MELBOURNE has some great cafes that have been around for decades, places such as Florentino and Pellegrini's Espresso Bar in Bourke Street. It was cafes and restaurants, such as these, that helped shape the brief for Pei Modern, a new restaurant in Collins Place.
"My clients wanted this place to feel as though it has been here for a long time, not just something that makes a loud noise when it arrives, and closes a couple of years later," says architect Helen Rice.
While the name of the new bar and restaurant - Pei Modern - sounds like it serves Asian fare, it's in fact French inspired food with a strong Australian foundation.
The chef, Mark Best, latched onto the idea of I.M. Pei, the famous Chinese-American architect, who designed the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre in Paris. I.M. Pei is also represented in Collins Place, after collaborating with Bates Smart in the 1980s.
Despite the Collins Street towers being from the 1980s, Rice, as well as her clients, didn't want an '80s retro fit-out and, although the space is modest in area, Rice was able to include a restaurant seating 50, a bar for 20, a kitchen and toilets.
Even the pavement outside has been included in the design, now seating 20 people in a protected environment.
While Pei Modern is fine dining, the menu was created to attract people who might eat at the same place a couple of times a week. It hasn't been designed for that special occasion.
"You can eat here for breakfast lunch or dinner. There's also a bar where you can have oysters and champagne before the theatre, or sausage and mash after a movie," says Rice.
With this degree of accessibility, the last thing on Rice's mind was stiff linen table cloths and high-back chairs. Bistro-style chairs on herringbone tiled floors feature in the cafe, with simple mood lighting.
In the bar, the same informality to the decor applies, with a distressed mirrored wall in the bar not only enlarging the space, but also providing a slightly faded ambience.
"I was keen to look at I.M. Pei's aesthetic. But I didn't want to use the same materials that he used in the '80s," says Rice. So instead of chrome Rice used stainless steel, instead of gloss black the palette is matt charcoal.
"It was about wearing down some of those finishes and applying them in a contemporary way," says Rice. "I wanted to make the place feel as though it has been here for 20 years, rather than just a new fit-out.''
Rice has included aluminium screens in the design to delineate the bar and restaurant spaces, and the chairs, although new, are a design that first appeared 10 years ago. "I've got the same chairs in my office. They're comfortable and still appropriate for a restaurant like this," says Rice.
Although the door handles and some of the lights are from British designer Tom Dixon they have a conservative aesthetic
"I've always appreciated spaces that have light and shade, but are also quite textured. There's no point in adding things just to make a statement," says Rice.

Asian markets started 2013 with a bang, as Hong Kong's benchmark jumped to a 19-month high and South Korea shares ended at a nine-month high, after lawmakers in Washington broke the stalemate over the fiscal cliff.
The deal in the U.S. that blunted the effects of the fiscal cliff kicked off a global rally. The agreement delays spending cuts but increase income-tax rates for the first time in two decades.
More in Markets
Both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives approved a bipartisan deal to block most impending tax increases and postpone spending cuts. The WSJ's Mark Cranfield explains what the deal means for the U.S. deficit.
"We could see a good four weeks in January. Now that [the fiscal cliff] is out of the way, there is a clear path for the bulls to push equities higher," said Gary Dugan, chief investment officer for Asia and the Middle East at wealth manager Coutts & Co. in Singapore.
Australia's S&P ASX 200 ended up 1.2% at 4705.90, its biggest one-day gain in five months and South Korea's Kospi gained 1.7% to 20131.10. In Mumbai, the Bombay Stock Exchange's 30-stock Sensitive Index gained 0.7% to 19714.24, the highest close in nearly two years. It was one of the few markets open on Tuesday and rose 0.8% then, as a deal emerged.
Markets in mainland China and Japan remained closed for holidays.
But the best-performing market in Asia was Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which leapt 2.9% to 23311.98, its best day of trading since September, when the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a new round of quantitative easing.
Hong Kong was helped by data out on Tuesday that showed China's manufacturing sector expanded for the third month in a row. The official purchasing managers' index came out at 50.6, above the 50 level that separates expansion from contraction.

Our Mission
Soccer Synergy's goal is to combine all the elements of an athlete, from nutrition, to flexibility, to psychology, to speed and strength, to technique, to attitude, to leadership, to teammateship, into one blended model that represents the complete athlete, the total game, the entire person. Playing soccer is more than being an athlete, and being an athlete is more than running fast, jumping high, and using physical skill. The mind must fuel the body, and the body must respond to the mind. The human spirit gives rise to the will that inspires the discipline and the desire. Beyond the talent, transcending the gift, is the will to push beyond limits. Soccer players are not average. Soccer players are athletes. And athletes are exceptional. Soccer Synergy maintains that it is the synergy effect of all components of human physical skill, mental strength, attitude, spirit, nutrition, leadership, and most importantly motivation that are the foundational elements of success and achievement.

Welcome to the new RacePA!
looking for some great information or some helpful tips on how i can gain the maximum performance out of my cobalt on the track, tire pressure, half or near empty tank of fuel, things like that!, numerous upgrades to the engine and exhaust, and running goodyear eagle gt's. thanks guys.
Just come to an event. Modifications will do nothing to improve your times until you get some seat time. Another advantage is you will get to see what tires everyone is running, etc. The only things I would really do is run around 1/2 tank of fuel, and show up to the event with around 40 psi in the tires so you can lower them from there if necessary. But the most important thing is actually coming to an event and driving.
I would love to have it dyno tested but dont know where one is around the pittsburgh area.
Quote from: nalepa2.2 on May 04, 2012, 06:35:15 PM I would love to have it dyno tested but dont know where one is around the pittsburgh area.There are millions...lol.Off top of my head:J&S, FJ, TPG tuning, Rodeheavers, there's one in Sarver by my house, ASAP, Not sure if ESE still has theirs or not.
It gets sketchy on a 1/4 tank. I can tell you that. haha
i havnt had any problems with the fuel pressure under 1/4 tank, ive had it almost completely empty and it runs fine,
and im running 17 inch goodyear eagle gt's
Quote from: nalepa2.2 on May 05, 2012, 06:41:39 PMand im running 17 inch goodyear eagle gt'sMaybe 38lbs front / 34lbs rear to start and adjust from there depending on sidewall rollover and feel.

Freshman Willie Cauley-Stein has been named the Southeastern Conference's Freshman of the Week for the second time in his career it was announced by the league office on Monday.
Cauley-Stein helped guide the Wildcats to a pair of critical SEC victories including a thrilling overtime win over Missouri on Saturday night.
The Olathe, Kan., native averaged 13.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. His 19 rebounds for the week, .647 field goal percentage, 10 blocks and two steals were all team highs.
Cauley-Stein began the week by pouring in a career-high 20 points to couple with a team-high seven rebounds and three blocks. He made 8-of-10 field goals in the win over Vanderbilt.
In the overtime thriller against Missouri, Cauley-Stein played in a career-high 35 minutes. The first-year player altered the game defensively with a career-high seven blocked shots. His 12 rebounds was a career-high tying clip, and it marked only the third game in his career with double-figure rebounding. He added seven points to the winning cause in addition to his second steal of the week.
The honor is the second of Cauley-Stein's career. He first earned the honor after becoming the first UK player to tally multiple double-double efforts on the season with an 11-point, 11-rebound performance in UK's final non-conference game of the season against Eastern Michigan.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Mascarello's 2004 Barolo Monprivato is an explosive wine with an almost Pinot-like expression of purity in its fruit. This round, sweet Barolo is extremely primary at this stage, with tons of dense fruit that almost cover the wine's tannins completely. Subtle overtones of roses and tar develop..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Pretty textbook Brunello with smooth bright berry nuances packed in a traditional, tight body. Good acidity and firmness with well structured, silky tannin."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Romirasco offers up a refined bouquet of spices, menthol, plums, prunes and French oak. This is an especially rich, sensual Barolo from Conterno. The Romirasco spends an additional 3-4 months in oak than the other single-vineyard Barolos, and in 2006 the wine seems especially..

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cascina Francia is all understatement and class. Silky, impeccable tannins support expressive red berries, flowers, mint and sweet spices.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Romirasco is striking. It possesses a cool, mineral-drenched personality similar to the Cicala, but with an extra dimension of textural finesse.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste."

Season Summary:
Created in 2010, Tensou Sentai Goseiger was the 34th entry for the Super Sentai series. It joined Kamen Rider W as a program featured in TV Asahi's Super Hero Time programming block, until the premiere of Kamen Rider OOO. This season tied in with the arcade game Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O, with the characters using cards resembling Cardass cards used in the game to transform and access various weapons, similar to the concept of Kamen Rider Decade and its link to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride.
Unknown to the people of Earth, there is a branch of humanity called the "Gosei Angels" whose mission is to protect Earth and all life on it. When Earth is targeted by an evil alien invasion force called Warstar, they destroy the Heaven's Tower, the bridge between the Earth and the Gosei World, home of the Gosei Angels, to keep them from interfering. However, five apprentice Gosei Angels are on Earth at the time and, while finding a way to return back home, they become the Goseigers to stop Warstar. But soon after, the monstrous Yuumajuu emerge from their slumber and the Goseigers receive aid from a special being called Gosei Knight who once fought against the Yuumajuu in the past. But even after they defeat the Yuumajuu, the evil robotic Matrintis Empire rises to take over the Earth with the data acquired from the last two groups. Once they are defeated, the Goseigers face their greatest enemy in the one who has been manipulating the other groups from the very beginning: a rogue Gosei Angel who took their mission to protect Earth to a dangerous extreme by planning to destroy all life and recreate the world in his image.
In order to celebrate the premiere of the 35th season of Super Sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, RangerCrew will be hosting monthly, seasonal discussions. A new month means two new seasons. Throughout the month, we'll post questions to the fans to get their input on various topics regarding the particular seasons. Feel free to share your favorite episodes and moments, as well as your personal critiques about the seasons.
We ask that the monthly, seasonal discussions stay on topic.
Each month, a mod will create two threads like this and sticky them.

It can't be easy to learn that one's ancestor is a literal horse's ass. But sad-sack Londoner Tom Chadwick takes such news in stride, again quite literally, as he acquires his great-grandfather's horse costume from a long-ago pantomime show, and after trying the rear end on for size, adds it to his collection of quirky family keepsakes.
HBO's droll-to-the-point-of-precious and occasionally delightful Family Tree (Sunday, 10:30/9:30c) follows Tom on an offbeat personal odyssey into his cloudy lineage. "In our clan, family is what disappears when you're not looking at it," says his retired dad, who keeps busy inventing useless objects like a fan for shoe trees. The dad is played by Michael McKean, who like the rest of the cast often talks directly into the camera, mock-documentary/improvisation style. The casting and the format are two of the more obvious signs that Tree is a Christopher Guest production.

For those of you in the know, you'll be aware that, for some time now, we've supported SUSE Linux on Hyper-V. Through our ongoing work and collaboration with Novell, focused on interoperability, joint customers can safely, and in a performant manner, run Novell SUSE Linux on a Hyper-V platform, and Windows Server OS's, on a SUSE Linux platform. To enable a more performant, and optimised experience for the Linux OS on Hyper-V, Microsoft and Novell have worked together to produce Integration Components that, once installed within the VM, optimise it's performance and give a much better experience overall.
The big question is, is how do you install them, and configure them? How to you optimise that VM on Hyper-V? I'd love to show you myself, but the guys from Microsoft in the US have saved me a job! So far, a 2-part video series has been produced, focusing on the install, configuration and more.
Here's Part 1:
Here's Part 2:
Definitely worth a watch if you're thinking of installing and configuring SUSE on Hyper-V, and make sure you make them full screen to make all the detail out!
I've had a number of requests for this type of documentation, and it seems like it's released under the radar, without a fanfare of sorts, however this could be one of the most important sets of documentation that you read around Hyper-V R2. Obviously, this information should be combined with any storage-vendor-specific information, such as that from NetApp.
Firstly, what is Cluster Shared Volumes?
"Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) is a feature that simplifies the configuration and management of Hyper-V virtual machines in failover clusters. With CSV, on a failover cluster that runs Hyper-V, multiple virtual machines can use the same LUN (disk) yet fail over (or move from node to node) independently of one another. CSV provides increased flexibility for volumes in clustered storage—for example, it allows you to keep system files separate from data to optimize disk performance, even if the system files and the data are contained within virtual hard disk (VHD) files. If you choose to use live migration for your clustered virtual machines, CSV can also provide performance improvements for the live migration process"
'Simples', right? Yes, in concept, but planning the layout and sizing of your disks is a more complicated proposition. Thankfully, here's the guidance:
Hopefully that helps with any storage questions you may have around CSV!
If I said there was a tool that could accelerate fixed-sized VHD copies by 10 times, would you be interested? If I said you could instantly provision and boot a new VM from a currently copying VHD file, would you be interested? Well, if the answer is yes, to either of those questions, then I have a couple of tools that you may find useful.
Hat-tip to Dilip, one of our MVPs for File Systems/Storage and author of 'Inside Windows Storage, for providing the link to VMUtil.
When you think about it, a fixed-sized VHD, typically, contains a lot of nothing. What I mean by that is, think about it, if you have a 100GB fixed-size VHD, and inside that VHD, you're only using say, 30GB, why should you have to transfer (for whatever reason) the full 100GB, when only 30GB is actually useful stuff? You could apply the same example to a backup drive – if I had a new backup drive of 1TB, and I'd only backed up 50GB so far, and I needed to move the files somewhere else, what would be quicker to transfer, 50GB or 1TB?
This is just one of many inefficiencies that exist within a file copy of a VM, that VHDCopy solves, by refraining from copying the meaningless portions that exist within a VHD.
Advantages include:
There's a datasheet here for more information, and you can always head over to the VHDCopy page for more stuff, including download links.
Building on VHDCopy, but providing more functionality, particularly around network transfers, as you can see from the table below:
Although it's not quite clear from the website, depending on the page you're looking at, both VHDCopy and VHDCopEE do run on the latest Windows OS's, both Server and Desktop, yet VHDCopy will only accelerate local transfers, rather than network transfers, for which you'll need VHDCopEE.
More on the 'bolded' ones later…
Again, there's a datasheet here, and you can head over to the VHDCopEE page for more info. You can grab the download here.
This one's pretty darn clever too. Think about it, you want to create a VM from say, a VHD that already exists. So, you copy, and past the VHD, and it takes x-minutes to copy. Using the above technologies, it'll be quicker, but we're still going to have to wait until the copy has finished to start the VM, right? Wrong.
VMProv allows a VM to be provisioned and available for use within seconds, well before the accelerated file copy has finished. Once the file copy finishes, the provisioned VM is no different than if it had been utilized after the file copy operation had finished. While the file copy is happening, the VM is fully available, and you may install any updates or new software. All changes made to the VM while the file copy is happening are preserved.
Cool hey?
On top of that, and going back to the bolded points under VHDCopEE, VMprov is designed to be used with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2 and its Rapid Provisioning feature.
Think about using SCVMM – whenever you're sending out a VHD from the library, it's typically going to be a file copy process, and the bigger the file, the longer it will take. Using VHDCopEE will speed up the transfer, and combining that with VMProv will mean you can start the VM up without waiting for the VHD to finish copying. Combine that with a Rapid Provisioning PowerShell script, found here, and you're going to accelerate stuff considerably.
You can read the VMProv datasheet here, and check out the VMProv page for further info. If you want to download it, you can, here.
That's all from me – make sure you check out the tools if you get chance!
Had a few cracking documents sent across to me from Steve Winfield, NetApp Consulting Systems Engineer in the UK, (and member of the Curry Council) which are particularly useful if you're scoping out a Hyper-V & NetApp combo, and also if you're planning on running Exchange, SQL and SharePoint on Hyper-V with a MetroCluster stretched across the WAN!
Now, although these documents are obviously aimed at NetApp Storage backends, some of the best practice hints and tips will be applicable to Hyper-V on other platforms too, however, if you're using NetApp and Hyper-V, you'll find this info spot on.
One of the key contributors to these documents (at least 2 of the 3!) is NetApp's Chaffie McKenna, who is also one of the authors on the NetApp MSEnviro blog, which provides a number of useful pieces of information around the 2 vendors' technologies. One for the RSS reader I believe!
Have a good weekend!
Earlier today, I was having a brief conversation over email with one of the chaps over at Intel UK, who had a question around Windows Server 2008 R2's use of Turbo Boost, which is a capability of the Xeon 5500 (Nehalem), that allows those processors to achieve additional performance when it is most useful. Some of you may relate this almost to a controlled, automated overclocking as and when necessary. Now, although I'd say my knowledge of Windows Server 2008 R2 is pretty good, I didn't know the answer to this little belter, so I bing'd.
The Performance Tuning Guidelines for Windows Server 2008 R2 is what I found.
Aside from answering the question around Turbo Boost (see pages 14-16 of the doc if you're interested in tweaking Turbo Boost in R2 to kick in on the 'balanced' power setting, as usually, by default, it's only applicable on High Performance), I found there was a wealth of info on Web, RDS, Hyper-V and more. If you want a more exhaustive list:
Very useful indeed, and at just over 90 pages, we're not talking a novel here. If you're interested, grab it here.
Some of you may already be aware of this, but for those of you interested in keeping technologies like AD, System Center Operations Manager, and Hyper-V running smoothly, the first in a series of MOF Reliability Workbooks may be of use. If you're not au-fait with MOF (a bit like me!)…
Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) 4.0 incorporates the core requirements of industry best practices and frameworks into one free, easy-to-understand set of guidance. MOF 4.0 delivers practical guidance for everyday IT practices and activities, helping IT professionals establish and implement reliable, cost-effective IT services. It integrates community-generated processes; governance, risk, and compliance activities; management reviews; and Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) best practices. MOF 4.0 is a framework that provides guidance across the IT service lifecycle
As I said, the current guides available address AD, SCOM and Hyper-V, but there are more to come. In a nutshell, this series of workbooks provides the knowledge, specific tasks, and schedules needed to keep technologies running smoothly so you can deliver the services your organization expects. Each workbook includes maintenance and monitoring tasks, common risk areas, and standard changes for the ongoing care of specific technologies. The series also includes an administrator's guide for customizing these technologies for your organisation.
If you're interested, and would like to download the free guide (currently in beta), you can grab it from here: https://connect.microsoft.com/InvitationUse.aspx?ProgramID=1880&InvitationID=SAMI-HWK9-XB3Y&SiteID=14
Back in October 2008, I was in the North-West with one of our Virtualisation Partners, Nviron, with, at the time, a prospective customer; Chester Zoo. When you think of Chester Zoo, or, any zoo in fact, the last thing that typically springs to mind is IT, especially virtualisation. When you think zoo, you think monkeys, zebras, and occasionally, the odd giant wildebeest, but not Live Migrating VMs and High Availability along with more acronyms than you can shake a stick at.
Anyway, Chester Zoo, like many organisations, were evaluating virtualisation platforms, and at the time, we discussed the Microsoft virtualisation options that were on the table. Namely, a released Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, and an upcoming R2. We also went into a fair amount of discussion around the management of said virtual estate, and the value of the System Center management suite.
Zoom forward a few months, and Chester Zoo, along with Nviron, were part of the Rapid Deployment Program (RDP) for R2, and deploying, with Microsoft/Partner support, pre-released code into production.
Zoom forward to November 2009, and Phil Morris, Chester Zoo's IT Chief, is on stage at TechEd Europe, in the keynote, talking about how Chester Zoo benefited from the R2 technologies. Awesome stuff, and you know what they say…from small acorns…
If you're interested in finding out more about their deployment, and their experiences with the technology, and what it's given them from a technology and business perspective, yet also, explore how they went through the analysis, planning, piloting and roll-out of their virtualisation project, their motivations and most importantly the business requirements which led them to consider virtualisation technology as the answer, then this webcast could be for you.
If you're interested, head on over to this page on The Register, register (sorry!) and enjoy! It takes place on the 21st January, at 11am GMT.
There's been a lot in the press just recently around Microsoft and HP working together on joint initiatives, and trust me, it's great news. If you've not seen all the announcements, there's a simplified version of the announcement here.
Jump back a few weeks though, 8th December to be precise, where NetApp and Microsoft Announce Three-Year Pact Spanning Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Storage Management which for me, really topped off a fantastic 12-18 months I've had working closely with NetApp, who I believe, have been one of the most proactive vendors Microsoft works with today. Go back to November 2008, at NetApp Insight 2008, in Prague. I'd been invited over to deliver a joint Microsoft and NetApp speaking slot, on Hyper-V with NetApp technologies. The room was near full, so the interest was there, but it was clear to see from things like the keynote speeches, that VMware were the big virtualisation player that NetApp were playing ball with, though Hyper-V was acknowledged as up and coming. To me, and my NetApp counterpart Steve Winfield (who co-starred in the NetApp & Hyper-V video series on Virtualboy TV (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)), this wasn't the position we wanted the Microsoft virtualisation solution to be in, so we worked tirelessly to help drive interest between mutual customers, in both platforms. Whether it was through video, blog, or face to face meetings, perception and awareness, even just on our small scale, were starting to change. Fast forward to November 2009, at NetApp Insight 2009, in Athens, Greece. This time round, hotel bomb-threats aside, Microsoft were a Gold Sponsor, (VMware were still Platinum :-(), which meant not only did we have a dedicated session, to talk about the business benefits of the joint platform, not just focussing on virtualisation, but Steve and I also got the chance to deliver not one, but two technical Hyper-V & NetApp sessions, focussing on Hyper-V, System Center, SnapManager for Hyper-V and more. The change, for me, in 12 months was excellent, and to cap the year off with this joint announcement, as I indicated earlier, was the icing on the cake. NetApp, with recent innovations in the SnapManager brand, along with SnapMirror, and more recent still, ApplianceWatch, combined with dedicated NetApp-Microsoft blog resources, are really starting to show that there is a massive opportunity for joint engagement, and long may it continue.
Would I expect NetApp to drop any relationship that would be considered competitive to Microsoft? Nope! Don't be daft! Is the relationship up to the level that they have with VMware? Time will tell on that one, but it's a massive step forward from where we were 18 months ago, and it'll only get stronger through this alliance.
So, on to the aim of the post!!
Webcast - Virtualize SharePoint and SQL Server Now - Maximize Efficiency and Availability with Hyper-V R2 and NetApp Are you considering running Microsoft Office SharePoint or SQL Server in a virtual environment? Join us for a live Webcast to learn how you can increase resource utilization, streamline management, and maximize uptime in your Microsoft environment. Luther Allin of Miller & Martin PLLC will also discuss how establishing a de facto standard of virtualization based on Hyper-V with NetApp storage has enabled the law firm to:
If you'd like to see what this infrastructure looks like, take a look below:
26 VMs across 3 Hyper-V R2 hosts, with SnapMirror replication across to a DR site – very nice :-) They're also utilising the System Center suite of technologies, including SCVMM, SCOM and SCCM for comprehensive management of the insides, and outsides of the guest VMs. No sign of DPM, but that's understandable seeing as they're using SnapManager for Exchange and SQL. DeDupe is giving them big savings from a storage efficiency perspective. No sign of ApplianceWatch on here, but seeing as it's a) free and b) integrated with SCOM and his current NetApp technologies, I'm sure it's in there somewhere!
The webcast will take place tonight, 14th January, from 7pm to 8pm GMT (11am-12midday Pacific Time)
To find out more, make sure you register for the webcast here and don't forget about the all important Data Protection Manager Webcast that's on just before it!
Would you classify yourself as a medium sized business? Do you have between 50 and 300 seats in your organisation? If so, a new Microsoft blog, focused on medium-sized businesses, could be right up your street…
Focusing on today's important topics in medium sized businesses, from cloud computing through to virtualisation, the Medium Sized Business Blog aims to help you to take a fresh look at your resources, strategies and planning through various perspectives and insights, relevant to your business environment.
The blog is still fairly fresh, only a few posts old in fact, but it's a useful resource to add to your RSS readers, or for those twitterers (?), you can follow the team on there too. The blog will also help you aggregate info from the Microsoft Medium Sized Business Centre, which has a wide array of information designed for the medium sized business.
If that tickle's your fancy, or you're just plain curious, head on over to the Medium Sized Business Blog. It's important to note that the actual blog is full size, but the content is aimed at Medium Sized Businesses… ;-)
Final webcast-related-post for today, I promise!!

Brandeis University: Refusal to Provide Due Process to Person Accused of Sex Offense
David Schaer, a student accused by a fellow student of sexual misconduct, was tried in an absurd kangaroo court, denied basic standards of due process, unable to question or face his accuser, and ultimately found guilty. Schaer sued the university for violation of promised due process rights. In an important decision, Schaer v. Brandeis, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts reaffirmed the longstanding precedent that rights guaranteed to students in college handbooks have the force of contract. In addition to ruling that colleges and universities can be sued for breach of contract based on promises contained in student handbooks, the court also reaffirmed the common law principle that colleges and universities must treat students with basic fairness even in the absence of such contracts. Unfortunately, three of the five Justices who heard the case concluded that Brandeis had met its legal obligation to student David Arlen Schaer in his disciplinary hearing. The factual issue was whether Brandeis had complied with the promises made in its own student handbook.
- "FIRE on CNN," January 16, 2001: On Sunday, January 14, CNN examined campus judicial systems, including the Columbia Sexual Misconduct Policy and the David Schaer case at Brandeis, on CNN & TIME. CNN interviewed FIRE's executive director, Thor Halvorssen
- "The Wall Street Journal's Dorothy Rabinowitz Investigates Brandeis Case," December 22, 2000: Dorothy Rabinowitz, a crusading editor of The Wall Street Journal, wrote a searing report in the Journal on the case of Brandeis student David Schaer. Rabinowitz, whose investigations of wrongful convictions changed the conscience of the nation, is scandalized by what she has discovered about academic injustice. Her editorial report, "University Days," quoted FIRE cofounder Harvey A. Silverglate and discussed FIRE's friend-of-the-court brief in Schaer's lawsuit against Brandeis.
- "Kaminer on Schaer," September 28, 2000: Kaminer's dissenting critique of FIRE's analysis.
- "Although Schaer Loses Case, Supreme Judicial Court Reaffirms Fundamental Student Rights," September 27, 2000: The Schaer v. Brandeis ruling is a step forward, not a defeat, in the fight for campus due process. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts reaffirmed longstanding precedent that rights guaranteed to students in college handbooks have the force of contract. Unfortunately, three of the five Justices who heard the case concluded that Brandeis had met its legal obligation to student David Arlen Schaer in his disciplinary hearing. The factual issue was whether Brandeis had complied with the promises made in its own student handbook.
- "Campus Kangaroo Courts Under Fire; Lawsuit Highlights Due Process Violations," July 20, 2000: There is virtually no place left in the United States where kangaroo courts and Star Chambers are the rule rather than the exception—except on college and university campuses. This week's front page story in The Chronicle of Higher Education investigates the case of David Arlen Schaer, a former undergraduate student at Brandeis University whose lawsuit against Brandeis reveals a common campus scenario.
- "Amicus Brief Schaer v Brandeis University," May 4, 2000: FIRE has joined with the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts in filing an amicus brief supporting the rights of Brandeis University undergraduate David Arlen Schaer to due process and fundamental fairness.

Frostwolf Skull on defiler is an interesting item because it gives her an excellent increase in stats and hp, which she really needs, and its orb effect synergizes so well with her ulti. Her ulti does alot of dmg if focused on an enemy hero but most of the time enemy heroes run away from it with ease and chasing them wont result in effectively damaging them as the spirits are so slow to move. Frostwolf skull causes a 30% constant movement slow to the enemy hero being focused. That way you can hit them, get close to them and then just focus them and let your ulti own them. The only problem with frostwolf is that it's really expensive and you don't get it until late game, at which point chasing individual enemy heroes is dangerous. But if you are chasing with team mates you are sure that the person you are chasing won't escape alive. If you are good at lane farming / last hitting you might manage to get it relatively early. The earlier you get this item the more devastating it is imo.

Just a quick update. Skill build stays the same. Items are basically the same. You can swap out Ghost Marchers for Plated Greaves if your team needs it. And because Defiler doesn't really need to attack, Void Talisman can come in handy vs Physical DPS carries. Sac Stone still works wonders as the core item even though it has been nerfed several times.
When ever i play defiler i get a bottle then do plated and helm then do sac stone to frost or sheep stick? what do u think?
blood challace stupid op on defiler wave every time cooldown is up all game, bo challace boots healthtube --> sac heart you can spam your nuke all game gg
out of date.
This guide needs images displaying skill ranges and 3 or more replays. Item build should also be reconsidered with new items.

Looking at the Battle of Gettysburg Through Robert E. Lee's Eyes
Anne Kelly Knowles, the winner of Smithsonian American Ingenuity Awards, uses GIS technology to change our view of history

In a Civil War magazine some time ago an author created photographs of what Lee could see of the Union Line on day 3, using binoculars that had the same power as Lee's. The result was a fairly poor vision of the Union lines. I tried the same using a set of military binoculars that I own. These are much stronger than what Lee had. I still could not get a view of any depth of the Union Line. Lee was looking up the rise and his depth of vision was very limited, as someone else pointed out in a comment. Meade had the interior lines and could concentrate his troops better than Lee could with a smaller army and exterior lines. Lee should have known that the Union troops had to be there.

if the Gettysburg map is so interesting and useful, why is it not easy to find and look at (assuming that it is on the site at all) very frustrating for someone actually interested in the subject matter. Never did find it. also, since Little Round Top was actually undefended, exactly what troops did Lee supposedly not see. A lot of work to prove something that didn't matter.
Posted by dave sabine on June 28,2013 | 09:49 PM
Making the frontal assault on the third day turned into a disaster. Gen. Longstreet opposed the move. Gen. Lee should have heeded Longstreet's judgement.

I have had my own questions about the lack of discussion of Stuart's attack on 7/3. I have always thought that it was ignored because it failed. One source I read even said that it was nothing more than a side show. Yet, viewing a map even without GIS, one can see the folly of sending a frontal attack across a mile of open fields against a dug in enemy. Without Stuart, Pickett's Charge, indeed, makes no sense.
Posted by Karl Strohschein on December 29,2012 | 06:01 PM
Gee, I was taught how to use a topographic map and a ruler to construct visibility diagrams as a 2nd Lt at Ft Sill back in the '70s. Now that was hard work; GIS make this a lot easier. But the concept of understanding visibility as part of terrain analysis is by no means New Technology.

Very interesting article. I was just in Gettyburg painting fences at the Trosler and Klingel Farms and following my 11th PA assistant surgeon great granddad's story. Amazing to be on the battlefield. I have always used maps to interpret history (even with kids) and recently have been looking at GIS to understand about earlier settlements or beginnings. I uncovered an early engraving of Whatcom in 1858. What was exciting, is that it showed the Pickett House, built in 1856 for Captain George E Pickett when he was at Fort Bellingham. It also showed the shell of the first brick building in Washington Territory. Both buildings are still here. To make sure everything was what I thought it was, a friend with a GIS program that matches old Sandborn maps, sounding charts and sketches done by the boundary survey with buildings standing today or existing only in photos. Everything is in place. This tool is definitely helpful for figuring things out. By the way, I'm a Kalamazoo College grad.

It seems that several controversies about Gettysburg are muddled here. The 7/2 attack, on Little Round Top, isn't the one that mystifies historians; that was Pickett's charge on 7/3. I believe it's been generally understood for quite some time that Hood (who led the attack on the 2nd) and others told Longstreet about problems to come if Little Round Top were approached directly, and Longstreet sent to Lee at LEAST once asking for latitude to change direction, and was refused. So trying to explain Lee's orders on the 2nd based on his not having known there were issues is problematic. Also: the description of Union forces massing to repel an attack better describes 7/3 than 7/2. Famously, Little Round Top was undefended @ start of 7/2, and it was only a 'chance' observation of this by the North's Warren, who pulled forces out of line to rush to the top a hair's breadth ahead of Hood's men, that caused it to be defended at ALL; no Southern commander could've observed massing defenders because they weren't THERE. If one wishes to consider causes for the ordering of Pickett's Charge (the TRULY 'mystifying' command of Gettysburg) the idea has been proposed that Pickett was only HALF the intended attack; Stuart & the South's cavalry arrived the night of 7/2, late at the scene; Lee ordered him to swing round behind the Union line & attack the center from the side opposite Pickett, creating a pincer that might've sown confusion sufficient to allow Pickett to break through. But Stuart's attack was broken by Union cavalry, which proved more than a match for Stuart for the first time in the war. sincerely, Tom Wheeler

Insightful read. I was especially interested in the use of GIS to track the Holocaust and how it can be used to identify future threats of genocide. I agree with other comments related to the strong impact that can be made on students when being taught with innovative and dynamic teaching methods. Clearly a professor who takes pride in their work provides an excellent environment for learning. Well done Professor Knowles.

A retired History teacher of 36 years, where were you when I was teaching AP US History!? I find the GIS a fascinating addition to what we already know in history. It would have made for more interesting motivation for students when I taught! I find this very interesting and hope I see more in the future!
Posted by Bernard Factor on November 30,2012 | 10:27 AM
The article overlooks another vital point of history: how much Lee observed at the battle is open to dispute. He was suffering from dysentery and also may have had a recurrence of malaria during much of the battle so he may have been away from any useful observation point during parts of it. If you're at the latrine relieving your bowels or shivering in your tent under a blanket you're not going to see very much about what's going on on a battlefield. Maps may be important but one must integrate other knowledge about events, too.

As hesitant as one might be to own up to it in the light of all the superlative-drooling and hive-breaking-out-in that's been going on since his first American visit, Elton John really is a gas.
The sad part is that those assigned to give him a hand in the recording studio during these sessions were apparently something less than positive about his being a gas and consequently gave him all manner of over-production as well as a hand, the result being that his first American album is something less than the gas it might have been.
The major problem with Elton John is that one has to wade through so damn much fluff to get to Elton John. Here, by the sound of it, arranger Paul Buckmaster's rather pompous orchestra was spliced in as an afterthought to flesh out music that had sufficient muscle to begin with, their choirs and Moogs and strings threaten to obscure Elton's voice and piano, everywhere that they appear at least momentarily diverting the listener's attention therefrom. Those acquainted with producer Gus Dudgeon's brilliant work with the Bonzos have ample reason to be mightily disillusioned with the good fellow for the excesses he allowed to run rampant here.
But don't be scared away, for so immense a talent is Elton's that he'll delight you senseless despite it all. He's equally effective belting gospely rock and roll raves like "Take Me To The Pilot" and the already much-covered "Border Song" (neither of which one can resist leaping up heatedly to boogie to) in a tuneful snarl and intoning pretty McCartneyesque ballads like "Your Song," "I Need You To Turn To," or "First Episode at Hienton" in a warm, intimate and wonderfully sympathetic tenor. In "No Shoestrings on Louise," a respectful send-up of the Stones' "Dear Doctor," he manages to sound like the perfect synthesis of all the luminaries mentioned above without once removing his tongue from against his cheek. And the orchestra was needed on neither "Sixty Years On" nor "The King Must Die," for on both his voice creates sufficient drama on i

At least 15 killed in Sri Lanka suicide attack |
Tuesday, 10 March 2009 | |
COLOMBO (AFP) — At least 15 people were killed on Tuesday and another 60, including a government minister, were wounded in a suicide bombing in southern Sri Lanka blamed on Tamil Tiger rebels, officials said. The attacker targeted politicians attending a function at a mosque in the town of Akuressa, and came as the ethnic rebels continue to lose ground in the face of a fierce government offensive on their shrinking northeast base. The attacker targeted politicians attending a mosque in Akuressa Some 20 people, including Postal Services Minister Mahinda Wijesekera, were wounded in the attack. He was reported to be fighting for his life in a local hospital. Culture Minister Mahinda Yapa Abeywardene was initially listed as wounded because he was covered in blood, but was given the all-clear and found to have been covered with the blood of other victims. "We were talking in procession and just passing the entrance to the mosque when there was a blast. I thought it was a big fire-cracker," Abeywardene told AFP by telephone from Akuressa, 160 kilometres (100 miles) south of Colombo. "My clothes were covered in blood and I started running. Later I realised that I was not hurt, but I had blood from someone who was hit in the blast. "There were lot of school children and I fear a lot of them were wounded." Military spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). "It is an LTTE suicide bombing," Nanayakkara said. The guerrillas carried out a similar attack in April 2008, killing highways minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle as he took part in a national celebration ahead of the traditional New Year. There was no immediate claim of responsibility from the Tamil Tigers over the latest attack. The pro-rebel Tamilnet website however reported that at least 74 civilians -- many of them children -- had been killed and 100 others wounded Monday and Tuesday in army shelling of LTTE -controlled areas in the north. It accused the Sri Lankan army of engaging in "intensified indiscriminate shelling" of known civilian areas. The government insists it is trying to protect civilians and accuses the Tigers of using them as "human shields." Two years ago, the Tigers -- who have a long and bloody record of suicide attacks -- controlled large swathes of the north and east of this South Asian island, but have suffered a series of major setbacks. weekend as they fought to defend the small area of territory still under their control. On Sunday, the government said its plan to defeat the LTTE once and for all had entered its "final phase". The Sri Lankan government bans most journalists and aid workers from the north of the island, meaning such claims cannot be verified. The government withdrew from a Norwegian-brokered truce at the start of last year, after accusing the Tigers of using the peace process to re-arm. Courtesy: google.com |
