AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 25, 2006 With the theme, "Reaching Out to Youth: A Strategy for Excellence," the Defense Department and 20 Historically Black Colleges and Universities signed a pledge of commitment to support each other's needs during the DoD observance of National African American History Month held here yesterday and today.
"The commitment shows our mutual support of DoD and the presidents of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in reaching out to our nation's youth to influence them to become better citizens," said Clarence A. Johnson, DoD's director of civilian equal employment opportunity. "To do that, we're working with HBCUs so they can learn the kinds of discipline needed to make them successful in life. One outcome of this, we hope, is that HBCUs become better pipelines for DoD's military and civilian work force."
The idea is to reach out to youth and tell them how to prepare for their careers, Johnson said. "Certainly they must go to college, and HBCUs are a good venue for them to get educated, and DoD is an excellent place for them to work," he said.
Nine more HBCUs than expected signed the commitment yesterday, Johnson noted. "Up until this date, about 20 signed up," he said. "Each time we hold an event like this different times during the year, we get HBCUs to commit themselves with a signature."
Johnson pointed out that DoD is working with HBCUs in support of a 2002 presidential executive order that federal agencies be involved with HBCUs to work toward enhancing their capacity "to serve as a beacon of personnel for use in federal programs as the kids come out of schools," Johnson explained.
Noting that the executive order promotes infrastructure and capacity enhancement, Johnson said DoD brings its programs to HBCUs to encourage them to enhance their research and development program to comply with DoD's needs and to enhance their enrollment of students in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.
"These are the kinds of individuals who DoD and the nation needs if we're going to maintain our global edge in technology," Johnson noted. "We're looking for every opportunity for HBCUs to understand that if they don't have current research and development programs, they need to start developing them. If they have them, they need to figure out how to enhance them."

Totally agree that for the foreseeable future they will coexist, though their target use for most of us will get further away from each other. ie. Facebook for personal and G+ for professional... I think that raises an obvious question though; will LinkedIn Group users flock to G+ Communities? I'd reckon there's a good chance of that.
There have been several articles on the topics of Facebook vs. Google+ and which one will dominate, but I wanted to get the thoughts from the Inbound.org community. Do you think Google+ will ever be the dominate social platform that Facebook currently is, or do you think Facebook is so powerful that they and Google+ will coexist as two powerful social platforms?
I was a HUGE Facebook guy but the Google Authorship is what made me not use Facebook as much. That being said, to us marketers Google+ makes complete sense. However, to others there is no point in leaving Facebook so I'm going to say they will coexist.
I'm with Georgiana. Google+'s attractiveness to professionals means its more of a threat to LinkedIn than it is to Facebook, especially with the introduction of Communities.
Originally I would say they would coexist but with so many brands leaving Facebook, so will the people.
Facebook won't go down as fast as MySpace went down, but give them 4-5 more years and they will be done.
I connect pretty heavily with my friends/family on Facebook and I don't see those personal relationships moving to Google+ unless their entire business side collapses so hard they shut down personal usage.
Great point Mark. Google communities really has taken Google+ to a new level. I also like what Hyrum said, to anyone that knows technology and truly knows what is better, Google+ makes sense. However, to the rest of the world they see no point in moving over. The only way I see Facebook leaving is if they continue to screw over their users like they are starting to do.
I don't think Google+ and Facebook are mutually dependent on each other for anything. I feel like G+ was created as a first step for Google to humanize the web by having a channel for people to identify themselves and the actions they take online.
Also, people behave completely different on G+, FB, and Twitter. For now, I prefer the way people behave on G+ compared to FB. In fact, I haven't engaged on FB since July. So yeah, I think they can coexist as long as they both serve a couple specific purposes that are inline with the way people behave.
I agree with David that Google+ and Facebook are not mutually dependent on each other. I think G+ has been a slow burner that is gradually picking up pace; especially with the value of authorship. I also use G+, Facebook and Twitter very differently, so i don't think it's about one or the other.

The Men's Initiative
The Men's Initiative at SCSU believes that all men have a powerful and considerable influence in reducing sexual assault and violence, if they were allowed, encouraged and provided the resources necessary to speak and act out and engage and influence other men. By speaking up as bystanders, questioning traditional notions of masculinity and addressing the pervasive violence in our communities, men have an immense impact upon gender violence.
Where Do You Stand? Bystander Intervention Campaign
The Women's Center and Men's Initiative are joining with Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services and Men Can Stop Rape in the fight to end sexual violence by participating in the state-wide initiative, Where Do You Stand? Throughout the semester there will be a variety of programs/events offered that support this campaign through providing information on bystander intervention and will also have the opportunity to sign the Where Do You Stand? Pledge!
We encourage you to look through our website and see the programs and resources we provide to the SCSU community.

Stockdale pleased with progress
by Oscar Chamberlain
Coach reflects on U21s' work so far.
Robbie Stockdale highlighted the importance of the upcoming international break, during which the Academy will play three mid-season friendlies.
The U21s face Celtic on Friday, followed by a further friendly against Middlesbrough, with the U18s also taking on Hull City.
And Stockdale states that the development squad will use the friendlies to further their progression, ahead of a return to competitive action against Manchester United on September 15.
"These games are to improve us and we are not treating them as a friendlies – our preparation has been the same.
"We have three games in quick succession and some of the players will have to play in all of them, but if they have a career in professional football this is something they will have to do.
"I don't think it will hurt and it will be good to see how they cope with it, so my job will be to manage them and make sure they go into them the best they can be."
The young Black Cats started the season with a 91st-minute defeat to Liverpool before a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Manchester City, but the coach is keen to see his players push on.
"We have had two very tight games," said Stockdale. "Both of them could have gone either way but that is the fine lines of the competition we are in in.
"We're playing against some of the top-drawer teams who spend an awful lot of money on getting some of the top youth talent, not just in Europe but the world.
"On that front it is great that we are competing against these teams but we don't just want to compete, we want to do well and perform."
He continued: "The biggest positive, which I knew about the group anyway but it has been highlighted, is the togetherness and the standards they have set in matches and in training.
"It is very rare that they fall below those standards in terms of work rate and attitude - anyone can be forgiven for having an off-day technically or tactically but their work ethic has been pleasing.
"During the Liverpool and Manchester City games the effort was there but moving forward I want us to be better with the ball and work harder to retain possession."

Tennessee isn't known as the "Volunteer State" for nothing. This state has a proud history of answering the call for help when needed.
Tennessee earned its nickname when Gov. Willie Blount sent out a call for volunteers during the War of 1812. Thousands of Tennesseans signed up, and many of them later served under the command of Gen. Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans.
In the years since, volunteers in Tennessee have distinguished themselves in all aspects of life, including community service. Local residents now have another opportunity to answer a call for help. The Washington County/Johnson City Emergency Management Agency is offering a course to train community emergency responders.
"The idea is to train as many people as possible so when a disaster strikes they can assist their neighbors in their community until we get there," assistant EMA director Chad Bruckman told Press staff writer Becky Campbell earlier this week.
CERT class topics include personal and family preparedness, earthquake and disaster preparedness, team organization, basic first aid, damage assessment, fire suppression and light search and rescue.
Although the class has room for 25 participants, 10 of those slots already are filled.
The class schedule is June 1 from 6-10 p.m.; June 2 from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.; June 15 from 6-10 p.m.; and June 16 from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
For more information about CERT, visit www.citizencorps.gov/cert/ or call Bruckman at 434-6082 to inquire about the training.

Excellent drink, a must for any special occasion. Many people like poinsettias better than mimosas but it all depends on taste. For a poinsettia, replace the OJ with cranberry juice! Also you should ALWAYS put a half ounce of triple sec into your Mimosas and Poinsettias, you'll see the difference.
Didn't like it. Champagne tastes bad and mixing it with Orange Juice makes the O.J. taste bad also.

Yep, thats definitly how you make mimosa, is there any other way?
I use the POM pomegranate juice with my champagne! Yum
Drink was good as-is but like everybody on this site does, I tweaked the recipe a little. Instead of champagne I used whisky and instead of OJ I tried ice. Perfecto!!!
I don't know that there is any way to go wrong with Mimosa. We have them every year for Christmas and they are great.
I found it to be a little to dry for my taste so I added more orange juice. Guests at my brunch loved it.
This made a great way to toast our thanksgiving breakfast! Very good! For my daughter...7up and OJ, but the adults enjoyed this alot!

Pak-US Relations: CIA Vs ISI
By General Mirza Aslam Beg
There are two issues, which are the main cause of strained relations between Pakistan and the United States of America. One is, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), trying to reclaim its territory lost to CIA during the past regime and the second is the Taliban, who have won the war in Afghanistan, and are not prepared to talk, unless the occupation forces leave Afghanistan. Both the demands are related to "territorial sovereignty" of Pakistan and Afghanistan and there is no going back on it. It is upto the US therefore, to accept the reality and concede to the rightful demands and explore new approach to peace.
The Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)
It were the ISI and CIA mainly, who supported the resistance against the Soviets during the period 1982-1989, joined by "40000 jehadees from Pakistan and over 60,000 from seventy countries of the world." Pakistan Army had no involvement, except General Ziaul Haq and a few of his close aids. The Pakhtuns living on both sides of the Durand Line, provided the hard-core base for the resistance against the Soviet occupation forces, who ultimately accepted defeat, in good grace and asked for a 'safe-exit', which was granted by the Afghan Mujahideen, and the Soviet troops exited unscathed.
The CIA which had worked hand-in-glove with the ISI, were awed by ISI's professional prowess, in defeating the Soviets – a super-power. The Americans therefore decided to demonise the Mujahideen and pressurized Pakistan to "clip the ISI wings". Pakistan government accepted the demand. The serving DGISI, Lt Gen Hamid Gul was replaced by Lt Gen Kallu, a retired officer and the purging of ISI started as early as 1989. The officers and the operatives having any kind of contact with the Afghan Mujahideen, were removed, so much so, that in 1994, when Taliban emerged, the ISI had no role in Afghanistan. In fact, by 2001, when Pakistan joined USA in their war on Afghanistan, ISI's role was reversed, as the enemy of Taliban.
In 2003, on the issue of involvement of Pakistani tribals in Afghanistan, Musharraf agreed to pull-out ISI from the border areas and allowed the CIA and the Marines to monitor the entire border belt from Swat to Balochistan. This was the time, when RAW had already established its spy network inside Afghanistan, and joined hands with the CIA, infesting Pakistan's entire border region with their 'agents and support groups' and by 2005, succeeded in turning the war on Pakistan. (See my article Global Conspiracies Against Pakistan, The Nation 14-8-2007). Since then Pakistan is fighting its own tribals (TPP) and terrorism, perpetrated by the enemy agents and provocateurs.
With the change of government in 2008, the ISI realized the threat to national security and gradually started reclaiming the lost territory. With the arrest of Raymond Davis, the Indo-US conspiracy was exploded and Pakistan demanded that all US spies and agents working in the border region and other areas of Pakistan must disengage and leave. Thus ISI now has extended its network in the border region, re-claiming the territory lost since 2004. And in so doing, they may have come into contract with the Haqqani Group, operating close to the Pakistani borders. And there is no going back on it. This development hurts USA badly as they need a safe exit from Afghanistan. Targeting ISI and calling it a terrorist organization, is counter productive and demonstrates American frustration at the changed situation, which they have failed to understand.
The Taliban
The Americans have tried several options to negotiate peace in Afghanistan on their terms – "A non-Talibanized peaceful Afghanistan." Pakistan too has endorsed the idea. Both are on the wrong track, because in this brutal contest, the Talibans have won and have the right, to lay down the terms for peace and not the American and the allies who have lost the war. In fact the Americans have to demonstrate 'diplomatic wisdom' to accept defeat, as the Soviets did in 1989 and asked for the 'safe exit'. In 1989 Pakistan helped the Soviets to withdraw, because Mujahideen were friendly, but now Pakistan has no such leverage over the Taliban. And the dilemma!
The Taliban of today are very different from the Mujahideen of 1989 – their elders. The hard-core of Taliban consists of the die-hard, 20-30 years old Afghans, who have grown under the shadows of war. They are hardened fighters, with life time experience of war. They are brutal and ruthless. They are guided by one single idea, that is, "to defeat the enemy and liberate the country." That is the single purpose, which is a matter of life and death for them. As early as 2002, they defined it in these words: "We have resolved to fight the occupation forces till they are routed. When we gain freedom, we would take decisions under a free environment. It is unthinkable for the Afghan nation to follow the American plans, as it was not in harmony with their national ethos and traditions. We will carry the war to its logical end, and Insha Allah we will triumph over the enemy and win our freedom". Word by word, they have done, exactly what they claimed.
Mullah Umar and the senior Taliban leadership do have a soft corner for Pakistan and USA, for helping the Afghans to defeat the Soviets, but the "hard-core Taliban" consider USA and their allies, including Turkey as their enemy. They consider the Pakistan Army and the ISI as their enemy, because they joined America's war on Afghanistan. Even Mullah Umar, who has full control over the movement, cannot take decisions against the wishes of the 'hard-core Taliban'. Therefore, for the Americans, their allies and the Pakistanis, the only course open is to negotiate with the Taliban, who are "prepared to engage with the Northern Alliance to work-out a new constitution for the future government in Afghanistan." Any other course to be adopted would lead to greater chaos.
As for the Taliban, they are at peace with themselves. They have fought and sacrificed for over thirty years and will continue to fight, because their faith and commitment to the cause, provides them the abiding strength and resilience to face the mightiest of the mighty. They already have won the contest and will wait for the time they will be asked to define the peace parameters. There is a rethink in Pakistan also to establish friendly relations with the Afghans – our neighbours. The ISI is in the process of re-claiming the lost territories. The Pakistan Army is in a different frame of mind, as it punished the NATO and Afghan Army, recently, for violating our territory opposite Parachinar, killing five NATO troops and several others. This change in mood and temper therefore, must be correctly understood, to explore new possibilities, in order to establish a meaningful relationship with Pakistan.
After the downfall of the USSR, the US has engaged upon itself, on a contradictory basis, the mission of recreate the world in its own image but the representation of hegemonic disruption creates sub-national actors such as Taliban an imperative role in the global power relationships between great powers. It is not Taliban's material power or its ability to utilize force that presents its greatest impact but their capability to use power to press forward an ideology that gives its position in great power politics that challenge the US to dis-engage in global or hegemonic war that leads to the dominance of one state, which then establishes an international order and act as "world –police". In Afghanistan, finally the hegemonic scheme started to weaken, a challenger appears in the form of ISI and Pakistan Army, the recent action of Pakistan Army in punishing the NATO and Afghan Army for violating Pakistan territory opposite Parachinar, which killed members of NATO troops was noteworthy, now the cycle begins yet again with a hegemonic competition the hegemonic order weakens. As the world stand witness to scheming propagation of an ideology that the hegemonic ideology spread by the US; the so called war on terror. This only inspired the emergence of more traditional insurgencies; and the seizure of power in nation-states the manipulation of the ungovernable failed states to develop sanctuaries, the sponsorship of radical regimes already in power, and terrorist attacks against the US and its allies sending a unswerving coercive message: "back off! From this part of the world which we considered OURS! We don't need you! We don't want you! Get the heck out of my country you dummy!
The Taliban haven't won anything. They don't dare face US troops like men, so they resort to suicide bombings carried out by brainwashed idiots who usually only manage to kill civilians. America isn't going anywhere. We will be in Afghanistan for as long as we choose to be, and no illiterate peasants or their enablers in the ISI will change this. I pray for the day when India destroys Pakistan.
I despize you and all your kind Draco … all psychopaths who, like Alexander the Ungreat and the British Raj, got utterly defeated in Afghanistan.
Unlike the Soviet forces, your lot will not get safe passage out of your lost wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya. You represent an empire in a terminal death spiral.
BTW: you are the "illiterate peasant".
Draco you worm, the exact opposite of what you say is true. There is nothing more cxowardly than drones, and to use them in a war of aggression against civilians indiscriminateloy as you do, is about as lowlife and cowardly as it gets.
I stand with you Ayesha, though I do not know what difference I can make from Australia and after sixty years of protesting against US/British and general Western hegemony.
Thanks for your article Mirza. It helps me better understand what is going on.
Question: I used to correspond with Jawad Raza Khan, but I have not heard from him for weeks, any idea why?
Well written article Mr Beg, however, the only thing missing is when and why did the http://www.opinion-maker.org/wp-admin/link-manager.php Americans give you permission to visit your wives!!
i mean you mention that everything the american jews asked of pakistan they got, including security risks to paksitan, tampering with its intelligence agency and weakening it and even asking for its director to be changed to one who is acceptable to american jews in power!!
Are you a country or nuclear powered whore?
One Jewish American senator once stated that if enough money is provided the Pakistanis will sell their mothers!!!!!
I beg to differ, if enough money is given, they can come and take our mother,kill our children,wives, brothers and sisters. relatives, rape torture and mutilate them at will and we will call it the security of Pakistan is ok with us!!!!!!
Do not trust the Jewish American forces or others from the west, with India they will probably attack you sooner then later to ensure the territorial expansion of the Jewish terrorist state called Israel, only Pakistan and Iran stands in they way, if you true Paksitanis do not recognise your enemies then you and your country is doomed to the dustbin of history.
india should not destroy pakistan…………india should help kill the scum in pakistan so that the good civilians can live free…………there should be no indian army or pakistani army there shall be only the anti-terror army i wait for the time these two countries have peace
Mr Beg what ever you say is right. But the problem is that when you are in uniform you see things differently. Its only when you are retired that you start to see the darker side of the US….. And Gen Kiyani is still in uniform
I think and this is my wish too that first of all pakistan and his leader ship should sit and decided not to take any aid or loans from any where but espacially from USA and his agencies because beggers are not the choosers then we can dictate our terms and conditions to other worldType your comment here…
There was a door to which I found no key,
There was a veil past which I could not see,
Some little talk awhile of me and thee;
And then no more of you and me! ………………What is the use of crying over spilt milk,specially when we know we can hope for no better from the pipeline built !

What's the most luckiest thing that's ever happened to you in your life December 21st, 2011 | Horse Racing betting | No Comments »
I betted $250 on this years Melbourne Cup winner (major horse race) and won $2175.
Thank you for answering.
- not really anything as cool as winning lage ammounts of money, but one time i was wearing a skirt, im a guy. and my dog broke a glass in my living room my mom came out and saw me, but she didnt notice what i was wearing. i felt like i was going to die, because she hates gays and verry christian.
I inherited $25,000 from a relative who despised me.
One time I was totally unexpectedly given a check for $5,000 as a reward for turning in some keys I found.
There are lots of things that I could list (big and small) but that should suffice.
Being a 6 hours walk away from civilization one way, a 7 hour walk away the other way, in the snow, at night, in the mountains, in summery clothes, with no phone, no food, an empty water bottle, no tent, nobody knowing where I was, face to face with a disgruntled bull (apparently, cows are very sensitive, and my unrest caused a cow to make a sort of shrieking sound, which got the bulls attention)… I happened to have 3 hunters come across my path, who pulled me over the fence, took me to their cabin, gave me food, made a nice fire, gave me a sweater, gave me a bed to sleep in.
These hunters only came to the cabin once a year for a few days.
- It's a random story. I went to a school bowling event with my girlfriend at the time. We spent all of our money getting drunk at the bar in the bowling alley, and never actually bowled. Afterward, I drove us home and ended up going down the wrong side of an interstate highway. I was pulled over. The officer could have easily arrested me. Instead he told me to follow him to a gas station. He told me to get some coffee and food, and to not get back on the road until the sun is up. So yeah, I could have died, killed other people and ended up in jail. Instead I got a mocha and some donuts. I haven't done anything like that since, and I won't ever again.
- I was born and not aborted.
- After my birthday bash, I joined a special group of elites………..
meeting my sweetie by chance <3
mom took us to the horse track as children and i managed to turn $20 into $100.
in vegas i played the penny slots ( not a fan of casinos ) and made over $20.
- I got shot from 6′ away and didn't die….
Probably getting my current job.

Keep Britain Tidy
Keep Britain Tidy is a British campaign run by the Keep Britain Tidy environmental charity,.[1] The majority of its campaigning is around the issue of litter. It has been using "Keep Britain Tidy" as its slogan for almost fifty years. It describes its mission as being "to create effective action by our targeted groups to achieve a sustained improvement in local environmental quality and reduce anti-social behaviour". The organisation has its headquarters in Wigan, Greater Manchester.[2]
Keep Britain Tidy was originally set up by a conference of 26 organisations in 1955. The conference was initiated by the British Women's Institute after a resolution was passed at its 1954 AGM to start a national anti-litter campaign.[3]
In 1984, Keep Britain Tidy became a limited company and three years later it became the Tidy Britain Group.
In 2002, it had another name change – this time it became ENCAMS — short for Environmental Campaigns. This reflected the fact that the campaign no longer concerned only litter, but now also extended to the question of cleanliness of beaches, as well as the Eco-Schools programme.
In 2006, the ENCAMS regions devolved and from then on concentrated their work solely in England.
In June 2009, the campaign changed its name back to Keep Britain Tidy, also introducing a new logo highlighting the IT within BRITAIN, reading "Keep It Tidy" as well as "Keep Britain Tidy". The "tidyman" logo is still used in public campaigns, alongside campaign straplines such as "Let's keep it tidy!" and "Help keep it tidy!"[4]
Following a year-long strategic alliance, in 2011 Keep Britain Tidy merged with the environmental charity Waste Watch. Both the Keep Britain Tidy and Waste Watch names were retained in the merger, but Keep Britain Tidy became the trading name.
Other campaigns[edit]
Keep Britain Tidy runs the Eco-Schools programme and the Blue Flag beach campaign in England. Keep Britain Tidy also ran the Keep Scotland Beautiful, Keep Wales Tidy and TIDY Northern Ireland campaigns until April 2009, at which point these became the responsibility of their respective devolved organisations.

STOCKTON, CA - A Stockton man won't have to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new iPad after the device was recovered with the help of a tracking app.
Jose Luis Valles, 31, had his Apple iPad in hand while out for a walk Sunday morning when two teens approached him and stole his device. Valles said one teen punched him in the face and the other grabbed his digital device; they then took off in a white van.
"I talked to my brother. So I told him, 'Someone took my iPad. Let me use your iPhone," said Valles. "He gave me the iPhone and I looked for the tracking application. It's called Find iPhone. It located it (my iPad) right away."
The iPad turned up at a residence about three blocks from where Valles was robbed. Two teens, Da'Sean Murphy and Andre Lamar Beard, are now behind bars on suspicion of robbery and possession of stolen property.

Meet with Your Academic Advisor
Review your current DARS report to determine what courses you need to take. Then make an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your course choices. Be sure to bring a current copy of your DARS to your appointment.
During your advising appointment you should:
Scheduling classes is not the only function of academic advising; you should meet with your academic advisor early in the term and be certain to spend time discussing your academic performance and goals as well as your career goals fully and deeply. When you are ready to schedule classes, check in with your academic advisor again. DON'T wait until the last moment to seek academic advising.
Check Your Assigned Registration Time
Students are allowed to access web registration according to total earned hours ("E-hours" on your DARS).
Complete Web Registration
Go to MyISU; choose interactive services and follow links to web registration.
Troubleshooting/Problem Solving
You can not enroll in more than the allowed maximum hours. If you believe you need to enroll in hours above the maximum, you may submit a request. NOTE: In most cases, a decision to exceed the University maximum will not be made until final grades for the current term are posted.
You can not enroll via the web in a course that is full or restricted. If you need to enroll in a full course, you may submit a Scheduling Form (which requires the signature of the professor) to the Office of the Registrar. NOTE: You can not enroll in courses after the first week of any term.
You can not enroll via the web in a class that conflicts with the time of another class in which you are enrolled.
Students may drop a class through the tenth week of the term via web registration; you need your advising PIN, but no permissions. Be certain you retain your advising PIN for the term; it is unreasonable to expect academic advisors to respond to emergency requests for a PIN at the drop deadline.
Note that a grade of DP (dropped passing) or DF (dropped failing) will be recorded on your transcript for any course dropped after the second week of the term (neither grade is computed in your grade point average calculation).
NO class can be dropped after the tenth week of the term.
Specific dates for each term are available on the Important Term Dates calendars on the Office of Registration and Records website.
NOTE: If you want to drop all your classes, you must
from the University.

Video Recording on Titanium
Hey guys, this is my first post and I have a few questions.
I have a digital video camcorder and I want to record video straight into my new powerbook. The camcorder has the tiny dv(?) port just like the apple. Can anyone link me to an appropriate cable and software?
Another question. Does anybody have some good shortcut keys like alt-tab, alt-space, and ctrl-alt-del like in windows? I just started using Mac and my speed of operations is greately diminuished because of my lack of knowledge of shortcut keys.
Thanks for all the help!
Does anybody at least know what cable im talking about?
Your Mac comes with iMovie. This is a free, powerful and easy to use application. Go capture of film and go home and hook up your DV camera to your mac and just play around with it figuring it out. You'll instantly fall in love.
Thank you so much, you've been a big help!
no problem, but this should probably be under the Audio/Video Forums
Yes, and I will move it.
Also, this is the second post today that has basically demanded an answer to a question in less than 2 hours.
This is a public forum. People come here on their off time to help and discuss with others, Apple and their technologies. Because you don't get an answer in 15 minutes doesn't mean you won't get helped.
This isn't a support board. If you need immediate help, I would try Apple.com.
Not that we don't want your patronage, but it gets a little crazy when people demand things from other posters, when these posters are at work and otherwise not always on the boards.
That said, welcome to the forums. We are glad to have you aboard.

Zoo Boise's most "reproductive" year ever continues with the recent arrival of a red panda cub. The male cub was born on June 15, to first time parents, Dolly and Winston. This is the third red panda to be born at Zoo Boise.
Like red pandas in the wild, the cub has been spending his first few weeks in the den with his mother. As he continues to grow and develop, he will slowly begin to emerge from the den to explore the exhibit for short periods of time. Visitors to the zoo may be able to catch glimpses of the cub as he begins to explore more.
As a first time mother, Dolly has been doing a fantastic job of caring for the cub. Zoo Boise staff has been giving Dolly as much privacy as possible, to ensure that she does not become stressed and continues to take excellent care of the cub. For the time being, to reduce stress on Dolly and the cub, Winston has been moved to an exhibit in the Animal Health Complex.
This red panda birth is very exciting and significant for Zoo Boise. The cub's parents, Dolly and Winston, have been matched as part of the Red Panda Species Survival Program (SSP). The SSP is one of the Association of Zoos and Aquarium's many conservation programs. Its primary role is to serve as a breeding program for selected endangered or threatened species – a special animal dating service, if you will. The goal is to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population for these animals in order to increase their numbers and be able to reintroduce certain zoo-bred animals into their natural habitats, if necessary.
The red panda cub joins two snow leopard cubs, a black-crested mangabey baby, a North American porcupette, six skunk kits, a serval kitten, two Ruwenzori long-haired fruit bats and a blue-poison dart frog born at Zoo Boise this year. In addition, through Labor Day, visitors to the zoo can also catch the seasonal Butterflies in Bloom and Dinomotion exhibits.

Visitors from the East
President Buchanan Greets Visitors from Far Away, 1860
When President James Buchanan welcomed a delegation from Japan to the White House, the foreign visitors considered it lacking, without towers or a moat. They did admit it was "handsomely furnished." The three samurai were the first Japanese ever to visit the United States, and they became instant celebrities. For their part, the Japanese considered America to be an inferior society, not likely to last long.

Columbia Gas program saves household $300 in 10 monthsWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
With the cold of winter quickly approaching, Columbia Gas of Ohio's Home Performance Solutions program is looking to help prevent Toledoans from wasting energy.
One year ago, Toledo Free Press profiled Tim Yenrick, the executive director of the American Red Cross Greater Toledo Chapter, as he invited Columbia Gas into his home to perform the program's energy audit. After making all of the recommended changes, Yenrick said he has saved $296.02 during the first 10 months of this year compared to last year.
"I have an older house with some drafty areas," Yenrick said. "I found out I had more drafty areas than I thought I had. I'm glad we did it. They come in and they thoroughly test the house. After I had all the stuff done, they came back and retested it to see if it actually made a difference and it did quite a bit."
During the first 10 months of 2010, Yenrick's household consumed 1,042 Ccf (hundred cubic feet) of natural gas, totaling $1,224.34. In the first 10 months of 2011 with the changes made, Yenrick's home has used 731 Ccf, equating to a bill of $928.32.
"The Home Performance Solutions program is designed to help people where they are losing energy in their home," Columbia Gas of Ohio Communications and Community Relations Manager Chris Kozak said. "The first step to lowering someone's bill is finding out where they are losing that energy. It is a basement-to-ceiling inspection. They take that information and present the customer with the idea of what needs to be done, the approximate cost and the approximate savings."
The $50 energy audit determined that Yenrick needed insulation in four areas of the attic, one exterior wall and one minimal pipe insulation job in the basement. It also determined that his gas furnace was efficient and did not need to be replaced.
Yenrick said he made every recommended change, which was estimated at $2,786.73. Columbia Gas, however, also provides rebates of up to 70 percent if its customers make more than one of the improvements. In some areas, rebates are as high as 90 percent.
"It's always nice in this day and age with the economy for a nonprofit director to [save money]," Yenrick said.
Yenrick also discovered an unexpected bonus to the inspection when the workers found a leak on a gas pipe entering his basement. His gas was turned off and workers were brought out to fix it.
"This is not only an efficiency inspection but a safety inspection as well," Kozak said. "It was good we caught it when we did. At the end of the day, his house was safer as well as more energy efficient."
The energy audit process takes between three and four hours. For more information on the Home Performance Solutions program, visit www.ColumbiaGasOfOhio.com/HPS.

Sorry for all the questions but i think it's fun getting to know other people and the only way to do it over the net is by asking questions.
But I do like your name, sounds very cool. And you don't have to be embarressed or worry about the amount of time you spend in front of the computer - that's nothing! There's 24 hours per day and make sure you enjoy every minute, no matter how. You don't have to feel bad or explain anything to anyone as long as you enjoy what you do. After all it's your time and your life and you know what's best for you. Who am I or anyone else to judge?
Regarding Microsoft - did you see their pressconference at E3? Man, that was awesome (Natal) whether you like them or not! But I share some of your resentment - everything I've bought with the name Microsoft has broken or been damaged in one way or another. Shitproducts! Even my XO. But hopefully something good comes out of Natal, seemed so awesome!
And sorry for the delay, we had a break-in in our house on saturday when i was at my cousins wedding and when we came back we saw the glass broken. Went inside and everything, absolutely everything was upside down. Called the police but they SUCK here in sweden! Checked our stuff and they stole money, jewelry, my phone, consoles, computers and other stuff too so I've borrowed one at the moment.
Feels like a rape in some ways, very violating and disturbing. Ah well, thank god I wasn't at home. I have done surgery to my foot and was seriously thinking about not going but had i stayed home...I think anything could have happened to me since i can't defend myself while lying down and they had hammers and such stuff on them.
We'll see what happens next...
And if you don't like cold weather...don't even think about coming here. It's summer here and it's only 14 degrees C. It sucks royal ass!
To be or not to be...that's the shit!

I wanted to take a second to let everyone know what a great job Joanne Woern did coordinating the Walk-A-Thon for Horsham, Pennsylvania. Although Joanne and I work together, I consider her a good friend because she cared enough about me while I was pregnant to make me aware of Preeclampsia. She was the first one to tell me that I may have Preeclampsia - I didn't even know what it was. Joanne hunted me down in the hospital when I finally delivered the baby to make sure that I was OK, and that my doctors were taking care of me. That is the kind of person Joanne is - she truly cares. You can see it in the way she organized the event. She did an excellent job of getting awareness out in the community by gathering local companies sponsorship and gifts. Even during the Walk, people in the park were asking questions and supporting the cause. There was a good turn out of families and friends of those directly and indirectly associated with Preeclampsia. I definitely nominate Joanne to Coordinate the event again! She did a phenomenal job!
