The Pequot War was an armed conflict between the Pequot tribe and an alliance of the English colonists of the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their Native American allies (the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes) which occurred between 1634 and 1638. The Pequots lost the war. At the end, about seven hundred Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity.[1] Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to the West Indies.[2] Other survivors were dispersed. The result was the elimination of the Pequot as a viable polity in what is present-day Southern New England.
It would take the Pequot more than three and a half centuries to regain political and economic power in their traditional homeland along the Pequot (present-day Thames) and Mystic rivers in what is now southeastern Connecticut.[3]
The name Pequot is a Mohegan term, the meaning of which is in dispute among Algonquian-language specialists. Most recent sources in claiming that "Pequot" comes from Paquatauoq, (the destroyers), rely on the speculations of an early 20th-century authority on Algonquian languages, Frank Speck; an anthropologist and specialist of Pequot-Mohegan in the 1920s-1930s, he had doubts about this etymology. He believed that another term, translated as relating to the "shallowness of a body of water", seemed more plausible.[4]
The Pequot and their traditional enemies, the Mohegan, were at one time a single sociopolitical entity. Anthropologists and historians contend that sometime before contact with the Puritan English, they split into the two competing groups.[5] The earliest historians of the Pequot War speculated that the Pequot migrated from the upper Hudson River Valley toward central and eastern Connecticut sometime around 1500. These claims are disputed by the evidence of modern archeology and anthropology finds.[6]
In the 1630s, the Connecticut River Valley was in turmoil. The Pequot aggressively worked to extend their area of control, at the expense of the Wampanoag to the north, the Narragansett to the east, the Connecticut River Valley Algonquians and Mohegan to the west, and the Algonquian people of present-day Long Island to the south. The tribes contended for political dominance and control of the European fur trade. A series of smallpox epidemics over the course of the previous three decades had severely reduced the Native American populations due to their lack of immunity to the disease.[7] As a result, there was a power vacuum in the area.
The Dutch and the English, from Western Europe, across the Atlantic Ocean, were also striving to extend the reach of their trade into the interior to achieve dominance in the lush, fertile region. The colonies were new at the time, the original settlements having been founded in the 1620s. By 1636, the Dutch had fortified their trading post, and the English had built a trading fort at Saybrook. English Puritans from Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies settled at the then four recently established river towns of Windsor (1632,) Wethersfield (1633,), Hartford (1635) and Springfield (1636.)
Before the war's inception, efforts to control fur trade access resulted in a series of escalating incidents and attacks that increased tensions on both sides. Political divisions between the Pequot and Mohegan widened as they aligned with different trade sources—the Mohegan with the English, and the Pequot with the Dutch. The Pequot assaulted a tribe of Indians who had tried to trade at what is known as Hartford. Tension sparked as the Massachusetts Bay Colony, became a stronghold for wampum, the supply of which the Pequot had controlled up until 1633.[citation?] John Stone, an English rogue, smuggler and privateer, and about seven of his crew were murdered by the Western tributary clients of the Pequot, the Niantic. According to the Pequots' later explanations, they did that in reprisal for the Dutch having murdered the principal Pequot sachem Tatobem, and were unaware of the fact that Stone was English and not Dutch.[8] In the earlier incident, Tatobem had boarded a Dutch vessel to trade. Instead of conducting trade, the Dutch seized the sachem and appealed for a substantial amount of ransom for his safe return. The Pequot quickly sent bushels of wampum, but received only Tatobem's dead body in return.
Stone, the privateer, was from the West Indies. He had been banished from Boston for malfeasance (including drunkenness, adultery and piracy). Since he was known to have powerful connections in other colonies as well as London, he was expected to use them against the Boston colony. Setting sail from Boston, Stone abducted two Western Niantic men, forcing them to show him the way up the Connecticut River. Soon after, he and his crew were suddenly attacked and killed by a larger group of Western Niantic.[9] While the initial reactions in Boston varied between indifference and outright joy at Stone's death,[10] the colonial officials later decided to protest the killing. They did not accept the Pequots' excuses that they had been unaware of Stone's nationality. The Pequot sachem Sassacus sent some wampum to atone for the murders, but refused the colonists' demands that the Western Niantic warriors responsible for Stone's death be turned over to them for trial and punishment.[11]
On July 20, 1636, a respected trader named John Oldham was attacked on a trading voyage to Block Island. He and several of his crew were killed and his ship looted by Narragansett-allied Indians who sought to discourage English settlers from trading with their Pequot rivals. In the weeks that followed, colonial officials from Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, assumed the Narragansett were the likely culprits. Knowing that the Indians of Block Island were allies of the Eastern Niantic, who were allied with the Narragansett, Puritan officials became suspicious of the Narragansett.[12] However, Narragansett leaders were able to convince the English that the perpetrators were being sheltered by the Pequots.
News of Oldham's death became the subject of sermons in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In August, Governor Vane sent John Endecott to exact revenge on the Indians of Block Island. Endecott's party of roughly 90 men sailed to Block Island and attacked two apparently abandoned Niantic villages. Most of the Niantic escaped, while two of Endecott's men were injured. The English claimed to have killed 14, but later Narragansett reports claimed only one Indian was killed on the island. The Puritan militia burned the villages to the ground. They carried away crops which the Niantic had stored for winter, and destroyed what they could not carry. Endecott went on to Fort Saybrook.
The English at Saybrook were not happy about the raid, but agreed that some of them would accompany Endecott as guides. Endecott sailed along the coast to a Pequot village, where he repeated the previous year's demand of payment for the death of Stone and more for Oldham. After some discussion, Endecott concluded that the Pequot were stalling and attacked. The Pequot ruse had worked, and most escaped into the woods. Endecott had his forces burn down the village and crops before sailing home.
In the aftermath, the English of Connecticut Colony had to deal with the anger of the Pequot. The Pequot attempted to get their allies, some 36 tributary villages, to join their cause but were only partly effective. The Western Niantic joined them but the Eastern Niantic remained neutral. The traditional enemies of the Pequot, the Mohegan and the Narragansett, openly sided with the English. The Narragansett had warred with and lost territory to the Pequot in 1622. Now their friend Roger Williams urged the Narragansett to side with the English against the Pequot.
Through the Autumn and winter, Fort Saybrook was effectively besieged. People who ventured outside were killed. As spring arrived in 1637, the Pequot stepped up their raids on Connecticut towns. On April 23, Wongunk chief Sequin attacked Wethersfield with Pequot help. They killed six men and three women, a number of cattle and horses, and took two young girls captive. (They were daughters of William Swaine and were later ransomed by Dutch traders.)[13][14][15] In all, the towns lost about 30 settlers.
In May, leaders of Connecticut river towns met in Hartford, raised a militia, and placed Captain John Mason in command. Mason set out with 90 militia and 70 Mohegan warriors under Uncas to punish the Pequot. At Fort Saybrook, Captain Mason was joined by John Underhill and another 20 men. Underhill and Mason sailed from Fort Saybrook to Narragansett Bay, a tactic intended to mislead Pequot spies along the shoreline into thinking the English were not intending an attack. After landing the troops on shore, Mason and Underhill marched their forces approximately twenty miles towards Fort Mystic (present-day Mystic) and led a surprise attack before dawn.
Believing that the English had returned to Boston, the Pequot sachem Sassacus took several hundred of his warriors to make another raid on Hartford. Mason had visited and recruited the Narragansett, who joined him with several hundred warriors. Several allied Niantic warriors also joined Mason's group. On May 26, 1637, with a force up to about 400 fighting men, Mason attacked Misistuck by surprise. He estimated that "six or seven Hundred" Pequot were there when his forces assaulted the palisade. As some 150 warriors had accompanied Sassacus to Hartford, so the inhabitants remaining were largely Pequot women and children, and older men. Mason ordered that the enclosure be set on fire.
Justifying his conduct later, Mason declared that the attack against the Pequot was the act of a God who "laughed his Enemies and the Enemies of his People to scorn making [the Pequot] as a fiery Oven... Thus did the Lord judge among the Heathen, filling [Mystic] with dead Bodies."[16] Mason insisted that any Pequot attempting to escape the flames should be killed. Of the estimated 600 to 700 Pequot resident at Mystic that day, only seven survived to be taken prisoner, while another seven escaped to the woods.[17]
The Narragansett and Mohegan warriors with Mason and Underhill's colonial militia were horrified by the actions and "manner of the Englishmen's fight... because it is too furious, and slays too many men."[18][19] The Narragansett left the warfare and returned home.
Believing the mission accomplished, Mason set out for home. Becoming temporarily lost, his militia narrowly missed returning Pequot warriors. After seeing the destruction of Mystic, they gave chase to the English forces but to little avail.
The destruction of people and the village of Mystic broke the Pequot and deprived them of their allies. Forced to abandon their villages, the Pequot fled—mostly in small bands—to seek refuge with other southern Algonquian peoples. Many were hunted down by Mohegan and Narragansett warriors. The largest group, led by Sassacus, were denied aid by the Metoac (Montauk, or Montaukett) from present-day Long Island. Sassacus led roughly 400 warriors west along the coast toward the Dutch at New Amsterdam and their Native allies. When they crossed the Connecticut River, the Pequot killed three men whom they encountered near Fort Saybrook.
In mid-June, John Mason set out from Saybrook with 160 men and 40 Mohegan scouts led by Uncas. They caught up with the refugees at Sasqua, a Mattabesic village near present-day Fairfield, Connecticut. Surrounded in a nearby swamp, the Pequot refused to surrender. The English allowed several hundred, mostly women and children, to leave with the Mattabesic[citation needed]. In the ensuing battle, Sassacus broke free with perhaps 80 warriors, but 180 Pequot men were killed or captured. The colonists memorialized this event as the Great Swamp Fight, or Fairfield Swamp Fight in its modern interpretation.
Sassacus and his followers had hoped to gain refuge among the Mohawk in present-day New York. However, the Mohawk instead killed Sassacus and his warriors. They sent Sassacus' scalp to Hartford as a symbolic offering of Mohawk friendship with the Connecticut Colony. English colonial officials continued to call for hunting down what remained of the Pequot months after war's end.
In September, the victorious Mohegan and Narragansett met at the General Court of Connecticut and agreed on the disposition of the Pequot and their lands. The agreement, known as the first Treaty of Hartford, was signed on September 21, 1638. About 200 Pequot "old men, women, and children" survived the war and massacre at Mystic. Unable to find refuge with a neighboring tribe, they finally gave up and offered themselves as slaves in exchange for life:[20]:18[21]
" | There were then given to ONKOS, Sachem of MONHEAG, Eighty; to MYAN TONIMO, Sachem of NARRAGANSETT, Eighty; and to NYNIGRETT, Twenty, when he should satisfy for a Mare of Edward Pomroye's killed by his Men. The Pequots were then bound by COVENANT, That none should inhabit their native Country, nor should any of them be called PEQUOTS any more, but MOHEAGS and NARRAGANSETTS for ever.[20]:18 | " |
Other Pequot were enslaved and shipped to Bermuda or the West Indies, or were forced to become household servants in English households in Connecticut and Massachusetts Bay.[22] Colonists appropriated Pequot lands under claims of a "just war"[citation needed]. They essentially declared the Pequot extinct by prohibiting speaking the name of the people. The few Pequot who managed to evade death or slavery later recovered from captivity by the Mohegan and were assigned reservations in Connecticut Colony.
The colonists attributed the success of end of the 'murderous aggression' of the Pequot tribe to an act of God:
" | Let the whole Earth be filled with his glory! Thus the lord was pleased to smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their Land for an Inheritance.[20]:20 | " |
This was the first instance wherein Algonquian peoples of what is now southern New England encountered European-style warfare. The idea of "total war" was new to them.[citation needed] After the Pequot War, there were no significant battles between native peoples and colonists for about 38 years. This long period of peace came to an end in 1675 with King Philip's War.
The earliest accounts of the Pequot War were written by the victors within one year of the war. Later histories, with few exceptions, recounted events from a similar perspective, restating arguments first used by the war's military leaders, such as John Underhill and John Mason, as well the Puritan divines Increase Mather and his son Cotton Mather.[23]
Recent historians and other specialists have reviewed these accounts. In 2004, an artist and archaeologist teamed up to evaluate the sequence of events in the Pequot War. Their popular history took issue with events, and whether John Mason and John Underhill wrote the accounts that appeared under their names.[24] The authors have been adopted as honorary members of the Lenape Pequot.
Most modern historians such as Alfred A. Cave, a specialist in the ethnohistory of colonial America, do not debate questions of the outcome of the battle or its chronology. However, Cave contends that Mason and Underhill's eyewitness accounts, as well as the contemporaneous histories of Mather and Hubbard, were more "polemical than substantive."[25] The causes of the outbreak of hostilities, the reasons for the English fear and hatred of the Pequot, and the ways in which English dealt with and wrote about the Pequot, have been re-evaluated within a larger context than daily colonial life.
Historians have placed the background of the Pequot War within the context of European history, in which religious wars gave rise to increased violence, and Dutch and English colonization in North America, as well as the geopolitical ambitions and struggles of contending Native peoples during the first half of the 17th century. Such historians have doubts about traditional histories, characterizing them as hegemonic narratives that valorize Puritans at the expense of a "demonized" Native population. Alden T. Vaughan, a noted historian of colonial America, at first was a critic of the Pequot. Later he wrote that the Pequot were not "solely or even primarily responsible" for the war. He went on, "The Bay colony's gross escalation of violence ... made all-out war unavoidable; until then, negotiation was at least conceivable."[26]

Living with diabetes? Watch your mouth
Diabetes and Dental Health: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that people with diabetes are two times more likely to develop gum disease. Maintaining good oral care habits is essential. | File photo
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with diabetes are two times more likely to develop gum disease. In fact, about one-third of people with diabetes have severe gum disease.
Why are those with diabetes more vulnerable to gum disease? High blood glucose levels impair the body's ability to heal from oral infections and uncontrolled diabetes can make treating gum disease more difficult, according to the American Diabetes Association. The Association is joining with Colgate to launch a new "Watch Your Mouth!" campaign to help raise awareness surrounding the often over-looked link between oral health and diabetes. Here are five tips to help you live well with diabetes:
1. Begin to develop healthy oral care habits, like brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist regularly.
2. Don't miss out on your favorite foods. Just eat healthier versions that everyone in your family can enjoy. Making simple substitutions to most dishes can help increase nutritional value, while not sacrificing on taste.
3. Use the right tools. Stay organized with a journal large enough to keep your diet, exercise, goals and health information together. Keep a week's worth of prescriptions in one place with a handy pill case.
4. Know your risks. The American Diabetes Association lists the common risk factors for diabetes as being 45 or older, being overweight, not exercising regularly, having high blood pressure and being a part of certain racial and ethnic groups.
5. Visit your dentist. While your doctor and certified diabetes educator play an important role in helping with your diabetes, so does your dentist. If you don't see a private-practice dentist, you can visit dental schools that provide services at a fraction of the cost to help you keep your mouth healthy.

It might even differ between the k6, k6/2, k6/3 for all I know. Vendor kernels for mdk and I believe Suse are i586, RH used to ship with i386 and i686, don't know about fedora. The only thing against this is the "boot from installed system" utility. When you use that, does it use your LFS kernel, or does it use its own kernel ?

I had aspirations that my August photo South Pacific Dream would be a finalist this year; it wasn't meant to be I guess. Just so I know the process for future entries, do you look at every photo or is the viewing pool based on random criteria? Or is it, perhaps, based on the number of comments and ratings by viewers? I love your magazine and website--I'm an avid reader and user. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Let us start by saying your photograph is beautiful. It deserves the comments cntraveler.com users have given it.
Competition was tough this year: We received around 40,000 entries, many of them great (and yes, we look at each and every one). The judges had a tough job! Specifically in August, too, we had some really fine submissions. Another thing to keep in mind is that we weigh photo and text equally.
Hopefully this helps demystify the process a bit. And hopefully you continue to submit so that we continue to see your great images. Good luck, dgh_va!

WASHINGTON -- The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday began debate on more than 300 amendments to the comprehensive immigration bill, including a number of changes to sections on H-1B visas.
The debate put focus on sharp divisions that appear to pit U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a leading critic of the H-1B visas, against Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who has emerged as one of the leading tech industry supporters.
A key issue involves the amount of effort employers must make to hire a U.S. worker before filling a job with a visa holder. There are also concerns about the amount of power the U.S. Department of Labor and other agencies will have to audit and enforce visa usage.

Teepee Explains His Two-Year Disappearance, Eats Ten Bananas for Breakfast Everyday
Via Raven Sings the Blues |
Laurent had been renowned for his intense solo performances. He'd sing, play guitar, control a drum machine, and clamp down keyboard notes with saxophone reed holders. But then, just when more ears were tuned his way than ever, Teepee disappeared.
A pillar holding up the weird end of the Miami music scene, his absence made for a very noticable void.
Now, however, Teepee is releasing an excellent new dream-pop single, "Time Meant Nothing." The flip side of the single, "Let's Go All the Way" refines his drone-rock into a fuzzy knockout that might even get you dancing.
Last week, Crossfade sat down with Laurent to find out where he'd been, the recording of his new album (out in November), and what it's like to be back.
Where he's been for two years:
"Music is all I do. All I was doing is music. I would go home from the studio and go on the computer a little and eat and all that stuff. There was some traveling here and there. Not on purpose at first, but I ended up staying away from the scene until I became completely separate from it.
"I wanted to focus what I could put on tape. Going out is too distracting, especially here in Miami. I had to wake up early and eat well.
"I came to a weird regimen. I'd wake up around seven and then meditate. I'd plan out what my day was going to be in the studio and manifest it. I'd be in the studio all day with my producer. His name is Albert Ovadia and he's very meticulous about everything. The equalizers and making sure all the frequencies are right. He and I are perfectionists, and that's why it took so long. We had the sound and vision in mind and it took as long as it did."
The other hours of the day:
"Outside of the studio, I was with my girlfriend at the time. I was spending time with her. I was trying to develop myself as a person. Trying to get my health right, my fitness.
"That led to me becoming a fruitarian. I pretty much became a raw vegan, focused more on health and family. Just getting to know my family. Before, I was always out playing music and coming home late. You don't see your family until I don't know when, and then you realized you've missed out on them.
"I grew by abstaining. I see it everywhere. An example: when you travel and you're in a relationship. You travel and by not being with her, you tend to grow more for her, you can have more love for her because of it.
"That abstain to regain happens. The Buddha escaped from society, had his revelation, and then came back and did his thing. By removing myself, I was able to grow."

Big Eyed Rabbit performing Rob and Steal at Ralph's in Worcester MA
WoMag on Big Eyed Rabbit
Matt Robert at the Worcester Magazine writes about how the band got started.
Titles aside, though, Big Eyed Rabbit plays a loud, joyful and visceral stew of John Lee Hooker groove built on Jeff's deep bass and Duncan's swinging, forceful drumming, underpinning Jon's analog tube amp growl, rife with open-note harmonics and reliable alternating thumb-picked bass notes, while he sings about matters of love or relationship entanglements.
The story is in the behind-the-scenes aspects of the band: the vetting process that brought this particular lineup together, the approach to the stage act and recording, and a general philosophy that, though backed by unshakable conviction on the part of the band members, can nevertheless be difficult to articulate.

Backgrounds. Posterous vs. Tumblr: A Head to Head. In the space between a long-form blog and a short-form Twitter account, there are mini-blog services like Posterous and Tumblr that seek to make blogging much more immediate, support all types of rich media, allow for longer entries if needed, and support short spurts that auto-post to Twitter as well.
Once the niche powerhouse dominating this middle space, Tumblr has since seen Posterous, the somewhat unremarkable email-to-blog platform, rise from obscurity, iterate at lightning pace, and start to build up well-deserved web buzz and high profile users. This tumbling and posturing web-aholic has been using both sites for quite some time, so the head-to-head you're about to read is filled with intimate knowledge of both applications. Posting Options.

You can follow him on Twitter @samirbalwani and get his newsletter. As we battle a global recession, corporations are looking for new ways to sell their products and engage their consumers. Many have turned to the Internet, with Social Media in particular, to market their goods. Let's take a look at 10 companies that have done a phenomenal job of taking advantage of social media platforms. 10 Must-Follow Usability Experts on Twitter.
Nick Gould is CEO of usability and user experience design firm, Catalyst Group. He is @nickgould on Twitter. The popularity of the "#fail" meme on Twitter is proof positive that the tool is great for pointing out when things are wrong. "Usability" practitioners and those in the related fields of "user experience" or "user interface design" tend to be obsessed with fixing designs that aren't intuitive to use and helping their clients avoid those mistakes. You might be surprised by the range of things that are open to usability critiques: web site designs, ATM interfaces, beta software releases, confusing elevator buttons (all real examples from the Twitter feeds of usability pros). Experts in the field often tweet about their latest projects, conferences they are attending, or just point out their most recent usability outrage.
Finding the Right "Brand Voice" on Twitter. Kai Turner is head of Information Architecture at Agency.com – London.
You can follow him on Twitter. When businesses open an account on Twitter, they must consider the right "Brand Voice." It must be appropriate for what they want to say, and who they want to reach — a different sort of voice from the one companies have used in traditional print and broadcast media channels. Twitter works best with an even more open and authentic form of communication. While there is no established roadmap for launching a brand on Twitter, here are some of my observations about approaches to follow and pitfalls to avoid. 15 Fascinating Ways to Track Twitter Trends.

FileTwt, a beta service for file sharing on Twitter, is a basic but convenient utility for quickly sharing any file, up to 20MB, with your entire Twitter network or just a single user.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowDonald and Beverly Jacobs' Caribbean-inspired cafe delivers an experience that's not predicated on the typical restaurant script of "sit, order, eat, pay, leave." Instead, this is a meal more akin to visiting someone's home, where conversation and company is as much a part of the equation as the custom-tailored plates. The heart and soul of it all is Beverly Jacobs, a charismatic woman who wears her passion for food like an Atelier Versace gown. As you sit in her tiny restaurant lined with cargo nets, souvenirs, and strips of corrugated sheet metal, she'll offer you dishes like escovitch tilapia, jerk chicken and pork, and curry Golden crab, the sweet legs basking in a pool of spicy brown sauce. The laid back vibe is as much a part of the experience as the wonderful food; you'll want to soak everything in as you finish with a slice of rum cake so infused with spirits you'll be breathing fire after each bite.

I also get leg cramps, and more recently in the arch of my foot. With the leg cramps, what works best for me is just to simply stand up on the leg with the cramp. Since I mostly get them in the middle of the night, although it's very painful, I can do this.
What scares me is if were to get a leg or a foot cramp while driving. Then what do you do if you can't just stop and pull over? Any suggestions on that would be appreciated.

If 24 versions of its Pixi 3 lineup aren't enough, the company's throwing a 5.5-inch model into the mix.
Pricing not available
The sleek, compact SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System sounds tremendous with movies, thanks in large part to its potent subwoofer, but lacks warmth with music.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
BBM for Windows Phone is a great social networking option for BlackBerry fans, but competing chat apps offer more functionality, and have a far broader audience.

With its convenient and portable package, the Energizer 5W Wall Charger offers some welcome improvements over the common cell phone charger.
The LG Marquee's slim design and jam-packed feature set make it Boost Mobile's flagship phone. But its high price (even without a contract) and slow processor will make it a tough sell.
The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch is a decent tablet, but there are simply better options out there for the price.
The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 should satisfy BlackBerry fans with its responsive touch screen and overall specs, but for $50 more, T-Mobile customers could get the much better Bold 9900 instead.
The Monoprice 8247 does the impossible by offering a competent 5.1 speaker system for less than $100, setting a new standard for ultrabudget speakers.
Although it performed adequately in our print speed tests, this basic monochrome laser printer is outgunned by competitive devices with wireless networking for the same price.

Thursday 24 January 2013
'Increasing enterprise growth' is the number one business priority for chief information officers in 2013, it has been reported.
Research conducted by Gartner found that CIOs were primarily focused on growing their organisations, with 'delivering operational results' and 'reducing enterprise costs' also key aims.
Number four on the list of business priorities is 'attracting and retaining new customers', ahead of 'improving IT applications and infrastructure' and 'creating new products and services'.
Other business priorities in the top ten include 'creating new products and services', 'improving efficiency', 'attracting and retaining the workforce', 'implementing analytics and big data' and 'expanding into new markets and geographies'.
A role beyond the tech function
Some 67 per cent of CIOs surveyed said they have significant leadership responsibilities outside of IT.
This contrasts greatly with 2008, when almost half of CIOs had no responsibilities outside of the technology function.
"IT cannot expect to secure additional funding without assuming new responsibilities or producing new results," said Dave Aron, vice-president and Gartner fellow.
"Adapting to, and leading, in the digital world requires doing things differently, yet in ways consistent with the demands of digital technologies."
He said CIOs need to make the case that mainstream emerging mobile, big data, social and cloud technologies justify revisiting IT budget and investment levels."
IT priorities for the CIO
The Gartner study also offered insight into CIO's IT priorities, with 'analytics and business intelligence' claiming the top spot, ahead of 'mobile technologies' and 'cloud computing'.
'Collaboration technologies' designed to encourage employees to work together better came next, ahead of 'legacy modernisation' and 'IT management'.
'Customer relationship management', 'virtualisation', 'security' and 'enterprise resource planning applications completed the top ten.
The CIO study revealed that IT leaders think they are realising just 43 percent of technology's business potential.
"Digital technologies provide a platform to achieve results, but only if CIOs adopt new roles and behaviors to find digital value," said Mark McDonald, group vice-president and Gartner Fellow.
"CIOs require a new agenda that incorporates hunting for new digital innovations and opportunities, and harvesting value from products, services and operations."

This is not your grandmother's roller derby, but that is okay, it is still entertaining and competitive.
"This is our first bout, down at the Schwartz Center downtown," said Kelsey "Psychodelic" Lingerfelt of the Cape Fear Roller Girls. "We're really excited. We have been working a long time to get this to happen. We are pretty stoked about it."
Modern day roller derby is predominantly female. There is a bit of satirical punk mixed in with pure athleticism.
In roller derby there are "jammers"; you can also find tripping and illegal blocking, but you probably won't see a fight. "When most people think about derby they think about the banked tracks. A lot of it in the past was staged. It was the WWF of the derby world," Kate "Truck Nuts" Goodnight said. "We're sort of like the Ultimate Fighting Challenge, but we have more rules and less cage."
Fight or not, roller derby is physical, especially the bouts. Practice can be rugged as well. Caroline "Dixie Diesel" Cooley said, "This is our first game of the season, we have a lot of good & new girls. It should be an exciting game." This sport is more than just power though; it takes strategy and skill to come out with a victory.
Currently there are over a hundred roller derby leagues across the nation. These girls hope to see you on Saturday! "These are real hits. This is real athletes. It's like a good game of rugby," described Renee "Crash Nasty" Newton.
Tickets are ten dollars in advance at Doublewide Skate & Surf Shop on Front Street, as well as Gravity Records on Kerr Avenue. Otherwise, it is 12 dollars at the door Saturday night at the Schwartz Center.

Kobe's Quick Return Exactly What NBA Needs
Posted By Matt Serio On September 13, 2013 @ 12:06 PM In NBA | No Comments
[1]When Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles, made two free throws in a tight game against the Golden State Warriors and then retreated to the locker room, everyone panicked.
Well, not at first.
The underlying assumption seemed to be that Kobe would somehow find a way to return to action in the near future, simply because he's invulnerable and couldn't possibly have the same fatal flaw as a notable hero from the Trojan War.
But once the extent of the injury was announced, the panic actually set in. Los Angeles Lakers fans were mortified that their superstar was out for an extended period of time, and NBA fans in general started preparing for the worst.

Hey:) just read through your log and I have to say both you and thereisalwayshope are very strong people with positive attitudes, I admire that
I wanted to ask you, what made the flakes stop? My skin is like really rough in texture bc of the flakes and dryness
Moisturizer and jojoba oil did the job but as of now I'm on 230 days of the regimen and my skin is dry as hell. Like flaky dry an not even moisturizer an jojoba oil works for me anymore.
However when I began the regimen the flakiness began to subside during the fourth week. The first month is tough but if you can get past the first month everything else will begin to see the bright light of day stick to the regimen it works for most acne sufferers . Just be patient and always moisturize . ALWAYS !

a written text deliberately composed of words not having a certain letter (such as the Odyssey of Tryphiodorus, which had no alpha in the first book, no beta in the second, and so on). The French writer Georges Perec composed his novel La Disparition (1969; A Void) entirely without using the letter e; his English translator, Gilbert Adair, succeeded in avoiding that letter as well.

GARDEN VALLEY, Ore. — An early-morning fire destroyed a 110-year-old Garden Valley home.
The homeowner woke up to find flames on the ceiling and in the bathroom and called 9-1-1.
The roof collapsed while fire fighters were battling the blaze. It took them nearly two and a half hours to get the fire under control.
No one was hurt, but the house is a total loss and damage is estimated at $100,000.

Condolences to Gashimov family from AZ President
President conveys condolences to Gashimov's family
Mon 13 January 2014 13:37 GMT | 18:37 Local Time
President Ilham Aliyev has conveyed his condolences to the family of chess player Vugar Gashimov.
Gun.Az reports citing the president's official website that the condolence says:
I have been very saddened with the premature death of your son, prominent Azerbaijani chess player, three-fold Azerbaijani champion, grandmaster Vugar Gashimov.
The services of Vugar Gashimov before the Azerbaijani sport are irreplaceable. He made unprecedented contributions to the development of the Azerbaijani chess school and always raised the name of our country to the heights with his bright victories.
The Azerbaijani people and the sport community are proud of our talented chess player, who was one of the strongest chess players of the world, and were awaiting many more victories.
The bitter fate took away Vugar Gashimov from among us in the time of his blossoming talent. But his bright memory will always dwell in the hearts of all of our, the Azerbaijani people and all chess fans.
In these hard moments, I share your grief and convey my condolences with deep regret to You, Mrs. Aida, and to all family members.
God bless him!

Mr. Azerbaijan President. If you're really sincere about honoring GM Gashimov you would make a book about the late GM's life & brilliant games.

Brazilian authorities are investigating people who might have abused Orkut, a social networking site owned by Google Inc., and have asked Google Brazil to turn over information about Orkut users.
Google maintains that it is open to requests for information from foreign governments as long as the requests comply with United States laws and that they are issued within the country where the information is stored, Frost said.
Onya Woz
The crux to the whole matter seems to be opinions as to jurisdiction based on the location of applicable data.
[edited by: Woz at 12:32 am (utc) on Aug. 25, 2007]
I've been following this topic closely. I'm not impressed with Google's handling of the matter. I'm sure there are legal steps and guidelines to follow but why the hell are you wasting investor's money battling this in court?
The way I "would" read this is Google is pretty much protecting those peds. Turn the freakin' data over and be done with it damnit! I'd bet that if these were Google Children, this would have never made the news and those peds would be on their merry way to pedland.
That last article link posted by Woz says it all...
Its a rather big smack in the face for Google. And, if this really makes it to the public mainstream, I think it could leave a fairly large black eye on The Gorg.
[edited by: pageoneresults at 2:16 pm (utc) on Aug. 26, 2007]
Google has provided the vehicle for these peds and now they want to argue the finer points of law. I really hope this makes it in front of the right groups here in the U.S. I think The Gorg will find out just how vulnerable it can be to public outcry.
I'm ashamed for Google.
I wonder why Google did not come out by themselves to fight the criminal activities on their platform. Now they have a bad publicity stunt at hand.
If they give out the data to the Brazil authorities, they treat Brazil differently to China. If not, they support pedophiles. This is a question of principles (in this case, I would go for the latin meaning of "discrimination" in favor of getting the pedophiles), but it involves more than just that...
2 pennies, P!
I am glad that they aren't bending here. Otherwise a nasty precendent could be set for foreign bodies to seize data.
Does it mean I can move to Brazil, open a website and profit from pedophilia and the Brazilian government cannot legally do anything unless they follow the US jurisdiction just because my hosting provider's servers (and the offending material/proofs) are located in the US? That would be a paradise for any kind of online criminals, including credit card or money laundering frauds.
The Brazilians need to stop quibbling about points of law, phone up their counterparts in the United States and get the data. Makes me wonder if they don't have evidence sufficient to demand the data under United States law?
This time it's p�dophiles, but next time it could be to identify those with anti-government sentiments. Once that precedent is set, there'll be nothing Google can do say no.
May be that it's time for an accidental leak. "Dear John, Can you file the attached records securely as the Brazilians are after them.".. accidentally sent to the court instead of Google.br's office. Information reaches court, no precedent is set.
and the Saudis will demand a handover of the data that identifies the women who showed their ankles--or whatever they're not supposed to show.
Pedophilia is against the law in the US as well, I am sure ICE would love to jump in. It just seems that Brazil is using pedophilia to shame google, especially since "spreading hate" seems to be at the top of their crime fighting agenda.
Go to youtube and see some videos about the slums and you will notice the disconnect
Then why this resistance when some other government is asking for info on pedophiles? Guess it is time for Brazil and other countries to put a firewall of their own in place.

[iPhone] EyeReader is a tool for magnifying text and adding light while reading
Posted By Tucker On July 9, 2013 @ 8:51 AM In iOS | No Comments
[1]If you're one of the lucky people out there who has never needed glasses, I am SO jealous. I've been wearing mine since grade school, and my vision seems to get a little worse every year. If you've got poor vision and you've forgotten your glasses at home (or your current pair of specs just won't cut it any more for whatever reason), there are a few iPhone apps out there that can help boost your vision using your iPhone camera. Often advertised as being good for seeing small print menus in darkened restaurants, these types of apps can also help you see fine print on bottles of prescription medicine or other tiny type. One such app is EyeReader.
Main Functionality
EyeReader is a tool for magnifying text and adding light, making it easy to read in low light conditions.
[2]EyeReader does a lot of things right. It lets you make use of the iPhone's camera flash to cast some light on whatever it is you need to read, which is crucial for an app of this type.
The zoom capabilities are smooth, and powerful. There are some scathing user reviews on the App Store that criticize this app's zoom capabilities, but I think they must refer to an older version: the zoom worked great for me.
That being said, there are some issues. Other apps of this ilk let you freeze an image, which is awesome. Here, however, you have to snap a picture of what you're looking at, and then move to your camera roll to see the image. That seems like an extra step that's not strictly necessary. There also seem to be zoom in and zoom out buttons that do nothing when I touch them: the only way to zoom is by pinching over the live camera feed.
The app lets you switch between magnifier mode and "mirror" mode (aka using the front-facing camera to look at yourself.) It's a nice feature, but it seems a little out of place. I wish the developers had skipped over the mirror feature and worked on making the magnifier more user-friendly.
EyeReader has some annoyances. It's not a bad app, but it also doesn't do very much to stand out from similar apps in this category. It's good in a pinch if you've forgotten your glasses and need a bit of help reading find print. There are better apps in this category, with more robust features. However, this app isn't terrible, and it's an acceptable choice.

Eldest do better on the IQ?
Boys treated as eldest do better on IQ tests
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Boys at the top of the pecking order -- either by birth or because their older siblings died -- score higher on IQ tests than their younger brothers. The question of whether firstborn and only children are really smarter than those who come along later has been hotly debated for more than a century. Norwegian researchers now report that it isn't a matter of being born first, but growing up the senior child, that seems to result in the higher IQ scores. Petter Kristensen and Tor Bjerkedal report their findings in Friday's issue of the journal Science. It's a matter of what they call social rank in the family -- the highest scores were racked up by the senior boy -- the first born or, if the firstborn had died in infancy, the next oldest. Kristensen, of Norway's National Institute of Occupational Health, and Bjerkedal, of the Norwegian Armed Forces Medical Services, studied the IQ test results of 241,310 Norwegian men drafted into the armed forces between 1967 and 1976. All were aged 18 or 19 at the time. The average IQ of first-born men was 103.2, they found. Second-born men averaged 101.2, but second-born men whose older sibling died in infancy scored 102.9. And for third-borns, the average was 100.0. But if both older siblings died young, the third-born score rose to 102.6. Social rank, not birth order The findings provide "evidence that the relation between birth order and IQ score is dependent on the social rank in the family and not birth order as such," they concluded. It's an issue that has perplexed people since at least 1874, when Sir Francis Galton reported that men in prominent positions tend to be firstborns more often than would have been statistically expected. Since then, several studies have reported higher intelligence scores for firstborns, while other analyses have questioned those findings and the methodology of the reports. While the Norwegian analysis focused on men, other studies have included women, some indicating a birth-order effect and some not. Frank J. Sulloway of the Institute for Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley, welcomed what he called the Norwegians' "elegantly designed" analysis. "These two researchers demonstrate that how study participants were raised, not how they were born, is what actually influences their IQs," said Sulloway, who was not part of the research team. The elder child pulls ahead, he said, perhaps as a result of learning gained through the process of tutoring younger brothers and sisters. The older child benefits by having to organize and express its thoughts to tutor youngsters, he said, while the later children may have no one to tutor. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/paren....ap/index.html |
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
So how many of the SF members are the eldest? :smile: Or maybe I should just ask how many of us are SMART? :wink02:
As for me I'm the second oldest. I wish it meant that I'm the second smart of all 4 boys, but I guess not. :coffee: My 2 younger brothers are not doing bad at all in school. :cheers: |
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
im the eldest, and although my younger brother has a masters degree, im pretty sure i could beat him in the test. then again i was always in the "gifted program" throughout school, received academic scholorships, and more used to those kinds of tests.
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
Im the second brother the only thing i have to offer is that i am a steelers fan and older brother is a browns fan enough said
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
I am the 5th of 7 children....My Mother was extremely bright but only recieved her associates degree before starting a family...My second oldest brother is one of the brightest people I know, he never went to college but runs three businesses and is EXTREMELY successful. My sister tested high and never went to college...but was smart enough to marry an attorney. I have tested my I.Q. between 134 and 140....and I SUCK at math...(But if your playing trivial pursuit..I am the man for geography and social science)....My youngest brother never tested very high but is an electrical foreman..and very sucessful
....so I have always thought the tests were rather arbitrary. |
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
I'm pretty sure my older brother is smarter than me.
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
Hey SF Ladies - rejoice! The article above specifically states "boys" which means that we ladies are smarter than "you know who" :wink02: whether we're the eldest or the baby! :flap::wink02::cheers::jammin::banana:
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
Re: Eldest do better on the IQ?
I hate articles like this...I'm supposed to buy into this theory that was tested on 241,310 Norwegian men drafted into the armed forces between 1967 and 1976. Yeah, that's a wide demographic.
Anyway, I'm the youngest of 5 kids, but all my siblings are only half-siblings. And no offense to them, but there's no way any of them are smarter than me. Hey, LLT, where did you take an IQ test at? I never really have, but have been curious as to what I'd score. The only kind of comparative test I've ever really taken was the ACT and I scored a 31 (high five for scholarship money). |
