It has HDMI, but does it have HDCP?
Also, is 300W really enough to run a quad with 4gb ram?
Not that glamourous
Pretty much the same as many of the other models.
I've had a few Shuttles and they were fine, the main problem is lack of space for disks. They could at least provide the option to use laptop drives? especially now that these flash hard disks are getting popular.
Glamorous, huh?
This looks like a UPS, no great styling and too much writing on the front ... more chav glam than designer glam!
No thanks, especially at that price.
Isnt HDCP a requirement i.e. part of the specification of HDMI. Only DVI comes with or without, to the best of my knowledge.

Google taps Gmail for more clicks with ad tweak
I like the ads
I have a Google Apps Pemier subscription with the adverts TURNED ON!
I actually find them useful, if I'm interested in a topic, google serves up relevant adverts which on many occasions have presented with the information or products I'm looking for, even saved me money by directing me to another site.
Google to mobile industry: 'F*ck you very much!'
El Reg - Time to listen huh!
Quit with the Google is evil crap...
Sure they do the odd bad thing, so do all mayor corp' but they also do a lot of good things, unlike a lot of said same major corp'.
Just try (for once) to be unbiased towards Google ok???????
Yes I am a Google fan Boy...so sue me!
Gmail users howl over Halloween outage
Only interested in bad news about Google?
Funny that I only ever hear bad news (or at least recently) about Google here, not a mention in the last couple of weeks about Google's 3rd quarter results, Jaguar Land Rover and the City of Los Angeles both going Google...all of these have mysteriously gone unreported.
A day in the life of an email manager

There's no escaping the cloud
@ Scott 70
No I don't expect all IT departments to go to the cloud and I accept that my target market will find it easier to move over to it. perhaps if companies with an 'Infrustructure of magnitude to maintain' may also find it cost effective to move to the cloud.
However there are real advantages for moving to the cloud (fully or partly) for organisations of all sizes and many are implementling roll outs of 10's of thousands of users.
All i'm saying is to dismiss it out of hand is a tad short-sighted.
Protectionist are we?
It would be interesting to find out how many of the 'cloud is bad' brigade are working in IT positions which would be under threat if their employer moved to the cloud.
I for one say 'Cloud is Good'

Hard-up OpenOffice whips out begging-cap website
Hamburg-based open-source project OpenOffice will embark upon a major fundraising campaign this week to defend itself against a looming shutdown. On Wednesday a new website will be launched with many donation options, spokesperson Andreas Jäger told The Register: "The organisation will also look for a major investor, but one …
All the open office developers who didn't want to be with Oracle, left to form Libre Office.
The thing that distinguishes those still with Open Office is that they wanted to stay with Oracle.
Now Oracle don't want them... what distinguishes them? That they still don't want to join with Libre Office even though they were right?
OpenOffice is dead
World+dog moved to LibreOffice, so OpenOffice can maybe merge into LibreOffice and donate their name to them? Or just shut it down.
Nice fail from Oracle (again)
Does LibreOffice even want the OpenOffice name?
With the compulsory .org suffix, OpenOffice.org was never exactly the world's greatest trademark.
"Nice fail from Oracle (again)"
I disagree. The only fail I see here on Oracle's part is waiting as long as they did to let go of OpenOffice. Hold those downvotes a minute and hear me out.
Oracle deals in enterprise level databases and other such beasts rarely seen outside of a server room. Their customers are either part of or make decisions for corporate IT departments. They have a history of being somewhat hostile towards FOSS.
OpenOffice, on the other hand, is an office suite. It's target audience are mostly non-technical minded users (yes geeks use it, but geeks are the minority of users with any office suite). And it is FOSS.
In short, OpenOffice and Oracle were never a good match. I honestly expected Oracle to lock it up and try to charge for it or dump it into the community's hands within a couple months of their aquisition of Sun.
Not going to downvote you but
"I honestly expected Oracle to lock it up and try to charge for it or dump it into the community's hands within a couple months of their aquisition of Sun"
If they had tried the first option it would have been a fail. If they went for the second option then they would have come out smelling of roses.
But they didn't did they?
They went for option three, act like a bunch of control freak arsewipes and try and browbeat the community into line.
Of course that strategy blew right up Larry's face which is what makes it a massive fail.
@Goat Jam
Yeah, that's why waiting as long as they did was a fail.
They should remerge with LibreOffice now that Orable (spelling intentional) have stomped off to more profitable climes.
I thought the whole reason for the split was Oracle? LibreOffice have the devs, and OpenOffice have the better name, so I would have thought a remerge would be a no-brainer.
I think that LibreOffice is a very nice name. The LibreOffice folks forked the project for a very good reason, would they even want to absorb the developers who stayed with Oracle and the OpenOffice project?
I can't quite figure this out, hopefully someone else has been paying better attention than me. When Oracle "gave" OO.o to the Apache foundation, did they also transfer the trademark? The website still seems to indicate [http://about.openoffice.org/index.html#logo] that Oracle own the name.
Can you really trust them not to force another split somewhere down the line by exercising legal control over the use of the name? The development community itself spoke pretty clearly when LibreOffice became the preferred branch of the project, and the decimated carcass of OO.o still appears to have Oracle's claws hanging onto it. Is it time for OpenOffice.org to die?
My winging users hated OpenOffice ...
.... 'cos it wasn't MS Office. Now that the wingers have decided they don't like the ribbon either, they've been really happy with this LibreOffice I've given them - "it's so much better than that awful OpenOffice". (*cough*)
We know it's the same thing, but the users don't know that. OOo has taken the flack for being a poor rip-off, but now that LibreOffice is actually *good enough* for most people let the name stay, and let OOo die. It's no different to the rest of the software industry: Killing off Vista when the "All New" (*cough*) Windows 7 came out. Or the iPhoneN when the iPhoneN+1 came out.
I do think the developers should re-merge and make an even better product, but don't give Oracle any change to mess about with the name. Just leave it be.
Your users can fly? Amazing!
given sufficient thrust, users will fly just fine
... time for another BOfH episode !
No, they don't fly, they want to be ginger .....
5. wannabe ginger. person who dyes their hair ginger and calls themselves ginger, but they aren't a natural ginge.
Given the right motivation...
... they don't exactly fly but with a good impulse some of them make it past the broken glass skip...
Our users manage to fly in the face of logic almost constantly.
Does the leader of your winging users look like Brian Blessed and have a booming voice?
Something New Now?
Maybe instead of reverse engineering Microsoft Office, someone will actually create something original that deserves to survive in the market place.
People need something that can make head & tails of unstable .doc and .docx files, so that basically fills the work schedule up with reverse-engineering. For a lot of people, the only time they need Word is to fill in .doc job application forms or periodic report forms; say a science student will be using LaTeX for their actual work.
What original thing you need in what is essentially a runaway typewriter? Integration with another program in the suite -- ah no that's the same as Office.
"We have been going after the competitors for too long, instead of really focusing on the needs of the user. Now that we are free we can change that."
Glad to hear that the focus is going to change. M$' UI ideas these past several years are stupid and difficult to use. The FOSS people should not emulate them.
When it comes to UI's then its kinda hard to discuss IMO since much of that is based on personal preferences. I've been working with MS Office 2010 for a while now and can't say I really dislike the Ribbon interface. Its more of a pull down menu put horizontal.
However, I do think that LibeOffice has some catching up to do when it comes to functionality. In its basic form L.O. is perfectly usable for common issues; word processing, spreadsheets; no question about it that it can easily cope.
But when it comes to some of the extra's then I think its lacking a bit. For example; I'm working on a study and I'm collecting information from different sources on the Net. MS Office doesn't only provides plenty of means to collect all this pieces of information, you can also easily link those to your other office documents for quick reference. OpenOffice never had something like that, while it can actually be very useful.
And although LibreOffice has a decent macro editor, its not very fun to use if you want to create custom dialogs. Its doable, but... ugh.
So in that aspect I'm not too sure about not going after the competitors any longer. There's much more besides a UI to cope with.
You can also easily link those to your other office documents
That is a double edged sword.
Because users fail to grasp the concept of linking they often get tripped up by send other people copies of their documents that are full of broken links.
For christ sake, users have still not come to terms with the whole ridiculous "drive letter" bullshit that MS are YET to divest themselves off.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen idiot users send out emails with "links" to h:\My Documents\some_file_in_comic_sans_font.docx and then wonder why nobody else can read it.
Here's a question. Does anyone here think that Microsoft will *ever* get past that drive letter idiocy?
Lotus Symphony
Seems to be a hacked down version of Open Office. Or maybe an unnatural merging of Open Office and *gasp* Lotus Word Pro. Whatever it is, it is slower than a Eurocrat on summer vacation.
I use OO for personal use (because it is free) but head for the Dark Side and use Word for business since the powers won't give me a real word processor using Dog's Language-- SGML (for the unwashed masses, SGML is to word processing like assembler is to writing code).
Lotus Word Pro
The crap that Lotus managed to make from Ami Pro, a beautiful and very effective word prpcessor, first WYSIWYG one too IIRC.
@petur: " ...crap...from...Ami Pro"
Ami Pro, while being a pretty good product, was, at first, a WSINWYW product. I was going to say that Easy Writer was the first WYSWIG product, but in a bout of honesty and painful recollection, I have to say, with all due respect to past friends on the west coast, it was much more of WYSINFG.
Hopefully they can make a redirect page to LibreOffice or the Document Foundation
Personally I find LibreOffice to be a nice and suiting name, and with it as pointed out you just make sure to never get into any legal issues.
It's really hard to understand the motivations of such people to continue with Oo now that Oracle has dumped them. Why can't they just join in the LibreOffice effort? Because they want to lead or be chairmen or such or what??? Because they like Java or are attached to the Oo name? There is an opportunity here to make LibreOffice happen really, and it is, as I'm seeding the latest release and the tracker shows 18 000 downloads which is great, not counting all the downloads from their d/l page. Yet so many people just don't know what has happened and continue to use Oo out of habit...
You can only wish those developers will come to their senses and make their Oo website redirect to LibreOffice and give Oo a rest once and for all. Move on.
Help your users, IF that is your intentions...
Offer a "one-click" migration path to your users to move from Open to Libre, say thank you to Larry for his support, "donate" the name to Oracle, have a keg party...
Ditch the OpenOffice brand, it wasn't a great brand and its been poisoned by Larry
Reminder to self
Uninstall openoffice (LibreOffice). It is bloated, slow, and of no value to me as I never use it.
Thanks for reminding me about that Reg.
Not going to work I think...
Not to generalize but apart from the people who really went for the freedom part of the deal there are also plenty of OpenOffice users who simply picked it up because they didn't want to pay for an Office suite which they hardly used. An occasional letter is also easily made with OpenOffice.
So I'm not too sure that this will catch on. I have to agree with some of the other posts; most OpenOffice users have most likely already bailed. Either to MS Office or LibreOffice.
Or maybe KOffice ;-)
LibreOffice is a tremendous product
We have a great deal of experience with it since we dumped Microsoft's products 15 years ago. used Star Office and it was pretty rough but we stuck it out and when Open Office started out we switched. We became members of the now defunct ODF. The fork of OO.o to libreOffice was the best thing to happen to it. Currently we are running LibreOffice 3.4.3 - OOO340m1 (Build:302) in aptosid 64bit Linux with the KDE GUI. We never did like Oracle or its attempt to dominate the world. So for us its LibreOffice all the way. It helps to actually learn something about a product before panning it. Like all software... it will be strange and difficult if you are use to something different.
No surprise there... People who are use to MS office are going to find it alien. but all I am saying from using it for a long time... it actually has legs and we think it is going to win in the end... it is a world standard now..
I'll take none of the above
It's SoftMaker Office 2012 for me. MS, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice should ask themselves how a small team of 20 Germans could quietly create the best office suite in existence.
OpenOffice.org is already dead
I'll raise my glass to the OpenOffice.org team, great work guys, but putting more money into OpenOffice.org is now a waste of time. Let it RIP. With a year of success under it, LibreOffice has assumed the mantle now, and has the proper international support that OpenOffice.org never had due to it being owned by Sun which held back development. LibreOffice at this point is massively accelerating now that it is independent. In contrast, OpenOffice.org has only had confusion and doubt behind it the previous year. OpenOffice.org is now the equivalent of "Vista" as a brandname.
To top that off, MS has begun to surrender to open standards as well and natively supports OpenDocument format anyway, so it's probably a matter of time until they ditch OOXML, since it's expensive to maintain a semi-ISO/semi-proprietary format on your own, and stockholders don't like wasted money. They should dedicate a employee or two to the OpenDocument committee, and then reallocate the other employees currently assigned to OOXML to something more productive. It is already shaping up that going forward, there will be a choice of MS Office or LibreOffice (or KOffice, or the others) for the front end, but the underlying documents will all be OpenDocument. (except possibly in the US)
The day Microsoft uses ODF exclusively
is the same day they ditch the DOS drive letter convention, and switch completely to a *NIX-like kernel. I just don't see it happening. After all, they have a 90%+ market share to maintain, and giving people the option to switch to another office suite just isn't in their shareholder's interests.
Well MS already supports ODF (required for international contracts) and corporations are always looking to reduce resources (read headcount). If they have to support ODF anyway to get international sales, and if they can layoff/reallocate resources, then they'll do it to keep stockholders happy. It ain't religion, it's simply business. Theoretically, people are already free to switch office suites, since there no longer is a proprietary format either. OOXML (if MS complies with it's ISO spec) is basically open as well. Better to position your product as the high end and still get sales, then to get it ultimately whacked on ISO technicalities. MS is nothing if not pragmatic long term.
Trivia fact (good for a pint, it's Friday after all)- MS is already on a semi-Nix kernel since NT3.1 20 years ago. It's partly based on Mach Microkernel. One distant cousin is another famous OS - Apple's OSX. :)
OpenOffice is alive and well and living at Apache
Unfortunately this article was very poorly researched and is completely misleading and many of the comments listed here are lacking in the understanding of some important nuance.
The Project formally known as OpenOffice.org is a combination of community members/developers. a copyrighted codebase, a group of related trademarks and some infrastructure to facilitate community interaction and code download (and a few other bits and pieces). Oracle donated the code and trademark and websites et al to the Apache foundation where it is now incarnated as Apache OpenOffice. It is what is referred to as a podling for the time being and a community of developers which includes some significant corporate support (which will be growing in numbers and diversity), are hard at work on doing a lot of code clean up, adding new features, and will soon be integrating the very large code donation from IBM's Symphony project.
TeamOpenOffice, the Hamburg group referred to in the article, was originally set up as a means of collecting donations to support things like conferences. Much of these donations came in from a "donate here" button which encourages paypall donations. Because of circumstances this group has been cut off from that source of funding. Furthermore members of that group wish to do active programing in support of the OpenOffice project, which is a great thing that I support enthusiastically. However, they do not represent the OpenOffice project at Apache, Their financial situation and plaintive request does not reflect on the health of the Apache project, and they do not have rights to use the OpenOffice.org trademark and their use of it, and the resulting confusion, is completely inappropriate.
I attended the Libre Office conference in Paris last week. There is a great group of people there doing some great work. They have a slightly different focus than the Apache OpenOffice project has. This is fine, and in many ways healthy. At the conference we had many very constructive discussion about how to cooperate and compliment our respective initiatives. There will be a lot of new technology going into Apache OpenOffice over the next 6 months and we very much encourage the Libre Office community to leverage it as much as possible.
There are some very exciting things going on at Apache OpenOffice. After we get through some rather tedious legal reviews, license and code realignment and remediation etc...Lots of really exciting innovation is planned and the project will continue to deliver new value to the market. We are hopeful that Libre Office, Team OpenOffice (or what ever they end up calling themselves) and anyone else will be able to take advantage of the technology and package it for businesses and consumers alike.
Open Office is alive and well and living at Apache. We are doing some very interesting, exciting and innovative work. All are welcome to join in and help.

September Chit Chat
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-01-2011 - 3:27pm
Ok thought i would start a September board..
|Thu, 09-01-2011 - 7:33pm
Chris-looking forward to your update tomorrow..
|Fri, 09-02-2011 - 8:27am
Chris- Can you believe its September already? You don't have too much longer:smileywink: To answer your question......no I did not have an anterior placenta w/DD. That's why it freaks me out so much. W/ DD I felt her pretty early considering it was my 1st pregnancy and she had a "schedule" by now. With the anterior placenta, it acts as a pillow between you and the baby. The u/s tech said that I will start to feel more in a couple of weeks. My friend had this and she didn't feel anything until 22 weeks.
Peanut- wow! that will be a big baby! Big babies are soooooo cute though:smileywink:I am "trying" to make this one not as big as DD was though (10lbs4oz).....if that's even possible. After she was born we had a scare w/ her blood sugar. How accurate do you think the u/s is? I heard the same thing about sperm.......so if your up to it by then go for it:smileyhappy:
|Fri, 09-02-2011 - 11:20pm
peanut4beans- My good friend just had a 9 lb, 14 oz. baby vaginally. It was her first, but her labor was only 6 hours and she pushed him out in 4 pushes. The Dr. said that if they'd known how big he'd be, he would have recommended a C-sec., but she got him out just fine. So hard to know how it will all go though! He measured under 9 lbs. on the U/S the week before....it's all such a guessing game!
|Sat, 09-03-2011 - 12:01pm
They asked me how I want to deliver this time and I have not decided yet. I figure the babies will probably decide for me (if not in position, I'll have to have a repeat c-section). If a vaginal birth looks possible I'll be tempted to try, knowing it's possible I'll have to have a c-section anyway.
No matter how a baby is delivered the only thing that matters is that mom and baby are healthy.
|Tue, 09-06-2011 - 8:50am
AFM - I see the Peri again tomorrow so probably will get another estimate on the size. I go every week now until delivery. Baby seems to really kick it into high gear between 2am-4am, and the kicks are not so gentle anymore - lol.
Sarah - I've never known anyone personally who delivered twins vaginally. I honestly didn't think they even let you try because of the possible risks involved. My friend was pg with twins last year and she knew from the getgo that she was having a c-section and didn't even get an option. You'll know what is best for you and the babies and go with that.
Hope everyone had a great long weekend...
|Tue, 09-06-2011 - 12:54pm
Peanut- I wish your little guy would let you get some sleep! All that kicking, but at least you know he's doing well! One of my friends had her twins vaginally, but they were both head down, so that made it less risky than other presentations. I'm thankful that my hospital is a teaching/research hospital so is more comfortable with this type of thing, but know in most areas I wouldn't have the option.
Caryn- Sorry about your dog, that is always so hard. I do love Chihuahuas, they are really sweet, DH had a bad experience though and won't let me get one. I have little advice for ditching the bedtime bottle- I'm very guilty of this with the boys, it's the only way to get them down without screaming. I guess just go for it and see how it goes, my first actually took it pretty well, but he had been used to nursing and then being put down, so maybe that made losing the bottle easier. If she seems to really be struggling maybe give it a bit more time, IMHO mama knows better than doctor ;)
AFM- Labor day weekend was full of work! Did a lot of cleaning in the garage, set up our new aquarium and DH hurt his foot so I was doing most of the baby care. I'm 14 ½ weeks, feeling pretty good other than the killer headaches I've been having. Appointment this Friday, and scheduling for my anatomy scan- Super excited for that.
|Tue, 09-06-2011 - 11:03pm
Peanut/housewifey~ I know 3 different people who had their twins vaginally. It's actually fairly common where I live...but my hospital only has a 15% c-sec rate and a 50% epideral rate. I think it's getting to be more and more common these days...depends on the Dr. though and the facility. I hope it all goes as you'd like housewifey!
AFM~ I am just doing the DHEA right now. We are planning a Nov. cycle...prob. around Thanksgiving. Looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time...you know how that is!
Take care all!
|Thu, 09-08-2011 - 9:04am
Trr16 - can't wait to follow you through your November cycle. It will be here before ya know it!
Sarah - Wow, sounds like you had one busy weekend! Looking forward to your u/s update. I watched a 'Baby Story' yesterday and there was a couple who had 5 children under the age of 4 and it reminded me of what your househould will be like - busy, busy:)
Chris - Hope all is well with you.
Havinfaith - You and me with these 'big' babies - Ha. Hopefully, this go around we can both get just a 'wee bit' smaller one. I was at the store with my teenager this weekend buying diapers. I picked up the 'newborn' size, and she looked at me and said "Really Mom, those will never fit", so I put them down and got a size 1 - lol.
AFM - Not much going on this week. Next week OB appt, and another growth scan.

- Process Control/Improvement
- Design of Experiment
- Analytics
Process Control/Improvement (PI)I recently went to a mixer at the University of Washington for current ChE grad students to meet with alumni in industry. People were surprised I made the transition to business and especially when I mentioned that my ChE thesis was in process control. "Oh god," the reaction would typically begin, "All I remember is all the Fourier & Laplace Transforms and I lost interest." This was disappointing, as Process Control/Improvement is one of the most useful concepts I learned in ChE and one that I've been able to apply time and time again in business. A central Buddhism tenant is that suffering comes from struggling with what is (article). Much of our lives are spent trying to enact change, and process control (in practice) lays out the perfect framework:
What you hope to effect = what you have control over + what you don't + what you don't even know
Controlled Variable (CV) = what you hope to effect
Manipulated Variable (MV) = what you have control over
Disturbance Variable (DV) = what you don't have control over
CV = f(MV,DV) + unknownProcess Control is really about improving what you have control over and understanding what you don't have control over, given your resources. Remember our AT&T case from last time? Customers were leaving due to poor customer service. Better plans didn't affect customer retention, so it would have a negligible effect on churn.
Design of Experiment (DOE)Before tackling any project, it's worth using Design of Experiment to validate: "Do the resources and levers I have at my disposal have any effect on changing my Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?" Let's say I want to increase revenue for my wholesale distribution system. Using the marketing material balance:
ΔCustomersin - ΔCustomersout = ΔCustomersAccumulatedMy customer retention could be better, so I've asked a multidisciplinary team to brainstorm on solutions:
- Twitter / Facebook campaign
- Account management practice
- Quality control (on-time & error-free delivery rates)
- Product offerings
- Etc.
- Effectiveness
- Cost
- Time to implement
Healthcare ExampleTypical CVs & MVs in healthcare are patient outcomes and revenue (CVs) to staff and patient beds (MVs). If you hit a bottleneck, hire or build. In an increasing competitive and cash strapped environment, these are fewer available MVs (article). Process control teaches us that MVs can number 1 to n with varying degrees of bang for your buck. Creativity, innovation, "boot strapping" (a favorite venture capitalist & entrepreneur term) can come from asking the question"What can I do with what I have?" or "What MVs do I have at my disposal?" Your CVs become your strategic objectives and your MVs are the resources that you can bring to bear that can actually make a difference in your CVs.
AnalyticsMost engineers in business school find that if they could understand systems of differential equations in undergrad, business analytics should be quite easy by comparison. The analysis techniques I most frequently use for my clients in industry come from the following core topics:
- Statistics [is this data meaningful?]
- Multivariate analysis [how do I use data to predict behavior?]
- Time-series analysis [how does behavior change with time?]
- Optimization [how do I maximize KPIs given constraints?]
When have you used your ChE background as a corporate mechanic?

Militants - are they for real?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 04-14-2009 - 6:59pm
Someone on another board posted this link.
It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.
Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".
Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?
|Tue, 04-14-2009 - 7:31pm
I can't stand Dr. Laura. I tried to read the article, but just couldn't get past the 3rd paragraph or so. Unfortunately, I do believe that "some" of the militants are serious. I find it sad that mothers that fall into this category can't figure out that there's just more than one way to skin a cat (or, in this case, raise children).
FWIW, I have only met militants here -- although I did have one co-worker (many years ago) who asked me how I could put my babies in dc. What really bothers me about the msahm that posts here is that they have no regard for the fact that I've been a parent for over 17 years -- with 3 children (and now one sd in the mix). I pretty sure I know what I'm doing by now, LOL!
|Wed, 04-15-2009 - 3:27am
This ding-dong bugs me no end. She reminds me of Anne Coulter in the way she rambles along her illogical "arguments."
Her line here is one used by many MSAHMs who have posted here over the years. The argument is all about what MOM will miss/lose if she is not there for snugglebun's "adowable" hugs, kisses, first steps yadda-yadda. Ding-dong puts it this way:
"What people need to learn is that it's not about the drudgery of housework — it's about being at home for all of those incredible moments that make your life more valuable than the person who replaced you at work."
This is then wrapped up with the conclusion: "Kids who don't have moms suffer a lifetime." How that logically follows from mom missing out has never been clear to me, and so far no MSAHM I have come across has been able to explain it satisfactorily. Not to mention that children with WOH mothers DO have mothers.
Edited 4/15/2009 3:29 am ET by rollmops2009
|Wed, 04-15-2009 - 5:55am
I don't think the articles gives enough information so, it's hard to give a general opinion on what Dr. Laura may be thinking.
>>Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?<<
I think many are very serious, but I don't take them too seriously. It's all food for thought.

I had one JS conflict with the module (not required) when I was playing with it, but it's not a big deal since I'm not using it...BUT I've read their forums and noted others having had a similar problem, one that the developer responded to (every one actually) to fix their problems.
Even though I haven't had a problem with what I need, their support forum speaks for itself.
Very very well done.

Ironman Cozumel
Looking for some redemption after their Ironman Hawaii races, Tyler Stewart and Eduardo Sturla headed down to Mexico for Ironman Cozumel. Tyler used a typical strong bike to move her way through the field and came off the bike in first place. She would fade slightly on the run to finish second. Similarly, Eduardo had a very strong bike and left T2 with a very slight lead. The big Argentinean held on for a strong third place.

The Army's deputy of cybersecurity said last week that the service's systems are vulnerable to hacks when verified users are logging off, Buzzfeed reported. That story came just days after the same news site revealed that two anonymous sources had identified the same flaw.
Now, however, the Army is saying that the flaw exposes its networks only to people who have physical access to the machines.
"There are instances where the logoff process does not immediately complete upon removal of the [Common Access Code card]," Roy Lundgren, director of the Army Cyber Directorate, told Buzzfeed. "This occurs when the system is running logoff scripts and shutting down applications. The period of time that a system can be accessed following CAC removal before system logoff completes is normally not sufficient to gain unauthorized access."
An Army public affairs officer told FCW on Sept. 5 that even though there are situations where computers do not completely log off upon removal of the CAC, that vulnerability cannot be exploited remotely.
"The risk of the type of compromise alleged in the article is considered to be low," Army Public Affairs Officer Margaret McBride said in an email. "Only those with physical access to an Army computer could take advantage; an outside hack is not possible via this methodology."
"The Army is analyzing the alleged flaw in the logoff procedure," she added said. "Once the architecture issues are understood and the likelihood of occurrence is fully determined, the Army will design appropriate mitigation, such as technical solutions, revised user procedures and policy enforcement."

Police: Thief chased, stopped by victim
Updated On: Mar 31 2014 10:22:33 AM CDT
A 55-year-old Madison man chased and brought down a man suspected of stealing from his car while he was shopping at Westgate Mall, according to a release from Madison police.
The man told police he was at the mall with his family Saturday afternoon to purchase art and school supplies for children in Nicaragua when he saw a man near his car and could see someone had been through it.
Police said the man won a foot chase and, with help from another shopper, held him down on front of T.J. Maxx.
Terrance A. Buchanan, 26, was arrested on suspicion of theft from a vehicle, possession of cocaine and on a parole violation.
The victim's keys, phone and other items were recovered. His car had been left unlocked.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Hundreds of kids in Knoxville and Knox County got Christmas presents early this year.
The Salvation Army held it's annual "Angel Tree" distribution.
A large abandoned building on Asheville Highway held all the gifts for the 1,700 kids, that included clothes and toys for many ages.
All of the kids that were signed up for the program got gifts. But it's not always easy to fill the need.
"We've always had some children that have been forgotten. But we've always managed to make sure that they get adopted or we've always managed to make sure they get toys," said Major Albert Villafuerte from the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army uses reserve funds and gets last minute donations to make sure every child gets a gift.
It's not just kids getting a better Christmas. 100 senior citizens on fixed incomes, and some special needs adults are also getting gifts.
An army of 180 volunteers stepped up to help everything run smoothly.

by Mary Angela Shaughnessy, SCN, J.D., Ph.D.
Dean, School of Graduate Studies, St. Catharine College
Neumann University looks forward to hosting the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) Soul of Youth Sport Conference from June 15 – 17. Here, Sr. Mary Angela Shaughnessy previews her conference presentation on current legal issues in sports by offering 10 ideas that may not be as simple as they first appear.
No one can deny that sports have occupied a treasured place in Catholic schools. From the earliest days when students played with makeshift equipment to today when athletics may well claim the largest share of the non-academic school budget, sports have helped young people develop skills for a lifetime as well as athletic prowess. From the 1800s until about 1970 few Catholic school educators gave legal issues much thought. Of course, safety has always been important, but a parent's first thought if a child got hurt or didn't make the cut was not to hire an attorney or to file a lawsuit. Today, such thoughts are often a parent's first ones. As we have become an ever increasing litigious country, lawsuits increase and insurance costs rise.
How would you mark these statements—true or false?
1. The laws governing athletic participation in Catholic schools are not identical to those affecting participation in public schools.
2. Athletes can never be left unsupervised.
3. Coaches must keep student confidences.
4. Disciplinary infractions should not result in athletic penalties.
5. Every student has a right to play sports.
6. Coaches and trainers can administer over the counter medication.
7. Coaches should befriend team members on social media.
8. Most bullying of athletes occurs online.
9. If a student has a doctor's clearance to play, he/she must be allowed to play.
10. Alcohol and drug use are considered medical issues, not disciplinary incidents.
If you find yourself wondering about the correctness of your answers, you may wish to attend this session at the Soul of Youth Sport conference June 15-17. Legal issues are not always as simple as they may seem at first glance.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Posted January 16, 2012
At a pub before evening mass, Heinrich Boll observes a shrewish woman harassing and threatening a hungry child that she thinks is using too much vinegar on his chips. By chance Boll notes that "the savior was approaching"...a banged-up brute who pretends to kiss her hand, offers her a ten-shilling note, then interjects, "May I request you, Madam, to regard these ten shillings as sufficient payment for the six drops of vinegar?"
The woman takes the money, embarrassed, and the man left her with one last reminder, "May I moreover remind you that it is time for the evening service? Please convey my respectful regards to the priest."
Oh snap. Such a moment captured is one of the unforgettable scenes in Boll's Irish Journal, a collection of essays he wrote about his visit to the Emerald Isle in the 1950s that comes across much like a love letter to the Irish people. In the event above, he doesn't just leave it at his own observation, he brings it to the reader's consciousness, by making us wonder about the benefactor:
"The man who lives poetry instead of writing it pays ten thousand percent interest. Where was he, the dark, blood-stained drunk, who had had enough string for his jacket but not for his shoes?"
Just outside, in the same scene as above, he depicts the buildings:
"King John's Castle reared grimly out of the darkness, a tourist attraction hemmed in by tenements from the twenties, and the tenements of the twentieth century looked more dilapidated than King John's Castle of the thirteenth; the dim light from the weak bulbs could not compete with the massive shadow of the castle, everything was submerged in sour darkness."
The image he creates mixes characters caught between faith and tradition and modern change, yet still capable of vast generosity in the face of poverty. Anger mixes with empathy, and somehow the way he connects the fight over "vinegar" to the "sour" light makes it contain so much depth. And of course, the bum's reminder to the woman about mass, a dig at her less-than-charitable spirit, shows how Boll could see the irony in the situation.
Many of the images that Boll writes about are not far off from our pop culture image of Ireland, a place romanticized by many as a place of quaint cottages and endless green. (Those of us unfortunate enough to have seen the film, PS I Love You have further embellished that image with scenes of Gerard Butler and Jeffrey Dean Morgan meandering the countryside, spilling charm everywhere. Neither of whom are Irish.) Having come off a semester of Irish Studies, I realize that the reality is far different, yet the timing of Boll's trip and his ability to write about the people of Ireland without delving into the politics make this a lovely read.
In "Skeleton of a Human Habitation", Boll writes of the abandoned village he discovers on a walk with his family. "Everything not made of stone gnawed away by rain, sun, and wind--and time, which patiently trickles over everything; twenty-four great drops of time a day, the acid that eats everything away as imperceptibly as resignation." He describes the village much as a human body, with spine and heart and limbs--he puts the church as the head. He observes that the town has been left alone and not plundered, and how the doorways and walls, while decrepit, still remain. Only his own children, outsiders (the Bolls are Ge

Peter Jackson's prequel to the hugely popular epic fantasy-adventure 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will release on Friday, 14th Dec 2012. The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Moviegoers put some money in the kitty over the weekend. Despite pans from purrsnickety critics, Dr. Seuss' the Cat in the Hat debuted at No. 1 with $40.1 million a respectable haul, but far below the $55 million How the Grinch Stole Christmas earned in 2000. Halle Berry's supernatural thriller Gothika also thrived despite spooky reviews, opening in second place with a strong $19.6 million. Rounding out the top five: Elf (No. 3 with $19.1 million), Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (No. 4 with $15.2 million) and the film my brother David and sister-in-law Pam can't stop raving about, Love Actually (No. 5 with $9.1 million).

As 1965 approaches on NBC's superlative period piece, American Dreams, the winds of change are picking up. But neither the battle over civil rights nor the war in Vietnam will set off the fireworks in Sunday's episode (airing Sunday at 8 pm/ET); rather, this fight is sparked by a simple conflict between a parent and child. And, in this case, by "simple," we mean "really, really intense and complicated."

Sporting handcuffs and a sizeable entourage, Michael Jackson surrendered to Santa Barbara authorities Thursday to face child abuse charges that could send him to the slammer for 10 years. He was booked, fingerprinted and photographed (scary!) before being released on $3 million bail. In a statement, the singer whose arraignment was set for Jan. 9 said, "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court." (That reminds me: I've got to get to the gym this weekend.) Meanwhile, the King of Pop's family is speaking out in support of Mikey. In an expletive-laced tirade on CNN, Jacko's bro, G-lister Jermaine Jackson, called the accusations "nothing more than a modern-day lynching." Someone needs to simmer!

In the seven years since Tupac Shakur died, several unauthorized biographies and films have been released about the slain rapper. But his mother, Afeni Shakur, executive produced the current documentary Tupac: Resurrection, which she feels is a more accurate portrayal than we've seen before.
Tupac: Resurrection uses actual sound bites from Tupac's interviews. "People who did not know him on a one-on-one basis will discover Tupac," Shakur says. "The people that knew him will sit there and think that Tupac is talking individually to them. The good thing is that you sit there and you see every aspect of Tupac's personality."
Naturally, she's a little annoyed that others jumped the gun with their own versions of Tupac's life story. For her, it was important to take the time to do it right. "It is painful that people

This is how my daughter looks when she's with me:
And this is how my daughter looks when she's with her daddy:
Babycenter told me that it's around this age where toddlers begin to show preference for one parent. They also told me not to take it personally, but Babycenter really just needs to shut the hell up, cuz I totally do. My kid loves her daddy and thinks I'm a cold bitch, and that is just not okay. I mean, I get it. Daddy is patient. Daddy is calm. Daddy is fun. Daddy is around a little bit more (he watches her Thursdays and often picks her up from daycare on evenings where I work late or go to the gym). Maybe daddy even smells a bit better. But just because I get it, doesn't mean I like it. Not one bit.
When daddy goes out and O and I are alone, she'll often cry as he leaves. She repeats "daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy" over and over and over until I think my head is going to explode. Her first two word sentence was "Where daddy?" And this is her most used sentence. When I wake her up in the morning, the first word out of her mouth is "daddy." We haaaaaaaaaaave to go wake him up, or else she goes batshit crazy. Sometimes I ask for hugs and she screams "NO!", and then daddy will ask for one and it's a freaking lovefest up in this bitch. Denied. It's not until I fake cry when she'll come to me and give me a pity hug. I think it's pretty clear who wins her vote.
Today I am feeling stabby and would like to stab whomever coined the term "Daddy's Girl." That is all.

What will likely be a day-long drip of leaks about tonight's State of the Union address begins with this:
"President Barack Obama will announce in his State of the Union address that 34,000 U.S. troops will be home from Afghanistan within a year, two people familiar with his remarks said Tuesday." (From The Associated Press)
The wire service adds: "That's about half the U.S. forces currently serving there, and marks the next phase in the administration's plans to formally finish the war by the end of 2014."
Meanwhile, The Washington Post writes that "the Pentagon is pushing a plan that would keep about 8,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan once the NATO military mission there ends in 2014 but significantly shrink the contingent over the following two years, according to senior U.S. government officials and military officers."
The president's address is set for 9 p.m. ET. Eyder will be live-blogging before, during and after. There will also be special coverage on NPR stations and streaming on NPR.org.
Over at It's All Politics, our colleague Frank James looks at "four things to expect" in the address. Politico goes one step further: "5 things to watch for."

Global warming - What role does water vapor really play?Scientists say man-made CO2 causes global warming; climate skeptics insist that water vapor is responsible. Here's why both assumptions are true.
Here are the perfect ingredients for a conspiracy theory: water vapor is the most important factor influencing the greenhouse effect but doesn't feature on the UN's list of greenhouse gases responsible for anthropogenic global warming.
Critics of the idea of man-made global warming love this simple fact and have turned it into one of their most potent arguments to sabotage decisive climate action.
So why doesn't the UN's climate body the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) list water vapor as a greenhouse gas? It's because water vapor does not by itself increase temperatures. It amplifies already occurring warming.
Water vapor's role in the Earth's climate system is defined by the very short time it remains in the atmosphere and actively traps heat. While additional CO2 from factories or airplanes can remain in the atmosphere for centuries, extra water vapor will only remain a few days before raining down as water.
The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is in equilibrium. The atmosphere can only hold more water vapor if overall temperatures increase. So a small warming effect caused by human CO2 emissions will increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
The added water vapor leads to even more warming, thus amplifying the CO2 warming effect. Water vapor follows temperature changes, it doesn't cause or, as climatologists say, 'force' them. As a feedback effect, water vapor is comparable to a car's turbo charger that increases a motor's power.
However, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere changes regionally. While there is virtually no water vapor above deserts or the Arctic and Antarctic regions, the air above the equator can consist of up to four percent water vapor.
In humid equatorial regions, where there is already a strong natural greenhouse effect, additional CO2 and water vapor have little impact on local climate. The opposite is true in cold, dry places, which is one reason why warming is much more pronounced in Polar regions.
Concentration matters
Regional differences aside, the atmosphere contains on average only 0.4 percent of water vapor and ten times less CO2. This relatively small concentration is another argument often cited to refute the idea of man-made global warming. How can CO2 cause rising temperatures, skeptics demand, if it only accounts for 0.04 percent of the atmosphere?
Again the riddle is solved easily.
Oxygen and nitrogen are the most abundant elements in the Earth's atmosphere and make up 99 percent of it. But neither of the two gases traps or emits heat.
This is why water vapor is responsible for most of the natural greenhouse effect. Scientists estimate that without water vapor average temperatures would be up to 30 degrees Celsius lower. CO2, on the other hand, is responsible for a much smaller but still substantial amount of the natural warming effect.
If things remain like this, we could continue living on a cozy, warm planet. But too much of a good thing is often bad. CO2 levels have increased from 0.028 percent of the atmosphere to about 0.04 percent since the Industrial Revolution. This has led to a temperature increase of about 0.7 degrees Celsius so far.
About half of this warming could be due to feedback warming from water vapor, estimates the IPCC. But it would not have happened without the added CO2 pumped into the atmosphere. CO2 is the guy robbing the bank, water vapor is just the getaway driver.
Comments (26)
My understanding is that 97% of the annual CO2 added to the atmosphere is natural, not man made. So if the CO2 increased since the industrial revolution from 280 ppm to 400 ppm, then the increase is 120 ppm. That means the man made contribution of 3% amounts to about 3.6 ppm added CO2. Are these 3.6 ppm really the cause of the IPCC's prediction of catastrophic global warming if humans don't dramatically reduce CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels?
Dry heat is not difficult to bear but the humid climate after the rain is most uncomfortable. The impact of water vapor explains it.
We're so self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I'm tired of this rubbish. I'm tired of Earth Day. I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a hoot about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE are!
We're going away. Pack your stuff, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet'll be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn't share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, "Why are we here?"
Hilarious! This "article" is so full of political baloney that you could feed Italy for years.
Water vapor absorbs infrared. Even the most basic of scientists understand this simple fact. When water vapor absorbs heat, the air around it is warmed, allowing it to absorb more water vapor, increasing the heat in the atmosphere. That's a certain positive feedback cycle.
It's amazing how the IPCC (Idiots Promoting Climate Catastrophe) will do back flips to link it all to CO2.
The reason they do this is simple . . . try and tax water vapor.
if we all start driving hydrogen fuel cell cars won't that create massive amounts of extra vapor in the atmosphere and how do we deal with that? i don't think we can do anything if global warming is real.
For excess humidity in the atmosphere, I hope Man is not blamed. As I am fond of repeating, Sun is relentlessly heating the earth with so much energy (6000 times the per capita consumption of energy) that it has got to evaporate the water on earth or at least heat the atmosphere. There have been cycles of deluge and drought on earth, much before Man intervened in changing nature.
Nature has its own ways of dealing with these aberrations. If some species (Again creation of nature) cannot survive, then there is the theory of survival of the fittest to fall back upon. Let us not blame Man for every thing bad happening.
We need to release the water that is retained/stored outside of earth's natural cycle. Please read....Human's (7+ billion) contain on avg 12 gallons of water, cattle (1.3+ billion) contain on average 150 gal of H2O, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc..each contain their respective avg amounts of water. Look at all of the houses, apartments, hotels, motels, businesses, etc that have plumbing, hot water heaters, etc storing water. Automobiles, trucks, planes, etc. store water in their respective coolant systems. How about all of the bottling plants for beer, soda, water, etc. as well as all of the distribution points along the supply chain including each personal refrigerator or cupboard. There are probably many other areas that could be identified as a container's of water not mentioned above.
Have you ever stood next to a water fall...the mist keeps you cool. Water in the atmosphere or the lack thereof is the reason for the warming trend. The items listed above have been growing exponentially since 1850 when the world's population was estimated at 1 billion. It only takes a small percentage of water removal for the earth to begin to correct itself to an appropriate ratio of water in the atmosphere.
IF WE SEE HISTORY, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE EARTH SUFFERED FROM SURFEIT OR SHORTAGE OF RAINS OVER EONS AND AT LEAST IN iNDIA, WE ARE COGNISANT OF RECURRING FAMINES, ESPECIALLY IN BENGAL. IF INDIA IS SELF SUFFICIENT IN FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION, DESPITE THE HUGE INCREASE IN POPULATION THANKS ARE DUE TO 'HUMAN' INTERVENTION LOKE BUILDING DAMS OVER MAHANADI, INDUS, KRISHNA. AND QUITE A FEW OTHER RIVERS. THANKS ARE ALSO DUE TO DR. SWAMINATHAN OF IARI.
NO! It is not possible at our will but we can maintain the nature's way. There are many examples that man has disturbed the nature's ways, e.g. pollution of air, water, soil etc. We have changed the faces of the earth so we must confront the nature's reactions/effects.
Similarly, we have disrupted rain cycle by obstructing the evaporation from the earth's surface through millions of settlements by constructing houses, roads etc. If we minimize the covering of land areas as used to be in old days, older the situation the better, we will have more and more regular rain cycle like in those days. Regular rain means solution to all the problems related to climate change.

Are humans capable of changing weather ? Dod they have the power to bring rain/cyclones/snowfall at will ?
Let us not abscribe too much to human power. That will be ego.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A bill to further restrict the use of abortion-inducing drugs in Oklahoma has easily cleared a Republican-controlled Senate committee.
The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services voted 5-1 Monday for the bill, which was written in direct response to a recent state Supreme Court decision.
The bill would prohibit off-label uses of abortion-inducing drugs by requiring doctors to administer the drugs only in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration protocol. The Legislature previously attempted to limit the use of the drugs with a bill in 2011 that the Oklahoma Supreme Court declared unconstitutional, saying it effectively banned all drug-induced abortions in the state.
Oklahoma City Republican Sen. Greg Treat says this bill adds language stating that is not the case.
