Thomas Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem. As with many others in his neighborhood, Thomas Sowell left home early and did not finish high school. The next few years were difficult ones, but eventually he joined the Marine Corps and became a photographer in the Korean War. After leaving the service, Thomas Sowell entered Harvard University, worked a part-time job as a photographer and studied the science that would become his passion and profession: economics.
After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1958), Thomas Sowell went on to receive his master's in economics from Columbia University (1959) and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago (1968).
In the early '60s, Sowell held jobs as an economist with the Department of Labor and AT&T. But his real interest was in teaching and scholarship. In 1965, at Cornell University, Sowell began the first of many professorships. Thomas Sowell's other teaching assignments include Rutgers University, Amherst College, Brandeis University and the University of California at Los Angeles, where he taught in the early '70s and also from 1984 to 1989.
Thomas Sowell has published a large volume of writing. His dozen books, as well as numerous articles and essays, cover a wide range of topics, from classic economic theory to judicial activism, from civil rights to choosing the right college. Moreover, much of his writing is considered ground-breaking -- work that will outlive the great majority of scholarship done today.
Though Thomas Sowell had been a regular contributor to newspapers in the late '70s and early '80s, he did not begin his career as a newspaper columnist until 1984. George F. Will's writing, says Sowell, proved to him that someone could say something of substance in so short a space (750 words). And besides, writing for the general public enables him to address the heart of issues without the smoke and mirrors that so often accompany academic writing.
In 1990, he won the prestigious Francis Boyer Award, presented by The American Enterprise Institute.
Currently Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute in Stanford, Calif.
This is the season of college graduations, and many people may be wondering what kinds of gifts would be most appropriate for young people leaving the world of academia and heading out to face the challenges and opportunities of adulthood in the real world.
In a recent panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama gave another demonstration of his mastery of rhetoric -- and disregard of reality.
Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri -- but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by the demonstrable fact that a fleeing black man was shot dead by a white policeman in South Carolina.
We all make mistakes and some of us learn from them. What is even better is to learn from other people's mistakes, where they pay for those mistakes while we learn free of charge.
Painful as it is to realize that both the Democrats and the Republicans will still be holding their primaries a year from now, that is one of the high prices we pay for democracy.
How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things?
By abandoning virtually all its demands for serious restrictions on Iran's nuclear bomb program, the Obama administration has apparently achieved the semblance of a preliminary introduction to the beginning of a tentative framework for a possible hope of an eventual agreement with Iran.
Recent statements from United Nations officials, that Iran is already blocking their existing efforts to keep track of what is going on in their nuclear program, should tell anyone who does not already know it that any agreement with Iran will be utterly worthless in practice. It doesn't matter what the terms of the agreement are, if Iran can cheat.
An op-ed piece titled "Conservatives, Please Stop Trashing the Liberal Arts" appeared last week in the Wall Street Journal. But it is not conservatives who trashed the liberal arts.
It is not often that the leader of a small city-state -- in this case, Singapore -- gets an international reputation. But no one deserved it more than Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore as an independent country in 1959, and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990. With his death, he leaves behind a legacy valuable not only to Singapore but to the world.
It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, and it was addressed to two Democrats. He asked what has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished.
It is fascinating to see brilliant people belatedly discover the obvious -- and to see an even larger number of brilliant people never discover the obvious.
When Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress on March 3rd, it was the third time he had done so. The only other person to address a joint session of Congress three times was the legendary British prime minister Winston Churchill.
The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of Michael Brown. The first report, about "the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson" ought to be read by every American.
When President Obama keeps talking about "violent extremists" in the abstract, you might wonder whether Presbyterians are running amok.
There may be some poetic justice in the recent revelation that Hillary Clinton, who has made big noises about a "pay gap" between women and men, paid the women on her Senate staff just 72 percent of what she paid the men. The Obama White House staff likewise has a pay gap between women and men, as of course does the economy as a whole.
The firestorm of denunciation of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark -- especially at a time when there are much bigger issues, including wars raging, terrorist atrocities and a nuclear Iran on the horizon.
When Alfred E. Neuman said "What me worry?" on the cover of Mad magazine, it was funny. But this message was not nearly as funny coming from President Barack Obama and his National Security Advisor, Susan Rice.
Opponents of charter schools have claimed that these schools are "cherry-picking" the students they admit, and that this explains why many charter schools get better educational results with less money than public schools do.
The current controversy over whether parents should be forced to have their children vaccinated for measles is one of the painful signs of our times. Measles was virtually wiped out in the United States, years ago. Why the resurgence of this disease now?

I had a Montgomery 17 for a short period of time. I was really impressed by the boat and would love to own another. They are VERY stout little boats. I don't know if I would circumnavigate in one but I'm sure the boat is up to it (with a few mods). There have been at least a couple of M15's that have sailed from California to Hawaii. Great boat, shallow draft, has a port-a-potty, sink, and can set up a small galley. The V-berth is pretty comfortable. On top of all that, they sail nicely and are pretty dry.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, I think more tournaments should be counted but to compare the UNI Open to the Penn State Open is a little bit of a stretch.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, I think more tournaments should be counted but to compare the UNI Open to the Penn State Open is a little bit of a stretch.
Why? So we can debate which redshirts would or wouldn't be ranked? Don't sweat it. I'll just change leagues rather than try to debate you on everything. I'd prefer the drop/add concept anyway so I don't get stuck with 4 125s for half a season bc of injuries, redshirts, suspensions etc. No big deal. I said I don't blame anyone but given my choices I'll go with the league that's a bit more interactive and forward thinking next year.
I don't dislike our supplemental setup, but I have wondered if maybe a drop/add system might be worth a try for next year. It seems like it works quite well in Gold's league
I'm not wedded to the concept (I'm wedded to very few things) if people want to dump the supplemental for a year we'd figure things out.
In the Gilby league we have decided to count every match your guy wrestles next year. It becomes to problematic trying to set a lineup not knowing who is going to wrestle in some of these early season gigs.
The supplemental would come in handy one week after we drafted, as information was coming in, we could potentially set up a round or two supplemental, it would take like an hour.
Then from there go to a 5 drop/add system perhaps? Ten seems like a LOT and you'd have a hard time managing that piece of it. And no, I meant for next year, not this year. I've already made my bed, now I need to lie in it.
I started out in Zapp's league and the add/drops saved my ass. Maybe we could incorporate the supp by having say 3-5 drop adds ? I had no way of knowing Koehn would lose his spot nor Martinez would start a life of crime, a few drop adds would have been invaluable.

Republicans have got to convince blue collar voters the party cares--or well never win another election, Rick Santorum maintains, and we wont deserve to.
The former Pennsylvania senator and 2012 Republican presidential candidate is promoting his new book, Blue Collar Conservatives. In an op-ed in the Daily Caller, Santorum argued that Republicans like to quote John F. Kennedys observation that a rising tide lifts all boats. But what about the millions of Americans whose boats are full of holes?
Working families want to believe there is still opportunity for a good life in America. They seek stability and security. They want their children to go to good schools, get decent jobs, and build families of their own.
Above all, they want reassurance that despite these hard times, the American dream is still alive for them. But neither party seems to hear them. When will politicians recognize that these working people are just as important to our economy and our country as the entrepreneur or corporate executive?
Democrats, Santorum says, have failed to revive the economy for these people.
As a result, he said, Republicans need to remember the old adage that people dont care what you know until they know that you care. Its important to encourage job creators, to replace Obamacare, and to control government spending. But if we dont step up for Americas working families, well never win another national election. And we wont deserve to.

Penfolds Bin 2, first vintage 1960, was the result of experimental work by Penfolds winemakers to create a medium-bodied, soft-finishing "Australian Burgundy" style, based on Shiraz. Mourvedre grapes were added to soften the Shiraz's intense varietal characters.
Bin 2 reflects Penfolds' multi-region, multi-vineyard blending policy, which enables winemakers to reduce the impact of vintage variation and produce consistent wines every vintage.
Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange, relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator's 'Wine of the Year'. Since then, Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover, once again, of Wine Spectator, with declarations of Grange as Australia's Icon

Hamilton International wins state competition for Youth Art Month
For the second straight year, Hamilton International Middle School has won the state competition for the Youth Art Month flag.
The winning designers were Jessie Ma and Tiffany Shen. The contest was sponsored by the Washington Art Education Association.
The artwork – representing the four art disciplines for Washington state – will be made into a flag. This flag, as well other works from Hamilton students, will be traveling to Fort Worth, Texas to be displayed March 6-10 at the national convention of the National Art Education Association (NAEA). Last year, Hamilton's artwork was displayed in New York City at the national convention.
The artwork of the following students were selected for the Youth Art Month state flag and the Youth Art Month Museum for the NAEA conference.
• Lindsay Denny
• Matreya Teichrow
• Michiko Wild
• Emma Boyd
• Ella Murray
• Mia Lorentsen
The flag and art works will later be brought back to Washington state, where they will be part of the opening ceremony for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's regional art show in Olympia.
After the show, the flag will hang in the Old Capital building, alongside last year's winner from Hamilton.

Regarding that...
For Lesnar/HHH? Hell in a Cell or 'winner gets control of WWE'.
They were originally considering an MMA style match, but that was quickly axed. I'm betting it'll be Triple H winning, so if they'd settled on an MMA match, that would automatically be the worst match of the PPV, due to how unbelievable it'd be.
WWE officials are considering three or four different stipulations but they had not decided on anything as of Monday night's RAW. It's possible we won't find out the stipulation until the March 25th or April 1st RAW.
Posted 13 March 2013 - 14:18
Booker T announced on WWE Smackdown that Sheamus, Randy Orton, and Ryback will face The Shield at Wrestlemania 29. It should be noted that The Big Show was trying to be the man chosen by Sheamus and Orton, but they chose Ryback.
Later on in the night, Ryback was brutally attacked by The Shield. Mark Henry would hit 3 World's Strongest Slams on Ryback, leaving him laying in the ring. Do not be surprised if this match that was made "official" changes once again next week.
Posted 13 March 2013 - 16:17
Thoughts on this potential match?
On Monday, WWE officials discussed having Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan for the WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 29. This is why Langston attacked Daniel Bryan. By what happened at the SmackDown tapings last night, it looks like they are moving forward with this plan.
Posted 13 March 2013 - 16:56
Even if he and Big E won the tag titles at WM, three months will still be more than enough time to lose them, go back to singles matches and cash in. I'll just be glad if teaming up with Big E means he won't be jobbing for a little while.
He'd be wasted again in tag team competition imo

So Rock is untouchable.
WWE made the decision to keep John Cena off of RAW because they didn't want to draw attention to The Rock not being there according to PWInsider.com.
There was consideration on having Cena cut a promo in the ring but WWE decided that would make the WWE Champion look weak if he couldn't come out and respond.

Forgotten Realms Roleplaying
> Troubles of the Past (OOC/Recruitment)
The other day I had a sudden urge to revive one of my old characters. I'm not nostalgic, but man i used to be... *stares off in the distance* Heh heh.
Laucian was originally created for Exile's "The Legacy" RP. We never did bring an end to that story, and it ended abruptly. So, Exile, Shal, or Damien, if any of you would like to join this thread, please do so. (Especially since I think it was my wild plot twists and absence that kinda' messed up the other thread.) However this RP will be more inclined towards Laucian's past and such, following shortly after "The Legacy".
ANYONE at all is welcome to join, and I will be throwing in explanations of what has happened to Laucian so don't worry about the storyline. Mmm... Nothing else I don't think. Feel free to ask any questions and... yeah!
Character Description.-
Name: Laucian
Age: 37
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Bard/Rogue
Weapon: Shortbow, rapier, and more knives than a dozen kitchens
Religion: None
Appearance: 6' tall; pale skin; long, dark brown hair tied at the back; dark eyes; mostly wearing light leather garments.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Equipment: Leather armor with an incredible amount of hidden pockets for the aforementioned knives, a quiver, a few arrows, a silver elven earing, and an enchanted gauntlet.
Background: Laucian was born in Cormyr. Since they had last met, Laucian has chosen the way of the outlaw. After an unfortunate incident with the law, he travelled West, to the coast. Often, he embarked on trips in infamous vessels with even more infamous sailors. He changed his songs from such that told of heroic deeds of kings to the tales of the death of tyrants. In fact, he has become quite the anarchist, believing that no one has any right to control the people. He is often cast out of towns for his controversial ideals. That is why he became involved with pirates. As for his past, little will Laucian accept of it, other than his mother's elven blood and his father's human flesh. Very recently Laucian lost his lover, Marie in a most curious accident at sea, which he managed to escape thanks to the ship's wizard, Garandos.
I've been reading the "Legacy" thread in the archives. It still exists, for anyone who may be interested, as I was.
I'll be curiously watching to see how this thread progresses. :)
I attempted to provide a link to the page but, it seems that, that's not possible.
Keep an eye out for me...I'll try to come up with something, if you can just mail me some info on the setting.
Keep an eye out for me...I'll try to come up with something, if you can just mail me some info on the setting.
yeah, what he said. I'd love to get involved in this.
Nice to see some people showing interest. I'd be glad to give you more information; however, what did you mean by "the setting"? Forgotten Realms? or specifically as to Waterdeep? or did you mean on the storyline?
In case it wasn't specified before the RP is taking place in the port of Waterdeep (in Faerun), although it will likely move into the Sea of Swords early on. From there we'll see where the wind takes us ;) .
If you need info on the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, that's the Wizards of the Coast page. Yeah, yeah, I'll find something better soon.
And if you're wondering about the City of Splendours, here is some background info (default to wikipedia :D ). Please don't read that ENTIRE article, that would be foolishness.
I think that's all. If there are any more questions please do ask.
I meant both the setting AND storyline, and you seem to have covered the first thoroughly...
I'm intrested I'll have something tomorrow
Well, Given the setting, time to revive an old pirate--er, privateer--character. *snicker snicker*
Name: Eduard Morgan
Age: 30
Race: Human
Class: Swashbuckler
Weapon: Rapier, Dagger, and 2 flintlock pistols.
Religion: Umberlee
Appearance: 5 feet, 7 inches.; tan, leathery skin; Shoulder-length, unkempt brown hair; Brown Eyes; Wears Leather boots, leather pants, a chain shirt concealed by a silk long sleeved shirt, a bandana and a tri-cornered leather hat.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Equipment:a compass, additional shot and powder for his pistols, cleaning equipment for his pistols, a flask of rum, a pipe and tobacco, tindertwigs, a spyglass, and a seemingly normal sea-chart.
Background: Eduard Morgan is an aging Swashbuckler who's been down on his luck. After a Mutany at sea, He managed to make it to Waterdeep with naught but his personal possessions. Ever the opportunist, Eduard is now looking for a ship to join and/or commandeer, so that hey may have his vengeance on his traitorous first mate, known to most as Jack Alman. Although Eduard has a set agenda, he's not closed to adventure along the way. Afterall, who is he to resist the call of Umberlee?
Of course, I await your approval before making my debut post in the RPG section...
[Edited by Village_Idiot on Monday, July 17, 2006 3:00 PM]
Very nice Mr. village idiot. Welcome aboard the ship. It'll be easy to have Laucian and Eduard join the same vessel. You seem to know your way around the Realms, how come I haven't seen you around here before?
As to the others, I'll be glad to see more characters, though hopefully players with some experience in the Realms. As to Laucian's story, he was first used for Exile's "The Legacy" (http://www.rpgconsortium.com/rpgforums/archives/index.cfm/t/255326-f3-p1.htm) RP some time ago, and i decided to continue it. He was born in Cormyr, son to a prominent Captain of the Purple Dragon Knights and an elf maiden. He was exiled from the kingdom on penalty of death, and he was glad to leave that "land of tiranny" as he calls it. Little more does Laucian accept about his past. As he travelled, he began to change his trade from songs to robberies. Eventually during Laucian's career in piracy he was caught by a pirate-hunting vessel "The Justice" and was allowed freedom if he would offer his services to the captain for a certain time. The ship along with the "Wave Dancer" were attacked ; Laucian managed to escape thanks to the ship's wizard but his lover, Marie did not. The ship has not yet returned to Waterdeep.
*Takes in deep breath.* That is more or less where we are now... Questions?

Character Description.-
Name: "Capitain" Claude DeFranz
Age: 30
Race: Human
Class: Thief/mage
Weapon: a dozen throwing knives, two half-length scimitars (thin bladed, not the wide, heavy ones), and a single broken wand
Religion: undisclosed
Appearance: 5'10" tall; pale skin; long, Stark white hair shaved closely below ear height all the way around; Bright blue eyes; dresses mostly in tight leathers covered with loose flowing folds of robe-cloth, cut in a fasion that allows free movement, but a wide, baggy appearance. Also takes great pride in his earrings of hooped gold and the torn captain's hat he wears.
Alignment: unlawful neutral
Equipment: Aforementioned weapons and clothing/armor, a flask of firewine, a small backpack filled with assorted plundered goods (mostly scrolls and money), two balls of wax, and a rather large piece of onyx resembling the shape of a vulture.
Background: Claude was born in a small town just outside of Waterdeep. Raised by poor farmers, he was considered their family's last hope for a better life. When his gift for magecraft was discovered, he traveled to Waterdeep in search of a wizard to teach him. Instead, he found a pirate named Custlar and the ship Umberlee's Breath. Piracy seemed the perfect way to bring his family riches so he accepted a position on the ship and upon earning his first share of the loot, he went home to give it to his mother. The town was gone, deserted completely. The loss of his family drove him so much further into the pirate's life that he eventually slew Custlar in his sleep and took over the ship some 10 winters later. Now he fancies himself a pirate and a captain and has forgotten much of his Gift save for basic cantrips and A HUGE array of parlor tricks. Dispite this, he is a formidible foe and an excellent swordsman.
Of course, if you approve, I will be acting under the assumption that Umberlee's Breath is docked in Waterdeep...

This sounds interesting. I'm off to read up on the setting. Yay books.

That will be grand. I will await for any other players interested before the ship disembarks.

Pearl, don't worry too much about the setting. As long as you have a basic knowledge of the Realms you're good to go.
Nice to see so many people showing interest.

I've never played in the Realms before so I really don't. Plus, I do own the book, and I couldn't live with myself if I missed something cool by not doing my research. ^.^
I'm a freak like that.
I hate to leave this thread now that it's gathering momentum, but unfortunately I have to be off to the dreaded land of Vancouver Island, where tourists ran abundant. I'm leaving monday morning or sunday night so this will be my last post for a week. I'll be back fully on the 29th or 30th. Until then you guys are on your own. If anyone wants to take over the DMing or you all want to handle it, you're welcome to do so, but I ask that your characters don't leave Waterdeep until I'm back. Again, I'm really sorry to leave this RP now, but I have to. Don't do anything you wouldn't wanna explain to the police. Until next week,
Mr. Bardy-Pants
Don't do anything you wouldn't wanna explain to the police.
so i guess this means i should hold off on the Bald Eagle feast i was planning...
So, does this mean I have to take ALL these portuguese babies back...
Hello guys, I'm back! (Although working full-time, so my time will be limited for the next two weeks.) I'm eager to keep the thread going, if you guys are still around and wiling. Free vurtual brownies for anyone who will RP in this thread!
I'm still here...
mmm...virtual goodness.are they made with virtual pot?
Holy crap...something that fits my signature character's idiom! ....not to mention I'm listening to 'The Final Countdown' so this seems more dramatic than it really is.
Name: Marcus Nelson
Age: 24
Race: Human
Class: Bard/Fighter
Weapon: Smokepowder pistol, Greatspear, Longsword, His Bardic Spells
Religion: Faith in the Western Winds
Appearance: 5'11", favores tan and green clothes and hardened rawhide leather (Behaves like studded) wears a ridiculously wide brimmed green hat for seemingly no other reason than it makes people ask. Rakishly good looks, he has charmed more than one bar wench into a late night trist before hes called to sea again
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Equipment: Rawhide armor, Caltrops, a small flask of the strong liquor "Noble's Blood" (He calls it Liquid Courage), box of crossbow bolts, violin, and a box of holding destined to hold only cursed items
Background: Marcus Nelson was born and raised in the southern Sword Coast region. He learned to swim when he was very young, as his parents threw him into the ocean to see if he'd learn. He quickly became enamoured with the sea and its mysteries and began his sailing career as a stowaway aboard and elvish Wingship and was quickly ditched back in Waterdeep where he grew up on the docks. Several years past before he gained enough gold to purchase his own vessel, 'Agility', and for his twentieth birthday he began making her live up to the namesake. With his modifications, the sloop Agility is known as one of the fastest on the sea, and Marcus was given a medal for his privateering work in the Battle of Bloody Seas where he and his crew managed to run valuable supplies through the blockade of Baldur's gate and back multiple times. He has also managed to throw people off with his fasination with cursed items, having a box of holding dedicated to the purpose of holding them and only them. He only smiles and winks when asked about it, saying something about 'for the good of all'. He is currently docked in Waterdeep for resupply before he again tests where the winds may blow him.

Fenugreek Sprouts
As per Ayurveda, the Ancient Indian Medicinal System, Fenugreek sprouts detoxifies the body, controls the blood sugar and helps in curing Diabetes. Drinking the water in which fenugreek seeds are soaked overnight helps in digestion , clearing of toxins, a little bitter though. But once sprouted fenugreek develops a subtle sweet taste. I take these everyday for lunch.
.125 cup Fenugreek Seeds, Sprout
Wash 1/8 cup of fenugreek seeds atleast twice (I do it thrice) and drain the water. Then add 300 ml of pure water and soak them overnight. Drink this water first thing the next morning (atleast 1/2 hr before your breakfast). And continue to sprout for 1.5 days. By this time roots will be 1 – 2 times the length of the seed. You need to spend 5 mins now sorting the unsprouted seed and discard them. You may find 20-30 of them per batch.
Your lunch/dinner/snack is ready for you to ENJOY.
NOTE : You can find Fenugreek seeds in Indian Grocery stores at $2-3 per lb whereas in WholeFoods it costs $10-12 per lb.

What do you normally eat these with? Toss them in a salad?
i really appreciate the sprouting recipes. thanks!

After coming heartbreakingly close to reaching the Big Game, Vernon Davis believes the Niners will pick up right where they left off -- and then some. In a Q&A session with the San Jose Mercury News on Tuesday, the All-Pro tight end said he "strongly" feels San Fran will reach the Super Bowl in 2012. "I strongly believe we should be the Super Bowl favorites," Davis said. "But I can't talk about it because it's all about work. It starts here at practice. I don't want to talk about it and brag and say this and that, because it's not about that. It's about working first. And in the end, you will see where you'll be." As with any painful experience, the team's 20-17 NFC Conference Championship loss to the eventual world champion Giants only serves as extra motivation for Davis and his teammates. "It broke my heart that we didn't get it. It really broke my heart," Davis said. "This team is ready. We smelled it, so we know what it's like. There's nothing like...

In December last the Supreme Court had lifted its stay order on union elections
The question of whether Jawaharlal Nehru University will finally have a students' union after a gap of four years will be decided by the student community in the University General Body Meeting (UGBM) on Monday.
Union elections had been banned by the Supreme Court back in 2008 for not adhering to the election code of conduct recommended by the Lyngdoh committee. However, in December last the Supreme Court had lifted its stay order and relaxed some of the recommendations.
But, the student community was divided over accepting the limited recommendations, with some feeling that the elections to JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) should be conducted according to the University's election procedures.
Representatives of all student associations and other students of the University will decide whether to endorse or reject the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court in the UGBM.
"There is little hope of any further legal recourse in the immediate future … no elected union has existed for the last three years, the SFI believes that the best option is to conduct the elections as per the new arrangement…. Any other option would amount to not having it at all," said SFI general secretary Roshan Kishore, adding that the SFI had appealed to its fellow-students to endorse the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court.
Increase in the maximum age limit for M Phil/Ph D students from 28 years to 30 years, no attendance requirement and permission to use photocopied material during the election campaign with an expenditure limit of Rs. 5,000 per candidate are some of the relaxations permitted by the Supreme Court.The last election of JNUSU was held in 2007 when the Left-affiliated All India Students' Association had won all the four posts.
Keywords: JNU elections, general body meeting

If you've just got have hardwood floors but are battling with the eco-friendliness of the decision, we may have an answer for you: bamboo floors. Although the product involves cutting down grass, which is what bamboo really is, it is seen as planet friendly because it only takes up to six years to mature in comparison to 100 plus years for traditional hardwood flooring material.
Flooring professionals say those opting for bamboo floors should make sure that the glue used is formaldehyde free. Industry experts advise that buyers ensure that their bamboo is Forrest Stewardship Council certified, which means the product hails from a forest that was harvested in the proper and safest manner.

iMac G4 800...installing Linux?
How the heck do i get linux (tryed countless ppc versions) to install on my Imac G4 800?
Every time during loading i get either washed out screen and nothing,or bright pink screen and nothing.
Have tryed all the "install video=ofonly" commands ect...still nothing...
|Sep 17, 2012, 12:58 AM
Are you using a graphical installer or a console installer? MintPPC and Debian's net install iso both use the console installer. If you're using a graphical installer like Ubuntu, try using the yaboot parameter nosplash.

I installed Yellow Dog Linux on my G4 iMac and got it to work but that was years ago when it was new and I don't have that machine anymore, I wouldn't recommend Yellow Dog as anything but a curiosity, you should really be running Debian or Mint PPC. Does the machine boot at all or does it fail somewhere?
If the machine is actually booting and only failing when X Windows loads I'd place a dollar on it being your xorg.conf file, so you might have to switch to single user mode and edit your xorg.conf file from the console.
Welcome to Linux.... I know this isn't friendly or fun, but if you want to run Linux you're going to have to learn. The second configuration should work on your iMac.
its also found here.
I don't pretend to hold your hand... this is the least of your worries if you want to run a Mac on Linux. Linux is not easy, it does not just work, you're going to have to learn to get your hands dirty.

thxs for links..will try when i get home.
use and have used various linux distro's for years,so em aware of it's shortcomings...but unlike a few years back (at least on the pc side of things) it has come a long way,and now is relatively easy to use.
on a side note,wouldn't it be great if there was a puppy like version for ppc.

I've used both yellow dog and mint on some of my G4s. they installed and did what they were supposed to do, but a lack of Java 6 made me return to Leopard.

the imac G4's
are notoriously difficult to install linux on. MintPPC forums have many posts with frustrated users struggling to get video, sound, or both working on the ilamps. It can be done, here is a video on youtube of the same machine as you have.
Maybe post in his comments to see if he had to do anything special to get it installed...I've installed linux on G3 imacs, ibook G4s, Blue and White G3's, even a Lombard Powerbook with minimal to no issues, provided I avoided Yellow Dog, which was an umitigated pain in the butt.

But for every minus theres a plus of being able to run the latest standards compliant version of Firefox, or other Webkit based browsers where you would be stuck with 10.4 Fox on OS X. There's also the range of productivity software that is standards compatible.

Burn a CD/DVD, then hold option while restart and it shows the available discs to start up from, one of them Linux, I select it and hit return, then what happens is it tries to boot but returns to the selection screen with inverted colored icons.
I guess it's in the Graphic drivers, someone pointed Me out that I had to start from Open Firmware???
Should work out of the box but it probably rarely will without changing the boot configuration.
I tried many different distros, never succeeded, on a Powerbook G4 1.67.
|Sep 18, 2012, 04:58 AM
Once its installed yaboot should take over, but you have to load that onto the front of your 1st disk for it to boot your Mac, you do that in the first stages of a Debian install when you set up your partitions.
you should have a HFS formatted /boot thats about 10mb, a swap partition about 2/3rds of your physical RAM if you've got over 1gb and the rest should be your /root partition.
Once you've got Linux installed it will drop you into an open firmware shell and you'll be able to basically be able to select M for Mac or L for Linux using the Yaboot loader.
You're right it is likely graphics card drivers, but as I stated its more so likely a configuration problem not the drivers themselves. The drivers will be loaded, its just that the Xorg.conf file is broken for this particular machine and nobodies bothered to fix it.

I am new to Macs but I have 4 PCs running Linux Ubuntu and Mint.
Anyway I was given a G4 Emac 800mhz with ATI Graphics.
As I got it all that would happen at boot was flashing finder icon and question mark.
After much reading and videos on You Tube I removed the hard drive 40 gig maxtor 5400rpm and replaced it with a 80 gig Seagate 7200rpm.
I had formated the Seagate in one of my linux boxes to unallocated space
I also replaced the CD drive with DVD drive
I downloaded Lubuntu 12.04 for PPC and even though it would fit on a CD I wrote it to a DVD at 4x and nice slow write to avoid Read errors
I had to use a paper clip to open the DVD drive as I dont have a Mac keyboard.
You have to tick the box to install Third Party Software to get Codecs

good luck, no hardware acceleration at all. if your finding Tiger to slow, i would be going back one step. either that or turn a crap load of stuff off on tiger..

So i became unhappy with Lubuntu cause Gnome mplayer wasnt going as good as i would like
So i downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 with its Gnome Desktop should improve things.
I pulled a 60gig laptop hard drive out of a laptop with a broken screen and put that in my Emac with an adapter I had.
The laptop drive has a 8mb buffer as opposed to 2mb for the desktop hard drive.
And the laptop drive uses less power too
I didnt have $2 for a DVD so i wrote Ubuntu on a CD
So with the machine off i open the CD door with my fingernail then use a trusty paperclip to open the CD draw insert the disc and push the draw closed.
Push the power button and hold down the C key after the Mac tone till writing appears on the screen.
I was prompted to do something and I chose a live session as it installs to the RAM and increases your chances of succes.
When the live session is ready you will see an install icon on the desktop I like to right click on the install icon and the click open
You will get an opportunity to install along side an existing OS and you have to tick a box to import an account [ eg your other OS]
You will be offered to install updates while installing and I always tick the box to say yes as it has benefits later.
you will be offered to restart now and shortly after the CD Draw will open remove the CD and hit ENTER
Sorry no Mac keyboards here
I have been using Ubuntu on PCs for 6 years
With Ubuntu you have to install[ restricted extras] first or Medubuntu to be able to play videos
With Lubuntu you have to tick a box to install third party software to play videos
I hear Mintppc 11 does flashplayer
|Nov 20, 2012, 11:17 AM
-Try Kubuntu or Ubuntu 10.04
-You must have 1GB of RAM or more
-Be aware you won't have access to so many aplications
Linux is good, but not that good. As an experienced Linux user, I strongly don't recommend using Linux on PPC, unless you really want.
True, Mac OS is no longer supported, but there hasn't been a big security threat, since hackers don't even care about PPC.

I'll be installing on my PM very shortly (I've now got a desktop running Ubuntu for work so my MBP can finally be used for personal use at home so my G5 can be my Linux hobby box ) just deciding between Lubuntu and MintPPC - It won't be a games machine anyway.

Interesting because I'll be doing my G5 over the next week or so and just have to sort myself out psychologically to get over the inevitable video card setup issues that will happen right after the first boot (or maybe even before....) - It is the ONLY way to keep a G5 current though as far as i can see. Good luck.
|Nov 21, 2012, 06:18 AM
No, but it has all the essential software you need and if it provides desktop hardware acceleration it could be better than an older version of OS X with no software updates at all.
Think about it, going from a completely unsupported OS with no software updates to one that runs the current versions of programs and can do most things a modern PC does.

Leopard still does everything I would want it to do, (gaming aside of course)

Capitalize and share knowledge on food securityand empowerment of rural people
[News 2011]
December 2012: The inauguration of the inventory credit centre in Founzan, Burkina Faso will be celebrated 13 December 2012.
December 2012: Ten information sheets from "Capitalisation" were added.
Boutiques d'intrants : Les clés du succès en huit fiches (Niger, 2012)
Also, Champ école paysan Pourquoi faire analyser son engrais ? La fertilisation localisée au semis des cultures ou microdose
November 2012: Two workshops (mini-sharefairs) on the exchange of good practices will be held in December, on the subject of management of inputs. One will be held in Niamey, Niger on 5 and 6 December 2012, the other will be held in Founzan in Burkina Faso on 13 and 14 December 2012. Participants are the partners of the Programme "Knowledge Management and Gender" in Niger and Burkina Faso. These meetings are organized by the project Good practice capitalization in support of agricultural production and food security, and serve as the final event in order to learn lessons from the Project, which ends in December 2012.
October 2012: Dimitra Newsletter 22 is now available in English and French. This issue places the spotlight on the Dimitra community listeners' clubs, with a special dossier made up of several articles that focus on the impact of projects under way, the development of this approach and the launch of new initiatives. In Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the rate at which listeners' clubs are being formed and the fact that the approach is now being reproduced in various settings are indications of the success of this strategy and the extent to which it is proving sustainable. In South Kivu, for example, a new formula has been tested with excellent results: the introduction of Farmer Field and Life Schools has been supported by existing community listeners' clubs. In addition, a process for evaluating the impact of the clubs has revealed an unexpected but promising factor: the improved capacity of club members to engage in more formal rural structures. In this sense, the clubs are paving the way for greater participation of women in producers' organizations and rural cooperatives.
The success of the clubs has led to the setting up of new projects in Burundi, Senegal, Mauritania and the DRC (Oriental Province). At the request of various organizations and agencies, FAO-Dimitra is helping to implement these projects based on gender sensitive participatory methodologies that are flexible and well adapted, with a goal that remains unchanged: the empowerment of men and women in a rural environment.
October 2012: From Dimitra Newsletter 22: Still on the question of empowerment, we highlight FAO's Capitalisation of good practices in support of agricultural production and food security project, which, together with VIE Kande Ni Bayra, is implementing an initiative in Niger to empower producers' organizations that are members of the Cigaba Union. In this country, the position of women in producers' organizations and the issue of gender in agricultural innovations have been explored in two separate studies carried out by the Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division of FAO, with the support of Dimitra. The results are presented in this issue.
16 October 2012: In order to assist governments in putting into perspective the activities of rural development, FAO and its partners train and supervise farmers' organizations. The project "Intensification of agriculture by strengthening cooperative input shops" (IARBIC), financed by Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg and the European Union introduced a new culture technique and provides the necessary agricultural inputs.

October 2012: In this episode of Hungry Planet, three reports on agricultural cooperatives, a key to food security. In Guatemala, farmers making a living from small plots of land struggle to produce bigger crops, become better connected to markets and earn more money. In Afghanistan, as foreign troops prepare to leave, an unexpected kind of peace building is taking place thanks to the rise in dairy cooperatives. In Southern Niger (at 07:13 minutes), agricultural cooperatives gain access to better seeds and better farming techniques to fight the region's severe droughts.

July 2012: Agricultural cooperatives are the focus of World Food Day 2012. "Agricultural cooperatives – key to feeding the world" is the formal wording of the 2012 theme. It has been chosen to highlight the role of cooperatives in improving food security and contributing to the eradication of hunger. Interest in cooperatives and rural organizations is also reflected in the decision of the UN General Assembly to designate 2012 "International Year of Cooperatives." See also Issues Paper on Agricultural cooperatives.
May 2012: Despite the key contribution they make to producing and processing agricultural products and providing food security for their families, women farmers in Niger still have very limited access to natural resources and productive opportunities. They also play a quite marginal role in decision-making in rural institutions. These observations were highlighted by an FAO study on the role and participation of women in producer organizations (POs) in Niger.
The study was conducted by FAO's "Rural Institutions and People's Empowerment" (RIPE) team in eight different regions of the country, targeting both mixed POs (71%) and women's POs (29%). Specific aim: to identify the constraints that prevent women from becoming involved in POs in Niger.
The study showed that joining a producer organization was no obstacle for women, since they can become members without any particular restrictions. The situation changes when it comes to women taking a full and active part in PO activities. For example, in the case of mixed POs, it emerges that women are in the majority in terms of members (59% are women, 41% are men), but their numbers fall dramatically when it comes to management positions (81% are men; 19% are women). It was observed that the obstacles are not structural or economic, but are mainly linked to cultural and social norms woven into the fabric of Nigerien society. The study also revealed that in general, women's access to resources and information remains very limited. Marginalization of women was also observed when it comes to active participation in management committees and decision-making in POs. In almost half of all cases, women were under represented in such bodies and in one quarter of the cases, they were totally absent. In the rare cases where women obtain key posts in POs, the decision to allocate these posts is always taken by men, never by women.
May 2012: Three years after the launch of the Dimitra community listeners' clubs project in Niger, a participatory evaluation process was set up to analyse its results in terms of the changes which came about as a result of the clubs' dynamic. The evaluation was carried out in two phases, a field study followed by a forum which brought together all stakeholders.
After collecting data in the field through a basic questionnaire, meetings were organized to find out if club members had noticed any changes to their livelihoods at individual or community level. An impact evaluation forum was then organized on 22 and 23 May in Niamey. The meeting brought together about fifty women and men listeners' club members from all the areas involved. The objective: examining the results of the field study and the discussions in terms of individual and collective changes, discussing the lessons learned and drawing up future plans.
In short, the community listeners' clubs dynamic has enabled discussions and initiatives in the following areas: agriculture and livestock, access to land, literacy, health, nutrition and public hygiene. Social cohesion is decidedly stronger and individual and collective support systems have been set up for the benefit of the community, and it was noted that women have been empowered at different levels.
The publication, Good practices in building innovative rural institutions to increase food security, released during the International Year of Cooperatives, presents thirty-five cases of successful institutional innovations that have empowered small-scale producers, and contributed to food security in different regions in the world. Available in English and French. See also Good practices in building innovative rural institutions to increase food security: Case studies (FAO-IFAD 2012). The sub-programme "Capitalisation" has contributed to the publication in the section dedicated to improving access to agricultural inputs and markets. It documented case study #5: "Input shops: A made-to-measure solution for the poorest farmers" and case study #8: "Inventory credit: A financing method suited to the needs of small farmers, both men and women."
March 2012: A very interesting article in French in New Agriculturist March 2012 on les clubs d'écoute in Niger (Community listeners' clubs) and the work of l'ONG VIE - Kande Ni Bayra ('Apporte ton savoir') and Dimitra.
"[...] Mariama, comme beaucoup de femmes au Niger, n'avait pas voix au chapitre lors des décisions engageant la vie de la communauté telles l'accès à la terre, au crédit et à la formation. Encouragées par l'ONG VIE - Kande Ni Bayra ('Apporte ton savoir') et Dimitra, projet de la FAO qui ancre son action depuis 1998 dans les dimensions du genre, de l'information et de la communication vers et avec le monde rural, les populations ont mis en place à partir de 2009 des espaces pour partager l'information et transformer qualitativement leurs conditions de vie. Ces espaces de dialogue s'inspirent du modèle des clubs d'écoute communautaires encadrés par Dimitra au Sud-Kivu (République démocratique du Congo) dès 2003."
March 2012: Bulletin Dimitra 21 is now available in English and French. This issue focuses on particularly innovative activities that enable women to have better access to land in several African countries.
March 2012: Dimitra Newsletter 21 is now available in English and French. See page 11: Within the framework of FAO's Knowledge Management and Gender Programme, the Capitalisation of good practices in support of agricultural production and food security project organised an action learning workshop on the capitalisation of good practices in Niamey (Niger) from 5 to 9 December 2011.
The action learning workshop in Niamey was attended by 21 people, a third of whom were women. It brought together the Capitalisation project team, several members of the IARBIC project (Intensifying agriculture by strengthening cooperative input shops), of the Emergency Rehabilitation and Coordination Unit (ERCU), ONG-VIE (Dimitra's partner), as well as representatives of three producers' organisations: Mooriben, the Réseau national des chambres d'agriculture du Niger (RECA – National Network of Nigerien Chambers of Agriculture) and the Fédération des Coopératives Maraîchères du Niger (FCMN-Niya – Federation of Nigerien Market Gardening Cooperatives). The participants went away with an action plan and a promise to meet again in three months to exchange their good practice sheets. A handbook on the capitalisation of good practices with a gender dimension is due for publication in 2012.
Some useful resources shared during the training course: Communicating gender for rural development: Integrating gender in communication for development (FAO-Dimitra); Knowledge management and gender: clarifying the concepts ; Knowledge sharing for development – e-learning module; Du terrain au partage (Sharing experiences from the field) – handbook on building on experiences (in French).
8 March 2012, Rome: One of the keys to eradicating hunger and extreme poverty is to increase social, educational and economic opportunities for women and girls. A new Gender Equality Policy launched today by FAO aims to place the improvement of gender equality at the center of the UN agency's work to boost sustainable agriculture and development. "FAO's gender policy underscores the Organization's commitment to addressing gender and women's issues to eradicate hunger and poverty," said FAO Director-General Graziano da Silva.
March 2012, New York: From the intervention of Belgium at CSW56 - 2012, Interactive Expert Panel 1, 28 February 2012.
".....L'empowerment individuel et collectif des femmes rurales est un axe prioritaire de la stratégie belge dans le secteur de l'agriculture et de la sécurité alimentaire. Les femmes jouent un rôle crucial dans la production agricole des pays en développement, ce qui fait de celles-ci d'importants agents de développement économique. En outre, la part considérable de la production vivrière imputable aux femmes fait de celles-ci les principaux agents de la sécurité alimentaire et du bien-être des ménages en milieu rural. Malgré cela, les femmes rurales restent le plus souvent « invisibles » lorsqu'il s'agit d'investissements, de politiques et de programmes. L'effort de la Belgique en la matière vise à ce que les femmes puissent participer, sur un pied d'égalité avec les hommes, au développement agricole et aux bénéfices qui en découlent et, de la sorte, contribuer pleinement à la sécurité alimentaire et à la croissance économique en milieu rural. [...]Dimitra, géré par la FAO et soutenu financièrement par la coopération belge dans le cadre d'un programme « genre et connaissances » est un projet d'information et de communication participative qui contribue à améliorer la visibilité des populations rurales, particulièrement des femmes. Le projet vise à permettre aux femmes rurales et à leurs organisations de faire entendre leur voix aux niveaux national et international. Ainsi il contribue à améliorer leurs conditions de vie et leur statut en soulignant l'importance et la valeur de leurs contributions à la sécurité alimentaire et au développement durable."
February 2012, New York: The fifty-sixth session of the Commission on the Status of Women took place at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 27 February to 9 March 2012. See especially Interactive Expert Panel 1 on The empowerment of rural women and their role in poverty and hunger eradication, development and current challenges. Archived webcast available.
January 2012: New FAO animation: Closing the gap between men and women in agriculture. It aims to maintain the momentum of the key messages delivered through The State and Food and Agriculture 2010-11: Women in agriculture – closing the gap for development. See video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDM828TpVpY An accompanying website ( www.fao.org/sofa/gender ) offers a topical approach to closing the gender gap in access to agricultural resources, inputs and services, with key facts and policy recommendations broken down by theme, allowing visitors to quickly access the specific information they need.

Star Trek: INS- Son'a/Dominion Question
View Single Post
February 21 2013, 03:26 PM
Re: Star Trek: INS- Son'a/Dominion Question
Except for this part, which sort of negates all the rest:
This plan makes the Son'a look pretty scummy, but perhaps not bad enough to provoke a war with the Federation
But we saw how a supposed friend and supporter of the plan reacted to every step of Rua'fos plan when actually confronted with the truth. Forcibly removing the Ba'ku, stopping Riker, starting the collection before removal of the Ba'ku was complete - the response always was "The Federation didn't agree to this, we lose support, this is wrong, there's gonna be war". Of course followed with "Oh, well, I guess we have to do it anyway", combined with Rua'fo's "What happens in Briar Patch stays in Briar Patch".
Without Data's initial meddling, Rua'fo would have had excellent deniability and control throughout the operation. Especially as regards the holoship. Sure, it was of Federation manufacture - but who do we find aboard it? A Son'a assassin and nobody else! When the Son'a cabal is beamed aboard the holoship, the vessel remains as outside Federation control as ever (locked up, but without any UFP crew, or any signs that there ever was any)... Indeed, the Feds have better control of Rua'fo's own command ship soon enough!
Had the Son'a had "simpler" motivations, i.e. merely a need for the elixir of youth, there's an obvious, simple path they could have taken: tell the UFP that the Ba'ku are mere "interstellarly aware" squatters who can be directly contacted and ordered to leave, free of Prime Directive considerations. Destruction of the Ba'ku lifestyle is an obvious element here, and if the Federation doesn't agree to that with all the facts available to them from the start, the Federation is not likely to agree to that after the fact with all the facts revealed to them, either!

1/16 – Meeting Maker Upgrade 8.7.1
On Friday, January 16, 2009 Meeting Maker will be unavailable from approximately 5:00 AM until 9:00 AM for an upgrade.
After the Meeting Maker server is upgraded, the client software that you use to access it will also need to be upgraded. For Windows users, this process will be initiated automatically when you attempt to log once the server is back online. Macintosh users can proceed with upgrading their clients manually. Links to documentation are available on the ITS website to walk you through these processes. It covers both Windows and Macintosh as well as Palm installations. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Client Services by calling x4357 or emailing email@example.com.
Don't Ignore the Windows Update Shield!!
If you're a Windows user, did you ever wonder what the periodic appearance of a yellow shield on your task bar means? When you have Windows Automatic Update enabled (and you definitely should!), your PC will regularly check with Microsoft to see if any new software fixes or patches are available to download and install.
Generally, Microsoft releases patches for Windows systems on every second Tuesday of the month (affectionately known, by some, as "patch Tuesday"). Your PC should detect the availability of patches on patch Tuesday and download/install them to your computer. Oftentimes, your PC will need to be rebooted for the patches to take affect.
Malicious attackers also watch for patch Tuesday but their intent is to better understand where specific security holes in the Windows software exist. They reverse engineer the patches and can then generate attacks against unpatched Windows machines.
Yesterday, Microsoft released a critical patch so you may see the yellow shield even though it's not the second Tuesday of the month. In order to stay safe, this critical patch should be installed as soon as possible and your machine restarted. Attackers are already working on efforts to exploit this most recent weakness so patching quickly is key.
So, don't ignore or inhibit that little yellow shield on your task bar. It's trying to protect your PC and data! Allow it to install the patches as soon as it detects them. And, if it prompts you to restart your PC, it's a really good idea to do that.
Stay safe,
Google Chrome – a nice complement for browsing
ITS tested Google Chrome on several of our swat online services, and found that many swat services function properly. Chrome is packed with many features that are easy to use including navigation and search history. If you are interested in road testing Google Chrome, feel free to download it; but keep in mind, Chrome is still in beta, and is not as mature as your current College supported browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox).
Eudora Migration Continues
During the summer over 170 faculty and staff members have transitioned from Eudora to another email client. Thunderbird is the most popular email client selected. Beginning in October, ITS will be scheduling a time to migrate current Eudora users.
We understand that changing e-mail software can be inconvenient so please consider the following options: you can switch to another e-mail program (apple mail or outlook), or you can follow our recommendation to migrate to Thunderbird. We are happy to assist you with the process now or when it is convenient for you during the next few months.
To facilitate the transition, ITS is doing the following:
Individual or Departmental Installation Appointments - ITS is scheduling appointments.Depending on the amount of email that needs to be migrated a migration can take 1 to 4 hours. Please call the Help Desk for an appointment at ext. 4357 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a group or departmental migration.
Thunderbird Overview sessions for Mac and PC users. Join ITS to learn about Swarthmore's new email system, Thunderbird. Thunderbird Overview sessions is designed to prepare faculty and staff for the migration from Eudora. We're finding that most users like Thunderbird more than Eudora, but it is a change and, like any change, does take a little time to get settled. Please attend our Overview session to learn about the differences, a few Thunderbird tips and tricks, and how to manage your mailbox. Thunderbird Overview Session dates and registration. Overview sessions are available for Mac and PC users.
What to learn more about the email project, see the ITS Blog postings.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to upgrade to Office 2007
Office 2007
Starting this summer, ITS began transitioning the campus from Microsoft Office 2003 (Windows) to Microsoft Office 2007. Starting this semester, all classroom computers, all public and managed departmental labs, and all new machines and setups will have the 2007 versions of Office installed on them. ITS has been working closely with faculty and staff to schedule the upgrade and many departments are now using Office 2007.
Office 2007 has changed substantially for Windows users. To ease this transition ITS is offering several overview sessions and we recommend you attend an overview when planning your upgrade. Scheduled dates are; 10/2, 10/16, 10/30, 11/13 and 12/4. Please register using the campus calendar.
Faculty and Staff, toinstall and begin using Office 2007
Close any Microsoft Office 2003 programs you may have open. You can't use these programs during the upgrade process.
Click Start and then select Run
Type into the Run line
Click Software, select Windows Software, select, Faculty_and_Staff_Only, click Microsoft Office 2007. Double-click the batch file: Office2007.bat. The installer will start and you will see a progress bar.
Wait for the progress bar to indicate that the install is finished (this should take 20-30 minutes). When the installer is finished, restart your computer.
Why are we transitioning now?
Because MS Office 2007 for Windows has been available for about 20 months and many faculty, staff, and students who have upgraded their computers are using the new versions. In January 2009, Microsoft will no longer support 0ffice 2003 and ITS will only provide support until the end of the academic year.
What is the plan?
As mentioned above, all classroom computers, all public and managed departmental labs have the 2007versions of Office installed on them. New machines and setups will be deployed with the new versions as well. We will be transitioning the remainder of faculty and staff computers over the course of the 08-09 academic year. Office 2007 Overview sessions will be offered throughout the fall. We will be distributing quick-start guides to all attendees. Additional on-line training is available.
Helpdesk/Restech office move
We, the Helpdesk, Restech, and Associate Director, Robin Jacobsen have all moved to Room 110 of Beardsley Hall. If you have trouble with your computer, email, software applications, your printer, or just want to say hello, stop by to see us in room 110 of Beardsley, we look forward to serving you.
Office 2007 Line spacing tip
Members of the Swarthmore community have shared valuable feedback about ITS' Microsoft Office 2007 implementation as noted in this blog from our colleague, Cathy.
During a recent overview session, we discussed line spacing options and modifications.
By default, Microsoft Word 2007 applies a line space of 1.5, however, our colleague, Cathy found that we can reduce the space by using the following steps:
- Click the Page layout tab
- Go to the Paragraph Group
- Click the Launcher icon
- Adjust line spacing to "0"
- Click Save as default
Thunderbird Features
As Thunderbird is being introduced to the community, ITS would like to point out some features available in the program. Thunderbird is capable of the following:
- Creating and using mailing lists
- Applying filters and rules for message handling
- Tagging, color coding messages
- Dragging/dropping messages to/from folders
- Creating subfolders
- Customizing the interface (move fields)
- Sorting by fields
- Creating and using signatures
To find out more, please attend one of ITS' Thunderbird Overview sessions.

Product description
'It was our third time playing the Godfather theme since lunch...' In a sublime short story collection, Kazuo Ishiguro explores ideas of love, music and the passing of time. From the piazzas of Italy to the Malvern Hills, a London flat to the 'hush-hush floor' of an exclusive Hollywood hotel, the characters we encounter range from young dreamers to cafe musicians to faded stars, all of them at some moment of reckoning. Gentle, intimate and witty, this quintet is marked by a haunting theme: the struggle to keep alive a sense of life's romance, even as one gets older, relationships flounder and youthful hopes recede. If you enjoyed Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall, you might also like Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, now available in Faber Modern Classics.

Review quote
NATIONAL BESTSELLERA "New York Times Notable Book ""A fine and moving collection of stories, displaying [Ishiguro's] unique combination of the sad, the stoic and the consoling. It's about failure, but it dignifies failure, and with it, the human condition. There is nobody like him." — Margaret Drabble, "The Guardian Books of the Year ""Each of these stories is heartbreaking in its own way, but some have moments of great comedy, and they all require a level of attention that, typically, Ishiguro's writing rewards.""— The Observer""An amusing read, at times very funny.... There are a number of scenes in Nocturnes that are almost worth the price of admission on their own." "— The Globe and Mail" "From the Hardcover edition."

After years of uncertainty as to whether continued at-will employment constitutes consideration to support a noncompete agreement, the Colorado Court of Appeals squarely addressed the issue in Lucht's Concrete Pumping, Inc. v. Horner (No. 08CA0936, June 11, 2009). The appellate court clarified that continued at-will employment, without more, is insufficient consideration in return for a promise not to compete. The Lucht's Concrete Pumping panel further held that the duty of loyalty owed by an employee to his employer is only a fiduciary one when the employee is deemed an agent of the employer.

Well, I am suspicious that I've been mis-sold and signed up to the wrong package. So I thought I'd ring BT to clarify details.
OMG, ringing them is like banging your head against a brick wall. I rang them on 0800 800 150 and apparently spoke to Jay Singh (after going through more automated menus than I care for).
I was told Infinity 1 (40gb). I told him about the 3 previous sales calls and he said all he could do was cancel the order and that I could then re-order if I wished.
If I did that I'd have to sign up for a more expensive package. Which is out of the question (I'll just stick with my current provider if thats the case).
What do I do? Jay Singh said he'd send an e-mail to the guy I originally spoke to asking him to ring me. I asked him to just put me through so I could speak to him but nope, can only send an e-mail.
The whole thing has just left me wondering if I want to go with them (even at the right price).
I basically spend 22 minutes on the 'phone was wasn't told anything that I couldn't read of their web-site.
Obviously atm the engineer visit is arranged and I'm expecting the hub to arrive Friday.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food is absolutely fabulous especially their daily specials. Everything is always fresh and creative. It is a small restaurant - about 15 tables - so make a reservation if…
