Euclid to start next step in rehabilitating abandoned homes
Euclid is holding a groundbreaking at 3 p.m. today at 324 E. 195th Street, the first under the city's Housing Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program.
The program is funded through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program developed by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to help address the effects of abandoned, vacant and foreclosed properties.
Through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, Euclid was awarded more than $2.5 million to acquire, rehabilitate and demolish vacant foreclosed residential properties.
To date, Euclid has acquired approximately 45 properties with NSP funds, and plans to bid several rounds of work to rehabilitate between 25 and 30 homes in the coming months. Upon completion of the rehabilitation, the homes will be sold to persons who meet the designated NSP income guidelines as determined by HUD.
In a unique aspect of the Euclid program, some of the homes will be rehabilitated for maximum accessibility and visitability to address the needs of handicapped or wheelchair-bound persons who desire to own their own home.
Officials said that after the initial houses are rehabilitated and sold, proceeds from these sales will be used to continue rehabilitation work or to build new houses on some of the vacant lots throughout the city, putting these properties back into productive use.

In an effort to further expand his brand and consolidate power within the industry, Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978, which recently added Young Money's Nicki Minaj to its impressive roster of clients, announced that they will be merging soon. According to Bryant, the parties are just shy of "making [their joint venture] official on paper."
But it's obvious from the amount of love, trust and respect that Cortez Bryant is shown by his superstar artists that the man knows what he's doing.
"If it wasn't for Cortez, me and Lil Wayne wouldn't be here." Drake said in an interview at the beginning of the year. "If you love Drake and Lil Wayne, you gotta love Cortez Bryant. I do."

Originally published Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Trip to Stanford will be litmus test for Seattle U.
The Seattle University Redhawks, who lost by 40 at Virginia two weeks ago, will get another tough test Wednesday at Stanford.
Seattle Times staff reporter
For the first time since their return to Division I, the Seattle University Redhawks can set a goal of winning a conference title.
As a first-year member of the Western Athletic Conference, the Redhawks will be eligible in March for the conference's postseason tournament and automatic NCAA tournament berth.
So this year, as the Redhawks navigate the early portion of their schedule, the goal is to get ready for the WAC as much as anything else.
Still, games like Wednesday night's contest at Stanford can serve as a useful guide of where the team is and what it needs to do to get better. Tipoff is 7 p.m. and the game will be televised on Pac-12 Networks and broadcast on 770 AM KTHH.
The game is one of three Seattle U. will play from teams that are in so-called "major" conferences. Seattle U. has already played one — an 83-43 loss at Virginia on Nov. 17. The other comes Dec. 13 when the Redhawks host Washington at KeyArena.
The Redhawks fell down early at Virginia and could never recover, suffering what is their only loss so far. Seattle U. is 2-1, having beaten Montana State and Pacific Lutheran at home, the latter a 58-49 victory last Wednesday.
Dollar said the experience of the Virginia trip and then having come back to beat PLU should have his team better prepared for the visit to Stanford.
"We are still in the process of feeling out who we are and what we need to do to be successful in conference," he said. "But for sure, it's always a litmus test to see where you are at going on the road. And this is probably more of a litmus test of how we will fare this time after getting the first one out of the way and then going and playing arguably a better team, and to see how we handle that."
Dollar says he's been pleased with the team's defense and rebounding but that "we're still kind of finding our way offensively, not only shooting but just turnovers. A lot of that is probably the combination of new sets and new offense and guys getting comfortable in that transition of stepping up and being counted on to score more, especially early in the season."
Indeed, one of the big questions for Seattle U. this year was how it would replace the production of Aaron Broussard, who led the team in scoring last year at 18.2 points per game.
Junior Clarence Trent is the leading scorer through three games at 12.3 followed by redshirt freshman forward Deshaun Sunderhaus at 10.7. The Redhawks, though, are shooting just 37.2 percent from the field and 32.8 percent on three-pointers.
After the trip to Stanford, Seattle U. returns home for a game against Boise State at 2 p.m. Sunday at KeyArena.

T. Boone Pickens Delivers Gordon Grand Lecture at Yale SOM
As a child, T. Boone Pickens had a paper route with 28 subscribers. He had a great record collecting payment from his customers, and quickly built up to 156 subscribers. He expanded his route not by signing up new readers, but by absorbing the routes around him that came open and had suffered from bad collections. In essence, he built his route not through sales, but acquisitions. "Is this guy telling me this is the way he went into the takeover business?" he said to an audience at Yale SOM on March 24. He then answered his own question: "Sort of."
Pickens, who delivered this year's Gordon Grand Lecture, used the anecdote as an entry point to his career, which has taken the 82-year-old from geologist to oil wildcatter to corporate raider, and more recently, crusader for natural gas. Over the course of an hour, he spoke to the audience about his proposals for reforming corporate governance and the Pickens Plan, a blueprint for energy independence that focuses on using the United States' abundant natural gas resources to wean the country from foreign oil.
Throughout, he chatted with Dean Sharon Oster, who began the conversation by asking what has motivated him all these years. "I've always been interested in making money," Pickens said. "That's it."
One of the next questions Oster asked Pickens was about his proposals for reforming corporate governance. He prefaced his answer by remarking that over the years, he has benefitted from the poor governance of many companies. "If things are not going so hot, I take advantage," he said. "There's nothing easier to do than follow bad management." He added that the current structure of corporate boards poorly serves both the companies and their stockholders. Currently, management chooses the vast majority of corporate directors, creating a situation where the boards' incentives are more likely to align with the CEO than shareholders. Pickens proposes forcing prospective directors, who must hold stock in the company, to submit résumés to a head-hunting outfit, which produces a list of qualified candidates for shareholders to elect. This, he said, would insure that the directors would not be beholden to management and be more likely to make decisions in the best interest of the business itself. Pickens, who has been on many boards, said he's seen directors chosen for all kinds of reasons having nothing to do with business acumen, such as being a great duck hunter. "Honestly, some have been picked for that," he said. "We need to upgrade corporate America and get the board of directors working for the stockholders."
Over the last several years, it's been the Pickens Plan that has garnered Pickens the most attention. In 2008, he ran commercials urging people and politicians to get behind his prescription for weaning the U.S. from foreign oil. At his lecture, Pickens said that he sees this as a security issue. "We need to use our own resources. Why be dependent on people who don't like you?"
In early April, Pickens expects legislation to be introduced in Congress inspired by the Pickens Plan. The idea is to start converting the 18 million 18-wheelers in the country from diesel to natural gas. He said that the U.S. possesses so much natural gas that in terms of its oil equivalent, the country has three times as much as Saudi Arabia has oil. Tapping that gas, he said, would give the U.S. a voice at the global energy table. "With that we could pull up to the table and scoot them over," he said.
There is greater urgency now to do something than ever before, Pickens said. He predicted that as early as the end of this year, the world could reach the point where oil supply is no longer capable of keeping up with demand. If that happens, he expects the price of oil to soar. He doesn't see natural gas as the long-term answer to this problem, but a bridge while the country develops other energy sources. "There is a saying that the best day to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and if you didn't, the second-best day is today," he said. "We need a plan. We're the only country without one."

FIPS 14-2 certification, STIG approval opening DoD doors
Apple's iPhones, iPads and other devices running iOS 6 or higher are officially cleared for use on the US government's secure networks, the Department of Defence announced on Friday. The final approval, which we first reported on in March, also grants Samsung Android devices that are running the Korean company's Knox security lockdown, as well as BlackBerry devices running BB10 the ability to be used on secure networks. The move is expected to further hurt BlackBerry, as it faces competition in the military space for the first time.

Late Sunday morning, a passerby noticed a white vehicle on a dirt road off Highway 38 north of Angelus Oaks that matched the description of the one Forrett was last seen in after the shoot-out with a female deputy in the 11900 block of Second Street in Yucaipa.
The passerby called sheriff's officials and told investigators he noticed someone in the vehicle, according to a sheriff's news release.
After shutting down Highway 38 between Bryant and Jenks Lake roads, deputies cautiously approached the vehicle and found the man was dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Homicide detectives determined the man was indeed Forrett. Forrett had additional gunshot wounds on his body, they said. It was unclear if Forrett sustained those wounds in Friday's shoot-out.
An autopsy will be performed.

Courage Is Spelled A-S-T-R-OAn amazing story with a sad start still has one chapter to be written.
ANCHORAGE—Having covered a pet every week for some time now, I get to see a lot of dogs from all walks of life.
But when Brooke Taylor of Anchorage Animal Care and Control sent me photos of today's pet of the week, I knew I'd be meeting someone special. "This is Astro, and he's very special to us here at the center," Taylor said. "He was abandoned, and when he came to our attention, he was 24 pounds, which on him, he was almost skeletal. Within a couple weeks of just giving him some care and feeding, we were up to twice his weight, and now he's up to 62 pounds, which is probably pretty stable for him." Abandoned and abused, Astro was in a pretty bad way when he was discovered. "He was in a lot of danger," Taylor said. "Any dog that's showing that much bone protrusion, it's kind of a scary thing. He was strong enough that he was still standing and he was able to greet the officers that went in to get him." Therein lies the irony with Astro. Despite having every reason to not be a kind and loving dog, he'll surprise you. "Through all of that, he takes his treats gently, he has really polite manners and he loves everyone he greets," Taylor said. "So he's going to be a wonderful companion for someone." This four-year-old pit bull mix already knows "sit," and despite his newly found larger size, is gentle even when in play mode. But even with the happy ending to such a horrific beginning, there's still a chapter yet to be written in Astro's book. We all want to see Astro end up in a really good home. After all he's been through, he certainly deserves it. His adoption fee is $52 at Anchorage Animal Care and Control. Most Popular

Fragment of Unsent Letter
From ZeroWiki
The island has records of Dr. Kunihiko Asou's visit in the Meiji period. It seems he invented many things to communicate with the "Spirit World", but the extent of their effect is in doubt. Currently, Kunihiko Asou's inventions are regarded as pseudoscience and are not recognised at all.
I studied Dr. Asou's book which talks about the many masks of the island. It is an enquiry into the masks, erractic and fragmented, but daring and intriguing.
According to Dr. Asou's enquiry, the island's masks were made to affect the mind of the wearer. For example, when you look at the face of a smiling man, you become happy. It is human nature to adapt to what is seen. (Dr. Asou noted that emotions are shared by expressions.)
This island's masks, though exquisite, are not meant to control the emotions of people that are seen. He said that the moon represents the inner self, like one aspect of a person's mental state. A girl Dr. Asou saw, who had never played a flute before, began to play one after she put on a mask.
He also talked about the masks seemingly unconsciously stimulating areas of the brain and playing the role of recording memory. The story about how the masks store memories is interesting.
In a further enquiry, Dr. Asou shared his experiences with the masks (on something like a radio), which he wrote down.
The ultimate experience to share is the experience of death... but no point can be reached to which it can be sufficiently enjoyed.
Dr. Asou was inspired to make special parts and films for the Camera Obscura using the island's techniques and paints.
This Camera Obscura was put in the Asou Museum and it has such a presence in literature that I would truly love to see it.

Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway
State: Kentucky
Length: 71.2 mi / 114.6 km
Time to Allow: Approximately three hours
The Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway travels through six communities as it winds its way through the knobs of Kentucky. This corridor exhibits significant historic and cultural resources around every turn. It embraces a set of four strong aspects: Abraham Lincoln, US History and the Civil War, Bourbon Heritage, and Religious Heritage.
A great portrayal of American history and culture can be experienced along the Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway. Abraham Lincoln was born and raised near Hodgenville. When Lincoln was elected president and the Civil War began, Kentucky was one of the essential border states and the Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway played a significant role in the outcome of the Civil War.
Religion is also important along the byway. The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani is America's oldest Trappist Monastery and manifests the prominence of religion along the corridor.
Bourbon also plays a prominent role in byway history. The Bourbon Trail and its eight bourbon distilleries pass through the Lincoln Heritage Highway. Bourbon is known as America's official spirit and has a rich history and proud tradition along the corridor. The Bourbon Trail is a unique destination that entices visitors from around the globe.
The Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway represents an escape from the ordinary, a true symbolism of the adventure of the open road, and a snapshot of early American life.

City of Hope, a NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center

Screening It is very important to be examined for cervical changes before there are symptoms. Screening can help the doctor find abnormal cells before cancer develops. Finding and treating these abnormal cells can prevent most cervical cancer. Also, screening can help find cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be effective.
Today, screening has a powerful new component: the ability to test for the presence of HPV. This augments the Pap smear and other methods in early detection and disease prevention.
For the past several decades, the number of women diagnosed each year with cervical cancer has been decreasing. Doctors believe this is mainly because of the success of screening.
Pap smear Doctors recommend that women help reduce their risk of cervical cancer by having regular Pap tests. A Pap test (sometimes called Pap smear or cervical smear) is a simple test used to look at cervical cells. For most women, the test is not painful. A Pap test is done in a doctor's office or clinic during a pelvic exam. The doctor or nurse scrapes a small sample of cells from the cervix. A lab checks the cells on the slides under a microscope for abnormalities.
Pap tests can find cervical cancer or abnormal cells that can lead to cervical cancer. Doctors generally recommend that women:
Women should talk with their doctor about when they should begin having Pap tests, how frequently and when they can stop having them. This is especially important for women at higher-than-average risk of cervical cancer. Some activities can hide abnormal cells and affect Pap test results. Doctors suggest the following tips:
Doctors also suggest that a woman schedule her Pap test for a time that is 10 to 20 days after the first day of her menstrual period.
Most often, abnormal cells found by a Pap test are not cancerous. However, some abnormal conditions may develop into cancer over time:
HPV Test The HPV test is usually performed at the same time as a Pap smear, and analyzes the DNA of cervical cells for the presence of HPV. It is usually performed in women 30 or older.
A positive HPV test result only indicates the presence of the virus; it does not mean the woman has cervical cancer. A positive HPV test result signals a doctor to examine the Pap smear for any precancerous changes. A colposcopy and/or biopsy may then be ordered to detect abnormal cervical cells.

Now that you have the parts all squared away for your home-built Hackintosh PC running Mac OS X, it's time to perform the third and final magic step: installing OS X Snow Leopard and configuring it for maximum performance. In the final installment of our three-part guide, we'll walk you through just that. Home stretch!
For this guide we'll be focusing on the Core i7 950-based setup we've detailed in the previous installments. This is definitely the part of the process that involves the most step-by-step instructions, so rather than risk botching something in translation here I'm going to point you to the guides I used. But like before, we'll cover the basic concepts here first so you have some understanding of what's going on. It helps!
As you know by now, we'll be relying on the "iBoot+MultiBeast" method for Hackintoshing, brought to you by the fine folks at tonymacx86.com. The first half of this guide will be an annotated walk-through of Tonymac's main instruction set for MultiBeast, and in the latter half we'll be using this hardware-specific guide to configuring MultiBeast. So bookmark those two pages now.
As you may have gathered, this is a two-step process: First, we'll burn a custom boot CD intended to trick OS X into thinking your computer is an EFI-based machine ready for Snow Leopard. Then, after starting up your fresh OS X install with the help of your iBoot disc, we'll run MultiBeast to configure hardware and install a bootloader that will boot OS X (and any other OS) from your hard drive. Let's do this.
The first step is adjusting your BIOS settings to prepare for OS X. Assuming you're using a Gigabyte motherboard, you do this by following the instructions to enter BIOS setup immediately after turning your computer on (usually by pressing the Escape key). Then, it's just a matter of matching the configuration spelled out by Tonymac in the first step of his guide. Don't worry, you'll only have to deal with these scary screens once.
Following along with Tonymac's guide, the next step is to download the iBoot disc image and burn it with Disk Utility or something similar. Turn on your computer with this disc in the drive, and it should boot from it (if it doesn't, you can press F12 at startup on a Gigabyte board to manually select your boot disc). After some optical drive whirring, you'll soon see a screen like this:
OS X will go through its standard install process. If you're using an SSD like I recommend, feel free to take a moment now to marvel at how quickly the install takes place. Also, it's likely that the OS X install screen will look stretched and distorted while you install--don't worry, this is normal.
Once OS X is done installing, you'll restart and boot from your iBoot disc again. Now, on the Chimera bootloader screen, you should see an option for your fresh Snow Leopard install. Choose this and voila, hopefully OS X boots as you'd expect.
On my system, sound and ethernet were both working immediately, which is nice. Your display resolution may still look a little funky at this point, but that will be fixed once we enable full graphics card support with MultiBeast. Before doing that, follow Tonymac's instructions for downloading and manually applying the latest Snow Leopard update package (currently version 10.6.7). You want to run the MultiBeast app before running the upgrade, then do your MultiBeast install once the upgrade finishes without restarting your computer.
Think of MultiBeast as a package installer, not an app in its own right. What it does is let you pick and choose from an assortment of device drivers and enablers to install; you'll only need the ones that apply to your hardware. Most of what MultiBeast installs ends up in two folders: /System/Library/Extensions or /Extra/Extensions. It also comes with some handy utilities you may need, under the "OSx86 Software" heading--go ahead and install these too. And in addition to installing software, you can use MultiBeast to rebuild your kernel extension (kext) caches and repair your system permissions, which are both necessary whenever you add or remove a kext. These options are filed under "System Utilities." If you ever need to change anything, you can run MultiBeast again and choose only the new options you want to change--it doesn't remove anything from previous installs.
As I mentioned before, there is a guide on the tonymacx86.com forums with MultiBeast settings for our exact hardware build (the guide was originally written by MultiBeast's main developer MacMan, and has since been updated to accommodate changes in newer versions of MultiBeast by forum user notshy. Big thanks to these guys). The subsequent discussion thread is full of users with the exact same hardware, so it's a great resource for asking troubleshooting questions and reading up on others' experiences.
To install, first grab the correct DSDT file for your motherboard's firmware version (explained in more detail in part two of this guide) and copy it to the desktop. Then, it's just a matter of matching your MultiBeast checkboxes to the install guide:
With Hackintoshing, there's always a chance something might not go exactly according to plan. So if your machine doesn't work perfectly from the get-go, or little things like sleep aren't functioning the way you'd expect, take a deep breath and hit the tonymacx86 forums. Someone in there has almost certainly experienced something similar, and hopefully has shared a solution to their problem. Here are a few common troubleshooting pointers:
Installing Windows on your Hackintosh is as easy as slapping in a fresh hard drive in addition to your OS X disk and installing Windows on it. The Chimera bootloader should recognize it immediately, and you can use the Chimera startup screen to choose between booting OS X or Windows. It's great.
So, that's about it. I hope these guides were helpful and that some of you have been inspired to try your own Hackintosh system. Also, don't forget to check out part one and part two of our guide.
This is nice and all but what is the purpose of this?
I thought one of the attractions of macs was the design of the hardware, in my eyes this is just restricting a homebrew computer to select components all for the sake of an OS that doesn't add any real value to the typical user.But each to their own...
I agree... Why invest so much money buying components for a Hackintosh?
If you are building your own computer, you probably shouldn't be using Mac OSx.
@Xenthis: For some people, its just because they can and want to try it. For others it will be because they want or need a Mac and this is a cheaper option than buying a high-powered one. Most of the graphic designers that I have known wouldn't touch a PC with a 10' pole. This would be a good option for them, just not a good option for the people that buy them "cuz they're purty."
On the inside Apple hardware is nothing more than PC. A popular PC company we all know makes apple motherboards. Take of the fancy over priced, over designed case and what you have is a high end PC with a few custom tweaks to make it boot. Its not quite that simple but close. I've got 5 Macs running like this ( won't call them Hackintoshes, because its not a Hack, its a Mac. en every sense. ) Even built one for my retired parents to get them off the PC and they LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Its been 5 years now since I started doing this with PC hardware and I will never look back. I love OSX, but not apple's over priced plastic and aluminum cases.
Mbrd71, I've experienced that throughout my career and to be quite honest, the whole idea that Macs are better for graphic designers is utter hogwash. It only survives because people keep repeating it and the sort of peer-pressure that exists in the field. There is no actual advantage a Mac has over a Windows PC when it comes to graphic design. None whatsoever. Windows PCs can do everything a Mac can do just as accurately and then some.
It's just an example of unwarranted snobbery.
I find it fairly weird as well, since the main attraction of OSX over Windows or Linux is the fact that things tend to work without tweaking, and a person capable of putting the machine together in the first place is necessarily capable of doing said tweaking. I suppose that if I had to choose between OSX and Windows, I would use OSX, but still, the investment of time just to get a less attractive box for slightly less money seems a bit absurd.
I do see the appeal of taking it as a challenge, naturally, since it's something Apple is after all going out of its way to discourage, but it's still a bit silly.
@Moabyte: Well there was one main difference under the hood, the overpriced apple hardware has a RISC (reduced instruction set) processor at is core (another example would a Sun ultaSpark), while x86 chips are CISC (complex instruction set). Both processor types have their pros and cons, but the x86 architecture/instruction set really caught on with the pentium chips, hence the greatly reduced price. For some reason beyond my comprehension, Mac fanboys are still willing to shell out the big $$ to own one, (even though apple started including cheaper intel x86's back in 2006).

I have to say that these Hackintosh Diaries make it look like one needs to go out and buy special components to make it work and also seem far more complex than it actually is. This sort of perpetuates the myth that a Mac is something more than last years PC with a different operating system. Dual booting my Aldi special Medion with Windows 7 took less than an hour. The only issue was the sound card was not recognised. A cheap USB (from Hong Kong via eBay) sound card worked okay until my son found a way to make his sound work on his Dell laptop Hackintosh. I have not found anything that does not work as it should so far.
@Seasnake: If you are building a custom PC rather than buying a pre-built PC, buying the wrong component will lead to issues since there won't be the correct driver support for your hardware. Mac OS X is an OS on a PC just like Windows, but unlike Windows, it doesn't have as much driver support since Apple will only include drivers relevant to the hardware they use and as such aren't completely bug proof for non-Apple hardware. For example, those who opt for a GTX 460 for their video card have found that, while it works with Hackintosh, they experience an issue called the "Fermi Freeze" where the kernel panics when the card is idling and so have had to come up with inventive ways to keep the card from ever idling. This same issue isn't experienced by those using a GTX 480. Carefully selecting your hardware if you're building a Hackintosh is necessary if you're not that comfortable messing around with the kexts/drivers.
@Xenthis: Some of us grew up on Macs and just have a preference for the OS since we're intimately familiar with how it works :P
Your first arguemnt simply proves that Apple is just using PC hardware withc a much smaller HCL (hardware contro list)/
They are still using PC hardware.
And the arguement also shows that Apple collaborates with few hardware vendors - that is never a good thing. And to add insult to injury, the vendors it does work with, usually, make drivers for PCs that run much better. Their GPU as a good example.
The argument of growing up with macs doesnt hold water as its old Mac OS died a miserable death and they changed to OSX in 2001 - it was hella buggy until, I'd say, around 2005-2006. And since there is no general registry, alot of program writers have different styles of where to put things. Its a haphazzard OS that is fast but non collaborative. This again, is why it never took off from the start and never will gain much marketshare other than those who are sheep or hobbyists.
Choice. It's about choice. And after all these years of being told that it's about choice, mostly by Linux users, you still do not get it.
It's about your right to choose what kind of hardware you want to use. It's about your right to choose what OS and software you want to use on your hardware. It's about choice.
Is choice, and how it applies to computer hardware and software so complicated that you can not understand it? Is choice so foreign to you that you can not understand what it means?
Or is it that you have made the choice to let someone else tell you what you can and can not do with the hardware and software that you use, that you own? To let them dictate to you what you can and can not do with your computer.
It's about choice.
And this article, actually series of articles, is ment to help you make informed, educated choices. And that if you choose to use OS X on hardware other then the overpriced version that Apple forces on you. Then you can. And it's really not that hard to do.
It's about choice.
Make your own. And not let someone else make them for you.
@ katie saucey
ummm macs currently use the same intel CPU's as windows PC's. an Intel core 2 duo, i3/5/7, etc. in a Mac is the same as one in a dell, hp, etc. the OLD macs had RISC cpu's ( mainly motorola ) but that was long ago in computer terms. that is why windows can also run on a mac because the hardware is now the same. the same company makes the motherboards for both, called Foxconn. open a MAC... Foxconn motherboard with an intel cpu, open a dell... foxconn motherboard with an intel cpu. ram, graphics, hard drive. all the same. the case and software are about the only differences. i once used ram from a dell laptop to upgrade a macbook, OSX and windows are both x86 ( or x64 ) systems now.
* If you want to read my rant, read on. Here is the summary statement though: If you are at all interested in building a Hackintosh, please just go spend some time with people who actually do it. Do not put much or any weight on what people in this thread are (trying to) argue. This PopSci series was actually pretty good. Now head over to tonymac, etc.
- Why build one of these? Because I want to. Because I want a Mac Pro but cannot afford $2500-$4500 for one and would rather spend 1/4 to 1/2 of that for one that will run as well and probably better. Because it is fun.
- "Most people like Apple for their design so why build your own?" Those people don't have to build their own. "Most" people does not include "all" people. You would think this would be evident.
- "If you are building your own computer you probably shouldn't be using Mac OSX." Why not? Mac OSX is a great OS. I have built computers using Windows and Macs. What does the ability or desire to build a computer have to do with which OS one should use? I find that I use my Macs FAR more than my Windows PCs because (overall) I prefer the interface, the stability, the reliability and the fact that the 2007 iMac I am typing this on is only slightly less peppy today than it was when I bought it almost 5 years ago. I can't say that for ANY of my Windows PCs, built or purchased. Again, whether someone can build a PC has nothing to do with what OS they should run.
- Yes, Macs use computer parts. Of course they do! And yes, fewer of those components come ready with Mac drivers (to keep it simple). So what? If you don't like this, then move along. There is no doubt that a "pro" of building a Windows-based PC is the proliferation of parts available, but that is only one factor and one that must be weighted with many other factors. I am glad I have the freedom to choose to build a Mac even if I have a limited number of ready-working components to chose from.
That said, YES, it is very important to choose the right components. Anyone who says otherwise shows they do not know what they are talking about. Anyone who has spent considerable time working with Hackintoshes can attest to the fact that the wrong components will either not work at all or will lead to frustration down the line.
- Also, building a Hackintosh is not the same as dual-booting. I have no idea why someone would refer to dual-booting while trying to argue that component selection is not that important.
Most of the arguments against the Hackintosh on here are fallacious or ignorant or both. Frankly, while slightly dated now, this was a great article for someone wanting to build their first Hackintosh. As for the haters on here, they have done nothing more than prove that stupid fanboyishesque-argumentation and logic is not limited to those annoying Mac Fanboys.
The incredible innovations, like drone swarms and perpetual flight, bringing aviation into the world of tomorrow. Plus: today's greatest sci-fi writers predict the future, the science behind the summer's biggest blockbusters, a Doctor Who-themed DIY 'bot, the organs you can do without, and much more.

New York police say a college employee inadvertently photographed himself planting a motion-activated camera in a women's locker room at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
They tell local media that 56-year-old Thomas McMartin, of Hoosick Falls, was arrested Friday and pleaded not guilty to felony charges of unlawful surveillance and burglary. McMartin declined to comment.
The college says he was fired from his job as a heating and cooling supervisor and barred from the upstate New York campus soon after the camera was found.

Focus on Youthing: A Hypnotic Approach to Anti-Aging | Bee Epstein-Shepherd, Ph.D.
This week we FOCUS ON YOUTHING: A HYPNOTIC APPROACH TO ANTI-AGING™ a revolutionary program that will help you look, feel and be younger. The program reduces stress (the fastest-ager) and motivates behaviors that are characteristic of youthful energetic people. It is actually possible to slow down the aging process using hypnotic techniques.
The INTRODUCTORY EVENING PROGRAM gives you the opportunity to learn about the positive power of hypnosis. Hypnosis is the fastest and most effective way to produce positive change by eliminating negative habits, reducing fears and phobias, and as a weight control tool. It is also used as a complement to traditional medicine, easing surgery, speeding healing, and reducing pain. Now hypnosis can help you look, feel and be younger. You will learn how and why it works as an anti-aging tool. The combination lecture and demonstration will help you understand hypnosis and to have the experience of a brief hypnotic induction with positive suggestions. It is recommended that you attend this session to get the most out of the rest of the hypnosis programs.
Research shows that hypnosis when combined with a weight control program increases the success rate by 96%. And those who add hypnosis to their weight control efforts are 146% more effective in keeping weight off long term. Participants will be hypnotized to achieve and maintain their ideal weight and keep up the healthy habits that promote well-being and youthfulness.
You will be amazed at how quickly you can de-stress with hypnosis. In a matter of minutes you can be relaxed, calm and free of muscle tension. This allows the mind and body to refresh itself and regenerate with sleep. When you have less stress and enjoy better sleep you will slow down the physiological aging process. In this session you will experience total stress relief and learn to recreate this condition at home.
Learn a simple self-hypnotic technique that is flexible enough to use when focusing on youthing, physical health, and to use to achieve other any of your other goals-both personal and/or professional. Just for fun—how about a hypnotic face life??
Bee Epstein-Shepherd, Ph.D. has helped people attain personal and professional excellence since 1975. She is now in her "retirement career" as a hypnotherapist practicing performance psychology. Since 1985 she has impacted more than 250.000 people in over 450 cities internationally by teaching self-management and peak performance. She has 10 years experience teaching management and business psychology courses at the college level and consulting for major corporations. She is author of "Stress First Aid for the Working Woman," "How to Create Balance at Work, At Home, In Your Life," "Free Yourself From Diets," "Mental Management for Great Golf: How to Control Your Thoughts and Play Out of Your Mind" and "Building Champions, A Guide for Parents of Junior Golfers." Between 1996 and 2006 she was mental skills coach to some of the world's best golfers. In 2008 she published a CD program Youthing™, a Hypnotic Approach to Anti-Aging, a revolutionary program designed to slow the aging process. She presents customized Youthing workshops and also hypnotizes individuals to reduce stress, improve memory, overcome sleeplessness, conquer fears, control weight and negative behaviors. She is certified by the American Institute of Hypnosis, The National Guild of Hypnotists, The Time Line Therapy Association, and as a Medical Hypnotherapy Specialist. She is listed in several Who's Who publications including Who's Who of American Women and Who's Who in the World.

The Hidden Dimension of Human Communication | Peter A. Glaser and Susan R. Glaser
Peter A. Glaser, Ph.D. and Susan R. Glaser, Ph.D. received their doctorates in Communication from the Pennsylvania State University. Authors of the internationally acclaimed book, Be Quiet, Be Heard: The Paradox of Persuasion, they have been married business partners and co-presenters for 39 years. Drs. Glaser have published three books and more than 40 research articles. Their research on transforming organizational culture has received the International Association of Business Communication Research Foundation Award for bridging communication theory and practice. Feature stories have been written about them in Business Week, Nation's Business, National Business Review, Working Woman, Success Magazine, and the Washington Post. The Glasers joined the faculty of the University of Oregon in 1975. Active consultants since then, their work has taken them around the world working with leaders from Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Weyerhaeuser, Tektronix, Hyundai, and Sony Corporation. They spend February in New Zealand working with leaders from both the private and public sectors. They have worked with federal, state, and local government leaders throughout the US, Canada, and the U.K., including their ongoing work with the US Congress. The Glasers now offer research-based multi-media learning materials, including an on-line learning system. Their latest book, Be Quiet, Be Heard: The Paradox of Persuasion, is in its fifth printing and now available as an audiobook. Learn more about the Glasers by visiting www.theglasers.com and www.facebook.com/glasers.
Their lecture series at Rancho La Puerta includes four programs that are based on the Glaser's international award winning research:
1. The Hidden Dimension of Human Communication
A world of communication lurks below the surface of our awareness. When
we are in conflict, this hidden dimension often catapults us into confusion
and emotion, thwarting creative resolution and action. This presentation
reveals these veiled dangers that can shake the very core of our intimate
connections and offers a productive alternative.
2. Quality Listening in High Stress Situations
When interpersonal pressure is on, listening is the first casualty. When
dialogue turns to criticism, we often revert to nonproductive response
modes which block communication even when it contains segments of truth
vital to problem resolution and personal growth. This session
provides a 5-step model for transforming defensiveness and blame into
insight and agreement. A couple's trust increases when each
person feels heard and understood.
3. Raising Delicate Issues
Why is it that our partner too often feels defensive when we try
our best to provide them with helpful insights? How can it be
that we torpedo our own efforts when trying to convey suggestions which
we are convinced can improve our partner's behavior and our relationship?
This presentation provides a four-step model for raising issues which
renders remarkable results: solving the problem and strengthening
the relationship without generating a negative reaction.
4. Perceptions and Reality
How do we create meaning from our perceptual world? Why is it
that we can be so wrong even when we are certain that we are reading
our partner with complete accuracy? This program reveals the fragility
of our perceptual processes and provides a productive alternative which
allows us to clarify assumptions even when our partner is quiet or confusing. A
4-step model is presented to clarify perceptions while enhancing understanding
and trust.
Bullying in our Relationships: Parenting, Marriage and More | Carol Smaldino
The Bully and the Brain Freeze: When Being Smart isn't Enough
"Why did I stay for so long?"; "Just leave him!"; "I can't believe such a smart person could act so stupid"; "I thought I was being mindful and it led me nowhere."
These are quotes that could be from most of us or our friends about any kind of relationship. The mystery lies in there being parts of us which are vulnerable, human, ready to be hurt or seduced or fooled no matter how smart we are. Getting to know the clues, and getting and giving the compassion to regain dignity and choice is no easy deal, but it's central to so many of our lives.
There is no exit without awareness, leverage, and strategy. This stuff applies to the more serious issues of cult involvement and exits, and also to the less dramatic (on the surface) issues of seduction into subtle but powerful states of mind control.
Much of the advice we get can sound Zen in tone but leaves us flat when we are at home and the messiness of emotions gets the better of us. The advice is too often given in the ceilings of our lives where frequently enough, our real life encounters are in the basements or what can feel like the dungeons!
Making mistakes is easy enough without awareness, but with! is another story. Tolerating mistakes gets tough when most of us have greater expectations than we even realize, even impossible ones. Learning from the depths and allowing for the mixed emotions of ambivalence, sadness, disappointment and temper, is a hallmark of sanity.
Relationships, especially parenting, are often filled with power tactics and power struggles. Power either creates relationships of fear and domination or becomes a series of ragged places of resentment and ongoing hurt and spite. Here are the whys and some of the hows to use relationship as structure, and very importantly a focus on the difficulties of going from a power base to one that emphasized connection. Much easier said than done, but it is doable and freeing with supports and tools. And it's exciting and adds to resilience in other relationships as well.
Comedy wakes us up, lets us commiserate and complain, and often can lighten our load in a tough moment or afterwards.
Letting ourselves get in touch with the mischief of the child inside and the change makers of our time, letting ourself say what is to us the complete un-obliterated truth about the complexities of living, can be as freeing as anything else. Shall we laugh? Not a requirement...
Carol Smaldino is a certified social worker who has been in private practice for over 25 years. Before her Masters degree, she worked for the Bureau of Child Welfare with unmarried mothers for 3 years. She also worked at Roosevelt Hospital for a year and a summer as part of both the Child and Youth Project (mostly with non-English speaking Hispanic families) and the Emergency Room as a summer social worker.
After attending the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, connected with Yeshiva University, she worked for five years in a residential treatment center with very disturbed children, adolescents, families, and—as she came to realize— a truly "batty" administration. After a few years of doing therapy and supervision for a mental health clinic, she went out into the world of private practice.
Carol is known for her creativity, honesty, humor and deep sensitivity to her patients and to those who seek her help. She is known also for her ability and willingness to challenge them in their growth, and her willingness to challenge herself in the process. Carol has told almost everyone she knows that her patients are among her favorite people because they for the most part are or become open to their own (and her own) intense and unembellished honesty.
Amazing Oceans of Life | Mark Hixon
Dr. Mark Hixon will present the following four programs:
Explore the beautiful and bizarre creatures that inhabit our seas, from tropical coral reefs to the deep abyss, with a leading expert. Dr. Mark Hixon uses stunning photographs, vivid video clips, and entertaining dialog to bring the undersea world indoors.
CORAL REEFS: Rainforests and Canaries of the Seas
Explore the greatest concentration of life on the Earth including the life of corals, the amazing biodiversity of reefs, how coral reefs benefit humans, and how humans are threatening the very existence of reefs.
ABYSS: Bizarre Creatures of the Deep Sea
Explore the dark recesses of the oceans, inhabited by creatures that look like characters from science fiction movies. Much of this presentation will be accompanied by video taken from deep sea submersibles.
Listen and discuss how the seas have suffered from human activities, especially bottom trawling and ocean warming and acidification. Dr. Mark Hixon will focus on how the invisibility of the seas and the myth of their inexhaustibility have led to environmental problems that require each of us to become better ocean stewards.
Mark Hixon is the Hsiao Endowed Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Hawai'i. His research expertise is the ecology of coastal oceans, including kelp forests and coral reefs, which he has studied in many locations around the globe, as well as adjacent deep-sea ecosystems. A National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, Fulbright Senior Scholar, and associate editor of multiple scientific journals, Mark was honored in 2004 by the Institute for Scientific Information Citation Index as the most cited author on coral-reef ecology in the Northern and Western Hemispheres. He is past chair of both the Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee (for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and the Ocean Sciences Advisory Committee (for the U.S. National Science Foundation). His on-line TED talks and TV appearances about sea life are both informative and entertaining.
