Hotel Linked To Child Prostitution Case Takes Action
Workers Learn About Signs Of Pimping After Trevor Baker Case
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A hotel linked to a child prostitution investigation is taking steps to prevent illegal activity in the future.
Police said Trevor Baker, 20, was caught pimping a 16-year-old girl and an 19-year-old girl at the Travel Lodge near 26th and Cimarron streets earlier this month.
On Tuesday, management at the Travel Lodge held a mandatory meeting for employees to hear a presentation from the Human Trafficking Task Force of Southern Colorado.
"We're going to talk about human trafficking on a very big scale, and then we're going to take it all down the way down to what happened here at the hotel," Task Force chair Aubrey Terry told workers. "Prostitution is human trafficking."
Some at the meeting said they had seen Baker with the two teens.
"They were very quiet and they were very nice people," said hotel manager Candy Cooley. "I mean, I checked Trevor Baker in myself once, and he really never gave any indication the situation was happening."
Employees learned about the warning signs for prostitution at the meeting, and now realize there were some red flags.
"He was a young man paying cash and had a girl coming in his room," said Cooley.
Cooley said hotel workers are now paying much closer attention to their guests.
"As far as checking IDs for all the adults in the room and just really watching for local activity in and out of the hotel," Cooley said.
Terry told employees to watch for guests without any luggage and suggested workers mention the security cameras placed throughout the building for guests' safety. She emphasized that prostitutes are almost always victims.
"They are victims because there's coercion, there's force, there's fraud connected to almost all of these stories," said Terry. "Of all the women I've worked with and the stories that I've heard, I've yet to meet a woman who woke up one day and said, 'I want to be a prostitute, I want to sell my body.'"
Terry said the Baker case is by no means an isolated incident in Southern Colorado. She said she's now working with two other teen girls who were also being prostituted in the Springs.
Terry said she contacted the Travel Lodge about having a presentation after the business was named in Baker's arrest affidavit. Police said Baker also prostituted the 16-year-old girl at The La Fon Motel in Manitou Springs. Terry said she contacted the motel several times, but has not heard back.

12 Totally Green Gifts for Kids
You've got a stellar resumé and references up the wazoo, but when you head into a job interview, your appearance dictates how it will go. "It takes about 2.2 seconds to make a first impression, and what you're wearing is a huge non-verbal and often subconscious way of ensuring the interviewer thinks you are a great fit," says Nicole Williams, LinkedIn's Connection Director. She adds, "Speaking of fit, regardless of industry or what you wear, fit is the key to looking your best."
Since sartorial choices are often the last thing on your mind when heading into an interview, but your outfit can give you a confidence boost (classic chicken and egg situation), we've narrowed down the field so all you need to prep is your "I just care too much." response to the "What's your biggest weakness?" question.
Knowing what to wear to interviews when applying for jobs such as graphic designer and copywriter can be tricky because the creative world dress code varies from company to company. The great thing about the creative sphere is that you have the chance to express your individuality and really show who you are. Just make sure your outfit isn't too distracting: "You risk sensory overload with an arm full of jangling bracelets or the interviewer's preoccupation with wondering, 'Is that a bird in her hair?'" says Williams.

- Is Massport a state agency?
No. Massport was enabled by the Massachusetts legislature in 1959 as an independent public authority. The Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation and Public Works serves as an ex officio member of the board and the remaining six members are appointed by the governor to staggered seven year terms. Board members must be residents of Massachusetts.
- Is Retirement membership mandatory for Massport employees?
Yes. Membership in the Massport Employees' Retirement System is required by law for all regularly employed employees who work at least 21 hours a week.
- How are changes made to the retirement plan?
The Massport Employees Retirement System is governed by the provisions of M.G.L., Chapter 32, as are most Massachusetts public pension systems. Any changes in the plan must be made through the legislative process.
- What is a Parking PASSport?
Parking PASSport is designed especially for frequent parkers. A proximity card that's no larger than a credit card, Parking PASSport is easy and secure to use.
- What are the benefits of the Parking PASSport?
As a registered user you have easy access in and out of the garage. Parking tickets and waiting in long lines at exit lanes are eliminated. Your receipt is conveniently emailed to you within twenty-four hours.
- How do I get a Parking PASSport?
Click on the following link and enter the required information. You will be asked to enter your email address, which along with the password you create will be your log-in. Please note that there will be a $5.00 account activation fee when you register. This fee is necessary to authenticate your credit card for the Parking PASSport program and to activate the proximity card.
- How do I change my user name?
Please send an email to, email@example.com. A member of the Transportation Staff will contact you within 1- 2 business days.
- How do I update my account information?
Sign in using the link below. Once on your personal account page, click on "View/Change Personal Data".
Sign-in to the Parking PASSport Program
- Do I have to register my vehicle to get a Parking PASSport?
Your Parking PASSport will work regardless of what vehicle you are in so it's not necessary to register your vehicle(s) in the program. However the Parking PASSport can only be used with one vehicle, at any one time.
- What if my Parking PASSport is lost or stolen?
Report the loss immediately because transactions using your Parking PASSport are directly tied to your credit card. You will be responsible for all fees on your Parking PASSport until you have reported it lost or stolen on your personal PASSport account page. Your existing card will be blocked and a new card will be issued. Your credit card will be billed a $5 replacement card fee.
If your card is lost while traveling, use a cashiered lane and provide an alternate form of payment when exiting the garage.
- What if my Parking PASSport is damaged?
Report a damaged card by sending an email to, firstname.lastname@example.com. A member of the Transportation Staff will contact you within 1-2 business days.
- Can I use my Parking PASSport in all garages and lots?
The Parking PASSport system is available in all Logan Airport garages, including long term parking and the Terminal E lots. The only parking facility where Parking PASSport is not offered is the overflow lot.
- Can I pay for my Parking PASSport charges using an exit express Parking Pay Station?
The parking pay station is only for paper tickets. If you took a ticket as you entered the garage, then you must pay for parking at a Parking Pay Station before returning to your car. Then use the validated ticket to leave the garage via an exit express lane. Your PASSport will not work in the exit lane if you took a paper ticket.
If you swiped your Parking PASSport in front of the reader when you entered the garage, then you must swipe your PASSport in front of the reader at the time of exit.
Please do not take a ticket after you have swiped your Parking PASSport. You must choose one method or the other.
- If I have a Parking PASSport, can I still pay cash for parking?
Yes. If you do not wish to use your Parking PASSport, you may take a parking ticket when you enter the garage instead of swiping your proximity card. Remember to keep your parking ticket with you and stop at a Parking Pay Station before returning to your car.
- What credit cards are accepted for payment?
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Dec 13, 2010.
The finale!!!
Running about 20-25 minutes late here. Dumbass NFL.
Ugh. This guy interviewed for the Brazil world cup is pissing me off...(not Lula, the other guy)
Figures I'm on the east coast for once and it's delayed
Rats, out of 24 hours in one day this friend of my mum had to pick ~8pm to come by and drop something off? I'll miss 5 minutes, if not more.
I'll take advantage of the US delay and watch the missed parts on CBS.
As if it's not bad enough the NFL delays TAR, now they've got Jimmy Jones and the Cowboys on 60 Minutes too.
Wheee I'm back.
Poor Nat. I'll do the bungee jumping for her. Or for anyone really, any day.
It's ON!
gah, all the pimping for the first all-female winners is convincing me Jill and Thomas are going to take this
I had a dream that they won... hope I'm wrong
ETA: ACK, come on, Nat!
ugh, did Katy Perry's record label pay for that excessive "California Gurls" montage?
I miss final legs where there is more than one bit of travel. It's boring to just go to the final city right away.
Go Nat, overcome that fear! And I'm really glad it's Brooke and not Claire with the fear of hieghts because I bet she'll just do it like she bungee jumps every weekend.
I can't believe nobody knows Sancho Panza or Don Quixote (aka his master).
Jill and Thomas
are toast.
I say this every season, but I'm such a dork. I love seeing all the eliminated racers lined up at the finish line.
I just wish I were spoiled for the ending. I hate not knowing.
And Nat, for dealing with your fears.
ETA: I love the Tournament of Roses Parade and love this challenge for a Pasadena leg.
For real? Seriously! As for the second part...
I hope you're right
Oh, I hear you! I'm so nervous - I want a girl/girl team to win so bad! (esp. the doctors..:)
ETA: Somehow I feel Brooke and Claire will rock this roadblock
I was so wrong I was laughing at all her screeeeeeming though.
Don't like how the bungee into the helicopter essentially created time between each team that would be heard to overcome. I might not mind it as much if Jill/Thomas were in 3rd
Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled (winner announced):
Finally, justice has been made for those f/f teams who were denied a win and who deserved it (Dustin and Kandice, anyone?) and I'm happy to say that the first f/f team to win is my favourite team of the season and one of my favourite teams ever:....Nat and Kat!!!!
Bob Eubanks!
Bob Eubanks Just when you think the show can't get any better!
I love this challenge
Kat is doing it so well. I think the fact that they have high stress professions that require a great deal of logical, on the spot thinking and decision making is a HUGE asset on the race.
I can't believe how badly Jill and Thomas are doing! Ask to go to an internet cafe! Or a hotel. It cracks me up that they just got out in some random neighborhood.
"Can we hug you? We're kinda sweaty"
I love the cheesey game show music they play at the hat quiz
So are Jill and Thomas just riding around randomly in a taxi?
Are Nick and Vicki at the finish line? Or did she kill him?
They're there, unfortunately!
Now that you bring them up I don't recall seeing them? Maybe they didn't get back in time?
eta...I see above they were.
Brooke has the right attitude about being a strong woman.
I finally spotted them. They're in all black. They must've been blending with the shadows.
Ew. The spawn of Chad.

Fly fishing with a purpose on the Blue River
October 7, 2012
On Sept. 29, three members of the Rotary Club of Summit County witnessed a remarkable healing effort, Project Healing Waters, on the Blue River just north of Summit County. Local businessman, Rotarian and angler Jim Buckler, of Cutthroat Anglers in Silverthorne, brought the project to the attention of the club's Troop Support Program.
A significant grant was given to support the effort, a three-day experience for 28 soldiers and veterans. They were supported by about 50 local guides, ranch hands and business people who ensured the success of the event.
One young soldier confided that prior to attending a similar event he did little but sit in front of his TV and feel sorry for his situation. Now he not only fishes regularly, but works events like this one helping others.
The mission of Project Healing Waters is to "assist in the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active duty military personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly-tying education and outings. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. strives to effectively serve the deserving past and present members of our armed forces who have made great sacrifices in the service of our nation."
The Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund would like to make further contributions to this rehabilitation effort. The fund is a 501(c)3, so contributions are tax deductible. Donations can be sent to PO Box 4401, Frisco, CO 80443. Please mark your checks for "Troop Support."

The Arms Collection comprises a broad range of weapons and associated items, including pistols, muskets, rifles, machine guns, swords, knives, bayonets, artillery pieces and armour. Most date from the 18th to 20th centuries.
The collection is useful for understanding military, social and political history, the technical development of firearms, and the aesthetics of decoration and craftsmanship demonstrated in many of its items. Established in 1860 and now comprising nearly 4000 items, it is one of the museum's oldest and most extensive collections.
Indian blunderbuss, bellmouth. Barrel engraved and decorated with gold koftgari designs. Probably made in Europe, early 19th century. One of a collection of weapons seized from mutineers during the Indian Mutiny. (ST 005917)Source: Museum Victoria
In 1860, 287 weapons from the Indian Mutiny of 1857-59 were presented to the Public Library by the Governor-General of India, Sir Charles Canning, at the request by the Governor of Victoria, Henry Barkly, and the library trustees.
The Canning Collection, as it is now known, was displayed in the staircase of the library, along with Aboriginal weapons and a small number of Fijian weapons. The weapons were displayed both as 'curiosities' of Indigenous and local manufacture, and more symbolically as trophies of the spread of the British Empire, in Australia, India and the Pacific. These items were subsequently transferred to the Industrial and Technological Museum in 1877.

British service musket, stamped on lock and barrel "MOORE 1793' and the monogram of the Hon. East India Company. London proof and makers marks. (ST 005896)Source: Museum Victoria
In 1871, the newly-established Industrial and Technological Museum began to acquire items that would enable local gunsmiths and mechanics to study the principles and techniques of firearms manufacture. The Victorian Ordnance Department donated small arms and munitions (76 items remain in the collection) and in 1881 Frederick Sargood, Victoria's representative at the Imperial Defence Commission in London, arranged for the British surveyor-general of Ordnance to donate a large collection, much of it from the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, showing the production stages of weapons and munitions (400 items remain in the collection).
Colt Navy percussion revolver made at Colt's Hartford factory, Connecticut, using some components manufactured at Colt's London factory.This is one of 250 Colt Navies purchased by the Victorian Police in 1864. (ST 005751)Source: Museum Victoria
Chinese assault rifle from the 1960s on display at the Immigration Museum. The Type 56 assault rifle is the Chinese copy of the Russian AK-47 Kalashnikov. (ST 026623)Source: Museum Victoria
The Arms Collection contains items acquired from military sources to demonstrate contemporary and historical military weapons, including those captured during wartime. These include items transferred after the closure of the Australian War Museum in Melbourne in 1926 and Australian Army and Defence Department donations.

Oregon Focus: People to Know: Chief Joseph, the Elder and the Younger
About Chief Joseph, the Elder and the Younger
Two of the most famous Native American leaders in America are Chief Joseph the Elder and Chief Joseph the Younger of the Nez Perce tribe.
Chief Joseph the Elder made a treaty with the United States in 1855 that granted the Wallowa country to the Nez Perce forever.
In 1863 the press of white men and their desire to have the lush rolling pastures of the Wallowa country led the United States government to draw up a treaty calling for the Indians to leave the area and live on a much smaller reservation centered around the village of Lapwai in Idaho. The Nez Perce never recognized this treaty, and they stayed on their lands. Chief Joseph the Elder died in 1871.
The pressure of the white settlers grew and finally Chief Joseph the Younger agreed to leave. But the night before they were to go in 1877, some white men stole a large number of their horses -- their most precious possessions -- and they went to war. This was a war of defense, as they knew they were greatly outnumbered. They retreated and hoped to reach the Canadian border and live there in peace. For four months they struggled north, they fought 12 different battles with U.S. soldiers, and escaped four different armies. They traveled almost 1,000 miles. Finally, starvation, cold, and fatigue forced them to surrender only a few miles from the Canadian border. Chief Joseph said, "I am tired of fighting. My people ask me for food, and I have none to give. It is cold, and we have no blankets, no wood. My people are starving to death. Where is my little daughter? I do not know. Perhaps even now she is freezing to death. Hear me, my Chiefs, I have fought; but from where the sun now stands, Joseph will fight no more."
The Nez Perce were removed to Kansas and then to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma), but some years later about 200 of them were allowed to move back to the dry coulees of Colville Reservation in eastern Washington. This was a far cry from the beautiful green rolling hills of the Wallowas, "The Valley of the Winding Waters."
These two chiefs are noted for their great dignity and honor in their efforts to deal with the white settlers and the U.S. government. Chief Joseph the Younger told government officials in Washington D.C.: "If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers."
Many places have been named for Chief Joseph, including Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia River, Chief Joseph Pass in Montana, and at least three schools in the Northwest.
Also see a notable Oregonian description for Chief Joseph, the Younger.
Suggestions for teachers
Ask students to:
List and discuss preconceived ideas about Native Americans from television and film.
Discuss what a treaty is. Draw up a treaty between two groups of students in the room.

Cardinals monitoring pitching market
It's no secret that the Cardinals could use another starting pitcher. Right-hander Chris Carpenter is out for the season. Left-hander Jaime Garcia remains sidelined with a left shoulder sprain.
The team, while frustrated by the high asking prices for starting pitchers, continues to perform its due diligence in the pitching market, monitoring both starters and relievers, according to major-league sources.
Among the starting pitchers who could interest the Cardinals: Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas and Astros left-hander Wandy Rodriguez.
Vargas, 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA, leads the majors with 25 home runs allowed, including 19 away from the Mariners' home park, pitcher-friendly Safeco Field. His ERA is 2.84 at home, 5.04 on the road.
However, Vargas is on pace for his third consecutive season of 190 or more innings, and is under club control through next season.
The Mariners scouted one of the Cardinals' top pitching prospects, Class A right-hander Tyrell Jenkins, on Monday night, according to a major-league source. It is not known whether the teams are in active discussions on Vargas or anyone else.
Rodriguez, a member of the Astros since 2005, is quite familiar to the Cardinals — and Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, who previously was a Cardinals' executive, is quite familiar with the St. Louis farm system.
From 2009 to '11, Rodriguez had a 3.36 ERA and averaged nearly 200 innings. He is performing at roughly the same level this season. After 19 starts, he is 7-7 with a 3.51 ERA.
The issue with Rodriguez is his contract – he is earning $10 million this season and $13 million next season with a $13 million club option for 2014.
The Astros, however, paid virtually all of first baseman Carlos Lee's remaining salary when they traded him to the Marlins, and presumably are willing to include a significant amount of cash in a Rodriguez trade as well.
If the Cardinals add a starting pitcher, they would have the option of moving either right-hander Lance Lynn or righty Joe Kelly to the bullpen. They signed veteran left-handed reliever, Brian Fuentes to a minor-league contract on Saturday.
— Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi
Well we definitely need to add a new pitcher. And sending Kelly seems more reasonable to send to the bullpen because Lynn and Lohse are the only two starts we have that their records are reasonably over .500. I would really wish everyone would quit be stupid and thinking Lynn needs to go to the pen.

I've taken your questions and I'll answer them one by one:
Now everywhere i look it says that english does not have to be your native language. So is that true?
Some schools and some countries will hire teachers who are not native speakers. Obviously, the options open to a non-native speaker are more limited.
i have a document that proofs that i have studied in the english school but is it going to help me at all and what good is it?
I suggest you check this out with the consulate of the country you wish to teach in and / or with the British Council.
Do i need a certificate or anything in order to take the courses and most of all-look for a job?
I suggest you check with course providers; look on their websites, call them up, etc. Check job ads for the country (countries) you wish to work in.
i've been thinking about thailand-how do you arrange your working visa-it's not a really hard work....is it? I guess that has more to do with my own government's agreements but still-someone might know.
I suggest you check with the Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country. You could also put a question in one of the open forums on this website. I'm afraid I don't have experience of working in Thailand.
As for your final comment on the lifestyle of TEFL teachers: there are many positive points to the work as well as negative ones. Sadly, this is the same for almost all careers. Only you can decide what you want: if you really want to teach English, have a go.

Cocoa is an object-oriented development environment available in Apple's Mac OS X environment. Mac OS X, a unified operating system and graphical operating environment, is the fastest growing Unix variant on the market today. Hard-core Unix programmers, developers who cut their teeth on classic Mac operating systems, and developers who cherished NeXTSTEP, the decade-old system on which today's Cocoa is based -- all are flocking to Cocoa, and they need a lot more practical information than is currently available from Apple. There is a lot to learn.Building Cocoa Applications is an ideal book for serious developers who want to write programs for the Mac OS X using Cocoa. It's a no-nonsense, hands-on text that's filled with examples -- not only simple and self-contained examples of individual Cocoa features, but extended examples of complete applications with enough sophistication and complexity that readers can put them to immediate use in their own environments.Building Cocoa Applications takes a step-by-step approach to teaching developers how to build real graphics applications using Cocoa. By showing the basics of an application in one chapter and then layering additional functionality onto that application in subsequent chapters, the book keeps readers interested and motivated. Readers will see immediate results, and then go on to build onto what they've already achieved.The book is divided into four major parts:Part I introduces the Mac OS X graphical user interface (Aqua) from a developer's point of view, Cocoa developer tools (such as the Interface Builder, Project Builder,and gdb debugger), object-oriented concepts, the Objective-C language in which Cocoa is written, and the basics of Cocoa programming itself.Part II focuses on building the first complete application, Calculator, a simple four-function calculator. The chapters in this part of the book extend the application, piece by piece, by introducing such features as nibs, icons, delegation, resizing, events, and responders.Part III focuses on building an application called MathPaper, which is similar to a word processor but which instead solves mathematical expressions the user supplies. The chapters in this part of the book extend MathPaper by developing both the front and back ends using a variety of Cocoa classes and methods. They introduce Cocoa'sdocument-based architecture, tasks, pipes, Rich Text format, handling document files, and using Quartz to draw in windows.Part IV focuses on building the GraphPaper application, a more complex multithreading application that graphs mathematical functions in multiple dimensions andthat uses mouse-over capabilities to identify graph points. The chapters in this part of the book add more advanced Mac OS X features such as multithreading, color,mouse events, zoom buttons, pasteboards, services, preferences, and the defaults database.By the end of the book, readers who have built the applications as they have read will have a solid understanding of what it really means to develop complete and incrementally more complex Cocoa applications.The book comes with extensive source code available for download from the O'Reilly web site, along with an appendix listing additional resources for further study.

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 animal on the cover of Building Cocoa Applications is a Mastiff (also known as an English or Old English Mastiff ). The Mastiff is a large-breed working dog with a long history-Mastiffs have been used as guard and fighting dogs in England for more than 2,000 years, and dogs of this type are found in European and Asian records dating back to 3000 BC. Shakespeare referred to Mastiffs as "the dogs of war," and Henry VIII is known to have given King Charles V of Spain several hundred Mastiffs to use as fighting dogs on the battlefield. Trained fighting mastiffs were also used by the ancient Celts, by Kubla Khan, and by Hannibal when he crossed the Alps. Even as recently as the two World Wars, Mastiffs were used to pull munitions carts on the fronts.Mastiff owners are often first attracted to the breed by its large size-Mastiffs are the heaviest dog breed, weighing in at an average of 180-220 pounds. Despite their history as fighting dogs, modern breeders have bred the Mastiff for gentleness and have created an excellent companion, large enough to deter intruders yet gentle enough to be dependable around children. Mastiffs are loyal, patient, affectionate, and protective, and they tend to bond strongly to their owners and become depressed during long periods of separation.

Comments about oreilly Building Cocoa Applications: A Step by Step Guide:
The book is centered on a calculator application (I think I remember another book with another calculator for MacOS 7) that gets unduly complicated in successive chapters. Now that is useable if it works, if you have lots of time and then you alter it and watch what happens. The problems are, * it does not work (typos, inaccuracies)* when it doesn't, you are on your own (no good explanation about the debugger, nor about where to look)* the Cocoa documentation is humungous and the book should give us some more entry points, otherwise it is easier to reprogram something than to find its name using what you have.Some concepts (like the responder chain to treat messages to objects like a window) are explained, but I have the impression that the authors explained what was the easiest to explain (the first 80-ish pages are about the Mac user interface and basic tools). When you want to find out eg. how to address an object (like for making one palette for several documents), again you are on your own.Another problem is, the book has become obsolete with MacOs evolving - better explanations could have avoided this effect.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

At last a book that has given me a general idea of what Cocoa is all about. My only background in programming is with Future Basic, a hybrid basic that adopts the program layout of C by replacing goto's with functions but keeps the terms of the language intact. It wasn't until I played around Interface Builder that I knew I had to learn Cocoa. I did a quick read of C fundamentals and found it wasn't much different than Future Basic other than the syntax of C seem more awkward to me. But I'll get use to it.First I read Inside Mac OS X The Objective-C Programming Language included with the Developer tools. The first part of the book describing the concept of Objects is easy to understand, but when I reached the Objective C Language section I became totally lost.Then I bought Cocoa Programming by Anguish, Buck, and Yacktman. Same scenario, I understand the first few chapters and then suddenly find myself reading technical jargon that is gibberish to me.Next I bought Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X by Cheeseman, once again it started off OK but since it was written by a lawyer, I soon found myself lost in the same way one might find oneself confused by a legal document.I'm not downing any of these publications, they're just too technical for me at this stage and they'll probably do me some good once I complete Building Cocoa Applications. This is the first book that has given me the overall picture of Cocoa without swamping me with specifics. Now I at last have a starting point for learning and understanding the specifics.I haven't tried entering any code yet and from the comments given here it's riddled with inaccuracies, but who cares when I can download the code and refer to that. With all it's faults, this is the one book that has put me on track.

This book contains good examples.However there are some flaws. As other people mentioned it, this book suffers lotsof typos, which are not just errors in typed characters but also the explanation.Unlike other programming environment, Cocoa programming with Interface Builder uses mouse-work like drag-and-drop for "programming" not just editing. What I meanis to connect outlet to some classes represented as graphical element in the Interface Builder. So, if there is some "missing" sentence, then the code is not going to work, and it's hard to find what error you have. Because of this, you can't use "diff" for finding errors with the code examples downloadable from the Oreilly's web site some times.So, how much writing errors in this book is very important to gauge how well written this book is. So, this books should be revised seriously.Second, multiprocessing sample doesn't seem like serious multiprocessing example,although it's good example. There is no example which uses "fork" and "join" seriously. Whether they are wrapped or not.
By Richard Hough
A flawed masterpiece.I have bought a couple of Cocoa programming books and, superficially, this one is the best of the lot. The examples are real, working applications and not code snippets. Moreover, they often involve "cool" features like graphics, integration with the BSD layer, and Mac-specific things like the pasteboard or Services.The exercises are also emotionally satisfying because you quickly get something that looks pretty; often after doing one I run to my S.O. saying "look at this!"Unfortunately this is also related to the first of two flaws with the book. The coverage is very superficial; the exercises are all recipies where you type in the magic code, click "run" and ooooh! Look at the pretty pictures! They don't explain how the "magic code" works in any detail, or tell you what to do if you get runtime errors instead of pretty pictures.And runtime errors are what you'll often get. The second, and most crippling, flaw with this book is that it is riddled with errors; typos, inaccurate information, missing steps, hand-waving non-explanations of important concepts. I have consulted the 18 pages of errata for the book, and still about half the time the application doesn't work right when I run it. The errors are usually things like missing environment variables, conflicting line endings or character encodings, differing system preferences, or other such machine-specific stuff.The book should cover debugging in more detail. It should have a section on using GDB. The examples should have steps where you validate your configuration against what the authors are expecting. The "magic code" should include error checking. If the second version includes this, it will be the masterpiece this one should have been.

In general, a good step-by-step overview of Cocoa programming and Objective-C. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book as there are major flaws in Chapter 10 and as of Jan 11th 2003, the downloaded tar file (once decompressed) cannot be read or expanded. Chapter 10 deals with renaming several default files. Several critical steps are missing as the applicaiton can no longer produce document windows.
By Frederick C. Lee
The book is well-planned and logical in its approach. It covers some key items to Cocoa programming in quite detail vs other books.However, I found errors and my edition (May 2002) doesn't have some of the Jaguar stuff. For example, on Page 323 the author refers to 'Tool' as the New Target for the Project Builder. But my newer version of PB has 5 different tools versus just one. I'm clueless as to which tool to use/develop.Also, the 'evaluator' example within the Unix environment isn't laid out very explicit. I can't get my makefile to compile correctly. Perhaps it's a missing TAB or SPACE in the code, I don't know. It's hard to follow.And I can't de-arc the example codes from the web site. Other than that, It's a good 1st edition that will probably get better in the 2nd edition and beyond. Hence I recommend this book.
By William
Overall, Building Cocoa Applications is a good introductory book and since I received it for free at WWDC 2002 I shouldn't complain too much. However, the code in this book is full of errors and inconsistancies. Many times after typing in the code from the book, I was disappointed that it would not compile. I had to read over the example code to find the errors. Several times the dealloc method was left out completely. And a simple thing like a missing semicolon (code, p. 479) demonstrates to me that this book was not proofread at all. As a beginner, learning programming, OO concepts and Cocoa, I'm very frustrated with the many errors which have wasted many hours. I guess I've learned a lot from fixing the errors but I hope this was not intended by the authors. I can only guess that since the example code is dated Feb. 2002 that the book was rushed to press so it would be ready for WWDC in May. And that's a shame because without quality prooffreading this book is not up to the standard of O'Reilly books which I have come to expect and depend on. And four months later still no official errata.It's not my intention to insult or hurt anyone's feelings (authors, technical reviewers, O'Reilly staff) but this book needs work and I would recommend readers wait until a second edition is published. I can recommend Aaron Hilligass' book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" which is close to being error free and also easier for a beginner to read.
By Paul Jager
I was lucky enough to receive my copy for free at the recent WWDC 2002, which I attended as a student. I can understand some people are frustrated by some errors here and there, but having no background in objective C and having only been taught Java at uni, I could easily work out and fix the errors in code, and have gotten the applications to work with little effort: mostly they are obvious. I would suggest that people not let these slights put them off getting a copy...I am extremely impressed with the incredible power of OSX, and found that I learnt more about OOP through this book over the uni break than my 3 years at uni studying computer systems engineering. Its amazing, that in a few hours I understood the practical meaning of all that deisgn pattern stuff we brushed over at uni this year (like proxy pattern etc, delgates...)Keep up the good work o'reilly!

I believe most studies have shown that "academic writing" exhibits a higher percentage of passive voice compared to other types of English. Setting that aside, there are no other significantly different characteristics among English "types", regardless of the content area. You can disagree with that if you like. However, I'm unaware of any research which would support another view.
Here's my question.
What then is "Business English?" Are you doing content based ESL with "business" as your content? Seems to me there may be a bit of the old flim flam operating here. Are your students aware that the English language is the English language regardless of whether or not you're discussing business or the movies? Other than concentrating on vocabulary and jargon that appears with higher frequency in "business" discussions, what makes business English different than English for Medical Purposes?
This is not an attack. Please don't take it as such. I'm just curious about your take on this.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Carlos Vives
In 1996, under the slogan of Unete a los Locales (Join the Local Ones), the talented musician created his own label, called Gaira, to promote and give an incentive to local artists, though he continued to record for EMI. In 1998 he joined fellow top-tier Colombian stars Shakira and Charlie Zaa on-stage during a benefit for victims of an earthquake that destroyed Colombian coffee fields. Vives issued the smash El Amor de Mi Tierra in 1999; in 2000 it received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Album.
Released in 2001, Déjame Entrar won the artist his first Grammy for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album. He shifted directions for 2004's En Rock de Mi Pueblo, which added a healthy dose of rock & roll and rap to his vallenato grooves. This album received a Grammy nomination in 2005. Vives and EMI fell into a contract dispute after the recording was released and he didn't record again for five years. Clásicos de la Provincia II, issued in 2009, was a collection of early vallenato and traditional songs and only released in Colombia through a supermarket chain.
In 2012 he resurfaced as a coach for the the Colombian version of The Voice. His contract difficulties behind him, he signed with Sony and the single "Volví a Nacer" was issued in the fall of 2012. It entered several international charts at number one. It was followed in January 2013 by the release of the album Corazón Profundo, which also reached the top spot. He followed it with a second hit single, "Como le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo" (featuring Michel Teló) and commenced touring. While on the road, Vives continued to record. Más Corazón Profundo appeared in 2014. It featured new songs (including duets with Choc Quib Town and Marc Anthony) as well as extended mixes of singles and "Volví a Nacer." In the summer of 2015, he released an audio/video document entitled Más + Corazón Profundo Tour: En Vivo Desde la Bahiá de Santa Marta. ~ Drago Bonacich

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|thanks for the info. mike
|I have 2 Corvettes and bleading the brakes can be more difficult than other cars. Concerning the caliper with two blead valves, blead the inside valve first then the outside. Unless you have a power bleader there are only two other methods of bleading the brakes that I know of that will work. The first is gravity blead. You simply fill the master cylinder with fluid, open the bleader valve with a drain hose on it and let gravity drain the lines. Keep the master cylinder full in the process until you see no bubbles in your fluid coming out of the caliper. If this does not work, I have found a $6.95 one man brake blead kit to work great but the trick is to have the recovery bottle higher than the caliper. Pump the pedal several times up and down with the bleader valve open all the while keeping the master cylinder full, until all the air is gone. No need to close the bleader valve each time you let the pedal up like the conventional method of bleading. If you replaced the master cylinder I would bench blead that before you put it back on the car. Start bleading with the longest brake line and work back to the shortest.
corvette brake help??
hi folks, i am ready to redo the brakes on my 75 vette, i was told that it was different than bleeding regular brakes,any truth to this??
each caliper must be bled in two places, but is this the only difference??thanks in advance ,mike.

Discussion in 'December 2011' started by roscoe36, Dec 18, 2011.
That's a pretty safe lineup choice from Frank. For the most part, they are all familiar with each other, so with a limited pre-season, it could be the most cohesive. My guess is that the vets get the PT until the losing starts and then the coach feels like he has the mandate to "shake things up" with the younger guys. Pretty boring.
I'm pretty sure the only reason JJ is even starting tonight is because CV is still suspended. With the way the offense runs with 2 out of 3 of the team's resident ball hogs on the floor together those losses won't be long in coming. Side note: Kyrie Irving will be starting for the Cavs tonight.
Yes its very boring and I would be surprised if we led after the 1st quarter.
I like that this is our first game. Indy is supposed to be improved with the acquisition of David West and George Hill, this is a good measuring stick for us. And i really want to see JJ Vs Hansborough.....I'm STOKED!!!! And ready to be frustrated beyond belief and then ready to be very depressed by what I see tonight and then ready to be **WARNING** Drunken post game recap likely to follow.
League Pass - free preview is through January 8. Anyone know how this works? Do you just turn on the cable/satellite channel or log onto the internet site?
Yah, in the past the channels just aren't blocked out anymore! I'm looking forward to it now. So how does the new chat work? I've yet to use it!
Where is the game-day chat? I am lost.
It is going to be a long season if we can't even keep the Pacers from running all over us.
And so it begins.
Ouch. These next 65 games are going to feel like 120.
well, that's that. Not much to say really. This team looked exactly like they did last year.
OUCH! Let me just say this, I did not like Brandon Knight at Kentucky, I did not like us taking him with the 8th pick (I wanted Morris from Kansas) and he looked AWFUL in his rookie debut, albeit he did hit a couple of wide open 3's. Ben Gordon...........I won't even bother. Rodney Stuckey................See Ben Gordon's recap. Tayshaun........................See Rodney Stuckey's recap. Greg Monroe................... Foul trouble, so I couldn't tell if he'd regressed back to what he looked like early in his rookie season. looked decent at times but nothing special at all. Jonas.....................I'll bet anyone-anything that they (the Pistons org) make him the face of the franchise. The Bench: Max should not play-period. Ben has a little something left in the tank, but you can't pair him up with Max, which if Doogie is paying attention should never be a problem because: MAX SHOULD NEVER PLAY! Bynum: A decent bench guy, no more-no less. Put him in for a spark. Austin Daye: Based on tonight, we need to trade this guy ASAP! That's the only value he will ever have to the Pistons. A ton of TO's coupled with an inability to rebound (not to mention the inability to actually put the ball in the hoop) will basically equate to being ran out of the gym, and we were! If I'm Joe I offer NJ: Brandon Knight, Austin Daye and CV and/or Ben Gordon for Deron Williams.
Not very positive after the first game............by next game, I'll offer my victories prediction for the team.
Ben Gordon needs to be charged with a felony for stealing $11.6 Million from the Pistons.
At the bottom of the site. I hope you made it lady.
COME ON PEOPLE.. I know it's REALLY PAINFUL being a hard die pistons fan like I am and watch our team getting worse every single day. But we can't say "Brandon Knight has no future" after his first game in the NBA. Come on, he will have bad games, he IS NOT John Stockton, he is not Isiah Thomas, but I'm pretty sure he will get better every night, I have some faith in Dumars, Gores, Knight, Frank, Monroe and Jerebko. Do you really think we are going to make the playoffs this year?? Stop complaining so much!
What tonights game did was reassure me that my previous thoughts of this team were valid. We need to cut ties with Tay, he is awful and just isnt playing with anything resembling effort, the only thing he is doing( and doing well) is taking pt away from jj and dayes developement. Lets face it, we are not a title contender so lets actually throw the baby out with the bath water. Get Knight, Stuck, Daye JJ and Monroe starting and see where they get by the end of this short year and make drafting a big body the only possible move this year. If we can? package cv and Tay for a big....or Max, Tay and cv...
Actually.........I think the Pacers will make the playoffs.........6 or 7 seed......... The Pistons..........nah.........
Read my post. At Kentucky the kid just DID NOT IMPRESS ME! When we took him with the 8th pick I moaned and groaned like a little kid with a tummy ache. Nothing that happened tonight has done anything to change my mind. I'm not saying that he doesn't have a future in this league or on this team, but the kid does not -nor has he ever- impressed me. Sorry, just not a fan of his game. And I'm not basing that solely based on tonight's game, I'm basing it on all the games I watched him play at Kentucky. That being said, I might be wrong and I hope I am, Lord knows Greg Monroe surely got the last laugh on me last year.
Separate names with a comma.

ROSE, JON: Great Fences of Australia
A limited edition release, in a presentation box with a mounted strip of barbed wire in each. This is a record of Jon's mammoth round- Australia tour with violinist Hollis Taylor, playing fences - the endless fences that divide the country. Hundred of resonating metres of them. This may read as a bit of conceptual nonsense, but these long wires are surely instruments, and the results are intensely musical, and unbelievably diverse. So many sounds and different ways of exiting these wires into sounds that laptop electronic performers probably wouldn't even dream about. And played with imagination and great musicality. A classic. Not to be missed. Only a few remaining.

text: Yep! Tex I have used it and blued a few guns with it also. I reload so I shoot a lot of lead bullets. IMHO I would not use it on any gun that has plastic parts because it's got ammonia in it. I say it may affect those parts. I see no problem with all steel gun. It does a fair job on lead, but Shooters Choice is better followed by Hoppes#9. That's the way it works for me.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Gunners legend Nigel Winterburn and Tim Clark of Arse2Mouse.
Read on for their views on the Gunners' home game against Southampton.
It was a terrific game. Arsenal were outstanding for the first 45 minutes, they had far too much movement for Southampton and the passing was very sharp. In the second half, and this often happens when you've got a commanding lead, Arsenal dropped their level a bit. They didn't play quite as well after the break but overall I was really impressed by Arsenal.
Podolski scored the goal of the game and we now seem to have a few options from free-kicks because Cazorla and Arteta can also take them. Defensively we looked solid as well - with the exception of that one slip for Southampton's goal - and I was particularly impressed by Kieran Gibbs. He was my man of the match - and not just because he's a left back! So far this season Arsenal have looked very strong in general and long may it continue.
I think it will be quite an open game. I've been quite impressed with what I've seen of Southampton so far. They like to try and play football and have some dangerous players. The problem is that they're not picking up the points that they'd have liked to, with the performances they've had. They look quite good going forward, but defensively look like they might concede goals. It will be a difficult game for Arsenal, but I think it's one that will suit them.
Lukas Podolski seems to be settling in nicely and Santi Cazorla has been very good - it looks like the two of them have a good understanding already. The whole team has impressed me with their attitude and their work rate, which is the key to success to start with. Work rate is something that you can sometimes forget about when you try to play attractive football, but it's so important to a club like Arsenal. If the work rate is right, the passing and the performances will follow.
It's always difficult when you come back from an international break. There's such a short period of time to prepare and you have to assess the players that have been away. There could be a couple of changes, but it wouldn't surprise me if the team is exactly the same. I think Arsenal will win 3-1.
As an inveterate moaner, it's hard to know where to start with that. The only thing I can find to complain about Saturday's game was that the sauce on the celebratory garlic chilli chicken I ordered afterwards was a little dry. Sack the board, etc. Much of the plaudits have understandably gone to Podolski, whose charging run set up the first, while his pearler of a free-kick showed he's got skill to go with the raw power. Pick of the six goals, though, was the near post banger from Gervinho, who really does look revitalised. And how about the sand wedge chip from Arteta to set it up? Mikilicious.
The real standouts for me, though, were Mertesacker, who continues to ooze class at the back, (at some point we'll have to mop it up), and my new pocket-sized crush Santi Cazorla. It probably wasn't clear if you only saw the highlights, but the Spaniard absolutely ran the show. His range of passing, and the speed with which he sees opportunities, is ensorcelling. The only downer was the end of our run of clean sheets, for which the keeper rightly carries the can (when ideally he would have carried the ball). There's little point in dwelling on that mistake, particularly as high balls have generally been dealt with effectively during Szczesny's tenure, but of more concern is his kicking. See, I knew I'd be able to find something.
After two games that were all foreplay and no finish, the win at Anfield came as a sweet relief. We've had almost two weeks to bask in the afterglow of that result, but now's the time to stub out the post-coital gasper and crack on with the business of turning a decent start into a really good one. Nothing less than three points on Saturday will do, and given how we've struggled to undress recently-promoted teams at the Emirates in past seasons, nothing less than 100 per cent focus from the lads is required.
But which lads? The major selection conundrum is who comes in to replace Abou and his Inspector Gadget legs if, as seems likely, the boss decides not to risk him after picking up a minor thigh twang in midweek. I asked that question on Twitter and, aside from the comedian who suggested we played Yann M'Vila, most went with either Ramsey or Coquelin. I'd plump for the latter, largely because I think his quick feet and willingness to drive forwards make him a similar fit to Daddy Long Legs.
Whatever happens, we'll need to be patient and inventive in order to circumvent what's likely to be a parked Southampton bus. The scare that they recently gave Man United means there's no room for complacency. (I write that as if there ever is room for complacency.) Let's hope OG finally finds his shooting boots, Szcz continues the good work done by Don Vito and Santi… and let's just hope Santi keeps being Santi. Is it too early to tell him I love him?

My name is Kerry, however all the local troops call me Darman. I entered the SW world of costuming as a TK in the 501st. Worked with alot of the local Mercs at events, and enjoyed better vision with a T-visor, and so began my journey as a custom Mando. We had discussions over the next couple of months, as we didn't have any "face" characters in the local area (Majority were custom Mandos), and as I always liked Jango, I started converting albeit slowly.
All though FAR from accurate at the moment, I have been working on getting parts to become an accurate (except for my height of 6"3") Jango Fett.
I joined here at the urging of J. P. on my facebook friends list...and here I am!
Looking forward to completing my Jango, and meeting others in the future!:jango

Animals on small acreage farms can provide food, weed and vegetation control, as well as enjoyment from riding, or interacting with them. In fact, there are countless benefits of having livestock be a part of your land, but they come with a high level of commitment and maintenance.
Animals will likely need some if not all of the following, a barn, shed, or fencing for protection and containment. Animal health, management and well being are also important concerns of new owners. There are a number of guidelines to aid livestock and poultry owners on the space requirements for animal comfort, health and well-being. Plans and guidelines range from basic to elaborate depending on animal needs. The key for animal owners, is to provide a healthy environment for their livestock/poultry that will aid in maximum production and minimum input for maximum profits. If animal owners are interested in the animals more as a hobby than a production enterprise, expenses and performance efficiency may not be as important, but animal welfare, health and well-being continue as a high priority.
Owners need to consider their own resources, the property space available for their animals and then adjust animal numbers and production according to the land allotted for each animal. A number of additional factors to consider in animal space requirements include: the local environment (weather and temperature variations and seasons), size of animals within the specific species to be housed (ponies vs. draft horses), type of flooring to be used makes a big difference on drainage and manure handling requirements (cement vs. earthen flooring), if animals are to graze or be fed harvested feeds and/or some combination of each, and other such variables.
Remember to also check local zoning ordinances before purchasing animals and building buildings to make sure you will be in compliance.
Pasture Management - Animals on pasture should have access to a windbreak or other shelter to protect them from cold winter winds, hot summer sun, and wet, rainy weather. When introducing livestock to pasture in the spring, it is wise to limit access for a few days to decrease the chances of colic or founder from an abrupt change in diet. Begin by turning animals out for 30 minutes the first day. Increase gradually over a week or two. After the adjustment period, it should be safe for them to remain in pasture full-time. More resources are listed at http://extension.usu.edu.
The young growing calf, hard working horse, or pregnant mare may have higher nutritional requirements than pasture alone can provide and may necessitate the addition of a grain mixture. All animals should have free choice access to trace-mineral salt. Also, all animals need access to adequate quantities of fresh water. The average horse will consume 10-12 gallons of water each day.
Parasite Control - This is a vital part of every heath care program. Manure is the primary means through which parasites spread. Manure often contaminates the feed, water supplies, pastures, paddocks, and stalls. Proper manure should be composted or spread on unoccupied posture to sun cure. Harrowing or dragging pastures during hot dry weather helps disperse the manure deposits and kills parasite larva by exposing them to the sun. Dragging should not be done where animals are grazing because it distributes the larvae across the grass making it more accessible initially. There is little advantage to grazing cows and sheep with horses. However, horses following ruminants (cows) or vice versa is beneficial. The parasites that are specific to horses do not reproduce in cows so the parasite population is reduced.
Bloating - Pastures that contain a large percentage of alfalfa or clover pose and increased risk for bloating animals. Make sure animals are not hungry when they enter these fields, and watch them closely.

Five for Friday
Whew. Wrapping up the week after a 24-hour power outage in the wake of 70 mph gusts here in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Wednesday and Thursday, we have the following tidbits:
Speaking at SCALE: The SCALE team has been busy putting together the Southern California Linux Expo — that's SCALE 10X for those of you keeping score at home (and, as Giants play-by-play guy Duane Kuiper once added, "but why would you?") — and they've finalized the speakers for the sessions in the three-day first-of-the-year Linux expo in North America. It's a good lineup — yours truly had a talk accepted, and I know for sure that my neighbors over the hill Alison Chaiken and Akkana Peck are also in the lineup — and when the list has been finalized, we'll announce it here as well. Of course, yours truly and darling daughter have planned another upSCALE talk which should not be missed at SCALE 10X. Registration is open — don't wait: Click here to register. I'll wait.
SSHHHHHHHH: Carla Schroder wrote an excellent piece on tips and tricks for OpenSSH. For the uninitiated, OpenSSH is a powerful tool that lets you run applications remotely and allows you share files without having to set up a file server. If this interests you –and even if it doesn't — it's worth a look.
And they all came out and said "try me": The last few weeks have seen a tsunami of releases. November saw a flurry that included Fedora 16, the rolling release of OpenSUSE 12.1 (which, of course, begs the question: What happened to plain ol' 12?), Linux Mint 12 Lisa and CrunchBang's Statler. I've written about the latter and I'm more enamored each day with it, and I'll get around to the others next week. Cross my heart and scout's honor. Meanwhile, if you wanted to visit them and get a copy for your own personal test drive, no one would be happier than me.
You animal: Rikki Endsley wrote this outstanding piece on Network World entitled "Everything I Needed to Know about Linux I Learned from My Pets." The first line: "My relationship with my motley crew of cats and dogs is similar to my relationship with Linux. In both cases, I've learned that patience pays off, and life is better with than without them." Indeed.
Thinking globally, acting locally: Mother Nature is being reasonable just in time for Felton LUG to meet. As those of you locals know, we had to move the meeting to the first Saturday for November and December because of the CERT training (they are the emergency responders in crises, so we thank them and let them have our spot whenever they want) on our usual second Saturday of the month. For those of you who are still awake, Felton LUG will meet tomorrow, 2-6 p.m., at the solar-powered Felton Fire Station behind the Felton Community Center. No program this month — run what ya brung — and there could be an installfest kicking off January 2012.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

Make it so, SCALE
A little history: Mimi Cafiero (yes, that's my girl) and Malakai Wade, two teenage girls who are helping to organize SCALE 10X's young people's conference, staunchly proclaimed that, "We are not kids." So the title of SCALE 10X Kids Conference was in peril from the start.
Yet in discussion on the mailing list on the name that shortly followed, Jenn Waterman had the perfect solution in a one-line e-mail:
"I would like to suggest 'SCaLE: The Next Generation' :)"
So after a little more discussion, the organizers for the event made it so. The SCALE Kids Conference became SCALE: The Next Generation.
Yesterday, the Southern California Linux Expo officially announced their conference for the next generation of free and open source (FOSS) community enthusiasts. SCALE: The Next Generation will be held Saturday, January 21, 2012, at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel.
In their announcement, they invite the youth of the FOSS community to share their enthusiasm and excitement about FOSS projects with the other young people.
Talk submissions are reviewed by a committee of youths, parents, and volunteers planning the conference and evaluated solely on their merits. SCALE requests that submission dates be strictly honored in order to provide the committee enough time to choose the best set of proposals.
Presenters will have the opportunity to give a 20- or 45-minute presentation, and the desired time slot be mentioned in the submission.
The goal of both SCALE and SCALE: The Next Generation is to educate and encourage excitement about FOSS. Because of this, all presentations should be submitted in a free and open format, such as OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) or PDF formats.
Additionally the conference will also provide space where the next generation FOSS enthusiasts can see FOSS program and hardware projects in action. SCALE encourages those youths interested in showcasing a project that they themselves are involved in or simply excited about, to submit a one paragraph description about the project and what attendees can hope to see.
Submissions for both presentations and demonstrations should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
Important dates to keep in mind: Invitation for Participation Opens on Nov. 29 (yesterday); Invitation for Participation Closes on Dec. 19; and SCALE: The Next Generation takes place on Jan. 21, 2012.
Come on, kids . . . er, I mean, next-generationers — get those talks in and be a part of this historic conference.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software in his new home office. Watch this space.)
Spanning the globe . . .
. . . to bring you the constant variety of FOSS. A few morsels of FOSS news have flown by the proverbial radar this week, and you may already know these things already. But just to recap
Finishing out the alphabet: Ubuntu announced it planned to offer a five-year long-term support — up from the usual three-year LTS — with its next release, 12.04 or Precise Pangolin. Bad news or good news? Good news on the whole, unless you have to use Unity — five years with Unity seems to strike me as an act that violates the Geneva Convention. But if you're using one of the other 'buntus, like Xubuntu, Kubuntu or Lubuntu, you're in luck. You can keep using Pangolin and let Ubuntu ride out the alphabet, since Canonical's SABDFL* Mark Shuttleworth will finally reach the end of the alphabet by Ubuntu 17.04 — 17.04 is the Z adjective/animal — five years after the release of Pangolin.
Hold onto those Palms: Well, if you thought Palm OS was out the window and that HP's hardware was going the way of the Dodo and the Studebaker, think again. HP is actually going to keep its PC unit, according to ZDNet. Again good and bad news: Good news because I'm particularly fond of Palm OS and the Palm Pre 2 when I used it — and those who picked up the fire sale HP tablets have hardware that might get a new lease on life — but the bad news is that I now have to say something nice about Meg Whitman. Good call and thanks, Meg.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles . . . : The SCALE team is busy at work setting up 2012's first event on the North American continent — SCALE 10X is being held Jan. 20-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport — and their contest closes next week to design the SCALE 10X logo appearing on T-shirts, bags and other SCALE 10X swag. Details are here, and the prize is a trip to SCALE. Draw quickly.
Speaking of SCALE: Rikki Endsley wrote an exceptional piece on why kids matter in FOSS. She gives seven excellent reasons why we should be cultivating the future with a new generation of FOSS developers and advocates. Thanks, Rikki, for an exceptional dovetail into the SCALE Kids' Conference, which will be held at SCALE 10X (dates and link above). Want to make a difference in FOSS future? Here's your chance.
One more thing: I think I offer a pretty wide latitude when it comes to comments to this blog, if the FSF item is any indication. I do have a couple of rules that by which I ask folks to abide: a.) provide a name and an valid — valid — e-mail address (or a valid nameserver address), and b.) try not to be a douche. I know some people can't help violating "b." to save their lives, so I will sometimes waive that rule if they provide "a." But if you violate both, you're out of luck. That plain, that simple.

The kids are all right
Gareth Greenaway, the tallest of the SCALE team running the Southern California Linux Expo, proposes to help out the smallest of the Linux/FOSS users.
How? For the first time ever, the Southern California Linux Expo will host the SCALE Kids Conference on Gareth's watch, a free and open source event where the community leaders of tomorrow will be able to spotlight their talents and ideas.
According to a recent SCALE release, the goal of the conference is to be as "kid driven" as possible. The event offers a unique opportunity for kids 10 to 16 to see and experience the inner workings of planning, determine the content, and help to steer the direction that the conference will take.
The SCALE Kids Conference will take place on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012 in parallel with the main SCALE 10X conference.
For those parents and kids interested in helping to plan the event, Gareth and the SCALE team (and that includes yours truly) encourage you to join the scale-kids mailing list here.
Don't forget: SCALE 10X will be held from Jan. 20-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel. Call for papers is open. Mark your calendars.
