A Look at Sourceforge Enterprise Edition
Did you know you can download SourceforgeEE for 15 users for free. You'll find it on Sourceforge.net and it comes in a VMWare appliance. That version will accommodate 50 users if you want to pay for more than 15 seats. From an enterprise point of view, the cost is quite reasonable.
In the world of corporate development, SourceforgeEE (SEE) is a delight. It's a Digital Development Environment that you can use for any cooperative project whether for technical writers or development. It's an essential tool to move from an analog environment to a shared digital one.
Everyone involved with a development process can share the same DDE. For example, Subject Matter Specialists can upload their functional specifications, those can turn into technical specs. So, the SME can look at the technical specs and see if they match up to their requirements and high-level submission. Project leads can use the tracker to keep up with tasks they set up originally. You can utilize the task module and QA personnel can do testing as each agile module completes. Developers can review each others code to see if everything fits together. You also have a bug reporting system.
You can use subversion or CVS for the code repository. The admin can assign rights and permissions to various facilities. So, members of the team can have read access or a limited view of various areas in SourceforgeEE.
The platform is not made strictly for Linux though SEE runs in Linux and Linux developers can use all of its functions. Still, many of the facilities fit a Microsoft development environment. Microsoft Office and Project can integrate directly into SEE.
The system comes with a VMWare player but we installed it in an ESX Server instance. You can also download the free VMWare server and run it there. It ran as soon as we expanded the compressed image. It worked right out of the box so to speak.
The features are too numerous to list. If you want a way to move from a linear development environment with all the paper work, consider SME. You can bring all the players in a project together, use the built-in forum to communicate and keep everyone up-to-date. I can see this DDE working to cut time to market in half.
Now, if you want more information, download it and look at the sample project. It will surprise you.
Tom Adelstein currently works as a contract technical writer in the Information Technology Field. In March 2007, his latest O'Reilly Book, Linux System Administration was released. Tom's home web site Open Source Today has tips and techniques for system administrators and Open Source VARs.
Still Free?
15 licenses, still free? I have follow tom posts for a while, really explore me about open source, please reply me if the license still free, I hope to collect more free stuff,thanks.

This is not an article, but rather an advert
We like the site www.sourceforge.net. However, this "article" is clearly an ad for a proprietary product. It would, I think, have been better to review Savane, which is based on the last F/OSS version of SourceForge (this is very similar to OpenSSH's history). It is currently used to power savannah.gnu.org (maybe others).
You gave a plug for the proprietary, closed-up version. Now, how about giving Savane a review? If you wish to compare the two, now, that might also make a useful article.
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.

Biography / Administrative history
The 23rd Canadian Reserve Battalion was organized at Shorncliffe on 4 January 1917. The battalion was formed by absorbing the 23rd and 117th Battalions under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel F.W. Fisher. Its authorization was published in Canadians' Routine Order 271 of 20 March 1917. The battalion also absorbed the 244th Battalion on 24 April 1917 and the 245th Battalion on 14 May 1917. On 11 May 1917, the 199th Battalion and the 22nd Canadian Reserve Battalion were absorbed and the 23rd was designated the 23rd Canadian Reserve Battalion (199th Duchess of Connaught's Own Irish Canadian Rangers). The 23rd Canadian Reserve Battalion reinforced the 14th and 24th Battalions, and after 11 May 1917, it also reinforced the 87th Battalion and the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles. The battalion moved to Shoreham on 5 January 1917, Bramshott on 11 October 1917 and Ripon on 2 February 1919. The 23rd Canadian Reserve Battalion returned to Canada on 4 July 1919 and was disbanded by General Order 149 of 15 September 1920.

Another busy week is on tap for the Buffalo Public Schools.
Events begin today with the parent-organized boycott of the schools, which is designed to draw attention to problems in the district and bring key stakeholders to the table to work out solutions. Opinions on the boycott itself are certainly split, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's going to argue against the ultimate goal, which is finding concrete ways to help more kids succeed in school and graduate.
The boycott of today's half-day of instruction will be followed by a noontime rally in front of City Hall (to be moved inside, to the lobby, if the rain becomes a problem), and later, by a prayer vigil at 6 p.m. in the same location.
You can follow our live blog of today's events, including the City Hall rally, here at the School Zone.
In the meantime, the Board of Education will meet behind closed doors at 5 p.m. to continue with its annual evaluation of Superintendent James A. Williams. Board members had until Friday to submit their individual evaluations of the superintendent. Chris Jacobs planned to compile the results over the weekend, and then share them with the entire board this evening.
It's unclear whether the board will release the composite results of the evaluation today, or wait until later in the week.
Speaking of the board, Pamela Cahill's term serving the Ferry District ended on Friday, when her resignation took effect. So the board is now officially down to eight members until it appoints someone to fill Cahill's seat.
The deadline for applications for that seat had been Friday, May 13 -- but because of low interest, the board last week voted to extend the deadline to noon on Friday, May 20, for anyone wanting to be considered for the Ferry District seat.
But the school-related action will hardly be relegated to the Queen City this week.
The Board of Regents meets today and Tuesday, with plenty of big-ticket items on the agenda.
Senior Deputy Commissioner John King is expected to be appointed as the new state education commissioner this week, to replace David Steiner, who will be stepping down. But ever since Steiner announced a few weeks ago that he planned to resign, it seemed -- at least from our perch here in Buffalo -- that King might as well already have been named the No. 1 guy in Albany, from the looks of things.
The Board of Regents this week also will be voting on regulations for the new teacher and principal evaluations, something that will be closely followed in faculty rooms and kitchens across the state.
Also on the Regents' agenda: figuring out a way to deal with the shortfall in funding for Regents exams, and talking about how and when to present the latest set of data for graduation rates.
And if that all weren't enough in the world of education this week, suburban voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots on school budgets and board elections.
You'll be able to find complete coverage of everything from the boycott to the budget votes and the Board of Regents here at The Buffalo News, starting with a live blog of today's boycott and rally, through the morning and early afternoon.

Turns out Johnny Heisman is just as good as Johnny Football.
In his first game after winning college football's top award, Texas A&M redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel set an AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic record for most total yards, leading his No. 9 Aggies on a 41-13 rout of No. 11 Oklahoma Friday at Cowboy Stadium.
Manziel ran for 229 yards on 17 carries, which was also a record for rushing yards by a QB in any FBS bowl game. The redshirt freshman completed 22 of 34 passes for 287 yards and two TDs and earned the Stanford Trophy as the game's most outstanding offensive player.
He scored the game's first touchdown in the first quarter by tight-roping the sideline for a 23-yard run. He ran another score in on a 5-yard rollout in the second quarter and then found Ryan Swope on a 33-yard TD pass in the third. Manziel capped his night with a 34-yard pass to Uzoma Nwachukwu in the fourth quarter to make it 41-13.
"There is too much talk about how you perform after the Heisman and about the layoff and all that," Manziel said. "There wasn't anything holding us back. No rust, there was nothing. We played as a unit and that's all you can ask for. I couldn't be more proud of the seniors and what they've done this year. To go out and win 11 games and do what we've done, is impressive."
In the first half, the 77th Cotton Bowl Classic was everything it was hyped to be, as both offense clicked up and down the field. Texas A&M (11-2) scored on an 8-play, 75-yard drive to open the game before Oklahoma (10-3) ripped off 16-play and 18-play drives that ended in field goals.
Texas A&M was able to stop the colorfully nicknamed BellDozer, Oklahoma backup and goal line QB Blake Bell on the first before forcing a Landry Jones incompletion in the back of the end zone.
The Aggies added Manziel's second TD after a pair of Sooner field goals to make it 14-6. Oklahoma then capped the quarter with a 13-play drive covering 83 yards that ended with a 6-yard TD pass from Jones to Justin Brown.
"You give Texas A&M all the credit for playing a great, great football game, and in particular the second half," Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops said. "They played outstanding. Johnny Manziel is everything he was billed to be, (that we) expected him to be. When you lose like that in the second half, the offense goes. We hadn't had a punt in the entire first half.
"We come out and go three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out, giving them all the field opportunities. You can't keep giving them opportunities. In the first half, we played together as a team, limited them, used the clock and scored. That's how you have to play 'em. In the second half, it totally broke down offensively and defensively. Our defense couldn't get off the field."
Oklahoma was seven for nine on third down conversions in the first half and was not forced to punt once. But, that changed in the second half, when A&M's defense held Oklahoma to one conversion on six attempts.
Dustin Harris provided the game's only turnover, picking off a Landry Jones pass in the second to set up Manziel's second rushing TD. Harris, a former Livingston quarterback who was playing in his final game with the Aggies, earned the McKnight Trophy as the game's outstanding defensive player, adding 10 tackles and a pass breakup to his INT.
"We made some adjustments, huh?" A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said. "I think tonight was really indicative of this season. It's one of the teams I thought in the country that truly got better every week. We didn't always do everything right all the time, but I don't think there was ever a game this year where these guys didn't play with tremendous effort. I think every week these guys understood what the plan was and they went out and executed it at a high level and played with a lot of energy. We were excited to play tonight. I think the energy in the building helped. What a great crowd."
A&M's offense kept going throughout the game, setting a Cotton Bowl record with 633 yards of offense and breaking a record previously held by USC, who had 578 yards in 1995 against Texas Tech. Manziel contributed 516 of those yards, both rushing and passing, but true freshman Trey Williams had three carries for 38 yards and a pretty 30-yard TD run in the third.
Junior tailback Ben Malena also added 56 rushing yards on eight carries with a 7-yard TD in the third quarter. Senior wideout Ryan Swope, playing in his final game with the Aggies, had a game-high 104 yards on eight catches and a touchdown.
A&M defensive end Damontre Moore, who declared for the 2013 NFL draft last week, had four tackles, including one for a loss, and a quarterback hit.
For Oklahoma, Jones finished 35 for 48 passing for 278 yards with one TD and one INT. Brennan Clay was the team's leading rusher, gaining 44 yards on 10 carries while Jalen Saunders led the team in receiving, catching nine passes for 63 yards.
NOTES: This was the 18th straight game Texas A&M has scored first, dating back to 2011. …This is the eighth Cotton Bowl to host a Heisman winner. Only the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl have more. … Oklahoma's Landry Jones set a Cotton Bowl record in a half for both completions (23) and attempts (30). … A&M is 5-8 all-time in Cotton Bowl appearances, snapping a six game losing streak. A&M is also second all-time in Cotton Bowl appearances behind Texas' 22. …This was the first time since 1940-41 that A&M has won back-to-back bowl games. The last time they did it was in the Sugar Bowl (14-13 over Tulane) and in the Cotton Bowl over Fordham….Sumlin became the first A&M coach to win 11 or more games in his first season at the helm. The previous best was eight wins by D.X. Bible in 1917 and Orange's R.C. Slocum in 1987. It was the first time A&M has won 11 games in a season since 1998.

Do search engines trust your website?
Five years ago, Yahoo engineers wrote about TrustRank, an algorithm used to fight spam in the search results. TrustRank works in such way that it semi-automatically separates trustworthy and good quality pages from spam.
Spam-pages get higher-than-deserved rankings in a search engine's results and today any professional SEO optimizers, Google or any other search engine uses Trust Rank or similar techniques against spam. Read more »

Troy Koput has found many obstacles in the path to open tries Deville's Lounge in Port Washington — from building code violations to a long police call history at the former Foxys Bar location to an outright recommendation from the police chief that a liquor license be denied.
City Administrator Mark Grams has also suggested that officials are looking for a different type of business to fill the spot.
"How many (bars) does a city of our size have to have?" Grams said, adding he would prefer a restaurant-type bar where the primary focus would be on food to open in the now vacant space.
To attempt to answer such a question, here's a look at how many liquor licenses exist in Port Washington and surrounding areas compared to the population of each municipality. These totals include all licenses, such as those for a retail establishments or bar-restaurant.
- Port Washington: There are 35 licenses approved for the city, with a population of 11,201 — that makes 1 license for every 320 people.
- Grafton: There are 30 licenses approved for the city, with a population of 11,392 — that makes 1 license for every 380 people.
- Saukville: There are 24 licenses approved for the city, with a population of 4,424 — that makes 1 license for every 184 people.
- Cedarburg: There are 46 licenses approved for the city, with a population of 11,417 — that makes 1 license for every 248 people.
Population data from the U.S. Census Bureau from 2010. Alcohol license data taken from a Green Bay Press-Gazette database on statewide license holders.
Numbers aside, many of those in support of Deville's Lounge have argued that Foxys Bar fit a niche for the younger crowd — and with that bar gone, there is now a gaping hole that needs to be filled.
"Between Saukville and Port were are 'we' the late 20 and 30 year old and up group suppose to laugh and talk and 'Dance' and 'UNWIND' with (our) friends on a Friday and Saturday night when there is NO night club around," user sadparent commented on an article about the city opposing the bar. "Are we to go to the 'Railroad Station' were fights usually occur ... or are we to head to Milwaukee to give them (our) business?"
A public session will be held to discuss whether to grant Deville's Lounge the needed alcohol license at the Port Washington Common Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
Does Port need another bar?
Tell us why or why not in the comments.

Thanks, Kara. Too bad you decided to sit out this particular event…
They had another Masturbate-a-thon in San Francisco last week. You know you're living a life of extravagance when you're paying extra money to do something that you could have done at home for free. And I don't know how San Francisco Weekly (NSFW) was ever given permission to take pictures here, but apparently they were. I don't understand how you could sign up for that kind of thing while people take pictures of you. I get embarrassed just wearing shorts in public.
We jumped the thumbnails…and you can probably see why.
I want more like this!

Mono's version numbering policy follows the Gnome and the Linux Kernel versioning policies. Mono does not follow or mimic .NET versioning in any way.
See also: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2005-March/026427.html
Table of contents
Mono's Version Policy Explained
For an X.Y.Z tuple:
- X is the major version mumber
- Y is the minor version number
- Z is a revision number
The major version number is used to indicate which ABI/API version Mono uses. When it changes, there is no gaurantee that existing code will continue to work (though the utmost effort will be made to maintain compatibility). The major version changes infrequently.
The Minor version number consists of two sets: even numbers (stable releases) and odd numbers (development releases). The only improvements that stable releases receive are bug fixes; all new feature work is done in development releases. Features may be backported from a development release to a stable release, if appropriate. Stable releases are API and ABI stable, and can be expected to have minimal changes.
Development releases may break ABI/API compatibility, especially if the stable release they lead up to will change the Major version number. In particular, development releases are likely to add new API, and the use of new API can change between development releases. When a development release is converted into a stable release, we will maintain the API/ABI, and the new stable release should be fully compatible with the previous stable series having the same major number.
Revision numbers signify the release of a Major/Minor pair. Within a stable series, ABI/API compatibility should not be broken when the revision changes.
Mono 1.0.6 is the 7th stable release of the 1.0 series (version 1.0.0 ... 1.0.6 is 7 releases).
Mono 1.1.6 is the 7th development release of the 1.1 development series. When finished, it will result in the Mono 1.2 stable series. Mono 1.1.x is the current development tree. Mono 1.2 will be backward compatible with Mono 1.0 (old apps should continue to run), but will not be forward compatible with 1.0 (apps using 1.2-specific functionality won't work under 1.0).
After Mono 1.2 is released, a Mono 1.3 development branch will be started. The 1.3.x series will lead up to the future Mono 2.0 release.
.NET Versioning
Microsoft .NET's version policy is similar to Mono's, in that a major version number change indicates an API/ABI break. That's where the simularities stop. .NET does not have a stable/development split; .NET 1.0 and 1.1 were both stable releases.
Furthermore, there is no mapping between Mono's version numbers and .NET's version numbers. Mono 1.0 implemented parts of the .NET 1.0/1.1 API; in particular, it lacked System.Windows.Forms support. Mono 1.1 (the current development branch) also implements parts of the .NET 1.0/1.1 API; in particular, it will support System.Windows.Forms. Mono 1.1 also implements parts of the .NET 2.0 API. Other parts of the .NET API are not implemented at all, such as System.EnterpriseServices.
Framework Versioning
For compatibility reasons, Mono's System.Environment.Version property returns the version of the .NET profile that Mono targets, not the version of Mono that is being used. This should be the same version number that .NET would return. As such, it will return 2.0.X.Y when running under the 2.0 profile, even though it's running under Mono 1.1. :-)
Application Versioning
`mono --version` and `mcs --version` return the version of the Mono distribution.
Assembly References
If I use mcs to compile a simple program and then use mono to run it, which version of the assemblies will it use (e.g. which System.Windows.Forms.dll) ?
It will use the version that is sym-linked in preflix/lib/mono/1.0/System.Windows.Forms.dll, which will be the 1.0 version of System.Windows.Forms.dll.
If you used gmcs instead, you'd get the 2.0 version of System.Windows.Forms.dll, since gmcs targets the 2.0 profile.
SVN Installation
If I use svn update to get the latest code and then run make and make install in the mono directory how does it decide which version it is making and where to place the assembly?
Mono will always place a copy into the $prefix/lib/mono/gac/ASSEMBLY/1.0.5000... directory. So you'll overwrite the previous version of System.dll et. al.
If you configured your mono checkout with --with-preview=yes, make install will also place a copy into $prefix/lib/mono/gac/ASSEMBLY/2.0.3600..., overwriting whatever file was previously there.
In other words, you can only ever have two versions of any Mono assemblies, both of which will be overwritten by Mono during make install. Which means that Mono isn't parallel-installable with itself (you have to choose a different prefix if you want a different version of Mono).
(Note that the 1.0 library and the 2.0 library will differ; during `make` these libraries are built once for each profile, setting various #defines for each profile. The versioned assemblies are placed into mcs/class/lib/PROFILE, and it's the PROFILE/ASSEMBLY file which is placed into $prefix/lib/mono/gac/ASSEMBLY/VERSION...)
Why is this the case? Because Mono doesn't choose the version number for those assemblies, Microsoft does, and for compatibility we need to choose the same version numbers so that when Mono compiles a program .NET will be able to load the correct assemblies when running under .NET. Compatibility trumps all.

What is so special about Vietnamese coffee?
Although Vietnam is now the largest robusta coffee-growing nation in the world, its product has had a reputation for being less-than-premium. That reputation is changing rapidly, as the growers and government are making major efforts to improve quality and purity. While much of the crop is still destined for bulk instant coffee production, there are small farmers that are growing excellent robusta and arabica beans, and take great pride in their production. We only deal with these small farmers and their top-quality product. The Vietnamese also have a unique roasting process. While most modern roasting happens at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, Vietnamese roasting is done at lower temperature, in fact, traditionally over an open fire. The longer roasting time at lower temperatures allows the flavor to develop throughout the bean, while avoiding the bitterness caused by charring the exterior of the bean. The result is a full, rich flavor without the bitterness, or charred taste, of modern dark roast coffee.
Weasel Coffee - fact or myth?
Somehow, it was discovered that certain weasels (or civets, or 'luwak', depending on the country), dine nightly on the best, ripest coffee cherries. At some point in time, some brave person decided to try and make coffee from the partially-digested beans that had passed through the weasel. The result was the amazing transformed coffee that we know as "Kopi Luwak, or "Weasel", with its distinctive rich aroma and smooth, mocha flavor and texture.
The streets of every major Southeast-Asian city are crammed with small coffee-houses and shops that cater to locals and tourists alike. In Hanoi, for example, you cannot walk down a street in Hoan Kiem without having to scoot around a stack of plastic jars labeled "Weasel 1, Weasel 2", and so on, the numbers designating the quality of the coffee contained therein. Observation tells us that there are not enough Weasels in Asia to produce the amount of coffee that is labeled Weasel, just in Hanoi alone! Often quoted is the number 700 Kg, or about 1,500 pounds of Weasel coffee produced every year. That would make the retail price of authentic pure Weasel coffee around $300 per pound!
So, the reality is that authentic Weasel coffee does in fact exist. It is safe and thoroughly clean, probably cleaner than regular coffee, and it does taste wonderful if you like smooth, mellow, rather sweet coffee that is more like mocha than "cafe Americano". And, as a tourist attraction and something to do on your "bucket list", it has its place. But are you going to drink $300/lb. coffee on a regular basis?
We picked the Weasel to represent Weasel brand Premium Vietnamese coffees, because he (or she?) represents the best coffee that Vietnam has to offer. Our coffees are blends of the finest, small-plantation, small batch, roasted coffee cherries, selected by the farmers and the Weasels. Our two top coffees do contain a small amount of authentic, Weasel coffee. It's
what gives them their earthy, smoky, mocha-like flavor and texture. For everyday drinking, it's Daily Delight, which is a perfectly-balanced blend of Robusta and Arabica, strong on flavor, higher in caffeine, but with less indigestion afterwards! Occasionally, we also carry small amounts of 100% authentic weasel coffee that we are able to buy directly from the farmers. Sourcing at the plantation ensures authenticity.
air trade, or better?
Fair trade certification implies that small farmers and hired labor receive a fair price for their produce, and that cooperatives are run democratically for the benefit of all producers. Certification adds about $1.00 per pound to the wholesale price of coffee, paid to the certification agencies.

I'd rather give that money to the farmer and his hired hands. If we are trying to avoid exploitation, then what better way than to deal directly with the farmer? Fair trade, or farmer's market... Which way is better for the farmer?
About us
On my first visit to Vietnam, I discovered a surprisingly sophisticated coffee culture, where coffee is really a ceremony. I found this intriguing and felt it would be interesting for North America as well. I formed a partnership with a young Hanoian entrepreneur, and we imported our first batch of Weasel brand coffee. The flavor and quality of our initial three varieties has been well-received by the American public. We hope that you will try and enjoy our unique coffees!
Daily Delight
is a flavorful and aromatic blend of Robusta and Arabica beans, yielding a silky-smooth brew with a full flavor and pleasant aroma. This is the coffee for those of you who really like the authentic flavor of coffee.
Mr. Phong's Private Reserve
adds the complexity of chồn
cà phê
to the blend. This adds a strong, pleasant mocha aroma and flavor to the coffee, perfect for those that like a smooth, less acidic, and slightly sweet taste.
is roasted to a medium dark color, with just a hint of chocolate added at the end. When this blend is in the roaster, everyone in old Hanoi knows about it. And the flavor? Well, it's a dessert coffee, perfect with that sliver of cheesecake or that fine cigar.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Bob and Margaret Wathen Bauer celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last week at the Holiday Inn in Norman with family and friends.
The couple married Dec. 29, 1962, at the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Owensboro, Ky.
They met in St. Louis after Margaret had attended Fontbonne College. Subsequently, she completed her Bachelor of Art in elementary education at Brescia College in Owensboro, her hometown. After their wedding, they resided in St. Louis, then in Madison, Wis., where she taught at St. James parochial school. Bob, meanwhile, finished graduate school at UW.
In August 1966, they moved to Norman. Bob joined the English department at the University of Oklahoma as an assistant professor, and Margaret was appointed as a sixth-grade teacher at St. Joseph's school the last year it was open. She later taught at Lincoln, Madison and Whittier schools. They also opened Designer Party Foods, a catering service, and during the year since then, she has become active in St. Joseph's parish as a twice-elected chairperson for the Golden Agers, a member of the Women's Club, St. Monica's Guild, coordinator of funeral dinners and manager of Friday night bingo.
After 12 years of teaching at OU, Bob became a Realtor and is employed with Don Cies Real Estate. He has had several positions with the Norman Board of Realtors and has served as instructor of the broker's license course. He has served on parish council for two terms at St. Joseph's, served as coordinator of the lectors and Mass readers, treasurer in the Knights of Columbus and a weekly member of Cursillo group reunion since 1985.
Their older son Curt, a recent OU graduate in liberal studies, is employed at the Hartzog firm in Oklahoma City. Their younger son, Chris, earned his Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology and is employed at UCSF medical school in Fresno, Calif., where he lives with his wife, Cyndi, and daughter, Alyssa.

Custodial Supervisor Certification Course
Product Details
The Custodial profession today not only commands respect, but also requires a high degree of knowledge and skill. There are several reasons for the new "image", but probably the most important is the fact that the Custodian has become vastly more important to the efficiency of an organization and a healthy environment. Modern buildings made of modern materials require modern equipment, chemicals and techniques in order to keep them sanitary, safe and in proper operating condition. The vast variety of floor surfaces alone, requires extensive knowledge if we are to adequately protect a company's investment.
One of the important by-products in the evolution of the Custodial profession is CMI's Custodial Supervisor Training and Certification Course. It is truly a milestone in our profession. The course is divided into three sections, each of which covers a particular area of supervising and managing custodial maintenance work. Each section also has a certification exam and the final exam at the conclusion of the course covers all information that has been presented. The exams include multiple choice, true and false, and essay-type questions.
Ideal For Continuing Training Programs
In-house facility cleaning operations and contract cleaning operations will find the Custodial Maintenance Supervision course ideal to use in a training program. In addition to working directly with individuals, CMI can also set up special arrangements with those who are responsible for custodial training. Call Brant Insero at 518.640.9161 or e-mail email@example.com, to discuss setting up a formal custodial supervision training program using CMI's Custodial Supervisor Training and Certification Course.
Your Employer May Want To Help Pay For Your Tuition
Many employers across the nation offer some form of tuition reimbursement to employees. Most employers are delighted to learn that an employee wants to pursue a home study course in a job related subject. The prime objective of the Custodial Supervisor Training and Certification course is to help those responsible for Cleaning Maintenance improve efficiency, increase economy and upgrade work performance of the entire Maintenance Department.
Course Format
The Custodial Supervisor Training and Certification course is divided into three sections. Each of the sections has its own open book examination covering only that section, but the final examination at the conclusion of the course encompasses all of the information presented in all three sections.
Section I: What Is A Supervisor?
- Qualifications of a Supervisor
- How to Develop Your Supervisory Potential
- Objections of Supervision
- Functions of Management
- How to Qualify for a Supervisory Position
- The Supervisor on the Job
Would You Hire Yourself as a Supervisor?
Section I Examination
Section II: Basic Tools & Techniques
- Equipment and Supplies
- Stock Rooms and Storage Facilities
- Floors and Floor Maintenance

- Washroom Sanitation
- Windows, Walls, Ceilings and Lighting Fixtures
- Building Exterior and Grounds
- Preventive Maintenance
- Recycling
Blood borne Pathogens and Right to Know
Section II Examination
Section III: Application of Supervisory Principles
- Staffing the Maintenance Department
- Personnel Relations
- Training
- Time Study
- Preparing a Cleaning Schedule
- Purchasing
- Records, Record Keeping and Suggested Forms
- Safety and Security
Onward and Upward
Section III and Final Examinations
On line examinations available upon request
Passing Requirements
Students must receive an 80% or better on each examination as well as the final exam in order for certification to be awarded. Section exams are returned to you so that you can review them to prepare for the final. The final exam is not returned, but is kept in your file at the Institute. Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement from CMI.
Tuition is Tax-Deductible
Some individuals who enroll in the Home Study Course pay their own tuition because they want to upgrade their professional knowledge, improve their on-the-job performance, and advance themselves. Whether you or your employer pays the tuition, it is tax deductible.

Is it just me, or is February a really weird word? For one thing, why do we pronounce it "Feb-you-ary" when it is spelled "Fe-brew-ary?" A silent "r?" Are there other words like that? I can't think of any.
And what does February mean? Most month names come from Roman gods like January and March; or emperors like July and August; or their places in the Pre-Gregorian calendar like September-December. Who or what was February?
To paraphrase the definition I found in the Online Etymology Dictionary, the noun February comes from the Latin "februarius mensis" which means "month of purification." Its origin is unknown, but may be from a Sabine word. It was the last month of the ancient Roman calendar, which was used before 450 B.C.
Despite the month's shorter length, lots of action gets packed into it:
Ground Hog Day (2/2)
Fat Tuesday (2/12)
Valentines Day (2/14)
President's Day (2/18)
That's a lot of opportunity for celebration food! But, let's focus on President's Day.
Until 1971 Washington's Birthday, for whom the federal holiday was named, was celebrated on his actual birthday, February 22nd. Many states, including my home state of Illinois, also celebrated Lincoln's birthday, February 9th. Today, some states use President's Day as "Presidents Day" without the apostrophe to honor multiple presidents. It seems fitting that on the national level we honor George Washington on President's Day. Not only was he first to take the helm of our experiment in democracy, he consistently ranks as #1 on lists of most popular, favorite, or greatest presidents.
Many polls of top historians and professors have been taken to determine our most and least favorite occupants of the oval office. More recent polls by CSPAN, The Wall Street Journal, Siena College, Newsweek, and others yield surprisingly similar results, especially with regard to presidents before 1980.
Here's my composite of their top 10 list, starting with the most favorite:
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Thomas Jefferson
Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Truman
Woodrow Wilson
John F. Kennedy
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Andrew Jackson
Reading the results of these surveys made me wonder what the top 10 liked to eat. So I looked in to it. Some of the food turns out to be pretty simple and easy. Right up my alley!
For example, do you think of cherries when you think of George Washington? Many people do. In fact, the story we learned as children about how he cut down a cherry tree is probably not true. And, he was more inclined to be dealing with a walnut tree since he loved walnuts and is known to have often had them on his person. He is also said to have had a habit of cracking them open with his teeth. Maybe that's how he ended up with wooden ones! Or not. He didn't have wooden teeth either. He did have dentures, but they were probably made from a combination of human and animal teeth, not wood. Either way, they don't sound very comfortable. Which may be why he had another favorite food.
But I'll talk about that next time.
Check back in soon to find out about George Washington's, and other Top 10 President's favorite foods.

The Bears were handed their most lopsided loss of the season Sunday at Soldier Field against the Patriots, who were coming off a short week following their big win over the Jets on Monday night. It was an embarrassment for a team that considers itself to be among the league's elite, but, as Smith was quick to point out, the Bears are still in first place in the NFC North.
The Packers lost to the Lions, so Chicago still has a one-game lead in the division with three tough games to play, including the season finale in Green Bay.
Smith won't ignore what happened on Sunday, but he'll try to balance using it as a teaching tool while also making sure his players are looking ahead to the Vikings and not backward.
"No, we don't throw it out," Smith said. "We're going to come in tomorrow, we're going to watch the video and then we're going to put it behind us as soon as we possibly can and then move on.
"You learn from every situation you're in. We'll learn a lot from this situation."
The Bears are not in the Patriots' class, but he's not going to get fired after the season for that. A collapse from this point forward, however, will put him on far less firm footing.

Excel Golf to buy majority of The Concession
Date: August 5, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The Concession Golf Club may soon have a new majority owner.
Excel Golf, a family partnership operated by Sarasota resident Bruce Cassidy Sr., today announced a tenative agreement to buy a majority interest in the club.
Cassidy will be leading the group, which will focus on the continued development of the club and growing its membership while brining financial stability to the golf side of the golf and residential development.
Excel Golf intends to buy additional interest in The Concession Golf Club but not in the residential portion of The Concession, which will continue to be operated by The Concession Land Development, LLC and owned by Core Development.
Cassidy and Excel Golf will not have any control or investment in The Concession Land Development, against part of which Wachovia filed a foreclosure notice recently. However, Cassidy said he expects the success of The Concession Golf Club will have a positive influence on the residential real estate development. The golf club has not been involved in any foreclosure actions.
"I am extremely pleased to announce our group's intentions to acquire a majority ownership interest in The Concession Golf Club, as it is one of the finest new courses in America and deserves the attention to quality and detail that we pledge will drive our management here," Cassidy said. "I have a vested interest in the success of The Concession, not just in golf but also in the real estate development, as I own residential properties here and fully intend on making the golf side of The Concession a big success."
Cassidy is building a home within The Concession. He expects it will be completed in December.
Cassidy's and Excel Golf's involvement with The Concession dates to 2008. He formed the entity to hold the interests of Excel Family Partners LP following an investment he made that enabled construction of The Concession's 33,000-square-foot golf clubhouse to begin. The clubhouse is expected to open this fall.
According to the terms of the sale, Kevin Daves, who owns Core Development, will retain a minority ownership interest in the golf business. Daves is the original developer of the residential community and golf club.
"Bruce and I share the same goal of making The Concession one of the best golf clubs in the country," Daves said. "I am very excited that Bruce is bringing his financial resources and business experience to ensure the long-range stability of the club."
Cassidy and Daves expect the transaction will close in about 60 days.

When a chlorophyll molecule in the leaf of a plant absorbs a photon of sunlight, the solar energy is converted into an excited state of the molecule known as an exciton. The exciton then transports the energy between molecules in the leaf, and ultimately mediates the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy.
Thus, excitons are packets of energy confined within a material. They are the crucial intermediate for energy transduction in all kinds of low-cost electronic materials. Excitons also dominate the behavior of disordered synthetic nano-materials like polymers and inorganic quantum dots. Consequently, excitons control solar energy conversion in low-cost solar cells, and also light emission in organic and quantum-dot based LEDs.
The mission of the Center for Excitonics is to develop the science and technology of excitons, to reveal the fundamental characteristics of these crucial quasi-particles, and enable new solar cells and lighting technologies.
Our efforts are divided into four working groups, and two seed initiatives. Each of the four working groups are comprised of three to five faculty devoted to key scientific problems confronting the development of more efficient solar cells and solid state lighting. The seed initiatives are smaller-scale projects devoted to developing science and technology that we expect to grow in significance. More…

Sprint shareholders approve SoftBank merger
Sprint's merger with Japanese carrier SoftBank has been approved by Sprint's shareholders. At a special shareholder's meeting held today, the deal was overwhelmingly approved, with 98% of shareholders voting in favor to the merger. In a statement, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse noted that the deal would give Sprint more financial breathing room.
"Today is a historic day for our company, and I want to thank our shareholders for approving this transformative merger agreement," said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. "The transaction with SoftBank should enhance Sprint's long-term value and competitive position by creating a company with greater financial flexibility."
This flexibility may help Sprint become more of a competitor to rivals Verizon and AT&T, primarily by building out their LTE network, which still lags behind the top two carriers in the United States, despite continued activations across the country. Now that the deal has been approved by the shareholders, it must be examined by the Federal Communications Commission, a process which Sprint and Softbank expect to be completed soon, with the merger formally taking place early next month.

Great news for sprint customers.
All I can say, anything, even not merging, was better than being with Dish..
The CEO of that company and it's support model is horrific, inflexible, and would have been a terrible combination.
Now if we can just keep Dish from T-Mobile USA.. :(
Their CEO has a rep for being a bit nuts too.
Amen!! Couldn't have articulated it better myself.
as a sprint customer, I was rooting for this to go through. Sprint has been making great strides lately in the right direction, but they still need all the help they can get. I have hope that this merger will really help propel the company forward.
Sprint's glory days of the Treo 700p are long gone. Hope they can change things around accordingly. In the last 5 years they have made some horrendous business decisions.
as a sprint customer i'm happy. hoping the future makes my unlimited data worth it. i'm not out of contract anyways for a while and don't yet have lte.
Lets just hope a new company doesn't decide to come in and change a bunch of things to make them "more competitive" in the industry. I'll be semi nervous about this deal until we start to hear what will be changed and what won't be. After they're completed with the network roll out they should be close to being on par with AT&T and Verizon. Will they still have to offer some of the same perks such as unlimited data? Especially with a new ownership group looking to make a return on their investment.
Will the data service be usable any time soon?

no LTE yet hope this helps and keep my unlimited in tack

It's no secret that "Virginia is for Lovers." The popular slogan has been used as a tourism tool for the Commonwealth for many years. And now the Virginia Tourism Corporation is hoping to steer out-of-town vacationers to rural Bland County as part of their new "Love Hits the Road" campaign.
Bland County was one of only a handful of communities statewide that were selected to participate in the new tourism campaign.
The program capitalizes on the popular slogan: "Virginia is for Lovers," and is designed to encourage Virginia vacationers to have their photographs taken at some or all of the "Love" sign sites across the Commonwealth. There are currently 26 locations — including Bland County — selected for the campaign.
Bland County officials will place their "Love" sign outside of the Wolf Creek Museum gift shop. The creation of the sign represented a total community effort, according to Sherri Dillow, general manager of the Wolf Creek Indian Village and Museum.
"One of our local businesses, ABB, created the two white feathers for the top of the sign and we had a competition in the schools to come up with a design for the sign," Dillow said last week. "A Bland High School student, Kara Deaton, created the design. I think we really wowed the Virginia Tourism Corporation."
Deaton, 16, a sophomore at Bland High School, said her mother inspired her to take up drawing, and says she has been drawing since she was about 6 years old.
The new "Love" sign will be unveiled during a ceremony scheduled for April 6.
"We are very thankful that the corporation included us in the program," Dillow added. "This will draw even more attention to our museum, the Indian village and our county."
The Wolf Creek Indian Village and Museum will open for the season with a 5-K run on March 23.
The selection of Bland County for the new tourism initiative is welcomed. Having the museum chosen as the site of the "Love" campaign should help to increase awareness and visitors to this unique local tourism attraction in our own backyard.
We applaud Bland County officials on their selection for the "Love" campaign, and look forward to the official kick-off of the local campaign this April. It is our hope that the new tourism initiative will help to steer out-of-town visitors to Bland County this summer.
There is much to see and do in our region, including the Wolf Creek Indian Village and Museum, and other nearby attractions in both Southwest Virginia and southern West Virginia.

City auditors have found lax overtime oversight in the water department, and almost $38,000 in overdue stormwater fees the state Department of Transportation owes the city.
There was no evidence of overtime fraud or abuse, according to the auditors' report, and City Manager Tom Bonfield has asked the city attorney and Deputy City Manager Bo Ferguson to investigate whether Durham has authority to make NCDOT pay up.
The city's audit department prepared the overtime ( bit.ly/YnxQ4a) and stormwater ( bit.ly/ZAxVQX) reports, which the City Council will discuss Thursday.
Overall, auditors found Stormwater Services "effective" in its billing and collecting processes, but in checking delinquent accounts they found DOT to be in arrears $37,993. Moreover, the account had not been billed since August 2011 at, according to stormwater staff, direction from the city manager's office.
"The account has received no payment, has not been billed to the customer, incurs no interest or late fees, and has not been sent to the collections company for proper collections action since it was placed on hold," the report states.
The auditors suggested City Hall look into the matter.
"Nobody even talked to me about it," Bonfield said last week. He said he had assumed North Carolina custom was like that he knew from his earlier city-manager positions in Florida, where local governments routinely billed the state and school systems for stormwater fees that were routinely never paid.
The auditors reported that stormwater services was collecting 98 percent of the fees owed it. However, they found more than $1 million in fees more than 90 days overdue and advised the division to start cutting off water-sewer service to encourage payment. The "cutoff option," it seemed, had not been standard operating procedure.
Stormwater management agreed with the recommendations.
In the water department, the auditors found inadequate documentation for why some employees received large amounts of overtime pay – including one Utility System Supervisor paid $43,248 for overtime in 2012, 75 percent as much as the supervisor's base salary.
Of the city's 25 employees paid the most in overtime, 12 were in the water department. The auditors suggested the water department improve its procedures for documenting why overtime is necessary, what work is done, and approval ahead of time.

Great look, high quality. They wash well. My man looks great in them; but he does NOT like them; because they are so heavy... too warm.
