What's the difference between a Long Term Support Release and a Normal Release?
I've been running 10.04 for a while now. I use it for development purposes and recreation, and I love it. My friend recently had to reformat his computer because he got a virus. Naturally, he is looking to try out Ubuntu (instead of his Windows 7).My friend would only use this for recreation/writing papers/etc., and he is not that tech savy.
I am torn because I know 10.04 would be more stable for him, but the 11.04 desktop looks interesting.
From your experience, are new features in 11.04 worth the instability? For you users of 11.04, how stable is it? Does it have noticeable problems?
I know it's a matter of preference, so I'm searching for opinions.
Should I recommend 10.04 or 11.04?
Thanks for your responses!

I'm a programmer and my work requires intense mental focus.
My goal is to get 8 clean, productive hours of programming per day.
I tried this yesterday, and I managed to get only 2:35 hours of clean focus.
As stimulants, I used:
a) coffee (2 cups)
b) aerobic exercise (30 minutes)
I don't want to abuse coffee; because the effects I get after 2 cups of coffee are the opposite of what I want (dumbness / jitters / inability to sleep).
Aerobic is really good; but the good after effects tend to last for a short time. I exercise for 30 minutes, feel a great focus for about 45 minutes to 1hour~ after it, and then I have to eat which again brings me 'down' to a lethargic state of mind.
My personal guess is that diet is the source of all my concentration problems. I was thinking of buying alots of fresh fruits and then combining them with a bit of coffee to break that 8 hour barrier.
My question is: how do you get yourself to focus? Are there any other stimulants beside coffee/exercise that are great, and I'm missing them?
I personally can't focus unless I get an external stimulant. My diet consists of mostly processed foods / coffee / aerobic exercise. And this worries me.

Call of Juarez (DX10)
Version and / or Patch Used: DX10 Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.techland.pl/en/
Product Homepage: http://www.coj-game.com
Call of Juarez is a Western-themed FPS from Techland. The North America release was one of the first games to utilize DX10.
Call of Juarez is loosely based on a number of Western movie hits from the last four decades, particularly the Spaghetti Westerns that became popular in the sixties and early seventies. The game features two different characters: Billy "Candle", a young fugitive accused of murder and the Reverend Ray, an ex-outlaw who turned to religion, believing that God Himself has chosen Ray to be the instrument of His wrath.
COJ actually takes some major hits with the latest drivers, especially in the minimum FPS department.

Yeah 12.10 is troublesome with that card, I should know as I have one.
But if it is working I would not worry about it, the only thing that sucks is no HD audio but I can live without.

Unfortunately you cannot downgrade. You will have to do a fresh install of 12.04 from a burned DVD or through a USB, or perhaps a DVD/CD you can get from the internet or magazines. Personally, if I were you, I would make the switch to 12.04, but that is just me. (:
So I am currently going through the 12.04 install menu and I am at the Installation part. I selected 'Other' and it brought me to a page with /dev/sda devices. What do I need to do to install 12.04 over 12.10. These are on the list:
/dev/sda1 fat16 104mb
/dev/sda2 ntfs 15.7gb
/dev/sda3 ntfs 374.0gb
/dev/sda5 ext4 244.1 gb
/dev/ada6 swap 6.2gb
There are checkboxes next to each in a Format column. Also options:
New Partition Table
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just afraid to break something.
*Edit* I also see a drop down at the bottom which lists Windows 7 Loaders and Ubuntu 12.10.

Are you using one HDD to install this one, or have you installed Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows on separate drives each? Or you are looking to erase Windows 7 entirely? If so and if you are using the Graphical installation (which are you using?), please see this installation guide;
In the guide you will see this image (http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/or...1349879961.png) and the middle option that warns the installer that choosing that option will "Erase" everything on the HDD. That's the option you use if you want to install over your current Ubuntu and Windows 7. But that will mean you will lose all your files and information.
The top option is if you want to install alongside the other OS.
It's only one harddrive and i wish to keep Windows 7 as a dual boot. I am just trying to install 12.04 over 12.10. I think i need to just select the 12.10 Boot Loader from the drop down below, but I don't know if i have to format anything?
And it is the graphical installation from a dvd image.
http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html . However it is not necessary at all to read this book, but it'll really help you in understanding the basic working of Ubuntu and how it is different with Windows.
Please read "Install Ubuntu After Windows" or the entire page if you wish to be sure. The link also links to further guides explaining how to partition drives, if needed, and more.
If you see an option to install over the previous Ubuntu, then I'm pretty sure that's the correct one to use. But perhaps another member or staff has a link to such a tutorial, I do not sadly. ):
At that screen you need to click the Ext4 partition (sda5) and press the Edit button at the bottom. Change the mount point to / (a forward slash). Continue installing and that's it!
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
Alright, what should I change the 'use as' option to? With it being set to 'do not use paetition' it wont let me change the mount point. These options are given:
Ext4 journaling file system
Ext5 journaling file system
Ext2 file system
ReiserFS journaling file system
btrfs journaling file system
XFS journaling file system
FAT16 file system
FAT32 file system

Duke Operating on Normal Schedule Friday
Editor's Note: This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
Durham, NC - All staff should report to work as scheduled, and classes will be held as scheduled.
While roads and walkways on campus are in good condition, individuals are encouraged to use caution while traveling on and around campus and allow extra time for travel. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing until mid-morning and icy patches could exist, especially on elevated surfaces.
More information about the policy, including a map of priorities for clearing roads, lots and sidewalks, checklists and answers to frequently asked questions, is available at the DukeALERT emergency website.
The updated forecast from the National Weather Service now projects snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches in the Durham area as part of the winter storm warning between 6 p.m. today to 4 a.m. Friday.
Duke officials have been closely monitoring weather forecasts and conditions and will communicate updates as conditions warrant, but at this time plan to operate on a normal schedule with no changes in classes tonight and tomorrow.
Crews will begin pretreating walkways, entrances and parking lots this afternoon and have plans to begin clearing any accumulation from campus roads, lots and walkways early Friday morning if necessary.
The initial focus tonight will be on clearing parking lots and walkways used for the men's basketball game. The Duke Men's Basketball game scheduled for 9 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium will be held as scheduled. Crews will clear any accumulations during the game using the priority clearing plan for a basketball event. Those attending are encouraged to consult the priority clearing map to determine the best routes and parking lots to use.
Durham County is under a winter storm watch for Thursday evening and night with snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches predicted.
Duke officials are closely monitoring weather conditions and forecasts for the area. Updates will be made as conditions warrant.
Given the chance of severe weather, employees are encouraged to review Duke's severe weather and emergency conditions policy to ensure understanding of roles and responsibilities if the policy is activated.
During times of severe weather, some staff positions require on-site presence to continue operations. To ensure continuous operations of patient care, student support and research functions, managers should assign all jobs to one of three service categories:
- Essential Service: During severe weather or emergency conditions, essential service staff report or remain at work. Transportation service and childcare services may be provided for those required to work during severe weather or emergency conditions.
- Reserve Service: During severe weather or emergency conditions, these staff are assigned a status at the time of the event.
- Delayed Service: During severe weather or emergency conditions, these staff do not report to or remain at work.
More information about the policy, including a map of priorities for clearing roads, lots and sidewalks, checklists and answers to frequently asked questions, is available at the DukeALERT emergency website.

CONCORD, N.C. — The champ is back … in Victory Lane.
Brad Keselowski, the reigning Sprint Cup Series champion who failed to earn the right to defend his title in this year's Chase, earned his first trip to Victory Lane this season, holding off Kasey Kahne to win Saturday night's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
At one time during the race, Keselowski was penalized for driving out of his pit stall with his jack still connected to his car.
He moved into the lead on Lap 322 and engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Kahne over three laps before putting some distance between the pair.
Series points leader Matt Kenseth finished third, Jimmie Johnson was fourth and Kyle Busch was fifth.
With five races left in the Chase, Kenseth holds a four-point lead over Johnson.
The Hendrick Motorsports organization took control early as the four drivers — Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kahne — combined to lead 73 of the first 74 laps.
Mark Martin lost a cylinder early and finally lost the engine on his No. 14 Chevrolet on Lap 82, which brought out the race's second caution.
"Well, we broke a valve spring earlier, and we were trying to nurse it along to maybe a caution where we could possibly work on it a little bit where it wouldn't self-destruct, but we didn't get that," said Martin.
"When you run one with a broken spring a lot of times you wind up failing something else. I hate that for everybody. I hate that we brought out a caution, but we were just trying to do the best we could there."
On the restart on Lap 91, Enumclaw driver Kahne led the way followed by Earnhardt and Johnson. Earnhardt quickly powered to the lead after taking the green flag.
Kahne ran Earnhardt back down and retook the lead on Lap 96.
On Lap 126, teams began a series of green-flag pit stops. Once the cycle of stops was completed on Lap 133, Kahne remained out front followed by Kyle Busch, Earnhardt, Johnson and Gordon.
Debris on the track brought out the third caution of the race on Lap 173. After pit stops, Kahne was the first to come off pit road. On the restart, Johnson beat Kahne to the line and reclaimed the lead.
Another round of green-flag stop began on Lap 224. Once the cycle was completed on Lap 230, Johnson emerged with a comfortable lead over Kahne, followed Kyle Busch, Kenseth and Clint Bowyer.
After 250 laps, Kyle Larson, who was making his debut in the Cup series, was forced to the garage with a blown engine. Larson at times was running as high as 11th while he was in the race.
With less than 15 cars running on the lead lap, teams began yet another round of green-flag pit stops on Lap 273. Once the cycle was completed, Johnson remained with the lead followed by Kyle Busch, Kahne, Kenseth and Ryan Newman.
With 50 laps remaining, 14 cars remained on the lead lap as Johnson kept a furious pace.
On Lap 289, Bowyer's engine dropped a cylinder and he began dropping through the field.

WEIRTON - Years of shopping around for high quality, low cost items is paying off for Joyce Martin and her daughter, Charity Kalata.
The duo recently opened Jacks Resale, 1347 Pennsylvania Ave.
"We've been planning on doing this for years," Martin said. "Everything finally just fell together - she found the building, the price was right, she got to go to part-time at work. The timing was just right for us."

PASSION FOR BARGAINS — Joyce Martin and her daughter, Charity Kalata, have parlayed their passion for bargain hunting into a new business, Jacks Resale in Weirton. Located at 1347 Pennsylvania Ave., the shop features a mix of old and new, offering up antique furniture, glassware, toys, collectibles as well as books, clothing and candles.
-- Linda Harris
The shop carries a little bit of everything - antique furniture and toys, glassware, books, collectibles, decorations, clothing and even candles, handmade by Dorothy Soltesz. A lot of their merchandise is antique, "but there are a lot of new items, too," she said.
"We've always enjoyed going to Goodwill stores, auctions, that type of thing," Martin said. "We'd buy things thinking they'd go in our store some day."
The women had worked at a trucking company in Pottery Addition for years, "but with the economy, how everything fell apart, we just wanted to do something we enjoyed."
"We love bargains," Martin added. "If you walk through our store you'll see everything is low-priced. We only buy (low-priced items). We try to pass on our discounts to the public. The economy has been so bad, we just felt if we get a good deal on something we should pass it on."
Martin makes her home in New Cumberland, Kalata in Weirton.
"We've been open about three months," Martin said. "I don't think a lot of people know about us yet. We still get people stopping in who say they didn't know we were here. But most people who come in and very interested in our items and our prices. We've had a whole bedroom suit for a $100 - we figure if we get a good price on something, we should pass it on."
Jacks Resale does not accept consignments, though it does take donations. The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Sundays.

Your experience begins on a little road at the base of the Wasatch Mountains.
The Peruvian is a traditional European-style ski lodge in Alta that offers charm, all-inclusive dining (yes, your rate includes all three meals) and enough powder to delight even the most discriminating skiing enthusiast.
Once used as nurse's barracks during World War II, the structure was broken down, relocated & melded back together. In 1948, the Peruvian was born.
Over 66 years later, we've been accommodating camp-like traditions while witnessing the cultivation of new friendships year after year.
This is Alta. The people are real, the snow is plentiful and the scenery will take your breath away.
Sure, we're a little different. And that's okay because our guests leave feeling taken care of, well fed and exhilarated from the best powder they've ever experienced.

STEUBENVILLE - Defensive pressure and red-hot free throw shooting made the difference Friday as Catholic Central whipped Madonna 69-44 on Senior Night.
The Blue Dons, playing their second game in as many nights, hung with the Crusaders for the opening 16 minutes and trailed by five (27-22) at the break. Sean Tucker's club turned up the defensive heat in the third stanza and Madonna fell apart, committing 10 turnovers.
Central took advantage of those miscues to run off 15 consecutive points. A three-ball by Matt Martello capped the burst and put the Crusaders ahead 43-24. The hosts outscored Madonna 21-8 during the period to grab a 48-30 lead.

TO THE HOOP — Steubenville Catholic Central's Zach Herrington scores two points during the first quarter of Friday's 69-44 victory over visiting Weirton Madonna.

PUTTING IT UP — Weirton Madonna's Nick Mazur takes a shot during the second quarter of Friday's 69-44 loss at Steubenville Catholic Central.
Central knocked down 11 of 14 free tosses in building the double-digit spread.
When discussing the third quarter turnaround, Tucker credited "great adjustments at halftime."
"We talked to the kids and pointed some things out that we needed to change," he said. "The kids executed those change in the third quarter. They wanted to win and they wanted to play hard."

Madonna's George Vargo noted "they picked up the tempo on defense and we couldn't handle it. We have young guards, a young team and we're going through some growing pains.
"That's what happens when we play a veteran club. Coach Tucker has his team rolling and playing great basketball. Plus, they did an outstanding job at the free throw line tonight."
For the game, played before a standing room only crowd inside the Mickey Barber Gymnasium, Central was 76 percent from the line, knocking down 28 of 37 tries.
"I'm absolutely happy with that performance," Tucker pointed out. "They'll tell you I'm never satisfied and of course I'd like to see them make more shots. We have a deal where we reward them for shooting 75 percent or better. And naturally I'm willing to do that."
Central held a 12-10 lead after one quarter. Madonna was able to stay close thanks to six points from James Carnes. Ryan Fletcher scored six of his own during the second stanza. During the first half, the Blue Dons had nine field goals compared to eight for the Crusaders. Central built the 27-22 lead by going 10 for 12 from the line.
Fletcher started the third with a free throw before Madonna's Josh Martin made it 28-24 with an offensive put back. From there, it was all Central.
Michael Barber got the scoring burst going when he tickled the twine from behind the arc. Fletcher followed with a conventional three-point play. The Crusaders then cashed in six straight free tosses before Martello's triple.
"We knew Madonna was going to run a zone against us and we executed our zone offense well," Tucker said. "We started crashing the boards in the second half and really boxed out well. That made a big difference."
Fletcher paced Central, now 14-4, in scoring with 16. Brenton Colabella added 14, six coming in the final stanza. Martello added 11 and Barber nine. The Crusaders collected 28 rebounds, Zach Herrington getting eight.
Hard-working Will Bowser had eight to lead Madonna, now 5-10. Nate Guio and Tyler Ewusiak each had seven. The Blue Dons had 26 boards, Carnes hauling down seven. For the night, Vargo's club was charged with 21 turnovers.
"They played hard and never gave up," Vargo said of his charges. "I think that was a bright spot. There are still a lot of negatives that we need to fix. They played hard and that's all you can ask from a bunch of young kids."
Madonna will complete a triple-header tonight when it travels to Bishop Donahue.
Central is back at it Monday, traveling to Bridgeport.
Prior to the game, the Crusaders honored their three seniors (Herrington, Michael Carapellotti and Steve Kotur).
"I'm proud of these kids," Tucker said. "I couldn't ask for a better class or a better outing for them to have on senior night.
"Carp is dealing with an illness (the Crusader sharp-shooter was unable to play due to health reasons) and I know it's killing him not to be out there. He has worked his tail off for four years to get better and be in this spot with these guys. I know the guys miss him and played hard for him tonight."
Tucker added Kotur has "worked hard all year to get some playing time. We have a great tradition here of taking care of our seniors and he did a good job in there tonight (Kotur finished with six points).
"Zach is our senior leader and we're going to continue to follow him if he is going to lead us."
At the half, Central honored members of the 1993 squad, which went 18-6 and claimed a city, OVAC and sectional championships. The Crusaders were district runner-ups that season.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – As Anderson University women's tennis enters the final week of its 2014 regular season, the Trojans were unable to head into the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament with a league win, as they fell to Queens 5-1 Sunday afternoon at Freedom Park.
With the loss, AU falls to an even 8-8 on the season and 7-4 in conference play, while the Royals improve to 14-3 overall and 9-2 within the SAC. Carrying their 7-4 record into the postseason this week, the Trojans earned the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament as they will take on fourth-seeded Newberry on Wednesday in Rock Hill, S.C.
After being shutout in the doubles round, freshman Rebecca Bruning nabbed the lone Anderson point on the day, as she knocked off Queens' Melissa Laing at the No. 2 position. Senior Avery Owens (No. 1) and sophomore Alexandra Ebner (No. 3) dropped straight-set matches, rounding out the singles round.
With her win, Bruning improved to 12-2 for the season and 10-0 in conference matches. The 12 wins on the year currently leads the team as the Athens, Ga. native is the lone Trojan with double figure victories for the season.
Anderson wraps up its regular season with a trip to Fort Mill, S.C. to face Conference Carolinas opponent Belmont Abbey on Tuesday before beginning tournament action on Wednesday. First serve against the Crusaders is set for 4 p.m.

ABILENE, Kan. — Broad-line retailer ALCO Stores asserted that it is off to a favorable start this holiday season, after reporting a 2.7% in sales from continuing operations for the quarterly period ending November 25.
ALCO reported a profit for the fiscal four-month period ending November 25, showing an increase of $42.4 million from $41.3 million during the same period last year. Its same-store sales dipped 1.7% from a year earlier. Year-to-date figures also increased 1.8% to $383 million from $376.2 million during the same period last year. Year-to-date same-store sales dipped 1.3% from last year.
"We are pleased with ALCO's 2.7% increase in total sales, which reflects a good start to the holiday shopping season and the contribution of our newer stores," said Rich Wilson, president and CEO. "In particular, sales at our two newest locations in Cut Bank, Montana, and Tioga, North Dakota, are both exceeding forecast. On a same-store basis, performance in November was strong in key holiday-season businesses, primarily toys, electronics, housewares, domestics, stationery and Christmas. In addition, the food and consumables businesses delivered same-store sales increases for November. Decreases in our apparel business negatively impacted the total same-store sales by 2.3%, primarily as a result of lower sales of cold-weather apparel."
The retailer, which has been in business for 111 years, is primarily located in small underserved communities across 23 states and operates a total of 217 stores that offer both brand name and private label products.

Abortion should become a rarity, not commonplace
I dream of a day when our leaders, instead of embracing abortion, join the majority of their fellow citizens and decry its use. I am encouraged that polls over the past several years have shown a large majority believes abortion should be banned or reasonable restrictions be placed on its use.
I look forward to when our leaders will stop using euphemisms like "pro-choice" and "reproductive options" as masks for "abortion" and acknowledge this "choice" or "option" for what it really is.

It's the worst form of birth control for all the reasons mentioned (cost, emotional toll, etc.).
But does anyone really think it would be better to have 1.3 million more unwanted babies born every year?
We are all on the same side of the issue.
We all want less unwanted pregnancies.
Birth control is a combination of behavior and science from abstinence, through the pill to late term abortion.
No one is pro-abortion, everyone is anti-unwanted pregnancies (with the exception of some religions).
Everyone's goal should be to phase out of minimized abortion, but people aren't going to stop having sex.
Reducing abortion rates is going to be a combination of behavior and science.
It would be great if we could agree on that.

Any advice for how best to add French Horn to my arsenal given that I already play trumpet and flugelhorn? I'm quite proficient at the two and want to add a third instrument this year.
It's very different! The mouthpiece is smaller than a trumpet's, yet the instrument's range covers that of a trombone. And, while you can get away with playing flugelhorn like a trumpet, if you play the horn like a trumpet not many people are going to want to listen to you.
My advice would be to essentially relearn the horn fingerings from scratch instead of trying to transfer them from your existing valve chops (not to mention they're on a different hand).
The middle range of the french horn is two whole partials above where it sits for other brass instruments, and that means all of the partials for much of your playing are going to be MUCH closer together. It will be great training to have to really zero in on the partial you're trying to play more than you would have to if you were playing trumpet.
Other things to watch out for in basic french horn technique:
You will need to train your brain to go from "french horn mode" to "trumpet mode" and back. Skills will transfer from one to the other, but you should keep them distinct and integrate technique into them separately.
If you are playing a double horn, you may realize that the Bb side can be played just like a trumpet. If you're just goofing around, then fine, but DON'T do this as a way to learn french horn. The names of the notes are different since transpositions are still for F horn, and you need to learn the appropriate spots to switch from one side of the instrument to the other while staying in "french horn mode".
Adding French Horn to Trumpet and Flugelhorn? My advice woud be absolutely "yes". But try to think as a french horn player. Requires practice to change the mode. That's a great exercise for your brain. Have fun!!!

2010 has been over for some time and we're all probably ready to move on. 2011 could be a great year for music.
Justin Timberlake, No Doubt, D'Angelo and The White Stripes have all been rumored to be working on new albums. This is strictly hearsay, but if these artists, along with the ones listed below, release albums in the coming months, 2011 is shaping up to be a solid year for quality music.
Elektra Records
Album Title and Release Date TBA
» With their last album released in 2008, rumors of the French duo finally dropping another album will be music to a lot of their fans' ears. While they've been in record label limbo, JUSTICE has finally found a home at the newly revamped Elektra Records. Living up to the success of their smash hit D.A.N.C.E from the Grammy-nominated album Cross will be this tandem's toughest challenge.
Lady Gaga
Interscope Records
Born This Way – Release Date May 23rd
» Following up the success of The Fame would have been tough for anyone, but Gaga did it a year later with The Fame Monster. The expectations are even higher now, but if her latest single, "Born This Way" is any indication of what to expect, Lady Gaga fans won't disappoint.
Britney Spears
Jive Records
Album Title and Release Date TBA
» It may baffle some as to how Britney Spears has continued to capture the imagination and attention of so many for so long, but with tracks reportedly from her new album already leaking onto the internet, there's proof the public wants more Britney. With production from Dr. Luke and Max Martin, Spears' seventh studio album will continue to have pop appeal with a little bit of an edge.
Dr. Dre
Detox – Release Date TBA
» We've all heard the story over and over again (even mentioned in this magazine) about the announcement by Dr. Dre himself that Detox will see the light of day sometime in 2011. With the expectations Dre fans have put on this album, fairly or not, it will be scrutinized thoroughly. With a lukewarm reception to what is reportedly the first single, "Kush," it's plausible the Doctor will go back into the lab and retool this album. Again.

Adventures of a Scottish Heiress (Mass Market Paperbound)
She was determined to marry for love, never expecting that her adventures would lead her to a lifetime of passion.
The Runaway Heiress
Like many a Regency miss, Lyssa Harrell longs for love, but knows her duty lies in marriage. Still, when her father promises her hand to a dissolute but well-connected lord, she does the unthinkable ... she flees to Scotland. Not to Gretna Green, but to her family -- and to the castle where her mother once had been so happy. In this romantic land she will discover her heart's desire.
A Man Seeking His Fortune
But she doesn't count on Ian Campion. The ruggedly handsome man has his orders: fetch the runaway daughter home! Ian has a price on his head and a dire need for the reward Lyssa's father offers. Tracking Lyssa down is easy enough, convincing her to return is difficult ... and not seducing her is impossible.
And Their Scandalous Adventures
Soon, Lyssa is on the adventure of a lifetime. She has to sleep in the great outdoors, and flee from mysterious attempts on her life. She knows she's ruined in the eyes of society, but she is willing to face true ruin -- and risk everything for the unimaginable passion she finds in Ian's strong arms. And when they return to civilization, the two must confront the most perilous adventure of all ... admitting their unanticipated love.
About the Author

Praise For…

Virginia Tech returns nine defensive starters from last year but is a 21-point underdog, the biggest spread facing the Hokies since a 1991 game at Florida State (-27.5), according to VegasInsider.com.
Also on Saturday, No. 8 Clemson hosts No. 5 Georgia (8 p.m., ABC) in a battle of explosive offenses. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray led the nation with 10.1 yards per completion last season and hands off to the nation's best running-back duo: Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. Tigers quarterback Tajh Boyd threw for nearly 3,900 yards last season, and junior receiver Sammy Watkins looks to rebound from a sophomore slump.
Will Tebow Survive With the Patriots?
NFL players are nervously checking their cellphones this weekend, as teams make their final roster cuts before the start of the regular season.
Teams have until 6 p.m. Eastern on Saturday to trim down to 53 players. Some big names are on the bubble. Patriots quarterback Tim Tebow could make the team if New England breaks its recent trend and keeps three quarterbacks. Tom Brady is a lock, and backup quarterback Ryan Mallett is thought to be a certainty to make the team, leaving Tebow, who has been inconsistent in the preseason, in peril.
Others in jeopardy include 49ers quarterback Colt McCoy, Redskins quarterback Pat White and Steelers back Felix Jones.
One notable move occurred on Friday: The Falcons cut linebacker Brian Banks, who returned to football after being cleared of a rape charge for which he spent five years in prison. Also released Friday: Bills quarterback Matt Leinart, a former Southern California star who spent less than a week with Buffalo after starting camp without a team.

Is this available somewhere. I want an image with nothing of unity in it only gnome 3. Something like the new Fedora. The problem is that when I tried gnome 3 in my current Ubuntu install the installation wasn't perfect. I just want to test a completely vanilla Ubuntu with gnome 3.
It is a pity for users like me that there was no image provided on the official website.
Will an image be provided? I don't dislike Unity but I was looking forward to try Gnome 3 on Ubuntu.

Chapter 16
That's Jesus Playing that Fiddle
Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.
—Matthew 25:40 (msg)
At 7:51 a.m., January 12, 2007, a young musician took his position against a wall in a Washington, D.C. metro station. He wore jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. He opened a violin case, removed his instrument, threw a few dollars and pocket change into the case as seed money, and began to play.
He played for the next forty-three minutes. He performed six classical pieces. During that time 1,097 people passed by. They tossed in money to the total of $32.17. Of the 1,097 people, seven—only seven—paused longer than sixty seconds. And of the seven, one—only one—recognized the violinist Joshua Bell.
Three days prior to this metro appearance staged by the Washington Post, Bell filled Boston's Symphony Hall, where just fairly good tickets went for $100 a seat. Two weeks after the experiment, he played for a standing-room-only audience in Bethesda, Maryland. Joshua Bell's talents can command $1,000 a minute. That day in the subway station, he barely earned enough to buy a cheap pair of shoes.
You can't fault the instrument. He played a Stradivarius built in the golden period of Stradivari's career. It's worth $3.5 million. You can't fault the music. Bell successfully played a piece from Johann Sebastian Bach that Bell called "one of the greatest achievements of any man in history."
But scarcely anyone noticed. No one expected majesty in such a context. Shoe-shine stand to one side, kiosk to the other. People buying magazines, newspapers, chocolate bars, and lotto tickets. And who had time? This was a workday. This was the Washington workforce. Government workers mainly, on their way to budget meetings and management sessions. Who had time to notice beauty in the midst of busyness? Most did not.
Most of us will someday realize that we didn't either. From the perspective of heaven, we'll look back on these days—these busy, cluttered days—and realize, That was Jesus playing the violin. That was Jesus wearing the ragged clothes. That was Jesus in the orphanage . . . in the jail . . . in the cardboard shanty. The person needing my help was Jesus.
There are many reasons to help people in need.
"Benevolence is good for the world."
"We all float on the same ocean. When the tide rises, it benefits everyone."
"To deliver someone from poverty is to unleash that person's potential as a researcher, educator, or doctor."
"As we reduce poverty and disease, we reduce war and atrocities. Healthy, happy people don't hurt each other."
Compassion has a dozen advocates.
But for the Christian, none is higher than this: when we love those in need, we are loving Jesus. It is a mystery beyond science, a truth beyond statistics. But it is a message that
Jesus made crystal clear: when we love them, we love him.
This is the theme of his final sermon. The message he saved until last. He must want this point imprinted on our conscience. He depicted the final judgment scene. The last day, the great Day of Judgment. On that day Jesus will issue an irresistible command. All will come. From sunken ships and forgotten cemeteries, they will come. From royal tombs and grassy battlefields, they will come. From Abel, the first to die, to the person being buried at the moment Jesus calls, every human in history will be present.
All the angels will be present. The whole heavenly universe will witness the event. A staggering denouement. Jesus at some point will "separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats" (Matt. 25:32). Shepherds do this. They walk among the flock and, one by one, with the use of a staff direct goats in one direction and sheep in the other.
Graphic, this thought of the Good Shepherd stepping through the flock of humanity. You. Me. Our parents and kids. "Max, go this way." "Ronaldo, over there." "Maria, this side."
How can one envision this moment without the sudden appearance of this urgent question: What determines his choice? How does Jesus separate the people?
Jesus gives the answer. Those on the right, the sheep, will be those who fed him when he was hungry, brought him water when he was thirsty, gave him lodging when he was lonely, clothing when he was naked, and comfort when he was sick or imprisoned. The sign of the saved is their concern for those in need. Compassion does not save them—or us.
Salvation is the work of Christ. Compassion is the consequence of salvation.
The sheep will react with a sincere question: when? When did we feed, visit, clothe, or comfort you (vv. 34–39)?
Jesus' answer will sound something like this. "Remember when you got off the subway? It was a wintry Washington morning. Commuters were bundled and busy and focused on their work. You were too, mind you. But then you saw me. Yes, that was me! Standing between the coffee kiosk and the newsstand, that was me. I was wearing a baseball cap and a scarf and playing a fiddle. The mob rushed past as if I were a plastic plant. But you stopped. I knew you were busy. You looked at your watch twice. But still you stopped and remembered me. You stepped over to the coffee stand, bought me a cup, and brought it over. I want you to know I never forgot that."
Jesus will recount, one by one, all the acts of kindness. Every deed done to improve the lot of another person. Even the small ones. In fact, they all seem small. Giving water.
Offering food. Sharing clothing. As Chrysostom pointed out, "We do not hear, 'I was sick and you healed me,' or 'I was in prison and you liberated me.'" The works of mercy are simple deeds. And yet, in these simple deeds we serve Jesus. Astounding this truth: we serve Christ by serving needy people.
The Jerusalem church understood this. How else can we explain their explosion across the world? We've only considered a handful of their stories. What began on Pentecost with the 120 disciples spilled into every corner of the world. Antioch. Corinth. Ephesus. Rome. The book of Acts, unlike other New Testament books, has no conclusion. That's because the work has not been finished.
Many years ago I heard a woman discuss this work. She visited a Catholic church in downtown Miami, Florida, in 1979. The small sanctuary overflowed with people. I was surprised.
The event wasn't publicized. I happened to hear of the noon-hour presentation through a friend. I was living only a few blocks from the church. I showed up a few minutes early in hopes of a front-row seat. I should have arrived two hours early. People packed every pew and aisle. Some sat in windowsills. I found a spot against the back wall and waited. I don't know if the air conditioning was broken or nonexistent, but the windows were open, and the south coast air was stuffy. The audience was chatty and restless. Yet when she entered the room, all stirring stopped.
No music. No long introduction. No fanfare from any public officials. No entourage. Just three, maybe four, younger versions of herself, the local priest, and her.
The father issued a brief word of welcome and told a joke about placing a milk crate behind the lectern so we could see his guest. He wasn't kidding. He positioned it, and she stepped up, and those blue eyes looked out at us. What a face. Vertical lines chiseled around her mouth. Her nose, larger than most women would prefer. Thin lips, as if drawn with a pencil, and a smile naked of pretense.
She wore her characteristic white Indian sari with a blue border that represented the Missionaries of Charity, the order she had founded in 1949. Her sixty-nine years had bent her already small frame. But there was nothing small about Mother Teresa's presence.
"Give me your unborn children," she offered. (Opening words or just the ones I remember most? I don't know.) "Don't abort them. If you cannot raise them, I will. They are precious to God."
Who would have ever pegged this slight Albanian woman as a change agent? Born in a cauldron of ethnic strife, the Balkans. Shy and introverted as a child. Of fragile health. One of three children. Daughter of a generous but unremarkable businessman. Yet somewhere along her journey, she became convinced that Jesus walked in the "distressing disguise of the poor," and she set out to love him by loving them. In 1989 she told a reporter that her Missionaries had picked up around fifty-four thousand people from the streets of Calcutta and that twenty-three thousand or so had died in their care.
I wonder if God creates people like Mother Teresa so he can prove his point: "See, you can do something today that will outlive your life."
There are several billion reasons to consider his challenge. Some of them live in your neighborhood; others live in jungles you can't find and have names you can't pronounce.
Some of them play in cardboard slums or sell sex on a busy street. Some of them walk three hours for water or wait all day for a shot of penicillin. Some of them brought their woes on themselves, and others inherited the mess from their parents.
None of us can help everyone. But all of us can help someone. And when we help them, we serve Jesus.
Who would want to miss a chance to do that?
Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me."
(Matthew 25:34–36 nlt)
O Lord, where did I see you yesterday . . . and didn't recognize you? Where will I encounter you today . . . and fail to identify you? O my Father, give me eyes to see, a heart to respond, and hands and feet to serve you wherever you encounter me! Transform me, Lord, by your Spirit into a servant of Christ, who delights to meet the needs of those around me. Make me a billboard of your grace, a living advertisement for the riches of your compassion. I long to hear you say to me one day, "Well done, good and faithful servant." And I pray that today I would be that faithful servant who does well at doing good. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
Questions for Discussion
1. What various motivations move people to act compassionately?
2. For Christians, what is the key motivator to compassionate action?
3. On the Day of Judgment, how will Jesus separate the righteous from the unrighteous, according to Matthew 25:31–46? Why is this passage so hard to take at face value?
4. Which group was surprised at Jesus' choice in Matthew 25? Was it the sheep, the goats, or both? Why would they be surprised?
5. How are you trying to outlive your life now in ways you were not six months ago?
Ideas for Action
■ Go back through this book in the next few days, and note the verses or quotes that most gripped your heart. On a separate sheet of paper or a few cards, write down these words and put them in a place that will keep the truths in front of you. Place them on your bathroom mirror, in your car, on your desk, in your purse, in your wallet, or on your door. Don't forget the message and mission you have taken from Outlive Your Life.
■ Finalize your personal action plan with the goal of outliving your life. Determine how your gifts, passion, and opportunities best fit into God's plan to serve your neighborhood, community, and world. Overlay that template on your personal calendar to put your plan into action.

Local congressmen playing games with shutdown
Once again, the words of our local congressmen are not matching up with his votes. In the past, we have lauded Representative Tom Rooney and Dennis Ross for their independence from party orthodoxy. It is increasingly harder to do, as Rooney and Ross succumb to the fear of a tea party primary opponent and lurched rightward in recent years.
The latest example was their unwillingness to buck the tea party or House Speaker John Boehner in their foolish strategy of demanding a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in exchange for passing a bill to fund the government. The gambit resulted in the shutting down of non-essential federal government functions across the country.
Rooney voted for three separate bills recently that were doomed in the Democratic-controlled Senate, but recently told a columnist in Sarasota that the shutdown was bad politics.
"Mitt Romney was our chance to repeal Obamacare," Rooney told the columnist. "Our next president is our next best chance."
Rooney is not alone.
U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, told the National Journal on Tuesday he thinks health care reform ultimately will be implemented despite the GOP recent efforts.
"We've lost this battle. We need to move to the next one," Ross said, according to the article.
Like Rooney, Ross said the public will reject the reforms when they are enacted.
"If Obamacare becomes law it will fall under its own weight of complexities, costs and inconsistencies, all at the expense of the American people," Ross said in a statement to a Sarasota newspaper.
The House's job each year is to pass appropriations bills to fund government operations. If it cannot accomplish that, a remedy is short-term continuing resolutions that fund the government at existing levels. As a result of prior negotiations over raising the debt ceiling, that level is known as the sequester level set by the Budget Control Act of 2011, which is projected to cut spending by $109 billion in 2013 and $1.2 trillion through 2021. The Senate would have passed and Obama would have signed a continuing resolution with spending at sequester levels. In fact, the House bill set spending at those levels, but insisted on tacking on anti-Obamacare language on the eve of the law's implementation nationwide.
It is time for Congress and the president to address long-term budgetary issues that threaten to tack hundreds of billions of dollars to our debt, including the growth of Medicare. This will require hard choices, including potential means testing, raising the eligibility age and exploring how we handle end-of-life treatment. We're so serious about controlling rising health costs, we disagree with those who push plans that exempt current recipients. It's too easy for voters on Medicare to say future recipients should pay more and get less treatment at a later age. Having skin in the game ensures voters aren't making choices based on someone else's pain.
Making those hard decisions isn't possible if moderates refuse to stand up against extremists in their own party and insist on goodwill negotiations and compromise, even when they control only one branch of the government. It's virtually impossible when you're on the side trying to pretend it didn't cause the shutdown.

What if you wanted to simplify a mathematical expression containing exponents, like ? How would you do so? After completing this Concept, you'll be able to use the product of powers property to simplify exponential expressions like this one.
Watch This
CK-12 Foundation: 0801S Product of Powers
Back in chapter 1, we briefly covered expressions involving exponents, like or . In these expressions, the number on the bottom is called the base and the number on top is the power or exponent. The whole expression is equal to the base multiplied by itself a number of times equal to the exponent; in other words, the exponent tells us how many copies of the base number to multiply together.
Example A
Write in exponential form.
a) because we have 2 factors of 2
b) because we have 3 factors of (-3)
c) because we have 5 factors of
d) because we have 4 factors of
When the base is a variable, it's convenient to leave the expression in exponential form; if we didn't write , we'd have to write instead. But when the base is a number, we can simplify the expression further than that; for example, equals , but we can multiply all those 2's to get 128.
Let's simplify the expressions from Example A.
Example B
c) is already simplified
Be careful when taking powers of negative numbers. Remember these rules:
So even powers of negative numbers are always positive. Since there are an even number of factors, we pair up the negative numbers and all the negatives cancel out.
And odd powers of negative numbers are always negative. Since there are an odd number of factors, we can still pair up negative numbers to get positive numbers, but there will always be one negative factor left over, so the answer is negative:
Use the Product of Powers Property
So what happens when we multiply one power of by another? Let's see what happens when we multiply to the power of 5 by cubed. To illustrate better, we'll use the full factored form for each:
So . You may already see the pattern to multiplying powers, but let's confirm it with another example. We'll multiply squared by to the power of 4:
So . Look carefully at the powers and how many factors there are in each calculation. 's times 's equals 's. 's times 's equals 's.
You should see that when we take the product of two powers of , the number of 's in the answer is the total number of 's in all the terms you are multiplying. In other words, the exponent in the answer is the sum of the exponents in the product.
Product Rule for Exponents:
There are some easy mistakes you can make with this rule, however. Let's see how to avoid them.
Example C
Multiply .
Note that when you use the product rule you don't multiply the bases. In other words, you must avoid the common error of writing . You can see this is true if you multiply out each expression: 4 times 8 is definitely 32, not 1024.
Example D
Multiply .
In this case, we can't actually use the product rule at all, because it only applies to terms that have the same base. In a case like this, where the bases are different, we just have to multiply out the numbers by hand—the answer is not or or or anything simple like that.

TEMPLE (January 4, 2013)--A Temple man pleaded guilty Friday in Waco's federal court to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine within 1000 feet of a public playground.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith set Paul Michael Gomez for sentencing on Feb. 27.
An affidavit filed in U.S. Magistrate's court says on Oct. 30, 2012, officers with the Temple Police Department's Special Investigations Unit served a search warrant on a residence in Temple.
The officers found methamphetamine, Xanax, drug paraphernalia, scales and a .40 caliber handgun that police later discovered was reported stolen.
Police also recovered $2,091 in U.S. currency, two loaded magazines, marijuana and records that showed Gomez's name.
During an interview after his arrest, Gomez admitted to police that the drugs and gun were his, but said he was not aware that the gun had been stolen.
