Re: reading ability
"but should consumers know that?"
Yes. Just like consumers associate certain car makers with poor build quality or reliability, consumers should associate MS with what we know them for.
...their tablet OS takes 16GB?
<Examines hard drive>
My current install, including office suite, hypervisor, games, media players, logs, etc just touches 16GB.
What the bloody hell are MS putting on there?
Windows 8 Euro PC sales SHOCKER: Results actually not bad
Re: More fake statistics paid by Microsoft
@h4rmOny - I know perfectly well what SecureBoot is, thank. I also know the impact that MS's diktat has had, and it can be summarised as "Pay us US$99 or piss off out of the PC market". Add to that the inability to change keys on Win8 badged ARM devices and you have, IMHO, more than enough for regulators to stick the boot in.
Oh, and do lay off the straw men.
Re: More fake statistics paid by Microsoft
I don't like the enforced choice either, but the "No OS" option seems the least bad to me as the current situation is untenable. Also, it does not force anyone to carry a competing product.
Now, this is where someone drags out a car analogy and asks if I want or buy a car with no engine. It's not the same. I have a choice of car engines, if I buy a Ford or Mazda or Honda I will get a different engine. One simply can do this in the IT world because there is effectively only one "engine" manufacturer and actively blocks any competitors. Would we stand for this? No, of course not.
Yet, somehow, because it's in the IT world it is somehow acceptable.
Competition is good, we need this in the PC marketplace to drive innovation and investment.
Re: More fake statistics paid by Microsoft
"I really don't fully understand the entire preoccupation with MS bashing. There are, in fact, far more dishonest companies out there ripe for a kicking (i.e. Google/Apple)."
Neither of which are convicted monopolists (yet). Look, MS has been found guilty of anti-competitive behaviour, faces massive fines in the EU and should face sanction for their actions of SecureBoot. Period.
I'm not arguing about Google or Apple, that's a different topic, but as the industry isn't providing choice - it's time to enforce choice. I don't really like regulation, but I don't see it happening any other way.
Re: More fake statistics paid by Microsoft
Came here to say something similar. As it is basically impossible to buy a non-Apple PC without Windows, it is pretty easy for MS to get the figures it wants. So a few doom-and-gloom stories, then have the OEMs start to ship Win8 "OMG! LOOK! Our Win8 got n% sales. WE ARE THE AWESOME!"
What the public need is some actual competition in the PC marketplace. Come on regulators, give MS a kicking, please.
Automatic Facebook couple pages: Nauseating sign of desperation
Re: Yoinks!
Facebook is a public forum, and this is how you should treat everything you post there. If you don't want it known to the world and total strangers - don't post it.
I know they have privacy controls, but leak still happens.
Skype IDs hijackable by ANY FOOL who knows your email address
Re: @The BigYin
Not if you are correctly handling the data. And that means not writing your own code, but using the widely available libraries for escaping etc. that exist for every major language. But you are quite right, if one has hired developers who just concatenct email addresses into SQL strings, then you will suffer.
The BigYin's maxim: If you think you know how to validate an email address, then you don't know how to validate an email address.
If there is some limitation, then that needs to be clearly documented and a proper error shown, not just crap like "Your address is invalid".
For example, I've worked on projects where we can't accept a backslash ("\") amongst other things in certain situations (not going into all the ins and outs of why - legacy is a bitch) - so we displayed a message along the lines of "The characters "\, £, and /" cannot be used in an email address". Clear, simple and let's the user know enough to use a different email (or call support and have a good moan).
Re: Three months...
No to worried about downvotes to be honest (check out some of my other posts).
I just don't follow how pointing out the timeline specifically mentioned in the article can be disagreed with.
I'm confused, not upset.
Gmail (to name one) does this, I am not sure about others. It also allows you to put a random "." anywhere in the localpart. The big problem with using a "+" is that most sites reject it, when it is in fact valid.
Are you a web dev? Read this, now go and fix all your no doubt incorrect email validation. So many sites fail on the "+" it's depressing.
Re: Three months...
How the hell is that worth a downvote? It says it in the article FFS!
Microsoft offers Internet Explorer 10 preview for Windows 7

Thanks MS.
SECRET 28 'scientific experts' who Greened the BBC - Revealed!
Re: "does it also have to be impartial about string theory, quantum mechanics and everything else"
"If somebody has a new theory (different to string theory) then the BBC should not be able to say 'doesn't agree with our stance on string theory....not going to show it"."
So they have to allow every crack-pot, moon-unit a voice? Bollocks. The Beeb should give weight to proper, peer-reviewed results/theories and that's it. Otherwise we'll be having crap like Creationism given the same air-time as evolution and that is plain wrong (creationism isn't even a theory FFS) and homoeopaths given the same credence as actual medical doctors.
I'm sorry, but no.
Why all the secrecy?
Trying to deny climate change is like trying to deny gravity. You can try it, but it's pretty futile.
All that really remains to be debated around climate change is the rate, exact details on the feedback mechanisms (i.e. the finer details) and what (if anything) can be done. If the BBC has to be impartail about science of this nature, does it also have to be impartial about string theory, quantum mechanics and everything else?
Google, Amazon, Starbucks are 'immoral' and 'ridiculous' over UK tax
Re: So....
Oh, and I forgot one, if you want to avoid paying billions in tax; it will only cost you a nice dinner and a handshake!
...government passes tax laws with loop-holes.
Government cuts HMRC inspectors.
Government follows advice from accountants and bankers on tax (those with the biggest incentive to avoid it).
Government engages in fiddles to avoid revealing true costs (i.e. PFI)
Government allows "non-doms" to get away with little or no tax (when they aren't really non-dom)
Government...it's long list...
What the government is annoyed at here is that the information is public. People only used to suspect that the major high-street chains and other paid little-to-no tax; but now we know. Up until they information was public, the government were very happy for their rich cronies to get away with paying nothing, whilst the lower-middle and working class get gouged for just about every penny.
These companies are wrong for not paying their due, but the government is even more wrong for trying to be all high-and-might about it. It was the Tories and Labour who created this mess in the first place.
Man, 19, cuffed after burning Remembrance poppy pic is Facebooked
Re: Free speech?
@AC - "I'd imagine there would be a fair few people who know or knew people being honoured by the poppy who would love to express there free speech in burning this chap alive"
See, this is Daily Fail logic at its finest. So destroying a small paper flower = capital punishment. FFS. Here's a question....do you have all you poppies from previous years? No? You threw them in the bin! MY GOD MAN! The mob will be round to throw you in next!
"I'd probably break laws excercing my free speech rights on there ass's"
You want to impregnate their donkeys? Eh?
Re: Free speech? @AC
@AC - "You have a right to an opinion but only if it is the same as mine."
You have the right to an opinion, however you only have a valid argument when you can back it up with facts. The Daily Fail (or Daily Hate, if you prefer) is rather "facts light" and "vitriol heavy".
Amusing how irate you are getting about this.
Re: Free speech?
@AC - Straw man,but nice to know you read the Daily Mail.
"What;s your view about peeing on a cenotaph - guess that's acceptable?"
Wrong question. Is peeing in public acceptable?
Tell me, how is this the fault of the immigrants again?
Free speech?
His alleged act was offensive to many, but he was simply exercising his right to free speech.
Curtailing that should be even more offensive. (Unless you are a Daily Fail reader of course.)
In fact, I find Kent police's action grossly offensive and as they were communicated to me electronically - can Kent police please arrest themselves?
The GPL self-destruct mechanism that is killing Linux
What is this all about?
Windows (any version): a pile of festering hacks that you can't see.
Linux (any version): a pile of festering hacks you can see.
In the former, you can only find out about the problem after the fact. In the latter, you can do some due diligence (or pay someone else to do it) before the fact (maybe even knock up a few test cases; whatever). Which one is better?
Oh, and most Linux devs are professionals who draw a salary.
As to GPL "infection"...if code has a license you don't like, don't use that code write it yourself! Who are you (or I, or anyone) to tell an author what license they should use? You could, of course, ask the author how much a dual license deal will cost you. Y'know...pay them.
People who moan about the GPL are fools who want to have their cake and eat it. Correction. They want to have your cake and eat. Then demand you do the washing up.
Microsoft's touching Xmas gift for Brits: MORE licensing price hikes
Re: No Price Rise For Linux
I'm not saying that open-source shouldn't be looked at seriously, I'm just pointing out that "free" is setting expectations too high. Also, the final item on my list, might make any savings in licensing costs moot.
If you are starting out new, and some says "Hey! Let's use IIS and SQL Server!" Unless there are some very good reasons for those (e.g. you entire company's skill-set is MS only) then you should take that person and beat them to a pulp. This is the perfect situation to go F/OSS.
Re: No Price Rise For Linux
Infrastructures still costs.
Support still costs.
Training still costs.
Migration will cost (assuming suitable alternative application can be found for those that are MS only).
I love me some GNU/Linux, but to call it "free" at the enterprise scale is rather misleading. "Much less likely you bend over and scream 'Squeal, piggeh!" is accurate though.
The Z-Factor: Meet the Simon Cowell of Linux
Pfft. That's just something to get a few headlines.

Apple is granted a patent on the rectangle. No, really
It's too generic a shape
Pure and simple. Coca-Cola bottles? Sure.
The noise Harley-Davidsons make? Sure (although I will admit, it may have been trade-mark or copyright).
These are both unique and clearly identify something (not going to argue the toss about patent being the correct tool, just that these two example are unique).
But a rectangle with rounded corners though? A generic shape? That already was is use for a myriad of hand-held objects....really?
Medical scan record that the NHS says will cost £2k to retrieve: Detail
Judge denies move to ban ad-skipping DVR
Levels of subscription?
Why not just let people pay for the service they want:
No fee, 100% ad funding (no skipping allowed); or
Small fee, but still partly ad funded (no skipping allowed); or
Bigger fee, but still partly ad funded (skipping allowed); or
Fat fee, no ads (a bit like the Beeb really - and my preferred option as I hate adverts).
Either way, advertisers are screwed once we move to 100% V.o.D. as there will be no gaps to put adverts into and they'll have to find a way to insert them into the shows (which probably means product placement - something else that totally hacks me off).
We record just about everything to we can fast-forward through the adverts at 32x. If MythTV worked with my service, I'd probably use that and have it nuke the ads for me.
Microsoft offers cut-price Win 8 PCs and fondletops to UK schools
...are these cheaper than a RasPi? You know, that little thing kids can actually learn how to do actual computing on? And if they manage to break it...no big deal? And it's a UK designed device? And...and...and...
I know the RasPi would still need a keyboard etc, but it strikes me as being a lot better than the latest MS "push the buttons and don't think" crap-ola.
Widow lost savings in Facebook stock, sues all concerned for $1.9m
"she's disappointed by illegal activity"
Were any laws actually broken? if not, then it's not illegal and that would be for a court to decide,
Sharp practice? Sure.
Dishonest? Sure.
Immoral? Sure.
And if the conspiracy theory is true, then the laws might need to be changed to cover this situation. Certainly, the ability to weasel out of this due to the lack of any governing body is staggering.
But I wonder why she isn't going after Vanguard? Surely they are guilty of negligence or malpractice if what she claims is correct?
Of course, just like in the UK when the banks collapse, the rich can afford justice that simply isn't available to the rest of us.
And if you are losing at blackjack...you need to practice more memory and counting games. Ahem. Cough. Cough.
Virgin launches TV Anywhere streaming
Re: All your eggs in one basket
"What would you do in a power cut? (Serious question)"
WTF? In a power outage your biggest concern would be TV and Internet? Good grief. Someone has their priorities the wrong way round. In such a situation the steps are as follows:
1) Secure your property (lock all windows etc)
2) Proceed to nearest pub that has power.
Shame it doesn't work on PC
According to their site (and I quote): "All you need is a PC or Mac, laptop, iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch..."
Well there's the first alarm bell, a Mac is PC or a laptop and when they say "PC" they really mean "a computer running Windows". Nice.
At least the stupid OS-block is gone and it at least lets me log in and even list the show. But work? Nah. No worky-worky, fails at "Detecting device, please wait". And how hard is it to "detect"? The information is in the User Agent FFS! All rather odd as iPlayer is just a Flash app and that works perfectly (as doe Demand 5, 4od etc). So there is no real reason why it couldn't work on GNU/Linux and it's Virgin (and maybe Sky?) that seems to be screwing this up.
Runs nicely with the OS-block by-pass trick though (VM Forums post).
Nvidia heralds Steam for Linux debut with 'double-speed' drivers
Re: Question
I can't follow why a simple question got downvoted...but the explanation that the game engine pays attention to the frames coming through and thus a higher framerate (even above what the monitor actually can display) may give better/smoother response is interesting.
Are there any authoritative sources on this?
If I have an LCD screen which claims to be running at 60Hz, is there any benefit to my GPU firing out data at over 60fps? Won't I just see tearing? Or do LCDs not work like that?
Ten... Apple iPad Mini alternatives

One in seven North American home networks full of malware
Re: WTF
@Christian Berger - Android is not "GNU/Linux" as it has no GNU components. It does run a patched version of the Linux kernel (and I believe those patches are being mainstreamed). This makes it "a Linux" or, to give it its full name "Android/Linux" or possibly "Goog/Linux".
Classic game 'Elite' returns … on Kickstarter
Re: Multiplayer game based on Elite?
@SoaG - Do you even have the most vague clue what you are talking about?
Didn't think so.
I predict failure
Just about every incarnation of "Elite" after the first few originals has been dreadful. "Frontier" was barely acceptable and "First Encounters" was an utter abhorrence.
It's a shame this is going to over-shadow the likes of the excellent Oolite and I wonder if the gameplay will be any better than Diaspora? Probably not given Braben's past form.
And Elite is nothing like EVE. FFS people...
Virgin close to releasing long-delayed TiVo app
Re: I already have a working [MythTV] app...
You made a point that one piece of software/hardware(not Virgin's) did a thing that Virgin's doesn't and wondered why Virgin's didn't. I made a similar example with Ford and a remote control car. I could have made it about, say, LinuxMCE. Why doesn't Myth let you control your house? LinuxMCE does. What is keeping those work-shy Myth devs, eh?
My point was, that unless your software/hardware can do the fundamental most important thing (decode the encrypted Virgin media TV streams) then it is useless in this context and you are comparing apples and marmots.
Re: I already have a working [MythTV] app...
Oh...so you system which has nothing whatsoever to do with Virgin and can't even interface with it, can do things that Virgin can't. Hmm...this is relevant why?
"Hey, I can't control my car from my phone. Why not Ford, why not? I've seen radio controlled cars that do things like that Ford, why not you? What's holding you up?"
I think you just wanted to show off a little. I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention that you run Arch.
At most you'll probably get a "Your OS is not supported" message, just like their website. Feckin' eejits.
Welsh council's unused mountain of 2,400 laptops
"Educational and Council licenses are not the same so they wouldn't be able to shift a bunch of latops from the Corporate side into Education without sorting that out with MS."
So MS control councils' use of assets? One more reason not to use MS in that case.
What the hell?
So these "bargain" laptops weigh in at £1,400-ish? Really? Why the bloody hell to kids need laptops with that level of juice? I'd say give 'em all a RasPi (plus peripherals) but I doubt RaspPi could deliver until next year. Still, there are heaps of vendors who could sell kit for much, much less than what the council paid. Even allowing for on-site support etc.
Although I question the children needing a latop at all.

Dollar$ and $ense: What You Need To Know About Money Management
Welcome to Curry College's Financial Literacy homepage. We are offering this information to you to help you become an educated consumer about topics such as budgeting, credit management, debt management including your student loans, repayment information and financial planning. Our goal is for you to become familiar with these topics so you can make sound decisions regarding your finances while enrolled at Curry and as well as after graduation.
Attending college can be an exciting time in a student's life. For many, it is the first time living away from home and being solely responsible for managing certain aspects of one's non-academic life like money management. While concentrating on academics is a student's primary focus, understanding concepts of finance is also an important part of a student's education. All too often students graduate from college with little or no understanding on how to manage their finances just at a time when new expenses such as rent, student loan and credit card payments are becoming a reality.
We hope you find the information and additional resources offered to be helpful.

Overwhelm is a 20-foot wave crashing into you. Repeatedly. Psychologist Marla W. Deibler, PsyD, described overwhelm as "feeling completely overcome in mind or emotion." When we think a stressor is too great for us to manage, we feel overwhelmed, she said.
Feeling overwhelmed has many faces. According to Deibler, overwhelm might manifest as an intense emotion, such as anxiety, anger or irritability; maladaptive thought process, such as worry, doubt or helplessness; and behavior, such as crying, lashing out or experiencing a panic attack.
Anxiety seems to be the most common, according to L. Kevin Chapman, Ph.D, a psychologist and associate professor in clinical psychology at the University of Louisville, where he studies and treats anxiety disorders. For instance, you might experience a fast heartbeat, sweating, tingling, chest pain or shortness of breath, he said.
What causes overwhelm?

I agree with these strategies. They are all very helpful. But where is Jesus in all of this? Jesus is our counselor. He has promised us peace in times of trouble. "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint. Isaiah 40:28-31 (NIV)
When I am engaging all these stress relief actions I'm praying at the same time, incessantly, intensely. God hears us, He knows the seriousness of our hearts and the damaging issues generated by this stress. You've made a #1 point, and I personally appreciate your having brought up this. Currently I've done 25 sessions with VA counselors, PhD's, @ the VA for PTSD. They have helped me reduce the trauma, but I dare say I've not left God out of any of it. With God, it's going to work out much better, no doubt, none whatsoever.
James: I am so excited to hear that. So many people in this world have turned against God and focus on pleasing themselves. The consequences I see from this are so many people in distress, depressed, sad and lonely. I want them to have what I have. It wasn't always this way for me; I was 31 years old before I finally gave my life to Jesus. Since that time, my focus, desires and actions have changed. I have been transformed by Jesus Christ. Amen
Wow, you have no idea how right on time your comment is! I prayed before reading this and praying made me feel better than all of these suggestions combined! I truly believe your post is here to help people like me really trust the Lord. Thank you and keep spreading His Word! In Jesus' love!
Thank you for many excellent articles and thoughts.
I particularly enjoyed this one on how we can be become overwhelmed, and also your other on how to
get our loved ones the psychological "we" need.
You remind me much of Kay Jamieson Redfield.
I have a wonderful, bright, successful daughter who is going through what I consider "Success Syndrome"–the gross carving and building is over
and now only the "sandpaper refinement" stage is left. Yes, this is the important, essential part of her professional life–which is carrying over to her personal life, living, being, and doing.
She is irritable and pessimistic. A few years ago she turned down a prospective position as principal of a highly regarded high school in order to ressurect a fledging elementary school–which today only a few years later is successful under her leadership.
Recently she told me, "Dad, this school would have succeeded irrespective of me. It wasn't me who made it happen. It just happened."
Is that humility or insecurity? Where does dad go
from here. Please advise. Thank you.
Continued Success and Blessings–Rick Martinez
Thank you for sharing! As a therapist I see many clients feeling overwhelmed that leads to anxiety. I myself can fall victim to the overwhelmed experience and this was also a helpful reminder for me!
I feel that I do a lot of things to keep my husband happy and he never takes a minute to even let me know that he appreciates what I do. We have an 8 month old baby girl n my mom n me take care of her he never even offers to change a diaper. I been feeling overwhelm lately because his 20year old sister just told us she is pregnant and the bf doesn't want the baby so now she crys anf calls my husband when ever she needs money and he is always telling me how much she suffer. She doesn't.work, I worked my entired pregnancy and he never put thay mutch attention to.me. I need help or an advice am I been selfish or is he not giving me the attention I need?
"I feel that I do a lot of things to keep my husband happy…."
The answer is in your first sentence. You have conditioned your husband to become dependent on you, and appreciation gets overlooked. Therefore perhaps he doesn't think that YOU need (or want) him "to do" for you…or thinks that he doesn't have enough to offer you. So he helps his sister who definitely shows need.
Go for a walk, take a deep breath, etc….all those years of education to arrive at those suggestions to help relieve being overwhelmed??
I wish it were that easy!
After that walk, after that deep breath, the cause or causes are still going to be there exactly as they were before.
Being overwhelmed is more than just a feeling…it is KNOWING the FACT that important issues, circumstances, and problems need to be addressed…but have gone beyond our physical and/or financial, and/or emotional ability to resolve them no matter how hard we tried.
So now what?
I just say: "I've had it! Who cares?? What's the use?? Come what may."
I hear you! I feel the same way. I need some real help to alieviate the overwhemingness of my life. Yes, the walks, deep breaths used to work but not anymore. When I am done and come back to reality, every thing, problem and circumstance is still there staring me in the face and seems to grow exponentially, to the point of… "I can't do this, but I have to." I hate feeling this way and on the brink of tears, anger and withdrawl. I feel as if I have ruined any relationship i have because I can't just deal with life as well as everyone else around me seems to. Talking about nothing to people around me seems fake and I am not going to start sharing whats bothering me, than I just sound like a whiner. LIKE RIGHT NOW. UGH!
So I agree, Now what?!?!
Hi, "overwhelmed as well," I'm still over-whelmed with the same problems and MORE! So I searched the net again, and ironically came to this site, which I had forgotten about…and I read your message.
I really, really wish I could help you…but I don't have the stamina and clear-headedness needed to help anyone…as I muddle thru life myself. But I hope at least it helps you a bit to know that we BOTH share heavy burdens (alone?)…and if it were possible, at least I would listen to you.
I firmly believe in God and I pray, but it seems I'm only answered with even MORE trials.
I remind myself occasionally that eventually EVERYthing will pass…because things do pass, even though what we are enduring truly seems endless, especially with no let up in between.
Some things get resolved on their own, sometimes things get worse, and often things get better. And it's all supposed to make us stronger…although I don't feel that way from previous burdens that had passed.
Anyway, take care of YOUR self. Be kind to yourself. And indulge in a gooey treat or a treat of your choice!
The new year has been unlike no other of the previous 27 ive been with my girlfriend for nine years and I have much to fix as a man to be a considerable partner and father. My deep in thought silence is due to doubts in belief on my own behalf as being the person I'm expected to be in her eyes. I'm far from perfect and am completely overwhelmed by the changes necessary to gain her approval. My over analyst mind frame has her believing I'm hiding something other than showing her my weakness of not having an answer for all our problems in life. I'm stressed out and the steps are not working as a final solution. Now what
I'm learning to recognize the stuff that gets me anxious and feeling overwhelmed. I say "no" to some things when I can so that I don't feel overbooked with stuff. That way I keep things in my control. I also pray a lot, read the bible, especially the psalms. I can get into a meditative state when I do that. I put a lot of pressure on myself and I'm working on trying to quit doing that because all that does is make me feel more overwhelmed.
I try to control some situations that I think are going to overwhelm me by saying "no" to some things when I can. That way I don't feel too "overbooked" with stuff and I feel more in control of my life. I also read the bible, especially the psalms. It almost has a meditative effect on me.

Patrick Peterson to host 'Celebs and Steaks' to benefit at-risk youth
PHOENIX -- Patrick Peterson feels obligated to give back to the community, especially its children.
"I am in a powerful position to give back to these kids that may look up to me, that may want to be like but don't have the proper resources to be like me," he said Monday at Donovan's Steak and Chop House while talking about his �Celebs and Steaks' event, which will benefit the Patrick Peterson Foundation for Success. "By me growing up, my mom always told me without an education you won't be anyone, and I've seen a bunch of guys with great talent not only in football, but like drawing, being a nurse, being a doctor, but didn't have the proper tools to help them be successful.
"Once I was able to give back and being in the NFL, obviously they pay me pretty good so it was a no-brainer to give back and kind of show these kids with the proper tools, there's no way that you can't be successful."
The Patrick Peterson Foundation for Success' stated mission is to provide low-income and inner city youth with opportunities and resources to reach their full potential.
The Celebs and Steaks event, which will feature some of his Cardinals teammates as well as other notable people serving a four-course meal to guests, is scheduled for Monday, June 9.
"I believe it's a good way to raise money and to be able to do some of the things that we want to do in a much broader perspective," the 23-year-old Peterson said. "We want to be able to reach out to 30,000 kids, that's our goal, by the end of 2015.
"I believe in having these guys around, having the proper executives and employees come out and donate money toward things we need like the books, the school supplies, the list goes on -- the shoes. Whatever the case may be, I think it was a great idea to do it here in Arizona."
Peterson believes his notoriety and reputation for being a valuable member of the community will help draw a crowd to the event, which in turn allows him to use his fame to help others.
"I had a connection with this matter, watching kids grow up without the proper supplies and without the proper things that they need to be successful," he said. "Once I got here, that was some of the things. Once I got in the NFL, I knew what I wanted to do."
Peterson said the only questions were about what exactly he would do to help, not about whether he would help or not. It's almost as if he has no choice but to help.
"I can relate to what they're going through," he said.
General admission tickets for the event, which will start at 7:00 p.m., are on sale for $250 each, while VIP tickets are going for $350. There will also be a silent auction, with all the proceeds going to the foundation.
"Every dollar that is spent here, every check that is written to the Patrick Peterson for Success is going back to those kids to help those kids be successful."

LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
As we follow the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan, we're going to take a look at the history that word. Tsunami is originally a Japanese word, but it's been adopted all over the world.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Linguist Ben Zimmer of the Visual Thesaurus says the first English use happened over a hundred years ago, when an earthquake hit very close to where the current one did.
Mr. BEN ZIMMER (Executive Producer, VisualThesaurus.com): There was reporting in the National Geographic magazine, and it said: On the evening of June 15th, 1896, the northeast coast of Hondo, the main island of Japan, was struck by a great earthquake wave. And then it explained that the Japanese term for this was tsunami.
MONTAGNE: From that first mention, the term became more widespread, especially after the disaster that devastated Indonesia in 2004.
WERTHEIMER: Tsunami might have spread in use because the common synonym, tidal wave, is inaccurate. Waves from underwater earthquakes have nothing to do with tides. Then again, tsunami isn't technically accurate, either.
Professor ROBERT RAMSEY (Chairman, East Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Maryland): The normal etymology of that word is tsu-plus-nami, which is harbor-plus-wave. But, you know, these things don't just occur in harbors.
WERTHEIMER: That's Professor Robert Ramsey, who is chair of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Maryland.
MONTAGNE: He points out that the words we borrow from Japanese are usually cultural ones, like futon or sushi.
Prof. RAMSEY: Or karaoke, which is karaoke, or manga or anime.
MONTAGNE: Tsunamis are more general. They can happen anywhere in the world. Still, it's fitting that the global word for this natural disaster is Japanese. Almost a third of all recorded large tsunamis happened in that country.
Professor SUSAN NAPIER (Japanese Studies, Tufts University): There is this very intense relationship that the Japanese have with the sea.
WERTHEIMER: That's Susan Napier, professor of Japanese Studies at Tufts University.
Prof. NAPIER: They're an island country. Fish is their main staple of their diet. All the great woodblock print artists have many, many pictures of the ocean.
MONTAGNE: Then there's the recent film "Ponyo," by the famous animator Hayao Miyazaki, which tells the story of the sea submerging an entire town.
And in literature...
Prof. NAPIER: Kenzaburo Oe, he wrote a book called "Kozui Wa Waga Tamashii Ni Oyobi," "The Flood Waters Have Come into My Soul." It's about a group of young anarchists, and they dream that the world will eventually be destroyed by nuclear energy, and then a wave will rise. It's a very prescient work.
MONTAGNE: Certainly, this disaster is very real, and we'll continue to follow relief efforts in Japan in the coming days.
(Soundbite of music)

For exterior signs, PVC letters are a long-lasting choice! Typically letters are router or laser cut from 1/8" to 1" thick, white PVC. Choose the thickness, depending upon the height of the letter and the visibility needed. PVC is widely used for address numbers, as it can take abuse from birds and weather, and when they get to looking tired, you can freshen them up with a coat of paint! PVC letters will outlast foam letters for many years.
Give us a call and we'll advise you of the best thickness to use based on the letter height, viewing distance, location and your budget!

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Sprachtypologie / Language typology
Year of publication
Document Type
- Working Paper (16)
- Part of a Book (3)
- Periodical (1)
- Linguistik (20) (remove)
- Acquisition of aspect (2003)
- Questions and focus (2003)
- Nominalizations (2002)
- The present volume is a selection of the papers presented in workshops at ZAS in Berlin in November 2000 and at theUniversity of Tübingen in April 2001, devoted to synchronic and, diachronic aspects of various types of nominalizations. Nominalization has a long history in linguistic research. Its nature can only be captured by taking into account the interface between morphology, syntax and semantics on the one hand, and the interface between semantics and conceptual structure on the other.
- Papers for Ewald Lang (2001)
- Information structure and the referential status of linguistic expression : workshop as part of the 23th annual meetings of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft in Leipzig, Leipzig, February 28 - March 2, 2001 (2001)
- This volume comprises papers that were given at the workshop Information Structure and the Referential Status of Linguistic Expressions, which we organized during the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft (DGfS) Conference in Leipzig in February 2001. At this workshop we discussed the connection between information structure and the referential interpretation of linguistic expressions, a topic mostly neglected in current linguistics research. One common aim of the papers is to find out to what extent the focus-background as well as the topic-comment structuring determine the referential interpretation of simple arguments like definite and indefinite NPs on the one hand and sentences on the other.
- Proceedings of the workshop on Syntax of Predication, Nov 2-3, 2001, ZAS-Berlin (2001)
- This volume presents working versions of presentations heard at and selected for the Workshop on Syntax of Predication, held at ZAS, Berlin, on November 2-3, 2001 (except the editor's own paper). Predication is a many-faceted topic which involves both syntax and semantics and the interface between them. This is reflected in the papers of the volume.
- Einführung (2000)
- Der vorliegende Band setzt im Anschluß an den Band ZAS Papers in Linguistics 14 (1999) die Vorpublikation von Arbeiten fort, die innerhalb oder im Umkreis des von der DFG geförderten Projekts »Schnittstellen der Semantik: Kopula-Prädikativ-Konstruktionen« am ZAS entstanden sind. Das Rahmenthema, wie es in ZAS PIL 14 einleitend knapp umrissen wurde, wird derzeit im Projekt in drei Untersuchungssträngen bearbeitet.
- Towards an explanation of copula effects (2000)
- This paper deals with a series of semantic contrasts between the copula "be" and the preposition "as", two functional elements that both head elementary predication structures. It will be argued that the meaning of "as" is a type lowering device shifting the meaning of its complement NP from generalized quantifier type to property type (where properties are conceived as relations between individuals and situations), while the copula "be" induces a type coercion from (partial) situations to (total) possible worlds. Paired with van der Sandt's 1992 theory of presupposition accommodation, these assumptions will account for the observed contrasts between "as" and "be".

Quickie Reaction To The Romney Speech
A couple of thoughts: First, I didn't hear Romney use the word "Mormon" (or a variant of the word) a single time during the speech. (For what it's worth, I just heard a CNN commentator say he used the word once.) But if you were watching on CNN, you saw this weird red graphic appear on the left-hand third of your screen a few minutes into the speech, with the word "Mormon" in big block letters and various disconcerting facts scrolling across the bottom of it.
December 05, 2007
The Big Test
In January, Damon Linker wrote a cover story for TNR arguing that understanding Mormonism, and specifically understanding Mitt Romney's relationship to Mormonism, is critical in assessing his fitness for the presidency. "Mormonism," Linker writes, "lacks the intellectual or spiritual resources to challenge a declaration of the prophet who runs the church, regardless of how theologically or morally outrageous that declaration might be." In the first paragraph, Linker predicts that Romney will give a speech to explain his faith at the outset of the campaign.
Going Down
Most days, the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel in Manila caters to a cross-section of elite Philippine society. Politicians in sharp suits swap stories in the coffee shop, while society ladies with bouffant hairdos and glittery mobile phones take their usual tables for lunch. But last week, a different crowd crashed the Peninsula, as a group of army officers barged into the hotel and commandeered the place to call for the resignation of Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
What's Your Problem?
What's the problem with Mitt Romney's speech about his faith?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> PETER BEINART is editor-at-large at The New Republic, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and the author of The Good Fight (HarperCollins).

Missouri Breaks
INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI "As much as we would all like to believe the General Assembly is a 'Mr. Smith' kind of entity, the reality is that these institutions are far more like a tug of war," says State Senator Chris Koster, as we sit over coffee at the Courtyard Exchange. "If you are going to go down there, you have to get on one side of the rope or the other, and I realized I was on the wrong side of the rope." Koster was elected a state senator in 2004 as part of a swing to the Republican Party in Missouri.
A Non-Military Response
TINGO MARIA, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Peru--I recently witnessed the beginning of a police operation that led to the death of a top member of Shining Path, the terrorist organization that has been active in this country since 1980, and the capture of another.
Schilling Pitches For Mccain
Manchester, New Hampshire -- I know that over on his fancypants blog Mike already promised you details of the John McCain-Curt Schilling confab. But since we both wound up at the same event, Mike's graciously decided to throw the Plank a bone and has allowed me to do the honors. If McCain wants to go from second to first in the New Hampshire polls, he might want to consider bringing Schilling along with him to every campaign stop.
The Second Amendment Revolution
Here is a remarkable development. Just twenty-five years ago, there was a strong consensus, among judges and academics, that the Second Amendment did not create an individual right. No federal court had invalidated a restriction on guns on Second Amendment grounds (ever). As recently as 1992, Chief Justice Warren Burger, a conservative Republican appointee, rejected the individual rights view in public. (For some details, see my TNR piece, "The Most Mysterious Right.") In a short period, the consensus has shattered.

The 49er
By the thinnest of margins--51 to 49--this Sunday, Venezuelan voters defeated a referendum that would have drastically increased President Hugo Chávez's already tremendous powers. The 69 proposed amendments would have further consolidated Chavez's gradual but unyielding effort to seize control of just about every level of political and economic life in Venezuela. Among other things, the amendments would have granted Chávez control over the central bank, allowed the government to detain citizens without charges during states of emergency, and opened the way for Chávez's unlimited reelection.
Where Are the Anti-Fascists?
The memory of the crimes of the Nazi era and the determination to oppose anti-Semitism in all its forms have been constitutive and distinctive features of German democracy since 1949, when it was articulated by the founding generation of political leaders of West Germany's Federal Republic. Judging by the memorials, commemorative days, books, and films about Nazism and the Holocaust, this tradition of remembering the murdered Jews of Europe remains firmly embedded in the political culture of contemporary German public life.

I saw little rooster pincushions for sale at a quilt show recently and I thought they were so cute, but I didn't want to pay $5 for a tiny one. So I decided I would love it even more if I made my own out of my own stash of fabrics. I found the instructions on the internet at http://www.web-goddess.org/archive.php/postID/2529. I made mine out of 5.5" squares and used prairie points for the beak, comb, and tail. For the eyes, I used some alphabet beads of the letter "O". I stuffed it with steel wool and foam batting. (I read somewhere that using steel wool will keep your pins sharp.) I positioned the steel wool towards the chickens' back because I didn't want to stab pins into his chest – it felt to voodoo-like. This way, I can pretend I'm giving him acupuncture instead. Now his "O" eyes say, "Squawk! You stabbed me in the back! Ooh…but that feels good!"

2nd blizzard in less than week slams Plains regionBy BETSY BLANEY
The Associated Press | February 26,2013AP Photo
Amarillo emergency personnel assists a stranded motorist on the Interstate 40 service road Monday.LUBBOCK, Texas Blizzard conditions again descended on the midsection of the country Monday, forcing the closure of highways in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles and putting already snow-covered parts of Kansas on high alert as the day progresses.
National Weather Service officials issued blizzard warnings and watches in Kansas and Oklahoma through late Monday as the storm tracks north and east across West Texas toward Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
A strong low pressure system is feeding the wintry beast, Greg Carbin, a meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said.
The more intense the low, the stronger the storm as far as pulling air in, he said. Thats what gives us the high winds.
But because not all of the regions temperatures were below freezing, heavy rain and thunderstorms pelted eastern Arkansas and Texas, as well as western Arkansas and Louisiana.
March is the time we see intense winter storms in the Plains, Carbin said. He added the storms path will take it through the upper Midwest, including Chicago and Detroit, before pushing eastward.
The system had already passed through Colorado, where flights were canceled, Denver city offices had delayed openings and snow was piled as much as two-feet deep.
In a drought-stricken region thirsting for moisture, the storm could help replenish the groundwater. Climatologists say 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain, depending on the density of the snow.
Is it a drought buster? Absolutely not, Victor Murphy with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas, said. Will it bring short-term improvement? Yes.
In the Texas Panhandle, wind gusts up to 65 mph and heavy snow had made all roads impassable and created whiteout conditions, Paul Braun, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, said. Airports are also closed, and state troopers are unable to respond to calls for assistance.
Its just a good day to stay home, Braun said. This is one of the worst ones weve had for a while.
Texas rancher Jay OBrien warned the storm could be deadly for grazing cattle, including some calves born in recent days. The wind will push animals into in a fenced corner where they could suffocate from the moisture.
This type of snow is a cattle killer, he said, noting that feedlot cattle can lose up to 40 pounds in a storm of this severity. The size of the nations cattle herd is already at its lowest since 1952.
Amarillo could set a record for daily snowfall, Murphy said, as the city had received about 16 inches by noon Monday and is forecast for up to 18 inches. The daily record is 18.1 inches set in 1934.
Oklahoma also was under a blizzard warning, where officials warned that travel would be especially dangerous through Tuesday morning in the Panhandle and counties along the Kansas border. Forecasters said up to 16 inches of snow could accumulate in some areas, with wind gusts reaching up to 55 mph.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol closed all highways in the states Panhandle, citing slick roads and limited visibility. Trooper Betsy Randolph said the patrol advised its non-essential personnel to stay home until Wednesday. About a dozen flights were canceled at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
Kansas is in the storms path as well, even though Wichita residents had barely recovered from last weeks storm that dumped up to 18 inches of snow. Forecasts show some parts of Kansas could receive another 8 to 24 inches of new snow.
Stephanie Happy, a stay-at-home mom, was putting bananas and salad fixings into her grocery cart Monday as the first flakes of snow began to fall in Belle Plaine, about 30 miles south of Wichita.
Her two children, ages 16 and 14, were both home from school since classes were cancelled.
It can be fun, she said.
Tuesday is primary day in two south-central Kansas counties, and the storm has led officials to consolidate all polling places in one in each county.
Terry Rugkin, a social services supervisor, was collecting his mail from the post office in Belle Plaine early Monday just as the first flakes of snow fell. Rugkins office in Winfield was closed, but his wife still had to go to work at a same-day surgery center in Wichita.
They booked her into a motel for two nights.
We decided it was better to send her up there, Rugkin said.

Best Black-and-White Photography on Instagram
Black-and-White Beauties: 9 Instagrammers You Need to Follow Now
Cameras have come a long way since the black-and-white heliographs and daguerreotypes of the 1800s. The photo gadgets of today, with advanced resolution, dynamic range, and shutter-speed technology, were absolutely unthinkable in the 19th century. And yet, there's still something beautiful about the gauzy, slightly blurred look of low-tech cameras.
Black-and-white photographers on Instagram are bringing the art form back to its colorless origins with striking images that put the focus on composition, subject, and portraiture. We scoured the photo-sharing social network for the best shutterbugs and found amazing artists from all ends of the spectrum. In the gallery, feast your eyes on black-and-white beauties of urban life, abstractions, and more — then follow these Instagrammers ASAP.

New Berlin — With the sale of the former Glen Park Elementary School pending, the specially-designed stained glass art that framed the school's main doors has been rescued and given a new home at another New Berlin school.
Now at Elmwood Elementary School, 5900 S. Sunnyslope Road, the glass art was rededicated in ceremonies recently.
For the glass art, artist/New Berlin teacher and resident Bruce Heil recreated in vibrant colored glass each season of the school year. He incorporated letters of the alphabet to reflect the learning that went on inside the school where he taught.
The 84-square-foot work of art took Heil six months to create. The Glen Park Home and School funded the project that was a major work on Heil's journey to obtain a master's degree in art education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Transferring the stained glass work to a new home illustrates once again how the school district treasures the gifts it receives, said Andy Stefancin, director of buildings and grounds.
"From a community standpoint, it's important for people to know they don't get lost or thrown away," he said.
Another example of a gift that has been preserved is an elaborate quilt that once was at the former Prospect Hill Elementary School, he said. The quilt is now protected and on display in a case in the New Berlin Senior Center, Stefancin said.
"It's gorgeous," he said.
Moving the stained glass art was not as hard as it could have been because the panels were laid into the windows for protection, he said. So, they were easily removed, sandwiched between cardboard and slabs of wood, piled up and shrink-wrapped for transport, he said.
Finding the large work of art a home was a lot harder.
"It was the only place in the district that has a big enough setting," Stefancin said of Elmwood. But everything worked out well.
"It turned out really nice," Stefancin said.
Heil was known for his caring and for inspiring his students.
He bought art supplies with his own funds, fought for student art displays and focused on troubled kids through a mentoring program. He was co-author of an art education curriculum guide, developed a permanent art collection and gallery for Prospect Hill and Glen Park schools, and came to the School Board with art program proposals.
Heil, who also won acclaim himself as an artist, died in 2001 at the age of 50.
Glen Park, 3500 S. Glen Park Road, has been closed for two years and the school board has an accepted offer of $1.75 million for the school and the 10 acres it sits on from the Heritage Christian Schools, town of Brookfield.
To a large extent, the sale hinges on the city allowing Heritage to build a gymnasium addition and approving the proposed operations plan.
The school had planned to go before the Plan Commission June 2 and then July 7, but could not furnish plans in time for either meeting. With school just letting out in June, school officials were finally able to submit documents for the Aug. 4 meeting by the June 27 deadline, said Heritage Superintendent John Davis.
The School Board extended the deadline for closing on the property until after the August Plan Commission meeting, Davis said.

Calling for the resignation of a cabinet minister is the easiest gambit for any opposition.
It is also the laziest, most knee-jerk substitute for substantive debate and until ministers start standing in their place and accepting opposition counsel to end their political career, it is merely part of the daily Ottawa charade.
Shout "resign" too often and too loudly and the already diminished currency of the demand is totally devalued.
Tom Mulcair knows this.
So when the NDP leader rose last week to call for the resignation of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, it was something worth listening to, because Mulcair has been consistent on two matters — the principle of ministerial responsibility — and his aversion to that reflexive Opposition call for resignations.
Since assuming his role as Opposition leader last spring, Mulcair has pushed Stephen Harper's ministers to assume responsibility of their file, most notably Defence Minister Peter MacKay on the F-35 debacle.
But this was the first time he demanded a minister step aside.
The fallout from the tainted beef scandal continued over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Ten people, from Alberta to Newfoundland, are ill or recovering. Almost 2,000 products have been recalled, making it the largest beef recall in Canadian history.
The severe financial repercussions for the Alberta beef industry have already begun.
So, where does the food chain and the political chain intersect?
Ritz is just the most recent reminder that the problem is often not the act, but the reaction, and in this case, he failed Canadians.
No one expects Ritz to micromanage the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., the epicentre of this crisis.
This is also not the listeriosis breakout of 2008, which took 20 lives, and certainly not the tainted water scandal of Walkerton.
It is also not over yet.
It is, however, much more than Ritz (and much of the national media) deemed it initially.
Ritz initially denied there was a problem and fell to the usual Harper government fallback of defending industry when it should have been reassuring consumers.
When it became clear there was a problem, Ritz disappeared.
He was not in the House of Commons to rebuild confidence in consumers, or take questions, he blithely defended meat quality at a Saskatchewan luncheon as the crisis grew, he cut short a briefing in which he referred to anything that knocked him off his talking points as a "technical question."
He returned to Ottawa only last Thursday — and did answer questions for two days — but then refused interview requests and ducked all the major political talk shows over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Mulcair and the NDP methodically built a case.
They reminded Canadians of the listeriosis crisis four years ago, and Ritz's failed career as a comic when he referred to the crisis as "death by a thousand cuts ... or should I say cold cuts."
When told that someone had died in Prince Edward Island, he jokingly expressed his hope that it was Conservative tormenter Wayne Easter, a Liberal MP from the province.
Finally, last Thursday, Mulcair accused Ritz of doing nothing to change the system for four years, of withholding information from Canadians, of falling behind the American system in flagging a problem.
"That represents a serious breach of ethics and ministerial responsibility. The minister of agriculture has no other choice — he must step down, " Mulcair said.
The beef scandal broke, almost to the day, 27 years after the most celebrated tainted food scandal to ever hit the Canadian Parliament, the tainted tuna scandal that cost Progressive Conservative fisheries minister John Fraser his job.
Fraser's resignation came at a different time in Canadian politics, however.
He was out of a job days after the story was broken by CBC's the fifth estate, even though, as it turns out, no one was sickened by the tuna he allowed to get to supermarket shelves.
But at that time, ministerial responsibility meant something. It was not some abstract argument from the Opposition benches.
Despite his calls for the principle to apply in 2012, Mulcair is likely hearkening back to an era lost to the mists of nostalgia.
Ritz will keep his job, or at very least, he is safe as long as he is in the crosshairs.
Ministerial responsibility is not the logical outgrowth of the need to point fingers and draw blood.
It is an underlying principle of our system that says the responsibility to protect starts and ends with the minister.

Help me choose a name for my baby girl!
Hi there,
I am 34 weeks with my fourth! It's my first girl! I have three sons already (Xander Nathaniel, Braxton Lucas, Mason Wren) and I need a cutesy girl name to go with these! Here is my list:
Story Day
Brooklynn Rose
Bella Kathleen
Pippa Rae
Paysleigh Grace
Kristijana Rae
Let me know what you think. Thank you!
July 10th, 2013 01:54 PM #3
I think you boys names are nice. I really don't like these girls names though. They all seem so uber trendy and not in a good way. Bella Kathleen is the only nice one, but Bella is so overdone. How about Kathleen Bella? If you want more cutesy names, how about:
July 10th, 2013 02:01 PM #5
My favorite name is definitely Story. I think it is adorable and has a nice sound. But I dont really like it with the mn Day. When I was in elementary school we had a "story day" where the teacher would read us a book, so thats what it reminds me of.
Is there a reason you chose the spelling Paysleigh as opposed to Paisley? ive never seen it spelled that way-Kiele

New York, NY -- The Disaster Assistance Service Center (DASC) on 141 Worth St. in Manhattan will be changing hours of operation starting Monday, October 15.
New Hours
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"Federal, state, local and voluntary agency representatives have been meeting with nearly 500 visitors a day since the DASC opened and have helped more than 5,000 people so far," said Edward F. Jacoby, Jr., state coordinating officer. "The change in hours is meant to improve our ability to provide services. We want to accommodate people by working the hours that are most convenient for them to visit."
To avoid long lines, people are asked to make an appointment during their initial visit to the DASC. When they return for their appointments, they will meet with program representatives who will evaluate their situations on an individual basis. The DASC is staffed with representatives from many agencies, including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Safe Horizon, the city's Human Resources Administration, the state's Department of Labor, the U.S. Small Business Administration and FEMA.
The center will continue to provide professional childcare for people who are visiting with representatives to get advice and information on disaster housing and relocation, unemployment benefits, mental health counseling, low-interest disaster-related loans, legal and insurance issues, and more.
People can begin the recovery process today by calling FEMA's toll-free registration number:1-800-462-9029. The line is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For people who have a speech- or hearing-impairment, the TTY number is 1-800-462-7585. A telephone-translation service is available for people who speak languages other than English or Spanish. People who need to register in another language should have someone with them who speaks either English or Spanish when they call FEMA. This person will need to tell the operator which language is required. Then a translator will come on the line and speak to the applicant.
