But, what is the record of such policies, including now in Iraq?

ITC Founder's Caslon™
- Designer: Justin Howes
- Design foundry: ITC
- Source: ITC
Surviving 270 years of typographic trends, technology changes and font fads, Caslon has earned its title of the oldest living typeface. Faces like Garamond or Jenson predate Caslon, but all that is available today are replications of these early designs. Caslon is a different story. The original punches, hand-cut by William Caslon, are still intact and could be used to produce new matrices and fonts that are identical to those used to set type in the early 18th century.
ITC Founder's Caslon History
Not only is Caslon old, it also has staying power. Caslon has been the typeface of choice among printers and typographers for most of its history. It has been used to set nearly every form of printed material: from fine books, to high-pressure advertising, to the most mundane ephemera. Caslon has even been the choice of celebrities. It was the favorite typeface of Benjamin Franklin and was used to set both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. George Bernhard Shaw, the famous British author and playwright, also insisted that all his work be typeset in Caslon.
ITC Founder's Caslon was released in the fall of 1998, as a revival of the Caslon typestyle. Drawn by English typographer and printing scholar, Justin Howes, this design is a thoughtful replication of William Caslon's types. Howes took each size of the original Caslon on its own merits, and digitized it separately, keeping the design's peculiarities and reproducing it the way it appeared on the printed page of an 18th century document. Out of Caslon's wide range of sizes and designs, Howes narrowed his family to four fonts: the 12, 30 , 42 and 96-point sizes. (The latter called "Poster.") This series differs from other digital Caslon "families" in that there is no real variety of weight but, according to Howes, "a difference of texture."
In his work, Howes created a scale of smoothness as well as size. Founder's Caslon Twelve, which is taken from printed text type, has noticeably uneven edges, and more irregularities of form than the larger sizes. ITC Founder's Caslon becomes progressively "cleaner" as the point sizes get larger from the comparatively rugged 12-point, to the sharper – but still displaying the friendly imperfections of antique type – 96-point.
The results? ITC Founder's Caslon has the warmth and personality of 18th century printing. Howes has delved into the English past and brought that charm back, ready to be deployed in the service of modern goals.

HERE's further evidence that the Rev. Pat Robertson is a national treasure:Appearing on �The 700 Club� Thursday, television preacher and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson assured his viewers that gay people are not really gay, they�re just confused due to �chromosomal damage� they suffered as children, and urged his LGBT viewers to �come out� as straight people.
�I am very pleased that we have many, many, many homosexuals watching this program and many of them are looking for love and acceptance and help,� Robertson said., �And I�m glad to report that we have thousands of these people ...

Card? All I see is a perfectly manicured thumbnail!
Give it to the cardholder who kept his promise and started the most threads, or posted the most......that's a reward card
Secretary of Crackwood Addiction
Call it "The Golden Ticket" and award it to.... somebody?
I already made the 55th card for my avatar!!! LOL
Perhaps an artifact for the PRS Time Capsule, if there is one, or if one is ever created. 'This is how it began' sort of thing. 'This was the precursor to permanent Forum Member ID Laminates'. After all, employees have their ID cards, why not us?
Part of the history of the forum and the first wave of members. Someday we'll all be considered oldtimers, instead of just some of us (like me for example).

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Thank you. My thinking for the permanent laminates/ID cards for PRS Forum members is twofold.
For one thing, there are some of us who may never make it to PRS EXP, so this would help ease that pain a little. Whether it's because of finances, or location, other responsibilities, whatever, it just may not be possible for some to get there even once. (I've never been myself, but hopefully this is my year.)
Also, I think of PRS as being different (IMO better) in every way from other makers. So, this would be a way in which the forum would be different and better too. PRS is special, from the absolute top-of-the-heap Private Stock instruments, right down to their forum. Every element should stand out.

Actually, the card needs to be sent to the PTC..it's a bit damaged on the lower bout, and needs a repair and refinish.

The AMD 8.39 driver is now out w/ Fedora 7 support! Other than that, there isn't anything too exciting, but check out the Phoronix article for more information:
http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10569Last month was an interesting time for AMD and their ATI Linux display driver. The Radeon HD 2400 and 2600 series were introduced, but as we have unfortunately come to expect, there was not a supported R600 driver that day or even that month. In fact, there still is no Linux driver to support any graphics card in the R600 series. Though making the month unique were two display drivers being released in the same week. The 8.38.6 driver had introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 support as well as some minor fixes, but nothing to spark interest in the minds of end-users. The second Linux driver released, 8.38.7, had come down the pipeline as a hot-fix release to correct a bug where aticonfig would crash and remove your xorg.conf. Moving forward to the 8.39.4 driver released today, we still have no AIGLX or R600 support, but we do have Fedora 7 support!
Release Notes: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...ux_8.39.4.html
( This driver has been dubbed the "8.35 no longer does it better" edition as it corrects TexturedVideo with glesx.so. You can guess the unofficial name for the fglrx 8.40 driver next month in this thread http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3511 )
Another masterpiece from AMD, at least now they admit it is for testing only.
This driver comes with a nice logo that overlays all windows on my system.
AMD- Testing use only.
I guess they uploaded the beta version.
Any ideas how to get rid of that logo, besides downloading the driver again in a couple of days.
it goes away when you identify displays via amdcccle. but only for a couple of seconds.Any ideas how to get rid of that logo, besides downloading the driver again in a couple of days.
what about those xbm override files in /etc ? i'm actually considering hex-editor rampage on the driver files :]
so far 8.35 STILL does it better :]
*sigh*Video Tearing may be seen during playback in XV using GLESX. Further details can be found in topic number 737-26984
i really feel like installing xorg-server-1.2 now :]
Last edited by yoshi314; 07-19-2007 at 03:13 PM.
I updated xorg to 1.3 and installed 8.39.4 driver on my Fedora 7,however,the Xorg doesn't work.when the Xorg starts,my screen just turned to be black.I checked out the Xorg.log.0,there isn't any error in that log..
I don't know what happened ...It seems that the fglrx driver is working ,but Xorg can't start up....
Others and I have tried several things to kill the "Testing use only" logo... Replacing logos, etc and so far it has been to no avail. (Been thinking about it on and off for several weeks now).
There are these strings in the driver:
But trying to use the DisableLogo option in the X configuration hadn't worked. There may be a hot fix release to correct this.atiddxLogoInit
My dmesg log is slowly filling up with messages like this:

The release notes do not specify Xorg 7.3 ?!~ What gives?
Xorg 7.3 = Xorg Server 1.4 not yet released or supported, but Xorg Server 1.3 is supported for some time now.
This release is not as bad as you could think. Michael, did you test whether there were performance improvements in Doom 3 etc.? I think 8.40 could be VERY interesting...

I know the pumpmaster won't like this but I'm gonna throw it out here anyway:
Living Aloha is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the self. Each person must think and express good feelings to others.
Akahai, kindness to be expressed with tenderness;
Lokahi, unity, to be expressed with harmony;
Oluolu, agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;
Haahaa, humility, to be expressed with modesty;
Ahonui, patience, to be expressed with perseverance.
Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return.
Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.

Hagel has enough support for defense secretary
Friday - 2/22/2013, 4:22pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Barring any new, damaging information, Chuck Hagel has secured the necessary votes for the Senate to confirm him to be the nation's next defense secretary. A vote ending the bitter fight over President Barack Obama's choice for his revamped second-term, national security team is expected next week.
Hagel cleared the threshold when five-term Republican Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama said he would vote for the former GOP senator from Nebraska after joining other Republicans last week in an unprecedented filibuster of the Pentagon nominee.
"He's probably as good as we're going to get," Shelby told the Decatur (Ala.) Daily.
Although a Republican, Hagel has faced strong GOP opposition, with many of his former colleagues voting last week to stall the nomination. Republicans have questioned Hagel's support for Israel, tolerance of Iran and willingness to cut the nuclear arsenal. His opposition to the Iraq war after his initial vote for the conflict angered his onetime friend, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
GOP lawmakers demanded more time to review the nomination that a divided Armed Services Committee had approved on a party-line vote.
Shelby's support was a clear sign of weakening Republican opposition, and it prompted two letters within hours from Hagel's fiercest GOP foes. One letter went to the president calling on him to withdraw the nomination, the other to GOP senators pleading with them to stand together against Hagel.
Fifteen Republicans senators wrote that Hagel lacks the bipartisan support and confidence to serve in the vital job of defense secretary.
"The occupant of this critical office should be someone whose candidacy is neither controversial nor divisive," wrote the senators -- all opponents of Hagel. Leading the effort was Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the party's No. 2, who is up for re-election next year.
One name missing from the letter was McCain, who has called Hagel unqualified but indicated last Sunday that he wouldn't stand in the way of a Senate vote.
Separately, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, sent a letter to his GOP colleagues urging them to vote again to block the nomination when the Senate returns from its recess next week. He acknowledged the reality that if the GOP fails to block a vote, Hagel proponents have the votes to approve him on an up-or-down vote.
"Make no mistake: A vote for cloture is a vote to confirm Sen. Hagel as secretary of defense," wrote Inhofe. He said that while the Senate traditionally defers to presidents on their Cabinet choices, "our nation is at war. The Senate must insist on confirming only the most effective leaders."
The Senate Republicans' closed-door weekly meeting on Tuesday will be crucial to Inhofe's hopes of keeping the GOP in line on Hagel.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney rejected GOP calls for Hagel to withdraw. He complained that Republicans were putting politics ahead of national security, pointing out that the administration wants Hagel to be part of decisions on the size of the U.S. force in Afghanistan as American and coalition forces wind down combat operations.
"This waste of time is not just meaningless political posturing because we firmly believe that Sen. Hagel will be confirmed. The waste of time is of consequence," Carney told reporters.
The Senate also is holding up the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director, with Republicans and Democrats seeking more information about the U.S. policy on the use of drones. Hagel and Brennan would join Secretary of State John Kerry in Obama's overhauled, second-term national security team.
If confirmed, Hagel, a twice-wounded Vietnam combat veteran, would succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is stepping down after four years first as CIA director and then Pentagon chief.
In a boost for Hagel's nomination, former Republican leader Bob Dole, a decorated World War II veteran, issued a statement Thursday saying, "Hagel's wisdom and courage make him uniquely qualified to be secretary of defense and lead the men and women of our armed forces. Chuck Hagel will be an exceptional leader at an important time."
Hagel is expected to get all 55 Democratic votes and the support of three Republicans -- Sens. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Mike Johanns of Nebraska and Shelby. Two other Republicans -- Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska -- voted last week to allow the nomination to move ahead and are expected to do the same next week, giving Hagel the requisite 60 votes out of 100 necessary to end a filibuster.

Everybody wants that their commercial property, industrial property and residential property to be extremely clean and to look good. This requires regular maintenance which may or may not involve things such as landscaping projects, remodeling projects, renovation projects and regular clean-ups. Consequently, this means that there will be a lot of waste resulted from undergoing all these projects and that you will have to find a way to remove it properly and to make sure that nothing is really left behind.
Hiring a skip bins service provider can definitely take a burden off your chest. By talking to the representative of such a company, you will be helped to determine exactly what type of skip bin you need (its size, for example) and what other extra services you may need as well. Even more, they will give you a quote right on the spot and they will come at the scheduled date and hour, to make sure that you are not lagging behind with your schedule due to their delay. They will also come back to collect the skip bins they have left you with – so that accounts for one less thing to worry about yourself.
Before you hire a skip bins service provider, you should think of certain things. The size of your skip bin(s) is one of the most important ones. Usually, for smaller projects (such as residential renovation and landscaping projects, residential spring cleaning and so on), you will not need more than a small skip bin (with a size that usually ranges between 2 meters and 5 meters). However, for commercial waste and for industrial waste, you will have to think of much larger skip bins. Talking to a company representative will help you make the best decision.
Also, you will have to think of the extra services you may need. Commercial waste removal, for example, is one of the services that these companies can offer you with. Also, some of them can offer you with recycling services (which means that they will bring you multiple skip bins, each for one particular type of waste you expect to gather from your house or commercial property).
Do take all the details into consideration and do make sure that you work with the very best service providers out there since they will be truly professional. To find out more, enter on the website sponsored by cheapest skip bins Perth: http://www.cheapestskipbinsperth.com.au/.

Redburn Pro Men RRP $ 139.00
In contrast to its older siblings, it incorporates a slightly stiffer insole, a more grippy Sticky Rubber compound, a Poro wedge and a conventional tongue construction. All other components and the comfortable fit are identical to the Redburn models: patented Mammut Base Fit lacing transfers power to the soles and prevents pressure points and slipping in the boot. The high-grip gripex Cougapproach sole developed by Mammut ensures safety and comfort on ascents. The high breathability of the open-pored 3D liner fabric guarantees a pleasant temperature. Rubber and velours leather reinforcements are combined with board lasting for protection and durability.

Mammut has developed a range of technologies to increase the safety and comfort of its shoes. These technologies are applied differently depending on the type of shoe.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

Phenoms Harvey, Fernandez meet in Miami
Mets seek turnaround against Marlins youngster to open road trip
The Mets' Matt Harvey and the Marlins' Jose Fernandez have mowed down opposing hitters this season, each displaying filthy stuff well beyond their years.
On Monday, the young pitching phenoms engage in what could be the first of many duels within the National League East when the Mets and Marlins open a three-game series at Marlins Park.
"You've got two young players, and obviously Harvey's been pretty good," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "I think it's exciting. Well see who pitches the best."
The Mets have already seen Fernandez earlier this season, when the 20-year-old made his Major League debut on April 7, striking out eight while tossing five innings of one-run ball.
Fernandez has struggled in his last two starts, though -- giving up nine runs in nine innings -- but hopes a return to Marlins Park will help.
The Mets, meanwhile, come to Miami riding a season-long four-game losing streak and look to turn it around against the Marlins.
"We've got to play good on the trip," manager Terry Collins said. "And we have played good on the road. Since I've been here, it seems like when we get out of town, I don't know if we relax more or what we do. We play pretty good on the road. We've got to take advantage of it."
To do that, they'll have to face Fernandez. Mets third baseman David Wright said the club's game plan for Fernandez is just like any other pitcher -- get to him early.
"We tend to hit our best when we work counts and get the starter out of there early," Wright said. "But when you have pitchers that pound the strike zone like the guys have done the last couple games, you really can't go up there with the mentality of taking pitches, because you'll end up [behind]. When you get a pitcher that throws strikes, it forces us to be a little more aggressive than we'd like to be."
If Wright and the Mets are able to do that, the lead should be good in Harvey's hands. Harvey turned in his worst start last time out against the Dodgers, but he still struck out seven in six innings while recording a quality start.
Mets: Buck three shy of April mark
Catcher John Buck's 23 RBIs are three shy of Jeff Kent's team record for RBIs in April, set in 1994.
• Wright snapped a 77-game errorless streak -- the longest in franchise history for a third baseman and the longest current stretch at the position by a big leaguer -- on a ground ball in Sunday's first inning.
Marlins: Pierre hits Mets
Outfielder Juan Pierre is a .324 career hitter with 74 runs scored against the Mets. His 150 hits against New York are the second-most among active players, trailing only Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins (244).
• Miami outfielders are 10-for-11 in stolen-base attempts.
Worth noting
• The Mets took two of three earlier this month at Citi Field.
• The Mets are 0-3 in a stretch of nine straight against the NL East.

Crunchy cool vegan slaw with a light peanut dressing. |

Karina's Vegan Coleslaw Recipe with Peanut Dressing
To make a completely raw recipe, switch out the roasted peanut butter for your favorite raw nut or seed butter (I imagine raw cashew butter would be fabulous in this slaw).
Cut the cabbage in thirds; chop off the core section; and shred the wedges into thin strips. You can do this by hand with a large sharp chef knife like I did, or use a grater/shredder. Toss into a colander. Shred some purple cabbage, for color. Add it to the green cabbage. Rinse in cold water and pat dry (or use a nifty salad spinner). Dump the cabbage into a salad bowl.

Nashua to be reimbursed for Nemo expenses
Mayor Donalee Lozeau said it is a relief that the city wont have to dip into the snow trust fund, an emergency fund set up for winter services, after being told the city is eligible to be reimbursed for the $250,000 spent on Nemo.
"Typically it is a 75 percent reimbursement," Lozeau said. "Without this we would have had to go into the trust fund, and I am relieved we wont have to. While it is there for exactly this purpose and shows the wisdom of having it, it is always good not to use it. This way you're not competing with dollars (during budget season) to make sure you can replenish it."
Lozeau said the city is in the process of filing to be reimbursed for Nemo with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and that she expects a final determination to be made on how much the city will get in 30 to 90 days, after which she said the funds will soon become available.
Lozeau said she wouldn't guess as to how much the current snowstorm will cost the city. She said the city has spent "close to $1.3 million this winter."
With a budget for snow removal totaling $1.27 million and over 70 pieces of owned and contracted equipment, the Nashua Department of Public Works has 700 lane miles of road stretched out over 1,400 streets to cover and spread between about 85 employees.
To supplement the city's snow removal force ,the city contracts 15 to 20 pieces of equipment during a bad storm.
Despite the million-dollar budget, Department of Public Works Director Lisa Fauteux previously said that a bad storm can easily cost the city well over $100,000.
Lozeau has said this winter that she has been happy with the work the DPW has done on snow removal.
"I think they are doing a great job. It's always a challenge to see what winter will bring you, and sometimes it is easier to do the really difficult storms like Nemo instead of multiple nuisance storms, when you are constantly sanding and salting a few inches at a time. People don't see them the same way," she said.

Listen to Your Stakeholders
If I needed to summarize this article in one sentence, I'd say: "Shut up, listen, and then start talking."
User experience practitioners who are also excellent interviewers know that listening is a key aspect of a successful interview. By keeping your mouth shut you reduce the risk of verbal foibles and are in a better position to absorb information. When you are concentrated in absorbing information, you can then begin to identify research opportunities and effectively sow seeds for future research.
When you discuss future UX research with your stakeholders you want to collect pure, unbiased data and turn it into useful information that will help you pitch and get buy-in for future research activities. As in end-user interviews, stakeholder interviews a word, a gesture, or even a blink or a certain body posture can bias an interviewee and add flaws to data you collect. Let's discuss several aspects of listening to your stakeholders when you talk with them about UX research. You will quickly see how these are similar to techniques you apply when interviewing users.
Stakeholders are our clients, whether internal or external to our organization. These are people who need to believe in what we do so they will act on research results and fund future research. We all have a stake in product development. They have a stake in UX research.
Take Notes
As you are listening to what stakeholders say, take accurate notes. You will find these notes extremely useful when you move on to creating a research plan, especially as you phrase research questions and participant characteristics. Taking notes also shows your stakeholders that you care about what they think and want. It's all about respect.
I once had a study participant who noticed that I stopped typing on my laptop keyboard and immediately responded, "That's it? I'm not saying anything important any longer?" Your stakeholders are no different.
Do Not Interrupt
Interrupting stakeholders as they answer your questions and express their thoughts shows disrespect. When you truly listen to a person you are conversing with, you have no reason to interrupt them. Some people, when interrupted, tend to lose their line of thought, so you might also be losing out on important information.
Encourage a Conversation
When there are several stakeholders present, it's a golden opportunity for co-discovery. When you ask a question, try facilitating a conversation between stakeholders. It will help you understand the many aspects and layers behind answers. It might also uncover hidden political forces and tensions you were not aware of that might affect the future of the study and its impact.
Ask Open-Ended Questions
When you ask your product manager, "Do you want me to invite 30- to 40-year-old women for this study?" you've invited them to say, "yes" or "no." What you really want to know is why. Instead, try this open-ended phrasing: "Tell me about the participants you want to see in this study."
Look for Body Language Signals
By studying the body language signals your stakeholders give you, you can intuit all sorts of key insight. Do the truly want the study they are asking for? Were they forced to ask for it? Are they are interested in the results? What do they think of you and your ability to help them?
Speaking very generally, if you see your stakeholders sitting back, crossing their arms and legs, and not looking you in the eye, you have a challenge ahead of you. If they sit up straight, maybe at the edge of their chair, lean forward, and wave their hands when they talk, you can tell that they are engaged, excited, and eager to partner with you—and open to learning from users.
Don't Ask Leading Questions
You want to ask the most neutral questions and avoid biasing your stakeholders. When you ask non-leading questions, your stakeholders talk more, give you more helpful information, and allow you to listen well. For example, here is a leading question you should avoid asking: "You are interested in a standard usability test, right?" A better way to ask it would be, "Tell me about the type of research you want to do."
Don't Think Too Much
You are in information-gathering mode. Think army intelligence. You don't plan your moves now. You don't think about the data in front of you. All you do now is collect and gather. Later on, you'll think about it. If you think too much, you don't listen.
Sowing Seeds for Future Research
In order for you to truly affect people, teams, organizations, and products with user experience research, you do need to talk, but it's about quality, not quantity. When you hear a version of the same thing repeated in three different meetings by several stakeholders, use it. The next time you meet one of these stakeholders—or, even better, his or her manager—mention it to them. Say something like, "I've been hearing that information about _____ has become a knowledge gap in our team. What do you think? Do you think it can be filled in with input from user research?"
Another way to sow seeds is through repetition. It works for politicians—who believe that if their message is repeated countless times, potential voters will eventually think it's true—and children, who also need to experience something again and again to become satisfied. Think Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer, and Yo Gabba Gabba!.
Repeat Your Message Like a Broken Record
When you hear your stakeholders repeat ideas and phrases you've plugging away at, it's a sign that you planted the right seeds. Let's say you've identified an opportunity for making an impact with user experience research. Create some kind of a mantra—a phrase that you keep using each time something relevant is being said in a meeting or conversation.
Say, for instance, you've determined that the team doesn't know anything about what users do with information they export. Do they import it into Microsoft Excel? Do they print it and hang it on the wall? Why do they export information in the first place? You listened well and kept hearing stakeholders and their managers refer to this knowledge gap. The mantra you might respond with would be: "Watching a few users export data is easy; we could do it next week." Repeat it at every (relevant) opportunity. Eventually, it will sink in. When you hear the product manager saying that watching users export data is easy and can be done next week, it's a sign that you've done well.
Final Words
I'd like to finish with two quotes about listening that I really like.
"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them."—Dr. Ralph Nichols
"Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble."—Frank Tyger
If you listen well to your end-users during UX research, I'm confident you are already great at listening to your stakeholders. Use these skills to get buy-in to do more UX research and to come up with research results your stakeholders want to act on.

Add new comment
Tomer, all of your points are on the mark, but I particularly like your advice to encourage a conversation. It just happened again this week in a meeting with stakeholders—when I changed the question of "Does this process happen this way?" into the request "Tell me in your own words what happens," we suddenly discovered that the three stakeholders had three different understandings of the appropriate outcome for our customers. (This isn't a case where the customer gets to choose the outcome; we help them follow rules.)
So before we go further, whether with content development or usability testing, we must reach a consensus on whether we understand the process ourselves and, if we do, what that process actually is.
When we do reach that consensus, we'll be immediately able to better serve our customers—as well as to design a more useful test for our participants to run.
Great article. I especially agree with the point that being in listening mode means not thinking too much. When stakeholders are seen as the barriers to user research, it's tempting to come into the conversation with a strong agenda, and try to push that agenda whenever possible. Stakeholders are also important sources of information (and an opportunity to start a long-term relationship that benefits everyone) so listening is a far more useful tool than arguing or analysing. It's tempting for critical thinkers to sit back and relax while listening, because we're often trained to compute and respond with a clever point. This is something I've had to learn to overcome while learning to do research. Even when the person on the other end says something you disagree with, it is much more valuable to understand why they think that way and whether it reflects the organisation's standpoint, instead of trying to prove them wrong. Thanks for an informative piece with many good reminders.

Great! I was looking forward to this test.
I ordered Intels DG45ID!
Phoronix: Intel GMA X4500HD
Earlier this month Intel had announced the GMA X4500 series, which is their latest and greatest when it comes to integrated graphics processors. These IGPs were greeted by same-day Linux support (it had actually arrived before the chipset was announced), but it's still next to impossible to find motherboards using the G43 and G45 Chipsets that bear this IGP. Fortunately, however, our friends at Super Micro have come through and we have managed to get our hands on the C2SEA. The Super Micro C2SEA is an ATX motherboard that uses the Intel G45 Chipset in conjunction with an ICH10 Southbridge. This motherboard provides Intel GMA X4500HD graphics with VGA and HDMI interfaces. In this article, we are looking at the performance of this new Intel graphics processor under Linux.
Great! I was looking forward to this test.
I ordered Intels DG45ID!
Wow, this could be misleading for the average Joe:
ATI HD4500 vs Intel 4500HD
It wouldn't be so bad if they were neck to neck performance wise.
I'm wondering how they'll compare.
Wonderful news, really and THANK YOU Intel for this great HW *and* SW effort. Finally, waiting for 3D card with reasonable performance for everyday use (I guess PS3 - grade graphics?) and quality open drivers is over. Historically, I had many proprietary blobs in my computer and hated each and every of them with passion: various media codecs, nvidia driver, wifi driver, adobe pdf reader, java jvm, flash, nero... It seems, as soon as I get one of these Centrino 2 X4500HD boxes, Flash plugin is last on this list, waiting for adequate F/OSS replacement. Also, upgrade to 64-bit system should be non-issue in this case.
PS3 = Playstation 3?I guess PS3 - grade graphics?
If so, not by far. While the PS3 video processor isn't a powerhouse by today's standards (about equivalent to a high-end G70), the X4500HD doesn't even come close
That said, performance looks very reasonable and driver support is a big plus. I wonder how this piece compares to AMD's integrated HD3200 - any chance for a feature/performance comparison soon?
Radeon X1800 XT (in this test) has equal performance as nVidia 7800 which is inside PS3, so unless somebody present benchmarks, I have no reason to believe PS3 can be much faster then Intel X4500. Also, driver for Intel's new chip is in its first iterations, so lets see how it will improve in time and lets wait for more benchmarks comparing both cards.
I don't have any special hopes regarding any graphic card. I just look at benchmarks and draw conclusions from that. So far, only 2 benchmarks of X4500HD are available on the web (AFAIK) and it looks this card has similar performance to what is inside PS3. That is not quite "high-end" by current standards, but I wouldn't even consider buying additional card, if I had this one integrated inside my chipset. Especially given driver quality.
That's funny, I've been watching DirectCanada and NCIX everyday for the past few weeks to see if they get any G45 Mobo's on their sites, and NCIX had this one today.
Although they don't have any in stock yet, at least we know they are coming soon.
But lately I've been focusing on trying the AM2 based boards, the 780g and GF8200 (don't have a GF8200 yet, but I will be ordering one soon), and I even jumped the gun last year getting the 690g. And even have a BE-2350 and a 4850e.
I am MOST interested to see the power consumption comparisons for all of these chipsets in idle and while playing some H.264 content. My HTPC is running 24/7. Hoping to somehow be able to play uncompressed 1080p content in linux with one of these chipsets, I really want to get away from depending on Windows for my HTPC.
Mythbuntu 8.10 is going to be awesome on all these new boards.
The PS3 doesn't use any computer graphics card, it uses a special one made specially for it, though it is in the later 7 series.
Also this is misleading
That is a generic interface for gallium drivers, to have video decoding, but it is limited to the specs, for now, that means XvMC, so it will only provide MPEG-2/-4(I think XvMC supports this???), unless VAAPI comes or XvMC is extendedOriginally Posted by the article

Ryu looks to send Dodgers into break on high note
Padres counter with All-Star Ross in first-half finale in Los Angeles
Hyun-Jin Ryu is coming off perhaps the most disappointing start of his career, but he'll have a chance to rebound on Sunday at Dodger Stadium against the Padres, who own the Majors' worst offense, in the final matchup for both clubs before the All-Star break.
In his last outing against Detroit, Ryu blew the five-run lead that the Dodgers gave him in the top of the first off Justin Verlander. He lasted just 2 1/3 innings -- the second-shortest outing of his career -- and allowed seven runs on 10 hits.
"I let my team down after they scored five runs. I had a cushion and didn't capitalize," Ryu said. "Nothing was working. My command was not there. I'd miss by a foot or right down the middle, nothing on the edges. I learned again that, with Major League hitters, you can't pitch in the middle."
Ryu has generally been solid this season, though, lasting least six innings in 13 of his 17 starts, and the lefty has been even better against the Padres. He's gone 2-0 with a 0.93 ERA in three starts against them in his career.
This will be the third time he's faced them this year. He pitched seven scoreless innings in a no-decision at Petco Park on March 30, and allowed just one run on four hits on June 22 in a 2-1 Dodgers win.
Tyson Ross, the Padres' lone All-Star, will hope to hand Ryu his first career defeat against San Diego.
The right-hander has pitched far better than his 7-9 record indicates -- while taking losses in four of his five June starts, Ross received just one run of support while he was on the mound -- and that came via his own sacrifice fly.
In his first July start, Ross took matters into his own hands by pitching his first career shutout against Cincinnati. But the lack of support doomed him once again in his last outing, as the Padres could only muster one run at Coors Field in a 2-1 loss to the Rockies despite a quality start from Ross.
Ross won't pitch in the All-Star Game because of his Sunday start, but against the Dodgers' star-studded lineup, he'll get to showcase his stuff against a powerful offense all the same.
Dodgers: Crawford added to center-field mix
The Dodgers' center-field carousel has another participant.
Andre Ethier has been the Dodgers' primary center fielder this season -- starting 49 games there -- but Scott Van Slyke has seen time there recently and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said left fielder Carl Crawford has started taking fly balls in center as well.
"The way we are right now -- Scott's been swinging the bat well; Dre had a really good second half last year; Carl's going to mess around in center field, taking fly balls," Mattingly said. "So we'll continue to try to do the best we can out there."
With Matt Kemp now firmly entrenched in left field, Crawford hasn't started a game since his return, so he's looking to add to his versatility.
"He just kind of went out there on his own," Mattingly said of Crawford's work in center. "I know he played there in the Minor Leagues, and they kind of moved him in Tampa. I think with our situation, Carl going out there and taking fly balls, you never know what can happen. So I encouraged him to do a little work out there."
The Dodgers don't have a prototypical center fielder to turn to, but Mattingly said he doesn't think that will hurt his team as it looks to make another playoff run in the second half.
"We've been doing it all year, so I don't know why we can't continue to do it," he said. "We play in a lower-scoring environment now, kind of regularly. We have to continue to improve as far as not giving away extra outs and being as good as we can possibly be.
"This is our team, and we can be good enough to win it all like this."
Padres: Peterson focused on process, not results
It's been a struggle at the big league level this season for rookie infielder Jace Peterson, who was added to the roster for the third time this season prior to Saturday night's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers.
Peterson, who started the season with Double-A San Antonio, hit .100 in his first 50 at-bats with San Diego. When he was sent back to Triple-A El Paso on June 28, he left with some marching orders from hitting coach Phil Plantier.
"I'm just trying to have good at-bats and, specifically, letting the ball get there instead of going to get it," he said. "I'm not worrying so much about results but just having good at-bats."
Peterson, who can play second base, shortstop and third base, is hitting .294 this season in the Minor Leagues between San Antonio and El Paso.
He did not appear in Saturday night's game.
Worth noting
• Dodgers infielder Justin Turner, on the disabled list since June 29 with a left hamstring strain, will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga. Mattingly said he hopes to have Turner back Friday in St. Louis after the All-Star break.
• To make room for Peterson on the roster, San Diego optioned rookie starter Jesse Hahn to El Paso. Hahn isn't expected to make any starts in the Minors, and will rejoin the big league club after the All-Star break.

I always like to get a first hand report from someone who actually saw the competition. Watching from the computer or TV screen IMO does not give a clear picture of what actually was going on.
I always like to get a first hand report from someone who actually saw the competition. Watching from the computer or TV screen IMO does not give a clear picture of what actually was going on.
I think it's a combination of both of these things. Z/Z's PCS are too high, so they have to give S/Z extra high PCS to reflect their clear superiority over Z/Z in program components. At the same time, I feel like they would give S/Z huge PCS regardless, just because they are S/Z and "owned the competition". As Katha mentioned, nobody was robbed of placements, so I guess there's no harm in a little overscore for the clear winner. The same thing has happened with S/S. It will be so interesting when S/Z and S/S finally go head to head.
people from the arena said their speed was crazily fast. I'll know in two weeks when I see them in SA.
I watched it on my computer, not the best quality feed but still I love their program. They made a couple of mistakes but in general it is a great program and they not only have good transitions, but also elements with new looks, which I really respect. I think they deserve the scores if one compares their score with others in the competitions this season so far. I am just happy for them.
Zhang/Zhang finally got the 2A/3T again though shaky. V/M is such a miss matched pair and I feel sorry for V. She has such talent and quality that she could be a champain with the right partner. I also feel sorry for them that they now become a recycled team of S/S, the program, the costumes, and the impressions. I loved V better as herself, more elegant and more graceful. Love the new pair from Russia, great potential. It's a pity for young pairs from China especially those in the national team. They just don't get the attention that suit their tallent as there are three better ones over there already.

Great LP for Shen & Zhao!!!
I don't care much about their SP, and it was a bit overscored IMHO. S&S' SP is probably a bit better.
However, Shen & Zhao owned the free skate. I have no idea why people were saying they were slow, they were incredibly fast to me on the screen. The transitions/in-between were very nice and tight.
The most impressive thing is how many innovative elements they did in just one LP, and how much they were willing to challenge themselves at this stage of their career.
spread-eagle into 2a+2a, new
three lifts and entrance/exit, new
death-spiral, unique
spirals, unique
unique into throw 3loop
even the pair spins, not really their strong suit, but they at least attempted sth new to them.
I think Shen's positions in lifts have regressed a bit though. She needs to stretch the legs more.
I loved Shen/Zhao's performance. They did have some extra love from the judges but, just as others have said, it seems that this season judges tend to be very generous when one of the competitors is so far ahead from the rest of the field, such as in the cases of Yuna and Plushenko.
I did think they were a bit slow, especially in the spiral sequence. Well, the first event of the season, plus they are veterans (one is 36 and the other is soon to be 31). I hope they, with a calculated practice schedule, can peak at the Olympics (please stay healthy!)
I'm so happy shen & zhao are back
Was just taking a quick look at the protocols, for those of you who know a lot more about skating than me, what element is PSp1*? Was marked as an invalid element and get a bit curious..
yes, can someone tell me why S/z and I/M both got Pairs spin as invalid element, any idea?. if they had just got base value for that element, the score would like 205 points- that would have just crowned the champion for Vancouver at Beijing.
i think S/S and S/Z are favorites for gold even with one or two mistakes. others lIke M/T, Z/Z, P/T, K/S can battle for bronze. I think the russian will get the edge for bronze if they go clean.
What a wonderful come back!!
Great Job Shen Zhao!!!
well,,,at the same time,,,some people wont be too happy,,i.g ...S/S, their coach,,,,and probably some SS fans....
but whatever,,,,I really enjoy S/Z's programs!!!
some people say S/Z are slow,,,,,,,,,
Compared to short track speed skating,,of course they are slow,,,,
but remember we are watching "figure skating",,,,,, at least it was almost clean,,,,,
much better than some pairs rarely had clean programs and got the overated score.....
And I have to say " IT IS STILL YOUR TIME, SHEN & ZHAO!!"
They looked quite slow, compared to their past performances. I think their LP PCS are way too high. I guess the panel judges at COC probably couldn't resist the heartwarming hospitality from Chinese Organizing Committee, so they had to respond in kind. It's premature to be overoptimistic about such results. Much work needs to be done on their programs in the days ahead.
Somehow, I feel Zhao is a little shaky in some parts of their routines. Whether he can overcome his age by feburary of 2010, we'll have to wait and see.
Can somebody tell me why D&B's scores were so low? I feel they're at least euqal to or better than the last two seasons. Their PCS is almost down to 5s.
Any link to S/Z FP?
Just watched S/Z on TV. It's nice to see them back and they are doing great for their ages! That being said this performance was very slow...especially coming out of their lifts. Overscored too.
Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_xnqv_jQvQ
Personally, I really like this program and I really am pleased to see them back - I do hope that can enjoy the season especially the Olympics and just skate (injury and nerve free) with joy.

"As of right now, this very moment, Jim is DONE with chemotherapy!" Kelly's wife, Jill, posted Tuesday on Instagram.
She noted that he has four radiation treatments to go at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo. He received the early part of his radiation and chemotherapy at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City before coming home to Western New York for the remainder of his treatments.
"Keep those prayers coming," he said a video message earlier this month. "I sure need them. Without you I wouldn't be able to get through this. God bless you."
Kelly was originally diagnosed with oral cancer in June 2013. After the diagnosis, he underwent surgery to have part of his upper jaw removed. The surgery was considered a success and for over nine months, Kelly appeared to be cancer-free.
The 54-year-old then found out in March that the cancer had returned, which led to the chemotherapy treatments that Kelly began on April 6.
Kelly, who led the Bills to four Super Bowls in the 1990s, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001.

I'll take you up on that offer. I will send you the map in the morning.
Depends on the light bulb. Here's a random 60 lumen flashlight which is 3w. http://www.amazon.com/Lumens-Super-Bright-Flashlight-Torch/dp/B0057M4QPQ
Well, at 50 lumens - this is at least 3 times brighter than the pico projector that was offered a while ago.. still not very bright by many standards...
50 lumens? Seriously? Do you have to light the wick before watching a movie? For the people thinking this would be great for a home theater, it wouldn't be. Home theater projectors usually have 1200 lumens or more, this has 50. Lumens are a measure of the output of light. A 50-lumen projector would be difficult to watch in a totally dark room if the image size was larger than the average TV. The projector manufacturers are shooting themselves in the foot by making these low-lumen projectors, because there will be a lot of pissed-off customers that think that all projectors are crap. In reality, good home-theater projectors are awesome. This isn't one of them.

It's hard not to sympathize with the House Republicans' latest budget gambit. They are willing to extend the debt ceiling for three months on the condition the Senate pass a budget, a fundamental task it has failed to perform for four straight years. And if the Senate doesn't pass a budget, the House bill declares senators won't be paid until they do.
I understand the difficulty Harry Reid would have getting the 60 votes to pass a budget over a predictable Republican filibuster. But for his party not to bring a budget forward for debate is politically clueless and constitutionally reprehensible. Do your job. Come up with a budget that makes the "tough choices" that have become a political cliche.� Let Mitch McConnell filibuster it — then he'll take the blame for stalling the process.
And I can certainly understand the sentiment behind the no-budget-no-pay provision.� For most of us, missing a paycheck is a problem worth avoiding.
Unfortunately, the Senate is mostly made up of millionaires who have no need to ever cash their government paychecks. Even more unfortunately, there's the matter of the 27th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads in full:
No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall have intervened.

Old-Time Radio Fans Sign Off
AUDIE CORNISH, host: Long before there were sitcoms, reality TV and programs like "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars," millions of Americans tuned their ears and their imaginations each week to the radio. Programs like "The Shadow," "Gunsmoke" and "Lux Radio Theater," were pretty popular in the 1930s through the 1950s; and even today, they have their fans. A few hundred of those fans gathered in Newark, New Jersey this weekend to keep the art of radio drama alive. But as Scott Gurian reports, this gathering will be their last.
SCOTT GURIAN: Elaine Hyman started acting from the age of 11 on a variety of radio programs like "The Green Hornet" and "The Lone Ranger."
CLAYTON MOORE: (as the Lone Ranger) Hello, little girl. Ho, Silver, ho there.
ELAINE HYMAN: (as Sally) My name's Sally. And I live here. Are you an outlaw?
MOORE: No, Sally. We're not outlaws. And you needn't be frightened.
HYMAN: Oh, I'm not frightened. Why do you wear that mask, mister?
GURIAN: Now 77, Hyman says she gets nostalgic listening back to herself on those old broadcasts.
HYMAN: It was the kind of pure radio and pure Americana. Cowboys said things like shan't, and it was a very innocent time, and the shows were very innocent. I mean, the bad guys always got caught; they weren't that bad, and the good guys triumphed.
GURIAN: For Robert Flood and several other convention-goers who were blind or visually-impaired, old time radio programs served as a theater of the imagination.
ROBERT FLOOD: It was actually my mother who noticed that I was not focusing too well on my sight. So, she introduced me to a radio program, "The Lone Ranger." And when I was a little kid, I remember turning my chair around, and as Fred Foy would announce the Lone Ranger, I'd be riding with him visually in my head, because when you don't see with your eyes, you see with your mind.
GURIAN: The golden age of radio came to an end when CBS broadcast the last of its radio dramas in September 1962. And now, more than 50 years later, in an era of television, video games and changing tastes, convention organizers say that radio drama just doesn't have the audience it used to. Many of the old time radio actors are also dying out. So, after 36 years, the group Friends of Old Time Radio announced that this will be its last ever convention. It's not all bad news, though. People who want to listen back to episodes of "Sherlock Holmes" or "Abbot and Costello" now have more chances than ever via satellite radio and the Internet. For NPR News, I'm Scott Gurian.
