BASICS; Should You Shred or Save? Two Ways to Streamline
By PETER MEYERS
Published: February 20, 2003
AMONG the things the Internet has not changed -- at least not yet -- is the amount of paper kept around. Consider personal record-keeping practices. How many folders, boxes and drawers are stuffed with old tax filings, pet vaccination records and product warranties that expired long ago?
Even worse, it is hard to find anything when you need it. Wasn't the PC supposed to help manage information?
It can, but the process requires a fair amount of work on the user's part. Your PC is basically no more capable of automating your file-keeping than it is of making sure you do everything on your to-do list.
Still, there are essentially two ways of using your PC to manage paper files. One involves scanning the documents into your PC and tracking them with software that functions as a digital file cabinet. The other method allows you to keep documents in their physical form and uses a program to track what you have and where it is, a bit like a library card catalog.
The all-digital solution simply requires a PC that can accommodate a scanner, although Windows users have many more choices than those who use a Mac. I tested both platforms, using a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows XP and an Apple iBook with Mac OS X 10.2 (also known as Jaguar). For a scanner I used the dual-platform Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3500c.
Mac users beware: many scanner manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard, have yet to create Jaguar-compatible scanner software, which means you will have to operate many scanners in Classic mode. Hewlett-Packard says that Jaguar-compatible software will be ready this spring.
Transferring Documents
I chose a Windows-only program called Digital File Cabinet, available for downloading at www.runningmansoftware.com for $27. The program presents a preconfigured but easily changeable list of folders, each one representing a common category, like Automobile or Household Equipment.
Within each folder is a handful of related subcategories. The program leads you through an easy-to-follow procedure for connecting the scanner. Rather than using the scanner's own software, you operate completely within the Digital File Cabinet environment.
Scanning documents into the program was easy, if a bit time-consuming. A 20-page tax filing, for example, took about 20 minutes. Multiple-page paper documents are represented by groups of individual files that are automatically named ''page one,'' ''page two,'' and so on. If you foresee scanning lots of thick documents, it might be worthwhile to use a multiple-function fax-printer-scanner. Most such machines are equipped to handle lengthy document feeds.
To test the software, I decided to create a digital file folder for a scanner I had just purchased online. This introduced an interesting twist: some items I wanted to keep track of were already in digital format, including my receipt and a downloadable quick-start guide from Hewlett-Packard.
Digital File Cabinet let me drag and drop files stored anywhere on my computer. It also let me assign keywords to any file so that when it came time to search, all I needed to do was to enter the name of a file or a keyword. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have known how to do most of this had I depended on the program's skimpy online help. It was only after rooting around in the program's folder that I discovered a user's manual. It was not up to professional standards (referring at one point to a chapter that did not exist), but it was enough to get me going.
A little higher up the software ladder is PaperPort Deluxe 8.0 ($99.99, www.scansoft.com). This program, for Windows only, is conceptually the same as Digital File Cabinet but comes with a lot more polish, a crystal-clear user's manual, and a handful of nifty tools that help with things like finding files and attaching notes.
Assembling multiple-page files does, however, require a little extra work. Each paper page must be scanned in as a separate file. Related files must then be stacked together, an easy but somewhat tedious procedure.
One glitch reminded me of a general risk faced by those who wish to be truly paper-free. I had scanned in the user's guide and warranty for a fan I bought several years ago. When I printed the warranty out as a test, it was illegible. For some reason the scan came out blurry -- possibly the fault of the scanner, the program, the way I scanned it. But because PaperPort presents you with a thumbnail-size miniature of each scan, I did not realize this when I scanned the document. Only by clicking on and enlarging the image would I have seen the problem, which was easily fixed by rescanning. The lesson is to review your scans before throwing anything away.
PaperPort's ability to find files is greatly enhanced by an automatic text-reading tool (technically known as optical character recognition, or OCR). It's not perfect, but it converts the scanned text in most documents into a searchable file. Even if you don't remember the name of your file or if you have neglected to assign keywords, you can perform a search. In my tests it worked well.

Yep, that was pretty lackluster. And probably nothing can top the PonyHawk. But I've kinda taken a liking to the guy now. And Simon heaping abuse on him week after week is probably helping more than hurting him.
I get the impression that he could sing better if he wanted to. He seems to have a decent underlying voice. To me it sounds like he is holding back, not really going for it. Which is odd, given that he certainly doesn't hold back with the hair.

May 11, 2001 by Gary Mortenson
Hardwick, Fitzpatrick, Redwine, Coble and Truax will fight it out for first place and $100,000 in prize money in tomorrow's 2001 Wal-Mart BFL All-American finals
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Rodney Hardwick of Connersville, Ind., used a two-day catch of 22 pounds to grab the top spot heading into finals of the Wal-Mart BFL All-American on Saturday. However, with a top prize of $100,000 on the line, Hardwick acknowledged that he probably won't get a good night's rest this evening.
"The nerves are shot. There won't be any sleep tonight," said Hardwick of his growing anxiety. "I'm trying not to think about the money. I have to keep my mind focused on the game, get good hook-ups tomorrow and get the fish in the boat. But there are no guarantees."
Hardwick said that he expects a shoot-out tomorrow given the quality of anglers remaining in the tournament.
"Obviously, these guys are all good fishermen or they wouldn't be here," he said. "I wasn't even sure I'd make (the cut) today. I lost a 4-pounder early and I thought it wasn't meant to be. But somehow, I made it."
However, despite a healthy dose of apprehension heading into the finals, Hardwick believes he has as good of a chance as anyone to finish in the top spot.
"All of these guys seem to be on good fish. But everyone starts at zero tomorrow," he said. "I caught more fish today than I did yesterday and hopefully it will stay that way. I'm on two different patterns that seem to be working. And as long as I keep my mind focused, I think I have a good chance."
Best of the rest
Second-place qualifier Roger Fitzpatrick of Connersville, Ind., also believes he has a good shot to take home the title.
"I feel pretty confident right now," said Fitzpatrick, who recorded a two-day total of 19 pounds, 9 ounces. "I caught 14 keepers today and as long as it doesn't rain too hard tomorrow, I think I should be in good shape."
Fitzpatrick said that whatever happens tomorrow, he will always cherish the memories of making the top-five.
"It feels great," said Fitzpatrick, who believes that an 11-pound stringer will win the tournament. "This is a dream come true for me."
Paul Redwine of Crab Orchard, Tenn., grabbed the third spot heading into Saturday's finals with a two-day catch of 18 pounds, 5 ounces. Perhaps the calmest of the final qualifiers, Redwine said that he isn't changing his strategy one bit come tomorrow.
"I'm going to do the same thing I've been doing the past two days," he said. "It's exciting to be here, but I need to stay focused."
Jeff Coble, winner of the 2000 Red Man All-American, said that he needed to make some changes if he wanted to entertain any thoughts of winning the championship.
"I'm going to have to fish better tomorrow than I have in the past two days if I want to win this," said Coble, a native of Henderson, N.C. "It's going to be a struggle. I haven't hooked a 4-pounder this entire tournament. And I haven't cracked 11 pounds, which is what I think you're going to need to win the championship."
However, Coble acknowledged that he was thankful just to make it into the top five.
"I'm just relieved to have qualified. I thought I had no chance," said Coble, who thought his 18-pound, 5-ounce stringer was going to fall about 20 ounces short of the cut off. "But the good thing about this tournament format is that I can put all of my past mistakes behind me now. We all start from zero. And with 45 fewer boats on the lake tomorrow, I think I'll have a pretty good shot as long as I stay focused."
Claiming the fifth and final spot was David Truax of Beaumont, Texas. However, qualifying wasn't nearly as easy for Truax as it was for the rest of the final-five contestants. Truax, who represented the first angler to be dethroned as soon as any other angler bested 18 pounds, 5 ounces, spent more than an hour watching his fellow competitors come precariously close to booting him out of the tournament. But in the end, he made it.
"That is the longest anyone has ever been on the `bubble' in any tournament I can remember," said Truax. "I thought there was no way that I'd make it. But I guess miracles do happen."
However, unlike the other anglers in the finals, Truax didn't seem nearly as confident regarding his chances in tomorrow's finals.
"I think I've used up most, if not all, of my fish," he said. "I'm going to be in trouble tomorrow. I'm going to have to run and gun and cover a lot of water. I'm definitely going to have to find some new spots."
Tomorrow's competition begins at 7 a.m. at the Dare Devil Marina on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Ark.

At the end of the Chinese historical epic Curse of the Golden Flower, tsunamis of soldiers wash down endless staircases and across field-size courtyards outside a 10th-century imperial palace. One army wears black armor, the other gold, and the very colors seem to be at war. It's as if Chinese director Zhang Yimou paints the battle scene with a palette of metal and bodies.
The climactic sequence resembles the final clash in The Two Towers and offers a vivid reminder of what Zhang can do with color. For two decades, the director and his cinematographers have presented some of the most vivid, hyper-real films being made, beginning with Red Sorghum in 1987. Time and again, Zhang Yimou does for primary colors what Hitchcock did with suspense scenes or Altman with overlapping dialogue. Zhang's shades and hues seem to color our dreams and can deepen our appreciation of what cinema can do.
In the first phase of his career, Zhang specialized in relatively small but rippingly entertaining tales of ordinary individuals -- usually women played by the beautiful Gong Li -- imprisoned by circumstances and thwarted in their attempts to escape. More recently, Zhang has dabbled with the wuxia genre, or martial arts epics, with Curse of the Golden Flower providing the third installment of a de facto trilogy, following the cerebral Hero and the lavishly emotional House of Flying Daggers.
The palace intrigue upstages the wire-work and fight scenes almost entirely in Curse of the Golden Flower, and at times Zhang seems as constricted by the courtly skullduggery as the film's Empress Phoenix (Gong Li, rejoining the director after a decade apart). Although adapted from a Chinese play from the 1930s, Curse's plot proves reminiscent of the Peter O'Toole/Katharine Hepburn film, The Lion in Winter. Both stories feature reunions of a royal family over a holiday, divided loyalties between three sons and high tensions between the ruler and his wife.
After an undefined separation, the Chinese Emperor Ping (Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-Fat) returns to his wife's palace to observe the pomp and ceremony of a Chrysanthemum Festival. Also back on the scene is the tough, long-absent Prince Jai (Jay Chou), who greets his father with a sword-fight sequence, both men so heavily armored they could be robots.
Closer to the empress is sensitive, passionate Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), son of the emperor's first wife, who's been having an affair with his stepmother. There's also a youthful third prince (Qin Junjie), whose innate innocence will be corrupted by the family scheming.
Curse's introductory scenes feature seemingly scores of female servants dressing and doing each other's hair with drill-team coordination. The film's most powerful impressions come not necessarily from the characters, but their royal surroundings, which include functionaries who roam the halls and ceremoniously announce every hour. Every visible surface seems to display some kind of impossibly intricate design etched in precious metal.
The empress "officially" suffers from anemia and tremors, but we soon discover that the emperor, for obscure reasons, has ordered her medicine spiked with a black fungus that erodes her mental faculties. Given the elaborate rites and choreographed servants involved with taking the medicine, it's almost as if the ritualized royal life is killing the empress, not just the poison. The sumptuousness is practically drowning her.
Gong Li played another woman jailed by luxury in Zhang's Raise the Red Lantern, and masterfully conveys the empress' barely contained desperation. The actress doesn't use the character's condition for a performance of showy symptoms, but conveys the difficulties of maintaining control in a culture and position that values propriety above all things.
Curse doesn't stint on melodramatic plot twists, however, including incest and treason. Wan two-times his mother with a young servant (Li Man), while a mysterious, scarred older woman (Chen Jin) reveals lurid, explosive family secrets. Occasionally, the conflicts erupt in gravity-defying fights, but the martial arts mostly seem like afterthoughts. The heart of the film lies in intimate confrontations in close quarters, and the fights seem to come from other films entirely.
In the most thoughtful martial arts epics, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Yimou's House of Flying Daggers, the brawls and chases express feelings that characters otherwise can't contain, almost like the songs in a musical. Except for the final spectacle, the fights in Curse almost never have that emotional element.
Aspects of the emperor's character never seem resolved, either. Chow Yun-Fat may be better than the role deserves, giving a noble bearing and moments of tenderness to a despot who appears to be little better than a cruel schemer. Some of the emperor's most shocking decisions remain a mystery. Perhaps Zhang intends Curse to be an anti-authoritarian counterargument to Hero, which concluded with a morally questionable justification for tyranny.
Despite some sweetening with computer-generated images in the big battles, Curse of the Golden Flower feels like the product of a nation much older than our own, one that can count the age of households and families not just in generations, but in centuries. Perhaps the film's portrait of royal betrayals amid ancient, ornate surroundings would strike more of a chord in Europe than the United States. Curse of the Golden Flower seeks drama in personalities who don't so much shape history as are strangled by it.

Herbed Scallop Kebabs
Grilled under a watchful eye to avoid overcooking, these skewers are a snap to prepare. A light lemon-and-herb marinade allows the sweet, succulent flavor of the scallops to shine. Be sure to purchase sea scallops, which are a good size for kebabs.
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 1/4 pounds sea scallops, trimmed
- 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
- Step 1
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Place a fine-mesh nonstick grill topper on grill to heat.
- Step 2
- Whisk lemon juice, thyme, oil, lemon zest, pepper and salt in a small bowl.
- Step 3
- Toss scallops with 2 tablespoons of the lemon mixture; reserve the remaining mixture for basting the kebabs. Thread the scallops and the lemon wedges onto four 10-inch-long skewers (see Tip), placing 6 to 7 scallops and 2 lemon wedges on each skewer.
- Step 4
- Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Cook the kebabs, turning from time to time and basting with the reserved lemon mixture, until the scallops are opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes first to prevent them from scorching.
To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.

I hacked my xbox along time ago now and have never had an issue with running games off the HDD, infact they generally load alot quicker. Recently i copied Need For Speed Carbon to my HDD and when i launch it the game goes past all of the initial videos.....EA Logo etc....and gets to the Press Start prompt. When i press start the press start text dissapears and i am left with the Need For Speed Carbon logo on the animated background. The xbox hasnt frozen cos i can still reset to dash with L+R+Back+Start and of course the menu background is still animated. Anyone else had an issue with this or is it just me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My basic specs, which i think are relevant, are:
Xecuter 2.6Lite BIOS X2 5035 v1.5
Philips DVD Drive
80GB Maxtor Diamond Max 9 7200RPM
Avalaunch/XBMC Dash
EDIT: Oh and ive just realised ive posted this in the wrong section....lol....i should really get some sleep.....sorry mods please move it

Pregnancy symptoms facts
- Not all women experience the same symptoms of pregnancy, and symptoms vary in severity.
- A woman will not necessarily experience the same symptoms in the same way in subsequent pregnancies as with her first pregnancy.
- Certain symptoms, like absence of menstruation and weight gain, are common to all pregnancies.
- Other possible symptoms of early pregnancy include
- Symptoms of late pregnancy can include
- leg swelling,
- backache,
- heartburn,
- leakage of urine, and
- shortness of breath.
- Braxton-Hicks contractions are non-labor contractions of the uterus that occur in late pregnancy. Unlike true labor, these contractions do not increase in intensity and are irregular.
- Many medications are safe for pregnant women.
- Home remedies and self-care strategies can bring relief for many pregnancy symptoms.
Are pregnancy symptoms the same for every woman?
Symptoms of pregnancy can vary among different women. They may vary in quality or severity, and even the same woman may not experience the same symptoms in every pregnancy. Pregnancy symptoms may also be noticed or begin at different points in the pregnancy. Some women may experience symptoms within the first weeks of pregnancy in the first trimester, while others may develop symptoms later on in the pregnancy. Symptoms of early pregnancy can also be similar to symptoms experienced prior to the menstrual period, so a woman may not recognize the symptoms as related to pregnancy.
This article describes the most common symptoms of pregnancy in its early and later stages.

Re: List of bankruptcy friendly creditors?
While I like this thread, it seems like it can cause all of us to miss the point. After spending the better part of a month reading these forums, the one thing that stands out to me isn't who is or isn't getting approved for CC's or loans; but how those of us in the exact same situation can have drastically different scores. I mean I'm reading some of these posts and people that are much further along in the BK process have much worse scores than I do. Whats the difference?? I refuse to beleive its the CC's or loans that people were able to obtain. For me it was the fact that for the better part of 6 months after my case was confirmed, I disputed line item after line item in all 3 of my files to make sure that they were as absolutly clean as possible. Now my files show the correct balances owed, everything that was included in the BK reflects that with ZERO current balance, and every judgement and collection that was included in BK was either removed or updated accordingly. For me that worked. I just wish I would've waited a year or two more to apply for the better cards and been satisfied with the ones I've been able to get. Wouldn't be as many inq's on my file as there now is. Sorry just my 2 cents......

After being told by the owner and his Partner that our rental car would be secure and safe, we set out to enjoy Marrakech. On the second day I decided to check the car and relised it had been scratched on every panel, mirror and back wippers broken. As we had been told by the owner Mathiue it was a secure place with security, he accepted responsibility and said "what ever the cost he would pay it". He then said " he spoke to the police and we would not have any cost". when we returned the car, the total damages came to 500 Euro. We have not been able to contact him since by email or phone. The location of this riad is very dangerous especially for women!

Scout leader gets probation
Published: Friday, January 24, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 24, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
A former Boy Scout volunteer was sentenced to probation Thursday after he admitted he showed a 12-year-old boy pornography on his computer.
Daniel Riker, 24, of 250 Poplar Drive in Hendersonville, was sentenced to 21U2 years of probation, 100 hours of community service and was ordered to register as a sexual offender after he pleaded guilty to disseminating obscene material, Assistant District Attorney Corey Ellis said.
The boy was a Boy Scout and Riker was taking care of him at his home when he showed him pornography on a computer in the summer of 2001, Ellis said. Riker was indicted in September 2002.
Investigators from Henderson County Sheriff's Department handled the case and interviewed other Boy Scouts who had contact with Riker. But they found no other victims, Ellis said.

Date Tip
In the Tech Tips section of the November 2007 Linux Journal, there is a tip called "Show Date or Time, Past or Future" that requires you to download and compile showdate.c.
Another way to do these date calculations is to use the GNU date
command that is included in most (all?) Linux distributions. See:
David Blackman
Mr Copeland's argument for stealing music boiled down to its essence is "because it's possible, it's okay" [LJ, November 2007, Letters]. It's a refreshingly candid argument.
While I certainly agree that by buying a song, I should be allowed and able to play it on any device I own (or will own), it does not follow that I now have the right to redistribute it to others, simply because I could!
The (possible) greed of the RIAA, et al., is a red herring. If you think an item is too expensive, don't buy it. If enough people feel the same way, the price will come down (or the creator will go bankrupt).
If in fact the community (including Linux Journal) does indeed condone Mr Copeland's (and other's) argument, then I have a perfectly good CD containing the latest Linux Journal archive (which I recently bought) that I will be happy to make available on my Web site for immediate free worldwide distribution. I'll just conveniently ignore that bothersome LJ "All Rights Reserved" copyright notice at the bottom.
The irony is apparent in Mr Copeland's last paragraph where he states "If you fear people or begrudge them control over their own lives...."
Musicians, artists and others who create intellectual
property or content are people too, and by your own arguments, they have
the right to control their own lives, and that means THEY have the right to
decide what happens to their intellectual property, how it should be
distributed, what rights are allowed or reserved, etc. Why shouldn't they
be entitled to leverage new technology to make money for themselves?
Ultimately, that's what we all do.
David Jameson
Disabling Services Revisited
Nicholas Petreley's command-line method to temporarily disable services, as described in the July 2007 Linux Journal Tech Tips section, works.
Granted, renaming the files the way he suggests is a far better alternative to simply removing them. However, there are very easy-to-use command-line utilities that properly deal with this problem:
chkconfig (Red Hat or alike systems).
update-rc.d (Debian or alike systems—consider looking into file-rc).
One more reason not to rename these files is that they will most likely
be missed by the package manager when the package is removed.
Waiting for Feedback
I read, with not inconsiderable interest, parts of the letter by Chuck Adams titled "Sold on Kubuntu", October 2007 LJ, wherein appeared, "Now I can do a case in less than ten minutes on an AMD64."
Well, now, that simple assertion—per se—seemed so interesting to me, for I did my M. Sc. N-Body work on an IBM System/360 Model 50 under OS/360 circa 1973, I just had to check into it a little more deeply! And, you see, my most expensive single run cost only ~ C$7,000.00, I seem to recall!
So, assuming his runs took 3.5 hours (that is, 210 minutes) on a CDC 7600 versus ten minutes on an AMD64, the time ratio is only 21—I calculated!
Therefore, while I guess that's possible—albeit somewhat seemingly [s]low—any feedback therefore from Dr Adams would be most gratefully appreciated, of course!
I now mostly employ Red Hat Linux Fedora 7, x86_64,
on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5600+ processor-based
PC built from components purchased from Fry's and assembled
at home, avec quelque succes.

The Audacity...
After a lapse, it's good to be receiving Linux Journal again. As a nontraditional (older) college student, money can be very tight at times. Money has been very tight over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, pleasures in life end up getting pushed aside in the name of the necessities.
I have always liked the Cooking with Linux column
by Marcel Gagné. In the October 2007 issue, he wrote
about audio editors. As an Audacity user, I can say
Mr Gagné forgot one tiny little detail when
it comes to writing out one's creations, and that is,
Audacity does not come ready to write to the MP3
format. (At least this is true in SUSE.) It will write to
the OGG and wav format right out of the box but
not to the MP3 format. I always have had to, first,
install the MP3 library file in the proper place and
then tell Audacity where to find it before I could
write MP3 files.

Thanks Jack
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed Jack Xue's article on creating a Linux-based e-mail system that integrates with Active Directory in the November 2007 issue. One thing I want to correct or add to his article is that Windows Server 2003 R2 is not required for acquiring the POSIX schema modifications that are needed for authenticating UNIX clients. POSIX attributes and object classes are required, and Windows Server 2003 R2 includes those schema changes automatically; however, R1's Active Directory schema can still be modified to support POSIX accounts. It's just that the same third-party product that provides it to R2 has to be manually installed for R1: Services For Unix 3.5 (SFU). This includes the POSIX schema changes as well as other UNIX utilities and services (for example, NFS). This is useful for people who have Windows Server 2003 R1 who do not want to upgrade to R2.
I hope Jack has more articles to share with us in the future. Great

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia university system chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr. faced tough questions from state legislators Thursday about boosting staff pay and avoiding employee furloughs even as the state struggles to fill a $2 billion budget hole.
Davis defended the move, saying the public college system "must not make decisions that mistake the urgent for the important."
But legislators blasted Davis for raising fees for students - a $100 boost at the state's larger research institutions - while not asking for sacrifices from academics and other system staff.
Most of the university system's 41,000 employees will get raises this year that average 2.5 percent. Davis said he is "philosophically against" furloughs because they only delay budget problems.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
As Kevin mentioned earlier this month, Tuesday is the third annual Read Comics in Public Day. The reason it's worth mentioning again (besides just as a reminder) is that Sue from DC Women Kicking Ass has put a spin on it that's important and cool. This is the second year that she's advocated for the particular need for women to read comic in public. In addition to talking about it on her own blog, she's started a separate Tumblr dedicated to photos of women reading their comics in public spaces.
While Brian Heater and Sarah Morean's Read Comics in Public idea is devoted to raising awareness of the entire medium, Sue's version has a more focused purpose. "I don't care what comic you read," she writes, "but if you are so inclined to read a superhero comic from Marvel or DC, that would be great." The intention, if I understand it correctly, is to fight the perception that superhero comics aren't interesting to women. Sue and others like her fight that perception online every day, but Women Read Comics in Public is an opportunity to do that in the real world.
Of course, the argument can — and should — be made that we don't need a special day for this. This is something that comics readers of either gender can do every day of the year. Without directly putting words into Sue's mouth, I'm going to assume that she agrees with Brian Heater's thoughts about the event's falling in the middle of the week. If that's an inconvenient time for you, "celebrate over the weekend — and during the week. Heck, read comics in public all month long, just to be sure." It's fun to do it on a special day, especially if there's a meet-up, when you know lots of other people are doing it too, but the point is to do it.
(Photo from Tomboy Style)
? I read comics in public 3-4x a week.
Reading comics in public shouldn't be an issue (pun intended) for anyone.
I cant bring myself to read comics in public. If i read them at work i put a different book jacket on them. Emotional scarring from High school perhaps?? Comics weren't always perceived as cool as they are now.
Why separate Women comic book readers from Men? The stigma for reading comic books is out there for both genders. The stares are embarrassing when I'm at my kids' practices, people need to accept it and get over themselves. Everyone should be encouraged to sit and read their books outside of the comic shop and outside of their home. The more they are seen in public the better it is for the industry. There are a lot of 'closet' comic book readers out there and even more that want to buy comics but keep telling themselves their for nerds or losers who still live in their parent's basement.
Stop the stereotypes and encourage EVERYONE to bring their comic books out in public to read!
The big difference is that women are perceived as not being interested in the medium. Consequently, that means that the publishers don't feel the same need to market to them. Hence, you get stuff like the Star Sapphire outfit because nobody is interested in trying to sell to women.
That's why this is important.
Valid point. So does that mean they're pushing women to read books that aren't marketed towards them? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Create a 'Twilight', 'Vampire Diaries' or '50 Shades…' comic book to introduce them to the medium and there you have it! They'll be out reading comic books in droves!
A comic book doesn't have to be just about Superheroes.
As I tried to explain in the post, there are a couple of efforts going on here. The first was to get EVERYONE (of both genders) to get out and read comics in public. That initiative was meant to speak to the general issues that Mike T and Stephen address above.
The second effort piggybacks on that one and is focused on women and superhero comics in particular. Though Sue makes it clear that she doesn't want women to read comics they don't enjoy, the effort is to get women who DO enjoy superhero comics (and she specifically mentions DC and Marvel) to let other women know it's okay to enjoy them too. It's not trying to push women to read something they won't like; it's to help draw out women who are closeted fans of characters like Batman and Spider-Man, but – like Mike T – may not feel comfortable revealing that.
Oh, I agree wholeheartedly that there's more than superheroes. I love Atomic Robo and Walking Dead too much to disagree. But, as far as the world outside is concerned, they're all about superheroes. Across the board. That mindset can make it hard for folks who don't care for superheroes as a concept, male or female, to get on board. And like Michael said, it will be good if more women feel comfortable openly acknowledging they enjoy Batman.
Because let's be honest, everyone should be able to enjoy Batman.
I kind of feel like you've diluted the concept by making it more important for women to do it – I'm not going to do it now, or tell my friends (mostly guys), because Googling "read comics in public day" just gets you a bunch of links to the women only version. Fetishising women doing cool stuff and placing it above generally raising awareness of the medium seems like a misogynistic and belittling continuation in itself, like women being into things men like is rare/a surprise/OHMYGODSOHOT.
Also, in my experience men are more likely to be "closeted" about reading cape comics than women – for them it holds this huge geek stigma that can potentially get them beaten up, while for women it's "cute", "quirky", actual cool or "a bold feminist statement".
I'm not "closeted" about being into comics.I've got the Batman logo tattoo on my arm.I would say I don't go around broadcasting it tho. Mainly because of all the ridiculous questions and conversation. Ex:"Boy I tell u what! If my folks hadn't thrown out all my comics id have a fortune!!" Well if had a dollar for every time I heard that story I'd have a fortune!!
I just want to point out that the girl on the left is reading The Beezer, an awesome UK comic that folded in about 1990. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid, because the characters were quirky even by UK kids' comics standards—Baby Crockett, Colonel Blink, and my favorites, The Numskulls, little guys who lived inside a man's brain and controlled his movements (but not very well). The front-cover comic in my day featured a redhead named Ginger (drawn by Dudley Watkins), and when my sister started dating a tall redhead, my family's shorthand description for him was "He looks just like Ginger from The Beezer."
The comic at her feet is The Topper, which had a similar format to The Beezer—bigger than The Beano and The Dandy, and folded like a broadsheet. I remember my dad reading these comics to me when I was about five years old. So cool to see them again! Maybe I'll dig out an old Beezer annual for tomorrow…
"Seems like a no-brainer to me. Create a 'Twilight', 'Vampire Diaries' or '50 Shades…' comic book to introduce them to the medium and there you have it! They'll be out reading comic books in droves!"
Stephen, I can't tell if you're kidding here or not. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are.
But for anyone who might actually believe this is a good strategy for encouraging women to read comics, I can assure you that we do not need to be pandered to with derivative versions of crappy pop culture franchises. You may get temporary interest with things like that, but it's essentially pink-washing, a shallow attempt to engage a stereotypical woman rather than trying to understand the reasons women aren't reading comics in the same numbers as men. When we say we want comic creators to take us into account, it means we're looking for female characters who are rounded (and I don't mean physically), complex, active, and central.
This is, obviously, related to the idea of reading comics in public (since reading comics in public can help start conversations and get word-of-mouth going among women (and men) about particularly good comics with minimal boob-windows), but it's not quite the same. I see read-comics-in-public day as a much more readerreader/potential reader kind of thing than a publisherreader kind of thing. It's not like publishers are wandering public parks doing male-to-female-ratio headcounts today and realizing "wow, maybe we should start taking women and girls seriously as a readership demographic!".

Access Intelligence, which produces the ELECTRIC POWER conference and exhibition, and its partner Prequalified Ready Employees for Power (PReP Intl.), announce the winners of the first annual Faraday Awards. The Faraday Awards are part of the Veterans in Power (VIP) at ELECTRIC POWER, and recognize outstanding efforts in the electric power sector to recruit, retain, and mentor veterans who are returning to civilian careers after serving in the armed forces.
The Faraday Awards will be presented April 1 as part of the 16th annual ELECTRIC POWER conference and exhibition at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The 2014 Faraday Award recipients are:
"The electric power industry faces a workforce challenge at the same time veterans are looking for meaningful and rewarding careers," says Jamie Reesby, ELECTRIC POWER show director. "Veterans in Power and the Faraday Awards celebrate leadership that is bringing veterans into the industry and then helping to mentor those veterans in their careers. These six honorees will always have a special place as the first recipients of the Faraday Award."
"The power industry is doing the right thing by looking to veterans for outstanding employees," says Matt Sadinsky, CEO of PReP Intl. "Not only do many veterans possess skills that are readily transferrable to the power industry, but most also have a strong sense of mission, which is critical not only to the military but to the power industry. Veterans in Power and the Faraday Awards should help encourage companies across the power sector to recruit, retain, and mentor veterans as a valued part of their workforce."
The AEP/Incremental Systems Corp. program, Power4Vets, is a workforce development training program that prepares military veterans to become NERC Certified Power System Operators through simulation training and focused studies. It also provides coaching and mentoring for job interviews, resume preparation, and job placement assistance. Since its inception, 61 vets have become NERC Certified, 57 have transitioned from military to power industry careers, 36 have transferred from other jobs to power industry careers, and 68 vets have either trained for or upgraded to better jobs in the industry.
The Dominion Resources/Center for Workforce Development program, Troops to Energy, began as a pilot program in September 2011 and was launched nationally in June 2013. Over that period, Dominion has hired more than 270 military veterans, meaning that nearly one of every four Dominion hires since the program began has been a veteran.
The Siemens Energy/Central Piedmont Community College program, Apprenticeship Charlotte, aims to build a pipeline of qualified employees by combining classroom and workplace learning. The program is unique not only because the apprentices are paid by Siemens while they are at work, but they are also paid to attend class. Their tuition and books are also paid for by Siemens.

Ah, but who DOESN'T support health care for all? Why, all the important "people": Mutual of Omaha, Blue Cross, United Health....
And guess who will decide? Mutual of Omaha, Blue Cross, United Health...
The guy who was most responsible for killing the Clinton healthcare plan was a jerk named Jack Weekly. He spearheaded that idiotic ad campaign with the moronic couple sitting at their kitchen table bitching about how terrible it would be to have a decent healthcare plan. For his efforts, he was rewarded with becoming the head of Mutual of Omaha.
A few years back, right around Christmas, he was leaving the Mutual headquarters building. His briefcase got caught in the revolving door, and he tugged at it impatiently. When it came loose suddenly, he fell forward, through the glass of the revolving door, which cut him severely in several places. He died of his injuries several days later.
And there are those who say there is no such thing as karma.
Good Riddance, Weekly.
No S catalina? That is wild! I only hope he sufferd for a while. Lord knows he had the best medical care available.
Too bad however many thousands of dollars were wasted trying to save his life.
You can't really blame greedy sociopaths like Jack Weekly mentioned above. Ultimately, the voters bear responsibility for the failure of our healthcare "system," by voting for politicians (mostly Republicans) who have done everything possible to shred our social safety net and tilt the balance of power in favor of for-profit healthcare.
Meanwhile, as the US continues it's long descent to third-world nation status, every first-world nation has nationalized universal health care.
And they spend HALF (or less) as much to provide the same level of health care that we only give to SOME of our people - but they give it to ALL of their people.
Results matter.
catalina, I love you. That story made my week.

Blitzen Trapper: At Home On The Highway
Blitzen Trapper: At Home On The Highway
Spotlight: Blitzen Trapper Performs 'Astronaut'
Hear More Songs From The Session
"Love The Way You Walk Away"
"American Goldwing"
Blitzen Trapper is duly renowned for its sense of adventure. The Portland, Ore., group is nominally a country or folk band, complete with the requisite drawl from singer Eric Earley, pedal-steel guitar and golden harmonies. But that twang is accompanied by spacey keyboards, prog-rock guitar solos and a healthy dose of experimentation. Since 2007's breakthrough Wild Mountain Nation, each Blitzen Trapper album has been exciting and surprising, even as the group has toned down some of its past eccentricities.
Blitzen Trapper.Tyler Kohlhoff
Last month marked the release of American Goldwing, Blitzen Trapper's sixth album in eight years; it's a record about lost youth and that classically American sense of freedom on the open road. Fittingly enough, Blitzen Trapper is one of the hardest-working bands around — its natural home seems to be the highway it addresses in many of its songs. The band recently performed at Utopia Fest, a quasi-DIY music festival held in the tiny West Texas town of Utopia, before heading to Baton Rouge, La., the next night, some 550 miles in the opposite direction. But all those miles just serve as more inspiration for the group.
In the midst of all this traveling, Blitzen Trapper stopped by KUT 90.5 FM in Austin to play a few songs and talk with KUT's Matt Reilly.

Compare the culture, state and social structure of two or more early civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus Valley.
- Human And Environment Interaction:People who lived in these ancient civilizations had a great impact on the environment. An example of this would be Mesopotamia. In southern Mesopotamia, deforestation, soil erosion, and salinization of soil weakened Sumerian city-states, leading to foreign conquest. The rising populations of the ancient societies may have also contributed to the environmental impacts.
- Interaction of Cultures:Ancient civilizations eventually began to interact with one another. For example, Egypt and Mesopotamia frequently interacted since they were not significantly distant from one another. The exchange of ideas and goods was beneficial for both civilizations. Egypt's agriculture benefited from interaction. Also, Mesopotamia had extensive sea trade with the Indus Valley civilization as early as 2300 B.C.E.
- Innovation:All ancient civilizations strived for advancement. For example, innovation in art, religion, philosophy and language were key in these societies. In time, Egypt developed an alphabetic script and developed a major iron-working industry. This communication and iron working eventually led to the creation of new armor and weaponry which benefitted this society significantly.
- Power:Power defined these ancient civilizations. For example, in ancient Egypt, Pharaohs were the most powerful people. They were considered to be a God in human form. They defined the law of the land and access to the afterlife was linked to proximity to the Pharaoh.
- Hierarchies of Gender:Patriarchy gradually emerged in these ancient civilizations. There are a variety of explanations that may contribute to this. For example, more intensive agriculture with animal-drawn plows and large dairy herds favored male labor over female. Also, men were less important in the household. The association of women with nature because of their natural role in reproduction may have also played a role.
9 Habits of Mind:
- Construct and evaluate arguments: use evidence to make plausible arguments.
- Use documents and other primary data: develop the skills necessary to analyze point of view and context and to understand and interpret information.
- Assess continuity and change over time and over different world regions.
Understand diversity of interpretations through analysis of context, point of view, and frame of reference.
See global patterns and processes over time and space while connecting local developments to global ones
Compare within and among societies, including comparing societies' reactions to global processes.
Consider human commonalities and differences
Explore claims of universal standards in relation to culturally diverse ideas
Explore the persistent relevance of world history to contemporary developments

Company: Raging Stallion Studios
Cast: Justin Christopher, Huessein, Derrick Hanson, Joey Russo, Matthieu Paris, Dominic Pacifico, JD Kollin, François Sagat, Tamas Eszterhazy, Marcos Pirelli, Rafael Alencar
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
When the team at Raging Stallion gets out of the studio, they don't leave their careful attention to superior production behind, as the beautiful photography here shows. In particular, the slam-bang poolside fuckfest with studs Huessein, Tamas Eszterhazy, and Matthieu Paris is a winner. Solo scenes are nearly as entertaining as the rest, thanks to the sublimely uninhibited exhibitionism of Rafael Alencar, François Sagat, and especially Marcos Pirelli, but nothing beats the duo with hung dude Justin Christopher and hungry bottom Dominic Pacifico, a high-energy fuck that ends with a huge cum-shot from Pacifico, literally fucked out of him by Christopher.
RETAILING: Usually high standards technically, with a standout three-way finale and a must-see duo between Justin Christopher and Dominic Pacifico.

Chewie is the same old lovable Wookiee in The Force Awakens, with his grumpy reactions to Finn's attempts at first aid, his complaints about the cold on Starkiller, and his childish assertions to the Resistance doctor that he acted very bravely. He also remains a loyal and fierce ally.
When Han returned to his old life as a smuggler after the fall of his son, Ben, Chewie left his family on Kashyyyk to rejoin his old friend. Chewie's wife, Malla, who was first established in the much maligned Holiday Special, has been made canon in the young reader book A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy. According to the Visual Dictionary, his long absences from home are not unreasonable due to the long-lived nature of Wookiees.
In a deleted scene that made it into the novelization, Chewie makes good on an old warning of Han's. Unkar Plutt, having followed Rey to Maz's castle, threatens her for taking the Falcon. Rey pulls the blaster Han gave her, but Unkar takes it from her, pointing out that the safety is on (which is the reason she remembers it later in the film). Chewie takes the gun from Unkar, who pokes Chewie in his injured arm saying, "Half a Wookiee ain't much to worry about." Chewie then proceeds to rip Unkar's arm off and throw it across the room.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican says European inspectors in the
fight against money laundering have completed a week of meetings
with church officials to ensure that the Holy See's law conforms with international efforts to combat financing of terrorism.
The Vatican said the efforts will yield a report that will be discussed at the Council of Europe, likely in mid-2012.
Earlier this year, Italian prosecutors ordered the release of $33 million seized from a Vatican bank account in a laundering probe. The Vatican denied wrongdoing and said a misunderstanding
triggered the embarrassing probe. The Vatican has since issued new
anti-money laundering laws.
