Worked For Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal
Page One
Reporter Admits He's A Marxist
"Eugene V. Debs may be my all-time
favorite American and Karl Marx my all-time favorite journalist,"
former Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times
reporter A. Kent MacDougall proclaimed recently. In November and
December articles for the Monthly Review, "an independent
socialist magazine," he explained that as a "closet socialist
boring unobtrusively from within," he had little trouble promoting
Marxist ideas in his news stories.
How did someone who also wrote articles
for the American Socialist and communist Daily Worker
manage this? MacDougall reasoned "that while newspaper owners and
editors don't go out looking for stories that make the capitalist system
look bad, the best don't flinch from running such stories if they meet
mainstream journalistic standards for accuracy and objectivity."
During his days at the Journal
from 1962 to 1972 MacDougal "took full advantage of the latitude Journal
reporters have to pick their own feature story topics and report on them
in depth." MacDougall proudly recalled how he "introduced
readers to the ideas of radical historians, radical economists...in
sympathetic page-one stories."
"I made sure to seek out experts
whose opinions I knew in advance would support my thesis," he
boasted, and "sought out mainstream authorities to confer
recognition and respectability on radical views I sought to
In 1977 the Times hired
MacDougall as a "special business correspondent" able to pick
his own stories. "I lost no time making it obvious where my
sympathies lay," MacDougall reported, noting that "of the
first dozen stories I wrote for the Times, one profiled the
leftist magazine Mother Jones and two others profiled Marxist
In the early 1980's MacDougall got an
opportunity to write a series that offered a Marxist explanation as to
"why the United States is among the least equal of mature
capitalist economies." Times editors nominated it for a
Pulitzer Prize. MacDougall left the Times in 1987 to find a new
vehicle for his views: "I picked up a pension (opposing the system
is no reason to pass up an opportunity to make it work for one) and
joined the faculty of the Graduate School of Journalism at the
University of California, Berkeley" where "tenure gives me the
luxury of coming out of the ideological closet at last."
Revolving Door
NBC Promotes Cuomo Aide.
NBC News Vice President Tim Russert is back in Washington again. On
Inauguration Day, January 20, he became Washington Bureau Chief. Russert
last worked in Washington as Chief of Staff to Senator Patrick Moynihan
(D-NY) until 1982 when he moved to New York to serve as counselor to
liberal Governor Mario Cuomo. He jumped to NBC just after the 1984
election, soon gaining responsibility over the content of Today
and Nightly News. NBC News President Michael Gartner is
grooming Russert for bigger things. "After two years at the helm in
Washington," Gartner announced, "Tim will assume new
management responsibilities in New York."
In another part of Gartner's
re-organization of the division he took over last summer, he put Senior
Vice President Tom Ross in charge of a new strategic planning
department. Ross worked for the Carter Administration as Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.
Voice Change.
Just after the new year began Jonathan Larsen became Editor in Chief of
the Village Voice, the trendy liberal weekly in New York City.
Larsen was Time magazine's Saigon Bureau Chief from 1970-1971
and a Life Senior Editor earlier this decade. He succeeds
Martin Gottleib, a New York Times reporter before moving to the
Voice in 1986.
Time to Quayle.
Vice President Dan Quayle has tapped David Beckwith, a Time
correspondent since 1971 (with the exception of three years with Legal
Times), as his Press Secretary. Beckwith covered economics and
legal issues for the magazine until being assigned to the White House a
couple of years ago. He followed the Bush campaign last year.
Reich at Night. CBS Nightwatch
viewers got a surprise when they switched on the show just before New
Year's Day. A CBS News reporter has always filled in when regular host
Charlie Rose took vacation, but not on December 29, 30 and January 2.
CBS selected Robert Reich, who identified himself only as a professor of
political economy at Harvard University.
Over the three early mornings he
proceeded to interview Democratic presidential aspirant Bruce Babbitt,
whom he called "an attractive candidate;" moderated a
discussion about Castro's achievements; and discussed Reagan's record
with three liberal reporters, agreeing Reagan used to have "too
simplistic a view of the Soviet Union." CBS never told viewers
Carter appointed Reich to a high level Federal Trade Commission
position, nor did it reveal he was a key economic adviser to the Dukakis
More Praise Than
Castro's 30th
January 1 marked 30 years of communist
rule in Cuba, but the network evening news shows didn't view the
anniversary as anything particularly newsworthy. Not one story was
dedicated to Cuba's political repression. Some network morning shows and
news magazines, however, took notice.
On the anniversary, NBC's Sunday
Today rebroadcast segments of co-host Maria Shriver's trip to Cuba
last February. The essence of her message: while there are problems with
Cuba, Castro has been for the better and has provided for his people:
"Schools, family doctors, hospitals...the level of public services
was remarkable," she gushed, "free education, medicine, and
heavily subsidized housing."
On January 4, CBS This Morning's
Harry Smith picked up on yet another liberal line: the cause of
disgruntled exiles who want reconciliation with Cuba. He did give some
airtime to those who object to a rapprochement with Castro, but
sympathized with liberal exiles: "[These] 30 years have been marked
by limited contact between exiles and their homeland. And for some that
isolation has become unbearable." He went on to feature Maria
Herrera, whose views "last Spring cost her a corner of her home to
a bomb."
Harry Reasoner gave a more balanced
assessment on 60 Minutes. Though he repeated the distorted
communist line on "strides in medicine, education, and
housing," Reasoner noted that "over one million Cubans have
fled," and that "many young people are yearning for a change
and a chance to leave." Reasoner also sought out a prominent Cuban
human rights activist to rebut government claims that it does not hold
political prisoners.
ABC's Good Morning America
co-host Charles Gibson was the most willing to raise the horrid side of
Castro's communist Cuba. On January 2, he asked liberal Congressman
Robert Torricelli: "Fidel Castro gave a speech yesterday...It was
as hard line as he's ever been. 'Socialism or Death!' 'Marxist-Leninism
or Death!' Why should we cozy up to somebody like that?"
Predictable Planetary Panaceas.
In lieu of the annual "Man of the Year," Time
magazine chose "The Endangered Earth" as "The Planet of
the Year." Time Publisher Robert Miller called it an
"unorthodox choice." That may be true, but once chosen, the
magazine's approach to their annual feature was anything but unorthodox
-- it was typical.
In almost forty pages titled "What
On Earth Are We Doing?" Time writers reviewed a multitude
of liberal concerns, from toxic waste, fossil fuel pollution,
deforestation, endangered species, the greenhouse effect, and the
burgeoning global population problem.
What are the solutions "earth's
vulnerability to man's reckless ways?" Time dropped all
pretense of objectivity, calling upon the U.S. to implement the usual
liberal panaceas: "Raise the Gasoline Tax," and
"Encourage Debt-for-Nature Swaps." Criticizing the Reagan
Administration for cutting off aid to international agencies that use
abortion, Time demanded the U.S. "immediately restore the
Surprise Verdict on Reaganomics.
When Newsweek reviewed Reagan's economic legacy in the December
26 issue, MediaWatch expected the worst. But
the magazine offered a refreshing surprise. Under the headline of
"The Magic of Reaganomics," Chief Economic Correspondent Rich
Thomas asserted that Reagan's "ideas have helped beat back
inflation and produce real growth that for the past six years has
surpassed that of any major nation except Japan."
After explaining how the theories of
Milton Friedman and determination of John Wayne guided Reagan, Thomas
concluded they "have helped Reagan compile the most impressive
peacetime economic record of any modern President--a legacy of bold
thinking and true grit."
Brady Bags Big Business.
The liberal Citizens for Tax Justice released a report attacking 16
large corporations for not paying any taxes after the 1986 Tax Reform
bill, CBS News reporter Ray Brady served as it's dutiful mouthpiece.
On the Sept. 22 Evening News, he reviewed
some of the examples and informed people on the street of the study.
They predictably complained about the unfairness. Brady concluded:
"If all the companies in its survey paid the regular corporate tax
rate of 40 percent, the government would have collected an extra $70
billion, enough to put a big dent in that huge federal deficit."
On December 9, The Washington Post
published a story on a survey of 1,000 corporations by Tax Analysts,
described as "a respected tax and information service." The
study determined Big Business paid an average tax rate of 24.72 percent
on their profits in 1987, up from 21.54 percent in 1986. MediaWatch
called Mr. Brady to ask why he ignored the study. He hung up.
A Retail "Ho-ho?" NBC
Says "Oh, No!" On December 16, NBC's Irving R. Levine
took a look at Christmas sales. He didn't like what he found.
"Merchants are pulling out all the stops to head off disaster,
including early mark downs and gimmicks," he warned. "After
six years without a recession, and heavy consumer spending, people are
worried about the economy and prices are higher."
By Christmas Eve Levine realized his dire
warning was off the mark, explaining: "Retailers were saved from a
dismal shopping season by the calendar. This year there were two more
shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas than last year."
The day after Christmas Levine estimated sales would probably end up
seven percent from 1987. "Not a boom business," Levine
On January 5 ABC's Peter Jennings
described the season as "a very merry Christmas for the nation's
retailers" as "the largest in the country, Sears, had the
biggest month in its 102 year history." Levine missed that.
Networks Prefer
"Pro-Choice," Not "Pro-Life"
"Pro-choice groups said today that
their battle is not over," NBC Nightly News anchor Tom
Brokaw announced on November 10. Reporter Andrea Mitchell then proceeded
to detail the actions of "anti- abortion activists" and
"abortion opponents" in election day referenda on public
abortion funding. "Pro-choice activists," she said, were
"very worried about Bush and Quayle." NBC's story, and its use
of labels to describe the two sides in the abortion debate, typified
network news coverage of the issue during the last four months of 1988.
Objective reporting dictates that
journalists adhere to balance in their use of labels. For example, use
"pro-life" and "pro-choice," or
"anti-abortion" and "pro-abortion," or offer an
equal number of positive and negative labels on each side. But a MediaWatch
study reveals that when it came to stories on abortion, the networks
ignore all standards of objectivity.
reviewed all stories that discussed abortion aired on ABC World News
Tonight, the CBS Evening News, CNN PrimeNews, and
NBC Nightly News.
found 49 stories that included labels. With 87 mentions, the
"anti-abortion" tag was used most often by reporters or
anchors, with another 5 references to "abortion foes." The
terms "pro-life" or "right to life" were used only
24 times, less than one-third as often.
How did they label abortion supporters?
The networks' were far more sympathetic. Only once were those groups
called "pro-abortion." Instead, they were called the term they
prefer, "pro-choice," 19 times. Thirteen other times, they
were given euphemistic labels such as "abortion rights
advocates," "family planning advocates" or "birth
control advocates." In other words, the "pro-choice"
forces wee designated by their preferred label 97 percent of the time.
The "pro-life" forces were afforded their desired label only
21 percent of the time.
Some networks were less objective than
others. For instance, NBC used the "anti-abortion" label 17
times, while using the "pro-life" label just once. When it
came to abortion proponents, htough, NBC reporters dubbed them
"pro-choice" three times, "abortion rights" once,
and "family planning advocates" twice. No one at NBC used the
term "pro-abortion." CBS used "pro-life" labels most
often -- 38 percent of the time -- but still gave a great advantage to
abortion supporters, using positive, euphemistic terms to describe them
92 percent of the time.
Most abortion labels arose in three
1) Judicial Decisions:
On Nov. 11, CBS' Rita Braver informed viewers that a court ruling
against federal abortion funding would please "anti-abortion"
activists. Anchor Dan Rather characterized Roe vs. Wade as the Supreme
Court's 15 year old ruling on "abortion rights." In a Dec. 20
report by NBC's Jim Miklaszewski, Jack Fowler of the Ad Hoc Committee in
Defense of Life was captioned as an "anti-abortion activist."
But in Andrea Mitchell's Nov. 10 report, pro-abortion spokeswoman Dottie
Lamm was labeled simply as "wife of former governor" Richard
2) Abortion Demonstrators:
When pro-lifers taunted Democratic presidential candidate Michael
Dukakis on September 6, the networks presented the protestors as
"anti-abortion activists." CNN's Tom Mintier called the
demonstrators "pro-life," but only after a lead-in by anchor
Bernard Shaw labeled them "anti- abortion" three times. That
same night, NBC's Chris Wallace outlined the candidates' positions on
abortion. Bush, he said, "opposes abortion," while Dukakis is
The efforts of Operation Rescue
protestors did not go unnoticed by the networks, but again the labeling
favored abortion advocates. On October 4, NBC's Kenley Jones followed
anchor Tom Brokaw's introduction about the arrest of "anti-abortion
protestors" by remarking that "abortion rights advocates"
believed the demonstrators had little effect. CBS' James Hattori gave
perhaps the most even-handed report on October 29, referring to the two
sides as "pro-life" and "pro-choice."
3) Medical Developments:
ABC's George Strait remarked without irony that an abortifacient pill,
opposed by "anti-abortion groups," could be "a
lifesaver" in the Third World. On Sept. 15, CBS' Susan Spencer
characterized the debate over fetal research as a battle between
"science" and the "anti-abortion movement."
A controversial social issue such as
abortion demands even-handed treatment. The networks have proven
themselves incapable of this task. By their biased use of labels to
characterize the two sides of the issue, reporters have unfairly colored
the national debate on abortion.

The OLPC Operating System
Your operating system is the software suite that allows the sharing of your computer system's resources (processor, memory, disk space, network bandwidth, and so on) between users and the application programs they run.
Determining Your OLPC XO Operating System Version Number
- The easiest way to do this is to type the CTRL, ALT and "Group" (Three dots) keys simultaneously from your Journal. You'll get output looking like this:
- Code: Select all
OLPC build 653[/B] (stream ship.2; variant devel_jffs2)
Kernel 2.6.22-20071121.7.olpc.af3dd731d18bc39 on an i586
xo-0D-39-78 Login:
Here we see the OLPC operating system is using build 653.
- To return to your OLPC GUI, type the CTRL, ALT and "Home View" (One dot) keys simultaneously.
Upgrading Your OLPC XO Operating System
Here's how you can upgrade to the latest MAJOR Version
- First time OLPC XO updates can be done using the activated upgrade procedure
- Listings of the latest versions of operating systems can be found on the wiki.
- If you know your system is activated, and you have already done a manual upgrade, you can try the olpc-update command. In this case we are attempting to upgrade to version 653 in the terminal activity.
- Code: Select all
$ su -
# olpc-update 653
Note: Major upgrades can remove new custom activities you have previously installed using tar or yum.
The OLPC XO Firmware
Most computer systems come with a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. On PCs, the BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and a number of miscellaneous functions. In summary it helps to tailor a specific computer to the operating system. It configures devices to meet the basic needs of the operating system and then starts booting the operating system.
The function of the BIOS is so vital that the information on the BIOS is often stored on a chip separate from the hard drive to protect it from potential crashes. In the OLPC, the BIOS code can be modified to fix known bugs by upgrading the firmware programs that reside in it.
Determining Your OLPC XO firmware Version
Your firmware version can be determined using the olpc-bios-sig command as the root super user.
From the terminal activity, become the root super user by typing the su command. Then run the olpc-bios-sig command.
- Code: Select all
[olpc@xo-0D-39-78 ~]$ su -
-bash-3.2# olpc-bios-sig
Here we see the version is CL1 Q2D07 Q2D
Upgrading Your OLPC XO firmware
Instructions on how to upgrade your BIOS firmware can be found on the wiki firmware page.
Installing Activities
OLPC XO activities can be downloaded from a number of places on the Internet, but the easiest place to search is on the OLPC Wiki using the Browse activity.
- On the Wiki, web pages describing the activity usually have a link to a file with a name ending in ".xo". Here is the description page for the Read activity.
- Clicking on the link usually sends you to another page from which you can download the activity with a link to the true ".xo" file, usually at the very top. Here is the download page for the Read activity.
- Clicking on the ".xo" file will start the download process to your OLPC XO. When it is completed an "OK" and/or "Open" button will appear near the top of your browser screen.
- Click on OK and then return to your Journal activity.
- The ".xo" file should be at the very top of the Journal. Click on the file and then choose "Resume".
- The activity should now be installed and available in your activity bar.
The Linux Home Networking website has a good page on installing Linux software. Here is a summary.
Using RPM Packages
Some Linux software is available in RPM package files. If you know the URL for the RPM file then you can use the rpm command to install it from the terminal activity. Here is an example.
- Code: Select all
$ su -
# rpm -vi http://server.download.com/unix/application-filename.rpm
Using Yum
The yum program will probe a list of predefined servers for RPM files. Unlike rpm, you don't need to know the software version or filename to install as yum figures that out for you. You just need the name of the application. In this example we're installing an application named "mc".
- Code: Select all
$ su -
# yum -y install mc
Updating your Activities and Applications
You can update your applications and activities using the yum command. It will also upgrade those sub sections of your operating system that have changed since your last major upgrade. This is also known as a MINOR operating system version upgrade. Yum requires an Internet connection, so make sure you are connected.
Here is how you run yum from the terminal activity.
- Code: Select all
[olpc@xo-0D-39-78 ~]$ su -
-bash-3.2# yum -y update

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
It was starting to end, after what seemed most of eternity to me.
The room grew steady.
Where the hell was I?
Then the fogs were slowly broken, and some of that which is called memory returned to me. I recalled nights and nurses and needles. Every time things would begin to clear a bit, someone would come in and jab me with something. That's how it had been. Yes. Now, though, I was feeling halfway decent. They'd have to stop.
Wouldn't they?
The thought came to assail me: Maybe not.
Some natural skepticism as to the purity of all human motives came and sat upon my chest. I'd been over-narcotized, I suddenly knew. No real reason for it, from the way I felt, and no reason for them to stop now, if they'd been paid to keep it up. So play it cool and stay dopey, said a voice which was my worst, if wiser, self.
So I did.
A nurse poked her head in the door about ten minutes later, and I was, of course, still sacking Z's. She went away.
By then, I'd reconstructed a bit of what had occurred.
However, my legs felt pretty good. Good enough to hold me up, though I didn't know how much time had lapsed since their breaking-and I knew they'd been broken.
So I sat up.It took me a real effort, as my muscles were very tired. It was dark outside and a handful of stars were standing naked beyond the window. I winked back at them and threw my legs over the edge of the bed.
Okay. My legs held me.
So, theoretically, I was in good enough shape to walk out.
In the State of Denmark there was the odor of decay. . . .
It had been an accident involving an auto, I recalled. One helluva one. . . .
Then the door opened, letting in light, and through slits beneath my eyelashes I saw a nurse with a hypo in her hand.
She approached my bedside, a hippy broad with dark hair and big arms.
just as she neared, I sat up.
"Good evening," I said.
"Why-good evening," she replied.
"When do I check out?" I asked.
"I'll have to ask Doctor."
"Do so," I said.
"Please roll up your sleeve."
"No thanks."
"I have to give you an injection."
"No you don't. I don't need it."
"I'm afraid that's for Doctor to say."
"Then send him around and let him say it. But in the meantime, I will not permit it."
"I'm afraid I have my orders."
"So did Eichmann, and look what happened to him," and I shook my head slowly.
"Very well," she said. "I'll have to report this.
"Please do," I said, "and while you're at it, tell him I've decided to check out in the morning."
"That's impossible. You can't even walk-and there were internal injuries. . ."
"We'll see," said I. "Good night."
She swished out of sight withoutanswering.
So I lay there and mulled. It seemed I was in some sort of private place - so somebody was footing the bill. Whom did I know? No visions of relatives appeared behind my eyes. Friends either. What did that leave? Enemies?
Nobody to benefact me thus.
I'd gone over a cliff in my car, and into a lake, I suddenly remembered. And that was all I remembered.
But to occupy myself, I sat up and stripped away all my bandages. I seemed all right underneath them, and it seemed the right thing to do. I broke the cast on my right leg, using a metal strut I'd removed from the head of the bed. I had a sudden feeling that I had to get out in a hurry, that there was something I had to do.
No clothes there.
Then I heard the footsteps. I returned to my bed and covered over the broken casts and the discarded bandages.
The door swung inward once again.
Then there was light all around me, and there was a beefy guy in a white jacket standing with his hand on the wall switch.
"What's this I hear about you giving the nurse a hard time?" he asked, and there was no more feigning sleep,
"I don't know," I said. "What is it?"
That troubled him for a second or two, said the frown, then, "It's time for your shot."
"Are you an M.D.?" I asked.
"No, but I'm authorized to give you a shot."
"And I refuse it," I said, "as I've a legal right to do. What's it to you?"
"You'll have your shot," he said, and he moved around to the left side of the bed. He had a hypo in onehand, which had been out of sight till then.
It was a very foul blow, about four inches below the belt buckle, I'd say, and it left him on his knees.
"_____ _____!" he said, after a time.
"Come within spitting distance again," I said, "and see what happens."
"We've got ways to deal with patients like you," he gasped.
So I knew the time had come to act.
"Where are my clothes?" I said. "_____ _____!"he repeated.
"Then I guess I'll have to take yours. Give them to me."
"Sparkling, witty, delightful: Zelaznys best for ages, perhaps his best ever." —Kirkus Reviews
"Fantasy of a superior order."—Washington Post Book World
"A storyteller without peer. He created worlds as colorful and exotic and memorable as any our genre has ever seen."—George R.R. Martin
One of the most revered names in sf and fantasy, the incomparable Roger Zelazny was honored with numerous prizes—including six Hugo and three Nebula Awards—over the course of his legendary career. Among his more than fifty books, arguably Zelaznys most popular literary creations were his extraordinary Amber novels. The Great Book of Amber is a collection of the complete Amber chronicles—featuring volumes one through ten—a treasure trove of the ingenious imagination and phenomenal storytelling that inspired a generation of fantasists, from Neil Gaiman to George R.R. Martin.
Loyally accompanying a mysterious knife-wielding gentleman named Jack on his midnight rounds through the murky streets of London, good dog Snuff is busy helping his master collect the grisly ingredients needed for an unearthly rite that will take place not long after the death of the moon. But Snuff and his master are not alone. All manner of participants, both human and not, are gathering with their ancient tools and their animal familiars in preparation for the dread night. It is brave, devoted Snuff who must calculate the patterns of the Game and keep track of the Players—the witch, the mad monk, the vengeful vicar, the Count who sleeps by day, the Good Doctor and the hulking Experiment Man he fashioned from human body parts, and a wild-card American named Larry Talbot—all the while keeping Things at bay and staying a leap ahead of the Great Detective, who knows quite a bit more than he lets on.
Boldly original and wildly entertaining, A Night in the Lonesome October is a darkly sparkling gem, an amalgam of horror, humor, mystery, and fantasy. First published in 1993, it was Zelaznys last book prior to his untimely death. Many consider it the best of the fantasy masters novels. It has inspired many fans to read it every year in October, a chapter a day, and served as inspiration for Neil Gaimans brilliant story "Only the End of the World Again."

How To Become An Aircraft Mechanic in New Hampshire
In order to qualify for Aircraft Machanics jobs in New Hampshire, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your aircraft manufacturing courses online. Check with each engineering school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Aircraft Machanics careers in New Hampshire, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? To earn a competitive salary, compare accredited engineering concentrations, and research technical certificate programs in your chosen field. Check with the aircraft manufacturing department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Aircraft mechanics diagnose mechanical or electrical problems, while avionics equipment mechanics and technicians repair and perform scheduled maintenance on aircraft. Many mechanics are generalists and work on many different types of aircraft, such as jets, piston-driven airplanes, and helicopters. Others specialize in one section, such as the engine, hydraulic system, or electrical system. Airframe and Powerplant (A and P) mechanics are certified generalist mechanics who can independently perform many maintenance and alteration tasks on aircraft. A and P mechanics repair and maintain most parts of an aircraft, including the engines, landing gear, brakes, and air-conditioning system.
Maintenance schedules for aircraft may be based on hours flown, days since the last inspection, trips flown, or a combination of these factors. Maintenance also may need to be done at other times to address specific issues recognized by mechanics or manufacturers. Mechanics use precision instruments to measure wear and identify defects. They may use x-rays or magnetic or ultrasonic inspection equipment to discover cracks that cannot be seen on a plane's exterior. They check for corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the aircraft's main body, wings, and tail. They then repair the metal, fabric, wood, or composite materials that make up the airframe and skin. Beyond major requirements within the aircraft manufacturing department, you may consider Grand Rapids Community College industrial design major degree requirements as a complementary elective.

Cedar City, Utah...
This is no. 2 of two pairs of trousers I made from Burda #127 for a Trouser Sewalong I've been hosting via my blog. For more on pair no. 1, look here.
This particular pair was made up in a wool garbardine are also lined in bemberg rayon lining. These have such fantastic drape and truly, I love the wool gabardine and will begin to use it more often in pant making. They have the traditional slant pockets and an invisible side zipper. They have a single pleat in the front, darts in the back and the waistband has been treated with a double bias band to offset the matching of the pinstripes. These too are cuffed.
Visit my blog for more on the Trouser Sewalong which features postings on things to be aware of and look for when fitting a pair of pants, the various problems many of us ran into using this particular pattern (which is a pattern for Talls) and how to stitch up a beautiful pair of lasting trousers. Here is a link to all of the sewalong posts.
Happy trouser sewing!

Amazon is once again offering a substantial discount for the recently-released Playstation 3 exclusive role-playing video game, "Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch."
Great game, highly recommended. I think it took me about 60 hours to beat it completely, so 40$ is a great entry price.
One of the best RPGs I've ever played. It was very charming, the graphics are gorgeous, the story is simple yet very well done, and there is enough content to hold you over a while.
Yup, if you haven't already then buy this game. I personally think the combat could of been better (AI is awful) but it's certainly no deal breaker. Get it, especially if you like Ghibli films.
Too kiddish for me...I mean the monsters look like crap and not even remotely intimidating. I'll see about picking it up when it hits the 20 dollar mark.

First there was the World's Best Green Bean Casserole, a huge hit on A Veggie Venture, my food blog about vegetables. Now? Let's call this recipe adaptation the World's Most "Convenient" Green Bean Casserole. That's because the recipe calls for many of the same ingredients and techniques as the original recipe, including fresh green beans and fresh mushrooms. But this recipe? You make it ahead of time and then freeze it for serving later! See what I mean? Convenient!
"... it was AMAZING! I crave it all the time!!!" ~ Beebs
People don't call me the "green bean casserole lady" for nothing. You see, two years ago the World's Best Green Bean Casserole for A Veggie Venture's first collection of Thanksgiving vegetable recipes created some stir on so-so many Thanksgiving tables. Made with fresh green beans and fresh mushrooms bathed in a thyme-scented, sherry-sweetened cream sauce, it was comfort-food extraordinaire, just fresher.
So why, then, am I here again with << another recipe >> for green bean casserole?
With fresh beans and fresh mushrooms, this new recipe is a lot like the World's Best Green Bean Casserole. (And both, happily, are << unlike >> the original green bean casserole's canned green beans and canned mushroom soup.)
So let's call this new recipe the "World's Most Convenient Green Bean Casserole". That's because, in this new recipe:
The beans are snapped and put into the casserole raw, yes raw, the "uncooked" raw! They cook just fine, really.
The casserole gets frozen, yes, frozen solid and is baked straight from the freezer! It needn't be thawed, really.
Don't get me wrong. On the basis of taste alone, the World's Best Green Bean Casserole keeps its lofty title and is my first recommendation. There's just something magnificent about the bean-cooking technique that draws out every burst of bean flavor.
But for convenience, well, this Make-Ahead Fresh Green Bean Casserole wins, hands-down. Because it can be made far in advance, it's especially good for extra-large gatherings. At the same time, because it can be split up into multiple dishes for freezing, it's also especially good for small gatherings.
So call me the Green Bean Casserole Lady. I'll just smile knowingly and think to myself, "Yes, a good green bean casserole recipe. It really can light my light."
BECAUSE THE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE LADY NEEDS CHOICES! Over the years, I've collected even more green bean casserole resources and recipes. Not ONE recipe calls for canned mushroom soup!
World's Best Green Bean Casserole The very first life-changing, Thanksgiving-uplifting recipe!
For Green Bean Casserole, Just Say NO! to Canned Green Beans & Mushroom Soup Step-by-step photo instructions for the World's Best Green Bean Casserole.
Pioneer Woman's Green Bean Casserole Bacon! Need I say more?!
Freezing time: overnight - two months
Baking time: 90 minutes
Serves 16 in smallish servings for a big dinner
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, caps broken into pieces, stems roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (don't skimp on these)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1-1/2 cups chicken stock or boullion
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1-1/2 cups cream
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- Additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, stems trimmed, broken into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup panko
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups (about 3 ounces) canned fried onions, chopped
SAUCE In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are cooked and the mushroom liquid has evaporated. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for about a minute. Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour all across the top and stir it in as best you can. A tablespoon at a time, stir in the chicken stock, letting each tablespoon become absorbed before adding another. (This will take several minutes, be patient or you'll risk a lumpy mess.) Stir in the wine and cream. Bring to a boil. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sherry. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper, if needed. (It should be slightly salty and slightly peppery since the beans themselves are unseasoned.)
BEANS While the sauce cooks, toss the beans and cornstarch well. Transfer to a 9x13 ceramic baking dish. Pour hot mushroom sauce over top. Gently press beans into the sauce so that all the beans are submerged. Cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure there's no air between the beans and the plastic. Wrap with foil. Freeze. Do not thaw before baking.
TOPPING No more than a day before, mix the panko, butter, salt and pepper in a skillet. On medium heat, let the crumbs brown, stirring often, being careful not to burn. Stir in the fried onions.
BAKING Heat oven to 400F/200C.
First bake for 30 minutes with the foil on. IMPORTANT! Before baking, be sure to remove the plastic wrap first!
Then remove the foil, bake for another 50 minutes. (If the sauce is too thin, leave the casserole in the oven, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until it thickens.)
Finally, spread topping over the casserole and bake for another 10 minutes until golden.

Best, Nancy
Glad you like the recipes for Kitchen Parade, I much appreciate your subscribing!
Thanks! Great website!
Yes, bread crumbs from a French loaf will work fine, but I'd recommend letting them dry first, either by leaving out (cubed) for the next couple of days or tucking (cubed) into the oven for a few minutes.
As for whether or not to freezer, yes, I think that would be fine but I haven't tested it that way so can't say for sure. At minimum, the timing will be affected. But it's also possible that the freezing changes the chemical structure of the beans, breaking down the fiber, and that the 'cooking' process actually starts in the freezer. How's that for the long way of saying, I really don't know? Hope it helps, however!
Let's hope these leftovers can be saved!

1. Monitor udder health regularly
2. Milking order
3. Foremilk cows
4. Clean teats and teat ends
- Review regularly all udder health and milk quality information provided by the dairy plant, official testing organizations, veterinary clinics and on farm testing using the DeLaval cell counter (DCC) or the California Mastitis Test (CMT).
- Develop benchmarks for each cow and herd to assist in monitoring changes that may occur.
- Regardless of housing system or herd size, milk first calf heifers, fresh cows next and then the main herd.
- Milk sick cows last and then wash and sanitize the milking system.
- Remove 2-3 squirts of foremilk and examine it. In tie stall and parlour facilities use a strip cup. Wash off the parlor floor before the next group of cows enters.
- Foremilking provides a powerful signal to initiate milk let-down and it provides an opportunity to detect and prevent abnormal milk from entering the tank.
- Mastitis control and producing high quality milk requires that cows have clean, dry teats when units are attached. Clean each teat and teat end using approved materials. Wipe each teat dry using single service paper or cloth towels, one per cow. If cloth towels are used be certain to effectively launder and dry them before reusing.
Never start the milking procedure with cleaning of teats! The result is that germs growing in the teat canal can be moved further up into the udder. Always start with foremilking
5. Check Milking System
6. Attach milking cluster at appropriate time
7. Avoid over milking
8. Ensure proper removal of cluster
- Select a vacuum level and pulsation system appropriate for the dairy farm and have it installed according to DeLaval specifications.
- Always check the vacuum level at the start of each milking.
-Within 60-90 seconds of all teat preparation procedures, milking units need to be attached.
- Minimize air entries during cluster attachment.
- Adjust milking cluster so that it is properly balanced front to back, side to side with no twisting.
- Overmilking is considered a primary cause of teat end hyperkeratosis. When the udder has been emptied satisfactorily, the milking unit needs to be removed. This can be detected by manual observation or, for systems with ACR's, allowing flow sensors to detect low flow and direct the automatic removal of the cluster. Flow controlled milking systems provide a visual indication when low flow has been attained.
- When milking is completed vacuum to the cluster can be shut-off manually or automatically. Allow claw vacuum to decline completely before removing the unit. DO NOT squeeze the udder and pull down on milking units as this may lead to air entry around the liner mouthpiece, this has been implicated in new cases of mastitis.
9. Sanitize teats after each milking
10. Clean milking equipment immediately after milking
11. Properly cool milk
12. Monitor milk quality milking equipment, and milking performance data regularly
- As soon as possible after the unit is removed sanitize each teat with an approved post milking teat dip or spray. This is the single most effective procedure to prevent the cow to cow spread of contagious mastitis organisms.
- Clean off the external surfaces of the milking system.
- After each use, either manually or automatically rinse and clean all system components using appropriate products at the proper temperature. Allow the system to drain dry.
- Where required, sanitize the system prior to the next milking using approved sanitizers at the proper dilution.
- Check cooling temperatures to be certain the proper temperatures are being reached during and after each milking.
- Proper refrigeration temperatures greatly slow or stop the growth of most bacteria.
- Review all milk quality, milk composition, and milking center performance information regularly and compare it to historical data.
- Replace liners and rubber goods according to recommendations. Old rubber goods become cracked and porous and this influences milking performance and increases the risk of soil and bacterial build-ups. Such problems may lead to increased milking times and higher bacteria counts.
- Have the total milking system serviced regularly according to the DeLaval's recommendations.

Former Jefferson Middle School girls basketball coach Barry Haile's new team came up short Thursday as the Lady Eagles defeated Grace Christian 35-27 on the night JMS dedicated the court to Haile.
Former Jefferson Middle School girls basketball coach Barry Haile's new team came up short Thursday as the Lady Eagles defeated Grace Christian 35-27 on the night JMS dedicated the court to Haile.
Haile won more than 600 games while at JMS but retired two years ago and is now coaching the Lady Rams of GCS.
The JMS administration held a short ceremony to honor Haile for his service.
Jefferson (14-6) found themselves behind 16-11 at halftime but rallied closing the gap to three before the start of the fourth quarter and outscoring Grace Christian 16-6 the rest of the way.
Leah Scudder again led JMS with 10 points and three steals. Kelsey Benjamin had nine points while Amara Howard and Kayla Summers had six points each.
Grace Christian 35, Jefferson boys 42
The Eagles fell to 13-7 to a very good Grace Christian team.
The Eagles were led by Anthony Gibson with 13 points. Caleb Martin added 10, Deandre Gibson scored six and Joey Kocak had four.
"We were battling for most of the night, we just had a hard time scoring late in the game," coach Jason Nussbaum said. "We are still playing really well and have three very important games next week to finish our regular season."
The Eagles face Horace Maynard on Monday before finishing the regular season with Clinton and rival Robertsville.
Robertsville girls 39, Clinton 18
The Robertsville Lady Rams honored five Lady Ram eighth graders with a win as well.
Using an all-eighth-grade starting lineup of Courtney Ellison, Olivia Daniels, Kyrah Sanders, Makayla Johnson and Karissa Wallen, the Lady Rams jumped out to a quick 11-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and never trailed against the Lady Hawks.
Robertsville (16-5, 7-1) held Clinton to just two points in the second and third quarters while increasing their lead to 33-8 before the start of the fourth.
Johnson scored a career high 11 points to lead RMS on her eighth grade night.
"Makayla played outstanding tonight," Lady Rams coach Scot Hinton said. "She scored three quick baskets in the first quarter to get us going, and she played with great energy all night."
Mykia Dowdell joined Johnson in double figures with 10 while Destiny Kassner scored eight. Daniels had five points, Ellison three and Dean finished with two.
The Lady Rams also went undefeated at home this season.
The two in-city rivals will take to the court for the final time in the regular season on Saturday at Oak Ridge High School's Wildcat Arena for the second game of the city championship.
Tip-off for the girls game is at 6 p.m. Saturday while the boys will play the nightcap at 7 p.m.
Robertsville won both games on Jan. 7.
Robertsville boys 54, Clinton 28
The Rams made sure to put an exclamation point on eighth grade night as they had three players in double figures to complete a perfect home record.
Taijon Jones again led RMS with 19 points, Tee Higgins poured in 17 and Markell Rowe had 11 as Robertsville (18-0, 8-0 in Area 2) won every quarter against the Hawks.
Higgins added in seven rebounds and four steals while Demarea Whit had 10 assists. Row also added six boards and played smart defense drawing a pair of charges.
"We really like that we won every quarter, took two charges and shot 71 percent from the free-throw line," coach Spratling said. "That's some really good stuff."

http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/#/?part=tunnel-creekan interesting article and an interesting presentation of information.takes a while to get through, though.
I read this, great story... it was also about the crowd mentality.
It is more dangerous after a snow storm than in the snow storm.
In sunny day, the snow pack is heavier in the afternoon than in the morning even if there is no rain. It can be as much as 1.5 more heavier in the afternoon without rain...and it is not because I was tired.
There is no course or technique to evaluate that because it can occur in two or three hours... Only experience can told you.
In the story, the woman wore a safety device. It seems it save her life.
You are correct.

By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JAKE PEARSON
Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Two German artists have claimed responsibility for replacing American flags on the Brooklyn Bridge with faded white versions last month in a bizarre urban mystery that exposed holes in security at one of the city's most enduring landmarks.
Berlin-based Mischa Leinkauf and Mattias Wermke said Tuesday that they hoisted the hand-sewn white flags onto the 131-year-old bridge's neo-gothic stone towers as a celebration of public art in "the global center of creativity." They said they switched the flags early on July 22 to commemorate the 145th anniversary of German-born Brooklyn Bridge architect John August Roebling's death.
In a statement, the artists said they "were careful to treat the bridge and the flags with respect," but they didn't address potential criminal liability from the project. They said they followed U.S. Flag Code in their handling of the American flags they removed and were returning them.
The New York Police Department said it was aware of the artists' claims but wouldn't confirm their validity or say whether investigators had identified the artists as suspects before they came forward.
Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis said the investigation is continuing. Detectives, he said, are trying to determine if more than two people were involved in the complex flag-switch operation.
If the artists have the flags, he said, "we certainly would love to have them back."
Leinkauf and Wermke have scaled buildings, bridges and statues in a series of projects blurring the line of access to public works and spaces. In 2007, according to their website, they tied balloons to cables high above the Brooklyn Bridge roadway.
The day the flags went up, the police department's counterterrorism and intelligence chief said he believed four or five people scaled to the top of the bridge's towers and swapped the flags in the dead of night.
Deputy Commissioner John Miller said the people involved appeared to use aluminum cooking sheets to cover the lamps illuminating the American flags that usually fly there before hoisting their bleached white replacements.
Video footage of the security breach shows the people walking on the bridge's footpath at about 3:10 a.m., and the light on the bridge's Brooklyn tower flickers and goes dark about 20 minutes later, Miller said. The same thing happens about 12 minutes later on the Manhattan tower, he said.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has called the security breach "a wake-up call."
The NYPD has officers stationed overseas, but Davis did not say whether there are any in Berlin. He said a potential arrest involving suspects from Germany would be done through Interpol, the international police organization.
The German artists, who first made their claim of responsibility to The New York Times, said they were flooded with media inquiries and wouldn't be able to immediately respond to an interview request.

Tip For 2009: The New Roland V-Piano.
Roland proudly announces the next chapter in the V legacy … the V-Piano. Throw away all preconceived notions of what a digital piano was and is. This instrument changes everything.
The new Roland V-Piano: a revolutionary digital piano
The V-Piano has already been chosen one of the "Best in Show" products at NAMM 2009. One panelist said: "This is an unbelievable sound. The first time I heard it, I said it's like sticking your head inside a Steinway D. If you thought the V-Drums revolutionized electronic drums or the V-Guitar [revolutionized guitars], this is beyond."
Breaking Barriers
The V-Piano soars above the limitations of past technologies with its revolutionary "living" piano core, allowing every note to respond and evolve naturally, seamlessly, and perfectly without requiring samples. With the V-Piano, there is no velocity switching, and it provides a smooth, natural decay that must be heard to be believed.
Create Your Dream Collection
With the V-Piano you can choose from beautifully crafted vintage grand-piano presets or you can create your own custom dream collection. Vary the hardness of the virtual hammer felts. Experiment with exotic string configurations and tunings. Put a world-famous grand under your fingertips or play a futuristic piano that has never been heard before.
New PHA-III Ivory Feel keyboard
Even the most demanding pianist will appreciate the V-Piano's new PHA-III Ivory Feel keyboard with Escapement This advanced keyboard technology reproduces the real feel of ivory for the natural keys and ebony for the sharps, and provides a true grand-piano touch and response. Even the subtle click feel when the "hammer" is released from the key (escapement) is reproduced.
Friendly Complexity
High technology doesn't have to equate to high complexity for the pianist. With its clean control panel and logically designed user interface, the V-Piano is amazingly fast and friendly to navigate. Even deep-level editing is easy to access and understand. You'll be customizing and creating new sounds within minutes of first touching the instrument.

Ruschmeyer's: Montauk's Newest Camp-Inspired Lodging
Oftentimes, the travel emails that flood my inbox are automatically deleted — no sense in tempting myself when I can't spare time off. But slap a photo of an intriguing interior in said email, and well, I can't help but take a peek. So was the case with Ruschmeyer's of Montauk, New York.
I'm always on the lookout for a good vacation spot — doesn't hurt when that good vacation spot boasts a "nautical camp" yet modern design close to the beach. One glimpse of the simple, fresh decor with a pop of color here and there and it instantly reminded me of another Montauk lodge I've wanted to check out. Turns out, Ruschmeyer's is brought to us by the same duo that gave us The Surf Lodge. Although this time around, the vibe is more summer camp over surf camp.
The owners were inspired by the property's original function back when it was first built in the 1950s — you guessed it — a summer camp. Given that, it's no surprise you'll find nineteen cabins instead of one main building. Also on the grounds are hammocks, picnic tables, bicycles, a fire pit and even a teepee. There's a restaurant and bar as well, and judging by the photos, a pretty cool disco too.
Ruschmeyer's was said to have opened Memorial Day weekend. If you happened to have spent the holiday there, let us know if it's worth the trip!

Should Yasiel Puig Be an All-Star?
Before Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was lighting it up in the Big Leagues, he was trying to escape Cuba for the United States. In fact, every year since 2000, at least 200 Cubans have died trying to defect their home country for America. Puig is now a hero for his country, and fans in the United States have fell in love with his talent, and love for baseball.
For Puig, he has an incredible story, and he has made the Dodgers look good for signing and believing in him.
Puig wears #66, is 6'3", and 245 pounds, and could become an All-Star after about a month since getting called-up on June 3. But that's the question, should the young Cuban phenom play in the MLB All-Star game with such little experience in the Majors?
From a statistical standpoint, Puig's stats don't lie.
In 32 games played, Puig is batting .409/.436/.667 with eight home runs, eight doubles, 19 RBIs, 25 runs, and 55hits. Puig also has recorded 16 multi-hit games in 33 career games played.
Puig even is making his name known among baseball all-time greatest players.
Puig became the third player in MLB history to have 50 hits in his first 30 MLB games. The only two others to do so: Joe Dimaggio, and Roy Weatherly in 1936.
Puig also batted .436 in June, which is the highest average of any MLB player in the month of their MLB debut. The second highest was Dimaggio, when Smokin' Joe had 48 in May of 1936. In June, Puig had 44 hits, seven home runs, and 16 RBIs. Those are stupid good numbers.
Puig picked up two awards his first month in the Majors, National League Player and Rookie of the Month for June to add to his resume.
That being said, Puig has very good stats, and is in good company. So, why not make the rookie sensation an All-Star?
On Saturday, All-Star line-ups were announced and Puig didn't make the team. Puig could join the National League All-Stars by the final vote. Puig will go head-to-head with teammate Adrian Gonzalez, Washington Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond, San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence, and Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman for the final National League spot.
Statistically, there shouldn't be an argument for putting Puig on the All-Star team. Yet, Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon disagreed. Papelbon said
it would be an "absolute joke," "stupid," and an "injustice," for players that have been in the game for eight, nine or ten years.
Yes, it would hurt for veterans to be left out, but if a player is an "All-Star," shouldn't they be picked as an All-Star based off statistics and not by popularity?
Last year, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper made the team last year as an injury replacement as a teenager. Harper was hitting .282/.347/.475 with eight home runs, and 22 RBIs at the time of the All-Star break.
Puig's statistics are arguably better than Harper's were.
There can be arguments made from both sides of the spectrum, but in the landscape of the baseball, superstars are getting older, and players like Harper, Mike Trout, and Puig are catching the attention of baseball fans all across the country.
At the end of the day, it will come down to the fans for the last spot on the National League team, so whether you agree or disagree, you can decide if Puig is an All-Star.

Chess whiz begins a new chapter on the international stage as a student of legendary Grandmaster Garry Kasparov.
When 14-year-old Kayden Troff finishes a grueling chess tournament—requiring several hours of laser-sharp focus—he does something surprising: He plays more chess.
"I crave it," says the West Jordan teen, who at 13 became the top-ranked chess player in the United States for his age. He speaks with a quiet intensity about his love for the game, which he'll often play online until 2 a.m. "I unwind by playing more chess. It's so complex and changing all the time. You'll almost never see the same game twice."
Kayden's passion for the game was ignited as a toddler sitting on his father's lap, observing as his two older brothers learned the intricacies of the game. Kayden was 3 years old when he began moving the pieces around correctly and even attacking. In the years that followed, Kayden has achieved undeniable stature on the international chess scene and is considered one of the brightest stars since Bobby Fischer. At 11, he earned the rank of National Master, a lifelong title Fischer didn't achieve until he was 13. He is one of two National Masters living in Utah and one of about 1,500 in the country. Kayden has earned the rank of World Chess Federation Master, and in 2010, won a silver medal in the under-12 division at the World Youth Chess Championship in Greece.
Despite his obvious aptitude, Kayden's family keeps him grounded. "My parents have always encouraged balance," he says. The whole family pitches in to run a summer chess camp, with Kayden teaching strategy to other youngsters.
Kayden, along with a dozen other chess prodigies, recently joined Young Stars—Team USA, a program run by former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov, considered by many chess aficionados to be the best player ever.
Fresh off earning his third and final International Master Norm in August, Kayden eventually hopes to nab a prestigious grandmaster and world chess champion title. But for now, it's the love of the game that keeps him motivated. "When I think about chess, it's just excitement," he says. "It's a calm and slow-moving game, but it's truthfully so exciting when you play that good game and you play that good move. That excites me even more."
Double header: "The longest game I ever played was followed by another one of my longest games," remembers Kayden, who played a 7-hour game in Reno in 2010 followed by a game that lasted more than 5 hours.
Regular Joe: "Most of the time if I'm not playing chess, I'm just doing regular things: video games, basketball, watching TV, riding my bike."
Number of hours per week he plays chess: 30-plus hours
Number of chess games played: 10,000-plus in person and online
Words of Wisdom
"If you don't absolutely enjoy [your hobby] then you won't be able to put in the work. If it becomes all work and no play, you need to find another passion."
UPDATE: Kayden Troff won gold at the 2012 World Youth Chess Championship. Click here for the story.

ROSALabs has released 'Desktop Fresh', the latest version of its Linux desktop environment. Mandriva collaborated with ROSALabs in early 2012, but this desktop isn't Mandriva-specific. The new version boasts improved boot time, a social media app called TimeFrame, and an original launcher app called SimpleWelcome, all somewhat modified to accommodate tablet/phone interfaces.
