College to Demonstrate National Model for "Blended Learning" at Small Private Schools
BOSTON (January 25, 2008) — Simmons College recently became the first private college in the nation to be awarded a grant from the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to demonstrate that small colleges can offer high quality courses that combine classroom and online learning, while still maintaining close student/faculty relationships.
The Sloan Foundation awarded Simmons $225,000 to support two innovative "blended learning" initiatives that combine classroom and online student/teacher interactions in the Simmons School of Health Sciences, and the Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
The goal of the Sloan program is to make high quality education available "anytime, anywhere, for those motivated to seek it." Course participants can access their courses at all times, from any location, through the Internet. The online and face-to-face course components are designed as an integrated learning experience: each mode of learning is an extension of the other. The Sloan Foundation selected Simmons College for the award to demonstrate the viability of blended learning at small private institutions, to help dispel misconceptions about the level of faculty/student attentiveness the format can support.
"Private institutions have lagged behind public institutions in embracing blended and online learning," says Simmons College President Susan C. Scrimshaw. "Some fear that blended learning will compromise the 'high touch' faculty and student rapport for which our schools are known.
"Simmons is not dissuaded by this rationale. We intend to lead the way as a model for small private schools, to show the best of both worlds—a college that can maintain a strong sense of community and also meet students where they are, in the workplace and homes distant from campus."
In one Simmons initiative, the grant will support blended learning in the Doctoral Program in Nursing Practice in the Simmons School of Health Sciences. Academic administrators believe that blended classroom and online courses will help decrease the shortage of nursing faculty, by making course offerings available to a wider geographic location, and with schedules that can better accommodate working professionals seeking a doctoral degree.
The grant also will support blended learning in the Master of Science program of the Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science in western Massachusetts, housed at Mount Holyoke College. Known as GSLIS West, the program mirrors the program offered on the Boston campus and aims to meet the needs of students in western Massachusetts who are juggling work and family responsibilities while earning a master's degree in library science.
Simmons College, founded more than a century ago, is a private university in Boston with 5,000 students, composed of a women's undergraduate college and five coeducational graduate schools in library and information science, health studies, management, social work, and arts and sciences.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in New York City is a philanthropic nonprofit institution established in 1934 by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., then-president and CEO of General Motors Corp., that makes grants in science, technology, and the quality of American life.

24-year-old photographer Asher Svidensky recently traveled to west Mongolia with the intention of documenting the lives of traditional Kazakh eagle hunters, people who tame eagles for the purpose of hunting smaller animals.
With the traditions typically laying in the hands of the boys and the men, the biggest surprise throughout the journey was Svidensky's discovery of a young eagle huntress, 13-year-old Ashol Pan, the daughter of an experienced eagle hunter. These stunning photographs symbolize the potential future of the eagle hunting tradition as it expands beyond a male-only practice.

The Best Running Books Ever!*
*Or, more modestly, A Runner's Fall Semester Reading Curriculum
In my school days, one of the highlights of starting a new academic year was receiving the required reading list for the semester. A good list usually featured a combination of classics that lend themselves well to multiple readings, well-known titles that I'd always heard of but never dove into, and some less-established selections that turned out to be pleasant surprises.
In my running years, fall has always been an ideal time to stoke my running mojo. Refreshingly cool temperatures, leaves on the trail, and a crowded race calendar make it easy to find motivation to get out the door and log some high mileage before drifting into a winter hibernation.
So in the spirit of both those ideas, I've compiled a recommended reading list for runners to tackle over the next few months; some you've probably already read, others you've heard of, and some others you might not have. Obviously, the selection process is biased, and although the books listed here happen to be my personal favorites, they may or may not appeal to you; that's what Amazon.com reviews are for, which I've linked for each one. Pick one that looks interesting - or if you're really ambitious (not to mention really bored), dive into the whole list.
Since the inspiration for this post was a Monterey Herald article I published here in July, I figured I'd make this an audience participation exercise, and include links to all of the reader recommendations that I received following that post. If for some reason I've still missed something, feel free to let me know in the comments below.
And since someone's bound to ask: no, Once a Runner isn't on this list. Here's my brief take on Parker's book: it's a fair novel which happens to focus exclusively on running – and because it was released in a time when running-themed books were a rare commodity, it somehow developed this fantastical cult following that I've never fully understood. I've written about this before, so I won't belabor the point any further here.
That seems like enough of an intro … so let's get to it, shall we?
Top 5 Running Books of All Time (in my humble opinion, and in no particular order):
The Perfect Mile by Neal Bascomb: I don't think it's hyperbole to say that breaking the 4-minute mile was the greatest athletic accomplishment of all time. I mean, more than a few people – respected scientists among them – believed that such an extreme effort would cause an athlete's heart to burst, resulting in sudden death. In the aftermath, Bannister's milestone run was the ultimate representation of breaking through the wall, forever changing the way distance runners – and athletes of any persuasion, for that matter – pursue accomplishments that others think impossible.
The fact that the race to 4 minutes also became a three-way intercontinental drama involving two of the most popular athletes in the world, as well as one who never truly got his due, just adds to the compelling nature of this tale – and Neal Bascomb's account of this golden age of running is the most comprehensive I've ever read. It also manages to be a good page-turner, even though you pretty much already know the outcome of Bannister's quest.
The Four-Minute Mile by Roger Bannister: Hey, have I mentioned before that I'm a big Roger Bannister fan? My father gave me a copy of this book when I was a kid, and back then I thought Bannister's properness and humility were way too old-school. Thankfully, I re-read the book about 10 years ago – and this time, I found everything about Bannister to be nothing short of admirable. To think that he broke a world record (a death-defying one, at that) while enrolled in medical school, and that he walked away from a competitive running career to focus on his more noble professional calling is simply unfathomable nowadays. For my money, you'll never find a better role model than Bannister, and his memoir is one of the most impressive reads I've ever enjoyed.
Running with the Buffaloes by Chris Lear: Lear caught lightning in a bottle during the season he embedded himself with the University of Colorado cross country teams, featuring superstar runner Adam Goucher and soon-to-be-superstar coach Mark Wetmore. My lasting impression from this book is the work ethic that is required to succeed in intercollegiate XC. Here's one example: Lear describes a typical exchange between Wetmore and any students who express an interest in trying out for the XC team. Wetmore's response was basically, "Run 100 miles per week, every week for a year, and then come talk to me." Even more astonishingly, one kid actually did it.
Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes: Sure, Karnazes is a polarizing guy now, but that doesn't diminish the fact that his personal story is quite inspirational, and this book helped launch the fringe sport of ultrarunning into the national conscious. Karnazes encouraged legions of new ultrarunners (including me) to give the sport a try, and he's probably more responsible for the modern day perks (plenty of ultras all over the country, with new ones every year) and drawbacks (lotteries, early registration periods, and hints of "celebrity" culture) of modern day ultrarunning than any single person.
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall: A modern day classic. Launched the current barefoot renaissance. And I've already written a full review of this one, so we'll stop there.
So there you have my top 5: are you inspired yet? If not, perhaps a secondary category would help? …
Best Non-Running Books that Runners Will Enjoy (at least, I did, and I'm a runner … so maybe you will too):
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer: One of the most gripping tales of adventure, danger, hubris, and athletic extremism you'll ever read. This book ushered in a whole new genre of non-fiction: the high-mountain drama, which has since been imitated by countless authors, very few of whom combine their climbing chops and gift for storytelling quite like Krakauer. The original remains one of the best and most memorable in the category.
Lance Armstrong's War by Daniel Coyle: Sure, Lance's autobiography got all the attention, but this account was more memorable to me for two primary reasons …
1) Without reading this book, it's almost impossible to fully appreciate the single-minded focus and determination that Armstrong (along with his coach, Johan Buuyneel) devoted to the Tour de France every year, and how ferociously he devoured every perceived obstacle in his way – even, in some cases, those from within his own team. Also …
2) There's a classic description of how the cyclists and coaches can all tell who's in shape and who isn't by looking at each other's backsides. More specifically, there's this explanation:
"The ass check is an unobtrusive art. It is practiced from a distance, and requires not only a keen eye but also experience. An ass, properly examined, is one of the best available calibrations of potential … 'First you have to know the guy. Then you have to know the ass.' Bruyneel says. 'After you know it, it tells as much as powermeter numbers.'"
For some reason that passage stuck with me – but maybe I shouldn't say that out loud.
The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz: No physical discomfort you ever encounter in life will seem significant after reading this book, but there's another reason I mention it here: Gretchen gave it to me as a thank-you after I paced her at Tahoe. In other words, the story of a Siberian prison camp escapee who endured the most horrific pain and mental anguish imaginable on an endlessly laborious journey through extreme depths of despair naturally brought to mind the long night she spent with me. I'm not exactly sure if that's a compliment.
And we're into the homestretch with our final category …
Reader Recommendations from July (and whatever random comments I can come up with, since I haven't read most of these):
A Step Beyond by Don Allison: I've never read it, and don't know anything about it, except that apparently Amazon doesn't carry it – but according to the lone reviewer, Ultrarunning magazine does.
Run Like a Mother by Dimitry McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea and The Barefoot Running Book by Jason Robillard: Two things are notable about these:
1) They're both self-published, which means they don't have as much street cred as anything from established publishing houses – but some independent authors are just as qualified to see their work in print as a lot of authors out there, and even have a good shot of being financially successful. I honestly believe that. Firmly, fervently, passionately believe it. And yes … that's also a bit of foreshadowing.
2) I received a copy of Robillard's book in the mail this week, and I'll have a review posted here in the near future. Stay tuned.
Lore of Running by Tim Noakes: I looked at this in a bookstore once; it seemed awfully thick. Based solely on probability, there must be some good stuff tucked away in there.
Daniels' Running Formula by Jack Daniels: I actually have a fantastic story to share about an interaction between coach Jack Daniels and my friend Mike, but I can't tell it, because all of the funny parts are rife with F-bombs. Here's a hint: they didn't come from Mike.
The Complete Book of Running by James Fixx: My dad had this book as well; I think he purchased it during the two weeks he tried to become a runner. It pretty much sat on the shelf and gathered dust after that, but it's still kind of a nice memory.
Fixing Your Feet by John Vonhoff: Never heard of it, although my first impression is that it runs contrary to the barefoot philosophy that there's nothing wrong with our feet just the way they are, thank you very much.
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami: This is the book that's most intriguing to me, only because no fewer than three people mentioned to me that they thought I'd love it, as Murakami's writing style is similar to mine (although since he's the one with the mainstream publishing contract, I guess that means my writing is similar to his). From the Amazon review, it's apparently about diary entries, reminiscences, life advice, pop culture references, all revolving around a lifelong habit of running. So … yeah. I think I should probably read that one someday.
As for you, you're all set to get reading anything on these lists during the new school year – and best of all, there's no test at the end of the semester. Feel free to share your thoughts on these or any other books in the comments below, and maybe we can start our own little discussion group.

The address that was listed on our Kayak reservation was in the wrong city. It was pretty unbelievable. It took over an hour to find the property. It was a horrible experience trying to find the property.

No reception on property. Key pickup at remote location with no information and no unit location map available with key pickup or on the property. We arrived at night. It was pitch black and it took one hour to find the two units we had booked. The condo name that we were looking for was inside a building on a wall. There was NOTHING on the exterior to indicate the location of the units. It was a complete rip off for $181.00!. The unit was old and tiny. The one amenity,which I guess was coffee, was only a decafe.

Older hotel but the rooms where clean. Friendly staff. I has a brewery on site great beer.

Okay 6.0
There is no current signage. The Hotel name does not appear at all. The old name 'Clarion' is what is shown.

Okay 5.0
The hotel was quiet
There was NO airconditioning in the room, and the temperature in Sun Valley while I was there was in the low 90's. I had the fan blowing on me in front of the open window and the nights were cooler, but I was still HOT in the room.The room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. So two strikes, the heat and the smell.
Poor 1.0
It is located in a beautiful town: Ketchum, ID
The accomodation was NOT as advertised! Your ad stated that all rentals at this place had in-room fireplaces, jetted tubs, flat screen TV's and kitchenettes. The room we were given waa from the 1950's, without ANY of the amenities noted.We were not advised in advance that the keys were in a lockbox so we waited an hour before the night clerk answered her phone and told us how to get in the place. We did NOT stay. We found much, much nicer accomodations in town. And ended up paying XXX less for our two-night stay.

"We're moving on up, to the East Side, to a deee-luxe apartment in the sky ... ." This spinoff from "All in the Family" is about literal upward mobility - African- American couple George and Louise Jefferson move into a swanky high-rise building. George is an obstreperous, often rude guy who thinks his wealth should get him anywhere he wants to go. His wife is more levelheaded and often cuts him down to size when his schemes go awry.

The former concentration camp of Sachsenhausen on the fringes of the small town of Oranienburg, 35km north of Berlin, has been preserved as the unremittingly miserable Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen (Sachsenhausen Memorial) as a reminder of the crimes of two of the last century's most powerful and terrible regimes. This early Nazi camp was a prototype upon which others were based. It was never designed for large-scale mass extermination, but all the same around half of the 220,000 prisoners who passed through its gates never left, and at the end of the war the camp was used to systematically kill thousands of Soviet POWs and Jewish prisoners on death marches. After the war the Soviets used the infrastructure for similar purposes.

The camp
The camp
At the entrance to the camp, its largest structure, the impossibly detailed New Museum, charts the camp's origins from defunct brewery to a Nazi political prison; the local Nazis filled it with many of their classmates, colleagues and neighbours.
The camp proper begins under the main watchtower and beyond a gate adorned with the ominous sign Arbeit macht frei ("Work frees") and within the perimeter walls and former high-voltage fence – site of frequent inmate suicides. Within the camp many parts have been chillingly well preserved or reconstructed: a number of prison blocks which now house a museum telling the stories of selected inmates; the camp prison, from which internees seldom returned; the former kitchen and laundry where harrowing films show the camp on liberation. Just outside the perimeter lie pits where summary executions took place and bodies were incinerated.
Finally, at the northern tip of the camp, an exhibition in a guard tower investigates what the local populace knew and thought of the place, via video interviews, while the jumbled hall next door examines the postwar Soviet Special Camp (1945–50), when the Russians imprisoned 60,000 people with suspected Nazi links – though most were innocent – of whom at least 12,000 died.

Really, really, lazy.
In my defence writing a blog post requires at least twenty minutes of solid concentration. When you factor in time for proof reading, time distracted by other things (right now 10003 Google tabs are open on my computer, none of them on the same topic), a food break, a toilet break, a quick lie down, a mental refreshment break, making iced coffee and waiting for it to chill, and then time spent re-reading what's already written (but processing none of it), then the time to write one blog is at least 5.5 days. I haven't had 5.5 spare days. I'm sorry. Medium sorry. Now I'm on Christmas break for 3 weeks so there are no excuses.

CHATTANOOGA, TN (Times Free Press) -- It has never happened. A wall of flood water so high that it topped dams on the upper Tennessee River and swamped emergency equipment at two nuclear plants just upriver of Chattanooga.But government officials say recent history -- including Nashville's devastating 2010 flood and Fukushima's 2011 tsunami, as well as changing technology and past calculation errors -- make it clear TVA must plan for the worst.Mike Eiffe, TVA program manager for hydrology and hydraulics, said preparing for a "probable maximum flood" means raising the levels of the dams and the earthen berms that flank them."The drainage area for Chattanooga is a little over 20,000 square miles, and for the type of flood events that we're talking about, we would be looking at an average of 15 to 16 inches of rainfall over that entire 20,000-square-mile drainage area," he said.Read more from our news partners at the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jennifer Lawrence's family says "whirlwind" doesn't begin to describe the last few months.
"It was a lot of fun. It was surreal," says Gary Lawrence, Jennifer's dad.
"We're living vicariously through her so it's been pretty exciting for us as well," says Blaine Lawrence, Jennifer's brother.
"Her Oscar schedule was basically in minutes and milliminutes," says Karen Lawrence, Jennifer's mom.
In fact, her mom admits hindsight might have changed the fateful trip that started it all, when she gave in to Lawrence's pleas at age 14 to take her to New York to explore acting.
"I really thought let's just get this over with and go to spring break and you'll hear 'don't let the door hit you on the way out so many times'. I would have never taken her if I thought something actually would have happened so the joke was on me," says Karen Lawrence.
The doors weren't closing, only opening. Now Lawrence is everywhere.
"It's weird to see her posters and magazines at Target and Kroger," says Blaine Lawrence.
But she's still just Jen to them
She's not a megastar, she's just Jennifer.
"Her nickname was 'Nitro' growing up. She was just pretty wild – explosive, "says Blaine Lawrence.
They say watching TV is one of her favorite things to do when she gets to come home to her parents' house in east Louisville.
Oddly enough, with no professional acting training, her parents say it might have helped her hone her craft.
"When she was a little girl she was glued to the TV and I thought she was just enjoying herself, but I think she was doing research and studying and thinking I can do that," says Gary Lawrence.
"But she didn't watch TV like a normal person. She was glued to the TV. She would get on her knees and study it," says Karen Lawrence.
It seems to have paid off. She's snagged tons of awards for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, including the Oscar. There's also speculation she snagged a boyfriend as well in co-star Bradley Cooper.
"She is not dating Bradley Cooper, nor was she ever. They're just really good friends. No truth to it," her family says.
There are also rumors Prince Harry is interested, but Lawrence's mom jokes that would never work out.
"I don't think she could get along with her mother in law. That would bring the kingdom down," says Karen Lawrence.
Her role in Silver Linings Playbook was certainly no joking matter.
Her mom was right by her side for all the ups, and was on the front row when Jennifer Lawrence fell on the stairs.
"I was just glad she didn't knock her front teeth out. I saw her head go down and I just thought 'oh boy, if she gets blood all over that gown'. She just fell and recovered and didn't really talk about it," says Karen Lawrence.
She handled it with grace, something that comes naturally for her. But the glitz and glamour do not.
"Her favorite thing to do is work, and come home and eat a bowl of popcorn and put her pj's on and do nothing else. So it's not so glamorous to do all these other things. It's work and it's exhausting for her," says Gary Lawrence.
Lawrence's days are packed filled with things like interviews, promotional shoots, even a trip to New York to host Saturday Night Live. On days with awards ceremonies, things really get crazy and start with her stylist.
"It started with wardrobe. Rachel Zoe and her whole team coming in. Chopard coming in with their jewelry. And three to four people, hair and make-up people and jewelry people, manicurist, etc." her family says.
"I call it the pit crew. They just take over the house so I just stay out of the way," says Gary Lawrence.
A photo her mom snapped at the Golden Globes shows underneath it all, she's staying true to herself. Taken under the table right after her Best Actress win, you can see her hand dripping in borrowed diamonds, digging into a bag of chips.
"It's hard because we don't feel any different and Jen doesn't either. Just because she's won an award, doesn't change who she is but people's perception of you is different and they expect you to be different. That's been the hardest part. She is a 22-year-old human being and she will make the same mistakes we all make and grow. She's just going to make those mistakes under a microscope," her family says.
Thursday night on WDRB News at 10:00, her parents open up about what has been so difficult about her fame, and we'll talk more about the perks of it all too, what her co-stars are like and which one of them has promised to come to the summer camp the family owns, Camp Hi-Ho.

Looking for a Long Turn to Wye fitting for my DWV piping. Does anyone know if such a fitting exists already for Revit or how I may construct one?
Have you looked at Charlotte pipe fittings for this as they have a good selection of pipe fittings?
I have looked at Charlotte and Nibco families and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I'm still having trouble finding this and when I look at the OTB revit fitting families, like I want to start with one of those to create the LTTY fitting, there are a million parameters in the family, it's insane. I can find a double LTT fitting but not a single! What is up with that?! And why can't I just make one side of the fitting disappear like I can on the other fittings? This is driving me crazy.
Is this any use if you change the materials?
It would definitely be better than what I have now. It would be a start. I didn't see a Revit file on that page though, do they have it?
The Nibco 5812-LR is really what I need.

ManuCloud EU project yields OLED panels integrated with organic solar cells
The manufacturing of individually designed organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells and their combination can be realized in the near future.
After three years the project ManuCloud (distributed Cloud product specification and supply chain manufacturing execution infrastructure), which was funded by the European Union, now successfully completed its work. As result the project partners Heliatek, Fraunhofer COMEDD, Tridonic Dresden and GSS Gebäude-Solarsysteme GmbH presented a demonstrator of a façade module, which combines the OLED- and OPV-technology. The objective of the ManuCloud project was the development of a service-oriented IT environment as basis for the next level of manufacturing networks by enabling production-related inter-enterprise integration down to shop floor level. Industrial relevance was guaranteed by involving industrial partners from the organic photovoltaic, organic lighting and automotive supply industries.

b) Mollywomp-(V.) 1. A throwback term for a beat down. not to a bloody pulp, but just a quick and painful beatdown. 2.When a grown man beats another grown man as if he were a girl under the age of 10. Getting mollywomped is not a regular beatdown, but a beating where the victim is so physically or mentally incapable of fighting back they go down like a little bitch. 3. The act of completely destroying an opponent to the point of embarrassment. 4. To knock out with little to no effort. 5. Term for a woman hitting a man over the head with a purse, typically repeatedly.
IE: Holy shit did you see that ol' granny Mollywomping on that dudes sorry ass?
Damn he got mollywomped!
Better call the wifey so she don't mollywomp me when I get home.

I develop marketing initiatives for clients. Never do I allow a digital component to be released unless we have covered both PC AND MAC needs. This is not hard work, folks!
I see all of these wonderful features being released but most are not compatible with a Mac. For instance:
- I can access Call Assistant but I have to keep checking for new messages, et all. The PC user can download a program that will alert them to new messages. What's up - do you not think Mac users would like the same ease of use?
- Media Manager - I realize a lot of folks are having challenges with this program, I am sure those issues will get sorted. However, as a Mac user, I can only stream music or photos. What I really want to do - stream video - is not part of the Mac program. Why not???
- And the biggest issue by far - no WiFi access for Mac. I just don't get it.
I also don't get that I have to continue paying the same rates as PC users but can't even get access to the services. At the VERY least, until your features are Mac compatible offer your Mac customers a discount until you get the services in line. That would accomplish a couple of things. First, your Mac customers would at least know you appreciate us. Second, the cost of this discount could be incentive to your developers to serve both Mac and PC customers equally. I would bet if there was a shared cost/risk arrangement between you and your developers we Mac users would be better served.
(I type this from a shiney MacBook Pro)
I think the idea is to only ship new features when we cover both Mac OS X and Windows.
I agree supporting Mac OS X is important, but let's put this in perspective. 93% of the world's computers run Windows. Even if we remove businesses from the figures, then Mac OS devices are still in the minority... so it is not likely we will hold back Windows support for the majority of customers to wait for Mac support.
It is completely common place for software developers to hit Windows first and then follow up with Mac OS X support. Netflix instant streaming existed for quite some time on Windows only.
Most importantly if this wasn't true I would be playing Sid's CIV5 instead of responding here... but alas it is only available on Windows and won't hit Macs for 4-5 more months (sigghhh!!!)
Specifically related to Media Manager - video is not part of the Mac OS X version because we have to completely re-engineer the software for Mac OS X... very expensive and time consuming... but we are making the investment.
I have the same issue except I run Linux. I don't use the Call Assistant or the Media Manager, but the wireless works just fine (Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.4). Maybe you should be giving the Mac guys a call about that.
Changed categories to Internet and Home Phone.
no wifi access for macs? can you elaborate on that? wifi specs are to industry standards, and independant of OS I thought?
The OP was talking about

Having just purchased an iPhone 4, I found the FiOS DVR app to be spectacular, so I know Verizon can develop great apps.
But, there is a real hole in the system not being able to use Verizon WiFi hot spots! An app to find and allow use of this valuable feature that I am paying for would be great!
Is there any projection for this service which is currently unavailable going to be available? In the interim, it would seem that from a truth in marketing standpoint you shouldn't offer a service you can't provide to all your users. I don't see any billing reduction offered for services you don't provide.
But let's put this in perspective. 93% of the world's computers run Windows.
Please tell me. Where did you get that info from.
In the meantime, as I wait for a reply - I give more up to date info and I state my source:
From http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-226.htm which was Security Now! with Steve Gibson, Episode 226 for December 10, 2009: Listener Feedback #81.
So summing up the various Windows - XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2000 - Windows, any Windows, is at 91.26 percent, with Mac at 5, and then Linux at 1.
Here's even more up-to-date data:
"Preliminary estimates by Gartner and IDC put U.S. Mac market share for third quarter 2010 at 9.3 percent and 10.6 percent respectively."
Wow! Mac is all the way up to 10% market share! Whether Mac's share is 7%, 10%, or even 15%, you are still a vast minority of users. You want the rest of us to wait for features just because they are not available for your chosen OS? If you really want the features buy a copy of windows and dual boot.

Stevie Nicks fans know that the singer will soon be making an appearance on American Horror Story: Coven , but now word has emerged that the Fleetwood Mac f rontwoman actually will be showing up on not one but two episodes of the hit FX series.
The show's creator, Ryan Murphy , disclosed the news in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly .
"Stevie will be in episode 10 and then we have Stevie for another one, doing an idea that she came up with that I thought was too perfect to say no to," reveals Murphy.
He explains that the idea to include Stevie in another episode emerged after she'd been poring through some of the show's upcoming scripts and came across a scenario that seemed very familiar to her.
"[She] called up and said, 'Are you aware that one of the things you're doing I actually wrote a song about?'" notes Ryan. "I'm like, 'You've got to be kidding.' Then I remembered the song. We have something cool that was her idea."
Stevie's first appearance on American Horror Story: Coven will air on January 8. As previously reported, a source who works on the show told E! Online that Stevie will play herself in the episode and will show up to meet her "biggest fan," the eccentric witch character Misty Day.

The Sounders unveiled new uniforms for the 2013 campaign on
Wednesday. The official team site offers this description of the primary and
secondary kits:
"The primary kit remains rave green and features a
subtle silhouette of the Space Needle positioned vertically on the right
chest. The secondary kit continues in
cascade shale with the addition of a two inch vertical stripe which connects
team colors through a mosaic design to emphasize the team's unique and diverse
fan base."
Rave green has been the primary color for the club's uniforms since the team's inception into the MLS in 2009. The 2012 team sported
the same rave green and cascade shale kits, but with different designs.
Here is a photo gallery of the new kits.

This is a collage of sketcher Gleanings.
I thought this would be fun for people to share but if any artist doesn't want their work in the collage (for whatever reason) drop me a line and I will remove it.
'Oriface' is probably over represented - well done O!
theres a sketcher dump thread in the lounge too. Can we consolidate .... one way or the other.... I need to know where to post my screengrabz

I agree that there really should be only one Location.
I'm happy to consolidate in either place.
My gut says Sketcher represents a 'community activity' and I have had a couple of people say something similar. I'm happy to be convinced either way.
People are most welcome to use this thread or perhaps appeal to a moderator for a ruling\movement of the threads. I like the idea that each capture should be multi artist. If you only capture your art put it in its own thread and people can find you faster and others easier too.
Lounge seems wrong to me - If people feel strongly that this should be there though I'll happily move.
btw. Chaos I like you sketch book its has nice whimsy and material.

Lawyers for the state of North Carolina say prison guards used "minimal force" in altercations with handcuffed inmates that left several with broken bones and one confined to a wheelchair.
The office of N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper filed multiple motions this week seeking dismissal of a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of eight inmates who say they were abused while in solitary confinement at Central Prison in Raleigh. The state's filings do not specifically dispute that physical injuries were suffered by inmates who were restrained, but contend that prison personnel acted appropriately.
The alleged beatings all occurred in Unit One, a cell block known as "The Hole" where inmates are kept in solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons. The inmates' abuse claims are supported by medical records documenting blunt-force injuries that occurred while they were segregated from other prisoners, including broken bones, concussions and an inmate left unable to walk after his hip was shattered.
"When correctional officers use force to keep order, they have little time for considered reflection and must quickly and decisively balance the need to maintain order and restore discipline through force against the risk of injury to inmates," one of the state's motions says. "Generally, these inmates have been found guilty of disciplinary infractions involving assaults on staff or other inmates. ... As a consequence, Unit One houses the most violent, dangerous and incorrigible inmates in DOC custody."
Inmates in Unit One are only let out of their 80-square-foot concrete cells for one hour a day, five days a week, to stretch their legs in an outdoor "recreation cage" if weather permits. They are also allotted three 10-minute showers a week. Whenever they leave their cells, the inmates are placed in "full restraints" - wrists handcuffed and connected to a chain around the waist, ankles shacked.
In their lawsuit, the inmates alleged they were beaten after being handcuffed, shackled and taken to isolated "blind spots" not covered by the prison's video surveillance system, including a group of isolated holding cells known as "The Desert."
In an affidavit filed as part of one of the state's motions, former prison warden Kenneth Lassiter confirmed for the first time that 11 new video cameras have been installed to cover the spots where the inmates say the beatings occurred and that new procedures have been enacted to ensure that any footage captured of violent incidents is not erased.
The N.C. Department of Public Safety had previously denied requests from the Associated Press to confirm that the new cameras had been installed in the "blind spots," saying to do so would potentially endanger the security of the prison.
Lassiter, one of 23 current or former prison employees named as defendants in the lawsuit, was promoted last month to supervise 12 prisons and given a 15 percent raise.
Though the inmates filed formal grievances for years alleging abuse in Unit One, there is no indication in the state's filings that any of the 23 officers or supervisors involved were ever investigated or disciplined. All but four are still on the job, according to a review of public records.
Former warden Gerald J. Branker retired in 2011 after the AP obtained a copy of a scathing internal review that found inmates with serious mental disorders were often kept in isolation for weeks, sometimes nude, in roach-infested cells smeared with human waste.
One of the violent incidents recounted in the lawsuit filed by N.C. Prisoner Legal Services occurred Dec. 3, 2012, and left inmate Jerome Peters in a wheelchair, according to the lawsuit.
Peters, 48, was handcuffed and escorted by two correctional officers from his cell to an outdoor recreation area when, the lawsuit alleged, one of the guards punched him in the face while the other grabbed a leg and pulled him the ground. The lawsuit said a third correctional officer then helped the other two kick, stomp and punch Peters.
When they were finished, the lawsuit says, the officers put shackles on Peters' ankles and ordered him to walk. He couldn't, the suit said, because his pelvic bone was broken.
A lieutenant later took Peters to see a nurse. Though the inmate insisted his leg was broken, the lawsuit said Peters was given only Tylenol and taken back to his cell.
Hours later, Peters was taken to an emergency room and diagnosed with a broken right hip, and fractured bones in his hand and face. He also had blurred vision and numerous cuts and bruises, according to the lawsuit. He underwent surgery, but was left unable to walk.
Prison records showed Peters, who is serving a 14-year sentence for burglary, was cited on the same day that the lawsuit says he was injured for infractions that include disobeying an order and assaulting staff.
In their response, the state's lawyers ask a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit because Peters will never be able to prove what happened and prison staff should be immune from being sued for injuries inflicted in the course of carrying out their official duties.
The motion says, "Defendants applied minimal force in a good faith effort to maintain or restore discipline and to resolve a security risk and safety threat, and not maliciously and sadistically to cause harm."

Hot in kitchens: Darker cabinets, pullout faucets
Homeowners are seeking more open-concept kitchens and fewer cherry cabinets. Computer areas and polished chrome are also rising in popularity.
According to a survey of AIA members, the trend in kitchen design that has grown most in popularity is opening the kitchen to the living area. The only other kitchen project that grew significantly in popularity was universal design, perhaps a nod to aging baby boomers who need more accommodation.
The project showing the greatest decline in popularity was the creation of a larger pantry space.
Post continues below
"During the lowest points of the housing downturn, kitchen design fell as a priority. However, this space is once again the real heartbeat of a home, with open design and integration with other living space," AIA chief economist Kermit Baker said in a news release. "The last few years have seen kitchens take on new functions with dedicated computer areas and recharging stations."
The National Kitchen and Bath Association also surveys its members about trends in kitchen design. These are five major trends identified in the latest annual survey:
- Less cherry wood. The percentage of designers specifying cherry in one of their projects has dropped from 80% two years ago to 69%. No single wood has emerged as the new look, though we were surprised to see that oak had grown in popularity, from 11% to 22%.
- Darker finishes. Customers who choose a wood look are continuing to move toward darker hues. For customers who want painted cabinets, white remains the most popular color. Distressed finishes are also making a comeback -- though I hope they look better than the antiquing job I did on my parents' cabinets around 1970.
- Glass backsplashes. Natural stone and ceramic tile remain more popular, but not as popular as they were.
- LED lighting. Customers are interested in energy efficiency. But while they are embracing LEDs, they are not calling for compact fluorescent bulbs.
- Pullout faucets. "Designers are increasingly eschewing the standard faucet with a detached side spray in favor of pull-out models that integrate the two functions into a single unit," the NKBA wrote in a news release. Separate pot-filling faucets are losing popularity.
Home trends that were seen in both kitchens and baths were more transitional styles, more solid-surface countertops and the return of polished chrome.
What's in your dream kitchen? Do these trends reflect what you'd choose?
Also, I guess we will buckle to "peer pressure" and get the stainless appliances. I think they look great in pictures, but they do require lots of wiping for the finger prints. Surely someone makes a material that looks like stainless steel but doesn't require constant wiping???
I don't like granite counters and I don't like dark cabinets! I want my kitchen to look light & airy not dark & depressingt!
I also don't want to make more work for myself by installing granite counters...tooo much you have to do to keep them nice. I'll take my old style counter tops any day!...just wipe & go!
Who cares what "style" is in and who decides what is "in"?????????? I don't have this "thing" in me that I have to be like everyone else or "show off" my possessions. Just like so many people make a big fuss about what vehicle you/they drive...who cares as long as it is dependable?

There were nine people on the Rockhurst team (seven 1st year students, one 2nd year and a cousin who decided to join the fun).
|We can do this!!
"This 'unbearable' event is a unique opportunity to show your bravery as you support local Special Olympics athletes by walking, running or crawling into the frigid winter waters. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Missouri's year-round program of sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities."
|Oh, yeah...it's all fun and games until you hit the water!!
Through donations from friends and family as well as fundraising done on campus through the sale of donuts and coffee and a trivia night, the Rockhurst team raised $1,017. Way to go team!
On the day of the plunge, the air temperature was 38 degrees, but the water was a chilling 34! In fact, many coves of the lake had been iced over (yikes!).
|Whose idea was this again?
(Notice that the volunteers all have thermal suits on!)
This year a record setting 1,038 people participated in the Polar Plunge and raised over $274,000 for local athletes. We want to extend thanks (and hot cocoa) to everyone on the Rockhurst team who helped make the event such a success!!

Detroit's lobbyists said," we can't get you any more taxpayer money because the public knows we are liars" "Tell them we need the money to build electric cars- and then we can BS them into coughing it up" said the lobbyists. The law said that the money was to ordering tramadol collect on delivery go to any American car company but it only went to a Japanese company and Detroit. (Tesla is now controlled by Detroit no matter what crap Elon foists off so don't say they are not part of it.) All of the independent electric car companies who weren't part of Detroit or the Gore VC's were blockaded from funding. The way they did it is against the law.
The DOE ATVM And Loan Gaurantee programs were conducted by criminals in order to commit crimes. Steve Rattner, who was at the head of those programs, has already been charged with crimes. Lachlan Seward, Matt Rogers and the rest of them need to go to jail.

Google Tesla's Siry on "DOE stifles innovation" to read what one of the highest level staff at one of the car companies said.
The GAO, a federal crime busting agency, just released public reports saying that the DOE Loan programs were corrupt. All of the people under Seward were "connected" or "made men" in the Detroit cadre. Seward changed the section 136 first-come-first serve rule (Which appears to be illegal) in order to provide advantages to his friends in Detroit who didnt bother to apply in time and to cut out the smaller players who were already ahead in the application proces
