Black Friday Linux Netbook Specials
Update: I discovered some nice Linux netbooks last year while writing this article, Black Friday 2010 is all about Linux-based tablets and that's what I'm shopping for. Check out my latest post Black Friday 2010 Tablet Deals. I've listed my favorite tablets launching on or close to Black Friday along with their specs and price tag.
Every year in the US, the Friday after Thanksgiving shoppers get up early and squeeze into stores everywhere to save a few bucks on holiday purchases. While saving money on new Linux Netbooks appeals to most Linux geeks, crowds of people and checkout lines often do not. Here's two options for the geek who wants to get in and get out while still getting a great deal on a new Linux Netbook or laptop.
First of all, if you don't need to buy a laptop or Netbook with Linux pre-installed you can find a large selection of Black Friday Netbook specials over at ZDNet. Many of these make excellent candidates for installing lightweight distros like Xubuntu, Puppy, and Vector after you purchase them. My personal favorite is the Acer Aspire One Netbook with a 10'1″ screen, 1GB RAM, and a 160GB hard drive for $149 in Office Max stores the morning of November 27th.
If you're looking to find a discounted Netbook with Linux installed your best bet may be the Dell Vostro A90 Netbook which has been released as the "The Ideal Mobile Business Internet Companion" providing an excellent solution for lightweight computing on the go. Best of all this Dell Netbook comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 8.04.
If it's Linux training you're after, we will have site wide discounts on various types of Linux desktop and server training materials will be available at BeginLinux.com throughout the week of November 22nd, 2010. (Black Friday) Linux training specials and discount codes will be launched from the @beginlinux Twitter account.
Anyone else find any hot Linux Netbook deals being rolled out? Please comment.

Ubuntu ShipIt Program Thinking Smarter
The Ubuntu ShipIt Program. If you're not familiar with it, you've probably never typed in "free Ubuntu CD" on Google or any other search engine. ShipIt is the Ubuntu service that gives away free Ubuntu installation CDs in an effort to make sure people have few restrictions obtaining Ubuntu. ShipIt has been a huge success shipping millions of free Ubuntu CDs over the past few years. The CDs are not free for Canonical, the company backing Ubuntu and the ShipIt program. This has caused Ubuntu to deploy some interesting techniques designed to cut the cost or need or the Free Ubuntu installation CDs.
Limiting Free Ubuntu CDs for people who:
-Can upgrade to the new release without a CD
-Can download their own CD for free
Ubuntu users can also:
-Download the CD wallet artwork
-Become an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, making them eligible for more CDs
-Purchase CDs
More on this at Jono Bacon's blog
Requesting a free CD from the Ubuntu ShipIt program will take at least 4-6 weeks. For a more dependable solution order Ubuntu on CD or USB US Priority Mail now. Ubuntu training is available in video and course form.
Community Question: Teaching Linux Newbies
The Linux training question of the day today was: "What's the best way to teach a Linux newbie?" We received a great response from our Facebook and Twitter friends and followers and wanted to post these ideas on our blog so that others may be inspired to share Linux more effectively.
@5h3r4t4n said "You got deleted everything you know about windows, thats the difficult part, after that everything gonna be Easy, read, read.."
@allan1850 said "I would say sit them in front of the system and let them play"
@parinsharma said "Telling him about it the FOSS and after he/she gets interested just start them telling about shell scripting and GUI Compiz etc."
@airurando said "Patience, small steps, introduce them to what they would find useful first."
@juanfer1 said "I think with some series of screencasts tutorials"
@vargas7 said "Begin with Ubuntu and a comparison of the common windows functionalities and where they can be found in Linux"
@jamesswinyard said "Sit down with them, let them play, then let them ask questions as they find things."
Keep them coming and we'll continue to post them here. You may use the comments for below to answer "What's the best way to teach a Linux newbie?".
Ubuntu 9.10 Software Store Video
I've posted a short video walk-through of the new Ubuntu 9.10 Software Center. The Software Center will replace Add/Remove applications in the final release of Ubuntu 9.10.
Inside the Ubuntu Software Center users will see Get Free Software and Installed Software options. If Get Free Software is selected users can choose from packages broken down into categories or departments for ease of use. A filter field is also available in the top right corner. After packages are selected details about the package and expandable screenshots for each package is shown. This is in my opinion on of the biggest advantages of the Software Center over Add/Remove applications setup. If Installed Software is selected from the column on the left users will see an alphabetical list of software packages installed. Selecting a package wil result in details, screenshot and a button to remove the package.
After packages have been either added or removed the In Progress selection appears along with Get Free Software and Installed Software options on the left. With In Progress selected on the left users can see the current status of packages whether they are downloading, being installed or removed. I was skeptical of the Software Center at first but it does have some bright spots that, I think, make it worth the change. What do you think? Ubuntu Software Center or Add/Remove Applications.

There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.
Exactly. The most he'll be traded for is a 1st this year and a 1st the next, and I'd do that in a heartbeat.

No guns for mentally unstable cops
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Police Commissioner Owen Ellington has Commanding Officers to disarm cops under their supervision who display signs of mental or emotional instability.
Speaking in this week's force orders Ellington said those cops should not be allowed to carry service weapons or their licensed firearms.
"This procedure should be applied in instances where the member(s) has/have a history or strong suspicion of mental instability; alcoholism; substance abuse; intemperate habits; tendency to be quarrelsome and/or abusive; spousal or family abuse; protracted domestic or family-based dispute; making threatening and menacing utterances or action without lawful justification; failing to attend counseling and therapeutic sessions when referred and failing to respond positively within a reasonable time to counseling or therapeutic sessions supervised by the Medical Services and/or Chaplaincy Branches etc," he said.
Ellington said the measure is intended to protect families, colleagues and members of the public from tragic occurrences.
He ordered Commanding Officers to ensure that a review mechanism is established to examine each case before dis-arming or re-arming cops.
"With immediate effect staff meetings at all levels must elevate the agenda item of Staff Welfare to that of 'priority' for discussion and action. There should be no delay in responding to welfare issues, either by way of action at the level reported or referral to a higher level," he said.
Cops who show signs of mental or emotional instability can receive counseling and other services from the constabulary's Chaplaincy Service, the Medical Services Branch, Human Resource Branch, Welfare Section of Community Safety and Security Branch, Personnel Division and Staff Associations.
"Commanding Officers are to have regular consultations with the Medical Service and Chaplaincy Branches and make referrals to these entities on a timely basis. Members who are dis-armed and referred to the Medical and Chaplaincy Services Branches are to be accompanied by a senior along with a report prepared by the members' Commanding Officer for the guidance of the personnel at the Medical Services and Chaplaincy Branches," he said.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy...: Year of the Dragon: "This Is The First Album To Ever Come Out For Free From Busta Rhymes"
Monday, Aug 20, 2012 12:05AM
[With his new Year of the Dragon album dropping tomorrow, Cash Money rap veteran Busta Rhymes gives SOHH readers five reasons to pick up his first-ever free solo LP.]
1. Back On My New Sh*t
The top five reasons starts off with this is my first album in three years. My last album came out in 2009, so there's a lot of sh*t that I've been able to experiment with over the last few years and that I've been able to cook up. That's the first reason.
2. Boom Boom
This is that good, traditional boom bap I think people miss for one and people are glad to have it back again.
3. All In The Gang
The third reason is because people appreciate when you're working. I think people really appreciate it when you have a good vibe with the people you collaborate with. I think one thing people realize is that I'm working with motherf*ckers that I'm actually friends with.
4. Free-99
The fourth reason is because this is the first album to ever come out for free from Busta Rhymes. This is my thank-you album. This is my album for the people that have been going with me for the last twenty years of my career. This is my gift to y'all. I really appreciate the love and support from throughout the years. This is to you.
5. The Definition
And then last but not least, it's a defining moment in the music because in addition to giving the people the traditional sh*t, that you know and love from Busta Rhymes, I'm always going to give you some new sh*t instead of the standard and it's defining the way sh*t is supposed to be out here. That's pretty much it.
You Decide. Will you pick up Busta Rhymes' Year of the Dragon album tomorrow?
Check out the new album by clicking here Tuesday, August 21st.

The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, ticking off one of their more important to-do items of the NFL free agency period. Whatever Mebane lacks in jaw dropping numbers, the two-year deal the Seahawks gave him suggest they saw his value beyond the stat sheet.
Mebane missed four games last season, but started the 12 in which he played. He also made just 31 tackles and registered one sack and will likely enter training camp as the starter once again. He'll likely be slotted in alongside Colin Cole, Red Bryant and Chris Clemons, a group that they will be counting on to improve upon last year's performance. The Seahawks ranked 27th in total defense, allowing 368.6 yards per game. They also allowed 25.4 points per game, the 25th best average in the league.
The Seahawks have also announced the re-signing of defensive tackle Junior Siavii and the signing of Alan Branch.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on USA Perpignan and matches between Wasps and Perpignan over the years.
London Wasps slid to defeat with a second disappointing performance in as many weeks in the second round of the Heineken Cup against USA Perpignan at the Stade Aime Giral on Sunday.
Though last week Wasps were able to cling on for a victory against a less tenacious side, Perpignan took an early lead, from where ferocious defence from the French and error-ridden attack from Wasps combined to allow the Frenchmen to celebrate a win at the final whistle.
Wasps were on the back foot from the kick off, when scrum half Nicolas Durand sent a kick bobbling to the corner that Paul Sackey was unable to deal with, handing the French forwards a five metre line out. Wasps repelled the initial catch and drive, and a further snipe for the line from Durand was contained by a great tackle from Joe Worsley, but a final drive around the fringe was too much for the Wasps defence as flanker Ovidiu Tonita drove over to touch down and give his side a dream start.
Jeremy Staunton got Wasps on the scoreboard not long after with a penalty to pull the score back to 7-3, but Steve Meyer pulled his side away again with his first penalty after a late challenge on Gavin Hume by Josh Lewsey, for which the Wasps man was lucky not to receive a yellow card.Wasps were already showing signs of the lack of rhythm that was to dog their game for the rest of the 80 minutes, but approaching the end of the first quarter had their best chance yet. Having created an overlap, Tom Voyce attempted a pass outside to Van Gisbergen, but Perpignan full back Julien Laharrague intercepted which what looked like a deliberate knock on, though referee Donal Courtney did not penalise the Frenchman for the offence.
A further exchange of penalties maintained the distance between the teams, but a late hit on Eoin Reddan as the game entered first half injury time, converted by Staunton, suggested that Wasps would turn around just four points behind at 13-9. However, referee Courtney found some more time on the clock, and after Tom Palmer crashed into Laharrague when going up to challenge for a high ball, the referee awarded another penalty to the French, whereupon Meyer restored the seven point deficit at the half way mark.
Josh Lewsey was forced from the pitch with a knee injury early in the second half, replace by Alex King, and with Ayoola Erinle already on for Van Gisbergen, who was groggy after a knock to the head received before half time, Staunton stepped in to full back whilst King took on the 10 role.
Wasps then enjoyed possibly their best spell of the game. Tom Voyce found a gap through the ten channel, coming from blind to open, and only Durand's diving tap tackle prevented him from racing to the line. Shortly after Fraser Waters galloped away on the counter attack, but as the cover defence forced him wide, the support was lacking and the attack fizzled out.
As the game entered the last ten minutes, referee Courtney showed Staunton a yellow card for a professional foul, which was harsh considering the lack of cards thus far in the contest, but Laharrague showed no clemency in slotting the penalty for a 19-9 lead.
However, Dallaglio's men fought on with spirit and threw all they had at Perpignan as the clock ticked down, the pressure leading to a fourth Wasps penalty, with which King making no mistake. Wasps continued to attack, though the handling was frantic rather than assured, and when the opportunity came in injury time - Wasps having created an overlap - the inevitable fumble put an end to their hopes.
On his side's performance, Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan said: "We made a lot of errors, which is very frustrating for us. We controlled 65 to 70 percent of the game and the way it was played, but we just kept making mistakes. It meant they didn't have to work too hard to get the ball.
"We're certainly still in it, though. Coming out of the pool is still doable, but we were hoping the first try after only two minutes wouldn't come back to haunt us, and it did. It was poor defending from the kick-off, and that was what made the difference in the end."
"We had a lot of chances in the last 10 minutes, but we just weren't able to put it away. All we needed was that one try to get back into the driving seat.
"I think we were a bit conservative early on in the game and we'd actually talked about being the opposite in the run-up to the match.
"It became clear that we weren't going to win the game, but coming away with the bonus point was very important."
Captain Lawrence Dallaglio said, 'We got off to the worst possible start, giving them seven points. At this level that was a fairly soft seven points, but it gave them some early confidence and ultimately that was the difference between the two sides.
'However, we failed to do the simple things right and dropped a lot of ball at times when we should have been putting them under a lot more pressure.
'The big positive though is that we've got a bonus point from the game'.
Referee: Donal Courtney (Ireland)

Undoubtedly one of the best beers ever made. Such complexity, flavor, boldness, and so much togetherness; this beer ranks right there with the Westvleterns and St. Bernardus Abt. 12's of the world.
The murky brown liquid pours into the brandy snifter with a turbulant and froathy pour. An airy, lightly tanned head shows sprinkles of yeast and spices. The beer settles with a half-inch head and laced well as the beer magically disappeared. Despite the rusty and sediment rich pour, the beer has a nice appearance.
Cotton candy sweetness hits the nose with a lot of fruitiness, spiciness, and with a chocolatey, vineous hint that keeps my head spinning. The nose promises complexity immediately.
Malty richness of barley sugars, caramels, and toffee set the tone. Quickly a toasty, chocolatey flavor accompanies the malts and a rich concoction of sweetness begins to emerge. Fruitiness of berries, grapes, dates, figs, plumbs, and apples quickly give a balance and needed variety to the sweet malt taste. A light hint of barrel aged woods make a minor impact later with mild tang and mustiness on the mouth. A confectionate and complex reward to the tongue.
Initial powder-sugar textures develop quickly into a well-malted, well-rounded beverage. Full and suculant textures allow the acidic fruit notes and light hop bitterness to settle the beer and calm the sweetness. Finishes with a dry, well-attenuated, airy finish. For such sweetness, the beer leaves very little residual sweetness on the mouth.
Certainly a desert beer, but not one that relies soley on sweetness. The beer continues to develop with each successive sip and as the beer warms. Remarkably easy to drink seeing how malt dominant the beer shows. A magical beer that defies modern brewing logic.

Pors a deep murky brown with a fluffy,sticky off white that sticks like glue to the glass,wow what amzing aromas what can I say perfect cinnamon spice and cherry,cakey with alcohol infusion,amazing.Where to start flavor wise cherry over top of a cinnamon clove-like spiciness almost like fruit cake.The alcohol presence is there in the finish but its a great little burn,goes down smoothly but with a full body.A classic for reason I have had this a few times but this is my first bottle to myself,I wouldnt share with anybody I admit it.Damn fine beer.

Dark brown with a huge foamy head. Very appetizing.
The taste was big and malty. The beer started dry with earthy and spicey notes (nutmeg, pepper & cinnamon) and then became more complex and flavorful with hints of chocolate, molasses, brown sugar and maybe even some plum & fig notes to it. I liken it to a big Tootsie-Roll in a bottle.
A very warm beer both in appearance and in taste. Complex. More refined and mature than Rochefort 8.
This was a great drinking experience. A true classic of the beer world!

4.8/5 rDev +6.4%
Appearance The body is very dark brown, cloudy to the extent that no light in my house can put a dent in the color. I controlled the head at the pour, but it was still big and left a filming layer on top of the ale.
Smell The sugars jump right out of the glass. The generous cane is the first one I caught. This was followed by crumbly brown and sandpaper raw. The heavenly fruits came next. The apricot led the way followed by overripe pears, Bing cherry juice, an orange wedge or two, a little banana, some figs, a piece of star fruit, and finally a quality red apple.
The alcohol notes and mature malt bring up the rear. This is a very complex bouquet.
Taste Man, is this good. The sweetness comes out in force at the tongue. It seems like a drop of vanilla has been added to give it even more smoothness. I thought the malt might wimp out at the taste, but it stays its ground (an amazing accomplishment).
Mouthfeel Very lightly carbonated and smooth, smooth, smooth. The alcohol calls attention to itself at some point, but after the first sip or two you just dont care.
Drinkability This defines creamy Belgian Ale. Its just beautiful to hold in the mouth and the flavors will keep you busy all night long. What a treat.
Update I have this occasionally and decided to re-review for 2004. I was able to pick up some tobacco at the nose to go along with all of the wonderful fruits. It seemed a little more boozy though then I remember so I shaved a half point off of the MF.

Awesome orange peal, anise candy chewy deliciousness wrapped in tidal waves of carbonation, furnaces of warmth, vanilla malts, extreme complexity, unparalleled drinkability considering the alcohol content, and bananas, tons and tons of bananas.
Rocking good beer. Im beyond thrilled to have a steady supply just one block from my place of business.

This is the Gabourey Sidibe of beers. It is dark, ugly, but it is surprisingly good. :-D
The appearance is interesting. It has a nice head, the color looks nice, but MAN look at all that sediment! I've never seen that much sediment in a beer. It is everywhere. I looked in the bottle and there is a ton that didn't make it into the beer glass. It would have been worse. The look is not appealing at all. I have no problem with sediment but this is on a whole 'nother level!
The taste is wonderful. It is a little boozy but it is 11.3% ABV. The flavor is mysterious. I saw another reviewer give a taste profile of "rum" and I'm totally getting that. There's a rum taste, dark fruit (raisin, cherry, prune), and malt. I love these sort of beers. The totally opposite of hoppy beer (YUCK!). No hop presence, just sweet maltiness. Delicious!

Very bold pour, producing a creamy off-tan head that retains well and leaves a little bit of lacing along the tulip glass. The color is a deep, dense, hazy brown color, very dark, almost with a gray-hue as well. The nose is very reminiscent of red wine, full of dark red grapes, figs, sweet brown sugar, burnt caramel, licorice, raisins, plums - so much going on here, it's quite wonderful. The taste is full of the same, with a slight alcohol warmth, grapes, plums, sweet malts and caramel, and just a touch of floral notes in the background. Heavy mouth and extremely creamy with a nice and welcomed carbonation bite.
It's easy to see why this beer is so popular. A great quad with a huge aroma and flavor complexity, nice alcohol warmth but masked well for 11.2%, making it very easy to drink. Truly a great brew here.

A: Dark brown with a 3 cm pale beige and creamy head that settles into a very nice layer of foam on top of the liquid.
S: A lice, layered and rich smell. Chocolate, coffee and rye bread. Vinous fruits and a pleasant spicy character. Some notes of alcohol.
T: Plenty of roasted flavors of coffee and toast. Very good taste of chocolate. Some wood and earth. A quite restrained fruitiness (plums, cherries, black currants). Quite a lot of warming alcohol in the finish. Some spices, hints of oak and vinous fruits rounds everything up. A very rich and sophisticated taste overall.
M: Full body, very smooth despite a slightly sticky texture. Very pleasant mouthfeel. Phenomenal.
D: A high-class beer for sure. Well balanced, rich and powerful.

Thanks to my brother for this kind Birthday gift!
Rochefort 10 appears slightly different out of the bottle than I was expecting. It is kind of a muddy river water dark brown, with deep mahogany and almost greenish hues when held close to light. The head is uniformly dense and dark beige, with tightly packed little bubbles scattered throughout. This head rose to about a finger and a half from a medium pour into my 23 oz. snifter. I cannot see through the body of the beast. Lacing left on the glass is dense and full of arches.
My first thought about the smell (other than a bit of confusion), was that it reminds me of my grandmother's mince meat pie. After a Google search of the ingredients of said pie, this made perfect sense. Certainly, I can smell fig, raisin, plum, and dark cherry, and these dark fruit aromas are supported by spicy smells of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. There is also a little bit of a peppery quality to the aroma, as well as toasty notes. Mainly I am impressed how these fruit and spice qualities meld seamlessly with a phenolic odor. It really is a very pointed and cogent smell that needs to be picked apart a bit to find individual characteristics. A fairly heavy alcoholic heat is also an important quality found in the smell, but it is not overpowering at all and adds to the quality of the bouquet. As the beer warms, the fruit and spice flavors emerge and the phenolic character takes a secondary position. Caramelized and brown sugar smells also come out as the beer comes closer to room temperature. Wow, this is a complex and heavy (think Marty McFly) combination of malt and Belgian yeast.
The flavor immediately break forth onto my palate with an earthy, yeasty, peppery flavor combination that transitions more toward dark fruits and sweet spices as it spends more time in my mouth. This reminds me a lot of a fine liquor... almost like the best rum ever made, but without the stinging alcoholic heat- only a lovely, warming contribution from the alcohol. Notes of caramelized brown sugar are a huge component of the taste and really play well off of the dark fruit flavors. The phenolic quality that I ascertain from the smell is fairly hidden in the flavor, and its place as a role player pushes the overall taste over the top. The finish is really quite sweet and brings the dark fruits, namely fig and raisin, to the forefront. However, more sips reveal that the finish is really a combination of the sweet dark fruits and spices and the reappearance of the the earthy, peppery yeast influence. This taste is extremely nuanced and has more components than I can possibly describe, so I will stop this long-winded rant now.
The mouthfeel is a journey through the nuance of this beer. It starts with a very forward earthy/spicy/semi-sweetness on the tip of my tongue, then disperses like an ocean wave over the rest of my palate as the thick sweetness of the malts kick in. The finish is slightly drying, yet the overpowering sweetness of the middle of the sip mingles with the earthy and peppery characteristics to provide an aftertaste that lingers until the next sip.
This is one amazing beer. The care and craftsmanship that must have gone into this recipe over time boggles my mind. There are so many subtleties that complement one another in a symbiotic manner. All that said, yes, I want this again, but it is not something that I could or would want to drink regularly. I think my brain would explode if I did. Lovely beer.

This bottle of goodness travelled all the way from southern Belgium, where it is brewed by one of the only Trappist Breweries in the world. Rochefort makes three Ales -- the 6, the 8, and the 10. I recently purchased a 10 at New Beer in Manhattan and aside from having sampled a large number of high powered Trappist ales in Antwerp over the summer, this is the most intense and amazing beer I've ever had, period. This is one of the few brews that I have had which are deserving of the "Life is Beautiful" tag. Whenever there's a beer that there's not much more to say about other than "if you haven't had this, you haven't had beer," I'll just tag it like that to keep it simple. Rochefort 10 is full of amazing flavor like dried fruits and other dark and mysterious things. There's a ton of alcohol at almost 11.5% ABV, and you can taste it. But it doesn't matter, because you're literally swimming in a full bodied, complex, ocean of a beer that is the very blueprint for hundreds of imitators. Seek Rochefort now and seek it often. Reviews of the 6 and 8 are forthcoming.

A- Poured into a Chimay goblet. Deep brown with maroon hues and a thin, almost non-exsistent tan head that actually retains nicely.
S-rich nose; caramel, raisin, amaretto, bread, and lactose.
T&M- Dried fruit, chocolate, brown sugar, and finishes dry with a firm alcohol presence. Full bodied with a lovely medium carbonation.
D- Considering the heartiness and strength of this beer, it is very easy to drink in small quanities. I love cool weather, it makes beers like this really shine.

330mL bottle poured into a Westmalle chalice. Bottle dated 270514 so this beer is 17 months old. Drank at the same time as a 6 and 8.
It pours a deep murky mahogany. A cappuccino colored head tops the beer and lingers throughout the whole drink.
The nose is mostly plum and alcohol. The alcohol isn't harsh but definatly present
Taste has some raisins, coupled with some sweet sweet malt. Classic Belgian yeast character, even though it finishes pretty dry it still seems sweet on the back end. A conundrium if there is one but it has happened in this beer. Alcohol is present as it warms from fridge temp but not too harsh as for me to downgrade it.
Absolutely great mouthfeel just what i want from a quad. Carbonation helps the drinkability a lot and for a beer of it's strength it's highly drinkable to the point where I can see myself getting in trouble if I had a few of these in a night.

When Durham County Manager Mike Ruffin retires at the end of January, he will leave behind a legacy of fiscal responsibility and capital improvements, county leaders say.
Ruffin told the Board of County Commissioners Monday night he plans to retire effective Jan. 31, 2014, so he and his wife can move to the Charlotte area to care for his aging in-laws.
We have a much healthier fund balance, said longtime County Commissioner Ellen Reckhow, and we are in definitely the strongest financial position weve been in in perhaps the countys history, and I know in my tenure, 25 years.
Board Chairman Fred Foster also praised Ruffin for putting the county on a sound fiscal footing, although the two didnt always see eye to eye in Fosters brief time on the board so far.
Foster cast the lone vote against the countys fiscal 2013-14 budget because of a 3-cent property tax rate increase Ruffin recommended.
I wish he didnt have to go, but family comes first, Foster said.
Foster said the search to replace Ruffin, which will be a challenge with Orange and Wake counties also searching for new managers, has already begun.
Its my hope that when (Ruffin) steps out the door, the new guy or gal will be able to step in, Foster said. If not, we have some good deputy managers.
Reckhow also expressed hope that six months will be ample time to find a new county manager in a national search and that it will not be necessary to appoint an interim manager.
I feel like Durham County should be a prime place for someone to want to come, Reckhow said. We have an excellent economy here. We have a great fiscal position. We are in a good situation. We are seeing not only new companies coming but existing companies decide to expand.
Reckhow also pointed out Ruffins record of getting capital improvements done on time and within budget, except for the Human Services Complex, which experienced some construction difficulties.
She pointed to the library system, where there was a need for many new facilities, including the first branch in eastern Durham County.
And Reckhow pointed to Ruffins role in getting the new courthouse built.
Its been a long haul, but were very proud of our new courthouse and we think its in an excellent location, Reckhow said.
Reckhow also praised Ruffins ability to hire good managers.
We have won over his tenure many national and state awards, and I think a lot of it is due to the excellent staff leadership we have within the organization, Reckhow said.
Ruffin also earned the acclaim of fellow county managers such as Orange Countys Frank Clifton, who announced in June his intention to resign effective in September.
You look at the facilities that have been built within the last few years, Clifton said. how the county has focused on economic development and working closely with the city on economic development efforts and just improving governmental services to the public, and doing so in a professional, efficient manner.
I think even those that might criticize a particular project would still have to recognize that the projects were done well and the outcomes were always things that enhanced governmental services for the citizens of Durham, Clifton said.
At Mondays meeting, Ruffin thanked in his letter all 13 county commissioners he has worked for during his 14-year tenure at Durham County government.
I want to personally thank each one of you and them for the privilege to serve a county that provides an example across the country of what a high-performing county can and should be, he said. Indeed, we are known nationally as an innovative, forward-thinking county government that provides high-quality services to our residents.
Before coming to Durham County in 2000, Ruffin held similar posts in the Atlanta, Charlotte, and the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area during a nearly 36-year span.

MP hails 'significant' arrest after Mosque attack murder
The Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood, Shabana Mahmood, said an arrest in connection with the murder of local pensioner Mohammed Saleem is a "significant step" towards "getting justice".
– Shabana Mahmood
I welcome the news that an arrest has been made in connection with the murder of Mr Saleem, a much-loved member of our community.
Although nothing can bring him back, the fact that a significant step has been taken towards getting justice for Mr Saleem will be a comfort to his family and the community in Small Heath.
It is shocking that Mr Saleem's brutal murder may have occurred as an act of terrorism - and it is vital that the community continues to support the police as they progress their investigations.

Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne's ex wife denies perverting course of justice
11:00am Friday 1st June 2012 in News
Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne's ex-wife today denied perverting the course of justice by taking a speeding penalty for her former husband.
Vicky Pryce pleaded not guilty at Southwark Crown Court today, where she appeared alongside the former energy seretary for a plea and case management hearing.
It is alleged that Huhne persuaded Pryce to take his penalty points for a speeding offence almost a decade ago.
Huhne, who remains the Lib Dem MP for Eastleigh in Hampshire, stood down from Cabinet to fight the charge that he wrongly claimed his wife was driving his car.
Huhne, from Dutton Lane, Eastleigh, and Pryce, from Crescent Grove, Clapham, south London, did not make eye contact with each other during the hearing.
Pryce, who was listed in court by her Greek forename Vasiliki, wore a beige linen jacket and a brown knee-length skirt.
The court heard her defence will be one of marital coercion.
No plea was given by Huhne, who wore a dark suit and maroon polka-dot tie, and the court heard his arraignment was adjourned for an application to dismiss the charge. A provisional trial date has been set for October 2, due to last no more than two weeks.
The events which led to the charges date back to March 2003, when Huhne's car was allegedly caught by a speed camera on the motorway between Stansted Airport in Essex and London.
Accusations of impropriety emerged only in 2010, after the father of five admitted an affair with PR adviser Carina Trimingham and ended his 26-year marriage.
It is alleged that between March 12 2003 and May 21 2003, Pryce falsely informed police that she was the driver of the car, thereby falsely accepting responsibility for the offence so Huhne could avoid prosecution.
Both defendants were released on unconditional bail until a pre-trial hearing on a date to be fixed, probably next month.
Perverting the course of justice carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

RALEIGH — Walking into a new locker room and joining a new team is never easy, but Andrei Loktionov appears to have had a smooth transition with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Obtained in the trade this month with New Jersey that sent Tuomo Ruutu to the Devils, Loktionov has quietly gone about his business, been a responsible player on the ice and a good fit in the room.
Its a nice team with nice guys, the Russian forward said this week. Its easy to be here. The guys support me. It makes it easy to just go play hockey and not worry about things.
Loktionov had a goal and assist Tuesday in the Canes 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders. He was on the ice for three of the Isles goals, finishing minus-2 for the game, but did help spark the Canes comeback after a horrible start the Isles taking a 4-0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the game.
Im really pleased with him, Canes coach Kirk Muller said. His attitude has been great in terms of wanting to learn and get better. Hes a smart little two-way player who has been dependable without the puck and he works hard. He competes. Hes earned his ice time.
Loktionov, 23, also has given the Hurricanes something to consider heading to the offseason.
Loktionov, who has a $725,000 salary this season, will be a restricted free agent. The Canes must decide whether to give him a qualifying offer or make him an unrestricted free agent.
If the Canes feel a need for more size, hes not a big guy at 5-11 and 190 pounds. He hasnt put up a lot of points: two goals, two assists in 10 games. He has been with two previous organizations the Los Angeles Kings and Devils and been deemed expendable by both, playing almost as many games in the American Hockey League as the NHL.
Theres also the matter of the Kontinental Hockey League. Loktionov confirmed he received a lucrative offer from a KHL team after last season, but the Voskresensk native said he wants to stay in the NHL and play in the best league in the world.
Loktionov, with a smile, said the toughest part of the March 5 trade to the Canes was packing my bags.
Its not so much about the hockey, he said. Every team is much the same, the organization. It is tough learning new systems and on the ice where you have to go.
They showed me before the first game how I had to play, but in my mind it was still the old system, you know. You have to think where to go and it was tough the first three games maybe. Right now its good.
Muller recently shuffled his lines and has had Loktionov playing with Eric Staal and Jiri Tlusty. Staal opened on the wing but took most of the faceoffs Tuesday and saw time at center.
In the first period, Loktionov set up Jeff Skinner for a shot on the power play with a sharp circle-to-circle pass. Skinner didnt score on the shot but did moments later on a rebound.
Loktionov then scored the Canes second goal. After a pass off the boards from Tlusty, Loktionov knocked the puck away from Isles defenseman Travis Hamonic in the neutral zone, sped down ice and beat goalie Anders Nilsson with a deft forehand from a tight angle.
He hasnt had a lot of games with us yet but he seems to be a good young player, Staal said. You can see the skill level he has, and he has the right instincts in areas of the ice that can be helpful.
The Canes (31-32-9), who have a road game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday, figure to have an interesting, meaningful offseason. There should be a shakeup in management, possibly another with the coaching staff. Its likely the look of the room will change, with some players no longer around.
Miss the Stanley Cup playoffs five straight years, as the Canes almost assuredly will, and those things can happen.
But Loktionov said he hopes to be a part of his new team in the years to come.
The people here care about me, which is nice, he said.

Optimal global monitoring of food insecurity calls for annual data at country level that is made available with a quick turnaround. This will greatly assist national policy and decision making as well as global monitoring of the development agenda objectives.
Project overview
FAO's Voices of the Hungry (VOH) project is an innovative approach to assist countries in accessing timely and valid information on the severity of food insecurity as experienced by individuals in the population. This initiative aims to establish a new global standard for measuring food insecurity experience that is valid, endorsed at the international level, and used for global and country monitoring.
FAO has developed the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) which is modeled after the 15-item Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (Spanish acronym: ELCSA). The FIES has the potential to become the global standard by providing comparable information on food insecurity experience across countries and population groups. The FIES builds upon established tools, such as the USDA Household Food Security Survey Module and the ELCSA, both of which have been tested and validated in various parts of the world in developed and developing countries. As it is not exclusively tied to any particular sector such as nutrition, agriculture or economics, the FIES has the advantage of contributing to multi-disciplinary approaches for estimating food insecurity severity, and can be used as part of food security initiatives within and across different sectors.
FAO is partnering with Gallup, Inc. that has carried out nationally representative surveys in more than 150 countries annually since 2005 in its world poll study. Starting in 2014, the Gallup World Poll® (GWP) questionnaire will include the FIES, modified to a 10-item survey module, in order to gather information on food insecurity experiences of individuals. Currently, FAO is carrying out a pilot study to include the FIES in the 2013 Gallup® World Poll in four sub-Saharan countries – Angola, Ethiopia, Malawi and Niger. An extensive linguistic adaptation was carried out in the major national languages to ensure that translations of the FIES module for the Gallup® World Poll questionnaire are culturally appropriate and well understood.
In preparation for the global launch in 2014, this pilot study will help to consolidate procedures for proper linguistic adaptation of the FIES questions, to identify the optimum set of questions that effectively cover the range of conditions from being food secure to experiencing severe food insecurity, and to develop the analytic methods required for compiling comparable indicators across nations and linguistic groups. Results from the pilot study will be available through this website in early 2014.

Firms hoping to cash in on links to Austen
9:00am Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News
BUSINESSES in Overton are hoping to attract tourists visiting a gin factory into the village by creating a heritage trail about famous north Hampshire novelist Jane Austen.
Overton Business Association (OBA) has discussed Bombay Sapphire's gin factory, which is set to open at Laverstoke Mill in May, and ways it could attract some of the 100,000 people expected to visit the site each year to Overton.
Overton parish councillor Peter Baker, who presented the OBA's ideas to Overton Parish Council, said: "We discussed using this wonderful opportunity of these thousands of people going through the village to make Overton a tourist venue by exploiting the fact that Jane Austen came shopping here when she lived in Steventon."
A letter sent by Jane Austen to her sister details her trip to Overton in 1798, when she bought garments from a village shop.
Cllr Baker said that the OBA hoped to set up a heritage display panel with a picture of Jane Austen and details of her links to Overton.
It would include a footpath map entitled 'Walking in the footsteps of Jane Austen' which would include the various spots in Overton which she visited, including St Mary's Church, where her brother James was mercer.

INDIANAPOLIS — An officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was killed in the line of duty early Friday morning.
At approximately 1:52 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 6700 block of Eagle Pointe Drive (Eagle Point Apartments) in reference to a disturbance.
When the first arriving officer arrived, he heard screams for "help" from an unidentified woman who was inside an apartment. The officer, fearing for the safety of this woman, made entry. As the officer entered the apartment, gunshots were exchanged between the officer and the suspect and the officer was struck with gunfire. The officer was transported to Wishard Memorial Hospital in critical condition, where he later died as a result of his injuries.
The officer has been identified as 41-year-old Rod Bradway, a five-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Bradway was a highly-decorated officer, having just been awarded the IMPD's Medal of Bravery. Bradway leaves behind a wife and two teenage children, and is from Nappanee, Ind.
"We have lost a true hero today in Officer Bradway … please keep his family and the IMPD family in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks that lie ahead" said IMPD Chief Rick Hite.
Investigators have identified the suspect, who was also fatally shot and killed in the exchange of gunfire with police, as 24-year-old Steven Byrdo. Investigators are also working to ascertain the exact circumstances of the shooting, and have detained the woman, who was not injured, for questioning. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
The Julian Center, Indiana's largest domestic violence emergency shelter, noted it worked with Bradway on several domestic violence cases.
"He was truly a compassionate officer and champion of domestic violence victims," said Jennifer Reister, domestic violence projects supervisor at the Julian Center.
A fund for Bradway's family has been established. Donations may be sent to the "Officer Bradway Family Fund" at the Professional Police Officers Credit Union, 1502 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46201; or by calling 327-2600.

Stuffing a dwarf in an oven, penis punching, dildo-sniffing, and a psycho with a flame-thrower torching homes - Project X gets mean fairly quickly and never pulls back. Yet while the filmmakers obviously want us to believe their pushing the limits and seem to think no way will we be expecting what's coming next, it's all so very, very predictable in the end. Too many of the scenes play out like twists on other party movies (a scene with the threesome in charge of the party up on their roof surveying what they have wrought feels way too Almost Famous-ish). There are some laughs in Project X, and for the first half hour it had a lot of promise, but then just as with the wild party at the center of the film, Project X spirals out of control, culminating in a finale that does a complete 180 in terms of tone. And the ending's a complete letdown, even for a film that has as little substance to it as this one does.
Project X was directed by Nima Nourizadeh, produced by Todd Phillips, and is rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem-all involving teens.
Theatrical Release: March 2, 2012

I pay attention to the pointspreads; it's part of my job description at Pro Football Weekly, and I enjoy it. Anyway, the Browns are three-point favorites, but several Nevada sportsbooks have offered Cleveland to cover a three-point spread at plus-100, or even-money, odds. That's not customary; the standard sports wager is offered with 10 percent vigorish. In short, a typical $100 wager will return $90.91, not $100.
Bookmaking isn't founded on giving bettors $100 for a winning $100 wager; it's founded on taking that 10 percent off the top of the wager. In an ideal scenario for the house, equal amounts of money are wagered on both sides, the sportsbook pays out the winning bets but keeps the money from the losing wagers, as well as the vigorish from the winning bets.
As the vigorish on the Browns' side of the line dropped at some sportsbooks, the Seahawks' vigorish rose to as high as 20 percent, meaning bettors would have to wager $120 to earn $100 in profit if Seattle covered the three-point margin.
Why do I mention this? The vigorish is sometimes adjusted to encourage — or discourage — the flow of money on a particular side of the line. I could be wrong, but it seems that some sportsbooks wouldn't mind a little more money on the Browns. Cleveland, after all, has lost two games in a row and is 1½ games back in the AFC North. Also, the Browns have scored 17 points or fewer in 4-of-5 games. As home favorites go, they aren't the most formidable bunch.
However, I like the Browns in this game. Though the Seahawks' last win before their Week Six bye was a victory at the Giants, they have been a weak road team overall recently. Including the postseason, Seattle is just 4-16 on the road since 2009. The Seahawks are surrendering more yards per game and per play than the Browns, whose offense perked up late in the loss to Oakland.
Also, teams coming off a bye didn't fare well in Week Six, posting just a 1-5 mark. The Browns, as you recall, were one of the clubs that lost. Now Seattle has to shake off the rust, too.
Finally, the Seahawks are traveling from the Pacific time zone to the Eastern time zone, which has proven a tough trip for some West Coast teams over the years.
Conditions are favorable for the Browns to get back to .500, in my view.
Prediction: Browns 21, Seahawks 13
Season-to-date prediction record: 3-2

How will Albion line-up at Derby? And what team would you pick?
Updated 8:23am Saturday 18th January 2014 in Sport By Brian Owen
Albion have injury problems as they take on high-flying Derby today.
Andrew Crofts and Kazenga LuaLua have both joined the absentee list in the past week and Will Buckley is still out.
On top of that, Adam El-Abd has moved to Bristol City and any hopes of bringing in Lewis Grabban in time for the game have been dashed.
More encouragingly, Andrea Orlandi seems to be feeling his way back gradually after a knee operation and could start.
So how will Oscar Garcia set up his team today? Who will he pick?
And what XI would you send out at the iPro Stadium if you were in the hot seat?
We'd love to know your thoughts.

Grendel wrote:I agree with this team being the likely scenario. What is frustrating for me is yet another injury to Lua Lua. With him, Buckley, and Orlandi in the squad, we've got three injury prone players. I wonder when / if ever, all 3 of them have been available at the same time. Not often I suspect. 3 players so prone to injury is a liability in my opinion. I just hope that any new signings are tougher, more robust players than them, as well improving the squad.

IMHO we really need to replace the massive attacking threat we've lost in Lua Lua and the driving play of Crofts but what we have is what we have.
Orlandi is class and although not as devastating as Lua Lua, has his own talents.
Agustien is I think one of our most creative players... He makes us tick and something looks likely to happen when he is on the ball.
I've added Solly for David as I think we need at least someone with pace on the pitch and tbh, I also think he deserves a shot.

University of Colorado Regent Sue Sharkey is offended her daughter was issued a whistle during orientation. Would you be less offended if students were issued guns at orientation?
I believe the potential attacker considering "will she pull a gun out and shoot me?" will come prepared with their own gun knowing your daughter has a gun instead of a whistle. Who will end up dead?

GOODYEAR, AZ - One advantage Arizona has over Florida for Spring Training is that the weather is better. You almost never get rain outs. Today was the exception to that rule, it rained. Indians hitters and pitchers were forced to take batting practice and throw bullpens inside. The team could not get any of their work in the field accomplished. Teams account for these kinds of things and are good at adjusting so if anything, it was only an inconvenience.
Daisuke Matsuzaka threw a bullpen today. He had quite an audience. Roughly 20 journalists from Japan were here to monitor his every move. They were in position to cover his warm up tosses in the outfield of one soggy practice field. As he made his way to indoor pitching mounds to throw his bullpen the media troupe stampeded the 30 yards to the building to try and find a spot where they could film through the chain link fencing. It was quite a site, but it's actually pretty standard for Japanese players in MLB. They have their own press corps. It can make for crowded quarters in the press room when a Japanese player is in the news that day.
Manager Terry Francona has announced that LHP Giovanni Soto will start Friday against the Reds. It will help him prepare for the World Baseball Classic, he's pitching for Puerto Rico. The club had originally wanted Scott Kazmir to start in that game, but pitching coach Mickey Callaway decided he needed another bullpen session before he was ready.
