There are several ways to edit style sheets in QuarkXPress. I'm going to show you my favorite way first and then I'll show you the other ways. My favorite way is just visually. If you have got a paragraph like this one where you've assigned the style sheet to it, in this case Jay's paragraph1, you can just make changes to the paragraph and then update the style sheet from it. So let's say that in this paragraph we really would like it to be a little bit larger type and we want to change the font to something else and we want to decrease the leading a little bit.
Now let's update the Style Sheet with these changes. That's what this button is about right here. It's the Update button. It tells you right off the bat what's the different about the text you got selected from the definition of the style sheet that you applied to it. It tells me that I increased the leading, I changed the font and changed the font size. So I click on the button and now that style sheet has been updated with the changes that I made to the text right in the document. That's it. That's the quick way to edit a style sheet. But if you like to handle things from a more technical perspective, you can do it the old-fashioned way in the QuarkXPress.
You can either go to the Edit menu and choose Style Sheets, select the style sheet you want to change, click the Edit button and make your changes here. When you click OK, it will update the style sheet and all the paragraphs that are based on the style sheet are going to update as well. Another way is to use the Style Sheet palette. Select the style sheet you want to change and then either click the palette menu and choose Edit or my favorite way is to simply Ctrl-click or right-click right on the thing and choose Edit.
It brings up the same dialog we just saw where you can make all the changes that you like. Now while we are in here, I want to talk about a few more advanced features of style sheets. At the top part here you can see that this style sheet is Based On no style, that the Next Style was the same one we are using now and the Character Style is default. Well, what does all that mean? Let me pick a different style that illustrates these features a little bit better. Here in the text of the newsletter you will see that there is a pattern. It's a headline always followed by body copy.
Well, in the Style Sheets this one is called Heads and the one after is called Stories. Let's take a look at how Heads is defined. Again, I'm going to Ctrl-click on here and choose Edit Heads. Notice that here it says Next Styles Stories. What that means is that as you're typing text into a text box, if you've applied the Heads style, when you hit a Return, the next paragraph is going to be formatted with the Story style. Now this wouldn't affect text as you import it into a text box from say a text file or somewhere else.
It only works when you're typing text in QuarkXPress. But still it can be handy. The Based On pop-up menu here allows you to effectively links style together. So that say if you using the same font and basic formatting in one place, but further on down you want to use it pretty much the same but a little bit different, you can base the second style on the first style, make any changes you want to it, say maybe make the fonts smaller. And then later if you make any changes to the original Based On style, like say change the font, that font will also change in the style that's based on that style.
An additional feature of Paragraph style sheets is that you can base them on Character Styles. What that means is it if we choose a specific Character Style that we have created and then later change the attributes of that Character Style down here, this Paragraph Style will update to reflect those changes we made to the Character Style. And of course all the paragraphs that have been assigned to that style sheet will also change to reflect the change in the Character Style. But I'm going to cancel out for this now and just point out other thing on the Style Sheet palette.
I've been using Ctrl-click or right- click to make changes and create new style sheets, but those controls are also available as buttons at the top of the palette. The Pencil button is an Edit button meaning let me edit this style sheet. This is a Duplicate button meaning make a copy of the style sheet and let me make some changes to it, and of course we already explored the Create Style Sheet and Update Style Sheet. You can probably guess with the trashcan is for. Next, we'll move on to the applying style sheets to existing text and some of the nuances involved with importing it from say Microsoft Word and overriding local formatting.

RANGOON — Nearly 2.5 million people have signed a petition in support of a proposed law that would restrict marriage in Burma between Buddhists and Muslims, according to an ultra-nationalist Buddhist monk leading the campaign.
U Wirathu, a monk who has risen to prominence by spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric in Buddhist-majority Burma, told The Irrawaddy on Thursday that the signatures would be sent to Parliament along with the proposed law, which aims to restrict interfaith marriages between Buddhist women and men of other religions.
Rights activists have opposed the proposal, which emerged last month at a major conference of Buddhist monks in Rangoon. If passed, the law would force Buddhist women to get permission from their parents and local government officials before marrying a man from any other faith. A non-Buddhist man wishing to marry a Buddhist woman would be required to convert to Buddhism.
The nationwide signature campaign began in Burma's second-biggest city, Mandalay, earlier this month, with advocates distributing copies of the proposal to pedestrians. The campaign closed in Mandalay on Monday, U Wirathu said, but was continuing in other areas.
Asked if he was pleased with collecting nearly 2.5 million signatures—in a country of about 60 million people—the monk said he was satisfied.
"If the government supported us by holding a referendum [on the proposal], we would see even more support," he told The Irrawaddy.
The proposed marriage law has been promoted as a way to improve inter-communal relations in Burma and protect Buddhist women, who supporters say could face abuse or forced religious conversion in interfaith marriages.
However, it seems that not everyone who joined the signature campaign was familiar with the proposal's details.
"I don't know about the law," Ma Htay Htay, a woman signing her name at a campaign booth in Mandalay, told The Irrawaddy earlier this month. "I heard songs playing [from the booth] about protecting Burmese women, so I came here to sign.
"Burmese women cannot go out alone at night because there are many men who might insult us, abuse us or rape us. We women are weak. I think this law will protect us from these abuses."
Another Mandalay resident, Ma Myint Lwin, also joined the campaign. "I was urged to sign if I'm Buddhist," she said. "I've heard songs from this booth as well, encouraging me to protect Burmese women, so I came here to sign. I haven't read the draft law yet but will read it later."
A campaign official at one of the booths explained why he supported the bill.
"I've seen video footage showing true stories of Buddhist women who married Muslim men and are suffering now, with no right to believe in Buddhism," he said. "If this law is passed, our Buddhist women will have protection from interfaith marriage, and this will prevent suffering."
U Wirathu said that as of this week, campaigners had collected about 950,000 signatures of support from Upper Burma and more than 1.5 million signatures from Lower Burma. He said the signatures had been sent to the head monk at a monastery in Rangoon, who would submit them to Parliament at a later date.
The proposed marriage law comes amid growing unrest in Burma between Buddhists and Muslims, who are estimated to make up some 5 percent of the country's population. Hundreds of people have been killed and more than 150,000 people—mostly Muslims—have been displaced in communal violence and anti-Muslim riots since June last year. A nationalist Buddhist campaign, led by U Wirathu and known as the 969 movement, has also gained momentum by calling on Buddhists to shun Muslim businesses.
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has opposed the marriage bill as discriminatory and a violation of human rights—criticisms that other women's rights activists have also highlighted.
"It's based on extreme nationalism and religious extremism," said Zin Mar Aung, a prominent Burmese activist who last year received the annual International Women of Courage Award from former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "It interferes with the individual liberty of Buddhist women and is an insult to their rationality."
Last month, the proposed law was condemned in a joint statement by eight Rangoon-based women's rights groups, including Zin Mar Aung's Rainfall Gender Study Group. Members of several women's groups also convened earlier this month in Rangoon to discuss the proposal.
Among those at the meeting on July 7 was 41-year-old Ma Htar Htar, an activist who last year helped launch the "Whistle for Help" campaign in Rangoon to raise awareness of sexual harassment. She said the group agreed that the draft law violated women's rights but decided they would not launch a formal protest against it at this time.
"We decided this is not something we should respect or focus our efforts on," she said. "Even if it is submitted, we don't think our government will accept it or pass it. It doesn't look like a proper law—a law should be really specific.
"We will be monitoring it, but we don't think we need to respond."
She said other proposed legislation, such as a bill to protect women from violence, were more worthy of attention and support. She added that the proposed marriage law could be a ploy by figures in power to distract the public from other issues as the country transitions from nearly half a century of military rule.
"I think this is a trick to make us shift our attention," she said. "They are trying to create conflict among monks and women—even monks are disagreeing with each other."
Some critics say the proposed marriage law highlights broader gender inequality in the country, while others say it is inappropriate for monks to mix with politics.
"I'm against the bill because it was drafted by monks. According to the Buddha, monks are solely responsible for guiding laymen to Nirvana," said Aye Thiri Sein, 33, a journalist at the True News Weekly Journal in Rangoon. "I simply can't accept the idea of clergymen's involvement in social and marital affairs.
"The most powerful organization in Burma is the army, and the Buddhist clergy are in second place," she added. "The drafting of the interfaith marriage law, led by U Wirathu, is, in my opinion, just testing their influence."
I am so unimpressed by anyone who could support such a petition and I am especially unimpressed by anyone calling themselves "Buddhist" who would sign such a petition. Certainly, they must have been born into the faith and know precious little of the Buddha's teachings or certainly don't contemplate them.
You got it right, Brian. To most of these people, as long as a person in Burma is not a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or a Hindu, that person is categorized as a Buddhist even if he/she knows squat about Buddhism.
The Myanmar women, with righteous indignation will dissent collectively , and continuously struggle against the machination of a section of the Burmese Buddhist Sangha. Myanmar is not a sacral but a secular state and nation where every one irrespective of race-tribe, religion , sex-gender, age and faith-belief can exist as human beings and persons with dignity. Fifty plus years of autocratic military class rule would never be substituted by the ordinary working people of Myanmar by another theocratic religious class. The Myanmar people with reason and life experiences , especially the youth who are presently the major force for political and economic change will see to it that this "bogus marriage bill" will never see the light of day in Myanmar in coming years.
Only those niaves signed for the [edited] proposal. Wirathu is a thug.
The regime's policies have engendered a sharp divide between Muslims and Buddhists, in spite of the fact that generations of Muslims and Buddhists had lived together peacefully in the past.
The generals have figured out that they will lose the next election and the regime is utilizing this divide to create a perception that without them in power, Burma would break out into sectarian warfare.
I would suggest that the USDP has a hand in this petition.
Of course, USDP has a hand in everything that is going on in Burma.
Than Shwe, the eccentric former psychological-warfare specialist, is playing mind games to keep the military in power.
1. Don't believe the figures
2. Some people will sign anything.
If the men from other religion can not easily marriage the buddhist women,
living together system will come up and buddist women will lost their rights.
Yes, I agree. It is testing their influence. According to Myanmar constitution 362 monks should not be allowed to dictate the laws, orders and expression of political and insulting minority religion. The Government is only able to decide what the country's important and priorities. If the Parliament is allowing expremist monks to dectitate them, the country will be more at risk. Sooner or later another proposals will be in the hidden agenda. The Extremist monks are now making laws although they are not qualified to do so. People who signed the petition do not know inside of the proposal in details too. They are urged to come and sign. It doesn't necessary mean that everyone who signs this prosopal will know actual pros and cons of this interfaih law made by extremist monks. This is against the Human Rights too. So let's see who is fair or not fair?
Yes, Ma Htar Htar was right in putting it as:
" the proposed marriage law could be a ploy by figures in power (sic Gen Than Shwe and Co) to distract the public from other issues as the country's transition from half a century of military rule and said it could be a trick to shift people's attention and trying to create conflicts among monks and women and among monks themselves"
Well, U Wirathu to note where he stands now !
And this controversial law will create arguments as:
Can a Myanmar marry a Japanese or a Korean or a Taiwanese or a German (all non-Muslim) !
Where is a line drawn that Buddha had given us a guide on this issue !
What are the Code of Conduct which Buddhist monks, to strictly follow, as guided by Buddha !
To put it plain in language:
U Wirathu had betrayed Buddha's teachings as he was being made used in this dirty game of Burmese politics; and indirectly causing the deaths in Meikhtila and elsewhere (NB: Killing is the worst crime in Buddhism)
Here is something for U Wirathu to read carefully:
[Ref: "You guys (MI personnel sic Gen Kyaw Win), don't you argue with me again– On who did it ! I did it ! So, what?" – Gen Than Shwe(on De-Pe-Yinn massacre) ]
The Title is misleading and scare-mongering. There is NO proposal for Restriction of marriages between people of different faiths. The proposal is just to protect the rights of women to have no restriction imposed on them after marriage to someone with different religion.
We have problem in Burma. Although restrictions are made for clergymen's involvement with politics and violation in social matters but it is still happening by breaching the rule of constitution law. This could be the weakness of the government and SMNC ( Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee ).
You can get signitures up to 60 millions but these are not genuine votes…you are getting signitures because of influence and pressure. IN myanmar people have two feelings..inside and outside expression are different. with my survey, it is a sham.
The global is watching what is going on Union Of Republic of Myanmar. Western eased some sactions and foreign countries giving loans and supports in every corner with the hope that Burma is going to be a Democratic country definately by putting their trust on the declaration by the Government. But the Government is taking no appropriate action on clergymen behaving against Buddha guidance. To be truthful, the law has to be made by the government law makers, Judges and law associations based on court cases. Why laymen are making the law in their own hands? That will be submitted Parliament to prove the proposal. U.s, UK, Japan, France and other top countries are helping Nay Pyi Taw for their extensive reforms to push forward to achieve Democracy process. Clergymen are distracting this. Due to these happening people might get fed up with Burma and block their trades again to reinstate the SACTIONS. We have to be very careful and we must think wisely. The rule of law should apply to all people including clergymen. Why government is so weak?
It is just a shame to call themselves as Buddhist whom are loving, kindness people. Does anyone think that all Buddhist men are good husbands? I doubt that. Some people are using religion to coverup their sin and not knowing true meaning of religion. In fact, leave religion alone and just learn to live together in harmony. Religion itself is good; just some people are not ready to exercise/follow any kind of religion because they can't distinguish right and wrong.
Absolutely right Fairlady. I agreed with you. People who got married can only think of husband and wife marriage life. People who never been married will never think of what marraige men feel or what married women feel. This is the time that we all need global unity for all religions. What sort of anxiety and bad thinking to destroy the unity whilst making their selve to be influence on the public. We will not achieve Democracy with this sort of attitude and course of action. Not only that clergymen don't work and they may not feel the poverty life of the people in Burma. Because rich people are surrounded by them and they could ask for what they want from rich people. Value for work and taking pain for survival have not been taken into account either.
Exactly Ko Peter Shwe.. it also is funny that some clergymen who have never been to be husbands are talking about marriage life. How much do they know about marriage and even dare to talk about who to marry. Why don't they quit being clergymen living on DONATIONS and work like us and try to support BURMESE women so they don't need to marry other man who are not BUDDHIST…
I am debating on Interfaith Marriage Law ( draft law ) and a full expanation can be viewed on http://www.myanmartodaynews.com if you are interested Fairlady. You can find the topic from the list of article names. Article name is what the country's requirement is " Counseling Services not Interfaith marraige law". Have a try. You will agree to this definitely. Thank you.
I think its a good idea and all Buddhists should give their supports. Hopefully this rules would also be implemented by Sri Lanka, Thailand, Taiwan and other Buddhist nations. There is no reason why Buddhists must convert to others religion by force – it must be stopped.
Well, question is why a Buddhist girl marrying a Muslim man cannot remain a Buddhist? May be, Muslims should start changing their mentality as well? There is a similar law in a Muslim Malaysia and nobody speaks about it. It is not that I like such laws, just pointing out to the reality.
a person in SAUDI ARAB was sentenced to 7 years in prison for converting to christianity, can you believe this,
anyone who converts to islam is punishable to death if he converts back to another religion,
why are you people poking in Myanmar`s internal matters? If buddhists decided to give their women more powers than the women of saudi arab, or Iran, Pakistan, then I completely support it

UNDATED - Given the world did not end in a spectacular Y2K or an apocalyptic Second Coming and that Jan. 18 marks the beginning of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, it might be a good time to ask: In Christianity's third millennium, what will Christianity in America look like?
The short answer is: different. Maybe very different.
For one thing, the move toward "cafeteria Christianity" appearing at the end of the 20th century - believers picking and choosing what appeals to them in various denominations, even in other faiths - is likely to gather steam in the 21st.
The same goes for the tendency to expand still further the boundaries of what constitutes religious belief. How else to explain the cyber-cult founded on the sacred memory of Princess Diana?
"Religion has become a bit of a dirty word. It sounds dead, old-fashioned, archaic," said George Gallup Jr., the Princeton, N.J.-based religion pollster. "Spirituality is a safer word. If you can say you are spiritual, you don't have to make a commitment. For a lot of people it's a way out."
While moral conservatives will decry this trend as further evidence of religious decline, their lamentations might miss the real novelty - and danger - of the coming Christianity.
In the past, religion has had a dual role of soothing the soul while doing God's work in society. Lately, religion has become so psychologized that its aim is often purely one of inner peace. The ancient commandment to help one's neighbor can become an afterthought. Combine that with faddism and good old American individualism, and we see a "religion" so privatized that it has little impact on society at large.
Yet religion flourishes. Surveys consistently put the level of Americans' belief in some higher power at close to 95 percent, and attendance at weekly religious observances of one form or another has held remarkably steady throughout the years at around 40 percent. About one-third of Americans say they had a profound religious experience, and the rest seem to be looking for one.
While leaders of the various churches have in the last few decades made great strides toward healing the divisions that fractured Christianity from the 11th century onward, the faith is at its foundations more fragmented today than before.
In her 1995 book, "Re-Discovering the Sacred," author Phyllis Tickle counted up some 2,500 distinct forms of Christianity in America. Angels, crystals and books like "The Celestine Prophecy" rival Jesus in the hearts of these crossover Christians.
The widening of religious choice also seems to have brought a decline in loyalty to tradition.
In 1958, four out of every 100 Americans left the denomination in which they were raised. Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians were born, married and buried in the family faith. By the late 1980s, one survey showed more than a third of American Christians identified with a church other than the one they were raised in. At least 60 percent of Americans have spouses from other denominations. Since 1972, the proportion of Americans expressing no religious preference doubled, from 7 to 14 percent.
Among possible reasons for the change are the rejection of authority in the countercultural '60s, the fraying of family ties and the mobility of Americans.
"One way to understand American religion and chart its future," write Richard Cimino and Don Lattin in "Shopping for Faith: American Religion in the New Millennium," their 1998 survey, "is to see the world of faith like any other product or service in the U.S. economy."
Hence, the megachurches that model themselves on shopping malls and corporate offices so as to lure "clients," as worshippers are now called. "Servicing our customers . . . continues to be a core mission," says the Dallas-based Leadership Network, a pioneer in the booming church consulting industry. "This new paradigm is not centered in theology."
In other words, what you believe matters less than ever. This phenomenon is especially prevalent among the baby boomer generation - the 76 million Americans who began turning 50 in 1996 and started looking for God, but on their own terms.
Beyond the fluidity of worship practices and the apparent shallowness of much contemporary spirituality, however, lies the true difference in the faith of the future - and the danger that religious leaders should be focusing on. It is rooted in the longstanding American tension between the individual and the communal.
Ever since the Puritans, the autonomy of the individual, especially in matters of conscience, has been sacrosanct to Americans. But under the distorting strains of modern life and influenced by the growing importance of "experiential" religion - Marian visions, Buddhist meditations, born-again conversions at the virtual hands of televangelists - faith began to slip the moorings that always anchored it at the heart of the community.
The end point of this evolution is already coming into focus.
According to one survey, eight in 10 Americans already say the Internet plays a role in their spiritual lives, and in another close to 20 percent say they will rely "primarily or exclusively on the Internet for religious input" by 2010.
Combine that with the Gallup poll showing that seven in 10 Americans believe you can be religious without going to church and we begin to see the outlines of a high-tech religion in which "worshippers" sit alone in front of computers or flat-screen TVs at the time of their choice and commune to the rhythms of a "faith" whose tenets they have chosen from a menu of options.

On Thursday, specialty chemicals producer Rockwood Holdings (UNKNOWN: ROC.DL ) announced that it has agreed to buy out partner Kemira Oyj's 39% interest in the companies' Sachtleben titanium dioxide (TiO2) joint venture. Rockwood will pay EUR 97.5 million, or $130 million, to take control of the JV, in a transaction expected to close by February 19, 2013.
Perversely, though, while Rockwood is paying to acquire Sachtleben, it may not really want to own it. In a statement explaining the move, Rockwood Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Seifi Ghasemi noted that "the titanium dioxide business is non-core [and] it is our key objective this year to explore and execute on the best strategic option for Rockwood. Attaining 100% ownership of the joint venture provides us with the flexibility to achieve this goal."
In other words, Rockwood's real motivation in wanting to own all of Sachtleben appears to be ... because it will make it easier to sell all off Sachtleben to somebody else.

Russian TV: The US spy chief has told the Congress President Bashar Al-Assad is fighting against Al-Qaeda of Iraq. James Clapper is the first top US official to acknowledge US might indirectly support insurgents.
Since December there have been Bombings in Damascus and Aleppo that "had all the earmarks of an Al-Qaeda like attack," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday.
He added that Syrian opposition groups, fighting against the existing regime of President al-Assad may have been infiltrated by Al-Qaida. "However likely without their knowledge", he said.
Clapper said the lack of a unified opposition group could leave a power vacuum that extremists could fill if the Syrian government falls, a potential development he called "troubling."
His comments confirmed earlier reports that US officials suspected Al-Qaeda's hand in the bombings last week which left dozens dead.
The leader of Al-Qaeda has voiced his support for the Syrian uprising. In an eight-minute video posted on Sunday on a jihadist website, Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan to aid the Syrian rebels.
However the US and its allies continue to hold on to a one-sided stance.

MUMBAI, India -- It looks like an iPad, only it's 1/14th the cost. India has unveiled the prototype of a $35 basic touchscreen tablet aimed at students, which it hopes to bring into production by 2011.
If the government can find a manufacturer, the Linux-operating-system-based computer would be the latest in a string of "world's cheapest" innovations to hit the market out of India, which is home to the $2,127 compact Nano car, the $16 water purifier and the $2,000 open-heart surgery.
The tablet can be used for functions like word processing, web browsing and video-conferencing. It has a solar power option too, important for India's energy-starved hinterlands, though that add-on costs extra.
"This is our answer to MIT's $100 computer," Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal told the Economic Times when he unveiled the device Thursday.
In 2005, Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, unveiled a prototype of a $100 laptop for children in the developing world. India rejected that as too expensive and embarked on a multiyear effort to develop a cheaper option of its own.
Negroponte's laptop ended up costing about $200, but in May his nonprofit association, One Laptop Per Child, said it plans to launch a basic tablet computer for $99.
Sibal turned to students and professors at India's elite technical universities to develop the $35 tablet after receiving a "lukewarm" response from the private sector. He hopes to get the cost down to $10 eventually.
Mamta Varma, a ministry spokeswoman, said falling hardware costs and intelligent design make the price tag plausible. The tablet doesn't have a hard disk, but instead uses a memory card, much like a mobile phone.
The tablet design cuts hardware costs, and the use of open-source software also adds to savings, she said.
Varma said several global manufacturers, including at least one from Taiwan, have shown interest in making the low-cost device, but no manufacturing or distribution deals have been finalized.
India plans to subsidize the cost of the tablet for its students, bringing the purchase price down to around $20.
"Depending on the quality of material they are using, certainly it's plausible," said Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at Forrester Research. "The question is, is it good enough for students?"
Profitability is also a question for the $35 machine.
Epps said government subsidies or dual marketing -- where higher-priced sales in the developed world are used to subside low-cost sales in markets like India -- could convince a manufacturer to come on board.
This and similar efforts, like the Kakai Kno and the Entourage Edge tablets, show that there is global demand for an affordable device to trim high textbook costs, she said.
If it works, Epps predicted that the device could send a shiver of cost-consciousness through the industry.
"It puts pressure on all device manufacturers to keep costs down and innovate," she said.

Skip to comments.HP UK pulls Linux from all new netbooks
Posted on 02/08/2009 3:45:31 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
HP has decided UK consumers don't want Linux-based netbooks. Actually, it appears to believe business buyers don't want the open-source OS either.
It emerged today that the company will not now be bringing its Mini 1000 netbook to the UK - at least not with Linux on board.
Nor will it release the more business-oriented Mini 2140 with Linux.
HP's Mini 1000: no Linux option in the UK
HP already offers the Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition, along with the Compaq 700, which is the Mini 1000 rebadged with the alternative brandname. The various versions of the 700 and the Vivienne Tam 1000 all come with Windows XP pre-loaded.

Win7 is NOT "everything that Longhorn promised to be (before it got castrated and turned into Vista". That major overhaul is waiting for (yet) another release.
The Beta of Win7 is indeed faster and may be more stable than Vista. It has many features removed and/or relocated to Microsoft's cloud service (Windows Live), to reduce its footprint. Most people who panned Vista seem to like Win7 so far.
System-wise, Win7 is essentially Vista with some fixes. Steve Ballmer said as much -- it's minor changes, not an overhaul.
--The guy in the background with the beard and propellor cap
--Everybody seems to have the same hair color
Actually, it looks like a pretty neat event.
At work, I have a script that backs up /usr/local, /home, and /etc to another server using rsync. This script runs daily, and takes about 3 minutes. If, for whatever reason I need to recover my home directory (or any file or directory inside my home, it's a matter of a simple rsync command to bring me back to exactly where I was as of my last backup.
Granted, I'm a power user so it's fairly easy for me to do this, but using the standard tools available with the operating system, I was able to do the same thing for my mother-in-law's laptop, and have it automated so she doesn't need to do anything to make it happen, and can drag and drop from my desktop to her laptop easily using konqueror and the fish:// protocol (which is just a bookmark in her browser to her). Also, because I'm backing up her homedir to my desktop, if she sits down there and logs in, it looks exactly like her laptop to her.
There is a lot of power available in Linux to do some cool things if you know what your're doing.
Well, and forcing them to shell out some about, say $25 for an OS they aren't even going to use.
Actually, it's you trying to beat down an argument he wasn't making. Refer to his next post (after he said he used Debian):
Also, please note that I did not mention upgrades. I was referring to the unfortunate feature of Windows which results in having to occasionally reinstall it to get it to run right again.
Have been running an eeepc 900 since last summer with Xandros using Celeron processor and 1gb ram. People who have used it comment that it's pretty fast, never complain. This OS & netbook have performed flawlessly, I'm impressed.
BTW, I used this netbook as a 'test pc' for Windows 7 Ultimate. It runs pretty smooth with the minimal processor. I think W7 is faster than vista and uses less resources. It seems to work well. I read that one of the 6 versions of W7 will be used for netbooks.
***The Beta of Win7 is indeed faster and may be more stable than Vista. It has many features removed and/or relocated to Microsoft's cloud service (Windows Live), to reduce its footprint. Most people who panned Vista seem to like Win7 so far. ***
LOL thats great...
"Yes because Sun and Novell were the pinnacle of financial health before they got in the Linux Market."
RedHat which is a Linux only company is doing just fine. IBM makes a good mint off of their Linux line of business as well. As always you confuse correlation with causation..
Thank you for being a such a good, loyal Microsoft customer for all these years.
I hope you're also using Office 2007.
Are you in need of any Microsoft chochkas? T-shirts?
Thank you for that laugh. Really truly, I laughed out loud.
Now please read this: http://www.freerepublic.com/~dayglored/, specifically the part at the bottom labeled: "Computer-tech Full Disclosure Section"
Oh, hell, here it is:
I participate in a number of tech (computer) threads, so to save the effort of posting a "Full Disclosure" comment in each one when somebody wonders where my comments or opinions are coming from, here's a summary of my tech background and creds:Really? ME??? A loyal Microsoft customer? Hardly. I've just run Windows for a long time. But I've run Unix and Macs for considerably longer.
I started as an audio electronics hobbyist in 1964, and was designing and building tube amplifiers by 1968 (for my elec. guitar). I entered college in 1970, learned Fortran and PDP8 assembler, earned a BS in Physics, and started working as an engineer designing microcomputers (hardware and software). I've never stopped since (that's 38 years of programming and 34 years of hardware engineering as of 2008).
During my engineering career, I've designed, built, programmed, and delivered spacecraft attitude control electronics, high-power multi-phase inverters, industrial process controllers, home computers and peripherals, and embedded controllers. Mostly I've worked for small companies, but I spent half a dozen years as an independent consultant and still do some consulting on the side.
Computer-wise, I used (and hacked) IBM-PCs starting in 1982; Macintoshes in 1984; got my first Unix system in 1985, learned C, and it's still my favorite language. Both BSD and Sys5 are like family. **I've used every version of Windows from 2.0 onward.** Built a network of Unix workstations in the early 90's. Started playing with Linux in the late 90's, built my first Linux workstation in 2001. Windows systems have provided my income more than any other. Had a break though -- designed and programmed peripherals for Mac OS-X systems starting in 2001.
I'm currently Director of System Administration for a software company with offices networked around the globe, and have learned a few things about security, though I don't consider myself an expert in that field.
I work every day -- and play at home every night -- in OS-X, Windows, Linux, NetBSD. I love 'em all, and I hate 'em all. I have them all running at home (mostly in VMware VMs) as well as in the network I administer professionally.
I don't take sides in religious tech arguments. OSes and hardware architectures all have their strengths and weaknesses. That said, OS-wise I'm more of a "Unix-head" than anything else. Hardware-wise, I prefer Apple's products (currently have MacBooks and Minis). That's subject to change, of course...

Course description
The Integrated Professional Master in Languages (IPML) involves four years of full-time study in Manchester of two of the languages offered by the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures. Both languages are studied at an advanced level (post-A-level or equivalent) and the final year of study is taught and assessed at master's level. The student's time in Manchester is combined with a minimum of two compulsory periods of residence abroad. Depending on the pathway and the residence abroad options chosen by the student, the IPML may be completed as a four-, five- or six-year programme.
- French courses at Manchester give students a firm grounding in French language and the chance to explore in depth French culture, linguistics, film, art, history and literature. They equip students with the skills needed to thrive in French-speaking environments.
- Throughout the course students are trained in modern spoken and written French by following a high-level core language course. From Year One, students discover how the language really works by learning about its morphology, syntax, phonology and phonetics.
- Students thoroughly develop their French language skills by working with a variety of oral and written French texts and engaging in discussions in French (most of this language instruction takes place in French and is predominantly taught by native speakers).
- Students may also take a set of broad-based content courses that provide essential grounding in key areas of French and Francophone culture (especially visual studies), society, linguistics, history and literature. Some of the content teaching on these courses is in English, so that students can focus fully on the new concepts introduced to them and can hone not only their French language skills, but also their expression and accuracy in English: key transferable skills for the workplace following graduation.
- Students develop detailed knowledge of the language and culture of Italy from the medieval period to the present day.
- The range of units offered across all years of the programme combine the study of history, politics, literary, linguistic and visual culture of the peninsula and are taught by specialists in the fields.
- We offer a linguistics pathway through the programme for those interested in the history of the Italian language and its dialects.
- Assessment comprises methods including essays, commentaries, presentations and exams. Language courses, taught by native speakers, involve comprehension, translation, grammar and oral work.
Open days
The University holds Open Days regularly (usually June, September and October) where you have the opportunity to tour the campus and find out more about the facilities and courses we offer.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA National News Release
U.S. Department of Labor
News Release USDL: 97-355
Thursday, October 9, 1997
Contact: Susan Fleming (202)219-8151
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is reopening its recently promulgated standards on longshoring and marine terminals to consider whether to permit "piggybacking," the practice of lifting two empty containers together.
OSHA will hold an informal public meeting on Jan. 27, 1998, to discuss safety concerns and risks associated with piggybacking and technological and economic feasibility issues of this practice.
When the agency was updating its longshoring and marine terminals standard, there was not enough information in the record to determine how to regulate the practice of lifting two empty containers vertically hooked together by semi-automatic twist locks and corner castings. Therefore, the agency is seeking to develop information on this practice to determine how to address this issue.
Piggybacking is not prohibited by current standards; however, OSHA has cautioned those who lift containers with this system to inspect containers for visible defects, verify that both containers are empty, assure that containers are properly marked, make certain that twist locks operate in the same manner, check to see that the load does not exceed the capacity of the crane, make certain that the top container is vertically lifted, maintain documents that show the capacities of the twist locks and corner castings and direct employees to stay clear of the lifting area.
OSHA is seeking comments about how common piggybacking is; what cost savings are associated with it; whether there have been problems with twist locks related to damage, weather or age; and whether there have been incidents where piggybacked containers have fallen and injured or nearly missed workers.
Written comments and notices of intention to appear at the informal public meeting must be postmarked by Dec. 8, 1997. Those who request more than 10 minutes for their presentations at the informal public meeting and those who plan to submit documentary evidence must submit the full text of their testimony and all evidence postmarked no later than Jan. 13, 1998.
Written comments should be submitted in quadruplicate or with one hard copy and one disk in WordPerfect or ASCII to the OSHA Docket Office, Docket S-025A, Room N2625, 200 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. Comments of 10 pages or less may be faxed to the Docket Office at (202) 219-5046, if followed by a hard copy.
Notice of the limited re-opening of longshoring and marine terminals standards is scheduled to appear in the October 9, 1997, Federal Register.

A/C worked on and off. During the entire cruise (19 days)
Water leaking from the ceiling 5 to 8 days. Our stateroom was totally flooded on the 10th day of the cruise. Could not use out [aid for room for TWO (2) days.
Hot water problems. First no hot water, then later on cruise no cold water, and even on the 18 day had no hot water. COLD SHOWERS and I had to pay full fare.
Beautiful balcony was UN painted as of Dec. 16th, later on cruise they got around to painting it. Could no use it for two days because of their painting and the smell was just so fine it really made you want to seat out there with the paint odor.
Pool. After the 5th day the water turned GREEN. Finally after enough complaints they drained it. Oh I forgot they also broke glass lights on day and the glass fell into the pool. You think they would have drained it again. Think again.
The dinning experience was also lacking. This was the worst I have experienced. We sailed three months prior on a CHEAP Carnival Mexico cruise and the food and service was as good if not better. The Pinnacle room (Their FINE dinning) was also very poor. The staff was School teachers who had never waited tables. The food was so, and sometimes COLD. A beautiful steak COLD. Lobster salty. One night waited 1 hour to get BREAD. Did not get out of the place for 3 hours.
CORPORATE made a decision to sail KNOWNING the problems. Corporate past the buck to the Cruise ship personnel. The manager and captain gave us letter of apology on the last day. Their solution was to give a SMALL credit for another HAL Cruise that had to be used in one year. NOT GOOD. This is the Worst showing of a cruise ship I have had. From the first day until the last. The desk personnel was in-experienced and without a clue of what to do. This should be a mark on their records. The Captain and Hotel Manager should look at this as their VALDEZ.
Do not sail on a retro-fitted SHIP for the first 6 months. BEWARE!

Text: The reading will be a mix of
journal articles and textbook chapters. Required reading
(journal articles, book chapters) that does not come from the
textbook will be linked from this web page (links in the
syllabus below). The textbook is Conservation
of Wildlife Populations, 2nd edition by L.S.
Mills (Blackwell Publishing, ISBN
We will use the free software package R to analyze data and to construct simple mathematical models of population dynamics to estimate extinction risk. To conduct research in conservation biology and ecology it is now absolutely necessary to become proficient with R, which is very widely used for statistical analysis and mathematical modelling in ecology. R is installed in the MSU student computer labs but I very strongly suggest that you download it (free) from the Comprehensive R Archive Network, CRAN. We will use R within R Studio, a free interface that makes it easier to learn and use R. The class will use a series of annotated examples, help sessions and homework to help you learn how to analyze ecological data and construct population models in R.
There will be reading assignments specific to the R software, from "A Beginner's Guide to R" by Zuur, Ieno and Meesters. You can download a free copy of this book using MSU's SpringerLink connection, as long as you are logged onto an MSU-domain computer: http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-0-387-93837-0/page/1 (click the 'download book' link to get the entire thing as a pdf).
One of the positive aspects of working with R is that there are many excellent sources of help. Some of these are:
The CRAN website also has links to many open-access books on R:
BIOE 440: Three
in-class exams (10% each, one in finals week), a paper (15%),
one take home test (15%), and ~8 homework assignments (40%).
BIOE 521: The same as 440, except that homework will count for only 25%, there is an in-class presentation in the final two weeks (15%) and there are different requirements for the paper and take home exam.
Paper Instructions
Due Wednesday November 16th
You should look at the requirements, pick a topic and begin
looking for articles with plenty of lead time.
Instructions for the citation format are here. Using some sort of reference manager software saves a lot of time by allowing you to single-click download citations from sources like Google Scholar, and then use a single-click 'cite-while-you write' feature to cite any downloaded reference in your paper and have it added automatically to the paper's bibliography, in any format you choose. MSU has a free subscription to EndNote for students, click for details of how to download and use.
Course Outline:
We will cover
some or all of the following major subjects, depending on time:
Human population growth - the 'arms race' between growth rates and carrying capacity
- methods of measurement,
broad patterns, and processes that maintain diversity
Extinction - recent and historical rates and causes of extinction and population decline.
Global warming and its consequences for ecology and conservation. This will focus primarily on understanding the carbon cycle and atmospheric processes, how anthropogenic influences are altering these, and the consequences for ecological processes (mainly the distribution and abundance of species). We'll address ecological economics to some extent
Speciation and the ESA - the process generating diversity, and tricky interactions between phylogeny, taxonomy and law.
Genetic issues in conservation -
inbreeding, hybridization, and the use of molecular genetic
tools in conservation.
Extinction risk - demography, population dynamics, stochasticity and PVA
Predation and Harvesting- population dynamics with interspecific interactions, discounting, externalities, publicly held goods
Community-level approaches -
Diversity and Stability
Landscape approaches- hotspots, gap analysis
These fall into five main sections: general issues, human impacts, genetic and evolutionary approaches, single-species approaches, and multi-species or location-based approaches.

I went there with no expectations. My seats were fantastic. I found I didn't like the show. The actors did a wonerful job. The script tried to appeal to adults and kids alike and it didn't work for me. It didn't translate well from a 24 minutes...continued

After seeing at least 6-7 Doctors looking for someone that could help me find relief from the excruciating nerve pain in my leg. Dr. Bouinyi took the ...
Dr. Bonunyi was the 9th and last Doctors that I saw for a very painful condition. He was puzzled at what could be causing this pain and tried a medication as a long shot and it was my lifesaver! I will not ever go without this medicine no matter what.He did numerous tests but none were helpful in finding a diagnosis but at least he has me on the correct medicine.He is a wonderful Doctor and I was very sad when he moved away. I reccomend Dr. Bouinyi to anyone that is looking for a competent and compassionate Dr.
Dr. Bouiynyi should be considered an OK dr. He meets most requirements that go above and beyond just pointing out what a dr. should anyway. The problem is the staff.There could be noone at the window (especially in the Kenosha office) for sometimes up to 15 minutes and when they finally do show up, they will ask you to reschedule as you will be marked as late. Get 3 lates and you will be asked by the incompetant staff to find another Dr.

Chandlers 2nd season of playing all 82 games is practically the same as Gallo stats now, only Chandler had a rebound and assist more the rest is the same.
This 3rd season of Chandler, his stats are the same as his stats last season accept his FG% increased to 46%.
Chandlers first 15 games this season was off with his decision-making performance looking every bit like a BUM (jacking-up dum missed shots). WHY? b/c he had to play alongside of a 31 mpg Gallo, whom he was not familiar with in a lineup. However.....
Chandler's last 20 games along with Gallo in the starting lineup with him has raised both players stats tremendously, and took the Knicks on a 12-8 winning record. The two players has learned to "JELL" with each other while complimenting each other performance.
And that is 35 games into the Knicks season.
Their positions are no-longer important, what is important is the two players reached a decent "Tandem" together on the court which is improving as the season goes along.
Which would u trade this season?
I say none for the next two season...
I kinda think they compliment each other....One is a better defender, one is a better shooter. Both can slash and get their hands dirty on offense. Gallo has a higher ceiling but Wilson is a good roleplayer swingman. He'll probably be gone when his contract is up tho.
I am starting to come around on my opinions of Chandler. I really felt he didn't fit with this team. Being that Gallo is the better SF for this system. But Chandler has been very quietly consistent and is one of the main reasons for this winning streak.
Could he be our starting SG for the future? In time, maybe yes. Remember, he didn't have an offseason to work on his game because he was recovering from surgery. And he still says his ankle is only 95% but getting better all the time.
If he can stay healthy all year, an offseason of working on outside shooting and ball-handling could do wonders for his game and solidify his role as a SG. Maybe him and Gallo could work together during the offseason. They both seem to have strong work ethics and this could only stengthen their chemistry. Maybe Donnie and D'Antoni were right about making Chandler and Gallo the building blocks.
Still a long way to go. But I am more hopeful now than I was before.
They really are just two different players. Body wise real tall/thin with length gallinari, tall and a little more stocky/powerfull. Gallinari strength outside shooting and size, chandlers athletism/speed and finishing. they both rebound well, both versatile, both young and developing. I love chandler, he has really stepped it up. He's a solid player capable of producing big time, like last night. But Gallo can hit the big outside shots, like last night.
I think as many have said the pair play well together, also they are like puzzle pieces, what one strengths are the others weakness. Gallo looks a little out of control when he goes to the basket, but I'm sure that will develope. Chandler is not consistent from outside, but as lee developed mid-deep 2pt shooting, I'm sure chandler will develope an outside game. Especially in this system where taking a 3 point shot is never frowned on, hitting a huge 3 in game, is a confidence booster.
I hope they plan to go forward with both. I really like the duo. The real question is, Lee is having a career year? What do we do at years end? I mean, I think it'd be wise to extend him if we can before the years out. Maybe get him a little cheaper then on the free agent market. His hustle reminds me of oakley, but with more flare and scoring ability.
how will the current pieces fit with whoever we get, if anyone.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
In the NBA HELL-YEAH! Chandler's offense or defense brings a WIN.
in the Euro-League Hell No! Gallo plays 3 to 4 positions for a WIN.
Both players next step is "Team-Leadership", which Chandler is doing and probably dont realize it. Chandler listen and look towards Lee & Jefferies for positioning help on the court, while Gallo & Bender look at Chandler for position on court.
Al Harrington leadership on court is questionable after the 1-9 start, which made the players start communicating more on the court.
Gallo & Chandler should remind us of Turk & Lewis by midseason.
Don't forget it's usually Chandler or Lee who make the dish to Gallo. Very often Chandler makes the extra pass on the wing and who is it waiting for that pass?
Chandler's jumpshot and driving game is WEAK.
At prime, he'll be a 15 ppg scorer.
Thats it.
His defense is average at best, far from a lock down defender.
He's a below average passer at the SG position.
He's just an average guy, nothing special except his agility and athelicism which he doesnt use to the best of his ability.
Gallinari > Chandler, no comparision. Gallinari has been better than Chandler since 1987, and Gallinari wasn't even born.
In the last month and a half, Chandler has been head and shoulders the superior of the 2.
Gallo is as predictable as a pet rock on offense. Defence has really shown improvement though.
Chandler is playing consistently and playing the game he should play - driving, cutting, finishing in the paint.
There are all these trade Chandler scenarios floating around, Chandler for a 2nd round pick was one (wtf?) but I'd take Wilson over Gallo in a blind fit.
Chandlers been coming on strong of late and he's been pretty consistent this season but i'd like to use his value around the league( which he's gaining ) and trade him for a C we need a center more then we need a 6th man we have Douglas who can come off the bench and make us play at a quicker more efficient pace and the defense is fluid as hell, bottom line i like chandler but id like to trade him and get a legit starting C
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
He only shows flashes of being aggressive
The onnly thing impressive with Gallo is his defense is improving and his rebounding has been good.
Chandler as of right now is the better player...Chandler's drive game is not weak?? When he drives and shoots close shots he almost makes it everytime, that is his bread and butter on offense, he even shows some flashy moves that make me see the future star in him that can break out any season.
Chandler blocks shots, guards the best players on the other team.
Chandler is dumb, however, but Gallo has proven to be a dummy as well with his stupid jump passes that go for turnovers or his bricks that he throws up once a game.
Right now Chandler>Gallo
In the future Gallo> Chandler
Danillo has so much upside that he can be compared to many players...let's just hope he is not like Barganani who took years to develop into a legit starter.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Gallo will be a 3-4 with LeBron. He is part of the front court, rebounding difficulties and all.
Chandler is a jack of all trades role/ bench player on a winning team. He will play the 2-3-4. He is a reserve.
Theres no such thing as right now.
Every GM in the NBA would take Gallinari over Chandler, no question.
Chandler is very limited.
Gallinari gets no touches on offense, you can't blame the inconsistency all on him.
Chandler took 150 3pt shots...shot 26% from 3pt...this is our 3? A 3 in this offense needs to hit a 3...even Grant Hill develop his range in Phoneix, when he was purely a midrange guy. Chandler's jumpshot is weak.
5 rebounds in 35 minutes....Gallinari does the same thing with no vertical leap. Chandler has all these hops, but doesn't use it. He's a waste of time, and a waste of space on this team.
Chandler takes 2.5 free throw attempts per game.
Gallinari takes 3.4 free throw attempts per game in LESS minutes.
Gallinari is the better help defender, and more aware defender. Chandler is the better post defender by default, but Gallinari can learn that part of the game easily because he was never a 3pt shooter or defender in Europe, and he came to New York strong in both attributes.
Chandler averages like .75 blocks per game...thats Eddy Curry status...since the when the **** he became a shot blocker? You're making **** up. .75 is probably the highest Chandler will ever finish. he's not an aggressive player, thus will never be the shot blocker you think he is.
Chandler a future STAR?!??!?!?!?! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Paul, you're done for the week.
I know CHandler's 3 point shooting sucks I NEVER COMPARED THEIR OUTSIDE SHOT! So who is really making stuff up here?
Chandler's game is to drive to the basket consistently and post up, he has strength and athleticism that he can use for his advantage.
Gallo should drive to the basket to force defenders to play him back to free him up for jump shots...Gallo has done a great job at realizing that he can draw fouls like a beast.
We are now comparing someone in Chandler who started the season off terribly, then improved over the course of the season, and now he is hurt so you will obviously bash Chandler and see Gallo as victor because Gallo has FINALLY been playing good when Gallo was horrible for a month straight, worse than Chandler's cold streak in my opinion due to the embarissing decision making.
Chandler is out for the season, Gallo is healthy and improving....for most of this season Chandler has helped....Gallo had spurts especially on offense, only consistent on defense and rebounding.
Once Chandler got out of his slump in the start due to him not practicing at all from surgery, his game picked up and he was a force whether you choose to ignore the past or not.
Chandler always faces the best offensive opponents, thus making him the best defender on the team, have you watched his matchups all season? Kobe Bryant, etc...that explains it.
As I said...
RIght Now Chandler is better....the experience, defense, athleticism, and ability to drive to the basket make him better overall.
It is close but CHandler gets the nod.
In the future...even next year, I can see Gallo being better....but Gallo has to learn his game and consistently post up and consistently drive towards the basket, so many games he failed because he just bricked three point shots...it came to a point, during his cold streak(rookie wall) where he was actually hurting our team.
Chandler learned it by driving and posting....Gallo learned it recently by not bricking three point shots that he was taking excessively when he should have been driving.
You were the one that said that Gallo was known for driving to the basket in Europe, and he never did that untill recently....so the whole season he did not even use his strengths.... Chandler has been more consistent this season
