Kramden Institute and open education
Computers are today's pencils
Not everyone has a computer. And, not all schools have access to the types of technology that are second nature to many of us at our workplace. It is also true that many people in the general public don't know about open source and the free alternatives that are available to them, like LibreOffice instead of Micrsoft Word.
The Kramden Institute is doing something about it by refurbishing computers and installing Ubermix on them, which is an open source operating system preloaded with over 60 educational, science, and learning applications for students.
Owning a personal computer has been made a reality for over 12,500 kids so far who were otherwise lacking and thus having a hard time crossing the digital divide. And, more schools' computer labs have a leg up with Ubermix.
This video shows just how massive the effort is—piles of computer parts, volunteers assembling computers, and kids understanding hard drives!

Pennies apiece, need no batteries, can be carried in just about any pocket. Nope. The pencil is still the pencil of today.
I think you missing the point which is that having computers in school is just as import as having pencils in school, not that their is no longer a need for pencils.
Today, our prevailing information landscape is networked, digital, and abundant. If students do not have convenient access to the technologies that help us read, work and communicate in this environment, then we're just preparing them for the 1950s...
I don't want to take away from what the Kramden Institue has done here, but shouldn't there be at least a respectful nod to Reglue (formerly Helios)? The non-profit organization that Ken Starks founded has been getting computers into the hands of underprivileged families and communities for nearly 20 years now. The man deserves a lot more recognition than he gets for the example he has been providing.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 reviewMonday September 17 2012 Sensor Review
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GF5's offers some new tricks in a remodeled GF3 camera body. It whips up better video and audio options, and it incorporates new user features like creative control filters, and scene guide modes (provides beginning photographers with picture guides on how a professional photographer might shoot a particular scene).
The GF5 also disappoints in its sensor quality. Panasonic made no significant evolutionary changes to the GF5's sensor, putting the Lumix DMC-GF line at risk from hungry competitors' eager to pick off prospective Panasonic customers.
Further readings for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The compactness, flexibility for interchange lenses, and touchscreen focus and interface makes Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GF5 an attractive companion for amateur photographers who want the usability of a point-and-shoot, but the versatility of a DSLR. But with a number of similar hybrid cameras entering the market, is the GF5 right for you?

WAILUKU - Although Jim Balicanta was known as a talented teacher and musician, there was another side of him that most people didn't see, a deputy prosecutor said.
The former Iao Intermediate School substitute band teacher was sentenced Friday to a 20-year prison term for sexually assaulting a former student over a three-year period.
"Only the defendant knows the side of him that is dark, the side he doesn't want his family and friends to see," said First Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rivera. "He has led a life of hypocrisy where he can be a great person to others and be this demon or person that's capable of unconscionable acts on a child."
Article Photos
Jim Balicanta, shown during his plea hearing in September, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Balicanta, 40, had pleaded no contest to eight counts each of first- and third-degree sexual assault of the girl, who was in the 8th grade when the sexual assaults began.
Rivera said Balicanta subjected the 13-year-old girl "to acts that adults don't even subject adults to" while saying he was the girl's boyfriend.
As a 40-year-old Army veteran and college graduate who had been married and divorced, Balicanta couldn't have been in a relationship with the girl, Rivera said.
"This should never ever have happened," Rivera said. "It's not a lapse in judgment. It's not a mistake. This is a conscious, intentional, deliberate, knowing act."
As part of a plea agreement dismissing 36 other counts of sexual assault, Balicanta agreed to the 20-year prison sentence, said Deputy Public Defender William "Pili" McGrath.
"This is a case where numerous people have been seriously damaged by Mr. Balicanta's lapse of judgment," McGrath said.
He attributed what happened to a "combination of loneliness and alcoholism."
Balicanta is from a well-respected family, McGrath said, and several students and parents wrote letters to the court for him.
"Everyone's a loser here - the girl, the community and him," McGrath said. "When he gets out, he'll no longer be able to practice his profession."
Balicanta said that he had hoped to apologize to the girl and her parents, but they weren't in court for the sentencing Friday.
"I'm so remorseful and so saddened by the fact that a person I cared for was hurt by me," he said. "Because of that, I almost don't care what happens to me.
"I have been programmed in my life to be disappointed by failure. I know I've disappointed people greatly. It's something I'm going to have to carry with me for the rest of my life."
His 76-year-old mother, Loretta Balicanta, a retired teacher, said her son has a "special gift of teaching, and he reached so many students."
"He would come home and say, 'My students can do better. I am not going to lower my standards,' '' she said.
Rivera didn't dispute the comments about Jim Balicanta's talents as a teacher and musician. "But what is concerning and what is troubling is the notion that he was given a gift and he's a great person, therefore he can't be a predator," Rivera said.
"There's no question the defendant is a sexual predator," Rivera said. "He abused his position of trust. He abused and misused the gift he has of music. He wasn't satisfied with being a good teacher and musician. He had to use that for his own gratification."
Rivera said the girl continues to suffer psychologically and physically.
Second Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo, who followed the plea agreement in sentencing Balicanta, said she hoped that the girl would one day have a normal life.
"You took away her innocence. You took away her youth," Loo told Balicanta.
The judge said Balicanta had been paid to give music lessons to the girl and committed the sexual assaults in the school band room and in his office, as well as at his residence, her residence and a relative's residence.
Loo said she was "extremely bothered" by Balicanta's contention that he and the girl were in love and that she consented.
"As talented as you may be in music, the only song you will be singing is a song to the tune of 20 years," the judge told Balicanta.
He was ordered to pay $400 in restitution.
Balicanta has been held at the Maui Community Correctional Center in lieu of $750,000 bail since his arrest in April. According to the state Department of Education, Balicanta hasn't worked as a substitute teacher since the sexual assault allegations surfaced in January.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Football coach Bill O'Brien and other Penn State coaches will take part in the second annual Coaches Caravan tour this spring, making 12 stops beginning April 30.
At each stop, Penn Staters will have the opportunity to hear from O'Brien and at least one other head coach and ask questions about the Nittany Lions' nationally recognized 31-sport athletic program at a lunch or evening event.
O'Brien is scheduled to participate in all 12 Coaches Caravan stops and will be joined by other Penn State head coaches, who also will meet with fans during the lunch or evening receptions prior to the program.
"We had a great turnout of Penn State alumni and fans during the Coaches Caravan last year, and I enjoyed meeting so many people who have great pride and passion for Penn State," O'Brien said in a university statement. "It's important for me to get around Pennsylvania and other areas where we have a lot of alumni and give them a chance to get to know me and to hear from them.
"They need to hear about my philosophy and vision for the future and how we are moving forward. I knew Penn State was a special place when I came here, and my experiences over the past year have only made that more apparent."

O'Brien was selected the 2012 Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN National Coach of the Year and the Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading the Nittany Lions to wins in eight of their final 10 games and an 8-4 finish. During each of the Coaches Caravan events, O'Brien will talk about his core principles for the program, vision for moving Penn State football to the next level and preparations for the 2013 season, as well as how all Penn State alumni and fans can make a difference for the program.
O'Brien and his fellow head coaches have championed Penn State's "One Team" philosophy this year, with the 31 varsity teams, athletics, campuses, communities and constituencies all playing a role in the Nittany Lions' academic and athletic success.
Penn State has captured six Big Ten Championships thus far in 2012-13, while earning an NCAA graduation rate of 88 percent and a school record 100 Academic all-Big Ten honorees among the fall sport student-athletes.
The Penn State Coaches Caravan, jointly sponsored by the Penn State Alumni Association and the Nittany Lion Club, kicks off April 30 with events in Reading and Philadelphia and will visit Nittany Nation strongholds throughout Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic through May 9.

Lancaster police seized 27 firearms from a home in the town Thursday morning during a domestic call.
They also arrested a man, Richard R. Brant, but would not release Brant's age or say where in town that he lives.
Brant greeted officers at his door Tuesday morning after police were called to report a stabbing at the address, according to a press release issued by the department Thursday night.
He told officers he had not been stabbed, but when officers found his wife at a neighboring address, she told them she had stabbed Brant while he was choking her during an argument, according to the release.
Brant was charged with criminal obstruction of breathing and taken into custody after he was treated for a minor stab wound to his upper body, police said.
Officers reported finding 27 firearms in the Brant home and said they took all the weapons into police custody.

The MetroWest Daily News was kind enough to admit that the United States has an Establishment Clause problem. Here's the candid admission:
"We�re pleased to report that the seasonal hyperventilating over an alleged "war on Christmas" has largely passed, with just a little grousing over officials who dare call a Christmas tree a �holiday tree,� and a minor fracas over the race of the mythical Santa Claus. We know of no local lawsuits over holiday decorations, no protests over the words store clerks use to greet shoppers.
But it there was a war on Christmas, Christmas won. Not only that, victorious Christmas is now making war on other holidays. Again this year it breached the defenses of Thanksgiving, with stores in many states starting their Black Friday sales on Thursday. Christmas store decorations have begun showing up alongside Halloween decorations in October."
One of the interesting and growing problems in recent years has been the explosion of Christian bigotry against people of other faiths, and not only in the effort to lock up all the moslems.� This year, Chanukah came in November and it was barely noticed, as Rick concedes. This year, we put up more public menorahs than ever before, had more public celebrations than ever before, and, yet, lawsuits were almost non-existent and problems were nary to be seen. I have concluded that this is because the Christian world didn't see Chanukah as a threat to the dominance of Christmas this year. As Rick notes, Christmas seems to have a problem with what it perceives as "competition."� God forbid it should even compete with Halloween. Next year, maybe July 4th will fall as well. One of the things that maybe should be examined so closely on this Christmas Day is why Christians feel so threatened that they need to wage war on everyone, as even Rick notes. Is that the message of the season?

In a new web post Wednesday, George Zimmerman's defense said they will make public from now on all documents filed in connection with the state's murder case against him.
In its last web post, Zimmerman's defense asked for public feedback. In response, Zimmerman's defense said they will post on their gzlegalcase.com website all documents.
Attorneys said that way they can avoid being accused of editorializing by posting only documents favorable to Zimmerman's cause.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the February shooting of Trayvon Martin and has pleaded not guilty.

In its second-to-last match of the regular season, the Stetson University volleyball team dropped a 3-1 (25-14, 25-15, 20-25, 25-17) decision to host Lipscomb Friday night at Allen Arena.
Tiffany Creamer (11 kills, 10 digs) and Kaley Melville (10 kills, 11 digs) each reached double-doubles to lead the Hatters. Kayla Weller added 37 assists, and Alexa Drost picked up 17 digs.
"The girls came out flat in games one and two, but I was proud of them for picking it up in games three and four," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "Some of the girls were playing through injuries and illnesses, and overall I was pleased with the effort. After we got down a couple of games we didn't give up and fought back and made it into a match."
Loesch also said that Madison Akins and Michelle Kastner gave the team a spark off the bench, and Drost was very steady at the libero position.
The Hatters (18-14, 9-8 A-Sun) learned that they will play Florida Gulf Coast in next week's Atlantic Sun Championship quarterfinals as the Eagles clinched a playoff berth and at least a no. 5 seed with a win at Northern Kentucky. Stetson and FGCU are tied for fourth in the league standings the teams' seedings will be determined after play is completed on Saturday.
Jewell Dobson had 18 kills to lead the Bisons (20-7, 14-3).
Stetson will close the regular season at Northern Kentucky at 3 p.m. Saturday.

This paper provides a new approach to testing for accrual-based earnings management. Our approach exploits the inherent property of accrual accounting that any accrual-based earnings management in one period must reverse in another period. If the researcher has priors concerning the timing of the reversal, incorporating these priors significantly improves the power and specification of tests for earnings management. Our results indicate that incorporating reversals can increase test power by over 40% and also provides a robust solution for mitigating model misspecification arising from correlated omitted variables.

Internet Protocol (IP) is the system that allows devices to find and connect to each other online. IPv4 was designed in the early 1980s, a time when no one could have predicted the explosive growth of the Internet.
For years, regulators and Internet experts have warned about IPv4's limited pool of addresses. Its successor, IPv6, has the features and solutions the modern Internet requires: greater connection integrity and security as well as the ability to support web-capable devices. But IPv6's significant changes could also introduce security holes into your environment.
The transition to IPv6 is inevitable, but migration requires considerable effort, preparation and consideration. If done incorrectly, it can leave gaping security holes in your network systems. Without careful planning, you could accidentally run both IPv4 and IPv6, nullifying the security you set up around either protocol.
That's why it's vital that security solutions provide full compatibility with the new infrastructures.
In 1981, the four billion addresses IPv4 could provide seemed ample given the relatively limited number of computers back then. Three decades later, computers and a wide variety of other devices also use network connections, from smartphones, tablets and game consoles, to TVs and even cars and fridges. Suddenly those four billion addresses in the available address pool are inadequate.
IPv6 offers a significantly larger pool of addresses by using 128-bit addresses: 340 undecillion (3.4×1038), compared with the 4.3 billion available in 32-bit IPv4 addresses. This extended pool provides scalability, but also introduces additional security by making host scanning and identification more challenging for attackers. Along with new addresses, IPv6 also provides a range of benefits for security, integrity and performance.
IPv6 can run end-to-end encryption. While this technology was retrofitted into IPv4, it remains an optional extra that isn't universally used. The encryption and integrity-checking used in current VPNs is a standard component in IPv6, available for all connections and supported by all compatible devices and systems. Widespread adoption of IPv6 will therefore make man-in-the-middle attacks significantly more difficult.
IPv6 also supports more-secure name resolution. The Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol is capable of enabling cryptographic confirmation that a host is who it claims to be at connection time. This renders Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning and other naming-based attacks more difficult. And while not a replacement for application- or service-layer verification, it still offers an improved level of trust in connections. With IPv4 it's fairly easy for an attacker to redirect traffic between two legitimate hosts and manipulate the conversation or at least observe it. IPv6 makes this very hard.
This added security depends entirely on proper design and implementation, and the more complex and flexible infrastructure of IPv6 makes for more work. Nevertheless, properly configured, IPv6 networking will be significantly more secure than its predecessor.
So far, cybercriminals have paid little attention to IPv6, but already we've seen widespread malware with IPv6-based command-and-control capabilities. So if your server enables IPv6 by default but your firewall doesn't, which may be the case for many, we'll inevitably see more abuse for malicious ends.
Proper deployment and configuration is a serious issue. Trying to deploy IPv6 the same way IPv4 was done guarantees problems. IT administrators must learn a whole new approach to networking, from simple network troubleshooting to configuring firewalls and monitoring security logs. There are many opportunities for confusion and mistakes.
There's no instant switch to change from IPv4 to IPv6, so partial adoption means using tunneling technologies to transport IPv6 over IPv4. This kind of workaround is another potential source of confusion, misconfiguration and security gaps.
As adoption of IPv6 picks up and cybercriminals spend more time and effort analyzing how to subvert its built-in security, it's likely we'll see more problems. As new problems are uncovered, we'll need new methods and tools to overcome them.
Many security products will require changes to handle new networking patterns, both as a transport medium for updates, lookups, and management and reporting systems and to ensure continued provision of scanning and protection features.
As network practices evolve and new vulnerabilities and threat vectors appear, security providers must be ready to face them. Security vendors will need to invest time and money to ensure complete support for IPv6, and must stay alert for the new dangers IPv6 will bring.
IPv6 migration is a question of "when," not "if." Services like Google and Facebook are currently available via IPv6 and several large ISPs, telecommunications and web service providers are actively migrating. Mobile operators have pushed for wider IPv6 implementation to support their high-speed networks. All businesses should consider their adoption plans, if they haven't already.
Below are design and configuration considerations to keep in mind when planning and implementing the switch:
Be cautious when using tunneling during the initial overlap period. Tunnels provide vital connectivity between IPv4 and IPv6 components or enable partial IPv6 in parts of your network still based on IPv4, but they can also introduce security risks. Keep tunnels to a minimum and use only where absolutely necessary. Carefully check the setup of "automatic tunneling" tools. Traffic tunneling will also make network security systems less likely to identify attacks.
Look at the bigger picture. Network layout under IPv6 is very different from IPv4, so replicating your existing setup won't provide ideal results. Redesign your network structures to get the best out of IPv6. Don't run multiple migrations and be sure to consider the architecture of both the Internet facing and LAN resources—don't casually get rid of your DMZ!
Confirm that your entire networking infrastructure is compatible and up to date. It's easy to miss switches and routers in patching regimes, so update these to the latest versions of firmware and software. If these devices aren't ready for IPv6, devise a plan. IPv6 may introduce risks at the protocol level and many organizations do not include their network infrastructure in their patching plans, which might leave them open to nasty attacks. Now's the time to check your processes in this area.
Ensure desktop security includes data loss prevention and web security. You may need to upgrade or reconfigure your firewalls as well. Make sure your endpoint provider has the full range of controls you require to replace conventional perimeter controls.
Don't enable IPv6 until you're fully ready. Many platforms come with IPv6 enabled by default, but make sure it's switched off until properly configured. Many current firewalls focus exclusively on IPv4 and will not filter IPv6 traffic at all—leaving systems completely exposed. Disable unnecessary services and check the ports and protocols used by the services you need. Running IPv6 by default could allow attackers to bypass security controls and wreak havoc.
As use of IPv6 increases, security requirements evolve. Sophos has invested in capabilities in our endpoint products to restrict the use of IPv6 until you're ready to use it. The switch to IPv6 may seem overwhelming, but take it step by step and make sure all your bases are covered.

WASHINGTON — Democrats retained their majority in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, an outcome that leaves a divided Congress that closely resembles the one that has been gridlocked for the past two years on some of the nation's most pressing issues.
A combination of misfortune and mistakes left Republicans unable to seize control for the second straight election in which they were early favorites to make historic gains.
In a key race between Virginia political heavyweights, former Gov. Tim Kaine, D, defeated former Sen. George Allen, R.
Kaine's victory ended an attempt at political redemption by Allen, a one-time presidential contender who was unseated in 2006 by Sen. James Webb , D.
The Democrats flipped Republican Senate seats as the GOP saw sure-bet Indiana slip away. Democrat Rep. Joe Donnelly defeated conservative state treasurer Richard Mourdock, who sank after saying that he believed that pregnancies that result from rape reflected the will of God.
In Massachusetts, liberal hero Elizabeth Warren gave Democrats an emotional win by snatching back the seat once held by Sen. Edward Kennedy, D, from Republican Scott Brown.
After a series of hard-fought and sometimes nasty battles in Senate races that spanned the country, little changed in the chamber: Democrats were likely to expand on their current 53-to-47-seat edge.
But neither party appeared to be in a position to gain the seats necessary to win a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority, meaning a continuation of the gridlock that has been a hallmark of the modern Senate.
Still, a bare majority for Democrats offers them the chance to control the chamber's agenda and committee structure. With that edge comes new leverage in negotiations over the nation's most difficult problems, including fiscal issues that must be addressed even before the next Senate takes office.
With the GOP retaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats needed to hold the Senate as a legislative ally to a reelected President Barack Obama.
Until recently, Democrats were thought to be in danger of losing the Senate, given that only 10 Republican seats were up for grab this year, while 23 Democratic seats were in play, including in a number of Republican-leaning states.
The GOP missteps of the 2012 race are likely to lead to a party reckoning before 2014, when Democrats will once again be defending more seats than Republicans.
Republican troubles began when moderate Sen. Olympia Snowe, R, announced her retirement, citing the Senate's bitter partisanship, paving the way the loss of a GOP seat to independent former Maine governor Angus King.
Then establishment Republicans lost control of state nominating contests, as they did in 2010, and watched as the fate of the Senate was handed to candidates ill-suited to general elections.
Two Republicans who won their party's nomination with an appeal to the party's right uttered cringe-worthy statements about abortion and rape, putting likely GOP wins in doubt.
In Missouri, Rep. Todd Akin, R, was abandoned by national Republicans, including Mitt Romney, after saying that pregnancies rarely result from from "legitimate rape."
He apologized but was haunted by the remark and lost Tuesday to Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, who was once thought to be one of the nation's most endangered incumbents.
The Democratic win in Indiana was especially painful to Republicans because Mourdock got on the ballot only after defeating 36-year incumbent Sen. Dick Lugar, R, in a bitter primary battle.
Republicans were also plagued with difficulties recruiting top-notch candidates, leaving lesser-known or flawed nominees battling in some of the nation's biggest and most important electoral contests.
In Florida, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson defeated Rep. Connie Mack, even as Romney and Obama were locked in a tight race late in the evening in the state.
The same was true in all-important Ohio, where Sen. Sherrod Brown, D, defeated state treasurer Josh Mandel.
Some of the nation's marquee races were centered in states where the presidential election was not in doubt.
They included Massachusetts, home to perhaps the country's most closely watched Senate campaign. There, Brown campaigned as an independent-minded everyman against consumer crusader Warren, who argued that Obama needed a Democratic ally in the Senate.
The contest held deep emotional resonance for both sides. Democrats longed to regain a seat that had been lost in a special election after Kennedy's death in a race that was dominated by the national debate over health care reform.
In Connecticut, former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, R, also ran as an independent voice, but lost to Rep. Chris Murphy despite spending millions of her own money to convince voters supporting Obama that they could also vote for her.
Romney was expected to easily win the presidential race in Montana and North Dakota — but the deeply conservative states were home to two of the nation's most hotly contested Senate races.
In Montana, Sen. Jon Tester, D, faced Rep. Denny Rehberg. And in North Dakota, Rep. Rick Berg, R, faced a surprisingly tough battle from former state attorney general Heidi Heitkamp to replace Sen. Kent Conrad, D, who will retire in January.
And Republicans were ahead in one state now held by Democrats — Nebraska. In that race, state Sen. Deb Fischer, R, led former Senator Bob Kerrey, D, in early returns in a race to replace retiring Sen. Ben Nelson, D.
But the presidential battlegrounds also saw tight races, including Wisconsin, where former Republican governor Tommy Thompson, R, was locked in a tight race with Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who would be the nation's first openly gay senator if elected.
In Pennsylvania, Sen. Robert Casey, D, who had long been thought likely to sweep to easy reelection, defeated coal executive Tom Smith, who spent more than $17 million of his own money on the race.
And in Nevada, Sen. Dean Heller sought to win reelection against Rep. Shelley Berkley, even as she tied herself to Obama and leaned heavily on a turnout machine headed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

If you take fish oil every day for your heart, then pay attention. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows it's a dud. It's not worth the money you're paying.
I, for one, am disappointed. I've been swallowing these super large capsules for years assuming I'll have a stronger heart and live longer. Every time I had a fish oil burp, I thought, "Good for me. Good for my heart. I can take it."
Researchers combed through more than 3,500 clinical studies settling on 20 well-designed, gold-standard studies of fish oil. Taken together these projects followed nearly 70,000 patients – half of them taking fish oil every day, half not.
When they analyzed who died from heart disease and stroke, they found no difference between the fish-oil swallowers and the others. Then they broadened this by looking at all causes of death besides heart disease such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, diabetes and cancer, and they found the same thing. Absolutely no benefit to taking fish oil.
Now fish oil has been shown to lower triglyceride levels. In fact, the FDA approved one name-brand formulation to do so. And we know that high triglycerides are associated with heart disease. So we logically have assumed that lowering triglycerides will lower the risk of heart disease. Fair enough, but it doesn't pan out.
Fish oil also was thought to reduce cardiac arrhythmia such as ventricular fibrillation. V-fib is a common cause of sudden death. All those AEDs, automatic defibrillators, that you see in public spaces such as airports are there to treat V-fib.
Many thought fish oil would stabilize the "electricity" that runs your heart, thus reducing the risk of V-fib. The data shows that it doesn't. We thought fish oil would act like aspirin does, keeping your blood "thin." Again, struck out.
That's science for you. Always throwing a wrench in the road.
The reason we started on this was because studies have shown that people who eat fish once or twice a week have fewer heart attacks. And that observation still holds.
But fish is not fish oil. Mother Nature puts other things in fish that may protect our heart. What we need here is for Mother Nature to be our high-paid consultant and tell us what's what. Fat chance.
My spin: This is a very good study that we have to take seriously. If you believe good science, as I do, then you have to question whether swallowing a giant fish oil capsule every day is worth anything. I've tossed my bottle.
On the other side of this, eating fish once or twice a week is beneficial. Can someone please pass me the teriyaki salmon?
Stay well.

Shootings should not be used as political ploy
January 9, 2013
By Erick Hess, DVM Hedgesville: While the recent shootings in Connecticut are a huge tragedy, I am appalled by how many politicians are using it as an excuse to restrict lawful gun ownership....
In regard to the letter by Eric Hess, DVM: Cars, medicine and knives are as deadly as guns? Maybe Eric Hess, DVM could tell me when a car drove into an elementary school and killed 20 children and six teachers or when a car walked into a movie theater and slaughtered people.

Squirm - If the teachers were allowed their constitutional right to bear arms, they would have been able to save those children, or more likely, the shooter never would have gone there in the first place. Every mass shooting has been in a "gun free zone". The ones that have been stopped before dozens were killed were stopped by law abiding citizens with a conceal/carry permit.

|Brady Hoke
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 08/06/2007
Left Ball State after the 2008 MAC Championship Game to become the head coach at San Diego State.....
Inducted into the Ball State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013-14.....
Brady Hoke, a four-year football letterman at Ball State University from 1977-80 and a team captain for the Cardinals as a senior, was named the school's head football coach Dec. 18, 2002.
The 2008 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, Hoke was one of only 18 NCAA Division IA head coaches in the country who coached their alma mater in 2008. The 2008 season was Hoke's sixth at the school and provided a record-setting campaign with a number of firsts in Ball State history:
• Ball State completed the regular season with a 12-0 record, marking only the third undefeated regular season in the school's 84 campaigns.
• Ball State was one of only four of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the nation to complete the regular season undefeated.
• The 12 victories set a Ball State single-season school record.
• Ball State's 12 straight victories in 2008 was the third longest winning streak in school history.
• Ball State's MAC West Division Championship was the Cardinals first-ever outright division title since the league went to divisions in 1997.
• Ball State's football program has had two 10 plus win seasons in 84 campaigns, and Hoke has been a part of both. He was a player on the 1978 team which posted a 10-1 overall record.
• The 8-0 MAC season marked the second undefeated league campaign in Ball State history.
• The Cardinals 10 straight MAC wins -- last two in 2007 and all eight in 2008 -- marked the second best streak in BSU annals.
• Ball State's national rankings were the first in school history. The Cardinals were ranked as high as 12th in the Bowl Championship Series Standings (11/30), 12th in the Associated Press (11/30) and 13th in the USA Today Poll (11/30). Ball State has been ranked in all three polls for nine straight weeks.
• Ball State's eight straight home victories tied the fifth best mark in school history, and the six straight road victories ties for the second best in Ball State annals.
• Ball State appeared on national television a school record seven times in 2008 and appeared on TV 10 times in 2008.
• The Cardinals made back-to-back bowl appearances for the first time in the 84-year history of Ball State football with its GMAC Bowl appearance.
All of the 2008 accomplishments came after a 2007 season which was the most successful to date with a 7-6 overall record, a 5-2 MAC mark and the Cardinals first bowl appearance since the 1996 season. The seven wins were also the most for Ball State since the 1996 team managed an 8-4 record and played in the Las Vegas Bowl. Ball State's 4-1 divisional record tied for the best divisional record among the 13 MAC teams, and its non-conference schedule was highlighted by a 34-31 overtime win over Navy.
In 2006, Ball State's football program achieved a number of milestones, and built momentum for the 2007 campaign. Ball State posted five MAC wins in a season for the first time since the 1996 campaign and among the Cardinals victories was a win at Toledo in front of an ESPN2 national television audience.
In his six seasons at the Ball State helm, Hoke made steady progress in returning his alma mater to the top of the MAC, while increasing the team's total victories from two in 2004 to the record setting 12 in 2008.
The 2007 season finished with a 7-6 overall record, a 5-2 MAC mark and the Cardinals first bowl appearance since the 1996 season. The seven wins were also the most for Ball State since the 1996 team managed an 8-4 record and played in the Las Vegas Bowl. Ball State's 4-1 divisional record tied for the best divisional record among the 13 MAC teams, and its non-conference schedule was highlighted by a 34-31 overtime win over Navy.
In 2006, Ball State's football program achieved a number of milestones, and built momentum for the 2007 campaign. Ball State posted five MAC wins in a season for the first time since the 1996 campaign and ended the season with two straight victories. Among the Cardinals victories were a win at Toledo in front of an ESPN2 national television audience. The win at UT was the first since 1991 for a Ball State porgram. Ball State posted a 3-1 record in MAC road games and posted a winning record in the MAC for the first time since 2001.
In 2005, Ball State tallied a 4-4 record in MAC play after starting the campaign with one of the most difficult non-conference schedules in school history -- at Iowa, at Auburn and at Boston College. Ball State won three of its last four conference games, suffering an overtime loss in the season finale. The Cardinals lay claim to being the only team to defeat both MAC Division Champions in 2005 -- a 31-17 win at West Champion Northern Illinois and a 23-17 win at home vs. East Champion Akron. Ball State also posted a 60-57 victory at Western Michigan in the longest game in school history, a five overtime thriller.
In his initial season at Ball State in 2003, Hoke played the 26th most difficult schedule in the country, played in front of what was then the largest crowd to ever witness a football game at Scheumann Stadium and guided an offense that was the most prolific in school history. Ball State's offense threw for a school record 2,730 yards, which passed the previous school standard of 2,490 set in 1983. In addition, the Cardinals set a new school record with 22 touchdown passes, breaking the previous mark of 20 set in 2002.
Hoke helped tutor wide receiver Dante Ridgeway, who was a Biletnikoff finalist, an Associated Press All-America Second-Team selection and a Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America Second-Team choice, on the way to setting nearly ever single-game, single-season and career receiving record in Ball State annals. Ridgeway, who left Ball State after the 2004 season, joins former BSU players Brad Maynard, Justin Beriault and Reggie Hodges in the National Football League.
Ball State continued its outstanding academic reputation among all student-athletes, including the Cardinals' football program under the guidance of Hoke. In the most recent Academic Progress Report, Ball State's football team posted a 945 score out of 1,000, and ranked first among Division IA public institutions in the state of Indiana and second among the MAC schools.
Prior to being named Ball State's head coach, Hoke spent the previous eight seasons on the staff at Michigan under the guidance of Wolverine's head coach Lloyd Carr. Hoke spent the 2002 season as the associate head coach and defensive line coach. He helped the Wolverines to a 9-3 overall record in 2002 and a win over Florida in the Jan. 1, Outback Bowl. Michigan was ranked ninth in the final 2002 ESPN/USA Today and Associated Press polls.
Hoke began his coaching career at Yorktown High School, located just outside of Muncie, where he was defensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 1982.
As a student-athlete at Ball State, Hoke helped the Cardinals to the 1978 MAC Championship. He ranked third on the team in tackles as a sophomore with 99 and was second on the squad with 95 tackles as a junior. As one of four captains of the 1980 team, Hoke led the Cardinals and ranked sixth in the MAC with 150 tackles. He managed seven tackles for loss, including two sacks, en route to earning All-MAC Second-Team honors as a senior.

Today, terminal-based programs have almost disappeared. GUIs are taking over, whether we like it or not. However, there is still a place for the old command line. Take the internet as an example: everyone's using Firefox, Thunderbird, and Pidgin for their internet activities. Even though these are great, quality, free software apps, they tend to be bloated. That's where the terminal comes in.
Since most of this article is for the internet, having an internet connection might be useful. Also, you'll probably need a computer (preferably running GNU/Linux, as many of these programs don't run on Windows or OS X). Finally, you'll need a terminal emulator (which most GNU/Linux distributions come with). Windows users have
cmd.exe, Mac users have Terminal, GNOME users have
gnome-terminal, KDE users mostly use
konsole, and Xfce users often use
xfce4-terminal. Most operating systems also install
xterm or some other terminal program. If your operating system doesn't have any of these (something I would find hard to believe) there is a list of terminal apps at Wikipedia. And if none of these are installed on your system (something I would find extremely hard to believe), you can always install one using your package manager. As a last resort, try typing
Ctrl + Alt + F1 to exit KDE, GNOME, Xfce, or whatever desktop environment you are using (use
Alt + F7 to go back).
If you are told to run something in
this kind of text, then that means you should copy it into the terminal and hit enter (unless it's a hotkey like
c. In that case, just type
c into the terminal and it will run automatically).
Lynx: web browsing from the terminal
Homepage: http://lynx.browser.org/
Back in 1989, a text browser that could browse HTTP and Gopher protocols was born. That browser is still around today. It's called Lynx. There is absolutely no GUI. All it is is a terminal app with a few different colors. It handles most HTML, supports SSL, and much more. You can even download pictures and movies to view with an external application (like MPlayer). You can use it on servers (which often have no GUI), low resource machines, or just for connecting to the web without all the frills of Firefox. It's available for Windows, GNU/Linux, and Macintosh (via a fink package or an unofficial build).
wget: Text-based downloader
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/
Sometimes when downloading a file you don't need all the bloat of a full download manager like KGet. That's why I like wget, an HTTP(s) and FTP downloader for Windows and GNU/Linux (with an unofficial build for Mac OS X. It supports incomplete downloads, HTTP or FTP mirroring, proxies, and much more. Just type
wget [URL], replacing
[URL] with the URL of the file, e.g.
http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/ubuntu/releases/kubuntu/feisty/kubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso, and the Kubuntu CD image will start downloading. You can also use
wget to mirror sites with the
-m flag.
rtorrent: Torrents without a user interface
Homepage: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/
Sometimes, it's faster to download a file with the BitTorrent technology than wait for the six thousand other users to leave.
But you don't always need the chrome and glass of KTorrent or Deluge. Also, GUIs can hog more system resources. That's why rtorrent was created. It's a torrent client for GNU/Linux (or Macintosh with an unofficial port from Mac OS Forge) that runs in the terminal and claims to seed up to 3 times the speed of the official BitTorrent client. Just open
rtorrent and type in the URL of the torrent.
Mutt: email without a GUI
Homepage: http://www.mutt.org/
I personally love Thunderbird. However, like most Mozilla apps, it can be rather slow. Luckily, we have Mutt for GNU/Linux (and unofficially, Windows and Macintosh as well). It's a small email client that runs in the terminal. All you do is run it (
mutt), type
c to open a mailbox, and type in the location of the mailbox. For connecting to a remote POP box, type something like
pop:[email protected]/ (
pops:[email protected]/ for SSL). For example, if I had the Gmail account [email protected], I would connect to Gmail by typing
pops:[email protected]. You can also connect to IMAP, mbox, Maildir, MH, and NFS.
Finch: IM. No interface required
Homepage: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Finch
If you don't live under a rock, you'll know what Pidgin (formerly GAIM) is: it's a GNU/Linux program that lets you connect to the multiple instant messaging networks. But what most people don't realize is that there is a command line version of it called Finch (the older version is called gaim-text) and it is usually bundled with Pidgin. Just open it up, and start typing! You switch between chats (and the buddy list) using
M - n/M - p to go to the next/previous window.
Snownews: RSS reading, terminal style
Homepage: http://kiza.kcore.de/software/snownews/
Want to catch up on the latest headlines, but don't want to fire up a full GUI just to do it? Then Snownews is for you. It's an RSS reader that supports proxies, update checking, keybindings, categories, plugins, and even a built-in web browser. All from the command line. To run it, type
snownews (typing
h brings up the help window with some helpful commands to get started). You can even import and export OPML files with the bundled app
opml2snow (run
opml2snow -h for a short help).
By now, you can see that the terminal is a powerful tool—and I've hardly scratched the surface of it. There are tons of alternatives to the programs I mentioned, including cURL (a robust download manager), Links (a browser), ELinks (another browser based on Links), W3M (yet another browser), MPlayer (terminal media player), Irssi (IRC client), and naim (an AIM/ICQ/IRC/CMC instant messenger).
Further reading
w3m is another text based
w3m is another text based browser. http://w3m.sourceforge.net/
I also use w3m. As far as I am concerned it completely obsoletes Lynx. The thing is, Lynx has always had the limitation that it does a lousy job of formatting tables, but w3m handles them easily. Most web pages, even ones that are not specially designed for text browsing, are entirely usable with w3m.
w3m can also do a lot of other tricks, like correctly handling cookies, that few text browsers can do. It's also a nice paging program for on-disk browsing.
I consider it an essential shell program on any system I use.
Now, it's not stream-based, you do need to have curses (I don't know whether that's true of Lynx or not).
Web Based Browser
Try elinks - much better than lynx ;P
nice article
I use a lot of CLI apps in conjunction with ssh and screen.
I also recommend ncftp for ftp transfers and irssi for irc. And for IM I use bitlbee inside irssi :)
Do elinks or w3m support https? As that is an issue for me with links.
Graphical browsing on CLI
Nice article!
Another good browser
Links2 can work, with text only or *including images*, in an Xterm or even on the framebuffer! Well worth checking out.
[email protected]:~$ thank you
The more I learn about it, the more I like the command line. Thanks for the excellent tips! You could add mp3blaster for playing music.
Here's how you can install
Here's how you can install lynx on OsX:
wget http://lynx.isc.org/lynx-2.8.3/lynx2.8.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf lynx2.8.3.tar.gz
cd lynx2-8-3
cp /usr/libexec/config.guess .
make install

Anti-openness gifts: An open advocate's confessions | Opensource.com
Anti-openness gifts: An open advocate's confessions
For my birthday several months ago, I got a Kindle. No fewer than three people have since asked me, "What are you doing with a Kindle? It's not very open source-y."
Confession: I love my Kindle. I only have one book to carry when I travel. I can play games. And it let me tweet from Paris over free 3G from Open World Forum, where cell data was expensive and, like many conferences, the wifi was shaky. Surely that counts for something?
But the accusers are right. It's not very "open source-y." The DRM is painful and prevents sharing.
Last week, Amazon announced that they had enabled Kindle lending. I nearly leapt from my seat with joy. As it turns out, you can loan a book only once, for 14 days, and that's it. If your friend gets distracted and doesn't get a chance to read it, that's too bad. She can't renew the loan, and you can't let a different friend read it either. It's also enabled for only a fraction of my library, which seems to be a common experience. That's not really lending, much less sharing.
In another part of my house, there's a five-year-old girl with long, blonde hair and a penchant for her movie twin Rapunzel in Disney's latest animation, Tangled. This follows her nearly equal adoration for Ariel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. Sadly for her, she was born to a mother who hates Disney for what the mouse has done to copyright law. Talk about the opposite of open and sharing.
Confession: For Christmas, I bought her a doll. Not a little cuddle-at-naptime doll. A three-foot tall Rapunzel. This is the first Disney product I have purchased for her in her five years on this planet. But if you'd seen her face when she saw those giant (and I do mean giant) painted eyes looking at her on Christmas morning, you'd know why I did it.
And those are my gift confessions to the open source world. I make compromises. And I'm not the only one. I work for an open source company but sit within hearing distance of several iPhones. I have an inherited embroidery machine whose software runs only on Windows--but that's the only Microsoft product in our house. And I know more than a few open source advocates who leave their mailing lists to sit in front of Xboxes.
What do you make compromises for? Or are you solidly open-only? Have you ever returned a gift for not being open enough? The confession booth is open. (Pun intended.)

Gifts from relatives can be equally tiresome too. My brother got me an iPod one year (a shuffle) which thankfully was supported with Banshee at the time.
My parents got my son a digital camera that, yup! you guessed it, doesn't work with Linux and only includes Windows drivers. I even got in touch with somebody who was developing drivers for these cameras and he told me that it was very different than the ones he's ported to Linux.
My ever-loving parents also gave him a 3D chess game that works on Windows only. It worked kind-of in Wine/CrossOver.
I think they are getting the hint, though, finally. We didn't get any questionably-compatible gifts this year.
As for Disney, I figure this is an adult's issue with freedom, for kids they just know what they like, not the more complicated philosophy behind it. There's time, though, to teach them as they get older though ;)
I don't own an Xbox, but... you said Xbox, and by extension, its very existence ensures that commercial gaming by and large remains on Windows.
I've tried to like what the independent gaming studios are doing; they are and probably will continue to be the future of gaming for OSes that are not Windows, very especially Linux.
I had been moving towards open source for a number of years in all of my computing save gaming. I wound up going straight to Ubuntu when attempts to dual-boot or use Wubi utterly failed. I have tried very hard not to look back, but I must be honest: Gaming on Linux sucks. When I'm done waxing nostalgic on emulation of some old system, or played out the few games that had their source code release (or received Linux clients), the rest is abysmal to me.
As for Disney... it's hard to compete with the mouse these days. I have a relative that worked there many, many years ago, and then struck out on his own. Don Bluth is his name. Yes, I checked out my father's claims; he really is one of his cousins. You see how much he's relatively struggled by comparison (although he is greatly admired). When my grandmother was still alive (Grandpa and Don's mom were brother and sister), we had many, many conversations about how much Disney had changed.
My daughter went through that Disney Princess phase so many girls seem to do. But now she follows her mother's interests with great aplomb, including anime. Drew's right. With time, they'll learn... or at least move on to other interests.
nice post. I do return gifts, but not because they are not open enough. Only when I can't make good use of them.
I don't believe in a solidly open-only approach, there is always something closed. Also, I usually don't view open-closed as a dichotomy, but more as a continuum. Not sure how that translates to Disney's dolls...
Like most parents, I had no idea of the harm that Disney was inflicting on the cultural world when I took my toddler into the new Toronto Eaton Center Disney Store oh so many years ago. He fell in love with a Mickey Mouse doll, although he had never seen a MM cartoon. (The first time he did was priceless; from his point of view his treasured toy had com to life --- what a kick!) He was Mickey Mouse for Hallowe'en... twice. Yet today he's playing Humble Indie Bundle games on his Linux box.
We are all learning, and it is a process we can only take at our own pace. Ideas that challenge existing beliefs can take a long time to achieve traction. The morass we call copyright today will not last; people are talking about it, no longer accepting it unquestioningly. Change will come. The copyright maximalists are their own worst enemies and are engineering their own downfall.
The biggest irony of Disney is that their copyright empire rests almost entirely on a foundation of public domain stories they have themselves remixed and stamped ©
Parenting is a process; we all do our best.. As your daughter grows up she will learn from you. Live your ideals as much as possible but listen to your heart. It will work out.
I got a Roku box for Christmas, and have been using it to stream movies from Netflix. Supposedly Roku itself is derived from Linux, but the Netflix app is proprietary. :(
Yeay for being able to watch those episodes of Battlestar Gallactica that I missed, though.
I also use gmail, rememberthemilk, and other closed-source web apps. :(
I'm not sure why someone would be ashamed of rewarding those who pioneer technology. Without them there would be no open source community, because there would be no mp3 players, computer chips or operating systems, because there would be no incentive to create them. When you buy something you are agreeing with it's maker that what you are paying for is worth what they are asking. That the fruits of their labor are worth something to you. If it didn't have value to you then you wouldn't buy it. There's no shame in admitting that a kindle has value to you, or that the enjoyment you received from reading a book was worth something to you, and the author deserves something for that.

Initially it was Lauren Rousseau's smile that caught Tony Lusardi III's attention on a dating website. He sent her a jokey message, she sent a "ha-ha-ha" back, and a month later they had their first date at a wine bar.
"We hit it off right off the bat," says Lusardi, 30, a sales rep for a tech company. "I am a giant, awkward nerd when I first meet people, but at one point I said, 'Can I kiss you?' " Rousseau, 30, a substitute elementary school teacher, turned red and said, "Yes." When their lips locked, says Lusardi, "I knew she was perfect for me. I thought, 'She's the one.' "
About five weeks later, they made it Facebook official: They were "in a relationship." Young, smitten and feeling they had all the time in the world, 13 months later they were just beginning to hatch plans to move out of their respective parents' homes. "We were thinking we would move in together, get a dachshund – we wanted to name it Pork Chop – and see what happened."
What happened was as unimaginable to either of them as it was to most Americans – until, that is, Dec. 14, 2012, when a lone gunman shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School.
His first stop was the first-grade classroom where Rousseau was subbing in hopes of getting closer to her lifelong goal of having a class of her own. Usually assigned to work with another teacher, "Lauren was so excited because she had her own classroom that day," says her mother, Teresa Rousseau, 63. "I was told she was the first one killed in that classroom."
Since that day, says Teresa, "I wake up every day immediately knowing I'm in a very sad, Lauren-less place."
For Lusardi, "everything completely stopped for a solid two-and-a-half weeks." Each night, he would cry himself to sleep, then awake the next morning anticipating his daily message from his early-rising girlfriend – only to realize, he says, "I was not going to get any more texts from her, ever."
The day of the massacre, the two messaged back and forth about their plan to see The Hobbit that night. At 8:59 Lauren sent her last text to him: "Lol."
What happens after the gun goes off? Read more from Lusardi and four other families of those lost to gun violence – in playgrounds, churches and schools. The survivors talk about how their lives will never be the same.

Here's the link for the full gala, no commentary
Introductions start at around 15:00

Thank you very much. The eurosport coverage was not that great and they didn't show the full gala.
Thanks for the link to watch the gala. Loved Akiko, Patrick, and Dai. Where was Yuzuru though?
Hanyu withdrew before the gala because of illness.
Do we know the details to his illness? Pretty sudden, I had no idea he was sick Cuz he looked so healthy
Was stated in his Fan Fest thread that Japanese officials think its a stomach bug of some sort, but they aren't sure. When he was heading home to Japan, he looked pretty ill and said he couldn't even walk the day before . He seemed pretty healthy to me too, but then again, I noticed he wasn't as animated after his performance and in the K&C as he usually is... or maybe I'm just reading too deeply into it...
Another article came out this morning, and it said that Yuzuru felt sick before FS.
I thought the same thing as pitterpatter about his reaction in the K&C, but I thought it was just because he couldn't rotate 4s.
He didn't attend press conference with other medalists in Japan.
Possibly he returned to Sendai immediately.
I so hope he gets well very soon, in time to be ready for the Japanese Nationals which are coming up all too soon.
No clear information on his condition. Reported that he had been ill the entire GPF, possibly got sick in Japan (bug or virus?) and then things got escalated because of the pressure of the sport competition. People who attended gala practice twittered that he tried to skate but had to leave the arena because of his body condition and later he withdrew from gala. He will be staying in Sendai to take a rest till Japan Nationals. After that he will likely stay in Japan too, for a New Year. Recently, before GPF, he was added to the list of Stars on Ice participants in Osaka that will take place on Jan. 5th and 6th. But he is not on the list of Tokyo venue that will take place the following weekend Jan 12-14 (). So I assume he will go back to Toronto not earlier than after Osaka venue. www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/soi2013/
