PCRM 2005: The Year in Review: Humane Research and Education
Trying to study human health by experimenting on animals is not just cruel—it's bad science. In the past year, PCRM has continued to work tirelessly to reduce the use of animals in research and education by using two strategies: advocating for the use of humane and more effective non-animal methods, and conducting our own research, both into the problems of animal tests and into alternatives. In 2005, PCRM helped save thousands of animals from being used in ethically and scientifically problematic experiments.
In February, PCRM cardiologist John Pippin testified before the Food and Drug Administration about how reliance on misleading animal tests led to the Vioxx debacle. And in July, he testified at the Institute of Medicine, outlining three promising alternatives—gene-based methods, tissue engineering, and microdosing—that could help eliminate the use of animals in testing drugs. Other PCRM scientists testified at government hearings, served on government committees, and shared information about alternatives in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Nature, the British Medical Journal, the New Scientist, and other prestigious publications.
New Views on Animals
PCRM's Jarrod Bailey, Ph.D., published a comprehensive review of scientific research on birth defects, finding that animal testing is little better than a coin toss when it comes to predicting whether a substance will cause human birth defects. After examining studies of 1,400 drugs and household chemicals, Dr. Bailey found that tests predicted effects in humans only about 50 percent of the time. His work was published in the European journal Biogenic Amines.
PCRM research scientist Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., tackled the problem of animal experiments from another angle. An ethologist by training, Dr. Balcombe educates the scientific community about the surprisingly harsh stresses that animals undergo even in seemingly benign laboratory conditions. He shared findings from two recent studies—one to be published in early 2006 in the journal Laboratory Animals—at several conferences, including the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities annual fall conference in Washington, D.C. His new book on animal emotions, Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good, is due out in May 2006.
PCRM also drafted a petition requesting that the U.S. government make the use of validated alternatives to animal testing mandatory, as it is in Europe. And, together with the Institute for In Vitro Studies, PCRM held a workshop in July in the Washington, D.C., area to study alternatives to animal use in toxicity testing.
Legal Action as an Advocacy Tool
Last year, PCRM also publicized problems with animal tests by taking several perpetrators to court. One lawsuit, filed against Merck & Company, Inc., argued that the company was negligent for relying on tests on animals to assess the safety of its painkiller Vioxx, which caused thousands of deaths. The Associated Press, Bloomberg, and dozens of other media outlets picked up the story, helping to inform the public that animal testing is not just cruel, but can endanger human health.
In April, PCRM filed suit in the Ohio Supreme Court, demanding the release of secret video footage from an Ohio State University class nicknamed "Cruelty 101." During the class, students conduct gruesome experiments that aim to mimic human spinal cord injuries by exposing the spines of mice and then dropping weights on them. PCRM filed its lawsuit under the Ohio open records law after the university ignored numerous requests for video footage and documents pertaining to the class. More than 300 neurologists have joined PCRM in calling for an end to the class; the lawsuit remains undecided as of this writing.
An Agent for Change
Under the direction of senior toxicologist Chad Sandusky, Ph.D., PCRM made major progress in an ongoing campaign to reduce the number of animals used in the U.S. government's chemical toxicity testing programs. In these tests, required by the Environmental Protection Agency, researchers poison animals to try to determine the toxicity of various chemicals for humans. PCRM's legal experts have filed lawsuits, which are proceeding through the courts, to try to stop the program. Meanwhile, PCRM research staffers have saved many animals by pushing Dow and other chemical companies to avoid unnecessary tests.
PCRM also continued its efforts to educate charitable givers about how to ensure their donations go to health charities that don't test on animals, both through the Humane Charity Seal program and other avenues. Humane Seal coordinator Kristie Stoick, M.P.H., worked with donors who wanted to help victims of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina direct their money to groups that don't test on animals. And PCRM kept up its campaign to educate the public about the March of Dimes' disturbing use of donors' money to fund useless birth defect experiments on monkeys, kittens, and other animals. PCRM activists handed out more than 40,000 leaflets to March of Dimes supporters in 175 cities.
While our goal of reducing—and ultimately, eliminating—the use of animals in medical research and education is immense, we are heartened by our growing ability to effect positive change. We look forward to an even more successful year in 2006.

Build an aquaponics system to educate Central Brooklyn residents on the benefits of urban farming, healthy eating and improving healthy food access for residents in the communities where they live.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Since the mid 1960's child obesity rates in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn are up 28 percent. Our project will encourage Bed-Stuy residents to consider where their food comes from and make healthier choices about their food. We will encourage the residents who participate in our program to promote healthier lifestyles amongst their peers and increase their physical activities and reduce the intake of fatty snack foods.
How will this project solve this problem?
The Brooklyn Rescue Mission urban farming training provides mentorship education and nutrition programs to help people make healthy choices about what they eat and combat peer pressure to eat unhealthy snack food and sugary beverages.
Potential Long Term Impact
The project will educate 50 people per year about urban farming, aquaponics and local and regional sources of healthy food allowing them to learn how they can impact their community food environment.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.

Bronchodilators are medicines that relax (dilate) the airways of
the lungs (bronchial tubes). This makes it easier for a person to breathe in more air.
Bronchodilators are usually given through an inhaler, which makes a
fine mist that the person breathes through the mouth and into his or her lungs.
Inhaled bronchodilators are preferred for treating respiratory problems, such
as asthma, because they cause few side effects and are effective.
Bronchodilators are sometimes given in pill form or as an
injection under the skin for a person who cannot use an inhaler.

"Most kiddie invites are too bright and cartoonish. These still embrace the childhood whimsy while staying classy and timeless. Very good quality paper and I upgraded to the colored envelopes and was very happy."
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"I got this card for my daughters 1st birthday, and I loved them! The party is rainbow theme, so they went with that. I wanted something with good quality but didn't want to pay an arm and leg! The paper the cards come on is very thick and the pictures look great! I definitely will be using tinyprints again for cards! They also got here really quick after I ordered and they come packaged in a box so they wouldn't bend before you get them! Very happy with my purchase!"
"I was very happy with the design and fast arrival of our Bday card. All of my guest told me how cute our invite was. The colors and print came out perfect. My only problem was with the free RSVP website. My URL was not working and I noticed they wrote the URL wrong. However my guest received their invites and we're not able to RSVP to the site. The problem did end up getting fixed, but I had to ask my guest to go to the website to RSVP to the party. I must say that was a bit of a headache. Over all I love the quality of the card and will use them again."
"I love how the invite turned out. I wish the picture on the front would have been better placed; however, that's probably my fault. The best part was the customer service. Have a professional review the invite before they print. They did a great job getting a hold of me and reminding me how urgent it was to get done. The first picture I chose was a little blurry and they didn't want me to be dis-satisfied. They turned out adorable!"

Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo Announces Rare Peccary Birth, Welcomes New Animals and Says Goodbye to Condors... for Now
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - November 11, 2011 - Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is pleased to announce the birth of an endangered Chacoan peccary piglet, the first to be born in the northeast. The female piglet will remain off exhibit until the spring. Also new to the Zoo are two Canada lynx and two Common rheas, both of which will be on exhibit this weekend. Two condors have been moved to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, where they will be trained for release back into the wilds of Columbia, South America. Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo coordinates animal transfers through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Program (SSP), which aims to manage and conserve a select and typically threatened or endangered species population outside of its natural habitat.
"To support our conservation mission, we partner with other AZA accredited zoos across the country as part of a strategically coordinated transfer and breeding program," explained Gregg Dancho, director, Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo. "Our goal is to encourage new animal births as a way to protect and preserve the valuable genetic lines of these endangered animals."
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is the first accredited zoo in the northeast to welcome a Chacoan peccary piglet and was the first accredited zoo in the northeast to exhibit this endangered species. Three male peccaries first came to the Zoo in 2007 and a female was transferred to the Zoo in 2010, specifically for breeding purposes. The female piglet, which is unnamed, will remain off exhibit until spring 2012, both because of the harsh winter temperatures and to allow for bonding with the mother. Born in late October, she was two pounds at birth and has already grown to 10 pounds. She was up and following her mother around within 15 minutes of her birth, which is not uncommon for these animals.
Chacoan peccaries are between one and a half to two and a half feet at the shoulders and grow to weigh between 66-88 pounds. They are most active during the day and then find a shaded area to cool under as the day progresses. Their hair is course gray to gray-brown, interspersed with long guard hairs. The have a whitish collar across the shoulders and under the chin. The head is extremely large and the nose tapers to a snout. Chacoans feed on various species of cacti, fruit, roots herbs, using their tough leathery snouts to roll the cacti on the ground, rubbing the spines off. They also pull the spines off with their teeth and spit them out. The kidneys of the Chacoan are specialized to break down acids from the cacti.
The two Common rheas, which were hatched on May 7, 2011 at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., arrived at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo last month and are on exhibit in the New England Farm Yard. The birds are "clutch mates," meaning they were hatched in the same nest, making them brother and sister. These animals are not endangered and were hatched through natural breeding.
Rheas are large, flightless birds that look similar to an ostrich, with a long neck and legs. They typically grow to nearly five feet and 90 pounds. Their diet consists mainly of plants but also can include grasshoppers, lizards, beetles, and fruits. Interestingly, these birds are polygamous, with males mating with numerous females. The females all lay their eggs in one nest with the males taking on the incubation of the eggs and nurturing of the young. The young reach adult size within six months but typically do not breed until they are two years old.
The Canada lynx, which is considered a threatened species in the United States, also go on exhibit this weekend. Two female sisters, just one year old, came from the Minnesota Zoo in Minneapolis in October. Lynx weigh between 11-65 pounds, with a head and body length of 26 to 43 inches and a tail length of two to seven inches. Their diet consists of mostly of rodents and rabbits and they have a life span of 10 - 21 years. The lynx is active mostly at night and can travel quickly but not for long periods of time. A lynx will typically give up the chase if it doesn't catch its prey within the first few seconds.
The Zoo's two Andean condors, perennial visitor favorites for their prominent location at the entrance to the Zoo, have been transferred to Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. They are being trained in preparation for release into the wilds of Columbia, South America, which is expected to take place in six to nine months. These four-year-old birds, which are clutch mates, are the only condors to be reintroduced to their natural habitat this year. They were selected for release based on their valuable genetics and because they are afraid of humans, which increases their chances of survival. Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo hopes to have a new condor on exhibit within the year. This is the third species from Connecticut's only zoo to be released to its home range, with the other species being Golden Lion tamarins and Red wolves.
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is closer than you think and is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Adult admission (ages 12 & older) is $12.00, children (ages 3 -11) and senior admission (62 and older) is just $10.00, and children under 3 years old are free. Zoo members are also admitted free. Parking at the Zoo is free of charge. For information, call: (203) 394-6565. Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is located at 1875 Noble Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

By Jassim Abuzaid and Yousuf Mohammad
Prominent personalities from different parts of the Islamic world attended the inauguration of yearlong celebrations by Crown Prince Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, to mark the declaration of Madinah as the capital of Islamic culture in 2013.
Prince Salman arrived here yesterday and was received on arrival at Prince Muhammad International Airport by Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman. The crown prince was accompanied by a high-level delegation including Prince Sultan bin Salman, president of Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities, and Prince Muhammad bin Salman, head of the crown prince's court.
In a statement on the occasion, Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal highlighted the important place of Madinah in the hearts of Muslims all over the world, being the city that hosted Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions, rendered all support to the Islamic faith and accommodated the Prophet's Mosque, the second holiest mosque for world Muslims.
He commended Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah for launching the largest expansion projects for the Haram Mosque in Makkah and Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.
Prince Khaled said Madinah's history and achievements qualify the city and its biggest sister Makkah "to become eternal capital of Islamic culture" as from this city the message of Islam spread all over the world, highlighting the values of justice, mercy and tolerance.
The celebration of Madinah, Prince Khaled said, reflects the city's cultural, Islamic, humanitarian and global dimensions and its outstanding contributions to world civilization during the past 14 centuries.
Prince Sultan emphasized SCTA's efforts to take care of Islamic historical sites in Madinah and other parts of the Kingdom.
According to a survey conducted by SCTA, there are 384 historical sites in Makkah and Madinah, with Madinah alone having 266 sites. "These sites are very important for Muslims as they tell stories of the history and progress of Islam."
Prince Faisal underscored the role played by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in achieving Muslim unity and encouraging the faithful to follow the teachings of God in all walks of their lives. "This resulted in the formation of the highest human civilization based on equality and justice," the Madinah governor said.
Prince Faisal underscored the historical, cultural, social and economic importance of Madinah. "It is the symbol of Islamic unity as Muslims from all over the world visit the city to pray at the Prophet's Mosque and pay tribute to the Prophet," the governor said.
Prince Faisal underscored the remarkable progress achieved by Madinah during the past years. He hoped the festivities would deepen the concept of Islamic cultural unity as well as values of tolerance and moderation.
Dr. Adnan Al-Mazroue, president Taibah University, said the Prophet's migration to Madinah was a turning point in the city's history. "The selection of Madinah as capital of Islamic culture is an important occasion for Muslims all over the world." He said Taibah would hold a number of conferences and seminars to mark the occasion.
He said that Madinah has always received utmost care and attention from the rulers of this country, starting from the late King Abdul Aziz, then his sons Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahd, and King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
The selection of Madinah as the capital city of Islamic culture comes in a time when the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques launched this historic project to promote world dialogue, denounce extremism, turn to moderation, and to live in peaceful coexistence.
Meanwhile, the High Commission of the event has approved the final schedule of the activities and the appropriate media plan.
The organizers will use this occasion to promote the conduct and way of life of Prophet Muhammad and highlight the cultural, historical, and social status of the holy city. They will also highlight the achievements of Saudi Arabia and its efforts to develop the city and support the various cultural activities, within a framework affirming the Islamic identity.

Source: Techradar
We found the P52F to be a well constructed and usable business machine, with decent battery life and commendable performance from the Core i3 processor. If you travel often, however, a more compact laptop such as the Dell Vostro V130 test might prove a better option.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 03/27/2011
Rating: Total score: 70%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
370M: The Core i3-370M is a fast clocked Core i3. The TurboBoost, AES, VTd, and Trusted Execution functions are deactivated in the i3-series. Therefore, it always clocks with max. 2.4 GHz (of course Speedstep is included). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.7 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.

Herbs increasingly are used in home canning
Associated Press | July 5, 2013
Photo By Dean Fosdick/FREAlmost 70 percent of all home canners are growing herbs - second only to tomatoes - with about one-third drying or freezing them for later use. Herbs are popular for flavoring sauces, soups, meats, vinegars and oils.

Culinary herbs are among the hottest trends in gardening. They also are popular among families who preserve fresh foods for later use.
Nearly 70 percent of home canners are growing herbs, second only to tomatoes, said Lauren Devine-Hager, a product research and test-kitchen scientist with Jarden Home Brands, which manufactures the classic Ball home-canning Mason jars.
"At least a third of them dry and store their herbs," she said.
Jarden is paying more attention to that fast-emerging market by developing new recipes, new methods of preservation and new products for short- and long-term storage, Devine-Hager said.
"When we ask people what herbs they're growing, they tell us No. 1 is basil, followed by chives, cilantro and dill," she said. "These are all great for adding flavor to meals without using much, if any, salt."
People also are using herbs in ways they haven't traditionally been used, said Daniel Gasteiger, author of "Yes You Can! And Freeze and Dry It, Too" (Cool Springs Press, $12.76).
"We're seeing a lot of infusions and mixology," said Gasteiger, from Lewisburg, Pa. "People are getting into herb-mixed drinks. I use vodka infused with herbs and garlic to flavor things like Dijon mustard and creamed noodles. You put a flambé on it to burn off the alcohol, and it leaves the essence of the herbs behind."
Herbal innovation also is becoming more noticeable at farmer's markets, he said. "I've seen lots of herb jellies being sold. Fennel, thyme, rosemary and lavender."
Moreover, there has been a surge in the sale of food dehydrators - electrical devices that remove moisture from foods to aid in preservation.
"Many people just want to know what's in their food," said Meagan Bradley, a vice president of marketing for the Legacy Companies, which markets the Excalibur line of dehydrators. "They're using their own herbs and dehydrating - making seasonings by grinding it up."
Food preservation is a great way to stock up on essentials, Bradley said. "Maybe they work long hours or they want something to tide them over during hurricanes," she said.
Other things to remember when preserving herbs:
1Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow and can be planted inside, on window sills, or outside in gardens or containers.
1Herbs can be grown from seed, making them inexpensive.
1Shelf life varies depending upon the type of herb, the amount of moisture removed and storage conditions.
1The best time to harvest herbs for drying is just before the flowers first open, when they are in the "bursting bud stage," the University of Georgia's National Center for Home Food Preservation says. Gather herbs in the morning to minimize wilting.
1Many people dry or freeze fresh herbs, while others add them to vinegars, oils, butters, alcoholic drinks, sea salt, soaps and jellies. Preservation in those cases often involves short-term refrigeration or long-term freezing.
1Dry herbs are more concentrated and have a stronger flavor than fresh herbs. "A recipe calling for a tablespoon of fresh basil would call for a half-tablespoon of dried basil," said Angelica Asbury, a culinary analyst with the Legacy Companies.

Source: Notebook.cz CZ→EN
Positive: Convenient backlit keyboard; quiet cooling for office work; quality Harman Kardon. Negative: Buttonless touchpad; the display.
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 09/27/2012
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M:
Multiple models based on various chips of the Fermi generation. Specifically, the GT 630M exists in GF108/GF106/GF116 variants, but are all essentially renamed GeForce GT 540M or 555M GPUs. A 28nm GF117 variant exists as well with reduced power consumption.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
3210M: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based dual-core, includes HD 4000 GPU, core clock 2.5 - 3.1 GHz» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.5 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.

UMSL's Bartlett Named & Midwestern's Petersen Named Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II National Player of the Week
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Senior catcher Katie Bartlett of Missouri-St. Louis and senior pitcher Katie Petersen of Midwestern St., have been named as the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II National Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for games played Feb. 15-21.
Bartlett went 8-for-14 over four games and helped guide her team to a 3-1 record on the week. She finished the week with a .571 batting average, four runs, six RBIs, a double and a home run.
The Des Moines, Iowa, native gave the Tritons a fighting chance in their lone loss of the week against Union (Tenn.) by tying the game in the top of the seventh with a solo home run. UMSL won its final three games at the Union (Tenn.) Three Team Weekend to start the season at 3-1.
In the circle, Petersen led Midwestern to a perfect 5-0 record on the week by not allowing her opponents to score a single run during each of her two appearances, which included a seven-inning perfect game against Western New Mexico.
The senior from Plano allowed just three hits, no runs and four walks while striking out 21 over 14.0 innings of work.
Petersen now has 26 career shutouts and with the victory over West Texas A&M, she became the Mustangs' all-time leader in wins with 69.
After going 5-for-5 at last week's Holiday Inn at the Falls MSU Invitational, Midwestern is now 8-2 on the year.

ROSA 2012 LXDE review
ROSA 2012 LXDE is the stable release of a desktop edition of ROSA Linux which uses the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. ROSA Linux is published by ROSA Laboratory, a Linux solutions provider based in Moscow, Russia. ROSA 2012 LXDE is the company's second stable release this year.
The first was ROSA Marathon 2012, which uses the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and is targeted at enterprise users. ROSA Desktop, which also uses KDE and designed for home users, is expected by the end of the year. A beta edition was previewed here.
The first beta of this LXDE edition of ROSA Linux was released in mid-April (this year). That beta release was previewed here. This article provides a more detailed review using a 32-bit installation image. The boot options are shown in the image below.
With almost all distributions that offer a Live Desktop, opting to boot into the Live system should bypass the login screen, but not so with ROSA 2012 LXDE. You are forced to make a brief stop at the login screen. Luckily, logging in does not require a password. Just click on the Live user's icon, and you are in. It would be better to do away completely with the login screen. For booting into a Live desktop, it does not add any value.
This is a screen shot of the Live Desktop. Because of my experience with ROSA Marathon, I was not really expecting to find an icon of the installer on the desktop, but it sure would have been a pleasant surprise if it were there. Instead, there is an entry for it in the menu at Preferences > Live Install.
Installing ROSA 2012 LXDE is made possible by the same graphical installation program used by Mandriva. And that is because ROSA Linux, like Mageia, is derived from Mandriva. The ROSA Linux version of the installer has been modified a bit, but at the core, it still retains most features of the original. LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, and partial disk encryption (see disk encryption in ROSA Marathon 2012), are supported.
A major difference between the installer in Mandriva and that of all published editions of ROSA Linux – ROSA LXDE 2012, ROSA Marathon 2012, and ROSA Desktop 2012 beta – is seen at the boot loader configuration step. This is what the step looks like in all ROSA Linux editions.
This is what the original looks like. "Original" here, is a reference to the Mandriva version. So instead of adding features to the installer, Denis Koryavov and crew decided that boot loader password-protection is not that important a feature to have.
The desktop shares the same wallpaper with the KDE edition. It is perhaps the most beautiful wallpaper that I have seen on any distribution this year. The panel, which sits at the bottom edge of the desktop, has been customized to look as close as possible to Rocket Bar, the panel on the KDE edition. On the KDE edition, that are two StackFolders on the panel for the Documents and Downloads folders. In this edition, Directory Menus for those folders are also on the panel. In LXDE, a Directory Menu is equivalent to KDE's StackFolder.
Like a StackFolder, I find that it is better to have a Directory Menu of the home folder, rather than the two on the panel out of the box. If nothing else, it saves space on the panel. That aside, it gives you access to all the folders in your home directory, right from the panel.

Agreed with finid. Rosa LXDE much better than other LXDE distro.
I'm not interested if it's the best OS in the cosmos:
I try to find distro like this witch will be fast and light for old PCs… so is it good one for that???????
is it better than lubuntu??????????
I tried this one a few days ago and it was pretty good until I realized that there was no battery meter. Of course there are ways to do this yourself in LXDE but for something that's aimed at notebooks and lower spec systems I don't see how they could have overlooked this.
On the upside, that omission led me to discovering Voyager XFCE which is now installed on my laptop and is my current favorite distro.
Thanks for the review.
Looks polished as usual for ROSA, and LXDE really needs a team like that that chooses the components well, avoid bugs and gives it some extra polish.
I didn't try it myself (satisfied with my Fedora Xfce).
Just a little warning: when the beta was released, I posted a question in their blog if it would be possible to boot the iso from the HD. It wasn't answered (no problem, maybe asking in the forum would be wiser) but I got a lot of spam in Russian in the email I entered there.
I'm usually a fan of the bells and whistles type desktops but after the amount of problems I've been having with Gnome and KDE lately I might just give this a go.

SAP admits 'inappropriate downloads' from Oracle

SAP, a German-based enterprise software applications giant, also noted in its filing late Monday that the U.S. Justice Department has requested documents from the company and Texas-based TomorrowNow. SAP said it is cooperating.
The company made the filing in response to a lawsuit that rival Oracle filed in March. In the suit, Oracle alleged that third-party support company TomorrowNow engaged in more than 10,000 illicit downloads, in which it accessed more information than it was entitled to receive when acting on behalf of its customers who were using Oracle applications. Oracle said that, in some cases, TomorrowNow downloaded materials unrelated to the type of software that a particular TomorrowNow customer was running and, in other cases, presented Oracle support materials as its own.
(Click here for PDF)
SAP issued an apology and said it has taken action to resolve the issue.
"Even a single inappropriate download is unacceptable from my perspective. We regret very much that this occurred," Henning Kagermann, SAP's chief executive, said in a statement. "When I learned what happened, I promptly took action to strengthen operational oversight at TomorrowNow while assuring that we maintain excellent service for TomorrowNow's customers going forward."
SAP appointed SAP America Chief Operating Officer Mark White as TomorrowNow's executive chairman to manage the company's operations and compliance programs. Andrew Nelson, TomorrowNow's chief executive, will report to White.
"We have no evidence that Andrew was aware of these inappropriate downloads," Kagermann said in an analyst and press conference call Tuesday morning. The internal investigation is continuing.
"I told my people to do as much as possible," Kagermann said. "It's important to get entire clarity (of the situation)." SAP said that existing and new policies will be enforced at TomorrowNow, and that it will renew training for employees.
The company also noted that SAP and SAP America did not have access to Oracle's intellectual property via TomorrowNow, because its subsidiary operates on a separate system and the information is not shared.
"We don't think a jury is likely to think much of the argument that the activity was confined to a subsidiary--and that as a result SAP should be less culpable," Pat Walravens, an analyst with JMP Securities, said in a research note. "SAP argues that this conduct is not the same as 'corporate theft'--again, we think a jury might think the TomorrowNow conduct seems very much like corporate theft."
Walravens noted that the SAP-TomorrowNow debacle will be a "net positive" for Oracle, which generates $10 billion a year in support and maintenance fees.
Where TomorrowNow goes from here
One analyst noted that while SAP has a reputation of being a credible company, it will have to work hard to reassure customers.
"It's up to SAP to make sure that customers feel that doing business with them is not a mistake," said Peter Kuper, a Morgan Stanley analyst. "If they can't assure them, there could be a backlash, but this is not a catastrophic event that they can't recover from."
Oracle, in response, said its lawsuit provided the means to explore the extent of the issue.
"SAP CEO Henning Kagermann has now admitted to the repeated and illegal downloading of Oracle's intellectual property. Oracle filed suit to discover the magnitude of the illegal downloads and fully understand how SAP used Oracle's intellectual property in its business," Geoff Howard, Oracle's outside counsel, said in a statement.
Oracle and SAP are fierce competitors in the applications market, as well as in the lucrative support and maintenance arena.
SAP acquired TomorrowNow in 2005, shortly after Oracle acquired PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards. TomorrowNow provides third-party maintenance and support to PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards customers.
SAP and TomorrowNow launched a major marketing campaign to woo away Oracle customers, soon after its rival completed its major acquisition.
Honeywell and Merck, for example, signed up for TomorrowNow's services. But, according to SAP's court filing, TomorrowNow used customers' Oracle licenses and passwords to download materials unrelated to the licenses they held, unbeknownst to those customers.
SAP also admitted in its court filing that portions of TomorrowNow's PeopleSoft Daylight Saving Time offering is "substantially similar and in some instances identical" to Oracle's DST offering.
"Defendants further aver that while (TomorrowNow) TN referred to Oracle's 'DST Solution' during the course of researching and preparing TN's PeopleSoft Daylight Savings Time solution, TN also conducted its own independent research," according to the filing.
The PeopleSoft Daylight Saving Time solution features written materials on how to address daylight saving time when using PeopleSoft applications. TomorrowNow plans to discontinue the use of the materials where it is found to be similar or identical to Oracle's DST.
SAP and Oracle will have a case management hearing September 4 in the U.S. District Court for Northern California.

- Did anyone notice how it took a lawsuit in a U.S. court to get an explanation from SAP? Oracle, a U.S. company, has discussed this for a long while. I thought that the EU had vehicles in place to prevent this sort of behavior. That is what was stated when the EU came about. I'm all for free trade as long as it is fare trade.

- It's not that big of a story
- The IP story is a big one, but this is more of a case of theft. They took something they had no right to take.
In the much bigger picture, I don't think the overall intellectual property story is going away anytime soon. If EU companies aren't complying, and the enforcement is difficult, what can any American company expect in either India or China?
So, I have no interest in defending SAP, but I don't think that a recently acquired subsidiary stealing some patches is anything more than a minor blemish.

- SAP's problems are not limited to Oracle
- SAP's understanding about the full extent of their problems seems very elementary. For full details about their problems with the United Nations go to http://www.klauskorner.com/2007/07/03/tmg-responses/.
These are not the same problems but they do seem to indicate that SAP has a much more serious and systemic problem that is not limited to a few "rogue" engineers or support staff.
As you will read from SAP Vice President of Industry Standards, Michael Bechauf, and other comments posted at klauskorner.com, there are significant problems with SAP conflict of interest and possible monpoly that are being ignored.
It is time for bloggers and other media to expose more of this preditory behavior from SAP with the same agreesiveness as they use to go after Microsoft.

- Open Standards blocked by SAP Patents!
- Standardsguru, thanks for the link. I spend the last hour reading
all the related postings as well as visiting the CEFACT (the
standards organization involved) web site. This is truly a
underhanded attack by a vendor to stop the implementation of
an "open-standard" which is also an ISO standard, by filing not
one but at least 10 patents to stifle the implementation by
others, such as the competition, which also includes Oracle.
I agree with your plea that it is time for the technology media to
fully expose this attack on an Open Standard, especially since it
looks like that the CEFACT leadership is doing nothing other
than support SAP in its claim of having done nothing wrong. As
you said if this were Microsoft we would have heard by now
outcries of foul play. Why is the media so silent when it comes to

- This is one EU company that got caught. Why did it have to take a lawsuit in the U.S. to get them to admit it? Because the respect for other countries laws, (something that the EU promised when they came to be) is just lip service.

http://www.meettheboss.com/index.asp?buid=FinChannel040920081sn
There's a simple registration process involved, but no costs and it is exclusively for banking and financial services executives, so no headhunters or solution providers involved in the discussions...

It seems like a very interesting group, i look forward to meeting some of you on there.

SUPER BOWL GREATEST COMMERCIALS (S) (6.2/09, 9.87m) averaged 2.9/07 in adults 25-54 and 2.1/06 in adults 18-49.

Super Bowl GREATEST COMMERCIALS delivered its best performances in households, viewers, adults 25-54 and adults 18-49 since Feb. 3, 2010.
SUPER BOWL'S GREATEST COMMERCIALS 2013 is an interactive countdown special where viewers will be able to vote LIVE on CBS.com via Facebook and Twitter for their favorite Super Bowl Commercials. The special, hosted by Boomer Esiason, Analyst for CBS Sports' NFL pre-game show THE NFL TODAY, and Aisha Tyler, co-host of THE TALK, was broadcast Wednesday, Jan. 30 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Sponsors present their best commercials during the Super Bowl, and the big game wouldn't be quite the same without them. For the advertising community, the Super Bowl is their Super Bowl, and often creates commercials specifically for the enormous viewership that the game provides. For many, watching the commercials is the most entertaining part of the Super Bowl. Advertisers try to get their money's worth by rolling out their most creative and innovative spots. This one-hour special, now in its 13th year, will originate from Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, home of "Super Bowl XLVII."

NOWHERE is the fragmentation of the Earth's wild places more stark than in southern Africa. Flit across the landscape in a small plane and conservation areas appear below like rich green islands in a sea of dusty, populous poverty. Some of the ill-effects are obvious in the images of antelope in their thousands crumpled against game fences cutting them off from migration, or in the last tiny bands of Bushmen, former hunters and gatherers who now live in enforced idleness and despair in reserves hemmed in by towns, farms and cattle ranches.
But what is happening behind the scenes in these isolated remnants of the original landscape? Island biogeography affords many insights and in

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy | Run Time: 126 min | Rated: PG-13
Director: James Mangold | Starring: Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima
By: George Wolf
The Wolverine seems invulnerable, but on the inside, heŌĆÖs a heartbroken, wounded mess. DoesnŌĆÖt that make him dreamy?
Ever since he had to go and kill Jean – the psychotic, clairvoyant killing machine and love of his life – he hasnŌĆÖt been the same. He just exists, just goes on, pointlessly ŌĆ" kind of like this movie.
The latest in the X-Men franchise is certainly a letdown from 2011ŌĆÖs exceptionally fun and clever X-Men: First Class. This episode finds Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) holed up in a cave, living the life of a semi-boozy hermit, befriended, or at least tolerated, by a neighboring grizzly. But heŌĆÖs lured out of hermitage by some dangerously incompetent hunters and a sword-wielding young woman with a request from LoganŌĆÖs past.
Come to Tokyo, she says. IŌĆÖll have you home tomorrow, she says.
Wolverine is quickly sucked into yakuza/ninja/samurai/mutant/romantic intrigue.
In Japan weŌĆÖre treated to too much sentiment, not enough action, and not nearly enough opportunity for Jackman to break out of LoganŌĆÖs morose romanticism and crack a few jokes. Director James Mangold is preoccupied with honor, courage and love ŌĆō solid enough staples for a samurai-tinged action film, but a humorless Wolverine is just no fun at all.
The film takes a comic book hero, casts him as a routine vampire clich├® (the tragic-romantic immortal who wishes to be human), then paints everything with a mixture of several eras of Japanese crime cinema. But vampires and samurai tales require blood, and lots of it. Comic book movies ŌĆō even when the hero slashes through everything with metal claws ŌĆō are bloodless. The combination just doesnŌĆÖt work.
Mangold continues to take the X-Men path less traveled by supplying so very few mutants. One common weakness of late-franchise superhero flicks is that they throw dozens of villains at you in the hopes of drawing your attention away from script weaknesses. Mangold has the bravery to avoid this gimmick, supplying only on mutant villain, Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova ŌĆō whose name is exponentially more interesting than her character).
The result? We can see how weak his script is.
The Wolverine does boast some cool action sequences ŌĆō especially that bit on top of the train ŌĆō and Jackman has more than enough talent and brawn to keep the movie interesting. But mostly the film dives into LoganŌĆÖs internal scarring and seeks to help him appreciate his immortality and his purpose. Maybe next he can rediscover his sense of humor.
