January 27, 2010 > Diabetes Can Be a Heart-Breaking Disease
Learn About the Relationship Between Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease at Upcoming Lecture
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), more than 65 percent of deaths in diabetes patients are attributed to heart and vascular disease, making heart disease one of the most life-threatening complications of diabetes. The risk is dramatic - the ADA warns that a diagnosis of diabetes as an adult presents the same risk as already having one heart attack."Diabetes is a progressive disease that affects the entire body from head to toe, including all blood vessels, both large and small," says Washington Hospital cardiologist Dr. Ash Jain, medical director of the Washington Hospital Cardiovascular Institute. "Damage to the large arteries - including blockages - can cause heart attacks. In addition to heart problems, the effects of diabetes on blood vessels can result in high blood pressure and strokes in the brain. If arteries in the kidneys are affected, it could lead to kidney failure. Damage to arteries in the legs can lead to gangrene and amputation.To help people in the community learn more about the relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease, Washington Hospital is sponsoring a free "Diabetes Matters" class, featuring a lecture by Dr. Jain. A question-and-answer session will follow the lecture. The class is scheduled for Thursday, February 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium in the Washington West Building at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont."Because diabetes causes damage to the body's nerve endings and limits the sensation of pain, people with diabetes who have a heart attack may not have the typical symptom of a crushing pain in the chest," he adds. "Instead, it is more likely that they will have symptoms such as shortness of breath, weakness and extreme fatigue."Jain says that diabetes is generally slow in progressing, so patients may not sense any symptoms of heart disease for years, so the diagnosis of such problems may be delayed."That's why it is essential for people with diabetes to have thorough medical check-ups at regular intervals," he says. "An annual exam should include a stress test and an evaluation of the peripheral vascular system."People with diabetes often have high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which are additional risk factors for heart disease. "These factors are all interrelated," Dr. Jain says. "Controlling high blood pressure to the range of 120/80 to 130/90 is very important for people with diabetes. In terms of managing cholesterol, we often recommend that people with diabetes maintain an overall cholesterol level of 150, with the LDL or 'bad' cholesterol level below 100 and the HDL or 'good cholesterol' level above 50."In addition to these guidelines, Dr. Jain offers several other recommendations for reducing your risk factors for heart disease:* Keep your blood sugar level under control, monitoring it every day to make sure your diet, exercise and any prescribed medications are working.* Losing weight if you are overweight or obese, since weight loss can help control your blood sugar level, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.* Increasing your level of physical activity to help your body functioning properly.* If you smoke, stop smoking, since it damages the blood vessels, which are already at risk of damage from diabetes.Checking your blood glucose at home with a meter shows your blood sugar level at that particular moment. The A1C blood test, which usually is done at your doctor's office, shows your average blood sugar level over the past two or three months. The A1C test is a good way to see how your diabetes treatment program is working to control your blood glucose levels. Your doctor may recommend an A1C test two to four times per year. The A1C test does not replace the need for daily self-testing of blood glucose. "Control of diabetes is imperative, but you do not have to make life miserable in the process," Dr. Jain notes. "Studies have shown that adequate control, keeping A1C between 6 and 7, helps as much as very tight control that keeps A1C below 6."Preventing heart disease is important for everyone - whether you have diabetes or not. But it is especially imperative for people who do have diabetes. "We do have very excellent interventions available today for treating heart disease, including balloon angioplasty, stents and bypass surgery," Dr. Jain adds. "Unfortunately, the results of these interventions are not as good in people with diabetes. We're not sure why that is the case, but it makes prevention of heart disease even more critical for people with diabetes."Come to the Diabetes Support GroupSuccess in managing diabetes has a lot to do with receiving and giving social support. For people who suffer from diabetes, Washington Hospital's Outpatient Diabetes Program offers a support group that allows people to have in-depth conversations about what's happening in their lives and share information about dealing with diabetes in a positive and caring environment. The support group meetings are held at 8 p.m. every month immediately following the hour-long Diabetes Matters lecture which begins at 7 p.m. the first Thursday of each month. Family members and friends are also welcome. For more information about the support group or other classes and programs, call the Diabetes Services program at (510) 745-6556 or visit us on the web: www.whhs.com/diabetes


text: Born a leap year baby, Autumn Leed grew up in the small town of Plymouth, Indiana. She is one of eight children raised on a strawberry farm. She realized at a very early age that she wanted to grow up to be a professional singer. Her first paid performance was at the age of seven, when her mothers' friends paid her fifty cents to sing for them. Later she studied classical and Broadway music along with vocal lessons for 7 years. Autumn was always involved in school musicals and had the leading roles during her junior & senior years. She played Mary in Little Mary Sunshine and Hansel in Hansel & Gretel. She always earned first place medals at her local solo & ensemble competitions, leading her to state level every year. She never disappointed & brought home 1st place every time. During high school, Autumn was in a couple rock-n-roll bands that her parents had to accompany her to due to being under age. While this was a great learning experience, it was short lived. Her vocal instructor deeply frowned on "screaming" music while trying to perfect the art of her classical voice. She decided to follow that sound advice from her instructor as well as her parents. After high school Autumns sights were set on Nashville, Tennessee. Her first offer came from Robert Metzgar, who was with Capitol Management. Unfortunately it always came down to money & had to turn down the offer due to insufficient funding to launch such a project. She later signed in 1994 with Holton Music in Nashville where she cut two singles. "If Wishes Came True" & "I Owe it All to You" were pitched to local radio & national stations. These charted on the independent charts, just a few slots below country artist, Dan Seals. This of course was very exciting to Autumn & thought "I'm on my way". However this deal ended abruptly due to the untimely illness of her producer, Harvey Turner. Harvey left Nashville for Florida to recover & eventually retire. There is no denying her unique, strong, yet sweet vocals. Music City's well known & respected Carson Chamberlain reviewed her at a country music expo. After her showcase, he compared her to vocals to Dolly Parton, Pam Tillis, Vince Gill, & Willie Nelson for her unique vocals. He told her "your vocals are so unique that people will love you or hate you…..and I love you!" Her parents and her sister gave her the encouragement to continue on and follow her dreams. Some others that have influenced her as well are Patsy Cline, Whitney Houston, Marie Osmond, Judy Garland, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, and Celine Dion for their talents. And no one has impressed Autumn more for her stage presence than Reba McEntire. Autumn has been called many different names such as Eli Mae, Rebecca from Sunnybrook farm, Grace, Sis, and Farm Girl. She is able to consume all of these different sides of herself & blend them beautifully into each & every song she performs to make it part of who she is. Although she has a wide spectrum of vocal styles, she knows exactly who she is and where her heart lays….with country music.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Creating a complete environment for developing .NET applications that target Oracle requires a little planning and understanding of how Oracle connectivity works. You need to be methodical and test along the way so that you aren't trying to troubleshoot a multitude of interrelated problems at the end.
I've made several assumptions in writing this post:
Oracle provides you with three options for creating a local database server:
You might be able to configure Oracle XE to work on your 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 machine, but you are likely to waste a lot of time. You are trying to create a valid test environment. Your production application isn't going to be running on Oracle XE. Nor is it likely to be running on a 32-bit version of Oracle server. Realistically, a production Oracle application is running on a 64-bit version of Oracle server. That is why this post focuses on getting 64-bit Oracle server working on Windows 7.
I didn't provide an email address for notifications about security updates. If you do, you'll have to configure additional settings not shown in this post. I would definitely provide an email address if this was a production instance.
Figure 1. Oracle 11g R2 64-bit server installation screen with no email address provided.
If you don't provide an email address, you'll see the following warning.
Figure 2. Warning about not providing an email address.
Take the default option to create and configure a database.
Figure 3. Take the default option.
You want a starter database (it is called HR) because having one makes it easier to test the overall installation and configuration process that is the subject of this post.
Figure 4. Select Desktop Class.
My machine has multiple disk drives, so I installed Oracle to the D drive instead of C. Be sure to remember your administrative password.
Figure 5. Oracle Enterprise Edition being installed to the D drive.
I overrode the default on the Windows Security Alert and limited communication to private networks.
Figure 6. Windows Firewall.
Be sure to click the Password Management button.
Figure 7. Click the Password Management button.
Your HR sample database has a user named HR. By default this HR user account is locked. You will save yourself grief by scrolling down and unlocking the HR account as shown below.
Figure 8. Be sure to unlock the HR account.
Continue on with the installation dialog boxes until the installation process is done. Reboot. Do you need to reboot? Let's don't waste time arguing that point. I always reboot after installing Visual Studio, Oracle products, or SQL Server. As a developer you are going to reboot your machine sooner or later, maybe because you simply shut it down to conserve the battery or to be green. Before you begin testing and troubleshooting, your machine should be in its future state, not the just installed state. Reboot, okay?
Use SQL*Plus to test your database server configuration. You can either navigate to it or more easily just type sql in the search box and pick SQL Plus from the list.
Figure 9. Using search to find SQL*Plus.
Login to SQL*Plus using hr for both the user-name and the password.
SQL*Plus: Release 188.8.131.52.0 Production on Thu Dec 13 11:40:54 2012
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: hr Enter password: hr
Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 18.104.22.168.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
If you are unsuccessful in this basic connectivity test, then you need to resolve the problem before proceeding further. Obtain your Oracle error message an search for a solution. Posting to the Oracle Technology Forums is where I recommend starting. Stack Overflow is another place to post because I know that the ODP.NET team at Oracle posts there. The point is that you need to get help from people who understand Oracle.
Assuming that you remember the administrative password you entered during the server installation process, you can use the following syntax to reset an Oracle password, should the need arise. Notice that in SQL*Plus you terminate commands with a semicolon.
SQL*Plus: Release 18.104.22.168.0 Production on Thu Dec 13 12:23:43 2012
Enter user-name: system Enter password: passwordYouSpecifiedAtInstallTime
SQL> alter user hr identified by newPassword;
User altered.
With basic server connectivity verified, the next step in creating your local Oracle development and testing environment is to install ODP.NET, which is a 32-bit application. It does work with 64-bit Oracle server, but it does take an extra configuration step that is covered later.
Consistent with the keep it simple philosophy, only install the ODP.NET client components as shown below.
Figure 10. Installing ODP.NET client software.
If you see the following error dialog box, click the Ignore button. We want to keeps things simple.
Figure 11. Click the Ignore button.
When the installation of ODP.NET completes, reboot.
For your next test, you need to confirm basic ODP.NET client connectivity using a UDL file which bring up the Data Link Properties dialog box. Create a file called connectionTest.udl and put it on your desktop. Double click the UDL shortcut.
Figure 12. UDL file on desktop. Every developer needs a UDL file!
Select the Provider tab on the Data Link Properties dialog box. Select Oracle Provider for OLE DB and click the Next button.
Figure 13. Select the Oracle data provider.
On the Connection tab, enter ORCL for the data source and hr for the user name and password. Click the Test Connection button.
Figure 14. Testing client connectivity.
If all goes well, you should see the following message:
Figure 15. Confirmation of basic ODP.NET connectivity.
If you do not achieve success at this step, you must resolve the problem before attempting to connect through Visual Studio.
With all of this work done and successful tests completed, will you be able to connect to Oracle using Visual Studio? No. You will have an ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified error message.
Figure 16. Visual Studio doesn't know where to find ODP.NET.
Let's take a look at the filesystem to understand what's going on with the Oracle products that were installed.
Figure 17. ODP.NET is installed under the client_1 folder and the Oracle server is installed under the dbhome_1 folder.
SQL*Plus is resolving the location of the Oracle server by looking at the tnsnames.ora file under the dbhome_1 folder. On my machine, that specific location is the D:\app\John\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN folder.
Visual Studio is looking for a tnsnames.ora file under the client_1 folder. Specifically, on my machine, the location being searched is the D:\app\John\product\11.2.0\client_1\Network\Admin folder, which doesn't have a tnsnames.ora file.
Keeping in mind the simplicity principle, here are two easy ways to configure your machine so that Visual Studio connects to your database using ODP.NET.
To set a system environment variable, enter env in the search box and then select Edit the system environment variables.
Figure 18. Searching for the system properties dialog box.
Click the Environment Variables button.
Figure 19. Click the Environment Variables button on the Advanced tab of System Properties.
Notice that there isn't a TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
Figure 20. Click New under System variables to create a new system environment variable.
On my machine, the server's tnsnames.ora file is found in the D:\app\John\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN folder, which I pasted into the Variable value textbox. If Visual Studio was open before creating the environment variable, you'll need to close it and reopen it so that it can read the variable.
Figure 21. Setting the value for TNS_ADMIN.
Once you have enabled Visual Studio to find tnsnames.ora, go to the Server Explorer and select Add Connection.
Figure 22. Add Connection in the Server Explorer.
You must select your Oracle instance from the dropdown list. Since the default installation options were chosen, this should be ORCL.
Figure 23. Selecting the ORCL instance as the data source.
Enter the user name and password and test the connection.
Figure 24. Connection parameters ready to be tested.
Everything should work at this point.

The Oracle database is now fully exposed in Server Explorer.

OH MY GAWD. I Luv you. thank you so much. After i found out that SQLite is only good for local DB and mySQL doesnt have proper support for vs2012, this was my last option.
ty guy.. you save me a lot of time
nice article
Searched high and low for this. Can't thank you enough. That one system environment entry is not talked about anywhere else and is the key to making this work.
Thank u so much..It helped me alot !!!!
any secret on how to work with win 7 64 bit and ODAC 11 in both 32 and 64 bit worlds?
In my case setting Environmental Variable fixed my issue.
Thanks for the workaround!!!
Thank you for your wonderful work... I cannot say how happy I am ... After struggling for 2 days... it seems that I hit the jackpot.... Thank you so much......
You are FANTASTIC! I've had countless issues on multiple machines wasting days to eventually get it to work without knowing what I actually did to pull it off. I'll be bookmarking this page! GREAT WORK!
Believe me sir,
I thought i am a big idiot after not able to connect, but now, just because of your blog, i solved the problem as if it was a piece of cake :D
A million Thanks :)
I dont think your process is right,my computer's folder is right set ,but vs2012 also can't connect oracle
I haven't got enough words to thank u... great work there :)
Environmental Variable was the problem in my case..i just cud not find the solution anywhere else..thnx a lot
Gracias :)... me sirvio mucho uen aporte
Thank you very very much!
I have searched for this post very hard.
Hi John Paul Cook,
I'm new to this place/blog so pls forgive me if I'm posting this question at the wrong place.
I've installed VS2012 Ultimate + Oracle 11g + Oracle tool for VS2012(ODTwithODAC1120320_32bit.zip) downloaded from Oracle site.
The Problem -
I've followed the steps that you've shown above and for me as well it worked perfectly fine for creating a Data Connection, under the Server Explorer in VS2012. In VS2012 I can see my db tables and everything.
But problem arises when I try to create a ADO .NET Entity Data Model i.e.
I right Click on myProject >> Add >> New Item
Visual C# Items >> ADO.NET Entity Data Model
Here I add a Model.edmx then on next screen I select Generate from database, Click Next button, then I click the New Connection button and here I'm taken to the Choose Data Source window but I CANNOT see Oracle as the data source??? I can only see SQL Server entries namely these 4 -
1. Microsoft SQL Server
2. Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
3. Microsoft SQL Server Database File
4. <other>
Now I've been thru numerous forums (even Oracle forum) but none of them seem to explain clearly how to get Oracle as a data source here.
Can you please help me figure this out? I'd really appreciate any help on this matter.
And btw thanks to you for posting such a good tutorial(sort of) for integrating Oracle and Visual Studio
Thank you.
I faced a connection problem with my VS2012 application and my Oracle Database on a Virtual Machine under Windows 7 x64 : setting Environmental Variable TNS_ADMIN fixed my issue.
Thanks a lot !
Amazing timesaver! Thank you so much!
Unfortunately does not work anymore under windows 8.1
great job your article help me a lot in solving my problem
great job brother
tnks a lot
Thank you so much !

NOTE: The picture is inversed.
Hello, I used to be a huge Tamagotchi player, owning three of them:
- Chou Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi
- An old one in the 90's with bug pets
- One from 2004
Now, had this sudden feeling that I should find them, so I did. The only one I'm baffled by is the one from 2004 says it's version three, the color of it is blue, with white stripes, but there's no "connection" on the top of it, instead, it has two digits: "06," but I'm not really sure if it is, I'm pretty sure it's legit, because I remember I was able to enter tamatown and get stuff for my pet, here's a picture:
Does anybody know what kind of Tamagotchi this is?

We're not top chefs, but we sure know what tastes good. Just a little bit of this white truffle-infused olive oil will turn the most mundane dish delicious.
My husband is a huge fan of the truffle sensation. He orders anything if it has the word truffle in front of it. For his birthday, I ordered the black and white truffle oils. (I am not a fan). He LOVES both of them. Just a few drops mixed in the mashed potatoes or drizzled on grilled veggies transforms them to a yummy side you'd find at a nice restaurant. Don't be afraid to give it a try, just remember a little goes a LONG way!5
The ingredients read "olive oil, aroma" - does that mean it's just synthetic truffle oil smell? It smells and tastes sort of chemically even with minimal amount. It will likely need to be thinned out carefully over something crispy and salty like pop corn, using it in mac and cheese etc may highlight the sort of chemically synthetic flavor. Hm... jury is out on this one3
I love truffle oil and have purchased it many times from local grocery stores. However, this product is NOT truffle oil, and the quality is pretty bad. It smells very chemical and does not taste like normal truffle oil. I gave it as a gift and then was embarrassed by my gift when it was opened and I smelled it.1

KPL will join libraries, schools, and bookstores across the country in celebrating the freedom to read during "Banned Books Week," September 30 – October 6.
Bill and Judith Moyers are this year's honorary chairs. In this video essay, Bill Moyers talks about how libraries provided his first opportunity to indulge his love of reading and learning and shares his dismay over efforts to remove books from schools and libraries.
This week is an opportunity to remind us all that the ability to read, speak, think, and express ourselves freely is a right, not a privilege. Libraries often lead the efforts to speak out for the right to read; without the help of outspoken supporters, books are still being removed in some communities.
KPL and the American Civil Liberties Union will celebrate our right to decide for ourselves what to read, listen to, and view with a "Readout" on Thursday evening. Local literacy celebrities will read from frequently challenged books.
Join us at this event; celebrate and appreciate your freedom to read, listen, and view.

Ideas for using dried, dehydrated foods
How does drying keep food from spoiling?
Drying (dehydrating) removes enough moisture from food so that bacteria, yeast and molds cannot grow.
What are the benefits of drying food at home?
- You will save money. Keep in mind that food drying is a one-time cost. Canned foods, once opened, must be used promptly, but containers of dried foods can be repeatedly opened, ingredients removed or added, and closed again with no ill effects on the contents.
- Dried food is super-convenient because it can be eaten just the way it is.
- You are able to store more food in far less space than canned or frozen food.
- Gives you natural snacks with "extreme" flavor.
- Retains more nutritional quality than canned or frozen food.
- You will be able to reap the rewards of your own garden, but it will also allow you to take advantage of supermarket specials.
- Dried foods are tasty, nutritious, lightweight, easy to prepare, easy to carry, and easy to use.
How do I use dried food?
- Dried fruits can be eaten as nutritious snacks or soaked for 1 or 2 hours and used in favorite recipes.
- Fruits that dry well for snacks are apples, apricots, bananas and pears.
- Dried sliced vegetables can be eaten as tasty vegetable chips for dips.
- Vegetables can be added directly to soups or stews drawing on the liquid in the soup or stew for rehydration during cooking.
- Fruit leathers made from overripe fruit make nutritious snacks.
- Chop and dry green pepper, onion, celery, chives, etc., for use instantly all year.
- Make your own onion powder by drying onion slices until crisp and powder in the blender.
- Grate carrots for use in salads, carrot cake, soups, stews, or casseroles.

One point separates Seattle Sounders FC and New York Red Bulls in the MLS standings, and nothing at all separated them Sunday night at CenturyLink Field.
The clubs played to a rain-drenched 1-1 draw that kept New York atop the Supporters' Shield race while denying Seattle an early ticket to the playoffs.
"Anytime at home when we don't win, we think it's two points lost — this game or any other game," Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. "But for us you could look at it as a point gained, because they hit the post a couple of times and we could have had zero."
The match played out with two very different halves. Seattle took the lead, and had its best additional chances, in the first half. New York equalized and had its best additional chances in the second.
The Sounders' scoring sequence began in the 45th
minute, when New York defender Markus Holgersson was called for a hand ball in the penalty area. The Red Bulls disputed the call by referee Kevin Stott, but it stood.
Brad Evans took the penalty kick, beating Luis Robles low into the side netting. It was Evans' fourth goal this season, and he is now 7-for-7 on career penalty kicks.
"I always feel comfortable stepping up there," Evans said. "I've just got to keep it going and pick my spot and get it there."
But while Evans took advantage of his chance, the Sounders went to the locker room regretting missed opportunities, especially one by Obafemi Martins.
"We had some chances for sure," Schmid said. "Probably the best was when Eddie (Johnson) slipped past Robles near the edge of the 18 and crossed the ball, and Oba headed it wide. Obviously, we put that one in, I think that changes the complexion of the game."
The opportunities shifted New York's way in the second half. In the 61st minute, Holgersson put a shot off the crossbar. A minute later, Fabin Espindola hit the far post. In the 68th minute, Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning made a sliding save on a breakaway by Espindola.
In the 76th minute, New York broke through after the ball bounced around free in the penalty area before Tim Cahill got to it and curved it into the far netting.
"We didn't have our best game, and that's the result," Gspurning said. "They definitely deserved the point. It's not a good result for us. It's one point at least, but we know that we can play better soccer."
The game was played in steady rain and gusty wind.
"This weather was possibly the best thing that could've happened to us, to be honest with you," New York coach Mike Petke said. "Any type of disruption — although they are used to it here — but any time you can make the conditions and environment a bit ugly like this, you'll take it."
Both teams played without their best-known stars. Sounders designated player Clint Dempsey was held out with a lingering hamstring issue. Meanwhile, New York forward Thierry Henry remained in New York to avoid the wear and tear he receives from the FieldTurf surface.
New York moved to 15-9-7, and its 52 points are the most in MLS. Seattle (15-8-6) remains one point behind the Red Bulls and even with Real Salt Lake atop the Western Conference. A Sounders victory would have assured a spot in the playoffs, but now they will have to wait at least until Saturday when they visit the Colorado Rapids.
"There's no reason to panic," Schmid said. "We still have the games in hand. I know we've got some tough games coming up … but we've been put in tough situations before, and we've met them; and we've just got to stand up and meet them again."

It's not exactly news when somebody says Batavia could make better use of the Fox River, as did a committee in a 2010 report to the city about its downtown.
"Our residents have an intuitive understanding of the many extraordinary physical assets of our community. But we do not advertise these assets to visitors, nor use them for the economic benefit of our city," the report said.
Mayor Jeff Schielke has mixed feelings about that assessment.
"There has been quite a bit of forward movement," he said.
Schielke should know. The 66-year-old grew up in Batavia, and has been its mayor for 32 years. He recalls when its western bank was filled with factories, and can see a future when remaining industrial properties on the east bank are redeveloped in to commercial and retail space.
The past
Pleasure wasn't what drew white settlers to the Fox River in the first place. Availability of water for consumption and for power was the driving force. Batavia's riverfront featured factories and foundries, including windmill factories. In the 1870s, the town hand-dug a channel for the river so that it could have four frontages for factories, Schielke said.
The downtown had shops and taverns that primarily served residents, people who walked to work in those factories, he said, in districts east of the river and on Batavia Avenue.
The only dedicated downtown river-oriented recreational areas were Clark Island Park, which was developed in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration, and a private area on that west channel where people ice-skated, which was depicted in the 1950s on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post.
Major changes started to come in the late 1950s, when the town decided to close that second river channel. The U.S. Windmill and Engine Co. factory was razed and a shopping center was built. Eventually, several banks, a McDonald's and another strip shopping center were added where the channel ran.
In 1973 the city bought the 15-acre Appleton Windmill property on North Island Avenue. It eventually sold some of it for the Riverrain senior apartment building, with the proviso that the public retain access to the riverfront.
"They knew they were buying in the middle of a park," Schielke said.
The Kane County Forest Preserve District, meanwhile, had started acquiring the rights of way from the railroad lines that used to run along the river, turning them into recreational trails on both sides of the river, unlike towns to the north and south.
The city established tax-increment financing districts for parts of the downtown. It used TIF money to buy factories on the west bank, which were razed and turned into condominiums and town homes.
But as recently as the late 1980s, the area west of the Batavia Government Center was a junk-strewn lot next to the former city hall, which was in an industrial building. Schielke recalls seeing rats run right through council meetings, and aldermen scrambling to place buckets to catch roof leaks.
That changed in a major way with two projects.
One was when the city remodeled the remaining Appleton building into the current Batavia Government Center, containing city offices and the police department.
The second? The Batavia Riverwalk.
Pride and joy
It took eight years to build the Riverwalk, with volunteers' donations of time, sweat and money to pay for jobs they couldn't do themselves. It's a major point of civic pride.
Gardeners put in a wildlife sanctuary, a warming house called the Peg Bond Center was built and a band shell added to it in 2011. There's a playground, and it features a collection of the windmills that made Batavia famous.
It hosts several festivals each year, including the lighting of the town's Christmas tree, and is the start and finish line for many a charitable run. It was lined with thousands of candles twice for 9/11 memorials. And it has been connected to the east side of the river by a bicycle-and-pedestrian bridge.
The bicyclists are important to Batavia; Schielke said he has heard reports that as many as 5,000 can be seen on the trail on weekends, branching off to visit restaurants and coffee shops.
Looking ahead
The city doesn't intend to rest on its laurels.
It is in the midst of a multiyear streetscape improvement, in part aimed at getting its own residents to come down to the river more often.
Streets are getting brick sidewalks, seating areas, trees, decorative lighting, arches, wider sidewalks, prettier crosswalks and more. It started with a bang last year, turning North River Street from a conventional street to an all-in-one brick paver plaza-like thing called a woonerf.
The city encourages pedestrians to stop for a minute on the Wilson Street bridge, which has benches and sculptures.
But there are still challenges. You can't see the river in many places. And walking along it sometimes requires taking a flight of stairs.
The city wants to figure out a way to open up access on both private and public property. One of the best potential views is between the Batavia Government Center and a strip shopping center if brush and trees could be cleared and a stepped pavilion and riverside trail built, as proposed in the streetscape design.
The brush is a pet peeve of Schielke's. On a drive along North River Street, he pointed out a trail-side park bench that faces a wall of large bushes and scrubby trees. The city doesn't own the land. The same is true near the north dam; the best view comes from the back parking lot of a former factory.
He also pointed out properties on South River that the Batavia Park District has bought to make small parks, including one that will be a kind of informational spot for bicyclists passing through town.
Again, money
Much of the downtown streetscape improvements are being paid for with money from tax-increment financing districts, which freeze the assessed value of properties for purposes of paying taxes to local governments.
The money generated through higher property values is funneled back into improvements. And although the rest of the city's taxpayers technically then aren't paying, that hasn't stopped some criticism.
In particular, some residents were astounded when the city paid more than $117,000 to install a decorative arch at North River and Wilson. They questioned whether that would improve the value of properties in the TIF district, said it was ugly, and argued that businesses passed along their property tax costs to consumers.
The city council has argued recently about the price of implementing some of the designs and the cost of maintaining some of the items. Nevertheless, the city plans to continue work, with the rebuilding next year of Houston Street, which ends at the river.
The street needs rebuilding, whether or not decorative touches are added. Water Street, Shumway Avenue and First Street are also supposed to be spiffed up.
Schielke is confident, however, that the shift from the river's industrial past is ingrained; the emphasis on recreation, respecting the river environment, and integrating it to the town's economic development is strong.
"We've put the vision on the street for it," he said. "It's a pretty hard idea for anybody to change or resist."

Slimfast and match.com is gonna be appearing on most I bet.
Don't forget about the possibility of ads from local chiropractors!
It can play the moment you put your back out.
"Hi, this is Kinect Bob. I see you are screaming in agony and prone on the floor, would you like me to contact Dr. Friendly for you? Twitch to the left for YES".
Sony might "do this already", but difference between my PS3 and my XBox360 is that I loathe how 90% of the stuff on the screen of my XBox360 (upon logging in) are various ads...
Will not buy.
Will not buy.
Neither will I.
If there are advertisements, then the hardware and games should be free. If the user is paying for the hardware and games, there should be no advertisements.
I have this distant hope that gamers will learn the lesson taught to us by cable TV. Originally cable TV was ad-free on the basis that you were paying a fee for it. Then ads were introduced and for some reason, viewers tolerated it. They grabbed their ankles and took it just like they typically do, so cable TV ads became firmly entrenched.
Gamers, the same thing will happen to you if you put up with this. There can be no doubt about it.
Will not buy.
Neither will I.

Then ads were introduced and for some reason, viewers tolerated it. They grabbed their ankles and took it just like they typically do, so cable TV ads became firmly entrenched.
That's why I limit myself to cable TV packages that only have the local OTA stations (digital reception sucks). I'm not going to pay the cable carrier to show me ads on channels supposedly funded by cable fees, especially when ads are slowly taking up more time (not to mention full-length "infomercials").
The ads are a feature. Based on what the Kinect sees when you forget to turn it to the wall it will know whether to offer you medical services, viagra, penis enhancement pills, cheetos and hot pockets or flavored lube.
Note to self...hot pockets and cheetos flavored lube!
Microsoft's Skype, has a backdoor for the NSA to do stuff like live surveillance. This came out in the PRISM/CHESS documents.
So your XBox with its dual Kinect cameras sitting on the TV, and its always-on connections to the Internet could well also have an NSA back door to it, like Skype does.
Also from the Blackhat presentation, Skype is obfuscated code and may contain back doors beyond surveillance of calls, e.g. maybe they can turn mic/camera on remotely:
It's all very 1984 telescreen
Why are there even ads on the Xbox? After all you've:
A) Bought the console
B) Bought some games (presumably)
C) Quite possibly bought a gold membership
Now, I can understand something like when you go to the store to have maybe a little promo of "what's new" but beyond that, ads are unacceptable.
Except you don't buy anything anymore you don't own your xbox...games...service you license them. Suck it up or by an alternative product of which there is many. I have bought an OuYa.
Why do we still have ads on cable TV when it started with none decades ago?
Depends on your definition of "ad". To me, any kind of "information" about how much I'd love to watch some other show on their program which is thrown at me before, after, in between and at whatever other point they manage to squeeze it in DOES count as an ad.
At the very least once it has been repeated often enough that you can actually speak along to the announcer it's even surpassed the annoyance I usually get out of ads.
The answer to both questions is the same: because subscription revenue alone no longer covers the costs of content and distribution. Advertising is why XBL is $50/year for all of the services they provide instead of $200 for fewer services. Or to use a cable TV example, it's why every channel producing scripted content isn't $15/month like HBO.
Which is not to say it's a great outcome, but the public has shown time and time again that they'll accept advertising in exchange for staving off service cost increa
Problem is that all the "services" XBL provided for a fee, Sony provided for free on a PS3.
Everyone is convinced that earning $500 from a console sale is chump change compared to the pennies they can get from advertising!
Try typing that question into your Windows 8.1 search bar.
They play adverts, they monitor the kinect camera, and they can see which ads have an effect and are watched. XBox is an ads mans wet dream. Never mind that its a customers nightmare.
Also the possibilities for profit are endless:
Suppose you are in the UK and have an XBox with Kinect. NSA can legally spy on Brits, so it buys spy time on XBox Kinects to watch a target. Turns on the camera, gets its surveillance data and hey presto, leverage. Maybe a politicians family is in, the son is smoking pot, that's paydirt and you as customer brought the surveillance camera into your own home and wired it up yourself and even pay for the connection to the NSA!
Would Microsoft sell them access? Well it provided live Skype taps, message+voice+video taps on Skype. And Skype must have some business model we can't see to justify its $7 billion price. So yeh, damn right!
When I want a game console, what I actually want are advertisements! And the Xbox One offers interactive advertisements, no less! Sure, you could just play games to get your fill of interactive content, but why play games when you could watch ads? Who plays games, anyway? Certainly not people who buy the Xbox One; they'll be too busy with ads.
Hello, this is the Sarcasm Detector. [slashdot.org] Your post has been flagged as "sarcastic" and will be deleted in 1 minute. If you are receiving this in error, please immediately gesture to your Kinect in a non-sarcastic manner. Thank you, and now a word from our sponsors before your game begins.
*gives manual binary-4 salute*
Non-sarcastic enough?
There's only one gesture I can think of doing to the kinect in this case.
I'll say it again:
The primary purpose of the XBox One is to be a platform for selling ads. On the one hand, publishers no longer need to solicit for static advertising in games, now they can have Microsoft be the entire advertising platform. It's like embedding a Google ad on your blog and collecting the revenue, only now on a HUGE scale. On the other hand, no longer do advertisers need to pay a ton for static ads on pre-releae titles, hoping that the ad retains enough relevance to be beneficial to their business. Publishers win, Microsoft wins, and advertisers win. Welcome to the future!
Kinect is all about generating advertising hints. It just is. There's no other sane reason why it supposedly cannot be turned off. It's there to collect hints on your environment, feed them to the Bing ad platform, and generate in-game ads as a result.
The always-on, regularly dial-home connectivity scheme was all about exchanging advertising hints for ads. Microsoft can capture advertisers by guaranteeing nearly real-time freshness of their advertising.
And lastly, the "co-process in the cloud" is all about advertising. Polygons aren't going to be rendered in the cloud, ad textures are. Turn that off and I bet there will be a lot of empty textures in just about every XB1 game that comes out, from AAA titles to $5 throw-aways.
Microsoft is selling you to the advertisers. It's just as simple as that.
Yup. MS said so themselves.
Xbox One built for ads from the ground up [sticktwiddlers.com]
So what about the future of advertising on the Xbox One? "It's going to be an exciting transition though because the 360 console wasn't built with advertising in mind, it was more of an afterthought, so we've had to adapt to the technology and how we work to fit them in to the console," said Technical Account Manager for Xbox LIVE Advertising, "whereas this new one is going to have advertising in mind. So a lot of the limitations that we have now, hopefully the release of the boundaries will widened so the opportunities will be a lot greater."
So will I have to run in place for ten seconds to skip a weight loss ad and play my game?
It's all about the camera. The one in your living-room. Considering who Microsoft is working with these days, do you really want a camera in your living-room?
Here's the new screen layout:
http://codinghorror.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86dd2e5970b-pi [typepad.com]
To some degree we are getting there (it's worse on the XBox 360):
http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/r/story/70/00/002993/original/w8rtm-windows-8-start-620x.jpg?hash=MwZ2ZmL2AQ [zdnet.com]
And Mike Judge is a god in my mind: Idiocracy, Office Space (I wore a suit for a few years early on) and Beavis and Butthead.
Anyway, I have to get back to Aww my Balls. Stop interrupting me. You broke my apartment.
Looking at a still photo of the XBox One screen just made me realize... it finally dawned on me where Microsoft got the idea for the start screen tiles on XBox and Windows 8.
It's the Wii. All they've done is let you have some of the boxes be bigger than the others - but it's basically the Wii's interface that Nintendo released in 2006.
Even the ads. The Wii used the boxes for the Shop to advertise stuff you could buy.
Need I say more?
Why does my Xbone keep serving me ads for lotion and tissues? Surely it can see I already have plenty at hand.
The Xbox One recognizes your face. It knows if you're watching. They're in a position to insist that you watch the ads. Leave during an ad, and everything pauses until you get back to finish watching the ad.
"It sees you when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake. It knows if you've been bad or good."
Let's get this straight, for those of you still too thick to understand what Microsoft is doing.
- the console refuses to function UNLESS the Kinect sensor system is fully operational
- attempts to cover the Kinect camera lenses or point Kinect at a wall cause the console to immediately pester the user to 'recalibrate' Kinect
- Microsoft insists that every app and game uses Kinect input to a certain degree, even if this means an optional input mechanism for menu screens. There are ZERO games and apps that will
I'm fine with this as long as there are enough alternate scenes so that at any point in time I can say, "Kill yourself." and all on-screen characters will suddenly find creative ways to do so.
This would be endlessly entertaining.
I would be telling my friends which commercial to watch and when to say something.
Maybe that's the future of commercials: viral Easter Egg hunts.
(No, I don't actually think this is a ad integration is a good thing.)
Apparently it needs to be connected for hte xbox to work. But can't you just put a sock over it? Congrats MS.. you get a first hand look at what the inside of my sock looks like... 24/7.
The Orwellian parallel is the TVs in 1984 which couldn't be turned off and could spy on you. People in the book used to put curtains over the TVs when they weren't using them. But they couldn't turn them off. They'd just sit there all day and all night... and you had to put a curtain over them if you wanted any sleep. Do the same with this stupid connect device. Put a sock over it.
Or do the really bright thing and don't buy it. MS is not providing what the consumer wants. This is not an honest product.
It's not advertising, it's a new form of achievements.

TMC, NASHVILLE -- Noregon Systems launched a multi-brand vehicle diagnostics and repair product called First Step Service Advisor, and announced the JPro Command Module for Mack and Volvo trucks. Both systems examine all of a truck's electronic control units to find problems that may have caused malfunctions in components that appear to be defective but are not, according to two years of studies.
"The primary discovery was that 57% of all trucks that were repaired and sent back into service had significant, undiagnosed fault codes or vehicle issues that were not detected using traditional diagnostic and repair processes," said Greg Reimmuth, Noregon's senior vice president of sales and marketing, in a press conference at the Technology and Maintenance Council's annual meeting in Nashville Sunday.
"We have also developed metrics showing that only around 15% of all non-warranty repairs require OEM software. The large majority are fixed with the diagnostic trouble linked to troubleshooting and repair information, parts and a wrench."
Noregon studies also showed that the traditional one-component-at-time approach using OEM software, referred to as "serial diagnostic routines," cannot see other problems with a vehicle's health. It is time0consuming and can result in the misdiagnosis of a root cause, Noregon says.
A common example is when a reported problem with engine or transmission performance was actually identified as an issue with a related body or chassis controller. In this case, it would require a total vehicle scan to identify the root cause of the problem.
"There are 38,000-plus fault codes on today's truck," Reimmuth continued. "The typical approach is for technicians to use multiple, separate OEM tools in their diagnosis of vehicle issues only when a dash light or driver complaint points to utilization of the respective suspected component diagnostic tool.
"So they tend to isolate on the things reported on the work order, since doing a total vehicle scan with multiple tools is not possible in some cases or practical in a large majority.
"So while they are fixing an obvious issue on one component, it is highly likely that issues, some serious, on other components exist and go unnoticed. The bottom line is that most of today's shops and technicians don't have the visibility they need to properly identify and repair vehicles."
Step one of Noregon's process uses First Step, a tablet-based diagnostic program that allows service writers and shop foremen to connect to a truck in less than a minute, and receive a complete vehicle health report on the vehicle's electronically controlled components, including engine, transmission, anti-lock braking system and body controllers.
It works on all Class 7 and 8 makes and models, plus medium-duty Ford, General Motors and Sprinter trucks, he said.
First Step automatically captures the vehicle identification number, ECU serial numbers and thousands of data points, and records information from a walk-around inspection. A fault guidance feature shows the severity of a fault and the effect on the vehicle.
It automatically documents vehicle health information, avoiding manual entry during the estimating process, and provides the customer with documentation of vehicle health information before repairs.
It makes the correct repair by clearly identifying the root cause, selects the right parts to be replaced the first time, avoids misdiagnosis, and enhances technician efficiency.
Next, JPRO Commercial Vehicle Diagnostics, or CVD (which was formerly called Fleet Diagnostics), scans the entire vehicle and provides technicians with detailed OEM diagnostic codes. Technicians use that information to find the root cause of the problem and begin the repair process. JPro CVD works on all heavy-duty makes and models.
Noregon is releasing JPro CVD 2014 v1. In conjunction with that, the company is releasing the JPro CVD Command Module for Mack trucks and Volvo trucks. This is an add-on package that allows bi-directional testing on controls for 2007 and newer Mack trucks and Volvo trucks with Mack and Volvo engines.
It handles manual regeneration of diesel particulate filters; a cylinder cut-out test for fuel injectors; testing road and cruise control speeds; setting parameters for idle shutdown times; and resetting trip data.
The software also generates trip report information, including total running time and distance, fuel economy, average driving speed, idle times, hard braking and other data related to vehicle driver performance.
For fleet managers and technicians who work exclusively on Mack or Volvo trucks, and do not need JPro CVD's all-makes and -models functionality, Noregon is offering a "stand-alone" software module called Truck Diagnostic System.
That and the JPro CVD Command Module for Mack or Volvo trucks are sold as annual subscription-only software modules. The software remains active, and regular updates and tech support are provided, with a current subscription. Activation requires a one-year minimum user's license agreement.
Finally, there's the JPro Next Step Service Information Module, which automatically ties diagnostic trouble codes to repair information. Once a trouble code is found, the technician activates Next Step and a new window opens containing service information associated with the specific code.
Technicians literally take the "next step" from a trouble code to repair information in 30 seconds or less, Reimmuth said.
Information displayed includes information for Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, International, Mack, Volvo and Mercedes engines; OEM trouble shooting guides for Eaton Fuller, Meritor WABCO, Bendix and Haldex components.
JPro CVD 2014 v1, Noregon First Step Service Advisor, JPRO CVD Command Module for Mack trucks and Volvo trucks, and the Truck Diagnostic System are all available for sale beginning early in the second quarter of the year.
Customers can visit www.truckdiagnosticsystem.com beginning March 14 to place pre-orders. The site will also feature several existing JPro products such as fleet service kits, adapters, cables and other replacement parts.

Rainbow Sand
In keeping with our Rainbow theme,
the Frog Princess and I thought it would be fun
to try to make Rainbow Sand
in our (outdoor) sand table.
It seemed like a good idea at the time
I'll say this. We tried it.
The sand looked really cool for a few minutes.
I used liquid watercolor.
The problem with liquid watercolor
is that it turns back into liquid watercolor
and stains EVERYTHING
each time it touches water.
Look how pretty it was...before.
Then the colors started to bleed into each other,
they turned into a muddy blue gray color...
our hands turned a dark blue/purple/gray color.
the water turned a dark blue/purple/gray color.
the sand table turned a dark/purple/gray color.
I didn't take a photo of this.
I didn't want to stain my camera!!
We emptied the sand out, and put a fresh bag in the box.
Oh well. At least we tried it, and learned something new.
So much for ARTsy sand.
Maybe We'll Just Stick to Moon Sand when we want color!!

Stephen Moore should be Wallabies captain at 2015 Rugby World Cup, says Nathan Sharpe
Former Test skipper Nathan Sharpe has declared hard-nosed Wallabies stalwart Stephen Moore tailor-made to lead Australia through to next year's Rugby World Cup.
Moore is the firming front-runner for the captaincy, to be announced by coach Ewen McKenzie on Monday, and Sharpe believes the timing is perfect for the 31-year-old to finally ascend to the throne.
The Brumbies hooker is nine years older than the other prime contender, flanker Michael Hooper, and has never been made captain at Super Rugby or Test level.
A long-time former team-mate with Queensland and the Wallabies, Sharpe hinted Moore's "direct" style as a long-time standard-bearer did not always make him the most popular team-mate.
But the 116-Test lock argued the in-form rake possessed all the strong attributes required to lead the way in a 16-month run towards the showpiece tournament in England.
"He can be a bit abrasive at times but I think given the accountability of being captain he would do a fantastic job for the Wallabies going into the World Cup," he said.
"I think the timing couldn't be any better for him to take over the reins.
"I really like to see someone serve a long apprenticeship ... and he's always been there or thereabouts in leadership groups."
Moore appeared poised to take the Brumbies captaincy in 2012 but Jake White surprised by choosing New South Wales recruit Ben Mowen.
Ironically, it is Mowen's looming move to Montpellier which has left the Wallabies job vacant to leave McKenzie with a choice between Moore, Hooper, James Horwill and Will Genia before next week's first Test against France.
Sharpe captained Moore when he cut his teeth in Super Rugby at the fracturing Reds in 2005 and also when the second-rower ended his Wallabies career under Robbie Deans in 2012.
He said few players harboured more pride in playing for the Wallabies or were more professional in their approach than the 91-Test veteran.
"You have to have a guy that lives and breathes what he speaks and Steve does that," Sharpe said.
"He understands what a winning culture takes. He's been in teams that have done it well and he's been in teams that have done it poorly.
"He has a tremendous amount of pride in the Wallabies jersey which is something that is really important."

European Commission
Olli REHN
Vice-President of the European Commission and member of the Commission responsible for Economic and Monetary Affairs and the Euro
Vice-President Rehn's remarks at the Eurogroup Press Conference
Eurogroup Press Conference/Brussels
13 November 2012
Thank you Jean-Claude.
Ladies and gentlemen, Jean-Claude Juncker rightly drew your attention to the reform programmes of the Netherlands and France, which we discussed today in the meeting. They are indeed very substantial programmes of both fiscal consolidation and restoring competitiveness and we broadly welcome these and will come back to these programmes later on in the course of this year.
As regards Greece, as Christine Lagarde said, the EU-IMF troika provided its report on compliance by Greece with its fiscal policy and structural reform commitments. The progress that has been made towards agreeing a disbursement of the next tranche – and it is substantial progress – has been made possible by the Greek government and Greek parliament, the Greek people, by their commitment to deliver on Greece's obligations under the programme and to revamp the reform effort. Words have been backed by deeds. Especially the adoption by the Greek parliament of the package of structural reforms last Wednesday and the 2013 budget on Sunday night are essential.
In fact, if you look at the Greek programme, I would like to make one point on fiscal and another one on structural issues.
On fiscal consolidation, the improvement in Greece's structural budget balance has already exceeded the 10 percentage points required at the start of the first programme in May 2010 for the period from 2009 to 2014. In fact, Greece has already improved its structural balance by no less than 13 percentage points of GDP since 2010. And this margin will increase further with the implementation of the additional measures foreseen for 2013 and 2014. I hope that all those who openly dismiss the potential of this programme to restore fiscal sustainability in Greece will dwell on these figures.
Moreover as regards structural reforms, it is time to debunk the perception that no progress has been made. This perception is damaging, it is unfair, and it is simply wrong. I will cite just three areas in which important progress has been made.
First, in the healthcare sector, measures to control over-prescriptions and fraud mean that public expenditure will have fallen by €1 billion (or around 25%) this year, and should fall by a further €800 million over the next two years. Greece now has in place one of the most advanced electronic prescriptions systems in Europe, which has delivered monthly savings of around €30 million since the start of this year.
Second, a series of reforms to the pension system have now increased the statutory retirement age to 67 years, introduced a link to life expectancy. In two years, Greece has moved from having a pension system that was clearly unsustainable, to one whose medium-to-long-term sustainability is guaranteed.
Third, extensive reforms to the labour market have already led to a substantial improvement in cost competitiveness. Greece is on track to meet the target set out in the Memorandum of Understanding of a 15% reduction in unit labour costs between 2012 and 2014. By the end of this year, all of the competitiveness loss experienced by Greece between 2001 and 2009, relative to the rest of the euro area, will have been recouped.
All of this is not to deny that there have been difficulties and delays. Nor is it to minimise the challenges that lie ahead. But it is right and necessary to recognise how far Greece has come in terms of fiscal reforms, and in the most of trying of circumstances for the Greek people.

Abbey of New Clairvaux | Photo Source: www.newclairvaux.org
Thinking about what it'd be like to really unwind—no cell phone, no Wi-Fi, no flatscreen TV? For your next vacation, go Zen with a monastery stay. You don't have to take a vow of poverty—many are deluxe—and the personal gains can be immense. Lauren Lyons Cole reveled in her stay at a Japanese monastery.
The biggest surprise—aside from the mat in lieu of a bed? The hospitality, she says. "I'm not a Buddhist, and I wasn't sure I'd feel comfortable," Lyons Cole says. "But they were excited to have me—they even brought me a huge platter of food as a 'welcome snack.'"
You don't have to hop the Pacific to escape the fray. Stateside cloisters include sprawling Buddhist monasteries with guided retreats (like Colorado's Shambhala Mountain Center) and peaceful Benedictine abbeys—like the Abbey of New Clairvauxin California, which even has its own vineyard.
Most monasteries accept any visitor, regardless of religious belief. Just expect to respect the way of life (hint: read the retreat guidelines carefully).

Hi all,
I'm using xfce4.8 on Debian wheezy (dpkg xfce 220.127.116.11). Initially I only had GNOME3, but did'nt like unity and installed xfce from the debian repos.
My problem is: The mouse jumps in the direction I point it to instead of smoothly moving there. It's like ->...........----------------........... with the dots being normal cursor movement while during the - signs, the mouse cursor isn't shown at all, it just re-appears at the next dots.
Sometimes, it also slows down, like the system is under so high load that it can't display the mouse cursor movement properly.
I checked that high load is not the problem, system is almost idle in these situations.
I use a Thinkpad T400, my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf is:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
What can I do to troubleshoot this or is this a known issue? I didn't find, perhaps due to wrong search terms (not native in English)...
Thank you in advance
From the Main Menu, go to Applications->Settings->Mouse. Look at Feedback on the Device tab; your Acceleration setting is probably too high.

Any advice in this post is worth exactly what you paid for it.
Checked that, Acceleration is 2.0. The problem is that I can't reproduce the issue, it sometimes "just happens". Wouldn't it be a persisting problem instead of an intermittent one if it had to do with the Acceleration setting though?

Officer keeps animals under control
Newton Animal Control Officer Dustin Grant isn't your average dog catcher.
Yes, he manages the city's stray cats, dogs and the occasional wild hog, but if you've got a complaint about a neighbor's pesky unkempt grass, he manages that, too.
"We handle a lot of dogs running loose, especially in summertime," Grant said. "But there's more to it than that."
As the city's only animal control officer, Grant responds to and addresses residents' animal complaints, as well as city code violations.
Grant receives anywhere from three to 12 service calls daily. The complaints range from a stray dog on someone's property to violations of the city's nuisance code, which include junk vehicles in residents yard and grass growing higher than 15 inches.
"Some days you have your slow days, and some days you have your busy days," he said. "It really just depends on the situation."
He said people are surprised to discover how many service calls he responds to on a regular basis, and sometimes he's even surprised by what he finds on a service call.
Grant once received a service call from a woman who claimed she had a pig running loose in her backyard.
When Grant arrived at the residence, he realized the pig was actually a 200-pound wild hog, and it took another officer to help Grant wrangle the animal and remove it from the property.
"That's probably the strangest animal I've ever caught," he said.
Unlike stereotypical dog catchers of the past, Grant doesn't carry a net to capture stray creatures. He uses a catch pole with a loop around the end to corral larger animals, and he also has a metal pole for capturing snakes.
After he captures stray animals and secures them in cages in the back of his animal control truck, Grant takes the animals to the Catawba County Animal Shelter.
Of all the animals Grant helped control throughout his career, he's been bitten once.
"I was bitten by a cat," he said.
Any possible risk for rabies is accessed on a case-by-case basis.
"I can pretty much tell what the potential for rabies is," he said. "If it's a known risk, then you'd get a rabies shot."
Sometimes, the animal control and code enforcement aspects of Grant's job coincide.
He once responded to a complaint of stagnant water in a resident's yard, and when he arrived at the location, he found a missing animal that drowned and decayed in the stagnant water.
"The smell was terrible," he said.
The economic downturn forced some pet owners to abandon their animals, and Grant has seen that effect his job as animal control officer.
"The number of stray animals has definitely increased since I've been here," he said.
Most city residents are receptive to Grant's work when he removes stray animals from their property, but it's when Grant addresses a complaint that things often change.
If you're the person someone's complained on, they really don't like it," he said.
Grant has worked for the Newton Police Department for more than two years, but he's always loved being around animals.
"I've had animals all my life," he said.

Are you sure its not 2038? I'm sure she won't live 300 years. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 05:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well, actually, I think that's the joke, i.e. her sentence is so ridiculously long (300 years) that she could never really serve it in her lifetime, and will spend her natural life in prison. EganioTalk 06:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, OK, I get it now! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 06:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
from are perceptive Elizabeta Torres sentence seem silly but in the Grand Theft Auto World she might serve her sentence under suspended animation Chip2007 he may be right i saw this movies about a cop who was sentence in a chryoprison cant remenber name but its plausable--Chip2008 16:39, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- When it was a joke I got it, but I have no idea what your trying to say. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 06:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
we no in the GTA perspective things are different aprt from place names and a new US geography to understand scientific understanding maybe different such as undertanding chryogenics maybe years ahead of the real world for example 300 years maybe an eternity but under susbended animation it will be 24 hours Chip2007 october 16 4:56PM WET
- People often serve multiple sentences back-to-back. In this case it means she is locked up for a maximum of 300 years. Obviously she won't live that long, so she'll die in prison. That is the sentence, and that happens regularly in the real world. Just the same as if an 80 year old man gets a 10 year sentence, or if a younger person dies during a short sentence. There is nothing in the game relating to scientific understanding or suspended animation, so drop the nonsense. Gboyers talk 17:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I just received a message from Chief frank 001 pointing out that GTA IV is set in 2007, not 2008. So which year is the game set in? A-Dust 03:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think it was originally supposed to be set in 2007 but R* changed it when the release was delayed. I will check some Liberty tree articles later to see if they have dates. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I've just checked a few minutes ago on the police database and indeed it said 2008 so perhaps like said giggest gta fan ever R* changed the timeline CF001
It's set in 2008, as that's the year Niko immigrated to the USA :P Kandreik
Where Roman was born
Just curious, how are we certain that Roman was born in the Balkan Peninsula? I used to assume he was born in Yugoslavia, like Niko.
Yep that's where he was born.. cause in-game dialogue says that Niko had his house next to Roman's..Kandreik
Rusty Browns Donuts?
It says the first shop was opened in Vice City. What does that have to do with Liberty City? --Chimpso 09:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- What do you mean what it has to do with Liberty City? The first shop was opened in Vice City, and the owner extended in Liberty City.. just as there is a Maisonette 9 owned by Tony in London Kandreik
"Something similar to 9/11 happens to Liberty City, this is mentioned in a politcal advertisement."
What political ad? Where can I see it?
- My audio is glitchy right now, so I can't check to see which one to give you a link, but just search "John Hunter GTA" on YouTube; you'll find it. --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I have heard it somwhere too. But I have dial-up so I will never go on youtube. You can search though. --Chimpso 02:21, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I found the video you said GuildKnight but I don't think it has nothing similar to 9/11. So this sentence "Something similar to 9/11 happens to Liberty City, this is mentioned in a politcal advertisement." needs to be removed.
- Okay, it says, "Maybe Michael Graves has forgotten the tragic events a few years ago, but we haven't." So you're right, it suggests, but never says explicitly. --GuildKnightTalk2me 23:09, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

On the Set of 'Black Swan'
The buzz that has been swirling around the new movie Black Swan began well before the trailer was released. It was going to be dark and disturbed. Director Darren Aronofsky (who also directed The Wrestler) is known for incorporating the entire scene, actor, and environment, to create the mood of the film.

Friday, February 13, 2009
OLDSMAR, Fla. (February 13, 2009) A Pick 6 carryover of $33,783.63 ushers in tomorrow's Festival Preview Day Presented by Lambholm South, the premiere day of February racing at the Oldsmar oval. The Festival Preview Day Presented by Lambholm South card is highlighted by the Grade III $225,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes for three-year-olds, the Grade III $125,000 Endeavour Stakes for fillies and mares four years old and up on the turf, and the $75,000 Suncoast Stakes for fillies three years old.
Hall of Fame Jockey Kent Desormeaux will join track announcer Richard Grunder at 10 AM on the first floor of the Grandstand tomorrow for Morning Glory. Grunder and Desormeaux will be available to answer fans' questions, and there will be complimentary coffee, donuts and admission to the afternoon's races.
Carlos Montalvo has been named the Hilton Garden Inn Jockey of the Month following an extremely successful first half of the 2008-2009 racing season at Tampa Bay Downs. The reinsman has haltered 29 wins, 22 seconds and 23 third place finishes from 164 starts for $370,871 in purses earned through 40 days of racing, making him the fourth leading rider overall at the Oldsmar oval.
One of the highlights of Montalvo's meet thus far has been his victory in this year's running of the Gasparilla Stakes, in which he guided Will Farish and Mrs. William S. Kilroy's homebred Rock Candy to the Winner's Circle for trainer Michael Zwiesler. Montalvo will have the call to ride the three-year-old Mineshaft filly in February 14's $75,000 Suncoast Stakes, a major prep for March 14's Grade III $200,000 Florida Oaks, which leads to May 1's Grade I Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs.
Carlos Montalvo was born on November 10, 1978 in Mexico City, Mexico, and began riding there at age 18. The very first horse he rode in a race was his first winner. The horse was aptly named Irun, and since then Carlos Montalvo has kept up his winning ways: he finished the 2007-2008 Tampa Bay Downs racing season as sixth leading rider; furthermore, Montalvo is ranked 34th among the nation's leading jockeys, only two places below this year's Eclipse-award winning rider Edgar Prado.
Montalvo lives in Oldsmar, and his family includes his parents and his sister Fatima. During the Tampa Bay Downs off-season, he is a reinsman at both Hawthorne Racecourse in Chicago, IL and Calder Race Course in Miami. When he's not in the irons, Montalvo is a dedicated dancer and says that he can't pick a favorite dance. He says that he loves riding here because, among many reasons, "it's just great to be here, especially in the winter when my friends up north are freezing!"
Racing resumes tomorrow, February 14 with a twelve race card; there is a Pick 6 carryover of $33,783.63. The Silks Poker Room is open daily from 12:30 PM through 12:30 AM, and The Downs Golf Practice Facility is open on Mondays from 10:00 AM through 10:00 PM and on Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 AM through 10:00 PM.

Anonymous Takes Down Turkish Government Site 117
arisvega writes with word that the group of hackers known as Anonymous "has taken down a Turkish government website in a protest against recently introduced Internet filters that many consider to be censorship. They also appear to have published a manifesto. Turkey has a long history of Internet censorship, with the country's ISPs having blocked YouTube and numerous other sites in the the past couple of years." From the linked manifesto: "(The Turkish government) has blocked thousands of websites and blogs while abusive legal proceedings against online journalists persist. The government now wants to impose a new filtering system on the 22nd of August that will make it possible to keep records of all the people's internet activity. Though it remains opaque why and how the system will be put in place, it is clear that the government is taking censorship to the next level."

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Pat Quinn announced an $8.6 billion construction program Wednesday to improve roads and bridges in Illinois.
Federal money will be used to cover the six-year program, unveiled by the Chicago Democrat at the state Capitol, with about $1.5 billion from the state and local municipalities.
Quinn says the program would improve 1,845 miles of highway and replace or rehab 384 bridges.
Projects include $29 million to reconstruct Illinois 2/North Main Street in Rockford; $585 million for new Metra commuter cars; $222 million for a new passenger rail service between Chicago and Moline; and $74 million for Interstate 70 resurfacing and bridge work in the Effingham area.
An unspecified amount would be earmarked to continue land acquisition and pursue final approval from the Federal Aviation Administration of a south suburban airport.
Quinn also wants to form a bipartisan working group to develop plans for crafting a capital bill, and coming up with ways to fund it, in the next six weeks, with a structure similar to the 10-member committee that was instrumental in developing a plan to overhaul the state's pension funds.
"I want to hear their ideas," Quinn said. "We have ideas as well. Clearly what we did five years ago was historic."
The Legislature passed the last $31 billion capital construction program in 2009. It was paid for through legalizing video poker; raising taxes on candy, liquor and beauty products; and by privatizing the Illinois lottery.
