The OPEN Art Gallery in Louisville will feature visual artist Louisa Kleinert and musical artist Jon Silpayamanant at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 15.
Silpayamanant, a New Albany-based cellist, composer and multi-instrumentalist, will bring several of his musical projects to the gallery Saturday. Once introduced to Yo-Yo Ma as the world's "premiere Klingon cellist," Silpayamanant will be performing with his Indianapolis-based World Music Ensemble, il Troubadore and Steam Noir music/dance duo Secondhand, according to a press release.
Several of his local musical projects will also fill out the bill including Camera Lucida, a New Albany-based interactive video/dance/music group; Mercy Academy, a local Louisville based rock band; and Noiseman433, the name of a solo experimental music project that he's been performing under since the late 1990s. Silpayamanant will also perform collaboratively with Louisville based experimental musician R. Keenan Lawler.
Silpayamanant is the featured musical artist at the gallery show of local artist Louisa Kleinert. Kleinert is the youngest daughter of Louisville's world-renowned hand surgeon Dr. Harold Kleinert, and this will be her final art show in the city as she returns to the town that her father began his medical training in to pursue an MFA in art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, according to the release.
The event will take place at the new OPEN gallery, 2801 S. Floyd St., Suite 100, in Louisville, which is dedicated to showing art of all mediums, in an environment passionate about art with a voice.

You want power? With this job, you got it. And in more than horses.
As a repo man, you'll be taking away someone's mode of transportation, usually with a degree of surprise involved. This means the debtor won't be able to get to work, take her kid to the doctor, go to the grocery store, pick up his prescriptions, take his dog Max to the vet, and so on. If the debtor lives in a neighborhood with no bus service, you'll really be cramping her style.
Despite the fact that you are legally in the right, you might wrestle with the fact that you are single-handedly destroying a person's most convenient method of living his life. If you thrive on making other people miserable, or feel no degree of sympathy for people who can't pay their bills, this might not bother you. But, as one real-life repo man told us, "While you're legally in the right, morally, you sometimes face a conundrum about whether you're doing the right thing. But that's something you need to reconcile when you're alone by yourself in the dark of night."
As Bob Dylan says, "We all work for The Man, one way or another."

Seattle's Sergeant Jessica Pedro serves at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in California, working on F-18 fighter jets.
"I am an aviation electronics technician, so I work on the radar, navigation and weapons delivery systems," said Sergeant Jessica Pedro.
She does not load the bombs, but it is her job to make them drop.
"It is pretty cool. It's actually a really cool job, cool to be able to say I can do that," said Pedro.
Now Pedro can say that she has the chance to fight on the front lines thanks to the Pentagon's new policy allowing women to get closer to combat.
"I personally think it's really cool. I like the way the Marine Corps is going about it, they're not just going to try it. They're making sure everything's qualified and the best people are out there," said Pedro.
The Marines recently allowed two females to go through Infantry Officer School, a demanding three month course where Marines are taught how to make command decisions while fatigued and under extreme duress. One of the women dropped out on the first day, the other passed the course only to drop out later.
The male dominated branch of the military is not taking the decision to integrate women lighty.
"The approach that is being taken is not a rushed one, it's going to be done in phases," said Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Kazmier.
Female Marines are expected to be fully integrated into combat by 2016.
The goal remains the same. To put the most qualified marines on the front lines no matter what their gender.
"If you've got the mindset for it, I mean go for it. The Marine Corps has been the best thing that's every happened to me," said Pedro.
One team. One fight.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Mercedes Russell had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the West to a 92-64 win over the East in the McDonald's All-American girls game at the United Center on Wednesday night.
The Tennessee signee was voted the MVP.
The West jumped out to a 20-10 lead behind Tyler Scaife's seven points. Rebecca Greenwell extended the lead to 31-13 on a 3-pointer. The Duke signee came up limping after being fouled on a layup attempt with 3:28 left in the half. She did not return and finished with eight points, going 2 for 3 from 3-point range.
Scaife, the player of the year from Arkansas, finished with 15 points and four assists.
Diamond DeShields had 15 points and Makayla Epps added 13 for the East. DeShields signed to play at North Carolina and Epps signed with Kentucky.

'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years
Ha, excellent! I read Frank Herbert and Tom Clancy novels for fun, but always put off Atlas Shrugged because "it's too damn big". Doh. Finally got around to it a couple months ago and the parallels were eerie. I'll let a professional writer make the comparison since I'd muck up
If you too have put it off I recommend it, especially in the current climate. There are some spoilers in the article (especially toward the end), but well, Ms Rand wasn't exactly a subtle novelist..
'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years
Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read "Atlas Shrugged" a "virgin." Being conversant in Ayn Rand's classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government run amok was practically a job requirement. If only "Atlas" were required reading for every member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I'm confident that we'd get out of the current financial mess a lot faster.
Many of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive bailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very acts of economic lunacy that "Atlas Shrugged" parodied in 1957, when this 1,000-page novel was first published and became an instant hit.
Rand, who had come to America from Soviet Russia with striking insights into totalitarianism and the destructiveness of socialism, was already a celebrity. The left, naturally, hated her. But as recently as 1991, a survey by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club found that readers rated "Atlas" as the second-most influential book in their lives, behind only the Bible.
For the uninitiated, the moral of the story is simply this: Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.
In the book, these relentless wealth redistributionists and their programs are disparaged as "the looters and their laws." Every new act of government futility and stupidity carries with it a benevolent-sounding title. These include the "Anti-Greed Act" to redistribute income (sounds like Charlie Rangel's promises soak-the-rich tax bill) and the "Equalization of Opportunity Act" to prevent people from starting more than one business (to give other people a chance). My personal favorite, the "Anti Dog-Eat-Dog Act," aims to restrict cut-throat competition between firms and thus slow the wave of business bankruptcies. Why didn't Hank Paulson think of that?
These acts and edicts sound farcical, yes, but no more so than the actual events in Washington, circa 2008. We already have been served up the $700 billion "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act" and the "Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act." Now that Barack Obama is in town, he will soon sign into law with great urgency the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan." This latest Hail Mary pass will increase the federal budget (which has already expanded by $1.5 trillion in eight years under George Bush) by an additional $1 trillion -- in roughly his first 100 days in office.
The current economic strategy is right out of "Atlas Shrugged": The more incompetent you are in business, the more handouts the politicians will bestow on you. That's the justification for the $2 trillion of subsidies doled out already to keep afloat distressed insurance companies, banks, Wall Street investment houses, and auto companies -- while standing next in line for their share of the booty are real-estate developers, the steel industry, chemical companies, airlines, ethanol producers, construction firms and even catfish farmers. With each successive bailout to "calm the markets," another trillion of national wealth is subsequently lost. Yet, as "Atlas" grimly foretold, we now treat the incompetent who wreck their companies as victims, while those resourceful business owners who manage to make a profit are portrayed as recipients of illegitimate "windfalls."
When Rand was writing in the 1950s, one of the pillars of American industrial might was the railroads. In her novel the railroad owner, Dagny Taggart, an enterprising industrialist, has a FedEx-like vision for expansion and first-rate service by rail. But she is continuously badgered, cajoled, taxed, ruled and regulated -- always in the public interest -- into bankruptcy. Sound far-fetched? On the day I sat down to write this ode to "Atlas," a Wall Street Journal headline blared: "Rail Shippers Ask Congress to Regulate Freight Prices."
In one chapter of the book, an entrepreneur invents a new miracle metal -- stronger but lighter than steel. The government immediately appropriates the invention in "the public good." The politicians demand that the metal inventor come to Washington and sign over ownership of his invention or lose everything.
The scene is eerily similar to an event late last year when six bank presidents were summoned by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to Washington, and then shuttled into a conference room and told, in effect, that they could not leave until they collectively signed a document handing over percentages of their future profits to the government. The Treasury folks insisted that this shakedown, too, was all in "the public interest."
Ultimately, "Atlas Shrugged" is a celebration of the entrepreneur, the risk taker and the cultivator of wealth through human intellect. Critics dismissed the novel as simple-minded, and even some of Rand's political admirers complained that she lacked compassion. Yet one pertinent warning resounds throughout the book: When profits and wealth and creativity are denigrated in society, they start to disappear -- leaving everyone the poorer.
One memorable moment in "Atlas" occurs near the very end, when the economy has been rendered comatose by all the great economic minds in Washington. Finally, and out of desperation, the politicians come to the heroic businessman John Galt (who has resisted their assault on capitalism) and beg him to help them get the economy back on track. The discussion sounds much like what would happen today:
Galt: "You want me to be Economic Dictator?"
Mr. Thompson: "Yes!"
"And you'll obey any order I give?"
"Then start by abolishing all income taxes."
"Oh no!" screamed Mr. Thompson, leaping to his feet. "We couldn't do that . . . How would we pay government employees?"
"Fire your government employees."
"Oh, no!"
Abolishing the income tax. Now that really would be a genuine economic stimulus. But Mr. Obama and the Democrats in Washington want to do the opposite: to raise the income tax "for purposes of fairness" as Barack Obama puts it.
David Kelley, the president of the Atlas Society, which is dedicated to promoting Rand's ideas, explains that "the older the book gets, the more timely its message." He tells me that there are plans to make "Atlas Shrugged" into a major motion picture -- it is the only classic novel of recent decades that was never made into a movie. "We don't need to make a movie out of the book," Mr. Kelley jokes. "We are living it right now."
Yep.Pleasing nobody, one person at a time.
That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.
If I lived every day like it was my last, the body count would be staggering.
I intend to go in harm's way. -John Paul Jones
Hunt the wolf, and bring light to the dark places that others fear to go. LT COL Dave Grossman
I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating. Without anything short of a new revolution, the Income Tax will not go away. Why? Because the government doesn't give up whatever you power you give it- no matter how "temporary" they say it is.
I think we should start that revolution by getting behind a tax program that will work: The Fair Tax."If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking." -Gen. George S. Patton

The Dining Hall Is So Welcoming. The dining hall is such a welcoming place to be. It feels so good to walk in and be with so many friends for each meal. The menu at Anna Maria has many healthy options, and though some of us love the many choices we have, others are not always satisfied with the complex food options. This is my favorite place to be each day on campus. I can be there hours just enjoying my time with people.

By JEFF MEYERS Press-Republican
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Residents and staff of the Vilas Home in Plattsburgh are marking the 125th anniversary of the historic building, and they want to share the celebration with the community.
The Vilas Home, located on the corner of Beekman and Cornelia streets, will be host to an open house Sunday morning with activities for family members of all ages.
"We like to think of the Vilas Home as very comfortable and very homey for our residents," said Scott Hurlburt, administrator of the adult-living community.
"It's like a quality piece of leather that has aged over 70 years. It has scratches and some discoloration, but that makes it all the more attractive."
The Vilas Home was built in 1888 by Samuel F. and Harriet Vilas as a home for senior citizens who were unable to live alone. The original name was the Samuel F. Vilas Home for Aged and Infirmed Women.
"I believe that Harriet was more the driving influence behind the establishment of the Vilas Home," Hurlburt said.
"The home was originally built to house 12 elderly women and served Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties.
"Mrs. Vilas also took in derelict women and children, and in exchange, those women took care of the elderly folk," he added. "The building could initially accommodate 31 residents."
Historians consider the Vilas Home a prime example of Queen Anne architecture, with its truncated hip roof, cross-gable wings, arched windows, recessed porches and shingled pillars.
The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the provisions of the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966.
In the 1990s, a 12-bed addition was constructed at the back of the Vilas Home, but the addition has kept the traditional quality of what Mr. and Mrs. Vilas intended when they first mused of a home for seniors in the latter years of the 1800s.
Decorations along the building's first-floor main corridor are modest, with an elegantly colored mailbox of blue and violet flowers greeting visitors after passing through an attractive front porch and into the house via the main door.
Two large portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Vilas hanging in the hallway signal the important role they played in ensuring that residents today enjoy a safe environment with a valued level of independence.
"The Vilas Home has a storied history of keeping folks here as residents for a long time," Hurlburt said, noting that one current resident has been at the home for 13 years.
"We have amazing people here as our guests. Our residents have some great memories and are really a treasure to the area.
"Many of these men and women served in World War II or worked in factories in support of the war," he added.
He also praised a veteran staff that sees to the needs of the residents and have become a part of the extended family for those residents.
"This is not a nursing home," he said. "Our folks are pretty independent. The Vilas Home doesn't just include the residents; their family members become a part of our family, as well."
Residents typically arrive at Vilas through individual referrals. They are often not well enough to stay at home alone but are strong enough to function in the Vilas Home's independent environment, Hurlburt explained.
Daily activities abound for residents, and a resident council works with the staff to plan functions and activities that interest the people living at Vilas.
Ruth Hagen, born in New York City and a resident of western New York for most of her life, is beginning her eighth year as a resident of Vilas.
"I came up here (to Plattsburgh ) because my daughter (Ruth Mowry) was living here," she said of her initial interest in the Vilas Home. "We'd pass (the home), and I'd ask her what it was, and she said, 'Oh, it's an old-person's home.'"
Hagen developed some health concerns shortly after, and her family decided it was best if she did not live at home alone. She looked to that elegant building she had passed so often as her potential new home.
"I'm very happy here," said the 94-year-old resident. "We now have a very wonderful director (in Hurlburt). His door is always open, and he has been available to help me solve some problems."
Jeanne Dragoon, 87, who has lived in the Plattsburgh area all her life, has been at Vilas for about two years and has plenty of praise for her new home.
"When you can no longer live alone at home, this is the most wonderful place you can be," she said. "They treat you with respect. They do everything they can to make you healthy and happy."
Dragoon's neighbor at Vilas, Eleanor Tregan, was a lifetime resident of Saranac before joining the Vilas family a few years ago.
"Everything is great," she said. "The friends you make are wonderful. It's very comfortable."
Thelma Douglas, 92, has been at Vilas for four years and was a resident of Plattsburgh for 70 years. She worked in the Plattsburgh City School District as a physical education instructor.
"For a number of years, I took care of a good friend at home, but then she had to move to the Vilas Home," Douglas recalled. "I knew the place very well, and when my health failed and I could no longer stay at home, I knew this was the place for me.
"They do a great job," she said of the staff. "They make it a home, not an institution."
"Each one of our residents is a repository of America, of the way it was," Hurlburt said. "For me, this has been a wonderful opportunity to share in their lives."

100% of the CEO
John B. Crowe
Pros – A lot of autonomy
Great people
Cons – Limited $ investment in some site
Pros – the people are the best and really care
Cons – very heavy workload, need more mgmt hired, with so many extra duties it is hard to do all well
Advice to Senior Management – offer incentives for healthy living and a gym onsite. would greatly help with out of hand healthcare costs for the many unhealthy workers there. Also need more shift employees, their overtime is too high and if the company truly cares about safety they need to get all overtime lowered...its way too high for the shift workers.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Despite a few bad actors, BKI has some very solid thinking in an industry where times are difficult almost all the time. John and a few people around him have the right thinking and that does help. With new focus on cash and lean, BKI has the tools to make good headway when times are at least better.
Cons – While the right thinking is in place, execution of strategy follows an old style and is too slow. Too many people have a vested interest in the status quo and people who can really execute sometimes cannot. The internal politics despite the wishes are indeed overwhelming more solid results.
Advice to Senior Management – Incent and let lead
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Here is an excerpt from my latest article on IBM's Developerworks (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/agile/library/a-vt/index.html):
"Velocity is a measure of productivity that project managers sometimes use in Agile software development. You calculate the velocity by counting the number of units of work completed in a certain interval, which is determined at the start of the project. The main idea behind velocity is to provide a lightweight methodology for measuring the pace at which a team is working and to assist in estimating the time needed to produce additional value in a software-development project.
This article explains the principles behind velocity tracking. It also discusses the resources project managers use to assist in effective velocity tracking, such as iterations, burn-down and burn-up maps, backlogs, issue tracking systems, and project management software."
I think I like this person (http://www.thelinuxblog.com/mashups-strategies-for-the-modern-enterprise-review/):
"I thought I knew a bit about mashups, which is why I was hesitant to pick it up. After taking it [Mashups: Strategies for the Modern Enterprise] home I found it to be way more in depth than I first imagined. Explaining different models in depth really makes one think about the larger pictures. There is a whole chapter dedicated on how to create a sample mashup. It gives the principles and leaves the reader (in this sense me) with a better understanding of the inner workings of mashups. It even includes a portion on security that doesn't just seem like it was added in as an after thought."
Now this is Argentine Tango at its best:
Check out my latest article on IBM's developerWorks, "Add XML as a data mining tool: Delve into the role of XML in data mining with tips and techniques on how to use it" at: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-xmldatamine/index.html
WordPress is certainly one of the easiest to use blogging platforms available and it makes quite a decent CMS platform. The paging functionality is a hurdle at times for general CMS work. I would love to hear tips and techniques about how to use WordPress pages for general CMS work.
Mashstream defines the basics for mashups, linked data, and semantic web
In his post, Michael Hiatt defines the basics of mashups, linked data, and the semantic web in very understandable terms. He also explains some of the challenges and projections for these concepts. I particularly like his example of a simple enterprise mashup:
"One simple example of a mashup is an aggregated Sales application that integrates CRM and financial data with functionality from the Web and corporate backend data. This example mashup would employ real-time information, streaming content, and Web services to form a coordinated application using all of these data sources. Integrated sales information for the traveling sales person could be available from their smart phone or laptop. I imagine this sample application to include these integrated features:
- Streams real-time Web information of financial and customer relationship management (CRM) data from NetSuite or Salesforce.com, combining it with online maps to visually identify, locate and categorize customers for each geographical location. Using Google Maps or Mapquest APIs, each customer site appears on the map and allows the sales person to drill down using the map paradigm to identify customer sites to expose new sales or possible upsell opportunities.
- Background information and Request for Information (RFI) documents could be generated partly using semantically rich content from DBpedia, the semantically structured content from Wikipedia. Integrated and updated glossary definitions of domain vernacular, references to partners and competitors could come together as competitive analysis documents. Prospective customers could read marketing evaluations combined with general reference content, and links to trusted independent blogger opinions, all from a single document.
- Internal, proprietary customer data about installed products, contracts, and upsell possibilities can be integrated with the maps, reference information, and sales database to provide personalized content for customers."
The basics and importance of mashups are explained in quite a playful, but understandable manner by IBM on the IBM Mashup Center Wiki. Check out the video below from this site:
The Windows desktop is as some say, "the ocean in which we swim." The Mac desktop is small, but very elegant. The Linux desktop is a whole new thrill for those of us who don't mind tweaking a few lower-level configurations. Where is the common ground among these strikingly different beasts? Adobe AIR.
Adobe AIR makes good on the write-once-run-anywhere promise that Java once had for the desktop and it does it very powerfully. The Adobe AIR runtime installs and executes apps written in ActionScript and MXML. This automatically opened it up to a vast base of Flash developers. The secret sauce for Adobe AIR is the sophistication that it offers to desktop apps executing in a virtual machine. Some might argue that AIR applications offer more to the desktop than the native languages of the OS. If you have not experienced the ease in which Adobe AIR permits you to write very powerful apps for all major desktops, I encourage you to do so.
I read an interesting article today on the Wall Street Journal web site. It discussed the merits (or lack of merits) of popularity rankings, specifically as they relate to online news articles. One statement from the article seemed to me to describe the changes taking place right now concerning lifestreaming and/or social streaming. The complete statement (referring to a quote from Matthew Salgarik, a co-author of a study on popularity in the music world) reads, "Deducing merit from popularity can lead to self-reinforcing snowballs of popularity…These snowballs can grow much larger than their competitors, leading to winner-take-all markets." This statement is not all that surprising, however, it does point out very effectively how a wave of popularity can carry a given product or service, no matter how valuable or important, to the top of its class.
The transformation that is taking place across the Internet from a page model to a real-time stream model will surely be affected by this popularity phenomenon. Enterprises must be ready to embrace this new model and plan their web presence accordingly or be swept aside by the ever-changing waves of popularity.
I am proud to announce the launch of my new book, "Mashups: Strategies for the Modern Enterprise."
It is shipping in print and digital form at: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321591869.
It will be available on amazon.com on May 15, 2009. The book was a very interesting project that opened my eyes to the vast number of possibilities and challenges presented by a mashup architecture in an enterprise environment. I look forward to conversations about the book and mashup development in all forms.

By B.B. Singer
Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Certain oldies have been grossly overplayed, including in restaurants and pharmacies, and for me at least, have lost their emotive power, if they had it in the first place. You just say to yourself: hey, I heard this particular one 8,000 times on the radio when it first came out, then another 8,000 over the years, and now I have to hear it again?
However, some offerings one gets on local stations like 1440 AM can still move heck out of me and among the latter, I include two recorded back in the early '60s by a brother-sister duo born in a place called Niagara Falls. I'm referring of course to Nino Tempo and April Stevens, the professional names they adopted and which they made deservedly famous
Some will recognize the first of these records as quintessentially theirs, though it was done almost as an afterthought, cut very quickly, and included Stevens' spoken parts against Tempo's fine riffs almost by accident. This hardy salmon of a record was then released only after vigorous opposition from a heavy-hitting producer of the time, Ahmet Ertegun (I guess one shouldn't trust the suits inevitably to have taste or foresight). And then? The record became a monster hit and as it turned out, the biggest ever for Tempo and Stevens. And indeed, though this song "Deep Purple" went back to the Swing Era before World War II, the brother-sister version of the early '60s was and remains truly unique and wonderful.
Another by them that you occasionally hear on 1440 may surprise more — I certainly don't remember it on radio back in the day: the Tempo and Stevens rendering of "Stardust," done in the same thrilling manner as their "Deep Purple," and which can almost tear me up as I drive.
Some no longer know that "Stardust," penned by Hoagy Carmichael back in the late '20s, supposedly after being jilted, was at one time arguably the great American "standard," or certainly one of them. All sorts sang it through the '40s, including Frank Sinatra, still with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra. Artie Shaw said of his fine band-and-strings version circa 1941 that he knew it was a classic the day he made it; and I believe he was right. Some will remember as well Nat King Cole's "Stardust" he made during the '50s.
And yet, Tempo and Stevens took the tune into the early '60s entirely in their own wild, yet disciplined manner, again making their version unique and still enjoyable. (I'm sure some internet-savvy young may now check it out, and I think they'll be pleasantly surprised.)
Will we get a hip hop or techno version of "Deep Purple," or of that great old chestnut, "Stardust?" Call me old hat, but I hope not. For me the last "Stardust" that really counted was by that brother-and-sister duo from the Falls, both born in the mid-'30s.
Their father was a grocer and their mother, some say, a frustrated artiste. In any event, the family got nearer the entertainment action by moving during the '40s to the promised land of a still orange-scented, unpolluted Southern California. Tempo's jazzy feeling on the above-mentioned records came in part from his youthful efforts out there on a variety of instruments, and he remained a honcho primarily on tenor sax. He also appeared in Hollywood movies.
And his sister (originally named Carol) also sang as a youngster.
Funny how there are certain significant moments in your lives and more generally, in the life of a culture. These two deservedly scored with that dazzling "Deep Purple" in the early '60s, but right around the corner lurked a new era marked by the British Invasion, bringing massive success to the Beatles, Stones, and the rest; and the moment passed.
But apparently Nino Tempo and April Stevens have led happy, fruitful lives and still in the business; and probably still with that original Niagara Falls feeling inside, though living in very different regions such as Arizona.
I'm glad they overcame the big record producer's objections, very glad. The power of certain oldies is the power that comes from a happy combination of certain times, places, and fragile people who thankfully got to do their thing.B. B. Singer has taught at several colleges in the area, including Niagara University.

Last night at the Hearthstone Manor in Depew, nearly 200 members of the BTF's Council of Delegates debated, then voted on, the student attendance clause in the teacher evaluation agreement. The result: a nearly unanimous vote, with only one person abstaining.
I was not allowed into the room, so I can't tell you first-hand what happened.
What I can tell you is that one of the union reps I heard from afterward sent me an email that described in some detail what took place inside the room when the vote was taken.
Here is that email in its entirety, published here with the permission of the teacher who wrote it (but on the condition that I not identify the teacher):
I was one of the nearly 200 teachers that were in attendance tonight at the BTF Counsel of Delegates Meeting. To say that I am outraged at the meeting would be an understatement. To say that meeting was run in a fair and impartial way would be like saying the sky is green.
The meeting got particularly upsetting when discussion began on the motion to keep or remove the clause. Teacher after teacher got up and complained about the District, the State, the students, and the parents. Each teacher made their own individual pitch as to why we should all vote to keep the clause in the [annual professional performance review] document.
Teachers in support were met with public applause and standing ovations. Several teacher stood up to talk in opposition to the motion, and they were booed and told to sit down. As alleged professionals, in the same union, showing "solidarity", how one member can blatantly be rude and outright disrespectful to a colleague is beyond me. If their students acted that way in class, they would be outraged, and you can guarantee they would be removed by Security immediately.
Let the outrage continue... Phil stopped discussions at point to remind everyone that (not exact) "legally you do not have to vote here tonight in accordance with your buildings. Morally, you may want to, but legally you do not have to." If we were asked by the BTF to assemble the teachers in our buildings, take a vote, and bring those results back to the Council of Delegates, how can you be encouraged to not vote that way?! That is absolutely and utterly absurd.
Now, let's talk about the vote itself. Phil asked all those in favor to say "Aye". A majority of the delegates did respond. He said "all those opposed"... and waited no more than 2 seconds for a response, before moving on the abstentions. The three delegates from my building were not even able to open our mouths to vote no, because there wasn't time to do so. The only reason there was an abstention, is because that teacher cut Phil off while he was announcing the "unanimous" vote! While the Council of Delegates stood up for a standing ovation, there were at least 20 people that remained seated, in my opinion because they were not able to support the vote.
Never in my tenure as a BTF Delegate have I experienced such obvious irresponsibility on behalf of the teachers of the Buffalo Public Schools. To admit that layoffs may come as a result of this decision, and turn our backs on the newer younger crowd, because we "have paid our dues and put the time in" is the biggest lack of solidarity imaginable. The fact that myself and two other teachers from my building were verbally attacked after the meeting for not "understanding the greater good - you're new, what do you know" and "it's for your future". (Oh yeah, when I'm unemployed will I have a future?)
I have always been proud to be an employee of the Buffalo Public Schools. I take my job seriously, and strive to teach every child to the best of my ability. Today, I can officially say that I am absolutely ashamed to be a member of the Buffalo Teacher's Federation. We have screwed up big time. The supposed "virtually unanimous vote" is a sham. It was coerced, forced, and bullied onto the rest of us, costing millions of dollars and countless jobs.
Way to go Phil. Always the best for the kids, right?

/var/opinion - Long Live the Freedom of Linux
Microsoft is running scared, and has many good reasons to be afraid. Vista is destined to be a disappointment, an expensive one for Microsoft, OEMs and customers. I'm not saying it will flop. Vista will find its way onto many desktops because it will be preloaded on computers. But aside from one single Microsoft groupie, I don't know anyone who cares about Vista, let alone anyone who is excited about its release. Microsoft knows how much the Windows line has been botched. That's one reason why Microsoft is now trying to make money off every copy of SUSE sold by Novell. For more details, see my Web article on the Linux Journal Web site, "A Five Year Deal with Microsoft to Dump Novell/SUSE" (www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000121). Praise God, Red Hat flatly refused to sign a similar deal with Microsoft.
This inevitable botch job gives Linux an invaluable window of opportunity to grab desktops away from Windows. Why migrate to an expensive, bloated, poorly designed Windows when it's just as easy (or hard) to migrate to Linux on the desktop?
The best way to seize this opportunity is to make Linux distributions even more free, as in freedom, than they are now. Here are the freedoms I propose:
1) As stated in the Web article referenced above, make all your computers free of any Novell/SUSE software.
Don't pay Novell to funnel protection money to Microsoft so Microsoft won't sue you. Make Microsoft sue someone over patent infringements. I say "someone" because that someone really isn't likely to be customers. Such a bad PR move would bury Microsoft, and everyone at Microsoft knows it. Microsoft might sue someone over some patent or another, but let's get these issues in and out of court once and for all and have the issues settled for eternity. You can't make that happen if you pay Novell to support Microsoft's protection racket.
2) Make Linux free of anything that Microsoft can claim is a patent infringement.
Meanwhile, scour the code for anything that Microsoft might claim infringes upon its patents and replace it. OpenGL is a good place to start. Microsoft bought the patent for OpenGL from SGI in one of its many bail-out deals.
3) Make Linux free with every computer.
Linux distributors, both commercial and free, need to band together and pressure hardware OEMs to preload a preconfigured version of Linux. This is a difficult step because it calls for selfless cooperation between distributors, knowing that a rising tide lifts all boats. Red Hat should be content if its part of the joint effort causes Dell to preload Ubuntu instead of Red Hat or Fedora. Once Linux becomes a standard preloaded operating system, that is the time for individual distros to start fighting to sway the OEMs toward their respective products. Until then, they must fight as a group to get anything preloaded on the systems.
4) Make the Linux desktop and common applications geek-free.
I'll be optimistic and assume more Linux will get preloaded. In such a case, far more computer-illiterate people will use Linux. So rip the geek out of the desktop and the handful of the most popular end-user-oriented applications. Take these applications and bring all the most commonly used features to the surface. The photo management program LPhoto is an excellent example of one way to do this right. Things like red-eye reduction, print photo, e-mail photo and other common functions appear in four tabs of big buttons at the bottom of the window. You have to go to the menu for less popular operations like rotating a photo.
Don't remove features or skimp on advanced features. Just don't shove them in the face of the end user. You'd be amazed how much friendlier a program can be if you simply consolidate and organize the features that exist into easy-to-use tabbed dialogs and wizards.
Developers are already hard at work making improvements like these, but many are not moving quickly enough. It's not fun to pump true usability into an application, but it is absolutely essential in order to take advantage of this window of opportunity.
5) Fill in the gaping holes in free software with more free software.
Free up some developer time to create robust equivalents for the remaining Windows applications for which there are no reasonable equivalents—iTunes and Quicken, to name two examples. Yes, there are personal finance applications, but developers need to catch up enough to compete with things like Quicken.
Java will be free, as in GPL, soon. All distros should start installing Java by default now, in anticipation of when most if not all of the JVM will be GPL—add to that a number of excellent Java applications now missing from distros.
These are but a few suggestions, but they are necessary and require urgent attention. Given enough time, people will migrate to Vista by default, simply because they upgrade their computers. If we can take advantage of the window of opportunity soon enough, we could see a Linux desktop revolution in the very near future.
Nicholas Petreley is Editor in Chief of Linux Journal and a former programmer, teacher, analyst and consultant who has been working with and writing about Linux for more than ten years.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Not worth keeping
As the issue of selling the Hofmann Forest has been hashed and rehashed in The N&O multiple times, I am surprised that Dr. Ron Sutherland's piece was printed July 10. Apparently the naysayers have little concern for the future of the College of Natural Resources or for future students or faculty.
It has been stated and proved by evidence that the Hofmann Forest has been little used for research or teaching. Income from the forest has declined nearly 60 percent. Sale of the forest will provide the largest endowment of its kind in the world. Interest from that endowment will fund undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, lecturers, research technicians, student advisers and clubs, field trips and study abroad programs, upgraded and new facilities and equipment and myriad other activities that will ensure CNR is the premier college of natural resources in the world.
It's time to get rid of this albatross!
