The Rapid Response team at the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development provides valuable services for businesses that are downsizing and closing. The goal is to avert layoffs and minimize the impact by matching appropriate services to the businesses and affected workers.
We are pleased to report that every year since 2009, fewer companies have needed the Rapid Response team's help. In FY2009, 400 companies downsized or laid off workers compared with nearly half that number -221 companies in FY2014.
Rapid Response also saw the number of workers laid off in Massachusetts drop from 31,904 in FY2009 to 10,816 layoffs in FY2014. This positive trend reflects a steadily improving economy in Massachusetts where the jobless rate fell to 5.5% in June and we are seeing the highest level of employment in 25 years. Businesses and job seekers should feel encouraged by the improving opportunities in Massachusetts.

As the FSA launches a two-part consultation to transpose the Alternative Investment Fund Managers directive (AIFMD) into UK law, Deloitte, the business advisory firm, says the policy positions taken will affect how the directive applies to investment trusts, hedge fund managers and private equity managers.
Brian Forrester (pictured), partner at Deloitte, says: "This is an important step towards the implementation of the Directive into UK law. The FSA appears to be warning the industry that more managers than previously thought could be caught, however, the regime for smaller firms is still in the hands of the Treasury and we will have to wait until the New Year to hear the outcome. The level 2 regulations have yet to be released and some important clarification will be included within those. The FSA's view on depositaries for private equity funds will be well received by the PE industry."
The AIFMD governs how investment firms manage and market alternative investment funds in Europe.
The impact of the key policy positions are:
• Boards of investment trusts may have considered becoming "self-managed" alternative investment funds. However, the FSA's policy positions make the benefit of doing so less evident. In addition, the FSA appears to limit the ability of investment trusts to become "self-managed" to those that do not appoint external managers and employ staff.
• Many UK private equity (PE) managers will for the first time be required to appoint a depositary for their funds. The FSA has signalled that it could allow administrators to provide this service, which should reduce the cost of compliance.
• Some UK hedge fund managers for offshore funds believed they could fall outside the scope of the most expensive parts of the directive because they do not have the permission to "operate an unregulated collective investment scheme". However, the FSA has warned that it expects some of these to be within scope even if they just have the "managing investments" permission.

Jesse Jackson Jr. resigns from Congress
**Written by Doug Powers
Are you ready for the "Chicago politician resigns amid corruption investigation" story for the
century decade year month week?
The Chicago Tribune reported earlier today that Jesse Jackson Jr. was expected to submit his resignation to House Speaker Boehner, and the AP confirms that has happened:
BREAKING: Boehner's spokesman says he received letter of resignation from Ill. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
— The Associated Press (@AP) November 21, 2012
No word yet on whether or not Jackson will receive disability benefits from now on, as was reportedly part of his plea deal for stepping down. Jail time is also a good possibility. The investigation is ongoing:
The FBI investigation has been looking at Jackson's alleged use of campaign funds to decorate his home and to buy a $40,000 Rolex watch for a female friend. The investigation into misused campaign funds has now expanded to include Jackson's wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, according to reports. Investigators are scrutinizing whether Mrs. Jackson was aware of or complicit in her husband's alleged misuse of campaign money. Investigators have not yet indicated whether they plan to charge Sandi Jackson.
Jackson's resignation will trigger a special election:
Jackson's resignation will spark a special election in his Chicago-area House seat, a heavily Democratic enclave. Illinois state law requires that an election must beheld within 115 days after the seat is vacated.
Local news reports have said possible Democratic candidates include Cook County Chief Administrative Officer Robin Kelly, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, and state Sen. Kwame Raoul, who holds the legislative seat once held by President Obama.
Too bad Blago is still in the tank, because he could probably sell that seat in fairly short order.
Update: Jackson's resignation letter. More on the letter's substance here.

Violent storms kill 13 in Okla., Kan., Ark.
EL RENO, Okla. Violent storms with winds of more than 150 mph slammed into a chunk of the central U.S. overnight, killing at least 13 people in three states, flattening homes, crushing cars and ripping apart a rural Arkansas fire station.
The high-powered storms arrived Tuesday night and early Wednesday, just days after a massive tornado tore up the southwest Missouri city of Joplin and killed 122 people.
The latest storms killed at least eight people in Oklahoma and two in Kansas before trekking east into Arkansas to claim three more lives.
Just outside the tiny community of Denning in western Arkansas, winery owner Eugene Post listened to from his porch as a tornado barreled toward his home. He saw the lights flicker, as the storms yanked power from the community.
"I didn't see anything," Post, 83, said early Wednesday. "I could hear it real loud though. ... It sounded like a train - or two or three - going by."
Department of Emergency Management spokesman Tommy Jackson said one person died in that tornado early Wednesday, and another was killed in Bethlehem, Johnson County. Franklin County's chief deputy sheriff, Deputy Devin Bramlett, said early Wednesday that a third person died in Etna.
"I don't know, it's just unbelievable," said Rick Covert, Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator for Franklin County, Ark. "It's just total devastation."
A rural fire station in Franklin County was left without a roof as emergency workers rushed to the wounded. Downed trees and power lines tossed across roadways also slowed search-and-rescue crews' efforts.
Emergency officials have accounted for everyone else in Bethlehem, said county emergency management director Josh Johnston. Crews were working through the night in the hopes of saying the same thing for other communities.
Hours earlier, several tornadoes struck Oklahoma City and its suburbs during the Tuesday night rush hour, killing at least eight people and injuring at least 60 others, including three children who were in critical condition, authorities said.
Cherokee Ballard, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office, said five people were killed in Canadian County, two in Logan County and one in Grady County. A weather-monitoring site in El Reno recorded 151 mph winds.
Ballard said a child was among those killed, but she had no other details.
The storms destroyed homes in Piedmont, some 20 miles northwest of Oklahoma City and threw vehicles about like toys tossed from a stroller.
"My husband and I were driving around yesterday and went past a house and there was a vehicle in the pond in the front yard. The only way I could tell it was a vehicle was I could see four wheels above the water. It was a crushed ball," Piedmont Mayor Valerie Thomerson said Wednesday.
"We have anything from houses that have shingles blown off, to half the house missing, to the house being completely wiped out, gone," Thomerson said.
Some residents said they had been warned about the impending weather for days and were watching television or listening to the radio so they would know when to take cover.

Kevin Murphy SHIMMER SHINE
A multi-tasking treatment and finishing mist infused with nourishing baobab, immortelle, bamboo and antioxidant vitamins A, C and E to help restore softness, suppleness and shine to hair without weighing it down.
Light-reflective technology gives tresses a glossy and radiant shimmer whilst a nurturing blend of essential oils help strengthen hair and increase elasticity for easy styling without leaving an oily residue.
Directions for use: Apply to damp hair before styling as a conditioning treatment or apply after styling to finish the look, add lustre and help control flyaways.
7 customer reviews
My hair is curly, fluffy and very dry. Consequentially, I tend to use a lot of product to keep it under control which can make it dull. I thought Shimmer Shine would help but after using it, I can't see any difference. But the main reason I would NEVER buy this again is the SMELL! It is absolutely overpowering, like the worst old hair lacquer smell. You have to hold your breath, spray it, then run like hell. I've only been brave enough twice.
must have!
Most definitely one of the best products I have used. Leaves my long, course hair fantastically soft.
Cant use as will not spray!
Beautiful product, gorgeous scent....
Amazing product - I love this after styling to make my hair shine. Smells great too. And lasts for ages!

Featured review from Alex KozinskiRed Velvet
view more less of this review
The subject is the true story of nine black young men accused of raping two white women while riding a box car in the early 30s. They are convicted and sentenced to death, but rescued from the gallows by a landmark Supreme Court opinion. But there is no happy ending, as they are convicted again and spend long years in prison and never get vindication. It's an odd subject to write a musical about. The story is told vaudeville-style by a troupe of actors, almost all of whom are black and they play all of the roles, in including those of the white women, the southern sheriff, the Jewish NY lawyer, etc. The show has plenty of imagination, but the conceit doesn't quite come off. The songs are not memorable and the choreography, while professional, is not particularly fresh or imaginative. Some of it is reminiscent of Zorba--one of Kander and Ebb's previous musicals with which I'm familiar. And, given the sadness of the story, it's hard to leave the theater feeling good.

Eight years after the Homeland Security Department opened its doors, it is struggling with aging and stove-piped information technology systems that cause inefficiencies in operation, according to a comprehensive report from the Office of Inspector General.
The report, titled "Major Management Challenges Facing the Department of Homeland Security," was released on Dec. 9 by Acting Inspector General Charles Edwards. It is meant to be an annual comprehensive look at a broad array of systemic IT and management issues at the department. Much of the details have been reported in previous audits.
As in previous years, the report highlights nine critical areas, including management of IT, acquisition and financial reporting along with key missions such as border security and preparedness.
In terms of IT management, Edwards addresses weaknesses related to an alleged lack of integration of systems at the Coast Guard and between DHS and state and local fusion centers.
The Coast Guard's command center and partner agency systems "are not sufficiently integrated," Edwards wrote in the report. "These limitations had a variety of causes, including technical and cost barriers, aging infrastructure that is difficult to support, and stove-piped system development."
The end result: Field personnel rely on "inefficient workarounds to accomplish their mission," Walker concluded.
Edwards also found problems in the way that DHS systems coordinate with state and local intelligence fusion centers. After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the fusion centers were created to be hubs of information sharing on threats.
At least two networks, the Homeland Security Information Network and the Homeland Security State and Local Community of Interest system were developed by DHS to help share information.
However, those two systems are not integrated, Edwards wrote in the report.
"As a result, users must maintain separate accounts, and information cannot easily be shared across the systems," the report said. "Fusion center personnel also expressed concern that there were too many federal information sharing systems that were not integrated."
Nonetheless, Edwards concluded that the department is moving forward on addressing the challenges.
"The department has made progress in coalescing into an effective organization, as well as addressing its key mission areas to secure our nation's borders, increase our readiness and resiliency in the face of a terrorist threat or a natural disaster, and implement increased levels of security in our transportation systems and trade operations," Edwards wrote.
Department officials, in a response, said they agreed with that assessment.

Jay Gruden wasn't at all pleased with Robert Griffin III's on-field performance in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, but that's not all that irked the Redskins' head coach.
After some pointed comments by RG3 following the Redskins loss to Tampa became national news, Washington coach Jay Gruden made clear he wants Griffin to worry less about his teammates.
"All the sacks are on me, period," said Robert Griffin III after getting thrown for a loss six times during the Redskins' embarrassing 27-7 loss to the Bucs.
After a horrific home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Redskins' players and coaches reacted with varying levels of disappointment and anger.
Robert Griffin III is taking some hits today for something he said after yesterday's ugly loss to the Bucs, who came into the game 1-8. Here is some needed context to the quote.

1 Tartu University Library - entering the world of digital collections and archiving Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Andres Didrik, I come from Tartu University Library and it is my pleasure to introduce to you the growing Tartu University Film Archive. We are a library, both an institutional library and a public library, and being an institutional library means that we do have original content that is produced by ourselves, I mean by Tartu University, namely audio and video recordings and even films. So, it means we have to perform some archival functions as well, to preserve and give acces to our multimedia content. But let me first tell you about the background of our current situation, then I'm gonna show you some of the films and then I will discuss some of our solutions to archiving audio-visual material. OLD FILM VAULTS In 2004 it was decided in Tartu University to start managing its vast collection of old 16 mm and 35 mm celluloid and nitrate film collections properly. The films had been laying on the shelves for years without any proper use and therefore had been largely forgotten. Also because of the development of video technology in the 80s and 90s old film projectors were becoming more and more obsolete, to the point where there was only one working 16 mm film projector in Tartu University which nevertheless was scratching and damaging films after each viewing. It was not possible to watch 35 mm film at all. In the process of reorganizing and restructuring various departments of the University the film collection was rediscovered and question about its place in the world was asked again. However, no clear answers were given, partly because it was hard for everyone to relate to something as obsolete as film technology in this age of digital cameras and desktop filmmaking. Also the films were not exactly kept in suitable conditions necessary for long- term preservation, that means some of the metal boxes carrying films were almost totally decayed to rust, seriously damaging films inside (as you can see in this picture). Other boxes were dirty enough not to want to touch them at all, and lacking any coherent information about what they contained. The films had also been moved several times, from bad conditions to even worse, and existing partial call number system destroyed. Starting from around 2005 several professional video production companies have been asking about Tartu University's old film collection, if it was possible to watch the films and use them in professional filmmaking. After some consideration it was decided to lend out some of the films that were eventually digitized and used in a documentary feature about a renowned estonian/russian scientist Yuri Lotman. So, the need for proper handling and cataloguing of films was imminent. It was decided to move the films over to Estonian Film Archive where proper archival conditions were met. The whole collection consists of more than 2500 metal boxes carrying about 1500 different films. Many of the boxes contain positive or negative copies of the same film, with audio track either in russian or in estonian, hence the big difference in volumes. Today around 400 films have been moved over to Estonian Film Archive where they have been described, 2 digitized and stored in proper conditions. It will probably take another 4 or 5 years to finish this moving and digitization process. The earliest film in the collection dates back to 1932. It was made by a renowned estonian filmmaker Theodor Luts in the event of 300th anniversary of Tartu University, and features views and sights from Tartu as well as various social events and even lectures given at the University. Naturally it is a silent film, as majority of the films in the collection are. As you can see, the quality of this movie is not very good, mainly because this is digitized from a copy of the original film, while the original film reel is presumably lost. The story is that it was hidden among other films and left unmarked on purpose so that the soviets wouldn't be able to find it and take it away. In that our staff at the Cinema and Photo Laboratory of Tartu University succeeded, the only drawback being that the original reel is still lost. Also, the digitization equipment at the Estonian Film Archive is old, and not very good. This actually puts us in a bit awkward position, because we already want to archive the films, but these digitized films are of preview quality mostly. At least, we can see the films and decide if we want to digitize some of them in Finland, for example. [Järgmine näide] The main bulk of the old film collection consists of films being made between 1950 and 1987. About half of them are educational films in russian, received from major cinema production studios in Russia and shown by lecturers and teachers during the initial courses at the University, to help students make their career choices. These are popular films of no great scientific value, but they are interesting to watch anyway, given that you can read and understand russian. Another half, and more important part of the collection consists of films being filmed locally at the University by Departent of Cinema and Photo Laboratory. These are mainly educational films used in everyday teaching process in many faculties, for example many are sports films, many concern medicine issues – it is our understanding that these were matters politically harmless enough to be shown freely at the classes during the soviet era. Also there are films depicting various events and everyday life at the University. Videotape archives and video.ut.ee server Since the end of the 80s and beginning of 90s local events in Tartu and Tartu University have been recorded on videotapes by our multimedia department, resulting in a collection of hundreds of films on VHS, SVHS, miniDV and other magnetic media. The main emphasis has been on cultural events such as music festivals and drama festivals, various students- related activities and so on. Starting from 2004 most of the recordings have been made digitally, lectures and conferences recorded straight to hard disk, and a lot of them are available for watching on the internet address http://video.ut.ee. In 2004 digitizing of old VHS videotapes to DVDs began. It was already a critical time by then because picture quality of the VHS recordings was deteriorating rapidly, especially colors were fading out on older tapes, which is typical behaviour. These tapes are currently 3 being transferred to DVD discs and because of the lack of technical staff this process will move on slowly, taking another 4 or 5 years to complete. Most interesting are the recordings of Estonia regaining freedom and publicly exposing our national flag on the streets of Tartu again in 1988 - the first time in nearly 50 years. These recordings are now digitized and available for local viewing at the library on DVDs and possibly on the Internet soon. Sound recordings have also been made at the University's multimedia studio since 1957, featuring interviews and talk-shows with renowned scientists and professors, who reminisce past times and talk generally about their work. In a sense this is even more vital and interesting information about these times compared to the films from the same era. In 2001 a whole film collection was donated to Tartu University by Chronos Film Studios in Germany – a very well known producer of documentary films which is owned by von zur Mühlen family, who were originally from Estonia and were forced to leave Estonia in 1940s. The von zur Mühlen collection consists of 65 Betacam cassettes and around 80 VHS cassettes with footage material about Estonia regaining freedom at the end of the 1980s, also documentaries with Lennart Meri, Jaan Kross and other renowned estonians, and so on. These films were all transferred to DVDs professionally by Orbital Vox Studios in Tallinn, and are also available for local use at the Tartu University library. Together with recordings made by Tartu University at the same time they form an outstanding collection of estonian contemporary history captured on video. Currently we practice analogue video digitization to DVDs. Why is that? Why DVDs? Today in 2007 it still seems that archiving video to DVD is a fairly good idea. After all, MPEG-2 codec presents good enough picture quality, especially when converting from older formats like VHS or even film. While new codecs and formats emerge (Blu-ray, HD-DVD), older ones as MPEG-2 DVD discs are still usable and supported by all hardware and software players. Typical recordable DVD disc today holds 4,5 GB of data or 2 hours of standard- quality video, which is enough for digitizing VHS and film. Newest regulations in Estonia suggest MPEG4 codec as standard for archiving digital video, but this codec has yet to become universal standard as widely supported as MPEG-2 and MPEG-1. Let's also keep in mind that DVDs offer more than just storage for moving pictures – you can design menus, include photo slideshows and also authorise subtitles and subpictures – so we can say that DVD has a specific kind of functionality which also may deem to need long-term preservation in the future. In our case, menus are mostly machine-generated menus and it is not important to include them on streaming processes. However, it is important to include menus and bonus materials into preservation process. While digitizing analogue to DVD benefits in usability (ease of use) and maybe even preservation point of view, those DVDs are determined for local use at the library only. However, it is fairly easy to convert the content of these DVDs into streaming media format and offer broadcast over Internet as an additional value-based service. 4 DSPACE Considering the existance of all these film and video collections led us at the Tartu University Library to a decision to start managing all these collections properly, as well as digitizing old collections and making them available to a general public again. That means proper cataloguing of all the items, digitizing and storing original materials in proper archival conditions suitable for long-term preservation. It was decided that server copies must also be made in streaming media format for an easy access on the Internet. Now let me show you our streaming video server video.ut.ee. Here in this server we collect streaming video broadcasts of many activities taking place at the University. These have been recorded digitally to hard disk and also to magnetic media such as miniDV and later authorized to DVD – so there are superior quality copies on DVD. Again, you can see that we are archiving to DVD. This is a Microsoft Server 2003 running Microsoft Streaming Media Services and that means files are in windows media video format, which are of quite an average picture quality. However, since windows media codec and windows media applications are so well integrated into Microsoft Windows operating system, this video server is able to stream windows media video at very high volumes of file requests. (HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS MEDIA SERVER - SLIDE) There are around 1500 windows media files on this server right now, totalling around 130 gigabytes. While Windows Media Server is good for streaming media, it has a major misadvantage built into its system as well. Because the Windows Media Server system runs on the regular Microsoft NTFS filesystem, files are not safe on these hard disks. Information can be accidentally deleted or it can get corrupted in various ways, even without the human factor. Further, corrupted files can get backupped without anyone noticing and once the corrupted or missing files are discovered, it may be too late and all the backups may have been overwritten, thus erasing valuable data. This is why we started lookng for a better solution to safeguard our data. The issue of long-term preservation of digitized information on dedicated digital repository servers has been in the air for quite some time already. Recent years have seen the development of such software by many European and American institutions, and many more institutions like universities, research centers, libraries and even archives have started using their solutions. There are many instances of digital repository software around the world that you can download and start to use instantly. Here you can see some of them. (SLIDE - DR) There are different ways or different philosophies of how digital preservation works. We are all familiar of how rapidly technology changes including our own home computers and cell phones. Older software may not work on a new computer and new file formats hardly play on older computer systems. This has led the developers of digital repository software to find solutions of how to guarantee the access to your data, no matter how old it is. (SLIDE – strategies) 5 For instance, BBC announced several months ago that they're using old Windows 3.1 version running on Windows Vista PC to get access to their old files. This is one way to go – you have to preserve software or even hardware to be able to read your files some 15 years from now. Here are some of the other methods or strategies. Of course you can combine them or use different strategies at once. Tartu University Library chose Dspace as its digital repository software in 2006. Dspace is being developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology in cooperation with Hewlett- Packard Laboratories and these institutions have taken the responsibility to best fulfill the long-term preservation goal, however they're doing it, I'm even not sure. From what I have read, they plan to combine different preservation strategies or even run different sets of strategies at once, thus being able to engineer and backward engineer all the Dspace software probably is the most developed digital repository software right now, with its main emphasis being focused on long-term preservation of digital content and scalability of services. The software has been described as Information-Centric – the developers wish to construct a system that will enable the information that the system deals with, to outlive the system itself. This means that the historic so-called "silo-oriented" views of information living inside an asset management system will not be sufficient anymore. Systems and services in the future will flow around existing information assets, and standards-based mechanisms for access to those assets will need to be a part of the infrastructure. Of course, in many cases there are no clear standards, or existing standards are being developed all the time. In these cases the developers of Dspace have taken the duty to test, inform, and influence the development of useful and appropriate standards to guarantee the survival of information over the changes of technology. Dspace also has Low Adoption Barriers, meaning that maintenance and development costs are both being low – software is relatively easy to install, administer and configure to your specific needs. Hewlett-Packard and MIT have agreed to license all software produced within the joint project with an open-source licence, meaning that the use of the software is free for everyone and all costs administering Dspace relate to hardware and infrastructure only (which are very important, of course). After the initial experiences with Dspace I can say that Dspace is great for archiving various text-based research materials like Adobe pdf files, Microsoft documents and so on, and also pictures - photos, maps, digitized books, autographs and so on. Since Dspace's main goal is preservation, it is actually very hard to delete something from the Dspace hard disks – the files just stay there – you can remove the links to the files but the information is always there and you can always restore the links to the files – so you have to be careful in selecting what to submit, and you have to make clear the information you submit is indeed finished work and not a work in progress. You cannot make changes to the archived files later on. Audio-video technology however isn't that well supported – as of now, DSpace is not yet able to properly stream A/V and there are limitations to the filesizes of uploaded files, which can get very large in the case of video. You can store regular MPEG files or other common video files, but to watch them you have to download the entire file, although progressive download seems to work well in the case of windows media video. Hopefully proper video streaming mechanisms will be developed into DSpace software soon. 6 So it has come that what we started as a digital video repository server has turned out as a digital repository server for electronic documents other than audio-video, which is also a good thing of course. As you can see, there are already over a thousand dissertations and thesises submitted, and all of these are fully accessible and searchable not only by metadata but even from full text. Being Open Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting supported means that these electronic documents are indexed by big search engines such as Google or OAIster, Open Archives Initiative's own search engine. Regarding video, our current plan is to archive disk image files of the DVDs as ISO formatted files at the Dspace server, and offer streaming media previews via Microsoft Windows Media server – so our DVDs will be safely stored on hard disks and preserved long-term. ISO disc image format is also a very standardized file format, allowing to acces the content of DVDs or CDs even without converting or writing the files to optical media, as of now there are many software players capable of handling ISO files as if they were regular DVDs. Disc image format is a great solution in that it makes the disc image files media-independent, while at the same time acting as if the files were on optical disc. Even if physical DVD discs become obsolete in the future, you can still use the ISO files. So, it seems to be safe to preserve ISO disc image files long-term, and it seems pretty likely that further development will be done in this direction by big corporations soon. After all, the Moving Pictures Expert Group – the developer of the new MPEG-A codec, has specified ISO file format for storage of information. (SLIDE – three sites) Regardless of the repository server handling archival tasks, proper metadata will be generated in MARC format on yet another server running Innovative Millennium software, and appropriate links will be generated between the two or even three servers. Initial metadata will be generated in Dspace server for automated metadata harvesting, more thorough descriptions of archival items will be generated in the Innovative Millennium server. So – our current plan is to have 3 servers, WMV files being on Windows Media Services server, archived ISO files on Dspace server and proper metadata on the Innovative Millennium server all linked to each other by URLs. This of course means a lot of handwork, and maybe it is best to create a web site to bring all the information together and present all the films and related materials in one place. There are some possibilities of crosslinking the contents, as illustrated in this case (WEB - MATI UNT). Here, the video is on the Windows Media Server, fully streaming and you can skip to whatever position you like. It is actually an unofficial solution or simply an experiment, by inserting a special kind of code into MARC bibliographic record we discovered that we can have a fully working video window inside the MARC record. It seems to work well on all Windows computers and also Mac computers, but it seems you have to install necessary software to get it working on Linux computers. Linux operating systems do not like Microsoft formats by default. (HERE YOU CAN SEE A MAC SCREENSHOT – that the embedded Windows Media Player has simply been substituted by Apple's Quicktime player, and working just fine) 7 This is an unofficial solution and may not work after the next Millennium software update, but at least it is possible to do it that way now. Common Creative Licence - It will offer the ability to release audio visual content for viewing, coping and sharing, but with some rights reserved to author, such as commercial exploitation.
