Aren't presidential libraries supported by the government? Why do you need more funds?
The Roosevelt Library and twelve other presidential libraries covering the administrations of Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush are part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a small independent agency of United States government.
Presidential libraries are built through private funds raised by their support foundations and then turned over to the government. The Roosevelt Library was built with privately donated funds at a cost of $376,000 and then transferred to the federal government on July 4, 1940.
Today, the Roosevelt Library's operations are funded through three sources:
- Appropriated funds come to the Library through NARA for core program costs and for salaries and facility costs. Core programs include archival operations and museum curatorial operations. They do not include education and public programming.
- Revenue from admission fees, museum store sales, photo/document reproductions, and facility rentals generally support the personnel and upkeep of those services.
- The Roosevelt Institute is the Library's third funding source. Private funds support museum exhibits, special projects, public programs, additional education personnel, teacher workshops—essentially all of the things the Library needs and wants to do to expand its reach to a broader audience, but for which the government does not provide funding.
I live in the Hyde Park area. What is the Library's role in the community?
The Roosevelt Library strives to be a reliable partner and resource in the greater Hudson Valley community. Through innovative education programs, diverse and engaging public programs, and the facility use of the Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center the Library grows and maintains strong relationships with our neighbors. Programmatic partnerships with local companies and organizations such as Marist College and IBM strengthen the Roosevelt Library's connection with the community and keep the Roosevelt Library -- and its mission -- in the public eye. The Library works directly with the community through committee representation and memberships with local chambers, tourism organizations, and museum and library consortiums to share ideas and cultivate new partnerships in the Hudson Valley.
What is the role of the Library internationally?
The Roosevelt Library is the premier research facility for studying the lives, times, and legacies of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Library has a long history of engaging with the world. The Library's research archives provides assistance to hundreds of researchers from around the world each year, and visitors from all parts of the globe annually visit our museum galleries to learn more about the Roosevelt legacy. The Library also partners with other international institutions. For example, in June 2012 the Roosevelt Library is co-sponsoring with the Churchill Archive Centre a symposium on the special relationship between Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt Library staff members have also participated in a series of Franklin Roosevelt symposia in the Azores.
Because the Library is seen as a leader in the presidential library system, officials from other governments, including South Korea and the Philippines, have visited the Library and met with our staff to learn more about how our system operates and to obtain guidance as they create their own unique libraries. The Library's Museum often loans objects for exhibition to museums and cultural institutions in other countries. The development of digital teleconferencing capabilities at the Library also now enables the Library's education staff to reach students anywhere in the world.
Who will benefit from the Library's Campaign?
The outcomes of this campaign will include a significant increase in visitors to the Library, both online and in person. Our supporters range from Roosevelt Era survivors, to historians, to local residents. The Roosevelt Institute's membership program is available to all on an annual basis, and benefits include admission to the Library and its events, discounts at the Museum gift shop, and much more. Our campaign also stands to increase tourism in the Hyde Park area as we re-launch after the renovation, introduce new exhibitions, and work to highlight the relevance of the Library to America today.
How will the Library be supported after this Campaign?
As the nonprofit partner to the Library, it is the Roosevelt Institute's responsibility to support its ongoing operations to supplement government and earned revenues. While this Campaign is focused on the launch and dedication, we expect to raise enough visibility to increase memberships, which are renewed annually, and to secure major grants from foundation and corporations to help maintain operations. Sustaining funds will be an ongoing long-term project for both Library and Roosevelt Institute staff.
Are there naming opportunities?
Yes! We are able to offer the following naming opportunities to major donors: conference rooms, benches, theaters, exhibitions, printed materials, lectures series, and fellowships.
We would like to include the Library in our estate planning. Can that count toward the Campaign?
We cannot count a bequest intention toward the Campaign, but many individuals want to recognize the impact of the Roosevelts on their lives through a bequest. You can contact us for more information.
Please consider a generous donation. If you would like further information on making a gift, or have any questions not addressed in FAQs above, please get in touch with us at (212) 444-9130.

Is upgrading from Ubuntu Server 9.04 to 12.10 advisable or a potential train wreck?
closed as not a real question by Ringtail, david6, hhlp, Jorge Castro, theDefector Nov 27 '12 at 17:02
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The server is already a train wreak since it has been running an unsupported release for years, thus it is entirely possible that it had a security vulnerability and has been hacked. You need to burn the server and build a new one. At the very least, you need to format it and install 12.10 ( or 12.04 LTS would probably be a better idea given a continued lack of staying on top of upgrades ).
I would recommend a reinstall as the only supported upgrade path is 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 12.10. A reinstall will be quicker.
The upgrade path from 9.04 is
This may be a little time consuming but it's the only way to do it without a complete reinstall.

For learning all this wisdom, one has to have a great curiosity in the Indian Vedic system and a desire to help others. This is because an astrologer is someone who dedicates his life to help others seek definite answers to the questions in life and also solve their problems. Such has been the impact of Vedic astrology that people in the West are using it.
Pandit ji has unshaken faith in the Vedic astrology and has mastered all fields of astrology through his unflinching dedication and hard work over many years. He is well known for his dedication to his clients and his oath to provide the best guidance to anyone who comes to him and is the most famous astrologer in India.

Apple to Fix the Web-Based Jailbreak: Wait, This is Good News
Remember the newest iOS jailbreak that works through your iPhone's mobile browser? Apple has announced that it is going to patch the security flaw that allows. Before you jump up in arms, rest assured that this is actually good news. Another, safer jailbreak option will be available I am sure, and this gaping security hole will be patched.
While the PDF/font exploit that the jailbreakme.com 2.0 'Star' jailbreak used is certainly nifty, malicious software engineers (read hackers who want to steal your identity) could use it to gain control of your device and download your private information to their hearts' content. It is better for every that this be fixed.
Wait, what? The jailbreak uses fonts to bypass all of Apple's elaborate security measures to make sure that it is the only one allowed to decide what apps you are allowed to use? Yes, you read that correctly. Font exploits are actually quite old and I am surprised that Apple let this one slip by it. I have used a font exploit to hack into an original Xbox before and install Linux and whatever else I wanted. (Okay, I may be a geek, but at least my Xbox is the coolest HD video streaming, internet accessible and fully home networked television streaming device around.)
Since Apple updates iOS all at once, instead of releasing actual patches that are available over the air, this fix might actually take a little while to come out. That proximity sensor nonsense that some iPhone 4s are experience will hopefully fixed at the same time as this security patch releases. While I am not keen on Apple letting something like this stay around long (just make sure you hacker geniuses out there have another jailbreak ready when the fix comes out), it does show that Apple at least is not as much of a megalomaniac as Google, who will actually go onto your Andoid OS device without your permission to delete apps that it does not like.
Until Apple releases the fix, just be safe online and don't open any PDF files that you do not trust. If your iOS device is already unlocked, then use your Cydia app store to download some jailbreak PDF warning software. It will warn you before letting you open a PDF file. Kind of like an anti-virus hack for your iPhone until Apple plays its hand. Let me know what you think of this situation.apple iphone 4, jailbreak, patch

|Location: Beijing, Hubei, Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, China
Academic Program
Ethnobotany is an investigation of past and present human dependence on plants, emphasizing plants used as foods and medicines. This course is an on site exploration of the diverse ways in which plants form an integral part of modern China and its history. By studying how plants have been or are used in human societies, ethnobotany also gains insight into the complex relationship between plant uses and cultures. A growing interest in ethnobotany is seen since the 1990's because of pharmaceutical applications. Although chemically-synthesized drugs replaced plants as the main medicinal source in the recent history of human civilization, especially in industrialized countries, plants are again considered as a significant source of new pharmaceuticals. Industries are now interested in exploring parts of the world where plant medicine remains the predominant form of dealing with illness.
China has a rich and well documented tradition and diverse usage of plants. China provides a classic example of the incorporation of plant derived drugs in all aspects of medicine. The diverse usage of plants is also reflected in the many kinds of Chinese food that are consumed by people of various cultures around the world. China is one of the "cradles" of agriculture, the birth place of the cultivation of many important crops, including rice, millet, soybeans, and water chestnuts, and is the only undisrupted major ancient civilization in the world. Some plants find use in almost every aspect of Chinese life, such as the bamboo, a woody grass, which provides material for many uses, from construction to furniture, tools, crafts, paper, and food. Thus China is an outstanding location for the study of ethnobotany, allowing close examination of the diversity of human usages of plants, past and present, and its implications on humanity in the near future.
China's recent emergence as a fast growing economic power provides numerous opportunities for American companies. Increasingly close ties have formed between China and the US in economic, political, and academic fields since China opened its doors to the western world two and half decades ago. This means for the university and its students tremendous opportunities, as well as a serious challenge because of the cultural differences between the two countries. The proposed course will help the students to gain an understanding of China and its people by surveying a core theme of everyday life, use of plants, and other related cultural phenomena.
"It is wonderful to observe how people on the other side of the world live, just how small your backyard is, how old cultures are when compared to our own... and that the food is unbelievably good." -- Roger Cunningham, Summer 2010 participant.
"The best 3 weeks of my life. I learned so much about life and myself." -- Zachery Guthrie, Summer 2010 participant.
"Going to China was probably the most mind-blowing experience! The culture was so different and interesting, the food was incredible and the people were so welcoming. I want to go back." -- Kateri Tonyan, Summer 2011 participant.

Beset by war, social upheaval, and economic depression, the Levant's exoticism has been overshadowed in recent years by horrendous TV images that kept tourists away.
Now, however, tourism is staging a comeback.
Spanning the formerly Ottoman realms between Greece, Egypt and Persia, the Levant fascinated travelers with a mixture of tribes, faiths, markets, tastes, and fragrances that exists nowhere in the West, and yet is at Europe's doorstep.
The recovery sadly excludes Syria, whose attractions — from Roman Palmyra to the souks, khans, and stone gates of Aleppo — remain trapped in a war zone. The same goes for central Iraq, where suicide bombings have straddled the Euphrates and Tigris, including the ruins of Nineveh, Babylon, and Ur.
Lebanon's situation is better, with 1.3 million tourists expected this year to benefit from Beirut's modern hotels, cosmopolitan aura, and vibrant beaches. Still, Syria has exported a million refugees as well as fire exchanges in Tripoli, car bombings in Beirut, and rocket salvos at Baalbek, whose half-empty archeological ruins are reached through three checkpoints, one the Lebanese Army's and two Hezbollah's. In what is perhaps the best indication of Lebanese tourism's foggy prospects, Beirut-based Middle East Airlines froze a planned initial public offering amid declining ticket sales.
Where turmoil's pressure on tourism may have spent itself is Egypt.
Back to the pyramids
No picture expressed the regional tourism crunch better than the camels crouching idly by the pyramids following the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak three years ago.
Mubarak's ambitious development on this front, highlighted by a string of resorts along the Red Sea coast, saw incoming tourists treble within a decade to an annual 14.7 million, who generated by the eve of his downfall some $14 billion, and employed every tenth Egyptian. Since then the number of tourists has plunged by 35% to 9.5 million, with this year's first-quarter visits down to 2 million, a 30% plunge compared with the same period last year.
Yet Egyptian tourism's contraction may have just bottomed out. Unlike Syria and Iraq, Egypt hasn't cracked into disjointed regions. Now it's expected to further consolidate, once General Abdel Fattah el Sisi emerges from June's presidential election as Egypt's undisputed and business-minded leader.
Sisi's fundamentalist enemies will challenge him, and the faceoff will happen in the tourism industry. Islamists have previously struck in Luxor, where they killed 58 in 1997, and the following decade on the Red Sea Riviera and in Cairo. The Egyptian army's current campaign in the Sinai Desert is about this, as the fundamentalists see in the tourists importations of Western decadence.
However, Sisi is out to do in Egypt what Rudi Giuliani did in New York. He will swamp the country with cops and detectives, recalling that Egyptian tourism's record years came after the big terror attacks. It follows, that with stability restored tourism will steadily recover while prices will initially remain low.
Things are simpler along the region's northern rim, where tourism seems poised to defeat turmoil by a knockout.
Talking Turkey
Less than a year since thousands clashed with police in Istanbul and Ankara, it seems Turkish tourism has weathered the storm.

Milwaukee's Summerfest — billed as "the world's largest music festival" — begins this week, and I must say I'm excited. Plenty of progressive bands — or at least bands with progressive tendencies — can be found on the Summerfest bill this year. (OK, less than a couple dozen in a field of 800 is not "plenty," but it's still more than I recall in past years.)

beautiful luggage
I needed some new luggage and found this beautiful set. I received it on time, perfect condition, and the lovely chocolate brown color was exactly like the image on the website! Will definitely recommend to friends.Read More
Nice look, holds up well
Took the entire luggage set for international travel to Central America and back w/ transfers and it held up very well. It has a nice look to it, and the chocolate color scheme stood out from a lot of the other luggage on the baggage claim belt. There were a couple minor scuffs on the trim and the metal logo on one bag got scratched up a bit, but the durability remained intact. Should be able to get a few good years of plane travel out of it, and longer if used for non-plane travel. Overall happy with it, especially for the price.Read More
poor quality
If I had done this review when I first received the luggage, I would have given a good review. However, after using the luggage a few times, the problems were apparent. The bags just do not hold up to travel. Three of the five bags have come apart. At first it was just the duffel, which I liked for my one or two day trips because it fits nicely in the airplane overhead. But then, the side seams came apart. Then on the middle size bag the same thing happened which was soon followed by the small bag. I loved that these were lightweight bags that were a distinctive color, but now I have to buy a new set because I can't trust that these bags won't come completely apart the next time I use them.Read More
The zippers on all pieces stick terriblly!! We bought this luggage for a recent cruise and on two of the pieces some of the stitching came undone. Not a super expensive set but hoping it would've been a better product. So sorry I wasted my money!!!!!!Read More
Great Luggage Set!
I bought this set right before my vacation and I love it! It looks great and held more than expected.Read More
Honeymoon Luggage
Everything about the product was amazing except for 1 slight thing. On the smallest bag (purse sized) when I hooked it over the handle of the rolling luggage bag, it frayed the thread on the handles. Not a major flaw, but a bit irritating. Easily fixed once I got home and could use heat to seal the seam. I used this bag as a carry on, but I have the feeling it would have gotten quite frayed if it had been a checked bag. I absolutely love the set and would recommend it to anyone. Just be aware of that 1 thing. To me it's in no way a deal breaker compared to the beauty and durable fabric of this set. I took this on a week long honeymoon trip to Disney and didn't have a single issue other than the slight fray in the faux leather handle. Everything else was perfect.Read More

A Connecticut judge said he will listen Monday to the 911 recordings from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting before ruling on whether they can be publicly released.
- Filed Under
Gunman Adam Lanza acted alone and didn't conspire with anyone when he killed his mother, Nancy, in their Sandy Hook home Dec. 14 and then slaughtered 26 children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a Connecticut State Police report released Monday says.
Investigators reported that a review of electronic evidence and digital media that "appeared to belong to the shooter'' showed he had a preoccupation with mass shootings, particularly the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colo., in 1999.
The summary report by the lead investigator, State's Attorney Stephen ...

Why You Got Dumped - Again
Page 2 of 2
You're too niceSee if this sounds familiar: You try to impress and please your girlfriends by being as nice as you possibly can be. You don't complain, you don't argue and, god forbid, you ever raise your voice.
Then, after she leaves your smiley, simpering ass behind for another guy, you respond by being even nicer to the next girl you date, buying her gifts for no reason, and giving her nightly backrubs. And that's why you got dumped - again.
We're not saying you have to be a dick like some of the TV jerks out there, but the maxim "nice guys finish last" didn't come out of thin air. Grow a backbone, and get some self-respect and you'll have more relationship success.

|The Game Story:
|CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The No. 13 North Carolina men's lacrosse team earned its third win in a row, leading virtually the entire game in whipping No. 8 Duke 14-9 before 574 rain drenched fans at Fetzer Field.
Eight different Tar Heels scored goals in the game as the Tar Heels took the lead with 6:50 left in the first quarter and never relinquished the advantage. Sophomore attackman Jed Prossner equaled his career high for points in a game as he recorded six on four goals and two assists. Sophomore attackman Mike McCall had three goals for UNC and freshman attackman Scott Falatach had two goals. Sophomore midfielder Bryant Will added a goal and two assists.
The Blue Devils (6-2, ACC 0-2) were led by sophomore attackman Matt Rewkowski and senior midfielder Kevin Brennan with two goals and two assists each. Kevin Cassese, senior middie, had two goals for the Blue Devils.
After an early goal by Dan Flannery for Duke, North Carolina (4-2, ACC 1-0) ran off three in a row for a 3-1 lead with 4:01 left in the first quarter. Freshmen accounted for the first two goals as midfielder Andrew McElduff scored the first of his quarter followed by a goal from attackman Ryan Blair. Prossner deposited his first goal at 4:01 and it was matched by Rewkowski to end the quarter at 3-2 Carolina.
The second quarter started with back to back goals for UNC as senior midfielder Austin Garrison and Prossner put the Heels up 5-2 at 7:17 of the second quarter. Rewkowski added with his second for the Blue Devils and McCall and Bryant Will scored back to backers for UNC. Cassese ended the half with his first of two with 14 seconds left and the Heels left the field up by three.
Right off the opening faceoff of the third quarter Garrison found Prossner for a quick goal 14 seconds in to push the lead back to four but Duke was up to the task and a Matt Zash goal with 13:21 to play and a Dan Doty goal with 12:35 to play got the Devils right back in the thick of things at 8-6.
But after 11 plus scoreless minutes Carolina exploded with three goals in the final minute of the third period. At 59 seconds it was extra-man from Kyle Bell. At 34 seconds it was McCall from Prossner. At six seconds Falatach circled around the defense to a point blank effort out front.
The teams each got three goals in the final period. McCall went behind the back from Steven Will at 13:31 and just 49 seconds later it was Prossner for No. 4 of the match via a Bell feed. Duke broke a 21 plus minute scoring drought as Brennan was fed by Mack Hardaker with 5:56 to play. Falatach scored into a empty net with 3:26 left and then Brennan had an extra-man tally and Cassese a goal 23 seconds later at 1:47 to finish the scoring.
Duke went two men down in the final minute but the Heels never went into extra-man and just killed the clock in the box.
For Carolina it was the most goals against an ACC team since a 17-16 double overtime loss to Virginia in the 2000 ACC Tournament semifinals. It was also Carolina's third win in the last seven ACC games after the Tar Heels had gone 1-19 in the previous 20 contests against league opponents.
Carolina hits the road for Saturday's match against No. 2 ranked and undefeated Maryland in College Park, Md. at 1 p.m. The Blue Devils are also back into the thick of the competition on Sunday at tough foe Georgetown.

Exceptional Quality
Par Sandi
de Newmarket
We purchased this for our daughter for Christmas.(petal pink) It is extremely well made, the leather is soft, supple & top of the line. The hardware is very high end. The quality is instantly apparent.We also purchased the matching tote 579-666 in petal pink and its also exceptional! She has been using them since xmas morning without fail!!!My daughter does not travel light and this little bag carries all she needs including her wallet, pens, makeup etc on a day to day basis. She is a full time student.I have to disagree with the reviewer that stated this bag doesn't hold much. It really packs in quite a bit more then we thought it would.A+ bag at an A+ price.

Love It
Par Linda
de Ottawa
Love this casual, smaller, crossbody. It is small but there is room for essentials. The middle pocket holds my large wallet, sunglasses, etc., there is room for cell phone, lip gloss, compacts, and keys etc. in the two outer pockets. Exquisite leather and attention to detail.. will be watching this line!

Classy looking crossbody
Par Lila
de Coquitlam
I purchased this bag because I wanted a crossbody that didn't look as casual as some other crossbody bags. The style is really nice and the leather is great. Having said that, the bag is very small and the two outside pockets won't hold anything thicker than a credit card. I can fit my Soprano medium sized wallet, Iphone, a pair of reading glasses, and I stick a lip gloss down one end of the bag. I really have to put these items in the bag in a particular order for everything to fit and be able to zip up the bag. I kept the bag because I liked the look and the leather. Like the other reviewer I would recommend this bag to someone who doesn't need to put too much in her bag.
Doesn't hold enough
Par virgo
de Alberta, Canada
I got this bag in grey which was a beautiful grey. And while the leather is some of the best leather I have felt and the hardware on this bag was gorgeous it barely holds anything. I did read the measurements and compared them against another smaller bag I have and thought it would work. It barely fit my wallet and a few other things in it. For this reason I had to return it.If you carry very little with you then this bag will work for you.If it were a bit bigger I would buy it again for sure.

Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

Israeli strike in Syria might be first in series

JERUSALEM – Israel's recent airstrike in Syria, which according to Western officials targeted weapons destined for the militant Lebanese group Hezbollah, could mark the start of a more aggressive campaign by Israel to prevent arms transfers as conditions in Syria deteriorate, according to analysts in Israel and Lebanon.
Israel's readiness to strike again if necessary heralds a new and more volatile phase in the regional repercussions of Syria's civil war, which has raised concerns in Israel about the possible transfer of advanced or nonconventional weapons to Islamist militant groups.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak all but acknowledged that Israel carried out the strike near Damascus on Jan. 30, saying it was "proof that when we say something we mean it." An Israeli cabinet minister had warned before the attack that Israel could act against transfers of chemical weapons to militant groups.
Amos Yadlin, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence who directs the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, said in an interview that while future Israeli action could be expected, it would depend on specific calculations of the advantages and risks of such strikes.

The Botch Job: Usher's soon-to-be-ex wife, Tameka Foster, had a much-publicized mishap at a
non-JCI-accredited hospital in Brazil before undergoing a simple liposuction procedure. Foster, 38,
went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, but was revived immediately by heart
The Real Deal: Brazil's devaluation of the real makes surgeries across the country dirt cheap and
appealing. Brazil has 16 JCI-accredited hospitals and clinics but is plagued by a plethora of
garage clinics, which should rarely be trusted, especially for surgery that requires anesthesia.
(In the U.S., many malpractice cases are anesthesia related.)

Solar panels
Re: your Dec. 27 article, "Aiming to save a lot":
Another week, another pathetic green-energy boondoggle as evidenced by the article. Calling it "One local government agency defrauding the federal government" would be more accurate.
Let's do the math. The feds cough up, ie. issue federal bonds, to the tune of $25 million, in order to buy solar panels that save the local school district $54,000 per month. That works out to 38 years to break even.
Will those panels last 38 years maintenance-free and produce the same energy all that time? No. Perhaps The Star should investigate what the connection is between the school board and this solar panel company, or the bond issuing agency and someones' brother-in-law.
Someone is making money and transferring the cost from the local schools to the federal government. I guess there's no end to how much the money this federal government is willing to print, or to the gullibility of the local agencies to embrace any green-energy scheme no matter how wasteful or expensive it is.

Campus Televideo Digital TV Service
On campus Cable Service is provided through Campus Televideo. Campus Televideo provides digital TV service to more than 240 campuses across the United States.
What Channels do we offer? Channel line-up details are available via this link to our channel guide.
How do I Setup my television when I arrive on campus? All TV's will require re-tuning, usually via an auto-programming or channel scan feature in the menu of your television, in order to capture all new channels. Please ensure that the Standard Cable Setting is selected (not Air, Antenna, HRC or IRC). We have found that the auto-programming process can be as swift as 5 minutes, up to 45 minutes depending upon the television being programmed.
Is my Television compatible? Campus Televideo is an all digital system using QAM technology. QAM is a type of digital signal that is used by cable companies to distribute television and other telecommunication mediums. This change is similar to the 2009 digital TV switchover that was mandatory for OTA (Over The Air) broadcast stations. (Important: QAM signals are different than Over the Air signals. If you buy a digital converter or set top box from a local electronics store, it will most likely NOT work.)
- Analog TV's or TV's that are generally more than 5 years old may require the purchase of a digital-to-analog converter box (QAM Tuner noted above) in order to view the new channels since the old analog system is being replaced with a digital signal. The cost of the converter / tuner will be the responsibility of the student. These convertor boxes,(Click on the previous link) can be purchased through Amazon for the conversion of an older set with an analog tuner.
- Will my TV work with our new system? How can I tell if my TV has a QAM tuner?
- If your television has been manufactured within the last 5 years, there is a good chance that it can receive the QAM signal.
- The easiest way to tell if your model will work is to either:
- Refer to the documentation which came with your television, look for QAM capable
- Google your make and model, look for QAM-capable
- Digital TV's - Not all new or recently purchased TV's will function as a small percentage of "off-brand" TV's like "Element" or "Westinghouse" may not be equipped with a "clear" QAM tuner. However, some models of these brands televisions have been equipped with the QAM tuner. Please review this technical specification on any newly purchased TV's. The vast majority of newer TV's, we have encountered will work properly.
- Tuner Issues - The small percentage of receiving devices may experience clear QAM tuning issues such as the inability to recognize video and audio streams, the channel numbering format, the channel description, or the channel programming detail. As new television models are released, we expect manufacturers will endeavor to remedy clear QAM issues. Feel free to contact CTV for additional information about digital TV's with "clear" QAM performance issues and recommendations to resolve these matters.
- Digital TV's that are not equipped with the QAM tuner need to purchase the converter box from Bear Logic at the University Center as they are not commercially available.
Technical and Service Resources:
- Campus Televideo has a Frequently Asked Questions webpage that can provide additional information.
- Housing Related Cable Questions or Assistance can be referred to the office of Housing Services at (970) 351-1984.

Left winger Brian Rolston, who was put on waivers by the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, watched Wednesday as the struggling team went through its morning skate in preparation for a game Rolston would play in later that day against the Phoenix Coyotes.
Nobody claimed Rolston by noon ET Wednesday, and GM Lou Lamoriello said Rolston would play against the Coyotes. He couldn't participate in the pregame skate because the waiver process was not complete.
"It's a business. We understand that,'' Rolston told the Newark Star-Ledger. "It definitely is difficult, but at the same time I've been around for a while. I don't think it affects me as much as it would maybe a young player. So I feel fortunate about that. I'm a professional. … I'll play as hard as I possibly can.''
The irony of the situation wasn't lost on Rolston's teammates, who said his presence in the locker room made it seem like nothing had happened.
"If I hadn't read the papers I would've never known,'' goalie Martin Brodeur told the Star-Ledger. "It's kind of a weird situation a little bit. I don't know what's behind it.''
Lamoriello called it a cost-cutting move. Basically, it gives him the flexibility to send Rolston and his $5.06 million salary to the AHL and then put him through re-entry waivers, in effect offering him to other teams at half the cost. Even if Rolston plays for AHL Albany, the Devils will absorb his full salary cap hit. But if a team claims him off re-entry waivers, the Devils would be responsible for only half his salary.
"You take it day-by-day,'' Rolston told the paper. "It could be a matter of re-entry. Who knows? I can't possibly look ahead or let that kind of thought process go through my mind. It's speculation at this point.''

Singer Chris Mann, BMus'04, knows what it's like to have the rug pulled out from under him. Just six weeks before his first album was scheduled to come out, the record company canceled the project.
"I had already recorded the strings in a studio next to where Barbra Streisand was recording," Mann says. "I had performed at the Sundance Film Festival and at a pre-Oscar event—I thought my ship had come in. Then it ended, and it seemed like my career was over before it started."
However, Mann made his way back into the studio and into very steady work singing for television shows like Glee and for feature films, including Avatar, Sex and the City II, and the latest version of The Muppets.
"Things I absolutely hated doing in school—like sight reading—gave me the skills to be able to walk into a studio and deliver," he says. "It's a very cutthroat industry, and I've broken in in a big way."
Mann classifies himself as a classical crossover artist: Think Andrea Bocelli or Josh Groban, who has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide.
"Once I rededicated myself to the style I love and went with my gut, things really perked up for me," Mann says.
Mann attracted the attention of legendary singer/songwriter/producer David Foster, who is credited with discovering Groban.
"David discovered Josh Groban and Michael Bublé and started taking them out on the road to sing in his 'David Foster and Friends' concerts," says Mann. "He's been great and has given me the same opportunity to perform in his shows—the first being at the Horatio Alger Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., singing 'The Prayer' with Katharine McPhee. I'm honored and excited to be doing the same concerts Josh and Michael did when they were beginning."
As exciting as all of that is, Mann's biggest achievement may be just around the corner. He auditioned for Season 2 of The Voice, last year's breakout show on NBC, and at press time was a finalist on Christina Aguilera's team. The singing competition's new season debuted Feb. 5, right after the Super Bowl. Stay tuned.

On Friday, Feb. 17, in Ingram Hall, the Blair String Quartet premiered Images from a Closed Ward by prominent American composer Michael Hersch. It is the composer's first string quartet in 20 years, commissioned specifically for the quartet as part of "Blair Commissions: Music for the 21st Century," through funding from the James Stephen Turner Family Foundation.
"I was deeply moved that they approached me," says Hersch. "[It means] they felt something in my work that they connected with. I assure you that not everybody gets what I do, so when people connect with it, that's meaningful to me."
Each member of the quartet had different reasons for choosing Hersch to compose the piece for them, but the opportunity to work with a prominent American composer who had not yet written a major string quartet was among their criteria. Hersch's use of space, time and silence appealed to the quartet, too, as well as his artistic integrity.
"Michael has that ability to voice for four people in an extraordinary way," says John Kochanowski, violist with the quartet and associate professor. "He really understands the conversational attitude. We were excited by the possibility that he could be a great quartet composer."
The Blair String Quartet will premiere the work April 1 at Christopher Cairns Studio in Havertown, Pa., and on April 5 at Weill Recital Hall in New York's Carnegie Hall.

Finance Alumni Networking Event
Great riches were to be found in the "Vault" on Thursday evening, where Finance alumnus Russ Larsen and Wintrust Financial sponsored the Finance Alumni Networking Event. Early evening was all a glitter with meet and greet and networking.
Dean Schoenbachler was very pleased to see all, but particularly new faces engaging with the group. The Dean's speech opened a cache of discussion on a wealth of topics from the benefits of being an NIU Finance alumnus to the golden role of the alumni and investing that wealth of knowledge with current students and fellow alumni. And all treasured Dennis Dean's gem of an anecdote on his professor's mentoring practice of strolling LaSalle Street seeking finance alums, conversation and a cup of coffee. It was a jewel of an evening and we look forward to seeing you all again at the Spring Networking Event.

It is easy to conjure up images of old Japan amid the serene surroundings of Hama-rikyu Gardens.
LIKE Tokyo's Rikugien Gardens and Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens that we had visited in Bunkyo ward, Hama-rikyu Gardens in Chuo ward was formerly a daimyo (feudal lord) garden during the Edo period or Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868).
Situated near the mouth of Sumida River, the 25ha garden was once covered with reeds and used as a falconry ground for the shoguns.
The fourth shogun's younger brother, Matsudaira Tsunashige, a daimyo of Kofu, reclaimed the shallows to build his villa, Kofu Hama-yashiki (Beach Pavilion), in 1654.
When Tsunashige's son, Ienobu, became the sixth shogun, the property came under the ruling Tokugawa clan and was renamed, Hama-Goten (Beach Palace). Succeeding shoguns expanded and remodelled the garden. The 11th shogun, Tokugawa Ienari, completed its final form which has remained till today.
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), the property was transferred to the Imperial family and renamed, Hama-rikyu Onshi Teien (Hama Detached Palace) or Hama-rikyu Gardens, for short in English.
Damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II, the garden was bestowed upon Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 1945. Although renovations were made, some buildings were not restored. It was inaugurated in 1946 and designated a site of scenic beauty and historical significance, in l952.
The garden comprises two main sections: the south focussing on the daimyo garden and the north that was developed after the Meiji era. The surroundings of the ponds are punctuated with artificial hills, trees, shrubs, seasonal flower gardens, stone lanterns, bridges and teahouses.
Oh, another stroll garden, I thought. However, surprises awaited us. This unique garden is surrounded by a seawater moat. To pay the admission fees, we crossed the bridge from Shiodome complex to one of two entrances, Naka-no-gomon.
On the left side of Naka-no-gomon is a lawn dotted with trees and shrubs where once stood a guesthouse for receiving dignitaries. Enryo-kan was Japan's first western-style stone building. Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th US President and his wife stayed there in 1879 during their world tour.
Due to age, Enryo-kan was demolished in 1888. At present, Suwa-style falconry is demonstrated on this site on Jan 2 and 3.
Towards the middle of the garden is a bronze statue of "Mars" on a plinth. Umashimade-no-mikoto (Mars) was a mythical god of war. The statue was presented to the Meiji Emperor to commemorate his silver wedding anniversary.
Next, a mound with a wooden wall aroused our curiosity. Ko-nozoki is a blind for observing ducks in Koshindo kamo-oba, a duck hunting ground built in 1778. One can view the hunting field from the other side.
Like defunct duck hunters, my son and I peeped through the slits of the wall. A long, narrow gutter with raised banks and duck blinds leads to a pond with a flat island.
"So that's how the wild ducks were captured!" Ken remarked, after reading the explanation on the wooden board.
Somewhere near Shinsenza kamo-ba (another duck hunting ground built in 1791) lies a duck grave. Kamozuka was erected in l935 to appease the spirits of the hunted ducks. Nevertheless, the royal hunts continued until the garden was damaged and abandoned in 1945. The ponds have now become a refuge for migratory birds.
Another highlight is Tokyo's sole remaining saltwater pond, Shioiri-no-ike. This tidal pond infuses seawater from Tokyo Bay. The pond's scenery changes with the tide. Skyscrapers loom over the landscape – an arresting juxtaposition of modernity and days of yore.
Wooden footbridges draped with wisteria trellis span Shioiri-no-ike. Otsutaibashi, a 118m-long bridge connects to Nakajima, an island near the centre of Shioiri-no-ike.
On Nakajima sits Nakajima-no-ochaya, a teahouse where visitors can enjoy matcha (green powdered tea) and a Japanese sweets for ¥500 (RM19), while absorbing the spectacular surrounding views. From afar, Nakajima-no-ochaya appears to be floating over the pond.
We had a glimpse of the remains of Shogun O-agariba, the pier for the shoguns, and proceeded to Yokobori sluice gate which regulates the water level of Tokyo Bay's incoming tide and draws in various aquatic organisms to Shiori-no-ike. From the promenade, we could see Tokyo Bay against the backdrop of skyscrapers.
Another interesting feature is the waterbus landing which makes the garden accessible. A one-way waterbus trip to or from Asakusa costs ¥720 (RM27).
"Look!" My husband pointed to a waterbus cruising by Tokyo Bay.
While I was taking a snapshot, Koji and Ken had disappeared in the flower field, playing hide-and-seek among the tall, orange cosmos.
It's amazing that the humongous "300-year-old pine" tree still exists near the main gate, Otemon. Planted in 1709 during the renovation of the garden under Shogun Ienobu, it is Tokyo's largest black pine.
Due to time constraint, we didn't explore other parts of the garden. We left via Otemon and Otemon bridge which the Emperor and dignitaries used when visiting the garden. I was overwhelmed by the sudden transition as I faced the concrete jungle.

The decorative tasks begin as early as mid-October, just to make sure that by mid-November all the rooms and dining nooks in Europe's oldest restaurant (opened in 803 A.D.) will glow and radiate in celebratory splendour.
The work goes on nearly round the clock and everywhere in the house: cables are laid, wreathes braided and new decorative concepts defined and carried out. The highlight of 2009 was an 8-meter high fir tree in the grand salon of the restaurant adorned with thousands of white feathers. Equally worth seeing is the Christmas table of Swarovski crystal and the huge nativity scene which, adhering to longstanding tradition, is mounted in the spirit-warming inner courtyard, utilising the protective flank of the mountain cliffs beneath Salzburg's fortress as a backdrop. Although the pre-Christmas Advent season already has many regular guests who wouldn't dream of missing it, it is still is a secret tip on the tourist circuit. Nonetheless, if you would like to not merely gaze and gawk, or sip a bit of punch, but also dine at highest culinary levels, then don't forget to reserve a table ahead of time.

haven't received email yet. been looking for egg replacements. son is deadly allergic to peanuts and eggs
Mine came right away & was from "Josh". maybe check yr spam?
From a recent free Kindle book I got on recipe substitutions it said you can substitute 2 Tablespoons of cooking oil + 1 tablespoon of water or 1 teaspoon of cornstarch + 3 tablespoons of additional liquid when baking. I haven't tried it.
I also read you can use bannanas as an egg substitute.
Scrambled bananas? Seriously, though, what's the formula? Thanks.
I have a son who is severely allergic to peanuts and eggs also. I have been using
Ener-G Egg Replacer for years. Buy it in health food stores or on Amazon.com. Works great!
Chia seeds work as an egg replacer too!
You can use firm tofu and crumble it up to make "scrambled eggs" . Saute it in a skillet with a tbsp of hot oil, season with garlic, onions, parsley, a dash of turmeric(for color), and salt. nutritional yeast is good too if you can find it. or add cheese- cow milk based or vegan for cheesy scrambled tofu.
if you have not received a email from them yet open the page resend your email and when it asked to share put in your own email address. It will send a email right away with where to send your address
thanks for posting this information
thank you Collin
Thanks. I have an email with just 1 letter in the address and many times it isn't recognized. Tried your trick and sent the invite to that one and another. It came in on the other one, using my 1 letter address as the from. Ours is not to reason why . . .
Being vegan, this product sounds marvelous. Hopefully it'll taste just as good as it sounds.
Thank you.
Flax can replace eggs too.
How does one use flax? Thanks.
Vegetarians can substitute a flax seed mixture for eggs in selected recipes like pancakes, muffins and cookies. These baked goods will be slightly chewier than normal, and the volume will be decreased. The formula for egg substitution is: 15mL (1Tbsp) Milled Flax Seed, plus 45mL (3Tbsp) water = 1 egg. Mix with water, and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Add to the recipe as you would one egg
You can replace 1 egg with 1 tablespoon soy flour + 1 tablespoon water. I have done this many times when I bake and it's good.
Useful info. Thanks!

Fourth brings fireworks legal or not
Police are ready to cite violators
As Independence Day approaches with its traditional pyrotechnic fervor, local law enforcement and fire departments are stepping up efforts to squelch use of illegal fireworks.
Rainfall levels remain near record lows this year in Ventura County, and officials are worried bottle rockets or sparklers could ignite blazes in dry brush or on wood shake roofs.
"This is an extreme Fourth of July period," said Capt. Barry Parker of the Ventura County Fire Department. "A small ember could definitely cause a fire."
Fireworks are prohibited in all of Ventura County except Fillmore, where a limited variety of "safe and sane" devices are legal for about a week near July 4. Despite stiff fines for possessing or using illegal fireworks, contraband devices flood the county every summer, authorities said.
Fireworks were blamed for starting a fire on the roof of an Oxnard home this month. Two structure fires in Simi Valley and seven grass fires in Santa Paula were attributed to fireworks last year, authorities said.
Fireworks also generate hundreds of noise complaints around the holiday.
Officials around the county are encouraging residents to go to the local professional fireworks shows. And most departments are dedicating extra resources to finding individuals who flout fireworks regulations.
Turn in violators
The cities of Simi Valley and Oxnard have set up fireworks hotlines. Both cities are asking residents to phone in tips about neighbors planning illegal fireworks displays and those who have previously violated fireworks rules.
Police in both cities say they plan to visit "potential violators" to educate them about the dangers of fireworks and the fines, which can reach $1,000.
"We're just trying to warn them ahead of time before they get into a situation where (they) have to be fined or cited or arrested," said Sgt. Jeff Dominick of the Simi Valley Police Department. "We're not trying to pick on anyone."
Simi Valley's hotline received more than 45 calls during its first two weeks of operation, Dominick said.
Officers from Simi Valley's Special Forces Unit will be scouring the city for fireworks to seize and people to cite in the days leading up to the holiday. Last year, the department confiscated thousands of illegal fireworks and issued 34 citations. The average fine was $850.
Oxnard is doubling the number of officers who will work undercover July 4, said Cmdr. Mike Adair.
Last year, the department handed out $1,000 fines to 34 people for fireworks that fly, dart or explode, and $200 fines to 41 people for so-called safe and sane fireworks, Adair said. Safe and sane fireworks include sparklers, fountains and fireworks that smoke and spin.
The department believes fines are a bigger deterrent than confiscated fireworks, Adair said, so it's increasing the number of undercover officers in hopes of catching more fireworks users in the act.
The department also plans to eliminate access to part of Ormond Beach on July 4 by closing Arnold Road.
When police closed the road last year, they saved valuable man-hours because they didn't have to respond to calls of illegal fireworks on the beach, Adair said. The wetland environment at the beach also benefited from the decrease in holiday revelers, he said.
Felony for bottle rockets
As they have the two previous years, Santa Paula firefighters will search alongside plainclothes police for people using or possessing fireworks, said Assistant Chief Kevin Fildes of the Santa Paula Fire Department. The searches will begin this weekend and last five days instead of the normal three.
Anyone found with safe and sane fireworks will face fines of up to $1,000. Individuals found with other types of illegal fireworks, such as bottle rockets, will face felony charges of possessing destructive devices, Fildes said.
"With the drought, the brush is the driest it's ever been. We have to basically step up and try to curtail the use" of fireworks, he said.
In Port Hueneme, police are bumping up their July 4 staffing by about 10 officers, roughly the same number as last year, said Cmdr. Ken Dobbe. The emphasis will be on seizing fireworks.
Sheriff's deputies will also be out in force.
In addition to deputies staffing professional fireworks shows, a fire investigator will accompany a sheriff's deputy on patrol during the evening of July 4 to help identify possible risks and code infractions, said Capt. Jerry Hernandez.
In Moorpark, two extra patrol cars and a two-man bike patrol will bolster the sheriff's regular contingent on July 4. After the holiday, the bike patrol will be back to stay after a five-year absence, Hernandez said.
Don't Blow It'
Ventura fire personnel plan to be out enforcing fireworks regulations as well, but the city's efforts are oriented more toward education than action.
In an informational campaign called "Don't Blow It," the city is stressing the dangers of fireworks along with the $400 fine for possessing them. The city's fireworks brochure informs readers that about 10,800 people nationwide were treated for fireworks-related injuries at emergency rooms in 2005, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
The campaign also features a "distressed Dalmatian," which reminds residents to take their pets inside and make sure they are wearing current identification in case they become so frightened by fireworks they run away.
Ventura police will have four patrol units and a two-officer bicycle team on fireworks duty.
In Fillmore, fireworks labeled with the state fire marshal's safe and sane logo are legal from noon June 28 to noon July 5. But authorities are serious about enforcing regulations against all other fireworks, said Capt. Bruce Macedo of the Fillmore Police Department.
Anyone found using or possessing an illegal firework may be fined up to $1,000, he said. Last year, the department issued about 15 citations.
To enforce the prohibitions this year, a Fillmore police officer and a firefighter are scheduled to patrol the city for about a week before the holiday in search of people using or selling illegal fireworks.
The task is challenging in Fillmore because some fireworks are legal in the city, so some people think they can bring in all kinds of fireworks from other states and Mexico, Macedo said. That's a misunderstanding he wants to clear up.
"It's not a license to come out here and launch everything you've got," Macedo said.
