(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Leave it to a girl to give the best advice to the girls on The Voice. Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott was on the show earlier this week as a mentor for Adam Levine's singers. And while his advice was very ambiguous — telling the contestants to make the song floaty and triumphant but haunting — Scott's advice was pretty straightforward and very empowering. "You are you. And you're beautiful. And you deserve to be here," Scott said to Amber Carrington. "Own that." Ultimately, Carrington did own that as she won her battle round after singing a duet of Pink's "Try" with Sasha Allen. The song was chosen by Levine, but Scott told the singers why she loved it, as well. "One of the most beautiful things about this song is there's something so hypnotic about it," she said. "And wherever you are in your life, put yourself in that song."

Ricoh Supports KDE Printing Development
Printer manufacturer Ricoh USA, listening to the energetic advocating of their Linux engineer, has decided to provide Cristian Tibirna of the KDE printing development team with a professional RICOH CL4000DN colour laser printer. Thanks to this support the KDE printing development team will be able to do better tests of the new features in CUPS 1.2 and extend the degree of support in KDE Print for professional printing features which currently lack support by Free Software.
Ricoh's Linux engineer and driver developer George Liu said "What we want to do is support Linux printing, and KDE Print is the most successful printing environment." George has also initiated and advocated the contribution of a number of PPD drivers to LinuxPrinting.org.
It is a duty of honour to underline that the vast majority of the KDE Print
This is great. Printing support in linux can be a bit... troublesome. Each step makes an important difference. Lets hope that Ricoh continues with its support and perhaps send another printer of a different class :)
By Vlad Blanton at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Thanks to all!
Printing on KDE has been painless for me so far. My thanks to all, and I will continue to use and test it - I'm no developer so this is something I can do. ;)
By Shaman at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Cool! I'll keep this in mind when I buy my next printer - not just because I want to say "thanks" to Ricoh, but also because I want to be sure that I get a printer where I'm not limited to windows when I want to make full use of it.
By Shura at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Printer drivers for Linux
Is there a top or low-end printer manufacturer in the world offer printer drivers for Linux for their medium to top-end printers?
People want to switch to Linux because Linux can be made immune to viruses and all kind of malware including adware and popups, and the open source software is day by day getting better, now even better than some proprietary software. Software such as KDE, OpenOffice2, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus, etc. beginning shine and get everybody's attention.
But when we try to push Linux into corporates with all these benefits, we find hard, because question they ask is are there printer drivers for Linux for our printers? They want printer drivers from the printer manufacturer, not from any third party who do not even have access to the printer specs.
If printer drivers can be made for Mac which use CUPS, why not for Linux which use the very same CUPS? Both Linux and Mac OS X are Unix.
This was the case for display drivers some time back. No drivers from the display card manufacturer. But what happened, Nvidia released a driver suit for all of its chipsets, from low-end to very top-end for Linux without any discrimination. The driver suit is as quality as ones for Windows or Mac. So, what's the situation now, Nvidia is the market leader for Linux.
The printer manufacturer who pioneer printer drivers for Linux will definitely achieve market leadership in Linux as Nvidia achieved. The Linux community will gratefully promote your printer, as currently we do for Nvidia.

Re: Printer drivers for Linux
You can look at http://www.linuxprinting.org/
Some PPD files are directly from manufacturers.
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Re: Printer drivers for Linux
Some printer manufacturers do offer support for their printers on Linux. However, these are not CUPS drivers but rather GhostScript devices or GhostScript plugins. These can be used directly if you use LPR (which is not currently maintained). I presume that with the proper modified PPD file that you can use these with CUPS (with Foo-Matic).
The problem is that there are some very non-standard printers which are totally dependant on a Windows driver. These are usually inexpensive printers which IMHO are no bargain since there is no guarantee that you will even be able to use them on other versions of Windows.

1 of 2
There's 2 reasons I switched from Gnome to KDE way back in the v2 days, 1 was the file dialogs, the other was kprinter. Both were so far ahead of the competition and ubiquitous across the entire desktop, I couldn't see why anyone would choose to use anything else. Still believe it too, but they're not the only reasons I stay.
So add my thanks to Michael, and Ricoh now gets added to the list of recommended printers alongside HP and Epson. Now if only Canon would take note...

Re: 1 of 2
I'd also like to give a plug to Minolta. Their 2430DL is a non-postscript network color laser printer that has a quality open source driver for it.
By Joe Kowalski at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Re: 1 of 2
If you search something like kprinter for Gnome, have a look at gtklp. I tried both kprinter and gtklp and I have to say that gtklp offers for me more options than kprinter - especially with adjusting pages on a multi page print.
By Felix at Wed, 2005/10/26 - 5:00am
KPrinter is great, but...
Yeah, KPrinter is very powerful, but IMO it's UI is really scary, showing way too much CUPS options that Joe Average is never going to use. Look at the printing management, every context menu show exactly ALL the option that are already in the tool bar (and menu bar, they are all the same)...option that obviously aren't "in the context". Or answers about banners in the add printer wizard...how many people use this function to justify it's presence by default in a wizard? An tons of other little glitches that IMO ruins the best graphical frontend for CUPS on *nix.
By Davide Ferrari at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Re: KPrinter is great, but...
mmmh, sorry for the missing "s" here and there :P
By Davide Ferrari at Tue, 2005/10/25 - 5:00am
Thanks Ricoh!
Given the fact that all my home and work computers run Linux with KDE, being able to print from them easily is a must. If the cooperation between Ricoh, LinuxPrinting.org, and KDE Print yields good support for Ricoh printers, the next printers I'll buy will probably be made by Ricoh.

MYRIDE- Sheela Narayanan: 1985 Ford Taurus
Though fourth-year UVA student Sheela Narayanan has had her 1985 Ford Taurus for just under a month, she already feels an attachment to her ride.
"It's just like me, I guess," Narayanan says, "a little dinged up, and the antenna's bent in five places. But it's comfortable, and everything still works!"
Narayanan graduates in May, but this is her first semester with a car in Charlottesville.
"My parents wouldn't let me have one before, so this car is really a kind of personal victory for me," she says. "It's always nice to have a car in general, and having it now makes my last semester that much better."
And much more memorable.
"I've already gotten into a bit of trouble with it," she admits. "Like getting three tickets– illegal U-turn, speeding, and broken headlight– all at once."

A federal appeals court has thrown out an agreement between environmentalists and the federal government that restored protections for rare species in old growth forests.
The Thursday ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was a victory for the timber industry, which was shut out of talks leading to the agreement. The appeals court found that such a significant change in forest management has to go through a public process.
The ruling is the latest in long-running court battles over the Northwest Forest Plan, which cut logging by 90 percent on Northwest national forests to protect fish and wildlife.
Federal agencies had proposed throwing out a provision known as Survey and Manage, which required them to look for 400 species of rare plants and animals before logging.

My outfit pictures for today were a bit rubbish, But I'll show you my LLYMLRS necklace that my boyfriend bought me for my birthday! I'd thought I'd lost it way back, But I'd left it at the boyfriends house, then put it in my car and forgot about it! Its from Tatty Devine, and cost £27.50. Their Name Necklace range is amazing, and they have 4 different text styles, Mines all caps Billboard in Black with a silver chain!
Apart from being a sniffling wreck today, I've ran a few errands, sent all my ebay things off and tidied my bedroom. I'm absolutely aching from trying out the Power Plate at my local gym, I suppose the ache means its working right? I've also lost my phone, I think I must have left it on top of my car and driven off while I was at the post office. I keep calling it but no one seems to be answering. Although for all I know it could be somewhere in my bedroom because its on silent at the moment. I think its gone though, I don't remember picking it up or anything! Things really are not going my way at the moment unfortunately!
I just want to alert everyone to the fact that when Models Own gets 10,000 "likes" on their Facebook they are going to be doing a 50% off code for the whole website. And you all know Im a discount code junkie! So if you can be bothered to click a single button to save alot of people (and me!) some pennies, Please go over the to the Models Own Facebook page, and click "Like" I posted a few weeks ago my picks of the Models Own range! It would work out at 5 polishes for £9, Now thats less than my beloved Barry M! Seriously guys do it!

America is a land of diversity but it is widely acknowledged that, when it comes to culturally recognized accomplishments, much disparity still exists between the races in the actual world of business and, yes, of law. This gap begins in the education process, where "the diversity within law school graduation rates does not mirror population demographics," per a report for Diversity Insider by Sharon E. Jones, a lawyer and diversity consultant.
"For example," Jones explains, "Asians represent 7.9 % of law school graduates." That's not an accurate representation of their proportion in the general population, she notes, which is approximately 4.4%, per the American Bar Association. (Guide to ABA-A Law Approved Law Schools, 2008 Edition.)
"Correspondingly," she notes, "Blacks and Latinos are underrepresented from a population demographic point of view. Id. Following on the heels of these numbers, law firms which have hired associates of color have proceeded along the lines.
"According to NALP, for the largest firms in the country, the percentage of associates of color in 2009 was 19.7% (NALP, Law Firm Diversity Demographics, 2009).
Partners of color represented 6.1% of the partners in the largest firms in 2009 and women[-]of[-]color partners were 1.9% of all partners in 2009. Id."
In the corporate world, it's pretty much the same story. Jones comes up with figures that show that the 6.6% of racially diverse General Counsel closely tracks what's going on in law firms nationwide. (Law firms are trending at a figure of around 6.1% of partners of color.)
Interestingly—and a huge boon to the culture of diversity within both law and Corporate America—three Fortune 500 CEO's are lawyers of color.
The first two lawyers to claim that honor were: Kenneth Chenault, of American Express, which, according to its site, is "the premium network for high-spending cardmembers", and Clarence Otis, Jr., of Darden Restaurants, the company that owns all those Olive Garden chains. (Darden also own Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze and Seasons 52.)
Chenault and Otis, Jr. were most recently followed by a third African-American lawyer. In December of last year, Kenneth Frazier (pictured)–formerly president of the global healthcare leader, Merck–was tapped as CEO when the then-CEO stepped down and took the role of Chairman.
The Root had this to say about the appointment: "Naming a lawyer rather than a scientist as the head honcho has become commonplace at the Big Pharmas, [which] face increasing regulation, battles over health care reform, and litigation over patents and injury claims. Frazier was credited with engineering the multibillion-dollar settlement following the Vioxx recall."
"Although the number of racial and ethnic minority lawyers has been increasing, the pace has been extremely slow—some would say it has moved at a glacial pace," Attorney Jones of the Diversity Insider says.
But a glacial pace is still indicative of change…of a gradual thawing of die-hard traditions. That's progress. Upward trends—even when they're made with baby steps—go a long way towards forging a land of true diversity, with a legal culture of all-out inclusion.

It looks awesome, it looks really sweet next to Maul
the only problem is the scale
and we've seen worse scale probs before
I just appreciate that Hasbro finally bothered to make the infiltrator.
and the fact that it appears the front end fuselages don't completely seal at the nose of the ship. There's a small gap at the nose which is a bit bothersome to me. Has anyone else who owns the ship seen this happen on theirs?
I saw this, passed...I think it's a good toy, from what I've heard, but that's all... I think kids'll dig it though and adults who don't mind scale issues, which are the majority ultimately. We'd never have gotten anything remotely cloes to-scale on this. Put it at a $30 pricepoint and you still couldn't get close to-scale guys, so it's not worth even debating... It wouldn't have happened. There's far worse too... Falcon comes to mind. It's not proportional or remotely to-scale. The AT-AT, Rebel Transport, Shuttle (it's really underscaled, trust me), AT-ST's grossly out of scale (I'd say %-wise it's as off as the Infiltrator actually), the Y-Wing's a little closer to it's scale size but it's still way off obviously... There are worse or equally bad out there obviously.
See I don't think it would have done well at all at the $30 pricepoint myself. I think it may warm enough as is at the $20 price. Obviously it would have done great around the time Ep1 came out, but oh well.

TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Advances in medical science have made it easier than ever to lower dangerous cholesterol levels.
A class of cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins have proven particularly effective, reducing the risk for heart-related death by as much as 40 percent in people who have already suffered a heart attack, said Dr. Vincent Bufalino, president and chief executive of Midwest Heart Specialists and a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
"People have said we need them in the drinking water because they are just so effective in lowering cholesterol," Bufalino said.
But he and other doctors warn that when it comes to controlling cholesterol and enjoying overall health, nothing beats lifestyle changes, such as a heart-friendly diet and regular exercise.
"Once we became a fast-food generation, it's just too easy to order it at the first window, pick it up at the second window and eat it on the way to soccer," Bufalino said. "We need to get you to change now or you're going to end up as one of these statistics."
Folks with high cholesterol often are overweight, and if they deal with their cholesterol through medication only, they leave themselves open to such other chronic health problems as diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis, said Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
The thought of controlling cholesterol solely through medication is "an unfortunate point of view," Lichtenstein said. "There are a lot of other factors, especially when it comes to body weight, that the medications won't help. The idea that 'I'll just take medications' isn't a very healthy option, especially for the long term."
That point of view seems to be bolstered by new evidence that using cholesterol-lowering drugs won't necessarily help a person who hopes to avoid heart disease.
British researchers who pooled and re-analyzed data from 11 cardiovascular studies found that taking statins did not reduce cardiac deaths among people who had not developed heart disease.
The finding has been questioned, however, by some medical experts, who note that the research did find an overall reduction in cholesterol levels linked to statin use. "I have to tell you that belies a lot of the other science," Bufalino said of the study.
High cholesterol is strongly connected to cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Heart Association. Nearly 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day -- an average of one death every 38 seconds.
Cholesterol, which is a waxy substance, occurs naturally in the human body. In fact, the body produces about 75 percent of the cholesterol needed to perform important tasks, which include building cell walls, creating hormones, processing vitamin D and producing bile acids that digest fats, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The other 25 percent of a person's cholesterol is ingested in foods that are eaten.
But many people's diets include the wrong type of cholesterol. They eat foods loaded with saturated fats or trans fats, which increase levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the bloodstream.
LDL, the so-called "bad" cholesterol, forms plaques on the sides of artery walls, narrowing the arteries and forcing the heart to work harder to pump blood. Saturated fats are found in most animal products, and trans fats are found in processed foods that contain hydrogenated oils.
But other foods are rich in "good" cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It acts as the bloodstream's garbage truck by rounding up and hauling off some of the bad cholesterol.
These days, it's easier than ever to choose foods that contain lots of good cholesterol and little to no bad cholesterol, Lichtenstein said.
There are lots of healthy choices, including low-fat or nonfat dairy products, lean cuts of meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and grains, she said.
And for people who want to buy a processed food, the Nutrition Facts label on every product explicitly states the amount of fat it contains.
"From a consumer's perspective, it's easier than ever to restrict saturated fat and trans fatty acids," she said. "It's just a matter of doing it."
People also can lower their cholesterol by eating foods that contain lots of dietary fiber. Soluble fiber has been found to draw cholesterol out of the bloodstream, Bufalino said. Such foods, including oatmeal and whole-grain bread, are an important part of a cholesterol-fighting diet.
But beating cholesterol takes additional steps as well. Because high cholesterol is closely linked to being overweight or obese, losing pounds is critical -- as is keeping them off. And that means exercising as well as eating right.
Exercising as little as 30 minutes every day can reduce a person's risk for heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Even more exercise can help achieve greater weight loss.
The important thing is to remain dedicated to your own health, Bufalino said.
"People can be good with it for a while, but it's hard to stay disciplined all the time," he said. "We don't need folks to be perfect. If you can be good 80 to 90 percent of the time, that's great. That's all we need from people."

Norway's gift to the people of Washington for Christmas is sure to be a "scream.''
The Embassy of Norway is unveiling a Christmas tree Tuesday at Union Station for the 16th year. This year's tree is decorated with ornaments depicting Edvard Munch's "The Scream'' to mark the 150th anniversary of the Norwegian artist's birth.
A lighting is planned for Tuesday evening. Dozens of ornaments depicting "The Scream'' are interspersed with Norwegian and American flags on the tree.
The tree will be on display through December. It's considered a symbol of friendship between Norway and the United States and symbolizes Norway's gratitude for help during and after World War II.
Munch's "The Scream'' sold last year for a then-record $120 million and was the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction.

TriKota Development
TriKota is a package that wraps the library-mode use of Dakota, which is Sandia's Toolkit for Large-Scale Engineering Optimization and Uncertainty Analysis. For information on Dakota's capabilities, see http://www.cs.sandia.gov/dakota . Note that TriKota only wraps the library-mode usage of Dakota, and not the more common black-box mode where Dakota is run as an executable.
The main purposes of TriKota are to:
It is hoped that these steps will lower the software hurdles between the Trilinos and Dakota frameworks for both developers and users.
The TriKota build process requires an additional step compared to other packages in Trilinos: the Dakota source must be unpacked within TriKota. Internal to Sandia, the tarball of dakota can be downloaded from: https://development.sandia.gov/dakota/licensing/download.html
Dakota needs to be untarred within the TriKota directory. To verify the paths, make sure that the following file exists: trilinos-dir/packages/TriKota/Dakota/src/DakotaOptimizer.H
After that, just enable TriKota in the cmake build system for Trilinos with
-D Trilinos_ENABLE_TriKota:BOOL=ON \ -D TriKota_ENABLE_TESTS:BOOL=ON \
and do the usual "./cmake-script; make; make install;".
TriKota consists of two classes: TriKota::Driver and TriKota::DirectApplicInterface, and a test problem.
The TriKota::Driver class wraps the library-mode usage of Dakota into two simple steps. The constructor parses the dakota input file and initializes the Dakota (e.g. strategy, model, problem). The run method takes as input an object of Dakota's DirectApplicInterface class, and performs the requested analysis.
The TriKota::DirectApplicInterface class is an adapter between the Trilinos and Dakota interfaces to codes. This class inherits from Dakota's DirectApplicInterface class so it can be passed to the TriKota::Driver::run method. It is constructed with an EpetrExt::ModelEvaluator, which is a standard Trilinos interface to codes. Note: the initial guess for the problem parameters are taken from the ModelEvaluator and overwrite any initial guess from the dakota input file.
The test problem Simple_Main.cpp shows the use case for taking a problem that presents itself as a EpetrExt::ModelEvaluator, and uses Dakota to solve an optimiztion problem. This example allows for Dakota to pick the MPI_Comm during the TriKota::Driver constructor, and the application (presenting itself as an EpetrExt::ModelEvaluator) is constructed using this communicator.
TriKota was put together by Andy Salinger using lots of code, ideas, and consulting by Brian Adams, Mike Eldred, Eric Phipps, and Ross Bartlett. While the code is built and tested nightly, a very small subset of use cases have been tried out as of the Trilinos 10.0 Release.

A land rights watchdog group says the number of rural activists killed in the country rose 10 percent from 2011 to 2012, with most deaths occurring in the Amazon forest region.
The Catholic Land Pastoral group said in a report Monday that illegal logging and the resulting conflicts were responsible for the majority of the 32 murders of local activists in Brazil last year.
November saw the greatest number of killings. There were six deaths in Para state and seven in Rondonia state. Both are at the center of disputes involving illegal loggers.
Those killed for denouncing illegal logging included Dinhana Nink, a 28-yer-old mother killed in front of her 5-year-old son, and Joao da Silva Kaxarari, who denounced wood trafficking on indigenous land.

Assessing and Mitigating Disclosure Risk: Essentials for Social Science
Disclosure risk - the risk of data subjects being reidentified in shared data - is of concern to all those involved in collecting, using, and distributing social science data. What constitutes risk? How is risk addressed?
First, this course will address the importance of public-use file: the file from which much of the utility of a data collection is extracted and the file which often becomes the historical record of a data collection. Also included in this introductory segment will be a historical perspective on risk and the value and significant uses of secondary data.
Next, the course will cover ways respondent confidentiality can be protected in shared files, including when files are shared publicly. In this segment, how to assess and mitigate disclosure risk will be addressed, and tools developed at ICPSR to assess and document risk will be reviewed. Elements of a disclosure analysis will be discussed, as will disclosure protection (statistical disclosure control, SDC) measures commonly used to create public-use data files. Examples of public-use files created from restricted-use data, steps that can be taken early in the research process to optimize distribution options, and methods of distributing restricted-use data when public-use files cannot be created will also be covered. Examples of disclosure work from ICPSR will be used to illustrate disclosure risk and protection methods.
A third segment will include ways data can be shared when public-use files cannot be created, including via restricted online analysis systems with programmed disclosure controls. Finally, results from the National Survey of Researcher (NSR), which included a national sample of NIH and NSF awardees will be used to demonstrate the extent to which researchers share data, how they share, and the relationship between data sharing and knowledge and use of disclosure protection methods. A test will be available for participants desiring certification for having completed the course. Participants may bring examples of disclosure risk problems to class for discussion. Links to source documents and resources will be provided.
This course is designed for social scientists, information scientists, and others interested in becoming more conversant regarding disclosure risk and analysis, including learning about the components of a disclosure analysis.
Fee: Members = $1400; Non-members = $2800

CALGARY — Calgarians are outraged over a sign at a karaoke bar saying Japanese patrons won't be served, calling the notice sick and racist.
The sign references an ongoing dispute between Japan and China over the ownership of a cluster of islands, known in Japan as Senkaku and in China as Diaoyu.
Written in bright Chinese characters, the sign translates to: "Diaoyu Islands belong to China. Temporarily not serving Japanese people."
But a manager at the Beltline business said the sign was written as a drunken prank and not meant to exclude or offend anyone.
First-time patron Thomas, who did not want his last name published, said he snapped a photo of the sign Saturday around 10 p.m. at Lips KTV and Club karaoke at 1130 10th Ave. S.W.
He and a group of friends headed to the karaoke club after a birthday dinner. It was their first visit, said the 20-year-old Calgarian. Upon seeing the sign at the front desk, the group promptly left in disgust.
"This is racism and discrimination," he added. "To see something happen like this in Calgary is completely wrong."
The photo later surfaced on online forum Reddit, generating comments from horrified users who raised human rights concerns.
On Lips karaoke's Facebook profile on Wednesday was written "see above," referring to a similarly discriminatory comment by another user. The post was captured in a screen shot and ended up on Twitter. The Facebook posts were later removed.
Rocky Oishi, past-president of the Calgary Japanese Community Association, said he was surprised to hear about the sign.
Discrimination against Japanese people was prevalent after the Second World War, but in his own personal experience, such incidents have been rare, he said.
"It's the owner's loss. If they don't admit certain customers, it's their loss because the patrons will go elsewhere," Oishi said.
Tensions have been mounting between Japan and China as the fight continues over ownership of the islands, sparking mass protests, according to international media reports.
But Ken Lee, president of the Calgary Chinese Merchants Association, said this is the first he's heard of the land dispute brought up as an issue in Calgary.
"It's a hard topic in Asia. I'm surprised to hear that they have a sign like that, especially from a business point of view," Lee said. "I don't think it's appropriate."
He said he worries about what tourists would think if they walked into a business displaying such messages.
"We want to show them Calgary is a very diverse, multicultural place."
One karaoke club employee, Andy Wang, said he first thought the sign might have been doctored on Photoshop and posted online. Another employee, JJ Yang, confirmed the message existed, possibly scrawled by patrons when no one was looking, adding it was eventually erased by staff.
But a manager, who didn't want her name published for security reasons, said she wrote the sign as a joke while singing, off duty, with some Japanese customers.
She said she was drunk when she jotted down the message but forgot to erase it. Nobody reported the sign to staff, she said, adding most of the customers are regulars who don't usually pay attention to the notice board.
"We are so sorry about that. This is an accident," she said. "I didn't mean it."
She said the business regularly welcomes Japanese customers, and that they would never turn anyone away based on ethnicity.
She denied knowing anything about the deleted Facebook message. But she said she may take to the social media site to offer an explanation and issue an apology.

Video games and the consoles we play them on may use a significant amount of materials. But even when going digital, it seems we can't get away from the waste.
Reddit user firstmarker ordered a PS Vita memory card. The Vita is a handheld. Memory cards for it are not large. And little tiny memory cards are a great way to store dozens of digitally-distributed games. No fuss, no waste, no physical space. Should be easy!
Or, you know, not. Overkill on packaging is nothing too unusual in the world of online ordering, but for something as tiny and durable as an SD card, that is a rather impressive waste of space.

Communication Overview
Video courtesy of Dynavox (http://www.dynavoxtech.com)
According to the official statement from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association,
"A communication disorder is an impairment in the ability to receive, send, process, and comprehend concepts or verbal, nonverbal and graphic symbol systems. A communication disorder may be evident in the processes of hearing, language, and/or speech. A communication disorder may range in severity from mild to profound. It may be developmental or acquired. Individuals may demonstrate one or any combination of communication disorders. A communication disorder may result in a primary disability or it may be secondary to other disabilities.
A. A speech disorder is an impairment of the articulation of speech sounds, fluency and/or voice.
1. An articulation disorder is the atypical production of speech sounds characterized by substitutions, omissions, additions or distortions that may interfere with intelligibility.
2. A fluency disorder is an interruption in the flow of speaking characterized by atypical rate, rhythm, and repetitions in sounds, syllables, words, and phrases. This may be accompanied by excessive tension, struggle behavior, and secondary mannerisms.
3. A voice disorder is characterized by the abnormal production and/or absences of vocal quality, pitch, loudness, resonance, and/or duration, which is inappropriate for an individual's age and/or sex.
B. A language disorder is impaired comprehension and/or use of spoken, written and/or other symbol systems. The disorder may involve (1) the form of language (phonology, morphology, syntax), (2) the content of language (semantics), and/or (3) the function of language in communication (pragmatics) in any combination.
1. Form of Language
a. Phonologyis the sound system of a language and the rules that govern the sound combinations.
b. Morphologyis the system that governs the structure of words and the construction of word forms.
c. Syntaxis the system governing the order and combination of words to form sentences, and the relationships among the elements within a sentence.
2. Content of Language
a. Semanticsis the system that governs the meanings of words and sentences.
3. Function of Language
a. Pragmaticsis the system that combines the above language components in functional and socially appropriate communication."1
"There are many individuals who are unable to use speech as their primary method of communication. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (1991) estimated that there were more than 2 million individuals in the United States who were unable to communicate using speech or had severe communication impairments... These individuals need to use other methods of communication inorder to interact with their environment. The term augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is used to define these other communication methods. AAC ranges from use of gestures, sign languages, and facial expressions, to the use of alphabet or picture symbol boards, and even sophisticated computer systems with synthesized speech." 2

As I ready myself for the home opener (i.e. paint my face and put on my Twins unitard), I replayed the final play of the Twins/White Sox series several times to figure out, you know, just what the hell happened. Here is a list of things that should be noteworthy as the play unfolded:
(1) Juan Pierre has a historically bad arm. Last year his arm was -2 runs defensive (10th worst in MLB). According to the Fans Scouting Report at InsideTheBook.com, Pierre's arm strength rating of 1.3 (out of 5) was the second-worst among left fielders, ahead of only Johnny Damon. Given the play deep against the USCellular wall, Pierre has to make (1a) a very strong throw and (1b) a very accurate throw.
(2) The infield defense was pulled around to the right for the Thome shift. Not a lot of teams work on cut offs from this alignment. If anything, you could bet there would be some sort of defensive breakdown under a scenario like that. The shortstop, Alexi Ramirez, who was supposed to be the cut on a ball hit to left field, was actually near center field. The third baseman, Mark Teahan, broke for third base then back out to the outfield to position himself for a cut. "I've never been on a team where the third baseman was the relay man in left-center," Hardy said. "That's what's weird about it."
Ullger admitted that he was not focused on Teahan, he was looking at (3) Alexi Ramirez, the designated cut-off man in that situation, who for the record, has what is considered an inaccurate arm. The human fungo bat committed six throwing errors last year and was scouted by the fans as having a 2.6 rating for arm accuracy. That, coupled with being completely out-of-position, makes it easier to keep that arm windmilling around for Hardy.
Only it wasn't Ramirez who was fielding the relay, it was Mark Teahan and (4) Teahan has an absolute rocket for an arm. So now, 120 feet away from home plate, Teahan is lining up to receiving a cut from Pierre. At this point, Hardy is just about to round third when it is apparent that Pierre's throw will reach Teahan and not careen off into the stands or skip up to him. Ullger can see this. It is developing right in front of him. Only, he's looking towards Ramirez who is nowhere near the throw. Teahan fields it cleanly right as Hardy is pushing off third base and readies a throw to home. Reviewing the video, it is clear this is the point where Ullger realizes what has actually happened and wanders on to the playing surface (I thought he was going to try for the interception).
All this should probably be moot because (5) JJ Hardy is not fast. Still, with two outs, how isn't Hardy already rounding second by the time the ball lands? Is he THAT slow? Truthfully, he might be. He's gone from first to home on just a handful of occasions in his career. He doesn't steal bases. According to the BillJamesOnline.net player profile, Hardy's running skills are in the 11th percentile. That's slow. At the same time, Thome's shot was on a rope so it is hard to get up to speed as quickly as the ball traveled (not to mention, Pierre was playing just a few steps short of the warning track anyways).
But at the same time (6) Nick Punto was due up next. Coming into the game, Punto was 2-for-12 and a 1-for-4 lifetime hitter off of Bobby Jenks. With just Alexi Casilla – who was going to have to go in for Thome in the event of a tie – and Drew Butera remaining on the bench, there was no other option to face Jenks with two outs. In retrospect, yeah, letting Punto have a shot at driving in one or more runs wasn't such a bad option.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Little Rock, launched a preemptive strike Wednesday to protect military commissaries from the budget axe.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Little Rock, launched a preemptive strike Wednesday to protect military commissaries from the budget axe.
Griffin filed legislation that would essentially prohibit the Department of Defense from closing or reducing operations of commissary stores and exchanges on military installations within the U.S. through President Obama's second term.
Griffin says it would be a "poke in the eye" to military families to reduce their grocery benefit.
"Our military men and women rely on commissaries and exchanges on base to be convenient providers of essential, affordable groceries for their families," he said.
The Pentagon reportedly has asked the Defense Commissary Agency for a plan to close all stateside base grocery stores as part of its budget planning for 2015. The report, published on Military.com in November, also cautioned that the Obama administration may be reluctant to include such a cut in the budget it delivers to Congress in early March.
Last August, Obama told Marines at Camp Pendleton that closing commissaries is "not how a great nation should be treating its military and military families."
The Washington Post also reported in June on the difficulty of cutting defense spending, citing the backlash that occurred three years earlier when a member of a Pentagon advisory board proposed shutting down the commissaries.
Letters of protest from lawmakers, veterans groups and others flooded into then Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who quickly called in members of the Defense Business Board urging them to drop the idea.
But Commissary Agency Director Joseph H. Jeu said in November that there are no sacred cows when it comes to looking for budget savings.
"Nothing, including commissaries, is off the table," he told members of a House Armed Services panel.
Jeu stressed that commissaries are one of the most valued non-pay benefits for military personnel. Prices average about 30 percent lower at commissaries than civilian supermarkets – saving the average military family of four nearly $4,500 a year.
House members on the panel did not appear eager to have commissaries closed at military bases around the nation.

Most people can agree on what Santa Claus looks like---jolly, with a red suit and a white beard. But he didn't always look that way, and Coke advertising actually helped shape the modern day image of Santa.
2006 marked the 75th anniversary of the famous Coca-Cola Santa Claus. Starting in 1931, magazine ads for Coca-Cola featured St. Nick as a kind, jolly man in a red suit. Because magazines were so widely viewed, and because this image of Santa appeared for more than three decades, the image of Santa most people have today is largely based on their advertising.
|1931 Coke Santa Ad
Before the 1931 introduction of the Coke Santa Claus, created by artist Haddon Sundblom, the image of Santa ranged from big to small and fat to tall. Santa even appeared as an elf and looked a bit spooky.
Through the centuries, Santa has been depicted as everything from a tall gaunt man to an elf. He has worn a bishop's robe and a Norse huntsman's animal skin. The modern day Santa is a combination of a number of the stories from a variety of countries.
|Santa Claus, 1936
The Civil War cartoonist, Thomas Nast, drew Santa Claus for Harper's Weekly in 1862, Santa was shown as a small elf-like figure who supported the Union. Nast continued to draw Santa for 30 years and along the way changed the color of his coat from tan to the now traditional red. Though some people believe the Coca-Cola Santa wears red because that is the Coke color, the red suit comes from Nast's interpretation of St. NIck.
The Coca-Cola Company began the Christmas advertising in the 1920's with shopping related ads in magazines like The Saturday Evening Post. The first Santa ad used a strict-looking Claus, in the vein of Thomas Nast.
|Santa, 1937
At this time, many people thought of Coke as a drink only for warm weather. The Coke Company began a campaign to remind people that Coke was a great choice in any month. This began with the 1922 slogan "Thirst Knows No Season", and continued with a campaign connecting a true icon of winter---Santa Claus---with the beverage.
In 1930, artist Fred Mizen painted a department store Santa in a crowd drinking a bottle of Coke. The ad featured the world's largest soda fountain, which was located in the department store of Famous Barr Co. in St. Louis, Mo. Mizen's painting was used in print ads that Christmas season, appearing in The Saturday Evening Post in December 1930.
|Santa, 1938
Archie Lee, the D'Arcy Advertising Agency executive working with The Coke Company, wanted the next campaign to show a wholesome Santa as both realistic and symbolic. In 1931, The Coke commissioned Michigan born illustrator Haddon Sundblom to develop advertising images using Santa Claus--showing Santa himself, not a man dressed as Santa, as Mizen's work had portrayed. him.
For inspiration, Sundblom turned to Clement Clark Moore's 1822 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas", or what it's commonly known to day as "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Moore's description of St. Nick led to an Image of Santa that was warm, friendly, pleasantly plump and human. For the next 33 years, Sundblom painted portraits of Santa-an interpretation that today lives on in the minds of people of all ages, all over the world.
|Haddon Sundblom, 1931
|Haddon Sundblom, some 30 years later
From 1931 to 1964, Coke advertising showed Santa delivering (and playing!) with toys, pausing to read a letter and enjoy a Coke, playing with children who stayed up to greet him and raiding the refrigerator's at a number of homes. The original oil paintings Sundblom created were adapted for Coke advertising in magazines, store displays, billboards, posters, calendars, and even plush dolls. Many of those items today are popular collectibles.
The Coke Santa made its debut in 1931, in The Saturday Evening Post and appeared regularly in that magazine, as well as Ladies Home Journal, National Geographic, The New Yorker and others. The instantly popular ad campaign appeared each season, reflecting the times. One ad even featured Santa in a rocket!
|Santa, 1941
Sundblom continued to create new visions of Santa through 1964. For decades after, Coke advertising has featured Santa's image based on Sundblom's original works.
These original paintings by Haddon Sundblom are some of the most prized pieces in the art collection of the Coke Company's Archives Department, and have been on exhibit around the world, including at the Louvre in Paris, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the Isetan Department Store in Tokyo and the NK Department Store in Stockholm.
|Santa, 1951
The Coca-Cola Santa has had a powerful, enduring quality that continues to resonate today. Many of the original paintings can be seen on display at "World of Coca-Cola" in Atlanta, Ga. or touring during the holiday season.
Did You Know?
People loved the Coke Santa images and paid such close attention to them, that when anything changed, they sent letter to The Coke Company. One year, Santa's large belt was backwards. Another year, Santa appeared without a wedding ring, causing fans to write asking what happened to Mrs. Claus.
In the beginning, artist Haddon Sundblom painted the image of Santa using a live model-his friend Lou Prentiss, a retired salesman. When Prentiss passed away, Sundblom, used himself as a model, painting while looking into a mirror. After the 1930's, he used photographs to create the image of St. Nick.
The children who appear with Santa Claus in Haddon Sundblom's paintings wee based on Sundblom's neighbors. However, the neighbors were both girls, and Sundblom simply changed one to a boy in his paintings. He also used the neighborhood florist's dog, a gray poodle in one of his paintings, but painted the animal with black fur. To make the dog stand out in the holiday scene.
Santa, 1953
The image of Santa Claus has appeared on cartons for bottles of Coke since 1931, when artist Haddon Sundblom first created his version of St. Nick. Early cartons completely covered the bottles of Coke--almost as if they were inside a box--and had a handle at the very top. The carton itself was created--and patented--by the Coca-Cola system. Introduced in 1923, it allowed people to take home more bottle of Coke.
The Coke Polar Bear stars with Santa on the 2006 advertising for the U.S. Hispanic market. The Coke Polar Bear was introduced in 1993 as part of the "Always Coca-Cola" campaign. The first commercial featuring the bear showed was called "Northern Lights" and showed a group of bears watching a "movie" (the Aurora borealis) and drinking from bottles of Coke.
|Santa and Spriteboy
The "Sprite Boy" character, who appeared with Santa and was used in Coke advertising in the 1940's and 50's, was also created by artist Haddon Sundblom. Though the Coke Company does have a drink called Sprite. The Sprite Boy character was not named for the beverage. Sprite Boy's name came because he is a sprite--an elf. Sprite Boy first appeared in ads in 1942, while the drink Sprite was no introduced until the 1960's.
In 2001, the artwork from Haddon Sundblom's 1962 original painting was used as the basis for an animated TV commercial staring the Coke Santa. The ad was created by Academy Award-winning animator Alexandre Petrov.

Hey guys, so this is going to be a bit of an extensive post, but as such, I'll do my best to organize it. Here's the setup I'm running right now. I've got a 1995 GMC Yukon with ECU 16197427. I have a custom tune from Wester's garage to run the 4L80e I swapped in place of my stock 4L60e (wires were re-pinned so that the connector at the ECM is the same as a stock 4L80e truck). I'm also running an older (autorotor) style Whipple supercharger. I have the larger pulley on it for now, so it's making minimal boost. I have an Aeromotive AFPR set to handle fuel pressure (boost regulated), and I'm running 91 octane with plugs that are 1 heat range cooler to prevent detonation. Motor's got 216k on the clock, unrebuilt.
On to my plan. Eventually, I'd like to rebuild the motor to be a full hydraulic roller with some better heads (probably iron eagles). I also have an Edelbrock MPFI intake that I really want to get put on this thing, better fueling and able to tune it more precisely. So I have the following questions:
1. From what I've read, the current EBL Flash does not support the e-trans. Is this right? Is this possibly going to change anytime soon, or do you have to run 2 separate ECU's?
2. Also, I have a lifetime re-tune with Wester's, and as long as the trans tables stay the same, then the engine control portion would be able to be burned from my PC via ALDL cable, correct? The Memcal would control the trans, but wouldn't need to be removed for tuning of the engine?
3. These TBI injectors are low impedance "peak-and-hold" style, correct? And according to your site, I would be able to run high-impedance injectors, but would you recommend the Port Mod or the 4-injector upgrade? Seems like the Port mod would be better since I'm looking at batch fire of 8 high-impedance injectors.
I appreciate any help you guys can give me. I've tried to do as much research on my own as I can, but sometime you just gotta ask a question (or three ). I'm sure I'll have more questions later. This seems to be my best option for controlling the motor with this MPFI intake.
And yes, before anyone asks, I DO realize an LS-swap would've been cheaper and easier. I like to be different, ok?

GIMME SHELTER- Damp damage: Control that moisture
Corin Major, Airflow Diagnostics Institute
Q: I'm worried about moisture damage to my home. My basement is damp, and I've noticed some of my walls have been sweating. What can I do?
A: Given that water and moisture are among the leading causes of property damage, it's worth nipping a moisture problem in the bud. Not long ago, we discovered a very small leak in a homeowner's bath/shower drain that had gone undetected for years. The moisture had saturated the floor joists, and mold had deteriorated the wood so badly that the bath/shower was about ready to drop through the floor. Needless to say, even a small bit of moisture intrusion can have a disastrous effect over time.
If you have a moisture problem, whether in your walls, floor, crawl spaces, or basement, the first step is finding the source. Leaky faucets or drains can be heard and will sometimes form water stains on ceilings and walls. If you suspect a leak, have a plumber check for it immediately.
Moisture problems behind walls and in crawl spaces can also be caused by leaky ducts in your cooling system. When cool air blows through the leaks, it creates pockets of condensation in the same way a bottle of water from your fridge sweats when you leave it out on a humid day. In this case, you'll need to make sure the ductwork for your cooling system is airtight.
If you have a damp basement, it's almost always caused by water intrusion from the outside; from poor grading on your property or improper downspouts on your roof that don't direct water away from the house. If you have an older house, there may also be an improper moisture barrier around the base of your concrete foundation. You may need to install drain pipe around the perimeter to facilitate the flow of water away from the house.
I also recommend professional mold testing to determine if you have toxic or allergen molds. Once it's detected, a professional can remove airborne and surface molds.
Since Charlottesville experiences up to 80 percent average humidity in the warmer months, getting a high-efficiency dehumidifier might be a good idea as well. If you do decide to get one, consider a commercial-size unit, as the ones available at home and garden stores simply don't have the capacity to remove an adequate amount of moisture.

Rihanna and Drake Call It Quits
Say it isn't so. After their whirlwind romance in Europe earlier this year, it appears that Rihanna and Drake may have broken up -- again.
This bit of news shouldn't be a shocker since the pair have been dating on and off since 2009. According to Us Weekly, RiRi and Drizzy called it quits after having a heated argument.
"Rihanna and Drake had another fight," said a source. "He is too in love with her, which has always been the problem. They have been fighting, but that could all change any day now. It is how it always is with them."
After a few months of separation, the 'Take Care' couple rekindled their romance in Paris in February. In March, while the Toronto rapper was on his European tour, the pair were inseparable. The 'Stay' singer reportedly spent every single night with Drake, who catered to her every whim.
Recently, Rihanna threw a post-Met Gala bash in New York and Drake was nowhere to be found. A source confirmed to Us Weekly that they are "currently on yet another break."
Although Drake and Rihanna have called it quits, we hope that the Grammy-winning couple can find love in a hopeless place.

HP clearly thinks there's still mileage in the netbook - many of its rivals don't - at the very least as a business device. It has launched a new model, the Mini 1104, to prove it.
Unlike consumer-centric netbooks, the 1104 runs Windows 7 Home Premium rather than Starter Edition.
But the spec is otherwise netbook standard: 1.6GHz Intel Atom N2600 CPU; 2GB of DDR 3 memory; 320GB, 5400rpm hard drive; Intel GMA 3600 CPU-integrated graphics; 10.1in, 1024 x 600 display.
It also comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi - in a rare moment of generosity, this one comes with support for the 5GHz band - and Bluetooth 3.0. There's a 100Mbps Ethernet port, and three USB 2.0 jacks.
In the States, prices start at $399 (£257). As yet, there's no world on a UK release, but it won't be far off, we think. ®

TLC in town: A Makeover Story visits Charlottesville
[Note: please also read our makeover essay on page 55.–ed.]
Makeover madness has been sweeping the country, and now it's blowing right into town. A Makeover Story, a lunchtime staple of The Learning Channel, will bring two Charlottesville women and several local businesses into living rooms across the country.
Victoria and Sahara Muradi, Afghani sisters whose family moved to America from their war-torn nation in 1982, beat out hordes of entries for the makeover show that receives 1,000 applications every week, according to Erin Sullivan, an assistant producer for the show.
What set the Muradis apart?
A good story, for starters. Sahara, 17, moved in with her big sister so she could finish high school (their parents move frequently for their father's job). Victoria, 26, a graduate of Smith and Harvard, has an impressive job as assistant dean of admissions for UVA.
"They're extremely attractive," says Sullivan. Still, the show felt they'd be able to transform each of them. Adding to the sisters' appeal, she says, was the opportunity to do both a makeover and a make-under.
Producers thought that older sis Victoria needed more color in her wardrobe while Sahara, who'll be a senior at Monticello High School this fall, needed to dress a little younger and simplify her style.
"She was taking two hours to get ready for school," Victoria says.
Producers settled on Eloise, an upscale boutique on Water Street, to dress both sisters, and on Saturday, July 26, the store closed for the day to accommodate the shoot.
Creating the show is a three-day process that Victoria calls "exhausting, but really fun."
First, the women were filmed in their "natural habitat," to show what their lives are like and examine their beauty routines.
The next step? Selecting an outfit. Since the show concludes with the "big reveal," when the makeover recipients see each other and viewers see the final result– the Muradi sisters took turns at Eloise so they wouldn't know what the other selected. Each tried on six to eight outfits, and four per woman were selected to air on television.
Sunday, July 27, was hair and makeup day at Vanity Salon, and as Sullivan notes, that's where things can get tricky.
"People are so attached to their hair," she says. Although Sullivan claims there's never been a "bad big reveal," she concedes there can be a few moments of shock when the makeover subjects first catch a glimpse of their dyed and plied locks.
In this case, both women gave up nearly a foot of hair but Victoria says she and her sister were thrilled with their new chin-length bobs.
The final portion of the show gives the made-over twosome a chance to show off their new look. Friends and family gathered Sunday night for a housewarming party at Victoria's new home. The evening affair marked the first time in three days anyone had been able to see the two.
"The whole 'reveal' process is that no one has any clue what you look like," Victoria says. "It was a little difficult, but once we came out, it made everything much more dramatic."
The Muradi's "Story" will likely air on TLC in December.

I'm no art connoisseur, but as a kid I dreamt of becoming a famous artist. Much to my grandmother's chagrin, I would scatter fabric paint all over her antique coffee table and create a "masterpiece,†as I called it, or "huge mess,†as she saw it.
It was a childhood phase that didn't last very long, but art and the attempt to create it is a pastime I've always respected and enjoyed – and one I was quickly reminded of last weekend when I visited the Speed Art Museum's new exhibit, Renoir to Chagall: Paris and the Allure of Color.
The art exhibition, organized by the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tenn. and the Speed Art Museum, features more than 80 paintings by renowned French Impressionists and Post-Impressionsts, as well as artists who came before and after their time.
Such virtuosos include Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri Mattise, who crafted vivid portraits, landscapes and still life scenes of daily life in Paris and other locales in Europe.
As I walked through the gallery, I was captivated by the color. Though some of the paintings were a bit confusing and even looked like something I was capable of drawing, the bright, bold hues and swift brush strokes brought both abstract and concrete meaning to each work.
I'm not one to interpret art, but I certainly felt a sense of longing and excitement peering at the seascapes of Venice and murals of children celebrating on the street or sitting peacefully in a vibrant garden in France.
Each image had a piece of life easily detected inside the stillness of the painting and drew a feeling of nostalgia of a time long ago I could only experience through the eyes of an artist.
When I was a kid, I usually threw a fit when I was forced to visit a museum, but at the Speed I suddenly realized the fascination so many people develop for artwork.
The experience was calm and relaxing and a bit inspirational as well. Walking from painting to painting, I could picture myself in each of the scenes, whether it was the portrait of a ballet dancer, women dancing at a ball or children sitting on a gondola drifting through Italy.
A swift stroll through the world of Europe represented by color was enough to leave me looking to book a quick vacation to France. As the gallery culminated with an illustration of a man riding a horse through Paris, I felt a smile stretch across my face as I fantasized of a trip to the City of Light and reminisced of my childhood when I believed I, too, would create a masterpiece worthy of hanging in an art museum.
Renoir to Chagall: Paris and the Allure of Color is open now through May 6. For more information, visit www.speedmuseum.org.

On RHEL5.2 (bash 2.3.25) I can cd `pwd`/[TAB] and pwd is substituted into my current working directory, using the output of pwd(1).
How can I achieve the same functionality in Ubuntu 9.10 (bash 4.0.33).
I have read previous questions that refer to backticks as being old and deprciated. I didn't know this. I can understand nesting them can be difficult, and I use ${} is scripts, but I would like to be able to evaluate commands interactively in the shell.
