A dog named Doc Holliday is back to training with his owner after a scary fall and an entire night of being stuck on the ledge of a cliff in Pueblo County.
"I was a little nervous," said Earl Wood, who trains Doc and Doc's sisters for hunting. "They're big-time athletes and I've seen them in predicaments. But I've never seen this."
On Thursday, Wood took Doc and two other dogs out to the Pueblo Reservoir area for a training exercise. But when Doc didn't come back from a run, Wood went to look for him. "I walked over to the cliff, and there he was on the ledge straight below us."
Doc had slipped off the edge of the cliff, and landed on a three-foot-wide ledge 60-feet down, which was halfway between the top and the bottom. Wood knew he wouldn't be able to get to Doc, so he called the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office Animal Rescue. But by then, night was setting in. "It was getting dark by the time we got to where we could repel," said Wood. "And we really didn't want to risk a life at that point, and I was sure that Doc would be all right for the night."
So Doc stayed on the ledge, for a total of 18 hours, before rescuers could repel down to save him the next morning. "They're the real heroes here," said Wood of the sheriff's deputies, including Dylan Jacketta, who repelled down the cliff to save Doc.
"It's nice to help out whenever we can," said Jacketta after the rescue. "Even in this type of call we get to practice, resourcefulness, technique, and skill. Plus we get to reunite two good friends."
By the weekend, Doc was back to training with Wood, unharmed after his ordeal. Wood thinks Doc has a future as a hunting dog in Montana. "He's very hyper, very fast, very strong and very athletic," said Wood. "And he'll do good on the eastern plains of Montana."
Pueblo County Sheriff's Office Emergency Services Bureau has a Search and Rescue component on their volunteer team. In addition, citizens can volunteer for fire, dive, victim advocate, courier, civilian patrol, explorer scout or reserve deputy. If citizens are interested in volunteering at the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office they can call 719.583.6204.

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|II. Mass executions in t... >
I. Introduction
1.After the Wannsee Conference of 20 January, in the Spring of 1942, the Nazi regime began to implement a programme aimed at the complete physical extermination of European Jewry. The victims were either deported to be murdered in gas-chambers in special extermination camps, or came to their death in other ways - whether by execution or due to the devastating living conditions prevailing during their deportation and in the ghettos and work camps.
2.In order to carry out this mass murder of millions of people, the Nazis set up a complex machinery of destruction characterised by a division of labour. When closely examined, the individual elements of this machinery and the manner in which they where co-ordinated, leave no room for doubt that the murder of these people proceeded in a systematic way. The organisation and extent of the deportations; the "liquidation" of ghettos, the selection of those deemed "fit for work" from those "unfit", the exploitation of those "fit" for work in a programme of forced labour which generally led to total exhaustion and death, the construction of regular "death factories", the removal of the corpses and traces of the extermination process - these are all compatible elements of a system of planned mass murder.
3.This system for the implementation of the death of millions of persons "functioned" in its entirety as of July 1942. It thus took more than one year until the mass murder of Jews - initiated in the occupied Soviet areas in June of 1941, and extended to further areas in East and Southeastern Europe from the Fall of 1941 onwards - was transformed into a programme for the extermination of all European Jews.
4.The following report gives proof to the assertion that the mass murders of hundreds of thousands of Jews between the Summer of 1941 and the Summer of 1942 - which were still restricted to the areas of Eastern and Southeastern Europe - were systematic in character. This is to say, these mass murders followed a unified pattern, were carried out on the basis of central commands, and must be regarded as representing a conscious expression of the policy of the Nazi regime. It will be shown that in this time period (Summer 1941 to Summer 1942) essential elements of the Nazi policy of extermination were developed with the goal of murdering more and more people in ever shorter time intervals. As of the Summer, 1942, these plans were assembled into one extermination plan for all of Europe. This report categorically rejects the notion that the murder of European Jews in the Second World War was the consequence of a series of isolated murder campaigns occurring without plan in haphazard and differing ways as a result of decisions by subordinate institutions- i.e. murder actions not displaying a common pattern or unified control.
5.The investigation will cover three complexes: a) mass executions in the occupied Soviet Union in the second half of 1941: b) the regional mass murder of the Jewish civilian population outside of the Soviet Union between the Fall of 1941 and Spring of 1942; c) the transformation of these mass murders into a unified deportation and extermination machinery in the area dominated by Germany in the Spring and Summer of 1942.

Speeding Bullet EV from Ohio State Claims World Speed Record
The sleek battery-powered Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5 poised for a record run over Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.
A team led by engineering students from The Ohio State University has claimed a world land-speed record for electric vehicles (EV) after their sleek Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5 averaged 307 mph across Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats on August 24. The lithium ion battery-powered EV, guided by a professional driver on the 12-mile course, smashed the previous 245 mph world land speed record for battery electric vehicles set in 1999. The new mark is pending certification by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the worldwide motor sports governing body.
Under competition rules, the Bullet was required to make two speed runs, one each in opposite directions, within 60 minutes. At one point, the EV reached 320 mph. The Bullet 2.5 uses the same body and chassis of the hydrogen fuel cell-powered Buckeye Bullet 2, which in 2009 set a FIA-certified world record of 302 mph. The team is supported by French electric vehicle manufacturer Venturi Automobiles. See the Ohio State press release and the Bullet Web site.

CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's president says the disputed constitution just approved in a referendum establishes a new republic and calls on the opposition to join a dialogue to heal rifts and shift the focus to repairing the economy.
Mohammed Morsi said Wednesday he acknowledges the "respectable" proportion that voted against the constitution drafted by his Islamist allies, but offered no concrete gestures to an opposition that has so far rejected his dialogue and vowed to fight the charter. Critics say the charter restricts freedoms and enshrines Islamic rule.
Morsi said he moved swiftly to put the constitution to a referendum to end instability and open the road for development. The opposition had urged him to postpone the vote.

I simply love summer fruit pies - strawberry, blueberry, and cherry. While cream pies aren't my first choice, there is one exception: Key Lime Pie, a tropical-type American dessert created with key lime juice, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk poured into a pie crust. While this dessert, which has roots from the Florida Keys, is a favorite of mine, I've stayed clear of making it because of the safety matter thanks to raw eggs. But I finally discovered how to put it together and made an eggless pie with a fresh lime twist.
Key Lime Pie takes me back to when I was a kid in San Jose. Last weekend after a Barnes and Noble book signing in San Jose, my home town, I drove by the neighborhood I grew up in - and things had changed. The house was renovated much like a recent dream I had. It was easy on the eyes but the giant magnolia tree my dad planted in the front yard was AWOL. Sitting in front of the freshly painted house (it was salmon and now redwood) I got flashbacks of baking with my mom in our quaint kitchen, a cozy place complete with salmon colored countertops, a European white kitchen table, and cookery galore. My mother was queen of pies. Images of a freshly made light yellow-colored Key Lime Pie topped with a grand meringue brought back memories even though the house was no longer mine to enter.
Then, when I was cruising north on El Camino Real, Max's restaurant in Redwood City gave me another blast of the past taste of Key Lime Pie - one they offered and I always wanted to buy a whole one but only ordered a slice each time I visited. When passing by and heading to San Carlos (a place I lived for one fourth of my life) I recalled my 20s, hitchhiking in the Florida Keys all the way down to Key West, enjoying the locals' southern accents, humidity and swimming in a warm ocean. But the South wasn't me. I ended up coming back to northern California, my Golden state. Instead of living my entire life in San Francisco Bay Area, last Saturday and Sunday I realized that you really can't go home again, with respect to Thomas Wolfe. My connection is lost: friends and family have moved or passed, my sweetest hangouts are gone, old buildings are sterile re-dos made without character. But that doesn't mean I can't relive memories of pie.
No-Cook Key Lime Pie
1 cup reduced fat cream cheese, soft
1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk
1 cup frozen creamy whipped topping
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (1 bag of small limes)
2 teaspoons lime rind
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 premium store bought crust, baked, cooled
Whipped cream (optional)
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and milk. Blend well. Fold in juice, rind and vanilla. Place in fridge. Bake pie crust according to directions (it takes a bit longer because of the altitude). Cool. Pour in pie filling. Chill for three hours or until firm. Garnish with lime rind. Top with whipped cream. Serves 10.
This easy-to-make eggless, no-cook Key Lime Pie is worth the money and effort. Its texture is light and creamy and perfectly cut slices are the reward. The taste is not too sweet or too tart. The presentation is sophisticated and more attractive than using a graham cracker crust. (I chose a regular pie crust like my mom and Max's did.) I admit that going back to San Jose was a bittersweet experience. Today, sitting in my cabin on the South Shore, I get it. I can't go back in time, but this rich Key Lime Pie teamed with a cup of iced coffee gave me a piece of my youth as I once knew it. And that's sweet.
Motto: People and places change. Pie is something that you can recreate any time to recapture a bit of the past.

Area college basketball: Upstate preview capsule
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
NORTHERN KENTUCKY at USC UPSTATE
When: 5 p.m. Saturday
Where: Hodge Center
Records: Atlantic Sun Conference); USC Upstate (13-10, 7-3)
Radio: 1400 AM, 97.1 FM
Top scorers: Northern Kentucky — Eshaunte Jones (15.2 ppg.); Jalen Billips (10.3 ppg., 5.7 rpg.); Chad Jackson (9.0 ppg., 5.2 rpg.). USC Upstate — Jr. F Torrey Craig (17.0 ppg., 6.8 rpg.); So. G Ty Greene (13.0 ppg.); Jr. F Ricardo Glenn (9.8 ppg., 8.2 rpg.)
Notes: The Spartans have won all four games so far in this five-game home stand. They beat Lipscomb, 83-71, on Thursday night with junior forward Jodd Maxey reaching career highs with 26 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks. … USC Upstate is in a three-way tie for first place with Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville. Preseason favorite Mercer is a half-game back and Stetson is a full game back. … Northern Kentucky, a newcomer to the league and ineligible for the championship, has won three straight games. The Norse took a 70-68 win Thursday night at East Tennessee State. That was their first win in five league games away from home. They also handled Kennesaw State and put a surprising whipping on Mercer, 63-46, last week in Highland Heights, Ky. … USC Upstate got a 60-54 win Jan. 5 at Northern Kentucky. Craig struggled to just six points and only had six shots. Fred Miller led the Spartans with 11 points off the bench. They were only 3-for-15 on 3-pointers but a perfect 19-for-19 at the foul line to seal the victory. That was USC Upstate's lowest score in a win this season. … Greene leads USC Upstate with 55 assists, but four other players are within six of him. Adrian Rodgers has 53, Maxey 51, Mario Blessing 50 and Ricardo Glenn 49. Craig, the second-leading scorer in the Atlantic Sun, has 43 assists. … USC Upstate is 8-2 at home this season. … Northern Kentucky's deliberate style has made it the No. 2 scoring defense in the league, 60.4 points per game allowed, but also the lowest-scoring offense at 57.7 per game.
Next: USC Upstate heads to Florida to face Stetson on Feb. 7 and Florida Gulf Coast on Feb. 9. Preseason league favorite Mercer comes to Spartanburg on Feb. 14, followed by another home game against Kennesaw State two days later.

DUBLIN -- The Bishop O'Dowd High boys basketball team continues to look like one of the best in Northern California.
The Dragons remained unbeaten against NorCal teams this season with an 89-78 win over El Cerrito in the North Coast Section Division III title game Saturday at Dublin High. It gives the Dragons (26-3) their second straight NCS title and likely sets them up to appear in the California Interscholastic Federation Open Division Northern Regional playoffs, where they'll face the best teams NorCal has to offer.
"We want to play against whomever," O'Dowd coach Lou Richie said. "We have a great bunch of kids. They've exceeded all expectations, and they love playing together."
Much of the focus for O'Dowd is deservedly on 6-foot-9 sophomore Ivan Rabb, and he delivered 25 points and 10 rebounds. But fellow sophomore Paris Austin scored a career-high 27, Michael Perri had 19, and Dominic Gomes added 12 points off the bench.
"We want to run the offense through Ivan, but if they try to bottleneck it, we have other options," Richie said. "The kids played well. They made adjustments."
Despite the loss, the Gauchos (22-10) are still in solid position for the NorCal Division III playoffs.
"It was a good game for the most part, and we've got to get ready for the NorCal playoffs," El Cerrito coach Michael Booker said. "I can tell you this, we will be ready for NorCals."
El Cerrito had a 20-14 lead after the first quarter, but the Dragons scored the first seven points of second quarter to take the lead. There were seven lead changes in the quarter, but another 7-0 run by O'Dowd helped give it a 38-34 halftime advantage.
O'Dowd created distance in the third quarter, building a 55-42 lead. El Cerrito found a burst and scored seven straight, but O'Dowd took a 64-52 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Dragons went on an 8-0 run early in the final quarter to take a 74-55 lead with under six minutes to play.
Tyrell Alcorn led El Cerrito with 16 points, and Marcellus Pippins had 15.

|Denying The Holocaust As ... >>
Deniers' Current Objectives
93.At this point in time, given the sheer impossibility of winning broad acceptance of their views, deniers apparently are content to be thought of as a "point of view" or an "other side". The essential argument posed by CODOH in its advertisements and by other deniers is rooted in the following question: why should individuals espousing an "other side" or an "alternative point of view" be prevented from entering the debate on the Holocaust? To the historical novice, particularly one unfamiliar with material on the Holocaust or with conspiracy theories, this might sound like an entirely reasonable argument. What is wrong with letting all "views" be heard? What damage could be caused by letting another voice enter the conversation? Those who do traditional scholarship often find themselves on the defensive as they are perceived of by the general public and the media as being afraid of letting "alternative ideas" become part of the conversation about the history of the Holocaust.
94.There are a number of fundamental fallacies here. First of all, the notion that there are two sides to every issue is a reflection of the fuzzy thinking prevalent in the media and on many university campuses. The concept of "two sides to every issues" is, of course, a fallacy. Slavery existed in the United States until the end of the Civil War. Pearl Harbor was bombed. John F. Kennedy was assassinated. All these are matters of fact. One can debate the long term ramifications of slavery, whether President Roosevelt knew for a fact that Pearl Harbor was to be bombed, and who shot President Kennedy. But the facts themselves are beyond dispute.
95.The susceptibility of the public, including university students, to this notion of "two sides" is the legacy of sloppy academic thinking. Categorizing the deniers' claims as "another point of view" or an "alternative interpretation" is rooted in yet another fallacy: that the deniers' claims are based on historical data. In fact, theirs is not an iconoclastic rereading of history. It is an intentional misreading of the documentation. Yet another fallacy that the deniers would have the public believe, is that there exists a "debate" about whether there was a Holocaust itself. While there is much that is debated about the Holocaust, there is no debate over whether it actually happened or not. This is a non-existent "debate" in which only one side presents it as a debate: the deniers.

Product Description
In Freight Train each player must run his own freight yard and put together the longest freight trains possible. All players use the same main freight yard which always has cars available, although not every type of car is always available. Players must switch cars from the main freight yard directly to their trains or into their own freight yards.
The game last three days but each day is comprised of a different number of turns. Late in each day the tension mounts as players try to ensure their trains will be one of the two longest. The locomotives are waiting to roll. Are you ready?

Just because it's a game with trains doesn't mean that only the boys will like it! I'm a Mom and enjoy playing this game with my 11 year old son and my husband. We took this game with us when we went on a road trip out west. We exhausted ourselves hiking all day and stayed up late at night playing Freight Train. Warning: the more table space you have, the better.
If you like El Grande, you will likely enjoy Freight Train.
You compete with others for common resources. In this case, train cars. You score points for having the longest train of each type.
Everything is out in the open, so things are pretty deterministic. However, you need to remain flexible in order to do well. You may have your turn planned in advance, then something better comes along. This happens a lot.
There is a common pool of train cars that everyone can consume. Also, each player has temporary storage available in 'their yard' where you can store cards that you want, but can't use right away. Finally you have your trains that you assemble with the various train-car cards.
Each turn you can do 1 of 4 (or 5 if playing advanced) things.
- Take 3 cards from the common pool of train car cards and add them to your existing trains or your private yard.
- You can move 1 to 4 cars from your yard to your existing trains.
- Spend 1 point to rearrange your yard.
- If in the 1st or 2nd round you can call up another locomotive to start an additional train.
- (only in advanced) you can place a caboose on one of your trains. (It will now score double, but you can no longer add cars to it.)
I recommend only playing the advanced game. The rules are easy enough, and it adds a lot to the overall game experience.
The game is played in 3 rounds and the end of a round occurs sort of randomly. An end of day marker is placed in the bottom half of the deck in the first round, the bottom 3rd in the second round, and the bottom 4th in the final round. When the End of Day card is drawn, the current turn is finished and the round ends.
The longest trains for each car type score. You gain points in the first round for having cars in your private yard, and lose points in the final round for having cars remain there.
The game seems to play best with 4 or 5 players if following the rules. For fewer players you are supposed to remove cards of each type. But I think a better modification is to take out an entire train-car type or two. That way it forces people to compete for resources. The rules attempt to force resource competition by giving players more locomotives to build trains with, but it seems like you can't realistically have the longest train with that many types anyway, so people tend to build the ones they can win and don't compete.
For 4 and 5 players though, this game is GREAT as is.
This is one of my favorite Moon designs. It is a lot like Get the Goods, but I find it to be much more rewarding. The theme is running and organising a freight yard and it feels right. There are three days (rounds) and at the end of each you score for having the longest or second longest train in each car type, or one mixed train in which the cars all have to be different. On the first day you also get one point for every 2 cars in your private holding yard. On the last day you get -1 point for each car still there.
During your turn you can choose to do one thing.
- From a common pool of various type of freight cars you choose 3 cars to add to your trains, matching types, or placing them in your own holding yard.
- Pull 1 to 4 trains from your holding yard and add them to your trains (matching type)
- Add another Locomotive and another opportunity to score. This can only be done once on the first and second day.
- Rearrange your private yard. This action costs one victory point. Every time I have seen it used it was to avoid taking cars in the last round which would have to be put into the private yard.
This game is a favorite with my girlfriend and her daughter. The only caution is you will need a lot of table space.

The free software world erupted into cheering when Canonical announced that Ubuntu would be one of the first GNU/Linux distributions to ship pre-installed on Dell machines. Obviously, this is huge news. A major computer manufacturer has not included a GNU/Linux distribution as a pre-installed option on desktops and laptops in a very long time. However, I'm not getting excited until a few questions are answered.
Question 1: What versions of Ubuntu?
Dell has announced they will offer Ubuntu 7.04. Which ones? After all, Canonical offers five different types of Ubuntu: Ubuntu, Kubuntu (with KDE instead of GNOME), Xubuntu (with XFCE instead of GNOME), Edubuntu (with many educational extras thrown in), and Ubuntu Server Edition.
Obviously, the default Ubuntu will be shipped. But what about Kubuntu? There is a huge KDE fan base that would love to have Kubuntu as an option. In fact, there was a recent topic on the kubuntu-users mailing list about this. Xubuntu probably won't be shipped as it is geared towards older desktops. What about Edubuntu, the educational distribution that is rapidly being adopted by teachers and parents? Lastly, will Ubuntu Server Edition be added to Red Hat and SuSE as options for Dell servers?
My guess...
...is that Dell probably won't for the PC department. It will just confuse the average user. Too bad for those of us who are KDE lovers. Whether Ubuntu Server Edition will be added or not is uncertain.
Question 2: What models will include Ubuntu?
Note that in their blog post Dell notes it will offer Ubuntu on select consumer notebooks. Not all. What do they mean by select? Does that mean it will only be offered on a handful of machines? Probably not. But why not at least add that it will be available on certain major series (like the XPS series)?
My guess...
...is as good as yours. Remember that although Dell wants to offer Ubuntu, they also want to offer Windows. If they offer Ubuntu for every computer they sell, Microsoft might start getting mad at Dell. On the other hand, if they only offer it on less popular machines the free software lovers start getting mad.
Question 3: How long will Dell offer Ubuntu pre-installed?
A little known fact is that Dell used to offered Red Hat Linux between 1999 and 2001. Michael Dell at the time was "singing praises" of GNU/Linux. For example, he explained that Dell used it for several jobs, including burning CDs. He even went as far to say that GNU/Linux's market share was the same as Mac OS in terms of units. Sound familiar (except for the part about Mac OS)? Yet, just two years later, Dell quietly got rid of Red Hat. Of course, that was then and this is now. More and more people are choosing to use Ubuntu over Windows. Also, when people see that they could save $200+ (in some cases, as much as the actual machine), that share will probably go significantly up. Then again, maybe people were saying the same thing in 1999.
My guess...
...depends on Question 2. If Dell offers Ubuntu on its major machines, Ubuntu will stick around on Dell. But if they don't...
Question 4: Will Ubuntu come with trialware, bloatware, and junkware?
One thing that everyone is forgetting is that Dell ships virtually every single PC they sell with bloatware. "Free AOL For 99 Hours!", "Try Wild Tangent Games Free for 30 Days!", "Sign Up for Netzero Today, and Get Two Months Free!". Will Ubuntu users be faced with this? Will we see icons on the desktop and menu displaying links to "30 Day Trial of StarOffice", "Try VMWare Workstation for 3 Months", or "Demo Version of Win4Lin Pro"? Luckily, one reason Dell puts this junkware in is to lower the cost of the machine. Take Windows out, and the machine is a ton cheaper. But still, who knows?
My guess...
...is that there very well could be. There probably won't be as much, since $200+ is knocked off the machine's prices by not including Windows. Still, bloatware on Ubuntu wouldn't be very encouraging.
Although the fact that a major computer vendor is now shipping Ubuntu is positive, there are quite a few questions to be answered before people should get excited.
Questions I have for Michael Dell regarding Ubuntu
The questions you raise are valid, but the real opportunity I see for Linux here is that whichever models are available with whichever version of Ubuntu, there will be available a platform from which to run any version of linux. If the driver issue is sorted out for Ubuntu, say, it is sorted out for any other linux. Installing KDE for instance will give you Kubuntu. If the chipset suppliers to Dell for those particular models are advantaged over others then there will be pressure on the competitors to also provide drivers (if they want an inroad to that market) as Dell will probably want to limit the number of chipsets it uses, regardless of whether the linux market is big or not. Having drivers for particular chipsets will mean any model using those same chipsets will run linux, whether Dell chooses to provide linux pre-installed or not.
200$ ???
Where did you get the 200USD difference between Windows-powered vs Ubuntu-powered Dells? We all know how heavily discounted Windows is to OEM, without counting on the further discount that comes from installing bloatware. My estimate is about 20-50USD at most.
What makes you think there
What makes you think there will be any savings at all? It is well known that for large scale licensing of Windows, you have to pay the fee for every machine that is shipped, regardless of whether it is loaded or not.
Dell gets Windows for almost free
I read an article about a GNU/Linux user who requested a refund from Dell for his copy of Windows that he never used. The amount was $35 and change. Just because Microsoft sells windows retail for that much doesn't mean that's what Dell pays. Microsoft almost gives Windows away to Dell to ensure that there is vendor locking. May those days end soon...
As far as question one goes,
As far as question one goes, if you're savvy enough to know what KDE is and that you'd prefer it to GNOME, then it's probably not too hard for you to install the kubuntu-desktop meta-package and remove the ubuntu stuff.
Fact is, those of the linux crowd who buy an Ubuntu PC from Dell won't be doing it for the convenience of having a disro pre-installed. They'll be doing it to show their support of linux in a more mainstream position (and all that that might entail). I guess many of them will end up scrapping Ubuntu and installing something else anyway.
On the other side of the coin, those customers who are new to linux probably don't care which wm/ui they have, so long as their computer Just Works for them.
This is not for gnu/linux veterans
Dell offering one flavour of gnu/linux makes it available to curious newbies who are intimidated by the idea of installing an OS. Of all the newbie-friendly distros around, Ubuntu seems like the obvious choice.
What would they gain by offering even one additional choice? Say Kubuntu, as an example. Then the newb has a choice to make, with no experience to base that decision on. Of the few that stick around long enough to try and figure it out, a sizable portion are likely to stumble upon some gnome vs kde flamefest on the web and walk away in confusion.
This is a great move by Dell, and it's very smart to keep it as simple as possible. If they tried to please linux enthusiasts by offering a variety of distros they'd lose. We're going to install our own anyways, so what's the point of confusing the newbies who will appreciate a pre-installed os.
If you want to nit-pick about the fine details of this deal, go right ahead. But remember, you are the converted, so pleasing you gains us nothing. It's the curious outsider that this is aimed at, not the jaded veteran.
Answers to your questions:
1. Just one, Ubuntu, I hope.
2. A handful at first. I don't imagine it will be too hard to deal with related models - anything that varies primarily by screen/ram/hard drive size shouldn't be an issue to configure.
3. As long as people are buying them.
4. Not a big deal, so long as it is apt-get removable (or whatever tool Ubuntu provides for package management - Synaptic?)
By the way, it costs Dell much less than $200 to put Windows on a machine, and the bloatware also contributes to lowering the price of a box, since it is essentially paid advertising.
So you can continue to sulk about how this deal fails to live up to your standards. For my part I'm optimistic that this will bring more users to GNU/Linux, and more driver support from hardware manufacturers, so that even if I never buy a dell I will benefit from this deal. And if it's still available when I replace my laptop in a few years, it will definitely influence my purchasing decision. Even if I plan to reinstall Debian anyways - at least I'll know the hardware works.
is the glass always half empty?
So much negativity.
1. First of all, there is no reason to complain about Kubuntu not being offered. It's not about which is better: if someone wants Kubuntu, and knows they want Kubuntu, it's as easy as installing kubuntu-desktop. The real issue is hardware compatibility, which brings us to...
2. Dell will only support Ubuntu on "select" models because not all the hardware for all their models is supported by the Linux kernel. Dell will support Ubuntu only on that hardware that they believe offers an appropriate level of quality for their customers (i.e., will minimize the support calls they receive.) This is fine, and having an OEM pushing for greater hardware support for recent devices can only be a good thing.
3. Again, Dell dropped support for Red Hat because it was not cost effective to keep it on. If people really want Ubuntu preinstalled from Dell, it will be profitable, and Dell will continue to offer it.
4. Dell-supported Ubuntu will either come with Dell craplets installed, or the cost will not be impacted as much as we all think. PC's (especially low-end PC's) are so cheap because of all the cost-cutting measures in place, and advertisements that subsidize the cost of your PC are a big part of that. If Dell decides to install craplets in Ubuntu (hopefully with a special Dell APT repo) they can be easily removed or, worst case, replaced in a reinstall of the OS for those who care. Again, the real win here is the hardware support that Dell's weight might bring.
MS threats killed Dell desktop Linux
3. Again, Dell dropped support for Red Hat because it was not cost effective to keep it on. If people really want Ubuntu preinstalled from Dell, it will be profitable, and Dell will continue to offer it.
No - It is common knowledge that Dell dropped its line of desktop RH Linux PC's (while keeping a strong and increasing support for Red Hat on servers) due to strong pressure from MS. Microsoft executive Joachim Kempin wrote "I'm thinking of hitting the OEMs harder than in the past with anti-Linux. ... they should do a delicate dance," with the intention of threatening Dell.
I hope that Dell thinks it can now stand up to MS and make a profit of sales of Linux desktops and laptops to the public and that it is not merely using this as a negotiating tactic with MS.
I agree with Tyler.
I agree with Tyler. Enthusiasts will install their own Gentoo, Debian, Slackware or whatever they like. People who want a computer that just works can use Ubuntu, and not learn about choices for now. In any case, alternate DEs and WMs are apt-gettable.
one big question:
Will Ubuntu customers pay the Windows tax? Dell keeps dodging this question.
Also, are these Ubuntu PCs going to be easy to find and customize? Or hidden away so deeply on their Website that only the most determined person can find them, like the last time they "offered" a Linux desktop PC?
Are they going to be comparable to their windows cousins, or will they be missing components like extra RAM, DVD writers, big hard drives, and so forth? That's what they did before.
Are the Linux pages going to be plastered with "Dell Recommends Vista!" links and ads?
The skepticism about this is well-founded. Time will tell how sincere they are.
Maybe They'll Do Some Custom Work?
My thought process is that if they take the time to set up a system where it will install bloatware for you nice and easily, maybe they'll do the same for the different variants of Ubuntu also. Since you can install the meta-package and run any version from another one, maybe they'll make some type of system where you run a program to install the package of your choice and switch up the environment for you. That's just a real simple example of one situation, but that would be my optimistic hope for Ubuntu and Dell.
Here's another question for you
...WHY is Dell treating the UK like a poor relative or second-class citizen and refusing to preload Linux on its PCs in the country?
Here's another question for you
WHY are Dell shortchanging UK customers and treating them like poor relations/second-class customers by refusing to sell Dell PCs preloaded with Linux in the UK?
Honestly, sometimes I feel like this country will be late to its own funeral.
I know what you mean
I agree. It seems that Europe in general is the last to get some stuff, and then for daft prices. If it works in America, we will hopefully get DellBuntu eventually. Good thing I'm not in the market for a new PC any time soon..
Personally I would have thought launching in Europe would have been a better idea, as the Linux market is supposed to be stronger than the US.
Dell crapplets in Linux
I wonder how long it will be before someone posts a clean-up-dell script to the Ubuntu forum?
I have to wonder - if Dell is required by contract to have a Windows license on EVERY desktop system they sell (and that IS common) then perhaps the Ubuntu machines can have the full range of Windows codecs shipped with them? Unless of course the winblows codec licenses say something about non-windows operating systems . . .
They'd love to, I'm sure...
Problem is that many codecs (like Microsoft's Windows Media) require royalties. That's why win32codecs and libdvdcss are illegal without paying to respective people.
Andrew Min
That's the point
That's the point that AV was making. If MS insists on Dell paying for an MS license for every computer, even the ones shipped with Ubuntu, then those royalties have already been paid.
My question to Mr Dell would be "Will Ubuntu machines come with the full range of legal codecs from Fluendo?". It might cost a fair bit (Google "50 euro to USD") for Dell unless they made an agreement with Fluendo; but that would give us a good multimedia experience out-of-the-box AND support the Gstreamer project.
Those codecs are proprietary software
Personally, I have no interest in using those Fluendo codecs because they're proprietary software (see https://shop.fluendo.com/conditions.php?osCsid=2bcss1qdb1b5q3cv2q1dc5t305). The only reason I use GNU/Linux and other free (as in freedom) software is because it respects my freedom.
GNU - free as in freedom
Be happy that you get Dell support for having hardware support for Linux on there boxes. It is good for all of us.
And to answer your questions:
- As one said, it's an easy "apt-get kde" or use synaptic to get kubuntu, edubuntu, xubunt or what not. I'm ok with Ubuntu. I would be ok with any Linux distribution, but as Ubuntu is Debian-based, I am happy about that :)
- This is actually a valid question. And on what market? As someone wrote, EU is supposed to be a better market for Linux. So why not start there (or at least also there). Or even better, world wide distribution of Ubuntu preinstalled.
- This is an easy one. Until they don't make a profit that is large enough OR MicroSoft threatens them on this. Dell is a company that have to make a living, so I guess the first on (profit) is major, but the second one (MicroSoft) is also an issue here.
- If they want and it is easy to remove, it's ok for me. Just have them install it and I "apt-get --purge remove" it. OR (re)install Debian on it. For me (and most others) this is a non issue. There is other things that is a bigger problem (like not enough customers or MicroSoft threatning Dell for offering Linux on desktops).
So please wait and see what they will give us. REALY hope they get some profit out of it, and start selling Ubuntu on more machines. It will give us all better support for hardware in Linux. Even if you need to "apt-get install kde" to get Kubunto on your machine :)

...bought a flat
yes in hk picutres to come...
That is great news. It is so different owning your own place vs renting. Usually, it´s a good decision financially, but so many of the benefits are intangible.
whereabouts in Hong Kong is it?
Excellent news!
Will the beasts like it?
Awesome!!! Congrats. I love your balcony and view!

I know many runners are super health conscious with their diets and others run so that they can eat whatever they want (and most people fall somewhere in the middle). So, what do you eat?
I usually eat lots of fruits (mainly apples, bananas, and pears), salads and cut vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and celery), whole grains, nuts (walnuts, cashews, and peanuts), and chicken. My "go to" breakfast and snack food is Kashi Go-Lean Crunch cereal, usually with some fat free yogurt and soy milk. I try and avoid high fructose corn syrup, but that's much easier said than done. It's not without good reason that my wife calls me "Rice Cake Boy"...
Hi...I wanted to take the time to tell what I eat and why... Everyday I eat the same thing at the same time:
Breakfast: 2 egg whites and 1 whole wheat toast (ezekiel bread)
Snack: 1 cup cereal (joe's o's or Flaux whole grain); 1 cup fat free milk (lactose); 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein (VPX zero carb)
Lunch: 1 whole wheat bread (ezekiel); 2 slices chicken lunch meat (99% fat free); 1/2 slice tomato; some spinach leaves; and a little mustard
Dinner: 2 whole wheat bread (ezekiel); 3 chicken tenders (99% fat free, broiled); 1 slice swiss chees (lactose); 2 slice tomato, and spinach leaves
Snack: 1 whole wheat toast (ezekiel); 1/2 tbs. sugar free jelly; 1 cup tea (caffein free Refresh mint)
Now let me explain: I am hypgycemic so I can't eat any sugar what so ever... I eat the same thing because it is easy for me and I enjoy it! I am at 4% body fat right now and weigh 100 pounds. I run 3 days a week and lift weights 3 days a week and take one day off. As you can tell I live for fitness...
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate all the detail you included. It sounds like it is working well for you. Are you concerned about the lack of variety in your diet? I have read a number of articles that strongly recommend eating a wide range of foods in order to get more of the different vitamins, minerals, etc. that the human body requires. Do you take daily supplements?
WoW, that is too bad that you can't have ANY sugar! It obviously must be very restrictive. Do you have a "cheat day" during the week? Also, do you feel hungry?
no I do not take any supplements and I am not worried about anything to do with variety in my diet...once and a while my husband I go out to eat either Indian or Thai. My husband is hypoglycemic too so he eats like I do just a little different...I mean he doesn't track it and he eats more
no I don't really have cheat days and I don't feel hungry...Even if I could have sugar I wouldn't because it is so bad for you and I have fitness goals...so I am very motivated to stay on track with my work-outs and nutrition. As for cheating...I go out to eat once and while Indian or Thai but eat small portions and know how to order things with no sugar...I also know the calories, fats, and carbs that are in everything I eat...I keep track of it in a log.

How did you come up with this daily menu? I imagine you put a lot of thought into it and it sounds like it is working very well for you. I guess I'm just surprised that you are able to get everything your body needs without ever eating certain food groups like legumes, nuts, orange vegetables, fruit (I assume that's a sugar issue), etc. I love how disciplined you are (and I think 5 smaller meals throughout the day is a great way to go); I would think that really benefits you as an athlete. Also, how has your hypoglycemia impacted your training/workouts and what adjustments have you made that have helped out?
I came up with this menu by chance actually... I just found something that really worked for me and have stuck with it Eating the smaller meals has really helped by keeping my blood sugar levels stabel so I don't have any crazy spikes and am able to have crazy energy all day... I tend to work-out between breakfast and snack... I know that what I do and the way I work-out and eat no one else would be able to do... at least not on a permanent basis...most would just eat and train the way I do for a certain race or season..but for me it is how I choose to live. I enjoy it and like I said I love pushing limits...I just really want to find either a club or someone to train with for marathons..I want to be pushed harder and I know that I can.

Running marathons is a great goal. What sort of "fuel" do you think you might bring with you on long training runs? Would you be able to take Shot Bloks, Gu, etc.?
Before my work-outs I take no-xplode by BSN it is sugar free and it gives me plenty of fuel. I can't take any of those shot things and after the work-outs I have the cereal with milk and protein powder... so it all works out just perfectly For example... I am running in the great race on April 5th and I won't eat breakfast before I will just take the no-xplode drink mix and then run and after the run I will have my 2 egg whites and 1 whole wheat toast which will be in a lunch pale with my parents at the finish line I always think ahead and plan out every day exactly...I am a creature of nature and I am like I said before obsessed with fitness and nutrition and pushin the limits.
If you don't already know about nuun, you may want to check it out. I use it to stay hydrated during my long training runs (if I'll be out longer than an hour and a half). It seems like it could be a good fit for you. http://www.nuun.com/nuunis/whatisnuun.html
What a great thread! I am currently trying to get together a meal plan for me that will fit me good. My biggest issue is that I feel hungry all the time and so then I eat what I shouldn't so I'm going to go grocery shopping and buy the things that would be good for me. So I was curious do you guys stay away from carbs?
Jillymarie wrote:

Heck no! Carbs are the essential fuel your muscles need in order to be active. What you need to do is avoid the simple processed carbs. Stay away from refined sugars (high fructose corn syrup is from the devil!), "enriched" or "fortified" flour products, etc. Read food labels. Instead, eat good old-fashion fruits and vegetables as well as products made with whole grains (again, check the label to see what percentage is actually whole grains). These products are more slowly digested by your body and allow you to feel full longer.
I am new to the "fueling" my muscles for running but have noticed that what i eat affects how i run. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables but have often wondered if i am eating too much of them. Honestly, as long as it is a fruit or vegetable i don't really limit my serving sizes.
Do you think i should limit the ammount of fruits & vegetables OR eat as much as i can.
Note: i am talking straight fruits and vegetables -- I do not add butter, dressing, etc....
That is great that you eat plenty of fruits and vegitables... but as a runner it is very important that you eat carbs and protein. Depending on how hard you are training, how many miles you are running, what your goals are, etc... will also depend on what you should be eating. Being that I do not know your exact situation and different foods effect people differently I can't really say what you should and should not eat. However, I will recommend that you make sure you are taking in more carbs (whole wheat) and protein (chicken and fish) to fuel your muscles and give you energy. Fruits tend to have a lot of sugar so they can spike your blood sugar levels and then you can crash. Fruits are good snacks but I would say 1-2 servings a day is more than enough for fruits. Veg. are great all day... You can have different veg. with each meal. Spinach is by far the best... Hope this helps!!!

Mark Twain's only play was titled "Is He Dead?"
The answer appears to be yes regarding the venue named after the author who famously wrote about his time at Lake Tahoe.
The Mark Twain Cultural Center, an Incline Village venue since opening July 2, 2010, has presented music, theater, living history, school programs, lectures and appearances from its co-proprietor, McAvoy Layne, who for 24 years at Lake Tahoe has impersonated author Samuel Clemens as "the Ghost of Mark Twain."
While it could produce Groucho Marx from the rafters, nuevo flamenco guitarists upon a stage and a dead-ringer for one of America's greatest authors from behind a doorway, it could not draw a steady audience during wintertime.
Two final events are scheduled for Friday, Dec. 9, and Dec. 30, before the center shuts down.
"We had a wonderful, generous agreement from the landlord and we got great breaks from advertising and press coverage," Layne said. "We had everything going our way. ... We do make enough money in the summer, but not enough to make it through in the winter."
A couple of authors who lectured at the Twain Center were disappointed to hear of its demise.
"I thought it was a great idea that would catch on," said David C. Antonucci, who this year published his second book, "Fairest Picture: Mark Twain at Lake Tahoe."
"Something like this hadn't been done before. Usually entertainment is associated with a casino or a restaurant, and this was a stand-alone cultural center without government subsidy, without much outside help trying to stand on its own. So, to me, I thought it was courageous. Tahoe is a really tough business environment."
Paul McHugh, an author and former San Francisco Chronicle outdoors writer, twice spoke in the Village Center's corner confines.
"A comfortable, warm and intimate performance space is an incredible asset for any community," McHugh wrote in an e-mail to Lake Tahoe Action. "It provides a place for neighbors to gather in a convivial setting, and it offers an opportunity for local performers to develop and hone their craft. A good community center is equal parts Irish pub, secular church, and a chautauqua with roots.
"What Rebecca and McAvoy (Layne) created was one of the best such centers I have seen since the heyday of The Well in Mendocino or The Sleeping Lady Cafe in Fairfax, both in the 1970s, which shows you how rare and special these places can be. Fueled by Rebecca's kindness and McAvoy's charisma, the MTCC was as homey as a friend's living room, and as exciting as a live performance by an unknown artist heading for stardom."
The Twain Center raised $5,600 for charities, Layne said.
McAvoy Layne said he and his wife might look into opening a venue at South Shore. He also would consider teaming up with a nonprofit organization, another business or both.
"We have one ace in the hole; we put out a feeler to Toccata," he said. "If that, in fact, happens we might throw out another feeler to e-Learning Cafe; they've sort of outgrown their little place (in the Raley's Center). So they could have it during the day and we could share it with Toccata at night. I think we'd appeal to very much the same audience."
McHugh hopes the couple continues to offer entertainment.
"It was my privilege to be able to give two presentations at the MTCC, and I can say that I - and I hope my audiences - enjoyed those experiences entirely," he said.
"I don't know what Rebecca and 'Mac' plan to do next, but I hope they will devote their skills and talents to nurturing similar events, somehow, somewhere, someday. I wish them the best, and were I in charge of MacArthur (genius) grants, I'd certainly award them one! And maybe, two."
Layne for several years has written a weekly newspaper column, "Pine Nuts." He allowed a preview of his upcoming words:
"The effort-reward formula that underpins capitalism is what inspired the Twain Center. The proprietors believed if you have a good product, are smart, try hard and play by the rules, well, you are destined to succeed. ... (But) the break-even fairy failed to arrive. The success story evaporated as ephemerally as a whiff of smoke from an expensive wood-burning stove."
While attendance has been low this winter, Layne recommended reservations be made for Friday's Arts For the Schools fundraiser presentation of "Roughing It Part One," where the Ghost of Twain will share his boyhood adventures on the river, with Marion Rangers, Overland, Virginia City and Lake Tahoe. The doors open at 6 p.m. and author Michael Makley begins the entertainment at 6:30 p.m. with a lecture about his new book, "A Short History of Lake Tahoe." The cost is $15 for adults and $5 for seniors, students and military.
"An Evening with Mark Twain" on Dec. 30 will be what Layne called "a champagne farewell."
"It is rumored," Layne said, "Mark Twain will sing the Lesley Gore song 'It's my Party and I'll Cry if I want to.' "
