This flow chart was designed by the Community Foundation of Louisville to describe the process of evaluating, processing, and making impact investments in their community. It follows a similar model developed by the Greater Cincinnati Community Foundation, which is discussed in the Community Foundation Field Guide to Impact Investment.
Community Foundations
Community foundations are grantmaking public charities that are dedicated to improving the lives of people in a defined local geographic area. They bring together the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support effective nonprofits in their communities. Community foundations vary widely in asset size, ranging from less than $100,000 to more than $1.7 billion.
Community foundations play a key role in identifying and solving community problems. In 2011, they gave an estimated $4.3 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities in fields that included the arts and education, health and human services, the environment, and disaster relief. The Community Foundations National Standards Board confirms operational excellence in six key areas—mission, structure, and governance; resource development; stewardship and accountability; grantmaking and community leadership; donor relations; and communications. Foundations that comply with these standards can display the official National Standards Seal. Right now nearly 500 community foundations have earned the seal.
More than 750 community foundations operate in urban and rural areas in every state in the United States; currently, more than 570 belong to the Council on Foundations. The community foundation model also has taken hold around the world. According to the 2010 Community Foundation Global Status Report, there are 1,680 community foundations in 51 countries. Forty-six percent exist outside of the United States. You can use our Community Foundation Locator to view a list of community foundations in the United States.
Below is everything on our site for community foundations. We highly recommend that you use the navigation or our search feature to find what you're looking for on our site.
In 2009, Blue Shield of California Foundation learned of the increasingly high rates and devastating impacts of domestic violence among military families. Given the incredible stress these families had endured after more than a decade at war, the findings were difficult to hear, but not surprising. Thankfully, we were in a position to do more than just listen.
This Memorial Day takes on new significance for the philanthropic sector as we take our commitment to veterans and their families to another level.
The Orcas Island Community Foundation (OICF) is a small but mighty foundation. In 2011, with assets of $4 million spread across 70+ funds, we had outgrown our 'off the shelf' bookkeeping software, spending over half of our precious staff time on accounting. We struggled with finding right sized technology. Like Goldilocks, the existing programs just did not fit, being too cumbersome, too complicated, and far too expensive. Not a recipe for growth.
Civil Society in America faces the challenge of storytelling. Democracy thrives on the free availability of information and viewpoints. We must guard against hegemony that stifles innovation and protect voices of the marginalized. To do so, we should ensure that everyone's story is told.
A few weeks ago, we were happy to join several hundred of our colleagues in San Francisco for Hispanics in Philanthropy's (HIP) 2015 Conference and HIPGiver Gala. The daylong series of events focused on Latino leadership in the philanthropic sector, as well as exploring the needs and opportunities for investing in the Latino community.
Humble. If there were one word that ought to drive philanthropists, that's it. I am not saying it is always a word that does drive us. I am saying it ought to be.
It can be exciting and fulfilling to work in the world of philanthropy, to collaborate and work with generous people, smart and committed community leaders, and visionaries — to feel that your effort makes a positive difference in the world.
Low-income families typically have few options for emergency cash, forcing many to rely on high-cost payday loans for unexpected financial needs. But these loans, which are disproportionately marketed to low-income and minority communities, lead to repeated cash shortages that drive consumers to take out successive payday loans, trapping them in vicious cycles of debt.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Emily Kessler, the interim director of Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy. In this interview, Emily shares how she got her start in philanthropy and what she is hoping to do to help emerging professionals and increase the value of an EPIP membership.

Graham, Bezos hashed out Washington Post deal in Sun Valley
(Reuters) – Donald Graham, the chairman and CEO of The Washington Post Co, started talking to Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos less than a month before cinching a $250 million deal to sell the flagship newspaper to the tech entrepreneur.
"I asked him why he wanted to do it and his reasons are the best ones: he believes in what newspapers do and what the Post does and that it's important to the country," Graham said in a phone interview on Monday.
Amazon founder Bezos to buy the Washington Post
(Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos will buy the Washington Post newspaper for $250 million in a surprise deal that ends the Graham family's 80-year ownership and hands one of the country's most influential publications to the tech entrepreneur.
Bezos, hailed by many as a visionary who helped transform Internet retail, called his acquisition a personal endeavor and reassured Post employees and readers he will preserve the paper's journalistic tradition, while driving innovation.
New York Times sells Boston Globe to Red Sox owner
NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters) – The New York Times Co
has agreed to sell The Boston Globe to the principal owner of
the Boston Red Sox baseball team, John W. Henry, for $70 million
in cash, ending its 20-year ownership of the paper.
The transaction announced on Saturday includes the Worcester
Telegram & Gazette, related digital properties of both papers,
and a direct mail marketing company.
Viacom doubles buyback plan, posts 14 percent revenue jump
By Jennifer Saba and Liana B. Baker
(Reuters) – Viacom Inc reported a 14 percent rise in third-quarter revenue on Friday as the media company posted strong advertising and affiliate fees for its television shows and doubled its share repurchase program.
Shares of Viacom jumped 6.3 percent to $79.05.
The company, which owns cable networks MTV, Comedy Central and movie studio Paramount Pictures, expanded its share buyback program to $20 billion from $10 billion.
New York Times Co revenue slips on advertising decline
Aug 1 (Reuters) – New York Times Co reported on
Thursday that second-quarter revenue fell almost 1 percent as
gains in subscriptions to its flagship and other newspapers
could not offset declines in advertising.
But the company, which publishes its namesake newspaper, the
Boston Globe and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, also posted a
better-than-expected profit, and its shares rose 2 percent in
morning trading.
Thomson Reuters reaffirms outlook; Europe remains challenging
July 30 (Reuters) – Thomson Reuters on
Tuesday posted a 2 percent rise in second-quarter revenue on the
strength of its legal and tax and accounting businesses and
reaffirmed its forecast for 2013.
The global news and information company expects revenue to
grow in the low single digits for the year, and sees underlying
operating profit margin between 16.5 and 17.5 percent.
Sinclair to buy Allbritton TV stations for almost $1 billion
(Reuters) – Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc said it will acquire eight television stations from the Allbritton family for $985 million, the latest deal in a flurry of activity to buy local broadcasters.
Allbritton, which is also the publisher of Politico, has 9 ABC affiliated broadcast TV stations, including those that simulcast in markets throughout the United States, including Birmingham, Alabama, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. It also operates a 24-hour cable news network in Washington, D.C., considered the jewel of the portfolio.
Facebook offers the dummy's guide to mobile advertising
SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Facebook Inc's mobile advertising success offers a ray of hope for Internet companies trying to make money within the confines of the smartphone's small screen.
The social network's 75 percent surge in mobile ad revenue in a span of just three months not only doused skepticism on Wall Street and Madison Avenue about Facebook's business prospects, some say it could serve as a how-to guide for other Web companies navigating a world where the phone and tablet have fast become the screens of choice.
AOL to host 'upfront' for selling ads via electronic exchanges
(Reuters) – AOL Inc plans to host an "upfront" advertising event aimed at selling online ads through electronic exchanges, making a big bet that the buying and selling of ads will increasingly be handled by machines.
Known in the ad industry as "programmatic," electronic exchanges allow advertisers to bid on and place ads on a variety of websites – for example, on AOL's Huffington Post.
Time Inc getting new CEO ahead of magazine unit spinoff
By Liana B. Baker and Jennifer Saba
(Reuters) – Time Warner Inc (TWX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said it named a new chief executive to head its magazine titles People, Sports Illustrated and Time, which will soon be separated from the media conglomerate.
It tapped Joseph Ripp, a former Time Inc and AOL executive, to become CEO effective September.

text: I am posting in behalf of a guild member. He has a gold account. He had a mercenary, which he deleted with the intention of purchasing a new one. Something has gone wrong, however. Upon selecting Barbarian, Tier 3 (tank type) he has the "Hire" button showing. However, when this button is pressed he gets an edit message: "pending mercenary purchase" It seems that there are several ways to resolve this, but I cannot advise how to do any of them. 1) Find out what said purchase is and proceed with it. 2) Cancel said purchase with or without knowing what it is. Any help?.

2002 Mercury Villager • 110,000 miles
I have a 2002 Mercury Villager; the other day the airbag light started flashing on and off. When I start the car the light comes on solid then after about 5 seconds it starts flashing. There are no pauses in the flashing, just solid on and off (like a turn signal does).

I took it to the local repair shop and the put something under the dash to check on a code, and he said there was no code stored. Also, there is no code in the way the light blinks, it just goes on and off like a turn signal does. The repair shop said they have never seen one flash like that before, so they have no clue what to do for it.

The University of Michigan Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center (MHWFAC) delivers the highest quality care and most comprehensive clinical services available for food allergy patients and their families.
Our board-certified allergists conduct expert evaluation, testing and diagnosis at U-M's specialized food allergy clinic and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital facilities in Ann Arbor. As a patient, you'll receive an individualized care plan that meets your specific health needs. This involves collaboration with referring doctors and specialists, as well as consultations with our food allergy nurse and/or a social worker or registered dietitian.
The University of Michigan Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center delivers not only the highest quality of care and comprehensive clinical services, but has now also established a Food Allergy Center focused on basic research.
Currently, most therapies for food allergies only control the symptoms after an allergic reaction occurs and do little to address the underlying abnormal immune responses which cause allergy. Research scientists at the Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center have started to test whether immunizing against food proteins with a nanoemulsion vaccine will re-direct the immune system away from a hypersensitive allergic response, and toward a more moderate, non-life-threatening response such as in egg and peanut allergy.
Suspicious of Food
If successful, these studies could demonstrate that nanoemulsion-based vaccines can be used to modulate severe food allergy responses and thus would greatly reduce the life-threatening risks that are currently associated with food allergies.
The hope is that children and adults will lead better, more normal lives – now and in the future.
The MWHFAC also provides free education and training to help families, caregivers and communities manage food allergy more successfully, keeping patients safer and healthier.
Finally, doctors at the MWHFAC engage in research aimed at improving patients' quality of life and, ultimately, finding a cure for the millions who suffer from food allergy.
MWHFAC Mission: To provide comprehensive food-allergy-related patient care and expand food allergy education, research and community services for this patient population.
Click here to learn how you can support our mission and contribute to the U-M Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center.

Kacey and I ran our second annual Color Run today. And I would interpret the word "run" loosely because, although this is promoted as a 5K fun run, there actually seemed to be very few people doing any running this year. The rules say that walkers should stay to the right, and runners to the left side of the road. But the walkers just seemed to spill over everywhere. It was actually difficult to run due to the number of people strolling with kids in wagons and strollers, and groups of people stopping in the running lane to take photos.
Still, it was fun. My sister and niece joined us this year and we made it a girl thing. While waiting in the mob for our turn to start, we enjoyed the crowd, bubbles blowing from bubble machines, loud music and a very happy deejay perched high above the crowd whose job it was to fuel the energy of the crowd. He tossed down prizes from above and Kacey and I fought it out for an orange Color Run t-shirt which ended up in our hands. She yanked it away from me and I let her have it. I'm not likely to wear orange anyway! :-)
The temperatures were higher than we've had so far this summer – in the nineties – and the humidity was high, which made the colored powder cling all that much more easily to our sweaty skin. An added bonus this year was sparkle. So we ended the run covered not only in yellow, orange, pink and blue … but gold and silver shimmer too.
We had a lot of laughs. And since uninterrupted running proved to be such a challenge, we made the best of it and joined in the goofiness of it all. At the color stations, we scooped up handfuls of colored powder and slapped handprints all over each other. And we decided that if we want to really run, we'd best sign up for another run … one with just a bit less, you know … fun.
But we're still going to do the Color Run again next year!

Rogge says future IOC heads should be paid

BERLIN -- IOC President Jacques Rogge believes his successor should be paid a salary.
Rogge will step down in September after 12 years at the helm of the International Olympic Committee.
Rogge and previous IOC presidents did not receive a salary for what has been considered a volunteer position. Rogge and former presidents did receive living and other expenses.
In an interview published in the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Rogge says he will propose to the IOC's executive ...

100 show for softball meetingPublished 3:01pm Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Sparkman, however, asked chief financial officer Sarita Tapscott the same question. She said the school system would have to use some capital improvement funds for the new high school, but that amount had not yet been determined.
Don Pettus, who has three granddaughters who are coming up in the softball program, said he felt the girls shouldn't have to worry about transportation between campuses just for practice.
"If you can't make a decision about that, maybe you ought to put your names on a resignation," he said.
Baylee Holt, a Hartselle all-state softball player, pleaded with the board to remember them.
"I just ask you to do the best thing for us," Holt said.

It doesn't matter. Institutional investors have direct in-house ECN access, and do not use retail brokers; in many cases, they are a registered retail broker. CIBC World Markets, for instance, is the trading arm of CIBC. They have an inventory of millions of shares on hundreds of equities at any given moment, and will not lock up your shares just because you said so. Trading institutions sometimes run block trades and derivatives thru clearing houses that act like a broker, or distributor, but are not available to retail traders. Institutions like CIBC or GS can borrow shares from each other to facilitate legal shorting. Naked shorting is also very common. It's illegal in theory, but regulators usually look the other way. The point is, you can't stop shorting by making a phone call to your broker.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban joined KTCK-AM 1310 on Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
On Chandler Parsons
Mark Cuban: I was pretty confident. Houston is a very logical organization. They do things by the book. They'll follow logic as opposed to some other human elements ... I guess I can't think of a better way to put it. And so, by the book, they were not going to match. We priced it so if they tried to do a sign-and-trade, they were up against the CBA's hard cap. And that would limit their options. We knew if they didn't do anything with Chris Bosh, it would create limitations for their future flexibility. If they did bring in Chris Bosh, they basically were going to have to get rid of everybody. We tried to make it as difficult as possible on them.
On Parsons' 'untradeable contract'
Mark Cuban: That just says so much about the difference. They looked at every player as an asset. That asset was a step toward getting another asset. We look towards how do you build a team. Chemistry matters to us. Culture matters to us. We made it a difficult contract to trade because we have no intentions of trading him.

Project Life Hawaii layouts
I started working on our Hawaiian vacation album from June. The below layouts are some of the pages from our 1st 2 days. So far both days are 5 pages long. I'm thinking there might be a volume 2 of our trip, yikes! Bellow are some close ups of my above layout.
Some close ups of my above layout.
I loved all the beautiful exotic plants and flowers in Hawaii!
I saved and pressed some plants and flowers from our trip to include in the scrapbook.
I added some decorative glass pebbles to this journal card.
I really didn't want to loose the tops of these pictures under the Diamond Head title because I think they're interesting enough to keep, so I kept them.
Some flowers I pressed that I brought home from Hawaii.

Refilling my Paper Punches
My 10 year old daughter actually started this jar for me. I have loved my paper hole punches and used them a ton! I just used 1/2 a jar on my recent Project Life projects and have been using my paper scraps to punch more paper dots to refill my jar. I also add random sparkles and sequins to make it pretty. I punch tickets and book pages and paper scraps. I love the look of it and it's fun and easy to use. Just run some adhesive and shake some dots and press to stick.Or sew some between some transparency for a shaker pocket, great for Project Life. Be creative and have fun with your homemade confetti!

Making Project Life Cards
I decided to try my hand at making Project Life cards out of all my scrap paper.
I had fun playing with different scraps, tapes and ribbons I had laying around.
I tried sticking some things from my whole punch jar to the top of one, I like how it turned out!
I enjoyed making these! I think I will defiantly do this more in the future!here. Come check it out, there's still lots of things left. I take Paypal.

How I minimized my scrap stash to scrap more efficiently
here. My goal is to sell all the extra craft stuff and buy my dream desk to store it where it's all in view and with in reach. I have already purchased this awesome cart to store my Project Life stuff.
Below is my desk. I now put my projects to be done in piles on my work desk. I used it today and got a bunch of forms filled out that have been sitting next to my bed. Now that I have a designated "to do desk" I got it done! I also have a goal to get at least 10 mins. of creative time a day at my desk. Little by little I will get stuff done! Before I was only scrapbooking 2 x per year when I would go away with my scrap buddy. Now I will be able to be continually working on it and all those mins. add up quick! Before you know it I'll have a book done! I've also switched over almost completely to Project Life. I love it because you need way less stuff to do it! Yet you can still be creative and you can still add the occasional full page LO if you choose to! I'm just so excited to make my space usable again!! It's been too long since I've used my scrap space! Happy scraping!

Bad Quality Control
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3023221 on Jan 14, 2015
Some of the candy is okay, mild honeyish flavor, but others have a different taste that is more like some kind of medicine or something, I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe some of their honey/lemon got mixed in, definitely don't like those.

Taste alright though they don't look like what the packaging shows

Posted by SavoringLife on Dec 16, 2013
Contrary to the tantalizing picture shown on the packet, what you get when you open the packet is actually many individually-wrapped hard candies that look a solid yellow. The picture on the packet is probably some microscopic enlargement. That said, the candies taste nice enough and candy lovers should like this product. I may rebuy even if I don't usually eat sweets.
Honey flavour is inconsistent

Posted by 5750991053919781927 on Mar 09, 2015
I've ordered both honey and honey and lemon flavours. Honey and lemon is great but for the honey flavour, there always seem to be a few candies which have an odd ginger flavour. Maybe mixed in from the ginger flavour? This is my second bag and it happened for both bags. The honey and lemon is fine. Please improve on quality control.
love these!!!
Posted by 4992735864030155608 on Dec 04, 2014
love the honey flavor!!! when I have a cold I crave honey candies but they always just have them honey with lemon, which I dont like. these are so much better!

Comments by KrennenC
Awesome episode! Carol sure has come a long way!
I also loved how Tony went against Vance and called Gibbs when it was revealed Rivera was the force behind all this.
I know Linda Hunt has said she does want to leave the show eventually, so I am afraid this may be it...I hope not as I love her!
Pauley Perrette is just like Abby in real life. She is very aware of the homeless and even carries new socks in her car to hand out the homeless.
@Mikey yes, she was in two other episodes as a lie detector specialist who was crazy about McGee and she was very annoying and very socially awkward.
loved the episode except for Susan Grady. Her character in the past has been so whiny and unsure, so making her become a field agent just did not work for me.
I too hate the way the writers have Sanchez mooning over Rios. It makes him look like an idiot!
I was not really impressed with the introduction of the Red Team. But I want to like it and will give the new show a chance. I felt the same way about NCIS-LA when it first came on. I wanted so much to like it because I loved Chris and LL, but I had to force myself to watch it at first. I am glad I did because now it is my 2nd favorite show (NCIS is my 1st). Therefore, I would be willing to give Red a chance to prove itself too.
The scene where Agent Parker brings the book to Purefoy at the end of the episode makes me wonder about her...
I agree on the great performances of Cote and Rocky, but I was also touched by Mark Harmon. Watching him waiting at the hospital, the look on his face as he waited for Leon and the compassion in his eyes when Leon told him Jackie was dead...if anyone can relate to losing the love of your life in a senseless death it is Gibbs.

The latest extra benchmarks done this weekend as thanks to those Phoronix readers taking advantage of our holiday premium deal are some fresh OS X vs. Linux benchmarks. As it's been a while since last running any cross-OS comparison benchmarks between Apple and Linux distributions, I've started running a fresh comparison using OS X 10.11.1 "El Capitan" and the initial Linux distribution for reference is Fedora 23.
Published yesterday was a test of Intel Skylake graphics on Ubuntu 15.10 vs. Windows 10 with a focus on the OpenGL performance. In today's article is a similar cross-operating-system comparison but this time being featured are three NVIDIA graphics cards to see how the latest NVIDIA drivers are running.
As it's been a while since my last Windows vs. Linux graphics comparison and haven't yet done such a comparison for Intel's latest-generation Skylake HD Graphics, the past few days I was running Windows 10 Pro x64 versus Ubuntu 15.10 graphics benchmarks with a Core i5 6600K sporting HD Graphics 530.
With Ubuntu 15.10, Fedora 23, and openSUSE 42.1 Leap all having been released in the past week, for your open-source benchmarking pleasure today is a comparison of these Linux distributions along with some other modern Linux distributions: Antergos 2015.10-Rolling, Debian 8.2, CentOS 7, and Manjaro 15.11.
Following yesterday's article about openSUSE 42.1 Leap being tweaked for better out-of-the-box performance, I ran some benchmarks on the officially-released openSUSE 42.1 to compare it to the older benchmarks I did when Leap was still under development.
For your viewing pleasure today are some fresh benchmarks comparing the out-of-the-box performance of Fedora 20, Fedora 21, Fedora 22, and Fedora 23 RC3 out-of-the-box on an Intel Xeon system with AMD R600g graphics. Here's a look at the Fedora Linux performance and that of the upstream Linux kernel / Mesa / GCC over the past two years.
As mentioned earlier some benchmarks to share this weekend are comparing the out-of-the-box OpenGL graphics performance on Fedora 23 when running some benchmarks under KDE Plasma, Xfce, GNOME, LXDE, and MATE.
In this article are benchmarks comparing the performance of DragonFlyBSD 4.2 to that of Ubuntu 15.10. With these CPU-focused benchmarks, the core scaling performance was also looked at in going from two cores through four cores plus Hyper Threading.
It's been a while since last running any BSD vs. Linux benchmarks, so I've started some fresh comparisons using the latest releases of various BSDs and Linux distributions. First up, as for what's completed so far, is using the FreeBSD-based PC-BSD 10.2 compared to Ubuntu 15.04 stable and the latest development release of Ubuntu 15.10.
Last week I posted the benchmarks of a six-way Linux distribution comparison that included Fedora, openSUSE, Manjaro, Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint Linux. One of the test requests that came out of it was posting some follow-up benchmarks of the different openSUSE Linux kernel options. In this article are benchmarks of openSUSE's four main kernel flavors.
A new update to OpenIndiana is available, the operating system powered by Illumos that's derived from what was the OpenSolaris code-base prior to it being killed by Oracle. OpenIndiana 2015.10 "Hipster" is the name of this new release.
Honoring the latest round of Phoronix Premium reader requests is a fresh six-way Linux distribution comparison. Tested were Manjaro 15.09 and Linux Mint 17.2 and then the latest development versions of Fedora 23, openSUSE 42.1 Leap, Debian Stretch Testing, and Ubuntu 15.10.
The Fedora 23 Beta is scheduled to be released this morning while GNOME 3.18 is supposed to come tomorrow. Both these important free software projects are in great shape and from my experiences with GNOME 3.18 on Fedora 23 Beta is doing well and I'm looking forward to the stable releases.
When I first started to talk to Michael about working with him this summer, one of the things we agreed on is that I would do a review of Windows 10. While I vastly prefer Linux as my day-to-day operating system, I do use Windows for gaming, and I also support Windows clients as part of my job at my University.
Earlier this week I ran some Windows 10 vs. Linux benchmarks of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the latest AAA game that's been ported to Linux. Those results showed the Linux version of this game running much slower than Windows, so while having a Win10 installation around I decided to also run some fresh OpenGL Windows 10 vs. Ubuntu Linux benchmarks on some older titles. Here are those results.
Since the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2015 and GNU Hurd 0.6 this year, I've been meaning to run some new performance benchmarks considering my previous Hurd benchmarks were last done in 2011.
Resulting from the What Windows 10 vs. Linux Benchmarks Would You Like To See and The Phoronix Test Suite Is Running On Windows 10, here are our first benchmarks comparing the performance of Microsoft's newly released Windows 10 Pro x64 against Fedora 22 when looking at the Intel's OpenGL driver performance across platforms.
No Linux distribution is absolutely perfect for any and all use cases. Some use older software than the user would prefer, some lack the polish that comes with a distribution integrating all the pieces together, some projects might be heading down a direction that the user disagrees with. Many users end up finding themselves in the arms of the Fedora Project or its cousin the CentOS Project, as it provides the tri-fecta of up-to-date software, distribution level integration, and tweak-ability that Linux users so often enjoy.
Another ~6 months down, another Fedora release. While Fedora 23 looks to be an interesting release over all -- with some initial changes coming to Anaconda, and some changes coming to the upgrade process -- this release was more low-key for most of Fedora-land. Workstation saw updates to notifications and general theme'ing improvements, Gnome Software got AppData integration to bring the Software Center closer to an app-store experience. Of course Gnome Boxes and Gnome Builder were included as well, allowing for more out-of-the-box developer improvements in the realm of Virutalization and IDE's, respectively. But there weren't any ground breaking features across the board -- no swapping of the init system, no BTRFS, no Wayland by default, although GDM is running the Login Screen through Wayland.
For those that haven't yet upgraded to Fedora 22, here's some benchmarks comparing the open-source Radeon graphics performance of Fedora 21 against the newly-released Fedora 22 Linux distribution update.
Fedora 22 is now under its final freeze with planned availability before month's end. I've been running Fedora 22 on various development systems and in the benchmarking farm at Phoronix to great success.
While we know Intel Broadwell performance is much faster on Ubuntu 15.04 than Ubuntu 14.10, with this week's release of Ubuntu Vivd Vervet, here's some fresh results looking to see how the Intel Haswell graphics performance has evolved over the past six months. For the many Intel Haswell owners out there, you'll be pleased that the performance has overall improved.
With having a new Apple Mac Mini in our testing labs this week, I ran some basic benchmarks comparing Mac OS X 10.10.2 to Ubuntu 15.04 to Fedora 21 in a few different configurations.
This weekend I spent some time testing the latest Fedora 22 test candidate ahead of tomorrow's Fedora 22 Alpha release. Overall the experience was very good and I'm very excited for the official Fedora 22 release in May. I felt Fedora 21 was the best release yet and switched to running it on my most critical production system while now Fedora 22 is set to beat out its previous release.
With the Kubuntu 15.04 release due out in April it's using the Plasma 5 desktop by default. This morning I tried out the latest daily ISO snapshot of Kubuntu 15.04 to see how this bleeding-edge KDE Linux desktop experience is panning out. Simply put, Kubuntu and the latest KDE experience is doing quite well.
The latest Linux benchmarks for your viewing pleasure are a comparison of five Linux distributions tested on the new Intel Core i3 Broadwell NUC with a variety of performance tests.
The latest Linux benchmarks I have to share from the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Intel Broadwell processor are some openSUSE Tumbleweed tests with the results compared to Fedora 21 and Ubuntu 14.10/15.04.
With yesterday having delivered some Ubuntu 14.10 vs. 15.04 benchmarks on the third-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, today we're turning the tables to see how Ubuntu on this Core i7 Broadwell ultrabook compares to Fedora 21.
Unless you manually upgrade your kernel and other system packages from your Ubuntu 14.10 installation, Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet is an important release for users of new Intel Broadwell systems for ensuring your hardware reaches its maximum performance potential.
Linux graphics tests of Intel's Broadwell hardware are finally here! Going back to November of 2013 is when Intel began putting out open-source Broadwell HD Graphics code. Since the initial Broadwell code drop, I've written dozens of articles to date covering the Linux kernel work, Mesa DRI OpenGL driver progress, Beignet OpenCL compute support, and other key Linux components work on Intel Broadwell support. A few days ago I received the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Core i7 Broadwell CPU to finally see how the Linux support has panned out for this next-generation line-up succeeding Haswell.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration has declined to cite China for manipulating its currency to gain unfair trade advantages against the United States.
A Bush administration report criticizes China for slowing the pace at which its currency was rising in value against the dollar. It also says China must return to a more rapid pace of appreciation for its currency.
But in the report, which must be submitted to Congress every six months, the administration says China did not meet the standards set in U.S. law for being cited as a currency manipulator.

This morning, Easter Sunday, I went to Pointe-Claire, a place on the
Island of Montreal where there is a windmill on the shore of the lake, to
attend an ecumenical, bilingual (French and English) service. A large
group of people gathered there at seven o'clock. People from every
church and chapel in our area, Protestant and Catholic, French and
English, to welcome the risen Lord. And amongst us, a young priest from
my parish, a convert from Judaism. Just as the service began, a flock
of Canada geese flew in "v" formation over our heads. It was a
beautiful sight altogether - it was just like a flock of angels,
proclaiming, "The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!"

I used to dog-ear (library books included), up until I was told not to some time in Elementary school. For a while I would use the jacket, if the book had one, until I realized that bent it. Since then I've used bookmarks - normally a scrap of paper or unused napkin, since that's what's closest. I'm very focused on having everything nice and organized, so anything that would damage a book, even if it's still completely useable, is taboo to me. I was very put-off when we had to annotate and highlight for English class, but now I do that to my favorites because it's annoying to have to search for a favorite passage for the tenth time. Books that I can see myself reselling or giving away, however, I don't mark.
Bookmark. I will use just about anything for a bookmark, but I can't doggy-ear my books.
I dog ear magazines, encyclopedias, information books but not novels. I don't really know why. I use a bookmark that I made out of a To Write Love on Her Arms t-shirt tag, mostly.
Both. *nods*
I have no problem with dog-earing. I do it on occasion. It goes right up there with underlining quotes and writing notes in my books; it's a way to make them mine. (There are thousands of others with the exact same book, but doing such a thing makes the copy special to me, personal. It only happens to really good books. XD)
But I usually memorize the page number I'm on and just close the book. When I don't it's a 50-50 chance as far as which will happen.
I don't use either, I remember the the page number, because I always lose bookmarks and I have an obsession with keeping my books in pristine condition, I think I'd collapse if I leant a book to someone and they'd dog eared it! But if its your own book then its not abuse! I have a beautiful bookmark that I got from my best friend last year that's hand made, but I daren't use it in case I lose it somewhere, so it's just chilling on my bookshelf for now, surrounded by my Harry Potters!
I don't think I've ever had a real preference.
I think my definition of "bookmark" has become very loose and encompasses anything from letters or pieces of scratch paper to pens, pieces of wood, wrapped granola bars, nick-nacks, or other books. In the case of hardbacks, I'll often use the inside flaps of the dust jacket to mark my page, but if it's a paperback or I simply don't see anything nearby that's thin enough to allow the book to close at least most-of-the-way, I'll just take a look at the page number and assume I'll remember next time pick it up. If I don't remember, then I'll spend a couple minutes reading and recalling and finding my place, something which I seem to enjoy.
I find that I use dog-earring to mark pages with passages I want to remember, those times when I don't have a pencil handy. The fold will be in whichever corner is closest to such a passage, "pointing" at it.
On a side note, the term "dog-ear" always reminds me of the scene from the movie Finding Forrester where Sean Connery's character says something like, "look, you've gone dog-eared one of them. Have some respect for the author, why don't ya?" referring to a page in a book of which, as it turns out, he's the author.
I like old, battered books. Most of mine are dog-earred, water damaged, battered and broken. I don't think i can even say I have all the HP books any more because I'm missing about 50 pages from various books
i'm sorry, but, while accidents happen, this seems to cross the line into abuse to me. at the very least i'm baffled by how you can even read, let alone enjoy the books any more if they have seriously damaged and/or missing pages.
feel free to enlighten me though.
I agree. While I used to treat my books horribly(which I blame on the kid logic of "well I didn't pay for them"), I now treat my books like I have the only copy in existence. Accidents do happen though, as my water damaged copy of World War Z shows. My Harry Potter books on the other hand, are pretty beat up. Number one has the entire middle half of the book broken out. Two is paper back, so it is pretty destroyed. Three is broken at the spine. Four is banged up and covered in stains, mostly from Doritos, same with five. Six is in perfect condition, as even though I went to the midnight release, I got 300 pages in and quit due to some misgivings I had with it. It ended up in a box in my closet. I did not buy seven until Part 1 came out, and even though it is paperback it is still in perfect condition.
Bookmark. Bookmark. Bookmarkbookmarkbookmark. NEVER EVER DOG-EAR, AAGHAGHDG.
:) My family now carries book marks with them where ever they go for the simple reason that if I see a stranger dog-earring a book I will hand them a bookmark.
anything works for a bookmark. A flyer, a sticky note, a handkerchief - anything. I never dog-ear. I feel physical pain whenever I find one page crinkeled. :(
Fun fact: around here we call it a donkey ear :)

PTA News & Events (2012)
PTA Christmas Fayre24 Nov 2012
The PTA is delighted to announce that the Christmas Fayre on Saturday made an impressive £3632.16. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for their donations, support and help on the day. A huge amount of you gave up your time to help and without that commitment, the Fayre could not have happened.
A Busy Start to the Term02 Oct 2012
It has been a busy start to the Term for the PTA, with our Welcome Coffee Morning being well attended, followed by 2 BBQ's and ski sales. Amazingly, the sun shone for both BBQ's and the PTA have raised around £1000 from these events. Many thanks to all of you who came along and supported us.
The PTA are funding some new items for Pre-school this Term, and there are still many other ideas which are being investigated for us to fund.
Remember, to put the Christmas Fayre date into your diary - Saturday 24th November.
60th Anniversary Dinner Dance18 May 2012
Not to be outdone by Her Majesty, 200 former pupils, staff, governors and current members of the Craigclowan community celebrated the School's 60th Birthday in style at Perth Racecourse last Friday. Drinks were followed by a welcome from Andy Rathborne, then it was straight into a game of "Heads or Tails" ably hosted by Ed Anderson and won by a delighted Heather Stephen, whose knowledge of Craigclowan clearly knows no bounds! After a delicious three course Dinner, the guests were treated to a speech by David Yellowlees who reminisced about 60 years of the School. Once a wide range of prizes were won in the raffle, it was down to the serious business of dancing the evening away to "The Solid Gold Band".
As you will see from the photos, it was a wonderful celebration enjoyed by all who attended, even the Craigclowan cow joined us for the evening! And there are not many events that bring together the past, the current and the future Headmasters!
The PTA Dinner Dance Committee would like to thank everyone who supported the event and those who donated prizes. We are extremely delighted to be donating over £3800 to the Mark Taylor Educational Trust.
Lastly, our "60 photos for 60 years of Craigclowan" display that was done for the Dinner Dance can now be seen in the school dining hall.
PTA Quiz Night25 Feb 2012
A huge thank you to the 80 people who supported the 4th PTA Quiz Night on Saturday 25th February. As always, it was a fun-filled evening for all. David and Tina did a brilliant job as quiz masters and kept the evening moving at a quick pace - leaving little time for most of the teams to notice the fact that the "Monarchs of the Glen" lead by Liz Jeffers were clear favourites from early in the evening and were going to be hard to beat. Congratulations to them, and commiserations to Lorna Glynn's team for losing the title that they have held for 2 years.
There was a close fought battle for last place and well done to Fiona Jamison's team for winning that particular glory! The final prize of the evening went to Karen Bayne's team the "Four Non-Blondes" for winning the Best Named Team category.
I am sure there will be a few of us who feel much better for knowing the name of the Olympics mascot or the owner of a dog named Blondi!
