As Tigers manager Jim Leyland has said, his club is extraordinarily impressive in regard to names on the back of its uniforms.
The Tigers� batting order is probably the best in major league baseball. Ditto for the Tigers� starting pitching rotation. The bullpen has several proven major league-caliber relievers. The Tigers have good depth.
What stands out is a glaring hole at closer. While it sounded great in theory a couple months ago that the Tigers would simply replace departed closer Jose Valverde with hard-throwing rookie Bruce Rondon, the reality of the situation as spring training approaches isn�t nearly promising.
Rondon is still regarded as �the leading candidate� for the closer spot, according to general manager Dave Dowbrowski. Yet, if Rondon isn�t the closer, than who are the other candidates?
Leyland did address the issue at TigerFest Saturday, pointing out what the other �candidates� for the spot don�t bring to the table as potential closers more than what they would.
Phil Coke closed in the postseason, but Leyland isn�t sure how he�d hold up in the spot over a long period. Coke�s playoff success does appear to be more of aberration than a trend. His WHIP (walks per innings pitched) has been above 1.4 every year he has been with the Tigers, including above 1.6 last season (the MLB average was 1.3). In the regular season, he has a total of six saves in his career, and his lifetime ERA is above 4.00.
Leyland expressed concern about Joquin Benoit�s ability to hold up physically to the demands of closing, and Octavio Dotel�s ability, at 39, to fill that role.
Leyland wasn�t knocking his pitchers. He was only stating the obvious. All are quality major leaguers, but in specific bullpen roles other than closer. Taking them out of those roles wouldn�t only be unlikely to solve the closer dilemma, but would weaken the Tigers� bullpen strength down the line.
The fan favorite to close would be Al Alburquerque. He has garnered phenomenal statistics (85 strikeouts in 56 innings, a 1.59 ERA, a solid WHIP), but the Tigers are very cautious about his health. Last season, he missed most of the year with an elbow injury. He didn�t pitch at anytime with less than two days rest. There is a comfort zone in not closing for Alburquerque. The Tigers want to leave him in it. Those are the reasons why neither Leyland or Dombrowski ever mention his name when the subject of potential closers arises.
Dismissing Rondon would be unwise. If the best clubs only relied on proven commodities to fill open spots, there would never be an influx of younger players, and roster balance would be skewed. Closer is an iffy role even if a veteran is traded for or signed. Veteran relief pitchers tend to move in and out of the role. It�s why Tigers� fans scorn for the displaced Jose Valverde is misplaced. Yes, he did meltdown in the playoffs, and many of his saves were more like watching a high-wire act than a baseball game. But he was relatively consistent as a Tiger overall, and brilliant in 2011.
Rondon throws 100 mph. He has a free and easy motion, unlike the violent delivery that caused former Tigers� hard-thrower Joel Zumaya so many arm troubles.
While arm strength isn�t a problem, command of the baseball might be (eight walks in nine Triple-A innings). So is lack of experience (Rondon has never thrown a pitch in the major leagues). And there is the intangible factor nobody knows. Closers must have short memories because fans have long ones, seldom recalling the routine saves, but always remembering the blown opportunities.

My daughter, Kellie, recently bought a nice little house with a nice big coat closet by the front door. The problem is, since the garage is in the back, everyone, including the dog, uses the back door.
I designed and built these hide-the-mess lockers with people like Kellie in mind. Each locker is big enough to stash a coat, backpack, boots, hats, and odds and ends that normally wind up on the floor. Since they're modular and space efficient, you can build one for each member of the family—including the dog (leashes, toys, food, you name it). Now everyone has a personal place for stashing stuff—and the responsibility for keeping it organized.
The louvered door is made from one of a pair of closet bifold doors, which you can buy at almost any home center. Since the doors come in pairs and you can get two locker "boxes" from each sheet of plywood, you'll make the best use of materials by building them in twos. Here's how to do it.
My total materials cost was just under $100 per locker. Since I was planning to paint the lockers, I used inexpensive "AC" plywood. If you plan to stain your lockers, and use hardwood plywood such as oak or birch and hardwood doors, you'll spend about $150 per locker. On a row of the mudroom lockers, only the outer sides of the end lockers show, so you can use inexpensive plywood for the inner parts and more expensive material for the outer parts. Expect to spend at least a day buying materials, rounding up tools and building a pair of lockers. Set aside another day for finishing.
A table saw is handy for cutting up plywood, but a circular saw with a guide will provide the same results (see Two Essential Saw Cutting Guides). You'll also need a miter saw to cut the screen molding. A finish nailer will help you work faster, but hand-nailing will work too as long as you drill holes to prevent splitting.
There are a variety of bifold doors available. If you need more ventilation, use full louvered doors; if ventilation isn't an issue, use solid doors. The doors you buy may not be exactly the same size as mine, so you may have to alter the dimensions of the boxes you build. Here are two key points to keep in mind as you plan your project:
- You want a 1/8-in. gap surrounding the door. So to determine the size of the box opening, add 1/4 in. to the height and width of the door. Since my bifold doors measured 14-3/4 x 78-3/4 in., I made the opening 15 x 79 in.
- To determine the depth of the shelves, subtract the door thickness from the width of the sides (including the 1/4-in. screen molding). My doors were 1-1/8 in. thick, so I made the shelves 10-7/8 in. deep (12 minus 1-1/8 equals 10-7/8 in.). When the doors are closed, they'll rest against the shelves inside and flush with the screen molding outside.
Use a table saw or straight-cutting guide to cut the plywood sides (A) and top and bottom (B). The Cutting List (see Additional Information, below) gives the parts dimensions for my lockers. If you plan to paint or stain the mudroom lockers, it's a good idea to prefinish the insides of parts. Once the lockers are assembled, brushing a finish onto the insides is slow and difficult.
Assemble the boxes with 2-in. trim-head screws (Photo 1). Trim-head screws have smaller heads than standard screws and are easier to hide with filler. Cut the 1/4-in. plywood back (C) to size (see Figure A). Make certain the box is square by taking diagonal measurements (they should be equal; see Photo 2), and then secure the back using 1-in. nails. Use the edges of the back as a guide to straighten the edges of the box as you nail the back into place.
Cut 1/4 x 3/4-in. screen molding and use glue and 1-in. finish nails or brads to secure it to the exposed front edges of the plywood (Photo 3). Cut the shelf front and back (D), sides (E) and slats (F) to length, then assemble the three slatted shelf units (Photo 4). With the locker box standing upright, position the shelves and hold them temporarily in place with clamps or a couple of screws. Adjust the shelf spacing based on the height of the locker's user and the stuff that will go inside. Once you have a suitable arrangement, lay the mudroom locker on its back and screw the shelves into place (Photo 5). The shelves are easy to reposition in the future as needs change.
Remove the hinges that hold the bifold doors to each other. Determine which way you want the door to swing, then mount the hinges onto the door accordingly. (Note: You'll need to buy another set of hinges if you're building two lockers.) Remember, you want the louvers to point downward on the outside! With the locker on its back, position the door and secure the hinges to the plywood side (Photo 6). Install door handles and magnetic catches to hold them closed.
Remove the doors (but don't finish them yet!) and install the locker boxes. Your lockers can stand against baseboard, leaving a small gap between the backs of the lockers and the wall. Or—if you remove the baseboard‐they can stand tight against the wall. Either way, installing them is a lot like installing cabinets: Fasten all the boxes together by driving 1-1/4-in. screws through the side of one locker into the next. Then screw the entire assembly to wall studs.
Install the unfinished doors to make sure they all fit properly, then remove them again. This may seem like a waste of time, but there's a good reason for it: Your locker boxes may have shifted a little during installation, and the doors may not fit properly. If a door or two need some edge sanding, you want to do that before finishing.
When you've checked the fit of all the doors, remove them one last time for finishing. Whether you're using paint or a natural finish, louvered doors are a real pain. If your plans include a clear coat, consider polyurethane or lacquer in spray cans: You'll get better results in far less time, though you'll spend an a little extra. After finishing, install the doors and load up those lockers!

I went over to my buddies house to play some ball. To make a short story shorter, we did not play ball. His eighteen year old sister on the other hand loves to play ball, my balls to be exact. I heard some noises coming from the back room and did not know what was happening, so I went to check it out. Jessi was in the middle of rubbing one out. I could not resist. I had to watch. I lost my balance and fell into the room. She freaked out. I told her what was up and she blackmailed me. I did not mind though. I had to make her cum, so she would not tell her brother on me. I pounded her tight pussy. It got all puffy with pleasure and exploded cum all over my cock. She was a real juicy squirter, but so am I. I covered her face and hit the back of her throat with a huge load.

Second-half run keys UConn blowout win
Published 12:51 am, Tuesday, December 18, 2012
A 26-6 run to open the second half powered UConn to a 84-50 blowout victory over Maryland Eastern Shore Monday night at the XL Center.
The Huskies move to 8-2 while Maryland Eastern Shore drops to 0-10.
STAR OF THE GAME: Ryan Boatright went off for a season-high 21 points, which included five 3-pointers and one monster dunk on a fastbreak, opening up a 65-33 lead over the lowly Hawks.
KEY TO THE WIN: The 3-point line proved to be UConn's friend once again. The backcourt trio of Boatright, Shabazz Napier and Omar Calhoun canned its first eight 3-point attempts. Calhoun, a 6-foot-5 freshman, finished with a career-high 22.
The Huskies held a pregame moment of silence for the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. The players and cheerleaders -- holding candles -- stood in a circle around the midcourt logo as the XL Center honored the victims. Each UConn player had "SH" embroidered on their jerseys, and Boatright
wore the initials of the school on his left cheek.
Shabazz Napier, who has endured several long scoreless stretches this season, did not attempt a field goal until 7:40 remained in the first half. His shot--a straightaway 3-pointer--gave UConn a 24-14 advantage, its first double-digit lead. Operating the point more than usual, Napier dished out eight assists and needed just four field goals attempts to score 11 points.
The advantage on the boards went to Maryland Eastern Shore, 30-26. Tyler Olander was held scoreless and without a single rebound in 12 minutes.
R.J. Evans did not play. A redshirt senior, Evans suffered a sternalclavicular sprain during a Thanksgiving Day practice. After missing two games, he returned for a Dec. 4 clash with N.C. State, but only managed seven minutes versus Harvard last Friday. It's possible the injury is still bothering him, which would explain the DNP.
Up Next: vs. Fordham, Dec. 22 (7 p.m., XL Center)

According to the picture, that motor is a 208v, although that detail isn't given in the e-bay ad.
I can't tell that from the picture. The reset is mounted on the back of the motor and IS susceptible to damage if not properly packaged. Since there's no shaft, only other vulnerable area is the mount foot - which isn't an issue.
The reset CAN be ordered and replaced. Gotta solder the wire connections.
Last note: You should've separated the motor from the pump. If you found oil migration from the pump seal, replace the pump too. Otherwise that motor will fail again soon due to oil and/or moisture migration into the motor.
If you look,there are three pictures of the motor .One is of the back of the motor.

- How can I stay informed on developments from the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program and findings from the Consortium?
1. What is the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program?
The Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program supports transformative and innovative approaches to strengthening institutions and faculty dedicated to the engagement, training, and retention of diverse biomedical scientists. The program includes three integrated initiatives which will to allow institutions to develop and pilot novel approaches to biomedical research training and mentoring. The long-term goal of the program is to catalyze a systemic change in the biomedical research culture to have a broad impact on scientists from backgrounds nationally underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research workforce (referred to as the "biomedical" research workforce).
The Diversity Program is an opportunity to increase the understanding of the needs, attitudes, motivations, and career trajectories of students from diverse backgrounds; to test ways to more effectively steer young scientists toward research careers and encourage their persistence to become future NIH-supported researchers; and to test hypotheses about practices most likely to lead to successful career outcomes. Although receipt of a PhD has often been used as an intermediate marker of success for programs that seek to diversify the biomedical workforce, NIH is interested in developing additional measures that are effective predictors of long term research career success.
Awardee institutions, in close partnership with the NIH, will develop and test hypotheses about how to best prepare individuals from diverse backgrounds for research careers. The program will support innovative and novel approaches and strategies to build upon and extend beyond existing efforts. These initiatives will not support replication or expansion of existing programs at awardee institutions. Promising practices and principles derived from the literature or from pilot programs may be leveraged to inform approaches and/or expansion of existing efforts in novel ways. Rigorous evaluation of these innovative approaches is key and proven approaches will be widely shared so that institutions beyond those funded through this program can benefit. Successful models will ideally supplant less effective practices nationwide, leading to a broad and sustained impact on the diversity of the NIH-funded workforce.
Up to Top
2. What types of questions/hypotheses will be addressed within this program?
Relevant questions addressed within this program include, but are not limited to: What are the hallmarks of a successful biomedical research career at each phase of the training process? What motivates students to enter biomedical research career paths, and what factors contribute to their sustained participation? What factors (e.g., institutional, social, and individual) influence emerging scientists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, to enter, exit, or sustain a biomedical research career, and how can these factors be addressed? What must happen during different training stages to ensure that trainees and participants, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies essential to success in biomedical research careers and careers in the NIH-funded research workforce? How do institutional structures and resources facilitate successful research training and professional development activities? How can approaches be designed so that their impact continues beyond the period of NIH funding?
Up to Top
3. What initiatives make up the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program?
This program consists of three highly integrated initiatives, the awardees of which will work together with the NIH as a consortium. Collectively, these initiatives will develop and test innovative approaches to engage, train, and retain trainees from diverse backgrounds. Efficacy will be monitored throughout the grant period, and lessons learned will be extended to other NIH-supported programs and the community as a whole.
The three initiatives are: Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD), National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN), and Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC). Each of these initiatives is described in more detail below.
4. Where does NIH expect transformation from this program to occur?
The Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program provides the opportunity for transformation of the biomedical research workforce through institution-wide and eventually nationwide implementation of successful training and mentoring strategies. The nationwide transformation is expected to come as the novel training and mentoring strategies implemented by awardee institutions are evaluated and successful approaches are shared for adoption by other institutions.
5. Why is the NIH making this investment?
The NIH mission to "seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability" requires the best and brightest minds in the country. However, several segments of the U.S. population are underrepresented in the NIH-funded workforce, despite significant investments in programs intended to support workforce diversity. This relative void in the nation's biomedical research enterprise has a negative impact on the ability of the NIH to achieve its mission. It is vital to the interests of the NIH to engage the biomedical research community to address this challenge effectively. Innovation, networking, and rigorous assessment of "what works" are key components of this new program and are intended to synergize with ongoing investments, ultimately enabling all of them to have a greater impact.
Up to Top
6. Why is this program being funded through the NIH Common Fund?
The Common Fund supports programs that are intended to have a transformative impact on biomedical research conducted across all NIH Institutes and Centers. Common Fund programs encourage highly innovative approaches to broadly relevant challenges, coordination among awardees, and rapid dissemination of results and lessons learned. These programs represent NIH-wide priorities, and program areas are selected with input from all Institute and Center Directors and from extramural scientists. Common Fund support of the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program is indicative of the recognition by NIH Leadership that talent from all sectors of the population is necessary to accomplish the NIH mission. This program will synergize with ongoing NIH investments in diversity programs, building upon them to establish a network of institutions, mentors, faculty, and trainees.
This program is a high priority for NIH as a whole. In addition to Common Fund support, every NIH Institute and Center has committed funds to this program.
Up to Top
7. Will funding for this program end in five years?
The NIH Common Fund has committed to support the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program for 10 years with the expectation that this timeframe will be required to develop and assess new approaches to training and mentoring.
The initial awards will have a five-year project period. Progress of the program will be assessed throughout the five-year period. At present there are no confirmed plans to release any additional funding opportunity announcements. Awardees will consider sustainability beyond the external funding.
8. What is Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD)?
BUILD awards will support novel, transformative, and broad-based approaches to training biomedical research students. Approaches will emphasize research opportunities, along with innovative activities and mentoring, which engage and prepare participants for success in the NIH-funded workforce. The BUILD initiative provides great flexibility for institutions to develop innovative strategies and approaches for biomedical research training. Tangible advances are expected in three key areas: institutional development, faculty development, and student development.
BUILD awards are made to Primary Institutions, which are domestic baccalaureate-granting colleges/universities, receive less than $7.5 million (total costs) of NIH research project grant (RPG) funding per year (averaged over fiscal years 2010-12) and meet additional requirements defined in the Funding Opportunity Announcement. These institutions typically emphasize undergraduate training and may be ideally poised to encourage students from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter research careers. To broaden the potential pool of participating students and maximize opportunities for research training and faculty development, Primary Institutions may also partner with one or more of the following types of institutions:
- Pipeline Partners – Two- or four-year undergraduate institutions with students that will enrich and expand the pool of participants engaged in BUILD activities.
- Research Partners – Research intensive institutions with committed investigators able to serve as effective research mentors. Academic institutions, government institutions, industry, and nonprofit research institutions may all be considered as potential Research Partners.
- Graduate/Medical Partners – Medical or graduate institutions that do not have undergraduate programs but do have research-active faculty and doctoral-level students engaged in research or planning research careers. Graduate/Medical Partners should receive less than $7.5 million per year (total costs) through RPGs. Primary Institutions and Graduate/Medical Partner Institutions will work collaboratively to provide joint programs for both undergraduate and graduate students.
9. What is the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN)?
The NRMN will address the critical need for increased access to high quality research mentorship and networking opportunities for individuals from undergraduate to early-career faculty levels. A critical element of the NRMN will be the capacity and ability to provide effective mentoring and networking opportunities to a diverse population of mentees, including those from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce. The network will develop an interconnected set of skilled mentors linked to mentees across the country, from both BUILD institutions and elsewhere. NRMN will also develop best practices for mentoring, provide training opportunities for mentors, and provide networking and professional opportunities for mentees. The NRMN is intended to serve any eligible mentee (U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals or permanent residents as described more fully in the Funding Opportunity Announcement) who may benefit from additional mentoring beyond what they are receiving at their home institutions.
10. What is the Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC)?
The CEC will coordinate consortium-wide activities and evaluate BUILD and NRMN programs. It will facilitate the definition of Consortium-wide hallmarks of success; it will coordinate activities necessary to achieve and evaluate efficacy of the various consortium goals; it will also work with individual awardees to adjust objectives and strategies in response to evaluative data obtained. The overarching question that the CEC will address is whether the innovative approaches taken by BUILD and NRMN for student engagement, training, and mentoring are more effective than prior approaches and identify what works and for whom. The CEC will also be critical for the dissemination of successful approaches to the community at large, enabling transformation to take place on a nationwide scale.
11. How can I stay informed on developments about the Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce program and findings from the Consortium?
The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to the Diversity email listserv (http://commonfund.nih.gov/diversityregister). Information will also be shared on the program website and through the Common Fund Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Q: What counts as Pro Bono work?
A: Chief Justice Ronald George of the California Supreme Court has stated, "If the motto 'and justice for all' becomes 'and justice for those who can afford it' we threaten the very underpinnings of our social contract." In California, there is roughly one legal aid lawyer for every 8,361 low income Californians; by contrast there is one private lawyer for every 250 Californians. Roughly one-third of our low-income population has access to civil legal assistance; too often this assistance is far less than what is needed.
In an effort to bring the resources, efforts and energy of law students to help bridge this gap, Hastings has defined Pro Bono as:
volunteer, law-related services
provided directly to or on behalf of
under-represented individuals.
Some questions to help answer whether the work you are doing meets this definition of Pro Bono:
1) Am I a volunteer? If you are receiving compensation of any sort (pay, stipend, academic credit, etc.) you are not a volunteer.
2) Is the work law-related? If you are making use of your specialized knowledge and skills acquired as a law student, the work is law-related. Law-related activities and skills include: intake, interviewing, form completion, education about legal process or rights, legal research and drafting, providing interpretation or translation services to assist in seeking legal aid, negotiating, problem-solving, working to increase diversity in the legal profession, etc.
3) Are my efforts and energies provided to or on behalf of under-represented individuals or communities? The unmet civil legal needs in California are overwhelming. Work which benefits individuals or groups who would not otherwise have access to representation based on their ability to pay or because they have traditionally been disenfranchised from the legal process will count.
Q: Does volunteer, law-related work which does not otherwise meet the Hastings Pro Bono definition count?
A: While all Pro Bono work is public service, not all public service work is pro bono. However, up to 25% of the hours necessary for graduation recognition may be satisfied through volunteer law-related work with a governmental or non-profit law office. Most work in a governmental law office in the criminal context (a District Attorney's or Public Defender's Office, etc.) will not meet the Hastings Pro Bono definition because individuals in the criminal context are constitutionally entitled to representation; there is no civil corollary.
Q. Does summer work count?
A: As a general matter, a full-time summer position - whether it includes Pro Bono work in a law firm or work with a public interest organization - does not count. However, Pro Bono work beyond the typical ten week summer job commitment may qualify. These additional summer hours may count up to one-half of the total Pro Bono hours goal.
Q: Does work in one of Hastings' clinical courses count?
A: Like summer work, time spent on clinic cases during the semester in which you receive credit does not count. However, if you work on a case or project beyond the clinic's requirements for academic credit, these hours may count toward the 45-hour goal.
Q: I 'm a volunteer tutor at a local school. Do these hours count?
A: Community service work which is not law-related may be counted. However, only 25% of the total Pro Bono hours may be satisfied with community service work.
Q: Does work for student organizations count?
A: Yes, certain kinds of activities performed for student organizations qualify. Refer to the Program Requirements for more information.
Q: Where can I find volunteer opportunities which match my interests?
A: There are many recognized organizations and student-initiated projects looking for volunteers. There are opportunities with a wide-range of time and/or task commitments. Do you want to work with an organization not on the list? Don't see anything you like? Contact Nancy Stuart to discuss further options.
Q: I'm feeling pressured by time. Do I have to commit to a regular schedule?
A: No. Many opportunities only seek a few hours on a single day, or a few hours weekly. Some opportunities consist of doing research which can be done from home at your leisure. How and with whom you choose to do pro bono is up to you.
Q: What are the benefits of meeting the 45 hour Pro Bono pledge?
A: In addition to the rewards stemming from being part of increasing access to justice, students who provide a minimum of 45 hours of pro bono legal services prior to graduation will be inducted into the Pro Bono Society and will be recognized for their accomplishments in the graduation program and on their transcript.
Q: Is there a benefit to doing more than 45 hours of Pro Bono?
A: The more you do, the greater the benefit to those you serve. Additionally, those students who match the aspirational goal set for practicing attorneys, 50 hours per year for a total of 150 hours prior to graduation will be recognized for their Outstanding Achievement in Pro Bono. This achievement will be reflected in the graduation program and on the students' transcript.
Q: Why should I do Pro Bono work?
A Law students engage in pro bono for a variety of reasons ranging from the personal to the professional. Pro bono work is a great way to give back to the community, develop your legal skills, network with legal services and private sector lawyers, put theory into practice, etc. See the Top Ten.
Q: Why should I sign the Pro Bono pledge now?
A: Sign up now to make a personal commitment, stay up-to-date on program offerings, pro bono opportunities, and pro bono resources. Plus, receive email reminders to submit your time sheets or to meet your pro bono goal.
Q: How do I submit my hours?
A: It's simple. Fill out the Pro Bono time sheet (including a description of the volunteer work). Make sure your supervisor signs the form, then drop it off in room 350 of the Tower (100 Bldg), or submit it electronically to Jayme Jackson at email@example.com.
Q: Is funding available to support pro bono work?

Funny, because I think what HP did is probably the most interesting - and certainly a smart - option : get their own complete stack (metal to glass) which will allow them to make devices with unique features and an interesting interface that can differentiate itself.
Aside from not paying a 'Microsoft tax' and 'saving' on R&D costs, the Android vendors are basically stuck on the standard Windows route - very little to differentiate themselves on the software side and razor-thin margins on their hardware sales, not to mention Google dabbling in their own hardware versions to further screw them over.
Investing in Pre and R&D gives HP a shot at being a real competitor, and as Apple has shown you can do both hardware and software and make very good money with much better margins. Whether HP can capitalize on that remains to be seen - do they have the technical vision, can they get software shops interested with enough seats to make it worth porting/writing for the platform, and can they fight both Apple and Google platforms? Who knows, but they have deeper pockets than Palm did and possibly the will to try. Kudos, I can't wait to see what they can come up with and hope it isn't a total disaster.
And, uh, go QNX6! (To get back on topic... )

Last week, Khulood Badawi, a U.N. relief worker in Gaza, tweeted a photograph of an injured Palestinian girl, saying "Palestine is bleeding. Another child killed by Israel. Another father carrying a child into a grave in Gaza."
The photograph, it turned out, was more than six years old — captured by a Reuters photographer, and depicting a child who had been injured in a swing accident.
"She was not killed by Israeli forces," Ron Prosor, Israel's U.N. ambassador, wrote in a letter to the U.N. emergency coordinator, Valerie Amos, in which he demanded the woman be fired"Although Ms. Badawi's portrayal of this photo was clearly a blatant falsehood, her post became the top tweet for anything related to Gaza on Twitter."
The U.N.'s chief spokesman, Martin Nesirky, today confirmed that the tweet was not true, adding that "it is regrettable that an OCHA [Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] staff member had posted information on her personal Twitter profile which was both false and which reflected on issues that are related to her work."
"The opinions expressed in her Twitter profile in no way reflect the views of OCHA, nor were they sanctions by OCHA," Nesirky said. "OCHA strives to ensure its neutrality and impartiality in all aspects of its work and it is important that the private actions of our staff do not undermine these principles in countries in which we work."
The controversy comes as Israel is engaged in a series of violent exchanges with the Palestinians, with Palestinian militants firing more than 100 rockets at Israeli civilians, wounding several civilians. Israel has retaliated with a series of air strikes that have killed 25 Palestinians, according to the Associated Press.
Badawi, a long time Palestinian activist before she was hired by the United Nations, did not respond to a request for comment left on her twitter account, which she stopped using on the day her employers learned about the erroneous tweet.
But her Twitter feed links to a story by another woman, Diana Alzeer, who claimed she posted the photo on her own site, mistakenly thinking that the photograph was recent. Alzeer ran a correction after learning that the photo was old. Badawi subsequently deleted the entry on her Twitter feed.
Israel's U.N. ambassador has cited the erroneous tweet as cause for Badawi's dismissal, saying that she "not only failed to remain impartial; she actively engaged in the demonization of Israel."
But Israel apparently got questioned by some of its Twitter followers for posting an old photograph to illustrate the current violence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman, Ofir Gendelman, posted a photograph showing "an Israeli woman lying on the ground with her two children, their hands over their heads, their faces squashed into the pavement," according to the Associated Press.
Gendelman wrote that the picture captures the moment "when a rocket fired by terrorists from Gaza is about to hit their home." The photo, AP reported, was from 2009. "I never stated that the photo was current," Gendelman told followers who pointed out that the photograph was old. It illustrates the fear that people in southern Israel live in."
U.N. officials, meanwhile, would not say whether Badawi would keep her job.

As Graduates Prepare for Ceremonies, Many Have Already Secured Jobs in Their Fields
Ceremonies for about 2,200 UT Dallas Students Set for Friday and Saturday
Dec. 2, 2013
Chelsea Swan
When electrical engineering senior Chelsea Swan graduates in December, she will leave UT Dallas with a job already lined up, and one that fulfills a childhood dream, no less.
Swan, a self-described "bit of a nerd," predicted her career in sixth grade, when she got her first Texas Instruments calculator and promptly told her mother, "I want to work for this company."
Now, with four internships on her resume and a college degree almost in hand, Swan will begin her engineering job at Texas Instruments in January.
Swan is not unusual among her fellow fall graduates in her quick turn from commencement to employment. Most recent UT Dallas graduates are bypassing the challenge of a months-long job search through networking and investment in internships.
The University Career Center's surveys show that about 84 percent of UT Dallas graduates are either employed or continuing their education shortly after graduation. Employers often seek out UT Dallas graduates in high-demand fields such as engineering, computer science and management.
As the University's student enrollment surges upward – fall commencement numbers of 2,197 show an increase of 15 percent over a year ago and 32 percent since fall 2009 – UT Dallas graduates continue to maintain their edge in the job market.
The key to a smooth transition to the marketplace, say these graduates, is getting as much direct experience in their chosen fields as possible before leaving campus.
Consider that four of the five student commencement speakers this December have already accepted jobs; the fifth is entering medical school. They are:
From left: Student commencement speakers are Paulina Jesionek, Ben Tijerina, Rachel Hodges, Andrew Bourg and Syed Rasheed.
- Paulina Jesionek, a marketing and global business major, has received a full-time job offer as an insurance broker at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., where she completed a sales internship and has worked as an assistant account manager. She also has been accepted into the health care management master's program at UT Dallas.
- Benjamin Tijerina, a mechanical engineering major, is returning to Houston to work for an oil and gas firm.
- Rachel Hodges, an MBA student, will continue as an operations analyst with Goldman Sachs & Co., where she landed a job in 2011 after earning a bachelor's degree in finance.
- Andrew Bourg, an economics major who had internships with United American Insurance Co. and Towers Watson, will be an actuary with a consulting firm in Chicago.
- Syed Rasheed, a psychology and child learning and development major, will begin medical school.
Swan, who was born in Bermuda, raised in Dallas and attended high school in Oak Cliff, said the Academic Bridge Program at UT Dallas offered mentoring and tutoring that helped her adjust to university life.
Selected to be a Terry Scholar, Swan also accepted campus leadership roles: vice president and president of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, senator for the National Society of Black Engineers and Terry Foundation Scholar secretary. She volunteered with robotics engineering camps and was a peer advisor.
In her "spare" time, Swan took on internships at Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, Texas Instruments and Ericsson, which gave her experience as a technical writer and software engineer. She is looking forward to her new role at Texas Instruments.
Jennifer Chen
"UT Dallas provided all the resources I needed," Swan said. "In my freshman year, I was scared of networking. I thought my grades should count for everything. But you can tell a lot about a person in a five-minute interview. I tell students they need to bump up their confidence and be proud of what they do know."
Fellow graduate-to-be Jennifer Chen, a marketing and global business senior, signed on with the Howard Hughes Corporation before receiving her diploma.
Chen said she had originally planned to spend only her freshman year at UT Dallas, near her home in Plano, before transferring to UT Austin. But she opted to stay after becoming a sorority officer for Delta Delta Delta and an advisory council member for the Davidson Management Honors Program.
"I wanted to make the most of it for a year and ended up loving all of it. Organizations at UT Dallas weren't afraid to put freshmen in leadership positions. By the end of my freshman year, there was no way I was leaving."
"I wanted to make the most of it for a year and ended up loving all of it. Organizations at UT Dallas weren't afraid to put freshmen in leadership positions. By the end of my freshman year, there was no way I was leaving," Chen said.
The small cohort classes in the honors program gave her access to top faculty members and networking opportunities, Chen said. She also took advantage of professional development seminars where she learned to pitch her experience and skills. As president of her sorority her senior year, she gained more leadership experience.
Her hard work and networking has paid off. Chen was accepted for a marketing internship in June 2012 at the Howard Hughes Corp., which owns, manages and develops commercial and residential real estate throughout the country. She later worked there part-time while she completed her degree and now looks forward to a permanent job as a marketing coordinator.
"I'm very grateful that I don't have to go through interviews now," Chen said. "They created a position for me, which speaks to how employers are investing in internships now. You can't learn it unless you do it."

John Kincade knows how to fill up a resume.
As a college intern working for the Flyers in the mid-1980s, he helped to incorporate video and extensive use of data into the team�s coaching efforts. By his late 20s, he was a rising sales and marketing star with Malvern-based Shared Medical Systems (now Siemens). By his early 30s, he had parlayed a sports-talk radio opportunity in Philadelphia into a long-standing gig that continues today in Atlanta and nationally.
Yet when asked to discuss his proudest accomplishments, his mind journeys way back to the ice hockey rinks of Chester County.
�Coaching Downingtown to the ICSHL championship in 1990-91,� Kincade said in a telephone interview from Atlanta. �What a great experience. I loved my kids. To this day, I�m friends with a lot of them on Facebook. We stay in touch and sometimes we get together when I come home. I�m so proud of them.
�I was a very young coach; it wasn�t like one of the dads coaching. We had a great relationship, but I do think I was a hard guy to deal with. They don�t seem to remember it that way. Maybe winning makes a big difference. At the time I think a lot them wanted to hit me over the head with a stick.�
Kincade, 48, said his home includes memorabilia from Super Bowls, the World Series, the Masters and many other major events he�s covered. It also includes a jersey from Downingtown�s championship season and a blown-up photo from the Daily Local News that the team signed.
�That moment is just as important to me as anything I�ve ever covered,� Kincade said. �That championship, that team, it was the dream of a lifetime.�
Kincade�s team went 17-3-1 and defeated West Chester East for the title. That was Kincade�s first year at Downingtown after two years as an assistant at East. Kincade coached two more years and finished 36-12-3 at Downingtown.
Previously, Kincade had worked for the Flyers while majoring in Radio, Television and Film at Temple, and then began his coaching career as an assistant at West Chester University. Kincade helped to prepare detailed video highlights and statistics at WCU and with the Flyers coaches at the time, including Mike Keenan and Paul Holmgren, now the team�s general manager.
Breaking into radio
Kincade was born and raised in Broomall, Delaware County. He landed a job at Shared Medical Systems two years after graduating from Temple in 1986. His gift for sales and marketing quickly moved him up the corporate ladder while he was coaching hockey on the side. Kincade then loaded his plate even more as he began to follow his true passion � and his college training � into radio.
One of Kincade�s biggest breaks came in 1992 with a stint at WIP-610. The morning show with ringleader Angelo Cataldi, Al Morganti and Tony Bruno was just emerging as a pop-culture hit in Philadelphia. Kincade�s outgoing personality, sharp sense of humor and willingness to do just about anything earned him steadily increasing air time.
�I was introduced to Angelo through Tony, and Angelo found me funny,� Kincade said. �Angelo wanted me to come on once a week. So we did a bit called �Johnac the Magnificent� every Friday. Then Angelo wanted me to do more, so I came on a few times a week as �John from Exton.� It was all great fun. I did crazy things like deliver carrots to (baseball umpire) Joe West�s hotel room after he blew a game for the Phillies.�
Kincade called Bruno �a genius and someone I love like a brother.� Cataldi and WIPs Howard Eskin, along with Keenan and Holmgren, served as father figures, as Kincade was in high school (Cardinal O�Hara) when his own father died. Cataldi was so impressed with Kincade that he petitioned the station manager, Tom Bigby, to give Kincade even more air time.
�Bigby was a nervous wreck about me,� Kincade said. �A lot of times I co-hosted holidays at night with Carl Cherkin, who used to be a sports anchor at channel 29. We worked shifts like 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve. It gave me an opportunity to host, but it was a pretty harmless situation considering the hours. It did, however, let me build up a lot of tape, which helped when I moved to Atlanta and wanted to continue in sports radio.�
Transfer to Atlanta
Kincade only occasionally slept during this period. He coached into early 1993, worked bizarre hours at WIP and a full day at Shared Medical Systems. Kincade was highly regarded at SMS and already had turned down promotion opportunities in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Kansas City, Mo.
�I got called in one Friday and received an offer to go to Atlanta,� he said. �They gave me until close of business Monday to accept the job. In other words, �we like you a lot, but take the job or we�re going to fire you.� So I moved to Atlanta in January 1995 for SMS, and through recommendations from Angelo and Tony, I also started working weekends at 680 The Fan.�
Kincade�s pace was just as frenetic as in Philadelphia, and it caught up with him. Nine months after he arrived in Atlanta, he experienced his first bout with cancer.
�I was run down, tired and exhausted to the point that it made you want to cry,� he said. �Everybody told me, �you�re 30, you�ve always worked two or three jobs at a time and you never rest.� I just ignored everything. Little did I know I had non-Hodgkin�s lymphoma. Thankfully it was found soon enough to treat with radiation and chemotherapy. But it was a dark time.�
Kincade said he swore that he�d live his life differently. He didn�t.
�I continued to burn the candle at both ends business-wise and did radio on the weekends,� he said. �I ended up getting sick again in 1997 with testicular cancer. So I got a double whammy. The two cancers aren�t even related.�
Kincade had surgery, more chemotherapy, and then, finally, made a major life change. He quit his job with SMS and left behind a six-figure salary to pursue his sports-radio passion full time.
Kincade�s radio career is booming. He and broadcast partner Buck Belue, who quarterbacked the University of Georgia to the national championship in 1980, celebrate their 13th year as a team next month. In March, �Buck and Kincade� completed their 3,000th show together. They can be heard weekdays in Atlanta from noon-3 p.m. on 680 The Fan. The station bills them as �in your dash, talking trash � and the longest-running sports show in the history of Atlanta.�
After hosting various weekend national ESPN programs for 13 years, Kincade began a solo program in January for CBS. It can be heard locally on WIP-610, Sunday mornings from 6-10 a.m.
On Sept. 20, Kincade will celebrate 15 years of being cancer-free.
Kincade and his wife, Cristina, have a 9-year-old daughter. His life remains busy but not out of control, and he owes much of his success to lessons learned while coaching at Downingtown, West Chester East and WCU.
�The same things that made me successful as a hockey coach in Chester County are the same things I�ve used in business and radio,� he said. �It�s the same type of preparation -- preparing for every show, preparing for every business meeting, preparing to outwork your opponents.
�I�m highly competitive and I�ll try to beat whoever is in my path. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But if you win more than you lose, you end up doing pretty well for yourself.�

Coalition Against Domestic Violence organizes State House gathering this afternoon
The Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence will host a gathering at the State House from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow during which community members can raise their voices in response to the proposed budget cuts in Rhode Island, and stand with the organization and its six member agencies as they demand no more domestic violence.
The RICADV is facing 25 percent budget cuts to vital statewide domestic violence programs and services that save lives and these cuts will hurt everyone because domestic violence is a public health crisis. But, it is preventable when advocates and victims are given the resources to survive. On NO MORE Day, community members will be encouraged to speak to their legislators and public officials before these cuts take place, and tell them NO MORE.
For more information about how to be involved in this critical movement and important day of action, contact Rachel Orsinger (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Zulma Garcia (firstname.lastname@example.com) at 467-9940.
Is this a news story or an editorial? The only thing missing is the use of the requisite "crisis". Oh, sorry, there it is.

Purifying the Emotions
We have seen the importance of the virtues of repentance and humility for our spiritual growth. But there are strong ego-centric emotions that can block any progress.
In one of his most popular works 'Praktikos' Evagrius, the 4th Century Desert Father par excellence and teacher of Cassian, deals mainly with this major difficulty: "The ascetic life is the spiritual method for cleansing the affective part of the soul." Although Evagrius was addressing the problems of the ascetics in his care in the Egyptian desert, his advice is psychologically so sound that it also very much applies to ordinary people like us who are seriously on the spiritual path.
Evagrius uses the term 'demons' for the overpowering ego-centric desires that can fuel our behaviour and keep us focussed exclusively on the material world. Modern men and women may be slightly put out by the use of this term, but he is referring to strong self-centred emotions, which are the outcome of deep instinctive survival needs for security, power, control and esteem that have not been met. The 'ego' is our survival instinct; we need it and it is valuable - it is a gift from God. We need this instinct to deal with the dangers of the environment in which we find ourselves; our survival needs have to be fulfilled to a healthy degree. But if they are perceived to be unmet, especially from early childhood onwards, we need to become aware of how these natural desires can be distorted and grow out of proportion into forces which unconsciously demonically drive our behaviour. Then, Evagrius warns, they need to be purified back to their natural state of balance.
Our task according to him is to identify our personal demons. This we do by prayer/meditation - by calling on spiritual powers to help us - and by effort to come to self-knowledge and awareness, which is achieved by watching the thoughts. Evagrius is not asking us to watch the usual trivial junk that floats over the surface of our mind. That would be pointless and excruciatingly boring. He is concerned about the deep thoughts that are expressions of our unmet needs and unpurified desires. We need to pay these significant thoughts and their associations the attention they deserve. They are the only indicators we have of what really motivates us for good or for ill. Yet this work we do is not just for ourselves; by purifying our own emotions, by being healed of our own woundedness, the stream of pure love that flows through our true self is unhindered with the result of that we are open and compassionate towards others.
Yes, sometimes life is indeed all about surviving. Yet even in the most appalling circumstances we find people who ignore the danger to themselves and act with integrity, love and compassion. Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Mystic who died in a Nazi concentration camp in the Second World War, showed support and loving comfort to all, who were there with her, as she saw the Divine essence within everyone: "But one thing is becoming increasingly clear to me: that You cannot help us, that we must help You ourselves. And that is all we can manage these days and also all that really matters: that we safeguard that piece of You, God, in ourselves…….. You cannot help us, but we must help You and defend Your dwelling place inside us to the last. ('An Interrupted Life')
The aim of our meditation practice is not to get rid of the 'ego' but to open the 'ego' to the healing power of the Spirit, which helps us to get in touch with 'that piece of You, God'.

EU regulators back wholesale route to cut roaming charges
At odds with EC
Posted in Networks, 11th May 2006 12:28 GMT
Europe's telecoms regulators have supported plans to cut roaming charges but believe this should be done by cutting the cost of wholesale charges rather than retail prices.
The European Commission (EC) has already announced plans to regulate the amount cellcos can charge punters while using their phone overseas. Four weeks ago the EC published proposals for wholesale and retail regulation that would link international retail roaming charges with the price punters pay in their home country.
But the European Regulators Group (ERG), which includes UK regulator Ofcom, believes that attempting to regulate retail prices could be counter productive for end users. Indeed, the ERG said that while it "supports the commission's objectives, it has significant reservations about the regulatory mechanisms proposed by the EC".
Instead, the ERG favours wholesale regulation and wants to impose a single European-wide price cap on wholesale roaming charges (the price imposed by one mobile network operator on another for the use of its network) set at around €0.30, as opposed to the current average level of about €0.75.
And in a bid to ensure that these cost savings are being passed on to consumers, cellco roaming charges would be monitored.
The introduction of retail price caps should only be introduced if wholesale regulation failed, the ERG said.
"Mobile roaming charges are simply too high and do not currently represent a fair deal between the customer and the operator," ERG chairman Kip Meek said. "We share with the commission a desire to see prices continue to fall. However, we continue to believe this can best be achieved through wholesale price regulation with retail price regulation held in reserve."
Vodafone announced earlier this week it would cut roaming charges ahead of any intervention by the EC. It reckons that average European roaming costs for Vodafone customers will be cut by at least 40 per cent by April 2007, when compared to last summer seeing prices fall from more than €0.90 to less than €0.55 per minute. ®

Lonely, depressed, confused, and spending hours a day contemplating suicide in my little eight-by-eight den. At the age of forty-two, this is what my life has become. At the age of thirty, I had a nervous breakdown and overdosed on several bottles of medication. The next day my wife found me unconscious on the floor, and I was rushed to the emergency room, after which I spent several days in the hospital. Then I was taken to a mental institution. During my month-long stay there, I was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder. The rest, they say, is history; but in my case, the rest is misery.

I can't see how this would go wrong at all.
Peeple, an app launching this November, will invite you to rate everyone else like there were restaurants on Yelp. 'Personally, professionally and romantically', founders Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough think it's going to provide a whole lot of benefit for letting you know who's in your life.
As their website says:
Peeple will enhance your online reputation for access to better quality networks, top job opportunities, and promote more informed decision making about people.
Authentic and relevant information about you and others you interact with is paramount to our vision for this app. Users will require a Facebook account to access the application, to verify and validate the minimum age requirement. To prevent multiple and fake profiles users will also need to validate that they are a real person with their cell phone number which will then text them a pin to login with.
Not everyone is liking this idea. For the obvious reasons you are thinking.
It began trending on Twitter Oct. 1 and the reactions were expected, but still pretty humorous.
my thoughts on the #Peeple app pic.twitter.com/hfAXQTCb3A— Rita Meade (@ScrewyDecimal) October 1, 2015
The backlash has been felt by the creators (who are still getting publicity out of the bad press) and they wrote up this reply, which doesn't at all come off as smug and self-satisfied.
An Ode to Courage: Innovators are often put down because people are scared and they don't understand. We are bold innovators and sending big waves into motion and we will not apologize for that because we love you enough to give you this gift.
It is very much worth mentioning that the show Community had an episode dedicated to an app exactly like this. It was called Meow Meow Beenz. And it was hilarious.
It will only be a matter of time before society devolves into a caste system, where the five-star rated among us will wear togas and play theremins on the reg.

Factory Five Roadster Build Part 3: Suspension Install
Our Factory Five Roadster Suspension Finds Its Way to Our Frame
Things are moving along nicely with our build, even if we are juggling many subsections at once so they'll (hopefully) fall into place as we need them. Besides the many hours spent drilling rivet holes--compounded by documenting our work with digital cameras, written notes, online diaries, and so on--we've been on the phone getting our drivetrain and brake systems figured out. As we write this, our Technical Editor, Wayne Cook, is in California following the engine build, the brake parts are in boxes at the office, and the rearend is being built in Michigan. We've got parts coming from all over.
In our second installment, we went to Michigan for the Factory Five build school with our project barely two weeks old. As soon as we returned, we got started on many of the early build steps, including drilling rivet holes, mocking up parts, and assembling the suspension. While the aluminum panels and frame have been drilled, we'll hold off on the installation of the panels as long as we can to give us access to the frame for fuel and brake-line routing, drivetrain installation, and more.
We'll go over the aluminum panel fitting and drilling steps next month, and possibly start on the brakes or install the rearend, depending upon what we've got here on the shelf ready to go on the frame at that time. Stay tuned for that, but for now check out our suspension installation, including Factory Five's 3-Link rear suspension and tubular control arm upgrades.
On the Hunt for the Perfect Parts
While the Factory Five Roadster frame is designed to use late-model {{{Mustang}}} donor parts (brakes, suspension, drivetrain, and so on), let's face it, these cars are going on 20-plus years old. We're talking worn bushings, tired springs, and damaged parts from accidents. You might still find a good donor car at a decent price, but more than likely you'll want to choose your donor items individually.
We're using a few donor parts from various years--spindles from a '95 Mustang, a fuel filler neck from a '92 Mustang, and so forth. Buying these parts individually isn't difficult. You can work with a local pick-a-part type salvage yard or you can go right to one of the Mustang-only salvage yards like All Mustang Salvage [www.ampperformance.com; (602) 437-0720] in rust-free Arizona, where we found many of our items.
All Mustang has built several of its own FFR Roadsters, and has sold individual parts and pallets (everything needed to build a Roadster, minus the body) to hundreds of FFR customers. Of course, if your budget allows, there are plenty of Mustang aftermarket products to choose from, including performance brakes, control arms (front and rear), wiring, gauges, transmissions, engines, and more.
Many of our classic-parts advertisers like Texas Mustang, Stainless Steel Brakes, and Mustangs Plus also carry late-model Mustang parts. So if you're considering building an FFR Roadster, you can still purchase many of the items you need from your favorite classic vendors you've come to trust for your other {{{Ford}}} projects.

Submission + - Malware Controls 620,000 Phones, Sends Costly Messages (net-security.org)
Orome1 writes: "A new discovered malware is potentially one of the most costly viruses yet discovered. Uncovered by NQ Mobile, the "Bill Shocker" (a.expense.Extension.a) virus has already impacted 620,000 users in China and poses a threat to unprotected Android devices worldwide. Bill Shocker downloads in the background, without arousing the mobile device owner's suspicion. The infection can then take remote control of the device, including the contact list, Internet connections and dialing and texting functions. Once the malware has turned the phone into a "zombie," the infection uses the device to send text message to the profit of advertisers. In many cases, the threat will overrun the user's bundling quota, which subjects the user to additional charges."

Looks like Steve Jobs is right on track to return from his leave of absence later this month according to The Wall Street Journal reports.
Some Apple directors have gotten weekly updates about his medical condition from Steve's physician. As we all know Steve has been very ill due to his body starving to death because it could not digest protein and he had to take action and do what was best for him.
According to a person familiar of his illness says that Mr Jobs has been coming along well and is scheduled to return back to work the end of this month. Can't wait to see him and hope he has gained the weight he lost....
I am sure many are wondering if he will be at next weeks Worldwide Developers Conference but Apple states that he will not return until the end of the month.
A couple of people that do business with Apple stated that the company is trying to coordinate Mr Jobs return with a product launch or public event. (hmm wonder what is up their sleeve again?)
The report also states that the next generation iPhone is ready to be introduced at the WWDC but looks like a repeat of last year.... it will possibly occur by early July in order to accommodate owners of the original iPhone whose two-year contracts will begin expiring. (Bummer looks like we have to wait until July again)
At least we will know everything soon!

J, It's not clear to me what you want to do. Are you looking for how you could graciously host them on paper plates and not enough seating or are you looking for the polite way to say no?
another way to say no is, "No, that's all right, you guys go on with your own dinner party. I'm sure your guests are looking forward to spending time with you."Because BIL is sort of rude to his guests, actually, in addition to being rude to you.
The more I think about it -- I'm leaning towards finding a gracious way to host on paper plates without enough seating for everyone.
Well, why don't you have your BIL and his family bring the things needed to adequately host those extra people - all the plates and utensils and serving dishes and napkins and extra chairs and extra food?

There is a FreeBSD PPC distro, but it only boots into single user mode as of now....The last time I checked, OpenBSD was available, but not FreeBSD.
...and claims to have subsequently installed FreeBSD on one of those Macs!
Those are just the servers at his freelance gig, where he's busy trying to copy a 17M file....
I have yet to see this challenged, but my version of Panther uses NetInfo for user accounts, as it should.
NetInfo is great! I don't understand all the belly-acheing.
*raises hand*.
All articles newkid pointed out mentioned this "issue" as trivial and/or easily fixable, don't seem to be directly related, all appear to have been found by doing a google search for netinfo, and do not make his little issue a "well documented fact". I can also google for just about any type of computing issue and dig out hundreds of articles on any particular subject.
There are, furthermore, many ways one can corrupt a hard driv
To demonstrate: on any of your clients, type "niutil -readprop -t server_ip/network
Substitute "username" with any username or read all the usernames. Hell, I'll script it for you:
niutil -list -t $IP/$DB
/users | while read i u
echo -n $u:
niutil -readprop -t $IP/$DB
The hashes are encrypted using the standard Unix crypt(3). You can then massage them into some format that Crack can read and let it go. Remember, any user with access to your network can do this.
I really thought it was quite irresponsible of Apple to release this software and recommend this configuration to users. It took them a good long time to fix it.
Panther (client) finally fixed this. You'll note that passwords are no longer stored in netinfo, but netinfo rather references a "guid" which in turn references a file that stores the password, readable only by root. This means that standalone Macs no longer give all users access to all password hashes. I understand netinfo will finally be fully deprecated in 10.3 server.
You also asked if anyone has had other problems with MacOS X Server: I would strongly recommend against their mail server software. It does finally store messages as discrete files on the filesystem, so some munging can be fixed, but message flags are still stored in some opaque binary format that tends to get corrupted. In fact, whenever 10.2 server goes down ungracefully, all flags on messages are corrupted on our mail server, and thousands of deleted (and purged) messages re-appear in all the inboxes. The particular machine is on a UPS, so this doesn't happen very often, but it happens whenever the machine is purposefully rebooted without first explicitly stopping the mail server.
The good thing about 10.2 server is that it stores the passwords using standard DES crypt(), which makes migrating from it very easy. A shell script like the one above can produce a password file readable by most any *nix flavor. 10.3 uses some bizaare format that I can't readily identify. Since a lot of the most important bits of MacOS are closed-source, you may have a very difficult time migrating away from 10.3 server if it uses something akin to the 10.3 client hashes (options are making all users create new passwords or spending lots of time reverse-engineering the hash and writing an equivalent pam module for another OS (I'm assumming this new hashing stuff is not in Darwin, as most things in MacOS where I needed the code were not in Darwin - but I haven't checked for this)).
Anyway, your best bet is to drop netinfo and start using LDAP. MacOS X (client and server) uses OpenLDAP, which doesn't have these security issues, is easy to migrate onto other OSes, and is open source (with no modifications that I can identify), so you at least have the ability to fix your own problems if you're not scared of some coding. For example, the OpenLDAP version that ships with MacOS X 10.2 has a bug in that TLS_CACERTDIR directive does not work. I was able to identify and work around this since I had access to the code.

Nichole Guzzo and Brian Johnston are in the running to win a dream wedding in New York next month, and they need online votes to get there.
Guzzo, of Geneva, and Johnston, of St. Charles, entered a national competition a month ago through The Knot magazine shortly after they got engaged. If they get enough online votes between noon Monday and 4 p.m. Wednesday, they'll win a dream wedding that would be Feb. 14.
Guzzo, 24, is a senior at Purdue University studying public relations and marketing. Her fiance, Johnston, 23, is a firefighter and is attending school to become a paramedic. They've been narrowed down as one of five couples in the running.
The two got engaged Oct. 2, when Johnston told Guzzo that he would be taking her out to dinner to meet his grandparents. He told her to meet him at Francesca's by the River in St. Charles – where they had their first date – and he surprised her by riding up in a fire truck dressed in full firefighter gear.
"It was crazy. I thought there was some kind of emergency," she said. "He walked up to me and it wasn't until he kneeled that I realized he was proposing."
If they win the competition, they'll be married next month at Citi Pond at Bryant Park in New York.
Guzzo said the dream wedding is worth more than $90,000. The competition winners receive a ceremony and reception for 100 people; a personalized congratulations and performance video by Matchbox Twenty; a wedding gown from Kleinfeld Bridal; designer wedding bands; a cake; flowers; honeymoon; and more.
Carly Zipp, a spokeswoman from The Knot, said "hundreds upon hundreds" of entries poured in each week after the competition started in October. She said five couples had been selected based on their submission videos to move onto the next phase of the competition.
"We felt Nichole's and Brian's story was so organic and so sweet," she said. "They need the money, and they're great people giving back to the community."
The couple met one and a half years ago while Guzzo was working as a waitress at a St. Charles restaurant. She said she saw Johnston come in and convinced a fellow server to switch tables with her so he would be her customer. She said Johnston came back about two hours after leaving to ask Guzzo for her number.
"We've been pretty much inseparable ever since," Guzzo said.
If they don't win the competition, Guzzo said she and Johnston are planning for a summer 2014 wedding. She said the two are living with their parents while they save money and plan to move in together after they get married.
But they're keeping their fingers crossed for a New York wedding next month.
"We figured this would be an amazing story to tell our grandkids," she said.
Voting details
Vote between noon Monday and 4 p.m. Wednesday for local couple Nichole Guzzo and Brian Johnston to win a dream wedding by visiting wedding.theknot.com/dream-wedding-contest.

Semiconductor analyst Mehdi Hosseini with Susquehanna Financial Group today reiterates "Negative" ratings on chip equipment suppliers Applied Materials (AMAT), ASML Holding (ASML), and KLA Tencor (KLAC), and a Neutral rating on shares of Lam Research (LRCX), arguing that after a 43% appreciation for semi-cap stocks in 2013, "we expect SCE to give back the gains of CY13 because of consensus expectations that are too aggressive/unrealistic, rich valuation, with capex commentary (from the likes of Samsung and TSM) to disappoint during 4Q conference calls."
Hosseini reiterates "Positive" ratings on shares of SanDisk (SNDK), South Korean DRAM maker SK Hynix (000660KS), Samsung Electronics (005930KS), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others.
Writes Hosseini,
In the memory space, we remain constructive on SNDK (even following 62% appreciation in CY13) and Hynix. We also like MX in the specialty semi segment. In the LED space, our preferred name is OSR. Please see Figures 1-2 for the details.

Posted by bucki22 on 5/7/2013 5:34:00 PM (view original):What's everyone's thought on putting into a place a system of being "sought after" from schools in higher divisions? I have no clue if something like that would ever be feasible, but it sounds like it would be pretty cool. For example, you might be a highly successful (multiple CC and maybe a NC) coach in DII and you get an "offer" from a DIAA school. If you apply and get hired, you automatically get an additional $20,000 (or however much) for getting hired at a school that sought you out.
Just a thought I had today while at work...
Posted by cydrych on 5/8/2013 5:41:00 PM (view original):Instead of a flat $20,000, how about they get their fair share of the postseason money that all the other returning coaches get?
