Do You Own the Rights to Works Created by Your Workers?
I'm guessing many of you would answer this question with a resounding "yes", but there is a good chance that you're mistaken. Here, "works" refers to intellectual property, including works of authorship or creation that may be protected by copyright, trade secret or patent law. This is particularly important for photographers or videographers who use second shooters at weddings and events, as well as blogs or magazines that use freelance writers and editors to generate content, or graphic design firms and stationery companies with multiple designers working for the company.
The determination of ownership of intellectual property starts with an analysis of what kind of worker you've hired, be it a true employee vs. an independent contractor vs. an unpaid intern. If you're unclear on the differences, check out this post on independent contractors and this post on interns. For the purposes of this analysis, if you have a paid intern, they could be either a true employee or an independent contractor depending on how you classify them for tax purposes. I know most small businesses seek to classify workers as independent contractors (or unpaid interns), and while my previous posts explain how difficult it is to meet the legal requirements, I certainly understand the draws of each. While hiring a true employee entails a larger commitment, extra administrative work and a greater financial investment, it also confers certain rights on you with respect to controlling how, when and where the work is done by the employee, as well as with respect to the ownership of the fruits of that employee's labor. If you ask your employee to write a blog post for you, or shoot photographs or video footage for you, or design a logo for your company, you may own those works as "works for hire" created by the employee for your benefit and ownership if the works were part of the scope of the normal employment of the employee. If the works were outside of the scope of the normal employment of the employee, you would need a written agreement specifying that ownership of all intellectual property created by the employee during the course of employment is transferred to you as the employer.
If you have determined that your workers meet the stringent requirements of the independent contractor or unpaid intern relationship (or you've decided to just risk it and hope that your state and/or the IRS don't bust you), chances are that you do not own any works created by your independent contractors or unpaid interns absent a specific written agreement. There is a common misconception that you automatically own the works when you pay an independent contractor for the work, or that you can enter into a contract with your independent contractors or interns stating that anything they create while working for you is owned by you. To the contrary, very specific contract language is needed to establish your ownership. In some states, you can use "work for hire" language in an independent contractor agreement, but this may potentially put your classification of the worker at risk since the concept of "works for hire" grew out of the traditional employer-employee relationship. This is especially true in California, where the law specifically prohibits using "work for hire" language in an independent contractor agreement, stating that a "work for hire" only arises out of a true employer-employee relationship. In California, this improper use of the "work for hire" language can actually cause that worker's classification to be converted to a true employee, subjecting you to back pay, overtime, mandatory workers' compensation insurance and penalties for misclassification of the worker. In California it is imperative that you have a written contract with your independent contractors and unpaid interns which states that the workers explicitly agree to transfer their intellectual property ownership rights to you. Since all contracts need consideration in order to be valid (i.e. an exchange of money or other promises; check out this post on contract basics for more info), this agreement to transfer ownership must either be contained in an independent contractor agreement that explains the services to be provided by the independent contractor, and the fees to be paid for those services and the transfer of intellectual property ownership, or if the transfer is contained in a separate contract signed after the initial independent contractor agreement, it must be supported by new, additional consideration (generally money). Since your written agreement with the unpaid intern would be supported by somewhat flimsy consideration (probably a promise to provide them with valuable education and experience in lieu of money), it is a very good idea to have the unpaid intern sign a separate transfer of ownership agreement for any intellectual property that they create while working for you, which is then supported by separate monetary consideration.
While your state may not explicitly prohibit the use of "work for hire" language for independent contractors and unpaid interns, federal copyright law uses the traditional employer-employee relationship in connection with the work for hire doctrine, and to be safe it is advisable for all businesses to use a specific transfer agreement for intellectual property ownership to ensure that ownership of those works vests in the company rather than the worker.

Logitech To Bundle Laser Mouse With KeyBoard
Did you know that optical is different from laser? Anyways, Logitech is looking to pair up their laser mouse with a keyboard for a cordless mouse-keyboard bundle. The relatively new laser tracking technology is the result of an alliance between Logitech, the world's No. 1 manufacturer of mice, and Agilent Technologies, the leader in mouse tracking technology. The nearly singular wavelength of a laser's light is capable of revealing much greater surface detail than the red LED found in optical mice, in fact 20 times more detail. As a result, the laser can track reliably even on tricky polished or wood-grain surfaces. The mouse and keyboard package will be available in Europe around March, and here in the US by April, retailing for $149.

Aurora-Sim is the next generation of the OpenSimulator Project. It allows you to run a large scale operation and extend it as needed, while still having many features available for your use. The architecture is designed to be as flexible as possible so that third parties can create modules by plugging into the modular design. It is cross-platform compatible by using the .NET framework and Mono. Most importantly, it is a community based project consisting of individuals with a variety of talents (technical and non-technical) and has been developed with an emphasis on security, speed, and performance.
TXR is a new data munging language. TXR's special pattern language provides template-based matching of entire documents or large sections of documents. It also contains a language for functional and imperative programming. It is written in C and takes the form of a utility that is portable to Unix-like platforms and Windows.
Nuttx is a real-time embedded operating system (RTOS). It has a small footprint that is usable in micro-controller environments. It is fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit) systems. It also aims to be fully compliant to standards, to be fully real time, and to be totally open.
NXWidgets is a graphical user interface package for the NuttX RTOS. It integrates seamlessly with the NuttX NX graphics subsystem in order to provide graphic objects, or "widgets". It is written entirely in C++ using only selected "embedded friendly" C++ constructs which are fully supported under NuttX. No additional C++ support libraries are required. It is tailored for use with MCUs in embedded applications. It is ideally suited for the mid-to-upper range of most MCU families. It will work on high-end frame buffer devices as well as on LCDs connected via serial or parallel ports to a small MCU. It will accept position and selection inputs from a mouse or a touchscreen. It will also support character input from a keyboard such as a USB keyboard. It supports a special widget called CKeypad which provides keyboard input via an on-screen keypad which can be operated via a mouse or touchscreen inputs. Some of the graphic objects supported by NXWidgets include labels, buttons, text boxes, button arrays, check boxes, cycle buttons, images, sliders, scrollable list boxes, and progress bars.
Pyrseas provides a framework and utilities to upgrade and maintain a relational database. It currently includes the dbtoyaml utility to create a YAML description of a PostgreSQL database's tables, and the yamltodb utility to generate SQL statements to modify a database to match an input YAML specification. It also aims to develop data administration tools to supplement an agile database development process.
The klish is a framework for implementing Cisco-like command-line interfaces on Unix systems. It is configurable through XML files. "Klish" stands for "Kommand Line Interface SHell". The klish is a fork of clish-0.7.3. The original clish was developed by Graeme McKerrell. The klish adds some new features, but is compatible (as much as possible) with clish's XML configuration files.
Python bsddb3 is a Python module that provides a nearly complete wrapping of the Oracle/Sleepycat C API for the database environment, database, cursor, sequence, and transaction objects, and each of these is exposed as a Python type in the bsddb3.db module. The database objects can use various access methods: btree, hash, recno, and queue. It has complete support for Berkeley DB distributed transactions, and complete support for the Berkeley DB Replication Manager and base replication API. The goal is to mirror most of the real Berkeley DB API.
Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently. Theano features tight integration with numpy, transparent use of a GPU, efficient symbolic differentiation, speed and stability optimizations, dynamic C code generation, and extensive unit-testing and self-verification. Theano has been powering large-scale computationally intensive scientific investigations since 2007. But it is also approachable enough to be used in the classroom (IFT6266 at the University of Montreal).
V6 Thompson Shell Port provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX (circa 1975). osh is an enhanced port of the shell, and sh6 is an unenhanced port of the shell. This project also includes glob6, if, goto, and fd2 as external shell utilities. While they remain external for compatible use by sh6, these utilities are integrated into osh to improve shell performance.

Updated my rig with i5 3470 + H77-D3H and corsair vengeance 1600MHz LP Blue edition , but there is weird "Cold boot Loop" problem that i can't really figure out.. Run Prime95 Blender Test for about 1 hour and no errors, also run OCCT with one of the ram's for more then 7 hours without a problem , and it seems that after Windows is loaded everything seems to work OK .. :shadedshu
No, it's in desparate need of a flush. Second time that's happened. Gonna have to douche it out again
What makes it such an appealing thirst-quenching mixture then? I mean, how does such colour and foam appear? And what colour was it supposed to be?
It's plain distilled water and was clear, then gradually got a little cloudy. One weekend it was pretty warm and I left the rig on all weekend, and it got even warmer in that room. Afterwards I noticed the water was brown. Did I burn it? lol
It's either tons and tons of bacteria, or some chemical reaction in your loop. You're not mixing alu and copper blocks right?
No mixing going on. I'm wondering if it's a reaction to the Biocide I put in the loop before or something the previous owner used. I should get a silver coil one of these days...
OK, I'll just offer this here. Distilled water, alone, is a bad coolant. Water can readily accept free ions, whether soluable or not, and moving water generates an electric charge. This means that distilled water will quite often pick up ANYTHING that might be in a loop...coolant additives that have coated the inside of a rad, precipitated there due to cooling effects, or anything else of that sort. What we need is something to fill the water to the saturation point, some additive, which will not affect cooling properties. Glycol seems to be a common choice, and I'm pretty sure Glycol isn't good for algae, either. IF hte water was saturated, it woudl notbe able to pick up contaminates. Mind you, you jsut cleaned your loop out, too. If I was you, I'd swap out coolant, put in fresh water, run for a coupel fo days, then drain agian. repeat if needed. Thoughts on that?
Kinda lost me there for a moment. So distilled is not good by itself. What would you say is good and still clear that will not contaminate, colorize tubing/res and just overall a good choice? I'm looking to go water very soon and I already have a gal of distilled water lol.
Dexcool works damn good. I have had the same coolant in the loop for about a year now. No color change and I have drained it a couple of times to check the block/pumps. Refilled the same coolant without an issue.
Hmm, checking it out. Not many people relate what I jsut did..in fact, most wil ljstu say that distilled water is just fine...but I disagree. It's basic Chemistry, FFS. Isn't it?
Most people prefer to run the standard "green" vehicle coolant. It is a basic glycol based antifreeze. I use Dexcool for the color I liked the orange it is still glycol based and nothing grows in it. The stuff is rated for 100K miles in a car. That works out to a long time in a PC AFAIC. The stuff is a little thicker hence my dual pump set up, but Dexcool is thinner than the green stuff. I am looking into running the red motocraft for my HTPC. Very similar to dexcool. This is my 25% Dexcool loop CPU@4ghz 1.55v Room temp is 74F CPU is 32C after 2 hours of crysis OPT3 is loop temp post CPU pre rads.
I use distilled water with a silver coil. Noticed it getting a little murky once, but nothing like the contents of the above reservoir. And I flush it at least twice a year. Not a great deal of experience here though. I heard a lot of bad stuff about additives corroding and dyed fluids staining that I decided to go with clear distilled water. Besides, it's a heck of a lot cheaper.
I've heard mixed things on pt nuke so i decided not use that. I have heard of the car antifreeze mixed with distilled water. Any type of water is not good as it'll rust the inside of the rad.
distilled water on it's own is ok but it also needs to be demineralized aswell so that it is nothing but pure H2O also something to stop any bacteria growing and make the water loaded so it can not pick up anything else from the loop is also a good idea an 25/75 mix of anti freeze/boil or an premix if your not wanting to mix it yourself , should get you demineralized/distilled water and glycol
I've used distilled water + automotive anti-freeze (25% mix), plain distilled water, and distilled water + PT nuke (the biocide I mentioned before). I understand that an additive can increase the effectiveness of the coolant and provide a few other features like fungi/algea/etc prevention, but with kids and pets around I like the distilled water the best. I don't have to worry about having the other stuff around or keeping anyone out of it if there is a leak. I'd have to look back at my log to see the last time I swapped the water out, but it's been a while. It's probably due for a flushing anyway. I'd really like to pop the CPU block open and clean it out, but one of the screws that holds the base on is stripped in the tools side (not the threads) and I can't take it out unless I have a replacement for it. DAve you been drinking? Seems to be some issues with your typing skillz... Again, see my issues with this above. I agree on the dyes being bad but I have not heard much about other additives, other than residual traces left behind. I too would like to go the route of a coil, as I think it's the safest way and should not cause any corrosion due to mixed metals. I never had the water turn brown until I used this. I'm not confident I got all of it flushed out, and I admit I may have used more than I should have. Not really clear on the directions. Have you had experience with this too, or is this just in response to my situation?

Tom Cruise, left, is Jack Reacher and Robert Duvall is Cash in "Jack Reacher." (Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions Photo / December 20, 2012) |
The Guilt Trip
In "The Guilt Trip," which features Barbra Streisand's first starring performance in more than 15 years, the definitive diva plays a lighthearted version of a stereotypical Jewish mother, eating candy in bed and endlessly doting on her only son, played by Seth Rogen.
He is an aspiring inventor who has lined up a series of meetings across the country to try to sell his nontoxic household cleaner to box stores and other major retailers. Circumstance and a little affectionate subterfuge on his part lead him to invite her along.
"The Guilt Trip" has little basis in reality — cultural, familial or otherwise. There is something promising about the match-up of an old-school show-biz kid such as Streisand with the modern, anxiously self-aware Rogen, but what could have been the multigenerational Thunderdome of Jewish Humor instead turns out bloodlessly disappointing.
It's hard to believe that Streisand came back to a leading role after supporting parts in the last two "Fockers" movies so that she could participate in an agonizingly long and unfunny scene in which her character powers through a 50-ounce steak dinner so she can get it for free. (Because, you know, she loves a bargain, etc.) A late story twist exists only to give Streisand a chance to go momentarily self-serious and verklempt.
One could perhaps charitably remark that Streisand has a naturally at-ease screen presence at this point in her storied career (she's 70), yet the reality of her performance seems to be that she barely showed up. Say what you will about her mugging turns in 1970s comedies such as "The Owl and the Pussycat" and "What's Up, Doc?" — at least she was making an effort. This leaves Rogen straining harder than Anne Hathaway hosting the Oscars to keep things afloat; notably, Rogen's biggest laughs come in moments without Streisand. Other capable talents such as Casey Wilson, Adam Scott and Ari Graynor have barely five minutes of screen time between them, unable to offer real support.
Directed by Anne Fletcher, "The Guilt Trip" not only feels fake but looks it too, sets appearing unabashedly as sets. One of the few points of interest in the film is trying to decide which car scenes were done with a towing rig and which were green-screen process shots. Just as one would on a long car ride, during "The Guilt Trip," you look for excitement where you can. (PG-13, 95 minutes)
— Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Monsters, Inc.
"Monsters, Inc." may have lost the best animated film Oscar to "Shrek." But ask any parent which film is aging better, and which DVD their children wear out, and the real winner emerges. Reason enough for a prequel, "Monsters, University," to go into production. It comes out next June.
And that's a good excuse for converting the computer-animated "Monsters, Inc." to 3-D for a special holiday release. In 3-D. (G, 92 minutes)
— Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune
Jack Reacher
You know those people who believe everything they say is super-clever, super-funny, just priceless?
The Jack Reacher played by Tom Cruise in "Jack Reacher" is one of those guys.
"You think?" a woman says, responding to one of his sage observations.
"All the time," Reacher replies. "You should try it."
Whoa, what a put-down! This dude would kill in the seventh grade.
Speaking of killing, "Jack Reacher"— adapted from "One Shot," one of the Lee Child novels starring the ex-Army hotshot investigator — is what brings Reacher to Pittsburgh: A sniper has taken down five strangers walking along the riverfront on a sunny day, and although the shooter's aim is deadly and his demeanor deathly calm, the evidence he leaves behind is a homicide investigator's dream. Practically before the opening credits are over, James Mark Barr (Joseph Sikora) has been arrested and charged with the crime.
But instead of signing the confession pushed in front of him in the interrogation room, Barr scrawls "Get Jack Reacher" on the page. And somehow, Reacher, who has been off the grid for two years (he travels by bus, pays in cash, doesn't carry a change of clothes), answers the call.
I can't pretend to know what drew Cruise — who, after all, is Ethan Hunt in the thriving "Mission: Impossible franchise — to play this charmless, unironic macho hero. Reacher does get to punch swarms of punks and rev a muscle car over the Steel City hills, and he gets Rosamund Pike to look at him like she's going to swoon. Maybe that's enough.
Rosamund Pike is Helen Rodin, the defense attorney picked to represent Barr. Her dad (Richard Jenkins) happens to be the city's District Attorney, working with Detective Emerson (David Oyelowo, from "The Paperboy") to send Barr to jail for the rest of his life.
But Reacher thinks it's too perfect a case. When he starts being followed and threatened, seduced in a bar booth and clunked on the head in a bathtub, he's even more certain. He's nobody's fool, this Reacher.
Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for his wickedly smart "The Usual Suspects" screenplay (and who scripted the Nazi Cruise thriller, "Valkyrie"), "Jack Reacher pushes its formula plot toward a big nighttime shootout in an excavation site. The violence is plenty, and pointless. Robert Duvall shows up as an ornery rifleman who gives Reacher cover as he moves in to deal with the bad guys, and ace documentarian Werner Herzog, in a rare turn as a Hollywood villain, is a one-eyed coot who chewed his fingers off rather than lose them to frostbite.
At least that's what he says, trying to impress anyone who will listen with his alarming evilness. And his alarming accent. (PG-13, 130 minutes)
— Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

April Love
April Love is a musicalized remake of 1944's Home in Indiana. Pat Boone stars as a potential juvenile delinquent who is sent to work on a Kentucky farm. When he meets apple-cheeked local girl Shirley Jones, Boone decides that mending his ways might be an option. Before long, he is devoting himself to the task of training a horse to become a winning trotter. Nominated for an Academy Award, the film's title song proved to be one of Pat Boone's most durable hits. April Love benefits from its actual Lexington, Kentucky locations, lovingly photographed in CinemaScope and Deluxe Color by Wilfred Cline. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jeanne Eagels
Kim Novak is clearly out of her depth as legendary Broadway actress Jeanne Eagels, but one can't fault her for trying very hard. As this filmed biography gets under way, wide-eyed Eagels finds herself stranded in a tank town by a smooth-talking traveling salesman. Carnival operator Sal Satori hires Eagels as a kootch dancer, but her ambition is to become a serious dramatic actress. When she and Sal reach New York, she signs up for acting lessons under the tutelage of a Mme. Neilson (Agnes Moorehead). Before long, Jeanne is understudying on Broadway, and in 1922 she takes audiences and critics by storm with her unforgettable portrayal of Sadie Thompson in Rain, a role she landed by ruthlessly double-crossing the actress originally slated for the part (Virginia Grey). When her rival commits suicide, the chastened Jeanne turns to booze and drugs to assuage her conscience. The real-life Jeanne Eagels died of narcotics addiction in 1929, a fact that the Hollywood version skims over. Eagels' family sued Columbia Pictures over the "distortions" offered in Jeanne Eagels. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent
By the time you've read the title, the film is half over. Anyway, the story concerns a group of proud female Nordic warriors (who look more like UCLA cheerleaders), who set out on a perilous sea journey, the better to locate their long-missing men. Halfway across the ocean, their vessel is destroyed by a deadly vortex (this special effect must be seen to be believed). The ladies are washed up on the shores of the Grimaults, a spear-wielding tribe which had previously enslaved the girls' menfolk. One attempted human sacrifice and several minor clashes later, the viking men and women try to make their escape. When the head viking (Brad Jackson) slays a rampaging monster (actually a harmless lizard, "blown up" by trick photography), he and his party are given safe passage by the grateful Grimaults. Abby Dalton is the star of Viking Women and the Sea Serpent, but only by default; when the film's original leading lady fell ill, all the other actresses were promoted to the next largest role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Search for Bridey Murphy
The Search for Bridey Murphy was inspired by the purportedly true story of a Colorado housewife named Virginia Tighe, who while under hypnosis insisted that she'd lived a previous life as an 18th century Irish housemaid named Bridey Murphy. The hypnosis sessions were conducted under the supervision of Dr. Morey Bernstein, who later wrote a book on the subject. This hastily assembled filmization of Dr. Bernstein's book stars Teresa Wright as Ruth Simmons (Ms. Tighe's pseudonym) and Louis Hayward as Bernstein. Except for the "astral world" sequences, Search for Bridey Murphy adopts a semi-documentary approach, often to the point of tedium. Bridey Murphy herself is portrayed at various ages by Teresa Wright, Ruth Robinson, Denise Freeborn and Hallene Hill. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Taza, Son of Cochise
In this unusual Western directed by Douglas Sirk, Rock Hudson stars as Taza, whose legendary father Cochise (Jeff Chandler) is on his deathbed. Taza promises his father that he will keep the tribe -- which Cochise united and ruled -- at peace. But Taza's brother wants the tribe to join with another bloodthirsty tribe, headed by Geronimo (Ian MacDonald), which is tangling with white settlers and other Indian tribes. Taza must battle his brother and try to keep his promise to his father. This film was originally shown in 3-D, and many of the battle scenes feature shots of warriors rushing headlong toward the screen. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

It Came from Outer Space

Add It Came from Outer Space to top of Queue
It Came From Outer Space is one of a handful of science fiction films from the 1950s that plays as well today as it did on its original release, this despite the fact that its original 3-D elements seem to be lost. It was also the first science fiction effort of director Jack Arnold, and one of three excellent 3-D features that he made (the others were Creature From the Black Lagoon and Revenge of the Creature) during that format's short-lived history. It was also, along with The Incredible Shrinking Man, one of the two most sophisticated films he ever made in that genre. Additionally, it was Arnold's first opportunity to use the desert setting that seemed to inspire him in some of his best subsequent movies. Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, the movie starts off in a gentle, lyrical mode, almost reminiscent of Our Town, as the narrator introduces the tiny Arizona town where the action will take place. Writer John Putnam (Richard Carlson), a new arrival to the town and an amateur astronomer, is looking at the skies with his fiancée, schoolteacher Ellen Fields (Barbara Rush), when they see what looks like a huge meteor crash into the desert. Putnam and Ellen go to the site of the crash and find a huge crater. When he goes down inside, Putnam sees what is very obviously some kind of vehicle or device embedded in the ground, but before he can show it to anyone, a rock slide buries what he saw. He reports that a spacecraft of some kind is buried there and is duly ridiculed by the local press and some of his own colleagues in the astronomical community, and even Ellen has her doubts. The local sheriff, Matt Warren (Charles Drake), is downright hostile because he believes that Putnam is not only an interloper, but has also taken Ellen away from him. Putnam is at a loss as to what to do, and doing something -- or, perhaps, not doing anything -- becomes a critical matter when various townspeople start to disappear, including Ellen, to be replaced by alien "duplicates." A small but significant part of this action is told from the standpoint of the aliens, who are only glimpsed in brief flashes as they move through the desert and the underground caves where they are hiding. Putnam ultimately comes to understand that the aliens are actually benign and only need time to repair their ship and leave; but by then, the sheriff and the rest of the town have started taking his original warning seriously and their intervention threatens the lives of everyone. Reason and a peaceful approach prevail, but only just barely, and the space travelers are allowed to go on their way -- in return, they restore the real townspeople. The movie ends on a hopeful note as Putnam predicts that someday, when we're ready here on Earth, the visitors will be back to make formal, peaceful introductions. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

War Arrow is another of Universal's efficiently produced A plus/B minus Technicolor westerns of the early 1950s. Maureen O'Hara and Jeff Chandler star as, respectively, army major Howell Brady and his former sweetheart Elaine Corwin. As Elaine awaits anxiously on the sidelines, Major Brady trains a group of Seminole Indians to aid the army in quelling an impending Kiowa uprising. Commanding officer Col. Meade, a man with a deep abiding hatred for all Indians, thinks that Brady is crazy to trust the Seminoles. Well, he might be, but it's best to wait until the climactic battle scene to decide whether or not Brady knows what he's doing. The ever-reliable Henry Brandon is a tower of strength as Maygro, the Seminole chief whose daughter Avis (Suzan Ball) falls in love with Brady. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Here's a glorious version, sung by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge:
Another lovely rendition of this hymn can be found on "Advent at Ephesus", released last month by the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. If you haven't heard this album yet, you really should; it is meditative, stirring, at times haunting—perfect Advent listening that doesn't jump the gun on any Christmas hymns.

Ulteo declares a desktop revolution
The top-secret Ulteo project aims for the goal of the world's easiest Linux.
Several Linux systems have debuted over the last few years with the promise of making Linux easier for the ordinary user. The latest of these desktop debutantes is a mysterious Linux known as Ulteo. Ulteo is the brainchild of Mandrake Linux founder Gaël Duval, who was recently ousted from the corporation that now calls itself Mandriva. According to Duval, Ulteo is not just user friendly, but actually represents a whole new paradigm that will change the way we think about Linux.

The MAROON Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 February 15,1985 Vol. 63, No. 17 Tuition to rise 10 percent in '85-'B6 By Keith Magill Assistant News Editor Loyola undergraduate tuition will increase by $438 next year to help support rising educational and general expenses, Dr. Norman Roussell, chairman of the University Budget Committee, said. The increase will also offset stabalized income from the Loyolaowned WWL radio and television stations, which has helped pay a portion of the university's expenses for more than 10 years, Roussell said. Tuition increases were released last week by John L. Eckholdt, vice president for Business and Finance, through University Relations. Eckholdt was not available for comment. »Yearly tuition is now $4,390, but will increase by about 9.9 percent to $4,828 for the 1985-86 academic year. In addition, City College tuition will increase next year by about 6 percent, to $90 per credit hour; law school tuition will increase by about 10.5 percent, to $210 per credit hour. Summer school tuition will increase by about 9 percent, to $120 per credit hour, and graduate tuition will be raised about 10 percent, to $182 per credit hour. University Center fees will also increase next year to $40 per semester for full-time students, $23 for parttime students and $10 for summer students. Residence hall room rates will also increase next year by an average of 9 percent. A double room will cost $964 per semester in Buddig Hall and $918 in Biever Hall. Eckholdt did not release any other definite room rates, but Robert Reed, director of Residential Life, said a double room in Cabra Hall or Fields Hall will cost $990 next semester. Other room rates were not yet available, he said. Roussell said the money generated by the tuition increases will offset the rising costs of faculty salaries and benefits, research, student services, library staff, books and equipment, scholarships and fellowships and public service groups such as the Loyola University Community Action Program and the Institute for Human Relations. He said the cost of educational goods and services increased by about 7 percent during the past year. Though educational costs have risen, the percentage of Loyola's educational and general expenses paid by students has remained relatively constant during the past five years, Roussell said. Tuition and fees accounted for 59.1 percent of Loyola's educational and general expenses in 1980, compared with an unaudited 58.6 percent in 1984, he said. Most of the remaining expenses are supported by endowment income, Roussell said. "In effect, every student that is educated at Loyola is subsidized by revenue from the endowment," he said. Grit off the grid A view of the Communications /Music Complex Phase II looking down from the top of Phase I. —Photo by Nance'e E. Lewis Lawyer questions new PKT policy By Rene Sanchez News Editor Loyola is "treading on dangerous ground" with its decision to deny all university-funded financial aid to members of the former Pi Kappa Theta fraternity who identify themselves with the organization, the attorney hired to represent PKT said. William P. Quigley, general counselor for the state division of the American Civil Liberties Union, was hired last week to research the legality of Loyola's new policy on PKT. Quigley said he was hired by students who wish to remain anonymous. The Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, set the new policy in a memorandum dated Jan. 28 to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. "I have decided that no member who identifies himself, or is any other way identified, as a member of PKT is to receive Loyola-funded student financial aid," Carter's memo said. But Quigley said his research indicates that such an action would create obvious legal problems. Contractual obligations, constitutional rights and federal regulations of Financial aid would be violated if a member of PKT loses aid because of the new policy, he said. "I think that the action of the university not only imperils the rights of the people involved," Quigley said, "but threatens all financial aid assistance to all students." By attempting to impose unconstitutional obligations on recipients of private aid, Quigley said, the university is also imperiling students who receive federal aid. Quigley said that federal regulations of federal financial aid indicate that a university, even a private one, must treat students who receive non-federal aid in the same way as students who receive federal aid. "The law says they (the university) have to treat other aid in the same fashion," Quigley said. Carter could not be reached for comment about Quigley's remarks. But Dr. Norman Roussell, Carter's executive assistant, said that if Quigley contacts Loyola, he will be referred to the university's attorney. Any future action on the PKT policy will be handled by the university attorney, he said. "There is no reason, no clear authority for the university to take away financial aid because of who a person's friends are or what kind of Tshirt he wears," Quigley said. Aside from federal aid regulations, Quigley said Carter's decision is a violation of contractual obligations. He said one party to a contract cannot create additional obligations to the contract once it is in effect. The new policy also violates a person's constitutional rights, Quigley See Tuition/page 4 See PKT/page 3 *The Maroon' will not publish Feb. 22 because of the Mardi Gras holidays. Publication will resume March /.

Searching tips
Approaches to searching:
- Your own keywords; use of wildcards and boolean combinations can improve your results. Use this worksheet for thinking up keywords.
- The database's index terms: retrieve results with precision; works well when your keywords might match many synonyms. Look for these terms in the descriptors or subjects field of a full record. Search for these terms in a database's thesaurus or browse for them in a field's index.
- An article's cited references: no need to think up keywords: find the record for a good article then search to find articles that have cited it; find related articles (searches for refs in common). Web of Science is the best database for this.
- Ask other readers: ask your professors, e-mail authors, hang out at conferences.
- Browsing: good old-fashioned technique; related books tend to be shelved together; also through serendipity you might find useful sources.

One More For Canada
May 9, 2011
We're making it a two city Canadian tour as we head to Halifax, Canada for the Rock the Hill festival on July 14, 2011 at Halifax Garrison Grounds. The relatively new festival will also include Matt Mays, Protest the Hero, Seether, and Coheed and Cambria.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 12, 2011 at noon local time and will be available at RockTheHill.ca or by phone at 1-877-569-7767. General Admission tickets are $99.50 and there are a limited number of VIP tickets for $199.50. Service charges and taxes will apply to all ticket orders. VIP ticket holders will have access to the front of stage pit, their own entrance and concessions, and the all important special washrooms. Met Club members should log in for information about their pre-sale.
That's going to do it for us in July, but certainly not for 2011 . . . as we like to say, keep watching here!

"No, no! Use the fire rune! Yeeeeah buddy, toast that draugr!"
"Gah, I'm running out of magic."
"Equip your warhammer and smash his brains out. Or what's left of them, at least. I think he's missing half of his skull."
This dialogue brought to you by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Bringing couples together since 2011!
I had originally heard of Skyrim through Reddit and one of the guys I went to school with. It sounded pretty cool…dragons, magic, lusty Argonian maids…come on, who wouldn't like that?! The more I heard about it, the more I liked it. One of the guys at our church, Scott*, plays it, and had nothing but good reviews. He urged us to get a copy, and one Sunday in early December I told him that I was planning on getting it for Jonathan for Christmas. Jonathan, meanwhile, was sneaking cookies from the dessert table while helping prepare the weekly Sunday lunch gathering.
As Christmas drew closer, my mom and I were discussing what to get Jonathan. I suggested Skyrim, among other video games, because it sounded awesome and because it meant that if he got it, I could play it too. She decided that it was necessary not only to get Skyrim, but the preceding game Oblivion as well. I agreed this was a good idea, even if it meant he would spend most evenings with his hands glued to the Xbox controller.
A few days layer, I get a text from Mom: "Hey! Stop talking about Skyrim so much! Jonathan just told me he was thinking about getting it for YOU for Christmas!!"
Oops. I reply that I'll figure out a way to get him off of that idea, and immediately text Jonathan.
"I hope you're not planning on buying me Skyrim. I think someone may have already gotten it for you."**
Meanwhile Mom was texting Jonathan, telling him that for all my talk, I wasn't likely to play it. Needless to say he figured out that he was getting it for Christmas. Like I said…oops.
So, Christmas day arrives, and Jonathan ends up getting no fewer than 5 video games. Skyrim, Oblivion, Portal 2, Kinect Sports 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. That's not even counting the one he bought for himself for his birthday! He screwed me up with that one, I had bought LA Noire for him, but then he went out and bought it himself because it was on sale. Butthead.
Clearly, the boy is into his games. By mid-January he had finished both Portal 2 and LA Noire. He started Oblivion in late January (gotta do it in order!) and after finishing the main quest, decided he was finished with it in mid-March. He was getting frustrated with it after a while, because it continually froze and had weird glitches towards the end.
On one of the last Saturdays in March, he fires up the Xbox and loads Skyrim. The game begins with you sitting in the back of a wagon with several men. You're not sure what's happening, and eventually you're deposited on some random town. It's determined that you're a prisoner or traitor of some kind, and when they ask what your name is, you begin to create your character.
"Crap. I haven't decided what race I want to be yet." Jonathan juggles the controller around in his hands, a frown creasing his forehead.
I flip through the enormous game guide he bought, looking at the racial profiles. "Well, you were a dark elf last time, that worked out ok, right?"
He shrugs. "Yeah, I guess. I just need to study this for a little bit, figure out which will be the best for magic and spell casting."
"You're a dweeb. Fine, read your giant book and I'll create a character for myself." I toss him the book*** and snag the controller for myself.
I decide on a Nord female, and start my game. It's fun. It's A LOT of fun. I don't have any set plans for my character, i just hack at stuff and shoot fire from my hands. It's awesome. We take turns playing the rest of the day, and since we're snowed in on Sunday, we play some more. We're STILL snowed in on Monday too, so…you guessed it, we play more. I am quickly becoming addicted to this game.
I text Jonathan one evening, when he's working late and I'm playing by myself. "We need another Xbox, so we can play at the same time. Good luck prying this controller from my hands." He's created a monster, and now I won't get anything productive done.
Since then I've been a "good wife" and let him play more often, since I do most (all) of the cooking and cleaning. Once I'm done here, however, I'm kicking him off and taking MY turn. After all, he's up to level 22, and I'm only at level 12! This will not do.
Now, if you'll excuse me…I have to go take some arrows to the knee.
*Scott is a cool dude. He kind of looks like David Tennant, and is REALLY into Star Wars and video games. It's fun talking about Skyrim with him, because when he talks about his Khajiit character and how he can kill stuff with his bow, he gets super into it and starts miming shooting stuff, and crouching down and everything. It's hilarious and awesome.
**Way to be subtle, Alyssa.
***Quite an accomplishment, considering it weighs a bloody ton.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Action News is pouring through hundreds of new documents related to the arrest of dozens of people in an Internet gambling sting.
In 2010, Action News cameras were allowed inside one of the Allied Veterans of the World Internet casinos. Computers were everywhere. On them, the sheriff in Seminole County said was an elaborate scheme. "Through a 3-year investigation, it revealed a sophisticated network designed for personal profit," said Sheriff Donald Eslinger.
Investigators say Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis was at the center of it. He's now in jail. "He was face of the organization and we believe he was the mastermind," said Sheriff Eslinger.
Action News' Catherine Varnum sat down in 2010 with Mathis to ask him if there was gambling going on in the centers. He told us no, and said people pay to go online and, in return, get the chance to win a sweepstakes.
But investigators say they were breaking the law. Gambling isn't allowed in Florida. "You can't distinguish between a slot machine in Vegas and one in the Allied Veterans centers," said Sheriff Eslinger.
Investigators say the money was being funneled between for-profits and the non-profit organization, Allied Veterans of the World Inc. and Affiliates.
Jacksonville's Jerry Bass is the national commander. It's an organization meant to help veterans.
The sheriff says Mathis and dozens more were hiding it.
"The premise of the charity is a lie," said Sheriff Eslinger.
We poured through hundreds of pages of documents that show Bass, Mathis and the organization's former national commander raked in $30 million alone. According to the documents, there are more than 200 bank accounts showing how the money was moved and between who. But of the nearly $300 million, only 2 percent allegedly went to veterans.
The sheriff says Mathis and Bass have been trying to skirt the law for years.
"They never wanted anyone to see what was really behind the curtain," said Sheriff Eslinger.
Action News has learned a lien was placed on Jerry Bass' home in Arlington after his arrest.

Web Survey Bibliography
(a) Relevance & Research Question:
The results of a number of studies comparing data collection via personal interviewing (CAPI) and self administered web surveys (CAWI) suggest that online data collection leads to more honest answers (e.g., Bronner/Kuijlen 2007; Duffy et al. 2005; Hoppe/Lamp 2001; Loosveldt/Sonck 2008; Marta-Pedroso et al. 2007). This is usually attributed to the absence of an interviewer in the online realm and the therefore lower tendency of respondents to answer questions in a manner that will be viewed favorably by others. However, to date no study has used a standardized scale to measure social desirability on an individual respondent level and assess its influence of on data quality in face-to-face and web surveys.
(b) Methods & Data:
In an experimental study respondents were either interviewed by an interviewer in person (n=402) or with a self-administered web questionnaire over the internet (n=387). Respondents for the face-to-face survey were recruited via quota sampling, the web survey was administered to members of an online panel using the same quotas. Among others respondents were asked about their attitudes towards different cultures, countries, and their citizens. Additionally, an adapted version of Paulus' (1984) scale measuring impression management was used to assess the influence of social desirability on data quality.
(c) Results:
The results confirm that social desirability is less pronounced when respondents answer the questions in a self-administered web survey compared to an personal interview.
(d) Added Value:
The use of a standardized scale allows to test for the potential of social desirability as a moderator for mode effects.

PCP's forms and effects
PCP, developed in the 1950s as an intravenous surgical anesthetic, is classified as a dissociative anesthetic: Its sedative and anesthetic effects are trance-like, and patients experience a feeling of being "out of body" and detached from their environment. PCP has been used in veterinary medicine but was never approved for human use because of problems that arose during clinical studies, including delirium and extreme agitation experienced by patients emerging from anesthesia.
During the 1960s, PCP in pill form became widely abused, but the surge in illicit use receded rapidly as users became dissatisfied with the long delay between taking the drug and feeling its effects, and with the unpredictable and often violent behavior associated with its use. Powdered PCP - known as "ozone," "rocket fuel," "love boat," "hog," "embalming fluid," or "superweed" - appeared in the 1970s. In powdered form, the drug is sprinkled on marijuana, tobacco, or parsley, then smoked, and the onset of effects is rapid. Users sometimes ingest PCP by snorting the powder or by swallowing it in tablet form. Normally a white crystalline powder, PCP is sometimes colored with water-soluble or alcohol-soluble dyes.
When snorted or smoked, PCP rapidly passes to the brain to disrupt the functioning of sites known as NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor complexes, which are receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate. Glutamate receptors play a major role in the perception of pain, in cognition - including learning and memory - and in emotion. In the brain, PCP also alters the actions of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for the euphoria and "rush" associated with many abused drugs.
At low PCP doses (5 mg or less), physical effects include shallow, rapid breathing, increased blood pressure and heart rate, and elevated temperature. Doses of 10 mg or more cause dangerous changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration, often accompanied by nausea, blurred vision, dizziness, and decreased awareness of pain. Muscle contractions may cause uncoordinated movements and bizarre postures. When severe, the muscle contractions can result in bone fracture or in kidney damage or failure as a consequence of muscle cells breaking down. Very high doses of PCP can cause convulsions, coma, hyperthermia, and death.
PCP's effects are unpredictable. Typically, they are felt within minutes of ingestion and last for several hours. Some users report feeling the drug's effects for days. One drug-taking episode may produce feelings of detachment from reality, including distortions of space, time, and body image; another may produce hallucinations, panic, and fear. Some users report feelings of invulnerability and exaggerated strength. PCP users may become severely disoriented, violent, or suicidal.
Repeated use of PCP can result in addiction, and recent research suggests that repeated or prolonged use of PCP can cause withdrawal syndrome when drug use is stopped. Symptoms such as memory loss and depression may persist for as long as a year after a chronic user stops taking PCP.
Nature and effects of ketamine
Ketamine ("K," "Special K," "cat Valium") is a dissociative anesthetic developed in 1963 to replace PCP and currently used in human anesthesia and veterinary medicine. Much of the ketamine sold on the street has been diverted from veterinarians' offices. Although it is manufactured as an injectable liquid, in illicit use ketamine is generally evaporated to form a powder that is snorted or compressed into pills.
Ketamine's chemical structure and mechanism of action are similar to those of PCP, and its effects are similar, but ketamine is much less potent than PCP with effects of much shorter duration. Users report sensations ranging from a pleasant feeling of floating to being separated from their bodies. Some ketamine experiences involve a terrifying feeling of almost complete sensory detachment that is likened to a near-death experience. These experiences, similar to a "bad trip" on LSD, are called the "K-hole."
Ketamine is odorless and tasteless, so it can be added to beverages without being detected, and it induces amnesia. Because of these properties, the drug is sometimes given to unsuspecting victims and used in the commission of sexual assaults referred to as "drug rape."
Nature and effects of dextromethorphan
Dextromethorphan (sometimes called "DXM" or "robo") is a cough-suppressing ingredient in a variety of over-the-counter cold and cough medications. Like PCP and ketamine, dextromethorphan acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist. The most common source of abused dextromethorphan is "extra-strength" cough syrup, which typically contains 3 milligrams of the drug per milliliter of syrup. At the doses recommended for treating coughs (1/6 to 1/3 ounce of medication, containing 15 mg to 30 mg dextromethorphan), the drug is safe and effective. At much higher doses (4 or more ounces), dextromethorphan produces dissociative effects similar to those of PCP and ketamine.
The effects vary with dose, and dextromethorphan users describe a set of distinct dose-dependent "plateaus" ranging from a mild stimulant effect with distorted visual perceptions at low (approximately 2-ounce) doses to a sense of complete dissociation from one's body at doses of 10 ounces or more. The effects typically last for 6 hours. Over-the-counter medications that contain dextromethorphan often contain antihistamine and decongestant ingredients as well, and high doses of these mixtures can seriously increase risks of dextromethorphan abuse.
