University of Hong Kong
Department of Linguistics
International Summer Course and Workshop in African Linguistics
June 3 - June 28, 2002
This summer, the Department of Linguistics, University of Hong Kong is
organizing a one-month course and workshop in African Linguistics. One of
the distinct aspects of the Department is its international and
cross-linguistic orientation. While it has a strong grounding in Cantonese
and Chinese linguistics, it also covers linguistic studies from other parts
of the world, including Africa.
In terms of theoretical development within the exciting field of
Linguistics, African linguistic data have been the basis of much research
and development of new ideas about phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, and semantics.
The primary objective of this summer course and workshop is to create an
explicit awareness of African language studies as the basis of cutting-edge
theoretical developments in linguistics through a series of intensive
workshops, advanced linguistic courses, and language proficiency courses in
selected African languages.
Participation in the summer course and workshop will lead to a deeper
understanding of the subject matter of linguistics in a comparative
perspective. We encourage undergraduate and graduate students of Hong Kong
and other parts of the world, and established linguists and language
enthusiasts to take advantage of this opportunity to get a one-month
introduction to African languages and the cultures associated with them.
The core staff will include Professor Sam Mchombo of UC Berkeley and Dr. A.
Bodomo of the University of Hong Kong. They will be supported by graduate
students and tutors who will assist with the proficiency courses. During
the workshops, several course participants will be invited to make
presentations. Updates of the following information and a registration form

A story on two World War II veterans who will be honored at the Maspeth Memorial Day Parade featured in last week's Times Newsweekly/Ridgewood Times had two statements which require correction.
First, one of the veterans, Stephen Marrone, reportedly stated that an old classmate of his, Angelo Roselli, had died in combat. In fact, Marrone told the paper that Roselli was not killed in battle but another friend—Philip Gillen of Minnesota—had perished in the war.
The article also mentioned that Marrone's father served in the Italian Army during World War I. Marrone informed this paper that his father, in fact, served in the U.S. Army.
We regret any confusion which may have resulted.

ARIN-PPML Message

I do think it is important to have both distinctions to some extent. Afterall, an organization which is not an LIR is not the same as an organization which does not qualify as an LIR. I do not believe we should issue end-user assignments to organizations which qualify as LIRs in IPv6. I also think there is some work to be done in clarifying the qualification of an LIR. I have heard at least two distinct versions of what does and does not qualify as an LIR. In one version, I've been told that ARIN staff would not grant LIR status to Megacorp. IT based on its plan to delegate addresses to 200+ Megacorp. business units and/or departments. In another version, I have been told that ARIN staff would interpret this as a valid request. I don't honestly know which is currently true and/or whether it has ever changed. Further, as I read the NRPM, it should be considered a valid request, but, the NRPM does not make clear what type of relationship or non-relationship is required in order to qualify as "other organization". If I were to put on my ARIN defined terms only blinders, then, an Organization would be any entity which has an ARIN ORG-ID, and, "other organization" would then refer to any entity with an ORG-ID different from my own. Since anyone can easily create as many ORG-IDs as they need, that doesn't seem to me to be a very useful definition in this context.

WORCESTER, Mass.—Recognizing the exceptional contributions in cancer research and a nurturing environment for young investigators, the American Cancer Society has again awarded the UMass Memorial Cancer Center a $360,000 Institutional Research Grant. This prestigious grant, administered by Gary S. Stein, PhD, the Gerald L. Haidak and Zelda S. Haidak Chair of Cell Biology and Interim Director of the Cancer Center, and Dario C. Altieri, MD, the Eleanor Eustis Farrington Chair of Cancer Biology, provides funding to investigators at the early stages of their careers to initiate programs in cancer research. Support from the American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (up to $30,000 each) is awarded to investigators on the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Amherst campuses. Drs. Stein and Altieri "appreciate that the American Cancer Society recognizes our Cancer Center commitment to develop cancer research programs that focus on fundamental regulatory mechanisms in tumor cells and clinical research where errors in biological control provide a platform for new dimensions to cancer diagnosis and therapy. The support from this American Cancer Society grant for research that focuses on cancer prevention and control, as well as on psychosocial, behavioral, health outcomes and standards of care research, is critical for enhancing our capacity to treat cancer patients. Studies pursued under this program are leading to improvement of quality of life for cancer patients, their family and friends. In the current funding climate, American Cancer Society's support for young investigators is a decisive factor for establishing careers in cancer research." Research supported by the American Cancer Society IRG has been instrumental in evaluating experiences of minority women with cancer, developing new approaches to reconstructive surgery for cancer patients, establishing signals for expression of genes in breast cancer, defining novel strategies for dietary cancer prevention, pursuing the molecular basis of lung cancer, studying aberrant expression of genes in pancreatic cancer, analyzing modified gene expression in leukemia, developing approaches to encourage colorectal cancer screening, investigating tumor vascularization and understanding the distribution of chromosomes and regulatory proteins during tumor cell proliferation. The success of the research supported by the American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant reflects multidisciplinary approaches that have been made possible by participation of investigators from basic science and clinical departments with active engagement of investigators from the College of Medicine, the School of Nursing and the Program in Population Health Sciences on the Medical School campus and from several departments on the UMass Amherst campus. Unquestionably, the American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant enhances the capability of UMASS Medical School and UMASS Memorial Health Care to pursue the commitment to clinical and translational research. The Institutional Research Grant additionally facilitates the integration of programs between the Medical School and the UMASS Amherst campuses. The University of Massachusetts Medical School attracts more than $193 million in research funding annually, and its innovative programs are the centerpiece of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Initiative. Consistently ranked by U.S.News & World Report as one of the leading medical schools in the nation for primary care education, UMMS comprises a medical school, graduate school of nursing, graduate school of biomedical sciences and an active research enterprise, and is a leader in health sciences education, research and public service. UMMS is the academic partner of UMass Memorial Health Care.

Living with the Xbox One: Thoughts after the launch
We're past the point where video game consoles are just pieces of hardware for games. The PlayStation 4 may be less expensive than the Xbox One and more focused on games, but it's still filled with features that betray Sony's desire for the system to be given a prominent place in your home theater.
The Xbox One, on the other hand, takes all this madness to a whole new level. It's a $500 system, it juggles a variety of applications with your gaming, and comes packaged with the next-generation Kinect hardware so that the system knows what you're saying, where you're sitting, and who is in the room with you.
Some companies want a piece of your living room, while Microsoft's plan is to place its boot on the throat of your entertainment center. We said we'd revisit the system after having some time to really live with it and see how things worked out, and it's time to check back in.
So how well does all this stuff work in practice?
The Kinect
It's very strange to walk into the room and have your television welcome you and log you into your account once it sees your face. The voice commands remain my favorite part of the Xbox One, although it takes a good bit of time to get used to learning the words and mannerisms the system looks for to give you an accurate response.
I've heard some people have to repeat themselves a few times, but in my experience it's been just fine. I have a feeling this is going to vary wildly depending on your voice.
You don't need a remote control or video game controller, you can just use your hands or voice to manipulate the menus and get to where you want to go, and this system is in fact faster and easier than using the standard menu, because you can go straight to the options you want. No more going through menus to find the Netflix logo to click on it, you just tell your Xbox to take you to Netflix. Simple.
There are people who just don't want the Kinect though, and you can't escape the extra cost of the hardware. The voice commands could just as easily be handled by a high quality microphone for much less cost, and the motion controls that the Kinect offers don't really give you much in terms of gaming. Microsoft has always said that there will never be a version of the system offered without the Kinect, but they've said a lot of shit that ended up being reversed, and it looks like Sony is poised to make some serious gains this generation.
If Microsoft wants to fight the pricing game, and they may have to if they want to stay on top at retail, expect the Kinect to be the first thing to go, and development of motion-controlled games or features to be put on the back shelf. For now, the Kinect offers some very convenient features in the UI and for media playback, but I'm not sure how much I would miss this aspect of the hardware were the Kinect removed.
Video while you game
The Xbox One allows you to "snap" different features together, so you can split your screen and multitask. This is something that may have seemed a bit silly at first, but it's surprising how much use I've gotten out of the feature.
It's fun to play slower games like Powerstar Golf and watch Twitch streams on the other side of the screen, or to catch up with some shows on Netflix while I'm also playing Killer Instinct. Most games reward the player when you give them the totality of your attention, but others allow for a little bit of wandering.
Being able to watch a show or movie while playing is something I thought was silly, but it's quickly become one of my favorite features.
What needs to be done
The party and chat system is a mess right now, and Microsoft's Major Nelson has already promised that it will be improved. What's frustrating is that the party system on the Xbox 360 was functional and useful… why take a step back?
If you don't use voice commands it can take way too long to navigate to your games and apps, and this issue is only partially fixed by pinning your favorite content on the home screen. Even a folder system so you could organize and arrange your content would be an improvement.
The ability to share real names on the PlayStation 4 has become one of my favorite features of that console, and it's something that Microsoft needs to steal yesterday. I also miss the ability to quickly and easily stream my content from the console, something that the Xbox One can't do yet… although the content sharing options are already pretty nice.
Remember that the Xbox 360 at launch was nothing like the system we're used to; these systems are going to be updated, changed, adjusted, and improved fairly rapidly as people buy and use the hardware and services. This is a first step, for both Microsoft and Sony, so it's hard to be harsh about the things that need improving; so much of it already works so well.
Of course, those of us who bought at launch (or are covering the systems for work) are basically beta testing for the reasonable people who are waiting for better games after launch, and to them I say… you're welcome?

Hi I offered to write a recommendation for a friend's website. I am not a great writer and hope that you would be willing to read this over and suggest things that would make it better.
Working with Bill earlier at FairFlight Multimedia, and then again starting in 1999 at Ictus, I was able to experience Bill's greatest qualities; Creative, Results Driven, Listening and Understanding Market, Sales, HR needs, Team Management and providing clients superb Account Management.
Bill has lasted in this Industry, because of his integrity and the strong and valuable connection he builds with suppliers, co-workers, and customers. The ability to establish strong customer relationships has allowed Bill to broaden sales opportunities and establish 'prized' recurring revenue. At Ictus we witnessed Bill grow accounts that not only benefited Ictus long-term but also provided ongoing value and financial rewards for his clients.
Creativeness should not be overlooked. Although Bill can Manage his companies standard products and services, he is also creative enough and has the 'field experience' to guide great choices and new ideas that lead customers to growth opportunities for their business.
I strongly recommend you give Bill a call and let him help you today!

This weekend we posted a leaked photo of Reese Witherspoon's May Vogue cover, and now we have the rest of the Peter Lindbergh-shot spread! And there are elephants!
Of course, the elephants and (and general circus theme) are a not-so-subtle nod to Witherspoon's upcoming role in Water for Elephants. Reese turns it out in frocks by Dior, Sophie Theallet, Narciso Rodriguez, and Dolce & Gabbana, channeling Dovima just a bit.
The accompanying interview is all kinds of fluffy (surprise!), but we think this quote is rather lovely: "I get hugged a lot, which is fun. Mostly it's all good, positive energy that comes to me. I like people. And at the end of the day, we're all just people, you know? We're all just going through it. Nobody's life experience is all that much different than anyone else's. We've all had our share of heartbreak. It's the universal language of life."

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Officials at the Milton Hershey School admit they recently rejected a potential student because the 13-year-old from the Philadelphia area is HIV positive.
"It was a very challenging decision to make," Milton Hershey Communications representative Connie McNamara said.
McNamara said it was a tough call and the decision was made was over "public safety concerns." She said the school could not handle a student with a "chronic communicable disease."
But the boy and his mother are suing the school for discrimination.
"We're still dealing with this level of fear and hysteria...all the medical literature is clear this boy presents no risk to anyone at the school," Attorney and Executive Director of AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania Ronda Goldfein said.
Goldfein represents the boy and his mother in the lawsuit.
"It's an incorrect reading to the law to think that a private school isn't bound by the same laws that we are all bound by," Goldfein said.
Milton Hershey officials are standing by the decision.

Some notes to go over before battling with Sleepy Carl.
The Pens opened up their preseason against Columbus, and it went pretty well. Since then, not so much in terms of the win loss, but it's the preseason. What matters is getting off any of that offseason rust you may have, and getting the team back in stride. It's also great to get the young prospects their ice time, and see if they can help out sooner rather than later, and, if later, they'll have a good grasp of the situation.
Lineups are right here, and enjoy the game.

Rick GrimesPlayed by Andrew Lincoln
Rick Grimes is a small-town sheriff's deputy who is wounded in the line of duty and wakes to a zombie apocalypse.
An everyman, Rick struggles to cling to his moral code in the face of increasingly dire circumstances. "We don't kill the living," he tells Daryl at one point, only to retract that philosophy later on when "the living tried to kill us."
As the group's de facto leader, Rick is charged with keeping everyone safe as well as finding them a secure home. When his son Carl is shot by a man living in a secluded farmhouse, Rick thinks he's found just that. But the farm eventually proves vulnerable and falls to a massive herd of walkers, once again exiling Rick and the other survivors to the road.
While Rick was in a coma, his best friend and partner Shane began an affair with his wife, Lori. In addition to the affair (and the unknown paternity of Lori's baby), Rick and Shane's relationship is further fractured by Shane's constant questioning of Rick's leadership. Shane ultimately tries to murder Rick, who manages to plunge a knife into his friend's heart. "Damn you for making me do this," Rick sobs as Shane bleeds to death.
But Shane is not alone in questioning Rick. When Rick reveals that he'd been keeping a secret from the group — namely, that everyone is infected and will become a walker when they die — they challenge his honor and implore him to be more pro-active in looking after their safety.
"I didn't ask for this," Rick counters, inviting anyone who wants to leave to do so. "If you're staying," he warns, "this isn't a democracy any more."
When the group discovers an abandoned prison, Rick leads the effort to clear the prison yard and cell block of walkers so they can make it their new home. He throws himself into the task and refuses to engage Lori's attempts to discuss their rocky relationship.
When Lori dies during childbirth, Rick becomes grief-stricken and begins to hallucinate Lori in her wedding gown. As his mental state deteriorates, the pressures of being a leader begin to wear him down just as a new threat emerges: The Governor, leader of a town called Woodbury, has kidnapped Glenn and Maggie.
Rick leads a team into Woodbury to rescue them, and in the process kills several of the Governor's men. In retaliation, the Governor attacks the prison.
Afterwards, Rick meets with the Governor to discuss a truce but instead receives an ultimatum: Hand over Michonne — who had killed the Governor's walker daughter — or be destroyed. Rick struggles with the decision, but ultimately refuses to comply. "I couldn't sacrifice one of us for the greater good because we are the greater good," he tells the group.
Rick and the others fortify the prison in advance of the Governor's second attack and manage to drive his army away. Afterwards, Rick takes in the surviving Woodbury residents. "They're gonna join us," he tells Carl. He looks up to the catwalk for his hallucination of Lori, but she's nowhere to be seen.

This is probably a loaded question. From the limited number of Lakers games that I have seen, Dwight obviously doesn't look same. Whether that is the related to Dwight's back, shoulder or just the whole mess in LA. Or maybe part of it is his toxic attitude that has slowly been changing over the past few years. Most likely it is a mix of all of those issues.
From those limited LA games I have seen, Dwight just doesn't seem to jump as high or quickly as he use to and he can't move laterally as fast any more. Basically looks like he is tied down with an anchor sometimes. So I am just wondering if maybe we got lucky with trading Dwight before these issues get worse. Nothing like having a big man with back problems.

Hi all
I had a fairly busy morning this morning - knowing that the skies were going to be clear (well, hoping), the waning crescent Moon was well positioned, a bright ISS and STS-119 Discovery pass was going overhead, and then of course Jupiter which is climbing to a manageable 35° altitude before dawn.
I managed to capture all three objects, and heres the first one that has been processed. Its Jupiter in seeing that was very similar to what I captured on wednesday morning.
The resolution isnt great due to the seeing, but Oval BA is visible just past the CM. I missed the best of the seeing as it deteriorated further as dawn approached. I was busy capturing the Moon and the ISS when the seeing was good, and Jupiter was still too low.
Jupiter and Oval BA - 19th March 2009
Thanks for looking.

Ketchum to defend FedEx PR business in EMEA, UK
Posted to the Holmes Report here
FedEx has called a review of its PR services across EMEA and the UK, tendering two briefs worth an estimated £250,000 in total.
Both accounts are currently handled by Ketchum, FedEx's global agency-of-record. The logistics giant has asked agencies to submit two proposals: one for transportation subsidiary FedEx Express' regional PR coordination across EMEA and the Indian subcontinent; and the other for FedEx Express in the UK and Ireland.

UK incumbents out as Nokia shortlists four for global PR brief
Posted to the Holmes Report here
Nokia has shortlisted four agencies to pitch for its PR activities across the US, UK and head office, effectively ending the tenure of the two UK incumbents: GolinHarris and Good Relations.
The Holmes Report understands that Emanate, the sister firm of US incumbent Ketchum, has made the shortlist along with three other agencies: Fleishman-Hillard, Cohn & Wolfe, and holding group Next Fifteen. The formal RFP is expected this week, with presentations due to take place in London in late March. Read the rest of this entry »
Omnicom 2010 PR revenues up, but lag other disciplines
Posted to the Holmes Report here
Omnicom Group, the owner of PR agencies Fleishman-Hillard, Ketchum and Porter Novelli, has reported that its public relations revenues grew by 5.2 percent in 2010.
That increase, calculated on an organic basis, took the group's PR earnings to US$1.146 billion. It also meant that Omnicom's PR agencies demonstrated the lowest rate of growth of the group's four units, lagging behind speciality (+10.8 percent), CRM (+6.9 percent), and advertising (+5.3 percent).

Nokia reshuffles comms heads, calls international review
Posted to the Holmes Report here
Nokia UK and Ireland comms chief Anna Shipley has departed her role for a new position in Bejing, overseeing the mobile phone giant's PR across China, Japan and Korea.
The reshuffle, which has also seen Shipley's Beijing-based predecessor Louise Ingram shift to Nokia's Finland HQ to head global mobile phone comms, comes as the company searches for one agency to support its PR needs across the US, UK and head office. Currently, three agencies – Ketchum, Good Relations and GolinHarris – handle the separate briefs. Read the rest of this entry »
India: PR growing, but major challenges remain
This story is posted to the Holmes Report here
After a week observing the Indian PR market up close, a few thoughts spring to mind. The country is an increasingly confident, optimistic place – fuelled by double-digit economic growth. Unsurprisingly, in this environment, business expansion is viewed as inevitable.
Instead, in common with many emerging markets, most of the people I spoke to are grappling with how best to manage the issues that stem from rapid growth. These challenges often appear universal, but they are also defiantly local. Here are a few: Read the rest of this entry »
Hill & Knowlton wins P&G Olympics assignment

Merck eyes PR consolidation after merger
This story is also posted to the Holmes Report website here
Pharmacuetical giant Merck is reviewing its comms activities across Europe, as the company assesses its PR spending plans after its blockbuster $41 billion merger with Schering Plough last year.
It is understood that the company spends upwards of £20 million on all comms in Europe alone, working with more than 100 agencies and suppliers. Read the rest of this entry »
Middleweight agencies make moves
Looking back over 2009, one theme rings loud and clear: consolidation.
It is a term that can be applied to any number of procurement-led global reviews – from HP, British Airways, HP again, Lufthansa, Microsoft, HP again…You get the picture.
Perhaps of more interest, we have seen concrete consolidation in the agency world, via three major examples: MS&L merging with Publicis Consultants, Ketchum merging with Pleon, and Huntsworth's decision to whittle down its 26 agency brands to four.
Already those decisions are starting to bear fruit. Grayling has bulked up to $150m after buying another agency in the US, making it the second biggest independent player after Edelman. MS&L Group won its first global mandate of note this year. And Ketchum Pleon has also been awarded significant new international business.
All of these agencies want to move out of the mid-size bracket, and compete with the handful of big boys that are worth $400-$500m in annual revenues, and are often viewed by clients as the natural destination for global PR mandates. In that sense, these moves are long overdue – more competition at the top can only be of benefit to the industry in general.
Inevitably, these developments also turn the spotlight on some of the other remaining mid-size contenders. Porter-Novelli, GolinHarris, Waggener-Edstrom and Cohn & Wolfe, to name four. In 2010, can we expect to see a little more expansionary zeal from this quartet?
What next for Ketchum, Pleon and Brodeur in Asia?
The big merger between Omnicom agencies Ketchum & Pleon is something that has been bubbling under the surface for a while. Given the way PR revenues have been hit in recent months, it won't suprise too many people and Ketchum and Pleon are, geographically at least, reasonably complementary.
But one region where this doesn't add up to much is Asia-Pacific. Ketchum, at present, exists only in Greater China – where it is one of the mainland's stronger agencies. Pleon, meanwhile, was previously associated with Brodeur in Asia-Pacific, and has a barely minimal presence of its own in the region. So the upshot must be that the new agency, which is actually called Ketchum, will need to seriously consider acquisition if they want to deliver on the idea of becoming one of the world's key PR networks.

SDPD officer seen in hair-pulling incident under investigation
Video appears to show officer pull woman by hair
SAN DIEGO - A distraught woman whose house was on fire -- and who was being pulled away from the fire by her husband -- had her hair pulled by a San Diego police officer in a videotaped incident that prompted an internal police investigation on Sunday.
San Diego police Lt. Andra Brown told U-T San Diego that "due to allegations arising from this incident, we are conducting an internal investigation into the matter," and because it was a personnel matter police could not make further comment.
The video, which was filmed by an editor for the Imperial Beach Patch, appears to show the officer trying to pull the woman's head to the street moments after she flailed and her open hand had passed within inches of the officer's face.
The incident occurred late Friday afternoon outside the smoldering house in the 2000 block of Ilex Avenue in Nestor.
The video appeared to show the officer, identified as San Diego police Officer Daniel McLaughlin, grabbing Torazzi Hayslett and pulling her back as she took off toward a group of firefighters outside the burning home.
A man identified by the publication as Hayslett's husband Alex grabbed ahold of his wife, who appears to swing her open hand repeatedly at the officer. It was unclear if she made contact.
After that, McLaughlin grabs the woman's hair, appearing to try to take her to the ground.
"He's operating on a lot of emotion because someone just took a swing at him, but I think you have to try and put yourself into the mind of someone whose house is burning down and realize they may not be in the state you hope they are," said former El Cajon police officer Kevin LaChapelle, who now works mentoring at-risk youth.
He said Hayslett is partly to blame as well.
"She clearly made a mistake trying to take a swing at a police officer," LaChapelle said. "You absolutely never do that even when emotions are flying. You have to control yourself."
Hayslett, a teacher, told the newspaper she believed the officer overreacted and she was in the process of hiring an attorney.
LaChapelle also said McLaughlin could have and should have handled the situation differently.
"It's best to maybe yell for an officer, 'Officer, come here and take care of this woman' and then he goes and handles something else," said LaChapelle. "That way, he positions himself in a much better place to handle this more objectively."
This is not the first time McLaughlin has faced accusations of improper conduct from a citizen. In March 2009, homeless advocate David Ross sued McLaughlin, saying the officer tackled him and kicked him. A jury found McLaughlin guilty of unreasonable conduct and awarded Ross $4,000 in damages that covered his medical bills.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- If you're pregnant, Mayo Clinic Health System has an application for your cell phone.
Mayo just launched the app called 'Mayo Clinic on Pregnancy,' a guide that details what to expect during pregnancy and then first few months of parenthood. You can enter your due date and receive weekly updates along with tips on staying healthy during the pregnancy.
Once the baby is born, the application provides information on everything from soothing the child to breast feeding. Doctors from Mayo developed the smart phone tool.
"There's photos they can reference, high quality photos that they can see for commonly scene conditions and help with some of the postpartum symptoms, postpartum blues or depression and kind of communicate those concerns with providers or even family members," said Dr. Gokhan Anil, an OB/GYN at Mayo Clinic Health System.
The app is free and available in the app store for Apple products. An Android version is in the works.

If you are having problems with an application that uses MDAC in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), you might need to re-install MDAC. As of this writing, a download and install is not available from Microsoft, so you must follow these instructions.
Right-click on C:\Windows\Inf\mdac.inf and choose "Install". When prompted for the XP SP2 media, point to the i386 folder in one of these places:
1. The i386 folder on the XP SP2 CDROM. If you are unlucky enough to have a CDROM that has XPSP2.EXE in the root of the CDROM, and no i386 folder, then you will have to create an i386 folder using a command like this, XPSP2.EXE /X:C:\XpSp2 Then point to C:\XpSp2\i386.
2. The i386 folder on a slipstreamed XP SP2 installation disc. When prompted for the XP installation media, point to the i386 folder in one of these places:
- C:\WindowsServicepackFiles\i386 (it may not like this location, if not, go to the next one)
- The i386 folder on your XP installation CDROM. This re-installs and repairs MDAC 2.8.

Starting Wednesday, under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, illegal immigrants who came as children can seek to stay legally under the Obama initiative.
Immigration authorities are bracing for a deluge of applications starting Wednesday when more than 1.2 million young illegal immigrants who were brought to America as children can seek to legally stay and work in the country under President Obama's most ambitious immigration initiative.
Even before the first request is filed, critics and advocates alike are warning of potential budget shortfalls and a logjam of paperwork that could mar the program, delay processing and facilitate fraud.
Advocacy groups have planned public celebrations, legal aid seminars and other events in major cities to herald a plan that has sparked rejoicing and relief in immigrant communities, and anger among Republicans who view it as a White House ploy for Latino support in an election year and a backdoor amnesty that usurps congressional authority.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which will review the applications, is expecting about 1.2 million applications on top of the 6 million it normally adjudicates for citizenship, residency and work visas every year, officials said. That's up from 800,000 expected when Obama announced the plan in June.

Holiday Giveaway: Win Dr. Perricone's Cold Plasma
UPDATE: We have a winner! Alex of 2ciaos has won! Alex, I'll be getting in touch with your pronto. In the meantime, much thanks to ALL of you for your fabulous beauty secrets, tips and comments. I'll be doing a full review of Cold Plasma to let you know if it is indeed the wonder product we've all dreamed about!
My recent obsession - cashmere and leather goods aside - is glowing, fabulous skin. The first thing you'll notice on the road to tightened pores and a smooth epidermis is that the journey can be quite costly. Frankly, I'm willing to pay nearly any price for flawless skin, and in my experience quality does require an investment. But one does have to be judicious with the brands they trust, and Dr. Perricone is a leader in the skincare field I trust my one and only face with without question.
That said, it is great pleasure I bring you the Life in a Venti Cup Holiday Perricone Promo. One lucky winner will win a full size Dr. Perricone Cold Plasma. This product has been at the top of my "must try" list for about two months now. The skin gods must have been listening to my inner wishes, because the lovely team at Perricone are sending me a sample to try as well (yay!). Here's what the lucky winner and I can expect to see with use of Cold Plasma:
"Formulated with Dr. Perricone's patented delivery system, Cold Plasma addresses the 10 most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, discoloration, redness, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness and loss of radiance."
Sounds like exactly what I'm seeking. So, ladies (and metrosexual gents), what are you waiting for? Let's have a contest! To do so, please leave a comment sharing with me your current skincare favorites. Tell me about the bottle you scrape clean because the priceless contents are so good. What do you splurge on that you swear works miracles? Are you Botoxing? What's your most secret of beauty secrets? Are you blessed with good genes and haven't given your skin more than a passing thought? Tell us. We promise not to hate you. :) The contest runs from today until December 24th at midnight CST. That's right. Christmas Eve. The winner will be announced Christmas Day and will receive their Perricone Cold Plasma shortly after. A late, albeit fabulous, gift!
In the meantime, be sure to read more about the product and visit the Perricone blog. Happy Holidays!
{Editorial note: If you haven't yet been hit by the Perricone bug, I suggest you read any one of his best selling books. I've been a devotee of his nutritional methods and dietary beliefs since I cracked the cover of his best selling Ageless Face, Ageless Mind. In short, you can't go around eating prepackaged foods and expect to look like a supermodel. If weight management and feeling vibrant aren't enough to motivate you - maybe a little vanity will be the kick in the pants you need to get with the program. Check out Amazon or your local library for any number of his game-changing books.}

Michigan State 10, Florida Atlantic 0 (4 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter)
A rainstorm is turning FAU's offense to mush, while Javon Ringer (178 yards, mid 3rd quarter), is the only bright offensive spot for the Spartans. It looks like Michigan State will pull off a win here against the Fighting Snellenberger's.
Illinois 17, Louisiana Lafayette 3 (4 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter)
Danny Dufrene is tearing up the Ragin' Caguns with 100 yards on the ground and a receiving touchdown. However, Juice Williams throwing accuracy is still questionable (9-18 passing).
Northwestern 26, Southern Illinois 7 (End of 3rd Quarter)
The Wildcats are hitting on all offensive cylinders and their defense has sacked the Saluki's four times for big losses. An easy early season schedule is going to give Northwestern a 4-0 record going into Big 10 play.
Iowa 3, Iowa State 3 (End of 3rd Quarter)
Oh boy, I can just hear the the air coming out of Iowa's Superiority Complex towards the Cyclone's. Stanzi is out as QB for Iowa because of his tremendous ineffectiveness and Christensen has taken the reins. Let's see what the much maligned Christensen can do.
Minnesota 28, Montana State 16 (4 minutes left in 3rd quarter)
Minnesota is riding Adam Weber's accurate arm to a lead over Montana (13-19, 177 yards and a TD)...If the Gophers can score again, new coach Tim Brewster will have tripled his win total from last year and avoided ugly upset losses.

I was driving in the rain the other day and it just seemed like the windshield wipers and the Frank Ocean song I was bumping were perfectly in sync. It then reminded me of the coolest commercial I ever seen. Peep.
10 Months ago, I attended a Stalley show at Skully's. What did I think of his performance? I don't know. Honestly I wasn't really hip to dude and was there only to catch LxE For The Uncool's set, so I left before he hit the stage. Well, a few things have changed since then. I did a little more research on the homie from Massillon. That would then lead to me downloading his latest effort, 'Lincoln Way Nights', which is masterminded by Columbus' own Rashad. After listening to that, I began to see what a couple of my friends had tried to tell me previously.
Man I can't lie, this video alone makes me want to hear this new Cons tape... He's been taking alot of shots at GOOD music and Kanye West latley. From the looks of this video, he made it clear he's still going to shoot at em..... Check it out
It was a crazy night for Sport fanatics as the NFL Draft coincided with the NBA, NHL Playoffs and The Royal Wedding 3 on 3 Invitational Tournament. This is the best time of the year. I thought I'd write a running NFL Draft Diary.
Warning: This is very long, so if you left something in the oven take it out now.
7:56pm ESPN scans the green room where we have 25 players waiting to get picked. Wait. There's only 32 picks in the 1st Round so that means some players will be relegated to tears at the end of the night. This has potential.
I had to walk away from the game for a minute.... Weak #TT, Slander, #thethirst, #lonelytweets were all becoming way too much for me... On top of that, domestic disputes really got the best of me... After a month layoff and getting rid of one of the best twitter pages in #columbustwitter history I had to come back and save the day... My team needs me, Columbus needs me, Twitter needs me..... Follow me @dez_arnez but do not ask for a follow back because you will get put on timeout for doing such a thing
GO COP ONE AT http://www.devonworks.com/ BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS WATCH IS GONNA RUN YOU AROUND 15 GRAND. (SHEEEEEEEEEEESH) DOPE A$$ WATCH THOUGH!!!
I know my Columbus, Ohio Facebook Sneakhead group will appreciate these big shout outs to yall pics. Courtesy of nicekicks.com.
Normally I wouldn't even give this website any love due to the fact that I have an open dispute with them, but fugg it, someone else might be interested.
You can find these fly stickers at www.kicks-crew.com. The stickers are, I believe five dollars individually and twenty dollars for the full set. Now you may just want to buy the whole set but this site is based out of hong kong and they charge roughly a min of thirty dollars for shipping. So, is it really worth it ?? NO but hey they look cool. If you decide to order them best of luck. But don't cancel your order because they keep 10% of your money. But enjoy the pics or take the plunge.

(WGEM) -- Thousands of Tri-State residents and businesses were affected by an AT&T outage Monday.
AT&T spokesperson Erin McGrath says the issue started just before 9 a.m. because of a third party transport provider problem.
Long distance phone service on land lines is still experiencing issues.
If you try dialing long distance, you'll hear the message "all circuits are busy".
Below is the statement from AT&T:
"Due to a cable cut caused by a third party, some AT&T customers in the Quincy area may be experiencing issues with wireline services. Technicians are working to repair the damage as quickly as possible and restore service. We apologize for this inconvenience."

(WMC-TV) - An Ole Miss fraternity is dealing with the consequences after they were found guilty of hazing.The university began investigating the Kappa Sigma fraternity and determined there were violations. Hoping to avoid sanctions, Kappa Sigma appealed, but the university upheld its decision and said there were violations of hazing and alcohol at the fraternity.The university did not release specific details of the hazing events at Kappa Sigma.The fraternity was also sanctioned. Kappa Sigma has to develop an alcohol education and anti-hazing plan, as well as not being allowed to be involved with social functions through next fall.No members of the fraternity wanted to talk to Action News 5 Wednesday.Other students said if students are going to get involved with a fraternity, they likely knew what they were getting into."If they want to get into the fraternity, they are going to opt to take it," said student Victoria Gross. "But for me, I'm not about to take nothing from nobody to get into a sorority."The Kappa Sigma chapter is allowed to stay on campus, but the university is looking at ways to tighten its control over fraternities.

My husband and I are currently staying at the Warwick Hotel in San Francisco for 9 nights while on business. We booked this hotel specifically because of the wonderful memories I had of staying at the Warwick New York City, another branch of the official International Warwick chain of "boutique"-style hotels. Unfortunately, immediately upon entering the front lobby - a tiny room off the sidewalk guarded by two glass doors which one must awkwardly open outward whilst struggling with luggage, etc - which consisted solely of a generic, cheap looking reception desk and not much else. Seated in this strange, blandly decorated and almost dismally lit space was a casually dressed woman with no name tag, who gave us no greeting whatsoever and while checking us in - for NINE nights - treated us with absolutely no respect beyond that you would give a stranger asking for the time. After somewhat rudely informing us that she required $75 for a "deposit" (duh - just do it), she ran our credit card and read us a room number, closing with "the ice machines are broken so you have to come downstairs if you want ice." Charming.
Exhausted, we arrived to our room to find that the door was completely ajar... which though presumably accidental was obviously alarming and a lack of proper preparation on the staff's end. We knew the rooms were tiny, so that didn't bother us much, but upon settling in we noticed a few really basic things seemed "off". First, there was no room service menu, because, as I found out when I called the same woman at the front desk after she had to check with her superior because she "wasn't sure", there IS NO ROOM SERVICE. Also missing from the room were standard motel-grade materials like basic pieces of literature as to where to eat, what to do with laundry, etc., etc., There was literally nothing in the room aside from a bed, an armoire, two tiny tables and a couple obviously not complimentary bottles of water. No instructions or list of amenities to be found. Too tired to care, we dropped the cause and went to wall greens and had a dinner of Pita chips and cheap wine.
I'm appalled that this "newly renovated" building has somehow succeeded at passing itself off as worthy of the Warwick name, a hotel chain I had once thought to be strictly associated with small scale, boutique-style elegance, at which the personal and exceptional service, unique aesthetic beauty and "one of a kind" rooms and locations within their respective cities made staying at any other "flashly", "central", "famous" or notoriously pricey hotel seem flashy and tasteless.
I cannot speak for the rest of the locations in North America or Worldwide as of yet, but let it be known, as the trip advisor site and score for this hotel was recently relaunched and completely wiped due to the renovations, that most certainly in terms of personnel, staff, and overall "experience" this hotel falls fall short of what I would expect not only of the Warwick name, but thus far, of just about any roadside Marriot or Days Inn I've ever been to - at least there they smile and say "Welcome, Mr. so and so!" and smile at you when they hand you your door key to your $69 suite. No such luck here - and we shelled out a pretty dime for our 9 nights. As far as the facilities go, again, underwhelmed. It seems haphazardly designed without any thought as to any semblance of creating consistent interior aesthetic/ambience - as artwork, furniture, electronics and fixtures all seem carelessly and mindlessly thrown together in haste - and seem to nonsensically encompass aesthetic / artistic styles that span nearly 400 to 500 years, with absolutely no thought present behind the juxtaposition among them, which is immediately clear to even the most un-trained eye. Basically, the room looks "weird". To add insult to injury, surface space like table tops and counters are extremely limited - making it difficult to store or even put down one's most basic luggage items anywhere but the middle of the floor - while in our experience, unnecessarily and disproportionally HUGE pieces of furniture (a victorian armoire?!) occluded a significant portion of the room and were of no storage value whatsoever on the inside or outside - which in addition to eating up essential spatial real-estate in a room that already has extremely little to begin with - seems almost like a conscious lack of effort to optimize space in a logical and practical manner. The comical size, mismatched style and total impracticality of use of the armoire in our tiny room didn't help to not add insult to injury, either. Perhaps Federal-style a Desk, with a chair, would be nice? A table? Set of Chairs? Hell, anything.
I sit here writing this review having not finished our stay, and should my experience continue to deteriorate over the week or somehow rally, I will amend the review as such, as I have no intention of flaming my former-favorite hotel chain in the world, even if this favoritism was based solely on my NYC experience and on the fanciful narratives, descriptions, and reputation that the Warwick name carries.
This place is no Warwick. I don't know what this is.

Race against time for Bulger mum's petition
James Bulger's mother will plead with a parole board later this month not to release one of her son's killers.
Denise Fergus fears if John Venables is released he could kill again. He was sent back to prison for breaking the conditions of his release.
Denise is also pleading for support for a petition to try to stop criminals profiting from their crimes.
She's worried James's killers could end up with compensation if it's proved that journalists hacked their phones.
The petition must close on Saturday - thousands of signatures are still needed.
She spoke to Granada Reports presenter Lucy Meacock, and began by telling her why her petition is so important to her.

Xbox 720 Unveiled? Images and Specs
What the hell? Take this one with a heaping of skepticism, but there are now several reports flying around that the Xbox 720 (to be called simply "Xbox") will be unveiled in next month's issue of Xbox World Magazine.
"The dev kits have already been used and is said to have a CPU with "four hardware cores, each divided into four logical cores." It will also have 8 GB of RAM, Kinect 2.0, Television output and input, directional audio, and best of all Augmented Reality."
"Editor in chief Dan Dawkins told CVG: "Xbox World has been at the cutting edge of Durango coverage for over 12 months. Unless something really dramatic changes, everything we reveal in our penultimate issue will be revealed long before E3 in June."
via www.at7addak.com
Thoughts? The industry is obviously no stranger to detailed mock-ups when a new console generation is looming. I still remember a fantastic looking PS3 design based on a toaster. But Xbox World Magazine seem to be really sticking to their guns on this one.

Suffocating protest over Tesco coffee plan
Posted: September 20, 2012|
CAMPAIGNERS have distanced themselves from a controversial art performance in support of the Save Whitstable Shops campaign.
About 15 adults put Tesco carrier bags over their heads while standing outside the former Clinton Cards shop, which could be transformed into a branch of coffee chain Harris and Hoole. Tesco has a 49 per cent share of the company.
The performers laughed loudly before slumping to the floor, as if suffocating, in front of stunned shoppers on Sunday afternoon.
Oxford Street Books owner Brian Hitcham, who started the Save Whitstable Shops Facebook campaign, said the stunt was nothing to do with him.
He added: "I'm sure their intention was very good but I don't feel it added anything to the campaign. Someone posted a 10-second video of it on our Facebook page but people complained so we took it down.
"A lady said she had been telling her children not to put carrier bags over their heads because it was dangerous and the protest was irresponsible.
"The people doing it said it was art, as part of Whitstable Biennale. I suppose it could be argued it was art but I'm no expert."
Biennale spokesman Simon Steven said the performance was not an official part of the event but may have been linked to fringe festival The Satellite.
Rob Morris, owner of iS-2-Gallery in Horsebridge Road, said the campaign to save Whitstable's independent shops from the threat of competition from national chains and from rent rises was going from strength to strength.
He said: "We've got more than 600 "likes" on our Facebook page now. As far as I'm aware all the independent shops are involved."
Traders were due to meet in private on Tuesday evening and hoped to hold a public meeting soon as well as launching paper and online petitions.

Why not a 50/50 snap on Modern UI?
It obviously won't let me do a split screen snap, only 80/20. I'm sure Microsoft has a reason for this. Does anyone know what it is? I'm just getting started in Windows 8 and not many apps have use for me in snapped mode.
I think a 50/50 snap would be useful, especially on a widescreen tablet.

CONCORD — A coalition of opponents is renewing efforts to fend off casino gambling, as new licensing proposals emerge at the Statehouse.
The Casino Free NH group is organizing a press conference Tuesday that is expected to include the New Hampshire Council of Churches, business leaders and state lawmakers.
"They know we've already filed a bill for next session," said Rep. Robert Elliott, R-Salem, a casino proponent.
Elliott and Rep. Gary Azarian, R-Salem, are among a bipartisan group of 10 lawmakers bringing forward a revised version of the Senate-passed casino plan the House rejected last session.
Elliott said their bill would include a series of regulatory improvements, some emerging from a study commission this fall and others proposed, but not taken up, by the full House last spring.
"This would clean up Senate Bill 152 and all its flaws," Elliott said.
Their bill envisions a bigger role in policing a casino for both state police and the attorney general, he said.
At the same time, it wouldn't rule out multiple casinos for New Hampshire.
"Our intention is to use this bill as a forerunner, not excluding the possibility of having a casino in some other part of the state," Elliott said.
Beyond the 10 lawmakers whose names will be on the bill are another 75 who support the plan, Elliott said.
Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester, meanwhile, is separately proposing to license as many as six gambling venues.
Rep. Marjorie Smith, D-Durham, a longtime opponent of casino gambling who has been allied with Casino Free NH, said the press conference will include a whole group of individuals and organizations.
"My concerns have always been the same, show me the money," she said. "If the state is going to get into this business, show me the benefit to the state."

New solar cell would self-repair like natural plant systems
January 5, 2011
Researchers are creating a new type of solar cell designed to self-repair like natural photosynthetic systems in plants by using carbon nanotubes and DNA, an approach aimed at increasing service life and reducing cost.
"We've created artificial photosystems using optical nanomaterials to harvest solar energy that is converted to electrical power," said Jong Hyun Choi, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue Univ.
The design exploits the unusual electrical properties of structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes, using them as "molecular wires in light harvesting cells," said Choi, whose research group is based at the Birck Nanotechnology and Bindley Bioscience centers at Purdue's Discovery Park.
"I think our approach offers promise for industrialization, but we're still in the basic research stage," he said.
Photoelectrochemical cells convert sunlight into electricity and use an electrolyte to transport electrons and create the current. The cells contain light-absorbing dyes called chromophores, chlorophyll-like molecules that degrade due to exposure to sunlight.
"The critical disadvantage of conventional photoelectrochemical cells is this degradation," Choi said.
The new technology overcomes this problem just as nature does: by continuously replacing the photo-damaged dyes with new ones.
"This sort of self-regeneration is done in plants every hour," Choi said.
The new concept could make possible an innovative type of photoelectrochemical cell that continues operating at full capacity indefinitely, as long as new chromophores are added.
The carbon nanotubes work as a platform to anchor strands of DNA. The DNA is engineered to have specific sequences of building blocks called nucleotides, enabling them to recognize and attach to the chromophores.
"The DNA recognizes the dye molecules, and then the system spontaneously self-assembles," Choi said
When the chromophores are ready to be replaced, they might be removed by using chemical processes or by adding new DNA strands with different nucleotide sequences, kicking off the damaged dye molecules. New chromophores would then be added.
Two elements are critical for the technology to mimic nature's self-repair mechanism: molecular recognition and thermodynamic metastability, or the ability of the system to continuously be dissolved and reassembled.
The research is an extension of work that Choi collaborated on with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Univ. of Illinois. The earlier work used biological chromophores taken from bacteria.
However, using natural chromophores is difficult, and they must be harvested and isolated from bacteria, a process that would be expensive to reproduce on an industrial scale, Choi said.
"So instead of using biological chromophores, we want to use synthetic ones made of dyes called porphyrins," he said.

Ever since the demise of The City we've been jonesing for our Joe Zee TV fix, which is why we've been eagerly awaiting his new show "All On The Line", which is set to air this spring on the Sundance Channel. Thankfully, Zee posted a preview of the show to Facebook, which follows the Elle creative director as he works with struggling designers to revamp — and monetize — their lines.
When we first heard about the show, we likened it to Project Runway — but with actual buyers instead of celebrity judges. Zee seems to feel the same way.
"Sundance viewers are very savvy. This show is no nonsense. This show is not a game. It isn't about the elimination of contestants. You get to see an inside view of how the design process works and how concept goes to reality."
But the show isn't without Zee signature bon mots. Take, for example, this exchange between Zee and a designer.
Zee: "I know you love a slutty fabric…"
Designer: "I prefer 'sexy'."
Zee: "Well, the difference between slutty and sexy is three more inches on your dress."
