Thousands for "Green Jobs"
The largest trade union in Pittsburgh called – and many hundreds of people came on Wednesday night to the manifestation in the State Point Park.
Here the pictures can tell more than words.
The organisers expect 3,000 people. Before it darkens there are already several hundred. There is live-music on a large stage, food stalls and creative action-groups at the fringes. And over and over again the message for all: with "green jobs" people will be made happy and the climate could be saved.
"Please, take plenty of green money into your hand!" – is the message of these banner-bearers. One stall further one of the co-organisers tells me that he believes in a more ecological capitalism. He informs all passersby about ways towards an own solar plant and distributes car stickers which are in high demand.
Stiglitz supports the protesters
Mittwoch nachmittag:
Although life in a tent city is usually quite easy going, with the rain showers driving people to seek the shelter of the pavilions, the long shadow of the afternoon event looms: Joseph Stiglitz is expected, at the big discussion in the Monumental Baptist Church next to the tent city (yes, I know, actually it is the other way around). Before that is the press conference. The density of journalist starts increasing. I have a meeting with the ARD television team and a radio journalist.
The large congregation hall which in the last few days we had used as our general abode, was particularly tidy, and a podium for the prominent guest and his fellow podium-people was ready.
In Pittsburgh saving banks is called Mellon-Bail-Out
On Tuesday a small demonstration for the right of affordable accommodation went from the Hill District downwards. My feet are touching here more tarmac than during the past months. Again down to "Downtown"!
Target of the protest: the immense banking-tower of the Mellon Bank. In 1813 already Thomas Mellon founded this bank, the family earned millions with coal and steel and today you encounter their name anywhere: ice-hockey in the Mellon Arena, study in the Carnegie Mellon University. Within the framework of the finance crisis the bank was bailed-out with 3 billion US-dollars.
The list of accusations against the bank is long. As coal-baron already the Mellons showed hardly any consideration for the rights of their employees. As the Mellon Tower rises above most of the other buildings in the city the march to it is an obvious contribution to the G20-protests.
The Obama - factor
Neither on Thursday nor on Friday will Pittsburgh produce pictures like the vast immense protests in Seattle on the occasion of the 1999 WTO-ministerial conference. Then more than 50,000 blocked the inaugural event of the world trade conference.
Protest Nisches
I walked through Pittsburgh, starting from my base camp, the small town of tents "on the hill". Sniffed a lot of exhaust fumes, found broken houses and large bill boards. And finally some other places where already today protest preparations can be seen.
Curious people have to search long to find out about events ahead of the main action. The daily "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" comments about the situation: "It is very hard to keep track of all of the protests planned around the G20. It would help if the anarchists were much better organized, and with a bigger marketing budget." So – maybe it will turn out to be a strong point of the protest that everything here is a bit confussed.
The police has some trouble coping with all. Yesterday the officers had to admit that they have not read the conditions for the two larger demonstrations (the "March for Jobs" and a demonstration with the motto "G 6 Billion Journey & Witness") and were blocking the demonstrations longer than they were allowed.
First pictures – Camp city and protest are coming to live
Already at 7am the sun is shining. The city of tents has grown. Not the area, that remained quite small, but colourful tents are standing now where yesterday still was open space. There was short-lived excitement because of a "break-down" of the bus from Rhode Island. Then came the "all clear". The group could continue their travel, in front of tent city the first bus from New York stops.
… slowly the camping ground is filling up.
There are workshops ahead of the "March for Jobs"
There intense discussions about "health insurance", "workers' rights" and "right of housing"
Security-Freak-Show and warm welcome
I arrived twice in the USA.
In Philadelphia I had to enter officially. From the plane it went directly into a dark-grey hall with many counters with generally gloomy looking officers. Information signs everywhere: No picture taking! Cell-phones prohibited! Forbidden by sign board too: to treat the men at the counters in an unfriendly manner. No clock in the whole room. I got 1.5 hours for the connecting flight and queuing for ages. Fingerprints, picture, interrogation. "My security officer" was drilling me why I intended to travel to Pittsburgh at this time. Now I would like to know my rights in the same way as I know them when dealing with German police man. The man in front of me wrinkles his face and finally slams an immigration stamp into my passport. Rushing to the next queue. Kept in line by separating tapes hundreds of people are standing in long queues, to get again through the security checks.

"A Current event club has been organized by Jessie H. Millard, of the children's department of the Public Library, Portland, Ore. A recent exhibition of wireless telegraphy held by this club aroused so much interest that a scientific club was organized." ( Public Libraries, February 1908, p 72)
"The woman who takes out of the public or subscription library a novel a day is only suffering from the perversion of an appetite which in its normal state is beneficial. It is possible that her husband does not read enough for amusement, that his horizon is narrowed, his sympathies stunted by the lack of that very influence which, in excess, unfits his wife for the realities an duties of everyday existence. It came as a surprise to many to learn from Tennyson's Life that the author of In Memoriam was a great novel reader. But certainly in his case the novel produced no weakening of the mental fiber."
("Lest we Forget: In the multitude of books, the few great books."

A street directory has been completed for the Public library of District of Columbia. This is a locality index of registered borrowers. By it the names of all persons residing oat the same street number are brought together on one card, whether or not they have the same surname. By means of this index, on receipt of the daily notices from the district health officer of new cases of contagious diseases it is possible to know all registered borrowers who have been exposed to infection and temporarily to withdraw privileges and enforce either disinfection or destruction of books in their hands."

Taken from "Public Libraries", Volume 11, 1906.
Susan B. Anthony has offered copies of all her books on the suffrage question to the Oregon library commission for the traveling libraries of the state. (p40)
Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the Oregon commission library, has sent out a list of wholesome juvenile books, with prices, for holiday trade and for home libraries, together with some excellent facts about libraries. (p40)
The forty-second annual report of the Library association of Portland, Ore. gives an increase in the circulation in the library, notwithstanding the distraction of the Fair. The quality of books read has improved, the fiction per cent being on the decline; it is now less than 62 per cent. The circulation in the children's department was 40,650V and through the schools, 9441V. The story telling is given as the chief cause of the decrease in fiction reading in this department, having dropped from 59 to 52 per cent. 10,914V. were prepared for the shelves and 7629 were cataloged. The work of the branches continues to grow. Thirteen distributing stations are in active work. (p475)
From "Public Libraries" Vol 13, (1908)
Courtesy of the University of Oregon's willingness to lend bound periodicals via SUMMIT.
"We should look closely after the books we put into the hands of our children. The characteristics of eighteenth century fiction are summed up in the following:
Maria so attentive grew,
So Thoughtful and Polite;
Her friends admired and loved her too,
For all she did was right.
Perhaps the pendulum has swung a little too far the other way when we think of the numerous calls for "Peck's Bad Boy," of the deep interest in Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer and other realistic tales. Somewhere between these two extremes, we must find the books that are suitable for our boys and girls and will hold their interest."
"In regards to book agents, there is only one rule, never to be violated, and that is, buy nothing whatever from an agent."

Kansas City Kansas Public Library. (January, 1908 p 25.)

Central Michigan University is proud to sponsor the Thirteenth Off-Campus Library Services Conference April 23-25, 2008 at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center. The most recent conferences of this biennial conference have been held in Savannah, GA, Carefree, AZ, and Cincinnati, OH. Since Salt Lake City is in your region of the country we want to make sure that you are aware of the Conference.
Currently most universities have special online courses and programs for non-traditional students. This conference brings together librarians, library administrators, educators and staff who have a common interest in finding the best way to provide library services for students pursuing their education off- campus. The conference subject tracks focus on various aspects of library service to these students: teaching and learning, electronic information and delivery, collaboration, and administration/support services and research across all of these topics.
The conference opens on Wednesday afternoon, April 23, with discussion groups and registration followed by a more formal opening reception with Lynn Copeland from Simon Fraser University as the featured speaker. The next day and a half is filled with presentations from librarians and administrators/staff who are engaged on a day to day basis with off-campus students. Because it is a smaller conference presenters are happy to answer questions and discuss their ideas with attendees. A special feature is the dine-outs at local restaurants on Thursday evening to meet with friends and to create networking opportunities.
Go to the conference web site at http://ocls.cmich.edu/conference to register and to find more information about the program. Early registration ends on March 7, 2008!

Description: This workshop consists of three modules. Each module is a 1.5 hour to 2 hour live Internet presentation. Practice and readings will be provided for participants to complete on their own.
Module I: Searching OCLC WorldCat in FirstSearch
Increase your comfort level and optimize the powerful tools available in the FirstSearch reference and Resource Sharing interface. This workshop will address how to access FirstSearch, search WorldCat, navigate and manipulate lists of records, developing search proficiency. This workshop is appropriate for those working with WorldCat Resource Sharing and those using FirstSearch for reference activities.
Module II: Borrowing and Lending Activities
Borrowing – Learn to create borrowing requests for returnable items such as books and DVDs and for non-returnable items (i.e. copies). This part of the session will demonstrate the use of custom holdings and local data records to create efficiencies in the interlibrary loan workflow. We will also complete all actions required to bring a request through the entire interlibrary loan cycle.
Lending – Manage incoming requests and gain familiarity with the Request Manager categories. In this half of the workshop, you will learn to use batch processing in order to update and print requests in your lending cycle and administer your work more effectively.
Module III: Administrative Functions
Access the FirstSearch administrative module to create data records that eliminate repetitive data entry. Participants will devise constant data and saved notes, review the use and implementation of IFM (ILL Fee Management) as well as create custom holdings groups, custom holdings paths and direct request profile to improve service in all aspects of resource sharing. Time will also be spent updating and maintaining records in the ILL Policies Directory. Customization of the patron interface and the creation of links between authorizations, local catalogs and Open URL services will also be covered.
This workshop is appropriate for those who administer WorldCat Resource Sharing activities or FirstSearch reference activities.
Who Should Attend: Library staff who want to acquire the basic skills needed to do OCLC ILL using WorldCat Resource Sharing.

At the northern end of the Willamette Valley, spring has pretty convincingly sprung. Plum trees are pinking up, roses are being pruned and kids are skateboarding in shirt sleeves (including the one I saw yesterday doing so in a 2007 summer reading tee shirt). With spring here that can mean only one thing for OLA members: ANNUAL CONFERENCE. It has been exciting to see the work of the joint conference committees evolve over the last two years. Yes, you read that correctly, years; since the summer of 2006 librarians from Oregon and Washington have been observing themes, identifying speakers, inviting programming, nailing down countless details and in general getting ready for our once-every-five-years OLA/WLA joint conference.
And now it's upon us. I look forward to seeing you April 16-18 in Vancouver. As well as a great slate of preconferences and two days of terrific programs, it's going to be a great privilege during the year of a presidential campaign to hear Thomas Frank's analysis of American politics. In this vein, I can't help but wonder if the conference planners were on to something in selecting the other keynote, Stu Robertshaw, aka Dr. Humor, as the banquet speaker. Dr. Robertshaw is the President and CEO of the National Association for the Humor Impaired, an organization which has as its mission "to provide information . . . about the value and benefits of humor in order to improve the quality of life for all of us," and to "help the world to learn to lighten up." Now, really. Can you imagine a better conference? See you all next month.

Oregon Library Association, President
The Children's Services Division 2008 Spring Workshop will be held on Friday, March 14 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm at Salem Public Library. This is your chance to share your brilliant ideas for programs, activities, crafts and more, inspired by this year's "Catch the Reading Bug" and "Metamorphosis" summer reading themes. In addition, the morning session will be "Building Early Literacy Skills Through Music," presented by Rosalie Karalekas, Music Specialist in Salem-Keizer School District and professor at Western Oregon University. She will present an energetic, entertaining and informative workshop that will enhance our ability to incorporate more music into storytime presentations. Rosalie has spent much of her career developing interactive musical activities based on wonderful children's books. You'll be ready to use these great ideas in your very next storytime!
Registration is FREE, with a brown bag lunch on your own planned. The registration deadline is March 5 and the form is available on the OLA CSD website at http://www.olaweb.org/csd/. If you have questions about this workshop, please contact BJ Quinlan, CSD Summer Reading Chair, at email@example.com or 503.588.6039.
The coming of Spring isn't the only thing you have to look forward to…the annual OYAN Raffle at the Joint OLA/WLA Conference is just a little over a month away! This much anticipated event offers a chance to win fabulous prizes while supporting the Oregon Young Adult Network. The raffle is the primary fundraiser for OYAN, and provides invaluable financial support for scholarships, continuing education and OYAN initiatives. Show your support for library services to teens in Oregon by entering the raffle at the upcoming Joint Conference in Vancouver, WA!
Tickets will be sold for $5.00 each or in packages of 5 for $20.00. Sales will take place at the CSD/ OYAN booth during the Joint OLA/WLA Conference at the Hilton Vancouver Hotel. Roaming members of OYAN will also be selling tickets. If you are unable to attend this year's conference, you can still participate in the annual raffle. For the option to pre-purchase raffle tickets, contact your library's OYAN representative or contact Kristin Starnes, OYAN Vice-Chair (email@example.com).
See you in Vancouver!

Managers and frontline staff learn new service techniques to transform the library into a more vibrant – and sustainable – destination. Library futurist Joan Frye Williams demonstrates that we can't rely on "business as usual" when our customers are presented with increasingly attractive alternatives to meet their informational and recreational needs: up-to-the minute information on the internet; bookstores with plenty of parking, lattes, shiny books, movies on demand and more. Progressive libraries have shown that top quality service has as much to do with hospitality, merchandising, and point-of-need transactions as with offering the right content. And frontline staff are the key to our customers' service experience. So while we shouldn't sell out, we might want to "sell up." Come find out how.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 26, 2007 Recognizing that their missions are global in scope and often have strategic implications, about 140 reservists and National Guardsmen from every service are wrapping up a course here that's widening their operational apertures.
The National Defense University here presents the Reserve Components National Security Course twice each year for senior reserve-component members moving on to joint command management and staff jobs in multinational, intergovernmental or joint national security settings, explained Army Col. Kashi Yatto, course director.
The current two-week class concludes tomorrow, with its graduates representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard reserves and the Army and Air National Guard. A small percentage of the group hails from other U.S. government agencies, as well as from Peru, Malta and Korea.
All have broad experience in the tactical and operational aspects of their missions. The vast majority have combat deployments under their belts.
Here, through a schedule chock-full of seminars, workshops and notional exercises, they're expanding their horizons to think strategically, said Col. Danny Bubp, a Marine Corps reservist who's serving as senior seminar leader.
"We're exposing the students to that next level" and preparing them to take on increasingly responsible positions within their organizations, he said.
Like Bubp, an Ohio state legislator, the students all bring civilian skills to their military jobs. They're teachers, farmers, doctors, lawyers and firemen, as well as reserve and Guard leaders. "We want to send them back to their communities with a broader perspective so they can take that knowledge with them when they're mobilized to be part of a staff," Bubp said.
Toward that end, the course takes a broad view of world affairs, helping students see the big picture and implications of military operations. "We're trying to produce more strategic leaders with a better grounding in what's going on in the world," Bubp said. "The smarter your people are, the better they are going to function, especially in a stressful environment."
Much of the course focuses on the importance of incorporating all aspects of national power, not just military power, into U.S. national strategy, Yatto said. Instructors here refer to it as the "DIME" principle -- diplomatic, informational, military and economic -- and say all play important and complementary roles.
"We're military, so the first option we think of is military," Yatto said. "But this course helps the students better appreciate the other entities, too."
Students at the course call it an eye-opening experience. "It gives you a whole different way of thinking about things," said Air Force Col. Chip Mattingly, a maintenance group commander for the Kansas Air National Guard. "I feel like a sponge here, and it's really giving me an appreciation of the bigger picture."
Mattingly said his military career, which hasn't yet exposed him to joint staff operations, has focused heavily on the "M" or "military" aspects of the DIME principle. "This course is great because it gives you an understanding that there are other ways to shape the world than boots on the ground -- and possibly more effectively," he said.
Navy Cmdr. Angela Brady, administrative officer for Florida's Volunteer Training Unit, said she sees great value in providing reservists and Guardsmen a strategic view of operations they could be called on to help lead.
"You definitely have to have a grasp of the big picture, and you don't always get that on the operational side," she said. "If everybody understands the overall objective, where you're headed and how they fit into it, you can get there a lot more effectively."

The Nature of Childhood
Dave Becker is being honored as a White House Champion of Change for his leadership and commitment to libraries and museums around the United States.
Like many people of my generation, a good part of my childhood was spent exploring, playing, and learning outside. Growing up in a midsize farming community in Michigan, I spent hours in the woods, climbing trees, building forts, catching frogs, and getting as dirty as possible. I didn't know how valuable these experiences were until I became a parent. For my own children to have any of these experiences, I had to help make them happen. My children needed me and other adults to provide the spaces and opportunities, which are rapidly disappearing as access to nature becomes more and more removed from the human experience. This has become a central commitment of my work with children and families.
For the past 12 years, I have had the good fortune to work for an organization that shares my commitment to connecting children with nature: the Chicago Zoological Society (CZS). The CZS Early Childhood Initiative, known as NatureStart, is connecting children with nature with the help of an incredibly talented team of people. It is my honor to represent them and accept the Champaign of Change award on behalf of them and CZS.
A major breakthrough in our NatureStart Early Childhood Initiative occurred in 2001 when we opened Hamill Family Play Zoo. This groundbreaking exhibit is firmly rooted in an understanding of child development, play, and learning, and it applies new understandings from the field of conservation psychology—the study of the relationships between people and nature—about how children develop positive relationships with the natural world. The exhibit includes a variety of indoor and outdoor settings in which young children can garden, play in the woods, build forts, make mud pies, look for bugs, meet animals up-close, pretend to be animal, and help care for animals in ways that are meaningful and relevant for them.
We have assembled a dedicated, talented, and multidisciplinary team of educators with backgrounds in the arts, sciences, early childhood education, and informal learning. Our team is known as Play Partners by the children who visit us, and that nickname effectively describes our approach: we treat children as our partners in learning, and we learn through play. Our Play Partners and children work together to take care of the world around them in meaningful ways through daily walk-in programs offered from the time the zoo opens in the morning until the zoo closes at night.
As our NatureStart Early Childhood Initiative has grown in scope over the past 12 years, we have partnered with universities and community-based organizations to provide nature play events in underserved communities. We also mentor youth, provide college internship opportunities, and make our play gardens available to an early intervention program for children with disabilities as a therapy site. This is in addition to the 300,000-plus families we serve each year through daily Play Partner-facilitated programming at Hamill Family Play Zoo.
Through the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, our NatureStart initiative now has a professional development component in which we provide training to zoos, aquariums, nature centers, and other conservation organizations. We teach them how to provide effective programs and environments that increase young children's opportunities for play, exploration, and discovery in nature. We have seen informal educators who have taken part in our trainings transform their approach, and the network of early childhood environmental educators in zoos and aquariums in the United States and in Latin America is rapidly growing.
As much as we have achieved together in the past 12 years, we feel as though we are just getting started. We are continuing to expand our NatureStart Early Childhood Initiative with programs and partnerships. I look forward to seeing what we accomplish in our next 12 years!
Dave Becker is an educator and museum professional who serves as a leader for NatureStart.

Ascot: Sea Siren, Society Rock among multiple contenders in 18-horse Diamond Jubilee
The closing card of the 2012 Royal Ascot meet featured the first appearance outside Australia of superstar sprinter Black Caviar, but no such electricity surrounds this year's final day. The Saturday card is headed as usual by the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, a six-furlong dash that drew no horse remotely as interesting as the hulking, undefeated Australian mare, though another Australian, Sea Siren, is part of the 18-horse field.
The 6-year-old Society Rock is back for another try. He won the Group 1 Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot in 2011, but could only finish fifth of 14 in Black Caviar's desperate victory last year in the Diamond Jubilee. Society Rock is in good form again now, though, winning a Group 2 sprint at York on May 15 to start his 2013 campaign.
Gordon Lord Byron, who made a fruitless trip to Dubai this past winter, finished third behind Society Rock in the York race and has a right to improve, but the fast ground found Thursday at Ascot might not suit a horse whose best win came in heavy French going last fall.
Sea Siren, the Australian, has lost six straight since winning a Group 1 last October, but might enjoy fast going more than some of the locals. Also in the race is an American shipper, Havelock, who would need a career-best performance to contend.

Staff report
COLUMBIA -- No. 17 Arkansas sent 12 batters to the plate in the top of the fourth and scored nine runs on the way to a 15-3 victory over fifth ranked South Carolina on Friday evening at Carolina Stadium. Arkansas is now 15-7 and 2-2 in the SEC with South Carolina now 18-4, 2-2 in the league.
Arkansas starting pitcher Barrett Astin allowed three runs and six hits on 5.1 innings to earn the win. He is now 2-1 on the year. South Carolina starting pitcher Evan Beal suffered the loss and is now 2-1 for the season. He went 3.2 innings, allowed eight runs and six hits with four walks and six strikeouts.
The Razorbacks took a 9-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Tyler Spoon opened the inning with a single to right center followed by a single up the middle by Brain Anderson just out of the reach of a diving Joey Pankake at shortstop. Matt Vinson then loaded the bases as he reached base on a bunt for a base hit. Dominic Ficociello's strikeout briefly curbed the Razorbacks' momentum before walks by Willie Schwanke and Jake Wise gave Arkansas a 2-0 lead. Jacob Morris then extended the Razorback surge with a two-run double to left center. Jake Wise scored on a wild pitch by Beal then Spoon connected with a 2-2 pitch for a two-run single.
Forrest Koumas entered to pitch for the Gamecocks, but Anderson turned on the first pitch sending it over the left field wall for a two-run home run, his first home run of the season, giving the Razorbacks a 9-0 advantage.
The Gamecocks answered in the bottom of the sixth with three runs, cutting the deficit to six. Pankake started things off with a single, his 14th straight game to reach base safely. LB Dantzler followed with a RBI double to right center. Grayson Greiner re-energized the crowd and continued the hitting streak driving a 1-1 pitch to left center for another RBI double. Connor Bright then punched one through the right side to score Greiner.
Arkansas went through the order in the top of the seventh, sending 10 batters to the plate. Vinson and Schwanke began the frame with walks. Eric Fisher entered to pinch run for Schwanke. The pair then executed a double steal as Wise struck out. A walk by Morris loaded the bases for Jacob Mahan with one out. Mahan drilled a 2-2 pitch back up the middle. The hit caught a piece of Joel Seddon on the mound and sent the ball ricocheting into shallow left field resulting in a two-run single. Spoon continued the inning knocking a single through the middle infield for two more runs. Anderson capped the seventh as he reached base on a fielding error and scored Joe Serrano to extend the Razorbacks' lead to 14-3. Arkansas added one more run in the top of the ninth inning.
Arkansas had 13 hits with South Carolina finishing with six for the evening. Spoon went 3-for-6 with two runs and five RBI. Mahan, Anderson and Serrano had two hits apiece as well. Six different Gamecocks accounted for hits in the game.
The series continues on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. The game will be televised on Fox Sports South.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota Education Secretary Melody Schopp says the state's waiver from key provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind law "marks a new era in accountability for South Dakota schools."
South Dakota is among five additional states being freed from the 2002 law's requirements in exchange for developing their own accountability plans. Schopp says South Dakota's plan "encompasses multiple measures that indicate how well a school is performing."
They include student achievement, academic growth, attendance, teacher and principal effectiveness, school climate, and college and career readiness.
Schopp says components of the plan will be phased in over time, with full implementation during the 2014-15 school year.

Are the Girls, in fact, missable?
HELP! This is a matter of re-playthrough!
Are the Girls in the Girls HQ missable as friends?
I believe I'm missing two, Allie Nelson for sure. (my only remaining)
Perhaps I'm confused with the definition of "missable" - the fact that tophy guide list the collectable that must be picked up in that location, as missable, that any friends that must be made in the same non-revistable location - that they too must be, in fact, missable?
Am I wrong? Where can I find these girls outside the HQ, can I re-visit them?
Thanks for your time. Damn, that was damn near unreadliible...

Damn, someone replied before I could delete my post! Agh!
Yeah, I'm an idiot. Totally forgot that the 'Girls HQ' is the Girls' Bathroom in the Park.

How partition a new Mac Mini (and install Leopard)

Mac Specs: 13" MB 2.4ghz, 2gig ram, OS 10.7.5

You mentioned that you have two computer needs:
1. You need a Macintosh computer that is capable of running ProTools 8.
2. You need a Macintosh computer that is able to run a version of iTunes that is compatible with your iPhone 5.
Here is a solution that meets both of these needs.
- Firstly...you need a Macintosh computer that is capable of running OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)...so that you can run ProTools 8 (ProTools 8 is compatible with Snow Leopard)...and even if it wasn't...you do the optional install of "Rosetta" which allows you to run PPC apps within Snow Leopard.
- Second...your iPhone 5 requires at least iTunes 10.7...which it just so happens is compatible with OS 10.6!
Apple - iPhone 5 - View all the technical specifications.
iTunes 10.7
So the BEST & newest Macintosh computer you want is one that is/was capable of running OS 10.6.8. Which would be:
- Early 2011 MacBook Pro's
- Mid-2011 iMac's
- Mid-2010 Mac-Mini's
Let me repeat...these are the NEWEST model of each of these computer lines that is still capable of running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6).
I just checked the Apple refurb. Store...and currently you can still get a couple MacBook Pro's, and 1 iMac model that meets the requirements I mentioned above (no Mac-Mini's at this time). Of course you can still buy a used computer that meets the above requirements.
Now also consider this. All of the Mac models I mentioned above also can run the most recent Mac OS (10.8.3). If you got one of these computers...you could partition the hard drive into two partitions:
- one partition you could install OS 10.6.8 (for primarily running ProTools 8)...and you could still do things with your iPhone 5 as well.
- the second partition you could install OS 10.8.3...and have all of the latest & greatest Mac OS features & compatibility.
This is what I would do if I was in your shoes...and wanted a newer Macintosh computer...but at the same time didn't want to spend $700 for the latest version of ProTools.

p.s. Sorry for the long post...but I wanted to convey as much detail as possible.

A princess, alcohol, more innuendos than you can shake a stick at and various stars of musical theatre.
No, we're sadly not referring to what we got up to last night.
Speckulation have put together a bloody excellent video to accompany the song Portrait of a Princess by Michael Bruce.
We first saw the lovely Julie Atherton perform this song back in November during Daniel Boys' cabaret and we fell in love with it and her.
We also noted that the video features a selection of gents from our latest Naked issue. Yes, that is Jon Lee jogging through the park in a pair of tiny shiny shorts. And the wee gyrating elf is none other than Steven Webb who stripped off with our cover star Chris Fountain.
Don't worry, guys, we're already trying to sort the rest of the gents for the next issue – hear that Mr Tovey/Mr Parsons/Mr Spicer? Drop us a line, gentlemen.
Right, we're off to re-enact it on the streets of Kentish Town. If you see us come give us a hand, and not in a Disney way.

MMA News
Sonnen Says "The Ultimate Fighter" Is Tougher Than The Olympics | UFC NEWS
"The show is coming up, it's on FX and it's coming to a living room near you. I would also like to mention to the media, and I really hope they report this, this show is the single biggest and toughest tournament that we have in this sport. This isn't a four-man tournament that gets spread over the course of a year. This is a 32-man tournament that will take place over five and a half weeks and to be aired over 10 of the most successful ratings FX has ever seen. This is a tournament that is tougher than the Olympic games, it's tougher than the NFL playoffs, it's tougher than any tournament in sports and that storyline constantly gets missed. This is no more reality TV than the NFL playoffs or the Olympics were. It's real and it's on TV. The bottom line is, this is a tournament. This is a tournament so tough that great fighters like Josh Koscheck, Gray Maynard, Stephan Bonnar and Chris Leben couldn't even win it. It's so tough, that world champions Forrest Griffin and Rashad Evans came through it. I happen to know the talent that has been selected for this show, this will put all of those seasons to shame and there is a world champion, if not more than one, that's in these young men. Write this down, the toughest tournament in mixed martial arts is coming to FX."
During Wednesday's UFC tele-conference to promote season 17 of "The Ultimate Fighter" the Chael Sonnen hype machine turned it's attention to the UFC's reality series by proclaiming it the toughest tournament/athletic competition in the world.
Check out the full audio from the call below.

Sonnen all day bitches!
Sonnen is a Promotion Machine. I think this could be very interesting.
you're trippin bitch. sonnen will get smashed.
Ill make you my bitch like Sonnen will make Bones his bitch
Sonnen has never made one person his bitch in his life. The guy has pillow hands. Bones has hellbows.
Biden – Do the names Stann, Marquardt, Okami, and Filho ring any bells?
Stann is all striking, no real defense for takedowns and groundwork but Sonnen did beat him, but make him his bitch…I don't know if Stann has ever been somebody's bitch. After the Marquardt fight IIRC that was the fight where Sonnen looked like he had been a victim in a horror movie after the fight despite the win. Filho submitted Sonnen and Sonnen payed him back with a decision where Filho fought like he was drunk…eh. Okami has never impressed me on the ground but I haven't seen that fight TBH
Youre an idiot. Sonnen did make Stann his bitch. He made dude tap, wtf else does he have to do? Your poor excuses for all the fighters you named is proof youre an idiot.
Just like he did to Silva right? Oh wait….
I think this will actually work. Now that Tuf is moved to tuesdays and we got Chael already trying to hype this up, plus his cameo on Always Sunny. UFC is desperate but I think the ratings will be a lot better this season.
Chael Sonnen didn't actually appear in Always Sunny, he was just in the promo. It's funny how all the fighters he named off were from the first few seasons of the show. I highly doubt this one will produce a half-decent fighter. Sonnen/Jones will be interesting coaches though. Still doubt I'll tune in though.
This should be one of the best TUF seasons if Chael just keeps being Chael.
Jon Jones is black
chael should replace goldie…..
idk i mean bader deserves credit he has talent compared to guys like brookins,then theres big country,nam phan,john dodson,but still i think bader has to be on the list his only loses are to bones and 2 former champs

This Amazing Villa may not be the dream home anyone is wishing for but this is definitely one that you would be proud going home to at the end of the day. This modern home has a clear effect of "fire and ice" on me – like it looks modernly cold but at the same time amazingly warm with its design.
It is a new project from Vladimir Bolotkin, which represents his undeniable attention to detail. The light color palette complemented the interior design and its layout as well, which I find really interesting and inspirational in more ways than one.
I like the uncluttered "mess" in this modern architecture. I know it may sound like very contradicting but what I mean is the edges are sharp and well-delineated but at the same time the fixtures and furnishings as well as the décor have toned down the crispness of the design. (Via)

Reactive Extensions for .NET for the Rest of Us
The Reactive Extensions for .NET library from Microsoft's DevLabs provides an intriguing insight into how .NET in the future might deal with asynchronous or event-based programming. But, if you've taken a glance at Rx, it can sometimes feel as though Rx was invented by rocket scientists for rocket scientists. In this session, a non-rocket-scientist will walk through the basics of Rx from scratch, talking about what problem the framework is trying to solve, the simple interfaces that underpin its workings and looking at simple, common examples of where Rx might help in your development today and tomorrow.

Mind Control Your Computer In C#
No, really. This isn't some clever session title. I'm really talking about controlling your computer with your mind. I'm not making this stuff up. This is real. Today. You put on a headset, you use a C# SDK and you control your computer with your thoughts. Yes, you are reading this right - you mind control your computer. It is a reality and it is possible today. Once you've gotten over your disbelief consider the applications. Applications for the physically impaired alone are a whole revolution. Not to mention the possibilities for gaming. Want to be shocked and amazed ? Come and see this session.

WP7 and the Silverlight Toolkit
Windows Phone 7 was released in November 2010, accompanied by the usual excellent Microsoft development tools. Creating a simple WP7 app is pretty easy, but incorporating the correct look and feel that truly makes it extend and integrate with the WP7 platform is a little more challenging. In this session, we will take a look at the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone and how it adds additional controls and features to easily add animations to your apps and make them feel like the phone's built-in apps. We'll also introduce the exciting additions to the platform announced recently at MIX and show how they enhance Windows Phone 7 to equal and in some cases, exceed those offered by competing mobile platforms.

This course describes how to save application data such as preferences or form data in the client's browser and use it in applications, including those run offline. Author and programmer Bill Weinman covers the various local storage options provided in HTML5, including local storage, session storage, and the Web SQL and Indexed Database APIs, with practical examples that show how to create and maintain a database in each scenario. The course also covers the use of storage events for change tracking and the cache manifest for using web applications offline.
Hi! I am Bill Weinman and I would like to welcome you to HTML5: Local Storage and Offline Applications in Depth. In this course, we will be examining the four storage options available in HTML5: local storage, session storage, WebSQL, and IndexedDB. I will show you how to create a local dataset using each of these technologies, how to read from your datasets, how to update them, and how to delete data from them, creating a complete application that provides these four fundamental capabilities using each of the available local storage options provided with HTML5.
Along the way, we will look at storage events, so that separate windows can update each other in the same application and the offline applications interface so that your applications can continue to run even when not connected to the network. If you need to understand the storage options available with HTML5 and put them to work in your applications or for your clients, then you will get the answers you need in HTML5; Local Storage and Offline Applications in Depth.
There are currently no FAQs about HTML5: Local Storage and Offline Applications in Depth.
