A Guide to Mentoring Programs
There are societies and groups present in colleges and universities, whose purpose is to provide mentoring programs for the students and alumni. Those who join shall receive help in various areas, like their courses, personal issues, connections to previous member who are in the job market, prominent members of society who are alumni, a network for job placement, and internships, and others.
There is always information on such programs at a coordinator's office, or the information office on campus. Most if they have a website, for ease of access. Current students, as well as teachers, can also join in as mentors. Students need to have advanced in their studies to be considered. There is always the knowledge that you are volunteering your time. They will be given a few new students, who they have to help settle in campus and find the most appropriate courses and niche in school. They are like the student advisors, only more focused. They shall help the new student make the most of their time while on campus.
Some of these mentoring programs go further than colleges, up to high school. You will see this when high school students who are good in certain fields taking their time to offer guidance to those who are struggling. They tend to form the best mentors later on in life. Their help usually goes a long way, since the students have no problem talking to them about such things.
The new student usually have a lot of questions about the job market. The mentors are thus present for such cases. They will show them the most ideal subjects to cover, for the kind of jobs they are thinking of doing in future. You will also find employers who have such programs for their employees.
A mentor is a person who volunteers their time, experience and expertise, to help younger ones to make better decisions when it comes to their future, both career and societies. To join such a mentoring program, one needs to meet certain criteria. They have to be of a certain age, and take a test whose results will determine their acceptance. The younger ones will spend time with their older counterparts and learn from them. They will be told what they have to do to make it to the top. There is a great deal of responsibility that goes with being a mentor. They need to plan out such activities for their charges. They will be successful when their charges also reach a level of independence and progress. Their support and guidance are key to this.

text: This one hast just cost me two hours, and I'm still baffled. The story (in shorthand): was trying to integrate a positional metafun graphic into a presentation. I got no output. I tried making a minimal example file to reproduce the problem, and sure enough, everything went fine. I rebuilt the entire file, by pasting one paragraph of the original file at a time, and I got exactly the output I wanted. [Drumroll] I deleted the original file and everything associated with it [i.e. all those .tui and .tuo etc.], saved the new file from my /tmp directory to my working directory, and -- I got no output again. diff shows that both files are identical. Looking at the logs, there's only one difference I can spot: < \openout5 = `test-mpgraph.mp'. --- > \openout5 = `05.11.08-mpgraph.mp'. 205,206c206,207 < [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.1) [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.2) < [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.3) --- > [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.1] [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.2] > [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.3] 211c212 < systems : end file test at line 426 --- > systems : end file 05.11.08 at line 426 213c214 < [flush and process test-mpgraph.mp afterwards] ) --- > [flush and process 05.11.08-mpgraph.mp afterwards] ) The "MP to PDF" part is missing from the file 05.11.08, which might explain why I don't see anything in the resulting pdf. But why? Can anybody enlighten me why the same file can behave differently? And how I can coax ConTeXt into running this MP to PDF thingy? Thanks Thomas

You and a friend could have dinner and drinks with Jason Aldean. But is it weird that I think having him name a drink after you is even better?
In an Instagram post on Monday (May 14), Aldean explained that if you enter this contest, he will fly you and your guest to Nashville, book you a room at a four-star hotel, then have you join him for dinner and a few drinks at his new place, Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar.
But then he adds that you'll also get a chance to put a signature cocktail on the menu. "Let's say your name is Andrew," Aldean says. "You could go for the Drew Dropper, or Mint Drewlip. But I'd push for something classy, like Tonight Looks Good on Drew."
If your name is Elizabeth, he suggests, you could come up with a recipe for a Gin Lizzy.
Whatever your name is, I'm sure you've already come up with a few worthy ideas (The only thing that sounds like Alison is Galveston, so I'm not having much luck myself.).
As CMT.com previously reported, the place already has several cocktails pulled from the lyrics of Aldean's music. But seeing your own name on that same menu would be the ultimate fan experience.
To win this grand grand prize, you just donate to the Susan G. Komen foundation at omaze.com. When you do that, you'll be helping fund so many breast cancer efforts, like investing in breakthrough research and reducing the number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2026.
Aldean is currently on the road for his High Noon Neon tour — with openers Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina and Dee Jay Silver — where he packed fans into venues all over the Midwest, starting in Kansas City on May 10. His next stop is St. Louis on Friday (May 18).

Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch
WE WOULDN'T BE LYING if we said that Samsung's first smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Gear, didn't set the world alight when it was launched last August. With a chunky, heavy design, a 24-hour battery life and a £300 price, it was hardly the most desirable gadget to hit the market in 2013.
That's why Samsung didn't waste any time bringing a sequel to market and releasing the Gear 2 smartwatch earlier in April with some updated features, such as a slimmer design, a 1.63in Super AMLOED display, a 2MP camera and a focus on fitness.
Samsung claims the design of the Gear 2 is "much sleeker" than that of the original Galaxy Gear smartwatch. And so it is - just not in any major way.
The weight doesn't differ very much; the Samsung Gear 2 tips the scales at 68g compared to the original Galaxy Gear's 74g. However, it does look and feel much slimmer on the wrist and does look better, less bulky and cumbersome, compared to its predecessor. This is mainly thanks to Samsung's decision to move the camera sensor from the strap to above the display.
Samsung Gear 2 streamline
The Samsung Gear 2 also feels more streamlined than last year's model, and the redesigned strap, which is a textured rubber material, both looks good and sits comfortably on the wrist.
The unsightly screws from the original Gear have been removed too, which means that the device doesn't look quite as brutal as Samsung's original smartwatch. Instead, the metal watchface sports a new home button under the screen, which we found makes the device more intuitive to use.
Another nice design feature is that, much like the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Gear 2 is resistant to dust and water, which means you won't need to take it off while in the shower. Also like the Galaxy S5, there's a heart rate monitor built into the rear of the device, part of the smartwatch shifting to focus on fitness.
Samsung Gear 2 review
Our Samsung Gear 2 review model came in Charcoal black. Those looking for a more fun-looking device will be pleased to hear that it also comes in two other colour strap options; Wild Orange and Gold Brown.
All in all, the Samsung Gear's design is very likable, easy to get used to and unobtrusive. We do however have one small quibble. The metal clasp on the bottom tends to get in the way at times, as it is much thicker at this point. When sat at a desk, for example, it will clank against the hard surface, meaning that your wrist won't lay flat against it. We can't say that this annoyed us too much, though.
One of our favourite features of the Samsung Gear 2 is its 1.63in 320x320 resolution Super AMOLED display. It fits in well with the overall premium feel of the smartwatch and feels smooth to the touch.

I don�t blame Byron Leftwich for the Steelers� loss to Baltimore. I blame Steelers management.
Leftwich never should have played. Never should have even been on the team this season.
Leftwich is horribly injury-prone: Broken arm last season. Bum knee in 2010. Hurt elbow in 2009. How does he keep getting contracts?
But, more significantly, Leftwich is a bad fit for Todd Haley�s offense. Slow release. Bad footwork. Minimal touch.
Leftwich busted two ribs and hurt his shoulder Sunday. He�s out. Next up: Charlie Batch. A better match for Haley�s playbook.
But Batch, 37, seems a good bet to get hurt, too. Batch isn�t brittle, but age equals immobility. Gentlemen, pin your ears back.
Then what? I don�t know. The Steelers don�t know. Ex-Pitt quarterback Tyler Palko played for Haley in Kansas City. Has it come to that?
It looks like Plaxico Burress may come back. Anything is possible.
The Steelers needed (and still need) better on the depth chart behind Ben Roethlisberger. Unless his wife gives birth to a fully-grown, durable, game-experienced quarterback.
The Steelers needed (and still need) a backup QB who can run Haley�s offense. Somebody to release the ball quick, complete the short stuff and stay healthy. To do what Leftwich couldn�t and Batch probably can�t.
Given Haley�s demands, how the heck did the Steelers start the season with Leftwich as their No. 2? Who made that horrific decision?
A better backup might have cost more money. But retaining Leftwich cost them the AFC North title. That�s an expensive price to pay.
Haley�s decisions against Baltimore were a nightmare. The game boiled down to third-and-two at the Baltimore 4. Third quarter, Steelers trail 13-7. Dwyer had rushed for eight yards on the previous play.
Haley called a fade route to Mike Wallace. A pick play. Jonathan Dwyer was gashing the Ravens, who have been vulnerable against the run all season. The Steelers needed just 2 yards for a first down. Dwyer averaged 4.6 yards on the night.
Instead, a quarterback with zero touch heaved a finesse pass to a receiver with a case of the dropsies. To be fair, Leftwich�s throw was decent. Wallace caught it, but couldn�t get his feet in bounds like big-money receivers do. The Steelers, as they too often do, settled for a field goal.
Haley calls plays like he�s trying to outwit a football video game. Whatever the situation dictates the defense should focus on, do the opposite.
It didn�t work.
A quarterback that hadn�t started since 2009 or won since 2006 was called upon to throw 39 passes despite getting hurt in the game�s first minute. Haley called 43 pass plays, just 26 rushing plays. Leftwich heaved more long balls in one game that Roethlisberger had thrown all season.
Haley didn�t try to win. He tried to prove how smart he is.
That didn�t work, either.
It was a disappointing night all around for the Steelers. Antonio Brown, who was injured and not dressed, was laughing it up with Baltimore�s Ed Reed near the Steelers sideline even as teammate Jerricho Cotchery received medical treatment a few yards away. The Ravens� Bernard Pollard had done the damage, but Reed had earlier nailed Emmanuel Sanders helmet-to-helmet, a blow that later earned a one-game suspension.
Pretty funny, eh, Antonio?
Ryan Clark defended Reed�s hit on Twitter. Said Reed should not be suspended. Spoken like somebody who visited Baltimore�s locker room after the game to pal around with Reed.
Aren�t the Ravens and Steelers bitter rivals? Several Ravens sang a mocking version of �Renegade� on the way off the field. Those guys have the right idea.
Mean Joe Greene was there as part of the Steelers� 80th anniversary celebration. If he ever visited an opposing locker room after losing, it would have been to attack somebody. Where�s the pride?

Review: Hewlett-Packard Mini 5101 Netbook
Page 1 of 1
Hewlett-Packard Mini 5101 netbookPrice: about $400
Pros: Bigger screen than many netbooks, excellent keyboard design, hard drive, under 3lbs.
Cons: Under-powered for compute-intensive tasks, no optical drive, only fair Wi-Fi performance
Netbooks have come a long way, baby.
Hewlett-Packards $400 Mini 5101, designed for road warriors, is a good case in point. It boasts grown-up features, including a built-in Wi-Fi 802.11n-draft adapter that delivered adequate if not stellar performance. Yet its still reasonably tiny.
The QWERTY part of the keyboardfrom the Caps Lock key on the left to the Enter key on the rightmeasures a hair under ten inches, about 87% of the size of our desktop keyboard.
Keyboards on 7-inch-screen models really dont permit efficient touch typing. This one does.
The 5101 has a hard drive, albeit only 160GBbut its more than just flash memory. And it also has a full 1GB of 533 MHz DDR SDRAM.
The processor is one of the ubiquitous Intel Atoms (the N280). But with a clock speed of 1.66 GHz (512 KB L2 cache, 533 MHz FSB) it can easily handle low-end to mid-range computing tasksWeb browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, etc.
The 5101 comes with a built-in Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g/Draft n Wi-Fi adapterso dual (2.4 and 5 GHz) radiosplus a Gigabit Ethernet port, and Bluetooth 2.0.
The three USB 2.0 ports and external VGA monitor port, along with standard headphone/line-out and microphone-in jacks, puts the 5101 ahead of many netbooks. And the built-in 2.0 megapixel Webcam makes it the complete netbook for road warriors.
HP literature says the 5101 runs Windows XP Home. The model we tested shipped with XP Home, but bore a sticker for Vista Basic. Were not sure what this means. Based on the smaller system requirements for Windows 7, the 5101 should be able to run the new Windows too.
The only thing missing: an optical drive.
Despite the grown-up features, the 5101 retains its ultra-portable credentials. Dimensions: 10.30 x 7.09 x 0.91 inches. Weight: 2.64 lbs.
Great screen
For many users, the most critical components in a netbook are the screen and keyboard. The smallest netbooks make touch typing difficult or impossible and long computing sessions can cause considerable eye strain.
Sticking a bigger screen on a netbook reduces the eye strain problemwhile, of course, increasing overall dimension and weight. The 5101s LED-backlit 1024 x 600-pixel screen coupled with the Mobile Intel graphics system delivers an impressively bright, sharp, and high-contrast image.
A bigger screen, while making more room for the keyboard, doesnt necessarily fix the keyboard problem, but HP has done a nice job designing this one.
Even better keyboard
The keys are chiclet stylesquare and low to the top surfacewhich looks elegant but often does not make for a great feel for a touch typist.
These keys are well-spaced, however, and have a roughened surface so fingers dont slide off. Backspace, Enter, and right Shift keysoften truncated on smaller keyboards to save spaceare a good size here.
Result: we could type almost as fast on the 5101 as on our desktop keyboard and with few if any mistrokes due to size, spacing, or position of keys.
The 5101 does not have a dual-core processor, so it does not have the power of mid-range to high-end conventional laptops built in the last few years. It wont run multiple concurrent programs as efficiently as more powerful machines. And it will run very slowly when completing some tasks.
Processing power
We tried to open a 500MB project file created using Microsoft Photo Story, a program that allows you to create movies from still pictures with music, titles, and transition and pan-and-zoom effectsa fairly processor-intensive operation.
It took several minutes to open the file in Photo Story. On a dual-core machine (Dell XPS 1330) it took a little over a minute. Then it took the 5101 several more minutes to generate a video from the project file. Again, it took less time on the dual-core machine.
The resulting video did play flawlessly on the 5101, however.
And with the tasks most users will want to perform on this type of computer, the 5101s processor is perfectly adequate.
With less intensive operations, even when running a couple of programs at the same timeword processing while watching streaming video in another window, for examplethe 5101 had no difficulty.
It was also able to play streaming video from the Web in supposedly HD resolution.
Wi-Fi: not so great
Wi-Fi functionality, however, was only fair.
We tested raw throughput by measuring time to copy a large file (about 500MB) from a network hard drive to the 5101 over a 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless network. We compared the results to throughput with the Dell XPS 1330, which has a built-in Intel 802.11n (2.4GHz) adapter.
Although the 5101s adapter reported higher network speeds than the Dell computer never a very reliable measure of actual speedthroughput was significantly lower in most tests.
With both machines about 18 feet from the router, with one plaster wall between, the Dell computer reported a network speed of 130 megabits per second (Mbps) and moved the file in 64 seconds (actual throughput of a little under 60 Mbps).
The 5101 reported network speeds from 160 to 270 Mbps, but took almost three times as long183 secondsto move the file. Actual throughput: about 20 Mbps.
Its not clear if this was due to the 5101s slower CPU not being able to process the incoming bits fast enough or an inferior wireless radioor a combination of the two.
In a room where we typically have poor wireless coverageless than 30 feet from the router, but with a couple of walls in the way and probable interference from a nearby neighboring Wi-Fi networkthe Dell computer reported the same 130 Mbps network speed and copied the file in 64 seconds again. The 5101 reported 108 to 160 Mbps, but took 232 seconds this time.
The 5101 fared better in tests where the two computers were further from the router and with brick walls in between. At about 30 feet, the Dell computer was still faster, but not by as much. At 70 feet, both, predictably, were very slow, but the 5101 was faster.
The 5101 also measured faster download timesby about 2 Mbpsin Internet speed tests conducted at Speedtest.net, using a server 50 miles away. The somewhat surprising results from this testwhich transmits relatively small, so easy-to-process filessuggests the result from the file-copy test was due more to a slow processor.
Bottom line
The HP Mini 5101 is an impressive little machine, even if Wi-Fi is not its strongest suit. Its by no means a desktop replacement, but thats not what netbooks are meant to be.
If youre mobile much of the time and find yourself trying to use a BlackBerry or similar for tasks that really require a bigger screen and proper keyboard, this class of netbook is a great alternative to traditional small-and-lights. And this one in particular, has much to recommend it: very good and good-sized screen, excellent keyboard design, processing power adequate for most mobile tasks, and fair Wi-Fi functionality.

Ch 1 Intro
Ch 2 core skills, core standards
Ch 3 Collaborating/Discussing
30 Collab requires people to agree on a goal, divide the task, delegate responsibilities and agree how to combine pieces to create the desired end product
collaboration brings people together to achieve something that could not be achieved individually
Standard 1--prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively."
high school students required to take more responsibility for discussion They don't just participate in teacher created discussions, they initiate them. They set the goals and the roles. Actively participate, not sit and listen to others. they bring others into the discussion and promote differing opinions.
Teachers guides not leaders, they ask questions..."What rules should we have for the discussion?" "How can we be sure we have heard all views?" When problems occur, "How can this be solved? Is there new evidence or a new argument that we need?"
Collaboration--interacting with others in a group to accomplish a goal.
1 must have a specific purpose or point,
2 work towards a goal
3 be given freedom to use all tools at their disposal
40 Take action: Developing Collaborative Discussion Skills
Algebra--group members get questions with same process different problem--explain problem and answer to group members
English--comma usage different writing piece to edit, are there introductory phrases in the paper, are there items in a series--in groups discuss comma rules present in piece
Sci--give different labs, identify control, variables etc and explain to group
42 Require groups to collaborate to produce a single product
hand out difficult article to all members--all read discuss and write one summary per group they all agree summarizes all key points--can have person 1 write 1st sentence, 2nd person write 2nd sentence etc. If there is disagreement, they must collaborate to resolve the differences.
43 Collaborate then generate individual products
After showing a video, put in groups, each writes a paragraph with powerful topic sentence and three supporting points
44 Assign roles
writer/recorder, timekeeper, summarizer, messenger, questioner, keyboarder, noise monitor, supervisor, reader, reporter
48 Take Action: Developing Civil Discussion Skills
collaboration cannot occur in a hostile environment--leads to shouting
discussion is not to make sure your idea dominates, but to increase understanding or come to a consensus
All discussions should have an announced and specific focus
50 Rules for Civil Discussion
1. Focus on the task at hand--clear desk, free hands in order to concentrate
2. Don't interrupt--cutting others off denies them their right to express themselves and shape the discussion
3. Build on what others say--shows you are paying attention to others and that you respect others' thinking ("I want to add to what Mary said..."
4. Control emotions--outbursts do not advance ideas--they shut them down. Those too emotional may not understand others and may make others shut down
5. Control nonverbal signals--gestures and facial expressions can convey disrespect and shut down conversation
6. Don't jump to conclusions--don't assume you know where the speaker is going
7. Don't judge the messenger--separate people from actions--hate cleaning up the milk, not the person who spilled it.
8. Practice empathy--you may not know what someone or their family member has been through
9. Be patient--wait for others to finish speaking trying to interrupt shows you don't care about what others have to say
10. Ask questions--before stating your comment, ask one question of the previous speaker. "You said ___________, but would you say the same if the situation were ___________."
11. Presume positive intentions--
12. Everyone's contributions are essential--don't let a class leader shut down conversation
52 Have evidence based discussions--require each speaker to cite a specific piece of evidence to support their comment
53 Traveling debate
Choose topic with yes/no answer
Choose one yes speaker objective is to convince no's to change their minds vice versa

integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse media (e.g., diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively and orally) evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source
"Consider the article we read, the video we watched, the chapter in ____. All have different perspectives. Which one is the most credible to you? Why?"
61 Take Action: Developing Listening Skills
Ask students to define "good listening"
What does good listening look like? Sound like?
62Listen with purpose
Give students a recipe and read it for different purposes: find out if it includes ingredients found in their kitchen, to assess if it will be difficult to prepare, to evaluate if the recipe is healthy, etc.
Purposes of listening
- to remember or understand what happened in a story
- to remember or understand a procedure
- to learn important dates
- to find examples
- to find reasons supporting main ideas
- to solve a problem
- to find metaphors and similes
- to identify inflections int eh speech of the person talking
- to focus on how the speech was delivered
- to focus on the message only, ignoring the delivery
- to identify places where they have questions or need help understanding
- to indentify points they agree with or disagree with
- to find errors in verb tense, pronoun use, or word choice
- to find places where they might offer suggestions for improvement in an argument
- to identify how the speaker is feeling
**Watch short video multiple times and listen for something different each time. LIsten to:

Managing PCs has always been painful, but the job has become considerably nastier thanks to an endless parade of application upgrades, operating system patches and anti-threat updates.
Even with network-based installation and patch management tools to ease the burden, IT spends far too much time at the desktop itself, dealing with shenanigans involving personal software, multiple versions of Java or ActiveX controls, driver or DLL conflicts, malware infections, misconfigured hardware and more.
The promise of desktop virtualisation technology is to centralise applications at the data centre to make them easier to manage and provision -- stretching hardware resources and keeping nagging software conflicts to a minimum in the bargain. In some cases, the same technology helps accomplish all three, bringing greater control and flexibility to IT without users mourning the loss of "their" beloved desktops.
At first blush, desktop virtualisation sounds a lot like terminal services such as those provided by Citrix Systems, where servers run the applications and give users remote access. All the user's terminal or PC does is present the updated screen display and permit input via keyboard and mouse.
Desktop virtualisation, on the other hand, is a new way of delivering the individual PC environment that white-collar workers demand and love. In essence, servers host an entire desktop environment specific to each user.
The early versions of desktop virtualisation were blade servers such as those offered by ClearCube Technology and IBM that simply moved the processing guts of a PC to the data centre and left the input and display at the user's desk. But the latest versions use the PC at the user's desk for much of the processing. Dubbed "desktop streaming," this approach retains the benefits of central management without throwing away the desktop's power. The needed code is streamed to disk and memory cache for just that session, ensuring that there's nothing for the user to mess up or alter.
A few providers go beyond desktop streaming to application streaming, where IT can send out the runtime cache for individual apps as needed. This reduces the number of unique user images to maintain and provides better insight into which application licences are really needed.
Building a better thin client
The greatest benefit of desktop virtualisation is the ability to provision PCs and other client devices with software from a central location. IT can manage a large number of enterprise clients from the data centre, rather than at each user's desk, reducing on-site support and increasing control of application and patch management.
At its simplest, virtualisation on the application server side reduces hardware costs by letting one server provision multiple desktop clients, rather than having one server per desktop client, says John Humphreys, an IDC analyst. And virtualisation also adds the ability to move desktop environments and hosted applications as needed for load-balancing or fail-over. To make existing terminal services and blade systems work with virtual machines, established providers such as Citrix and ClearCube have developed broker technology to let IT manage the mapping to virtual resources.
Citrix, ClearCube and Wyse Technology now support the use of VMware and Microsoft virtual machines on blades and other application servers. VMware also offers Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) software, which makes server-hosted virtual machines accessible to users through the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Bell Canada uses VDI to provision desktops to call-centre users, letting them work in other locations or even at home without burdening IT support, notes Martin Quigley, senior solutions adviser for adaptive infrastructure at Bell Systems & Technology, which manages Bell Canada's call centres. "RDP is quite thin," he notes, so it does not burden the network. But Quigley looks forward to the next release of VMware's underlying ESX technology, which will support load balancing across servers, making it easier to maintain performance levels as user demands change; currently, this is a manual process.
At Duncan Regional Hospital, the number of desktops more than doubled to about 500 in the past two years. Rather than lobby for money to hire more desktop support techs, CIO Roger Neal decided to deploy ClearCube thin clients and keep the physical management in a central location -- and get more from his existing staff. When ClearCube began supporting VMware virtual machines in 2006, Neal began reconfiguring his blade servers to run three virtual machines per blade, so he wouldn't need more blades as the demand for desktops increased. He also saw desktop support calls drop by 40 percent, which he attributes to centralised PC management.
Streaming to the desktop
Virtualisation at the application host server can make thin clients more efficient to deploy, but many organisations are wedded to having real PCs at users' disposal despite the support costs. Desktop streaming is emerging as one of the most efficient ways to support this model without incurring the usual bloated desktop support costs.
A growing number of vendors -- including Ardence, Propero, Stream Theory and Wyse -- offer desktop streaming software that provisions the entire desktop environment from a server to a desktop PC (or thin client).
Altiris, AppStream, and Microsoft (through its recent acquisition of Softricity) have pushed the concept to the next level, streaming applications rather than a complete desktop environment. This allows greater flexibility in what is provisioned, because IT can create a basic operating system image and then individual images for each application, and combine them as needed on the fly. You don't need a separate desktop image for each combination of applications.
With both desktop and application streaming, the provisioned operating system and applications use the client's local resources, without the overhead of permanent installation on the client. For example, financial services firm Russell Investments Group saw application deployment shrink from four weeks to 1.5 weeks after it began using Microsoft's SoftGrid, says Greg Nelson, an IT analyst at the company.
Typically, a set of stub services is transferred to the local cache at connection time, and other resources are streamed as needed. "When you run an application, you need only 15 to 20 percent to start using it, so it can be network-delivered," says David Grescher, director of marketing for SoftGrid at Microsoft.
Streaming does delay initial application access, acknowledges Bill Washburn, operations analyst at California State University at San Marcos, which uses Altiris' technology. "But once the application is installed, people say it's the best they've ever seen it run," he says.
Russell Investments' Nelson says that although desktop and application streaming should theoretically use more network resources than terminal services do, that's not always the case. For example, printing and working with large files can swamp the network in a traditional terminal services architecture. Desktop and application streaming can avoid that by using local printers and local storage.
This is part 1 of a two-part article. The second part appears on Monday.

Manchester City should push on with their attempts to sign Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner.
The fullback is set to leave the Italian giants in the summer on a free transfer, and could opt for a new challenge in the Premier League with the current English champions.
Despite his career beginning to enter the twilight phase, his versatility and defensive capabilities could make him a shrewd acquisition and see him be a big hit in England's top flight.
City struggles
Manuel Pellegrini's outfit are currently well below par, and currently lie third in the table below Jose Mourinho's stylish Chelsea and Ronald Koeman's exciting Southampton.
They have conceded 12 goals in 11 games and also look destined for yet another early exit from the Champions League after mustering just 2 points from their opening four group games.
Eliaquim Mangala was drafted in from Portuguese giants Porto in the summer for a new British transfer fee for a defender of £32million, but has looked a far cry from the player that shone overseas and has failed to add the solidarity that many had expected.
The form and fitness of captain Vincent Kompany has provided the Chilean manager with another headache, with the Belgian facing an uphill battle to be fit for the visit of Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich next week.
Pablo Zabaleta has been as evergreen as ever, but Lichtsteiner's arrival could finally allow the Argentinean some much needed rest.
Juventus spell
If the Swiss international does move to the Etihad Stadium it would leave Massimiliano Allegri short of a player blessed with experience and versatility in equal measure.
He was brought to the club by former manager Antonio Conte, and immediately helped guide the club to the title in 2012 by making 39 appearances in all competitions.
Since then the Serie A giants have won a further two more titles, with Lichtsteiner featuring 68 times in the two seasons that followed.
This term he has featured in all 11 of the club's league fixtures, but despite being a regular under Allegri could soon find himself plying his trade in England instead.
Possible deal
The 30-year-old is not a player to regularly make the back pages, but his solidarity would bolster City's squad if they do indeed relinquish their crown to Chelsea this season.
It would also spell the end of his Serie A love affair, having previously represented Lazio prior to his departure in 2011.
And with his career now beginning to draw to a close, the deal would suit both parties and allow the player to see out his playing time in arguably the best division in the world.

What is there left to prove after you've won a gold medal on the international stage?
That's probably a good question for Ky Westbrook. The high school sprinter just returned from the Ukraine with a gold medal in the 100-yard dash that she won at the IAAF World Youth Championships.
"This is definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life," she gushed in a post on Milesplit.
And now the senior at Chandler High School will begin to look ahead to her final year on the prep track and find a new set of goals that will keep her motivated until she can begin her college career.
Westbrook won the gold in the 100 at the IAAF Championships last week with the best time of her young career. And she's had a succession of personal-best times along the way that have set a variety of records.
She just keeps getting better:
11.68. The time she posted as a sophomore in the 100 at the Sun Angel Classic when she broke the meet record. She also won the event as a freshman in a time of 11.80.
11.65. Her winning time as a sophomore at the Chandler Invitational.
11.47. Her winning time as a junior set a meet record at the Chandler Invitational – and became the fastest time in the country at that point in the season.
11.45. This time won the 100 dash at this year's state championships and also ranks as No. 3 on the list of all-time fastest in the state in that event.
11.33. The time she posted to win the IAAF gold medal.
11.31. The time she has to beat to break the Arizona state record.
And that might partially answer the question of what goals are still out there for Westbrook, although she has also embarked on a program to become a heptathlete in college. Mastering those seven events should keep her busy through her senior season.
However, let's not lose sight of the fact that she is also just as dominant in the 200-yard run. She has won state titles in both the 100 and 200 for each year in high school; she has never been beaten in state competition. Her winning time of 23.39 in the 200 at this year's state meet broke an Arizona record that stood for almost a decade.
She has already begun chipping away at the heptathlete events. Last April she threw the shot put 47'9″ to win the event at the Chandler City Meet – a distance good enough to erase a mark that lasted for the past 33 years.
For her final year, she plans on competing in the long jump, high jump, and hurdles.
So it would appear after all that she will have little trouble finding new goals to chase. Don't expect this youngster to be just killing time until college arrives.

To dream of your hands, represents your relationship to those around you and how you connect with the world. Hands serve as a form of communication. Perhaps you need to lend out a helping hand to someone.
In particular, the left hand symbolizes your graciousness and feminine, receptive qualities.
And the right hand symbolizes masculine, active attributes.
It may also be a pun for some decision or something being ârightâ. Here are some other âhandâ dream meanings: A dream about holding hands with someone means that you are needing and willing to develop close friendships.
It may also mean you are feeling sexy, or want some physical affection. Your dream may also reflect anxieties about losing touch or drifting apart from that person.
To dream that your hands are injured represents an attack on your ego. Giant hands in a dream, especially if they are your own, mean someone in your life is too demanding of you. However, this dream can also mean success in achieving your goals.
Small hands in a dream, whether yours or somebody elseâs, suggest that you are feeling insecure, or under attack.
To dream that your hands are hairy or rough, implies your lack of gentleness in dealing with others.
To see blood on your hands, signifies that you are feeling guilty.
To dream of washing your hands represents a worrisome issue that you need to work through.
Alternatively, it suggests that you are no longer taking responsibility in some matter.
If you dream you have no hands, you feel out of control in a real life situation.

The IDB Education Trust Ghana started and became operational in Ghana in the 1986/ 87 academic year. That was the year in which the first batch of beneficiaries was awarded scholarships to study in Turkey.
The basic policy of IDB is for beneficiaries to study in their own countries if the institutional and other facilities allow it. However, circumstances at that time necessitated that the beneficiaries from Ghana should study outside and Turkey was selected as the preferred destination. This study arrangement persisted until the 2000/ 2001 Academic when all the beneficiaries were all located for studies in Ghana.

I am going to introduce you to a quote, not a life-changing Pinterest board style quote or one to ponder, but a quote ripped from a talk discussing possible new technologies: "Let me talk about how you might input information. And my favorite example is always fingers. I'm very interested in touch-sensitive displays. High-tech, high-touch." This quote is ripped from a Ted Talk circa 1984 by Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the MIT Media Lab who also founded the One Laptop per Child Association. 30 years ago — the year I was born — Nicholas talked about the technologies we take for granted today as if, back then, they were the technologies of the soon tomorrow. Thanks to the internet, 30 years later we can finally appreciate all of his predictions from that talk.
Exposure to new ideas or thought processes help to change the course of our chosen path in life. It defines our character and shapes our perspective. Edward de Bono said, "If you never change your mind, why have one?" TED Talks spread new ideas and open those who are willing to listen to a whole new world and new way of thinking.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, hence the acronym TED. Today, TED covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
TEDxPittsburgh exists, as you may or may not know, and the upcoming event is one to pay attention to. We talked with Chris Daley, a co-organizer of the upcoming TEDxPittsburgh event about what to expect from this Saturday's event:
Bridges. They're a thing here. And here are some of the best #Pittsburgh has to offer imo. http://t.co/Nsl3bzi3jY pic.twitter.com/zobjCh3kJj

We are the TEDx formerly known as TEDxGrandviewAve. After two awesome years of TEDxGrandviewAve, this is our first year as TEDxPittsburgh. Its a big deal to have the steel city namesake as part of our name, and we wanted to make sure we did the city justice with the TEDx platform. So, we chose the theme of Bridges: Ideas that Connect Us to not only be reminiscent of one of Pittsburgh's iconic structures, but also to focus on ideas that foster connections. We've had a lot of great TEDx talks, last year specifically, on art and technology and what drives an individual to excel at those things. So this year we wanted to focus on community and uncover what is happening in Pittsburgh that affects where we eat, live, and play that brings us closer to our neighbors or to the world.
We're hoping to amplify some of the great ideas from Pittsburgh that are worth spreading and let both Pittsburghers and the world know that we have something to offer. And hopefully to inspire conversation and even more action.
So everything our TEDxPittsburgh team has been working on over the last 7 months, its with all of this in mind and we can't wait to see it play out on the Byham Theater stage this Saturday.
Preview of Saturday's Event:
We had about twice as many applicants as last year, so it was tough to narrow down the list to these 10 speakers, but I think we've put together a killer lineup. Our lineup includes a really interesting and varied set of topics and speakers. If our lineup was a playlist, I think you could listen front to back on a road trip and never be bored.
We'll hear from Dr. Jim Withers who was recently featured on CNN's Heroes for his work with Operation Safety Net. He's a leader of the street medicine movement and will essentially tell us more details and thought about why he chose to go beneath Pittsburgh's bridges to give medical care to homeless individuals.
We'll also hear from Gab of the Josh and Gab show, and a fresh and funny take on the anti-bullying message. Michelle King is also on the agenda, and is focusing on how to disrupt and rework education in the Pittsburgh area. Diane Turnshek, an astronomer from CMU is going to talk about how we as a community can be more connected to the night's sky. We'll even have the point of view from a local high school student on why anybody, from any background, can have an impact.
There are many other talks to look forward to as well, each speaker has what we believe to be an idea worth spreading. The kind of talks you can get lost in on Netflix, or would email to a friend as soon as you see them, or share on Twitter instantly, or better yet, change how you think about the world.
In fact, the cool thing about this set of TEDxPittsburgh talks, as different as they all are, is that there will be moments when the audience realizes that these amazing things are happening here in Pittsburgh. And, in fact, anyone can participate and apply something from each talk. And perhaps, even find the motivation to come up with their own new ideas.
Important thing to note: it is NOT too late to join the party!

'It is sometimes called so,'he replies, with the colour starting to his face.
'Don't sweethearts call it so?' she asks, pondering.
How should I know!'
Haven't you a sweetheart, upon your soul?'
She is moving away, with another 'Bless ye, and thank'ee. deary!' when he adds: You were to tell me something; you may as well do so.'
'So I was, so I was. Well then. Whisper. You be thankful that your name ain't Ned.'
He looks at her, quite steadily, as he asks: 'Why?'
'Because it is a bad name to have just now.'
'How a bad name?'
'A threatened name. A dangerous name.'
For whom does he utter these enigmatic lines? Edwin or his own divided self:
'To think,'he cries,'how often fellow-traveller, and yet not know it! To think how many times he went the journey, and never saw the road!'
For a look into the inner recesses of the heart, read the novel.

Making Brand Photography Iconic
Great imagery is powerful. People respond instantly to visual cues, so brand photography has to tell a story quickly; and to do that, it must be thoughtful and strategically narrative based. If it's not, you'll waste a lot of time and money. Good photography is expensive, but bad photography is really expensive.
At LPK, our visual media expertise helps brands tell their unique stories through an editorial approach. I spent many years as a creative at multiple publications—including nearly a decade as photo director at Bon Appétit magazine, during which I collaborated on a revamp of the magazine's photo strategy. I learned that understanding the story comes first; then comes creating, building and curating the array of images to carry that story.
Credit: Bon Appétit, February 2008; Lisa Hubbard, photographer.
In the magazine world, your photos are your brand. Change the style of the photography, and change the perception of the brand. In the product world, many brands tend to work strategically to build assets like logos, color and typography, while allowing their photography to languish as an afterthought. Photography is an incredibly overlooked and undervalued asset, and in this age of media saturation, being media savvy requires being photo savvy.
When photography is intrinsic to the creative process, it combines with all brand assets to represent a cohesive story. A photo narrative is the brand story we need to tell through pictures. Our recent work on the Hanes brand is a great example. The narrative is about the promise of a wide-open weekend day. Again, through a great story, we were able to create cohesive, on-equity imagery that looks consistent and compelling wherever it's used.

An editorial approach sets brands apart and heightens brand impact through consistent photo expression and a compelling story line. How does it accomplish this? It must:
A story-based approach identifies attributes unique to a brand and its consumers. Weaving these unique attributes into a narrative answers all the questions of why we are doing something. Why this lighting? Why those props? What is the right cast to bring this story to life? What are the scenarios we would script? Once these standards are established, we don't have to rethink each decision on set—we have a roadmap to follow to guide our choices, which saves time and money.
Through my editorial career, I've cultivated a broad network of international photographers who engage in this approach every day. That means LPK not only has access to world-class talent who can incorporate that narrative element anywhere clients need it, we also have a greater ability to match the team with the right portfolio and right approach to each project.
When those narrative attributes land in the hands of the right team, it doesn't just result in a powerful image; it also engages people by placing them in the story so they can experience how it unfolds for themselves.
Every brand has a story to tell, and nothing brings that story to life like compelling imagery. With brands today competing in so many spaces and on so many channels, powerful photography is more important than ever to make sure your brand is saying the right things, speaking to the right audience and creating the most buzz.
Is your brand photography an asset or an add-on? Are you using it to tell a story that's inherent to your brand's essence? Maybe it's time to take another look. If so, send me a note at email@example.com.
As Managing Creative Director, LPK Visual Media, Liz Mathews has developed a holistic standard of practice around curating imagery to illustrate, support and tell stories for brands. Her extensive experience as an editorial photo director gives her a unique point of view about optimal ways to use imagery to bring stories to life. An avid animal lover, when Liz is not driving teams of draft horses or trying to identify rare birds, you can find her at home cooking, painting or playing her guitar.

Wis. family loses home in Monday morning fire
TOWN OF SALEM -- A family of four lost its home in a fire early Monday morning in the town of Salem, escaping with the clothes on their backs, said a family friend.
Ellsworth Fire Chief Brent Langer said crews were called just after midnight Feb. 12 to the two-story wood-framed home between Plum City and Ellsworth on Highway 10. The home was ablaze when firefighters arrived. Langer said the occupants told him the home was "fully engulfed within two minutes."
"They woke up because of the smell and the noise of the crackling," Langer said.
Family friend Lori Seipel said Roger LaPorte and Tina Goss, along with their two teenage children, were sleeping when the fire broke out. Smoke alarms were sounding, but Goss told Seipel that everything happened so fast; they left the house with the pajamas they were wearing. Their daughter, 16, is a sophomore at Plum City High School, while their son, 13, is in at eighth grade at Plum City Middle School.
The home, located at W3701 Highway 10 at the bottom of what is known locally as the Wieser Hill, is a total loss, Seipel said. Langer confirmed, saying the second story and roof fell into the first story. Goss didn't have time to put on a pair of shoes; instead of grabbing shoes, she saved a family dog by throwing it out the window, Seipel added.
"Nothing is left of the upstairs," Seipel said. "Looking at the outside doesn't do it justice."
While no people were injured in the fire, a dog and cat died in the blaze.
Along with the home itself, the family lost everything, Seipel said. She is organizing an effort to collect household items and money for the family, which is staying at a hotel.
"Nothing is salvageable," she said. "They need everything from cereal bowls to beds."
Anyone interested in donating items can call Seipel at 715-307-1121. A fund has been set up at Waumandee State Bank (308 Third Ave. W., Durand) to collect monetary donations. For those who wish to give money, the funds can be directed to the "LaPorte Family" account.
Langer said firefighters were on the scene until about 4:30 a.m. Temperatures at that time hovered around 0, which caused some of the valves to freeze on the trucks. The crews used 45,000 gallons of water to fight the blaze. Plum City Fire Department sent one tender to assist Ellsworth firefighters.
While the fire's cause remains under investigation, the owners suspect it may have been a pellet stove, though that cannot be confirmed at this time, Langer said.


text: Preface: I am building a charging kit that contains a long, low gauge extension cord that can be used with various NEMA plugs. For example, I can connect it to a 14-50 to make a 14-50 extension cord, or a 6-20 to make it a 6-20 extension cord. I will be keeping all of these NEMA connectors with my car so that I can use it at any house with any connector I find. 1) I would like to protect myself and my charging kit by placing a GFCI at the front of the chain (closest to the outlet). Does anybody know where I can buy a 250V/40A rated inline GFCI device for less than $250? The closest I can find is a 250V/30A device for $263. Ouch! Why are these so pricy? At that price I can make my own with a small circuit breaker box and GFCI breaker. But I'd rather have something portable. DANIEL WOODHEAD Line Cord GFCI240VAC Voltage Rating, NEMA Plug Configuration30053-0M - Grainger Industrial Supply 2) I need to standardize on a male/female system so that I can quickly change adapters (without having to manually rewire them each time). I am hesitant to use a NEMA standard male/female system because when someone sees a plug like that, it implies a certain voltage/amperage capacity, which could be misleading depending on what connector is on the other end. I will label accordingly but I would rather not create the potential for someone to plug in and get something different than is expected/standardized. Is there any 250V/50A-rated male/female connector system (3-wire, or 2-wire + ground) that I can use to connect these things so there is no ambiguity about the NEMA implications?

Biotechnology production of medium for cultivation and lyophilization of lactic acid bacteria
The aim of our work was to develop a medium for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria and to select the optimal protective mediums for the freeze-drying of lactic acid bacteria. The objects of research were cultures of microorganisms Lactobacillus plantarum 7 and Lactobacillus casei 27 isolated, selected and stored in the National Scientific Center Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine (NSC "IECVM", Kharkiv). Cultivation of lactobacilli was carried out on medium MRS and Blaurock for 24-72 hours at the temperature of 37 °C. To develop nutrient media for the cultivation of lactobacilli, the selected components in the main composition of the medium: lactose, sodium phosphate disubstituted, sodium citrate. As components of the protective medium, solutions of sucrose, gelatinase, sodium acetate, and aerosol® were used. Because of the studies, the optimal composition of the nutrient medium was determined (lactose 1.2 %, sodium phosphate disubstituted 0.3 %, and sodium citrate 0.6 %) for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria on which bacteria grow and actively accumulate a significant number of viable cells from 7.1 to 8.2 × 106 CFU/cm3. In the various cultivation regimes of lactobacilli, pH 7.0 is optimal, and the temperature of the inoculum incubation is 37±0,5 °C. An alternative protective medium is added with the addition of 10 % sucrose, 1.0 % gelatinase and 3.0 % aerosil, which ensures the viability of viable cells after lyophilization of strains of L. plantarum 7 and L. casei 27, respectively, 96 % and 97 %.
