Woman gets life for killing ex-husband
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:18 p.m.
WEST PALM BEACH — A South Florida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting her ex-husband.
A Palm Beach County judge sentenced 66-year-old Donna Horwitz on Thursday after a jury found her guilty of first-degree murder.
The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/V8HLW7 ) reports that Horwitz and her husband Lanny Horwitz had divorced, remarried and divorced again in the decade leading up to his September 2011 murder. The two had moved back in together, trying to reconcile, when authorities say Donna Horwitz used two revolvers to shoot her husband 10 times in their bathroom. Prosecutors say Horwitz believed her husband was involved with another woman.
A defense attorney argued that the couple's son, Radley, was responsible for the murder. The father and son had a rocky relationship, and the son stood to gain $500,000 from the father's life insurance.

Someone know of any stores that sell Benelli components for repairing a Super Black Eagle 1 12 ga shotgun?
I have an ejector plate that broke off which does does allow me to eject a spent shell out of the chamber cleanly after shooting. Brought it to a gunsmith and found out the news. Unfortunately, he did not have any Benelli parts.
Just looking to get a store or 2 near Renton, WA or if someone has one to sell close to Seattle area.
Thanks in advance!

The days of violence which swept northern areas of Nigeria apparently have come to a quiet, if not controversial conclusion. Armed forces crushed the militant Boko Haram sect with severity and decisiveness. Governors of Nigeria met to discuss the situation which has left hundreds dead and scores wounded. They issued a public statement "we ned to be bold, courageous and decisive on matters that affect the security of lives and property of the citizens."
governor Ali Sheriff who heads the state of Bono that a major cause of violence was the presence of clerics who preached violence in mosques and schools. He announced formation of a "preaching board" which would "ascertain that only qualified and reliable clerics would be allowed to preach in mosques and other places."
Perhaps, the clerics are symptoms rather than causes of the riots. Failure on the part of Nigeria's educational system and business community to create a spirit of multiculturalism has caused people to cluster into Christian and Muslim groups. Most probably, security forces killed the leader of the sect, but, if the past holds true there will be other clerics preaching hate. Confront the causes which lead people to hate is the only way to curb their power.

The power of XSLT is its ability to change the structure or format of any content that can be converted to XML. Java and XSLT shows you how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. After an introduction to XSLT, the book focuses on applying transformations in some real-world scenarios, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices.Java and XSLT discusses several common XSLT processors and the TRAX API, paying special attention to performance issues. Although there's a brief tutorial introduction to the XSLT language, the primary focus of the book isn't on learning XSLT or developing stylesheets; it's on making practical use of transformations in Java code.The book covers:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animals on the cover of Java and XSLT are ermines, also known as stoats or short-tailed weasels. Mustela erminea are found around the world between the Arctic Circle and approximately 40° north latitude. Their body length, not including tail, ranges from 7 to 12 inches, with proportionately sized tails from 3 to 6 inches long. They weigh between 1.5 and 11.5 ounces. Males are, on average, larger than females.Ermines can both swim and climb trees, and though they live in such diverse habitats as grasslands, tundra, and deep forests, they tend to prefer rocky or brushy areas. They are carnivores and eat mostly rodents, but they also enjoy small rabbits and birds, fish, bugs, and eggs. (Whether they take their eggs sunny-side-up or over-easy is still a matter of great debate.)Female ermines give birth to only one litter per year. The mating season is in the late spring, but after fertilization, the ermine embryos stop developing and do not implant in the uterus for several months. Once implantation occurs, gestation takes only about a month, and the babies are born in the spring of the year following fertilization.Ermines can live up to eight years, but their lifespan in the wild tends to be only a year or less. Their main killer is starvation, dependent as they are on fluctuating rodent populations, but they are also preyed upon by hawks, owls, and humans.Ermine fur, which is harvested from both M. erminea and its cousin, M. frenata, the long-tailed weasel, is specifically the fur of an ermine in winter. At this time of year, their fur is stark white except for a small black tip on the tail, leading to the blackflecked, white-fur robes favored by stylish monarchs all over the world. Matt Hutchinson was the production editor and copyeditor for Java and XSLT. Susan Carlson Greene proofread the book, and Leanne Soylemez and Emily Quill provided quality control. John Bickelhaupt wrote the index. James Carter provided production assistance.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout, based on a series design by Nancy Priest. Neil Walls converted the files from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker 5.5.6 using tools created by Mike Sierra. The heading font is Bitstream Bodoni, the text font is ITC New Baskerville, and the code font is Constant Willison.

Comments about oreilly Java and XSLT:
I am new to XML. However, this book helps me to rapidly understand XML, XSLT, the connection between XML & Java. Nice book!!ps. I suggest the author to put all book classes in a jar file, just like any other o'reilly books do.

I wanted to make Java applications talk to humans - through their browsers, PDAs and other client software - and Java and XSLT really showed me how to do it. It's easy to understand, even for a Java novice, and well laid out... you will learn a lot from this book.Using XSLT and Servlets also solves the age-old browser-compatibility problem in a simple and effective way, and Chapters 8 and 10 give a good pointer towards this - though a specific example servlet to do it would be nice, maybe that would be taking the fun out of learning and experiementing!Terry Johnson, Europaeum, University of Oxford

Greetings to all fellow Mando's and Star Wars fans. Huge Starwars fan and Most important Big Jango/Boba along with the Mandalorians Anyways I've been wanting to Make my own Helmet along with armor for a very long time, and I was wondering if I can get some help along everything, I do not have much Money to spend on a Master rep Helm, and I'm not that crafty with tools. but I am good at Building and Computering, I'm a Computer tech. My birthday is on the 30th and I've seen some people did a good job with Customizing the Hasbro Boba fett Helmet, Ive been wanting to get that but it bothered me very much how the visor was all messed up. but after researching and I've seen people fix it and make there own out if it.
I would apperciate if I can get anyones help or a lot of help in the progress of this helmet. I'm willing to talk on Skype or on phone or Teamspeak what so ever to get voice help as well. and need a few ideas and all. Unfortunaly I do have to keep in mind I dont have a lot of money so I was thinking it might help/cheaper to get some supplies and the hasbro boba fett helmet to make the helm unless some one knows something cheaper to do.
Now I have a few ideas when I finally make the helmet, I want to get that RC Car and mod it so I can make the Range launcher up and down. and put a Intercom inside using maybe a CB Radio input or what ever. and I was maybe thinking if its possible to put some Lighting on the side of the helmet for Night time. (Still thinking if I should or not)
I do like to let everyone know That i've made a group back around 2005 or so. Of my own Tribe of Mandalorians Called "Mando Wolves" I had a backround PDF of the Story of the making but lost in transaction.. but I will be making it again. if anyone is interested.
I might be new the fourm but I am not a little kid or new to Starwars. I might not be the nerdiest but I have the heart!
(22 years old on September 30th! Anyones help would be a great gift towards me. even with supplies not to sound beggy.. lol..)
Thank you and please Post ASAP if you can help.


text: The House Ways and Means budget proposal On April 13, the House Ways and Means Committee released its version of the FY12 budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The $30.5 billion proposal is less than last year's budget because the FY11 budget relied on federal stimulus funds helped the state provide needed funding for essential services. Federal funds will not be available for this budget. The budget gap between maintaining current services and expected revenues is nearly $2 billion. In order to present a balanced budget that is required by law, House Ways and Means, like the Governor, proposes to make significant cuts to local aid, higher education and safety net programs. Overall funding levels for education are reduced as a result of the loss of the federal stimulus funds. The loss of federal monies that helped protect higher education last year is not made up by state dollars this year. This results in a proposed cut of 7.5 percent ($61.5 million) to college campus accounts. Chapter 70 spending for preK-12 is slightly more than in FY11, while local aid is cut by 7 percent. Early education and most education grant programs are proposed to be level-funded. Municipal Health Insurance The House Ways and Means budget includes a section that would effectively eliminate collective bargaining for municipal health insurance. Outside section 46 would give municipalities the ability to unilaterally design health insurance plans, including co-pays, deductibles and other plan design features and strips unions of virtually any role in the process to provide savings to our cities and towns. More on MTA's response to the MHI provisions PreK-12 Education The House Ways and Means proposal for funding Chapter 70, Local Aid and most grant programs is essentially the same as that proposed by the Governor in House 1. Chapter 70 – State Aid to Local School Districts Chapter 70 is reduced from current FY11 funding levels ($4.47 to $3.99 billion, a decrease of $82 million) as a result of the loss of $221 million in federal stimulus money. The state's share of Chapter 70 in FY11 was $3.85 billion. For FY12, state funding in the proposal sees an increase of $139 million. This is the same increase as proposed by the Governor in House 1. While this is a cut in Chapter 70 funds available for our local schools, this funding level is sufficient to keep all school districts at the required foundation spending level. Over half of the districts still have unspent federal Education Jobs money available that can be used at the beginning of FY12. In many cases, this will prevent major cuts. Other Local Aid – Unrestricted General Government Aid In addition to Chapter 70 funds, cities and towns receive state funds through Local Aid. In some communities, as much as 50 percent of this other local aid helps pay for public schools. The House Ways and Means proposal funds local aid to cities and towns (Unrestricted General Government Local Aid) at $834 million. This is a $65 million decrease from FY11, a 7 percent cut for each city and town. This is the same as the Governor proposed. PreK-12 Education Grant Programs Special Education Circuit Breaker - House Ways and Means funds the Special Education Circuit Breaker program at $213 million, an $80 million increase from the current FY11 budget. This increase is the same as the Governor's. Regional School Transportation – funding at FY11 level of $40.5 million. Full Day Kindergarten – funding at FY11 level of $22.9 million. Expanded Learning Time – funding at FY11 level of $13.9 million. METCO - House Ways and Means proposes a $1.5 million cut to METCO (an 8.5 percent cut from $17.6 to $16.1 million). The Governor had proposed to level-fund this program. The Governor proposed small increases for several education programs, including the School Breakfast Program, MCAS Low-Scoring Support and Targeted Intervention for Underperforming Schools, while House Ways and Means proposes to level-fund them. Early Education and Care House Ways and Means proposes to slightly increase funding ($2.4 million) over the FY11 budget for Early Education and Care ($512.6 million). Higher Education Campus Line Items Beginning in FY12, all campuses are allowed to retain tuition from out-of-state students. House Ways and Means proposes to fund each campus at a level which, with assumed tuition retention, holds each campus at its FY11 state appropriation. However, this is a cut of about 7.5 percent, or $61.5 million, since federal stimulus monies were used in FY11 to fund higher education, but these funds will not be available in FY12. This proposed funding level is essentially the same as the Governor's House 1 proposal. Scholarship Program Proposed to be funded at $86.5 million, down $3 million from the current FY11 budget and $1.8 million from the Governor's House 1. Employee Benefits Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) – House Ways and Means proposal provides for a 3% increase on the first $12,000 in pension benefits for retired state employees.

Thief makes off with NH deputy's gun, uniform
Deputy Nina Camelio contacted police last Thursday about 6 p.m. after she came out of Gold's Gym, 89 Dow St., and discovered a passenger window on her personal car shattered and the black duffel bag and backpack missing.
Camelio's .40 caliber Sig Sauer 229 service weapon and uniform were in the bag, while the backpack contained personal items, police said.
The duffel bag was on the floor behind the driver's seat in the locked car, which was parked in the lot for about an hour while Camelio was at the gym.
Information concerning the theft was entered into NCIC (National Crime Information Center,) according to Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
Hillsborough County Sheriff James Hardy said they are doing all they can to assist in the investigation of the theft, and Camelio was reissued the equipment that was stolen.

Benik Afobe admits he is "loving every minute" of his stay in the Far East - and hopes to use the time to stake a claim for first-team football.
The 19-year-old is with Arsène Wenger's squad in Malaysia as part of Arsenal's 2012 Tour, presented by Emirates, and has been overwhelmed by the reaction of the fans.
Now he wants to show them what he can do on the pitch when the visitors take on a Malaysia XI.
"I'm loving every minute of it, coming out to the Far East is not an everyday thing," Afobe told Arsenal.com.
"It is my first time in the Far East and the boys were telling me beforehand that the fans are unbelievable and so loud.
"I thought, 'Nah, it can't be anything I haven't heard before' but it is amazing. It makes you realise how huge Arsenal Football Club is when you come out to somewhere like Asia and the fans all love you.
"There are only two out-and-out recognised centre forwards on the trip [himself and Marouane Chamakh] so it is an opportunity for me. I will just train hard and do my best, and hopefully this will be a good experience for me."

KDE SC 4.4.1 Review
Up until very recently, I was using a Mandriva 2010 installation to satiate my KDE thirst, but not being able to try the latest KDE 4.4.1 was bugging me. After trying to find a way to update my Mandriva box, I didn't find anything that seemed easy or reliable.
I knew that Fedora, with its edge approach to new software packages, would allow me to give it a try. On top of that, I wanted to test another USB installation (I already tested Ubuntu 9.10 and was loving the results). Long story short, I am typing these lines from Fedora 12 running KDE 4.4.1, all installed on TDK 16GB USB drive.
When I tried Fedora12 a few months back, it was sporting the latest KDE desktop (I believe 4.3.4). Therefore, knowing how Fedora was with that older version would help in isolating my testing so I could focus on SC4.4.1.
The looks
KDE developers have always put big efforts on this department, and this version continues to deliver. This is obviously very subjective, but I am liking what I am seeing. I have to admit I was hoping for a bigger step forward, but it is a nice progression over KDE 4.3.x. Some new menus have been added, some features have been rearranged and a few seem to have been removed.
KDE 4.4.1 on Fedora 12. Now, those are some good looking widgets!
I think it all looks smoother, the new Air theme is a nice departure from Oxigen, and controls, scroll bars and buttons look better than ever. The new widget addition menu is quite impressive, albeit a bit sloppy in functionality. When dragging a widget to the desktop or the panel, I had some strange results. Sometimes it would do nothing and would take it a few tries before it would work. Some new functionality has been added to a few widgets, they mostly look better as well.
This new menu makes it easier to add widgets (mostly).
The system tray also seems to sport a tighter integration. The applet dealing with removable drives also gets some new functionality and a refined look. Unfortunately, it suffers from a problem that is often there in KDE: It is anything but intuitive. When plugging in a new USB drive, a neat little dialog shows that there are a few actions available for that device. In other words, there is more than one application that could be used to deal with the contents in that drive. The problem is that only clicking on a very small icon on the left hand side of the menu displays the options available.
The menu dealing with removable drives looks good, but is far from intuitive
Fonts look sharper than in previous versions, but I still think GNOME has better rendering.
Font rendering detail on the (almost unchanged) main menu here.
Dolphin also looks very much the same. I still feel the KDE file manager of choice is a bit bloated and slow, but cannot say I count myself among those considering Konqueror a better alternative.
Dolphin on KDE SC 4.4.1
Historically, KDE has suffered from slower performance when compared to GNOME. This issue has been addressed in late releases and performance keeps improving release after release. This last release is no exception. Having said so and while the gap keeps shrinking, I still feel GNOME performs better.
RELIABILITY (or lack of...)
KDE SC 4.4.1 is proudly presented as the result of resolving several hundred bugs, and it shows. It does feel more solid than 4.3.x, but I hear it still is far from being as solid as 3.x, and even farther from GNOME.
In just a few days I have got a few bugs, more than I've had in a full month under GNOME. Applications that get closed for no reason, sessions that close without notice... I haven't really been able to reproduce those crashes consistently, so I can't consider or log them as bugs, but the overall feel is sloppy. In fact, an element that was particularly buggy was the compiz integration. This was not really a problem for me under 4.3.x, so not sure what went wrong here. In this case, several key combinations simply are "forgotten" after the session is closed, while others just don't work for me
All in all, reliability is still a miss in KDE as far as I am concerned.
If you like KDE applications, the good news is that they keep getting better. Kmail, K3b, Amarok, Ark... You name it, it's better. In fact, I downloaded the latest version of Amarok and I must say I very much like the path it's following.
Amarok gets a new splash screen.
Amarok menus look better integrated.
Chromium gets very good integration and seems to even work better than under GNOME.
I started using KDE right when version 4 was released. Back then, there was a general consensus that there was still a lot of work pending. This desktop environment has come a long way since then, improving in all aspects. Having said so, I still think there are several things that are missing or are simply way too complicated for new users. Here are some of my main concerns/issues with KDE:
1.- Custom keyboard shortcuts missing. I love how easy it is to create custom keyboard shortcuts in GNOME. If I want to assign a new key combination in order to open the browser of choice, it is very simple. Likewise, if I installed an alternative web browser, I can set up a new custom key combination in 2 seconds. I am yet to find how this can be achieved under KDE.
2.- Panel launcher functionality. This one is a big drawback, I think. GNOME makes things really simple and clear here. If you want to add a new shortcut to your panel, you can right click on any of the menu items and do so, or just drag and drop. Similarly, you can simply right click on the panel and add a shortcut. In KDE this is ridiculously cumbersome. The only option I found involves adding a widget (Quicklaunch) to the panel. This widget has limited functionality:
- You can only add launchers by right-clicking and choosing the right option
- Customizing launcher icons is anything but intuitive
- Once you choose how many icons should be displayed, you can only change that from the Quicklaunch settings, it does not dynamically adjust as you keep adding icons.
I think one could argue that KDE offers alternative ways to achieve the similar functionality, but panel shortcuts are very widely accepted, even expected. Most Windows users are used to this functionality, which became so popular for a reason. I think it would be smart to make this feature clearer, easier and more intuitive in future versions.
3.- System tray. Any Windows user has seen how ridiculously crowded the system tray can get when too many applications land their icons there. GNOME has made an effort to be very strict about this, limiting the amount of icons that can populate the system tray. KDE, in turn, takes a similar approach to Windows, allowing many applications to dock under the system tray. The result is as bad as in the Microsoft operating system.
NOTE: By the way, it is about time the icons in this system tray are reworked. They are way old, low resolution and low quality, especially for a desktop manager so focused on the looks!
4.- Not taking advantage of multiple desktops. Once again back to a Windows analogy: What happens to the panel when you have 10 or more applications open at the same time? Well, once again it becomes overcrowded. Docked windows become small squares that cannot even show the window title. Some Windows users increase the panel height so twice as many docked windows fit in. While KDE does that for you, I really cannot understand why suffering from this when multiple desktops can be used?
GNOME works around this efficiently. Each desktop panel is only populated by the corresponding docked windows. As a result, if you have 3 applications open on desktop 1, and another 3 applications open on desktop 2, you will only see 3 docked windows on each panel. KDE would show 6 docked windows regardless of the desktop they are in (What tha...?).
5.- Very inconsistent icon themes. Once you get used to how easily you can change icon themes in GNOME and how well it works, it feels like a big step backwards when you try in on KDE. To begin with, the applet allowing to download icon themes from external sources (mostly kde-look.org) fails too often, for many of the icon themes displayed are simply not available.
When you get to download one of the ones available, it works so badly it is not even funny. Default folder icons are never updated correctly (you seem to be stuck with the Oxygen default), the system tray icons almost always remain untouched, and the main menu randomly updates some icons while leaving others unchanged.
Once again, I think this is important because KDE has been all about the looks and being able to customize things to the last pixel.
KDE SC 4.4.1 is definitely a step forward, one in the right direction, but I feel it still suffers from issues that have been there for way too long. If KDE plans to ever take the world as the best desktop manager available, it will have to bring its functionality to "human beings" and become flexible where it really matters.
Having said so, I very much encourage users using previous KDE versions to give SC 4.4.1 a try. If you are comfortable using KDE already, SC 4.4.1 will surely give you many reasons to be happy!
For those who have never used KDE, by all means give it a go. Even if some edges could benefit from a bit of polishing, KDE is still a great desktop manager. Most importantly, it really shows strong and continuous improvement, so things can only get better.

Hi. I love KDE, but like you, I must admit there are still some rough edges. The overall feel does seem to lack some quality control, and crashes and glitchiness are easy to come by. In this regard, I feel KDE has actually taken a step back from the 4.3 series.ReplyDelete
Despite all of this, I still prefer it over GNOME, so I will just keep contributing bug reports or whatever I can do to help the developers polish things up a bit.
Regarding the multiple desktops, you can change the behavior easily enough. Right-click in the window-selector area and select "Task Manager Settings". Then check the box below under "Filters" called "Only show tasks from the current desktop."
Well maybe I have a few answers for you:ReplyDelete
to 1) well you can set a shortcut to special application via the kmenueditor. Go to your application of choice and click on the tab "advanced" and then you can apply a shortcut for this app
to 2) of course you can drag&drop application from the starter menu to panel and even to the quicklaunch widget
to 3) you can select, whether an icon should be always, auto or never visible in the system tray settings, so its not as bad as in windows. But generally your right its a little bit overcrowed.
to 4) right click on the task manager > settings and you will find the option "only show tasks from current desktop". I think that will fill the gap.
to 5) Full Ack. Icon managment is weird in kde. But btw download often fails because the icon packages are not hosted on kde-look directly, but on third-party sides like rapidshare or private webspace. this is known limitation of the downloader (not just icons but e.g. wallpapers as well) and will not be fixed, because it cant be solved finally.
Hope this will help and dont forget to rummage a little bit in the settings, kde is a little bit shy :-)
In response to #2, I think you have to "unlock widgets" before you can drag-and drop applications on your panel, but it should work.ReplyDelete
A very good and fair review.ReplyDelete
I am using Arch Linux with KDE SC 4 since KDE SC 4.3.x and never experienced applications terminating unexpectedly or sessions restarting without any warnings.
Maybe it's a Fedora issue?
The only bugs I've noticed so far in KDE SC 4.4.x is that Plasma crashes from time to time (Not more than 2-3 times/week. I use some custom widgets, so maybe this is why) and that the process monitor won't show proper CPU/RAM usage, etc, but I think that is an Arch problem since it started happening in a recent system update.
Thanks for all your comments and help, your suggestions were great!ReplyDelete
@mr bumpy: Thanks! I managed to get the docked windows filtered by desktop, but not with the option you mentioned. The one that worked for me was "Only show tasks from current screen". The drag & drop thingy didn't work, not even with widgets unlocked.
@Sebastian: Thank you! I finally managed to get the shortcut I needed to open Konsole, that was great! As for the icon theme and download feature, I understand what you are saying, it makes sense. What I don't understand is why they are keeping it there if they know for certain it will never work reliably! As far as I am concerned, things would be better off with a simple dialog which recommended visiting kde-look.org, or something along those lines.
@znurre: Cheers, glad you liked my review! I am not sure if it could be down to Fedora. Constantine should be rock solid by know, it's not like it was just released, so that's a strange one. Like I said, though, I could not reproduce it consistently, they are more like "one offs" that seem to appear more often than I am used to in Linux.
In general, even with the help from these wonderful posts, I think my point stands. Ease of use and intuitiveness are still immature in KDE.
- If keyboard shortcuts get a section under System settings, why bury the creation of new app shortcuts under a difficult to spot Kmenu editor tab?
- Similarly, even if it had worked for me, which it didn't, why would you need to keep widgets unlocked to drag and drop an application shortcut into the panel? I would think widgets and shortcuts should be treated differently.
I won't go on about it, but I think these are just a few examples of things that could easily throw back new comers, which is a shame considering the great work put in other areas.
Once again, thanks everyone for your comments and feedback.
Good review.ReplyDelete
Right click on the menu icon, select "menu edit". Find your application and select advanced, here you can add your keyboard shortcut.
It's possible to drag'n'drop a shortcut from the launcher to the panel. (I keep doing it by accident on my macbook, because the touchpad is weird at times)
I see your point, but I also don't see a good solusion for the problem.
When I need to access the running applications and services on my desktop, I want quick access to them. I also don't want them to take up space in my taskbar.
KDEs solution is pretty much what Windows does, autohide them. I only have four that is visible.
The show-only-application-on-this-dekstop is one of the things I disable when I encounter it.
I find it more than annoying, that I can't see an application is running because it's not on the desktop my on. It usually result in me getting confused, as to where my application has disappeared too and where my data is.
You can easily get this behavior in KDE, I think it's just right click on the taskbar and going into settings for it. Or do as sebastian suggested.

@m_abs: Thanks for the tips, I have learnt a few nice tricks from yours and other posts here! Glad you liked the review!ReplyDelete
There is an application like kappfinder with which you can easily find any application missing that is not listed in the kmenu.ReplyDelete
@p j: Thanks for your comments!ReplyDelete
I have been playing around with options and have found a couple simple ways to improve performance:
1.- Set SELinux to "permissive", or even disable it. Of course, do this at your own risk, but I don't see a huge security risk in it. On the other hand, the performance gain is quite noticeable.
2.- Use the menu classic "outfit". Maybe not as fancy, but a lot more responsive. I also tweaked its settings and added the few applications I use to favorites. Then I hid the applications group, making the menu lighter and quicker.
Good review... but... why can I drag icons from the K menu to my panel? When I drag them to the desktop I get a launcher, and when I drag them to a Folder View I get a nice menu asking me if I want to copy the link file or if I want to create a link (KDE 4.4.3)ReplyDelete
BTW, if you want to really run a KDE desktop under Fedora, I'd advice you that in Constantine the Fedora people totally screwed it up (because they wanted KDE 4.4 into RHEL 6, I don't blame them ;)). The right way to have a great KDE running is to use the KDE-Red Hat repo. Copy this file into /etc/yum.repos.d:ReplyDelete
The release of KDE 4.0 was met with a mixed reception. While early adopters were tolerant of the lack of finish for some of its new features, the release was widely criticized because of a lack of stability and its "beta" quality.ReplyDelete

I think that this blog is very good because talk about "KDE SC 4.4.1 Review"....ReplyDelete
This is an amazing blog post. Thanks very much for sharing this information, Keep it up.ReplyDelete
Hey, this is cool stuff, something worth my time. Good attempt. Quiet interesting way of narrating interesting stuff. I think you have spent a lot of time in researching as some of the facts were just so shocking and never heard of. I am speechless…ReplyDelete

However, if V/M win I think D/W try to make it through the next quad to win in 2022. That being said: D/W V/M P/B (french team) C/L (italians) Z/G (Germans) Kinda lost when it comes to dance, sorry Anyways this is completely speculative, I have no "inside information" this is just my opinion. I'm sure at least a good portion of this list will retire, and it will certainly be sad to see them go!

Turkey Production Survey
Survey: TURKEY HUNTING POPULATION INDEX SURVEY
The purpose of the turkey production-population index study is to provide an accurate means by which the Department of Natural Resources can evaluate statewide and regional wild turkey production during the breeding season and population levels during the hunting season. DNR uses this information to determine production and population trends, management needs, and where and how to direct management efforts. It also provides Georgia hunters with a forecast of the prospects for the spring gobbler season.
This project consists of two components: A) turkey production index survey and B) turkey hunting population index survey. The two separate surveys used in this project have remained basically unchanged since the study was started at the beginning of the poult-rearing season in 1978. The production survey provides data on young turkeys seen during the nesting and rearing season, and the population survey provides a measure of the population existing during the hunting season. Data have shown a strong correlation between observed production and hunting season populations.The correlation between the production indices and population indices are used in evaluating annual production and populations and in making comparisons for trends. These data provide sound biological information useful in monitoring and regulating Georgia's turkey hunting season.
A): TURKEY PRODUCTION SURVEY: The turkey production survey is conducted during the months of June, July and August. During these months, cooperators record data related to all turkey broods and hens, with or without broods, that are observed in the course of routine duties. No special efforts are made to locate turkeys for this survey. The average number of poults seen per observer is used as an index to production. Data are compiled on a statewide and physiographic region basis. Cooperators currently include field personnel of the Wildlife Resources Divsion. However, we are interested in expanding the breadth of this data. So, if you would like to participate in this survey please use this form (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).
B): TURKEY HUNTING POPULATION INDEX SURVEY: The turkey hunting population index survey is conducted during the spring turkey hunting season. This data is provided by hunter cooperators. Specific information is recorded about each hunting trip including the date, hours hunted, county or physiographic region hunted, number of turkeys seen, and number of gobblers heard. Kill information is also requested, but is optional. The number of turkeys observed per unit of hunting effort provide an index of the hunting season population. Data are compiled on a statewide and physiographic region basis. If you would like to participate, please use this form (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

I have two helmets I plan to start prepping for paint and a rubber blaster that all need some filling and sanding with bondo or some other filler. What brand or type do you use and where is the best place to acquire it?
I have two helmets I plan to start prepping for paint and a rubber blaster that all need some filling and sanding with bondo or some other filler. What brand or type do you use and where is the best place to acquire it?
I use bondo spot putty for small stuff...
Same here. You can thin it down with acetone/nail polish remover too. If you thin it down enough, it becomes almost paintable with a brush. Perfect for small fill jobs! Use an acetone-soaked rag or q-tip to clean up and wipe away excess filler on your part that needs filling before it dries, to cut down on the amount of sanding you'd normally need to do.
You can find it in the auto parts section of hardware stores, or any DIY auto parts retailer.
I agree with the above posts for the small stuff. But for larger items, I loathe bondo. I found Evercoat Metal Glaze. It's similar to Bondo but much smoother and easier to sand. I find the work time a bit better. And I never get the 'cottage cheese' effect with the Evercoat. It costs more but for me there is no going back.
I have to go to automotive paint shops to find it. Rather than the familiar pink it's a light blue. They have a web site too. Evercoat. Videos on youtube as well. Or check your phone book for a local shop near you. And good luck.
what grade of sand paper do you guys use to smooth it out after filling?
For the sandpaper question, I personally like to have the following on hand. Which one I use depends on how much filler I've used. Lots of filler, I start with a heavier grade paper. If I just used a small, thin bit of filler, I start with a lighter grade.
I will use the Evercoat to fill the big stuff. Then sand it down with 80 grit through maybe 220. Quick coat of primer to see how the repair looks. At this stage, I switch to the glazing putty. Sand with 180 or 220 and then primer again. If it looks good, I do a wet sand before final paint. This is a general guide.
In the shop I like to have on hand the following grades:
60 grit - very course to take down 'way too much' filler
80 grit - course but not quite a chisel effect
120 grit - Not quite feathering stage but levels the filler out
180 grit - Blending the filler to the original surface
220 grit - Getting it almost ready for primer
280 grit - final feathering before wet sanding
300 and lighter grit for wet sanding before final paint job.
cool. Thanks for the info. guess i should do a little shopping.
I built a little box with a series of shelves to help keep the papers organized. But it occurred to me that a trip to STAPLES to buy a wire organizer for manila folders might keep your sandpaper stock organized. Just a thought.
Happy Modelling.
i always go to an autozone or similar place for my bondo, as ive never seen it anywhere else. as for the ranges of sandpaper you can pretty much find it at any home improvement/ hardware store. if youre looking to do details and fine edges in the bondo though id definitely invest in a dremel tool, i got a corded one a few years ago lowes for right around 40 dollars.

The deaths of two homeless men in the Paris area have ignited controversy over the number of people sleeping on the streets of Paris. Temperatures hit below zero most days of this week which undoubtedly was a factor in the impact upon the allegedly 200,000 homeless people in France. The pressure group, Les Morts de la Rue, claim at least 200 people between 18-80 had died prematurely while sleeping rough in France in France this year. The group organized a tent city demonstration earlier in the week that was broken up by French police while the government claimed no homeless lives were facing threat of death. The French government's embarrassment was accentuated when it was discovered that one of the most senior officials responsible for dealing with the homeless, Jean-Paul Bolufer, lived in a government subsidized apartment and paid only one-fourth the normal rent for such a living accommodation. He claimed to be the object of a "witch hunt" when Le Canard Enchaine revealed his situation and argued hundreds of other wealthy people lived in government subsidized houses.
A protest group, Les Enfants de Don Quichote, argues that of promised 27,000 new lodgings only 13,000 have ever been provided. The issue has become the subject of competing aspirants for the position of mayor of Paris with each claiming the other is indifferent to the plight of the homeless. This undoubtedly is a wonderful French Christmas story. It fits right in with the birth of Christ.

When a written report is received by an administrator alleging a possible, potential, or apparent violation of the Ethics Policy it shall be forwarded to the Office of General Counsel. The administrator shall include a brief statement detailing the possible violation, the date the written report was received from the employee, any immediate action taken by the administrator, and their recommendation, if any, for future action in regards to the allegation(s). The administrator's brief shall be signed and dated.
IV. Fact Finding
If the general counsel, after consultation with the appropriate senior administrator(s), determines that a possible violation of the policy has occurred, the general counsel will appoint a disinterested party/committee to investigate the facts of the statement and will notify the subject of the investigation, within 10 (ten) days, unless notification would limit the effectiveness of the investigation. The disinterested party/committee will present a copy of those relevant facts found to the general counsel who will notify the appropriate senior administrator(s) as to whether a violation has occurred.
V. Enforcement
If it is determined by the general counsel that a violation of the "Ethics Policy" has taken place, a written finding will be presented to the appropriate senior administrator(s) for appropriate action. Action will be based on the extent of the violation and the position held by the employee. Action will be consistent with the Board of Governors Policy Manual; UCM Procedures and Guidelines, "Progressive Discipline Procedures"; Faculty Guide; or Memorandum of Understanding between The University of Central Missouri and Missouri Educations Workers Local No. 1/AFSCME, Local 577 whichever applies as determined by the Office of General Counsel.
VI. Appeal Process
Appeals will be provided per applicable existing avenues for grievance or appeal. Allegations against the president will be reported to the Board of Governors. The president's decision, or the board's decision in a case of allegations against the president, will be final.
* If an employee is unsure of their appropriate administrator they may refer to the University of Central Missouri's organizational chart or contact the Office of General Counsel for assistance.

TRENTON, N.J. — Junior Garrett Cortright allowed one hit and one unearned run in a dominant complete-game performance to lead the No. 3 seed Canisius baseball team past No. 2 seed Marist College 2-1 in the first round of the 2013 MAAC Championship at ARM & HAMMER Park on Thursday evening. With the win, the Golden Griffins improve to 40-15 on the season, reaching the 40-win mark for the second time in program history.
For the second consecutive season and third time in four seasons, Canisius advances to the winners' bracket game in the four-team, double-elimination tournament. The Golden Griffins will face the winner of Rider-Siena at 7 p.m. on Friday evening.
Cortright (11-3) allowed one hit and walked none while hitting two batters, needing only 98 pitches. The junior struck out seven to win for the second time in three career MAAC Championship starts. Cortright has a 1.37 ERA in 26.1 postseason innings, walking two and striking out 17.
Marist (27-23-1) got its only hit of the game with two outs in the first inning, a double to the fence over the head of junior Ryan Coppinger in right field by senior Mike Orefice. Four Marist players reached the rest of the game, two on Canisius fielding errors and two on hit by pitch from Cortright on 0-2 pitches. The Red Foxes took the lead in the second when Steve Laurino was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a throwing error by sophomore Connor Panas.
The first eight Canisius batters of the game were retired by Marist starter Chris Bielak, but Canisius worked deep into counts to increase Bielak's pitch count. The Griffs tied the game in the fifth, the first of four straight innings where Canisius had the first two batters of the inning reach base. Junior Jose Torralba reached on an error when Bielak dropped a throw from second baseman Joey Aiola. After sophomore Mike Krische was hit by a pitch, a grounder from junior Ronnie Bernick advanced each runner into scoring position. A walk to Coppinger loaded the bases and a walk to junior Jesse Kelso forced home a run and tied the game at 1-1.
The Griffs took the lead in the next inning, starting with a leadoff single through the hole on the left side from senior Brooklyn Foster. After Panas drew a walk, a sacrifice bunt from senior Christian Segar advanced the runners into scoring position. Torralba was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Bielak got a grounder to Zach Shank at short from Krische. The sophomore was able to beat out the relay throw and negate the double play, allowing Foster to score and put the Griffs up 2-1.
Canisius ran itself out of potential big innings in the seventh and eighth innings. Coppinger led off the seventh with a double and a walk to Kelso put two runners on base and chase Bielak who threw 121 pitches in six innings. Junior Jimmy Luppens dropped down a bunt, but Coppinger was thrown out at third for the first out of the inning. Before the next pitch, Kelso was picked off at second base for the second out but Luppens advanced to second base. Foster then singled to center field, but Luppens was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. In the eighth, Panas led off and was hit by a pitch with Segar drawing a walk to get two runners on again. A bunt from Torralba led to Panas being thrown out at third. After Krische flew out to center field, Segar was thrown out at third base trying to advance on a wild pitch.
Foster was the only Golden Griffin with two hits in the game while Coppinger and Panas each reached base three times.
Notes: Canisius and Marist met in the postseason for the fifth time and for the first time since 2009. Marist leads the all-time series 3-2 in MAAC Championship play… Canisius also advanced to the winners' bracket game in 2010 and 2012… Cortright threw his fifth complete game of the season… Canisius is the third team in conference history to win 40 games, joining the 2008 Canisius team and the 2002 Marist team who each won 41 games… Canisius improved to 10-3 this season in one-run games… Cortright is the first Godlen Griffins to throw a nine-inning one-hitter since Mike Goemans against Manhattan on May 9, 2010... Canisius also won its first-round game by the score of 2-1 in the 2012 MAAC Championship.

Along comes Carmelodrama, who has all this excess baggage of bad habits, and he's already looking for excuses after a 7-9 start. The guy is weak, soft, and a perennial loser.

Artificial intelligence might be the death of humanity. That's from no less an authority than Stephen Hawking—the world's best-known physicist. Other scientists are heeding his warning that programs could outsmart their programmers—with unintended consequences that can't be predicted. Massive investment by Google, Facebook and others, they say, is making that much more likely to happen, much sooner, than anybody expected. How do Americans feel about science fiction made real? Will developers agree not to go too far before it's too late?

Current influenza vaccines are limited because they can only stimulate immunity to specific strains of the virus, which is constantly evolving. This means a new vaccine must be developed every year to target the strains public health officials believe will be most prevalent that season. If an unforeseen strain emerges the vaccine would provide little or no protection. For that reason the "holy grail" of public health is the development of a universal influenza vaccine, one that can provide protection against any potential strain of the virus. Researchers will discuss current efforts underway and the most recent developments on the road to a universal flu vaccine.

It is common knowledge that lupus runs in families. In fact, primary relatives (siblings, parents, children) of a person with the condition have a three- to five-fold increased risk of developing the disease compared with the average person on the street. But until just the last decade, we haven't known how increased risk of lupus could be inherited.
Figuring out how lupus runs in families has been complicated. Lupus is not like some genetic diseases carrying a high profile in the ...Continue Reading →

Probate Court
« previous | 1 2 3 4 5 | next »
Why do Probate Courts become involved in the settling of descendents' estates?"
When a person who owns property dies, the Probate Court becomes involved to oversee the division of property among those persons legally entitled to it. If the person, referred to as the 'decedent,' left a will, the division of property will be carried out according to the wishes of the decedent as set forth in the will. (The process of proving that a will is genuine and distributing the property in it is known as 'probating' a will.) If the decedent did not leave a will, his or her property will be divided according to Connecticut's laws of 'intestacy.' (See the answer to question 15.) In addition to overseeing the distribution of the estate, the Probate Court will insure that any debts of the decedent, funeral expenses, and taxes are paid before distributing the remaining assets of the estate.
When is it necessary to open an estate?"
An estate must be opened if a decedent owned properties at the time of her death in his/her name alone or together with others, but not in survivorship. A court order is required to transfer this type of property to the proper party.
What does 'in survivorship' mean, and must survivorship property be reported to the Probate Court?"
The placing of a savings account, shares of corporate stock, bonds, or real estate 'in survivorship' with another means that each of the named parties has an undivided equal interest in the monies, stocks, bonds, or real estate during their joint lives. This form of ownership grants to the joint owner(s) who survives, ownership of all of the monies, stocks, bonds, or real estate immediately upon the death of the joint owner. Survivorship property must be reported to the Probate Court on the Connecticut Succession Tax Return required to be filed with the Court.
What taxes might be due at the time of death?"
Taxes payable as a result of death include one to the federal government called the Federal Estate Tax and another to the State of Connecticut known as the Connecticut Succession Tax. There may be a tax exemption and thus no tax due depending on the relationship of the beneficiary to the decedent and the size of the estate. Until January 1, 2005, succession tax returns are to be filed with and reviewed by the Probate Court and then forwarded to the Commissioner of Revenue Services of Connecticut. In the event that a dispute arises between the taxpayer and the Commissioner and a compromise is not reached, the Probate Court will hold a hearing to determine the matter. There is also a Connecticut Estate Tax which applies in certain cases where filing of a Federal Estate Tax Return is required. There may also be taxes payable to other states in which the decedent owned property. There may be income taxes, property taxes, and other taxes due from a decedent if these taxes accrued prior to death. It is the fiduciary's responsibility to ascertain and pay such taxes. Fiduciaries are also responsible for reporting income received during estate administration.
How is the Connecticut Succession Tax determined?"
The Connecticut Succession Tax is currently being phased out and will be totally eliminated by January 1, 2005. The amount of property exempted from the tax varies depending upon the relationship of the decedent to those who will receive the property. The succession tax on amounts passing to most beneficiaries (formerly Class AA, A and B) was eliminated. Currently there is one class of inheritors with Succession Taxes:
Class C — Relationship to decedent: any other beneficiary. For example, uncles, aunts, cousins, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, stepbrother, stepsister, unrelated individuals, associations, corporations.
Exemption amount for property inherited by Class C: Property under $1,500,000, effective January 1, 2004.
Tax on Class C will be eliminated January 1, 2005.
Tax Tables may be obtained from the Department of Revenue Services (860.297.5737) or from your local probate court.

Over this past summer, I had the opportunity to complete a 3-month internship with a biotechnology company near Raleigh, North Carolina. Novozymes, headquartered in Denmark, produces some microorganisms and biopharmaceutical ingredients, but their main focus is the production of enzymes for industrial use. These enzymes go to customers in the household care, food and beverage, and bioenergy industries, to name a few. Some of Novozymes' customers you may be familiar with include Procter & Gamble (Tide laundry detergent), Nabisco (Ritz crackers), and Anheuser Busch. My summer was spent in the Research & Development department working with enzymes for biofuel production.
The corn-to-ethanol process consists of two main stages. Briefly, corn is ground, and an alpha-amylase enzyme is added to solubilize and start to break down the starch. This stage, called liquefaction, takes approximately two hours. Next, in the fermentation stage, starch is broken down further with a glucoamylase enzyme and is fermented into ethanol using yeast over the course of two to three days. Ethanol is then used as a gasoline supplement; it can increase octane rating and improve vehicle emissions.
My first task as a Novozymes intern consisted of an internal assay development project seeking to increase the throughput of corn fermentation enzyme screenings. Novozymes is planning to purchase a new liquid-handler robot to automate and quicken the lab-scale fermentation process as they test which enzyme blends can obtain the best ethanol yields. It was my job to optimize parameters such as mixing and venting within the new system and test if it could match results from conventional screening methods.
A separate project that I focused on during the second half of the summer involved a joint effort between the Research & Development and Technical Solutions departments to formulate new product blends for liquefaction and fermentation of milo, or sorghum, a grain similar to corn. Milo may provide an advantage over corn because it is not a main ingredient in food manufacturing and may help keep grocery prices down. Milo may provide an environmental advantage as well, as it is more tolerant of drought than corn crops and requires less water. This project was especially interesting in that I was able to experience some of the business applications side of research and development. In formulating new product blends, our team had to keep in mind what process conditions and enzyme prices potential customers would be willing to agree with.
Everyone at Novozymes was extremely friendly and willing to help. The internship program at the Franklinton, North Carolina location, which houses the company's North American headquarters, is fairly large, so I was able to meet about 20 other interns at both the undergraduate and graduate school levels. The People & Organization department (a.k.a Human Resources) organized a networking lunch with site managers as well as a career prep workshop and resume review. We also attended a Carolina Mudcats baseball game, and an ice cream truck came around the work site to give out free ice cream every few weeks! Of course, there was always enough Carolina barbeque and sweet tea to go around.
Overall, my Novozymes internship was a well-rounded, enjoyable, and valuable experience. In addition to the Franklinton site, Novozymes operates in Virginia, California, Nebraska, and all over the world. The company offers internship and co-op positions at many of these locations. If you are interested, I highly recommended checking out their career site for available opportunities!

Premier League
Britannia Stadium
February 27, 2010
Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to February 2010 and a memorable win, albeit on a distressing day, for Arsenal at the Britannia Stadium.
The Gunners had already lost at Stoke in the FA Cup fourth round in late January, and in the aftermath of that defeat they picked just one point from a possible nine as their title bid threatened to unravel.
However, victories against Liverpool and Sunderland brought them back into contention as they headed to Stoke and a ground they had struggled at in the past.
Arsène Wenger's side were handed a major boost prior to kick-off with the news that Chelsea had lost 4-2 at home to Manchester City, handing the Gunners the chance to move within three points of the league leaders.
But it was Stoke who drew first blood when Danny Pugh headed in a Rory Delap long throw, and it looked set to be another miserable afternoon for the visitors.
But Wenger's side responded well and with 32 minutes on the clock Nicklas Bendtner got on to the end of Cesc Fabregas's right-wing cross to head home and restore parity.
However the day would long be remembered for the broken leg Aaron Ramsey suffered midway through the second half after a challenge from Ryan Shawcross which saw the defender sent off.
Despite the distressing nature of the injury, Arsenal composed themselves and with 90 minutes on the clock they were awarded a penalty after Pugh was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area.
Fabregas made no mistake from the spot, and Thomas Vermaelen wrapped up the win moments later when he tapped home from close range to secure a massive victory.
Wenger's side ultimately ended the season empty-handed after a disappointing run-in, but this was a character-building victory on a difficult and traumatic day.
Our FreezeFrame image shows Fabregas slotting home his penalty in added time.
Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Vermaelen, Campbell, Clichy, Song, Ramsey (Rosicky 71), Eboue (Walcott 75), Fabregas, Nasri (Eduardo 84), Bendtner. Subs not used: Fabianski, Silvestre, Traore, Vela.
