Microsoft Gazumps Mandriva in Nigeria
Nigeria's Classmate PCs will not run on Mandriva Linux, but on Windows.
Just three days ago, Mandriva proudly announced that the 17,000 Classmate PCs ordered by Nigeria would be running the French distribution. Two days ago the success story took a strange twist: Nigeria will be paying for Mandriva machines but installing Windows on them.
In his blog, the obviously irate Mandriva CEO, François Bancilhon, published an open letter to Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, giving vent to his frustration and making some fairly vague assertions:
"Wow! I'm impressed, Steve! What have you done to these guys to make them change their mind like this? It's quite clear to me, and it will be to everyone. How do you call what you just did Steve? There is various names for it, I'm sure you know them."
Mandriva will be hard hit by the loss: on the one hand the company will be losing support business, on the other hand, the order would have given Mandriva a foothold in the race for market shares of educational systems in developing countries.

1800 Capped Bust Right Eagle1800 $10 Genuine PCGS. Breen-6842, Taraszka-23, BD-1, High R.3. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Uncirculated specimen that has been cleaned on the obverse. The 1800 Capped Bust Right eagle claims a low mintage of 5,999 pieces, with a single variety known for the date. There is some doubt about the mintage figure, as die evidence indicates some examples were struck both before and after the 1801-dated BD-1 variety. John Dannreuther estimates a surviving population of 200-300 examples in all grades.
BD-1, Only Variety for the Date
BD-1, Only Variety for the Date
The present coin is an attractive example, despite the fact that the obverse shows signs of cleaning, especially in the right obverse field. The reverse remains original. Both sides exhibit sharply detailed devices, with lustrous, greenish-gold surfaces.

There, he built the company's foundation upon quality products and an expert staff of Mattress Professionals. Today, those Mattress Professionals share their wisdom at more than 1,000 showrooms across the United States, helping people figure out which sleep system is best for their body and wallet. The modern-day version of Sleepy's has grown into customers' source for the industry's top brands, including Simmons, Serta, Sealy, and Tempur-Pedic.

I want to try everything and anything. My bucket list goes on for days. I love to travel and eventually I want to go everywhere and see everything. I have a huge imagination and I?m a major bookworm. It can be a very good combination, especially when you wanna get lost in the pages. It's not very good though when it comes to horror movies, the aftermath is brutal. If you're a guy that can be honest and understanding, that's awesome. It?s very hard to come by so when you do it?s amazing. If you can make me smile and laugh, even better. If you're man enough to be respectful but bluntly honest, not play games, isn't scared to let a girl down or doesn't get super defensive if a girl does it to you. I give you major kudos. That is difficult to find. And as a tip, I am a complete sucker for a guy that can dress well :)

ECUMENICAL-MORMONS Apr-19-2008 (710 words) xxxn
Ecumenical meeting marks first time Mormons join in papal gathering
By Beth Griffin
Catholic News Service
NEW YORK (CNS) -- For the first time, representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in a papal prayer service -- and it all started over coffee.
In an interview with Catholic News Service and other reporters before the start of the ecumenical prayer service at St. Joseph's Church in New York April 18, Father James Massa, executive director of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat of Ecumenical and Interrreligious Affairs, said that during a coffee break at a recent meeting a representative of the Latter-day Saints asked him if there was any possibility of their participation in the papal visit.
"My reaction was, 'Why not?' We have shared values and there is a possibility of collaboration on a number of social issues while respecting our theological differences," he said.
Father Massa said, "We're not making any theological statements today," adding, "This is a very big statement they (the Latter-day Saints) are making."
He said the Latter-day Saints are "a bit bruised" by reaction to the presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney, a Mormon. National polls found that many Americans were uncomfortable with the idea of a Mormon president.
Representing the Latter-day Saints at the April 18 meeting in New York were two members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elders M. Russell Ballard and Quentin L. Cook.
Father Massa described the request as coming out of a growing respect between Catholics and Mormons, which began under the leadership of the late Gordon B. Hinckley, longtime president of the Latter-day Saints.
During Hinckley's 13-year tenure as president, he met with the current and former bishops of Salt Lake City. And Chicago Cardinal Francis E. George, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, sent condolences when Hinckley died in January.
"I think these developments have prepared us to begin a new phase in our relationship," Father Massa said.
Although media representatives of the Latter-day Saints did not respond to a request for comment on the papal prayer service April 18, a statement on "respect for diversity of faiths" was posted on the church's Web site the same day as the New York meeting.
"Members of the (Latter-day Saints) church do not view fellow believers around the world as adversaries or competitors, but as partners in the many causes for good in the world," the statement said, noting the church's cooperation with Catholic Relief Services in efforts to assist victims of famine and natural disasters.
CRS is the U.S. bishops' overseas relief and development agency.
"It is important to note that interfaith cooperation does not require doctrinal compromise," the statement added. "It is necessary to maintain a separation between charitable efforts and doctrinal tenets, while at the same time sharing a mutual concern for those in need.
"People of good faith do not need to have the exact same beliefs in order to accomplish great things in the service of their fellow human beings." it said.
In recent years the Mormon church sometimes has joined Catholic officials in initiatives both churches supported, such as opposition to same-sex marriage.
However, a Vatican ruling in 2001 that required Mormons who became Catholics to receive a full baptism rather than a conditional one was seen by some as questioning whether members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were Christians.
But then-Bishop George H. Neiderauer, who headed the Salt Lake City Diocese at that time, said the Vatican decision "should not be understood as either judging or measuring a spiritual relationship between Jesus Christ and the LDS church."
"As we know, the LDS church baptizes all its new members who were previously baptized in any other church," said Bishop Neiderauer, who is now archbishop of San Francisco. "That practice indicated that the LDS church regards its own baptism as accomplishing something which is substantially different from that of all other baptismal rites."
The Vatican ruling, he said, "indicates that the Catholic Church also recognizes that LDS baptism is substantially different from Roman Catholic baptism."
The Vatican commentary on the ruling called for continued Catholic-Mormon cooperation, dialogue and growth in understanding.

That is a great piece of news. Good to see people emphasising what we have in common rather than dwelling on differences which divide us.

I don't see a problem when in the end we are all brothers and sisters in the same cause.

Class Response Systems, or clickers as they are commonly called, are an interactive technology that enables instructors to pose questions to students then immediately collect and view the responses of the entire class. Students send-in their answers using remote transmitters (clickers), available at the UNO bookstore. Laptops, smart phones, and tablets with clicker apps installed may be used in lieu of a clicker devise where permitted by the course instructor. Student responses during a clicker session are collected, tabulated, and results are passed to the campus Learning Management System, Blackboard, for viewing and/or grading by the instructor. Clickers are also commonly used for formative assessment to monitor student learning via direct feedback – the clicker responses to the questions posed by the instructor.
- Platform flexibility: Responses can be gathered using hand-held clickers or via a clicker apps installed on laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Clicker software is preinstalled in all Hi-Tech classrooms supported by UNO Information Services.
- Requires license and purchase of a clicker for students that do not own an device capable of using the app or if the mobile device use is not permitted in class.
Best Uses
Pedagogical Goal
Getting Started
Contact Information Services' Academic Partnership for Instruction (API) at email@example.com or 402-554-2024 for information on the use of 'clickers' for Instruction and assistance in getting started.
Training Available
Information Services' Academic Partnership for Instruction (API) offers an Introduction to Turning Technologies Classroom Response Systems training session in both the Fall and Spring Semesters, or one-on-one sessions upon request. Check the API Calendar for upcoming training or contact API at email@example.com or 402-554-2024.
Additional self-help materials or tutorials can be found at:
Local Contact for More Information
For setup, training, and troubleshooting contact Ted Turgeon or email email@example.com or call 402-554-2024.
Delivery Mode for Students
Students participate in clicker sessions as part of in-class, group work. Access to the tabulated data from sessions is available via Blackboard and may include a record of attendance or scores from tests and quizzes that were taken with clickers. The data students can view from sessions is individualized: they will only see their own information.
Individual or Group?
Clickers are a group response technology that is primarily used to monitor student learning via direct feedback. This method helps the instructor recognize where students are struggling so that these problems areas can be addressed more quickly.
Collaborative Functionality
Collaborate efficiently and easily in 'Live Clicker Sessions' that include on-campus classes, large presentations, and departmental meetings. Questions delivered with clicker software can include audio, video, and images. They can be integrated with PowerPoint slides or displayed using the base software – with responses gathered via hand-held clickers or mobile devices using a app. Responses derived during a clicker session are captured into a database and can be viewed as a report or uploaded to Blackboard.
Confidentiality/Security of Data
Data from a clicker session is passed through the Turning Technologies Building Block within Blackboard and is encrypted.
Synchronous or Asynchronous?
Clicker use is synchronous with students or other audience members using hand-held remotes (clickers) or virtual-clickers (apps) on mobile devices to respond to questions posed by a presenter and displayed on a viewing screen. The responses are tabulated as they come-in with the results displayed graphically on screen for further discussion. (See Delivery Mode for Students and Collaborative Functionality for more information.)
Recommend Level of Technical Competency
Faculty or staff that chose to adopt clickers will need to acquire competency in the use of Turning Point or CPS software, as well as, the registration and upload methodology used to pass results to Blackboard.
Learning Curve for Instructors/Creators
As with most instructional technologies the learning curve for clicker use lies somewhere along a continuum between beginner and expert. The basic process of opening the clicker software and running a session can easily be learned in a one-hour training session. More advanced use such as using the software from within PowerPoint, passing the results of each clicker session to Blackboard for grading, allowing access to each session from mobile devices, or creating reports will require a greater investment in time and a higher level of technical aptitude.
Assessment Feature
- Formative Assessment: In-class polling and testing.
- Summative: Aggregating results from clicker assessments allows instructors to assess student progress at the end of a semester or over several.
Assessing Learning
Clicker responses can be used to assess students understanding and synthesis of core concepts within a discipline.
Technical Specifications
In general, both the Turning Technologies and CPS clicker systems supported by Information Services can be installed for use on any modern computing system—and is preinstalled in the IS High Tech Classrooms. However, if you wish to install the software on your machine and wish to determine if it will run effectively please consult the Technical Requirements details here:
- Details for Turning Technologies.
- Details for CPS (eInstruction clickers): MAC and PC
Common FAQs, Tutorials, and Troubleshooting
For more FAQs, tutorials, or information on troubleshooting issues please search the Information Services Knowledge Base in Request Center.
- Costs for physical clickers are determined by the type of clicker selected by the instructor—each vendor offers a range of clickers with different capabilities.
- An Instructor Kit with a physical clicker is provided to adopting faculty free of charge.
- First year usage license for the purchase of a physical clicker by students may be free: check with instructor.
- Students using a clicker app on a computer or mobile device must purchase a usage license.
- Current student costs at the UNO Bookstore: Clicker // ResponseWare License: mobile device use.

To all my wonderful, amazing readers and reviewers and favorite-ers and alert-ers: Thank you for being so patient and for your constant feedback. It lights up my day whenever I see any of the aforementioned actions. I must beg you to be still more patient, however. The life of a college student is not easy, and not conducive to extensive extra-curricular writing. If you bear with me, I thank you and assure you I will see this through to the finish.
And yes, I just deliberately wrote like Jesse, or at a stretch, Dumbledore :P. Love you all, hope you're all doing great in whatever you're doing!
UPDATE: I AM still working on Jesse's story, I haven't stopped. However, I am a college student who needs to put other things first. :S I wish that wasn't the way the world is set up, but it is. I am slowly and steadily working on more though. Let's just hope that I get a holiday where I have no other commitments so I can just work on this endlessly.

How do I know Obama is winning? Republicans are exhibiting all the symptoms of partisans trying to convince themselves that they've still got a shot when the election is all over but the voting. If you read between the lies, Republicans are acting like people about to lose.
Believe it or not, I sympathize. As a Democrat deep in the enlarged, sclerotic heart of Texas, I can diagnose the telltale signs of a losing campaign. It's happened to me. A lot. I've slogged through many fall campaigns with no chance of winning, and while I've raged against the dying of the night, the night always came. Any clear-eyed observer could tell that my guy was losing by the fact that I was refusing to go gently.
As a public service, here are the seven things you say that indicate your campaign is losing:
1. You say the polls are wrong. Pity the Republicans on this one. They have to both deny that Obama got a convention bounce in the polls and point out that the bounce is receding at the same time. There is no worse position to be in to have to resort to the canard that the "only poll that matters is on Election Day." No one has ever truly believed it, even those who've said it.
2. You blame the media. Of course, Republicans do this even when they are winning, but, to paraphrase Bill Clinton, it takes some brass to blame the "liberal media" when they write down what your guy said and put it in the newspaper. (Democrats do this, too, but we attack the media for propagating a conventional wisdom that is neither conventional nor wise.)
3. You claim you'll change turnout. Want to make a campaign operative laugh? Tell them your win scenario depends upon getting infrequent voters to vote. That's like wearing an "I'm with stupid" hat with the arrow pointing down. I was on a radio show this week with a Republican who insisted that if you reduce the number of Democrats saying they are likely to vote, then Romney would be way ahead. And if I had athletic talent, I'd play third base for the Baltimore Orioles, but here we are.
4. You change your message after Labor Day. Sometimes you have to respond to changing events, but if you've got an unnamed "top aide" anonymously leaking, "No one in Boston thinks this can only be about the economy anymore," then you've got a problem, and it's not just that you need to fire a "top aide." Only campaigns in panic mode change their message this close to Election Day.
5. You need to campaign at your base. James Carville said he knew Bill Clinton would win in 1992 when he saw George H.W. Bush pander to his base after Labor Day. If you leave your convention without closing that sale, then you have to stand on stage with Pat Robertson to oppose taking "In God We Trust" off our money in an attempt to turn this election into a culture war.
6. Your running mate wants to be "unleashed." Paul Ryan, say anonymous Romney campaign sources, wants to be "unleashed" to make a stronger case for his Ayn Rand fantasy of turning Medicare into Groupon for Grandmas. This is what's known as the "yell louder" tactic. Ryan's insubordination makes me feel sorry for Romney, who infamously said, "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." Now he's stuck with a pushy understudy who wants to turn up the volume on his party's most-unpopular idea this side of privatizing Social Security.
7. You say you're not firing your advisers. On Monday, the Romney campaign said that it was not replacing its top consultants—something only losing teams say about their coaches. Second-guessing is a partisan's first instinct, but the infighting only comes out into the open when your side thinks you've already lost.
No one's predicting a blowout, and voting hasn't even started yet. But take it from a guy who's been there all too often—Mitt Romney's acting like a guy who's about to lose.

In any sport, it's seldom to encounter a young athlete who's professional and classy on and off-the-field, as they let the stardom get to their heads.
However, in the case of stock car talent Pete Shepherd, this 24-year-old Brampton, Ontario, Canada native is the epitome of a cool customer who carries himself well.
He's had his struggles and successes in his rising career, learning from those races where the struggle seems insurmountable and when victory's as sweet as the accolades that come after a hard day's work.
For those who may not be familiar with the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series racer, get to know him before he makes himself quite the force in the top three national divisions in the coming years.
Shepherd's worked hard to get the opportunities he's had, often succeeding in about every level of racing he's been competed in since age 10.
His racing accomplishments speak volumes, including the Canadian National Karting championship and amassing over 75 career victories in the many racing divisions he's competed in as a young superstar in the making.
Additionally, he's versatile behind the wheel, having gotten to wheel USAC Silver Crown vehicles, late models, and trucks before finding himself behind the MOPAR power of a stock car.
This humble driver has this quiet confidence to him, almost as if he lets his racing do the talking. You get the sense that he'll give it all he's got on race day, going out there to get maximum results, even when adversities strike along the way.
Earlier this week, I interviewed Shepherd and not only did I learn about the Canadian Tires Series, but about this fantastic driver who'll be a force to be reckoned with real soon in the States. Having dabbled at various tracks with some of the most premier names in racing like Jack Roush, Carl Edwards, and Billy Venturini, that gives you the idea of the talent that States fans ought to know about immediately.
So sit back, strap those belts up one more time...we're going "In the Driver's Seat with Pete Shepherd, NASCAR Canadian Tires Series Racer!"
Rob Tiongson : For some of the racing fans here on The Podium Finish, tell us a little bit about yourself, like what series you're competing in this year and when you first cut your teeth in racing.
Pete Shepherd : This year I am competing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, in the No. 7 National Exhaust/Hy-Tech Drilling Dodge Challenger. I started my stock car career at the age of 13; I originally competed in Go-Karts at the age of 10, so I have been racing almost my entire life.
RT : There are some NASCAR folks who may not be familiar with the great racing that goes on in the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series. Describe the division you compete in – is it similar to the rules and format of the top three national series or is it somewhat different from that or a Saturday night late model series?
PS : I would say it is similar to perhaps the NASCAR K&N East Series as far as format goes. Our cars are a little different in some ways, but the competition level and the way that the series operates is somewhat the same.
RT : Growing up in the Ontario province of Canada, was it always your dream to compete in stock car racing or did you have other ambitions in motorsports?
PS : It has always been my goal to make my way through the stock car ranks just because my family history is so rich in stock cars.
My grandfather started in 1961, at local short tracks, and both sides of the family are heavily involved in stock car racing.
There was a time in my young life, where I dreamed in making the NHL, but once I took a seat in a Go-Kart, my career path changed in an instant.
RT : Who were some of your personal inspirations on and off the track? Would you say you have some mentors or friends on the track in the Canadian Tires Series?
PS : My dad is my all-time favourite race car driver, and I really believe he could have competed at the highest level of NASCAR. I look up to him as far as racing goes.
In the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, Dave Whitlock gave me my first start in the series; he was always a great race car driver (he even won the Oxford 250).
RT : I have to ask you, even though hockey may be the sports that reigns supreme in Canada, how enthusiastic are the racing fans up there? Are they just as rowdy and excitable as the fans in the States?
PS : In all honesty, I would like to see the level of fan support increase, but the fans that make it out to the track are very supportive.
Provinces such as Quebec and other places that aren't quite as busy as Ontario, have very passionate fans.
It would be great to see that in Ontario, where I have raced almost my whole life.
RT : You've raced various circuits now in your young racing career – what's a real racer's track in your opinion? Do you like the short tracks, speedways, or road courses?
In my opinion, all of the tracks require a lot of talent. I grew up on short tracks and I believe that is where dreams are made and broken, as this is where everyone has to start in stock cars.
I really appreciate the grind in racing on short tracks, but I would love to race more on speedways and road courses, as I want to get better in all aspects of racing.
RT : Last year, you entered five Canadian Tires Series events, winning at Kawartha Speedway and you also collected three additional top-fives and respectable 11th place finish. Now I understand your season just started this past weekend – is it your goal to win the championship this season?
PS : This would be a goal of mine, if we had the sponsorship to run all of the races, because it is not possible for us to run the entire schedule, I just want to be able to compete for the win week in and week out.
RT : I've asked various racers this question and I'm just curious – say I'm your team owner and I've hired you to race my car at a winding short track. We've got a limited budget but we're able to hold our own for the most part….tell me how you'd race in this event and are you going to settle for a respectable finish or go for the win?
PS : I would do everything in my power to put myself in a position to win. If I am sitting in 11th for example, then barring a miracle, it would be pretty hard to win the race, but I would race hard every lap to put myself in position to win, and hopefully the cards would fall in my favour.
RT : We saw during this year's Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 that about anything can happen on the last lap. How heartbreaking do you think it was for J.R. Hildebrand and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to be so close and yet not be able to win their respective races and have you been in a situation similar to theirs before?
PS : I am thinking it would be more heart breaking for J.R. Hildebrand, because he earned the lead and was a dominant car on the race track. It was an accident that happens to everybody who has been competitive before. I really felt for him during the incident because it is arguably the biggest race on the planet and it would be hard to deal with.
With Dale Jr., it is different, because he took a chance that could have given him the victory, but if he didn't take that chance, then he probably wouldn't have been in the same position to win.
RT : Alright bud, it's time for some Free Association! You best be ready for this. I'll ask you the first thing that comes to your mind with the following, alright? Here we go:
PS : Dale Earnhardt Sr.
RT : Pit stops.
PS : Good crew.
RT : Handling.
PS : Most important thing.
RT : Rivalries.
PS : Everyone who is on the track with me!
RT : Pet peeve during a race.
PS : When lap cars get in the way!
RT : Victory.
PS : Okay, maybe the most important thing.
RT : Stanley Cup champion this year is…
PS : Unfortunately the Vancouver Canucks in a four game sweep. (Editor's Note: Let's hope not!)
RT : My future in racing looks…
PS : Brighter than it did 2 years ago.
RT : Some folks believe that racing isn't a sport but merely a game, yet they don't quite grasp just how physical it can get sometimes. What are some of the ways that you keep in shape for a grueling racing season?
PS : Eating properly such as taking my BioX Nutrition Supplements, a little bit of body building, but I really enjoy participating in MMA and hockey.
RT : I'm sure you've gained some new fans that've just finished this interview. Anything you'd like to say the fine fans of the site and how they can learn more about you?
PS : Thanks for supporting myself and racing in general, if you want to follow my racing season my website is www.peteshepherd.ca where you will find links to my Twitter and Facebook fan pages!
Author's Notes : Special thanks go out to Pete Shepherd for letting me interview him just following his first race of the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series. Also, I want to thank Brittany for giving me the heads' up on him and for supporting this website!
If you'd like to learn more about Pete Shepherd, follow him on Twitter (@Petey_3) as well as searching up his Facebook fan page by looking up "Pete Shepherd (athlete)." Additionally, you can catch him racing the full NASCAR Canadian Tires Series schedule all year long at a track near you for our neighbours to the North!

Saw in the ORG comparing Larkin and Trammell when it came to the hall of fame as similair players, and I didn't think I'd have to come to Larkin's defense on a Red's board, but it's not even the same ballpark as far as I'm concerned.
Career OPS: Larkin 815, Trammell 767
Stolen Bases: Larkin stole 143 more bases while being caught 32 less times.
Defensively: While Trammell leads Larkin 4 to 3, Larkin did have to take the NL GG title from Ozzie Smith and his 13 consecutive GGs.
OPS Frequency Distribution:
Attachment 5997
sorry not sure how to make the distribution bigger without clicking on it.
As you can see Trammell's OPS midpoint hovers around the 700 mark, while Larkin's around the 800 mark
