At the time the rescue boat arrived, the woman appeared conscious
in the water of the port side of the vessel. The Wenatchee had been
on course from Seattle to Bainbridge Island at about the halfway
point when a "Man Overboard" was sounded followed by "This is not a
drill". The crew responded expediently, reversed the ferry and
located the woman. I would estimate the time between the
announcement and rescue at 15-20 minutes total. The woman is
believed to have cracked ribs and was taken for a medical
evaluation after arriving on Bainbridge Island.At the time the

iOS app developers use a variety of tracking solutions to figure
out whether their advertising campaigns are working or not. In this
video, I show you two different apps, each with a mobile app
tracking solution bundled with the app. One overtly launches Mobile
Safari, while the other keeps you in the game experience throughout
the process. As a user, one is obviously preferably to the other.
As a point of disclosure, I blog for the company that makes the
second solution, but I genuinely had no idea the alternatives were
so annoying until I installed the Hotels.com app on my new iPad. I
love Hotels.com and have used them often enough to get a few free
nights, so this certainly isn't meant to be an attack on them. I
just happened to notice that they were using an overtly annoying
solution to track software

There are many different cases designed to keep your tablet safe.
The CaseSmpl cases are different in that they are designed to carry
both your tablet and some additional items that are handy for those
of us who bring a tablet to meetings. One of the things I really
like about the CaseSmpl cases is the strap on the outside that
allows you to securely grip your iPad or Kindle Fire as you carry
it in your hand. This feature makes sure you don't accidentally
lose your grip and drop the case with your tablet in it. Watch the

Private Cloud Solutions for Oracle Applications is a reference
architechture for HP customers to be able to deploy Oracle
applications quickly within a private cloud environment. This is an
infrastructure as a service combination of HP BladeSystem Matrix

and provisioning Oracle applications. One example of how this
simplifies configuration is speeding the process of moving to a
virtual environment and back again. A private cloud solution for

presents a unique challenge in virtualization, because Oracle
requires you to prove virtualization isn't the issue. The HP Cloud

Data IO can be one of the biggest performance bottlenecks when
working with Oracle databases (or any database) Connecting to a SAN
provides distinct advantages from an infrastructure standpoint, but
with a SAN connection, latency is measured in milliseconds, which
translates to a performance hit in high transaction environments.
The HP Data Accelerator Solution for Oracle, increases IO
performance by using the PCI bus to put the storage for writes
closer to the CPU. At Oracle Open World 2011, I spoke with Michael
