It still seems a bit slow - taking 8 to 10 seconds to load a new page in IE. Sometimes when I click on a new tab and enter a URL, it says that it is unresponsive or is running a long script. It is a significant improvement, but still odd - feels sluggish.
I just turned off the AVAST virus protection and it is significantly more peppy. Do you think that the remaining lag is just due to AVAST?
My results aren't much different with Chrome.
Wait until it finds it then right click on the found services.msc and Run As Admin.
Find Windows Defender and right click on it and select Properties. Change the Startup Type: to Manual and then Apply. Stop the service. This should have been turned off when Avast was installed. Turn Avast back on.
Download HostsXpert from http://www.funkytoad...HostsXpert.zip. Save the file then right click and Extract All. It will create a new folder in the same place. In the folder find HostsXpert.exe and right click on it and Run As Administrator.
It will take a few seconds to appear. If the top line in the left column says Make Writeable, click on it and it should change to Make Read Only? If it already says Make Read Only? that's OK just go on to the next step.
Now click on the left column entry that says: Restore MSHosts file. Click on the Make Read Only? entry then close HostXpert. Run OTL again and let's see if the hosts file is happy now.
I ran OTL with just a SCAN and attached the log.
You need to back up any data you don't want to lose. Would be wise to get another drive and clone the old one before it fails.
Leave it running and see if the temps drop.
Also prop up the back of the laptop with a book (don't block the vents). Propping it up in the back lets the heat rise to the heatsink which should make it cool a bit better.
Tho on a laptop this can also be caused by a bad battery. Shut it down. Remove the battery and power it via AC. Once it boots run Process Explorer again and look to see if the Interrupts drop down to about 1.00 which is where they usually are.
Also try booting into the Safe Mode menu and choose the Low Resolution Option then run Process Explorer again. This sort of bypasses the Video Driver so if Interrupts drop that tells us the video driver is at fault.
I do have a bad screen - I have to connect to an external monitor to see anything - so I can't reboot in safe mode but I guess we can deduce that there is likely the video driver problem.
One thing I do get now on reboot is a message from Windows Defender that says "Application failed to initalize 0x800106ba. A problem caused this program's service to stop...". Is this because I switched Defender to manual?
However, from what your telling me it sounds like the computer may be on its last legs. I am backing up all of the data on the hard disk in case of failure.
I appreciate all of your help! Let me know if you think I should do anything else. The system does work much better, but I can tell it is not quite normal.
Might as well put the battery back in. That just made it worse which is really weird. Is this using the original AC adapter that came with it?
Then see if Process Explorer shows lower interrupts.
Battery back in and drivers updated.
Temp has been behaving - settled in at 48C. Interrupts haven't gone above 1 for the past hour.

Theatrical Review: The Taking of Pelham 123
In brief, four armed men hijack a New York City subway car and hold the passengers of said car hostage, wanting a ransom demand met within an hour's time frame, with the Transit Authority and the NYPD doing their best to save everyone.
That's the basic plot of any version of The Taking of Pelham 123 adapted from the novel by John Godey (and no I've never read the novel- though in this case, if one day I ever get the chance I certainly will). First given theatrical life in 1974 by director Joseph Sargent and starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw, it's since appeared in a more forgettable TV movie and now re-made again for theatrical release by director Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta.
Now generally speaking, I really don't mind the practice of re-makes, if something fresh can be made from an existing property and I'm interested in said property, then I'm more than willing to give the filmmakers a chance with it. This is one instance though when I've had my own trepidation about this, because the 1974 version of Pelham 123 is right up there as a movie that's really special to me and knowing what Tony Scott does with his films- bringing in a higher-pitched energy that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, well for myself, there was reason for concern. The thing that I like about the original, is that it is of the moment and very matter-of-fact in what it does. On top of that, the New York "feel" is extremely authentic to the timeframe the original is shot in, Matthau, Shaw and all of the other characters have a lived-in quality to them that doesn't really require any sort of expansion, and everything unfolds in a highly logical way. Plus it's got this tremendous score from David Shire that's used very effectively and not at all overdone. And "overdone" was the thing that I was most concerned about with Tony Scott's version of the film.
I still have a huge preference for the original, but I have to say, for bringing this property to the forefront with a modern audience in mind, I think Scott and scripter Brian Helgeland have done a pretty decent job and fortunately they've avoided some of the traps that I thought they'd play up- this being Scott's overdone style and a modern convention of doing something a little more wise-assed with some of the passengers held hostage (basically making sure that one of the passengers would have to be like Alan Ruck in Speed).
Other than the basic plot though and the lead character's last name- everything here is different from the original- the character name in common is Garber, that was Walter Matthau in the original (Zachary Garber), who was playing a Transit Authority cop, in this Denzel Washington plays Walter Garber (undoubtedly a tip of the hat to Matthau) and he's no cop, but a transit authority employee currently acting in a dispatching capacity. The biggest difference here is that I suspect Scott and Helgeland have seen messageboards and seen that a common complaint that comes up is "Where's the character development?" and so they decided to add a lot more weight to the basic character's of Garber and the antagonist Ryder, played by John Travolta, than what's shown in the original film- basically going for a more personal connection to these characters than what Sargent did in the original, which was make the situation one that was more black and white, and what Scott and Helgeland have opted for is something with a lot more shades of grey.
Fortunately, it works here, though my one caveat is the fact that the connection between Ryder and Scott is made pretty high-opera personal by it's end and that's something that I don't think needed to be done, but at least here it's more a moot point than what it might be with other movies.
The other thing that I have to give Scott credit for is holding back quite a bit on his style- oh sure, things are still highly kinetic, but not necessarily in the way Domino was, but still not as held back as Crimson Tide (my own personal favorite of Tony Scott's movies). It's not at all a distraction to this movie, so my hat's off for that.
Of the cast, well I think Denzel Washington is solid as a rock, and I give him kudos for choosing a role like this that isn't necessarily as proactive as others that he's done. John Travolta does a real nice job as Ryder, and coming off of the death of his son when making this, I think he manages something here that's pretty interesting, if quite a bit more over-the-top than what Robert Shaw did in the original. The original film also plays a lot more with the other three gunmen, and that's something that's not really dealt with here, but again this is going for something a little different than the original, so I won't hold that against this. Filling out the cast is John Tuturro as an NYPD negotiator and James Gandofini as the Mayor of New York, Gandolfini is solid as expected and it's really nice to see Tuturro play a part where he's not a douchebag. Tuturro's character also adds to what Garber has to do here, basically splintering off the function of what Matthau's character did with the original.
I saw this with three other friends, two of which have seen the original film and one which hadn't but plans to. My friend who hadn't seen the original really had a good time with this, and I suspect that others who haven't seen the original will probably have a pretty decent time with it as well. I've seen the original, and as I stated at the top, certainly had my fears going into this, but I don't think the remake does anything to tarnish the original by any means, and other than the basic plot, it's a pretty different movie. With that said, the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123 is a pretty taut thriller and I do recommend seeing it. But also, if you haven't seen the 1974 original and like to watch 70s films, then by all means if you have the chance, catch that as well…

Butler Board and Teachers Approve New Agreement
The Butler School District 53 Board of Education and the Oak Brook Education Association (OBEA) have agreed to a new five-year contract covering the 46 full-time and 10 part-time faculty members in the District.
The contract was approved by the OBEA on Aug. 16 and was ratified by the Board of Education at its meeting Sept. 4. The new contract will run until June 30, 2023.
Board Vice President Dr. Sally Beatty and Board Member Chris Edmonds represented the Board in the negotiations. "We are grateful to everyone who worked so hard at the table and behind the scenes to come to a collaborative agreement," said Dr. Beatty. "The teams devoted a tremendous amount of time, energy and thought to achieve the successful outcome of a contract that is both competitive to attract top talent and fiscally responsible to members of the community." She added, "and, we hope this sets us up for another successful negotiation to celebrate in five years when this one expires."
Key terms include:
● A graduated annual salary increase averaging 3.5 percent over the term of the agreement.
● Enhanced health insurance benefits for all members of OBEA. The Board will continue to provide contributions for PPO, HMO and HSA premiums. The Board and teachers will split the yearly premium increase equally each new coverage period where the increase is above 10 percent of the prior year.
● The retirement incentive option has been amended to comply with current state law. The contract also adds a second option for retiring teachers who elect post-retirement benefits. Eligible employees may choose to take a one-time post-retirement payment toward a 403b sheltered annuity provided it does not exceed the annual IRS limit, or they may elect limited Board contributions for single employee TRS insurance coverage (T.H.I.S).
● A 25% increase in educational reimbursement for additional qualified post-graduate work.
● Increased the starting salary to $49,000 for the first three years of the contract. In Year 4 and 5, the starting salary will go up to $50,000.
● The new agreement calls for increased investment by the District for extra duty stipends. The additional dollars will fund the following new opportunities, including: Exploremore Day Teacher Chair, Musical Artistic Director, Broadcast Club and Homework Opportunity.
"We are extremely proud of our teachers for their commitment to this bargaining process and for their commitment to children," said Dr. Heidi Wennstrom, Superintendent of D53. "We look forward to a continued focus on providing exceptional educational experiences for our students.
Ellen Wozny, President of the OBEA, said the negotiations were fair, collaborative and respectful. "We are pleased for our membership and enthusiastic about what this contract means for the future of our teachers, students and the District," she said.
"These raises are sustainable and provide a strong incentive for faculty while allowing the District to maintain our solid fund balances for future needs," said Dr. Sandra Martin, Business Manager for Butler 53.

Q: difference between datatable amd binding source/dataadapter? This may seem quite confusing and sorry for my bad english. So, while filling a datatable, you can fill it directly from datatable and update it with DataAdapter. So, what's the advantage of using a binding source if its just more coding? Does it have any other special purpose?
If possible, can you please explain with a example.
Thanks

A: I may be misunderstanding your question, but I'm not sure that setting up a binding source is really all that much more coding.  The advantage that a binding source gives you is that it provides a way for the data source and the data target (for lack of a better term) to be notified when changes are made to the data on either side.
For example, let's you have a binding source set up to bind an ADO.NET datatable to fields on a Windows Form.  If you update data on the form, the binding engine fires a notification and your datatable will get updated.  It works the other way, too:  fields on the form will be updated with changes made to the datatable.
If you don't have a binding source set up, you have to manually check for changes on either side and manually take care of keeping your data source and data targets in sync.

Q: VBA macro to automate Rexcel I would like to use macros to run my Rexcel codes, so as to automate the process by the press of a button.
#!rput  zz  'Sheet1'!$B$2:$B$1112
library(forecast)
zz <- ts(zz,freq=365,start=c(2007,121))

arimaz<- auto.arima(zz,d=1)
arimazP <- predict(arimaz,n.ahead=409)
write.table(arimazP)

Currently I run both the codes by right clicking, and then pasting the output. I tried rercording a macro for this, but did not work out. Please help..

A: once you have the table arimazP,
    RInterface.GetArray "arimazP", Range("A1")

Edit:
The following will be executed much more quickly. Actually, I wrote a Function that completely replaces the RInterface.GetArray (due to performance issues) for tables with/without row/column names. If anyone wants that let me know and I'll post it.
    Range("A1") = RInterface.GetRExpressionValueToVBA("arimazP")

Lega per l'Autonomia – Alleanza Lombarda (League for Autonomy – Lombard Alliance, LAL), also known as Lega per l'Autonomia Lombarda (League for the Lombard Autonomy), was a left-wing regionalist political party in Italy, based in Lombardy.

History
The party was formed in the run-up of the 1996 general election by the merger of Alleanza Lombarda Autonomia and Lega Alpina Lumbarda. The former was a 1989 split from Lega Lombarda–Lega Nord led by Angela Bossi and Pierangelo Brivio (wife and husband, sister and brother-in-law to Umberto Bossi respectively), while the latter was the political vehicle of Elidio De Paoli, who had been elected in the Senate both in 1992 and 1994.

In the 1996 election the LAL obtained 1.9% of the vote in Lombardy and none of its candidates was elected.

After a row between De Paoli and the couple Bossi-Brivio, the party was disbanded until 2001, when De Paoli re-organized it from scratch.

In the 2001 general election the party won 5.4% for the Senate in Lombardy and 0.9% nationally, as some disgruntled voters of Lega Nord and many unintended voters gave their vote to the LAL. De Paoli was elected senator with proportional representation, after he had won 11.5% in the constituency of Albino. There he stole many votes from Roberto Calderoli, deputy for Albino since 1994 and most voted Lega Nord in 1996 (51.9%), who was elected with a mere 44.2%.

In the 2006 general election the party was affiliated to The Union, the centre-left coalition led by Romano Prodi, and its 0.1% (1.6% in Lombardy) was decisive for the coalition's victory over the centre-right House of Freedoms coalition. Subsequently, De Paoli was appointed undersecretary in Prodi II Cabinet.

In the 2008 general election the LAL won a mere 0.8% for the Senate in Lombardy.

In 2009 the Ministry of the Interior assigned the party's symbol to Matteo Brivio, son of Angela Bossi and Pierangelo Brivio. Consequently, De Paoli returned to use Lega Alpina Lumbarda's symbol, with disappointing results. Since 2008 the LAL did not participate in any major electoral competition and Brivio joined Lega Nord.

Popular support
The electoral results of the party in Lombardy are shown in the table below. For general elections the results always refer to the Senate.

Bills Stadium, Orchard Park, New York Weather: 69°, Clear Attendance: 0
Seahawks-Bills Preview
Seattle Seahawks at Buffalo Bills
Heading into Week 8, the Seahawks were converting just 33.9 percent of their third downs, second lowest in the NFL (Jets -- 29.8). Seattle then went 9-for-15 on third down in their 37-27 win over the 49ers, a season high for third-down conversions (had no more than five previously).
The Bills defeated the Patriots, 24-21, and are now 4-0 in divisional games for the first time since 1991 (finished 7-1). The last AFC East team not named the Patriots that started 4-0 in divisional games was the 2000 Jets.
The Seahawks are 8-5 against the Bills all-time, including wins in each of the last two matchups. Seattle has travelled to Buffalo just four times in this series (2-2) and put up 50 points in its last visit (2012).
DK Metcalf is just the fourth Seahawk to put up 150+ receiving yards and 2+ receiving touchdowns in a game, joining Tyler Lockett (2019 & 2020), Brian Blades (1991 & 1995) and Steve Largent (1983 & 1987). Before last week, Metcalf had never caught more than six passes in a game (12 catches vs. SF).
After a four-touchdown performance against the 49ers, Russell Wilson has thrown multiple TDs in eight straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL, and tied for the longest streak by a Seahawk all-time (Wilson has done this twice previously, Dave Kreig, 1986-87).
Jordan Poyer now has three games of 10+ total tackles this season after having 11 in the win over New England. Poyer's 66 tackles are tied with Carolina's Jeremy Chinn for the most by a non-linebacker this year.
14 Takeaways 10
(AP Photo/Isaac Brekken, File)
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson isn't sure why everyone's suddenly going gaga over the numbers Russell Wilson has put up in Seattle this season.
Though the Seahawks might have Wilson throwing more, the quarterback doesn't appear any less than the dominant player Jefferson got to see up close during his previous four years in Seattle.
"To be honest, it's been what he's been doing," Jefferson said as the Bills (6-2) prepare to host the Seahawks (6-1) in a non-conference showdown of division leaders Sunday. "I don't know if it's just the media giving him more coverage this year, but I feel like it's Russ."
Wilson has stepped his game to another level by firmly thrusting himself into the NFL MVP conversation at the midseason mark.
His 26 touchdown passes and 120.8 passer rating lead the league, and he ranks third with a 71.5 completion percentage and sixth with 2,151 yards passing.
For someone who has never won an MVP honor, Wilson's career-long consistency is evident in how he's in position to become the NFL's winningest quarterback through his first nine seasons. His 92 regular-season wins are tied with Peyton Manning over that span, while his 101 wins, including playoffs, match the record set by Tom Brady.
"He's the best he's ever been because he's the most experienced he's ever been," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said of Wilson's development. "He's been able to grow and grow and grow, and he has total command of the game right now."
The Seahawks have needed almost every bit of Wilson's production overseeing an offense averaging an NFL-best 34.2 points per game, to offset a porous defense which ranks 24th in the league in allowing 28.4 points an outing.
Difficult as it might be for the Bills defense to contain Wilson, the emphasis is on their Josh Allen-led offense to rediscover its early season groove.
The Bills combined to score 123 points and generate 1,639 yards of offense in opening 4-0. They've gotten 75 points and 1,031 yards of offense in splitting their past four.
One reason behind the drop in production is how opposing defenses have begun protecting against getting beaten deep, forcing Allen to play with more patience in overseeing lengthy scoring drives.
Compounding Buffalo's troubles was a pedestrian running attack which appeared to finally find its legs in generating a season-best 190 yards rushing and accounting for all three touchdowns in a 24-21 win over New England last weekend.
WELCOME TO SEATTLE
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap is expected to make his debut for Seattle after being acquired in a trade from Cincinnati. The Seahawks hope Dunlap can apply more pressure with Seattle ranking in the bottom third of the league with 12 sacks.
Dunlap's addition would also reduce Seattle having to blitz linebacker Bobby Wagner, who earned NFC defensive player of the week honors with 11 tackles and two sacks in a 37-27 win over San Francisco last weekend. Not that Wagner minds.
"I'm all for blitzing," Wagner said. "I'm always telling them to blitz me more, but I do whatever the coaches tell me to do."
The game is another measuring stick for a Bills team leading the AFC East through Week 8 for the first time since 1996, but has come up short against the league's elite.
Buffalo's six victories, including two against the winless Jets, are against opponents with a combined record of 15-30. The Bills' two losses are against Kansas City (7-1) and Tennessee (5-2).
Having already faced Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes in a 26-17 loss to Kansas City three weeks ago, Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier knows he has his hands full again with Wilson.
"That's a scary thought because Patrick Mahomes is pretty impressive, but Russell is off to a great start," Frazier said.
Buffalo was effective in limiting Mahomes to 225 yards passing and two scores, but was burned in allowing 245 yards rushing, including 161 by rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Wilson has never thrown a pass at Bills Stadium after Seattle's previous road game at Buffalo was played at Toronto during the quarterback's rookie season in 2012. That doesn't mean he hasn't visited.
The Bills expressed interest in selecting Wilson, and brought him in for a pre-draft visit.
"It was a cool place. They love football, that's for sure," said Wilson, who scored a career-best three touchdowns rushing and added one passing in a 50-17 win over Buffalo in Toronto.
BUFFALO MEMORIES
Carroll has mixed memories of Buffalo.
It was where he broke in as an NFL assistant in 1984, before being fired after a 2-14 finish.
"I was always told the hardest thing to happen to a coach is you get in the NFL for one year and you get let go, you may never get back," said Carroll, who spent the next five seasons coaching defensive backs in Minnesota. "But I'm really glad I was there because it was a unique place and I enjoyed that first opportunity.".
Buffalo is also where Carroll earned his first win as head coach with the New York Jets' season-opening 23-3 victory in 1994.
AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.

Home National News Fox News Shares Story Fueling Hysteria About Yet Another Rapture This Month
Fox News Shares Story Fueling Hysteria About Yet Another Rapture This Month
Fox News, ironically one of the only sources for news that President Donald Trump hasn't impugned as "Fake News!" shared a story about a "numerologist," who believes the Rapture will take place on April 23.
Evangelicals seem to never tire of predictions that the End Times are nigh, and Fox is feeding right into that fanatical craving for the days of tribulation.
The article is feeding the latest wave of biblical paranoia, based on the words of David Meade, an American end-times conspiracy theorist.
"David Meade tells the U.K.'s Daily Express newspaper that on April 23, the sun and moon will be in Virgo, as will Jupiter, which represents the Messiah."
Meade believes the alignment of the planets represents "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," heralding the Rapture when all the faithful float away and the rest of the earth endures the tribulation and the Apocalypse. How nice for the faithful, who can forget all about any responsibility they have to protect the environment or make the world a better place.
Part of the fireworks Meade paints includes the appearance of a planet out of nowhere called Planet X, or Nibiru.
Sure, making a planet appear out of nowhere is feasible, but climate change –now that's just silly.
At least Fox says that NASA calls Nibiru "a hoax," and points out criticism from a young Earth creationist, Jonathan Sarfati.
"There is nothing to suggest that April 23 is a momentous date for biblical prophecy, and Christians need to be careful about being drawn into such sensationalist claims."
Perhaps facing some backlash, Fox News then shared another article later on Thursday, outlining the times that Meade and other evangelicals previously said the world would end, going back to the year 2000.
The article references Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who both claimed that Christians should have nicely raptured by now.
At least Fox decided to give some background on how many times false prophets have wrongly called out the End Times, but the title of their original piece is, Biblical prophecy claims the Rapture is coming April 23, numerologist says. The first line is:
"Is the Rapture finally here? One Christian numerologist says a biblical sign strongly suggests it."
The piece fuels the hysteria that they know is the kind of fodder their many uneducated evangelical viewers will relish. Instead of feeding the self-fulfilling prophecy of destruction for the earth, abdicating any responsibility for making that happen, and then enjoying a nice convenient escape for themselves, it might be a lot more responsible if they tried to make the world a better place that can endure for future generations.
Of course, if evangelicals really cared about the future of the Earth, would they continue to support a President who wants to pollute the earth in every way possible, and who threatens to go to war repeatedly on Twitter?
Here's what Mrs. Betty Bowers, "America's Best Christian," thought of Fox News today:
Hark! @FoxNews has given up pretending to be about anything accurate or real. It isn't even trying anymore. It's now just full-on, emotional porn for the perpetually paranoid. https://t.co/qPytKIeUK3

Real World Windows Azure: Special Edition with ADMIXER, Autocosmos.com, IT WORKS, and News360!
Editor's Note: ADMIXER is a leading web banner advertising company in Ukraine; Autocosmos.com is a leading automobile website for Spanish speaking consumers in Latin America and the United States; IT WORKS offers the largest e-publishing platform in Thailand; and News 360 is a startup online news personalization service.
Each of these young, innovative companies has grown rapidly, and they all share an ambition to expand their business and reach global markets. We spoke with principals at each company to talk about what led them to cloud computing and how they think other cloud services compare to Windows Azure. They each described the solution they've built and the benefits they've achieved by using Windows Azure to support their offerings and help grow their businesses.
We just started in 2009, and today ADMIXER delivers 1 billion banner impressions to 11 million web visitors a month. The advertising market in Ukraine is growing at 30 percent a year. We wanted to capture that business and grow internationally. To reach more customers, especially outside of Ukraine, we needed a scalable IT infrastructure that could deliver high reliability everywhere. We wanted to transfer our IT systems from on-premises servers, and looked briefly at third-party hosting providers, but we would still have had to own, manage, and monitor the servers. After a thorough evaluation of cloud services from Microsoft and Amazon, the only solution that we felt was able to meet our reliability and scalability needs was Windows Azure.
We completely replaced our on-premises infrastructure with web and worker roles in Windows Azure, SQL Database, Windows Azure Table Storage, blobs, queues, and the Windows Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN). We deliver 30 million ad impressions a day, and with Windows Azure we can easily double that load. We expect 10 times more customers and 1,000 percent revenue growth in the next two years, while we increase availability by 15 percent, all without spending one cent on IT infrastructure or expanding staff. The savings could amount to US$500,000 over three years.
Every month, Autocosmos.com provides automobile news, research, and an online marketplace for 4 million consumers throughout Mexico, South America, and the United States. In 2009, we partnered with the Latin American edition of a worldwide news and media website to put Autocosmos news reports on the site's Spanish-language home page. The broad market presence generated so much new web traffic for us that our hosted servers were failing under the load and our co-branding relationship was in danger. Back in 2009, we used Amazon EC2 to store classified ad images, but Amazon just provided rented servers that we had to provision and support, which required too much work for our staff. Windows Azure is a complete platform-as-a-service offering.
We initially migrated the co-branded news stories that experienced heavy traffic to Windows Azure with two mouse-clicks, and then decided to host all of our editorial content with Windows Azure and move the used-car images from Amazon into Windows Azure Storage. Today we are using Windows Azure compute roles, SQL Database, and Windows Azure CDN. By 2013, we expect to support the entire site with Windows Azure. Our web traffic can increase 10 times in very short periods, sometimes in fewer than three hours. With Windows Azure, we can instantly and automatically scale our resources, so we can add hundreds of users and grow this business beyond Latin America without purchasing new servers. When it's time to upgrade our whole infrastructure, we expect to reduce our hosting costs by 50 percent.
Since IT WORKS started in 2010, we have delivered more than 4 million publications to 1.5 million subscribers. Our Ookbee application commands 90 percent of the Thai-language e-publishing market. We hosted Ookbee with Amazon EC2, but Amazon just provided servers, and the service had been unreliable. We needed a cloud service that could help us build new features in Ookbee and gain the scalability and reliability we needed. With Amazon, we had to scale up our resources manually, and the service failed three times in one year. Once, a virus caused a service interruption and a lost revenue opportunity. We knew that such failures would be disastrous if we wanted to expand throughout Asia and beyond. When we switched to Windows Azure, the Microsoft team assessed our business problems and helped us design an architecture to resolve them. We never got that support from Amazon.
In May 2012, we began supporting Ookbee with Windows Azure compute resources, Windows Azure Storage, SQL Database, Windows Azure Caching, and Windows Azure CDN. As we move into media streaming, we will use Windows Azure Media Services. We want to use Windows Azure to expand Ookbee around the world, and we expect to grow our business by more than 10 times and triple our revenue. We've increased availability to 99.5 percent, which we estimate will increase revenue by several more percentage points—because customers have a better experience. We reduced our hosting fees by nearly 30 percent, and we have a great local Microsoft team in Thailand, which we never had with Amazon.
Karachinsky: News360 culls more than 150,000 articles every day from more than 20,000 different sources, and then customizes that information based on user preferences and behavior on social networking sites. We needed a hosting environment that would help us grow quickly to reach a global audience, and support a solution that would reach the widest possible number of users worldwide.
Aynurin: We were leaning toward Windows Azure because we use Microsoft .NET development tools, which would help speed our development of News360, and we felt confident that Windows Azure could deliver the kind of reliability that was essential to making the solution work.
Karachinsky: With assistance through the Microsoft BizSpark One program, the Mobile Acceleration Week program, and the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone, we created a different kind of service—hosted on Windows Azure—that can deliver highly personalized news on multiple mobile and desktop devices, and all major web browsers and operating systems, including Windows 8. With Windows Azure, we have the flexibility to grow and go global. If we put an update on an app store and expect 100,000 new users to access News360—we just flip a switch, and in 10 minutes we have enough capacity.
Aynurin: In just the first year, News360 is well past the 1 million-user mark in multiple countries. The fact that there are Windows Azure data centers worldwide makes it easier to distribute News360 and provide better performance for users in specific regions.
Read the full ADMIXER, Autocosmos, IT WORKS, and News360 success stories.


Cephalopod Culture is the first compilation of research on the culture of cephalopods. It describes experiences of culturing different groups of cephalopods: nautiluses, sepioids (Sepia officinalis, Sepia pharaonis, Sepiella inermis, Sepiella japonica Euprymna hyllebergi, Euprymna tasmanica), squids (Loligo vulgaris, Doryteuthis opalescens, Sepioteuthis lessoniana) and octopods (Amphioctopus aegina, Enteroctopus megalocyathus, Octopus maya, Octopus mimus, Octopus minor, Octopus vulgaris, Robsonella fontaniana). It also includes the main conclusions which have been drawn from the research and the future challenges in this field. This makes this book not only an ideal introduction to cephalopod culture, but also a valuable resource for those already involved in this topic.

The hit songs by these Motown legends became part of who we are, providing the Sixties soundtrack to our American souls. The Temptations and the Four Tops have always been a classy act, from their choreographed moves to their stirring harmonies.

excerpt of 'when i see you'
Blogger's Note: Enjoy this excerpt of Katherine Owen's When I See You, which I will review later, today. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more from the author.
She believes that love can never last, promises are usually broken, and true happiness is extremely elusive in the long run. He believes most risks are worth taking, the promises he makes can be kept, and love doesn't factor in his relationships any longer. They're both wrong.
Jordan Holloway has never fully recovered from the unexpected deaths of her famous Hollywood parents. At 27, she is still slow to trust and remains uncertain about the true duration of love and happiness. Yet, it's been four years since she fell in love with Ethan when he rocked her world even as he marched off to war leaving her alone with their young son Max. Now, Ethan tells her this will be his last tour in Afghanistan and that soon the three of them will be together. Still anxious at his leaving again, Jordan extracts a promise for Ethan's safe return from Brock Wainwright, her husband's sniper partner and best friend. But, can she put all her trust in Brock and can he keep such a promise?
At 29, Brock Wainwright fully embraces the dangerous life of a Navy Seal. He enjoys his freedom and not being committed to anyone; and, there's been a long line of women who can attest to that. Everything changes for Brock after he meets Jordan. When the two men return to Afghanistan, Brock's intent on keeping his promise to Jordan about keeping Ethan safe for a variety of reasons, including the most disturbing one of all, he is more than just attracted to his best friend's wife. This revelation plagues Brock on the battlefield and in a violent moment changes everything.
An hour later, the household has been fed French toast, and all the adults have been replenished with multiple cups of Brock's strong black coffee. Max is busy showing off his swing set and sandbox to the clearly hung-over Ashleigh and his daddy. I watch my son as he constantly pulls at Ethan's outstretched hand. His unmet need for Ethan's attention brings tears to my eyes, but our child's enthusiasm is contagious. I can't help but smile, when I hear Max call out, "Look at this, Daddy; look at this, Ashleigh," in his sweet, elf-like voice. I gaze at the three of them through the open French door that leads to the backyard and feel this surge of love for my little family.
A half hour later, Brock peruses the Los Angeles Times, while I decorate cupcakes for Max. Decorating cupcakes has become my signature specialty within this small community of Malibu. It's kind of a sideline hobby to my real job as head chef at Le Reve.
I look up. Brock watches me with the rapt interest similar to that of a small child. It reminds me of Max when he's mesmerized with a television program like Big Bird or Barney. The newspaper is folded up and lies next to his forearm.
I slip up with the icing under his studied scrutiny and attempt to refocus upon the task at hand by breaking eye contact with our unexpected house guest.
"Ethan tells me you studied at CIA," Brock says. "That you're a head cook, here in Malibu. At Le Reve, is it?"
I glance up from what I'm doing and nod, but looking at him is worse. The man continues to interfere with my ability to concentrate on the cupcakes for some reason. I glance away from him, intent on getting back to looping blue icing across the little cake's surface in a circular pattern, making ocean waves. I'm going for a Finding Nemo theme, per my three-year-old's request. He's taking the cupcakes to his play date with his friend, Davey. I hold my breath in an attempt to drape the icing in a steady wave pattern.
"Head chef at Le Reve. Before that, head chef at Rivera," I say. "And before that, I worked at L'Ecole in New York, even a summer in Paris." I lift my chin in defiance and can feel myself blushing. Why do I feel the need to provide my resume to this guy?
"Chef," Brock says with a wide smile. "Sorry, you gourmets are so touchy about titles."
"It's a big deal in the culinary world to be a head chef. It takes years to get that title and the responsibility that comes with it." I shrug, trying to give off an air of indifference, but even I can hear the edge in my voice.
"Okay," Brock says. "Head chef at Le Reve. Tell me what that's like."
I put down the pastry knife, somewhat disconcerted to be asked about the restaurant. Ethan sees it as a drain of my time away from Max, away from him when he's here. Le Reve is a source of tension between us every time he's home.
"There's a certain energy and excitement in running a restaurant every night. You spend your whole day preparing and planning, and then, the satisfaction of execution on a nightly basis is exhilarating. Almost spiritual." I smile over at him. He gets this disconcerted look. "There's nothing quite like it. Le Reve is small, only eight tables, but people come from all over to eat there. We have a good thing going. My boss, the owner, Louis DuPont, is from Paris. He's amazing and gives me a lot of flexibility. It's close by. Ashleigh or Mrs. Richards watch Max in the evening, and I try to be home by midnight or so." My voice trails off at the thoughtful look on Brock's face. "What?"
"Isn't it kind of hard to juggle all of that with Max?"
"It works. I don't know any other life. Of course, Ethan would prefer me to work part-time and be home with Max more." I hesitate, before saying, "Running a restaurant, making decisions about food, and preparing it is cathartic for me. I need to do it." I pause, experiencing misgivings about saying anything more, but somehow, needing to. "Ethan was gone when Max was born. He's been home three times in the past three years. I have a life. Here. In L.A. It works."
I sweep the pastry knife across the air in agitation and openly blush, knowing I sound too defensive. I take an unsteady breath. I've given too much away. "We make it work," I say in a low voice.
I look over at him. He's shaking his head. I'm unable to look away.
"You just don't know how rare you are. I think it's great that you have a career and still manage things with Max." He frowns. "Most women wouldn't put up with the long tours away from home. It wreaks havoc on a relationship. It takes commitment. Trust. It's rare."
"Relationships are hard, no matter what the circumstances," I say.
"You think so?" Brock asks. There's discernible disquiet in his tone.
The ground seems to shift beneath me. I reach out for the counter to steady myself. Yet, I'm unable to stop myself from saying more. "We sailed into marriage with all these dreams and made all these promises. We were so naive. Within fifteen minutes of meeting him, I knew how I felt about him and how he felt about me." I try to smile. "He swept me off my feet and I didn't hit the ground, until I was standing at the airport and watching his flight to Afghanistan take off." I smile, but then, it fades.
"At that moment, I'd never felt so alone in my life. And, there have been other times when I have felt pretty much alone." I stop, take an unsteady breath, and close my eyes, remembering the death of my parents and that exact moment when Ethan left the first time. I open them and he's staring at me intently.
"Alone. Eight weeks pregnant. Ashleigh and I had been in L.A. for a couple of years already. Then, I'd met Ethan and everything changed," I say in a low voice. I gaze over at Brock and then shrug my shoulders, attempting to lighten the mood at seeing the disconcerted look on his face. "But nothing really changed. Do you know what I mean?"
"Yes." Brock looks even more troubled.
"What?" I ask with growing trepidation.
"I was engaged once. It didn't work out." A shadow crosses his face. "I dropped out of my last semester of law school and signed up for SEAL training, then sniper school. My father wasn't too happy." Brock gets this bleak look. "Relationships are hard whether you're in L.A. or Austin."
Ethan and Brock both grew up in Austin. I pause in mid-air with my pastry knife, realizing that this is one more thing that Ethan hasn't really shared with me. I don't really know much about his life in Austin, before me. We rarely go there because his time is so limited when he's home.
"I'm sorry. About the fiancée. About your dad," I say.
"I got over it. I moved on." He shrugs and looks indifferent.
"Is that why you go through women like they're an endless supply of shaving razors? To defy your father? To prove you're over her?"
I blush at my bluntness.
"I suppose so." He tries to smile but it doesn't reach his eyes. I sense this profound sadness in him. "But razors aren't as sharp. Never disappoint. Never maim. Not intentionally, anyway; and don't require commitment."

Katherine Owen graduated with a journalism degree and a minor in English from the University of Washington and promptly went into high tech sales because someone told her it was fun and there would be stock options. For years, she damped down the urge to write and spent money like Evian water. But after a successful, storied career in high tech sales and public relations, she finally made what felt like a necessary, soul-calling leap to writing full-time in April of 2009. Owen has written three novels Seeing Julia (debut novel and Zola Award Winner), Not to Us and When I See You. She lives near Seattle in an old house with a fabulous view with her husband and two children. When she isn't writing, she can be found cheering at her son's football games or her daughter's volleyball games or heating up frozen dinners for the "fam-dam-ily" as she fondly refers to them.

Im looking for info on my 375 Stinger. I bought it as a project and was told that it was a factory project boat that it was brought up here to Michigan to have some experimental drive boxes installed that allowed the outdrives to be mounted closer together. From what Im told the project was a flop, the boxes were pulled out and the boat dissapeared, until it ended up at the repo lot......where I bought it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also how many 375's were made. I know they were supposedly only made for 2 years, 1988 and 1989, but mine is registered as a 1987 .
Professionals are predictable, however the world is full of amateurs.
I might know someone who would have information on your boat - please contact me a ccstinger@gmail.com.


by Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, Baltimore Sun.
Since 9/11, we have seen efforts by ISIS, al-Qaida and other violent extremists to recruit African American Muslims to their cause, preying on a collective sense of injustice and feelings of deprivation and social alienation from historic inequities. In 2008, for example, al-Qaida's then second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri sought to interlace domestic African American racial grievances with the global jihad movement, targeting and recruiting African American and Somali youth. A 51-minute recruitment video presented motifs of Malcolm X, attempting to exploit historical African American Muslim activism as a potential means for future radicalization.
In a few cases, such efforts have been successful: Edward Archer attacked a Philadelphia police officer after invoking ISIS, and Malik Alim Jones, a Maryland man, was arrested last year for his alleged involvement with al-Qaida affiliate al-Shabab. But the messages largely fall upon deaf ears in the centuries-old African American Muslim community, which has been a counter-weight against violent extremism for decades. Social scientists indicate that the vast majority of African American Muslims represent an example of synergy between American and Islamic shared values.
America is unique among all the major Western democracies in that it is the only country in which a sizable percentage of its Muslims are native-born converts of African descent. This group has flourished as part of the American experiment. The First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and religion have provided the foundation for the African-American Muslim community's success and resiliency. Members have fought in every major American war. They are doctors, lawyers, sports figures, entertainers and ordinary law-abiding American citizens.
African American Muslims and African American non-Muslims have been afforded a decades-long tradition of inclusiveness, moderation and coexistence with cousins, aunts and uncles who have worked side-by-side and shared Christmas, Ramadan and other religious and family functions.
We should ensure that the same vulnerable African American youth targeted by ISIS, al-Qaida, al-Shabab and other extremists are presented with these examples and achievements of the African American Muslim community in America and highlight another way to channel frustration and violence peacefully.
Notable African American Muslims like hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco, film producer Mara Brock Akil, and sports stars Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, provide examples of those whose vocal criticism of past injustices within American society has been channeled within public and legal parameters.
My own personal story as a third-generation African American Muslim, whose professional and personal life represents the rich tradition of a multi-religious and multi-ethnic family, is a testimony to American pluralism.
The new Trump administration has an opportunity to engage this community, which is integrated, hard-working and part of the social fabric of America.
