BGC Masters 2012 - Superb Robertson Conquers Murphy
Neil Robertson continued his excellent record in finals and was untouchable at times in beating Shaun Murphy 10-6 to be crowned the BGC Masters 2012 Snooker Champion at Alexandra Palace, London.
Alexandra Palace, London - 15-22 January
UPDATED DRAW - PHOTOS FROM MASTERS - OFFICIAL SITE
BGC Masters Snooker 2012 Final - Neil Robertson v Shaun Murphy
Neil Robertson's record in major finals before this has been impressive, winning all six that he has contested but snooker's biggest invitational event, the Masters has always alluded the Australian.
He managed to put that to rest today as he was outstanding in beating the in-form Shaun Murphy 10-6 to capture the BGC Masters 2012 title in front of a full house at Alexandra Palace, London.
In the afternoon the two exchanged three century breaks between them to go 3-3 but Robertson stepped up and made breaks of 72 and 59 to take a 5-3 lead going in to the evening's session.
Murphy pipped a scrappy frame when they resumed but Robertson hit straight back with a break of 101 to go 6-4 up and then nicked the scrappy 11th frame to lead Murphy 7-4.
Robertson then stepped up a gear with two breaks of 76 to take a commanding 9-4 lead in this best of 19 encounter, surely it was curtains for the Magician?
Murphy definitely wasn't going down without a fight and managed to reduce the gap to 9-6 thanks to runs of 52 and 86 and was showing great resolve under immense pressure.
But it was all too little, too late for him as Robertson produced a fantastic break of 70 to clinch the title 10-6 and was joined by partner Millie and young son Alexander for the trophy presentation.
Throughout the match, Robertson looked untouchable. He managed to find a great balance to his shot selection and his break building, safety, a long potting was excellent.
Take nothing away from Murphy, he also performed well in the match but it would of taken something special to have beaten the Australian tonight.
Apart from becoming the fourth person after Perrie Mans, Cliff Thorburn and Ding Junhui from outside the UK to win the Masters title, he also takes home to Cambridge the £150,000 top prize and the crystal trophy.
Also congratulations has to be given to Sheffield-based referee Brendan Moore who officiated his first Masters final tonight. I'm sure the first world final will follow soon!
A special note has to go out for the choice of the new venue for the Masters, it was a master-stroke from World Snooker to move from Wembley Arena to Alexandra Palace.
It was much more easier to commute to, had better parking and food/drink facilities and was just a much better venue to watch, play and report from and I hope the tournament stays there for many years to come.
Once again congratulations to Neil Robertson, the 2012 BGC Masters Snooker Champion!

The concept of Summer Heat is well known here in the Midwest, especially when it includes humidity. Those long, hot, humid summer days- often after a few days of rain and slightly cooler temps- leave one feeling sweaty, tired, thirsty and out of sorts.
In Chinese Medicine, "Summer Heat" is actually a defined condition including the above symptoms, but also includes feelings of a fever, very profuse sweating, possible wheezing or shortness of breath. It is caused by overexposure to extreme heat which is said to slow fluids and circulation in the body.
In modern times we have climate controlled buildings that help us avoid this overexposure, but at times it is possible to occur. After all, this is the time of the year where we want to spend a day at a festival, ball game, working in our gardens and yards, competing in a race (or a run/walk for charity). We get "cooped-up" by the cold winters and in the summer want to enjoy the outside as much as possible while the warm weather lasts. It's easy to overdo it a bit.
The proper diet to deal with this weather is one including light, hydrating fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, muskmelon, lemon and apple. Summer veggies like zucchini, summer squash, cucumber and radish are good as well. This is one of the few times where raw foods are recommended. Cutting out heavy, fried foods, less meat, nuts and grains is also recommended.
Place fruit in a large bowl. Mix all dressing ingredients well. Just before serving, pour over fruit and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves and serve.

Air NZ Cup to retain 14 teams for 2010
The New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) Board has decided to maintain the current 14-team premier competition and 12-team Heartland Championship in the same formats as the 2009 season for 2010.
After threatening to cull four sides – Tasman, Northland, Manawatu and Counties – for the last six months, the status quo has been retained.
The NZRU has accepted the need to give provincial unions, players, sponsors and fans some certainty as to their playing future next year.
The fact that several Provincial Unions had lodged appeals and threatened other legal action which had the potential to delay the confirmation of competition formats for 2010 was also a factor in the Board's deliberations.
NZRU Chairman Jock Hobbs said the Board and Management agreed that despite the significant amount of progress that had been made to identify and develop the 10-6-10 competition, the current collective employment negotiations taking place and other factors meant the proposed competition could not go ahead in 2010.
"A number of factors have changed since the Board made its decisions in June and July, Hobbs said.
"These include the fact that competition formats have become a fundamental part of the collective employment negotiations currently underway, the fact that we have appeals lodged by the Tasman and Counties-Manukau Rugby Unions and threatened legal action from other Unions.
"All of these matters were not likely to be resolved prior to the first quarter of 2010, and with outcomes uncertain and the need to create certainty for Provincial Unions and teams, it was not possible to go ahead with the new format in 2010."
A number of Provincial Unions had also made submissions to the NZRU which, in some cases, indicated a change in their position on the proposed changes or at least the timing of those changes, he said.
The Board's previous decision on the format of the domestic competitions in 2011 and 2012 remains as a 10-6-10 format at this time. This will be subject to continued negotiations with the NZRPA and the NZRU will be seeking to secure an affordable and sustainable player payment model and salary cap as key outcomes of collective bargaining. The format will also be discussed further with Provincial Unions.
In announcing the decision, Mr Hobbs and NZRU CEO Steve Tew noted that the initial impetus for changes to domestic competitions came from the nine non-Franchise Host Provincial Unions which collectively requested urgent intervention from the NZRU in April.
Mr Tew said the NZRU was focused on finalising a new collective employment agreement with the NZRPA, which will be critical to determining the costs for Provincial Unions and competitions in the next three years.
"Like all those involved in rugby, we have been greatly encouraged by the public's reaction to the Air New Zealand Cup in 2009, he said.
"The strong growth in television audiences and the visibility of the competition were hugely positive.
"Together with our Provincial Unions we now need to figure out how we can harness that interest and support in 2010 and beyond to sustain those teams and these vital competitions over the longer term."
A meeting of all 14 Premier Division Provincial Unions CEOs and the CEOs of Wanganui and Mid-Canterbury was held in Wellington on Friday to further discuss these issues.

director: Mikel Cee Karlsson
original title: Fraemling
country: Sweden, Finland
Mikel, director of the film, along with the protagonist Mathias, are childhood friends, nevertheless due to the time that has elapsed, the former finds that he knows hardly anything about the latter. The mad circumstances leading up to a fatal twist in their lives makes them shoot a documentary reconstruction about the process that turns into a very personal portrayal of a man who was made to live a double life against his will, the border between each one of them being as thin as a line drawn between victim and perpetrator in a ruthless criminal underworld. More than to the criminal plot though, attention is turned to stubborn attempts of a person dragged down by a spiral of serious problems while being able to wear a mask of seemingly happy and steady life.
Mikel Cee Karlsson (1977) is a Swedish filmmaker: before Fraemling, he made documentaries Hälsningar från skogen (2009) and The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of José González (2010). He also directs music videos, e.g. for Fever Ray or José González, among others.

Liberal-minded twenty-five-year-old Eva lives in Berlin, and none of the words used to describe her alternative life are entirely accurate. She is a wanderer, poet, lesbian, prostitute, virgin, housewife, drug addict, and model who decided at age fourteen that privacy was an outdated concept. Thanks to social networks, which she uses to permanently present herself to the public, we see primarily those characteristics by which she defines herself in opposition to majority society: an absolute openness in terms of showing physicality, sexuality, and drug use. Searching Eva is not just about the search for a woman whose body (and soul) have become a public spectacle; it is a multilayered film essay that explores female identity as such.
Searching Eva

East European Premiere
In an abandoned industrial zone at the foot of the Austrian Alps, a Nigerian mechanic lives and works by dismantling old cars and selling their individual parts, mainly to Eastern Europe and Africa. The documentary captures him during his work and while taking meditative breaks with a cigarette overlooking Erzberg Mountain, where iron ore has been mined since ancient Rome. The hero's isolated microcosm is observed at the very edge of economic activity, yet it is inextricably linked to global economic relations in Europe and Africa, the mining of resources, and the exploitation of profits.

A sensitive portrait of Daniel Spoerri that takes viewers not only to the workroom of this versatile artist, but also to his childhood spent in Romania where his father fell victim to the Jewish pogrom. In addition to Spoerri himself, his assemblages speak to them, breathing new life into various objects. They enhance the theme of rebirth around which the director constructed her own personal, fine-tuned film. - Daniel Spoerri (1930) is a Swiss visual artist and writer born in Romania. He is famous for his snare-pictures (tableau pièges), in which he places groups of objects found in chance positions onto a plane surface so that the resulting object can be hung up like a painting.

Three places and three moments spent with the Geneva Golden Youth. For his documentary, the director organized a workshop with students from the prestigious HEAD School of Art and Design in Geneva to get to know the young men and women who are well-accustomed to a life of luxury and who like to kill time having long discussions in the nightclub, snorting cocaine and sipping champagne. The director sees the film as a highly subjective vision, a kind of pseudo-ethnological work in which some formal elements show hints of irony. Here he acts as an amused moralist and observer trying to break into a world riddled with lavish parties, drugs and all-pervasive vanity.

A grandmother, a granddaughter and a dog. A path leading up to dying. Several timeless moments from the life of a sick woman enriched by the presence of a filmmaker granddaughter who captures the transient quality of life events and the gentleness of giving farewells through film. Behind closed doors, simple conversations, routine actions (a dinner) and handing over of experience (gutting the pig's head) unwind. The acuteness of fleeting moments is augmented by the dog's view. The projection of final moments in life captured by the eyes of the camera that of a devoted pet. An intimate balance of losses in one's life laid out on a ground plan of a family tri-portrait.

The body as a material sculpting object and abstract unity of functions. The body as a part of early traumas, ideological rejection, political censorship, persistence and ephemerality. The body as a concept of organization of extensive natural communities. The body as an empty shrine for further artistic use. This audiovisual essay in letters by Iranian filmmaker and British sculptor is a dreamful, intimate dialogue, discourse on the country's fate following the Islamic revolution, on family and a desire to perfect the female body devastated by malignant disease. A film conversation on the artistic reflection of beauty, memory, experience, fulfilment and inception of new life.
A Moon for My Father

The murders, which have steadily been on the rise since the 1990s, form the subject matter of this epic documentary depicting the horrific scale of violence in a crime-stricken, Mexican society riddled with corruption. The ghost-like appearance of the overall picture is reinforced by the chosen black-and-white material and the division of the film into chapters, capturing with almost anthropological consistency a series of testimonies from the bloody history of the country. The sun shines on the horror: the search for the kidnapped, raped, and murdered women and missing students, the murder of a photojournalist who pointed out the links between politicians and criminal cartels, the uncovering of mass graves on private sites.

Art experimentation, image deconstruction, observation process. For over half a century now, the pioneers of video art Woody and Steina Vasulka have been exploring human memory, media memory and memory of art as an institution. A taste of life-long cohabitation of this partner and creative couple presents a personal story of a journey along places marked by their common fate: Brno, Prague, Reykjavik, New York and Buffalo. The odyssey of artistic fame of the living legends is put in contrast with their fragile social world and uncertain life perspectives. The heritage of video art is structured according to the texture of media of individual eras of film (35mm, video and hard disk). Fifty years of avant-garde saved on an external disk.

International Premiere
Irving Park is a neighborhood in Chicago where the film's four lead characters live together under one roof. But their cohabitation has a rather unusual arrangement – they are all aging gay men practicing dominant-submissive relationships. This time-lapse film gets right in the middle of the action of this abnormal household, and through a seemingly primordial provocation that seems only natural and commonplace, such as long conversations from the Lord and his naked slaves, the film enables a sense of family reciprocity, unsolvable crises and daily inhabitation. As one of the cast members admits: we all live in acceptable relationships of domination and submission.

Streaming has become an unprecedented hit in China with a commercial value in the billions. In 2017, more than 427 million people could not get by without sharing the details of their pre-camera privacy. Whether it be an incompetent street dancer, an adult man suffering from a genetic disorder that makes him look like a child, or a slacker working in an underwear factory. The director watched dozens of these "newsmakers" and from more than 800 hours of absolute mundanity, she put together a remarkable collective portrait of a generation for whom offline and online worlds are inextricably linked, showing a fascinating testimony about the pursuit of rapid success and the loneliness and mere killing of time.

Multi-talented artist and Czech native Jiří Synek (1921-2017), known to readers as František Listopad, spent most of his life in Portugal, where he performed under the name Jorge. He was a poet, translator, theater and film director, organizer, and teacher, and as such had a large influence on Portuguese cultural life. He had a significant role in building the Portuguese television and film school. He also wrote continuously, and his poems and prose are an exceptional testimony to the melancholy of exile. The documentary contains revealing archival recordings and poetic sequences, presenting Listopad through his ideas and life philosophy.
Four Seasons and Autumn
Portugal / 2018 / 90 min.
A documentary portrait of the Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa is a contemporary audiovisual reflection on the meanings that objects, locations and sounds in films carry. The filmography of the director of films such as House of Lava, Bones, In Vanda's Room, and Colossal Youth is explored using not only his own words and clips from his movie trailers, but also a melancholic atmosphere and experiments with image and sound. Despite occasional glimpses into Costa's office, he remains an enigmatic personality, which we know only through his work and creative processes. How he thinks, what he feels, and how he lives must be derived from his work.


The Three Caballeros are scheduled to perform at the club, but no one remembers that Donald was the third Caballero (well, Pumbaa remembered). Determined to not be forgotten, he tries to be the most important performer of the group, re-naming himself "The Duck Formerly Known as Donald" (an obvious parody of Prince). However, everyone wants the old Donald back, making Jose and Panchito harass and embarrass Donald during their song.

Can Apple Shake Up the Electronic Health Record Landscape?
The Health app in Apple iOS 11.3's beta version contains a noteworthy addition.
The Health app in Apple iOS 11.3's beta version contains a noteworthy addition: the ability for patients to view their electronic health records (EHR).
The company made the announcement today in a new statement. Nearly a dozen leading health institutions—including Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles—will participate in the beta program. The framework is built on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards and the information will be encrypted.
Patients of the health systems will be able to see their EHRs in a under a Health Records tab of the Health app, organized by subsections for medications, lab results, immunizations, conditions, clinical vitals, procedures, and allergies. Users will receive notifications when information is updated.
"Streamlining information sharing between patients and their caregivers can go a long way towards making the patient experience a positive one," Stephanie Reel, Chief Information Officer at Johns Hopkins Medicine, said in Apple's statement.
"Apple is uniquely positioned to help scale adoption because they have both a secure and trusted platform and have adopted the latest industry open standards at a time when the industry is well positioned to respond," Darren Dworkin, Chief Information Officer at Cedars-Sinai, added.
Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams said that the company's goal was to "help consumers live a better day," and that it hopes to "help consumers better understand their health and help them lead healthier lives."
The company's official statement says the development is in response to the ongoing difficulty patients face when trying to acquire and view all their health information, which is typically siloed between various institutions and systems. Access to their EHRs in the updated health app will be as safe—or, only as safe—as the user's iPhone passcode
In recent years, the ubiquitous laptop-, smartphone-, and now smartwatch-maker has ramped up its efforts to enter the medical space. When it updated Apple Watch's iOS in September, it added the ability to notify wearers when it detected an irregular heartbeat. Later that month it was reported that the company was working with the FDA on a pilot program for new digital health device approvals.
The full list of participating health systems is as follows:
Johns Hopkins Medicine - Baltimore, Maryland
Cedars-Sinai - Los Angeles, California
Penn Medicine - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Geisinger Health System - Danville, Pennsylvania
UC San Diego Health - San Diego, California
UNC Health Care - Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Rush University Medical Center - Chicago, Illinois
Dignity Health - Arizona, California and Nevada

The Tamela Mann Collection is now available for a limited time and will include chic styles of jackets, tops as well as bottoms. Some of the colors featured will be shades of gray and black with floral print.
We wish the best of luck to Tamela Mann and her new journey!


The majority of China's roughly 145 million rural-urban migrants were born after 1980, making this population the "new generation" of internal migrant workers. Having been directly influenced by China's rapid economic growth and recent socio-demographic policy changes, this cohort of rural-urban migrants have different migration motivations compared to their father's generation, and demonstrate interesting migration patterns. The paper provides a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the new generation migrants as it reveals the young migrants' social goals, expectations, employment choices, and sociocultural integration in cities.
This research uses in-depth interview data collected in December 2006 and February 2007 in Guangzhou City and Bozhou rural areas. The first part of this research examines the primary migration motivation and reasons for migrants to relocate or change jobs. A variety of non-economic migration reasons were found, which expresses distinct new-generation characteristics such as being tired of school, being attracted by the city life or exploring the world. In terms of relocation and changing job reasons, intolerance of over-loaded jobs and adverse working conditions were frequently cited by the young migrants. They were also found to strategically change jobs to align with personal and career interests, which used to be a luxury for rural-urban migrants. The second part of the research explores a typology of the new generation migrants according to the social migration patterns: Career Builders, Family Helpers, Emotional Explorers and Lost Followers, with stories and quotes from each prototype. Then, the paper discusses how young migrants transfer from one type to another as they stay in the cities longer.
A version of this paper appeared in the Migration Information Source, the online journal of the Migration Policy Institute (Washington DC in January 2012).

After Crimea, West Now Believes Russia is Capable of Anything, Gontmakher Says
Yevgeny Gontmakher, a member of the Committee for Civil Initiatives. Photo: komitetgi.ru
Staunton, August 27 – After 20 years of assuming that Russia wanted to join the rest of the world and play by the rules (an assumption that was not without its own problems) many in the West now are governed by the opposite assumption: that Russia is capable of anything and therefore must be opposed, according to Yevgeny Gontmakher.
While Russians who now "spit on" Europeans may feel good about that, Gontmakher says, this shift creates a situation that is potentially extremely dangerous precisely because what Moscow has done and is doing in Ukraine touches the deepest beliefs that Europeans and Americans had assumed were beyond challenge.
For the last two decades, the Moscow commentator says, most Europeans focused primarily on the internal affairs of their own countries and assumed that Russia slowly but inevitably was going to do the same and that Moscow accepted its underlying values of "stability, predictability, and willingness to compromise."
As a result and until this past spring, Europeans generally passed over in silence over the gradual reduction in civic freedoms in Russia, Vladimir Putin's "harsh rhetoric" as in his Munich speech, and Russia's "armed clarification of relations with Georgia" in 2008. Those were treated as something Europeans could safely ignore.
But the Crimean Anschluss changed all that, precisely because it happened not via military conquest but rather in the remarkably peaceful way that it did, Gontmakher insists. That had the effect of raising the spectre that similar changes in borders could happen in Europe regarding Catalonia, Scotland and elsewhere.
"The most important part of the European mentality is the unwillingness to change the existing rules of public life. The times of revolution and shifts in borders are for our Western neighbors something of the distant past which cannot be repeated," the Russian commentator argues.
Now, however, thanks to Russia's actions in Ukraine, Europeans are being forced to focus on foreign affairs and to think what had been for them the unthinkable. "Of course," Gontmakher says, "one can only laugh over the fears of Estonians and Latvians concerning a hypothetical invasion of them by Russian tanks."
"But," the Moscow commentator says, "many residents of 'old Europe' sincerely believe in this." Having thought that Russia had become like them, they now fear that it is capable of anything. "this is already a very serious trend, which must not fail to worry us because of what it means for relations between Russia and Europe now and in the future.
Russians can bleat on about how "Russia is not Europe," he continues, "but they must understand that in the contemporary world the lines of division begin to pass not between different models of states (from the democratic to the authoritarian) but between the security of life of a resident and that which the Russian criminal world calls 'a life without rules.'"
"A typical European cannot imagine" that basic communal services won't work or that armed men will prowl the streets and steal anything they want (Gontmakher goes on saying that he thinks that "the resident of a Chinese city cannot imagine this either.") But when Europeans look at what is happening in eastern Ukraine, they see that such things can happen and not far away.
To the extent that they draw conclusions that are too radical with regard to what Russia is now in fact capable of, Europeans will not find it possible to cooperate with Russians against what Gontmakher says is the common enemy of Islamist extremism. And that will be yet another tragedy arising from what Vladimir Putin has done in Ukraine.

Somber 3M Outlook Gunks Up Industrial ETFs
Max Chen April 25, 2019
Industrial sector ETFs lagged the broader market after 3M (NYSE: MMM) cut its outlook and announced it will restructure its businesses after weak sales across key markets around the world.
On Thursday, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEArca: DIA) fell 0.5% and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLI) declined 2.0%.
Meanwhile, industrial stalwart 3M plunged 13.0%, marking one of its worst days since Black Monday on October 19, 1987. MMM makes up 5.5% of DIA's underlying portfolio and 5.4% of XLI's holdings.
3M revealed lower-than-expected quarterly profits, cut its 2019 earnings outlook for the year and said it will lay off 2,000 workers as part of a restructuring process in its overall business, CNBC reports.
The first quarter results were largely dragged down by litigation-related pretax charges of $548 million or 72 cents per share.
Meanwhile, sales in Asia-Pacific, its biggest market outside the U.S., declined 7.4%, while sales in Europe, the Middle east and Africa decreased 9.4%.
Scott Davis, chairman and CEO of Melius Research, pointed out that 3M's performance has fallen far behind other industrials in the first quarter but contended that the company's results aren't a reflection of a larger problem within the economy.
"We have other companies that have shorter cycle businesses, too, and they have not seen this type of decline. I don't think its broader than what we're seeing, I think it's fairly 3M specific," Davis told CNBC. "The long-term reputation of this company is they're slow to restructure, and when they do, it's not enough."
Looking ahead, 3M projected 2019 adjusted earnings to fall between $9.25 and $9.75 per share, compared to its previous forecast of $10.45 to $10.90 per share.
"The first quarter was a disappointing start to the year for 3M," CEO Mike Roman said in a statement. "We continued to face slowing conditions in key end markets which impacted both organic growth and margins, and our operational execution also fell short of the expectations we have for ourselves."
"As a result, we have stepped up additional actions – including restructuring – to drive productivity, reduce costs, and increase cash flow as we manage through challenges in some of our end markets."

5 - Carnival Doral
The Feb. 10 engine room fire on the Carnival Triumph didn't injure anyone. But the slow-mo PR disaster that unfolded on the four-day slog back to Mobile, Ala., knocked $2 billion off Carnival's market cap. The real stock retreat came in the ensuing weeks and months: Investors looked at the costs — lost time at sea, equipment failure, bad publicity — and Carnival's loss of pricing power as it discounted to woo the public back. By spring, $4 billion in market cap was gone.
Carnival, and its chairman, billionaire Micky Arison, have been there before. In January 2012, its subsidiary's Costa Concordia wound up on its side while skirting an Italian island. That accident killed 32. It also clobbered Carnival's finances and stock, but the company's share price rebounded within a year. It helps that Carnival dominates the industry with its 10 brands, 100 ships, more than 200,000 berths and a global reach. There are alternatives — No. 2 cruise company Royal Caribbean (No. 10 on our list ), for instance — but it's hard for the cruising public to abandon Carnival without abandoning cruising.

18 - Bloomin' Brands Tampa
When Bain Capital and Catterton Partners offered to purchase OSI Restaurant Partners for $3.2 billion seven years ago, the Tampa-based restaurant operator looked like a good bet. Best known for its Australian-themed Outback Steakhouse chain, the company's margins had been declining for several years, but sales growth was strong — the company turned a $100-million profit in 2006. And with more than 1,400 locations, the company owned lots of real estate. By 2009, however, sales had stopped growing.
Turnaround firm AlixPartners helped the new owners identify cost savings and recommended the appointment of former Avon executive Liz Smith as CEO. Smith implemented productivity and cost management initiatives that have saved the restaurant operator more than $200 million and helped refresh the company's five brands. By 2011, the Tampa-based restaurant chain, now called Bloomin' Brands, was back in the black, with a $100-million profit. Smith also developed a plan to renew growth that includes revamped menus and updated décor at the Outback and Carrabba's restaurants. Bloomin' Brands also has moved a number of its Outback restaurants to more prime locations, boosting average sales by about 40% at some spots.

29 - Citrix Systems Fort Lauderdale
"Work is no longer a place," Citrix President and CEO Mark Templeton told analysts earlier this year. That's good news for Citrix, the cloud-based software company whose strong suit is allowing people to remotely tap into their employers' networks and applications, enabling employees to log into Microsoft Word or Excel without having to install or upgrade software on individual computers. The movement to cloud computing suits it fine.
Citrix products include XenDesktop, NetScaler, GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC, the last of which lets people access their desktop computer remotely from a browser, Android or Apple device. Analyst firm IDC has rated GoToMyPC best in remote access for five years running. "While freemium products continue to exhibit growth, holistic packages such as GoToMyPC ultimately remain more attractive to the end user," IDC analyst Ben Hoffman said.
With so many employees using so many forms of mobile devices, Citrix offers corporations an alternative to deploying tons of different answers to get them all to connect — "any app, any device, anywhere," as the mantra goes. Citrix foresees a $16-billion market by 2015.
Citrix is still at the mercy of companies' individual IT budgets. It missed expectations in the first quarter and lowered profit forecasts for the year. Even so, it grew its workforce 19% last year and is expecting to do the same this year. "Consistently, CIOs everywhere tell me they are challenged by the transformation, consumerization and fragmentation taking place in computing. These forces are creating even more interest in mobility and cloud services," Templeton says.

Copying Gia's title after finding these forums and reading through her post with interest since I have been having similar thoughts.
I have been in the landscape industry for 25 years. I worked for a landscaper right out of high school for a few summers while attending college. That landscaper was also my college professor. I am a couple classes short of a 4 year degree in Horticulture.
After college I worked for a large wholesale nursery/commercial landscape/garden center for 16 years first as a salesman progressing to sales manager and then making the switch to Container Nursery Production Manager.
I left that company while they were experiencing some financial difficulty and have been working the past 7 years as the right hand man for a Lawn/Snow/Landscape contractor that takes care of a lot of town home associations. I oversee much of the landscaping side of the business as well as doing the lawn fertilization and pesticide applications.
So I have significant hands on plant material experience/knowledge. I have come to realize that my body wont be able to keep up with type of work that I am doing now for the long term.
I have always had an interest in the design aspect doing small projects here and there over the years and I am good with computers.
Located in Minnesota, and I would probably have to go to school part-time while continuing to work.
I honestly don't see enough vigor in the economy yet to sweep in everyone who is on the sidelines in LA, which I think is because most starting and mid career independent LAs have to compete for work vs. an elite realm of people with "connections," or else market themselves vigorously. Overall, to get a chance to do anything really exciting or challenging, you have to get a seat in a large multi-disciplinary firm. Then again, there was a contributor here that had "made it" quite handsomely in a few years of a solo career. Every generality has exceptions.
I don't know what I'd tell the British lady to do instead but she's may be overly optimistic to think that LA somehow is desperate enough for new workers that she can breeze in from a side maneuver like a masters degree. If the software has gotten too expensive or overwhelming in the field where she has experience, I think she would be better off looking into helping design firms improve websites with animation in their online portfolios, etc. At least she's ahead on that even if it would take some adjustments. Your question is a little different with the horticultural and construction experience already in place.
So this is a main point that you probably have run into anyway….there is a characteristic of landscape architecture & construction unlike painting on a canvas when the inspiration hits, or playing in a band who makes music for whoever will listen. It's more like making movies in that you must have both a CLIENT and RESOURCES to support your work becoming reality vs. mental exercise…and sometimes even if you think the first is tied down, you face later client loss of passion to follow through. Then to top if off, there can be just plain withering of funds or other priorities take over and sideline the project.
If you think you have the stamina to face all of that, well go for it. The big surprise losses happen in a lot of other kinds of fields also….whole buildings that never go up when land deals fall through, bakeries and bookshops and malls that close from traffic re-routing, locally produced textiles that get walloped by cheap imports, etc. Even Maya Lin designs have failed or never left the drawing stage. And what you say is true about the body limits (why my husband left horticulture for getting CNC machinist training), so there is that as well. I'm sure other members will offer other insights.
I guess my attraction to LA is that it is something that I can do into my senior years that also utilizes the experience of my career up to this point.
So even if it takes a little time to get there, it will be something that I am passionate enough about to continue for many years, and I will be better off than I am at the point that my body can't take the rigors of the landscape construction end of things.

Asus set to debut volume shipments of the $199 EEE PC
Asus has announced it intends to begin shipping the ultra low-cost EEE PC in …
Joel Hruska - Aug 21, 2007 11:01 pm UTC
Asus has announced it intends to begin shipping the ultra low-cost EEE PC in September. According to Asus, the E's in the title stand for "Easy to learn", "Excellent Internet", and "Excellent mobile computing experience." Asus reportedly plans to ship up to 500,000 of these systems in 2007, and up to 3-5 million in 2008.
As Digitimes reports, the EEE PC will be available at multiple price points, from $199 - $369, with the $349 model targeting the US mainstream. Overall specifications on the EEE are as follows:
900MHz Celeron-M ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) 353
Intel 910 Chipset
512MB DDR2-400 RAM
4, 8, or 16GB solid-state storage
ASUS-customized, Xandros-derived Linux OS
Dimensions: 225x165x21-35mm
Weight: ~2 lbs
Colors: White, Black
The variations in price are almost certainly due to the size of the solid state storage drive available within the unit.
At a potential $199 price point, the EEE PC could offer some significant competition to the OLPC initiative, but we won't
be able to directly compare the two units until we have shipping hardware available. By concentrating on the $349 model
first, Asus seems to be focusing on establishing a brand and market presence in the sub-notebook market first, rather than
attempting to go head-to-head with the OLPC's mandate of providing a useful computer to the developing nations of the

Halloweentown is a classic Halloween movie. If for some odd reason you've never seen it, I highly recommend you stop what you're doing and watch it now. But, here's a quick synopsis for you: The movie is about Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) who, on her 13th Halloween, finds out a teeny little family secret that her forbidding mom has been hiding from her—she's a witch. And so are her mother Gwen and grandmother Aggie. Her grandmother loves being a witch, but her mom isn't really a fan of the whole thing, hence the whole keeping it from her. Anyway, back in Halloweentown, an evil villain and dark force is trying to take over and it's up to their family to stop him.
1. Halloweentown is an alternate universe that would be awesome to live in.
They have a giant pumpkin in the center of town and goblins, trolls and witches/warlocks roaming everywhere. And let's not forget the comedic skeleton cab driver. Who wouldn't want to live in that town? It's Halloween 24/7 there.
2. It has three sequels.
A movie with that many sequels has to be good. But the first is always the best. And it was a Disney Channel Original movie, which we all know were the best kind of movies when we were kids.
3. Marnie is OK with being weird.
She appreciates weird things and being different. Marnie loves anything and everything relating to Halloween. She always knew there was something different about her and she didn't care at all. Marnie was a great role model for the kids watching these movies who were worried about fitting in and being liked by everyone at school. Let's face it, nobody wanted to be the kid at school who everyone thought was weird, but Marnie embraced her weirdness and make it seem OK.
4. Aggie Cromwell is the coolest grandma ever.
She lets the Piper kids basically do anything they want (which her daughter Gwen isn't really a fan of). She didn't yell at them when they ran away and followed her to Halloweentown, without telling their mother. Aggie has just enough crazy in her to make people think she's a cool grandmother. And she has a magical suitcase filled with candy. What kid wouldn't love that?
5. Sophie almost got that cookie.
Until her cruel mom saw it floating towards her when Sophie unknowingly used her magic. Then Gwen snatched it up and ate it herself to hide it from Sophie. But we've all been that kid who was told we couldn't eat a cookie before dinner, so we sympathize with her.


Can I get Life Insurance if I work on an Oil Rig?
It is possible to get Life Insurance when you are an offshore worker, most easily so if you are based in UK waters. Those in low risk jobs such as administrators, can often secure the cover at normal terms. If you take part in more hazardous roles on the oil rig such as heavy machinery maintenance then it is likely that your insurance premiums will be increased to offset the added risk of your work.

Q: Google Apps Script "Service using too much computer time for one day" Error I have begun to get this error just this week. I checked My Executions on Google Apps Script dashboard. But I do not see any scripts that are taking anywhere near the quota of Triggers total run time, which is 90 min / day for consumer accounts. This error tends to happen near midnight pacific time. So I am thinking near the end of the 24 hour quota period. Does anyone know what recent change Google has made that is causing this error? If I knew what Google changed, I could adjust my scripts to avoid the error.
I checked some other answers but they were not helpful because this seems to be a recent change that Google made.

The Increasing Role of Predictive Maintenance Technologies
Modern advances in technology are enabling manufacturers to streamline production processes and innovate at a faster rate than ever to meet the demands of a fast-moving market. While speed may be the name of the game, a breakdown or failure can bring everything to a halt. That's where predictive maintenance comes in to play.
You probably have some type of maintenance plan in place already, and it's likely a preventive approach. Preventive or predictive maintenance are how most companies do industrial maintenance — and both are vastly superior to the third alternative — reactive maintenance, which essentially is addressing a piece of machinery only after it breaks down. For more on predictive maintenance and its advantages, continue reading below.

This column was originally posted on Jeff Keller's blog, Jail Medicine.
I had a lot to learn when I began practicing medicine in county jails. One of the most important of those lessons was how to properly assess and manage alcohol withdrawal.
In my previous life as an ER physician I had seen a few alcohol withdrawal patients and even one or two cases of DTs. I thought I knew what I was doing. Wrong-o! First, I was unprepared for the sheer number of alcohol withdrawal patients I would see as a correctional physician. Alcohol withdrawal in jails is simply very common.
"Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide," for example, says that DTs occur 3-5 days after the last drink. While this may be true in the majority of cases, it is not at all uncommon for my patients to manifest severe alcohol withdrawal much sooner than this and also much later.
My record for the earliest manifestation of alcoholic delirium was a patient who manifested true DTs within 12 hours after his last drink. This patient became a frequent flyer and would reliably become delirious within 12 hours of arrest – until we learned to treat him early and aggressively.
I have only seen one patient with alcoholic hallucinosis that I know of over my entire correctional career. It has been exceedingly uncommon. I believe that there are two reasons for this. First, alcoholic hallucinosis is thought to be related to thiamine deficiency and my patients are relatively well nourished as a group. Second, like most jails, my alcohol withdrawal patients are given lots of thiamine as soon as they are identified – and for several days afterwards.
The hallucinations of the typical DT patient are different from those of alcoholic hallucinosis and, indeed, from any other kind of hallucinations. They are unique. The hallucinations of the DT patient are like this: the patient thinks he is in some other physical location and he is interacting with that location. For example, a DT patient could be fiddling with the wall at the back of his cell and when you ask what he is doing, he will say, "I'm just trying to get this microwave to work." In his mind, he is at home in his kitchen. Or he might be continuously trying to open the door of his cell, but in his delirium, he is at the store and just trying to get the door of the store open. DT patients are immersed in another time and place and are interacting with that environment.
Medical reference books, like "Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide" and "Uptodate" typically divide alcohol withdrawal into two basic stages: mild alcohol withdrawal and severe alcohol withdrawal (or DTs). However, in my experience, a recognizable syndrome of intermediate symptoms almost always precedes DTs: not eating, not sleeping, not stopping (relentless pacing), and tachycardia. This also means that once a patient has progressed to the stage of DTs, he usually is significantly dehydrated – because he has not been eating. More importantly, if we can catch patients in this stage of withdrawal and recognize it as "the Pre-DT syndrome," we can treat the patient more aggressively and perhaps avert delirium.
Many patients can be successfully treated with a single 10mg dose of Valium if given early on. If treatment is delayed until the patient has progressed and is sicker, it will take quite a bit more Valium to reverse his progression. But by the time a patient progresses to the stage of Delirium Tremens, he will need literally hundreds of milligrams of Valium – which is one reason why most cases of DTs should be treated in a hospital setting. Because of this, it makes sense to be liberal with Valium. One 10mg Valium given early in the course of withdrawal can prevent the need for much, much more Valium later on.
CIWA-Ar is, of course, the standard, accepted way of assessing alcohol withdrawal used almost universally. CIWA-Ar scores the severity of the withdrawal state by assessing several withdrawal symptoms. CIWA-Ar also recommends treatment based on the patient's score on the symptom rating scale. CIWA-Ar has been around since the mid-1990s and works OK-ish.
However, in my opinion, CIWA-Ar is a flawed instrument. CIWA-Ar has at least two major problems, and several minor ones. The first major problem with CIWA-Ar is that it does not incorporate the single best objective measure of the severity of alcohol withdrawal – the heart rate. In my experience, the heart rate corresponds very well to the progression of alcohol withdrawal. Patients with minor withdrawal tend to have normal heart rates – less than 100. As the severity of withdrawal symptoms worsens, so does the heart rate – predictably. DT Patients have markedly elevated heart rates – usually well over 150. I would be very concerned by a patient whose heart rate went up from, say, 80 to 110 even if her other subjective symptoms did not change. Heart rate is also an objective measure – as opposed to the CIWA-Ar scoring measures, which are all subjective.
The second major problem with CIWA-Ar is that it does not treat all cases of alcohol withdrawal. If a patient's symptoms are judged by CIWA-Ar to be too mild, CIWA-r says not to treat, despite the fact that the patient is, indeed, suffering from alcohol withdrawal. I have a serious objection to this. If we diagnose alcohol withdrawal, even in its earliest stages, we should treat it! Without treatment, most of these patients are going to progress. With even a single dose of Valium, many will not. And what is the downside? There are times to be stingy with benzodiazepines – but this is not one of them.


Imagine owning a high performance car and it's sitting in your garage. Imagine not having fuel, driving directions, driving rules and regulations or even streets to drive it on. How useful would that car be?
Now imagine having a computer lab or mobile cart loaded with state-of-the-art computers. How about every student and teacher having their own learning device such as a laptop or tablet and no plan! Think of professional development and student curriculum as the fuel, integrated projects as the driving directions and the internet as the Superhighway in which to operate those computers. Now we can go places!
The 3rd "C" of the 3C's model is "content". This is where everything comes together in meaningful lesson plans that teach as well as inspire. By taking an inventory of all the technology available to the classroom and the state or core standards to be covered, our highly skilled Integration Specialists weave exciting technology into relevant classroom lesson plans. Now the computer lab or mobile computer cart is part of the learning environment and the how, where, and why is all handled. We are going places!
Teachers learn the process of developing rich technology projects that motivate and inspire students. The simplicity of this method is that teachers do not need to do something "new" but simply need to upgrade their existing lesson plans with technology. The skill-set developed through our Integration component will always be part of their lesson-planning strategy. In addition, teachers can collaborate and share project ideas by simply using the technology they have learned.
The tools the students learn in the BEYOND Technology Education Curriculum are applied to relevant classroom projects. Technology is infused into the regular classroom learning objectives creating more effective and efficient learning. This leads to technology integration that includes classroom content that teachers already know. We do not bring a "new" curriculum to the table but instead infuse relevant technology into the content based lesson plans teachers are already delivering.

The Guest House
The Pierre Coulon Guest House, located near the intersection of Spain and Royal Streets, allows travelers to experience a bit of real New Orleans history. It is located in the Faubourg Marigny, one of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods, located a few short blocks from the French Quarter. The American Planning Association designated the Faubourg Marigny as one of the 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009 by APA's Great Places in America program.
The house is a classic example of New Orleans Creole Architecture from the early 19th century. It is located just 7 blocks downriver from the historic French Quarter, just 4 blocks from the vibrant Frenchmen Street entertainment district, and only 3 blocks from the St. Claude Avenue art galleries and music clubs.
Click HERE for a map showing the guest house location. Numerous cafes, small groceries, restaurants, jazz clubs and bars are located nearby, within a short walk in all directions. Ideal for short- or long-term visits: The Guest House provides comfortable and convenient accommodations for visitors interested in several days of sightseeing, or for extended vacations. It is also the perfect "temporary home" for the business or conference traveler. The New Orleans Convention Center, major downtown hotels, and the Central Business District are a 10-minute bus or taxi ride away.
Brief History of the Property:
The Guest House operates in the dependency of a masonry Creole cottage complex. It was built for a Frenchman named Pierre Coulon in 1831 by two of his sons, Victor and Alexandre. Pierre had emigrated from Marseilles, France in the 1780s to Grand Isle, Louisiana where he married Therese Rigaud, whose father, also a French immigrant, had a Spanish land grant. According to genealogical information from Coulon family descendants, Pierre operated a ranch on Grand Isle. Pierre bought this property on Spain St. in the Faubourg Marigny in 1830, and after the house was built in 1831, he lived there until his death in 1836. His family sold the property several years later, but his descendants continued to live in the neighborhood for many years, and many of them still live in the New Orleans area and beyond. The house changed owners many times over the years, and although a number of changes were made to the building over the years, it has remained basically intact. The present owners purchased it in 1999 and are still in the process of completing the restoration work.

* Thrash (Bear) now deals 15% of AP + 243 damage, down from 19% of AP + 304 damage. Bleed effect reduced from 3% of AP + 189 to 3% of AP + 152.
* Swipe now deals 171 base damage, down from 214.
* Brutal Impact now causes victims of Skull Bash to have a 5/10% increased mana cost on their spells, down from 15/30%.

* Shield of the Templar no longer reduces the cooldown of Avenger's Shield. Now allows your Divine Plea to generate 1/2/3 Holy Power.
* Guarded by the Light now increases Word of Glory by 15/30%, down from 30/60%.
* Shield Slam base damage has been increased by 125%. From 826-868 to 1871-1967.
Seems they're buffing warrior threat while ignoring our short cooldown issue, lack of a real threat cooldown, and potentially wonky scaling. Hey, at least big shield slam crits are fun, amirite?
We changed Shield Slam and Shield of the Righteous to do more base damage and scale less with AP. This was to fix a problem where numbers became absurdly large with a lot of AP, especially under the effects of Vengeance, dwarfing the damage done by druid or DK tanks. With these changes, a tank in heroic dungeon blues should deal the same damage with no Vengeance, but Vengeance will have less of an impact.
The coefficient for Shield of the Righteous was lowered from 120% to 60% at 3 Holy Power. The coefficient for Shield Slam was lowered from 75% to 60%.
Anyway, I was sadder at the GbtL nerf, the self heal is now increased by 15/30% instead of 30/60%. I surely found the talent more useful than Hallowed Ground, especially in a spec that otherwise had it's self-healing gutted.
We buffed Word of Glory base points for Holy paladins. We nerfed the Ret and Prot talents to keep it about the same for them.

Obama Should Honor Works of Faith
by J.P. Green, February 13th, 2012 11:02 AM EST
I trust that President Obama read E. J. Dionne, Jr.'s Sunday WaPo column, "Contraception and the cost of culture wars," in which he argued that the President crafted a good compromise, albeit a little late, exempting religious institutions and their affiliates from being obligated to pay for contraceptives.
Many progressives disagree, citing equally-persuasive arguments that it should be a collective obligation of a sensible society. On balance, it appears to be a workable compromise that most reasonable people in both parties can live with.
But the real gold in Dionne's column is in his eloquent defense of the much-battered Catholic Church's good works, particularly with respect to alleviating the suffering of economic hardship.
Those of us who are liberal Catholics have remained in the church for reasons beyond tribal loyalties or a desire to honor the traditions of our parents and grandparents. At the heart of the love many of us have for the church — despite our frustrations over its abysmal handling of the pedophilia scandal and its reluctance to grant women the rights they are due — is a profound respect for the fact on so many questions that count, Catholicism walks its talk and harnesses its faith to the good works the Gospel demands.
When it comes to lifting up the poor, healing the sick, assisting immigrants and refugees, educating the young (especially in inner cities), comforting orphaned and abandoned children, and organizing the needy to act in their own interest, the church has been there with resources and an astoundingly committed band of sisters, priests, brothers and lay people. Organizations such as Catholic Charities, the Catholic Health Association, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and Catholic Relief Services make the words of Jesus come alive every day.
Critics of the role of the Catholic church will have no trouble enumerating its sins against humanity down though history. But all the while the quiet good works by rank and file church activists to help the poor and oppressed noted by Dionne have benefited millions around the world. it's important to acknowledge that, even when church scandals dominate the headlines. In the context of the current contraception controversy, Dionne adds:
For liberals who sided with the church in this controversy, the most vexing problem with the original exemption on contraception is that it defined "religious" so narrowly that the reality that these organizations go out of their way to serve non-Catholics was held against them. Their Gospel-inspired work was defined as non-religious. This violated the very essence of Christian charity and the church's social justice imperatives.
…What bothers liberal Catholics about the arguments advanced by some of our conservative friends is that the Catholic right seems so eager to focus the church's witness to the world on issues such as abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research and, now, perhaps, contraception that they would effectively, if not necessarily intentionally, relegate the church's social justice work and teaching to second-class status.
Liberal Catholics were proud to stand with conservatives in defending the church's religious liberty rights in carrying out its social and charitable mission. Now, we'd ask conservatives to consider that what makes the Gospel so compelling — especially for the young, many of whom are leaving the church — is the central role it assigns to our responsibilities to act on behalf of the needy, the left-out and the abandoned.
And we'd ask our non-Catholic liberal friends to think about this, too. Many of us agreed that broad contraception coverage was, as a general matter, a good thing, and we shared their concern for women's rights. But we were troubled that some with whom we usually agree seemed to relish a fight with the church and defined any effort to accommodate its anxieties as "selling out."
Dionne applauds Obama for striking a reasonable compromise, but also for the strong stand he took as a young politician in 2006 defending "religion in the public square" and opposing stereotypes of religious people as intolerant fanatics.
President Obama would do well to celebrate the great works of the Catholic church at a time when many Catholics are feeling dissed by the negative fallout of scandals and unfair stereotypes. But it's not just the Catholic church. "Prosperity Gospel" protestant churches, many with preachers living extremely high on the hog and often reactionary politics, get tremendous media exposure, while thousands of smaller churches with great programs serving the disadvantaged and destitute in their communities are overshadowed. Non-Christian faiths have also made a difference for the better in their communities in numerous instances.
It's important that religious institutions should be recognized and uplifted for their charitable works, and the president who makes a special effort to do so could reap a bountiful harvest on election day.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk shocked investors when he tweeted to his 22.3 million followers on Tuesday suggesting the electric auto maker could go private at $420 per share, while noting, "funding secured".
Tesla is the most valuable automaker in the United States, and Musk's fights with investors - specifically short-sellers, who profit when the stock drops - are a running Silicon Valley sideshow.
"As the most shorted stock in the history of the stock market, being public means that there are large numbers of people who have the incentive to attack the company", Musk said. (Musk said in his Tesla blog post that he held a 20 percent stake.) He said that if the plan goes forward, shareholders would cast the deciding vote.
The tweets came after a report in the Financial Times that Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund had taken a 3%-5% stake in Tesla, a holding worth at least $1.9bn.
"In 2013, the SEC made it clear that people could use social media to disclose significant information about their companies, but they had a caveat, which is people need to know where to look", Pitt said.
Wall Street jumped on the news, spiking Tesla stock from around $342 a share to a high slightly north of $370 in just 45 minutes.
Musk has been in a very public battle with these shorts for years.
Tesla shareholder Quint Tatro, managing director of Joule Financial, praised the idea as "brilliant", adding that "Musk is exhausted of dealing with all the challenges of being 'public'". Employees would remain shareholders, and Tesla would be independent of Musk's other company, Space X, though the structures would be similar.
Bullish on the performance and increased production of "Model 3" cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now planning to introduce a mini-car.
He shared more details in a series of Twitter replies, noting that should Tesla go private, he'd remain in his role as founder and CEO of Tesla.
He said funding had been secured and that he would stay on as chief executive if the company went private.
Scottish money manager Baillie Gifford, which recently urged Musk to focus less on tweeting and more on running the business, is the fourth-largest shareholder, with a almost 8% stake.
Tesla lost US$717-million in the second quarter, its largest quarterly loss. I think he's serious.
"Given his historic frustration with short sellers, analysts and certain parts of the press, it is perhaps also not surprising that he has given consideration to taking the company private".
If that were to occur, it would be the largest deal of its type - moving the electric vehicle maker out of the glare of Wall Street as it goes through a period of rapid growth under tight financial constraints. Musk, 47, has already pledged some of his shares of Tesla's common stock to secure bank borrowings, according to a June 2018 filing.

Windows User Account Control (UAC) is a security infrastructure introduced with Windows Vista and has been included in all Windows versions after that so far. UAC limits the access to application software to ensure that they cannot perform actions that might harm the system in any way.
Because of how UAC works you might have noticed a few times that you are unable to edit specific files, getting an access denied error. The reason for that, as stated above, is because UAC is limiting the access you have to particular folders and files, allowing you in most cases just to view them.
In order to be able to edit a file that is protected by UAC you will need to access that file while having administrator rights. Luckily there is an easy functionality provided by Microsoft for that. Right click the application, file or folder you want to run as administrator and select the Run as administrator option.
That will give administration rights to the program/file you want to run, allowing you to modify the contents where in other cases would be impossible because of UAC.

She became a Reader in 1998, a Professor in 2000, Deputy Director of Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology in 2009, and its Director in 2012. She has run a large and successful research laboratory at the University of Leeds, and is now the Astbury Chair of Biophysics.
Her research is focused on fundamental structural molecular biology, specifically the measurement of the conformational dynamics of proteins and the elucidation of the role that these motions play in protein folding and misfolding in health and disease. Working on both soluble and membrane proteins, she and her group are using a wide range of biophysical methods (including NMR, mass spectrometry and single molecule methods), combined with other approaches spanning molecular dynamics simulation to cellular biology, to determine how proteins fold in all-atom detail; the mechanisms by which proteins misfold; how dynamic excursions enable proteins to self-associate into amyloid fibrils; and the complex macromolecular assemblies associated with some of the deadliest human diseases. They are now exploiting the fundamental insights gained to develop new strategies and routes towards combatting diseases associated with rare conformational states of proteins.

Pulmonary Complications of Portal Hypertension
Rodrigo Cartin-Ceba, Michael J. Krowka
Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
The most common pulmonary complications of chronic liver disease are hepatic hydrothorax, hepatopulmonary syndrome, and portopulmonary hypertension. Hepatic hydrothorax is a transudative pleural effusion in a patient with cirrhosis and no evidence of underlying cardiopulmonary disease. Hepatic hydrothorax develops owing to the movement of ascitic fluid into the pleural space. Hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension are pathologically linked by the presence of portal hypertension; however, their pathophysiologic mechanisms are significantly different. Hepatopulmonary syndrome is characterized by low pulmonary vascular resistance secondary to intrapulmonary vascular dilatations and hypoxemia; portopulmonary hypertension features elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and constriction/obstruction within the pulmonary vasculature.
