New PC monitor is wireless, powered by magnetic induction
With Fujitsu's new wireless 22-inch PC monitor, we're another step closer to severing the cables from our computers. Graphics cards have already made the jump to wireless, so why not computer monitors?
The wireless monitor draws its power from a magnetic induction transmitter specially built into furniture such as a desk. When the display makes contact with the desk, a wireless connection is made. Picture display is then transferred via wireless USB from a computer up to 32 feet away.
Fujitsu's monitor looks pretty nifty. If all monitors worked this way over the next few years, we wouldn't complain. Wires get tangled and get dusty over time unless you wipe them off periodically. Wireless kills two flames with one extinguisher.
The wireless monitor is a proof-of-concept, but Fujitsu isn't leaving it at that. The company has real plans to produce a wireless monitor within the next year.

The Winemaker
Winemaking Philosophy
Why Wilbur?
Why no whites?
Whitestone Winery's estate vineyard is located in the shadow of Whitestone Rock on the shores of Lake Roosevelt. The reservoir was created by the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. Before the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, the area currently around the vineyard was one of the most prolific vineyard and orchard regions in the state. With the construction of the Dam, the vineyards and orchards were inundated, and lost to time.
In the 1970's, Walter Clore, recognized by the state of Washington as the "Father of Washington Wine," performed a study on the Lower Lake Roosevelt Area. The conclusion of his research was that the area formed by the Grand Coulee Dam, stretching to the confluence of the Spokane River and Columbia River, was one of the best wine grape growing regions in the state. Nobody took action on his research, and like the inundated vineyards, his work seemed destined to be lost to time.
In 1992, Walter and Judy Haig were enjoying a nice glass of wine and entertaining friends on the deck of their Lake Roosevelt summer home. The conversation that night turned to the history of the land. The prior owners of the property had passed down a scrapbook from the original homesteader about the property. In the scrapbook was an old US Agriculture map identifying what crops were planted at the turn of the past century. To everyone's shock, wine grapes were highlighted on the land where they sat.
Passionate about wine since the early seventies while living in Santa Barbara, the Haig's contacted Washington State University's viticulturist expert Robert Wample. Soon after, a history was uncovered, research was brought to light, and a journey started to grow and make some of the finest wines in the world.

Growing Season
March to November
The site of our estate vineyard is distinctive for its microclimate perfect for growing Bordeaux varietal grapes. The vineyard has four well-defined seasons. Highlighted by our summer's long sunny days and cool nights, that are created by the vineyard's location and proximity to Lake Roosevelt, this provides the ideal conditions for balanced and mature fruit. The temperature differential from mid-September to early November is 10 to 15 degrees warmer at night than the areas away from the water. This allows for maximum hang time, allowing us to harvest the fruit only when it is ready.
Two years of research and preparation were put into the vineyard before a single vine was planted. Every care and consideration was taken into account from our nine-foot row spacing, to the orientation of the rows to best maximize airflow and sunlight. Each of our 21,000 vines was planted in a hand-augured hole over 30 inches deep to maximize water during the summertime and for freeze protection during the wintertime. Every effort in the vineyard is designed to deliver the best possible grapes for our wines.
The Winery
Winery Name.................................Whitestone Winery
Winery Location...........................Eastern Washington
............................................................Hwy. 2 in Wilbur
Winemaker..............................................Michael Haig
Capacity.......................................................2,400 cases
After years of growing grapes and selling them to the wineries in Walla Walla and elsewhere around the state, the Haig family decided to start their own winery. The town of Wilbur was chosen because of its closeness to the vineyard, and its abundance of asphalt, water, and electricity. An old service station was renovated, and a small batch of Merlot was produced.
In 2004, the vineyard sold its last grape to another winery. Starting with the 2005 harvest, Lake Roosevelt Shores Vineyard fruit would only be available in Whitestone Wines.
July of 2005 saw the winery open up a small tasting room at the production facility in Wilbur. The old service station was again providing relief to the travelers of Highway 2. Since renovating the old service station in 2001, the winery has since expanded with a new barrel aging building and 10,000 square foot production facility. These expansions give us the perfect space and environment to craft, produce, and age our wines.
In April of 2009, Whitestone Winery opened up a brand new tasting room in downtown Spokane, WA. The new tasting room allows us to showcase our wines and our passion for winemaking in a downtown urban location. We take great pride in treating our guests to a first class tasting experience, from educational meet and greets with the winemaker, to live music the first Friday of every month. The Spokane Tasting room is open year round Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Noon to 6pm. The Wilbur tasting room is open Fridays and Saturdays 11am to 4pm Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Whitestone Winery is completely a family business. Michael Haig runs the vineyard and is the head winemaker. His parents, Walter and Judy, who started the operation, help out around the winery and vineyard (especially when it comes time to taste and blend). Michael's wife, dogs, and cats serve as a Greek Chorus.
Winemaker's Profile
Michael Haig's interest in winemaking and viticulture started when his parents, Walter and Judy Haig, discovered that their lake property was perfect for growing grapes. Mentored by Robert Wample, the sixteen-year old Michael got his start by helping set up and plant the Lake Roosevelt Shores Vineyard. As the vines grew and matured, so did Michael's love and appreciation for the wine industry. While delivering the grapes to the wineries in Walla Walla, Michael was able to learn about winemaking from some of the best winemakers in Washington. When the time came for the family to start not just growing grapes, but producing wine, they did not have to look far for a winemaker. With professional degrees in Accounting and Economics, and over half his life spent in the wine industry, Michael is perfectly adept for the viticulture, winemaking and business aspects of the industry.
Winemaking Philosophy
Our winemaking philosophy begins in the vineyard. Great wine comes from great fruit and it is the winemaker's job to showcase the gifts of Mother Nature. We do not buy fruit from any other source, our wines are 100% Estate. We pick the fruit only when it is ready, and do not add anything to our must; we let nature balance our fruit for us. We small batch ferment all of our wine and treat each day's lot as a unique expression of the vineyard. We utilize different fermentation practices, yeast strains, and barrels to create different blending components. What we strive to achieve is a wine of the highest quality, which reflects the uniqueness of our vineyard with complexity, depth, and balance.
2007 Washington Merlot of the Year
For our 2002 Merlot by Washington CEO Magazine
Concordance Gold & Best Red Blend
For Pieces of Red v.2.03 by Indy International Wine Competition
2008 Washington Wine of the Year
For Pieces of Red v.4.11 by the Compass Wines Newsletter
In addition, each of our different vintages of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc has won multiple Gold and Silver at the four largest wine competitions in the United States.
Why Wilbur?
Wilbur is the closest "major" city to where our estate vineyard is located on the shores of Lake Roosevelt.
Why no white wines?
All of our wine is made 100% from only the grapes we grow, and we currently do not grow any white grape varietals. We feel that trucking in any grapes would cause Whitestone to lose part of what makes our winery unique and special. We do have the vineyard acreage to expand, so maybe in the future we will have some whites.

Bing, Yahoo integration and the Blekko search engine
This month has two key developments which can impact your website traffic and SEO efforts.
Yahoo starts integrating Bing search results
Yahoo! announced that some of their search results are now driven by Bing starting this July. The Bing-Yahoo! search integration is taking place in phases. It is expected to be complete by September end.
So from October 2010, there will be another significant player in the search market. Bing's total share will now grow to a 25-30% range. How will this play out? These are the two scenarios
- If you were doing great in Yahoo so far but not in Bing, your SEO efforts will need to focus on Bing a lot more than earlier.
- If you are doing fine with Bing, then there is no reason to change anything SEO wise.
Related posts: The SEO impact of the Yahoo-Microsoft search alliance
Blekko to release complete SEO data
An interesting new search engine, Blekko was recently featured on leading tech blog, Techcrunch. Blekko will be offering a beta version to select users and is expected to launch in a short period.
The important feature from an SEO perspective is the data provided. All the backlinks data, rankings and more will be public. All this publicly viewable SEO data will be both a good and a bad thing depending on how it is perceived and used.
Though not a Google killer, the interesting feature of this new search engine is the use of slashes to build custom searches easily. For e.g. I can create a /design custom search with a set of sites grouped under this slash.
This will show in the left menu (now standard in Bing and Google) which will contain my custom slashes. I can also follow other people and their slashes.
- Upside: All competitor data is visible. Also we get a better idea of our link data.
- Downside: All your site data is visible too.

Senator DeMint's Blog: Lieberman-Warner Unlikely to Reduce Global Temperatures, Cap & Trade Scheme INCREASING Emissions in Europe
June 3, 2008
Posted By Marc Morano – 1:35 PM ET – email@example.com
Lieberman-Warner Unlikely to Reduce Global Temperatures, Cap & Trade Scheme INCREASING Emissions in Europe
From the Office of Senator Jim DeMint
Posted by Jim's Staff
Following up on yesterday's release on how Lieberman-Warner will destroy jobs and hike gasoline prices, please see this post from Senator DeMint's blog .
Supporters of the $7 Trillion Lieberman-Warner Climate Tax (S. 2191 / S.3036) assure us the bill is necessary to combat global warming, even though the bill would kill 3-4 million American jobs and double gasoline & home energy prices.
However, according to numerous experts, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Tax bill would not measurably reduce global temperatures:
Dr. Anne E. Smith, CRA International: "It is worth asking however, the question of how much change in global greenhouse gas emissions would be achieved by S.2191, relative to the growth expected from sources other than the United States... None of these scenarios [under Lieberman-Warner] are sufficient to prevent global emissions from continuing to increase through 2050, due to the unchecked growth of emissions from developing countries, principally China and India."
Patrick J. Michaels, Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia: "So, what do you get for your trillions? Climatically, nothing. Assume that all the nations of the world fulfill their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol (they won't!), which reduces global emissions about 5% below 1990 levels. That results in a "savings" of global warming of 0.07 degrees Celsius by 2050—an amount too small to measure, as global temperatures vary on their own about twice that much from year-to-year. Now add in Lieberman-Warner. Say the U.S. actually does what the law says, though no one knows how to. The result is an additional 0.013 degrees (C) of "prevented" warming. Assume that all the Kyoto countries adopt — and fulfill — S 2191. The amount of saved warming in 2050 is around 0.11 degrees C, and about 0.20 in 2100. Too small to measure. The accumulated cost? Probably in excess of 10 trillion dollars."
Ben Lieberman, Senior Policy Analyst at The Heritage Foundation: "Given sharp increases in emissions from China and other fast developing nations, the unilateral measures in S. 3036 would do little. Even assuming the worst of global warming, emissions would still go up, and the impact on the earth's future temperature would likely be too small to even verify – quite remarkable given the multi-trillion dollar price tag."
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that the cap & trade scheme in Europe that Lieberman-Warner is modeled after, has actually led to INCREASED carbon emissions every year since it was enacted:
The European Union's greenhouse-gas emissions from key industries rose 1.1% last year, despite its antipollution policies, demonstrating the difficulty in meeting international commitments to fight climate change... For the past three years, Europe has been trying to reduce emissions by imposing a market-based cap-and-trade system. Industries such as power generators, steel, cement and aluminum are supposed to cap the amount of carbon dioxide they spew. If they can't make their targets, they must buy permits to emit carbon on the open market.
By forcing companies to buy and sell the right to pollute, Europe's system is supposed to give them a financial incentive to clean up their acts. It is also supposed to provide European countries with a way to meet their commitments to the Kyoto Protocol, the United Nations accord that set emissions-cutting targets for the 175 nations that ratified it for the period between this year and 2012.
But the caps that the EU set for different industries turned out to be too high. As a result, instead of shrinking, as was originally envisioned, emissions in these industries have crept up by about 1% each year since the program began. Europe's struggle to make its cap-and-trade program work shows just how hard it will be for the industrialized world to achieve any meaningful reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions. Japan isn't faring any better: Its Kyoto targets call for it to reduce emissions by 6% below 1990 levels, but emissions are actually increasing there as well.

The deaths of five bison in Yellowstone National Park were caused by toxic gases seeping from steam vents, according to park officials, who noticed the dead animals on March 10 at Norris Geyser Basin, a concentrated area of geysers, hot springs and steam vents. Is this more evidence that Yellowstone is about to blow?
Sandra Hughes of CBS News says scientists are still trying to understand what could happen at Yellowstone, by figuring out what happened there in the past. Researcher Lisa Morgan, who is studying the park's biggest lake, says "It is kind of the last unmapped frontier in Yellowstone National Park." Using sonar, she's identified a massive bulging dome under the water that?s the size of seven football fields. The only other underwater dome in Yellowstone was the site of a major explosion. She says, "The most extreme event, which occurred 13,800 years ago, went about as far as five miles away from [there]."
Almost 14,000 years ago, that lake suddenly shot out boiling water, steam and rocks. Despite being a national park visited by 3 million tourists annually, park ranger Hank Heasler says, "The bottom line is we still don't know all that much about what's going on at Yellowstone." Yellowstone is on top of one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The park contains more than 10,000 vents, along with geysers and hot springs.
Heasler monitors the situation at Yellowstone constantly. He closed a trail near the Norris Geyser last summer because the ground became boiling hot?hot enough to burn right through the soles of your shoes. This is another ominous sign. He says, "If the temperatures here gets above boiling, then we know that there's a potential for the water to just rapidly flash to steam and cause one of these hydrothermal explosions."

See real life people & pets affected by bay runoff
What you have seen is shocking but true: decent people who love the Chesapeake Bay getting life-threatening infections by simply coming in contact with its polluted waters–and their pets, too.
What causes these infections? Every time it rains, the water runs off paved surfaces and washes all the nutrients, chemicals, and dirt into our creeks and streams. An inch of rain falling on an acre of hard surface can produce 27,000 gallons of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater runoff flushes fertilizer from lawns, and pesticides, oil and anti-freeze, pet waste, and sediment (dirt) into the nearest creek or stream from developed areas such as your house, streets, and all hardened surfaces whether shopping centers, churches, schools, parking lots, or highways.
… Read our list of things you can do yourself to minimize runoff at your home , business, office, school, or house of worship…

One reality is that nobody wants families to be forced to stop farming. A second widely-understood reality is that the single greatest force driving farm families away from their traditional lives is the ever-growing domination of food production by huge companies like Perdue, Inc.… Continue Reading

Armed with a handful of arcane clues and a vast knowledge of the world of Sherlock Holmes, Doug enlists Gail and co-worker Carlos (Raúl Castillo) in a ramshackle investigation that draws the slacker sleuths into Portland's underground. What they discover is a complex trail of clues, leading them increasingly close to the discovering the mysterious truth about Rachel.
Building on the lyrical style and naturalistic performances of his two previous features, DANCE PARTY USA and QUIET CITY, Katz offers a refreshingly idiosyncratic spin on genre conventions. COLD WEATHER is simultaneously the story of a brother and sister getting to know each other after years apart and a mystery in the great tradition of crime and detective fiction.

Travel Guide: Memphis, Tennessee
This easygoing river city is the birthplace of the blues and rock and roll, and its music scene is still going strong. But today it also has far more pleasures to offer
By Julia Reed
Roll along the river. In some towns along the Mississippi, you barely know the river's there. Not so with Memphis. Spots at which to picnic or have cocktails while watching barge traffic or taking in phenomenal sunsets include the mile-long Tom Lee Park, the grass-covered roof of the new Beale Street Landing, and the festive rooftop bars of the Peabody and Madison hotels. Walk (or drive) to Mud Island, the peninsula a mile from downtown that boasts a Mississippi River Museum and a scale model of the lower Mississippi. Or get out on the water—Memphis Riverboats (memphisriverboats.net) offers sightseeing tours on triple-decker paddle wheelers.
Take a music lesson. Beale Street, with its statue of W. C. Handy, is ground zero for blues clubs and musical venues, including Rum Boogie (rumboogie.com) and B. B. King's (bbkingclubs.com), where Ruby Wilson, "the queen of Beale Street," reigns over the elegant upstairs restaurant, Itta Bena. At the end of the street, acts like Jack White play the New Daisy Theatre (newdaisy), while farther afield, beloved dive bar the Buccaneer Lounge (901-278-0909) offers everything from country to garage punk. In the daylight hours, dig deeper into the city's musical history at the Gibson guitar factory (gibson.com) or the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, on the original site of Stax Records (staxmuseum.com). At Sun Studio (sunstudio.com), tour the birthplace of rock and roll, record your own demo tape, and sample the city's best malted (the lobby boasts a soda fountain with red vinyl–covered barstools).
Become a BBQ buff. Memphis, which hosts the World Champion Barbecue Cooking Contest each May, features everything from pulled pork to BBQ spaghetti, a local favorite. Try the bare-bones Payne's (901-272-1523) for the best chopped pork sandwich; the Bar-B-Q Shop (901-272-1277) for wet or dry ribs and BBQ nachos; or A&R (901-774-7444) for succulent pork, delicious fried pies, and a killer caramel cake. Charles Vergo's Rendezvous (901-523-2746) is still the granddaddy—and, for a BBQ joint, downright swanky.

Just recently announced as part of the Nike Free 2014 Running Collection, we already declared early on that the new Free 4.0 Flyknit was among our favorite Flyknit sneakers to date. A clean silhouette that will for sure be a big hit both on and off the running track. This week the sneaker has released in the much-anticipated multicolor colorway, which is with every Nike Flyknit silhouette among the most popular, most likely because the upper truly shows what a Flyknit can do. The sneaker will release at Invincible on April 12.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Tongue-Tie
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is
a problem that is present at birth. It happens when the tissue that attaches the tongue to the bottom of
the mouth (lingual frenulum) is too short. This can limit the movement of the tongue.
See a picture of tongue-tie.
The cause of tongue-tie isn't always known. It can run in families or may occur in babies who have other problems that affect the mouth or face, such as cleft palate.
Many babies with tongue-tie
don't have symptoms. The tissue either stretches as the child grows, or the child adapts to the tongue restriction. But some children with tongue-tie
Your doctor will do a physical exam of your child's mouth and ask about his or her symptoms. In an older child or adult, the doctor may check the shape
and movements of the tongue.
If your baby is younger than 1 year of age and has problems with feeding, the doctor may do a medical procedure (frenotomy) to clip the lingual frenulum. If your baby has tongue-tie and is feeding okay, you may choose to wait and see if his
or her lingual frenulum stretches on its own.
While you wait and see, you can also:
If tongue-tie causes speech problems or personal or social problems as your child grows, the doctor may do a frenuloplasty. In this surgery, the doctor clips the lingual frenulum and closes the wound with stitches. The doctor may also teach your child how to do tongue exercises to improve tongue movement.
Some children don't need treatment because they adapt to the way their tongue is or the problem gets better as they grow.

Guest Blog: 'Neuer the best in the world'
Tags: Germany, Sony Handycam ®, USA
Manuel Neuer has been my goalkeeper of the tournament, without a doubt. I always look at consistency in goalkeepers. If you look at all of the attributes, from shot-stopping to crosses to reading of the game and distribution, I think he's the best in the world right now.
I think there were three others that I thought were right there, but a notch below. I thought Hugo Lloris, Keylor Navas and Claudio Bravo were that next group.
Then there were a few goalkeepers who had exceptional, outstanding single games. You have to put Tim Howard in that category with his performance against Belgium. You have to mention Rais M'Bohli's performance against Germany, and you have to include Guillermo Ochoa's performance against Brazil.
There's so many great saves in this World Cup. You can't pick just one as the best. I liked Ochoa's save off the Neymar header. I liked M'Bohl's save off of Lahm to the right-hand corner with his finger tips. I thought Neuer's reaction save the other night against Paulinho was an exceptional save even if his team was already up by a bunch.
One of the best saves in the tournament that isn't spoken much about came in the first game I did, Uruguay vs. Costa Rica. Uruguay had a shot that got deflected and looped over Navas' head and he tipped it over the bar going over his left-hand shoulder. Outstanding.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The deaths of three American doctors in Afghanistan is being felt in the coastal bend.
Dr. Keith Rose, a plastic surgeon in Corpus Christi said he was friends with Dr. Jerry Umanos, one of three doctors shot dead by an Afghan security officer Thursday morning.
"Dr. Jerry was an amazing guy...I'm sad for him, and I'm sad for the people that he worked with. Those that worked with him loved him," said Dr. Rose.
Dr. Umanos was a Chicago pediatrician who worked at the CURE International Hospital, a charity-based children's hospital in Kabul, for the past seven years.
"Jerry was an integral part of CURE. He taught other physicians; he gave them a tremendous amount of his time. He [could have been] back here in the states making good money, living a comfortable life," explained Dr. Rose.
Doctors Rose and Umanos operated on Afghan children whose families couldn't afford health care.
"Because of Jerry and the training that he taught other doctors...there will be generations that are going to be around because of his care," said Dr. Rose.
Dr. Umanos will also be missed in his hometown. Staff at Lawndale Christian Health Center in Chicago was shocked to learn of his death.
"We have lost a great friend. Our clinic is grieving right now. Our hearts are broken," said James Brooks, Chief of Ministry Office at Lawndale Christian Health Center.
While Dr. Umanos's friends and family continue to mourn his death, Dr. Rose is confident that his friend leaves a lasting legacy in Afghanistan.
"Although Jerry's gone...his teaching and the way he cared for the Afghan people is going to last a long time."
The alleged gunman was arrested. Afghan authorities haven't released a motive for the attack.

|(RVN) Phong Xuan Nguyen, originally from the village of Bac Tri in southern Vietnam, served in a variety of posts in the government of the Republic of Vietnam. Born in 1936, Phong was educated at the Lycee Chasseloup Laubat in Saigon, the Lycee Michelet in Paris, the University of London, and Oxford University. Upon graduation from Oxford in 1960, he returned to Saigon to work for Esso, an affiliate of Standard Oil New Jersey, as an executive in charge of industrial relations. He joined the South Vietnamese government in 1965, at age 29, as Minister of Labor (1965-66). He subsequently served as Minister (Chief of Staff) at the Prime Minister's Office (1966), as Minister of Welfare (1966-68), and as the first Chieu Hoi Minister (1967-68). In 1968, he was named Deputy Leader of the RVN's delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. He later became Minister-in-State in Charge of Negotiations in Paris and then Head of the RVN at the Conference between the Two South Vietnamese Parties at Celle Saint Cloud. Phong returned to Saigon in April of 1975. After the fall of the RVN to the North Vietnamese, he was sent for "reeducation" in May 1975. He spent nearly five years in prison outside of Hanoi in Camp A15 before being released in January 1980. Afterwards, he worked in Ho Chi Minh City as a private businessman. Ambassador Phong is now Senior Researcher and Associate Director of The Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. OH0250 - part of the The Phong Xuan Nguyen Collection

I would like to know how to get OpenOffice to use the system printers. I did a normal install of SuSE 8.0 Pro and set up an Epson Stylus Photo 1280. When I installed OpenOffice, the only printer it set up was generic.
—Nathan M. Fowler Jr., email@example.com
You may need to run the spadmin program, which is located in the ~/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/program directory. This is the printer configuration utility of OpenOffice.
—Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com
I have a Linksys router. Red Hat Linux detects the Ethernet port built onto my motherboard, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect.
—Tim Kuder, email@example.com
Try Red Hat's netconfig tool. You may need to set DHCP to get the IP address from a DHCP server instead of declaring one yourself. Then, ping your router's address; if it works, you are set.
—Felipe E. Barousse Boué, email@example.com
I am in the process of installing Red Hat Linux 7 (using the distribution packaged in the Red Hat Linux 7 for Dummies book). My installation appears to have hung after installing 153MB of a 753MB installation. Is it safe to reboot my computer?
—Marcus, firstname.lastname@example.com
I would hope that your computer isn't still waiting for a response to this request. Yes, it is safe to reboot. However, Linux was not successfully installed, so you will not be able to boot Linux. It's possible the CD you are installing from has some corruption.
—Christopher Wingert, firstname.lastname@example.com
If everything hung up, you probably have no choice but to reboot. Are your installation CDs unscratched? Are you positive your hard disk is in good condition? Re-install from scratch, and this time select the Check for Bad Blocks option when creating partitions. This will take longer, but it will test your disk against some defects.
—Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com
I have a Sony Vaio PCG F340, and I want to install Slackware on it. Following some bad advice, I formatted the c: drive. Now anything I put in the CD drive or floppy drive comes up with an invalid system disk error.
—John Krissinger, firstname.lastname@example.com
Go into your BIOS and change the boot order of your drives. Put the drive you are installing from, either the floppy or the CD-ROM, ahead of your hard drive.
—Christopher Wingert, email@example.com
I'm not certain Slackware can be installed on your Vaio; those laptops are a bit hard to support. If you don't get anywhere with it, you may want to try installing Red Hat, SuSE or Linux-Mandrake. These all have installers that are better at probing laptop hardware.
—Marc Merlin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Please advise me about installing any version of Linux that can work with my Dell Inspiron NoteBook computer. It has a UXGA monitor (1600 × 1200 native resolution) and an NVIDIA GeForce 2 Go video graphics system. Neither Dell nor Red Hat are of any help. I tried to install earlier versions of Caldera and Mandrake 9.0, also without success.
—Kamalakar Rao, email@example.com
Your main problem is that the good GeForce drivers have to be downloaded from NVIDIA, because they are not open source. What you want to do is install your distribution of choice with XFree 4.1 or 4.2. Then go to the NVIDIA web site, download the closed-source drivers, and follow the install directions: www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_1.0-3123.
—Marc Merlin, firstname.lastname@example.com
I am trying to set up a Red Hat 7.3 box as a server for my school. I have been looking for advice about how to set up a DNS and DHCP server.
—Richard Whiteside, firstname.lastname@example.com
Red Hat has some nice tools for configuration of the services you require. Read the Installation Guide, which is actually quite good. www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/install-guide.
—Christopher Wingert, firstname.lastname@example.com
You can find excellent tips within the DNS-HOWTO and DHCP-HOWTO. You can find those and many others in your distribution CD or on-line at tldp.org or on many other mirrors.
—Mario Bittencourt, firstname.lastname@example.com
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

No Freedom of Speech Online
Or Be Careful What You Say On Facebook!
Social sites are constantly shifting, changing and updating. View any trend analysis site and the graph is showing the constantly rising visitor rate especially for big community sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
You cannot afford to ignore the trends but neither should you jump in without a good plan. You need to be cautious before you post any content on the web especially if you are a business, but also as an employee.
This was brought home to me on a personal level twice. First when my nephew made unguarded comments on Facebook, agreeing with a friend's negative comment made about their boss and was fired. The boss wasn't even named!
Then my son joined a group on Facebook which was started by a workmate. This group was the opposite of a fan page and was let's say, less than positive, about the company they both worked for. They were also fired!
It's easy to say companies should ignore such minor infractions and accept the fact that people will get frustrated or be annoyed about something at work and then go into a social site such as Facebook and vent. But the web is a published document, there for all time, not just a few words soon forgotten.
Had either of them been in the pub at the time talking, this wouldn't have been an issue (unless the boss was standing just behind them listening). Facebook is like the pub to most people. They let their guard down there, they chatter and gripe in text just as if they were relaxing after work over a few drinks.
I don't know where this will go. It's hard on the boys who have had a sharp lesson in why keeping their mouths shut (especially on the web) is a good policy. At the same time, it's like the right to free speech has been taken away and Big Brother really is watching everything we do and censoring it violently.
Keeping a good reputation online is going to get harder and harder. For companies trying to keep negative comments off the web and for kids who haven't learned to hold their tongues yet. Lawyers will be scrambling to update libel laws to keep up, while enforcement agencies pick their battles between genuinely disgruntled customers and people out to cause trouble for competing companies.
Companies are going to need extra staff uploading new positive content and staff to keep an eye on where their brand is being used in inappropriate ways.
Nothing has really changed. Any freedom comes at a price, including freedom of speech. If you wish to exercise it, you take the consequences. It's just another thing to consider in our increasingly complex world. Sigh...

It is my great honor to serve as Vanderbilt University's eighth chancellor. This institution, which I have served as faculty member, provost and vice chancellor for over 25 years, is one of the most dynamic, exhilarating and relevant higher learning institutions in the nation. A key reason for our upward trajectory is our rejection of inertia, our constant search for innovation, and our ability to rapidly and strategically turn hurdles into opportunities.
As a university, we are currently engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process that will set the course for the next decade at Vanderbilt. I encourage you to read more about each of these areas of focus, and look forward to our continued, shared journey forward.

Looks good. Lets see how long itll last!
Hojat from Miami Beach, FL– Verified Buyer
Just got it an hour ago and put it together. Packaging, in a prism shaped box, is basic to shoddy but the two parts arrived undamaged. There was no instruction sheet included to instruct that one NEEDs TO PULL THE SECuRITY CAP OFF THE HYDRAULIC ROD so the hydraulic height adjustment works properly. Called Lumisource and their rep told me about the need to pull off the cap with a pair of pliers... Not exactly obvious specially given the fact that the cap was metallic and hard to pull off. Now it is sitting on my balcony with a pair of stools. I was told before buying that it is ok for modest exposure to outdoor elements... Let's see how long it lasts. It looks like it is well worth the price. Just wish they would have charged $1 more and included a sheet about how to properly put it together...
almost bang on
Andrew from Orleans, ON– Verified Buyer
The table is very nice, for the most part exactly how we had pictured it to be, except for the black ring around the base, which we had hoped for as it looks (in the picture) as its a rubber protector to not damage the floors. This was not the case. it is just a thin metal base that in are case has a good size dent in it. the table is very nice and for the most part what u see is what you get. shipping times where right on.
Great addition to Office
Marci from Las Vegas, NV– Verified Buyer
My boyfriend wanted me to recreate the Starbucks vibe in his home office. I paired this with black leather bar stoolss trimmed in chrome and it is absolutely gorgeous. It also is extremely versatile as it can be lowered to various heights with the push of a button. I highly recommend this product!
Linda from Gainesville, FL– Verified Buyer
The table looks great. The real problem was the lack of directions. I tried to follow instructions from one of other reviewers and almost ruined table. My friend went on web and found instructions from manufacturer and put it together very easily. The metal cap needs to stay on! Do not remove try to remove it.
Great value and perfect size.
Ean from Toledo, OH– Verified Buyer
We love the style and adjustable height. Great price!! Looked everywhere and here it was all the time
The perfect accent to my game room
Linda from North Fort Myers, FL– Verified Buyer
Exactly what I hoped it would be! It fits perfectly in my game room and looks awesome! It's very classy looking. I love it!
Good buy
Amoy from Chandler, AZ– Verified Buyer
Looks great as shown in the picture. But the only thing is that it is a little bit of balance itself when standing on the title. You might need to find small soft pads to adjust balance to be more stable. Overall, it is good enough to have it!
sally from Billings, MT– Verified Buyer
Perfect for my small room where table was needed. Description was right on.
jack from saint louis, MO– Verified Buyer
The pub table was just right at a reasonable price.
Good for laptop users who like to stand up.

I ran my first 5k in Septemeber 2010 but then took a break from running for a bit. It wasn't until I signed up for the Brooklyn Half Marathon in spring 2011 that I started to take training seriously. Starting out was downright hard. I was out of shape. Running just one mile was difficult and I thought that achieving a sub 10 minute mile was impossible. The largest motivation for sticking with it was that I committed myself to money for Millenium Promise.
I don't know when it happened but at some point I started to enjoy the runs. This must have been a result of being in better shape and not hurting as much afterwards.
Even now, after 1000 miles, it is sometimes tough to get out there and start the run. Today I really had to build up motivation. When I went to run it was 24° F outside. I told myself that after the first half mile it would be fine. It was. I even managed to get too hot toward the end of the run. I have never regretted going for a run but I've certainly regretted not going.
Finishing Sleepy Hollow 10k; running isn't always easy but it is always worth it!

The Feminist and the Cowboy
by Alisa Valdes (Gotham)
Chick-lit novelist and longtime feminist finds herself falling for Marlboro Man typeand succumbing to his alpha-male assertiveness. This pas de deux broadly appealed, but dissenting readers had trouble with issues perhaps summed up in the former title of the authors blog: Learning to Submit.
New York Times-best-selling author Valdes memoir describes her mind and hearts journey from staunch intellectual feminist to a woman who finds herself deeply in love with the wrong man. Raised by progressive academics to espouse contemporary ideas about gender equality, she finds herself in a morally intractable position when she falls in love with a conservative rancher whose antiquated ideas about gender turn upside down nearly everything she believes to be true. The plot makes for a triumphant love story, but the writing comes off as pontifical at times, especially when Valdes indulges the occasional socio-political digression, which typically have little place in a memoir as deeply personal as this one. Riva K. Soucie, Washington, DC
Sassy, honest, and wicked smart, Valdes is the perfect narrator. Her journey to discovering that her life as a feminist is not nearly as fulfilling as the submissive, traditional relationship she develops with the cowboy is a compelling one. While this view may be unpopular today, it makes Valdes story a unique read filled with authentic romantic drama. Kristina DeVesty, Arlington, VA
Valdes memoir is as interesting as its title. She reflects on our roles as men and women in society, her personal growth and development resulting from her unlikely relationship with a modern cowboy, and the meaning of submission. Her changing philosophy and ideas, resulting from her relationship with a real life cowboy, sharply contrast with ideas many American women were raised to embrace and leave the reader with much to think about.
Julia McKissack, Valdosta, GA
While the conversational style of Valdes memoir is appealing, many may find it difficult to relate to or support either character in her story. While her points about feminism are interesting, Valdes often comes off as immature, and the cowboy remarkably controlling. The overall narrative, though interspersed with several salient and captivating moments, ends up becoming a difficult read. Melissa Jackson, Bloomington, IN
The Feminist and the Cowboy is a love story between a feisty single mom and a traditional cowboy; this alone puts it into chick lit territory, in which Valdes is well-versed. What begins as a romance against all odds quickly evolves into an argument for Valdes political beliefs. Readers unaware of her political leanings will question why Valdes adamantly argues her newfound position as a difference feminist to justify her relationship with someone so different from herself; one wonders why (and to whom) this is so important. Overly defensive and often contradictory, The Feminist and the Cowboy should keep the romance and left the politics behind. Maria MacNamara
Opposites attract in The Feminist and the Cowboy as Valdes, a lifelong liberal, finds a handsome New Mexico rancher who wants to treat her like a lady. Her comic approach and self-deprecating banter make the reader more likely to be accepting of this unlikely couple. Unfortunately, the narrative becomes slightly preachy when Valdes attempts to promote her newfound philosophy difference feminism, which purports that submission has its benefits. Penny Bernal, Encinitas, CA

Press Release of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer
|For Immediate Release:
June 7, 2007
Washington D.C. Office (202) 224-3553
Boxer Statement on the Cloture Vote on Immigration
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today issued the following statement on the immigration bill:
"I know how hard my colleagues have worked—on both sides of the aisle—to put this immigration bill together. But I believe that this bill, as it currently stands, is unworkable and unfair. This bill needs to be clarified, simplified, and rectified before I can support it.
"If enacted, I believe the bill will lead to the exploitation of workers, including the 12 million undocumented immigrants we all hope to put on the path to legalization. I also believe it will exert downward pressure on wages at a time when we are already losing our middle class.
"I have always been troubled by the inclusion of a guestworker program in the bill. The guest worker program is designed, in my opinion, to create a permanent pool of insecure and low-paid workers whom I believe will never leave the country, even though they are supposed to, according to the rules of the program. This will only continue the cycle of illegal immigration.
"There are concepts in the bill I strongly support – a path to legalization for the 12 million undocumented immigrants, a secure border, AgJobs, and the DREAM Act.

Last week, the Washington Post article, "More businesses are closing than starting. Can Congress help turn that around?" grabbed my attention. My response was whether or not all the startup support power laid in the hands of our nation's policy makers.
If you've ever taken a business 101 course, you probably heard this common piece of advice: the customer is always right. It's a customer service approach to business that relies on service staff placing a high priority on buyer satisfaction. The concept dates back to the 19th century when retail pioneers like Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field insisted on customer complaints being treated seriously in order to retain their business.
Last week tax season finally ended, as I'm sure most of you are still trying to forget. I was pretty sure I couldn't stand the sight of any more numbers for the time being, but then I came across an article with numbers I actually cared to take note of--the amount of money an entrepreneur would have to earn to make the equivalent of someone working a job for someone else.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
In this week's Huffington Post, the "Top 13 States for Startup Hiring" were named, according to StartupHire. My home state of Ohio was on the list....did your state make the cut?

AirTalk for August 5, 2013
Can the hypothetical 'Hyperloop' make California high-speed rail history?
Two high-speed rails. The alpha design for the hyperloop will be released Aug. 12. What might this 'fifth mode of transportation' look like, and how would it work?
Imagine travelling from Los Angeles to San Francisco in about thirty minutes without the help of Scotty. Elon Musk, the inventive entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX and PayPal, is envisioning a transportation tube he's calling a "fifth mode of transportation."
On August 12, he'll reveal the alpha design for the project, then crowd-source ideas from anyone and everyone with a brilliant scientific mind.
Musk thinks he can make it happen for about $6 billion and with competitive ticket prices. His inspiration stems from his derision for California's beleaguered high-speed rail project. He told Bloomberg Businessweek last year, "[T]he $60 billion bullet train they're proposing in California would be the slowest bullet train in the world at the highest cost per mile.
They're going for records in all the wrong ways." Is this the paradigm shift we've been waiting for? How much do we know about how it would work? Why is Musk releasing the alpha design as open source rather than patenting it? Should officials with the high-speed rail project be paying attention?
