Visitors, after hours
It's been cold, snowy and oddly humid here in Paonia, Colo., but a few intrepid souls still ventured out to visit us. Longtime subscribers Dave Morgan and Bobbie Sumberg dropped by our office while on a trip from their home in Santa Fe, N.M. Unfortunately, by the time they reached HCN, we'd already closed for the day, but later that evening, while enjoying a local-foods dinner at Fresh & Wyld Farmhouse Inn, they bumped into our business manager, Denise Massart-Isaacson, and her husband, Bob, who were also out on the town. Later that weekend, they did some backcountry skiing, and then it was back to work -- river restoration for Dave, textile exhibits at the Museum of International Folk Art for Bobbie.
Reader Anne Little of Missoula, Mont., recently sent a note to author Brian Doyle, whose prose poem "What's It Like To Live In The West" appeared in HCN in October 2007. "That poem was the tipping point for my husband and me to finally pull up stakes in Seattle and move to THE WEST," wrote Anne. "We've been here nearly a year and, although some people would argue that Missoula, being a 'blue' neighborhood and all, isn't really the West (with a capital W), I've just had the best year of my life. My challenge now is to not be so enthusiastic about my new home as to entice all my friends to relocate as well. I expect someday the honeymoon will end and you may receive a different letter, but right now it's 32 degrees and raining and I don't mind a bit." Glad we could help motivate your move, Anne!
Ten years ago, an architect named Malcolm Wells got in touch with us after reading about High Country News in, of all things, People magazine. He said he liked the sound of a little paper based in a small town that tackled big environmental stories about the West, and -- surprisingly -- he offered to help us with some illustrations.
You bet, we said, and in 2000, Mac, as he liked to be called, traveled to Paonia, where, for a week, he helped us perk up the paper's design, spending most of his time illustrating a special issue called "Beyond the revolution," about Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt's attempt to diversify the West's power structure.
We quickly learned that Mac, who recently died, age 83, at his home in Cape Cod, was extraordinarily modest. He was a pioneer architect in what he called earth-sheltered architecture, but we could never get him to talk much about his long and distinguished career designing buildings that blended with the landscape. He wrote many books, but one of his favorites was the whimsical Sandtiquity: Architectural Marvels You Can Build at the Beach. It was written in collaboration with his daughter, Kappy Wells, and friend Connie Simo, and it featured perfectly rendered miniature landmarks you could create on a beach, using just a straightedge -- think pyramids or a sandy Machu Picchu.
Mac was one of the few people we know who wrote his own obituary, in 2006. In it, he described himself as "an atheist, a Democrat, a skinny old bearded guy" whose luck in life never failed. We were extraordinarily lucky to have worked with him.
In the Jan. 18 issue, in "Heard Around the West" we stated that San Joaquin County was in Southern California. We meant to refer to the city of San Joaquin. Our review of The Wilderness Warrior credited President Richard Nixon with signing the Clean Water Act. Nixon actually vetoed it at first and was overridden by Congress. We regret the errors.

BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — A former Massey Energy executive who conspired with others in an illegal advance-warning scheme at West Virginia coal mines was ordered Tuesday to spend 3½ years behind bars for his role in undermining federal safety laws and the inspectors charged with enforcing them.
U.S. District Judge Irene Berger sentenced David Hughart on conspiracy charges that grew out of a criminal investigation into the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine explosion that killed 29 men in southern West Virginia. Berger also ordered Hughart to three years' probation once he completes his sentence.
"I'm sorry for what I've done in the past. I let it happen," said Hughart, a former president of a Massey subsidiary, White Buck Coal Co.
Though Hughart never worked at Upper Big Branch, he is cooperating in an ongoing Department of Justice probe of the worst U.S. coal mine disaster in decades.
Two others —former Upper Big Branch security chief Hughie Elbert Stover and former superintendent Gary May — are already behind bars for their actions at the now-sealed mine near Montcoal.
Hughart has acknowledged his role in ensuring that miners at other Massey subsidiaries got illegal advance warning of surprise safety inspections, and he had implicated Massey CEO Don Blankenship in the conspiracy during his plea hearing earlier this year.
Hughart said Tuesday that giving advance warnings was a "very common practice," as common as learning to tie shoelaces as a child.
Several investigations found miners at Upper Big Branch routinely got illegal advance warnings, giving them time to temporarily fix or disguise potentially deadly conditions underground.
Massey is now owned by Virginia-based Alpha Natural Resources. Blankenship, who retired ahead of the merger, denies any wrongdoing.
Hughart, shackled at the ankles and wearing an orange jumpsuit, did not mention Blankenship when he spoke to the court Tuesday.
Hughart's cooperation signals that federal prosecutors may be working their way up Massey's corporate ladder, though they have steadfastly refused to comment on their possible targets.
Hughart was fired from White Buck a month before the Upper Big Branch blast after failing a random drug test.
He was in court earlier Tuesday for a bond-revocation hearing following a recent arrest on drug charges. Federal probation officials said he was caught Aug. 30 in Beckley with the painkiller oxycodone and the anti-anxiety drug alprazolam, but had no prescription for either.
He did not contest the drug charges in court, and Magistrate Clarke VanDervort revoked Hughart's $10,000 bond.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Ruby acknowledged the drug offenses could affect Hughart's credibility as a witness as the government builds its case.
Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died at Upper Big Branch, said that whether advance warning was common practice or not, Hughart knew it was illegal and should have stopped it.
But rather than watch people go to jail for that, Quarles wants to see indictments of the Massey executives directly responsible for conditions at his son's mine.
"I still got my hopes," he said after the sentencing. "I'm willing to wait, as long as it takes. And then slam the door on it."
Four investigations into Upper Big Branch found that worn and broken cutting equipment created a spark that ignited accumulations of coal dust and methane gas. Broken and clogged water sprayers allowed what should have been a minor flare-up to become an inferno.
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration said the root cause was Massey's "systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts" to conceal life-threatening problems. MSHA said managers even maintained two sets of pre-shift inspection books — an accurate one for themselves, and a sanitized one for regulators.
Hughart had faced up to six years under the law.
His lawyers argued in June that he'd been unfairly linked to the disaster and asked the court for leniency in sentencing. Hughart never contested his crimes but said none of his actions "can be linked to any actual mining injury."
Prosecutors, however, argued for a stiffer sentence, saying the conspiracy endangered miners' lives.

Backcountry skiing at Red Mountain Resort near Rossland
Backcountry skiing on Mount Begbie near Revelstoke (Garrett Grove photo)
British Columbia has the most important elements for fantastic backcountry skiing: big snowfalls and huge mountains.
Expect diverse terrain filled with untouched powder, glades, glaciers and incredible scenery. Cozy backcountry lodges and alpine huts allow for multi-day ski touring, and backcountry ski guides can safely assess the snowpack.
Backcountry skiing in British Columbia typically means "earning your turns" by trekking up slopes with climbing skins or by bootpacking. The reward? Skiing down through untracked snow, usually in remote areas.
Ski amongst glaciers and granite peaks in Rogers Pass, or discover untracked runs over vast ski terrain near Barkerville. Skin through deep snow in Strathcona Provincial Park or follow moose, caribou and deer tracks in Wells Grey Provincial Park. Explore the backcountry of Shames Mountain or cross 14 glaciers on the Spearhead Traverse.
Avalanche safety and route-finding skills are a must when heading into the backcountry. Learn backcountry skiing skills and safety through lodges, clubs or ski resorts such as Revelstoke, Whitewater and Red Mountain, or hire a backcountry ski guide.

Thompson Okanagan: Plenty of fresh runs over a vast area known for wildlife viewing.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: Huge terrain, dry interior powder and no crowds.
Northern British Columbia: Incredible backcountry that Powder magazine describes as "unrivalled."
Vancouver Island: Warm ocean air meets soaring peaks to create one of the deepest all-natural snow bases in Canada.
Vancouver, Coast & Mountains: Varied terrain, big snowfalls and nonstop scenic vistas.
Whistler: Classic backcountry traverses comparable to the Haute Route of the Alps.
Champagne powder is the star here: it's deep, it's dry and there's a lot of it. Annual snowfall in BC ranges from 10.5m/35ft on the west coast to a substantial 15m/50ft in the eastern Kootenay Rockies.
Terrain exists for all levels of skier. Ski alpine bowls, rolling slopes, steep chutes, epic ridges, plentiful glades and wide glaciers. Ski season generally begins in mid-November and can last until late spring.
Hire a backcountry ski guide for a safe adventure – and to find the hidden powder stashes. There are trip options for skiers of all abilities: guided backcountry ski tours can include day trips, multi-day excursions, hut-to-hut traverses and backcountry skiing lessons. Many operators also feature excellent meals.
Backcountry lodges range from luxury fly-in retreats to cozy alpine cabins. After a day of big descents (and ascents), enjoy amenities such as a cedar sauna, wood burning fireplace, bubbling hot tub or private room. Some lodges are available for private rental, though meeting new friends who share a passion for backcountry is part of the fun. The Backcountry Lodges of British Columbia Association (BLBCA) is an excellent source of information on backcountry lodges throughout the province.
Backcountry huts are another option for multi-day treks or day trips. Huts are generally more rustic than lodges, but most have comfortable facilities and even saunas. The Alpine Club of Canada, local ski clubs, and parks can provide details about travelling to and renting backcountry huts.

WOOSTER -- Not only did Austin Oberlin discover his aptitude for the medical profession, but he also uncovered an affinity for traveling and trying things he never thought he would during an eight-week medical humanitarian internship in Ghana this past summer.
"Although I learned a lot about medicine and culture, most of all I gained an appreciation for taking chances," said Oberlin, a resident of Upper Arlington and a junior biochemistry and molecular biology major at The College of Wooster. He secured his "dream" internship by working through Wooster's Lilly Project for the Exploration of Vocation.
The adventure began as soon as he was selected. "I never really imagined myself actually applying (for) and winning a medical humanitarian internship," he said. Little did he know that he was about to embark upon a remarkable journey of self-discovery.
Perhaps his most meaningful lesson came from living with a group that included two South Africans, who gave him a new and "invaluable" perspective on life. "It is something you don't think about when you prepare for a humanitarian experience," he said, "but the people that you live with are possibly more important than the experience itself."
When searching for a humanitarian program that would best suit his specific needs and goals, Oberlin applied the research skills he acquired at Wooster, and settled on Humanity World International in Ghana, which would give him an opportunity to work directly with patients. It would also give him a chance to observe another culture and learn the local language (Twi).
Oberlin was assigned to Teshie-Nungua, which is southeast of the city center of Accra, where he interned in a medium-sized hospital. He spent three weeks in the pharmacy, three weeks in the insurance office, and the final two weeks with a physician, a physical therapist and a lab technician.
In the pharmacy, Oberlin was entrusted with the important responsibility of filling prescriptions and informing patients about their medications. In the insurance office, he handled claim information and then sent it to the national health insurance office at the end of the month. His favorite part of the job was working in a consulting room with an obstetrician where he gained hands-on experience in treating a variety of diseases and illnesses including gastroenteritis, anemia and malaria.
Oberlin credits his education at Wooster for preparing him to learn about medicine, and the Lilly Program for getting him ready for his individual fellowship and making sure that he wasn't caught off guard by anything he experienced.

Support Groups: How Do They Help?
Whether you are dealing with a chronic illness, emotional problem, life transition, or want to enhance your health and well-being, your community may have a group where you can come together with people in the same situation. But maybe you are feeling a little unsure or skeptical about participating in a support group. What can you expect? How can a support group help you?
What Is a Support Group?
In earlier times, barn raisings, square dances, quilting bees, and other community gatherings were places where people came together to celebrate, nurture, encourage, and console one another. Today, most of us need that same nurturing, encouragement, intimacy and consolation, particularly during difficult times. But face-to-face interactions within the community are becoming more and more scarce. If we are lucky, we get support from family and friends, but sometimes they cannot quite understand what it is like to be in our situation. A support or self-help group comprising people in the same situation may help fill the void.
Support and self-help groups involve regular meetings where people experiencing similar problems or life transitions come together to offer each other support and encouragement. In the last 25 years, there has been an increase in the number of support and self-help groups.
What Kinds of Groups Are Available?
Support and self-help groups address many issues. Common ones include:
- Chronic illnesses/conditions—such as cancer , diabetes , fibromyalgia , post-traumatic stress disorder , alcoholism , and depression
- Situational crises—such as divorce, unemployment, single parenting , widowhood , caregiving , and surviving a loved one's suicide
- Personal growth and wellness—such as weight loss , smoking cessation , exercise , men's and women's groups
- Family support—which includes groups that help family members cope with a loved one's illness or condition
What Do You Get From a Support Group?
Although support and self-help groups can vary greatly, all groups share one thing in common—they are places where people can share personal stories, express emotions, and be heard in an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and encouragement. Participants share information and resources. By helping others, people in a support group strengthen and empower themselves. In addition to providing support, some groups may also focus on community education or advocacy.
The emotional support derived from support group participation can help reduce stress, which can have a positive impact on health. Further, people may greatly benefit from the information sharing that takes place in a support group. They may learn how to manage symptoms, develop better coping skills, and communicate more effectively with their doctors. By attending support groups, partners, friends, and family members may also learn how to be more understanding and supportive of their chronically ill loved ones. In time, all these benefits may help reduce stress and enhance recovery.
Does Everyone Benefit?
"Support groups vary enormously," says Julia Rowland, PhD, director of the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Survivorship. "They can be helpful for people who feel comfortable in a group, but they aren't the answer for everybody."
How Do You Find a Group?
Most communities, large and small, have support and self-help groups of various kinds. You can often find out about groups in the community pages of your phone book, local newspapers, or online. National self-help organizations such as Alcoholic's Anonymous typically have local chapters and are listed in the phone book and on the internet. You can also ask your doctor or therapist for information about support groups. The National Library of Medicine has an index called DIRLINE that can be useful.
Perhaps you have an issue for which no relevant group exists in your community. In that case, you may want to consider starting a support group. Let your doctor know that you plan on starting a support group and leave your phone number for others to call. Find a comfortable and accessible place and a convenient time to meet. Get the word out by using the community pages of your newspaper and posting and distributing flyers to area doctors, hospitals, and libraries.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Blue Sauces!
At BLUE we believe that good food means tasty, nutritious products that can be made from produce grown in harmony with nature, not in spite of it. We are a small family fruit farm on the Shropshire-Welsh border where blueberries, apples and other fruit flourish. We produce all of our syrups, sauces, dressings and drinks mixers here on the farm in a purpose built kitchen nestled amongst the fields where the blueberries are grown.
The flavours behind our products have been inspired by my time spent growing up in south-east Asia; the delicate fusion of oriental spices and European herbs creates delightful combinations that are guaranteed to excite everyone's taste buds! Our products are made using traditional techniques and do not contain artificial flavourings or preservatives, just lots of natural goodness. The ethos behind our products is versatility, whilst each product was originally designed with a specific purpose in mind they can all be used in a multitude of different ways.
We use ecologically sustainable farming methods and do not use insecticides, in fact insects are actively encouraged with the seeding of clover and wild flowers between the rows of blueberry plants. All our fruit is hand-picked and chilled immediately to ensure that the full flavour of the berries comes though into all of our products. We are very proud that we can distribute work back into the community and employ university students to help in the fields, picking, weeding and planting.

Since my tree card was featured in last week's tree challenge, I feel more motivated and encouraged to try again. I had fun making this card using some Hero Arts cupcake stamps that have never been used before.
I started with the HA Shadow stamp to make the squares. This Shadow stamp was my FIRST Hero Arts stamp which I bought from my first visit to "Hobby Lobby" ( my kids still like to laugh at that name) in Michigan 5 years ago.
I'm not entirely happy with this card due to the poor lighting and slightly blurry picture (or is it just me?)
This card didn't get picked : (see winners here), I blame it on my inadequate photography skills and maybe it's a bit too busy ( I regretted adding the heart and candy..)...?! We have been having so many extremely cold grey days (-15C/5F)....I can't seem to get a good picture with a day like that. So it's not ME, yup, it's just the photo-heehee!

An important part of the evolutionary mythology is that dinosaurs evolved into birds. There seems to be nothing that will convince these believers that the theory is "bird-brained" and that there is no supporting evidence for it.
Storrs Olson, Curator of Birds at the Smithsonian noted that a cadre of "zealots" were trying to "actively promulgate the theropod dinosaur origin of birds theory in concert with Nature and National Geo". They were in fact working to convince the public that it was all "settled science'.
Olson called them "highly biased proselytizers of the faith", which really had to sting. Shortly thereafter, their golden transitional feathered dinosaur fossil, Archaeoraptor, turned out to be made up of Elmer's Glue, multiple fossils and imagination.
Not to long ago, researchers at Oregon State University made a "fundamental new discovery" about how birds breathe and about the lung capacity needed for flight– concluding that it was unlikely that birds descended from any known theropod dinosaurs.
They also noted the politics involved in kicking dirt on such a sacred cow as dinobirds. Others have provided evidence that the supposed feathers were actually other structures, such as a fringe running down the dinosaur's back.
After the Archaeoraptor tragedy, science has pinned its dino-bird hopes on Archaeopteryx, which is supposed to be a transitional fossil between dinosaurs and birds. In the following article, it appears that this fossil is also not what they believed it to be…..s8int.com
Archaeopteryx Was Not Very Bird-like……
ScienceDaily (Oct. 9, 2009) — The raptor-like Archaeopteryx has long been viewed as the archetypal first bird, but new research reveals that it was actually a lot less "bird-like" than scientists had believed.
In fact, the landmark study led by paleobiologist Gregory M. Erickson of The Florida State University has upended the iconic first-known-bird image of Archaeopteryx (from the Greek for "ancient wing"), which lived 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period in what is now Germany. Instead, the animal has been recast as more of a feathered dinosaur — bird on the outside, dinosaur on the inside.
That's because new, microscopic images of the ancient cells and blood vessels inside the bones of the winged, feathered, claw-handed creature show unexpectedly slow growth and maturation that took years, similar to that found in dinosaurs, from which birds evolved. In contrast, living birds grow rapidly and mature in a matter of weeks.
Also groundbreaking is the finding that the rapid bone growth common to all living birds but surprisingly absent from the Archaeopteryx was not necessary for avian dinosaur flight.
The study is published in the Oct. 9, 2009, issue of the journal PLoS ONE. In addition to Erickson, an associate professor in Florida State's Department of Biological Science and a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History, co-authors include Florida State University biologist Brian D. Inouye and other U.S. scientists, as well as researchers from Germany and China.
"Living birds mature very quickly," Erickson said. "That's why we rarely see baby birds among flocks of invariably identical-size pigeons. Slow-growing animals such as Archaeopteryx would look foreign to contemporary bird-watchers."

The old man had a birthday the other day, which he claimed would be his last one for a while. He says he didn't have birthday parties as a child, and when he got old he just stopped counting.
The old man had a birthday the other day, which he claimed would be his last one for a while. He says he didn't have birthday parties as a child, and when he got old he just stopped counting.
There was a time when if anyone asked his age he'd answer in "half," such as five-and-a-half; or in "going on," such as "going on 10." Back then, 12 was a magic number, he could join the Boy Scouts; then 16, because he could get a driver's license; 18, because he could join the military; and 21, because he would be an adult and could buy a beer to celebrate his birthday.
After that, the years just rolled by and seemed to pick up speed as the time flew past. His theme song became the old country ballad that goes "another day older and deeper in debt."
The other day, he came over to my house and told me about an insurance man who had been trying to sell him a policy on his life. The agent told the old guy that if he'd just sign the paper and pay the premiums when they came due, the insurance company would pay $100,000 at his death.
"Who will they pay it to?" the old man asked.
"Whomever you name as beneficiary," the agent replied.
"This just didn't seem right," the old man said, "me paying for the policy and someone else reaping the benefits. Whoever is going to get the money should be the one who plays the premiums. I told that insurance man to go sell the policy to a beneficiary and let me be."
That made good sense to me. What good is $100,000 going to do the man after he's dead and gone?
The old man's grandson received a smartphone for Christmas and he was having fun asking questions orally, then reading the answers when they appeared on the little screen. It was the first time the old man had seen anything like that and he became enthralled.
"Sonny, ask that thing at what age is a person considered old," he said.
The youngster asked the question. After a waiting period, the numeral 65 and an explanation appeared on the screen.
The old fellow kinda chuckled, gave a toothless grin and said, "Well, guess I missed the 'Old Folks' Birthday Party' by 15 years. But it don't matter. My family wanted to 'du-dee up' a party for me this year, but I nixed that idea. My back hurts, my knees knock and my feet won't jive. I just can't cut the mustard any more."
He showed me a birthday card from a friend. It read: "Wishing you a Happy Birthday and Many More!"
He said he'd written the guy back, explaining that he didn't plan on having any more birthdays for five years.
"During that time I'm just going to tell everyone that I'm 80; I'll hold off on future birthdays until I get five in the can, then I'll jump to 85. That's a good number, and as fast as time is now passing, it will seem like no time at all," he said.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — A Guantanamo Bay judge is deciding whether to recommend special training about torture for a military mental health board that will examine the prisoner accused of orchestrating the attack on the USS Cole.
The judge heard testimony Tuesday from Dr. Vincent Iacopino (eye-kah-PEE'-noh) in a pretrial hearing in Cuba for Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri (ahbd al-ruh-HEEM' al-nuh-SHEE'-ree).
Iacopino wrote some international guidelines for examining torture victims. Defense attorneys say those procedures should apply because al-Nashiri was abused while being held by the CIA in a series of secret prisons.
Prosecutors say that would expand the board's scope beyond simply determining whether al-Nashiri is fit to stand trial.
The 2000 bombing in Yemen killed 17 crew members and wounded 37.
The Associated Press watched the hearing via closed circuit at Fort Meade.

Today's highly mobile workforce requires fast laptop connectivity, instant access to business data, smooth multi-tasking and batteries that won't quit. Reliability and risk go hand in hand. Users in remote locations or just down the corridor need the ability to work longer, with less interruption. Service and product support businesses are looking to IT strategies and new technologies to satisfy customers and protect profit margins. Companies that upgrade to more reliable solid-state drives not only extend the life of existing systems, but can also focus resources on other mission-critical projects.
Creating more value introduces more variables
Faced with declining market share in traditional service areas, companies look to remote and specialized markets to create shareholder value. Vala Afshar, Chief Marketing Officer at Extreme Networks observes "...industry and company structures and the very nature of work needs to transform to meet consumer expectations."1 Closer to home, the more that laptops and other mobile devices used to create new efficiency and value, move around a corporate campus or across a diverse geographic area, the more likelihood that harsh or unpredictable environments exist to threaten the devices.
Downtime not acceptable
Standard business hours no longer exist in competitive, always-on markets. Customers expect responsiveness and will post complaints about service delays immediately on social media if brands don't deliver. Key performance indicators and profitability based on response time, as well as service level agreements, raise the stakes. Consider the impact of a five-minute lapse for a claims adjuster or field technician because of a failed hard drive.
We would expect that laptop efficiency would solve these new challenges and expectations for uptime, but supporting those laptops has become more complex and expensive. According to a 2014 Macquarie Equipment Finance study, "Day-extender notebooks are currently 10% to 12% more expensive to support... a traveling-worker notebook TCO is 18% to 19% more expensive to support than desktops."2 Replacing laptops with tablets will eventually be a good solution, but right now it's simply not viable. They are companion devices at best.
Downtime can be costly, especially for companies with aging systems with multiple, mobile components. While some risks are beyond mitigation, such as weather and natural disasters, power grid and network failure, a well-targeted technology upgrade can help.
Ravi Annavajjahala, Director of Business Development at SanDisk® observes, "Many companies today are still stuck on legacy PCs that are slow, out-of-date and require constant maintenance. We realized the need to make it easy for companies to upgrade to more reliable flash-based drives, and through our STAR program we help them not only extend the life of existing systems, but also spend time on other mission-critical projects by deferring the costs of new PCs, with practically no downtime."
Unpredictable environments
The cumulative effects of removing a laptop from the controlled environment of a desk or docking station increases the risk of damage to a laptop's hard drive. It doesn't matter if that move is across a corporate campus, taking the laptop home or to an exotic location or leaving it in a trunk on a hot day.
Also, laptops deployed in remote locations are subject to temperature extremes and humidity, as well as higher levels of shock and vibration due to usage and travel conditions when the useris dependent on public transportation or off-the-road access. Over time, the risk of failure rapidly increases the chances of a wasted afternoon trying to fix an old machine, access a critical document or being paralyzed when traveling.
Hard drives have a built-in risk for failure — they simply weren't designed to be mobile. They are thick and heavy and typically have two motors, which add to the weight and size of the laptop. A hard drive generates a substantial amount of noise and heat, affecting battery life. Moving parts make the hard drive prone to breakdowns and crashes, causing lost productivity and possible data loss.
With no moving parts, solid state drives can withstand jarring movements, dramatically enhancing laptop reliability.
Reliability and productivity
When you have higher demands, you need the lowest possible failure rates. Based on survey data from PC Magazine, hardware failure rates haven't changed much, and in fact they may have actually gotten worse.3
As the mobile workforce grows and becomes isolated from local IT resources, reducing the frequency of hardware-related service tickets and dependency on help desks is critical to the success of a business. Not only does this make the mobile workforce more responsive and productive, but the company is able to reduce IT labor costs associated with evaluating and repairing non-functioning devices, or recovering lost data.
The mobile workforce is not only growing, it's tasked to operate in increasingly remote locations in search of new markets and higher margin opportunities. These corporate initiatives still depend to a great degree on the issuing of laptop devices, meaning an increased risk of mechanical failure paired with reduced access to technical support.
Therefore, a higher importance should be placed on IT infrastructure for reducing business risk and improving business continuity. Remote locations with harsher environments can be served more consistently and confidently when reliable solid state drives are deployed in laptops in place of hard drives.

Durum Wheat & Rye Create High Acetic Acid Content
After a series of experiments I've come to a partial conclusion that rye and durum wheat both create high acidity starters that impart the sour tang to the finished bread. Wholewheat, AP, Hard Red Winter and Spring do not produce high acidity from my refrigerated low hydration starter.
Starter conditions:
- High hydration - 100% Flour 100% Water
- Culture innoculant - 20% refrigerated firm starter
- Fermenting Temp - 74 dF
- Length of Ferment - 18/24 hours
There isn't any flour quality or type dependency other than it be rye or of duram [semolina] wheat.
I've looked at a lot of the literature and searched this site, which has now begun to show up on the front of the list on Google searches by the way, with no results. My thesis at this point is that there is a component [or components] in both rye and durum that enhance the increased acetic acid growth in the culture.
One other observation point - the levaining action seems to be suppressed by the souring requiring long periods for proofing.

Getting A Famous Bass Tone
Getting A Famous Bass Tone
Nate Mendel - The Foo Fighters
Mikey Way - My Chemical Romance
Glenn Hughes - Deep Purple, Black Country CommunionHe's played alongside many great axemen, including Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Tony Iommi and Joe Bonamassa bringing his distinctive brand of rhythm and colossal tone. Glenn has gone through quite a few basses but it's the Precision he keeps coming back to. In terms of amps he's recently converted to Orange, telling Music Radar recently...
"I took a P Bass off the wall and plugged it into this AD200 Bass MK III and within five seconds I had what I consider to be that Glenn Hughes sound I had in 1970."- Glenn Hughes
Troy Sanders - Mastodon
Troy's soon to join the Fender signature bass club, with a Jaguar inspired guitar apparently in the works. For the back line Mastodon have been all over Orange amps lately and Troy is running a split into both an AD200 Bass MKIII and a TC Electronic Blacksmith. We'd speculate that running both solid state and valve amps allows Troy to get a great blend of valve dirt with rock solid attack, definition and low end. We've covered Troy's pedal's before and if you're after that a great TC sound we'd also recommend their RH750 head and Rebelstack cab, the Blacksmith is only made in limited quantities.
Billy Sheehan
Billy has recently put his name to a signature pedal from EBS, the perfect toolbox for getting a great bass drive with wet & drive levels, FX loop for further blending and built in compressor too. So from one pedal you can control your drive level, blend, tonality and dynamic before you hit the amp. He's also recently been saying great things about touring with his favoured Hartke amps, stating to Music Radar...
"Somebody not only knows what they're doing but somebody cares" - Billy Sheehan

A casserole that is certain to perk up a routine taco night and make it extra special! The 'lasagna' is made by layering seasoned taco meat in a baking pan between corn tortillas with black beans, corn, cheddar cheese and taco sauce, then baked off. The result is a hearty and rustic dish reminiscent of a taco. Only better.
The recipe is versatile and highly adaptable to any changes you make. Don't hesitate to make it your own. You can easily swap out the beans for another kind like pinto or make it vegetarian by doubling up on them and leaving out the meat. A layer of refried beans would be a nice, creamy addition too. Personalize it the way you would your taco. I've made it many times before, each time different, but every time a winner! It's virtually fail-proof. And will please even the most finicky of eaters.
Taco Lasagna
(by Reeni) (serves 4-6)
1 + 1/4 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 yellow onion, diced
1 envelope taco seasoning or my seasoning mix (recipe to follow)
2/3 cup water
9 corn tortillas
2/3 cup taco sauce or 1 cup salsa
1 – 14 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn, thawed if frozen
1 + 1/2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 large tomatoes, sliced, seeds removed
taco fixings like lettuce, sour cream, avocado and/or quacamole for serving
1. In a large skillet brown ground beef with onion, drain grease and add taco seasoning with 2/3 cup water. Cook over medium-low heat about 5-6 minutes or until most of the water is cooked off.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 8×8 deep-sided casserole or baking pan.
3. Add a light layer of the salsa/taco sauce to the bottom of the pan then double line the bottom with 3-5 tortillas, cutting them up to cover the gaps. Spoon on half of the taco meat in an even layer, drop on half of the taco sauce by spoonfuls, top with half of the beans, half of the corn and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Cover with a single layer of tortillas and layer all ingredients again ending with a top layer of tortillas, sprinkle remaining cheese and then a layer of tomatoes.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let set for five minutes. Serve with taco fixings.
Taco Seasoning
(by Reeni)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
red pepper, optional, according to your own taste)
3/4 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

[Deviant Ollam], lockpicker and beverage cooling contest host, was recently in Vienna, presumably for DeepSec. While there, he stopped by the Metalab hackerspace and checked out their RepRap rapid prototyping machine. You can see video of his visit above. He had them construct a custom fitted cover for the flash of his point and shoot camera. That's what we love about rapid prototyping. Many of the projects we cover here solve a particular problem, but would never be considered commercially viable enough to put into production. With the availability of rapid prototyping increasing, hackers can start moving toward producing even more complex objects specific to their needs with a finish closer to commercial products.
11 thoughts on "Case prototyping"
i'm still freaked out by the accuracy of that thing, considering the fact it's hot glue. just awesome.
Although the "hot glue" analogy is often used to describe the concept of rapid prototyping, this is not actually hot glue, but ABS plastic.
Wow that looked like great fun!
I love the sample box too! Wow, great examples of what it can do!
Is this really a 'reprap'? This seems to produce much better results than other repraps, and the hardware is obviously of a different design.
Is that Ah-nold?
"Rapid" prototyping?
LOL, good it was such a small part, or he would have to have extended his visit for a few days ;-)
But cool it is.
Yeah that looked so much better than other repraps, looks like something very different! I want one!!
What's the cad s/w on the mac?
And is the mac running the cam as well?
Hmm. not exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks Mr. Garrison.
Some info:
o The CAD software is Art of Illusion (http://artofillusion.org).
o The machine is a RepRap extruder head mounted on a CNC machine.
o The printing quality of current RepRaps should be comparable. Building one is our next step.
o The machine, including the CNC, is controlled using only the RepRap software. In the video, I think it runs off the Mac.
o It's still a bit slow. Speed is a secondary goal atm.
o More info about this machine can be found on http://reprap.soup.io

– Fans who follow Shawn Michaels online know he's a big fan of the Criminal Minds TV show. Here's a photo of Michaels and Criminal Minds actor Joe Mantegna with Keith Mark filming for HBK's hunting show earlier this week:
– After last night's WWE NXT TV tapings ended, Ryback came out and cut a promo. He talked about how great NXT was and got the fans to chant "Feed Me More" before ripping into them with a heel promo. Ryback promised he would be WWE Champion after Payback and talked about John Cena. Ryback issued an open challenge that was answered by Colin Cassady and Enzo Amore.
They cut babyface promos and cracked jokes on Ryback. Ryback ended up hitting Shellshocked on Cassady while Amore ran away to end the show.

Normally, you'd hear me rant about how the sentence doesn't fit the crime, how big content is evil and eats babies, how Obama is totally in the RIAA's pocket, and how we should all stick it to the man by, uh, yeah, how exactly? I honestly actually don't know (shhh, don't tell anyone).
Not in this case, however. To me, there's a massive and crucial difference between individual folk downloading some music, a few films, and some games - and professional pirates who earn massive boatloads of money by turning their piracy into a business. You know, the folks actually selling pirated copies of films, games, and so on.
Bi falls in the latter category. He turned piracy into a business, selling boatloads of pirated games on eBay. He earned USD 367669 with his little business, and got caught by, well, being an idiot - he emailed a spreadsheet detailing his piracy business to his work email address. The FBI's Cybercrime Task Force and US Postal Inspectors took it from there, leading to his arrest.
He has been sentenced to two and half years in jail, 416 hours of community service, and has to pay a not yet determined restitution amount. He also forfeited the proceeds of the crimes, his house, a car, and computer and electronic equipment.
"I believe at your core you are a good person," Judge Algenon L. Marbley told Bi, "You made a gross error in judgment [...] And it seemed all motivated by greed." Bi promised to "be a better person" and "never commit another crime".
Now, this is the kind of piracy authorities should work to combat, with the aid of industry bodies. I'm not sure if the punishment fits the crime here, but that he ought to be punished, that much is clear.

GE in Texas wind farm deal
July 8, 2014 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
General Electric's Energy Financial Services unit and E.ON Climate and Renewables North America are forming an investment partnership to own and operate a Texas wind farm.
The GE subsidiary provided half of the partnership equity in The Grandview Phase I, a 211-megawattt GE-powered wind farm under construction in the Texas Panhandle.
"Working with such strong partners like GE on the front end is a new effort for E.ON and one that will pay dividends as we bring our 19th wind farm in the United States online," said Patrick Woodson, CEO of ECR North America. "This is our most energetic project ever built and we are excited to harvest the extraordinary wind resource in this area."
Grandview I will be located 26 miles east of Amarillo in Carson County and will use 118 GE wind turbines, which GE will service under a five-year agreement. ECRNA, a power and gas company, will manage construction of the wind farm and provide operations and maintenance once it becomes operable in December.
The wind farm will feed power into the new Competitive Renewable Energy Zones infrastructure in Texas.
"The Grandview I wind farm will generate enough electricity to power approximately 64,000 homes — according to US Energy Environmental Protection Agency methodology — avoiding approximately 482,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, the equivalent of the annual emissions from approximately 100,000 U.S. passenger vehicles," according to a press release.
"Combining investment and technology for the Grandview wind project builds on our long-term relationship with ECRNA and supports the growth of this important customer and GE," said David Nason, president and CEO of GE Energy Financial Services, which holds a portfolio of approximately 12 gigawatts of wind power projects in operation or under construction.
The project will create about 250-300 construction jobs this year and 10-12 permanent positions in Carson County.

Here's a quiz: What are the 5 most censored, secretive, authoritarian governments in the world? North Korea makes everyone's list. Equatorial Guinea, Burma, Libya and… can you guess? Try Turkmenistan, an obscure, doubly land-locked, oil and gas-rich former Soviet Republic cradled gently between Afghanistan, Iran and Uzbekistan.
Turkmen anchormen on the State's one TV station repeat a pledge on-air daily wishing that their tongues shrivel if ever they slander their homeland. All foreign journalists are banned. So because no journalist can, let me tell you what I saw in Turkmenistan this month.
Thanks to Tukmenistan's legendary beaurocracy it took 4 hours to walk just 500 feet from Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan, across triple moats lined with a razor wire-topped fence. But honestly, the machine gun-toting guards dozing at their posts in the 100 degree heat, evoked more sympathy than fear.
Most Turkmen live in flat-roofed adobe-style houses, farming or herding goats. Turkmen women plow fields, walk to school, or sell camels at the Sunday Market, wearing elegant, colorful, traditional floor-length gowns. Scarves are optional. They say this beautiful dress is not mandatory—except for school girls—simply that it was the will of the first post-Soviet leader Turkmenbashi the Great. While Turkmen women seem more liberated than those in neighboring Iran or Afghanistan, brides are nonetheless forbidden to speak to their husbands or in-laws for forty days after marriage. The in-laws decide when a wife may speak—if ever. Now that's censorship!
In Turkmenistan, remnants of ancient Zoroastrian culture are as evident as those of Islamic invasions and Soviet domination. The Soviets precipitously withdrew in 1991—leaving a taste for vodka and totalitarianism. It was then that Turkmenbashi the Great began styling himself the "Father of all Turkmen", declared neutrality and banned all foreign journalists. He decreed that all buildings in the capitol, Ashgabat, be white marble (a stone not available in Turkmenistan) and erected multiple gold-covered statues of himself—the most notorious of which rotates, always facing the Sun. Turkmenbashi's book, the Ruhnama, is required reading that forms the basic knowledge required of each Turkmen citizen. Ashgabat is a 3-D Potemkin village, part Dubai, part lost Vegas, but eerily quiet—perfect and empty. The people are quiet too, convinced that every room in it is bugged.
For the record, Turkmenbashi died in 2006 and Turkmenistan is now ruled by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, Turmenbashi's dentist.
I hear Katie Couric uses the mnemonic "I'm a dinner jacket" to pronounce the President of Iran's tongue-twister name. Good thing for Katie, Turkmenistan's president wants his name to remain a secret!

Bringing Mago Point back to life is a priority for Waterford this year
Waterford - The small tract of land just above where the Niantic River meets the Niantic Bay has been called "the lost jewel of the town" by local business owners, but it has been on the decline for more than 20 years. On Tuesday, First Selectman Daniel Steward announced a new interest in reinvigorating the oft-forgotten Mago Point waterfront area.
At a breakfast hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut, Steward updated the business community on the state of Waterford and laid out the town's agenda for the year, including the desire to revitalize Mago Point.
"We will be meeting with members of the business association down there to ask, 'What do you really want to do and how can we help you do it without stepping on anyone's toes?'" Steward said. "The concept for Mago Point is there. We see (Mago Point) there, we know it's there, but we haven't had the opportunity to make it something that is vital yet."
The area, which sits in the shadow of the Route 156 Niantic River bridge, has "truly gone downhill" because it "has been very poorly dealt with over the years," Steward said. When the bridge opened more than two decades ago, the traffic that once flowed through Mago Point was diverted up and over the area. Soon thereafter, many of the point's motels, nightclubs, restaurants and other businesses closed up shop.
"Ever since 1991, when they put in the new highway bridge, everybody just drives by us," said Elizabeth Berner, who owns Captain John's Sport Fishing Center in Mago Point with her husband, Robert. "We've been working diligently with the town of Waterford to try to get us back on the map."
Today, Mago Point is home to about a dozen businesses, including restaurants, a bait shop, charter fishing outfits and a package store. As drivers cross the bridge, it is easy for them to see Mago Point, but not as easy to get there. In wintertime, the area is largely desolate. But each summer, it revives as boaters, diners and fishermen flock to the area.
"We're trying to develop that into a community, much like a Watch Hill would be, where you have nice stores, nice places to go, restaurants, a banquet hall," Steward said. "It's a rebirth and redevelopment down there."
Berner said the Mago Point Business Association - of which she is a member - has discussed the possibilities of adding a bicycle path through the point, finding more parking spaces for the businesses and constructing a boardwalk similar to the one just across the river in Niantic.
"We want to clean up the place, help landscape it a little better and drive some tourism down that way," Berner said. "We're kind of like the lost jewel of the town. We're really the best hidden jewel in Connecticut."
Though the revitalization plan is still in the planning stages, Steward said, the town has been in talks with the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection about leasing or purchasing the boat launch parking lot in the middle of the point. The town could also apply for grants for businesses to improve their facades and others for improving street landscaping in the area.
Steward's address at the Great Neck Country Club Tuesday morning served equally as a retrospective on the last year, an update on a number of ongoing projects in town and a preview.
"Waterford is doing well," Steward told the crowd of about 50 people.
The first selectman also cited Charter Oak Federal Credit Union's nearly completed $18 million headquarters at the corner of Route 85 and Industrial Drive, and the building project that will allow the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center to double its National Theater Institute program, as signs of the town's health.
"Given the state of our economy and the great volume that we hear of bad news in the country," he said, "we are still seeing some positive signs in our community."

At the Branch Freeze event, all packages are branched from
master in source control. This is to allow the branched tree to stabilize and enter a bug-fix and polish phase of development. Builds from the branch that are deemed stable will be published into their own repo on the mirrors beside rawhide. Builds from
master will continue to be published to the rawhide repo and is open for changes targeting the Fedora release after the one just branched.
The Branch Freeze lasts until the branched Fedora is released. At that time the normal package update process takes over.
For each release phase after branching - Alpha, Beta, and Final - there is a further, short freeze marked on the schedule as the Change Deadline. Between this point and the relevant release, builds can be submitted to
updates-testing according to this policy, but most builds will not be moved from there to stable until the freeze is over. Note the freeze lifts once the decision to release is made, i.e. usually a few days before the scheduled release date. Only builds that fix blocker or NTH (Nice-To-Have) bugs can be moved to stable during these harder freezes. The QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and the QA:SOP_nth_bug_process explain how blocker and NTH bugs are defined, nominated and evaluated: if you believe an update for a package of yours should be pushed to stable after a Change Deadline, please follow one of these processes.
The purpose of the Branch Freeze is not to strangle changes, the purpose is to provide a facility to test changes before they are pushed to stable and allow more meaningful decisions to be made about the risk/reward of the changes.
Getting a build marked Stable
In order for a build from the branch to be deemed stable, it will have to pass through Bodhi. This process is much like the process of submitting updates to an already released Fedora. Builds that are submitted for testing for the branched Fedora will be published to an
updates-testing repo where they can be reviewed and tested by peers. Feedback will be made via bodhi karma and/or bugzilla bugs. Once a maintainer feels their build has received enough feedback and testing, the build can be pushed to stable, where it will be published to the branched Fedora repo and will be considered "in the release". Packages can be pushed to stable once they fulfil update criteria. The maintainer can specify a positive karma threshold for automatic pushing if desired: once the package reaches this threshold, as long as the minimum requirements under the Updates_Policy are also met, the package will be automatically pushed stable.
Critical Path Packages
Packages which are in the Critical Path broadly follow the same process, but have stricter minimum requirements, as stated in the Updates policy.
New Packages
New packages can still be reviewed, added in source control and built. In order to get them into the stable branched repo, they will need to go through bodhi as outlined above.
Getting a build past the Freeze
If you believe there is a good reason for you to break the branch freeze, you must request an update in bodhi.
- Build and test your package before submitting anything.
- Submit the update request by following Package Update HOWTO. Please include the following details in the bodhi update information:
- A description of the change
- Rationale for why the change is important enough to be allowed in after the freeze
- Any bugs related to the change
Once you've submitted the update and requested a push to
updates-testing, your build will be published at the next updates push and made available in
updates-testing for the branched Fedora.
Note that while we use the same tool (bodhi) for filing updates before and after the final release, the strategies for updates should be a bit different:
- Before the release, it has a lot of advantages to file individual updates for each bug-fix, to make it easier to verify fixes and track regressions
- After the release, we generally prefer to bundle multiple fixes into a single update to avoid flooding our users with a constant stream of updates, and also to allow some time to test the updates before they are released
Evaluating requests for exception
The consumers of updates-testing for the branched Fedora will evaluate your update and provide feedback.
- Approval comes in the form of positive karma in bodhi.
- 3 or more net positive karma is generally desired before pushing to stable.
- If your package is in the Critical Path 1 net positive karma from Proven Testers plus an additional net positive karma from anybody is required
- If there is negative feedback, work with the tester and a new build may be needed.
If your update is accepted and you request a push to stable, your package will be tagged for inclusion the branched release.
If your update is withdrawn, your package will not appear in the branched release.

Berry College is expanding its education offerings option if you are interested in earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Currently Berry's dual-degree nursing program is a combined five-year academic program that results in a Bachelor of Science degree from Berry College and a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University in Atlanta.
Beginning in Fall 2012 students can enroll in the core courses that are required for the nursing program. The program is designed so students will complete all courses, both the core classes and nursing classes, in four years. The first nursing courses began in Fall 2013. Updates will be posted on the Berry web page as the program development progresses. The Georgia Board of Nursing granted developmental approval of the program in May 2012, and must approve the program start date.
The Berry College Division of Nursing curriculum will be uniquely futuristic, as it prepares nurses to work in an increasingly complex and ambiguous world. Overall aim of the new baccalaureate program will be to prepare nurses who have the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to improve the quality and safety of the health care systems.
The Berry College nursing program is built on a strong liberal arts and science foundation that provides the advanced analytical, communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills needed by nurses to negotiate, improve, and effectively manage our increasingly complex health care system. The nursing curriculum will follow the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses initiative by incorporating quality and safety competencies into the curriculum framework. The six competencies are patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teamwork and collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement,and safety and informatics.
In addition to preparing a nurse for quality safe practice, the educational experience of Berry nursing students will include preparing graduates for service, leadership, and patient centered care that exemplifies the interdenominational Christian values of Berry College. Nurses of the future must be prepared to look beyond the acute health care environment and traditional roles of the nurse. Special emphasis for the BSN program will include healthcare informatics, healthcare economy, gerontology, cancer care, cultural diversity, spiritual dimensions, and community health promotion. Nursing students will participate in a short-term local or global health care mission before their senior year, where they will continue the Martha Berry tradition of the "head, heart and hands" approach to education.
Rome, GA, has two regional hospitals, Redmond Regional Medical Center and Floyd Medical Center, and medical offices such as Harbin Clinic, which participate in shadowing opportunities for students. Berry's vibrant student Work Experience Program offers more than 300 different types of on-campus jobs, including many in the sciences.
Yes, it is a five-year program. You will spend three years at Berry completing 93 semester hours of general education requirements and nursing school pre-requisites. Then you'll apply for admission to Emory's nursing program. When you are accepted, you will transfer to Emory for two years of professional study.

KABUL, Afghanistan A search is under way in southern Afghanistan for a soldier from the NATO-led coalition, believed to be the first to have disappeared since a U.S. Army sergeant was captured by the Taliban more than three years ago, a military spokesman said Friday.
U.S. Army Maj. Martyn Crighton said the soldier was among the 1,560 troops from the former Soviet republic of Georgia serving in the country.
A statement from Georgia's Defense Ministry on Thursday said an intense "search and rescue" operation was being mounted in Helmand and Nimroz provinces, describing the soldier as a military officer who disappeared Wednesday.
The last known coalition soldier to disappear was U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, 26, who was taken prisoner on June 30, 2009, in Paktika province in southeastern Afghanistan.
Bergdahl, who turned 26 in captivity March 28, was the subject of a proposed prisoner swap in which the Obama administration was considering the transfer of five Taliban prisoners long held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Qatar.

Lots of people are talking about XML and its potential applications, but where does XML really fit with SQL Server and other business systems? We have plenty of new technologies to learn and business problems to solve without implementing XML just because "everybody's doing it." The exciting news is that we have plenty of good business reasons for using XML. Here are two practical applications you can implement right away.
The first application is for error handling. You often build error handling as a generic component that you can wire into any application at development time. But what happens when one of your applications needs data in a different format than another application? XML provides an easy solution. Just create a column in the database table to hold the data as XML, then feed the XML in the format each application needs. This approach gives you flexibility while letting you use the same structure for all applications. However, the technique does add another layer to your applications, requiring an XML filter to read the data from the table.
The second application is for storing session data. If you use Active Server Pages (ASP) applications to store session data in SQL Server, the database table's structure must support the session data. However, session needs can change frequently as you develop and enhance an application. By storing session data as XML, you can modify the type and amount of session data stored for each application or each part of an application. Just key the session records with a globally unique ID (GUID). (For tips about using GUIDs, see SQL Server Secrets, "Using SQL Server's GUID Feature," SQL Server Magazine UPDATE, March 23.)
XML provides practical solutions for many other application needs, including communication and data conversion between dissimilar applications. To learn more about using XML with SQL Server, stay tuned to this column and make sure you subscribe to the new SQL Server Magazine XML UPDATE at http://www.win2000mag.com/sub.cfm?code=up00sqlxml.

Thomas Peter Lantos (February 1, 1928 – February 11, 2008) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from 1981 until his death, representing the northern two-thirds of San Mateo County and a portion of southwest San Francisco. Lantos had announced in early January 2008 that he would not run for reelection because of cancer of the esophagus, but died before finishing his term. Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor to have served in the United States Congress.
Born as Lantos Tamás Péter (Hungarian pronunciation: ) to a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary, Lantos was part of a resistance movement against the Nazis during the German occupation of Hungary. In his floor speeches, he sometimes referred to himself as one of the few living members of Congress who had fought against fascism.
He sought refuge in a safe house established by Raoul Wallenberg. He moved to the United States in 1947, and though he became fluent in English, he retained a marked Hungarian accent for the rest of his life. In 1981, Lantos sponsored a bill making Wallenberg an Honorary Citizen of the United States.
