CeBIT 2009 Previews, Open Source a Highlight
Linux and free software will get some prominence at the upcoming CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany, March 3-8. A star-studded preview event will open the show, and a press conference has already taken place in Munich.
March 2, a day before the CeBIT 2009 show opens, will be a celebrity event with German chancellor Andrea Merkel attending together with guest star Arnold Schwarzenegger. An initial press conference in Munich has already provided some first insights into the show. One featured theme is Internet and Mobile Solutions, for which CeBIT has reserved an area in Hall 6 under the coined rubric "Webciety." At the press conference, show organizer Sven Prüser mentioned how the world is becoming more Web-oriented, as evidenced by the recent U.S. elections.
CeBIT will dedicate an entire hall to security themes, with other venues focused on e-learning, RF identification and telehealth. For example, a "Future Care" display will demonstrate what doctors can anticipate in the digital age. Moving from hall to hall should prove not to be without its hazards: an "Autos in Dialogue" exhibit will have cars crossing intersections. What used to be called "green" in past years will now be under the "Energy-efficient IT" motto, at least according to Prüser, although Bitkom's Mario Tobias would rather have named it "Green IT World." Last year it was merely the "Green IT Village."
Close to the Webciety area, Open Source will get a forum of its own as a prominent theme at the show. Linux Magazine will be there as well, with its publisher Linux New Media AG having its own booth in Hall 6. The show will include programs with talks, keynotes and presentations about important Open Source projects. Keynote speakers will include Amanda McPherson (Linux Foundation), Simon Phipps (Sun Microsystems) and Georg Greve (Free Software Foundation Europe). Themes will include IT centers, Web, security, mobility, multimedia, distros and the desktop.
Linux New Media will also present its fifth annual awards at CeBIT. The awards will recognize individuals, projects, enterprises and organizations for their particularly innovative and engaging achievements in six categories.
Partners in the CeBIT Open Source initiative include the Linux Foundation, the Free Software Foundation Europe, the LiMo Foundation consortium and the German LIVE linux-verband.de.

So after two and a half years of austerity, [ cuts to a ton of services, pay freezes, etc etc ] and not forgetting inflation getting higher and with unemployment on the rise, the fiscal hole is now LARGER than it was when he first started. I bet he gets a Xmas bonus............
After 2 years of Labour saying "Cut slower, spend more on infrastructure to kickstart the economy", I saw this on BBC News yestersay:
BBC News - David Cameron hails plan to switch spending 'to fund schools'
Is this the return of BSF under another name?
I think we should all call for a "top earners pay cut in the public sector" - eg all government employees earning in excess of say £120,000 take a 6/7 % cut - think how much this could save us and they would all still be earning in excess of £108,000!
tech_guy (5th December 2012)
Yeah, anyone would think that following Gordon Brown's recipe for running the economy would be a runaway success but it turns out that it's a total, total failure.
I happened to catch a segment on the One Show last night (I still feel dirty) and they were talking about all the expected bad news, then said there is some good news coming - the planned 3p fuel duty rise is expected to be dropped.
That's not good news! That's just an absence of bad news, a negation of previous horror. You can't count that as good!
I can't remember who first posted this image on here, but I saved it at the time because it was so funny and relevant. That hasn't diminished at all in the intervening time.
The thing is, it isn't just George's fault but also the Bank of England's, as well as all these financial experts who advise the Government.
I think the problem is no one actually knows what's going on, so they'll just carry on cutting away. There never has been a financial crisis this big. You'd think that these experts would look at previous recessions and learn from these, but I don't think it's purely a numbers issue. There are lots of other factors not seen before, such as a lack of banking regulation but it's too little too late it seems.
I'm sick of political parties - they're all a joke. Wouldn't trust a single one of them as far as I could beat them with an iron bar.
That's a good idea actually - a massive fight to the death between the members of all parties for each position in cabinet, last remaining survivor from each role gets the job. At least we'd know they could handle themselves if/when we get invaded by "Insert Super Power Here"

Is the whole benefit system cut still going ahead? otherwise our taxes will be paying for my younger sister to have her 3rd child.... some one who has lost custody of 1 kid, cant look after number 2 and even denied her existance to the new boyfriend, never worked in her life because she refuses to and has been with the new guy for about 3 months.
Oh and she got a council house in 2 weeks compared to those real couples who are on a 2 year waiting list...
The price of petrol is 40% - 60% tax.
FORTY to SIXTY PERCENT TAX!
The others, not so much.
Erm... sorry about that.

Sadly, the original idea of the welfare state was that it gave you enough money to subsist on. That working would be more profitable.
This has changed, and that is why your sister can sit on her a**e, knocking out kids, whilst picking up a council house and lots of cash for her 46' telly and xbox for the latest boyfriend. (Sorry to @mthomas08 for making it seem like I'm only taking HIS post as gospel!)
This is how the world works now....The rich are "I'm alright, Jack" because they won't get taxed because they may "run away to another country". The people in the middle pay more tax, and more stealth staxes, and the people at the bottom squeeze out another kid or two and they'll be ok on benefits.....
I refer the honourable gentlemen (and ladies) to the following statement...
The UK deficit scam: `Evil George' Osborne is nailed despite mainstream media blackout
It made me feel quite sick watching him worm and wriggle as we (the poor) go to the wall.

How to Clean a Computer Monitor/LCD Screen
Three Methods:Cleaning the MonitorMaking a Cleaning SolutionPurchasing a Cleaning Solution
Cleaning your monitor regularly will help you see the display easier. There are many solutions available for purchase, but you can easily make a cleaning solution at home as well. Follow this guide to properly clean your computer monitor.
Method 1 of 3: Cleaning the Monitor
1Power down the monitor. This not only lowers the risk of electrocution, but will allow you to more easily see dust and grime on the screen.Ad
2Wipe the dust off with a dry cloth. Go in slow, circular motions. Do not apply too much pressure to the screen. Make sure to use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth to wipe. A large cloth is best, since it will help to reduce the risk of leaving streaks across the screen from finger pressure.
- Suggested non-abrasive cloths:
- Microfiber
- Cotton T-shirt
- Cotton handkerchief
- Cotton tea towel
- Avoid the following, as they are too abrasive:
- Paper towels
- Dish towels
- Facial tissue
- Suggested non-abrasive cloths:
3Apply cleaning solution to the cloth. Do not spray the solution directly onto the monitor. Drips can lead to malfunctions and permanent damage. Instead, spray the cloth with the cleaning solution. Apply a small amount of cleaning solution at a time, as excess moisture on the screen can damage it in the long run.
- See the sections below on making or purchasing cleaning solution
4Clean the grime off with the cloth. Work in small circles, and avoid direct pressure on the monitor. Do not scrape at any smudges; allow the cleaner to dissolve them.
- You may have to repeat the application and cleaning process several times for tough spots.
- Wipe off any excess moisture when you are finished cleaning.
5Let the monitor dry. Make sure that the monitor is completely dry before powering it back on. This will minimize the risk of moisture damaging the internal components.
- Do not use blow driers or any other heating mechanism to speed up the drying process. Let the drying occur by air.
Method 2 of 3: Making a Cleaning Solution
1Get the right water. Avoid using tap water when making a cleaning solution. Tap water often has minerals that can damage the monitor. Instead, use distilled water. Distilled water can be bought at most grocery outlets, or you can make your own.
2Add a cleaning agent. The two most popular cleaning agents for homemade solutions are isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar. Choice comes down to personal preference, as both are effective at removing tough grime. Avoid mixing the two though, stick with one or the other.
- Do not use any cleaning agent that uses ammonia, such as window cleaners, as this can discolor your monitor.
- When using isopropyl alcohol, don't use more than a 50/50 mix with distilled water. If you're using vinegar, start with a 50/50 mix and add more vinegar if the solution isn't strong enough.
- Vodka can work as a replacement for isopropyl alcohol.
Method 3 of 3: Purchasing a Cleaning Solution
1Read reviews. Most cleaning solutions use proprietary mixtures that they claim work best. See what other users have to say about the product before committing to a purchase.
- Some solutions act as more of a polish than a cleaner, so make sure to read the full product descriptions.
2Get a full cleaning kit. If you don't have any good cloth lying around, purchase a cleaning kit. These typically come with microfiber cloths suited to cleaning LCD displays.
3Consider cleaning wipes. If you'd like to avoid using and cleaning a cloth, you can purchase disposable cleaning wipes specifically designed for monitors.Ad
We could really use your help!
small business?
foot care?
cleaning carpet?
- Make sure that your screen is turned off and unplugged while cleaning. Do not plug the monitor back in until it is completely dry. Make sure to avoid liquids contacting other portions of the computer or getting inside the monitor.
Things You'll Need
- Soft cloth
- Cleaning solution

CORPUS CHRISTI - C.J. Cron drove in five runs and Brandon Hynick allowed one run over six frames as Arkansas beat Corpus Christi 8-6 Sunday at Whataburger Field before 6,843.
The Travelers snapped a five-game losing streak and the Hooks fell for the first time in five nights.
Hynick (4-3) surrendered a run on two hits in the first and threw blanks the rest of the way, retiring 14 straight. He walked two, struck out four and 52 of his 87 pitches were strikes.
Domingo Santana's two-out single plated Jiovanni Mier, giving Carlos Quevedo and the Hooks (29-20) a 1-0 first-inning advantage. Mier opened by sharply singling through the pitcher's box and an out later took third on Hynick's wild pitch.
Arkansas rode the long ball to a 4-1 lead in the third. Singles from Rolando Gomez and Kaleb Cowart set the stage for Cron's blast off the left-field cotton press. Randal Grichuk's eighth home run sent patrons on the left field berm scattering.
Quevedo (1-4) induced a double play ball to escape the third, but was pulled in favor of Andrew Robinson. Quevedo was peppered for eight hits over 43 pitches.
Robinson fared no better as the Travelers (25-23) erupted for three runs on four hits during the fourth. Cron stroked a two-out, two-run double and Grichuk added an RBI single.
Corpus Christi mounted a five-run rally in the eighth, batting around against Nick Maronde and Josh Judy. Ben Orloff keyed the uprising with a two-run single, George Springer contributed a run-scoring hit and Santana produced a sacrifice fly.
Maronde walked two Hooks who came around to score and a third run reached on third baseman Cowart's fielding miscue.
Judy walked a tightrope to earn his initial save of the season. He achieved the final five outs, wriggling out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth.
Arkansas out-hit the Hooks 15-6.
The series and homestand conclude Monday at 4:05 as Corpus Christi's Nick Tropeano (0-3) faces Matt Oye (4-3). Mrs Baird's presents Dollar Hot Dogs and Soda.

Turbo 3D Blu-ray Review
High speed thrills and a big heart in 3D.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, November 12, 2013
No dream is too big and no dreamer too small.
It would be easy to simply stamp Turbo as DreamWorks' Cars rip-off. Certainly the similarities are striking, from high speed animated racing and a spot on the map on the verge of extinction right down to the chrome font featured on the poster art. That doesn't mean Turbo can't hold its own in a race against Pixar's speed-centric digitally animated powerhouse franchise. The gap between the contenders isn't very wide, not from an animation perspective, not in terms of voice acting, nor story, nor heart. Turbo crosses the finish line with flair, crafting a touching, exciting, enveloping experience that's less about the race and more about the inner strength, the courage, and the support it takes to live a dream and see it through to the end, no matter the circumstances. The picture, then, is certainly awash in dramatic cliché, nearly as much as it is in Cars-like plot points and style. Yet for a movie that's not all that original, it manages to work incredibly well across the board. It's a classic stand-up-and-cheer sort, a movie that will leave the entire family satisfied with the experience.
Theo (voiced by Ryan Reynolds), a small snail amongst many, dreams big of life in the fast lane. He idolizes race car driver Guy Gagné (voiced by Bill Hader) and is always striving to improve his speed, much to the amusement of his fellow snails and much to the chagrin of his older brother Chet (voiced by Paul Giamatti). When Theo's television set breaks -- just as Guy is about to share his secret of success with the world, no less -- the suddenly dejected and defeated snail leaves home to sulk and watch the speeding Los Angeles traffic flow on past him. His fortunes take a turn for the better when he finds himself on top of a car involved in a high-speed race. He's pulled into the engine but instead of meeting a terrible death, he's infused with nitrous oxide and discovers that he's now fast. Very fast. Not fast for a snail, but fast enough to hang with Guy and other racers. Another stroke of luck has him and his brother captured by Tito (voiced by Michael Peña), one-half of a brother team working at an out-of-the-way taco stand that, along with a few other nearby businesses, is on the verge of disappearing forever. Tito quickly learns Theo's secret and wishes to exploit it for the restaurant's business fortunes by collecting enough money to enter Theo into the Indianapolis 500. His brother Angelo (voiced by Luis Guzmán) outright rejects the proposition, but Tito convinces his fellow nearby business owners that their scheme just might work. They head to Indy to enter Theo, now going by the name Turbo, into the race, but the question remains whether the snail can hang with the speeding cars and not end up the world's most famous case of roadkill.
Turbo in many ways embodies the modern digital children's movie. It's abundantly colorful and amazingly detailed to the cutting edge of modern technology. The story blends action, humor, and well-developed and hugely likable characters with an evident tenderness and an agreeably simplistic message made even more meaningful thanks to an abundance of heart and a readily evident soul. It's a quality movie all the way around, even considering the rather large bit of thematic, structural, and plot unoriginality present throughout. Yet the picture races past its similarities to other films, manages to create a unique identity, and settles into the upper-tier of animated pictures, playing well enough for repeat viewings and zooming on by much of the competition by holding firm to the winning formula of a complex and colorful exterior combined with a basic yet touching and ever-relevant inside lane message.
That message may be over-simplified throughout the film, but it's evenly integrated into the entire experience. Instead of wearing thin, it only grows more relevant as the story progresses, culminating in a terrific finish that embodies its very spirit. The film centers its values on the power and importance of belief. Turbo believes that, one day, he will be fast, faster than he already is. He works hard and certainly befalls a good bit of luck to get him to Indianapolis, but at the core is that constant push to be better and the unflappable determination to be the snail he believes he's destined to become. However, his brother Chet tries to push him down, to keep his dreams in check, discouraging him from hoping for something greater than what nature has given him, to push away thoughts of beating his lot in life to become a snail separate from the others. Then, there's Tito, a man who dreams big and wildly -- sometimes a bit too big and too wildly -- of finding greater success with his taco shop. His brother, Angelo, is content to settle for mediocrity, celebrating a good day of a few extra sales but failing to find the determination to seize the opportunity and shoot for the stars. The film fully explores its core values in Turbo and Tito's team-up, playing them as something akin to interspecies brothers who demonstrate what can happen when two dreamers come together to accomplish the impossible, whether with a bit of help or completely on their own.
Much of Turbo's success may be traced to its construction. The characters are rather stock but nevertheless very well shaped by the writers and animators both, the former providing them a soul and the latter a fun, memorable embodiment to carry the film's message and add some attractive visual spice to the experience. Though the characters are rather smooth and plastic-like, they show a very real, very perceptible energy and believability, which is as much a result of terrific voice acting as it is quality animation. Ryan Reynolds is quite good as Turbo. He brings the character's innermost being to the surface, finding a stabilizing force that helps keep the audience with the character even in the midst of serious cliché. Bill Hader impresses as the egotistical, modern-day aristocratic racer Guy Gagné, while Samuel L. Jackson and Snoop Dogg are terrific as a couple of snails that help Turbo along in his quest. The real voice stars, however, are Michael Peña and Luis Guzmán, whose voices shape the film's two most memorable characters. There's an unmistakably excellent rapport between them that's shaped not only by the voices but through an animation that creates a very real brotherly harmony about them, a visually perceptible chemistry in the way they interact and even look at one another in moments of contentment and frustration both. A scene in which they share a taco lunch is made all the more special by a subtle glance and a sincere smile that open up the characters and give them a lifeblood most other animated figures lack at their very cores.
Turbo 3D Blu-ray, Video Quality
Turbo speeds onto Blu-ray with an enjoyable 3D presentation. The image retains the same excellent characteristics of its 2D-only counterpart (also included in this package) and adds a fair, but not particularly memorable, 3D layer of animated goodness. The 3D presentation doesn't dim or in any way lessen the dazzling impact of the usual characteristics. Colors remain bold and accurate. The variety of colors appear even and satisfying at every turn, whether neon shades popping under the cover of darkness or bright reds and blues shining under bright sunlight. Details, too, enjoy pinpoint accuracy across the board, revealing with seemingly limitless clarity individual grasses, earthen terrains, pot-marked roadways, and Dos Bros. Tacos menus seen in the background of several shots. Black levels remain strong, and the image doesn't show any disturbing banding, blocking, or other negatives. The 3D effects are fine, but not spectacular. The image fares best when showing its many ground-level shots. Distance seems endless in such shots, whether down at grass level at Theo and Chet's home or the Indianapolis roadway during the big race which spans the third act. Characters and objects appear shapely and depth at normal shooting heights is also satisfactory. There aren't very many effects that appear to extend beyond the screen, however. The review equipment did reveal fairly regular instances of crosstalk. Overall, this is a good 3D transfer, but it's not one that's leaps and bounds the better choice over the regular release.
Turbo 3D Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Turbo zooms onto Blu-ray with a powerhouse DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 lossless soundtrack, alongside an assortment of additional audio and subtitle language options. The primary English track offers incredible stage presence in every area of concern. Whether a lawnmower powering through the stage, jets zooming overhead, or cars rumbling down the track at high speed, the track delivers a wide, seamless soundstage and brings its major effects to life with precision placement, movement, and sonic accuracy, right down to the ribcage-rattling low end support pieces. Music, too, is excellent. The track's more vibrant, happening tunes -- particularly Jump Around -- bring an incredible energy, tightness, and low end heft into the stage. Clarity is superb across all sound effects and musical elements, too. Supportive ambient effects are well integrated into the track at all pertinent points. Dialogue plays evenly and accurately from the center. This is a robust, active, and highly enjoyable soundtrack that, like the video, will satisfy all audiences.
Turbo 3D Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Turbo contains a typical allotment of extras for a DreamWorks Animation title. Notably absent, however, is an audio commentary track. All supplements may be found on the included 2D-only disc. No 3D specific supplements are included.
Turbo 3D Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Turbo is a fun, action-packed, heartfelt, and sincere journey of a small creature destined for big things. Sure that's a recycled plot, but it works surprisingly well thanks to terrific animation, better voice performances, and a focus on message that never wavers and culminates in the perfect ending for the story. It's suitable for all ages and will please children and adults alike with its energy and sincerity both. This DreamWorks/Fox Blu-ray 3D release of Turbo features quality 3D video and reference audio. A decent assortment of extras are included. Very highly recommended.

I DO NOT sell my videos and photos individually, because I have way too many!! Plus I make new ones weekly. Keeping up with links, passwords, downloads, etc etc. for each set would be silly for a content whore like myself. For that reason, the easiest and only way to get my goods is to join my site! One login, one convenient spot to access and download all of my goodies in a variety of formats!
I enjoy a lively, talkative chat room. Tokens or not, if you're in my room please contribute to the conversation and help keep the vibe alive! When the room falls silent that's my signal to log off and find something else to entertain myself!

Propane tanks suspected in Overland Park house fire
The Overland Park Fire Department said a poorly-placed propane tank is suspected of causing a house fire that caused $20,000 in damage late Tuesday morning.
Firefighters were called to the house in the 10000 block of England Drive about 11 a.m. after reports of a garage fire. Crews said they made sure everyone was out of the house quickly and got the fire out.
The fire caused smoke damage throughout the home.
Investigators said the homeowner and set some old propane tanks in the driveway and opened the nozzles so they could empty. They said propane came into the garage and ignited from the furnace or water heater.
Experts urged propane users to empty tanks in open spaces far away from any ignition sources.
No one was injured in the fire.

When one views Bill Card's woodcarvings, his great love and appreciation for the outdoors and its creatures is most evident. Growing up in Northeastern Connecticut, fishing in its streams and hunting in its fields, he has now traded his fishing rod and shotgun for carving tools and a paintbrush.
Mr. Card's interest in carving began about 12 years ago, stimulated by his contact with an old-time carver friend from Maine. Even though his work has won numerous prizes, he carves primarily for the love of creating sculptures of wildlife in naturalistic settings and for the joy that his work brings to people.
Mr. Card's carvings are mostly of fish and birds, with an occasional reptile for the sake of variety. His birds of prey include a peregrine falcon, a merlin, and a golden eagle, among others. And his carved ducks and songbirds include a black duck, an old squaw, as well as a cardinal and a black-capped chickadee. Card has also carved many fish, such as the brown trout, the rainbow trout, the brook trout and the striped bass. When asked for his favorite subject, he says, "Raptors, for their majestic appearance and the way they command respect."
Bill Card lives in South Windham for about six months of the year and spends the second half in Maine, where he indulges in his other passion, flying airplanes and gliders.

Pittston post office named for late trooper
The U.S. Post Office on Dock Street in Pittston was rededicated as the Trooper Joshua D. Miller Post Office during a ceremony this morning.
"Long after every single person standing here today is gone, that plaque will still be there," Miller's widow, Angie, said during the ceremony.
Miller, 34, of Pittston Township, was killed June 7, 2009, in a firefight with a kidnapping suspect in Monroe
Angie Miller unveiled the plaque with U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, who sponsored the bill in Congress to rename the post office.
Dozens of state police troopers and officials, including Commissioner Frank Noonan, took part in the event.
"Very few people get to have the impact Josh Miller had. His is a life worth remembering," Noonan said.

It has been quite a day so far in DC. Apparently, a building at the corner of 14th and G Streets — right outside my window at New York and 14th — was evacuated after police spied a "suspicious-looking" automobile parked on G Street. The White House and Treasury were evacuated (again, a regular ocurrence these days), and there were all kinds of people crowded on 14th. The DC bomb squad arrived. There were police everywhere.
Thankfully there was no kaboom. The all-clear was given about 30 minutes after all this began.
Traffic seems lighter today and there appear to be far fewer people on the streets. I don't know if that's just my imagination or what.11:18 am on July 7, 2005 Email Charles H. Featherstone

Responsive Website
New responsive website, branding and printed collateral for one of the UK's premium timber window and door manufacturers.
Internet users don't just look at websites on desktop PCs any more. They haven't for years and browsing habits are changing faster than you might think.
Modern devices like tablets and smartphones mean your website can be accessed on platforms with a myriad of screen sizes and resolutions. You don't want to spend money on multiple different sites or work to the lowest common denominator, so what to do?
Well, as access to modern devices and up-to-date browsers has increased, so it has become possible to create websites that can be coded once and viewed in differing ways on pretty much any device that supports the framework technologies that make responsive design possible.
If you are viewing this very site on a desktop PC, try changing the size of the browser window. You'll see that as you shrink or enlarge the window, the design of the site alters. This is the essence of responsive design, creating websites so they are able to adapt for optimal viewing across a variety of devices with their array of screen sizes.
In a 2012 study by MobiThinking, 25% of mobile web-browsers were "mobile only". They never used a desktop or laptop PC. Their prediction was that by 2015, there would be more mobile internet users than not. Even if you thought this trend might be overstated (it's not), then there's the cost savings to think about too. No need to code special versions of your new website, just optimise one site for everybody. Ideal.
From web content management systems to responsive website design and social media, we can help you establish an online presence that makes a difference.

I envy paranoids; they actually feel people are paying attention to them.Susan Sontag
If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others.

This damnable sex, boys - ah, you do well to writhe in your beds at the very mention of the word. All the evil of our modern times springs from unholy lust, the act of the dog and the bitch on the bouncing bed, limbs going like traction engines, the divine gift of articulate speech diminished to squeals and groans and pantings. It is terrible, terrible, an abomination before God and His Holy Mother. Lust is the fount of all other of the deadly sins, leading to pride of the flesh, covetousness of the flesh, anger in the thwarting of desire, gluttony to feed the spent body to be at it again, envy of the sexual prowess and sexual success of others, sloth to admit enervating day-dreams of lust. Only in the married state, by Gods holy grace, is it sanctified, for then it becomes the means of begetting fresh souls for the peopling of the Kingdom of Heaven.Anthony Burgess
Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.Jaques D'ambroise
Oh come, please come, to the Poor Mouth Fair Where the Saints kneel round in their underwear And say out prayers that most need saying For needful sinners who've forgotten praying; And in every alcove and niche you spy The living dead who envy the long since gone Who never wished to die.Ray Douglas Bradbury
Under the dominion of the priests our earth became the ascetic planet; a squalid den careering through space, peopled by discontented and arrogant creatures, who were disgusted with life, abhorred their globe as a vale of tears, and who in their envy and hatred of beauty and joy did themselves as much harm as possible.Georg Morris Cohen Brandes
Even after making up one's mind to the sacrifices I had decided upon, there is always left a trace of envy for those who have triumphed in the melancholy struggle for literary supremacy.Paul Charles Joseph Bourget
A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.Thomas C. Haliburton

OJ bid for new trial starting in Las Vegas court
Monday, May 13th, 2013 10:02 a.m.
On Monday, the former football hero returns to Clark County District Court with a different set of lawyers hoping to convince a judge that Galanter shouldn't have been handling his armed robbery-kidnapping case — that the lawyer who was paid nearly $700,000 for Simpson's defense had a personal interest in preventing himself from being identified as a witness to the crimes and so misled Simpson that the former football star deserves a new trial.

Posted: Thu Nov 15 2012
Almost everything about Giant is huge. Set on a 2.5-million-acre Texas ranch, this is an Off Broadway musical of commanding scope and scale, with a 17-piece orchestra and a 22-actor cast. The story, adapted from Edna Ferber's 400-page novel, stretches from the mid-1920s through the dawn of the Eisenhower era, and touches on major themes: sex, class, politics, greed, anti-Mexican bigotry, the changing role of women. And the Public Theater's three-hour production, directed by Michael Greif, conveys a stately authority. Yet this epic saga rarely catches you up in its sweep.
Bick (Brian d'Arcy James) is a cattleman with an estate called Reata; Leslie (Kate Baldwin) is the genteel Virginia girl he marries, to the annoyance of his ornery sister (Michele Pawk). Bick cares about the land—which he calls "heartbreak country"—at least as much as he cares about Leslie, and the musical struggles to engage us in their chilly, stultified marriage. Supporting actors have forceful moments, including PJ Griffith as a snaky striver, John Dossett as a gruff uncle, and the superb Katie Thompson as a brokenhearted woman who rebounds with a ranch hand. But Sybille Pearson's panoramic book too often seems out of focus.
Although Michael John LaChiusa's fibrous score is typically complex and ambitious—with jarring tonal shifts and flecks of mariachi and jazz—it lacks the variety, humor and melodic expansiveness that lifted Giant's clearest musical-theater precedent, 1928's Show Boat. No matter how much he may love it, LaChiusa seems fundamentally mismatched with the material; he's Leslie to Giant's Bick. For the composer's admirers, including me, that puts this commendable but attenuated musical somewhere in heartbreak country.—Adam Feldman

Governor Dayton's Statement on the November 2011 Budget Forecast
December 01, 2011
Today, Governor Mark Dayton released the following statement on the November 2011 Budget Forecast:
"This forecast is terrific news for Minnesota. It is especially encouraging, because our state's economic improvement has occurred despite a lagging national recovery. By several key measures, Minnesota has returned to its accustomed place of leading the nation's economy, rather than lagging behind it, as during the previous few years.
"Total wages for 2011 to date have increased by 4.8% in Minnesota, compared to 4.0% nationwide. Last year, our state's total wages increased by 2.8%, compared to the country's 2.0%. Our current unemployment rate of 6.4% is well below the national 9.0%. There are still 192,000 Minnesotans unemployed; so this is no time for rejoicing. However, there are 53,000 more Minnesotans working today than were at the bottom of the "Great Recession" over two years ago.
"I am particularly pleased at our success in controlling health care spending. Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson and her team have done an outstanding job of reducing expected costs. Their success is expected to save our state $308 million in the current biennium.
"On the other hand, this improvement in Minnesota's fiscal outlook has come at an unnecessarily high price. Republican legislators' devotion to protecting millionaires from paying their fair share of taxes comes at the expense of everyone else. Home owners and business owners throughout our state are facing crushing property tax increases, due to the Republicans' insistence on cutting Local Government Aid and eliminating the Homestead Credit.
"The state has borrowed an additional $700 million from our public schools and another $700 million from future revenues. Those one-time gimmicks will cause a significantly greater structural deficit in the next biennium than my balanced budget proposal would have produced.
"I will not recommend any adjustments in this biennium's budget until after next February's forecast. I note that a year ago, the predicted deficit changed by over $1 billion in just those three months.
"I am hopeful, however, that continuing improvement in that forecast will permit us to accelerate our schedule for repaying to our schools the money borrowed from them last summer."
Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson added:
"The good news today is that we are starting to bend the cost curve on the fastest growing part of the state budget—Health and Human Services—and we are doing so at a time when more and more people are turning to public programs. Even with more people turning to us for assistance, we have made efforts to do business in smarter, more cost-effective way, and the result is over $300 million in savings, reflected in today's budget forecast. These savings are the result of a combination of common sense reforms at the state and county level and support from Federal Health and Human Services programs.
"The spending savings of $308 million we see today reflects, in large part, changes in the way we do business. Given the demographic challenges that are ahead of our state, we know that we must continue to redesign our programs so that we can continue to provide cost-effective quality care and protection for our most vulnerable citizens."

Careers Information and Jobs - Teaching Dance in Schools
Teaching Dance in Schools
There are an increasing number of opportunities to teach dance both in and outside of the curriculum. In primary schools dance is mostly taught by the pupils' classroom teacher. In secondary schools there are many opportunities to teach dance as an individual subject or combined with other subjects such as physical education, drama or performing arts. Dance is part of the National Curriculum and the number of examination courses for or including dance is growing. A number of new initiatives have helped to strengthen the place of dance in schools and have led to an increase in the provision of extra-curricular dance clubs. Currently there is a shortage of qualified dance specialists working in schools.
We have a lot of enquiries from people wanting to know what qualifications they need to teach dance in schools. The answer depends on the way in which they want to work, for example:
- as a teacher delivering dance as part of the school curriculum
- as a visiting dance artist/practitioner delivering work during curriculum time
- as a dance artist/dance practitioner teaching outside of curriculum time
The following guidelines provide an overview of the current situation regarding teaching in maintained or non-maintained special schools in England. The qualifications needed for teaching the Post 16 sector (further education) are different to those required for schools. For further information see below.
By law the following people are allowed to teach in schools during curriculum time:
- Teachers with qualified teacher status (QTS) For further information see below
- Trainee teachers on employer based teacher training routes to QTS (e.g. the Graduate Teacher Programme) For further information see below
- Overseas trained teachers who have taught in England for less than four years (to continue working QTS must be achieved within four years)
- Instructors (e.g. actors, dance artists, language specialists but without QTS) For further information see below
- Staff employed to assist or support the work of anyone in the above categories, subject to having the necessary skills, and being supervised and directed by the teacher (e.g. classroom assistants).
Qualified Teacher Status
QTS is awarded to teachers who have demonstrated that they meet the required Professional Standards for Teachers which can be gained by undertaking a training programme/course accredited by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). QTS is awarded by the General Teaching Council (GTC) to those who successfully complete the training programme/course and who also demonstrate that they have met the professional standards. The standards include a requirement that trainees pass skills tests in ICT, literacy and numeracy before they are awarded QTS. Once QTS is awarded, teachers become NQT's (Newly Qualified Teachers) and must successfully complete a one-year induction period in order to continue working as a teacher. Teachers with QTS must be registered with the GTC in order to be employed in schools.
For those wishing to teach dance in secondary schools, there are two main routes to gaining QTS. For both you need a degree, normally with a minimum of 50% Dance, plus GCSE's at Grade C or above in English and Maths:
- The PGCE Route is a one year full-time course at a University or other higher education provider.
- School Direct offers employment based routes to Qualified Teacher Status. The programme can offer graduates a salary while they work as a teacher in a school and train at the same time.
Currently, there are no undergraduate courses in Dance with QTS but most Bachelor of Education Courses for Physical Education (with QTS) include some training to teach dance.
Instructors are unqualified teachers who may be employed to carry out the same work as qualified teachers to give instruction in a particular subject or skill where special qualifications and/or experience are required but only for the period for which there is no qualified teacher or trainee teacher available to supply those skills/qualifications. We are aware that dance artists/practitioners find work in schools on this basis but in this situation there is no guarantee of anything other than short-term employment. You will be expected to have enhanced DBS clearance but should, if employed as an instructor, be covered by the schools insurance policy (check!) See below for further information about DBS checks and public liability insurance.
Visiting dance artist/practitioner delivering work during curriculum time
In this role artists and practitioners are visitors to the school who have been invited to provide a specific dance experience which may be linked to specific projects or celebrations. The details of the work should be negotiated with the school and tailored to meet the needs of the school and the pupils. The fee is agreed with the school and a contract drawn up. Teachers have overall responsibility for their classes and should be present throughout. When working in this context you should have a current enhanced DBS clearance and an appropriate level of public liability insurance. See below for further information about DBS and public liability insurance.
Dance artist/dance practitioner teaching outside of curriculum time
There are increasing opportunities for dance artists, dance practitioners and other out of school dance providers to work in schools delivering breakfast, lunchtime and after school dance clubs/activities either employed by the school or sometimes by a School Sports Partnership. When working in this context you should have a current enhanced DBS clearance and an appropriate level of public liability insurance. See below for further information about DBS and public liability insurance.
Teaching qualifications other than QTS
Increasingly schools are asking about teaching qualifications held by dance artists/ providers who are looking to work in schools (e.g. supporting GCSE within curriculum time, after school clubs etc.) In some dance styles (ballroom dance and ballet for example) there are well established and recognised governing/ awarding bodies where the level of teaching qualification is recognised by those who work in that style but which may not be understood by teachers in schools.
The Dance Training and Accreditation Partnership (DTAP) is seeking to:
- establish a nationally recognised qualification for those teaching dance to young people outside of the formal school sector (first pilots are planned for September 2009)
- take forward work to develop regulation of dance leadership, teaching and facilitation in the informal sector
- develop greater communication and collaboration across the dance sector on issues of quality, standards and good practice
Working in Further Education
Teachers in the FE sector are now expected to work towards gaining Qualified Teacher Status in Learning and Skills (QTLS) or Associate Teacher Status in Learning and Skills (ATLS). The qualification route taken to towards QTLS status or ATLS status is determined by the role and the breadth of teaching responsibilities undertaken rather than the number of hours taught. There are a variety of ways in which professional status can be achieved (all of which are possible whilst working) and specific time limits in which this must be achieved. For further information click here
The Institute for Learning (IfL) is the organisation responsible for awarding professional status. Teachers with QTLS or ATLS are not qualified to teach in schools.
CRB/ DBS Checks
A DBS (previously CRB) check is the term used to describe the process of gaining clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service of your suitability to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults. To work in school settings you need Enhanced Disclosure. Even if you have a current disclosure certificate, some schools require that you are checked again before they will employ you and this usually takes several weeks. For further information click here
CRB/DBS offer an Update service which is now available. i.e. if you have a current CRB check you can sign up for the update service (at a cost of £13 per year) which means that where ever you go an employer will be able to just check the validity of your CRB rather than you having to get a new one for every employment. You can access the service, and information about it, here - https://www.gov.uk/dbs-update-service
Public Liability Insurance
When working as a dance artist/practitioner in schools settings, you need to have your own public liability insurance. The school, school sports partnership or local authority should be able to advise of the level (£5 million is usually the minimum). You may be able to obtain this through your own professional body or through organisations like Dance UK or the Foundation for Community Dance. If you work for a dance agency, dance company etc. you should be covered through their insurance policy but only for work you undertake on their behalf. For any other work you will need your own cover. Check carefully to ensure you have an appropriate level of insurance for the work you are doing.
