Kung Fu Panda 3 is just as adorable as its predecessors.
Po is back with his unceasing shenanigans. The humour he manages to squeeze out with a droll face and his non-stop clumsy acts is just A1. Ice that up with the perfect comic delivery of Jack Black, and we get a Panda that just takes it up to another level of awesomeness. He still gets awestruck by trivial things. Still does all the things that he used to, to throw you into fits of laughter. Kung Fu Panda 3 is yet another installment that doesn't stop at nothing to make you giggle whilst you chomp on your popcorn.
The movie is an info-taining lesson that teaches us a lot of crucial stuff like teamwork, improvisation, support, brotherhood, unity and forgiveness. CGI is just as great as the previous installments. If you are looking for fun, boy this movie is nothing but the Kung "Fun" Panda 3!
Sticking to its origin when it comes to the plot, where we always get served a badass villain who ends up getting ridiculed by the cloddish mien of our protagonist Kung Fu Panda 3 is no different. We are offered a fixed mainstream story-line when it comes to fighting bits. Exploring a little softer side, we find a pleasant addition to the tale in the form of Li, the biological father of Po. He is equally upbeat and cool like Po.
Plot delves into darker waters as we find Li tricking Po into visiting his village convincing him to teach him Chi. Bubbly as Po is he gets sold to the faux story and walks, nay, clambers his way towards the awesome village of even cuter Pandas who overwhelm him with their unique acts. Kai, the ruthless villain from the spirit realm rummages through their village to have a final face-off against our hero. A complete entertaining package!
If you look at the downsides, things go in a lot of fantastical zone like the introduction of Chi, learning which should be a Herculean task for the Panda town. But they ace it in a jiffy. So, wasn't tangible exactly, but then again isn't the movie franchise entirely fictional already?
So, overlooking everything incredible in the Panda series, I come to the bottom-line: Kung Fu Panda 3 is a great entertainer!

John Stossel on Libertarianism
Don't miss "Stossel" tonight on the Fox Business Network at 8:00 p.m. ET. He'll be discussing "What's a Libertarian?" with P. J. O'Rourke, Andrew Napolitano, and a panel including Cato senior fellow Jeff Miron and me. Here's a column Stossel wrote after taping the show about his own evolution from "Kennedy‐style liberal" to libertarian.
When I did talk shows after the publication of Libertarianism: A Primer, I was always asked, "What is libertarianism?" I said then, "Libertarianism is the idea that adult individuals have the right and the responsibility to make the important decisions about their lives. And of course today government claims the power to make many of those decisions for us, from where to send our kids to school to what we can smoke to how we must save for retirement."
Here's another way to put it, which I believe I first saw in a high‐school libertarian newsletter from Minnesota: Smokey the Bear's rules for fire safety also apply to government: Keep it small, keep it in a confined area, and keep an eye on it.
For more on libertarianism, check out Libertarianism: A Primer and The Libertarian Reader. For deeper thoughts, take a look at Realizing Freedom: Libertarian Theory, History, and Practice. Find an 80‐minute interview on libertarianism here and a short talk here. And for a week‐long seminar on libertarianism and our current crisis, come to Cato University this July at the beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn outside San Diego.

Gap Year Programmes - overseas travel and volunteering rolled into one!
The last twenty years have seen a huge explosion in the number of school and college leavers taking gap year programmes before joining university. The incorporation of some formal period of volunteering into these gap years is becoming an expectation, not just of the students themselves, but of university admission departments and employers alike.
This phenomenon has completely changed the face of overseas volunteering as far as Projects Abroad is concerned. As the world's leading international volunteering organisation, we feel we are well placed to ensure that the "gap year" has a positive and long-lasting effect on the developing world. Long may it continue!
Request our new free Gap Year Abroad brochure download here
Gap Year Projects Abroad – valuing Gap Year volunteers
Since 1992 we have witnessed the incredible impact that volunteers on gap year programmes have had on our various placements around the world; whether that be as part of a Teaching project in Ghana, a Care project in Nepal, a Conservation project in Peru, or one of our many other projects around the world.
Students may not be considered old or experienced enough to be given much responsibility in working environments here in the UK, but we consider them to have the right mixture of energy, enthusiasm and empathy needed to volunteer. This is why we continue to put our faith in students on gap year programmes - by offering them a range of placements that you simply won't find with any other volunteering organisation.
Short-term summer placements
If you are a student looking to volunteer abroad, then you can choose from a huge range of projects in 30 destinations around the globe. You can volunteer on our projects for as little as two weeks and choose your own start dates - perfect for fitting into a busy gap year!
If you are currently in college or school, considering taking a gap year, but not yet sure whether it is the right thing for you, then you may be interested in our High School Special projects. These are effectively "tasters"; you get to spend two weeks with a group of other volunteers aged 15-18, finding out exactly what volunteering is all about. These trips are fully supervised and our local staff will even take you out on evening and weekend excursions.
To get started, take a look a look at the volunteer projects that we offer and the volunteer destinations in which we operate.

After nearly three weeks of practice, the Braden River and Lakewood Ranch High football teams will finally hit the gridiron this week in their annual spring games.
And I can't wait to see how well the Pirates and Mustangs stack up.
The spring game is unique because generally they don't count for anything more than bragging rights. Instead, the game is used as a measuring stick to evaluate whether or not the team has met the expectations of its coaches.
But even though the score may disappear once the lights go out on the scoreboard, the result of the game likely will stay with the players and coaches until August when the fall season officially kicks off.
"Mainly, we're just trying to see if they're following what we've asked them to do the last 18 or 19 days," Lakewood coach Shawn Trent said. "The good thing is its spring ball, so we still have another two months until it counts."
"For us it's a total evaluation tool," Braden River coach Ed Volz said. "We're going to look at where we are and look at what areas we need to improve upon to get better."
Following last season, the Pirates and Mustangs were on two different ends of the spectrum. The Pirates were coming off their best season in school history, finishing with an 8-4 record and advancing to the Class 3A-Region 3 semifinals for the first time. While their rivals were enjoying their historic playoff run, the Mustangs, who finished 1-9, were trying to find their identity with hopes of returning to championship form.
Now with their spring games looming, both teams' slates are wiped clean, and a new set of expectations have emerged. But the road to the spring game hasn't been easy for either team.
A lot has changed since we saw the Pirates and Mustangs walk off the field for the final time last fall. Some of those changes have been for the better, while others still have us asking ourselves — why?
Having faced more adversity in the past two months than most teams face in a decade, the Pirates have every reason to be unfocused this spring — but that's not what either of the two coaches they lost in the months leading up to the start of spring practice would have wanted.
So instead of letting their hardships get the best of them, the Pirates — led by starters Stephen Fischer, Trevor Barnes and Ty Williams — rallied together and set sail under Volz.
Over the past three weeks, Braden River has spent much of its time working on fundamentals, skill and game drills and overall defensive schemes. The Pirates will get a chance to see just how far they've come when they travel to Riverview today to take on the Class 6A-District 6 champion Rams.
The key to the game for the Pirates will be in how well the offensive line is able to protect its quarterback and open up running lanes for running backs Tevin Bryant and Jajuan Bell. Having lost three of its starters to graduation, the Pirates are still trying to break in their offensive line, and the spring game will provide the line with some much-needed game-time exposure.
Across town, the Mustangs have been busy preparing for their spring game against Island Coast this Friday. Similar to the Pirates, the Mustangs have been working hard the past three weeks to develop some of their younger talent, particularly on the offensive line.
Lakewood lost several players to graduation, many of which played the same position, forcing the Mustangs to shuffle some players around. Additionally, Trent has added five new coaches to his staff, which has continually helped the players develop.
"This is honestly the first time I've felt comfortable (sending) the guys out there and knowing that they're getting coached," Trent said. "We've also moved some coaches around which has helped us, and the kids are responding well."
Offense will be the key for the Pirates and the Mustangs this week as both teams try to put the past behind them and build for the fall. Check out Your Observer.com for results and photos from both spring games.

I've been watching and playing basketball for a long time. Linsanity ranks as one of the most enjoyable stretches as a fan of the game, ever.
I was hyped up for this season; Lin had a chance to prove himself in a new town, for a new team. And now, those hopes are all but shattered.
Lin is playing in a "system" which works against him and therefore works to the disadvantage of the rockets. Lin is most effective with a high usage rate, initiating the offense. Instead, he's been assigned a passive role, doing nothing but shooting an occasional spot up jumper.
Meanwhile, harden is struggling with his predictable iso-ball/1 on 1 mandate. He's shooting 43% from the field and has more TO's than assists.
The glorious run during Linsanity, and the promise of being one half of the flashiest, and best backcourt in the league, will soon become nothing more than a distant memory as Lin fades into mediocrity and obscurity.
RIP Linsanity, and thanks for the memories.

FORT COLLINS — My online-only post-practice story from the Rams' Tuesday workout in the Indoor Practice Facility is online and here.
After summarizing the injury situation, it gets to the nitty gritty of the Rams' running back situation.
Jeff Hammerschmidt, the running backs coach, might have been saying what many inferred to be obvious since the arrival of Dee Hart from Alabama, but he admitted the hope is that Hart proves to be the guy everyone thought he was when he was one of the top recruits in the country three years ago and that he grabs the job.
This wasn't in the story, but Hammerschmidt also noted that one of the reasons Kapri Bibbs didn't take over the job early last season was that his fumble against Colorado was returned for a touchdown in the opener. "But he had a special talent and I think one of these guys, hopefully one of these guys, we'll hand it to a couple of times and go, 'Whoa, OK.'"

Want to know where your tax dollars go? Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka unveiled a website Monday that can help you sort through the financial information of any government entity you're interested in.
There's a lot of good general information at warehouse.illinoiscomptroller.com — expenditures, property tax and sales tax revenues, etc. — and it is pretty easy to use. However, some entries require an explanation.
For example, if you look up Winnebago County and click on the "Capital Outlay" link, you only see zeroes. Seems there should be some numbers there and the fine print at the bottom doesn't help you figure out why there are no entries. You can make an educated guess, i.e., the information wasn't filled out, but it would be better to be sure.
We'd like to see more specific information. The site shows where money is spent by categories (financial administration, corrections), but we'd prefer to see who checks are being written to. Putting a taxing entity's entire checkbook online seems like a reasonable next step.
Also, we'd like to see a list of contractors. Who is the county, the city, the township, the Park District, etc., doing business with? Knowing that can help taxpayers spot any potential conflicts of interest.
Still, the information Topinka and her staff have helped taxpayers access is more than what they can get from most government websites.
The Illinois Policy Institute recently did a transparency audit on county websites and the results were troubling.
Of Illinois 102 counties, 22 did not even have a website. Of the rest, the average score for these counties was 32.8 out of a possible 100 points.
That's inexcusable.
Kudos to Topinka and staff for adding a bit of light to a state darkened by corruption. More is needed, but it's a good start.
Growth at the airport: The key to continued economic growth in the Rock River Valley is to help companies that are already here grow. That's what's happening at Chicago Rockford International Airport, where Emery Air added 30 aviation mechanics in the past several months.
Emery, which sells fuel and provides maintenance and repair on aircraft for regional airlines and business jets, has 165 employees and contractors. It needs more hangar space for maintenance work on Q400s flown by United Express. The airport board looks like it will make that happen.
Imagine a taxing body breaking down barriers and making it easier for a business to expand. That's what the airport board and Director Mike Dunn are doing.
Other government entities should emulate them.
Playoffs: It's a great time of year for high school football fans. The playoffs begin this weekend and 19 teams in the Register Star's coverage area hope they can advance toward a state championship.
Boylan, which is ranked No. 1 in Class 6A, hopes to regain the 6A championship it won in 2010. In 2011, the Titans won in 7A. Other local ranked teams are Rockford Lutheran (No. 8, 4A), Harvard (No. 9, 4A), Rochelle (No. 10, 4A), Winnebago (No. 5, 3A), Stillman Valley, (No. 6, 3A), Eastland-Pearl City (No. 4, 2A), Stockton (No. 1, 1A) and Forreston (No. 7, 1A). Stockton finished second a year ago.
The playoff-bound schools already have had successful seasons. We wish them all well as they try to build on their success for a championship run.

So I have been having some odd computer problems, and thus far have failed to diagnose the exact cause of them. Lets see if any of yall can help me out.
Here are the symptoms:
Symptom A: About every 2 or 3 days I get a message on my computer that reads something like "VPtray.exe has tried to read such-an-such spot in memory had has failed and must close." I then must press okay and allow the program to close. For those of you who are wondering, VPtray.exe is part of the Symantec Antivirus program and is more specifically the little program that is resident in the Windows system tray.
Now, many of you are saying, "So what....some program fails and you have to close it, who cares", but that is not the end of it. Once VPtray fails, everything fails. My computer is literally stopped dead in its tracks. I cannot run a single executable file. All network communication is down. There is no communication over the USB ports (my USB mouse fails to work, but I can still use my laptop touch pad). I can't even press CTRL-ALT-DEL to get some system diagnostics up....it just gives me an error message and fails to open.
In short, every 2 to 3 days when I get this error message about my Symantec Antivirus going down, I have to do a cold hard shutdown and then restart my computer. I can't even do a normal restart. I literally have to hold in the power button because nothing will work.
Symptom B: Rougly once every 1 or 2 weeks it seems that my network interfaces completely go down and I get no network communication at all unless I reboot. It just happened to me a few minutes ago, actually, which is what spawned me to write this post.
I was surfing the web when suddenly I noticed a slow-down in speed. Then 1 minute later all network connections were lost. No HTTP. No SSH. No FTP. Nothing. I tried disabling and re-enabling all my network stuff, but to no avail. I had to reboot.
I didn't have to do a cold, hard reboot like I have to do for symptom A, but I still had to reboot. Once I rebooted, everything now works as normal. This happens once every 1 or 2 weeks.
What do you think could be wrong?
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition as my OS. I have never had such problems with any XP installation before. The network problem (symptom B) has been going on for a couple of months, and the all-system-failure problem (symptom A) has been going on for about 3 weeks now.
I suspected a virus, but when I scan my computer I find nothing (using Symantec Antivirus, AdAware, and Spybot). Everything seems clean.
Any suggestions? Has anyone ever had similar symptoms?

It is important in your organization that you not see team building as a waste of time. It should be a time to create cohesion between your team members. Team Building should be thought more as team togetherness or team discovery. At is at some of these moments (during team events) that a bond is created that could not be created in the work environment.
At the historic Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, team building is really just about that – building up your team. We specialize in creating an atmosphere where each of your attendees can relax and learn what is important about being part of a team; shared goals, a deeper sense of commitment, understanding your reliance on one another and making sure you are having fun.

i used ubuntu for about 4 years and last couple of years used the development release because i wanted the latest software quicker.
1. rolling release and get newer apps faster.
2. wiki guides are great
3. easier to find the answer to problems.
4. only have apps that i want installed.
5. apps seem to run smoother.
Don't get me wrong Ubuntu is a great distro and i would have never tried linux if it wasn't for it, and it is great for new to linux people.
3. when i had problem with ubuntu finding answers on the web can be a minefield because you find all sorts of answers that only apply to certain versions or it doesn't work any more. The problems that i have had on arch i have found the answer alot faster and the wiki guides are very easy to follow and well written.
I wanted something that I could build up and configure according to my own needs, had a solid package management system, and was well documented. When I discovered Arch, it was love at first sight.
- Good judgement comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgement. -- Mark Twain
- There's a remedy for everything but death. -- The wise fool, Sancho Panza
- The purpose of a system is what it does. -- Anthony Stafford Beer
I chose Arch Linux randomly because I wanted to try something different. I had been using Ubuntu for 2 years and decided to switch. I didn't really understand what KISS or simple meant. When I first booted the OS, I thought something was wrong because no DM came up I packined but my ego wouldn't let me remove it without getting it to work first.
It was one of my life's best mistakes, I've been using it for two years as my main (and only) linux distro. I stick to it because it works, I only install what I need and the documentation is the best you can find online.
The minimalism, no bloat, very simple system configuration, the greatest wiki/documentation I've ever seen, I can tinker with it, pacman is fast and awesome, works perfect on my netbook and my desktop.
I love Arch Linux!

Package availability is a big one for me. It has literally everything I need right there in the repos, and if something is missing...well it's generally in the AUR at the very least.
It's one of the best distros IMO for Wine, for this reason. You always have Wine and it's other related packages there, fully up to date and everything which is great if you do gaming and the like.
Also, whilst Arch Linux is thought to be bleeding edge, it often seems to have sensible stable versions. For example... XBMC. The official stable version right now is 10.1 and that's the version you'll find in the Arch repos.
Recently, I tried installing XBMC on Debian. The easiest way was to add the Debian-Multimedia repository, as XBMC is not in their default repos (same with Ubuntu). So I did and the result? It installed the 11x beta...which, after trying it, in turn updated my Mysql tables and broke compatibility of my media syncing with all my other (10.1 stable) XBMC clients -_- It's not the only distro I've seen do that either, but anyway.
It's a small example but it's just to illustrate that what I want and like is often right there in Arch, even the non-free stuff as well. I like that Arch respects ultimate freedoms and just allows the user to install whatever they wish without having to jump through hoops (though I understand sometimes this is because of legal reasons. That's okay.) I've also found Arch to be very stable, personally. So far anyway
Also, I don't care what the benchmarks say, Arch Linux always feels a lot faster and more responsive to me. Yes, the benchmarks may not show a whole lot of actual speed differences...but seriously, "the feel" of Arch is one that is much lighter and faster. Ubuntu, even with lighter window managers etc, always feels sluggish to me. I understand it has to be bloated to be as ready made for everyone and Just Work, but I personally get annoyed by it and find that I like to squeeze performance out of my hardware. And it feels like Arch is making the most out of what I have.
Also, it feels to me like one of the best KDE distros. Yes I know, it's not technically a <insert DE> distro of anything. But Arch and KDE go together damn well and I have never experienced KDE to be so fast and modular as what I have experienced with it on Arch. It also amazes me how well the default Arch kernel seems to perform, but even still just last night I installed linux-ck-corex (for my Intel C2D chip and I wanted BFS) from the AUR ^_^ and that was incredibly easy.
Also, yeah...that Arch Wiki documentation is simply amazing.

I do feel arch is fastest,leanest OS even though the benchmarks are different.installation is one time consuming process,but its all worth it,for the customization options offered to you.
AUR is Ok but 3/10 packages never really work even though they have decent votes.
i feel arch wiki is one of the best available.it gives hands-on knowledge to get things done,rather than going volumes as in other wikis.
even in forums people are waiting to help you,provided you dont waste other people's time or commiting the sin of not googling around and asking for help.
even though the culture in forums is bit different for newbs to take initially its pleasant as time goes on.
since the principles of freeBSD is used in arch ,the more you use archlinux .... freeBSD tends to attract you on the sideways.

AUR is Ok but 3/10 packages never really work even though they have decent votes.
Yeah... agree (btw hey hadrons, I believe we see each other on the Fedora forums lol). However, I've always figured being a user contributed repo that sometimes you just have to tweak something in the PKGBUILD yourself and put up with it. Sometimes just alerting the maintainer is enough too.
But yeah, sometimes stuff in the AUR fails, but for the most part, it's amazingly simple and mostly works pretty well.

When I first started using linux - this was first and foremost - I think I've * asked maybe a handful of questions at most (yes I can count them)
With anything ... you want to achieve something (your desired effect) - you better learn it - don't wait for someone to teach you.

In no particular order:
1. Documentation - Arch has a learning curve but if you can read you can run Arch simply because the documentation is second to none.
2. Simple - Every Linux distro out there has infinite customization available to it (if you're root and don't mind config files), but Arch keeps it simple, places configs where you expect them to be placed, and doesn't require knowledge of a specific language in order to edit your configuration.
3. Sheer number of packages - I consider AUR packages to be "provided by Arch". There are enough packages in the AUR that I rarely (if ever anymore) have to go looking for a source tarball to manually create. Chances are, someone has already created the PKGBUILD for it and made it available to any and all who would use it.
4. Rolling Release - 'Nuff said.
5. Dependency handling - USE Flags are obsolete.
The most important thing:
I was a Gentoo user for years. I like Portage, it tried to be a Ports system for Linux. It did its job well for a while. Arch (IMO) perfected that system. I see Arch as the natural evolution of what Gentoo should have progressed to become but didn't. Arch took what Gentoo tried to do with Portage and a simple system setup and built on it without the need to get complicated. If I want more make optimizations than what is provided by an Arch package, I can write a PKGBUILD and edit my make.conf, as well as other things as desired.
It's powerful enough to handle anything that I throw at it but simple enough for my 7 and 8 year old kids to use as their primary OS on their systems.
Its simplicity is quite sophisticated. I like that.
Arch works very well, most importantly.
I actually run lots of OS's. Of those, I choose to keep Arch around because several reasons:
1. I do like having ONLY what I want installed. Arch & Debian are great for this.
2. I do like to keep up to date. Arch and OpenSuse are great for this (and with some work, Debian can do this, but generally it's more work than it's worth)

The main reason I'm using Arch is to learn more about what goes on under the hood in *NIX. I've been using Linux for about a year now, hopping from distro to distro, and I decided it was time I really start controlling my computer. The Arch Install process taught me more than I'd otherwise learned in the past six months! Of course, this is all thanks to the excellent wiki--thanks to everyone whose contributed to that. I use Gentoo for my server, and while the Gentoo wiki told me what to do to set everything up, the explanation about what precisely I was doing and why was lacking in comparison to the Arch wiki. I plan to stay with Arch for a long time for this reason.
Things that keep me using other distros for at least somethings.:
small package pool(at least compared to Ubuntu and Debian).
I've seen this sentiment a couple of times on this thread (obviously it doesn't keep you off Arch, since you're all here ), but I beg to differ. Before I moved to Arch, I primarily used Fedora both because it offered some customization (nowhere near what Arch offers, of course) because it had all the hot new things and because the package base was enormous and stable. I do a lot of scientific computing, and the databases in Debian are lacking in the newest versions of my favorite software in this respect. However, I've been pleasantly surprised with available packages in Arch. If something isn't in the main repositories, the AUR makes it a breeze for me to compile and install from source, a task I dreaded when I used Mint. While Arch's large package database is not my primary reason for using Arch, I would be unable to use it for work if the database was smaller.
Also, as an afterthought, Arch is wicked fast thanks to its minimalistic nature.
Sorry, this was probably TLDR.

I chose ArchLinux as I wanted to learn a bit about Linux basically. I've already learned quite a bit in the first few days of using it.
Also there's just something special about only using the command line, it's just fun and I like it.
I used to use Ubuntu 11.10 before ArchLinux (however I do plan to go back to Ubuntu, but I want to dualboot it with ArchLinux (which I plan to do sometime eventually)).
I was going to switch from Ubuntu 11.10 to Fedora 16 as it has Gnome3 already, but it was lacking a bunch of the things I really liked about Ubuntu (such as multi-touch on my touch pad).
Instead I decided to try out ArchLinux and learn about Linux a bit more before I switch back to Ubuntu (and I plan to put ArchLinux on this old Dell Latitude CSx I have sometime and try it out on that).
I use Arch because it gives the user the possibility to configure the system accrodingly to his own needs. This is fundamental to understand how an OS works.
Moreover, it works perfectly on old computers as well.
Pacman, the AUR, the Wikis, and last but not least this forum.
I switched to Arch Linux back in 2011 because of it's rolling release, pacman and I think Arch Linux is thee best Operating System and far better than MS Windows

How to ask questions the smart way
I've only been seriously using Arch for a little over a week so I'm not going to sing praises just yet but I must say that I like it so far. I initially tried it out because I just wanted to try something new, and I specifically wanted to try out a rolling release distro.
I really like Pacman so far, it's extremely easy to search for local and repo packages and to display a list of what you have installed (I know that this can be done with other package mangers but I always forget how). The AUR is very nice, it reminds me of SlackBuilds, but quite a bit bigger and more convenient. The system is pretty easy to work with, I quite like how config files are set up, it's easier for me to remember what file to go to when I want to do something in Arch than other systems (though Slackware's set up was pretty easy to remember too). To echo others, the Wiki is fantastic, it's helped me with most everything I needed help with. It's also been pretty stable so far, I'm not using the testing repos so hopefully that will continue.
I chose Arch because I LOVE being in control over what's on my computer from the start, I had Slackware for a long time (and loved it) but I didn't like actually having to select what not to install to have a truly stripped down and stream lined system, with Arch it's like a fresh install and I get to choose what's on it... Plus frequent updates is huge for me
I started using Arch back in 2007. I was intimidated at first considering that I had only used Ubuntu. The install was straight forward and configuration was a breeze. The more I got familiar with Arch, the more I loved it. I tried several other distros(Debian, LinuxMint, OpenSUSE, just to name a few) but I always kept comparing them to Arch. Finally decided to trash all the other install discs and stick with what works best for me--ARCH!!

Originally, I was trying to build an HTPC with Ubuntu or Debian and the runlevel and rc stuff was a nightmare.
I like rolling release better than standard release
I hate installing an OS, then unsintalling a bunch of default programs and installing my own preferred programs. Better to just start from scratch
abs and aur
Arch just works (I've had the same install for over 2 years, no bugs or issues. -- I don't use testing or beta software-- In the 6 year's I've used arch, my hardware failed before the OS had a chance to.)

By Annie Levenson-Falk, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota, an advocate for residential and small business utility consumers.
Ben Fowke, the president and CEO of Xcel Energy, recently announced an ambitious plan to cut the utility's carbon emissions 80 percent by 2030. To reach that goal, Xcel Energy will double down on clean energy. It plans to generate 60 percent renewable energy by 2030.
That's fantastic news for consumers. It means not only lower emissions but also savings on electric bills.
Xcel's new vision is a big acceleration over its latest 15-year plan, which called for 35 percent renewable energy by 2030 and was finalized earlier this year. Xcel is on track to achieve that goal just five years from now, so it was already time to raise the bar.
Why is Xcel Energy making this leap? First and foremost, because it makes economic sense.
Wind power is the cheapest source of electricity available today. Increasing clean energy, Fowke said, will allow Xcel to keep electric bill increases at, or below the consumer price index.
In September, an Xcel representative testified to the Minnesota Legislative Energy Commission that the company was purchasing wind energy for a cost of $15 to $20 per megawatt-hour. Energy from natural gas generation-the main energy source competing with renewables today-cost Xcel between $25 and $35 per megawatt-hour. In fact, in a recent interview with MPR, Fowke said it's cheaper for Xcel Energy to build new wind turbines than to simply operate even the lowest-cost of Xcel's existing coal plants. Wind power is that cheap.
Investing too heavily in natural gas generation leaves consumers open to higher monthly electric bills. Natural gas prices are low today, but gas markets are notoriously hard to predict.
When gas prices spike, customers see the impact directly on their bills. When a utility builds a natural gas power plant, consumers bear that risk over the next three or four decades that the plant is expected to operate. Wind, sun and water, on the other hand, are free fuel sources, so the price of renewable power is set from the day the mechanism used to harvest these sources is built.
Bottom line: With its renewable energy vision, Xcel is making a good business decision while also giving their customers what they want - clean, reliable energy and lower electric bills.
So here's my question: Could other Minnesota power companies do the same thing?
Minnesota Power, the electric provider to much of northern Minnesota, plans to generate 44 percent of its electricity from wind, solar, and hydropower by 2025. Great River Energy, which supplies electricity to many of Minnesota's rural cooperative utilities, plans to reach 33 percent renewable energy in 2032. That's a good start, but Xcel Energy has shown that more ambitious clean energy goals are in customers' best interest.
According to Minnesota Power's calculations, getting the wind and solar power needed to meet the state's Renewable Energy Standard has actually saved customers 0.34 cents per kilowatt-hour-that's more than $2.50 off an average residential bill each month. Great River Energy, too, has seen savings for its customers.
It's worth noting that Xcel Energy will share the details of its carbon-cutting plan when it files a new Integrated Resource Plan in 2019. That's a chance for Xcel Energy customers to hold the power company accountable to these goals and ensure that they continue to prioritize clean, affordable energy.
With these kinds of numbers, it may be possible for Xcel to reduce carbon emissions even further, and to do so with even greater savings for customers-and other utilities can do the same.
It's clear that increasing clean energy is the best option for power companies and their customers.
Xcel Energy is showing that clean energy can be a win-win for utilities, consumers, and the environment. I look forward to working with Xcel and all of Minnesota's utilities towards cleaner, more affordable energy for their customers.

FF-Color Coded Labels
*8/8/11 UPDATE: I've re uploaded the file and the link should work now! ENJOY!
I was lying in bed last night mulling over the freebie I had for you today. I wasn't very satisfied with it. I had planned to do labels, but didn't like the way they were turning out. I wanted them to be more useful. And then the thought popped in that labels are usually used to organize things, and what better way to organize than by color? Thus, the color coded labels were born. Use them as is, or write more specific labels in the white space. I think they would be great for labeling bins of fabric-by color, or craft supplies. Print two sets and use them to teach a little one about colors. Unfortunately they aren't formatted for labels, so either use glue or tape to adhere them, or print them on adhesive backed paper. As always they print on an 8 1/2 by 11 and each label measures 3 inches by 1.5 inches (although if you cut it out with white around the edge like I did they measure a bit bigger). Get the labels here.
Please use them for personal purposes only :) Enjoy!
*Also, I've got a few things in the works for future Freebie Fridays, but I would love any comments on what sort of things you'd like to see as a freebie. Let me know what would be useful or fun, and we'll see what we can do!

Actually it is kinda handy that they can be on plain paper for a teaching tools, putting the labels in front of an item with the color listed (foods, blocks, cereal loops,etc.). Glue stick works wonders!

Business executives love to hate information technology, yet IT expenditures continue to increase. In 2002, $780 billion was spent on IT in the United States alone, with IT budgets of individual companies, such as Citigroup Inc., reportedly as high as $4 billion. At the same time, accounts of wasted investments make headlines, providing fuel for IT skeptics: An estimated 68% of corporate IT projects are neither on time nor on budget, and they don't deliver the originally stated business goals. Some even claim that during the last two years, $100 billion to $150 billion of U.S. IT projects have failed altogether.1
Considering that IT budgets comprise hundreds or even thousands of projects running simultaneously across functions, business units and geographies, it's a challenge to select projects for investment that are synchronized with corporate strategy. Charged with managing such projects effectively, executives are asking, "How do we maximize the business value from IT investments?"2
The answer may be IT portfolio management (ITPM) —that is, managing IT as a portfolio of assets similar to a financial portfolio and striving to improve the performance of the portfolio by balancing risk and return.
Analogies that build on financial-portfolio theory or on concepts about product and research-and-development pipeline portfolios (which are more akin to IT portfolio management than to financial portfolios) are not new.3 ITPM has evolved into a combination of practices and techniques used to measure and increase the return on individual and aggregate technology investments — existing and planned — and to reduce risk. An investment portfolio comprises all direct and indirect IT projects and assets, including infrastructure, outsourcing contracts and software licenses.
To find out how extensively ITPM is used in large U.S. companies, we conducted research from November 2002 to March 2003. The research — consisting of a survey of 130 Fortune 1000 chief information officers and in-depth interviews with selected respondents — measured ITPM adoption, identified implementation hurdles, assessed benefits, defined best practices and formulated strategies for success. (See "About the Research.")

Proposals for in-person presentations at the conference may be submitted as one of four types: 1) Paper Presentation (which will be scheduled as part of a Themed Session or Roundtable Discussion); 2) Workshop/Interactive Presentation; 3) Poster or Exhibit; 4) Colloquim. Each of these is explained in more detail below.
An accepted proposal for a single paper presentation (prepared by one or more authors) will be assigned to one of the following formats by the Program Development group:
a) Themed Session
This type of session is best suited for reports on completed research or scholarly work. Authors present summaries or overviews of their work, describing the essential features (related to purpose, procedures, outcomes or product). The formal oral presentation of work should be limited to 15 minutes. Presentations are grouped according to topic or perspective into these themed sessions (which are usually either 75 or 90 minutes), with time provided after all of the presentations for Q&A and group discussion. Authors are welcome to include visual supports (paper handouts, computer slides, or digital displays) to assist delivery of their oral presentation. Please note that we cannot provide photocopying facilities at the Conference, but we will provide data projectors in each room. Multiple-authored presentations are welcome, although only one article may be submitted to the Arts in Society Collection based on each presentation.
b) Roundtable Session
This type of session is best suited for position papers, reviews of theoretical or conceptual frameworks, works-in-progress, policy analyses, or topics that generate, or benefit from, extended discussion. Authors are each assigned a numbered table in a large meeting room for the full session (usually about 40 minutes), during which time they converse and interact with interested delegates who join them at their table. The discussion may begin with the author presenting a synopsis of their work, to generate discussion on the topic. Authors are encouraged to bring copies of their papers and/or a short handout summarizing their work for distribution at their tables. Multiple authors of a single paper may participate, and one article per roundtable may be submitted for publication.
This type of session is best suited for teaching or demonstrating particular procedures, skills, or techniques. Appropriate considerations for this Session format may include, for example: a workshop, demonstration, performance, exhibition, staged conversation, debate, or extended dialogue with the audience. These sessions are scheduled for about 45 minutes and should be structured so that some explanatory or introductory information is provided, with ample time for audience interaction, participation, and involvement. A single article, jointly authored if appropriate, may be submitted to the Arts in Society Collection based on an Interactive Presentation.
This format is ideal for presenting preliminary results of work in progress or for projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. In these sessions (generally about 45 minutes), a number of authors have the opportunity to display or exhibit their work and engage in informal discussion about their work with other delegates throughout the session. Displays may be posters (maximum 1.22x1.83 meters/4x6 feet), digital/computer displays, artwork, or other visual media. Each display should include a brief abstract of the purpose and procedures of the work; handouts or copies of written material may also be available. Space for the poster or exhibit will be provided by the Conference, however all materials must be organized by the presenter, including posters, displays, handouts or other appropriate materials. Please note that we cannot guarantee a dedicated power source for each presenter. Authors may submit a formal paper describing their work to the Arts in Society Collection.
This Conference Session is scheduled for 90 minutes and involves five authors who are proposing a set of papers based on a shared theme or topic. The papers may present complementary aspects of a specific body of work, or contrasting perspectives on a specified topic. There must be at least five registered participants (for example, a Chair and four presenters, or five presenters). The presenters should conceive and design the session to allow time for individual presentations (approximately 15 minutes each) and at least 15 minutes of audience discussion or question-and-answer. All participants must be listed on the proposal submission form (list as one primary author, and 4 or more co-authors). Either a single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the Arts in Society Collection based on the content of a colloquium session.
We welcome article submission from all authors with an accepted presentation proposal. For more information about article submission, please click here.
Authors who wish to submit an article for potential publication but are unable to attend the conference in person may submit a proposal for article submission. Acceptance of a proposal for article submission is based on the same criteria as that for an attending participant. Publication in the Arts in Society Collection requires membership in the knowledge community. For more information about article submission, please click here. Non-attending members may also wish to upload an online presentation to the conference YouTube channel.

Hey, you! Yes you, Mr. Average American citizen! Are you aware that your men's national hockey team beat Switzerland yesterday? Well, they did, and it was awesome!
Not only that, your ladies' team plays Canada tonight for the gold. So whether you like hockey or not, you have two good reasons to start acting like you do.
That's right. It's time to jump firmly onto the Team U.S.A. bandwagon. Don't like bandwagons? Think bandwagons are for Red Sox fans? Don't worry. This is a totally different KIND of bandwagoning. Bandwagoning is completely acceptable when it comes to national teams. After all, no one wants to cheer on a bunch of LOSER countrymen. Much smarter to make sure they're good first. Also, the entire Olympics are, by their very nature, a bandwagon sporting event. You're SUPPOSED to only care once every four years. If you cared all the time, the Olympics wouldn't be as special.
So ditch your fears of liking hockey and join me. Don't worry if you missed seeing the men beat Switzerland and Canada. So did I, and I'm still totally jazzed! I bought a Team U.S.A. jersey, Team U.S.A. coffee mug and I can name three members of the team. I am fully prepared to make my jump onto the bandwagon.
This is the perfect time to get on the bandwagon, because the women play for a championship tonight and the men are in the semifinals tomorrow. You only need to watch, like three games MAX. That's it! Now, here is the schedule…
USA vs. Finland – Friday 2:00PM – Live on NBC
NBC will air this game live in all time zones tomorrow afternoon. That means you totally have an excuse to put off stupid work and skip out to the bar with your workmates. Any boss who castigates you for this is unpatriotic and deserves to be placed on some sort of FBI Watch List. This is no joke. THIS IS FINLAND.
Now, perhaps you know very little about our team, or about hockey in general. Fear not. Simply use any of the quotes below to make it sound like you know what you're talking about:
"No one goes top shelf on my boy Quick!"
"The enlarged Olympic ice rink certainly allows for a freer flowing game, don't you think?"
"Look! Zach Parise! He plays for the New Jersey Devils! I know such things!"
"Teemu Salanne! He's Finnish! BOOOOOOOOOOOO."
"OGLETHORPE??!!" (said in French accent)
You'll blend in immediately.
Gold Medal Final – Sunday 3:15PM – Live on NBC
If we get past those pesky Fins, we've got ourselves the perfect Sunday afternoon treat. So fasten your seatbelt and prepare to front run. There's plenty of room on the bandwagon, and Team U.S.A. needs your casual interest!

TORONTO - Yamana Gold Inc. (TSX:YRI) reported Wednesday higher quarterly profits and revenues compared to a year ago and said it expects to see at least a 20 per cent increase in production this year.
The precious metals miner says its net earnings for the last three months of 2012 were $169.2 million, or 22 cents per share.
During the same 2011 period, it reported net earnings of $89.6 million, or 12 cents per share.
Quarterly revenues rose to a record $629.5 million, from $568.7 million.
On an adjusted basis, Yamana's earnings were $197.4 million, or 26 cents per share, compared to $184.2 million, or 25 cents per share a year earlier.
That beat analyst estimates of 25 cents per share for the quarter, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters.
The improved profits were the result of higher mine operation earnings and were partly offset by higher expenses.
"Our objective has been to become a more predictable and reliable precious metals company delivering value to shareholders through increasing our resource base, expanding production and ultimately generating cash flow and increases in cash flow," said CEO Peter Marrone.
"In the coming year, we will continue to strive for consistency and reliability in the delivery of high quality ounces at comparatively low cost."
Yamana posted record production of 1.2 million gold-equivalent ounces in 2012, an increase from 1.1 million ounces.
In 2013, Yamana expects production to range from 1.44 million to 1.6 million, most of which will come from a full year of output from its Mercedes gold and silver mine in Mexico, an expansion at the Minera Florida mine in Chile and production ramp ups at other mines.
For all of 2012, Yamana's net earnings were $442.1 million, or 59 cents per share, compared with $548 million, or 74 cents per share, during 2011. Yamana said the drop was a result of higher taxes in Chile.
Adjusted earnings were $694 million, or 93 cents per share, compared to $712 million, or 96 cents per share in 2011 on higher expenses.
Revenues were $2.3 billion in 2012, up from $2.2 billion in 2011.
Also Wednesday, Yamana announced a first-quarter dividend of 6.5 cents per share.
Shares in Yamana, which reported its results after markets closed Wednesday, fell 3.6 per cent to $14.69 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Jeanne Oswald
(609) 292-4310
The Commission on Higher Education today called for greater state investment in New Jersey's colleges and universities, stressing higher education's pivotal role in addressing the economic and social challenges facing the state in the new century.
"Within the state and around the world, economic growth and prosperity depend on knowledge, technology, and human capital," said Al Koeppe, chairman of the Commission. "As the demand for higher education and advanced skills increases, New Jersey's colleges and universities fuel the state's economy and are integral to its future health and well-being."
The draft budget policy statement for FY 2002, slated for adoption in late October, focuses on the strategic investments that will assure the state's continued competitiveness and extend prosperity to all of its residents. The Commission calls for a new teacher preparation initiative and increased funding in several priority areas, including aid for four-year public colleges and universities as well as independent institutions, support programs for disadvantaged students, and high-tech research and workforce development.
In light of growing demands for higher education, the economy's escalating dependence on advanced knowledge and technology, and New Jersey's longstanding commitment to access and affordability, now is the time to significantly increase the state's share of operating costs for the senior public institutions, the budget statement says. The Commission recommends a four percent increase in operating aid for the state's three public research universities and the nine state colleges and universities. The state's coordinating body for higher education also calls for full support of negotiated salary increases and contractual increments for these institutions.
"Increased funding for community colleges in each of the past three years has held tuition increases in check and helped students complete their degrees expeditiously. Making a similar commitment to the four-year colleges will help keep them strong and responsive to workforce and societal needs, without relying on students to pay an increasing share of costs," said James E. Sulton, Jr., the Commission's executive director.
The Commission's budget statement also recommends increased funding for the state's independent colleges and universities, which contribute significantly to access, diversity, and economic well-being, as well as a continued commitment to the community colleges.
To keep higher education affordable and extend opportunities to all New Jerseyans, the Commission is recommending additional funding to help disadvantaged students succeed in college. The Commission will seek an additional $1.5 million for Educational Opportunity Fund campus-based support programs and $2.1 million to expand precollege programs for middle- and high-school students in the Abbott school districts. As in previous years, the Commission is calling upon the state to continue the strong commitment that has made New Jersey a national leader in need-based student aid programs.
"While New Jersey's citizenry is highly educated, we must make special efforts to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve and prosper," said Mr. Koeppe, who is also the president and chief operating officer of Public Service Electric and Gas Co. in Newark. "This is particularly true at the elementary and secondary level, where teacher quality is inextricably linked to student achievement and, ultimately, to economic prosperity."
Higher education plays the leading role in teacher preparation and professional development, and the Commission is recommending a new initiative to expand the state's capacity to produce highly effective teachers. Like many other states, New Jersey faces a significant demand for new teachers who must be well prepared to equip all students with a higher level of skills to master curriculum content standards and succeed in college and beyond.
Recognizing that academic research and technology-related academic programs are instrumental in creating new jobs, spawning new industries, and improving productivity, the Commission's budget statement also requests additional funding to continue two initiatives launched this year as part of Governor Whitman's New Jersey Jobs for the New Economy initiative. The Commission seeks $10 million to increase university research capacity in biomedical and other high-tech areas and attract more federal and corporate research grants to New Jersey. The panel also recommends an additional $15 million for a second round of High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants that build on strong programs in select disciplines to address the current and future workforce needs of key New Jersey industries.

What the Broncos draft did for … Champ Bailey
Champ lives on!
Entering the draft, the Broncos had an eye on selecting the heir apparent to Bailey, who turns 35 next month, with their No. 28 overall pick.
But the top four corners went off the board from No. 9 overall, where Dee Milliner went to the Jets, to No. 25, when Xavier Rhodes was selected by the Vikings. The Broncos were particularly hoping for the 6-foot-2 Rhodes, but when he was gone, the next best player on their board was DT Sylvester Williams.

HOMA Calculator
The Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) estimates steady state beta cell function (%B) and insulin sensitivity (%S), as percentages of a normal reference population. These measures correspond well, but are not necessarily equivalent, to non-steady state estimates of beta cell function and insulin sensitivity derived from stimulatory models such as the hyperinsulinaemic clamp, the hyperglycaemic clamp, the intravenous glucose tolerance test (acute insulin response, minimal model), and the oral glucose tolerance test (0-30 delta I/G).
In 1976, Robert Turner and Rury Holman developed the concept that fasting plasma insulin and glucose levels were determined, in part, by a hepatic-beta cell feedback loop [Abstract]. They postulated that elevated fasting glucose levels reflected a compensatory mechanism that maintained fasting insulin levels when there was a reduced insulin secretory capacity, and that fasting insulin levels were elevated in direct proportion to diminished insulin sensitivity. A mathematical feedback model based on these hypotheses was constructed to estimate the degrees of beta cell function and insulin sensitivity that would equate to the steady state plasma glucose and insulin levels observed in an individual [Metabolism 1979; 28:1086-96].
In 1985, David Matthews et al published an expanded and more comprehensive structural model known as the Homeostasis Assessment Model (HOMA). This model, written in Fortran, took greater account of peripheral glucose uptake and could use fasting levels of specific insulin or C-peptide in addition to RIA insulin [Diabetologia 1985; 28(7): 412-9]. As an alternative to running the Fortran computer model, a set of linear equations were also made available. These gave approximate values of %B and, instead of %S, HOMA IR (insulin resistance) which is the reciprocal of %S (100/%S). The equations have been used widely, particularly for estimates of beta cell function and insulin resistance in large-scale studies, but are not appropriate for use with currently available insulin assays.
In 1998, Jonathan Levy et al published an updated HOMA model (HOMA2) which took account of variations in hepatic and peripheral glucose resistance, increases in the insulin secretion curve for plasma glucose concentrations above 10 mmol/L (180 mg/dL) and the contribution of circulating proinsulin [Diabetes Care 1998; 21: 2191-92]. The model was recalibrated also to give %B and %S values of 100% in normal young adults when using currently available assays for insulin, specific insulin or C-peptide.
In 2004, the HOMA Calculator was released. This provides quick and easy access to the HOMA2 model for researchers who wish to use model-derived estimates of %B and %S, rather than linear approximations. It runs on a variety of computer platforms and can be downloaded from this site. https://www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homacalculator/

Colorado State football assistant coaches also receive pay hike
FORT COLLINS – Colorado State announced four more hires to its football staff today, making the total coaches on first-year head coach Jim McElwain's staff now eight. And just as McElwain's $1.5 million annual salary is the highest ever paid to a Rams football coach, assistant coaches' compensation also rose to new levels.
Last season, CSU assistants averaged $123,777 with defensive coordinator Larry Kerr making the most at $200,000. Three assistants made less than $100,000. That no longer exists now.
Now, no assistant makes less than $135,000. The total money to be paid out to assistants is $1.345 million, an average of $168,000 per person. And that average won't decrease when CSU finalizes the contract of its new defensive coordinator, to be announced soon.
These are the salaries of CSU's new coordinators, followed by those from last season for comparison.
Dave Baldwin, offensive coordinator: $225,000
Billy Napier, assistant head coach/quarterbacks: $210,000

Smutty Social Media, January 31, 2017
SAF/ Splash News
UnREAL season 3 is set to begin filming in Vancouver. I don't know if I should hold out a little hope for this show; even Friday Night Lights had a shaky second season (which was mostly due to the writers' strike). It's not that season 2 was bad, it's that it was completely tone-deaf and exploited #blacklivesmatter. Full Story
Chris Evans in Playing It Cool review
Ugh, this f*cking movie. I have uncontrollable hatred for this movie. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. It's the dumbest movie I've seen in recent memory—yes, even dumber than Hot Tub Time Machine 2. At least that movie knows it's dumb. Full Story
Beardy Chris Evans before the Globes

Taking the night off from preparing substitute math curriculum, Chris Evans attended W Magazine's pre-Golden Globes party. He looks good in his newly-acquired hot-for-teacher way, if maybe a bit underdressed, but man, that beard really works for him. The beard has reignited by Chris Evan Crush in full force. Full Story
Career Prospectus: Michelle Monaghan
(For previous installments of the Career Prospectus series, please click here.) I have often wondered about the missing link for Michelle Monaghan's career.

She's THAT girl where I always go, "Oh yeah!" when she pops up in Sunday re-runs of Bourne Supremacy and Mr. Full Story
The new Keanu Reeves
There's another Nicholas Sparks movie coming out in November. It's called The Best Of Me. The trailer was released a couple of days ago. Predictably they used that John Legend wedding song that keeps repeating on the radio. So you'll recognise the signature Sparks story. Much like The Notebook, there's a before and after. Full Story

Novartis Consumer Health Over-The-Counter Products: Recall – Potential Presence of Foreign Tablets or Chipped or Broken Tablets or Gelcaps
ISSUE: Novartis Consumer Health Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots of over-the-counter products Exedrin, Bufferin, Gas-X Prevention and NoDoz. Reports were received of chipped and broken pills and inconsistent bottle packaging clearance practices at the Lincoln, Nebraska facility, which could result in the bottles containing foreign tablets, caplets, or capsules.
Mixing of different products in the same bottle could result in consumers taking the incorrect product and receiving a higher or lower strength than intended or receiving an unintended ingredient. This could potentially result in overdose, interaction with other medications a consumer may be taking, or an allergic reaction if the consumer is allergic to the unintended ingredient.
BACKGROUND: This voluntary recall pertains to all lots of select bottle packaging configurations from retailers of Excedrin and Nodoz products (expiry dates of December 20, 2014 or earlier), and Bufferin and Gax-X Products (expiry dates of December 20, 2013 or earlier), in the United States.
RECOMMENDATION: All of the pills in the bottle should look the same. If patients find a pill that is different in shape, size, color, or markings, they should bring their medicine bottle to their pharmacist and not take any of those pills.
Consumers that have the product(s) being recalled should stop using them and contact the Novartis Consumer Relationship Center at 1-888-477-2403 (available Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time) for information on how to return the affected products.
