*Oprah Winfrey's headed back to Australia – but this time, through her network.
Discovery Networks International channel, Discovery Home and Health, will re-introduce a programming block from the OWN network, Winfrey's joint venture with Discovery Inc.
Beginning Aug. 4, OWN series including "Oprah's Next Chapter," "Super Soul Sunday," "America With Lisa Ling" (renamed from "Our America") and "The Oprah Winfrey Show: Behind The Scenes" will air in a weekly block on the channel, which is seen on pay-TV provider Foxtel in Australia.
The upcoming launch in Australia follows the recent debut of OWN programming in the U.K. on Discovery's TLC channel. DNI is looking to rollout other OWN programming internationally through its global lifestyle channel portfolio.
"OWN programming is the perfect complement to the lifestyle and entertainment shows airing on DNI's popular female flagship brands. With the block's successful launch in the U.K. now under our belts, we are primed to bring this robust offering to Australian audiences," said Luis Silberwasser, executive vice president and chief content officer at DNI.
IN 2010, Winfrey famously flew an entire studio audience of her talk show to Australia, where she filmed four episodes.

|Lutenist Deborah Fox of Pegasus Early Music will join this year's Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival at Finger Lakes Community College. She'll be joined by soprano Laura Heimes.
Pegasus Early Music will perform pieces by lutenist and composer John Dowland at the Friday, July 15 concert in FLCC's Student Center Auditorium. It's a festival debut for the ensemble, which performs a series of concerts showcasing music from the medieval to romantic era on period instruments.
Lutenist Deborah Fox will be joined by soprano Laura Heimes. Their LakeMusic program includes the light-hearted "Fine Knacks for Ladies," the love commentaries "Come Again" and "I Must Complain" and the darker toned "Sorrow Stay," among others.
"Each song is a gem, a mixture of poetry and melody," said Fox, who serves as the ensemble's artistic director. "They vary greatly in mood and affect, and the texts reveal the courtly rhetoric of the times as well as the full emotional range of human experience."
Also taking the stage opening night is revered pianist Jon Nakamatsu, who took part in LakeMusic during its 2014 season. He'll perform Schubert's "Four Impromptus Opus 90."
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. It is the first of the festival's four centerpiece concerts held at FLCC. Subsequent shows are planned as follows:
Sunday, July 17: "Jon Nakamatsu and Friends" features Nakamatsu on piano with co-artistic directors Kevin Kumar on violin and Amy Sue Barston on cello for a performance of the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio. The Finger Lakes Camerata, directed by FLCC adjunct music instructor Dennis Maxfield, will also take the stage.
Friday, July 22: "Giants of the Romantic Era" features Cesar Franck's Sonata in A major for piano and violin as well as Johannes Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor.
Sunday, July 24: "Season Finale – Audrey Andrist and Friends" is named for its centerpiece, pianist Andrist, who is back for her third season with the festival.
"Master Key" tickets for all four FLCC shows are $100 for general admission and $160 for patrons. Single concert tickets are $10 for students and $28 for general admission.
Additional free "pop-up" concerts are planned in Canandaigua for Monday, July 18, at 1 p.m. at Ferris Hills at West Lake; Tuesday, July 19, at noon at Wegmans, and then at 3:30 p.m. at Canandaigua Inn on the Lake; and on Thursday, July 21, at 10:30 a.m. at Wood Library.
The festival's annual Classical Blue Jeans concert at Bristol Harbour Resort in South Bristol is planned for 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 20. The casual concert will feature a wide range, from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Edgar "Yip" Harburg and Harold Arlen. Tickets, which include a barbecue dinner with the artists, are $50 for general admission, $30 for students under 18 or with a college ID, and $25 for children under 12.
Launched in 2005, LakeMusic began as a series of concerts in area churches. In 2012 festival organizers partnered with FLCC and relocated the festival's four formal main performances to the auditorium in the college's Student Center. LakeMusic's organizers strive to make chamber music accessible to those who may have had little exposure. From the stage, musicians introduce themselves and each piece, explaining why it was selected and offering background on the composer.
Tickets and more information are available on the festival's website, www.canandaigualakemusic.org by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling Aimee Ward at (585) 412-6353.

Greenfield firefighters collect for MDA while obeying law
GREENFIELD, Ind. - More than 1,100 central Indiana families look forward to Labor Day weekend every year as a time to raise money for a cause close to their hearts.
For years, the Greenfield Fire Department has used the intersection of U.S. 40 and State Road 9 to collect donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
This year, the 'Fill the Boot' campaign has hit a roadblock. A city ordinance now prohibits roadside solicitation. It was put into place to end panhandling on the streets.
The other hurdle is the growing liability of the firefighters and the city.
"I believe in what they are doing, but I have an obligation to the citizens of Greenfield," Greenfield Mayor Chuck Fewell said.
The fire department said this won't stop them -- they will work with the city to find a solution.
In the meantime, firefighters will be accepting donations at their stations. Last year the department raised $17,000 for the MDA.

Casual macro with the 1 Nikkor 70-300
Jul 4, 2014
Weather is not cooperating (should be better, tomorrow). In the mean time, I thought that I would test out the reputed macro capabilities of the new lens. Here's a spider in her web taken hand-held and cropped a bit with a touch of NR and sharpening in CNX2. Not altogether sharp (no stacking and held-held are to blame) but a keeper by my amateur standards.

Intel creates Linux version of its app store for netbooks
Encouraged by early results on Windows, Intel said today it will add a beta test version of popular Intel AppUp Center for Linux.
The Intel AppUp Center has a wide range of apps for netbooks, which often don't have the horsepower to run most PC applications. These apps are tuned to run without a lot of bells and whistles. That's why they can run on any netbook, adding very little cost.

As Steve Belichick used to tell his son, "The hay is in the barn."
With the draft now less than two weeks away, teams are pretty much done with the evaluation process. Draft boards are locked, and preparation for the three-day team-building marathon is just about complete. The only thing left for many teams are a few more pre-draft visits, the final step in the appraisal of a possible prospect.
Each team is allotted 30 pre-draft visitors, and each team uses them differently. Some rip through them as soon as possible, while others use them judiciously. The Patriots have spread them out throughout the post-combine, pre-draft calendar — so far, they have brought a wide variety of collegians to Gillette Stadium, from much-ballyhooed prospects like Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Michigan outside linebacker/defensive end Brandon Graham, Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant to lesser known players like University of California defensive lineman Tyson Alualu and University of Washington defensive end/outside linebacker Daniel Te'o-Nesheim.
In Foxboro, pre-draft visits focus primarily on meeting the coaches and the rest of the folks in the building, as well as film study. Players are quizzed about what they would do in certain on-field situations. Prospects also get a tour of the facility, and meet the players who are on the roster who may be in the building.
According to former NFL personnel man Mike Lombardi, the top priority for many of the teams during a pre-draft visit is use the time to build on what they learned about a prospect in their 15-minute interview at the combine. You're not giving the guy a physical workout, but a mental one.
"You only get 15 minutes at the combine, so it's very difficult to be engaged in a one-on-one conversation," said Lombardi, who worked in the Cleveland front office with Bill Belichick. "You don't have all your tape with you. You don't have every asset you need to utilize to the best of your ability to determine the intelligence level, the commitment, all the things you want to do.
"You can sit them in a room … you have all day," Lombardi added. "You want to sit down and make sure you watch tape, go over some things, walk through some situations. It gives you a great chance to spend a lot of quality time — uninterrupted — with the player."
"Everybody realizes that you can't make mistakes in the draft," said former Cowboys executive Gil Brandt. "I think people just want to be sure they don't make mistakes. By trying them out and bringing them in for visits, that's a way to rectify that."
While player evaluation is at the heart of the pre-draft visits, they are often like a high-stakes card game. Even though a team could have zero interest in a player, they could engage in a little bluffing by inviting them to their facility for a pre-draft visit and making sure the media found out about it — which would get the rest of the league speculating about their motives. And if you're an agent interested in driving up interest in your client, it's in your best interest to get the information about your clients visits out to the media — it helps feed the pre-draft hype.
Of course, if you're a team interested in putting all your cards on the table, you can simply cut through the BS and let everyone know the players you bring in for a visit. This year, the Steelers made the curious move of publicly identifying all 28 of the players who made pre-draft visits the team: six offensive linemen, six wide receivers, five linebackers, three cornerbacks, three defensive lineman, three safeties, one running back and one tight end.
In the end, it's about getting more than surface time with a prospect. But the last few years, some teams have gone overboard. There's due diligence on a prospect. Then there's what Brandt calls "overkill." He presents the case of University of Utah safety Robert Johnson.
"I think he's a good player — I think he's one of those fourth- or fifth-round players that [will have] a career in the National Football League," explained Brandt last week. "I think this week he has a visit to the Bears yesterday, he was in Seattle today. He had a personal workout with Atlanta.
"A lot of these players have been traveling. It's almost unbelievable the amount of travel that has been put in."
While the pre-draft visit isn't a recruiting tool for most players, there's value in inviting players who might not be considered draftable prospects. In their case, you want to lead them up with as much free gear as possible with an eye toward enticing them as undrafted free agents.
"There are some guys you bring in and you want to recruit them as free agents after the draft," Lombardi said. "You want to give them a T-shirt and hat and say, 'Look, we'd love to have you. I don't know if it's going to work if we draft you,' and you try and endear them to your organization."

DJ and Pete continue to assess the season that was for the Bruins and look toward the future for the franchise and how they can improve.
DJ and Pete are together for the final Sunday Skate of the season. They get into their overall thoughts on the season, the Bruins keeping Claude Julien on as head coach and the end-of-season press conferences last week. They discuss the rebuild process, what the Bruins need and how they can obtain it. Plenty of callers have their own theories and opinions on all of these topics as well.
Butch is joined by two-thirds of the Sunday Skate show in DJ and Pete. The guys discuss the problems with Bruins including leadership and grit, who should stay and who should go and if Claude is to blame.
Things got a little scattered in the 9am hour of D&C as the guys discuss the Chinese Dog Eating Festival, a breast feeding 'man', and a little Celtics talk too as the Durant Sweepstakes continue.

After an embarrassing outing last night, Angry Lou rips into Eduardo Rodriguez, who seems to not realize that he needs more than two pitches in the big leagues.
Angry Lou is angry at Red Sox manager John Farrell, who is misusing his roster and didn't give Xander Bogaerts a night off last night, even though they made a roster move for a back-up shortstop.
Angry Lou is still rolling, and this time he focuses his anger at Dave Dombrowski for not getting a left fielder during the off season and for general bad roster construction.

Clarification :
Although the years 2013,2014,2015, are years of heavy social and economical problems. And many of the seeds of civil war begin to accumulate overwhelmingly on this years. The actual civil war does not fully start until the year 2016.
Pandora box 1135845
But earlier you wrote,
"In true the civil war will begin when they try to confiscate you weapons since that is when the revolutionary movements will begin forming in the south, but the confiscation of your gold and silver will be the final trigger that will cause a full citizenry movement towers revolution....
The war will begin first with small groups of right wingers in the south in early 2014. But by the end of that year it will be spread around the entire country because the government will become very repressive causing a full blown revolution.....
By the end of 2014 it wouldn't matter if you are right or left in your political views, the people will be one fighting the corrupt and repressing government of the usa..."

Joyner Warns Gay Rights Movement may ultimately 'Forbid Marriage between a Male and a Female'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 11/27/2012 3:40 pm
Rick Joyner sat down with Michael Brown to discuss his book A Queer Thing Happened to America and told him that in Switzerland married men and women can't refer to their spouses as husband or wife due to hate speech laws, warning that America is next. After describing the perils of the gay rights movement, Joyner said that there are "some" who seek to even "forbid marriage between a male and a female."
Brown later said his anti-gay book may be today's version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, and joined other activists in predicting a flood of ex-gay and ex-transgender Christians.

Reasonable, but not his usual standard!,
This review is from: Those In Peril (The Hector Cross Novels) (Kindle Edition)
I have been a fan of Wilbur Smith for many years and have read just about every book he has written. It sort of runs in the family I guess you could say! Whilst his books normally manage to get me gripped within the first few pages I very nearly stopped reading this book part way through.
The first problem is the factual inaccuracies. A Major commanding a Brigade? Seriously? Brigadiers command Brigades! Then there's the RPG which could split a tank's armour - well really it depends which tank you're talking about but certainly not a modern main battle tank. Then the NATO standard 5.56mm round which is terrible at penetrating armour (yet they are amongst the very best in the world in penetration tests). Oh and who can forget the Duke of Edinburgh talking about the 3rd Battalion of the SAS... Wilbur Smith should have employed a soldier to check his work before it was published.
The second problem is the way in which the book goes on and on about just how "good" everything related to the main characters are. The richest woman in America, the best wine maker, the largest ship, etc etc. It gets tiring after a while because it is unbelievable that one family is surrounded by so much that is just so perfect in every way and is so successful at everything they put their hand to. The point is laboured far too much, which hints at an attempt to increase the word count, whilst not having to think too much about a story.
Some would probably also say that the book is a bit too violent. This could be true to some extent, but I guess the story is what it is and it is about violence. However if Wilbur is going to write in the modern context then perhaps he should be writing about more modern ways of solving problems. So have your violent battle, but when the bad guy is caught, he should be brought to justice, not just shot in the head as if that's what people in the USA or UK do!
I eventually finished the book largely because I was a bit bored and by the end found that I had enjoyed it as a whole. I'm glad I read it on the Kindle not as a normal book because this way I got it much cheaper and wouldn't have thought it worth the full price!!! I know this review seems very negative but overall the book is still better than some.
In summary, it seems to me to be very unpolished and sloppy for a writer as great as Wilbur Smith.

CAB tight-lipped over ticket sales for Ind-WI match
Kolkata: Embarrassed with the poor ticket sales, the Cricket Association of Bengal on Saturday refused to divulge exact numbers of tickets sold, two days before India`s second Test match against the West Indies.
After the media reported that only 98 were sold on day one and 324 till yesterday, the hosts association was tight-lipped to give figures after three days` counter sales.
A CAB official said there was instruction from the supremo Jagmohan Dalmiya not to give the figures as it hampered the sale of tickets from the counters.
"It has an adverse effect to quote the ticket sales figures in media, feesl Mr Dalmiya," the official said.
CAB treasurer Subir Ganguly was not available for a comment.
But CAB joint-secretary Biswarup Dey hoped that about 30 to 40,000 spectators would fill up in the stadium.
"We can expect a crowd of about 40,000 on day one. It can go up as the day progresses with India batting," Dey said.
Sachin Tendulkar, eyeing 100th international century, is the man in the spotlight with India leading the three-Test series 1-0 against a weak opposition in the West Indies.
"This West Indies line-up is devoid of any crowd-pullers. Besides, there has been an overdose of cricket of late," said a BPO employee Bijay Dubey, an Indian fan who had turned up to see the Mumbai stalwart during the practice.
Incidentally, about a thousand shouting `Sachin, Sachin` thronged the stadium to have a glimpse of the iconic batsman when the team bus left the stadium.
But it was a sorry picture in the morning when the West Indies practised.
Only a handful people, mostly journalists, gathered to watch the practice of a low profile West Indies team led by Darren Sammy.
In fact, at the adjacent Mohun Bagan ground, there were more spectators in numbers to watch the local football heavyweights train in the morning.
This is Eden`s third international match in less than a month, having hosted England in an ODI and Twenty20I.
Known all-over the world for its crowd frenzy, the Eden showed a similar response during the two England matches as the renovated 64,000 capacity stadium witnessed many empty seats.
In fact, the stadium recorded its lowest ever turnout involving an India match when only 27,000 spectators were recorded for the ODI on October 25.
There is no official word, but CAB is understood to have planned a felicitation for Sachin Tendulkar in the event of his scoring 100th international century in the Test beginning Monday.

Blair, J., and Frederick G. Conrad. 2011. "Sample size for cognitive interview pretesting." Public Opinion Quarterly, 75(4): 636-658.
Every cognitive interview pretest designer must decide how many interviews need to be conducted. With little theory or empirical research to guide the choice of sample size, practitioners generally rely on the examples of other studies and their own experience or preferences. We investigated pretest sample size both theoretically and empirically. Using a model of the relationship of sample size to question problem prevalence, detection power of the cognitive interview technique, and probability of observing a problem, we computed the sample size necessary, under varying conditions, to detect problems. Under a range of plausible values for the model parameters, we found that additional problems continued to be detected as sample size increased. We also report on an empirical study that simulated the number of problems detected at different sample sizes. Multiple outcome measures showed a strong positive relationship between sample size and problem detection; serious problems that were not detected in small samples were consistently observed in larger samples. We discuss the implications of these findings for practice and for additional research.

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will convene its Red Snapper Advisory Panel Wednesday, July 30, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the council office — 2203 N. Lois Avenue, Suite 1100, in Tampa, Fla.
The panel will review stakeholder feedback received through the Mississippi Recreational Summit held in April, and from the recent Louisiana Recreational Fishing Survey. Both the summit and the survey were designed to get input from recreational anglers about Gulf of Mexico red snapper management.
The panel will also discuss red snapper accountability measure alternatives, which have been removed from Amendment 28 - Red Snapper Allocation, and will be considered as a separate framework action, as well as review and discuss Reef Fish Amendment 40 - Recreational Red Snapper Sector Separation.
Amendment 40 considers dividing the recreational sector into two distinct components, resulting in a private angling component and a federal for-hire component. Red snapper resources would then be allocated between these components.
Finally, the panel will review new state data collection programs and receive an update on the Gulf of Mexico Headboat Collaborative Pilot Program.
Red Snapper Advisory Panel members were also invited to participate, in a nonvoting capacity, in the Reef Fish Advisory Panel meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 29, 2014, also at the council office.

In his Washington Post op ed last week, Kyrgyzstan's long-time ambassador to the U.S. gave us a fascinating insight into the process of base negotiations. Once the U.S. had its base, he wrote, all concerns about human rights and democracy went out the window. The base became the alpha and omega of the U.S.-Kyrgyz relationship, a development he wisely termed detrimental to both sides. With U.S. expulsion from its prime supply base in Kyrgyzstan now looming on the horizon just as the Obama Administration prepares to implement its ramp-up in neighboring Afghanistan, the U.S. quest for a base to replace Manas (Ganci) Air Force Base is getting feverish. And how does this affect human rights policy?
On Thursday, the State Department issued its Human Rights country reports—the first to come out of Hillary Clinton's State Department—though the core of the report was obviously prepared and submitted under Condoleezza Rice's stewardship. The pages dealing with the Central Asian dictatorships offer some interesting reading. I understand that efforts to replace the Kyrgyzstan base are now focused on Uzbekistan, which once allowed the United States the use of two air bases. The regime of Islam Karimov, often reckoned the most brutal and dictatorial in the region, kicked the United States out in November 2005, ostensibly over U.S. criticism of mass slayings of Uzbek civilians in the Ferghana Valley following a popular uprising there. Now the German government, which has a military base in Termez, is said to be brokering a new deal for the Americans. How has this affected the U.S. take on the human rights situation in Uzbekistan?
Plenty. One of the country's most acute human rights offenses is its use of involuntary child labor to harvest its cotton crop. Uzbekistan has drawn international condemnation for this practice, and a number of groups in Europe, North America, and elsewhere have called for a boycott of Uzbek cotton. Prior State Department human rights reports heavily criticized the Uzbeks over their child labor practices. In the current report, we learn that the Uzbeks are making great headway in battling child labor abuse: "Enforcement was lacking due in part to long-standing societal acceptance of child labor as a method of cotton harvesting."
Last year a BBC documentary showed exactly what form this "long-standing societal acceptance" took. Uzbek authorities closed down elementary and middle schools and then bussed away the children to labor in 100 degree heat for a couple of weeks in fields filled with highly toxic pesticides and agricultural chemicals (to which children under 16 are particularly vulnerable). Children who refused to participate were threatened with beatings and were told they would not be able to continue their education. Last year I interviewed a young Uzbek college student who described to me in some detail her own experience in forced cotton field labor and that of her younger siblings, including in the course of the last harvest. "Societal acceptance" has nothing to do with it. Parents who complain about the practices are subject to threats and coercion, and come under police surveillance. The State Department has accepted and recycled the flimsy rationale that the Uzbek government offers up to cover its tracks.
Is this just sloppy research? I doubt it. I'd say that General Petraeus is probably coming pretty close to a new base deal.

In five easy lessons
From the April 2015 issue
Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

Year of the Linux desktop? Who cares!
The words "This is the year for the Linux Desktop" has become a cliche. Its a serious over-simplification of a large issue.
The key thing though, regardless if "This is the year for the Linux Desktop" or not, is that we really should be focusing on improving and contributing (directly or indirectly) to the community, instead of getting ourselves involved in these types of never-ending trivial discussions and issues that drag out to an area of pointlessness.
We waste a lot of time trying to defend Linux when we don't need to. Let people think what they think. BUT, let our contributions speak for themselves. And finally, let the user decide if Linux is right for their desktop. The ultimate decider has, and always been the user. People and companies can trick them for now, but eventually, the truth or benefits of alternatives will spread to them. (Whether it be by word of mouth, or some clueless journalist just realising a change in tide of the IT industry).
Remember, the difference between open-source and companies like Microsoft, are that they corner or "encourage" the user into their specific way or solution. (often with the ultimate goal of profit). We don't. We stand for the right and freedom to choose. Just remember that when someone is talking about MS Office 2007, and how they are unable to go back to the older user-interface that they are familiar with. (That's right, people have to re-learn Office 2007's way of doing things.)
Everybody knows open-source is inevitable. (Even Microsoft).
If you don't believe me, just look at these examples...
(1) Microsoft Shared Source Initiative
=> http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/default.mspx
(Its like open-source...But not).
(2) MS Research Facility to study Open-Source solutions.
=> port25.technet.com
(To fight and kill your enemy, you must understand and study him).
(3) CodePlex
=> www.codeplex.com
(Microsoft's attempt to copy SourceForge.net)
(4) Novell and Microsoft — Working Together for Customers
=> www.novell.com/linux/microsoft
Need I say more?
What we should be focusing on, is ways that we can help improve things for everyone. That's what open-source is about. The community. It could be coming up with an idea that fills a current niche in open-source, etc. Even if you want to make a business or money out of it, it doesn't matter. If we all put a little bit in, it doesn't matter what some weenie from an ad-filled tech site says OR even what Microsoft does/says.
So avoid and ignore blogs, opinions, editorials, forum posts that don't specifically ask for help or provide useful information, but bring up trivial discussions. They're time wasters, that's a fact. You don't actually learn anything out of them. (such that you can use the information in the future). IF you really want to be productive, focus on looking at or making guides (even for newbies), online technical stuff, maybe learn to program, etc.
By the way, you don't have to be an engineer or a computer scientist to learn how to program. You can do it as a hobby. A self taught thing...Some of the most skilled and influential people in the world are self learners. Take for example, guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. (Both taught themselves how to play a guitar). And what of "DVD Jon" (Jon Lech Johansen)? He is a self-taught software engineer. Look at his contributions!
I'm using these to start off...
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python
How To Think Like A Computer Scientist: Learning with C++
...And look at examples. (This is where downloading the source code comes in handy...Don't you just love open-source?). Be sure to post your own code in programming forums. Ask for criticism and feedback, as you learn. (Always question: Why does my way suck? Why should I try someone else's suggestion? Are their's better? In what way?)...The difference between a winner and a loser, is the winner learns from their mistakes and understands the goals of what they want to do and never let up.
We can clearly see the weaknesses of Linux for the mainstream, non-techie user. (If you don't, just visit any newbie section in forums of any distro)...The biggest one is compatibility with Windows applications. (Games for enthusiasts and specific apps that businesses rely on).
So what do you folks want to do? Talk about trivial subjects until the cows come home? Or actually do something about it, and make a REAL difference. (You never know, you may even end up making your mark in open-source history books!)
There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who complain about the weather, and those who do something about. Question is...Which are you?
Its about what we do right now, that will make a difference for tomorrow. In this case, if you really want Linux to get a good foothold on the desktop; you, me, and any other experienced Linux user needs to step back, clearly identify issues and the problems faced by the non-techie Jane/Joe PC user, and figure out GOOD solutions for them and anyone else who can benefit.
There will never be a clearly defined year that will be the year for the Linux desktop. Such discussions are pointless and trivial, as its a gradual thing to see over time.
I'll think I'll end with some words that have inspired me...
The most important thing the hacker community does is write better code. Our deeds are the best propaganda we have. Most of us, most of the time, shouldn't be distracted by worrying about beating Microsoft's PR or countering their political moves, because writing good code is in the long run a far more potent weapon than flackery. -Eric S. Raymond

re: Year of the Linux desktop? Who cares!
Nice article, I agree full-heartedly.
There will never be a clearly defined year that will be the year for the Linux desktop. Such discussions are pointless and trivial, as its a gradual thing to see over time.
This about sums it up.
You need to be heard
I'm sure this idea was said, discussed and even fought over repeatedly. You, and many others like you before, are of course right. We should stop this senseless propaganda and concentrate more on what we can do to help, even if it is just to assist a newbie into the familiarity of a Linux desktop.
People who have read you and heard this idea, should think it over long and hard, and perhaps that would be the time we would have a strong, united community of Linux users.

Nearly seven years have separated fans of singer/songwriter Maxwell from new material from the Grammy winner, but that long wait drew to a close today thanks to the release of his latest project 'blackSUMMERS'night.'
The second installment of a trilogy of albums of the same name (with different emphases), 'SUMMERS' has big footsteps to follow given its predecessor's whopping 316,000 units sold first week. And, while the new project's lead single – 'Lake By the Ocean' – has made quite the splash on charts (currently buoyed at #1 on R&B charts) – there is an admitted absence of buzz around this installment compared to its platinum-selling forerunner.
Add to this a change in musical landscape (see: shift in consumption, trap music, etc.) in conjunction with Drake's ongoing domination of streaming (an outlet Max's overall SPS figure will probably benefit least from), it's pretty clear the 'Pretty Wings' singer has an uphill battle before him.
But, if there's anything his fanbase is proven, is that they're patient and loyal…

Valdes Peninsula, Argentina. 2004. Southern Right whales, drawn to Argentina's Valdes Peninsula because of the shelter provided by its two gulfs -- the Golfo San Jose and the Golfo Nuevo -- often navigate with their tails upright in the water. When a tail stands immobile for tens of minutes, it is probable that the whale is completely vertical in the water in a kind of resting position; it has also been claimed that the whales use their tails as a sail, allowing the wind to do the work. After close observation, it is possible to predict when a whale will jump: A sudden and swift movement of the tail provides the burst of energy that enables the whale to project its massive body out of the water.

In the Upper Xingu region of Brazil's Mato Grosso state in 2005, a group of Waura Indians fish in the Puilanga Lake near their village. The Upper Xingu Basin is home to an ethnically diverse population, with the 2,500 inhabitants of 13 villages speaking languages with distinct Carib, Tupi and Arawak roots. While they occupy different territories and preserve their own cultural identities, they co-exist in peace. .

Once Back in the Game has completed its run (ABC cancelled the sitcom earlier this month), a familiar comedy will fill its timeslot.
The alphabet network has announced that the third season of Suburgatory will kick off on Wednesday, January 15th, at 8:30pm. There are just 13 episodes this time, down from the 22 episode orders from seasons one and two.
This season, George (Jeremy Sisto) and Tessa (Jane Levy) find themselves more at odds with the bucolic Chatswin community than ever before. George struggles to once again navigate life as a single suburban dad after a tumultuous breakup with Dallas (Cheryl Hines). Tessa, abandoned by her mother at the start of her senior year, no longer has any interest in trying to fit in. She and George recommit to walking amongst the suburban hordes without becoming them. Only Chatswin's pull is stronger than »

We talked with Damon O'Steen last week about his open auditions for Phantom Nights, the television pilot set at Lubbock's own Stars & Strips Drive In.
Lubbock native Damon O' Steen is filming a pilot set at the famous Stars & Stripes Drive-In and looking for residents to play key roles.
We all know that Star Wars mania is in full effect. So much so, that states have been ranked according to which ones opt for the Dark Side and which ones are one with The Force.
Sylvester Stallone became a star playing Rocky Balboa, but did you know that United Artists wanted to buy Stallone's script for Rocky and cast another actor in the title role? Before they finally agreed to let Stallone have the part, they tried to cast actors like Robert Redford, Burt Reynolds, and James Caan. That's just one of the facts crammed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which goes the distance on the original 1976 classic, Rocky.
A remake of Road House is a little questionable, but when you throw UFC badass Ronda Rousey into the role originated by Patrick Swayze, things get a bit interesting. And things just got a whole lot more interesting as the project has found an unlikely director in Nick Cassavetes, son of iconic director John Cassavetes and director of…The Notebook. Of all things.
We weren't sure what to think about Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs biopic after the first trailer. Yes, it seemed dramatic and fascinating, but also highlighted a performance by Michael Fassbender as the former Apple CEO that didn't really look or sound at all like Steve Jobs. Could the film overcome that hurdle? After the film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month to rave reviews — specifically calling out Fassbender's "enthralling" and "stunning" — it may be time to fully buy in to this project. If you're left doubting, a brand new trailer has arrived to help convince you.
Now that Ronda Rousey has officially dominated the UFC, she's ready to put Hollywood in a submission hold next. The actress previously set up a biopic at Paramount that she also plans on starring in, and now comes word that she's ready to take over a classic action movie. Rousey will reportedly star in a gender-swapped Road House remake where she'd take over for the late Patrick Swayze.
As of December 2012, thirty-three former NFL players have been formally diagnosed post-mortem with CTE. As the NFL continues to try to bury the issue (they recently denied permission to Seau's daughter to speak in-person at her father's Hall of Fame induction ceremony over fears she would publicize the CTE debate), a new film looks to tackle the issue head on and today we have our first look at Concussion.
The Lubbock Alamo Drafthouse is celebrating Steven Spielberg in September. And part of this special month includes free admission to one of his best films, "Saving Private Ryan," to all active and former members of the military.
