So frickin jealous of what they have in Ames. It's truly amazing what Fred has done coming in with 0 coaching experience.
Too many close picks for me.
This is one of those games that when it starts to go bad, it's going to slide downhill like a truckfull of anvils racing towards Wile E. Coyote sitting in a shed full of nitroglycerin. Whoever gets the early Mojo going will win by 17+. I hope that team is ISU.

Hope I'm proved extremely long, but TT 42 ISU 17. We have unlimited potential and could very well repeat last year, but I can also see Steely Jantz turning the ball over 5+ times. If we can keep the turnovers to a minimum, we could/should pull it off (fingers crossed.)

Telepresence robot blimp sends your real-world avatar anywhere
Some of the most amazing innovations often turn out to be the simplest, as exampled by this new twist on telepresence robots that uses mini-blimps to effectively give you a completely mobile avatar in the real world.
Developed by Tobita Hiroaki and the team at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories, the helium-filled floating balloon projects the live image of the transmitter while moving through real space via small remote-controlled propellers situated beneath the balloon. Although the invention looks a bit creepy at first, this is probably the closest someone has come to an immediately usable (and seemingly affordable) mobile telepresence avatar to date. You can see the telepresence robot blimp in action in the video below.

Johnny Depp is back in Captain Jack Sparrow's swashbucklin' duds -- and "Pirates 4" director Jerry Bruckheimer just tweeted this shot of him on set.
This pic of Johnny was taken from the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," which is currently filming in Hawaii.
(See more pics from the set!)
The movie opens next summer, question is ...
Ah, what's the pirates code? Take all the money, give noughing back. Which is exactly what Mr. Depp intends to do!
"Take all the money, give noughing back. Which is exactly what Mr. Depp intends to do!"
Johnny Depp, throughout his career, has provided amazing dramatic and comedic performances that have and will always be memorable. He gives 99-100 percent of himself in his roles.

"To be an American means to take responsibility for democratic purposes, practices, vitality, and viability. But unlike liberty, civic knowledge and capability are not bestowed at birth. They are hard won, through education at all levels and through taking seriously the perspectives of others. Democratic insight and competence are always in the making, always incomplete... civic learning needs to be an integral component of every level of education."

iPad Air quite popular in first weekend of sales
During the debut of iOS 7, OS X Mavericks and the iPhone 5s and 5c, we regaled TUAW readers with facts and figures on the relative adoption rate of each new Apple product compared to previous products. The numbers came from two sources: Chitika Research and Fiksu. The latter company added an iPad Air tracker to the mix over the past weekend, and although the sales numbers are minuscule compared to overall iPad sales, the iPad Air appears to have an adoption rate almost five times that of the fourth-generation iPad.
Fiksu's numbers, which are based on impressions on its ad network, show the three-day adoption rate for the iPad Air at 0.73 percent of the entire iPad installed base. By comparison, the iPad 4 was only at 0.15 percent of the installed base after the same amount of time. The iPad mini was a bit higher at launch, at about 0.21 percent of installed base after three days.
Only time will tell if the numbers will continue to show higher adoption rates or if the initial surge was due to pent-up demand for a new device.

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
This month we explore what it takes to bring cycling to the suburbs by looking at Washington County, our suburban neighbor to the west. While Portland likes to ring it's proverbial bike bell for being bike friendly, we'll be talking to Hal Ballard, Executive Director at the Washington County Transportation Coalition, Heather McCarey, Executive Director of the Westside Transportation Alliance and Will Vanlue, grass roots cycling advocate from Tigard about making new places for cycling in the daunting landscape of the suburbs.
On the September episode we'll be joined in the studio by the movers, shakers and hard workers that are figuring out new and improved ways to bring cycling to the suburbs and rural areas that surround them. While cities are built for short trips, the suburbs present new obstacles and challenges for designers and planners to make facilities available to the average Nike/soccer mom, Intel/BBQ dad, and safe for the whole family. Join us while we explore the creative ways these folks are finding solutions, or call in with your own stories and suggestions!

As TriMet begins considering fares for a new fiscal year, some community members are calling on the transit authority to address inequities between MAX and bus transfer policies that hurt working class families relying on bus service. While MAX transfers are valid two hours from purchase, bus transfer policy is based on destination point, a confusing formula that some bus riders claim results in arbitrary and sometimes discriminatory assignment of transfer times.
The Portland City Council has voted to approve a bike-sharing program that would draw from two million dollars in federal funding.
Portland is following the lead of a dozen major U-S cities that have had success with similar automated community bicycle programs, which make bicycles available to the public for a fee.
KBOO's Jenn Chavez spoke with Gerik Kransky, advocacy director with the Portland-based Bicycle Transportation Alliance, who testified before the City Council in support of the program.
He shed some light on how a bike-sharing program in Portland will work.

December 18, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An Arizona-based charter school company says it will not try to place schools in Tennessee for now.
The statement came from Great Hearts Academies on Wednesday after the Metro Nashville school board denied the company's application for a third time.
Tennessee Charter School Association Executive Director Matt Throckmorton told The Tennessean that every charter application shouldn't be what he called "a brand-new political discussion."
School board members said they were concerned that a Great Hearts Academy would draw from affluent white families, rather than bringing in students from other parts of the city to create a more diverse student body.
Great Hearts said might reapply if the approval process is revamped.

Hey, I haven't updated at all this weekend, and that's ok.
Well... I haven't done much, but I did hook up my mixer and get Sonar working on my computer so I can record musics and stuff.
And here's what I did randomly last night for two hours, my sort of test recording thingy. It's sloppy and improvisatory, so don't expect too much:
Deer and Ewe
(oh yeah, and when you think you hear that the timing is really off.... it is. it's not my fault, the MIDI and wave were really hard to sync up because of problems with different versions of Cakewalk... blah blah blah)
Goodnight everyone... I still have work to do and sleep to sleep. BYE MY DOGS!

Which resident organisations make up The Wheeler Centre?
Do you have spaces for hire?
Rooms within the Centre are available for hire. For more information about spaces for hire please contact us on 9094 7809 or email@example.com
Can I pop in at any time?
There are two areas open to the public: the Writers Victoria and The Moat café. All other areas of the Centre are office and workshop / meeting spaces for the Centre management and resident organisations, open from 9am to 5:45pm on week days.
Do I need to book for events?
The majority of events will be free or cheap. To ensure you don't miss out on any events, it is strongly recommended that you book your seat online. Seating is not numbered. Your print at home ticket is confirmation that you have booked a seat at that event. Bookings can only be made online or purchased one hour prior to the event at the door. Events which reach capacity (ie: SOLD OUT) will be closed to further bookings on the website.
Can I get something to eat or drink?
The Moat Café is situated below the Wheeler Centre, and offers meals and drinks prior to – and following – events at the centre. Further information can be found at The Moat's website.
Is the Wheeler Centre fully accessible?
Every effort has been made to ensure that the Wheeler Centre's events are accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Wheeler Centre events have unallocated seating – please contact us if you require reserved seating to accommodate your access needs.
Our building includes ramps, disabled toilets and lifts for those with limited mobility. AUSLAN interpretation is available upon request. Please contact the Wheeler Centre at firstname.lastname@example.com – or phone (03) 9094 7809 – at least two weeks prior to the event.
Where is the Centre located?
The Wheeler Centre is located in a newly renovated wing of the State Library of Victoria on the corner of Swanston and Little Lonsdale Streets. The Wheeler Centre entrance is in Little Lonsdale Street – here's a map to help you find it.
Are you a part of the State Library?
We are based in the south wing of the State Library of Victoria, an organisation with which we have a natural affinity, although we are not part of the library.
How do I get there?
The Wheeler Centre is serviced by Swanston Street trams and Melbourne Central Train station. Parking is available opposite in the QV Complex. Here's a map and more information about the venue.
Are there any employment opportunities?
There are currently no employment opportunities available at the Wheeler Centre. Future opportunities will be advertised on the website.
Why the Wheeler Centre?
Tony and Maureen Wheeler sold the controlling stake in their Lonely Planet Publications to BBC Worldwide in 2007 and set up the Planet Wheeler Foundation. The Foundation made a substantial donation to the new Centre, specifically to fund expanded programming.
The Wheelers started Lonely Planet Publications, a brand intrinsically linked to books, writing and ideas, on their kitchen table over 30 years ago. It went on to become one of Australia's most successful publishing companies and one of the most recognisable in the world.
How does the Wheeler Centre deal with political issues?
The Wheeler Centre is committed to programming events on a range of issues across the areas of literature and ideas.
In relation to programming debates and events discussing issues of major community or political interest, the Wheeler Centre is committed to making reasonable efforts to ensure that there is balance in the views presented. This may be achieved over time, across the programme, rather than necessarily within each distinct event.
Regarding the coverage of issues during a federal, state or local government election campaign, the Wheeler Centre will attempt to provide equal time and opportunity for spokespeople from the major political parties, and to facilitate a balance of political opinion.
Do I have to book?
What if an event is booked out?
The event page on the Wheeler Centre website calendar will display a "Booked Out" sign if the event has been booked to capacity. However, changes may occur prior to the event so be sure to check back regularly.
If you are unable to secure a booking for a sold out free event, but are very keen to attend, we recommend trying your luck at the door. Occasionally seats remain spare because people who have booked are unable to attend.
For free events we take a waiting list on the door immediately prior to the event and once the event commences, we will offer spare seats to those first on the waiting list.
Are donations to the Wheeler Centre tax deductible?
All donations of $2 and more are tax deductible and donors will be issued with a receipt. The Wheeler Centre holds both DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) and TCC (Tax Concession Charity) status and is listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations (ROCO).
What is the Wheeler Centre's ABN?
The Wheeler Centre (trading as Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas) has the ABN 97 134 682 189.
The Wheeler Centre is a Company Limited by Guarantee and is registered with the ASIC. All prices are in Australian dollars.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "By the Light of the Moon"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
For the midseason finale of such a typically thrilling show, "By the Light of the Moon" felt like a letdown.
The CW teased sex between Stefan and Katherine, whereas the true focus of the episode was on Tyler's transformation, as well as the return of Rose. What did our staff think of the installment? What are our hopes for the near future?
Find out in this edition of The Vampire Diaries Round Table!
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt R: I enjoyed Damon's final interaction with Rose. Sorry, Delena Shippers, but it looks like he's developing legitimate feelings for another woman. Not that I can blame him. How cool is this "special" friend?!?
Steve M: The first time Elijah popped up on screen, behind Jenna. This guy has the best entrances of of any character on the show, don't you think?
Gabrielle C: Because the show was pretty "bleh" last night, I'll go with the most hot and heavy one: Katherine's implant dream into Stefans head. Hot!
Tyler's transformation: Totally awesome, or a total letdown?
Matt R: The scenes themselves? Very well-produced, directed and acted. But I was hoping the transformation would lead to something more than what we already knew: that Tyler is a werewolf who turns during a full moon.
Steve M: But it will lead someplace else, Matt. As teased by the cast, Caroline and Tyler will grow even closer now, which should make it interesting when he finds out she's been lying about how many vampires are in town.
Gabrielle C: Awesome. I think it was great effects, and it was hard to watch, as it should have been.Do you trust Elijah?
Matt R: I do. Doesn't mean he's a good guy, as he's willing to kill innocents (RIP, Slater) in order to keep Elena's presence a secret from Klaus until the time is right... but that doesn't mean he can't also be true to his word in this instance. It does serve his agenda.
Steve M: I trust him to keep a fine head of hair on himself, that's for certain. Impressive stuff! But I wouldn't exactly put my life in his hands, no.
Gabrielle C: As of now, yes. He could have killed everyone by now, but he hasn't. For that reason alone, I trust him. He must have some serious beef with Klaus to want to beat him in all things.
Rose's wolf bite as a cliffhanger: OMG, or Oh, that's it?
Matt R: The latter because it wasn't presented in the proper, suspenseful context. Given a look at scenes from the January 27 episode, it's clear this werewolf bite will have HUGE ramifications, so they should have ended last night's episode with Rose frothing at the mouth or something. A mere look at the returning wound wasn't enough.
Steve M: Come on, fans. Every scene can't be head-turning or scream-inducing. This was the perfect cliffhanger because it raised the stakes of the werewolf/vampire feud and it made me wonder about the future: what does it mean for Damon to be "marked."
Gabrielle C: Not climatic enough, sorry. Just "that's it?" for me.
What are your hopes for the second half of the season?
Matt R: More of Katherine in black lingerie. More Alaric. Less of people calling him "Ric." And, finally, one more shocking death, with no offense intended to her character because she's perfectly nice, but also sort of useless: Jenna.
Steve M: I wanna see a musical episode! Just kidding, I'm sick of all shows thinking they need to go this route. I seriously have no complaints. Keep leaving me surprised each week and I'll keep tuning in.
Gabrielle C: I really hope they step it up. Rose's character can really be more interesting than they are letting it be, and I would have been much for satisfied if Stelena had gotten together at the end of "Masquerade."

Alaric! (I know get the message that I have to say more than that, so: Alaric!)
You know what's really weird? I loved tonights episode.
Normally I would be so mad at the misleading statherine promos. Really dude? It was a dream thats it? How convieniant. How unfair! I mean a part of me knew that Stefan wouldn't cheat on Eleba until someone puts a gun on him (or a stake) so I knew it would be something very out of character and hard to beleive if happened but when it didn't I was all well OF COURSE it wasn't gonna. But stefan left leaving kat alone? Thats it? What happened to "That right there was your biggest mistake."
Also so cute when Damon grinned at Elena as she threw a cushion at him. I wanted more but in the end when I saw Damon happy with Rose I was smiling.
And I was smiling when he grabbed Rose with superhuman strength and they bantered. I was smiling when even despite the fact that he can't have Elena he was happy. And that smile vanished when Rose pulled back her robe. I don't see how that didn't leave you scared because the wound clearly meant one thing. It wasn't a rumor. And I feel terrible for Damon And Rose. Maybe he'll have to kill her to put her out of her misery.
Last time when Rose ran leaving Damon to the dogs (Elijah) I was so mad at her. And today when the dog bit her I feel so sad. It doesn't look pretty.
And while you guys clearly think that the werewolf scene was well acted but nothing special I really do disagree. Caroline keeps on blowing me away with her touching, adorable performance (when the truth is I'd even be content just forwarding to see Damon smirk). Today even the guy that plays Tyler impressed me. It was very sweet watching her try so hard to take care of him. I've all but forgotten about Matt. Cyler? Seem really cute together.
All in all I really enjoyed this episode. ( Despite no Statherine and Delena hints) This is so totally what is missing in Gossipgirl. Once upon a time I used to watch that show for something other than Chair. The thing is....while I definately not watch it Without Delena VD is really intruging all along. And I loved it.
when jewels said damon is marked maybe that means all the lycans are going to come after him since he killed mason.
loved when Damon said i have vampire barbie on it and was teasing Elena about going outside.Hilarious!And i'm soooooooo happy that STELENA is back on.That reunion kiss was super cute.Cant wait for next episode!I really hope Tyler and Caroline get together and I felt so sad when he was in such pain turning.I just wanted to give him a huge hug.It looked really painful.That was great acting by Michael Trevino.Loved how Caroline stayed w/ him all the way through.
Core casts on any show don't live in a bubble. There has to be other people coming and going in their lives or it will be unrealistic and, let's face it: boring.
It was a good episode, but it should not have been the mid-season finale. My guess is that they intended this episode to be the first new episode AFTER the winter hiatus, since in past years the CW had aired 10 episodes on Thursday nights during the fall. That would explain the anticlimatic ending. The previous episode had a much better ending.
Favorite quote.. Damon: I have Vampire Barbie on it. When Jeremy asked who was on the werewolf thing.
My only concern is that we have all of the NEW characters and it will leave less and less space for amazing story lines of the main original cast. Please don't do this. We all know what happened to Gossip Girl b/c of this...it sucks.

If you ask me, each time you leave a queue you should have to wait in the queue for 10minutes before you are considered for a game. (this ban is next time you enter the queue you have to wait that long in the queue). Leave again and it is increased to 20minutes.
After say a week of not leaving a game your time ban should be reset back to zero. Sometimes you have to leave, theres nothing wrong with that. but joining into a game then going afk just to get some summoner xp is wrong and should be penalised harshly.
This applies for leavers in a game, AND leavers in the Champion selection screen.
It has taken me up to half an hour just to get into a game, and then to have one or two people leave the game once its going wastes up to an hour.
If the queue leavers can't even join the queue for delays then the people actually wanting to play should actually get a fair go!
I noticed that sometimes sivirs boomerang still doesnt fire but takes mana and goes on cooldown.
So i can't double cast bouncing blades anymore but still don;t have an ulti i can use with any real dmg unless my enemy is afk and lets me sping around for a second not attacking and then realiseing no need to move katarina's ulti is weaker then the combo of level 2 bouncing blades and lvl 3 shunpo .
Now hotfix the Eve glitch.
Whatever you just did, you broke the spell casting system.
I have to come to a complete stop to use my spells, and even then it's not completly working at times (Playing as Veigar)
I couldn't get event horizon to cast either for some reason unless i was right next to where it was going to land..at least some of the time
Enemy trynd said he had to completly stop to do mocking shout as well

AP class credit question
Find a Conversation
AP class credit question
|Wed, 03-16-2011 - 3:51pm
Hi. My son is a senior in high school so I figured you guys might know something I don't. My son took AP Stats and he was planning to take the AP exam but he found out that his college does not award credit for the AP Stats class. It seems odd because he will be studying engineering and they award credit for Calc AB and BC and for Physics C, but not Stats. Any ideas why that would be? FYI - he is planning on attending Colorado School of Mines.
|Thu, 03-17-2011 - 8:33am
Wow, you must have gone to a better college than I. When I went to Cornell the Math profs stunk big time. Everyone knew you just had to teach yourself. I thought my son was smart to take as much math as he could in high school where the teachers like to teach.
|Thu, 03-17-2011 - 11:46am
Tooner, it just depends on the college - I'm referring to both the AP credits and the quality of the professors.
I took Calc 101 and Chem 101 at a huge university with 600 other students in each class.
|Thu, 03-17-2011 - 3:16pm
I'll second that for UIC(C in my case) - ended up with 'recognition of completion' in mathematics. Only prof I didn't thrill to was in my 6th quarter of calc...
|Fri, 03-18-2011 - 7:36am
Thanks for your input. You are correct that it was not a waste of time. I just think that ds would have chosen a different AP class if he had known that it was a class for non- science majors. I am also happy to hear that your son is having a good experience with a college math teacher. Both my husband and I studied engineering at big colleges and had horrible experiences with college math. Part of the reason that my son liked Mines was because it is small.
|Fri, 03-18-2011 - 7:39am
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Excuse med for my ignorance but what is UIC?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The tech initial public offering market in 2004 should be significantly hotter than it has been for the past few years. Of course, that's not saying much.
According to research firm Dealogic, only nine tech firms went public in 2002 and they raised a total of $1.9 billion. Last year, 17 tech companies made it to the public markets, generating just $2.8 billion. By way of comparison, 295 techs went public in 1999, raising a staggering $34.6 billion.
But so far this year, there are already 19 tech deals in the IPO pipeline waiting to be priced and the total value of these deals is $3.7 billion. Plus, this doesn't include what could very likely be the biggest IPO of the year, a long-awaited offering from search engine Google. Cingular, the wireless firm co-owned by BellSouth and SBC, is also thought to be an IPO candidate for 2004.
Still, market observers caution investors to not get overly excited about the prospects for tech IPOs. The days when a triple digit percentage pop was routine for the opening day of a tech IPO are long gone and companies with questionable business models probably won't make it to the market.
"There's some interesting deals out there in tech but investors have to pick and choose," said Richard Peterson, chief market strategist with Thomson Financial. "We're not going back to the days of eToys and Pets.com."
So investors looking for an idea of how tech IPOs might do this year should keep an eye on four key offerings that are likely to price in the first quarter. Atheros Communications, a manufacturer of wireless chips, has received a lot of buzz. Atheros filed for its IPO in November and hopes to raise $100 million.
The company is not profitable but net losses narrowed in the first nine months of 2003 and wireless networking is one of the most talked about tech trends for 2004. So if investors are willing to overlook the fact that Atheros is not yet profitable and that it faces tough competition from the largest chipmaker in the world (Intel makes the Centrino wireless chipset) then that could open the door for more semiconductor IPOs.
Another chip offering that will receive a lot of attention is the semiconductor spin-off of telecom equipment firm Motorola.
Chip stocks have been among the best performing techs during the past few months but this offering, currently being dubbed SPS Spinco until a permanent name is chosen, could face a tough reception. Sales fell 4.5 percent in the first nine months of 2003 and the unit reported a net loss of $400 million.
Motorola is hoping to raise $2 billion from the sale. But will investors overlook the division's problems now that the overall semiconductor business appears to be on the upswing? David Menlow, president of IPO research firm IPOfinancial.com, thinks investors will stay away from the deal.
Two software offerings will also receive a fair amount of scrutiny from the market. Motive, which develops customer service software used by large corporations such as BellSouth, Hewlett-Packard and Verizon, is hoping to raise $70 million. The company's sales nearly doubled during the first nine months of 2003 but it is also not profitable.
Salesforce.com, a business software firm that allows customers to rent, rather than buy, software, has received plenty of buzz as well.
Marc Benioff, a former Oracle sales executive, runs the company and there has been talk by some in the software industry that Salesforce's renting model could put significant pressure on companies like Oracle, Siebel Systems and SAP.
The company did report a profit in the first nine months of 2003 but most of the earnings came from a one-time gain that the company recorded when it was released from a previous lease obligation after the company changed office spaces. Salesforce is hoping to raise $115 million in its offering.
Of course, most investors are more interested in Google than any of these four offerings. But the success of the tech IPO market this year might hinge more on these deals than Google, which has had a lot of hype for good reason. It is said to have healthy revenue growth prospects as well as relatively high profit margins.
"Google is a unique situation. Although it will bring more attention back to the IPO market, it won't be the 'Son of Netscape' where people say, 'We're off to the races and everything Internet or tech related is now going to work," said Menlow.
Investors will also want to keep an eye on whether or not private tech companies with a lot of hoopla surrounding them ever make it to the public markets. Some have chosen to sell out rather than test the IPO waters.
For example, Crystal Decisions, a hot business intelligence software company, filed for an IPO in 2003 but was acquired by Business Objects. VMWare, a storage software company that was generating a lot of attention as a potential IPO candidate for 2004, was bought out by EMC in December.
And if more well-regarded private companies decide that they're better off as part of a large, already public firm instead of taking their chances as an independent, then that has to make investors question the wisdom of other tech firms trying to go public.

I hope everyone knows the reason why Porygon was never seen in the anime outside Japan…..
Very coolio style, where'd the concept come from?And yes, I know the reason the Porygon family will likely never see the west in the animé… >→
The concept is very simple. It's told that Porygon's name is a combination of "polygon" and "origami".
I know that those cut-and-assemble dices are not a kind of origami, but with them in mind and the cover of the "Perfect Symmetry" (Keane's album) I made this shirt.
– lomm
Ah okies. I didn't know there was any other connection but the obvious 'ploygon' one – that's interesting.
And I like Keane too actually! :)
EDIT: 'polygon'!

Interesting article on ZDNet. Article Here Comments!
It's funny, we were talking about this in an ethics disscussion for a course I'm on. If I remember rightly last year MS had a profit of 6.7 billion. That was written as pure profit but I don't know for sure what that doesn't take into account. If they can make 6.7 billion profit, or even if half that figure to let them save some, does that not indicate that they can cut their prices with no ill effect? This did generate the opinion that they would then be held up for having unrealistically low prices and cutting everyone out of the market but it makes for interesting thinking.
It's nice to see ZD Net talking to school techies. I got the distinc impression at BETT that some vendors really did not like network managers and techies there. They tended to spoil their sales prospects by telling teaching staff about how bad their wares actually were.

That sounds absolutely correct.
Lets face it if it was left to teachers to make ICT spending choices. Every kid would have an RM computer at home..... 8)
I have emailed bloke who wrote article to say hi and offer edugeek if he ever needs any quotes for articles he is writing... :)
Nice one.
MS products aren't the cheapest by any stretch of the imagination but neither are they especially expensive, at least not for schools.
We have a Select agreement with Ramesys. Office licences cost us £35 each. XP Upgrades cost £41. Windows 2003 Std costs £55. They're no worse than Macromedia or Adobe, for example a Studio MX site licence costs just over £2k and Photoshop Elements costs £25 a licence. Looking at Pugh's website it seems that Wordperfect isn't signficantly cheaper either.
As the article says, as a school we get massive discounts on MS software. Looking at a handy Inmac catalogue I see WinServer 2k3 Std +5 CALs costs nearly £700 to the end user!
At the end of the day no-one forces us to use MS software. If I wanted to I could use a Novell directory service, Wordperfect office software and Linux OSes on the workstations.
I like the way the article asked for Apple's opinion. So many times, people say "Oh apple computers are soooo expensive compared to PCs"
What they don't realise is that by the time you buy like for like (if there is such a thing) software on a pc comparable to what an apple comes with, PCs work out much more expensive.
when you buy your mac, the os comes with it, including a good package of high quality software. Plus the build quality is to a lot higher standard than your average generic pc.
I agree with Norphy, MS licensing is not the cheapest but at the same time its not ridiculusely expensive!. With SELECT agreement the cost is not bad but hopefully we will see a drop in prices from MS as Becta review states its expensive.
Unlike linux systems there is only one code, one support provider etc, and it is easier to use - i don't want to turn this into one of those windows vs linux debate but for many schools MS is probably better option in terms of major rollouts.
I wonder how long it will be before Microsoft pay us to exclusively use their software within schools.
Kinda like what they (allegedly) did with Newham Council.
Linux can work. There's many schools using it. However you need technical staff who are knowledgeable enough to support it. I think thats where it falls down at the moment.
OTOH windows admins are far more common and thus cheaper too. I'm sure the situation will balance out in the near future.
Linux is being used in hidden corners for the odd task everywhere now. Mostly thanks to single task liveCD based distro's. I've noticed once people try that they are more inclined to play around and get the experience they need to deploy more complex Linux based systems sucessfully.

Hi all-
I am building up a Lurcher and am using the on-one race carbon fork. I bought an FSA compression plug for it. Shop guy says it will work but I have never used one before.
Is there a right or wrong plug? It is a 1 1/8 and I use carbon paste on all carbon mating surfaces.
It seems fine in the stand installed after following the directions but there is something in me that wants to be certain when riding rigid ss with carbon parts.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Nouwt to do with being a "defenseaphiliac". I'm not really one anyway. It's just I enjoy style in batting, as I presume to so many others. I can't believe anyone would think Gilchrist a more stylish batsman than Dravid.

There're some batsmen who are just totally fun to watch, and on their day can totally wreck the opposition bowling. Gayle is another one - sure he's ridiculously inconsistent, but when he's on, I'd rather watch him than pretty much anyone else in the world.
