Scholar Anne McClintock will give the talk, "Invisible Wars: Imperial Ghosting, Pornography and the Global Crisis of Masculinity," on Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. in Trout Auditorium of the Vaughan Literature Building at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is part of the ongoing Visiting Distinguished Lecture in Women's and Gender Studies series sponsored by the Women's and Gender Studies department at Bucknell.
McClintock is the Simone de Beauvoir Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research explores the lived interlacings of gender, race and class within imperial modernity, from the late Victorian era, through apartheid South Africa, to the current U.S. 'War on Terror.' Her work interrogates how power is imposed, how it is lived in the flesh, how it is embodied in the most intimate objects and spaces of ordinary life, how it can be challenged and transformed.
In 1995, McClintock published Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest, which has won many accolades and is widely read across a variety of disciplines. She co-edited Dangerous Liaisons: Gender, Race and Postcolonial Perspectives with Ella Shohat and Aamir Mufti. She has written two short biographies, on Olive Schreiner and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as a monograph, Double Crossings, on madness, sexuality and colonialism. She has edited Sex Workers and Sex Work, a collection of writings about sex work, and co-edited Queer Transexions of Race, Nation and Gender.
McClintock has been the recipient of many awards, including two MacArthur-SSRC Fellowships, a Woodrow Wilson/Charlotte Newcombe Fellowship, a Human Rights Distinguished Fellowship, and four Columbia Presidential Fellowships. She has been awarded 14 creative writing fellowships at prominent Artist Centers, including Blue Mountain Center for the Arts, The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Dorland.
Her academic writing has appeared in Critical Inquiry, Transition, Social Text, New Formations, Feminist Review, South Atlantic Quarterly, and Small Axe, among other venues. Her work has been translated into French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Swedish, Taiwanese and Mandarin. Her creative writing and journalism has appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Guardian (London), The Times Literary Supplement, The Village Voice, New York Newsday, and The Women's Review of Books.

Héctor "Macho" Camacho Through the Years
Puerto Rican boxer Héctor "Macho" Camacho has had an embattled career. From his triumphs as lightweight and junior welterweight world title winners in the 1980s to his controversial personal life, Camacho has never been shy of the spotlight.
Even in a sport driven by larger-than-life personalities, former world champion boxer Héctor "Macho" Camacho stood out.
Camacho died Saturday after the decision was made to take him off of life support. The fighter was declared brain dead on Wednesday morning, hours after being shot in the head and neck.
Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Camacho was raised in East Harlem, N.Y., where he took up the sport that would take him to the top. His brash personality and cocky demeanor made him both a favorite for fight fans to root for and against.
Camacho was talented. Although he never saw the level of success that has defined the greatest of the greats, many boxing fans and experts have long believed the former world champion deserves a spot in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Considered one of the best Puerto Rican boxers in history, Camacho held WBC and WBO titles in the featherweight, lightweight and light welterweight titles. He went 79-6-3 with 38 knockouts over his 30-year career. His lengthy list of opponents included Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Ray Mancini, Sugar Ray Leonard and Felix Trinidad.
Camacho was entertaining. In a sport known for swagger, the man known as "Macho" had more swagger than any other fighter around at one time. Yes, boxing is about the actual fight itself, but on the professional level, the sport is also about the spectacle. There were the costumes – oh, the costumes – from firefighter to Indian chief to Roman gladiator. There were the capes and loincloth shorts. His oversized gold chain necklace that spelled out his nickname and weighed probably as much as any of his title belts.
Camacho was unpredictable. He was not a fighter who spoke in clichéd, been-there, heard-that-sound bites. The four-time titleholder also could be counted on to liven up any news conference, to deliver something memorable in any interview. He was not a man for the politically correct.
In fact, Camacho was nothing if not controversial. But the history of boxing is filled with polarizing characters. Those storylines are the ones that help sell the sport. And Camacho did his part.
Like many boxers, Camacho refused to give up the sport, even as he passed his prime. He returned to the ring over and over again. Even upon his death at age 50, Camacho was reportedly considering another comeback. His last professional fight came in 2010.
Camacho struggled with his own shortcomings -- and certainly there were many -- but as the boxing world and those who knew him mourn his loss, Camacho's contribution to the sport and the legacy he leaves should not be overlooked.

Prepare to be dazzled by incredible Indonesia
Don't be fooled into thinking Indonesia is 'just another island getaway', because the scale of experiences you'll have in this magical country are truly epic. Miles of empty beaches, steamy verdant rainforests, volcano-studded valleys, culture-rich cities, ancient temples – and that's just the places they tell you about. From Yogyakarta to Mt Bromo, Seloliman to Ubud, take this journey and fall in love with incredible Indonesia.
Yogyakarta is one of South-East Asia's standout spots, and a cycling trip takes you through its backcountry, a world of flower-studded fields and smiling locals
Take a guided walk through the jungle and rice paddies of Seloliman Nature Reserve, then sit back, relax and soak up the ambience under the stars
Climbing Mt Bromo in the early hours of the morning is an adventure to remember. If the conditions are right, you'll be rewarded with a dazzling sunset over mist-laden volcanoes
Get behind the scenes of some of Java's fascinating local industries – from coffee, cocoa and palm sugar to traditional Javanese medicine
There's plenty of time to chill out at beautiful Pemuteran by the beach
This trip involves a fair amount of hiking and cycling. A moderate level of fitness will help you to get the most out of this trip.
Java is one of the largest islands in Indonesia, and this trip covers a lot of ground. Travel times can be long and delays are common. Where suitable, you'll travel by train instead of drive, which will make the journey more comfortable.
It's important not to make your bags too heavy, as you will be expected to carry them onto and off trains, and walk them short distances. Porters are available in most stations at an extra charge.
Accommodation at Seloliman Nature Reserve, and near Mt Bromo is in basic guesthouses. Set on the edge of a tropical forest the Seloliman Reserve embraces philosophies of environmental education, and we are sure you will get a good nights sleep. The next night close to the base Mt Bromo our guesthouse is selected for it's location. Our stay is short, as we awake very early the next day for our sunrise hike.
Dress standards in Java are more conservative than in other areas of Indonesia. Show your respect by covering your knees and shoulders when visiting temples. It's a great idea to bring your own sarong.

Who's in it? Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen (pictured). Also stars Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Det. Quentin Lance. What it's about: Based on the DC Comics hero who we last saw in "Smallville" (and played by Justin Hartley, now starring in "Emily Owens, M.D.," "Arrow" tells the tale of billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who after being presumed dead for five years returns to Starling City a changed man who has heroic deeds planned. It has an all-star production team, including executive producers Greg Berlanti ("Green Lantern," "Brothers & Sisters"), Marc Guggenheim ("FlashForward," "Eli Stone"), Andrew Kreisberg ("Warehouse 13," "The Vampire Diaries") and David Nutter ("Smallville," "Supernatural," "Game of Thrones"). How long before I bail? Those producers promise a darker hero story than "Smallville," which can only be a plus. And with Amell in the lead role--check him out in the previews--I'm in for at least 10 episodes and probably more. I see a Shirtless Man of the Week for the fall. 1st Look at Stephen Amell as "Arrow"

COLUMBUS — A panel studying ways to boost Ohio's college graduation rate says tuition should be raised on students to out-of-state rates and their institutions should see state stipends reduced if they're taking too long to graduate.
In its new report, the Complete College Ohio Task Force also recommended that institutions offer tuition guarantees tied to a student completing coursework on a set schedule, and distribute financial aid "as a paycheck," rather than in a lump sum, to encourage students to work less and take more classes.
Ohio Chancellor Jim Petro told educators gathered for a conference in Columbus that it's imperative Ohio boost the number of residents who complete a college degree or certificate.
"Completion is probably our most important objective as people engaged in the University System of Ohio," he said.
Only about a quarter of Ohioans hold college degrees, about five points below the national average. The lag has left many non-degreed Ohioans unemployed even as high-paying jobs open up in fields like technology, health care and energy.
The task force made 20 recommendations in all. They included getting families and high schools more engaged — and sooner — in students' college planning, better defining what it means to be ready for college, and boosting Ohioans' financial literacy and knowledge of available jobs.
The panel urged policymakers to replace the Ohio Graduation Test with a nationally standardized assessment, such as the ACT, and administer end-of-year exams to freshmen, sophomores and juniors that measure knowledge in specific content areas.
The scenario involving tuition hikes to out-of-state rates would only kick in "for students exceeding a significant threshold number of credit hours well beyond degree requirements," under the panel's proposal.
The group made no suggestion of freezing or capping college tuitions, as Ohio has done in the past. Since such limits were removed, universities across the state — Ohio State, Miami and Ohio universities among them — have approved tuition hikes.
But the panel suggests other ways to make college access easier for many types of students. Military training and experience would earn college credit, advanced high school and technical school credits would more easily count toward a degree, and workforce training would be rewarded.
The task force also recommended what's called "intrusive" advising, where help is provided to students whether they ask for it or not. The approach links a hand-selected college adviser to each student who monitors their academic progress and encourages involvement in student activities, clubs and causes that could increase their chances of staying in college until they earn their degree.

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — A judge sent jurors home after they heard the last testimony at Drew Peterson's murder trial on Thursday, saying they will return after Labor Day to hear closing arguments.
The state called just two witnesses, both forensic pathologists, in a one-day rebuttal as they entered the last evidence against the former suburban Chicago police officer.
Peterson has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub. He faces a maximum 60-year prison term if convicted.
Peterson was charged after his young fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007. Authorities presume she is dead. Drew Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance but hasn't been charged.
The pathologists who testified Thursday sought to reassert the state's contention that Savio was killed in an attack. Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Mary Case countered assertions by pathologists testifying for the defense that a gash on the back of Savio's head and wounds on her front resulted from one deadly slip in the tub.
"You don't get these kind of injuries from a bathtub fall," Case said.
Attorneys are expected to deliver closing arguments Tuesday.
Defense attorney Joe Lopez told reporters that he will try to fill out the story of his client's innocence.
"Some of the things we were criticized for ... when you put it together in the final story, you'll say, 'Now I see what they were doing,'" Lopez said. He didn't elaborate.
The lead prosecutor, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, sounded upbeat as he left the courthouse Thursday.
"It has been a grueling five weeks, and we're extremely satisfied with the place that we're at right now," Glasgow said about the trial.
Chris Koch, an assistant state's attorney, is expected to deliver the closing. Glasgow will have the last word to jurors in a rebuttal.
In a case where there was no physical evidence tying Peterson to Savio's death and where prosecutors relied heavily on hearsay, the judge's instructions on how jurors should assess testimony could be critical.
The state called more than 30 witnesses over their monthlong case, including several who testified about what Savio told them before she died and what Stacy Peterson said before she vanished. Hearsay, or statements not based on a witness's direct knowledge, is typically barred in U.S. courts, but Illinois passed a law geared to Peterson's case that allows it in certain circumstances.
The defense called about a dozen witnesses over three days this week, including the 19-year-old son of Drew Peterson and Savio. Thomas Peterson testified that he never believed for a second that his father killed his mother.
One challenge for prosecutors will be to convince jurors that Savio — whose death was initially ruled an accident — was, in fact, murdered. Both sides called pathologists to support their opposing contentions.
The challenge for the defense will be to discredit the hearsay. Several witnesses testified that Drew Peterson repeatedly threatened Savio, once by allegedly breaking into her home and telling her at knifepoint he could kill her and make it look accidental.
Among the testimony Lopez may have to account for is that of divorce lawyer Harry Smith. He told jurors how Stacy Peterson asked, days before she vanished, if she could extort her husband by threatening to tell police he killed Savio. The defense hoped to blunt Stacy Peterson's credibility, but some observers said Smith's testimony merely stressed to jurors that his fourth wife was convinced Peterson killed his third wife.

Critics don't often get rewarded by the professions they serve, but today the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced it will bestow its highest honour on one of its longest-serving judges, declaring 87-year-old historian and theorist Joseph Rykwert as the recipient of the 2014 Royal Gold Medal.
It is a prize that usually goes to practicing architects: when he receives the gong from the Queen in February next year, Rykwert will join only a small handful of writers since the award began in 1848, including most recently Nikolaus Pevsner (1967), John Summerson (1976) and Colin Rowe (1995).

Justice Dept objects to Texas voter ID law, saying many Hispanic voters lack state-issued ID
WASHINGTON (AP) ' The Justice Department's civil rights division has objected to the new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas, saying many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.
The department says the state has failed to show that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect.
In a letter to Texas officials, the Justice Department says Hispanic voters in Texas are as much as 120 percent more likely than non-Hispanic voters to lack a driver's license or personal state-issued photo ID.

STOCKTON - Weston Ranch battled back from an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit when Eric Duncan hit a 3-pointer with 1 second remaining to force overtime against visiting Sierra.
STOCKTON - Weston Ranch battled back from an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit when Eric Duncan hit a 3-pointer with 1 second remaining to force overtime against visiting Sierra.
However, the Timberwolves went on an 8-2 run in the extra period and held on for a 73-68 win to now have sole possession of first place in the Valley Oak League.
"We had a chance to pull away late in the game and we let them come back," Sierra coach Scott Thomason said. "You have to give Duncan a lot of credit when he hit that tough shot. I thought we did a good job of building up on the 3. I thought Weston Ranch played hard - they are a very good team."
Guillermo Nunez and Eric Melgar directed the backcourt for the Timberwolves (19-3, 9-0 VOL) and scored 24 and 18 points, respectively. Emmanuel Elijah came up big in the fourth quarter and overtime for Sierra when he scored 11 of his 13 points.
"We just were not going to back down," Elijah said. "We kept fighting and fighting until the final buzzer."
In addition to four points in overtime, Elijah had two steals, two rebounds and an assist.
Duncan, Davieon Leverett and Dylan Alexander accounted for 57 points for the Cougars (14-7, 8-1). Alexander scored 24 points, Leverett added 19 and Duncan had 14. Leverett had a game-high nine rebounds, and Alexander had five steals in the first half.

At Lincoln, the Knights earned their 20th victory of the season in a heated contest against the Eagles, whose winning streak was snapped at 16 games.
Brookside Christian won in front of a near-capacity crowd at Lincoln High and now sits atop the Central California Athletic Alliance. Nick Payne scored 20 points to lead the Knights (20-1, 5-0), and Eric DeAnda and Kameron Vales scored 18 and 11 points, respectively.
The Eagles (18-4, 4-1 CCAA) were led by Adam Gotelli with a game-high 26 points before he fouled out with a minute remaining in the game. David Lerma scored 11 points for Elliot Christian.
"This (win) shows we're not a fluke team," said Payne, who said the team's goal was to contain Gotelli, who scored 42 points earlier in the week. "We can contend in the playoffs."
Brookside led to 52-38 heading into the final quarter, but the Eagles made the game close. A pair of free throws by Lerma cut the deficit to 56-50 with 2:17 remaining, but the Knights made 11 of 14 at the free-throw line to seal the game.
"We're tenacious," Brookside coach Adam Lichter said. "I'm proud of the effort my guys put in on a consistent basis. We hope to make a run in the section playoffs."

At Bear Creek, Ryan Fernandez had 19 points as the Trojans (18-3, 6-0 SJAA) cruised past the Bruins (11-12, 3-3), outscoring them 36-14 in the second and third quarters. Dwayne Lee led Bear Creek with 15 points.
At McNair, Justin Saar went 12 of 14 at the free-throw line and made seven shots, including four 3-pointers, for a game-high 30 points for the Wolf Pack (17-6, 4-2 TCAL). Marcus Cotton scored 26 points for the Eagles (10-13, 2-4), who were whistled for 28 fouls and had four players foul out.

|The Garden
Since the early 1980s, Pearl Fryar has created fantastic topiary at his garden in Bishopville, South Carolina. Living sculptures, Pearl's topiary are astounding feats of artistry and horticulture. Many of the plants in Pearl's garden were rescued from the compost pile at local nurseries. With Pearl's patience and skilled hands, these "throw aways" have thrived and have been transformed into wonderful abstract shapes. Pearl Fryar and his garden are now internationally recognized and have been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, television shows, and even a documentary, A Man Named Pearl. Today, the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden draws visitors from around the globe.
Visitors to the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden experience a place that is alternately beautiful, whimsical, educational, and inspiring. Pearl's garden contains over 300 individual plants and few are spared from his skilled trimming. His extraordinary topiary is complemented by his "junk art" sculptures placed throughout the garden. Pearl's garden is a living testament to one man's firm belief in the results of positive thinking, hard work, and perseverance, and his dedication to spreading a message of "love, peace and goodwill."
In 2006, the Garden Conservancy and the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden, Inc. formed a partnership with Pearl Fryar. Through this partnership, they hope to preserve and maintain the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden and to further Pearl's message of inspiration and hope.
Please consider donating to the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden, Inc. to help ensure that Pearl's garden is cared for and kept open to inspire future generations.

Misguided Darling of the Techno-Geeks or Workhorse for the Law Office?
By Peter C. Scott
Unless you are incorrigibly technophobic, you probably have at least the vague impression that Linux is a free operating system that runs on PCs. You may even have noticed that Linux is being sold in an odd assortment of stores, from Staples to Borders, by companies such as Red Hat (www.redhat.org) and Corel (http://linux.corel.com). You may be wondering just what Linux is, why a supposedly "free" product is being sold for good hard cash, and whether you should look at Linux for your law office.What Is Linux, Exactly?
Simply (and more accurately) put, Linux is the kernel of an operating system (OS) that works much like the powerhouse operating system UNIX. The kernel is the part that handles the nitty-gritty work of the operating system. The kernel does not do much by itself, however. To work, the kernel needs a lot of other parts to make a whole operating system. Think of a computer without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse-just the box by itself-and you get the general idea.
Linux (the kernel) was developed by Linus Torvalds when he was a student at the University of Helsinki in Finland. He started the project in 1991 and released version 1.0 in 1994. The most recent version of the kernel, 2.2, was released in 1999 and is the result of years of work by numerous individuals, including Torvalds.
The story of what we think of as Linux (the operating system) actually starts earlier, in 1984, with a guy from MIT named Richard Stallman, who created the GNU Project (www.gnu.org). GNU is a recursive acronym that stands for GNU's Not UNIX. The idea was to make a free, UNIX-like operating system. It started from the bottom with a text editor and a compiler. With those tools, the thought was, one could make the rest. The ultimate goal is to provide free software to do all of the jobs computer users want to do-and thus make proprietary software obsolete (see www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-history.html). It's hard not to root for that kind of ambition.So Who Owns Linux?
Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds. Beyond that, however, Linux and all GNU software is "free," though it all comes with some interesting restrictions.
When Stallman started the GNU Project, he considered a number of ways to view the concept of "free" software. Free might mean simply "no cost." The no-cost software might, however, be "closed" in the sense that you cannot look at or modify the source code (the instructions that make the program work). This would mean that you could not make changes or learn from others' efforts.
Software that is both "no cost" and "open" would be an improvement, but that might make the software part of the public domain. Someone can take public domain software, modify it, and make it proprietary. This would be contrary to the sense of cooperation and community.The GNU Public License
Stallman wanted to make software that people could use, modify, and share with their friends. He also wanted to enforce the sense of community that he felt existed in the computer programming community. The GNU Public License (GPL) was designed to do this.
Under the GPL, you can copy the software, modify it, distribute it, even charge for it. What you cannot do, however, is restrict other people from copying the software, modifying it, distributing it, or charging for it. Any modifications you make to the source code cannot in any way limit others' rights to use it. This is the kind of freedom Stallman sought.
When you think about it, this is a rather clever idea. I do not know whether the GPL has been tested in court, but I know who I am rooting for if it happens.Can One Trust Linux?
Linux is written by a large number of programmers who, by and large, receive no compensation for working on it. A rational question at this point might be: Why should I put the fate of my business in the hands of a bunch of nameless propeller heads who may wake up (or grow up) someday and decide they're bored with improving Linux? I mean, what's the profit in writing free code anyway? Greed (or enlightened self-interest) is what made this country great, not some communal-hippy-geek philosophy.
That analysis fails to take into account the nature of the computer programming community. Programmers generally enjoy programming. They also like being appreciated for doing a good job. What better way to enhance your reputation in the programming community than by writing a part of Linux? People who use your creation give you an indirect compliment, and real geeks can look at the source code and see how clever you are.
Beyond that, however, I have a theory that the best thing that ever happened to Linux was Microsoft, which has a reputation for producing buggy, overpriced, unstable operating systems. It also has the reputation for crushing anything that gets in its way. What better motivation could a community have than a common enemy, some minion from the Evil Empire squatting inside the computer in the next cubicle?
For this reason, I am rooting for Microsoft in its battle with the Justice Department. Feed the beast, I say. Let Microsoft get big and fat and slow. It will be crushed by its own weight. But I digress.The Bridge Analogy
Let's go back to the original question of whether you should trust Linux. Suppose you're the mayor of a town located on both sides of a wide river. You want to build a modern bridge to join the two sides and replace the old, worn-out bridge that was built many years earlier. You submit a request for proposals and get two responses.
The first comes from a well-known company that says that it has just the plans you need. The company tells you:
- You must pay an enormous amount of money for a complete set of plans.
- Neither you nor your engineer may look at the plans, either before or after you buy them.
- If anything goes wrong with the plans, the company will not promise to fix the problem.
- If the company does decide to fix it, you will have to pay an additional amount for the new plans.
The second proposal comes from a local group of concerned citizens. They give you a complete set of plans and invite you and your engineer to take a look. They say that thousands of the best engineers in the nation have already looked at the plans and have made suggestions for improvement. They promise to provide you with updates and improvements for the plans as soon as they are made. They also say that the plans will never, ever cost a dime.
You are a bit skeptical of getting something good without having to pay anything. Hey, this is America, after all. Then somebody reminds you that the first company has a reputation for having their bridges shut down unexpectedly during rush hour and for bullying all major bridge contractors into selling only their plans.
OK, you say, a bit skeptically, but we are trying to practice law here, not build bridges. Is Linux appropriate for the law office? We are trying to practice law here, not build bridges. Would I recommend Linux for use by lawyers? As lawyers are apt to say: It depends. Do you want to use it in the front office (on the lawyer's desktop) or in the back office (as the backbone of your network)? How big is your office? What application software do you use?Linux as Network OS
Linux is a full-featured network operating system. It is very powerful, very stable, very secure. You can set up a nice network using Linux as a file or print server. You can even put Windows machines on the network using a utility called SAMBA, and the Windows machines will happily coexist with Linux. I know; I did it at home using old 486s that my firm was throwing out. It turns out that Linux runs very well, at least in text-only form, on older machines. Old 486s make excellent file and print servers.
However, I also know that Linux is quite difficult for the average person to set up and maintain. If good old DOS made you nervous, you will have a breakdown with Linux. Then again, I doubt that setting up a Windows NT server is a good job for a newbie.
A sole practitioner who wants to network two or three computers can probably get away with the networking capabilities built into Windows 98. A Win98 network is quite easy to set up. Really. It is also reasonably reliable. Well, it is as reliable as Windows 98-which is to say not particularly reliable, I guess. As long as Windows 98 is up and running on all machines, you should be able to share files and peripherals with relative ease.
An office with more than one lawyer or more than a couple of computers would probably be a good candidate for a more sophisticated network. Someone considering Novell or Windows NT as a network probably should also consider Linux.
The only hitch is finding someone who knows enough about Linux to get you up and running. Finding the right consultant, however, is the main problem regardless of what type of network you're running. A lousy consultant will make even the most robust network run poorly. Come to think of it, the best advice might be simply to find the best consultant you can and buy whatever he or she sells.
Given a choice, however, I would choose someone who knows Linux. Cost is a factor, but not necessarily a major one. You may well end up paying nearly as much for a Linux consultant with a free OS as you would for a commercial OS plus consultant. Stability is also a minor factor. A well-configured network (regardless of brand) should run indefinitely without major glitches. It's the desktop computers that tend to crash, not the servers.
So why pick Linux, you ask. Because I'm not convinced that either Novell or Microsoft makes a better network OS than Linux, I personally would have more confidence in a consultant who shared that view. Besides, I would know that the consultant's judgment was not colored by the profit made on the sale of the OS.Linux as Desktop OS
Whether or not you use Linux as a network OS, you may decide to use it as the desktop OS. Most computers that use the Pentium chip-which is to say the vast majority of computers these days-run Windows as the desktop OS. Let's face it, we are used to a Windows environment.
Linux also has a pretty face for the desktop. There are several versions. One is called Gnome (www.gnome.org), which is part of the GNU Project. Another is called the K Desktop Environment (KDE; www.kde.org), which is also free. As I write this, a number of the major players in the industry (Compaq, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun) are set to get behind Gnome.
I have used both Gnome and KDE on Linux. I find KDE a bit more pleasant to use, but I could get used to either one. They both do the job, though in all honesty Windows 98 looks a bit prettier to me. Maybe I'm just used to it, though.
Until recently, however, I would have said without qualification that the only reasons to put a Linux OS on your desktop were to show off to your techie friends or to thumb your nose at Microsoft. Neither seemed to be a good reason for most people. The real problem is that all the application software you would want is on Windows.
Times, as they say, are changing. At ABA's TECHSHOW this spring, I had the opportunity to observe Linux in action on the desktop. Corel has put together an interesting package that includes Linux bundled with the WordPerfect Office Suite for Linux. When I heard about it I was intrigued, because I use WordPerfect for word processing. When I saw it in action at TECHSHOW, I was impressed.
I asked Corel to send me a copy; I had to try it at home. I took an older Pentium machine with two hard drives on it. I formatted the primary drive for Windows and got that up and running. Then I let Corel do its magic on the second drive. Somehow Corel Linux got up and running on the second drive and allowed me to dual boot the machine (that is, select either Windows or Linux at start-up).
The machine runs just fine. Each OS is happily ignorant of the other when running. I can use the latest version of WordPerfect for Linux, if Linux is loaded, or the latest version of WordPerfect for Windows, if Windows is loaded. Each version runs nicely and gets the job done.
Now we have at least one package that will install the Linux OS and a Linux office suite on a computer system. There are others besides Corel that claim to do the same thing. Caldera (www.caldera.com) comes to mind. Caldera's version of Linux comes with StarOffice, a suite of standard office applications developed by Sun (www. sun.com/staroffice).
One problem remains, however. We still may not be able to run other software that we need. I know of no legal research software written for Linux.
Enter Wine (www.winehq.org). Wine is a recursive acronym (sound familiar?) for Wine Is Not an Emulator. What Wine does, theoretically at least, is allow various flavors of UNIX, including Linux, to run programs written for Windows.
That would be just the ticket, of course. Then we could use Linux as our OS and run our favorite Windows programs. Unfortunately, even the Wine developers admit that it's not quite ready for prime time. Wine is still under development and is not suitable for general use. Nevertheless, many people find it useful in running a variety of Windows programs.
I was dubious when I first heard about this. It sounded too good to be true. Nevertheless, it seems to be the real deal, although like voice recognition software it may always appear tantalizingly close but essentially impractical.Bottom Line
I would recommend Linux as a network OS for anyone with more than a few computers to network. I like its stability, flexibility, security, and cost. I also like the fact that it runs reasonably well on old 486s. Moreover, I trust Linux developers more than I trust Microsoft. The former seem to have interests in line with my own; the latter does not.
I am somewhat more reserved in my enthusiasm for Linux as a desktop OS. To run Linux in a graphical environment, you need a reasonably powerful Pentium computer. If you need only an office suite, a number of companies can supply you with one that will run well under Linux. In addition, Netscape provides a nice browser for Linux.
If you're lucky, Wine might allow you to run other Windows programs under Linux. I wouldn't count on it, however, certainly not in the near future. If you need other Windows programs, stick with Windows. If you can get by with an office suite and Internet tools, you may be a good candidate for Linux. Finally, if you're enough of a geek, you can join a Linux user group. For example, New Hampshire has an umbrella group (www.gnhlug.org) and three or four local chapters.Peter C. Scott is a partner in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, firm of Mulhern & Scott. He currently is on leave, pursuing a master's degree in computer science at the University of New Hampshire.

...I think of all the Stampotique stamps I own, this is my fave little fella... he is called Heart Throb and here he is today with his little pet Kitty. A couple of weeks ago I did a mini canvas using Claudine's gorgeous paints and I enjoyed it sooo much that I decided to make a bigger one - this is 5" square and is a deep edged one (IMO, the best ones to work with) and I have teamed up Claudine's gorgeous colours mixed together to make more gorgeous colours - they are perfect because you can mix them and you don't get seven shades of doo-doo!
So... the canvas was pre-gesso'd so I went right in with a big old paint brush and slapped a layer of Dab of Yellow all over it and gave it a zap with my heat tool... I am always a bit careful when drying paint because it bubbles when it gets too hot... so I just waffed the heat tool over the top of the canvas til the paint was done. I used a spatula to apply the next few layers... starting off by mixing a 50p size of Dab of Yellow with a 5p size of Dash of Red... this makes the most delish bright orange... but did you know... if you mix Pastel Yellow with Modern Red you get a totally different shade of orange? That is just how cool these paints are! Building the layers of scraped on paint is easy... just dry the layer in between applications... on the canvas, in order are: Dab of Yellow base, orange (mixed as mentioned), Altered Orange and Dash of Red. On top of all of those layers I added smidges of Gesso - I was a bit heavy handed in one patch of it so I just went in with a baby wipe and smudged some of it off... simples :O))
I used the diamond background Dylusions stamp (my favest already!) and stamped in Charcoal Black... once this had dried I used a Pitch Black Dabber to add edges to the canvas and then used bottle tops to add black and white circles... and the edge of a Ranger scraper to add a couple of lines. Heart Throb and Kitty are stamped onto copy paper and coloured with Distress Stains... and the sentiment is done the same way - edging around all the images with an "All" Stabilo pen and then smudging these edges with a waterbrush. A few months ago Kate Crane had a gorgeous canvas piece in Craft Stamper... her project gave me the idea to combine Stampotique with painty techniques... I have to say, anything painty/journally etc that I make is usually inspired by Kate... she really is a classy lass... check out her BLOG... totes amaze-balls :O))
Right then, I had better get a move on... I am working on some more class samples today and am champing at the bit to get to the desk (still neat and tidy BTW) Oh but, before I go... I got asked a couple fo Q's yesterday: First one... NO Kathy, I am not making the kitchen and inky tip and leaving the Room of Stash tidy... cheek of it eh? ROFL And secondly... Alison Horne asked where I got the Optical Lenses from... ahah, that would be from eBay (US) and I got a bundle of them (can't remember how much they were) Ok, am offski... have a good day and as ever, thanks for looking... TTFN!

Lodging, office buildings lead commercial building sector
Reed Construction Data's U.S. chief economist Bernard Markstein answers one-on-one questions about the commercial building construction forecast.
Bernard Markstein, U.S. chief economist at Reed Construction Data, Norcross,
Ga., shares economic and construction insights with consulting engineers and business development directors.
CSE: With regard to the Reed Construction Data December Expansion Index, define the portions of the commercial building sector that will grow in the next 12 to 18 months.
Markstein: The Reed Construction Data Expansion Index is not broken down by categories. However, I do use the Reed starts data that are used to generate the Expansion Index, along with other data, to formulate a forecast of many of these areas. Based on this forecast for the next 12 to 18 months:
- Lodging will continue to be a strong area for both renovation and new construction, with more emphasis on the latter.
- Office construction will finally gain some traction; there will be more renovation to reduce energy costs, reduce water usage, improve air
quality, and to allow more high technology in buildings; new buildings will focus on the same issues.
- As residential construction expands, so will demand for retail construction—malls and strip malls; the big box store (except for places like Walmart and Costco) is largely dead, boutique stores and stores to meet daily needs (e.g., grocery stores) and personal services (e.g., hair care, restaurants) will be the order of the day.
- Construction of health care facilities will slowly ramp up, but begin to pick up speed in the second half of the year and into 2015; suburban satellite operations will tend to dominate.
- Virtually all the action for education construction will be for private facilities, largely for colleges and universities; little will occur on the public side for well over a year.
- Multifamily construction will continue to grow, but at a slower rate; large projects will have retail space built into them, and in some cases, office space as well.
CSE: Which portion of the nonresidential building market will see the largest jump in the next 12 to 18 months? What building types?
Markstein: Lodging will once more lead the way with retail and office construction vying for second place.
CSE: Looking farther ahead (2 to 5 years), in what types of buildings can mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineers expect to find morework?
Markstein: Health care, followed by education, will finally come into their own and move to the front for new construction.
CSE: With regard to the existing building market, what does the retrofit/renovation market look like in the next 12 to 18 months? How does this compare to the new construction market?
Markstein: As noted above, the retrofit/renovation market will continue to do to figure out how to repurpose empty big box stores. When public education construction picks up, the initial emphasis will be on retrofit/renovation. Overall, though, the emphasis will be shifting to new construction.well. That will especially be true for office space and for retail space as areas try
CSE: Do you expect the market for new hospital buildings to grow in the next 12 to 18 months? What about stand-alone medical clinics or specialty buildings? How has the Affordable Care Act affected this?
Markstein: Yes and yes as noted above. The Affordable Care Act plays a key role in this as all areas of health care deal with both an influx of new patients due to greater insurance coverage and a change in the mix of demand for medical services.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

The IUCN Mediterranean Red List programme is pleased to announce a new regional section on the IUCN Red List website, which highlights the outcomes of the Mediterranean Red List initiative. An ongoing process that aims at assessing more than 2000 Mediterranean species according to the IUCN Regional Red Listing Guidelines, the initiative provides information on the conservation status of the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean region, an area considered as a global biodiversity hotspot at both terrestrial and marine levels.
Throughout 2010 we will be celebrating biological diversity – the variety of life on earth – and boosting awareness of how important it is for our lives. Most people appreciate the beauty of the natural world, but awareness of biodiversity, how seriously it is threatened, and the implications for human wellbeing, is alarmingly low. From time immemorial, nature has fed us, cured us, and protected us. But today the roles have switched. We need to feed nature, we need to cure it and protect it if we want to secure a healthy and prosperous future for our children. The purpose of this Mediterranean initiative is to help the identification of those species threatened with extinction at the Mediterranean level, to encourage appropriate regional and local conservation actions and improve the biodiversity status.
The Mediterranean taxonomic groups assessed to date include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, endemic freshwater fishes, cartilaginous marine fishes, and dragonflies. On-going assessments include marine fish, freshwater molluscs, and aquatic plants. In addition, the status of the cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea is being reviewed and will shortly be published.
The Mediterranean Red List programme, led by the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, receives the support of the MAVA Foundation, the TOTAL Foundation, the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID), the European Commission, and the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea. The work developed links with the IUCN Species Programme Units in Gland, Washington and Cambridge as part of the global Red Listing initiative.

It's said God works in mysterious ways. For Susan Crockett, a woman of great faith, he was working through a pair of shoes as a plane plummeted toward her house in Palm Coast.
PALM COAST -- It's said God works in mysterious ways. For Susan Crockett, a woman of great faith, he was working through a pair of shoes as a plane plummeted toward her house in Palm Coast.
In an interview Friday, Crockett recounted the moments before a small plane laden with fuel punched a ragged hole through the roof of her house. As the plane fell out of the sky, Crockett was in a bedroom on the phone talking to one of her three daughters.
"I was actually leaving the bedroom and as I was on the phone with my daughter Jasmine and walking out the door . . . the Holy Spirit said, you know, 'Stop, look at these shoes' " Crockett said. "And there were a pair of shoes, you know, just there on the floor . . . I looked at the shoes and I'm like 'Yeah, OK, whatever' and I headed to the door again and it was like 'No, look at the shoes.' And when I looked again, the plane just hit, nose-dived. It was like, boom! I mean, the loudest explosion that I have ever heard in my entire life."
Suddenly facing fire and destruction, Crockett escaped out a back window. She injured her knee climbing out the window, but the scab remains as the only physical injury from the terrifying crash on Jan. 4 that killed the three people aboard the plane.
Crockett's nerves are another matter. Loud or unexpected noises -- an elevator bell or something falling to the floor -- can set her on edge.
"Loud noises. I was in the store and somebody dropped something, I almost jumped out of my skin, like, just a little nervous," she said. "Everybody keeps telling me that will fade away . . . just a little jumpy," Crockett said. "On the elevator, it binged when it got to the third floor and I was, like, ready to go out the door."
Crockett recounted the crash during an at-times tearful interview Friday in the office of her attorney, Marc Dwyer of Chiumento Selis Dwyer in Palm Coast.
Crockett, 50, said she doesn't know whether she wants to rebuild her home at 22 Utica Path in Palm Coast.
"At this point, I'm just very nervous and scared," Crockett said. "I was over there yesterday and a plane flew by and I almost hit the deck. Just very jumpy. Never was before, you know. It was normal to hear the planes go by. Now, I'm not quite sure if I would want to move back there."
Crockett is living in a hotel for now.
"Without using the term 'homeless,' that's literally what we have here," Dwyer said.
It will take months, if not much longer, before things can return to normal for Susan Crockett and "there are going to be some rough roads ahead," Dwyer said.
While the house was insured, there are still numerous questions about coverage, Dwyer said.
"Anytime you are dealing with insurance companies and it comes time for them to pay monies, there's always numerous questions," Dwyer said. "There's always the fine print."
Dwyer, as did Crockett, thanked the community for their support and prayers.
"And, obviously, as a person of faith, I want to ask everyone to pray for those that lost their lives as well, because again it is a tragedy," Dwyer said. "It doesn't just affect this community."
Killed in the crash were the pilot, Michael Anders, a high school teacher from Albany, Ky., who had turned 58 on the day of the crash; and two passengers, one of Anders' neighbors, Duane Shaw, 59, and Shaw's fianc�e, Charissee Peoples, 42, of Indianapolis.
Crockett lost nearly everything to the plane's blunt force, the fire and the water — clothing, family pictures, the dress she was going to wear on Jan. 26 to the wedding of her oldest daughter, 27-year-old Jasmine. Only a few things from the garage were salvageable.
"We tried to get some of the clothing but, uh, there's just, there's just, everything is gone. There's nothing. Everything is gone."
Crockett's eyes reddened and tears formed as she thought about pictures of her parents and siblings, a family of seven siblings in all. Only she and her brother remain, she said.
"I did get a picture that was in the garage. One of my sisters and her family. I was able to recover that. But a lot of pictures, things that can never be replaced ... " she said as her voice trailed off.
When the plane hit, Crockett reacted quickly.
"From then it was, like, just reaction," Crockett said. "I went to the window, opened the window. There was a ring of fire back there. So I went back to the door. Open the door and that's when the smoke came in, the flames were coming, you know, toward me. I slammed the door. Went back to the window and I just went through the screen. And just got out. It was, like, automatic. Move, move, move, just get out, just get out and that's it."
The tragedy has united the family, which also includes daughters Jocelyn, 18, and Jessica, 20. Jessica Crockett, who held her mother's arm during Friday's interview and held it tighter when her mother eye's welled with tears, attested to that.
"I think it's definitely brought us closer together," said Jessica Crockett. "When you come that close to losing a loved one, you want to hold on as tight as possible. You know what you could be doing and what could be going on right now and the fact that you've been almost given a second chance.
"You don't want to take that for granted," she said. "You don't want to take anything like that for granted. So I believed we've always been close. We've always been a close-knit family, but now we are definitely closer."
The Sunday after the crash, Jan. 6, Susan Crockett was at her church, Mount Calvary Baptist Church of Palm Coast. Susan Crockett is director of the youth ministry, teaches a preschool Sunday class and is a member of all the choirs, said Carol Coffie, the first lady of the church. Everyone was worried about her, Coffie said.
"She came ready to render service as she normally does," Coffie said.
Susan Crockett has been so shaken up that she has yet to return to her job at the Redlands Christian Migrant Association, a statewide organization that manages Head Start programs.
She expressed gratitude to all who have helped.
"I d like to thank everyone that has helped so far," she said. "The churches really rallied. All I had was the clothes on my back. ... I didn't have to worry about that. They came with pajamas, change of clothes, undergarments, I mean everything that you could possibly think that you would need."
How to help
The Susan Crockett Relief Trust Fund has been set up to help Susan Crockett at Intracoastal Bank, 1290 Palm Coast Parkway N.W., 32137, 386-447-1662.
