The legacy of the late Lady Bird Johnson lives on in the dozens of beautification and environmental projects that enjoy success today thanks to her vision and dedication. She once noted, "Wherever I go in America, I like it when the land speaks its own language in its own regional accent." There's no better way to honor the former first lady than to enjoy some of the many places in Texas that made her smile.
1. Walk in the Woods
Experience the East Texas ecosystem that first inspired her at Caddo Lake State Park (near her birthplace in Karnack), where you can rent canoes to explore the sloughs, hike the cypress-flanked pathways, and even stay in a cabin built in the 1930s by workers with the Civilian Conservation Corps.
2. Plant a Seed
Lady Bird Johnson founded the National Wildflower Research Center in Austin with her friend Helen Hayes in 1982. Now known as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, it recently became part of the University of Texas at Austin. The center has grown into a popular tourist des–tination, complete with gardens, hiking trails, a gift shop, restaurant, and plant sales.
3. Visit Her Home
The LBJ Ranch House in Stonewall—part of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park since 1972—served as a political center for two decades, but it was also Mrs. Johnson's home. Plans are afoot to expand public access to the ranch, but for now, your best bet is to visit the headquarters of the LBJ State Park and Historic Site, adjacent to the ranch, where you can board a bus for a 11/2-hour tour of the property.
4. Explore Her Life
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and museum, on the campus of UT–Austin, features an exhibit called The First Lady's Gallery. With White House mementoes, Lady Bird's original desk, portraits and photographs, video footage, and personal belongings such as letters and evening gowns, the exhibit tells the story of Lady Bird's life.
5. Hit the Trail
As part of her beautification efforts in Austin, Lady Bird transformed the banks of Town Lake into an urban oasis complete with trees, hike-and-bike trails (Trail of a City), and benches for resting and people-watching. In summer 2007, the Austin City Council authorized the renaming of the lake to Lady Bird Lake. For information on the trail, kayak or bike rentals, and other ways to enjoy the lake and its trails, call the Austin Visitor Center.

Employment prospects
In Canada, work rights are available to international students while studying and also upon finishing a degree or diploma.
During your studies
Canada recently announced new regulations for international students. As of June, 2014, students do not need to apply for a separate work visa to work off-campus, and are eligible to work as soon as their program of study begins.
Canada provides extensive work and career opportunities for all types of students. Many institutions in Canada offer a co-operative education program. This is a structured program where students alternate between periods of work and study. This integrated curriculum is achieved through a partnership between the educational institution and industry.
After graduation
International graduates from Canadian higher education institutions also have the opportunity to work in Canada for up to three years following the completion of their program.
To work in Canada after you graduate, you must apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP). If you would like to look into staying in Canada as a permanent resident after you finish your studies, there are several programs available, each with its own requirements.Reference

hi leah! :)
Thank you for your message!
Your little boy is so precious! That was such a great post on Soy!
I also wanted share with you a giveaway I'm hosting together with NuMe, the grand prize is worth over $500 and made up of flat irons and curling wand.
Good morning Leah!
I just dropped by your blog, I really liked the article about going green and resolutions for the new year!
I am at home mom with a daycare! All children are between 1 and 5. In september a new girl will be joining the group since both 5 year olds are heading off to school. She will be 6months when she starts here. I have a blog for the daycare and I also have a blog for my hobby, I create preschool kits. So stop by, they're in french but there is a translate button. I will be adding english articles eventually! :)
www.libellulesmadamegrenouille.blogspot.com and www.creationsleslibellules.blogspot.com
Have a great day and I'll be adding your blog to my favorites to follow. !
ok i will check your blog and follow you there also follow mine.thanks and nice meeting u.
Hi Leah,
Thanks for the welcome here, and back to you as well! I just checked out your blog, I'm now a new follower. Lots of great info there, I especially enjoyed the article about SAH mom vs working.
Hi Leah,
I am big on green. I proudly support Eco Daisy, a green cleanser on my site. I'll take a look at your site tomorrow and will follow you. Please take a look at 3girlsblogging.com
and feel free to join and start your own discussion group. Looking forward to connecting with you.
Leah, Loved your site. I posted a comment on the Identity Crisis post. Great thought provoking post! I am sure it is a great conversation starter. I know I had my two cents!
I love the idea of going green, but my reasoning has a different dynamic to it than most. The idea of using more energy sends shivers down my frugal spine, so logically I want to use less to save more! Then secondly I want only the best for my children and so natural is a smarter choice, but going green has taken a commercial marketing turn making some "green" items very illogical and strangely harmful.
Hi Leah,
I like your blog, Tout and i had followed it. Hope you will visit my blog and can you be my follower as well. http://ownhomeearning.blogspot.com/

Expanding the Online Frontier
Welcome to Google's domain registry. We're really excited about the domains we'll be offering. The Internet has always been first and foremost about self-expression, and the dawn of this era of hundreds of new domains marks one of the most unpredictable moments in the history of a highly unpredictable medium.
.EDU has always meant education, .GOV government, .ORG non-profits. Today's new domains are infinitely more open-ended. There will be new homes for creativity, for business, for explorers, comedians and professionals. What will .HOW mean? .EAT? .SOY? We have our ideas, but how you develop your piece of this online real estate is up to you. Whether you're a dad or a traveler, a developer or a movie maker, a Japanese speaker or a tour guide, the web, happily, is what you make of it.Become a partner
Google's Domains
Google is planning on being the registry for many new top level domains including these.
Tier start times for the .page Early Access Program (EAP)September 10, 2018
EAP is a 7-day period in advance of General Availability (GA) during which domains can be registered immediately. During EAP there is a one-time early access fee in addition to the usual annual price for the domain, which can vary depending on whether the name is standard or premium. This early access fee is one time and not charged for renewals. There are five different price tiers in EAP, starting with the highest tier and decreasing each day as follows:
- 2018-10-02 16:00 UTC — Tier 1 begins (highest price tier)
- 2018-10-03 16:00 UTC — Tier 2 begins
- 2018-10-04 16:00 UTC — Tier 3 begins
- 2018-10-05 16:00 UTC — Tier 4 begins
- 2018-10-06 16:00 UTC — Tier 5 begins (lowest price tier, lasts 3 days)
- 2018-10-09 16:00 UTC — GA begins (no more additional one-time fee)
Domain name registrars set the price they charge for each EAP tier, and prices may vary across registrars. In addition to EAP, there are also premium domains; these domains have higher prices that are independent of EAP. These premium prices apply to renewals as well as initial registrations, and also apply in GA.
Launch details for .pageJuly 20, 2018
We are launching our fifth open top-level domain, .page, a new domain that makes it easy to build a simple, more secure online presence. .page is for anyone who wants to create a new website online, including entrepreneurs, publishers, developers, businesses, and students.

Here are the important dates to be aware of in 2018:
- Aug 27 - Oct 2: Sunrise period where trademark holders who have submitted their trademark to the Trademark Clearinghouse can register .page domains.
- Oct 2 - Oct 9: Early Access period where anyone can register available .page domains for an extra fee, which decreases leading up to General Availability.
- Oct 9 and onwards: General Availability where anyone can register available .page domains.
Please note that a claims period will run indefinitely, during which trademark owners will receive notification when their marks are registered as domains.
Updated privacy policyMay 25, 2018

History and Old Stuff...
My 1941 Social Studies book, Our World Today, has been lying on the coffee table, and I've been browsing through it for the last week or so. This book appeals to me because it was written just as my parents were becoming adults, immediately before America entered World War II. It also interests me as a background of the events of 2007.
Kurds and Wahabis
For example, in the chapter about the Near East, there's a half-page photo of a large group of Kurdish men on horseback. Most seem to have heavy mustaches but not full beards. They are wearing black turbans and carrying rifles. The caption reads:
Mounted Kurdish Warriors of Northwestern Persia
The Kurds live in a region of lofty mountains extending into the three countries of Persia, Iraq, and Turkey. Some of them live in villages, raising fruits and cereals, but many are nomadic tent dwellers, devoting their time to raising horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. The Kurds have been much feared on account of their sudden raids upon the bordering villages of other races. These are some of the lawless people whom Reza Shah Pahlevi has had to subdue in order to make traveling safe in Persia.
Source: Our World Today (p. 377), a geography textbook written by De Forest Stull and Roy W. Hatch and copyrighted in 1941 by Allyn and Bacon, Boston, MA
A few pages over, there's a photograph of an old Wahabi man. He has a white beard but no mustache, and he's wearing a light-colored robe that's gathered up loosely by a belt hidden under the folds. His head is also covered with cloth. He's holding a staff that's as tall as he is. The caption reads:
Wahabi Tribesman of Arabia
The Wahabi who live in the interior of Arabia are the strongest people of the Arab tribes. Although they follow the Koran with almost fanatical zeal, they do not hesitate to waylay and rob pilgrims on their way to Mecca, and to make themselves feared and hated for their raids on border settlements.
Source: Our World Today (p. 383), a geography textbook written by De Forest Stull and Roy W. Hatch and copyrighted in 1941 by Allyn and Bacon, Boston, MA
British Influence on the Arabian Peninsula
In the text, the authors explain that Great Britain has taken "some part in the control" of several nations along the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea to reduce the pirate attacks on British ships conducting commerce in the area.
The quotation about Wahabi tribesmen (above) mentions that their attacks on border settlements. Those would have been settlements of Koweit (1941 spelling), Oman, Aden and Yemen that bordered the sea on the outside and the Great Arabian Desert on the inside. The authors note that the interior borders of the small nations along the ocean are not well defined.
On a political map of the region, Aden at the mouth of the Red Sea is labelled "Aden (Br.)" and in Africa, just across the Gulf of Aden, is "British Somaliland." Today, Somalia is a terrorist hotbed and a nation in the turmoil of civil war, and Somalian pirates are still a big problem for shipping in the area.
The Energetic Americans
In the section about the United States, the authors give a number of reasons that America has become a world leader in manufacturing. These include natural resources, climate, etc., and also "an energetic people."
Americans are noted for their energy and the vigor with which they go at their undertakings and carry them through. In slang phrase they have "pep." Our salesmen are known as "go-getters because they go after and get business.I wonder if the authors would say the same thing about Americans today? I doubt that we hustle the way we used to do. I think we expect more leisure and entertainment than those who had come through the Great Depression allowed themselves. I don't think today's writers of Social Studies books would even attempt to influence children to think of themselves as peppy go-getters. They'd be more interested in getting children think of themselves as tolerant.
Americans hustle, that is they move quickly and aim to accomplish a lot of work in a short time...

I'm sorry for opening yet another Broken Sword thread but my problem seems different from any one that I've read about here yet.
Broken Sword on Windows CE (IPAQ) works using scummvm1. The intro video works but I hear no speech or music during the intro. After the intro when George picks himself up I do hear wind sounds (sfx) and he does start talking (speech works then). But no music then either, though I'm not sure if there is music there. No music in the menu either though.
So situation:
Intro video: OKAY
Intro speech: not working
Intro music: not working
Ingame speech: working
Ingame sfx: working
I've downloaded the dxa files from here and I have copied the speech1 and speech2 files. I've tried renaming the video dir to smackshi to no avail. I've tried the speech files in a speech dir and in the main dir.
My music are wav files, this should work yes?
Thanks for any help offered!
The cutscene audio is part of the cutscene files, so it has nothing to do with the regular speech or music files. (The cutscene packs have two files (three, if you count the optional subtitles add-on for Broken Sword 1) for each movie: one for video (DXA) and one for audio (FLAC).
I don't know about the PocketPC/WinCE port, but I guess it's possible that it does not support FLAC audio. There are additional audio-only add-ons on the ScummVM downloads page "for ports without FLAC support". I guess you could try one of those. (You still need the DXA files of course, as these only replace the audio.)
Ahh great! That fixes it!
Apparantly the IPAQ doesn't support FLA files for the audio for the videos. The intro music and speech works now, (using the ogg files).
This could probably be added to the support/doc support!

For many women, the toughest part of early pregnancy is morning sickness. If you are suffering from nausea, vomiting, or both, you need safe measures that will bring you some relief. Your best course of action for managing morning sickness is home treatment. By following a few proven guidelines, you are likely to gain significant relief from nausea and vomiting. Home treatment measures for morning sickness include:
If you have severe, persistent nausea and vomiting, see your doctor or nurse-midwife immediately. This uncommon complication of pregnancy can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, sometimes requiring prescribed medicine or hospitalization.
Morning sickness can range from mild, occasional nausea to severe, continuous, disabling nausea with bouts of vomiting. Symptoms may be worse in the morning, though they can strike at any time of the day or night.
Although its cause is poorly understood, morning sickness has been linked to increasing estrogen levels, along with other hormone changes during early pregnancy.1
There is no way of predicting how long your morning sickness will last, even if you have suffered through it before. Nausea and vomiting usually go away by 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy. But in some cases, morning sickness can last well into a pregnancy.
If your mother had morning sickness for half of her pregnancy, you probably will, too.
You can't predict whether and how long you will have morning sickness based on your own or your mother's past pregnancies.
You can't predict whether and how long you will have morning sickness based on your own or your mother's past pregnancies.
Morning sickness begins during the first trimester, when the fetus is vulnerable to developing birth defects. So during the first trimester, use home treatment to treat nausea and vomiting unless your doctor recommends medicine to treat your symptoms.
If you have severe, persistent nausea and vomiting that is causing dehydration or weight loss, your doctor can prescribe a medicine for you that is not known to cause fetal problems.
No matter how bad it gets, prescription medicine is not advised for treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
The following are safe, proved treatments for morning sickness. Still, few women gain complete relief from morning sickness treatment.
Follow these guidelines for minimizing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Contact your doctor immediately if you vomit more than 3 times a day or are unable to take fluids, especially if you also have pain, fever, or both.
Ginger will immediately relieve nausea and vomiting. You only need to take it when you're feeling sick.
Although ginger ale or ginger tea may ease mild nausea, your best bet for treating morning sickness with ginger is with regular daily treatment.
Although ginger ale or ginger tea may ease mild nausea, your best bet for treating morning sickness with ginger is with regular daily treatment.
Now that you have read this information about morning sickness, you can take action toward curbing your symptoms. If you have any questions about home treatment or are considering using doxylamine, talk to your doctor or midwife.

WASHINGTON (AP) � U.S. new-home sales jumped in January from the previous month to the highest level since July 2008, a sign that the housing recovery is accelerating.
The Commerce Department says new-home sales rose nearly 16 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000. The percentage increase was the largest in nearly 20 years.
Steady job creation and near record-low mortgage rates are spurring more Americans to buy houses. At the same time, the number of previously occupied homes for sale is at a 13-year low. That shortage creates more demand for new homes.
Still, the increases are coming from depressed levels. New-home sales plummeted to a record low in 2011. And sales are still well below the 700,000 annual level that economists consider healthy.

2009 Area Committee Reports and Review Board Comments
Jump to committee:
Below are the 2009 committee annual reports and the respective comments of the Review Board. Links to previous years can be found below.
Committee Reports - 2009
Committee on Apparatus
Dale Stille, Chair
Review Board Response
The Apparatus Committee continues to do an excellent job of sponsoring workshops, poster and paper sessions, and competitions at the National Meetings. The strong attendance last year is an indication of how popular they were. The tie-in with the Topical Conference on Advanced Laboratories during the Michigan meeting was excellent and produced a popular workshop and session. Your goals for 2009 and 2010 addressing the activities at the National Meetings are important to the association.
The Executive Board encourages area committees to have additional goals in their area of expertise for the year that address issues other than sessions and workshops at meetings. Your two long term goals fit this category. Cataloging the many available Java Applets and making this available on comPADRE would be a very useful project to the physics education community. Finding a permanent home for the Tom Greenslade collection is also an excellent project. Has there been consideration of creating an electronic physics apparatus museum on comPADRE? Tom Greenslade's website could serve as the beginning. The Board encourages the committee to become active in pursuing these or similar projects.
The recommendations you made are worth serious consideration. The two recommendations concerning the website will be given to the incoming Program Chair to determine if these changes can be made. The suggestion of changing the area chairs term to two years would help create added continuity. This idea will be discussed by the Review Committee to determine its feasibility.
Committee on Educational Technology
Mario Belloni, Chair

The mission of CET "to identify, communicate, and promote developments in educational and new applications of educational technology to physics teaching and learning" is an important component to AAPT. The committee has done an excellent job during National Meetings in having tutorials, workshops, and sessions that fulfill this mission. The creative experiment called "Taste of Technology" workshop at the Michigan meeting shows how creative you are in trying new ideas. Thank you for these efforts in determining if this new format would work.
The photo contest continues to be a highlight of the summer meeting. It involves many high schools in AAPT activities and is an event that attendees at the summer meeting enjoy. We are glad there are plans to revitalize the video contest and look forward to its return.
The Executive Board encourages area committees to work on projects or activities that relate to their area of expertise other than workshops and sessions at National Meeting. This could include bringing recommendations to the Executive Board on how we could better serve our members and physics education as a whole. We hope one or two projects or activities can become part of your goals for 2010 and 2011.
Committee on Graduate Education in Physics
The sessions sponsored by the Graduate Education committee (GEC) at the 2009 Summer meeting in Ann, Arbor were well attended. The panel on \What Graduate Schools Expect from Undergraduates" had a great turn out and the attendees asked the panelists questions for 1.5 hours.
The sessions \Cutting-Edge Research at MSU" and \How to prepare undergraduates for graduate school" were also well received. The GEC sponsored workshop \Cyclotron tour and workshop at Michigan State" at the 2009 Annual Summer meeting was attended by 17 participants all of whom rated it highly.
With support from the National Science Foundation, AAPT (with GEC involvement) and APS co-sponsored a conference titled "Graduate Education in Physics: Which way forward?" in 2008 to discuss the status and future of graduate education in physics (Janet Tate, Ted Hodapp, Michael Thoennessen and Chandralekha Singh were the co-organizers). The full report for this conference can be found at the AAPT Graduate Education Committee website http://www.aapt.org/Directory/graduate.cfmAt the GEC committee meeting in Michigan Ann Arbor, we discussed the main _ndings of the conference and continued the discussions about strategies for dissemination of the _ndings.
The GEC will sponsor a workshop titled \TA Training: Challenges and Successes" at the 2010 Winter Meeting in Washington, DC which is joint with the APS April meeting. This exploratory workshop is envisioned to be the launching pad for a future conference sponsored jointly by AAPT and APS related to TA preparation. The GEC will also sponsor or co-sponsor three exciting sessions at the Winter 2010 meeting: \Preparing graduate students for careers in college physics teaching", \Selling Physics Research and Education to Congress" and \TA Training: Why It Is Important and How To Do It E_ectively".
The GEC plans to sponsor a workshop titled \Leadership Roles and Models in the Classroom, Academia, and Beyond" at the 2010 Summer Meeting in Portland, OR. The GEC also plans to cosponsor four invited sessions at the Summer 2010 meeting two of which will deal with promoting diversity and the other two will deal with early career researchers in physics and Paradigms program at OSU.
We now have Amber Stuver, a postdoctoral Fellow, as a member who is very active. She is also a member of the APS Forum on Graduate Student A_airs (FGSA) and has been trying to get graduate students who are members of FGSA more involved in AAPT activities.
Chandralekha Singh, Chair
Review Board Response
The sessions and workshops sponsored by the Graduate Education committee continue to be of high quality and are generally well attended. They cover areas that are consistent with AAPT's mission and goals. However, the report does not address the specific goals of the committee and the future plans for activities outside of sponsoring sessions. Part of the committee's mission is to interact with the undergraduate committee (and I recommend including the TYC community) on ways to provide a smoother transition to graduate schools. Clearly the session in Ann Arbor did this, but plans for future projects and ways to better communicate this information have not been outlined. There were no recommendations for the Executive Board. The committee's work with APS at the DC meeting should provide a good forum for discussing relevant topics to graduate students and this practice should continue. Their connection with the APS Forum on Graduate Student Affairs will help to enhance communication and accomplish their mission. I recommend that future reports include brief statements of the committee's goals and how their sessions and outside projects meet those goals.
Committee on History and Philosophy of Physics
Cheryl Winkle, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on History and Philosophy of Physics sponsored a number of sessions at both national meetings in 2009, most of which (according to their report) were well attended; their Electronics workshop drew 40–50 participants at each national meeting! The two Committee meetings were also reasonably attended, despite the early hour of one of them. While their goals for 2009 focused essentially on organizing events for national meetings, their goals for 2010 commendably include publishing articles in professional journals (TPT and others) and reviewing and enhancing the Committee's website, all aimed at supporting those interested in bringing historical perspectives to their teaching of physics. They also plan to take full advantage of the Smithsonian as a site for events at the Washington meeting. Members and friends of the Committee are particularly active in curricular development and promoting CASTLE and, in 2009, have published (at least) three books. The Committee is to be applauded for its activities and encouraged especially to move on its plans to engage its members and friends in tasks that enhance its impact beyond the confines of the national meetings.
Fully addressing the Committee's concern about early morning Committee meetings and about overlapping scheduling of events of interest to the Committee's constituency may be difficult. Responding to a desire for information from past meetings to remain available and readily "searchable" on the AAPT website may be easier to address. In any case, the Committee should understand that the requests have been heard.

Review Board Response
The Committee on Laboratories is to be applauded for its involvement in the successful topical conference on the advanced laboratory at the Ann Arbor meeting and for its firm intention to follow up on that activity with continuing attention both to that topic and to those interested in the subject. The sessions and the workshops mounted at the two national meetings in 2009 were well attended, and the Committee meetings themselves drew quite a number of friends. The growing collaboration with ALPHA, the concern for the laboratory experience throughout the K-20 spectrum, efforts to involve not only those teaching the laboratories but also those providing support for the teachers, and the decision to help physics teachers learn about changes in the requirements of medical schools point to a healthy and valuable agenda for the Committee in the years to come. That the workshops on introductory and advanced laboratories continue with every offering to draw strong participation is also encouraging. The Committee's report attests to a successful 2009 and points to a similarly successful 2010.
The one implied suggestion to the Board and to those planning national meetings requests that thought be given to ways in which poster presentations might include space for setting up equipment and making sure it is secure for the time it is on display. In fact, recent poster sessions have included small tables for equipment, mostly laptop computers, and sometimes have made power available, but that provision is probably not enough for the use envisioned in the Committee's suggestion. Unfortunately, space is often tight, and high security is hard to achieve. Nonetheless, the request has been heard.

The mentoring initiative is up and running. We now have identified a list of mentors willing to assist teachers who need help. We are now looking for teachers to pair up with and a way to do it. It has been suggested to use online resources to link people who may not be geographically nearby. It has also been suggested that the mentors not just be paired one to one, but maybe in small groups to get the most help to the most people.
Recommendations to Board:
We are now looking into ways to recruit more new high school teachers. It has been suggested that we market to the teachers in the states of our national meetings and point out sessions that would be of interest. We would also like to run a get together for first time high school teachers at each meeting to give them a chance to network and feel welcome. We would also like to offer a discount to first time national meeting registrants to hook them, and hopefully they will keep coming back.
It has also been suggested to the committee to set up an Industrial Advisory Board to get corporate sponsorship to help fund high school teachers to attend workshops and meetings.
Activities and Accomplishments:
The high school committee has continued in its efforts to attract quality workshops and sessions to appeal to high school teachers attending the summer and winter meetings. We had 17 participants in our Household Electricity Workshop and plan to continue offering that each winter. We had so many contributed papers to our Particle Physics in the HS we had to split it into two sessions that were greatly attended. We have also had continued interest in the PER in the High School session we have offered. We have had to increase the size of the room to fit the size of the audience. We are planning a celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the PTRA for next summer's meeting.
The committee meetings have had a good attendance at the winter meetings. The early morning meetings have had smaller attendance with only about 12 people at the summer and about 30 people at the winter meetings when they were at 7 a.m. Last winter's meeting had about 50 people present when it was in the afternoon.
The high school committee has finished its work on revising a document originally published by the AAPT in the 1980's on "The Role, Education and Qualifications of a High School Physics Teacher". A new document titled "The Role, Education, Qualifications and Professional Development of a Secondary School Physics Teacher" has been published and distributed.
Another current project of the high school committee is to review and revise a current AAPT document on the role of the lab in high school physics. An active group has been recruited to expand the scope of the document to highlight active learning activities. The group had preliminary work available for review at the Chicago meeting. There it was decided to continue through email. Now we are requesting a room at the summer national meeting to continue work on this document face to face.
Another project is currently underway dealing with teachers planning lessons based on state or national standards. We have a friend of the committee volunteering to work with the national office on coming up with AAPT's standards.
The high school committee has been an ongoing sponsor of the High School Photo Contest, High School video contest and High School Teaching Grant. The Photo contest has been quite successful and this year reached a new record for submissions, problems with the display of photos at meetings are a continued concern of the committee. We have a new person in charge of the video contest. At this year's winter meeting a group met to hash out new guidelines to update and restart this contest. The committee has asked that the High School Teaching Grant program be widely advertised. We have received some excellent proposals the last few years, but hope to keep increasing the participation level.
Shannon Mandel, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Physics in the High Schools is to be commended for your many services to AAPT through the years. The Share-A-Thon, photo contest and video contest are all highlights of our national meetings. Updating and revising all of the high school documents are a service to all high school teachers, not just our members. Working closely with the PTRA program gives you a special role with the MSP grants, and we encourage you to become more actively involved in that venture. Together you should also take a leadership position in the discussion of national physics standards.
Your sessions and workshops cover a variety of topics of interests to the high school community, and we are pleased to see your cooperation with many other committees. We encourage you to work closely with the Pre-High School and Undergraduate Committees to design programs to provide a smooth transition from middle school to high school and from high school to college. We also encourage you to work closely with the Teacher Preparation Committee in the design quality programs to train future physics teachers.
Your suggestion of a First Timers High School gathering is an interesting one. We would suggest you begin by making contact with the Undergraduate and Graduate Committees and designing marketing for each level and attending the regularly scheduled First Timers gathering and hand out a list of sessions of interest to your three constituents.

Much of the conversation that will take place at upcoming cracker barrels, committee meetings, and the tandem meeting will focus on the question, "where do we go from here?", so the answer to this question will be more robust in next year's report.
We've offered to help with piloting new web features (especially the communities feature) and have done audio and video recording of plenaries and other general sessions with the goal of providing podcasts. We are still working through some of those logistics from the Ann Arbor meeting and hope to have a solid solution that works for the AAPT community by the DC meeting.
Either ask for fewer things in this report or allow more than one page as there is not enough space to do an adequate job, please. Thank you!

The Two Year College Committee has done an exemplary job in establishing workshops and meetings for TYC faculty. Their sponsorship of sessions and workshops at meetings covers a wide range of topics that are appropriate to both TYC and non-TYC faculty. Their establishment of a web site will enhance communication across the TYC community and shouldbe usedassist in recruiting new members. The 2010 and long range goals are consistent with AAPT's mission and, if accomplished, will make significant contributions to the TYC physics community. I strongly recommend that the committee work with both the High School and Undergraduate Committees to examine ways to (1) make transitions in physics courses smoother between these levels and (2) to encourage talented students to become physics majors or minors.
Committee on Physics in Undergraduate Education
The goals of the CPUE for the past year of 2009 included organizing excellent sessions, workshops, and tutorials for the national meetings of the AAPT, and providing feedback and recommendations on statement of Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) as requested by the AAPT Executive Board. The CPUE sponsored and co-sponsored several well-attended sessions and workshops at the 2009 Winter and Summer Meetings, thereby fulfilling one its goals for 2009. The CPUE also has been worked on the CPUE Statement on Undergraduate Research and made a recommendation to the Executive Board, therefore partially fulfilling the other goal for 2009.
The goals for 2010 is to continue help organize excellent workshops, tutorials and sessions for AAPT 2010 meetings and to finalize the URE statement with rationale, based on the feedback from the AAPT Executive Board.
The long-range goal of our committee is to improve the undergraduate physics education by getting feedbacks from committee members, organizing excellent sessions, workshops, and tutorials for the national meetings of the AAPT, and also working closely with other AAPT committees and Executive Board.
Overview of Activity in 2009
Committee meetings were held at the Winter Meeting in Chicago on Feb 14th (4 of 9 members attended, along with at least 10 friends) and at the Summer Meeting in Ann Arbor on July 28th (9 of 9 members attended, along with at least 15 friends). In both meetings, in addition to getting ideas for the future AAPT workshops and sessions, vigorous discussions of the URE statement occurred. Everyone agreed on the importance of research experience for undergraduates, but differed in how the committee would word the statement to support such effort. A significant amount of email exchange on this topic occurred via the CPUE email listserv for more than half a year, with a lot of effort put by committee members and friends. The URE statement proposed below in the last part is the CPUE group accomplishment.
All the sessions and workshops sponsored by the CPUE were well attended (more than 50 for most of the sessions) and received very positive feedbacks. Most of the workshop organizers would like to continue their workshop based on the success and some of the organizers intend to organize follow-up sessions for the following AAPT meetings. The flyer idea used to promote CPUE sponsored workshops and sessions is well received as a success during the summer Ann Arbor meeting.
Recommendations to the AAPT Executive Board
The AAPT Committee on Physics Undergraduate Education (CPUE) recognizes the importance of research experience for undergraduate students would like to recommend the following statement to the AAPT Executive Board for possible adoption as the AAPT statement.
The Committee on Physics Undergraduate Education of the American Association of Physics Teachers urges that every physics and astronomy department provide its majors and potential physics majors with the opportunities and encouragement to engage in a meaningful and appropriate undergraduate research experience.
Lili Cui, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Physics in Undergraduate Education has done a very good job in 2009 sponsoring and co-sponsoring sessions and workshops at the National Meetings. The attendance was strong during the CPUE events this past year. It also seems that the committee meetings during the National Meeting were well attended, with a good number of friends participating.
The Executive Board appreciates the committee's work on the AAPT statement dealing with a research experience for undergraduate students. The recommendation you made was excellent. It is good to learn that so many people were interested in this topic, and had input both electronically, and at the committee meetings. This procedure led to a stronger statement that had wide support.
The Executive Board encourages area committees to take on projects or develop activities that are related to their area of expertise other than workshops and sessions at National Meetings. Your work on the statement on research experiences for undergraduate students is an example of this type of activity. The Board encourages CPUE to develop more of these types of goals during 2010. CPUE is an important committee that has a mission that could support many worthwhile activities.
Committee on Professional Concerns
The PER Professional Concerns Crackerbarrels were particularly successful in drawing very large crowds and lively discussions. These popular sessions should certainly be repeated in the future. This year the PC Committee also experimented with actually providing crackers and snacks for some of the Crackerbarrels to enhance their informal nature and observed some benefits from the experiment.
Robert Beck Clark, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Professional Concerns sponsored an appropriate number of appropriate events at both national meetings in 2009. All save one (a Crackerbarrel for Area Chairs) were (according to the Committee's report) well attended, in some cases especially well attended. The PER Crackerbarrels, which have been a feature at several recent meetings, evidently have met with repeated success. Further, the notion of providing actual crackers at a Crackerbarrel is interesting and appears to have had a useful affect. (Though it is not explicitly identified as such, that idea appears to be a suggestion to the Board.)
At the same time, the Committee's goals for 2009 and the future are more narrowly defined than would be implied by the expectation that, to quote from the Area Chairs' Handbook, Area Committees will serve AAPT "as both think tanks and work groups in their areas of interest". From the report, it is hard to tell if there was any communication among the Committee members outside the national meetings. It is also hard to tell if there were any activities in which the Committee could impact the members of AAPT beyond the organizing of events for the national meetings or even any indication of brainstorming about possible activities of that type. Finally, though Crackerbarrels should provide a potentially rich source for generating suggestions to the Board, there is no enumeration

The relationship between RiPE and PERLOC should be made clearer. Their separate and common purposes should be stated as well as each of their contributions to the AAPT mission and goals. The interest in this committee and its activities are very high in the AAPT community. The interaction between PER researchers and physics teachers is valuable. Their listserv continues to be an effective communications mechanism for the community, especially between meetings. I believe that future reports should address future plans for activities by the committee. The recommendations to the Executive Board are appropriate and should be addressed by those Board members responsible for meetings. The issues raised are in continual discussion and the policies are continually being reviewed. These must be balanced by the desire to allow maximal participation by the membership at large and by budgetary considerations.

Review Board Response
The Committee on Space Science and Astronomy provided a great service to AAPT with all of their special events during the International Year of Astronomy. The Famous Astronomer Trading Cards were especially popular with our members.
To build up attendance and participation in committee events, we suggest that you begin to collect a list of Friends of the Committee, whom you can call upon to assist in your various activities. This is also an excellent source of future committee members.
AAPT plans to take a leadership role in the development of national physics standards, so we suggest that you work with the High School and Undergraduate Committees to assure that Astronomy standards are included and to develop quality Astronomy courses, especially in colleges where there is no Astronomy major.
Committee on Teacher Preparation
The Committee on Teacher Preparation continues to provide opportunities for the greater AAPT community to be actively involved in activities that support improvements in the preparation of teachers of physics. Working closely with organizations such as PTEC and PhysTEC, the CTP remains a strong voice in the efforts to better prepare teachers in the instructional strategies that research has shown to be effective in improving student learning.
At both of the committee meetings that were held during 2009, there was thoughtful discussion of the workshops and sessions that would be sponsored and co-sponsored by the committee to ensure the topics addressed would best meet the needs of those engaged in teacher preparation as well as the larger AAPT community. Organizers reported that the sessions were well attended, with attendees posing questions that further probed the work presented in the talks. Similarly, the organizers of the workshops felt that they were well attended and received by the participants. The number of requests for sponsorship or co-sponsorship for both sessions and workshops has been steadily increasing, making it necessary for more of each to be co-sponsored and not solely sponsored by the Committee on Teacher Preparation. A positive outcome of this collaboration is best illustrated in two sessions scheduled for the Summer 2010 AAPT meeting to be held in Portland, OR. Multiple Models for Mentoring I and II are being co-sponsored by the Committees on Teacher Preparation, Physics in High Schools, Physics in Pre-High School Education, Minorities in Physics and Women in Physics. This joint-sponsorship will provide a variety of viewpoints from which the role of mentors and the importance of mentoring will be examined. In addition, the cooperation across committees will provide a venue for bringing together the various groups who engage in not only the preparation but also the ongoing support of new physics teachers.
The CTP listserv continues to be used by members and friends of the committee to disseminate information that is relevant to the work of the committee. The listserv provides an opportunity to share insight into recent research findings, to stimulate discussions and dialogue on current teacher preparation issues, and for committee members and friends of the committee to remain in contact between meetings. The CTP continues to encourage AAPT members interested in the preparation of physics teachers to become active contributors to the CTP listserv and to attend the CTP meetings at the annual meetings.
Donna Messina, Chair
Review Board Response
The CTP listserve is a valuable asset to anyone involved in teacher preparation and continually provides useful information and related reports. Their cooperation with PTEC, the National Task Force on Teacher Preparation and PhysTEC should continue to provide teacher training institutions information on the latest teaching strategies and training techniques. I encourage the CTP to find additional ways to disseminate this information, such as working closely with ComPADRE to make appropriate web materials available. The CTP sessions continue to be well attended. Their cooperation with other AAPT committees should continue to enhance the quality and attendance of their sponsored sessions. I believe that future reports should include a clearer statement of their purpose and how the activities achieve the goals of the committee.

Committee on Interests of Senior Physicists
Many of our AAPT members may never have seen or in some cases heard of the work of former president Dick Crane. The Crane Tribute went over fairly well for those in attendance. Regrettably, some of the proposed plans for highlighting his work did not come to pass, but to those of us who knew him, recognized the picture of his sculpture on the cover of the Guide. There were great papers on Crane at Caltech, Crane at Michigan, and Crane as an educator.
Meetings of past officers of the AAPT at our Summer Meetings have been meaningful and useful and we would like them to continue in an inexpensive format.
The idea of enriching physics in the classroom is seen as a particularly good task for the committee to take on as a long term project. Physics in Perspective might serve as a starting point for ideas. This would, we are sure, work well in conjunction with the Committee on the History and Philosophy of Physics.
Another effort that could be kept on the front burners would be to seek out physics content papers, encourage more physics content papers, and make known to the general audience at our Meetings the many that are in the Program. Perhaps selecting them out of the huge number of pedagogical papers might make them more visible.
Topical conferences such as those recently on General Relativity, Computational Physics, and Advanced Laboratories (Ann Arbor) play important roles in identifying the AAPT as vitally interested in higher-level physics subjects. Holding such topical conferences in close affiliation with national meetings should work to our advantage.
Tom Rossing currently at Stanford suggested an effort could be made to encourage and assist emeriti to be visiting professors at colleges that need teachers. The Danforth Foundation used to do this. Are there some others that we do not know about? There are a lot of smaller colleges that could make good use of experienced physics teachers and would reward them with a modest honorarium. Tom's life has been much enriched by teaching at University of Edinburgh, Seoul National University, and especially at Stanford since he retired.
Dick Jacob's recently expressed interest in developing an organized bulletin board for such opportunities for retirees (or nearly retirees) to professionally contribute to global or national needs at all levels. For example, Dick Peterson just returned from 5 weeks of teaching in Kenya. Recently, Chris Chiaverina and Brian Jones were involved in international activities as well.
We invited Jan Tobochnik, AJP editor, to come and talk to us about AJP and the difficulty in rousing/choosing strong, interesting articles – especially in historical, cultural, or experimental areas. The discussion was most informative and we hope to do what we can to encourage more papers that are "Devoted to Instructional and Cultural Aspects of Physical Science" as it used to read on the front cover.
John Hubisz, Chair
Review Board Response
The efficiency of the Committee on Interests of Senior Physicists is reflected in the annual report being submitted before being asked. As a result, the format of the report is different so the scoring table was not used in this review. The Executive Board is impressed by the many great ideas the committee has addressed and is considering. Tom Rossing's idea to encourage and assist emeriti potentially could help many of our members. Dick Jacob's idea is complimentary to Tom's. We encourage the committee to work out the details on these projects and bring them to the Executive Board.
The Executive Board has it as one of its goals to increase the physics content at National Meetings. We know this has been a goal of the committee for many years and these efforts may have influenced the Executive Board. The logistics of how to accomplish this is complicated. We encourage recommendations to the Executive Board how this can be achieved by changes in the meeting preparation procedures.
The Committee on Interests of Senior Physicists has the potential to do important work for the association. You are encouraged to undertake projects and develop recommendations to the Executive Board. We want to develop a relationship where the Association can take full advantage of this committee's abilities.

The new US envoy to the United Nations, Richard Holbrooke, has personal experience of how frustrating it can be to negotiate, even when speaking in the name of that mega-cliché, "the world's only superpower." He has a loud voice, and potentially a big stick. One would expect a little more forbearance for the UN, whose negotiating style has perforce to be with a soft voice and a more flaccid stick. However, that did not stop Holbrooke from throwing down the challenge to the UN in Kosovo, implying that it was a make-or-break effort for the world organization. For a different perspective, it is good to turn to Man Without a Gun, a UN chronicle by the soft-spoken but hard-centered diplomat Giandomenico Picco.
I know at least one jaded UN staff member who bought Picco's book for his children, "To show that you can work for the UN and do some good." However, the children may well conclude that there are easier ways to save one's soul than working in an organization that has often required its staff to mouth lofty principles while simultaneously asking them to grovel in the mud before anyone powerful enough to violate those same principles with impunity.
In fact, you could read this account of Picco's career as a textbook on how to fail in a UN career. Picco's original sins are having principles and taking initiative. Either one could make life difficult, but the two together can be fatal to professional longevity in the UN, where almost any action or statement is bound to annoy at least one member state. Nevertheless, Picco himself concludes that "one hundred people who believe deeply that principles should be the guiding light of the UN can alter the course of human events and make a difference for future generations."
He is right in some ways. However, there are far more than a hundred people in the UN system who subscribe to those beliefs, but they rarely have the chance to expose the lights so hermetically sealed under a bureaucratic bushel. As a young Italian staff member, Picco had the good fortune to be spotted by Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. The Peruvian Secretary General contrived a contradictory combination of high press accessibility with low media visibility, and Picco's book helps redress the balance with a much more sympathetic portrait than usual.
A UN Secretary General has a hard time with his management team, most of whose senior members are in fact foisted on him by the permanent five members of the Security Council. Usually, SGs surround themselves with a core team of people they can trust–and clearly in Picco's case Pérez de Cuéllar chose well. Picco has no romantic illusions about the organization. He began work in a department controlled by a Soviet double agent, and his first experience in "the field" was in Cyprus–where even now the jury is out on whether the UN's presence has averted a massive catastrophe or artificially maintained an inherently unstable standoff that could explode at any moment. Later he was involved in the complex diplomatic shadow boxing around Afghanistan, where the UN was helping Mikhail Gorbachev make a dignified withdrawal.

This post is part of a series looking back at the top 10 games of the Bruins' 2010-11 regular season.
There's no doubt 2009-10 was a down year in terms of production for Zdeno Chara.
While his performance is graded on many things before goals, that he only scored seven goals in the season prior to this was a disappointment. With one game in mid-January this season, the Bruins captain not only surpassed his previous year's total but rocked the TD Garden to a fever pitch.
Chara's hat trick in a 7-o rout of Carolina Jan. 11 was exciting enough to rank eighth among the top 10 Bruins games of the 2010-11 season, as picked by TheBruinsBlog.net.
Just 11:28 into the game, Chara emerged from the penalty box and cashed in on a 2-on-1 with Mark Recchi for a 2-0 lead. The goal chased Carolina goaltender Cam Ward to the bench and was Chara's eighth of the season.
Only 4:30 later, Chara extended the lead to 3-0 on a 5-on-3 with a one-timer from above the right dot after a cross-ice pass by David Krejci. To cap off his first NHL hat trick, Chara again converted on a power play, as he ripped a puck through the 5-hole into the back of the net with 5:56 left.
Chara then, in a rare show of regular-season emotion, borrowed from his countryman Peter Bondra and prevented to wave and toss a cap off his head as the Garden faithful showered him and the ice with their head coverings.
That Chara didn't win the Norris Trophy just based on his plus-33 rating accumulated against the league's top lines every night was a bit of a travesty. But with a three-goal night that contributed to his 14-goal season, Chara made sure that his offensive game wouldn't be a hindrance to his award chances.
Chara's hat-trick performance was certainly a night to remember.

A brief look at key policies of South Korea's president-elect Park Geun-hye.
SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY: Park says she's open to dialogue with North Korea's leadership but says large-scale aid depends on whether Pyongyang pushes ahead with dismantling its nuclear arms program. She says dialogue between the Koreas should resume in order to resolve a nuclear stalemate and to build trust needed to restore civilian exchanges.
Park promises to toughen South Korea's military to deter North Korean provocations and calls for dealing with Pyongyang in close cooperation with Seoul's U.S. ally. She demands that Pyongyang apologize for its artillery attack on a South Korean island and the alleged sinking of a South Korean warship in 2010, attacks that left 50 South Koreans dead. Pyongyang denies attacking the ship and blames the South Korean military's live-fire drills as a trigger for its artillery attack.
Park has expressed hope for jointly developing natural resources in North Korea and setting up liaison offices in both Pyongyang and Seoul for dialogue. Park says humanitarian aid for North Korea should continue regardless of political situations.
ECONOMIC AND WELFARE POLICY: Park has called for reforming South Korea's powerful family-run "chaebol" conglomerates but to a degree that regulations do not discourage them from investments. She says her government will toughen penalties for corporate crimes and prohibit new "cross-holding" practices that allow a handful of people to control all subsidiaries under a single conglomerate.
Park says she will nearly triple government spending aimed at supporting small and mid-size companies and promises to increase the country's budget on research and development to 5 percent of the entire GDP by the end of her single, five-year tenure.
Park promises to increase the nation's middle class to 70 percent of the entire population and create massive funds to help more than 3 million South Koreans unable to pay off their debts. Park says she will halve college tuition fees through financial support for students and make sure that a family's third child can go to college without paying tuition, part of her solution to a low birthrate haunting the country's future.
Park also says her government will provide each person aged 65 or above with a monthly pension of about $180 and provide 50,000 new jobs for retired people while making medical care free for some of the most serious illnesses such as cancer.
POLITICAL REFORMS: Park says she will allow special prosecutors to operate independently throughout her tenure to crack down on political corruption. She also calls for laws that force corrupt politicians to pay 30 times the amount they illegally acquired and ban them from being elected for two decades.
She also says she will push for laws aimed at compensating victims under past military governments, including the one led by her father, slain dictator Park Chung-hee.
Park opposes the abolishment of capital punishment, saying it helps prevent serious crimes such as sexual assault and murder. No death penalties have been carried out in South Korea since 1998 when liberal President Kim Dae-jung took office.

Back when Ruby Miller was a student at Morenci High School in the early 1920s, there was an older girl who sat in the row across from her in study hall named Delora Fletcher.
That girl—now Delora Ehlinger—turned 100 years old in 2005.
That means it's time for the younger classmate to take her turn celebrating the century mark.
Friday is Ruby Miller's big day.
Ruby was born in Hillsdale in 1907, but the family soon moved to Morenci. Other than when she followed her husband, Blair, around to various locations while he was in the Navy, Morenci was always home to Ruby.
She attended Davis Business College in Toledo and landed a job with the school as secretary to Morenci superintendent Henry Geisler. Retiring from that job didn't mark the end of her working days. She served as a part-time secretary at Harlo Wells' insurance agency until her mid-70s.
Ruby and Blair first had a home built for them on Orchard Street. This is where they raised their two daughters, Lucy and Jane, who both graduated from Morenci High School.
Later, as the west end of Morenci was developed, the Millers moved into a ranch home on Chestnut Street. Long after Blair's untimely death, Ruby moved into an apartment in the York Hills II senior complex.
Ruby's birthday was always just Dec. 7 until 1941. Then, of course, it was always associated with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Dad was in the service then," said Ruby's daughter, Lucy Brown, "and it was a very uneasy time."
Blair was serving in the Atlantic Ocean at the time, but the war brought worries to many parts of the globe.
In honor of her husband's service, Ruby has crocheted hundreds of lap afghans for the Veterans Hospital in Ann Arbor.
"I'll bet she's done a thousand," Lucy said.
For years, Ruby created 30 to 40 over the winter and two or three dozen more during the summer.
She's also donated many afghans to the Chelsea Methodist Home.
Ruby was an avid reader over the years and she also built an enormous thimble collection.
When she's home in Morenci, she always enjoys visiting friends at York Hills and at the Senior Citizens Center for lunch.
Ruby and Blair traveled to many countries around the world and after his death, Ruby traveled with friends.
Many centenarians have large lists of family members, but that isn't the case with Ruby. She has just four grandchildren, one of whom is deceased, and five great-grandchildren.
She's staying with Lucy in Arizona this winter and she'll also spend some time in their Upper Peninsula home in the spring. Her other daughter, Jane Russell, lives in Pinckney, Mich., during the warm months and in Florida for the winter.
Eventually Ruby will find her way back to her apartment, in the city she's always considered home.
"Morenci means a lot to her," Lucy said.

I'm sure I will hear from the Ubuntu Army after my Windows 8 review runs in the October issue of GCN, especially with the realization that hardware built for that OS won't allow itself to boot if another operating system is placed on it. It can be done with a little modification, but I bet it won't sit well with Linux users.
Ubuntu is actually one of the cleanest versions of Linux out there, with all the advantages and flaws that go along with that status. And it was approved in 2010 by the General Services Administration for use on federal systems, joining flavors from Red Hat (in use by the White House, Army, Navy and other agencies) and Novell.
Ubuntu users are proud that their OS is the least commercialized, and the least bogged down with bloated programs and features that aren't needed. It's kind of the opposite of Red Hat in that respect, which seems to be doing everything it can to make itself look and act like Windows, with all the advantages and flaws that come with that.
So I was pretty shocked to hear that Ubuntu (after an ancient African word meaning "humanity to others") was adding Amazon-sponsored search links directly into the Dash part of the Home Lens page, which means they come up whenever a user performs a search. That's kind of like selling $15 bottles of Pepsi-branded water at the modern Woodstock festival and claiming that there is still a connection to the past.
So why is Amazon suddenly showing up on the browser of the most counter-culture OS in the world? Easy answer: money.
The folks who make Ubuntu get a small percentage of every sale made from one of those Amazon links, and that money is needed to help further develop the OS, according to company officials.
So in a sense, if you happen to be a hardcore Ubuntu fan, the best thing you can do actually is buy things from those Amazon links to help keep your OS as clean and bloat-free as it is today. You can hold your nose when you do it if you want, or simply buy something really fun. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, after all.

Funny how you completely missed the point, the issue is PRIVACY. I don't want Amazon.com knowing every goddamned search I make for files on my computer!
This is an absolute deal breaker for me.
Is nothing sacred: Ubuntu goes commercial?
Well, if Ubuntu doesn't watch its bottom line & balance its budget how will it pay its bills.
I support the fact that Ubuntu must be financially viable.
Love Ubuntu. But everyone needs to eat. Ubuntu is open source and staying that way. That is what matters. This is a great revenue idea that helps support the development of a great operating environment. I am shopping on Amazon anyway, why not support Ubuntu as well?
Thanks for explaining the Amazon search links in Ubuntu.
John, you said, "I'm sure I will hear from the Ubuntu Army after my Windows 8 review..."
Here's my 2¢ worth a little early. This Ubuntu foot soldier's response to the Microsoft Secure Boot "feature" is to not buy my (third) Dell this fall but rather to switch to System 76.
We little people are well aware we can't outshout the giants, but guess what? We can still vote with our feet.
A little more clarification: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1182
They are not ads, but searches Amazon for products. This is just the start of great things down the road where you can search through the dash for just about anything. You can turn this off if you wish. Amazon is just the first to get in.

Liver Cysts
I was diagnosed with hepatic cyst. What does that mean?
Many people find out they have cysts in the liver when they have ultrasounds or CT scans done for other reasons. If the cysts are small and not changing in size and not causing symptoms, usually there is no problem with them.

Another View -- Pia Carusone: How to reduce gun violence and respect the 2nd AmendmentPIA CARUSONE
January 23. 2014 10:24PM
Granite staters understand better than most the importance of the Second Amendment. Guns are a necessary part of life, whether for protection or for sport. The North Country would be unlivable without them. And hunting is critical to New Hampshire's economy, contributing more than $61 million annually. If anything, guns are a way of life.
In the hands of law-abiding Granite Staters, guns serve to protect families and communities. But as we learned in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy, in the wrong hands, guns can also terrorize those same communities.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and retired Navy Captain Mark Kelly, founders of Americans for Responsible Solutions — and both gun owners — are committed to finding common-sense solutions to prevent gun violence in our communities. More than 80 percent of Granite Staters also understand the need to strike that balance when it comes to gun rights and responsibilities.
While Congress has failed to act on this issue, it is encouraging to see New Hampshire lawmakers engaged in a discussion of how to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands. A number of bills currently under consideration protect the Second Amendment rights of responsible Granite Staters and prevent the most dangerous people from accessing firearms.
Federal law requires that individuals seeking to buy a gun at a licensed dealer pass a background check to prevent criminals, domestic abusers, the seriously mentally ill and other dangerous people from purchasing firearms. Since the NICS instant background check system was implemented in 1998, background checks have denied transfers to more than 2 million prohibited purchasers.
While those 2 million prohibited purchasers include some New Hampshire criminals, the list doesn't include some of the dangerously mentally ill.
Fundamentally, gun violence stems from the most dangerous people in America having easy access to guns, a small number of whom are capable of horrendous acts due to severe mental illness. For that reason, federal law seeks to prevent those who have been adjudicated by the courts from passing a background check. This happens through a process that includes courts, judges and due process. It's a high bar, as it should be. It is important not to stigmatize the mentally ill because the vast majority of Americans living with mental illness pose no threat to public safety.
But New Hampshire is leaving its communities vulnerable by not including the names of adjudicated severely mentally ill in the background check system. These individuals are prohibited from possessing guns, but a New Hampshire gun dealer currently has no way of knowing that. The threat is real: People could be committed to a mental healthcare facility because of the danger they pose to themselves and others, but still be able to buy as many guns as they want. Senate Bill 244 would require the state submit a list of names of people who already cannot possess a gun under this federal law to the NICS instant background check system. This appears to be an extremely balanced approach to preventing gun violence, given the fact that 37 other states have already complied.
The New Hampshire State House is also engaging in a discussion about expanding background checks to all private sales, with some exceptions. House Bill 1589 would require that all firearms be sold or transferred through a licensed firearms dealer, preventing private sales or sales through the Internet or at gun shows from being conducted without background checks. While common-sense implementation is needed, so as to prevent undue burdens on law-abiding gun sellers and buyers, expanding background checks to all gun sales would only go further in protecting New Hampshire communities.
As one of the earliest political bellwethers in the country, it is not surprising that the nation is focused on New Hampshire this month. Time and again, Granite Staters have led the rest of the country in choosing Presidents by highlighting issues of importance and finding a balanced candidate to send through to the national stage. It is time for New Hampshire to find that balance again to help protect our families and communities.
Pia Carusone is executive director of Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly. Carusone formerly worked for 1st District U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter of Rochester.

Rose gets Bruce Conner work for 50th anniversary
Original film triptych 'EVE-RAY-FOREVER' appeared at Rose in 1965
In celebration of its upcoming 50th anniversary, the Rose Art Museum has a provocative new piece that, like the building itself, is beginning a second life."EVE-RAY-FOREVER (1965/2006)," a triptych film installation originally shown at The Rose as part of the late artist Bruce Conner's first major museum exhibition, in 1965, was born again after an unsuccessful attempt to restore it in 2001.
"It was a really daring and amazing choice by The Rose," says Dabney Hailey, the museum's academic programs director. "It was controversial. It made people uncomfortable – in a good way."
A Kansas native who later relocated to San Francisco and immersed himself in Beat culture, Conner emerged as an artist in the late 1950s and quickly became known for his assembled sculptures, collages, drawings and experimental films.
The work includes three black and white, silent, unsynchronized videos projected side by side.
Always a proponent of "recycling, reusing, reappropriating and borrowing," according to Hailey, Conner composed the original triptych in 1965 of fragments of previous creations spliced together.
"The film that made up the triptych was all film that he had used somewhere else in a different way," Hailey says.
Using three small projectors, Conner originally showed the films, silently, in a cordoned off a section of The Rose, which eventually became a common practice in galleries.
"People were in the same space as the projector," Hailey says. "Film was supposed to be a fantasy. You weren't supposed to see how the projector runs. It's taboo."
Back then, the 8mm film, transferred from 16mm film Conner originally used, ran on a loop for the full five or six hours the museum was open each day, with no fixed beginning or end; it began when a viewer started to watch it, and ended when the viewer chose to leave.
The 8mm cartridges were The Rose's first acquisition of moving images. In 2001, then-director Joseph Ketner approached Conner about restoring the work, and Conner decided to recreate the piece from scratch because the cartridges were too delicate to be restored. The original 16mm film from which they were made was also unavailable, as Conner had cut them over the years to use in creating other new pieces.In a departure from his long-held belief in the natural disintegration of art, Conner digitally recreated "EVE-RAY-FOREVER (1965/2006)," frame by frame, over the course of several years.
"The result is a physically new object. It's a simulation of the original, or recreation, instead of restoration," Hailey says. "It's an artist looking back late in life and realizing this piece he made didn't exist anymore but he could make it again."
The community is invited to celebrate the Rose Art Museum's 50th anniversary on Thursday, Oct. 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. On view in the newly renovated museum will be three exhibitions showcasing the university's famed permanent collection.

Mod 13, are comments allowed on this thread?
Thanks for your response Vynn.
I think that, if we're getting into specific issues or grievances either with individual members of staff or with the staff generally, then I would have to say that these stray into sensitive and potentially "dramatic" areas that are best dealt with via Personal Message, not on the public board.
As far as the specific situation you describe is concerned, I think it antedates my tenure here, so I don't have any particular stake in the affair and am happy to act as a kind of mediator and sounding-board if that would help. I'm also happy to listen to suggestions. Given the sensitivity of the subject, though, it might be an idea to PM me your suggestions first. Hope that helps.Thirteen
There are two issues which seem to want to be addressed. The first is swamping new users with responses.
The second concern is tone.

Fire department moves into new station
Fire officials moved into the new station May 4, Town Administrator Tom Gaydos said."They're settling in nicely," Gaydos said on Monday. "There's still boxes to unpack, but once that happens, we'll be scheduling an open house."
While a date for the open house hasn't been nailed down yet, it will likely take place early this summer, Gaydos said.With two new roundabouts being built in the town center and the old fire station around the corner being torn down and replaced with public green space, town officials said their town's central hub will be given a newer, more modern appearance."The old town center is going to look really different, and we think those changes will definitely be for the better," said Gaydos.
Bedford's Eckman Construction broke ground on the $3.9 million fire station, located in the town complex on Marsh Road next to Pelham's Town Hall, library and police station, this past June. Salem's Trident Project Advantage Group consulted with town officials on the project.Voters overwhelmingly approved the new fire station during the March 2012 town meeting.
Fire officials said the station, built of concrete, is designed to stand the test of time while accommodating expected staff and equipment increases in the coming years."I think any time a town extends its municipal structure, it sends the general message that we're growing," Planning Director Jeff Gowan said. "Businesses in the area, both existing and new, will definitely benefit from a larger, better equipped fire station."Gowan said construction on the roundabouts, a $4.5 million state DOT project, is months behind schedule, mainly due to delays in public infrastructure improvements.
Once completed, however, the roundabouts, located near the entrance to the town's municipal complex at Village Green and further down Marsh Road near the former fire station, will tackle traffic safety and congestion issues that have become problematic in recent years.Gowan said the Village Green roundabout would be mostly completed this summer, though the one near the old fire station wouldn't be done until sometime next year.
The finishing touches will include sidewalks and landscaped, central firstname.lastname@example.com
