If there's one thing that marketing departments in tech companies around the world are unbelievably good at, it's taking the newest and hottest technology terms and diluting them to the point that it's nearly impossible to really know what anyone is talking about anymore. Storage virtualization provides a supreme example.
These days, storage virtualization can refer to a huge swath of products and technologies, from the simplest file systems all the way up to cutting-edge storage abstraction layers that are capable of managing petabytes of heterogeneous storage spread across the world under a single coherent management framework.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Matt Prigge highlights even more useful innovations awaiting in the field of storage | Doing storage virtualization right is not so simple. InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to get it right in this "Storage Virtualization Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
Like all forms of virtualization, storage virtualization is all about abstraction. By inserting a layer of abstraction between the storage consumer and the physical storage, you can perform a wide range of storage tricks. Taking consistent snapshots, replicating data to a redundant data center, transparently migrating data from one SAN to another, transparent backup, and zero-downtime storage failover are all examples of the incredibly handy features made possible by various kinds of storage virtualization.
Before you event think about selecting a variety storage virtualization to try and solve a problem, you need a crash course in what differentiates the various flavors.
Your basic definition of storage virtualization
In the most technical sense of the term, anything that abstracts the physical storage from the operating system that addresses it could be considered a form of storage virtualization. A simple example can be found in the file system that your hard disk is formatted with. When you open any file on your computer, it performs a lookup in your file system's file allocation table that resolves to the logical blocks on your hard drive that make up the file. That table is essentially a database containing the necessary metadata to link a given file name that you might recognize to the actual location of the files on the physical media that the hardware will recognize.
That may seem like a simplistic place to start when talking about such a complex topic, but that same model plays out no matter what level of storage virtualization you may be talking about. It's just an issue of scope and complexity.

Army to expand citizen soldiers' training periods
The end of fighting in Iraq and the drawdown in Afghanistan will not mean a return to a peacetime schedule of drilling one weekend a month and two weeks a year for the 550,000 citizen soldiers of the Army's National Guard and Reserve, according to the Army's top general.
Instead, they will keep preparing for war, with training periods away from home each year that would grow from a two-week block to up to seven weeks, Gen. Ray Odierno, Army chief of staff said in an interview Monday with USA TODAY. Drilling one weekend a month would continue.
"As they go through it, their readiness will increase, the number of days training will increase," Odierno said.
Army Maj. Michael Moricas, a member of the Rhode Island National Guard who served in Afghanistan, predicted there might be push-back from employers eager for the previous minimalist approach. And he anticipated mixed reviews from soldiers. "You might have some guys who will be OK with that and some people who will part ways," Moricas said.
The change, which will take effect next year, is a far less demanding schedule than what's occurred after 9/11 when Guardsmen and reservists suddenly left jobs and families for a year or more, preceded at times with four- to six-month periods of training, the general said. But it will be more than the traditional peacetime commitment of drilling one weekend a month and two weeks a year.
"What it will mean for the families is that when they do have extra training, it will be very predictable and they should know very far in advance when it's going to happen," Odierno said. "That's key as we work with employers."
Select National Guard or Reserve units would be part of a five-year cycle of training, available for deployment the last year of that period probably for no more than 30 to 45 days, he said.
In the past decade, National Guard and Reserve soldiers were mobilized at record levels. During 2005, the full-time Army was bolstered by more than 100,000 National Guard soldiers.
Odierno said that National Guard members and reservists acquired combat skills the Army sorely needs now as it tries to save money by reducing its ranks of full-time soldiers from 570,000 to 490,000 by 2017, and cuts the number of combat brigades from 45 to 32.
"How do we sustain the readiness and experience that we've gained in the National Guard and Reserve component?" Odierno asked. "That's what we've been working on."
Current commitments to Afghanistan could mean a year of deployment for National Guard and Reserve troops will continue until the U.S. withdrawal of forces there concludes in 2014.
Joyce Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association, said the wars went on for so long, that fewer people remember the peacetime schedule. But she cautioned about adhering to the promised limitations on training.
"If families can plan during peacetime, they'll by OK," she said. "If the Army puts out the schedule and then doesn't stick to it, all bets are off."

Rankine steadied himself against the rail, with his glasses at his eyes.
It is not enough to select his Epistle to Rankine, and speak of its unbecoming levity.
She had already connected it with Rankine and the sinking of the merchant ships.
"I hear you're cruising about the Galloway coast," Rankine said to Andrew.
Professor Rankine and Mr. Lazlett experimented principally upon foreign woods.
Then we must try to find Rankine and tell him what we suspect.
The lieutenant went out, and Rankine, lying back on the locker, lighted his pipe.
He hoped Rankine knew their position as he followed the steamer's light.
At times the steamer's stern light almost faded out, but it grew brighter again, and Andrew knew that Rankine was waiting for him.
He tasted the wine Rankine poured out and lighted a cigarette.

Charlotte, N.C. • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to work overtime to keep their playoff surge alive.
Josh Freeman threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark in overtime to cap the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-21 comeback win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
It was Freeman's third touchdown pass of the game for the Buccaneers (6-4), who have now won five of their last six games.
Carolina appeared to have the game in hand after a 29-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to Brandon LaFell put the Panthers (2-8) up 21-10 with six minutes left in the game. But after a 40-yard field goal by Connor Barth, the Panthers' offense couldn't put the game away and had to punt.
Freeman led the Bucs 80 yards on seven plays in 50 seconds, despite not having any timeouts.
He finished the drive with a perfectly thrown 24-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson between three defenders with 12 seconds left. Freeman went back to Jackson for a 2-point conversion on a slant route to tie the game and send it into overtime.
In overtime, the Bucs moved quickly down the field and Freeman found an open Clark along the left sideline for the game-winner.
Newton finished with 252 yards passing and a touchdown and Jonathan Stewart ran for 43 yards and a score for the Panthers, who failed to avenge a 16-10 loss to the Bucs in the season opener.
Of Carolina's last six losses, they've led in the fourth quarter in five of them.
The Bucs came in as one of the hottest teams in the league having scored an average of 35.6 points per game during the past five games.
But after scoring a quick 10 points, the Panthers defense shut them down for most of the remainder of the three quarters forcing three turnovers, including a 74-yard interception return for a touchdown by Captain Munnerlyn and a key fumble by rookie Doug Martin on a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line.
Trailing 14-10, the Bucs appeared ready to take the lead after driving 15 plays to the Carolina 1.
But on fourth down, Bucs coach Greg Schiano went for the touchdown instead of the field goal and linebacker Thomas Davis plowed into Martin, forcing the ball out near the goal line. Fellow linebacker Luke Kuechly, the team's first-round draft pick, recovered in the end zone for a touchback.
Officials reviewed the play to see if Martin got in, but the call stood.
The Panthers immediately cashed in on the change of momentum as Newton led the Panthers 80 yards on seven plays, converting two key third downs along the way. He capped the drive with a 29-yard scoring strike to a wide-open LaFell on a crossing route to make it a two-possession game at 21-10.
The Bucs would cut the lead to 21-13 Barth's field goal with 4:03 left in the game.
Tampa Bay would get one last shot and Freeman made the most of it. The Bucs got a big 15-yard penalty when officials ruled Davis hit a defenseless receiver in the head. But the big play was Carolina's inability to defend Jackson on the TD pass down the middle.
Things didn't start well for the Panthers on Sunday.
Less than a week after firing special teams coordinator Brian Murphy, Munnerlyn, who doubles as the team's punt returner, was hit by Jacob Cutrera and fumbled at the Panthers 29. Dekoda Watson recovered for the Bucs and six plays later, Freeman, found tight end Nate Byham in the back of the end zone for a touchdown and early 7-0 lead early midway through the first quarter.
The Bucs added to that lead later in the first quarter on Barth's 51-yard field goal.
And when Carolina's two leading sack artists, Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy, collided in the backfield and remained on the ground for more than minute while being attended to by trainers, it seemed this game might be ready to spiral out of control.
The game changed suddenly and unexpectedly a few plays later.
With two rookie defensive ends in the game, the Panthers got pressure on Freeman up the middle and he threw a weak ball toward the flat. That's where Munnerlyn made up for his earlier mistake by returning the ball 74 yards for a touchdown.
The Panthers came up with a defensive stop on their next possession and Newton drove Carolina 77 yards on eight plays with Jonathan Stewart scoring on a 1-yard touchdown plunge to give the Panthers a 14-10 lead.

Arcadia, CA, Feb. 22 -- With the action heating up on the Triple Crown trail, HRTV (R) will be on-track at two key sites this weekend -- Gulfstream Park and the Fair Grounds -- for a pair of key Derby preps, as well as other stakes races.
Laffit Pincay, Jeff Siegel, and Caton Bredar will be in South Florida for a jam-packed two days of stakes racing, topped by the Grade 2, $400,000 Fountain of Youth, for 3-year-olds on Sunday, while the network's Peter Lurie will be stationed at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans reporting on a busy Saturday of action, topped by the Grade 2, $300,000 Risen Star for 3-year-olds (which has drawn a field of 11).
The Fountain of Youth annually serves as a major Derby steppingstone, and is expected to feature two prominent Derby hopefuls -- Union Rags and Algorithms. A day earlier, the Grade 2, $250,000 Davona Dale for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles, heads another stellar card which includes two $100,000 events -- the Sabin and The Very One. Pincay, Siegel, and Bredar will offer in-depth race analysis, as well as late-breaking news and interviews, from trackside throughout the busy weekend.
There's no shortage of stakes racing on the Risen Star undercard. Three more graded stakes events are slated, including the $200,00 Rachel Alexandra, $125,000 Fair Grounds Handicap, and the $125,000 Mineshaft Handicap.

Greater New Orleans Flood Risk Update
Building on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) achievements in flood risk reduction made through the construction and rehabilitation of the Hurricane And Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS), FEMA in cooperation with the USACE has determined the flood risk in and around the HSDRRS improvements. This analysis was used to update current preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps in the vicinity of the levee system.
With updated maps, communities in the Greater New Orleans area –Orleans, St. Bernard, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Charles parishes will have more precise information about the flood risk in their vicinity and will be better able to make more informed decisions to reduce their personal risk to life and property.
FEMA is sharing information about the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps with the communities through a series of Public Open Houses and Stakeholder Workshops.

Macrobotanical Research at St. Catherine's Island
Principal Investigator: Donna Ruhl
The St. Catherines Island archaeobotanical collection is among one of the largest well preserved plant collections for Spanish colonial remains in the Americas. In addition, its waterlogged component holds potential for ancient DNA research for a number of plant species. Ruhl is involved in two ongoing archaeobotanical projects at St. Catherines Island. The first is an assessment of best practice in archaeobotanical recovery methods (2008 and ongoing). Her second project, also ongoing, is identification and analysis of the carefully collected archaeobotanical remains from the St. Catherines Shell Ring site. In an earlier study of St. Catherines Island mission site macrobotany Ruhl documented the marked differences in the Georgia Bight plant landscape resulting from Old World-introduced domesticates and land-use practices.

My current ecclesiastical leader lives next door. He was just "Geoff" until about a year ago when he became "Bishop Short."
Having a bishop next door isn't a problem for me. Most of the interviews are conducted through a fence. They're spirited if not exactly spiritual.
ME: "Hey, bishop! Make your damn dogs shut up!"
HIM: "Robert, you promised me that you would watch your language."
ME: "The hell I did."
Bishop Short and I are content with our unconventional ecclesiastical relationship. I have no idea why he is, but know why I am. He's a guy.
Despite the power of discernment church leaders are supposed to have, I can successfully lie to another guy 70 percent of the time. That's because I know how a guy including a church one thinks.
Conversely, I have no idea how or even what a woman thinks. And this despite a lifetime of soul-punishing experience.
I didn't use to worry about this because Mormon women don't have the priesthood. And you have to have that in order to be an LDS bishop. There's an ordination ceiling in our church and rightly so, according to me.
But what if things changed and your LDS bishop suddenly became a woman? I don't mean he had an operation. I mean he was a real woman.
All right, SHE was a real woman. Whatever.
Suppose you showed up in church tomorrow and there was a woman sitting where the bishop (a man) normally sits? Worse, there were two obviously XX chromosome types where the counselors usually sit.
Pretty scary, huh? It is for me. Of all the church stuff I fret about going to hell, mission calls, rivers of blood, high council talks, etc. any idea of women getting the priesthood tops the list.
It's more of a possibility than it used to be. Mormon women are once again campaigning to be ordained. You can check the latest attempt at Ordain Women http://ordainwomen.org/, a website devoted to driving me out of the church.
Ordain Women is just the latest in a series of power sharing maneuvers pants (in church), prayer (in conference), and now priesthood (in credibly).
I'm not saying women can't be bishops. They're certainly the equal of men when it comes to spirituality, dedication, love, service and other feely stuff necessary to be a church leader. They could be bishops. I just don't want one being MY bishop.
For one thing, there isn't a woman in my ward who believes a single thing I say. When it comes to that they're worse than my wife, daughters, and granddaughters.
And women all have feelings. I don't. I couldn't deal with a bishop who started crying in the middle of an interview.
And what about those bishop interviews? I'm not confessing to a woman bishop that I routinely use impure thoughts to get through a meeting. What if she wanted details or even a list?
Having the bishop right next door took some getting used to. However, I'm not sure I would ever get used to the bishop being Geoff's wife rather than Geoff.
Primary President Karly Short. Relief Society President Karly Short. Ward Chorister Karly Short. All of those make sense. Bishop Karly Short? That's just too weird. It rings false worse even than "Bishop Robert Kirby."
Robert Kirby can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or facebook.com/stillnotpatbagley.

AUDIO: John Adams marks 40 years of keeping the beat for Tribe fans
(Cleveland) – He doesn't wear a uniform, but his name is forever linked to the Cleveland Indians.
John Adams has been beating his drum at Indians games for 40 years. His 3,211 games at Municipal Stadium and Progressive Field began August 24, 1973.
Adams will be honored with a home plate ceremony at Saturday's game for reaching 40 years of keeping the beat.
The Indians have recognized Adams before, including his own bobblehead doll in 2006, and in ceremonies for his 30th anniversary in 2003 and his 3,000th game in 2011.
The bass drum that Adams uses today is the same one he brought to the stadium in 1973. Adams is a drummer, but didn't want to use his good bass. So he bought a full drum kit for $25 and used that bass drum.
The drum been repaired numerous times, but the skin on the bottom (that does not get struck) is original!

Adams was in-studio with Wills and Snyder Friday and talked about his love of the Tribe.

Defending Israels borders from climate refugees´ (JERUSALEM POST) By SHARON UDASIN 05/15/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=269948
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
In order to combat increased waves of illegal migration that will likely accompany climate change, Israel must secure its borders through impassable barriers, including sea fences along the Mediterranean and Red Sea, experts have concluded.
The lack of water, warming and sea level rise, even if it will occur on a different schedule, will bring migration movements from all impoverished regions to every place where it is possible to escape this, wrote a team of academics, led by Prof. Arnon Soffer and Dr. Anton Berkovsky of the University of Haifas Geography Department.
The teams conclusions appeared in just one geo-strategy chapter in a nearly 200-page report of recommendations toward adapting to climate change, submitted collectively by about 100 experts at the Israel Climate Change Knowledge Center to Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan on Monday. Established in 2011 by the ministry, the Israel Climate Change Knowledge Center aims to gather scientific knowledge on seven different issues: regional climatic forecasting, impacts of climate change on the water sector, urban planning and building, public health, biodiversity, economy and regional geo- strategic issues, according to the ministry.
After receiving analysis by expert teams, who had already submitted a preliminary report in December, the ministry would then intend to incorporate the information into its policy documents, in order to formulate a national plan toward adapting to climate change.
Among its suggestions for how to handle the geo-strategic implications of climate change, the team led by Soffer called for a complete enclosure of Israel from all directions, including establishing sea fences along the Mediterranean and Red seas. In addition, the experts said that additional law enforcement will be required to deal with the ramifications of securing the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, as economic crisis might ensue for Negev Beduins who trade across these turfs. While securing Israel from all sides, however, the authorities must ensure for the safe passage of animals and plants.
The migration wave is not a problem for the future. It is today, it is going on now, Soffer told The Jerusalem Post on Monday evening. It will just increase from day to day.
Soffer explained that the most troublesome spot in terms of migration to Israel is the Nile basin area, where a mixture of drastic climate changes and demographic explosions are pushing people to move northward. Meanwhile, they recognize that Europe is completely under siege by the navies, so they cannot move in that direction.
In India they shoot, in Nepal they shoot, in Japan they shoot, Soffer said, noting that in Israel, the refugees know they can find welcome.
Due to climate change, between the 1970s and the 1990s alone, the Nile basin fell from 84 billion cubic meters to 51 billion cubic meters, and while its waters returned to normalcy for the decade that followed, since 2000 catastrophe has ensued, according to Soffer.
Likewise, in the past decade, about 800 lakes have dried up completely in Africa, including Chads largest one a phenomenon that has led to terrible tragedies," he explained.
Millions perished along the Sahel, he said, referring to a semiarid zone that stretches from Senegal to Eritrea, bordered by the Sahara on the north and a savannah on the south.
Its the deterioration of Africa, he added.
Also attempting to penetrate Israels borders due to intense climate change will be Jordanians, Palestinians and perhaps some Syrians, according to Soffer.
I can see how the desert will penetrate slowly to Kiryat Gat, Gaza and Hebron everywhere, he said. If you accept what the scientists are saying then there will be no question that people will be forced to leave the Negev.
Within Israel proper, many Beduin communities have moved en masse out of the Negev and to the countrys center, a shift that many people along Israels borders might also replicate as their climates become unbearable, Soffer explained.
Why are they are coming to the North? Either because of population explosion or because of water loss, he said. This is a microcosm of what is going on between the border of the Mediterranean climate and the semiarid zone.
In Syria, there is a direct correlation between the areas where the rebellions began and places were there is shortage of water, Soffer added.
I am one that fights for building fences all around Israeli borders, he said. We are an island we dont belong to this region, and we have to defend Israel from waves of migration from Egypt from Jordan and maybe from Syria. If we want to keep Israel a Jewish State, we will have to defend ourselves from what I call climate refugees, exactly as Europe is doing now.
As Israel continues to increase its desalinated water output, however, Soffer stressed the importance of providing the Palestinians and the Jordanians with sources of water, noting that maybe this will bring peace.
While the fences around Israel are necessary, according to Soffer, so too are corridors to allow the free passage of animals. Such passages, he said could be guarded by groups of soldiers for days at a time to allow the animals, such as snakes, to cross both ways.
Soffer said he was not worried about the global response to physically securing Israels borders, and stressed that Europe has been making entrance to immigrants extremely stringent for quite some time.
I have to satisfy the Israeli citizens, to be human as much as I can, he said. Whatever I do, we will not be as cruel as Europe. They have huge navies, they sink boats, they send them back.
The geo-strategy section looked at many other issues aside from securing Israels borders, such as strengthening the countrys defense system as well as its preparedness for dealing with fires, which will undoubtedly decrease with reduced rainfall. Cooperation between relevant ministries will be essential, in terms of, for example, maintaining agricultural land or preventing the spread of dehydration and contagious diseases. Energy explorations need to continue, as well as testing the possibility of building nuclear power plants, as well as all of the security measures that are necessary for all energy development, according to the chapter.
Meanwhile, the geo-strategic chapter also suggests increasing tunneling and the use of underground spaces, which could provide a solution to the expansion of human land exploitation. Israel also must make sure it is forming bilateral agreements on climate change with other nations, and it also should be exploring the potential benefits and not just the negatives of climate change, such as the creation of a sailing route through the Arctic Ocean.
Outside the geo-strategy chapter, other expert teams call for instituting a requirement that buildings meet green standards when their owners purchase insurance policies, as well as implanting an energy rating system for buildings during their sale.
Other teams called for the increased use of recycled gray water, while still others recommended preparing treatment regimens for victims of future cold and heat waves. Experts wrote of increased temperatures, decreased precipitation, southern desertification and extreme flooding.
Climate change is already here and requires comprehensive preparations, Erdan said, upon receiving the report. These changes have social, economic, security and ecological implications that require changes in behavioral patterns of individuals, industry and the state, in order to minimize the potential damage.
Naor Yerushalmi, CEO of the Life and Environment umbrella group for Israel´s green organizations, urged the government to adopt the report´s recommendations and create a comprehensive work plan as soon as possible. However, he warned that "seclusion behind fences cannot be a solution," and that it is instead important to forge partnerships with neighboring countries to handle crises.
"Early preparation can minimize expected damage, and even take advantage of opportunities that are created as a result, especially in the need for environmental technologies across the world," Yerushalmi said. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 05/15/12)

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
EVERETT — Chris Johnson's second go-around in the Northwest League is making all the difference.
The Edmonds native is back for his second stint with the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, and the right-handed pitcher has shown substantial progress from last season.
"I've had a pretty good start to the season," Johnson said. "It's always nice to get off to a good start and get some momentum going for the rest of the season."
Johnson, a 2009 graduate of Meadowdale High School, started Thursday's game against Everett and pitched better than his final numbers indicated. In five innings, he allowed four runs on nine hits. However, he walked none and struck out seven. He also didn't receive much help from a defense that committed four errors behind him. He left with a no-decision as Salem-Keizer wound up winning 8-5 in 12 innings.
"I think I threw pretty well," Johnson said. "The box score might not indicate it. I think I got a couple bad breaks, it seemed like a lot of ground balls found some holes. But just from a pitching perspective I threw the ball pretty well.
"Once I got to two strikes my slider was working a lot," Johnson added. "The first time through the lineup I threw a lot of first-pitch fastballs and a couple got hit pretty good. The second and third times through I made an adjustment, I threw a lot more offspeed pitches early in the count to get ahead, then tried to put them away with the slider."
Thursday's performance was par for the course for Johnson so far this season. In five starts he's 2-1 with a 2.17 ERA, having walked just three and struck out 25 in 29 innings. Thursday's start was the first time this season he didn't go six innings, and it was just the second time he was scored upon.
That's a major improvement from last season. Johnson joined the Volcanoes after being selected in the 17th round of the 2012 draft out of the University of Portland. He appeared in 16 games (six starts) with Salem-Keizer, going 2-4 with a 6.84 ERA. He walked 11 and struck out 47 in 482/3 innings.
"I struggled a lot at times last year, getting my bearings in professional ball," Johnson said. "This year I'm a lot more comfortable. I'm confident and know what to expect with pro ball and all the travel. It's been a great experience so far."
Johnson also credited work during extended spring training for the turnaround, as he tweaked his mechanics to improve his balance.
"I've made some pretty big changes," Johnson said. "Last year I had a lot of moving parts going a couple different ways. I think I've been a lot more fluid and driving the ball straight toward home plate, which has really helped my control and my command.
"It puts all my stuff on the same plane, makes it more deceptive, and I think it's made my slider break a little sharper," Johnson added. "I've gotten a lot more swings-and-misses on that."
And if he keeps it up, Johnson will be making his way up the ladder soon.

Unknown artist, Chinese
Dragon, 400-600 CE
Earthenware with traces of polychromy
31.5 x 33 x 15 cm (12 3/8 x 13 x 5 7/8 inches)
Museum Appropriation Fund 30.005
In China, mortuary ceramics were being made as early as the Han dynasty (206 BCE — 220 CE). This dragon was probably intended as a guardian figure to protect the deceased in his next life. It is difficult to date this exceptional piece. RISD's dragon has attributes related to tomb guardians excavated in northern China of the Northern and Southern Dynasties Period (386 — 589), but no example found thus far in an archaeological context is truly similar. Dragons were thought to dwell in the heavens and bring rain for a good harvest. They were benevolent and powerful symbols of fertility and, additionally, of the emperor. This menacing beast with raised head and mouth open, as if to strike, fulfills its protective role.

If you are going to use BT5, please, forget about windows. You need to read a little bit about linux...Here nothing is automatic. Nothig is taken for granted (drivers installed, network services started, etc).
First you need to know if the system is seeing the wifi cards...If not, you need to start the network services....
Open up a terminal, type: ifconfig
See if any device is available (eth0, eth1, wlan0, wlan1, etc..).
If no device, except "lo" (local) is available, type : /etc/init.d/wicd start (the interfaces are brought up, start discovering dhcp server, etc)..
Then check again if interfaces are available: ifconfig
Try this first....
And please, this is not windows, this is linux, and you need the terminal (it's your spoon, fork and knife when eating). Sorry, no drag&drop, no automatic stuff, no installation wizards...need the terminal and commands.
Hope my comments do not bother you, but need to read about linux if you are trying to get into this..
good luck...

The full iPad experience. There's less of it, but no less to it.
Everything you love about iPad — the beautiful screen, fast and fluid performance, FaceTime HD and iSight cameras, thousands of amazing apps, 10-hour battery life — is everything you'll love about iPad mini too. And you can hold it in one hand.
Beautiful 7.9-inch display. A screen worthy of iPad.
Colours are vivid and text is sharp on the iPad mini display. But what really makes it stand out is its size. At 7.9 inches, it's perfectly sized to deliver an experience every bit as big as iPad.
Over 475,000 apps. If it's made for iPad, it's made for iPad mini.
Right from the start, apps made for iPad also work with iPad mini. They're immersive, full-screen apps that let you do almost anything you can imagine. And they make iPad mini practically impossible to put down.
Ultra-fast Wireless. Fast connections. The world over.
With advanced Wi-Fi that's up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad and access to fast mobile data networks around the world, iPad mini lets you download content, stream video and browse the web at amazing speeds.
FaceTime and iSight cameras. With two built-in cameras, every side is its good side.
With FaceTime built into iPad mini, you can make a video call over Wi-Fi or a mobile network. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera gives everyone a great view of you, while the iSight camera on the back lets you show others what you're seeing.
iOS. The mobile OS from a whole new perspective.
At the core of every iPad, iPhone or iPod touch is iOS. It includes all the built-in apps you use every day and all the intuitive technology — like Multi-Touch and Siri — that makes iPad mini so advanced.
iCloud. Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud is built directly into iPad mini. Just turn it on and you'll have instant access to all the things you need, whether you're on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac or PC.
AirPlay. Play it on your iPad mini. Watch it on your HDTV.
All the great stuff on your iPad mini — your music, photos and videos — can stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV or to AirPlay-enabled speakers over a Wi-Fi network.
Dictation. Talking is the new typing.
Write an email. Send a text. Search the web. Or create a note. And do it all with only your voice. Instead of typing, tap the microphone icon on the keyboard. Then say what you want to say while your iPad mini listens. When you've finished, tap anywhere on the screen and, just like that, your spoken words become written words. Dictation also works with third-party apps, so you can do things like update your Facebook status or share a thought on your Twitter feed.

- 1. Testing conducted by Apple in October 2012 using pre-production iPad (4th generation) units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback, audio playback and Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute film purchased from the iTunes Store. Audio content was a playlist of 358 unique songs, consisting of a combination of songs imported from CDs using iTunes (128-Kbps AAC encoding) and songs purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Internet over Wi-Fi and mobile data network tests were conducted using dedicated web and mail servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages and receiving mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Wi-Fi was associated with a network (except for Internet browsing over mobile data network); the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Battery life depends on device settings, usage and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.

October 30, 2008-The Rice Case Competition team won third place at the 2008 NAWMBA Conference, held on October 23-25 in Stamford, CT. The case was to create a strategic marketing plan within the NAWMBA budget to gain 200 sponsoring companies and 5,000 attendees at the 2009 NAWMBA Conference and Career Fair. Cynthia Hu, Carolyn Krumme, Maite Uribe, Manny Vedi, and Tony Yiu proposed an integrated short term and long term proposal to execute this goal, in accordance with building NAWMBA's brand image, while preserving the mission of the organization. The team worked late into the night prior to the day of presentation, having been notified of a last-minute piece of information that was critical to their case. On the day of the presentation, CMC staff, and communication faculty and students attended to show their support for the Rice team.

A LORRY crash which resulted in dozens of live chickens spilling out onto the M62 this morning, Wednesday, saw around 1,500 birds killed.
The lorry went into the verge side safety barrier around 4am between junction 11 at Birchwood and junction 12 at Eccles and the road was closed heading towards Manchester.
Highways Agency officials initially said most of the chickens released following the crash were quickly shepherded back into the truck. Some 6,000 were being transported on the lorry.
But North West Motorway Police has now said about 1,500 birds were killed and a number escaped.
It is thought the majority of chickens died from the impact of the crash while others escaped and were hit by cars.
Lane three of the westbound carriageway was also closed briefly. A small amount of traffic stuck behind the incident on the eastbound carriageway was released passed the scene in lane four by 5am.
The carriageway was closed until 10.40am.
All lanes were reopened around 3pm.
Drivers were being told to take the southbound M6 and eastbound M56 from junction 10 of the M62 at the Croft Interchange.

Sandy • Detective Rick Simonelli was surprised to hear that a picture of him was posted on the social photo-sharing app Instagram. One of the gang detective's informants told him about the photos, which he eventually tracked down: a clandestine shot of him and his family at a restaurant, with the picture-taker's comment, "F- the feds."
Simonelli, who works with the federal U.S. Marshals Service and the Metro Gang Task Force, showed the photo Wednesday during a presentation about gangs and social media at the Utah Gang Conference in Sandy.
The annual conference at the South Towne Expo Center drew hundreds of law enforcement, educators and other professionals from across the country. Many sessions focus on how gangs share their culture and advance their criminal activity through technology and mass media. The conference wrapped up Thursday afternoon.
The recent explosion in social media has revolutionized the underground criminal culture as much as the rest of society, according to Simonelli and fellow task force detective Justin Hudson.
Facebook is an especially popular tool for gangsters to recruit, brag about their crimes or call out rivals online, the presenters said. And if an underground musician who represents a gang wants to reach a wider audience, he no longer has to wait for a record contract. Instead, a vast collection of videos that glorify gang culture are available on YouTube. And, as was shown in Simonelli's case, social networks are an easy tool to "put on blast" or publicly threaten enemies, even if it's a law enforcement officer out to dinner with his family.
"If we can do it, they can do it," Hudson said. "They have technology, too. You'd be surprised. They recruit guys who know this technology."
The proliferation of technology among gangsters can be a double-edged sword. Simonelli said that any criminal who takes a picture on Instagram is also subject to the geo-tagging that comes with such images.
"We can use it later on as evidence," Simonelli said.
The annual conference is hosted by the Unified Police Department's Metro Gang Task Force, a multi-agency group that works on gang suppression in Salt Lake County. It includes updates on gang trends in Ogden, Utah County and southern Utah.
The conference kicked off Wednesday morning with a keynote address by Jermaine Galloway, an Idaho police officer who covered the latest drug and alcohol trends across the country. The address, "High in Plain Sight," focused largely on trends that affect youths; many in the audience worked in education.
Galloway said popular clothing lines, musicians and paraphernalia often serve as secret signs of drug activity for the initiated but don't draw attention from the general public.
Clothing lines by companies such as SRH or Seedless, which sell hats or pants that include secret stash containers, are popular in the drug culture, he said. Such innocuous logos as crowns or spades can be, but aren't always, indicative of drug use.
"It all means something," Galloway said. "Everything has a meaning."
Two classes on Thursday examined how two of Utah's largest minority populations Latinos and Pacific Islanders are dealing with gang problems using their own cultures and values.
"Our community is in a transition," said Hema Katoa, a counselor with the Jordan School District who specializes in working with the Pacific Islander community.
Police first got involved with the Pacific Islander community only as a gang suppression force, he said. Now, more people are beginning to understand that prevention is just as important.
"We can't deal with this problem until we turn the faucet off," Katoa said. "What we're trying to do is to empower our children to take responsibility for the community."
The panel discussion on gang problems in the Pacific Islander community included a presentation by Herewini Jones, a New Zealander who is a recognized expert in that country's indigenous Maori culture. Jones helped establish a set-apart Maori Focus Unit in New Zealand's prisons that uses the inmates' own culture and values as a central part of their rehabilitation.
Jones told the audience Thursday that anyone working with gangsters or other criminals in the Polynesian community must recognize the power of their culture if they want to reach them. A similar approach should be taken in Utah's Pacific Islander community.
"What's needed is intensive cultural intervention programs," Jones said.
When Pacific Islander youths don't learn the values of their culture, they are more susceptible to joining gangs and committing crimes, he said. "There are valuable and powerful things in the Polynesian world, and we cannot overlook them."
Another class, about active Latino gangs in Utah, talked about the impact of various gangs operating under the rival umbrellas of California's Nortenos and Surenos. While these gangs may have started within Latino communities, many of their Utah counterparts will take all races, according to Metro Gang Unit Sgt. Lex Bell.
Bell talked about recent violence in the Salt Lake City area and how it sprouted from rivalries between the various sets. The murder of 16-year-old Kenyatta Winston, allegedly by rival gang member Frank Reyos, was an example. A February triple homicide in Midvale, allegedly by gang member David Fresques, also was born out of a violent feud between sets of the Barrio Small Town and La Primera gangs in Midvale.
Ricardo Venegas, who runs the YouthCity Teen Programs for Salt Lake City, said that after-school programs and input from a variety of community sources can help teens to escape the pull that gang life can exert on young Latinos, especially those between ages 12 and 14. Educators and others who work with youths should beware of "self-fulfilling prophecies," Venegas said.
"If we expect them to be a gang member, and if we treat them like gang members, and we see them as gang members," he said, "then they will be gang members."
Positive programs that promote leadership and identity among youths will help to disrupt self-fulfilling prophecies,Venegas added.
"All programs could be gang-prevention programs," he said. "All youth are at risk."

Because of you, a musical world has opened up for me.
For bassist Amelia Gormley, getting accepted to Berklee was a dream come true, but financing her education has been challenging. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the scholarship and financial aid I've received. It's only because of private donations made by friends of the Berklee community that I'll be able to complete my degree," says" Gormley, whose band just released its first full-length album and is planning a tour next year. "Every donation, big and small, helps make Berklee the amazing place it is, and gives students like me the chance to experience it despite financial hardship."

Two weeks after its scheduled release, customers at local comic book stores such as Pulp Fiction in Long Beach on Thursday finally got their hands on the anticipated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of the Foot Clan No. 1."
The book was among several IDW Publishing titles that were supposed to be released Dec. 19 and Dec. 26, but the clerical workers strike at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles delayed the comic book titles until this month.
In late November, more than two years of talks crumbled between International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit, the union representing more than 600 clerical workers at both ports, and their employers, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Association, which represents shipping agencies and terminal operators in Southern California.
It led to a major shutdown of the nation's busiest seaport complex for the first time in a decade. The strike, which longshore workers also honored, lasted from Nov. 27 to Dec. 4, effectively closing 10 of 14 terminals and slowing to a crawl the delivery of goods to destinations east. It stranded ships in the water and at the ports and forced some ships to divert to other ports.
More than 60 percent of goods from outside Southern California flow through the twin ports and those goods include most everything from car parts and electronics to produce, apparel and yes, comic books.
And because the holiday schedule of IDW's global distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors, didn't allow for books to be shipped from overseas in the last week of December, books couldn't be shipped to retailers and readers before year's end.
In a recent statement, IDW's CEO and Publisher Ted Adams expressed frustration about not being able to get books to fans and retailers.
"It's frustrating to have circumstances be out of our control," he said.
"Fortunately, however, we're still left with a very strong slate of titles to finish out 2012 and lots of great books for everyone to enjoy in the New Year."
Latest Classic Jurassic Park, Classic Popeye, G.I. JOE: Cobra Son of the Snake, Li'l Abner, Transformers titles, among others, finally flowed into stores this week.
But Pulp Fiction owner Mike Lerner said the delay did not affect his business too much.
"There were a couple of people waiting for it but they understood," he said. "People in the comic book world are pretty familiar with delays for whatever reason." email@example.com, 562-714-2088, twitter.com/KarenMeeksPT

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- The Illinois Gaming Board said it's "a few weeks behind" its launch schedule for the state's video lottery program, according to a Sept. 2 story in The Northwest Herald.
As previously reported by Vending Times, IGB officials said in early August that they expected to activate VLT machines by Labor Day, following a two-week test of VLTs and the central computer system in five separate locations around the state. | SEE STORY
The Herald quoted IGB's Gene O'Shea as saying, "We are a little bit behind, but not by much. We were hoping to have some of the machines up and running by Labor Day. Once we get the testing done, then we'll move forward with it."
The two-week test apparently has not yet begun.
