Giuseppe Mazzini, (born June 22, 1805, Genoa [Italy]—died March 10, 1872, Pisa, Italy), Genoese propagandist and revolutionary, founder of the secret revolutionary society Young Italy (1832), and a champion of the movement for Italian unity known as the Risorgimento. An uncompromising republican, he refused to participate in the parliamentary government that was established under the monarchy of the House of Savoy when Italy became unified and independent (1861).
Education and exile.
Giuseppe Mazzini was a doctor's son; his birthplace, formerly a republic, was annexed to the Kingdom of Piedmont in 1814. As a child, he gave promise of high intellectual ability, fully confirmed when he entered the University of Genoa at 14. Two years later, strongly influenced by seeing a patriot fleeing from Italy after an unsuccessful insurrection, he began to think "that we Italians could and therefore ought to struggle for the liberty of our country."
On graduating in law in 1827, he practiced as a "poor man's lawyer," wrote articles for progressive reviews, and hoped to become a dramatist or historical novelist. But his life was already shaping itself differently. His love of freedom led him to join the Carbonari, a secret society pledged to overthrow absolute rule in Italy. In 1830 he was betrayed to the police, arrested, and interned at Savona, where for three months he reviewed his political beliefs and conceived the outlines of a new patriotic movement to replace the decaying Carbonari.
When released early in 1831, he was ordered either to leave Piedmont or to live in some small town. He chose exile and went to Marseille, where his slight figure, handsome olive features, black hair and beard, and black velvet suit were soon familiar to the other Italian exiles, who accepted him as their leader. His first public gesture was an "open letter" to Charles Albert, the king of Piedmont, urging him to give Piedmont constitutional government, to lead a national movement, and to expel the Austrians from Lombardy-Venetia and their other Italian strongholds. The letter was circulated in Italy, but Charles Albert's only reaction was to threaten Mazzini with arrest if he returned to Piedmont. As a lifelong republican, Mazzini was afterward censured for this friendly approach to an autocratic sovereign; he explained that he had meant to expose Charles Albert as one who would never fight for Italian freedom.
Foundation of Young Italy.
At Marseille Mazzini spent two of his most rewarding years. He founded his patriotic movement for young men and called it Giovine Italia (Young Italy). It was designed as a national association for liberating the separate Italian states from foreign rule and fusing them into a free and independent unitary republic. Its methods were education and insurrection, and it had a moral basis derived from Mazzini's own belief in God (though he was not a Christian) and in permanent laws of progress, duty, and sacrifice. It was the first Italian democratic movement embracing all classes, for Mazzini believed that only a popular initiative could free Italy. "Neither pope nor king," he declared. "Only God and the people will open the way of the future to us."
The new movement captured the imagination of Italian youth. Branches were secretly formed in Genoa and other cities; by 1833 there were 60,000 members. Mazzini edited the propagandist journal Giovine Italia, which was smuggled into Italy with other revolutionary pamphlets. He also became the lover of a fellow exile, the beautiful Modenese widow Giuditta Sidoli.
Young Italy's attempted insurrections were failures. A projected rising in Piedmont in 1833 was discovered before it had begun; 12 conspirators were executed, one committed suicide, and Mazzini was tried in absence and condemned to death. He said prophetically, "Ideas ripen quickly when nourished by the blood of martyrs." A few months later, when he had moved to Switzerland to escape from the French police, he tried to rally 1,000 volunteers to invade Savoy (then part of the kingdom of Piedmont). Only 200 could be mustered, and the force was disbanded.
These failures destroyed Young Italy as an organization, though its spirit lived on. Mazzini turned to wider revolutionary plans, based on his faith in the brotherhood of man and his hopes for a world republican federation. He founded Young Europe and helped to establish Young Germany, Young Switzerland, and Young Poland, but his three years in Switzerland were unhappy and frustrated. Giuditta Sidoli had gone back to Italy to rejoin her children; he suffered an emotional crisis through doubts and disillusionment. In 1837 he went with a few Italian friends to live in London.
Stay in England.
England was now his real home. He lived in modest London lodgings, surrounded by books, papers, and the tame birds in which he delighted; he studied at the British Museum and wrote for English periodicals. Though he had little money, he started a school for Italian boys in London and a newspaper, Apostolato popolare ("Apostleship of the People"), in which he published part of his essay "On the Duties of Man." In 1840, with the help of Giuseppe Lamberti in Paris, he revived Young Italy, primarily as a means of building up a national consciousness among Italians everywhere. He wrote innumerable letters to his new agents in Europe and North and South America; he also became acquainted with Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle and other notable people.
In 1844 he was in touch with the Bandiera brothers, who made an ill-fated attempt to start a revolt in Calabria. After their execution, he told two friends who were members of Parliament of his fears that the British government was opening his letters and had passed on information about the Bandieras' plans to the Neapolitan authorities. The matter was raised in Parliament, and the government was compelled to admit that it opened private letters. There was much public indignation and widespread sympathy with Mazzini. The affair made him better known in England and brought him into contact with a notable liberal family, the Ashursts. Many English liberals supported him when he founded the People's International League in 1847.
In that year he wrote an "open letter" to the new pope, Pius IX, who had introduced liberal reforms in the Papal States. He urged the pope to unify Italy, but Pius made no comment. Mazzini returned to Italy for the first time in the revolutionary year of 1848, when the Milanese drove out their Austrian masters and Piedmont began a war to expel the Austrians from Italy. Milan welcomed him, but he was soon unpopular because he wanted Lombardy to become a republic and he thought that union with the kingdom of Piedmont, as proposed by the Milanese provisional government, was the wrong kind of pattern for the future Italy. When the Piedmontese armies withdrew and the Austrians reentered Milan, he served briefly with an irregular force under Giuseppe Garibaldi before returning to England.
Triumvir of republican Rome.
Mazzini was again in Italy in 1849, first in Tuscany and then in Rome, where a revolution had driven out the pope and a republic had been proclaimed. He had long believed that the imperial and papal Romes would be followed by a third Rome—a Rome of the people; now his dream had come true. He was acclaimed as a great patriot, was elected a triumvir of the republic, and became the effective head of the government, showing great administrative talent in ecclesiastical and social reforms. His rule was short-lived. The pope appealed to Catholic countries for help, and a French army landed in Italy; after heroic resistance, the republic was crushed, and Mazzini left Rome.
Back in London, he founded another society—the Friends of Italy—in 1851 and was soon involved in new revolutionary activities. In 1853 he backed the Milanese workers in their unsuccessful rising against the Austrians. In 1853–54 he sent Felice Orsini on two unproductive missions to raise a revolt in Carrara. In 1856 he went secretly to Genoa to plan a number of simultaneous insurrections. The only one that was seriously attempted was Carlo Pisacane's disastrous landing in Calabria in 1857. Even the apparently futile conspiracies of this period had the useful effect, however, of keeping Italian problems before the governments of Europe. For these plots Mazzini was reviled in Piedmont, where the new moderate party was working for orderly progress without revolution. Count Cavour, the prime minister, called him "chief of the assassins," but this charge was unfair; Mazzini's plots were for insurrection, not assassination, and he expressly disclaimed the "theory of the dagger."
In 1858 Mazzini founded another journal in London: this was Pensiero ed azione ("Thought and Action"), a title reflecting his view that thought is only of value when it results in action. He did not participate in the Franco-Piedmontese war against Austria in 1859, by which Cavour with the help of Napoleon III vainly sought to free Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic; nor did he belong to the "party of action," which sponsored Giuseppe Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily in 1860. Yet this expedition has been called "Mazzini's gift to the 'party of action,' " for it followed plans devised by him in earlier years. Mazzini went to Naples during Garibaldi's brief dictatorship of southern Italy but was back in London when the new united Kingdom of Italy (excluding Venice and Rome) was proclaimed in 1861.
Impractical schemes for seizing Venice and Rome occupied Mazzini's mind in the 1860s. This was the decade of the Socialist First International; he had early contact with its members but soon withdrew, since the moral and religious basis of his own political thought prevented him from accepting either Karl Marx's communism or Mikhail Bakunin's anarchism. Messina repeatedly elected him as its parliamentary deputy, but the elections were quashed by the Italian government. In 1870 he misguidedly agreed to lead a republican rising in Sicily. He was arrested on his way there and interned at Gaeta but was released and pardoned after the occupation of Rome by Italian troops.
Accomplishments and reputation.
Mazzini's life was ending in disappointment, even though both Venice (acquired in 1866) and Rome were now part of the new kingdom. Italy had been united by fusion, as he had always advocated against strong opposition, rather than by federation, but it was a monarchy and not the republic he had wanted. "I thought I was awakening the soul of Italy, and I see only the corpse before me," he said.
In his last years he founded another paper, Roma del popolo ("Rome of the People"), which he edited from Lugano, and made plans for an Italian workingmen's congress. He died from pleurisy at Pisa in 1872. He had never married.
Mazzini's reputation has fluctuated greatly. In his earlier years, he was an almost legendary hero in his own country, but he was later denounced by many of his compatriots as an enemy of the state. For two generations after his death, most historians considered that his useful work ended in 1849 and that he should then have withdrawn from conspiracy.
A different view, however, prevails among modern historians. Many believe that all his plots were valuable, since they held out a permanent threat of violent revolution if Italy were not freed and united. By spurring on the Piedmontese government, and later the Italian government, to work for the national cause, he is now considered to have played an indispensable part in the making of modern Italy.Edgar Crawshaw Holt

Apple Patent Addresses Texting-Walking Risk
Mar 28, 2014 1:31 PM PT
Texting while walking can be dangerous, but Apple could be aiming to make it less so, judging from a patent awarded Thursday by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Apple has found an innovative way to use an electronic communication device's camera to continuously capture and present video images as background within a text-messaging session, its patent application 20140085334, titled "Transparent Texting," suggests.
The device's rear-facing camera could be used to make it appear the user was looking through a transparent screen. That would allow a texter to be continuously aware of the environment beyond the device's display, while continuing to text or engage in an instant messaging conversation.
"The background within the text messaging session can continuously be a live and current video image of the view seen by the camera at any given moment," Apple's patent application reads. "Consequently, the device's user is less likely to collide with or stumble over an object while participating in a text messaging session."
False Sense of Security
Currently, mobile messaging users are finding themselves in a "unique predicament," the application notes. That's because -- compared to someone using a laptop or desktop computer -- the mobile user is frequently in motion, which can present a problem for someone walking and texting at the same time.
"Due to the visual nature of a text messaging session, such a user often will find it difficult to divide his attention between his device's display and his environmental surroundings," the application says.
"A user who is walking while participating in a text messaging session may inadvertently collide with or stumble over objects in his path because his attention was focused on his device's display instead of the path that he was traversing," it points out.
"Even if a user remains stationary while participating in a text messaging session, that user may expose himself to some amount of danger or potential embarrassment if he is so engaged in his device's display that he becomes oblivious to changes in his surrounding environment," it explains.
As well meaning as Apple's patent application may be, it actually might encourage risky behavior because people would get a false sense of being aware of their environment.
"It's just like talking -- your head is somewhere else even though you can see what's in front of you," Jack Nasar, a city and regional planning professor at Ohio State University and co-author of a study on injuries from distracted walking, told TechNewsWorld.
Myth of Multitasking
Emergency room treatments of mobile-phone related injuries doubled from 2005 to 2010, last summer's Ohio State study found. More than two thirds of pedestrians' emergency room injuries (69 percent) were incurred while talking on a mobile phone, while 9 nine percent occurred while texting.
That's not surprising since fewer people text and walk than talk and walk. However, another behavior also may be influencing the lower injury count.
"If you're going to text, you're probably going to stop, while with talking everyone walks while doing it," Nasar said.
On its surface, Apple's see-through proposal sounds like a good idea, but that may not be the case on closer examination.
"We're not capable of doing two things at once," Nasar maintained. "We may rapidly go back and forth between texting and looking. That change could take a second or half a second -- time enough to walk into the street or walk in a hole."
Among the injuries Nasar found while studying emergency room visits were a 14-year-old boy who fell off a bridge while talking on his cellphone and a 23-year-old man struck by a car as he wandered into the road while talking on his mobile.
Not a Solution
Apple's proposed substitution of video for awareness won't make texting and walking less risky, contended Lisa Muratori, a clinical associate professor in the department of physical therapy at Stony Brook University and co-author of a study on the effect of cellphone distraction on walking and memory.
"The visual system just doesn't work like that. It doesn't make the same judgements," she told TechNewsWorld.
"I get the concept of what they're trying to do. I don't think it's going to solve the problem," she said.
"If they're texting and the video is popped up, there's no evidence that they'll be able to tend to those things at the same time. Even if I do shift my attention to the screen, the information I get is not the same information I get when I look out into the real world," Muratori pointed out. "I'm not confident this technology is going to assist people in being safer when they're using texting."

Publix's "Awesome Response!"
Red_eye and his wife shop at Publix, but the ATM outside the store seems to break on a weekly basis. He asked Publix to look into the situation:
My wife and I are loyal Publix shoppers but we have recently had a great deal of trouble using the at entrance ATM located at store number XXXXX. It is constantly breaking almost weekly I would say. One of the primary reasons we use it is my wife shops with cash, and if she cant get cash while at your store she wont shop there. The store management has been very sympathetic however they said to write Publix Corporate because there isn't anything they can do, hence this diatribe. Please address this problem with the ATM/Bank owner and get them to replace this broken faulty ATM with one that works since they have to fix it on nearly a weekly basis or soon the trouble for us and many others may make is simpler to shop elsewhere.
Publix responded the next day:
Mr. XXXXXX,
We've reviewed the maintenance history of the ATM at your Publix store…
…It does indeed have a history of problems related to how the money bills are "picked" during a transaction. A contracted technician from Diebold was at the store Tuesday trying to determine once and for all how to fix the unit. They think it may be related to how the money is loaded into the cassette by the armored courier. The courier company has also been contacted and retraining has been conducted by them with their guards. We will watch this unit and any issues with it closely.
I apologize that you have been frustrated during your visits to our store. We like to say we're good at customer service so when something goes wrong we take it very seriously. I'm sorry that it happened multiple times until you had to finally contact us. That is the last thing we want you to have to do. Hopefully the fixes mentioned above will resolve the problems, but we will continue to monitor the situation.
If you have any questions or concerns about this or any other matter, please don't hesitate to contact me or your store manager XXXXX XXXXX.

.comment: If Not Now, When?
Desktop Confusion
The Linux community is forever blathering on about "free as in speech," which in practical terms means that people who don't own it ought to have rights to other people's code.
Time, then, for an object lesson in real free speech. Two of them, actually. Last week in this space I wrote of my belief that standardization, not of the content of Linux distributions but of where those distributions put things, would be good for the widespread adoption of Linux, especially on the desktop, and would make life far easier for application developers. My good friend and onetime technical editor (Practical KDE) Bob Bernstein did not agree. Boy, oh, boy, he did not agree! He committed his disagreement to text, and that text appeared the following day on Linux Today. Bob and I have some pretty fundamental disagreements about the direction Linux ought to head, and when he finally unloaded he went as far as to allude to Nazism in characterizing my proposal. He will disagree with me this week, too. And he is still my friend. That is how free speech works.
In the intervening week, my point has moved closer to being moot. Mandrake, it appears, has not made a lot of money selling desktop Linux. If reports are accurate, things are pretty bleak at Mandrake. This leaves, by my count, three distributions with a chance of surviving: Red Hat (unless its money all goes to defending investor lawsuits, which is a sad possibility), SuSE (with the field thinning rapidly, SuSE has the most to gain from a mass migration of mere users to Linux), and of course Debian (and its close commercial relative, Progeny). We all expected some shaking out and some specialization. Storm Linux is gone, and Caldera has decided there's no money in chasing the desktop user. Seldom does a week go by that the rumors of TurboLinux's passing don't resurface, and from that we can at least draw inference that its fiscal health is not robust.
Indeed, with reports of Mandrake's situation coming out on Monday, my editor and friend Kevin Reichard offered the view that Linux is dead as a desktop operating system. And now it is my turn to disagree, at least somewhat. That, friends, is free speech.
I disagree with Kevin not in his view that things look bad for Linux as a desktop operating system but in his view that the cause is lost. I don't think it need be. Indeed, the potential for Linux to become a major player on the desktop has never been better. Whether that potential will become reality remains to be seen. Let me explain the factors that I believe represent the brightest opportunity that Linux has ever had.What Would It Take?
History is full of evidence that the most technically profound way of doing things doesn't always win through sheer technical profundity. I don't think that even the engineers at Japan Victor Corporation, its inventor, would seriously argue that VHS is superior to Sony's Beta format for home videotaping. Indeed, Sony owned the market for a few years a couple of decades ago. But Sony used its position to keep prices high, and its licensing fees were such that other manufacturers found JVC's way of doing things more fiscally attractive.
Likewise, after putting out the first PCs with open architecture that could be copied by anyone, IBM developed its far superior Micro Channel Architecture. This it did not make open, choosing instead to license it to other manufacturers. Other manufacturers decided that EISA, VLB, and, later, PCI were cheaper and almost as good. There are few MCA machines around today -- I know Alan Cox has one, but then again I still have a Betamax around here someplace.
An outfit in Berkeley cranked out a nifty little GUI and productivity suite a decade ago called GeoWorks, and from a technical standpoint it knocked the socks off of the just-released Windows 3.0. But the company was slow in putting together a software development kit, so it never gained the momentum it deserved. IBM -- in a litany of things done wrong, IBM always gets at least a couple of mentions -- produced OS/2, which had features that no one else, nine years later, has equaled. It also ran 16-bit Windows applications in addition to its own native, multithreaded, really cool apps. Microsoft was at the time being extremely kind to application developers, while IBM, startled by the fact that actual users were migrating to OS/2 (there was actually a period in late 1994 when OS/2 Warp3 was the top-selling software in the U.S.), proved an unsteady partner at best. So developers decided that by writing for Windows they could sell to users of both programs -- Windows was at that time just a DOS GUI, not an operating system -- and there ended up being relatively few OS/2 apps.
The common thread here is that through mishandling, superior technology never enjoyed the success that one would figure it would achieve, looking at the specs .
It can't be argued that Linux isn't technically superior to anything coming out of Redmond. If technical achievement were the determining factor, it would already be the dominant operating system. It isn't, on both counts.
Now. There are those who argue against the widespread adoption of Linux, and still others who would argue against it if it would mean the slightest bow toward that goal -- arriving at a common file hierarchy standard, for instance. If you are among those, go read something else or spike a tree or something -- I have no time for you now. But if you think that there is reason to hope for widespread adoption of Linux on the desktop, read on.
We've been asking the wrong question.
The majority of computer users got their machines in a box, all put together, with speakers, and a CD reader, a big hard drive, and Windows. (And a 3.5-inch floppy drive. Does anyone else still keep a 5.25-inch drive in the production machine? Have you used it anytime this century? Me neither.) The machine came with various little applications, and maybe some big ones, and they mostly work. Fact is, for the home or small office user who doesn't try anything very exotic, Windows and its applications aren't all that unreliable. These people can go to the store and find shelf upon shelf of software and hardware that is designed for and will work just fine with Windows.
What would it take to get these users to migrate to Linux? That's the question we ought to be asking. (And no, the answer is not to make Linux just like Windows, which is what the angry mob always falls back on when, after about 15 seconds, their anger entirely replaces their already limited powers of reasoning.)
To get a user to abandon something that he or she is using, one needs either to capitalize on the user's dissatisfaction with the present product or offer something so vastly superior that it's worth the trouble.
Windows users seem largely satisfied. That may be about to change, and in that change is the first step toward Linux on the desktop. Microsoft's new licensing policies are going to anger a lot of people and inconvenience damn near everybody. They're designed to prevent counterfeiting their software, which is the only way it has achieved dominance in much of the world. In the far East, one buys Windows, any version, from a pirate for $5 per CD. In the Mideast, one doesn't usually even have to pay the five bucks -- not long ago I reformatted a hard drive, looking over its contents first to make sure I didn't have an ohnosecond, remembering something there I wanted to save, and I found an Arabic version of Word 2.0, put on the machine by someone when I was in Kuwait in 1993. But if having the CD with Windows on it does you no good, a substantial part of the world is going to be looking for alternatives.
As, truth be known, will a lot of Western businesses. Many small businesses, with, say, a five-node network, will find ponying up the bread for five licenses of everything a sudden and troubling expense. Ah, you say, so they'll just stick with what they have. Well, maybe. But if they have to exchange documents with customers, they will have to upgrade, because Microsoft has mastered the art of selling upgrades: They change the file formats. Do you really think anybody would have bought Winword in the last five years but for the need to read the new file format?
So the opportunity for Linux to make inroads on the desktop has never been better. That does not assure success, though. In some countries it could just as easily result in a wider divide between the haves and the have nots, as those who can afford it pay their tribute to Microsoft, while those who can't keep using what they have or simply decide against investment in a computer. And we mustn't overlook the likelihood that Microsoft's little system will get cracked; everything else they have has been.
But the potential for Linux to make its move is there.

Elton John Cancels Alabama Concert For Medical Reasons
Elton John's concert in Birmingham, Ala. on Friday (March 15) night was canceled due to unspecified medical reasons. The announcement was made hours before the show at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena was to begin.
Last night was supposed to be the opening night of a three-week tour of the South, concluding in Winston-Salem, N.C. on April 6. According to Rolling Stone, no information about the status of John's concert tonight (March 16) at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn. has been given.
In May 2012, John canceled four shows from his Million Dollar Piano residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas after being hospitalized for a serious respiratory infection. A month later he was forced by police to shut down in mid-concert at the Blackpool Tower Headland when strong winds posed a threat to the stage.
John's concerts have come under scrutiny in recent weeks when his hotel rider for a concert in Brazil was leaked to the press. In addition to some of the usual concessions to rock star excess, he required an entire climate-controlled room to store his eyeglasses.

FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas guard Michael Qualls feels much more comfortable on the court 13 games into his freshman season.
Classmates Jacorey Williams, Anthlon Bell and Dee Wagner feel the same.
The freshmen, who have been brought along slowly at times by Arkansas coach Mike Anderson, believe it was evident during their extended minutes against Delaware State last Saturday. And they�re confident Anderson noticed as the Razorbacks prepare to open Southeastern Conference play this week.
�I think coach has a better feel of what we can do,� Qualls said Monday. �Hopefully we can get out there if we can and show him what we learned.�
Arkansas will lean on veterans like BJ Young and Marshawn Powell to lead the Razorbacks (9-4) through the 18-game conference schedule, which begins with Wednesday�s game at Texas A&M (10-3). But Anderson has said several times Arkansas� strength must be its bench, so it�s no secret the four freshmen will have an important say in how much success the Razorbacks enjoy the next nine weeks.
The potential was on display in the Delaware State win last week. Arkansas turned to its bench after building an early lead, then watched it balloon behind the reserves and the freshmen played a key role in the success.
Williams provided effort and energy on both ends of the floor. Qualls made athletic plays around the basket. Bell knocked down a career-high four 3-pointers.
�It helped a lot,� Bell said. �Especially last game going into conference play. It gave me the confidence to go out there and know I can make shots and help my team.�
In all, the freshmen accounted for 28 of Arkansas� 41 points off the bench. Anderson said it was a good way to end nonconference play, while guard Mardracus Wade believes it was clear the freshmen are showing they can help when it counts.
�I think they�re a little more patient, they know the system better,� Wade said. �They still need to work on some better spacing on offense, but as far as their energy, coming off the bench and helping us, they�re great at that. They come in and give us a ton of energy. They come in deflecting balls, stealing balls, getting rebounds, blocking shots. Those are the kind of things we need.�
It wasn�t as promising earlier this season. In fact, there were times when Anderson elected to use the freshmen sparingly during the teeth of the nonconference slate.
The most notable game came in the 80-67 loss at Michigan. While Kikko Haydar and Rickey Scott made big contributions off the bench, the freshmen played a combined 10 minutes and were largely relegated to soaking in the atmosphere on the road.
But Williams said he and his classmates understood Anderson�s reasoning.
�That was kind of like our, really, first big road test,� Williams said. �So for a freshman to be in that type of environment, it�s kind of hard to play in that type of environment. By me understanding that and the other freshmen understanding that, it makes it better on ourselves.�
Williams has made the biggest jump since, averaging 6 points and 2.8 rebounds in five games. Qualls is averaging 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds and Bell is averaging 4.4 points, getting most of them during a 12-point performance against Delaware State. Wagner is averaging 2.4 points and 1.4 assists during the stretch.
Anderson said he�s starting to trust the group much more now, thanks to a five-game win streak. Young, Powell, Mardracus Wade and Hunter Mickelson have continued to lead the way, but freshmen contributions are also clear.
�I think that with the games that we have had, we have had a chance to get those guys some more valuable time out there,� Anderson said.
Bell said the veterans have cautioned the freshmen about the intensity in conference games and said they�ll have to be ready for the next step. They�ve told them about the physical nature of the games. They�ve mentioned the two-month grind.
The Memphis native said he�s prepared and armed with more confidence after playing well in the nonconference finale. Williams, Qualls and Wagner feel the same.
�I think these guys are ready,� Young said about the freshmen �They came here to play, and I think that�s what they�re ready to do.�

Expressing myself
Ellen is vegetarian, so thanks to her I've eaten better in Berlin than I think I did the whole last year (granted that my frame of reference is all messed up when it comes to food, but still).
On Tuesday Scott dragged us to a free jazz concert. Simon even contemplated joining and playing along. I was busy being generally freaked out. In the middle of the thing one of the guys playing, walked away from his keyboard, lied down in the middle, on his back, hiked his legs way up in the air and started wiggling his feet. Everyone was clapping and cheering. I've learned that he was not "messed up" as I, personally thought, but was "expressing himself" which is a good thing. I'm not 100% certain how to distinguish between the two but I'm sure I can use this "expressing myself" thing to my advantage. In fact Simon and I kept expressing ourselves throughout our stay in Berlin by getting lost all the time. It's not that we had no clue where we were going - we were simply trying to show that humans, as individuals, are sometimes getting lost in this great world, but no matter how lost one gets, how smelly the subway is that took one the wrong direction or how funny the word "wurst" is, there always is Ellen waiting with some food or maybe even Snapple's... Or something along those lines. I'm still trying to work out this pretentious art thing, but I think I almost got it.
Simon and I even had a few minutes to look at WebKit. I haven't looked at it since we have done the initial port. We fixed most of the serious issues. The rendered pages should all look fine.
I still have 3 patches in WebKit's bugzilla but hopefully they'll get in soon. It feels a little weird to be writing patches, for code that I wrote, fixing my bugs in a project I've been working on for so long and not being able to commit myself. Waiting for others to review and commit my patches to my code is a little, well, silly. But I understand, they changed some style rules and are trying to keep it consistent, while my motivation to read "style guide" documents is basically zero so it's ok to have people look over the patches to make sure they match the style guide.
Right now it mostly sucks for me because I'm forced to keep a few patchsets and since a few of them are not in the main repository, I have to be reverting them to work on fixing something else and wait for them to be committed to the main repository. I think it will take me two or three days of spare-time work to get it to a point where it's more/less usable and once it's there I can comfortably leave it to George and Niko who did amazing job up till now. Plus there seems to be great interest in it from others. Personally, with my todo, I couldn't be bothered to work like I am right now - maintaining local patchsets and reverting and applying them over again, that workflow is just too painful to keep it up. I have this strange perversion where I like to commit my patches to my code myself =) But as I found out in Germany, that's not weird, that's just me expressing myself.

Hope you liked Berlin, and Germany at all - and if you really struggle to get vegetarian food in Norway (?), you should ask a friend in Germany to send you a package once in a while - that's not too expensive, I think.
And its better than starving :D
However, about the WebKit stuff: I'm really confused what's going on now: who is in charge for what, and who is developing with whom, and most important: what will we have for KDE 4? And where fits Apple in this picture?
I hoped to get some more information on the khtml.info page, but that is dead for more than a week now...

Just a reaction to your patching-pain: have you tried a repository like Mercurial? (altough Git likely has the same functionality)
Especially the Patch Queue sounds like it could make your life a lot easier.
That way you could maintain a local repository (or several of them) and apply, re-apply, reorder and remove patches at your leisure.

As liquidat asked, I'd like to summarize a bit about WebKit (however I know very little about it).
WebKit (www.webkit.org) has never seen a brightest light, with Apple, Nokia, and many other people, some of which happen to work on KDE too, working on the same repository. Unfortunately (or luckily!!), given the amount of work that Apple people put on that in recent times, they host the repository and have very strict rules. This is because code written by tens of hands is always a mess if everyone can do what he wants, but if you look at the shape of the Open Source Code you can download from the site, you'll be pleased !
The main difference from KHTML is in the structure of the code. WebKit is really portable, with a core html+js engine and a platform abstraction. On the same repository you find quartz, qt, win, gtk implementations using xcode, makefiles, cmake and other build systems. It really already has everything you'll need (and maybe more!).. Scary ;-)
No matter if it will be shipped by default with KDE4 or not, since it's already Qt4 (thanks to Zack, Simon, Dirk and George and their work that made the qt4 backend http://dot.kde.org/1152645965/) and, most of all, it's an open source project so every free person in this very planet has the right to make it a sand-alone app, a gui-engine, a teapot, or even konqueror plugin! ;-)

No way the previous comment is meant to be correct or not to be misleading. ;-) I also hacked in a copule of typ0s and wording errors that only the dumbest will notice ;-D

Today I used bzr to merge my local changes with a new upstream version of FBReader. It was very painless and nice. Check out http://bazaar-vcs.org/TrackingUpstream
I'm pretty sure git or Mercurial would have worked just as well.
- November 2, 2006 at 5:38 PM
The situation is simple: Apple is in total control of WebKit and declined to share this control when asked.
So the unification project (which was just euphemism for dropping our branch completely anyway) just ended there.
If things stay as they are, WebKitQt will be an independant project, while KDE4 ships with KHTML as a default (and very much competing) engine.
It doesn't look like a bad situation.

Though to me it looks like a bad situation when there are not-shared efforts around improving the khtml code, I say thank you for clarifying the situation. :)

Just saw this note about your acceptance as a WebKit contributor - congrats! :)

You must check that a job applicant is allowed to work for you in the UK before you employ them.
You must see the applicant's original documents
You must check that the documents are valid with the applicant present.
You must make and keep copies of the documents and record the date you made the check.
You could face a civil penalty if you employ an illegal worker and haven't carried out a correct right to work check.
You must not discriminate against anyone because of their race.
Checking the documents
You need to check that:
the documents are genuine, original and unchanged and belong to the person who has given them to you
the dates for the applicant's right to work in the UK haven't expired
photos are the same across all documents and look like the applicant
dates of birth are the same across all documents
the applicant has permission to do the type of work you're offering (including any limit on the number of hours they can work)
for students you see evidence of their study and vacation times
if 2 documents give different names, the applicant has supporting documents showing why they're different, eg a marriage certificate or divorce decree
Read the guidance on how to carry out right to work checks and what documents you can accept.
Further checks
You'll have to make further checks on your worker if they have a limited right to work in the UK.
Taking a copy of the documents
When you copy the documents:
make a copy that can't be changed, eg a photocopy
for passports, copy any page with the expiry date and applicant's details (eg nationality, date of birth and photograph) including endorsements, eg a work visa
for biometric residence permits and residence cards (biometric format), copy both sides
for all other documents you must make a complete copy

record the date the check was made
Make sure you follow data protection law.
If the job applicant can't show their documents

you're reasonably satisfied that they can't show you their documents because of an outstanding appeal, administrative review or application with the Home Office
they have an Application Registration Card
they have a Certificate of Application that is less than 6 months old
Application registration cards and certificates of application must state that the work the employer is offering is permitted. Many of these documents don't allow the person to work.
The Home Office will send you a 'Positive Verification Notice' to confirm that the applicant has the right to work. You must keep this document.
If you need more help
Read the guidance if you need more help.
You can also contact the Home Office.

2008 Idaho Trail Tour - So Fun Snow RunPosted in Events on November 1, 2008
"OK you guys, snowball fight is over," yelled trail boss Scott Frary. "Our local boys here have a special treat for y'all. How about a private spaghetti feed at a rustic mountain lodge accessible (usually) only by snowmobile?"
The flying snow stopped, and roughly 46 winter-clad, hungry 'wheelers headed for their rigs, licking their chops. As if the day hadn't already been special. It was 1:30 p.m. on Day One of Trail Tour 2008, and 24 rigs had already been playing for several hours under a bright-blue Idaho sky in unbelievably perfect snow conditions for 4x4s.
Sometimes the boys responsible for all the cool 4x4 toys on market just gotta get out of the office and play too. That is pretty much what Trail Tour is all about. It's a chance for invited who's who names in the industry, along with their families, to get together with their fellow entrepreneurs, blow the cobwebs out of their not-used-enough trail rigs, polish up their driving skills, eat too much, laugh a lot, and see some great country they otherwise would probably never see.
Trail Tour is the brainchild of Scott Frary of Eaton/Detroit Locker. There have been four Trail Tours to date, each one held in a different location in the Northwest. In was held in Washington in 2005, Montana in 2006, and Oregon in 2007. This year was Idaho's turn. Trail Tour 2008 was sponsored by MasterCraft and held in the beautiful mountainous areas around Coeur d'Alene during the last week of April. This year was a banner snow year for northern Idaho, and in late April there was still plenty of it to be found - up to 6 feet in some places! Local 'wheelers Phil Rohr, Rick Henson, Chad Howell, Bob Jutila, Mark Berger, and Garrett Ness went over and beyond the call of duty to ensure we had a blast 'wheeling (and eating) in their neck of the woods.
Trail Tour 2008 ran from Monday through Friday with a different trail each day. Nights were spent in warm rooms in town, which was a welcome reprieve after 'wheeling in the snow all day. Monday and Tuesday nights were spent in Coeur d'Alene, while the rest of the week was spent about 60 miles east in historic Wallace, Idaho. One of the main rules for Trail Tour is no trailers allowed. Each participating rig had to be street-legal and capable of running at highway speeds to get from trail to trail. They also had to be quite capable on the trail with 35-inch-or-larger rubber, lockers in both ends, a winch, recovery gear, rollbar, CB, onboard tools and spare parts, and survival clothing for winter conditions. Fullsize rigs were allowed but not recommended due to the tight trails we encountered. Nobody brought a "fullsize" rig, but Off Road Evolution's built four-door JK on 40s came real close!
The spaghetti feed was incredible, as was every other facet of Trail Tour 2008. There is much more to this tour than just the great 'wheeling. The camaraderie among the participants - including some who have run all four Trail Tours, former trail guides and helpers from past years, and the current year's guides (who provided secret locals-only trails, restaurants, and historical lore) - made for an experience that will not soon be forgotten by those lucky enough to attend. For everyone who wants to see their favorite manufacturers at play, check out the next several pages of photos and their captions from Day One and Day Two. Next month we'll show you Days Three, Four, and Five of this weeklong snowfest. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed shooting them.

3 Strikes and You're Out: An Idea for Imperfect Parenting
2 comments:
wow such a great idea. my triplets boys are 3 1/2 years old and really sometimes i think it's all over my head!!! i'll give a try to your 3 strikes system!ReplyDelete
thank's for the idea.
I was also an expert at raising kids before my son was born, haha. I have said many times that God gave him to me to prove me wrong about every idea i've ever had about children, how to raise them, and how they should behave. I too have found myself (sometimes daily) sitting wondering if I am the only mom who doesn't have a clue what she's doing. I pray (again daily) that I won't screw him up and 20 years down the road he won't come to me and say "wow mom you really were clueless and messed me up for life". I think parenting, while it's the most amazing blessing on this earth, is the one thing no one can tell you how to do. Trial and error, lots of prayers, and not listening to negativity from others is parenting in a nutshell in my opinion. If the 3 strikes works for you then I say go for it, I love the idea. When my little one gets older I may try it myself! Good Luck!!!ReplyDelete

My husband, Bill, Me, our son Jay and his lovely bride Brooklyn!
I plan to go back and play catch-up, hopefully during the Christmas holidays. But, for now let's talk about Thanksgiving!! One of our very first projects this year was special. Last spring our Director of Children's Minister, Mrs. Brenda Clark did a little house cleaning. It was like "Christmas in April" for me. I found so many things little treasures! One of my favorites was several packages of very "strange" looking artificial leaves.
Trust me, NO ONE would want to use these for leaves! But, I did want to use them for feathers!!! It was so much fun letting the children pick out their very own combination of leaves. If you look closely, you may notice that the turkey is made from shapes. The body is an oval, the eyes of course are circles, the beak is a diamond shape that magically turns into a triangle when you close it and finally those cute little feet are stars. I think he is so cute!
Like most teachers, I love new supplies! Look what showed up in our supply closet . . .
This is some very good stuff and the children love it! It isn't as messy as regular glue and a lot more fun to "dab" on.
Our next project came to us by one of my former student's Mom. We loved it!
We used vegetable rotini. I think I like it because as with most project, the process was so much fun. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that it was fun to "dip" the pasta in the glue. Yep, it was messy - very messy, but lots and lots of fun. By the way, walking around all day making turkey sounds NEVER gets old for a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds! We have had so much fun gobbling around our classroom.
Our next project is an old favorite. I say old because we have actually done it before and if you are a regular reader of my blog, you know I like to add new things each year. But, this is just too cute and fun. The children got so excited painting the toilet tissue rolls. I kept asking them what they thought we were making and I loved their answers. I got everything from "trees" to "a dirty truck".
The feathers are their hand prints and the feet are stars (again). The turkeys actually stand up so I hope at least one or two of these little guys will be the centerpiece of someone's Thanksgiving table.
Okay, you know those good 'ole hand print turkeys that we have made for years and years?? Well, we have given them a little twist.
Since we are 3 and 4 years old, we need something more than just a hand print! The children had the best time putting beads onto a pipe cleaner. I love watching them pick out their favorite colors. Can you tell what color "B-man" likes . . .
Yep, he spent so much time picking out his beloved "green" beads. Oh, the little pieces of burlap were placed on some old pieces of cardboard and held on with large gold brads. SUPER CUTE and FUN!
Goodness gracious, we did a lot of turkeys these last few weeks. I will post our other Thanksgiving ideas later (I promise). In the mean time, I hope you give a few of these ideas a try.
