Let´s say you´re in the middle of a conversation and someone tells you a phone number.
Is there any way to add it to your contacts without finishing the call? Or to store it somewhere and add to contacts later?
How is it done?
Or should I have always a pen and a piece of paper?

North Aurora officer honored for saving man from jumping onto I-88
By Denise Linke For The Beacon-News December 4, 2012 3:34PM
North Aurora Police Officer Mark Shillair was honored for saving the life of a man who was threatening to jump off an overpass onto Interstate 88.
Updated: January 6, 2013 9:54AM
NORTH AURORA — While thousands of people were enjoying the North Aurora Days festival last summer, Police Office Mark Shillair was saving a life.
Shillair, a 7-year veteran of the North Aurora force, was honored by the Village Board this week for saving a man who was threatening to jump off an overpass onto Interstate 88.
On Aug. 4, Shillair and a fellow officer responded to a domestic disturbance call at Randall Road and Ice Cream Drive, where a woman reported that her upset 32-year-old son had left her car and walked away on Randall.
Leaving the other officer with the woman, Shillair drove north along Randall until he spotted the man walking on the bridge over I-88.
When the man saw Shillair, he said, "You'd better get your camera out, because I'm going to jump off the bridge," Police Chief David Summer said at Monday evening's award presentation.
And then the man climbed on top of the bridge wall.
At that point Shillair parked his car to block the right lane, jumped out and ran to the man, who Summer said is much taller than Shillair and nearly twice his weight. Shillair pulled the man off the bridge and back onto the road, where he kept him subdued until backup arrived.
"It was a hard fall for him, but he wasn't hurt," Shillair said. "Aurora paramedics took him to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. I don't know how that turned out, but I did see him riding a bicycle around town a month ago, so I think he's all right."
Both Summer and Village President Dale Berman praised Shillair's courage and quick action, as they presented him with the village's lifesaving award.
"In order to prevent a person from causing harm to himself, he put his life in jeopardy. I'm extremely proud of Officer Shillair," Summer said.
Shillair, 33, said he only did what needed doing at the time.
"I think anyone in my situation, whether a police officer or not, would have done the same thing," he said. "It's not part of human nature to watch someone do something like that without trying to stop him."
Shillair's wife, Cindy, said she knew nothing about her husband's lifesaving effort until some of his fellow police officers ran into her and her two young sons at North Aurora Days that evening.
"First, Sgt. (Joseph) DeLeo came up to us and said, 'Did you hear what Mark did today?," Cindy Shillair recalled. "... Then other officers started toward us, and every guy said, 'Your husband's a hero.'"

As I've suggested in other threads...
...I'm interested in how ways of training Buddhists into leaders (or clergy...) are developing. This is another example of which I'm not at all familiar, but at first blush seems to represent a variation on the theme of Shambhala training: secularized and presented like corporate training or professional development. Anyone familiar with this and the people who made it and promote it?

Let us celebrate life!
Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) is one of the most wonderful social entities that we have been privileged to feel, touch, see, sense, and represent.
As members of the Mother Earth Movement we have felt part of this cooperative effort, where being a colleague bears duties of commitment as well as the deeper meanings of human and planetary friendship.
Even though I am one of the simplest and most ordinary individuals on this earth, I understand that we must be committed to preserving both natural and human diversity. This means respecting the right to life of each and every being on the planet.
Accepting the necessity of joining and merging with this living unity is a simple conclusion, yet it holds an incredible truth that will render us free and sovereign. This unity with nature has to be based on dignity and respect for humanity's right of self-determination.
The operations of modern capitalism, built on the destructive and unsustainable processes which have taken place historically, are threatening life on Earth as we have come to know it. Spiritual, material, and cultural unity will help us to defend the world from these dangers.
Friends of the Earth is based on an historic universal vision. It also takes into account indigenous peoples' experiential wisdom as well as the situations of peasants and workers, while keeping in mind the importance of scientific and technological innovations. Most of all, it emphasizes discoveries based on an ethics of liberation, and responsible scientific practices that don't favour war and the violation of human rights.
Formulating new ideas leads to enhanced organizational strength and creativity, which is invaluable in facing up to capitalism and standing against the predator mentality associated with it.
The mission of confronting capitalism requires us to work closely with the victims and communities that have seen their food sovereignty and basic rights violated by war, mining, deforestation, biotechnology and GM crops, nanotechnology, and agrofuels (metaphorically termed "ogrefuels" by peasant women).
We have learned that is essential to respect sexual diversity and gender equality. At the same time, we must demonstrate against authoritarian, hierarchical, and sexist practices that are entrenched through racist, discriminatory, and exclusive policies. These policies represent an economy and way of life built on social and climatic injustice.
Friends of the Earth International upholds a school of thought which supports the lives and dignity of all beings on Earth. It cultivates a mixture of experiences that have created the "Schools for Sustainability," where people's wisdom and everyday fights are shared in order to further educational and transformational processes.
On "Mother Earth" we have called the school "ECOVIDACOMPA". Its philosophy is to expand our understanding of ecological, political, and social responsibility. The final aim is the defence of all beings on Earth that grow, interact, and transform this planet. We must be a friend to all beings.
ECOVIDACOMPA is a school where authoritarian and sexist behaviors don't exist; a community where everyone learns from each other.
Friends of the Earth International's greatest challenge lies in managing the work, organization, and mobilization necessary for the transformation of local, regional, national, and international realities.
"Transformation" indicates a qualitative shift whereby the individual becomes a collective, personal, and social unit all in one. Transformation doesn't occur from the outside, but as a result of the link between our inner conscience and our external existence, reflected in both nature and society.
We won't be able to contribute to this transformation without also transforming ourselves in the process. Only in this way can we generate the social and historic changes that will lead to a new human society based on the principles of love and solidarity.
We celebrate four wonderful decades of Friends of the Earth. Let us celebrate life!
Let us celebrate people's historical struggle against suffering, with joy for the heroic fight to safeguard life and to construct an egalitarian world without gender and social discrimination. Let us fight for the dream in which the form of capitalism which makes life on Earth unsustainable is transformed.

Stranded and Hallucinating in a Hawaiian Snowstorm
By Albert Samaha
TALIQAN, AFGHANISTANAfghans are different from you and me. We live in a world in which more people are alive than have ever lived and died. Theirs is the diametric opposite. Afghanistan is defined by things that used to be: people, ideas, Buddha statues, cities. Journalistic hyperbole has no place here; even the most abused adjectives fall short in a country where Soviet tank treads serve as speed bumps. The poor are poorer than words can describe, the anarchy of 11-year-old soldiers more prevalent than anyone would care to admit, the destruction so complete that, as upon viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time, the brain can't process the quantity or perfect genius of the horror.
Like Three Kings come to life, this third Afghan war is characterized by surreal boredom, for locals and foreigners alike, with a dash of genuine death tossed in just to keep things interesting.
Nowhere is this truer than in the provincial capital of Taliqan. Dozens of Western journalists, a few from the country that started this whole thing, scurry about this town, captured by the Northern Alliance just days ago, wallowing in inanity as they place bets on their own chances of coming home alive.
"So," my new neighbor, who rode a Northern Alliance tank into the city for The Washington Post, asks me seconds after my arrival, "What are you doing for power?"
Laptops and satellite phones and shortwave radios have us paying taxi drivers $20 a shot to drain their car batteries, running foul-smelling generators over the four-day road trip over the Tajik border, and endlessly clicking the annual rechargers from REI. Lost in the lust for direct current is the oft-told yet incomprehensible statistic of the average salary$1.40 per monthand even paying the $20 to recharge the phone isn't pushing that buck-forty very far.
"Who's your translator?" is the second question any Euro will ask you, because a bad translator can cost you both your story and your life. A good one, on the other hand, doesn't have to speak English. He fixes things with the foreign ministry so that you can go to the front, scores you a cheap rental carideally with a cigarette lighter so you can recharge your sat phoneand finds you food during the Ramadan new day witching hours. At night, the bombs come.
The siege of Kunduz, which is important because the place sits at the intersection of two of the five paved highways in the country, rages 20 miles to the west. Mostly the bombs, big 5000-pounders according to Saloqhan, a jovial Northern Alliance commander who briefs me every morning, fall on the Taliban sector of Kunduz. One night a bridge vanishes; the next a residential neighborhood goes up with nary a mention on American television.
"We don't care if we get killed," an Uzbek fighter named Khalev reassures me as he poses with his shiny AK. "What is important is to bomb the foreigner Taliban so they will come out and we can kill them." And the collateral damage? "It should not be mentioned as it would cause Americans to doubt themselves."
Ever since the Taliban defenders of Kunduz reneged on their surrender offer with a ferociously lethal ambush of their would-be conquerors, the Alliance has adopted a nationalist stance: Afghan Taliban will be welcomed into the warm bosom of indefinite imprisonment, while Pakistanis, Chechens, and other foreign volunteers will be executed en masse.
Donald Rumsfeld's statement that the U.S. is happy to take no prisoners in Afghanistan is taken seriously by Afghans of all political persuasions. "As long as we are alive," I hear a Taliban commander inside Kunduz tell his Alliance counterpart over a military radio, "we will fight."
"You should surrender to prevent more killing," his Alliance counterpart reasons.
"Your killing or my killing?" the Taliban officer closes.
Sometimes the bombs hit the residential neighborhoods of this Northern Alliance-held city. It's intellectual calculus of the lowest sort, the per capita odds of you yourself getting hit by a bomb are tiny, akin to winning the lottery or getting that big promotion. And yet every night the bombs come again.
The important thing is to leave your windows open. It gets very cold at night, around 20 or 30 degrees, but there isn't any heat anyway. At first the ground shakes; then a rush of air punctures the window. A Swiss radio journalist is at the Red Crescent Hospital next door having shards of glass extracted from his body. "That's what happens when you don't leave the window open," his convoy mate, a writer for the British newspaper The Guardian, smirks. Twenty-four hours later the Brit is in the same hospital, unlikely to survive an encounter with Taliban POWs he was interviewing.
The journalists have reasons to be fatalistic: We're dropping like flies. Three killed, then four carjacked and killed by the Taliban near Jalalabad a week ago, then three more. None were killed in battle, Ernie Pyle-style. All were carjacked or mugged. The Alliance helps by turning us into targets; they force us into caravans of rented vehicles containing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, traveling across remote dustscapes, with no more control on human behavior than the estimated 5 million mines planted among the spindly trees alongside the road.

He wants to be back at Augusta National and winning the Masters "as soon as possible."
It has been an eventful week for the 14-year-old. Consider: He became the youngest player ever in the Masters, the youngest player to play on the weekend in a major, the only player to incur a slow-play penalty in the history of the Masters, and low amateur of the tournament.
He was the only amateur to make the expanded cut.
But Sunday evening, well after signing for a 3-over-par 75 that left him 12-over (300) for the week and visiting the Butler Cabin for post-round ceremonies on CBS, Guan went back to being a teenaged schoolboy.
And that includes homework.
"In China you didn't take classes, they give you the class," he said.
Guan was learning lessons of another kind this week.
Throughout the week he drew raves from everyone on the grounds for his playing ability and poise. Most of the players were astonished at how Guan could withstand the pressures of the first major of the season at an age when many of them were either still playing junior tournaments or engaging in some other kind of teenage endeavor.
He went through the week without a three-putt or a double bogey. He made six birdies – four in his opening round and two Sunday. He beat Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell, all top 20 world players who missed the cut.
"He seems to have a good game; short game is very good," 55-year-old playing partner Sandy Lyle said. "He was a little messy with a few early drives – maybe it was nerves, I don't know – but he ended up doing OK in the end."
At no time was his poise tested more than Friday when tournament officials put him on the clock on the back nine and finally assessed him a slow-play penalty that left him dangerously close to missing the cut. He never wavered in meeting with the media after the ruling – the first slow-play penalty assessed on Tour since 1995 – and said he accepted the decision, promising to learn from the experience.
The only time he showed the slightest sign of cracking came late in his post-round news conference Sunday when he appeared to choke up on the question about the best thing about his historic week.
"This is my first time to play in front of all the people here," he said. "All the patrons, they were really nice to me and I appreciate them coming here watching me. I mean, that's very nice."
Just as he's not sure when he'll be going back home, Guan isn't certain what the rest of his season entails. The Asia-Pacific Amateur title that got him here also landed him in a spot in final-stage qualifying for the British Open and a "couple invitations" to events he's not certain about.
Don't expect him to turn pro any time soon. Even though he's from a region of the world where players, especially on the women's side, turn pro in their teen years, Guan said he wasn't in any hurry.
"I've not decided yet, but it won't be too early because there are still a lot of things to learn to improve," he said. "Nothing to rush."

Pentagram (Chile) - Demos I & II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlglGztN6lU
Having reviewed the thread, baby Jesus is most definitely weeping at this point.
Agreed with hell - if you're into metal and from Brazil you're doing yourself a disservice by not exploring that country's underground. Sarcofago, Reecarnacion, Parabellum - lots of jewels in the rough.Cool to see Sacrilege mentioned. Just found out about them. I've really been listening to a lot of the crust/"stenchcore" that came out of the UK back in the late 80s/early 90s. It hits a unique point that's split three ways: early death metal, speed/thrash, and punk. A really characteristic sound. To the OP, seek out the rest of Sepultura's early shit if you haven't. Stop at "Chaos AD" - shit just gets really dumb after that one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by cotton Pleasantly Suprised I'm very suspiscious of this kind of this kind of perhaps "too good to be true" product but, having recently realized that chemicals were wrecking my thyroid gland, in a bit of desperation, I purchased these dryer balls. I got 4 balls since I had read somewhere that 4 worked much better than 2. And they do work! Towels are not quite as soft as when I used dryer sheets but definitely softened and more than acceptable. They make a bit a noise rattling around when the dryer first starts up but then settle in with the laundry and quiet down. I also purchased the static cloths to use with the balls and they also essentially get the job done. Between the good job that they do and not using any chemicals, these balls get 5 stars in my book. March 22, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Forsyth It's true I didn't believe they would work but they do. I've been using them for two weeks and my clothes come out of the drying or fluff cycle wrinkle free and no static. March 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by BlynJacquelyn Great Green Laundy Tool Keeps static cling off clothes, decreases drying time, helps fluff towels and down comforters. February 14, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by blerp Drying Clothes Better We used GAIAM original dryer balls since they first appeared in the catalog years ago. The new, PVC-free dryer balls are even better than the originals. I like the bright color, they don't roll, they make less noise in the dryer and they reduced our drying time by at least 30%. They work equally well on his jeans and my delicates. January 7, 2010

Are the dryer balls a hard plastic that will make noise like the PVC blue one's sold in stores?

Answer:They are hard so they are likely just as noisy as the blue PVC ones.

Answer:I am not sure if it is the differences in climate or the different brands of dryers that cause this variation in performance. I use the dryer balls at home and have never had an issue with static, however I have had some customers who need to use The Static Eliminator Sheets 06-0531 in addition to the dryer balls to eliminate the static completely.

Are the dryer balls 100% PVC FREE
Since these dryer balls are made in China is there an USA oversite that assures the dryer balls are PVC free?

Answer:These balls are made out of a completely different material that is not even close to the same compound of PVC. These balls are made out of TPE (Thermoplastic elastomer) and are PVC free.

Microsoft changed its plans about issuing a special European version of Windows 7 that would lack Internet Explorer, according to a company announcement.
The about-face was explained by Dave Heiner, Microsoft's vice president and deputy general counsel, in a Friday blog post. He cited two main reasons why Windows 7E (for Europe) wasn't the best approach.
First, computer manufacturers and Microsoft's partners had suggested that Windows 7E would just confuse consumers, Heiner claimed. Second, the European Commission (EC) wants Microsoft to give Windows users a choice of Web browsers, and not necessarily strip out IE from Windows, he contended.
Microsoft has already proposed a mechanism for allowing users to choose their browser. This so-called "ballot screen" proposal, currently being considered by the EC, would let users select from a list of the most popular browsers. Heiner noted that the Commission has "welcomed" Microsoft's proposal, which was announced late last month.
No decision has yet been announced by the EC, but Heiner described a few additional steps Microsoft is willing to take. One idea is that the ballot screen -- which looks like a Web page pushed to the user -- will only be sent to IE users in Europe. Because of that approach, the ballot screen won't cause people to switch to IE, Heiner suggested.
"[The ballot screen] is unlikely to lead to any users switching to IE, since the screen will not be presented to Windows users whose default is Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera or any other browser."
In addition, Microsoft plans to send the ballot screen to Windows XP and Windows Vista users in Europe too, according to Heiner. Microsoft essentially will "promote" competing browsers.
"As you might imagine, it was not easy for Microsoft to accept the idea that we would essentially promote directly competing software from within our flagship product, Windows," Heiner wrote.
If the EC rejects the ballot screen idea, Microsoft might revive the Windows 7E idea and ship the operating system without IE, Heiner suggested.
Microsoft currently faces possible legal action by the EC for distributing its IE product with Windows in Europe. Windows has near monopoly status among operating systems, and European Union competition laws forbid using a monopoly to market other products.
Windows 7 reached the release-to-manufacturing stage last month, and PC makers are currently installing the new operating system on hardware. TechNet and the Microsoft Developer Network subscribers will be able to download Windows 7 on Aug. 6. The general public can buy the OS on Oct. 22.

@Steve: I don't see this as an issue of hate; it's an issue of responsible competition in light of human nature in the typically-installed user base. I've been in tech for 25 years, and I can say that the following situation is usually true:
If IE is installed on 100% of the Windows machines available and the majority of people using those machines either 1) don't know they should care, or 2) don't know how to / are disinclined to add an alternative / or would, but they're already entrenched in IE because that's what they started using before they knew better ...
... it's stifling responsible competition because an overwhelming majority of these people don't see a need to create more work for themselves. That's it. Guns to people's heads play no part in this situation, which (to me) sounds like a lawyer's argument. It's recognition of human nature, which--in my opinion--is how it should be settled. Further, I can specifically argue that "free choice" isn't the factor--we have OpenOffice, we have Linux, we have a full gamut of free software available--but how many people stick with what they have because that's what someone handed them? At the risk of digressing, it's similar to people having no choice but to watch TV programs that blunt their lives because the viewing audience might be confused if they raise the bar, so why try?
@Rainer: Latest word is that MS is planning to ship the standard version. Reading into the "ballot"-based update a little bit (here: http://www.geek.com/articles/news/windows-7-e-scrapped-xp-and-vista-to-get-browser-ballot-screen-too-2009083/), once your country is determined, you will be asked (it appears, via IE 6) which browser you would like to use. In the end Microsoft doesn't have to change a thing; they can do this via Windows Update, and ship the original product.
By the way, anyone who pre-ordered the "E" version will find it replaced with the full product.
If the EC hates Microsoft Windows so much, let one their government employees make another Operating System just for the EC. Nobody is holding a gun to someone's head to make them buy and use Microsoft Products. I get the impression the EC hates Americans that can make a product and profit buy selling around the world.
I hope that Microsoft will deliver the original version of Win7 to european customers - that means: with integrated IE. EC's decision is absolutely crazy!!!

A free-ride program designed to get off-duty deputies home safe was announced Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff's Association of Bexar County President Joel Janssen.
The initiative, which has the support of Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau, will present deputies with vouchers for free cab rides that will be honored at any time by Yellow Cab of San Antonio.
The union will pick up the tab.
The move comes after three deputies have been arrested for suspicion of DUI since Jan. 1.
"When relaxation turns into intoxication, and then that deputy gets behind the wheel, it becomes unacceptable," said Pamerleau.
The Sheriff said strict standards for off-duty professionalism are already in place, responding to a question about whether deputies just needed to be more responsible.
"We want to make sure that when our people have one too many, they will have a safe way to get home," said Pamerleau.


text: Matty Ice and Tony Gonzalez have never won a playoff game before. This weekend will be no different either. Big Ben is hurt, but they could start Kobe Bryant at QB and still beat the Broncos this weekend. Everyone knows that even on their WORST day, the Steelers defense is going to give you a run for your money. I predict that Tebow gives them at least 2 pick 6. I am leaning towards the Bengals to beat the Texans, even though I like the Texans more. Dalton is 3-0 at Reliant Stadium all time. He will soon be 4-0, but it will be a close game.

Some Say, "Wi-Fi?" I Say, "Why Not?" What's Wrong With Human Hot Spots?
A huge, unpleasant controversy erupted recently when an international marketing agency, whose higher-ups seemed to have a few screws loose, hired a bunch of homeless people in Austin, Texas to walk around and serve as human, Wi-Fi transmitters. The zany idea, devised by BBH Labs, the innovation unit of the marketing agency BBH (Bartle Bogle Hegarty), was introduced at the South by Southwest arts and technology festival in Austin earlier this month.

Ah, fair enough.
You may have noticed Tonči Zonjić has done the cover for the upcoming Lobster Johnson one-shot, The Prayer of Neferu. Well, it won't be the only one:
I can't say how happy we are with Tonči's work here. And we are just as happy to have him continuing on covers for the next run of Lobster Johnson. More news on that...
We already know that before The Lobster returns for another big miniseries there will be a few shorter stories first, probably a trade's worth, and I'm guessing they'll all sport covers by Tonči Zonjić, much like the three stories in Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest and Other Stories all had covers by Dave Johnson. It's a nice way to make them feel like part of a set. Anyway, Scott Allie says we'll hear more on that. Let's hope the news isn't too far off.
Last edited by Middenway; 05-15-2012 at 06:31 PM.
too bad he's not drawing the series as regular artist. I wish the spin off character books had consistent art teams.
He's not doing the short stories, but he's back for the next big miniseries (Well, John Arcudi wants him back for the next one, and Tonči Zonjić said he's gonna be back for more on Twitter, but nothing official has been said). He's too busy with other stuff to take on Lobster Johnson full time. But I totally agree. It's much nicer to have the same artist on a series.
Regarding a 1946-1948 omnibus:
We are working on 1948 as we speak, actually, but we don't know at this time what the ultimate collection format will be, just that there will be a paperback after the miniseries concludes.
This letter was written in about Daimio and Daryl (spoilers for The Long Death follow):
Hi,So, in a word, awesome.
You wrote in the B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Exorcism #1 letter column that we have seen the last of Daimio. So whose soul inhabits the wendigo now? I don't think Ben gave up his life or his fight; he gave up on conquering the curse of the jaguar in his body. So he forced the very peaceful wendigo into a fight, knowing that it would kill him. And having died, Daimio's soul would replace the soul of Daryl, the previous victim of the wendigo, at the helm of the wendigo's body.
So now Daimio is, in a way, more powerful than ever before, and his curse died with his old body. He can't kill anything with a soul―or he's out―but then again, I don't know if a lot of the monsters he fights have real souls. If not, the B.P.R.D. now has someone who is unstoppable enough to take out an Ogdru Hem. And that might come in handy with hellboy and Liz having gone missing.
Your metaphysics are right on, Mattias. We shall see what develops...

Thought you guys might be interested in this...
With the shift to an ongoing series the series is now limited to a single issue per month, so how will [the side stories] fit in now without feeling like the main story is being put on hold?So... what do you think about that?
Scott Allie: Last week James and Mike and I teamed up for the first of a two parterone of those side stories. When Cameron is ready to come back for more Agent Strode, well figure out how it falls in linethe current plan is to do them in the regular numbering, interrupting Johns run. Dont expect supersized issues. It might be interesting to go biweekly. What do you think about that?

I don't know. I don't see why we can't have side stories and the monthly/core titles as happened last summer with, say, Devil's Engine and so-on with Pickens, Exorcism, etc.
They ran into problems with that. The numbering was confusing people.
#88. Hell on Earth: The Long Death #2
#89. Hell on Earth: The Pickens County Horror #1
#90. Hell on Earth: The Long Death #3
#91. Hell on Earth: The Pickens County Horror #2
Alternating on issue numbers is not something they want to repeat, especially now that the series numbering is on the front cover.
I also think (and this is only my opinion. I've nothing to back this up) they're trying to avoid treating certain stories being passed off as "side stories". I think they want them all to be considered core titles, especially since The Abyss of Time is a story that's going to have big ramifications in the overall story.
Plus it'd be only a fortnight between issues. I could get used to that...

Fortnight is such a cool word. I'm in!
Giving me more BPRD is like giving a kid more candy to get in the van... No wait! That's terrible! Forget I said that. Just give me more BPRD, forget the van. I'm in. No, not in the van. I'm in for more BPRD. I obviously need more BPRD.
There's B.P.R.D. in the van...

Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company Foundation Grants $155,000 for Scholarships
August 1, 2011
The Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company Foundation (SFNTCF) has entered its fourth year of support for Native higher education with the American Indian College Fund by awarding $155,000 for Native student scholarships.
Ten Native Teacher Preparation Scholarships will be awarded under the program for $4,000 each. To qualify, students must be American Indians attending a tribal college and studying to be a teacher or education paraprofessional.
Ten Skills Development Scholarships will also be awarded for $4,000 each. To qualify, students must be American Indian and enrolled in a building trade curriculum or vocational/career program, such as heavy equipment operation, welding, hazardous waste technician, highway construction, electrician, or plumbing coursework at a tribal college.
These programs will continue to provide scholarships to American Indian students enrolled full-time in an associate's degree program at one of the following tribal colleges and universities: Diné College, Navajo Technical College, Oglala Lakota College, Sinte Gleska University, and Sisseton Wahpeton College. Recipients must also demonstrate financial need and be a single parent and/or in their first year of an associate's degree program.
From the grant, the SFNTCF will also continue to support 15 Achieving the Dream Scholarships in 2011-12 for American Indian students who are single parents and/or in the first year of an associate's degree program for $4,000 each. Students must be American Indian and enrolled in Diné College, Navajo Technical College, Sisseton Wahpeton College, Sinte Gleska University, or Oglala Lakota College to qualify. SFNTCF has also pledged its continued support to continue the program for three years.
"We have expanded our support of the American Indian College Fund this year to help American Indian students pursue teacher-preparation and skills-development programs that will have a direct positive impact on the students' communities," said SFNTC Foundation Chairman Nicholas A. Bumbacco. "At the same time, we have also increased the level of financial support for students who receive Achieving the Dream Scholarships. We feel fortunate that we can work with an organization of the caliber of the AICF to help American Indian students improve themselves and the future of their families and communities."
"The generous and long-time support from the Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company Foundation has helped many people in the American Indian community obtain a higher education," said Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund. "This substantial gift and pledged support for the future will continue Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company's legacy as a supporter of Native education and a company that is working to create hope and a better life for American Indian people."

- Coverdell Fellows
- Department:
- Office of Teacher Education
- Degrees Awarded:
- Master of Arts (MA), Teaching Certificate
- Admissions Deadlines:
Teachers College final admissions deadline varies by department. Peace Corps Fellows Program deadline: November 1 for January start; January 15 for May start
- Admissions Cycle:
Notifications of Peace Corps Fellows awards sent out by December 1 for January start, and March 15 for May start
- Program Start:
- Mid-January or Mid-May
- Program Founded:
- April, 1985
Scholarships covering 20%-65% of tuition costs (varies by teaching subject area); starting teacher's salary of $48,836, depending on experience and prior academic credits; full health coverage under Teachers' Union contract; professional teaching credential (after three years, with fulfillment of requirements); scholarship and loan forgiveness opportunities after teaching begins. New York State certification currently has reciprocity in 43 states.
Fellows are placed in full-time, salaried positions in public schools throughout New York City and attend Teachers College classes part time in the evenings. Applicants choose programs of study leading to a Master of Arts in one of five education areas. The program involves a three-year teaching commitment. Many Fellows become tenured at their schools. Summer training for first-year Fellows, monthly cohort seminars, and team meetings are required components. These gatherings are as much for support of the group as they are a forum for presentation and discussion of topics of interest and importance. Participants often live on campus, and when possible, share classes and are together in schools, thus making interaction with other Fellows (including alumni and other RPCVs teaching in the public schools) an integral part of the program. The positive and negative aspects of the nation's largest city (as well as the largest school population of 1 million children) help to shape the nature of the program. The inherent demands and challenges are both grueling and exhilarating.
There are two program start options based on teaching content area:
Spring Semester, mid-January for Teaching of English (Grades 7-12), Intellectual Disabilities/Autism (Special Education, Grades 1-6 or 5-9) or Teaching of Social Studies (Grades 7-12); Spring Semester start includes a 5 month fieldwork observation component at a NYC school site (stipend/tuition points provided in exchange).
Summer Session A, mid-May of each year for all programs including Bilingual/Bicultural Education (Spanish, Grades 1-6 or 5-9) Teaching of English (Grades 7-12), Intellectual Disabilities/Autism (Special Education, Grades 1-6 or 5-9), Teaching of Math (Grades 7-12), Teaching of Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science or Physics; Grades 7-12), or Teaching of Social Studies (Grades 7-12).
Eligibility to be a PCF Fellow is dependent both upon acceptance to Teachers College and acceptance to the Program. Peace Corps Volunteer service (not necessarily in teaching); strong commitment to teaching in the demanding urban environment of New York City; completed Teachers College application; Peace Corps Description of Service. Telephone and/or personal interviews may be required at the discretion of the Peace Corps Fellows Program Office.

Compiling GHC from sources
by Mithrandir
I've decided that the best way to learn about the internals of GHC is to actually look at it's source code in parallel with some experiments. This is the first part of a series of articles related to some GHC experiments, maybe going towards a
ghcd command. But, until then, we have much work to do.
The first step is to have a build which will not affect the existing GHC executable. Thus, I've created a Vmware Virtual Machine, installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it and some more packages (
mdns-scan). The
gitk package is not really needed, I used it only to view the git repository status in a somewhat graphical way. However, the
openssh-server and the
mdns-scan were needed so that I could type
ssh haskell.local to create a SSH connection to the virtual machine (named haskell, of course). This way, I won't be bothered by the switching between the virtual machine interface and the real one.
After this, I did another optional step: I've set up my prompt to inform me if I'm working on the machine or on the real system (I prefer to use various prompts across different domains rather that look at the hostname). This was simple, I've set up the PS1 shell variable thus:
PS1="[\W] \[33[01;32m\]λ\[33[&zwj00m\] " in the
.bashrc file. This way, the prompt would be a green lambda and only the basename of the working directory will be shown.
Next, I've installed the packages that GHC needed. Although
zlib-dev was not found,
libcurl-dev was replaced by
libcurl4-openssl-dev and another alternative and
docbook-utils it the single
docbook* package that could be found (installed
dblatex as a replacement for the
docbook-utils-pdf package), I could carry on with the source compilation, as you will see in the following steps.
I've downloaded the source tree using
darcs and this command:
darcs get --lazy http://darc.haskell.org/ghc
After doing a
cd ghc/ and giving the required rights to the
darcs-all script, I've obtained the testing framework:
cd ghc/
chmod +x darcs-all
./darcs-all --testsuite get
cd -
Then, I started the autoreconf part of the instalation. While running, as instructed from the tutorial,
perl boot
I've thought that I'd like to have a way to see what's changed in the source tree. Since darcs is not something I'm proficient on, I've used git (warning: the git related steps are all optional):
git init
git add .
git commit -m"Initial"
After waiting a little, I've started the configuration step. Because I didn't want to destroy the existing GHC I've used a local prefix argument:
./configure --prefix=~/ghc/prefix
git add .
git commit -m"Post conf"
Then, I've modified the build configuration. Since the experiment included modifying GHC's sources, I decided to go for the quickest build possible. After creating a copy of
mk/build.mk.sample under
mk/build.mk, I've changed a line in that file, just like this page said (and the tutorial omitted to say). I won't post the changeset or any other more git commands, since this will take space here and I want to keep this post under 500 actual words.
After this, the last step was to run
make and wait. When it has finished, the build tree contained an
inplace dir which looked exactly like a copy of a GHC install (for example, the
ghc program was in
inplace/bin/ghc-stage2). This is why the above prefix setting was useless.
However, I've decided to also run some tests on the code (this is why I downloaded the testsuite in the first place):
cd testsuite/tests/ghc-regress
make fast
After several minutes of spitting things into the terminal, the testing is finished with the following output:
OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sat Oct 16 03:01:30 PDT 2010
2608 total tests, which gave rise to
9749 test cases, of which
0 caused framework failures
7443 were skipped
2220 expected passes
62 expected failures
0 unexpected passes
24 unexpected failures
Unexpected failures:
Not too bad for a start. Now, I only have to make sure that those are the only tests that are failing on my machine when doing the experiments.
That's all for today. Next post will be about how a simple source file is transformed into the GHC pipeline.

Cookies have gone soft, complains Uncle Howie. They've got no gumption, no backbone. They're weak, pudgy, tender in the tummy. "That's not a cookie!" he shouts. "That's a cake."
News to me. I like my cookies soft in the middle. They're friendly.
Uncle Howie points to his mother's recipe, handed down from her mother and titled My Mother's Cookies. It calls for the usual: flour, butter, sugar, eggs. And the slightly unusual: sour cream.
The painstaking print prods the baker to roll thin and bake hot for half an hour, until, as might be expected, "brown." Producing, Howie smiles, "a solid, beat-on-the-table cookie." With backbone.
"I don't want them hot out of the oven," he warns. "I want them cold and a day old. Stick them in your mouth and they crunch apart."
He hands me a scan of my great-grandmother's yellowed recipe and prods: "Try it."
I do. My first batch, hot from the oven, is thick and soft. I try again, rolling thin, baking hot, at length. I get a cookie with character. Bad character, I'd say.
I mess with the hand-me-down, producing a thin, crisp, cinnamon-brown cookie that won't tolerate table-banging. It may lack gumption. But it's deliciously tender, in the tummy.
Great-grandmother cookies
Prep: 30 minutes
Bake: 15 minutes
Makes: about 6 dozen
For cookies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups flour
For topping:
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Using a stand mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add yolk, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Beat fluffy again, about 1 minute. Add flour. On low speed, mix only until dough begins to clump, about 20 seconds.
Divide dough and pat into 2 disks. Settle one between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll dough 1/8-inch thin. Repeat with other disk. Slide dough (still in its paper, resting on a baking sheet) into freezer. Freeze firm, about 20 minutes.
Pull one sheet of dough out of the freezer. Peel off top sheet of parchment paper, pat it back into place. Flip dough and peel off the other sheet of parchment paper. Use a 2-inch round (or other shape) cookie cutter to punch out cookies. Pull away excess dough (the "negative space" between the cookies), leaving cookies on parchment, ready to bake. You can reroll and refreeze excess dough once. Repeat with remaining dough.
Stir together sugar and cinnamon to make topping. Sprinkle each cookie with cinnamon sugar. Slide into a 350-degree oven and bake until golden-brown, about 15 minutes.

Looks Like Lionel Messi's Found A New Sport
Soccer superstar trades pitch for cricket field in new ad
Earlier today, Lionel Messi scored in his record-extending 15th consecutive league match to help Barcelona rally for a 2-1 victory over Sevilla. (Consider that no one else has ever had a streak longer than 10.)
Messi has now scored 333 senior career goals in 444 matches and he's still just 25. There's no reason to think he'd walk away from the stop while he's still on top — but if he ever wanted to pull a Jordan-style disappearing act, he may have found his sport. Check out his new 90-second ad for Herbalife, which dropped today.
Messi has previously shot Herbalife ads with basketball and table tennis themes.

I am getting a fair number of these when working in LR4 and exporting photos [1 at a time] while selecting photos by jumping back and forth between Library and Map Module ...
After getting this, all attempts to export will fail; only solution is to exit LR4, which seems to destroy any open instance of IE9.
While exporting, not actively doing anything else on PC.
After LR4 closes, and I close IE9, PC runs really slow for severak minutes, even if all open tasks are closed out.
After PC settles down, can open LR4 and continue exporting photos.
Working on Vista 32 with 2GB RAM; when every slows down, Task Manager shows basically nothing happening with any process.
Is this a know issue; any thoughts or suggestions?
2gb is way underpowered. Try 8 minimum. RAM is very cheap.
Agreed that 2GB is seriously deficient. However, since you are on a 32-bit version of Vista, you won't get any benefit by installing 8GB since the OS will only recognize 3GB. So I'd suggest you upgrade to 4GB at least -- even though you'll only have 3GB available for programs. That would be the very least I'd suggest.
But, frankly, I'd upgrade to a 64-bit system (Win7) and 8GB of RAM. You will see a serious increase in performance all around.
Yes, good catch Rusty, no more than 2 (2.25 actually) in 32-bit, so I second Rusty's recommendation
Brett & Rusty ...
Thanks for the suggestions; more RAM would certainly be helpful.
What is interesting is that I've exported many photos [often in batches] with LR4 without issues; it is only when I started applying develop settings to the exported photos did I start getting the out of memory dialogs. Maybe related?
But no doubt that upgrading the PC to a 64 bit box would be the thing to do; maybe after Win 8 gets final release.
Thanks again.
Frankly, I wouldn't wait for Win 8. It is designed primarily for a touch-screen experience similar to tablets and smart phones. While Win 7 is also not very well thought of, I'd still go with it over Win 8. I use Win 7 on one of my laptops and on a partition on my iMac (it's for programs I need but cannot get for Mac). I'm not unhappy with it at all.
I have the same misstake!
LW3.6 works fine on my W7 32bit 4GByte RAM.
But LW4 Not Enough Memory and slow!
Where is not come a update I no buy this Version!
nice day
Sorry to hear that mangray. It seems 64-bit is the key. With 32-bit you are not using the full 4GB of RAM. It is important that besides having a 64-bit OS you also need a platform (i.e., computer) that supports 64-bit. Adobe has not hidden anything regarding the 64-bit necessity for LR4. They did accommodate those on Windows 32-bit machines running Vista and up (nothing for 32-bit Mac users). But they did not promise a bed of roses. Technology is ever advancing and that includes the platforms.
Ok Rusty,
This are the official ADOBE spec.
Premiere, Photoshop etc runs fine, my friend have a similar System it runs
better, no Error
I export only one Picture in LR4 and its come Not Enough Memory.
I export in LR3.6 120 Pictures and works fine!!!!
nice day
OP - But no doubt that upgrading the PC to a 64 bit box would be the thing to do; maybe after Win 8 gets final release.
No reason to wait. Windows 7 is an absolutely brilliant OS, and Win8 is basically Win7 with a new mobile interface added on top of it (that can easily be turned off).
Rusty - While Win 7 is also not very well thought of
Where? No way.
Ok Rusty,
This are the official ADOBE spec.
Like a "two-person" tent. Minimum specs should not be taken seriously.
I'll offer a little more input here ...
I've been watching memory usage [with Task Manager]; normally, total memory in use will stay under 1.6 GB; but for some reason, if I work continuously in LR4 [going back and forth between Library and Map] placing photos on a map background, after a while, memory usage will then start to creep upwards towards 1.9 GB.
From my past experiences testing demanding software for software manufacturing companies, this behavior is often suggestive of a memory leak within the [LR4] application.
I understand that, on 32 bit machines, LR4 is coded so as not use more than 1 GB RAM, so a creep up in memory use [only LR4 in use] might indicate some buffer clearing is not always working as expected?
I've seen LR4 use more than 8gb of my 16gb of ram
I'm having the exact same problem, and I'm running 16gb physical memory (32bit Win7). I'm having the same problem with 4.0 and RC 4.1. I've uninstalled and am dropping back to 3.6. I'll just wait until this beta testing phase is over and the real release version comes out (Version 4.5?). It's too much hassle for me to pay adobe to do their beta testing for them.
