Wouldn't it be great if, for once, the U.S. Congress took the lead in social change instead of being dragged kicking and screaming to a decision long after most of the country has moved on?
Apparently, that's not the nature of politics. Still, my holiday wish is for the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy to be voted away by Christmas. Polls prove the country is ready. Surveys show the military is ready. Experience in the British and Israeli armed forces demonstrates no crisis is created by homosexuals serving openly. It is unlikely anyone fighting for this country in Afghanistan has failed to figure out if the guy next to him is gay, while also appreciating how that soldier is a tough son-of-a-gun.
The only ones who seem to fret about gay and lesbian soldiers are Republican senators and House members catering to a loud contingent of social conservatives who think national policy should be dictated by 3,000-year-old religious taboos.
Oh, and then there's John McCain. Just as he has with tax cuts for the wealthy and immigration policy, McCain has flip-flopped on gays in the military. Ever the maverick, he now has gone "all mavericky," in Sarah Palin's phrase, against his own better self. He is one old soldier who should have just faded away.
Looking back through our history, it has seldom been Congress that has led the way to social progress. The disenfranchised and disdained have had to push and protest and struggle and die in order to get the politicians to finally move. Black Americans and other minorities put their lives on the line time after time to win their liberties, one by one. The legislation that gave women the vote, workers the right to organize, children the right not to be exploited and all citizens the right to clean air and water and food did not come because a majority of lawmakers simply got together to do the right thing.
I recognize that past realities are hugely complicated, but today it seems insane that Americans had to fight against each other in their bloodiest war in order to end slavery.
Slavery? How could anyone have ever thought slavery was right? Well, there are these passages in the Bible that said it was OK, so…
If only we could recognize where history is taking us and nimbly leap the ramparts of the dying order. Future Americans will look back on this moment with disdain, wondering why anyone would have thought it made sense to deny gays and lesbians the opportunity to serve their country in battle. And, not only that, but generations to come will also find it curious that those who hold the institution of marriage sacred fought so hard to keep homosexuals from becoming old married folks.
Admittedly, compared to gays in the military, gay marriage is a bigger leap for many people, including me.
I've never felt any repulsion to homosexuality. In my younger years, I simply didn't know much about it. As life went on, I came to know co-workers and friends who were gay and lesbian and learned the plain truth: they were no different from anyone else I knew, except in the way nature had wired their sexuality.
Still, until recently, I really did not see why civil unions were not an adequate vehicle for gays and lesbians who sought to commit to each other and enjoy the same legal rights and obligations as straight couples. Plenty of liberals, including President Obama, continue to see it that way. But an essay by Andrew Sullivan began to turn my thinking around.
Sullivan, a gay man, right-leaning columnist and former editor of the New Republic, has been a passionate advocate for gay marriage. He makes many intelligent points, but the one that hit home with me was his most personal. He described the experience of taking his partner along on visits to his family. No matter how committed and how caring the relationship, the partner was always the boyfriend, someone welcomed but still outside the family circle. Only when gay marriage began to be legalized in a few states and Sullivan was able to come home and announce he was getting married to the person he loved did the dynamic change. Marriage suddenly made that person part of the story, part of the heritage, fully integrated into the family's identity.
Ironically, it was a matter of family values. I could see how this mattered and it flipped my thinking from "why do they need to marry?" to "why not?"
Why not, indeed? Purely on legal terms, it is no longer a winning argument to say the government has a right to bar certain people from a state-sanctioned domestic arrangement available to all other citizens. As the challenge to California's gay marriage ban moves through the courts, it becomes ever more clear that the legal rationale for this discriminatory practice is disintegrating. Even the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court may fracture on this issue when it is finally brought before them.
If and when that happens, plenty of senators and representatives of a certain political persuasion will rush in to "stand athwart history shouting stop!" That, after all, is how William F. Buckley described the stance of true conservatives. But I'm not sure even Buckley, if he were still alive, would be willing to make the case for blocking this particular evolution in our society. It is both reasonable and inevitable.
Today, a couple of inebriated knuckleheads who happen to be boy and girl can impulsively get hitched any day of the week at a chapel in Las Vegas. A straight man or woman who has repeatedly failed at marriage can try, try again. The moral fiber of America will only be enhanced when two men or two women who have faithfully shared their lives for decades are finally allowed to do the same.

Park Hill High School student caught with gun
Teen taken into custody after meeting with administrators
Park Hill School District officials said a student was taken into custody after bringing a gun to Park Hill High School Wednesday.
Officers said administrators received a report late in the school day that student had a gun. The student was brought to the office where officials found the weapon in the student's pocket.
Investigators have not released the student's name.
Officials said they are limited by federal law to discuss the specific consequences in the case, but discipline procedures were followed. They said the student told investigators he had issues that were not school-related.
Platte County Sheriff's Department Capt. Erik Holland said the student has not been formally charged. He said the student is a juvenile and juvenile authorities will likely decide on the charges.
Holland said the student told investigators that he did not have any intention of using the gun at school.
Parents received a notice from the district about the incident and district officials discussed the incident at a news conference late Wednesday afternoon.
"I appreciate the good judgment and courage of the student who made the report to us and the prompt and appropriate action of the (Platte County) Sheriff's Department," said principal Brad Kincheloe. Classes are set to resume at the school as normal Thursday.
Holland said school officials did a "wonderful" job of handling the situation.
This is the second incident involving a Park Hill high school in the past week. A threat forced a lockdown at Park Hill South on Jan. 23.

White Sox all-time Top 5 in-season trades
Garcia, Contreras and Cruz helped spark playoff runs on South Side
Will the White Sox swing a deal before the July 31 Trade Deadline? Sometimes it takes years to determine how well a team did in a trade. With the benefit of hindsight, the following are the five most notable trades in franchise history that were conducted during the regular season, according to MLB.com reporter Scott Merkin. Agree? Disagree? Comment below:
1. June 27, 2004: White Sox receive right-handed pitcher Freddy Garcia and catcher Ben Davis from the Mariners for infielder Mike Morse, catcher Miguel Olivo and outfielder Jeremy Reed.
Former general manager Ken Williams' trade magic might have never been more evident than prying away the most coveted pitching target one month before the Trade Deadline and then inking him to three-year extension in July. Garcia finished with nine wins and a 4.46 ERA in 16 starts for the White Sox during the '04 season. But the White Sox wouldn't have won their first World Series in 88 years in 2005 without the help of Garcia's 14 wins over 33 starts.
It was Garcia who pitched seven shutout innings in the deciding Game 4 of the World Series sweep against Houston. It also was Garcia who told his teammates and coaches before the game that he was going to finish off the championship. The man simply knew how to win big games.
2. June 15, 1983: White Sox receive second baseman Julio Cruz from the Mariners in exchange for second baseman Tony Bernazard.
At the time Cruz was picked up, the White Sox sat in fifth place in the American League West and 5 1/2 games out of first place. Cruz was just the spark the team needed.
Cruz hit .251 with 24 stolen bases during his 1983 time with the White Sox, who put together a 59-26 record after the All-Star break and cruised to the division title. Of course, it didn't hurt having starting pitchers such as LaMarr Hoyt, Richard Dotson and Floyd Bannister anchoring the rotation.
3. July 31, 2004: White Sox acquire right-handed pitcher Jose Contreras in exchange for right-handed pitcher Esteban Loaiza.
Loaiza had a near Cy Young effort in 2003 for the White Sox. He even started the All-Star Game at home for the AL. But the White Sox got rid of him at the right time, as he struggled through an uneven first half.
In the process, the White Sox picked up the anchor of their rotation for the 2005 championship run. Contreras won Game 1 of the AL Division Series, the clinching Game 5 in the AL Championship Series and Game 1 of the World Series sweep of Houston.
4. June 24, 2012: White Sox receive third baseman Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox in return for right-handed pitcher Zach Stewart and outfielder Brent Lillibridge.
The White Sox were in desperate need of a third baseman, because of Brent Morel's back issues and Orlando Hudson's ineffectiveness at a position he had never played before at the Major League level. So Williams acquired Youkilis, who had been replaced at third base by Will Middlebrooks in Boston.
Youkilis provided a major spark for the White Sox upon his arrival, driving in at least one run in eight straight games to begin July. His final season numbers weren't overwhelming, but Youkilis played a role in the White Sox sitting atop the AL Central for 117 days. In getting Youkilis, the White Sox also gave up two players who did not figure prominently in their three-year plan.
5. Aug. 25, 1959: White Sox receive first baseman Ted Kluszewski from the Pirates for Minor League infielder Bob Sagers and right fielder/first baseman Harry Simpson.
Geoff Blum (acquired from San Diego on July 31, 2005), Carl Everett (acquired from Montreal on July 18, 2004) and Minnie Minoso (acquired from the Indians on April 30, 1951) all contributed immediately after their arrivals, and Blum chipped in one of the most famous homers in White Sox history to win Game 3 of the World Series. But it's hard to argue with Kluszewski's production after he was obtained.
Kluszewski hit .297 with two homers and 10 RBIs in the regular season with the White Sox. But in the 1959 World Series against the Dodgers, Kluszewski hit .391 with three homers and 10 RBIs, not to mention two walks and no strikeouts, over 25 plate appearances. The White Sox still lost in six, but Kluszewski gave them a fighting chance.

Scott Rudin, who long has held the Broadway rights to Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh," will not produce the hit Goodman Theatre production on Broadway, Rudin's office confirmed Monday.
According to Goodman artistic director Robert Falls, a variety of other Broadway producers have been flocking to Chicago over the last week to see the show. More are expected during the final week. All performances are sold out.
The assumption in New York had been that Rudin would produce the show, directed by Falls and starring both Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy, on Broadway, assuming the entertainment mogul liked what he saw. But once word spread that Rudin has decided his Broadway plate is full and was not coming to Chicago to see the show, other New York producers have been showing belated interest. The show is very tricky from a commercial standpoint: the running time of nearly five hours would appear to limit the number of possible performances each week to seven (or maybe even six) and overtime costs would likely be high. Then again, demand for tickets in Chicago has been enormous.
The Goodman previously has partnered with Jeffrey Richards (on "Chinglish") and David Richenthal (on "Death of a Salesman").

About the Acquisition
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers (1890) is a marvelous complement to the Gallery's Van Gogh collection. The ninth oil painting by the artist to come to the Gallery, this work, along with Girl in White, represents Van Gogh's wildly prolific Auvers period. It hangs in the Gallery's West Building with several works from Provence, including La Mousmé and Farmhouse in Provence, as well as some pieces painted during his stay at Saint-Rémy, such as Roses and his glowering Self-Portrait. This powerful landscape relates perhaps even more strongly to three of the Gallery's pen and ink drawings by Van Gogh, all from 1888—Harvest–The Plain of La Crau, Harvest, and Ploughman in the Fields near Arles—in the rhythmic weave of the marks made to describe the artist's sense of nature's unifying energy.
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers spent its early life in Germany, represented around 1905 by the brilliant modern art dealer Paul Cassirer and moving to Britain with F. H. Herrmann in 1936–1937. Herrmann sold it through the Carstairs Gallery in New York to Paul Mellon in December 1955. It has remained in Mr. and Mrs. Mellon's home in Virginia until now, with the exception of an exhibition devoted to their collection and that of Paul's sister, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, at the National Gallery of Art in 1966. Mrs. Paul Mellon donated the painting to the Gallery in 2013.
Take home a souvenir compact hand mirror featuring Vincent van Gogh's Green Wheat Fields, Auvers (1890), from the National Gallery of Art.
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers was painted during Van Gogh's final months in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village just north of Paris. This work is a "pure landscape" in that there is no visible motif beyond the grassy field, road, and sky; there are no animals or figures, but instead lush flora whipped up by the wind. Two-thirds of the composition consists of the field in a rich range of greens and blues, punctuated by outbursts of yellow flowers. The artist wrote of his return to northern France as a kind of homecoming, a peaceful restoration in which the vibrant, hot colors of the south were replaced by cool, gentle hues of green and blue. Van Gogh's energetic strokes describe the movement of grassy stalks in the breeze; patterned undulations create a woven form anchored at the right by a juncture of field, road, and sky. Above the fields the clouds whip around in spinning circles, created by Van Gogh's brush squiggling across the surface in broad calligraphic strokes. The paint is applied in thick impasto, creating the textured surface of Van Gogh's best-loved paintings. Through his dynamic touch and vivid, rich color, Van Gogh expresses the intense freshness of this slice of countryside.

Renaissance Subproject to Achieve Better Default Settings
Quick Navigation
Executive summary
Please locate your favorite low hanging fruit to improve default settings in all OOo applications. The focus was on Impress till the end of April. Therefore, the Impress-relevant suggestions in the table below are italicized to show that they are under evaluation already.
"Better Defaults", as this effort is called for short, aims to collect suggestions for better default settings in OOo. Impress was first (in accordance with the present focus of project Renaissance) and the other OOo applications are to follow. This is a subproject of Project Renaissance, so it is listed on the "Current Work" wiki page .
What does "better defaults" mean? Well, I KNOW there are default settings that you change first thing when you install a new version of OOo. So please share what they are and why the change(s) make(s) your life much easier.
For example, two issues Frank found are:
- Make objects same size Issue 54281
- Text area selection is not very accurate and covers other objects. Issue 96548
One default setting changed recently was Issue 2446 Boy did that feel good! Let's find more of those.
Low Hanging Fruit Clause
No new features. The developer should only have to flip a switch on something that is already alive and kicking in the office suite, but just not set as the default. We want results, so the low hanging fruit are the ones we want to grab.
How to Get Started
Find existing default setting issues or write new RFEs in IssueTracker (use "default" in the title and keyword) and add them to list in the table on this wiki page.
Or, if RFE writing is not your kind of thing, just write your desires to achieve default utopia ;-) in the table below. Be sure to make it clear where the feature is located (write down where to click to get there) and why it is better to set the default the way you want it as compared to the old setting.
Each individual default setting being suggested can then be discussed on the respective wiki pages, just like the discussion in the table at the bottom of the Grind Handling wiki page. That information will serve as the basis for the workout and decision making when it comes to evaluation time, because the iTeam will have the discussion and details all in one place (wiki page) and not jumbled all over the mailing lists.
The iTeam will evaluate the suggestions and decide what to implement with the resources they have within the scope of the Renaissance project.
Blog posts
In order:
List of Better Default Setting Suggestions
| Idea
| Application
| Issue num
| Description
| Name
|Rotation Mode, Guides when Moving on
|'Rotation Mode after Clicking Object' & 'Guides When Moving' are two feature options which are switched off by default => they should be switched on by default (more info: Grid Handling).
|Change Handle Size
|The current handle size was defined years ago - with displays offering less density than today. I propose to change the default handle size to "large". This option can be found in the toolbar "Options" (more info: Grid Handling).
| ChristophNoack
|bullet point lists
|Impress (1)
| Bad standard defaults of bullet point lists. If one creates a text frame in Impress and clicks on the button "numbering and bullet points" (Nummerierung und Aufzählungszeichen), the newly created bullet point list has terrible standard defaults:
|default colour of drawing objects
|Issue 93507
|The default color of drawing object is ugly and has not changed since the 1990s.
|default colour of tables
|Writer, Draw/Impress
|Like above. Look at Impress/Draw: Table Toolbar > Table Design; Writer: menu Table > AutoFormat
|Text position in cells
|Writer, Draw/Impress
|Text in table cells should be in center (vertical) position, not top. I guess many people crates simple tables to school or home work. They use this function as first.
|'Right page' should be next style to 'Left page'
|Issue 15498
|Ugly style sheets for headings in Writer
| I used Writer for several articles, publications, flyers and in all of them the standard headings look ugly and outdated. Any designer would not choose these style sheets for Heading 1-10. Furthermore, in this regard the competition has made large steps forward during the last release cycles.
|Make manual page break in Writer better visiable
|Issue 33518 and duplicates Issue 65150 , Issue 82353 , Issue 96963 , Issue 22646
|for example use 'light blue' and a thicker line.
|Default line too thick
|Issue 98803
|especially XY-Charts need hairline lines.
|provide hidden toolbars like 'circles and ovals
|Include toolboxes circles, rectangles, text instead of single symbol in drawing toolbar. Reasoning: (1) The 'circles and ovals' and the 'text' toolbox is not accessible via View - Toolbars in Draw. So currently the only way to access arcs and legends is to customize the drawing toolbar. (2) Draw is used for technical constructions and there those objects are often used, in contrast to Writer or Impress, where drawing objects are used for illustrations in most cases. (3) Using the toolboxes needs no more space than single objects and give you a quick access too, because the last used object remains above for single click.
|Add Math formula icon to standard bar
|Math objects are often used in technical documents. You need the way Insert - Object - Formula to insert one. That is too long. For example consider writing a math text for school, which has about twenty formulas per page usually.
|Distance in numbering styles larger
|Make the distance from number to text in numbering styles larger, so that 10. text is still in line.
|Add a gap in table of contents
|Add a gap (tab or space) between number and text in table of contents in Writer. The picture shows the ugly default settings. Notice the missing space between number and heading text.
|Use parallel perspective for 3D-scene
|Issue 67847
|3D-scenes in Draw are to illustrate constructions. Often several 3D-objects are combined in one scene. Working with several objects is faulty if perspective is on. So the first step when working with 3D-objects is to switch to parallel projection. It is "faulty" because it is unhandy to arrange or rotate objects inside a scene when in central perspective and because of Issue 67847 .
|Set margins in style of Math formula objects to 0cm
|Issue 22136
|Set margins in style of Math formula objects in Writer to 0cm.
|Add a spacing below for tables
|Add a spacing below for tables in Writer. In normal text flow the style text body is used, which gives good distance between two paragraphs. It has a spacing above of 0cm and a spacing below of 0.21cm. But after a table the text nearly touches the border of the table, because the table has spacing 0cm. And if you do not use borders the spacing is to small too, because the style Table contents has below spacing 0cm too.
|Uncheck transparency warning
|Uncheck transparency warning in Tools > Options. Modern PCs are fast enough to calculate transparency. So most oft the users no longer need this warning.
|change default color in form wizard
|the default background color of an default form document, created by the form wizard, is anything like orang -> this is a bad default and looks unprofessional => change it in anything common like 'light gray'
|switch off impress wizard
|looks old fashioned, is redundant and annoying
|Default Clipboard Format for vector graphics
|All except Draw
|If someone paste a vector graphic into a document, he normally doesn't intend to edit it there, but most probably he needs to resize it. Unfortunately scaling of embedded Draw graphics doesn't work, because text will not scaled proper. Until this work, the user must use Paste Special->As GDI-Metafile. I think GDI-Metafile should be the default here.
|Changing default font
|Impress & Draw
|Issue 70585
| It should be possible to change the overall default font for text (not the GUI)
in Impress permanently, using one centralized setting, for example Options -> Openoffice.org -> fonts -> Change default font or somewhere similar.
|Change default pen color from neon green
|Issue 47990
| As described in BUG 10922 the neon green color of the pen used to draw on a presentation is very difficult to see for students in a classroom, and the color is hard coded into OOo. I would like to see the default changed to perhaps black or red, as they are much easier colors to see. BUG 10922 is still a very good idea, but I filed this report to request a simple change of the default color, which should be much easier than what BUG 10922 is requesting. A slightly more ambitious, but still not difficult, would be to read the color value from a file or some such, instead of hard coding it in the OOo source.
p.s. available after .. menue: slide show / slide show settings & check 'mouse pointer as pen' & starting a presentation
|Options for line width of the pen (in slideshow mode)
| The pen in the slideshow mode has a very small line width. Therefor it is not visible for all partipants of a presentation. If something should be market the pen had to be much wider.
The pen is available after you set in menue: slide show / slide show settings & check 'mouse pointer as pen' & starting a presentation.
There is already a patch for the pen integrated into the go-oo-build, that gives the posibility to change the configuration of the pen (color, line width etc.).Please integrate this patch into vanilla-ooo.
|change configuration of the pen during slideshow mode
|It should be posible to change the configuration of the cursor (from arrow to pen) during the presentation mode (via context menu). There is already a patch for the pen available, that is integrated into the go-oo-build. It gives the posibility to change the configuration of the pen. I don't know yet, if it makes the options dialog also available during the presentation mode. Please integrate this patch into vanilla-ooo.
|Don't emulate MS Office's annoying "clippy"
|Options | OpenOffice | General and then Turn off Help Agent and Turn on Extended Tips
|Please set all checkboxes in Change Tools --> Options --> Load/Save --> Microsoft Office by default
|It is very annoying that these checkboxes are not checked by default because users which own Microsoft Office and open a document with an Excel OLE-object see a document in a different way than a user who does not have Microsoft Office installed. This is because (by default) an installed Excel is used to render the xls-diagrams while (when Excel is not installed) OpenOffice.org is used to render it. When a user sends such a document to a different user it seems as if OpenOffice.org does not display the document in the same way as on the other computer. But the problem is in the OLE-object. When the boxes are checked it would be a better default.
|Tab Stops with reasonable settings
|Tools > Options > Writer or Writer/Web or Calc or Impress or Draw > General > Settings > Tab stops = 0.50 instead of 0.49
|Grid Settings much more manageable and understandable
| Tools > Options > Writer or Writer/Web or Calc or Impress or Draw > Grid
Snap to Grid should be off. Visible Grid should be off. Resolution > Horizontal = 0.10 instead of 0.39. Resolution > Vertical = 0.10 instead of 0.39. Synchronize axes should be on.
|Table keyboard handling consistent
|Tools > Options > Calc > Table > Keyboard handling > Insert cell > Column = 0.20 like the others instead of 0.98.
|Anchor context sensitive toolbars by default
| Context sensitive toolbars (like table, image toolbars) is a great feature
when you get used to it, but new users just see a toolbar popping in front of their work. I always dock those toolbars to the bottom edge of the window. I think this could be a good default for new (and old) users.
|Change "Show as tip" for word completion
| The word completion is a useful feature, but the way it is shown by default is quite "disturbing": if a
long suggestion pops when you are near the page edge the word you are writing will jump to next line. "Show as tooltip is a better alternative, IMO. The option is on Tools -> AutoCorrect Options -> Word Completion tab
|Space Markers Off
|Turn off markers for spaces (small dots between words).
|Shortcut For Insert Comment
|Calc, Writer
|Like Ctrl+Ins or Shift+Ins
|Text Paragraph Indents
|For style 'Text Body' in RU Locale. Off top margin. Add first line indent 1cm. On justify.
|Many Issues From helen_russian
|Look at this page, please: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmyooo.ru%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F58%2F1%2F&sl=ru&tl=en -- Discussion was here at 5:05:35 PM
|Show Color Panel
|View -> Toolbars -> Color Bar
|Please include presenter screen in default install set of OOo.
|Issue 90415
|Only this integration in the default install set would make the presenter console usable for many use cases. Remark: Please consider the integration of the presenter screen extension in the standard download set of OOo, because following situtuation is standard for presenters on workshops or conferences: (1) The presenter brings the file and must use the computer of the organisor/venue. (2) It is already difficult to ensure that OOo is installed on that computer. (3) It is almost impossible to ensure that OOo AND the presenter console extension is installed (4) The presenter usually has not the time or possibility to install the extension him/herself (5) The result is that the presenter console is unusable for professional use. Please consider this!
|Remove the limits on multi-level undo!
|Issue 98009
|I assume that this limit is just an out-dated, but hard coded default setting.
|Styles and formatting panel docked right
|Styles and formatting panel is floating and that's annoying, partialy because it obstructs sight from file in edition.It should be in right side (or left) docked so it's always in the same place, and doesn't obstruct the documents.
|Find & Replace after selecting a range should have "current selection only" checked by default
|Calc, Writer
| If you select a range of cells before a Find & Replace, it means in 90% cases that you want to act inside this selection. So the option "current selection only" (two clicks more today) should be:
- pre-checked if there is an active cells range selection - unchecked if there is no active cells range selection
|Gilles Bignebat (gibi)
|All OpenOffice.org programmes should use the same default keyboard short-cut for inserting comments
|Impress, Calc, Writer
|Inserting comments in OOo programmes is inconsistent. 1st: since the name has changed from "notes" to "comments", the keyboard short-cut in Writer is still Ctrl-Alt-N, but should be Ctrl-Alt-C now. 2nd: None of these short-cuts works in Impress or Calc. Why?
|Default Impress formula font should be much larger
|Issue 21118
|The default font size for formula in Impress (after Insert->Objects->Formula) is 12pt which is too small to read on the screen. It should be 16pt or 18pt.
|Default Impress formula should be scalable
|Formula are too small to read on screen, make them scalable by default on impress so it could be adapted to user's taste. (don't protect size by default on impress)
|Add default keyboard short-cut for inserting new slide
|Issue 100650 .
|Remove old word versions from Save As dialog
|Issue 21118
|Word 95 and 6.0 formats aren't being used much anymore, I have had several users accidentally click on them and lose data from the format change. Since they are at least 15 years old and the number of people using Word 95 and 6.0 are likely a very small number I suggest we disable it by default. (It might be possible to move it over to Export?)
|Remove old staroffice files from Save As dialog
|Impress, Writer, Calc
|Similar to above, but I haven't had users do it accidentally yet. It would also go a long way to make the save as-> file format dropdown less overwhelming to users. (It might be possible to move it over to Export?)
|Enable Vertical Text Button for all
|Impress, Draw
|Issue 54423
|It was disabled apparently on purpose but it makes the interface inconsistent. Also, in many presentations people try to use vertical text and can't find it (I have been asked by my users about this on many occasions). Alternative solution (which seems odd to get this functionality) is to enable "enhanced support for asian languages" by default.
|Enable Vertical Align Buttons
|I always enable toolbar buttons for vertical align text in the cells. MT: +1
|Enable Add Comment Button
|I always enable toolbar button for adding comment in writer
|Attach Numeric Styles to same Paragraph Styles
|At now default paragraph styles 'Numeric paragraph N' 'Marked paragraph N' have not same numeric styles. So, activation of NUMERIC style did not activate numeration of paragraph! It`s very unexpected for trivial user.
|Use ??/?? as default for fractions instead of ?/?
|Issue 67862
|New Document Property : PrintIntention
| All users who wish to create documents who has to been "printed" by a professional Printer (high resolution) struggles with the same problem:
The size/resolution off the graphics inside a OOdocument.
I propose to store a "Printer Intention" in the Document

|Default user annimation
|Issue 62838
| I want to create a user animation with default behaviour: The object just pops up with no tricky animation. Therefore I have to search for this "animation" type (called in german: "erscheinen") every time within the large list of possible animations. This costs me a lot of time. It would be better, when this were the default, and only if I really want fancy animation, then I have to choose from the list.
clu: idea .. usage tracking can show if one setting is significantly more often shown than other .. and this one can became the new default
|Duration of pause to 0
|Issue 49762
|In Slide Show settings (Slide Show - Slide Show Settings), Impress features a setting for the "duration of pause before the slide show is repeated". It defaults to 10 seconds. I would suggest to have the default set to 0 seconds in order to improve compatibility with MS Powerpoint users, and secondly to leave the decision to insert a pause to the user.
|Slide Titles editable in navigator
|Issue 21888
|The Navigator is a very handy tool to move through a presentation and it also can act as a mini outline of the presentation. However, now the only way to change the slide title shown is to display the Modify Layout dialog from the Format menu. It would be a very nice addition to allow the user to directly edit the title of the slide shown in the Navigator directly in the Navigator.
|Real Slide Titles in Navigator
|Issue 21888
|It would also be very useful to display the title actually shown on the slide itself as the title unless the user deliberately changed it. The current "Slide 1", "Slide 2", etc. defaults are not very useful for identifying the slide.
|Change default table color
|Issue 102922
|After inserting a table I change the color of my table. I added the data. Now if I want to add a new row, then despite the color of my whole table it inserts the row with default color (blue combination). So I need to select that row again & then change the color. Steps to reproduce the bug:
|Shortcut for adding a new slide
|Issue 100650
| => alt+i+e fix that problem .. a better solution like ctrl+i or ctrl+s etc. (for insert slide) or ctrl+m are already in use; and to add an unintuitive shortcut to replace an other unintuitive shortcut by limitating shortcut possibilities for future needs make less sense
|Open pps files in show mode
|Issue 52755
| If, during installation, a user choses to associate Microsoft PowerPoint documents with Open Office, the default behavior for a .pps (PowerPoint Show) file is changed to this:
"C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.109\program\soffice.exe" -o "%1"
This causes the presentation to be opened in edit mode when double clicked. However, when using Microsoft PowerPoint as the default handler, double clicking a .pps file causes it to immediately start the show. To achieve the same behavior, and hence ease the migration from MSO to OOo, I believe the default behavior for .pps files should be as follow durring installation:
"C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.109\program\soffice.exe" -show "%1"
|Disable "Allow quick editing" mode as default
|The so called quick editing mode at /tools/options/draw/general or /tools/options/impress/general should be disabled by default because people will be able to detect and to move text objects more easily
|"Number recognition" (in tables) should be turned of by default,
|It's usefull for advanced user, but disorientating / annoying for new users. Advanced user can easily switch it on.
|Default shadow should be transparent and smaller
|A better shadow effect can be achieved with Distance : 0,1 cm (instead of 0,3) ; Color : Black (instead of Grey) ; Transparency : 60 % (instead of 0%)
|"tagged PDF" as default
|PDF-Export: set "tagged PDF" as default (30% bigger files, but accessible by default) .. from letter of MT
|"don't register" as default
|First-Start-Wizard: "don't register" as default .. from letter of MT
|Improvement Program in startup wizard
|Move the question about participating in the improvement wizard to the first run wizard. (Alternatively put them both as part of the install)
|Don't put OO install files on Desktop
|It makes OO look messy when it has to extract the files to the desktop first. Removing the extra extraction step would be the best, but if not, extracting to a temporary location, and then deleting when done.
|Keyboard shortcut to make fine position adjustments
|Draw, Impress
|Issue 107125
|I often use the alt+arrow keys to make fine adjustments to the position of drawing objects in Draw and Impress. In Mac OS X, that shortcut is assigned to switch 'Spaces' (the multiple desktops in Mac OS X).
|Double-click to bring up 'Position and Size' dialog box
|Currently, the easiest way (AFAIK) to reach the 'Position and Size' dialog box for a drawing or text box object is from the right-click context menu. It would be nice to activate it upon double-clicking on the object ala MS Office. Currently, double-clicking the object brings up a cursor to allow text entry.
|Increase default size of graphics cache
|Issue 63253
|Many users know nothing about the size of the pictures they insert in their documents and they encounter performance problems often due to the too small size of graphics cache.
|Change print default to 'All Sheets'
|In the file/print dialog the default setting is 'Selected sheets', but should be 'All sheets' and this can confuse normal user because 1. the user await that the whole doc is printed if he push the print button; not from selected sheet on (that can give a lot of confusion) 2. the preview can show a different numbering and amount of pages than the print outcome 3. the user do not await this behavior if he does not made further settings and this is an inconsistent behavior to f.e. writer which print all pages by default (from cj).
|Make the "record changes" feature more attractive
|The "record changes" feature is not easy to find. Two suggestions: 1. Rename the toolbar from "Changes" to "Record changes". 2. Add icons to the toolbar buttons to make them more visually appealing.
|Adapt the "update extensions" dialog to make it look like the "extensions manager" dialog.
|The "update extensions" dialog should use the same layout that the "extensions manager" dialog uses.
|No Splash Screen
|Disable the splash screen by default, 3.2 is fast enough starting. it just feels like it is getting in the way.
|Disable OpenOffice's Open/Save Dialogs
|At least on Ubuntu Linux the non OpenOffice dialogs are much much easier to use and more consistent with the platform. You can try for yourself in options -> General -> Open/Save
|Autotext default preview window too small
|The default preview window of the Autotext dialogue is too small. It is almost impossible to read the available autotexts in that window.
|Do not close Toolbar dialog automatically
|In View-Toolbar we can see a dialog to select the toolbars we want to be visible. Many times we are looking for a set of functions we do not know exactly in which toolbar they are implemented. So we select on toolbar and the dialog closes. We check the functions are not there, select View-Toolbar again, deselect the previous toolbar - and the dialog closes. Select again View-Toolbar, select another toolbar, and the dialog closes. You can now see what I mean. If the default is to keep the dialog open until we are satisfied that all the needed toolbars are selected we could save time and avoid frustration
|remove 'Display Grid' icon from 'Standard' toolbar
|delete 'Display Grid' icon from 'Standard' toolbar -> it is only 0.02% clicked (one of the fewest) and also available over menue
|"Save as" should always offer ODF as default file format
|If a Word-,Powerpoint-,Excel-file is opened in OpenOffice.org and one selects "File"->"Save as", the default file formats should be .odt/odp/ods instead of .doc/.ppt/.xls.
|Some default settings in toolbar drawing/zeichnen are confusing
|Some default settings in toolbar drawing/Zeichnen are not chosen well: (1) The default for standard forms/Standardformen is a rectangle, which already has another default entry in the drawing toolbar with the name "rectangle"/Rechteck. It would make more sense to choose in "standard forms" another default setting such as "rounded rectangle" or something else. (2) The tool tip for insert image/Bild einfügen is "Aus Datei", which is much worse than "Bild einfügen", so why? (3) Why is the icon/selection "lines and arrows/Linien und Pfeile" hidden by default in the drawing toolbar? It would make sense to add it to the toolbar by default or to replace the icon "Linie mit Pfeilende/line with arrowhead" with the selection "Linien und Pfeile" (which also includes the "Linie mit Pfeilende"). (4) Why is there an entire independent toolbar called "Kreise und Ovale/Circles and ovals"? These elements should be by default in the drawing toolbar and not separated.
|pdf-export with comments should only export commented slides
|In the pdf-export options in Impress it is possible to export comments but the problem is that this options leads to an exports which contains all slides without comments followed by all slides with comments. This is not what the normal user expects. Please change this option so that only the commented slides are exported.
|Initialize the writer
| I always set the following in Writer, if they are not set already:
set the measurement units to metric set tab stops to 1.5cm
set the firstline indent for indented paragraphs to 0.75cm
set for headings 1-4 the before text indent to 0.75cm and the firstline text indent to -0.75cm
set for all styles I use the above paragraph and below paragraph spacing to be rounded to then nearest mm. e.g. 0.2, 0.3 instead of 0.21
turn off (this most annoying) autocorrect for two initial capitals
capitalize first letter URL recognition custom quotes
set autocomplete accept to TAB, not return! everything else in the world uses tab for autocomplete.
(from a letter of st)
|Properties on context
|I make changes to the drawings/text box objects that I make in impress almost all the time. Currently, apart from the easily accessible options that appear as buttons on the toolbar, the way to do this is to right-click on the object, go to the 'Properties' dialog box and change them. In MS Office this 'Properties' window can be accessed by double-clicking on the object. OOo default for double-clicking, say, a filled rectangle is to bring up a cursor to enter text. It would be nice to have the 'Properties' window appear like in MS Office unless there is a compelling reason for the current behavior. (from a blog comment of vamsi)
|Border/Backgroundcolor button on toolbar is not 'sticky' on Calc
|please consider also issue 10864 (from a blog comment of tommy)
|empty bullets should not be shown in presentation
|like it is at ms office (from fl)
|serial effect for set of bullet points
|if you have a set of bullet points and you want the single points to f.e. 'fly in' you should have the possibility to take the whole box and give it the effect that they serial fly in .. (from fl)
|Last accessed element in sidebar/Aufgabenbereich should be default for sidebar of next slide
|The active element in the sidebar/Aufgabenbereich always jumps back to the default element "Layout" and not to the last accessed element, e.g. "Slide transitions/Folienübergang". This can be extremely annoying. For example: If I want to edit the "custom transitions" on several slides, always after switching to another slide, the sidebar "forgets" that I was working on "custom transitions" and goes back to the default "Layout". Always the last accessed element should stay the active element, if one switches to another slide.
|Change rotate button in mode on/off
|if you push the rotate button the rotate mode is on .. if you push again i awaint to switch the mode off but that does not happen .. you must click anywhere and on the shape again to switch back to the 'normal' selecting mode
|misc autocorrects
|turn off (this most annoying) autocorrect for - two initial capitals - capitalize first letter - URL recognition - custom quotes - set autocomplete accept to TAB, not return! (from blog comment of Marcello Romani)
|space key to shift slide
|in zoom toolbar you have an icon called shift for this job, but a keyboard shortcut is missing .. photoshop and other graphical apps use the space key for that which seems to be a good solution (fl)
|Add a button "Save Template"
|automatically recognize a new template not on file, perhaps, or just notice that a template is open and offer the button (from a chat I had with a sales guy)
|provide presentation manager in separate window in one computer/monitor
|Provide this as a possibility without the need for a second monitor, so that presenters can practice a presentation as if they were in the real situation, but only need one computer/laptop to practice on (from a chat I had with a sales guy)
|when inserting in Impress, automatically open a text box
|the default would be a text box just appears when Paste is chosen---is it possible to identify what is on the clipboard to be pasted? i.e., if text, then text box opens (from a chat I had with a sales guy)
|show links with the "short text" instead of the path
|(from a chat I had with a sales guy)
|Text in slide show should automatically adjust to the vertical middle of slide
|to make it look professional without the user having to fiddle with it (from a chat I had with Rosana)
|Add more page layouts
|I have drawings of 3 example layouts (from a chat I had with Rosana)
|switch task pane off
|at the moment the task pane is on by default .. with the new changes in design it makes rather no sense to keep this default (fl)
|Zoom fit to width
|Writer, Impress
| Size of area to work should fit itself every time when user add or hide panel (Stylish, Task/Slide panel)
CLU: as i understand you the current impress already behave like that: close task or slide pane -> work area grows, activate them -> work area shrinks .. may you describe it more precise for better understanding .. thx
Quest: This is exactly what I thought. You can also watch short example movie: Zoom fit to width.ogv [4 MB]
|Check all words
|Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > Options. "Check uppercase words" and "Check words with numbers" are unchecked.
|Lower level macro security
|In currently state (high level), OO.o automatically doesn't run any macros. In medium level, OO.o doesn't run macro, but ask user if should it be run.
|Making wrapping Macro requiring documents into oxt extension simple
|I see lowing macro secuirty as wrong. Since over 90 percent of all documents out there don't require Macros so disabled completely by default makes sense. Most documents that require macros are either hacking over defect in program or Wizards. Both hacks and Wizards make more sense installing as extensions. Currently creating extensions is a pain in ass.
|Information bar on the top instead pop-up
|It concerns passwords, macros and may be comments. Please, look at DirectManipulationSnippets#Mockups_3
|More security user's data
|Options > Load/Save > General. Always create backup copy is unchecked and Save AutoRecovery take too much time. It shouldn't be 15 min, but 2-3 minutes.
|dragging and dropping a graphic should embed the graphic
|Issue 107641
|.. not create a link .. by exporting or replacing the document the link gets 'corrupted' and the graphic seems to be lost (letter from stella)
|Fix navigator to have option to display unnamed
|This is another pain in ass item. Having to go to navigation tool bar to click threw all objects to find unname.
|Make navigation tool bar dockable and listed in the list of toolbars
|Currently as a floating window with a magical little dot to click on makes it harder to find also as a floating window harder to use. Its called a toolbar make it act like one.
|Picture Inserting Writer Lacks Rotation
|If you insert image into draw then copy and paste to writer rotation is there. A option to covert picture to a drawing option to enable rotation in writer would improve usability. Ie open up picture option turn on rotation picture becomes wrapped in a drawing object. The mirror option is also required.
|Word wrapping through default to background instead of forground
|Most cases turning through on with word wrapping you want to write over image not image sitting in foreground over text.
|General look popups
|All popups windows in OO.o should have the same, general look'n'feel. Please, use patch from Go-OpenOffice.
|Enhancement print preview
|Writer, (Calc ?)
|Print preview in Writer shows 65% page. Next 75%, 100%, 150%. All time, zoom is focusing on the same place, so user see only half page (in case of 100% and more) and second half is cut from the left. Additionally user must move scrollbar. Besides, if we have two and more pages in Writer, zoom is focusing on grey background between pages. MS Office needs only 1 click to zoom page to readability size. If we have two and more pages, Word is focusing on one page, ignoring other. It fix problem with grey background.
|More resizeable Findbar
|Findbar should be longer and on bottom window (like in Firefox), or it can be only resizeable and localized anywhere. ;)
|Simpler way for page orientation
|People complains for too complicate way to made many and mixed vertical and horizontal page. I think, user should have 2 basic styles, which won't change all document. User may want to change one for three page, and he should can apply style for only e.g. second page.
|Ctrl+B & Crl+I to styles
|Now these key combinations make text hard-styled Bold or Italic. Will be useful to Assign them to soft default styles with bold and italic highlighting.
|allow slide scrolling
|by scrolling a slide and reaching the slide border you should have the possibility to scroll further to the next slide like MS ppt provides it (fl)
|Copy when moving by default
|under 'tools/options/general/copy when moving' you can switch on a default to copy an object by moving, when you have simultaneous the ctrl key pressed .. this is a nice behavior and does not disturb anyone (fl)
|delete Navigator icon
|the navigator icon in the standard toolbar is clicked under 0.1% and is one of the most unused icons there; therefore it only waste place and steel attention without being useful => delete this icon from standard toolbar (it is still available over the menue and the shortcut)
|Paste pictures from web
|Drag and drop any picture from net to Writer - you see pasted image. Drag and drop picture to Draw/Impress - you see frame with HTML code. Besides, user can't paste picture from URL (Insert > Picture > From file> URL). Impress/Draw shows "Unknow graphics format" error. Writer work well.
|Make ToC hyperlinked
|A ToC is more useful when it is with hyperlinks to the pages the heading is on.

Handover of the Neulerchendfeld church in 16th Vienna's district
His Grace Bishop Irinej of Backa, Administrator of the Diocese of Austria-Switzerland, received on 27 May keys of the Neulerchenfeld church in 16th Vienna's district, from Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn
With this solemn act the forementioned church became also the formal property of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Lots of guests from both sides, not only from ecclesial, but also from social life, attended this ceremony. Along with His Grace Bishop Irinej there were also: Bishop Ignatije of Pozarevac and Branicevo, David of Krusevac and newly elected Bishop Andrej of the Diocese of Austria-Switzerland. The ceremony was held also in attendance of His Eminence Metropolitan Arsenios of Austria (Ecumenical Patriarchate), President of the Orthodox Bishops' Conference in Austria. His Excellency Cardinal was accompanied by his vicar Dariusz Schutzky.
In his homily Cardinal Christoph Schönborn emphasized that in some parts of the city of Vienna number of Catholics was quite small, and that the number of the Orthodox had raised and that for the Roman Catholic Church it was crucial to preserve Christianity; according to him, his Church gladly helps the Orthodox while performing their pastoral mission.
Bishop Irinej thanked with words of gratitude and said that the received gift was priceless and that it would serve for the glory of God and salvation of the many who would pray in it, as it had been before.
After receiving the keys of the church, which Bishop Irinej handed over to Episcopal Dean for Austria, protopresbyter-stavrophor Krstan Knezevic, gifts were handed in: Bishop Irinej presented an icon of the Mother of God and an icon of the White Angel of Milesheva to Cardinal Cristoph Schönborn.

Torrington Board of Ed approves Certified Nursing Assistant course for high school
TORRINGTON >> In an effort to help students be college and career ready upon graduation, the Torrington Board of Education approved a new Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course, at Wednesday night's meeting.
The new nursing course was introduced as a small learning community, when Assistant Superintendent Sue Domanico first presented the idea to the School Improvement Committee in November. The small learning community was originally designed as a way to decrease the schools dropout rate.
When Domanico presented the new health course, the total start-up cost was estimated at over $300,000, which included hiring a full time teacher, professional and technical services, and supplies. That number has since been reduced to $70,000 with the biggest savings coming from having a two-year contract with an instructor from an outside program and eliminating the number of hours needed for the instructor.
As the health course continued to move forward, the idea transitioned into another option for students who may not want to go to college or join the military. In addition, the program would be a step forward in keeping students at THS, instead of a student choosing to attend another school.
Although the Board of Education approved the new course, with the 2013-14 budget season in it's early stages, there is a chance it may not come to fruition.
"We have to price it out. We think we put the money in the budget but we have to get the budget approved," said Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko.
In the Superintendent's budget proposal for next school year, she proposed a 5.6 percent increase just to maintain what the school district has now. However, many programs are at risk of being cut as a result, including all middle school and JV sports. However, if the Board of Education chooses a zero percent increase, the new nursing program may not happen.
"Before we do anything we have to make sure we have money in the budget," said Kloczko.
She said if the new course has to get cut as a result of the budget, other options will be considered, such as applying for grants to help fund the class.
The course is designed to prepare students who are interested in pursuing a career in the medical field to take the Certified Nursing Assistant exam (CNA) at the end of the program. A total of 20 students at a time can take the new course, along with any health and technology electives, all in addition to their core courses such as math, science, history and English.
According to Kloczko, Education Connection, an organization based in Litchfield that provides educational services to schools, agreed to collaborate with the high school to make the new course a successful program.

There are cars that are appreciated from day one of their lives, and there are cars that we take for granted until we realize they're all gone. This is the B scenario.
They made over 1.2 million Autobianchi A112s less than 700 miles from where I live between 1969 and 1986, still, finding a mostly sorted original car from the average of three for sale in the country is a tough call. Where did they all go? I guess nobody cared for them, and most were taken care by rust and racing.
It the United Kingdom, some British Leyland cars are completely gone. For a good reason of course, but even cars that could become nice classics can end up in the melting pot before enthusiast would realize their true potential.
In the US, cars like the Ford EXP, the second-generation Probe, 80s Accord hatches or the AMC Eagle have vanished in the last decade. But which once common ride left the biggest shadow?

Could Chris Paul return to New Orleans?
Could Chris Paul return to New Orleans as a free agent this summer?
When NBA free agency rolls around in a few months Paul and Dwight Howard will be the most sought after players available. Sure, Josh Smith and Al Jefferson may also land max contracts but CP3 and DW12 are the game-changers.
When I mention Chris Paul returning to New Orleans most people give me a stink face and say "it'll never happen."
While I completely agree that Paul ending up back in New Orleans is a long shot, it's still worth discussing.
Realize that the NBA is so crazy we're having discussions about LeBron James returning to Cleveland as a free agent in the summer of 2014! The fans that once burned his jersey now burn for him to return to northeast Ohio!
Paul is of course leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a second consecutive playoff appearance. But are the Clips better than San Antonio, Oklahoma City or even red-hot Denver?
I don't think the Clippers can advance past the second round. While deep, the "other LA" team certainly doesn't appear capable of beating the Spurs, Thunder or Nuggets in a series -- and I'd even put money on the Warriors or Rockets giving CP3 and company trouble in the post season.
That said, is Paul a lock to re-sign with the Clippers this summer?
Look, the Clippers are relevant because of Chris Paul.
Their are few true difference-makers in the NBA but Paul is one of them. Any place CP3 goes, he wins. Any place CP3 goes, other players have career seasons.
The guy is truly a special player!
If the Clippers can't advance to the NBA finals with the team they have now, will they ever be able to get there?
Clippers owner Donald Sterling is universally considered one of the worst owners in sports. Will Sterling continue to build a championship team around Paul? Or will Paul be stuck in an uncomfortable situation watching other franchises win title after title?
If the Clippers bow out of the playoffs earlier than they plan, the future of CP3 becomes more uncertain.
Will Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro be retained? What will the Clips do with aging veterans Grant Hill, Lamar Odom and Chauncey Billups?
Will Sterling pay CP3 and another big-ticket free agent this summer?
Does Chris Paul want to continue playing for "the other" team in Los Angeles? Sure, LA is a big market but the Lakers losing is still a bigger story than the Clippers winning. Imagine when the Lakers get back to winning.
All of the above make me believe Tom Benson will do whatever possible to try to bring Chris Paul back to New Orleans this summer.
Other owners, like the Mavericks Mark Cuban, will be lined up to pay Chris Paul and perhaps try to team him up with Dirk Nowitzki and Dwight Howard in Dallas, but New Orleans may be a better fit for CP3.
Chris Paul saved basketball in New Orleans. He led the Hornets back to the city after Hurricane Katrina and gave fans a reason to come to games. The success of the team in 2007-2008 helped keep the franchise in New Orleans.
Bringing Paul back to New Orleans would invigorate a fan base that's a bit tuned out right now.
Benson has to be upset his franchise is 29th in attendance and that fans have more jeers than cheers for so-called star player Eric Gordon.
Benson wants a winner and he wants a packed building! The best way to ensure both of those things happening is to give Chris Paul a max contract this summer for five years and $110 million.
For Paul to get $110 million he'd have to re-sign with the Clips (per NBA rules, a players current team can offer more than any other team) and than be dealt in a sign-and-trade. The Pelicans can make that happen by dealing Eric Gordon (a player who's worn out his welcome in NOLA) back to the Clippers. Gordon goes back to the franchise he never wanted to leave and Los Angeles plugs Eric Bledsoe in the starting lineup to replace Chris Paul.
It's just my opinion, but I believe Bledsoe was not moved at the trade deadline because the Clippers know losing CP3 is a realistic possibility.
Judging from his moves as owner of the New Orleans Saints, Tom Benson has always been an owner willing to spend money to win. The soon-to-be Pelicans are building a state-of-the-art training facility and the New Orleans Arena is getting an $80 million facelift. Paul played for and respects coach Monty Williams and the Hornets/Pelicans are a team on the rise. In fact, I'd argue with anyone that by next fall the Hornets/Pelicans will be a better team than the Clippers team Paul inherited when he agreed to be traded to LA in December of 2011.
A Pelicans team featuring a crunch-time unit of CP3, OJ Mayo (possible free agent signee), Otto Porter (2013 draft pick), Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis is pretty strong. Add in Greivis Vasquez, Robin Lopez, Jason Smith, Austin Rivers , Lance Thomas and Joe Ingals (another possible free agent signee) as well as a couple of serviceable veteran players and the Pelicans can go from really bad to really good overnight.
It's also worth noting that Chris Paul loved New Orleans and said over and over that he wanted to stay and bring our city a championship. Paul left New Orleans because of the horrible situation previous owner George Shinn put the franchise in financially. The NBA eventually took over the team from Shinn but had no interest in making winning moves until a new owner was found.
Now, the Hornets/Pelicans have long-term stability, an owner committed to winning and two leaders in Dell Demps and Monty Williams that all NBA people are very high on. Things in New Orleans are going great and everyone believes the best is still yet to come.
So, come back CP3 -- you helped saved us once, now help us win a championship.
All that said, will the dynamic point guard return to his pro basketball roots? It's the NBA, so anything is possible -- even CP3 back to New Orleans!

I'm familiar with MySQL's

Is there a way to output this query to a file and have it run every second or so?

I love to start a lesson with smiles and music so, I began this lesson with the Schoolhouse Rock song on the Preamble to the Constitution. My students could hear and see information on the Preamble to the Constitution in a fun, lighthearted way.
After the song I ask students what they think the word "preamble" means? Most know their affixes so they can infer the meaning is the words before the Constitution (because they heard references to the document in the song). I share that the dictionary defines the word as: A preliminary statement, especially the introduction to a formal document that serves to explain its purpose.
I then read students the Preview to the Writing of the Constitution to build their background knowledge on the Madison and his worries before I begin the lesson. This helps them make the connections later on to why the Founding Fathers were so worried about protecting the rights of citizens with it's wording.
From here I explain that our objective with today's lesson is to read the Constitution and discuss what it means, when it was established, who helped establish it and why it was created. We will also examine how it benefits us today.
I show students the Vocabulary Review worksheet with the Preamble written on it. We read the Preamble together. I share that the vocabulary is confusing because the words are not familiar. That makes it difficult for us to understand what is being stated in the sentences. I ask students to help us determine what synonyms could replace which words in the passage. This is a good way to check levels of understanding of the group and also to begin the class discussion of meaningful terms. When we finish we read the simplified version of the Preamble and I ask students to share what the authors of the Constitution were trying to share with this introduction to the document?
I then project the picture of the Constitution (so that they can see the length and wordiness of the document. I read a few lines to demonstrate the difficulty in deciphering meaning from the passages as they were written many years ago. This leads into my "kid friendly" summary of the Constitution that we will use in today's lesson to determine the main ideas of the document.
I share that they are going to be asked to work as a class to determine the meaning of each of the primary sections of the Constitution so that we can all understand it. I split the class into three groups and give each three summaries of the Constitution for them to compare, review and rewrite - summary one, summary two and the same section written in kid friendly language. I ask each group to use their whiteboards to write their own summaries of the main ideas of their sections. I have the class move into Executive, Legislative and Judicial groups. When they are finished they return to the carpet until all groups are gathered together. I only give them 10 minutes for this because they each have small sections to write and discuss.
We come together and each group shares their sections in order. As they share I build the Three Branches of Government poster based on what shared in each response by attaching the words, pictures and information in each section to give them a visual of the people and responsibilities of each branch. This is a good resource to post so, they can reference it for their post assessment and in later lessons on the Bill of Rights and government. Here's a picture of our final poster.
In this video I review difficulties we had with vocabulary and the outcome of our poster project.
Now I check student understanding. For this section I have students take a Three Branches of Government assessment to check how much they can remember and how well they can use the resources we created in the lesson.
I give them 20 minutes to finish but most finish in 10-15 minutes.
So now that we understand what jobs the three branches of our government do. We need to understand how they work together in a checks and balance system that ensures that all citizens have their rights to life, liberty and happiness protected.
To help them understand this I need to explain a little more about the system of checks and balances that our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution. I read the Checks and Balances passage and draw a picture of the connections between passing a law and the jobs each department has to ensure it is constitutional and protects the freedoms of all people not just a few.
Here's a picture of how mine turned out (I'm definitely not an artist)
I close by asking students what rules or regulations are missing from the Constitution? I prompt them by asking - Are there any rules that they should have added to make sure everyone got along? They weren't really sure at this point what could be added but a few mentioned creating laws to protect our families, freedom of religion (a connection to a prior lesson this child remembered) and no bullying (a current school focus). When the discussion died down, I share that the founding fathers and the citizens realized there needed to be some improvements made after they read and signed the Constitution. They soon realized that they needed to add some more rights and responsibilities to it and they called these additional laws - Amendments.

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo had a 2 hour face-to-face meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook, according to a post on the Ferrari site.
For Ferrari the USA is the most important market in the world. Luca di Montezemolo met Apple CEO Tim Cook and the heads of Google, talking in front of more than 600 students from Standford University. ''I'm not here to sell cars, but to communicate a dream," he said under the applause of the guests at the conference 'View from the top'. The Ferrari Chairman encouraged the young students to follow their dreams: ''Be creative, follow your goals, use technology, dominate innovation, but don't become dependent on machines, you have to be in the driver's seat of your lives. Never loose the curiosity for what is around you."
"Intelligence and innovative ideas can contribute to change and shape the future", Montezemolo concluded. "Passion and attention for the smallest details are what makes our cars, those who create them and those who drive them so special, living continuous excitement."
Passion was also the golden thread at the friendly meeting with Tim Cook: ''I was impressed by his availability and openness," Montezemolo said leaving the headquarters after a 2-hour face-to-face meeting. "We're building cars, they build computers. But Apple and Ferrari are connected by the same passion, the same love for the product, maniacal attention to technology, but also to design."
Tom Cook wanted to see the FF from close up, Montezemolo had used to drive to Cupertino, admiring the shapes and the interior of the 4-door 4x4 from the Prancing Horse, excited about the sound of the 12-cylinder engine. Excitement Ferrari has always been stimulating all over the world and also here in Silicon Valley.

Bollywood movies give Holi songs a miss
New Delhi: It's a festival that has inspired some evergreen songs and scenes in Bollywood, from 'Rang barse' to 'Holi ke din'. But notice how Holi has slowly been edged out of Hindi movies in the past decade?
Those peppy, trendy songs are conspicuously absent as another Holi comes around Thursday. Filmmakers put the blame on the strict adherence to script these days but say they will make a comeback.
"It is true that Holi celebrations are not shown in Bollywood movies these days. Unlike old movies where everything was incorporated, films nowadays strictly go by the script. So if the script does not demand a Holi song, then there is no point in keeping one," said film critic Taran Adarsh.
Films like 'Silsila', 'Sholay', 'Mother India' and 'Darr' have unforgettably captured the fun with colours. Songs like 'Rang barse', 'Holi aaye re kanhayee' and 'Ang se ang lagana' remain timeless and in real life, many consider Holi celebrations incomplete without these playing in the backdrop.
In fact 'Rang barse' from the 1981 release 'Silsila' remains an all-time favourite at every Holi party. Be it the young generation or the older one, everyone likes to shake a leg to this popular song.
Filmmaker Vipul Shah made an effort with the song 'Chhan ke mohalla' in 'Action Replayy'. It was picturised on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan during a Holi celebration, but as the lyrics were not around the festival, it could not create a lasting impression.
Director and writer Tanuja Chandra said, "Since a large number of movies these days are about urban affluent people and many are situated abroad, Holi doesn't figure high in the scheme of things. Only in small-town stories does Holi have significance."
"But I think Holi is an effective ambience for romance and will continue to be popular in love stories, especially those that have more of an Indian appeal."
She may be right. The song 'Do me a favour, let's play Holi' from Shah's 2005 release 'Waqt' was a chartbuster. Sung by Anu Malik, the modern catchy Holi number featured Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra and even today it is played to pep up the mood.
Malik wonders why directors shy away from it.
"I always wanted to do a Holi song and when I got a chance to do one, I gave it a twist and made it more contemporary. I don't know why filmmakers don't want a Holi song in the movie. May be they think it won't work, but it does work for me. These songs bring a different flavour to the film and change the mood of the audience," Malik told IANS.
Director and producer Goldie Behl says nowadays everything is guided by the script, but he is hopeful that Holi songs will soon make a comeback and splash colour on the silver screen.
He said: "There is always a trend that the industry follows, right now there is an absence of Holi songs but it will definitely come back. Maybe the makers feel the old Hindi Holi songs can't be replaced..."
Ravi Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini managed to create the old world charm of Holi with 'Hori khele Raghuveera' in the superhit family drama 'Baghban' (2003).
In fact, Holi songs have a long association with Bollywood's angry young man Amitabh Bachchan. From 'Rang barse' with Jaya and Rekha in 'Silsila' to 'Hori khele Raghuveera' in 'Baghban', the actor has been a part of the evergreen Holi songs.
And now, after 20 years, he is set to make an appearance in Deepak Sawant's Bhojpuri film 'Gangadevi' with wife Jaya in a Holi song.

Wauwatosa West teen accused of sexting could be back in class next week
A teenager under investigation for sexting in Wauwatosa plans to head back to school next week.
WISN 12 News reporter Colleen Henry investigates why that student is still free and whether he will be in the classroom on Tuesday.
VIDEO: Victim worried teen accused of sexting will be back school
"I thought it was OK because my friend knew the person. Obviously, that's a mistake I've made," said a Wauwatosa East senior who doesn't want to be identified.
The teen said she and a friend thought they were swapping explicit photos with a 15-year-old Illinois girl named "Haley. Soon, "Haley" was threatening to publicize the photos if the young women didn't send more.
They went to police back in the spring. Officers determined "Haley" was actually a boy and been a junior a Wauwatoosa West.
The suspect's been free all summer while police continue their investigation. The question now for his victims, is whether he will be back at school at Wauwatosa West when it opens on Tuesday?
This accuser goes to Wauwatosa East. Her friend attends Wauwatosa West.
In June, Wauwatosa's superintendent told WISN 12 News he would review the case to determine if the suspect could return to West. Friday afternoon, the district declined to reveal its decision, saying, "The district does not comment on student attendance in our schools."
This teen hopes the district will keep the suspect away from other students.
"Obviously, I don't want his education taken away from him, but I don't think it's fair to anyone to have to be worried is this person going to be at my school Is this person going to victimize me? I don't think people should have to worry about that," the girl said.
No one answered at the suspect's home Friday.
The Wauwatosa East senior said police told her they expect computer forensic results from the crime lab in the coming weeks, when they will take the case to prosecutors for review.
If charged, the suspect could be tried in juvenile court. Police believe he was 16 at the time of the offense.
