He is currently facing a recall election on May 8, 2012. If primaries are necessary the recall will occur June 5.
Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado to Pat and Llewlyn Walker, Scott Walker first moved to Plainfield, Iowa before his settling in small town Delevan, Wisconsin in 1977. Growing up, Scott was an active Boy Scout and ultimately earned the Eagle Scout rank. Walker continues to be involved with scouting. Through the American Legion, he also went to Ripon, Wisconsin for Badger Boys State and then on Washington, D.C. for Boys Nation.[2] Walker has credited that experience with sparking his political interest.
He left Marquette University in his senior year to join the Red Cross in a marketing position. He also worked briefly for IBM while he was a student at Marquette.[2] Having never returned to finished his degree, Walker is now the first Governor of Wisconsin in over 64 years not to hold a college degree.
In 1993, Walker ran for and was elected to the State Assembly in a special election for the 14th District.[2] He was re-elected four times and served nine years as an Assembly person.[2]
Walker ran for Milwaukee County Executive in 2002 and won a special election that year after former County Executive Tom Ament resigned during a pension scandal that affected the county.[1] He was re-elected as County Executive for Wisconsin's largest county in 2004 and 2008.[2] In his 2008 re-election bid, Walker won over 57 percent of the vote.[3] Walker officially stepped down as County Executive on December 28, 2010 shortly after being elected the 45th Governor of Wisconsin.[1]
He previously ran for Governor in 2006 but ended his candidacy over fund-raising concerns. In April of 2009, he announced his second run for Governor.[4]
Walker has been married to his wife Tonnette for 17 years and have two high school age sons. The Walkers reside in Wauwatosa.[2]
- Marquette University (Attended 1986 to 1990)
- Delevan-Darien High School, 1986
- Governor of Wisconsin, 2011 - Present
- County Executive of Milwaukee, 2002 - 2010
- Member of the Wisconsin State Legislature for District 17, 1993 - 2002
Policy Positions
During four terms as a state legislator, Walker earned a reputation as a supporter of cracking down on crime and curtailing welfare programs, as well as a staunch pro-life advocate on abortion issues. His positions on the last issue was later to earn him multiple important endorsements from right to life groups during his gubernatorial run.
Walker's signature legislative work came on the Committees on Correctional Facilities, and Corrections and the Courts. While building experience in criminal justice legislature, Walker authored one bill, aimed at 'truth in sentencing' that effectively ended the practice of shaving time off prisoners' sentences for good behavior.
County Executive
First elected in a special election to replace a County Executive who had left office under the cloud of a pension fund scandal, Walker went on to win re-election twice, with 57% with 2004 and 59% in 2008.[5][6][7] While in office, Walker returned substantial portions of his own salary - half of what he earned in most years. While in office, Walker also cut payroll and debt in Milwaukee County.
Toward the end of his time as a County Executive, the collapse of a public parking garage in Milwaukee, a tragedy that killed a 14 year old boy, became a rapidly politicized campaign point. Walker's opponent and his critics in general blamed him for being part a shoddy oversight that allowed the garage to be so poorly maintained as to be unsafe for use at the time of the collapse. Walker maintained, and investigations showed, that original construction, before he joined the County Executive's office, was partly responsible.
Walker campaigned for both his party's nomination and during the general election on a program of cutting spending, reversing taxes, and reducing salary and benefits for public sector union employees.[8] He specifically promised to decline a proposed $800 million federal grant to build a rail line between Madison and Milwaukee, saying the annual upkeep would dwarf federal government aid and be too expensive to make the project worthwhile.[9] After his victory, the grant was rescinded and the money given to other states.
Collective bargaining
One of Walker's early proposals, Wisconsin Assembly Bill 11, the "Scott Walker Budget Repair Bill", is aimed at saving Wisconsin citizens money by reducing the ability of government employee unions to engage in collective bargaining. Under the plan, only emergency responders would retain that privilege. The proposal also called for unions members to make contributions to their own medical insurance and retirement savings, of 12.6% and 5.8% respectively.[10][11]
The bill was introduced into the Assembly by the Committee on Assembly Organization, at the request of Governor Walker, on February 15, 2011. It was then referred, successively, to the Joint Committee on Finance and the Joint Survey Committee on Retirement Systems. The Republican controlled Assembly and the Senate were in favor of the bill; not surprisingly, their Democratic colleagues took the opposite view. Lacking the numbers to vote the bill down, the entire Wisconsin Senate Democratic contingent simply refused to vote. Senate Republicans are one short of the 20 members needed to call a quorum and vote on spending bills, meaning the Democrats were able to halt a vote on the bill.
Governor Walker ordered Wisconsin law enforcement to find the Senators and compel them to return to the Capitol for the vote, causing the Democratic Senate delegation to decamp to a resort across the border in Rockford, Illinois.[12][13] In a February 17th press conference, Walker pressed lawmakers to return to the state and take a vote. Asked if he thought he had any legal authority to cross state lines and compel Senate Democrats to return to Madison, he told reporters, "That's a really big question for us."[14]
The response from unions became a national story; schools were closed for days as unionized teachers called in 'sick' and camped out inside the Capitol rotunda.[15] Republicans adjourned until Friday, February 18, 2011, still indicating a vote could go forward. Holding 19 seats in the Senate and requiring 20 for a vote, the GOP only needs one additional member to show up.[16][17] While the DNC, President Obama, and national union heads weighed in against Walker's plan, one local paper editorialized that Democrats needed to "get over their snits and get back to work".[18]
Union leaders and Democrats contrasted their actions as making a final stand to prevent similar bills from being introduced in other states. Both President Obama and union heads described the bill as an 'assault'.[19]
As the first week of protests ended, with Madison and Milwaukee schools having been closed three days, schools sought a temporary restraining order banning teachers from attending protests and thus forcing teachers to report to their jobs, something the courts denied on Friday, February 18th.[20] Meanwhile, union members from other states began streaming into Wisconsin to join the protests and some allies of Governor Walker reported being picketed at their own homes.[21]
Republicans did not get their vote on Friday and protests continued through the weekend and the President's Day holiday, by which time the story was an international headline and other GOP governors were fashioning versions of the bill for their own states. By this point, protests from organized labor had spread to Indiana and Ohio, with pro-union crowds thronging those state capitols.[22]
Governor Walker and his party-mates steadfastly refused to back down on cutting collective bargaining rights, with Walker telling media outlets that he was doing exactly what he had promised during his campaign. On Tuesday, February 22, 2011, Wisconsin's Assembly Speaker, Jeff Fitzgerald, who also chairs the Assembly Committee that first saw the bill, spoke publicly before beginning the day,s session; he vowed to pass the bill intact and echoed Walker's stance that Republicans were doing exactly what they has promised to do if elected.[23]
The start of the second week also brought an ultimatum from the Governor, who warned public employees that he would commence layoffs if his bill continued to be stalled.[24] With Senate Democrats still out of Walker's reach, their Assembly counterparts spent the morning session pushing for more than 100 amendments. Both the Senate and the Governor worked under heavy guard from state patrol officers with the roar of protesters audible throughout the Capitol.
Tuesday morning also brought the first indications that Senate Republicans might have found a way to end collective bargaining without Democratic cooperation. While the Wisconsin Senate must have a quorum to pass spending and fiscal bills, they could theoretically sever the collective bargaining from the spending cuts and pass the former item in its own bill. Freshman Senate Leah Vukmir indicated the idea had been considered but that the GOP was not yet sure it wanted to take that route.[25]
In effect after Supreme Court ruling
On June 14, 2011, the state Supreme Court overturned a lower court, ruling that Gov. Walker's collective bargaining law is in effect.
The ruling voids Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi's decision that the law wasn't in effect because lawmakers broke the state's open meetings law during the passage of the legislation.
"We've been saying since day one that Republicans passed the budget repair bill correctly, so frankly this isn't much of a surprise," Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald said in a joint statement. "We followed the law when the bill was passed, simple as that."
In its ruling, the state Supreme Court said because the Dane County Circuit Court "invaded the legislature's constitutional powers...under the Wisconsin Constitution" when Sumi issued a temporary restraining order preventing the law from going into effect.[26]
Dane County District Judge Maryann Sumi ruled in May 2011 that lawmakers violated Wisconsin's open meetings law in passing the collective bargaining legislation in spring 2011, and therefore, the bill would be null and void. Gov. Walker had signed the bill into law, but the ruling overruled it.
"It is not the court's duty to determine whether 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 is good public policy or bad public policy; that is the business of the legislature," according to the ruling. "It is this court's responsibility, however, to apply the rule of law to the facts before it."
Sumi ruled that lawmakers failed to give enough notice for the Joint Committee on Conference meeting held March 9, 2011, during which lawmakers settled on the final version of the collective bargaining bill. The bill requires most public union employees to contribute more to their health care and pension plans and limits their collective-bargaining powers to salary negotiations.
Legislative leaders have pledged to pass the legislation again as part of the biennial budget — and they're counting on the state Supreme Court to be the ultimate decider on this case.
"There's still a much larger separation-of-powers issue: whether one Madison judge can stand in the way of the other two democratically elected branches of government," said Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald in a statement. "The Supreme Court is going to have the ultimate ruling, and they're still scheduled to hear the issue on June 6."[27]
Commission on Waste, Fraud and Abuse
Gov. Walker called for the formation of a Commission on Waste, Fraud and Abuse. The seven-member committee assembled in January 2011 and in July 2011, it identified $266,555,737 in potential annual savings for state agencies. The commission found that if the agencies streamlined and improved current practices, the savings amount to more than $250 million.
In their report, commission members scolded state agencies for failing to control expenses the way Wisconsin residents have been forced to do in the wake of the recession.
"Wisconsin deserves a government that spends its financial resources just as carefully as the citizens of Wisconsin spend their own," said Craig Rakowski, the commission's chairman and president of James Craig Builders, in the report. "Everyone has been forced to take a closer look at how they spend their money. Our state government should be no different."[28]
Voter ID
In the summer of 2011, Wisconsin voters faced unique slate of recall elections which served to provide voters with a test run of needing to show photo identification when they arrived to vote at the polls. This all depended on a mid-May vote in the Senate and Gov. Walker's signature. The primary elections in spring 2012 would be the first voter ID primaries.
The Government Accountability Board, the state's elections agency, began preparing to train local clerks and poll workers before the Senate vote.
GAB spokesman Reid Magney said the agency could try a "soft implementation" of voter ID during recall elections for nine Wisconsin state senators, slated for July 12 or Aug. 9, if a primary is required. Recall voters will be asked, but not required, to provide ID and will receive literature explaining the new requirements.
"We've begun the planning process for implementation, but at this point I think it's too early to say that we'll have it done by a certain day," Magney said.
The State Assembly last week passed the voter ID proposal, AB 7, by a mostly party-line vote of 60 to 35, with all Republicans and a few Democrats in support.
State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said the proposal will protect the integrity of elections.
"I think that there's enough isolated incidents over the years that anyone who casts a vote has to have the full faith in the idea that their vote counts and it's not going to be canceled out by some other person in another part of the state involved in some shenanigans," he said.[29]
Budget bill, 2011
The legislative process for creating and passing the budget the state budget included protestors and a lot of national attention. Late on June 16, 2011, the state Senate passed Gov. Scott Walker's $66 billion budget on a party-line 19-14 vote after nine hours of debate.
The 2011 legislative session was sharply divided between Republican and Democratic lawmakers on nearly all of Walker's proposed legislation. The earlier protests included two protesters who chained themselves to railings in the Senate chamber's viewing gallery.
Once Gov. Walker signs the budget into law, it will take effect July 1.
One protester began shouting from the Senate chamber's viewing gallery as Senate President Michael Ellis called for a vote. "I want my democracy back!" she screamed.
Republicans accused Democrats of being short-sighted and resisting measures that could bring jobs to Wisconsin, ultimately benefiting the state.
"You want to talk values? Let's talk values," said state Sen. Alberta Darling. "Frugality...having a job...that's the mission we have."
Democrats accused Republicans of ignoring the needs of children by slashing funding for education while introducing tax breaks for businesses, and of targeting low-income residents while refusing to raise taxes on the wealthy.
"It's an abandonment of our responsibility as officials to make sure that each citizen has the same opportunities," said state Sen. Robert Jauch.[30]

A recall election of Walker will take place on May 8, 2012. If primaries are necessary, the general election will take place on June 5.
Talk of an attempt to recall Walker for his role in the passage of the Budget Repair Bill began in February 2011, about a month after he took office. However, under Wisconsin law an elected official has to be in office for one year before they can be recalled. Although Walker was safe, nine state Senators faced recall elections, which ultimately led to two incumbent Republicans being removed from office.
On October 10, 2011, Wisconsin state Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate announced that they, in conjunction with United Wisconsin, would officially begin the recall campaign against Walker on November 15. In order to put a recall on the ballot, they had to collect 540,208 valid signatures in 60 days.[31] On March 30, 2012, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board officially certified just over 900,000 signatures and scheduled the recall.[32]
Walker faced Tom Barrett (D), James James (Common Sense), and Jim Langer (I) in the general election on November 2, 2010. Walker won the election with 52% of the vote. In the primaries, Walker easily defeated two GOP challengers. His general election battle with Tom Barrett was one of the most acrimonious of the 2010 cycle, becoming more fraught as Walker's poll number improved.
His win was part of a midterm election night that overall favored Republicans. Aside from the governorship, Republicans gains in Wisconsin on Election Night 2010 included picking up both chambers of the state legislature.
Scott Walker won election to a third term as Milwaukee County Executive against State Senator Lena Taylor on April 1, 2008.[33]

All eyes will be on Samardzija as he makes A's debut
Starter will face Jays for first time in career, opposed by Hutchison
All eyes will be on Jeff Samardzija on Sunday when he makes his first start as a member of the Oakland A's. Samardzija joined the green and gold Saturday, when Oakland officially announced its blockbuster trade with the Cubs.
Along with Jason Hammel, Samardzija will look to put the American League West leaders over the top. The right-hander will introduce himself to the Coliseum crowd in Sunday's four-game series finale against the Blue Jays.
"I'm right where I need to be, man," Samardzija said Saturday, when he joined the team in Oakland. "I've been begging for this for a while, situation-wise, of coming in every day to win games."
The A's ranked second in the Majors in ERA at 3.18 entering Saturday, but general manager Billy Beane still felt his pitching staff would benefit from added depth.
"This was an area a few weeks ago we absolutely felt like we had to address," Beane said Saturday morning. "Really started the process of trying to find at least one guy and ultimately decided we needed two guys … We thought they were two of the best guys available."
Samardzija is having an All-Star-caliber season, despite having just two wins to his name. His ERA is 2.83, and he has fanned 103 batters while walking just 31. The 29-year-old right-hander has spent the first six-plus years of his career with the Cubs, meaning Sunday will mark his first time pitching for an American League team.
In 15 Interleague appearances (nine starts), Samardzija is 2-6 with a 4.61 ERA. He has never faced the Blue Jays.
Samardzija will be a tough assignment for the Jays. Their offense is sputtering of late, and they have won just two of their last nine series.
Right-hander Drew Hutchison will get the ball for Toronto on the heels of one of his best starts of 2014. Hutchinson held the Brewers -- the second-leading offense in the National League -- to one run over seven innings on Tuesday, notching a career-high 10 strikeouts.
Like Samardzija, Hutchison will be seeing his opponent for the first time Sunday.
Blue Jays: Encarnacion leaves Saturday's game with quad soreness
Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion exited Saturday's game in the first inning with right quadricep soreness.
Encarnacion went down after beating out a potential double-play ball that brought home Toronto's first run. He remained on the ground for several minutes before being helped off the field.
Adam Lind replaced Encarnacion -- who was credited with his 70th RBI -- at first base.
A's: Milone sent down to make room for Samardzija
Left-hander started Tommy Milone became a victim of numbers Saturday in the wake of Oakland's blockbuster trade with the Cubs, getting optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room on the 25-man roster for Samardzija.
A number of factors were working against Milone after the trade, including the Athletics' desire for bullpen depth after a 12-inning contest, coupled with the fact that Milone would not be available to pitch again for several days. Brad Mills, who will be replaced by Samardzija in the rotation Sunday, gave the A's an eighth bullpen option Saturday.
Milone has been fantastic since May 9, going 6-0 with a 2.62 ERA in 11 starts. Manager Bob Melvin struggled to find the right words to break the news to his southpaw.
"If you're in my position, what do you even say to a guy like that?" Melvin said. "He was a little bit shocked, and understandably so. But you haven't seen the last of Tommy Milone here."
Worth Noting:
• Josh Donaldson, Yoenis Cespedes and Derek Norris were all in line to start the All-Star Game in advance of Sunday's roster announcement. The A's have not had a fan-elected player since 2000.
• Encarnacion leads the Majors with 49 extra-base hits, ahead of the Angels' Mike Trout (48 entering Saturday).

Jake banged his head hard when he was tackled, and he felt kind of weird afterward. He thought it was just another hit that he could shake off — and he wanted to stay on the field. After the game, though, he felt pretty sick. Should Jake have kept on playing?
Definitely not. Jake may have had a concussion, and it was actually a bad idea for him to stay in the game.
The brain is made of soft tissue and is cushioned by spinal fluid. It is encased in the hard, protective skull. When a person gets a head injury, the brain can move around inside the skull and even bang against it. This can lead to bruising of the brain, tearing of blood vessels, and injury to the nerves. When this happens, a person can get a concussion — a temporary loss of normal brain function.
Most people with concussions recover just fine with appropriate treatment. But it's important to take proper steps if you suspect a concussion because it can be serious.
Concussions and other brain injuries are fairly common. About every 21 seconds, someone in the United States has a serious brain injury. One of the most common reasons people get concussions is through a sports injury. High-contact sports such as football, boxing, and hockey pose a higher risk of head injury, even with the use of protective headgear.
People can also get concussions from falls, car accidents, bike and blading mishaps, and physical violence, such as fighting. Guys are more likely to get concussions than girls. However, in certain sports, like soccer, girls have a higher potential for concussion.
The signs of concussion are not always well recognized. And because of that, teens may put themselves at risk for another injury. For example, players may return to a game before they should, or a skateboarder may get back on the board and continue skating, thinking nothing's wrong. That's a problem, because if the brain hasn't healed properly from a concussion and someone gets another brain injury (even if it's with less force), it can be serious.
Repeated injury to the brain can lead to swelling, and sometimes people develop long-term disabilities, or even die, as a result of serious head injuries. So it's really important to recognize and understand the signals of a concussion.
Although we may think of a concussion as someone passing out, a person can have a concussion and never lose consciousness.
Symptoms of a concussion may include:
The severity of concussion is determined after all of the symptoms have resolved, the neurologic exam is normal, and brain function has returned to normal. There are different types of concussion:
A player should not return to sports practice or a game on the day that they are injured and they should not return to sports activities until they are no longer experiencing symptoms. In many teens the physical symptoms get better before the symptoms related to thinking.
During the first few days following a concussion, a player should rest. Both physical and cognitive rest are important. Activities that require concentration and attention may make the symptoms worse and delay recovery.
After a player's symptoms have resolved, he or she may begin a supervised gradual return to play. The player should advance from one step to the next only if there are no symptoms. The steps to return to play are:
It's important for anyone who sustains a complex concussion to see a concussion or brain injury specialist.
What should you do if a friend or teammate has a concussion? Tell an adult or coach immediately. Even if the concussion seems mild, the player should sit out for the rest of the game.
If the symptoms are severe (such as seizures or a long period of unconsciousness) or the person seems to be getting worse, that's an indication of a serious head injury. Get medical help right away.
If a doctor suspects that someone may have a concussion, he or she will ask about the head injury (such as how it happened and when) and the symptoms. The doctor may ask what seem like silly questions — things like "Who are you?" or "Where are you?" or "What day is it?" and "Who is the President?" Doctors ask these questions to check the person's level of consciousness and memory and concentration abilities.
The doctor will perform a thorough examination of the nervous system, including testing balance, coordination of movement, and reflexes. He or she may test memory, thinking, concentration, and reaction time — all of which might be impaired after a concussion. Sometimes a doctor will order a CT scan (a special brain X-ray) or an MRI (a special non-X-ray brain image) to rule out bleeding or other serious injury involving the brain.
If a person's symptoms last longer than a week, the doctor will likely recommend further testing of thinking, memory, reaction time, and other brain functions.
If the concussion isn't serious enough to require hospitalization, the doctor will give instructions on what to do at home, like having someone wake the person up at least once during the night. If a person with a concussion cannot be easily awakened, becomes increasingly confused, or has other symptoms such as vomiting, it may mean there is a more severe problem that requires contacting the doctor again.
The doctor will recommend rest. It is important to get physical rest and avoid physical exertion and playing sports. It is also important to avoid loud, bright, busy environments. People who are getting over a concussion should also avoid activities that require lots of thinking and concentration, so a doctor may recommend that the person stay home from school or work.
The doctor will probably recommend that someone with a concussion take acetaminophen or other aspirin-free medications for headaches. If the symptoms last longer than a week, the doctor will likely recommend further testing of the person's thinking, memory, reaction time, and processing speed. This is done by performing a neuropsychological evaluation.
After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal. It's really important to wait until all symptoms of a concussion have cleared up before returning to normal activities. The amount of time someone needs to recover depends on how long the symptoms last. Healthy teens can usually resume their normal activities within a few weeks, but each situation is different. A doctor will monitor the person closely to make sure everything's OK. Once the symptoms of a concussion have resolved, an athlete may begin a supervised gradual return to play.
Someone who has had a concussion and has not recovered within a few months is said to have post-concussion syndrome. The person may have the same problems described earlier — such as poor memory, headaches, dizziness, and irritability — but these will last for longer periods of time and may even be permanent.
Someone who has continuing problems after a concussion might be referred by the doctor to a rehabilitation specialist for additional help.
Some accidents can't be avoided. But you can do a lot to prevent a concussion by taking simple precautions:
It's vital to take good care of yourself after a concussion. If you injure your brain during the time it is still healing, it will take even more time to completely heal. Each time a person has a concussion, it does additional damage — and since it's damage no one can see on the outside, there's no way of knowing how serious it might be. If someone has multiple concussions over a period of time, it can affect the person's brain as much as being knocked unconscious for several hours.
Preventing concussions is mostly common sense. The best thing you can do to protect your head is to use it.

Electronic System-Level (ESL) Design
Keysight provides the most accurate communications system design tools which accelerate PHY development and verification time by reducing cross domain iterations. With Keysight, you'll be able bring real-world effects higher in the design validation process.
ESL Design Challenges
- Analog/RF and baseband/DSP/embedded teams often work in relative isolation in the design or HW validation phases, increasing the risk of time consuming and expensive iterations.
- Traditional single domain "point tools" have poor to no interaction with the real world and rely on mathematical models to capture real-world effects.
- Validating hardware after systems achieve hardware integration may mask critical design flaws and require complicated physical test benches for verification of final designs.

Bosnia and Herzegovina
GeographyBosnia and Herzegovina make up a triangular-shaped republic, about half the size of Kentucky, on the Balkan peninsula. The Bosnian region in the north is mountainous and covered with thick forests. The Herzegovina region in the south is largely rugged, flat farmland. It has a narrow coastline without natural harbors stretching 13 mi (20 km) along the Adriatic Sea. GovernmentEmerging democracy, with a rotating, tripartite presidency divided between predominantly Serb, Croatian, and Bosnian political parties. HistoryCalled Illyricum in ancient times, the area now called Bosnia and Herzegovina was conquered by the Romans in the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. and folded into the Roman province of Dalmatia. In the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. , Goths overran that portion of the declining Roman Empire and occupied the area until the 6th century, when the Byzantine Empire claimed it. Slavs began settling the region during the 7th century. Around 1200, Bosnia won independence from Hungary and endured as an independent Christian state for some 260 years. The expansion of the Ottoman Empire into the Balkans introduced another cultural, political, and religious framework. The Turks defeated the Serbs at the famous battle of Kosovo in 1389. They conquered Bosnia in 1463. During the roughly 450 years Bosnia and Herzegovina were under Ottoman rule, many Christian Slavs became Muslim. A Bosnian Islamic elite gradually developed and ruled the country on behalf of the Turkish overlords. As the borders of the Ottoman Empire began to shrink in the 19th century, Muslims from elsewhere in the Balkans migrated to Bosnia. Bosnia also developed a sizable Jewish population, with many Jews settling in Sarajevo after their expulsion from Spain in 1492. However, through the 19th century the term Bosnian commonly included residents of all faiths. A relatively secular society, intermarriage among religious groups was not uncommon. Neighboring Serbia and Montenegro fought against the Ottoman Empire in 1876 and were aided by the Russians, their fellow Slavs. At the Congress of Berlin in 1878, following the end of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), Austria-Hungary was given a mandate to occupy and govern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in an effort by Europe to ensure that Russia did not dominate the Balkans. Although the provinces were still officially part of the Ottoman Empire, they were annexed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire on Oct. 7, 1908. As a result, relations with Serbia, which had claims on Bosnia and Herzegovina, became embittered. The hostility between the two countries climaxed in the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, by a Serbian nationalist. This event precipitated the start of World War I (1914–1918). Bosnia and Herzegovina were annexed to Serbia as part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes on Oct. 26, 1918. The name was later changed to Yugoslavia in 1929. When Germany invaded Yugoslavia in 1941, Bosnia and Herzegovina were made part of Nazi-controlled Croatia. During the German and Italian occupation, Bosnian and Herzegovinian resistance fighters fought a fierce guerrilla war against the Ustachi, the Croatian Fascist troops. At the end of World War II, Bosnia and Herzegovina were reunited into a single state as one of the six republics of the newly reestablished Communist Yugoslavia under Marshall Tito. His authoritarian control kept the ethnic enmity of his patchwork nation in check. Tito died in 1980, and with growing economic dissatisfaction and the fall of the iron curtain over the next decade, Yugoslavia began to splinter. In Dec. 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia and asked for recognition by the European Union (EU). In a March 1992 referendum, Bosnian voters chose independence, and President Alija Izetbegovic declared the nation an independent state. Unlike the other former Yugoslav states, which were generally composed of a dominant ethnic group, Bosnia was an ethnic tangle of Muslims (44%), Serbs (31%), and Croats (17%), and this mix contributed to the duration and savagery of its fight for independence.

JdivaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThe Best!I agree with another viewer, this is the best dryer attachment ever!!! I have purchased so many dryer comb attachments. I can't tell you how many strands of hair that were lost as a result of hard comb attachments that would break and damage my hair. Not this one!!! I purchased my dryer because this attachment specifically says it "Fits all Solano dryers (except Original and Ultralite models)", so I ensured that I purchased a dryer that would fit. I could tell it was well made, WoW am I super happy I went on my instincts & ordered this item!! Again, its well made and the combs are sturdy, but not hard (if you know what I mean). There are no sharp ends to dig in your scalp and what you get is a head of beautiful, dry, healthy, straight hair. I totally enjoy it!
From reading another customer's review, it works on other brands as well. Personally, I did not want to take any chances so I ordered the models it specifically states it fits, but I guess if it doesn't work you could always simply send it back. :)posted Aug 9, 2012Link to this post -
GisselleNYCHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairWorks Really GreatI purchased this for my Sedu Revolution Pro 3600i Lightweight Ionic Styling Hair Dryer and it matches it perfectly. It isn't a cheap comb attachment and helps dry my hair quicker. Couldn't be happier with this attachment.posted Jul 23, 2012Link to this post
Legally NaturalHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBest Dryer Attachment PeriodI have used so many comb dryer attachments and this is the best one!!! It works so well and it is not coming off once on. I have the Super Solano. I know this doesn't work on every model.

ConstanceHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNiceThis is a great dryer and if you get the comb attachment it is great for natural hair. The only down side is that it is pretty heavy but hey you might like a work out while you get your hair done. I think that over time it will not be as heavy, once i get used to it. However the results are nice!posted Apr 18, 2012Link to this post

ChristineHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThis Is The Best Blow Dryer Attachment Ever TriedI been using cheap beauty supply store universal attachments to dry my hair. They usually break, don't fit, if they do fit they constantly fall off. My favorite thing about this blow drier attachment is its durability. The teeth are flexible and strong enough to not break, the teeth probably will never break off unless bent beyond what is necessary.
The attachment help me cut my drier time in down by at least %65 because of its narrow opening makes the heat more concentrated which also really helps in straightening the ends of my very very curly hair. It locking feature allows the attachment to stay on tight onto the dry. It has improved the capability of my professional dry by so much, very happy.posted Aug 11, 2011Link to this post -
HeysashHairDark BrownChemically Treated HairSurprisingly Works WellI've been buying other manufacturer "universal" comb attachments for my Solano for 4 yrs at $6.99...yes stupid. It didn't occur to me until recently that they may make one specifically for the hair dryer. The "universal" ones always popped off and broke as they are made of plastic. The Solano attachment is made of rubber, which you tighten onto the dryer. It's like night and day! It's flown off once or twice (locking mechanism not perfect) but it's a major improvement and more importantly when it goes flying across the room it doesn't break.posted Jul 6, 2011Link to this post

While X has its deficiencies, about zero of those affect me. Similarly, I would gain nothing by a move to Wayland.
I still don't understand how we haven't reached something like x15 by now. considering the immense changes in X even within the past 5 years, I highly doubt the very first release of x11 can operate modern desktop environments or GPUs within 10 years old. compatibility must have broken well over a decade ago yet they keep using the same name. at this point, going to x12 seems like it won't break compatibility any more or less than another major release of x11. where do they draw the line between what makes a new version and what doesn't? the Linux kernel was the same way, but that's a topic for another day.

Any idea when the search is going to be improved on PTS-Global?
Phoronix: Bam! Phoromatic 1.0 Unleashed & Ubuntu Joins The Party
Phoromatic, our remote test management system that makes it incredibly simple to deploy the Phoronix Test Suite across an array of systems within an organization or around the world, has been in development for more than a year. We publicly announced this unique enterprise solution when developing Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 and it publicly went into beta with Phoronix Test Suite 2.2 where it became possible to easily build a benchmarking test farm using our Phoronix software. Before ending out the year we launched Phoromatic Tracker with an initial reference implementation to monitor the Linux kernel performance on a daily basis and in a fully automated manner. Phoromatic has been a huge success, but today we are announcing that Phoromatic has reached a 1.0 status and additionally we are providing the Ubuntu Linux community with a new performance tracker in collaboration with Canonical.
Any idea when the search is going to be improved on PTS-Global?
As soon as PTS Global is opensource and somebody skilled does it I would really like to run my personal server to submit private test data and i do not like to use phoromatic for that.
Nice! I think this tracker will be useful.
On the other hand I think there should be another tracker to monitor Mesa. I would be particularly interested in radeon performance.
[Yes, I know this mostly depends on money.]
Michael: Will there be a feature to automatically bisect regressions/improvements? I remember reading that this is already possible, but will this be added to the kernel tracker? E.g.: regressions are already marked on the graphs, so when one clicks on it one should get redirected to the actual commit. Thus everyone would immediately know who to blame. :P
That would be awesome.
That is possible, but requires customization for each and every software that is being tracked. Also note that this is in support of the project, and so Michael and I are more than interested in talking to project teams to get something going for that project.
If the project isn't interested, but people are able to commit a machine for testing, we can look at supporting individual projects on Phoromatic with the Systems Under Test being hosted by interested individuals or interested projects.

Love this
Yes it's a bold pattern and no it's not for every body type... but I really did like it on me. (My boyfriend didn't, but what does he know? LOL) I have a tummy and in clothes that makes me look like I have no hips (not able to pull the drawstring in enough to look smaller in the waist), so I'm going to have to pair it with a wide belt (which I do all the time), to give me an hourglass shape. Don't have anywhere to wear it but I like it anyway! Why not? It's on sale!
April 1, 2013
Wanted to love it.....
.....but it just did not fit quite right. I constantly become frustrated at dresses and jumpsuits being so high-waisted - either I have a very long torso, or the high-waist is everywhere. I prefer to wear things lower slung on my hips, to balance me out, and give the illusion of a more defined waist, but this was way too high up, and made me look thicker that I am. Unless you have a super hourglass figure already, or are very thin, might not be the best look. Love the colors, and the material is very comfortable, but i have to agree with the previous reviewer - the trompe l'oeil effect looks kind of silly, especially in the rear area. Too bad, going back.
March 14, 2013
You need a waist. Or something.
I'm 5'9" and 136#, so I should be able to pull this thing off, right? But I'm kind of cylindrical: no hips, no waist, and this just emphasized my relatively thick middle. Also, you can't tell in the image, but the "flap" on the front bodice is actually printed into the material. The trompe l'oeil effect looked a little dorky in my estimation. Oh well: I wanted to try the jumpsuit thing, and once and for all, I realize this look is just not for me.
March 2, 2013
I am so excited I ordered this piece. I love jumpsuits for travel,no thinking about putting an outfit together. I have a retreat coming up in April and this piece is casual enough for the event yet also dressy enough for the service following. am short,5'3 so the length needs to be taken in a tad but no biggie. The legs are flowy,the material soft and the colors are bold and bright. Easily can dress up with a blazer or jacket.
March 1, 2013
Return To 70s
I ordered this item as soon as it came out after calling all of my local Limited stores and finding out it was being carried online only. Because of its style and material I took a chance and ordered one size lower and I'm glad I did. It's fit was great and the colors were terrific! I paired with a Limited blazer from 2 years ago whose blue shade matched, perfectly! I received so many compliments on this jumpsuit. It is right on trend and rivals many of those on the spring runways. I look forward to wearing it without the blazer when the weather warms up. I tried it with a different belt, but the jersey belt looks best and gives it that 70s vibe. This is a great piece if you enjoy trendy and comfort!
February 15, 2013
So Chic
This item was a bit of a surprise for me. I've steered clear of the jumpsuit trend but couldn't resist this abstract print. It's so flattering the way the print is designed, with it drawing the eye perfectly away from flaws while on the body. Soft, comfortable material and great colors. Slimming fit which I didn't expect. So glad I took a chance on this one. I feel ultra chic in it and can't wait for the warmer weather to show it off!
February 7, 2013
Love love love the nautical stripes on the jumpsuit! It's so flattering on my figure. Looking forward to wearing on my girls trip to Miami!!!!

About this font family
Chennai's market-tested type styles have taken new form once again. The geometric forms of Chennai and its derivant Madurai, both successful in web-based applications and logotypes, have now been adapted for the superfamily Madurai Slab, a potent, square slab serif ideal for headlines and posters.
Under the surface of Madurai Slab's straightforward geometric structure, the font's exaggerated vertical serifs provide the face with an extra chunk that commands the reader's attention and gives the font more impact in its heavier styles. The extra-fortified forms are anything but monotonous, though. The bolder structure of the slab is instead rational, diligently thought-out, with minimally contrasting strokes, making the sturdier look particularly legible in shorter textual content blocks.

How can I order a replacement glass bowl covering for this fan? Mine knocked off and broke.
I've had this fan up for about a year now and its just fantastic. Its quiet, even when on super high speed. Looks great on and off. The light is super bright with a dimmer. We needed a larger fan for our room, so this one looks modern and fits into our somewhat traditional style. It comes with a remote control with a holder you attach to the wall. I do remember 2 things that stand out about installing it. It was a little bit of a challenge to put it together. I've put many together and this one was a bit harder than most. The other thing is there are so many wires because of the remote control that you need to fit under the cover of the ceiling mount. It took several tries and some arguing with my husband to get it to fit. Luckily were still married after that one! We laughed about it afterwards and stated that we are never taking it down...lol. It will take 2 people to get it on. Like I said, beautiful fan and makes a statement in the room.

gorgeous ceiling fan I love this ceiling fan - it is very stylish as well as very well made. It is not like any typical ceiling fan - and is sophisticated in its mechanics and movement. I could not find anything similar in stores unless I were to pay a lot more.

Fantastic Design We absolutely love the design of this fan. Our only complaint, is the directions. The installation manual was worse than one you'd get from Ikea to put furniture together. There are skipped steps, bunched together steps, and the illustrations are almost useless. It made for very slow going when it came to installing it. But once we got it up, we couldn't be happier. It's dead quiet, and can really move some air. It really helps bring the living room together.

How to Install a Ceiling Fan
Installing a ceiling fan is an excellent way to add beauty and comfort to your home-lighting design. Whether you are replacing an old ceiling fan with a new one or replacing a light fixture with a lighted ceiling fan, it's a job you can do yourself. Read the following instructions carefully and always refer to the ceiling fan manufacturer's instructions for installation.
How to Install a Ceiling Fan in Your Bathroom
Unlike the ceiling fan in your living room that circulates the air with rotating paddles, a bathroom fan features a motorized unit that vents stuffy bathroom air out of the room. A bathroom fan may be an individual unit, or you may purchase a unit that combines bathroom lighting and a fan. If you're installing a new bathroom fan or just replacing the old fan light, here are a few steps to help you get it done right.
Ceiling Fan Buying Guide
When it's hot outside, it can get downright uncomfortable inside your home. A simple breeze created by a ceiling fan is the solution for cool, natural comfort. They can be energy-efficient alternatives to the high costs involved in operating your other cooling systems for hours on end, and they provide instant relief because you can feel the breeze they create. This ceiling fan buying guide explains your options, so you can find the right one for your home.
How to Buy a Ceiling Fan
With its low electrical cost, a ceiling fan is a very efficient cooling solution for the home. Indoor ceiling fans use about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb and can greatly reduce your home cooling expenses. The cooling effects of a ceiling fan not only save you money but let you keep your windows open longer, allowing more fresh air into your home. A ceiling fan can also be used, if it has a reverse mode, to help defray heating costs in the winter. With all of these benefits, there's no reason not to find the best ceiling fans for every room in your home. Read on for suggestions that will help you buy ceiling fans for your home.
Why You Need a Ceiling Fan
The heat of summer is something you can look forward to, something you can dread or something you can learn to love -- but it's not something you can easily avoid. Ceiling fans are a throwback to lazy days, and the comfort a good ceiling fan provides can be depended on in any climate. Whether you're a lover or a hater of hot weather, or you simply dislike stagnant air, read on to find out why you need a ceiling fan.
How to Change the Look of Your Ceiling Fan
Whether your ceiling fan is outdated or just too plain for your home, you can easily make changes to it that will give it new life. To avoid switching out your entire ceiling fan fixture, focus on changing the look of the blades or the light covers. Here are a few tips for giving your ceiling fan a facelift.
Buying Ceiling Fans for Your Living Room
Keep the air fresh throughout your home when you buy ceiling fans for your living room. Whether you want lighted ceiling fan styles for easy elegance or remote ceiling fans for convenience, these suggestions can help you buy ceiling fans that complement your home and provide adequate air flow throughout the years. Read on for tips on buying ceiling fans for your living room.
Buying Fans for your Family Room

No matter which style you like best, you can buy ceiling fans that fit the size and decor of your room. Read on for tips on buying fans for your family room.
How to Choose a Ceiling Medallion
A ceiling medallion brings instant drama to a room. Ceiling medallions were once quite common in homes, and they have come back into favor. Typically, ceiling medallions are used to support ceiling fans and light fixtures, but most homeowners select them for their decorative value. When choosing a medallion, your architectural design, interior design theme and the type of ceiling light you select all play a part.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place. Whether you want kitchen ceiling lights to save space or kitchen pendant lights that add a bit of color and style to the room, the following tips will help you to find kitchen lighting that works well in your home. Read on for tips on buying light fixtures for your kitchen.
How to Install Recessed Lighting above a Shower
Adding a recessed light above the shower provides welcome illumination while showering. Recessed bathroom lighting is perfect for the ceiling above the shower because it does not take up any space over head. A special moisture-resistant bathroom light fixture is required in the shower because the area is subject to so much moisture and humidity. You may replace an existing light fixture or install a new fixture after an electrician runs the necessary wiring. Choose a simple recessed light or select a light-and-heat-lamp combination or a light-and-fan combination.
How to Install Recessed Lighting in Kitchens
Recessed lighting enhances your kitchen design with additional light. When used along with other lighting and ceiling fans, recessed lighting adds another dimension of light to a room where you can use as much light as you can get while you chop vegetables or check to see if your roast is cooking perfectly. Although it's not difficult to install recessed lighting in the kitchen, you will need access to the attic over the kitchen in order to install and wire the lights with ease. Here are a few simple steps to install your own recessed kitchen lights.
Lighting Buying Guide
The right lighting and ceiling fans are not only more efficient and cost effective, but they also accentuate the personal style of your home. This lighting buying guide is designed to assist you in choosing the right fixtures to furnish your home.
How to Choose Kitchen Lighting
It is easy to overlook the importance of lighting when decorating your kitchen. You spend all that time picking out the best cabinets and appliances and then stick with the same flickering fluorescent fixture that came with the house. Kitchen lighting and ceiling fans can do more than just illuminate your kitchen; they can also decorate as well as accent the best parts of your kitchen design.
Best Bedroom Lighting Ideas
Decor trends come and go, but your bedroom lighting should transcend the look-of-the-moment to suit your bedroom's various functions. When planning bedroom lighting design, consider the space's natural lighting first, and then determine which parts of the room benefit most from general lighting, task lighting, accent lighting and ceiling fans.
How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling
Hanging a curtain rod from the ceiling is an innovative and simple way to add drama to any room. This method can make ceilings appear higher, add interest to otherwise boring windows or act as a room divider with the right curtains. Whether you want a double curtain rod for hanging layered curtains, a wooden curtain rod for a rustic vibe or an iron curtain rod for a traditional look, the following suggestions will help you install the right rod and hardware.
Tips on Using Fans
Indoor climate control is important wherever you live, and fans can help you maintain the optimum temperature in your home or office. There are many types of fans available, so be sure to pick the best one for you. To keep your home or office cool and your fan working properly, follow these tips on using and caring for your fans.
How to Decorate With Paper Lanterns
Whether you prefer the cool sophistication of track lighting and ceiling fans or the eclectic, bohemian approach of handcrafted lamps and lighting, lighting design sets the tone and vibe of your home decor. With the wide diversity of home lighting styles available it can be challenging to choose which style you like the most. Paper lanterns, with all their many colors, patterns and sizes, offer a versatile choice for any room in your home. Decorating with paper lanterns adds form and function to your space. Check out the following ideas to create the perfect mood with paper lantern lighting in your home.
How to Clean a Computer Fan
Heat is your computer's number one enemy, which is why it has one or more fans to help push hot air out of the computer case and pull cool air in. Computer cooling fans are typically installed next to vents on your computer case, but your computer's processor may have its own fans and heatsinks, which sit on top of the processor chip. Dust and dirt then collect around the blades of each computer fan and may eventually cause the CPU fan to break or slow down. If any one of the computer fans breaks or slows down, heat builds up and may damage the processor or other components in the process. To protect your computer, follow these simple steps for keeping your cooling fans clean.
