Hi, all--
I'm the publications director for an academic division of a large university. At any given time I'm tracking (and usually directly responsible for) 10-15 book projects in various stages of acquisitions, editing, production, etc. Traditionally, I've done all of my tracking using simple layouts in Excel. But since I've "gone GTD" I've realized how inefficient the whole thing is. (So inefficient that I dread updating my schedules, and often end up just handwriting on printouts because the formulas are so hard to work with and such a PITA to adjust--I'm not very sophisticated technologically, I'm afraid.)
I'm now looking for some good, intuitive project scheduling software. Most of my projects are fairly linear, the task structures are replicable, and they only rely on a few people (mostly freelancers). So I don't need the horsepower (or the expense and steep learning curve) of MS Project. But I haven't found anything else out there that seems to be a good alternative. Project KickStart is nice for what I need, but it doesn't allow for dependencies. Since I can't typeset a book that hasn't been edited, if the editor is late on a project I want to be able to run out the rest of the schedule automatically (or tweak it), which PKS doesn't do. It's absurd to have to go in and adjust 65 tasks by hand because something at Task 2 gets delayed.
Does anyone know of a program that might do what I want? Gantt charts are nice but not essential. Compatability with MindManager is nice but not essential.

Best Free and Low Cost Resources for Small Business Owners
May 13, 2011 at 5:47 pm kathykormanfrey 14 comments
Here are the top free and low-cost online resources for small business courtesy of our young entrepreneur profile from April, Grade A Marketing founder Amanda Fischer. If you don't read on, you'll be missing out.
"How to" Resource for Small Business: www.Web20blog.org
The Web 2.0 Blog focuses on sales and marketing tools and topics that are useful for small business owners and marketing managers. This blog is very much a "how to" and "how we've done it" source of information. I have to admit that I, along with a few of my strategic partners, sponsor and contribute to this blog.
Preferred CRM: www.Batchbook.com
Batchbook, a robust customer relationship management (CRM) software with small business prices, is a good alternative to the incumbent Salesforce.com. This solution is best for a sole-proprietor, consulting business. This product is marketed as "the social CRM", but unfortunately, it does not live up to its potential in that arena.
Best Social CRM: www.Gist.com
Gist provides you with the latest news, blog posts, and tweets for anyone in your network delivered where you want it, when you want it. Gist is better than Batchbook for this purpose because it instantly aggregates all your contacts' posts on Twitter, Facebook, etc. instead of having to be painfully entered in and uploaded one by one.
Best Microsoft Email Plug-In: www.Xobni.com
Similar to Gist, the Xobni plug-in works automatically following download. The program allows you to view all correspondence with each of your contacts on one panel. If connected to the internet, the contact will also be instantly linked with their picture through a Facebook or Linked-In account. Xobni is less buggy than Gist and integrates well with your normal processes if you use Outlook as your email platform….and there's a free version.
Preferred CRM with Project Management: www.Solve360.com
Best know your prospects and clients by keeping their all their information integrated in the same program as you manage their projects. Solve360 is a Norada product helping businesses stay organized when multiple people are working on each client project.
Preferred Marketing Manager: www.MailChimp.com
Mailchimp is the most cost-effective, user-friendly marketing manager. I have experience using iContact, Constant Contact and Vertical Response.
Preferred Web Monitoring: http://www.google.com/analytics/
Google Analytics is a free program allowing for site owners and web-professionals to monitor site statistics including visits, clicks, referral links, traffic sources and time spent on the site.
Best Accounting Software for working with accountants:
There are many accounting programs and not all accountants are well-versed in each, but they all know Quickbooks.
Best Accounting Software for tracking time and invoicing clients:
The program is most appropriate when multiple employees or contractors are working on a single project and billing for time. Otherwise, use Quickbooks because accountants like it.
Preferred Social Media Manager: www.Hootsuite.com
Hootsuite allows you to manage multiple social media accounts simultaneously. It also allows you to schedule posts in advance.
Cool Real-Time Search Engine for FB and Twitter: www.Kurrently.com
Search any topic of interest and find out what people are saying on Facebook and Twitter. It's fun and can help you find quality articles (and lots of junk) on any given topic.
Forming a Legal Entity: www.Legalzoom.com
Do not waste time or money hiring an attorney to assist you in forming some of the more simple legal entities. Legal Zoom guides you through the business conception process, leaving very little chance for error. Sadly, Legal Zoom will try to up-sell you at every turn. Don't be fooled by the GoDaddy.com –like attempts, prompting you to add services to your cart. Just form your LLC, or your corp., or whatever, and seek advice from a real professional with regards to the other stuff.

COLLEGE STATION -- Texas A&M is not set to begin their SEC cross over rivalry with South Carolina until 2013, but by luring new Athletic Director Eric Hyman from Columbia to College Station, you could argue the Aggies already have the first victory in the series.
Hyman left South Carolina after seven years to take over the athletic program at Texas A&M.
Hyman's ties to the SEC will help the Aggies during their transition into the new league and it will also make for an interesting storyline when A&M faces the Gamecocks.
Hyman said, "I think there's going to be a few people from South Carolina looking forward to playing us in 2013. I'm going to look forward and all of our people are going to look forward to playing them but I might be a little more nervous than everybody else. That's one I'd like to do fairly well with."
The Aggies and Gamecocks have never met on the football field.

Shouldn't be any different to Ivy Bridge vs Sandy Bridge-E (or Sandy Bridge vs Bloomfield before it). Faster single/lightly threaded performance for mainstream desktop where the workload is generally compatible, and more cores/larger cache for heavily threaded workloads for HEDT/WS. Niche marketing/free PR, and all purpose machines whose workload spans mainstream apps (gaming, encode, surfing for porn/torrents etc) and workstation. C600/602 (LGA2011 2P) are the current pinnacle of that niche market, but I've still built a few for people that like to combine all their hobbies- gaming and benchmarking for example, with a "working" system (my last two builds were for people involved in stock trading as work/hobby who also worked in 3D design fields...and of course, being "work related" builds managed to claim the build, maintenance cost and depreciation against tax). Other than the workload, everything else comes down to supply and demand. Pretty much. ROI is obviously going to depend on harvesting salvage parts. That has always been the case with processors, although defective cores argument might also include cores that are out of voltage spec in regard to those adjacent but fully functional. FWIW: 32nm Gulftown/Westmere also had a 2-core variant ( 4 inactive cores), the X5698, that was built primarily for high clockspeed and lightly threaded application. From what I understand, the inactive cores weren't defective- just fused off to allow higher frequency of the two active cores. It also retained all other aspects of the 6-core variants (full cache, max QPI etc.)
Or they want a clear incentive to move to a 'workstation' platform with Xeons instead of Core processors. Especially as they can charge quite a bit more than people will pay for 'consumer' quality.
Depends on the application. wprime for instance 4x8 cores at 2.7ghz http://hwbot.org/submission/2314808_dhenzjhen_wprime_1024m_4x_xeon_x7560_34sec_446ms vs 2x6 cores at 5.3ghz http://hwbot.org/submission/1088066_team.au_wprime_1024m_2x_xeon_x5680_39sec_839ms More cores still wins. Same goes for the most part with rendering.
They do make CPUs, they're called Tegra. They make Atom Z-series look like the AMD Bulldozer of the mobile world.
Better way to phrase that. They look like the Pentium 4 of the mobile world. At least in the occasional app Bulldozer worked. The Atom's just straight up suck.
Well, looks like I'm riding it out on the 980x until the next biggest thing. I'm not going to upgrade my entire platform for slightly better IPC. I want more cores to go with it.
Although I do not have the EE version (only a 970) I feel the same way. I am getting tired of waiting though... Bring on the 8 cores please
AMD has an 8-core processor. In all seriousness, if you need an 8-core Intel processor why aren't you running a work station with a 2P board or do you have 6 cores just for shits and giggles and have no real application that benefits from it? I got the 3820 because it was practical, performed just as well as the K edition chips on 1155, it has VT-d (something that k-edition 1155 chips do not have,) and because I wanted a platform that I could upgrade easily if I ever needed to. So far it has not disappointed me. I needed room for plenty of memory expansion because I run a number of virtual machines. I've occasionally found myself using 12/16Gb at least once a week with a typical usage around 4Gb at idle and 8Gb with my normal VMs open.
My guess is once AMD releases a 5-6 module/10-12 core (or 3-4 core per module variant) Steamroller, Intel might rethink releasing a 8 core IVB-E...
I know, that's what I'm saying... not that Vishera turned out to be too shabby itself (sign of things to come?). BTW, can anyone tell me, as I've asked before, but forgot to check for replies, what Vishera 2.0 and/or Trinity 2.0 (and some other name I totally forgot) are all about?
those are probably stepping revisions of the initial product, sort of like how Phenom II 965 BE had 2 different models (140 W, 125W, and subsequent 955-980s were all C3 stepping). but ya this is about Intel here so if you want to discuss about the AMD create a new topic dude
Point is... Intel sucks. ...LOL, no exactly, they all suck, just some less. There's a long way 'till IVB-E, as Intel stated some time ago. In the meantime, Haswell, and hopefully FX Steamroller will take away a lot if not all, of it's thunder, 8 cores or not (X89 boards might be interesting tho, if that's how they'll be called).
idk im honestly not worried about IVB-E having 6 cores, however i feel that skt 2011 should have atleast 1 more CPU gen after IVB-E, aka HSW-E.
Lack of competion from AMD... or the existance of idiots that are willing to pay a colossal premium for a tiny improvement (that most don't really need, or just isn't there anyway... ie gamers)... hence, Intel sees no reason to improve on that regard, beyond the measly IPC improvements IB brought that is... I'm a split between the 2... or maybe it's a mix of both. IMHO, If AMD managed to convince board makers to do dual-socket AM3+s... they might have ~$400 SB-E/IB-E killers on their hands easy, for the time being. Like the "quick fix" (failed at that time) dual FX-7xs "quad" cores, back in 2006(?).
Exactly. But for "instant" adopters (usually smart people who did their research... OK, on occasion, kiddies with a ton of their parent's money that thought that was to path to the fastest gaming machine) of these solutions, it did turn out to be worthwhile... especially now that we can finally say that software is multi-core(thread) aware...
http://www.techpowerup.com/174742/Intel-Envisions-Do-it-all-48-Core-Mobile-Processors.html There you go sir.

Going Green
What are we doing?
Here at The Bowes Museum we are committed to providing a good quality service whilst minimising the environmental impact of our activities.
Park and Gardens
A full survey of the grounds took place in 2008. A large number of birds, plants and trees were recorded within the twenty acre site.
Your ideas
We are always interested in hearing what your thoughts are on environmental issues, please email us at email@example.com.
One of the ways to help reduce our environmental impact is to assess what we are already doing. Monitoring of waste and energy consumption is now common practice at the Museum.
Supplier Screening
To encourage other business to consider their environmental impact we research companies and suppliers to assess their 'green credentials' before employing them.
Cleaning the environment
We now source cleaning products that don't contain bleach and the handwash in the toilets is phosphate free – better for you, better for the environment.
The Museum recycles paper, card and glass bottles and we are now beginning to compost waste from the kitchen.
Café Bowes now uses Fairtrade coffee beans. Fairtrade is a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers and workers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalized by the conventional trading system. If fair access to markets under better trade conditions would help them to overcome barriers to development, they can join Fairtrade.
Fairtrade is a tool for development that ensures disadvantaged farmers and workers in developing countries get a better deal through the use of the international Fairtrade mark.
Local Produce
Local Head Chef, Davey Booran is passionate about local food and sources many ingredients locally including meat, fruit and veg, dairy products and bread.
Local crafts
In the shop you can enjoy a variety of gifts including photographs, books, confectionary, drinks and jewellery produced by people in the region.
Car sharing
Like many of you who visit the Museum, we also try and share our travelling to the Museum. Many of the staff now drive to work together while others walk to work and some cycle.
Barnard Castle is the gateway to upper Teesdale and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There are pieces of literature about how you can enjoy this beautiful area in the leaflet rack at the bottom of the corridor or ask a member of staff for assistance.

In recent months there appears to have been a proliferation of articles describing peoples attempts to work without email (you can read some here and here).

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
630. Animals That One Owns
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
87:18 On Shabbos, one may feed animals and birds that are raised at his home and that depend on him for their food. However, one may not exert the effort to feed animals that are not raised at his home and that don't depend on him for their food. One may not even throw food on the ground in front of them. Therefore, one may not feeds doves because they can go and eat from the fields. One may put food out for dogs - even for stray dogs. This is permitted because we see that G-d has mercy on them from the fact that they have little food and He made their digestive process slow. (One is not permitted, however, to feed a vicious dog - Mishnah Brurah 324:31.) There is a custom to feed the birds grain on Shabbos Shira but this custom is not appropriate since we are not responsible for their food.
87:19 One may invite a non-Jew to his home for a meal on Shabbos. This is not the case on yom tov because of the concern that one may end up cooking extra on the holiday for his non-Jewish guest but this is not a concern on Shabbos (since we're not permitted to cook on Shabbos in any event). One may even serve him alone even though he doesn't depend on the Jew for his food. Since we have an obligation to support the needy - Jewish and non-Jewish alike - it's as if one actually is responsible for his food.

No political philosophy I ever heard of loves the human race as much as anarchism. Every other way of looking at the world says that people have to be controlled, and ordered around, and governed. Only the anarchists trust human beings enough to let them work it out for themselves.
Gregory David Roberts – "Shantaram" p.509

ausmisterfrank - about me:
Born and educated in the United Kingdom. (BA. Literature, Essex University). Anarcho-communist. I have been influenced by Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers, the writings of Peter Kropotkin and of Colin Ward (Anarchy in Action), the anarchist collectives in the Spanish revolution, Undercurrents magazine, New Musical Express, the bands "Soft Machine" and "Gong", the counter-culture of the early- and mid-1970s, and by the late Stephen Housego, B.A., M.A.. I am a member of the Niederkaufungen commune in Germany, one of the Kommuja network of communities, where I have now lived for 12 years.
What I do
For the first eight years I worked on our organic dairy farm. For the last few months of 2007 and the start of 2008 I worked part-time in our farm dairy, making cheese, and part-time in our commune kitchen, cooking for the over 70 people who live here.
From mid-March 2008 until mid-May, I toured Italy (where I lived in the 1980s) with my austrian partner, Martina, working on organic farms in Liguria and on the Isle of Elba at Teams 4 Nature (WWOOFing), and visiting the intentional community of Bagnaia near Siena, Tuscany. (See Bagnaia - Core Principles). On returning to the commune here, I concentrated on orchard care, apple harvesting and making juice. In the winter season, 2008 -2009, I was involved in orchard landscaping (hedging etc), fruit-tree planting and further orchard work. In 2008, Martina helped at the start of the new community at Augendobl in Austria, After a further early summer visit to Teams 4 Nature on Elba with Martina, I spent Summer 2009 partly in the orchards, partly in the dairy and partly in the kitchen, and she spent the summer here in Niederkaufungen in the commune.
I am a member of the Obstmanufaktur collective here, and now work fully in the various activities connected with orchards, fruit and juice.
Martina remains based in Vienna and continues to be actively involved in the Austrian community movement - see: Austrotopia.
At present, (Summer 2011) I am on sabatical in Austria, where I am involved in the Viennese community movement, especially with a group of people discussing the foundation of farm collectives/communes here. See: Hof Kollektive page - German
I am editor of our entries in the directories here at ic.org and GEN Europe, as well as author of "Somewhere over the rainbow....1986 - 2006. Twenty years of commune life, Kommune Niederkaufungen." I am also an occasional contributor to CALL. Over the years I have been a contributor to a variety of other periodicals, mostly in Great Britain, Italy and Germany. In addition, I write poetry and lyrics, and for several years sang and played drums in our commune band, "Menschliches Versagen" (Human Error).
Up to now, I have posted articles about historical communities in Germany, especially where little or no english language material is available, as well as on other communal themes, such as anarchist communities, which I think I have the experience and competence to write about. I would be very happy if other users could improve and add to the "stub" texts that I have posted. I will be adding new articles in the coming months.
As well as occasionally improving the format of my articles so that they are closer to the usual Wikipedia format, in June 2009 I started to post articles at the CounterCulture Wiki.
For the last 25 years I have been a member of various anarcho-syndicalist organisations, mostly sections of the International Workers' Association. At present I am a member of the ASN - Allgemeines Syndikat Nordhessen (anarcho-syndicalist "General Union of North-Hessen"). I am also a member of "Freies Radio Kassel", Kassel's free radio station, where, with other anarchists, we have broadcast the programme "LILI", (Libertarian Information, Local Initiatives) for the last ten years.
What I believe
"HERE AND NOW IS FLOATING ANARCHY." (Planet Gong 1977)
"In all is a spirit everlasting,
none can end what does not die;
it with us joins, through youth to age
to other flesh: this any one can spy. " (Baghavad Gita.)
"Have your fun whilst you're alive,
You won't get nothing when you die,
Have a good time all the time,
Because you won't get nothing when you die." (Chumbawamba 1993.)
This is what I believe and includes some of what I believe anarchism is. Here and now. My beliefs are always changing, because life is always changing, unstable, evolving.
(Beliefs are subjective ideas based on experiences and our reaction to those experiences. So they change depending on what happens to us, or how we consciously choose what happens – we can be self-programming beings if we want.)
Some quotes are from other people. Some ideas are worth repeating.
I think that you and I are living in interesting times. Here and now.
I am a product of the Enlightenment. "Cogito ergo sum". (Rene Descartes.) "I think, therefore I am." Or "I doubt and question, therefore I am."
I believe that it is natural and necessary to ask ourselves questions about who we are and about who we think we are. The way each one of us behaves and the ways in which we may wish to behave depend a lot on the answers which we get to these questions. I believe that by questioning myself (as well as questioning the social, political and economic systems in which I live) I will arrive at a wider and more detailed self-awareness. However, this self-awareness is not, and will not be, static or fixed, but changing and (hopefully) flexible. I believe that this awareness will be an awareness of my strengths, weaknesses and limits (real and imagined). I hope that it gives me the possibility to work within my limits, overcoming some of them, and to overcome my hang-ups. I believe that self-awareness is different from an arrogant self-confidence based on the belief that I am always right.
I am not always right. But I am still always asking questions, and the answers which I get lead me to make certain moral and ethical judgements.
For example;
"The most important fact about the sexes, men and women, is the common humanity we share, not the differences that distinguish us. " Ann J. Lane.
I am a rational, thinking person, male, believing that in all important ways, male and female are equal.
"Every man and woman is a star." I believe that within each person, male and female, there are sparks of something greater. We all share the light of reason and the breath of life. We are all equal in this. No one person is "better" or "higher". No one person is more spiritual or less spiritual, more evolved or less evolved. No one person is more deserving or more important than another. We are all different, but we all have equal needs; for clean air, clean water, nutritious food, shelter and love. Equal, here, does not mean exactly the same. Individuals need different quantities of food, drink and love. However, each individual man and woman needs these things: in that we are all equal.
This equality of needs and the equal satisfaction of these needs should be the basis of social, political and economic life.
One of the main ideas of anarchism is "mutual aid", helping each other; cooperation instead of competition, sharing with one another instead of trading. I believe that a society based on cooperation is preferable to a society based on competition. I believe that a society based on sharing is preferable to one based on buying and selling.
Anarchy literally means "without government". It does not mean without organisation or coordination. I believe that organisation should be "horizontal" not hierarchical. I want to live and work in collectives of equals. I want these collectives to be part of networks of collectives. (The idea of GEN – the Global Ecovillage Network, is one example of how this could be).
As I believe that we are all "equal": I believe that to discriminate because of differences such as sex/gender, skin-colour, age or ability is wrong.
I believe that each person should act and behave in a non-sexist, non-racist and reasonably tolerant way towards other people. I also believe that I have to behave this way before I can expect others to do so. (But I also believe that the "reasonable tolerance" should have limits).
I believe that I have the right (perhaps also the duty) to resist sexism, racism, militarism, ecological destruction and other forms of oppression and exploitation when and where possible, especially where and when they directly effect me. This is a right to self-defence against systems and ideologies which are trying to use me, a right to self-defence against people who are trying to put me down. And I believe that each one of us has the right to help our friends and comrades.
Which brings me back to mutual aid. Large parts of society are already based on voluntary cooperation and sharing. Anarchy is not an idealistic Utopia (which means "nowhere" – the opposite of here/now!). Anarchy already exists along side hierarchy, patriarchy and capitalism. Lifeboats on the coasts, volunteer fire-brigades, first aid helpers on demonstrations, WWOOFing, lots of clubs, associations, political groups; they all have elements of anarchism in them. And in many poor parts of the world people would not be able to survive without cooperation and sharing. The governments in the majority of countries exploit and oppress, want profits not happy, healthy citizens, pay soldiers and police more than teachers and nurses. People survive because they help one another, because cooperation and sharing are "natural". That is anarchy. Here and now.

Middle East Information - Links list
A sort of explanation and disclaimer:
Like many other people in intentional communities, I have been horrified by both the annihilationist anti-semitism expressed in the Hamas Charter and by a number of Islamic leaders and countries, and by the scale of violence perpetrated on the Palestinians of Gaza by the Israeli Defence Forces and the apartheid situation in the occupied West Bank. I have also been disappointed by much of the reporting about the Middle East in the liberal, left and main-stream media, and by the "black and white" thinking behind it where one side is good, the other bad. I don't believe it is that simple. Therefore, I have put together this list of groups which are, in different ways, attempting to promote human and civil rights in the area, which promote forms of non-violent resistance, and which are trying to promote understanding and reconcilliation between the peoples of the region. I am not directly involved with any of the groups, but have met members of one or two of them. The opinions and views expressed on the websites are not necessarily my views of the situation. Please use this list as a resource to find out more. Comments can be made on the discussion page.

Link o' Rama
Today I'm gonna take you on a magical ride around the internet filled with links to many of the articles that I've found particularly interesting. You can thank me later.
Did you see the story about Tim Lincecum and his disgusting eating habits? Little Timmy puts away a meal of more than 3,000 calories when he visits In-N-Out Burger. I have no idea how such a little guy could eat such a massive amount of calories.
Speaking of the San Francisco Giants – uh, um – the World Champion San Francisco Giants, over at Golden Gate Giants Dave Tobener give his take on how the roster is shaping up.
Did you know that baseball wasn't invented by Abner Doubleday? Historian John Thorn is challenging many of the beliefs about the foundation of the game. Speaking of Thorn, he also wrote a piece in which he trumpets the history of the game over the analytical approach that has led to sabermetrics.
Did you catch this series of articles written by yours truly? Trust me, if you've got 30 minutes of your life to completely waste, these articles are as good a way as any to spend that time.
Who should be the #3 selection after Albert Pujols and Hanley Ramirez?
Interested in a completely FREE 2011 Fantasy Baseball Guide?
Which players are getting little love on draft day but could still end up being a top-50 overall performer in the fantasy game in 2011? In Undervalued Performers for 2011 the experts speak out. Speaking of this piece, my potential breakout guy that no one is giving much love to is Cameron Maybin. Here's a nice write up on the potential topflight fantasy performer by Scott Miller.

BKE Extra Long Scoop Top 3 3
Extra Long tops are Hard to Find. Love these! I love these tops. I bought like 7 at one time...The only thing i didnt like is how tight they are. I got an xtra Large and they are very fitted, but that is okay bc i bought them to go under shirts...so they worked for me. Tops that are this long are really hard to come by so i didnt mind spending the $$. :) January 11, 2012
gleeke This shirt is really nice! Very long so you can wear it with leggings, tights, boots or jeans. It fits really snug so if you are self conscience about your weight I wouldnt do it! The sleeves are really long and go over my hands which is really cute. Layer it ! Very soft material. Wears great! January 10, 2012
Great staple! I really love this shirt. I first purchased the black and blush colors to make sure I would like them and after wearing them this past week I purchased three more colors. They are pretty fitted and stretchy. I got them in small, med, and large and they all fit about the same. I usually wear a small or medium in Buckle brand stuff and am a 27L in my jeans. These are pretty long I kinda bunch it up a little so that it looks ruched. Another plus for me on these is that they have very long sleeves actually go to my finger tips when pulled all the way down. December 6, 2011

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Pekudei - Rishon
Rabbi Menachem Leibtag
The First Jewish Accountant
Aharon's son Itamar kept the records of the materials donated for the building of the Mishkan. There were 29 talents and 730 shekels of gold. (A talent is 3,000 shekels. This is well over a ton of gold even by the more conservative estimates. More likely, it was around two tons of gold.) The silver came to 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, collected from the half-shekel a head census commanded at the beginning of parshas Ki Sisa. The copper collected totaled 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

May 2
Walk it off
1:34 a.m. — 6300 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive (GMD). Public Intoxication. Someone called to report an extremely drunk man attempting to walk southbound on Gulf of Mexico Drive. Police located the man, who was walking more in a southwest direction. He was given a ride home.
May 3
Party's over
6:40 a.m. — Off the Key. Assist Other Agency. Longboat Key Police assisted Bradenton Beach police after shots were fired during a party at a residence. Police helped detain 30 people while the residence was cleared. One subject was taken into custody. Two handguns and drugs were recovered at the scene.
Rude trespassers
3:34 p.m. — 5200 block of GMD. Trespassing. Two men were defiant and gave police a hard time after they were caught accessing the beach on private property. They were issued trespass warnings and directed to use the town's beach accesses in the future.
May 4
Flip of the switch
9:37 a.m. — 600 block of Longboat Club Road. Suspicious Circumstance. A woman told police that someone had gone onto the roof of her private penthouse and shut off the breaker to one of her air-conditioning units. The woman was upset because she had to pay a service technician to come out and flip the switch on her circuit breaker. Only the maintenance crew and the manager have access to the roof, and she thinks the manager has it out for her because they have had disagreements in the past.
Rage against the machine
7:08 p.m. — 6900 block of GMD. Vandalism. A man told police that as he was approaching his car in the Broadway beach-access parking lot, he yelled at four kids who were leaning against his vehicle. As they moved away, they began to hit the fence in front of the vehicle with a crow bar, causing $50 worth of damage to the town fence. The hoodlums could not be found — but are advised to try mending some fences.
Silence is golden
7:23 p.m. — 500 block of Ranger Lane. Disturbance. A woman reported that her neighbor repeatedly yelled and flailed his arms at her for no reason. The neighbor told police that he and his neighbor have had issues since he moved in eight years ago. The two were told that if they didn't have anything nice to say to each other, it would be best not to say anything at all.
May 5
In you can't stand the heat …
7:33 p.m. — 2700 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive. Fire. Police responded to the report of a fire, but determined the smoke was coming from a resident's kitchen. Hope you like your steaks well-done.

Or, conversely, we can see it as Mr. Morrison being the ONLY candidate in tune with parts of the city other people don't pay attention to or wish would just go away.
I didn't hear Mr. Hirschfeld show any concern for those people in SMD-2. If something isn't affecting a specific part of the city, why "would" you mention it? But we know it IS going to greatly affect those in SMD-2, but Mr. Hirschfeld didn't even mention it as an issue.
This could be construed as his (Mr. Hirschfeld's) lack of desire (or capability) to address issues of the whole city. That would be on par with what others have portrayed that he just wants to help the money people - those that can further him and his family's business.

- Working in partnership: supporting and developing researchers
Working in partnership: supporting and developing researchers20 June 2012
Event overview
Event now closed. Register your interest at www.vitae.ac.uk/ryi to be notified of future Vitae events.
Vitae and ARMA provided for the first time a unique opportunity to enable research managers, researcher developers and researchers to come together in a dynamic 'Open Space' discussion centered on identifying collaborative ways to help produce better research and excellent researchers.
In recognition of the potential for research managers, researcher developers and researchers to work collaboratively towards excellence in the research agenda, especially in relation to REF and Pathways to Impact, Vitae and ARMA in partnership hosted an 'Open Space' to stimulate discussion between all three stakeholder groups, to gain further understanding of how to working closely together can add further value to research.
Overview of what to expect and benefits for joining?
The grand challenge for this Open Space is to explore similarities and differences in language, roles and responsibilities along the research pathway, and to seek out ways of working together proactively help achieve research excellence. Through developing relationships and networks, and exploring those skills that they feel are essential to research excellence and innovation now and in the immediate future, participants gained a greater understanding of:
- How they can work together to add value to research strategy for sustainable excellence by partnership in researcher development, supporting research activity, and helping to build researcher capabilities
- Skills, roles and responsibilities of professional colleagues which are complementary to their own
- Ways to communicate their own skills, roles and responsibilities to colleagues in research and research management and administration
- How to establish new mutually beneficial partnerships to achieve common goals
- How to shape and influence thinking around the future of researcher development and research support
As an open space event, participants were guided to define for themselves the topics they would like to discuss on the day. All attendees had the opportunity to understand the methodology of open space, a skill they can take away and implement in their places of work. Facilitated by Dr Kevin Byron, Researcher Development and Enterprise Education Coordinator at Queen Mary University London, this was a dynamic opportunity to define needs and identify collaborative opportunities.

NEW YORK GOV. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) announced this month that he will push for a new marijuana policy in the Empire State, reducing public possession of small amounts of pot from a criminal misdemeanor to a violation carrying a $100 fine. California, Connecticut and a handful of other states already have similar laws, and legislators in New Jersey began considering a version of the policy last month.
As marijuana use has become more culturally acceptable and as policymakers have examined the many costs of strict anti-pot policies, states and localities have proposed plenty of bad ways to loosen up. Mr. Cuomo's is more sensible than many.

Factory X' replicas are made of a variety of materials and require different methods of care:
Bladed ItemsOur bladed items have stainless steel blades. These are unlikely to rust, but keeping the blade free of fingerprints and coated with a light coating of an oil similar to WD-40 is a good idea. Please do not use vegetable oil as it can become rancid. Remember, these are display pieces; they are designed only to serve as decoration . If used for anything other than display, a blade that is untempered (as ours are) will not break, but will simply bend and stay bent, and if it is sharpened, will not hold an edge. So keep them clean, keep them free of the oils and acids of finger prints, and enjoy their beauty.
The hilts, handles or heads of these items will be made of wood, resin, cast zinc with a patina or electroplated coating, or vinyl or leather wrap.
Please be careful with wooden handles to avoid splinters. Polishing or oiling the wood should not be necessary and may change the color of the wood.
Resin handles are fragile. Please be careful to leave them in their displays to keep them safe from bumps that may cause chipping or breakage.
Electroplated, patinaed or painted surfaces should be dusted with a dry, soft cloth. Cleaning solvents could cause discoloration or removal of the coating. Since these pieces are for display only, please handle them carefully and selectively.
Grip wraps of leather may be wiped or cleaned with a leather conditioner if the leather appears to be becoming dry. Please note that the application of a leather conditioner may change the color of the wrap. Vinyl wraps should not require any special care, other than a dusting with a dry soft cloth or a wipe with a vinyl cleaner.
Wooden, Resin, Fiberglass, Cloth, Aluminium and Framed ItemsReplicas of special fan-favorite items are made of a wide array of materials. While these are all display pieces, not designed for daily use, they are quite easy to care for. To clean these items, simply dust them with a dry cloth. There should not be a need to use any cleaning solvents on them, as these are only display pieces. If additional cleaning is required, please refer to any warning on the cleaning product to make sure the cleanser will not harm the particular material(s) from which your replica is manufactured.
Display of Prop ReplicasMany of our prop replicas have plaques that are designed to be hung on the wall and will hold the replica for display. To hang these display plaques, please follow these instructions:
1. Choose an area of the wall out of direct sunlight and out of the flow of foot traffic so that the replica and nearby persons will be safe.2. Affix holding brackets to the front of the plaque using the indentations as guides for placement of the hardware. 3. Locate a stud in the area you wish to hang the plaque. 4. Drill a hole (slightly smaller in diameter than the hanging devices you will be using) into the stud. 5. Screw the fasteners into the hole. 6. Hang the plaque on the screw. 7. Carefully place your replica on the holding brackets on the plaque. 8. Enjoy!
Note: Hanging the plaque without securing it into a stud is not recommended. This poses a risk of having the item rip out of the wall and falling. This can damage your walls, your prop and persons nearby.
Items without a wall mounting plaque are designed to sit on flat, even surfaces. Choose areas that are out of direct sunlight and are out of high traffic areas so your replica and nearby persons will be safe.

2 questions for which I'd appreciate any advice or pointers…
As I understand XSLT is a sort of CSS meets templating for XML? Anyone used this and can summarise pros and cons, what it's good for and what not etc?2. Mid-range mail servers
Can anyone recommend mail server software (for purchase and install rather than ASP) that is fairly feature-rich but not, say, the level or expense of Exchange Server?Many thanks
Hi Ashley
Here's a brief reply with regards to your 1st question from Dan, a colleague of mine. Hope this helps:
XSLT is a transformation language for use with XML - it converts XML into other (XML) documents. This doesn't immediately sound very useful, but in fact can introduce an entirely new dimension to your applications.
For example, our Content Mangement Systems store data in a raw XML format. This XML contains document content and metadata, but is not very readable in raw format. Each time a request is made to our CMS, the system can detect the capabilities of the user's system/device (e.g. browser variant/versions, device version (WebTV, PDA, Wap)). The system then transforms the raw XML with the correct XSL style sheet, in order to provide information to the user that both suits their device and their personal preferences/user profile. So, we would have one XSL file for WAP/WML transformations, one for WebTV transformations, one for IE (X)HTML transformations, etc.
So an XML/XSL based system does mean that your application architecture needs this additional 'transformation' layer, which can add to server load and request times (if it is transformed real time). BUT, it does allow you to easily create additional channels for your system, whether to a Kiosk or a PDF file.Benno

Thanks for that Benno/Dan
It seems then that XSLT is a way to add formatting to XML, which in itself defines structure of information not formatting (like HTML)? 2 further questions have occurred to me in my forays into XML which you may be able to help me with…
1. Adding formatting to XML
As you say, XML isn't a presentation language so it needs to be translated into one in order to be viewed. So what's the best way to do this? As far as I am aware there are 3 common ways to do this:
- put the formatting into the raw XML file itself. This seems rather to defeat the point of using XML though doesn't it? Fine if you want to end up with HTML only and insert (X)HTML formatting tags, but not much good if you want to format for mobile phones, TVs, print etc.
- write a custom program to transform the XML. This seems to be pretty common at the moment. Of course, you need the programming skills and you also need a programmer to change the code every time you want to change formatting, which isn't ideal.
- use XSLTs as you describe. This is pretty new at the moment but I guess if its taken up as a standard it could have advantages over writing your own transformation code?
Are there any other ways? What are the other pros and cons that I've missed out? What's most used at the moment and where are we heading with this? Any views most appreciated.
2. Content as XML vs. stored in Object/Relational databases
I'm pretty clear in my mind about what XML is and what the advantages are but I'm less clear about the exact pros and cons of storing content as XML versus storing it in an object or relational database. Is XML any easier to transfer or share between applications than data out of a well organised and standard relationship database (e.g. SQL Server)? Is it any quicker to load, parse and retrieve content than getting it from a database? Is it any easier to query or interpret? Is it that it is an ACSII format rather than any proprietary database format? And these days can you switch between the two pretty easily e.g. save out data from a database as XML and import it directly in with the element headings becoming rows and columns etc.?
I guess I'm thinking, so if content is submitted via a web form (for example) with all its metadata and so on, you could create an XML file out of it or you could write it to a database. Why is XML any more preferable? Or under what circumstances is one better than the other?
OK, so that's quite a few questions, but any enlightenment appreciated.
Hi Ashley
In response to your first question regarding formatting XML:
I agree, dtoring the layout and formatting within an XML file entirely defeats the purpose. I doubt there are very many people who are currently doing this. There are exceptions, but generally an XML file should contain a description of the content and the actual content.
XSLT is a great transformation language, allowing XML data to be manipulated, rearranged and processed very quickly. Also, XSLT 1.0 is a standard as defined by W3C (http://w3c.org), and can be used safely knowing that XSLT 1.0 will remain valid. Unlike CSS style sheets, which many people see as the equivalent technology for HTML files as XSLT is for XML, XSLT does not apply style to XML, but actually extracts XML data based on a set of rules, and places this on the Result Tree. This Result Tree can then be published to your web browser or whichever device you are using, and may not resemble the layout of the XML file at all. Having a different XSLT file to process XML content based content for each platform i.e. web browser, palm device, WAP device is straightforward, manageable and an effective use of the technology.
The disadvantages to using XSLT are a lack of familiarity and widespread use at present, the inability to do complex processing on the XML data i.e. XSLT allows some manipulation of the data, but is generally used to arrange the layout and formatting of the content according to rules and simple control structures. To compare data from one XML file to another, process the result and send a aggregated response to a browser would not be possible in XSLT. XSLT is also restrictive in the output formats it is capable of i.e. XSLT cannot currrently transform an XML file into a Word document. These kind of more complex transformations can be achieved more easily using code.
Also, quite importantly, XSLT is not a simple markup / transformation language. Although it is not as complicated as most programming languages, your average HTML coder will not be able to create or manipulate XSLT. You will still have to have someone trained in XSLT to make changes, much like you would need a trained programmer if you didn't use XSLT. People should not imagine an XML & XSLT combination will allow everyone to work on both content and layout. This is unreliastic and will still require specialists.
The advantages to using code to process XML files include the ability for coders to currently port existing applications which read from database recordsets to iterate through XML data, without much change to the code. Also, there is the added power of being able to integrate data from multiple sources, and process data extensively before relaying to a device. Generally however, it would probably be more efficient for programs which present content using code to extract the data from flat recordsets which tend to be more efficient than XML files.
In response to your second question, and the advantages and disadvantages of storing XML data as files, I do not see any great advantage in storing data as XML. XML does have the added advantage of being hierarchical, but looses out in so many other aspects. Object based database allow hierarchical structures to be stored, but are not used very often. XML is not as effecient as a database such as SQL, in both reading and writing of data. SQL databases tend to have indexes which speed up finding data, they store data in the most economical formats, and are optimised to allow multiple updates to the database concurrently. XML files generally will not allow to sources to update the file concurrently, and should only really be used in a Multi-user environment for read only activity. Also, XML files do not have any simple methods for querying, joining and compiling data like SQL databases do using the SQL language. There are some developments in this area, but they are currently in their infancy (XQuery).
SQL databases are optimised to store data, XML files are optimised for data transfer and sharing. I would not recommend using XML files as data sources unless the activity is read only, and the XML files contain only small amounts of data i.e. in the case of placing the content for one HTML page in a single XML file, which has a simple XSLT style sheet to transform the XML file into HTML. To parse a large XML file is time consuming, and each time an XML file is processed, the entire XML file is parsed regardless.
Many SQL databases now allow transformation of their data from flat recordsets into XML, and vice versa. MS SQL Server 2000 is one such database. If you wish to interact with the data as XML, but have the performance and other enterprise database benefits, this is your best option.
Hope this helps to give you a better understanding.
Hi Ashley
Here are some of the known pros and cons with XSLT.
1. No plumbing required for client side transformation of XML – browser can take care of everything (IE 5.x and above)2. HTML Forms can update the actual XML
3. An XSL document defines identify structural patterns within
an XML source document making it more effective than simple parsing.Cons:
1. Not all client browsers support XSL (including more and more browsers for small, wireless devices).2. Choosing stylesheets based on browser device characteristics, and then executing them on the server is difficult.
3. A key problem with scalability in regard to XSLT comes from the fact that the XSL interpreter needs to build the templates every time are called.
4. If your Web site is hit repeatedly while the parser is churning through a complex transformation, you will notice a significant degradation in performance.
New XML based web services from Sun and Microsoft like .NET are making the transformation of XML easier. ASP.NET the replacement for ASP 2.0 / 3.0 has similar syntax characteristics to XSL, and is using XML at the heart of its configuration.

for the second question:
There is three options I already used before as mail servers:
Infusion Mail Server at
Imail Server at
Sendmail at
http://www.sendmail.org (open source)
or http://www.sendmail.com/ (expensive as exchange) -
Hi Emanuel
Have a look at Postfix (http://www.postfix.org) which is a very rebust (and open source/cost free) alternative to sendmail. We are using this to run our mail gateway and a mail management program called Mailman from GNU (http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html) to run our mailing lists.
Both are excellent (Postfix is a very resiliable alternative to sendmail) and relatively easy to configure. The other great thing is your total expenditure to acquire this sofware is $0.00!

Four years and two months have simply flown by.
I came here an excited but nervous new anchor, and learned so much.
Through the tornado and floods of 2008, through the elections, the crime reports, the RAGBRAI tours, the happy times and the tragic times, I have learned this: there is still much good in the world.
There were some days it was very hard to read certain headlines.
But I could always count on a positive event and a positive story around the next corner.
From two grandsons raising money for their grandmother who lost her belongings in the flood, to a 92-year-old man deciding to skydive for the first time, you have put a smile on my face and in my heart.
I will miss you, eastern Iowa.
Thank you for letting me help you wake up every morning.
You have shown me that light is stronger than dark, and good more powerful than evil.
It is time for me to move on.
You are in good hands with Jeff Eliasoph and Natasha Chughtai. - They are really great.
Best wishes!
