College Football Recap - Nov. 7
Monday, November 7, 2011
COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECAP - 11/07/11 Here's a brief look at the highlights of week 10 of the college football season, a week which saw the "Game of the Century" nearly live up to its billing by being decided in overtime, as well as two other thrilling Saturday night games between highly-ranked opponents. The rankings used in this recap are the BCS Standings from prior to the games.
GAME OF THE CENTURY? #1 LSU 9, #2 Alabama 6: Some may call this game boring due to the lack of scoring, but the bottom-line is that every play brings edge-of-your-seat excitement as fans know it would only take one mistake to decide the game - which is won by the Tigers after multiple missed field goals by the Tide, as well as by a pair of sensational interceptions by the talented LSU defense. DON'T FORGET US #7 Arkansas 44, #9 South Carolina 28: The Razorbacks outgain the Gamecocks, 435-207, but South Carolina takes advantage of a pair of missed field goals and key dropped passes to stay in the game, cutting the deficit to two early in the fourth quarter before Arkansas closes it out late. #3 Oklahoma State 52, #14 Kansas State 45: Brandon Weeden throws for a school-record 502 yards and four TDs, and Joseph Randle runs for the final, tie-breaking TD with 2:16 remaining as the Cowboys hold off a tough challenge by Collin Klein (231 passing yards, 144 rushing yards, 4 total TDs) and the Wildcats, who had three shots at the end zone before time expired. SETTING UP THE NEXT BIG GAME #4 Stanford 38, Oregon State 13: The Cardinal starts slow, but scores the last 21 points to remain in control of the Pac-12 North as they extend the nation's longest winning streak to 17 games and log the program's first 9-0 start since 1952 - setting up this Saturday's meeting with Oregon in Palo Alto. #8 Oregon 34, Washington 17: After starting slow, the Ducks pull away in the second half, taking advantage of three Husky turnovers and sacking quarterback Keith Price six times while LaMichael James (156 yards, TD) shows he is fully recovered from an elbow injury - just in time for Saturday's showdown with fourth-ranked Stanford.
STAT-STUFFING QBs #5 Boise State 48, UNLV 21: The powerhouse Broncos struggled in the first half, but as usual, star quarterback Kellen Moore took care of business, throwing five touchdown passes in just over three quarters of action as he became the winningest FBS quarterback in NCAA history with 46 victories, one more than former Manning Award winner Colt McCoy from Texas - Moore is an amazing 46-2 all-time as a starting quarterback. #6 Oklahoma 41, Texas A&M 25: Entering the week second in the nation in passing yards and passing touchdowns, Landry Jones adds 255 yards and two more scores as the Sooners use a 28-point third quarter to blow open a tight game. #13 Houston 56, UAB 13: The Cougars roll to victory, piling up 655 yards of offense while holding the Blazers to 269 yards, behind the efforts of quarterback Case Keenum, who throws for two touchdowns, runs for two more touchdowns and becomes the NCAA's all-time leader in passing yardage (17,212 yards). IF YOU'RE NOT FIRST, YOU'RE LAST #17 Michigan State 31, Minnesota 24: After losses by Michigan and Nebraska, the Spartans come from behind to top the improving Gophers and move into first place in the Big Ten Legend's Division by holding Minnesota scoreless for the final 24:45. #25 Southern Miss 48, East Carolina 28: In a key Conference USA showdown, the Golden Eagles tally two long interception return touchdowns as well as a punt return score and a touchdown on a blocked punt to remain in control of the East Division race - and to keep alive a potential C-USA title game against undefeated Houston, which could be the biggest game in league history. Cincinnati 26, Pittsburgh 23: The Bearcats, not in the Top-25 of the BCS Standings, take advantage of key turnovers and score the final 13 points to come from behind to upend the Panthers and remain perfect in Big East play.

Technology Council Recommends Improvements for GSA
December 3, 2007
Contact: Brian Fillpot (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that the GSA Working Group of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) has provided the agency with valuable suggestions.
"The Northern Virginia technology industry has significant expertise in federal government procurement issues and I am pleased that the NVTC Task Force has provided constructive recommendations, some of which GSA will begin implementing immediately to achieve the agency's goals for a 21st century procurement process," GSA Administrator Lurita Doan said.
The NVTC is an association for the technology community in Northern Virginia, with approximately 1,100 member companies representing more than 200,000 employees.
The NVTC GSA Working Group provided suggestions on ways GSA can improve in the following areas: expediting the procurement process; bringing new, cutting edge technology to the government; improving the GSA vendor experience; and shaping a 21st century government procurement strategy.
"On behalf of NVTC, I would like to thank GSA Administrator Doan and her senior staff for their responsiveness and openness in considering our Task Force's recommendations," said NVTC President & CEO Bobbie Kilberg. "I also would like to commend the work of the members of the NVTC Task Force on GSA who provided well-received, well thought out and workable recommendations to help GSA achieve its goals of expediting the procurement process, and bringing technology innovation to the public sector in order to create a 21st century procurement experience for both the federal government and its contractors."
The NVTC presented its findings to Administrator Doan and senior agency leadership on November 28, 2007. With the primary goal of bringing customers back to GSA, the NVTC group focused on issues that GSA has the authority and the ability to impact in the near term, including acquisition, marketing, technology, and the schedules program.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has begun shipping samples of its 32GB DRAM module designed for use in advanced servers, with mass production slated to begin in April 2010.
Samsung is using the industries' highest-density monolithic DDR3 device - a 40nm-class, 4Gb DDR3 chip - as the building block for the new 32GB module. This comes just one year after the company announced its 50nm-class 2Gb based, 16GB registered dual inline memory module (RDIMM) last March.
The 32GB RDIMM consists of 36 dual-die 40nm-class 4Gb DDR3 chips that can perform at equal or greater levels to a 40nm-based 16GB RDIMM with no increase in power consumption.
By equipping a dual CPU, two-way server with 32GB modules, a server system can have up to 384GB of memory. This allows for doubling the previously largest density of 192GBs per server with a power increase of less than five percent over that needed for a 16GB module-based system, teh vendor said.
In addition, replacing 12 DRAM modules of 16GB density with just six 32GB modules would achieve a 192GB total density, while allowing the DRAM operating speed in a two-way server system to rise by 33% from 800 megabit per second (Mbps) to 1,066Mbps, as power is cut by 40%, it said.

A Form of Gun Confiscation Has Reportedly Begun in New York State
(Mike Opelka) Despite promises from the president and a host of other politicians who are pushing for more gun control that nobody is coming for your guns, the confiscation of guns and gun permits has apparently started in some form in New York State. One attorney representing several people who have been forced to surrender their guns spoke with TheBlaze and alerted us to some disturbing facts:
- Gun owners are losing their 2nd Amendment rights without due process.
- HIPAA Laws are likely being compromised and the 4th and 5th Amendments are being violated in some of these cases
How did confiscation start happening so quickly? Apparently the gun grabbing was triggered by something inside the NY SAFE Act — New York's new gun law — that has a provision apparently mandating confiscation of weapons and permits if someone has been prescribed psychotropic drugs.
This is curious because in his January 9th address, Cuomo specifically addressed the issue of confiscation:
The Case:
On April 1st, a legal gun owner in upstate New York reportedly received an official notice from the state ordering him to surrender any and all weapons to his local police department. The note said that the person's permit to own a gun in New York was being suspended as well. The gun owner contacted attorney Jim Tresmond (a specialist in gun laws in New York) and the two visited the local police precinct.
Mr. Tresmond reportedly went into the precinct and informed the officers that his client, waiting in the parking lot, was coming in to voluntarily surrender his weapons as requested. The local police were aware of the letter because they had already been contacted by the State Police. Apparently, if people do not respond to the initial mailing, local law enforcement is authorized to visit the gun owner at their home and demand the surrender of the firearms. In this case, the gun owner followed the request as written. The guns and permits were handed over and a receipt given to the client.
After the guns were turned over, a request for a local hearing was filed and the gun owner is expecting to have his Second Amendment rights restored. But there is more to this story.
In our conversation with lawyer Jim Tresmond, we learned that this client, who has never had a problem with the law — no criminal record and or violent incidents on record — did have a temporary, short term health issue that required medication. But how were his client's private medical information accessed by the government? This appears to be a violation of HIPAA and Health Information Privacy policies at HHS.gov. If it is declared a violation, this becomes a civil rights issue.
Some claim that a broad interpretation of this statement from HIPAA might allow the government to have instant access to the medical records and gun ownership records of anyone who is prescribed psychotropic drugs.
A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals' health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public's health and well being.

GSA Alerts Public to Recent E-mail Scheme
July 28, 2006
Contact: Andrew Gibbons (202) 501-1231
E-mails purporting to come from FirstGov.gov are phony
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Office of Citizens Services & Communications is warning the public to avoid falling victim to a recent e-mail scheme that targets users by sending unsolicited e-mails allegedly from FirstGov, the citizen portal operated by GSA. These scam e-mails tell recipients that because of recent fraudulent activities on Money Access Online they need to confirm their account has not been stolen or hacked. The e-mails then direct recipients to click on a link and enter information related to personal credit card accounts.
The e-mail appears to be sent from this following fraudulent e-mail address:
MONEY ACCESS SERVICE (email@example.com).
There may be other similarly styled addresses. The text of the e-mail includes "Dear Money Access Customer" and asks for certain private personal and private financial data, but recipients shouldn't provide this information.
These e-mails don't originate at FirstGov or GSA. FirstGov doesn't send unsolicited e-mails to the public in this manner, nor do we solicit personal information of any kind.
Responding to unsolicited e-mails from an unknown sender is risky and dangerous because these e-mails often contain viruses that can infect computers or entice recipients to provide more personal and confidential information. GSA takes this matter seriously and is investigating. Users should delete unsolicited e-mails of this type without opening.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

$28 million disability research center established
By Matt Splett, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-216-3302
A University of South Carolina School of Medicine researcher is the recipient of a Centers for Disease Control grant that may have a long-lasting impact on the one in 10 Americans living with a severe disability.
Suzanne McDermott, professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, will lead the five-year grant that establishes the Disability Research and Dissemination Center (DRDC) at USC. The center will coordinate research and fellowships for the CDC's National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD).
McDermott is collaborating with Margaret Turk, professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pediatrics at State University of New York Upstate Medical University, and Roberta Carlin, executive director of the American Association on Health and Disability, in leading the DRDC. The center has the potential to bring in more than $28 million in funding to support disability research in the next five years.
"We will be the funnel by which extramural research will be funded," McDermott said. "We'll solicit for research, conduct the reviews of proposals and then make recommendations to the CDC for funding. Our work will have a significant impact on the future of research related to both the prevention of disabilities such as birth defects, blood disorders and neurodevelopmental conditions and the lifetime health experience of people who have these disabilities."
By establishing the DRDC, McDermott and her colleagues aim to expand the NCBDDD's capacity to conduct research and training as well as share knowledge about evidence-based practices that promote the health and well-being of people with disabilities.
Potential areas of research include the causes of birth defects and developmental disabilities; blood disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell disease; and health risks to children early in life.
"This CDC grant for the creation of the DRDC is a testament to Suzanne's outstanding research in this area, as well as the strong partnerships she has built with researchers at other institutions," said Prakash Nagarkatti, vice president for research at the University of South Carolina. "The DRDC represents an exciting new chapter in disability research, which will greatly benefit USC's School of Medicine and its partner universities, the medical community and most importantly, those with disabilities."
"Dr. McDermott is an accomplished researcher who has continually demonstrated throughout her career a commitment to improving the quality of life for people with intellectual, physical and sensory disabilities," said Richard Hoppmann, dean of the USC School of Medicine. "With this CDC grant, she and her colleagues have a great opportunity to shape the direction of disability research in the years to come."
A 15-member advisory group of leading physicians and researchers from institutions throughout the United States will review funding proposals sent to the USC center. In addition, DRDC is partnering with national organizations such as the Association of Medical Colleges, the Associations of Schools of Public Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Association to promote requests for proposal.
"Our external advisory committee consists of the top people in the field, and we have partnerships with the pivotal organizations that represent scholars in our field, and that is how you accomplish things," McDermott said. "This center has an opportunity to really influence the future direction of disability research."
McDermott's interest in DRDC originates from 23 years of research related to birth defects and the lives of people with disabilities. She has studied the causes of birth defects during pregnancy and identified factors that lead to the prevention of these conditions. A study she led on infections during pregnancy has become an important element of evidence-based prenatal care. Her research on soil metal concentrations led to the discovery that contaminated soil proximate to an expectant mother's home is a predictor of poor outcomes for the baby.
The CDC has funded several of McDermott's research projects related to life experiences for people with disabilities. Her current research includes examining the transition of pediatric patients to adulthood who have health issues associated with spina bifida, fragile X syndrome and muscular dystrophy.
In addition to the research potential, McDermott recognizes the establishment of the DRDC at the USC School of Medicine and partner universities could lead to improved professional education for physicians and other health professionals treating disability patients. Enhanced training, including fellowships with the CDC, could lead to improvements in public health practice.
"Disability is an important part of medicine," McDermott said. "It affects every doctor in every practice no matter whether it is an ophthalmologist or an anesthesiologist. It's important that health professionals know what conditions are associated with disabilities and how to prevent them. If we can prevent some disabilities, we'll have a healthier population and that's true for our state and every state."

Ithaca, N.Y. -- The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team captures its first Ivy League win against Cornell tonight, 3-2 (25-22, 21-25, 20-25, 25-17, 15-13). Tonight's match was the Quaker's fifth five-set thriller victory in the 2013 season. The Red and Blue are now 7-7 overall, 1-2 Ivy League.
The first set, where the lead changed five times, was the exact definition of a back-and-forth battle. Penn and Cornell tied the score nine times and the largest point difference was three.
It wasn't until a kill by junior Trina Ohms, halfway through the first set, when the first three-point difference was reached in Penn's favor, 16-13. The Quakers advanced the score by the three-point difference three more times: 17-14, 20-17, and the set win, 25-22.
Unlike the first set, sets two and three had a lead change twice, while sets four and five had a lead change only once.
After scoring first in the second set, the Big Red had the advantage until the Red and Blue gained the lead, 6-4. However, Penn could only hold onto the two-point lead at 7-5 and would not lead again. Cornell solidified its lead at 12-8, after a four-point run and three-point run. The home team then only allowed the Quakers to come as close as two points, 19-17, until the it's win, 25-21.
Even at one a piece, the home team carried the momentum from the second set win into the third. Cornell led for all but one time, which was early when Penn led 3-2. Set three was marked in the books as another win for the Big Red, 25-20.
Cornell started strong in the fourth set and led, 6-2, but the Red and Blue found a rhythm after a kill by sophomore Alex Caldwell. The kill was the first of six-points the Quakers went on to gain, giving them the advantage at 8-6. Penn then added five-points in a row to extend its lead, 16-10. The Big Red attempted to play catch up but couldn't withstand the Red and Blue's energy, which tallied a set total of 19 kills and a .341 attack percentage.
The Quakers' set-four victory, 25-17, meant one thing – a fifth set.
Cornell took the first point, due to an attack error by Penn. A kill by sophomore Alexis Genske was followed by a Penn service error. The Big Red went up 2-1, which was the last time they would lead. The Red and Blue reached eight first, after a kill from Caldwell (8-4). Cornell tried to keep up with the Quakers but was given its last point due to an attack error by Penn, tying the score at 13. Caldwell finished off the night with two kills in a row to end the set (15-13) and match with a victory.
Penn has now won five out of the eight five-set matches played this season.
Offensively, Caldwell (15 pts) had 34 assists, 13 kills, and a .321 attack percentage; and defensively had 10 digs and two block assists.
Freshman Arielle Winfield (14.5 pts) co-led with Caldwell in kills (13), finished the night with a .346 attack percentage, and was credited with one solo block and one block assist.
Senior captain Kristen Etterbeek led with 19 digs, followed by Genske (17), and senior captain Dani Shepherd (16).

I know men. I date them. I am one. I stare at them when they're at work on high-rise construction sites. So, who better to tell you what goes on inside the male mind on a first date? And I'm gonna tell it to you straight. Well, as straight as I can.
First dates are tricky for all of us. (Full disclosure: I recently went on an outing with a guy with zero conversation skills, only to later find out he was deaf and that I mumble too much to allow for proper lip reading.) Still, there are a few things all types of men agree on, straight, gay and mumblers alike:
1. Don't be phone-y.
Prior to the actual date, keep communications with your new potential soul mate to a minimum. This may seem counter-intuitive, since we're all eager to size up the interests of our new crush (I took the deaf guy to a jazz concert – ooops!) and are dying to figure out if this is the man who will make us breakfast in bed for the rest of our lives. But too many phone calls or emails too early on can read as desperate or clingy, and may leave you with nothing to talk about when you two do finally meet. Instead, settle the logistics of the date in a fun-yet-efficient manner and go about your very busy life, safe in the knowledge that you're saving all the best parts of yourself (and your life) till you're actually face-to-face.
Read You Know You're on a Bad First Date When…
2. Tight isn't always right.
Time for a little tough love from a guy who still tries to squeeze into the jeans he bought before his latest four-month romance with Haagen Dazs. Ladies, it's OK to be who you are on a date and wear clothes that fit. Be comfortable! As dumb as guys sometimes act, they can sense when you're trying too hard or aren't comfortable with yourself. That's just not sexy – and a way bigger turn-off than even the blandest of pantsuits. Here's a rule to live by: If 20 minutes after putting a garment in the hamper you can still see the imprint it left behind, it's not appropriate first-date attire!

Ok, so maybe I haven't been such a good girl! That's ok, cause it's time for another naughty writing contest! Because I'm full of the holiday spirit the rules are very loosely interpreted this time! Your entry simply has to be naughty, and holiday related. You can write a short story, or a poem and the level of naughtiness is up to you. You can use any of the holidays celebrated this season, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's, whatever you want!
The ever changing rules! Life is an experiment and I'll keep trying until we get the right recipe here!
All entries will be anonymous! E-mail your entries to scandalinthechoirloft[at]gmail[dot]com. I will post them on my site anonymously so all voting will be totally blind and unbiased. I will post them as I get them so that people can enjoy them as they come in. There are incentives for getting your stories in early! So keep reading!
The 'rules' rules are the same as before:
1) NO rape fantasies.
2) NO humiliation. D/S is totally cool as long as both parties are willing participants. There will be no beating victims into submission.
3) NO "Golden Showers" or anything like that. I haven't seen it yet, but everyone else has it as a rule so I figure better safe than sorry.
All stories need to be in no later than 11:59 PM EST on December 23rd. I will put up the voting poll and a button for everyone sometime shortly after that. The voting period will run through the New Year and the winners will be announced on January 2nd.
You don't have to write a story to enter, but obviously it will get you many more entries. I want people to enter and enter early. I also want everyone to tell their friends about the contest, so here's how this is going to work.

A land of great contrasts, Venezuela boasts wide beaches and sharp mountains; a booming oil industry and a struggling working class; ages-old cultures and a yearning for modernization. In the balance hangs a nation bursting with potential and endless opportunities to explore.

Venezuela's largest metropolis as well as its capital city, Caracas appeals to visitors with its balance of contemporary attractions and historical gems. The Iglesia de San Francisco, Plaza de los Museos, and Museo Bolívar—birthplace of "The Liberator," Simón Bolívar—allow visitors to be immersed in local culture.
Margarita Island Macaw

Just 20 miles (32 kilometers) off the coast of Venezuela's north shore, Margarita Island lures Caribbean travelers with its private beaches, pristine island views, and colorful wildlife, such as this macaw. Capitalizing on the island's economic potential, the government and investors are racing to put up new hotels and attractions.
Angel Falls

The flight of Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, ends more than 3,000 feet (910 meters) down the face of Auyan-tepui. More than a hundred tepuis—a Pemón Indian word for mountains—rise mainly in southeastern Venezuela; fewer than half have been explored.
Tepui Plant

A delicate arrangement of some of the world's toughest plants takes hold on an oasis of mosses and lichens atop the nearly soilless plateaus of Venezuela's tepuis. Most plants able to survive on the tepuis are endemic to the area and exist only on the mountaintops.
Orinoco River

Unhalted by a dam anywhere on its 1,300-mile (2,092-kilometer) course, the Orinoco floods annually and prodigiously. When the rainy Venezuelan "winter" arrives, lasting from May through November, the river rises more than 40 feet (12 meters), drowning grazing lands miles from its low-water line.
Yanomami Woman
Photograph by Juan Silva/Getty Images
Known for their stoic ferocity, the Yanomami people of Venezuela believe that humans descended from drops of blood spilled on the dirt in a struggle between mythical beings after Earth's formation. Because of this legend, violent confrontations between individuals and neighboring villages are part of Yanomami life and heritage.
Orinoco Boats

Local bush pilots guide visitors across the Orinoco River to get a close-up view of Venezuela's legendary tepuis rising sharply into the sky. Cloud buildup over tepuis—some lofty enough to create their own weather—releases as much as 150 inches (380 centimeters) of rain a year, feeding the river down below.
Kako Paru Waterfalls

Inflamed by the presence of jasper, tumbling cascades 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Roraima expose rock sandwiched within the sandstone from which the tepuis are formed. Some of the world's oldest sandstone, these deposits were laid down at least 1.8 billion years ago atop the Guayana shield, the oldest rock in South America.

XML Schema Editor
XML Schema Editor Features:
- Support for XML Schema 1.1 and 1.0
- Graphical XML Schema design and editing
- Smart Fix XML Schema validation
- Context-sensitive entry helpers
- Drag-and-drop editing
- XML Schema documentation generation
- Support for aggregated schemas
- Advanced identity constraint editing
- Smart restrictions support
- Generation of XML Schemas from XML instances
- Generation of XML Schemas from databases
- Java, C#, and C++ code generation based on XML Schema
- DTD editor & DTD to XML Schema conversion
Graphical XML Schema Editing
XMLSpy includes the original graphical XML Schema editor for designing, editing, validating, and generating XML Schema 1.0 and XML Schema 1.0 documents. Since the XML Schema editor allows you to create schemas in a graphical manner, you can focus on the semantics of your schema while leaving the syntactical details of the XML Schema language to XMLSpy.
The XML Schema editor displays all globally defined components (i.e., elements, complexTypes, attributeGroups, etc.) in the XML Schema as a list in the design view. Here you can add or delete components, as well as modify their properties in entry helper windows. Clicking the tree icon next to any global component opens the detailed graphical view of its content model in the XML Schema editor, where you can drag and drop to re-arrange elements or use the right-click menu to select context-sensitive options. With this system, you're able to edit components at a global level and then edit the content model of individual components.
The XML Schema editor makes it just as easy to auto-generate an XML Schema from an XML instance or even a relational database structure using highly configurable options. You can do the opposite as well, and generate an XML instance or database structure from an existing XML Schema.
More XML Schema Tools:
- Schema flattener and schema subset creation
- Extended validation of naming & coding conventions
- Schema refactoring: finding and renaming all instances of a global across all imported/included schemas
- End-to-end XML schema development and mapping in Altova MissionKit

The Lysians were a race that, as of 2368, had been at war with the Satarrans for decades. They were only as technologically advanced as the Federation in 2268 by 2368, but did have starships and starbases.
In 2368, the Satarrans attempted to use the USS Enterprise-D to launch a devastating attack against the Lysian Central Command. They used their memory wipe weapon on the crew, placed an operative known as Kieran MacDuff in the first officer position, and planted false orders from Starfleet Command which stated that the Enterprise was to destroy the Lysian headquarters. Although the crew was unable to restore their full memories by the time they were to attack the Lysian headquarters, Captain Jean-Luc Picard realized that the Lysians posed no threat to the Galaxy-class starship or to the Federation at large, and that the orders must have been falsified. MacDuff's true nature was then revealed, and the Enterprise stood down. (TNG: "Conundrum")

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosisAlveolar proteinosis; Pulmonary alveolar phospholipoproteinosis
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease in which a type of protein builds up in the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs, making breathing difficult.
In some cases, the cause of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is unknown. In others, it occurs with lung infection or an immune problem. It also can occur with cancers of the blood system, and after exposure to high levels of environmental substances, such as silica or aluminum dust.
This rare disorder generally affects people ages 30to 50 and is seen in men more often than in women. A form of the disorder is present at birth (congenital).
There may be no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
The doctor may hear crackles ("rales") in the lungs. Often, the physical examination is normal.
The following tests may be done:
- Bronchoscopy with saline wash of the lungs (lavage)
- Chest x-ray
- High-resolution CT scan of the chest
- Pulmonary function tests
- Open lung biopsy (surgical biopsy)
Treatment involves washing out the protein substance from the lung (whole-lung lavage) from time to time. Certain patients with this disease may need to have a lung transplant. Avoidance of dusts that might have caused the condition is also recommended.
Research has shown some benefit to an experimental treatment that uses a blood-stimulating medication called granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is known to be lacking in some patients with alveolar proteinosis.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Some people with this condition go into remission. Others have respiratory failure that gets worse, and they may need a lung transplant. Up to 25% of people with this condition die within 5 years of being diagnosed.
Call your health care provider if you develop serious breathing symptoms. Shortness of breath that gets worse over time may signal that your condition is developing into a more serious medical emergency.

It's only natural that Hend Sabry put on weight after the birth of her second daughter [2], but this is apparently posing a problem for the actress, who's in the process of filming a sequel for her upcoming film "Al Jazeera" (The Island).
In the film, Hend plays the role of "Karima," and "The Island" director Sharif Arafa has urged her to quickly shift the extra pounds in order to accurately resemble her character in the same way she did in the first film, reported Sayidaty.net.
The out-of-shape actress is currently following a strict food and exercise regime in the hopes of looking slim and sexy as quickly as possible.
It was during Hend's last public appearance that everyone noticed her apparent weight gain. The supportive actress was attending writer Medhat Al Adel's book signing in Cairo at the time.

Ship Weight:0.15 Servings:21 Dosage:1 Teaspoon(s) Maine Coast Sea Vegetables - Sea Seasonings Organic Kelp with Cayenne - 1.5 oz. (43g)Low sodium Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Sea Seasonings Organic Kelp with Cayenne adds a little saltiness, a little heat and lots of nutrition. Kelp with Cayenne are "salty" yet low sodium thanks to the rich complement of potassium, magnesium and other mineral salts. Kelp Granules are especially rich in potassium, iron, iodine, Vitamin B-6, Riboflavin, and dietary fiber. Kelp also contains a natural substance that enhances flavor and tenderizes. Phytochemicals in Kelp have been shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies. Kelp Granules with Cayenne are a convenient way to get your sea veggies in the kitchen, at the table, or on the road. Sprinkle on soups, salads, tofu, pasta, stir-fries, dressings, dips, sauces, breads, and tabouli. Get the nutritional benefits of sea veggies and skip the table salt.Their Kelp for granules is sustainably harvested, Certified Organic by OCIA and a RAW food! We also voluntarily test for heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, PCB's, fuel oil, and microbiological contaminants. Wild Harvested Seaweeds from Downeast MaineMaine Coast Sea Vegetables is located at the very head of Frenchman's Bay. Their certified organic sea veggies are hand harvested from the rocky, sparsely populated "Downeast" coastal area between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The Harvest begins in early April, with snow pack often still on the ground and the shallow coastal inlets still frozen. The low tides of October bring us their last dulse - if they're lucky! All plants are wild and most are certified organic. Organic Certification means higher quality You may wonder why they went to the trouble and expense to become certified organic by Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), particularly as they already test their dried seaweeds for the absence of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants. It's true that compared to land plants, they have little control over the growing conditions of their wild marine plants. But they do have choices about how, when, where, and how much they harvest, as well as how the seaweed are transported, dried, stored and packaged. The Organic Standards developed by OCIA address all these areas where unacceptable practices may lead to resource depletion, product contamination, or inferior quality. These standards give clear and uniform direction to all of us (more than 40 now) responsible for harvesting and handling these precious plants. They feel this results in a higher quality as well as a cleaner product for you. Definitely worth the trouble! Harvesting for a superior productBringing sea veggies from the sea to your plate requires many hands. Perhaps none are more important than the harvesters who select the wild plants from the beds where they grow in remote Downeast bays between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The kelp harvesters are the first to get their boats in the water and don their wetsuits or hipboots in early April. When it isn't clear enough to sun dry these prime plants, indoor drying with wood heat or forced hot air are used. Since 1993 all this harvesting, hauling and storing had been accomplished following the world's first organic certification standards for sea vegetables. This means that each harvester must monitor their beds for sustainability. They must keep their freshly picked plants clear of possible contaminants throughout the harvest transport, drying and packing process. They are randomly inspected to insure compliance. They also test plants for contaminants that are water born, such as heavy metals, PCBs, herbicides, pesticides, E. coli, yeasts and molds. Maine Coast Sea Vegetables began in 1971Their company was born in 1971 over a pot of seaweed miso soup in the kitchen of Linnette and Shep Erhart overlooking Hog Bay in Franklin. They had just harvested and cooked their first alaria fronds and found the soup delicious! News of the discovery spread to friends; they told their friends... From two people producing 200 pounds in 1971, there are now about 40 of us handling around 100,000 pounds of sea vegetables annually. Another 15 year-round crew sort, pack, and market their sea veggies at their plant in Franklin, Maine. They offer seven organically certified varieties: alaria, dulse, kelp, laver, sea lettuce, rockweed and bladderwrack. They are hand harvested directly from their beds at low tides, dried at low temperatures by sun, wood or forced hot air, and then packaged. Milestones in their business 1985: They test many of their plants for 25 major nutritional factors. (See Nutritional Chart for more information) 1986: Their consumer package now offers detailed nutritional analysis, usage guidelines and recipes. 1988: They are the first to initiate annual testing of plants for possible contaminants when ocean pollution became a concern. 1992: Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is the first processor world-wide to receive organic certification for its harvesting and handling procedures. 1992: They move to a renovated 9,500 square foot facility just a few miles from their original home at the head of Frenchman's Bay. 2004: They are one of three Socially Responsible Business Award winners. The 10th Annual awards were presented in conjunction with Natural Products Expo East in Washington, DC. See their Press Release 2004 for more information. Innovations in Sea Veggie products Sea Seasonings: These convenient shakers were their first venture into ready-to-use products featuring ground sea vegetables offered plain or blended with spices and herbs. Sea Chips: America's first corn tortilla chips seasoned with sea vegetables - no salt added! Kelp Krunch: These lightly sweetened snack bars are their first foray into sea vegetables as fun food. Kids love them - which is a good sign! Mission StatementTheir mission is twofold: to provide high quality North American sea vegetables as user-friendly foods, supported by reliable information; and to build respectful, long-term relationships with their customers, suppliers, employees and the environment. Principles & PracticesTo the best of their individual and collective abilities, they pursue their mission with honesty, accountability, patience and care. They understand that these gifts from the sea come with the responsibility to maintain sustainable practices in harvesting, processing and merchandising - leaving more than they harvest, producing more than they consume, and giving back more than they take. IntentionsWith their enthusiasm, they encourage the rediscovery of this ancient food source from the sea. With their personal and traditional knowledge, they share what they have learned from their native sea vegetables and from people worldwide who have used them for centuries. With their curiosity, they learn from their customers what they already know or need to know. And with their ingenuity and respect, they intend to thrive into the 21st century.

Alliance for Quality Career Pathways
July 11, 2012
UPDATE: The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways is currently editing the beta framework. The final version will be released in June 2014.
The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways (AQCP) is a two-year (2012-2014), state-driven, CLASP-led initiative funded by the Joyce Foundation and James Irvine Foundation to identify criteria and indicators that define high-quality career pathway systems and a set of shared performance metrics for measuring and managing their success.
The career pathways approach connects progressive levels of basic skills and postsecondary education, training, and supportive services in specific sectors or cross-sector occupations in a way that optimizes the progress and success of individuals- including those with limited education, English, skills, and/or work experience-in securing marketable credentials, family-supporting employment, and further education and employment opportunities. Career pathways help employers meet their workforce needs and help states and communities strengthen their workforces and economies. They are spreading quickly across the country in workforce development, adult education, and community colleges. At least 10 states are engaged in statewide career pathways efforts and the federal government has endorsed the approach as a promising model to expand the number of postsecondary-educated adult workers in a state or local area.
Many resources and handbooks have been developed on how to design and develop career pathways and how to identify the key elements of a pathways approach. However, there are no existing and verified guidelines to help state and local career pathway partners ensure that they are building a high-quality effort that is likely to yield the strongest possible student outcomes. This is the goal of the AQCP which will be achieved through a consensus-building process driven by leading career pathways states over a two-year period (2012-2014).
Defining High-Quality Career Pathway Systems
One of the primary advantages of the career pathways approach is its responsiveness to specific and dynamic local contexts-no two career pathways will ever be exactly the same. This project will honor this critical characteristic. The framework developed by the Alliance for Quality Career Pathways is intended to provide a common understanding of high-quality career pathway systems and programs, regardless of the targeted industry, occupation, or credentials; the targeted population; or the design of the career pathways or programs. State and local/regional partnerships adopting the career pathway approach-within and beyond the ten Alliance states-can use the Alliance framework to build and strengthen their career pathway systems. This will enable them to provide seamless career paths that transcend the disconnects in the current system and provide essential supports for youths and adults - including those with limited education, English, skills, and/or work experiences - to build their skills, earn credentials of value, and access jobs and careers that support themselves and their families.
Our vision is that the Alliance framework will be instrumental in the continued growth and scaling of the career pathways field. It can be used to help existing career pathway systems ratchet up quality, help accelerate the development of new career pathway systems, and inform evaluation efforts of career pathway systems. The framework is designed to strike a balance between being deeply rooted in the reality of current career pathway efforts and aspiring to move the field to the next level of development.
Participating Alliance States
Ten states will form the core of the Alliance, meeting several times over the course of the two-year project to identify criteria and indicators of high-quality career pathways systems and shared metrics for performance measurement and continuous improvement. These Alliance states are: Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

When the tutor told his wife of this that evening, she was distraught.
He told Newsweek, in French, that he would be traveling to Los Angeles with an English tutor by his side.
Filming in Mexico City, where his tutor would supplement world-history lessons with trips to nearby Aztec ruins.
Day completely controlled her fate—he was employer, protector, and tutor all rolled into one.
Before a blaze of emotion, the tutor takes her in his arms and dances her around the stage.
I have been your tutor, and your rearing has been my charge.
If this tutor were to fall into my hands wouldn't I give it to him!
He had held the place of tutor in the family of one of our friends, and his former pupil had gone to the university.
Schools there were none, nor was it possible to get a tutor.
For these evening classes were provided, so that the tutor's time was occupied from early morning until late at night.
late 14c., "guardian, custodian," from Old French tutour "guardian, private teacher," from Latin tutorem (nominative tutor) "guardian, watcher," from tutus, variant past participle of tueri "watch over," of unknown origin. Specific sense of "senior boy appointed to help a junior in his studies" is recorded from 1680s.
1590s, from tutor (n.). Related: Tutored; tutoring.

DKNY — the secondary label of fashion designer Donna Karan — is as tied to New York City in the American mind as "I ♥ NY" shirts and rude cabbies. Nicknamed "the Queen of Seventh Avenue," Karan launched her flagship label in 1985 with Essentials — an accurately titled collection of monochromatic, cashmere and jersey women's separates designed for sophisticated working women. Karan's creations achieved instant success, and her signature style moves — all-black ensembles, curve-hugging bodysuits, and straightforward shapes — have been inspiring designers and chic city ladies ever since. In 1988 Karan launched DKNY to bring young women into her fold; over the next few years she expanded DKNY to include denim (DKNY Jeans) and menswear. Today DKNY offers dresses, shoes, hosiery, luxe wallets and handbags, sexy Intimates and shapewear, and perfume for women; underwear, outerwear, everything-in-betweenwear, suiting, and fragrances for men; and watches for both. (Almost everything, in other words.) Though Karan sold her original collection and DKNY to LVMH Moët Hennessy in 1996, she's remained active in both brands as a designer — winning the CFDA's Lifetime Achievement Award and cementing her place in the pantheon of American fashion.

Steven Van Zandt excited about 'Lilyhammer's' second season
Listen to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on iHeartRadio
Steven Van Zandt says he's proud of season two of his Netflix series, "Lilyhammer."
The show debuted last month in Norway - where the action takes place - and the rocker tells Billboard.com "half the country watched" the new episodes.
Van Zandt adds that he was much more involved, and wrote the score as well as served as the music supervisor. He says one thing he really enjoys about the series is its unpredictability. He explains that "Lilyhammer" is "not formulaic in the lease, and certainly not procedural."
And "unless something goes seriously wrong," Steven expects to be spending time next year filming season three of the series.
Season two of "Lilyhammer" will debut in the U.S. on December 13th.

Microsoft Raises Its Licensing Fees to Cash in on Bring-Your-Own-Device

BYOD fees for "user CAL" licenses of Sharepoint, Lync, etc. will jump 15 percent
Microsoft Corp. (
) has announced a change that's good news for its investors and bottom line, but likely bad news for business clients.
The change affects Microsoft's so-called client-access license (CAL). If you own a business, you purchase a CAL from Microsoft, which allows your on-site employees to use software such as:
Bing Maps Server
Core Suite
Enterprise Suite
Exchange Server Standard or Enterprise
Lync Server Standard or Enterprise
Project Server
SharePoint Server Standard or Enterprise
System Center 2012 Client Management Suite
System Center Configuration Manager
System Center Endpoint Protection
Visual Studio TFS
Windows Multipoint Server
Windows Server
Windows Server RDS, RMS, Terminal Services
There are
two flavors of CALs
-- User CALs, which allow a unique user to connect any device they own, and the Device CALs, which associate a per device license fee. Previously Microsoft had set these two licensing options to the same price.
User CALs (left) are the preferred solution for BYOD users, versus Device CALs (right).
That was great news for enterprise users, as one of the hottest trends right now in IT is the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) craze. BYOD means that one user may not only connect from both a work machine (say a work laptop), but also personal machines they own (say their personal tablet and laptop). If a business was to buy a Device CAL license, it'd have to buy three licenses for those devices, but with the User CAL, the employee had the flexibility to use any of those devices, while the employer was on the hook for only a single license fee.
But the deal is about to get a little less sweet, as Microsoft has announced that it will be bumping the price of its various User CALs by 15 percent. The price change will take affect Dec. 1. However, large customers that have Enterprise Agreements, Enterprise Subscription, Open Value Subscription, and Open Value Perpetual will be able to hang on to their current pricing until the end of their contract.
Ultimately this seems like a smart move for Microsoft. After all, a 15 percent premium User CAL is still the cheaper option for enterprise customers, if the average user connects with 2 or more devices. But the move could also backfire, forcing some smaller clients to free, open source alternatives. However, making such a switch can be costly and the end result may be inferior software, in some cases.
For those reasons it seems unlikely that Microsoft will see mass defections, even if it may be offering up an irritating change to its business clients.

Creating screencasts (screencapture)
Several methods for creating screencasts in (K)Ubuntu Linux exist.
FFMPEG with x11grab
Recent versions of FFMPEG include x11grab, a module for screen capture. This method gives the best results for screencaptures and is one of the the most flexible methods, allowing a variety of audio inputs and audiovisual output formats.
Run FFMPEG with x11grab
- The command for 2 channel audio recording using the ALSA input is:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 192k -i pulse -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /home/user/capturedvideo.avi
The order of the options is important (since some options override others). -f alsa indicates the alsa audio input (an alternative is oss). -ac 2 indicates 2 channel recording (use -ac 1 for mono). -ab 192k means 192 kb/sec audio, which may be too high for your needs. (128k is average). -i pulse indicates to use Pulse Audio (assuming you have it set up) for audio input. -i :0.0 means to capture screen 0.0 (the primary screen). -acodec pcm_s16le means to save with lossless 16-bit audio encoding (which gives a large file). You can use another audio format (such as libmp3lame) here if you wish, or re-encode later when you do processing/convert to your final desired format. Also see the FFMPEG x11grab documentation for other options.
You can also capture to a video codec other than libx264 (although without the corresponding quality of H.264/X264). In a command terminal, type ffmpeg -formats E to see which video codecs your version of FFMPEG supports. For example, to create an .avi file with an XVID video codec and an Mp3 audio codec, use the command:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 128k -i pulse -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid /home/user/capturedvideo.avi
However, I find the quality to be far superior if the capture is done in H.264/X264 and then converted to the (much smaller and more universal) XVID format in a separate step afterwards.
- Of course, the command can be used as a Menu item. When creating a Menu item, make sure the "Advanced -> Run in terminal" box is ticked.
- To stop the recording, enter "CTRL-C" (or "q" in earlier versions) in the terminal window in which FFMPEG/x11grab is running.
- If you have xwininfo installed (installed already in Debian/(K)Ubuntu), you can replace
-s 1024x768
- with
-s $(xwininfo -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}')
- in order to automatically capture whatever-sized screen you have. The command would then be:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 192k -i pulse -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}') -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /home/user/capturedvideo.avi
- A benefit of using Pulse Audio is that several inputs can be combined, allowing both microphone input and music input, for example. The relative volumes can be controlled using Pulse Audio Volume Control (sudo apt-get install pavucontrol).
- If you do not have Pulse Audio installed, you can capture from the primary audio input card by replacing
-i pulse
- with
-i hw:0,0
- or
-i /dev/dsp
- It is possible to record only part of the screen by specifying an offset from the upper left corner of the screen. Use the option :0.0+10,20 where 10 is an example of a x-offset from the left of the screen and 20 is an example of the Y offset from the top of the screen. Also specify the size of the area to recorded, for example -s 320x240. A complete command might then be
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 128k -i pulse -f x11grab -s 320x240 -r 30 -i :0.0+10,20 -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid /home/user/capturedvideo.avi
- After completing the screencapture, you can then edit and convert it to the desired final format, using FFMPEG (perhaps with the WinFF GUI), mencoder (with or without a front-end such as Avidemux), or a standalone video editor. Some examples of conversion methods are here.
- A video of this procedure is here on YouTube.
kX11grab is the KDE version of QtX11grab, a frontend for FFMPEG/x11grab screengrabs. It is in alpha stage and does not yet work well.
- Install kx11grab:
sudo apt-get install kx11grab
- Start kX11grab:
- K menu -> Utilities -> kx11grab
Install the newest version of FFMPEG with x11grab
- Older repository-supplied versions of FFMPEG did not have X11grab nor X264 support in them. If you have a very old installation, you can install the newest version of FFMPEG and X264 using the instructions from this thread.
Note: The current, updated versions of FFMPEG in Lucid, Maverick, and Natty are all compiled with x11grab and X264 capabilities. On my Lucid machine, X264 version 85 is already installed, and on Natty, version 106 is already installed. The newest version of X264 (as of 8-2011) is version 116.
If you want the most current version of FFMPEG and the H.264 / X264 video codec, however, then compile and install new versions using these instructions (recreated here).
- Uninstall x264, libx264-dev, and ffmpeg:
sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev
- Install dependencies needed for retrieving, compiling, and running the new versions (you may need to ensure the Universe and Multiverse repositories are enabled):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall git libfaac-dev libjack-jackd2-dev sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev sudo apt-get install libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev libxvidcore-dev texi2html sudo apt-get install yasm zlib1g-dev
- Retrieve, compile, and install a new version of the X264 video codec from VideoLAN (makers of VLC). (Note: Ubuntu normally installs x264 in /usr/bin/x264.):
cd git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264 cd x264 ./configure --enable-static make sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion="3:$(./version.sh|awk -F'[" ]' '/POINT/{print $4"+git"$5}')" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
- Note: Git uses port 9418 by default. Make sure the Git port is unblocked in your firewall. The last command will build a .deb package named something similar to /home/user/x264/x264_0.116.2074+git2641b9e-1_i386.deb. The installed package can be removed later, if desired, using dpkg -r x264.
- Retrieve, compile, and install a recent version of FFMPEG. (Note: Ubuntu normally installs FFMPEG in /usr/bin/ffmpeg and related modules in /usr/bin/ffplay, /usr/bin/ffprobe, /usr/bin/ffserver, and /usr/bin/qt-faststart.):
cd git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg cd ffmpeg ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-version3 --enable-x11grab make sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion="5:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default hash x264 ffmpeg ffplay ffprobe
- Note: Git uses port 9418 by default. Make sure the Git port is unblocked in your firewall. The second-to-last command will build a .deb package named something similar to /home/user/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_201109031233-git-1_i386.deb. The installed package can be removed later, if desired, using dpkg -r ffmpeg.
- Some programs may expect ffmpeg to be in /usr/bin, so create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /home/user/ffmpeg/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg
Add a webcam to a screencast
- To show your webcam in your screencast, install one of three webcam applications:
- Cheese (sudo apt-get install cheese) is a Gnome-based webcam application with many options and a re-sizable window.
- Kamoso (sudo apt-get install kamoso) is a KDE-based webcam application.
- Xawtv (sudo apt-get install xawtv) is a Gtk-based application. Because the Xawtv window can be arranged so that only the webcam image is shown, it is my favorite webcam display for screencasts. (Click on "X" in the window bar -> Advanced -> No Border (ticked) .)
Any of these applications can be used in (K)Ubuntu.
Start the desired application until your webcam is showing. Position the webcam image on your desktop as desired. Now start your screencapture and the webcam window will be included.
Record microphone and speaker output simultaneously
This example assumes Pulse Audio is installed on the system. This was tested on Natty.
- Make sure PulseAudio Volume Control is installed:
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
- Start FFMPEG/x11grab as above:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 192k -i pulse -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}') -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /home/user/capturedvideo.avi
- Start an audio application (such as Audacious, Amarok, Rhythmbox, etc.) so that some audio output is playing through the speakers.
- Start PulseAudio Volume Control:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control
- Select as an input "Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo":
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Input Devices -> Show: All Input Devices
- -> Make sure Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo is not muted (click on speaker icon)
- Make sure your microphone is plugged in.
- Select as an input "Internal Audio Analog Stereo: Analog Microphone":
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Input Devices -> Show: All Input Devices
- -> Make sure "Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo: Port: Analog Microphone " is not muted (click on speaker icon)
- Make sure the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" device is selected for the ALSA plug-in [ffmpeg] application:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Recording -> ALSA plug-in [ffmpeg]: ALSA capture from: Internal Audio Analog Stereo
- gtk-recordMyDesktop -- a one-step solution. Audio can be captured as well, including through the microphone (whichever inputs are enabled in the mixer/pulse audio system will be captured). Even a virtual machine like VirtualBox can send its audio through the Pulse Audio system, so it can also be captured. The recorded .ogv file can then be converted to a Flash video (.flv) with:
mencoder -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -oac mp3lame -af volnorm=1:0.5 your_file.ogv -o your_file.flv
- or to an .avi (for use with Avidemux, for example):
mencoder -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -oac mp3lame -af volnorm=1:0.5 your_file.ogv -o your_file.avi
- If mencoder is not installed:
sudo apt-get install mencoder
xvidcap with Audacity
- Screencasts in Ubuntu -- record video from a virtual (QEMU) desktop using xvidcap, then record audio using Audacity, then put them together using Avidemux. Any virtual desktop (Virtualbox, VMWare) could be used instead of QEMU.
Using VNC to capture another computer's screen
- Hybrid Linux/Windows method -- a YouTube video using two computers connected by VNC.
Troubleshooting tips
A method that has worked for me in the past is the method described using Avidemux. I use either gtk-recordMyDesktop or xvidcap to capture the video, as above (saving as an .avi). The problem for me is that Avidemux is rather particular about the audio formats it will accept. I have found that it will not accept many mp3 files (depending on the codec originally used to create the mp3 file). However, I have found that if I import any mp3 file into Audacity and then re-export it as an mp3, Audacity will re-encode it with a codec (libmp3lame) that Avidemux likes.
I can therefore combine the .avi video with the .mp3 audio (created by Audacity) using Avidemux.
Screencasts in Windows
Some users will run (K)Ubuntu in a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMWare, QEMU) in Windows. For those users who wish to record a screencast, there are two good open source screen recording utilities:
- CamStudio -- works similarly to gtk-recordMyDesktop, with capabilities of converting to Flash videos (.flv and .swf). Records audio and video with options for annotation and other effects.
- Wink -- essentially a screen capture, it is good for animations with each frame individually constructed. It can output to a video file, including Flash videos.
Exercise: Slideshow with audio track
This may seem a bit cumbersome, but it works for me. If you have a better method please add it! (Note: I now use the FFMPEG with x11grab method at the top of this page. This method below was how I originally did it.)
- Gwenview is installed by default in Kubuntu. I then install Avidemux, Audacity, gtk-recordMyDesktop, mencoder, ffmpeg, and kubuntu-restricted-extras.
- Start gtk-recordMyDesktop but do not use the sound recording portion (leave the Sound Quality box unticked). I find that gtk-recordMyDesktop audio recording is choppy and therefore less than desirable for me (even on my dual-core 64-bit system with 3 Gb RAM).
- Start Gwenview and find the folder with your pics that will be made into a slideshow. Start gtk-recordMyDesktop recording and the start the slideshow (Gwenview -> View - Start Slideshow). Record until all the slides have displayed. Then stop gtk-recordMyDesktop recording. The file will be saved as an .ogv file (such as MyRecordedFile.ogv).
- Convert the .ogv file to an .avi file:
mencoder -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -oac mp3lame -af volnorm=1:0.5 MyRecordedFile.ogv -o MyRecordedFile.avi
- Create your soundtrack from mp3's or recorded files using Audacity.
- If you wish to join several mp3 files into a single mp3, you can concatenate them:
cat File1.mp3 File2.mp3 File3.mp3 > CombinedFile.mp3
Import the mp3 file into Audacity and edit as desired. Export the resulting edited file into a new mp3 file (such as MyAudacitySoundtrackFile.mp3). Even if you make no edits, you should re-export every mp3 using Audacity because Avidemux doesn't always recognize the codecs originally used to create many mp3s (but it always recognizes the mp3s exported by Audacity).
- Open Avidemux. Open your video file (Avidemux -> File -> Open -> MyRecordedFile.avi).
- If you wish to trim the file, move the A and B markers to the beginning and end of the desired segment.
- Add the soundtrack you created with Audacity. (Avidemux -> Audio -> Main Track ... -> Audio Source: External MP3 -> External File: MyAudacitySoundtrackFile.mp3)
- Save the file with the new soundtrack. (Avidemux -> File -> Save -> Save Video... -> MyNewCombinedFile.avi)
This file can be uploaded directly to YouTub or other sites, or you can convert it into a Flash video:
mencoder -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -oac mp3lame -af volnorm=1:0.5 MyNewCombinedFile.avi -o MyNewCombinedFile.flv

I give a summary of recent progress in establishing the diffusion approximation for random band matrices. We obtain a rigorous derivation of the diffusion profile in the regime W > N^{4/5}, where W is the band width and N the dimension of the matrix. As a corollary, we prove complete delocalization of the eigenvectors. Our proof is based on a new self-consistent equation for the Green function.

7 Honey Cocktails to Start Your Buzz
This Belgian-style witbier is brewed with traditional orange peel and coriander, but Japan's popular Kiuchi Brewery (look for its labels featuring an owl) goes a step farther with additions of orange juice and nutmeg. Brothers Eric and Bruce Bromberg have Hitachino Nest White Ale available at their Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya, where they recommend pairing it with their baked clams or fried oyster roll, and at their Blue Ribbon Beer Garden, where the brothers say try it with BBQ ribs. "Smoky BBQ works really well," the Brombergs say.
Local water and koshihikari rice from Japan's Niigata region, site of Echigo Beer Co., give this clean, crisp lager a sense of terroir. Its lack of malted barley or wheat makes it naturally gluten-free, and its unobtrusive flavor and relatively low alcohol content (5% ABV) make it an ideal session beer for, say, eating a whole bunch of different food while watching a game.

Much of the discussion about sustainability has focused on the contribution we can make to curb energy use and the effects of greenhouse gasses on the environment. The argument goes that by acting now, in collaboration with government, industry, and others, we can head off the destructive consequences of climate change. But what if the horse is already out of the barn?
If the recent floods, wildfires, heat waves, and judgment day–type storms were simply this summer's phenomenon, we might shrug it off. But over the past decade, stuff like this has been happening at an increasing rate. Something unusual is going on when the water level of New York's East River has risen 5 inches in the past 50 years. And that's a fact. Or, when huge sheets of ice from Greenland and Antarctica are sliding off into the sea. Also a fact.
Meaningful action by governments around the world has been stalled by a perfect storm of vested interests and a failure of leadership. In this country, we've been frustrated by those who argue the weather has always had its ups and downs; some years hot and dry, others cold and wet. It's all part of the natural cycle, they say. However, when records going back to the Industrial Revolution are plotted out on a graph, the data points follow an increasingly upward trajectory. Something is putting the climate's natural cycles on steroids. Again, this is not speculation; it's a fact. And facts, as John Adams wrote, are stubborn things.
I'm not suggesting we cease from our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality in the built environment. This must continue. What I am saying is the design professions have to become actively engaged with those who will listen to develop plans to deal with the new normal of extreme weather events. We are not without tools. Right now the challenge is to incorporate resilience into our communities through design. Critical facilities such as fire stations and hospitals must be able to survive the loss of essential services in the event of a natural disaster.
But our engagement in scenario planning can't stop there. What if there's a massive displacement of people who live along our coasts? Where will they relocate? And how will they be fed, since climate change is predicted to have a devastating effect on agriculture around the world? Media attention will come and go. But we can't lose our focus: If we're living in a world we can no longer control, we have no time to lose to develop a coordinated humane response. aia
