Part or all of it may be automated. Workflow design: elements 1 (1) Workflow – design elements Task What needs to be done at this stage of the process write thesis, convert documents to PDF, submit thesis, do quality control, secure documents, approve submitted thesis Role The set of knowledge/skills/responsibilities which is needed to perform and complete the task familiarity with PDF conversion software, knowledge of the linking capabilities, awareness of the institution's rules, could be the responsibility of either the author (student) or someone in the etd office or an outside person who will be paid by the student Workflow design: elements 2 (2) Workflow – design elements Trigger The event which alerts you to the incoming task thesis approved by examining body Information Necessary to complete the task institution's rules (practical interpretation of policy) and standards, guidelines for doing the task Workflow analysis: Workflow – designelements elements3(3) Added Value The positive change that was brought about by performing the task and which is the actual reason for doing the task readability, navigation, dependable format for archiving Condition The status of the etd after the task was performed PDF document with good navigation complying with the standards of the organization Workflow analysis: Workflow – designelements elements4(4) Route The direction of the flow and the "vehicle" after completion it will be submitted either online to the etd system and/or on a disk to the faculty's post-grad office Service Level Agreement Agreed upon standards and time frames etds are processed according to a priority system Message To be distributed after completing the task no messages Workflow for UPeTD submission 2007 Supervisor approves Student converts Fac Admin approve PDF Deliver bound copies and CDs to UPeTD office Student self-submits M M Upload and compile metadata Acknowledge & Quality control M PDF+ Metadata WWW WorldCat Check, acknowledge, sort UPeTD Server SACat Library Catalogue Archive Publish CD New policy on restricted theses: record of metadata only – bound copy and CD stored off-line in a safe location for 2 years Three good–reasons take Workflow seriously Workflow take itto seriously 1. Resource constraints will necessitate a high level of efficiency. 2. Uneven inflow (typical of TDs) needs to be balanced with service level agreements for smooth output and priority demands. 3. Design workflow in co-operation with other role players – try to make it part of a bigger flow. 4. Work towards automated workflow as far as possible. 5. Work towards simplicity and the shortest routes. More about service level agreements Service level agreements are formal or informal 'contracts' describing the expectations between parties and the way in which these will be fulfilled what service will be rendered what will it cost when (how soon) will it be done how will you be informed how will a breakdown in service be corrected Automating Workflow Automated workflow(cont) An automated workflow system should facilitate the process in the following ways Notify a participant that work is at hand (eg by email) Provide the user with the proper tools to do the work Provide the tool with the necessary information already flowing Allow the participant to see where his task fits in Alert the participant to incomplete tasks Automated workflow built into the ETD-db system helps the student to complete the submission task in the correct order and with the necessary tools and information available. ETD admin staff are alerted to the appearance of newly submitted etds as well as messages from students Functionality for quality control an approval is available on the system. When the etd is approved a message will be sent to the student, the supervisor and all other role players Resources (1) Human resources Administration: records management, interfacing with other role players Secretarial: document conversion, submission Management: planning, resourcing, lobbying, quality control, interfacing with other role players Metadata creation Client service: workshops, training, support, marketing, end user support Resources (2) Human resources IT: system configuration, installation of upgradings, programming, system improvement, problem solving, maintenance, etc. Depending on university policy this may be the responsibility of the University's IT Department.

(Photo by Mark Warnken) Council may skip planned investigation By MARK WARNKEN Stall Writer The New Braunfels City Council appears to have abandoned plans for the previously approved independent professional investigation of alleged wrongdoing by the city manager and council members. In a Sept. 30 public meeting, the council unanimously voted for an outside investigation of allegations of improper conduct against City Manager Paul Grohman and all council members after an executive session attended by Ute full council. In a statement published earlier this month, Mayor Janies Goodbread said council members informally had agreed that hiring a private outside agency such as a law firm would be KH) costly to taxpayers and that die city would seek an official governmental agency outside Comal County to conduct the investigation if possible. But council members apparently reversed course after a two-hour Oct. 7 executive session scheduled to decide the charges lo be investigated and determine whether a public agency or private firm would conduct the investigation. Goodbread, in a pre flared statement that evening, said no action would be taken on the agenda items, "There is a consensus in a positive direction. There will be discussion arid action items on the agenda for the (XT. 14 regular meeting in regards to these matters," Goodbread said. On Monday, this "positive consensus" was revealed to involve the resignations of both Grohman and Good-brcad. The investigation was not mentioned on the agenda. The ongoing dispute involving Grohman that divided the council healed up during a four-hour executive session on Sqit. ll, after which the council voted 4-3 to retain Grohman. During that executive session, the council questioned department heads By MARK WARNKEN Staff Writer After meeting behind closed doors for three hours Monday night, the New Braunfels City Council accepted the resignations of City Manager Paul Grohman and Mayor James Good-brcad, apparently ending a divisive monthlong council dispute. Mayor Pro Tem Ramon Chapa Jr. read their separate resignation statements after the council reconvened in public session in the council chambers before a standing-room-only crowd of about 150 residents and city employees. Both resignations were effective immediately. In his statement, Goodbread, who has served as mayor since his unanimous election by the council in May, said he plans to finish his current thrcc-ycar council term. Goodbread was first elected to his at-large council scat in 1984. "Last Monday evening following the executive session, I announced that the council had reached a consensus and we were moving in u positive direction. A part of the consensus agreement was my promise to resign as mayor," Goodbread wrote. "Of course, I shall retain my council member position; and, as always, as a member of your council, I shall continue to serve Ute public with all the vigor, intellect, honor and respect I have. You deserve no less," he wrote. Council Member Rudy Seidel said Goodbread, a diabetic, was in a hospital because of illness and was unable to attend the meeting. "With all the strain and stress that he's been under the past couple weeks, his body chemistry just went off, and he's in bad shape," Seidel said. After a motion by Council Member Clinton Brandi and a second by Seidel, the council voted unanimously to accept Goodbread's resignation. Also voting were Council Members Loraine Kraft, Rill Arnold and Paul Fraser. Chapa then read a terse statement by Grohman. "I resign, effective immediately, because of the division of the council and hope this will benefit the community and my family," Grohnurn's statement said. Many audience members applauded after Chapa read Groh-man's statement. Hie council then unanimously accepted his resignation. Grohman was hired in April 1988 al ter serving as city manager in Rocklin for three years. Before Rockport, Grohman served as city manager ol Denver City, Texas, in Yoakum County from 1983 to 1985. The city manager most recently canted an annual base salary of $60,000 plus a yearly $8,400 expense allowance and $ I .(XX) for professional dues. Alter the meeting, Chapa said die final agreement behind Grohman's resignation involved several months of severance pay and insurance and retirement benefits until Grohman secures new employment but not the purchase of his New Braunfels home.

Francisco Nogucs Mcndoz. 35, was residing at a house in the 2(X) block of South Plum Street when the shooting occurred. He was pronounced dead at McKenna Memorial Hospital by Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace R O. "Doc" Blanchard. An autopsy by the Travis County Medical Examiner's office confirmed the cause of death to be gunshot wounds, police said. Mendez was shot once in the upper abdomen. "We don't know if it was an unplanned killing or intentional," said Cape. Ray Douglas, New Braunfels Police Department. "Right now we're treating it as intentional." "We feel that (the actors) entered die house through a front door and attempted to rob or did rob the occupants," said Sgt John McEachern, NBP!). At die time of the incident there were four occupants of the residence, all of whom were citizens of Mexico, Douglas said Witnesses at the scene stated that two unidentified Hispanic males entered the residence wearing masks and brandishing handguns and that one of them shot the victim while demanding money, police said. "We dcfimiely feel thai ihe shorn mg had taken place inside the house," McEachern said. New Braunfels Emergency Medical Service units were first dispatched to the scale at 12:22 a m. in regards to a reponcd shooting victim "Evidence was collected at the scene," McEachern said. "The type of weapon has not yet been determined." Detectives will continue the investigation into the ease which is potentially the city's second murder of 1991.

Hill Sims and State Rep. Edmund Kuempel address the slate education funding situation. "The meeting tonight was requested by many of the taxpayers at our tax hearing," said Joe Rogers, Comal Independent School District Superintendent. "We are where we are tonight due to a lot of people, not just Rep. Kuempel and Sen. Sims." "I have 80 school districts in my district and have about 15-20 rich districts," Sims said. "This vole that we had to make on (Senate Bill) 351 was the hardest one I've ever made. I did not want a school master telling us how to run our schools in T exas. I think you see what happened to oui prisons, we're under total domination in prisons, we're under total doiiuna lion in Menud Health-Mental Retar dation. We cannot do anything unless we ask ihe federal government how to do it. I felt like that was not acceptable we had to ti y to do it ourselves " The alternative to ihe school fund mg situation would have been a court appointed master who would have lux] die flower to consolidate districts and albinal ily set the lax rate as he saw fit. "I will firedict thai we are going lo sec a total state program and that will be funded probably by an income tax and I don't like dial a danged bit belter than you do but folks, we're going to have to decide which way we're going to go," Suns said. "I feel like oui children are getting the best education money can buy. I would put our school system up against anybody " Sims added dun the recent census indicated that the Terns population lias increased by three million people. For each million people it costs $1.5 billion "to lake care of them." he said Leading a forum on education funding are, second from left, State Rep. Edmund Kuempie, State Sen.

OSiM 2008: Linux Mobile Phones on the March Forward
The leading hardware and software vendors are currently meeting at the world's largest mobile-specific Open Source conference to network about the future of the industry. Linux Magazine Online is there to present news on the progress.
Yesterday in Berlin, the third annual OSiM World conference opened on the theme "Open Source in Mobile." In two tracks over two days, the discussion focused mainly on the strategic role of Linux as the basis for future mobile devices. High among the arguments is that Linux usage on mobile phones will multiply significantly over the next years. Apart from touting this obvious opportunity, the first day's presentations were largely concerned with the risk of technological fragmentation, or the feared proliferation of different systems that, in the end, can only cause woes for developers.
On the one hand is the LiMo Foundation with over 50 companies as members, from mobile phone vendors such as Samsung and Motorola, and chip manufacturers such as Marvell, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, to carriers such as Vodafone, Orange and DoCoMO out of Japan. On the other hand are its competitors in the Open Handset Alliance that are concentrating on the new Android mobile phone platform driven by Google. As yet, there are no devices that support the Android platform, although a mobile phone from HTC should become available in the U.S. market around October. Interestingly, many Open Handset Alliance members have concurrent membership in LiMo.
The Moblin community also plays an active part, albeit their preference for the larger Internet Tablets or Mobile Internet Devices. A driving force behind Moblin is chip maker Intel. In the same market segment is the Maemo platform from Nokia that is pioneering the use of Linux for its N770 and N800 Internet Tablets.
The summations to the presentations were mixed, if not optimistic. Fragmentation was still a concern – much like Java for mobile devices – but there was a consensus that the problem should resolve itself with time. Developers who most suffer under these conditions are small, independent ones without sufficient resources to provide their software on multiple platforms.
Beside the more strategically directed presentations at the OSiM conference were a range of workshops where companies such as ACCESS, Google, Motorola and Intel could present themselves in the best light.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
The first independent poll in the California house race between Jerry McNerney and Richard Pombo (R-Ca) shows McNerney leading Pombo 48% to 46%. With a margin of error of plus or minus 3%, that makes the race a virtual dead heat. Previous polling by the McNerney campaign and environmental groups produced similar results but Pombo remains blissfully optimistic. As Pombo spokesman Brian Kennedy said of the poll, "I don't believe it [Pombo] will win."
Read my interview with Jerry McNerney here, where he says of Pombo, "It's time to get rid of him and put a responsible government back in Washington."

Road crews deposit salt on highways to melt snow during the winter months. The salt, along with roadway grime, accumulates on aluminum wheels, dulling the polish and shine of the rims. The wheel rims require regular cleaning, as long-term exposure to road salt can damage the aluminum surface. Wash the rims using products that not only clean the grime from the surface, but add shine to the aluminum as well.
Things You'll Need
- Garden hose
- Aluminum wheel cleaner
- Bucket
- Cheesecloth
- Lint-free cloth
Spray the aluminum wheels with a garden hose. Rinse as much of the salt and grime from the wheels as possible.
Spray the aluminum wheels with an aluminum wheel cleaning product. Spray the entire surface of the rim area generously. Allow the cleaner to remain on the surface for 10 to 15 minutes.
Fill a bucket with warm water. Rub the aluminum wheel with a damp, lint-free cheesecloth. Rinse the cheesecloth in the bucket as you remove the salt and grime from the aluminum rim. Dump out the dirty water in the bucket and replace it with fresh water as you clean all four rims.
Rinse the aluminum wheels with the garden hose. Dry the rims with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Thank you for these photos. While renting, I always grumbled about white walls...I longed to have my own place where I could add color to them. Now that I have my own place and have painted the walls (a light yellow with an orange accent wall), I realize, especially looking at your posts, that I rather like white walls!! :D

Totally disagree with half of this review. I just came from a Note 2, and the screen on the HTC One Maxx is better, bigger, and more satisfying to hold in my hand. It's heavier than the Note 3, but it doesn't feel like it is. I think HTC Sense has come a long way and this is the first phone I've had in years where I won't be using the ADW Launcher EX. I love the Blink Feed. The sound is great, though some apps start with a nasty buzzing sound; I may return it and try another unit. I am pissed off that my IT Dept has a stringent security policy that, apparently, won't let me take advantage of the fingerprint scanner - which is half the reason I bought the phone (!!!). So I don't have to enter a password every time I turn the phone on. But... maybe they'll change.
That my good sir, is when rooting/romming comes in handy, or you could try to factory reset/RUU it and any corporate blocks will be overwritten :)
Actually, I have rooted my phones many times in the past. Since I wrote this post, I tried an old app I used to use for Exchange email and it worked great; No more forcing me to put in a password every time I turn on the phone. Since, I think protecting a phone is a good idea, I use an app called Disable Lock, (something like that), which lets me use my phone at home all day, connected to my wifi, and only asks for a password when Il eave the house. I also returned and exchanged the phone and have no buzzing sound anymore; So I;'m ah happy camper. :)
Zoes are awesome. Go to an event, snap like 20 of them and then go into the gallery and you have a ready-made video. I've used it quite a bit and friends are always impressed with the videos and the editing quality.
Great Display, i just wander about movie playback
Avoid like the plague! In 3 months I have had 5 faults, returned it twice, last time took 21 days! Promised a call by HTC "Escalations" twice and no one has bothered to contact me. Power socket failed, auto brightness not working, speakers distorting, microphone poor, and random crashes followed by it switching itself on when jsut sitting on a desk. Add to that appalling battery life and poor build quality.
htc one M8 is best calling phone.Loudspeaker is excellent
I bought HTC One Max just before one month and With its 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and its 16 GB internal memory everything is awesome. HTC One Max is equipped with 1.7 GHz and Android 4.3 Jellybean operating system that is really too good.

text: LONDON, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynyard Group, the specialists in intelligence-led software solutions for protecting companies and countries from threat, crime and corruption, has appointed Nevin Grieve to the newly created role of VP Government. Grieve will continue to be based in London, with responsibility for global markets. Grieve will use his extensive intelligence technology experience and knowledge of the public sector to help drive growth in Wynyard's Government business. Wynyard Group CEO Craig Richardson, said Wynyard is looking forward to Nevin joining the team to help continue the momentum of Wynyard's success in the public sector and further position the company at the forefront of the global technology fight against crime, corruption and threat. "Nevin's reputation in the global law enforcement, borders and intelligence markets precedes him. He understands the challenges government agencies in these areas face and has built a solid reputation in understanding the drivers and underlying needs for smart solutions. "We're delighted to have attracted someone with Nevin's deep knowledge of particularly the UK, US, Australian and Canadian government sectors and someone who strongly believes our intelligence-led risk management solutions are making a difference," said Richardson. Grieve is the latest addition to Wynyard's global team that in recent months has attracted talent from the world's leading government intelligence and law enforcement agencies excited by the company's solutions and growth prospects. These appointments coupled with strategic alliances in different markets such as its partnership with leading global security company, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC), further positions Wynyard as world class global provider of intelligence-led risk management solutions. Grieve said that it was Wynyard's success as well as his belief in the benefits delivered from its cohesive, linked risk management, intelligence and investigations software solutions that connect the dots and close the loop on threat, crime and corruption that convinced him to seek a career with Wynyard.

But Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin navigated the theatrics Monday to put the first witness on the stand. Ahmed Hassan Mohammed said he was taken to an interrogation room in Baghdad, where he saw a meat grinder speckled with human hair and blood.
Saddam and seven co-defendants are charged with the murder of more than 140 villagers in the mostly Shiite Muslim town of Dujail following a failed assassination attempt on the former Iraqi dictator there in 1982. Monday was the third day of the trial.
Mohammed also provided the court with gruesome descriptions of electric-shock torture. The court had earlier heard videotaped testimony from a former government official.
Saddam's strategy appears to be to disrupt the proceedings and call into question the court's legitimacy. At one point in the session, the team of defense lawyers walked out of the courtroom in protest after Amin would not allow statements about the court's legitimacy. The defense team, joined by former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark, also complained that they weren't receiving enough protection.
"Are you forcing lawyers on us?" Saddam demanded of Amin as his lawyers filed out.
Saddam and his half-brother Barzan Ibrahim, Iraq's former intelligence chief, then stood and chanted, "Long live Iraq! Long live the Arab state!"
After a 90-minute recess, Amin allowed the defense attorneys to address the court and then called Mohammed to the podium.
"You had to expect Saddam will try to use the trial as a platform for making political statements, much in the way (former Yugoslav president Slobodan) Milosevic is using his trial," said Derek Gilman, a Stamford, Conn., lawyer who as a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel in 2003 helped write the law under which the trial is being held. "This shows the judge is not going to let himself be distracted by banter."
In a fiery and at times tearful delivery, Mohammed described how intelligence agents raided his home in the middle of the night and took him away. As helicopter gunships thundered overhead, Mohammed, then 15, said he saw the bodies of nine acquaintances dead in a field.
He said more than 500 men, women and children, including members of his family, were taken to the Hakimiya intelligence complex in Baghdad.
There he said he saw the meat grinder. His brother, then 17, was tortured with electric shocks and beaten in front of his 77-year-old father. He lost some of his toes during the beating.
Mohammed described seeing Saddam and Ibrahim during the interrogations, implicating both by name. "I swear on God, I will never forget these moments," said Mohammed, who at times glared at them.

"If you believe that access to high quality, affordable urgent care that is convenient is something that should be determined by patients and health care consumers instead of insurance companies, you can support this cause," said Dr.
BlueCross also will knock
In the
In some ways, the business decision made by BlueCross is similar to when cable television providers decide not to offer a certain network -- except it involves the administration of health care rather than the ability to watch a favorite program.
One twist is that BlueCross BlueShield owns
"It's the shot across the bow," said
BlueCross spokeswoman
Shrinking provider networks were a major factor in last year's rollout of the federal insurance marketplace policies through the Affordable Care Act. Many people signing up for those policies discovered their family physician or the hospital nearest their home wasn't in-network. People covered by insurance are free to use out-of-network providers, but they will pay more for those services.
In their Code Blue Bulletin issued in June, BlueCross did offer a comment on the issue: "In the past 10 years, we have seen rapid expansion of
MEDcare said its leaders met with BlueCross executives to discuss the change and were told it wasn't related to cost, quality, convenience or access. Hallaba, who said MEDcare hasn't had a rate increase in six years, was left with few reasons to consider.
"It's harder and harder for me to think one hand doesn't know what the other is doing," Hallaba said, referring to BlueCross' financial interest in Doctors Care's success. He noted only two privately owned companies were impacted and wondered, "if you're looking at this as a global thing, is that all you're doing."
Hallaba decided to ask the public to join the discussion via the petition because BlueCross BlueShield is technically a mutual company, owned by its members/customers. He hopes many of them will respond, making it easier for him to change some minds when he meets again next week with BlueCross officials.

Yes or no: teenagers' opinions on Scottish referendum – in pictures
Scotland's government has dropped the voting age to 16 for this year's referendum on independence. Two opinion polls and Reuters interviews with 25 Scottish teenagers in 10 different locations suggest the ruling Scottish National party (SNP) cannot be sure of their support in the 18 September referendum. Overall, polls show Scots remain doubtful about separation, although the proportion of those supporting independence has increased over the past year.

The coffee is reputedly "dead good", but that may have more to do with the location than the quality of the beverages on offer. Café Strauss is Berlin's latest cemetery café.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a country that has the lowest birth rate and one of the most elderly populations in the world, the phenomenon is becoming increasingly popular.
Set in the middle of a graveyard in Berlin's alternative Kreuzberg district, Café Strauss combines the austerity of a morgue with the serene atmosphere of a church: it has white walls, square pillars and high, arched windows looking out on to a broad vista of tombstones.
It serves tea, coffee and cakes to a mixed clientele made up of people visiting the graves of deceased relatives, and local residents and tourists in search of tranquillity. "There were some people who were concerned that their relatives wouldn't be able to rest in peace," admitted Martin Strauss, the manager who opened the café in May this year.
Now he claims the venue has become so popular that some visitors have even applied for grave lots that are in full view of the café's terrace. The notion that cemeteries should be silent refuges off limits to all but the dead and the bereaved is clearly passé.
As a recent Café Strauss customer remarked in the visitors' book: "This place creates a wonderful connection between the world of the living and the dead.."
Café Strauss is Berlin's second graveyard café. Small wonder that plans are afoot to open two more.Reuse content

Jasper: Searching
I hate forests. I thought to myself as I struggled through yet another clump of bushes. Everything ached, my feet hurt from tramping over rough ground, my arms and body hurt from moving branches and getting slapped by leaves, my head hurt because of the noise coming from the small army I was leading. I sat down on a stump heavily, I was not going to go any further into this blasted place tonight.
"Make camp!" I ordered. The men hurried to gather branches for fires, set up tents and pull out provisions for dinner. We had not stopped in a clearing, so they were scattered among the trees. Soon, five cooking fires had been set up, and the smell of coffee and meat stew was rising into the canopy. I took a loaf of hard bread and a bowl of the stew before anyone else, then went back to my stump to eat it.
"Sir, look, a light in the distance." A young soldier said coming up to me with a mug of coffee in his hand, pointing with the other. "Looks like someone made camp up there." I took the coffee and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing.
"Look at that." I said, sipping at the dark brew in my mug. "Consider it noted, now get out of here." The young soldier dashed away, back to his tent. A camp, up the mountain from me. It was a fortunate development. I finished my meal slowly, keeping an eye on the distant fire the entire time, then, I roused my stiff limbs and set off in that direction, going silently as I had been taught. It was the best way to hunt Elves.

New Delhi/Hyderabad: Faced with the spectre of continuing violence in Seemandhra and Ralayaseema regions, the Congress-led UPA government may be left with no other option than to impose President's Rule in Andhra Pradesh.
Officially, the Congress remained non-committal on the possibility. AICC spokesperson Bhakt Charan Das said, "Aisa samay nahi, jab ayega to sochenge (Such a time has not come, we will think about it when the situation arises)."
The central government also conveyed to Andhra Pradesh High Court that it would exercise the option if it feels that the state is unable to handle the situation.
The Congress has reasons to be cautious on imposition of central rule in the state and may opt to wait and watch for now. However, with YSR Congress' Jaganmohan Reddy and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on hunger strikes, the Congress may have very little time left to prevent the situation from turning for the worse.
Also, party leaders from Seemandhra and Rayalaseema regions have remained adamant on their demand for a united Andhra despite the efforts made by the Congress high command to address their concerns.
What makes the situation trickier for the Congress is the open defiance being exhibited by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy. He is against the bifurcation of the state and may turn out to be the rallying point for all those who are opposed to the idea.
Reddy said that the Congress will be wiped out in Seemandhra if Telangana is formed and warned that the state's division would lead to water wars. "Politicians are answerable to people and if they don't act accordingly people will reject them," he said.
As per reports, his supporters want him to launch a new party to which Reddy said that he will prefer to first see how the situation pans out in the coming days before breaking away.
Adding fuel to the fire is the possibility of many central and state ministers, MPs and state legislators resigning en masse to protest the formation of Telangana.
However, if indications from Delhi are anything to go by, the UPA government remains determined to go ahead with creation of Telangana.
Union Minister of State for Home RPN Singh said, "The government is not going to reconsider the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and creation of Telangana. The ongoing protests in the name of a united Andhra are being led by political parties which had in the past supported the idea of a new state. This is very unfortunate."
Singh was referring to the protests by Jaganmohan Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu as both of them had, in the initial stages, supported creation of Telangana but backtracked later.
Total shutdown in Seemandhra
Meanwhile, there is no let up in public protests in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions. Indefinite strike by government employees, transport workers and teacher has completely paralysed normal life in the regions.
What has made it worse for the people is the near total disruption in power supply due to the indefinite strike by Andhra's power unions.
The Centre has reasons to be worried as the power shutdown may spur shutdown of other essential services.
Already hospitals and train services in the region have been severely crippled due to the power blackout. The airport in Vishakhapatnam has also been hit due to the shutdown and is now running on backup power supply.
With tempers running high in the region, the Centre may be inclined to go for President's Rule as an interim measure to get the situation back in order in the state.

"well you can piss off with your poxy job," I shouted at my supervisor. I think he would have taken it more seriously if I wasn't quitting every other week and each time I'd come back the next day same as normal. "I'm sick and tired of hearing the same thing every day Joe," I stormed out of his office and walked out to the front of the building.
It's not like my job was all that bad, I was head of research for a scientific research company that was looking in to new methods of detection for forensic investigators, so yeah, it was pretty cool. But it wasn't easy being in the position. For a start I was a woman and a lot of the people who were working under me were very old fashioned men. Secondly I was openly gay, and as a result I found that almost half of my team were homophobic.
I paced around outside the main building for a little while before pulling out a slightly crumpled pack of fags from my pocked and lighting one up. I took a long, calming drag of it, closing my eyes and leaning back against the wall. It wasn't Joe that I was angry at, not really. It was the rest of the fucking team that would either openly mock me or slip in snide remarks every now and then.
"Do you think she's actually going to quit this time?" My head snapped up at the voice. Chris and Ryan had strutted out of the main doors, also to have a smoke.
"I fucking hope so. The faggot," He half laughed, "Sarah says she's always worried she'll start hitting on her," I felt my temper rise. I swear to god whenever a woman hears that I'm gay they automatically begin to think I'll try getting it on with them. I sighed, taking another couple of drags of the cigarette before putting it out. I ran a hand through my short blond hair before pushing off the wall and strutting straight past them towards my motorbike.
* * *
I finally pulled up outside my little house having taken a detour to clear my head. I swung off my bike, pushing it up the path so I could stand it up in the back garden.
I pulled off my jacket, dumping it on the sofa as I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
I ran through what had happened today wondering what I was going to do, did I really want to go back in tomorrow? I sighed putting the glass down on the side before stripping off and getting changed for hunting tonight.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 activation and cyclo-oxygenase-2 induction are early reperfusion-independent inflammatory events in hemorrhagic shock

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) initiates an inflammatory response that includes increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and production of prostaglandins. Induction of iNOS during the ischemic phase of HS may involve the activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). Increased expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) during HS contributes to prostaglandin production. The aim of this study was to determine whether the ischemic phase of HS results in the activation of HIF-1 and the induction of COX-2. The lungs of rats subjected to HS demonstrated a twofold increase in HIF-1 activation (P < 0.01) and a 7.4-fold increase in expression of COX-2 mRNA (P < 0.01) compared with sham controls. The upregulation of iNOS and COX-2 during ischemia are two important early response genes that promote the inflammatory response and may contribute to organ damage through the rapid and exaggerated production of nitric oxide and prostaglandins.

Centrifugal filtration
From OpenWetWare
Revision as of 23:50, 13 September 2006 by Reshma P. Shetty (Talk | contribs)
You can concentrate and/or change buffers for protein, RNA and DNA samples via centrifugal filtration. Filters typically have a specified molecular weight cutoff. All molecules with molecular weight greater than the cutoff will be retained and all molecules with molecular weight less than the cutoff will flow through. Hence, this method can in some cases be used for purification as well.

Many of the students in this school live in windemere and yeah they are kinda white washed or something. There are many rich students at this school. Overall it is a very boring school but academically it is moderate. It is very neat and clean and good architecture

One company that provided a great deal of price information on its website for car shoppers found that people got the information, then went to a local car dealer instead of clicking through in their site to order the car. The company was losing money on the site even though it was providing value. They concluded that they needed to get something of value before they gave it, so they did something simple: they reversed the screens. They asked people for information (in a way, qualified them) prior to getting the price quote. As a result, the company is now earning money on the site. The adage that people value less that which they receive for free may have been at work. When customers had to give some information, the perceived value of what they got increased. The company may not have had as many site visitors, but those who stayed bought.
Do customers perceive you as someone who is eager to sell to anyone, or as someone who provides products and services matched to their needs? Appearing too eager to make a sale makes people resistant to buying. Having some degree of exclusivity makes customers more eager to purchase. When you call for an appointment with a service professional and you can immediately get an appointment, don't you wonder why? If this person were good, wouldn't you have to wait?
Buy.com was faced with a similar situation. Buy.com was selling products at prices that were unprofitable, hoping to make up for those losses with advertising sales. That business model, as many dot-coms found out, doesn't work as well as it sounds. Buy.com decided it needed to raise prices, but at the same time keep customers raving about the value they received.
"To remain viable, we needed to create raving-fan clients who'd stay loyal as prices climbed," said Tom Silvell, vice president of customer support, as reported by Ginger Cooper in the November 2001 issue of CRM Magazine (p. 34). Silvell reviewed every part of the customer experience. Using customer relationship management tools, they were able to cut order time, return time, and costs. The quality of the customer experience improved. And service ratings went up dramatically. Silvell said, "We built our programs and technologies around what customers wanted and needed instead of letting our programs and technologies drive their behavior. This tactic helped transition us from a price-sensitive shop to one focused on the customer experience, on offering value to clients, and on providing quality merchandise at reasonable prices."
A study conducted by the Gartner Group, also reported in the same issue of CRM Magazine, found that less than 5 percent of companies worldwide have successfully implemented what they call a "customer-centric" approach. A company may think it focuses on the customer, but likely still has much room for improvement.
What is your perspective as a sales professional? What is the customer's buying experience when buying from you? Is it convenient and efficient? How do you know? If you don't, now would be a good time to find out.
What is your business model? How well does it work? How do you find and serve customers? A business model is simply a way of describing what your business does and how it does it. An aspect of recent business models, for example, is the channel for reaching customers. Do you sell directly or through others? Do you use fixed pricing, contracts, or negotiated pricing?
There has been much discussion lately about business models, prompted by the application of the Internet to new ways of reaching and selling to customers. The unfortunate downside to some Internet businesses is that their models overlooked the need to produce profits. The assumption was that investors would tolerate long-term losses almost indefinitely, as long as the promise of future profits fueled an increasing stock price. But the bubble burst when the underlying demand evaporated and investors sought companies that were producing or had demonstrated that they would produce profits in the future.
Even having a compelling vision for a business model and deep-pocketed investors is no guarantee of success, as Global Crossings proved in early 2002. Their vision was to create a global fiber optic network, but they had trouble signing up enough customers to fund the huge investment. The importance of the business model in this case, and with so many dot-com businesses, was that the model has to factor in profitable sales. Unrestrained growth leads to unrealistic sales requirements that place salespeople in untenable positions.
One company I worked with refused to compete with their customers; it was an important component of their business model. This particular client of mine sold products to other businesses, which then sold the products to end users. The client could have tried to sell directly to the end users, a practice that would essentially have amounted to competing with their own customers. Some of the client's competitors did, but this business chose not to. This proposition gave the company a beneficial selling advantage that could position them uniquely with customers.
Individual salespeople operate with sales models that may be effective or ineffective. To maximize effectiveness, they need to think about how they will reach their potential customers. For example, you might try something as simple as sales materials that describe your qualifications, experience, present customers, results you've achieved for your customers, testimonials, and contact information.
" Our site followed many of the existing conventions. It had a lot of information and had lots of buy now buttons. What it did not do was follow our sales model. We got bogged down in features and functions, instead of outcomes and emotions."
—Mike Manning, director of e-commerce, Hooked on Phonics

or Why I Keep Harping On Blacklisting
An incident reveals attempts to get around blacklisting by manipulating behavior in ASP, illustrating the weakness of blacklist approaches.
A new version of UrlScan is shipping today with a change specifically to address this.
I was working with a colleague on an incident last week that looked like a garden-variety SQL injection drive-by except for something interesting.
While looking through the IIS logs from the affected server, I saw this:
As I looked at this, "DEC%LARE", "VAR%CHAR", and "BS%ET" immediately stood out to me. Obviously, the percent sign is usually used to escape something in a URL (like the %20's in there, which are spaces); however, this naked percent sign thrown in there didn't seem to have any purpose and should have caused SQL to not execute the code in question.
When I see somebody do something like this, it's usually for a purpose so I took another look at it. I realized that, if ASP silently stripped that percent sign out of there, then this would be an efficient way to bypass a lot of blacklist-based filters.
I wrote a quick test ASP page(1) and found that my guess was right on — ASP drops a percent sign from the query string if it isn't followed by two valid hex characters(0-9, A-F) when it actually interprets it via Request.QueryString. This means that any filter that inspects raw headers using Request.ServerVariables is going to miss "DEC%LARE" if it is looking for "DECLARE" but, on the other hand, the ASP app that actually consumes that string using Request.QueryString("abc") is going to get it without the percent sign.
As this incident illustrates, a blacklist approach to SQL injection only works for as long as nobody finds a way around your blacklist. As soon as somebody finds a way around it (and experience suggests that attackers are motivated to do so), the value of your blacklist is zero.
The right approach is to fix the actual vulnerability in the code using parameterized queries. See the articles below for more information and examples.
SQL Injection Mitigation- Using Parameterized Queries
SQL Injection Mitigation- Using Parameterized Queries part 2 (types and recordsets)
The IIS team is releasing an update to UrlScan today that includes changes to address this in their filtering product. Of course, as I've said over and and over, no filter-based approach is going to be perfect, but UrlScan is still an excellent defense-in-depth tool and a way to mitigate SQL injection vulns in the short term while your developers fix them.
For more information on the UrlScan update, Wade Hilmo has all the details:
QUERY_STRING = <%= Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") %>

test =<%= Request.QueryString("test") %>

Green Tea Extract Increases Metabolism, May Aid in Weight Loss!
There are two ways to get weight off - either reduce energy intake, or increase energy expenditure. Because hypothyroidism -- even after treatment -- may reduce energy expenditure in some people, patients naturally are looking for options that can help safely help raise their metabolism.
In a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was found that Green Tea Extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine.
The same amount of caffeine as was in the green tea, administered alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies. This led reseachers to believe that there is some interaction going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes increased metabolism and fat oxidation.
The researchers indicated that their findings have substantial implications for weight control. A 4 percent overall increase in 24-hour energy expenditure was attributed to green tea extract; however, the research found that the extra expenditure took place during the daytime.
This led them to conclude that, since thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) contributes 8 to 10 percent of daily energy expenditure in a typical subject, that this 4 percent overall increase in energy expenditure due to the green tea actually translated to a 35 to 43 percent increase in daytime thermogenesis.
Green Tea Fights Bad Breath
In other recent news, a study gives green tea another reason why we should love it!
A study from Israel's Institute of Technology has found the antioxidants in green tea called polyphenols can destroy the compounds that lead to bad breath and tooth decay.
The producers of TheraBreath have known this for some time. TheraBreath PLUS Oral Rinse is the only mouthwash on the market with a stable green tea formula. It tastes great and works effectively to eliminate even chronic halitosis and now this new study just confirms what we've always known.

Pineapple Green Tea Recipe
Adding pineapple to green tea increases many of its benefits, specifically the catechins, which help to reduce the risk of stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes. Pineapple tea can be served either hot or cold.
1/2 cup brewed green tea, steeped for 5 minutes
2/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
Place everything in a blender and blend until frothy. Serve immediately. Makes one serving.

Blueberry Green Tea Smoothie
This is a two part recipe: First freeze the green tea ice cubes, and then make the smoothie. Don't be tempted to use water ice cubes because the green tea adds a lush but subtle flavor that pairs nicely with the blueberries.
The green tea also adds lots of health benefits and promotes weight loss.
1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
1-1/2 cups fresh or unsweetened frozen blueberries
1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 to 6 green tea ice cubes
Pour the tea into an ice cube tray and freeze.
Place blueberries, yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice and 4 green tea ice cubes in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately.
