Queen Elizabeth II is the second monarch to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee; Queen Victoria was the first to do so in 1897. Elizabeth has lived longer than any other British monarch, and her reign is the longest in Commonwealth history, surpassing Queen Victoria's sixty-three year reign in September 2015.
The Queen first visited Canada as Princess Elizabeth in 1951. She made her first visit as Queen in 1957, when she and Prince Philip opened Canada's twenty-third Parliament. Two years later, the couple completed an extensive tour of Canada in which they visited every province and territory. She visited Canada in 1977 to celebrate her Silver Jubilee, and again in 2002 for her Golden Jubilee.
The Queen has been present for many momentous occasions in Canadian history. Such occasions include the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, Canada's Centennial celebrations in 1967, the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and the signing of Trudeau's Constitution Act in 1982. The Queen has made twenty-two official tours of Canada to date — more than any other Commonwealth nation.
Diamond Jubilee celebrations took place across Canada in 2012. As well, In honour of the Queen, Canada distributed sixty thousand Diamond Jubilee medals. Medals were awarded to Canadians who have demonstrated dedication in serving their fellow citizens, their community, and their country. Recipients also included those who made a significant contribution to Canada or to their community.

On March 13, 2014, with a collection of American workers standing behind him, President Obama signed a memorandum directing the Secretary of Labor, Thomas Perez, to "propose revisions to modernize and streamline the existing overtime regulations."
The Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. ("FLSA"), proscribes rules regarding minimum wage, child labor, and overtime. Non-exempt employees are normally entitled to at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour they work in excess of 40 in a given work week. Regulations governing the administrative, professional, and executive exemptions are commonly known as the "white collar exemptions" and are contained in 29 C.F.R., Part 541. Employees that are paid at least $455 per week on a salary basis ($23,660 per year) and fall within the duties test of one of the white collar exemptions are not entitled to overtime pay. Other statutory exemptions may also apply.
On the heels of President Obama's executive order raising the minimum wage for those employees of government contractors to $10.10/hour, it seems clear that the proposed revisions will likely be primarily aimed at making it easier for employees to obtain overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week. The memorandum, however, also directs Secretary Perez to "address the changing nature of the workplace" and try to make the regulations easier for employers and employees to understand.
President George W. Bush's administration revised many of the regulations in 29 C.F.R. Part 541 under the moniker "FairPay" to simplify the regulations. Despite the 2004 overhaul, misclassifying employees as exempt under one of the white collar exemptions remains one of the common pitfalls into which employers fall.
The Department of Labor will likely propose increasing the salary basis threshold for being considered an exempt employee. The Labor Department may also reconsider the duties that workers perform that direct whether they fall within one of the exemptions.
The March 13 memorandum is just a first step in a long process of revising the regulations related to overtime. Once the DOL proposes a rule, there will be a period during which various parties can comment on the proposed regulations. Thereafter, the DOL will revise the rules based on the comments received, await the OMB's clearance, and then issue final rules.
Changes in the overtime exemptions will have significant impact on employers. I will keep you abreast of developments regarding the proposed overtime regulations as they arise.

Kristin Brown Explains What Buyers Are Looking For
The Home Office. More and more people are working from home – a great relief for the nation's carbon footprint. With technological innovation on the rise, there is a decreased need to "go into the office." The practice of calling into meetings via phone and video is seeing a rapid increase. So today's home office must incorporate plenty of electrical power and wireless access.
The Casual Media Room. Gone is the era of the enormous home theater. These days, families like to hunker down in cozier conditions. Smaller rooms with large, pull-down screens are more flexible than a dedicated theater. And for families with teenagers? It may be time to create a teenage lounge with multimedia capabilities. Many parents like to have "teenage space" at home in order to keep an eye on their kids' activities.
Main Floor Master Suite. Yes, these have been popular for a while, but with a population that's growing older, a main floor master is more attractive than ever. Roomy, accessible shower stalls are a modern alternative to the traditional combination shower and bath.
Energy Efficiency. This is a concept that has been around for decades, but is now, deservedly, gaining more and more attention. Remember those 1970's half-hearted solar roof panels? They were a great start, but they're now being replaced by energy-efficient appliances, sustainable materials, and cost-effective heating systems.
Technology. Music aficionados have never had it better. Long gone are the days of bulky sound systems. Connectivity is the name of the game, from surround sound to whole-house sound solutions with discreet speakers that blend into the decor.
Storage. From bathroom linen closets to walk-in kitchen pantries, the modern homeowner is looking for plenty of storage. And why not? With the preponderance of bulk stores, it's easier to then ever to get a good deal on large amounts of items at low cost – but there needs to be somewhere to store all those great deals.
The Great Outdoors. When it comes to "getting away from it all," families are increasingly turning to their own back yards. In today's busy workplace, not only do Americans take less time for genuine vacations, but they don't tend to go far away if there is comfortable nearby space for a "staycation."
Convenience. Homeowners have always looked for most sleek and convenient solutions, and today's homes incorporate easy-to-use appliances and systems that can be accessed remotely by smart phones and tablets. Forgot to turn down the heat before you left on vacation? No worries. Now you can do it on your way to the airport with just a touch of the button.
Although there are always new trends to consider in real estate, every house has its charm and there will never be a "one-size-fits-

Back to the FutureCorrespondence Friends Curiosities Bicycles Art & Design Monthly highlights
In 1957 Roland Barthes published 'Mythologies' , a collection of essays .. the best known is "The New Citroën" the "Goddess". The Citroën DS 19 replaced the Citroën Traction Avant, the Citroën Traction Avant was old fashioned... pre World War 2 tech and styling. The DS according to Barthes was perfection. The DS was perfection of Modernism, the high watermark of French design and ethos. World War 2 was in the history books along with the old aesthetics of the La Belle Époque "Beautiful Era" and Art Nouvos. The Citroën DS was the future manifest in an object. French style, aesthetics engineering was at its height... for me it was a high point for French'e'ness, French bicycles and bicycles in general. Just like now the cars of Citroën were "conceived with passion by unknown artists "... the bicycles of the time ( like now ) were named. In 1957 if you were wealthy enough or obsessed enough you went to a Constructeur for your bicycle needs. A Constructeur was an Artisan working in an Atelier, builders like Alex Singer and René Herse. The constructeurs manufactured in the way cars were built before Henry Ford. No production line, the Bicycles were crafted, bespoke and above all an expression of Modernism, a refined Modernism, and to my mind a wonderful expression of the Modernist period. In 1957 the ' future' had arrived and it was not just the Citroën DS that demonstrated people were living in the future, the bicycle in France was also this expression. Reynolds factory, a wonderful place spanning the history of the Bicycle. The French constructeurs loved Reynolds, 531 was the gold standard of the ' modern ' age, and Reynolds, like Caren, work with that history and bring it up to date with current technologies. Reynolds kindly gave us 931 tubing, which for me embodies the constructeur ethos... Reynolds tubes literally come out of the same machines that the tubes of the constructeurs came from.
