Race: Elf
Profession: Thief
Weapon of Choice: Blackwood Bow of Magpie, El Paco Dagger
People of SouthParkia call him "Viral the Fox", "Viral the Greedy", or "Viral Monster", which is corrupted name of his elven Clan, but most of them refer to him as "That Damn Thief".
He wass the leader of Blackwood Marauders, notorious band of highwaymen, living in forests of South-East Southparkia, until he was caught by guards, but then freed by the order of Chancelor Eggyslavius, who invited Viral into the CoSP.... As a notorious thief, Viral is a controversial character, some, like Sir Floinki, or Mattieu Benefactor despise him, yet Sox Kidd, Dhog'zillah, and Kenneth the Dead quite admire his dexterity, charisma, and agility. Viral doesn't get involved in battles, he's more a scout and saboteur, with his trusty Blackwood bow, variety of magic arrows in hand, and his familiar Fudge the lucky rabbit, he depends more on his sneaking and lockpicking skills, and if they fail he tries to salvage himself with his rogueish charm, distraction, and quick getaway. Recently, Viral has mysteriously gone from Southparkia. There were many theories about his disapearance, his enemies say he abandoned CoSP, his friends say he had to return to Blackwood because the forces of evil have taken over his homeland. Some even say he was killed by bounty hunters, who were hired by notorious renegade, Jareen II 1/2... Fortunately, Viral Came back to Southparkia, he even brought some precious loot with him, yet he doesn't want to say where he has been, nor what he was doing....

Winter weather boosts body shop business
Black ice could also prompt new wrecks overnight
People at an Olathe body shop said Wednesday morning's burst of winter weather brought a lot of business their way.
"Our saying that we tell people a lot is, 'I'm sorry you had to come see us. I know you didn't want to come here,'" said Curt Kellogg of McCarthy Collision Center.
He said the business had at least a dozen new customers as a result of the snowstorm during the morning commute.
"Some of it's just little fender-benders, maybe just putting a bumper cover on the car. Put a headlight in it. Put in a grill," he said. "And then you get cars that are hit in the side and they end up getting put on a frame machine like this."
Kellogg said workers knew they were in for some extra business, especially since Tuesday's rain kept road crews from pre-treating the highways. He said more customers could come in Thursday, if Wednesday's snow turns to black ice.
"Again, it's the visual thing because they see the snow, but they don't see the ice, especially when we're driving to work in the morning," he said. "Tomorrow, there'll be another burst of business here."
Shops said a fender-bender or broken taillight can be fixed in a couple of days. Bad wrecks that damage a frame can total a vehicle or keep a driver without a car for several weeks.

The manual I found here:
seems to suggest the VGA output is standard analog so unless it's fried you can hopefully find an old crt to run from it.
Also lists a pin for cmos reset so I don't know if pulling the battery will be enough. Do some mobos have flash for bios?
P25 lists the LVDS pinouts. And has a jumper for 3.3 or 5v by the looks. (of course I've been wrong before...)
Sweet lookin' board. I'm jealous.

VGA output is what I'm using -- the only display that even remotely works is an antique Samsung that's too primitive to reject a bad signal.
~5mb fairly short video of the screen output, downloadable here -->
This is part of the boot sequence for Puplite5. The video is a WMV, with an ASF extension. If it won't play on Linux, LMK and I'll see if I can convert it somehow.
My thinking remains that someone mucked up the settings to get it to display on a weird flat panel somewhere -- IIRC 75hz monitors are not uncommon in medical equipment -- and the board is just too bloody stupid to realize that it needs to override that now.
Re: BIOS flashing, etc. -- can't do that. The BIOS flash utility requires windows ("this program will not run in DOS mode") and I can't use a mouse without a working screen! (I
use a CLI without a working screen, if I know exactly what to type where, but that doesn't help me here...) I've used the clear-CMOS jumper and I've pulled the battery twice now. No joy. (Shouldn't need both!)
Per one of my last posts, I can't get a cable made -- even if I had the pinout for the LCD (I've five of them, all from laptops, all with unidentifiable, unpublished pinouts) I couldn't do much because I don't have a source for a custom cable. The only company I know that will do that, requires a minimum order quantity of 100 cables for custom work. The voltage jumper is useless because the datasheet is incomprehensible as to which pin corresponds to which voltage where.
I have to admit I'm feeling a little frustrated, in that I'm repeating myself several times on some of this info and I'm not sure why I'm needing to do that.

I suppose there is no chance of pulling that BIOS and flashing it back to manufacturer's original specs in another board, is there? I've done that with some socketed BIOS chips when I had two boards of the same type, but I've never gone as far as Sage has: unsoldering a chip, adding a socket, and hot-plugging in another machine. After you boot from a BIOS, programs generally run from RAM. This sometimes makes it possible to hot-swap chips, flash to a different BIOS, then pull the foreign BIOS before you reboot. Admittedly, this is living dangerously.
Of course if you have a commercial flash-ROM programmer this isn't necessary, but who has those?

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't even know which chip is the BIOS on this board
I'll be out most of this morning but I'll try and remember to check when I get home -- if it's easily ID'd and it's socketed, I can try that.
EDIT: chip is socketed. Standard PLCC. I'll have to get a puller somewhere, as I don't have one right now and those are a mess to get out if you don't have one. Looks like they're about $5 on eBay ($2.19 + $2.95 shipping).
EDIT2: I've asked on my other forum about this idea -- I'm not very confident about it, but if they say it can be done without smoke, I'll consider it.

Monitor config is not stored in the bios.
Managed to flash it, half-blind, successfully. Monitor config remains.
Still trying to find a solution.

Congratulations on the reflash. This eliminates one variable.
I'm now at the point of wondering just where configuration for video originates. If it is not changed by flashing BIOS or clearing non-volatile RAM, what you are seeing ought to be the behavior described in the manual. (Could the problem be with the voltages chosen by the jumper for the LCD (J VLCD), even though you are not using an LCD? I'm getting crazy ideas.)
Simply having a 75 Hz vertical refresh doesn't disqualify this from working with many common monitors. Looking back over the thread I don't see mention of the raster you think it is trying to use. An unusual raster could be one problem, though I can't imagine why it would be using anything unusual if it has been reset to factory specs.
Another possibility has to do with the definition of sync signals. Some devices running off vga ports require a small amount of added logic to extract sync signals which are supplied separately on other devices. Sync levels may also vary. I remember a battle with one using "sync on green", (though the details have become hazy.) When this fails the monitor typically says there is no signal at all.
What happened on a number of those Intel 810 chips with shared video RAM was that the behavior changed with different RAM timings. You may need to find actual 333 MHz DDR DRAM. I have one machine that requires this, 400 MHz DDR may be better, in some sense, but not if the stupid thing blindly follows the timings in the SPD.

Ram that came with it is DDR400. Ram that's in it now is spare DDR333.
It has a Winbond chip on it. Typically these are "super IO" chips that provide little extra features, like parallel ports and floppy drives, where they'd otherwise be unavailable.
I'm beginning to suspect that the config is stored on the Winbond chip.
I'm pursuing a two-phase nearly-sure-to-fly solution right now. Phase I, take it to the techno-wizard at the local computer shop. Talking to him teaches me things -- and I know a fair bit about computers. If he can't fix it, I'll be quite surprised -- but then it's onto phase II. That would be a cobbled-together riser card for this board, and a PCI graphics card. The board can't set the card's frequencies, I don't think
Yes, the board has PCI. No, it's not a slot. It's a cardedge connector, exactly the type and pinout you'd find on, eg, a PCI sound card. All Commell did when they designed this board, was to ensure one would need a slot-to-slot riser. You can't get those on eBay, so you'd have to get one from Commell.
Or not. Take one PCI two-slot riser, keyed appropriately (I'm using a Dell PCI-X riser cuz it's as close as I can get -- the differences are minimal), and insert the computer in one slot. Insert a flexible PCI riser (yay for ribbon cables) into the 2nd slot, and insert the graphics card into that. As long as the two-slot riser is just wires, it'll fly (ones with "bank-switching circuitry" --I've no idea what that is-- won't work here).

Heck no. I don't even know anyone who has an o-scope. BUT --
I took the board (and a few necessary peripherals) to my local tech shop. The guy there should've been named Mister Wizard by his parents -- he got it (almost) fixed. I can use a screen with it now, correctly, as long as I'm in text mode. There's some graphical config issues that need sorting out, but I can get that working in the BIOS as long as I don't muck anything up further along the way.
...come to think of it, Mister Wizard might have an o-scope. Not sure tho...
He did an

for me while I was there and gave me a hardcopy of it. I'll type it back up and post it when I can -- I've got some household crunk calling my name right now so it'll be probably later tonight (I'm on US Eastern time, if that's any help).

I'll note that this is using Mr Wizard's own homebrew linux distro for his own tech-service needs (he does own the tech shop, after all!), so I'm not sure what version of
he's using or if that even makes a difference.
I'm going to go make dinner now, and then afterwards I'll muck around with the board some more, see if I can figure out what's making the screen want to dodge graphics mode... any insight you folks can provide is of course quite helpful!

I'll be going back to the shop tomorrow -- I still don't have a working display on any of my screens at home!

Be sure to post the outcome, whatever it is. If the Winbond chip is doing this that would be unique in my experience.
Getting a stable video text display at the shop, but not at home, simply means your home monitors lack the particular video mode necessary.
I had thought about that riser card idea when I saw the edge connector, but held off until less wild configurations were exhausted. I'm convinced you will get this to work very soon -- one way or another.

I've given up on making my home monitors work with the card. I think the refresh rate --or whatever config is messing with this-- is hardwired.
I have a PCI graphics card, and a riser as well. No, not the Commell-sponsored one. I have a quote into a Commell distributor (Global American) to find out how much that will be. If it's too much I'll ask for photos. If they won't, I'll ask Commell for a datasheet on it that includes pinouts.

Or maybe mis-wired? Could it be an open circuit track on vsync or hsync? Or in the monitor cable?

It works on the monitors at the tech shop just fine.
Tech shop dude won't give me his monitors -- the one I've been using is actually a CRT that someone had purchased but not yet picked up. It was his suggestion (not mine) to use that monitor, and I assume it's fairly bulletproof.
My screens are as follows:
2x eMachines (branded) eView 17F2 CRTs (flatscreen, 17")
1x Samsung SyncMaster 510MP (attached to Mom's desktop so not always available)
1x Samsung CVL-4955 (from 1991)
That's it for now -- I've another LCD that I rescued from the tech shop's recycle bin, but I'm not using it until I replace the busted capacitors on the power supply board.
Since the 510MP screen can go up to 75Hz and the 17F2s go up to like 160Hz (not kidding) I'm starting to think this is just a board with a slightly addled graphics chip.
On another note, I managed to order the wrong PCI riser. It came today. 3.3v keying, which is what I thought I had until I realized I was effing blind and looking at the wrong side of the board when I ordered the thing (hint: 5v keying is towards the front of the board, and 3.3v is closer to the back where the ports are).
I've contacted the eBay seller and let them know that I'd like to get a refund... and in the meantime, a 5v riser is on its way from a different eBay seller.
I feel like a total moron for that one. Should've realized something was up when I did a test fit (no power of course) and the graphics card was upside-down but the motherboard was right-side-up. Whoopsie.
I think I'll be using the graphics card from now on, instead of trying to make this insane-o board behave.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Two Ways to Submit a FOIA Request
Requestors that choose to have their information emailed will not incur any fees for photocopying. Please note that fees may be charged for information mailed to requestors, DVD, CD and oversized document duplications. For more information, please call Laura Zilinskas at 815/462-6400 or email to email@example.com.
Freedom of Information Act Request online, interactive form
Information About FOIA
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is the principal Illinois statutory enactment governing the inspection of public records. This Act guarantees access to thousands of documents and records generated by the state and local governmental bodies. Specifically, it provides the public with a mechanism to observe government in action and to monitor the actions that government takes. In order to properly comply with this Act, the Village of New Lenox has developed the following guidelines.
Who has the right to inspect public records?
Any individual, corporation, partnership, firm or organization, acting individually or as a group has the right to inspect public records.
What information must be made available?
Full and complete information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts and policies of those who represent them. Basically, all records having been prepared, or having been used, received, possessed or under the control of the Village must be made available unless the Act provides a specific exemption from disclosure. The Village's obligation is to provide a requesting party with records in the form in which they are originally kept, regardless of physical form (hard copy, microfilm, tape recordings, cards, photographs, electronic data processing records, etc.). If the records are in an electronic format, upon request of the requestor the Village will supply the records either, (1) in a different electronic format, if feasible, or (2) in paper format at the option of the requestor.
What information is exempted from public disclosure?
While the Freedom of Information Act provides for the disclosure of public information, it does recognize that in order to enable public bodies to perform certain governmental functions properly, and in order to protect personal privacy, some records and information should remain confidential. A complete listing of these exempted records and information is specified under Section 7 of the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The following is the Village of New Lenox procedure for obtaining information through the Freedom of Information Act. By following these steps, requests for information can be expedited in an effective and efficient manner.
Step 1: Complete a Freedom of Information Act Request Form
All requests for information must be made in written form. Forms are available for download from here, , or from the Village Clerk's Office, located on the second floor of Village Hall, 1 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox, IL 60451.
Once a form has been completed, requests for information covered under the Act should be referred to the Village Clerk's Office, specifically the FOIA Officer. Any type of request for information should be accompanied by the request form. Forms should be completed even when there are concerns that the information may be exempt under the Act. It is important to be as direct/specific as possible when making a request. A request may be made in a letter format if it contains all the necessary information required on the forms.
Step 2: Addressing the Request
Requests may be emailed or mailed to the Freedom of Information Act Officer to the following address/email:
Village of New Lenox
Freedom of Information Act Officer
1 Veterans Parkway
New Lenox, IL 60451
Individuals may make FOIA requests between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on Village-observed holidays.
Step 3: Village Response
The Freedom of Information Officer shall determine whether the information is exempt or nonexempt under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. The Village shall respond to a written request within five (5) working days from the receipt of the request. It is possible that the Village will request an additional five (5) working days to fulfill the request. However, a written response informing the requestor of an extension will be made by the fifth (5th) working day.
The Village shall respond to the request in the following manner:
Approve the request
Approve in part and deny in part / "Partial Denial"
Deny the request
Give notice of an extension
Provide the requestor with an opportunity to appeal a response
Response to Commercial Request:
A requestor must inform the Village if a FOIA request is going to be used for a commercial purpose. It is a violation of the Act to attempt to procure a public record without disclosing that the use is for a commercial purpose. For requests for commercial purposes the Village has twenty-one (21) days to respond with an estimate when the request will be completed and the fees associated with it. However, these records must be provided within a reasonable time. The Village may require the requestor to pay in full before copying any documents.
Requests from the news media or non-profit scientific or academic organizations are not classified as a request for commercial purpose if the purpose of the information is to:
Access and disseminate information concerning news and current or passing events
Write articles of opinion or features of interest to the public.
Use for the purpose of academic, scientific or public research/education.
Upon approval of a request for public records, the Village may either provide the materials immediately or up to five days after a request, give notice that the materials shall be made available upon payment of reproduction costs, or give notice of the time and place for inspection of records. Generally, public records will be made available for inspection during regular Village business hours. When inspecting records, a Village employee may be present throughout the inspection.
Duplication Fees
Requestors that choose to have their information emailed will not incur any fees for photocopying, unless the information is contained in an oversized document, DVD or CD. These formats cannot be emailed.
Service charges for copies of documents shall be as follows:
Police Department
Traffic Accident Report
In-person pick up at the Police Department . . . $5
Online at www.buycrash.com . . . $13.00
Photographs . . . Actual cost of reproduction
All departments
Photocopy . . . 0.15¢ (First 50 copies are free)
A fee equal to the actual cost may be charged for color copies.
Oversized documents . . . fee determined by size*
* Determination of charges for oversized documents are made by the Department/Division fulfilling the request and if they have the necessary equipment to produce the document. In some instances, oversized documents are sent to an external agency for printing, whereas the requester will pay the cost issued by the external agency.
Undue Burden
Categorical requests creating an undue burden upon the Village shall be denied only after extending to the requestor an opportunity to reduce the request to a manageable proportion.
Denial/Partial Denial/Appeal

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A woman who served as an aide to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker when he was Milwaukee County's executive was sentenced Thursday to a year of probation for doing campaign work on county time.
Darlene J. Wink, 62, was one of six people who faced criminal charges stemming from a long-running secret investigation. The probe looked into activity by Walker's former aides and associates after Walker, a Republican, became the county executive in May 2010, six months before he was elected governor. Walker has not been charged with wrongdoing.
Wink wrote hundreds of emails related to campaign events, including invitations to a campaign fundraiser, said Bruce Landgraf, the assistant district attorney. He also said she did the work on her personal laptop, which would not have been subject to open-records laws.
Wink pleaded guilty last year to two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee. She faced up to one year in prison and a $2,000 fine, but as part of a plea deal Landgraf agreed not to seek prison time.
Landgraf noted that Wink had a clean criminal record and that she also cooperated with prosecutors in two other cases.
"I think it's fair to say Ms. Wink did everything we asked of her," he said.
Landgraf also pointed out that Wink's infraction was far less in scope than that of county worker Kelly Rindfleisch, who was also convicted of doing campaign work on county time. Rindfleisch's activity involved thousands of emails, Landgraf said.
Rindfleisch was sentenced to six months in jail in November after she pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in office.
Two other county workers, including Walker's former deputy chief of staff, were convicted of theft; and one donor was found guilty of exceeding state campaign-donation limits and laundering campaign donations. A sixth person, the domestic partner of the former deputy chief of staff, was charged with child enticement, evidence of which was allegedly uncovered while investigating the ex-aide. His trial is scheduled to start Jan. 29.
Wink tearfully apologized to the court, Milwaukee County taxpayers, her family and Walker.
"I realize that what I did was wrong and I apologize for my poor judgment," she said, her voice cracking as she read a brief statement before being sentenced.
Defense attorney Peter Wolff asked the judge to impose a fine and community service but not probation, noting his client's character, cooperation and lack of criminal history.
Judge Daniel Konkol said the transgressions were a "serious matter" that should carry serious consequences. He imposed and stayed a sentence of 120 days in jail, meaning Wink would only serve the jail term if she violates the terms of probation.
He also assessed fines and court costs totaling about $2,000. During her year on probation, Wink is also prohibited from doing any campaign work.
The status of the secret probe, a so-called John Doe investigation, is unclear. Everyone involved, included the targets of the investigation, is prohibited from discussing details. The judge overseeing the investigation said the probe remains open, although sparse court records give little indication that new suspects will be named.

The other day I went to the RMS Queen Mary for birthday drinks for Lynn Garrett's birthday. Lynn is the founder and head honcho at Hidden Los Angeles. As the name suggests, Hidden Los Angeles is a highly useful guide to Los Angeles for Angelenos and visitors who presumably have no interest in (or interests beyond) celebrity culture, "The Industry," or the beaten path in general. It's also the perfect riposte to Los Angeles's haters complaints about our fair city. Lynn was staying on board the ship for three a three day non-cruise and the visit to the ship was my first.
The RMS Queen Mary is an ocean liner that sailed the North Atlantic from 1936 (when it was known as the Cunard-White Star) and 1967, when it retired to Long Beach.
She was built in Clydebank, Scotland and held the Blue Riband (an accolade granted to ships with the fast average speed when crossing the Atlantic) from 1936 to 1937 and then from 1938 to 1952.

You've dreamed of having a summer cabin settled along a lake, but did you ever imagine an escape placed directly on the water? Architect Daniel Andersson has envisioned a nouveau lake house that lets guests sleep with the fish — where the living space sits directly below the water's surface and from above emerges an expansive roof deck.Andersson's design came about when he was approached by his client, Ålands Hotell & Restaurangskola, to create a fresh concept able to attract more guests to a resort located on the Åland Islands in the Baltic Sea. What resulted was an incredible iceberg shaped building that sits beautifully on the waterscape and provokes onlookers to consider new, unconventional forms for living.
The concept is basically a houseboat that is partially submerged, using a series of pontoons at the base to stabilize the structure. A central day lit atrium allows access to both the below-water bedrooms, the roof deck and living spaces above water. The 60 square meter living spaceis very generous and uses shore powered cable. Being a summer cabin, one of the greatest benefits of the design is the ability of the water to regulate the building temperature, eliminating the need for central air conditioning. Moreover, the low profile of the design does not disrupt the surrounding natural beauty, and provides a fun little outlet that lets guests jump off the deck!

Despite openly supporting self-styled Jihadist "revolutionaries" seeking an Islamic theocracy in Syria, and Libya before that, the new socialist French government, with help from other Western powers, has also just launched a series of military attacks against Muslim rebels who seized control of northern Mali. The controversial operations, ironically, are being taken under the guise of fighting Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, Islamists in the region have vowed retaliation, saying the French attacks were killing civilians and promising to strike "at the heart of France."
According to French officials, the air-bombing campaigns targeting rebel strongholds throughout Mali are needed to prop up the embattled central government in the capital city of Bamako — a regime widely perceived as illegitimate after the nation's elected authorities were overthrown by rogue U.S. government-trained military officers. France's armed forces directly and openly intervened in the conflict late last week when rebels reportedly began another southward push after having declared independence in the north last year.
"We must stop the rebels' offensive, otherwise the whole of Mali will fall into their hands — creating a threat for Africa and even for Europe," claimed French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, attempting to justify his government's support for the dubious Malian regime and its out-of-control army. "Regarding France's direct involvement, it is only a matter of weeks. Later on, we can come as back-up, but we have no intention of staying forever."
The unilateral French intervention in Mali came after the United Nations Security Council voted last month on a resolution purporting to authorize an international invasion of the country. The UN and some of its member states are claiming to be concerned about a complex conflict marked by shifting alliances among rebels, and an illegitimate central government nominally in charge of the south that was installed by military strongmen after a coup in March.
In the north, a coalition of nomadic Tuareg rebels seeking independence from the central government took advantage of the turmoil to establish its own homeland — a longtime dream of the Tuareg people, who have been oppressed by assorted North African despots for generations. Meanwhile, hardcore Islamists under the banner of the Ansar Dine group, armed with weapons that flowed out of Libya following the devastating NATO-led "regime change" operation there, joined forces with the rebels to sever all ties from the regime in Bamako.
Western powers including the Obama administration, however, have vowed to crush the rebellion on behalf of the central "government," which had its previous "prime minister" arrested by military officers last month and replaced with a new "leader."The UN-approved international invasion was supposed to come later this year, possibly as late as September, composed largely of multi-national African troops backed by Obama and various European governments.
However, with rebels apparently pushing southward quickly, possibly toward the capital, the socialist French government decided to immediately intervene militarily last week, supposedly to stop all of Mali from falling into the hands of Islamists. "French fighter jets aimed at and destroyed several targets this Sunday, some training camps, infrastructure and logistical bases," claimedFrench Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. Special Forces and hundreds of soldiers from France, normally stationed in neighboring countries, are also on the ground, authorities said.
Analysts say that the French military or the various African regimes promising to help would have a tough time accomplishing anything of substance in Mali. Other Western powers, however, are expected to offer support, and many have already pledged to do so. "The Americans are going to back up our operation in terms of intelligence and in terms of a support both for logistics and provisions," French defense chief Le Drian claimed.
British officials, meanwhile, are already providing logistical support for the French assault, offering cargo planes and more. "What is being done in Mali is in our interests and should support France's actions," claimed U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron in an interview with the state-run BBC, adding that there would be no boots on the ground — for now at least.
Like the socialist French government, Cameron tried to make the battle appear to be about Islamic extremists, a shift from previous claims that the fight was about supporting "democracy" or Mali's supposed territorial integrity. "There is a very dangerous Islamist regime allied to al-Qaeda in control of the north of that country. It was threatening the south of that country and we should support the action that the French have taken," he claimed. "So we were first out of the blocks, as it were, to say to the French 'we'll help you, we'll work with you and we'll share what intelligence we have with you and try to help you with what you are doing'."
The Obama administration also pledged its support. "We stand by our French allies and they can count on U.S. support," Air Force Maj. Robert Firman in the office of the defense secretary was quoted as saying by Fox News. He said information sharing and logistics would be among the U.S. government's "contribution" to the war effort. Obama also just admitted that American forces helped the French government carry out a failed raid in Somalia on January 11.
Nigerian forces and equipment have also been deployed to the nation to help in the battle, according to news reports citing government officials. More are expected soon. Other governments and tyrants in the region of West Africa have also promised to send troops in the coming weeks and months, with European governments and the Obama administration promising to train and equip them.
Still, rebels in northern Mali have ridiculed the French government's efforts. "It's we who control Gao," Islamist activist Sanda Abou Mohamed was quoted as saying by the Wall Street Journal regarding one of the towns just bombed by fighter jets from France, Mali's former colonial master. "The French are just bombing civilians."
At the same time, however, rebels are vowing to retaliate. "They should attack on the ground if they are men. We'll welcome them with open arms," spokesman Oumar Ould Hamaha with the rebel group MUJWA told Europe 1 radio. "France has opened the gates of hell for all the French. She has fallen into a trap which is much more dangerous than Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia." Another rebel from a separate group quoted in the press said French citizens throughout the Muslim world would face "consequences" for their government's actions.
A major leader in the rebellion, also part of a jihadist group, also promised counter-strikes throughout Africa and Europe during an interview with the French news service AFP. "France has attacked Islam. We will strike at the heart of France," said the Islamist boss, part of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa. "From today all the mujahedeen are together."
The threat of retaliation is being taken very seriously, and concerns have been increasing in France. Earlier this month, a prominent French judge warned about the potential for "blowback" — unintended consequences tied to foreign policy schemes. "All the ingredients exist so that there are repercussions on our soil," said Judge Marc Trevedic, pointing to the large number of African-descent and Islamic French citizens. "France is backing those that want to intervene militarily in Timbuktu. So we are the enemy and are identified as such."
Even as the socialist French government purports to be fighting Islamists, however, analysts have called those justifications absurd. At the same time, France has been among the most vocal supporters of the Islamic extremists waging war on Syria's secular tyrant, Bashar al-Assad. In Libya, the French government was also key in the "regime change" plot that armed known Islamic terrorists — many were openly affiliated with al-Qaeda — to overthrow the secular autocracy of dictator Muammar Gadhafi. As the UN and French authorities admit, many of the weapons from the Libyan conflict are now in the hands of the same rebels in Mali who supposedly need to be crushed by global military force.
Aside from Syria and Libya, the UN and the French government, with support from the Obama administration, also played a key role in ousting the Christian president of the Ivory Coast and installing a Muslim central banker in his place. Thousands of innocent Christians were slaughtered by UN- and French-backed Islamist militias during the campaign. After seizing power, the new Ivorian "president" promptly began shutting down newspapers critical of his regime while rounding up dissidents. He is now among the chief proponents of an international invasion of Mali, too.

Developing a Logo: Part 2
Hey there, I'm back with Part 2 of my post on how I developed the new CourseCraft logo! If you haven't read Part 1 yet, you should check it out. Let's just get into it: I left off with a couple pages of rough, ugly sketches... So what did I do next?
I started creating simple prototypes of each logo design using Illustrator. If you don't have Illustrator, any vector design program will do just fine. Just so I wasn't swayed in one direction by the colour of the logo, I kept each prototype grey. That way I wasn't wasting time on colouring a logo that I didn't want either.
After putting together 6 of my favourite designs, I walked away from the computer and just gave myself time to think about. (Another great piece of advice from Laurie!) Over the next couple days, I came back to the designs several times and tried to figure out which one would be best for us. I eventually settled on the one in the bottom right corner. To me, it symbolizes 'bring poeple together' and 'making connections' (remember the list of words from part 1?) but not in a hand-holding obvious way. But it wasn't quite right yet.
Looking to make the logo a bit more fun I changed the plain squares to these wonky pebble shapes and added some colour. Immediately, all I could think of was babies and children. It would be a cute logo for a daycare, but not for CourseCraft. This is when going back to the list I made about the logos I liked came in handy. One of the items on the list was 'two-tone' so I changed the colours to something a little more mature adjusted the square shape again so they weren't just boring squares but also didn't remind me of a kid's cereal.
Now I could feel I was getting a lot closer, but although I liked the two-tone design it was going in the direction of a very corporate looking logo. Again, I consulted my list and realized I was leaving out one of my favourite attributes: the line drawing style. I re-jiggered the design again and came up with a few more concepts and really started to like the last one.
And there you have it, the new logo was born! Maybe I'm just really hesitant when it comes to changes, but you can probably guess what I did next. Yep, sat on it for another week. Changing the whole site's branding was going to be a lot of work, so I didn't want to rush into something too soon. If you're just changing the logo on your blog I don't think you need to be this snail-paced. Not only did I have change the logo everywhere on the site, but also in emails, screenshots, the help section, about a dozen ads, our Twitter avatar, etc. It was no small feat, so I'm happy to present you with the final logo now!
So here's a bit about the new logo and why it is the way it is. I ended up going with a blue and green colour scheme because I liked how it was a colour combo found in nature and I think it's easy on the eye and not too trendy. The colours are also light enough that they look good on a white background and a dark background. I also wanted to make sure it was low-key and not too crazy because CourseCraft isn't about me, it's about your courses and I wanted your courses to be the main feature on the page not a crazy logo and colour scheme.
When it came to the text of the logo, I tried about a million different fonts. I won't bore you with that since I think it's more about what looks good to you. Again, I just tried to keep it simple and not too trendy. Since CourseCraft is two words, I used colour and a fun small caps style for 'craft' to make it easy to read.
If you made it through that whole post without falling asleep, I applaud you. And if you made it through and found it interesting, let's be friends ok? I'd love to hear about your logo triumphs and failures. Let's chat in the comments. :)

If $M$ is an artinian module and $f: M\to M$ is an injective homomorphism, then $f$ is surjective.
I somehow found out that if we consider the module $\mathbb Z_{p^{\infty}}$ denoting the submodule of the $\mathbb{Z}$-module $\mathbb{Q/Z}$ consisting of elements which are annihilated by some power of $p$, then it is artinian, but if we have the homomorphism $f(\frac{1}{p^{k}})=\frac{1}{p^{k+1}}$, then we get a $\mathbb{Z}$-module homomorphism, but this map is not surjective, because $\frac{1}{p}$ has no preimage.
I would be very grateful if someone can tell me what is wrong with this counterexample? And how to prove the proposition above if it is correct? Thanks.

It's been over a year and my desire to be in a game is strong.
I work with a great number of folks who feel the same way. One of them is supposed to be running a game, and has been in that state for a few months. On Friday he looked to me and said "I can't wait to play in YOUR campaign! When does it start?"
He's a great guy and that was his way of saying "I'm just too busy man, you want to pick up and run? Let's play!"

I was under the impression that I got a revolutionary idea of making a snap circuit which snaps to each other with buttons all over, completing a circuit. Sadly, after an initial check, I found that one such kit is already under sale here. Now I am not sure what to do.
Later I thought that (probably may not be true) all stuff sold in adafruit industries come under OSHW and anybody can redo it and sell it for a profit, but sadly "Snap Circuits" does not mention anything like that.
So, now what are my options?
1. I cannot purchase it from Elenco and resell it as the cost is too high. For rural people in a country like India, it is out of reach.
2. Can I still remake it with slight modifications (my version with my idea) and sell it?
I know it might sound rude, but I can feel it when I thought about a plan for entire two days only knowing that someone has already done something similar to it, but you cannot do it now.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.

The environmental studies concentration focuses on the study of nature, the interactions between people and nature, and the efforts of people to protect nature. Our concentration offers a wide variety of courses that can prepare you for a broad range of careers both in the environmental field and also in the many other fields that are connected to environmental studies. Students graduating from SUA with an Environmental Studies concentration have found work in a wide variety of fields such as sustainability management, renewable energy, Geographic Information Systems, environmental engineering, law, firefighting, business consulting, and journalism. Our curriculum is an excellent preparation for graduate education as well, and a number of SUA environmental studies graduates have continued their studies at distinguished graduate schools in the United States, Britain, and Japan (including Yale, Oxford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, Tufts University, Duke University, University of California Los Angeles, Pepperdine University, Boston University, Washington and Lee University, University College London, University of East Anglia, Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Soka University in Japan).
The environmental studies concentration has an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes extensive course offerings in the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. Our concentration requires the completion of five courses in environmental studies and a capstone project on a topic in environmental studies; the mix of those concentration courses is flexible and allows you to choose different paths of study that follow your own interests. You can therefore complete your environmental studies concentration requirements by taking courses exclusively in the area of social sciences, or by taking courses exclusively in the area of natural sciences, or by taking a mixture of courses that combine coursework in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In addition to our courses, research and laboratory assistantships give you opportunities to work alongside our internationally recognized faculty in their research and teaching activities.
Most of our courses are taught by five full-time environmental studies faculty members who have together received widespread international recognition for their research. Additional cross-listed environmental studies courses are taught by faculty in other programs across the University. The environmental studies curriculum has several major clusters of courses that are described below:
Ecology (ECOL). These natural science courses allow students to study animals, plants, and their interactions through lecture, field, and laboratory studies.
Environmental Management and Policy (EMP). These social science courses focus on the efforts of people to protect and manage the environment, with an emphasis on the practical realities of planning and implementing policies for environmental protection at the local, regional, national, and international levels.
Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS). These natural science courses allow students to understand planet Earth as a physical and chemical system. Through lecture, field, and laboratory studies, students learn about the interaction of human and biological activity with the air, water, and soils of Earth.
Geography (GEOG). These courses focus on the mapping and analysis of the interactions of natural and human activities across the world and across time. Geography courses include perspectives from both the natural and social sciences, and some of these courses include instruction in computer-based mapping through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
Cross-listed Environmental Studies (ENVST). These courses offer a wide variety of additional perspectives on environmental studies taught by faculty across the University, including courses in the humanities and social sciences.

Sometimes, you don't want your technology sleek, discreet and refined: you want it big, tough and purposeful instead. So if the recent glut of streamlined soundbars isn't to your taste, how about this burly sound box instead?
Proficient Audio's new MaxTV MT2 speaker box is designed to have a TV sat on top of it and, capable of supporting up to 160 pounds, that can be quite a lot of TV. Its collection of purposefully uncovered speakers—two 1-inch tweeters, four 2.5-inch mid-range speakers and two 5.25-inch, down-facing subs—can pump out the soundtrack to whatever macho (action?) film you happen to watch, driven by four internal 20-watt, two-channel digital amps.
There's also built-in Bluetooth support for audio streaming, so you can beam tunes to the thing. It costs $600—which seems a little steep, but then, it is built like a tank. [Proficient Audio via Engadget]

SPRINGFIELD—The Illinois House overwhelmingly rejected a concealed carry measure today in an emotional test vote on the controversial gun legislation.
The legislation emerged in the form of an amendment that was modeled after a highly restrictive New York gun law.
The bill drew support from a number of gun control advocates but failed on a 31-76 roll call, with six lawmakers voting present.
The state's regional differences were on full display as fellow Democrats who control the legislature argued for and against the proposal.
"More guns are not the answer to the city's gun violence problem," said Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a North Side Democrat who sponsored the amendment.
But Rep. Brandon Phelps of the southern Illinois community of Harrisburg called on lawmakers to reject the Cassidy bill and throw support to a less-restrictive proposal he is pushing.
The chamber erupted into shouts between lawmakers competing to be heard.
Rep. Scott Drury, a Democrat from Highwood and a former federal prosecutor, criticized an outburst from Republican Rep. Mike Bost of Murphysboro, who was shouting his displeasure about the legislation moving so quickly.
"Here's my point, members," Drury said about Bost. "We don't want someone like that carrying a concealed weapon."
The comments prompted another burst of shouting from both sides.
Illinois lawmakers face a court-ordered deadline to enact a law legalizing concealed carry before they finish their spring session.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The man who apparently mistook his stepdaughter for a burglar when he shot and killed her at their Colorado Springs home was identified Monday as a decorated Fort Carson soldier who served in Iraq.
Daniel Meade, 29, fatally shot his stepdaughter Kiana O'Neil, 14, on Dec. 23, police said.
A burglary was reported at the home that morning and officers arrived to find a wounded O'Neil, police said. She later died at the hospital.
Details of the shooting haven't been released. Meade hasn't been arrested. It will be up to prosecutors to decide whether to file charges, but it wasn't clear when they would begin reviewing the police reports.
Colorado's "Make My Day" law allows residents to defend themselves against intruders.
According to a biography from Fort Carson, Meade has been in the Army for 10 years and received awards including the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal. He is a health services officer assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team's 4th Infantry Division and trained with the Army Rangers and Special Forces.
On Saturday, more than 100 people gathered at a candlelight vigil for O'Neil in Colorado Springs following her funeral in Alamosa, the largest community in the agricultural San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. The girl was a freshman at Vista Ridge High School who loved to baby-sit and attended CrossFit workouts five days a week with her mother, Monica Meade, who spoke to the group, the newspaper reported.
"The day after this tragic accident, I decided I was going to live her life. I was going to love like she loved and I was going to forgive first," she said.
The girl's father, Gary O'Neil, who lives in Arizona, also spoke at the vigil.
"To know that my daughter was loved this much, it helps," he said, fighting back tears.

Congress teetering on the edge
By Christine M. Flowers
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | (MCT) It occurs to me that the scenario in D.C. is very much like an episode of "Breaking Bad."
First and foremost, we have the addicts, and their drug of choice is power. Be they liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, our representatives in Congress are overdosing on arrogance and hubris. There's Harry Reid, the Brigham Young of the Potomac who is inspired by G0D (or Obama, same difference) and knows that his way is the right one.
There's John Boehner, the indecisive Hamlet from Ohio who can't decide whether to satisfy the moderate old guard or yield to the aggressive young Tea Party Turks (jerks?) of his party. So he just retreats into a haze of whatever it is that he regularly smokes.
There is the president himself, pining for a date with Iran's new mullah while spurning the advances of the GOP. He definitely needs a little hit of ecstacy, poor thing.
There is Ted Cruz, proud citizen of Texas and Toronto who hangs out in his own personal Alamo with Davey Crocket and Dr. Suess. The fellow has had a few too many at the D.C. Saloon.
There is Nancy Pelosi, desperately trying to become relevant again, while in the meantime fitting in a few Botox sessions. She's lucky it's not a controlled substance or the poor thing's face would be on the House floor.
These are the users and dopers and losers who look upon the rest of us as idiots, completely uncaring of the effect their habits have on their constituents. While some on the right and left are convinced that their people are the righteous ones, the truth is that every single member of Congress unwilling to look at the bigger picture and compromise even a tiny bit is akin to that addicted family member who takes and takes and doesn't care who he hurts in the process.
Then we have the people who create the drugs, the manufacturers who provide the supply that the users crave. Here is Heisenberg a/k/a Aetna, Blue Cross, and their greedy colleagues.
The insurance companies that feed on the consumer, raising their premiums and co-pays and deductibles at the mere thought of having to provide "universal coverage" feed the fix of the power-drunk. They lobby and curry favor with our addicted politicos, sending that stream of money and power into their craving limbs. Instead of caring about the welfare of those who have helped the insurance companies exist for lo these many years, the dutiful middle class insured who never fail to pay a premium and are responsible enough not to run to the emergency room for every sneeze and sniffle, they stab us in the back by sending letters to the poor hapless sheeple. And they make out Obama to be a liar because, no, we will not be able to keep our preferred doctors and no, we will not be able to maintain our reasonable plans and no, we will not be able to avoid those calamitous co-pays. No, my friends, we are cooked. Like meth.
We have some good guys out there, the DEA agent Hanks of the scenario who try and bring the black hats to justice, people who refuse to undermine the legitimate political process and won't tie the budget to defunding an admittedly flawed bill. They prefer getting the law delayed, to give Congress a chance to iron out the fatal defects like an abominable individual mandate, but don't like the idea of playing games with the American people who will suffer from shuttered offices and suspended service. Unfortunately, we saw what happened to Hank, who ended up in a desert grave.
As a person who always believed that our representatives stood for something greater than their own petty selves, I am disgusted by the havoc wrought by our addicted, illicit crew. Those purists on either side who say they are preserving the Constitution and our system of checks and balances are having brutal delusions brought on by a build-up of hallucinogenics, the kind that lead us to believe the other guy is evil and we are the keepers of virtue.
I once dated a guy who, in his misspent youth, had a problem "Just saying No." In fact, he said yes to everything out there, whether sniffable, quaffable or injectable. After 20 years in recovery, he told me that an addict is always just one high away from falling back into the rabbit hole.
It seems our elected officials are teetering on the edge, as well. Let's hope this series gets canceled.

The human genome unlocked
One of the most exciting developments in biology and medicine is happening at a rapid pace right now. Genome scientists and their industrial partners are developing the technology and tools to read the full 3000 million letters of the human genome in a few hours for a few hundred dollars. Undoubtedly during the course of the next 5-10 years scientists and doctors will be able to read an individual person's entire genome in the same way that they might perform a blood test for their cholesterol levels. This rate of progress is unprecedented and compares to the situation just ten years ago when it cost $100 million dollars to sequence just one version of the human genome.
But this development merely represents the end of the beginning for human genome research. The research scientists of the future will have a remarkable tool box to play with and many questions to answer. Why do some people live healthy disease-free lives well into their 90's or beyond whilst others die suddenly of heart disease in their 50's? Why do some of us put on weight quicker than others in today's obesogenic environment? How can scientists help doctors personalise their patients' medical care and reduce healthcare costs at the same time? What are the key factors that allowed human beings to evolve the unique skill of language and extreme intelligence compared to the rest of the animal kingdom? The answers to these questions lie, in part, in our genetic make-up. And yet it is only now that we are developing the full set of tools to unlock the secrets of the human genome and all its variation.

T-Mobile Ain't Nobody's Fool
The bottom is line T-Mobile knows what is said, what is going around and they are hip, hop and down with it. T-Mobile has brought forth the message that front-line employees are to have the standard "no comment" approach to all media inquiries regarding this offer. I am betting a reporter from the Wall Street Journal is going to a random T-Mobile retail store and hoping the employees know the exact date of IPO. Riiiiiiiight! Seriously, … [read full article]

Blackout is a collaboration with Simon Starling centered around the production of a lamp designed by Poul Henningsen in 1941. Designed for the Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen during the times of the Second World War, Poul Henningsen's Blackout lamp does not expose any light upwards, which meant that the Tivoli gardens could stay open regardless of the blackout prohibitions during the war. Inspired by this specific lamp, SUPERFLEX and Simon Starling created a new lamp. A 'Blackout-lamp' factory was set up in the exhibition producing one lamp a day to be hung and gradually illuminating the exhibition rooms. For the duration of the 2009 exhibition at Kunsthallen Brandts in Odense, a 'Blackout-lamp' was produced and installed everyday. Alongside this a Heidelberger press was used to print a new photograph documenting the process of the exhibition each day.
Extract of Press release from Kunsthallen Brandts:
On the 29th of January 2009 Kunsthallen Brandts opens the exhibition BLACKOUT. This exhibition is a unique interpretation of the Danish architect, designer, and radical critic Poul Henningsen (1894-1967). We have invited British artist Simon Starling and SUPERFLEX to seek inspiration in Poul Henningsen's ideas on design, art, and society. An engagement with the work of Poul Henningsen is not unusual to the artists but for the first time they are collaborating on an exhibition in which their methods and ideas converge in one artistic expression.
Of central importance to the exhibition is Poul Henningsen's Blackout-lamp designed for Copenhagen amusement park Tivoli in 1941. The design of this outdoor lamp, which does not allow any light to spill upwards into the sky, enabled Tivoli to stay open regardless of the prohibitions on light imposed during Second World War. Inspired by this specific lamp Simon Starling and SUPERFLEX have created a new lamp, which will be produced at Brandts re-establishing the former factory that houses Kunsthallen Brandts as a site of industrial production. To reinforce this essential aesthetic and political perspective Kunsthallen Brandts will be blacked out and only slowly, as the lamp production proceeds, become re-illuminated.
On the second floor at Kunsthallen Brandts a metal-workshop will be established and visitors will be able to follow the making of the lamps. In a second space a printing workshop will be constructed around an Heidelberg printing press. Each day during the exhibition new lamps will be produced and hung on a giant grid of wires criss- crossing the exhibition spaces. Just as with the lamps, the printer press will be involved in the ongoing development of a publication that will track and mediate the evolution of the exhibition. During the week additional new pages will be printed and made available to visitors.

The new administration centre of the stock market-listed financial services provider MLP AG in Wiesloch -four low-level buildings with finely wrought, glazed facades -looks every inch like a university campus. Designed as a Corporate University, up to 1,200 MLP advisers gather at the site in Wiesloch every day for training courses and seminars. MLP has 300 business centres around Europe and concentrates on the academic profession. As an independent broker, the financial services provider integrates banking and insurance services into individual finance plans tailored to every phase of life.
The Situation
Considering that practically every employee within the company deals with finance and insurance, it comes as no surprise to learn that the Facility Management also organises its finances quite prudently. At the end of the day, investments have to produce returns in the shortest possible time. Heinz Kyek, Executive Manager of Facility Management at MLP, therefore places a high value on the transparency of operating data -all building technology components must be linked to the central building management system. This requirement applies equally and particularly to the many sanitary, heating and cooling pumps.
The Grundfos Solution
All modern concepts for the efficient planning of a building are ultimately based on extensive building automation which combines all systems as far as possible into a unified process. This is important since the proportional value of the technical installations in relation to the overall value of a building is constantly rising, which means that the complexity and therefore the demands on automation are also increasing.
Thanks to the developments in field bus technology, it is now possible to shift the 'intelligence' of a system to the field devices which can then manage small units in a decentralised system. This principle is at the heart of, for example, the LONWorks technology. All of the electronic pumps and most of the conventional Grundfos pumps for the building management system can be connected via LONbus modules to a LONWorks network which transmits clear, easy-to-read pump data to the building automation centre or to Facility Management. The foundations are thus laid for optimised management and minimisation of operating costs.
The Outcome
By integrating all the building technology into the central building management system, MLP has realised astounding optimisation potential. "By deliberately focusing on the actual needs of the employees and training participants, we have been able to reduce our heat energy consumption by 50 percent within two years" reports Heinz Kyek. In fact while the new administration building originally consumed approximately 2900 MWh (2001) of heating energy, it now uses around 1500 MWh (2004).
The bus-compatible pumps supplied by Grundfos were an important factor within this optimisation process: " We changed the operating times and temperatures again and again, utilised night-time reductions and gradually achieved optimum levels. This pays off since even half a degree difference in temperature produces significant cost savings," according to Heinz Kyek.
The integration of building technology pumps into the central building management system via bus also offers other key benefits. One of these is the far simpler and more cost-effective wiring. The convenience aspect is also important -the pumps can be monitored and controlled centrally. The access to all relevant actual and reference operating values increases operating reliability and the availability of the pumps. It is also possible to make considerable energy savings (e.g. timer programs). In a modern pump like the Magna, the speed adjustment option combined with the energy saving permanent magnet motor results in extremely cost-effective operation: the Magna consumes up to 70% less energy than other similar size pumps.
How cool computers minimise heating costs
MLP AG in Wiesloch
- Sanitary: Hydro 2000 ME boosters with speed controlled pumps, Hydrocontrol ME controller with PMU / PFU. UPS circulation pumps (bronze housing).
- Cooling technology: Inline TPE dry-rotor pumps with integrated frequency converter, PMU 2000 controller connected via GENIbus.
- Heating technology: Magna and/or UPE circulation heating pumps with integrated frequency converter and GENIbus connection. Inline TPE dry-rotor pumps with integrated frequency converter and GENIbus connection. Inline LP dry-rotor pumps.
Why do many customers and planners still hesitate to use frequency-controlled electronic pumps despite the obvious commercial and technological benefits? Heinz Kyek believes it is fear of the unknown -lack of experience with the technology equals lack of trust. Kyek now has five years of experience with electronic pumps from Grundfos and only has good things to say -more to the point he has had no electronics-related problems. "The pumps are very reliable. Operators should install modern pump technology for cost reasons -and they need to make this clear to their planners. After all energy is not going to get any cheaper"

The AFT, the nation's largest union of higher education faculty and staff, launched its national effort to reclaim the promise of higher education April 11 during the annual AFT National Higher Education Issues Conference in Baltimore. More than 300 AFT members, leaders and experts in higher education, students, and community partners attended the conference.
"Higher education should be about expanding opportunities for middle- and working-class families, not a 'debt sentence,' and not a way for Wall Street and for-profit colleges to profit off of students and families," said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "Together we can reclaim the promise of higher education as a means to opportunity and success."
Weingarten launched the national effort in a speech and town hall meeting with attendees and stressed the need to unite educators, students and community to reclaim the promise of higher education—to ensure rigorous instruction that is student-centered and faculty-driven, while supporting independent and innovative research; to make college affordable and accessible to all and relieve the burdens of those costs that have been shifted onto students and families; to foster diverse institutions that provide a richer educational environment for all students; and to ensure students are taught and mentored by faculty and staff who are well-prepared, professionally supported and have a voice in academic decisions.
"An accessible, affordable and high-quality system of public higher education is critical to the health of our nation—both to ensure that students reach their fullest potential, and to enable the United States to continue to develop as a just society, a vibrant democracy and an engine of economic opportunity," said Weingarten.
Attendees also discussed how to mobilize against the forces attacking the promise of higher education.
"Instead of valuing higher education, we've seen growing austerity and budget cuts, and the promotion of polarization and privatization of America's higher education, resulting in massive disinvestment in our colleges and universities and the deprofessionalization and exploitation of faculty—particularly contingent faculty, who teach the majority of undergraduate courses but are underpaid, undersupported and not recognized for the important work they do," Weingarten said. "These types of cuts benefit no one—particularly the students who need the most help—and actually hurt our communities, our local economies and our country as a whole."
In the coming days, the AFT will release a report detailing the extent to which Wall Street profits off of our higher education system.
