The Miami Hurricanes and South Carolina Gamecocks will meet in the 2014 Independence Bowl. The Independence bowl will be played on December 27th, 2014 at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana. Miami enters the Independence Bowl riding a 3 game losing streak. But the offensive tandem of Brad Kaaya and Duke Johnson was one of the most dangerous in the ACC this season. They will take on a South Carolina defense that has struggled for most of the season. The player to watch for the Gamecocks in the Independence Bowl will be receiver Pharoh Cooper.
The 2013 Independence Bowl will be played on Tuesday, December 31st at 11:30 AM between the Arizona Wildcats and the Boston College Eagles. The Boston College Eagles are a team no one expected to be here, but winning four of their last 5 games got them a bowl invite. BC won their first two games of the season against Villanova and Wake Forest before losing the next two against USC and Florida State. The 14-point loss to the Seminoles was actually the closest any team got to Florida State all season. BC won games against Virginia Tech, New Mexico State, NC State and Maryland to get bowl eligible. Andre Williams is the player to keep an eye on, as the tailback rushed for over 2100 yards this season to go along with 17 TDs.
The Wildcats finished fourth in the Pac-12 South, and looked destined for big things after a 6-2 start to the season. They won their first three games of the season, including a 58-13 drubbing of UNLV. Arizona lost its next two games to Washington and USC, before winning the next three over Utah, Colorado and Cal. The Wildcats lost their first game to UCLA at home since 2003, even though they almost mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback. Ka'Deem Carey is one of the best running backs in the country and ran for over 1700 yards for the Wildcats this season.
2011 Advocare V100 Bowl Game Preview: The ACC will be taking a newly added SEC foe this bowl season when the 8-5 UNC Tarheels head to Shreveport, Louisiana to take on the 7-5 Missouri Tigers in the Independence Bowl. This is UNC's fourth straight bowl appearance, while Missouri's on its sixth straight year bowling. The key for a UNC win will be to stop the run, since the Tigers' are ranked twelfth in the nation in rushing. While the Tarheels have a good rush game, they also have a great quarterback in Bryn Renner, who will attempt to attack a susceptible Tiger pass-defense.
2010 Independence Bowl Game Preview: The groundskeepers who work at Independence Stadium in Shreveport should get ready to do some extra work for the Independence Bowl on December 27th. That's because the two teams playing in this year's Independence Bowl—the Mountain West's Air Force Falcons and the ACC's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets—are the two most run-oriented teams in the nation, combining to throw 299 times all season combined.
The Yellow Jackets' ground game is led by ACC first team selection Anthony Allen, who had 1,225 yards on the season. However, his work wasn't able to overcome the many losses the team had from its ACC title-winning team from last year. A new defense and starting quarterback Joshua Nesbitt breaking his arm in the middle of the season didn't help matters, either. Nesbit, a senior who rushed for 737 yards in nine games, is hoping to come back for his last game against an Air Force team who battled MWC foes and top-20 school TCU and Utah to get here.
While the Falcons' running attack is the main focus of the team, the offense is centered around quarterback Tim Jefferson, whose 15 touchdowns on the ground and 10 in the air helped stabilize their offense. Also more stable was their defense, which didn't suffer as many losses as the Tech side did, and therefore a little more cohesive than the Yellow Jacket unit that ranked 60th nationally in points allowed.
2009 Independence Bowl Game Preview: The 2009 Independence Bowl will matchup two traditional powers in an exciting bowl games. The Texas A&M Aggies will face off against the Georgia Bulldogs. The Ags will be led by star quarterback Jerrod Johnson and Head Coach Mike Sherman. A&M wants to win the Independence bowl game to finish the 2009 season with a winning record. Georgia head coach Mark Richt wants to finish strong to carry momentum into a run at the SEC next season. Expect a lot of fireworks at the 2009 Independence Bowl, it should be a great game.
2008 Independence Bowl Game Preview: Head out to the 2008 Independence Bowl game for some live-action college football mayhem in Shreveport, Louisiana. This year, the Independence Bowl – aptly named for its inauguration in the 1976 bicentennial year – will pit the Northern Illinois Huskies vs. the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Grab some tickets to the Independence Bowl and watch this truly American college football bowl game!

InfoWorld pays tribute to the humble Windows bug -- ground zero for several of the most colossal security meltdowns IT has ever endured. From share-level password flaws, to Web server traversal vulnerabilities, to overflow after overflow, the past decade of Windows flaws and patches and exploits has given IT one hot cup of hell after another -- all while giving rise to entire industries built around protecting users from malware authors who themselves have matured their practices to juvenile pranks to moneymaking criminal enterprises. Microsoft has been noted as the fastest vendor to patch OS flaws, to be sure, but the hits keep on coming. Perhaps it is high time for another OS vulnerability scorecard.

Simple Machines > News and Updates
SMF 1.1.14 has been released
(1/16) > >>
Simple Machines announces the release of SMF 1.1.14, addressing a vulnerability found in SMF 1.1.13 allowing display name spoofing as well as fixing a MySQL 5.5 compatibility issue. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade as soon as possible.
Upgrade automatically by visiting your Administration Center, where a notice will be displayed prompting you to upgrade. Click the link, confirm the changes and your forum will be up to date again. Additionally, you can upgrade using the package manager by downloading the SMF 1.1.13 to SMF 1.1.14 upgrade package from Package Manger Updates section, uploading it to the Package Manager, and applying it as prompted. For help with this refer to the Package Manager section of the Online Manual.
If you cannot upgrade using the package manager, please follow the instructions posted in the Online Manual about installing and upgrading.
It may be necessary to apply the upgrade manually if mod conflicts mean that you cannot install the patch through the package manager. Instructions for doing this can be found on manual upgrades page for SMF 1.1.13.
SMF 1.0.x branch is not affected by this issue. So, for those still using the SMF 1.0.x branch, no change is necessary.
Please note:
As of today, 1.1.14 is no longer the stable branch of SMF, as SMF 2.0 is being released as we speak. 1.1.14 will remain in maintenance stage, and it will continue to be supported for security and major/critical functionality fixes, only it will not receive new features, nor minor bug fixes or improvements.
Finally - please do not use this topic for any support requests. You will get a much more prompt response by visiting the relevant support board!
Simple Machines Forum Team
Thanks for clearing those things up.
Finally! Thank you! Although i have to say i'm disappointed with "it will not receive new features, nor minor bug fixes or improvements."
SMF 1.1.14 currently has 15 known bugs according to the bug tracker: http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/my_view_page.php (select 1.1 from the list).
Now that 2.0 is out, i really hope that the devs will find a little time to completely fix the 1.1.x branch, even if it's one bug per week/month.
Thank you very much for clearing things up. Nice to know it'll be supported even though 2.0 Gold is now released. (I have some friends who still use, and enjoy using the 1.1.x branch).
Thank you all :)

I hear it's so much better when someone else adjusts all the straps for you.
Both sides (as well as Windows and MacOS desktops) need to learn that it is not acceptable to lock me out of my own device.... under any circumstance.
It is not acceptable to encrypt any communication in a way that *** I *** as the owner of the device am refused from seeing what is sent. In other words, my device shall not be used to keep me out of the loop. Trust is between me and my device and me and any company I choose to deal with. Not between the company and my device.
Sadly the US Congress (and possibly the EU Parliament) disagrees with you.
They've passed numerous laws that say device makers can encrypt data, in order to prevent the user from violated (possibly) copyrighted material. VCRs did it first, then DVD players, then DVRs, next cable/dish systems, and now computers and cellphones.
the definition of open: "mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make"
The best part is Andy Rubin started as an engineer at Apple in 1989.
Hate to get all Stallman on you, but any definition of open that doesn't include "make install" is rather weak.
The tweet is FUD... He missed the most important part.. How do you install this on a Droid or most other
Android devices? You need to root it just like you do to jailbreak a iPhone.
Android devices are far from open.. Don't believe the hype... My hope is for
a Ubuntu tablet.. Maybe that will actually be open...
MeeGo [wikipedia.org], man.
Ah, you've misread who it's "open" for..
BSD/Apache style licenses intend to provide "openness" for developers and hardware makers.
GPL(especially v3) intends to provide openness for the end user.
Both are valid, but different. Android is mostly Apache 2.0 licensed, and that decision and thinking show through the Android ecosystem.
But the openness doesn't come from the handset itself. Unless you buy direct from a manufacturer, the handsets will be locked down to the specifications of whichever service provider you bought it from.
Androids openness comes from the distribution of the platform. Once you do root you have an incredible amount of options and level of freedom on an Android device. Much more AFAIK than on any iOS device.
The tweet is FUD... He missed the most important part.. How do you install this on a Droid or most other
Android devices?
If you are compiling your own operating systems, maybe you should get a developer phone? You can install anything you want on those.
You need to root it just like you do to jailbreak a iPhone.
That's FUD. If your phone is locked down by your carrier or manufacturer, yes you'd need to root it. However, that's where similarities stop - i.e. try compiling your own version of iOS - that's right, you can't, it's NOT open source. That's the difference.
Android devices are far from open.
Most are locked down. Dev phones are not. Most that are locked down are easily rooted.
The big difference, again, is the operating system, not a device. Anyone - i.e. any startup tech company - can take Android source code and start making and selling their own cool devices based on it. That's the advantage of it being open source.
That would be meaningful if I could put that into a usable device without voiding all of my carrier user agreements.
"Somewhere out there is a magical open android!"
"If it's not on my phone I don't care."
Didn't Dodsworth from Tweetdeck say that he had only two guys on the Android port, and fragmentation wasn't really an issue?
Yes, and Steve Jobs mentioned that as the only example of how fragmentation is an issue for development.
Very funny because the report he referred to was actually a praise to Android.
Big fail there. I would like to know if he said that due to ignorance or if he was just that bad at lying.
It's merely lying to save face with the moronic investors during a "not-as-good-as-we-thought" quarter. Let's fix those awful quotes and inject some truthiness into them:
"When selling to users who want their devices not to suck, we believe a walled garden will be less confusing than and open one, every time. And we also think our developers can be more innovative if they can target a singular platform in our choice of development environment, rather than choose their own. And not piss us off with any of t
He probably meant in in the same way at his last press conference he said the iPod Touch was the largest mobile gaming platform on the planet having sold double the number of mobile gaming devices as Sony and Nintendo put together. Except, there's about 300 million Nintendo DS' and PSPs out there, but only 30 million iPod touches.
Then there was the one about 275,000 iPhone activations per day on average, which would equate to 100 million a year, except even their best iPhone quarter so far they've only shif
Jailbreak your iPhone and install what you want.
Re-Rom your Android and install what you want.
What's the difference?
iStuff just works until you want to do something Steve hasn't pre-approved. At which point it just doesn't work.
"When selling to users who want their devices to just work, we believe integrated will trump fragmented every time. And we also think our developers can be more innovative if they can target a singular platform rather than a hundred variants."
Integrated vs fragmented. He's just trying to redefine the terms in his favor.
Open > Closed
Integrated > Fragmented
Well done Steve.
Integrated vs fragmented. He's just trying to redefine the terms in his favor.
Open > Closed
Integrated > Fragmented
Well done Steve.
It all depends on who is buying, as he said: "When selling to users who want their devices to just work"
If you are a grandma that just got such a device, you will be on the "users who want their devices just to work" category. If you read slashdot, you are likely not in that category and instead in the "i want to tweak this thing to no end" category, in that case, obviously iOS devices are not for you.
Yeah, but to be fair one of his points was that the current terms were created by what he views as the open source community. The terms were already defined to put his product in a bad light. Of course he is trying to redefine terms in the debate, the current terms are unfair.
His main point, about Android not in fact being an open community, was really spot on. Android might be "open" as in FOSS, but most of the community is definitely not able to take advantage of Android's openness.
Android only has one problem - Google doesn't make a phone.
If Google actually made and sold a reasonably competitive phone then they could point to it and say "hey, here's the hardware that runs the software. You can do whatever you want with it." That's open.
What they really have is some software that is technically open, but there's no hardware to run it on. Which makes Android phones about as open as a router that runs Linux and distributes the code but doesn't give you any way to install your changes
The thing you're overlooking is that there is one operating system that binds together all of those 'fragmented' hardware components from multiple manufacturers: Windows, with a consistent user interface.
What we're seeing in the Android space is much more akin to the Linux desktop model: it's all "linux" but it looks and feels different from device to device, because manufacturers insist on rolling their own interfaces (KDE, Gnome, et. al.), and multiple interfaces in the mind of a consumer = "totally dif
Honestly, most of the "problems" with Android I actually consider to be strengths. Now the "fragmented" argument, yes, I can see where that can hurt in the long run, but then again, PC's are quite fragmented yet which has a larger hold after all these years, Apple or PC?
PC fragmentation is in hardware, Android fragmentation is in Software, the OS it self. The dominant PC OS is Windows which, what ever else you can say about Microsoft, does an amazing job at providing a consistent (and IMHO crappy, but still consistent) software user experience across an amazing and bewildering array of often depressingly low quality PC hardware. Stability sometimes suffers mostly due to crappy hardware but the consistency of the user experience is the same. MS has also done a fairly decent
Wow, what an overheated headline. Jobs did not "lash out". He gave very reasoned response and delineated the significant differences in the philosophy and design of the 2 platforms. It wasnt an angry rant by any means.
You must own an iPhone
But seriously, the idea that "integrated" gives the app developer the ability to be more innovative is simply not true when the reality is Apple is the gatekeeper and any app they don't like they just remove from their "integrated" marketplace. His response was not reasoned, it was a marketing ploy. A "reasoned response" would be "We at Apple feel like the users get a better experience when we have full control over what you can and can't do with a device. Since most people a
A "reasoned response" would be "We at Apple feel like the users get a better experience when we have full control over what you can and can't do with a device. Since most people are idiots, the average user is happier when we make decisions for them. True freedom results in a worse experience, so we don't believe in freedom." At least that would be intellectually honest.
Thats a reasoned response, but certainly not an intellectually honest one.
Apple is playing gatekeeper because Apple is protecting its other interests. You paid half a grand for that iPhone, but thats not enough. They also want to nickel and dime you on the content you consume. Sure, there are some free apps, and some free music, and some free videos.. but you are still in their store getting it.
Sometime in the late 80s I was watching the news and they kept using the term "fiery car crash" versus "traffic accident" in one news story. It literally went like this:
"This just in, a fiery car crash on I-95 has stopped traffic in both directions for miles. The cause of the fiery car crash is as yet unknown. Tom is live at the scene. Tom, what can you tell us about the fiery car crash?"
So it's fine that they're letting us know that it's "fiery" and all, but that was my first taste of true news sensationalism taking to an idiotic degree. It's continued ever since. And don't lash out at me to tell me it's always been like this. Even if you're just explaining your experience.
Tired all of those choices that TWO things can offer? Confused by those floaty things that enter your vision and then move away when you try to focus on them? Scared by things that don't outright hug you?
Then you should buy Apple!
Apple... for when thinking takes too much thought.
Isn't this the same "Cathedral vs. the Bazaar" argument?
I want a phone that will let me install whatever app I choose to install regardless of who made it or what store sold it. For me, Android and BlackBerry work best. For the not-so-techy or those who don't care if they're in a walled garden, an iOS device will suit them just fine.
Yeah, right. iOS is about as fragmented as Android is. And the people I've talked to with iPhones older than version 4 are having real troubled with the latest version of iOS on their iPhone 3* phones - majorly slow is what I've heard.
While there is _some_ truth to Android not being as open as Google would lay claim to, it's certainly more open than iOS is, and when it comes t getting an app out, Android is the platform benchmark for letting anyone release an app. Apple's a joke in this area. I don't know how app distribution works on Blackberry/Windows Phone platforms, though.
You can not only release your own app on your own website, you can actually open your own Android app MARKETPLACE. Sorry, but that's a level of openness Apple can't and won't compete with.
has arguably the most arbitrary and capricious process for vetting the applications produced for its platform of any platform provider around?
Seriously, my God man, it takes balls so big you need to be checked for testicular cancer to have Apple's track record in dealing with iPhone developers to get on Google's case here.
Sure, maybe the Android platform will end up truly and badly fragmented, but it is not there yet. Furthermore, at least there is always the option of people creating their custom images and processes for helping end users get around vendor crap.
'Changing the subject'.
"Folks have been saying your platform seems a bit proprietary and closed."
"Hey, how about them White Sox?"
"Your platform might be proprietary and closed."
"Yeah, well so is your mother!"
"Your platform is proprietary and closed."
"Oh yeah? Well, you just must not like having a good experience with your phone."
The problem is that all the more reasonable responses might paint them into a corner where they have to offer an option for a sandbox for a more open use of their platform - and their strategy precludes that as an option. So, like with elections where offering a valid option to voters is too risky (to your various monied interests), insulting the other option becomes the rule of the day.

There's a better term for it; the non sequitur. The last haven for politicians and snake oil salesmen. When honed to perfection, the listener never even realizes he's no longer listening to an answer.
"I believe we should remove all references to Christianity from our government."
"Well, you must hate Jesus!"
"I disagree with this war."
"You're either a coward or a traitor!"
That's a curious example, seeing as how Nintendo's Wii has stomped all over the competition. Nintendo has some interesting parallels to Apple.
He's scared of Android.
He's scared of open platforms.
His choice of words "fragmented" and "Integrated" are cleverly chosen word associations that he hopes sway you.
Funny that he took the complete opposite stance on Flash. He claimed it was "Closed" and dead... and would not be allowed on the iPhone... which here he admits is closed itself... or in his clever wording "Integrated".
Jobs... You're a businessman.... but your not honest.
I think the real difference is "just work" vs "just work the way I want it to". There is certainly a market for "just work". There are enough people willing to conform their work habits to a device's paradigm to make a device manufacturer a very good living. Apple was successful at this, Microsoft less so, because Apple has an interface that's useful and intuitive and people enjoyed using the device. And Windows Mobile... well, that's a different article.
Jobs seems to have drawn the wrong conclusion from this -- that the primary success of the iphone is because every device works the same. The obvious argument to this is that I don't use every device, I only use the device I own, and it works the same every day. The real success of the iphone is that it provides a better experience. And it truly does. I'm surprised that Jobs appears to have forgotten this.
Android also provides a better experience, with the added wrinkle that you can choose the experience you want by choosing a different device and/or customizing the device you have. To people who want to bend a device to their workflow, instead of bending their workflow to a device, this has considerable appeal.
I think what Apple is missing out on is the customizable aspect of personal devices. And before you say it, this is not a nerd only thing. My 16 year old daughter reports that android is becoming more popular with her circle of friends partly because they *are* different (or can be made different) instead of everything having the exact same device with the exact same interface running the exact same apps. (Daughter turned down the iPhone for a Galaxy S and hasn't touched her iPod Touch since she got it.)
Jobs can continue to rant about conformity, fanbois and people who genuinely want a device that "just works" will continue to buy his devices, and he'll do really well. For the rest of us, there's Android.
But.... Listening to Jobs rave about everyone using exactly the same device, I can't help but flash back to that original Mac commercial in 1984. Walt Kelly was right.
Anyone who uses PlaysForSure as an example of an "Open" technology is spewing random bullshit with NOTHING to back it up... I'll get more information from fldksjc;jlssdljl than such random baseless claims.
PlaysForSure failed because it was a fundamentally closed technology, designed with the express purpose of closing down the devices it was installed on. Being closed doesn't work unless you have major market share (which Apple does in the music realm.)
Jobs never does stuff like this. He is very worried. He must have gotten a peak the latest Android growth figures. It's not slowing or even staying the same, it's exploding at a rate Apple can't match on several fronts. Manufacturing alone has to be the biggest worry. They just can't match the output of HTC, Samsung, and Motorola who are all spitting them out as fast as they can. That doesn't even scratch the surface. With all these smartphones coming out, you are going to be able to buy them for next to nothing or even get them free. Apple doesn't want any part of that, but it's coming.
The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the `social sciences' is: some do, some don't. -- Ernest Rutherford

With UEFA Europa League debutants Levante UD living out a new chapter in their history, UEFA.com goes behind the scenes with evergreen defender Juanfran and prominent housekeeper José Ramón Ferrer, who nurtures a "second home" – the Liga team's museum.
Having served the Valencia-based club for more than a quarter of a century, Ferrer is not confined to the museum. He epitomises Levante's strong ties with their supporters and the local community, helping to prepare the pitch and the stadium on matchdays with meticulous attention to detail.
"[The museum] took some time to put together. I started ten to 12 years ago and it has become the place you are seeing right now," said Ferrer. "This is my second home because my entire life is projected here."
Juanfran returned to Levante in 2010, 13 years after leaving for Valencia CF, and also feels at home. "I went to watch the team play when I was a kid with my grandparents.

Thanks to Entangled Publishing, I have a shiny new digital copy of Tamara Morgan's Playing with Fire to give to one of you! This is a fun, action-packed read. See my review here.
Fiona Nelson has always been one hot ticket—even before she took the conversion serum that gave her superhuman abilities. Fiona's powers come at a price: lack of human contact, or she won't be the only thing burning. When she loses control of her emotions, her fire powers run rampant…and she's hurt enough people already.
Including herself.
But when the man behind her conversion returns to blackmail her into helping him gain power, the only person she can turn to is Ian Jones, the man who broke her teenage heart. The man determined to expose the criminal known as Fireball, whose explosive escapades are just a little too close to Fiona's M.O.
Ian is convinced Fiona's dangerous, convinced she's Fireball, and convinced he'll damn himself if he doesn't resist a heat that's always drawn him to Fiona like a moth to a flame—but Ian has his own secrets.
And he'll learn far too soon what happens when you play with fire.

Get Quick Online Answers with Live Chat and Live Text
April 22, 2013 —
Reference librarians across the 10 branches are available most hours that libraries are open for "Live Chat" and "Live Text." They work anywhere you have Internet access. Both options are online, interactive reference services. You can find them in the footer of the Library home page, thelibrary.org.
It means you can chat online or text one-to-one, right then, to get help with any topic or information you need. They're experts at researching questions in the Library's electronic and print collections. (It's best to call specific branches if you have questions about hours, library card accounts, fines, etc.)
For Live Chat, just click the icon, type in your question and click "send." For Live Text, just dial the number listed there – 417-763-3435 – from a text-capable device. If a librarian is not available for live answers, the icon will say "Chat offline," and the phone number for Live Text will not be visible.
If that happens, you can always call your neighborhood library, or click on "Ask a Librarian" at the top of the website, thelibrary.org, and submit your written question. Staff makes every effort to respond to those questions within 24 hours.
Chat sessions can't provide lengthy answers to complex questions, but librarians will do their best to provide full answers or sources for more extensive research.
The next time you need some help, try Live Chat or Live Text, and tap into some of the area's best resources – your librarians.

Social media. Smartphone apps. Online message boards. No longer are they just tools that we use to share cat videos, sell an old dining room set or take "selfies." They have become sophisticated mechanisms that we can use to truly improve our lives, like share big transformational ideas, increase awareness of important issues, or raise funds for life-improving causes. We can even manage our health care.
For many people living with HIV in our country, getting the health care they need isn't always easy. And even once they get into care, staying in that care can present its own set of barriers and challenges. For one grantee of AIDS United's Retention in Care initiative, supported by the MAC AIDS Fund, that's where some of our latest technology can help!
Just a two-hour drive from Washington D.C., the University of Virginia Ryan White Clinic serves patients from many parts of the state, as well as from the neighboring states of North Carolina and West Virginia. Patients of the clinic, which is ensconced in the Blue Ridge Mountains, often have to negotiate barriers to their care that are regrettably common to rural communities, including distance, isolation, poverty, and stigma. The result of those barriers? Twenty percent no-show rates to appointments. More than 100 days between a first clinic visit and starting life-saving care and treatment.
"We have found that many of the patients in our area, particularly young patients, never make it into care after testing positive for HIV, or do so after a significant delay, said Dr. Rebecca Dillingham, Positive Links Principal Investigator and a provider at the UVa Ryan White Clinic. "We had to get creative."
So the UVa Ryan White Clinic developed The Positive Links Project with George Reynolds, President & CEO of Health Decision Technologies, to help overcome some of these barriers to staying in HIV care that their patients face. The heart of the Positive Links Program is an easy-to-use smartphone app that includes:
The elements of the smartphone app are enhanced and strengthened by other in-person components, including "check-in" meetings with the Positive Link Project team members, and referrals to intensive counseling opportunities for issues like depression or intimate partner conflict.
To promote the app to those who would most use it, Positive Links Coordinator, Colleen Laurence, said that the Positive Links Project team has developed collaborations with the UVa Ryan White Clinic Client Advisory Board, area AIDS Service Organizations, community organizations, and local filmmakers to develop videos to support people who are newly-diagnosed with HIV.
Laurence said that the project has seen success in helping its participants stay connected to their care.
"The different elements of our program -- the Positive Links app, the "Welcome to the Clinic" videos, and counseling opportunities – work in concert to facilitate better linkage to care and strengthen support for people reaching out for help from geographic and socially isolated areas," she said.
Participants in the program are also pleased with how the project is working for them.
"Each and every one of us who uses this app is making a difference in the future of someone else's life, battling every day of this new journey," said one of the participants. "…we all are making a difference together one day, one app, and click at a time."
The Positive Links team is excited about the future of the Positive Links Project.
"We are confident that, with our Positive Links team and thoughtful, engaged participants, we have a program that is at once intimate –allowing people to connect across seemingly large gulfs in experience – and edgy and independent, enabling them to take ownership in their HIV care and general health and well-being," Laurence said.

Grundy County Corn Festival Queen Natalie Cash of Gardner South-Wilmington High School and her court awarded the Downey and Rankin families the first-place trophy for best use of theme in the Kiddie Parade at Corn Festival Saturday afternoon.
The Downeys and Rankins, both of Morris, created a Cruise Night-themed float. Ella Walker, Tyler Downey and Hope Downey were proud car owners on the float as grandpa Jim Downey drove the tractor pulling the show.
Corn Fest was given a volunteer theme this year — " Volunteers – the Heart of our Community" — and it was decided the Cruise Night float matched that theme best.
"This is something that's fun for all ages," said Sondra Rankin, Ella's mom, about choosing to feature the car show on the float. "It's a big part of Morris and it's grown so much over the years."
Tyler and Hope's mom, Tanya, said each child was going to get their own aspect of volunteerism in Morris to represent in the parade, but the families decided to work together on one idea.
"The kids enjoy it," Tyler and Hope's dad, Josh, said about participating in the parade. He explained this was their third Kiddie Parade participation. Last year, the float was created to look like a backyard, complete with a swing set and a tractor to ride.
No ideas are floating around for next year yet, Josh said.
Marching in front of and behind the Downeys and Rankins were Transformers, a fisherman and a mermaid, firemen, and several other characters. But this year was a shorter parade than in the past.
"This year there are only eight (entries)," said Deanna Cook, co-chairman for the Corn Fest Kiddie Parade. "Years and years ago, there seemed to be more."
Cook also noted there were supposed to be 10 entries, but two did not show on parade day.
Cook and her sister, Della Rankin, have been running the parade for an estimated five years. Before they took over, their mom, Sara Vilt, was chairman. Cook said Vilt ran it for over 40 years before she moved to Texas.
The Corn Fest royalty was given the opportunity to judge the entries this year on three categories: king and queen, most original, and best use of theme. After the walk from Chapin Park to Grundy Bank, the girls handed out the medals and trophies.
The Downey and Rankin families were to be marching again in the parade Sunday afternoon because of their first-place award.

It's not DRM-laden patent trolling Apple.
Why was this modded down? Is it wrong? Apple has gone from evil yet innovative to just evil. Their recent lawsuits all but scream "We are out of ideas! Release the lawyers!"
It was modded down because the iphone owners on slashdot got to it before the android owners did.
Apple was never "evil yet innovative". The most "innovative" thing they ever did was introduce graphical computing to the masses...by buying the GUI PARC invented and basically using it as is. They've been especially uninnovative since the return of Jobs though, as their main business strategy has been entering rapidly growing markets and doing the same as everyone else, but more expensive and with less features. But they put it in shiny white plastic and market the hell out of it and everyone buys one because they want to be cool and Think Different, just like everyone else. Apple isn't a tech company, they're a fashion accessory company whose products happen to also function as gadgets.
It's actually even worse than that. PARC's GUI was a lot more advanced than the crap Apple actually shipped as MacOS; Apple merely imitated its looks but cut corners on the implementation. That's why MacOS was on a death spiral within ten years: it didn't have a solid architecture or foundation.
OS X actually copied a bit more of PARC's technology, but even Objective-C and Cocoa are lousy compared to PARC's original technologies.
They've been especially uninnovative since the return of Jobs though, as their main business strategy has been entering rapidly growing markets and doing the same as everyone else, but more expensive and with less features..
Typical geek. "How can this iPod/iPhone be better ? It has less features !" Would the average person have been able to get work done on the PARC machine ? Probably not, but they could on the mac. Some people actually care that it's nicely designed, that the feature that are included work in thoroughly logical and planned out manner, that it's easier to use and yes it even looks nice. THAT is Apple's strength.
that it's easier to use
This especially. Say what you like, but the iPod's UI was way better than that of any other music player at the time. Same with the iPhone that did way with navigating through crappy menus just to do something basic.
There's tons of stuff wrong with Apple, and I'm glad I switched from iPhone to Android, but Apple does know better than anyone else how to make accessible and usable interfaces.
Think of the 1984 ad... a la role reversal (someone should do a parody replacing "big brother" with Jobs and the jogger with... Tux?)
So a handful of patent lawsuits and a weirdly restrictive app store make a company "crazy evil?"
Pardon me if I can't quite hear Steve Jobs cackling in the background, but technology companies have been suing each other for patent violations as long as they have existed -- even our darlings at Novell are no strangers to being on the plaintiff's stand at patent hearings.
When they got successful with the iPod, they brought legal (and eventually drm-free) downloads to the masses -- great for artists and consume
To those about to complain that screen resolution differences makes developing for android harder, then try using a UI measurement that does not rely on pixels, like em
Then all you'll suffer from is screen size differences.
You always can use layout managers...
Only Windows UI Programmers complain about screen sizes...
With our last website design for our shopping cart, we elected to go with a fluid layout and use em. Great right? Nope. We heard so many complaints from customers it was rather eye-opening. The fact that things were "a little different" from screen to screen (say a desktop vs laptop) annoyed and confused people even if a box was just had more space in between. Frankly we couldn't see it. If the screen was wider, there was a bit more separation in places. So we ended up going back and defining everything being centered and by pixels so it looked the exact same no matter if the user had a 12.1" screen or 30" LCD TV. If they had a bigger screen/higher resolution, they just got to see more of the background gradient. The complaints stopped and we didn't alter the design. So go figure....
We also have clients who are insanely anal about their branding and virtually demand things to be "pixel" perfect. With the iPhone/iPod Touch this hasn't been a problem. Android it has. Not to mention the other hardware inconsistencies.
But in our shop, Android is really starting to cost us a lot of money in QA testing. And we guarantee that our software works on all known models as of a certain date. It's in the contract and the clients do pay us well for it. Our testing hardware for the iPhone/iPod Touch has been $1600 over the past two years. (iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs, iPod Touch). We've spent over $2500 acquiring Android hardware just in the last six months of last year and have already spent another $1400 this year.
As a result, the cost of us building an Android app is now double that of an iPhone app. And at the rate the new Android phones are coming out, that is likely to increase if customers want a full compatibility guarantee.
Now we're about to launch our first application built using the PhoneGap framework. It's basically a web app wrapped using PhoneGap's "container" (for lack of better description) and should allow us to support iPhone, Blackberry, and Android by only having to support 1 framework and using web programming. But we'll see how well that works.
We heard so many complaints from customers it was rather eye-opening.
Then your layout sucked. Nothing is more annoying than a static 1280x1024 layout on an iPhone, that requires me to zoom in and out constantly. For a good flow layout, take a look at Wikipedia or Amazon's mobile sites. Just because you couldn't do it right doesn't mean all flow layouts are wrong.
As a result, the cost of us building an Android app is now double that of an iPhone app.
You are supporting more hardware devices, so you have to test on more hardware devices, which costs more. Would you rather that each of those pieces of hardware have a different operating system? You should be thanking Google for Android, because the only reason you are even capable of supporting all these devices is because it is so much cheaper because of Android. Before Android, you had to write for even more operating systems.
Android it has. Not to mention the other hardware inconsistencies.
"Inconsistencies?" Has it occurred to you that there is actually a demand for these varieties of devices? The iPhone resolution and keyboard simply don't work for me (I tried). They don't work for many other people either. We want high resolution devices with a keyboard. I'm sorry that inconveniences you as a developer, but you'll just have deal with it (unless Apple succeeds into turning us into the United Socialist Apple Republic, wher
Only Windows UI Programmers complain about screen sizes...
We don't - we've had WPF, with flexible layouts by default [microsoft.com], since 2006.
And those who are
To those about to complain that screen resolution differences makes developing for android harder, then try using a UI measurement that does not rely on pixels, like em
Incidentally bitmaps that use em have not been invented yet. Vectors are not good for everything, and may take more power to render on the fly.
Also, em solves exactly nothing about how much content can you fit on a display before it becomes unreadable, a problem you may get if you treat DPI as a free variable. Oh and it also doesn't factor in display ratio, unless you think squashing things is the way to go.
Then use a mix of em and CSS3 px (which are _NOT_ screen pixels), possibly with display ratio @rules. Convert to pixels at install-time if doing so on run-time is to slow. Problem solved. Or just use a Java layout manager...
Unfortunately right now it appears that for users it's the other way around.
After reading the article, I was able to port my entire Java repository to Android in just a few minutes. Of course, that consists of three versions of "Hello, world!"
You joke, but in Java that represents a substantial amount of work.
iphone and android aren't really inclusive.
open source is meant to be about choice and freedom.
the nokia n900 + maemo allows multiple languages and frameworks (x11 gtk qt sdl gles and whatever else you can throw at it) to peacefully coexist together
don't take my word for it though, i'm biased
well... lets develop for an OS that is available on
You mean Windows? you can't possibly mean Nokia - which, although Maemoblin is very very new, should do well given Nokia's business-friendly sales and general market dominance.
No... Maemo... nokia is a handset maker, not an OS.
The n900 still uses binary drivers, which means when the n901 ships good luck with that.
I am a proud owner of a N900 for a week now. It is the first time a phone truly amazes me, and that is of course all thanks to the OS. I am a mobile developer, so I have so far developed for and owned BREW, Symbian and iPhone OS devices. I liked developing for the iphone, hated the other two, but from a user standpoint I did not enjoy any device, since even browsing was painful (no, I don't consider the iphone's ultra low res usable), and they wouldn't let me do much more than that.
Enter the N900. Android
"Not only that, but all of the code from other Java programs will run on your Android phone — although it won't look pretty or run as fast as it does on multicore servers.'""
No because if it has any type of UI odds are that uses swing or awt. Not only that but I doubt that the Android JVM has all the standard libraries that are available on Sun Java.
Yes they will know the syntax of the language but the libraries will be totally different.
Not to mention that is probably very little code running on servers that you will want to run on a phone.
And yes I write in java and I have an Android phone and I have looked at the Android SDK.
Yes, a fair point. I shouldn't have used "all", although I think you could probably get Swing and even AWT working with a shoehorn.
But it's got a JVM and JVMs take byte code...
And while I wouldn't want Derby or some other serverside process gumming up my phone, I do like the ease of using the same packing and unpacking routines on both platforms. They're just more likely to work a bit better together.
But it's got a JVM and JVMs take byte code...
Actually, Android uses Dalvik VM which uses
This is true, although Google wrote an eclipse builder that can take a class file and convert it to dex format.
So you can use class files directly, Eclipse and the Android SDK will take care of converting them for you (transparently).
Actually AWT is smaller than Swing. But porting them to Dalvik would be no small task and then you have the question of WHY?
They are not good frameworks to write a mobile app that uses a small screen and touch!
Yes if you know java you have an advantage but not the huge one you have stated.
I am working on porting an app I wrote in java to Android.
The backed processing will port but UI which is a good bit of it will not.
And to top that, its not real Java but the embedded/mobile version so your server-side entierprise java bean based app will just not work. Sure, your java devs will be familiar with the language, but frankly, they're all converting themselves to C# nowadays.
I always thought Android's Dalvik VM was a mistake - they alienated the native C/C++ developers who might have jumped from Symbian to it, and alienated new programmers who think that Java is a lagacy language from the 80s. They'd have been better advised
Yes they will know the syntax of the language but the libraries will be totally different.
Actually, they're mostly the same. They took the standard libraries from Apache Harmony. It's missing a few packages that aren't appropriate (like Swing), but most of what a Java programmer expects to be there, is there.
Here is the index to the API docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html [android.com]. As you can see, a large fraction of the java.* and javax.* packages are there.
As you noted, the foundation libraries are pretty much all there - it would be an adjustment going from other GUI frameworks, although you're going to have to re-think what you do anyway for a mobile device with a mostly touch interface!
Android not only competitive but in fact a better choice than the iPhone for many developers, largely due to its Java foundation.
Now I don't want an Android phone. I thought it would be good or better for me as a USER, not as a developer. Silly me.
From TFA
code from other Java programs will run on your Android phone -- although it won't look pretty or run as fast as it does on multicore servers
I'm not a developer but once of the criticisms I see constantly leveled against Java is how slow it is. Are there any mobile devices out there that can really handle even moderately complex / processor intensive Java code?
It's no longer 2000. Outside of heavy mathematical computation (the kind where your entire dataset fits in your L1 cache and the entire thing streams through arithmetic, bitwise ops, and pointer magic), Java is acknowledged to be as fast or faster than C++, for competently-coded values of Java and C++.
Are there any mobile devices out there that can really handle even moderately complex / processor intensive Java code?
Yes. All of them.
Whether you're allowed to is a different matter entirely.
Then according to his logic, Windows Mobile is better than Android and iPhone combined, because not only can it run Java apps, but you can author software for it in practically any mainstream programming language.
What about Blackberry? It is a pure Java based platform, even more so than Android.
I just think it's silly to say "This device is LISP based, so it is better than device X because some corporation might have LISP developers sitting around that can write apps for it in a language they're used to!"
The Java apps you can run on any mobile device are - by necessity - extremely limited. Java on the Android is much more like programming the normal JDK. There are many runtimes loosely based on the Java platform, but you would not want to use them for anything like an Android device. (I don't know the Backberry runtime so I won' t comment on that.)
Having a large base of programmers that know the language and a large part of the API is certainly an advantage. I don't think Objective C is very high in the lis
My game engine, which has been used in a Top-100 iPhone game, is 99% C++, and only has the minimum amount of Objective-C code required to handle various system events (around 200 lines of code). Of course applications intimately integrating with the iPhone's GUI API would require much more Objective-C. So Objective C is not the only officially supported language for the iPhone for generating native binaries.
You could do something similar with a Java+C++ application on Android. The Java parts interface with the application apis via dalvik, while the native parts do the heavy lifting.
The Dalvik virtual machine that Android uses is just now starting to get JIT compilation features. It will be a lot more competitive with statically compiled code once JIT is in regular use and starts to mature.
Compare HotSpot to natively compiled code. Today it's very competitive in most cases and you can develop much faster in Jav
But if you read the article, you would see that he goes in depth about actually developing for both platforms. Windows Mobile was actually pretty good on that front, but wouldn't be better than Android because:
You can buy and play FIFA10 or even Grand Theft Auto on the iPhone. The games are a pretty good indicator IMHO. When complex and expensive productions from big studios start coming out for a platform, you know that the platform is popular.
And if you think Java makes any kind of difference, think again. The guys that are developing these applications do not seem to care. It's not about happy programmers, it's about happy users. And right now the iPhone still has the edge.
Another great thing about Android is developers can get a free phone. [zdnet.com]
Who cares about a free phone. With a top iPhone app I could retire, BEFORE I get out of school!
I don't like Eclipse, but I don't have to since there is an emacs mode [riddell.us] for Android development.
That Java is something that makes Android superior to iPhone is a dubious claim.
Objective-C has advantages, such as that it is compiled. While Android has lots of libraries implemented in C and C++ that speed execution of Android applications, and developers can choose to implement intensive computations in C using the NDK, Objective-C requires no JNIs or other complications of splitting an implementation between Java and C/C++.
X-Code is a purpose-built, clean-sheet IDE that may lack a few power features found in Eclipse, and Eclipse has numerous plug-ins, but Eclipse also has a pretty diabolical UI, especially compared to software from Apple.
Java, Eclipse, and the other Android SDK tools are more than good enough, but they are not a big advantage, or, depending on your tastes, any advantage. There is a rough equivalence here that will probably extend to Android doing for client Java what iPhone did for Objective-C - making it popular. That is, Android apps will probably be the most common form of interactive client Java apps, if they have not already eclipsed AWT, Swing, SWT, and other Java UI libraries. This is going to have a big influence on Java, considering the fact that iPhone programming books crowd the top of the list or programming books at Amazon.
Android's advantage is in openness. Android developers are not just app developers. They can be system customizers and extenders. They can be technology vendors to a large number of OEMs using Android. They can have all kinds of products, customer, and business models, throughout the mobile economy, not just retail customers of the app store.
I personally do not think the UI in Eclipse is worse than the one from XCode but it adds refactoring which objective C ides lack.
Which year are you living in, Xcode doesn't seem to have a problem doing it for me.
Of course, I've had refactoring in notepad for years. Search and replace is hard.
Wow, you must be a really good programmer if you don't know the difference between search and replace and refactoring...
I think refactoring was added to Xcode since 3.1. It's under the Edit menu or if you're hotkey around it's Shift-Command-J.
The pure Java foundation of Android
Android is not java. Yes it has java aspects but it is not java! It's bits of java with a customized Android API.It doesn't even run a normal JVM, it runs the Dalvik VM.
Not only that, but all of the code from other Java programs will run on your Android phone
Seriously, no. Just... no. Try compiling a program that uses Swing, AWT or javax stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Android and hate iPhones. I have a G1 (lacking on RAM as much as it is). I've programmed for android although for fun, not the marketplace. I've even made my own ROM, again for fun. But claiming Android is Java and that everything that Java can do Android can also do natively is just naive
Having built some rather processor heavy apps for the iphone the only thing that counts to me is to be able to utilize every single cpu cycle. Writing apps for these devices is easy, writing apps that can perform is another matter entirely.
"...although it won't look pretty or run as fast as it does on multicore servers."
The Nexus One is multicore.
I don't know enough about Android to really comment on other aspects of usability, but this article mainly compares development between both platforms. To be frank, though, I don't think the Android Alliance had to do a lot to be better than a system that only allows developers to code on OS X with a language that's almost entirely bound to that platform and under the control of an authoritarian and seemingly draconian submission control system.
However, under the Android platform gains critical mass (which
But if I turned it back to portrait, it mysteriously worked because the bounding rectangle for the screen was now taller, not wider. That took more than a few minutes to find.

The investigation into the Columbia disaster is in the early stages, but NASA officials say they have good leads as to what caused the orbiter to break apart Saturday morning.
Associate NASA Administrator Bill Readdy says engineers are closely examining the possible effect of a broken off piece of insulation that hit the left wing of the shuttle during it's launch Jan. 16.
Readdy says he's not conclusive that the damage cause the accident but he says, "It's certainly the leading candidate right now.
Readdy says, "The best and brightest" engineers studied the matter during the mission and concluded that even if the tiles were damaged, there would be "no burn through, and no safety-of-flight issues" during re-entry, when temperatures reach 3,000 degrees.

A little late on this one: On Tuesday, the State Bank of Vietnam cut its benchmark interest rates1 percentage point.
HSBC calls the cut a "symbolic measure to signal that the SBV is doing what it can to raise domestic demand." Its strategist explains:
With the annual growth rate slowing to a 13-year low, the SBV is signaling that it is doing what it can to shore up domestic demand. While slowing inflation gave the SBV some space to reduce rates, we believe the scope for further rate cuts is limited…
Nor does he expect the rate cut to do much to boost the economy:
Meanwhile, the reduction of interest rates is unlikely to have a significant impact for two main reasons: a) demand for loans is low due to weak risk appetite from consumers; and b) banks are seeking higher quality borrowers…
Additionally, the economy is stabilizing and likely to enjoy marginally better growth in 2013 thanks to improved external demand and a pick-up in domestic activity. But it is nothing to cheer about yet, as growth is expected to come in below trend, hovering near 5% over the next two years…
The real problem is bad debt, something the central bank has little control over:
The reforms required next are to resolve bad debt in the system as well as addressing the issue of inefficient state-owned enterprises and public investment. Starting tomorrow, the government ministers and the central bank will discuss detailed plans to resolve financial institutions' bad debt problems through the establishment of a debt asset management company.
Still, Vietnam's stock market appears optimistic. The Vietnam Ho Chi Minh Stock Index has gained 8.5% since the end of November, after falling 23% from its May high.

The city's roadway maintenance program, including upcoming repair projects, will be studied at Tuesday's Woodland City Council meeting.
The city's roadway network is its largest infrastructure investment consisting of more than 400-lane miles of roads with an estimated replacement value of more than $400 million, according to the transportation infrastructure division in a report.
"Recent budgets have allocated approximately $1.5 million toward the repair and maintenance of the roadway system," said Principal Civil Engineer Katie Wurzel in the report. "Given the size of this asset and limitations in funding, there are significant fiscal implications to funding and management of the city's streets and roadway network."
Tuesday's study session will review the roadway network, funding and maintenance strategies as well as the accomplishments of the program since the establishment of Measure E sales tax funding in 2006 and the resulting benefit to roadway conditions.
The 2012-13 Measure E spending report, which ended June 30, 2013, shows that just more than $7 million has been spent on roads with the local tax, with close to $17 million allocated through the life span of the measure, which sunsets in 2018.
During the 2012-13 fiscal year reports show $439,371 was spent on roads from Measure E monies.
Topics such as the pavement program and conditions, funding sources and priorities, achievements to date and future planning and funding will be discussed.
"The presentation is intended to provide the City Council with information regarding the condition, funding and management of city's roadway infrastructure to help inform future long-range planning related to this critical infrastructure asset," Wurzel added.
Copies of the presentation will be available at the meeting.

Growing up, I was taught about the kind of love God the Father has for his children; it was called "agape love." I understood it as the kind of love that allows a parent to forgive their children for wrongdoing, and the sort of love that allows God to forgive humankind for sin. It was something to take comfort in. The message that we had "fallen short" was pounded into my head, and God's love had to be extremely powerful to overlook how unclean and unworthy I was. Everyone cried and wailed around me, thanking God for forgiving them, feeling lucky and grateful their depravity was being overlooked by a loving Father.
Also, as a child, I dealt with a step-father who was abusive in many ways... although also constantly begging for forgiveness. This man had been abused himself, and dealt with many demons of his own. He constantly ebbed and flowed between a hair-trigger temper and a desperate contrition. He wasn't insincere when he pleaded, on literal bended knee with a tear-soaked face, for us to forgive him. And we did. Over and over, we forgave him. My mother forgave him. My brothers forgave him. I forgave him. 26 years into his marriage with my mother, he's finally matured into a fairly mellow human being.
When I was 23, I began building a relationship with my real father. He left before I was born, and left a trail of abandoned children behind him. He was a heart-breaker most of his life. When I decided I needed to know this man, he was reeling from being divorced by the one woman who had a grip on his heart. Because I hadn't known him my entire life, it was easier to forgive him than if he'd left while I was a child. He answered a lot of questions about myself just by being himself. Now, 30 years later, he has a lot of regrets. He's moving forward by building relationships with his children, but not all of them have found it within themselves to let it go. I have.
I've more than forgiven him, actually. I love him deeply, and there's not really anything he can do to shake my love... and I have been shaken. I see all that he's done to my mother, to other women, to my siblings... I still love him. I'll always love him. Maybe my step-father is unworthy; maybe my real father is unworthy... but I love them. I have agape love for my fathers.
The lesson I learned recently, while talking to my mother, is that it's actually up to children to forgive their parents. A parent is far more capable of sinning against their children than the other way around. We depend on them to be our safe place... to be our teachers, our kindest critics, our heroes, our mentors, our home. They're all just human, and they will inevitably fail us in some way or another. They will literally fall on their knees and beg us for forgiveness. Depending on the grievance, we might find it in our hearts to do so. Not everyone can forgive their parents; not everyone should. But a parent who's wronged their child should be grateful when their children are able to forgive them, and love them, despite their "sin".
This is one of the main things wrong with the idea of Christianity; with the idea that humans should ask their Heavenly Father for forgiveness. This god, who created the universe with so many flaws, and so many traps, and so many temptations; who created us with so many flaws, and so many weaknesses, and so little help... should be pleading for our forgiveness. He is the one, should he exist, who is unworthy of it. Christianity, or any religion, would make so much more sense if the Creator was the one assuming responsibility and repenting of his sin against all of creation.
I know what it's like to forgive a parent (or three). I know what it's like to love them in spite of all the hurt they caused, their character flaws, their imperfection... and it's most profound when that kind of agape loves flows from the child back to the parent. It's a given a parent loves and will forgive their children; they can't help it. It isn't a given for a child to forgive a parent.
Dear Christians: your message is wrong. God should be begging his creation for forgiveness for all the ways in which he's failed us. If only he existed.

Cara, can I borrow this post? You make some great points here that I'd like to share in another group.
Just the last 4 paragraphs.
Feel free. If you're posting offsite, just link back to Think Atheist for us :)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radhasoamistudies/ and here's a link back to the yahoo group though I doubt many here would be interested in the history, cosmology, lineage of the various arguing factions of the RadhaSoami path.
@Wesley - I have to register to get through to this link. FT.
What's the difference between RadhaSoami and Sikhism?
You cannot control how another person thinks, acts or treats you, but what you can learn to control is how you let that person affect you. Many times that's all we have.
My wife had to learn to do this with her step-mother. It was extremely difficult, but when she finally figured it out, not only did she not let her step mom drive her nuts.... their relationship itself became much better. I think by learning how to do this she taught her step mom at the same time without any conscious effort.
"I think by learning how to do this she taught her step mom at the same time without any conscious effort."
Damn right, Wesley!
All of this kind of behaviour is a result of someone's ego being bent out of shape: doing its functions inappropriately. One of its main functions is to keep us feeling OK from moment to moment. This is why the religions all talk about transcending the ego. Transcending "feeling OK from moment to moment" in favour of the long-term results. Some people feel a lack of control in their lives - say, because of an over-controlling father - and therefore seek to control other people. Some people are desperately lonely and afraid, and therefore seek to get under someone else's skin as a way of making a connection. All of these behaviours are inappropriate and destructive. Neurotic people need to find appropriate ways to feel OK. - courage, stoicism, self-knowledge, selfless love, transmuting their shit into gold ... etc.
"without any conscious effort" - flatteringly, I'm known around here as a very powerful person. It seems all I have to do is lift a finger and everyone goes scurrying. I don't care if people think I'm powerful or not. I just want everyone to be as happy as me.

Betty Nugent Cook, a former resident of East Hampton, where she was a member of the Ramblers, the Ladies Village Improvement Society, and the South Fork Country Club, died on Sept. 14 at Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport. She was 95.
Ms. Cook had lived at Peconic Landing in Greenport since 2002, but enjoyed reunions with her friends from years past. She was active in the community in her younger years and belonged to the American Association of University Women as well as the East Hampton Presbyterian Church.
She was married in 1941 to Floyd K. Diefendorf Jr., and the couple lived in Westerly, R.I., while Mr. Diefendorf served as a naval aviator. They had two sons. After the war, the family lived in Staunton, N.J., and at Red Cedar Point in Hampton Bays.
In 1954, after a divorce, she moved with her sons to Southampton, where she met and married Edward F. Cook of East Hampton. They moved to East Hampton, where they raised her two children and Mr. Cook's two daughters. Mr. Cook died in 1984.
Ms. Cook is survived by her sons, Floyd K. (Corky) Diefendorf III of Shelter Island, and Peter Diefendorf of Sunset Beach, N.C., and by her stepdaughters, Cynthia Bognolo of Lyme, N.H., and Sally Perra of Florence, Italy. She leaves nine grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
Born on Oct. 24, 1916, in Southampton, Ms. Cook was the daughter of Dr. John Nugent and Marie Nugent. She attended Southampton High School and Wells College in Aurora, N.Y., graduating with honors in 1938.
A private memorial service was held by the family, with funeral arrangements made by the Shelter Island Funeral Home. Memorial donations have been suggested to the American Heart Association, P.O. Box 417005, Boston 02241, or to Eastern Long Island Hospital, Development Office, 201 Manor Place, Greenport 11944.

Description for Cute Couple iLock
Cute Couple iLock
Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". Love may describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.
In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love mya partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship, or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love, or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.
The word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Often, other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that English relies mainly on "love" to encapsulate; one example is the plurality of Greek words for "love." Cultural differences in conceptualizing love thus make it doubly difficult to establish any universal definition.

Ten years ago, to the day. March 24, 2001, the first official released version of Mac OS X went on sale, for USD 129. It was a massive step up and a massive step down from MacOS 9 at the same time - technically way more advanced, but clearly still in its infancy and pretty much unusable. Kernel panics, crashes, incredibly slow, and lacking many key features. It was so bad, in fact, that Mac OS X 10.1 was released as a free upgrade. Of course, we geeks know that Mac OS X is technically a lot older, but alas, let's just celebrate these 10 years. Maybe Lion will finally bring a usable non-crashing Finder!

FREEPORT (WIFR) -- Freeport's sixth ward Alderman Scott Helms will be resigning his council seat. His last City Council meeting as an alderman will be March 4, 2013.
Alderman Helms and his family are moving to a new home and will no longer reside in Freeport's Sixth Ward. As a result, Helms will be unable to serve the remainder of his term, which expires in 2015.
In reference to his multiple terms, Helms noted, "It has been my honor and privilege to serve the residents of Freeport's Sixth Ward for the past seven years. Representing my ward in city matters has been incredibly rewarding and I believe that I have made a positive impact, particularly regarding Freeport's fiscal health."
"My work with Neighborhood Watch has also been a highlight of my council career and I would like to express my gratitude to the people of the sixth ward for their civic involvement, and their support as I proudly represented them," Helms added.

Happy Arbor Day fellow hangers. Arbor Day is a special day to celebrate the TREE. The first Arbor Day was in 1872 in Nebraska by Mr Morton.
We celebrate Arbor Day all over the world and today is Arbor Day for those of us in Nova Scotia. Arbor Day doesn't have a set date due to different climates and local conditions. Southern States already had theirs and Northern areas would be later in spring and Arbor Day in the Southern hemisphere would be much later in the year.
I just wanted to remind us TREE users to HUG A TREE today.
Most other special days ( Christmas, Veterans/Remembrance day, Independence day) celebrate something that happened in the past. Arbor Day celebrates the future. We are having our celebration of the TREE at a school with the students helping us look to the future.
Our Arbor Day trees just happen to be planted about 15' apart in an area between the school and play ground. They may be a little too small to hang my hammock today but the students will have their celebration picnic under their new trees.

Paris' lobotomy causes her to leave half of her accessory at home (again)
It looks as if Paris has unveiled the ass-wipe glove in black. I bet Lindsay Lohan is running around with the bottom half of this monstrosity (a fingerless glove) thinking she's cool too. Maybe I don't give Karl Lagerfeld enough credit—he's probably sitting back laughing his ass off at how stupid they all look. Wait, he wears stupid gloves too. Well jokes on them because this is so stupid Michael Jackson didn't even do it. It's like the caption for this would be: "Ooops, I just realized I forgot the other half of my glove. Nicki, what the fuck did you do with the other half of my glove?""Ok. That's definitely half of a glove. Now what?"(to self: "Self, maybe if like, I just like stand here and try to like be sexy and wrap half of my hand around the door they won't notice that like half of my glove is missing and the world will love me (giggles)." Then in a moment of sheer embarrassment she tries to strike a sexy pose but ends up looking like an uncoordinated fool as usual.Please tell me she doesn't have these in red. Or yellow. Or any other color. I sadly expect this to be at the local cheap-ass whore store in the mall soon. Aside from wiping your ass, the only other thing the glove MIGHT be good for is protecting others from Paris' nastiness. What does she do? She touches her friend (who is dressed in a nightgown) with the non-protected fingers...possibly proving my theory that she does wear the half glove to wipe her ass. She still looks like an ass-wipe.
I somehow failed to get my hands on the whole picture "Ooops, I just realized I forgot the other half of my glove. Nicki, what the fuck did you do with the other half of my glove?" picture so I'm going to amend this post. Will you please take a look at this:
Whoa. Apparently Paris' friend criteria includes: must be able to wear nightgown to dance club, must have wonky eyes and must have a less symmetrical face than Paris. Paris would prefer if friend didn't speak English...or any other language. Paris would prefer if friend didn't speak.
Oh, and I guess those handless gloves do come in a pair.
