Add More Fruit to Your Raspberry Pi!
Since this month was our Raspberry Pi issue, I did some research on "what folks do with their Raspberry Pi". I sent queries out via Twitter, Facebook, the Linux Journal Web site and even the #linuxjournal IRC room. When it comes to doing extra-geeky projects with the RPi, every person I spoke with mentioned buying parts from Adafruit.
Anybody familiar with Raspberry Pi development most likely has done business with Adafruit. I had the pleasure of speaking with Limor Fried, owner of Adafruit Industries regarding its most popular products. Although I was expecting the most common Raspberry Pi-related sales to be cases or SD cards, as it happens, the list of most-popular products was much geekier!
Figure 1. The Raspberry Pi can be a building block to nerdery! (Photo from www.adafruit.com.)
While the low-profile microSD card adapter is popular, Limor told me the breakout boards and breadboard PCB kits are the most-popular items. This news both surprised and fascinated me. Although I've certainly done some cool things with RPi, the notion that folks have been doing elaborate and complex projects based on the Raspberry Pi is awesome! (A special thanks to Limor at Adafruit for talking to me about what folks are doing with their Raspberry Pi devices.)

I'm not surprised that
I'm not surprised that breadboards are so popular. You really need one to get the most out of owning a Raspberry Pi. I used an Ada Fruit Cobbler to connect my Pi to a breadboard. http://raspberrywebserver.com/gpio/connecting-gpio-to-a-breadboard.html

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

May 17, 2011Game looks absolutely fantastic. Dialogue is immersive and well written. m_stannard is a gelatinous, buttperturbed jackass who is super mad DA2 sucked dick.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011Outstanding, extraordinary and awesom game. The best i have ever play. The Witcher 2 is the Assasin of kings like Blizzard or EA :) You will play it sooner or later, believe me.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011Great game with a great storyline, amaizing graphics, interesting characters, good combat.
one of the best RPG games i have ever played.
screw DA 2 that game is not even worth to download its the worst pile of sh..t i have ever played and stop lowering the ratings u bioware pricks -
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011They should remove that rating from that incompetent gamer!!! It is impossible to give a game like this a 0!!! Thats like saying that barbie performed better than this awesome title!!! This game will definitely be nomintated for goty!!! Perfection is all I can say!!!
May 17, 2011A deep and engrossing role-playing experience. Makes use of skills in conversations and has engaging dialogue and choices and consequences. This may very well be GOTY 2011.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011One of the best games I've ever played. Bioware should beware of the mighty Witcher. The well narrated non-linear story, beautiful music and breathtaking graphics are the strongest aspects of The Witcher 2. There is just nothing more to tell
May 17, 2011Its definitely one of the best games i have ever played. Complex and mature story, fantastic fighting system, beautiful graphics ... this game simply have it all. Game of the year for me
May 17, 2011Absolutely awesome game. CDPR have outdone themselves with this one.
One of the most beautiful looking games I've played. This game beats the pants off everything else in it's class. -
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011that m_stannard guy is definitely a loser and probably a bioware developer if u look at his other reviews... I pity him so much that I cannot describe it in words. this game is totally awesome in every way.
May 17, 2011The Witcher 2 is definitely game of the year, at this moment. Almost every aspect of this game was polished... masterpiece. When you play it, you just feel it. Stunning graphic, voice acting, level design... I just need to find 'evil side' of this game... atm - i can't.
It's definitely fresh breath, for nowadays RPG's.
I bow before you, CDP Red. -
May 17, 2011
May 18, 2011What an amazing game cdproject bring to us. The best rpg of a decade, i cant understand how people can vote to this with zero, go out trolls, this game dont deserve that.
May 17, 2011One of the best games I've ever played. Stunning graphics, running so smoothly on my PC, beautiful locations, amazing storyline, great characters... Honestly, I love this game.

May 17, 2011Finally a great RPG with: mature content, no paying DLCs, and a way to get the game with no DRM (on gog.com). The game itself rules so far, awesome graphics, convincing story, interesting quests and background, incredible music, I love this game !
May 17, 2011You wonâ
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011CD Projekt Red has done it. They have renewed my faith in game developers. The Witcher 2 is the most immersive and masterfully crafted GAME, yet alone RPG I have laid my hands on. It is with great pleasure that I am allowed to give this company money. They deserve every cent.
May 17, 2011THE GAME IS AMAZING !! The atmosphere, The combat and The Story are just perfect ! I didn't expect for to much of this game, It was also gifted to me but wow it blowed me away ! Just buy it you dont need to know anything else
May 17, 2011An AMAZING game. Challenging, beautiful, adult, and engaging. Everything about the game, from the swordplay to the dialog is brilliantly crafted. Add in the fact that it is DRM free off of GOG, and you have a game that is set to bring an overwhelming positive change to gaming as a whole. Well done CD Projekt!
May 17, 2011To all bloatware dlcware employees that gave zero to this game, u are so pathetic that hurts, really pathetic
GTFO cry in shame and learn how to make a proper rpg -
May 18, 2011
May 17, 2011Normally this is where I would write out a long review telling you about a videogame, however I am left speechless, this is one of the best sequels I have ever played.
This game is amazing, from the combat, to the story, humor, and most of all the improved combat.
This is THE game of 2011.
Witcher fans having something to be happy about, after 4 long years. -

May 24, 2011
May 17, 2011GOTY 2011 candidate, at least unless Diablo 3 shows up this year. An awesome RPG game, just like the first part - compared to Dragon Age 2 it wins pretty much in nearly every aspect (the exception being higher system requirements). It also helps if you are familiar with The Witcher Saga by A. Sapkowski.
May 17, 2011Game looks absolutely fantastic. Dialogue is immersive and well written. m_stannard is a gelatinous, buttperturbed jackass who is super mad DA2 sucked dick.
May 17, 2011This is what Bioware failed to deliver, a true RPG experience. If you can't get the job done, others do it for you and take your money. In your face BIOWARE.
May 17, 2011Do not pay any attention to those stupid negative scores, it's simply Bio Ware Meta bombing this fantastic game. Game of the year for me by a country mile. Superb visuals, storyline, dialogue. Great combat and questing is fun. If you are an RPG fan there is simply no way you shouldn't play this. Get it, get it now.
May 17, 2011
Jul 14, 2012As good as RPG games get PERIOD. Anyone who says otherwise either has a sub-par rig or is a severely butt-hurt Biodrone.
Also, it actually pushes tech. REAL gamers who invest in their hobby can look to TW2 to fully utilize their superior hardware. -

May 24, 2011
May 17, 2011Love this game. Much better than the first on so many level. Mr Stannard, say hello to your Bioware co-workers for me, next time spend more time making a good game and less time trying to bash the competition. No game is worth 0/10, not even shovelware. Like DA2.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011A refreshingly complex and deeply engaging RPG that blows its recent competition clean out of the water. Proves that beautiful visuals and ambitious scope in no way preclude depth of content, attention to detail or complex storytelling in an RPG.
It's not without its flaws, but they're very minor flaws in what is in all other ways a masterful example of the best the genre has to offer. Superb. -

May 17, 2011The best RPG I've played since Baldurs Gate 2, I can literally not even talk about the sheer quality of this game. Everything is so refined, so perfected.
They did a splendid job with everything in this game. GOTY This century. -
May 17, 2011
Jun 13, 2011An absolute triumph of challenging gameplay and mature non-linear RPGs. To say that it crushes Dragon Age II is an understatement. This is a game you need to have in your collection if you even remotely enjoy RPGs.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011The best game what I've ever played! If you like RPG, you must buy it! I don't know why fanboys of DA2 are rating this epic game down. Someday CD Project will be great company!!! :)
May 18, 2011Excellent Game. Excellent RPG.
PC Power Hungry RPG too.
Graphics, Atmosphere, Ambiance..
Improvement over the original in nearly all aspects: graphics, gameplay, combat.. Refined and tuned.. Surpasses the good first sequel..
So many things to do and so many places to explore.
Geralt is charming too. You play an interesting character.
People take notes. This is how PC Gaming should be. -
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011The Witcher 2 : Assassins of Kings is one of the best Action role - playing game ever made by human being. Ladies and gentlemen, here is a candidate for a game of the year.
May 17, 2011The people that have rated this game a zero are just idiots there is no way this game is a zero its a ten out of ten simply stunning and when the patches and might i add free DLC arrives it will be even better DA2 is nothing compared to this everything about the witcher screams quality from the graphics down to the game play this is how games should be made well done CD Project.
May 18, 2011Got to love all trolls, with names like "Bioware" trying to lower this score. This game's biggest flaw is the technical side of things, which they are working out, much of that is user error. This a great game, don't let the bioware love crowd, try hate on this. Because there precious DA2 didn't deliver. Enjoy this great game people!
May 17, 2011This game is really amazing, can we please not have people naming themselves from my favorite developer company (BioWare) and making the company look bad. Most likely you are not in the company and if you were a gamer there is no way a game like this would be rated with a 0. Give an honest review, both of them have only given 1-3 reviews overall.
May 17, 2011Absolutely thoroughly enjoyable game. Huge improvement over the first game. The DRM-free (GOG.com!), free DLC, absolutely brilliant game. Get it if you can.
May 17, 2011Best RPG since Mass Effect 2 but graphically the best looking game I've ever seen really worth the money even tho TW2 only costs 23£!!! Epic deal get it !!!!
May 17, 2011Created this account just to counter M_stanndard, a EA/Bioware employee. While I have only played the Witcher 2 for a couple of hours, I can already tell it is at least a 7 on 10 BARE MINIMUM. Therefore, I am giving it a 10, since mr Stanndard's 0 and my 10 will still only average to a 5, which is way lower than what the game deserve.
May 17, 2011The Witcher 2 is definitely a pretender for game of the year 2011. Everything in the game is wonderful - nonlinear plot, great characters, compelling story with intrigue in the background. Next important thing is how much CD Projekt Red love players - game is DRM-free and all DLC will be free. With CD Projekt Red it's great to be a pc gamer.
May 17, 2011
May 17, 2011Definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Amazing story, compelling characters, incredible graphics and great battle mechanics. Congratulations CD Project RED - You've done great job making most immersing RPG ever.
May 17, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
May 17, 2011This is one of the best RPG of 2011 year. DA2 was terrible, ME3 can be better, but is coming in 2012. Beautiful graphics, lots of important decisions - this is how you make games. Bioware should learn from CDProjekt RED and make DA3 somewhat like The Witcher 2. But beware, the combat system is quite demanding and casuals can have some problems with it, even on easy.
May 22, 2011Immersion, quality writing, mature choices that DO matter and the very best graphics seen on any video game to date. I could go on but I don't really think there's any need for me to. If you feel for quality RPG's even in the slightest, you will get this and spend a million happy hours lost in Temeria.

May 17, 2011*No crappy DRM
*Free DLCs
*No "item" nonsense that comes with preorders and childish games played to get orders.
*Actual content
*Digital Collector's Edition for 45 U.S. dollars compared to other games that charge $60+
On top of all that this is a great game. I wouldn't call it GOTY yet because there are many great games coming out in 2011, but it should be up there in the running. -

Sep 7, 2011The Witcher 2 offers awesome sword fights, cool graphics, charming characters, a compelling story, lots of bare skin and a decent shot of vulgar conversations. Damn good.

But with Smith tumbling out of Thursday's first round, the Mountaineers missed out on their first-ever draft with a pair of first-round selections.
Still, after Smith re-wrote the record books at WVU, he now holds the distinction of being the school's highest draft pick at quarterback. Smith went No. 39, besting the No. 44 overall selections of Pat White (2009) and Oliver Luck (1982).
Former WVU receiver Stedman Bailey followed Smith as a second-day pick: No. 92 overall to the Rams. It's the fifth time in school history - and first time since 2000 - the Mountaineers have had three picks in the first three rounds.
* * *
AUSTIN MISSED Robert Griffin III by one Big 12 season, but they're linked through the NFL Draft.
Last March, the Redskins surrendered four draft picks to the Rams in order to jump four spots and select Griffin No. 2 overall.
The Rams' surplus of picks, which included the Redskins' first-round pick in this year's draft, helped them do what the Redskins did a year earlier: move up to snag their man.
The Rams gave up four picks to move up eight spots - from No. 16 - to get Austin.
* * *
FORMER MARSHALL and South Charleston High School star Aaron Dobson became the ninth Thundering Herd football player to go in the top 60 picks.
The New England Patriots took him No. 59 overall in Friday's second round.
Dobson is the sixth Herd receiver to be drafted, joining Darius Watts (2004, No. 54), James Williams (2000, No. 175), Randy Moss (1998, No. 21), Troy Brown (1993, No. 198) and Mike Barber (1989, No. 112).
* * *
DOBSON'S SELECTION ended a long drought here in the hills.
He is the first West Virginia prep player to be drafted into the NFL since Darrion Scott (Capital, No. 88 overall) and Quincy Wilson (Weir, No. 219) - both in 2004.
There were 2,129 players drafted in between Wilson and Dobson.

Iowa G Ingram to transfer
Tuesday - 5/14/2013, 1:01pm  ET
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa guard Patrick Ingram plans to transfer after just one season with the Hawkeyes.
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says Ingram, a native of Indianapolis, has been granted a release from his scholarship after indicating he wants to play closer to home.
Ingram fell behind fellow freshmen Mike Gesell and Anthony Clemmons in a crowded backcourt last season. Gesell and Clemmons both cracked the starting lineup, while Ingram averaged less than a point a game in 19 appearances.
The Hawkeyes will also add incoming freshman guard Peter Jok, Iowa's Mr. Basketball in 2013.

Monday Matters: Acts of Faith by Iyanla VanzantPosted: Mon 10/01/2012 02:04 PM
I have been so busy taping more episodes for Iyanla: Fix My Life that
I am going to share yet another excerpt from one of my books, Acts of Faith
as today's Monday Matters. This book is my homework assignment that I
am sharing with the world. It represents all that I have learned about
and grown through. I believe it has affected so many people so deeply
because they are in the same life classroom in which I once sat. People
want to give me the credit, but I know the success of Acts of Faith
has nothing to do with me. It is the result of so many people being
willing to attend life's school. It is the outgrowth of so many of us
being willing to learn and to find a better way of living. It is an
answer to the silent prayer so many of us have uttered: "Oh God, please
help me!" Acts of Faith has been an anchor, a rock and a guide to so many people because God always answers our prayers. Jose Chavez Checks InPosted: Wed 09/26/2012 10:35 AM
Beloveds, I hope you'll take a minute out of your day to read this and focus on just how important you are and the lives you are changing. Because of you, truths are told, sins are forgiven and desperation is changing to triumph. Please stop, for just a minute and let that sink in. It's all because of you and your support for our show, Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network that this is happening! I have just received a letter from Jose Chavez. You might remember him from last weekend's episode where we visited his family after his Mother had confessed that his Father wasn't who he thought he was. Read what is happening Beloveds, because of YOU and your support for this life-changing work on TV! ♥ ~ -------------------------- I just want to thank you guys for the amazing job you did with my family's story. I can only imagine how tough it is to fit everything in with only an hour to work with. I have received hundreds of emails, not to mention messages on Facebook, from others around the country going through this experience, and each person has thanked me for putting my story out there. I have mothers telling me that they now have the strength to tell their children the truth. I have sons and daughters telling me they are willing to forgive their parents, and listen to what they have to say. I have kids telling me they don't feel ashamed to seek their fathers out, with hopes of starting some sort of relationship. I have even been asked to speak to some teenagers, who have been told the truth, and are not dealing with it very well. It's a beautiful thing! Truth is, you guys gave me the platform... this could have been done by anybody going through this, but I thank you for giving me a shot. I felt so lonely (and I am sure my mother would tell you the same) for such a long time, because I felt like I was the only one going through it. Well, I am not... not by a long shot. Now, because of Iyanla, Oprah, and the amazing staff you guys have put together, others wont feel that loneliness anymore. My family may not be "fixed" or perfect, but we are definitely headed in that direction. Time and communication will help us heal. Please pass this along to Terry, Iyanla, Oprah, and everyone involved in this project. I truly don't have enough words to show my gratitude towards everyone involved. It's amazing to see how much one can grow up when a spiritual person, like Iyanla, opens your mind up. I hope I can continue to help kids, who are in my shoes, deal with their emotions after life changing news are presented to them... and I have you guys to thank for it. If I can come out of that tunnel and live a happy life, so can anyone else :) Have an amazing week, and if you guys ever need anything from me, let me know. I am all yours. Jose Chavez |

A significant amount of work still needs to be done by fund management firms in advance of the implementation of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) on 1 January 2013, according to the findings of a report by KPMG.

William A. Lucas is participating in the design, collection and analysis of data to gain a better understanding of the processes of education development of engineering leadership for the Gordon program, and the related evaluation of the Project Centered Learning freshman courses and other programs at MIT. He is also engaged in the assessment of the Kauffman Campus Initiative, studying a $25 million effort to transform university campus cultures to support entrepreneurship; and conducting evaluation research for the University of Edinburgh to inform education program design and national policies that are fostering the emergence of new, high technology companies in informatics to strengthen the Scottish economy.
Much of his current research began while he was first Deputy Director, and then Executive Director, of the Cambridge — MIT Institute, a $140 million, eight year partnership between the University of Cambridge and MIT, bringing together leading researchers at Cambridge University and MIT, and launching new educational programs. While CMI was closed in 2008, he continues his work with the Education and High Growth (EHGI) group in Britain, conducting research on the cognitive processes of nascent entrepreneurship, formal models of self-efficacy and career intention in engineering and entrepreneurship. He is also continuing his research on technology management including the identification of best practices for companies contracting for university research.
Dr. Lucas began his career as Assistant Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and then Director of the Political Science Program at the U.S. National Science Foundation. He joined The Rand Corporation to conduct research on the effectiveness of various Federal programs and applications of new communications systems, and later led a four year field experiment using two-way. interactive cable television to offer education programs.
He was then appointed Associate Administrator of the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration, serving as senior Federal official for communications applications in the public sector. His programs included the most successful minority enterprise program in the Administration, doubling the number of minority-owned broadcasting outlets, and he chaired an Inter-Agency Committee that worked with the Appalachian Regional Commission and NASA to use an experimental communications satellite to provide educational programming to that region. That initiative with further support became The Learning Channel, carrying educational programming to 50 million U.S. homes at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer.
In the private sector he has been an executive in three venture capital start-ups and a management acquisition and turn-around of a telecommunications equipment company. In his last company, he was the founder and president of a start-up firm offering e-mail directory services and products. He left industry to be Visiting Professor of Public Administration and Management at George Washington University, before he joined MIT as Executive Director of the International Center for Research on the Management of Technology in the Sloan School of Management.
He holds a B.S. in physics from N.C. State University and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His primary teaching fields are the management of innovation and applied research methods in the social sciences.

Pinterest is Fun, But There Are Privacy Risks
Article by Vic HargraveFiled under: Friends and Family,Privacy,Social Media,Social Networking,Tips and Tricks | RSS 2.0 | 3 Comments |
Pinterest is the relatively new kid on the block that is taking the social media world by storm. If you haven't heard of it or tried it out, Pinterest is a social networking service that lets you upload and pin pictures to your own online picture boards. It's like a pictorial Twitter where all your pins are visible to users in a public timeline stream of photos.
You can re-pin pictures you find on Pinterest, or anywhere else on the web with the right browser plugin. You can follow and be followed by other users if you fancy their pins or they fancy yours. You can also comment on pins wherever you find them so you can discuss pictures with others.
Check out the Fearless Web Pinterest page at pinterest.com/fearlessweb:
I have to confess that I've been really caught up in the Pinterest phenomenon. For the past couple of weeks I've been pinning pictures of a few of my favorite things in the areas of music, movies, and humor. Pinterest is just flat out fun. I love seeing the new images that come down the wire. It's like looking at a new photo album every time you go to the Pinterest website.
But on the flip side of all this Pinteresting stuff – the company's even got me talking like them – Pinterest is all about public exposure. If you are not careful you can really sacrifice your privacy and damage your reputation using this service.
Be Careful What You Pin
Let me state this simply and clearly, there are no privacy controls supported by Pinterest, period. Like Twitter everything you pin is seen by everybody, not just your followers. There are no controls you can use to limit the visibility of what you pin or comment on like there are on Facebook and Google+. And like Twitter, once your pictures and comments go online, there's no taking them back.
The easiest way to avoid torching your privacy or just embarrassing yourself online is to really think twice about any picture or comment you want to post. Following these guidelines, which seem like common sense to me, should keep you out of trouble on Pinterest:
- Don't post any pictures that you wouldn't feel comfortable showing to anyone including your parents, kids or co-workers (that includes your boss) in person. It's easy to get carried away with pictures. Stuff you'd only be willing to show to your closest friends, you probably don't want everybody to see. So stop and think before you pin. If you feel comfortable showing anyone a given picture in person and are reasonably sure they wouldn't be offended, then you are probably OK going online with it.
- Similarly don't add any comments to pins that you wouldn't be able to say to anyone in person. Your intentions may not be to insult or alienate somebody with your comments, but things can be taken out of context. Basically if you don't have something nice or informative to say then don't say anything at all.
- Don't reveal your current location online, particularly if you are away from home. Trust me, nobody really cares where you are every 10 minutes of the day, with the possible exception of thieves who might be interested in breaking into your house when they find out you are not there. Save your posts for pictures when you are on a truly great vacation that people might actually enjoy looking at. And don't use Pinterest for this, stick to Facebook, Google+ and other services where you stand a reasonable chance of limiting the circulation of these photos and the information that you are out of town.
- Parents, help your kids your with these suggestions and let them know what you consider to be material appropriate to put online. Kids are kids, as they say, and don't always realize the ramifications of what they do, particularly if it seems like harmless good fun. But what they share online can be harmful to them and to others. Take a look at my blog 10 Social Networking Tips for Parents to get other ideas for helping your kids use social networking responsibly.
Are You Pinterested?
So far I haven't seen anything particularly outrageous on Pinterest. But maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough. I'm interested to find out if any of you Fearless Web readers have seen Pinsanity – it's easy to get carried away with the company's name – that makes you shake your head in surprise or disgust. Let us know by commenting on this blog, our Facebook page or dropping us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I work for Trend Micro and opinions expressed here are my own.

This is a great article. It's the common sense I've been saying for years. Too many people live out their lives online and don't give it a second thought what they say or post. I, personally, haven't joined Pinterest yet because I think FB and Twitter is enough to keep up with. Real life is so much more pINTERSTING. |
Vic Hargrave:Thursday, 22. March 2012 at 8:40 pm |
Thanks for the kind words about the article. To me Pinterest is more of a hobby site, which is all the more reason to be careful with it. However it is a growing source of click throughs to other sites so it is becoming a social networking forum that businesses don't want to ignore. |

Playboy plans to bare it all anew in March with a Web subscription service that offers the full catalog of the venerable men's magazine.
The news was revealed yesterday by none other than the magazine's famed founder and bon vivant, Hugh Hefner, though it turns out that Hef's tease was a bit astray off the mark. In his Twitter feed, Hefner declared that all issues of Playboy, past and present, would be coming to the iPad--and that they'd be uncensored to boot.

text: Though the awareness of biotechnology has been low in Nepal but some government institutes and private sector labs have tried to make some in inroads in this sector. The Nepalese government would be setting up a national biotechnology R&D center as the country is predominantly an agriculture nation. The country would be conducting research in the areas of agriculture which includes genetic technologies and tissue culture for selecting and breed improved crop varieties and for conserving the biodiversity of the country. The first biotechnology lab was started in Nepal in 1976 and in 1986 a private laboratory came up. It is expected that development in the filed of biotechnology in Nepal could help it in controlling poverty and preserving its rich biodiversity.

We men have been given short shrift by the fashionistas who dictate office fashion.
Why is it that women can wear skirts which barely conceal their buttocks while men who work indoors are forced to cover thighs, knees and shins? It is bare-legged hypocrisy.
The long and the short of this issue is that men should be allowed to wear shorts to work.

I've spent the last few weeks and even months discussing this topic.
I've also spent a considerable amount of time discussing the position with various people within the college football industry, that means some of the best and brightest doing this very thing today at other institutions.
I've also discussed this topic with members of the Texas athletic department.
Texas is moving into a new realm on many levels with this hire.
Here's what I am told that Texas wants from the position - the order is irrelevant because they want it all:
* Early identification of recruits; thorough evaluation of recruits across multiple recruiting classes
* Improved camps; both attendance of recruits across various classes and increased value obtained from them
* Improved communication tools used by coaches with recruits (think Skype/FaceTime)
I am also told that you can expect Texas to have different people responsible for different aspects of the recruiting/camp program and some of them will roll up to the director of player personnel.
Here's the bottom line:
I think Mack Brown made the first right move today. He's got it started.
Now, how does he keep it going, who does he add to his staff that helps with identification, what about camps and how does the personnel director integrate successfully with his coaching staff? Those are key questions that remain to be answered.
I am told multiple members of the staff discussed this hire with Brown and that Brown and the staff came to a consensus on what they wanted out of the position.
Again, this is the start. I think the Horns took a step forward today.
mcb0703 said...
Bobby - do you expect Mack to bring others from outside of the state, or start filling the staff with in-state connections? Meaning, do you see somebody from AZ or Cali on the staff that may have connections out west?
& then possibly someone to cover each of HOU, DFW, West Texas, etc?

Bobby, will these new hires' input for a given recruit cease once the LOI is signed or will they also play a role in player development? I still feel that Texas has had good luck bringing in quality talent but has not been as successful in the player development. We need to fill this gap.

Kurt Warner: 'Very, very difficult' to gauge quarterbacks
"I could not do anything for you; I've been sitting on the couch doing nothing for three years," Warner told ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike Friday. "Although people remember me on the football field I know I couldn't do any of that right now."
Warner, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network, threw for 8,336 yards and 56 touchdowns over his final two years with the Cardinals. He led the Cardinals to a pair of NFC West titles as well as Super Bowl XLIII in his final two seasons as a player.
He retired in January of 2010, though, and the team has struggled mightily to replace him ever since.
Matt Leinart, Derek Anderson, Max Hall, Rich Bartel, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley have all gotten an opportunity to be "the guy", but none have succeeded in the role.
Arizona's failed quest to find a quarterback has led to struggles on the field. The Cardinals, who went 24-18 with Warner as a starter under head coach Ken Whisenhunt, boasted one of the NFL's best offenses with him under center. Since he's left the team, the Cardinals have gone just 17-26.
"That's why it's so difficult to replace top quarterbacks when you expect a certain type of play," Warner said. "We've seen it around the league, when Hall of Fame quarterbacks leave it's very difficult to find that next guy.
"I think one of the reasons is because the expectation is always so high."
The team's struggles to replace Warner underscore the challenge a team has in finding a quality passer. The Cardinals have added options through free agency, the draft and trade, but have yet to find an answer.
"It's a very, very difficult position to gauge before you see somebody behind center in a football game," he said. "You can take a guy in a practice or you can evaluate a guy going into the draft and think you're getting something, and when you put him behind center and put him in some different situations they react completely different than what you expected."

Dynamic Graphics and Personalization
Last month, we discussed the different ways a CGI program can create dynamically generated graphics output. That is, we wrote several programs in which the program describes its output not as "text/html", but as "graphics/gif".
This month, we will examine some more tools that allow us to create graphics dynamically. However, the graphics will have an additional twist this time, in that they will reflect an individual user's stock portfolio rather than a global set of data values.
As with any non-trivial software project, our first step must be to create a brief specification. In this particular project, we will have two major programs. In the first, the user will be able to create and edit a personal profile, describing the securities he or she owns. The second program will take the information in the user's profile and use it to create a personalized graphic stock portfolio.
This project brings together a number of tools we have discussed in previous installments of ATF. Nevertheless, it seems like a good idea for us to review them, since we are going to call on so many.
MySQL: MySQL is a small, inexpensive relational database available for Linux and many other operating systems. (See "Resources" for information on where to get it.) In addition to its low price, MySQL is quite fast and efficient, which makes it popular on many web sites. As a relational database, MySQL forces us to store information in one or more tables, in which each row refers to a separate record. As with most relational databases, we communicate with MySQL using SQL, a database query language. We cannot write programs in SQL; rather, we must embed our queries inside of a program written in a full programming language. In our case, that language is Perl.
DBI: While SQL might be a standard query language for communicating with databases, the software and libraries used to speak with those databases vary considerably. To talk to an Oracle server, you need Oracle libraries; to talk to a MySQL server, you need MySQL libraries, and so forth. As a result, the Perl database world was fractured for a long time, with special versions for individual databases.
Now, however, there is a better way: the DBI module standardized the API to relational databases, meaning that programmers moving from one database server to another have to learn only the different nuances of the SQL implementations. Previously, they had to learn a separate Perl API as well, which was frustrating. This was accomplished by separating the database code into two parts, one generic (DBI) and the other specific to each server (DBD). In order to use DBI, you will need to install the generic DBI libraries, and then one or more DBDs appropriate for the products you use.
There is a problem with DBI and the Web, however, which has to do with the way in which database servers were designed. In general, they expect a client program to open a connection, perform many queries, then disconnect. Opening a connection is thus quite slow and inefficient. When a CGI program is a database client, it must open a new database connection for each HTTP transaction. See the mod_perl section immediately below for one solution to this problem, Apache::DBI.
mod_perl for Apache: Web servers traditionally provided custom and dynamic output by invoking external programs, using the CGI standard. An HTTP server would pass information to the CGI program, which would then be expected to send its output to the user's browser. This output generally came in the form of HTML-formatted text, but as we saw last month, it is possible to produce graphics as well.
However, CGI is quite slow; every invocation of a CGI program requires a new process to be created. If you are using Perl, each invocation requires the program to be compiled into Perl's internal format, then executed.
An alternative method is to use mod_perl, a module for the free Apache HTTP server that embeds a fully working version of Perl inside the server. This has several ramifications, one of which being the fact that we can now create custom output without having to rely on external programs.
When using mod_perl, you can take advantage of a module known as Apache::DBI. This module pretends to work the same as DBI, but actually caches database handles ($dbh) across invocations. So even when your program thinks it is opening a new database connection, it is actually reusing a database handle from a previous invocation.
GIFgraph: The GIFgraph set of Perl modules allows us to create charts and graphs on the fly, from within CGI programs or mod_perl modules. We explored a basic use of GIFgraph last month. As its name implies, GIFgraph produces output in GIF format. Last month, we saw how to return GIFs directly to the user's browser. This month, we will instead save the resulting graphs to individual files, to which we will create hyperlinks.
Apache::Session: HTTP, the protocol on which the Web is based, was designed to be lightweight and simple. As part of this consideration, it was also designed to be "stateless", meaning each transaction is independent. This creates a problem, however, in that you will often want to keep track of which user is which. For instance, in this application, we want to ensure we are tracking the correct user's portfolio. Without state, we cannot track portfolios at all, let alone for multiple users. Apache::Session, as we will see below, allows us to get around this by using a database and HTTP cookies to store one or more pieces of information using a unique identifier.
With the above five technologies, we can create a fairly impressive stock portfolio tracker that allows users to define which securities they own and view their current holdings in graphical format. As presented this month, the application is admittedly a bit crude, but it should show you how easy it is to write such an application and how flexible the above tools can be in creating one.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

After waiting over a month for my fingerprints to be cleared I finally decided to call them to see what was going on. Two phone calls later I discover that my prints are not in the system, despite paying $115.00 and having no criminal convictions, a trip to HQ was needed. Here's the last 90 seconds of my delightful experience at the DoE HQ. | |
DoE: | So... Let me explain this to you slowly. |
Elfie: | *nods* |
DoE: | There was nothing wrong with your prints, they weren't lost or anything. |
Elfie: | Uh huh. |
DoE: | The issue was that our system simply got confused because your SSN started with an 8. |
Elfie: | *worried, thinking that it might have to do with my status in the US* So... I can't be fingerprinted? |
DoE: | Oh no! It's just that most people's SSN starts with zeros, or a lower number, and our system has never had someone with a SSN starting at such a high number so it didn't register. |
Elfie: | *is your system a freaking two year old?* So now what? |
DoE: | We are slowly updating the system but we will register you in manually. |
Elfie: | Thanks. |
Come on DoE! It's 2012, we're 12 years past Y2K, get your act together! |

Reviva Labs Light Skin Peel -- 1.5 oz
Love this stuff
I love this stuff. It does what it should, it works!
It sloughs off the flaky skin and leaves a tightened fresh
June 14, 2013
Up to now I haven't "met" a Reviva product that I haven't loved - although I'm ticked off that my VERY fav. product has been discontinued - was I the only one that LOVED it??!! Tried this peel just a few mins. ago for the first time and although used only once I can really tell the difference between other peels I've tried. I can feel a real tightening of the skin which on mature skin is a good thing. I thought maybe it was too drying, but after applying moisturizer my skin is definitely brighter, feels like a baby's you know what and I feel like I've had a face lift!
June 2, 2013
Love It!!
I just love this peel. It leaves your face feeling so clean and soft.
March 19, 2013
Brightest skin ever
I have used this product off and on for years. Just bought another jar recently and treated myself to a treatment recently and decided to submit my review.
The product does say that after the first time you use this product you can tell a difference in your skin and I am writing to say this is very true! I like to use once per week, especially in the winter and summer months to slough off that dead, dry skin....it also is very very gentle and not a harsh scrub. Such a nice treat for yourself, an in home salon type treatment for little cost!
February 20, 2013
Very Effective Peel
I really like this peel. My face feels soft and smooth; there is no burning or tight feeling while the peel is drying. Drying time is about 3 minutes, rub it off, and you're done!! Will buy this item again.

I seem to remember not too far back when Beilein was considerered a denfensive coach and not an offensive coach. Now that he's has predominantly offensive talent there seems to have been a flip. I don't buy it. Trey is great on both ends of the court and most probably will be gone next year. RG3 and Hardaway are both great offensive talents but sometimes seemed lost on defense and they need to improve. I think it would be in both of their best interests to return for another year, but Hardaway will most likely leave too. Defense is a team effort and it doesn't take more than a player or two off their game for things to break down.

Non-governmental organisations, legal counsellors, lawyers or others who wish to support trafficked persons in claiming compensation often find themselves in situations where knowledge and expertise is insufficient in order for them to properly support their clients. This is not surprising, given the fact that awareness regarding the issue of compensation for trafficked persons has only recently manifested into the international anti-trafficking debate and the number of cases where compensation has been successfully claimed in Europe remains limited.This Guidance on representing trafficked persons in compensation claims provides lawyers, counselling centres and other service providers information on the rights and needs of trafficked persons, the ways of claiming compensation for both material and non material damages, a detailed overview of the international legislation and includes a simple 5-Step Model for claiming compensation for trafficked persons.

Also, have you heard about Hill City, Kansas, lately? It's where I'm from and for the past 5 days straight, it has been the hot spot in the NATION with temps around 115. Hill City is an hour east of here and we have been downright cool over here in the west, topping out at 114 or lower. Ha! I hope it's cooler where you are.
Stay cool!
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

Olympus Pen E-P2 review
The 12.3-megapixel Pen E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera offers some worthwhile improvements over its E-P1 predecessor while retaining the same classic looks. It's more expensive than a similarly specified digital SLR, but there's no denying that the quality of its movies and photos is great Read more

Venetia Boehmer-Plotz's Testimonial
Class of 2011
"After completing my graduate research on Aboriginal fisheries in post-Confederation British Columbia with Dr. Maureen Lux, I began the bijuridical civil and common law program at McGill University in fall 2011. The program is demanding, allowing me to maintain my commitment to academic excellence while honing the oral and written communication skills and efficient research strategies that I acquired through the graduate program at Brock. The experience I gained balancing graduate course work, independent research, and community involvement has prepared me for both academic and professional success in law school. I have excelled in my roles as a Pro Bono legal intern at a Native women's shelter, as a research assistant studying reconciliation jurisprudence, and as a senior journal editor. I am grateful for the confidence and sense of initiative that I gained through the seminar program and through the strong faculty-student support that is unique to Brock's graduate program."
Venetia went on to pursue a Law degree at McGill after completing her MA in History at Brock University. She was a summer law student at Bennett Jones LLP in Calgary, Alberta and will be articling with Bennett Jones LLP in 2014.
