They said it: Packers Tuesday edition
PFW delivers a handful of noteworthy early-week quotes from Packers players a few days after Green Bay's 45-17 rout of the Giants in Week 16.
Rodgers brings home hardware with epic Week 16 outing
While most of the fantasy players who entered the season ranked No. 1 at their respective position fell short of expectations, Aaron Rodgers was different, and his performance Sunday showed why.
Starks (knee/ankle) won't play in the regular-season finale.||||||| The Packers will have a first-round bye and won't play again until Jan. 15.
Starks will miss his second straight game because of an ankle injury and Brandon Saine is out after sustaining a concussion, leaving the Green Bay Packers with only two running backs for Sunday's game against Kansas City.||||||| Make sure to get Starks on the bench before its too late. Even if healthy, he makes for a poor play against the Chicago Bears in Week 16.
Starks was active for Thursday's game against the Lions. He was listed as questionable with knee and ankle injuries after he was hurt late in last week's win against Tampa Bay.||||||| Coach Mike McCarthy said the decision would be made before the game. Starks, the team's top rusher, was listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in a short walk-through session Wednesday. Starks suffered a sprained knee and an ankle injury in the final minutes of the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. He was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, the only extensive on-field work the Packers had this week.
Starks has a sprained knee and a sore ankle, leaving his availability in doubt for the Green Bay Packers' game at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.||||||| Starks hurt his knee late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay. The Packers did not practice Monday, but Starks likely would not have been able to go if they did. Packers coach Mike McCarthy says the injury isn't as bad as it appeared to be initially, and is holding out hope that Starks might be able to practice Tuesday.
Starks led the Packers in rushing Sunday in a 45-38 win over the Chargers.||||||| He had 66 yards on 13 carries and one reception for nine yards.

OK, not sure if the Subject says it well, but what I have is a PaletteSet that is displayed during a command in order to show some data as well as containing options for the command. Once it is displayed I set the focus back to the Editor so the user can select objects. When the cursor moves over the Palette focus is automatically switched so the mouse can select the options thereon, then switches back to the Editor as the cursor moves off the Palette. This all works fine & dandy.
What I am trying to do is allow the user to use the keyboard to 'press' buttons on the Palette form via a Hotkey approach. The entire time that the Editor has focus, the Editor.GetEntity() method is in use to allow the user to select an object.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for such a task?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Well, I've adapted some HotKey code from HERE that almost works. It was written for a Form whereas my form is actually a UserControl on a PaletteSet. So even though the HotKey is defined, I used CTRL + S since I want to save something, when run that key combination does nothing (normally this would bring up the Save Drawing dialog). I think that this is due to the Palette vs Form and I cannot see how to get the WndProc event to fire with the PaletteSet.
I will put together a small sample project, hopefully someone can lend a hand.
FWIW, Jeff -
As I understand it, Civil 3D now 'owns' the Ctrl button for hotkeys, which is why this has never worked for any version of Civil 3D I've used, but will work for vanilla AutoCAD.
"Potential has a shelf life." - Margaret Atwood
That program works for me in C3D2012, including the CTRL key combination.
The solution turned out to be simple enough. Instead of using the PaletteSet.Handle to pass to the constructor I used the UserControl.Handle and all works as desired. I posted the sample project to theSwamp's .NET forum.

Grilled Sirloin Salad Recipe
"I love to put together healty dishes from a variety of foods," Nicole Bresee writes from Westport, Ontario. "My husband, Steve, especially likes salad, and I like steak, so this recipe really suits us.Nicole Bresee, Westport, Ontario
- 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
- 1/2 pound beef top sirloin steak
- 1/2 medium red onion, sliced and separated into rings
- 1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
- 4 cups torn mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar; add the steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Place onion and green pepper on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly.; set aside.
- Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
- Grill vegetable packet, covered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
- Let steak stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the salad greens, raspberries and grilled vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk the salt, pepper and remaining oil and vinegar; pour over salad and toss to coat. Slice steak across the grain; arrange over salad. Yield: 2 servings.

ajaccio by 1 @ 4,00
I really dont like the home side and I always bet against them, but here they got great chances to take something, having home advantage and being much more fresher that their opponents.
Ajaccio won promotion only due to their great home results in League 3. They lost just 1 of their last 5 matches here, beating Nantes and Laval, both with 3;1. Last round before the break Ajaccio made goaless draw away from home against Giungamp and I expect their unbeaten run to continue in their 1st match for 2013.
On the other side Istres played cup game with extra time and penalties against French league 1 side - Valenciennes winning progress for the competition. Its a great achievment and the players gave their best, so I see some of them rested here. Also Istres are not from the best travelers, losing 4 straight times in French League 2 away from home.
expected results: 1;0 or 2;1

I do not suspect any complex mechanism in addition to chronological order. The e-mail leaked out after it was sent to Launchpad members.
It's been over a week or so when I submitted my request for the LaunchPad membership. I understand you might be swamped with processing the requests. Can you let me know what the status is of my process or if there's anything else you need me to provide to speed up the process?
-- Just checked my account and an Account ID AID-00000453XX was assigned to me on Feb 18, 2011. But there's no programs in which I am listed under, does this mean I am still awaiting approval?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the update. I understand that there is a surge in application when it was announced about the perks for being a LaunchPad member. I 'm currently working on a minor project to cleanse pharmaceutical data and was trying to investigate/develop how data can be available on all major mobile platforms. My target is the Symbian 40/S60v5 users or even S^3. My background is mostly .NET, so it will be a big learning curve for me to adopt to Qt or java.
Thanks again for replying.
S60 (formerly Series 60) was indeed a Symbian OS based platform, now melted into the OS itself and known simply as Symbian.
As for learning curve for learning Qt, I think you will find is not that big, give it a try.

Thanks for the clarification. I normally don't have a problem with @nokia or @ovi emails but i'll keep an eye out for it.
Shame Nokia didn't make it clear on the day that only existing members would be eligible (for the E7 for testing), so they wouldn't interfere with the system for the rest of us, although at least it did promote awareness that Launchpad membership was available for a limited time.
The application page seems to be working fine, what kind of limitation/eligibility you mean?
Well I hope I get to be approved. I don't expect to get any devices... i just want to be part of the community and I got to Nokia from an announcement of free launchpad membership. As I said I'm a long time fan of Nokia devices, and having a merge of Microsoft with Nokia is like the perfect match for me. I don't want an E7 device because my focus will be windows phone not symbian.
If thats whats delaying my application, I would like to state that I don't want and I don't need the E7 device that supposedly where offered to existent members

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Fort Bragg officials say an officer who died this week during training was using a parachute that is not routinely used by his unit.
Col. Darron L. Wright died during a training jump Monday. The Army is investigating his death.
A spokesman for the fort, Col. Kevin Arata, says Wright was using a more maneuverable parachute than the standard parachute that the unit usually uses. Paratroopers using the maneuverable MC-6 have special training.
"You can turn that thing on a dime," Arata told The Fayetteville Observer.
While the investigation continues, the XVIII Airborne Corps has suspended use of the MC-6.
In recent years, Wright, 46, wrote a war memoir called Iraq Full Circle and held several prominent positions at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. He was the deputy commander of Lewis-McChords 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division on its 2009-10 tour in Iraq.
News Tribune staff writer Adam Ashton contributed to this report.

What is the Social Model?
In 1975 a group of disabled people in a recently formed group called the Union of Physically Impaired Against Segregation (UPAIS), published a short book called the "Fundamental Principles of Disability." Shortly after that a disabled lecturer Mike Oliver was trying to introduce the concepts contained in the Fundamental principle to a group of social work students. This is when the term Social Model was first used.The Social Model since has become internationally recognised as the driving force behind the disability agenda and a cornerstone of the disabled people's movement.The Social Model in its simplest changes the focus away from people's impairments and towards removing the barriers that disabled people face in every day life.
The barriers can be
For example : Lack of accessible information
For example : Segregated provision
For example : Disabled people being seen as expensive, useless or needy
In the main it is not the impairment that is the problem, or the disabled person, rather it is society's failure to take into account our diverse needs. The Social Model shifts policy away from a medical, charity, care agenda into a rights led, equalities agenda.
The Individual Model of Disability
Much of the way in which society is organised and resourced is still based on what was identified as the Individual Model of Disability. This includes the City Council. Disabled people are split for convenience into medical groups and doctors still know best and tend to be the gatekeepers and adjudicators for resources going to assist disabled people.
Disabled people in the main are still seen as "done to" and are meant to be grateful for what they receive. Indeed disabled people are seen as an extra expense to councils and the government. Equality for disabled people comes with a price tag.
Disabled people contend that if the barriers to disabled people were removed systematically disabled people could play a full part in community life working and paying taxes like everyone else. In the long run we argue it is cheaper and more economical to support disabled people being independent that providing services which foster and maintain a dependency throughout their lives.History
In 1995 the Council decided to implement the Social Model. In 2000 the Equalities Scrutiny Committee (as it was then known) decided to find out what had been done to implement this instruction.The interim report clearly showed that this instruction had gone little further than the original report in 1995 and that there had been no overall corporate plan to implement it.
The final report in 2001 recommended that :
- A corporate steering group should be set up chaired by the Acting Chief Executive to draw up an action plan to implement the Social Model across the Council.
- A consultant be appointed to advise and guide the Council through this process.
- An action plan be drawn up by autumn 2002.
These recommendations were agreed by Council who wanted to make sure that officers carried out their instructions.
In late 2001 we were very fortunate to secure the services of now Professor Mike Oliver from the University of Greenwich who had first coined the phrase back in 1975. He brought with him a colleague Peter Bailey as a co- consultant. They consulted disabled people from a wide spectrum of organisations for their input into the process and worked with a cross-departmental steering group chaired by the then Acting Chief Executive.
In March 2003 the action plan was agreed at cabinet and this has become the cornerstone of developing and implementing disability issues within the council.
We believe that Birmingham is the first council to move from policy into action on implementing the Social Model. Our work around disability will be referenced within the Single Equality Framework which will replace the existing equality schemes.

CUMMING -- After a weeklong search of Lake Lanier for a missing boater, Georgia Department of Natural Resources rangers have scaled back efforts.
The man, identified this weekend as 47-year-old George M. Counts of Tucker, disappeared Monday, Feb. 11, when rangers found his boat along a bank after reports of it circling in the water.
Last week, Forsyth County Fire Department dive teams searched, while rangers used side-scan sonar to find traces of the missing man. Helicopters and a police K-9 assisted in the search.
Over the weekend, the search was scaled back to morning and afternoon surface checks, which are expected to continue this week, said DNR spokeswoman Melissa Cummings. Cummings said the man's family was aware of the search plans.

The Trinity Aretes are a steep, high quality limestone sport climbing area located above the Trinity River. The rock is of excellent quality with routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.14a. The cliffs are generally north facing and quite cold during the winter. Summer and Fall are the best times to climb. While some routes are only 35 feet, most are 100 feet or longer, and up to 250, so a 70 meter rope is highly recommended. Some locals use 100 meter ropes for ease of lowering on the longer lines. After following rumors of a big limestone crag, Paul Humphrey finally drove the right dirt road and found one of the highest quality limestone crags on the west coast. Since 1996 route development has been spearheaded by Eric Chemello and Humphrey and there are now over 50 routes.
Getting There
The "Aretes" are great for their easy access. From the town of Burnt Ranch on Highway 299, Take Underwood Mountain road uphill (south) for 3.5 miles. Turn right onto forest service road 5N40. Follow this road for about 2 miles and the cliffs will be on your left. Dispersed camping is found across the road and more secluded spots are nearby. Please travel well away from the camp to relieve yourself. The Aretes are currently not "trashed" please pack out all butts, bottle caps and tape. Also, please pay attention to the local fire restrictions, one careless incident could blow it for everyone.

PITTSBORO — The debate over Chatham Park still hangs on two ideas: density and size.
While the Pittsboro Board of Commissioners and Preston Development have gone back and forth for months about minute details, the sheer scale of the city-sized development remains the mind-boggling sticking point.
Were talking about a project so huge that its hard for the average citizen to understand, and Im one of them, said Mayor Bill Terry, who doesnt have a vote on the board. I guess Im making a plea for you to help us understand that youre really not trying to put 10 pounds of sugar in a 5-pound bag here.
A town-hired consultant, Lawrence Group, gave the project a skeptical review last month, asking whether the company really could fit tens of thousands of homes and several commercial and office centers on the 7,500 acres of rural land it has bought east of Pittsboro, a village with a population of 4,000.
Philip Culpepper, a representative for Preston, argued against that suggestion. Lawrence Groups representative, Craig Lewis, takes the position that in his experience it cant be done, that you cant put 22,000 dwelling units and 22 million square feet in 7,000 acres, Culpepper said. Our experience is that it can be done. Were talking about an urban project. Were talking about years.
He described Chatham Park as the alternative to traffic-choked suburban sprawl. Commissioner Michael Fiocco made the same point.
If you look at it from the suburban perspective ... that you wont get those densities. But if we go for something a little more urban, with transit, walkable, bikeable communities, then I think we can accomplish that, Fiocco said.
But Culpepper acknowledged the companys vision for Chatham Park can be hard to grasp.
Its really hard to get your head around it. Commissioner (Jay) Farrell has been living in a small town all his life, said Culpepper, who has been attending Pittsboros meetings for the better part of seven years as Preston has planned its legacy project.
Terry suggested that a plan fleshed out with more illustrations and details would help. The developer previously had said that the smallest details of the project will change over the decades of construction.
Mondays discussion was partial at best, and revealed some frustration among board members. Mayor Bill Terry had wanted a Lawrence Group representative on hand to answer questions, but the idea didnt have the support of the majority of the board.
I feel like were hamstrung tonight, Terry said. My fear is that we may have to in some parts revisit this in two weeks, when a Lawrence Group representative might be available.
He also asked for more information on how Chatham Park would protect land around streams and Jordan Lake. The developer had said it didnt want to formally incorporate the Southwest Shore Conservation Assessment an environmental report commissioned by Preston into its master plan, as Lawrence Group and local environmentalists had asked.
Pittsboro Matters, the group most critical of Chatham Park, early on had pointed to Lawrence Groups recommendations as a good compromise. Now, weeks later, the group is attacking the developers deviation in some places from some of the consultants ideas.
They are essentially telling the town board, Trust us, we know what we are doing better than the national recognized Lawrence Group, wrote Jeffrey Starkweather, a leader of Pittsboro Matters, in an email. In our view, not going along with the vast majority of these recommended revisions proposed by an clearly objective expert outside consulting firm is essentially selling out Pittsboro and its citizens to the financial interests of an outside developer.
But Culpepper, the developers representative, said the projects planners are still working with the town through a long process.
We have given you our responses in writing, he told the board. While they might not be the comments that you wished ... or perhaps didnt address each issue in the way you wanted it addressed were here tonight with you as partners in this project.
The town board planned to have staff confer with Lawrence Group and the developer about some of the debated parts of the plan. The board is set to again discuss Chatham Park publicly in two weeks.

It is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means.Edgar Cayce
What a terrible wrong inflict those nations that force their reign on minorities, depriving them of freedom without allowing them to live their lives by the tendencies they have inherited from their ancestors (...) For we can see how all the nations that ever fell, throughout the generations, came to it only due to their oppression of minorities and individuals, which had therefore rebelled against them and ruined them. Hence, it is clear to all that peace cannot exist in the world if we do not take into consideration the freedom of the individual. Without it, peace will not be sustainable and ruin shall prevail.Yehuda Ashlag
Until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things, he will never, himself, know peace.Albert Schweitzer

A new website aims to help women decipher what their men are really saying via text message.
Call it generation "text" - yesterday's love letters are today's Tweets, texts and Instagrams.
FOX 29 asked three Delaware County teenagers to check out the website, HeTexted.com, which promises to decode what guys actually mean in their text messages.
Women send their text messages and ask viewers to decide: "Is he into your or not? What's this guy trying to say?
Take this text message, for example:
He says: "Sorry I snuck out last night, couldn't sleep."
She writes: "That's cool. What are you doing later?"
He answers: "Kinda' crazy with work. I'll let you know."
More than 4,000 strangers chimed in.
The teenagers we talked to thought the site was entertaining.
"Some of them are crazy," one teenager said.
We showed the site to parents, who worried that it could send the wrong message.
The website's founders say it has become so popular that there is a new user every three seconds. The founders say they're considering expanding by creating a website for men, appropriately called "Shetexted.com."

Andrus, 24, can opt out after the 2018 season, which would essentially make the deal a four-year, $60 million extension. Should Andrus does for the full term, the deal's total value could reach $131 million.
Through his first four major league seasons, Andrus' batting average and on-base percentage have risen each year. In 2012, he batted .286 with a .349 OBP and a .378 slugging percentage with three homers, 62 RBI and 21 stolen bases. He earned his second All-Star Game appearances.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2008)
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It performs many administrative functions formerly carried out by the former United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), which was part of the Department of Justice. The stated priorities of the USCIS are to promote national security, to eliminate immigration case backlogs, and to improve customer services. USCIS is headed by a director who reports directly to the Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security. USCIS was formerly and briefly named the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS), before becoming USCIS.[1] Leon Rodriguez is the current USCIS Director.[2]
USCIS consists of 18,000 federal employees and contractors working at 250 offices around the world.[3]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (October 2008)
USCIS is charged with processing immigrant visa petitions, naturalization petitions, and asylum and refugee applications, as well as making adjudicative decisions performed at the service centers, and managing all other immigration benefits functions (i.e., not immigration enforcement) performed by the former INS. Other responsibilities include:
- Administration of immigration services and benefits
- Adjudicating asylum claims
- Issuing employment authorization documents (EAD)
- Adjudicating petitions for non-immigrant temporary workers (H-1B, O-1, etc.)
- Granting lawful permanent resident status
- Granting United States citizenship
The Executive Office for Immigration Review, which includes the Immigration Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals, and which reviews decisions made by USCIS and apprehensions by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and/or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), remains under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. The bureau consists of approximately 15,000 federal government employees and contractors who work in 250 local and field offices in the U.S. and all around the world.
While core immigration benefits functions remain the same as under the INS, a new goal is to process applications efficiently and effectively. Improvement efforts have included attempts to reduce the applicant backlog, as well as providing customer service through different channels, including the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) with information in English and Spanish, Application Support Centers (ASCs), the Internet and other channels. The enforcement of immigration laws remain under CBP and ICE.
USCIS focuses on two key points on the immigrant's journey towards civic integration: when they first become permanent residents and when they are ready to begin the formal naturalization process. A lawful permanent resident is eligible to become a citizen of the United States after holding the Permanent Resident Card for at least five continuous years, with no trips out of the United States that last for 180 days or more. If, however, the lawful permanent resident marries a U.S. citizen, eligibility for U.S. citizenship is shortened to three years so long as the resident has been living with the spouse continuously for at least three years and the spouse has been a citizen for at least three years.
The INS was widely seen as ineffective, particularly after scandals that arose after September 11, 2001.[4] On November 25, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Homeland Security Act of 2002 into law. This law transferred the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) functions to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Immigration enforcement functions were placed within the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the border and Ports-of-Entry while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within land. The immigration service functions were placed into the separate USCIS. On March 1, 2003, the INS ceased to exist and services provided by that organization transitioned into USCIS. Eduardo Aguirre was appointed the first USCIS Director by President Bush. In December 2005, Emilio T. Gonzalez, Ph. D., was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the Director of USCIS, and he held this position until April 2008.[5]
Nominated by President Barack Obama on April 24 and unanimously confirmed on August 7 by the U.S. Senate, Alejandro Mayorkas was sworn in as USCIS Director on August 12, 2009.
Official website[edit]
USCIS' official website is USCIS.gov. The site was redesigned in 2009 and unveiled on September 22, 2009.[6]
The redesign made the web page interface more similar to the Department of Homeland Security's official website. The last major redesign before 2009 took place in October 2006.
Also, USCIS runs an online appointment scheduling service known as INFOPASS. This system allows people with questions about immigration to come into their local USCIS office and speak directly with a government employee about their case and so on. This is an important way in which USCIS serves the public.
Social media presence[edit]
USCIS maintains a blog entitled "The Beacon" as well as the "@uscis" Twitter account.
Unlike most other federal agencies, USCIS is funded almost entirely by user fees.[7] Under President George W. Bush's FY2008 budget request, direct congressional appropriations made about 1% of the USCIS budget and about 99% of the budget was funded through fees. The total USCIS FY2008 budget was projected to be $2.6 billion.[8]
USCIS handles all forms and processing materials related to immigration and naturalization. This is evident from USCIS's predecessor, the INS, (Immigration and Naturalization Service) which is defunct as of May 9, 2003.
USCIS currently handles two kinds of forms: those relating to immigration, and those related to naturalization. Forms are designated by a specific name, and an alphanumeric sequence consisting of one letter, followed by two or three digits. Forms related to immigration are designated with an I (for example, I-551, Permanent Resident Card) and forms related to naturalization are designated by an N (for example, N-400, Application for Naturalization).

A butterscotch pudding dessert is perfect as the beginning of Fall approaches. With the buttery & nutty crust, this is a recipe perfect for the coming season.
August 29, 2011
This pudding dessert is refreshing and light. The buttery, nutty crust adds flavor and a light crunch. Substituting chocolate pudding is a wonderful option as well.
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 package (8 ounces) Philadelphia cream cheese (softened or cubed), softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
3-1/2 cups cold 2% milk
2 packages (3.4 or 3.5 ounces each) instant butterscotch or vanilla pudding mix
In a small bowl, cut the butter into the flour until crumbly; stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping; spread over crust.
In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until set. Top with remaining whipped topping and pecans.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
I like to use roasted & salted pecans for some extra flavor.

Libraries are likely partners for community digital inclusion efforts: read the reports | Blandin on Broadband
The American Library Association recently released a comprehensive study on digital inclusion efforts in libraries – including public access to broadband. Two of my passions in one study – nerd heaven!
The report is a good reminder of the role that libraries can and do play with digital inclusion. And in my experience as a Reference Librarian and someone who has done tech training in libraries as recently as this summer, the folks who forget about the library are the folks who don't need it. The people on the far edge of the digital divide know about libraries. Maybe not everyone on the edge of the digital divide thinks library – but I can tell you a lot do. (Last year a report indicated that 91 percent of Americans 16 and older think libraries are important.)
So if everyone thinks it's important why am I writing about it? Why are they doing research? Because all libraries are not created equal. Government Technology highlights the urban-rural difference…

Lake Erie College to graduate 150th class May 10
(May 6, 2009) – Lake Erie College will graduate its 150th class on May 10 at 11 a.m. in the Auxiliary Gym of the Jerome T. Osborne Family Athletic & Wellness Center.
This year, 167 students will receive degrees. The graduates will be addressed by Lake Erie College alumna Carol Lewis Morris '67.
Morris currently dedicates her time to 57th & Irving, a family-owned film production company. Through 57th & Irving, she has served as an executive producer of "The Cake Eaters," a recently-released independent film, starring Kristin Stewart of "Twilight."
Morris was also an investor in several other independent films including "August," starring Josh Hartnett and "American Teen," a documentary filmed in Warsaw, Ind., featuring real students in their senior year of high school. Two other films are currently in process.
In addition to her work with films, Morris has been involved in various philanthropic projects, especially in the areas of the arts and in higher education. These include Copland House (the home of American composer Aaron Copland in Cortlandt, N.Y.), the University at Buffalo, Elmira College, Emerson College and Lake Erie College, where she has made numerous charitable contributions including a generous gift that allowed for the proper restoration of the Morley Music Building Skinner Organ.
Tickets are required for admittance into the commencement ceremony. A free, informal reception will immediately follow commencement in the Arthur S. Holden Center where graduates and their guests are invited to interact with fellow graduates, faculty and staff. For more information regarding the ceremony, visit http://www.lec.edu/commencement/.

San Diego Chargers
Mike Scifres - #5 - P
|6' 2"/ 215 lbs.
|Metairie, LA
|Western Illinois
|Years played
|2003, 5th round, 14th pick by Chargers
CB Cason makes sense as priority for Chargers
With so many defensive players entering free agency, one the Chargers may want to prioritize is starting CB Antoine Cason.
Bisaccia hired at Auburn
Former Chargers special-teams coach Rich Bisaccia has left San Diego to be the special-teams and running backs coach at Auburn.
Chargers fire Turner, Smith
The Chargers announced that head coach Norv Turner and GM A.J. Smith will not return in 2013.
AFC West Spin cycle: Broncos get top seed, Chiefs get top pick
The 2012 season in the AFC West ended the way it began — the Broncos and Chargers won, and the Chiefs and Raiders lost.
Chargers finish season with 24-21 defeat of Raiders
San Diego beat the Raiders 24-21 on a wet, gloomy Sunday in what's expected to be Norv Turner's final game as Chargers coach.
Raiders QB Pryor gets starting nod for Sunday
Raiders head coach Dennis Allen announced Friday that Terrelle Pryor will start at quarterback in Oakland's season finale.
OT position one of many questions for Chargers
OTs Jared Gaither and Jeromey Clary are still in line to start in 2013, but their struggles in 2012 give the incoming regime plenty to consider.
Chargers-Raiders game will be seen in Southern California
The Chargers announced Wednesday that they have sold enough tickets to lift the local blackout for Sunday's Chargers-Raiders matchup.
Chargers place NT Franklin, S Taylor on I.R.
The Chargers placed NT Aubrayo Franklin and S Brandon Taylor on injured reserve and promoted S Sean Cattouse and CB Greg Gatson.
AFC West Spin cycle: Broncos taking care of business
Another typical week in the AFC West — the Broncos dominated, the Raiders and Chiefs fell and the Chargers took advantage of a weak opponent.
Chargers sack McElroy, Jets
The Chargers took Greg McElroy down 11 times, tying the team record in a 27-17 victory over the Jets Sunday.
Dolphins place PK Carpenter on I.R., sign PK Kaeding
The Dolphins placed PK Dan Carpenter on injured reserve and signed former Chargers PK Nate Kaeding.
Mathews' injury keeps RB spot as Chargers priority
Ryan Mathews' second broken clavicle this season is more reason for the Chargers to put emphasis on adding another running back.
Chargers place Floyd, Wells, Mathews on I.R.
The Chargers placed WR Malcom Floyd, RB Ryan Mathews and OL Reggie Wells on injured reserve.
AFC West Spin cycle: Broncos pass test, Raiders shut out Chiefs
The Broncos won their ninth in a row, the Raiders shut out the Chiefs and the Chargers got blown out at home by Carolina.
Scifres, hampered last season by San Diego's brutal specials teams breakdowns, agreed Wednesday to a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the Chargers through 2016. The deal is worth just under $19 million in new money, with just more than $10 million guaranteed.||||||| Scifres has consistently been one of the NFL's best punters and was a Pro Bowl alternate from 2004-09. While Scifres' gross average was a team-record 46.7 yards last year, he was a victim of the Chargers' poor special teams play. He had four punts blocked and another deflected, helping to drop his net average to 30.8 yards.
Scifres has re-signed with the San Diego Chargers, agreeing to a four-year contract extension. The punter, who was a fifth-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, is averaging a career-best 45.2 yards on 37 punts this season. He was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2004.|||||||

About this Blog:
A daily digest of IT blogs. Richi Jennings curates the best bloggy bits, finest forums, and weirdest websites… so you don't have to. Catch the key commentary from around the Web every morning.
Over the last 12-18 months, my love affair with Apple has waned. Steve Jobs peculiar, rigidly closed, and severe worldview have started to cramp my style. ... Im starting to look past him and back to Microsoft for a more healthy relationship that is lesswait for itanti-competitive in nature. ... Apple is now the anti-competitive monster that Jobs rallied us against in the infamous 1984 commercial.
Apple will face a user revolt in the coming years based upon Microsoft, Google and other yet-to-be-formed companies, undercutting their core markets with cheap, stable and open devices. Apples legendary comeback ability will be for naught if they dont deeply examine their anti-competitive nature. Making great products does not absolve you from technologys cardinal rule: Dont be evil.
Calacanis wrote a extra long essay about why the love affair with Apple is over. Its a good read and hopefully adds to the mounting public pressure. The essay is broken dowin into 5 main points.
Of course I've been writing similar things for a while but its always good to hear Mac fans coming to their senses.
- Destroying MP3 player innovation through anti-competitive practices
- Monopolistic practices in telecommunications
- Draconian App Store policies that are, frankly, insulting
- Being a horrible hypocrite by banning other browsers on the iPhone
- Blocking the Google Voice Application on the iPhone
I have been thinking it kinda fun and cute to watch Palm and Apple go at it on whether the Pre should be able to talk to iTunes. Instead, I should be friggin up in arms. ... Dont lockup my darn data Apple. ... The next war will be around data and who owns it. Hopefully the winners in the cloud grok ownership, and we get the best of all worlds, being able to go between services and devices.
Apple is treating its users badly, and its developers even worse. ... It feels like we are at the start of a real sea change. A bunch of people reached out to say I am kinda feeling that too.
These are not my thoughts on the subject, but rather how I think Apple would respond. ... Apple doesnt prevent any manufacturer from making its own MP3 players. ... We ask that this entire section [about the App Store] be dismissed as it is based on gossip. ... We, as manufacturers of [the iPhone], owe it to our consumers to keep the overall experience as safe and secure as can be found on any other mobile telecommunications device. ... one might note that there has been a rise in anti-trust interest in Google, one of our clear competitors.
While Apple can appreciate Mr. Calacaniss opinions, we also would suggest that Mr. Calacanis ... lacks the experience that we have running a profitable hardware manufacturer that continues to be the largest minority in a space that is dominated by products running Microsoft operating systems. To take any actions other than those we have taken would not only be actions that we think would lessen the performance and value of our hardware for our consumers, but would also be a miscalculation in the current broader market of our competitors.
It is the end. Jason The Animal Calacanis is thinking about maybe quitting using Apple products. ... This is not the thought process of a well man. Perhaps Jason spent too much time next to his Tesla roadster or maybe the stress of running Mahalo has finally gotten to him.
In all honesty I kind of agree with him. ... In terms of tech-per-day, PC and Macs tend to a one-to-one parity. ... With OS X problems are much more impressive [then with Windows] (one recent problem occurred when I upgraded and needed to roll back yet Time Machine didnt recognize the old back-up).
Why waste the time standing in front of a freight train, unless you just like hearing yourself talk.
