Welcome to System z® Platform Test, also known as Integration Test. Our organization consists of various teams, including:
A team of z/OS testers and system programmers run a Parallel Sysplex on which we perform the final verification of a z/OS release before it becomes generally available to customers. As we do our testing, we gather experiences, hints, tips, and recommendations and publish them as the System z Platform Test Report for z/OS and Linux Virtual Servers.
We publish a new test report with each new release of z/OS, and a mid-release update. We also provide interim feature articles describing our most recent test experiences in between each test report.
Find test reports and interim updates in test report library
The z/OS System z Parallel Sysplex Recovery (GA22-7286-01) report describes our experiences performing recovery actions in our Parallel Sysplex environment.
Find test reports and interim updates in test report library
The Linux Virtual Server team's primary responsibility is to emulate leading-edge customer environments, workloads, and activities. This includes running Linux native on System z and as a z/VM guest in a heterogeneous Linux server environment.
After general availability (GA), testing of z/OS continues through Consolidated Service Test (CST), where z/OS service along with key subsystems and tools service continues to be tested together. CST recommends service on a quarterly and monthly basis with published results.
Integration test is just one phase of the testing that IBM performs on the z/OS operating system. For information about the complete IBM test strategy for z/OS, see the IBM Systems Journal article,
Read Testing z/OS: The premier operating system for IBM's System z server
What we offer
New! Recently we released a new edition of our test report which describes our experiences testing on z/OS V1R13. This new edition, titled z/OS V1R13 System z Platform Test Report for z/OS and Linux Virtual Servers, is located in our Test Report Library.

Colace FAQ
Is there a medicine for easy bowel movements? This is for my husband. He doesn't have constipation.
A: Colace (docusate) is a stool softener. Colace makes bowel movements softer and easier to pass. Colace is indicated to treat constipation and also pain caused by hard stools or straining during bowel movements. Colace can be taken with or without food. A bowel movement should occur within one to three days after the first dose. Colace can be taken regularly for softer stools, but it is important to never double up on medication. Side effects of Colace included stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/colace). This is not a complete list of side effects associated with Colace, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. When your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals and herbals, as well as foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescriptions and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and advise you about drug interactions and side effects. Tell your health-care provider about any negative side effects from prescription drugs. You can also report them to the U.S Food and Drug Administration by visiting http://www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088. Kimberly Hotz, PharmD. Back to Top

Intel introduced two new dual-core processors, the high-end Core i5 680, and the value-segment Pentium Dual-Core E5500. The former is an LGA1156 chip that runs on Intel P55, H55, H57, Q55, Q57 chipsets, while the latter is an LGA775 chip that works on most recent LGA775 motherboards. The Core i5 680 uses the 32 nm based Clarkdale core. At 3.60 GHz (27 x 133 MHz) with a Turbo Boost speed of 3.86 GHz, the i5 680 is expected to be the fastest dual-core processor ever made. Its embedded Intel HD Graphics controller is clocked at 733 MHz. It has L2 caches of 256 KB per core, and a shared L3 cache of 4 MB. It supports two channels of DDR3 memory. With HyperThreading enabled, the chip gives the OS four logical CPUs to deal with. It has a TDP of 73W. The Pentium Dual-Core E5500 is based on the 45 nm Wolfdale-2M core, it has a clock speed of 2.80 GHz (14 x 200 MHz), and FSB speed of 800 MHz. It has a shared L2 cache of 2 MB, and TDP of 65W. While the Core i5 680 is priced at US $294, the E5500 goes for $75. All prices are per-piece in 1000 unit tray quantities.
Sigh - do we REALLY need more 775 processors??? christ.... A lot of E-tailers & Retailers still have stock of E7200 upto E8xxx's - do we really really really I mean REALLY need another cheap ass processor to cover the cheap ass side of the market for the people that cant afford a lowend quad or OEMs that still have cheap ass 775 rigs to boot out??? Obviously - this E5500 is probably going to clock like a real motherf**ker like the E5200 did but thats a moot point as most of the people with some common sense have already moved onto i5. the 775 no longer has a stage to dance on - let it die already.
I'm still waiting for big fat pricecuts on the Q9xxx series. But sofar it seems like microsoft is done with huge pricecuts :/ a nice Q9400 for 99$ or something..
microcenter selling em for 179$ (q9550) was 150$ x2 week ago, sorry OT But true tho we dont really need another 775 just let it die
Those i5 speeds are really nice; we have finally&officially escaped from the Core 2 frequency regression era - the P IV are no longer champions I believe...
Problem is I live in the netherlands, and somehow most hardware is a lot cheaper in the states, and as far europe goes the netherlands is pretty cheap even, only germany is a little cheaper it seems.
Yes, many people don't want or need more. They want something cheap and efficient Though I don't see the point in another E5xx due to the existence of the current E5xx chips. You'd be hard pressed to find a 5200 that didn't pass 3Ghz.
you can get a E5200 for around 50-60GBP (77-87USD) though, that being said - the E5200 has been out a fairly long time now & I suppose stocks are probably starting to dwindle a little since i5's are now the focus of the low/mid range market. if you want low cost energy efficiency grab an i3, i5 or one of AMDs CPUs
Intel should offer low-power, possibly even lower clocked "old" processors. We really dont need any more "65W" dual core pentiums. They need to try and get under then 35W envelope so that passive silent coolers would work. Intel needs to think strategically on focus on the three "consumer" segments: 1. Speed enthusiasts, focusing on premium 2. Regular users, regular computers, focusing on cheap 3. Low power, HTPC, internet email terminals, NAS, Kids PCs, small scale servers, focusing on reducing power, where the strategic thinking about an upgrade path on existing equipment isnt "upgrade to go a bit faster" but rather "upgrade to be a lot more efficient and quieter". Boxed. With passive coolers. As the world begins to go nuclear due to ever increasing power demands, we the consumer should focus on lowering our Watt-print in everything except our gaming rigs.
I think Intel wants to support the LGA775 platform so that people don't complain that Intel abandoned them. Just like how AMD is support AM2 by using AM2+ I think.
The move that amd did is much better than intel's plan. It is already shipping low power cpu, normally with a higher cost. If intel does the same move, than it would be real trouble, as its cpus will cost much more.
The current dual core i5 and i7 mobile processors are 35W and below. The i7 620M dual core 2.66 GHz base 3.33 GHz turbo is 35 W TDP.
Mobile processors is normal that they are low powered. Despite of this, we are talking about desktop "old socket" cpus which we are not interested anymore. What would make us interested is lowering wattage.
How about an i5 without igp?? One of those blazing fast 32nm dual cores without igp would do wonders, besides being cheaper and having lower tdp, for those that dont really need a quad or dont want one, it should be nice...
They are kind of, mutually beneficial hardware & software lock in, but now MS needs to get it's OSes running on Cell, PowerPC, ARM, GF100 & R870if it wants a place in the emerging class of web/cloud focused devices between the Smartphone and Netbook where battery life can be traded against the ever increasing raw computational power it has been used to (and encouraged). While Intel needs to convince Android/Chrome/iPad and other emerging OSes to run on it's hardware.

hey guys,
recently gotten back into FSX again, really enjoying it but unfortunately my old joystick doesn't do the job any more
so i'm looking to upgrade to the more professional style controllers. any other pilots here have any controllers they can recommend. Not sure if i should look into getting the whole lot (throttle quadrant, flight stick, rudder / breaks) or just the flight stick but i'm certainly looking to go all out (except instruments and what not. not really interested in going that far yet)
thanks guys

Here we dollar got a Michigan where massive -- protest not stopping state Republicans who have a proven right to work legislation to move stops -- from forcing nonunion workers.
To pay dues and could become law as early as next Wednesday.
-- my next guest signature Wisconsin a belliard to Republican governor of Michigan.
Rick Snyder governor good to have you on what he did and it.
How we're going to get done if you think about it.
It's really important for a couple of reasons first of all it's all -- being pro worker we have hard working people on Michigan and it's important given the freedom to choose.
-- they should build -- choose whether to join a union or not this is about the relationship between a union workers.
-- a -- players -- unions -- about collective bargaining this is solely focused on their relationship and shouldn't people have the opportunity to say they want to belong or not.
The second -- says is I think that's going to be good for economic development for more and better jobs coming to Michigan.
We've watched closely what's gone and Indiana they've seen many more companies look at Indiana citing this as one of the factors the fact they did -- back in February.
And they could have thousands more jobs in that state because they became a right to work state.
They say that the unions do -- that you're presenting a Trojan horse here that you're actually out.
To destroy.
The unions and like Scott Walker Wisconsin this is their argument on its about the slow dismantling of unions Woody's.
On not at all I mean if you look at unions and Michigan.
They've done a lot of great things our state where the senator the labor movement going back in the last century.
And the 20s30s and forties people flocked to during the unions because they were helping -- working conditions wages all those things and people chose to join a union.
Now if you don't.
As did -- what does this legislation do it would.
It was it it would it doesn't value not to be -- -- union but gives you the choice would you want -- well that's the point you know as people used to choose to join a union and now.
If I don't believe it's appropriate to say just to keep your job you have to pay dues and be a union member.
So basically this creates an environment where people can say.
They're choosing to join a union because the unions put a value proposition to make it worthwhile and that the -- not providing value.
-- someone should be forced to choose so I -- this is pro worker legislation.
You know governor while I have you here this this job.
This woman's remarks council as the marks went viral after Susan -- -- is -- Councilwoman and -- talking about the posts Obama election environment -- -- you're familiar with it but for those of our viewers who were not.
And when you responded with dozens of course.
-- -- -- -- One of the -- -- out of Betty yeah.
He Lipton -- do you think he came home with -- amazing.
That's what you do.
What -- he didn't.
This isn't -- there are people.
It overwhelmingly supported video that's an event that didn't.
That -- Wait whoa whoa okay you want and exercise.
Leadership on that.
But it had a well it's unfortunate but I viewed as and that's one council woman's conference and I don't think anyone dreaming bigger and -- had their unfortunate comments to make.
One of the big challenges in Detroit is as the City Council and the mayor have not been on the same page.
And -- -- urging them to get on the same page quickly because they're running out of time they've been in a fight financial crisis for very long time.
It really is an emergency so all I'm asking actually up for review team to go land and spend thirty days.
Bombs starting next week to really say what's the situation and they better get biggest -- we need to look at other options.
But you know her comments sort of -- that highlight what has been.
Certainly an attitude -- -- unions and others.
To sort of seized the moment in the initiated to say Barack Obama we help bring you this election and there is much to be -- -- that governors you know that they did bring out the vote.
The passion vote for Mitt Romney for some reason the jazz turned out that he had hoped for never turned out he did on the democratic side unions were big reason -- that.
And they want some reward for that when you get a well again I I I would know Rory dive viewed as one council woman's comments.
And the whole thing has -- an -- -- about the unions do it seized on this that it went out and candidates running.
Today about don't touch entitlements -- that are.
Is so it's not just this councilwoman it does seem to be it.
Of those who were key backers of the president Democrats in general who say look we got you over the finish line don't forget about it.
Well that's one of the things you can look at this issue and you know because when you talk about giving workers -- freedom to choose isn't that something we should all be behind.
And so it is somewhat troubling when you see unions objecting gains so upset about this legislation because the point as -- shouldn't they be -- -- -- a value where people choose to join a union.
And not be in a position were simply people are forced.
You know send them dues because.
I'm they're told to in order to keep their job so that's why this legislation's important get Don and that's why I'm excited to see it move forward and hopefully we'll get it signed -- on the books next Wednesday or Thursday or so.
You don't about jobs governor there's a move afoot that if it were to come to -- -- sign it as you say well.
They're gonna recall you.
That just comes with the territory and -- if that whatever I can do to create more and better jobs we've had tremendous progress Michigan as you know -- -- to come -- statement country.
Where fiftieth out of fifty for much of the last decade.
I'm we have the six fastest growing state last year our unemployment improved dramatically we created -- 140000 jobs since I've been governor.
We're gonna continue that trend with -- a lot of great things I'm Michigan and this is another element of moving Michigan forward really reinventing interstate it's exciting.
Governor thank you.
Very very much but we we did reach two unions to little avail meanwhile I said it.

Often, when I am criticizing crimes inspired by Islamic extremism, I am interrupted by the remark that Christianity was once culpable of similar abuses. That Christianity may have been intolerant in the past, however, does not make criticisms of Islam's present-day intolerance any less valid. Also, Islamic intolerance is an immediate danger, whereas Christian intolerance is generally a historical phenomenon and no longer a threat to civilization. And Christendom's crimes were recorded by Christians themselves—a stark contrast to our politically correct climate, in which many, especially Muslims, are reluctant to criticize Islam.
Still, one might point out Christianity's historical shortcomings in order to avoid demonizing Islam alone. But this principle should work both ways: we should also avoid demonizing Christianity and be prepared to point out Islam's shortcomings. In December 2008, Boris Johnson, mayor of London, presented a biased BBC program on the Crusades that laid the blame for them entirely on Christians. The program pointed out that after expelling the Moors from Spain, Christians converted a mosque into a church—an act of "vandalism." However, it failed to note that the Crusades were a reaction against over 300 years of jihad and persecution of Eastern Christians, during which Muslims destroyed hundreds of churches and converted many others into mosques, including the magnificent Byzantine church Hagia Sophia.
Consider the situation in the Holy Land 100 years before Pope Urban II's call in 1095 for a crusade to liberate it. It was part of the territory ruled by the Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim, whose cruelties Christian and Muslim historians alike recorded. Fourteenth-century historian Ibn al-Dawadari tells us that al-Hakim destroyed the Church of Saint Mark in al-Fustat, Egypt (on the outskirts of modern-day Cairo), which Christians had built in defiance of a law forbidding new church construction. The al-Rashida mosque arose not only over the ruins of Saint Mark's but also over Jewish and Christian cemeteries, surely an act of vandalism. But the height of al-Hakim's cruelties was the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which, according to Muslim sources, began in September 1007. Also known as the Church of the Resurrection, this was possibly the most revered shrine in Christendom—considered not only Golgotha (or Calvary), where the New Testament says that Jesus was crucified, but also the place where he was buried and hence the site of the Resurrection. According to historian Moshe Gil, al-Hakim ordered that the Church of the Resurrection be torn down "to its very foundations, apart from what could not be destroyed or pulled up, and they also destroyed the Golgotha and the Church of Saint Constantine and all that they contained, as well as all the sacred gravestones. They even tried to dig up the graves and wipe out all traces of their existence."
A new generation of Western medieval scholars has tried to rectify misconceptions about the Crusades. Historian Jonathan Riley-Smith has pointed out that "modern Western public opinion, Arab nationalism, and Pan-Islamism all share perceptions of crusading that have more to do with nineteenth-century European imperialism than with actuality." Muslims, in particular, have developed what Riley-Smith calls "mythistories" concerning the putative injuries that they received at the crusaders' hands. This is not to deny, of course, that the crusaders were responsible for outrages, including what is sometimes called the First Holocaust—the massacres of Jews that began in Worms on May 18, 1096, and continued into Mainz, where the Jewish community, one of the largest in Europe, was decimated. It is rather to say that the Crusades are misunderstood on multiple levels.

My name is Sunset. Huge fan of Korn. I've only seen them once (so far). My first Korn album was Untitled, but I had know a little about Korn since 2007, but official fan in 2010. Been used and abused, but Jon's voice is helping me through. Been through the mills of pills, but Korn is helping me back up hill. I live where cornfields are our scenery. I am a child of the Korn/Corn.
Favorite Album: Follow The Leader
Favorite Song from Korn: Pretty
Favorite member: Jon mainly because he is so sexy, but they are all awesome.
Date(s) I've seen Korn in concert: 24/3/2011
Well, the new album has arrived... I want to know what you guys think of it! :) I really love it. It's one of my favorites. It is kind of hard for me to listen to it because of some of the lyrics remind me of some personal things that have happened.. Anyhow.. Not only do I want to know what you guys think of the new album, but do you also have a favorite song or songs from there?...

Jeesh I didn't check my profile properly and I didn't even notice that you wrote back... I started wondering.... :)) Thank you by the way :) I like being honest, it helps me to keep sane.

I'v got shitload of work to do and I'm not ready for exams that are just around the corner :O I'm so screwed!
Thanks :) I'm good. I think. The worst thing is that I'm best freinds with his older brother. I'm bound to see resemblance of him in his older brother.

Cheap Trick to revive Budokan show at El Rey
April 4th, 2013, 1:46 pm by BEN WENER, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERFrom left: Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen and Tom Peterssen in London, 2010. Photo: Getty Images
It's the concert that made their reputation and finally got them stateside attention. Naturally, Cheap Trick, a group that loves to resurrect its past with full-album performances, would want to commemorate its 35th anniversary with something special.
So on April 28, 35 years to the day after their first famous night at the Budokan in Japan, the band will play the exact set they offered that night at the John Varvatos Bowery boutique, former site of scene-shaping NYC club CBGB's.
Two days later, the Trick will revive its April 30 set from 1978 at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.

Arc'teryx Men's Atom Lt Vest
Arc'teryx Men's Atom Lt Vest
Instant essential! Weighs nothing, incredibly warm, v breathable. Great for daily use, golf, as well as mountain activities. Much better than down, since down layers generally have v poor breathability. Have just purchased the sleeved version as well, for cold weather skiing.
I am 6'2" 190 lbs. The vest is perfect as size L, but the Atom LT hoodie is XL, as the L was a bit tight across the shoulders and short in the sleeves.
Overall brilliant product. Great colours too!
20 June 2013
Highly versatile jacket - gives real warmth
Product makes for a perfect midlayer for skiing (as long as your arms don't typically get cold), but I have also used a lot for cycling, hiking etc as keeps you core body warm, but breathable, lightweight and you can compact down very small for travelling
19 February 2013
Warm & Versatile
Rather than buying a heavy or very warm jacket that wouldn't see much use each year, I plumped for this vest / gilet. Wearing it under a softshell or thin packable jacket transforms those items into something much warmer, but the vest is packable enough to roll up and stuff in a bag or (reasonably sized) pocket if the temperature rises or you begin to do something more active. It's also great on its own over a t-shirt or baselayer. Good cut, well finished, easy care - definitely worth investing in.
20 November 2012
An amazing level of warmth from a really thin jacket
I bought this product to go under my soft shell jacket. It is amazing. The material, fit and finish are superb. This thin vest is ideal for packing in a rucksack. I also wear this under fleeces or as an external jacket over t-shirts. I particularly like the internal zipped chest pocket.

The Arc'teryx Atom LT Vest is ideal for the active, outdoor-enthusiast; providing vital core warmth without adding unnecessary bulk. Made from a combination of super-lightweight, wind-resistant Coreloft™ and Polartec® Power Stretch® fabrics, this low-profile vest is great to throw on for a bit of extra insulation on cold, dry days and makes an effective technical midlayer in harsh conditions.
- Lightweight wind-resistant face fabric with DWR finish
Coreloft™ | This synthetic insulation is lightweight, breathable and thermally efficient. Made from 100% polyester it is very compressible and has excellent loft retention. |
Polartec® Power Stretch® | A breathable, body-hugging, 4-way stretch, one-side fleece designed to keep you drier when you sweat and provide warmth without added weight; the outside face is smooth to provide better freedom of movement under shells. |

Sam's Story (gender disphoria)
23/08/2012 , 12:53 PM by Helen Clare
Sam (not his real name) is an 11 year old boy from the Newcastle area who, inside, believes he is a girl and has felt that way since he was able to express himself as a toddler.
I discovered Sam's story when Susan from Coonabarabran's stint as "the Lifechanger DJ" a couple of Sundays ago (see blog entry below) prompted a call from his mum.

Vote Rico S. Giron for San Miguel County Sheriff in the general election on Tuesday November 2, 2010.
Community Policing Programs |
URGENT READ: The Law of Across the entire nation there are hundreds of community policing programs with varying degrees of success. The most important variable in all of these programs is Citizen engagement, involvement and participation. Without the commitment of the Citizens in these programs, all of them fail. As Sheriff of San Miguel County I will coordinate with the City Police and the State Police to train police administrators, politicians and community residents in the principles, management, and operation of community policing programs. The primary goal of both of these programs is to provide a safe environment for our children, our families and our neighborhoods. Citizens need to take back neighborhoods where drug trafficking is rampant. These programs will provide the lawful framework to the Citizens wherein the Citizens can empower themselves and understand that all of the Police agencies, that is to say, the Sheriff's Office, the City Police and the State Police will work with them and back them up, as concerned Citizens. This program will work closely with the Sheriff's Volunteer Posse [see platform # 10]. I believe that the current situation is not conducive to good relations between the Citizens and the Police agencies. That will change under my Sheriff's Office. These programs will help to change the image of police, so they would be viewed as people who can help those in trouble and as people who can be trusted. Keep in mind that Police officers primary role is to serve the community in the role of Conservators of the Peace. Every Police officer also takes a Sacred Oath to support and defend this Constitution for the united States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Thus every Police officer has a sworn duty to protect the Citizens, and enforce the protections afforded by the Bill of Rights for all Citizens. It is not the sworn duty of the Police officer to treat any Citizen differently because of economics, politics, religion, race, gender or otherwise. Every Citizen, rich or poor must be treated with Respect and Fairness, and equality under the law, specifically this Constitution for the united States of America. There are four areas that I will concentrate on, Community-Oriented Programs, Youth Oriented Programs, Programs Targeted at Other Special Groups, and Programs Targeted at Specific Problems or Employing Limited or Unique Means. In order to establish each of these programs, I will seek the help of nationally recognized programs already in place and that are shown to be working. Across the nation it has been shown that these programs increase community security, personal freedom and decrease crime and disorder. The most important component in these programs is Citizen Participation, Citizen Involvement, and Citizen Engagement. Without You, the Citizen, these programs will not work. This will require time, sacrifice, commitment, and personal risk. - Rico S. Giron, Future Sheriff of San Miguel County |

I have to admit that seeing the $90M price tag on the Tweed Courthouse was a bit off-putting, but I am sure that Boss Tweed is having a great laugh at the continued investment of public funds into his "money pit" of a courthouse. However, I am just incredibly appalled that Boss Bloomberg wishes now to convert this pristine gem of restoration into a) the Board of Education, with b) a school in its precincts. Working in schools in New York for over twenty years has taught me that no school goes unscathed from either the wears of time, nor from the (mis-)use by children. To think that this building which was saved from massive detrioration to be handed over in part for use by children...this is absurdity. And I do not for a moment buy the notion that children will respect the building because it is historical monument. The wear and tear on public buildings in general is substantial...ask any guard or manager of a monument or museum about that. As for the Board of Education moving there to be under the Mayor's watchful eye, I find that totally bogus. He has plenty of other spaces around the lower part of Manhattan to place them if he really wants to do that. And what puzzles me is that he is trying to dismantle the Board of Education and its patronage. If this is indeed the case, why move it only to dismantle it? To me the saddest part of all of this is the fact that the Mayor has reneged on a promise to the Museum of the City of New York, which really needs the Tweed Courthouse: what better place to put a museum dedicated to the living city and its history, than to put it in a place which represents the resurrection of downtown New York after 9/11? Placing the Museum there would not just give it a new lease on life, but would also affirm all the efforts being placed in trying to revitalize the downtown area after the destruction of the WTC. So ends my humble opinion...
TweedThere is an interesting article in the 5/6/02 issue of the New Yorker that reminds us how the Tweed Courthouse has often been frustratingly (and sometimes comically) at the center of contentious (and sometimes frivilous) city politics and egos.

Industrial employment in Indiana increased by roughly 1 percent, accounting for a gain of 5,184 jobs between March 2011 and March 2012, according to the 2012 Indiana Manufacturers Directory, a directory published each year by Manufacturers' News Inc. in Evanston, Ill.
This report shows that Indiana now houses 9,751 manufacturers employing 555,578 workers.
"Following several years of job losses, Indiana is finally seeing a renaissance in its manufacturing sector," says Tom Dubin, president of MNI. "The state's friendly business environment and solid infrastructure have been a draw for a variety of enterprises, particularly in the auto sector."
All of Indiana's three largest industrial sectors by employment boast job gains, the survey finds. The transportation equipment sector is Indiana's largest industrial employer with 83,869 jobs, a 2.3 percent increase over the year, while industrial machinery and equipment is the second largest sector with 69,757 jobs, up 1.9 percent. The fabricated metal industry ranks as the third largest sector employing 54,804 jobs, up 0.5 percent over the last year.
Among the other sectors that gained jobs in the last year are furniture and fixtures at 3.7 percent, primary metals at 1.6 percent, food products at 1.1 percent, rubber and plastics at 0.5 percent, and electronics at 0.5 percent. Losses are reported in lumber and wood at minus 6.1 percent; stone, clay and glass at minus 5.5 percent; textiles and apparel at minus 3.3 percent; printing and publishing at minus 2.8 percent; and paper products at minus 1 percent.
The most industrial employment in Indiana is found in the east central region with 146,318 jobs, a decline of 0.5 percent in the last year. Northeast Indiana employs 141,465 industrial workers, a 1 percent increase, while the northwest region provides 89,477 jobs, down 1.3 percent. Southwest Indiana has 70,831 jobs for a 5.8 percent increase, and the southeast region employs 56,593 industrial workers. The west central region provides 50,894 manufacturing jobs, a 3.1 percent uptick.
Indianapolis ranks the state's primary city for industrial employment with 74,655 manufacturing jobs. There is no significant change in employment in Indianapolis. Fort Wayne employs 25,186 jobs, which is also nearly unchanged. Elkhart provides 22,518 jobs, an increase of 1.7 percent, and Evansville accounts for 17,239 jobs, a 1.5 percent increase. Following those cities is Lafayette with 14,274 jobs, up 3.2 percent.

Add colorful fruits and vegetables to your diet
By Sheryl M. Ness, R.N.
1 comment posted
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, it's summer — time to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from our gardens or the local farmers markets. Summertime is a great time to get in the habit of adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Your body needs a healthy diet to function at its best. This is especially important if you have cancer.
As you are choosing your favorite produce, remember to choose color. Deeper colors usually mean that fruits and vegetables are richer in phytonutrients including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Phytonutrients have been shown to help fight chronic illness, prevent cancer and strengthen the immune system.
Think of dark purple eggplant and blackberries, which are full of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. Also consider dark green zucchini, spinach, kale and lettuces, which are also rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Bright red tomatoes are full of lycopene and antioxidants. Orange cantaloupe melon is rich in vitamins A and C, minerals and hydrating water.
As we transition into the fall and winter seasons — look for winter greens, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, winter squash and citrus fruits full of rich vitamins and fiber.
Pick up a few of your favorites this week. Look for bright color and freshness. Wash and rinse well with water or a water-vinegar mix to make sure the produce is clean and safe prior to eating.
A summer menu might include a simple salad with lettuces, tomatoes and a healthy addition of toasted walnuts or almonds. Follow this with grilled eggplant and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil. And for dessert, enjoy a slice or two of melon with a handful of berries.
What are your favorite colorful fruits and vegetables? Write back with your thoughts and inspire additional menu ideas.

MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - INSIDE PITCH
In the span of three days, the St. Louis Cardinals remade their infield.
On Nov. 22, the Cardinals dealt third baseman David Freese and reliever Fernando Salas to the Angels in exchange for center fielder Peter Bourjos and minor league outfielder Randal Grichuk.
On Nov. 24, free agent Jhonny Peralta landed a four-year contract with St. Louis. The Cardinals did not announce financial terms, but media outlets reported the deal was worth $52 million or $53 million.
Matt Carpenter likely will move from second base to third base, with rookie Kolten Wong set to take over at second.
Peralta takes over a position that was a trouble spot for the Cardinals in 2013. Rafael Furcal was expected to be the shortstop, but he missed the entire season following Tommy John surgery. Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso shared time and provided little offense.
"We are pleased to announce that Jhonny has agreed to terms and I know he is equally excited to be joining the Cardinals," general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement. "Jhonny is among the game's top offensive shortstops, he's a steady defender and he has experience playing for a contender. He gives us proven veteran experience and brings balance and versatility to our everyday lineup."
Peralta missed 50 games late last season serving a suspension for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. Fourteen players were penalized for their involvement with the now-shuttered South Florida anti-aging clinic that Major League Baseball maintains was a source of banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Peralta returned to action the final days of the regular season, and he alternated playing left field and shortstop for the Tigers during their run to the World Series.
In 10 postseason games, Peralta hit .333 with one homer and six RBIs. In the regular season, he batted .303 with a .358 on-base percentage, a .457 slugging percentage, 11 homers and 55 RBIs in 107 games.
Over his 11-year career (the first 7 1/2 years with the Cleveland Indians), Peralta has a career batting line of .268/.330/.425 with 156 homers and 698 RBIs. He was an All-Star for Detroit in 2011 and 2013.
Not everyone was thrilled about Peralta's payday in light of the shortstop's recent suspension.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brad Ziegler, on his Twitter account, put a link to a story about Peralta's contract and wrote, "It pays to cheat ... Thanks, owners, for encouraging PED use ... People really don't understand how this works. We thought 50 games would be a deterrent. Obviously it's not. So we are working on it again."
Free agent pitcher David Aardsma wrote on Twitter, "Apparently getting suspended for PED's means you get a raise. What's stopping anyone from doing it? #weneedtomakeachange ... I had 2 major surgeries in 5 months and made it back clean, nothing pisses me off more than guys that cheat and get raises for doing so."
MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - NOTES, QUOTES
2013: 97-65, first place in NL Central, lost to Red Sox in World Series
TEAM MVP: C Yadier Molina and 2B Matt Carpenter tie for the honor. The statistics point to Carpenter, who was asked to play a new position, second base, in his first year as a regular and he also was asked to bat leadoff, a spot he was unaccustomed to. The results were that he led the league in hits, runs, doubles and had an on-base percentage of .392. Molina gets an equal nod, though, because of his handling of a pitching staff which had as many as many as 11 rookies at various points. And he also hit .319. These two should finish among the top three or four in the league Most Valuable Player balloting.

There are plenty of people that just can't manage to set up a home network. Leave them with their reasons—and one of Kensington's ShareCentral products.
Each product in this line will allow users to share peripherals aplenty, just by plugging them into a compact USB hub. Depending on the model, the unit can share up to five devices between two computers. Not too shabby.
"Everyone is mobile. Then they bring the day's data, photos and music back to one shared, usually cramped, home computing center which the entire family needs to access in those few hours between dinnertime and bedtime," says Frederic Frappereau, global product marketing manager at Kensington. "Up until now, they spent that precious time switching out cords and cables to connect their computers to their peripherals. Now with ShareCentral, they can focus on sharing the content, to produce creative results of which they all can be proud."
The ShareCentral line includes the ShareCentral 5 ($80), the ShareCentral 2 ($60), and the ShareCentral 1 ($40). Each one is available now.

I have downloaded the latest MediaMonkey build (126.96.36.1992). I have the latest beta of d_iphone.dll installed and placed in my plugins directory. I have the latest version of iTunes installed.
MediaMonkey doesn't even notice I have an iPod Touch plugged in. I already have one device set up that works (a "d_usbmass1.dll" device which is actually just a network drive that I have attached from my other computer).
I should note that Windows itself exhibits no special behavior when I plug in the iPod Touch. iTunes will start up when I plug it in, but that's it: no new drive letters, nothing. The thing is, when I first plugged the iPod Touch into this computer, it thought it was some kind of camera or something, instead of an iPod Touch. This didn't happen to my other computer (which doesn't have MM and my music archive on it).
Any ideas?

Top 10 free days out
Great days out for free
1. The National Gallery, London
Feel like seeing a masterpiece? The National Gallery has about 2,300 of them, from big names like Van Dyke, Monet, Cezanne, Holbein, Van Gogh and many more. If you're struggling to decide which to see first, how about taking one of the daily guided tours (they're free too), where you'll also learn the history and stories behind the paintings…
2. Borough Market, London
Why not try something new today? Like ostrich burgers, hemp seed falafel or venison fillets – all of which you'll find at Borough Market – along with delicious cheeses and rather tasty coffee. It's free to browse (and often sample, too) so who knows what you could end up taking home for a dinner?
3. Planting Trees, (various locations)
Forget the gym. There's nothing like a good day's work in the great outdoors to put some colour in your cheeks. Spend a day with the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers and you could be planting trees and hedges, repairing dry-stone walls or creating footpaths. The sense of satisfaction is worth the sweat and aching shoulders.
4. Chinese New Year, Manchester
The Chinese certainly don't hold back on their New Year Celebrations (which actually take place in February). The extravaganza features Kung-Fu demonstrations, acrobats, Shaolin monks, firecrackers and fortune telling, but the highlight is the colourful 175ft dragon parade, which weaves its way through the excited crowds every year. Don't worry, it's not the fire-breathing kind…
5. Science Museum, London
Ever wondered what your voice would sound like as a member of the opposite sex? Or how your face will change as you get older? Spend a few hours in the Science Museum and all will be revealed. Sure, it's science – but there's not a white coat in sight.
6. The Winter Garden, Sheffield
Located right in the heart of Sheffield, this is one of the world's biggest greenhouses , where you'll find around 2,500 plants growing in a specially-controlled microclimate. Amazingly, they're all watered by hand (seriously); a group of green-fingered gardeners goes round with a hose or watering can to ensure the plants receive exactly the right amount of water. It's thirsty work.
7. Maiden Castle, Dorset
This enormous Iron Age hill fort covers a site the size of 50 football pitches. There are ditches and ramparts galore (an attempt to keep the Romans out), if you take the steep(ish) climb to the top, you'll be rewarded with views out over the rolling Dorset countryside. Don't forget the camera.
8. Sherwood Forest Country Park, Nottingham
Immerse yourself in the Robin Hood myth with a wander through his famous stomping ground . Don't miss the Major Oak, the tree where RH is rumoured to have hidden while fleeing from the Sheriff of Nottingham – or the nearby visitor centre, which separates the fact from the fiction.
9. Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds
If you've ever wondered where all the knights in shining armour are these days, they're here. In fact, The Royal Armouries Museum houses 70,000 pieces of armoury altogether – and you can see a lot of it in action in the tiltyard, as two knights battle it out in a Henry VIII-style joust.
10. Bath Walking Tour, Somerset
Want to know what the Romans smelled like? Or how tight a Regency corset was? Follow in Jane Austen's footsteps with a free tour of her favourite city , where your guide will give you a potted history that's not straight out of a textbook.

Much like a previous exposé with Radeon HD 7950, the specifications of Radeon HD 7770 that were rumored in our previous article have been confirmed by users. It confirms several specifications, starting from the stream processor count of 640, to the 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. The GPU has an out of the box core clock speed of 1.00 GHz, it could be possible that this is a factory-overclocked card, if not, the core clock speed rumor sparked off by the Verdetrol marketing campaign are true, after all. Source: DonanimHaber
Interesting, it does not sound all that promising in performance considering no improvement in memory performance, less shaders than a 5770, and most likely a larger price
I show 80gb bandwidth on my 5770, and I am sure that is from the oc.... like the shot you just posted, yet I do wonder on the downgrade. I DOUBT the higher clock and improved architecture will permit much increase over the old cards considering the shader loss. Especially considering it will probably come with a higher price tag. The power consumption would be nice, but with that concern a 7750 is a much better idea. This cards sounds like a fail .
Perhaps this card is a tacit recognition that this is all the performance most gamers need, so they're delivering said performance at the lowest possible power consumption and price. Also, fill rates in GPU-Z put it ahead of the 5770.
Since this HD 7770 is using VLIW4-technology compared to the HD 5770/6770's older VLIW5, I'm thinking it will probably perform the same with that amount of shaders. Hopefully the price is similar or lower.
Damn, I had completely forgotten about that difference in architecture. Yeah, it should perform about the same then.
not really, if anything this will perform equal to 6770 and 5770 but with better power consumption and a smaller die size(cheaper) this will have 640 GCN cores while 6770 and 5770 used the old vliw5 which had 10cu's aswell(except vliw5 has 80 stream processors per cu totaling 800 while vliw4 and gcn has 64 yet perform better than the vliw5's 80) add to that the 28nm node which will allow higher frequencies then you are talking well over 20% performance boast at stock, and well under 100watt tdp (5770 if im not mistaken was in the 150watt range)
Yup, remember that the HD 5850 has 1440 shaders, but a HD 6870 that has 1120 shaders performs just about the same due to newer VLIW4 architecture.
the 6870 used vliw5 aswell, but had rearranged units in it, like updated tesselation units and rops and what not, it was pretty much a conservative way to get as much performance as possible and due to the smaller die and less heat output they were able to clock it higher therefore matching 5850 or better vliw4 was only used in the 6900 series and was about 20% faster than vliw5 since the cu's were reduced to 64cores compared to the 80 in vliw5 yet performed the same
cheaper die size yet price will be a higher power counsumption isnt a big plus for most people for home pc's they look at price /preformance its not a "win win" its win some lose some.
It needs to be beating it by a good margin if it is to remain at the same price of a 6770' as they pulled the same bullshit with 6770>5770 and kept the same performance at the same cost over 2 generations, so all they have done is given us 5770 performance, no more now less over 3 gens whilst keeping the cost the same over the generations.
Your card is overclocked. That is not a real world scenario, and not a good comparison because the 7770 is at stock. Allow me: The 7770 has higher fill rates, from the start, and will OC beyond that. Consumes less energy while doing so. But, on the other hand, has less vRAM bandwidth, which might impact performance at higher resolutions and/or lower performance with games that load high-res textures, comapred to the 5770/6770. At stock, the 7770 might be better than the 5770/6770 but not enough to justify the replacement (considering it's release price), unless one is really in the need of reducing his electrical bills. That being said, I will not replace my 5770 for one of these.
Something doesn't computer. VLIW4 uses fewer transistors than VLIW5 per shader. Therefore, with VLIW4 and fewer shaders, transistor count should have gone down by 30% not up by 50%. So there is something else going on here > either the data is incorrect, or the architecture supporting those shaders is radically different, or, even though the die tranny count is up 50%, active transistors are lower, due to locked/disabled shaders/pipeline. How confusing. Eagerly awaiting w1z benchmarks esp. performance/watt.
The capabilities of graphics core next in the future are a lot more interesting to me than ever faster acceleration of old games and console ports. That has to be considered in the total value of the product when reviews hit and the outright graphics performance will not likely be that impressive compared to 68xx cards.
Now AMD uses x7xx for low/mid range cards? what the hell. Even it would be faster than 5770, and takes less power, what price it will be? I got a 5770 2 years ago used for $100 and now a frigging 6770 still costs $120+, this card will probably cost higher than that. I missed the 4850 days. The naming scheme is really getting out of control. 7770 still wouldn't beat a 5850, shame on you AMD, should of called it 7570
Exactly, we will need to wait and see. Something tells me the 7750 might be like a 6790-6850 and no 6-pin, while a 7770 is close to the 6870 though only 85-90W. Pricing is a different issue as we can't disregard the TSMC pricing increase for 28Nm that might be a factor of 15-20%; even Nvidia will be passing along whenever they arrive. Right now it sound like sticker shock that AMD is only advertising, but Nvidia is not immune and their day will come... At which point it will be easier to swallow their increase as AMD has paved the way. MSRP on the 6870 was $230 the going rate today is $160 –AR; add 15-20% to $160 and you're at $185-195, or the under $200 MSRP AMD is surely targeting. There's nothing wrong with close to the 6870 performance (it is a lower numerical product) that today beats the original 6870 release MSRP by 20%.
