Hot answers tagged open-source
Good question, and impossible to answer, but here's my suggestion: 1) Pick out what you really want to improve Since you're not in control of the project yourself, this boils down to your ability to convince the right people. Also, since you're not implementing the issues yourself, you need to find a way to get other people to do something that you wants ...
Feedback We use UserVoice for feedback. Users get 10 votes each and can create or vote on something (an idea, bug report, critique, etc) and assign up to 3 votes to each item. Once they're out of 10 votes they can't do anything until we close or complete an item they voted on, at which point their points for that item are refunded. It works great as a way ...

Open Source is only as good as the people who step up to work on it -- and given what I've heard about the way Open Source work is usually done, probably quite difficult to work on UX for.

My last real job involved a lot of this kind of work. There was never an easy answer.

Check out Skype's Screen Sharing feature (it's free). I'm planning on using Skype for this very purpose in a couple months. I'll be writing a "Skype Screen Sharing with Steve" blog post to try to encourage participation.

I had this problem as well a short while ago. What I did was write out a list of tasks and have participants record a screencast of themselves doing them, while thinking out loud. Later on when you watch the screencast, if there are parts that you would want them to re-do, you could ask them to do a second round. What is the advantage for you in ...
Google Hangouts On Air allow to share your screen and the resulting video is automatically uploaded to YouTube.

If you are looking to contribute to open-source projects, its probably helpful to know what skills you have. A solid understanding of User Interfaces combined with some basic understanding of HTML+CSS will be beneficial.

Seems like a sensible thing to do with your time, well before you do the things suggested in Jørn's answer, is to first ask the project developers if they want your help. Specify what your expertise is, and what you can and can't offer. If the devs don't reply, aren't interested, or are too arrogant to accept criticism (not that common, but it does happen), ...
There is one project (Open Usability) which is trying to fill the gap between programmers and usability experts in the open source world. But I am not sure how active it still is.

I believe qTrace is the tool that fit to your needs. Besides, you can easily submit the defect to bug tracker system such as Bugzilla, Jira ...

This sounds a lot like the question on Software to record a user completing a task. I think my answer of selenium would work for you too as you're recording a browser.

This question also addresses a larger issue that FOSS projects, and all corporations face: how to weed out bad suggestions and ill-informed UI opinions from truly useful ones.

Google Hangouts On Air is a good option for remote usability testing. It provides screensharing capabilities, allows uses to easily re-connect and the recording is automatically uploaded to YouTube.

Fresh Rhubarb Pie
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 45 mins
With Rhubarb season soon coming into focus I wanted to share this wonderful recipe. I discovered this recipe on the internet on AllRecipes.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1 1⁄3 cups white sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (9 inch) pastry for double-crust pie
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine sugar and flour.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of it over pastry in pie plate. Heap rhubarb over this mixture.
- Sprinkle with remaining sugar and flour.
- Dot with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust.
- Place pie on lowest rack in oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm or cold.
Most Helpful
I love the pie, although I wish the filling were a bit thifcker. It is very juicy. I thought the flour in the filling was a lot though, so I reduced it to 4 T. Turns out I should have made it as is. However, this pie is just delectable as is so 5 stars since the mistake was mine!
Excellent, even though I didn't follow directions very well and mixed the rhubarb with the sugar and flour before adding it to the pie. Unlike most other pies I make, the filling wasn't too runny.
High marks for simplicity. I've never eaten rhubarb pie before so I didn't know what to expect. It turns out that I really just don't like rhubarb.

The viral marketing campaign for director Ridley Scott's Prometheus kicked off with a bang late last month with the release of a TEDTalk video from the year 2023 that revealed Guy Pearce's character to be Peter Weyland, half of the Weyland-Yutani corporation that employed the Nostromo in Alien. The most recent viral video was discovered today when attendees of the Prometheus panel at WonderCon were given Weyland business cards that directed them to a viral website and, ultimately, the new viral video, which includes a disturbing appearance by Michael Fassbender as the android David. If you're jumpy, you may want to watch this video with a friend because it definitely gave us all a start the first time we watched it.
Prometheus was written by Damon Lindelof (Cowboys and Aliens) from a script originally written by Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour). The cast includes Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green and Patrick Wilson.
If you're a fan of Ridley Scott movies, check out the latest chapter in our Tales from Development Hell series, which features Scott's "Alien on a train" movie that never was.

4Stand in the puddle and walk around in it
5You might want to wiggle your toes in it or do anything you want to
6When done, don't put shoes and socks back on. I suggest you hose off your feet or put your feet in a bucket and wash off the mud. If you go inside for some water, make sure theres no carpet near where you need to get the water from.

Is it possible to customize the WebSphere access logs (through code or configuration)? I see in the Console that WebSphere supports either NCSA common or combined formats, but there's no option for custom formats.
I was hoping to customize the access logs to include additional info that will assist in debugging such as proxy, vip, LB, response time, etc.
If it isn't possible, I'm open for out of the box ideas. The key is I'm trying to get additional info logged for debugging. Is log4j an option? Maybe custom trace logs?

Fabio Capello: The Bulgarian National Team Needs More Confidence
The legendary Italian football coach Fabio Capello was in Sofia on Friday as a part of the European tour of the UEFA Champions League Cup, organized by UniCredit. Fans of the game were able to get close to the most prestigious trophy in club football.
Capello, who has coached some of the continent's top teams, like Milan, Real Madrid, Roma, Juventus, and the national teams of England and Russia, was kind enough to speak to Novinite.com and Novinite.bg.
Mr. Capello, what steps must the Bulgarian national team take, in order to qualify for a European Championship or a World Cup? It seems like yet again, we were missing something.
I know the Bulgarian team well. I followed its results and watched several games. This team can improve, and you were close to making it through. The draw against Italy was a very good result. It seems, you must find a little more confidence, which is very important.
What is your impression of Bulgarian club football?
You cannot reach the top of European club football without investing money. Only when there is money to buy the world's top players, can your teams compete with the rest. That is how Italian clubs are progressing now.
What is your opinion of the EUR 100 M paid for Gareth Bale by Real Madrid, keeping in mind UEFA's "financial fair play" initiative?
I have no clue what UEFA will decide, but that is a lot of money, in my opinion.
Now you live in Russia, and coach their national team, which qualified for the World Cup. Can you see a Russian club making it to the top of the Champions League?
No, not currently. It will take some time. The level of the Russian league is not like that of the German, Spanish, English and Italian ones. There is plenty of money, but the best players still choose to go to the top 4 leagues. This may change in time, and then they can challenge for the Champions League.

38 year old woman | Summerville, SC, United States | Seeking men 35-41 within 50 miles of Charleston, SC
Trying to find out if I have been missing something in my life.
I am a fun loving girl who loves a surprise from time to time, but I usually plan things at least a week in advance. I love to talk and think. I can argue a point into the ground with or without factual support. The discussion is the fun part for me. It's possible that at 35 I am still looking for a knight in shining armor. A girl has to have a fantasy. I love to watch movies and listen to music. I am not a terribly active person, but my be willing to change that if the right opportunity comes by. I love my friends and my animals. I am very sarcastic and witty. My sense of humor could be described as dry. I love to laugh. I am a jeans and t-shirt girl, but I clean up real nice. I am overweight, but have been trying to fix that with as little exercise as possible. There is a good possibility that I will say something inappropriate or off color. Just roll with it and laugh. I am ready to have some fun.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Swimming
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets
Middle of the Road
I loved being out in downtown Tucson. I am in SC now and love IOP and downtown Charleston. I loved Las Vegas when I was there too, but my absolute favorite place is a little city called Helen in Georgia.
College of Charleston, Charleston, SC
I love most music. I don't like COUNTRY or GOSPEL. My Faves are metal, rap and classic rock. I like to watch some tv. Anything from Saved by the Bell to Forensic Files. Food is a try it kind of thing.
I like to read and watch movies. Have always been interested in museums. I like to spend the day outside with plenty of bug spray. I am a people watcher, so I like to see what others are doing. It's not about nosy, it's about learning.
The last book I finished reading was "Polgara the Sorceress". I am usually reading 3 or 4 at any given time.

"LA VIRGEN DE BETANIA" Cùa by AleMich13
Cùa Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 17 photos
Betania is the most famous place in Cúa, and the only one that attracts visitors from all over the world. Why ? it doesn't seem a very touristic place. Well, it's not .The people who come here are attracted to this place because Virgin Mary has appeared in Betania several times since the 70's. So catholics and non catholics come to see why is this place considered miraculous and mystical... they come to say thanks, to pray or .. (of course) looking for a miracle.
In our case, we went to Betania from Caracas via Charallave (one hour and a half approx.), with a big basket of flowers (see picture) to offer to Our Lady of Betania. Anxious to get the place, there was quite a dissapointment with the extremely dry vegetation that accompanied us along the way from Caracas. BUT, while we were approaching Betania the landscape turned suddenly green and rainforest like! (see picture) The change seemed magical, miraculous! and we couldn't stop thinking that it had to be a Virgin's miracle...
Betania is a sacred place, so you should have that in mind. It means that you should behave there the same way you behave at a church or any other temple.
To know more about Our Lady of Betania go to:
A lot of people believe that our Lady of Betania has done a lot of miracles. Each of the acknoledgements that you see in this picture was brought by a person who wanted to thank something to the Virgin (such as the cure of a disease or any other miracle).
Reviews (3)
Comfortable shoes and summer clothes. It's a good idea to bring a candle or a bunch of flowers. You should put them... more travel advice
Cúa is located near Charallave, a small town located an hour and a half from Caracas. more travel advice
This is the bridge that leads you to the place where Virgin Mary has appeared since the 70's . Must people cross it... more travel advice

We're pretty hard on our hands, which is why it's key to have a serious hand cream in our grooming stable. Made with pure Dead Sea minerals, this smooth, quick-absorbing lotion effectively hydrates dry skin and rough fingers. We use it year-round to keep our hands in healthy condition.
This hand cream is worth every cent. It goes on well, penetrates nicely and has a wonderful comforting scent. It is useful for any skin type and especially useful for people who have occupations that cause their hands to get dry. It is a staple in my collection of go tos.5
I didn't get this in a bb, but saw this on the site and HAD to share my thoughts with others. I've been using this hand cream for about a year, though usually in the winter. It is by far the best hand cream I have ever used.
I have very sensitive skin and usually break out in eczema during the winter on my hands. While creams for eczema do help my hands, they sometimes burn when I first apply it. This NEVER burns, even if they get to the point of cracked and bleeding! It sinks in, but keeps them hydrated. i can apply it at work and not get grease all over my keyboard and the scent doesn't drive me nuts... which most creams have overpowering scents. This smells a little like powder, mixed with something "clean" or "ocean."
I keep one at my desk, one in my purse, and one next to my bed. It is a cream I will never go without! $21 isn't cheap for a hand cream, but I promise you, you won't regret purchasing it or using your points on it.
My favourite hand cream, foot cream, and body lotion--and I've tried a million of 'em. Creamy, non-greasy, and provides instant relief. I love the clean, non-offensive, slightly old-fashioned and mild scent, but a friend I gifted a set to said she found the scent medicinal. (She's wrong!)5
I really love this hand cream. I'm very particular when it comes to lotions of any kind and this one has definitely become a favorite of mine. I purchased a full size of this after I used up the sample I received and recently purchased another sample size for my bag. It has a lovely smell and it's so soft on my skin! It's not sticky feeling and absorbs very quickly. I still use this product almost every day and it really has made a difference in my hands. Would definitely recommend!5

As a reflection of the
importance of advances in the life sciences, the European
Parliament has been considering, at the EU level, the policy
and legislative implications of human genetics and other emerging
A framework for research
The Parliament's role is to delimit, along with the
Council of Ministers, the broad policy and legislative framework
under which the European Commission, the EU's executive
arm, can operate.
One of the functions of the Parliament's Committee
on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy is to
assess fundamental or pre-industrial research policy. In that
context, it was the first port of call for the Commission's
draft proposal for the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).
The full Parliament then considered the Committee's
suggested amendments when voting on the adoption of FP6. The
Council of Ministers, in its turn, considered the proposal
under the co-decision procedure, leading to the adoption of
the agreed Framework Programme.
Eye on industry
The Committee is also responsible for considering matters
relating to the EU's common commercial and industrial
policy. This includes setting standards and competition rules
for new technologies in specific industrial and service sectors.
Emerging biotechnologies, such as genetically modified organisms,
fall under the Committee's remit. The Committee also
addresses matters relating to pharmaceuticals and biotech

Ash Rosshandler created a one-stop shop for charitable gifts.
Who: Ash Rosshandler
Age: 34
Where: Melbourne
Company: Karma Currency
What they've done: started up an online shop for charitable gifts
"I thought a charity gift voucher can also work in a corporate environment whereby a corporation says 'look we want to give $10,000 to charity. You've all got $50 in your inbox and you decide where that money will go'. I fell in love with the idea a bit more at that point."

When Ash Rosshandler was looking for an engagement present for friends who had everything, he decided to buy them a goat.
Then it occurred to him that his friends might prefer to donate a water tank, or a pig, or mosquito nets more than a goat. Why not let them choose themselves?
This gift conundrum became the seed from which the not-for-profit website Karma Currency grew.
Karma Currency allows users to buy a gift voucher in 'Karma Currency'. The recipient of the gift voucher then browses through a catalogue of hundreds of charitable and ethical causes on the site and decide where that money goes.
Karma Currency is not just for friends and family. Ash quickly realised the idea was one that could easily be used by the corporate sector as a way of keeping staff engaged with their company.
"I thought a charity gift voucher can also work in a corporate environment whereby a corporation says [to its staff]: 'Look we want to give $10,000 to charity. [Each employee now has] $50 in your inbox. You decide where that money will go'.
"I fell in love with that idea just a little bit more at that point," says Ash. "From there we went and met with charities and did some due diligence and spoke to them and said 'Look is this a good idea?' and they encouraged us to go forward with it."
The 'us' refers to the team that Ash has built up developing Karma Currency, a mix of friends and people he met along the way including a lawyer, accountant and IT person. Karma Currency now has a board of five, plus advisers. It has also managed to get through the intensive process of becoming listed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a not-for-profit organisation so that gift vouchers bought on Karma Currency are tax deductible.
"We've had lots of challenges setting up a non profit foundation. You need constitutions and trust deeds and to get deductible gift recipient status, that was a whole journey too. For the ATO, it was a novel idea that someone should get a tax deduction from a charity gift voucher. So we had to prove to them that it was a great charitable act. It was a challenge but you sort of forget all the hard bits and try and enjoy the good parts."
Karma Currency now has more than 150 charities onboard who promote their charitable gifts on the website, with everything from goats and pigs to even purchasing the cost of producing a brochure for Ovarian Cancer Australia.
"About 3000 vouchers have been purchased. Then there's our charitable gift registry, so people for their birthdays and weddings are also setting up a registry just like you would at Myers or David Jones but instead of pots and pans and bed sheets they say I want to clear two miles of land mines, I want to rescue four gorillas, I want to educate ten kids or I want to give half an hour to cancer research."
Each charity is responsible for uploading what they have on offer, so the back-end of the site required some serious IT work to make it easy for the charities to use.
Although Karma Currency is a charity, it also needs money to stay afloat. At the same time, Ash wanted as much money going to the charities as possible. The solution was to add a $4.95 purchase charge to each currency purchase made on Karma Currency.
"If you buy a $50 voucher online we charge $54.95 and that entire $50 gets to the charity. The purchaser also picks a default charity so in twelve months times if the voucher was lost or forgotten about [the money still] goes to their charity of choice."
As the site has developed, Ash has found a whole new unexpected audience aside from what he terms as 'consumer' and 'corporate' customers.
"Philanthrobubs is a new thing we discovered," he says. "When we built the charitable gift registry for weddings we found a lot of parents setting it up for kids' birthdays, one and two-year-old birthdays. Because their baby kids have got too much stuff and they're worried about maybe getting a toy from China with lead paint on it. So they're saying: 'Hey why don't we give a few dollars to SIDS and Kids'. And they get their friends to contribute towards that.
"So we're learning all the time and we are open to the suggestions that come onto the site which is great."

Pasadena, CA
Dexter Morgan's killing spree might be coming to an end. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves indicated to Wall Street analysts Monday that Showtime's serial killer drama Dexter will enter its final season this summer. The craziest part? It seems like a piece of information he wasn't supposed to reveal just yet.
When asked about the future of Showtime, Moonves responded, "We have Ray Donovan coming on with Liev Schreiber, which comes on with Dexter's last season starting in June and then we have Masters of Sex." He followed the statement with a laugh that might have indicated he wasn't supposed to say that just yet. A Showtime spokesperson later told THR there's "nothing confirmed" about whether the series would continue beyond this season.
Dexter returns June 20.
Didn't they confirm the eighth season as the final season ages ago? Like pre-season seven?
I believe they did.
Yeah, they did. Shortly before seven began, so people would know seven wasn't the last season, they announced season eight was the end.
Love Dexter! I'm really going to miss it!

The Skorpian Chimera by CYBERDYNE101Watch
To prepare for God of War: Ascension, I've decided to change up the form of my Skorpian Collossus to imitate one of the bosses in the game: the mutated arm monsters formed when Megaera's parasites infest the arms of Aegaeon the Hecatonchires. I also wanted to use aspects from Cerberus of Dante's Inferno, where it oftentimes lies on the ground. In doing so, I've decided to all it the Skorpian Chimera, a combination of the basic Skorpian species that features the aspects of the Drones, Flyers, and Divers. Only Colossi are capable of "molting" into Chimera, but must change back when finished with its needs. The two biggest problems I've had with this form are the two extra limbs to keep it balance, especially with its heavy upper half. But either way, I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome.
That is so cool.
Dude this is epic
There is only one word that can describe this beauty: EPICNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like it's shitting an entire pilar of bricks, LOLMAO! XD
This is really cool, love the crazy monster look.
The Chimera is a combination of 3-4 DIFFERENT animals. It may look good but the name "chimera" doesnt seem to fit him nicely.
The purpose for "Chimera" is to signify the fourth and final stage of metamorphosis for few Skorpians: only the Colossi are capable of taking on this bestial form and being able to revert back.
Okay . . . I need a better weapon than the DMR if UNSC Command wants me to take that guy down.
LOL!!! I thought the Chimeras were from the game called Enmask Pigmask adventure.
what the hell is that thing in between his legs
Yeah, that's the part that pissed me off: it's a stand, to hold up its body. Without it, the upper half collapses. And nothing slimmer is strong enough.

Turntables On The Hudson Vol. 4, EP #1
Released By: TTOH/Giant Step Records
release description
From the joint label Turntables on the Huson/Giant Step Records comes the much anticipated 4th Volume of Nickodemus & Mariano's underground party 'Turntables on the Hudson.'
As New York natives, Nickodemus and Mariano are world-renowned for the legendary party they've created. The Turntables on the Hudson parties provide a unique atmosphere: a river to one side, a skyline to the other, and surrounded by the sound of live percussionists and DJ's flowing with the newest underground dance sounds. With each passing summer, the parties further define artistic musical vision and passion, solidifying its stance as a precious staple to New York's musical scene. Their music and compilations perfectly capture the vibe and essence of their parties. Like the previous compilations, Volume 4 EP #1 features many unreleased tracks from the family of DJ's, musicians and producers that contribute to the vibe and energy of this homegrown NYC event.
On side A, DJ/Producer Raeo creates an Eastern Dub entitled "Kaettekura." This track gives us a feeling of a calm new beginning to the EP. The second track, "Silhouettes" by The Beat Pharmacy, is a collage of Brazillian, African dubbed-out Funk. From NYC to France & Spain, this original sounding track has moved many dancefloors in the past few weeks. On the flip side, we have a new track by Zeb & Mariano, under the name Marzebian, called "Let it Ride." Be patient to see how the sweet vocal line over a tight midtempo beat builds into a dancefloor filler.
NYC's hottest new Latin, Funk band, "Radio Mundial," blesses us with an interlude of Rhythm & Soul that further exemplifies the vision of the Turntables on the Hudson vibe (Make sure to look out for their upcoming album on Palm Pictures).
Last but not least, a bonus track from Puerto Rico's own Local 12 entitled "Jesus el Beat." After 2 compilations of musical contributions, here's one more to keep the Hudson connected to the Caribbean!

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Nintendo has confirmed it won't launch the NX until next March — presumably after Sony's PlayStation 4 Neo, which is expected this fall. Will the move help the company's new hardware sales or hurt it?
Shenmue 3 broke records this week, with the fastest sprint to $1M in funding of any game, ever. Too bad the entire affair was based on a false premise.
At E3 this week, AMD revealed the formal specs on Fiji, its price points, and demonstrated form factors and its new concept system, dubbed Project Quantum.
Earlier today, Microsoft kicked off E3 with an incredibly solid stage show. It delivered loads of new games, unveiled the crazy "Elite" customizable controller, and it even announced an early access program called "Xbox Game Preview." But the most interesting part of today's event has to be the introduction of local 360 backwards compatibility on the Xbox One.
At its press conference last night, Sony casually sauntered on stage, slipped its hands nonchalantly into its pockets, offered up an expressive shrug, and won E3 2014. Microsoft and its legion of fans could do nothing but look on with envy as Sony unveiled hit after hit for the PS4. For all of Microsoft's talk about games, the only platform exclusive that might be a critical success — Halo 5 — was reduced to a 60-second-long pre-rendered clip. Sony, on the other hand, essentially showed off everything a gamer could want at E3: A new white PS4; a release date for PS Now and PlayStation TV; more details about the Morpheus VR headset; the beautiful art game No Man's Sky; and actual in-game/in-engine footage from three massive exclusives (LittleBigPlanet 3, Uncharted 4, and Metal Gear Solid 5).
Sony is bringing Grim Fandango back from the dead with a new remastered version on PS4 and Vita. One of the greatest adventure games of the past 20 years, back for another round? We can't wait.
At 12pm Eastern time (9am Pacific, 5pm UK), Nintendo will wrap up the major E3 press conferences with its own "digital event." Like last year, Nintendo won't put on a flashy stage show, instead opting for a televised pre-recorded stream. With the games industry's attention firmly on Sony and Microsoft, now would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to sneak up from behind with some exciting announcements. A live stream of the Nintendo E3 event is embedded below — and once the event begins, this post will be updated as a live blog.
Microsoft has finished up its E3 2014 unveil, and it's game heavy as promised — but why such reliance on pre-rendered footage?
PSN Now is coming to open beta on July 31, and more platforms are coming soon. Project Morpheus has three demos on the floor, but no big update on the ETA. However, the best news is the introduction of the PlayStation TV — the North American and European version of the Vita TV. So much more than just video games at Sony's conference.
Microsoft will kick off E3 this year with a press conference at 12:30 pm Eastern time (5:30pm UK, 9:30am Pacific). You can watch a live video feed of the Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing below (that's the official title of Microsoft's keynote, in case you were wondering). We will update this story with the largest news from the live event.
Time to wrap up one of the most exciting days in technology that we've seen in a long time. Earlier today we saw Microsoft's E3 presentation alongside Apple's WWDC keynote, but now it's time for part three of the triumvirate, Sony.

Community holds vigil for Carly FerroSeptember 27,2012Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
A candlelight vigil in memory of Carly Ferro was held Thursday evening on the front lawn of Rutland High School where Ferro was a student.A hundred or more students, teachers and administrators gathered in front of Rutland High School tonight to honor one of their own, Carly Ferro.
Ferro was killed Wednesday night as she walked out of work at the Discount Food Store & Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue and toward her father Ron Ferro in his car, as he waited parked in the parking lot for his daughter to finish.
Police say 23-year-old Alex Spanos of Rutland drove a white Camry into Ron Ferro's car that then struck Carly.

Reg: Not so regular
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 2/26/2009 (Issue 1709 - Between The Lines News)
Gentleman Reg, 'Jet Black'
This queer Canadian's fourth LP isn't as dark as a title like "Jet Black" lends itself to. The charmer, which is only a tad ho-hummy at the tail end, is Gentleman Reg's sashay into the States. And it's good stuff. After the surfer-dude smoothness of "Coastline," flecked with sweet electric guitar riffs, and "To Some It Comes Easy," a lyrically deft mellow rocker, he gives his brand of indie rock on his latest a glam sheen. "You Can't Get It Back," with a caffeinated chorus, sticks like gum to the ground, while bright and synthy "We're in a Thunderstorm" could cause a power surge: You can practically see all the disco lights sweeping across a sweaty plethora of dancing bods.
Reg (real name: Reg Vermue), who had a spot in John Cameron Mitchell's "Shortbus," sings like a supermodel looks. His voice is Kate Moss thin, breathy to the point of sometimes being swallowed by the arrangements, but it's irrefutably pretty - and best on "Rewind." One for the "Our Relationship Is Screwed (But I Still Sorta Love You)" iPod playlist, it aches with a looped goodbye-relationship refrain - "there's no point in going back when a masterpiece is crumbling" - emphasized with some honey-sweet harmonies. Come the final third, though, "Jet Black," produced by Dave Draves (Kathleen Edwards), loses its ear-wormy oomph, finishing duller than it started with airy arrangements that plod rather than pop. B-
Melinda Doolittle, 'Coming Back to You'
Melinda Doolittle's major annoyance - her "aw-shucks" face after getting kudos from the "American Idol" judges during season six - overshadowed her big voice. But - rejoice! - no more excruciating, overly modest look. Or any modesty, really. Her first album, a vocal showcase that escapes the drab-"Idol"-debut fate by relying on lesser-known covers, finds the smoky-voiced soul singer channeling Aretha and, at times, stepping in Tina Turner's black spike heels. Shy? Not anymore. "Dust My Broom" is a man-hating kiss-off given the Tina touch with Doolittle's fiery delivery, but elsewhere on "Coming Back to You" she's tackling yesteryear funk-soul with a modern facelift. "Fundamental Things," a Bonnie Raitt recording, sets the stage. And on it, producer Michael Mangini (Joss Stone) meshes an old-school Amy Winehouse sound with contemporary R&B - it's sexier than anyone'll remember the Tennessean being on "Idol." With '70s mainstay "Declaration of Love" (yes, the one Celine Dion covered), the Motown vibe is infectiously fun, and justifies comparisons to Diana Ross. And even if she occasionally dates herself - whimsical, string-lined "I'll Never Stop Loving You" could be the closing song to a black-and-white film - we can't help but do the time warp with her. That voice is a vacuum, and getting sucked up is hard to resist. B+
Also out
Rihanna, 'The Remixes'
When you've got it, flaunt it, they say. Which is exactly what this Caribbean Grammy no-shower and her really wise (or really poor) record label, are doing. Milking her 2007 album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," for the third time - a deluxe "Reloaded" edition followed the original release - the 12-track disc is (insert frown here) all radio edits. They're mostly tightly produced, including two mixes of "Umbrella" (The Lindbergh Palace Radio Edit fitted with gay-sound galore) and a sped-up "Push Up on Me."
Alison Lewis, 'A Mile Down Division'
The alt-rock virtue of Lucinda Williams meets country singer Miranda Lambert's rustic twang on this former Michigander's sophomore disc. Her honky-tonk-lite voice sells it, but there's a lot to drool over music-wise, like pulsating electric guitar riffs on "Hummingbird" and the cascading-like quality on "Earthquake." And if there's anything that shakes you like the 6.6 quake she references, it's her words - strong enough to knock you down.
Gene Dante, 'The Romantic Lead'
Got an ear for the out-there? Meshing rock and theater like they were born to be together, the "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" stage actor's music is like learning to drink beer. For those who acquire the taste for some theatrical crooning over glam-rock arrangements - or care to know a little more about Dante (or his really cool penis, which he boasts about on in-your-face "C*** Star"), getting drunk off this could be a cinch.Chris Azzopardi is a music whore who doesn't charge by the hour.

The University Archives in UNO Criss Library Archives & Special Collections is the official repository for materials related to UNO history. The collection includes publications from university offices and departments, course catalogs, yearbooks, budget materials, Board of Regents and Faculty Senate minutes, graduate and undergraduate theses, a significant collection of photographs, personal papers and organizational records, and more all documenting UNO history. Original and on-line copies of the YELLow Sheet and Gateway student newspapers are also available.
Do you have a question for Archives & Special Collections? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or complete our request form.
UNO's former bowling alley in the Milo Bail Student Center. The bowling alley was lost to growing space demands in the 1970s.

Materials documenting UNO history have always been collected and supervised by library staff members. Over 100 years of UNO history there have been five library areas or structures. The first was a separate room in Joslyn Hall on the original 24th and Pratt Street campus. The second library was a temporary structure between Joslyn Hall and Jacobs Gymnasium. When the university moved to the present campus in 1938 the library was located in room 220 of the current Arts & Sciences Hall. Space concerns prompted the construction of Gene Eppley Library in 1956, now the Eppley Administration Building. Criss Library, the fifth and current home of University Archives, was completed in 1976.
The newest digital collection from Criss Library, the University of Nebraska at Omaha's yearbooks, have been digitized and are now available from the Internet Archive and DigitalCommons@UNO.
Breakaway. The Omahan. The Gateway. Tomahawk. Maverick. The university's yearbook went by several names beginning as the Gateway then changing names to the Omahan, Tomahawk, and Breakaway before ending as the Maverick from 1973-1975. The first yearbook, the Gateway (1915-1927), shares its name with the university's longtime student newspaper. The Tomahawk endured as the campus publication's name the longest from 1936 through 1970. In addition to the name changes, users will notice the changing composition of the volumes over the years as materials and styles evolved.
Whatever the yearbook's name or format, users will find each volume keyword searchable or able to be read like a book online. Yearbooks typically include photos and information about students, events, and faculty. In addition to student organizations, athletics, the arts, and other activities, the yearbooks also present opportunities for alumni, current students, and interested researchers to investigate changing fashions, popular culture, advertisements, and events through the lens of the university's students.
This exciting project was made possible through the LYRASIS Digitization Collaborative – a Sloan Foundation grant-subsidized program that has made digitization easy and affordable for libraries and cultural institutions across the country.
Through the Collaborative's partnership with the Internet Archive, all items were scanned from cover- to-cover and in full color. You can choose from a variety of formats, page through a book choosing the "read online" option, download the PDF or search the full text version.
Copies of each volume of the yearbook are also available for use in Criss Library Archives & Special Collections. Contact Archives & Special Collections for further information.
