For those that have not heard about the "Azure" platform, Windows Azure is a cloud based operating system that offers software as services - .NET Services, Live Services and SQL Azure.
SQL Azure, formerly SDS - SQL Data Services, is a cloud based version of on-premise SQL Server, albeit with a few limitations. The benefits are enterprise level availability, scalability and built-in disaster recovery.

Zach Owens, who is a Microsoft Technical Evangelist has blogged about SQL Azure extensively. Check them out here: http://english.zachskylesowens.net/. He has also published a Windows Azure training kit with demo on SQL Azure.

Feel free to post any questions you may have on SQL Azure and I will try to answer as best as I can.
Sometimes we need to pass an array to the Stored Procrdure and split the array inside the stored proc. For example, lets say there is a datagrid displaying sales orders, each sales order associated with an orderid (PK in the Sales table). If the user needs to delete a bunch of sales orders ( say 10-15 etc)..it would be easier to concatenate all the orderid's into one string like 10-24-23-34-56-57-....etc and pass it to the sql server stored proc and inside the stored proc, split the string into individual ids and delete each sales order.
There can be plenty of other situations where passing a delimited string to the stored proc is faster than making n number of trips to the server.
CREATE PROCEDURE ParseArray (@Array VARCHAR(1000),@separator CHAR(1))
-- @Array is the array we wish to parse
-- @Separator is the separator charactor such as a comma
DECLARE @separator_position INT -- This is used to locate each separator character
DECLARE @array_value VARCHAR(1000) -- this holds each array value as it is returned
-- For my loop to work I need an extra separator at the end. I always look to the
-- left of the separator character for each array value
SET @array = @array + @separator
-- Loop through the string searching for separtor characters
WHILE PATINDEX('%' + @separator + '%', @array) <> 0
-- patindex matches the a pattern against a string
SELECT @separator_position = PATINDEX('%' + @separator + '%',@array)
SELECT @array_value = LEFT(@array, @separator_position - 1)
-- This is where you process the values passed.
-- Replace this select statement with your processing
-- @array_value holds the value of this element of the array
SELECT Array_Value = @array_value
-- This replaces what we just processed with and empty string
SELECT @array = STUFF(@array, 1, @separator_position, '')

THE proudest moment in the career of this reporter was being called a f—wit by Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon at an investor presentation a few years back. Sadly, we were not there to enjoy this panegyric firsthand. Being called a f—wit by Geoff is the highest commendation. There is no more ringing endorsement of one's professionalism than to be ennobled as a f—wit by Geoff.
Geoff had been responding to questions about a story that showed some 20 per cent of Qantas's bottom-line profit was in fact capitalised expenses on software and the like – smoke and mirrors, if you like.
Anyway, Geoff is rather fortunate that the leveraged buyout he cooked up for Qantas – in league with Macquarie and Allco – fell at the final hurdle.
Strapping on $10 billion in "covenant lite" debt at the cusp of the credit meltdown in 2007, and plonking in the soon-to-croak Allco as cornerstone shareholder, would have seen the national carrier back in national hands in very short order.
Mind you, although Geoff's $11 billion bid with $10 billion in debt might have been a dodgy deal for government, the airline, employees and taxpayers, it was a ripper for shareholders.
Pitched at $5.45 a share – compared with the $1.35 share price now – it would have prevailed had it not been for one US hedge fund manager who suspected Macquarie was trying to leg him over, and so refused to sell into the offer at the 11th hour.
Fast-forward five years, Geoff's mate and protege Alan Joyce has succeeded him at the helm of Qantas and this week came the dramatic news of the shattered friendship.
Alan is cross because Geoff has been niggling him. Geoff, you see, is tied up with an agitator's group that reckons it can drum up a takeover for the airline.
So Alan engaged the thermonuclear option. In a bid to flush Geoff out, he pulled Qantas' and Jetstar's $40 million in funding for Tourism Australia. Geoff is chairman of Tourism Australia.
Alan had invoked the thermonuclear option in his brawl with the unions last year. He grounded the airline. And it worked.
This time, it looks petulant. It takes Geoff and his mates Singo, Mark Carnegie and Peter Gregg too seriously. The lads are pretty good at getting yarns in the press mooting what they might do if they had a lazy $3 billion. That's a far cry from a credible offer for the national carrier.
Singo and Carnegie are linked to every second deal in town. Carnegie is particularly ubiquitous, having just turned up as a dissident in the Gold & Copper Resources claims against mining giant Newcrest. And only this week he jagged a bizarre proxy from Perpetual to do its agitating in the Brickworks kerfuffle.
Gregg is the former Qantas CFO and more recently the finance man at Leighton Holdings. Between them, they speak for 1.5 per cent of the stock.
Joyce has moved to flush them out, but really this is an agitators' game, a slow burn. The aim is to build a credible Qantas alternative management and garner the support of the institutions.
The moral of the story is that there will be many more agitators' plays such as these. Deal volumes are down, debt and equity finance is scarce and there are a lot of old rich blokes about who can't stand the thought of retirement.
BACK in the day, they didn't put up with this nonsense! Bring back the good old State Electricity Commission!
Those balding, be-cardiganed bureaucrats would never have allowed price rises of 5 per cent, let alone 17 per cent a year!
Not when they had to trudge up to parliament and explain themselves. Not on your nelly.
Back in the day there was accountability! But what did they do? They blew up that old State Electricity Commission – to smithereens.
Now we've got generators, retailers, regulators, distributors, transmission providers; corporate empires everywhere, teeming with fat cats, each with their own board, their HR, their PR, their lobbyists, their consultants.
And they call that progress!
If that lot went up to Senate estimates to explain why prices rose 100 per cent in five years, it would be busier than Tahrir Square in Cairo. They'd have to break out the tear-gas just to stop them blaming each other.
Back in the day they didn't have lobbyists, they had tea ladies. Back in the day – before they corporatised, incentivised, privatised, capitalised, computerised, demergerised and rationalised – there was common sense!
Back in the day, banks didn't rob people, people robbed banks. Back in the day, before they gave people Clean Energy Payments to spend on the pokies, they didn't have water coolers, they had a sink!
Back in the day, they were called merchant bankers, not investment bankers. And nobody had even dreamed of an automated voice message that said: "Your call is important to us."
And now we have smart meters! Say no more.

Injured Nashua baby is improving as investigation continuesBy Kimberly Houghton,
Union Leader Correspondent
February 07. 2014 1:51PM
NASHUA - While city police continue to investigate how a 1-year-old child ended up in critical condition on Wednesday, authorities say the baby's health is improving and that the Division of Children Youth and Families is involved in the case.
"I do have an update, which is good news. The child's condition has been upgraded," said Lt. Francis Sullivan of the Nashua Police Department. "His condition was critical, and now it is stable, but guarded."
According to Sullivan, medical professionals at Elliot Hospital in Manchester are keeping a close watch on the 13-month-old boy who was initially taken to the emergency room at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua on Wednesday morning by a parent.
Although police are not elaborating on what type of injury or injuries the child has sustained, Sullivan said it was severe enough to warrant an investigation.
"I am not going to go into details about the child's injuries at this time. It is an open and active investigation," he said.
Sullivan would not elaborate on whether the injuries were old or new, nor would he comment on whether the baby's parents are cooperating with police.
The injuries reportedly occurred at an apartment at 54 Ash St. in Nashua. City assessing records indicate that the apartment building is owned by Jesus and Emerita Garcia.
Police say the case is still in the early stages, and that nothing has been ruled out as a possible cause of the child's condition -- including the possibility that his injuries may have been accidental.
However, Sullivan did confirm that DCYF has been involved in the matter since the start of the investigation. No other children are connected to the case, he added.
"It makes the investigation that much more difficult because the victim, who is a legitimate innocent victim and because of their age, cannot speak on their behalf. We have to speak for them," said Sullivan. "We are utilizing all of our resources, and detectives are working this case actively as we speak. There are a number of people we need to talk to."
Sullivan would not estimate when potential criminal charges - if any - could be brought against the person or people responsible for causing the child's injuries.
"The most important thing is that the child is doing much better," he said Friday afternoon.

Hi folks, a while back I customized my Puch: http://www.mopedriders.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13953
I've been fiddling with the original 14mm Bing, trying to find a good air/fuel mix. No matter what I try with jet sizes, and needle height, I'm just not getting much power.
What I've got is a 70cc kit on the E50 engine, and a slightly larger exhaust pipe. Looks like a stock pipe, but the header is larger than stock. I suspect this setup may need more air than the stock carb can provide.
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Dellorto 16.16 SHA, and a larger intake to fit. Anyone have opinions on this carb?
Seems like a lot of people use Dellortos on their E50s, and reviews I've read on this carb are pretty good.

Intelligent thermostats - the
tado° way
London, April 2nd 2014 - The UK becomes the epicentre of intelligent heating control. The U.S. leader Nest is just entering the British smart thermostat market where it meets for the first time competitors like the European market leader
The majority of energy consumed in the domestic sector is for heating. The systems used for this are controlled by unintelligent technology that has been outdated for decades. Smart thermostats just start to conquer the still young home automation market.
One vision - different approaches
Intelligent thermostats help users to save energy and therefore money through a much smarter home heating system. At the same time they make everyday life easier and the user's home more comfortable. British Gas' hive focuses on a remote control enabling the customers to interact with their heating system via a smartphone, tablet or laptop. The U.S. company Nest with its learning thermostat goes one step further. It not only allows to control the heating system remotely but also learns the customers' habits in the first few days and builds a personalised schedule.

[Hook: Big KRIT & Ashton Jones]
Cause we could be kings and queens
And highs and lows and wires and vogues
And anything that goes
And together we, are closest
It was meant to be, you're chosen
The best, I know, I know
Cause we go good together baby
Cause we go good together baby
Cause we go good together baby
Cause we go good together baby
Cause we go good together
[Verse 1]
I'm talking early morning fresh
Get up, get out and get gone
Thank God for the sun and the chrome
That I pushed when we rolled
In that Brougham or Fleetwood 'Lac de Ville
Goosebumps trunk, yeah it gave ya chills
Popped up twice just to show your grill
Left the comfort of her home to roll with me
Cause she was searching for something real
I be that nigga, be that fresh
Leave that lame, be with a winner
Relieve that stress
Jump online, I free your mind
We don't need no dime, at least not mine
Spend this check
Buy that Benz or ride that Lex and drape our necks
Like kings and queens
Cause if you down to shine, I make love to your fertile mind
Till you conceive my dreams
[Verse 2]
Let me be your one stop shop
Fill you up when you on E
Pick you up when you want feet
Be your guide, I be your eyes
When you can't see, I be your air
When you can't breathe
I give you game but it ain't free
You gotta be down for the play
When we up, we can shine, but prepare for the grind
Cause the Lac could break down any day
Would you be willing to hit licks?
I ain't the type to boast and nitpick
But it takes some hard work to get rich
It's a small risk to rock the red bottoms and bop the fresh fits
What you want, what you need
Gotta have, when we shop, gotta grab
Never hear, put em back, in fact
Just be careful how you spend you cash
Just like highs and lows
Sub-woofers and vogues
We go good together, baby
We go good together, baby
Just like wires and vogues
Neon trunks and glow
We go good together, baby
We go good together, baby
Enjoy the fruits of your labor
The spoils of war
There's no harm in indulging
In the things that life has to offer
There comes a time in every king's life
Where the wine flows in abundance
And the tables are set
Feast and be thankful

This post was not written by a Nigerian prince.
SoundExchange, a nonprofit group that collects digital music royalties on behalf of artists, on Wednesday said that around 50,000 musicians have unclaimed money with the group totaling more than $31 million. The amounts range from $10 to $100,000 per artist or label, the group said.
Those who want to see if a check is waiting for them should visit SoundExchange and check the database.
Among the names listed are Mark Wahlberg's hip-hop band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, The Smith Westerns and Joaquin Phoenix. It's not just musicians who have money waiting for them. Sinbad, whose spoken word albums have been part of an increasingly popular comedy genre for Internet radio shows, is also on the list.
Created in 2000, SoundExchange collects performance royalties from digital radio companies offered by services such as Pandora, Clear Channel Communications' iHeartRadio and SiriusXM's satellite radio. Traditional AM and FM radio broadcasters are currently exempt from having to pay performance royalties, though artists and digital music companies are lobbying hard to change that.
The sums collected from online, cable and satellite radio are nothing to sneeze at. More than $1 billion has been paid out to artists and record labels over the years, the group announced in June.
The amount keeps going up as the number of Internet radio listeners continues to grow and as SoundExchange succeeds in recruiting more artists to come pick up their royalty checks. In the first quarter of this year, it paid out $108.6 million, the first time SoundExchange exceeded $100 million in payments in a three-month period.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two Chinese fishermen rescued from the Pacific are alert and trying to communicate after suffering second- and third-degree burns from an explosion on their vessel far off Mexico's coast, a San Diego surgeon said Tuesday, less than 24 hours after they were airlifted to California.
The men — who asked not to be identified — were in critical but stable condition and were being evaluated to see if they require surgery or can go home within the week, said Dr. Raul Coimbra, chief of trauma surgery at the regional burn center at the University of California, San Diego.
Doctors found no trauma injuries and the burns are not life-threatening, Coimbra said, adding that they cover the upper and lower extremities. One man is about 20 percent covered in burns, and the other is about 8 percent covered. He said the men, who are in their 30s, also suffered injuries from smoke inhalation.
The two were among 17 crew members believed aboard a Chinese fishing vessel that caught fire after an explosion and sank about 1,100 miles off Mexico's Baja peninsula. Two men died, six are missing and seven others were rescued in good condition. A Venezuelan fishing boat spotted a life raft carrying 11 Chinese crew members — including the two who later died — and the two injured men were hoisted from the vessel Monday.
They are doing remarkably well considering they spent days on a ship with their injuries, in pain and unable to get full treatment, Coimbra said.
"You can imagine the amount of traumatic stress that those individuals go through," Coimbra said. "They've been injured several days ago. They were in the ocean for several days. So obviously there is a high degree of stress and pain because those injuries went untreated for so many days, but as best as I can describe, they're alert, they're awake, they're trying to connect with us, and I think that they will do well here."
The Venezuelan boat picked up the 11 crew members and called for help Friday.
Responding to the call, airmen from the Air Force's 563rd Rescue Group parachuted into the water Saturday afternoon and used inflatable boats to reach the vessel.
Rescuers stabilized the burn victims before putting each into metal baskets Monday that were connected to two helicopters by a steel cable. Crews wrenched the baskets up to the flying aircraft, and rescuers loaded them on to the helicopters. They then flew to the closest Mexican city, Cabo San Lucas, where they were put on an aircraft and flown to Naval Station North Island in San Diego. They arrived around 7:30 p.m. Monday and were taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Pilots flew for nine hours over the Pacific Ocean to recover the fishermen.
Officials say they still do not know what happened on the Chinese boat to cause the explosion.
The two bodies of the fishermen who died and seven others in good condition were put on a Chinese-flagged vessel to be taken to China.
U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard officials said neither of their branches was searching for the six fishermen believed to be missing.

Trustees for Munroe Regional Medical Center admitted they are concerned about a recent "60 Minutes" segment that raised questions about the admission practices of one of the companies vying to take control of Munroe.
Trustees for Munroe Regional Medical Center admitted they are concerned about a recent "60 Minutes" segment that raised questions about the admission practices of one of the companies vying to take control of Munroe.
The segment, which aired on CBS last Sunday, questioned whether Health Management Associates, the nation's fourth largest private hospital chain, unnecessarily admitted emergency room patients to boost profits.
Some Hospital District trustees say the allegations by some of HMA's former employees that they were pressured to admit patients unnecessarily were too daunting to ignore. The U.S. Justice Department is currently investigating the company and HMA says that, although it denies the CBS news magazine's allegations, it's cooperating with the government's inquiries.
"It's going to be tough for HMA to overcome the bad publicity ... but I'll still have an open mind to both of (the health care companies)," said trustee Larry Strack.
On Monday, Munroe's Strategic Options Workgroup is meeting to continue reviewing offers from companies that are competing for the right to run Munroe. The hospital, a public facility owned by the people of Marion County, has been sliding toward red ink for years, so the trustees who oversee the hospital on behalf of the public are entertaining offers to turn over management to a private company.
HMA is one of those companies. Duke LifePoint Healthcare is the other.
But Strack said that given Sunday's "60 Minutes" program, HMA will be a focal point of the group's discussions.
"I have to take it into consideration," Strack said. "We're looking for what's best for the citizens of Marion County."
HMA's executive vice president for development, Peter Lawson, said that his company did nothing wrong and is offering its side of the story on its website HMA.com.
HMA has a partnership with Shands Hospital in its lease proposal and is offering between $440.2 million and $500.2 million to lease the hospital. Duke LifePoint Healthcare, a joint venture of Duke University Health System and LifePoint Hospitals, is offering $375 million for a 40-year lease.
The CBS program claimed that the pressure for HMA emergency rooms to admit patients was widespread throughout the company.
Strack said the allegations are serious but not surprising, as companies in many industries try to increase profits.
"You're going to have your share of bad actors. Some people get caught, some don't. Every company is pushing," Strack said.
Munroe is owned by the state-sanctioned Marion County Hospital District and the non-profit hospital is overseen by seven trustees who are appointed by the County Commission. The trustees currently lease the hospital to Munroe Regional Health System Inc., which is overseen by a 13-member board, some of whose members also are district trustees.
Hospital District trustee Dr. Mike Jordan described the "60 Minutes" allegations as "concerning, even a little distressing."
"This is the culture for for-profit hospitals," Jordan said.
Jordan said the allegations now call for a "deeper level of scrutiny" by the trustees into HMA.
Some trustees said that despite the television program, HMA/Shands should remain a viable option to lease Munroe. They said that, if nothing else, having two applicants will ensure that the Hospital District gets the best offers from the health care companies.
District trustee Joe Hanratty said he thought the allegations on the program should be taken with a grain of salt considering most of them were made by former employees now suing HMA for wrongful termination.
"I didn't see anything on the show that shocked my conscience," Hanratty said.
He said the program came off as biased and that without seeing documents the program said showed an organized effort to admit more patients, he would hold off reaching any conclusions.
Hanratty said the CBS program suggested that health care should not be profitable and was painting HMA in a bad light because it was making money from health care.
In its defense, HMA on its website said that the CBS program failed to "identify a single patient who had been inappropriately admitted from any of the company's emergency rooms, including by the physicians interviewed."
"Neither 60 Minutes nor the physicians interviewed identified any admission decision in which a physician's medical judgment was overridden by an HMA executive, much less to defraud Medicare," the website said.
The website said that HMA also gave "60 Minutes" data demonstrating that admissions rates from the company's emergency rooms "were in line with national norms" and consistent over a several-year period.
Lawson said he first learned of CBS' work on its story several months ago and immediately contacted Munroe administration and 20 other health care facilities HMA was considering leasing or buying to advise them of the potential nature of the news story.
Lawson said HMA had been transparent with the health care companies he's working with, and the company would make someone available if Marion County Hospital District members had questions.
He also said he hoped trustees — or anyone else with questions about the "60 Minutes" program — would read HMA's response on its website.
HMA owns or leases 70 hospitals, 22 of which are in Florida.
Lawson said although the CBS program will have some effect, hospital trustees will look for the best health care partner to help Munroe reach its goals.
"I predict it (the CBS program) is an element," Lawson said, but overall not a significant element in the (trustee) decision making."

Is MRS/IME still doing the anchor donation thing
Quote from: strandman on September 03, 2012, 05:38:25 pmIs MRS/IME still doing the anchor donation thing if someone wants to go out and replace these anchors, they can get them from the MRS.
You don't need permission to replace a shit anchor, just be sure replacement is necessary and be sure to install the bolts properly and use modern ring anchors so a tat situation isn't created.If you don't want to do it on your own dime, talk to Rick at IME.Anchor and cliff maintenance is a community effort, we're all responsible.
Regarding needing permission: We wouldn't normally seek it. However, Cathedral and Whitehorse tend to be somewhat special cases. I don't think I have to elaborate any more than saying it's probably best to have locals in agreement with a decision to replace bolts before commencing with the effort.

Categories: Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution Appellate Practice
Instructor(s) Coan, Andrew
Federal Jurisdiction is an advanced course in constitutional law focused on separation of powers and federalism as those structural features of the Constitution relate to the federal and state court systems. Topics covered include Standing, Ripeness, Mootness, the Political Question Doctrine, Supreme Court Review of State Court Decisions, State Sovereign Immunity, and Habeas Corpus. Students thinking of taking Federal Jurisdiction should understand that it does not overlap with Civil Procedure II (even though both satisfy the Jurisdiction of Courts requirement). CivPro2 covers personal and subject matter jurisdiction, venue, transfer, forum non conveniens, joinder, class actions, the preclusive effect of judgments, and the Erie doctrine--all important topics that every lawyer is expected to understand. It is helpful, though not required, to take CivPro2 before taking Federal Jurisdiction.

Why Choose a Naturepedic Product?
Simple. The health and safety of you and your child should not be negotiable.
Naturepedic products eliminate hazardous chemicals found in conventional mattresses while offering a more natural and non-toxic alternative for parents. In addition, Naturepedic does not sacrifice critical features and benefits such as waterproofing and a hypoallergenic design. With so many "organic/natural/eco" options available (cotton batting, soybean foam, coconut husks, natural latex/rubber, wool, etc.), it can be difficult to differentiate among the various offerings.
Naturepedic was founded by a quarter century environmental engineer familiar with hazardous chemicals. Through in-depth research, Naturepedic has identified and selected the most natural and non-toxic materials that make sense on a practical level. All Naturepedic products follow these principles and priorities:
Priority #1: No harmful chemicals.
Priority #2: No allergenic materials.
Priority #3: Natural, organic and renewable materials wherever possible.
Priority #4: Practical design (e.g. easy-to-clean waterproof cover).
Priority #5: Third party independent testing and verification.
Naturepedic backs up its product development with scientific data. In particular, Naturepedic products are regularly tested for chemical emissions and are certified by GREENGUARD to meet their strict standards for children.
Naturepedic understands the harm that can come from toxic chemicals and allergenic materials, and is dedicated to the continual development of innovative high quality products that eliminate these risks. Naturepedic carries the most awards and endorsements of any children's mattress company, as well as the best warranty in the industry.

A crash, a flight and a police assault lands Manchester man in cuffs
February 11. 2013 11:21AM
MANCHESTER - A city man is under arrest on a variety of charges, including assaulting a police officer, after he crashed into a utility pole Friday night on Beech Street and fled the scene, authorities said.
The crash happened about 11 p.m. just south of Cedar Street. Both the pole and the abandoned vehicle were heavily damaged.
A witness provided police with a description of two men seen leaving the crash site. A short time later, officers saw two men fitting the description in the area of Orange and Union streets. One of them was identified by police as Michael Grollimund, 23, of 125 Orange St., who officers said was under the influence of alcohol.
Officers struggled with Grollimund as they were arresting him but ultimately handcuffed him. While waiting for the transport van, police said Grollimund became agitated, and when Officer James Powers attempted to pull him up to a standing position, Grollimund kicked him in the chest. A second struggle took place and Grollimund complied with officers' orders only after he was pepper-sprayed, police said.
Grollimund is charged with conduct after an accident, OUIL, resisting arrest and simple assault. The probation department also put a hold on him for a probation violation.

On September 28, 1973, seventeen days after the bloody coup that brought Gen. Augusto Pinochet to power, two Chilean military officers approached the US Embassy with a request: The new regime required "advisor assistance from a person qualified in establishing a detention center for detainees which they anticipate will be retained over a relatively long period of time."
In a secret cable to Washington, Ambassador Nathaniel Davis noted that detailing a US adviser to assist the protracted imprisonment of civilians–more than 13,500 people had been detained for the crime of supporting the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende–"provides obvious political problems." However, he recommended, the State Department might "consider feasibility of material assistance in form of tents, blankets, etc. which need not be publicly and specifically earmarked for prisoners."
This cable was among some 5,800 US documents, many of them recording Washington's casual attitude toward the repression after the coup, declassified by the Clinton Administration on June 30 in response to pressure from Congress, Pinochet's victims and human rights groups. Totaling over 20,000 pages, the release, "Human Rights in Chile–Tranche One," is the first of several on the long-hidden history of the United States and Chile.
The documents, the work of the special "Chile Declassification Project," constitute the first US government policy statement–however indirect–on Pinochet's fate. Detained last October in London, the 83-year-old former dictator remains under house arrest pending hearings on extradition to Spain. Pressed to abandon its "neutral" posture on Pinochet's prosecution for crimes against humanity, the Administration has decided, says one White House aide, to "declassify what we can so that we can say we did our share" [see Kornbluh, "Prisoner Pinochet," December 21, 1998].
Pinochet, God and DINA
In an unusual move, the Administration released the documents simultaneously in Washington and Santiago. While the documents are conspicuously lacking in information about the US role in helping Pinochet take and consolidate power, they are rich in detail about the inner workings of his bloody regime. Chileans, long misled by Pinochet's propaganda, will learn the secret history of their own country between 1973 and 1978. Their more immediate value, however, will be to empower Chile's human rights movement and provide concrete evidence for legal proceedings that are beginning to be brought in Santiago against former officials in the Pinochet regime.
The declassified State Department, CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency reports name names, places and events. One DIA analysis, titled "Covert Countersubversive Activities in Chile," reveals for example that the bombing of two houses in Santiago during the first week of November 1977 was the work of Chile's Army, Navy and Air Force intelligence services, not of the left, as the regime claimed at the time. The use of bombs, the DIA source explained, was "a conscious decision by the service intelligence chiefs that the best way to deal with the safe house problem is by blowing them up, if possible, with the terrorists present. Arrests and prosecutions would 'take months'; an explosion would produce speedy results."

Did you know just about anything is negotiable? From your salary to the new boots you've had your eye on at the mall, no dollar amount is set in stone—so says Stuart Diamond, author of "Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World" (Crown, $26).
But there's a right way and a wrong way to go about getting the deal you think you deserve. I chatted with Diamond about how to be a better negotiator.
Weigel: In your book, you say women are better negotiators. Why?
Diamond: Women are hardwired to be better negotiators because they are better listeners. You have to really listen to be good at this. You have to think about the other person's needs and bring a solution to the table. You won't know what they need if you don't ask and you don't listen.
You also have to make a connection with the person you are negotiating with and this means making it personal. Women do this naturally. They start talking and bonding much faster than men. On the other hand, women tend to be more emotional at times, and you have to leave the emotional piece out of negotiations. You can connect without getting too emotional.
Weigel: Can people afford to play hardball in this day and age?
Diamond: Not at all. You can do it for a short period of time, but it will lose its effect. If you come to a negotiation expecting a war, you will get one. And you will get less. Studies show that adversarial negotiators make about half as many deals as do more cooperative, problem-solving negotiators. Nobody responds well to threats.
Weigel: What about if things get heated? Should you walk out?
Diamond: Never walk out of a room unless someone's shooting at you!
Weigel: Is it OK to bluff?
Diamond: I never bluff in a negotiation. Never. This is manipulative, and they will likely find out. You want to do research on their standards. Know what their weaknesses are and offer a solution.
Weigel: You say certain companies offer discounts automatically, yet people just aren't aware of them. Can you explain?
Diamond: Several companies offer discounts for being frequent customers or for being members of different organizations. One of the first assignments I give my students at the Wharton Business School is to go out and get a deal. Whether it's with your phone company or at a clothing store. Reach out and make contact and see if you can make progress. Some people don't realize that if you pay something early, ask for a discount. My wife always pays our house repair bills on time, and because this is so rare, she gets a discount from the contractor. But never ask for a discount if you're in front of a group. Pull someone aside that you've established a relationship with and ask them privately. And don't ask for too much all at once. You will get more if you ease into these things.
Weigel: Is there a go-to phrase that you always use when negotiating?
Diamond: I will ask, "So for the people you like the most—what do you charge them?" Another one is, "What are some things that you've given to other people that I haven't thought to ask for?" This could work at the office or in the world. This not only breaks the ice, but lets them know that I know how things work. Gadhafi would leave Libya if we made a good proposal!

Got $18m to spare? That's the market capitalization of one of Silicon Valley's most glamorous companies this morning, after Silicon Graphics Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The size of SGI's debt - at $664m it's twice the value of its assets - is enough to deter all but the most determined bargain hunter. Apart from a ragbag of trademarks - such as OpenGL - what growth has SGI left to offer?

NVIDIA GTX 590 Review
When the Fermi architecture was first introduced, NVIDIA took a lot of heat (no pun intended) over how this was going to be a hot running, power hog of a card. True to form, that's exactly what we were treated to when the GTX 480 was released almost a year ago to the day. As the year progressed, NVIDIA worked to tame the savage beast and delivered variants of the GF 100 GPU to fit just about every price and performance point. They had some real standouts in the value category in the GTX 460 and GTS 450. Even, while still holding sway over the top of the single-GPU hill with the GTX 480. The AMD HD 5970 still held the king of the hill video card honors though. AMD rolled up their sleeves and took a couple shots at the top with the Northern Islands lineup but NVIDIA countered with the GTX 500 series right before the AMD HD 6900 series launch. Giving, the NVIDIA faithful what they had been waiting for since Fermi was unveiled at the Inaugural NVIDIA GPU technology conference in November 2009. A fully functional 512 core beast of a card. The concerns were going to be the heat output and power consumption issues that plagued the GTX 480. In the span of eight months, NVIDIA fixed the heat with an improved Vapor chamber cooling solution while reducing the noise penalty associated with the need to remove heat from the core. Power consumption was attacked also with the result being significantly reduced operating voltages that contributed to the lower heat and thus noise to rid the card and chassis of that heat. So, in turn you had a win win combo that really put a damper on AMD's parade. Fast forward a few months and we have AMD's shot at retaining the single card crown with the fast, obnoxiously loud "Antilles" HD 6990. There is no doubt that this card is at the top of the food chain for AMD and delivers its promise as the current fastest card on the planet. Today though, we have NVIDIA's response to this brash performer with the introduction of the GTX 590. This is the card that many said could not be built due to the power hungry nature of the Fermi architecture and its associated heat. Well boys and girls it's real and the rumors are true. The GTX 590 comes with the full compliment of 512 Cuda cores on each of the two GF110 GPU cores for a total of 1024. Eight GPC (Graphics Computing Clusters), 32 streaming multiprocessors, 128 texture units and 96 ROP units. This beast comes with 3GB (1.5GB per GPU) of GDDR5 memory running through a pair of 384 bit buses. All this attached to a special 12 layer PCB. This amount of memory is shy of the 4GB on the HD 6990 but we'll see how the addition of a second GPU to the PCB affects the performance. We'll also see how well the GTX 590 scales as well as to the kind of performance it delivers. Will the thermals be a deal breaker? Can NVIDIA keep the acoustics under control? Let's find out.
Closer Look:
The GTX 590 we have to look at is actually from ASUS as they are one of the exclusive board partners chosen by NVIDIA for this launch. They in turn will have availability of the GTX 590 through the usual channels including popular etailers such as Newegg, NCIX and Tiger Direct. Additionally, they have some high-end system integrators getting behind ASUS for the GTX 590 launch including Maingear, Puget Systems, IBuyCyberPower, DigitalStorm and more. Enough of that. let's look at what ASUS has delivered for this launch. The packaging is pretty much the ASUS standard graphics card packaging and includes messaging about thier "Voltage Tweak" technology, Additional mentions include DirectX 11 support as with all of the 5 series, SLI and 3D Surround support and that the GTX 590 is equipped with 3GB of GDDR5 memory. The back panel has a brief summary of the specifications and talks about gaming performance, the 3D Vision ecosystem and the connectivity options. All pretty interesting information if you take the time to read it.
The inner packaging is again traditional ASUS and sets them apart from the crowd with the black coloring with the ASUS label embossed in gold. Inside, the method used to deliver the accessories has changed slightly using a foam block to fill the entire enclosure with the GTX 590 filling most of the space. The hardware accessories fill a small cutout in this foam block.
The accessory bundle is kind of slim but with the connectivity options the need for adapters is minimal. You get the Quick install guide, Driver and utility disk, dual six pin PCIe to eight pin PCIe power adapter, DVI to d-sub and DVI to HDMI adapters.
The ASUS GTX 590 is designed to be at the top of the NVIDIA single card food chain. As such, the expectations are high going into this review.

Γεἰα σας!
I'm an American student studying in Athens for a semester. I'm a classics major currently planning on going to grad school and becoming a prof. My username is actually the name of my band at home ... we're a progressive metal band but our name should make classics fans geek out, 'cause it's from the use of the subjunctive voice in the future less vivid conditional in Latin
I have come here for some advice, because I am a fairly good classics student but I'm having some trouble. Hopefully you all can help!

Franz Messenbaeck
Goldfield, Nevada
Biography: Franz G. Messenbaeck is a photographer and surgeon in Bischofshofen, Austria. He considers both professions as complementary. The precision of surgery influences photography, aesthetic sensibilities of photography bring advantages in surgery. Franz G. Messenbaeck started photographing during his time as a student of medicine in Vienna and gained his first experiences in the darkroom in 1985. Fascinated by the American landscape photographers of the last century, he decided to work with a large format camera at quite an early date. For the last six years, Franz has only been recording pictures...

[2.] Now, when using irascibilis, this is the equivalent of the English irascible, as an adjective, it can stand alone as et irascibilis?
[3.] What about citò irascus? I like it because it can convey the meaning of wrathfulness.

whatcha reading?Thursday, July 02, 2009
I received this book last fall and immediately earmarked several projects. The book then got placed alongside my knitting books and was sort of forgotten until Libby started reading a book she thought she couldn't read around her brothers. The back cover had some "girl content" and she knew they would see it.
I remembered the book cover project which was perfect for concealing what she wanted to hide.
We picked out some fabric and used a contrasting brown linen scrap for the lining. A ribbon saved from a gift from my sisters travels to Italy. Gusto: Vigorous enjoyment. Perfect.
There are several other projects in the book I would love to make.
A new apron may be in order. I'm thinking brown linen would be nice.
And maybe a new set of summertime coasters.

Greece ticket inspection death prompts protest
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek youths clashed with riot police in Athens on Friday as they protested the death of a teenage trolley passenger during a ticket inspection, a death that anti-austerity groups have blamed on the government's harsh economic policies.
The violence came as 1,000 people marched through the working-class Peristeri district after the young man's funeral, chanting anti-government slogans. Some protesters set rubbish bins on fire and threw stones at police, who responded with stun grenades and pepper spray.
At least four people were detained, but no injuries were reported.
Technical school student Thanassis Kanaoutis, 19, fell to his death Tuesday night when the trolley bus doors unexpectedly opened following an altercation with a ticket inspector because he hadn't validated his ticket. The incident is under investigation.
Greece's main opposition party, the Syriza Radical Left Coalition, has linked the death with the country's severe economic crisis, saying the victim was unemployed and died because he couldn't afford the 1.20-euro ($1.60) fare.
Syriza also condemned Athens transport authorities' practice of giving ticket inspectors a cut of the fines they impose as an incentive to address widespread fare-dodging. The party demanded free transportation for the unemployed, low-income pensioners and students.
The anti-austerity "I won't pay" group, which advocates non-payment of public transportation fares, highway tolls and utility bills, hailed the youth as "the first dead fighter for civil disobedience."
Police temporarily suspended trolley bus services in Peristeri, for fear of attacks on transport workers, and closed two subway stations. Youths vandalized buses after Kanaoutis' death in Athens and Thessaloniki, where 13 people were arrested for spraying slogans on a bus.
Earlier Friday, hundreds of protesters marched through Peristeri to the local cemetery. Some stopped a bus on the way, damaging the windshield and spray-painting "murderers" on the glass.
In 2008, the fatal police shooting of a teenager in Athens sparked weeks of rioting across the country.
For more than three years, debt-crippled Greece has survived on huge bailouts from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund. To secure continued disbursement of the rescue loans, the country has slashed spending and incomes, repeatedly raised taxes, increased the retirement age and — breaking a century-old taboo — pledged to cut 15,000 public sector jobs by 2015.
The cutbacks have deepened a five-year recession so severe that many economists call it a depression and pushed unemployment to nearly 28 percent — and about 65 percent among Greek youths.
Government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said the death would be fully investigated, and accused Syriza of engaging in "populism bordering on grave robbery."

How weird! This morning I posted about my pen and the ink I use in it. A pen I have used without incident, around the world, in book after book. A Lamy Safari Charcoal Extra Fine Point Fountain Pen – L17EF
This evening, my pen ran dry and so I refilled it, just like I have dozens of times before.. An hour later I picked it up to draw — and it conked out. It just felt like a strange plastic roller ball nib and wouldn't produce a line. It was like a lifeless corpse in my hand. I cleaned it, refilled it, tried everything that would normally revive a wonky pen. Zilch.
There was nothing I could do but order a new Safari, a bright blue one this time.
That's what I get for raving about a trusty old pal and for answering too many questions about it in one day. Rest in peace, Old Safari.

Hybrid graphics
From Hybridgraphics
What's that ?
The laptop manufacturers developed new technologies involving *two graphic cards* in an single computer, enabling both high performance and power saving usages. This technology is well supported on Windows but it's still quite experimental with Linux distributions.
nVidia Optimus
With nVidia's Optimus, the images are always sent through the integrated Intel card, even when the computations are made on the discrete card. There's no physical switch which could allow the user to "plug" his monitor to the card of his choice. The user can't use the nVidia GPU directly, even on Windows.

Mattias needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 368 designs submitted by 122 freelance designers.
Looking for a new logo redesign for 360Skate.com. It should be clean, cool, represent motion and appeal to the Teen Market and not turn off the parents who usually buy the products for them.
Our company http://www360skate.com sells skateboards and we want a logo that represents a 360 motion. We are thinking of an Iconic Logo with Text and the Icon is showing some sort of revolution motion, but we want to see any idea if you think you have a good one. The logo should be clean but appeal to the teen market. We will use the logo on the web site, print media, stickers and t shirts.
- Should look good on a dark or light background
- Can use our Blue and Green colors or White and Black variations
- Just make it really cool
- Should be better than our current logo
- Easy to read
- Icon that shows a 360 revolution movement
- Simple is better
- Don't use hard to read letters
- Don't use Silhouettes of skaters as this is overused
- Don't use pictures of skateboards or skaters
- No arrows, abstract arrows are ok
