As mobile devices become location-aware, it will become possible to know when people are physically co-located and to incorporate this information into social software. Is this valuable? A prototype social networking system based on physical co-presence was created and tested wizard-of-oz-style at four different physical social events by providing event attendees a digital link back to others at the event. Usage of the system was higher than expected, suggesting a meaningful role for incorporating shared physical events into social networking software. Usage and questionnaire analyses suggest some guidelines for design of such systems.

I recently had a birthday and my wife bought me a Boxee. After a little playing around and configuration, I have to say that II'm impressed.
It does the netflix app. Nothing special here, works just like my Ps3
Works good with Pandora, You tube, etc. with no problem
I can access files on my PC. This is nice because it can play about any type of file. ISO. all the mpeg, WMV, etc. all work good.
The big thing is that it works with Navi-x which gives me access to about anything on TV. For example I recorded the Kennedys on DVR this past weekend but I accidently set it up to only record 5. I searched on Navi-x and they all showed up and in nice format. It's a similar experience to "on demand" type service but reall stuff is on there. Justin TV is also an option.
You can also be on your laptop and hit the shortcut "watch it later" and it will send that link to your boxee.
It works with wifi or ethernet and it's just one HDMI cable to your TV.
I will say that I had a little bit of a problem setting up the media share with my PC but that was because I had it locked down to tight.

More On Limp Penises: Average Penis Size Not As Big As You Think
July reports of average penis size in America might have you a little stumped.
A new study published in July's issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine finds that the average American man's penis is only 5.6 inches (14.2 centimeters) long when erect.
The study is comprised of 1661 American men's self reported measurements, so it's got to be accurate, right?
Who knows.
Daily News explains, "Although many men may wish their penis were larger and may expend significant effort toward penile enlargement, this does not necessarily mean that men over report their penile size to researchers."
If men would lie to one another about their penis size, why wouldn't they lie to the face of researchers. I'm willing to bet the average is even smaller than that.
Researchers from Indiana University asked men to measure their penis's length and girth when erect, and then the men submitted their data (probably anonymously) online.
While it's only a .4 inch difference, I was sure the national average had to be at least 6 inches.
With Erectile Dysfunction on the rise in America, it's no big surprise that the average erect penis length is a little shorter than one may have thought. While ED does not reduce penis size physically, it does affect the ability to achieve erection, therefore smaller lengths would be recorded (if everyone's telling the truth, that is).
Men are going to great lengths to achieve greater penis size, but these stats don't seem to reflect it much. My previous blog details the sales of sexual enhancement and male enhancement drugs are on the rise.
The study reported, "Findings also showed that yes, penises come in all shapes and sizes: the smallest erect penis in the study was about 1.6 inches (4 cm) long, and the largest was 10.2 inches (26 cm) long. The average penile girth was about 4.8 inches (12.2 cm)."
That means that the average penis is nearly a cube! How could the average girth and length only be separated by a little over half an inch?
Despite your shock or confirmation after reading this (and quickly measuring yourself for comparison), the study revealed some other interesting news.
"Interestingly men in the study who became aroused through oral sex reported larger penis size on average than those who became erect through sexual fantasizing, the researchers reported."
I'm not quite sure how to chalk that one up, but it's thought provoking enough all by itself.
On TV, they always say, "it's not the size of the boat; it's the motion in the ocean," and that may be true, but that doesn't stop most men from wishing their penis was a little bigger. Maybe they'd lie and maybe they wouldn't; who knows?
While we're always encouraged to see discussion in the comments section, this is one where I'll have to ask you not to comment below. At least, don't weigh in on where you or your husband stands in relation to the stats.
Please. And thank you.

Port du Blanc in Brest is a large modern Marina and home to a large sailing school. We found the people here extremely friendly and many spoke good English, (we are trying to use our French honest). The cost of the Marina was very good value compared to the Irish/Scottish Marinas and there are no extras, electricity, showers, good wifi all included and the efficient laundry machines much cheaper too. We liked this place but ended up weather bound here rather longer than we would have liked.
Every morning we would awake to the excited voices of school children in canoes and sailing dinghies passing by on there way out for instruction. The scale of the activity has to be seen to be believed.
We had just caught up with the jobs and some remaining admin in time for Gillian and Graham to arrive. They had driven all the way down to Plymouth, then taken the overnight ferry to Roscoff followed by trains and buses to the Marina in Brest; quite an adventure. Really great to see them. They had however left the good weather in Scotland. We had had a couple of nice days, but as soon as they arrived it went downhill. Cold and showers which developed into winds and heavy rain as the week went on.
We did enjoy a good wee sail, albeit upwind against the tide, to Cameret where we lifted a buoy to stay for a night. After a futile attempt at fishing we prepared to go ashore in the dinghy. The outboard flooded for the second time to poor Vaila's frustration anxious to get ashore! Our old orange tender is on its last legs, it's been covering all our clothes in orange dye and is leaking and generally falling to bits. This experience outlined its unreliability as a tender since it cannot be rowed efficiently. This coupled with the fact that handling it aboard, due to its weight, is bordering on the dangerous, we resolved to get on and shop for a more practical tender.
For the night we went alongside the pontoons in Cameret. Graham said it was just like Tobermorry painted houses and all. We walked into town past a film set, with armed security guys! and the rotting rusting hulks of fishing boats from an era when this was one of the main fishing ports in France. We had to imagine just how ideal the clean turquoise waters and beautiful beaches would be on a sunny day!
The weather would not let us carry on south, so we decided to return to Brest which offered more to keep us all busy for the next few days.
While Gillian and Graham explored the castle, maritime museum and fine seafood restaurants of Brest, we discovered a new Inflatable dinghy in one of the fancy boat showrooms. It was an ex demonstration model which was in a forgotten corner upstairs at an excellent price so we bought it and they agreed to deliver it the next day. I also procured a new needle valve for the outboard carb which had been sticking and that seems to have done the trick there too!
All too soon they had to leave for the journey home, but only after treating us to a dinner of the most superb mussels, except that is for Yvonne; Whilst she is now a proven sailor, braving the Channel, she still can't quite face a bowl of mussels, so instead had the "best fish supper ever" - not the way the French menu described it, but bob on!
Next step South and then East through the Raz De Sein. This passage requires the right weather and we now have that forecast so we should make good progress this next week and hopefully get into the better weather at last.
V busy here grass growing house decorating piano exams. other stuff . Due France 5 July caen staying parc de fierbois - check web . Now anne has tooth prob aargh. Need rest. Zzzzzzzz
A link that may be useful, best, Rod p,s beware of pirates, if encountered just mention my name and all will be well, Casptain PPPUGWASH
Rick steins journey through the canal, if you wanted to take a short cut to the Med, just a thought, Rod
The Dublin experience was great, Laura accompanied me on the 20 minute train trip to the centre and then the bus tour round Dublin and then did the same with Mum the next day - just less Guinness, more shops!
Malahide itself a vibrant community and a good stopover.
The weather picture was settling and although it remained unseasonably cold we had a very stable window to get seriously south.
Laura however had to fly back to get on with her busy life, she had been a huge help to get us this far in so many ways.
We finally left Malahide on the afternoon of Thursday 30th half an hour before high tide and still only had a metre over the beach.
This was to be the first of three massive overnight voyages of about 120 miles each. What that means in sail cruising is 20 hrs plus of committed sailing. Covering such distances is quite beyond either of our previous experience. The previous legs had been long days, and of course we had extra crew. These journeys however would entail complete nights with no choice but take on negative tides and currents, and with very few options to change the plan should the weather change or any problem arise.
The first of these legs was to Milford Haven on the south west corner of Wales, 120 miles. We sailed initially but eventually had to motor most of the way. Much of the time against a negative tide in the St George's Channel (the bit of the Irish Sea between Ireland and Wales); a really long slog! It did however give us a chance of monitoring the shipping in the dark using our Radar.
As a small yacht it's really your responsibility to avoid the big ships and the fishing boats that are out there night and day, a whole different game in the dark.
There is not a lot romantic about this sort of sailing, you basically wrap up really warm, feed yourself snacks and treats, look out for ships lights and track them on the radar for hours on end taking shifts to rest - but its rarely proper sleep. You do get to enjoy the sunset and sunrise and the stars all of which at sea is awesome also the luminescence in the wake of the boat - need to see it to understand that.
Tired we arrived at Milford Haven at 2pm on the Friday. It is a very busy industrial harbour but just at the entry the little village of Dale has a good anchorage, a lovely wee place.
We anchored here for the night and then set off in the next 120 mile leg to the Scillies just after lunch on the Saturday. This was timed so we could arrive at the traffic separation zones at Lands end in day time before approaching the Scilly Isles.
This was a classic sail. Sunny but still very cold we had 15 knots of wind on the beam from the outset. 7knts without effort Malibu really getting into her stride.
Dolphins!!!.... can't describe here just how amazing an experience this was. First time we have ever been joined by lots of dolphins for a party on route. These guys know how to party!........We have the photos and video and will bore anyone who will listen next time we meet! Just fantastic.
Another long hard night and finally arriving in Hugh Town, St Mary's at 10.15 on the Sunday morning.
Delightful place and well worth a longer visit. Still cold for us, and the Girls telling us Scotland is enjoying a hot spell, clearly we have taken the weather with; the wrong stuff!
We have had various technical problems along the way (which I may blog about some other day) but the worst occurred in the Irish Sea when the cooker had a gas leak and has now been condemned. So we now were left fighting poor Internet connections to try and arrange a new cooker, meanwhile eating out.
It was going to be France before we could replace the cooker, but it had to be a certain size and spec and the delivery coordinate with our constant movements; Laura to the rescue! I struggle to order a beer in French without pointing, so her linguistic skills came to the fore and she arranged for the right device to be available for us at Brest, our next port of call.
Another long haul across the English Channel. The longest so far, across one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes and at night. The wind had gone to the East and so was not so useful but nothing was forecast to alarm us.
We were now in almost a routine with these night sails and although Yvonne was not looking forward to it but she was coping with the tasks really well, quite the seasoned sailor. Just as well since the journey was very uncomfortable and long. The wind waves from the north east meeting massive Atlantic swell making for a confused sea.
We managed to sail most of the way just using the engine for some of the time to ease the motion. A few weeks ago such a journey would have had us both seasick, but we were now resigned and in tune with the rhythm. Malibu has done it all before and takes it in her stride.
We passed through the shipping lanes without any problems seeing far fewer ships than we expected and eventually after a very long hard uncomfortable night approached France entering the Channel du Four on the North West corner of Brittany at about 9am. Mist obscured the land so we were very pleased to have our chartplotter and radar to assist. Respect to the navigators of old doing these passages, no wonder these corners are littered with wrecks!
A pleasant sail down the channel and into the Rade du Brest in the sun to arrive at the Marina at Brest, Moulin Blanc about 6pm, or rather 7pm French time. 141miles.
That's 375 miles of sailing in the last six days - 3 nights at sea. We've now settled in a lovely, very reasonable priced Marina in Brest for a few days. The cooker arrived as planned and is now fitted, best of all we had our first meal out, and you know what its been worth it! Looking forward to Gillian and Graham arriving Saturday for a week- but the forecast is for Scottish weather €#%€¥#!!!
Best wishes, M
How did Vaila handle the long passages?
Rick and I had a coffee at the boat last night with Simon. As he said the weather here over the weekend was beautiful. We ended up in Lochranza and enjoyed a great hike up to the tors on Caisteal Abhial on Saturday. Managed to avoid nuclear submarines but thought the world was coming to an end and it was War of the Worlds when round Garroch Head popped the pipe laying ship silhouetted against the sky. Saw Simon heading into Largs and gave him a wave. Two weeks now till we get the new boat, off to see the new pup next week.
Keep safe and have great fun. Look forward to your next blog.
Kim has had good news on the hand, so fingers crossed there.

Bangor was a good place to get stuck. We needed the rest to reorganise the boat and catch up with the house sale admin and banking through wi-fi. We were however well ready for getting on south and the relatively settled weather picture for the weekend gave us the chance.
Saturday we were up and out the marina for 6.45 to get the best of tide south. Idea was to get to Ardglass for Saturday and then Dublin on Sunday. We motored south against a very light breeze with the tide helping us along up to 9 kts so decided that we should keep onto Malahide. This was 80 miles or so - a very long day, but enjoyable until the last few hours when the wind and waves from the south made it a hard slog.
In checking the detail for Malahide I realised that our arrival time would not make the entry possible since the channel goes across the beach with barely a metre at low tide! Plan changed to Howth;(yes Alan you told me so). This proved to be an experience! After a 13 hour journey the last few hours of which were hard work we had to navigate a tight entry through port and starboard piles at near low tide, most of which were bent at 45 degrees. Yvonne had been allocated a berth over the VHF which turned out to be very tight and at first attempt we were blown off the pontoon by the wind which was typically quite strong at this stage. A second attempt assisted by a couple of lads from a neighbouring boat made us secure for the evening.
Although we were tired, Howth yacht club, who operate the marina, looked worth a visit and we enjoyed a few drinks with friendly local members. Laura struck up conversation with a couple who turned out to be seasoned long distance cruisers who had sailed the Atlantic Spanish and Portuguese coasts; a font of information.
On the Sunday morning the sun shone and the marina was alive with activity. All sorts of boats from optimists to sonatas and larger keel boats were joined by canoes and pleasure trip boats making for a spectacle for the masses of pedestrian sightseers.
The weather outlook for our next massive hops south was not encouraging so we decided to stay a few days in the Dublin area and Malahide offered a much cheaper option.
We set off from Howth at high tide Laura at the helm, and we now understood why half the port and starboard markers were bent- most of them are completely underwater at high tide and so your likely to hit and bend them!
A short downwind sail in 18 knots of breeze, very pleasant in the sun past Ireland's eye (see photo above). Now at high tide we still only had a little clearance over the beach into the small Malahide estuary. The beach was busy with Sunday day trippers who were paddling only a stones throw from us as we entered, a very strange sensation.
So we are here in Malahide, a small seaside suburb of Dublin, great atmosphere lots of pubs, restaurants and shops. 20 minutes on the train to central Dublin. A good landing!
Amazing to know your family grabbed life with both hands and have set off on the voyage of a lifetime!
Finn & co
PS Can I call you an "old sea dog" now?
I learnt yesterday that I am going to be a new mum, Alice's puppies were born on the 2nd of June 5 of them and I hope to visit Kendal in the coming weeks to see my new charge. She is just like Vaila and I can't wait to get her home.Looks like all going well that will be the day after Rick and I come home from holiday. We get the new boat the 27th and Rick can't wait. Take care, have fun.

To all my wonderful friends and family, a million apologies for my self-absorption over the last few months. Nothing could prepare you for the craziness of emptying your home (of 19 years), all the nightmare administration and making Vaila fit for travel- not forgetting the actual prospect of sailing away! It is a great comfort that the loveliest family have moved into our home, and both of our girls have been so supportive and encouraging which we have hugely appreciated. So now on with this new life!
Hello interweb, I am Vaila, the bricks and mortar of this family. One of my humans thought it would be a great idea to let me have my say on this here blog. My sister disagreed, but with little else to do I have convinced her to be my scribe. I only hope she manages to capture my style. So far on our adventure I have to say I am rather impressed with the variety and quality of sleeping spots; I can pretty much make myself comfortable wherever I please, with no protest from the humans. Perhaps they are feeling guilty for denying me my garden facilities. I went for an entire day and night without going to the toilet. Where is the SPCA? I have my rights you know. The silly humans thought they could have me doing my business on a mat like a badly trained puppy. The horror! So I sat tight in my bed and let not a morsel of food or drop of water pass my lips (or teeth. Do dogs have lips?) like Ghandi, but much fluffier. But then the lady human brought me water from the fridge, and who could refuse such a luxury? Thankfully we reached land just in time. Je vous aimez, pontoons.
Anyhow, the floating house is serving me well, with lots of windows to stick my head through and the like. Best of all, my humans can't go very far so I can easily keep track of them all, which is a load off of my mind. They sure are a handful for an old lady like me!
Love of Love, Sylvia. xxx

Finally escaped. This last few weeks have been hectic! Clearing the house and garage, moving some to Edinburgh, with countless trips to the dump and charity shops it felt it would never end!
Our intention had been to do some trial cruising in Scotland, before the big move south. However with the house completing, it took priority. Fact is the weather would not have encouraged us anyway. The administration of moving address, banking and getting the boat documents etc up to date was endless and frustrating. Fortunately Laura our youngest daughter was available for a couple weeks to help assist as delivery crew for the initial long legs of the journey.
So with farewells completed we set off on Monday 20th May and Motorsailed over to Arran anchoring at Kings Cross. Lovely evening sunset to remind us of the beautiful Scottish scenery we are leaving behind.
We had been encouraged to get on the way by a prolonged period of Northerly winds which were initially predicted to be relatively light for the week. By Tuesday it became obvious that they were going to become increasingly strong.
Set off 6.30am on Tuesday morning motoring in five knots of breeze but soon the NW wind established itself and we enjoyed a brisk broad reach with just the genoa down past Ailsa Craig the newly overhauled Hydrovane controlling our track for a while. The sea built as the day progressed to become quite uncomfortable in the North Channel. We reefed the Genoa and motorsailed over to Bangor by mid afternoon, the first sixty mile leg completed.
Although we had no major problems, the journey was not comfortable. The boat having absorbed so many of our possessions it got quite a stir below. We could see that we needed to spend a bit more time on stowage. I also amused the crew by losing my balance and launching two cups of tea around the cabin when a roll coincided with stepping into the companionway. We realised that Yvonne and I were rusty not having been sailing since last August. Thankful that at least Laura had been sailing recently in France and was keen to get back there.
Bangor Marina is very nice and secure but we set off early on Wednesday with Malahide, just north of Dublin, in mind. Out only ten minutes we received the forecast on VHF which increased the wind strength expectation up to F7 in the afternoon and F8 later. This was reinforced by the 27knots we were getting instead of the 18 predicted at this time of day. So although the direction was generally favourable I decided an 80 mile leg was daft, so we promptly turned about and returned to our secure berth in Bangor to sit out the gale and so the opportunity to start our Blog........
windy but bright here.
From Margaret- I'm so pleased you have finally set sail. I'm just a little jealous. Take care
Ps enjoying the blogs, keep them coming x
My best,

Doing videogame reviews wasn't something David ever seriously considered, but he's just too opinionated to keep his mouth shut. Born in 1980, he was brought up playing everything from Atari 2600 to NES because of his brother. However, while his sibling's interest in gaming waned, David's interest continued to flourish. Today, he has over a dozen systems still hooked up to his gaming rig. An avid Castlevania fan, he even purchased the Holy Grail of the series, Dracula X for PC Engine, even though he has yet to acquire the console. This has led David to become a videogame collector as well as a player. He has a penchant for rhythm, platform, action and adventure titles. He enjoys the esoteric ones as well. But there isn't a game that David isn't willing to try once, even the legendary Bebe's Kids. David is also a successful musician, graduating from the University of Toronto with an honors bachelor of music composition degree. His works have been performed across North America and Europe. In addition, David has written works for the theatre, film and national and international television In between his gaming and music, David spends his time with the two rabbits he keeps with his wife, Gamecritic emeritus Erin Bell (whose relationship has even survived Battletoads). They currently share a home with their son in Toronto, Canada.

Us stocks closing: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged lower on Monday as concerns about demand for Apple products sent shares of the tech heavyweight lower and investors braced for earnings disappointments.
But Dell Inc's stock jumped 12.8 percent to $12.28, offsetting some of the tech-sector weakness, after Bloomberg TV said the No. 3 personal computer maker is in talks with private equity firms to go private.
Apple lost 3.1 percent to $505.33 and was the biggest weight on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes after reports that the company has cut orders for LCD screens and other parts for the iPhone 5 this quarter due to weak demand. The stock earlier hit a session low of $498.51, the first dip below $500 since Feb. 16.
"It's clear from (Apple's) reducing their supply orders that the sales haven't met their expectations, though certainly the orders they put into place for the iPhone 5 displays were higher than those that were in place for the prior phone," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
"Certainly, the rate of growth that they had - the tremendous surge in their revenue, stock price, all things do eventually slow and come down, so it's not a big surprise."
Apple suppliers also lost ground, with Cirrus Logic off 8.7 percent to $28.82 and Qualcomm down 1.4 percent to $63.98. The S&P tech sector declined 1 percent as the worst performer of the 10 major S&P sectors.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 24.95 points, or 0.19 percent, at 13,513.38. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.81 points, or 0.06 percent, at 1,471.24. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 5.62 points, or 0.18 percent, at 3,120.02.
The Dow fared better than the other two indexes as Hewlett-Packard rose 6.3 percent to $17.18. The stock, which was up early in the session after JPMorgan upgraded its rating on the stock and raised its price target to $21 from $15, added to gains after the Dell report.
The pace of earnings season picks up this week with 38 S&P 500 companies set to report, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Intel and General Electric.
Overall earnings are expected to grow by just 1.9 percent in this reporting period, according to Thomson Reuters data.
President Barack Obama warned Congress at a news conference on Monday that a refusal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling next month

Lisa Vanderpump's Fountain of Youth Skincare Line
September 22, 2011 01:04 PM by Jackie Morrison
Lisa Vanderpump may be the mother of two grown children but she hardly looks a day over 35. The former actress turned reality star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and international entrepreneur is now spokesperson of a skincare line called Epione. In addition to her many businesses with husband Ken Todd, Lisa Vanderpump takes self care very seriously and has partnered with her plastic surgeon to offer her own brand of the fountain of youth.
Dr. Simon Ourian has formulated a cream that Lisa Vanderpump credits with keeping her face fresh and firm like it was in her twenties. Together with his brother, Dr. Bob Ourian, he founded the Epione Institute that offers high end cosmetic skincare. Lisa Vanderpump has been the face of the line for a few months now and with a second season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on the air, could bring some business to the products.
The results of using Epione may be behind Lisa Vanderpump's March 2011 cover on Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine. She looked stunning in a classic black and white photograph that captured her English poise and high society charm. Mrs Vanderpump began her career as a fashion model and actress in her native London so she was a natural in front of the camera.
Both Ken Todd and Lisa Vanderpump have had a busy few months before the season premier. Their daughter Pandora got married and they sold their mansion for a new one in Beverly Hills. Still active in the community, Lisa Vanderpump took time to show support to co-star Kyle Richards for her host duties at the 2011 Emmy Awards. As season two unfolds it promises to showcase more of her ventures in upcoming episodes. Most recently, she was the voice of reason at Camille Grammer's Colorado home when Taylor Armstrong began to unravel over her troubled marriage.

FactCheck.Org Concludes Paul Ryan's Budget Claims Don't Check Out
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is clearly a pretty smart guy, but one of his greatest assets is his perceived earnestness, sincerity, and honesty. During his 19 Easter town halls in Wisconsin, Ryan charmed the crowds into agreeing that our entitlement spending was out of control and that his plan — while maybe not the perfect solution — represented a brave step forward towards balancing the federal budget. In doing so, he convinced almost everyone to at least consider his proposal as a starting point for negotiations.
ThinkProgress — which attended many of these meetings — reported that in making his case, Ryan routinely side-stepped the real concerns of his constituents by relying on platitudes and outright misrepresentations of his plan and now FactCheck.org has found that he used on the same sleight of hand in a series of "Setting The Record Straight" web posts on his website:
– Ryan says Obama's proposed budget "commits seniors to bureaucratically rationed health care." In fact, the new health care law states that the advisory board to which Ryan refers "shall not include any recommendation to ration health care." Furthermore, the board members are to be primarily doctors, economists and other outside experts, not Washington bureaucrats.
– He says that closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap would "increase prescription-drug prices for everyone." But the Congressional Budget Office says out-of-pocket costs would be unaffected or lower for many.
– He claims the health care law doesn't improve Medicare's finances. Not true. It does, but experts worry some cost controls won't be fully implemented. Furthermore, Ryan's budget keeps in place some of those same cost controls.
– A GOP document defending Ryan's plan wrongly claims that the budget "does not cut Medicaid" and that it "spends more on Medicaid each year than it does the previous year." That's false. Ryan's own projections call for slashing Medicaid below this year's spending level for years to come.
During his town hall meetings, the Ryan was routinely challenged by his constituents on his plan to lower tax cuts for the rich and transform Medicare into a "premium support" system in which seniors received a pre-determined sum of dollars to purchase health coverage from private insurers. Wisconsinites pressed Ryan on why the money used to extend the Bush tax cuts wasn't being applied to the deficit, why their children would not receive the same guaranteed Medicare benefits that they've enjoyed, and why the government's "premium support" did not keep up with medical inflation.
Ryan usually dismissed these concerns by saying that repealing the Bush tax cuts would only negligibly affect the national debt and by insisting that the biggest threat to Medicare was doing nothing at all. He also disingenuously claimed that the GOP's "premium support" proposal was almost identical to the coverage he receives as a member of Congress, repeated the debunked notion that Medicare would not change for Americans over 55 years of age, and incorrectly said that he would not cut the current Medicare program.

Following are the minutes of the regular Faculty Council meeting of November 18, 2002.

The General Faculty
November 18, 2002

Voting Members: 48 present, 26 absent, 74 total. Non-Voting Members: 7 present, 27 absent, 34 total. Total Members: 55 present, 53 absent, 108 total.
There were no questions about the written report (D 2195-2198).
A. Minutes of the regular Faculty Council meeting of October 21, 2002 (D 2199-2202) were approved by voice vote.
Marvin Hackert reported on the meeting of Texas Council of Faculty Senates held on October 25-26. Issues discussed included distance education and research-track versus teaching-track faculty status.
VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS — None.
VII. REPORTS OF THE GENERAL FACULTY, COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS, AND COMMITTEES — None.
A. Procedures for The University of Texas at Austin Administrative Investigations of Policy Violations Alleged Against Faculty Members (D 2360-2362).
This legislation was introduced by Professor Janet Staiger (radio-television-film). She said the intent was that faculty members have an opportunity to respond to any allegation of a rule violation, that they be given a hearing before their peers, and that no disciplinary action be taken before a fair hearing was held.
The Council approved an amendment, introduced by Professor Alan Friedman (English), to add the following statement immediately after the fourth paragraph of the original proposal: "In cases in which it may be appropriate to suspend with pay a faculty member while an investigation or hearing is in process, procedures for a faculty hearing tribunal prior to the suspension with pay as outlined in Regents Rules Part One, Chapter 3, Section 6.33, will be followed."
Professor Sharon Stover (radio-television-film) asked how the legislation originated and why it was considered necessary. She also said that she believed the definition of "significant policy violation" was extremely broad. Professor Staiger said the discussions that led to the proposal originated from several faculty grievance cases.
The secretary said he agreed with Professor Stover about the definition of "significant policy violation." He believed the statement should indicate that most disputes should be settled informally, with the process in the proposal being used only in extreme circumstances. Professor Staiger said she did not really disagree with that, but the committee believed that the proposal as written was appropriate. The secretary pursued the point, and Professor Friedman said the
committee was trying "to build a set of procedures that would give the individual who has been charged with certain professional violations a clear path for appeal and would also protect the institution's rights to discipline where appropriate without looking arbitrary or whimsical."
Professor Archie Holmes (electrical and computer engineering) said he believed the circumstances under which the procedure in the proposal would be invoked should be stated very clearly. He believed the proposal in its current form could put an undue burden on faculty members selected to serve on grievance panels. Professor Staiger said she did not share that concern.
The Council then approved the proposal by voice vote with none voting against; there was no call for abstentions. 1
B. Narrative Report and General Recommendations from the Task Force on Assembly and Expression, The University of Texas at Austin (D 2203-2359).
Professor Laycock (law), chair of the task force, led the Council through the highlights of the report. He said the major changes were relatively few; the report was mostly devoted to clarification and organization. The task force believed that the rules should be stated clearly and succinctly, and, to the extent possible, they should be available in one place.
He said the recommendations would eliminate many of the current advance permission requirements, and would emphasize areas for amplified sound as opposed to free speech zones. The number of areas for amplified sound would increase from three to eight under the recommendations; each area would in some way be an experiment, and the list might need revision if, for example, an area leads to disruption of work in offices or classrooms.
He spoke at some length on rules regarding harassment and first amendment rights, as they currently exist and as they would be influenced by the recommendations.
Student Representative Rusty Ince (Senate of College Councils) asked about rules relating to student Web sites, and Professor Laycock said the report did not address that issue. In response to a comment from Professor Bruce Palka (mathematics), Professor Laycock said the report did not address teaching and research, and that otherwise students, faculty, and staff were treated essentially equally. Professor Linda Reichl (physics) asked about outside reporters, and the answer was that there are no rules limiting those who come to observe but not speak. Professor David Spence (MSIS) asked why the task force rejected the idea of regulating the time, place, and manner of rallies, since some were likely to be disruptive. Professor Laycock said there would be a constitutional problem with trying to limit activity just because it was likely to be unpopular.
Professor Alan Cline (computer sciences) asked about recruiting on the campus. After the meeting, Professor Laycock provided a statement (quoted here in part) regarding his comments in the meeting: "The question was, can an individual faculty member or a student organization invite IBM on campus to recruit potential employees from among our students. This would not be a prohibited solicitation, because IBM would not be offering anything for sale or lease. I said it would be a prohibited co-sponsorship, because IBM would be controlling the event. The department could co-sponsor, but an individual faculty member could not. That is the existing Regents' Rule, and we have not proposed to change it. The possibility I overlooked is that an IBM representative could be a guest speaker. A department, or a student or faculty organization, could invite a guest speaker. An individual faculty member could not. But it takes only three people to form a student or faculty organization. I think that an IBM rep giving a presentation to an assembled group would be a wholly legitimate guest speaker. He could not offer goods or services for sale or lease (solicitation), but he could promote IBM as a good place to work. An IBM
1 Changed January 22, 2003
rep interviewing students one at a time would in my view not be a guest speaker. The existing rules assume that the meaning of guest speaker is self-evident." President Faulkner thanked the task force for its work and said the report "was done in great detail and with a very high level of thought." He said how to deal with the recommendations in the report would be decided after December 1, a tentative deadline for public comment. Chair Granof encouraged members to send questions and comments to Professor Laycock, who offered to help members draft amendments to the report for consideration by the Council or the administration.
IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND COMMENTS — None.
X. QUESTIONS TO THE CHAIR — None.
The meeting adjourned at 3:36 P.M.

Dallas attorney Ray Hutchison, a former legislator, gubernatorial candidate and husband of former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, died Sunday afternoon, friends of the family said Monday morning. He was 81.
Elton Ray Hutchison was a state representative from Dallas from 1973 to 1977, a time when Republicans were rare birds in that body. He became chairman of the Republican Party of Texas in 1976, a job he left to run for governor in 1978.

Indie Roundup is your guide to what's new and upcoming in the world of independent film. Pictured above: Pelada, The Illusionist.
Deals. Score another one for SXSW. Pelada, a documentary that had its world premiere at the Austin festival last month, has made a distribution deal with FilmBuff and will be released in June. Pelada follows Gwendolyn Oxenham and Ryan White, two former college soccer stars, as they travel the world filming pick-up games, an activity known in Brazil as "pelada," or, literally, "naked," the game stripped to its core, according to the official site.
"It is the personal aspect of the film that is its greatest strength and emotional center," wrote Landon Palmer at Film School Rejects, "a grounding that engages even a viewer as uninformed as me with the subject through its universal themes and engrossing narrative." Timed to coincide with the World Cup, look for Pelada on demand via cable systems, starting on June 7, with platforms such as iTunes and Amazon VOD to follow.
Sony Pictures Classics has acquired The Illusionist, Sylvain Chomet's latest animated film, and plans to release it toward the end of the year, according to indieWIRE. That's outstanding news, especially if you've seen Chomet's excellent The Triplets of Belleville, a delightful, refreshing and amusing endeavor. The Illusionist, based on an unproduced screenplay by the great Jacques Tati, is set in Scotland "at the dawn of television and rock & roll," says indieWIRE, "featuring a circus of live performers who are on their way out as audiences embrace new types of entertainment." I can't wait to see what Chomet has conjured up this time.
After the jump: Why don't we talk about the highly-profitable IMAX documentaries?
Indie Box Office Weekend. Lately this column has been running a day or two later in the week than normal -- a victim of my shifting personal schedule -- so the previous weekend's box office results are really old news by the time I get around to them. But what caught my eye recently were the remarkable cumulative earnings by independent films playing at IMAX theaters, as reported by Box Office Mojo,
First released nearly five years ago, Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D has made $32.7 million so far, while Deep Sea 3-D has now exceeded $43 million. The latter seems to be an outstanding return for a film that runs just 41 minutes. The latest IMAX doc, Hubble 3D, has gotten off to a good start, taking in almost $4 million in six weeks of release.
Like all titles that play in IMAX theaters, the premium ticket price, not to mention the usual 3D surcharge, boosts earnings. A number of IMAX theaters are located as part of museum complexes, which probably spurs non-traditional moviegoers to experience the wonders of deep space and sea on a giant screen in 3D. But I think it also ties into the idea that audiences will respond to event movies, as long as they haven't become exhausted from a glut of product.
That's the danger of so many narrative summer blockbusters crowding in for their turn in the IMAX spotlight, and why IMAX and other exhibitors have tried to pass off smaller screens and theaters as the traditional IMAX experience. They want to accommodate as many people as possible in order to maximize their profits, but maybe there should be more "sold out"signs, in order to preserve the awesomeness of the original experience that keeps people coming back to moon walking and deep sea exploring.
On a related note, Oceans, released by Disneynature on Earth Day last week, earned $8.5 million. According to AJ Schnack at All These Wonderful Things, that means it has already exceeded the gross of all but four non-fiction films from 2009. Too bad our own Peter Hall was "underwhelmed" by the well-intended doc.

the fall, Atlantic crossings and then Caribbean in winter). Seabourn
passengers who had booked passage after September 1 were rerouted to other
vessels in that line and the folks at SeaDream, who include Larry Pimentel,
Seabourn's former president and SeaDream's new CEO, have created a
simplified pricing structure to attract passengers. Plan to pay $325 per day
for European sailings, $250 per day for the Caribbean and $199 for
crossings. That's per person, double occupancy and rates include gratuities,
port fees and some alcoholic beverages.
The charming twins, whose stellar appearance had been allowed to languish a
bit under Carnival ownership, will go into a serious refurbishment during
drydock in April. Ft. Lauderdale-based North Star Tours is handling

Artist Movie Reviews
User reviews on Artist
I wasn't thrill when my friend wanted to see it first in our academy award round up. Silent film, skeptical, but it keeps u enthralled from the beginning. I loved the messages that nothing lasts forever, when the chips r down and u get lost in self pity don't b too proud to accept help,and know that the art of gratitude for being helpful is not lost.
The story is simple but moves well. Last but not least the doggie should get his own academy award! This film was a nice surprise.
I don't get all the raves about this picture. It certainly is a daring and admirable enterprise to produce a silent movie, and it would have been a very good silent movie in the 20's, but I just don't see how it can be put in the same league as the other Oscar candidates this year. The story line of the impact of talkies on actors, producers, etc., has been done many times before, and this one was disappointingly predictable and somewhat boring. I kept waiting for the story to take an unexpected turn which would have made it special but it never did. The actors performed well, but not at a level which would set them apart from the other Oscar candidates for best acting. The only actor that was truly outstanding was the dog! The dog was marvelous!. For me, the Artist was a good quality silent movie, nothing more.
I liked this movie very much. I regret that the director allowed the reuse of the Love Theme from Vertigo to be used as the climax music. It is too important a scene in the film to deflect the attention to an iconic Bernard Hermann composition to steal the scene.
As an homage, it's right on point. A tad too long, but I forgive them Altogether, it is wonderful to see.
Please find a photo of Jean duJardin and Berenice Bejo to post in this movie profile. They are the stars of this film, and it is inexcusable that you have not put their photos here.
Creative, daring (black and white, silent), wonderful set decoration, both lead actors played their roles well with the woman (Peppy Miller) VERY photogenic. I have, however, seen several films this year which were much better, plus, I wince whenever I see the Weinstein Production Company backing a film. Oh, and I dozed off 8-9 times. Be prepared to be disappointed
It was really hard to convince my friends to see this film because as soon as they heard that it is a silent film that is in black and white they made up excuses not to see it. But I am very persistant and I finally convinced my friends that it is worth a try and they are still thanking me to this day. I guarantee that you will love this film and will make it your mission to convince people to see it because that is exactly what happened to me. I am officially in love with this film because it is truly profound and I really hope it will win the best picture because it really deserves it. This film warmed my heart and i had a smile on my face all the way back home.
This is a romance set in 1927 Hollywood about a silent movie star George Valentin and a young dancer Peppy Miller, the film is directed by Michel Hazanavicius and stars Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo and John Goodman. I absolutely loved this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. This film was such a breath of fresh air and if you are looking for a great time this is a film for you. The film is simple and pure, it goes back to the basics where there are no flashy special effects to distract the audience from the plot and the acting, this film is absolutely beautiful, I wish more films like this would be shown in the theaters. If you are a fan of classic Hollywood films, you will fall in love with this movie.
I thought this was a beautiful and amazing film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. This film has a massive appeal and I think that it will be nominated or at least it should be They do not make films like this anymore and I really wish they did, it is simple and incredibly refreshing and also very entertaining, basically it has everything that one could want from a film. If you love classic Hollywood films you will absolutely love this film and even if you are not a fan you will still have a great time.

From trivial to vulgar
Be careful what survey results you wish for
What a difference 10 days make! If you read my lament in WORLD's last issue, you'll recall my frustration at the reluctance of a band of Walmart shoppers to participate in my simple sidewalk survey. My question to them, I thought, was fair: "Is there any particular message you'd like to send to the government in Washington?" But almost no one wanted to talk-and I devoted this space to my frustration ("Mr. Gallup would be sad," Dec. 17).
I couldn't let the matter rest. Back I went this past week to the same Walmart parking lot, determined to show myself a more winsome and a better interviewer. The rain had stopped, the holidays were closer, the Salvation Army bell ringer was there, and maybe, I thought, people would have cheered up a bit.
The results include good news and bad news.
The good news is that the folks coming and going at Walmart's main door were indeed sweeter-spirited and more willing to stop for a brief chat than they had been 10 days earlier. Both times, I approached about 30 people over a two-hour period. I'd done this same thing a number of times before, and typically found I could get 20 decent conversations out of 30 approaches. What was so upsetting a couple of weeks back was that out of 30 approaches, only two or three people were willing to talk. This week, only one person out of 30 said no-and she apologized and explained she was late for another appointment.
The bad news, though, is that all these folks who were so ready to talk had so little to say.
"Hang Obama!" ranted Delmar Howard, one of my very first interviewees. "What?" I asked, taken back by his vicious candor. "Yah," he said, watching me take notes. "You asked what message I'd like to go to Washington. And I said to tell them to hang Obama. He's done more to destroy our government than any terrorist ever thought of doing. He should pay the ultimate price." And then: "You got that?"
"Pump a whole lot more money into Planned Parenthood," suggested Jayfish Thompson. "I hear they help keep poor families smaller, and that's one of the main things we need right now. We can't afford any more poor people." Was my wide-eyed wonderment showing as I scribbled in my reporter's pad?
"Cut the prices of food and gas," said Lisa Reed. I wanted to ask her if that was the federal government's task, in the first place, and if the feds had that ability even if it was their job. I was here, though, not to argue, but simply to report responses. Like shopper Thomas Clark's complaint: "The rich don't pay no taxes at all. Poor people been carrying this country since the United States began. It's time the rich people did their part." I asked Mr. Clark how much his tax bill had been in 2011, and he said he "couldn't rightly remember."
"Legalize drugs," said Jasper Marshall. "We've got more people in jail because of drugs than for murder and rape. Is that what we want?"
I could go on. But it's time to tabulate the results. Virtually every response from these willing gabbers fell into either of two disappointing categories: They were trivial and without substance. Or they were crude, coarse, and vulgar.
Some will say this is the nature of a democracy. Don't expect elegant answers from the common people. Don't look for sophisticated insights from the hoi polloi. Maybe you'd get more thoughtful, civil answers from shoppers at Barnes & Noble. But I've been around enough to sense that the distance and distrust I heard two weeks ago at Walmart, and then the trivial and vulgar responses this week, are not an altogether unrepresentative picture of the larger America today. The mass media feed it. The individualized social media (Facebook and Twitter) feed it. And it's not true only of the "Walmart class." We have become, across all classes and in so many ways, a trivialized and vulgarized people.
So I got the responses I was looking for. But now I almost wish I hadn't.

The Exelis AN/ARC-201 Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) System Improvement Program (SIP) airborne radio is a reliable, field-proven voice and data battlespace communications system with networking capabilities.
The AN/ARC-201 is a tactical airborne radio subsystem that provides secure, anti-jam voice and data communication. The integration of COMSEC and the Data Rate Adapter (DRA) combines three Line Replaceable Units into one and reduces overall weight of the aircraft.
Additional features such as improved error correction, Enhanced Data Modes (EDMs) (including packet data), more flexible remote control and Global Positioning System (GPS) compatibility allow the Exelis Airborne SINCGARS radio to assume a number of new roles supporting future digital battlefield requirements.
The AN/ARC-201 is backwards compatible with existing SINCGARS Data Modes (SDMs). The EDMs of the radio employ a Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique that provides enhanced bit-error-rate performance. The EDM packet data mode supports packet data transfer from the airborne host computer to another airborne platform, or to the groundbased equivalent SINCGARS system. The radio is Enhanced System Improvement Program (ESIP) waveform compatible and provides voice and data packet retransmission capabilities as well as improved noisy channel avoidance for enhanced Frequency Hopping (FH) synchronization.

Hey Mike C I'm looking around for lighting and not sure what to go with. My tank is 18x18x24tall I'm thinking of going with mainly lps and softies but might get into sps in the future. How deep do your par 38 bulbs penetrate? Would i need to go with two to assure I dont have any dark spots in my tank?
I would suggest two for best results. On a 24" high tank, I would recommend keeping them somewhere around 6" above the water line with 60 degree optics, you may be able to go a bit higher without sacrificing too much PAR, but I believe you will be more than fine with SPS towards the middle and top of the aquascape.
That's me!
I am on top of things! Lol
can I still use the $10 coupon code? If I am paying with paypal, where do I put that?
Once you go to check out with Paypal there is an area to put the coupon code before actually submitting the order. These coupon codes are NOT eligible on items that are are already on discount (Tri-Color and TwentyK).
Thanks everyone!
Mike C.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I have found what I think is an annoying bug in the Office 2013 applications that is keeping our staff from creating new documents on the road in places where they have no internet access. For reference, our computers in the field are Surface Pro 128 GB models running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and Office 365 Small Business Premium 64-bit (Ver. 15.0.4535.1004) and we are on hosted Office 365 post-upgrade. We are completely up-to-date on patches for Windows and Office.
Here's the problem, which should be very easy to replicate: When a computer is not connected to a network with internet access or is in airplane mode, Word, Excel and other Office 2013 applications cannot save to some nested folders within the main SkyDrive Pro folder. It seems to vary on the nesting level required for the error to occur, but in general, 3 levels almost guarantees it. So, if I open Word 2013 on an offline computer and attempt to save a new file to "C:\Users\[Name]\SkyDrive @ [Company]\Foo\Bar\Test\test.docx", Word spits out the following error: "Word cannot open or save this file because the path name is too long." Of course, we can see that the path doesn't exceed 255 characters by any means.
If we open Excel 2013 and try to save a new file to "C:\Users\[Name]\SkyDrive @ [Company]\Foo\Bar\Test\test.xlsx", Excel says this: "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file ''. There are several possible reasons: - The file name or path does not exist. - The file is being used by another program. - The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook." Once again, all 3 possibilities for the error fail to pan out.
However, if we open Notepad and try to save a new file to "C:\Users\[Name]\SkyDrive @ [Company]\Foo\Bar\Test\test.txt", it succeeds perfectly, which points to the Office 2013 applications as the cause of the problem.
I have tested this on multiple computers, so I'm fairly confident that it is not specific to our environment and that a solution can hopefully be found (and patched, if necessary). It is really impacting our users and it isn't fun to tell them to either leave all of their documents open and save when they can get WiFi or save them to the Desktop and then manually copy them into the SkyDrive Pro folder using File Explorer. This is the kind of stuff that should work seamlessly, especially since SkyDrive Pro was developed alongside Office and with Office in mind, specifically.
Please let me know if you can replicate this problem.
- Brandon
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Brandon,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention, your time and efforts on this matter are highly appreciated.
I have reproduced this issue on the following environments:
Windows 7 64bit, Office 365 Small Business Premium 64-bit (Ver. 15.0.4535.1004), SkyDrive Pro (Ver. 15.0.4505.1007)
Windows 8 64bit with Office 365 Small Business Premium 64-bit (Ver. 15.0.4535.1004), SkyDrive Pro (Ver. 15.0.4535.1000)
The Office 2010 doesn't have this issue.
The Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (Ver. 15.0.4420.1017) doesn't have this issue.
If I create the Word document directly by using right click menu or copy the documents to the SkyDrive Pro local folder to edit. It can work fine.
We need to further investigate this issue.
However, I have resolved the issue on my test computer by using the steps below. But I have found the root cause. So, I cannot ensure it can work in your environment.
1. Reproduce this issue (In Word 2013) in the offline environment. (Create a test document on the desktop and save as to the SkyDrive Pro local folder)
2. Then click "Sign out" in Word 2013 as the screenshot shows below:
3. Don't close this document. Connect to the internet then click "Save As" to save it to the SkyDrive Pro local folder again.
4. The Word client will finish some procedures then finish the "Save As" step.
5. After finishing the steps above, I disconnected the internet and try to reproduce this issue. This issue hasn't occurred again.
Please let us know if it can work in your environment.

Thanks for investigating. Unfortunately, your workaround only works on a folder-by-folder basis in our environment and doesn't correct the problem automatically in all subfolders of the 'fixed' folder. Our users have a lot of folders, so it would be time-prohibitive for me to repeat the procedure on every folder in a user's SkyDrive Pro storage.
However, for now, I can have our users create the files they need to create while offline by using File Explorer and then opening any newly created document in Word to edit it, as that always works. If you find the root cause and/or there is a patch/hotfix released that fixes this problem, please let me know, as our users would be quite happy.
We appreciate your understanding.I have sent the report of issue to the related team. If there are any updates, I will reply the thread.
I have the same problem. Did anyone come up with a viable solution to this problem?
I was hoping that the problem would be fixed in Office 2013 SP1, but it is still present. The only way that I've found to work around the problem is listed in my previous post. Unfortunately, it seems like this problem is rather low priority for the relevant team at the moment, so I'm not holding out much hope for a fix anytime soon, if at all.
OneDrive for Business (formerly SkyDrive Pro) in general needs some work and feels like more like a public beta than a released product...
I have exactly the same issues, and it's a real hassle to have to deal with this when travelling a lot and being a business user. Is there a real solution by now, because the workaround takes too many steps.
thanks, Marco
My experience with Office 365 is appalling. I have been trying it out as part of finding out solutions for a client (and future clients) and after numerous pitfalls, and now the above problem, I am seriously thinking of looking elsewhere. As someone else has said, it really feels like an unfinished Beta product and it really doesn't do "what it says on the tin". Anyway, I too have this problem (doesn't anyone who works with offline files?). I am begging for a fix (the one above is hardly a fix) but seeing as though the original post is 7 months old, I guess I am not holding my breath. Unbelievable! I remember the days when customer service mattered and if something was faulty you would be entitle to a refund or it got fixed. Sigh! My workaround at present is to save to desktop and then manually move the file to the OneDrive folder (previously stated).
Dear Microsoft Team,
As a MS Partner I can verify the repeated existence of this problem.
I manage a portfolio of clients that in one degree or another have been moving to a full Office 365 solution.
Unfortunately, it is becoming quite uphill to maintain the users confidence in the solution when these types of issues black-hole with no solution neither feedback.
Onedrive is objectively and indisputably a product that was not ready for prime time as released. On each one of my customers, their user base works with documents in roaming mode and not being able to save their files is obviously a big problem that I don't understand how come does not gets addressed in expedited mode.
Can someone please escalate to the appropriate responsible party?
I have a parade of several other issues with Onedrive, but this one is a big show stopper.

Thanks for bumping the thread and keeping it alive. It's been over 9 months (!!) since I started this topic and there is no word of a fix for this problem. It really is a showstopper, like you say. I'm really disappointed that this problem has only been mildly acknowledged and not resolved by now.
To any Microsoft support reps that are reading this topic, what exactly are we supposed to do to get problems resolved in a timely manner? Small businesses need to have a voice when it comes to services like this. This isn't a trivial problem for us; it cripples workflows for our users and I feel like we are being ignored simply because we don't have much weight to throw around. The thing is, problems like these do have a real impact and need to have due attention paid to them.
I hope to see a solution soon and plan to reach out to more contact points about this if I am ignored here. Maybe commenting on the Office blogs would make more of an impact?
I suggest you to download new Long Path Tool software that simply allows you to work easily on Long Path files.
Thank you.

Just wanted to see if there was any likely timescale for a resolution to this problem? I'm just about to roll out OneDrive Pro to our organisation and it's pretty fundamental that Office products can save to the sync'd folder when offline.
If it is useful, I'm running Windows 8 64 bit Home and Business Edition of Office.
Please could we have a definitive list of products affected, and timescales for a fix/hotfix?
Also, is there a more appropriate forum to raise this as a bug.
Hi Microsoft,
How can we get this bug escalated? This is a real shame that it has not been addressed. It is not even acknowledged in the known issues section in Office 365!
Some of the key points that our customers want to use OneDrive for Business for, simply do not work.
Please can someone take ownership and assist?
Hi Microsoft,
This is causing us a major issue saving files when working off-line we have a remote workforce that travels and need to be able to save work in the most efficient way possible. If Dropbox and others can do it without issue why can't you integrate your products properly?
