Most widely held works by Daisaku Ikeda
Choose life : a dialogue by Arnold Toynbee ( Book )
18 editions published between 1976 and 2007 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,747 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The topics discussed in this book are of very diverse kinds. Some of them are urgent concern at the present time, but some of them are issues of perennial importance that have been pondered and discussed by human beings ever since the unknown date at which our ancestors first awoke to consciousness. It seems probable that these perennial questions will continue to be debated so long as mankind survives in the psychosomatic form in which we exist in our material environment, that is to say, in the biosphere that covers the planet earth
Buddhism, the first millennium by Daisaku Ikeda ( Book )
22 editions published between 1977 and 2012 in 5 languages and held by 1,717 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Beginning with the events immediately following the dark days after the death of Shakyamuni and continuing over a period of 1,000 years, this dynamic tome covers a vast and complex series of events and developments in the history of Buddhism. Through a thorough examination of its early development in India, a new light is cast on little-known aspects of Buddhist history and its relevance to the understanding of Buddhism today. Topics include the formation of the Buddhist canon, the cultural exchange between the East and West, and the spirit of the Lotus Sutra
Global civilization a Buddhist-Islamic dialogue by Daisaku Ikeda ( )
19 editions published between 2003 and 2008 in English and held by 1,519 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Global Civilization is addressed to students to Buddhism, Islam and international communication but most importantly to the general reader. It is a call for tolerance, for dialogue and ultimately for peace."--BOOK JACKET
New horizons in eastern humanism Buddhism, Confucianism and the quest for global peace by Tu Weiming ( )
10 editions published between 2010 and 2011 in English and held by 1,343 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"China now attracts global attention and headlines that are directly proportionate to its increasing economic and geopolitical power. But for several millennia the philosophy that has guided and shaped the soul of China is not modern Communism, or even new forms of capitalism, but rather Confucianism. And one of the most striking phenomena relating to China's ascendancy on the world stage is a burgeoning interest, throughout Asia and beyond, in the humanistic culture and value-system that underlie Chinese politics and finance: particularly the complex, multi-layered and sophisticated thought of Confucius as passed on in the Analects. In this stimulating and wide-ranging conversation, two leading thinkers from the Confucian and Mahayana Buddhist traditions explore the timely relevance of rejuvenated Confucian ethics to some of the most urgent issues in the modern world, including: Sino-Japanese-US relations; the transformation of society through education and dialogue; and the role of world religions in promoting human happiness and flourishing. Assessing fascinating correspondences between the Confucian and Buddhist world-views, and discussing such thinkers as Mencius, Nichiren, Zhang Zai, Spinoza, Gandhi, Max Weber, Levinas, Tang Junyi, and Habermas, the interlocutors commit themselves to a view of spirituality and religion that, without blurring cultural difference, is focused above all on the 'universal heart': on a notion of harmony between people and nature that leads finally to peace and to a hopeful future for all humanity."--P. [4] of cover
The persistence of religion comparative perspectives on modern spirituality by Harvey Gallagher Cox ( )
10 editions published in 2009 in English and held by 1,342 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In the nineteenth century, Nietzsche famously announced that God was dead. In the twentieth century, an increasing reliance on science and technology led to a widespread rejection of belief on the grounds of its irrationality. Yet for all the skepticism directed towards it, religion has not died. In fact, the opposite has occurred: it has persisted and proliferated. In this wide-ranging dialogue, two leading commentators on religion address - from their different but complementary traditions of Christianity and Buddhism - the continuing appeal of spirituality to people eager to explore fundamental questions of meaning and identity. The authors indicate that science, for all the benefits it has conferred, has limits of explanation. It may be able to show how, but not necessarily why. --BOOK JACKET
A dialogue between East and West looking to a human revolution by Ricardo Díez-Hochleitner ( )
7 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 1,279 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
How far do cultures affect the future of the planet? Can the debate on the environment and global warming be influenced by the cultures of East and West understanding each other better? In this consistently provocative dialogue, two of the most influential thinkers of recent times propose that only a 'human revolution' - a shift in the hearts and minds of individuals - can stimulate a revolution in humanity's relationship with the planet. Such a planetary revolution first requires a transformation of moral and political leadership, and an orientation towards the future rather than a preoccupat
A quest for global peace Rotblat and Ikeda on war, ethics, and the nuclear threat by Joseph Rotblat ( )
14 editions published between 2006 and 2007 in English and held by 1,257 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This series of dialogues between two leading ethical thinkers brings together the courage and humanity of Rotblat with the spiritual wisdom and global visionary outlook of Daisaku Ikeda, the leader of the world's largest and most influential lay Buddhist organisation. Together they reflect on fundamental issues of war and peace, the ethics of nuclear deterrence and the trajectory of Joseph Rotblat's career, from the Manhattan Project to the Pugwash Conferences and his Nobel Brize."--BOOK JACKET
A new humanism the university addresses of Daisaku Ikeda by Daisaku Ikeda ( )
15 editions published between 1995 and 2011 in English and held by 1,252 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The natural sympathy and understanding of people everywhere must be the soil in which the new humanism can thrive.' For Daisaku Ikeda, whose words these are, education has long been one of the fundamental priorities of his work and teaching. His emphasis on the intellectual legacy bequeathed to humanity by the great teachers of civilization is in this volume encapsulated by the notion of a 'new humanism': a significant residue ofwisdom that in the right circumstances may be passed on to future generations, expanding horizons, making connections between different cultures and encouraging fresh
The living Buddha : an interpretive biography by Daisaku Ikeda ( Book )
18 editions published between 1976 and 2012 in English and held by 1,247 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
An intimate portrayal of one of history's most important and obscure figures, the Buddha, this chronicle reveals him not as a mystic, but a warm and engaged human being that was very much the product of his turbulent times. This biographical account traces the path of Siddhartha Gautama as he walked away from the pleasure palace that had been his home and joined a growing force of wandering monks, ultimately making his way towards enlightenment beneath the bodhi tree, and spending the next 45 years sharing his insights along the banks of the Ganges. The Buddhist canon is expertly harvested to

4 editions published in 1992 in English and held by 1,121 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Together, Daisaku Ikeda and Josef Derbulav explore a wide range of topics, starting with a discussion of the tension between tradition and modernization in Japan and elsewhere. They compare humanism in East and West, and Buddhism and Christianity. Focusing on the crucial topic of education, they consider the roles of ethics and religion, and zero in on concrete problems and issues: education and political authority, absenteeism, violence in schools, and juvenile delinquency

The flower of Chinese Buddhism by Daisaku Ikeda ( )
10 editions published between 1976 and 2012 in English and held by 1,012 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Beginning with the introduction of the religion into China, this chronicle depicts the evolution of Buddhism. The career and achievements of the great Kumarajiva are investigated, exploring the famed philosophical treatises that form the core of East Asian Buddhist literature. Providing a useful and accessible introduction to the influential Tien-t'ai school of Buddhism in Japan as well as the teachings of the 13th-century monk Nichiren, this examination places special emphasis on the faith of the Lotus Sutra and the major works of masters such as Hui-su, Chih-i, and Chanjan.

Patoka Man Arrested for Steeling Mother's Car and Crashed ItAn 18-year-old Patoka man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a car from his mother. Marion County Sheriff's Deputies say Geoffrey Organ of West Clinton Street was arrested after others that were passengers in the vehicle provided statements that Organ was driving when the car crashed into a tree and caught fire. The crash occurred near the Berry and Mona Road intersection in rural Patoka.
Organ had originally reported the 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass as missing on Saturday. He told deputies he was the last to drive the car and discovered it missing from a driveway in the 200 block of East Poplar in Odin on Saturday morning. The burned remains of the car were then located on Sunday. Deputies say some of those in the vehicle at the time of the crash received minor injuries, but did not require hospitalization.

School break makes money for White Mountains, North Country
It was a winter wonderland for those who took to the Nordic ski trails in the White Mountains during school vacation week. (SARA YOUNG-KNOX PHOTO)
"It was a record week for us," Scott Ross, executive chef at Moat Mountain Smokehouse Brewery in Intervale said, noting the establishment served a lot of families and larger groups. "The skiing is good, so it's been a very good winter."
Dot Gunter at Loon Reservation Service & Sales also reported a great week.
"We were very busy," she said, explaining that the service manages the rental of 100 units, with some units reserved for longer-term winter use. "What we did have was booked. People were very happy."
"We were pretty much 90 percent full all week," Nicole LaPointe, guest relations manager at Mountain View Grand in Whitefield, said.
Lodging for the three-day weekend, she added, was sold out.
"It's definitely better than last year, since we really didn't have any snow then," she said.
On Tuesday, she was looking forward to another storm coming in.
"Last week was good for the (ski) areas, but not outstanding," Karl Stone, marketing director of Ski New Hampshire, said. "It was a slight improvement over last year for most, but the wind and then snowy roads for travel impacted business levels on several days. That said, we're ecstatic to have been dealing with the winter weather. There is an awesome base of soft snow in place, more tomorrow, and clear roads for this weekend. The stage is set for incredible skiing and riding for the upcoming weeks."
For Great Glen Trails, located at the base of the Mount Washington Auto Road in Pinkham Notch, the official snow depth was 17 inches.
That compares to only six inches on Feb. 1.
It's enough snow to give winter sports enthusiasts a good base on which to race up the Northeast's highest peak, Mount Washington.
On Sunday, 150 skiers and snow-shoers will compete in the annual Ski to the Clouds, with four-time winner and Olympian Justin Freeman returning to defend his title in the 10km race.

Yes you will probably have a wait, but the sandwiches and breakfast items (chocolate pancakes anyone?) are wonderful and the pastry cases are decadent. Best to send a family member out to grab a table in the shade while you order.

Indonesian Woman Dies of Bird Flu
Indonesian health officials have confirmed that a woman who died last week was killed by bird flu, making her the country's eighth victim of the disease.
Tests done in Hong Kong showed that the 25-year-old woman died from the lethal H5N1 strain of bird flu, BBC News reported Saturday.
The woman had had contact with dead chickens before being admitted to a Jakarta hospital, the news service said.
The H5N1 bird flu virus has killed nearly 70 people in South East Asia -- most of them in Vietnam and Thailand -- since the outbreak began in 2003.
Meanwhile, officials in Ukraine acknowledged Saturday that country's first outbreak of bird flu, discovered among some 1,500 dead chickens and geese in the Black Sea region of Crimea, the Associated Press reported.
The dead birds, mostly domesticated chickens and geese, tested positive for the H5 type of bird flu, the Agriculture Ministry said. Samples would be sent to laboratories in Italy and England for tests to determine whether it is the H5N1 strain, the AP said.
While person-to-person transmission of the H5N1 strain is rare, health officials are worried that the germ could mutate, making human transmission much easier, leading to a global pandemic of the disease.
FDA Approves Test for West Nile Virus in Donated Blood, Tissues
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first West Nile Virus blood test to screen donors of blood, organs, cells and tissues.
The Procleix WNV Assay detects viral genetic material called ribonucleic acid, or RNA. This new test will help protect patients who receive blood and other such products against West Nile infection, the FDA said. So far, there have been 30 documented cases of people who probably acquired West Nile Virus from a blood transfusion, including nine who died, the agency said.
West Nile Virus is typically transmitted to humans by mosquito bites. It was first detected in the United States in 1999, and has reemerged each year for seven consecutive years, causing close to 20,000 human cases of disease and at least 762 deaths since 2002. It is estimated that between 1 million and 2 million people have been infected with the virus, the FDA said.
In 2002, it was discovered that West Nile Virus could be transmitted in blood. The new test was developed by Gen-Probe Inc. and is marketed by Chiron Corporation, the FDA said.
"To develop an investigational test to screen blood, tissue and organ donors, and to get this test in blood banks throughout the country, and then licensed this quickly is a remarkable achievement for public health and patient safety," said Dr. Jesse Goodman, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Massachusetts Company Recalls Blood-Filter Device
Boston Scientific has recalled a device designed to filter clots out of the bloodstream. The move, done in concert with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, came after eight complaints, including two serious injuries and one patient death, the Boston Globe reported.
The Massachusetts company is recalling 18,000 Greenfield vena cava filters made before March 10, 2004, the newspaper said.
The filter is a cone-shaped steel device that is installed in one of the body's largest veins to catch clots before they can reach the lungs. The recalled filter was made with a defect that occasionally allowed the device to detach before it had been implanted, blocking blood flow itself, according to the newspaper.
People with a filter already implanted aren't at risk because the problem was in the delivery system and not the filter itself, said company spokesman Charles Rudnick.
The company had detected a problem with the filter and changed its manufacturing process in March 2004, but did not issue a recall at the time. Eight months later, a patient died when the filter became detached, the Globe said.
The firm waited another year to recall the product because not enough information was available about the incident, said Rudnick. "We only recently obtained the information we needed to assess what happened," he said.
According to Boston Scientific's Web site, more than 600,000 people have had a Greenfield filter implanted. The product has been on the market since 1972, the Globe said.
The recall affects only filters made before March 10, 2004; the updated version of the filter remains on the market, according to the Globe.
Heparin Antibodies May Pose Risk for Heart-Surgery Patients
Patients who develop antibodies to the anti-clotting drug heparin nearly double their risk of death or serious complication after heart surgery, a new study suggests.
"Complications after heart surgery are typically attributed to the surgery alone," said Dr. Thomas Slaughter, co-principal investigator on the project and a professor of anesthesiology at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. "Our study examined whether development of heparin antibodies before surgery poses an independent risk."
The study, which involved 466 patients scheduled to undergo either coronary artery bypass or valve replacement surgery, was done by investigators at Wake Forest University Baptist and Duke University medical centers. It's the first study to demonstrate a relationship between heparin antibodies and complications after cardiac surgery, the researchers said.
Heparin is administered intravenously during many procedures, including kidney dialysis, heart catheterization or angioplasty, as well as during heart and vascular surgeries. Estimates suggest that nearly half of patients treated with heparin develop the antibodies, which may last for months.
The researchers theorized that in patients with heparin antibodies, subsequent treatment with heparin activates blood components that cause clotting and inflammation, increasing the risk for heart attacks, heart rhythm problems, strokes and other complications.
The study results appear in the December issue of the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.
Face Transplant Patient's First Word Was 'Merci'
The first word spoken by a French woman who had the world's first partial face transplant was "merci," one of her doctors said at a news conference Friday in Lyon.
The surgeons, Dr. Jean-Michel Dubernard and Dr. Bernard Devauchelle, said that the 38-year-old woman regained consciousness 24 hours after Sunday's transplant and there were no post-surgical problems, the Associated Press reported.
The woman, whose identity hasn't been disclosed, suffered severe facial injuries in May when she was attacked by a dog. The damage made it difficult for her to speak and eat. Doctors transplanted a section of nose, lips and chin that were taken from a brain-dead woman.
The transplant triggered a debate over ethics. One French surgeon charged that the transplant team violated advice from the French medical ethics panel because they didn't first attempt reconstructive surgery on the woman's face.
However, a member of the committee said that at long as the face transplant was not total, it was not unethical, the AP reported.
Food Fact:
Got your bacteria?
Yogurt is crawling with bacteria -- and the more of it you eat, the better. Be sure to buy yogurt with a seal that guarantees it has live, active cultures. These cultures -- especially acidophilus and bifida -- colonize the lower intestines with beneficial bacteria while muscling out disease-causing bacteria. Eating yogurt may help prevent diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Yogurt is easy to digest, especially for those who are lactose-intolerant, and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, riboflavin (a B vitamin), vitamin B-12 (which may be low in vegetarian diets) and vitamin A. To avoid unwanted saturated fat, choose nonfat or low-fat yogurt.
Fitness Tip of the day:
Pre-wedding vows.
Instead of gifts of jewelry for your wedding party, give the gift of health. Buy short-term health club memberships for your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Just don't lose too many inches before the fitting!
FAQ of the day:
Should I worry about eating proteins at each meal?
Pairing foods to provide all essential amino acids at one meal is no longer considered critical for vegetarians. Plant proteins are not as complete in all essential amino acids as animal proteins, so it became common advice for vegetarians to eat a food low in one essential amino acid in tandem with another that was high in that particular amino acid. But as scientists learned more about protein metabolism, they discovered that the body maintains a pool of amino acids it draws from to fill any gaps from meal to meal. There's no need to worry about matching foods at meals, as long as you eat a varied diet. Soy foods in particular are excellent sources of essential amino acids.

Publishers WeeklyCan John Locke's memory theory explain the nature of vampire identity? Is there a PETA message buried in True Blood's take on vampire-human relations? These and other biting issues constitute the smart and amusing essays in the latest William Irwin-edited Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series (after Mad Men and Philosophy). Authors invoke the likes of Kant, Sartre, and Freud and approach their topics with the seriousness of a devoted fan balanced with the levity and wit the series is known for. More than one essay focusing on God and vampires duplicate efforts, but highlights include Christopher Robichaud's examination of consent in creating a vampire, William M. Curtis's discussion of metaphor and the mainstreaming of blood suckers, Ron Hirschbein's exploration of the "Edible Complex," and Patricia Brace and Robert Arp's analysis of the not-so-subtle similarities between vampire rights and gay rights. These easily-digestible philosophical morsels are perfect for fans of Jon Stewart and anyone else who likes to laugh while they learn.

Steve O'connor says...
In my assesment, I can not see anything except a Lions triumph and here's why - 1) The Australian Rugby enviromnent has been through disaster after disaster in the past 18 months. No names need be mentioned, but certain individuals seem to think they are untouchable. Delinquents is what some of them appear to be. 2) The Lions are going down with a massive pack and scrum that will tear into even the All Blacks / Boks. While not a cake walk, I believe this to be a very solid launching pad that we are naturally stronger at 3) We are as strong and united in the journey to a successful Lions tour as the Ozzies are mentally fragile. Gatland - a Kiwi - will know how to get to them at the breakdown! I see a victory lads, lets just hope I'm not colour blind!

Crystal Castles - Vanished
Sunday @ 6PM, Environmental Justice is as a concept in the United States that describes a social movement in the United States whose focus is on the fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. Community and Social Change Program Director and UM Professor Courte Voorhees will join us on-air to explain more.
Sunday @ 6PM, Why do governments engage in media censorship and what do they have to gain? Dr. Mehdi Shadmehr from the University of Miami Business school will be on-air to discuss his theories and discoveries. Including, how when nation-wide grievances hit a certain magnitude, heads of state will first releave censorship and then double down.
Sunday @ 6PM, UM Med students Carlos Oliu and Sharon Wolfson have discovered that a little creativity can go a long-way towards improving the cost and availability of developing-world healthcare. Their program Innovaid is a new student organization at the UM Miller School of Medicine devoted to identifying and solving developing-world medical problems through the creative use of technology.
Sunday @ 6PM, Civic Hacking is a revolutionary way the computer savvy are liberating open data that can inform better problem solving in every community. Civic Hacking is making waves across the country with those who know code holding hackathons in LA, NYC, Chicago, and Miami. UM's Dr. Richard Bookman was recently invited to the White House as a "Champion for Change" – and will be speaking about Civic Hacking on-air.
Sunday @ 6PM, To those in the realm of community social change, food charity will never be an adequate response to the hunger crisis. Not only does it fail to put a dent in the problem, by averting our gaze from the real issue—growing inequality—it ends up costing us all in ballooning health care expenditure, lost productivity, unsafe and divided neighborhoods, and unrealized potential. UM Ph.D Candidate Natalie Kivell will be discussing more on routes this growing social movement can take.
Sunday @6PM, Marcia McNutt will be discussing weight gain and tobacco cessation in the African American Community. All Americans smoke at about the same rate, but African Americans experience more tobacco-related diseases. Marcia and UM are testing the 'gold standard' smoking cessation intervention personalized to include aspects of African American culture will be more efficacious than the standard intervention.

What are you thankful for???

I'm thankful my son finally painted my kitchen ceiling, and that my neighbor is going to finish the part he couldn't, over my basement steps. My neighbor is a contractor, and I'm more than happy to pay him to finish.
|Thu, 04-11-2013 - 10:57am
I'm thankful my son is feeling better today--he was out of sorts yesterday--and very lethargic I think it's just allergies kicking in--it went from temps in the 30's to a high of 50 to the last 3 days with highs in the 70's or 80's and all the trees started blooming. It is back to a high in the 50's today though.

The damage has already been done.
The damage has already been done. The second those banks open, the flood of money out of Cyprus will epic. People already anticipate this will happen and just the idea of it means people will try and be first in line at the banks before they run dry.
seriously though.... what in the fuck did they think would happen.
People are too stupid on average to understand inflation overtime is theft... but an outright %10 highway robbery of peoples savings accounts?
Either "they" are INSANE or this is a staged crisis.
I'm guessing this was planned but im not sure why just yet.
Tools of war are not always obvious. The worst weapon is an idea planted in the mind of man. Prejudices can kill, suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has an everlasting fallout all of its own.

ISO/IEC 27001 Information Systems Security Management Standard: Exploring the Reasons for Low Adoption
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper attempts to find the reasons for low adoption of the international standard ISO/IEC 2700 on information security management. The author benchmarks ISO/IEC 27001 against the two other widely applied management system standards - ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. The paper shows that besides low adoption rates, ISO/IEC 27001 standard has received significantly less interest from academia, as measured by the number of scholarly publications on the topic. The paper compares the reasons for the ISO/IEC 27001 standard's application with those for ISO 9001 and conclude with listing possible drivers and barriers for the standards diffusion and suggesting a roadmap for future research on the topic.

When I first started playing LoL around two years ago, my ping used to be 80 ms. However over time it's gradually gone up over that time and right now most games I play I have a 240 ms ping, and only sometimes 180 ms, which may later go up to 240 ms.
As you can imagine my game play does suffer a bit, especially in fast paced team battles. I'll often find myself clicking a button, or moving, or healing / flashing, but it doesn't go off before I die.
I live in the exact same location, and I'm using the exact same ISP. What exactly is happening? Is this because of some change to the LoL servers or can there be some other cause? EDIT 2: ohai, btw I live in Australia. I've got 30Mb/s down (~3.7MB/s) and 1Mb/s up (~100KBs).
EDIT: And one other thing, recently I've been noticing a lot of flux in my ping. Randomly jumping up to 300, 500, 800 ms when no one else in my household is doing any downloading or uploading. It usually goes back to normal, but sometimes I have to quit the client and come back.
Would appreciate any input. Thanks.
bump. mine is doing the same! I start at around 80 ping, and then ten minutes into it im up to 350 ping -.- stupid lag is destroying my rep
wait for RIot to fix

Palo Verde College
|Palo Verde Community College
|Community College
|James W. Hottois
|Blythe, CA, USA
|rural, 200 acres (81 ha) main campus
Palo Verde College, formerly called Palo Verde Junior College, is a community college in Blythe, California.
Main Campus[edit]
Palo Verde College is located along the Colorado River in the fertile Palo Verde Valley, 165 miles (266 km) west of Phoenix, 110 miles (180 km) east of Palm Springs, and 100 miles (160 km) north of Yuma. Its service area includes approximately 20,556 people, 12,456 of whom reside in Blythe. The charm of Southern California agricultural life permeates the valley. Tourism is a major industry, boosted by temperate winters and summers built around river water sports. Palo Verde College is dedicated to learning, to reflection, to personal growth. People of all ages and backgrounds attend from early morning to late evening and weekends take advantage of a wide variety of course offerings. The College has a reputation for quality and a readiness to respond quickly and appropriately to all community educational needs.[2]
Needles Center[edit]
The Palo Verde College District began serving Needles and surrounding area in 1998 when an agreement was reached to transfer responsibility with the San Bernardino CCD which had been providing limited classes to the area since 1968. Beginning in the Fall 1998, Palo Verde College began offering classes in the evening at Needles High School campus. Almost immediately, a search began for a permanent site for the College, which would allow a full array of classes to be offered, both in the daytime as well as the evening.[3]
Spring Street Campus[edit]
Palo Verde Community College also offers to its local residents in Blythe a separate campus that is intended to link the community to the college in order to personally enrich local residents with knowledge. The course offerings (non-credit) are designed to serve the diverse and changing needs of the community by cooperating with and implementing other offerings at the main campus.[4]
Palo Verde College has been the focus of several scandals including one involving a fraudulent enrollment scheme in conjunction with Riverside Community College.
Riverside Community College officials William O'Rafferty, associate vice president of academic affairs, Steven Bailey, dean of public safety, and Robert Curtin, associate dean of public safety were convicted on felony charges of fraud, embezzlement, grand theft and misappropriation of public funds with regard to public safety classes.
The scheme allowed students to take multiple classes at the same time and often gave credit for classes taken at different campuses without attendance. All three Riverside Community College officials were former Riverside County sheriff's deputies. The three dealt exclusively with Al Stremble, Assistant Superintendent of Palo Verde College and a San Bernardino County Reserve Sheriff's Deputy. Palo Verde College was required to repay $713,000 it obtained illegally as part of the scheme.

Razer launches Lachesis viper mouse
If you're a frequent reader of TweakTown, then you might remember that we wrote about a pre-announcement from Razer last week. Well, the site has now been updated and the new product is here in the shape of the Lachesis, Razers latest high-end gaming mouse. Lachesis or Lachesis Muta Muta is apparently one of two things according to Razer, 1. The largest pit viper in the world and 2. Latin for bringer of silent death. It's good to see that Razer is sticking with the snake names.
Although the Lachesis doesn't have some of the features of Microsoft's SideWinder mouse or Logitech's G9, such as adjustable weights, swappable feet or handgrips, it's got something that one-ups both of these mice, a 4,000dpi 3G laser sensor. This offers twice as high resolution as the competing mice from Microsoft and Logitech, so if you need an extra sensitive mouse, then you know where to look.
Other features include 32KB of built in memory for storing up to give gaming profiles, nine programmable buttons and an ambidextrous design which should make southpaws happy. It's also got on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment and the resolution can be adjusted in increments of 125dpi. The scroll wheel is available in two colours, Phantom white or Banshee blue, but it doesn't look as cool as the metal scroll wheel used by Microsoft and Logitech.
The Lachesis should be available worldwide come October and it should retail at US$79.99.

Logitech G9 is real, new G15 keyboard
Remember the spy shots of the Logitech G9 that we posted a couple of weeks ago? Well, it turns out they were the real deal and the new Logitech G9 mouse was announced today. It really looks just as weird as the ones on the pictures, but there's a good reason for it, as what wasn't shown on the spy shots, was the fact that it comes with two removable "jackets".
Logitech supplies what it calls a Wide Load and a Precision grip for the G9 to make it fit different hand size and different play styles. The Wide Load grip features a satin finish while the Precision grip features Logitech's DryGrip technology. Logitech is planning to release additional grips for the G9 in the future. The G9 features the highest resolution we've seen on a mouse at 3,200 dpi and it does of course feature laser technology. The sensitivity can be set between 200 and 3,200 dpi.
Another new feature of the G9 is built in memory for storing game profiles on and you can store up to five profiles, including keyboard macros, dpi settings and LED colour on it. This means that you can take your mouse with you and not have to worry about installing any software on a different computer and still be able to use your own profiles.
The G9 is the first gaming mouse from Logitech to feature the MicroGear scroll wheel, although you have to manually set the mode with a button at the bottom of the mouse. As with the G5, the G9 features an adjustable weight system and you can add up to 28g of extra weight. You can also change the colour of the built in LEDs and Logitech claims that you can choose from several hundreds of colours. The only real downer is the US$99.99 retail price and it doesn't exactly look that sexy, but we can live with the looks.
You can check out some more pictures and details here
Logitech also launched an updated version of the G15 gaming keyboard, which now has built in support for several popular games such as World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2142 and the upcoming Quake Wars. It has also been given a new orange backlight and a game mode switch that disables the Windows key.
The display has also been changed and it's not an integrated part of the keyboard, rather than a flip-up unit. Logitech has removed some of the programmable keys to make the new G15 more compact, so now it only has six instead of 18 G keys, although each key has three modes. The retail price remains at US$99.99

Logitech launches VX Nano notebook mouse
Logitech launched its latest notebook mouse today, the VX Nano, which is smaller than the VX Revolution. The great news for lefties is that the VX Nano is largely ambidextrous, although the two "side buttons" that are located on the top left hand side are still going to be in the same position as for a right handed user.
It features the same laser technology as the VX and MX Revolution and it also has the same excellent MicroGear scroll wheel and this time you only have to press and hold it to change mode, rather than moving a switch at the bottom as you do with the VX Revolution. It also has a built in battery indicator and it's powered by two AAA batteries which should give about 6 months battery life. Logitech also supplies a protective carry pouch with it.
But what really sets the VX Nano apart is the tiny USB receiver it comes with, hardly bigger than the USB connector itself. You can leave it plugged into your notebook and you won't even notice that it's there as it only protrudes 8mm. The VX Nano is using 2.4GHz technology as all other current cordless mice from Logitech.
The price remains the same as the VX Revolution, US$79.99, which is quite pricey for a notebook mouse, but the predecessor was excellent and we'd expect the VX Nano to be just as good.

Logitech Unveils First 'Air' Mouse
Update: Oops, looks like I was beaten to the news on this one, with Lars having covered it earlier on in the day.
Though i'll leave this post up, as I think such a cool mouse is worth a double mention.
Logitech being the rather innovative mob that they are, have cooked up something very unique and interesting in the way of an entirely new form of mouse.
Dubbed the "MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse", this thing not only works in the same manner as a normal mouse (using a surface), but if you hold it up in the air and move it around it'll work just as well!
"How the hell?" I hear you all say. Embedded is Logitech's new Freespace motion sensing system, this allows you to treat the mouse as a remote control from up to 30 feet away using 2.4GHz wireless technology. You can set up different types of hand movements to control various aspects of the system such as volume, pause, fast forward etc. - Perfect in a HTPC environment.
Also done away with on this funky new mouse is the traditional scroll wheel system. Instead there is a touch-sensitive control panel which features inertial scrolling by just lightly swiping the surface at your desired speed / direction.
The mouse will hit shelves sometime next month with list pricing set at $149 USD.
For further information on it, check out the press material on Logitech's website.
FREMONT, Calif. - July 12, 2007 - The future of PC navigation starts now. Logitech (SWX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI), the world's leading manufacturer of computer mice, today introduced the Logitech® MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse, a versatile laser mouse that works on the desk and in the air. Similar to the way people use a remote to control a television, when holding the MX Air mouse, people can now lean back and relax while navigating the computer and enjoying media content.
For many, the computer is now much more than a productivity tool. It serves as a hub for digital media, demanding a new way for people to control, consume and enjoy music, photos and videos on the PC. To enable effortless in-air navigation, the new mouse combines three important technologies - Freespace motion-control, gesture command and wireless - so people can point, select and play media files with just a flick of the wrist.

Asus kills off PS/2 for the mouse
More and more P35 boards are making it onto the web. Although we've known for quite some time that a lot of the legacy intefaces and connectors on motherboards are slowly dying, I was amazed to see that Asus has killed of the PS/2 connector for mice. In its place are a further two USB ports on its new P35 "Bearlake" boards. I don't know how much anyone will miss the PS/2 connector for the mouse, as I can't remember when I last used one on my own machine.
Asus isn't the first company to loose the PS/2 ports though, as Abit tried this some years ago with its first MAX board, but this didn't prove too popular and the PS/2 ports returned to the next model of the MAX series. The picture below is of the Asus P5K which is a mid-range P35 board with support for DDR2 memory.

Logitech Prepares "Wave" Keyboard
Designed specifically with Windows Vista in mind, Logitech are preparing a new wireless keyboard/mouse combo dubbed the "Cordless Desktop Wave". This keyboard will sport a number of dedicated buttons which are specific to Vista.
TGDaily have posted up an early pic of the keyboard along with plenty of info.
After the recent FCC approval for a new wireless keyboard/mouse combination called "Cordless Desktop Wave", Logitech is now preparing Windows Vista keyboard. The new device will be Logitech's first keyboard tailored for use with Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system. Compared to the currently available "Cordless Desktop Comfort laser" keyboard, there are now a few dedicated buttons that directly correspond to Vista features. There are four additional buttons that allow access to Vista Gadgets, the Photo Gallery, the Windows Media Player and the Media Center. The Wave also offers keys for Vista's Flip3D feature and a function to put the PC into sleep mode. The enclosed mouse also supports Flip3D by clicking and the scroll wheel. Pricing has not been announced but it should remain around $100.

ESReality MouseScore 2007
Many of you are very fussy about the quality of your mouse no doubt, especially if you're an avid FPS gamer. But when it comes to raw responsiveness, rather then going by the specs or getting a feel for a few yourself, how'd you like to be able to rely on some very accurate figures to distinguish the performance characteristics of all the best mice on the market at the moment? These exist thanks to a very cool dedicated mouse benchmarking method designed soley for an indepth roundup over at ESReality today.
With the launch of the world's first independent benchmarking system for mice, buying a desktop rodent will no longer involve guesswork and luck. Sujoy Roy has been analysing hardcore data and investigating the real world at a fundamental level since entering Cambridge University in 1994. His other passion in life is gaming, so the creation of the MouseScore benchmark makes perfect sense!
If you are serious about fragging the world to death, then you can't afford NOT to read this article and be the first gamer in your team to know the absolute truth in the battle between the massed ranks of the multinational mouse manufacturers.
If you want to read all the technical detail start at Page 1. If you just want the results go straight to Page 21 to see how the different mice compare.

Logitech updates diNovo keyboard
Logitech have just updated their top of the line diNovo keyboard with the new diNovo Edge. This one gets a face list with several new bang whizz features and other tid bits.
The official press release can be found here, and there's more coverage on it over at The Inquirer.
I HAD ALWAYS liked the look of the Logitech diNovo keyboard, but I stuck to the tried and true Elite and never bought one. Now Logitech is replacing it with the diNovo Edge, new look, new features and new things.
The new look is the most obvious, and three things are immediately apparent. First, it looks really beautiful. It is laser cut from a single piece of black plexiglass and put into an aluminium surround, hard to beat that material choice. The indicators are all flush and backlit orange or green.
