I had to do that same thing the other day. I'm a Mac user, and I just used Audacity because I know it can do the job and it's free.
What's the official Mac way? Probably QuickTime Pro (which you have to pay for, which has always annoyed me). Or a third party piece of software. Actually I think you can cut bits out with QT (non-pro) but it's a bit unintuitive. I considered using Garage Band (which I'm sure could do it) but that would be overkill.
I've got to say, it was the first time I'd used Audacity in maybe two years. It was just as ugly as ever, unfortunately. It looks almost EXACTLY like the program that came with my SB16 in the Windows 3.1 days. It works, but could really use a little interface TLC, especially on the Mac (where the Linux/Windows style interface just looks even more out of place).
I get that a lot, actually. Depending on the theme I'm using and whether I'm using KDE or Gnome (both with Compiz fusion), I get people saying either "So that's what Vista looks like... I really like it!" or "Wow. I've never used OSX before, but that looks cool".
None of them know what a "Linux" is, so I don't bother clarifying

Unfortunately, there are a great many things Flash does for which there are no alternatives, open or otherwise.
Let me give you a recent, stupid example: We want to let users upload a bunch of things at once. We have three options:
1: Build something using multiple file upload fields. (This could be done elegantly -- by hiding one as soon as it's set, and generating a new one.) In other words, we force the user to select each file individually, and click browse again -- and the files can't start uploading until they've all been selected.
2: Accept zipfiles. Extra work for us (admittedly not much), and extra work for them.
3: Use Flash. Not only can they select more than one file in the open dialog (ctrl+click, shift+click, ctrl+a, etc), but as soon as they select one, we can start uploading it.
I want to use open alternatives. I hate Flash more than... I'm not a very hateful person, but Flash makes me homicidal. But even something as simple as that, there's an advantage to using Flash.

You can do this now with Gears [google.com]. For those of you not familiar with Gears, it's a browser add-on available for Firefox, IE, Safari, and Google Chrome. It adds extra functionality to browsers which will hopefully turn into standards in the future.

It will probably never happen. Plus, the competition probably does both teams a lot of good. But let's look at the specific reasons:
- Different toolkits. If the projects joined, they would have to consolidate (ie, rewrite) TONS of code. That is, if they wanted to unify the applications look and feel. I suppose they wouldn't have to, but that sort of defeats the purpose.
- Different design philosophies. KDE is all about choice, Gnome is all about making the choices for you. Obviously these are big oversimplifications of each (KDE makes some good choices by default, Gnome usually gives the power users a place to change things), but the different design philosophies would be hard to combine.
- They're just different: The two projects have grown a lot over the last 10 years, and they both have great systems in place inside their desktop environments. Tons of this work would have to be heavily rewritten or scrapped altogether to make a new unified desktop environment. As an example, Gnome stores a lot of settings in the GConf repository, KDE doesn't.
And one could go on for a while regarding why these projects can't just magically join together. It's sort of like the cries of Webkit in Firefox. Read the Ars article on that subject to get a feel for trying to combine projects with similar goals but completely different designs. They just don't mesh.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 70000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 70000/5 = 14000 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 7000 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (70000+14000+7000)*4 = 364000 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the release of OSX, cool new technologies and so on, FreeBSD is expanding into more desktops than ever. FreeBSD has become more than the sum of its parts.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily gained in market share. *BSD is very powerful and its long term survival prospects are very bright.

On the other hand, consider a fresh-off-the-windows-boat user, had this happened to them, Ubuntu would lose those customers left and right, no questions asked - back to windows - because that just doesn't happen in windows. In the 10 plus years I've actually seriously been messing with computers - again, 9 of which have been Linux (the 80s & 90s don't count), I've never seen this happen with either Windows or Mac - and it better never again, or Ubuntu will be losing a long-time dedicated user because I just can't spend my days rebuilding what some "update" broke due to lack of backwards compatibility - and no subsequent follow-up bug fix has been released
I like Ubuntu due to its simplicity on the front end, yet it comes with every thing that makes Linux good under the hood. Just don't kill it for the those who have supported your efforts.

As It Happens on WAMC HD2
Weekday Evenings, 7pm - 8pm
Listening to As It Happens is like taking a trip around the world five nights a week. For more than 35 years, using the simplest of tools - the telephone - this current affairs program has explored the heart of a story, whether it's happening in the streets of Belgrade, the dockyards of Vancouver, the boardrooms of Bay Street, or the kitchens of Paris.
As It Happens gets its stories from "the horse's mouth" - securing interviews with world leaders, rabble-rousers, bingo callers and deposed dictators. The show has a soft-spot for "characters" and never turns its nose up at something wild, weird or wacky. And, on the complex and troubling stories of the day, As It Happens searches for greater understanding in the story behind the story.

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Chad has extended the deadline for subscribing for subscribing for a 100 billion CFA franc ($221 million) bond sale by 3 weeks to July 14, the country's government said yesterday in a statement distributed in Cameroon.
The delay is to accommodate investor's requests, Chad said.
The five-year, local-currency bonds, will be listed on the Libreville, Gabon-based Central African Stock Exchange. The proceeds will be used to fund investment projects and pay off existing debt, Chad said on June 21.

Certified Farmers' Market - Sundays
Presented by Certified Farmers' Markets at Sacramento Outdoor Marketplace (8th Street)
January 1 - December 30, 2012
Certified Farmers' Markets are an effort to reestablish the traditional link between farmers and consumers in California. Certified Farmers' Markets are "the real thing"--places where genuine farmers offer only agricultural products they grow themselves for direct sale to the public. By eliminating the middleman's additional costs and multiple product handling, both the farmers and the consumers benefit.
This Certified Farmers' Market is open year-round, under the freeway.

If there's ever been any doubt in your mind that organized religion benefits the ruling class then a recent paper published by PLOS ONE, an open-access, peer reviewed online publication, should quash it for good.
Psychologists Azim F. Shariff of the University of Oregon and Lara B. Aknin of Simon Fraser University, British Columbia conducted a study in which they asked asked over four hundred Americans to write about Heaven, Hell or what they did yesterday. The Americans who wrote about Hell were more likely to show emotional negativity compared to the other groups.
This was consistent across believers and non-believers. Just thinking about Hell makes people ill and out of sorts, and they don't even have to think that it's real. It's worse for the true believers: Individual belief in what the researchers referred to as "supernatural malevolence" (Coming soon to pay-per-view!) was associated with bad coping skills, low self-esteem and poor health resiliency.… Read the rest

An angel's trumpet in flower in July. In spring, the plant doesn't look promising.

Hong Kong's civil servants returned to work and schools were reopening Monday as a massive pro-democracy protest that has occupied much of the city center for the week dwindled.
An auction in Hong Kong Saturday broke the world record for the most expensive lot of wine ever sold, with 114 bottles of Burgundy going for HK$12,556,250 (US$1.6 million), Sotheby's said.
Sunday, October 5, 2014
Standoffs between Hong Kong's pro-democracy protesters and their antagonists grew increasingly ugly Saturday, as the two sides traded insults and at times taunted police. The city's leader said streets occupied by the protest must be cleared by Monday., 1 Comment
Some of Hong Kong's 7 million residents are protective of the mostly young pro-democracy protesters. Others support the demands for wider political reforms, but have grown weary of the hassles of blocked streets and closed schools. And there are some who opposed the mass display of public dissent from the start. People spoke on Saturday about joining or watching the downtown occupation that some have dubbed the "Umbrella Revolution."
Women pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong are being targeted with sexual assaults and harassment, demonstrators and an international human rights group said as violence broke out in two of the city's busiest shopping districts.
Saturday, October 4, 2014
Hong Kong student leaders on Friday said they called off talks with the government after angry scuffles erupted at their huge pro-democracy demonstrations, saying police had allowed "triad" criminal gangs to attack their protest camps.
Friday, October 3, 2014
Tensions in Hong Kong soared Thursday after police were seen unloading boxes of tear gas and rubber bullets close to the city's besieged government headquarters as the authorities urged pro-democracy demonstrators to disperse "as soon as possible.", 2 Comments
Top U.S. and Chinese officials publicly aired differences Wednesday over the protests in Hong Kong, where students want democratic changes to the electoral system.

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Sunday, December 28, 2014
Alternate Name: Elmore John Leonard Jr.
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Without question, one of the 20th century's premier writers of crime fiction, Elmore Leonard's fascinatingly seedy characters and penchant for snappy, natural dialogue found the longtime writer climbing from pulp Western author to one of the most sought after scribes of the Hollywood scene. Though it would take nearly two decades for filmmakers to accurately capture the gritty, but humorous, tone that he had mastered through his many years putting pen to paper, the runaway success of director Barry Sonnenfeld's spot-on adaptation of Leonard's novel {-Get Shorty} in 1995 prompted a slew of films in which the author's unique tone was accurately translated to celluloid.

Let's go the slides. First, let's take a look at the obvious co-primary endpoint, which assessed Xiaflex's ability to straighten those crooked penises following a year of treatment.
Both studies hit this primary endpoint with strong statistical significance. In the IMPRESS-1 study, men in the Xiaflex arm had 49 degrees of bend in their penis at baseline. After 52 weeks, the bend was reduced to 31 degrees, or a 38 percent improvement. Men in the sham injection arm entered the study with penises that curved, on average, by 49 degrees. At study end, that curve was 39 degrees, or a 21 percent improvement. Results from the IMPRESS-2 study were similar, as displayed in the slide.
Does statistical significance translate into a clinically meaningful benefit? That's a tough question here given the high placebo response rate. On placebo-adjusted basis, Xiaflex only reduced penile curvature by 8 degrees. That's not much of an improvement, particularly when you factor in side effects, which I'll discuss in a bit.
Auxilium argues it's more relevant to look at individual patient results compared to their own baseline and not against the placebo injections. Fine, but even looking at just the Xiaflex arm, is reducing the bend of a penis, on average, from 49 degrees to 31 degrees, a robust-enough result to warrant approval? There are no "straight" penises at the end of this study, unlike Xiaflex's ability to fully straighten fingers in patients with Dupuytren's Contracture. Does that matter?Next slide. This one graphs the second co-primary endpoint of the studies -- the reduction in a Peyronie's "PDQ bother" score. Auxilium developed the PDQ questionnaire to assess the overall impact on quality of life that Peyronie's has on men with the disease. Using 15 questions, the PDQ measures 1) the "bothersomness" of Peyronie's; 2) psychological and physical symptoms of Peyronie's; and 3) penile pain. For the phase III studies co-primary endpoint, Auxilium only used responses to four of 15 questions that measure the "bother" portion of the PDQ. Here are the results: Looking at IMPRESS-1 results, you see a 44 percent reduction in the bother score for men treated with Xiaflex compared to a 27 percent reduction for men treated with sham injections. The placebo-adjusted difference is small but still statistically significant with a p value of 0.0451. A p value greater than 0.05 would have been a negative result so this study barely passed.

By staying on the cutting edge of Internet advertising tools and strategies, companies can direct more resources toward improving their product or service.
In any Internet advertising campaign, staying on top of the competition is crucial. Each year brings forth new strategies to reach this goal and offers companies more options for choosing the right Internet advertising package. What worked just two years ago may now leave sales flat and traffic on the downturn.
Although the Internet advertising tools we use to reach our goals change over the years, some things remain as constants in the equation. For example, since most Internet users conduct searches before purchasing, we know that SEO and the content that drives it are king. In 2013, we see the trends from the last two years evolving and we can now begin to drill down to the nuts and bolts of what worked and what we need to anticipate for the near future.
Mobile Advertising
It seems everyone around us has a smartphone or handheld device that can quickly do what any laptop can, but more importantly almost to the point of sale. With the apps available on today's devices one can search for pizza while they are in a car and be led to your pizzeria in minutes. Likewise, a shopper can be in a mall and find your product, what store it is being sold in, and the best price.
Brand-Safe Site Advertising
By screening where the ads are being rotated we can not only reach more targeted audiences, we can prevent our brand from being tarnished or diluted. Spending a bit more to see our creatives on an established, reputable site may bring better sales results than the Internet saturation style tactics of yesteryear. Getting the brand "out there" is always a priority and 2013 should bring more opportunities.
Data Acquisition and Review
Put simply, this means using tools such as Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics, and a myriad of others to really see what is going on with your Internet advertising campaigns. This is where hiring someone with these skills or using data-mining software may be a good idea with larger firms. This information is especially crucial to know and understand if you are depending only on the Internet to market your product or service. Where your traffic and sales come from will help determine what is working and what not to do next year.
Dynamic Ads
Dynamic Ads allow Internet advertisers to place ads in front of targeted segments of Internet users. By using statistics and click-through data, ad networks are now able to match the client's product or service to targeted users. This evolving Internet technology is in play as you browse through your Gmail inbox or surf around in Yahoo. These creatives can also be tweaked and updated to react to the latest performance data made available by ad impressions and traffic reports.
More Social Media Platforms
This is another example of the basics of Internet advertising. Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest have been generating free traffic and building fan bases for companies that otherwise would have paid for the exposure. According to The Huffington Post, more than one million websites have integrated with Facebook alone and almost one-quarter of Facebook users check in to their accounts five or more times a day. In 2013 we should keep building and consider targeted paid ads on these busy platforms. We should be looking around all year to find hot upcoming social sites that can be utilized to further our "voice" and reach.
By staying on the cutting edge of Internet advertising tools and strategies, companies can direct more resources toward improving their product or service. As the Internet evolves businesses will have to keep up the pace with emerging technologies such as mobile and apps, or the competition will leave them behind.

Whole Foods opens first store in Capital Region
COLONIE -- Just when the clock struck nine Wednesday morning, the first Whole Foods Market in the area was open for business. From the moment the doors opened, hundreds of shoppers flooded the store. This is one of many grand openings in the town of Colonie recently. Town Supervisor Paula Mahan says it's a sure sign Colonie is open for business.
"What we've done with Colonie is we've streamlined our whole process. We've started in 2008 to try and identify what the issues were and how we could better serve our customers. It's doing what it should be doing and that's looking for good quality development, in the end a good product, and also with input from our residents to see what they'd like to see in their community," she says.
The store boasts it's mission to help the environment and local economy. There will be more than 50 new one-of-a-kind, first-to-launch products from right here in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley, sold in the store. The store hires over 250 people, creating a ripple effect for the entire local economy.
"What's more important is not the jobs that it creates but the multiplier effect. Because Whole Foods uses local merchandise, it's committed to using local merchants, and that can create more job opportunities in the area also," says Peter Rivera, New York State Commissioner of Labor.
"That was the really great thing about opening in this area. For so many years we were buying from the Hudson Valley, and we've been buying from farms in Columbia County, we've been buying from purveyors here in the Capital Region so to be able to open here where so many of them are it helped us to uncover even more," says Michael Sinatra, spokesperson for Whole Foods Market Northeast.
Also to mark the store's first day in business, the store donated 5% of all profits Wednesday to the Capital District Community Gardens, an organization with a mission to make green space and fresh foods more accessible for each and every community in our area.
The store will be open seven days a week, from 8am until 10pm.

Keep an eye on the lights located on the dash, and make sure you are aware of what they all mean. They're there to assist you, so take advantage of them. Ignoring them for extended periods of time will only make the problem much worse than it already is. Consider using OEM parts. These are original manufacturer parts. While they often cost a little more, they typically work better for longer periods of time. It may cost you more in the end to use generic parts even though you save money now. Before you take your car to the shop, always make an attempt to identify the problem yourself. When you self-diagnose, you avoid fraud and save money. Unfortunately, some shops are less than honest when diagnosing issues. Find an ASE certified mechanic if you need some repairs. This means the technician has completed a test and has more than two years of experience. You will then know that you are dealing with a trained professional. Consult with your friends and family about recommending a trustworthy mechanic. Personal experience from someone who has had work done at the shop before is simply the number one way to get good work done. Never use a mechanic who has not performed on any person's vehicle that you know.
Auto repair may not always be a picnic, but there are things you can do to make your auto repair go a lot smoother. The things you've gone over here are going to help you out quite a bit if you need to work on auto repairs in the future. You are going to be very pleased with the results.
Never underestimate the value of keeping an emergency car kit handy. This kit will include the necessary tools for successfully charging a battery, changing a tire and adding gas to your tank. For night time breakdowns, make sure to include warm blankets and a flashlight with extra batteries. Before you hand over your car to the shop, be sure you are clear about the repair costs. Should you need clarification about the repairs, speak with the service manager or your mechanic before work begins. You surely do not want unpleasant surprises when you go to get the car.
Remove valuable things from your car prior to taking it in to get fixed. The mechanic might have to remove certain items, and they won't be liable if it goes missing. Empty both the trunk and glove compartment. When washing the car, remove the mats and beat them a few times with the water hose. Small particles can become lodged in the fibers and wear holes in the rubber surface of the mats. Holes aren't attractive and let dirt have a path to your carpet that's under it.
Always bleed your brakes if you have been working on them. After this, pump your brake fluid. Look for any leaks. You should then be ready for test driving on a road that lacks tons of traffic. Start slow in order to ensure that your repairs were successful. Consistency is very important when it comes to auto repairs. If you have a mechanic that you trust, then stick with them. The same mechanic will know your car inside and out and will be best qualified to work on it. They may also charge you different amount, resulting in you paying more for your repairs.
If you ask a mechanic for a quote, make sure he itemizes different fees. You can then easily compare fees between different mechanics and make sure the estimates cover the same items. In general, it is the labor that will vary, so look at that closely. What sort of sounds is your car making? Noise is a great indicator of trouble in cars. Accurately describing the sound you hear to your mechanic can save you money when it comes to diagnosing the problem.

HILLSBOROUGH campaigners today expressed dismay that South Yorkshire Police's chief constable has escaped without punishment for accusing them of lying.Details
South Yorkshire chief constable sent email to senior staff that appeared to suggest campaign group was not telling the full truthThe police watchdog has written to a chief constable expressing concern over comments in an email about the Hillsborough disaster that were "at best ill-judged and at worst offensive and upsetting".South Yorkshire police's chief constable, David Crompton, sent an email to his senior staff last year which appeared to suggest a campaign group representing families of those who died was not telling the full truth about the 1989 tragedy.The email read: "One thing is certain – the Hillsborough Campaign for Justice will be doing their version … in fact their version of certain events has become 'the truth' even though it isn't!!"I just have the feeling that the media 'machine' favours the families and not us, so we need to be a bit more innovative in our response to have a fighting chance otherwise we will just be roadkill."The internal email, which came to light following a freedom of information request, was sent as part of South Yorkshire police's preparations for the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report last year.It discussed how the force could use its website to respond to the findings of the panel.When the report was published, it provoked widespread condemnation of the force's response to the disaster at Sheffield Wednesday's ground in April 1989, which left 96 Liverpool fans dead.It revealed how dozens of police statements had been altered to portray police in a better light.South Yorkshire police's response to the tragedy is currently subject to a huge inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).Last month, the police and crime commissioner of South Yorkshire, Shaun Wright, wrote to the IPCC when he was made aware of the emails and associated documents.On Tuesday, IPCC commissioner Nicholas Long said the majority of the emails and documents "raised no issues".But he said one email from the chief constable caused concern.He said: "It referred to preparing what 'amounts to the case for the defence' and stated that the 'Hillsborough Campaign for Justice's … version of certain events had become the truth even though it isn't'."I consider that this is at best ill-judged, and at worst offensive and upsetting. I have written to Chief Constable Crompton to express these views."Families and individuals affected by the Hillsborough tragedy, along with the wider public, will rightly be concerned over the apparent attitude displayed by this communication within the highest ranks of the force which is currently under investigation in relation to the actions of its officers and staff around the disaster."But Long said that while "these emails have serious implications for public confidence" they do not amount to recordable conduct and the IPCC does not require a formal referral.He said it was now a matter for Wright to deal with.Last week, Crompton said the email, sent to his assistant chief constable and head of press and communications, was not meant to cause offence.He said: "It was never intended to cause any offence and I apologise if it has done so."Nor was it intended to challenge the integrity and views of those who lost loved ones in the Hillsborough disaster."Following the publication of the panel's report, I said in the most forthright terms that I supported the findings and that is still my position."Wright said he was disappointed with the language used and had raised his concerns with Crompton.Last week he said: "I accept the chief constable's regret for his language in this one particular email and his apology."Hillsborough disasterLiverpoolPoliceguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

• Manager may consider offers for Downing in January • Liverpool players must have commitment, Rodgers saysBrendan Rodgers has questioned whether Stewart Downing has the necessary "fight" for a Liverpool team that he believes can qualify for the Champions League.The England international has been a major disappointment at Anfield since his £20m arrival from Aston Villa 14 months ago and his fortunes have deteriorated since Rodgers replaced Kenny Dalglish as manager. Downing has seen 17-year-old Raheem Sterling and summer signing Fabio Borini preferred ahead of him this season, and Rodgers has suggested the 28-year-old may have to reinvent himself as a left-back to enhance his prospects at Liverpool.Rodgers did not disguise his frustration with Downing during the Europa League game against Young Boys in Berne last week. Now, after the winger again failed to impress in the Capital One Cup win over West Bromwich Albion in midweek, the Liverpool manager has suggested he may consider offers for Downing in January unless the player's commitment improves."Stewart is a good guy and a good lad who came here for an awful lot of money," said Rodgers, who is likely to be without Borini at Norwich Cityon Saturday due to an ankle injury. "It hasn't quite worked out for him as he would want it. The big challenge for him now is that commitment to the cause to fight, because he has the qualities. He has a wonderful left foot but what is important is that it is more than talent. Talent alone is not enough. You have to work hard, you have to fight for the shirt. We have seen that in a number of the young players and if you don't do that then longer-term you won't be here. It is as simple as that really."The Liverpool manager's threat also applies to José Enrique, who made an encouraging start to his Anfield career after a £6m move from Newcastle United but has struggled since the turn of the year.Rodgers added: "What is important is that you have good communication. I don't waste my time waiting until January to tell both players what I know now. So they know in relation to the demands of what we want and certainly what it is going to take for us to succeed and for them to fit into the dynamics of the group."We are coaches, not magicians. For me football players are no different to plumbers, joiners or bricklayers. They are self-employed and us as medics, coaches and managers are the tools that help them to be better. We will give them everything to help them to be better, but if they don't want to show that self-motivation, and if you haven't got that desire and hunger to succeed, then it can be very difficult for you. The communication I will keep private between Stewart and I, but he is under no illusions that he has to fight."Liverpool have yet to win in the Premier League under Rodgers but, after a testing run of fixtures, the Northern Irishman denies the trip to Carrow Road represents a fresh start for his side. He also claimed that a top four finish is not beyond Liverpool providing they keep in touch with the leading pack until the transfer window reopens in January.Rodgers said: "My job started the day I walked into the club. There is no doubt it was a difficult batch of fixtures to start with and our three home games were always going to be difficult. But there are 99 points to play for. I believe that 70-plus points will allow you to arrive in the top four. So that gives us 68 points that we need over the remaining games. We can maybe have 10 games with problems."There's absolutely no doubt it's going to be a monumental achievement for that [Champions League qualification] to happen but in my working life my mentality – and I'm selling that to the players– is that it is what we have to work towards. You aim to win the league and if you can't do that then you aim to finish as high as you possibly can. Get through to January and we will get better over the second half of the season as well."Rodgers, who may have Daniel Agger available at Norwich despite the defender being carried off with a knee injury against Manchester United on Sunday, has confirmed Liverpool are looking to extend Suso's contract. The Spanish midfielder is the final year of his deal.LiverpoolAndy Hunterguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Summary: "Finally, Conrad Totman has answered the call of more than a few educators for an up-to-date survey of the Japanese experience during the Tokugawa years. . . .
