G Suite vs. Office 365

G Suite (previously called Google Apps for Work) and Microsoft’s Office 365 offer similar set of productivity tools. Which one should you choose for your business? Read on to find out.

Plug: TeamWave – Simple CRM, Project Management & HR Software for G Suite

1. Cost and Commitment

G Suite has straightforward pricing with two plans: $5/user and $10/user (monthly)

First plan offers:

  • Company email addresses (name@company.com)
  • Video/voice calls
  • Integrated online calendars
  • 30GB online storage with option to sync and share files
  • Online documents, presentations and spreadsheets
  • Easy to create project sites
  • Security settings and admin control panel
  • Support via phone/email (24/7)

Second plan offers unlimited storage with vault:

  • Unlimited Storage (or 1TB per user if fewer than 5 members)
  • Advanced admin control panel for Google Drive
  • Audit and reporting insights for Drive content and sharing
  • Google Vault for eDiscovery across emails, docs and chats
  • Searching and exporting to different formats
  • Email archiving
  • Retention policies for messages
  • Option to place and enforce litigation holds on inboxes

Office 365 has complex pricing plans:

  • Office 365 Business Essentials  ($5.00/user/month)
  • Office 365 Business  ($8.25/user/month)
  • Office 365 Business Premium ($12.50/user/month)
  • Office 365 ProPlus  ($12.00/user/month)
  • Office 365 Enterprise E1 ($8.00/user/month)
  • Office 365 Enterprise E3 ($20.00/user/month)
  • Office 365 Enterprise E5 ($35.00/user/month)

Without going to the detailed offerings of each plan, we’ll check out the comparable plans from Office 365 and G Suite:

  • $5/user/month plan offered by Google and $5/user/month‘Business Essentials’ plan offered by Microsoft
  • $10/user/month ‘Unlimited’ plan offered by Google and $8/user/month ‘Enterprise E1’ offered by Microsoft

Office 365 Business Essentials will cost $5/user/month with annual subscription, where as the monthly subscription will cost $6/user/month. Essentially you’ll save $1 user/month with G suite. Office 365 ‘Enterprise E1’ will cost $2 less than G Suite Unlimited.

2. Email

Although both Gmail and Office 365 offer clean interface, the major differentiation lies in the way emails are organised – Gmail lets you apply multiple labels to an email and Office 365 has classical folder structure to categorise emails. In terms of storage space, Gmail offers 30 GB (across Gmail and Drive) and Microsoft offers dedicated 50GB inbox in addition to 1TB storage. Microsoft’s Enterprise E3 ($20/user/month) offers unlimited storage.

3. Applications

Microsoft offers desktop versions of their products along with cloud based apps. You’ll be able to install the full versions of Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook etc. on your laptop/desktop and work offline.

Google apps were developed from scratch only for cloud-based collaboration. For example, Google Docs lets users make permanent changes in the file and provide feedback on the content in the “suggestion” mode (helps the author approve the final edits). Here are some of the advanced functionality offered by Google as part of the latest update:

  • Machine intelligence in Google Calendar to quickly find a time when invitees are free
  • Natural Language Processing in Google Sheets to
  • Machine intelligence in Google Docs to automatically recommend related topics to learn more and insert images
  • Dynamic layout suggestions in Google Slides
  • Better file management and granular content ownership with a focus on team in Google Drive

4. Video Call

Both Google Apps and Office 365 offer video conferencing solutions via Hangouts and Skype respectively. Here are the

  • Most important thing to note here is that Microsoft has not yet fully integrated Skype with other apps offered by Office 365 and Yammer.  But, Hangouts has tight integration with other Google apps like Docs, Calendar, Maps along with social networks like YouTube
  • Skype Translator can help you communicate in 8 languages for voice calls (near real-time), and in more than 50 languages while instant messaging
  • The maximum number of participants allowed in Hangout is 50, where as Skype has 250 as the upper limit

5. Third-party Integration

You’ll be hard pushed to find apps these days that don’t claim to integrate with G Suite. Google’s integration with CRM, productivity and customer service software means you have many options. For example, TeamWave (Project management, CRM & HR software for small business) is fully integrated with GDrive, Google Hangouts, etc.

There are some very popular productivity apps that do not have integration with Office 365 because Microsoft is not perceived as developer friendly (in comparison to Google)

6. Security

Office 365 comes with Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) – a new email filtering service that provides additional protection by targeting specific advanced threats like unknown malware and viruses, real-time, time-of-click protection against malicious URLs.

Google uses its robust machine learning capabilities to detect suspicious logins and block most advanced types of spam. Note that Google also automatically scans every email attachment before a user downloads it in order to prevent spread of viruses.

7. Compatibility

Microsoft files can be uploaded to Google Drive, but a lot of features won’t be supported by Google and formatting will be lost as well. G Suite Sync for Outlook can sync your mail, contacts, calendar events, Outlook notes, and tasks between your Google profile in Outlook and your G Suite account in the cloud.

You can download Google Drive files (docs, spreadsheets, slides, etc.) to your desktop and easily edit them with Office apps.

8. Support

Both Google Apps and Office 365 offer 24/7 phone support in English and depending on the country, language can change. While email support is available for both products; Google provides additional support via live chat. You can also access forums to seek clarification, give feedback and request additional functionality.

9. Storage Options

All of the plans offered by Office 365 come with 1TB storage for each user, where as Google’s starter plan gives 30GB. Note that Google considers email storage as part of the 30 GB quota.

But, if you go for the G Suite Unlimited, storage-wise it’ll offer better solutions in comparison to all the plans offered by Microsoft. This will be really helpful if your company handles large audio/video files.

Bottom Line

If you are a small business (1-50 people) then go with G Suite.

Reasons to choose G Suite:

  • File storage: G Suite’s unlimited plan provides better value in terms of data storage
  • Scalability: You’ll be able to add unlimited users (the ‘Business’ plans by Office 365 have maximum limit of 300 users)
  • Collaboration: Google apps were built with a strong focus on collaboration
  • Usability: G Suite apps are easy-to-use and the loading time is also less in comparison to Office 365
  • Multi device: If your business uses various operating systems and devices, then Google is a better choice
  • Integration: Majority of third party apps offer native integration with G Suite, as Google has traditionally been developer-friendly

      1. Please elaborate on this answer. From this article it looks like G Suite is the best option, period. why is Microsoft better for larger companies?

RC : Password reset ( maybe ) broken ?

Edited Dec 14, 2010 at 12:15 AM Password reset : I can not login with the password that has been emailed to me.
Can you please check ?

Note : It seems that last two characters ( If ) in the mailed password are invalid ?

cNr8FVEuIf => cNr8FVEu

Is there an option to disable password reset ?

Dec 14, 2010 at 6:17 AM

Thanks, will look at this.  And having a disable option is a good idea.

Dec 16, 2010 at 8:09 AM

I couldn't reproduce the invalid password.  The password I was sent was ylh7kZ5H, and I could log in using that password.  An HTML excerpt of the email is:

Your password at "Name of the blog" has been reset to: ylh7kZ5H

.... regarding disabling password reset, that is now possible in BE  There's a new setting/checkbox on the "Basic" settings page towards the bottom to disable password resets.

Dec 16, 2010 at 8:04 PM

Somehow my old trusted news / email client Forte Agent adds if at the end of reseted password.

Anyway, I prefer to disable password reset or keep it as an admin privilege, for example one of the options in Control Panel => Users

JoshTeck announcement

While, of course, the bonds of lucre transcend such mundane trivialities as temporal politics, the current situation - brother against brother! - rends at my breast, occupying as I do the position of Patriarch of the JoshTeck family. While it gladdens my heart to see that some of my cherished kin have, like me, seen the perfidy of the Mad Prince for what it is, I note with dismay that some of my beloved customers continue to support his anti-commercial and anti-liberal policies.

Now, like I said, politics can’t undermine the binding ties of business kinship, so those honest members of the JoshTeck Family who have kindly paid their dues in advance can continue to trade with me unmolested, never mind that we don’t see eye to eye. I can’t promise that that will ever be the case; should a member of the Family turn his support for the Mad Prince into something a bit more definite then I might have to see about raising my levees a little, just to make sure that may generosity wasn’t helping to support that man’s crooked regime. Of course, if they would be wise enough to see the error of their ways and switch their support to the Demented Baron instead then such an eventuality would never be necessary.

For non-family members who continue to support the Mad Prince, however, I’m afraid that I have to look to the safety of my business. Trade is trade but nonetheless, I must support the troops. For that reason, henceforth, trades with any non-Family Loyalist Commoners will be charged at a rate of 2 coal and 2 resource per resource in return. Sympathiser non-family customers will be charged at our new special friendly rate - 2 coal and 1 resource per 1 resource back. Furthermore, I’m opening a new slot in the family for one lucky Sympathiser Commoner. Remember, for a mere 5 Coal or 1 resource per week, you can get all the trades you like at cost price! PM me if you want to take advantage of this great offer!

Thanks for reading, and I hope that we can soon all be united and friendly once again under the Demented Baron’s banner.

Shadow justice minister says libel reform issue would be a ‘priority’ for a Tory government

March 24th, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted by in Editors' pick, Legal, Online Journalism

The Libel Reform campaign, a coalition of Sense About Science, Index on Censorship and English PEN, yesterday said it had one major political party left to get on side: the Conservatives.

But following justice minister Jack Straw’s pledge of Labour support in parliament yesterday, Henry Bellingham, the Conservative shadow justice minister, said that if his party formed the next government they would give the issue priority – with a draft Bill by the end of 2010, according to the latest email update from the campaign.

“He indicated that the Law Commission would be asked to report urgently on necessary. The commitment to legislation from Bellingham is a major milestone,” the campaign’s organisers reported today.

Ministry of Justice to reduce success fees in defamation cases

March 4th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted by in Editors' pick, Legal

The latest on changes to libel and defamation, from the Ministry of Justice:

Justice secretary Jack Straw has taken action to lower the maximum success fees that lawyers can charge in defamation cases from 100 per cent to 10 per cent.

Straw’s Statutory Order amends the Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA) Order 2000 and is subject to approval from Parliament.

Full release at this link…

The Ministry of Justice has also published responses to its ‘Controlling costs in defamation proceedings’ consultation. More than 53 per cent of 57 responses were in favour of reducing maximum success fees.

Telegraph: Cap lawyers’ success fees in libel cases at 10 per cent, says Jack Straw

January 20th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted by in Editors' pick, Legal

Success fees for lawyers in libel trials should be capped at 10 per cent, Justice Secretary Jack Straw has suggested, as part of plans to boost freedom of speech and investigative journalism.

News organisations and investigative journalists in the UK have argued that the risk of huge legal bills in libel cases has had a chilling effect on investigative work. The use of Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs) in particular has been criticised, as these have under “no win no fee” terms allowed lawyers to claim a success fee of 100 per cent on top of their usual rate from the losing side.

Straw said such fees should be capped at 10 per cent and will undertake a four-week consultation of the proposals.

Last year freedom of expression groups Index on Censorship (IOC) and English PEN launched a campaign to reform libel fees and court proceedings and suggested that fees should be capped at £10,000.

But a Law Society spokeswoman told the Telegraph yesterday:

Reducing maximum success fees to 10 per cent would be tantamount to abolishing conditional fees and would thus leave people who have been libelled with no effective access to justice.

Jack Straw proposing ‘wholesale reform’ of UK libel law

The Sunday Times yesterday reported that Jack Straw is to ‘draw up proposals’ for ‘wholesale reform’ of British libel laws.

“The justice secretary says the large legal fees involved in defamation cases in English courts are jeopardising freedom of speech, potentially curbing vital debate by scientists, academics and journalists.

“The huge payouts awarded to individuals who successfully claim their reputation has been damaged has made London the libel capital of the world”

According to the Sunday Times, Straw was ‘impressed’ by the Index on Censorship / English PEN’s year-long inquiry into the state of British libel.

“The proposed changes are still under discussion, but Straw is keen to begin the process, which could involve a new libel bill, as soon as possible.”

Trafigura update: Jack Straw to examine use of ‘super injunctions’

The justice secretary Jack Straw will examine the use of so-called ‘super injunctions’ following yesterday’s Trafigura-Guardian row, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown told MPs in Parliament today.

As reported by PA Mediapoint on Press Gazette, Gordon Brown called secret injunctions, which not only banned reporting of a story but also the existence of the ban itself, an ‘unfortunate’ area of UK law.

Since yesterday’s events which saw Carter-Ruck abandon an attempt to stop the Guardian publishing a tabled question for Parliament, Peter Bottomley, a Conservative MP, told the house he was reporting Carter-Ruck, the law firm acting on behalf of Trafigura, to the Law Society, on the grounds that no lawyers should be able to inhibit the reporting of Parliament.

Carter-Ruck has disputed the Guardian’s account of events published on Monday evening, in a statement available via its website [Full contents at this  PDF link].

“There has never been any question of Trafigura applying for an injunction that had as its purpose the prevention of publication of any matter arising in Parliament.  No such application has ever been made,” it stated.

“Nevertheless, as formulated (and as The Guardian apparently accepts) the Order would indeed have prevented The Guardian from reporting on the  Parliamentary Question which had been tabled for later this week,” the statement said.

The Guardian stated in an editorial today that they were told not to report the question, in line with an existing order. “When we became aware that the existence of this order had been mentioned in a parliamentary question we sought to vary the terms of the injunction. We were advised by Carter-Ruck that publication would place us in contempt of court,” stated the Guardian.

Private Eye was the first publication to publish Paul Farrelly’s question, the fortnightly magazine proclaimed in a story on its site.

“The MP’s [Paul Farrelly] intention to test this conspiracy of silence [secret ‘super-injunctions’] by asking questions about it using parliamentary privilege was revealed in Private Eye 1246, which went on sale on 29 September – a full two weeks before the Twittersphere caught up with the story.”

“There is an emerging culture of anonymity in which justice is not even seen to be done, and that is an unfortunate, rather dangerous trend,” said Ian Hislop, the magazine’s editor.

“I thought Private Eye’s job was to expose this. That is why I decided to publish the MP’s questions as the first item in the parliamentary column in yesterday’s [Tuesday] edition of Private Eye,” he said.

“The questions mentioned a recent court case in which we were defendants and concerned a matter on which I had given evidence to a parliamentary select committee. It seemed to me impossible that, in 2009, there could be any reason why we would not be allowed to publish privileged material available from the House of Commons. I saw the questions on the parliament website and I could not think of any judicial ruling which could overrule parliament, so I went ahead. That’s what we’re for.”

But the UK injunction on the report referenced in Paul Farrelly’s question remains.

“The issuing by the courts of so-called ‘super-injunctions’ is rightly controversial and  a matter of growing concern,” MP Paul Farrelly said in a statement yesterday.

“That is why, using parliamentary privilege, I tabled these questions to Jack Straw at the Ministry of Justice as a matter of urgency.”

“The practice offends the time-honoured ‘rule against prior restraint’, which safeguards freedom of expression in this country. It also fails to protect whistleblowers, acting in the public interest. The huge legal bills involved in fighting cases, too, have a chilling effect on legitimate investigative journalism.”

Guardian tribunal decision is ‘outrageous’, says FOI campaigner

June 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted by in Journalism, Press freedom and ethics

The Guardian has had its four-year campaign for the release of information about misbehaving members of the judiciary rejected by a Freedom of Information (FOI) tribunal.

The paper had been working on the request since 2005, reporter Rob Evans told in March, and was challenging ‘secret justice’ and asking for a more accountable judiciary.

“We are trying to create a precedent for this kind of information to be released. In the past the government has always kept it as a kind of secret. They have always been very reluctant to release information about naughty judges,” said Evans as the case went to tribunal.

But today the tribunal, led by David Marks QC, ruled in favour of Justice Secretary Jack Straw and suggested that releasing information on when judges, magistrates and coroners had been disciplined could be disruptive to courts and the legal process.

The tribunal was ‘”impressed” by the Ministry of Justice’s argument that judges were entitled to a “reasonable expectation of privacy”‘, according to a report in the Guardian.

“This is an outrageous decision. Judges are highly paid public servants whose conduct in court and, to an extent, out of court must be above reproach,” Evans told today.

“It is fundamental that the public should know how complaints against judges are resolved and the reasons why particular judges have been reprimanded or sacked. Why is Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, covering this information up? He seems to have learnt nothing from the MPs expenses’ debacle.”

The ministry has said it will be more open about the sacking of judges in the future as a result of the Guardian’s campaign. However, taking the full FOI request any further would entail high court action – an expensive procedure.

NY Blogger Three: issued press credentials but still pursuing legal action

Three days ago, three bloggers received press accreditation after suing New York City, following the Police Department refusal to give them press credentials because they work for online news outlets.

They have now been issued credentials after the police relented, the bloggers’ lawyer, Norman Siegel, has said (via NY Times City Room blog and Associated Press).

Rafael Martínez Alequin(Your Free Press), Ralph E. Smith (The Guardian Chronicle) and David Wallis ( lauched the action after being denied credentials in 2007.

Although they have now been issued press cards the bloggers’ lawyer, Norman Siegel told the NYTimes in a phone interview that the trio would still pursue legal action. The blog reported:

“Mr. Siegel sad [sic] he was delighted with the outcome, but he vowed to continue the lawsuit, saying further reforms were needed.

Siegel told the

“This step recognizes that bloggers are 21st-century journalists (…)

“It’s an important first step, but only a first step, because we still need to address the constitutional problem of who gets press credentials in New York City. The Police Department should not be in the business of determining who’s a journalist.”

Though nationally reported there doesn’t seem to have been much discussion in the online journalism world yet (please do add links below, if you’ve picked up any interesting comments).

It’s an interesting case for the ongoing legal definition of journalist/blogger. In the UK, for example, Jack Straw has announced that some family courts will now be opened to the press. But how will press be defined when the changes come in?

As reported on this blog in December, the definition of ‘journalist’ has not yet been clarified…

‘Accredited media’ not yet defined, Ministry of Justice tells

December 17th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted by in Journalism, Legal, Online Journalism

UK Justice Secretary Jack Straw’s proposals to ‘lift the veil,’ and open family courts to the media, bring with them a range of issues, as discussed by the Telegraph’s Joshua Rozenberg.

One of which is the question of what defines the category of ‘accredited media’? Will it include online-only publications, for example? rang the Ministry of Justice to find out what will constitute ‘accredited media’. A spokesperson said it is currently ‘being decided’ and will be announced ‘once rules are finally agreed’. “It is part of the decision making process,” he said.

What’s the time-frame? asked. Along with other parts of the proposal, final rules will be established by April 2009, the ministry spokesperson said.

As Rozenberg commented, this is a significant part of the proposals. Rozenberg wrote:

” … Mr Straw does not seem to have given enough thought to what constitutes the modern media.

“If I decide to write about legal affairs on my own website, am I a freelance journalist who should be allowed access to the courts or a blogger who should not? And who is to decide?

“Mr Straw’s officials pointed out that press seats at criminal trials are allocated by court officials. But those denied such seats can usually attend as members of the public. That option would not be available here.

“Journalism is not a profession, in the sense of an occupation with controlled entry such as law or architecture. Anyone can call himself or herself a journalist. It is therefore essential that the final decision on who may attend the family courts as a journalist is one for the courts themselves, not officials.”

(Hat tip to Jon Slattery, who also flagged up the issues on his blog.)

Utama > Emas > Silver nears US$50 an ounce

Silver nears US$50 an ounce

Tahun 2011, kenaikan harga perak adalah lebih tinggi berbanding emas. Setakat hari ini, harga logam perak telah naik 52%, jauh meninggalkan peratus kenaikan emas.

NEW YORK: Silver settled just short of $50 an ounce after a big price swing Monday as the precious metal draws in investors worried about inflation ahead of a meeting this week by the Federal Reserve’s policy-making committee.

Silver for May delivery rose $1.09 to settle at $47.149 an ounce after swinging from a low of $45.65 an ounce to a high of $49.82 an ounce. The price has risen 52 percent since the first of the year.

Investors are monitoring the movement of the dollar ahead of the Federal Reserve’s meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The policymakers are expected to say they will keep interest rates near zero and that their $600 billion bond-buying program will continue until its scheduled end in June. The Fed’s rates have kept the dollar’s value low as other central banks begin to raise interest rates because of inflation fears.

Since commodities are priced in dollars, a weak dollar makes them more of a bargain for buyers who use other currencies.

Silver draws a diverse group of investors because of its dual purposes. Along with gold, it is a precious metal sought out as a stable asset during unsettled times and as hedge against inflation. Silver also is used making a number of consumer products including LCD televisions to smartphones and jewelry.

The combination can make silver prices more volatile because the market for the metal is smaller, resulting in more exaggerated price swings.

If silver reaches $50, it would be a new level in dollar terms but still below the peak reached in the 1980s after accounting for inflation.

Investors also bought gold for June delivery, which rose $5.30 to settle at $1,509.10 an ounce.

In other metals contracts, May copper fell 9.7 cents to settle at $4.303 a pound, July platinum rose $7.40 to $1,828.10 an ounce and June palladium fell $8.25 to $760.80 an ounce.

In energy trading, benchmark crude for June delivery fell 1 cent to settle at $112.28 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Most agriculture contracts settled higher. In contracts for July delivery, wheat rose 26.5 cents to settle at $8.6125 a bushel, corn rose 24 cents to $7.685 a bushel and soybeans rose 6.75 cents to $13.965 a bushel. – AP

The Homilies of the Emperor Leo VI

Front Cover
BRILL, 1997 - History - 308 pages
0 Reviews
This highly original study provides an extensive and careful analysis of the Homilies of the Byzantine emperor Leo VI (A.D. 886-912) in order to place them in their historical and cultural contexts. This neglected corpus of forty-two texts comprises both panegyrics on ecclesiastical feasts and discourses on special occasions. The first part deals with the Homilies in the framework of Leo VI's career by examining topics such as the circumstances of the delivery of the Homilies and their political significance. The second part places the Homilies within the Byzantine homiletic tradition of the fourth to tenth centuries. The book, the first monograph on this collection, establishes Leo VI as a prominent literary figure of his time, and sheds new light on both the emperor's fascinating personality and the development of Byzantine homiletics. It will be of great benefit to all those who are interested both in Byzantine literature and the Eastern Church.

Shifting Perspectives

Shifting Perspectives

East German Autobiographical Narratives before and after the End of the GDR

Dennis Tate

Camden House

First treatment of a conspicuously East German feature in today's German literature, that of autobiographical writing -- and rewriting.
A striking feature of today's German literature is the survival of an East German subculture characterized by its authors' self-reflexive concern with their own lives, not only in texts labeled as autobiography but also those in the more ambiguous territory of what Christa Wolf has called "subjective authenticity." Dennis Tate provides the first detailed account of this phenomenon: its origins in the 1930s' exile debates, its evolution during the GDR's lifespan, and its manifestations in the work of five East German authors still widely read today: Brigitte Reimann, Franz Fühmann, Stefan Heym, Günter de Bruyn, and Christa Wolf. Tate shows how the preoccupation with self arose from the unusually turbulent circumstances in which this generation has lived. Having succumbed early to the temptation to simplify their life stories for misguided educational purposes, these authors have repeatedly reconstructed their personal and political identities as their perspectives on the past have shifted. Tate shows the importance of viewing their autobiographical writing as a multilayered historical process, exposing problems with canonical accounts of East German literature and enabling texts published under GDR censorship to be properly appreciated for the first time.

Dennis Tate is Professor of German Studies at the University of Bath, UK.

Christa Wolf: "Subjective Authenticity" in Practice: An Evolving Autobiographical Project

A valuable addition to the growing number of studies engaged in rethinking East German literary history and reassessing the categories with which that literature is read. MONATSHEFTE

Tate focuses on ... prose works that combine self-reflexive narrative and autobiographical subject matter. ... His highly original study shows how this particular form of prose writing became a vehicle for each writer's self-exploration and self-protection, a creative response to the various forms of political turbulence each experienced before and after the end of the GDR. CHOICE

The study reveals profound knowledge of the topic and will enrich in significant areas our understanding of East German literature, especially after 1990. Because it is written with wit and courage and opens new avenues in GDR literature, it will provoke discussion if the study receives the attention it deserves. DEUTSCHLAND ARCHIV

This thoroughly researched monograph arrives at a very convincing reassessment of (the) development in East German literature from stereotypical socialist realist autobiographical writing to modernist multi-layered narratives. It can be recommended as a significant and stimulating contribution to scholarship on the autobiographical genre in particular and on GDR and postunification German literature in general.GLOSSEN

(Offers) a contribution to the collective biography of the GDR's second generation.. This literary generation, which Tate sees exemplified by Christa Wolf, faced the task of accounting for what Franz Fühmann famously described as the path to socialism via Auschwitz. Represented by Wolf, Fühmann, Brigitte Reimann, and others, this generation is largely responsible for the dynamic reception of East German literature in the west. GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW

In its detailed interpretation of primary texts, archival sources and cultural-political contexts, Tate's study is never anything less than utterly authoritative and persuasive, and that in a style which is always fluent and engaging. Through its rare combination of academic rigour and genuine critical sympathy Tate's book seems certain to become a standard work on East German life writing. JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN STUDIES

Delivering and Managing Marketing Programs

1. How would you, a manufacturer of exercise equipment, benefit from the addition of another channel of distribution to the two-level channel it now uses?

2. When motivating channel members, you have several sources of power from which to draw. List those sources and give an example of how each can be used.

Solution Preview

A two- level distribution channel contains two intermediaries. This can be the manufacturer and the retailer. If the manufacturer of exercise equipments adds another channel of distribution like a wholesaler it would have to focus less on the distribution of its products and can be able to concentrate more on the production operations. Thus it can be able to save from time. In this way the manufacturer can also be able to decrease its inventory costs and save

The agreement between manufacturer and a specific member of a distribution channel marks the beginning of a relationship that will be mutually beneficial if it operates successfully. Once agreement is reached, a successful, profitable working relationship becomes the objective, in other words, channel members must be encouraged or motivated and their performance continually monitored. The properly motivated channel member will operate more effectively in ways important to the achievement of marketing goals: better sales; more effective service to the customer; greater receptivity to new product development; ...

Solution Summary

The 607 word solution explains the two-level distribution channel including motivators to influence channel members.

Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang theory is the cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe. According to scientists, the Big Bang occurred approximately 13.789 billion years ago. [1] This is considered to be the age of the universe. The universe was extremely dense and hot at this time but rapidly started to expand. This cooled the universe sufficiently and allowed the energy to be converted into subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons.

The first element that was produced in the universe was hydrogen. After this, there were traces of helium and lithium. These elements formed giant clouds and later coalesced through gravity to form stars and galaxies. Other elements were then synthesized within stars or during supernovae.

The Big Bang theory is well tested and widely accepted. It offers an explanation for a wide range of observed phenomena such as, abundance of light elements, large scale structures, cosmic microwave background, and the Hubble diagram.

The Big Bang theory does not describe what happened in the Universe prior to the universe's expansion. Scientists have tried to model the initial expansion with accelerators. However, these accelerators have limited capabilities to probe into such high energy regimes.

21 Facts you don’t know about Google!

Google will celebrate it’s 15th Birthday tomorrow on 7th September, 2013. Let me tell you 21 Facts about Google which you probably don’t know!

  1. Google was named thanks to the misspelling of the word googol, which means a one followed by one-hundred zeros.
  2. The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. In fact it was noted that the submit button was a long time coming and hitting the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life.
  3. Google’s first ever Tweet in February 2009 was “I’m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.” Which reads “I’m feeling lucky.”
  4. Google was originally called BackRub. The homepage read: “BackRub is a ‘web crawler’ which is designed to traverse the web.”
  5. Google has acquired an average of one company every week since 2010.
  6. The first Google doodle was a Burning Man symbol. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin went to the Burning Man festival in 1998 and added the doodle to let users know they were away from the office that weekend.
  7. Google hired its first in-house chef, Charlie Ayers, in November 1999, when the company had just 40 employees. Ayers went on to become the firm’s executive chef, overseeing a team of 150 employees across 10 cafes at its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
  8. You can use Gmail in more than 50 languages. These include: Welsh, Basque, Tagalog, Malayalam, Telugu and Cherokee. Around 1,000 of Google’s employees became millionaires when the company went public in 2004. One of those millionaires was masseuse Bonnie Brown, who worked at the company giving back rubs for $450 a week back in 1999.
  9. The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button, which bypasses the results page to take users directly to the first result of their search, has been estimated to cost Google around $100m in lost ad revenue every year.
  10. Google hires goats. In 2009, the company rented around 200 goats for a week to eat the grass and fertilise the soil at its California headquarters.
  11. Almost all of rival company Mozilla’s money comes from Google. The firm pays $300m a year to be the default search engine on Mozilla’s web browser Firefox.
  12. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin own just 16% of the company. That 16% gives them a combined net worth of around $46bn.
  13. A new Google employee is known as a “Noogler” and a former employee is referred to as a “Xoogler”.
  14. Orkut is very popular in Brazil. Orkut was the brainchild of a very intelligent Google engineer who was pretty much given free reign to run with it, without having to go through the normal Google UI procedures, hence the reason it doesn’t look or feel like a Google application. They are looking at improving Orkut to cope with the loads it places on the system.
  15. Google has the largest network of translators in the world.
  16. Gmail was used internally for nearly 2 years prior to launch to the public. They discovered there was approximately 6 types of email users, and Gmail has been designed to accommodate these 6.
  17. They listen to feedback actively. Emailing Google isn’t emailing a blackhole.
  18. Employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time working on their own projects. Google News, Orkut are both examples of projects that grew from this working model.
  19. Google loves food. Brin and Page have said that no Googler should ever be more than 100 feet from a micro-kitchen with snacks and food. The first chef that Google employed earned $26 million from his stock options.
  20. Google advocates bringing dogs to work and there is even a “company dog” called Yoshka. Yoshka accompanies Urs Holzle, senior VP operations and Google Fellow to the Googleplex.
  21. Some core Google services went down recently for 5 mins, causing worldwide internet traffic to drop off by a pretty huge 40 per cent.

drm buffer object bug demo program

When several processes attempt to use gem buffer objects simultaneously data written to the buffers is occasionally lost.

The attached C program, selftest.c, demonstrates the issue. The program spawns 1 or more child processes each of which runs exactly the same test sequence:

  create tiled buffer object
  loop 10 times
    map buffer to gtt
    fill buffer with unique data, and verify each write immediately (A)
    unmap buffer

    map buffer to gtt
    readback and verify data in buffer (B)
    unmap buffer
  end loop

When run with more than about 20 test processes the readback of written data occasionally fails. The chance of errors being introduced increases with the number of processes.

Note that the program verifies the data in two places. Once as each DWord of data is written to the buffer (A), and again in a separate pass after the entire buffer has been filled. If an error is detected at (A) the child exits, so any errors reported at (B) imply that the data did originally write correctly to the buffer, but has subsequently been lost.

Each processes data is unique, and is formed by the DWord offset in the lower 5 nibbles, followed by the loop counter in the 6th nibble, and finally the process instance in the upper byte.

In all failures I have seen to date no cross-process corruption has occurred. The erroneous data always corresponds to data previously written by the SAME process, usually from a previous iteration of the loop.

Latest kernel tested: 3.8.0-RC6+ from git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel (2013-03-07)
Comment 1 Chris Wilson 2013-03-11 20:26:04 UTC
You have multiple processes writing to the same memory addresses with no serialisation. The results are undefined.
Comment 2 Chris Wilson 2013-03-11 20:30:49 UTC
Meh, I take that back, I thought surface_bo was shared, but it is indeed created after the fork().
Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2013-03-11 21:04:57 UTC
To summarise: multiple cores vs fence thrashing vs llc.
Comment 4 Chris Wilson 2013-03-11 22:34:16 UTC
And not just any old fence, as it only occurs with y-major fences.
Comment 5 jon.bloomfield 2013-03-12 09:07:54 UTC
Running X Major with 100 processes still shows corruption. It does seem slightly better than Y Major though which fails at just 30 processes on my machine at least.

Running with no tiling, does indeed seem fine
Comment 6 Chris Wilson 2013-03-12 11:37:27 UTC
Ok, X is also bad, must have left it at NONE whilst testing. As expected nosmp works...

    drm/i915: Workaround incoherence between fences and LLC across multiple CPUs
Comment 19 Daniel Vetter 2013-05-03 16:35:26 UTC
vlv is supposedly also affected ...
Comment 20 jon.bloomfield 2013-05-10 12:17:31 UTC
It looks like the fix, as written, is not working on VLV, even after removing the test for LLC and making the invalidate unconditional. Symptoms are identical to the original bug on IVB.
Comment 21 Chris Wilson 2013-05-10 14:27:33 UTC
Did you try with stop_machine()? *g*
Comment 22 jon.bloomfield 2013-05-10 14:30:51 UTC
We'll try that. Thanks
Comment 23 jon.bloomfield 2013-05-14 13:12:44 UTC
We tried two stop_machine() experiments on VLV - The first just called wbinvd() from stop machine, instead of on_each_cpu(). This made no difference.

However, reverting to the v2 patch, and calling i915_gem_write_fence(), from stop_machine, appears to have resolved the problem. We ran 1000 iterations of the selftest bug-demo with no failures. We also had to remove the HAS_LLC test, since VLV has no LLC.

Note that we surrounded the call to i915_gem_write_fence() with wbinvd(). We didn't have time to see if it was possible to remove these invalidate operations.

Description Bill Nottingham 2005-08-15 18:19:36 EDT
Description of problem:

I set up a SMB print queue to a HP 2410 printer. It said it was going to use the
hpijs driver.

Printing failed without any errors presented to the user. After looking in
the logs, and seeing:

D [15/Aug/2005:18:08:38 -0400] [Job 1] sh: hpijs: command not found
D [15/Aug/2005:18:08:38 -0400] [Job 1] ESP Ghostscript 815.00: Can't start ijs
server "hpijs"
D [15/Aug/2005:18:08:38 -0400] [Job 1] **** Unable to open the initial device,

I decided to actually install hpijs. Worked much better then. :)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:

Can possibly just be chalked up to user error; not sure what the graceful way to
handle this without installing hpijs on every box with foomatic is.

Sounds like this was fixed in the 0.6.x series, then cropped back up in 0.7.x
(see bug 212139)  In any case, it's fixed on both 0.6.x (up to FC5) and 0.7.x
(FC6+) now.

Arsonists torch Tuolumne County Sheriff vehicles

December 1, 2011

Arsonists set nearly a dozen Tuolumne County Sheriff’s vehicles on fire earlier today, prompting officials to call in agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms. [ModestoBee]

It appears the arsonists pushed a pickup truck about a 100 feet into the Patrol Annex lot in Sonora. They then doused the truck and almost a dozen police vehicles with gasoline, took off the gas caps, and set them on fire at about 3 a.m.

The fire destroyed the pickup truck, a patrol car, a department SUV and damaged eight other sheriff’s vehicles, the Modesto Bee said.

The parking lot was not secured or fenced though it does have a surveillance camera. Officials plan to review the tapes as part of their investigation.

More than 300 California dentists suspected of Medicaid abuse

May 18, 2015

baby-money1_0A federal audit of dental bills covered by Medicaid found that 329 dentists in California engaged in questionable billing practices. [Contra Costa Times]

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services audit also identified six orthodontists in California with questionable billing records. In all, the 329 dentists and six orthodontists received $118 million for pediatric dental work in 2012, the year auditors examined.

One California dentist billed for more than 1,000 services a day 97 times in 2012. Another dentist billed for 33 procedures, including multiple stainless steel crowns and baby root canals, during a single visit by a 4-year-old patient.

A third dentist received a per-child payment of $699 in 2012. The statewide average was $166 a child.

The federal report, which is due to be released Monday, does not distinguish between dentists who fraudulently bill and those who merely provide services that are not medically necessary. The report states that about 8 percent of California dentists who treat children enrolled in Medicaid may be overbilling.

Federal investigators have not released the names of the dentists suspected of overbilling, but they plan to forward the names to the state. The California Department of Health Care services responded to the report by saying it would step up monitoring of dental care providers and take action if needed.

  1. r0y says:

    Only 329 in all of California?! Only $118 million scammed? In the WHOLE STATE!?

    Either they don’t look really hard and careful, or we totally have some honest dentists! I’ve read that 1 out of 5 licensed dentists is in California and there were approx. 190,000 licensed dentists in 2012; that would mean at least 38,000 dentists licensed in California.

    They found 329 “bad” ones? Out of 40K? That’s like 0.87% fraud rate. WOW! Great news, indeed!

    Not surprised. All government programs are wrought with fraud. Yet government wants more and more from the taxpayer to administer their broken programs.

    They cut reimbursement rates for these programs so decent dentists decide they will no longer accept medicaid and the unscrupulous bill 500 times for the same procedure.

      My suggestions would be to stop allowing lobbyists to be involved in setting up such programs (although I don’t know how to do that easily) and to make sure that those overseeing the programs have the moral integrity, competence and funding to do so (almost equally difficult.)

Yahoo! To Open Illinois Office To Tap Engineering Talent

Yahoo! will open an office in University of Illinois's home town of Urbana-Champaign. The office, which will pursue a cross-section of the Web giant's operations and business interests, will employ about 100 engineers, according to Ken Timmons, vice president of operations for Yahoo!

The office will be "an extension of Yahoo: It's going to be a Yahoo office with all kinds of activities that range across all the Yahoo products," Timmons told the Champaign News-Gazette.

"Yahoo will have a strong attracting effect," said Zukoski. "They're going to attract researchers at the university, students, and, I think ... companies and other interested parties outside Urbana-Champaign to come see what they're doing. We'll all benefit."

UI vice chancellor for research Charles Zukoski called the announcement "an affirmation that [Illinois] is one of the hotbeds for informatics in the world."

Bassel Ojjeh, Yahoo's senior vice president of strategic data solutions, said Yahoo! had its eyes on the Midwest because the region has "some of the top schools and some of the largest schools in the country."

Philanthropy Notes: March 2013

President Obama finally found a few groups that he doesn’t want to give tax dollars. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has refused to provide aid to more than 200 houses of worship in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions affected by “Superstorm” Sandy, which made landfall in late October. But “there’s no constitutional reason why houses of worship, which often are the first to provide timely disaster relief to hard-hit communities, should be categorically banned from receiving relief funds to repair buildings. In fact, continuing the practice of allowing zoos and museums to obtain the funds while shutting out churches expresses precisely the kind of hostility toward religion that the Establishment Clause rejects,” said Daniel Bloomberg, legal counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

Nonprofit leaders warned lawmakers at a congressional hearing last month that tinkering with charitable deductions could have serious consequences, the Chronicle of Philanthropy reports. “Substantially limiting the charitable deduction at a time when people are still reeling from the recession, unemployment is high, and charities are facing government cutbacks simply makes no sense,” said David Wills, president of the National Christian Foundation, testifying on behalf of the Alliance for Charitable Reform. The House Ways and Means Committee heard that limiting the value of the charitable deduction would discourage giving and compel nonprofits to cut back on the services they provide to those in need. The committee created 11 working groups to prepare for the tax reform debate, including one focusing on charitable organizations.

Conservatives are still severely outgunned in the world of philanthropy, David Horowitz and Jacob Laksin write in their recent book, The New Leviathan (Random House). As of 2009, “the financial assets of the 115 major tax-exempt foundations of the Left identified by our researchers added up to $104.56 billion,” or 10 times greater than the financial assets of the 75 major foundations of the Right.

The John S. & James L. Knight Foundation released a statement saying it regrets paying author Jonah Lehrer $20,000 to speak at a conference. Lehrer, an admitted plagiarist, was to speak about a book he wrote on decision making but instead spoke about the scandal last year over his unethical behavior . “There are important lessons here for all of us as decision makers and supporters of information projects,” said the foundation’s president Alberto Ibargüen. Foundation partners should not “think that journalism controversies are too hot for them to handle … we want to send the message that when things go wrong the best action is to admit the error and get back to work.”

Teach for America founder and CEO Wendy Kopp announced she is stepping down as head of the nonprofit teacher-recruitment group. Kopp will chair the group’s board of directors and remain CEO of its affiliated global network, Teach for All. Current president Matt Kramer and COO Elisa Villanueva will take over as co-CEOs of Teach for America this month.

Regulatory changes will soon force Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to severely curtail its participation in its own private equity funds, which provide one of its most lucrative lines of business, the Wall Street Journal reports. The so-called Volcker rule, expected to take effect this summer, was written to prevent banks from making large bets with their own funds. The investment bank will likely have to reduce its investment in the funds to as little as 3 percent, down from the current 37 percent.

Deputy Mayor Hoskins Says Hill East is a “Weak Market”

Deputy Mayor Hoskins Says Hill East is a “Weak Market”

Development of Rest of Reservation 13 Depends on Stadium-Armory Test Case

by Larry Janezich

Last night, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Victor Hoskins said that because of a “weak market,” development of additional parcels of Reservation depends on the success of the current plan for construction of two mixed use residential/retail buildings adjacent to the Stadium-Armory Metro stop.  A final deal with the developer (Donatelli/Blue Skye) is being hammered out and Hoskins hopes to take it to the City Council for approval this summer.  He and his team said that additional infrastructure development is needed on other parcels, including streets, water and sewer, demolition, and relocation and repurposing of current uses, but

it was not clear from his testimony whether he would request funds in the FY 2015 budget for this purpose.  Reservation 13 is the 67-acre former site of DC General Hospital lying east of 19th Street in Hill East.

Hoskins and his team testified before Councilmember Muriel Bowser’s Economic Development Committee which was conducting its annual oversight hearing of the Deputy Mayor’s Office.

Asked by Bowser why it has taken a year to negotiate the Land Development Agreement with the developers of the first parcel, Hoskins and his team said that market is not as robust as in other areas of the city and the developer need to figure out a financial plan to make the project work.

Bowser followed up, asking Hoskins the overall plan for the rest of the parcels on Reservation 13.  Hoskins reiterated that it is a weak market and attracting capital is difficult.  He said that the Donatelli/Blue Skye project was a test, and if they get a great response, additional parcels will be developed.

Bowser’s questioning of Hoskins on the subject of Hill East was prompted by the testimony delivered earlier by ANC6B Chair Brian Flahaven.  Flahavan pointedly said he wanted DMPED to be asked when will there be final agreement Donatelli/Blue Skye and how much money has the mayor’s FY15 budget allocated to Hill East.  In addition, he asked whether DMPED is preparing a plan for other parcels, the timeline for the plan, what parcel would be next, and what’s been done to close DC General.

With respect to the latter, Flahaven urged Mayor Gray and DMPED to take action immediately to develop a plan to close the temporary homeless shelter at DC General and begin transitioning homeless families and individuals into better housing options and to develop a plan for transitioning social services located on the site.

    What a joke–it’s one of the hotter-selling zipcodes in DC, several analyses have shown. That may not equal development potential but we all suspect the only delay is the city has no good plan to replace the homeless shelter, jail, etc so it’s moving slowly here.

    • 7th Streeter

      There’s a difference between a ‘hot selling zip code’ and open, unused, unplanned and lord-knows-what federal/local restrictions and/or environmental issues an untested commercial parcel holds.

  2. AZ Ward 6

    Thank goodness! Maybe we have a few more years until Ward 6 is so gentrified as to be an affront to democracy…. Those who don’t like a diverse and vibrant neighborhood can move right across the river — I think there are even some luxury condos located directly in shopping malls over there.

    • Ward 6 Realities

      That’s a laugh. Gentrification in Ward 6 started over a decade ago. Missed the luxury condos, hipster restaurants, and overabundance of bars all over the ward, did ja? Haven’t been paying attention much I see?

      And exactly how is a ward “gentrifying” an affront to democracy?

  3. And if Hill East is in a “weak market” now, I’d like to see it when it’s really smokin’! Houses all around me are being bought up, renovated, some split into tiny condos, and the hipsters have taken over H Street NE. Yeah, really weak. Maybe if they’d actually have carried out the master plan for Res 13, building more houses, affordable housing, and retail space, maybe the area wouldn’t be so “weak.”

    I’ve never had much faith in our latest probably corrupt mayor and his staff. This just shows me they’re out of touch with what’s really happening under their watch. Time to vote for a mayoral candidate that hasn’t sat on the City Council for decades. Time to break the cycle.

  4. Will

    There is more to the story than Hoskins is revealing. There is a movement to have DC bid for the 2024 Olympics, and the Mayor is involved in pushing this. What isn’t clear to most is what that means for various city controlled parcels. The obvious Olympic stadium is a redevelopment of RFK, which a lot of people outside of the area want as a means to bring the ‘Skins back in 2026 when their FedEx lease runs out. That means we also need a place for the athlete’s village, and that is, in my estimation, why there has been so much resistance from the Gray admin to do anything with Res. 13, it’s an ideal spot for athlete housing, and they don’t want to mess up that opportunity by having any residents in that parcel to complain.

    I will say, on the bright side, that would almost certainly mean a relocation of the jail and redevelopment of DC General into something other than a homeless shelter. Once the athlete’s village has served its purpose, it could be turned into market rate or subsidized housing, maybe a combination of the two.

    Other parcels that could get redeveloped: the Anacostia waterfront between Mass and Pennsylvania, the Benning Road powerplant (stadium site), and any other large parcel that’s languished in development purgatory.

    I certainly have mixed feelings on it, but if it can bring the new metro lines and redevelopment of some of these sites sooner, I am more for it than against it.

Thread: Im a Newbie with a graphics design problem for my simple game

    Im a Newbie with a graphics design problem for my simple game

    I have written a game, a simple 2D game that I wrote in BORLAND C++ V4 for DOS.

    All my moving characters in the games are ASCII characters so it looks a bit naf at the moment.

    I was thinking of how to get some user defined graphics put into the program and have 2 options:

    1) Ask my fellow buddys on CPROGRAMMING.COM if there is any graphics library for use in this compiler. I always have problems with DJGPP compiler and dont know much ALLEGRO. I am willing to teach myself if someone can help me though.

    or 2) I thought I could somehow make a new FONT in DOS that was like Windows Windings. Then I could design simple graphics the size of Text Characters that would work well for my needs while I learn something more professional for the future.

    What are your thoughts and ideas, They are all appreciated, good or bad.

    Cheers all, Rob.

The Matter of Verizon v FCC

The Internet is a uniquely open communications platform with unprecedented power to promote First Amendment rights, as the Supreme Court first recognized in the landmark case of Reno v. ACLU.

However, the Internet’s unique capacity to empower individual speakers could be irrevocably damaged if this Court accepts Verizon’s argument that the Open Internet Rules violate Verizon’s own purported First Amendment interest in exercising unfettered “editorial discretion” over the Internet content that its customers choose to send or receive.

This amicus brief argues against Verizon’s First amendment assertion.

In what would have been part of a strange UR event, a legendary rematch between Dan Severn and Tank Abbott was supposed to happen. However, Abbott couldn't pass his physical and has been removed rom the fight against fellow UFC veteran Severn by the Arizona Boxing an MMA Commission, a spokesman for UR Fight confirmed with MMA fighting on Thursday morning.

A replacement is currently being sought.

The bout was scheduled for Sunday in Phoenix as part of an amalgamation of combat sports and sports entertainment matchups run by Canadian digital television property UR Show.

The bill is strange, but good. Chael Sonnen is fighting Michael Bisping in a grappling match, Kurt Angle is faceing off with Rey Mysterio in a pro wrestling bout, and Roy Jones Jr. will headline in a boxing match against Vyron Phillips. In other words, it is likely to either be a shitshow or incredibly entertaining... or both!

Severn was initially supposed to face Ken Shamrock, but Shamrock is currently under 90-day suspension by the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration due to a failed drug test with regards to his fight with Royce Gracie at Bellator 149 in Houston last month.

The two men last fought each other at UFC's The Ultimate Ultimate in 1995. Severn won that fight and won the tournament that night as well. Severn, 57, has not fought in MMA since 2012. He has more than 100 professional wins. Abbott, 50, last fought in 2013.

What do you think?

Crabmeat Stuffed Potatoes

from the kitchen of Chef Paul Prudhomme

Makes 6 Main-Dish or 12 Side-Dish or Appetizer Servings

6 (8 to 10 ounce) russet potatoes, as blemish-free as possible
11 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
2 pounds fresh lump or claw crabmeat
¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter or margarine, cut in 6 pieces
1 cup heavy whipping cream or half and half
1½ teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Vegetable Magic®
1½ teaspoons ground red pepper (preferably cayenne)
About ⅓ cup finely chopped green onions (tops only), optional
how to prepare

Preheat oven to 400°.

Wash the potatoes well, then pat dry and place in center of oven rack, being sure to leave some space between potatoes for hot air to circulate.  Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until soft to the touch (when you squeeze the sides in).

Meanwhile, very coarsely grate the cheese.  Then, pick over the crabmeat:  Spread the crabmeat out on a large, flat cookie sheet then pick up each lump and visually look for thin, transparent pieces of shell.  Remove the shell fragments, trying not to break up lumps of crabmeat.  Return crabmeat to refrigerator.  About 20 minutes before the potatoes are done, set the butter and cream out to get to room temperature.

When the potatoes are done, remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes until cool enough to handle.  Turn the potatoes once to let both sides of the skin dry out.  (Turn the oven to 350°.)  With a very sharp bread knife, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, cutting across the widest part so the potato shells will sit flat.  Scoop out the potato meat with a soup spoon to within ¼ inch of the shell, placing the potato meat in the large bowl of an electric mixer (see Lagniappe).

Add the butter to the bowl with the potato meat, separating the pieces.  Beat at low speed (with a paddle attachment, if possible-but beaters will work, also) until the butter is just incorporated.  With the mixer still on low, add the cream and then the Vegetable Magic® and red pepper, beating just until the cream and seasonings are mixed in well, but the potatoes are still quite lumpy.  You do not want to get to a smooth, whipped potato consistency; there should be lots of lumps throughout the mixture.  Turn off the mixer and taste for seasoning level - - the mixture will be spicy at this point, but the cheese and crabmeat are both bland, and finished dish will not be spicy.

Spoon the potato mixture into a very large, shallow mixing bowl (if you use a shallow bowl, you'll be able to fold in the crabmeat more evenly throughout the mixture).  Using a fork, fold in 5 ounces of the grated cheddar, not trying to make a smooth, even distribution - - you want to have pockets of cheese (they will melt and be fantastic!) scattered throughout the finished stuffed potato.  Then gently fold in the reserved lump crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps, but making sure all of the mixture in the bowl has crabmeat scattered through it.

Stuff the potato shells until they are just rounded slightly at the top.  (You will have extra stuffing, which you can bake in ramekins or a small casserole dish.)  Place the stuffed potatoes in a baking pan, fitting them close together, then sprinkle the tops with the remaining 6 ounces grated cheddar.  You can prepare the recipe to this point several hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Place the pan in a 350° oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the potato mixture is nice and hot.

Serve immediately (sprinkling the tops of the potatoes with green onions, if desired), allowing 2 potato halves for an entrée and 1 potato half for an appetizer or side dish.  The potatoes make a wonderful entrée with just a nice crisp garden salad and hot French bread.

LAGNIAPPE:  For a really sensational stuffed potato, deep fry the potato shells after scooping out the potato meat.  To do so, season the inside of each shell with 1 teaspoon Vegetable Magic® then deep fry the shells at 350° for 3 to 4 minutes or until the shells are crisp and golden brown.  Remove from oil and place skin side up (cavity down) on paper towels, then continue with the recipe instructions above.
