Pulsed wireless directional object counter
Document Type and Number: United States Patent 7448548
Abstract: A directional object counter uses two or more light sources to generate pulses of light, which travel on two light paths across a passageway. Light from both sources illuminates two sensors, after the light has traversed the passageway, and a processor connected to the sensors determines, based on the pulsed nature of the sources, which source(s) is/are illuminating which sensor(s), and counts movement of objects through the light paths in an identified direction. The pulsed nature of the light permits low-power operation of the directional object counter with a battery. Furthermore, the independence of the pulse discrimination from the pulse generation, enables the light sources and light sensors to be positioned on opposite sides of a passageway without wiring connecting them across the passageway.

Business Groups in Emerging Markets - Substitutes for Missing Institutions
Abstract: Business groups in emerging markets perform better than unaffiliated firms. We study how business groups can substitute some functions of missing institutions, for example, enforcing contracts. In a two period model, there is no contract enforcement in the first period. The firms within the business group are connected to each other by a vertical production structure, resulting in externalities due to double marginalization, and an internal capital market. Our model derives the sequencing of investments and the credit contract offered by the headquarters that solve the ex post moral hazard problem. Thus, the business group's organizational mode and the financial structure facilitate relational contracting.

After being outplayed on Saturday and embarrassed on their home ice the Boston Bruins came out looking to redeem themselves against the Carolina Hurricanes. However Carolina came out strong in the first and dug a hole for the Bruins that they could not climb out of.
The Hurricanes got to early goals from Andrew Ladd in the first period, one coming three minutes into the game and one coming three minutes later. The Bruins also felt the effects from their former rookie of the year Sergei Samsonov who scored a goal in the second period and picked up an assist on Andrew Ladd's second goal.
In the third period Shawn Thorton decided that he was going to try and get his team a win. Thorton looked like he was on a mission when he scored two goals in a 27 second span. One at 14:50 of the final frame and one 27 seconds later at 15:17. The Bruins then kicked it in to high gear in the final minutes putting a lot of rubber in the direction of Cam Ward but Ward hung tough and stopped 32 of 34 shots he faced.
The Bruins blew their opportunity to score in the final minute after they pulled Alex Auld for an extra skater and captain Zdeno Chara took an elbowing penalty with 34 seconds to play and then Marc Savard took an interference penalty as the buzzer rang to signify the end of the game.
Shawn Thornton's two goals were the first of his Bruins career and gave him his first two-goal game of his career.
The Bruins out shot the visitors 11-9 in the second period and 14-4 in the third after being out shot 10-9 in the first frame.
The Bruins are in Pittsburgh on Wednesday and the Hurricanes host Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Across the United States and Puerto Rico, we equip disciple-makers to encourage authentic discipleship that encompasses the Gospel's full breadth—both its personal and social implications—that is lived out through Christians sharing the Good News, heeding the Gospel call and impacting the world with God's love.
We are committed to cultivating strong Christian leaders who are culturally and spiritually competent, in touch with their churches and communities, and passionate about ministry and helping people. These leaders work tirelessly to strengthen their congregations, communities and regions.
By equipping passionate disciples and cultivating strong leaders, we support and enable American Baptists to create and build ministries that heal communities in so many ways. Our disciples and leaders collaborate with congregations, American Baptist Churches USA and interfaith groups to raise consciousness, build bridges and undertake social justice action that defines the best about what it means to be a Christian.
Please support this important work. Your gift will help us equip more disciples, cultivate more leaders and bring God's healing love to more communities!
Give to the America for Christ Offering to support the breadth of ABHMS' Christ-centered ministries that touch lives and transform communities across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Imagine sacrificially serving your church for 30 years, yet having such inadequate retirement savings that you and your spouse have no other choice but to eat cat food twice weekly. Many American Baptist pastors are suffering in silence, woefully undercompensated and squeezed by crushing debt. The Lilly Foundation-funded "In Support of Excellence" (ISOE) initiative is committed to supporting pastors by equipping them and their lay leaders with financial management best practices, leadership coaching, self-care strategies, targeted relief from economic distress and seed funds to incubate new ministry models.
Additional information regarding ISOE's three-year pilot program can be found on the "Frequently Asked Questions" page.
Your contribution to the "In Support of Excellence" initiative helps to alleviate stress on many financially uncertain American Baptist pastors. Your financial gift will sustain financial literacy training and help to establish a direct financial assistance fund to aid pastoral leaders and their families.
When U.S. military personnel are deployed in combat zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan, American Baptist-endorsed chaplains meet their spiritual needs—praying and worshipping with them, counseling them in the bleakest moments and, sometimes, baptizing them—regardless of their religious affiliation. Across communities in the United States and Puerto Rico, hospital chaplains meet patients and family members in emergency rooms when serious health issues or accidents have jeopardized the equilibrium of their lives. Inside prisons, American Baptist chaplains bring God's love to those locked away from the pulse of daily life. And in therapeutic settings throughout the United States, pastoral counselors offer comfort to those struggling with depression, suicide, divorce and spiritual desolation.
Your gift to ABHMS' Chaplaincy and Pastoral Counseling Ministries ensures that the 600-plus chaplains and pastoral counselors—endorsed by American Baptist Churches USA through ABHMS—continue to share the healing words and presence of God's love at critical moments along the life journey.
Out of a U.S. prison population totaling in the millions, upwards of 1,500 offenders are released daily.
Where do these individuals go? Do they find welcoming, open doors that offer opportunities to start over? ABHMS' Prisoner Re-entry National Network—which includes prison chaplains, local pastors and lay leaders, along with re-entry organization leaders across the country—supports organizations and individuals working to help ex-offenders build new lives for themselves by providing guides and resources focusing on launching and managing healing re-entry ministries.
Your contributions to this ministry ensure that these important re-entry resources are available to churches and organizations committed to helping ex-offenders, so often forgotten by mainstream society.
Five decades ago, eight out of 10 Americans went to Christian worship on Sunday mornings. Today, fewer than two out of 10 Americans attend worship on an average Sunday. As Christians, we believe that the gospel message of Jesus is good news for every era, and we know that the church has adjusted to every new challenge in each new generation. How will the church respond to today's challenge?
ABHMS' Missional Church Learning Experience (MCLE) guides congregations through a process that explores what God is saying to the church today, seeking to answer the question, "How can we best fit with God's mission in our rapidly changing culture?" Each congregation, part of a cluster of churches formed in an American Baptist region, creates a mission team that's trained in basic missional church principles, learning to build ministry that meets community needs, then designing and implementing a small community project. These projects are changing the world.
Your support of this ministry ensures that more and more churches have access to this program, so they can bring more ministries and more change and healing to their neighborhoods and communities.
ABHMS' Asian Ministries ministers to American Baptist Churches USA's more than 130 Asian-American Baptist churches, congregations and fellowship groups. More than 18 different languages and dialects are spoken among these groups—one of the most culturally rich and ethnically diverse groups of churches within the denomination.
This ABHMS ministry provides the Asian American Baptist community with pastoral and lay leadership development, recruitment of professional ministry leaders, resource development, scholarships for theological and higher education, and bridge-building and networking among language groups as well as support for Asian women in ministry and more.
Your gift in support of Asian Ministries ensures that ABHMS services and resources will continue to enrich the discipleship and leadership of these ethnically diverse American Baptist groups.
Ministry in the Latino community has been an integral part of ABHMS since its first missionary work in Puerto Rico in 1899 and the planting of the first mission church in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1901. Today, one in six Americans is Latino, according to the Census Bureau; by 2050, it's expected this group will approach one-third of the total U.S. population.
American Baptist congregations deal with the social and economic issues faced by Latinos in this country, namely unemployment and underemployment, bleak educational outcomes, youth violence and gangs, and single-parent households. Many Latinos speak mostly Spanish, so ministry must respond to bilingual, bicultural needs.
To support the American Baptist Latino community, ABHMS' Latino Ministries provides denominational resources in Spanish, recruitment of professional ministry leaders, leadership development, youth empowerment and church renewal and growth resources as well as theological education scholarships and theological education with a Hispanic track in American Baptist-related institutions.
Your gift to Latino Ministries ensures that this growing segment of the U.S. population will continue to receive the support needed to strengthen its congregations for dealing with the myriad issues they face.
Evangelism introduces an individual to a personal relationship with Christ—emphasizing its lifelong commitment to a journey that ultimately results in eternal blessings and benefits, but also has much to offer right here and now. Since evangelism is the first step in disciple making, winning souls for Christ means not just eliciting decisions, but equipping disciples to show God's love in the way they live their lives day in and day out.
With both its temporal and eternal dimensions, evangelism must be prophetic and speak to the human condition in the here and now, as well as to the human condition and its relevance to the hereafter. Evangelism challenges the soul, and changes society, too.
Your gift to ABHMS' evangelism ministry ensures the development of resources that invite individuals into relationship with Christ and provide the tools they need to grow into discipleship that infuses congregations and communities with God's healing grace and love.
Since 2010, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has declared 311 major disasters in the United States. ABHMS' Volunteer Mobilization Ministries has responded by facilitating individual volunteer missionary appointments, summer service opportunities, group mission experiences and specialized service projects. Hundreds of volunteers, through ABHMS, have logged hundreds of hours in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward—still healing from hurricanes Katrina and Rita—helping residents recover their properties and move back into their homes years after the devastation. Volunteer efforts have also focused on New Jersey, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and other locations across the country hit by flooding, tornadoes and other devastating weather events.
Your gift to Volunteer Mobilization Ministries ensures that ABHMS can continue to sponsor, organize and facilitate healing volunteer efforts across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Reclaiming the City
In its quest to be a world city, many of Singapore's urban spaces have been subjected to constant redevelopment. Derelict waterfronts and ageing neighbourhoods have been given new life, enjoying their reincarnation as landscapes of economy and leisure. A prevalent theme in Singapore's transformation has been the reclamation of landscapes to cater to new users, activities and agendas. Adopting a case study of the Singapore River waterfront, this paper analyses three forms of urban reclamation. They include reclaiming functionality, aimed at infusing the waterfront with new land uses; reclaiming access, as a way of opening up the landscape to more people; and reclaiming the local, as a way to commemorate local cultures and histories. While government planners and private enterprise are intent on developing a world-class environment, Singaporeans and visitors respond to this urban vision in different ways with some praising the dynamism of worldly transformations and others criticising them as a prelude to a soulless city. While some degree of worldliness is essential in any redevelopment, a fine balance has to be sought between the excesses of global urbanism and the parochialism of vernacular concerns.

As many of the nation's physicians gather at a convention in Chicago this weekend, one of the most controversial issues on their agenda is continued support of the "individual mandate," a key part of President Obama's health care overhaul.
"It will be intensely debated," said Dr. Lori Heim, a North Carolina family physician who travelled to Chicago for the annual meeting of the American Medical Association (AMA), the nation's largest physicians group.
AMA support for the Affordable Care Act, and specifically the individual mandate, which requires that nearly all Americans purchase health insurance, was seen as important in setting the stage for its passage last year.
"AMA's support was and is more significant with respect to PR than legislative politics," said Heritage Foundation health care expert Edmund Haislmaier.
Of course, the Obama administration is facing dozens of legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act, including one brought by Republican governors and attorneys general from more than two dozen states that's now before the federal appeals court in Atlanta. Those challenges will almost certainly be decided by the Supreme Court, perhaps as soon as next year, according to CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen.
In light of the fact that the battle has moved to the courts, it's not clear what real world effect a change in position by the AMA would have, though it would certainly give more fuel to opponents of "Obamacare" going into the 2012 elections. Haislmaier said it would also weaken the White House narrative that the Affordable Care Act is "settled and everybody needs to get on board with implementation."
Members of the AMA on both sides of the issue said the debate within the organization mirrors the larger national discussion about the health care law and the individual mandate.
"In the same way that you're seeing this debate being played out in the political arena, similarly you have people on both sides of the issue in the AMA," said Dr. Robert Sewell, past president of the American Society of General Surgeons, a medical group that opposes the individual mandate.
Heim, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians, which supports the mandate, agreed. She said the issue has played out along political party lines among physicians just as it has in society at large.
CBSNews.com Special Report: Health Care Reform
"Although I think the individual responsibility will get the support it deserves," she said. "I think it will be intensely debated."
Heim added she believes a majority of AMA members support the individual mandate. "Most physicians want to see a change in health care in the nation," she said.
"If you think about it in terms of individual responsibility," Heim said. "We want patients and the public to be responsible about their health. They also need to be responsible about health insurance."
Official AMA policy is decided by majority vote among its House of Delegates, whose more than 500 representatives will take up the individual mandate during five days of meetings.
"You're not going to find a uniformity of opinion," Sewell said.
The American Society of General Surgeons and two other national surgery groups, along with six largely southern state delegations of physicians, all back the effort to overturn AMA support of the individual mandate, according to a tally by the Chicago Tribune. Together they represent less than 10 percent of the delegates, the paper said.
But despite that apparent paucity of opposition, the president of the AMA, Dr. Cecil Wilson, was unwilling to forecast how the House of Delegates will vote.
"I know that the delegates will give thoughtful consideration to this issue as well as how to continue to expand coverage and cover the uninsured," Wilson said. "I would not make a prediction about what the outcome will be."
Wilson said the AMA doesn't as a practice poll its members. "I don't try to make predictions and neither does the AMA or the AMA board," he said.
But anecdotally Wilson said that he sensed growing support for the individual mandate among AMA members since the Affordable Care Act became law in March of 2010.
"More and more physicians are recognizing that we can't stay where we are, that we're in a situation that's intolerable because of cost and lack of coverage--people uninsured and therefore at risk of being sicker when they get treated and of dying sooner," he said.
The Heritage Foundation's Haislmaier noted that AMA membership has in recent years shifted toward primary care physicians, who tend to support the Affordable Care Act, and away from specialists, who tend to oppose the overhaul.
Sewell, the surgeon, remains staunch in his opposition. "We don't believe that it's the government's purview to determine whether or not people buy or don't buy insurance," he said, predicting a heated debate with individual mandate supporters.
"I respect their opinion I just disagree with the idea that somehow or another we as physicians should be weighing in to tell our patients, 'Oh you have to have insurance because otherwise we won't get paid,'" Sewell said. "There's nothing in the Hippocratic Oath that talks about that as far as I can tell."

A couple of days ago, we were delighted to see this Spiceworks post about CA's MSP offering in the backup space: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/131820
On this post, we try to give you a 5 point outline of the program and also seek your feedback on things you like abou the program and the things you would like to see us include in the future.
CA ARCserve® Managed Service Provider Program enables managed service providers and ISVs with a hosted offering to license the CA ARCserve® family of products on a monthly basis to provide services to their end customer or to protect their backend datacenters.
The program is ideal for Service Providers to create new service offerings like remote backup services or remote high availability to clients as well as protect backend datacenter servers to whatever SLA they need to work to. And all the software costs mirror the way service providers get paid by their clients – monthly.
1. No minimum entry criteria
Entry to CA's MSP Program does not require any minimum order values. At the end of the day, Service Providers need to start somewhere and a lot of programs don't help with any ramp-up period
2. No commitment to term
Because we are living in changing times, Service Providers are faced with cash flow concerns "what if a client goes out of business and the vendor is still expecting payment for software ?" – this is why CA's MSP Program does not force a Service Provider to commit to 1, 2 or 3 years in the program. Things can change
3. Sold via Authorised Resellers Only
The program is only available from authorised resellers. Authorised resellers understand monthly billing to Service Providers and are able to market specifically to that audience. They manage the enrolment of Service Providers and the ongoing ordering
4. True Utility Style Licensing
As with electricity or telephone bills, CA's MSP Program is based on a "true" pay as you use logic. A Service Provider is expected to pay for licenses that have been used on the 7th of the following month.
5. Simplified Monthly Subscription Licensing
One of the biggest complaints from Service Providers is the sheer volume of licenses that vendors bring to them. For this reason the CA MSP Program has only 6 part codes to consider. These part codes include all the technology (DAS, NAS, SAN or Physical / Virtual) that is needed to;
- Backup a file server

Why does dotty report a syntax error on a legal dot file?
Typically this error is reported as:
>> graph parser: syntax error near line 14
>> context: >>> <<< digraph G {
>> dotty.lefty: giving up on dot
>> dotty.lefty: graph that causes dot
>> dotty.lefty: to fail has been saved in file dottybug.dot
Probably there is a command in your shell environment (such as .alias or .profile) that does output even for non-interactive shells. When this occurs, those characters go in the pipe to the dot parser and cause this problem. An easy check is whether other users have the same problem.

Don't Mess With Utah?
By Charles Michels On October 26, 2010 January 26, 2014 · Updated January 26, 2014 · Leave a Comment
In early 2009, Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff couldn't take it anymore. After he watched the Utah Utes football program go undefeated in the regular season for the second time in five years, he believed that the Utes deserved a place in the NCAA's BCS title game. However, just like in 2004, the Utes were left in the dark, with one loss Florida playing one loss Oklahoma in the BCS title game. Utah went on to beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, completing their second undefeated non-championship season in five years.
Shurtleff at that time merely announced that he would begin looking into antitrust laws in an attempt to identify any theory by which the BCS could be challenged under the Sherman Antitrust Act. As Shurtleff noted, his concern was not merely "about bragging rights. It's a multimillion dollar business — hundreds of millions — where the BCS schools get richer and non-BCS get poorer." He further argued that based on the current system more than half of the NCAA division one football programs would never be able to play for a national championship. In late March, Shurtleff confirmed that he was ready to go forward with the lawsuit, hoping to file by June of 2009.
Fast forward to October 2010. Shurtleff has yet to file suit against the BCS, but it appears it may just be a matter of time. Shurtleff is heading to Washington this week — lawsuit in hand — to meet with top officials at the Department of Justice (which works with the Federal Trade Commission in pursuing most antitrust litigation in the United States). Shurtleff was quoted saying that the suit will go forward, with or without the cooperation of the Justice Department, but later backed down and said there is an "eighty percent chance" of the lawsuit being filed.
What will Shurtleff allege in his lawsuit? Professor Nathanial Grow recently shared some of his beliefs, soon to be published in the Harvard Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law, as to the claims that could succeed against the BCS.
Perhaps the most significant of these possible claims is price fixing. Grow argues that the BCS has eliminated competition between formerly independent bowl games and conferences in two ways. He first claims that the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange bowls competed against each other for television contracts with the major networks in the past. The networks would bid and compete for individual games and this served as a constraint on the price that the bowls could seek. Once the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange bowls came to be a part of the BCS, they were packaged together. The allegation is that this artificially raises the price paid by the network. The networks no longer have any other option but to compete against each other for one product, rather than competing against each other for three distinct products.
Grow's second price-fixing claim focuses on the fees paid by the bowl games to the conferences. In the past, the appearance fee paid to the conferences by the bowl games would be negotiated on a yearly basis, based in part on the marketability of the team in question. Under the BCS scheme, a set sum is paid out to each automatically qualifying conference without regard to the qualifying team's marketability, therefore artificially increasing ticket prices and television fees charged by the bowl game.
Professor Grow also argues that the BCS represents an illegal group boycott against conferences that do not receive an automatic BCS birth. A non-automatically qualifying conference that places a team in a BCS game receives substantially less money from the BCS than a conference that gets to automatically place their champion in a BCS game. For example, for the 2010 BCS, the Big East, Big Twelve, Pac-10, and ACC all placed one team into a BCS game. Each of those conferences received at least 17.7 million from the BCS. As non-automatic qualifying conferences, the MWC and the WAC each placed one team into a BCS game. Those two conferences combined received only 17.8 million.
It will be interesting to see if the Department of Justice goes along with Shurtleff's suit. While a victory against the BCS would not lead directly to a playoff being instituted, it would at the least get rid of a system that has frustrated many a college football fan since its inception in 1998.

Yvonne Strahovski Joins 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY Series
Dexter and Chuck co-star Yvonne Strahovski is set to star alongside Kiefer Sutherland in the upcoming limited series 24: Live Another Day. The story catches up with Jack Bauer several years after the events in the final season of 24. Strahovski is set to play a character named Kate Morgan, who is a brilliant but impulsive CIA field operative in London. She's a solid actress, and she'll make a great addition to the series!
The series is set to premiere on Monday, May 5th at 8 pm, and it will launch with a two-hour premiere. The series will shoot in London, and it's going to be great to see Bauer back in action! For years there was talk of a movie, and it almost happened. Then the idea went back to developing it as a limited series, which in my opinion is a much better idea, because they get to tell more than just a two hour story.
I've always been a huge fan of 24, and I couldn't be more excited that the series is coming back! If it does well, who knows… maybe we'll get another season!

Using Git from behind an NTLM proxy
Posted by Steve Knight under windows
[4] Comments
For some reason the Git that ships with Cygwin (v126.96.36.199) won't do the right thing with NTLM proxies. It seems that Git uses cURL underneath and that cURL can correctly handle NTLM authentication if the options are set correctly.
However, the version of Git I have isn't capable of passing this information through. In fact, some browsing of the issues that people have with this suggests that there is more than one part of Git that isn't able to work correctly with NTLM. So even if you're able to get past the initial connection you probably won't be able to fetch any of the tree.
The solution, in full then, is to use ntlmaps to act as a proxy to the proxy. All you need to do is to download the latest version of the app from: ntlmaps. Change the config file to include your authentication and proxy details, start it up and then set the proxy to be your new local one:
git config --global http.proxy http://localhost:5865
I can confirm that it works just fine. Not only that you can use it for any app that requires NTLM authentication but does not provide full NTLM support.
4 Responses to " Using Git from behind an NTLM proxy "
Have you tried using the ISA client. It helps when the software you are using is not 'NTLM' aware
Git supports NTLM proxy authentication from version 1.7.10 onwards, relevant commit is https://github.com/gitster/git/commit/dd6139971a18e25a5089c0f96dc80e454683ef0b
1.7.10 release notes briefly mentioned it as:
* HTTP transport learned to authenticate with a proxy if needed.
I've successfully tested it with the proxy at my workplace which is NTLM and requires user/pass, just do the following:
git config –global http.proxy http://user:email@example.com:port
git clone http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-contacts
The http.proxy setting you quote includes login and password. That's not NTLM auth.
The curl build shipped with Git does indeed support NTLM/SSPI, but I could find nothing on how to tell Git to use.

Key Priorities
1. Access
2. Student Success
3. Quality
4. Resourcefulness & Efficiency
Improve higher education opportunities for Tennesseans.
Key Priority: Access
Improving opportunities for more Tennesseans to earn post‐secondary credentials is a primary area of focus for the Tennessee Board of Regents System. Serving the needs of individual Tennesseans who wish to develop their professional skills and enrich their lives is also significant. Vital to those efforts will be addressing barrier issues such as affordability, preparedness and technology, as well as issues related to increasing participation levels of traditionally underserved populations.
Anticipating high demand for post‐secondary education, the TBR and its institutions will address capacity issues by promoting internal and external partnerships, using technology effectively, and optimizing the unique characteristics of its three types of institutions (universities, community colleges, and technology centers).
Access Goals
The TBR System and its institutions will use technology to increase participation in post‐secondary education and workforce development.
In order to increase access at all levels, the TBR System and its institutions will develop a methodology to utilize access and diversity resources to implement best practices for increasing participation levels of traditionally underserved populations.
Charting the Course -8- 3/8/2010
Student Success
Increase the number of students receiving post‐secondary awards.
Key Priority: Student Success
Increasing the number of citizens with diplomas, certificates, and degrees is a critical area of focus for the TBR System. Fostering greater success of students to persist and complete credentials and degrees enhances the viability of academic programs, the growth of existing businesses and the ability to attract new high paying industries to the state. Measures of student success can be improved by continuing to work with Tennessee high schools through P‐16 agreements and dual credit and dual enrollment programs; increasing student success in the areas of developmental studies, e‐learning, and the Teaching Quality Initiative; fostering student engagement and persistence through effective support services, co‐curricular activities, and faculty‐guided research and mentoring; and optimizing new technologies to enhance teaching, research, service and learning.
Student Success Goals
The TBR System and its institutions will enhance student persistence to the completion of the post‐secondary credential or degree.
The TBR System and its institutions will increase the number of students who complete a post‐secondary credential, including diplomas, certificates, undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Charting the Course -10- 3/8/2010
Achieve excellence in the fulfillment of our institutional missions.
Key Priority: Quality
Improving access and completion rates in higher education can improve the lives of Tennesseans only to the degree that students acquire and retain knowledge, skills and abilities they need to become productive employees and responsible citizens. System institutions will address pressing local and global needs by engaging in research, creative work and public service that advance knowledge and create new opportunities. To achieve excellence in all areas of our collective mission, we must provide high quality academic programs, faculty, services and facilities.
Quality Goals
1. The TBR System and its institutions will monitor and improve the effectiveness of their educational programs.
2. The TBR System and its institutions will monitor and improve the quality of their mission‐specific research and creative activities and public service.
Charting the Course -12- 3/8/2010
Resourcefulness & Efficiency
Expand resources and optimize administrative, instructional, and operational efficiencies.
Key Priority: Resourcefulness & Efficiency
The major sources of revenue for TBR institutions are state appropriations and student tuition and fees. With the financial pressures facing Tennessee, increases in state funding over the next five years are unlikely. On the other hand, increases in student tuition and fees are possible; however, if increases in tuition and fees are not accompanied by increases in alternate revenue enhancements coupled with effective deployment of resources, the ability of TBR institutions to sustain quality and access for all students may be limited.
As a result, achieving our vision will require additional financial resources that can be provided through:
An increase in administrative, instructional, and operational efficiencies;
An emphasis on private fund‐raising to support achievement of institutional
Development of financial support from external sources, such as federal, state,
and local governments, foundations, and corporations.
A major point of focus must be to identify financial resources that can be used for need‐ based aid for students who cannot afford the rising cost but are not eligible for achievement‐based financial aid. Decisions leading to increasing tuition must include addressing the basic financial needs of these students.
Resourcefulness and Efficiency Goals
The TBR System and its institutions will address fiscal constraints through multiple approaches such as the prudent management of resources, development of other sources of support, and the pursuit of entrepreneurial initiatives.
The TBR System and its institutions will achieve greater efficiency through such means as developing and adopting best practices, pursuing collaboration among institutions to achieve savings through elimination of unnecessary duplication and removing obstacles to competitiveness.

"I don't know what i was in for"
About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Urology Queen Margaret Hospital Urology KY12 0SU Victoria Hospital / Endoscopy Victoria Hospital Endoscopy KY2 5AH Victoria Hospital / Urology Victoria Hospital Urology KY2 5AH
Posted by back162 (as ),
I came in here thinking they were going for a look and now they want me to stay in.
The doctor never said what they wanted from me and I'm not prepared. They never said what they are going to do.
There saying it's something about a bleed but not telling me anything else.
Signed a form at the Queen Margaret saying they wanted me in soon.
I came in and never got the person who said that they wanted to see me.
I had no information through the post to say what they wanted me in for.
Sitting waiting for something you know nothing about isn't good.
They want to give me an epidural and I had the choice of that. But no one is telling me why I'm here.
Nurses are good, their run off their feet.
Been here since 8am- no one told me I would be last.

Sometimes, as I take my early morning walks, I pass a bit of unwelcome debris, though not much, as Norwood is a fairly litter free town.
Sometimes, as I take my early morning walks, I pass a bit of unwelcome debris, though not much, as Norwood is a fairly litter free town.
When I see a can or bottle or plastic bag, I may snarl to myself as I pass it by, asserting my right not to clean up the messes of strangers. Other times, I pick it up (snarling, of course), and carry it along to the next available trash or recycling bin. I feel some camaraderie with others who do the same unseen public service.
By now, you've guessed I'm using my litter encounters as a symbol, something that both means what it literally says—and more. I am talking about freedom of choice and its consequences.
In the few seconds it takes to notice litter, decide what to do, and either walk on or pick it up, I have taken action. To pick it up is to do something about it, and to let it lie is to do something (nothing can be something). Both have consequences, and not just for me.
I am aware that people are hungry, and I can squeeze a few dollars out of my budget to donate to the food pantry or choose not to. I do something with resulting effect, whether I donate or use my money otherwise. The food pantry either has that food or doesn't as a result of my decision.
If I am aware that Massachusetts is debating a bottle bill that would reduce the plastic in our landfills, recycling bins, and oceans, caused by water and sports drink bottles, I influence any outcome by what I do (voice support) or don't do (silently support the bill's defeat).
Can I do it all? With only 24 hours in a day and my own life to manage, sometimes I choose to do "nothing about something," thereby endorsing it or, at the least, leaving it up to others to take on should they wish--and that may be the wiser decision in some instances.
However, an awareness of the consequences of my free choice does more and more creep into my days. It doesn't take a lot of my time, but I find myself prioritizing as I go. Perhaps I decide to grab some nonperishable groceries to drop off at a food pantry donation box, or to spend 20 minutes on the Internet learning about that bottle bill. I might pick up a piece of litter during my morning walk. I may do nothing.
I'm not suggesting we do all that needs doing. I certainly won't undertake this, nor can I. But let's acknowledge to ourselves that exercising free choice is a deed, whether that choice is to do or don't do. The doing is often in the decision, and the consequences follow. Any time I have a freedom of choice, I own my decision and bear partial responsibility for the result.
This is a tough time of year at Norwood's Ecumenical Food Pantry. People are busy with school and autumn tasks, farms are about at an end with their excess-harvest donations, and the holiday frenzy of charitable giving has yet to commence. We exercise our choice every time we make a grocery purchase, and that decision will have consequences for our society, not just the poor among us.
Donations of canned and boxed food and hygiene products, financial contributions, and time are gratefully accepted. Donations can be dropped off at the food pantry on Saturday mornings or Thursdays (8-9 AM), or anytime at the Morrill Memorial Library and at local supermarkets, as well as most churches around town. The food pantry contact is Ruth Taeger at (781) 769-0425.

Softengi: International Market Success Without Troubles – Easy Translation of Applications
Softengi has already faced this inability to translate and localize enterprise application without wasting tens of years and millions of dollars. How one may localize millions of code lines without wasting millions of working-hours?
Why Localization is needed? Our story
Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text. Back in 2010 the U.S. customer of Softengi, has initiated a project to localize its product to enter the markets of other countries. In a nutshell, the application was:
· - Application development since 2001;
· - More than 2 mln of code lines;
· - Around 800 screen forms.
And the task of Softengi was to localize this monster. Namely, the goal was to find all the code lines in all the application files and localize them.
In 2010, Softengi's localization team has started the work without giving it a second thought, simply using the standard localization process recognized in the whole world - dividing code between the developers and using manual take out of text in a separate file. So the work process was looking like this:
1. 1. Developer opens each application file
2. 2. Sees some text in quotation marks
3. 3. Considers if this text is displayed at user interface
4. 4. If yes, copies the code line
5. 5. Opens resource file and inserts code line
After working by the above mentioned process for 2 years, the customer simply did not dare to launch localized in this way application because, in spite of such investments, it was still not clear how much is left to do. Summarizing the use of manual approach the team has got such disappointing results:
· - Localization period – 2 years (with initially 1 year estimated)
· - Big testing volumes
· - Localized version launch postponed for undefined period of time
· - None of application modules was fully localized
- Development of Localization Studio
A year later, the customer again has made the request for localization, and the team has come to the conclusion that the localization process needs to be automated. After checking the market and not finding any suitable applications for this purpose, the localization team has developed own Localization Studio (LocStudio) application, which works as follows:
1. 1. All project files are loaded into LocStudio
2. 2. LocStudio analyzes all files and finds literals (literal is a line with text in quotation marks)
3. 3. With the help of pre-defined settings, LocStudio filters literals (for example, only names of columns, id of control buttons etc.)
4. 4. In the resulted file there are only those literals, which needed to be localized. In the end, the team knows the exact volume of localization work to be done.
5. 5. The work is distributed between junior-developers, who in one click take out all literals in resource file
6. 6. All values are exported in Excel, translated and loaded back to LocStudio as text in parallel columns
In the end the developer had a new resource file, for example, for German language, which could be loaded into the application and easily used.
Through the use of Localization Studio application, which is an implementation of automated approach to localization, the team has managed to make a successful localization project for customer's product. In total localization time composed 6 months instead of 1 year estimated with standard approach, which not only facilitated the launch of product in the international market, but also three times decreased the overall expenses for the customer.
LocServ is a "startup", born in Softengi, providing a set of localization services, such as localization of software, testing, internationalization of software products as well as consulting services for localization. After facing a challenging localization of monster-applications, the team has developed and released a beta version of own Localization Studio 1.01 BETA, available for free download at http://loc-serv.com/
