California and baseball, they were made for each other. They go together like hot dogs & mustard, guacamole & chips, politics & debate. Kismet.
Long before Walter O'Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) moved their New York business interests cross-country to the Golden State ('58), the game of baseball was already well-situated on the Pacific Coast, producing such gems as Joe DiMaggio (SF / Martinez) and Ted Williams (San Diego).
But a major league presence? That's a whole 'nother ball-game. Big doings.
And when the franchise moves were being planned in 1957, there was no question the Los Angeles team would have the bigger impact on the State and baseball. LA was three-times the size of San Francisco and since WW2 had been fast displacing the Bay area as the undeniable epicenter for the State's burgeoning commerce and entertainment industry.
While the Giants fielded an impressive roster at their new digs with names like Mays, Cepeda, Perry, McCovey & Marichal, they would reach but one World Series before 1989, losing the memorable 1962 fall classic to long-time rival the Yankees, 4-3.
Down South the Dodgers hit the ground running. In only their second season in Chavez Ravine, the boys in blue hosted a World Series ('59) and broke with tradition by taking it. Then they did it again in '63 and '65. Transplanted Brooklynites Walter Alston, Duke Snider, Koufax, Drysdale and LA original Maury Wills all became the talk of the nation.
Soon thereafter, three more teams would call California home: the Angels in 1961 (Anaheim '66); Charlie Finley's Kansas City Athletics (Oakland '68) and the fledgling San Diego Padres ('69), owned today by Peter O'Malley, son of Walter.
Though fan support has fluctuated, the As have been a stalwart organization, hoisting six pennants in Oakland, three times that of its NL rival across the Bay. The Padres have made two Series ('84 / '98) and the Angels took their lone title in 2002.
It's always been the Dodgers who've held a special place in the hearts of most Californians. A second wave of success in the 70s & 80s secured this spot as they appeared in five more Series, capturing crowns in '81 & '88.
But since those halcyon days of Garvey, Valenzuela, Hershiser, Gibson & Lasorda, there have been no more pennants unfurled over Dodger Stadium. Only broadcast legend Vin Scully, planning on a return in 2013, gives the grounds its championship feel.
You can't live off the past forever.
Even with some plucky mid-season moves in 2012 (Ramirez / Boston cast-offs) and new investor Earvin "Magic" Johnson joining the ownership group, the Dodgers again missed the post-season, forcing their fandom to watch arch-rival San Francisco bask in the glow of a playoffs spotlight to which they're growing quite accustomed.
With the San Francisco Giants winning their second championship in three seasons (2010) by besting the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers 4-0 in World Series 2012, baseball aficionados are left scratching their heads in befuddlement.
Explanations for the surprising result range from the sensible (Giants' pitching), to the whiney (DH fans), to my own guess (homer-happy AL can't adjust) and finally the strange ("funky spin" on the ball / ESPN's Aaron Boone). That last one sounds like a "Dirk Diggler" dance move (Boogie Nights / '97).
To say the Giants' victory is an upset rings as trite as saying 'Have a nice day.' I don't know what an upset is anymore. Basketball excepted, the watch-words in today's sporting world are 'expect the unexpected.' Exactly when & where the upset occurs, that's the conundrum for prognosticators, week in, week out.
Can't say the same for politics, unless you go back to 1948 and Harry "The buck stops here" Truman. That's bad news for Mr. Romney, though he does have Diebold on his side (vote machines). And then there's his ace in the hole, that GOP stand-by (10x) and vestige of our powder-wigged forefathers, the one, the only, tah-dah: Electoral College.
Tonight I'm sensing seismic waves emanating from the West Coast. But don't be alarmed, California folk. I don't mean the plate tectonic variety. What I sense is a major shifting in the balance of baseball power in your grand State.
The Giants 2012 World Series title moves the center of California's baseball universe upstate to San Francisco, leaving the Dodgers, Angels, Padres and neighboring Athletics as mere satellites orbiting the bright star that has become the Giants.
And yes, stars can fade, just like the Dodgers did by way of a lackadaisical ownership that dates back to the early 90s. In those infamous words of Newt Gingrich, they've nearly let it "die on the vine (SSI)."
But this a big leap for the Bay area G-Men. Multiple titles will start the dynasty discussion and can be the first serious step towards becoming a standard-bearer organization, i.e., the Yankees, Red Wings, Lakers, Packers, Patriots and Giants.
Astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) took one doozey of a step back in 1969 when he left the safety of Apollo 11 and became the first Earthling to venture forth onto the meteor maligned surface of the Moon. The San Francisco Giants' hope the historical step they took in Detroit this October 28, 2012 proves to be just as memorable to baseball fans as Mr. Armstrong's famous step has been to the world.

United Airlines Stops Researcher Who Tweeted about Airplane Network Security from Boarding Flight to Security Conferences
Our client, Chris Roberts, a founder of the security intelligence firm One World Labs, found himself detained by the FBI earlier this week after tweeting about airplane network security during a United Airlines flight. When Roberts landed in Syracuse, he was questioned by the FBI, which ultimately seized a number of his electronic devices. EFF attorneys now represent Roberts, and we're working to get his devices back promptly. But unfortunately last week's tweet and FBI action isn't the end of the story.
Apple, that's who. Or Microsoft, or any of the other vendors whose products US government contractors have successfully exploited according to a recent report in the Intercept. While we're not surprised that the Intelligence Community is actively attempting to develop new spycraft tools and capabilities—that's their job—we expect them to follow the administration's rules of engagement. Those rules require an evaluation under what's known as the "Vulnerabilities Equities Process." In the White House's own words, the process should usually result in disclosing software vulnerabilities to vendors, because "in the majority of cases, responsibly disclosing a newly discovered vulnerability is clearly in the national interest."
It's been more than a year since Aaron Swartz's tragic death, and now Aaron's life is the subject of a new documentary, The Internet's Own Boy, directed by Brian Knappenberger. The documentary has received much acclaim and deservedly so. It tells the story of a political activist and innovator who put theory into practice, always experimenting and building new tools and methodologies to animate his theory of change.
This summer we proudly unveiled EFF's fifth limited edition member t-shirt to DEF CON 22 attendees at the annual hacker conference in Las Vegas. Secretive organizations scheming global domination and watching everything you do may not be very far fetched, but we've turned that concept on its head with a digital freedom society-themed motif created by EFF Senior Designer Hugh D'Andrade. Together we are growing our own conspiracy to defend privacy and free expression for all. Hidden within the rich mystic symbolism of the crossing keypair, ethernet cable crest, lockpicks, and anti-surveillance eye is a secret puzzle for you to decipher, the likes of which would make even Voynich jealous! Warning: spoilers are ahead, and you already know too much!
The Yorba Foundation, a non-profit group that produces open source Linux desktop software, reported last week that it was denied tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status by the IRS. The group had waited nearly five years for a decision. The IRS stated that, because the software Yorba develops can be used commercially, the organization has a substantial non-exempt purpose and is disqualified from tax-exempt status. We think the IRS' decision rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of open source software.

The Mega2560 differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the ATmega16U2 (ATmega8U2 in the revision 1 and revision 2 boards) programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.Revision 2 of the Mega2560 board has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it easier to put into DFU mode.Revision 3 of the board has the following new features:1.0 pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V. The second one is a not connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.Stronger RESET circuit.Atmega 16U2 replace the 8U2.

Mentoring Matters: A Henrico Citizen Community Initiative
In the Henrico Citizen's Feb. 4-17, 2010 issue, we are proud to introduce our "Mentoring Matters" initiative, which is designed to encourage individuals, businesses and organizations to spend at least one hour a month mentoring a student in the county.
Below, we have provided information to help you get involved. We hope you'll Join the Henrico Citizen in making an impact in the lives of Henrico County students!
About This Initiative
The Henrico Citizen is committed to serving Henrico County. We believe there is no better way to ensure that our county remains strong and vibrant in the future than to invest in the success of our students in the present.
In this issue, we are establishing a countywide effort to encourage businesses, organizations and individuals to take an active role in the future of Henrico County by mentoring students. All students, regardless of age, race, economic background or educational aptitude, can benefit from the advice, guidance and support of an adult mentor. Each of us has talents, advice, abilities and life lessons to share with youngsters.
What if each person reading these words spent just one hour in a school each month mentoring a student? Think what a difference we could make!
How You Can Help
There are several ways in which your business, organization or you as an individual can help this effort:
Organizations – Is your organization or club seeking a community project? Why not "adopt" a school through mentoring? The only cost is a small commitment of time, and your efforts will leave lasting marks on the schools and students with whom you develop relationships.
Individuals – Contact one of the schools listed below and offer yourself as a mentor. The school system is actively seeking mentors to participate in middle-school and high-school mentoring programs. Mentors also are welcome at elementary schools throughout the county. We've listed schools by region – West End, Northside and Eastern Henrico – so please consider contacting a school near your home or your office for more information about how to get involved.
Become a Partner – The Henrico Citizen is seeking business, organization and individual partners to help promote this initiative throughout the community and within their spheres of influence. Participate – and let others know that you're a mentor. We are also seeking businesses willing to donate small prizes to this effort, such as free lunch or dinner coupons, so that we may select at random several participants each month to reward with small tokens of appreciation for their efforts.

Fristfest celebration set for April 30-May 2
Posted April 22, 2009; 05:52 p.m.
Princeton students, faculty, staff and their families are invited to the Frist Campus Center to celebrate spring and the conclusion of the academic year at the annual Fristfest Weekend, set for Thursday through Saturday, April 30-May 2.
Fristfest Weekend kicks off at 4 p.m. Thursday with a beach-themed picnic and carnival on Frist's south lawn featuring live entertainment, games and giveaways. Additional activities will include coed volleyball and "speed stacking" competitions coordinated by the Office of Campus Recreation.
This year's live entertainment lineup features two New Jersey bands: Stuck in a Decade ('80s rock) and Status Green (rock and pop). University acts will include Funkmaster General (R&B and soul); the Plagiarists (rock and alternative); and the 2008 "Princetonian Idol" winner, junior Shenita Baltimore, plus four runners-up -- sophomore Kadeem Gill and seniors Joy Hanson, Marcus Perkins and Andy Chen.
The picnic dinner will include salads, grilled burgers, hot dogs, Brooklyn-style pizza, sausage with peppers, fish tacos and malt vinegar fries. Vegan burgers and tacos also will be available. Students with an active meal plan contract can swipe their TigerCard ID to receive tickets for the picnic dinner. Non-meal plan holders may use cash or Paw Points to purchase $2 tickets at the Frist Food Gallery on Thursday. Free desserts will include assorted ice cream novelties, cookies, fudge brownies, caramel corn and whole fruit served in the Food Gallery. Free beverages will be available throughout the afternoon.
The celebration continues Friday with the Tastes and Sounds of Princeton, a showcase of cuisines from Princeton-area restaurants and music, at 8 p.m. on the south lawn.
Fristfest Weekend concludes Saturday with the University Wind Ensemble's "Concert Under the Stars" on 1879 Green and a moonlight movie presentation of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" on the south lawn, both starting at 9 p.m. Free popcorn, ice cream and churros will be offered during the movie.

We are having an almost perfect day today.
* The temperature is between 70-72 degrees - that's perfect!
* The humidity/dewpoint is low - that's perfect!
* The sky is blue with not a cloud in sight - that's perfect!
* The left-over snow piles are melting quickly - that's perfect!
* The robins, blue jays, and cardinals are building nests - that's perfect!
* The mail delivery included no bills - that's perfect!
* My afternoon nap was nice - that's perfect!
The day's only imperfection is that there is no air movement outside. A perfect day would include a 10-12 mph south breeze to receive an "A+" grade. Today will only get an "A" grade. That's still a pretty good score.
At least snow isn't falling as it did a week ago. That would surely score a "D-". Maybe, just maybe, winter is over for a few months.

What is Primary Congenital Hypothyroidism?
Primary Congenital Hypothyroidism (PCH) is an endocrine condition present at birth that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's needs. Typically, the thyroid gland makes thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4), which are necessary for brain and central nervous system development as well as muscle and bone growth. These hormones help to maintain body temperature and assist with intestinal movements. They also keep the chemical changes which occur in various tissues of the body going at a constant rate.
When primary congenital hypothyroidism occurs, it is usually caused by an undeveloped thyroid gland. The gland is either too small, located in the wrong place, or was never formed. An undeveloped thyroid gland either makes small amounts of thyroid hormone or none at all. If primary congenital hypothyroidism is untreated, it can lead to severe mental retardation and growth retardation. Early identification and treatment of hypothyroidism will prevent severe mental retardation and other health problems.
What are the symptoms?
The characteristic features include puffy eyes, thick tongue, coarse facial features, a hoarse cry, skin mottling (spotting of different coloring on the skin), and lethargy (extreme drowsiness or sluggishness).
What is the treatment?
The treatment requires taking a daily pill of thyroid hormone called thyroxine. You should always consult your doctor regarding any treatment recommended.

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.85.3 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.95.1 for Android. These vulnerabilities, including CVE-2010-3654 referenced in Security Advisory APSA10-05, could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
Full Adobe advisory info here.
Affected software includes:
Microsoft has released a security advisory concerning a vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Full details here.
Visit Microsoft's page here to get full instructions. You can find the workarounds under the "Suggested Actions" twisty.
Over Halloween we saw the usual glut of malicious sites hijacking spooky search engine results. Today looks to bring some more search engine result hijacking opportunities for the bad guys.
Adobe have published details of a critical vulnerability the following applications.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.85.3 and earlier versions
Adobe Reader 9.4 and earlier 9.x versions
Adobe Acrobat 9.4 and earlier 9.x versions
The vulnerability could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
Mozilla have published an update for their Firefox browser that fixes a critical security issue that could potentially allow remote code execution.
Users are strongly recommended to update to the latest version. To update manually, select 'Check for Updates' from the Help menu then clicking on "CHeck for Updates"
More information about the updates is available here.
Fast turnaround on the fix, Mozilla - well done.
From the Mozilla blog:
Mozilla is aware of a critical vulnerability affecting Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.6 users. We have received reports from several security research firms that exploit code leveraging this vulnerability has been detected in the wild.
Windows is an attractive platform for the malware writers, in part, because of the sheer number of users. As Microsoft creep towards making their offerings more secure, applications are increasingly becoming the focus for vulnerability exploitation.
Like Windows, Adobe products are a default software choice for most users. The bad guys know this and realise that its profitable to scrutinise their applications for exploitable vulnerabilities and create malware to take advantage of the fact.
Firefox 3.6.11 and Thunderbird 3.15 have been released which include security updates for several critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited to run malicious code. Users are advised to update these applications.
Full details about the updates here:
Its a good idea to set these applications to check for updates automatically.
RealNetworks, Inc. have published product upgrades addressing vulnerabilities in RealPlayer SP 1.1.4 and earlier.
The vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Windows users of RealPlayer SP 1.1.4 and earlier are advised to upgrade to the latest version here
For more information, visit RealNetworks' security advisory here
So, you've just bought a new PC or installed a fresh version of Windows. The simple fact is it's not as secure as it could be.
It doesn't take much to tighten up your PC's defenses - even if your computer has been up and running for a while, it's not too late to carry out a security audit on your machine.
You probably wouldn't leave your house without checking the windows are closed and the doors are locked. Why would you do that? Well, to stop someone breaking in and stealing your stuff or to prevent people just walking in and spray painting the walls.
Microsoft have released a number of patches to fix recently reported vulnerabilities within Windows, Office and Internet Explorer. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to gain control of your computer or cause it to crash.

there are many different sizes of blocks, have you picked out a size yet?? 6inch, 8 or 9 inch some are even 12 inches or bigger. It sounds like you are wanting to paper piece it ??? or do you need the pattern on paper to follow the directions, as well as the size of strips you need to cut???
If you'll decide what size block you want and how many different fabric you want to use I'll make you up a list from my EQ program.
With this one you don't need to measure and cut pieces and you don't need a pattern. Just make the strips any width you want. Make the center square the same width as your strips. For example, if you use 2" strips then make your center a 2" square.
I did this one using this method. It was very quick and easy.
I have used the method from pam's post and it was easy. The trick is to make sure and turn the piece in the same direction every time. (You'll know if you go the wrong direction). I layed my stips out in order and it turned out as planned.
I went to your blog, I LOVE your Iris folding and your cards are beautiful!!!
As the directions say a few times... always make sure that the last piece that you sewed is towards your belly. After sewing on the last strip and cutting them apart, stack them next to the machine face down, which is how you are going to place them on the next strip, with the last strip towards you.
I only messed up once. Taking something apart is a quick lesson to not do that again.
well i have the 1 or 1 1/2 square i got from Rhonda here that could be my starting square if you dont advice me otherwise???
I m happy to have more than one size too, perhaps one starting with that little one and one starting using 4 inch

I am looking to request a Remington Shur Shot stock for my 20 ga. 870 and the only color that it comes in is BK. I am not sure whether to spray paint it camo, or to have it dipped.
Anyone have any recommendations on
1. If I want to have it camo dipped, who could I send it to?
2. If spray painting it, what type of paint would be the best to stick to plastic, not glare, and not scratch real easy?
Hoping that someone will have some tribal knowledge that they can share.

I just saw Michael Jackson's This Is It- an amazing film with a lot of great behind the scenes footage from Jackson's concert tour. I went to a matinee show this week after class and was a little surprised to find myself alone in the theatre. But there are definitely benefits to having a "private screening." I not only sang out loud to some classics, like "Thriller" and "Billie Jean" but I also stretched out into the aisles to practice my moon walk, spins and pelvic thrusts. The only time I paused was when the custodian walked through the movie. After he left, I started jamming again.
During the movie, I discovered that Jackson wrote an environmentally- conscious song called the "Earth Song." I always knew Jackson wrote socially-conscious music like "Man in the Mirror" and "We Are The World." However, I was pleasantly surprised to here him sing about drought and deforestation. I was puzzled that I had never heard the song but apparently the song was not initially released in America. Nevertheless, it remains Jackson's best selling song in Britain. Jackson was definitely an inconvenient truth, 13 years back.
Check out his epic music video!!!

I have moved my blog to http://www.seconix.com to allow more flexibility. Goodbye Advogato and thanks!
I have coded all the holidays on OPAL to improve SIP support and fix various problems. I have almost finished adding support for RFC3842 (Message Waiting Indication when you receive a Voicemail). I'm testing this with Asterisk, but unfortunately it is not always compliant. I have also added the ability to use several registrars at the same time. Those 2 new features do not exist yet in any SIP softphone under Linux.
I'll be speaking in Geilenkirchen at the Open Source Telephony Summit this week end. I hope the summit will be a good opportunity to progress on OPAL and on GnomeMeeting SIP. I also need to submit a GUADEC paper in time...FOSDEM
We have finally received the bios and pics for all speakers, we will start working on the definitive schedule soon. Don't forget that there is a GNOME developers' room with a specific schedule this year, so if you want to present a talk, it is not too late yetLife
Is there a life besides adding SIP support in GnomeMeeting?
The release went successfully and we got very few bug reports regarding the number of downloads. We will probably make a 1.2.1 release in a few days/weeks with better IPv6 support as there were a few problems.
GnomeMeeting SIP
Things are getting along nicely. I just finished implementing Call Forwarding in SIP and fixing a few problems in OPAL. I'm now spending most of my time on OPAL and not on GnomeMeeting, GnomeMeeting being only a way to test my changes. There are still many things left to do, but I'm progressing quickly. Having SIP support in GnomeMeeting is really exciting.
Nothing new here. Jonita is working all the time, so we don't have much time to spend together. Hopefully things will be better in January.
Finally! GnomeMeeting 1.2 has been released with ZeroConf support and Evolution integration. There are several other features that can be checked on the main website.
I can now concentrate full-time on the 2.00 branch that will support SIP as main protocol.
I received a patch that implements ZeroConf support into GnomeMeeting. It has been applied and will be available in the 1.2 release. That is very convenient to discover GnomeMeeting friends on your network. That was an interesting idea given by Alex here. I'm happy to see it was so fast to implement it.
GnomeMeeting and GAIM integration
Several people have showed an interest to see GnomeMeeting integrated with popular instant messengers. Julien Puydt had started coding a DBUS component for GnomeMeeting and that component will be available in the 1.2 release. He had also started creating a plugin for GAIM, so that GAIM Linux users can start videoconferences from their Instant Messenger. He tried to get help from GAIM developers, discussed with them and their answer was clear, they are not interested in that plugin and won't support it. <irony>Nice example of cooperation.</irony> That would have been great even if it wouldn't have been compatible with Windows clients, at least as long as GnomeMeeting doesn't support SIP.
GnomeMeeting and SIP
It's progressing!
I had two superb evenings last week with two of my best friends. We had two days off so we decided to spend the evenings together and it was really fun. The bad side is that it remembered me the time when I was still a student, unfortunately that will never happen again...
My birthday is coming, another nice opportunity to feel old. I think that once you leave university, time is flying away. I have two spare days on Thursday and Friday, I will unusually spend the evenings with two of my best friends instead of spending them coding on GnomeMeeting. That won't prevent me from coding the rest of the day.
I'm currently spending half of my time on OPAL, and the rest on GnomeMeeting itself. I have fixed a bug particularly hard to find this week-end and I was able to get my first SIP call today with GnomeMeeting. I'm also working on GnomeMeeting 1.2. It has been ready for a long time, but I will need to work on the manual and FAQ now, and integrate a new patch for ZeroConf integration. Imagine being in a meeting and being able to detect the GnomeMeeting users in your neighbourhood, that will be possible thanks to two french hackers who contributed a patch.
Julien has also contributed DBUS support to GnomeMeeting and has started working on a plugin for GAIM. That should allow total audio/video interaction with MSN Messenger in the near future, but it is also a nice new feature allowing to start videoconferences for GAIM users communicating with other GAIM users. However, the GAIM developers don't seem motivated at all to help him progressing.
Congrats to Novell for the release!
Nothing new. A bit tired due to the amount of work. Spent a superb evening with my university friends on Wednesday during the "24 heures of Louvain-La-Neuve". I'm in a period of doubt concerning GnomeMeeting. Should I continue or should I spend my spare time on something else?
Release 1.2 with Evolution-Data-Server support is ready. There are still a few bugs to fix, but the code and strings will soon be frozen. I think an official release could be ready around my birthday, mid-November. I started porting it to OPAL for SIP support, that is like writing a new GnomeMeeting. Is it worth it? I don't know, but I'll do it.
The schedule is nearly done, the hotel for speakers has been booked, contacts have been taken again with Linux Magazines... That will be the 5th FOSDEM edition if I remember correctly.
I have not blogged since a long time. It seems it has become a regular habit, but I will try to change that. There are many reasons to it, among others too few spare time. I went on holiday with Jonita in July, near Naples (Italy), it was very nice and I enjoyed it much. We are slowly preparing our wedding which will take place next year, and that's a lot of work. Actually, we have been together since 7 years (in one week).
More and more people talk about Skype. I agree their software is easy when it comes to firewall, but it is using a non-standard protocol and it is proprietary. That's funny to see how people accept to be emprisoned into a proprietary protocol, preventing communication with other software, for a software whose job is to ease communication. I think that's a big problem, especially when you see the quality of protocols like H.323, or SIP.
Preparing things for the 1.2 release which could not be ready in time for the GNOME 2.8 release. That release will have many internal code changes,as I wanted to prepare the way for the future SIP integration. I think the release should be ready in maximum one month if we don't drop ILS yet. After the release, I will invest all my efforts on GnomeMeeting and Opal hacking to get SIP ready and as much usable as H.323 currently is in GnomeMeeting. A few features could be missing though, but I think it could be pretty exciting if GnomeMeeting was the first Open Source software to support the 2 major standard protocols for VoIP, IP telephony and videoconferencing.
GnomeMeeting 1.2, and ffmpeg
There were initial plans to have video codecs support in OpenH323, those plans have been cancelled for now. That leaves 2 choices for GnomeMeeting :
* either we keep specific H.263 ffmpeg calls in GnomeMeeting's code and users have the possibility to use the (very good) H.263 codec
* we simply remove that code
In the first situation, we are taking the risk to have legal problems as we would be offering a direct way to use patented and thus possibly illegal code from GnomeMeeting. Having plugins would solve that problem, even if it would still be possible for users to use patented codecs. However, we wouldn't provide a direct way to do it. All this resulted in an interesting discussion (read: a flame), and I decided to take no risk and have no H.263 support for now.
Libre Software Meeting
I will be talking at the Libre Software Meeting in Bordeaux on Wednesday. They are announcing rain. Every time I'm going to a supposedly sunny place for a conference, I get rain instead (my last experience was GUADEC 2002 in Sevilla).
I'm going to Naples with Jonita next week. It will be short, but extremely good for both of us as we have worked a lot recently and simply need some rest.
I was interviewed earlier this week for my work on GnomeMeeting by the national radio in Finland thanks to Johnny Ström from Linuxvaasa.com. Of course, the interview was conducted using GnomeMeeting. Johnny told me they were pretty impressed by the product. It was fun!
I have worked this week on codec plugins for GnomeMeeting. All codecs are now plugins... That's the continuation of Craig and Julien's work on plugins for devices.

In its February 2012 issue, Baltimore Magazine has cited the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) as one of the best places to work in metropolitan Baltimore.

Space Telescope Science Institute Awarded for Being A "Best Place to Work" in Baltimore
In its February 2012 issue, Baltimore Magazine has cited the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) as one of the best places to work in metropolitan Baltimore.
Established in 1981, STScI is the science operation center for the Hubble Space Telescope and its planned successor the James Webb Space Telescope.
Baltimore Magazine gave high grades to STScI for its contributions to employee retirement plans and for offering tuition reimbursement, extremely flexible scheduling, and telecommuting opportunities.
The magazine editors added these kudos for STScI: "In addition to doing fascinating stuff related to space, they've pushed hard to recruit women and under-represented minorities into careers in science. STScI is a place where it's cool to be smart, . . .and their benefits are out of this world."
The article emphasizes that STScI employees are "passionate about what they do. Although STScI does some extremely serious work, it's the opposite of stuffy. Office doors are covered with family photographs and oddball humor. The dress code is über-casual and emphasizes personal expression."
"From the outset, we envisioned STScI to be the crown jewel for the entire astronomy community in terms of the quality of its work and the quality of its workplace. It is gratifying to see this so clearly recognized today," said William S. Smith, President of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., which operates STScI for NASA.
"Our job here is to explore and make astronomical discoveries every day. Everybody's contribution is welcomed and tremendously valued. Our staff is extraordinarily intelligent, hard working and dedicated. We bring the universe to the public," said Matt Mountain, STScI's director.
"This is a wonderful achievement for us that acknowledges all of the dedicated people who work here at STScI. This is a very special place in Baltimore," said STScI Human Resources Manager Sheryl Bruff.
The Institute's staff of 530 people is involved in science program selection, grant administration, planning, scheduling, and public engagement activities for NASA's Hubble and Webb Space Telescope flagship missions. STScI provides data archive and distribution for all of NASA's space missions that observe the universe in visible and ultraviolet light. STScI is located on the Homewood Campus of the Johns Hopkins University.
Based on submitted nominations, Baltimore Magazine conducted research to select 25 top companies in the metropolitan Baltimore that meet their selection criteria, which included quality of health benefits, contributions to retirement funds, financial stability, and, above all, availability of job openings. In addition, Baltimore Magazine looked for other factors that appeal to employees: dynamic leadership, a fun culture, or an especially meaningful mission.
"In short, we were looking for workplaces that employees really want to roll out of bed for, ones with a bright future, and with serious rewards, be they financial, in the form of perks, or intellectual gratification," wrote the editors.

No 3D this year and now no new movie in 2015. And who knows about the live action show. Is this what we have to look forward to now that Disney is driving?
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
It could still come out in 2015, but that always seemed a little soon anyway. I would rather they take the time to make sure everything is great instead of trying to hit a hard deadline (plus Disney might not want to have Star Wars Episode VII and Avengers 2 competing for money in the same year).
This is clumsy, Disney shouldn't have put such a specific date on this if they weren't willing to deliver, that's just bad public relations. They could have given a 2016 date and nobody would have batted an eyelash, now they look foolish AND like they're trying to kowtow to Abrams' busy schedule which is a point of weakness to overvalue a director that highly. ANH started filming only 14 months before it hit theaters without any budget or an established effects house to speed things along.

Intelligent discussion is definitely nice though
Two women alleged that they were raped by two men who promised they would marry them but later backed out, police said on Tuesday. Both the accused have been arrested. "Munna, a property dealer, was arrested Tuesday for allegedly raping a 20-year-old woman at Ambedkar Nagar in south Delhi," police said. The accused is a local Congress worker. The woman stays with her family in south Delhi's Madangiri. In the complaint, she told police that Munna had met her three years ago and started a physical relationship promising to marry her. She approached police after Munna refused to marry her and stopped meeting her. In another incident, a 23-year-old final year student of Delhi University alleged that her male friend raped her for several months. The accused Rahul, 25, was arrested from Shakarpur in east Delhi Monday after the student approached police. The victim told police Rahul said he would marry her and started having a physical relationship with her. She approached police after Rahul refused to marry.
California Guy sees roommate leave, then enters bedroom where roommate's GF is and pretends to be her BF, has sex = not rape
Massachusetts man impersonated Brother coming home from work early(3am) and sleeps with brother's wife- tried not guilty
I put the sensual in nonconsensual
What about broads that intentionally get knocked up to trap a guy, even telling her friends beforehand, that that is her intent?
would the guy still have had sex, but just have been more cautious about how he decided to finish? Not Rape
I think he should be off the hook for mandatory cs.

Amanda Elzy won the Class 4A state championship in boys basketball last season.
Cedric Brim's Shannon Red Raiders lost to the Panthers, 52-50, in the North state semifinals and missed qualifying for the state tournament.
Next year, if the Mississippi High School Activities Association expands the state tournament field from four teams to eight teams, a team suffering the fate of Brim's 2012 Red Raiders would advance as a No. 3 or No. 4 seed.
"It would give more teams and kids the opportunity to go the state tournament," Brim said. "Unfortunately, we didn't make it last year."
The MHSAA will vote in April on a proposal to increase the state basketball tournament field from four to eight teams, starting in 2014. The executive and legislative councils of the organization approved the proposed legislation this week.
Both branches must vote "yes" a second time for it to pass.
"We're going to take a real hard look at it," MHSAA executive director Don Hinton said. "We will look at a lot more info and detail the second time (in April) to see if it's a good proposal.
"We continue to look at all our sports and activities, our (playoff) formats and facilities. We want to enhance them all we can."
One concern the MHSAA has about expanding the tournament field is playing 48 first-round games, 24 semifinal games and 12 championship games over 12 days at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.
"This is pretty much playing all day," Hinton said of a 96-team, 12-day tournament. "You have to look at the availability of facilities or even one facility."
Another proposal that called for advancing eight teams in each class and playing the Class 1A and 2A state tournaments at different venue, was voted down last year.
Ingomar boys coach Jonathan Ashley believes 96 teams playing over 12 days in Jackson can work.
"Anything that increases the number of teams going is a good thing," he said. "They say you can't do it, playing the games straight through, but you can do it."
Prior to 2009, six teams – three each from the North and South – advanced to the tournament. The third seed qualified by winning the North/South consolation game. The North/South champion received a first-round bye.

New website intended for prospective applicants
Posted September 13, 2007; 12:00 p.m.
The Admission Office has launched a new website intended for prospective applicants, their families and guidance counselors.
"In building the site we addressed many of the key findings from the research we did last year," said Janet Rapelye, dean of admission. "We sought to engage high school students, guide them through the application process and dispel stereotypes about Princeton.
"The team that built the site developed pages to show prospective applicants (and their parents and guidance counselors) what distinguishes Princeton in its intellectual life and residential community," she said. "We also highlighted the unparalleled opportunities available to students and the creative environment on campus."
This approach included:
- Integrating admission and financial aid information and emphasizing the strengths of the University's "no loan" financial aid program;
- Prominently featuring faculty, student and recent alumni profiles;
- Highlighting important aspects of the Princeton experience;
- Dedicating pages to address the specific concerns of parents, guidance counselors, international applicants and home schooled students;
- Linking extensively to relevant pages within the greater University website; and
- Showcasing many new photos, which rotate automatically when one hits refresh.
The website project has been a collaborative effort involving the Admission Office, the Financial Aid Office, the Office of Information Technology (including key players from the New Media Center), the Office of Communications and mStoner, a web design company selected by the Admission Office to lead the project.
"The Admission Office also greatly appreciates the contributions of the faculty members, recent graduates and students whose profiles are featured on the site," Rapelye said.
She noted that plans for the future include adding more profiles and incorporating multimedia into the site.

fantastic Gigapan, congratutlations! I hope you will create more of these from summit-tops in the Alps!
The biggest challenge in this Gigapixel was the place. In the middle of the summit is a large transmission tower, and we had to take Photos from 2 locations. Here is a closeup of where we have taken the Picture: goo.gl/ReAhy
Didn't take as much time as expected ... finished in 12h 51m and 14s Rendering Machine: HP z210 with i7 CPU, 2x WD Velociraptor HDDs, OCZ RevoDrive3X2 PCI SSD Temporary data read/write during rendering: 1,54TB read / 1,24TB write
Congratulations for this big Gigapan! Can you tell us how many time you need for processed this image and the propierties of the computer used. Many thanks !
but it's also the cause of the missing sharpness at 100% zoom in ... :-(
+ Nikon AF-S TC-14E II - this makes different picture of course:)
+ Nikon AF-S TC-14E II is about the calculated size ... more or less ... still a bit inflated by Autopano ... normally I would limit the zoom to 0.9 / 0 .85 for sharpness - but not possible at Gigapan! :-(
It is famous Autopano interpolation then. If you have 500mm on d300 this gives you 1.81 degrees wide portrait oriented image angle. It covered by 2848 pixels of D300. This should give you 360/1.81*2848=566453 pixel wide, 360 image. But this image is 866000 wide. which give us suspicion that it is 1.5 time interpolated. But good gigapan anyway :)
This shot was done with a Nikon D300 + 500mm Sigma Lens on Gigapan Epic Pro. 2 shooting positions were needed as in the middle on this summit is a big radio mast ... stitched with Autopano Giga.
Interesting, which camera/lens did you use for this gigapan? Could you please share this info?

Global Rally Is Tinged With Caution
Stock-market investors started the new year with a bang, after a last-minute budget accord in Washington.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 308.41 points, to 13412.55, its best-ever start to a year. In percentage terms, the 2.35% gain was the best opening since 2009.
The rise came after Congress struck a deal to avoid a bundle of automatic tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff." Many economists had warned that those measures could throw the economy back into recession. The agreement sparked a relief rally in markets globally and sent investors out of havens such as Treasury bonds.
Still, an undercurrent of caution remained as corporate executives and investors expressed disappointment about the reduced scope of the deal, which props open the door for further budget wrangling in coming months. The stock market has many hurdles ahead, some investors warned, including economic data such as the jobs report on Friday.
"It's good that they struck a deal, but there's a harder fight in the next six to eight weeks, and it's tough to imagine the market doesn't stay choppy until we get past the debt-ceiling debate," said Richard England, portfolio manager for Atlanta Capital Management, which manages $14 billion in assets. "That doesn't mean the market has to go down in the interim, but maybe it doesn't go up much either."
Mr. England said he isn't making any major bullish or bearish bets amid the continued political uncertainty.
Earnings season begins next week, a period that could show that business was weak as companies held off amid uncertainty over whether a budget deal would pass. By late February or early March, lawmakers must reach agreement to raise the debt ceiling, enabling the government to keep borrowing. And spending cuts that were deferred this week will kick in on March 1 unless a new agreement is reached.
Ratings firms also signaled that the country's credit rating still remained under threat, and that more would need to be done to address the deficit.
Steven Hess, Moody's Investors Service's top U.S. analyst, said Wednesday that the fiscal-cliff package keeps the government debt burden at a high level that "maybe…isn't sufficient" to support Moody's triple-A rating. Mr. Hess said Moody's is waiting to assess the outcome of budget negotiations in coming months. Moody's rates the U.S. triple-A with a negative outlook.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in a report said the measures do "little to place the U.S.'s medium-term public finances on a more sustainable footing." S&P analysts have also said they are waiting to assess the outcome of debt-ceiling and other budget negotiations before taking a rating action. S&P cut its rating on the U.S. one notch to double-A-plus with a negative outlook in August 2011 amid political brinkmanship over raising the debt ceiling.
"This is a very small deal; they're truly kicking the can down the road," said Milton Ezrati, senior economist and market strategist at Lord Abbett in Jersey City, N.J. "This takes one threat off the table, and it's only natural to see some relief. But there's still a long way to go, and the market is aware of that."
Still, investors on Wednesday piled into stocks, in particular, small-capitalization shares. The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks soared 2.8% to a record. In Europe, Germany's DAX index marched to its highest level in five years, while India's stock market claimed a two-year high.
The Dow Jones Transportation Average, an index of 20 railroad, airline and shipping companies that is seen by some investors as a forerunner for the Dow industrials, advanced 2.4% to its highest level since July 2011.
Amid the rush into stocks, demand for Treasurys dropped, pushing the yield on the 10-year note up to 1.839%, the highest level since mid-September. Bond yields rise as prices fall.
The CBOE Market Volatility Index, the "fear gauge" known as the VIX, fell to its lowest level in five weeks.
In corporate news, Zipcar soared $3.94, or 48%, to $12.18, after the car-sharing-network operator agreed to be acquired by Avis Budget Group CAR -5.54% for about $500 million. Avis Budget rose 95 cents, or 4.8%, to 20.77.
Macy's fell 71 cents, or 1.8%, to 38.31, to lead a batch of retailers lower, one day ahead of same-store-sales figures for December. Consensus estimates have been slipping in recent days. Abercrombie & Fitch gave up 41 cents, or 0.9%, to 47.56, and Kohl's pulled back 77 cents, or 1.8%, to 42.21.
Magnum Hunter Resources gained 16 cents, or 4%, to 4.15, after the oil-and-gas company signed a joint operating agreement with closely held Eclipse Resources I, governing shale formations in Ohio.
Synergy Pharmaceuticals surged 95 cents, or 18%, to 6.21, after the company said a later-stage study of its chronic constipation treatment met its primary and key secondary goals.

20 Icons to 20 Venues Exhibition
The National Gallery of Australia wishes to announce that, in association with its 20th birthday celebrations, it will travel across Australia a selection of major iconic works from the Gallery's collection.
The Gallery intends to extend its birthday celebrations outside Canberra and take major works of art to every Australian State and Territory. The Gallery has selected a minimum of two galleries in each State and Territory and invited them to choose from a list of 20 works of art which work they wish to borrow to celebrate the opening of the National Gallery on 12 October 1982.
The exhibition will showcase and celebrate those works of art identified by metropolitan and regional galleries as iconic works in the history of collecting by the National Gallery, and at the same time demonstrate the diversity of the National Collection. This exhibition is the NGA's birthday gift to all Australians and demonstrates the Gallery's ongoing commitment to increase access to works of art. The exhibition will be the only opportunity for a number of Australians to view some of the major works acquired by the National Gallery.
The exhibition 20 Icons to 20 Venues will take major works, over the course of the next 12 months, to Perth, Bunbury and Kalgoorlie, WA; Port Lincoln, Adelaide and Mt Gambier, SA; Alice Springs and Darwin, NT; Cairns and Rockhampton, Qld; Armidale, Broken Hill and Albury, NSW; Mornington, Hamilton, Melbourne and Langwarrin, VIC; and Hobart and Launceston, Tas.
Each venue has selected their preferred iconic work, which include works such as Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly Series; Andy Warhol's screenprint of Elvis; Ruben's Self-portrait, Monet's Haystacks; Henri Matisse's The Abduction of Europa, De Kooning's Woman V, Lucian Freud's After Cézanne, Von Guérard's North-east View from the Northern top of Mount Kosciusko and Ferntree Gully in the Dandenong Ranges. Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles will travel to Melbourne in time for the launch of the refurbished National Gallery of Victoria building.
The National Gallery values its long standing relationship with regional and metropolitan galleries so much so as to entrust them with the care of the country's iconic works of art.

Eileen Zerba (left), the instructor of "Signals, Yardsticks and Tipping Points of Global Warming," helped freshman Laura Fernandez identify and prepare algae samples. Students in the freshman seminar took a fall break trip to Bermuda, enabling them to get a firsthand look at how climate change is expected to affect ocean systems.

Seminars set the tone for freshmen
In their first semester as Princeton students, freshmen this fall have been exploring issues of identity through movement and dance, evaluating truth in historical texts and examining the impact of global warming through fieldwork in the waters of Bermuda.
These are among the array of topics covered in this year's Freshman Seminar Program. The seminars stress close interaction with faculty members in small-group settings and an emphasis on inquiry that will set the course for the students' years at Princeton. The 75 seminars being offered this fall and spring are expected to enroll some 1,000 freshmen, including a number who have signed up for both semesters.
Almost universally, students say that their freshman seminar was one of their best academic experiences at Princeton and was the catalyst for some of their most enduring intellectual friendships with fellow students. Each seminar is hosted by a residential college. Class discussions often continue in informal settings both on and off campus, through meals, guest lectures, field trips and other activities.
The Dec. 10 issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin includes stories on three of this fall's freshman seminars.

Testing the waters in Bermuda for global warming
Posted December 6, 2007; 04:21 p.m.
From the Dec. 10, 2007, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
Snorkeling practice in DeNunzio Pool may be an unusual activity for a freshman seminar, unless the class is going to the Sargasso Sea.
Over fall break, 12 freshmen in the seminar "Signals, Yardsticks and Tipping Points of Global Warming" went to Bermuda to get a firsthand look at how climate change is expected to affect ocean systems. The trip allowed students to practice environmental science in the field and gather data they now are busy analyzing and writing up as a journal research paper.
"I was thrilled by the idea of snorkeling for lab," said freshman Hannah Barkley, who intends to major in ecology and evolutionary biology.
The seminar is being led by Eileen Zerba, a lecturer in ecology and evolutionary biology and the director of undergraduate laboratories at the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI). Designated as the Shelly and Michael Kassen '76 Freshman Seminar in the Life Sciences, the seminar is fully funded by the Kassen family and PEI.
For the Bermuda trip, Zerba designed a research project involving field and laboratory hands-on exercises to complement the activities on campus. The seminar includes lectures, class readings, discussions, group problem-solving projects and presentations, as well as film screenings on issues such as climate drivers of global warming, interconnections between the atmosphere and ocean, melting of continental ice caps and glaciers, and rising sea levels.
"The freshman seminar format offers a way to be creative and to get students excited about college," Zerba said. "Through this seminar they examine a special area of environmental science and learn problem-solving skills that they can take to their disciplines."
The seminar dovetails with a larger initiative at Princeton — known as the Grand Challenges Program — to offer experiential learning courses that share dominant environmental, political, social and engineering dimensions. Zerba said that Stephen Pacala, the Frederick D. Petrie Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and director of PEI, encouraged her to develop the seminar. Pacala is a driving force behind the Grand Challenges initiative and a frequent collaborator with Robert Socolow, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and an associated faculty member with PEI, who visited the seminar to tell students about his work that focuses on controlling carbon emissions.
Many of the freshmen who selected the seminar mentioned their interest in discovering for themselves the reality of global warming, which is surrounded by so much conflicting media hype.
"I was interested in taking this seminar because global warming is obviously one of the most prominent issues of our generation, yet I felt like I had such little exposure to the true science behind the theory," said freshman Matthew Salesi, who is considering majoring in molecular biology.
The students delved into learning about how future global warming could lead to long-term degradation or disappearance of many coral reefs by conducting a weeklong research project on coral bleaching at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS). The project was organized by Zerba in collaboration with scientists at BIOS, most notably Alex Amat, a marine science specialist for the Bermuda Ministry of Education, as well as Samantha de Putron and Ross Jones, associate research scientists. Princeton has an established partnership with BIOS, where four-week environmental science courses in geosciences and in ecology and evolutionary biology are offered in the summer. Joining Zerba from Princeton were Julie Viehweg, a doctoral student in chemistry, and Karen Kimm, a lab technician at PEI.
At BIOS, the freshmen studied the effects that elevating temperature and light have on yellow pencil coral, which is abundant in the coral reefs of Bermuda.
Freshman Jack Ackerman described their lab work: "In our lab, we subjected healthy samples of coral to conditions typically caused by global warming, particularly rising water temperatures. I found it surprising that it only took a very small rise in temperature to harm the coral specimens. Even with a rise of just a few degrees, many of our coral began to bleach and die."
Ackerman is interested in learning more about environmental policy and how governments respond to global warming issues as he continues his studies, perhaps as a major in politics or in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
The lab work at BIOS emphasized methods for monitoring the health of coral reef communities used by researchers in the field, while teaching about the ocean environment. These lessons included observing and classifying the coral, fish, algae and other biodiversity within delineated grids while snorkeling along reefs measured out by the scuba divers, Amat and Viehweg.
"It was so neat to see all the amazing colors of the reefs and the fish and to recognize the different things we had learned about," said freshman Laura Fernandez.
Working from a float, some students used a probe on a 50-meter cable to measure various parameters of the water surrounding the reefs, such as temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, to evaluate whether different conditions influence fish and coral community diversity and health.
Zerba ensured that the Bermuda trip schedule left time for the students to have fun. The Princeton group was especially fortunate in being able to observe the annual mating ritual of the bioluminescent fireworm, which takes place on the ocean's surface three days after a full moon. The students also had opportunities to explore various parts of the island; one highlight was snorkeling in caves in a nature reserve.
"With our snorkels and underwater lights we could see spiny lobsters on the cave floor," said Salesi. "It was really beautiful, and I probably won't get to see anything like it again for a long time."
