Open Source 2010: Reflections on 2007
2007, EDUCAUSE Review
Bradley C. Wheeler
Colleges and universities and commercial firms have demonstrated great progress in realizing the vision proffered for "Open Source 2007," and 2010 will mark even greater progress. Although much work remains in refining open source for higher education applications, the signals are now clear: the collaborative development of software can provide one of the most potent tools for IT leaders as they wrestle with four challenging trends for IT services: (1) unbridled demand for IT services; (2) modest IT resource growth; (3) a marketplace failure; and (4) growing distance between the users and the software developers. The outcomes, pace, and shape of open-source collaborations remain fungible and in their hands. Thus 2007 is the year to revisit if and how open-source application software fits as part of a comprehensive IT strategy for a specific college or university. Given a multi-year lead time to develop an institution's robust ability to leverage the investments of others, now is not too early to begin this work even as various applications mature. In the author's view, developing a collaborative capability is not an option for 2010: it is a necessity for effective college and university IT organizations.
Wheeler, B. C. (2007), "Open Source 2010: Reflections on 2007," EDUCAUSE Review, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 49-52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66-67.

One person died and another was hurt when a Maule M-5 crashed into a house in the 23000 block of NE 144th St. in Woodinville on Saturday afternoon.
Deputy Charlie Akers with the King County Sheriff's Office said witnesses reported hearing a plane sputtering.
When they looked up they noticed the propeller actually stopped and the plane rolled over and went into the house, said Akers.
Two people were on board. A male in his late teens or early 20s was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. The pilot, a 45-year-old Redmond man, was dead at the scene. The passenger is from Spokane.
The NTSB said the plane hit a van before crashing into the garage.
No one on the ground was hurt.
It was not immediately known where the plane took off from and where it was going.
Puget Sound Energy was called in to repair a broken gas line.
The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.

Designer creates clutter-free organizational hubs
Mallory Mathison / Flip Flop Photography
Mallory Mathison designed this office "corner" in a family kitchen.
Brian Patrick Flynn / Sarah Dorio
AFTER: Brian Patrick Flynn turned the room into a clean and colorful creative space.
Brian Patrick Flynn / Sarah Dorio
BEFORE: This catch-all room was a disorganized nightmare of clutter.
Increasingly, homeowners are carving out a physical space -- anything from a single kitchen cabinet to an entire spare room -- that can function as a family information center and workstation.
In an effort to battle clutter and keep track of schedules, designer Brian Patrick Flynn helps clients kick the habit of spreading out items around their homes.
"These days, it's pretty much a given that families use their kitchen islands, dining tables and/or coffee tables as prime real estate for laptops, school papers, iPhones and mail," said Flynn, founder and editor of decordemon.com.
"When I'm designing entire homes, especially ones for young families, the first thing I focus on is locating a seldom-used corner, section or nook somewhere easily accessible to create a creative and organizational hub.
"This usually follows my tirade of, 'No more using the dining table or breakfast nook as a clutter station!'"
Flynn and two interior designers offer these tips on creating the perfect headquarters to wrangle homework assignments, invitations, permission slips, calendars and more.
What's needed
- A calendar (paper, digital or both) that the whole family can access.
- Accessible storage space for incoming mail, invitations and permission slips where things won't be forgotten.
- A message board (dry-erase white boards and/or corkboards are popular) where family members can post and share information.
- A labeled bin or section of corkboard space assigned to each family member.
- A power strip for charging electronic devices, with shelf or desk space to keep those items while charging.
Ideally, the space will include a work surface where kids can do homework and parents can handle tasks like filling out permission slips.
Many families include a laptop or desktop computer for homework or checking e-mail. If you have a computer handy, you're more likely to enter information digitally and eliminate paper clutter.
Where to put it
Flynn suggests using the "bonus room" that many newer homes have.
Atlanta designer Mallory Mathison has converted pantries or small closets into organizational hubs.
She removes the doors to open up the space, adds a deep shelf as a desktop. and puts shelves and a message board and calendar on the back wall.
HGTV designer Cortney Novogratz suggests families in smaller homes could choose one corner of the kitchen, since it's a room the entire family uses daily, and designate a single kitchen cabinet as the hub.
Line the cabinet door with the calendar and corkboard or dry-erase board and add small bins on the shelves for each family member.
A small laptop can be kept inside the cabinet and taken out for use at the kitchen table.
For additional storage, she suggests buying a rolling cart with labeled drawers where each child in the family can keep things like pending work or art supplies. This can be wheeled around the kitchen or other rooms as needed.
Furniture needed
In lieu of custom built-ins, Flynn suggests buying two kitchen cabinets from a big-box home improvement store, and two prefab bookcases. Stack the bookcases on top of the base cabinets. Mount them to the wall and add some basic molding to the front edges, creating "the look of custom built-ins, but for only a few hundred bucks."
He also suggests plundering the rest of your home in search of old furniture. In one home, he placed two old dressers next to each other, using their surfaces as a place to collect mail and pending paperwork.
He outfitted the dresser drawers with a hanging file system, then brought in an old table and chairs from a child's playroom.
And paint goes a long way in coordinating the pieces.
For limited spaces Mathison suggests searching estate sales (or your own attic) for one large piece of furniture like a wooden secretary, which has a desktop and a mix of open and closed storage.
Refinish it with several coats of glossy paint and, if necessary, drill holes in the back for power cords.
Make it work
Even the best system won't work unless you use it. Flynn says beautiful, bright colors can help draw you to your organizational space.
Kids will be proud to have their projects and tests posted alongside their artwork for added inspiration.
Plan the space carefully based on your needs: Do older kids need extra space for doing homework? Are you juggling lots of appointments and need to make your calendar the centerpiece?
Novogratz suggests hanging a family calendar and business calendar together so you can mark things on both, and kids can see when you'll be busy with work commitments.
If scheduling is key, post pending items like permission slips and invitations in a prominent spot or keep them in an in-box that you'll check regularly.

The Italians just about own the saddle business. What is largely unspoken is that many Italian teams quietly run Italian seat posts on their team bikes as well. Selcof. Ever heard of them? Take a hard look at the photos you see of the Giro d'Italia and you'll find them (often stickered otherwise) all over the place. Now with the Fizik Cyrano, Selcof has some serious competition. Considering how integration is becoming ever more popular in the bike world, it's surprising that few saddle manufacturers have gone the route of making seat posts as well. Fizik proves yet again to be ahead of the curve.
The Cyrano is not only light but does a great job of cradling ultra-light saddle rails, and it's incredibly easy to adjust. There are two critical elements to the Cyrano's functionality. One is the cradle. Unlike most seat posts, which almost bite seat rails in two places on each side, the Cyrano has a lower clamp and upper clamp, both of which are smooth and long. The lower clamp half is 45.5mm in length. This means the bottom of the saddle rails are supported for this entire distance, distributing loads over a much greater area thus making rail breakage almost impossible and reducing clamping force. The second key element is the thumb-wheel micro adjusting mechanism in front. This little steel wheel is attached to a steel clamping bolt so that you can easily micro-adjust the tilt of the saddle. There are no teeth to engage as on many seatpost clamps.
The Cyrano seatpost is also reversible. So it can be run with the clamp in front for those who want a forward time trial position or with the clamp in back for a more traditional road position. The post has 25mm of clamp offset. The clamp is designed to work with all modern seat rails. It can accommodate traditional round rails as well as Fizik's 7x9 ovalized braided carbon rails and other manufacturers' oval rails that are up to 10.3mm tall. It has also been designed so you don't have to disassemble the post before installing or removing a saddle.
To minimize weight, the post is 3D forged -- an extrusion process that leaves the post with a strong head to attach the clamp up top, and then varied interior wall thicknesses along the length of the post, thinner on the sides and thicker in the front and back. They've also finished the bottom of the post on a bias that both saves weight and makes the post easier to install.
Being a Fizik, the post isn't designed to disappear on the bike, but stand out. The aluminum post is anodized a glossy Black, with the Fizik logo in both Black and White. There are also measuring marks on the back of the post. The lower half of the clamp is anodized black while the top is matte Silver. The post comes with a silicone ring for marking your post height. The Fizik Cyrano Seatpost is available in four diameters (27.2, 30.9, 31.6, and 34.9mm) and three lengths (270, 330, 400mm).

Nice post at a great price.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a very simple to adjust, beautifully made seatpost. Not super light at 236 grams for the 27.2mm, 270mm length, but respectable. I think that the bolt that adjusts the angle can be easily stripped, so it should be replaced.
I also had some seatpost slipping issues. I used some park carbon paste, and it seemed to have solved the problem. I thought it was a bargain at $76, at $45 it is a no brainer to buy it.
Andrea Pablo Assanelli
Good looks, regular performance
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought one to fit my Fizik saddle. Look, weight stiffness are great, BUT the glossy finish (I guess) makes it hard to keep in place. I sense some slipping, especially on gravel roads. It is mounted on my BMC TE29 (2012)
I'm experiencing the same slippage with a Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost. I'm sending my post back and hoping it's just the post and not my frame (2012 BMC TE29).

By Gary D. Robertson
(AP) — With the presidential candidates away and the governor's race looking less competitive compared to 2008, some down-ballot races are gaining attention during the North Carolina political season's final days thanks to outside money.
Corporations, trade groups, unions, individuals and candidate committees are spending millions of dollars combined to seek to influence a race for state Supreme Court and for lieutenant governor through mailings and television and radio ads. The races historically have attracted little public interest.
Associate Justice Paul Newby and Court of Appeals Judge Sam Ervin IV, the grandson of the legendary U.S. senator, are seeking an eight-year term on the state's highest court in a race officially labeled nonpartisan but that could tilt the balance of the court's judicial philosophy. Democrat Linda Coleman and Republican Dan Forest are running for lieutenant governor.
While the presidential race remains tight in North Carolina, longtime political consultant Gary Pearce said fellow Democrats call him discouraged about races for governor and the state Legislature, where Republicans appear poised to retain their new majorities. An Elon University poll this week shows Republican Pat McCrory with a 14-point lead over Democrat Walter Dalton for governor.
But Pearce said Democratic allies are hopeful about other races, including those for the Supreme Court and the Council of State. "There is a feeling that the governor's race is tough, the Legislature's tough," Pearce said, but the others "are a lot of closer, and I'm paying closer attention to them."
Hal Weatherman, Forest's campaign manager, said the intensity level in that race has picked up in part because McCrory appears to be doing well. "Because of the race Pat has run, we all think we have a good shot at those down-ballot races," he said.
A "super PAC" called the North Carolina Judicial Coalition has spent $1.8 million alone on television ads backing Newby, according to campaign finance reports filed this week with the State Board of Elections. That's more than what Newby's and Ervin's campaigns will spend combined.
Another independent group, Justice for All NC, has been the coalition's largest single donor — contributing $920,000, reports show. More money could be coming — Justice for All NC reported receiving another $275,000 from the Republican State Leadership Committee, increasing its total giving to Justice for All NC to $1.1 million. Nearly all of Justice for All NC's money has gone to the coalition.
Ervin's committee and Democrats are questioning why the Republican group, which spent money in North Carolina two years ago to help elect GOP legislative candidates, and other large donors to Justice for All, are involved in his race.
Ervin, a registered Democrat, is running his own ad accusing the groups of attempting to "buy a seat" on the state's highest court. He says the influx of funds threatens the public's confidence in the court's independence.
"You've got at least $1 million in out-of-state dollars coming into a North Carolina nonpartisan judicial race with the vast majority (coming) from an obviously partisan group," Ervin said in a phone interview, adding that voters will in effect decide in this election what "they think about this activity."
Other Justice for All NC donors include Medical Mutual, which writes physicians' liability insurance, and North Carolinians for Affordable Health Care, which has been led by the North Carolina Medical Society. The seven-member Supreme Court could rule on challenges to redistricting maps and medical malpractice award limits approved by the new Republican-controlled Legislature in 2011. Four of the seven justices are Republican by voter registration.
Representatives from Medical Mutual, the medical society and the RSLC didn't return phone calls or emails Thursday seeking comment. Tom Fetzer, a former state GOP chairman who is now a N.C. Judicial Coalition leader, said it's hypocritical of Ervin to accuse outside groups of excessive influence when Democratic-leaning groups have spent money on statewide judicial races in the recent past.
"No one associated with the North Carolina Judicial Coalition expects anything from Paul Newby except the continuation of his career as a fine jurist," said Fetzer, who's also a former Raleigh mayor.
Newby, a registered Republican, said he doesn't read press reports about the donations and said his term on the court shows he won't be influenced by outside groups. "I have a reputation of simply following the law," he said.
In the lieutenant governor's race, the political action committee of the State Employees Association of North Carolina has spent at least $250,000 in recent weeks on television and radio ads supporting Coleman, a former state personnel director and ex-state representative. The association is a local branch of the Service Employees International Union. A pro-Forest super PAC surfaced last week. Forest also has run his own radio ad.
"If the governor's race becomes a foregone conclusion, we would hope that North Carolinians would focus more on the lieutenant governor's race," said Kevin LeCount, political director of 55,000-member SEANC.

Installed and ready to go
On July 16, 2012, Microsoft made available a preview version of Office 2013. While all the typical parts of the familiar productivity suite are still here, there is a definite change of philosophy – Office 2013 is tablet-ready and Windows 8 friendly.
TechRepublic will be diving headlong into the various parts of Office 2013 until it is released, but I thought you might want to get a quick overview of what's coming.
As you can see, Office 2013 fits right in with the Windows 8 Metro interface.
If you want to get your hands on the preview yourself, head over to the Microsoft Office 2013 website.

Really no reason to change (I refuse to call it an "Upgrade") and the subscription option is totally out there. Could someone PLEASE replace Ballmar before all of Microsoft's products become unusable?
And, haven't they got rid of the "ribbon" thing yet? I haven't upgraded from 2003 because of it.
I was glancing over the comments and noticed that someone was having an issue with the Office 2013. I am not sure this is any help but: I installed Win 8 RC and Office 2013 seems to live well along side Office 2010 Pro using the 8 - RC. All my office icons look like Office 2013's but if I open Office 2013 I can load all my office 2010 things fine. I haven't tried to save in Office 2013 format then try to open them in 2010 (Word) but I was even able to build a dummy Excel worksheet in 2013 and it was readable and editable using 2010. I haven't tried any Macros yet. Not sure how things work on my Win 7 Pro, haven't tried it yet. The only thing that broke on Win 8 - RC was a couple of computer games that I don't play much everything else seem to work fine.
It occurs to me in viewing Mark's First Look images that behavior of apps between a classic desktop PC and a touch-centric device such as a tablet or AIO desktop with touch screen may be significantly different in the brave, new Windows 8 world. For example (and I may be wrong about this), it appears that Mark used a non-touch, standard PC to explore Office 2013. As a result, we have no "first look" of how screen gestures come into play. Perhaps editors should consider this in future First Look features.
This review is not a review at all. Just screenshots of an install. What I'm interested in is the difference between what I'm using now, which equates to the investment in training I've made, etc, and the benefits of moving everything to a new, unproven, interface. I don't see anything here, yet, that seems compelling at all. I've heard about 'social network' integration, but don't see any sign of it in your screenshots.
I moved from MS Office to OpenOffice and LibreOffice and never once regretted it . I am NOT liking window 8 so far. Some of us still use real computers and not pocket PC. Looks like I'll say goodby to the MS OS soon.
Each new version of Office has become more bloated and slow to load and use. I have licence rights on a group of PCs to upgrade from 2007 to 2010 but having upgraded one or two I have stopped as it takes a lifetime to install and runs like a dog on reasonable XP PCs. I dread what 2013 might be like. Also will Outlook 2013 stop hanging as my 2007 still does; I'm not hopeful.
What is its purpose?
This article worked for me. When I open Excel files from Explorer, each open in their own windows. I can click and drag them to the monitor I want to use. http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/26491/how-to-force-microsoft-excel-to-open-files-in-new-window-how-to-guide/
I would definitely like a better look at OneNote. So far things look great but are there enough major changes to make users want to upgrade?
where can we get the preview copy of ms office 2013. I installed win 8 prview and want to preview office 8 with it.
From what i can see access is amon the missing. Is it being considered a developers tool now. I do a load of work with that progrma nad i am even reluctatnt to load Office 2010 with all of the issues that exist for conversion of access 2007 to Access 2010. Only Bill and God know what convolutions are next for the program!
I still don't see much really new from Off2010. The question about SDI and MDI is key, after all these years I cannot understand why there is such a difference between the components of Office. I wonder whether Recent Documents will improve as often it does not show all recent documents. The small and unlabelled and often obscure icons used in the Ribbon seem no better, the ribbon I find takes up too much screen for having it constantly on display. I bet that on a smaller screen tablet that will be even more so. As for all Caps for the menu items - and coloured menus - I don't see the benefit and certainly will not be consistent across the whole platform. I wonder if they have improved the Zoom features in PowerPoint - like the Zoom control for the outline window to be consistent with the main display zoom control; like identical table controls in PowerPoint as in Word, etc. And please, please can we make Visio more consistent!!!
In Office 2010, Word is a single document interface while Excel is a multi document interface. Did this carry through to 2013 or did they introduce more consistency? Single is nice for dual monitors when you want to do a side-by-side comparison because you can more easily maximize both windows. Multi is nice because it reduces clutter. I think It would be optimum if you could choose, just like you can with tabs in current internet browsers. Implementing tabs would greatly enhance an MDI. You could more easily see what files you have open and quickly select the tab to move between them. How about if you could tear off a tab and turn it into an SDI or drag and drop to return it to an MDI? Wouldn't that be awesome! If that capability was introduced into Office 2013, I'd consider an upgrade.
It doesn't look like this preview can be downloaded, either the suite as a whole or the five components individually. The MS preview is nothing but text and screen shots. Previous versions of Office have also included a variety of minor but often useful tools as part of the suite. I wonder what will be dropped or added? I miss the Document Imaging tool from the 2007 version.
I just had a problem uninstalling Ofice 2013 preview. It dosen't seem to live alongside Office 2010 on Windows 7 Pro 64bit very well and was causing me no end of problems with a particular application that uses Word - and which had defaulted to Word 2013 - which failed to open! I tried using the uninstall from Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs but that just hung (on item 2 of 5) for over an hour with nothing happening. As luck would have it, I had a restore from a few days before I installed Office 2013 and therefore mnage to eliminate all traces! I would definately advise making a restore point before doing anything!
I was a little worried they'd change the interface completely to fit in the the whole Metro thing but it looks a lot like a blockier version of 2010 so I'm not particularly bothered. I'll probably upgrade to it once I can get a good deal.
Subject says it all . . . I have no logical reason to upgrade.
More Metro crap. Microsoft is turning "square". :-)
I installed it on Windows 7 and love it. I like the sleek look, but still trying to find all the new features to use in all the MS Office programs offered in 2013 version.
Some novice-level users apparently like the ribbon, though it's hard for me to imagine why. If Microsoft had provided the option to use EITHER the (fully customizable) Office 2003 toolbars/menus interface or the bulky, illogical (and crippled) ribbon, I'd have purchased the 2007 and 2010 upgrades. So would have a huge number of other users. They are incredibly stupid at Microsoft, crippling the user interface and their sales at the same time. They should take a cue from another Washington State business: I can go with friends to Starbucks, and although I don't like coffee, they will sell me tea or hot chocolate, and everybody is happy.
... only I'm still using Office 2K, the FIRST time MS turned Word into a single-document interface. When the MDI returned w/ Office XP (2002), I decided that I was NOT going to pay for an upgrade just to get back a feature that I had in Office 97. Now I see from one of the other comments that the SDI came back w/ Office 2010. Microsoft: Talk to your users. They will tell you what needs fixing ... and what doesn't.
I have no problem using Office 2013 and Office 2010 on Wind 7 Pro. I am able to save in Office 2013 and open in 2010 with no problem. Macros work well too.
That's the chat / video calling utility in Office.
When I downloaded the 2013 preview, it came with Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. I haven't had any problems with the programs - so far...
As an IT Director, I do not allow Microsoft Access on user desktops. The typical user does not know how to design or when to use relational tables. When they crash or get so messed up that the user can no longer use them, they put in a Help Desk request to "fix it". There is often no documentation and no consistent naming convention for files, tables and fields which makes it impossible to "fix". Instead of fixing their mess, I sit with the users, figure out their needs and build a better database in SQL or set up what they usually need, a spreadsheet.
Following the link below in the "How to open Excel 2010 files in their own window", the comments on that article pointed to an Office Add-in, called Office Tab. I haven't tried it out yet, but it appears to do what I described above with regards to the tabbed functionality in Office. Not sure if you can tear a tab off and drop one on. There is a free version available for download with limited functionality. http://www.extendoffice.com/download/office-tab-free-edition.html You can download a full version for a 30 day trial. For $25, it will be nice to have at home, but it would be nicer if Microsoft would just include this functionality with Office 2013.
If I could have my neat, logical, FULLY customizable toolbars and menus from Office 2003 grafted onto a later version, I might consider the Office versions after 2003 to be an upgrade. But with the hideous, illogical, inconsistent, space-wasting ribbon and the graphically non-customizable Less-Slow-Access Toolbar, I'll stay with my superbly functional 2003. Plus, I still have my installation media that I can transfer to a new or different machine whenever necessary. By the way, I'm not an occasional user--I'm a tech writer who must power-use my office applications all day long. And to pre-empt anyone who claims I'm too lazy to learn where commands have been moved, that is not the issue. It's 4 clicks in 2007/2010/2013 where 1 did the job in 2003, and where old commands just aren't there anymore. And the other issues I've already mentioned.
Still using 2000 here (and XP, of course) :-)
One I see you didn't mention is the creation of a database that benefits a single user person. Usually that person is a lower level supervisor or manager, who creates the DB himself, then inflicts the poorly constructed forms on multiple subordinates. Said supervisor rarely has the skills to create a useful, effective tool, and he and the users spend more time troubleshooting than actually analyzing the data gathered. Eventually the creator leaves, the employees celebrate, and the database is quickly abandoned. I too quit installing Access by default, somewhere around the 2003 version. It's more prone to misuse than even PowerPoint.
I too lamented the loss of the toolbars, especially the ability to create toolbars, which I used for programs from time to time. Office 2010 is better than 2007 in the sense that it allows you to customize the ribbon, but it's just not the same. At the risk of sounding like a commercial for software, seeing that I've already promoted another one of their products below (Office Tab), have you seen this add-in that brings back the toolbars to Office? http://www.addintools.com/index.html I have not tried it, so I cannot give my opinion on it, but you can download it and trial it for free for 15 days. After that, it's $29.50 to buy (volume licensing available). There is a version for 2007 and 2010 and beyond. While you are there, check out Office Tab! I'd highly recommend it. It makes Office behave how it should because it makes all of the apps have multi-document inerface through the use of tabs. So much better for quickly moving between open files.
The one who leaves the company with no explanation of how his database is supposed to work. You held on for one more version. I canned it at Office 2000.
Addintools is almost there, but still misses my most crucial UI feature, customization. For all of Office 2003's faults, it has robust customization. Create your own toolbars, populate toolbar buttons with any command / macro / style / font / control / whatever, and customize the graphics on the buttons as desired. For example, on my widescreen monitor, I keep my Word toolbars at a short two rows high (very efficient on real estate), but I have more than 160 buttons, and there's still room for another couple dozen. I have single-click access to every command, font, and style that I might use frequently, or even infrequently, along with macros galore. All of them are in plain sight all the time and showing all their status information all the time. Compare with The Ribbon, where, if I am using commands on the Insert tab, I can't tell whether the current paragraph is formatted to "Keep with next" or not. And compare with Addintools. Can I paste unformatted text easily? It's not easier than clicking my macro-linked Paste Unformatted toolbar button, which is right after the Paste button but has a green gradient clipboard instead of a yellow one. By the way, my Excel toolbars and other Office 2003 apps have customized toolbars, too. When Addintools includes customization capabilities, or if Microsoft provides an interface that I can select to be either The Ribbon OR toolbars & menus, I'll make the change to 2010. But not to 2013 with its goofy licensing.

Those students will not be eligible for the deposit refund.
- (3) Student & VF Forms: All student & staff forms are due by this date. At this date we may have to release rooms back to the hotel and we cannot guarantee space for any teens (or staff) who have not sent in their forms.

What will we do?
- Download a sample intinerary for a Panim el Panim seminar
- Learn more about the Panim el Panim experience at the blog, written by Panim el Panim alumni!
Who can attend?
- These programs are open to all Jewish teens in 10th - 12th grade. Teens can sign up for seminars as individual participants or as part of a larger delegation. Feel free to bring a friend and share the experience together!
Are Scholarships Available?
- Scholarship funding is available for a life-changing Panim el Panim experience!
Those applying for individual scholarship should complete the Individual scholarship form and submit it by the deadline for your seminar (see date chart).
For Agencies: we are still offering limited scholarship and will be offering the same models as last year. Each agency that registers will choose one of two models:
-- Individual: Individuals may apply for need-based scholarship. We have limited funds allocated for each seminar so we won't be able to review any requests for scholarship that come in beyond the deadline. Please see the "Dates and Numbers" section above. We will preference those participants who are able to leverage scholarship from other sources and strongly encourage everyone to seek outside funding as our resources are limited. When issuing scholarship awards, PANIM looks at the following criteria: Family income, Loss of job, Number of dependent children, Single parent household, Number of children in private school/college, Elderly care, Medical expenses, Unusual expenses or financial circumstances, Location. All applicants are expected to submit a personal statement as to why they wish to attend Panim el Panim and how they will "pay it forward" upon return.
-- Agency: In lieu of the individual scholarships, an agency may opt to distribute funding on its own. We can award you a bulk amount against the total tuition due, based on the number of teens you bring. Please see the "Dates and Numbers" section above.
I see that the program has been shifted from 4 days to 3 days. How has the content shifted?
- We have retained all the core components of the traditional seminar. We extended the first and last days and removed the DC exploration / free time.
But I'm bringing a group in from quite a distance and we want to visit the US Holocaust Museum / The National Zoo / Smithsonian Museums / other tourist sites - will we still be able to do that?
- We have arranged with our new hotel to extend our room rate for a third night for any groups that wish to stay longer in DC. This will enable you to customize your group's extended stay experience. Please speak directly to your Panim coordinator to discuss options for extending your stay – we are happy to recommend Kosher restaurants, pinpoint museums to visit, and more.
Were you able to reduce the price when you tightened the schedule?
- Yes! In 2013, we were able to reduce the price by more than 25% of what we anticipated having to charge for four-day seminars that year.
This looks like a new hotel for Panim el Panim seminars. What's it like?
- This is the first time we've used the Holiday Inn Capitol. The hotel location cannot be beat – it's 2 blocks from the Capitol, there's a metro entrance across the street, and the Smithsonian mall is 1 block away. The building is shared with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – which certainly ups the "DC feel" of the location! The meeting space is good and they have been a pleasure to work with thus far. If the weather holds up, there's even an internal plaza our teens can use to relax. Of course, as with any new location, we anticipate some bumps but think the new location will be well worth it.
Will the program still be providing Kosher food? Which caterer will we be using?
- We are happy to be returning to Shalom's Kosher Catering – our provider for many years. They are under the Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington. You can find more information on them here: http://www.theshalomgroup.com/. If you have allergies or are vegetarian/vegan, please be sure to tell us on your registration form and we will follow-up with you and with the catering staff.
I'm new to all this – and I still have a lot of questions…
- Not to worry – we have a lot of answers! The best thing to do is email email@example.com. If we can't answer your questions by email, we're happy to arrange a time to talk by phone. We can also connect you with other agency professionals who have brought groups in the past.

Very simliar to Dior Homme Intense but less lipstick on it, more spicy but very close to Dior Homme Intense. Flowery, Sweet, Lipstick, smooth. It's not a bomb but very nice.

I would say that it is very similar to the original but just much stronger. It lasts ALL DAY! I can still smell this cologne in bed at night! it is very powerful when you first put in on and does not dry down fast. I really do like it and it does smell great but use sparingly.

Lawmakers divided on counterterror effort
Wednesday - 10/3/2012, 5:46pm EDT
By EILEEN SULLIVAN and MATT APUZZO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Stinging criticism from Congress about a counterterrorism effort that improperly collected information about innocent Americans is turning up the heat on the Obama administration to justify the program's continued existence and putting lawmakers who championed it on the defensive.
The administration strongly disagrees with the report's findings, and leaders of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee are distancing themselves from the report. The review criticized the multibillion-dollar network of "fusion centers" as ineffective in fighting terrorism and risky to civil liberties.
The political maneuvering by Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, is unusual because the bipartisan report was issued by their own subcommittee.
The intelligence reports reviewed by the subcommittee were produced by officials in the Homeland Security Department's Intelligence and Analysis division, which was created after the Sept. 11 attacks with the hope of connecting the dots to prevent the next terrorist strike. This division has never lived up to what Congress initially hoped for.
Lieberman and Collins were the driving forces behind the creation of the department. Fusion centers, the analytical centers intended to spot terrorism trends in every state, are held up by many as the crown jewel of the department's security efforts.
"I strongly disagree with the report's core assertion that fusion centers have been unable to meaningfully contribute to federal counterterrorism efforts," Lieberman said in a statement Wednesday, singling out six "shortcomings" in the report. Collins issued a separate statement that listed four shortcomings.
A Lieberman spokeswoman said the report came from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, rather than the full committee.
"I know that seems odd, but this is strictly a PSI report," Lieberman spokeswoman Leslie Phillips wrote in an email.
The Homeland Security Department and several major law enforcement associations also strongly disagreed with the findings. Pulling back federal money for the program would force state and local governments to cover all of the costs.
The department said the report is outdated and inaccurate. It cited specific examples of how the centers have contributed to counterterrorism efforts in major cases, including the 2010 attempted car bombing in New York City's Times Square. That's an example the subcommittee challenges in its report.
The subcommittee reviewed more than 600 unclassified reports over a one-year period and concluded that most had nothing to do with terrorism. The subcommittee chairman is Democrat Carl Levin of Michigan, and the top Republican is Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
One center cited in the investigation wrote a report about a Muslim community group's list of book recommendations. Others discussed American citizens speaking at mosques or talking to Muslim groups about parenting.
No evidence of criminal activity was contained in those reports. The government did not circulate them, but it kept them on government computers. The federal government is prohibited from storing information about First Amendment-protected activities not related to crimes.
States have had criminal analysis centers for years, but the fusion centers were set up after the 2001 attacks as officials realized that a terrorism tip was as likely to come from a local police officer as the CIA.
Though fusion centers receive money from the federal government, they are operated independently. A federal law co-sponsored by Lieberman and Collins authorized that centers cover criminal or terrorist activity.
Five years later, Senate investigators found, terrorism is often a secondary focus.
The report is as much an indictment of Congress as it is the Homeland Security Department.
"Congress and two administrations have urged DHS to continue or even expand its support of fusion centers, without providing sufficient oversight to ensure the intelligence from fusion centers is commensurate with the level of federal investment," the report said.
One of the report's recommendations is that the department needs to do a better job of tracking how its money is spent; that's a recommendation with which both Collins and Lieberman agree.
Despite that, Congress is unlikely to pull the plug because the program means politically important money for state and local governments, and Homeland Security officials are adamant that the money is well spent.
In 2010, after Faisal Shahzad was caught for trying to blow up a vehicle in New York's Times Square, fusion centers examined their own systems to see if there were any relationships with intelligence they had related to Shahzad, said John Cohen, a senior advisor to the Homeland Security secretary.
Cohen said centers in Florida and Virginia discovered individuals who had connections to Shahzad but who were unknown to the FBI. The centers shared the information with FBI investigators, Cohen said, and that produced additional leads that are still under investigation.

Full Bio
Sonja Thompson has worked for TechRepublic since October of 1999. She is currently a Senior Editor and the host of the several blogs.
Good !!!
The characters in slide 42 from left to right are Scorpion, Sonia, and Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat.
After viewing all of them I only agree the sexiest will be this one, picture 34. It has the right figure and face! The rest of them I wouldn't comment...
Hands down the most beautiful of them all. I loved her costume last year much better than her white one this year but still. WoW she has been my wallpaper all year!!!
As one who has more interest in the Trek conventions, please cover those in a future expose'.
I don't believe any one of these people were there without being paid. Not true geeks!!
that high priestess girl is katersoneseven from youtube.com
Dilng grabble sa tukrang sand staps. Uhm da periglort. Sorry!! Really nice pictures. I looked at them all. Matter of fact I wore out one eyeball. T
Next time I have a tough job on my hands I will consider putting on one of those - then I can be superman flying through difficult turbulence or cat woman clawing through my work or poison ivy girl - dare you interrupt me or just sexy me doing a tough job on my computer. Oh by the way - no one thought of dressing up as a Navi or Avatar....I think might do that for your next edition
I must agree that there is nothing overtly Geeky about the costumes, so I would suggest the title is a misnomer. However, despite the overall Heavy Metal ( not the music) tone, I love the pseudo leather in 11 and 19, and 23 can arrest me anytime !! And 26 blew me away since she is the image of a staff member here where I work, and I am going to have a "Ruff" time getting that costume dissociated from the image run together. Geek style may be a better title.
I located the link to the vlog showing her visit to the con http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF4MT_ywZSU You will see a couple of the others on the list in her vlog. You will see on her card in the video her real name is Kathleen Elliott. She is a Brit living in the US
Photo 1 is of Becky Young who did an interview at the Con in 2010 in the same costume for CraveOnlineVideo. The link below will take you to the YouTube video of her doing an interview dressed as Tinkerbell! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qogrn8Ylmz0
The person in Priest at BlizzCon 2011 photo seven is better known as Katers17. You can find her daily vlog on YouTube under the name 'Katersoneseven' with her Skits under the name Katers17. http://www.youtube.com/user/Katers17 http://www.youtube.com/user/Katersoneseven
I LOVED the imaginative outfits. I just found myself hoping that the ladies would be a bit (OK a LOT) more "full bodied"
I'd like to take her home !
What makes the subjects of these photos geeks? There's nothing about them that suggests that they have any geeky skills, knowledge or personalities.
wooooaaaawww, i missed my invitation.
We don't have time for junks ... leave such content for Facebook and other similar junk sites . Keep this site solid for solid and busy people ! Best Regards & Merry Christmas !

Are you a Geek if you are paid to be there and have the $$$ backing for an extraordinary costume? Definitely Sexy, paid or not. Discuss...;)
Sometimes you just have to chanel your inner Dick Grayson.
Why is that guy pulling a baby out her butt?
I fallen in luv probably 3-6 times in that 50... a great gallery!
I've heard of pulling a rabbit out of a hat but pulling a baby out of a but? Lol Picture 18.
All these amazing pictures, and not one picture of one of the sexiest cosplayers of all time, the amazing Belle Chere
...for more years than this gallery has pictures. Trust me - Tinkerbell has never looked so good! Not bad looking for a 53 year old fairy! :-) Sonja, nice work - and I hope those two hunks DO save your day!
21 and 34.
Whoops double post but Superman was worth a double look!
Who is the cutie in the white Superman costume!
extremely. also am I the only one who gets TechRepublic page not found randomly while clicking through the pics? Love this article.
If that was a guy I would say "He must be over-compinsating for "other" short comings" but since it is a girl ... well maybe she is envious? lol
Was that a 38 special?
In case someone was wondering what's a ICON. We too have some eye candy! http://iconsf.org/ http://www.facebook.com/#!/iconscifi
I guess that's what it takes, eh?
well you should. the girl in picture 7 is kateroneseven aka katers17 from youtube she does daily vlogs and short videos so maybe some are but she isnt just wanted to let you know this.
I beat you to it and even posted the link to her Vlog showing her attending the event. Check out my posting.

They are attendees at a geek convention. Ergo, geeks. The popular conception that geeks are non-sexual is wrong in regard to geeks of either gender. We are just more direct in our personal relationships, which non-geeks find difficult to deal with
but she didn't make this gallery (at least this year).... however, that costume certainly does have sex appeal!
is super hot :O
I've been getting 'page not found' on other articles, too. I'm also getting 'Permission Denied' errors when trying to post replies, although they usually post on the second attempt. I'll send an offering up to the PTBs. It really helps if we sacrifice a virgin, but they're tough to find around here.
We'll have to cover this in 2012.
Even NASA wallpaper never quite did it. #21 has an *amazing* costume, and #43 is clearly faster than a speeding locomotive! I'll probably never click through an entire SS again, but I'm glad I did this one; thanks for the cheap thrill, Sonja! You rock....
If this were supposedly an informative tech gallery, the replies would not be so nice... anyway, back to clicking through the images.
For some reason after I hit the submit button it did not refresh the screen and I pressed the submit button a couple more times. Don't you just love it when webpages don't work like they are meant to!
There are two silly not so super guys (not) .. the blonde gal IS SUPER.
Was that supposed to make sense? Perhaps you don't understand my reference here, but even so...
