Legislation legalizing the sale of alcohol at more movie theaters won final passage Friday in the Louisiana legislature, the Times-Picayune reports.
Senate Bill 654 narrowly passed the House. It would allow movie theaters to obtain liquor licenses as long as the alcohol sales are separate from other concessions being sold.
It now heads to Governor Jindal for a signature to become law.
Five Louisiana movie theaters received their liquor permits prior to 1994, and already sell alcohol.
The oil and gas industry won a significant victory in the Louisiana Legislature Friday with Senate passage of a bill that seeks to kill a lawsuit filed by a New Orleans area levee board against 97 oil and gas companies.
The lawsuit alleges the companies' drilling activities damaged Louisiana's coast.
Senators voted 25-11 for the measure that is aimed at retroactively voiding the lawsuit. The vote sent the bill to Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is likely to sign it.

State lawmakers have been showing an independent streak this session. Defying Gov. Bobby Jindal on some of his most defining policy positions that he's hoping to keep on his resume as he looks beyond his time in the governor's mansion.

Senators saw a pile of unallocated potential money as part of a House bill to extend the tax amnesty program, and they jumped at it.
"Let's do something we can go home and say, 'Yes! We did something for economic development'," Delhi Senator Francis Thompson urged.
"My amendment will give 25-million dollars to the Board of Regents, to higher education," New Orleans Senator Karen Carter Peterson offered.
"Let's put it where we got a 12-billion dollar backlog. Put everything we got into those roads," Benton Senator Robert Adley pushed for infrastructure funding.

Louisiana has billions of taxpayer dollars tied up in thousands of contracts—for goods and services, consulting, privatization and more. Lawmakers, frustrated by the continuing battles to balance the state budget, are pushing to take a closer look at those contracts.

It looks like the cost of a driver's license is going up—but so is the length of time between renewals.
"The fee will be more, but it's a six year fee, so over time it'll be the same," explains Franklin Foil.
The Baton Rouge representative authored the measure increasing both the cost and expiration dates for all Louisiana drivers' licenses. A basic license, which now costs $21.50 and is good for four years, will be going up to $32.50, and will be valid for six years.

With just 10 days left in the legislative session, we're down to the nitty gritty: lawmakers are trying to figure out how to sew up the state budget. And earlier this week, the Revenue Estimating Committee rebuffed the Jindal administration's wish to include $54 million in revenue that could come with changes to how the state Dept. of Revenue does its tax collecting, according to a group of consultants on the hunt for savings in the state budget.

"I'm not a communist."
But Senator Conrad Appel isn't a happy camper, either. He took to the floor of the Senate Thursday to deliver a tirade directed toward Governor Bobby Jindal.
"You can call me a communist. You can call me a socialist fascist—that's a good one," Appel declared forcefully. "Anything you want to call me? Do it!"
With less than two weeks left in the session, bills are piling up in both chambers. While both the House and the Senate worked on shortening their stacks of paperwork Tuesday afternoon, critters became a recurring theme.
Originally published on Tue May 20, 2014 1:08 pm
The Revenue Estimating Conference, the state's official income predictors, met Monday afternoon to adopt new revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year, which starts July 1.
LSU economist Dr. Jim Richardson had immediate concerns about the Jindal administration's numbers, which included $54-million extra in anticipated tax collections.

Spokane offers a unique experience of the Pacific Northwest.
Spokane may be the city for you if you want the many perks of living in the Northwest United States, but would rather avoid metropolis living. If this sounds like your cup of tea, getting your moving containers together and heading to the city may not be a bad idea.
The city of Spokane has a population of slightly more than 210,000 people, which makes it approximately one-third the size of Seattle. The two cities are also on the opposite sides of the state. Spokane is within a short drive of both the Idaho and Canadian borders.
Spokane Transit Authority offers bus service throughout the city, which can make it easier to get around if you don't plan to drive.
Weather in Spokane can vary, but it typically receives a steady amount of rainfall, as well as warm summers and cold winters. The average summer high temperature is 83 degrees, while the average winter low is 23 degrees, according to The Weather Channel.
Spokane offers many educational options, while there are also other choices around the eastern part of the state. Both Gonzaga University and Whitworth University call the city home, while Eastern Washington University is only a short drive away, as it is located in Cheney. Washington State University is less than 90 minutes south of Spokane. Both schools have satellite campuses in the city.
There are many sports options in and around the city, which may help some people adjust to the new area if they are sports fans. While there are no teams from the four major professional sports, there are a host of college sports in the area. Gonzaga, Washington State and Eastern Washington all offer Division I college sports in the area.
Multiple minor league teams call Spokane home, including the Arena Football League's Shock, the Western Hockey League's Chiefs, and the Northwest Baseball League's Indians.
Many outdoor sights in Spokane
The Spokane River runs through the city, and the landscape creates the Spokane Falls. These various waterfalls make for a very scenic watershed area. There are also many parks throughout the city, which may be great for outdoor recreation activities. There are major parks in the greater county area, such as Mount Spokane State Park, which offers skiing and snowboarding options.

Sterlingcindysu's review
Oct 08, 10
Read from July 21 to October 08, 2010
A very powerful book, both in story and the type of philosophical thinking, "what would you do"? Loved the humorous comments about her learning "the Queen's English" and since I'm in Canada reading it, the queen's picture is on this money too. It was needed to break up all the tragedy all over this book. Does anything one person do make a difference? Or is it all in how your brain process it? (copied review) This is the story of two women. Their lives collide one fateful day, and one of them has to make a terrible choice, the kind of choice we hope you never have to face. Two years later, they meet again - the story starts there ... Once you have read it, you'll want to tell your friends about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens. The magic is in how the story unfolds.

Background Info:
Sussex County Cricket Club have announced the signing of batsman Craig Cachopa on a two-year contract, which will see him stay at Hove until the end of the 2016 season.
The 22 year-old arrives at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground after being on trial with the Second Eleven for the past two months, and has played the last two NatWest T20 Blast matches for Sussex, having made his debut against Kent last Friday.
The former New Zealand Under-19's captain was born in South Africa but qualifies as a non-overseas signing as he holds a Portuguese passport.
He averages over 50 in first-class cricket, having made 21 appearances for Auckland scoring nearly 1,700 runs in the process, hitting his highest score of 203 in February.
More recently he has hit centuries in both the Championship and 50-over Trophy format for Sussex's Second Eleven.
Cachopa said of his move to Sussex, "I'm really happy to have signed here at such a historic club and this is a fantastic opportunity for me.
"I played with Chris Nash and Luke Wright in New Zealand and when I came over to the UK to play club cricket, they suggested I joined up with the second eleven.
"That gave me the chance to get to know the club and I'm absolutely thrilled to be offered a contract."

This has been a personal problem for me because I am loath to throw away any food. But those damn crumbs... what to do with them?
I got the recipe from my mom, it's un-named, I guess I would call it a mexican casserole. That is for lack of a better description. I thought it was pretty good eatin' , not super delicious, but certainly a solution to throwing out cornchip crumbs. If it were tweaked, it could probably be a really stunning dish:
Cornchip crumbs layer, quarter inch or more
Hamburger meat cooked/seasoned separately
ranch style beans
cream of chicken soup. this is not a typo
taco seasoning
sprinkle on a layer of cheese on top and bake it
I generally get great recipes from my mother, tweak them a little, and make great great great recipes. Pam, I am thinking half a stick of butter. Taco seasoning, I have no idea what that is and have never used it. Cream of chicken soup, now who in the he11 would put cream of chicken soup on hamburger meat? Mom. She mentioned texture as a reason, but it is a sort of sloppy casserole type dish anyway as they all are.
I would need a substitute for cream of chicken. And taco seasoning. I don't know, maybe simply picante sauce. One might have to experiment a little. It probably depends on how much cornchip crumb you use, because those need to be cooked in and therefore not left dry. If you just need it wetter, french onion soup came to mind,..... but damnation that sounds risky, as this is supposed to be a casserole and not a slop.
But the original dish was quite good as it was. No need to waste cornchip crumbs or have to eat them in the raw.

Well I too despised Tyler & James. The only positive part of their win was that 'Bama did not win. I have stated and described my hatred of this team on many occasions, but when you compare them to other M/M teams who WON (e.g. Chris & Alex, Reichen & Chip and Dan & Jordan) I think I'd prefer Tyler & James (although I still hate all the teams I mentioned). And they certainly are better than winners like Freddy & Kendra and Eric & Danielle.

|Amazing_Race, are you asking me why I think Blake/Paige are overrated or why I don't like them? I think they're overrated because most people I know love them and I don't. I don't like them because they were predictable, didn't respect other cultures (remember when they said, "We do not worship idols"?), and acted incredibly superior to the other teams.
Well fair enough, but just so you know, I saw a YouTube video in which Blake has started a shoe-business which distributes free shoes to children in Africa, so I think if they didn't respect other cultures on the race, he certainly does now.

Milwaukee County library system releases new catalog app for mobile devices
Boopsie contracted by system to develop app
The Milwaukee County Federated Library System this week unveiled an app that will allow mobile phones to access the library catalog.
The CountyCat Mobile app allows users of all handheld phones to check the catalog, place books on hold, find locations and hours of member libraries, download ebooks and audiobooks, find out if the library system has a book by scanning its ISBN barcode and more, said Jim Gingery, director of the library system.
Access to the mobile app is at m.mcfls.org.
The library system is made up of 15 Milwaukee County libraries, including the Wauwatosa Public Library.
The system contracted with Boopsie Inc. to create the app. Boopsie has done similar work for more than 250 libraries and universities, according to a MCFLS press release. The app cost an implementation fee of about $5,600, paid for by the system, plus a subscription fee of $14,800 a year, divided among the member libraries, based on population, with the Milwaukee Public Library paying half of the total. The Wauwatosa portion of the fee is $925 a year.
"What they're able to do is create basically an app for every device out there that you can imagine," said Steve Heser, library systems administrator. "If there's an app that can't be used on a device, they'll develop one for that.
"The biggest concern we had was reaching people with as many devices as are out there," Heser continued.
Boopsie gets regular updates of the catalog, which is constantly changing as new books and other resources are added, Heser said. One button on the app, in fact, accesses new materials, a feature Heser insisted on.
Boopsie "understands how libraries work, which was the biggest thing," Heser said.

The NCAA Tournament selection committee had an especially difficult job this year -- and it did a phenomenal job overall in choosing this year's field of 65. The committee rewarded mid-majors for great seasons. Remember, every year deserving teams will be left out. Here's my take on Selection Sunday ... and let March Madness begin!
Biggest Snub: Utah State
This year, Utah State has to be the biggest snub. My heart goes out to the Aggies -- talk about Heartbreak Hotel. They're the classic case of a mid-major that got snubbed. Utah State finished with a 25-3 record and is ranked No. 22 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. The Aggies lost by just a point in the Big West tournament semifinals.
Saint Joseph's Rewarded For Regular Season
I don't really have a problem with Saint Joseph's as a No. 1 seed after the loss to Xavier in the A-10 quarterfinals. Sure, you could make a case for some other schools, but the Hawks were rewarded for a sensational regular season in which they were unbeaten (and they played a tough nonconference schedule).
Disrespect For Pitt, Big Ten
Pittsburgh got a raw deal being a No. 3 seed after winning the Big East regular season (with just four losses overall). Plus, the Panthers potentially could play Wisconsin in Milwaukee in the second round.
Even though the Big Ten was down a bit this season, the top three Big Ten teams should have been seeded higher than they were. Illinois (No. 5 in Atlanta), Wisconsin (No. 6 in N.J.) and Michigan State (No. 7 in St. Louis) can play with top competition. Michigan State struggled early against an incredibly tough nonconference schedule but bounced back strong. Wisconsin should have been a No. 4 or even a No. 3.
But these 65 teams are so close. We make such a big deal out of the seeds, but the bottom line is you've got to play, man! To win the national title, you've got to win six straight games ... you've got to survive and advance. Whatever your seed, you're going to face tough competition -- maybe not in the first round as a No. 1 or No. 2 seed, but there are very few easy games when March Madness begins.
Toughest Region: Atlanta
Atlanta is the toughest region. When you see North Carolina as a No. 6 seed, Duke as the top seed, Arizona (9) and Seton Hall (8) along with Louisville (10) and Mississippi State (2) -- wow, that region is loaded, baby!
Sleeper Picks (Lower Than No. 4 Seed)
Atlanta Region -- North Carolina (6)
East Rutherford Region -- Wisconsin (6)
St. Louis Region -- Michigan State (7)
Phoenix Region -- Syracuse (5)
Final Four Picks
Duke (Atlanta)
Pittsburgh (East Rutherford)
Kentucky (St. Louis)
UConn (Phoenix)
Title Game -- Kentucky-Duke
National Champion -- Kentucky
Intriguing First-Round Matchups
Remember, the NCAA is no longer identifying regions by East, South, Midwest and West. Given the relatively new pod system that keeps teams closer to home, it made sense to the NCAA to identify regions by the sites for the regional semifinals/finals (the four locations listed below). Also, keep in mind that a No. 5 seed has defeated a No. 12 in 15 of the past 16 years.
Seton Hall (8) vs. Arizona (9) -- Arizona has a tremendous starting five and plays well in transition, but the Wildcats lack depth. Seton Hall has an outstanding point guard, senior Andre Barrett. The matchup of Barrett vs. diaper dandy Mustafa Shakur will be worth watching. I give the slightest edge in this contest to the Pirates -- hey, I can't go against my alma mater, Seton Hall! But Arizona is a dangerous team.
Texas Tech (8) vs. Charlotte (9) -- I give Texas Tech the edge. I love senior guard Andre Emmett, and coach Bob Knight is so tough at tournament time. Certainly, Coach Bobby Lutz's club is a formidable foe, led by sophomore forward Curtis Withers and senior guard Demon Brown. But somehow, some way Knight and Co. will get it done.
Florida (5) vs. Manhattan (12) -- Manhattan's Bobby Gonzalez is one of the rising stars in coaching, and senior guard Luis Flores can flat-out play. But after facing the competition in the tough SEC, Florida is ready for this first-round challenge. Coach Billy Donovan's kids have developed good chemistry, and I feel the Gators will win in a close battle.
Washington (8) vs. UAB (9) -- Washington is a young team with an explosive little guy, 5-9 sophomore Nate Robinson. The Huskies came on strong at the end of the season, ending Stanford's unbeaten season and beating Arizona three times (a feat that had never been done since Lute Olson has coached the Wildcats). But UAB gets good guard play from senior Morris Finley and sophomore Carldell Johnson. UAB has been underrated and played tough competition in Conference USA, and I give the Blazers the edge in this game.
Providence (5) vs. Pacific (12) -- The Friars really need to regroup after losing three straight games. Earlier, the Friars were playing super basketball. With Ryan Gomes and Co., they should have too much firepower for veteran coach Bob Thomas and Pacific (who lost to Duke by 13 this season).
Alabama (8) vs. Southern Illinois (9) -- Alabama has faced a tough SEC schedule. Sophomore forward Kennedy Winston can flat-out play, and junior guard Earnest Shelton is underrated as a scorer. That combo will be too tough for the Salukis, who hail from from the Missouri Valley Conference. By the way, Alabama coach Mark Gottfried learned a lesson several years ago when he didn't get into the Big Dance because of a weak nonconference schedule. He changed his philosophy, and it's paid off.
Syracuse (5) vs. BYU (12) -- BYU beat Oklahoma State, which is arguably the best nonconference win of any Mountain West team. The Cougars feature a dynamite big man, 6-11 senior center Rafael Araujo, who could cause problems inside for the Orangemen. But I feel that a number of factors will put Syracuse over the top: the 2-3 zone; the ability of sophomore guard Gerry McNamara to shoot from the perimeter; the winning experience from last year's tournament; and Hakim Warrick, who is playing as well as any forward in America right now. These factors give the edge to coach Jim Boeheim and the defending national champions.

MTV Movie Awards Fashion Face-Off: Selena Gomez vs. Emma Stone
They are two of the hottest young stars on the planet, one in music and one in the movies.
And both showed up on the red carpet of the MTV Movie Awards last night.
They are two of the hottest young stars on the planet, one in music and one in the movies.
And both showed up on the red carpet of the MTV Movie Awards last night.
In many ways, Selena Gomez's lips stole the show at last night's Billboard Music Awards. See what we mean HERE and try not to get too upset over it.
But the young singer also made headlines with her lower extremities, specifically her right led, which peaked out from underneath a lovely dress Selena wore to the event.
It doesn't rhyme with any other words, but how does orange stack up against other colors when it comes to celebrity fashion?
That's the question at the center of this THG Face-Off, as Kim Kardashian goes up against Selena Gomez and Amy Adams. All three recently attended public events in similar shaded dresses and all three looks very pretty in them.
Someday, Miley Cyrus and/or Selena Gomez will be nominated for a Grammy Award.
Until then, however, we're happy to give these young stars something to fight over at the event: the title of THG Fashion Face-Off Champion!
Despite the obligatory death threats that come with being Justin Bieber's love interest, Selena Gomez was named Favorite Breakout Artist at the People's Choice Awards last night. Good for her. She also performed live, and sounded great.
How will she take fare against Taylor Swift in a Fashion Face-Off, though? That's up for debate ... and your votes! Who was dressed best at the event? Do you prefer Taylor's flowy dress to Selena's form-fitting number? Vote now ...
Taylor Swift may have stolen many of the headlines at the MTV Video Music Awards, due to her Kanye West-inspired performance, but two other young female artists also graced the white carpet.
Selena Gomez and Miranda Cosgrove posed for photographers at the event, each choosing a vastly different dress than the other. But that's what makes a THG Fashion Face-Off so exciting.
The men of Twilight weren't the only representatives of this franchise to show up at last night's taping of the Teen Choice Awards.
While Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are battling it out in their own Fashion Face-Off, Ashley Greene has her lovely hands full with Selena Gomez.
Blake Lively vs. Selena Gomez. Gossip Girl vs. Wizards of Waverly Place.
Budding rivalries in the making, both of them. But one thing is for sure - both young starlets look gorgeous in gay blazers, as seen out on the town recently.
Disco has long been out of style.
While Lady Gaga can wear sequins, sparkles and sing about riding on a disco stick and make just about anything work, most celebs are not Lady Gaga.
There's no place for friendship on the red carpet.
Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez may be BFFs, but you'd never know it from the face-off below.
Selena Gomez is a busy woman.
She sings, she acts, she's an ambassador for UNICEF.
Kristen Stewart appeared to have a message on the Teen Choice Awards' red carpet last night: hands off!!!
The Twilight Saga star wore a dress with spikes - yes, actual spikes - as she posed for photographs. Was she sending everyone a message? I'm the property of Robert Pattinson. Stay away!

Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES students plant trees at Arbor Day ceremony
Students from the Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES Work Study Program and heavy equipment and building trades programs came together to commemorate Arbor Day on April 25.
Dozens of students from special education and career and technical education programs worked with Operations and Maintenance and instructional staff to plan the event and plant the trees. The students planted six pear trees on the grounds of the Richard E. Ten Haken Educational Services Center. Five of the trees were planted along the eastside of the building and one was near the northwestern corner in the Dr. Michael C. O'Laughlin garden.
District Superintendent JoAnne Antonacci spoke briefly before the planting of the tree in the garden. Antonacci touched on the significance of Arbor Day and thanked the students and staff for their work. She also thanked Cobble Creek Nursery and Sara's Garden and Nursery for their donations of the trees.
Three students read a poem before the planting of the tree – Kevin Avery, a 12th-grader from Holley in the heavy equipment program; Jeffrey VanOrden, a ninth-grader from Holley in the building trades program; and Michael Cringoli, a student from Hilton in the Work Study Program.
After the tree planting, students and staff signed a poster commemorating the event. The poster will be displayed in the WEMOCO building on campus along with a photo from the tree planting.

Fonterra needs a different approach if it wants to ensure success, writes John Lancashire.
If Fonterra wants to fulfil its potential and, at the same time, become more environmentally sustainable it needs to start acting more like a food company. It also needs to work on its image.
With the avalanche of articles, reports and interviews after the melamine and botulism "incidents" involving the dairy company, it would be expected that measures would have been taken to stop repeats.
The so-called "independent" internal report on the botulism crisis by Fonterra and chaired by an independent member of its board, presented 33 recommendations largely about the time it took to pick up the seriousness of the situation, and the need to develop a social media strategy and improve communications.
Action had already been taken with the appointment of new communications chief Kerry Underhill. Perhaps one of his first tasks could be to unravel the unseemly media exposure of the split between Fonterra and AgResearch over who was responsible for the wrong interpretation on the presence/ absence of the botulism organism.
The report also criticised the "Fortress Fonterra" philosophy, again highlighting inadequate communication planning and skills.
A separate report on food safety aspects of the" incidents" has reassured Food Safety Minister Nikki Kaye that we have a world- leading system, which she rather simplistically suggests just needs a few tweaks to deal with some new trading relationships.
We live in hope one final report from the Ministry of Primary Industry will throw more light on what actually went wrong, so that such a shambles will not reoccur.
The recent cancelling of a supply contract with Fonterra by the huge French food corporation Danone and their claim of hundreds of millions of dollars - which could be over half of Fonterra's earnings last year and will, according to one economist, cost individual dairy farmers $43,000 - shows the botulism issue is not going to go away quickly.
However, that is only part of the problem. In a series of recent addresses, Fonterra chief executive officer Theo Spierings has talked more about sustainability and the environment, than the food industry.
Despite being fairly critical of the report from the parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Jan Wright, on "water quality in New Zealand", which he called "in the past and looking backwards", Spierings did admit Fonterra was 8 to 10 years behind the Europeans in tackling these issues.
Despite expecting a 2.5 to 3 per cent growth this year, he admitted "we can't keep growing in this way before hitting a wall in terms of sustainability and the environment".
Nevertheless, our biggest company with more than 90 per cent of the nation's milk supply and 25 per cent of our merchandise exports has clearly a huge role to play in assisting the Government to achieve its goal of doubling primary exports by 2025.
It was news to many to hear Fonterra had presented a 10- year growth plan to the Government, and it would be interesting to see how this is going to be achieved given the constraints identified above by the CEO.
Although Fonterra seems fairly gung-ho about future growth prospects , there is an increasing opinion from Rabobank and KPMG among others that dairy prices are going to take a hit this year largely as a result of big increases in United States production and changes in the European Union support mechanisms.
New Zealand has also lost its place as the world's lowest cost producer of milk. There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that the alternative feeds which used to comprise 10 per cent of farm expenses 20 years ago now make up 25 per cent of costs.
Interest costs have risen because of the huge debt carried by the dairy sector, probably up to $35-40 billion, and the Reserve Bank has flagged substantial increases in interest rates next year.
However, the real problem with Fonterra, as illustrated by the melamine and botulism scandals, is that they are in the food business but they do not "think" food.
This is not surprising as 50 per cent of its directors are farmers, with a number of others having outside interests in farming.
The shareholders council also represents the interests of farmers. That makes it inevitable that Fonterra is really just a big farmer with an outstanding manufacturing capability tacked on.
It, therefore, comes as a surprise that Fonterra's chief executive officer claims their business model is 20 years ahead of the rest of the world.
If it was that good, then why haven't they recognised that becoming a true food company would add value to their product, instead of the current emphasis on cheap commodities.
It would reduce pressure on the environment as there would be less need for more cows to produce more low-value milk.
This is not a new idea but maybe its time has come. As Jan Wright puts it, if we carry on increasing cow numbers we may just hold the line on environmental sustainability. Wouldn't it be nice to have a better target than that?

Creating a Lulu Book Cover with Pixel
Last month, I dove into LyX, a graphical LaTeX typesetting program for Linux. Because LyX produces commercial quality documents, it's an ideal match for the Lulu.com self-publishing Web site.
I'm reasonably certain most authors send material that comes from a standard word-processing program, such as Microsoft Word. Look back at the article in the December 2006 issue of LJ where I show you some output between a word processor and LyX to see what a difference it makes for your final product.
This time, I finish our book publishing tutorial. Publishing to Lulu.com is a two-step process. First, you need to upload your finished text files to Lulu. Then, you need to design a cover for the final product.
After Lulu accepts your text file, it asks you to format or upload a cover for the book. You have two choices: use one of Lulu's predesigned cover backgrounds, or upload a custom book cover that you created.
The sample book covers Lulu provides vary and may suit your publication just fine. If you decide to use one of those, the on-line system will help you add text to the image. Lulu's on-line program will place the author, ISBN and copyright notice for you as well. However, creating a book cover yourself is a great opportunity to examine Pixel.
In my estimation, Pixel is not a direct competitor of The GIMP. Pixel is a commercially produced application that runs on many operating systems. The Pixel Web site (www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel) notes at least six different operating systems, including Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
By its own description, Pixel seems suited for advanced graphic artists. In fact, the first non-beta version of Pixel should include Photoshop plugins and .psd import and export. See www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=60 for more details and a list of features for the next release.
Pixel is not free. It is available as a demonstration software package, and users can buy a license for $32 US. This fee includes unlimited support and all updates until the next major release.
The demonstration copy does have a significant drawback. Any image created with Pixel contains a Pixel watermark. There is also a small "nag" screen reminding you to buy the product to get full use of the software. So, you can't use any graphics produced with the demo version.
I don't find this objectionable. Pixel's author intends to steer the software to compete with the leaders in the graphics industry. Although the expected version 1 price is around $100 US, it's still less than the competition. I like competition; it helps keep prices down.
Because Pixel is not open source or free, it's not likely you will find it in a major distribution's repository. So, download a demo copy from www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=4. Installation is straightforward. Download the Linux .tar file, unpack it and click on the file to start program installation. Follow the instructions on-screen to finish the setup.
Once complete, start Pixel from the command line or your system menu, and the home screen appears (Figure 1). At first impression, Pixel looks similar to other top-line commercial software. It's also different from The GIMP, because it covers your entire screen. In addition, many tools are in full view by default (Figure 2).
The screen layout is clean. Some of the icons are a bit troublesome to identify due to their size. But, trying to find hundreds of unique pictures for tools must be challenging for any programmer.
Now you're ready to begin. Because Pixel is still in beta release, documentation is scarce. In March 2006, the Pixel support forum explained that no documentation is ready as the focus is on product development. There is a help system available by pressing F1 (Figure 3), but currently no embedded tutorial exists. Even without much documentation, Pixel's layout is somewhat intuitive. If you know Adobe Photoshop, you're in luck—it's nearly the same.
For Lulu.com book covers: Inkscape and The GIMP
Not sure if things have changed since the time this article was written, but I just created a book cover for my LyX-produced work for Lulu.com (dust-cover hardbound book) using their single-file upload feature using Inkscape and The GIMP. Perhaps they use a different mechanism for laminated hardbounds or paperbacks.
For dust-jacket covered hardbound books at least, Lulu.com calculates what the page dimensions should be and tells you them in plain English. You then just manually enter them to create a new document in Inkscape (I also used guidelines for bleeds, margins, etc.).
I modified a huge raster image in The GIMP and saved it as a PNG. Inkscape easily allowed me to import the PNG and then do the rest of the design within Inkscape, saving as a PDF to Lulu.com's specs with no problem at all.
**And** I did all this, including the LyX work for the interior pages, on an 8-year-old Mac running a Mac OS X version that came out more than 4 years ago (10.4). I was worried I wouldn't be able to do stuff like this with this machine.
Title of sample book
Why not rename the book from "The Pain of Computers Without Linux" to "The Pain (and Point?) of Having to Purchase Commercial Software for Linux"?
or ...
... even Inkscape for that matter
Why wouldn't you base the graphics part on GIMP rather than a commercial software package that nobody uses to begin with? That's likely why the article has been rated so low by everyone.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Ricardo Reis Veiga: Architect of Chevron's Fraud In Ecuador

Chevron CEO John Watson is the one person ultimately responsible for his company's refusal to abide by the rule of law and pay a $9.5 billion judgment for toxic dumping on in Ecuador's rainforest. But we cannot forget that another high-level Chevron executive currently in Watson's employ –Ricardo Reis Veiga – did much of Chevron's corrupt "dirty work" in the South American nation and deserves to be held accountable for his leading role in the misconduct.

A amostra não probabilística foi constituída por 510 vítimas de violência em contexto familiar. A violência física e a psicológica foram os tipos mais reportados, afetando 87,8% e 69,6% das pessoas estudadas, seguindo-se a violência financeira (47,5%), sexual (7,5%) e a negligência (6,5%). A maioria (74,1%) dos respondentes indicou mais de um tipo de violência. As vítimas, na maioria mulheres, tinham uma média de idade de 70,7 anos. A maioria dos agressores pertencia à família nuclear, nomeadamente, cônjuges ou companheiros, filhos/enteados e filhas/enteadas. Contudo, observaram-se diferenças no agressor consoante o gênero da vítima. Os resultados indicam que a violência não é um fenômeno uniforme, apresentando-se sob diferentes configurações.; [EN] This article presents data on violence against persons aged 60 years or older and living in Portugal for at least 12 months.

The non-probabilistic sample included 510 victims of violence in family settings. Physical and psychological violence were the most common (87.8% and 69.6%, respectively). Financial violence was reported by 47.5% of the victims, followed by sexual assault (7.5%) and neglect (6.5%). The majority of victims (74.1%) reported more than one type of violence. Victims were mostly women, and mean age was 70.7 years. Most of the perpetrators belonged to the nuclear family, namely spouses or partners, sons/ sons-in-law, and daughters/daughters-in-law. However, differences were observed according to victim's gender.

We present the largest population-based epidemiological study to date using data provided by the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) network. The study population consisted of 191 cases of MKS identified between January 1990 and December 2011 in 34 European registries. The mean prevalence was 2.6 per 100 000 births in a subset of registries with good ascertainment. The prevalence was stable over time, but regional differences were observed. There were 145 (75.9%) terminations of pregnancy after prenatal diagnosis, 13 (6.8%) fetal deaths, 33 (17.3%) live births. In addition to cystic kidneys (97.7%), encephalocele (83.8%) and polydactyly(87.3%), frequent features include other central nervous system anomalies (51.4%), fibrotic/cystic changes of the liver (65.5%) of cases with post mortem examination) and orofacial clefts (31.8%). Various other anomalies were present in 64 (37%) patients. As nowadays most patients are detected very early in pregnancy when liver or kidney changes may not yet be developed or may be difficult to assess, none of the anomalies should be considered obligatory for the diagnosis. Most cases (90.2%) are diagnosed prenatally at 14.3±2.6 (range 11–36) gestational weeks and pregnancies are mainly terminated, reducing the number of LB to one-fifth of the total prevalence rate. Early diagnosis is important for timely counseling of affected couples regarding the option of pregnancy termination and prenatal genetic testing in future pregnancies. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z Dignity therapy and its effect on the survival of terminally ill Portuguese patients http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/3687 Título: Dignity therapy and its effect on the survival of terminally ill Portuguese patients Autor: Julião, Miguel; Nunes, Baltazar; Barbosa, António Resumo: The empirical literature regarding the effect of psychotherapy on the survival of cancer patients is highly contested. Dignity therapy (DT) is a brief, individualized intervention, which gives terminally ill patients the opportunity to convey memories and important disclosures and to prepare a legacy document . The aim of this study was to determine whether those patients randomized to DT along with SPC had a survival advantage over those randomized to SPC alone.; Dignity therapy and its effect on the survival of terminally ill Portuguese patients Descrição: Letter to the Editor 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Is it useful to ask "Está deprimido?" ("Are you depressed?") to terminally-ill Portuguese patients? Results from outpatient research http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/3560 Título: Is it useful to ask "Está deprimido?" ("Are you depressed?") to terminally-ill Portuguese patients? Results from outpatient research Autor: Julião, Miguel; Nunes, Baltazar; Sobral, Maria Ana; Dias, Daniela; Inocêncio, Inês; Barbosa, António Resumo: OBJECTIVES: Depression is a serious psychological problem in the palliative care setting. Brief screening tools for depression are lacking and need to be brief and acceptable. This study aimed to identify the properties of the single Portuguese question "Está deprimido?" ("Are you depressed?") to screen for depression. METHODS: Retrospective study from 100 patient's medical records identifying the answers on the single Portuguese question for depression "Está deprimido?" ("Are you depressed?") and the HADS depression sub-scale, using a score ≥11 on the latter as the gold standard for clinically significant depressive symptoms. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative values were calculated. RESULTS: Response rate for the single Portuguese question for depression was 100%. Prevalence of depression symptoms (HADS-d ≥ 11) was 43%. To the question "Está deprimido?" 60 patients responded "yes." Sixteen patients who replied "no" to the single question had clinically significant depressive symptoms based on the HADS depression sub-scale. The single tool had 65.2% sensitivity, 49.2% specificity and 50.0% and 64.4% of positive predictive and negative values, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS: In this first preliminary retrospective Portuguese study, the single question for depression has shown poor screening properties. Future research in larger and mixed patientś samples of Portuguese terminally ill is necessary to find more accurate and robust properties of this brief tool. 2015-05-20T00:00:00Z
