This is it, boys and girls. We're nearing the end of days for the PC processor as we know it. There are storms of change on the horizon and it's anyone's guess what the PC will be like in hardware terms when it blows over.
Right now, things are much as they've always been. You pays your money, you takes your choice. In other words, you get to choose any CPU you like and match it with a motherboard and a graphics card. You've got both AMD and Intel options. And in many cases, you've still got full control over the chip you buy. You can overclock it, underclock it, swap it out and generally mess about with it.
Trust us on this - much of that could begin to disappear within the next 18 months, so enjoy it while it lasts.
If you're wondering why, there are a number of trends at work. Firstly, AMD's position is pretty precarious. We'll come to that in more detail later, but AMD is truly teetering on the edge of oblivion. Then there's the market's obsession with all things ultra-mobile and the technological trend towards greater feature integration that entails.
Very likely, it won't be long before you can't buy a drop-in CPU. They'll come soldered onto motherboards. So while we've a few complaints about the current state of play in CPUs, there's a chance we'll soon be looking back on this as a golden age in terms of choice and flexibility. So get out there and revel in it, we say.
There are some great CPUs from both AMD and Intel that can still be enjoyed in true enthusiast fashion. They're fully drop-in-able. They're tweakable. They're fun. And the way the CPU market is going, they'll probably keep getting the job done for at least a couple of years.
During the making of this CPU roundup, it felt like we were living on borrowed time. The PC is in a transitional period and five years from now much of what you take for granted when you spec up a rig will either be gone or very different.
There are two major drivers here: the trend towards ultra-mobile and AMD's failure to really stick it to Intel at the performance end of the market, even if it produces good chips for tighter budgets.
But let's start with that ultra-mobile mania. It explains why all of Intel's mainstream PC processors now contain on-die graphics. With any generation of computer chip, you have a given quantity of transistors available. That transistor 'budget' increases over time as manufacturing technology shrinks individual transistors.
In the past, it was pretty much all spent on improving CPU performance. More complex execution units, more cache, more cores, added features to help the cores like an on-die memory controller.
Already, however, that process has slowed. Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors are a great example. At around 1.4 billion transistors for the quad-core version, such as a Core i5-3570K, Ivy Bridge is fully 240 million transistors bigger than the Sandy Bridge quad-core chip it replaced, but it doesn't have any additional cores or extra cache. Okay, the execution units are slightly tweaked, but we're talking typically low single-digit improvements in per-clock performance. That's not a lot to show for a 20 per cent increase in complexity.
The logical explanation, of course, is that Intel chucked almost all those 200-odd million transistors at Ivy Bridge's graphics core. The same thing will apply next year when the new Intel Haswell chips arrive. They will still be four-core beasts at best, and most of the increase in transistor count will be blown on improving the integrated graphics.
The problem is that, to date, Intel's on-die processor graphics has not been gaming worthy. In a mobile PC context, the power efficiency of integrated is great, but on the desktop and if you're into games, it's dead silicon. Worse than that, it means Intel is compromising processor performance - performance you'll actually use - in favour of improving integrated graphics performance that you won't use from crap to merely mediocre.
Eventually Intel's processor graphics will come good for gaming, but we're still several years away from that happening. Anyway, all this is because mobile computing is driving CPU design. Actually, that's not entirely the case - it's also because AMD hasn't stepped up to the plate.
AMD can't compete with the sheer raw performance of Intel's fastest current four-core chips in the LGA1155 socket. And that means it's nowhere near Intel's high-end chips in the LGA2011 socket. LGA2011 chips, of course, don't have processor graphics and are entirely focussed on CPU performance. But without AMD keeping Intel honest, LGA2011 chips are intentionally hobbled and very expensive.
Put it this way: if AMD had a competitive CPU, Intel's six-core LGA2011 CPUs would probably be half the price they are today, and there would also be eight cores on top. Put it all together and the unavoidable, undeniable conclusion is that Intel's desktop CPUs are already nothing like what they would be if Intel was simply focusing on performance.
But what of AMD? Well, that's an entirely different problem. And it's all to do with execution. Put simply, everything AMD has launched in the past five years has been too late and too slow. That's a great pity because AMD is more likely to sell straightforward CPUs in the configurations that desktop PC enthusiasts want. Plus, if those CPUs were more competitive, Intel would surely be forced to do things differently, too.
On the bright side
At this stage, we've painted a pretty bleak picture of the state of PC processors. But actually, things are still pretty good. You can still buy CPUs separately and mix and match them with motherboards and GPUs, allowing you to get the performance balance just so.
And AMD's chips are still competitive at certain price points, which has a knock-on effect across the market. More to the point, while it's likely CPU performance would be even higher if AMD had played a better game in recent years, of course today's processors are still extremely effective bits of kit. Intel may not have actually added cores to its mainstream chips, but it has done a very good job of improving per-core performance.
Sandy Bridge was a huge step forward in that regard and the latest Ivy Bridge processors raised the game a little further. All of which means that these are still the good times, right now. Five years from now, it's hard to say, but it's extremely likely you'll have a lot less choice, and year-on-year CPU performance increases may have slowed to a trickle - AMD may be a goner, for instance, and it's likely you won't be able to buy a stand alone CPU and drop it into your motherboard of choice. A few years after that, you may have to swallow motherboard, CPU and graphics in one big pill.
Back in the here and now though, let's enjoy what's on offer. If you're gaming mad, like us, the good news is that you don't need to go right to the top of Intel's current catalogue to get great performance. Intel's mainstream quads are still outrageously good. For those on tighter budgets, there are some very compelling options, some of which come from AMD.
If you've got a ton of cash, of course, there are even more options. In fact, we've thrown an Intel Xeon chip into the mix to show both how things might have been at the high end and also how you can get round Intel's increasing tendency to sandbag.
It's also worth noting that from a PC performance and gaming enthusiast perspective, now is a really great time to buy. Next year's Haswell chips from Intel are highly unlikely to bring dramatic increases in CPU performance. On the AMD side, we had hoped to see the company really raise its game next year, but now that's looking unlikely before 2014. If ever.
So it's fair to say that a decent CPU bought today will still be competitive for several years to come. As Arnie says, then, do it. Do it now.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) -- WZZM 13 is taking a closer look at whether the recent flooding is helping lakeshore communities that were suffering from low water levels. On Tuesday, scientists discussed the water levels on the Great Lakes and the impact of April storms.
Grand Haven's Harbor Island is one area that has struggled with low water levels.
"The biggest complaints I get is our lack of water at our boat launch," says Dan Vivian, Grand Haven's Facilities and Grounds Manager.
City officials say the recent flooding is hurting the boating industry and even the benefit of additional water won't last. "It brings debris down, the currents are real strong," says Vivian."
City officials estimate that an additional two and a half feet of water were added to the Grand River near Harbor Island. Even with the increased water levels, the docks are still sitting on land and there are no boats around. City officials say that's because flooding also makes it difficult to dredge or remove sand.
"We can't do that with the amount of water coming down, there's just too much current for them to get the equipment in," says Vivian.
Scientists do expect the heavy rain will help Lake Michigan bounce back from historic low water levels, but that could also be short term.
"It's hard to say whether or not that high level will persist, whether conditions next year will lead to further rise, or whether water levels will go down," says Drew Gronewold, a hydrologist with the NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory.
"What we want is the steady rains, maybe one or two small rain events per week throughout the summer," says Gronewold.
Until dredging is complete, city officials say boaters enter the water at their own risk. If the current slows down, city officials hope to start dredging in the next week.

So it looks like this year is going to be a year that Palm makes a jump back into the cell phone market. In the past year or so Palm hasnt' really been seen on the market. Many people had lost confidence as they had issues with the 680 and 750 models. Well now this year with the Palm Pre releasing they have announced the Palm Eos
This is looking to be the first North American phone that will run on the Palm WebOS. As for the phone it seems pretty standard.
The specs we've seen come from BoyGeniusReport.com
- Quad-band GSM, 850/1900MHz HSDPA
- 111 x 55 x 10.6mm (looks like the E71's reign as the thinnest QWERTY smartphone is coming to an end)
- 2.63-inch 320 x 400 capacitive display
- 4GB storage
- Price: $349 (pre-rebate)
- Camera: 2 megapixel fixed focus digital camera and flash / video capture
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP and EDR, USB 2.0 via micro USB
- Removable 1150 mAh battery (4 hours 3G talk time)
- Messaging: SMS, MMS (picture and video only), integrated IM client
- Contact sync with AT&T Address Book
- MediaNet
- Cellular Video
- Email: POP3, IMAP4, and EAS support
- Audio: WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+ ringtones
- Video Playback: MPEG4, H.264, H.263
This new phone looks like it will help get Palm back in the game, or at least get a foot in the door. One nice feature is that it will have North American 3G, which has definitely something that's been lacking in some recent phones that have been released.
Only time will tell how well the phone will do but it does give people a choice.

Roger Vivier once said, To wear dreams on oneÂ's feet is to begin to give reality to oneÂ's dreams.Â" Since we think that there are loads of dreamy shoes that are currently available, we thought it thought it was time for another installment of A GuyÂ's Opinion. This week our average Joe (or in this case, Niko, 35, bon vivant and quite fantastic) is commenting on winter shoes. Read on for what men really think about your sexy stilettos and forgiving flats. First things firstÂ--I do usually look at shoes ASAP, but if a women is nice, she's nice. That said, your toes better be kept up (if you aren't keepin' the toes tight, you probably aren't keepin' other things very kept either?). Please, no toes hangin' over the front of any opened-toed shoe. No backless (slip-on) heels, because it looks lazy and cheap. Definitely do not wear platform flip-flops (especially white onesÂ--we mean you Orange County!) and certainly no takinÂ' off heels to dance. Women leave them onÂ--deal with the painÂ--girls take them off. This ain't no highschool dance. The better the shoe, the more pain. Sorry, itÂ's part of being a woman...
1. Not your average run-around-town footwear, but hot! Ankle-breaker fo sho! ItÂ's sexy when women can even walk in this kind of shoe, let alone own and wear them. Probably hot on some trendy girl with one of those short, potato sack-looking dresses and stockings? ItÂ's like the Olsen girls meets Emo meets S&M. Good stuff.
2. This is a practical, run-around-town, daytime shoe. Be careful though, don't be matching this up to some Bedazzled top or denim, or some garbage Ed Hardy stuff. You could match this up with some silver necklaces and bracelets or they would also be hot with some Tsubi-type of skinny denim, deep V-neck sheer tees and cardigans. The shoes are kinda flashy, but practical, however, I could do with out the broaches on the toes.
3. Hmmm, not a fan, but could work. Everything is how you rock it and what you rock it with. Again, because the shoe is pretty flashy, don't overdue the rest of the kit. Definitely don't wear a studded belt with these, but it would probably look good with a little black dress or black denim. These shoes are definitely a Cougar fave I'm sure.
4. These are good. Another good daytime choice, but could cross into evening as well. All depends on the kit as well. My call would be to wear with denim. You could dress it up with top, coat and headwear or dress it down with a tee/tank and sweater. I have the male equivalent to these, done by Gucci. I could see them on an uptight NY socialite running around Manhattan or your average, everyday pop-star grabbing lunch.
5. I'm a sucker for red. Do NOT disturb the sexy!! Toe cleavage is hot too. The strap ads that extra bit of Mary Jane-ish, school girl-fantasy BS. A confident woman rocks these with some cool dress. Me likey.
6. Almost a granola version of the #1 shoe. I like. They give a sexy and warm feeling, maybe they should be worn with vintage stuff. Other options would be off-white tights or knee high socks, or even a baby doll dress. You could go the dressed down route by wearing them with some denim. I donÂ't think that these would work for your average Lilith Fair-granola women because of how high the heel is, but I could see them on someone in an organic -feeling outfit (as opposed to dressier fair).

Early starts best – but late starts possible when raising slow kids
Years ago, when columnist John Rosemond was about to become a grandfather, he wrote a column giving his son, Eric, just two pieces of advice about fatherhood.
Although I am not a Rosemond worshipper by any stretch of the imagination, and cannot even recall the second piece of advice, one piece has remained chiseled into my brain for life.
Rosemond's suggestion to his son? To lock up the TV set until his child entered school.
The idea might seem radical, but it grew out of Rosemond's own difficult experience raising Eric. After learning that he was failing third grade, Rosemond and his wife imposed a number of changes in household rules and routines. Convinced that Eric's TV-watching habit was the chief contributor to his problems, they decided not just to limit the family's viewing; they gave the family TV set away.
The results were dramatic and almost instantaneous, writes Rosemond in his book, Parent Power.
Eric and his sister began playing more creatively and calmly, and sibling conflicts – typically fights over TV shows – lessened remarkably.
"Undoubtedly, some of the improvement was due to the other changes we were making," writes Rosemond. "But I'm convinced that the single most critical variable in Eric's rehabilitation was the sudden and complete absence of television in his life."
Ben Carson, the famed surgeon, tells the story of a similar dramatic turnaround in his own life.
Carson and his brother were raised in poverty on the streets of Detroit by a single, teenage mother who had little education; but she was one smart mom and was determined to raise them right. When her son fell behind in school, she took away both boys' TV privileges and instructed them to read two books a week, write reports, and read them aloud to her (because she couldn't read herself).
Within a year or two, Carson says, he went from being considered "the dumbest kid in fifth grade" to one of the top students in seventh grade. The benefits spilled over into his personal life, and he began to devise ways to outsmart street thugs, deal with racism and keep his temper in check -- eventually going on to Yale and a career as a gifted surgeon and best-selling author.
Leading children to addiction?
Of course, both the Carson and the Rosemond children grew up in an era when TV was the main time-waster and source of addiction for vulnerable children. Today, the gallery of addictive devices has expanded to Nintendos, X-Boxes, PlayStations, computer games and all manner of handhelds and cell phone games. And often, it is the parents themselves buying the items that lead their children to addiction. As Stephen Moore lamented in a 2008 Wall Street Journal column, addiction to video games can turn even "normal, sports-loving adolescents" into demons who rant, rage and curse and throw things when deprived of their toy. "My teenage sons have been abducted, and I want them back," wrote Moore.
After discovering Xbox and online war games, the boys began spending five or six hours at a time in front of the computer screen, said Moore, and "withdrawing ever deeper" into violent fantasy worlds. Other parents told Moore that their children were so addicted that they had stopped bathing and taking bathroom breaks and were skipping meals and foregoing sleep.
"Computer games are the new crack cocaine," said Moore, who said he wished he had never let one in the house. "A mind really is a terrible thing to waste."
Yes, you might say, but what about all the benefits of video and computer games? What about the research that says video games can help train pilots by enhancing eye hand coordination and reaction time?
So I've heard – just as I've heard that video games have been shown to benefit persons with special needs and disabilities.
I still believe that video games have absolutely no place in early childhood, and that any screen time for preschoolers should be parceled out in only the tiniest of doses.
Computer games, video games, TV and other manufactured forms of entertainment are not merely useless when it comes to educating children, or preparing them for school or adulthood. When allowed to replace active, hands-on learning experiences that are crucial to neurological and physical development, they are downright toxic.
It's not the content that harms kids as much as the passive habits induced by too much screen time – especially for the preschool set.
What red-blooded American kid, after all, is going to be motivated to read, explore, or get psyched about school when he's spent his formative years pushing a button and mainlining his entertainment – without making a move?
Taking the right path early
It's not hard to figure out that keeping kids free of screen-time addiction is best done in the early years. And if you start them down the right path when they are toddlers, it's a piece of cake compared to the Rosemond and Carson interventions.
One of the moms who wrote in response to a previous "Slow Kids" column told me that her home is decorated in "Tinker Toys and Legos in various stages of build" – reminding me of my girls' pre-Lego years, when I used to joke that my house was decorated in "Early Fisher-Price."
In the toddler years, all it takes is a few good toys and a little help from parents – okay, some days it's a lot of help! – to get kids into a routine of playing with puzzles and blocks instead of watching TV. (Note, Mom and Dad, that this is easier if the TV is not the focal point of the living area, and is not watched non-stop by adults). I have known some families to keep their TV in a closet or an out-of-the-way room, but my girls' dad wouldn't hear of such a thing, so our television was typically secured in a cabinet with a child lock all day.
I can't begin to list all the benefits of this nearly TV-free lifestyle for my children, but, like Rosemond, I consider it the
central reason that they grew up to be good students, responsible adults and hard workers.
The lack of TV also had some nice, unexpected side effects – such as the minimal amount of begging I heard at holiday time. The other moms in my playgroup complained of relentless whining from their kids for cartoon-inspired and commercially-promoted toys and junk cereals. My kids? They barely knew such things existed.
But perhaps best of all, the absence of TV brought out all the childhood traits that were so enjoyable for me to observe as a parent: the girls' curiosity, initiative and creativity.
I'll never forget the neighbor child who came over one day to play with my six-year-old, and who greeted me by marching to our TV set and flipping it on without a word.
After I had informed her that parents turned on the TV set in our house, and reminded her that she had come to "play," my daughter – realizing that she and her sisters had an extra playmate – launched into one of their make-believe games. I can't remember if the game was "store," "restaurant," "school," or "college girls," but in no time my three were deep in their fantasy – and the neighbor child was watching in open-mouthed astonishment.
Wide-eyed and completely dumbfounded, she looked at me and asked, "What are they doing?"
I felt bad for her – and felt resentment toward parents who would rely so heavily on plug-in toys that their daughter had been deprived of the "let's pretend" experience.
Today, 20 years later, I can't bear to think how many more children are growing up deprived of books, blocks, puzzles and make-believe because their homes are full of gadgets that do the imagining for them. Too often, parents are buying these computer games and gadgets – envisioning them as vehicles for family entertainment, or thinking that having the latest game will keep their kids occupied and or even give them an edge.
So in the next "Slow Kids" column, we'll examine some of the myths surrounding different forms of electronic entertainment, and take a look at the educational value of computer games, videos and lapware.
Till then, here's to the life unplugged!

The Women's Health Initiative randomized trial of calcium plus vitamin D: Effects on breast cancer and arthralgias.
This study looked at the question: would calcium and vitamin D supplements decrease risk of breast cancer ? 32,282 women were randomized to receive either 1000 mg calcium carbonate and 400 IU vitamin D or placebo. The women were postmenopausal, with no history of breast cancer for the past 10 years. The study was stopped after 7 years.
The study found no difference in the rates of invasive breast cancer (528 cases in Calcium/D group vs. 546 cases in the placebo group) or non-invasive breast cancer. They also reported no difference in joint pains, which was a secondary question of the study.
Several previous retrospective studies (looking back on Ca/Vit D use) did show a benefit. Possible explanations for the lack of effect on breast cancer incidence in this study include:
At the present time, Ca and Vit D supplementation can not be recommended to prevent breast cancer.

The number one trending story on Yahoo right now is Queens AK-47.
I see it and think to myself, what would Queen Elizabeth want with an AK?
Whoops, scratch that. Queens, New York:
A Queens mom who hoped to see her teen son become a marine biologist instead saw him Saturday in the morgue.
Xavier Granville, 17, was gunned down by a pair of ski-masked gunmen — one toting an AK-47 assault rifle — after a late-night party in Far Rockaway, police sources said.
"My son didn't deserve to go out like this," said a distraught Shakira Granville after identifying the body of her only child. "The pain I feel. I'm just in shock."
Ah, the pain no mother wants to go through. Standby for gun control tripe from el Mayor. Even though I doubt the punks who shot Xavier had the gun legally.

A nation's choice between spending on military defense and spending on civilian goods has often been posed as "guns versus butter." But understanding the choices of many nations' political leaders might be helped by examining the contrast between their runaway spending on pensions while skimping on military defense.
Huge pensions for retired government workers can be found from small municipalities to national governments on both sides of the Atlantic. There is a reason. For elected officials, pensions are virtually the ideal thing to spend money on, politically speaking. Many kinds of spending of the taxpayers' money win votes from the recipients. But raising taxes to pay for this spending loses votes from the taxpayers. Pensions offer a way out of this dilemma for politicians.
Creating pensions that offer generous retirement benefits wins votes in the present by promising spending in the future. Promises cost nothing in the short run — and elections are held in the short run, long before the pensions are due.
By contrast, private insurance companies that sell annuities are forced by law to set aside enough assets to cover the cost of the annuities they have promised to pay. But nobody can force the government to do that — and most governments do not.
This means that it is only a matter of time before pensions are due to be paid and there is not enough money set aside to pay for them. This applies to Social Security and other government pensions here, as well as to all sorts of pensions in other countries overseas.
Eventually, the truth will come out that there is just not enough money in the till to pay what retirees were promised. But eventually can be a long time.

In what might be called "Benghazigate," the controversy has continued over what the president and vice president knew, and when they knew, about requests for increased security at diplomatic posts in Libya, prior to the September 11 armed attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.
ForeignPolicy.com reported October 14 that the White House has denied any knowledge of repeated requests made to the State Department for more security in Libya. Deputy National Security Advisor for Communications Ben Rhodes said Vice President Joe Biden was speaking only for himself and President Obama, and not of the administration more generally, when he said in the October 11 vice presidential debate with Paul Ryan, "We weren't told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there." Biden's remarks came under fire from Republicans, who pointed to a well publicized House committee hearing just one day earlier in which officials charged with responsibility for diplomatic security testified that their requests for more agents had been denied by the State Department.
"All of us at post were in sync that we wanted these resources," Eric Nordstrom, the top regional security officer in Libya over the past summer, testified at an October 10 hearing by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Nordstrom said that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb told him not to request a Site Security Team extension. "I was told that because there would be too much political cost," Nordstrom said. "We went ahead and requested it, anyway,"

Bill W.
Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine's 100 Persons of the 20th Century. Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women - a success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero, Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy that continues every day, all around the world.

His performance as high-maintenance NFL star Rod Tidwell in Jerry Maguire (1996) made Cuba Gooding, Jr. a star. ("Show me the money!" -- Tidwell's demand of his agent, played by Tom Cruise -- became an enduring pop culture catch phrase.) The role won Gooding a 1997 Oscar as best supporting actor. Throughout his career, Gooding has mixed dramas like Boyz 'N the Hood (1991) and Men of Honor (2000, co-starring Robert DeNiro) with extra-nutty comedies like the frantic Rat Race (2001) and the I'm-not-really-gay flick Boat Trip (2002). He had a surprise hit with the Disney comedy Snow Dogs (2002). His other films include The Fighting Temptations (2003), Radio (2003, co-starring Ed Harris), and Shadowboxer (2005, with Helen Mirren). He played neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson in the 2009 TV film Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.
Extra credit: His brother, actor Omar Gooding, also played a football star in the 2003 ESPN series Playmakers... His father, Cuba Gooding, Sr., sang lead for the pop group The Main Ingredient; their big hit (1972) was "Everybody Plays the Fool"... Cuba Gooding, Jr. has two sons: Spencer (b. 1993) and Mason (b. 1996)... Gooding's exuberant Oscar acceptance speech featured him shouting, "Tom Cruise, I love you brother, I love you man... Everybody who's involved with this, I love you, I love you!"

About Diane Fine
Crayons and colouring books were
once my treasured companions.
Luckily for my parents they were the
packaged babysitters of my
early childhood. I became
adept at neatly and evenly
colouring within the bold, black
outlines of cartoon characters.
What a sense of accomplishment!
In grade three, I painted my own
version of a goofy giraffe.Suddenly
I was more than dexterous;
I might actually have some talent!
My parents then sent me
for private art lessons.
Mrs. Kushmario was a beautifully
coiffed,cultured European lady.
Making a mess in her elegant
apartment was not on the curriculum.
She chose the subject matter and
the medium for me. I would work
for hours slavishly copying what was
put before me.
Then, my instructor would erase or
draw over all evidence of my involvement.
I would sign it and bring it
home to my parents who marveled
at how well I was progressing.
To this day, there are still
many of those framed pieces
of Greek busts, Japanese prints
and National Geographic llamas
hanging on their walls.
Years of visual art exploration
have been an attempt to free
myself from those early days
and to unleash my own
imagination - always venturing
into unknown territory.
In my work for the past decade,
I have been instinctively drawn to
manipulating shapes and colours
to create stirring images. Mixed
media collage is my chosen
medium for this exploration.
The collage technique serves
to free my imagination from the
confines of replication. The
process is resolved as pieces
are added to the puzzle.

|Research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says that some Arctic ponds are drying up -- despite evidence to suggest that those ponds have been wet for thousands of years. The shallow ponds found in the high Arctic are important ecosystems, freezing solid in the winter but teeming with life during the summertime. Researchers believe the drying of the ponds may be due to global climate change. We'll talk about it.

Brown Deer voters approve both referendum questions
Brown Deer will move to a two-school campus with an upper school for grades seven through 12 that will have a field house. Voters in the village approved both referendum questions Tuesday.
Question 1, asking approval of an $18 million plan for two schools, passed by a sound 63.22 percent of the votes cast, 1,339 yes to 766 no. That plan includes moving grades K4 through six into the current middle school which will be renovated and repurposed and moving grades seven and eight into the current high school.
An addition will be built on the high school to accommodate the additional grades. The money also provides some funding for outdoor improvements on the large campus, including walking paths.
Question 2, asking for a $4 million field house, a large gym with an indoor track, at the current high school, was also approved by a smaller margin, with 52.03 percent or 1,102 votes for it, 46.13 percent or 977 votes against it.
Dean School will be razed once the other buildings are ready for students.
North Shore fire service consolidation saved millions, report says
Public Policy Forum says in a new report.The consolidation of seven municipal fire and rescue departments on the North Shore 20 years ago has saved the communities millions of dollars while providing a superior level of service, the
Those seven municipalities together would have paid a total of $2.8 million more annually in operating costs in 2014 to achieve an equivalent level of service, if they had not combined the departments into one unit, says the report, "Come Together: An analysis of fire department consolidation in Milwaukee County's North Shore."
Success of the North Shore Fire Department prompted Public Policy Forum President Rob Henken to remind other municipalities in southeastern Wisconsin that consolidating a variety of services — fire and rescue, police, health and even school districts — could save taxpayer dollars.
The numbers alone — 146 municipalities and 92 school districts in the seven-county region — show there is plenty of opportunity, Henken said.
While North Shore communities talked for 10 years before consolidation occurred in 1995, it could not have succeeded without the willingness of public officials to take a risk, Fire Chief Robert Whitaker said.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer will build new public works facility
Brown Deer — Brown Deer officials decided Monday night to build a new public works building next to Village Hall with the hopes of spurring redevelopment at the building's existing location in the Original Village neighborhood.
The public works facility is currently located on a 3.9-acre lot at 8717 N. 43rd St. in the recently-redeveloped Original Village neighborhood. At least $1 million in repairs have been identified at the 49-year-old public works building, not including the extra 2,302 square feet of space needed to properly store snow plows and other public works vehicles.
The new public works facility would be built on a 6.5-acre plot of land located between Brown Deer Police Department and Rite-Hite. The grassy vacant land is owned by Rite-Hite and is assessed at $1.1 million.
The loss of tax revenue on the 6.5-acre Rite Hite property could be recouped by redeveloping the existing DPW lot into a mixed-use facility with high-end apartments and retail stores, which village officials say would be a better fit for the quaint downtown neighborhood. Additionally, any redevelopment at at the existing DPW site would financially bolster the village's suffering fourth tax incremental district, which is running at a $1.4 million deficit.
The only village official to vote against the idea was Trustee Terry Boschert, who favored rebuilding the facility at its current site. He said purchasing the Rite-Hite property for the assessed $1.1 million is too much a gamble, considering the current DPW site in the Original Village area could sit undeveloped for the next decade.» Read Full Article

Animated characters help patients discuss ailments, levels of pain
The company's vision initially seems fanciful:
Create applications for health care featuring animated characters that can understand language in all its complexity, from context to regional idioms, detect emotion and recognize facial expressions, perceive differences in personalities, and on top of all that, constantly learn.
To make all this seem even more far-fetched, put the company's base in the second floor of a modest office building on Mequon Road.
Yet iDAvatars is among the companies that have set out to create applications based on one of the most advanced computer systems in the world — IBM's Watson. And IBM has taken note.
"They are one of the most innovative companies we work with," said Lauri Saft, who oversees IBM's partnerships with companies developing applications for the Watson system. "I've seen very few that have moved as quickly as they have."» Read Full Article
Homestead High graduate killed in Afghanistan plane crash
An airman from Wisconsin was among the 11 people killed when a U.S. Air Force military transport crashed at a base in Afghanistan, his sister said Friday.
Airman Quinn Johnson-Harris, 21, was a 2012 graduate of Homestead High School in the Milwaukee suburb of Mequon.
Johnson-Harris was among six U.S. service members and five civilian passengers killed in the crash Sept. 25 at Jalalabad Air Field in eastern Afghanistan.
His sister, Fa-tia Johnson, says he was her best friend and she's sad to see him gone. She says his work as a loadmaster was his passion.
"He was an amazing individual, and we really lost one, but you know what? They gained an angel," Johnson said.» Read Full Article
Badger Meter River Park opens in Brown Deer
Brown Deer — A grassy, weed-covered lot has been transformed into a public park with walkways and a public launch for kayaks and canoes on the Milwaukee River.
The 2.4 acre Badger Meter River Park is located at 3701 W. Brown Deer Road, just east of the interchange at Brown Deer and Green Bay roads. In addition to adding a kayak and canoe launch, porous parking lot and walkways, the village also planted native prairie grasses and oak savanna trees. A pavilion with picnic tables is planned for the future.
The $230,000 project was made possible with a $40,000 donation from Badger Meter, a fluid measurement and control mechanism manufacturer headquartered off Brown Deer Road. The company, which has eight plants in five countries, has maintained its headquarters in Brown Deer since the 1950s.
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District contributed $25,000 for a 2,323-square-foot bioswale and 4,705-square-foot parking lot made of porous pavement. The new green infrastructure will capture about 32,000 gallons of water during rain events. The bioswale also helps purify the water, reducing pollutant runoff into the Milwaukee River.
Brown Deer hasn't created a new public park since Fairy Chasm Park in 1991.» Read Full Article

Glendale's 27th Street renamed to Sidney Place after homeowners' request
Glendale — Eight homeowners on 27th Street will have to get their addresses changed, but they say the paperwork is well worth it.
The Glendale portion of 27th Street was renamed Monday, Sept. 28, by the Glendale Common Council. The new street name, Sidney Place, matches their Glendale neighbors north of the West Como Place intersection.
As required by city ordinances, the new street name was requested by a majority of homeowners on 27th Street. The petition was circulated by resident Nicole Harmelink. By making it clear those eight homes are in Glendale, Harmelink said property values on those homes will go up.
Renaming the street would also make it easier to locate those eight homes on GPS devices. They currently appear as Milwaukee addresses, not Glendale addresses.
The petition was also signed by Police Chief Thomas Czarnyska, who has lived on 27th Street in Glendale for 38 years. While Glendale police know about the geographical quirk of 27th Street, he said the North Shore Fire Department and Milwaukee County law enforcement agencies may not be able to find them using their GPS devices.» Read Full Article

Kirkendoll saves day with pick as Whitefish Bay takes NSC grid lead
Whitefish Bay defensive back Michael Kirkendoll was on the trainer's cart at midfield fighting off cramps in his calf and straining to put a smile on his face as it seemed each and every one of his teammates came over to congratulate him on his game-saving interception against Germantown on Sept. 25.
Just moments earlier, he had been laying on the ground in the front left corner of the end zone, having outfought a Warhawks receiver for a jump-ball pass with just 6 seconds remaining and Bay holding a tenuous 24-21 lead.
The subsequent celebration was delayed a few minutes as Kirkendoll struggled to get up right away and was tended to by trainers.
When the cart finally came to midfield, his happy teammates were there to greet him as the interception and subsequent victory gave Bay sole possession of first place in the North Shore Conference at 4-0 (5-1 overall). Germantown, which had overcome an early 14-0 deficit, fell to 3-1 and 4-2, respectively.
"He initially caught it," said Kirkendoll of the Warhawks receiver, "but I ripped it out right over his shoulder. We just had to stop them there, and I couldn't have done it without the entire offense and defense giving it their all, too."» Read Full Article
Nicolet boys volleyball team holds off Homestead in NSC thriller
The Homestead boys volleyball team, which fought off six match points in the fourth set of its match with rival Nicolet Wednesday, could not fight off a seventh when the Knights went to their strength.
For about the millionth time that night it was a block that in the end provided the decisive point.
The Knights block rotated to account for an attack from the outside and that finished off the entertaining match, 26-24, 25-20, 23-25, 29-27. It was a large part of what coach Brad Kuehl called "the best defensive effort we've had this year."
"What a great high school sporting event," added Kuehl. "It's what high school sports is all about. Each set was hotly contested and these kids just went to battle."
The win improved Nicolet to 3-1 in North Shore Conference duals, just behind league four-time champ Germantown while Homestead fell to 2-2.» Read Full Article
Energized Shorewood swimmers just miss in Woodland meet
The Shorewood girls swim team had a very good meet at the Woodland Conference Relays on Sept. 23.
The problem was, was that New Berlin Eisenhower had a great meet and that resulted in a three-point loss for the Greyhounds to the Lions in the final team standings.
"I love that I can put any of swimmers in a pressure situation and through and through, they continue to deal huge swims," said Greyhound coach Tom Miazga. "We fed off each other's energy throughout the night, and again, our team chemistry was infectious. New Berlin Eisenhower has some fantastic talent on their team; they had an incredible meet. Knowing the meet came down to a few close finishes is setting us up to have a fantastic dual meet and even more exciting conference meet (later this month)."
Meanwhile, Brown Deer/USM coach Bob Van Lieshout can only ask "What if?" He had entered the meet with the very real idea that with a few breaks his fast-rising and youthful team could pull a massive upset and sneak away with the title.
But injuries and luck were not on the FalconCats' side and they had to settle for a fifth-place showing.» Read Full Article
Homestead still controls its own fate in NSC football race
Hazarding a guess on how the North Shore Conference football race will play out with three games to go is a fool's game at best right now.
Because Whitefish Bay (4-0, 5-1); Homestead (3-1, 4-2); Cedarburg (3-1, 5-1) and Germantown (3-1, 4-2) all control their own destiny.
The race will complicate quickly in the coming weeks as key games include Cedarburg at Germantown on Friday, Oct. 2; Homestead at Bay on Friday, Oct. 9 and Cedarburg at Homestead in the finale on Friday, Oct. 16.
Homestead coach Dave Keel, whose team cruised to a 49-0 victory over Port Washington on Sept. 25, knows that his Highlanders' chances of at least a share of a 15th straight North Shore Conference title hinge on a lot of things and, as noted, they still have a lot of say in how it will look in the end.
"Every day the goal remains the same, to get better," he said. "There are some nice games down the road to look at and think about, but everything right now runs through Bay."» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay soccer team runs win streak to 9 with rout of East
In only his second game back with the team, sophomore forward Matthew Comiskey has made a huge impression on the Division No. 1-ranked Whitefish Bay boys soccer team.
With deft moves and great speed Sept. 24, he scored three goals and had two assists in the Blue Dukes' impressive 5-1 nonconference win against host Wauwatosa East.
"He was on fire tonight," said coach Jeff Worzella. "He's fantastic. That was easily the best game of his high school career."
There was a suspension issue that forced Comiskey to miss the first 10 games of the season but now he is back with a vengeance.
In just a short time, Comiskey, who lettered last season as a freshman for the North Shore Conference champions and WIAA sectional finalists, has become a key cog in what Worzella calls "a very dynamic" offense.» Read Full Article
Parkway Elementary School hosts Color Run to benefit all-inclusive playground
Glendale — There are slides and monkey bars and climbing stairs at the playground at Parkway Elementary School, but a group of parents have decided there needs to be more than that.
Many of these things will remain a part of the playground at the school when it is reconstructed, with one very important feature: it will be all-inclusive and fully accessible.
"We have lots of students who really can't enjoy the playground as it is now," said parent Sara Strunk. "There is so much more the space can offer to our wheelchair bound students or our friends on the autism spectrum, so we're really trying to look ahead and create a place where everybody can play together."
To raise funds for the new playground, estimated at about $200,000, the school has organized the first-ever "My School Color Run" on the North Shore on Saturday, Oct. 10.
At a cost of $35 per individual or $45 on race day, the run will feature a 3.1-mile route that incorporates color splash zones where Parkway teachers will be stationed to douse runners in color.» Read Full Article

For many years, American schools commonly practiced what is called "social promotion," the advancement of struggling students from one grade level to the next with the intent of keeping children in the same peer group, in the hopes that students would reach grade-level achievement levels in a subsequent school year. However, as a part of states' standards, assessment and accountability initiatives starting in the mid-1990s, states and districts began to implement bans on social promotion, intending to keep children in the same grade level until they could demonstrate mastery of grade-level skills and knowledge. While at first glance a reasonable means of assuring that students gain grade-level proficiency, a number of research studies have indicated that neither retention nor social promotion positively influence students.
Practices such as looping (in which students remain with the same teacher and classmates for more than one academic year), smaller class size and multi-age classrooms also have been proposed as means to help teachers identify struggling children and provide them with individualized instruction. However, the success of these latter three approaches indisputedly rests on teacher quality; students in a small class or spending multiple years with an ineffective teacher will not make adequate progress toward grade-level proficiency.

new to the forums and new to red hat, got a question though, after the grub boot loader isnt red hat suppose to boot into a gui login? all i get is a text based login, and when i do login i get the terminal and not the interface. any ideas why im not booting into the interface?
Whether or not it boots to a graphical or text login depends on how you have your system configured.
You change the runlevel you boot into by editing the file /etc/inittab.
Look for the line: id:*:initdefault:
The * will be a number.
Change the * to one of these two values.
3 - boot to console mode
5 - boot directly in X11
Also can you start X from the shell prompt?
After you login, at the shell prompt type: startx
Make sure X works before editing /etc/inittab to boot runlevel 5.

A bill rejecting the enforcement of key provisions of ObamaCare passed another hurdle in the South Carolina state House of Representatives last Thursday. The bill — HB 3101 — was approved by a party-line vote (65-34) and will now move to its third and final reading. Passage of the measure after that reading is described by local media as "perfunctory."
This is good news for citizens of the Palmetto State — along with all their fellow citizens in other states — whose livelihoods are threatened by President Obama's pet healthcare overhaul passed in 2010 and upheld last year by the Supreme Court.
Although passage of the bill by the South Carolina state legislature is laudable and is a positive move toward resisting the tyranny of the federal government, the bill as passed last week is markedly weaker than the bill as originally drafted.
For example, while the original bill was an outright nullification of ObamaCare, imposing criminal penalties on anyone who attempted to enforce its provisions within the sovereign borders of South Carolina, in its current iteration the bill voids only those parts of the ObamaCare act that the state deems "unconstitutional."
Furthermore, rather than allowing state officials to hold anyone — including federal agents — accountable for participating in the application of the ObamaCare mandates to citizens of South Carolina, in its present form, the prohibitions apply only to state employees.
Section 1-7-180 of the bill — officially styled the South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act — does empower the state Attorney General to protect the state from any attempt to harm the state by enforcing ObamaCare. The section reads:

The photo was apparently taken on September 26 in the city of Xi'an. A figure that looks like Jobs, complete with his iconic pose and black sweater, is visible in the back of a flatbed.
Online in China, the photo has caused a flurry of responses. "Jobs has resurrected," wrote one net user. "Please do something about the iOS maps," wrote another.
There are not many details about the actual photo, and it could be clever Photoshop (like this), another wax figure, or maybe, just maybe, Steve Jobs has returned to, you know, fix iOS6 maps. They're so awful!
Update: As VR-Zone (via reader Orionsangel) points out, the Jobs riding the truck looks like another wax statue (not the Madame Tussauds one) spotted in China. Maybe it can fix the iOS maps... Sure couldn't make 'em worse.

One of the images from Marc by Marc Jacobs' Fall 2014 campaign.
Photo: Marc Jacobs Intl Facebook
Real people subbing for models was one of the big trends of New York Fashion Week for Fall 2014 but Marc by Marc Jacobs is taking that concept to a whole new level with their new campaign. Instead of casting professionals, the brand hosted an open call on Instagram and Twitter, inviting regular people like you and me to submit their best headshot tagged with #CastMeMarc for a chance to appear in the next run of ads. The next time someone tells you social media is a waste of time, just refer to this campaign, which has now transformed the lives of nine people who were plucked from the internet to model for Marc Jacobs.
