Welcome to OU Parking Services
The University of Oklahoma welcomes you to Parking Services. Our goal is to help you understand the ins and outs of parking on campus. We encourage you to apply for your permit online, appeal or pay a citation online and visit the FAQs section to get your questions answered. Follow these tips to avoid parking citations.
Get single-day permits for bad-weather days
Students, faculty and staff can purchase single-day parking permits for days when it's just too cold or inconvenient to walk or ride. Permits may be purchased in quantities of one to 10 for $4 each and are valid for the date scratched off. Faculty/staff permits can be used in faculty/staff lots. Student permits can be used in any student-permitted lot. Either permit is valid in multi-purpose lots.
Rate increases will help fund more parking
Parking permit rates will increase in steps over the next few years to help finance two multi-story parking structures on campus. Housing and commuter student rates go from $226 to $249 the next academic year (2016-2017). For faculty and staff, rates will increase from $256 to $282 for the calendar year, August 2016 to August 2017. For more information on the parking permit rate increase, click here (PDF).
LEFE spaces open on Research Campus
Parking & Transportation Services is committed to promoting university sustainability initiatives. Three Partners Place and Four Partners Place have received LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. As one of many strategies to this certification, parking spaces have been dedicated Low Emission, Fuel-Efficient (LEFE).
Only vehicles that had a green score of 45 and above listed on the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) may park in the university's LEFE parking spaces. OU has no influence on which cars make the list. Valid parking permits are required to park in any LEFE vehicle parking spaces on campus.

No need to be sheepish when making lamb cupcakes. Betty Crocker® cake, frosting and candies make it super fun and easy.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, just cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
An easy way to fill baking cups is to use an ice cream scoop. Use one that measures out about 1/4 cup batter if filling regular-size cups. Use one that measures out 1 heaping tablespoon batter if filling mini cups.

Last week our Congress passed the 2010 Appropriations bill, which takes some important steps in the right direction for New Mexicans. We applaud the bill's elimination of ineffective abstinence-
Congress' shift on funding for sex education makes sound fiscal sense. New Mexico ranks second in the country for teen births and third in the country for teen pregnancy. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, New Mexico taxpayers spent at least $86 million in 2004 alone on teen childbearing costs. Most of those costs are associated with negative consequences for the children of teen moms, such as Medicaid and SCHIP, child welfare, and lost tax revenue due to decreased earnings. Teen moms are less likely to seek prenatal care, and babies of teen moms are more likely to be low-birth weight. Sadly, 29 percent of children under 6 years old live in poverty in New Mexico.
Multiple studies have produced compelling evidence that students who participate in abstinence-only sex education neither stop nor delay sexual activity; yet, they are less prepared to prevent pregnancy and disease than those who attend comprehensive sex education programming. Between 1991 and 2004, New Mexicans have reduced our teen birth rate by 24 percent, and thereby reduced our associated tax burden an estimated $24 million in 2004 alone. This reduction is largely due to comprehensive sex education efforts and access to contraception, and is to be commended. But we can do better by our kids.
One in three teens receives no sex education at all before initiating sexual activity. And over 9 in 10 Americans have sex before marriage—and have for generations. Comprehensive sex education is not only fiscally responsible, but it is our moral imperative to prepare New Mexico's youth to make responsible choices.

National Security, Huh?
Dear Alibi,
2009—it's the year that America finally went nuts. Average Americans snuck into the White House, and National Security is threatened? Hey, scary, dangerous people go in and out of the White House all the time—from Robert McNamara to Henry Kissinger to Don Rumsfeld and Karl Rove. People who have damaged America's prosperity and national security pass unmolested, bow and a wave, VIPs on the guest list. If we want to protect the chairs in the Green Room then make sure that Average Americans don't get in. But if we want to protect America itself, we should keep everyone who's ever been on the White House VIP list the hell out. We have been conditioned by the media to trust and respect people in Armani suits and thousand-dollar loafers, when really they are the only ones who should scare the hell out of us. America got in trouble when the question "Hey, where did your money COME from?" became to be considered in poor taste. Sometimes and rarely, money comes from genuine ability, but usually, it's squeezed out of someone else's hide.

Which would be fine, really. There are lots of bad science fiction authors- one day I hope to be one myself. But Altered Carbon is such a fantastic book that I weep- weep!- to read how boiler-plate cyberpunk Market Forces is.
Really, the only new thing that it adds is the whole concept of "driving" for positions. This is not only totally silly (like; no extrapolation from the current world), but it's not even heavily featured until the end of the book.
It's like in the middle he thought, "This is a little nerdy", and decided to make a Tom Clancy / Robert Ludlum political thriller.

Posted: 08 November 2011 at 12:24am
Psychologists say that Smiling is a great way to make our body to function better and to improve our health, stress level, and our attractiveness; they say that smile can give others more than any physical matter.
Therefore, they believe that Smiling is just one fun way to live longer and they give us some consequences of smiling:
1. People are drawn to those who smile as there is an attraction factor to cheerful people.
2. Smiling Helps us Stay Positive because When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!".
3. Smiling makes us Seem Successful because smiling people appear more confident.
4. Smiling boosts our Immune System because it helps the immune system to work better.
Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him urges us to smile as he says in the prophetic hadith your smile for others is a charity[Hadith Sahih- by Al-Albany].

Borat and Bruno were exercises in ridiculousness, as UK comedian Sacha Baron Cohen invented a bizarre character to expose American prejudices and send up stereotypes in 'gotcha!' style setups.
But The Dictator is an altogether different beast: For a start, it has a proper script, with Cohen playing Admiral General Aladeen, an arrogant and excessive North African dictator who finds himself lost in New York and forced to work in an organic food store.
The character and story are deliberately controversial, a typical Cohen move. But what's not typical is that many of his jokes here fall flat. At their best, they range from mildly amusing (the helicopter "9/11" discussion) to the inane (the big breasted security guard).
It lacks the element of surprise that was the key to making Borat and Bruno so successful, meaning The Dictator flops about before landing somewhere around his lacklustre 2002 movie Ali G Indahouse.
Perhaps it's time for Cohen to take a few tips from General Aladeen's foray into organic foodstuffs and learn some new tricks. Otherwise his schtick is getting old.
Extras: Deleted and extended scenes, music video and an interview with Larry King.
Stars: 2/5

'Town hall meeting' planned on financial outlook
Posted February 23, 2009; 05:41 p.m.
A "town hall meeting," scheduled to provide a financial overview of the University and a look at how present economic conditions will affect the next fiscal year and beyond, is set for 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, in McCosh 10.
The session is open to all members of the University community.
Presentations will be made by Provost Christopher Eisgruber, Executive Vice President Mark Burstein, Vice President for Finance and Treasurer Carolyn Ainslie and Vice President for Human Resources Lianne Sullivan-Crowley. There also will be a question-and-answer period.
In a letter to the University community in January, President Shirley M. Tilghman detailed projections for how the economic turbulence will affect the University's operating budget, faculty and staff recruitment and compensation, and capital planning. Since then, administrators have scheduled meetings to provide additional information and to answer questions for a number of groups on campus, including the faculty, the department chairs, the Academic and Administrative Managers Group and the Council of the Princeton University Community.
Those who cannot attend the March 4 meeting are invited to visit a website that describes the cost-savings initiatives. Those with cost-saving ideas to share may send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Palin wolf-thinning project worked
posted at 8:35 am on November 12, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
During the campaign, some critics of Sarah Palin ridiculed her efforts to thin the wolf population by shooting them from helicopters, painting her as cruel and anti-nature. The Anchorage Daily News reports that the caribou population might dispute that. Thanks to the limitation of the predators, the survival rate of young caribou has dramatically increased:
Slaughtering wolves on the Alaska Peninsula appears to have had the desired effect — more caribou got a chance to live, according to biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
As ugly and as politically incorrect as the wolf killing might seem to some, they said, the helicopter gunning that took place earlier this year saved caribou, especially young caribou, from being eaten alive.
Fall surveys of the Southern Alaska Peninsula caribou herd completed in October found an average of 39 calves per 100 cows. That's a dramatic improvement from fall counts of only 1 calf per 100 cows in 2006 and 2007.
The state wildlife board needed to take dramatic action on behalf of the caribou in the southern herd. The population had dropped from 6,000 to 500. Wolves and bears had wiped out the offspring for too long, and left alone, the herd would have disappeared altogether.
Unfortunately, critics didn't bother to find out why Palin's administration thinned the wolf population by the most efficient manner available to them. Critics of responsible wildlife management seem to live in Cartoon World, where the wolf and the bear and the caribou all become best friends and have adventures together with the plucky little kid from the local village. In fact, the wolf and the bear will eat the caribou until there are none left, and would have the plucky little kid for dessert if they could.
The biggest irony, of course, is that the critics of drilling in ANWR like to invoke the caribou as a reason to block extraction of the vast oil resources in the region. The wolves present a far greater danger to caribou than drilling ever did, but I guess caribou are only valuable as a means to block drilling.

Last week, the National Council on Educating Black Children (NCEBC) hosted their annual convention at the Westin Crown Center Hotel. The NCEBC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reinstate academic rigor and relevant teaching, improve the assessment of such instruction, and prepare the African-American learner for effective participation in a competitive global society.
Approximately 600 educators from across the United States and over 250 middle and high school students from Greater Kansas City attended the NCEBC Convention. The event featured discussions by both local and national education experts.
The Local Show shares some excerpts from the panel discussion: "Creating a Sense of Urgency to Increase Black Male Achievement: A Call to Action." Among others, the panel included Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Chris Nicastro and the Council of Chief State School Officers Executive Director Gene Wilhoit. The NCEBC also recognized high achieving urban schools and individuals who have made significant contributions to urban education, and amongst the distinguished awardees was University Academy, founded by Tom Bloch, Lynn Brown, and Barnett and Shirley Helzberg.

Hope College senior Brandon Graham of Hudsonville (Hudsonville HS) not only excelled on the football gridiron, but is now being recognized for his performance in the classroom.
Graham has been named a GTE second team football Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA).
Announcement of the award comes during a week when Graham is to be honored for his football prowess as well.
On Wednesday (Dec. 10) he'll be honored as Michigan's NCAA Division III football player of the year by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
Graham is also a finalist for the Gagliardi Trophy as the nation's top Division III football player. The winner of that award will be announced Thursday (Dec. 11) in Salem, Virginia in conjunction with the Amos Alonzo Stagg national championship Division III game.
Graham, a kinesiology major with a grade point average of 3.40, becomes Hope's ninth football Academic All-American and the first since 1986. He joins a growing number of Hope student-athletes to achieve GTE Academic All-American recognition, a list that now totals 27 since 1979.
This season Graham led the Flying Dutchmen to a co-championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). He became the first Hope football player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons and the first player in modern day conference history to lead the league in rushing three times.
He was voted the most valuable offensive player in the MIAA and the Hope coaching staff presented him the Allen Kinney award for overall contribution to the football program.
Graham rewrote the Hope record book, finishing with 4,362 yards rushing and scoring 49 touchdowns. He rushed for 100 yards or more in every game this season and in 21 of 25 games as a starter.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William (Kathleen) Graham of Hudsonville.
Graham is the only MIAA athlete named a GTE football Academic All-American. Also honored on the second team is Ferris State senior linebacker Jeff Fisher.
Past football honorees from Hope include Craig Groendyk (1979), Greg Bekius (1980), Paul Damon (1980), Mark Spencer (1980 and 1981), Kurt Brinks (1982), Scott Jecmen (1984), Tim Chase (1986) and Dan Stid (1986).

Depends on what ya want, I use mine for my job and the "Review" the wife and I put out for the AWSC Inc , We would have really loved a Laser printer, but to get one that faxes, copies, and scans and prints, it would have been a lot of Money, so we opted, after much research, for the HP 4622 Officejet. Seems well made and the ink isn't a arm and a leg!

Didnt really say what you needed the printer for..
Ive found HP to load a file the size of TX upon install. Cannon always seemed finicky with auto updates etc.
Ive had the most luck with Kodak lately. They claim to also have the lowest cost per copy in the industry.. so they say.
Again, without knowing your needs.... the above comments may be useless. txt only, lots of color, photos, etc...
also, make sure you go wireless. No need to hard wire anymore.

I just got an HP Office Jet 6600. I am not a wize at PC's but retired this year and needed more functionality at home, also my old printer just stopped working. This printer was easy to set up, runs fast, holds lots of paper, and has added functions like faxing and scanning....
We have had our HP Office Jet 7310 all in one for a few years now and have yet to have any problems with it. Ours was actually overkill for our needs but it does print great color pics.
Currently have a canon MF6530. It is pretty old now and I may update to a color model, but I have had very good luck with it.
We have an HP. The replacement ink seems to be cheaper than other brands. If you print a lot the ink cost add up!

BlackBerry (BBRY) today held its annual shareholder meeting, during which CEO Thorsten Heins emphasized that despite disappointing fiscal Q1 results reported on June 28th, the company is only at the very beginning of a turnaround in its smartphone and enterprise business that will take time.
The stock is up 10 cents, or 1%, to close at $9.65.
Heins fielded an extensive panoply of questions from holders, including some who criticized the roll-out of the new BB10 models, beginning in February, the Q10 and the Z10. One holder asked why the company seemed to have so few trained reps at retail outlets of the carriers.
Heins, emphasizing the amount of time and money spent to train partners in various cities, pointed out that there is a culture among some carriers, including one prominent one in the U.S., to consistently endorse phones from "A fruit company," presenting a tough obstacle in the U.S. market, which he called the hardest of all markets.
On CNBC's "Closing Bell" this afternoon, Seem Mody noted the call featured a focus on the enterprise platform, a intention to reduce costs, to provide a strong balance sheet, and to return to profitability.
But Mody also remarked that Heins seemed not to dismiss calls of selling the company, quoting Heins as saying "Before you go into any strategic option, you have to create value."
"The value of the company 15 months ago was way less than it is today."
In my view, Heins's remarks on the call indicated an intention to press-on with the turnaround, rather than an inclination to sell part or all of the company. Heins did repeatedly stress that BlackBerry is open to partnerships.
Closing Bell hosts Bill Griffeth and Kelly Evans hosted two commenters, Rich Ross, a technical strategist with Auerbach Grayson, and Larry Fishelson, who is CEO of competitive local access carrier Dynalink. Both were skeptical the stock could trade higher than it does and predicted there was little chance of a turnaround.
Remarked Fishelson,
BlackBerry in its current form is dead. It cannot continue. It's been lapped. They've come out with a product that's only 5% of the entire smartphone biz. With $3.5 billion in assets, and a $5 billion market cap, they basically could go to $7, and become an asset sale. I don't think that'll happen; I think Microsoft (MSFT) will come and buy them in a take-under at $5 to $7.
Asked by Griffeth why Microsoft might buy the company, Fishelson continued,
Take the patents off the table. There's this enterprise user base. If they [Microsoft] take that from BlackBerry and roll it under them, they could roll that all under themselves and also possibly do something on te phone side because they [Microsoft's Windows Phone OS] are the third ecosystem now.
Ross predicted that with a breakdown in the stock from a former trading range, the stock will retrace lows of last fall, around $6, and might go "into the low single-digits." Ross emphasized the company has 2.9% global market share in smarpthones, calling it "pathetic," and noted the company is "Under attack" from Samsung Electronics (005930KS) and Apple (AAPL) even at the low end of smartphone pricing.
One of the first notes to emerge from the sell side today was from Anil Doradla of William Blair, who has a Market Perform rating on the stock:
While management highlighted that it did not rule out exploring strategic partnerships, we believe the company is focusing on investing in the business rather than breaking it up […] From our perspective, the commentary points to more near-term challenges. While the company is executing on its transformation—from high-level management to software platforms to supply chain—it is unclear if these changes are good enough for a sustainable turnaround. While we acknowledge that the new management team under Mr. Heins has worked hard in transforming the company, we wonder whether it is too little, too late.

"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." Henry Ford
It took me back when I read in an earlier post, "the war...I don't see it as failed policy". The war was a HUGE foreign policy blunder on many levels. Took valuable resources away from Afghanistan and the real war on terrorism, gave Al Qaeda a new cause and life, destabilized the region, increased distrusted of the U.S. not only in that part of the world, but across the globe. Not to mention the economic consequences the war has had on our economy. And no I don't feel any safer because of it, and that line from the administration "fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" is hogwash in regard to Iraq.
What its prominence suggest, and what all science confirms is that the dog is a creature of the nose- A. Horowitz.
The dems are now in full control, let's see if they can fix it or make it worse. I noticed the 9% is just slightly below congress approval rating.
It's all in the way you look at it.
This is so easy, Sarah Palin could pass this test!
Not in any particular order. . .
1. Tax cuts when we had a budget surplus. You can't cut taxes and spend. So Clinton's surplus became Bush's deficit.
2. Going to war for reasons he didn't know (it took him several tries before he could find a reason that was true).
3. Brownie's response to Katrina.
4. Signing statements.
5. Tapping people's phones.
6. Never vetoing a bill until the Democrats took over the house and senate.
7. Spending every weekend at Crawford (the President was never in town when a crisis hit).
8. Faith-based initiatives.
9. Letting Karl Rove slander good Americans who differed with Bush's policies.
10. Commuting the sentence of Scooter Libby.
11. Allowing his people to go to the bed of an ailing Attorney General to get his signature to commit crimes.
12. Torturing prisoners of war at Abu G.
13. Taking his eye off of Osama Bin Ladin.
14. Hiring Justice Department employees who made one's political ideology a major qualification for employment and continued employment.
15. Giving the German Prime Minister a back rub during a state meeting.
16. Going socialist when the banking industry began experiencing problems.
17. Making Dick Cheyney his VP.
I'm sure there are many others, but these are the first that came to mind.

Those sound a lot better than some of Nobama's plans. I'd take things like phone tapping over gun loss. I've got nothing to hide.
Dogs have many friends because they wag their tails, not their tongues.
I've followed this election closely, and have never heard Obama mention taking guns away. Can you enlighten me on this one?
In the priorities area, I'd rather lose my guns than my right to privacy (I don't have anything to hide either).
After 9-11 I don't believe the nation was attacked by terrorists.
He freed 2 nations, one from a dictator the other from an oppressive government.
After hurricane Katrina when the democrat mayor and governor failed to protect their citizens, his efforts evacuated a major city in approximately 7 days. He took the blame to give cover to the democrats. He provided so much cover for the failed mayor that he was re-elected. Amazing.
He attempted to fix Social Security but was stymied by left wing ideologues in congress that chose to put party over the nation.
He appointed two fine justices to the Supreme Court.
He worked with democrats to create no child left behind.
He created a prescription drug program.
He funded aids programs in Africa at the highest rates ever by an American president in an attempt to eradicate and treat the disease.
History will look kindly on President George W. Bush, in much the same way it looks kindly on President Harry Truman.
EDIT: Obama supports "gun control" which will take away a lot of our guns and he hasn't made a big deal about it because he knows how most of the country feels about taking away our guns. Doesn't mean that he hasn't mentioned it. Hell it was on his transition website for a while before he took it down

To steep yourself in the unique spiritual and mystical atmosphere of the Galilee, you should spend time not only in the Kabalah heartland of Safed, but take the beautiful drive to Meron about 15 miles to the northwest.
Here you will find the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, Mishnaic-era sage, rebel against Rome and author of the Zohar.
Rabbi Shimon's tomb is a magnet for Jewish pilgrims, especially on Lag Ba'omer when tens of thousands of people stream to Meron to pray and celebrate, some camping out for days.
Today, Meron is a moshav (cooperative community) named after the Talmudic village that stood here. Adjacent to the Rabbi Shimon's tomb is the burial cave of Rabbi Hillel the Elder, where miraculously pooling water is a source of blessing. The rock-cut Meron synagogue, with doorways facing Jerusalem, dates from the late third century CE.

ean Little's most recent book, The Sweetest one of all, is a picture book for very young children and their parents. In it, barnyard animal babies ask their mothers who they are and each of them is told that he or she is the sweetest one of all. The book ends with a human mother telling her little one the same thing. And getting a loving hug in response. The playful text should continue to delight both children and adults even after many readings.
The colourful illustrations by Marisol Sarrazin are endearing and filled with lively detail. Each will hold small readers spellbound.
Novel, Penguin, 1995, 207 Pages
Based on the Jean's mother's childhood. Winner of the IODE Violet Downie Award.
For as long as she can remember, Flora Gauld has lived in Taiwan, but now her family is going home to Canada, a place she has only seen in pictures.
At first she's a bit intimidated by all the cousins she meets in Kippen, Ontario, but after a while she begins to feel at home. Then her parents explain that they must go back to Taiwan, where they work as missionaries. Flora will be left behind with her aunt and uncle, whom she hardly knows, in yet another town. She is given the special responsibility of looking after her younger brother, William—but who will look after her?
With time, Flora is buoyed by the love of her Aunt Jen and her "adopted" family, but then the Great War begins, and Flora's world is turned upside down.
Based on the true story of Jean Little's remarkable mother, His Banner over Me brings a distant time and place to vivid life.

I don't know if Simon will thank me for letting the secret out, but I thought this was so cool.
Apparently, the armature was modelled in skencil somehow, and then the frames were generated (with a custom frame rate), exported to PNG with custom size, imported into the GIMP and turned into an animated GIF, all automatically.
Every so often you read an essay that holds a mirror up and makes you ask yourself hard questions. This essay on meeting behaviour did just that. Now I know the problem, I will do better.
Thanks to Erinn Clark for the link, and Hanna Wallach for starting the link trail (welcome to planet.gnome.org, Hanna!).
It's times like this I'd love to be able to doodle on webpages, but for the time being I'm stuck in Advogato with text only. Ah, well...
When you spend money, that money has a value to the economy which is more than what you spend. If you buy a shirt for $30, the shop owner uses that money to pay wages, buy groceries. So out of your $30 maybe $20 recirculates into the economy, and then that gets respent. Typically your $30 purchase is worth about $60 to the economy.
Imports are dead money. It's money that is getting taken out of the economy. When you buy an imported product in the supermarket, then a lot of what you pay is going to the importer, and from there going out of the country.
That's basic economics 101.
Now what happens when you buy computer software? Almost all of the computer software for sale worldwide is US produced, and has very high margins. That means when you spend $100 on Windows, $80 of that is probably going to leave the country. There is no multiplier feedback loop, where the money you spend goes towards improving your local economy, buying local products and generating local employment. It's dead money.
One of the things you get with free software is the freedom to choose your supplier. The sources are available, which means that a company supporting the product can sprout up anywhere. You don't need to go to the GNOME Foundation to get a GNOME desktop administered or supported, chances are there's some cocky college graduate living in your town who can do it for you, cheaper.
And this is where all the TCO arguments coming out of Redmond fall flat on their face. Let's say, for arguments sake, that installing and supporting GNOME is 20% more expensive overall for the first 5 years you use it. It's cheaper afterwards, but play along with me for a sec.
So when you spend $100M on Windows, $80M of that leaves the country. You get $20M working for the local economy. When you spend $120M supporting GNOME with local companies, $120M stays in the economy.
This isn't a question of percentage points, it's multiples we're talking about. $1 invested in free software by a government is an investment worth 5 or 6 times the equivalent investment in Windows.
You're spending more, but it's an investment in local industry, the local computer industry. It's an incentive for local graduates to stay in the country to earn a living, rather than moving to the US. It's a cheap way to kick-start your local knowledge economy.
When Jeff Waugh said we changed the rules, he's right. We've changed the way the world works. We've changed people's expectations. We've given people the freedom to choose.

Wow - what a wacky week. I am exhausted and exhilirated. I talked to so many people, got a bunch of things worked on, and heard about so many things that I wanted to jump up & scream about. Wise Nat wouldn't let me.
I was a little disappointed that the GIMP didn't make the list of mentoring projects, especially since we have a bunch of nice sized projects people could work on. Hopefully we'll make it in next time, and start exploiting some of he other opportunities that have come our way.
Everyone needs to go look at the spec for anonymous voting that vuntz and I came up with (with input from Seth, Brian, JRB and a bunch of other people). There are a bunch of elections we want to have this year, so it's important this gets done. And it's a nice simple project for someone intimidated by big old us.
Seeing the board was great, even if there was some tension over a couple of issues. We got a bunch of work done, and have come out of the week with a long list of action items. It'll be interesting to see how we fare against them in the coming weeks & months.
We also talked a bunch about marketing GNOME. It's really weird how a bunch of people have all been thinking the same things independently, and it needed getting everyone in the same place to see that. Three core ideas come out as most important:
To grow GNOME, we need to grow the buzz around GNOME, have more developers, more madness, more fun, more mindshare. If we do, 10x10 is easy :)
Watch out for some stuff over the coming months to start on that road, and start generating some buzz.
I have one regret. There were a heap of GIMP people at GUADEC and I got about 10 minutes to sit down and talk - and I didn't even get to talk much about the GIMP. Sorry mitch, Michael, Raphael, Tor, Sven, Roman, and all the others I've forgotten (who said GIMP developers didn't feel like part of GNOME?).
Yet more great news today - roozbeh and friends got their visas, and are arriving in Germany the day after tomorrow. Yay!
Never one to sit on his laurels when a problem presents itself, Luis Villa has created http://torrent.gnome.org - torrent files for the various internationalised versions of the LiveCD (not all online yet).
Pour les français, il y en a un ISO fr, et j'aide pour le "seed"er au départ, alors, allez-y, fonce sur http://torrent.gnome.org/gnome-livecd-2.10.0-i386-fr-1.iso.torrent et bouffez ma bande passante.
It was interesting to see Jeff pointing to some response over at KDE to an article which referred to a press release we sent out this week.
It's interesting to look at the nature of the relationship of GNOME and OSC to see what we're getting out of it, and how that relates to the claim that we're not going after MS market share any more.
Why are we interested in OSC? Here's a clip from the press release:
The move reflects the GNOME Foundation's support for the work of the OSC. Examples of such work include the OSC's involvement with the recent BECTA announcement concerning the future of Open Source solutions for UK schools, and involvement with the Open Source Academy initiative, which promotes adoption of Open Source software amongst the public sector and is funded by the Office Of The Deputy Prime Minister.
What do we get out of it? Here's a quote which Owen kindly provided for the release:
Says Owen Taylor, chairman of the board of directors of the GNOME Foundation, "The GNOME Foundation welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with the OSC and increase adoption of Free and Open Source Software in public administrations in Europe. We are excited about the value we can bring to governmental organisations through the OSC."
So where are we positioning ourselves? Clearly, we are positioning ourselves as the desktop environment of choice for public sector deployments of free software. That's hardly surprising - more and more public sector organisations are seeing not just cost savings, but also a release from vendor tie-in by moving to free software. And would anyone really expect us to reccommend anything other than GNOME for these migrations?
We have, after all, a track record in the sector to envy - working with LTSP, we have deployed GNOME on the desktop in the telecentros project in Sao Paolo with an estimated 400,000 users. We have worked with the education ministries of Andalucia and Extramadura ona deployment to an estimated 200,000 student users in schools.
With Canonical, we have a partner who is positioned clearly for the public sector, specifically in Africa. In Sun Microsystems, we have a partner who is working to install 1,000,000 GNOME desktops in China. There are notable deployments of GNOME in the public sector in the UK already.
So the real story here is that GNOME is fast becoming the de facto free software desktop for the public sector, and we are working with the OSC to make sure that GNOME is presented as an option to decision makers in that sector. That's taking market share from Microsoft, and positioning GNOME to take that share. Is that really surprising?
Aside from that, it's interesting to see journalists look for an angle - GNOME vs MS isn't a story (yet), GNOME vs KDE is. It was surprising to see someone read as much into it as they did, though. For the record, the relationship between KDE and GNOME has never been better.
Vu chez vuntz: Les gens de GNOME au RMLL (si il y en aura) ne savent peut être pas qu'il y a maintenant un LiveCD GNOME en Francais (ainsi que Anglais, Grec, Allemand et Espagnol).
Il y a auusi une fiche déscriptive en PDF qui est pas mal en francais sur le site de strider. Les mêmes sont également sur le site de Sebastian Biot ici.
Sebastian a aussi préparé des matériaux pour des posters qui peuvent servir comme des bases.
D'autres choses qui sont pas tout à fait parfaites, mais qui peuvent dépanner des gens faissant un stand sont dans le wiki.

For this atmospheric science major, the forecast is clear — James plans a meteorology career, starting at a local news station and making his way to The Weather Channel or "Good Morning America." For now, he delivers weather news on "Fast Track," Purdue's student-produced television news. Not one to limit his exposure, James was invited to join an elite choir when he was in second grade (but opted instead to play sports), has worked as a DJ for WCCR at Cary Quad and wouldn't mind, someday, hosting his own radio talk show.

Oppenheimer presents final President's Lecture
Posted February 25, 2010; 04:51 p.m.
Princeton geoscientist Michael Oppenheimer, a leading figure in climate change studies, will present the final talk in this year's President's Lecture Series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 4, in 101 Friend Center.
Oppenheimer will speak on "The Copenhagen Climate Summit in Context: What Came Before, What Happens Next?" While the December 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen has puzzled or disappointed some observers of the climate negotiation process, he will argue that careful analysis suggests progress was achieved toward establishing an effective international political and legal framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Oppenheimer is the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs and the director of the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He was involved with the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to raise awareness about climate change issues and solutions.
The President's Lecture Series, inaugurated in 2001, brings together faculty members from different disciplines to learn about the work others are doing in a variety of fields. Oppenheimer's talk will be webcast; viewing information will be available online.

Exotic and beautiful, gardenias are evergreen shrubs and small trees that produce aromatic white flowers. The leaves of gardenia shrubs are dark green and waxy or leathery, appearing opposite each other or in swirls of three or four. The flowers grow in small clusters, white or pale yellow and fragrant with petals that unfold, similar to the unfolding of a rose. Part of the coffee family, these shrubs and trees grow between two and eight feet tall and wide. Gardenias flower from roughly mid-spring to mid-summer, delivering their beautiful fragrance to the surrounding areas.
Swedish Botanist Carl Linnaeus named gardenia after Dr. Alexander Garden, a Scottish doctor and recreational botanist who lived during the 1700's. Said to be a symbol of feminine grace, the Victorian language of flowers cites presenting someone with a gardenia as saying you are lovely." The soft petals and delicate beauty of this flower make it easy to fall in love with every element of its blossom and foliage.
Roughly 200 species of gardenias now exist

Former MHA John Ottenheimer is the first candidate to file his nomination papers in the second go-around for the PC leadership race.
Ottenheimer, a representative for St. John's East from 1996 to 2007, filed his nomination papers today. A lawyer by trade, he served in former premier Danny Williams' cabinet as a minister for health, education and intergovernmental affairs.
Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador executive director Sharon Vokey confirmed today her office received the papers, adding Ottenheimer is the first potential candidate to do so since details for the new campaign were announced last Friday.
A new leadership race became a reality for the party after Corner Brook businessman Frank Coleman announced last Monday he was leaving politics because of a family matter.
Coleman was the only candidate remaining for the PC leadership at the time and set to become leader at an annual convention for the party next month.
Ottenheimer has not been confirmed as an official candidate. Vokey expects the process to credential Ottenheimer's nomination papers will take at least a day or two.
The deadline for nominations is July 7.

I just can't justify droping 1200+ on a PC when its ever changing tech and would be out of date compared to the new specs you can get in less than a year.
I work in comm with plenty if nerds and pc gamers. But one of guys was talking shite on us ps3/xbox guys talking about he just dropped 1500 on a pc that will be good for 3 years. One of our Sgt's goes so you are basically paying 500 bucks a year to game whie we drop 400 and thats it.
This post is so stupid it makes Baby Jesus cry
I am saying that you don't have to drop $1200+ to build a gaming PC. You can if you want but you don't have to.

considering the vast other things you use a PC for.

Throughout his life Constable was devoted to the work of Claude Lorrain (1604/5–1682) – from around 1800, when he first admired the paintings by Claude in Sir George Beaumont's collection (Beckett II, p. 24), to June 1836, a year before his death, when he praised 'the inimitable Claude' in a lecture he presented to the Royal Institution. He described him as 'the most perfect landscape painter the world ever saw', and declared that in Claude's landscape 'all is lovely – all amiable – all is amenity and repose; the calm sunshine of the heart' (Beckett, Discourses, pp. 52–53).
In Landscape with goatherd and goats, after Claude Constable painted a faithful copy of one of Claude's paintings in Beaumont's collection. He made the copy slightly larger than the original, but conveyed the spirit of Claude's original – following it closely in composition and colouring. However Constable adopted a personal approach, as Ursula Hoff has noted, when using impasto to paint the waterfall and in his use of tonal contrast and his texture of paint (U. Hoff, 'A Constable landscape after Claude', Art Gallery of New South Wales Quarterly, July 1962, p. 112).
Constable's early admiration for the Claude painting was noted in Joseph Farington's diary, where he recorded that, in around 1800, after studying the painting at Beaumont's London house, Constable had spoken of his enthusiasm for the work, which he referred to at different times as 'the little wood scene' and 'the little Grove': '[he] prefers the little wood scene of Claude to all others' (Farington, Diary IV, p. 1527).
On 19 October 1823 Constable expressed his intention to make this copy during his stay at Beaumont's country house, Coleorton, in Leicestershire, writing to John Fisher: 'If I can find time to copy the little Grove, by Claude Lorraine (evidently a study from nature), it will much help me' (Beckett VI, p. 139). On 2 November he had begun the painting and wrote again to Fisher:
I have likewise begun the little Grove by Claude – a noon day scene – which 'warms and cheers but which does not inflame or irritate' … [It] diffuses a life & breezy freshness into the recess of trees which make it enchanting (ibid., pp. 142–43).
On 5 November he mentioned the painting again when he wrote to his wife Maria:
I have a little Claude in hand, a grove scene of great beauty and I wish to make a nice copy from it to be usefull to me as long as I live. It contains almost all that I wish to do in landscape' (Beckett II, p. 295)
And on 26 November he wrote: 'My … little copy of Claude is only done this morning & it is beautifull & all wet so that I could hardly bring it with me' (ibid., p. 305).
Constable regarded his copies of Claude's work as 'great delights' that brought him closer to Claude. He saw them as lasting remembrances from which he could 'drink at again & again' (Beckett VI, pp. 71 and 142).
Sir George Beaumont gave Claude's original painting, Landscape with a goatherd and goats c.1636, to the National Gallery, London, in 1826.

John Williams is the greatest ever! I took all 6 Star Wars soundtracks and put the music all in order of the movies (well added ROTS to the file I'd already made by 2005 actually).
But I really enjoy listening to it. Up until this morning, I hadn't played it in a while, but turned it on like at 10 am. By almost 3pm it was on ANH when I just shut it down so I could take a nap. I'd been listening while I did house chores and what not.
But I just love Williams' work and needed to post that (again).

Ever needed someone to talk too? This is why psychotherapy is so helpful. You may be struggling with emotional pain, feelings of worthless, low self-esteem or just feeling overwhelmed and you do not wish to talk to your friends or family members about big issues. You fear that you may be judged or that you may not get the advice and or encouragement that you need. Your issues may stem from conflict at work, school or home and you may be thinking that there is no way to change your situation. I will tell you that there is HOPE. Counseling will provide you with the tools you need to not only fix your problems but allow you to become connected to your genuine self.

5001 S Miami Blvd, Suite 325, Durham, North Carolina 27703
My years of clinical training as a psychologist have provided the groundwork for expertise in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment using the most progressive therapies. Clients do best in therapy when they feel understood, gain awareness, and learn about practical solutions to reduce stress. My approach is to highlight how past experiences influence your current decisions, and to help my clients find healthier alternatives. Consequently, my clients report greater life satisfaction when they understand how emotions impact behavior and feel that they have the power to change. My professional satisfaction, as a psychologist, stems from collaborating with clients and being a part of their personal struggle and growth.

As a psychologist, I believe that it is critical to be aware of best practices and carefully evaluate what are best practices based upon the most recent research.

Who Uses The Writing Center?
The Writing Center is for writers. Students from freshmen year through graduate school, faculty members, and even the tutors themselves take advantage of this service. We are also able to accommodate those students with different learning abilities. Anyone who is interested in writing effectively, in any discipline or at any ability level, will find the Writing Center a useful tool. The service is free of charge.
Why Do People Come?
Every writer has a particular audience in mind for his or her writing. With the exception of diaries and other personal writing, someone will eventually read and have to understand what you write. Sometimes we think that the best kept secret is that writers need readers who will respond to their writing before it really counts. When your professors wrote their dissertations in their graduate programs, they had an advisor who worked with them to help them develop their ideas and to work through the many revisions that are necessary to produce a final text. Even professional writers have someone look over their work to make sure it is clear and concise before it is published. Here, the tutors provide an attentive, questioning audience, one that can collaborate with you to produce stronger pieces of writing.
What If English Isn't My First Language?
Many people who come to the Writing Center have not grown up speaking English. We make every effort to accommodate these students with weekly appointments.
What Expertise Do The Tutors Have?
The Center employs peer tutors who have shown expertise in their own writing and an interest in the diverse ways in which people learn. Most are undergraduates who are majoring in a variety of disciplines, such as English, Theater, Education, and Modern Languages. Every tutor begins work with the Center by attending ten weeks of workshops during his or her initial summer; usually tutors continue to participate in these workshops each summer thereafter, and staff development continues throughout the academic year.
What Will The Writing Center Do For Me?
The Center is a place to try out ideas before you begin writing, or to bring a draft before submitting it. We do not "fix" or "correct" students' papers. Each session is a time for discussion and collaboration. For students who find writing difficult, it is important to come to the Center on a regular basis in order to make meaningful progress. For all students, we provide the kind of reflective, focused audience every writer needs. We also have a wide variety of materials, ranging from colored markers to Legos and other 3-dimentional building tools, that are sometimes helpful for visual and/or kinetic learners. Students who learn better aurally are welcome to bring a tape recorder to their sessions. In short, because every person has a unique learning style, we realize that it is important to be familiar with a variety of approaches to writing.
But I'm Just A Bad Writer! Can The Writing Center Really Help Me?
Even professional writers were once novices, and many people are afraid of writing, thinking they are simply no good at it. But what is writing really? It is no more than thoughts and ideas converted to a physical form through ink and paper. It is a conversation that you have with your readers, completely independent of time or space. For instance, these words are typed on an October evening in 2005; you will read them at some point in the future, perhaps in your own home.
Your task as a writer, therefore, is to simply find the most concise way to transmit your thoughts to your audience. Talking with a tutor can help you determine if your writing is successful in doing this and if there are ways of improving it. If you are sensitive about your writing skills, there's no reason to worry. We're not here to judge you; we just want to hear what you have to say.
Will My Professor Know What We Talked About In A Session?
Nope, not unless you choose to tell him or her. All appointments are confidential. We do not report back to professors about what goes on in sessions, nor do we tell professors when their students make appointments with us. This service is for you. Your professor may suggest that you make an appointment with us, but it is ultimately you who must decide to do so.
What Happens In A Typical Session?
Each one is different, but usually a session begins with either the writer or the tutor reading the paper aloud in order for the tutor to hear the whole piece before beginning work on it, and in order for the writer to "hear" the piece in a new way. This practice is often the first step toward a student's recognition of areas that need work. Next, the tutor and writer determine what needs to be addressed first. For example, if there doesn't seem to be a main point in an essay, that's where the work begins. If the main point is well-established, then they might work on developing evidence, organizing, or even rethinking positions. All of this takes place through conversation, although it is not uncommon for a tutor to suggest that some writing be done during the session. Most editing is left until the other issues have been addressed; therefore, if you feel you have difficulties with grammar, it is important to leave enough time to schedule a second or even third appointment before submitting your paper.
Can I Bring In A Creative Or Personal Piece To Work On?
Of course! Academic writing is not the only kind that requires an audience. Many people come to the Writing Center with poetry, letters, stories, and many other types of creative or personal projects.
How Can I Make An Appointment?
Appointments begin on the hour and last up to 50 minutes. It is best to call at least two days in advance to get a time that's convenient for you. We do accept walk-ins, but we cannot guarantee that a tutor will be available at any given time. The phone number for the appointment desk is (401) 456-8141
If you must cancel an appointment, we ask that you call ahead so that we can give the slot to another student. If you are going to be late, please let us know. Otherwise, we will assume you won't be coming, and we will give your appointment to someone else. Fridays are reserved for walk-in sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so no appointment is necessary.
Is There Anything Special Happening At The Writing Center?
We sell snacks, instant hot drinks, and juice all day long at the Center. The profits are used to fund workshops and to send the tutors to regional and national conferences. These activities help us to improve our services to you.

Last night, the Costume Institute Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art brought out countless celebrities vying for the title of "most cutting edge fashion plate." Unfortunately for some, this meant being poured into avant-garde contraptions not suitable for wear by humans. Who managed to do all right, and who was a victim of their stylist's passive aggressive acting out? Click through for Crushable's picks for best and worst.
Worst Dressed
As you can see up top, Elizabeth Banks looked fairly awful. It seems like she was trying to channel her Hunger Games character Effie Trinket, but that type of thing really only works if you go full costume with it. The mixed prints are a bit loud, but they don't bother me as much as the unfortunate accents. The "capelet," for instance, looks like one of those plastic cones you put on cats to keep them from licking their wounds after surgery. And the dust ruffle-looking thing around her waist looks like it's meant to air out her vagina and/or keep people from getting too close to it. Here it is from the side:
You can tell by her pained smile that she kind of knows she cocked up.
Best Dressed
As for best dressed, I must say I was drawn to the people who resisted the urge to wear the emperor's new clothes and kept things simple with clean lines and flattering colors. Also: those who wore clothes that suited their personalities and not the whims of some maniacal stylist. There were many people who exemplified this (Kristen Bell, Greta Gerwig and Jessica Alba, to name a few), but the one who most impressed me was Solange Knowles:
The gown, the clutch, the purse, the hair…everything's working together in harmony as beautiful as her voice! I will admit to some bias here, as I think Solange is The Coolest, but I think she's a great example of what people got right this year. The color looks really nice on her, which is impressive, as that color is yellow. She didn't overdo it on the makeup and accessories. And when was the last time you saw a beautiful, glamorous woman rocking an afro this hard on the red carpet? She's so fucking perfect I can't even look at her anymore.

"And so the legend begins . . . " reads the closing title card of Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, the hundredth or so version of the immortal outlaw's tale. That's a hell of a thing to tell us after the 131 minutes of this bloated, tedious, ridiculous farrago of cockeyed history and half-baked narrative clichés. A pointless, uninspired rehash, it begs contemporary relevance by making what might be half-hearted gestures at Tea Party discontent with repeated bromides condemning taxation and demanding the right to bear arrows and poach the king's deer.
The taxes go not to health care and free rides for illegal immigrants, however, but to paying for foreign wars — i.e., the vainglorious crusading against the Muslims of the day. Beaten and broke after 10 years of futile war, Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston) is heading home, ransacking and pillaging Normandy castles along the way to raise some cash and perhaps also because director Scott has some siege engines left over from Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Among Richard's battle-weary troops is Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) and Robin's raffish companions Allan A'Dayle (Alan Doyle), Will Scarlett (Scott Grimes), and Little John (Kevin Durand). "The more the merrier!" quoth Robin, and that's about all we hear about these characters — who for many fans of the story are, along with Friar Tuck (Mark Addy), its heart and soul. Well, maybe in the sequel.
First, though, we've got to get some things out of the way. Like the pusillanimous treachery of Prince John (Oscar Isaac). And the cold-blooded treachery of Godfrey (Mark Strong). Plus a brewing rebellion by Northern gentry, an early draft of the Magna Carta, and an imaginary 12th-century French invasion of Dover Beach — a kind of reverse D-Day landing complete with period Higgins boats.
And so Robin returns to England bearing, for reasons too tortuous to explain, the armor and identity of Sir Robert Loxley, late retainer to King Richard. Back at Loxley's manor in Nottingham, meanwhile, all is not well. Like everyone else, the Loxleys have been bled dry by those damn taxes, and Loxley's widow, Marion (Cate Blanchett), is reduced to tending her own horses while his blind father, Walter (Max von Sydow, wearing the same jerkin as in The Seventh Seal), dodders about.
In order to protect the property, they all pretend that Robin is indeed Robert. And so Robin and the bored viewer are thrust into a tiresome and fictitious Plantagenet intrigue that's little leavened by the half-hearted romance sputtering between Robin and Marion. (Crowe and Blanchett aren't as long in the tooth as Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn in 1976's Robin and Marian, but they're hardly the Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland of 1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood, either.)
I admit, we don't look to movies for history lessons. But given that this is Ridley Scott, you'd expect at least a few rousing action scenes and some intelligent battle sequences instead of the namby-pamby CGI offerings on hand here. And though it goes without saying that when the legend becomes fact, you film the legend, this time waster is neither. Maybe I'm just bummed out because one of the first books I remember reading with delight was Howard Pyle's 1883 collection of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. Here, there isn't even a single suit of Lincoln green.
Editor's Note: In a previous version of this article, the film Kingdom of Heaven was misidentified as The Kingdom of God.
