Deploying Flex iOS7 applications on the App Store
If you did not know already, Apache Flex is a technology (a software development kit or SDK) used to build, and deploy cross-platform mobile applications or rich Internet applications (RIA). The technology has been donated to Apache in 2011, but still uses Adobe AIR or Flash Player as runtime. For many years, Adobe has been doing a great job of keeping its runtimes compatible with Apple's guidelines and requirements.
A recent problem
In the past weeks, Apple announced that "Starting February 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5 and iOS 7 SDK." Could this really mean the death of Flex applications for iOS?
The solution
Fortunately, Adobe released a fix that is currently available through the latest beta release of Adobe AIR. So if you plan to publish on the App Store soon, you should re-run the Apache Flex SDK Installer, and where the installer asks you to select an AIR version, just select AIR 4.0beta. Proceed with the installation, and that's it! Now build your app as you have always done, and enjoy the power cross-platform development!
Source: Building Apache Flex apps for iOS7
Update (March 2nd, 2014)
Please note that Adobe just changed the AIR versioning from 4.0 to 13.0 to synchronize it with Flash Player. When running the Apache Flex SDK installer, select the latest AIR version: AIR 13.0beta.
Ubuntu: Activate multi-touch on Elantech touchpad
If like me you recently bought a new computer with an Elantech touchpad, and installed Ubuntu on it, chances are your touchpad lacks the multitouch features, and therefore, you can't scroll with it. This is extremely annoying to most of us. Tonight, I went back to Ubuntu bug page to realize someone has submitted a fix, and it seems to be working for many users. Just tried it on my Acer Aspire S7, and it worked perfectly for me too. So let me share it with you...
First, if you aren't sure your computer was built with an Elantech touchpad, open a terminal, and type the following:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
You should find a block containing a line looking like this one, which confirms you are on an Elantech touchpad:
N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
Download this archive (from Ubuntu's bug reporting page).
Open a terminal, and follow these steps (after step 4, you will have no mouse at all):
cd ~/Downloads sudo dkms ldtarball psmouse-elantech-x551c.tar.gz sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-x551c sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse
Enjoy multitouch!

Installing Apache Flex SDK under Linux
Recently, the Apache Flex team released the latest version of Flex SDK: 4.10. This release came with a Linux installer for the first time since Adobe Flex Builder 3 alpha, several years ago. As a member of their user mailing list, I take part in certain discussions, often on the Linux support subject. It seems that users have difficulty installing the Flex SDK, even with the .deb (Debian software package) available on Apache Flex's website. Taken from those discussions, here's the easy way to install the Apache Flex SDK under Linux.
AIR dependency
Flex SDK is best installed using the SDK Installer, which requires Adobe AIR 2.6. If you didn't already know, installing Adobe AIR on Linux isn't that easy, as it is not supported by Adobe anymore. The easiest way I have found is this one:
- If you're using a 64-bit Linux system, install the ia32-libs (AIR is 32-bit only):
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
- Go here (http://update.devolo.com/linux/apt/pool/main/a/adobeair/) and download the AIR installer for 64-bit systems (amd64) or 32-bit (i386)
- Install the package you just downloaded:
sudo dpkg -i adobeair_188.8.131.5270_amd64.deb
You're done with the installation of Adobe AIR.
Installing the SDK Installer
- Download the installer (.deb) here: http://flex.apache.org/installer.html
- Once you have downloaded the .deb, install it using dpkg (this command will force the installation, even if the AIR dependency is not resolved):
sudo dpkg -i --force-depends apache-flex-sdk-installer-2.6.0-bin.deb
- Once the installer has been installed (you might encounter several warnings and errors, just ignored them), open a terminal and go the installation folder:
cd "/opt/Apache Flex/Apache Flex SDK Installer/bin"
- Run the installer:
./Apache\ Flex\ SDK\ Installer
- Now you just need to decide where you want the SDK to be installed, and you're good. Everything should go smoothly.
Uninstalling the SDK Installer
I really suggest that you uninstall the SDK Installer (but not the SDK, of course!) when you're done, because it will cause you all sorts of errors with apt-get in the future. Errors that look like this:
org.apache.flex.installapacheflex:i386 : PreDepends: adobeair:i386 (>= 1:184.108.40.206) but it is not installable E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
This can be done very easily with the following command:
sudo apt-get -f install
As always, feel free to ask any question you might have, I'll do my best to answer them. Have fun developing with Apache Flex and Linux!
Installing a Transmission Daemon on Ubuntu
Let's say you have a computer (could be your home file server) on which you want to install a torrent client as daemon (command line), and manage it through a Web interface. Would be great, right? It's pretty easy to achieve but there are a couple of details you need to pay attention to.
Note: This tutorial was written for Ubuntu Server 12.04 but it doesn't mean it can't be useful for other versions or distros.
Required packages
It's pretty simple as only a couple of packages need to be installed, and they are already in the repositories. For readability, I'm putting each of them on a different line, but they should all go on the same.
sudo apt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon
Create folders for Transmission
Even if you could always use the default folders, I like keeping track of everything, the way I want it. So here's what I've done. I think the folder names talk by themselves.
sudo mkdir ~/transmission sudo mkdir ~/transmission/complete sudo mkdir ~/transmission/downloading sudo mkdir ~/transmission/torrents
This step isn't crucial, but it will save you lots of "sudo" commands in the future. By default, Transmission always gives downloaded files permissions to the transmission group (debian-transmission to be more precise). This is why adding your user to this group could be a good idea. Make sure your replace your_user in the following commands:
sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission your_user
Now you need to set the correct ownership and permissions:
sudo chown -R your_user:debian-transmission ~/transmission sudo chmod -R 755 ~/transmission
A good configuration file
Now this part is very important. The configuration file must be filled correctly or else you might not be able to access Transmission's web interface. Many other things could also "go wrong". But don't worry, you can edit this file anytime in the future to fix any problem you might encounter.
First thing to do is to stop the daemon. If you don't, the configuration file will be overridden when Transmission closes the next time.
sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
Use any text editor (I use Nano here) to edit the configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
You will find all possible settings here: official Transmission wiki.
When you're done, restart the daemon.
sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
Configuration file example
Here's an example of what I have added or changed from the default configuration file. Don't forget to change your_favorite_list_url and your_user in the following example.
"blocklist-enabled": true, "blocklist-updates-enabled": true, "blocklist-url": "your_favorite_list_url", "download-dir": "/home/your_user/transmission/complete", "incomplete-dir-enabled": true, "incomplete-dir": "/home/your_user/transmission/downloading", "rpc-authentication-required": false, "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false, "watch-dir-enabled": true, "watch-dir": "/home/your_user/transmission/torrents"
Make sure there's a comma at the end of each line, except for the last one. The last entry (watch-dir), means every torrent file your copy in that folder will be automatically added by Transmission. Download should start only seconds after that.
Port forwarding
For optimal performance in both download and upload, it is recommended to open/forward Transmission's default port, 51413. To do that, you will need to access your router's from your favorite Web browser (usually at http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1). If you need help passed that point, I suggest googling for something like "your_router_model port forwarding". You should find plenty of information.
Access Transmission WebUI
Now that you have stopped the daemon, edited settings.json, and restarted the daemon, you should be able to access the Web interface. Simply navigate to your server/computer's IP and port 9091 (can be changed in settings.json if it doesn't suit your needs), which should look something like: http://192.168.1.101:9091.
Last step: show your girlfriend how to add new torrents using WebUI. 😉
Playing Diablo 3 on Ubuntu Made Very Easy!
After trying to install Diablo 3 on my Hackintosh from and original DVD an failing (it installed fine but the game won't start), I decided to look for an Ubuntu solution. This is when I learned about PlayOnLinux, a Wine graphic user interface that makes installation of Windows programs very easy. So here's a VERY EASY guide to install Diablo 3 on Ubuntu with online installation files.
- Make sure your game is correctly registered in your Battle.net account
- Download the Diable 3 Game Client (for Windows) from that same account
- Open the Ubuntu Software Center
- Search for PlayOnLinux and install it (this might take a while)
- Start PlayOnLinux, and complete the basic configuration steps (mostly automatic)
- Click on the Install button, and select the Testing category in the menu on the left
- Select Diablo 3, click install, and follow the instructions
- Complete the download/install process
- You're done! Enjoy Diablo 3 on Ubuntu!
Note: I had a little resolution glitch when first started the game. Changing the resolution from the login screen inside the game fixed it.
Other note: the guys at PlayOnLinux say they will support the DVD install method soon.
If you're using Ubuntu 12.04, and experience the connection error #3007 over and over, here's a solution that seems to work. Before connection, open a terminal and type this command:
echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
This solution comes from that thread in PlayOnLinux forums. Please let us know if it works for you or not.
Installing Dictionaries in LibreOffice – Ubuntu 12.04
You just installed or updated to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), and now you realize you need correction tools for a language that didn't come by default? Follow these very simple steps, and you'll be ready to go in a matter of minutes.
Make sure you have sudo access
First, you need to make sure you have administrator (sudo) rights on your system (which you most probably have if you installed it yourself). If you are not sure you have sudo access on your system, try the following:
- Open a terminal (can be done from the Dash Home menu)
- Type the command written below (it updates APT's local package index and is totally inoffensive)
- The command will ask for the sudo password, enter your usual password
- If you have sudo access, you should see a list of package update URLs go through the terminal window
- If you don't have access, find who does! (sorry, we can't really help you here)
sudo apt-get update
Install dictionary packages
Two packages must be installed. The first is the dictionary itself, the second will add correct hyphenation patterns to LibreOffice's corrector. Examples here are for French, but you only need to change the last part (fr) for the language of your choice. For example: sp for Spanish, or de for German.
sudo apt-get install myspell-fr sudo apt-get install hyphen-fr
Thesaurus (synonyms and antonyms) for your language
If you are interested in having thesaurus features for your newly installed language, you only need to install one package:
sudo apt-get install mythes-fr
The shortcut to access thesaurus in LibreOffice is CTRL+F7.
Change the default language for all documents
Now that you have installed a new dictionary (and maybe more correction tools), you probably want to change the default language/dictionary for new documents you will create. Here's how to do that:
- Open Writer
- From the top menu go to: Tools / Options. A new windows will open
- In the left menu of this new window, go to: Language Settings / Languages
- Look for Default languages for documents, and just under it, choose your preferred language
- Take a look at the other options above if you want to
- Close the Options windows
- You should see the language you have just selected at the center-left of Writer's bottom toolbar
Tips to Strong Passwords for Improved Privacy
Many people think the strongest passwords are those made of special/foreign characters such as É, &, * or ¿. A password looking like g&J2!3aQ must be pretty strong right? What about taking a dictionary word, and replacing letters with numbers, for example, 0r4ng3? Well, these two examples aren't THAT strong.
For a human being without automated tools, the first one is kinda hard to break, and the second one is a bit easier. For a specialized bot though, it's almost as easy as breaking 87654321. Many algorithms exist to help dishonest people break into your email, bank Web access, or social media accounts. I'm sure all of you will want to prevent that. Following are my personal advices for safer passwords (or pass phrases). Some are based on computer science facts, and others on real experiences from friends, and myself. They can't be taken as the ultimate truth, but will help you achieve better safety for your multiple on-line accounts.
Don't use the same password twice
Imagine you are on a public computer signing in to some irrelevant website, let's say to leave a comment on a forum, and someone sees what you are typing: your email address (which is often used as username), and your password. He can now access your email account if it is protected by the same password. From there, he can do almost anything because he'll be able to use the "retrieve your password" feature of all other websites you have an account on.
Prefer a long phrase to a complicated short password
As illustrated in this image, the longer the password, the better. More than that, you can choose it so it's easier for you to remember. "I lost my favorite green shoe" (if it means something to you), is much easier to remember than uJ@ggC9K!.
Some miscellaneous tips for short passwords
If a site limits you to a short password (10 or 12 characters for example), here are some easy tips you can follow :
- Don't use dictionary words or people/place names, even with numbers at the beginning or end, this is the first thing password crackers will try
- Same thing with replacing letters with "matching" numbers: m4st3r, those are broken easily
- Find something easy to remember so you don't have to write it down, for example : 1994 with "turtles" (the year you bought your favorite turtles): 1tURt99Les4
- You might wanna use a more complex combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, and also numbers to make it hard to break for humans
Don't change your password for no reason
If your account hasn't been compromised, and if you don't have a good reason to change your password, don't change it. You risk forgetting it or maybe not choosing a password as strong as your first one. Remember, it hasn't been cracked yet! 😉
Please, I'm sure some of you readers will have more tips, and maybe discredit mine, who knows. Feel free to leave your comments.
Free Unity 3 "basic" License
Last year I talked a bit about some of my augmented reality projects. Many of you have sent questions and posted comments so I suppose there is a certain level of interest in that field. One of the conclusions I had back then was that to achieve a certain level of quality (great lighting effects, surface reflection, etc.) when rendering a 3D model in an augmented reality project, you better use a good 3D engine (such as Unity). I still think this is true.
Yesterday I "discovered" that Unity is offering its iOS and Android "basic" license for free until April 8th. Normally, you'd have to pay $400 for each of them. So if you were unsure Unity was a good choice for your project of not, go ahead and buy it for free. 😉 What a great way to finally test it out.
- Go to https://store.unity3d.com/index.html
- Select Unity FREE
- Add features: iOS and Android (both free until April 8th)
- Proceed to checkout
- Open email upon reception, and follow the instructions
Now enjoy your brand new installed Unity development tools!

PROVIDENCE — Coventry junior three-sport athlete Alex Zannella is a winner.
No, Zannella isn't a winner in the clichéd, metaphorical sense of the term. The Oaker is a winner because he's a talented athlete, who works hard and frequently finds himself playing with like-minded players.
Whether it be on the baseball diamond, the football field or the hockey ice, Zannella's teams have usually been successful and he is usually one of the big reasons for that success.
Saturday afternoon at Schneider Arena, Zannella and the Coventry hockey team won the Division II title by beating Portsmouth 4-2 to clinch the series 2-0. It was the first title victory of Zannella's high-school career, but it's not his first scholastic athletic title.
When Zannella was an eighth-grader at Feinstein Middle School, the school's baseball team beat Lincoln 1-0 in June of 2008 to claim the RIPCOA state title. While Zannella wasn't the star of the that team – current Hendricken standout Richard Bacon was the leader of the team - Zannella was a key cog playing second base and hitting at the top of the order.
"Playing baseball, playing football, playing hockey, it's all the same," Zannella said. "You're always looking to win a state championship. That one in eighth grade was special and it was a special group of guys. We have a special group of guys here who play collectively as a group.
"Compared to the one at McCarthy (Stadium) this is one may be a little bit higher because it's higher stakes and a lot more people are watching. But it's very, very similar."
Zannella, who was a defensive back on the Oakers' 2010 Division II-B football title team that went all the way to the Division II semifinals, was Coventry's top scoring defenseman while at the same time covering the other team's most dangerous attackers.
In the state championship series Zannella's job was to slow down Portsmouth's fastest forwards, Matt Abraham and Aaron Towers. But that's nothing new for a player who, as a freshman, was forced to compete against some of the best forwards in the state like Ponaganset's Derek Rogala and Smithfield's Colby Fugere.
"It's very tough," Zannella said about facing every team's top guns. "I remember freshman year playing Ponaganset and they had Rogala and all those guys. I kind of take it as a personal challenge to go up against those guys. I like going up against those guys because they're unpredictable, they don't always do the same thing."
The junior, who scored 21 points this season and committed just six penalties, teamed with sophomore Matt Tanksley to slow down Abraham and Towers during the series. Neither forward had a sniff at net during the first two periods, but Abraham did score a goal early in the third after a Coventry defensive error.
Zannella doesn't have much time to enjoy the fruits of his labor because starting Monday he will trade his skates for a pair of cleats and a glove. Zannella is the starting second baseman for the Coventry baseball team, a role he's had since his freshman season.
Coventry hasn't had much success on the baseball field in the last two seasons, going just 9-27 in Division I-West. But, with the nucleus of that 2008 Feinstein title team now playing a big part on Coach Leo Bush's squad, the Oakers could make some noise in Division I-South.
Perfect Patti
Senior goalie Spencer Patti suffered along with his teammates when they lost to Cumberland in the semifinals last season. The difference between Patti and the rest of the Oakers is that he didn't play because then-senior Mitchell Beck started between the pipes in both playoff games.
Patti finally got his chance to start a playoff game this season and he made the most of it. The senior netminder went 6-0 in the playoffs with a goals against average of just 1.5 after allowing just nine goals in six playoff games. The senior picked up one shutout and never allowed more than two goals in any playoff game.
"Big-game situations helped me get focused," Patti said. "I use that."
Super sophomores
Seniors Nick Paiva, Patti, Connor Forsythe and Zach Faria along with juniors Zannella, Conner DiPetro, Zach Levesque and Peter Stringfellow were the biggest reasons the Oakers won their first Division II title since 2003.
But Coventry wouldn't have won the title if a bunch of sophomores hadn't grown up so quickly.
"We have nine sophomores on this team that have been working out since September and also playing in their leagues," Coventry coach Ken Bird said. "That paid big benefits out on the ice. … I think the strength of our team was our depth. We play a lot of people and having nine sophomores out their playing making a major contribution to a state championship.
"They're all ahead of schedule as athletes. Usually it's the juniors that hit the ice all the time, but we also have all those kids hitting the ice and that gives us our depth."
Brian Skorski was the most visible sophomore in Saturday's title game. The forward scored the first goal of the game and he assisted on Paiva's second goal early in the third period when his pass allowed the senior to skate in on a breakaway.
But there were plenty of other sophomores who played big roles in the title run. Corey Rogers scored eight points in the playoffs, while sophomore defenseman Zach Cooney played a perfect pass to Paiva for the game-winning goal early in the second period.
Tanksley teamed with Zannella to form a formidable defensive partnership, while Zach Allen, Jacob Harrington, Michael Pesola and Joseph Stringfellow were major contributors to a team that scored 109 goals in 24 Division II games this season.
"Last year we only ran really two strong lines and the third line was kind of weak," Forsythe said. "This year, I had two sophomores on my line and then the next line was all sophomores and they're like our energy line."
By the numbers
Coventry played 277 minutes and 13 seconds of playoff hockey and they trailed for just 3:50. The Oakers were ahead during the playoffs for 132:06. Their toughest series was against Prout; Coventry led for just 16:52 of the semifinal series and trailed for 3:52. The Oakers dominated Portsmouth, leading 48:37 of the 90-minute series. … While Patti saved 129 of the 138 shots he saw in the playoffs, Patti's opposition in net managed to stop just 148 of the 168 Oaker shots. … Sixteen Oakers scored at least a point during the six-game playoff run. Pesola, who had a breakout playoff-performance, scored four goals and four assists, while DiPetro led the team with five goals and also had eight points. Paiva, the tournament MVP, had four goals and three assists. Forsythe (three goals, one assist), Rogers (one goal, three assists) and Levesque (four assists) all had four points. Tanksley, Cooney, Stringfellow and Skorski all had two points. Faria, Zannella, Allen, Harrington, Seamus Fennelly and Patti each registered a point.

A Wood County man faces a sex abuse charge involving a young girl, but this isn't the first time he's been in trouble.
Deputies say Jason Alfstad was in contact with a 12 year old girl on Facebook.
They say last week he picked her up and took her to his home, gave her alcohol and had sex.
He's charged with third degree sexual assault. His bond was set at 120 thousand dollars.
If found guilty, he could face one to five years, but deputies say more charges are pending.
This isn't the first time Alfstad's been accused of having sex with minors.
Back in March of 2008, he was charged and found not guilty of three other sexual abuse charges including allegedly raping a four year old girl.

Well done, Doug
Bravo to Doug MacGregor for his editorial cartoon Sunday. In several ways, he succinctly capsulated the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the George W. Bush years as president. Indeed, the most glaring of which was the justification for America's invasion of Iraq. The single, lone rationale for war was to locate and eliminate Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction, which did not exist. Then Secretary of State Colin Powell was subsequently strong-armed by the Bush administration into pleading the mistaken case for military action to the United Nations.

|Risk of congenital anomalies in pregnant users of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: A nested case-control study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16929547 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Many women take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during pregnancy but the risks for the infant remain controversial. We carried out a study to quantify the association between those women prescribed NSAIDs in early pregnancy and congenital anomalies. METHODS: A population-based pregnancy registry was built by linking data from three administrative databases in Quebec between 1997-2003. The inclusion criteria were mothers of live singleton infants, between 15-45 years of age, covered by the RAMQ drug plan > or =12 months before and during pregnancy, and prescribed an NSAID or other medications during pregnancy. We selected as cases infants with any congenital anomaly (ICD-9; 740-759) diagnosed in the first year of life. Up to 10 controls, defined as infants with no congenital anomalies detected were selected for each case. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. RESULTS: Within the registry, 36,387 pregnant women met the inclusion criteria. We identified 93 births with congenital anomalies in 1056 women (8.8%) who filled prescriptions for NSAIDs in the first trimester of pregnancy, compared to 2478 in 35,331 (7%) women who did not. The adjusted OR for any congenital anomalies for women who filled a prescription for NSAIDs in the first trimester was 2.21 (95% CI = 1.72-2.85). The adjusted OR for the anomalies related to cardiac septal closure was 3.34 (95% CI = 1.87-5.98). There were no significant associations with anomalies of other major organ systems. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that women prescribed NSAIDs during early pregnancy may be at a greater risk of having children with congenital anomalies, specifically cardiac septal defects.

Hasn't time has flown? Is it now five years ago that the New York, Hip-Hop artist called Nas controversially proclaimed that 'Hip-Hop was Dead'? Back in 2006,Nas bought forth an album that was titled "Hip-Hop is dead" which generated numerous column inches within many music magazines across the world.
In a number of Interviews that Nas took part in towards the ending of 2006. Nas mentioned those now famous 3 words.
In one of the first Interviews that took place with those words being mentioned was with the British Hip-Hop Dj and Radio music presenter called Tim Westwood. Nas explained within that interview that, "Hip-Hop is dead because we as artists no longer have the power".
Also within another Interview that he attended, and this time it was with the MTV organistation. The date being 10th October 2006. Nas added here that, "When I say 'hip-hop is dead,' basically America is dead," he clarified. "There is no political voice. Music is dead. B2K is not New Edition. Chris Brown is great, I love Chris Brown, we need that, but Bobby Brown sticks in my heart. Our way of thinking is dead, our commerce is dead. Everything in this society has been done. It's like a slingshot, where you throw the mutha----a back and it starts losing speed and is about to fall down. That's where we are as a country.
"I don't wanna lose nobody with this, but what I mean by 'hip-hop is dead' is we're at a vulnerable state," he continued. "If we don't change, we gonna disappear like Rome. Let's break it down to a smaller situation. Hip-hop is Rome for the 'hood. I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop. ... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers."
Please read the whole interview via going to this website link - MTV Interview with Nas - 10th Oct 2006
As soon as those interview statements and album title went national within the USA. A number of other Hip-Hop artists had their own views on what Nashad said.
For instance, Ludricris a multi-million selling, Hip-Hop artist in his own right disagreed with Nas. In fact Ludacris wore a T-shirt that said, "Hip-Hop Ain't Dead, It Lives in the South," while performing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in November 12, 2006 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, Usa.
Ludricris went on to add, "I don't feel that hip-hop is dead. I feel like the South is keeping it alive. What we do is hip-hop. Some people may not feel that way. You gotta respect some people's opinion, but hey. You gotta stay to your opinion in the game."
"Ludricris is saying hip-hop is dead is basically "dissin' the South.
"Because the South is dominating it right now," Cris further explained. "Saying that hip-hop is dead is like saying the South is dead too. They may not like some of the music going on in the South. But everybody in the South is saying, 'We are keeping it alive.' ... At the end of the day, hip-hop is what you make it. What we do in the South isn't hip-hop — that's what some people think. We think it is. Some people say it's country-rap tunes. Hip-hop is what you make it."
Please go to this to read the whole interview and other comments made by other Southern Hip-Hop Artists.
Please CLICK ON THIS WEBSITE LINK:Ludricris reply - 2006
However, by mentioning the slogan on his album NAS did have a number of supporters agreeing with him.
In an article called once again "Is Hip Hop dead" by Walter Dawkins to be found via this website link - Walter Dawkins - Is Hip Hop Dead Article
The article features Hip Hop music fans of the like of Kevin Powell, former Vibe magazine senior writer and editor of "Who Shot Ya? Three Decades of Hip-Hop Photography saying, "If you were a young black male growing up then, you could aspire to be Chuck D, or Big Daddy Kane, or Too Short, or Doug E. Fresh. You had choices. That doesn't exist anymore."
Now whoever you think is right or wrong from above. Please fast forward to the present day (2011) and the some of the same statements and observations mentioned above can arguably be applied to modern day, so called Soul versions of modern day R&B music too. Today's music industry has found a formular which sees it increasingly pumping out a new hybrid of music which takes in Electronica/Pop/Dance/Rnb fusion. This seems to favour the Pop market, which means the future (or lack thereof) of R&B music as we've known seems under pressure.
R&B music in its truest form arrived in the late 1940's. The music saw its journey to mainstream really pick up in the middle to late 1960's with the Motown, Staxx and Brunswick record labels.
However when the decade of 1970's had reached us the music exploded even further with successful R&B/Soul acts such as Stevie Wonder, Stylistics, Chilites, Delfonics, Minnie Riperton, Isley Brothers, The Jacksons, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass and others opening the door fully wide open for everyone. However through the likes of Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, George Benson, Sade, Atlantic Star, Cameo, Change continued the trend in the 1980's
In the 1990's the trend continued which showed no signs of stopping. The massive boom and popularity of the music made this period of RNB reach its altimate zinth peak; which saw it dominating the USA AND UK Pop charts. But then again this all depends on what decade of music that you enjoyed the most for Rnb music in regards to what you consider its best period.
The names and acts that comes to mind from that period are Lauryn Hill, TLC, Mary J. Bilge, Boyz II Men, R Kelly, Jodeci, SWV and Toni Braxton, to name but a few, who speak volumes.
Sounds, very impressive doesn't it? No needs to panic you are wondering? So whats the fuss then? Well, there is some fuss about it. Despite the dizzy heights from what ever decade that you enjoyed the most musically. The music of R&B today no longer occupies its once-pole position in the charts.
If you want evidence, then look no further than the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Charts (USA), where songs topping the chart often struggle to make any impact on the all-inclusive Billboard Hot 100 (USA).
The question is - If the format is truly in decline, then what has happened to the Soulful modern day version of R&B music that it has come to this?
On the surface the fusing of modern day R&B with other genres such as Pop and Dance/Electronica has been seen as a positive thing in regards to Pop music. Yet,the Soulful side R&B and Urban music in general (*amongst it fans anyway), seem not to have benefited at all.
For, while both the Pop and Dance genres have benefitted largely from this fusion with modern day R&B music, they have also managed to remain successful genres in their own right. However, modern day, Soulful R&B music, unfortunately, has not. In today's world for new or established acts to release 'pure R&B' and anticipate any chart success seems like a long gone dream.
Yes, there are exceptions such as Modern Day R&B legends such as Usher, Maxwell and Sade, whom all three have enjoyed, critical and commercial success, in releasing music with their trademark (R&B) sound. However, there could be more leniency given to the fact that the hype surrounding their comebacks allowed them to achieve these high sales figures.
RNB music gradual move to a more Pop-dominated sound seems to have backfired. What used to be seen as a quality-rich type of music seems to have been replaced with what has caused other forms music in the past (*in the public eyes) to not be taken seriously – the idea of image over substance.
No longer are the vocals of these Pop/Electronic/Rnb fused artists inspiring future generations to the priority of labels. Instead, we now have models posing as singers topping the charts.
Even giants within the music of modern day Rnb music such as Beyonce, whose first album was just an all out R&B affair, has moved further away from the traditional R&B sound; and taking in this Pop/Electronica sound as her now staple sound. Even guiltier of this then Beyonce is the modern day so called R&B superstar that is Rhianna.
She who seems to have embraced this sound all the way and with no end in stopping.
The idea of modern day and soulful side of R&B music being dead may be a bit alarmist. However, it is not all doom and gloom. As always its normally the underground where the knight in shining armour comes to rescue for the music. Some unheard of and new soulful/rnb musical knight has in the past, but has is it different this time? Has he or she left it too late?What do you think? Please give me your thoughts.
Since this article has been written. We have since produced another one. Please click on this link & have a read of the follow up - Click on this link - Rnb music is fighting back - 2014

I am a dog owner and a dog lover, but I am disturbed by the fact that the Brewster Dog Park Committee continues on its quest to find a location for a dog park after repeatedly being rejected from proposed sites.
The committee feels that Brewster "needs" a dog park because other Cape towns have them. My 7-year-old students can tell you that a "need" is something required for survival (e.g., food, clothing, shelter or education). The committee also justifies a Brewster location because Brewster has such amenities as golf courses, playgrounds and sports fields.
Brewster doesn't even have its own school system for K-12. It joined forces with neighboring towns to form Nauset Regional Schools. My children traveled an hour round trip to school every day because it was worth the time and effort to get a quality education.
Fairy tales are written to teach us moral lessons. If you recall the story of Cinderella, a character tries to squeeze an oversize foot into a delicate glass slipper, knowing it is not the right fit. Dog parks should not be squeezed into delicate, wooded, residential areas. They don't fit.

|Characterization and Preliminary Toxicity Assay of Nano-Titanium Dioxide Additive in Sugar-Coated Chewing Gum.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23065899 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Nanotechnology shows great potential for producing food with higher quality and better taste through including new additives, improving nutrient delivery, and using better packaging. However, lack of investigations on safety issues of nanofood has resulted in public fears. How to characterize engineered nanomaterials in food and assess the toxicity and health impact of nanofood remains a big challenge. Herein, a facile and highly reliable separation method of TiO(2) particles from food products (focusing on sugar-coated chewing gum) is reported, and the first comprehensive characterization study on food nanoparticles by multiple qualitative and quantitative methods is provided. The detailed information on nanoparticles in gum includes chemical composition, morphology, size distribution, crystalline phase, particle and mass concentration, surface charge, and aggregation state. Surprisingly, the results show that the number of food products containing nano-TiO(2) (<200 nm) is much larger than known, and consumers have already often been exposed to engineered nanoparticles in daily life. Over 93% of TiO(2) in gum is nano-TiO(2) , and it is unexpectedly easy to come out and be swallowed by a person who chews gum. Preliminary cytotoxicity assays show that the gum nano-TiO(2) particles are relatively safe for gastrointestinal cells within 24 h even at a concentration of 200 μg mL(-1) . This comprehensive study demonstrates accurate physicochemical property, exposure, and cytotoxicity information on engineered nanoparticles in food, which is a prerequisite for the successful safety assessment of nanofood products.

New Faculty Welcome Memo
TO: New UM-Dearborn Faculty
FROM: Career Services Staff
SUBJECT: Our Services
The Career Services staff welcomes you to the University of Michigan-Dearborn. As a partner of the Student Success Center, we endorse the total development of the student. To that end, our role of helping students to prepare for their life after their academic pursuits at the University of Michigan Dearborn is critical. Our mission is to increase the career management skills of our students and alumni while encouraging supportive interactions between our office, employers, university units, students and alumni.
Refer a Student for Services: To make good referrals, it is important to understand the nature of the services provided in Career Services. Career Services can help a student in all stages of the career planning and decision-making process. However, the assistance provided by career counselors is different from that provided by academic advisors.
Career counselors can help a student choose among educational and career options. Such career decisions may involve self-assessment activities and identifying resources that are useful in the decision-making process.
Career counselors are likely to be more useful in helping the student look at the big picture of his/her career, while an academic advisor would probably be more effective in helping the student select specific courses to achieve career goals and meet academic requirements.
Employment Opportunities for Students: Job postings for students are listed on the Career Services Web site. Some of the positions are off-campus and some are campus positions. University departments can submit their opportunities through our Web site for interested students to read. Students will then apply for the position by contacting the department representative directly. The off-campus job opportunities listed on our Web site are both part-time and full-time they range from jobs not requiring a degree to jobs requiring advanced degrees with experience.
Request Career Workshops: Dont Cancel That Class! UM-Dearborn faculty, staff, student organizations, and community groups may request a Career Services workshop. Career Services staff is available for presentations to campus groups (including classes and student organizations) and community organizations on a wide variety of career planning and job hunting topics, including; choosing a major or career, resume writing, interviewing techniques, job search strategies, workforce trends, as well as portfolios for business and liberal arts majors.
Requests should be made at least two weeks prior to the anticipated workshop date to assure availability. Workshops are designed to be 30-50 minutes long. Keep in mind that Career Services follows the academic calendar of University of Michigan-Dearborn and will be closed during school holidays and breaks.
Guides for Writing Reference Letters: Go to: www.naceweb.org/public/reference.htm
Individual Career Counseling:Career Services counselors are available to discuss career options, job search and interviewing techniques, review salary offers, and discuss career related concerns or issues.
Career Exploration and Planning: FOCUS is a computerized career and education planning program used to identify skills, abilities, career interests, and specific information regarding job categories. Exploratory Studies 102, Career Planning, is a one-credit hour course assisting students in utilizing strategies to chose a major, decide on a career, and practice effective job search strategies.
Job Search: Students and alumni are able to upload their resumes online, for employer direct referrals, view online job postings, and signup for campus interviews using the Internet. Related links to other web sites are also available. Campus interviews are held during the Fall and Winter semesters for our graduating students who are pursuing full-time employment.
Career Prep Week: The third week of September; students will have four ways to prepare for the 2-Day Career Week. The four days of preparation will include: (1) a networking with employers event as well as mock interviewing, (2) a resume writing critiquing event, (3) a job fair preparation workshop, and (4) an event on the importance of a professional image in the world of work. Check the Calendar of Events for details.
2-Day Career Week: Two days have been scheduled for career fairs for students and alumni during the last week of September. Employers attend to recruit candidates for full-time, part-time, and co-op positions. These career fairs are a perfect way for UM-Dearborn students to start their job campaigns. During the events, students distribute their resume, meet recruiters, investigate various careers, and hone their interviewing skills. There is also a one-day career fair for all majors scheduled in April.
The Career Services staff thanks you for taking the time to learn about our office. As you can see, we are dedicated to providing valuable programs and services to our University community. Please stop in and introduce yourself or contact us by phone or email. We welcome your comments and we would be happy to work together with you.

A little something I took to work last week as a vegetarian (not vegan) recipe. The protein comes from the dairy and I loaded it with a mix of mushrooms. Like any casserole, it was creamy, but this was also deeply mushroomy with a little crunch from the buttered bread crumbs on top. Of course it would normally be a side dish but it's exaclty the kind of thing that lays gently on my stomach for the middle of the night lunches and makes a wonderful entree on its own.
Colleen, I thought of you when I made this: no rind to peel or not peel!

Salman Rushdie blasts intelligent design
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 10/08/2005 @ 1:00 am In Front Page | Comments Disabled
Author Salman Rushdie, known to most for having been put under a fatwa by the late Ayatollah Khomeini that called for his death, blasted intelligent design proponents this week at Kansas University, telling his standing-room-only audience "superstition needs to be pushed back in the cupboard where it belongs."
Rushdie, speaking at the Lied Center at an event sponsored by the Hall Center for the Humanities, warned against religious extremism and the emergence of religion in matters of public policy, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.
"I would really love never to mention that word again: religion," Rushdie said. "But now it seems to be coming right at us all. I don't just mean radical Islam, by the way. I believe we have some problems right here."
The Kansas Board of Education is expected to vote later this year on new science standards that, if approved, will expose students to greater criticism of Darwinism. The move, pushed by a conservative majority on the state board, has drawn criticism from groups that endorse evolution and who describe intelligent design as a mere variant of creationism.
"I never had any doubts about evolution theory," he said. "I gather there are parts of Kansas where the big bang did not take place."
Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" earned him a death sentence in 1989 from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini for his depiction of Islam. That fatwa was lifted in 1998. For nine years, Rushdie went into hiding, often protected by bodyguards. At one point, a reward of $2 million was offered for his capture.
Rushdie told the Kansas audience he had fought against religion for most of his life, noting that when he was young, he and others thought they had won the battle and, so, quit paying attention.
We were "so busy having fun that all the uncool people took over the world," he said.
"It's a pretty bad time for us who don't believe that superstition should rule the world," he said.
He recommended "ridicule, argument and battle" to advance the fight against religion and push superstition back in the cupboard where it belongs.
