World News - IRAQ CORRUPTION UNPRECEDENTED
A committee investigating corruption in Iraq says it has reached unprecedented levels and those responsible are nearly untouchable. Judge Radi Hamza Radi, head of the Iraqi Commission on Public Integrity set up in 2004, says corruption has exploded" since the fall of Saddam Husseins regime in 2003. Judge Radi blamed "the weakness of state institutions during the transition period which saw several governments succeed each other in a short period of time". "Also, the absence of serious punishment hasn't helped us control this plague," he added. Eight former ministers are under investigation, including former defence minister Hazem Shaalan, who is accused of "squandering" $A1.76 billion. Of 1,400 court cases filed 42 involved high-ranking officials. ...

US, Iraqi forces besiege Shi'ite mosque: police
U.S. and Iraqi forces with armored vehicles surrounded a Shi'ite mosque in southeastern Baghdad after dark on Saturday in what appeared to be the latest operation against Shi'ite militias, police said. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military or the Iraqi Interior Ministry but a policeman at the scene outside the Sadrain mosque in the Zafaraniya district said he believed they were trying to arrest members of the Shi'ite Mehdi Army militia. The mosque is believed to be loyal to radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose Mehdi Army fighters have been the target of several recent operations by government and U.S. forces, including a major raid on Baghdad's Sadr City area on Friday. The U.S. military said it captured a major militant suspect accused of kidnappings and murders in that raid, although Shi'ite political sources said a renowned local warlord known as Abu Deraa, whose neighborhood was targeted, was still at large. ...

Mass Protests Slated For Mexico Refusing To Concede Election, Leftist Presidential Candidate Calls For Help
Mexico's leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called his supporters onto the streets Saturday to protest his rival's narrow victory in a vote he said was more fraudulent than those held during 71 years of one-party rule. The nationwide protests, including a rally in Mexico City's famed Zocalo plaza, could mark a turning point in what has so far been a peaceful campaign by the fiery candidate to reverse the apparent triumph of conservative Felipe Calderon. In a meeting with foreign correspondents Saturday, Lopez Obrador said there were more irregularities in last Sunday's balloting than in elections under the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which ruled Mexico until it was ousted by President Vicente Fox in 2000. ...

Rhode Island lighthouse up for sale to highest bidder
Looking for an isolated, rustic ocean oasis? Then the U.S. government may have a deal for you.It's auctioning the Hog Island Shoal Light, an isolated lighthouse about three-quarters of a mile northwest of the Portsmouth coast. Built in 1901, the white tower alerts passing ships to shoals near the entrance of Mount Hope Bay.Federal law requires the U.S. government to first offer historic lighthouses at no cost to non-profit groups such as local governments or preservation societies, according to the U.S. General Services Administration. If non-profits aren't interested, lighthouses are offered for sale to the public.GSA officials say Hog Island Shoal Light is one of five lighthouses in Rhode Island, Maine and Maryland that are being put on the auction block.The largest bid so far is $25,000, according to a GSA website. That's chump change considering that bidding closed on the Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse at $260,000....

Gaza Crisis Tale of Lost Opportunity, Divergent Visions and Angry Reprisals
Gaza's transformation into a battlefield is a tale of lost opportunity and clashing visions. The capture of a young Israeli soldier and Israel's tough response have threatened Israeli support for withdrawal from the West Bank, exposed rifts among the Islamic militants of Hamas and rendered the Palestinians' moderate president irrelevant. Expectations that Palestinians would begin building their own state following Israel's historic withdrawal from the impoverished Gaza Strip last year have given way to despair and escalating bloodshed. Israeli troops who had been clashing periodically with militants are back in Gaza fighting pitched battles with masked gunmen firing AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. Undersupplied Palestinian hospitals cancel non-emergency treatment to tend to the wounded. Families are fleeing their homes. ...

Separate trials ordered for 2 accused of ties to brothel at Zumba studio in Maine seaside town
KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) � A judge ordered separate trials for a Zumba fitness instructor accused of turning her dance studio into a brothel and for a man accused of being her business partner, an attorney said Tuesday.
The man, Mark Strong Sr., will go to trial first. Strong's lawyer said the judge put Strong's case on the January trial list while dance instructor Alexis Wright will be tried later.
Strong, of Thomaston, has pleaded not guilty to 59 misdemeanor counts of promotion of prostitution and violation of privacy. Wright, of Wells, has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts including prostitution and invasion of privacy.
Strong, an insurance agent who says he provided money to what he thought was a legitimate business venture, is looking forward to having a jury scrutinize the evidence, attorney Daniel Lilley said Tuesday.
The website for the Portsmouth Herald reported that four men have pleaded guilty to engaging a prostitute and were not included on the three lists of names of john suspects released by police in Kennebunk, a seaside town of about 10,000 residents. That brings the total number of men charged with engaging a prostitute to at least 58, including some from New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
A lawyer who's seen the client list said it contains the names of more than 150 men, some of them prominent. Those accused so far have included a former mayor, a former minister and a high school ice hockey coach.
The town, next to Kennebunkport, home to the Bush family's Walker's Point summer compound, made international headlines when Wright was charged last month. Police said she videotaped many of the encounters without her clients' knowledge and kept meticulous records suggesting the sex acts generated $150,000 over 18 months.
The scandal has hit the small community hard, with unwanted publicity, rampant speculation over who's on the list and fears that families will be torn apart.

text: Monday, June 17, 2013 Medicaid/CHIP Report Discusses Access to Adults With Disabilities Among the conclusions of the June 2013 MACPAC report is that more research is needed on how nonphysician practitioners could improve access to care for Medicaid enrollees with disabilities. The Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) released its Report to the Congress on Medicaid and CHIP last week. The report, issued annually, includes a chapter on access to care for adults with disabilities. Based on large-scale population surveys, provider and stakeholder data, consumer interviews and other qualitative data, and state Medicaid program data, MACPAC reported that access to health care among Medicaid-only enrollees with disabilities is comparable to that of other insured persons with disabilities; that unmet need among Medicaid-only enrollees with disabilities is lower than that of individuals with disabilities covered by private insurance or Medicare only; and that preventive services are underused among Medicaid enrollees with disabilities, although findings vary by service. In addition to the need for research on nonphysicians and access to care, MACPAC reported that other areas in need of further research are the impact of enabling services on access to care, disability competency and accessibility in Medicaid provider networks, and evaluation and best practices in risk-based managed care and in service delivery for enrollees with disabilities. Also in the report are chapters on Medicaid and CHIP eligibility and coverage for maternity services, the newly implemented increase in Medicaid physician payment for primary care services, the availability of data on Medicaid and CHIP that can be used for oversight and program monitoring, ways to improve the effectiveness of program integrity efforts, and the interaction between Medicaid benefits and the health insurance exchanges.

Genworth Financial Wealth Management announced Monday that it has established a governing board of directors that will include prominent asset management industry veteran Charles Goldman as its appointed chairman. Also tapped to serve on the board are Hal Strong of Genstar Capital and Steven Spiegel of Aquiline Capital Partners.
Located in Pleasant Hill, Calif., Genworth Financial Wealth Management in September moved forward as an independent company with the completion of its sale from Genworth Financial (GNW) to a partnership of the two private equity firms, Aquiline and Genstar.
New board chairman Goldman, known as an advocate for the fiduciary standard, co-founded the now defunct RIA cooperative Advizent with Steve Lockshin and counted Vanguard founder John Bogle as a board member. Prior to Advizent's closing in March, Goldman had previously served as president of custody and clearing at Fidelity Investments, as well as head of Schwab Institutional, among other senior roles at The Charles Schwab Corp.
"We are pleased to partner with directors of this caliber and be able to draw on their vast experience in wealth management and advisory services. I look forward to working with Charles, Hal and Steven to ensure that we continue to enhance our capabilities for advisors and their clients," said Gurinder S. Ahluwalia, president and CEO of Genworth Financial Wealth Management, in a statement.
Goldman was also a consultant at The Boston Consulting Group, and has served on boards of companies and associations, including his current service on the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards and the board for Personal Capital Corporation.
"I'm excited to be working with the Genworth Financial Wealth Management team," Goldman said in a statement. "Having spent much of my career serving advisors, I look forward to using my experience to help the team and other directors continue to deliver sophisticated solutions and industry-leading service to the firm's clients."
Strong has served in senior roles across the asset management and investment banking industries over the last 30 years and is now an operating executive at Genstar Capital. Previously, he was vice chairman of Russell Investments, where he had an 18-year career. At Russell, he also served as chief operating officer, chief financial officer, head of alternative investments and head of investment banking.
Spiegel is a partner at Aquiline Capital Partners and has extensive experience leading asset management firms. He was previously vice chairman of Putnam Investments and director of corporate development at Marsh & McLennan Cos. Spiegel also served as chairman of PanAgora Asset Management and as a director of Mercer Management Consulting and Nippon Life Asset Management Co.

The release of Visual Studio 2012 brought with it .NET Framework 4.5, and many interesting nes features. In this article the first in a short series on the new Framework I'll examine the most useful global improvements that affect the Common Language Run-time (CLR).
.NET Framework 4.5 does not support Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, and therefore, if you have to create applications that target these operating systems, you will need to stay with .NET Framework 4.0. In contrast, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 in all of their editions include .NET Framework 4.5.
You can install .NET Framework 4.5 in any of the following operating systems (which do not include it):
- Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit)
- Windows Vista with Service Pack 2, also known as SP2 (64-bit and 32-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 (it is only available in 64-bit). .NET Framework 4.5 supports Server Core Role with Service Pack 1, also known as SP1 or later
- Windows Server 2008 (64-bit and 32-bit). However, .NET Framework 4.5 doesn't support Server Core Role on this operating system
.NET Framework 4.5 does not support Itanium processors. If you install it on any of the listed operating systems, the installation detects and closes .NET Framework 4 applications to reduce the necessary system restarts. It also replaces .NET Framework 4 files, and therefore, it requires applications that use those files to be closed or you will have to restart to complete installation.
Support for Arrays Larger than 2 GB on 64-bit Platforms
One of the most frustrating experiences I have had with 64-bit support on the .NET Framework is the limitation on arrays, which cannot exceed 2 GB. One of the main reasons you move to 64-bit platforms is to access more than 2 GB, and this limitation was a big problem for those of us trying to work with large matrices and vectors. No matter the amount of available RAM available, it was very common to have a System.
OutOfMemoryException whenever you worked with large matrices and vectors, as follows:
System.OutOfMemoryException was unhandled HResult=-2147024882 Message=Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. Source=Console64BitArrays
Thankfully, .NET Framework 4.5 introduces a configuration attribute in the run-time schema that enables arrays larger than 2 GB in total size on 64-bit applications. You need only enable the
gcAllowVeryLargeObjects element that controls the behavior of the .NET garbage-collection system. For example, line 7 in the following
App.config example of a 64-bit .NET Framework 4.5 console application enables
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" /> </startup> <runtime> <gcAllowVeryLargeObjects enabled="true" /> </runtime> </configuration>
This way, it is possible to take better advantage of available memory when working with huge arrays on 64-bit platforms (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Inspecting an array of 150,000,000 decimal elements in Visual Studio 2012, with an application that has gcAllowVeryLargeObjects enabled.
You can combine this setting with the garbag- collection improvements explained in the next section. The bad news is that the maximum number of elements in arrays is still the same as in .NET Framework 4.0.
Enhanced Background Server Garbage Collection
.NET Framework 4.5 changes the default mode for server garbage collection to the new background server garbage collection. Thus, whenever you enable the
gcServer element in the run-time schema to change from the default workstation garbage collection to server garbage collection, you will be activating the new mode.
For example, line 7 in the following
App.config example of a 64-bit .NET Framework 4.5 console application activates background server garbage collection:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" /> </startup> <runtime> <gcServer enabled ="true" /> </runtime> </configuration>
A common problem with previous versions of the .NET Framework with multithreaded applications was frequent garbage collections that blocked all the threads until the collection completed. That was typical with workstation garbage collection and the pattern is known as "workstation garbage collection overhead."
Whenever you couldn't reduce the memory pressure in your algorithms, you usually achieved a speedup by enabling the server garbage collection, also known as "Server GC," by simply enabling the
gcServer element in the run-time schema. The Server GC would maximize throughput and improve scalability as the number of available cores increased because it dedicated more threads to garbage collection and reduced the overall time to complete garbage collection. The drawback was that it required scheduling more threads than the workstation garbage collection mechanism.
The new background server garbage collection usually creates a managed heap and one dedicated background garbage-collection thread per logical core. Each background garbage-collection thread has its appropriate thread-affinity setting assigned to each available logical core. These background garbage-collection threads don't time out and can remove dead objects and expand heap. The improved algorithms reduce the amount of foreground garbage collections, and hence, improve overall throughput.
The good news is that you don't have to make changes in your code. If you were already using server garbage collection, you will usually notice increased throughput and fewer threads blocked until foreground collection finishes in .NET Framework 4.5.

Amarok Insider on Technical Preview and More
Amarok Insider is the newsletter previously known as Amarok Weekly News (AWN), and is now hosted on the official Amarok website. The new issue covers the freshly released Amarok 2.0 Technical Preview, Amarok's Media Device architecture, the Context View, Playlist, Service Framework, the MS Windows version, recent happenings inside the Amarok team, and much more.
I noticed the coverflow like collection browser in one of the screenshots in this article. I've got the technology preview of Amarok installed on my system, but can't find how to enable this feature. Does anybody here now how to do this, since it looks really nice, and I'd like to test it.
Oh, and Amarok2 is starting to look really promising. I really like the new playlist! Thanks for all the work, amarok people!
By pinda at Tue, 2008/01/22 - 6:00am
Re: Coverflow?
I installed the Kubuntu packages. I can enable CoverBling in Settings/Configure Amarok/Appearance/Use CoverBling.
It doesn't appear to do much for the time being, anyway.
By Juan Ignacio Pu... at Tue, 2008/01/22 - 6:00am
Re: Coverflow?
d'oh, I looked over it... thanks...
It looks nice btw... I hope it gets functional soon.
By pinda at Tue, 2008/01/22 - 6:00am
Re: Coverflow?
CoverBling is, as the name suggests, bling and nothing else. Concepts exist exploring the idea of expanding the concept from Apple's coverflow uselessness into a much more useful thing, but as for code, none currently exists bar this proof of concept. Sorry :)
If you want to help, of course... ;)

Playing Streams
I can't even get the included streams (ShoutCast for eg.) to play, as a matter of fact nothing is working like it was with KDE 4 RC1 an RC2. I just don't know why. I even tried to play mp3 files but the program crashes constantly.

Great software
Great software, I love Amarok.
Could you guys include a way that Amarok calls up a KDE video player, Codeine/Kaffeine/whatever so I can play my music videos from within Amarok. (or at least click on them within Amarok?
Also I second that, it would be great if there were some sort of Wizard, or tutorial mode, that shows off all the features of Amarok in an easy to learn fashion for novices.
Also could you do some sort of plasmoid that would show what song is currently playing with some simple information that shows as a widget on KDE 4.x? I'd like to see what's playing without having to call up the whole program from being minimized.
By Max at Tue, 2008/01/22 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
In Amarok 1.4, for podcasts you can right click on them and play them with an external app (eg a movies player). For Amarok 2.0 we'll likely integrate a simple video player.
By Ian Monroe at Tue, 2008/01/22 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
Yeah, I miss the ability to play music videos with Amarok as well. I have several hundreds of clips, but not really a good player to play them all and have some queue management as well. So that option would be good (I already took a sneak peak into Amarok 2 code myself to see if I could shift in some code of my own to accomplish this on a dirty-hack manner).
Anyway: great work, keep it up! And I definitely own you guys some beers might I ever run into you!
By Bert at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
I *love* amarok. I spend about 8 hours a day on the computer and I know amarok better than my girlfriend ;) THANK YOU for this great piece of software!
You obviously are free to integrate whatever you desire, I just want to express my dearest hopes it'll stay a great music player that doesn't get too much into the users face.
I think one should be careful about implementing wishes from minorities (of users). One day, amarok might be able to read my mail, but I'll be probably be using something else by then. I cannot imagine that a significant amount of amarok users want to watch videos in playlists. I might be wrong, though.
By anonymous coward at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
Well with something like playing videos, its pretty easy to keep it out of the way for users who don't want the feature. I mean if there's no video in the playing track, you don't show a video. And we won't bend our user interface around to make it about playing videos, like (at least old versions of) WMP does, if that's what you were worried about. It will be just simple video playing support, showing up in the context view.
I read the first sentence of your post to my girlfriend, she feels your girlfriends pain. ;) Thanks for your support.
By Ian Monroe at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
i thought the idea still was to put the video stream in place of the analyse? (as in, when there's audio visualisation included, replace out generated one with the included...) ;)
By Dan Leinir Turt... at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Along with a video player
Along with integrating the simple video player, could you also make it so visualizations could be played on said video player?
By NuclearPeon at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great software
"Also I second that, it would be great if there were some sort of Wizard, or tutorial mode, that shows off all the features of Amarok in an easy to learn fashion for novices."
i suppose it makes most sense to use documentation for this. compiling walkthroughs in wiki probably is the most sensible thing, at least for noe :)
"Also could you do some sort of plasmoid that would show what song is currently playing with some simple information that shows as a widget on KDE 4.x?"
given the plasma-centric everything, it is possible that plasmoids from amarok could be placed anywhere.
there's also kirocker - now, if only somebody picked it up and ported to plasma... :)

You could always try to play around with some of the services. If you use the filter a lot in Jamendo or Magnatune I am sure we can find a crash for you! :-)

I hope the worm doesn't turn
I've seen many developers of Linux projects begin work on a Windows version only to see the developers become fat with money flowing in from the Windows side and give up on Linux development from being hired away by big companies and told to sit in a corner to discourage them from returning to Linux development.
I hope the focus remains on Linux and the values of FOSS.
By Anonymous at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
With the underlying KDE libraries ported to Windows and OS X there won't be a Windows or OS X version of Amarok per say. It'll all be the same Amarok codebase. Same with any other application.
By Skeith at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
And how many developers like that have you *really* seen? Two or three examples would suffice my curiousity :)
By Alexandre Prokoudine at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
Skype is the best example that comes to mind at the moment.
Firefox devs are working hard to integrate Firefox into Vista, while they've largely ignored Linux users for some time.
By T. J. Brumfield at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
I disagree based on my impressions of a recent Firefox 3 nightly. There is better integration with the Linux desktop in a number of areas, most visibly there is improved styling of form controls using Gtk.
By Robert Knight at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
I wouldn't worry too much about Firefox.
I think the biggest reason FOSS and Linux is getting so big at the moment is BECAUSE OF FIREFOX. It makes sure that websites look the same and are easily decoded across plattforms. I've been running Firefox 3 beta for about a week now, and I don't see any problems with it. (well yahoo mail beta doesn't work right, but that's about it)
I wonder if anybody will integrate Firefox into Plasma (or the RSS part of it)?
By Max at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn
I think you are giving Firefox too much honor.
There have been Apache: With Apache, IBM first took note that Open Source may be a good idea.
Then there was of course Linux the kernel, which has turned into a power horse, starting with 2.4, and absolutely there with 2.6 series. The list of companies working on it is like the who is who. From Nokia to Samsung to the more obviously Linux associated ones.
Then there was MySQL, which made Linux together with MySQL the absolute best choice as for fast web applications. It wasn't as capable as Postgresql, but it was damn fast.
Gnome/KDE and a lot more successful projects, that really made inroads in companies, and the toolkits behind, Qt and GTK, and not to forget wxWindows are very relevant to a large developer population.
I am a bit hesitant to mention OpenOffice, but to some Windows people an Office that needs no crack, was confusing and some real news and indication, how nice a world computers could be. I am thinking of OpenOffice as a largely failed project technically, but it does the trick for a while.
And to answer your question: Of course, KDE doesn't have any need or desire to integrate Firefox, as it has a nice web browser that I absolutely prefer over Firefox (only use it once in a week for that buggy website), and that is Konqueror with its KHTML, which was turned into Webkit and delivered as Safari by Apple (who hired Firefox developers to do that, btw) and is part of Qt 4.4, so it's the natural choice. I think the 4.1 Konqueror is going to surpass Firefox on the web browsing aspect.
BTW: I am currently using a Gutsy/Hardy mix with Konqueror 4 as the default web browser, and I am very impressed by its speed of rendering. Firefox is very slow, even compared to Konqueror 3. I am very much looking forward to the first near finished KDE 4 release.
And the RSS part has its counterpart in akregator. I use it every day, it embeds Konqueror nicely, and works perfect. No idea what Firefox does with RSS, but I couldn't stand any not KDE integrated interface unless I really had to.
Well, as you guessed by now, I only have faint memories of Windows. I think the last time I used it for anything else but gaming was like 2002, and only until I got my new employer convinced. I was only the Linux desktop since 2000 and on Linux as a server since 1995.
I think Firefox has helped a great many people to stay on Windows, which otherwise would have been impossible due to the extremely vulnerable Internet Explorer. It gives Microsoft very much needed breathing time, to restart the browser development. Back then, I knew people who went to Linux, because it was better for web browsing. I think it still is, but there is no more pain for the aware Windows user. So, honestly, their contribution to FOSS adoption is under doubt.
It may still be good, but I think their crappy Netscape code better had remained closed, then more healthy code like KHTML would have prevailed an gone further than it did so far. I am so glad, they managed to get past that now, but years were lost. Mind you, I used Mozilla when the releases were still named like M16/M18, and that was incredibly long ago. The same applies to OpenOffice.org btw.

That's correct. I tried the latest Beta and I was surprised that it used my KDE icon-theme.
Btw, has anyone tried to run the laest Firefox beta on KDE 4?

Re: I hope the worm doesn't turn

Thank You!!
Thank you again for working so hard on Amarok!!
This will be the greatest music player EVARRR!!! <--- Sorry, had to. :)
Could you please integrate some way to play Pandora streams within Amarok (hopefully that's even possible..)
I agree, focus on making it a great audio player, we really don't need a fancier feature, than just one that let's us play music videos buried within song playlists. (I have a few songs, that are only part of a video)
Thanks for the plasma integration too.
Are you going to include some sort of "upsampling" that makes the sound quality of music better than the actual file?
Does Amarok support (or will it) support a feature that creates playlists on similar style of music (like it analyzes the beat patterns, or something an groups like songs together?)
Also, please add some sort of first time wizard, or video tutorial on Youtube, nothing to fancy. But I want to get to know all of Amarok's features, as well as cool "shortcuts".
By Max at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Thank You!!
Hey, thanks for the praise! Feedback like this keeps us motivated :)
By Mark Kretschmann at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Thank You!!
Why not some kind of pluggable playlist import? This could allow separate programs or webservices to generate the "similar" music playlists?

"10 foot" interface / "Car PC" interface
I know you already have enough on your plate, but could you also design the option/theme in Amarok for a "10 foot" interface, that can be read from far away, and a "CAR PC" interface that can be used on a tiny 7" touch screen?
Btw, it would be great if KDE itself designs some plasmoids/theme/front end, that work well on a 7" touch screen in a "Car PC".
By Steve M at Wed, 2008/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: "10 foot" interface / "Car PC" interface
Well we do hope to improve our scripting interface. Making such an interface would be pretty easy then.

Great show!I had the good fortune of being there with friends from Texas and Paris. What an unbelievable show that is still my best U2 memory. Thank God for Larry, Adam, Bono, and the Edge. God bless U2!
26 July, 2013
Great album!That is a great album! I just woul like it to be released on CD! I have the DVD and I can say that the band was great in Paris performing that show!
31 August, 2012
How to improve on perfectionI fully admit to being biased. I love the Joshua Tree and it came along at a pivotal point in my life and is very much part of my personal soundtrack. The deluxe reissue is brilliant. Not just because it gives me digital versions of a lot of things I have on cassette singles - though that doesn't hurt in my book. The sound of the Joshua Tree was something totally new and the final product was very clean and pared down to fit. The reissue broadens the picture U2 were creating. Whether you experienced the impact of the album at the time or not this is a must have.
23 August, 2012
Paris 87 DVDThis is such a stunning show! Please release the soundtrack on CD. Trip through your wires, brilliant. Unforgettable Fire, unforgettable!

We actually started potty training around 6 months, but not actually trying hard. We just set her on it and she went so we kept doing it. She's been pretty much completely trained since she was about 16 months old. Why wait till they get used to going in their diapers? I think that's why they don't want to learn after a while.

text: Thursday, May 02, 2013 Proposed Rule Updates SNF PPS Payment Rates for FY 2014 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule yesterday that outlines Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 updates for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) payment rates. The updates included a 1.4% estimated SNF market basket update to FY 2014 payments, with CMS estimating a $500 million increase in FY 2014 aggregate payments. CMS also noted that providers were not negatively impacted by FY 2012 allocation of group therapy minutes and implementation of the change of therapy. Additionally, the proposed rule would add items 00420 (Calendar Days of Therapy) to the Minimum Data Set and clarify that "classification criteria for the Rehabilitation RUG categories require that the resident receive the requisite number of distinct calendar days of therapy to be classified into the Rehabilitation RUG category." RUG stands for resource utilization group. The RUG level, which is based on facility needs, nursing care, and therapy minutes provided per week, determines the amount of money per day that Medicare will pay for a patient's stay at a facility. The proposed rule would also invite suggestions to identify alternatives to current methods used to pay for therapy services under the SNF PPS, and require SNFs, beginning October 1, 2013, to record the number of distinct calendar days of therapy provided by all rehabilitation disciplines over the 7-day look-back period for the current assessment. CMS will accept comments on provisions of the proposed rule until July 1, 2013. APTA will provide a comprehensive summary of the proposed rule in the next few days and will submit comments on behalf of the membership.

Music Australia has been integrated into Trove.
Music Australia was released in April 2005 and brought together Australian music and music related resources into a single online discovery service. All the resources and people and organisation records previously in Music Australia are available in Trove.
Via Music Australia, the National Library worked with partners and contributors to expose the rich collections of music and resources in both hard copy and digitised form held by libraries, archives and other cultural institutions across Australia.
Trove has brought new awareness to this content by placing Australian music in a wider context, especially with reference to the digitized newspaper content. For example, the early history of Australian music has been extensively researched by Graeme Skinner in his PhD at the University of Sydney. The study was a first attempt to provide contemporary Australian composition with a pre-history, by tracing settler Australian music from its foundations. Graeme used Trove to trace the earliest music compositions. The outcome of his research is available in Trove as "Toward a general history of Australian music composition: first national music, 1788-c.1860" at http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/81022028.
Please be aware that as a result of this integration the format of search URLs have changed, therefore any saved or bookmarked Music Australia hyperlinks that use search terms will no longer work (eg: http://www.musicaustralia.org/search/kangaroo)
You may want to learn how to construct Trove search URLs to replace your Music Australia search links.

The science of heterogeneous polymers: structure and thermophysical properties
John Wiley, Apr 25, 1995 - Science - 235 pages
The Science of Heterogeneous Polymers Structure and Thermophysical Properties V. P. Privalko Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine and V. V. Novikov Odessa Polytechnical Institute, Odessa, Ukraine The impact of structural heterogeneity on the materials science of polymers cannot be understated, and has provided the stimulus for the production of this comprehensive treatise on the subject. Presented in two parts, the first reviews evidence of heterogeneity of filled polymers, polymer blends and co-polymers on different structural scales. The second section is devoted to the analysis of composition, dependence of heat conductivity and thermoelastic parameters of different polymeric materials, and also develops the Step-by-Step Averaging approach. Providing both a critical evaluation of characterization methods and a quantitative description of composition-dependent properties, The Science of Heterogeneous Polymers will have broad appeal within academic and industrial sectors, being of particular interest to researchers and postgraduate students of materials and polymer science, as well as engineers and technicians developing polymers for advanced technologies.

This is the first in a series of blog posts of Photos relating to the 1940 Census.
Here is the 1940 Census for this household:
There is a couple of issues here: The wife's name is not Louise. Louise was not 45 at the time. I will find the wife, my mother, elsewhere in the 1940 census.
Two people are missing, my grandmother and my aunt, as can be seen in the 1930 Census.
Mary L Million was a maid in 1930 and was confirmed to be by my mother before she passed away.
I confirmed with my aunt, that she was still at the above address in 1940, as she was in high school and living at home.
Here is a photo taken in 2012 of that house as recorded in the 1940 Census. Will have to work to get a better one.
However, here is a picture of the same house in 1929, which would be just before the 1930 Census as reported above.
Next to the house is a barn and this was taken in 1938, just before the 1940 Census.
In 1999, the barn looked like this.

Dear Readers,
I'm at my parent's house in Arizona. And I always get a little wordy with my posts when I'm out here in the country. All this fresh air clears my head, I think. :)
I've been keeping up this site for a long time – going on six whole years! (how did that happen?!) I've been a blog reader for even longer, and by now, I've learned a bit as both a producer and a consumer of creative sites. It feels like there's a change in the wind lately, doesn't it?
All of us content-producers that work for ourselves, we're all trying to figure out our place in this fast-paced, idea-sharing world – with its Pinterests and Tumblrs and Instagrams (and now Vines!). I know it's weird to be on the content-consumer end of things right now as well. Blogging is such a new, and kind of weird media. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, we are not (which I think is part of the charm and allure of blogging). As we all know, most of the time, blogs are run by one person, out of their home, who happens to have a passion, who wants to share it, and who hopes to eventually make a fair wage for their labors. We're still trying to figure out the money bit. What's appropriate when we genuinely feel that our readers are our friends, and when we're often talking about deeply personal things? You readers are front and center as we muddle through all of this and more: sponsorship opportunities, attending and feeling the need to report on conferences about blogging, then also dealing with difficult "real life" situations as well as just the small-scale highs and lows of everyday life. And then of course (!), producing content all the while.
I've tried to be better about this in recent years, but back in the day I felt like I had to have a project *done* before I shared it here. It wasn't like that in the very beginning though. When I first started blogging, I was openly sharing everything I had on my mind – big and small. When no one's reading your site (and with no mean-spirited comments occasionally coming in) there's nothing to be self-conscious of. When I started getting more traffic (and some of those less-fun comments), I noticed myself holding back a little more. Also, some of the real joy of sharing was starting to leave, which is a bummer for me to think about.
Well, I've decided to let go a little, to get back to basics. And I'm determined to reclaim some of that lost joy, especially now that my interiors business is doing well and other media opportunities are opening up to me. I know now that I'm not blogging as a means to an end. It's the blogging itself that I think I love the most. So, how to make that more sustainable and more fun?
As a blog reader, I know that I love getting to know the writer behind the blog as much as I love their great content. I love the small projects just as much as (sometimes even more than) the grandiose room reveals. I like feeling like I'm along for the ride as the blogger lets me get inside his/her head. This is where bloggers can differentiate themselves from the other social media outlets. We can dig deeper into the story. We can share more.
And what's the point if we're not? Might as well stick with Instagram.
I know this is a rather wordy, out-of-left-field post, and I don't mean to pull back the curtain in an unsavory way. And I don't write it to make any sort of announcements about the future of this site. But, as my site redesign and url change (!!!) are finally reaching completion (and after several lengthy, late-night conversations with other bloggers at Alt), I've come to the realization that if I want to keep going with LGN, I need to be willing to share more. All with less worry for what other people think of my projects and my style, because that is the whole point. I named this site Little Green Notebook after an idea journal I used to keep in my bag (before the days of iPhones) that would record all my notes to self. Project ideas with sketches, shopping lists, clothes and shoes to save up for, stores to look up online, dreams and goals. So, all that to say, I hope you keep joining me here during the week as I get back to sharing more of these things again. I love, love, love having you. I imagine you all as my girlfriends that I feel comfortable enough to have over even when my house is a bit messy. Thanks for being so chill, thoughtful, respectful and cool to me as I put my ideas and my personal life out there. :)
I did this little project last week. As I snapped the photos I thought, no one is going to care about a piece of ribbon on a lampshade in an unfinished room. But those sound like the worries of Old Jenny, don't they? And New Jenny digs simple, achievable projects and shares. So, onward with the post!
Before I went to Alt, I was changing the girls' sheets, dreaming/lamenting about how much I want to do to their room this year (like new bedding – stat!). In the spirit of making small, but impactful changes, I decided there needed to be more red in the room. I ran down to the lamp graveyard (as Michael calls it) in the basement and grabbed this tomato red ginger jar lamp (seen here previously). I wish I had a black paper shade on hand, but this cheapy white one from Target worked too. (It is so hard to pass up those dang uno shades at Target. They are SO inexpensive and accessible! I just wish they would make more shades that work with harps. Same with IKEA's shades).
Table lamps in kids rooms can look a little stuffy, you know? So one of my favorite tricks is to glue colorful trim to the top and bottom lips of the shade. Instant whimsy! (…I hate myself a little bit for saying that word). Like with almost every textile project I do, I used MagnaTac here (but Fabritac works equally well). Also, I used to recommend grosgrain for trimming out shades, but I think something with more stretch and give works best with shades that have any kind of sloped sides. This orange and violet vintage woven trim I picked up from SAS in Phoenix worked perfectly. Just roll under and glue the last inch where the ends meet to prevent fraying.
Five minutes of gluing later, I had some tangy, bright persimmon red in the room, and I felt better about the space. And (to bring it all back home) isn't that what it's all about? Small and simple steps. :)
