New partnerships for developing tuberculosis vaccines and drugs are beginning to run clinical trials primarily in African countries, including South Africa and Senegal. Because these trials are for therapies meant for high TB-burden, low-income countries, they stand in contradistinction to the commercial clinical trials that have been written about by Adriana Petryna and Kaushik Sunder Rajan, among others, who document the various ethical 'variabilities' (Petryna) happening in trials using subjects in low income countries to test therapies intended for high-income markets. Yet the question still needs to be raised of the extent to which these clinical trials - even if they are more ethical - create islands of expertise and health care access that only participants and a small subset of individuals living in the region are able to access. As the anthropologist Cori Hayden has also pointed out, is it enough that no harm is done?

Chicago — While his 9-9 record doesn't reflect it, Kyle Lohse has been the Milwaukee Brewers' most consistent starter this season.
But the veteran right-hander also hasn't been immune to occasional struggles, and he finds himself in the midst of a tough stretch right now.
For the second time in three starts, Lohse was pounded — although this time by a Chicago Cubs team that was batting Nate Schierholtz cleanup and Brewers spring-training castoff Donnie Murphy sixth.
He gave up five runs in the first inning and a season-high seven overall in an uncharacteristically short five-inning stint as the Brewers played from behind all day and eventually lost, 8-5, at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon.
Two starts earlier on Aug. 27 at Pittsburgh, Lohse was rocked for a career-high 13 hits and five earned runs in a game the Brewers eventually pulled out.
"You're going to have your starts like that," said Lohse, who sandwiched his team-leading 18th quality start in between on Sunday. "You have your Adam Wainwrights...guys are going to have those starts. It is frustrating, two out of three, but I look at the season as a whole.
"That Pittsburgh game, there were some other circumstances. Things happen. This game, you're always one pitch away, good or bad. I hung two sliders — one for a three-run homer to (Neil Walker) and one for a grand slam today.
"That's two pitches that are big. That's one of my best pitches. You miss location and spin it, and it's a pretty easy pitch to hit."
As Lohse noted, it was one hung slider to Chicago's No. 7 hitter, Junior Lake, that made the difference in this one.
After allowing three consecutive singles in falling behind, 1-0, Lohse walked Ryan Sweeney to load the bases. He got Murphy to pop out for the second out, but Lake jumped all over Lohse's second offering and hammered it into the seats in left-center to give the Cubs a 5-0 lead.
"The frustrating thing was I felt I was one pitch away," Lohse said. "I just didn't make the pitch. It's frustrating. It happens. Unfortunately, it cost us the game early."
The Brewers pulled to within, 5-2, against Cubs starter Chris Rusin by the third inning on a Norichika Aoki sacrifice fly and an Aramis Ramirez home run, but the Cubs got those two runs back in the bottom of the frame with four more singles.
The fourth, which drove in two, came courtesy of Rusin and represented his first career RBI.
Lohse settled down in the fourth and fifth, but manager Ron Roenicke pulled him after 71 pitches and 11 hits.
"Sometimes you get out of whack just like a hitter does," Roenicke said. "Whether it's mentally thinking about mechanics or physically some days you just don't feel that good. We'll see what we can do to get him back going again."
The game remained interesting from the Brewers' point of view for a couple of reasons.
The first was the major-league debut of right-hander Jimmy Nelson, who pitched two perfect innings in relief of Lohse. He didn't record a strikeout, but he touched as high as 95 mph on the radar gun several times.
"First inning I really liked," Roenicke said. "Velocity was good, location was really good, down in the zone. Next inning he was up in the zone, and we were fortunate they hit some balls hard at us."
Scooter Gennett also continued to impress, hitting a three-run, pinch-hit homer in the eighth to draw Milwaukee to within, 7-5, before Chicago added another run in the bottom of the inning to cap it.
"He's doing a great job," Roenicke said.
The two teams enter play Saturday with identical 60-80 records, tied for last place in the Central Division.

Acontroversial decision granting Washington felons the right to vote has been placed on hold pending a state appeal to the Supreme Court.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the nation's largest regional court of appeals, decided Thursday to stay its decision, giving the Washington secretary of state time to appeal.
In early January the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit overturned Washington's felon disenfranchisement law on the grounds that it disproportionately affected minority groups.
The ruling opened the door for thousands of inmates, as well as those on probation or parole, to vote.
Last year, lawmakers passed a law that allows convicted felons to reregister to vote once they're no longer on parole or probation.
Previously, felons who were no longer in state custody but owed court-ordered fines and restitution were barred from voting.

Author(s): McAfee, R. Preston
ISBN 10: 0691124035. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Competitive Solutions is an entertaining and wideranging introduction to successful business methods applied to a variety of real-world situations. Rejecting the one-size-fits-all premise that underlies so many guides to business strategy, Preston McAfee develops the intellectual tools and insights needed to confront many marketplace problems. Drawing on his broad experience as a consultant for major U.S. companies, as well as extensive research, McAfee emphasizes cooperation, pricing, litigation, and antitrust as vital to a firm's competitive posture--and focuses more attention on these elements than do most business strategy accounts.
McAfee begins by considering strategy as successfully applied by America OnLine, an example that introduces many of the tools discussed in greater depth throughout the book. From here he moves to industry analysis: By examining the context for developing a strategy, he points out uses of positioning and differentiation that enable a firm to weaken price competition and deter rivals from stealing customers. McAfee's exploration of a product's life cycle proves an invaluable guide to positioning new technology in order to maximize the potential for future customers.
In the centerpiece of the book, McAfee lays out a how-to manual for cooperation, providing tactics crucial for setting standards, lobbying the government, and fostering industry growth. Writing in a conversational manner, McAfee also addresses such deep topics as organizational design and employee compensation and incentives. More detailed discussions examine antitrust enforcement, which is an increasingly important constraint on strategy, as well as strategies for pricing, bidding, signaling, and bargaining.
This book is a fascinating examination of modern business strategy and its application in many different settings. Students of business and economics--as well as executives and managers--will recognize Competitive Solutions as an indispensable resource as well as a definitive vision of the strategic firm: one in which each element of company strategy reinforces the other elements.

Rick Deming stands on the corner of the boxing ring, his arms against the ropes and a look of scorn on his face.
Ding, ding, ding.
The pudgy 50-year-old from Huntington Beach comes charging in, throwing body blows at boxing coach Raul Franco.
"You can do it," yells Franco, who is absorbing Deming's punches with mitts and a body protector. "Come on."
A small crowd cheers Deming as he continues hammering Franco with a barrage of punches.
Deming has Parkinson's and each combination he throws is a punch against a neurological disease that has robbed him of some of his movements.
Deming is a participant in Rock Steady Boxing, a new boxing workout program at American Gym in Costa Mesa designed for people living with Parkinson's disease. The program was started about six months ago by Anne Adams, a 54-year-old certified personal trainer and Rock Steady boxing coach.
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that primarily affects a person's motor skills. The disease attacks the production of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that regulates smoothness and fluidity of movement, said Dr. Janet Chance, program advisor to the Parkinson's and movement disorders program at Hoag Neurosciences Institute.
Chance said there are four motor symptoms used to diagnose Parkinson's: tremor, stiffness, slowness of movement and difficulty with balance.
Worldwide, seven to 10 million people live with the disease and about 50,000 to 60,000 cases are diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation.
At least 7,000 people in Orange County have Parkinson's disease, Chance said.
There is no cure for the disease, but it can be controlled by medication and regular exercise, she said.
"Just imagine what it would be like if you wake up tomorrow morning and have no control of your movements; that is Parkinson's," Chance said.
Adams said the theory behind the boxing program is that allowing people who live with Parkinson's to exercise and perform boxing drills slows the progress of the disease.
Adams said boxing requires a lot of multi-tasking.

Artwork created by fourth grade students at Sandy Hook Elementary School was on display for the school's Student Art Show on Thursday, May 7.
According to Sandy Hook School art teacher Leslie Gunn, who oversaw the evening event, each fourth grade student at the school had a sculpture, a diorama made with a clay piece, an acrylic painting, and a printmaking piece on display for the event.
To kick off its One School, One Read three-week event, Sandy Hook Elementary School hosted Danny Rodrigue, stage name Danny Magic, on Friday, March 13.
According to Sandy Hook School language arts consultant Cynthia McArthur, a One School, One Read committee read about 20 books before selecting this year's book, which will be read by the entire school community over the next three weeks.
Inside different rooms at Sandy Hook School during the evening of Thursday, March 12, a number of "camps" were set up for the school's Literacy Night.
Parents and students made their way through different camps throughout the evening, participating in prechosen camps from a list of options.
Due to an expected winter storm, the Friday evening performance of City of Angels, at Newtown High School, has been canceled. Pre-purchased tickets can be used at any of the other performances this weekend.
Sandy Hook Elementary School Principal Kathy Gombos told her entire student body seated inside the school's gymnasium on Tuesday, January 13, "We are all very excited…"
A few moments later Sandy Hook School math/science specialist Kris Feda introduced Bill Nye "The Science Guy" to the assembled students. Ms Feda explained that Mr Nye has made science his career and shared some highlights from his work.
2014 was a positive planning year for the new Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Consigli Construction oversaw the demolition of the old Sandy Hook School in the fall of 2013, and by 2014 plans for the new building were taking shape, following community input and work between the town and design team, led by Svigals + Partners.
Before the Thursday, December 4, evening Winter Concert performance by Sandy Hook School's fourth grade students kicked off at Newtown High School, the students rehearsed earlier in the day.
On Monday, November 24, Dr Joseph V. Erardi, Jr, superintendent of the Newtown school district, responded to the report from the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA), released Friday, November 21, saying that his first thoughts go directly to the victims' families.
"How can I offer any kind of assistance to families?" he asked.
With the 2014-15 school year underway, school clubs have begun meeting and planning activities for this school year. Each school has a few clubs in particular that seem to grow larger every year and do not fail to allure members.
Newtown High School's Best Buddies club has more than 150 students, according to Jill Gonski, advisor to the club. Best Buddies is a nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
UPDATE (11:55 am): According to an SHES parent, parents have been notified of the evacuation, and buses will be departing from the school at noon. Some parents have reportedly opted to pick up their children, but all children will be dropped off at their home, following regular bus routes.
* * * * *
According to a school district spokesperson, a "low to no level threat was received" this morning regarding Sandy Hook Elementary School.

This patent application is related to U.S. Pat. No. 6,012,683, entitled "Apparatus for Managing Cables," granted on Jan. 11, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to the field of cable and conduit management and, more particularly, to the organization and distribution of computer cables or other similar items.
2. Description of Related Art
Computer systems, for example, personal computers, servers, etc., may be coupled to peripheral and other devices for communicating information such as data, commands, addresses, etc. through a multitude of cables. Oftentimes these cables lay about in a haphazard or dangerous fashion. Cables strewn about a room in disarray offer ample opportunities for tripping over, for damaging the equipment to which they are connected, or for harming other equipment in close proximity. Moreover, cables laying in disarray may make it more difficult and time consuming to find a particular cable or circuit for equipment maintenance periods or during system downtimes. To avoid these problems, most of the current solutions to cable management and organization employ rings or trays of rectangular cross-section that hold the cables in place. These designs work well in some situations, but in some cases they are less than adequate, such as when it is desirable to substantially hide the cables or when space is limited.
Many times cables in offices are simply dropped down corners of walls and "zip-tied" together. A rectangular cross-section tray design may not fit snugly into an area (e.g., a corner) where cables will run, or may require too much space down the length of one side of an area to be sufficiently usable.
Another use of rectangular cable trays is to hide cables between areas where network drop boxes provide RJ-45 or other types of ports to plug in network cables. With rectangular boxes, the ports are either on the side of the tray where it is sometimes difficult to identify port numbers, or on top of the tray where it is easier for garbage to fall into the ports.
Thus, there exists a need for a cable management system which will avoid or reduce these problems, fit well into a confined space, be unobtrusive, and also provide for easy positioning of cables into and out from the system at particular required locations.
The invention, in one embodiment, is a method for using a device capable of carrying a cable, the device having a cover with a port. The method includes: (1) arranging the cable in the tray; (2) determining that the port is to be used to connect the cable; and (3) connecting the cable to the port.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the description of specific embodiments is not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Illustrative embodiments of the invention are described below. In the interest of clarity, not all features of an actual implementation are described in this specification. It will of course be appreciated that in the development of any such actual embodiment, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort, even if complex and time-consuming, would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.
The cable management system 10 also includes a removable cover 16 which may be affixed at snapable or bendable edges 17 a and 17 b to both upper 13 and lateral 15 edges of the tray 11 which are located distally from the surfaces 12 and 14, respectfully. The edges 17 a and 17 b of the cover 16 are curved and snap or fit over a portion of the upper 13 and lower 15 ends of the tray 11 over the full length of the elongated tray 111 in the embodiment illustrated. In alternative embodiments, the cover 16 need not cover the full length of the tray 11 provided that the uncovered portion is relatively insubstantial relative to the covered portion.
Referring also to
As shown in
Referring now to
The cable management device 10 may be made of plastic, for example, electrically insulating plastic. The combined height of the surface 12 and the section 19, and the combined width of the surface 14 and the section 21, may each be approximately two to three inches, although it is possible that other dimensions could be used. Moreover, the length of the tray 11 may be from approximately a few inches to approximately several feet long. As will be appreciated by those in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, the actual dimensions of the device 10 will depend on the particular embodiment being implemented. Further, although the surfaces 12 and 14 are continuous by virtue of their construction, they may be separate pieces fixedly joined by any suitable technique. The surfaces 12 and 14 are continuous by their integral construction whether they be of one piece or two. Moreover, the edges 17 a or 17 b of the cover 16 may instead be affixed to either one of the ends 13 or 15 of the sections 19 and 21, respectively, by a suitable hinged mechanism while the unhinged other edge may be snapped over the end 13 or 15 not having the hinged mechanism affixed.
Referring to
The cables 26 within the tray 11 of
In use, the tray 11 could easily fit horizontally along the length of the corner 30 formed between the floor 32 and the wall 34 of the room or vertically along the length of the corner between two walls, or between a ceiling and the wall, of the room. For example, the rear surface 12 could be mounted to the wall 34 and the fixed bottom surface 14 could be mounted to the floor 32 of the room with screws (not shown) in the surfaces 12 and 14. Pre-tapped screw holes could be provided or screw hole locations could be indicated in the surfaces 12 and 14 (not shown).
The device 10 could be available in various lengths to fit a given wall length or height in a room, or be connected in lengths with triangular junction boxes (not shown) in between pairs of lengths. The device 10 could be designed to allow a clean junction at room corners, for example, with corner junction boxes (not shown) for coupling the cables 26 to another device 10, another cable 26 termination point, or for the cable 26 to be routed outside the device 10 for coupling elsewhere. Moreover, in certain embodiments, the device 10 could be designed with an angle, for example, a right angle, in the tray 11 and cover 16 such that the angle would fit in the corner of the room and the device 10 would itself function as a junction box. In this case, the angle would be about a vertical axis parallel to the surface 12.
In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, shown in a perspective view in
One use of the triangular cable devices 10 or 10′ could be to hide network or other cables 26 that are run along the corners between wall and floor or ceiling, or to hide the cables 26 running up and down corners between walls. Another use of the devices 10 or 10′ could be to mount it under the working surface of a desk. This would allow the user of a workstation or computer to route monitor, keyboard, mouse, network, or other cables 26 through the trays 11 or 11′ and drop them to the workstation or computer, or to a network port. Moreover, the devices 10 or 10′ could help clear up a tangle of cables beneath the desk. The devices 10 or 10′ could also be used anywhere where a port-like device would need to be routed on a semi-permanent or permanent basis.
Referring to
Alternatively, if the ports 27 of the device 10′ are to be used in the implementation (with or without the notches 22 or 23 being present) to connect, as in block 110, the cable 26 (or more than one cable 26), the cable 26 may be connected, as in block 112, to the port 27 (e.g., using the appropriate cable 26 connector 28 which is complementary to the port 27). Hence, the cable 26 may be connected to or through the port 27 and to the cable 29 external to the cover 16′ for further connection to equipment external to the device 10′, or for termination.
The type of port 27 could vary depending on what type of cable 26 (or cord or hose), or connection is necessary, sufficient, or preferable for the particular implementation. Moreover, some ports 26 may be interchangeable, and if the device 10′ includes the notches 22 or 23, these may also be used, in similarity to implementations using device 10 as described above. Once all cables 26 are positioned, routed, or connected, or if the ports 27 (device 10′) are not used to connect the cables 26, or if the ports 27 are not included (e.g., device 10), the covers 16 or 16′ may be positioned as in block 112, as discussed, on the trays 11 or 11′ to close the devices 10 or 10′. This may be accomplished by snapping or bending the edges 17 a and 17 b of the covers 16 or 16′ over the ends 13 and 15, respectively, of the sections 19 and 21 as discussed.
In certain embodiments, the somewhat triangular cross-section of, for example, the device 10′ may allow port numbers, which may be indicated near the ports 27, to be easily read for identification by a standing person. This is possible because the cover 16′, when the tray 11′ is closed, is aligned at an angle (e.g., a 45 degree angle to vertical). The somewhat triangular cross-section of the device 10′ may also make it less likely that items (e.g., garbage, dirt, etc.) would fall into the ports 27. A small shield (not shown) could be included which prevents these items from falling into the ports.
The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the invention may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. For instance, the invention may be used to manage many forms of flexible, nonflexible, or partially flexible elongated transmission media such as coaxial cable, twisted wire pairs, optical fibers, etc., or combinations of all the above. Furthermore, no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown, other than as described in the claims below. It is therefore evident that the particular embodiments disclosed above may be altered or modified and all such variations are considered within the scope and spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the protection sought herein is as set forth in the claims below.

FCC To Test Mobile Broadband Speeds… In Due Time
For two years now, the Federal Communications Commission has been looking at terrestrial broadband services to see which DSL/cable/fiber/string-and-cans providers are actually delivering the speeds they promise. So it only makes sense for the FCC to start looking at just how quickly U.S. consumers are able to download data over mobile networks. Unfortunately, the federal government still moves at the speed of a crappy dial-up line. [More]

While the BJP and Shiv Sena are at odds over former BJP president Nitin Gadkari's overtures to the rival Raj Thackeray led MNS, the Sena- BJP's other allies in Maharashtra too are uneasy at his vibes to NCP chief and union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar. Farmer leader and Hatkanangale MP Raju Shetti and Dhangar community leader Mahadeo Jankar, who heads the Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP), have taken umbrage to Gadkari's comments about including Pawar in the NDA. These two parties are based on an anti-NCP and anti-Pawar plank and have their pockets of influence in and around Western Maharashtra.
The five-party 'Mahayuti' (grand alliance), which also includes Dalit leader Ramdas Athavale's Republican Party of India (RPI-A), hopes to breach the Congress- NCP's stronghold in the state's sugar bowl of Western Maharashtra with this rainbow coalition. "Our stance about not allowing Pawar into the NDA is very clear and this will continue," Shetti, who heads the Swambhimaani Paksha, told dna, adding that he had joined the NDA as he opposed many policies of the UPA including those of the Pawar controlled agriculture ministry. "If Pawar is admitted into the NDA, this will mean that we are supporting those very things which we opposed earlier," said Shetti, adding that this was Gadkari's personal opinion and not the official stance of the alliance. Shetti added that things would clearer if Gadkari made things clear in this regard.
Shiv Sena sources too said that statements in support of Pawar by leaders of the Mahayuti could confuse voters especially because Pawar and his party were being politically targeted by them. The idea has also be opposed by Gadkari's colleague in the BJP and former deputy chief minister Gopinath Munde, whose politics is built around his opposition to Pawar. The Sena contests most of the 22 seats from its quota against the NCP and eight of the Shiv Sena's 11 MPs have fought against NCP nominees while four NCP MPs contested against Sena candidates. "Admitting Pawar to the NDA will destroy us," said Jankar, who is contesting from Pawar's pocket borough of Baramati against his daughter and incumbent MP Supriya Sule, adding that the RSP would quit the NDA if such proposals were floated. "The RSP will actively oppose this," said Jankar, adding that the five parties had united on an anti-Pawar platform.

The Republican approach to problem solving
Call me cynical, but does it seem like whenever an issue arrises in a presidency, the republicans start suggesting war. Sarah Palin (yes, my all-time favourite person in the world</sarcasm>) has suggested that Obama will not be re-elected if he doesn't go to war with Iran. She uses phrases like 'play the war card' (and I consider playing the race card offensive. Honestly, how can she be so very cavalier about who her country invades?). This past vac, I spent ages watching war documentaries on the History Channel (in my defense, I was in Zimbabwe, and the internet didn't work. Still, History Channel rocks my socks), and noticed how very many wars America had been involved in, and how very badly they behaved. I remember weeping like a baby when I saw an interview with a Japanese woman who was telling the story of how she lost her son in Hiroshima (and had to identify his remains). Here is an interesting link detailing every international American military incident.

Ubuntu 10.04 Hit By Major Bug; ISOs Now Being Re-Spun
While Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is scheduled for release today, development of this "Lucid Lynx" release has not been as optimal as many would have liked. There had been many upset over Lucid's use of the Linux 2.6.32 kernel rather than the newer 2.6.33 release and the extensive back-porting that has went on, among other items to cause concern for some users. Last week they were then hit by a serious memory leaking issue within the X.Org Server, which fortunately has now been fixed in time for the release. But now we are onto a new issue. Rather than the Canonical crew and Ubuntu developers around the world spending today celebrating the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, they are busy re-spinning some of the ISOs due to a new "critical" bug.

Ubuntu 10.10 For Netbooks To Have A Single Menu
Since rolling out Ubuntu Netbook Remix two years ago, Canonical has invested a great deal in improving this netbook-focused spin of Ubuntu to work well on such mobile platforms as it competes with Moblin / MeeGo and others. Developers have worked on making a functional yet innovative user-interface (including ARM-specific UI work), hardware optimizations, and tweaking various applications to run on the less-powerful and smaller devices. With Ubuntu 10.10, more changes are coming to the netbook edition.

Beta 2 Arrives For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx"
In just three weeks Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" will be released, but before that happens there is a final beta and one release candidate that needs to make it out into the hands of Ubuntu testers. Today the second beta release is here and ready for testing. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Beta 2 really isn't anymore interesting than the first beta that came towards the middle of March, but there are bug-fixes and a few remaining updated packages (like for the GNOME 2.30.0 desktop).

Ubuntu's Yahoo Affair Lasted Only Three Months
Back in January we reported that Yahoo! would become the default search engine for Mozilla Firefox found in the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This was because of a revenue sharing agreement between Yahoo and Canonical off the advertisements shown within the search results when using the Yahoo search engine in Ubuntu. Up to this point Google was the default search engine as it is by default with Firefox, but in a last minute change, Google is back in bed with Canonical and will be the premiere search engine for Ubuntu 10.04.

More Backporting Madness: X Server 1.8 To 1.7
With Ubuntu 10.04 LTS shipping with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel rather than the latest stable release (the Linux 2.6.33 kernel), there has been some back-porting of code to this older release. The Lucid Lynx is using the 2.6.32 kernel since this is a Long-Term Support release and so Canonical and the Ubuntu kernel team has been more conservative this time around.

Ubuntu 10.04 May Backport More Kernel DRM
The decision to stick with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel rather than the soon to be released Linux 2.6.33 kernel for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that will be released in April is leading to a few more headaches for those involved with packing X.Org and the graphics components for the Lucid Lynx release.

Plans were laid out for an Ubuntu One Music Store and the first packages to support this in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS are now available.

Enlightement Used On Ubuntu Netbook ARM
There's an ARM architecture port of Ubuntu Netbook Remix to support the growing number of netbooks and other mobile devices out there that are shipping with ARM CPUs. Unfortunately, most of the ARM devices out there lack any open-source graphics support especially for 3D acceleration, which hampers the nice Clutter-based interface found on the x86 spin of Ubuntu Netbook Remix. To circumvent this problem and to make a Ubuntu Netbook Remix ARM interface available to the masses, Canonical has written a new interface. To achieve the same graphical beauty but without 3D acceleration they turned to the Enlightenment project and their libraries.

Ubuntu 10.04's Nouveau Stack Gets Ready
One of the slated features for Ubuntu 10.04 early on in its development cycle was support for the Nouveau graphics driver on NVIDIA hardware since it's much better than the xf86-video-nv driver mess and has a much brighter future, which is especially important with 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" being a Long-Term Support (LTS) release. This was prior to Nouveau going mainline with Linux 2.6.33, but Ubuntu Lucid is running with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel so as a result Nouveau's DRM was back-ported.

Ubuntu Has Another Special ATI Catalyst Driver?
The past three releases of Ubuntu Linux have included unreleased ATI Catalyst drivers. It started with Ubuntu 8.10, which got an early-access driver as the official Catalyst Linux driver that was available to the public at the time had not supported X Server 1.5. With Ubuntu 9.04, AMD was running behind at supporting X Server 1.6 as found in the Jaunty Jackalope, so it too received an early ATI driver. Ubuntu 9.10 also received an early Catalyst for Linux driver more than a month in advance to provide compatibility with the Linux 2.6.31 kernel. It looks like this will happen a fourth time with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" running with the X.Org Server 1.7.x series, which isn't yet supported by the Catalyst driver even though it was released back in October.

Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS Update Released
Ubuntu 10.04 may be just around the corner and it will be a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, which means it will be supported longer on desktops and servers than normal releases, but Canonical still has contractual obligations to continue supporting the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS release too. Canonical is supporting the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron" on desktops until 2011 and server installations will continue to receive love until 2013. As the final maintenance release where they re-spin the various 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs, Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS has been released.

Canonical's Rick Spencer has written about two small changes that are happening to Mozilla Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04. The first is the default Ubuntu home-page with its search box in Firefox will now follow whatever the user has set as their default search engine in Firefox. The second change is that Canonical is changing the default search engine for Firefox in Ubuntu to Yahoo.

Updates Coming For Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
Canonical's Jos Boumans has sent out an e-mail on the Ubuntu development mailing list to outline some of the new plans going forward for Ubuntu Server with the 10.04 release. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 came out just nine days ago, but Jos is hoping to incorporate these new Ubuntu Server changes prior to the Alpha 3 release that is scheduled for the end of February.

Bradley to Pacquiao: You better be ready
LAS VEGAS—Just when their final press conference was about to wrap up without fireworks, Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao lit up some sparks.
During their face-off, the loudmouth Bradley initiated the verbal exchange that lasted for 10 seconds at the center of Hollywood Theatre at MGM Grand here Wednesday.
Pacquiao answered back with nary a pause.
Nobody heard them talking, but it reportedly went like this:
Bradley: Are you ready?
Pacquiao: Yes, I am ready.
Bradley: Are you sure you're ready?
Pacquiao: Yes, I am ready.
Bradley: You better be ready.
Pacquiao: Yes, I am ready.
Then they stared at each other without blinking and shook hands before heading back to their corners.
Disgusted Arum
If there was genuine hatred between the protagonists for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title fight on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at the MGM Grand Arena here, they acted good enough to hide it.
Venerable promoter Bob Arum couldn't hide his disgust with MGM officials for a serious affront they committed.
Instead of Pacquiao-Bradley II being displayed all over the hotel and casino, it was the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-versus-Marcos Maidana tussle on May 3 that was being shown.
2-1 favorite
The 82-year-old Arum said Pacquiao-Bradley was a much more competitive fight, with sports book putting the eight-division world champion from the Philippines a 2-1 favorite.
In contrast, oddsmakers have installed Mayweather a 15-1 favorite over Maidana.
Only the fact that the grudge rematch between Pacquiao and Bradley, to be shown on HBO pay-per-view (PPV), was sure to be a sellout put a smile back on Arum's face.
PPV superstar
According to Arum, only about a thousand tickets are left and they are sure to be gobbled up in the last three days.
HBO's Mark Taffet lauded Pacquiao as a PPV superstar.
Taffet said Pacquiao's 18 PPV fights have generated a total of 12.2 million buys for a whopping $660 million in revenues.
With Pacquiao-Bradley II expected to hit a million buys, Pacquiao should breach the $700 million mark.
Fight of the Year?
WBO president Paco Valcalcel said it could be the Fight of the Year.
Bradley's showdown with Ruslan Provodnikov was also explosive enough for the Fight of the Year award.
Pacquiao, who is guaranteed $20 million, will be making his 11th appearance at MGM Grand, while Bradley, who's guaranteed $6 million, will be making his third.
Next fight in Macau
In their first fight, Pacquiao got $25 million while Bradley pocketed $5 million.
With Top Rank's relationship with MGM strained, Arum intends to bring Pacquiao's next fight to The Venetian in Macau in November.
Win over Pacquiao brought dark days for Bradley

Customer reviews
Nice story but simplistic puzzlessergebelanger22 | Dec. 17, 2014 | See all sergebelanger22's reviews »
This game went under the radar for a lot of people, including me. However, as soon as I started it, I liked it.
I really like the visual design of it. That may be a con for some people, but not me. I think that you like or not that style.
The story is very interesting, from the begining to the last second of it. Sensitive heart refrain. The end was not made by Disney.
That being said, the gameplay is really basic. It is made of few simplistic puzzles. Sometimes you need some objects to open a door or to fire some dynamites, but you never really get stuck. You play few characters, which have different objects in their hands which adds a little variety to the game.
There are plenty of objects to collect in the various levels. Each of them have an element of history attached to them, which is nice for history lovers like me. You can see how many there are in each levels, which are not too long, so you can replay them and try to find them all. I personnally was able to find each of them without too much difficulty. It took around 10 hours total.
If you like good stories and learn part of the history, this game is definitely for you. You will learn a lot of fun facts on the First Great War and see that there was no mercy at that time.
Great Game!884okeoJ | July 8, 2014 | See all 884okeoJ's reviews »
Valiant Hearts explores an area rarely explored in video games, that of the first World War. It is primarily a puzzle game that focuses heavily on story telling and artistic merit. In those ways, this game passes with flying colors. The hand-drawn graphics add a lot to the game, and the story is absolutely fantastic. It makes you care about the characters in a way not many games these days do.
The weak part of the game is the gameplay. The puzzles are all fairly rudimentary, and there are no innovative mechanics. That being said, this is not a game which relies on addictive gameplay, more on story. In conclusion, Valiant Hearts is a great story based game that is a definite buy for anyone looking for a World War 1 game.
A great and emotional gameSharkiller | July 7, 2014 | See all Sharkiller's reviews »
This game is just perfect in its kind.
Since you start the game you feel the atmosphere of World War. When a sequence starts the game gives you genuine information about the war, you learn fun facts while you play, important dates, important events, and so on, by playing what is done is revive a parallel step, ie, relive the story from everyday life, which is extremely interesting.
That's why the game is perfect ... more than graphics and gameplay, you give a general sweep accompanied by fun facts for the Great War, obviously not replace the book but I think everyone would have actual notion of what was the great war.
GAMEPLAY: 8 For the first time I see a game in my life about war that is not based on fire bullets and thats nice. Maybe there is more, but this game have something special. Not a 10 because have some stucks here and there.
GRAPHICS: 8 In its class is a real gem, how drawings are managed are fantastic in its simplicity, and animations you always immersed in the middle of a life-style comics. Not a 10 because could be more differences between characters.
SOUND 10 The music is great. Some levels you have to play to the beat of the music, great music, and is fantastic. The voices that narrates the story are great too.
INNOVATION 10 The game is unique on his kind. Is very immersive and addictive.
100% recommended to play.
Valiant Hearts: A Sad Disappointmentmrminecrafter1 | June 24, 2014 | See all mrminecrafter1's reviews »
I really had high hopes for this game. The storytelling is really fantastic in this game as well as the artistic style. It's more like a comic book than a video game overall. There are hardly any mechanics in the game and the ones that do exist are barely passable. I love story-driven games but a bit more gameplay and the game would've done better. Soundtrack and sound is excellent. The game overall isn't as great as I wished. Unfortunately, this game doesn't stand out. Recommended for people who look for story-driven games.

If you ask Tionna Smalls the best way to hold on to your man is to let him know you don't need him.
Love coach Tionna is telling girls to toughen up in her new book, Men Love Abuse. But before you think she's telling you to haul off and box with your boo, Tionna wants to make it clear that she's not talking about physical abuse.
"I never advocate for domestic violence," she clarified. "It just simply means that a man likes a challenge. A man doesn't like a girl that is all in his face. A man doesn't appreciate a girl that stops her whole life just to make him happy."
The idea for Men Love Abuse came from Tionna's everyday life. After seeing her get Chilli to think about her love life more realistically on VH1's "What Chilli Wants," all kinds of folks have been clamoring for her advice.
"Ever since I did 'What Chilli Wants,' people approach me all day and they just tell me their love problems," Tionna told S2S. "People were, once again, telling me their problem[s] with men. I said that, 'You know what y'alls problem is? You don't understand that men love abuse.'"
After she posted that though on Twitter, there was a flood of re-tweets that stirred up a conversation. There were "guys answering, girls replying." That sparked the idea for her to write up some guidelines for love.
In Tionna's experience, she noticed that the women who give up everything for a man, wind up alone because they don't have anything going on for themselves outside of the relationship. A woman can't be in her beau's face all the time, and she can't be at his beck and call.
"Guys like the girl that ignores them. The girl that doesn't play with them. The girl that has options," she explained. "A man can't be the main priority of your day. And, with most women, a man is their main priority."
And it wouldn't be a bad idea for women to have something to keep themselves busy. Working towards your goals is sexy and that means that sometimes your man may have to wait for a minute. "Never let a man have too much access to you," said Tionna. If he's really into you, he'll stick around and he'll be glad for the time that you carve out for him. That's one way to let him know that he's a priority in your life, but that he's not the only thing your in life.
Hope is not lost for nice girls, though. "Men like nice girls. It's just about how nice are you," she explained. "Are you so nice that you become stupid? It's a limit that you should have."
Yes, much like a rose, Tionna feels that it's okay to be sweet but one should use her thorns when necessary. "Some women are just naturally nice, but you've got to learn how to turn that b*tch switch on sometimes," said Tionna who advises that being a little tough every now and then is a good way to maintain respect in a relationship.
Tionna stresses, though, that the best way to command respect is to know your worth. "Do you want to know what the main thing is? It's the self-esteem," Tionna said. "They're going to treat you, the way you treat yourself."
In fact, Tionna points out that the amount of regard a man gives you, lets you know how he really feels. "A man that loves you, respects you," she explained.
In Men Love Abuse, she also details a few rules that every woman should follow if she wants to get and keep a good relationship that is truly fulfilling for her. For example, Tionna suggests that you should not cook for a man that has not established a relationship with you.
"No title, no chicken," she said. "You don't cook for a guy that you're dating. You don't know nothing about this guy to be sitting here and cooking for him. He needs to earn that. If he wants you to cook for him, he'll make you his girl."
Tionna also wants women to "save the suck" (we trust that you know what she's talking about) and make a hasty exit when a man starts texting while you're on a first date.
Don't take her advice too far, though. There's definitely a limit to how bad you can be. "You can't be too b*tchy," she said. "There's rules to the game; I don't want women to walk around here like a raging b*tch. No man wants that either. It's about balance."
For more of Tionna's tips about how to get the kind of relationship you really want, pick up Men Love Abuse, in stores now.
But if you're still lost about your love life, why not just ask Tionna for a little help directly? The love coach will be answering your questions in our upcoming relationship column "Tionna Says."
Send in your questions to email@example.com, and see what she's got to say about your situation.

10.02.08 - By Frank Gonzalez Jr.: Congratulations to the new WBO Welterweight Champion, Carlos El Indio Quintana (25-1, 19 KOs), who challenged Paul The Punisher Williams (33-1, 24 KOs) and came up big against the biggest, most feared fighter at Welterweight. Who really thought that the man who quit on his stool after five bruising rounds with Miguel Cotto would be the man to beat the man nobody wanted to fight. Williams phone will be ringing off the hook now.
Maybe Paul Williams just had a bad day or is not accustomed to fighting other skillful Southpaws but whatever it was, the story of this fight was Quintanas left hand and his ability to move in and out of range to tag Williams with clean punches all night. I want to give a shout out to the Judges for their honesty in scoring this fight. This is good for boxing..
Sporting a Mohawk, Paul Williams entered the ring weighing 164 pounds after officially weighing in at 146. Sporting a serious case of five oclock shadow, Carlos Quintana came in at 158 and he had a plan. He studied the Williams Margarito fight and thought that if Margarito could hit Williams, he would hit him more. And he did.
After Paul Williams beat the man no one wanted to fight, (Antonio Margarito) last July, Williams developed a mystique of his own and in todays boxing, image is everything. Even the mighty Floyd Mayweather Jr. dismissed the question of fighting Williams, saying he has nothing left to prove and hes going to be a promoter now (except for an extra multi-million dollar purse to fight De La Hoya again). The blatant business trumps competition mentality of todays fighters is truly inspirational. Where yesterday I thought Williams vs. Mayweather Jr. had to happen, now, Im not so sure Williams really is as good as I thought he was. He might even get a call from Floyd after his lack luster performance Saturday night.
Aside from his convincing win over Joel Julio in June of 2008, Quintana was, until last night, best remembered for his embarrassing loss to fellow Puerto Rican, WBA champion Miguel Cotto in December of that same year. After being dominated for five rounds Quintana quit on his stool. He didnt fight for another 13 months when he returned to the ring for a tune up fight with 23-18 Christopher Henry. He won by TKO in four before stepping way back up to face the likes of The Punisher. Not known for his stamina, Quintana looked ready for tall Paul when the first bell rang to start the fight. Quintana had everything to gain fighting the man nobody wants to fight, redemption and a World Title that will make him lots of money the next time he fights.
The Fight
Round One
An action packed round with Quintana showing no fear of Williams. Quintana was able to land clean shots, mostly left hands. Williams landed some jabs and was imposing as he stood so much taller than Quintana and referee Jack Reis. There were a lot of exchanges and Quintana was getting the better shots off consistently. Williamss lengthy arms were too long to be effective at the distance Quintana was affording him. Quintana landed a clean uppercut to the face of Williams. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Two
Quintana started out landing a clean right and was generally landing the better punches. Williams was having trouble landing anything more than little arm punches with little power. Quintana landed a flush left that stunned Williams, who was unable to hurt Quintana because Quintana was always quick to slip under and away from the much taller Williams. Quintana simply out boxed Williams. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Three
Williams revved up the aggression and pressured Quintana. They both scored in spots during exchanges. Williams looked awkward at times as Quintana showed superior defense and always managed to land a right, overhand left combo as they turned. As good as Quintana was doing, he did look a bit tired, especially so early in the fight. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Four
Quintana scored immediately to start the fourth round with another left to the face. As they boxed, Quintana landed his right hook a few times. Williams picked it up and landed some decent shots late in the round as he pressed the action as Quintana was constantly moving. Quintana did land the better shots and it was a close round but Quintana landed more often and boxed more effectively. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Five
Quintana landed a good body shot early. Williams was in excellent condition and showed a great chin considering how often he was being hit. Williams kept the pressure on but could only manage to land grazing punches. Before the round ended, Quintana landed another right, overhand left combo. Quintanas movement kept Williams out of sync. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Six
Williams finally landed a big left hook that stunned Quintana, who was looking tired. Quintana landed that same combo of right, overhand left to the face and was successful. Williams was always too close or too far to put anything on his punches, which were most times, ineffective. Williams was busy and being aggressive but Quintanas movement, slick offense and timing continued to be the difference as round six came to a close. 10-9 Quintana. A shutout so far on my card.
(Williams corner instructed him to put non stop pressure on Quintana and to use his jab more to set things up.)
Round 7
Williams pressured Quintana and was landing soft punches. Quintana landed a nice right uppercut. Williams nose bled but he kept moving forward and eventually landed a clean right to the face of Quintana, who was starting to hold more often since it was a good way to score inside and get some oxygen in the process. Williams was mostly throwing arm punches, working hard and even managed to catch Quintana with some decent shots in the last moments of the round. It was Williams best round of the fight and I gave it to him. 10-9 Williams.
Round Eight
Williams was more intense in round eight, which saw him land more arm punches and grazing shots that werent hurting Quintana, but they were scoring. Quintana was fighting lazy, moving away and coming back with a bit less steam than earlier. He did land a good shot to the body early on. Williams is tough, he took all Quintana could deliver and never looked shaken. He was cut over his left eye but that wasnt the problem so much as he simply couldnt get into any kind of sustainable groove. Williams was working harder and out hustled Quintana in the eighth. Quintana landed a clean left then a clean left hook but it wasnt enough to win the round. 10-9 Williams.
(Between rounds, Quintanas face looked unmarked but he looked exhausted. Williams eye was being attended, bleeding from a gash on the right side, his left cheek swollen but he looked fresh and ready to go.)
Round Nine
Quintana looked sluggish but landed a straight left then a left hook. Williams chased him with pressure and had a few good moments. Quintana started tasting leather as Williams mounted a respectable attack until Quintana found his face with that same right, overhand left combination that was working all night. Williams was definitely in better shape at this juncture of the fight but he still couldnt find an answer to Quintanas effective counter punching. Quintana landed a few more lefts as Williams kept coming forward. 10-9 Quintana.
Round Ten
Williams was landing more often than before but still without much pop, mostly because of the in and out range presented by Quintana, who continued to do more of the same; landing counter punches that were scoring points. Williams did use his jab effectively for a while but Quintana found a way away from it. Williams kept pressing but Quintanas defense and counter punch tactic was the difference again. Williams was now cut over both eyes. 10-9 Quintana.
Round 11
More of the same, with Williams pressing and Quintana moving and looking for counter opportunities, which came often. Quintanas punches were clean, Williams were not. Quintana was landing at a very high percentage and clinching when Williams threatened to change things. Williams defensive skills are nothing to brag about. Again Quintana landed several left hands in the waning moments of the eleventh round. 10-9 Quintana.
(Quintanas corner told him he had to win the final round, they probably figured they wouldnt get a fair shake with the Judges against the big star on the rise, Paul Williams.)
Round Twelve
Quintana suddenly looked energetic, bouncing around and taking a few shots in the process. Williams was busier and obviously aware that he needed a great round to lend credibility to any potential gifts by the Judges. The truth was, Williams needed a knockout to win. Though he won the final round with a gallant effort for the full three minutes, it wasnt enough to win the fight. 10-9 Williams.
Quintana stood up on the corner ropes after the final bell sounded and the crowd erupted with cheers of approval. Strangely, HBOs Harold Lederman had it 115-113 for Williams. Maybe Harold was having as bad a night as Williams was. The Official Judges scored it 115-113 and 116-112 twice all in favor of Carlos Quintana.
Amazing! They got it right.
* *
During the post fight interview, Quintana credited Paul Williams as a good fighter and said he might have knocked him out but was having problems with his breathing (he was winded!). When asked what he wanted to do next, he said he was going to celebrate for now and think about his future afterwards.
Williams was asked what happened, and if he felt overconfident coming into this fight and he said, Im never overconfident and I wouldnt take anything away from Quintana. He showed up tonight. He was clearly disappointed with his performance. When asked what Quintana did to throw him off his rhythm he said, Quintana didnt do anything to throw me off my rhythm. Quintana was able to execute his game plan and I didnt execute mine because I didnt go to the body enough andit was just one of those nights where I didnt perform like I normally perform.
This loss should be beneficial to Williams, who will study the tapes and hopefully correct some of the flaws he exposed Saturday night. Maybe he would do well to move up to the 154 pound division where hed be stronger.
On the under card, top welterweight prospect Andre Berto (21-0, 18 KOs) made easy work of Germanys Michel Trabant (43-3-1, 17 KOs) who rarely threw punches and quit on his stool after the sixth round in what looked more like bad match making than Berto being all that dominant a fighter. Berto has some skills, hes energetic, throws lots of combinations and can excite the crowd but his people have to come up with better competition than guys like Trabant, who never looked like he was there to win the fight. For todays fighters that fight less than three times a year, this was a terrible waste of time for Andre Berto
and for the fans watching.
Andre Berto vs. Paul Williams would be an interesting match up and a great way for Williams to shake off the sour taste from the Quintana loss. For Berto, he might want to practice fighting southpaw, who knows, maybe Williams isnt as good as we thought he was? Other than Margarito, who has Williams beaten worthy of mention? An old Sharmba Mitchell, whos what, five feet, four inches tall? Maybe his TKO win over Walter Matthysse, who went on to lose two of his next three fights?
Congratulations to Carlos Quintana, the new WBO Welterweight champion, who proved that speculation dont mean jack. Nobody expected him to win and yet he found the way to pull it off. The bottom line is that nobody can beat anybody until they actually get in the ring and do it.
When Carlos Quintana finishes all the celebrating, hes going command some big paydays after what he accomplished Saturday night. He deserves it.
