Retooling leads to resounding success at JCB
In mid-2007, British-based construction equipment manufacturer JCB announced that 2006 had been the best in its 61-year history.
Building on that success, the third largest manufacturer in the industry — behind only Caterpillar and Komatsu — added two new product lines and broke ground for a 200,000-square-foot service center at its North American headquarters in Pooler.
Then the bottom dropped out.
As the world slipped into recession, construction markets dried up and the Pooler plant's once-robust export business took a nosedive.
Less than 18 months after announcing its best year ever, the company had to lay off some 120 employees locally — about a quarter of its workforce. The Pooler plant, capable of producing some 20,000 machinery units annually, had turned out only 2,500 in 2008.
"Regrettably, these difficult decisions have to be made to ensure the company remains lean and efficient enough to deal with the downturn and enable JCB to bounce back strongly once market conditions improve," CEO John Patterson said in making the announcement in November 2008.
Those words would prove prophetic.
Two months later, Patterson would deliver the news that another 100 employees would be laid off as the company restructured its Pooler plant in an effort to keep it viable down the road.
While some companies were throwing in the towel, JCB "took advantage of the depressed conditions to reorganize for the long-term growth of our company," he said.
Part of the global company's overall strategy was to restructure its operations into product-responsible business units.
As such, the Pooler plant became responsible for the engineering, design and manufacture of all JCB skid steer loaders for worldwide distribution. While it made sense — skid steers represent more than 60 percent of the construction market in North America and nearly 40 percent of the construction equipment market worldwide — it was still a painful process as the plant retooled.
"It was pretty brutal, having to let so many people go," Patterson recalled. "But it was the only way we were going to survive and come out on the other end."
Today, the gamble has paid off.
Company revenues for 2011 hit an all-time high, with Pooler-based North American operations contributing significantly to the bottom line.
Skid steer production is at full capacity, with global response to the company's newly designed line "beyond our expectations," Patterson said.
The plant is producing 25 machines a day, four times what it was doing just a year ago. The units "are selling faster than we can build them," he said.
Some 58 percent of the machines are being exported out of the Port of Savannah — primarily to South America, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and India. No longer just a domestic manufacturer, the local plant now welcomes visitors from around the globe.
And the workforce is pushing 600, with recruiting still in progress.
Patterson is understandably proud of the turnaround.
"In reinventing ourselves, JCB has ensured this plant's long-term future," he said.
While the economy still has a long way to go, Patterson sees some encouraging signs.
"Housing starts are beginning to rebound a little," he said. "That bodes well."
He also hopes voters will pass a proposed penny sales tax for transportation in July.
"That would not only provide an economic benefit in terms of job creation — and machine sales — but would help us beef up our aging infrastructure," Patterson said.
"From my perspective, it's a win-win-win."

NEW YORK — The stock market edged higher on Thursday as positive news for the US economy outweighed worries about escalating tensions with Syria.
NEW YORK — The stock market edged higher on Thursday as positive news for the U.S. economy outweighed worries about escalating tensions with Syria.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 35 points, or 0.2 percent, to 14,858 in late afternoon trading, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index was up six points, or 0.4 percent, at 1,641. The Nasdaq composite rose more sharply, gaining 32 points, or 0.9 percent, to 3,625.
Verizon Communications was the biggest gainer among the blue chips after Britain's Vodafone confirmed it was in talks with Verizon to sell its 45 percent stake their joint venture, Verizon Wireless.
Verizon rose $1.47, or 3 percent, to $48.05. The U.S.-listed shares of Vodafone rose $2.39, or 8 percent, to $31.81.
The stock market recovered much its loss from Tuesday, when the Dow fell 170 points as the U.S. denounced an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.
While many fund managers said they're not looking to jump back into the market just yet, some individual companies are looking attractive again.
"If you're a long-term investor, it's an opportunity," said Richard Sichel, chief investment officer at Philadelphia Trust Co., which has $1.9 billion under management. He noted a new investment, the retail chain PetSmart, as an example.
Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment officer at the asset management firm Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas, said the market might have fallen too quickly. He also cautioned that the gains from the last two days may not last.
"Be very careful," Wilbanks said. "You haven't missed out on much if you've sat on the sidelines since May. I'm not putting a lot of money to work here."
Traders focused on good economic reports that came out early Thursday. The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated, the government said. The figure was revised up from 1.7 percent as more U.S. companies exported goods and imports declined.
Also, the Labor Department said the number of people who filed for unemployment benefits last week fell to 331,000, the fewest in five years.
While lower unemployment claims and an upward revision on GDP are both positive signs, most of Wall Street's attention is focused on next week, when the August jobs report will be released. The Federal Reserve is expected to decide the fate of its massive bond-buying program in mid-September, and the jobs survey will be the last bit of significant economic data the Fed will have to consider before making its decision.
Traders also continue to watch Syria, where a U.S.-led attack could happen, although such a strike seems less imminent than earlier in the week.
"The general feeling is that Syrian tensions have eased a bit," said Alec Young, global equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ.
The price of crude oil fell $1.37, or 1 percent, to $108.71 a barrel. Oil had climbed as high as $112 earlier this week.
Energy-related stocks fell. Exxon Mobil slipped 2 percent and Chevron fell 1 percent.
Investors worry that a limited strike could drag the U.S. and its allies into that nation's civil war, or worse, set off a regional conflict in an area where so much of the world's oil is located.
Beyond the news about Syria, it remains a mostly quiet week for stocks. Traders are winding down during the last week of summer and heading out for the Labor Day holiday this weekend.
Midday trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange was roughly 1.3 billion shares, far below the roughly 3.4 billion shares typically traded daily.
Wilbanks said he doesn't expect the market to move substantially higher from these levels, citing the mediocre second-quarter earnings that U.S. companies just finished reporting.
"We're going to need to see robust corporate profit growth to move the market higher," he said.
In other corporate news, teen clothing store operator Guess jumped $3.48, or 12.7 percent, to $30.78 after the company reported second-quarter profit and revenue late Wednesday that blew past the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The retailer also raised its profit forecast for the year.
Campbell Soup fell $1.17, or 2.6 percent, to $43.54 after posting a loss for its fiscal fourth quarter. The company's results were dragged down by a charge related to the potential sale of a European business. While the results topped Wall Street's estimates, revenue missed expectations.

A little less than two years ago, a colleague told me to, "Get outside and go hiking while it's still green." I had just moved to San Luis Obispo, and Sada (colleague soon to become good friend) was telling me some of the ins and outs of my new town and region. The rainy season was coming to an end, which would soon mean that the green would go away and the dust would come again — beautiful in its own way, but not the green that desert eyes learn to savor. Sure enough, within just a couple weeks, the hills lost their brilliance and returned to shades of brown.
Today Ben and I went out on a hike to one of the first hikes I did following Sada's words of wisdom, a hill called Cerro San Luis. Although it was threatening rain, we decided to hike anyway. Near the top it sprinkled on us, and then we relaxed under a tree when the rain came down a little heavier. Just before were about to start up the hill again, we said hello to a hiker headed down, and she commented that we looked so perfect with the big tree around us and said she should take our photo. I gladly shared my iPhone with her. A minute later, she continued down the trail, and I was left blessed by the kindness of this woman to notice, speak up, and capture a precious moment for us.
I am humbled by life these days. It was just two years ago that I was preparing to move to California, to start a new job and build a new home. And here I am with more than I could ever dream of, and I am humbled by this life filled with blessings. As we hiked today, it was a precious time to soak in the beauty. In this season, the green hills and wildflowers in bloom are such great reminders of beauty and blessings. May they never be taken for granted.

Intersections- Fat Fashion and money.
SO I'm back and I have some good news before I get to the entry.
Good news #1 I have new fiction being published sometime soon. Details when it happens.
Good news #2 Grown up author site is a go. And here my darlings is where you come in. I really want to promote and link to people I think are fucking awesome and you my homies are fucking awesome. Do not be shy. I want your links to what you're doing. Crafts, writing, etsy stores, websites, whatever your hustle is baby. Gimme it.
No seriously please.
Now it's not live yet so no links to see but it's happening. I'm also planning on trying to put up submission resources and other author resources as well.
A newer homie named Christy asked me via the form about my particular experience with modern fat fashion and wanted to know about the intersection of money, clothes and needs in my experience.
In my life size and cost have gone hand in hand to make shopping for even basics, I'm not even going to go into nice clothes or special occasional clothes just basic things, really difficult.
I'll touch a little bit on my personal aesthetic but let's talk bottom line stuff.
Right now I'm about a size 14/16ish usually. To give some scale, pants in a size 16 from Old Navy fit my hips and thighs, not my ass or my natural waist. Size 14 pants from Old navy fit my hips, thighs and ass very tightly and my natural waist but not my low waist which is where most of their pants hit.
So my size itself is not an exclusionary issue in general. I can if something is stretchy work it out in something a size L from a lot of places or an XL XXL etc. It depends.
Now when it comes to dresses and shirts I'm more comfortable in a roomier size 16 because I have the big boobies and big shoulders.
When it comes to plus size stores in particular, I'm not sized out. And (ugh I hate this term so hard)as an Imbetweenie I do have a privilege that means I can potentially shop in a lot more places than someone who is larger than I am.
Not good or bad as privilege is, it just is.
When it comes to plus size clothing my issue is price.
I quite simply cannot afford to shop at the vast majority of plus size specific retailers. It's not reasonable for me.
I'm pretty sure if I were say a size 26 I would be absolutely fucked.
A lot of the more popular plus size retailers are places that is't just not good common sense for me to shop. Yes, in theory it would be fabulous to save up say 60$ (probably plus shipping since I don't always have the time to gt out to physical stores, more on that in a bit) and buy this dress from Lane Bryant.
I use that dress because I do actually really love it and would probably wear it fairly often. But 60$.
Now it's not just 60 dollars. If I was to buy it in a store I would have to go on a weekend day. My partner and I don't have a car and use public transportation so we would have to ride at least three buses and spend about 3 hours getting to a physical store.
So factor in hours spent traveling, potentially not having the dress and having to go somewhere else or ask them to order one and then going back to that store to pick it up. Potentially that could be anywhere from 4-10 hours all told.
Or I could pay shipping, possibly have to return it because of size issues or have to alter the dress which would be at least a 4-6 hour investment.
All that for a dress.
Being that I can't afford that. I have to spend those hours scouring the internet for ideas as to what I might want, then trying to find things that a.) might fit me and b.) that I can afford.
Very often these two things do not line up.
For instance earlier today I saw a very cute black dress with a lovely wide neckline, cap sleeves, it would be about knee length on me for 25$. I'm not linking for a reason.
So even with shipping, I estimated that I could probably wear the dress for 3 seasons out of the year with variances in layers and it would look good on me, it fits my taste (a rarity right now) and I could afford it.
I was all set to purchase it next paycheck and remembered that I have to check the sizing and it turns out that not a single affordable item at this shop would fit me. This store does not offer plus sizes, they have a few manufacturers that they deal with who offer plus sizes but they are not going to sell them.
Given how much I thrift and scour etsy, ebay etc etc. Sometimes I just want to buy a new goddamn dress.
The intersections are where I get hung up and ultimately let down most of the time. Almost 80% of the time one of my three major requirements are not met. Or I just can't justify the cost if the cost factor is the one hanging me up.
This is also why I will get seriously pissed off for being taken to task for shopping at Walmart or Target.
As a matter of fact I just bought some basics at Target last week. I really like Target tshirts and tank tops. The Jrs and Plus size versions of these tops are all 10$ and under. If I wash them nicely they last for awhile. They are plain, well fitting and I am comfortable in them and I can afford them.
A few people remarked snarkily about me giving Target money and you know what I say?
Fuck you.
I am not going to go without basic items because a corporation did something stupid and ugly. I just can't afford it. I can't afford to go instead to Fred Meyer's where for what I paid for all the stuff I got at Target I might be able to get two items.
It's not practical and I'm not going without.
So if you are someone who engages in boycotting whatever stores don't give people who aren't shit if you don't know the situation.
In a nutshell, the intersections of economics, availability and size all too often cause me to get angry. Yes I got angry when Torrid's prices started going up. Yes I got angry when they stopped carrying the bulk of things I liked and could afford.
I got angry when Lane Bryant stopped carrying items I could afford.
I get angry when people say just buy X thing at this shop. If I say affordable and specify that no I can't spend 50$ on a shirt, I can't spend 50$ on a shirt and yes I'm going to be pissed off.
One of the tricky things when you're talking fashion is to keep in mind your own privilege. If you can spend 300$ a shopping trip anytime you feel like it that's great and I ain't mad at ya but remember that not everyone has that option. Sometimes it's size, sometimes it's availability, sometimes it's price.
While I'm on the subject. I have to say that I find it disheartening when people dismiss fashion as not being important on the FA spectrum.
I think that's a rather narrow view. Fashion intersects with body politics at so many points. From the ones I've talked about today to how green fashion, to fashion design, marketing how these things in turn have an effect on us the consumers.
I also find it disheartening because I believe that a HUGE part of not only Fat Acceptance but any body politics issues are changing the normative views.
When a lot of people think street style, buying guides, style inspiration the visuals are not fat people. Not because there are no fat people doing these things but because of the way fatness is viewed and perceived.
How anyone can say that these things don't matter in the larger scheme of Fat Acceptance I will never know.
Okay it's time for more theraflu and then some tea. be nice to each other my homies.
This weekend if I'm feeling up to it I'll show y'all some of how I work with my tastes, size and finances to make my wardrobe make me happy.
So remember, give me your links, love each other, love yourselves and please do a little dance and I'll be with you in spirit.
Homo Out.

I dig what you are saying.
Also, you mentioned wanting links... so if you'd like to link to my blog and/or etsy site, that would be rad.

People can fuck off w/ the snark about Target. I LOVE the clothing selection and prices at Target. I buy all my clothes at Target or Old Navy. (With the VERY rare exception of somewhere else.) I bought a really great T-shirt at Target a few weeks ago that I can wear both to work and on weekends, and now I'm regretting not buying like 5 or 6 of them!
I hear you on Target/Wal-Mart. I'm one as well that can't afford to not shop there.
I use Wal-Mart for groceries and household goods and Target for personal items, hardly clothes. But the last time I was in Target, my mom found a black button down cardigan on clearance for me to the tune of $11. Sometimes it's hard to find a staple piece like that in a 26/28 and I can use it for causal and dress. People who want to get on my case for giving them my money can stick it.
This is totally why I'm an ebay addict. I go to Lane Bryant for bras because I literally can't find my size anywhere else; it'd be nice if I could afford to go to independent specialty shops but I can't afford $60 on a Goddess bra when I could get 3 at LB for that much...but LB's clothes are totally overpriced and I hate all the new cuts. Torrid used to be great 10 years ago when they were just an extension of Hot Topic's plus-sized section (when THEY used to sell plus sizes, I lived on their clearance rack.) but now it's just overpriced ugly floral prints and stuff I'd never wear; they only put out maybe 2-3 cool things per production cycle now. And yes, it's easy for all my skinny friends to say "just shop at thrift stores!" but not all thrift shops carry a lot of plus-size stuff period, let alone things that I'd like to wear/could easily DIY up. Hence I've had great luck on ebay with finding things in my size and are affordable, that I like or could easily jazz up.

I make more than average, which is definitely privilege. I'm in software, so I don't need dress-up clothes for work, which is definitely privilege.
I'm too big for the clothes in most stores, which isn't a privilege.
Thanks to the web, catalogs that carry my size are easier to find than they were in the 90s. That, and having access to the web, is a privilege.
Another privilege? I wear the same size I did ten years ago. Having a steady size means I'm not having to replace things as much.

Farmers' Market Inspiration: Citrus and Beets Hollywood, California
Our first Hollywood Farmers' Market visit of the new year was filled with the scent of oranges, mandarins, and lemons, and colorful piles of red, gold, and striped Chioggia beets. We came home with several varieties of each and intend to make some beautiful citrus and beet salads this week. We love this combination and rounded up some recipes featuring our farmers' market finds…
Roasted or raw, the earthy sweet flavor of beets is fantastic with tangy oranges or other citrus fruits. The combination brings bright flavor and color to winter salads. Peppery greens, fresh cheeses, and spices like coriander and chile are also good additions.
Here are some recipe ideas. Let us know if you have any favorite beet and citrus dishes!

Chocolate Event Details Set
SFMV Members and Friends are invited to the Mansion View Inn, 2035 Collingwood, at 7 PM on Tuesday March 3rd to meet Enrique Cerda, a member of the Kallari Association in Ecuador, whose Kallari Chocolate bars were recently launched at Whole Foods stores in the U.S. Cerda will be traveling with a translator, Rebecca Roebber, an intern from the University of Oregon
The Kallari Association is a cooperative of over 850 Quichua families in Napo Province in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Recognizing that most of the profit is to be made from sales of chocolate bars, not the cacao beans, the Quichua people created a cooperative where they would have more control over revenues. The Kallari Association, with its self-reliant governance and innovative economic model, is nothing short of revolutionary in the global chocolate industry. Cacao production provides the Quichua people with a viable income so they have the economic resources to resist logging their forests or succumb to the short-term riches offered by petroleum extraction. A full 100 percent of profits from sales of the chocolate bars are returned to the Kallari Association.

Chocolate Can Be Good, Clean And Fair - Learn How
On Tuesday March 3rd, SFMV will host Kallari chocolatier Enrique Cerda and intern Rebecca Roebbler, who will be visiting Toledo to share the techniques of organic cacao production and artesanal chocolate making.
The talk and tasting will be held at 7 PM at a location to be announced. The cost will be $10 per member, $20 for non-members.
Participants will also have the opportunity to sample various chocolates in a blind tasting, including several gourmet, organic, fair trade, and single origin dark chocolates.
The Kallari Association is the first indigenous organization of cacao growers to receive 100% of the proftis from their own line of chocolate bars.
Kallari cacao growers transport their cacao harvest to a nearby factory in Quito Ecuador. The Amazon beans are processed when they are still fresh, only weeks after the harvest. Kallari is one of the few chocolate bars made without the typical Methyl Bromide fumigation of cacao beans prior to export, weeks spent in airtight shipping containers and months/years spent in storage as brokers await price hikes in cacao or chocolate makers churn out bars.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) No. 10 Florida has reinstated point guard Scottie Wilbekin, ending his suspension after three games.
Coach Billy Donovan announced Wilbekin's return Friday, saying the 6-foot-2 junior will be available against Middle Tennessee on Sunday in Tampa.
Wilbekin missed games against Georgetown, Alabama State and No. 22 Wisconsin. The Gators (2-0) haven't divulged what Wilbekin did, but said it wasn't criminal or an NCAA violation. Donovan said information was brought to him Nov. 8 that warranted a suspension.
Wilbekin averaged 2.3 points last season playing behind Erving Walker. With Walker gone, Wilbekin was expected to play a much bigger role this season.
It's unclear when he or if Wilbekin will regain his starting spot. Senior guards Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario shared ball-handling duties in the first three games.

Hi mamas!!
I'm so sad! Really need help!
My son still loves to nurse, but my milk seems to be drying up month by month... The frequency of breastfeeding is the same, I didn't change anything on my diet... I really don't know why this is happening...
My cycle returned in january, 13 months pos partum, but since 18 months I've been struggling with very low milk supply about 2 weeks before period... But this time my period came, stopped yesterday and my supply didn't improve!
I really don't know what else could I do... I'm drinking lots of liquids, fennel tea, eating oats, nursing many times/day, scheduled an appointment with OB/GY...
Could you mamas help me??
Thank you for your attention

'Silly-SMP' is a project to determine "What are the minimal changes needed to AROS to support 'full' SMP? Is it even possible?"
This is Research with a capital 'R'.
But that '25% of the time' _does_ show that a full SMP system on AROS is possible.
This is quite a big deal for the Amiga world - and proves that, in my view, AROS has more of a future than AmigaOS will ever have: it's portable, and it's open source, so experiments like this are more likely to happen.

RE: Optimal MP

I do master-slave multicore. Core Zero runs the application and it tells each other core what task to do. It's optimal. I want to run one application faster, not two!
Pray that processor cores stop multiplying like pest over time, then. Otherwise, the master core could easily become a performance bottleneck.

A Civil War Surgeon & Prisoner of War
The Joseph H. Hayward family papersis one of five collections on deposit at the MHS from the Mary M. B. Wakefield Charitable Trust. The collection contains over two centuries of correspondence, diaries, sketchbooks, and other personal papers of members of the Hayward family of Milton, Mass., including Civil War surgeon John McLean Hayward (1837-1886).
John McLean Hayward, or "Mac," graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1858. His family had already produced a number of doctors, including his father Joshua Henshaw Hayward, his uncle George Hayward, and his grandfather Lemuel Hayward. While still in his twenties, Mac was commissioned surgeon of the 12th Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry, otherwise known as the "Webster Regiment" after its first commander Col. Fletcher Webster. Mac served with distinction at Bull Run, Antietam, and other battles.
Unfortunately, on 19 November 1862, he was captured by the Confederate Army at Warrenton, Va. The Hayward collection contains some fascinating documents related to this incident, including the certificate of his parole, signed by Capt. Robert Randolph of the Black Horse Troop, 4th Virginia Cavalry. On the reverse of this document is a note granting Hayward passage "from Confederate into Federal lines."
Hayward's capture was complicated by the fact that he served as a non-combatant. General Order No. 60, issued on 6 June 1862 by the U.S. War Department, stated in no uncertain terms that medical personnel were off-limits. Paragraph 4 of the order read: "The principle being recognized that medical officers should not be held as prisoners of war it is hereby directed that all medical officers so held by the United States shall be immediately and unconditionally discharged." On 26 June, the Confederate States of America did the same with its General Order No. 45.
On 26 November 1862, Hayward forwarded his parole to the assistant adjutant general in Washington, enclosed in a letter describing the circumstances of his capture. He explained that he had been ill for some time. When the 12th Regiment had decamped from Warrenton, he stayed behind to recuperate and was captured when Confederate troops marched into town. He wrote, "On the 19th Gen. Steward [Jeb Stuart] arrived and demanded my parole. I at first refused to give it on the ground that I was a surgeon and could not be paroled, but Steward took the ground that as I was not in charge of any sick at Warrenton I should be treated like any other officer in the same circumstance and if I refused my parole I should go a prisoner to Richmond."
Annotations on the back of Hayward's letter show a series of referrals. In just three days, the letter made its way to the Commissary-General of Prisoners Col. William Hoffman, then to Lt. Col. William H. Ludlow at Fort Monroe, Agent for Exchange of Prisoners. In his referral to Ludlow, Hoffman wrote, "This case comes clearly under Order No. 60, June 6th par. 4 – and Dr. Hayward should be released." Ludlow agreed, writing, "The parole given by Dr. Hayward is null and void."
Hayward eventually returned to his regiment, but had to resign his commission in April 1863 due to poor health. After serving for a short time as post surgeon at the Long Island conscript camp in Boston Harbor, he opened a private practice in Boston. In an interesting postscript to his Civil War service, documents in the collection indicate that, on 26 March 1864, he exhibited an invention to the Suffolk District Medical Society – a "mule ambulance" of his own design. The society immediately approved his invention for submission to the War Department.
John McLean Hayward was clearly well-respected as a doctor and a military man. His friend Col. James L. Bates, speaking on behalf of the regiment in a letter to the surgeon general, described Hayward as "a gentleman whom we all love and esteem, and in whose skill in surgery and medicine we have an unbounded faith."

It was a quieter affair in Italy this week, but it did not stop Palermo from claiming bragging rights in the Derby di Sicilia, Torino holding Fiorentina and Lazio thrashing Udinese
Marek Hamsik scored the only goal of the game as Napoli moved to within two points of leaders Juventus with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cagliari at the Is Arena.
Shorn of the services of Edinson Cavani and Goran Pandev, the Partenopei were by no means at their best in Sardinia, but they still had the best chance of the first half as Lorenzo Insigne saw his terrific curling effort strike the inside of the post and then roll across the line.
However, it was Cagliari who were dominating both possession and territory and Ivo Pulga's men crashed the woodwork themselves in the second half when Paolo Cannavaro deflected Daniele Conti's cross against his own bar.
It was Napoli, though, who finally made the breakthrough. Slovakia international Hamsik finished calmly into the bottom right corner after the ball had fallen kindly for him inside the area.
Cagliari poured forward in the remaining 18 minutes but, despite their best efforts, were unable to prevent the visitors from recording a victory which sees them climb above Inter and Fiorentina into second in the standings.
Palermo bounced back from last week's horror show at Bologna in emphatic fashion, by defeating arch-rivals Catania 3-1 in Saturday's Derby di Sicilia.
Gian Piero Gasperini's side crashed to a three-goal reverse at the Dall'Ara in the previous round of fixtures, but Fabrizio Miccoli's shot from the edge of the box on 16 minutes set the tone early on.
The Rosanero then doubled their lead shortly after the interval via Josip Ilicic, who was teed up by Franco Brienza on the edge of the area and subsequently fired home the second goal of the evening.
Ilicic then grabbed his second and Palermo's third on the hour mark after capping off a quick-fire counter-attack, leaving Mariano Andujar to pick up the pieces for Catania.
There was still time for a late consolation from the Elefanti, however, as Francesco Lodi pulled one back for the visitors with 15 minutes left, but it was too little too late as Palermo climbed to 15th. Catania, meanwhile, stay seventh.
Genoa eased the pressure on under-fire coach Luigi Del Neri as they recorded a vital 1-0 victory at Atalanta to stop the rot.
The winning goal came on 39 minutes as Andrea Bertolacci collected the ball inside the penalty area and fired a powerful shot past Andrea Consigli. The result ended a run of nine matches without a win in Serie A and six defeats on the bounce.
Despite Emiliano Moretti's red card with stoppage time looming for a second bookable offence on Maxi Moralez, the Ligurians jump out of the relegation zone and into 16th place while the Orobici remain ninth.
A drab affair was witnessed at the Bentegodi as a profligate Chievo failed to make home advantage count against fellow strugglers Siena.
The Flying Donkeys have been susceptible defensively this season, with only two clean sheets to their name, but boss Eugenio Corini will have been pleased with his side's resilience.
Emanuele Calaio came closest to breaking the deadlock in the second-half but Stefano Sorrentino refused to be beaten between the posts, while Mamadou Samassa, on the pitch for half an hour, was sent off late on for the hosts.
Chievo climb out of the relegation places while Siena fall into 18th following Genoa's win.
Zdenek Zeman made a winning return to his former stomping ground on Sunday as Roma ground out a 1-0 win away at Pescara.
Mattia Destro proved the difference between the two sides on five minutes, netting the rebound from Mattia Perin's attempt to parry away Francesco Totti's free kick.
The result means the Giallorossi have now registered clean sheets and victories in successive matches and consolidate fifth position in the table. Pescara, however, stay bottom, leaving new coach Cristiano Bergodi with plenty of work to do.
Fiorentina had to rely on a last-gasp equaliser on Sunday to draw 2-2 with Torino and maintain their pursuit of a Champions League place.
The Granata took the lead with only five minutes of the first-half remaining as Alessio Cerci met Danilo D'Ambrosio's looping cross at the far post to beat Emiliano Viviano and net against his former club.
However, D'Ambrosio then turned from hero to villain midway through the second period as he tripped Juan Cuadrado in the box, allowing Gonzalo Rodriguez to step up and send Jean-Francois Gillet the wrong way.
Their comeback lasted barely two minutes, though, when Valter Birsa's cross evaded everyone in the area and crept past the Italy goalkeeper, but Mounir El Hamdaoui's powerful strike from Cuadrado's through ball was worthy of a point.
The Viola sit third in the table, while Torino sit in 14th spot.
Sampdoria seem to have turned a corner after their narrow 1-0 success over Bologna made it two wins on the bounce for the Blucerchiati.
However, their cause was greatly helped by Archimede Morleo's red card on five minutes. The full-back was adjudged to have pulled back Mauro Icardi as the last man in a counter-attacking move.
Victory was secured after an hour as Andrea Poli played a one-two with Eder and coolly bent the finish home from close range.
The home side climb to 12th in the standings but Bologna fall into the bottom three.
Lazio consolidated fifth place in the Serie A table with a comfortable 3-0 triumph over an Udinese side who were no match for their Roman counterparts on Tuesday.
On 17 minutes, Alvaro Gonzalez got the ball rolling for the Biancocelesti, latching onto Stefano Mauri's through pass and firing the finish past Zeljko Brkic.
And on the half-hour mark, Miroslav Klose doubled Lazio's lead, taking advantage of another assist from the left-footed playmaker before catching out the Serbian goalkeeper.
If the points were not already in the bag, Hernanes then made sure with a wonderful strike with little over an hour of the match played.
While the hosts are now unbeaten in four matches, the Zebrette are now winless in six and fall to 12th place.

Planning your scenes and staging them - or "layout" is a complicated and frustrating process.
It's not merely a matter of doing a bunch of pretty drawings in a row (although that's the last step)
FIND THE FURTHEST POINTS OF ACTION IN THE SCENE: top, bottom, left, right.
So plan all the scenes and poses very roughly at first.
Make sure the biggest shapes fit into the scene and flip nicely from pose to pose, and have room left over to move into if needed.
This is why layout is so demanding. You have to balance a pile of restrictive concepts at the same time-while making the drawings appear free and unrestricted.
I have to tell you, that this use of layout is the most important ingredient of the so-called "creator-driven" revolution of cartoons that happened in the late 80s and early 90s. It's every bit as important as the creativity of the ideas behind the cartoons, probably even more so.
Without it, all the ideals of cartoons written by cartoonists, directors heading up units, individual artists' styles being recognizable and the input of each creative person's personality and ideas actually appearing on-screen could never have happened. Could never and would never have.
Animation itself, the kernel of what we are supposed to be doing was forever banished to far-away shores, away from the control of the few wanna-be cartoon creators. In television, using layouts to control what you see on screen was the only way possible to give cartoons back to the cartoonists.
It freed the story artists to once again concentrate on story, allowed the top artists, draftsmen and stylists an avenue for their creativity and brought back the job of "director" to cartoons. Not merely a "sheet-timer" as many people think of direction, but a true director who could follow the creativity of the film from beginning to the end of production and make the cartoon unique and filled with original specific ideas and drawings, not just another assembly line product.
The rest of the Spumco production system was built around this fundamental part of the creative process.
BTW, I added an overview of my ideal cartoon college curriculum:

Sort of, I had a idea for a fanfic that I couldn't pass up. It's VC unrelated, its a Dragon Age 2 fanfic. It was burning in my brain so much that once I opened up word processor, I started typing it instead of the Noel one. I wanted to get it down before I forgot.
I'll get back on the Noel one later, hopefully soon, even more hopeful I'll get it tonight sometime *A better preview, but for now, here's what I got.*
Spoiler for Noel tiny preview:
It was quite difficult deciding where to start, and I'm not sure if this is the right way. I decided to start AFTER the battle, right down in the basement to begin with. What do ya think? Or should I start earlier?
Where it is now, it shows where the girls will end up, but Noel will think back to how they came to be here. Still... it doesn't quite sound good. Maybe I'll change it later, thoughts?

Well you certainly know what I've been doing with all my freetime :P The number of fics I've completed and the number more that i'm currently juggling and those near completion.
I don't have anything lined up for summer yet jobwise, think i'll have more time to write/read and do all that stuff. But for now, works killing and I like to add bits to my own fics when I have the time. Don't worry, you'll get a review from me, I read it all the way up till your latest chapter.
And it seems alot of our old comrades in here and over at fanfiction have gone MIA. I still want to read more Wolf Spider , but I ain't seen or heard from Huhn in months, same with DC20, two of my favorite reviewers and yourself, but you're constantly around, which is good.

You know, Snowman, thinking a good deal on it, that Magari flick you were writing seemed to, well, center a good deal more on Rene. Don't get me wrong; it's still very good stuff, but it seems more like Magari was a plot object rather than the character getting the most development. I still say at some point you should finish it, but probably it could considered Rene's one-shot instead of Magari's.
Don't fret, however. I have another idea on a Magari flick set-up.
Spoiler for Magari:

Let me first state that I originally came up with the idea as something for any takers. But if you guys want me to write it, well, shucks, I guess I'll try to do it justice. I'll need some help, though.

Well, if fate does work in strange ways, perhaps things will indeed be different.
Growing up in the lab might twist Alicia's personality, just as living in an orphanage might widen Selvaria's heart. Can go either way, really.

A 25-year-old Iraq war veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL and American Sniper author Chris Kyle and his friend shot the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities say.
Eddie Ray Routh of Lancaster was arraigned early on Sunday on two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at the shooting range about 80km southwest of Fort Worth.
Captain Jason Upshaw with the Erath County Sheriff's Office said Routh used a semi-automatic handgun, which authorities later found at his home.
Upshaw said ballistics tests weren't complete on Sunday but authorities believe the gun was used in the shootings.
Upshaw declined to give any more details about the gun.
Routh has not made any comments indicating what his motive may have been, Upshaw said.
Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Routh was unemployed and "may have been suffering from some type of mental illness from being in the military himself," but he didn't know if Routh was on any medication.
"I don't know that we'll ever know. He's the only one that knows that," Upshaw said.
The US military confirmed on Sunday that Routh was a corporal in the marines from June 2006 to January 2010.
He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010.
His current duty status is listed as reserve.
Routh is being held on $US3 million bond.
Authorities did not know whether Routh had a lawyer yet.
Kyle, a decorated veteran, wrote the best-selling book, American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History, detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.
Kyle said in his book that Iraqi insurgents had put a bounty on his head.
According to promotional information from book publisher William Morrow, Kyle deployed to Iraq four times.
Bryant said the trio went to the shooting range about 3.15pm on Saturday.
A hunting guide came across the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield about 5pm and called 911.
Upshaw said autopsies were still pending and he could not say how many times the men were shot or where on their bodies they were hit.
After the shootings, Routh left the shooting range in Kyle's black pickup truck, Bryant said, first going to his sister's home in Midlothian, where he told her and her husband what he had done.
The couple called local police.
Routh arrived at his home in Lancaster, about 30km southeast of Dallas, at about 8pm.
Police arrested him after a brief pursuit and took him to the Lancaster Police Department.
Travis Cox, the director of a nonprofit Kyle helped found, said on Sunday that Kyle and Littlefield had taken Routh to the range.
Littlefield was Kyle's neighbour and "workout buddy," Cox said.
"What I know is Chris and a gentleman - great guy, I knew him well, Chad Littlefield - took a veteran out shooting who was struggling with PTSD to try to assist him, try to help him, try to, you know, give him a helping hand and he turned the gun on both of them, killing them," Cox said.
A knock on the door at Routh's last known address went unanswered on Sunday and a for-sale sign was in front of the small, wood-framed home.
Kyle's nonprofit, FITCO Cares, provides at-home fitness equipment for emotionally and physically wounded veterans.
"Chris was literally the type of guy if you were a veteran and needed help he'd help you," Cox said.
"And from my understanding that's what happened here. I don't know how he came in contact with this gentleman, but I do know that it was not through the foundation."
Cox described Littlefield as a gentle, kind-hearted man who often called or emailed him with ideas for events or fundraisers to help veterans.
"It was just two great guys with Chad and Chris trying to help out a veteran in need and making time out of their day to help him. And to give him a hand. And unfortunately this thing happened," Cox said.
Bryant seemed to confirm that scenario.
The sheriff said Routh's mother "may have reached out to Mr Kyle to try to help her son".
"We kind of have an idea that maybe that's why they were at the range for some type of therapy that Mr Kyle assists people with. And I don't know if it's called shooting therapy, I don't have any idea," Bryant said.
Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver, who served with Kyle on SEAL Team 3 in Iraq in 2006, called Kyle a champion of the modern battlefield.
Denver wasn't surprised that Kyle apparently used a shooting range to help someone with PTSD.

Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger: The Crispy Cook's Smoky Sweet Potato Soup Recipe Reviewed
When I first began the Adopt-a-Gluten-Free-Blogger Event, I had several reasons for doing this. First, I thought it would be great to get to know each other as individuals and each other's food philosophy or style. I also thought it would be nice to have incentive to actually try and review some of the great recipes on other gluten-free blogs. And finally, I hoped it would be a good way to bring us together as a community. Recently I started introducing themes to the event to make the roundup more useful to readers. I started with a holiday celebration theme, and then most recently, had a Healthy Resolution theme for this January. Sometimes the gluten-free community has a serious sweet tooth, and we can concentrate on sweet recipes and bread-type recipes, neglecting some of the delightful healthy vegetable or protein recipes on our favorite gluten-free blogs.
Well, this month in the spirit of health, I adopted The Crispy Cook and searched her blog for an enticing and healthy recipe. I finally chose her Smoky Sweet Potato Soup Recipe because I'm always looking for more ways to prepare sweet potatoes. I found myself with a little bit of a conundrum as I began preparing it. I am firmly committed to NOT modifying adopted recipes as it is one of our most basic rules of AAGFB. Unfortunately lately garlic hasn't agreed with me, so I was nervous about using four cloves in the recipe. My compromise was to reduce the garlic to two cloves and sauteed them whole to add subtle flavor and then remove them before pureeing the soup. Also, I have a long standing policy of leaving celery out of recipes ever since an unfortunate combination of the stomach flu and a celery stew in my childhood. I just hate the stuff. But, this time I resolved to trust the Crispy Cook and give celery in soup just one more try. Since it was pureed, I figured I would be less likely to run into chunks of celery flavor in the dish, and instead it would be diffused throughout. Finally, the DH (and lately me, a little) is very sensitive to spiciness, and I was pretty sure the chipotle peppers in adobe would be too much for him. Rachel did give us an option to use a teaspoon of red chili flakes instead, but said we might miss the smokiness. Luckily I have a solution to reduce heat, add flavor AND add smokiness- using smoked spanish paprika in recipes calling for chipotle pepper or chipotle in adobe. (Powdered chipotle would be a hotter option that would also contribute smokiness to the dish). Other than these very minor variations, I followed the recipe exactly as written. I was thrilled to use my immersion blender and find it worked beautifully on this particular dish. I like a nice creamy smooth soup (the less to find the celery, my dear), and was able to get a gorgeous, creamy orange texture. I served it to the DH with the fresh parsley and some toasted pine nuts that added the perfect nutty texture to the experience. I also made some fresh corn tortillas to go with it. Our verdict?
We LOVED it!
THANK GOODNESS we tried this recipe. I didn't know such simple ingredients could come together in such a wonderful way, and without milk, cream, coconut, or any kind of nut butter that I often add to soups. The sweet potato really sings in this dish, and you know, prepared this way I couldn't even distinguish the celery. It simply melded with the other flavors in harmony. The DH gave a BIG thumbs up, and I have to agree. We WILL be making this again. Thank you Rachel of the Crispy Cook. You shared a real winner with us!
But who Is the Crispy Cook, anyway?
When Rachel started her blog, it was called "Wheat-Free, Meat-Free", but she changed over to the Crispy Cook title last year because she felt the new name was not only a little more memorable but also reflected the meal-planning conundrums she was faced with in feeding a family of omnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians (one an on-again, off-again vegan that doesn't like nuts or most vegetables). Rachel's take on the gluten-free lifestyle is to try and cook things that are naturally gluten-free as much as possible. She doesn't try to recreate gluten-packed food favorites so much as seek out new foods and ingredients to expand our culinary adventures, a philosophy that I can thoroughly appreciate. Read Rachel's recent explanation of what her blog is all about
Personally, I've been reading Rachel's blog for quite some time and got to know her through her blog's inception as Wheat-Free Meat-Free. I appreciate her adventurous spirit, international and healthful recipes. Of course at first I identified with her blog because of its vegetarian theme, but I also enjoyed seeing pictures of her kitties and hearing about the bookshop she owns with her husband. I hope you will visit her soon and discover her blog for yourself!
Here are some other delicious recipes Rachel has featured recently on her blog:

Manchester wealth manager Andrew R. Worthington is the new chair of the Catalyst Endowment Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
The 20-year-old fund issues grants that support nonprofits operating programs devoted to health, housing and education, the Hartford Foundation said Thursday.
A new trend in philanthropy when it started, the foundation says a recent published estimate is that there are 800 giving circles nationally, granting about $100 million a year.
Members of the fund annually choose a topic of concern to study and hold meetings to learn from experts then make grant recommendations. The Hartford Foundation pools and invests donations from members (at least $500 annually per membership) to fund grants.
Worthington is a certified financial planner and partner with Lips Rousseau Partners, a wealth management group with UBS Financial Services in Hartford.
A graduate of Colby College, he previously held commercial banking positions with Shawmut National and Webster Bank. He also is an overseer at The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts.

TNSC Goals: 2: Develop Infrastructure
Goal 2: Create a self-sustaining infrastructure for the field of spatial cognition
- Establish a plan to continue the Spatial Cognition conference series, in a way that is self- supporting and that can thus continue after funding for the two centers ends.
- Strengthen Spatial Cognition and Computation, so that it is clearly the recognized journal central to the field.
Establish a well-structured professional society, with officers and by-laws, responsible for convening the Spatial Cognition conference series, overseeing the journal Spatial Cognition and Computation, maintaining the Spatial Network listserv, and maintaining a website similar to SILC's with resources for the TNSC community.

Researchers Take Virus-tracking Software Worldwide
Note: The following news release is being issued by the Ohio Superconductor Center. It describes the expansion of virus-tracking software that was developed by researchers and engineers at the American Museum of Natural History, The Ohio State University, and the Ohio Superconductor Center.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A biomedical informatics researcher who tracks dangerous viruses as they spread around the globe has restructured his innovative tracking software to promote even wider use of the program around the world.
Associate Professor Daniel Janies, an expert in computational genomics at the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University (OSU), is working with software engineers at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) to expand the reach of SUPRAMAP (supramap.org), a web-based application that synthesizes large, diverse datasets so that researchers can better understand the spread of infectious diseases across hosts and geography. By separating SUPRAMAP's client application from the underlying server software, the goal is to reconfigure the server in a way that researchers and public safety officials can develop other front-end applications that draw on the logic and computing resources of SUPRAMAP.
Janies and his colleagues at Ohio State, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and OSC developed SUPRAMAP in 2007 to track the spread and evolution of pandemic (H1N1) and avian influenza (H5N1).
"Using SUPRAMAP, we initially developed maps that illustrated the spread of drug-resistant influenza and host shifts in H1N1 and H5N1 influenza and in coronaviruses, such as SARS," said Janies. "SUPRAMAP allows the user to track strains carrying key mutations in a geospatial browser such as Google EarthTM. Our software allows public health scientists to update and view maps on the evolution and spread of pathogens."
The original implementation of SUPRAMAP was built with a single client that was tightly coupled to the server software.
"We now have decoupled the server from the original client to provide a modular web service for POY, (poyws.org) an open-source, freely available phylogenetic analysis program developed at AMNH. The web service can be used by other researchers with new ideas, data, and clients to create novel applications," said Ward Wheeler, curator-in-charge of scientific computing at AMNH and a coauthor with Janies and others on a recent article about the project in the journal Cladistics.
"To demonstrate the POY web service, we have produced a new client software application, GEOGENES (www.geogenes.org)" said Wheeler. "Unlike in SUPRAMAP, in which the user is required to create and upload data files, in GEOGENES the user works from a graphical interface to query a curated dataset, thus freeing the user from managing files."
Currently this service is hosted on large shared systems at OSC, the center's flagship HP Intel Xeon Oakley Cluster, their IBM Opteron Glenn Cluster and on a smaller dedicated cluster at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center.
"Decoupling the client from the server provides another advantage in that the implementation of the server can change to take advantage of advances in computing technology," noted Thomas Bitterman, a senior software engineer at OSC and co-author of the journal article. "For example, the recent addition of the Oakley Cluster at OSC has made available a large set of GPUs that could result in performance improvements."
To give their new software implementation a proper road test, the researchers examined groups of key mutations in a pathogen they hadn't tracked before – the H7 avian influenza virus. Infection of humans by the H7 virus is rare, but it has occurred among people who have direct contact with infected poultry.
"H7 influenza, like H5N1 is largely an avian virus, but infects humans periodically, and therefore we wanted to see how it evolves," said Janies. "We have shown that pathogenicity of the H7 influenza is highly labile on a molecular evolutionary level and has occurred independently in many places around the world. Now that the H5N1 papers detailing transmission among mammals have been published, we can next pinpoint the natural geographic distribution of key sets of mutations that could lead to human-to-human transmission. Our maps will allow scientists to better deploy public health resources to protect citizens and forces in the field."
Grant funding through the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and Office supports this Innovation Group on Global Infectious Disease Research (gidr.osu.edu) project. Support for the computational requirements of the project comes from AMNH and OSC. Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, Department of Biomedical Informatics and offices of Academic Affairs and Research provide additional support.

Emmie's "Bold Sea Blue" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Emmie
- Location:
- Lee's Summit, MO
- Division:
- Cool
- Inspiration for my palette:
- Having lived in beige apartments for the last four years I knew I wanted to have some bold color in our first house. When we moved in, the living room had dark brown woodwork and beige walls. I chose a bright white for the trim to make the room feel lighter. Blue is my favorite color, so it was just a matter of choosing the right shade. I went a little darker with the blue than I normally would have because the white woodwork makes the whole room lighter. I brought in yellow and gray with a fun accent chair.
- Colors used in my room:
- The walls are painted "Crusing" by Sherwin Williams and the woodwork and trim are painted "Alabaster," also by Sherwin Williams. The blue changes from bright and cheery during the day to jewel-toned and moody at night. Yellow, gray, and taupe are the primary accent colors.
- Tips for using color successfully:
- Choose a color that you love and don't be afraid to go bold. Trust your gut and don't let others talk you out of it. The painter we hired tried to tell us to use a mocha shade on the walls and cream on the trim because that's what he did in a lot of the high-end houses in the area. I don't care what the other houses look like, I want something that makes my room a space I love being in.
- Palette:
- Bold Sea Blue

I agree, Rudy. SAS was simply blah. They voted all the best players off too soon and left the really boring ones still there. I am ready for new people!
. I am anxious for S9...with peeps we've never seen or heard of!! It's more challenging...does anyone agree??
"On Tiga, you had a lesbian, a hippie, a homosexual and this neurologist who shaved his whole body every third day...When I left, I shook hands with the people that were there and said, 'Dont call me, I wont call you.' These are people I wouldnt pick as friends. There were some odd people there, in my opinion."
I hope they dont do another Survivor All Stars unless the winner is someone who actually played well the first time....thats why at the end of SAS I rooted for Shii Ann and Rupert and Jenna. Amber never really deserved to be an all star, all she did in Australia was cry and ask Jerri what to do

Amadeus Customer Story
- The time to develop and launch the solution.
- The performance of the solution in terms of document storage and life cycle management.
- The availability of a large number of loaded components.
- Control of development costs.
Background and key issues
Amadeus IT Group is one of the world leaders in reservations handling systems and a supplier of cutting edge technological solutions for the travel and tourism industry. Amadeus' clients are travel operators (airline companies, hotels, rail and ferry companies, etc.), travel vendors (travel agencies and websites) and trip purchasers (companies and travelers). Amadeus' payment system is based on transactions. In 2011, the Amadeus system processed over 947 million paying transactions.
The company's main sites are in Madrid (Corporate), Nice (Development) and Erding (Data processing center). Regional offices are located in Miami, Buenos Aires, Bangkok and Dubai. On a commercial level, Amadeus has 73 local commercial organizations looking after clients in 195 countries. Amadeus is listed on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges with the symbol "AMS.MC." On 31 December, 2011, the company announced a turnover with comparable data of 2712 million euro and an EBITDA of 1039 million euro.
In November 2010, Amadeus launched a complete management and reservations solution for hotel chains, named Amadeus Hotel Platform, which has transformed the way hotel activities are managed. Built around an exhaustive database and available as a "Software as a Service" model, it combines the functions of central bookings, establishment management and global distribution within a fully-integrated, single platform.
Content Management, one of the components of the Amadeus Hotel Platform, allows hoteliers to manage and distribute text and multimedia descriptions of hotels held in the Amadeus system.
And it's for part of this component in particular that Amadeus required the assistance of Alfresco for the storage, management and redistribution of the hotel description content, data comprising texts detailing the location of the hotel, the type of rooms available, and other facilities offered such as a pool, restaurant, etc.
The solution implemented
Amadeus' philosophy is to develop the services it offers to clients itself. Experienced developers and customer support teams from the company seek out innovative ideas that they then turn into reality and use to enrich the ever-improving systems and services in order to best respond to and anticipate customer needs. Innovation is in fact one of the driving forces behind Amadeus' growth and development. It allows the company to ensure a privileged position in relation to its competitors on a technological level.
In the context of deploying the descriptive content management arm of its Amadeus Hotel Platform – Content Management solution, Amadeus was drawn towards Alfresco's Open Source-based solution which offers exciting possibilities in terms of managed documents and has a greater number of loaded components thus limiting the number of settings it has to implement itself and ensuring top quality and efficient management of workflows. Moreover, the technologies used by Alfresco, Java and J2E, are already used by Amadeus.
The development undertaken was based both on customization of the core of Alfresco's solution to allow management and storage of documents, and on personalization of Share which is a graphic Web interface allowing interaction with Alfresco. Share includes innovative social features such as status, labels and content activity flows, ensuring increased user efficiency.
- The solution implemented is particularly efficient in terms of storage of documents, sharing with other partners and workflow management.
- The Alfresco solution has met Amadeus' needs in full and been delivered on time.
As Amadeus' technology is based on the principle of common sharing of innovations between its clients, the solution developed by Alfresco for Amadeus will benefit all current and future clients of Amadeus Hotel Platform.

MALDEF Condemns AZ Governor Brewer for Signing Unconstitutional Anti-Immigrant Bill
MALDEF will pursue all legal options to challenge SB 1070
April 23, 2010
LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, MALDEF President and General Counsel Thomas A. Saenz issued the following statement in response to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's signing of Senate Bill 1070.
"The extremely disappointing news that Governor Brewer caved to the radical fringe by signing SB 1070 launches Arizona into a spiral of pervasive fear, community distrust, increased crime and costly litigation, with nationwide repercussions. This cowardly gubernatorial act is the epitome of irresponsible leadership.
Nonetheless, the Arizona community is not alone. MALDEF and others will be pursuing all legal avenues to challenge this law. We have every expectation, based upon judicial precedent and unquestioned constitutional values, that SB 1070 will be enjoined before it can ever take effect.
One significant measure of SB 1070's patent illegality is that it seeks to implement Arizona's own scheme of immigration regulation – separate and in conflict with federal government policy – when our Constitution envisions a unified nation under one federal set of immigration regulations to be adopted by Congress and implemented by the President. By rejecting that constitutional plan, Arizona's enactment of SB 1070 is tantamount to a declaration of secession. In response, the federal government must act to preserve our united nation by clearly stating that it will not cooperate in any way with the implementation of SB 1070 – that it will not adjust or alter its immigration enforcement priorities to the detriment of other states simply to accommodate Arizona's most recent exercise in racial demagoguery.
At the same time, Arizona should brace for the inevitable response to its leadership's folly – decreased cooperation with police that yields higher rates of crime, decreased international commerce that has ripple effects throughout the state economy, and a significant waste of taxpayer resources on defending and vainly attempting to implement a deeply flawed law."
