4-5PM EST on Wednesday April 22. See Live Meeting link and information at end of this blog post.
Green IT/Development/Architecture/SQL Professional DBA activities are a component of what has has been touted as the next Internet (check Juval Lowy's UTube media clip on the EnergyNet, of which Green IT/Dev/Architecture is a subset). It presents huge opportunities and is a Hot Topic, in the midst of otherwise uncertain economic times. Whether you work for a company, want to look better for your company, or want to go Entrepreneurial with the topic, you need to learn about this stuff!
Once the IT Pros and SQL Professionals/DBA's have done their Green IT "thing", it will be time for Developers and Architects to step in and do the heavy lifting--or even better yet, they should be conducting their Green Dev activities concurrently with the IT Pros. The IT Pros and SQL Professionals can only manage the load they get as greenly as possible. Only Developers and Architects can actually reduce the load to the data center.
Listening to an Earth Week program on PBS earlier this week from PlanetForward http://www.planetforward.com/, one of the participants kept bringing the panel back to the fact that energy conservation at the local level is relatively inexpensive and reduces the cost of providing energy hugely. That is a good analogy to Green Development and Architecture (home conservation) compared to Data Centers (think power plants).
So Developers and Architects need to be gearing up and implementing Green Dev and Green Architecture practices NOW!!! And we need to get the community rocking to figure out what those are!
Join in! We will be starting to have swag each month for the Best Green Developer tip, the Best Green Development tool for the group to look at, and the Best Green Developer Case Study. Repeat after me, Silverlight is greener than Ajax (fewer postbacks, thin client, etc.), is greener than... we need to fill in the blanks on these for all of the technologies we use and develop in.
From the high level (if someone was just getting into Development, what is the "Greenest" technology they could build in and why? How do we figure that out and measure it? How do those metrics change based on the specs of the application?)
In this Live Meeting, Join Presenter Kathy Malone, Green Guru, and Russ "Tool Shed" Fustino as he moderates and generates a discussion about what tools are out there, how they can be used, and what are the components of measuring the "greenness" of development methodologies.
For this meeting, we will do a short introduction to what Green Development/Architecture is, then will get right into the "Nuts and Bolts" of the topic. Time to roll up your sleeves and join us! Hope to see you there!
Kathy Malone has worked in the Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) technology space (the "plumbing" of Green and Sustainability) since 1976, especially in the automotive, aerospace, and hazardous waste management verticals. Her work has included projects in enterprise architecture, software design, build, and maintenance, and consulting. Much of her career she says that she has been an interpreter (and sometimes referee) between users and deveopers in the environmental, health and safety field. Recently, she has been learning how the new Microsoft tools can be used to help with the Green and Sustainable issues that face us today, both as being part of the solutions, and to better track "conventional" Green activities. Earlier this year she started the Green .Net User's Group (GreeNTUG).

Darron Cummings, Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana athletic director Fred Glass promised to pay the going rate for a new football coach.
A seven-year, $8.4 million contract did just the trick.
On Tuesday, the Hoosiers introduced Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson as their new, high-priced guy. Wilson is Indiana's sixth coach since 1996 and easily the best-paid.
"Shoot, we're going to build something special here and it starts with me," Wilson said. "We're going to be tough, we're going to be physical, we're going to put up a lot of points and when you're going against Coach (Bob) Stoops every day, you learn how to play great defense and we're going to have a great defense."
Hoosiers fans have heard all these bold promises before.
What they want are results.
Glass believes that going all in with Wilson, a highly touted assistant coach who has only one year of head coaching experience on his resume — 1989 at North Carolina's Foard High School, will deliver more wins.
"I had to go out and find out if he had it, and I felt almost as soon as I met him that he had it," Glass said Tuesday, emphasizing the word "it." ''One of the things I was looking for was someone with head coaching experience or someone who could be a head coach. I ended up focusing on guys who had done it on the big stage."
Wilson brings a broad variety of traits to Bloomington.
He knows what it takes to win in the Big Ten after spending three seasons with the late Randy Walker at Northwestern.
He worked on the same staff at Miami (Ohio) with the late Terry Hoeppner, the revered Hoosiers coach who died of brain cancer in June 2007.
He is familiar with Midwestern recruiting circles, going back to his days when the area was his recruiting responsibility as a graduate assistant at North Carolina from 1984-86.
He's been a position coach for every spot on the offense except receivers and he's called plays for Northwestern's fast-paced spread offense and Oklahoma's high-scoring multiple offense.
He coached a Heisman Trophy winner in Sam Bradford and now, after winning the 2008 Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant, Wilson finally has his own head coaching gig.
"I think it's time, and I think it's been time for a while, it just hasn't been the right place," Wilson said. "And my job got so good, you just don't want to leave (Oklahoma). I was looking for the right place where we could win, where it would be a tremendous challenge and a place where my family could live."
Apparently, Bloomington fit those requirements.
But turning around this program won't be easy.
Bill Mallory has more wins (69) than any Hoosiers coach in history, and no Indiana coach has produced a career winning percentage over .500 since Bo McMillin left in 1947.
Lynch did what he could, leading the Hoosiers to their first bowl game in 14 years in 2007. Then came three straight losing seasons and three one-win Big Ten seasons, which culminated in Lynch's firing Nov. 28. The Hoosiers finished 2010 at 5-7 (1-7).
Wilson, who met briefly with Indiana players Tuesday, has a plan to change that reputation. Heck, he's even looking forward to playing Big Ten newcomer Nebraska even before the two schools are scheduled to meet in 2013.
"We could play them in the conference championship," Wilson said. "If they're good enough to win their division in the next two years."
What Nebraska, and other Big Ten schools, will likely see is some version of the Oklahoma offense that piled up an NCAA record 716 points in 2008.

The EPA has released the annual listing of U.S. metropolitan areas featuring the most Energy Star certified buildings for 2011. By the end of 2011, the nearly 16,500 Energy Star certified buildings across America have helped save nearly $2.3 billion in annual utility bills and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to emissions from the annual energy use of more than 1.5 million homes.
"More and more organizations are discovering the value of Energy Star as they work to cut costs and reduce their energy use," says EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "This year marked the twentieth anniversary of the Energy Star program, and today Energy Star certified buildings in cities across America are helping to strengthen local economies and protect the planet for decades to come."
The top cities?
Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion per year. Commercial buildings that earn EPA's Energy Star must perform in the top 25% of similar buildings nationwide and must be independently verified by a licensed professional engineer or a registered architect. Energy Star certified buildings use an average of 35% less energy and are responsible for 35% less carbon dioxide emissions than typical buildings. Fifteen types of commercial buildings can earn the Energy Star, including office buildings, K-12 schools, and retail stores.
A full listing of the top Energy Star cities can be found here.

By Jennifer AldridgeDecember 26, 2013
WIESBADEN, Germany -- Did you have a mentor growing up? Perhaps you can recall a role model, adviser or volunteer who helped steer you toward the career you have today.
Last year, more than 20 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District volunteers spent time with local students -- helping them understand the practical applications of science, technology, engineering and math; set education and career goals; and relate and communicate better with adults. As the nation celebrates Mentoring Month, it is fitting to recap the district's efforts in 2013 and encourage continued volunteer engagement in the future.
Through seven formal outreach activities, the district connected with elementary- through university-level students, in and out of the classroom, helping them identify and cultivate their interest in Army STEM careers.
Using face-to-face video conferencing, Jason Cade, a district project manager, together with his Leadership Development Program teammates, coordinated an e-learning session for Wiesbaden Middle School physics students last January. Cade taught a lesson on roller-coaster engineering, discussing the physics behind the thrilling amusement ride.
The LDP team worked with Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe to identify opportunities to bolster student interest in STEM subjects. Web conferencing was a simple, convenient way to interact with the school audience, Cade said.
"Providing kids the opportunity to see why science and math are important -- it's like the light comes on and they finally understand how practicing a math problem will help them calculate the force acting upon them on a roller coaster -- it's priceless," he said. "By volunteering, we are imparting the knowledge and experiences that we have garnered through our career and helping shape young minds on the value of what we do."
In honor of National Engineers Week, district employees presented structural engineering, alternative energy and fire-protection concepts to DoDDS-Europe Wiesbaden Middle School students in February.
Lawrence Carabajal, a district structural engineer, presented a bridge-building lesson to eighth-grade science and math students. He used a hands-on approach, constructing a Leonardo da Vinci-designed wooden bridge for students to test and re-create.
Once the bridge was constructed, students were eager to test the capacity by adding textbooks, two at a time, to determine the applied load the structure could hold. Volunteers loaded the bridge with 20 textbooks until an audible crack replaced the silence in the school foyer.
Getting students excited about engineering early, in middle school, is critical, Carabajal said.
"Our country is in dire need of more scientists and engineers," he said. "The president has this STEM initiative because so much of the work is being sent overseas. We have to educate [students] and keep that work in our country."
Some Wiesbaden Middle School students got a peek at engineer life during 'Take Your Child to Work Day' at district headquarters in April.
The annual event is an educational tool that took root in the U.S. and Canada two decades ago. More than 30 students attended, including four with a deployed parent and 10 children of district personnel.
Erika McCormick, a member of the current LDP team, said she volunteers at events like this because everyone shares the responsibility to prepare young adults for the future.
"If you have something worth sharing, you should share it," she said. "STEM volunteers provide kids with ideas for future STEM occupations."
In May, Brian Temple, the district's public affairs chief and a trained magician, integrated his hobby into his day job and taught students from Aukamm Elementary School about the science behind the magic as part of the district's STEM outreach program.
Temple performed magic tricks using rope, coins, cards and flash paper, and explained the science and technology behind the production of these props.
Throughout the presentation, he played on students' excitement about magic to reveal how STEM supports the art.
It's important for schools and professional organizations to work together through creative means to show students that STEM is critical to America's future, Temple said.
"Our educators do a great job teaching our children about these elements, but then you get to bring in someone who has made a career of it, who is passionate about it, and they come and share their experiences and knowledge with these students; it's really a great marriage in that partnership," he said. "They get the traditional education and they get a lot of hands-on interaction with those of us in the Corps who are volunteering our services."
In April, district Environmental Branch colleagues Vanessa Pepi, McCormick and Nicole Silva presented Earth Day topics to more than 200 Wiesbaden Middle School students.
The three environmentalists -- a biologist, chemist and project manager -- spoke to students in grades six through eight about natural resources, green energy, deforestation, the Endangered Species Act and environmental careers.
Silva, a repeat Earth Day presenter, said she continues volunteering year-to-year because she likes to see the children inspired and excited by science.
"As a woman with a career in an engineering and science field, it is very important to encourage all children to pursue careers in the sciences," she said.
Pepi explained that she volunteers because she wouldn't be where she is today without the guidance of mentors.
"I need to pay it forward," she said.
Today, the U.S. is falling behind other countries in STEM subjects, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. U.S. students recently finished 17th in science and 25th in math in a ranking of 31 countries worldwide.
A democratic republic, like the U.S., needs involved, intelligent people to make it a great place to live, Pepi said.
"The U.S. has been in the forefront of a lot of inventions," she said. "We can only maintain that position by ensuring that the country invests in the education system, ensuring it is top-notch and available to everyone."
The district welcomed Michael Gray-Lewis, Yillian Rivera, Donatello Barrett and Tiffany Williams -- the 2013 Advancing Minorities' Interest in Engineering interns -- to Europe in June.
AMIE is a nonprofit program designed to attract, educate, graduate and place minority students in engineering careers. The district's interns, rising seniors pursuing engineering degrees from historically black colleges and universities, gained real-world experience at USACE.
Darren Walls, the district's AMIE coordinator, can trace his involvement with the program back to 1998, when he was an intern here. He wanted to explore a career with USACE. Now, in his capacity as AMIE coordinator, he mentors future engineers, helping them pursue STEM professions with the government.
Walls' evolution from mentee to mentor demonstrates the value of mentoring relationships -- both sides gain from the experience, he said.
The district challenged Wiesbaden Middle School students to explain, in 500 words or less, why they are interested in pursuing STEM careers.
The winners -- Pete Greig, Chuck Oliver and Isabella Lee -- representing the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, respectively, were selected from a pool of 80 contest entrants by DoDDS-Europe officials. The essays detailed Pete's interest in robotics engineering, Chuck's love of cars and mechanical engineering, and Isabella's fascination with roller-coaster engineering. To recognize their accomplishments and celebrate their interest in STEM, district leaders and subject matter experts hosted the trio here in November.
Six district colleagues spoke on topics ranging from environmental protection and humanitarian assistance to missile defense and mining engineering.
This event was an opportunity for Europe District to partner with the middle school to inspire young students to pursue STEM within USACE and the Army, said Lt. Col. Andy Hemphill, district deputy commander.
"Our country needs lots of engineers and people who are smart and capable of performing in science and technology realms," he said. "We need them to support our economy and improve the lives of people in our nation and across the world."
U.S. students are falling behind their peers worldwide in STEM subjects, risking the country's future innovation and economic growth. But as an organization of engineers, USACE can help.
District leadership is focused on growing the STEM outreach program in 2014 and beyond. In the past, most of the district's volunteering and mentoring activities have centered on Wiesbaden. But just last week, the LDP team presented a Web conferencing lesson on gravity to Ansbach Elementary School students, and future activities with schools in Italy and Turkey are being explored, Hemphill said.
During National Mentoring Month and throughout the year, Hemphill encourages district colleagues to step up and follow the mentoring theme, Be Someone Who Matters to Someone Who Matters -- future engineers and STEM professionals.
Editor's note: District employees should contact Lt. Col. Charles "Andy" Hemphill, and courtesy copy their supervisor, if interested in STEM volunteer opportunities.

It's always good to have A K play good. Last night he had 0 turnovers in 48 minutes. That is definantly an improvement in his game. I would like to see A K learn to box out on rebounds. One rebound in 48 minutes is not going to cut it for a front line player on a supposed contending team. This area of A K's game needs alot of work and a conscious effort towards improvement.

For the superstar money AK makes, the team needs a double double every night out him and we have yet to see that happen. I think this team needs a better shooting guard, someone to help stretch the floor.

Why it's always money? He got paid what he does. Ak is not Lebron Wade or Koby but he gets involved he could pull 20-25 every night. But scoring is not his main thing, hustle and team play that's what he does best. No wonder when Ak on fire Jazz always wins.

AK is the X factor, if he plays well the Jazz usually win.
CJ is maybe the next X factor, if he can become consistent, he makes the Jazz hard to beat, he gives the Jazz the 3 pt shooter they need and spreads the floor.
I'm hoping he can be consistent.
Fes is my next hopeful X factor, if he can get playing time, he will show how much of a positive effect he has on the game, he changes how the other team attacks. He is the defensive presence we need in the paint.

i think the X-Factor will be Gordon Hayward...if he gets an average of 20 mins a game...he might evolve into a Manu Ginobili type of player...the Kid can ball...if you placed him at the two...he gets height advantage...he can handle the ball very well...i think we need this kid to improve...he will be a very special player in the near future...

At any rate, I'm down for boosting too.

Sorry that this question is repetitive, but I can't seem to solve the problem. I'm hoping someone can help me to troubleshoot.
I installed wordpress in my root directory. The install was successful and I can log in to my dashboard for WP. However, the blog is not showing up when I enter the site address (rebeccamfreeman.com); I'm still seeing Bluehost's default screen. I've already gone into my directory and deleted the default.html file, but that didn't do anything.
Other suggestions?

We're developing a site for an academic institution and will recommend using WordPress as the platform. We'd like to enable students to create their own sites using WordPress and am wondering is there is any enterprise-type of WordPress that would allow us to administer properties for 400 students. Would it be easier / safer to just create sub-domains and install an individual copy on each?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hot answers tagged quicklook
This "blank Quicklook image" Bug is caused by the activation of the undocumented TextSelection-Feature. As soon as I deleted that feature with this terminal command the blank images were never seen again ;-) defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder; If this delete-command doesn't work for you, you could try to disable the ...
Download a release of qlstephen from Github, and load it into the /Library/Quicklook or ~/Library/QuickLook folder. Then, restart the Dock. I use this all the time when previewing JSON files, and it works great.
I've uploaded QuickLook and Spotlight plugins here: https://github.com/Marginal/QLVideo/wiki . These allow Finder to display thumbnails, static previews, cover art and metadata for most types of video files, including .asf, .avi, .flv, .mkv, .rm, .webm, .wmf etc.
Try: defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018924?start=15&tstart=0
Isn't QuickLook enough? You could also try to upload them on Google Docs.
A temporary solution is to press ALT (twice) when presented with a grey image.
From the CLI qlmanage -r will reset the Quick Look cache.
It looks like all the previous answers to this question are completely uninformed. I suggest that you completely disregard all of them. It is unlikely, for instance, that telling the document creator that what they did was faulty will really get you anywhere. First, it's likely that they did not embed fonts, yes, but there are many fonts that carry flags ...
also installable via brew cask install qlstephen
I don't think Snow Leopard did that by default, you most likely had a QuickLook plugin installed, such as qlcolorcode or colorqc2. You can simply install this again in Lion.
Yes Thilo, there is a way. It will require a bit of command line wizardry though. As long as you're not allergic you can do the following: Open Terminal.app Change directories to the location of the file you want to view using QuickLook. For example, if the file you want to view using QuickLook is on your desktop you would type: "cd ~/Desktop" (no ...
Quick Look won't let you do this. Mainly because the core audio/video stuff behind quicktime doesn't support it. The easiest way to do this would honestly be to use VLC. This supports both file types you mention. The other way is to check out Perian, which gives you a bunch of extra codecs. Personally, I would try the VLC way first. You won't be able to ...
It seems this fixed it for me: defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection && killall Finder I turned text selection in the Quick Look Window on a long time ago. After disabling it, the bug is gone
It's not that the defaults write command fails. I verified the file, and it wrote the variable to it. The problem is somewhere in the design. Maybe they have moved it? I have been looking in the containers and other files but no luck yet. I hope they didn't completely kill it. Maybe there is a way to copy the old Yosemite version of QL back? If I ...
You might consider simply using QLStephen which will add proper QuickLook support for all text files regardless of their extensions. It will also properly handle files without extensions (e.g. README, Makefile). What I like about it is that you don't have to maintain a list of extensions; QLStephen detects text files automatically. QLStephen is independent ...
Actually, Xcode 3.x included a Quicklook plugin for source codes. With the intruduction of Xcode 4.x, such plugin has disappeared. I have personallly tried to use qlcolorcode and colorqc2 on Lion, but both are not stable/reliable enough (slow response, sometimes missing quicklook). An updated version of the plugins would be welcome.
Well, Better Zip does a fair job.
How do I keep QTKitServer (QuickLook Helper) CPU usage from exploding out of control? OR How do I disable QuickLook entirely?
Open Terminal, type: sudo nano /System/Library/Sandbox/Profiles/com.apple.qtkitserver.sb This will open the nano editor with the rules file. Scroll right to the bottom of this file and enter: (deny file-read* (regex #"^.*\.mkv$")) After this do Ctrl-O and then Ctrl-X to save and exit the application. Reference: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?...
You can open Word documents with the built-in TextEdit app. It will display and print them the same way (as far as I can tell) as QuickLook does.
Take a look at the QuickLook Stephen plugin referenced in this thread: Great Quick Look plugins It opens almost everything I throw at it (as long as they are text based).
Try Adobe Reader for Mac. Sometimes Preview is not a perfect substitute for that.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but native support of FLAC in Mavericks is near non-existent. Your best bet would be to just convert your FLAC to ALAC, or Apple Lossless Audio Codec. You can download the free utility XLD, or X Lossless Decoder, to convert. Download XLD from its homepage here: http://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html
Running defaults write -g QLEnableTextSelection -bool true and relaunching applications works for me. defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool true only applies to Finder but defaults write -g QLEnableTextSelection -bool true applies to all applications. If it doesn't work, see what Quick Look generator handles plain text files: $ ...
"QuickTime on Mavericks" is not QuickTime anymore - it is "AV Foundation". QuickLook and QuickTime Player are based on this "new QuickTime". "AV Foundation" comes from iOS, was implemented for Mac OS X too and does not offer extensions (and will never) like codecs / plugins. As Apple says: anything else than MPEG-4 (H.264) is old stuff and must be converted....
QuickLook for these types of files works because the file type is specified in Xcode's Info.plist. In order for QuickLook to use Xcode to quick view these files again in Finder, you'll need to edit Xcode's Info.plist file. This is found by right clicking the Xcode.app file in your Applications and clicking "Show Package Contents". You'll find Info.plist in ...
Open Terminal, and type the following: qlmanage -m plugins This will give you a fairly long list of all your active QuickLook plugins: The types listed there might look a little strange, like com.apple.safari.bookmark. Those are Apple Uniform Type Identifiers or short UTType identifiers, and there is a list of the default ones available from Apple here....
QuickLook's API is not all that great. It's meant for documents that can be displayed in a single frame, like text or photographs. There is no way that I know of (or apparently anyone else) to have QuickLook play movies. Apple obviously can, but they're clearly using APIs that the rest of us do not have access to.
Just to tie together the comments & partial answers… Current state of play [as of OS X 10.11.2] would actually appear to be "this can no longer be done". Regarding the following on QLEnableTextSelection… that one alternative will fix it whilst the other doesn't appears to be some kind of hopeful, yet unfounded, meme going round the interweb - people ...
I've had great luck with the free QLStephen plugin for Quick Look. It displays lots of other plaintext formats. Probably worth a shot to see if it will work with YAML files. You can get it here.

Lehman, JPMorgan, Bank of America, HP in Court News
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck said he never approved the final details of how billions of dollars of assets were to be distributed in bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s sale of its brokerage to Barclays Plc.
"Let me be clear about one thing, Mr. Boies," Peck told Barclays' lawyer David Boies. "I never approved the clarification letter," one of about 12,000 documents filed in the bankruptcy.
Peck had interrupted Boies as he began closing arguments in the $11 billion trial. The lawyer said the judge had no legal basis for reopening his own sale order because all details of the deal were known at the time. That included a so-called clarification letter allocating extra assets to Barclays. Lehman rose as much as 76 percent.
"No hearings took place in this court to approve the clarification letter," said Peck, who didn't indicate what effect his statement would have on the details of the brokerage sale. Peck may make a final ruling in January or February, lawyers in the case have said.
Lehman, which accuses Barclays of making an $11 billion "windfall" when it bought the brokerage in the 2008 financial crisis, is trying to convince Peck that he has grounds for overturning his own order approving the sale.
Kimberly Macleod, a Lehman spokeswoman, and Michael O'Looney, a Barclays spokesman, declined to comment.
Peck may require Barclays to return to Lehman any assets that were included in the deal as part of the clarification letter because the letter wasn't approved by the court, said Chip Bowles, a bankruptcy lawyer at Greenebaum Doll & McDonald PLLC in Louisville, Kentucky. Barclays also may lose its bid to get additional assets, he said.
Peck could rule "the clarification has no effect whatsoever," Bowles said. "That what's he signaling -- that this is not sacrosanct, this is not a final order of the court."
The case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Terra Firma Employees Back Hands's Testimony on Calls
Two Terra Firma Capital Partners Ltd. employees supported the testimony of their boss, firm founder Guy Hands, that Citigroup Inc. banker David Wormsley misled him about the 2007 auction for EMI Group Ltd.
Hands, whose firm is suing Citigroup for fraud in an $8.3 billion suit on trial in Manhattan federal court, claims Wormsley falsely told him in three phone calls the weekend before the auction that Cerberus Capital Management LP planned to submit a competing bid of 2.62 pounds per share for EMI.
"Guy called me up over the weekend and he said, 'I've just had a conversation with David Wormsley and he tells me that Cerberus is in. They will be bidding tomorrow, and they will be bidding a price of 262,'" the witness, Riaz Punja, told jurors yesterday.
Terra Firma claims that if it had known Cerberus had dropped out of the bidding before the May 21, 2007, auction, it wouldn't have submitted its own bid of 2.65 pounds for EMI, the 113-year-old music publishing and recording company based in London. Instead, the firm claims, it would have taken more time to study the transaction and negotiated a lower price.
Punja's testimony comes after Hands said Oct. 20 on cross-examination that he has no documents that prove Wormsley lied to him on the weekend leading up to the Monday-morning auction.
Hands is scheduled to resume his testimony today.
The case is Terra Firma v. Citigroup, 09-cv-10459, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

JPMorgan May Lose Business, Face Suit on Wintek Report
JPMorgan Chase & Co. may have lost a client's business and face a lawsuit after Taiwan's Wintek Corp. objected to an analyst's report that said investors should sell the company's shares as it was poised to lose market share.
Wintek will "end global depositary receipt cooperation with JPMorgan" because of an Oct. 19 research report by Taipei- based analyst Narci Chang, the company said in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange Oct. 20. The company, which makes components for Apple Inc.'s iPad and iPhone, may take legal action against Chang, the statement said.
Display makers AU Optronics Corp. and Chimei Innolux Corp. are a "serious threat" to Wintek because they're eroding orders from Apple, Chang said.
"The analyst report said new players will grab market share, but this assumption couldn't be accompanied by any evidence," Jay Huang, a spokesman for Taichung, Taiwan-based Wintek, said in a phone interview Oct. 20. "Without this event, I think we still would have cooperated with them to conduct the GDR offering."
Marie Cheung, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for JPMorgan, declined to comment.

Bank of America Must Face Employees' Overtime Suit
Bank of America Corp. must face a lawsuit claiming it fails to pay overtime to retail branch and call center employees, a federal judge ruled.
Judge John W. Lungstrum in Kansas City, Kansas, denied Oct. 20 Bank of America's request to dismiss the case, which consolidated separate employee lawsuits filed against the biggest U.S. bank by assets in California, Florida, Texas, Washington and Kansas.
Current and former hourly workers who were employed by the bank within the past three years argue the lender violated either the federal Fair Labor Standards Act or state wage and hour laws. Bank of America, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, asked Lungstrum to dismiss the case on grounds the employees failed to prove that they are entitled under federal law to the back pay they seek.
"The complaint here details numerous alleged ways in which the bank routinely denied overtime compensation to its retail branch and call center employees and details the nature of the work that employees were allegedly required to perform off-the-clock," Lungstrum wrote in yesterday's ruling.
The case is In re Bank of America Wage and Hour Employment Litigation, 10MD2138, U.S. District Court, District of Kansas (Kansas City).
U.S. Should Better Explain Bribery Settlements, Group Says
The U.S., while it still leads the world in battling corruption, should better explain why cases against corporations are settled, said an international group that combats transnational bribery.
The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development praised the U.S. for its commitment "at the highest echelon of the government" to fighting bribery in overseas business transactions. No country has investigated or brought more criminal cases among parties to the OECD's international anti-bribery treaty, the group's 38-country Working Group on Bribery said in a report made public yesterday.
At the same time, the report said, the U.S. Justice Department needs to do a better job of explaining why and how cases against corporations are resolved.
"Publishing more detailed reasons" for the resolution of cases "would give more insight into the DOJ's choice of settlement agreements and thus enhance accountability and transparency of the process," according to the 68-page report.
Most corporate cases in the U.S. are settled through agreements to defer or forego prosecution of companies, the group said. The U.S. government has reaped billions of dollars in fines and penalties through such agreements.
U.S. officials welcomed the report, which praised the government for creating specialized anti-bribery units in the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"The United States has risen to the forefront of enhanced global efforts to combat foreign bribery," Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said Oct. 20 in a statement.

New Suits
Labor Department Sues Over Plans' Madoff Investments
The U.S. Labor Department sued four investment firms for allegedly failing to examine swindler Bernard Madoff's business practices before entrusting him with hundreds of millions of dollars in pension funds.
Ivy Asset Management LLC, Beacon Associates Management Corp., J.P. Jeanneret Associates Inc., Andover Associates Management Corp. and their principals were named as defendants in a complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Manhattan.
The lawsuit was brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act on behalf of union-sponsored and single-employer benefit plans, according to the complaint. The Labor Department asked the court to order the defendants to "restore to the plans all losses suffered" as a result of fiduciary breaches by the defendants related to Madoff investments.
"These defendants chose their own financial interests over those of the plans whose assets they were duty bound to manage prudently," Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said in a statement.
Madoff, 72, is serving a 150 years in prison after admitting to orchestrating the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. When he was arrested in December 2008, account statements reflected 4,900 accounts with $65 billion in nonexistent investments, according to Irving Picard, the trustee overseeing the Madoff bankruptcy.
Ivy is a unit of New York-based Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Craig Brown, a spokesman for Jericho, New York-based Ivy, said he couldn't immediately comment.
Steven Kaplan and Tab Rosenfeld, Manhattan attorneys who represent White Plains, New York-based Beacon and principals Joel Danziger and Harris Markhoff in other Madoff-related litigation, didn't immediately return a call to their law firm seeking comment. Kaplan is listed as counsel to Andover in another case, according to court records.
Brian Whiteley, a Boston-based lawyer who represents Syracuse, New York-based J.P. Jeanneret and its principals, John Jeanneret and Paul Perry, also didn't return a call seeking comment.
The case is Solis v. Beacon Associates Management Corp., 10-cv-8000, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
HP Sued by Shareholders Over Kickback, Foreign Bribery Claims
Directors at Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's largest computer maker, were sued by shareholders over claims they permitted or encouraged violations of federal kickback and foreign bribery laws.
From 2007 to 2009, HP violated the federal anti-kickback law by paying government vendors "influencer fees" to win contracts to design information technology systems, according to the complaint filed in federal court in San Jose, California. The company is also under investigation for possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Current and former directors at HP "consciously condoned HP's illegal and unethical marketing practices," according to the Oct. 19 complaint. The misconduct has "put the company at risk of having its U.S. government contracts rescinded," the shareholders claim, adding that HP sales to U.S. agencies from 2007 to 2009 totaled more than $880 million.
The case relies in part on HP's announcement in August that it agreed to pay $55 million to settle a Justice Department probe of whether the company overcharged taxpayers through a General Services Administration contract. That settlement also resolved a False Claims Act lawsuit, first filed by a whistleblower and joined by the government, alleging that the company paid kickbacks.
HP spokeswoman Mylene Mangalindan didn't immediately return a call seeking comment. John McCool, an outside spokesman for the company, said HP is reviewing the complaint.
The case is Saginaw Police and Fire Pension Fund v. Andreessen, 10-4720, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).

Florida Money Manager Nadel Gets 14 Years for Fraud
Arthur Nadel, the Florida money manager accused of defrauding investors of $168 million, was sentenced yesterday to 14 years in prison.
Nadel, the 77-year-old founder of Scoop Management Inc. in Sarasota, Florida, pleaded guilty in February to a 15-count indictment filed by U.S. prosecutors in New York. The charges included securities fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud.
"This was a massive fraud perpetrated on vulnerable victims who rightly deserve the protection of the law," U.S. District Judge John Koeltl said before imposing the sentence.
Koeltl rejected a defense request for a five-year sentence as too low. He cited Nadel's age and fragile health in sentencing him to less than the 19 1/2 years sought by prosecutors.
In addition to the prison sentence, Koeltl imposed three years of supervised release and ordered Nadel to forfeit $162 million in proceeds from the crime. Koeltl said he will determine later how much to order Nadel to pay in restitution to his victims.
Nadel said yesterday he has spent his time in jail thinking about the harm he caused his victims and read the letters they sent to the court.
The case is U.S. v. Nadel, 1:09-cr-00433, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Mattel Loses Bid for Review of Bratz Case Ruling
Mattel Inc. lost a bid for review of a federal appeals court ruling that the company must retry its claims to MGA Entertainment Inc.'s Bratz dolls.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco denied Mattel's petition for rehearing and review by a larger panel of judges, according to a filing yesterday.
In July, a three-member appeals panel overturned a December 2008 order that gave Mattel rights to most of MGA's Bratz products. A jury in the case found that the designer who created the dolls was working at Mattel when he conceived of the idea and the name and made the initial drawings for the pouty and multiethnic dolls.
The case is MGA Entertainment Inc. v. Mattel Inc., 09-55673, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (San Francisco). The district court case is Bryant v. Mattel, 04-09049, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Riverside).
Hewlett-Packard Says EU Court Ruling May Stop Levies
Hewlett-Packard Co. and other office electronics companies said levies on printers and fax machines to compensate copyright holders for copying may be ended across the European Union after a court judgment on Spanish rules.
Spain's "indiscriminate application of the private copying levy" is illegal and shouldn't be applied to digital equipment used by businesses, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg said yesterday.
Irena Bednarich, HP's European government affairs manager, said the judgment would lead to the removal of levies paid in Spain and other nations on office devices, allowing products to "freely circulate in the European Union."
Hewlett-Packard, Canon Inc. and Seiko Epson Corp. are among printer makers that have criticized national levies, saying they distort the price of their products across the 27-nation EU. The court yesterday set limits on the levies, intended to compensate artists and composers for legal extra copies of their work made by private users. It said charges on equipment used by private individuals to make copies are in line with EU rules.
"What is very positive is that the court clearly gave support to the compensation schemes that exist in most member states," said Veronique Desbrosses, secretary general of the European Grouping of Societies of Authors and Composers.
In yesterday's case, a Spanish maker of CDs and DVDs, challenged the national system by not paying. The disc maker was taken to court by Spain's Sociedad General de Autores y Editores, or SGAE, which manages authors' intellectual property rights.
The ruling "requires a radical adaptation of the old-fashioned copyright levies systems," said Bridget Cosgrave, director general of Digital Europe, a Brussels-based electronics industry group.
Spain's Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde told the state-owned television channel that the country would now "seek an alternative" along "with other European countries that will be affected."
The case is C-467/08 Sociedad General de Autores y Editores de Espana (SGAE) v. Padawan, S.L. and Entidad de Gestion de Derechos de los Productores Audiovisuales (EGEDA).

Objective: Breastfeeding rates are below the Healthy People 2010 goals despite recognized benefits of breastfeeding. This study determined factors that predict breastfeeding initiation among low-income pregnant women. Methods: A self-administered closed-ended questionnaire was introduced to 694 pregnant women who were certified for WIC in Mississippi. The questionnaire collected data about demographics, breastfeeding intention, breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and three recognized barriers to breastfeeding: embarrassment, time and social constraints, and lack of social support. Results: In bivariate analysis, women who intended to breastfeed were more often white and had at least some college education, higher income, a smaller family size, fewer children, and previous breastfeeding experience than women who did not intend to breastfeed. Intenders had higher levels of breastfeeding knowledge and self-efficacy and reported fewer barriers to breastfeeding than nonintenders. In multivariate logistic regression, fewer children, past breastfeeding experience, breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceived social support were independent predictors of breastfeeding intention. Conclusions: Women at high risk for not wanting to breastfeed can be identified for additional support. Interventions should focus on improving breastfeeding knowledge, enhancing confidence in one's ability to breastfeed, and overcoming barriers to breastfeeding, especially lack of social support, among low-income women.

Thank-you for all your input, we took your advice and used a heavier shot. My daughter used a Winchester 243 95gr. Ballistic Silvertip cartridge, she shot two whitetails this year at 110 yards. I was surprised the exit wound was 1½" in diameter. Also willhunt4food is correct with the statement "The main thing is to make sure your daughter has fired it enough to be comfortable and accurate." Last year at NRA camp she took first in group and seconded in overall out of 95 kids. She was 11 at that time.

I have been a professional health care provider for more than 25 years and have never encountered a physician that was so rude, uncaring, and unprofessional. His compassion does not even warrant a rating, unless negative numbers are used. I cannot believe people would ever go to him.
Bad. Manners ge was very mouthy an rude filed a complaint with ins never returning there
Sometimes you have to wait.. Because he gives his all to his patients. Best doc in the world...
I read the previous reviews and was very concerned it is the first time my son has been to see Dr Potocki. If he knows what he is doing then I don't care how rude he is .Dr Potocki spent 30 minutes talking to us. I feel confident he is a good doctor.he talked to us like adults he asked a lot of questions he let my son explain what was going on and he listened
This place is ridiculous. The staff are rude and the doctor is a miserable old toad with a bad attitude. He does not take appointments, only walk-ins, which for some people might be convenient if you don't mind waiting 6 hours to be seen. The doctor is never in the office at the same time every day, he comes in when he feels like rolling out of bed and slapping on his suspenders. I have seen people walk in, sign in, and then immediately leave because they know they will be waiting awhile. I went to him for a swollen knee and he told me that my leg was like that because I was fat. I only weigh 170 lbs, and he spoke to me as if I were the next fattest mom in America! But there is a bright side to this office, I GUESS ->They have happy annoying birds in the office that screech at you if you can endure the waiting room for that long only to be insulted by the doctor.
I came to this office for a physical exam for employment. The office staff were rude and uncaring about the patients who, like myself, were sitting in the doctor's office from 11:40am until 4:00pm (At each time I felt like leaving, I told myself, "It can't be much longer now....right?") and STILL wasn't seen by this man. He does not take appointments nor does he come in at a consistent time from what I heard from previous patients. Seriously, save your time, energy and stamina for an office who *IS* there for the purpose of helping people in need! I was just thankful I didn't need him for something serious because it wouldn't have mattered anyways! DON'T GO HERE!!!

2008-09 Team Preview: Pittsburgh Penguins
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
By Pierre LeBrunThe Stanley Cup finalist Pittsburgh Penguins had a productive offseason, locking up their core when Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury and Brooks Orpik were the latest to join Sidney Crosby and Ryan Whitney in committing to the team long term.
But there were also significant losses, most notably star winger Marian Hossa, gritty scorer Ryan Malone and veteran agitator Jarkko Ruutu.
"It's tough to see guys go," Crosby told ESPN.com. "That's the reality. You go through it with those guys and you share the experiences. You're that close [to a Cup] and you all share the pain. You'd be lying if you didn't say you felt close to those guys. That's just the way it ends up.
"But we know change is just the way the NHL is now, and it's going to be constantly like that. We have a great core group."
There were further setbacks with the injury losses of Whitney and Sergei Gonchar before the puck was even dropped for the 2008-09 season. That's a tough way to start the season.

• Vote: Your take on Atlantic?
Penguins GM Ray Shero tried to mitigate the losses up front by reeling in veteran free-agent wingers Ruslan Fedotenko and Miroslav Satan to modest deals. They came cheap and came hungry to play alongside star centers Crosby and Malkin. It doesn't quite replace the firepower of Hossa and Malone, but keep in mind Crosby and Malkin continue to get better. A scary thought. An ankle injury prevented Crosby from another NHL scoring title, and you can bet he's eyeing a return to the top of the NHL's scoring perch.
And let's not forget Jordan Staal. The 20-year-old power forward is entering the final year of his entry-level contract. He was used primarily as the team's No. 3 center last season, in a checking role; but with the departure of Malone, coach Michel Therrien likely will use Staal in a top-six forward role on the wing. That could mean a bigger offensive year for Staal, who dipped from 29 goals in his rookie year to 12 in 2007-08. Still, overall, this group lost a bit of depth.
At first, it appeared the Penguins were rich on the blue line. Then they lost their best two defensemen. Whitney is gone until December as he recovers from foot surgery, while Gonchar needs surgery and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a dislocated left shoulder suffered in his first preseason game. Those are huge blows to the power play and puck-moving/transition game. Orpik, Rob Scuderi, Hal Gill, Darryl Sydor, Kris Letang, Mark Eaton and AHL standout Alex Goligoski form the rest of the blue-line group. The Penguins hope the 21-year-old Letang is ready to take bigger strides. But starting the season with $9 million sitting on injured reserve is a serious blow.
Marc-Andre Fleury entered last season as a question mark for many around the league. The 2003 first overall draft pick had yet to consistently prove he warranted such a lofty selection. Well, he answered his critics. After missing two months with an ankle injury, the 23-year-old raised his game to new heights, putting up career bests with a 2.33 GAA and .921 save percentage. He was even stingier in the playoffs, winning 14 games, while posting a 1.97 GAA and .933 save percentage. He signaled his arrival as one of the game's elite netminders and a candidate for one of the three jobs on Team Canada for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. We see no reason for him to regress this season.
Pierre LeBrun covers the NHL for ESPN.com.
By Jay FeasterThe biggest improvement in Pittsburgh is the hunger of wanting more after advancing to the Stanley Cup finals only to fall short versus Detroit. At the same time, the greatest curse in Pittsburgh has been advancing to the finals. While the playoff experience gained and the desire to do it again are tremendous, winning also creates its own set of problems.
Entry-level deals become second contracts, and franchise players now cost a small fortune to retain. Some players don't feel loved and bolt for bigger paydays elsewhere. Some players let their agents do all the talking and leave for basically the same offer you made to keep them in the fold. Keeping a "special" team intact is virtually impossible.
Injuries are also conspiring to make things tougher on the Pens. The loss of Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney on the blue line is tough. At the same time, Pittsburgh has lost not only firepower up front, but also veteran leadership. Some media folks write about Gary Roberts' presence last season in almost messianic terms, saying that Penguins players always asked: "WWGRD" (What Would Gary Roberts Do?). Ruslan Fedotenko and Miroslav Satan need to elevate their offensive games and should, playing with elite centers.
Jay Feaster served as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning from the 2001-02 season until resigning last season. He is a contributor to ESPN.com.

• Division: First in the Atlantic
• Conference: Second in the East
• Playoffs: Ousted in Cup finals vs. DET
• The Penguins play seven of eight on the road Feb. 21-March 8, in and around the March 3 trade deadline. They play nine of their final 13 at home, so surviving that tough stretch would leave them in good shape.
Experience: 6 years
Record: 185-157-30-19
Playoffs: 21-16
Stanley Cup titles: 0
• After two years of constant speculation about his job security, Michel Therrien put those questions to rest with a big season that got him a new contract. His biggest achievement came in slowly but surely, convincing his young and talented team to commit to the defensive side of the game. It worked. The Penguins allowed the third-fewest goals in the Eastern Conference and were even stingier in the playoffs. The fiery Therrien can be quite hard on his players at times, something not all players react well to. But he mostly pressed the right buttons last season. His biggest challenge this season is to avoid the Cup hangover past finalists have felt.
STARTING FIVE ... AS WE SEE ITF -- Pascal Dupuis/Ruslan Fedotenko
• Both of these guys got a look on the first line during preseason. Fedotenko has more offensive skill, but Dupuis is reliable defensively.
F -- Sidney Crosby
• Entering his fourth season with the Pens. A healthy Crosby means a second Art Ross Trophy.
F -- Miroslav Satan
• Arrived from Islanders via free agency. Had his worst offensive season in 11 years. That won't happen with this team.
D -- Darryl Sydor
• Entering second season with Pens. Played only four playoff games during last spring's run to the finals. Now, he's needed again with the injuries to Gonchar and Whitney.
D -- Brooks Orpik
• Entering sixth season with Pens. Mr. Sandpaper on a team full of skill.
Answer: "In a way, you see that happen time and time again -- you see teams lose and then come back and win," said Crosby. "That's easy to say. I know we were always getting the comparisons to Edmonton [of the early 1980s]. We were a young team like they were. But I don't think that scenario was really close to us. In our case, we left it all out there. We worked hard and a lot of guys paid the price. We just didn't win. If anything, maybe we gave them a little too much respect in the first couple of games and got caught watching a little bit. I think the whole thing you take out of that is just the experience. What you see in Detroit -- their experience and how calm they were. That's just stuff you take with you."
Bust: Ryan Whitney, D: He's out until at least November, possibly quite longer, recovering from foot surgery. Besides, Whitney fell into Michel Therrien's doghouse with his down year and he'll have to play his way out of it.
Outlook: It all starts with studs Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, players who can carry a team on their shoulders individually when needed. Case in point: When Crosby went down, Malkin didn't skip a beat, keeping this team on track to the finals. With Crosby healthy, now the Penguins can deploy two star-studded lines; potential wing men Ruslan Fedotenko, Miroslav Satan, Petr Sykora and Jordan Staal will be thrilled to hear that. -- Tristan H. Cockcroft

I am redesigning an older site and bringing it into wordpress. The original content is heavy on sub-menus and sub-sub menus.
This is a redir. link from a test site to the dev site.
To break-out the menus I have attempted to modify the css code for the ul and li unsuccessfully to provide separator lines (border top and / or border bottom)? (i think i'm only average skill with this)
In IE and Safari its inconsistent. I think its working fine in F-Fox.
Is there something I'm doing wrong with this or is it a characteristic of the css edits in those browsers.
Is there another option to consider? Would a horizonal dropdown with vertical sub-menus be a better option?
Thank you for any help or direction to a resource - its greatly appreciated. jimii

Military Construction (MILCON) Transformation
What is it?
The MILCON Transformation is the project delivery process the Army is using to provide quality, adaptable, and sustainable facilities in less time and at lower cost. Key to this effort is the standardization of processes and facilities as well as the adoption of private sector best practices. The Army is moving away from overly prescriptive requirements to performance-based criteria as well as moving from design-build acquisition to site-adapt facilities. Site adaptation is scheduled to begin for Army standard facilities in FY09. Under MILCON Transformation:
What has the Army done?
The MILCON Transformation principles were applied on a limited basis starting in FY06. In FY07, these principles were applied to much of the $7 Billion of construction for the Army. One result of these efforts is the successful progress in construction of Brigade Combat Team facilities. Using these principles, the Army is on track to complete these key facilities within 18-24 months. The Grow the Army (GTA) projects in the FY08 program totaled $1.7 Billion. These facilities, being standard in nature, are all being built using the transformation model request for proposal and design-build project delivery. About half of the projects authorized in the presidential budget of $1.5 Billion were standard and executed using the same principles and delivery methods as the GTA authorized projects.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army will establish remaining COS acquisition tools required to support transforming MILCON execution processes and ensure the timely execution of contracts to build standard facilities. These tools will be regional in scope for individual facility product lines. Additionally, the Army will increase the delivery of facilities through implementation of adapt-build (A-B) processes to allow MILCON Transformation to move into the product line repetitive facility construction phase. These A-B models will represent the "consolidated hybrid" that combines the Army's functional needs with the best and most efficient industry innovation received during the design build process in FY06-08. Finally, to improve the understanding and acceptance of the new process, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will partner with the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management and Installation Management Command to sponsor training sessions at Army installations throughout FY09.
Why is this important to the Army?
The MILCON Transformation will ensure Soldiers and their Families have the facilities and infrastructure commensurate with their service.

I have a new MY Passport hard drive 1 TB, Model:
I checked the properties of the hard drive when I first plugged it in, the used space was 320 MB, though the total size of the data was 191 MB which is the software that comes with it (of course I show all hidden files and hidden operating system files).
I done a quick format to the drive, but the space is still used (129 MB). I copied some (2.69 GB) of data on the drive and then deleted them, the used space even increased to be (168 MB). I've done quick format on the drive again, the used space returned to be (129 MB), I then copied the same data (size: 2.69 GB, used space: 2.93 GB) then removed it, the used space increased again to be (168 MB). I then copied data to the drive with size 19.6 GB, the used space became 20.2 GB.
I deleted all of that data to make the drive empty again, the used space increased further to be about 300 MB. It seems that the more I add data the more I lose space, Weird? Can any one tell why this could be happening?

Advancements in science have transformed medicine from 100 years ago. So why do we expect schools to stay confined to a 19th-century model where rote learning was cutting-edge, asks Greg Whitby.
- The Australian
There has been a cold war raging for many decades between educational progressives and traditionalists. With each change of government it seems the ideologies of the day are kicked to the kerb and everything old becomes new again. The conservatives push for a more academic curriculum, direct instruction and a back-to-basics approach to improve Australia's rankings in international tests, while the progressives espouse child-centred, experiential learning, facilitated teaching and the like.
The truth is, neither approach has led to significant improvement in Australia's performance across the past few generations. And we are not alone. The ideological nature of educational debate in the US has been blamed for the persistent failure of its educational reform, and in limiting teachers' ability to solve the problems they are seeking to address.
Harvard professor Richard Elmore thinks it is unlikely Australia will join the world's high-performing economies of the future with a 19th-century model of teaching.
Australia has spent the past 30 to 40 years trying to perfect an industrial model of schooling that is no longer relevant, desirable or effective in improving student performance.
In contrast, the highest performing school systems, such as those in South Korea and Singapore, have transformed their educational models within a few generations. The common approach is the investment in the teaching profession and the use of robust evidence applied to learning and teaching within a relevant curriculum.
The OECD has recognised that many school systems are not teaching in a way to develop the "deep knowledge" required for knowledge work. Didactic approaches to learning, and even more contemporary learning approaches delivered within the existing model of schooling, are inadequate for preparing our children as knowledge workers.
Knowledge workers will not only require a deep conceptual and subject knowledge, they will need to learn how to think critically and creatively, how to collaborate and innovate, and learn how to learn and relearn. These capabilities must also be fostered and developed within the teaching profession.
Everyone from former US president Bill Clinton to rap star Snoop Dogg is calling for greater focus on computer science in schools. Every industry is being shaped and transformed by technological advancements; in the US, there is an annual standing demand for 120,000 computer scientists. There is a shortage of engineers, mathematicians and scientists required to sustain and develop technological solutions for the challenges the world faces, such as climate change.
Albert Einstein said imagination was more important than knowledge because knowledge tells us what is and imagination tells us what could be. It won't be enough to return to the good old days or to tinker around the edges applying new teaching styles within old structures of schooling. We need to develop a system that nurtures innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs, problem solvers and thought leaders. And we need to do it on a huge scale if we are to prepare for the future.
FULL STORY Kicked to the kerb again

Deaddeer by IsisMasshiroWatch
Inspiration came from this picture (warning, it contains a dead reindeer): slightlywarped.com/crapfactory…
In Australia after a drought, so persistent that one little girl was surprised when it finally rained ! She had never seen or heard of rain !
A herd of cows still stood, tho decayed and mummified, near a road.
Hideous it may be, but at this rate, it'll soon become immobile. Nothing can decay forever.
Flaming Carrot once fought a zombie dog that flew around and hit people, terrorizing the neighborhood. He got info from Crowbone, that it was losing small bits of itself . using his Nose device, he was able to track the monster to its lair and smash it apart ! It was no longer in any condition to attack people, but the small bits kept flying around. He bottled them all and sent the bits to the Smithsonian !
Love this minimalistic style. I love the idea of the crows feasting on zombie flesh. Will they succumb or are they immune? And I'm okay with dead things, seeing as that I was a taxidermist.
Same here, even I'm not a taxidermist.
Wouldn't that result i a murder of crows a la Resident Evil: Extinction

I frequently have to do this. For example:

$ vim /etc/pam.d/sudo-i
$ cd /etc/pam.d/ # Figure I should just go to the directory
Now, is there a way I could obtain the directory of the last argument when it's a file path? What I'm hoping for is something like this:
$ vim /etc/pam.d/sudo
$ vim /etc/pam.d/sudo-i
$ cd $dir # <-- something that returns /etc/pam.d in this case
I'm asking this cause I recently became aware of the
$_ variable that has become useful. Was wondering if there's some other commandline fu that might come in handy.
