Android Extends Lead in Smartphone OS Market
Android's market share climbs to 64.1%– up 20.7 percentage points from 2011.
In the smartphone operating system market, Android extended its market share lead by 20.7 percentage points in the second quarter of 2012. According to Gartner Inc., Android's share increased from 43.4 to 64.1 points, specifically.
In second place with 18 percent, Apple's iOS market share grew slightly year over year (0.6 percent) and declined 3.7 points quarter on quarter. Gartner attributes this short-term decline to users' postponing their upgrade decisions in most markets ahead of the upcoming launch of the iPhone 5.
Overall, worldwide sales of mobile phones to end users reached 419 million units in the second quarter of 2012, a 2.3 percent decline from Q2 2011, according to Gartner. Smartphone sales accounted for a 36 percent of total mobile phone sales and grew 42 percent in the second quarter of 2012.
In the second quarter of 2012, Samsung's mobile phone sales remained very strong – up 29 percent from the second quarter of 2011, and Samsung extended its lead over both Apple and Nokia quarter on quarter. Consumer demand for the Apple iPhone weakened as sales fell 12 percent from the first quarter of 2012 but grew 47 percent year on year.

Voters must ignore that ringing cellular phone while casting ballots inside Ohio County polling locations.
And they also shouldn't be texting or calling family members for advice as they stand at the voting machines, election officers note.
Signs have been placed outside the early voting location at the City-County Building in Wheeling, informing voters that cell phone use is prohibited at the polls.
Pollworkers there said it isn't unusual for a voter to answer a ringing cell phone while at their voting machine, and their actions don't stop there.
"We even had a young girl call her father while she was voting - to ask him how she should vote," said Toni Chieffalo, coordinator of elections in Ohio County.
She said the signs were more of a pro-active response as cell phone usage has become prevalent in society.
West Virginia election laws prohibit the use of any electronic devices inside the polls.
Across the river in Belmont County, elections Director William Shubat said the issue of cell phone use among voters at the polls hasn't yet become an issue.
He noted, though, high school students are recruited to work at the polls there, and they are instructed not to text or use their cell phones during their Election Day duties. And Shubat questions whether voters should be prohibited from using their cell phones.
"They are allowed to bring someone to assist them at the polls," he said. "I would assume the same though would allow cell phones in the same context."
Shubat said Thursday he would contact the Ohio Secretary of State's Office for their opinion on the matter. Messages left with that office by Thursday.
Diane Gribble, director of elections in Jefferson County, said cell phone use by voters at the polls "was not an issue yet," but she expected it soon could be.
"We haven't experienced any problems yet," said Sylvia Benzo, Brooke County clerk. "But since you asked, I'm sure it is coming."

Norton, John D. (2008) Is There an Independent Principle of Causality in Physics? A Comment on Matthias Frisch, "Causal Reasoning in Physics.". In: [2008] Causation Workshop (Pittsburgh, PA; January 26, 2008).
Download (203Kb) | Preview
Matthias Frisch has argued that the requirement that electromagnetic dispersion processes are causal adds empirical content not found in electrodynamic theory. I urge that this attempt to reconstitute a local principle of causality in physics fails. An independent principle is not needed to recover the results of dispersion theory. The use of "causality conditions" prove to be either an exercise in relabeling an already presumed fact; or, if one seeks a broader, independently formulated grounding for the conditions, that grounding either fails or dissolves into vagueness and ambiguity, as has traditionally been the fate of candidate principles of causality.

The Mantles
The 7 Best San Francisco Albums of 2010
Not to diss 2009 or jinx 2011, but this was an unusually exciting and solid year for our bustling little music scene. As the notoriously NYC-biased Pitchfork recently put it, our fair city is "slowly threatening to eclipse Brooklyn in the ranks of regional talent." Hey-yo! Listed below are seven full length releases (sorry, Girls) from the year that particularly stood out to us, along with five additional LPs too good not to mention.
Aquarius Records Celebrates Its 40th Birthday @ Cafe Du Nord
Any San Franciscan in the know would tell you Aquarius Records on Valencia Street has the best collection of music in the city. Need Japanese psychedelia? They've got it. African field recordings? Yep! Local indie? Of course!
Weekend Must-See Show: The Mantles @ Hemlock Tavern
Imagine a balmy San Francisco day spent hitting the waves on the outskirts of town at Ocean Beach, amidst the fog. The Mantles play music that's the soundtrack to our city, a metropolis on the edge of the Pacific: raucous, sunny surf pop tinged with a quest for meaning like a malaise lurking underneath all the fun.

- 1 1/2 cups diced onion
- 1 1/2 cups diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- McCormick's Grill Mates Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning (or your favorite seasoning)

1/3 cup flour
4 cups half and half
6 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
bacon bits or shredded cheese for garnish, if desired."
- Boil brats in beer (I use a lager, such as Leinenkugel's Classic Amber, or Creamy Dark). Then grill brats until nearly done. Cut into 1/2 inch slices.
- Melt butter in large sauce pan or soup pot. Cook bacon until nearly crisp. Add carrots, onion, celery, and garlic and saute with the bacon over medium heat. Crumble bacon as it cooks. Add brats and saute with veggies/bacon so flavors mix (a couple minutes).
- Add the Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer about 10 minutes ensuring all vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, heat butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook, stirring until the flour is light brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in half & half, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually stir in cheese. Keep warm.
- Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes.
- Serve hot. Sprinkle with shredded cheese or bacon bits for garnish if desired.

Phony Chiropractor Sentenced for Health Care Fraud
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 19, 2012
PHILADELPHIA—Tahib Smith Ali, 35, of Philadelphia, was sentenced yesterday to 72 months in prison for posing as a chiropractor between January 2009 and December 2009 and for fraudulently billing Independence Blue Cross under the name of and medical provider number of a licensed chiropractor. Ali pleaded guilty in June to 50 counts of health care fraud, 50 counts of false statements in health care matters, and one count of aggravated identity theft. Ali was operating a Philadelphia clinic known as "Oasis Holistic Healing Village" on S. 17th Street in Philadelphia when he perpetrated his fraud scheme. He saw patients and represented to them that he was a chiropractor. Ali holds no medical licenses. He submitted approximately $1.5 million in fraudulent claims for chiropractic services to Independence Blue Cross (IBC) under the name and medical provider number of a licensed chiropractor who no longer worked at the clinic. Ali also billed IBC for chiropractic services that were never actually provided and for patient visits that never occurred.
In addition to the prison term, two years of which is a mandatory term for the aggravated identity theft, U.S. District Court Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg ordered Ali to pay restitution in the amount of $287,972.13, a special assessment of $10,100 and three years of supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney M. Beth Leahy.

PINK HILL � A man already serving 36 months� probation for felony possession and distribution of a methamphetamine precursor was arrested Monday in connection with the Jonestown Road meth lab investigation.
Following up on a tip, narcotics detectives with the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office made contact with Edward Killette Blalock III, 30, at 1059 Jonestown Rd. According to an LCSO release, after he consented to a search of the residence, detectives turned up drug paraphernalia and materials and tools used in cooking meth.
After the execution of a search warrant by detectives and the State Bureau of Investigation, one meth lab was confirmed in the trunk of a vehicle on the property, and another found under the home.
�I believe that we as law enforcement cannot prevent or solve crimes alone,� Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill said in a statement. �This citizen did the perfect thing by reporting something suspicious. That citizen, along with the many others that have aided my office, can take pride in knowing they are helping to rid Lenoir County of these criminals and drug dealers.�
Blalock is charged with felony manufacturing meth, felony possession and distribution of a meth precursor, felony possession of meth and felony maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances.
He was placed into the W.E. �Billy� Smith Detention Center under a $500,000 bond and made his first appearance in Lenoir County District Court on Tuesday.

The FBI's New York Office Briefs Citizens' Academy Members on Counterterrorism and Criminal Matters
|FBI New York October 14, 2010
On September 29, 2010, Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC) Janice K. Fedarcyk and Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Gregory Fowler addressed the FBI New York's Citizens' Academy and provided a general overview on counterterrorism matters and related subjects of interest. The meeting's agenda incorporated discussions of FBI operations in regard to cases and topics recently featured in the media. Examples included New Year's Eve in Times Square, the Zazi terror plot, and terrorist attacks in Uganda and Fort Hood.
"Eleven out of 20 terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11 were attempted in New York. The public can play an important role in preventing future terrorist attacks by reporting suspicious behavior to law enforcement," SAC Fowler stated.
The academy's overall purpose is to establish and foster relationships and understanding between the FBI and the greater New York community. The academy has given the public, civic, religious, and business leaders, as well as media executives, the opportunity to find out how the FBI operates and what role the public can play. Nationally, the FBI has offered the Citizens' Academy program for the past 15 years, providing a detailed inside view to 10,000 community leaders on how the Bureau operates.
On Saturday, October 3, Citizens' Academy members and alumni were given the opportunity to step outside the classroom setting and attend a firearms training session at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Attendees were accompanied by FBI personnel who demonstrated proper handling procedures before they were able to experience shooting a variety of firearms. Each year, FBI Citizens' Academy members participate in this activity, which broadens the scope of their experience in the program.
The following Wednesday, October 6, SAC Diego Rodriguez and Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Peter Grupe welcomed the academy back to the FBI's New York office and introduced a team of experts who provided an advanced overview of the Criminal Division. Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) Rachel Rojas spoke about identity theft and described various precautions law abiding citizens can take to protect themselves. SSA David Chaves briefed the class on the various types of securities fraud cases, from insider trading and accounting fraud to ponzi schemes. SSA Michael Rosanova talked about the enormously increasing numbers of health care fraud cases in recent years and the many challenges faced by FBI agents handling those cases.
During this meeting, the Citizens' Academy Class of 2010 also elected their leadership team.
The fourth Wednesday night meeting of this year's Citizens' Academy took place on October 13. Special guest speaker Jack Garcia talked about his role as an undercover FBI agent posing as an Italian mobster named Jack Falcone. Garcia, now retired, engaged the audience with stories from a career of undercover work with the FBI and details about what it was like to bring down members of the Gambino crime family. Garcia's story has been made into a book, "Making Jack Falcone: An Undercover FBI Agent Takes Down a Mafia Family," and is slated to become a major motion picture.
The graduates of our Citizens' Academies enable the FBI to stay better attuned to local community needs and concerns.

PITESTI, ROMANIA, June 16. EUROPEAN champ and Olympic silver medalist Beatrice Coada-Caslaru lowered her pr and national record in the 100 breast during the World Championship Trials here late last week.
The Romanian star, who won a silver at Sydney in the 200 IM and a bronze in the 400, went 1:10.14 in the breaststroke to lower her mark of 1:10.54, done in early May at the French Championships in Chamalieres.
Coada-Caslaru also went a fast 2:26.84 to win the 200 breast, just off her seasonal-best 2:26.34, also done in France, that ranks her fouurth globally. That 2:26.34 is also her pr-NR and places her among the medal contention for next month's World Championships in Fukuoka.
She also won the 200 IM in 2:13.62, second globally to China's Hui Qi's 2:13.08. Coada-Caslaru's pr-NR is 2:12.57 that won her the Sydney runner-up spot and was the identical time that won her last summer's European Championships gold in Helsinki.
The meet was swum June 6-10.
Teammate Diana Mocanu, dual Olympic medalist in both backstrokes, showed she's rounding into shape via wins in the 50 (28.97, fourth globally); 100 (1:01.70) and 200 2:11.62 (third-fastest for 2001). Mocanu's 100 was just off her seasonal-best of 1:01.57 from last April's Turnier des Nations meet in Vienna that ranks her sixth.
Mocanu won the Sydney 200 back in 2:08.16, ranking her third on the all-time performers' list and sixth-fastest performance. However, the two women ahead of her — Hungary's now-retired Kirstina Egerszegi and China's He — have both hung up their skinsuits. Thus Mocanu would appear to be in position to take a crack at Egerszegi's world record of 2:06.62, set at the
1991 European Championships in Vienna.
The brilliant Hungarian dorsal specialist was double Olympic champ at both Barcelona and Atlanta and Mocanu appears to be on track to perhaps emulate her feats.
Mocanu could perhaps even give Volker and Zhivanevskaya a run in the 50 back too, although her pr(28.85) is a bit far off Volker's wr (28.25) and
Zhivanevskaya's pr-NR of 28.67.
Mocanu, Spain's Nina Zhivanevskaya, the United States' Natalie Coughlin and Volker will also be among the favorites for the 100 title in Japan. Coughlin, with her pr 1:01.32 from the Trials in Austin last March, ranks No. 2 globally. In addition to a medal in Japan — preferably of the golden variety — she'll be after former Stanford star Lee Loveless-Maurer's
American record 1:00.77 from the 1998 World Championships in Perth. Loveless' time was done in the prelims and she came back to win at night in 1:01.16.
Mocanu's winning 100 back at Sydney was 1:00.21, a mere .05 off China's He Cihong's world-record 1:00.16 she swam leading off the medley relay at the 1994 World Championships in Rome – a time most experts believe to have been chemically-enhanced. Mocanu ranks No. 2 on the all-time performers-performances list and has said her goal is to become the first
woman under a minute.
On the men's side, backstroker Razvan Florea just missed his pr-NR in the 100 (56.35) with a 56.38 and won the 200 in 2:01.42. His pr-NR here is 1:59.05 from the finals at Sydney.

Brian Hartline, now in his fifth season with the Dolphins, has seen his share of ups and downs since arriving in the league. With his team standing at 3-2 heading into their bye weekend, the veteran receiver is well aware of what Miami needs to do in order to contend for a division crown in 2013.
"Play more consistent," Hartline said to the NFL Network on Wednesday. "We came out of the gates shooting. We were very consistent, we weren't turning the ball over, we were playing well on defense, getting to the quarterback, protecting the quarterback. Lately, that's one of our focuses—protecting the quarterback, running the football. I can't speak from a defensive perspective, but I know we pride ourselves on protecting Ryan and running the football. A lot of that is just the mentality and that's something we have to get back to."
It's no secret the Dolphins have struggled in the area of pass protection, with Ryan Tannehill already suffering 24 sacks on the year. However, like everyone else in Miami's camp, Hartline insists the solution involves the entirety of the offense and not just one particular unit.
"To me, protecting the football involves protecting our quarterback," Hartline said. "And we do that by many different things, whether it's receivers getting open so we get the ball out quicker, [running] backs picking up protections and blitzes or the line making the proper calls. The whole offense is in charge of that."
Hartline also admitted it's imperative Miami cleans up that area if they want to have any shot at finishing atop their division at the end of the year. After a week off, the Dolphins will have their first shot to right the ship against the Buffalo Bills.
"Starting with the Bills, [we] had a great off week to break down film to know who we're playing," Hartline said. "They've got a new coaching staff, got a new quarterback, but they're winning football games. So, we have a lot of respect for Buffalo. A lot of teams have played other teams in division—we have not yet, so it's a huge opportunity to get back on the right track."
Getting back on track will likely start with Tannehill and the offense for Miami. And in year two of the Tannehill era, Hartline is impressed with what he sees in comparison to the other young talents around the league like Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and Andrew Luck.
"Ryan is improving tremendously and we are still continuing to build around him because the team wasn't quite as ready as those other teams might have been," Hartline said. "So we are growing."
Hartline also hinted Miami may be looking to incorporate Tannehill's legs a bit more as they search for solutions to the current issues hindering their production.
"He can run, man," Hartline said. "That's one thing that we're getting to develop more and more into our offense."

Columbus, Ga. - No. 3 California's unbeaten streak of 15 to start the season was snapped today against No. 12 LSU in the final game of pool play at the NFCA Classic. The Tigers beat the Bears 6-1, dropping Cal from contention in the Gold Championship.
LSU did what few, if any, teams have done this year - get to Kelly Anderson. The Tigers put two runs up in the first inning behind three singles. Anderson gave up a solo home run in the third and was pulled midway through the fourth after putting two more runners on.
Kristina Thorson worked through the jam, with two runs across and charged to Anderson. Thorson also gave up a solo home run in the fifth inning.
All Cal could muster was a run in the sixth, when Kaleo Eldredge doubled home Lindsay James. LSU's Kristen Schmidt pitched a complete game to improve her record to 8-2, while Anderson fell to 9-1.
This was the second time Anderson and Schmidt had hooked up. Cal beat LSU, 5-1, at the UNLV Tournament earlier this month.
With the loss, Cal moves into the Silver Championship bracket. It takes on Nebraska this evening with hopes of making it to the Silver Championship Game on Sunday.

Heath Slocum becomes surprise winner at Barclays
JERSEY CITY, N.J. The little guy from the sticks beat Tiger Woods and a cast of big stars in perhaps the most urban setting in PGA Tour history.
Heath Slocum, the 5-foot-7, 150-pound grinder who went to high school with country-as-they-come Boo Weekley in the Florida Panhandle town of Milton, won The Barclays on Sunday at lengthy Liberty National – a couple of par 5s from the Statue of Liberty.
With the Manhattan skyline looming in the background on a clear, breezy day, Slocum made a 20-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a one-stroke victory over Woods, Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and playing partner Steve Stricker.
"It was an incredible day, incredible experience," Slocum said. "I was just kind of lucky to come out on top. A lot of good players. At the end of the day, that putt on the last was magical. I'll remember that for the rest of my life."
A week ago, the short-hitting Slocum wasn't even sure he would make it to the FedEx Cup opener. Having missed the cut in Greensboro, N.C., he had to wait until the tournament was over to learn that by the slimmest of margins – two points – he had earned the second-to-last spot among the 125 qualifiers.
"My fate was not in my own hands," Slocum said.
It was on the 18th green at long, hard Liberty National.
On the same green where Woods stunned the crowd by missing from 7 feet, Slocum knocked in the 20-footer, then watched Stricker miss his 10-foot par try.
Slocum closed with a 4-under 67 to win for the third time in his career, and first time in four years. The victory, worth $1.35 million, moved him to No. 3 in the FedEx Cup standings, giving him a shot at the $10 million prize next month in Atlanta.
"I'm going to use this experience hopefully for the rest of my life, knowing that I can come down the stretch and play, if you want, with the big boys," Slocum said.
Slocum holed a 25-foot birdie putt at No. 2, the toughest par 3 at Liberty National, then surged into a share of the lead by holing out from 157 yards with a 7-iron for eagle on the par-4 fifth.
"As soon as I hit it, I knew I just flushed it," he said. "It was going right to the pin. I saw it hit. I didn't see anything else. I didn't see it go in. The crowd went crazy. I didn't know if it was really close or if it had gone in."
Stricker had a good look at the unlikely eagle that Slocum didn't see go in – and broadcaster CBS missed completely while focusing on Woods a hole ahead.
"He hit it just past the hole," Stricker said. "It jumped right back in. Just like a little gopher going for his hole, it just jumped right in."
Woods, playing his first tournament since losing a two-shot lead to unheralded Y.E. Yang in the PGA Championship, struggled again with his putter, never really trusting himself on the small, undulating greens.
Woods rimmed out an early 3-foot par putt and twice missed from inside 10 feet on par 5s. After a 6-iron from 189 yards to 7 feet on 18 gave him a chance to tie for the lead, Woods' birdie putt slid by on the left.
"It happens," said Woods, who shot a 67. "Not too many golf courses that you misread putts that badly. This golf course is one."
Els closed with a bogey-free 66, Harrington had a 67, and Stricker shot a 69.

The largest international Alzheimer's disease genetics collaboration to date has found 11 new genetic areas of interest that contribute to late onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD), doubling the number of potential genetics-based therapeutic targets to interrogate. The study, published in Nature Genetics, provides a broader view of genetic factors contributing to the disease and expands the scope of disease understanding to include new areas including the immune system, where a genetic overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease was identified.
"Human genetic studies are being used with increased frequency to validate new drug targets in many diseases. Here we greatly increased the list of possible drug target candidates for Alzheimer's disease, finding as many new significant genes in this one study as have been found in the last 15 years combined," said co-senior author Gerard Schellenberg, PhD, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) and professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "This international effort has given us new clues into the steps leading to and accelerating Alzheimer's disease. We can add these new genetic clues to what we already know and try to piece together the mechanism of this complex disease."
Pooling resources through the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project (IGAP), the collaborative team collected 74,076 patients and controls from 15 countries. After a two stage meta-analysis, the group found some genes which confirmed known biological pathway of Alzheimer's disease, including the role of the amyloid pathway (SORL1 , CASS4) and tau (CASS4, FERMT2). Newly discovered genes involved in the immune response and inflammation (HLA-DRB5/DRB1, INPP5D, MEF2C) reinforced a pathway implied by previous work (on CR1, TREM2). Additional genes related to cell migration (PTK2B), lipid transport and endocytosis (SORL1) were also confirmed. And new hypotheses emerged related to hippocampal synaptic function (MEF2C , PTK2B), the cytoskeleton and axonal transport (CELF1, NME8, CASS4) as well as myeloid and microglial cell functions (INPP5D).
One of the more significant new associations was found in the HLA-DRB5 - DRB1 region, one of the most complex parts of the genome, which plays a role in the immune system and inflammatory response. It has also been associated with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, suggesting that the diseases where abnormal proteins accumulate in the brain may have a common mechanism involved, and possibly have a common drug target, Dr. Schellenberg noted.

Community Analytics (CA)
Mission Statement
Community Analytics (CA) addresses the problem of meaningful metrics for socio-economic performance and progress in a smart society. CA is based on the simple premise that "what gets measured, gets done"! CA has been developed using concepts that are derived from corporate accounting and management information, but go beyond money costs, revenues and profits to include also value consumption, value creation and value change. CA is also different from normal financial analysis and reporting because of its community perspective rather than the perspective of the organization.
CA metrics are to the community and economic actors in the society as scorekeeping is to a game of baseball, soccer, etc.
There has been substantial development effort over several years to define the CA framework and how the data acquisition and analysis would work.
There is a development of an infrastructure so that the CA framework will function as easily as possible.
There is the development of networks to make use of the CA data. These networks reflect many different stakeholders in the performance and progress of society including community leaders and advocates, and a range of organizations, public and private, NGOs and for profit.

BILL DRAPER, Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, MO (AP) - A defense attorney in a southwest Missouri sex slave case says federal prosecutors should not be allowed to use intimate relations between her client and his wife as proof that the man sexually abuses women.
Edward and Marilyn Bagley are scheduled for trial in February on a number of federal charges, including sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking. Prosecutors say Ed Bagley groomed a woman to become his sex slave when she was a teenager, then tortured her for years.
The Bagleys claim the woman asked to become part of their kinky BDSM lifestyle.
Prosecutors said they plan to introduce evidence of "sadistic sexual assaults" committed by Bagley against his wife. BDSM advocates say it's dangerous for the government to treat consensual sex as a crime.

Thanks for the feedback.
The problem is solved. The DNS details supplied by Microsoft is not the same format as all DNS formats. So supplying that information to the users may not always work. I got a microsoft engineer to look at it and even they are not familar, its a redhat linux system. SO the settings have to be set in a certain way.
I passed the parameters to my hosting and they have managed to get it into the system and it is working now.
In the find a contact type the email address of a lync user to find them
For people to publically find you, this must be updated via the admin section, lync setting. Go to external communications and activate.
Hi Ronald,
What type of 365 account do you have as I have found this article which may shed some light.
e1 account, which i can activate public im
OK, the missing Lync!
In lync type the email address of the person you wish to contact. In the list right click on the person and select pin to frequent contacts or select and create a new list just below. This will add them to your lync, the person on messenger should add you (works for me via the messenger download) using your lync email address. Once done this should work.
Hi row1,
I understand that you are using Office 365 E1 plan. Before moving on, I suggest you check the DNS records and firewall settings. Please refer to the following KB articles:
Automatic sign-in, domain federation, and other features do not work as expected in Lync Online when you use a custom domain in Office 365
You cannot connect to Lync Online, or certain features do not work, because an on-premises firewall blocks the connection
If the issue persists, I would like to confirm the following information for further research:
1. Check if you can add a contact who is using a Windows Live account as email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
2. After you add the Windows Live contact, check whether the Windows Live Messenger user receives a invitation or not.
@Richard, thank you for your information.

Hi row1,
How is everything going? We'd appreciate an update on the status of the issue.
its not working, i am waiting 24 hours tomtry again.
I understand that you will try to add Windows Live contacts again. If the issue persists, could you please provide the information which is required in my previous post?
Can you add Windows Live contacts now?
no it is not working. I want to confirm, in the lync, I just type the msn email in search bar, then the email comes up and status unknown, I dont see any place to add, only pin to favourite, so I usually send a message, and it says some error with the server. There dont seem to a button to request to add, so that the receipient can approve like msn does.
To add a Windows Live contact, please perform the following steps:
1. Open Lync, and, in the search box, type the Windows Live ID for the person that you want to add to your Contacts list.
2. In the contact card that appears, click the plus sign (+).
3. Select a contact group in which to place the contact. Also, you can create a new group at this time by typing the name beside the Add to New Group field.
By doing the steps above, the Windows Live Messenger user will receive an invitation.
How are the things going? Do you need any further assistance on this issue?
if my problem is solved, i will update back here and share the issue. I know you guys may have KPIs to meet, but i am replying a lot of no, no, not yet, wait, rather than the actual issue.
I'm glad to hear that the issue has been resolved. Thank you for sharing the information with us.
Best regards,

While the CIty Council ran circles around Jose Huizar's "Voter Bill of Rights" on Friday, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich was proposing how to reform the Neighborhood Council election process to give the system more legitimacy.
With the deadline for action looming Tuesday, Huizar's colleagues stalled votes on his proposals for Charter reforms to provide more money in city matching funds to candidates and instant runoff voting and watered-down the effort to extend mail-in ballots automatically to all registered voters to a possible ordinance for a test in the next Council special election.
That could come sooner than many might expect if Richard Alarcon is convicted of perjury and voter fraud.
Trutanich honed on three changes to NC elections:
1) clarifying the term "factual basis" stakeholder
2) establishing voter pre-registration, which will allow Neighborhood Council leaders to take a greater role in the determination of stakeholders eligibility to vote, while streamlining the election process for the City Clerk
3) requiring documentary proof of stakeholder status rather than granting voting privileges based on the voter's self-affirmation of his or her stakeholder status.
"The stakeholder definition allowed individuals to assert any basis for their involvement with a Neighborhood Council," Trutanich said in his letter to the City Council.
"Stakeholders" should be required to show "an ongoing and significant interest in a community," he said.
."The key problem is the CIty Council's 2008 change that expanded the definition of a stakeholder to include anyone "who lives, works or owns property in the neighborhood and any individual who declares a stake in the neighborhood and affirms the factual basis for it."
"Accordingly, the definition should provide criteria upon which to demonstrate a nexus with the neighborhood in order to ensure that a voter's stake in the neighborhood is not merely incidental, but ongoing and continuous."

I've run the Visual Studio Profiler on my development machine and created a VSP file. On my development machine, the "Function Details" view lets me see the lines of code that are taking long to run. My question is, how do I send this file to someone else without losing functionality?
When I copy just the VSP file to a different computer and try to open it up in Visual Studio, I get some of the functionality, but I can't see any of the code in the "Function Details" view, and instead see "Source code not available. You may not have the appropriate symbol paths or there was an error loading the symbols."
I've tried copying the source and PDB files as well but the same results occur. In the output window, it seems that Visual Studio is trying to look for the PDB files in a path that existed on my development machine, but since it's running on a different computer it can't find them.

25 weeks with fluttering heart.
I have had this my whole pregnancy. I will be sitting down and relaxing and out of the blue my heart will start to beat really fast. I have asked my doctor about it but, she said it wasn't something to worry about. I do worry though because when this happens I get shortness of breath as well, is all of this normal?

Along with fluctuating hormones, remember that our bodies have a LOT more blood in them, and our vessels are much more dilated to accommodate that blood volume, so the heart has to work a bit harder than it used to in order to pump it throughout your body and into the placenta, too! I notice that I get palpitations (it sounds like what you are getting)when I change positions (like lying to sitting, or standing to lying). As long as they are just brief (I think my doc said no longer than 15 seconds, but you should ask your doc if you are concerned) they aren't anything to worry about, just ANNOYING! Don't worry! Your body is doing what it needs to to accommodate both you and your baby's changing bodies! I hope this helps.posted 11/11/2007 by JessTurtle
It happens to me as well, my Dr. also says it is normal. I tend to notice it more when I have not had sufficient water that day, or if I'm feeling a little tired. In addition, I had a history of SVT, which was corrected prior to pregnancy, and to me feels almost like little aftershocks of it. For those of you who don't know, SVT tends to be hereditary, is not commonly life threatening, and is often brought on by hormone levels (i.e pregnancy), dehydratiion, and exhaustion.posted 10/27/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I had this with my last two pregnancies, but not this one (yet). Mine was due to a condition called Mitral Valve Prolapse. I was diagnosed with my second pregnancy because it was pretty bad and annoying (and scary, too!). It's harmless, but it was reassuring to see a cardiologist and to be able to put a name with the symptoms I was having. I've read that this is common in people who have high-metabolisms and who are generally tall and thin.posted 10/30/2007 by sb1971
I've had heart palpatations since about week 18. I'm now at 25 weeks & continue to have them daily. I wore a halter monitor & it showed some PVCs & tachacardia. At first my family Dr. wanted me on a medication, but when I reminded him that I am pregnant, he determined that there isn't anything that needs to be done & the medication may not be safe. It can be scary, but I've been reassured that it is not harming me or my baby. Be the way, Tumms or Zantac have nothing to do with this, it is just how your heart handles the extra blood in your system.posted 05/21/2008 by Mama Mieras
I was nervous about this too, right before I found out I was prenant I was all of a sudden getting anxiety attacks, never had them before then one day it was like I was prone to them. When I told my OBGYN about it she said that, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat are just something that happens during pregnancy. Just stay calm so I do not give myself an anxiety attack and it will pass. Of course she said that if I feel it is happening too often then to keep telling her and then she might see about having some tests done, but more than likely it was nothing. I remember this happening one time with my first baby and I went to the hospital but after 3 hrs of sitting in the waiting room we finally went home, obviously they werent too worried about me or my child and I felt better anyways. Just when it happens I drink water, and stop whatever I am doing and do something fun, like if im at work I will stop working and play on the internet, to take my mind off of it. Good luck hun!posted 12/18/2007 by sholchak
I'm just about 22 weeks. I have, in my opinion, very strong palpitations. Sometimes I feel so winded and out of breath. I saw a cardiologist who had me wear a halter monitor and did an echo since my heart rate was so high. He thinks it's all ok. And that it's a type of arrythmia (sp?) that it's ok to have extra beats in your heart. To be honest, I'm not a doctor so i can't dispute but I gotta tell you sometimes I wonder if I'm going to have a stroke it gets so bad. I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest and I can't breath. I've been fighting this since I was about 12 weeks. Not sure on what to do about it. I've talk to my OBGYN but he doesn't seem concerned. I only wish they could feel what i feel. What scares me more is how high my heart rate gets even when i've been sitting for some time. I'm talking 140-150 bpm. Weird right?posted 10/18/2009 by xxscoobertxx
My doctor suggested that I sleep with extra pillows and always take your time while doing activites. These two steps has helped me a lot.posted 10/29/2007 by GEQUISE
I am pregnant with my third baby and I assure you this is normal. The baby is taking up room in your tummy and putting pressure on where you are not used to it. It gets worse in your third trimester however it's all worth it when you hold your baby for the first time. Don't fret, just try some vaporizing tea before you go to bed and sleep on your side with a body pillow.posted 11/10/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
They say it's normal (especially shortness of breath) so I wouldnt stress over it. It happens to me alot too, but my doc said I'm perfectly fineposted 01/23/2011 by ManaiJones

Graduates of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program are eligible to pursue licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) and National Counselor Certification (NCC). The main requirements for licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania include 1) a master's degree of at least 48 graduate credits, 2) a total of 60 graduate credits, 3) 700 clock hours of fieldwork, 4) passing one of 4 approved national exams, one of which is the National Counselor Exam (NCE), and 5) 3,000 clock hours of supervised experience under a qualified supervisor. (see
www.dos.state.pa.us/social for complete licensure information) Graduates of the program receive a master's degree in counselor education. In some states, such as Ohio and Virginia, a master's degree in counselor education is required for licensure as a professional counselor (LPC), and graduates of counseling psychology or clinical psychology programs cannot obtain an LPC in those states.
According to the 2010 Department of Labor (DOL) projections, there is expected to be a 36% increase in the number of Mental Health Counseling. By 2020 ONETonline projects there to be much faster than average job growth (29% or higher) for Mental Health Counselors.

With the popularity and critical acclaim of HBO's "Game of Thrones," David Benioff and D. B. Weiss' adaptation of George R. R. Martin's "Fire And Ice" series of novels, it was only a matter time before we started seeing the vast array of acting talent on that show moving on to film projects during the production downtime, or after their stints have ended (we'll politely overlook Jason Momoa's "performance" in "Conan").
One of 'Thrones''s other stars, Harry Lloyd (Viserys Targaryen on the show) has now scored a leading role in Nae Caranfil's period drama "Closer To The Moon" and will star opposite two strong veterans in Vera Farmiga and Mark Strong, with lensing on the project to get underway later this fall.
Set in communist Romania, the film follows a group of Jewish former anti-Nazi revolutionaries as they refocus their skills against the communists and are arrested for robbing a bank under the guise of staging a film shoot. The group are sentenced to death but prior to their execution, they are forced to reenact their crime for a propaganda film. Lloyd plays the cameraman, Strong is one of the revolutionaries and Farmiga plays his lover and the mother of his child.
This project isn't the only one Lloyd has cooking either; the actor recently completed a stint on stage opposite Gemma Arterton and Rupert Friend in "The Little Dog Laughed," had a small role in Cary Fukanaga's "Jane Eyre" and will star as the younger version of Margaret Thatcher's husband, Denis, in "The Iron Lady."

Principals and Teachers Unaware That Courts Defer to Schools When It Comes to Discipline
0 Comments | Print | NO PDF | Share
Courts have given school authorities broad powers over student discipline. So why do students act as if they're entitled to so many legal protections—and why do principals and teachers grant them? A new study, released today on the Education Next website, finds that federal and state courts have increasingly sided with schools in student discipline cases. Researchers also found that perceptions about students' legal entitlements are way off.

Famitsu's published a fresh batch of info on Team ICO's hotly anticipated The Last Guardian for your consumption.
As translated by the wonderful chaps at Andriasang, the magazine reports that players will initially be unable to communicate with beast Torico, who will quickly doze off for a nap if you attempt to do so. Furthermore, the creature won't hesitate to spit out any food items he doesn't like the taste of.
Elsewhere, the publication confirms that The Last Guardian utilizes a collision system similar to that of Shadow of the Colossus, and that while players can be snatched by dungeon-dwelling guards, the game won't end right on the spot.
Other details include hints that Torico may have a life gauge of his own, with the developers also stewing over the possibility of showing gauges to support the player. Apparently, this is an aspect that creator Fumito Ueda is somewhat worried about.
Based on its time with the game, Famitsu notes that it's "real that exceeds real." That's a good thing, we imagine. Most intriguing, however, is the fact the publication confirms the sprawling adventure will use its own fake language.
Lastly, the mag observed that the movements of the main character – a nameless young lad, if you didn't already know – are particularly impressive. Ueda expanded on this, stating that the boy will extend his arms out when approaching a wall, or touch Torico when in close proximity to the friendly beast.
The Last Guardian is pencilled in for release in Japan later this year, with a western release apparently on the cards for winter 2011.

Gioia began his writing career as a marketing executive for General Foods Corporation, where he composed a successful advertising campaign for Jell-O. Between 1977 and 1979 he worked as literary editor of Inquiry Magazine, and as poetry editor between 1979 to 1983. In 1992, he resigned from General Foods to write full-time and to serve as vice-president of the Poetry Society of America.
In 2003, Gioia was named the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. During his six-year tenure at the NEA, he focused on increasing the appreciation for jazz, Shakespeare, and classical literature in the United States. As a result, he was dubbed "The Man Who Saved the NEA" by Business Week.
During a 2011 CUA lecture, Gioia spoke of the declining influence of Catholicism in literature.
"Once you remove religion … you don't remove the hungers of the artists or the audience. You replace them with something superficial," Gioia said. "For every true artist, a problem presents a possibility. If we learn nothing else from the lives of the saints, we should know the power their work had to change their age."

Germany Shoots Down European Union "Envisagings" Of Bureaucrat Utopia
And to think it was not even 2 hours ago that a regurgitated and largely impotent news story hit the WSJ (following up on an identical Reuters story yesterday, as ZH noted), sending the EURUSD higher by 50 pips. As we said, expect Germany to come out with a prompt refutation in minutes. The minutes in question were 90. The official denial to Gollum's lie panderings has arrived courtesy of Market News: "Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said at a regular press conference
here that the German rejection of the idea of any direct
recapitalisation of banks by the ESM "is well known." Summary: B+ for effort, C for execution, C- for market reaction halflife, and F for content, as usual.
The German government on Wednesday reaffirmed its opposition to allowing European Stability Mechanism, Europe's permanent bailout fund, to directly lend to troubled banks in the Eurozone.
Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said at a regular press conference here that the German rejection of the idea of any direct recapitalisation of banks by the ESM "is well known."
The treaty creating the ESM explicitly states that the fund can only lend to governments in return for promises of reforms. The German government has stressed on numerous occasions that it insists that this passage of the treaty is respected. The treaty has yet to be ratified by most governments including Germany.
The European Commission, however, argued in a report released earlier today that having the ESM bailing out troubled banks could help break the unhealthy mutual dependency of the currency bloc's banks and governments.
"To sever the link between banks and the sovereigns, direct recapitalisation by the ESM might be envisaged," the Commission said in its analysis.
The highly indebted Spanish government currently faces problems in rescuing its troubled banking sector.
German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble will meet his Spanish colleague Luis de Guindos in Berlin today, German ministry spokesman Martin Kotthaus said. There will be no press statement after the meeting because the talks will be "informal," he explained.
Seibert said the German government still had confidence in the Spanish government's reform course.
Oh well, time to regurgitate some more faceless rumors. Hey: has anyone heard the one about China bailing out Europe, and doing a massive stimulus?
- advertisements -
"Everyone will clean its own scheiße"
- Angela Merkel, 2008
Schäuble is her (A. Merkel's) close associate and second in command of the German leadership. He is a crippled man who obviously hates humans. He is a crippled misanthropist. Why are we being so cruel to a crippled man? Why don't we respect and fear what it means to be a crippled, since it concerns all of us equally? The answer is simple. A handicap is the most tragic thing that can happen to an ordinary person. It is the ultimate unfortunate life event. On the contrary, it is a fortunate event for Schäuble. He should have been dead and he is lucky to be crippled. He should be melting among worms but instead he still wanders about among us, even in a wheelchair. A fellow man has paid the price so that Schäuble ends up dead but he is still alive, even if handicapped.
Why did a fellow man - and fellow countryman of his - want him dead? It was because Schäuble has always been a brute. He has always been a corrupt criminal who started his career by engineering the destruction of Eastern-Germans. Because he was corrupt he lost leadership of the Christian-Democratic party and because of his crimes he is now crippled. He is a corrupt criminal who got crippled because of his choices; a corrupt brute I could hate more if he were healthy; a corrupt brute who hates us more because he is crippled. How can we compare such an inhuman crippled brute with a fellow man who has been crippled because of his bad luck?
Olympia, last time I spent several comments on the defence of Syriza, now am I supposed to defend Schäuble? He is, IMHO, one of the few politicians with a couple of brain cells on this planet.
And I don't detect any change in his political stance before/after this lunatic attacked and crippled him.
Hey, I like Alexis Tsipras since he is one of the more honest politicians. He's a thug and has advocated violence but he's never been shy about his real goal. Other pols yap about being for the people or how much they want to make things good but Tsipras is refreshingly blunt. He wants absolute power so that he can mold society to his vision.
No need to overanalyze it. He's just the embodiment of Dr Strangelove is all
...and about as warped...
"Why did a fellow man - and fellow countryman of his - want him dead?"
because the "fellow man" was a fruitcake.
I mean, why did a "fellow countryman of his" want Kennedy or Reagan or Lincoln dead?
There's nothing wrong with Schäuble, he's one of the few major politicians in the industrial world who understands something of economics and finance. You sound like a deadbeat Greek trying to vilify your creditors because you can't keep your own house in order. Are you a Greek, Olympia?
Meaning everyone in Europe will bail out their own banking systems without Germany.
wow ... the half life on these rumors is now down to 2 hours ... we must be getting close now ...
The window continues to contract. At this rate Spain's banks can collapsed in minutes, the EU can window dres 3 hours later before it fails and Spain can leave the EU by the end of the day.
"Timewave Zero" promises that it will get more insane with every new day until we reach event horizon, or the Omega point, by the end of the year.
Expect the West to announce a "humanitarian" intervention in Syria by the end of the week...
What's pathetic is that absurd rumors and possible actions "somewhere at sometime by somebody for some thing" is driving markets.
hopium in the status quo is all that holds the flock of Black Swans back.
yes please be ready to feign 'surprise' when the Black Swans arrive
...you wouldn't want to look smarter than the EU politburo chiefs
...it'll probably get you jailed
Unlike most ZH posters I realize that extreme actions (dollar/euro collapse, bonds shoot up, gold skyrockets, etc) are rare and that the powers that wannabe are geniuses for prolonging the status quo. I watch the edifice slowly crumble and wonder what folks will say when it's all over but the shouting. Probably blame it on not enough spending by the State.
What it means is that there is a LUDICROUS amount of money bet against this goat rodeo where even the HINT of it not blowing apart sends the market skyward in a short covering frenzy.
Be patient. Wait for it, wait ...
They are going to need anouther rumor..STAT
Start a rumor on a contradictory stance from an agreement that has yet to be signed off by all parties, including the country that opposes the original idea.
Truth be told, I been at corporate meetings like this. We usually agree that those backing these wonderful "ideas" are complete assholes. Same here.
"..Bureaucrat Utopia.."
Ah, you've been to Brussels?
no worthless toady ever under-paid, no matter how dumb the socialist there's always jobs for the boys here and a EC desk to hand out 2,400 directives a decade on how the private sector should follow your pontifcating dribble
I'm going to go with "Germany opposes it so it has a good chance of happening"...that seems to be the pattern of late (each time the BuBa comes face to face with the abyss).
Yet another attempt for an economic recovery via rumor and lies.
Yep...same path to the cliff.
This reminds me of George Jetson on the treadmill. Jane stop this crazy thing! And he keeps getting run over and over. Paging Dr. Banzai. Graphic needed.
Tyler do yourself and us a favour by not publishing crap news put out by the EU for at least an hour by which time the ECB announcement will put things in order. Otherwise you are robbing me of time to read the other truly good stuff on Zero Hedge.
"Ever since I took the Evelyn Woodhead Sped Riddin' course, my riddin' has im-PROVVed one hunert percent and "comprenshun" has increased "won-der-full-lee". I recommend the Evelyn Woodhead Sped Riddin' course to all mah friends out there, and you tell 'em you heard it here first on Roller Derby"
I bet they won't say the same once the german banks go kaboom because of their exposure and over leverage.
Chuck Norris was spotted in Madrid, Rome, Frankfurt, Brussels and Athens... all at the same time... can't be coinsidence,,,
I think he was withdrawing cash from ATMs
ATMs willingly give cash to Chuck Norris and are too ashamed to enforce a daily limit on him.
No Chuck Norris is soo tough, when there is a bank run, the ATMs come to him ;-)
Acutally thats it! The Eu issue a Chuck dollar - it can withstand anything!
Banking problem solved.
PS I expect to be paid in gold for this high value consultantion; no bank notes or government bonds please
I have zero doubt the banking system in Europe is currently borrowing trillions from the Fed. Those banks would already be dying en masse if that were not the case. Same with US banks, to include JPM. The crony loan system is at work. That is why you hear bearish talk from the top. They know how much money they are already flooding into the system. They wouldn't be saying that they are going to do nothing if they weren't afraid of people finding out what is really going on. Their statements are always lies to cover their tracks.
"... The crony loan system is at work."
By Crony Loan System, are you referring to a group of inbred-parasite-sociopathic-scum Central Bankers? If I did not correctly infer the essence of that phrase, kindly disregard the first sentence of my reply.
China, whose GDP per capita is one tenth that of Europe, is going to bail out the EZ? Sure they will. Sure. Sounds good.
The world is run on lies, deceit, and bullshit.
Those are the only skills of a politician, banker, or multinational CEO. Because they actually have no skills of value, they must steal anything of value from true productive individuals. In the pursuit of unearned wealth they have created a world where only the most deceitful, the greatest liar, can become successful.
Until wealth is returned to those who are willing to work for it, we will be stuck in this nightmarish quagmire. We are in an economic Vietnam war. The soldiers know what to do but the leaders are too stupid to figure it out. Like a soldier shoting his own CO in the head because he was going to get the entire unit killed, the people need to remove the leaders only looking out for their own sorry asses. If not we're all dead.
"Envisagings"... Do we mean 'hallucinations?'
It doesn't seem to be too much of a jump to conclude that a Germany who will not acquiesce to an ESF bank bailout also will not agree to Eurobonds. That doesn't leave much for the likes of Spain to recapitalize its banks nor (later) Italy to fund its sovereign deficits.
The EUR/USD's continuing tumble, despite record shorts, says the EU is up against it. There are no ideas because there are no outs, and the number of fools who buy the rumor is decreasing by the day.
Tylers can probably take some time off by just taking all the old articles about Greece and replacing "Greece" with "Spain". Actually, it is probably more correct to replace "Ireland" with "Spain", and later Tylers can replace "Greece" with "Italy", since the first two are bank problems and the second sovereign problems first and foremost. Of course, in both cases one leads to the other.
Oh my.
Lower the market to generate a batch of shorts.
Release a rumor to validate a spectacular short-covering rally.
Blow profits on coke and hookers.
"Why would they tell me
to please those
that laugh in my face
with all of the reasons
they've taught
fall over themselves
to give way"
W. Axl Rose
I find it interesting that the recent two or three investment banks that have done fancy reports on Greece 'scenarios' of what the options are if this party wins, or that one, and a government is formed or not blah blah blah leaves out, as in not mentioned or on the flow chart anywhere, the possibility of a military coup if the election blows up or goes nowhere. It is not like there is no recent history of this happening in Greece, yet it is never considered by all the smart guys that get paid so much to think about this stuff.
So if a coup does happen, it will be a 'black swan' event, which is bs, because it is certainly a possibililty, especially if the situation winds up with no government again, as per the last, recent election, and things get even more chaotic in Greece.
There - you read it in ZH first....
