If you've thought about becoming a published children's author, enter the 2011 Children's Book of the Year contest sponsored by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) in cooperation with Charlesbridge Publishing of Boston.
The following statement can be attributed to MEA President Steven Cook in response to today's education budget proposals from Gov. Rick Snyder:
Through the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), school districts now have access to data that links students, their courses and the teacher of that course through the Teacher Student Data Link (TSDL). Currently, the data only reflects spring 2011 high school tests.
The House Oversight, Reform and Ethics Committee heard testimony this week on HB 5023-5026, a package of anti-union bills meant to curtail the powers of labor unions. HB 5025—which requires annual written consent from employees to have union dues deducted from their paychecks—was the topic of most of the testimony.
Ahead of the Governor's State of the State address on Wednesday, Michigan leaders are urging the Governor and Legislature to change direction in order to help our students and workers succeed, protect our families and revitalize our economy.
A workshop designed especially for persistently lowest achieving schools (PLAS) is scheduled for January 20 at MEA Headquarters from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
Quality and accountability were key issues during the debate on SB 618 to lift the cap on charter schools. The only amendment to pass dealing with the issues created a bicameral, bipartisan workgroup focusing on "improving the educational quality in all public schools for all pupils."
Look for the Labor Freedom Act to surface in January if the Michigan Freedom to Work (MIFTW) group has any say. Their goal is to turn Michigan into a right-to-work state and they are encouraging Republicans to take up the legislation.
For the third time, Michigan has missed out on federal Race to the Top funding—this time for early childhood development programs.
The House Redistricting and Elections Committee reported out HB 5085 and 5086 with substitutes to the House floor on party-line votes. The bills would prohibit school districts from payroll deducting employee's political action contributions.

Saving Animals in the Wild: The Zoo's Top Field Conservation Efforts of 2014
Happy New Year! As we look back on 2014, let's reflect on some of the Zoo's significant contributions to wildlife conservation in the field this past year:
Helping Lions Thrive in Kenya's South Rift Valley
Since 2011, the Zoo has partnered with the African Conservation Centre and the South Rift Association of Land Owners in Kenya on the Rebuilding the Pride program. This community-based conservation program combines Maasai tradition and modern technology to restore a healthy lion population while reducing the loss of livestock to lions in Kenya's South Rift Valley. Once down to a low of about 10 known lions in the area, the population has grown to more than 65 lions in 2014. This past April, a lioness named Nasha gave birth to another litter, this one containing three cubs. That the population is growing in the South Rift Valley at a time when lion populations are severely declining across the continent overall is significant and a testament to program's community-based approach.
A Giant Step Forward for Sumatran Rhinos in the Wild
The Zoo has been committed to saving the Sumatran rhino for 25 years. Despite the devastating blow of the loss of our female rhino, Suci, back in March, the Zoo continues to work to conserve and protect the species. In 2014, a Debt-for-Nature deal was struck between the United States and Indonesia. In return for lowering the debt Indonesia owes to the United States, it will commit nearly $12 million towards the conservation and protection of critically endangered species, including the Sumatran rhino, and their habitats over the next seven years. The debt swap was made possible by a contribution of about $11.2 million from the U.S. government under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act (first introduced by Ohio Senator Rob Portman in 1998) and $560,000 from other organizations funneled through Conservation International. The Zoo was proud to help secure this funding by pledging a major gift.
Saving American Chestnut Trees with Cryopreserved Pollen
The magnificent American chestnut tree once ranged over the entire Eastern United States, but was almost entirely obliterated by blight by the mid-twentieth century. Over the years, breeders have been working to develop a resistant tree, and one of their key tools is pollen. American chestnut pollen rapidly declines in viability so maintaining important lines of pollen from year to year is difficult. In 1993, pollen was cryopreserved (frozen) in liquid nitrogen at the Zoo's Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW). Last spring, some of that pollen was removed and used to successfully pollinate trees at the American Chestnut Foundation's farm in Virginia. Paternity testing will be done at CREW this winter, but the indications are very good that cryopreservation can indeed maintain pollen viability for at least 20 years—a fact that should provide a new tool to those working to save this majestic American tree.
Committing to Kea Conservation in New Zealand
Over the past few years, the Zoo has supported the Kea Conservation Trust's (KCT) efforts to protect and study New Zealand's mountain parrot, the kea, in the wild. In 2014, the Zoo stepped up its efforts with a commitment to support the Kea-Community Conflict Response Plan, a multi-year proactive community-focused conflict response and resolution program. Funds from the Zoo support a key personnel position, the Community Volunteers Coordinator, who can respond to conflict situations that arise. Funds will also enable KCT staff to enhance their conflict resolution skills by participating in a Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration Workshop. Additionally, Zoo aviculturists will join the KCT team for kea nest monitoring and field work over the next couple of years.
Pledging Support for Panthera's Tigers Forever Initiative
The Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers of which there are fewer than 3,200 remaining in the wild. In 2014, we have pledged multi-year support of the tiger conservation efforts of Panthera, the leading international wild cat conservation organization with a mission to ensure the future of wild cats through scientific leadership and global conservation action. To ensure the tiger's survival, Panthera works across Asia with numerous partners to end the poaching of tigers for the illegal wildlife trade, prevent tiger deaths due to conflict with humans and livestock, and protect tiger prey species and habitat. Through their program, Tigers Forever, Panthera works to protect and secure key tiger populations and ensure connectivity between sites so that tigers can live long into the future.
Restoring Native Wetlands and Wildlife in Mason, Ohio
In 1995, a 529-acre farm in Mason, Ohio, now called the EcOhio Farm, was willed to the Zoo with the guideline that it could never be developed unless it is to further the mission of the Zoo. Over the past few years, the Zoo has worked to restore 30 of the farm's acres to its original state of a wet sedge meadow, providing refuge for a diversity of native wildlife. Since restoration began in 2012, drainage tiles have been removed and more than 200 native plant species and thousands of trees have been planted on the site. The wetland is returning to its natural state very quickly. Already, it has attracted more than 135 native bird species, including bald eagles, bobolinks and killdeer, which would never have been there when it was a cornfield. Though not currently open to the public, walking trails and a small education center may be implemented in the future to provide opportunities to explore the wetland.
Strengthening our Support for Gorillas in the Republic of Congo
Over the past 20 years, the Zoo has partnered with the Nouabale Ndoki Project (NNP) in the Republic of Congo, which includes the Mbeli Bai Study, the longest running study of the critically endangered western lowland gorilla. The Zoo also supports work in an area called Mondika where gorillas are habituated for up close research and ecotourism. Habituation is a process through which the wild gorillas become accustomed to and tolerate the presence of people that enables researchers and tourists to observe them up close. The Zoo recently helped facilitate the habituation of a second group of gorillas, and entered into an agreement in 2014 to support the habituation of a third group over the next three years. Special thanks goes to Gorilla Glue, our official gorilla conservation sponsor!
All of these projects and more couldn't happen without your support of the Zoo. Here's to you and the Zoo making more great strides for wildlife conservation in 2015!

Celebrate International Tiger Day and Meet our Malayan Tigers
July 29 is International Tiger Day and we invite you to come celebrate with us at the Malayan tiger exhibit in Cat Canyon. We will have special activities and presentations occurring throughout the day from 10:00am to 3:00pm, including opportunities to learn about tigers and conservation from our zookeepers and interpretive staff.
Meet our Malayan tiger brothers, Taj and Who-Dey! When Cat Canyon opened in 2012, the Zoo teamed up with the Cincinnati Bengals to help conserve these beautiful animals. Who-Dey was named by Cincinnati Bengals fans and Taj was named by Zoo supporters. The brothers, who turn seven on July 30, often come up close to the viewing glass at their exhibit. They enjoy relaxing in the pool, especially on sunny days, and getting meaty treats from their keepers during daily presentations for the public.
The Malayan tiger is one of the smallest of the six tiger subspecies, ranging from about 220 pounds to 400 pounds. Native to Malaysia and southern Thailand, it preys on deer, wild pigs and cattle, and has been known to travel up to 20 miles in search of prey. The orange-and-black stripes provide excellent camouflage in the forests where they live. Tigers also have white spots on the back of their ears, which are surrounded by black fur and give the appearance of false eyes. This is another form of camouflage, giving the impression that they are staring right at potential intruders when its back is turned.
The Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers of which there are fewer than 3,200 remaining in the wild. Over the next three years, we have pledged to support the tiger conservation efforts of Panthera. Panthera is the leading international wild cat conservation organization with a mission to ensure the future of wild cats through scientific leadership and global conservation action.
To ensure the tiger's survival, Panthera works across Asia with numerous partners to end the poaching of tigers for the illegal wildlife trade, prevent tiger deaths due to conflict with humans and livestock, and protect tiger prey species and habitat. Through their program, Tigers Forever, Panthera works to protect and secure key tiger populations and ensure connectivity between sites so that tigers can live long into the future.
"When it comes to saving tigers, nobody gets results like Dr. Alan Rabinowitz and his team at Panthera. It is a crying shame that tigers are being illegally poached for their skin and bones, but by inspiring our visitors to the Cincinnati Zoo and partnering with Panthera, we remain dedicated to our belief that there is still room in this world for great cats." – Thane Maynard, Cincinnati Zoo Director
Taj and Who-Dey hope to see you at the Zoo on International Tiger Day!

The American Hockey League playoffs did not start out well for the Syracuse Crunch - but when it mattered, the Crunch turned it around and built a two-games-to-none lead in its opening-round series against the Portland Pirates.
Saturday evening at the Onondaga County War Memorial, Portland had control before the home team flourished, overcoming deficits of 2-0, 3-1, and 3-2 before it was over.
It was the Crunch's Dan Sexton who tied it at 3-3 at the 12:35 mark, and forward Richard Panick converted the game-winner in overtime after a 5 minute Boris Valabik boarding penalty, and the animated crowd of 5,123 celebrated the 4-3 outcome of a hard fought battle.
Even though Syracuse had won, it still paid a price. Panick received six stitches over his right eye during the second intermission. J.P. Brown and J.T. Wyman hobbled off the ice midway into the second period, but both players returned to action.
One day later at the War Memorial, there were 10 fights, 60 penalty minutes and players who were ejected and banged up in the process. Putting all of that hostility to the side, the Crunch won an 3 ½ hour intense battle, 4-2 over the Pirates, courtesy of a goal and an assist from Andrei Palat and J.T Brown.
While many players in this heated contest lost their composure, Crunch goaltender Cedrick Desjardin was sharp, stopping 18 out of 20 shots en-route to Syracuse's second straight playoff win. Portland counterpart Chad Johnson was not as fortunate, allowing four goals on 30 total shots.
In these two games, Palat contributed a goal and four assists, while linemate Tyler Johnson produced two scores and three assists.
Throughout Game 2, Syracuse was lured into a few penalties, but it was mostly able to overcome them, thwarting 12 out of 13 Portland power-play attempts, also finishing with 17 blocks, and six intercepted passes.

Hi, I'm Ian (HerculeS) I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Games Design at UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire.) I'm currently producing a total conversion mod for Call of Duty 4. The Mod is based off the No.1 Sci-Fi series Stargate SG-1, Where you travel from Earth to other planets in totally different galaxies, and fighting a dangerous enemy who have slaved millions of humans they are known as the Goa'uld.
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

Greg Jennings has put his house in snowy and cold Wisconsin up for sale, and now he's aware of that fact that his relocation will probably a permanent one. Jennings who is a free agent and most likely will not return to Green Bay will have his list of suitors, but Jennings seems to want a warm weather relocation, and according to Pro Football Talk, "he wouldn't mind playing in Miami." "I wouldn't mind that at all," Jennings said. "The weather's definitely nice. They have an up and coming quarterback and they definitely have a defense that's pretty solid and some pieces on offense that are pretty solid as well." The Dolphins do need a playmaker on the outside, having only Brian Hartline and Davone Bess as decent targets for Ryan Tannehill. Jennings has wanted for sometime to be the main guy and get all the attention, so I think Miami should be his choice.

We have stayed before but brought my Mom for the first time to enjoy the experience of the B&B. Daryl and Cindy did a wonderful job on the Mother's Day Champagne Brunch. We enjoyed our stay greatly. Favorite rooms are the Country Suite and the Vineyard Suite. My Mom thanks Cindy for sending so quickly some very important items left in room! Looking forward to our next stay soon:)
Innkeeper Response
We make certain things left behind are linked up with their owners so everyone will be happy, that's our job and, more important, our pleasure to make everyone happy.

Great place to get away for some relaxation! The stay here paired with a weekend of wine tasting was just what we needed. The room was clean, cozy and fairly large. Everyone was really nice and we look forward to coming back again.

As we drove up to Lucinda's I first noticed the setting which was all natural and beautiful. The rooms are all very spacious, like a one bedroom apartment and each has a different theme, the bathrooms are fabulous. It was so nice to get up to coffee, juice, fresh fruit, hash browns, eggs, fresh made scones. We are planning on bringing friend next time.

Great place, large spacious room with kitchen eminities. Large shower with overhead and side nozzles, fireplace, balcony seating and more. Owners are friendly and attentive. Very good getaway, lots of wineries nearby.
Enjoy the beauty and fun of Laguna Beach, CA in this bright, whismical room. The rock wall with waterfall shower epitomizes the Southern California beach town. The sandy floors around the wall mounted vessel sink invite you to play. The snack bar provides space for your own style of making fun. The sitting area with fireplace envelopes you with comfort. The window sitting area gives you view of the 100 year old Oak Tree. There is plenty of space for privacy when a caregiver or others spend the night.
Nightly Rate: $180 - $180
The Fair Play Wine Appellation is the cornerstone to this room. We are the heart and soul of lodging in El Dorado County's Wine Country. Enjoy the excitement of the full body shower with the seven shower heads. The Rain-head floods you head to toe while the 4 side body heads cascades over your muscles for that full body shower message effect. Your own private wine bar lets you sample your favorite wines from your day of wine tasting. While settling into bed for a relaxing nights sleep on the over stuffed mattress in the king size bed, you can star gaze through the skylight.
Nightly Rate: $180 - $180
This room is named after a beautiful German girl, it brings Europe to Fair Play. The rich colors and Old World decor make European charm. The tile soaking tub makes one dream of Ancient Roman Baths. The arches feel as though you are washing in the canals of Venice. Enjoying some wine, bubbly or morning coffee at the bistro table in the arched alcove is a pure delight. The Beate allows guests traveling together who want luxury; a queen size hi-tech hide-a-bed gives comfort. The main sleeping area and the bathroom have a private door; this allows private access to the bath.
Nightly Rate: $205 - $205
Relax in the whirlpool tub; it's big enough for two. The two-sided see through fireplace creates excitement as you relax in the sitting area in the lounge chairs while viewing a DVD. The deck is protected from the sun by a majestic oak tree; you feel as though you are in a tree house. The quite seclusion affords you the opportunity to clear your mind of all cares and concerns. RELAX. RELAX.
Nightly Rate: $205 - $205
When you want privacy and a cozy environment, the Fair Play Cottage is for you. The whirlpool tub has a see-through fireplace at the foot of the tub. It has its own heating-A/C unit for year around comfort. The pine wood floors were milled from the Ponderosa Pines harvested from this property.

The callups are out of the lineup tonight for Louisville. Bats getting clubbed, 8-3, in the sixth. Phipps and Negron have two hits each.
Dayton scores 4 in the fourth to go up 4-3. Torreyes has two hits. Hamilton has been picked off.
Bats down 11-4 in the seventh. Reineke gave up the first seven and Christiani gave up the next 4.
Carolina looks like they are off tonight.
Bakersfield plays at 10:30 tonight.
Dayton tied at four in the sixth. All of the Dragons' starters but Bowe have a hit. Robles was responsible for all four runs.
Billings tied at 1 in the first. Ryan Wright hit his 6th home run of the year.
Daniel Wolford just gave up a run. It is his first since June.
Billings dropped a 7 spot in the 2nd inning. They are up 8-1.
Micheal Griffin pitches the 9th for the Bats, allowing an unearned run on two hits and two wild pitches. Apparently he is thinking about becoming a pitcher next season - he has been having bullpen sessions with Ted Power.
Blaine Howell (he's good) went the final two and Dayton won, 6-5, on the strength of two eighth-inning runs. Hamilton, in addition to being picked off earlier, was thrown out stealing. He's having a tough time with these last five bags.
After five innings, Bryson Smith has this: 3-4, 2B, 3B, HR, 5 RBIs. Needs that single.
For that matter, Ryan Wright (2-4) has the 3B and HR. Juan Perez is 3-4 and Sammy Diaz 2-2. It's 12-4. Billings has 31 total bases.
With today's loss, the Bats have officially been eliminated from the playoffs. 2008 - 2010 was a great run!
Matt Fairel's 11.88 ERA might suggest that he hasn't fully recovered from his surgery, or whatever it was that kept him out for most of the year. Bakersfield trails 8-1 in the third.
Ryan Wright got a double. So now he, like Smith, needs a single for the cycle. Wright is batting now, in the eighth, with Smith to follow.

29 year old man | Gilbert, AZ, USA | Seeking women 23-32 within 75 miles of Phoenix, AZ
Chase your dream and enjoy the ride!
Outgoing, ambitious, kind hearted man with a good sense of humor. If you're interested in meeting a guy who doesn't turn into a creep show (as I know there are many of them on this site), then look no further. I recently moved to Phoenix for work, and couldn't be more excited to be here. I work hard and take a lot of pride in my career and what I do. However, I also value spending quality time with friends and family and enjoying the simple things in life. I've always enjoyed being spontaneous and trying new things. I believe stepping outside of your comfort zone and being adventurous once in a while is a healthy thing. It puts you in a state of vulnerability, which makes you stronger and a far better person in the long run. In my spare time I like to be active. I love to travel, workout, go to comedy shows, country concerts, camping, surfing, skydiving, read and watch/play sports. The list goes on... As far as relationships go, I'm looking for someone who doesn't play games, is outgoing, honest, spontaneous, likes to dance, laugh, and try new things. Date nights out are always a good time, but nothing wrong with a wine and Netflix night in, either. If you think you fit the mold feel free to reach out and we'll see where it goes!
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

So far my favorite destination I've been to is Hawaii. However, I like to travel whenever I get the chance, so I plan to see much more of what the world has to offer in the years to come.

For all those riding along on the Tony Parker MVP Bandwagon, the road to the Maurice Podoloff Trophy has hit a few potholes. And it's not because Parker is out for a month with a bum ankle. No, because the Spurs never seem to hit any potholes. San Antonio just keeps winning, moving to 2-0 without Parker after rolling over the Chicago Bulls in the second half in Wednesday night's 101-83 whitewash. Tony is certainly missed, not that anyone can tell. "It's going to be hard without Tony to win these games," Kawhi Leonard said earlier this week. Really? In the two games since Parker sprained his left ankle against Sacramento, the Spurs have crushed their foes by 57 points. MVP voters see that. They see a team that continues to operate in the next-man-up system. Not that Parker was going to overtake LeBron James in the MVP race anyway, but French point guard was at least in the conversation. He'll still be in it when he get back, it's just the talk will be whether Parker finishes i...

It sealed a remarkable turnaround, as the pair came dead last two days ago - which Gallagher said shattered her confidence in her ability.

Re: IR35 - typical LibLabCon PoS
First down-arrow within 3 hours, late on a Sunday evening.
Great to get a reaction so quickly from the Leftist web-lurkers who so dislike criticism of their crap ideology.
68 posts • joined 1 Apr 2010
First down-arrow within 3 hours, late on a Sunday evening.
Great to get a reaction so quickly from the Leftist web-lurkers who so dislike criticism of their crap ideology.
IR35, being brought in by Brown under Blair, is everything you would expect in a piece of legal shit from NuLabour and LibLabCon:
- weasel worded, not clearly defined, to make many interpretations available to 'civil servants';
- selective of which legal clauses apply (even if you haven't been a part of that legal agreement, or even had sight of it).
- as interpreted by 'civil servants' it will always be used by them in typical manner, or rather tyrannical manner, so that they try to bully those they hold in contempt (ordinary taxpayers) while being ready to let their mates (BBC etc) use it to disguise employment and reduce tax payments (now somewhat addressed at the BBC after newspaper stories revealing what they had been secretly doing).
This description can apply to much of the legislation brought in by NuLabour (not repealed by the LibCons, who therefore must agree with it), and such legislation is designed to be obscure and thereby oppress, as you cannot know for sure your rights under law.
Very different to the tax laws loosely applied to large corporations and their professional tax advisors (I nearly said 'evaders' - whoops!) who, coincidentally, tend to employ senior 'civil servants' in lucrative positions after they have helped implement tax legislation.
I suppose I ought to sign up - I am beginning to think this country is run by the EU.
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
How's he going to improve if no-one corrects him?
Now he's a bit better informed, would he care to clear up the errors with all the millions he has misled, or will he instead prefer to maintain his 'expert' image?
Because when information is broadcast to millions of people that information should be as accurate as possible, especially if it is being presented to them as authoritatively correct.
Still, your post is on-message with the BBC: 'We are the good guys so anything we do or say is, by definition, always right and good, and so anyone who opposes us must be evil. When we tell a fib it is good - what's the harm? Barely anyone will remember. But if someone tells a disagreeable truth we will smear them or ignore them. It's a good life we are writing over British society.'.
Hah! That would put them in an apparently difficult position to meet the criteria "...advertising in all media is legal, decent, honest and truthful, to the benefit of consumers, business and society"*, unless, of course, we have more manipulative censoring of the media?
That's what mostly irritates me about Stephen Fry's being widely accepted as technically authoritative.
It's just like watching important management decisions about IT being influenced by the tall well-spoken chap with the great looking head of hair, who is actually technically ignorant but can really convey confidence primarily because he's not trying to impart understanding.
Completely ignoring the abuse/exploitation of women's bodies angle to discuss the inadequacies of the perp's "skills" as a voyeur.
What really makes that aspect so appealing is the irony that there was probably a trained monkey in that store that could have done a 'better' job.
...doesn't tell if the camel survived the head-on collision
Just a couple of bumps. Pretty much as expected with Camel Sense Multiple Arabs with Collision Detection?
I dunno, but which do you think is easier to model:
- the complex interactions of a system with unknown variables where new items are frequently popping up,
- a set of numbers which would be effective for marketing and seeking funding?
Outsource the job to aliens who claim to have the advanced technology to have done it already! Simples, and big bonuses for the board!
Hey Klarg, have we got a backup we can restore from?

*Yeah, ok, I know - technically (and possibly politically) incorrect.
'cheap deer' - UEA post-modern binary
I really like your last sentence for having two relevant interpretations.
Also, your "...awesome phone..." comment hit an issue I was discussing with some friends yesterday: when idly comparing brief experiences of the various 7-inch tablets available we found more freedom and flexibility in the cheap products from an apparently totalitarian and/or communist state* than in what we were offered by more commonplace commercial companies, which had limitations geared around target consumers or targeting behaviour in a broader selection of consumers.
Of course build quality, reliability and support were agreed as being difficulties with the cheap items, but if you're only looking at a product lifetime of six-months or a year, and making them cheap enough to throw away and replace...well, how does that weigh in the balance with broader functionality?
At the moment I see these companies as responding to what consumers really want to do with what they can spend, and see the more stodgy established companies as mainly keeping on offering limited choices when they hope the limitation will hold some appeal with ideas for safe walled-garden or cloud-backup/transfer.
*Disclaimer - This description is not to be taken as accurate or reliable. I have never been to China, nor do I know any Chinese people to a level where they would confide in me their experiences in China. I have sometimes listened to the bone-headed news in the MSM.
"...Blighty's big name ISPs were told by Mr Justice Arnold to kill access to The Pirate Bay website..."
Hmm, does this mean these ISPs are legally obliged not to let any networked traffic out of their own networks - bearing in mind once a person can get out on to the internet they can definitely access TPB?
Users do not "...want compatibility with their windows programs"; what they want is to easily do things they find useful. From the increase in usage of Linux, and especially the uptake of Android tablets, it is very clear they are not 'loyal' in some way to Windows programs but just interested in cheap convenient (handy and portable) functionality.
Not being blighted with bloat, Linux can get more performance from a lower spec system than any current Microsoft OS (so MSoft needs a higher spec than Linux) and therefore Linux has recently been the natural OS for any small cheap portable computers provided it can be useful.
But to be useful Linux needs to run an appropriate application in a way that is easily accessible to the user, and as most users are not CLI literate that means using a graphic interface.
So scotching the Linux graphic interface keeps netbooks from being cheap and useful, and for most users it just kills off the netbook and then leads in to the much more expensive higher-spec netbook replacements.
However, this approach is likely to fail on the cheap and convenient requirements which most purchasers still have (not being 'loyal' to spending more money than they have to, or buying more hardware than they need to), which is why they are so enthusiastic about cheap Android tablets (Warning - these tablets may give Microsoft the shits!).
"Noo it was slow single core CPUs, slow 4200rpm HDDS and 600 pixel depth screens that killed them.
The Intel graphics was the least of the worries."
I'm guessing the 'HD graphics' thing is a bit of misunderstanding.
Dual core netbooks with Intel GMA 3600/3650 GPU and the graphics drivers unavailable for Linux really didn't help make netbooks more useful, though, seeing as it was Linux that made netbooks really perform.
Checkout Atom N2600 and N2800 associated problems mentioned here:
and here:
Quoted from the Linuxmint forum, with my emphasis in bold:
Last generation of Intel Atoms: CedarView (D2300, D2500, D2550, D2600, D2700) and Cedar Trail (N2600, N2700, N2800) SoCs integrate a PowerVR GPU from Imagination instead of the usual Intel GPU. [...] An unsupported graphic card on Linux distributions, and which can't properly support a basic desktop environnment like Unity or Gnome 3.
Yeah, with the Atom N2800 able to support 4GB memory (http://ark.intel.com/products/58917) it seems perverse it should come with the limited Win7 Starter, and also not fully support Linux. I'm sure it made some sort of sense to someone to keep netbooks restricted by the OS. (Oooh look at the shiney new thing over there - touch the $hiney, shiney screen! - £ove the shiney!)
Atom N2600 and N2800 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_N2600#.22Cedarview.22_.2832_nm.29_2
Nice one!
Does anyone else think it sounds a bit like a cross between the heroic Gordon Brown and spaced-out Charlie Sheen?
"...Brian Cox paraphrased this recently - but it's allowed as Feynman is his hero."
I'm guessing, though, that given the choice of Feynman's Cargo Cult Science lecture, or having his face on the box for BBC-Green fees...
But why guess, he's ALWAYS on the box, isn't he ?
Educashun and meeja!
Oh how oi laffs when I hears the Beeb talkin on bout sum govermints having "EU Technocrats" imposed upon 'em. Because whoever thought they could pass off ideological political stooges as in any way technically competent like engineers... well, they must be even more stupid than they believe we are just because we talk differently.
The "European trademark officials" could just do a quick search for Python in the Amazon books section, or is that too much like hard work?
It's just an intellectual land-grab - are there no laws* against this? [/Rhetorical - don't waste your time.]
Will not be surprised if Veber hurriedly trademark the increasingly popular and likely very productive :
'Flaming Torch'
'Piano-wire and Lamp-post'.
*[Use of 'law' is possibly a trademarked word or idea within the EU so fees may be liable - lawyers will decide. The phrase 'law' does not imply 'justice' which probably has tm pending by some ethically worthless bunch of conniving shysters.]
It's one for the techies and BB phone users - just search on the number of on-line videos for sorting out Playbook issues, take a look at the vids and form your own opinion.
Despite what some enthusiasts may say there are issues bringing over Android apps (sideloading, supply and performance), though this must be improving as BB make the effort to bring in more apps and experince/info spreads.
Playbook was also heavy-handed on the DRM when I checked it - no storing of BBC progs and difficulties with film transfers - so for me it made a mockery of the idea of watching programmes while commuting (I'm not really keen on watching just Canadian films, and I don't support the unquestioning and inappropriate application of North American DRM rules in the UK).
The whole issue is a mix of propaganda, science, facts, opinions and (semi-religious?) belief. There is no longer any distinction made in the MSM between:
- Natural Climate Change (going on before mankind existed)
- Catastrophic Anthropomorphic Global Warming (unhelpfully alarmist on so many levels).
And the people who point out the proven history of the power of natural climate change as a basis for querying the CAGW are now portrayed in the MSM as 'climate deniers', when they're the ones acknowledging the power of the climate.
It's worth remembering that, to survive, mankind needed technology to protect against and relieve some of the effects of natural climate change. Now we're being asked to believe that we should rely less on such protection, and instead divert those resources to making the climate behave 'normally'? And in the process make some unscrupulous people very, very rich?
This is why it is important that the BBC should be open about how it sources it's policy on CAGW, because we need to know if the BBC is pushing propaganda or science. It is very worrying that they spend so much money on lawyers in order to keep this secret, when it plays such a large part in shaping public opinion, and probably government policy.
Depend how many (very probably non-IT) political trolls are infesting the web.
Given the BBC Savile/Newsnight fiasco they are probably mostly targetting the less specialised mainstream sites. Still a few around though. I think some of them like this site because they confuse 'ignoring their stupidity' with 'accepting their stupidity'.
Nice going - I criticise a specific staged-for-effect lab 'experiment' and you keep my criticisms but change the context. I guess if I wrote that I'm sorry you're so transparent you'd portray that as an apology; you don't happen to write for the Grauniad, do you?
Ah, AGW 'science' - gotta love it.
Your little 'experiment' has just shown that we don't have a problem with CO2 as a greenhouse gas, because your glass cylinder containing air also contained atmosphere CO2.
If you wanted to test an atmospheric CO2 rise of some large percentage it would make very little difference because an enormous percentage rise in bugger all is still bugger all (atmospheric CO2 is approx 390 ppm making it 0.039% of air, why don't you try a 100 percent increase of CO2 to 0.078% of air in your glass jar and see how little difference that makes).
If you want to pretend that we might have a problem with warming if our whole atmosphere was CO2 I can tell you we wouldn't be around to notice it - I didn't need to model that.
You can create computer models to give any result you want from almost any data - ask UEA - but unless the models have a direct relation to real experimental data they are useless for making policy, especially SCAMMER* policies committing our civilisation to direct resources and technology away from real problems.
*SCAMMER = Science Corrupting, Alarmist, MoneyMilking-Emergency Religion
Next time BAA will have 'anti-terrorist' security staff ready to confiscate mobile phones so the BAA lies about how well they look after their customers go unchallenged in the media.
Actually, at the time, I was surprised how much coverage the BBC gave to mobile phone footage from inside Heathrow and BAA's reaction to the snow, but now the SCAMMERs* (TM) have started pushing the line that ALL nasty weather is due to MMGW/CAGW I see that coverage didn't go against the BBC agenda.
*Science Corrupting, Alarmist, MoneyMilking-Emergency Religion
A previous Reg article about this device mentioned: "an armour piercing variant - presumably intended for impact rather than airburst, and using a shaped-charge warhead ".
Given the accuracy and penetration, any possible use as a way of dealing with suspected IEDs from a distance rather than sending a man in?
AC: "...the rest of the West weren't exactly pleasant ..." You what?? Take a gander at what the Japanese are keen to keep quiet:
"Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II. It was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by Japanese personnel."
"Prisoners of war were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Scientists performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants."
I may be getting thicker as I get older but from the 'explanations' in the story I couldn't figure out what had been happening, so I followed the Kable link hoping for more info and found two sub-headings next to each other:
'Yorkshire NHS and police admit data breaches'
'NHS resumes SCR mailings to patients'
Which led me to "...a cleaner at a Rotherham hospital viewing a friend's private medical files."
To check for an organ match, perhaps?
Right, because of course consenting adults going about their lawful business should be hassled by police confusing their own individual morality with society's laws.
And prostitution isn't illegal in the UK, you ignoramus.
So, "Deputy Chief Constable Simon Byrne, ACPO's lead on prostitution and sexual exploitation ... would like to see the police setting up a database of "ugly mugs" – or individuals believed to pose a risk to sex workers."
Individuals believed to pose a risk to sex workers? - Doesn't that mean all senior plod and a lot of moralising politicians?
Run! Run, run, run away.
Headline = "Hate mob's terror reign"
Quote from article = "Police say there were no reports of any injuries to officers or members of the public and no damage reported."
Somewhat of a mismatch, I think.
AC: "We live in a very fragile world where one nut-job can push the nuke button at any time"
Sounds to me like you're in the USA.
My perspective (in Britain) is that (edited slightly) "People MIGHT POSSIBLY die as a result of these intentional disclosures of classified documents" (btw really crap security); however, if the people of Britain had similar access to secret documents before Blair took us to war because he 'knew it was right' we wouldn't be in the ...um, to simplify let's call it... totally shit position we are now with hundreds of brave service men dead and crippled - all because of official lies pushed with no real scrutiny.
So, let's look at the scores:
- leaks MAY cause deaths (so far zero announced but I'm sure MIB are trying);
- UK Government cold-blooded and self-serving secrets HAVE caused the deaths and suffering of thousands - but, to be fair, Tony is a lot, lot richer.
Well Govt should "spends money on roads, rail, armed forces, schools, health " rather than on ideological nonsense and spin-doctors, but other than that First Class.
Now please take a lead pipe and explain it to the HoC and any other politicians you meet.
That's you, isn't it Maggie? Clever using the name Ted...great double-bluff.
Ted Treen: "The trouble with socialists...is that they inevitably run out of other people's money."
Maggie Thatcher: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. "
I wonder if Maggie was thinking of a particular politician when she said: "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
Do tell.
SB: "All of them?"
Maybe just the FIT ones?
Mine's the double-sided coat with a different cap in each pocket, and a burqa in the poacher's pocket.
Some people learn from other's experiences; some have to piss on the electrified fence.
What do you think other coppers will have learned from Shaw's experiences - report corruption or keep quiet?
Will this lead to more or less corruption in the higher ranks - you know, the ones quickest to get on board with increasing politicisation of the police?
IMO most people do support the police when they go after criminals (yay Gene Hunt), but some of us feel the police are largely moving away from the public's concerns and into an us-and-them behaviour where the police are in one corner and the criminals and public are shoved together in another corner.
From this viewpoint all that has happened is that Shaw got shoved out of the police corner by the police because he stuck by the standards the public hopes the police have.
Once again I'm impressed by the the Beeb's news reporting:
cat in a bin = headlines;
corrupt coppers colluding = silence.
Maybe the Beeb regards the coppers' actions as normal/acceptable - wouldn't surprise me.
Hey El Reg, from what was reported, how come Shaw was awarded so little?
"our response to this technology challenge is compatible with the government's approach to information storage and civil liberties", i.e don't give a shit about them.
It's usually not a mutually satisfactory agreement between robber and bank though, is it?
And if there can be a mutually satisfactory agreement between sex-worker and client why should there be laws to create/increase danger for either or both, when most would accept that our laws should be created primarily to reduce intentional danger and harm rather than pander to the twisted views of those posturing as morally superior?
"Head/Helmet worn (Anti-Sniper) Laser Targeting Detection Sensors!"
Or how about something to simply foil the laser targeting, such as the always useful multi-purpose* crinkled 'tinfoil hat'?
*Can also be used, with a little loud mumbling, to get a seat on a crowded train.
Re: CCTV - if cameras work when it suits the police but don't work when it doesn't, so not both at the same time, is this a reformulation of the Cop-enhagen Interpretation?
"under Labour you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent", or as Labour regard it 'getting off this time on an unwelcome technicality'.
"I have the $350,000 house. I have the six-figure career. You may be the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize."... in any claim for compensation due to harassment and distress.
Steve Jobs says "Sorry."
Frankly I'm stunned - two more key presses than FOAD.
FUD! - the sound of the number of recommendations for Zone Alarm going through the floor.
I used to recommend Zone Alarm in order to avoid problem calls, not to generate them.
Yep, have to wonder what was said/promised and to whom to get the police to undertake this criminal investigation.

Power BI - Overview and Learning
Microsoft Power BI is a collection of online services and features that enables you to find and visualize data, share discoveries, and collaborate in intuitive new ways. There are two experiences now available for Power BI: the current experience, generally referred to as Power BI for Office 365, and a new experience for Power BI, currently offered as a Public Preview.
The new experience is centered on PowerBI.com, an online service where you can quickly create dashboards, share reports, and directly connect to (and incorporate) all the data that's important to you. The new experience also introduces the Power BI Designer, a dedicated report authoring tool that enables you to transform data, create powerful reports and visualizations, and easily publish to the PowerBI.com service. The new experience extends to all your mobile devices, too.
The current experience is enabled using Office 365, with Power BI Sites that reside in your organization's SharePoint deployment. It includes many features that let you share your findings and your reports with others inside your organization.
Both experiences help you make extensive use of Microsoft's powerful data tools, such as Power Query and Q&A, and others.
Note As the new experience for Power BI becomes generally available, an automated process will facilitate transitioning from the current experience to the new experience. More information about the transition process will be provided prior to the general availability release.
The following sections provide an overview of each experience, along with introductions and links to learn more about the details and capabilities of each offering. We start with the new experience, and then continue to the current experience.
Power BI - the new experience
In the new experience, Power BI displays dashboards on PowerBI.com that are interactive, and can be created and updated from many different data sources. Three elements are primary to the new experience on PowerBI.com:
In the new experience, you create dashboards that keep you informed about what's most important about your business. Just like a dashboard in your car displays important information about your vehicle, such as its speed, its fuel level, or how healthy the engine is, dashboard in Power BI display important information about your business.
In Power BI, dashboards display tiles that represent important information about your business. Tiles are based on reports (just like gauges are based on vehicle data from the engine, the fuel tank, or the battery). You can select a tile to explore more information from the underlying report.
The new experience also introduces a dedicated report authoring tool:
Power BI Designer
With the Power BI Designer, you get a powerful and dedicated report authoring tool that enables you to connect to and combine data from lots of different sources, using Power Query (simply called Query in the Power BI Designer). From there, you can create rich reports and visualization within the Power BI Designer (similar to Power View, but with many more visualizations). And when you're done, publishing to PowerBI.com is easy.
There's a lot more to learn about the new experience, and plenty of content to help you . The following links provide information about the new experience, and start with overview information (to get your familiar, oriented, and comfortable) then move into specifics. A separate section is dedicated to the Power BI Designer, and those links also go from overview to specifics.
Getting Started - the new experience
The following links provide guidance on the new experience in Power BI.

Fiesta kicks off at Bexar County Commissioners Court
By Eva Ruth Moravec : April 8, 2014 : Updated: April 9, 2014 12:30pm

Tuesday April 8, 2014 was Fiesta day in Bexar County Commissioners Court. Officials proclaimed "Fiesta Week," while also recognizing King Antonio XCII De Miller and El Rey Feo LXVI Jimmy Green. They also commemorated Night In Old San Antonio, the Fiesta Flambeau Night Parade Day, and designated April as "Alcohol Awareness Month."

More Information
SAN ANTONIO — Brightly colored costumes, hats and medals filled Bexar County Commissioners Court chambers Tuesday, when officials recognized Fiesta royalty and the 18-day citywide party that kicks off Thursday.
"I hate to break up a big party, but we better try to get this started," said Judge Nelson Wolff to an enthusiastic capacity crowd jangling with medals and who wholeheartedly responded "Viva!" to eight exclamations of "Viva Fiesta!"
Pct. 4 Commissioner Tommy Adkisson read proclamations to honor integral Fiesta organizations including the Texas Cavaliers and their King Antonio XCII Donald E. Miller Jr., and the Rey Feo Scholarship organization and its anointed one, El Rey Feo LXVI Jimmy Green.
Miller said his message to children this year is "You be you," which is also the title of a book he'll hand out to area students. This year, the Texas Cavaliers River Parade is set for April 21. But throughout Fiesta, Miller will hand out $350,000 to 47 charities. Since its inception, the Cavaliers have given out $3 million.
Green's organization raised $600,000 last year and gave out 129 scholarships to underprivileged, deserving local youth. According to Green, Rey Feo has given out more than $5.5 million in scholarships throughout its history.
County officials also honored the Fiesta San Antonio Commission Inc., which depends largely on an army of 75,000 volunteers to run events, as well as the organizers of the Fiesta Flambeau Night Parade on April 26 and A Night in Old San Antonio, which runs from April 22-25.
After medals were exchanged, photographs were snapped and the cheerful proclamations were read, commissioners provided a sobering reminder that too much alcohol can ruin Fiesta.
In 2012, 44 percent of people killed in crashes on Texas roads were involved in alcohol-related incidents, said Precinct 1 Commissioner Sergio "Chico" Rodriguez, while proclaiming April Alcohol Awareness Month.
"Even though the mood changed dramatically in this room," said Sheriff Susan Pamerleau, "it's important to bring attention to this so we can keep this a safe community."
Later Tuesday afternoon, Pamerleau joined Police Chief William McManus and others at the annual Fiesta DWI Roll Call at the Alamo, held to raise awareness and to show that law enforcement is united in fighting drunken drinking. Officials hope this year's event will be free of fatal DWI-related crashes, as the last three years have been.
"The cost of DWI is in the high millions, if not billions each year," McManus said. "That's just the financial part of it. The emotional part is huge. Families lose people, people are permanently injured, children are killed."

If you need any reason to figure out why people are going nuts over Empire just pay attention to the little orange demo number and then compare that to the 2 shows ranked above it in total viewers.
VH1 has premiered a ridiculously high amount of shows this month alone. Seems like a shame when 2 of them are already under a million viewers and one more has a very good chance of going under that mark tonight. Also some of you might note that extremely poor showing for the Bad Girls Club: […]
I'm not surprised with The CW's decision to renew America's Next Top Model. The way it's been used over the last 3 years isn't a very good method but they could be doing a whole lot worse with it.
I wanted to get a picture with a clear shot of more than 3 girls but we can't always get what we want. The point I'm making here is that last week's episode was a season high for the show so far but when you see the numbers you will realize that this show has […]
This is that point in the season where networks try to keep spirits high even amidst a sea of flops and underperforming shows so if the holiday movies and specials start rolling around earlier than usual it's because the network is giving up and turning their attention to January where they can start over.
